WVU BULLIES USF

by emily spickler correspondent

“This defense is really starting to gel. I’m proud of them.”

— WVU head coach Bill Stewart

WVUp All Night, a weekend night program held in the Mountainlair for students who want sober and safe social activities, has almost doubled in popularity.

Participation in WVUp All Night is estimated to have increased between 45 and 60 percent since this time last year, said Sonja Wilson, director of the program.

These numbers were calculated by the night operation staff in the Mountainlair, she said.

Data of students’ IDs, in addition to ledgers kept by the night staff and Dining Services, show a significant increase in participation, Wilson said.

She attributes this popularity boost to making some fundamental changes to the program.

“Last year, we did a student voice survey online and surveys in and outside of the Mountainlair,” Wilson said.

“One of Dr. (Ivan) Pinnell’s (public relations) classes did an entire capstone project on Up All Night. We really listened to what students wanted for Up All Night.”

Another way the program got students’ perspectives was through the newly formed internship program with WVUp All Night.

“We chose seven non-paid interns this semester who we meet with, and they help to give us perspective on what students want,” Wilson said.

One of the interns for the program, Jackie Ruggiero, a senior marketing major, said she is in charge of promotion and updating Twitter and Facebook accounts for Up All Night.

“One of the major changes we implemented were themed weekends,” Wilson said. “The

USF quarterback B.J. Daniels threw three interceptions, and the WVU defense didn’t allow a touchdown in a 20-6 victory over the Bulls Thursday night.

The Mountaineers’ defense kept Daniels in check after passing for three touchdowns and rushing for more than 100 yards in last year’s meeting. The Mountaineers’ sophomore quarterback Geno Smith threw two touchdowns in the win. WVU’s offense scored a touchdown on a trick play near halftime to secure the victory.

Survey available for input on Student Wellness Facility

BY SARAH O’ROURKE STAFF WRITER

The Student Government Association at West Virginia University and WELL WVU is requesting students fill out a survey about what they would like to see implemented in the newly proposed Student Health Center.

The proposed $18.8 million Student Health Center will house all departments of WELL WVU, which include Student Health Services and the Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services.

The survey is available through MIX until midnight Wednesday.

The survey has 12 questions regarding various aspects of the new facility and a section available for any additional comments or concerns students may want to add.

Some questions in the survey include what characteristics of the facility that could be available within the new Student Health and Wellness Facility and the top 10 services students would like to see put in the new facility in order of rank from a list of 19 options.

As of Thursday night, 120 students completed the survey, said former SGA Vice President and Graduate Assistant to WELL WVU Whitney Rae Peters.

Peters said some students who completed the survey were against the idea of a new Student Health Center and would rather see the money designated toward something such as cutting the cost of attending college.

SGA President Chris Lewallen said SGA is trying to get a general idea about what students want in the facility and how much

Journalism school, AP to host US Senate candidate debate Monday

BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR

West Virginia University’s Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism will partner with the Associated Press on Monday to host the only scheduled live debate between all four candidates for West Virginia’s U.S. Senate seat.

The debate will feature a panel of journalists asking questions to candidates Democrat Gov. Joe Manchin, Republican John Raese, the

Mountain Party’s Jesse Johnson and Constitution Party’s Jeff Becker.

The event is produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting with assistance from the League of Women Voters.

“It’s great anytime we can be part of something that could help inform voters and educate our citizens about an important decision,” said Emily Corio, assistant news director at West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

Polls are calling it a toss up.”

The debate will broadcast from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. on WV PBS. It will also be played on the radio on WVPM 90.9 FM and uploaded to YouTube, Corio said.

Students and young people should tune into the debate to learn more about issues that could affect them, she said.

“Typically, student and people in the college student age bracket don’t participate

in midterm elections,” she said. “It should be interesting to them because we are sending this person to Washington who will affect the state and people across the country.”

Maryanne Reed, dean of the WVU School of Journalism, will serve as the debate’s moderator. Reed said she will be a “traffic cop” to introduce the candidates, direct the questions and make sure answers are given in the time allotted.

The candidates will discuss

the economy, health care and the environment, she said.

Reed is happy with the partnership between the AP and the SOJ because it keeps with WVU’s land grant mission of serving the community.

“I think it’s a tremendous Joe Manchin honor to be cosponsoring this event. It’s a major journalism event statewide, and it also has national interest in the story,” she said. “It’s a real honor and a real testament to

Diversity Week highlights different cultures of WVU by sarah o’rourke staff writer

West Virginia University kicks off its annual Diversity Week celebration tomorrow with this year’s theme being “Celebrating Diversity WVU Style.”

The University, the President’s Office for Social Justice and several student organizations will work together to hold cultural activities all this weekend and next week.

Saturday will be the 2010 Diwali celebration beginning at 5 p.m. in Hatfields and the International Student Organization’s Mini World Cup soccer finale will be Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on the Mountainlair Green.

The International Festival will be on Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., which is an opportunity for students to experience and learn about the different cultures represented at WVU, said Grace Atebe, assistant director of the Office of International Students and Scholars.

“The International Festival gives students a chance to see what life is like in other cultures and lets international

students share their customs and traditions with domestic students,” she said.

The Festival will attract elementary students from all over West Virginia and the Pittsburgh area, Atebe said.

Throughout the day, international students from Europe, Africa and Asia will showcase their culture and offer information to attendants, she said.

There will also be a fashion show featuring different attires of the varying cultures as well as song and dance, Atebe said.

“Even if we are all different cultures or from different countries and regions or a different religion or color we can still all get together and make good,” said Ahmad Alashi, Student Government Association governor whose platform is international issues.

Alashi would like the Festival to be an “International Day” for all of WVU. Music from different cultures will play in the Mountainlair, facts on those cultures will be displayed on the information screens and students are encouraged to wear attire representing their

culture, he said.

“I want the Festival to be an International Day,” Alashi said. “One day that everyone who is international, ethnic or has color can celebrate.”

The day provides students a chance to better understand the culture and heritage of WVU’s international students, he said.

“It lets the international students return to their roots and go back to their culture and not forget it while they are away from home,” Alashi said. “Being an international student, you are always getting information and then giving it away in return.”

In addition, he hopes the Festival will help to eliminate stereotypes of different cultures that exist today.

“This day has always been a big deal for me and other international students,” Alashi said. “Once we make these relationships with international and American students we can make one path and one WVU.” For the full list of activities, visit http://socialjustice.wvu. edu/diversity_week_2010. sarah.o’rourke@mail.wvu.edu

Univ. student organization receives national award for community service by tim saar correspondent

West Virginia University’s chapter of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars was awarded Gold STAR status at the NSCS Leadership Summit – the highest honor available for them at the time.

The organization earned the award through doing many service activities, said Hilah Zia, a senior marketing major who serves as the chapter’s president.

“We mainly help with doing a lot of service activities,” she said. “We give more back to the community ... just a lot of small service activities.”

Some of the service activities NSCS is involved in include dinners at the Ronald McDonald House, tutoring the Boys and Girls Club and participating in the Trunk or Treat Halloween event for local chil-

dren every October, Zia said.

To achieve Gold STAR status, the chapter had to complete a checklist of requirements, such as filling all officer positions, having a full induction ceremony and participating in service activities, she said.

“It’s a wide range of activities but we have to do more than 90 percent to qualify for Gold,” Zia said.

Achieving Gold STAR status is a way for members to recognize what is important to the organization, said Emily Viglianco, a junior human nutrition and foods major and the chapter’s secretary.

“It’s a way for us to know that what we’re doing is on the right track,” Viglianco said.

“That we know we’re being involved and that we know we’re doing all that we can to give the kids in the club the best opportunity.”

The chapter will also receive a $250 Chapter Scholarship in addition to having a letter sent to University President James P. Clements commemorating their achievement, said Janine Deegan, a representative of NSCS, in an e-mail.

The achievement is a huge honor, Zia said, and the group is now eligible to earn Platinum status.

To attain Platinum status, the organization would have to attend the national convention in Puerto Rico this year and do more community service before applying, Viglianco said.

“It’s a very prestigious award that only five or six chapters got last year,” Zia said. “It’s a whole production of everything you’ve accomplished as a chapter throughout the school year.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

“Usually, I am the student voice, and I go alone to these meetings and speak on their behalf,” Lewallen said. “But if I have numbers and percentages and information from the students who take the survey to present at the meeting, it makes the student body look a lot better and makes our input more effective.”

the survey.

“It will only take two to three minutes,” he said. “This is very important, and we have wanted this for a very long time. This is going to be the Student Health Center for generations and generations of Mountaineers to come.”

Peters said the survey was composed of the information students provided during a Health and Wellness student forum earlier this month.

All of the input students provided during the forum was incorporated into the survey, she said.

Peters said the question on the survey regarding how students feel about mandatory health insurance is very important.

“It’s important that we

asked this because students come here they aren’t asked whether or not they have insurance,” she said.

As of Wednesday night, Peters said 83 percent of students said he or she had health insurance according to the survey.

Peters said results like this would cut costs tremendously because it won’t be the students being billed for health insurance costs, it will be the insurance companies.

The new Student Health Center will have to follow the national policy when putting health insurance policies into the facility, she added.

Stricter dust limits proposed in mines CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Federal regulators proposed tougher limits Thursday on coal dust exposure to better protect the nation’s 73,000 coal miners from chronic lung disease.

The change is part of regulations the Mine Safety and Health Administration is proposing in hopes of eliminating black lung disease, director Joe Main told reporters during a teleconference.

The agency plans to hold public hearings and take comments before adopting final rules, a process that typically takes a year or more.

Black lung is caused by inhaling dust and has plagued coal mining for generations. Government researchers blame the chronic disease for the deaths of

more than 10,000 coal miners in the past decade.

While the number of new cases have decreased, regulators have found evidence in recent years that suggests it’s making a comeback among younger miners under current regulations.

“We are finding an increase,” Main said.

“The only logical conclusion that you can make is we need to change.”

The changes would cut existing limits for breathable coal mine dust in half.

It also would require miners working in the dustiest areas of mines to wear devices to continually measure dust levels and warn them if they exceed regulatory limits.

Currently, dust is measured

using filters that require a week or more to read in a lab.

“It gives miners the opportunity, if they’re in dusty locations, to actually move around,” Main said.

MSHA also wants to increase the amount of time dust levels are measured and add breathing tests to medical checkups that already include chest X-rays.

The United Mine Workers union praised the proposal, calling it potentially a “tremendous step forward” for the health of miners.

“We have long known that the only way to prevent black lung is to reduce miners’ exposure to respirable coal dust.

We have the technology and the means to do that,” President Cecil Roberts said.

GOP fires ad biz over hick flap in Sen. race CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A Republican production firm was behind a casting call that sought actors who looked like hicks to portray West Virginians in a U.S. Senate race ad, an email released Thursday shows.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee said it has fired Jamestown Associates and apologized for earlier blaming an outside casting firm for the flap.

The ad, filmed in Philadelphia, showed men in flannel shirts and baseball caps worrying that if Democratic Gov. Joe Manchin was elected to the Senate, he would side with President Barack Obama.

With Obama considered unpopular here, it’s a theme the GOP has been hammering in the hard-fought race to replace

361 High Street

the late Democratic U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd.

“We are going for a ‘Hicky’ blue collar look,” the casting call said. “These characters are from West Virginia so think coal miner/trucker looks.”

Manchin’s campaign and Democrats quickly seized on that language, and the filming location, to make the ad an issue.

The NRSC pulled the ad earlier than scheduled last week while blaming the outside firm, Kathy Wickline Casting, for the casting call. A lawyer for that firm released the e-mail showing the call’s language came from Jamestown.

Among other details, Jamestown’s e-mail suggested actors wear trucker or “John Deer” hats that are “not brand new,

preferably beat up,” as well as “Dickies type jacket with T-shirt underneath.”

Kathy Wickline copied the email’s language into what it sent the ad’s actors. Jamestown said in a Thursday statement that the language was meant as a private communication with the outside firm.

“We apologize for any embarrassment this may have caused to any of the parties and have resigned from the account,” Jamestown’s statement said.

But NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh said the committee fired Jamestown.

“When originally confronted last week, they flatly denied having anything to do with the unacceptable language and we took them at their word,” Walsh said in a statement. “The NRSC will have no further dealings, now or ever, with Jamestown Associates, but they were our vendor and we take responsibility for this unfortunate matter.”

Manchin’s campaign did not immediately comment Thursday. He is running along with two minor party candidates and Republican nominee John Raese, whose campaign called the ad “ridiculous” when it aired last week.

Musical ‘Oklahoma!’ to debut at CAC by jesse tabit a&e writer

Morgantown will get a taste of the old west when the Broadway musical “Oklahoma!” debuts at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center Saturday.

Paul Saylor, who plays Curly, the lead role in the production, said he is looking forward to bringing the production to the area.

“It’s always exciting to bring the show to a new place,” Saylor said.

The play is set in 1906 in the territory that is soon to become Oklahoma. The story revolves around several romances, including one between cowboy Curly McLain and farm girl Laurey Williams.

These romances are threatened, however, when an evil rancher interferes.

The musical is based on the 1931 play “Green Grow the Li-

lacs” by Lynn Riggs and will feature the songs “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” “People Say We’re In Love” and “Oklahoma.”

“Oklahoma!” is the first musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II and originally debuted in 1943.

The songwriting duo, commonly known as Rodgers and Hammerstein, became popular in the 1940s and 1950s, and are responsible for classics like “The Sound of Music” and “The King and I.” Though the play has been onstage for decades, Saylor said younger audiences are still able to find humor in the production.

“The music is legendary and there are a lot of different things for different crowds,” Saylor said. “It is a show people can come and enjoy.”

The musical features a variety of drama, including love triangles, one-night stands

and conflicts between farmers and cowboys.

Alison Daly, public relations specialist for WVU Arts and Entertainment, said the show has been selling well, but there are still plenty of tickets left.

“We are absolutely encouraging people to come out and see a timeless musical,” Daly said.

Daly added that it’s nice when a production like this comes to town and is affordable and convenient.

Tickets are $27 for students and range between $40 and $50, depending on seat location, for general admission.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m.

“It has something special and will continue to be relevant for years to come,” Saylor said. “I am inviting people of all ages to come and enjoy “Oklahoma!” jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu

123 celebrates 12th anniversary by derek rudolph a&e writer

123 Pleasant Street is celebrating its 12th anniversary tonight with music from Young Reptiles, Wild Wild Geese, Bonfire and ’85 Flood.

The music venue was bought, refurbished and reopened in 2000 by owner Louis Giuliani, who was a patron of the venue and had been buying property in town at the time.

Giuliani said it was a place for friends to gather and play music and it provided an opportunity to get the music community back together.

Since its reopening, the venue has featured shows for

local and national acts including Fugazi, The White Stripes, the Avett Brothers, Lucero, Girl Talk, Gang Gang Dance, Turbo Fruits and Built to Spill.

123 Pleasant Street was known as “the Underground Railroad” during the ’80s, and later as the “Nyabinghi Dance Hall” during the ’90s. The bar eventually closed down and needed to be refurbished.

Local band ’85 Flood will headline the four-band birthday celebration tonight with its country-fried take on rock.

“It did fall into disrepair, and it was dangerous,” said 85 Flood singer/guitarist Aaron Hawley. “There were wires coming out of the wall.”

Hawley said he appreciates

the opportunities the venue has offered to local music fans over the years.

“An art space is really what it is,” Hawley said. “How cool is it being able to see Built to Spill in your town without having to go to Pittsburgh and deal with all that crap?”

123 Pleasant Street has survived as the most consistent professional venue in Morgantown that plays many different genres of original music.

“It has always been your staple music venue and a sure fire watering hole for a lot of locals, as well,” Giuliani said.

The event begins at 10 p.m.

Tickets are $5 at the door.

Annual Halloween attraction Fright Farm, located at Rich Farms in Smithfield, Pa., will debut its 2010 theme, “The Outbreak,” throughout October.

The theme is centered around a virus which turns humans into flesh-eating zombies.

Co-owner Mike Rich, who has been creating the attraction for 21 years now with his two brothers, said he has stepped up the special effects with this year’s production.

“We’re much higher tech this year and I think it’s really impressive,” Rich said. “The house has now been turned into this big studio with special air, lighting and music systems, and we’ve been able to create just about anything our imagination leads us to.”

New additions to this year’s haunted attraction include a 3D movie theater and laser tunnels.

Though Rich said each theme is different, having hosted the production since 1990, some original aspects stay consistent.

“We work hard to create at least five original scenes that are different from anything we’ve done before,” Rich said.

“But there are always traditional haunted house pieces like graveyards and mausoleums.”

Rich said there is one aspect of his production that never changes: suspense. And the family takes pride in this signature surprise.

“We really like the suspense of our maze. You never know what is going to happen,” Rich said. “We always have these elements of horror and shock and these variables are what stay consistent as the years go

by. That feeling there’s something behind you as you walk through. We like to trick you.”

Attention to detail is something the Rich family also takes pride in, which makes their event stand out from other haunted houses.

“We only use professional makeup artists and facial prosthetics,” Rich said. “We don’t like to use masks, I think that’s cheap. We’re proud to say we try to maximize our abilities and try to stay away from using any corny props.”

Spending about five months a year preparing for the event, the Rich brothers are grateful for the attention their production has gained over the years and hope to continue to entertain.

“It feels great to get positive feedback and be a sort of

Students should watch US Senate forum online Members of the University community should take the opportunity to watch the upcoming Senate forum online to learn more about the candidates.

The forum will consist of Democratic candidate Gov. Joe Manchin and Republican candidate John Raese, Mountain Party candidate Jesse Johnson and Constitution Party candidate Jeff Becker.

West Virginia Public Broadcasting will host the affair at its Morgantown studio, with the

West Virginia University Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism streaming the event live on its website, and it will be uploaded to YouTube immediately after.

Moderators include John Hingsbergen of West Virginia Public Broadcasting, Lawrence Messina of the Associated Press, and Mike Myer of The Wheeling Intelligencer.

The Daily Athenaeum will be represented as well. The event will be moderated by Maryanne Reed, WVU Perley Isaac Reed

School of Journalism dean.

However, it will be closed the public and will be limited to one-hour question and answer format.

The candidates will not be allowed to ask direct questions to one another, limiting the effectiveness of the debate.

Obviously, this was the only way to get all four candidates on board. Although it’s unlikely that either Johnson or Becker would raise many objections about any format.

Unfortunately, one hour is simply not enough time for four candidates to get their respective messages across.

Especially when we know too little about the current candidates.

Raese, for example, has done little more than campaign against the relationship between President Barack Obama and Manchin.

Manchin himself has seemingly reversed positions on those issues on which he was

previously in agreement with regarding the national Democratic party.

Johnson and Becker, frankly, will just be in the way.

The voters need more information in order to make an informed decision regarding such an important position.

While in limited time and scale, watching the discussion will be one way to become more informed.

Negative campaign ads have backfired for Republican Raese jeremiah yates columnist

During any election, campaign ads are aimed at the opposing side’s weaknesses. Politicians will relentlessly bash one another in hopes to destroy credibility, regardless if it is in bad taste.

This is the ugly side of politics – the blame game. It’s just a bunch of childish hesaid, she-said garbage that shouldn’t affect the opinion of most voters.

Proof came during the 2008 presidential election.

Barack Obama’s campaign stood strong without maintaining a negative approach.

He told the nation what they needed and promised he’d deliver.

Whether he has or not is

another debate. Regardless, his campaign was flawless and didn’t rely on slanderous television ads, like most politicians.

No matter which party is represented in a given political advertisement, the only thing that should matter is what they are going to do for the voters.

It is true that in order to have a prominent future, the past needs to be examined.

And rotten public officials need to be thrown in the light of the media.

But the messages in most political campaigns seldom address issues at hand, and the millions of dollars spent in campaigning are used to talk about the other guy.

When disgust for these putrid ad campaigns reaches a breaking point, campaign karma finally hits.

Recently, a negative campaign ad paid for by the National Republican Senatorial

Committee aired support for Republican candidate John Raese for West Virginia’s senate seat.

The ad not only put down his opposition, Democrat Gov. Joe Manchin, but the voters as well.

The ad depicted a small group of blue-collar men sitting around a table in a diner, talking about Manchin being a “rubber stamp for Obama.”

But when the casting calls were leaked to the public, it showed the talent agency searched for the typical West Virginia stereotypes. The end result felt like a slap in the face to residential mountaineers.

In the NRSC ad, the producer wanted to go for a “‘Hicky’ Blue Collar look.” The casting call continued, “These characters are from West Virginia so think coal miner/ trucker looks.”

Politico also reported that as far as wardrobe, potential

cast members should wear “jeans, work boots, flannel shirt, denim shirt, Dickie’s type jacket with t-shirt underneath down-filled vest, John Deer (sic) hats (not brand new, preferably beat up), trucker hats (not brand new, preferably beat up).”

Manchin’s campaign fired back, using the ad to his benefit.

“John Raese and his special interest friends have insulted the people of West Virginia and need to immediately apologize,” Manchin said in a statement.

“Not only have they been spending millions to try and buy this election with lies and distortions, we can now see once and for all what he and his friends really think of West Virginia and our people.”

He went on further to bash his opponent’s disregard for the common man.

“It’s offensive, and it only

proves that John Raese has spent too much time in the state of Florida, living in his Palm Beach mansion, and doesn’t know, understand or respect the great people of this state and what we stand for.”

Raese owns multiple homes around the country, and his wife resides in their $2.9 million home in Florida.

According to Florida’s Tax Collector’s Office for Palm Beach County, Raese receives a $50,000 tax exemption which is only available to permanent residents.

The only reason Raese keeps his residency in West Virginia, in many voters’ opinions, is that he thinks he has the best chance to win a Senate race here, not because he respects the state.

The recent attention of this campaign ad supports that theory. If Raese and the NRSC respected voters in the Mountain State, they would have

filmed the ad in West Virginia with real West Virginians.

To their defense, neither Raese nor the NRSC wrote the casting call. It was the talent agency that produced the advertisement. But only the ignorant would believe the NRSC would have never pulled the ad if the attention would have been positive instead of negative.

But it’s good to see a negative campaign plummet. After Raese had taken a lead, Rasmussen and CNN polls show the two in a virtual dead heat, and the NRSC’s negative ad is probably the cause.

If Raese would let the voters know why they should vote for him instead of why not to vote for “Rubber Stamp Joe,” he could get a vote from my corner.

But then again, I want a senator who loves West Virginia, not one who has his family in Florida.

Chad wilcox/the daily athenaeum

An ironic GOP sign on University Avenue reminds voters that Obama wants everyone to ‘Vote Democrat’ in the upcoming midterm elections.

Choose to vote for yourself in the upcoming midterm elections CHad wilcox columnist

Throughout my growth as a voter, I have noticed most of my peers and many of my elders do not have a well-defined rationale for the electoral choices they make.

Their choices seem to feature little analysis, few issuebased reasons and only superficial qualification.

I am not one of these voters. I know exactly why I vote the way I do.

It’s especially important to know why you vote now, when no career politicians seem to have any real answers to an ever-growing list of problems.

We can find the answers in ourselves, and by thinking about those answers, change the downward spiral America is taking.

It’s our God-given right as American citizens to decide who we vote for after we realize

DA

how a candidate makes us feel based on someone else’s account, but before we consider the issues in isolation and in context.

What are the chances that what a person has done, what he looks like, what he believes or where he comes from has no bearing on the decisions he makes as an elected representative?

If he’s anything like me, then those chances are slim. I like people like me, and I like them to make decisions the way I do.

Why, then, should the person making decisions that affect me be better than me?

For that matter, why should he be any different from me? A candidate should be as close to me, without being me, as rhetoric and public relations will allow.

That means I don’t want anyone who makes less than $40,000 a year or anyone who makes more than $100,000 a year to be my voice in these hard economic times.

That means I want someone

educated enough to read the Bible – but not too educated to doubt its importance in politics – to tackle our broken educational system.

There is certainly nothing that a “career politician,” someone who has borne civic responsibility and been involved in high-level, complex decision-making for years or even decades, can know or do better than someone with little or no experience, but who is not afraid to say what he or she thinks, in very general terms, about an issue.

Washington’s distance from the average American is not helping anyone.

I will admit, my American history is a bit rusty, so I cannot honestly tell you how we became the dilapidated quasiwelfare state indebted to China and overrun by Islamic radicals and immigrants that we are.

But for my generation, and even the one before it, the past has nothing to do with the present. And why should

it? The only history we need to know is what happened today on Fox News and what we think might have happened in 1776.

Instead, inspired by future leaders like us, we have come to blame one political party, and conveniently, one person with a scary foreign-sounding name who leads them presently in D.C. Things are looking up for conscious voters who feel alienated by issue-based politics.

If you haven’t heard, West Virginia has just been classified as a “Republican-leaning” state. This is according to a Fox News poll. What source is more trustworthy to identify friend from foe when it comes to the hopes of America?

It’s a good thing, too, because conservatives know how much I hate being told what to do by government folk, especially by people for whom I harbor a deep distrust – a distrust of abuse of the Constitution, of course.

That’s why when I see a black sign quoting Obama ordering me to “vote Democrat,” my gut reaction is to do the opposite.

This midterm season is exciting because there are so many candidates in so many states, including this one, who have figured out how to appeal to what matters to us everyday Americans the most: hatred for things different from us and fear of what we do not understand.

That’s also why I will be voting in West Virginia for pure American Young Guns like Spike Maynard, who not only has a cool name that I like saying, but also realizes how intimidating non-Christians (or at least those with non-Christian friends) could be in positions of power.

In this state, few things are more important than not being different from what we are used to.

Elsewhere, we are being heard and felt: Candidates like Sharron Angle tap into our xe-

nophobia, candidates like Carl Paladino tap into our homophobia, and candidates like Christine O’Donnell tap into our sesquipedalophobia.

Thank goodness for the rise of grassroots populist politics, perfected in the Tea Party, which has allowed us to transform the irrationality of our fears and ignorance into respected political discourse and anonymously funded attack ads, so that we can prevent other Americans from repeating the same mistake of moving forward.

As an average American, I don’t know everything.

But I do know what people who aren’t like me know: nothing.

It would only be appropriate, then, to use what we have learned this mid-term to unite Tea Partiers and sensible conservatives under one banner in the next presidential race, a banner titled to mock the opposition: the Know-Nothings.

Do yourself, and the rest of Americans like you, a favor this midterm and vote for yourself.

Author J.K. Rowling goes to Live episode of ‘30 Rock’ does the series justice, showcases cast’s talent court for plagiarism accusations LONDON (AP) — A British judge refused to dismiss a plagiarism lawsuit against “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling on Thursday, saying claims that the best-selling author stole ideas from an obscure fantasy book should be considered at a proper hearing.

Rowling and her publishers, Bloomsbury, had applied to court for the case to be immediately dismissed, saying the copyright infringement claims brought by the estate of the late author Adrian Jacobs had no real chance of succeeding.

But Justice David Kitchin ruled that the claims had a chance of success – although he described this as being “improbable.”

The lawsuit alleges that Rowling’s book “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” copied substantial parts of

The cast of the NBC series ‘30 Rock’ is pictured above.

by james carbone campus calender editor

Tina Fey’s sitcom“30 Rock” has always been one of those “out there” TV shows, with its bizarre pop-culture references, celebrity guest stars and meta humor, born out of Fey’s years of working on “Saturday Night Live.”

So, it makes perfect sense for NBC’s cult comedy to do a live episode.

The episode keeps up the season’s storyline of Jack (Alec Baldwin) preparing to be a father, reaching the agreement with his baby’s momma to give up his addiction to alcohol.

Meanwhile, Liz Lemon (Fey) has turned 40 and nobody in the work place knows because Jack’s assistant Jonathan (Maulik Pancholy) purposefully left it off of the birthday memo.

Hilarious antics ensue as Jack is looking for an alcohol fix, while Liz hopes that just one person was able to remember her birthday on their own.

Through the use of a live audience, numerous guest

appearances and commercial skits placed throughout the episode, it felt like a miniature episode of SNL. Guest stars included Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jon Hamm as his recurring character Dr. Drew Bayer and Matt Damon as Liz’s current love interest, Carol.

Aside from former cast members Fey and Tracy Morgan and frequent SNL host Baldwin, the episode featured appearances by SNL alum Chris Parnell, Bill Hader and Rachel Dratch, who, initially meant to be a cast member of “30 Rock,” hasn’t appeared on the show since 2007.

However, those in the cast who aren’t used to live television were also able to hold their own, with stars Jane Krakowski, Scott Adsit and Jack McBrayer sticking to the script and avoiding any notable mistakes.

The live show also allowed the series to be more topical, with jokes from the Chilean miners to “Jersey Shore.”

The show also featured a large amount of meta humor, such as sets falling apart at planned moments and frequent references to breaking character.

The skits featured were

shown as commercials for the fictional show “The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan” and were some of the most enjoyable parts of the episode as characters pitched ridiculous products and causes.

All in all, the episode was a hit, if not for one thing; the audience.

Frequently jokes would go unheard or skipped because the audience was too busy laughing.

I’m not complaining about the laughing, just that it interfered with the show’s pace.

It was almost like a laugh track was forced upon them, and I get that it is an integral part of a live show, but here it seemed to hurt more than help.

However, this is only a review for this time zone’s show, as the “30 Rock” cast will be doing a performance for the West coast, as well, both of which will be put online for fans to enjoy.

It’s understandable to miss this episode for football, but there is no reason to not watch it later.

If Fey and gang decide to do another live episode, it’ll be as great as this one. james.carbone@mail.wvu.edu

LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!

Jacobs’ 1987 book, “The Adventures of Willy the Wizard – No. 1 Livid Land.”

Jacobs’ estate also claims that many other ideas and plot aspects from the 16-page volume were copied into the “Harry Potter” books. Jacobs died in London in 1997.

Rowling has called the claims unfounded and absurd, saying she only learned of the book in 2004.

She has also said the idea for the “Harry Potter” series first came to her in 1990 during a train journey.

The seven Harry Potter books have sold more than 400 million copies and spawned a hit movie franchise and a theme park.

Forbes magazine has ranked Rowling as one of the richest women in Britain, with an estimated wealth of $1 billion.

A one-day hearing will be

scheduled to consider the case, Kitchin said. He ordered that Paul Allen, the trustee of Jacob’s estate, pay money into court as security for the costs of the case.

A lawyer representing Allen said he was delighted that the case can go forward.

“If the claim does proceed, then J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury will be required to explain how the similarities between the two works came about, when to date there has been a refusal to disclose key manuscripts and notebooks,” said Allen’s lawyer Nick Kounoupias.

Rowling has hinted that she may yet write another novel in her popular series.

In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, she said the characters are still in her head and she “could definitely” write several new books about them.

New York mosque argument on ‘The View’ Thursday leads to walk-off

Co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, left, and Joy Behar pose on the set of their daytime talk show, ‘The View,’ in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walked off the stage of “The View” Thursday during an argument with Bill O’Reilly over the proposed Islamic center near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks.

The women objected to the Fox News Channel host saying that “Muslims killed us on 9/11.” They returned after an O’Reilly apology.

The fireworks came amid a heated argument on the issue.

“Listen to me,” O’Reilly said, “because you’ll learn something.”

“Pinhead!” retorted Behar, who also hosts a prime-time show on HLN. O’Reilly, who was on the popular daytime talk show to promote his book “Pinheads and Patriots: Where You Stand in the Age of Obama,”

said locating the Islamic Center near ground zero is inappropriate “because Muslims killed us on 9/11.”

Goldberg responded with an expletive and Behar rose from her seat.

“I don’t want to sit here,” Behar said. “I don’t. I’m outraged by that statement.”

She walked off the set, followed by Goldberg.

The show’s creator, Barbara Walters, immediately said her colleagues were wrong to walk off.

“We should be able to have discussions without washing our hands and screaming and walking offstage,” she said.

But she also scolded O’Reilly, saying that it was extremists who committed the terrorist act. “You cannot take a whole religion and demean them,” she said.

ap

“I’m not demeaning anybody,” O’Reilly said.

“Yes,” Walters replied. “You are.”

After some more backand-forth, O’Reilly said that “if anybody felt that I was demeaning all Muslims, I apologize.”

Behar and Goldberg returned, with Behar saying, “We’re back now because you apologized.”

The 16-story Islamic center and mosque is planned for lower Manhattan, two blocks north of where the World Trade Center once stood.

Critics say the location denigrates the memory of those who died on Sept. 11, 2001.

Proponents say planners have a constitutional right to build and see the project as a reflection of religious freedom and diversity.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, many opportunities evolve, pointing to a new direction. This transformation could involve your daily life. You have many interests; you might decide to make one of them a business. You have a tendency to overeat and go to extremes.

Take good care of yourself. If you are single, several people could light up your life. Get to know each person better before deciding that anyone is right! If you are attached, the two of you could share a new pastime or interest, drawing you closer. AQUARIUS always whips up the fun.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Whether it is the knowledge that the weekend is heading in or a change in the planets, you don’t care. You feel empowered. Dot your i’s and cross your t’s before you leave work. Gather with others and christen this weekend. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You certainly will need to focus on the here and now. Others want your remedies and solutions. Please share them, as they do make a difference.

Tonight: Not feeling as carefree as you might like.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Pull back in order to gain a complete perspective. Not everyone thinks in terms like you. The broader your outlook and the more empathy you express the more likely you will find an agreement. Tonight: Opt for the unusual.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You might want to relate to a key associate directly but can’t. Work on the basic issues. Be a better listener, and absorb new information with care. Listen to what is being shared. Tonight: Oneon-one time.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Be an efficiency expert and get as much done as possible early on. You will want to be more innovative and dynamic in your choices. Positively greet a partner’s sometimes odd ideas. Clear out as much work as possible. Tonight: Let your hair down. It has been a very wild week.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Others challenge you but might not intend to upset you. Use their input more positively than in the past. You’ll see a matter very differently if you do, and allow for an unusual resolution.

Tonight: Relax in your favorite manner.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You could feel swamped by an overwhelming amount of requests. You might not want to handle a personal matter as you have in the past. Let go and flow.

Lose your judgments for a day. Tonight: Finally, time to be yourself.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Accomplishment demands unusual creativity and answers. You come up with many ideas, which head in from out of left field. Be willing to test them out on others. A new love interest or child could be overwhelming. Tonight: Head on home.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH You know what others need. The choice is just how much you want or need to help them. Be aware of what is going on here. A family member can be quite alluring, but do you want to get involved? Tonight: Others are happy to find you.

C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH You smile and come out ahead of the game. You know what is needed. Though you can be quite assertive and direct, you also are capable of a mini-revolution if need be.

In your head, you justify this behavior with “you gotta do what you gotta do.”

Tonight: On top of your game.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Rest assured that there are many different approaches to a money matter.

The smart move is to weigh the pros and cons. Could you be too optimistic about one set of options? Tonight: You will know exactly what to do. Have fun!

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH You could be slightly overwhelmed by an opportunity. You could try to push someone to do something your way.

Know what you want before creating a lot of uproar. You are all smiles during the day. Tonight: Do only what you want.

USF’s Daniels had no chance vs. WVU ‘D’

West Virginia saw a different B.J. Daniels than it saw on tape from this season. South Florida’s dual-threat quarterback truly tried to use both his arms and legs against the Mountaineers Thursday night.

The WVU defense would have neither.

The Mountaineers shut down Daniels in a 20-6 win over South Florida.

West Virginia held Daniels to 119 yards through the air and forced three interceptions. He was sacked four times – twice by starting outside linebacker Najee Goode – and only managed four rushing yards.

Earlier this season, South Florida had tried to build Daniels into head coach Skip Holtz and staff’s offensive system.

That meant less running and more pocket passing for the sophomore.

In doing so, Daniels’ effectiveness has been limited in the first five games of the season.

He has struggled with turnovers and inconsistency as he learned a new offense.

Prior to the game with West Virginia, Daniels was completing just 52.6 percent of his passes. He nearly had twice as many interceptions (seven) as he had touchdowns (four).

Those woes continued – and were at times made even worse – against West Virginia.

“The kids did a great job,” said defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel. “Going into it, they knew they had to control B.J. Daniels. If you look at last year’s game, he was the difference. The kids responded to that challenge.”

Last year against WVU, Daniels threw three touchdowns and rushed for 104 yards in a 30-19 win.

Third down and 1 with less than two minutes to go in the first half, USF called a quarterback run, and Daniels was hit two yards in the backfield – basically before he could get started – by linebacker Anthony Leonard.

On the next drive, the Mountaineers forced Daniels out of the pocket, but instead of running the ball, he decided to throw it down field. It would be a bad decision, as West Virginia’s starting junior safety Robert Sands stepped in front of the pass intended for receiver Evan Landi for an interception.

WVU’s offense would turn that turnover into a touchdown one play later – signaling the turning point in the game for the Mountaineers’ victory.

“This defense is really starting to gel, and I’m really proud of them,” said WVU head coach Bill Stewart.

The defense didn’t necessarily shutdown Daniels or the USF offense for that matter, but the Mountaineers were able to do the job when it called for a stop the most.

It looked like a WVU defense from years past that would allow yards through the middle of the field but not near the end zones. That was exactly what worked against the Bulls.

USF running back Mo Plancher got his yards – 63 on the ground to be exact – but there weren’t very many when it counted most.

When the USF offense neared the WVU red zone, the Mountaineers were spot on

Smith’s efficient outing leads West Virginia past South Florida, 20-6

By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer

The West Virginia football team has continually counted on quarterback Geno Smith this season.

Thursday against South Florida, some may have even said the sophomore had the Midas touch.

Smith completed 24-for-31 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns to lead West Vir-

ginia to a 20-6 win over USF in the Mountaineers’ Big East Conference opener in front of a Gold Rush crowd at Milan Puskar Stadium.

“For a sophomore youngster in his sixth start, he is really coming,” said WVU head coach Bill Stewart. “It’s going to be a lot of fun around here with him.”

WVU opened the game in a no-huddle offense that effectively moved the ball against

the Bulls’ defense. West Virginia moved the ball 70 yards, but had to settle for a 27-yard Tyler Bitancurt field goal to take a 3-0 lead just 4:45 into the game.

After a USF punt, the Mountaineers were again able to drive the ball on the Bulls as wide receiver Brad Starks capped an 80-yard drive with a 31-yard touchdown reception, the junior’s fourth touchdown in the past two games.

With WVU jumping out to a quick 10-0 lead – its first double digit lead against USF since 2005 – the Bulls returned the ensuing kickoff 55 yards to the Mountaineers’ 45 yard line.

Kicker Maikon Bonani put USF on the board for the first time with 13:38 remaining with a 36-yard field goal.

Action slowed as the second quarter progressed into a battle for field position, but safety Robert Sands turned the mo-

mentum in the Mountaineers favor as he intercepted a B.J. Daniels pass with 40 seconds remaining.

Sands returned the interception 28 yards to the Bulls’ 7-yard line.

“I just kept my eyes on the receiver, and he broke off his vertical route,” Sands said. “I just wanted to catch the ball this time – last year against Pitt

USF’s Daniels struggles in second meeting with WVU Mountaineers contain Bulls’ QB after strong 2009 performance

BY BRIAN GAWTHROP ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

B.J. Daniels and any other South Florida quarterback have had their way with the West Virginia defense in the past.

But the Mountaineers’ inability to stop a USF dualthreat quarterback was no problem Thursday.

Daniels, the Bulls’ sophomore signal caller, finished with 141 total yards, including just four rushing yards, as West Virginia claimed only its second win over South Florida since 2006.

“USF usually gives those (the WVU defense) a fight,” said WVU slot receiver Jock Sanders. “But our defense did a hell of a job. Basically, it was a defensive game, and it was our defense that showed up.”

Daniels’ 141 total yards was the least amount of total yards the Mountaineers have surrendered to a USF quarterback in the series that began in 2005, and only the second time WVU has kept the opposing USF signal caller under 240 total yards.

Last season, Daniels ran for 104 yards and passed for 232.

“The kids did a good job of keeping him in the pocket,”

said WVU defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel. “That’s the whole key. When you get a great athlete like that getting out on the perimeter with great athletes running routes, it’s hard to keep track of all of them. We weren’t able to do that last year.”

West Virginia also forced three Daniels interceptions.

Safety Robert Sands recorded the first pick with 40 seconds left in the first half. One play later, Geno Smith connected with Jock Sanders, who lateralled to Noel Devine for an 11-yard touchdown. The score gave WVU a 17-3 halftime lead, but not before Goode collected his second sack of Daniels to send the teams into the locker room.

Keith Tandy, who finished with a team-high 11 tackles, intercepted Daniels early in the fourth quarter for the cornerback’s third interception in the past two games.

Brantwon Bowser picked off Daniels again late in the fourth quarter. South Florida head coach Skip Holtz benched Daniels with one minute remaining in the game in favor of true freshman walkon Bobby Eveld.

Men’s basketball team will look different in ’10-11

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

The West Virginia men’s basketball team won’t look like it did during its Final Four run in the 2010-11 season.

The Mountaineers will be without some of the program’s greats – Da’Sean Butler, athletic defender Devin Ebanks and glue guy Wellington Smith.

“We don’t have as much experience as we did last year,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “But, I think we can be good. Guys that haven’t played much before are going to have to mature fast.”

Without three members from last season’s run to the Final Four, Huggins will have the task of turning this year’s roster into a team that will be successful in the ultra-competitive Big East Conference.

With those losses come lowered expectations from last year’s top 10 preseason ranking. He still feels comfortable with the team he has, and said the goal is still to win a national file photo championship.

“I like to be good. I like to West Virginia’s John Flowers jumps over three audience members for a dunk during last walk out there at half court beyear’s Mountaineer Madness at the WVU Coliseum.

MOUNTAINEER MADNESS

Where: Morgantown (WVU Coliseum) Autographs: West Virginia fans can have autographs signed by men’s and women’s basketball team members starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Green and Gold gates Events: Banners will be raised for the men’s basketball team’s Big East Championship and Final Four finish. The women’s basketball’s NCAA Tournament banner will be raised, as well. The men’s team will have a dunk contest and the women’s team will have a 3-point shooting contest.

fore the game and look at their players and say, ‘We better win.

We’ve got better guys,’” Huggins said. “It doesn’t always work that way, particularly in this league.”

Huggins said this year’s team will likely play quicker and bigger at the forward positions. He wants to be able to score more than his team did last year using a more effective transition game.

The Mountaineers’ fourthyear head coach expects forwards Dan Jennings and Deniz

Kilicli to play intricate roles for the team this year.

Huggins added he would like to use point guards Truck Bryant and Joe Mazzulla on the court at the same time. It’s the first time in Huggins’ tenure he has had two healthy point guards with the ability to contribute significant minutes.

“It will just takes a lot of pressure off of us,” Mazzulla said.

“We’ll both be relaxed out there this year.”

In any situation, the team will rely on forward Kevin Jones to replace the scoring loss of Butler. Jones is the team’s leading returning scorer. He averaged 13.5 points per game last season.

“He will probably get the ball in crucial situations a little bit more,” Huggins said. “He has to be careful to do what he is comfortable doing. That’s what he did last year.”

Huggins said it will be important to continue to rebound the ball – something the Mountaineers led the Big East in last year – and play effective defense.

“We just have to listen to Huggs and do what we have to,” Mazzulla said. “That’s what we

have to do. We defended and rebounded. Then, we hit shots when we needed to.”

The men’s and women’s basketball programs will open the 2010-11 seasons with Mountaineer Madness today Friday at the WVU Coliseum.

The festivities begin at 6:30 p.m. with an autograph session featuring selected men’s and women’s players at the Green and Gold gates. The on-court portion of the program will begin at 8:30 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Women’s coach Mike Carey and men’s coach Bob Huggins will each address the crowd as part of the raising of the women’s NCAA Tournament banner and the men’s Big East Championship and Final Four banners.

“That will be great. I’m sure I’ll get goose bumps,” Mazzulla said. “I’m just proud to be a part of it.”

The men’s team will compete in a slam dunk contest and the women’s team will showcase a 3-point challenge. The event will conclude with a WVU men’s team scrimmage. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia’s Geno Smith, right, leads the team onto the field before its game Thursday against South Florida.

I dropped the ball.”

On the ensuing play, Geno Smith connected with Jock Sanders on a bubble screen, who then found Noel Devine on a hook and ladder play for a 11-yard WVU touchdown and a 17-3 halftime lead.

“As the flow of the game went, we tried a lot of screen plays,” said West Virginia offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen. “It seemed like the perfect time to call that play.”

USF began to move the ball after halftime as running back Moise Plancher, who finished with a game-high 67 yards rushing, continually pounded the ball into WVU’s defensive front.

The Bulls’ first drive of the third quarter stalled at the Mountaineers’ 30-yard line, though, where Bonani delivered his second field goal of the game from 47 yards, cutting West Virginia’s lead to 17-6.

Power back Ryan Clarke’s services were called upon in WVU’s first possession of the third quarter as he picked up 19 yards on five carries in the drive. WVU capped the 14-play, 66-yard drive with a 24-yard Bitancurt field goal, extending the Mountaineers’ lead to 20-6.

On the scoring drive, the Mountaineers bled 6:50 off of the game clock.

With USF eyeing a comeback attempt, West Virginia’s defense suffocated the Bulls’ offense to finish off the game.

The Mountaineers allowed just 59 total yards in the fourth quarter and intercepted Daniels twice more to close out the game.

“If we score 20 or more points, I mark that down as a

victory in our book,” said WVU receiver Jock Sanders in praise of the defense. “They played their (butts) off.”

Tavon Austin led the Mountaineers’ offense with five receptions for 47 yards while Sanders finished with 10 receptions.

West Virginia slot receiver Jock Sanders balances himself during a run in WVU’s win over South Florida Thursday.

Daniels has now thrown nine interceptions compared to two touchdowns in the Bulls’ three games against teams from BCSbowl eligible conferences.

South Florida hasn’t scored a touchdown since its Oct. 2 game against Florida Atlantic.

“We put the ball in danger too many times,” first-year head coach Skip Holtz said. “If you turn the ball over, especially against a good team like (WVU), you’re going to have a hard time winning.”

Holtz’s plan in his first year with the Bulls was to nurture Daniels into more of a pocket passer. But Holtz and USF offensive coordinator Todd Fitch said they have tried to get Daniels loose in space in order for the sophomore to gain confidence.

Still, Daniels has rushed for just three yards in the Bulls’ past two games.

“We have to take a hard look at where we are, what we’re doing and who we’re doing

Daniels threw for 50 yards in the first half and rushed for just five yards.

West Virginia had out-gained South Florida 214-94 in total yards at the half Even during South Florida’s only scoring drive of the first half, which resulted in a 36-yard field goal from Maikon Bonani, the Bulls only gained 27 yards despite starting at the Moun-

He was confused and puzzled, and that’s what led to those field goal attempts instead of touchdowns.

West Virginia didn’t miss many tackles. In fact, the Mountaineers hit about every receiver in space and hit them hard. Daniels wasn’t able to use his speed and athleticism to get past them, either.

“We had a couple of mobile quarterbacks that we’ve faced this year, so that helped us prepare a lot,” said WVU cornerback Keith Tandy. “Last year,

taineers’ 45-yard line, thanks to a Lindsey Lamar 55-yard kickoff return.

The West Virginia defense, which entered the game ranked eighth nationally in total defense, has now just two touchdowns to opposing offenses in its last three games.

“When we score 20 points, I already know it’s a victory in the books,” Sanders said. “I salute our defense.” brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu

we got beat deep, so we wanted to come up and make the tackles this year. Teams can’t go down the field with 3-yard screens.”

West Virginia will face better quarterbacks down the road – specifically Cincinnati’s Zach Collaros and Rutgers’ Chas Dodd – but the Mountaineers’ defense proved tonight it can handle just about anything that is thrown at them.

USF threw a wrench in its offense and allowed Daniels some freedom Thursday.

Not only did the WVU defense sack Daniels, it sacked that wrench, too. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

WVU returns home in hopes of extending win streak Mountaineers to don custom pink jerseys Sunday

BY BRAD JOYAL SPORTS WRITER

To say the West Virginia women’s soccer team has come together at the right time may be an understatement.

Heading into their biggest test of the season – a fourgame road trip against conference opponents – the Mountaineers came out unscathed with a 4-0 record.

The team has won its last five games, the last two coming in 1-0 overtime victories at Syracuse and St. John’s.

Now, West Virginia returns home to close out its season, a luxury head coach Nikki IzzoBrown said the team needs to use to its advantage.

“We’re happy not to be traveling,” Izzo-Brown said. “Not having to travel and to return home to play in front of our crowd is huge. The home field advantage is huge for us and hopefully we have good support for the two games this weekend.”

The Mountaineers (9-4-1, 5-1-1 Big East) play host to Villanova Friday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium and Georgetown Sunday.

This weekend’s games will have a big impact in seeding for both the Big East Tournament and NCAA Tournament.

West Virginia has been striving through its stingy defensive efforts and strong play from senior goalkeeper Kerri Butler. Butler’s play has been vital for the team as of late, and she was named the Big East Goalkeeper of the Week

West Virginia (9-4-1, 5-1-1)

Villanova (6-9, 1-6)

When: Friday at 7 p.m.

Where: Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium

West Virginia (9-4-1, 5-1-1)

Georgetown (11-4, 5-2)

in the Big East the past two weeks.

Izzo-Brown wants the shutouts to continue, too, noting the strong play from Butler and the defense can help make it possible.

“Shutouts are huge,” IzzoBrown said. “We want to get four more shutouts this season, and it starts with the two games this weekend.”

West Virginia’s recent success has come from a variety of players, but none have been more important to the Mountaineers than senior Meghan Mischler.

Mischler scored the two game-winning goals in overtime of the Syracuse and St. John’s games, and has become the team’s biggest offensive threat.

The importance to improve each time the team hits the field is something Izzo-Brown has been stressing. With the postseason right around the corner, she wants her team to

be in the best position to win.

“We have certain things we want to focus on to get better,” Izzo-Brown said. “The important thing is to get better each practice and each game so we’re at our best come postseason time.”

Sunday’s game against Georgetown is Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Fans are encouraged to wear pink, and the Mountaineers will, too.

The team will be wearing custom Nike pink uniforms to help support the cause.

“This has been something we have been very loyal to over the last few years,” IzzoBrown said. “We’ve raised over $60,000 for the cause. We know it affects many women and it’s something we want to be involved with.”

There will also be free WVU student shuttle services for Sunday’s game for students at the Mountainlair and Towers.

The shuttles will begin at noon for the 1 p.m. game, and there will be a return service to both locations at the conclusion of the game.

Izzo-Brown is hopeful the crowd will come out for the Mountaineers this weekend, as she knows how meaningful the games will be down the road.

“These two wins would be huge for postseason play, seeding, confidence, everything,” Izzo-Brown said.

“We need four more wins, and it starts with two this weekend.” brad.joyal@mail.wvu.edu

Two of league’s top goalkeepers face off as No. 22 hosts WVU

by Michael Carvelli Sports Writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team is riding high coming off consecutive wins at home.

But now, the Mountaineers must return to the road for a Big East Conference matchup at No. 22 South Florida Saturday.

“I’m glad we got the three points (against Pittsburgh),” said West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “But now, we’re looking forward to hitting the road for another important game against another ranked team in South Florida.”

The Bulls, who haven’t lost a game since Sept. 24 against Connecticut, are on a hot streak themselves and are

West Virginia (7-3-2)

South Florida (7-2-3)

When: Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Where: USF Soccer Stadium WVU Coach: Marlon LeBlanc, 5th season (48-26-18) USF Coach: George Kiefer, 9th season (100-49-22) Coverage: Check Monday’s edition of the DA for a recap of the game.

coming off of a 1-0 win over DePaul Wednesday.

Saturday’s game will feature two of the best goalkeepers not only in the Big East, but the entire nation.

The Bulls will send out preseason all-Big East keeper and

Hermann Trophy Watch List candidate Jeff Attinella. The senior already has nine shutouts in the team’s 12 games and is allowing 0.55 goals per game.

He’ll be facing off against WVU’s Zach Johnson. Johnson is also piecing together an impressive resume. He’s just two shutouts away from tying Nick Noble’s record for the most career shutouts at West Virginia. “(Johnson) is one of the best goalkeepers in the country, and I don’t know if a lot of people realize it, or even recognize it,” 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.”

With two impressive de-

fenses and goalkeepers, it will be a tough task for either team to get a whole lot of offense going in the game.

Luckily for both coaches, their teams sport two of the most explosive offenses in the conference.

South Florida has scored 15 goals this year and are led by a pair of quality midfielders.

Redshirt junior Bernardo Anor leads the team with five goals and has two assists on the year, while senior Shawn Chin has scored four goals of his own.

After struggling to score goals last season, it seems West Virginia has found whatever it was that hindered the team in the past. WVU has scored 20 goals already this year.

Two sophomores, forward Peabo Doue and midfielder

Shadow Sebele, lead the way for the WVU offense.

Doue has five goals and three assists for the year, while Sebele has thrown in three goals and is tied with Uwem Etuk for the team lead in assists, with five.

Even though they’re coming off big wins over Pittsburgh and Notre Dame this week, the Mountaineers realize that the only game that matters now is the one against the Bulls.

“We’re looking forward to it,” said midfielder Ruben Garrido.

“We didn’t want to look past (Pitt), but now we got the result we wanted, we’re excited.

“We’ve got something to prove going on the road in these big games.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Rebel Bear named Ole Miss mascot OXFORD, Miss. (AP)—After all that, it’s a bear.

It has been more than a decade since the University of Mississippi began stripping away its images of the Old South.

Confederate battle flags were first to go.

Next was mascot “Colonel Reb,” the goateed Southern planter who cheered on the Rebels from the sidelines since 1979.

After seven years and plenty of bickering, his successor was named Thursday: “Rebel Black Bear” won 62 percent of the vote in a final poll and will become the new face of the school’s athletic programs.

Tradition dies hard in Oxford, where tens of thousands of fans turn out in ties and sundresses on fall Saturdays for elaborate tailgate parties in “The Grove” before football games. An unofficial motto is: “We may lose a game, but we never lose a party.”

Picking a replacement became a matter of statewide import and the subject of online pranks, like the suggestion of a “rebel” from the Star Wars movies, Admiral Ackbar.

In the end, the smiling black bear inspired in part by longtime Oxford resident William Faulkner won out, defeating two other nominees. One was the “Rebel Land Shark,” based on the “fins up” hand motion started by late football player Tony Fein.

The other was “Hotty Toddy,” a gray human-like character that aimed to personify a school cheer.

“I know there was a lot of people emotionally invested in Colonel Reb and everybody might not completely agree with the bear, but I think everyone can be proud of how our students went about the process,” said Sparky Reardon, the university’s dean of students.

Margaret Ann Morgan, a cochairman of the student mascot selection committee, said the bear was recommended because it had a Mississippi connection, would appeal to children and would be unique to the Southeastern Conference.

Ty New, the other committee chairman, said everyone in the university’s community –including faculty, students, alumni and season ticketholders – had a say. More than 13,000 eligible voters voted in the final poll.

“The fact that we were completely transparent through the process makes this a credible choice,” New said in a news release.

Some of the colonel’s faithful staged protests earlier this year and attempted to derail the search for a new mascot in the last few weeks by gathering signatures to make Colonel Reb one of the choices.
