Homecoming king, queen not certified BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR

The Homecoming king and queen election results at West Virginia University have yet to be certified due to multiple violations filed against the 10 candidates. Although there were 2,508 votes for king and 2,586 votes for queen, the elections cannot be approved until all violations are reviewed by the Judicial Board, the SGA judical branch that certifies elections, said Tasha Frazie, Stu-

dent Government Association elections chair. Omar Wazir, Homecoming king, won by 400 votes, and Tracy Speilman, Homecoming queen, won by 319 votes. Monday was the deadline for all elections violations, Frazie said, to review multiple violations. At the Judicial Board’s meeting Sunday, it dismissed a complaint of a racially discriminating campaign slogan against Taylor Richmond because the form was not filled out correctly, Frazie said.

FOR MORE INFORMATION For voting breakdowns, see The Daily Athenaeum page 2. Judicial Board Chair James Bailey said the complaint was filed anonymously early last week. “To have an effective complaint, you’re supposed to fill out every field on the form,” Bailey said. “The complaint against (Richmond) did not list a complainer, it just said

‘N/A.’” Richmond and Melissa Moraes, who campaigned together, used the slogan, “Run and Tell, Vote Taylor and Mel,” after a popular YouTube news clip. The basis of their slogan was a news clip about an attempted sexual assault. It was made into a parody by “Auto– Tune the News,” titled the “Bed Intruder Song.” The image of Antoine Dodson, an African American resident of Chicago, who was interviewed after his sister’s

attempted sexual assault, also appeared on Richmond and Moraes’ T-shirts. According to the complaint, the slogan and T-shirt design were racially discriminating, Frazie said. “I knew that what we did was not against the Elections Code ... my only concern was that it would be deemed offensive enough to be an issue with the University,” Richmond said. “It was not my intentions to have any sort of offensive campaign or have any kind of racist

Children’s Trick-or-treating event offers 80 tables of candy BY MELISSA CANDOLFI STAFF WRITER

More than 2,500 children attended West Virginia University’s third annual Trunkor-Treat event hosted by the Institute of Industrial Engineers. The event featured various student organizations giving out Halloween candy at more than 80 kid-friendly tables. “WVU students get such a bad reputation as a bunch of party kids, but this lets us show that we care about the community, and not just about football,” said Adam Brandfass, a senior industrial engineering major. Each organization participating in the event was advised to bring its own candy. Brandfass said many had to run out for more because of the event’s popularity.

“We were expecting about 1,000 kids, so we bought some candy,” he said. “But once almost 3,000 kids showed up, everyone needed more.” He said when the event started in 2008, approximately 700 children attended. Last year almost 900 kids attended. “In three years the event has grown,” Brandfass said. “It is obvious the community is enjoying it just as much as we are.” Trunk-or-Treat gives parents an opportunity to enjoy Halloween with their children while knowing they are in a safe environment, he said. Since the event is WVU student-driven and inside the Coliseum, parents feel more comfortable knowing their Chelsi Baker/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM child is not walking around on Nicolas Weber, 1, wears a horse costume at the Shell Building during Trunk-or-Treat.

Options for providing the West Virginia University Institute of Technology library access through WVU’s main campus libraries were discussed at Monday’s Faculty Senate Executive Committee meeting. Currently WVU Tech does not have the same library access as the main campus, making it difficult for WVU Tech faculty and students to gain information, said Alan Stolzenberg, Faculty Senate chair. “If we are going to ask faculty members to be actively engaged in research, we need to make the tools available for that to happen,” said University President James P. Clements. WVU Tech’s Faculty Assembly said at their Oct. 7 meeting that library access is important for classroom ef-

Three city manager candidates to attend forum staff writer

The top three candidates for city manager will be available to answer questions from Morgantown residents tonight. The Morgantown City Council is hosting a public forum at the Morgantown Event Center from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The forum is a chance for the candidates to introduce themselves to the public and for the residents to learn more about them, said Mayor Bill Byrne.

“We want to give the public an opportunity to shake their hands and ask a question,” he said. The top candidates are Tony Massey, city manager in Frankfort, Ky.; Terrence Moore, city manager in Las Cruces, N.M.; and Jeff Mikorski, former assistant city manager and current interim city manager for Morgantown. The council also hopes to get feedback from residents on the candidates and what they bring to Morgantown, Byrne said.

The forum and other interviews with the candidates were facilitated by Affion Public, the consulting firm that handled resumes and narrowed down the candidates, said Scott Reilly, CEO of Affion Public. City Clerk Linda Little and Affion Public will compile the feedback and present it to council, he said. The candidates have already been interviewed, and they met with the entire council and executive board Monday, Reilly said.

The three candidates also toured Morgantown with council members, Byrne said. A new city manager must be elected by the council, and it hopes to hire someone in late November or early December, he said. Affion Public received more than 60 applications for the position, Byrne said in a previous report. The top eight applicants were presented to council and narrowed down to three

Scott Hurst, campus provost for WVU Tech, told Faculty Senate he is willing to reasonably compensate WVU to correct this but is unsure of the cost, Stolzenberg said. Divisional campuses cannot share a license with the main campus and must have their own license to gain library access, said Michele Wheatly, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “There is a number of ways to get access to what they need,” she said. “The problem is that (WVU) Tech may not be in the financial position to pay for all these licenses as a separate institution because it is a very expensive thing.” Allowing individual institutions to gain access

Improving student elections by implementing different processes was discussed during Monday’s Student Government Association’s Speak Up event. Although nothing was decided, the comments will be considered by SGA. SGA President Chris Lewallen said he wants to get the Secretary of States to donate 20 voting booths for student elections next year. Currently, SGA spends $5,500 to use the Votenet online voting system, he said. Votenet was used during this year’s Homecoming elections and has been used for SGA elections.

Switching systems would save SGA money, which could be put to more student organizations grants, and possibly increase the validity of elections, Lewallen said. Booths would take away the legitimacy of elections if only 1,000 people vote, said SGA Chief of Staff Daniel Brummage. “People say it might cut down on voter turnout, but I think it might improve,” Lewallen said. “I would rather have 1,000 legitimate votes than 20,000 of concern.” Booths may make it possible to have longer voting periods, said Taylor Richmond, a senior political science

Clements also suggested speaking with other universities, such as the University of Maryland and the University of California, to determine how their systems operate.

Nigel Clark, executive committee member, said a costeffective option for WVU Tech is to purchase papers on an individual basis, which may cost about $5,000 to $8,000 per year. “If they are part of the family, they should have that level of access,” Clements said. “We will continue to explore the options.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

This would provide an incentive for tickets to choose honest candidates and discourage each other from cheating, Cheng said. Richmond suggested instead of fining, SGA should take away a percent of a candidates’ vote. Another issue discussed is that the Homecoming king and queen violations are not validated until after the Homecoming game. The period between the end of voting and the Homecoming game should be longer so SGA’s Judicial Board can determine if someone is worthy, said Kevin Beck, a senior marketing major and 2010 Homecoming candidate. Violations can be filed the first day of campaigning, and the Judicial Board cannot look into something without a violation being filed first, said Tasha Frazie, SGA elections chair. A lot of violations don’t come in until after crowning though, Beck said. “There’s a very big social stigma for doing that (filing violations),” he said.

Currently, election violations are handled based on their priority or impact on the election, Cheng said. Gov. Joe Harmon said with a system where violations come in before the crowning, the Judicial Board would have to decide no matter what. If the judicial board finds there is not enough evidence, then the person with the most votes wins, he said. In addition, the amount that candidates can spend should be clarified, Beck said. Homecoming candidates can spend $500 of their own and $250 from additional donations, Lewallen said. The system is checked by having the candidates turn in receipts; however, this year some candidates failed to turn them in on time, Frazie said. Cheng also suggested that it be $750 total of either donated or own money, so as not to discriminate against poorer students wishing to run. Brummage said SGA should get rid of the budget altogether because in “real world” campaigns candidates are not given a budget but use only what they raise. samantha.cossick@mail.wvu.edu

206-year-old W.Va. church needs a helping hand

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — The congregation of the 206-year-old Guyandotte United Methodist Church has fallen on hard times. Changing neighborhoods, an aging congregation, dwindling attendance and the troubled economy in general have conspired to virtually empty the treasury of the oldest Christian body in Cabell County. Today, its present sanctuary building which was completed in 1870, enlarged in 1905, and houses in its steeple the bell from the steamboat Henry M. Stanley, which sank in Gallipolis, Ohio, in 1907 stands in need of significant repairs and a good paint job. And the Rev. Rich Nedrow, its pastor, says the church has no money to finance the work. “This situation is a real shame, considering the congregation’s history,” Nedrow said. “It would be a tragedy to see this historic icon vanish from the local landscape.” Englishman Francis Asbury, the first Methodist bishop in America, is said to have come from his headquarters in part of what is now Greenbrier County to plant the seeds of his faith among a colony of settlers at the mouth of the Guyandotte River in 1778. The Guyandotte Circuit was organized in 1804, five years before Cabell County was carved out of Kanawha, six years before the Town of Guyandotte was chartered, and 67 years before Huntington was incorporated. The original church building stood at the corner of Guyan Street and what is now 5th Avenue, with its graveyard now maintained by the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District behind it.

In this Oct. 4 photo, Rev. Rich Nedrow stands in front of Guyandotte Methodist Church in Guyandotte, W.Va. The 206-year-old church is in need of significant repairs including exterior painting and steeple restoration. The church was the site of Kanawha County’s first grammar school, back when Kanawha County included the entire southwestern corner of Virginia. “This school went to the eighth-grade level, but some years later the members elected to build a subscription school,

or high school, for higher education,” said Helen Diddle, who at age 101 is the oldest living member of the church. “They chose Episcopalian John Laidley, who married Mary Scales Hite, a member of our church, as their leader and chairman of the trustees.”

Group asks court to lift ban on gays as US appeals SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A gay rights group that successfully sued to overturn the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy said Monday that national security would not be irreparably harmed by allowing gays to serve openly while the federal government appeals the case. The Log Cabin Republicans organization asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to let stand an order by a lower court that barred the policy. The move came after a three-judge panel of the appeals court imposed a temporary stay that in effect reinstated “don’t ask, don’t tell” eight days after U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips issued a worldwide injunction halting its application. The panel is now considering whether to extend the ban during the appeal by the federal government. The Log Cabin group was given until Monday to present arguments. President Barack Obama favors repealing the Clinton-era law but wants it done by Congress. However, lawyers for the Log Cabin group argued that the Obama administra-

tion has not proven that allowing gays in uniform would be problematic. “The district court’s injunction requires only one thing: that the government discontinue all investigations and discharge proceedings that have been commenced under the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ statute,” lawyers for the group wrote. Department of Justice lawyers said last week that allowing the order by Phillips to stand “would create tremendous uncertainty” for gay service members and deprive the armed forces of time to develop integration procedures. Log Cabin’s lawyers countered that depriving gays of their civil rights is a much more serious problem that continues each day that “don’t ask, don’t tell” remained law. “The emergency stay of injunction that the government requests would perpetuate this unconstitutional state of affairs,” the lawyers said. The appeals court panel is expected to move quickly on the issue.

Wash. case raises alcoholic energy drink concerns ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — Sugary, high-alcohol energy drinks that are popular with college students who want to get drunk quickly and cheaply came under renewed scrutiny Monday as investigators announced that nine freshmen had been hospitalized after drinking them at an off-campus party. Several states are considering outlawing the drinks and at least two universities have banned them from campus while the Food and Drug Administration reviews their safety. The issue received new attention after the Oct. 8 party in Roslyn, a picturesque mountain town known as the place where part of the 1990s television series “Northern Exposure” was filmed. Police first responded to a report of an unconscious female in a grocery store parking lot and learned about the party from her friends. At the home, officers found a chaotic scene, with students from nearby Central Washington University passed out and so intoxicated that investigators thought they had overdosed on drugs. Nine students who drank a caffeinated malt liquor called Four Loko were hospitalized with blood-alcohol levels ranging from 0.12 percent to 0.35 percent, and a female student nearly died, CWU President James L. Gaudino said. A blood-alcohol concentration of 0.30 percent is considered potentially lethal. All the hospitalized students were inexperienced drinkers – freshmen ranging in age from 17 to 19. Toxicology results showed no drugs in their bloodstreams, though a small amount of marijuana was reported at the party, university police Chief Steve Rittereiser said. Some students admitted drinking vodka, rum and beer with Four Loko, which is made by Phusion Projects Inc., of Chicago. Phusion said in a statement that people have consumed caffeine and alcohol together safely for years. The company said it markets its products responsibly to those of legal drinking age and shares with college administrators the goal of making campuses safe and healthy environments.

“The unacceptable incident at Central Washington University, which appears to have involved hard liquor, such as vodka and rum, beer, our products, and possibly illicit substances, is precisely why we go to great lengths to ensure our products are not sold to underage consumers and are not abused,” the statement said. The FDA sent a warning letter to Phusion Products in November 2009 asking the company for information that shows adding caffeine to alcoholic beverages is safe, and the case remains open, the agency said in a statement Monday. Four Loko comes in several varieties, including fruit punch and blue raspberry. A 23.5-ounce can sells for about $2.50 and has an alcohol content of 12 percent, comparable to four beers, according to the company’s website. Health advocates say the caffeine in the drink can also suspend the effects of alcohol consumption, allowing a person to consume more than usual. “It gets you really drunk really fast and it gives you a lot of energy so you’re not going to be laying down and sleeping,” said 18-year-old CWU freshman Hyatt Van Cotthem of Everett, Wash., who said he’s tried the beverage but doesn’t drink it because the taste is “nasty.” He didn’t attend the party. Regulating such drinks would be a good idea, Cotthem said, because he’s seen so many students do dumb things when drinking it. But he and a friend also questioned that the drink alone could have wreaked so much havoc.

Seattle’s proposed tree rules prompt opposition SEATTLE (AP) — Towering Douglas Firs and lush urban parks helped earned Seattle the nickname Emerald City, so it’s not surprising that felling a tree can prompt heated responses. A judge was fined $500,000 for cutting down more than 120 cherry and maple trees in a city park for better views, and residents fought for years to save a mature grove of 100 Douglas firs from being cleared for development. Tree lovers are now fighting proposed city rules that would remove current protections for large, exceptional trees, and do not include a requirement that property owners get a permit to remove a tree. “We’re the Emerald City because of the trees,” said Cass Turnbull, founder of PlantAmnesty, a Seattle-based nonprofit, who favors a permit system as a way to slow down tree-cutting and give people pause. “Trees grow here very easily so we tend to take them for granted.” The proposed tree regulations come at a time when the city is trying to expand its tree canopy to 30 percent by 2037, and a city audit last year called for improvements in the city’s stewardship of trees. Seattle’s tree coverage shrank from 40 percent in 1972 to about 23 percent in 2007.

The city council passed interim tree rules last year and directed city planners to come up with new private-tree regulations, now out for public review. The city council isn’t likely to take up the issue until next year. Many communities, such as Kirkland, Wash., and MiamiDade County, have a tree-removal permit system. Some, like Atlanta, require property owners to pay to replace every tree they remove that’s not hazardous and more than 6 inches in diameter. Brennon Staley, who is managing Seattle’s regulations update, said the city weighed the pros and cons of a permit system, and decided it is too difficult to enforce, is ineffective and creates a burden for property owners. The city, instead, would require developers of new or replaced homes to get a certain number of tree credits by planting or retaining trees, among other proposed rules. The city’s newly appointed Urban Forestry Commission is also pushing for a permit system. Josh Robinette, 32, a Seattle machinist, doesn’t agree. “Personally, I think if it’s your private property, within limits, you should be able to do what you want,” said Robinette. “If you have a tree that

The specimen, also known as a mimosa tree, is estimated at over 50 years old. The latest target of community rage among tree lovers in Seattle are proposed rules that, among other things, would no longer require residents to get a permit to fell a tree on their property. you don’t want, or it’s diseased, you should be able to cut it down without a permit.” Last year Robinette said he was fined $22,500 for cutting down a massive diseased Douglas fir in his front yard. He appealed – and won – arguing he was given wrong information from city workers. Garrett Huffman, Seattle manager for the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, said the existing protections for exceptional trees have hampered development and he is glad

it’s not included in the proposed rules. The city has decided it wants urban growth, but “the battle right now is every single tree and it’s inefficient,” he said. “The city needs to decide whether it’s a city of density with trees, or it’s an urban forest that happens to have some people living in it.” Turnbull and others believe if people knew the monetary value of their trees, or got incentives like a utility credit for planting them, they’d do more to preserve them.

Study reveals risky sex behavior among NYC teens NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly one-tenth of sexually active New York City high school students say they have had at least one same-sex partner, and teens who say they’ve had sexual contact with both sexes report higher-than-average rates of dating violence, forced sex and risky sexual behavior, a new study says. The study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics analyzed 17,220 public health surveys and found that more than a third of teens who had same-sex encounters identified themselves as straight. Advocates said the results point to the need for public health messages to target behavior, not identity. It’s troubling, though not surprising, that the youths who reported encounters with both sexes also had higher rates of risky behavior and violence, said Dr. Susan Blank, assistant commissioner of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

“It has been shown in the literature that students who have both male and female partners have a lot of adverse health problems,” she said. The report is based on surveys administered in New York City high schools in 2005 and 2007. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey is distributed every two years by the health department to a representative sampling of city high schools. Of the students who completed the survey, 7,261 said they had had sexual intercourse. The survey asked questions including the number of sex partners in the teen’s lifetime, as well as in the previous three months, and whether there was a history of forced sex or dating violence. Among the sexually active males, 93.1 percent said they had had sexual contact only with female partners, 3.2 percent said they’d had contact only with other males, and 3.7 percent said they’d had both male and female partners.

Among the sexually active females, 88.1 percent said they’d had sex only with males, 3.2 percent said they’d had only female partners and 8.7 percent said they’d had partners of both sexes. Of all the sexually active teens, 9.3 percent reported at least one same-sex partner. Study author Preeti Pathela, a research scientist at the health department, said that there are no comparable national numbers but that other states have reported lower numbers of teens who have had partners of the same or both sexes. Students also were asked whether they considered themselves straight, gay or lesbian, bisexual, or “not sure.” Of the teens with at least one same-sex partner, 38.9 percent answered “heterosexual or straight.” Other studies have shown a similar divergence between behavior and sexual identity, but Blank said this study pro-

vides a reminder that “our public health prevention messages really need to look at behavior, not identity.” The study found that teens who reported partners of both sexes also reported higherthan-average rates of risky sexual practices, such as not using a condom during intercourse, as well as higher rates of partner violence and forced sex. Of the girls with both male and female partners, 35.8 percent said they had experienced dating violence in the previous year. Of the boys with both male and female partners, 34.8 percent reported it in the previous year. Far lower percentages of teens with only male or only female partners answered yes to the question about dating violence. Of the males who reported both male and female partners, just 44.1 percent said they’d used a condom during their last sexual encounter.

OPINION

TUESday OCTOBER 26, 2010

Community should attend Meet the Candidates Members of the greater Morgantown community should attend Meet the Candidates at the Mountainlair tonight. All 10 West Virginia House of Delegates candidates for the 44th District – Monongalia County – will be on hand, as well as both candidates for the WV Senate from the 13th District. The forum will take place at 7 p.m. in the Gluck Theatre. Each candidate will be given the opportunity to speak for

approximately five minutes in order to explain their reasons for running. Each will be encouraged to stress the importance of students exercising their legal right and civilian duty to vote. “It is one thing to go and listen to each candidate, but we, as students, also have different issues that are important to us,” Nelson France, SGA’s liaison to city council, told WVU Today. Following the forum, a reception will be held in the Vanda-

lia Lounge of the Mountainlair where students can better get to know the candidates. “This will give students ample time to talk to the candidates about issues important to them personally,” France said. While the event is geared toward students, it will be open to the public. Thus, anyone with an interest should attend. Leaders at a state and local level affect the day-to-day lives of students and others as much

as those on the national scene. Their impact can be seen and felt around the town and state. The area has been inundated with campaign signs and political advertisements. Now it’s almost time to choose. It is vital to make an informed decision before casting a vote, especially when so many younger candidates are attempting to start their political careers. With this election, voters have the opportunity to shape

the political lay of the land at the present and for years to come. By attending this forum, students and others in the community will have the rare opportunity to meet the candidates on a person level.

Ongoing mortgage crisis threatens nation’s economy recovery tomas engle correspondent

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the real estate water, ominous fins break the surface and circle the economy. There’s no blood in the water yet, but the image is a foregone conclusion that this current foreclosure fraud crisis will be the next leg down in the economy. For a bit of catch-up, here is what happened. Remember when the housing bubble popped two years ago and the stock market tanked? The main culprit was the tandem of securitization of mortgages (essentially repack-

aging property mortgages like sausage) and the likelihood that most people were so underwater (owed more than the home value) on their mortgages that there was little to no hope in ever paying them back. Selling a loan as an investment that is more likely to default than be repaid is a bad situation. An even worse situation is when that scenario makes up much of the country’s financial assets. All of this was pretty much swept under the rug for another day with the passage of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, in which the financial industry basically threatened the country with visions of “Mad Max” in exchange for a bailout for their horrible decisions. The bribe was paid to the banks, and all the bad stuff went away for a while, which

brings us back to today. Three weeks ago, news spread that banks had not only securitized these mortgages so much that the real title owner of many of these properties had been lost, but also that foreclosure document companies allowed lower-level employees to impersonate bank executives to speed up the foreclosure process. This process of speeding up foreclosure has given rise to the situation the Earl family of Simi Valley, Calif., found themselves in. The Earl family got behind in their mortgage payments, and in order to prevent foreclosure, came to a payment plan agreement with their bank. Despite making regularly scheduled payments, the amount owed to the bank did not even go down on their

statements; it actually went up. They tried to contact their bank, but for reasons still unknown, the bank quickly acted to foreclose upon their home by changing the locks and putting it on the market within days. The Earl family fought back by breaking into their home, changing the locks again and hiring a lawyer to be part of a class action suit. Michael Pines, the family’s attorney, claims their case is just the beginning in a long line of class action against banks. On Oct. 20 during the “The Dylan Ratigan Show” he stated: “I say with a high degree of confidence that no one in this country knows for sure who owns any real estate, residential or commercial. The only real estate we can be sure of is perhaps somebody who

paid off their property before the 1980’s when securitization started, owned it free and clear, passed it down from family to family. Other than that, any piece of property that was bought, sold or refinanced from the early 1980s when securitization started until now, nobody knows who owns that property. Nobody.” And according to Gretchen Morgenstern, who has been following this closely at The New York Times, the total amount of money involved is $45.5 trillion. “(That) is roughly twice the amount of the U.S. stock market, and my suspicion is that lawyers will be arguing for the next two, three, four decades about who should pay for (it),” Morgenstern said. This has huge implications

for everyone in the country, even non-property owning college students. If there is no clear title owner to property, it can easily lead to squatting. And with a stoppage of debt payments in the housing sector, it can easily lead to default on other forms of debt as debtors become more disillusioned by what they perceive as the faceless authority of their lending agency. Credit cards are a prime example of this. While this chaotic scenario may appeal to you now as a college student, this is not the recipe for a first world country with a thriving middle class, but for a banana republic torn between extremists who want to continue the public-private plunder and others that promise to replace it with a system where everyone is equally screwed.

Choosing a spouse should not be based on appearance, sex appeal michael piano correspondent

The Book of Duderonomy tells the parable of a rich man who gave three maidens he was courting $5,000. How they would spend the money would determine who he would marry. The first maiden blew all her money at the spa. The second maiden did home improvements and bought the man some power tools. The third invested it, and, within no time, made $15,000. She kept $7,500 for herself and gave the other half to the man. So who did he marry? The girl with the biggest breasts. He chose poorly. The Book of Esthergen tells

the parable of a very attractive woman, a Heart Break Queen, who had three suitors. One was of the dashing and gallant sort: a professional athlete and TV personality. The second was a nerd: With his intelligence he had accumulated wealth and would always be able to provide for a household. The third was the dashing Casanova; at parties he knew how to strike up flirty and enjoyable conversation and hold his martini in the most urbane manner possible. He was the Heart Break King, and the people of the realm thought the two would be the ideal couple. So who did she marry? The one with the six-pack. She chose poorly. My brothers and sisters, these parables that have come down to us are silly, but without much imagination you can

reach the true point. How many times do you hear of someone marrying someone else because he or she is sexy, because he or she is successful economically or has a prestigious career? How many times do you hear of someone marrying someone because he or she is dashing or is the social queen? Because this person is on the surface romantic? Because this person is seductive? Because this person can easily get one in the mood? Because this person is an intriguing one who has been on the wild side? Not long after, the honeymoon ends, and reality sets in. The man and woman go through the mundane routine of life – chores, work, obligations, decisions, negotiation and then conflict. She is immune to his surface first impressions, and he is ha-

bituated to her formerly mysterious charm. If one has given oneself to others physically too many times before, the psychological bond between the two partners is already lessened, and sexual confusion and vain comparisons to previous sexual intimates may come to mind. The man lounges around in his underwear and loses his six-pack. The woman may do the same. Then comes a re-evaluation; they must start again on more solid foundations. But can they? Sometimes these marriages are salvaged; other times they are not. We see this happen all around us, but when we ourselves get into a relationship and attempt to settle down, we assume ours is truly based on solid ground. Then we find out we were just like the rest.

The Book of Duderonomy also tells us the parable of the steamboat that hits a rock – the boat rips apart and sinks, but a survivor is clutching to a piece of flotsam. Within no time at all, another steamboat is making its way around the bend not far up the river. A captain is at the helm and has the little hat, sailor jacket and corncob pipe. The helpless man or woman in the water warns the newcomer, “Stop! There’s a rock!” But the captain confidently replies, “But I have a good ship.” Another wreck goes down and soon there are two people clinging onto wreckage. A third boat comes down the river. That captain, too, is warned, but again ignores the warning and meets the same fate as the previous two. The Book of Duderonomy

tells us of the man who was wise, patient, and after much time chose a woman who was his best female friend. She cared, looked out for him, had his back and knew right from wrong. She would be the mother of his children. He knew that he would have to put up with her crap the rest of his life, joined at the hip. The Book of Esthergen tells us of the woman who was wise, patient, and after much time chose a man who was her best male friend. He cared, looked out for her, had her back and knew right from wrong. He would build the fence around her house and keep the wolves from her daughters. She knew that she would have to put up with his crap the rest of her life, joined at the hip. If you are this man or this woman, then you have chosen wisely.

TUESday OCTOBER 26, 2010

Science fiction author to host lecture by jake potts A&E writer

Science fiction author James Gunn will host a lecture in Mountainlair Ballrooms at 7:30 p.m. Gunn has been producing science fiction works since the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;40s, having published a total of 26 books. He was the winner of the Science Fiction Achievement

Award in 1983 and served as the president of the Science Fiction Writer of America in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;71. His work spans a variety of genres, including radio scripts, short stories, books and magazine and anthology articles. The lecture is part of West Virginia Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival of Ideas. Gunn will be speaking on the literature pieces of famous

fiction writer Isaac Asimov. Gunn has researched Asimovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work for years and is considered one of the most knowledgeable people on the subject, according to senior Molly Simis, event coordinator. Simis said Gunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lecture is a part of the event to bring a change of pace in learning about literature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The festival is to bring new

ideas to campus,â&#x20AC;? Simis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And to get people excited about different ideas and get people thinking in new ways.â&#x20AC;?

Simis is expecting a crowd of about 200 people to 300 people for the event. According to Simis, though Gunn is well-versed in the genre of science fiction, his lecture will step out of the field to discuss a range of Asimovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. Asimovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, his inspirations and dynamics of his work and his role in the world of science fiction will be fo-

cused on in the lecture. WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library currently features a large collection of Asimovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. Prior to the event, the downtown library will provide tours of Asimovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work. These tours begin at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. but are by RSVP only. The lecture is free and open to the general public. jakob.potts@mail.wvu.edu

A demonic figure stands outside Fright Farm, a popular destination for Halloween enthusiasts.

Fright Farm continues to scare, offering a haunting experience mackenzie mays Associate a&E EDITOR

Fright Farm has delivered yet again after 21 years of haunted attractions, with the theme â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outbreak.â&#x20AC;? The elaborate haunted mansion, placed in the middle of a cornfield in Smithfield, Pa., has upped its scare tactics this year with high-tech special effects and more hands-on fright. While the mansion is compiled of multiple studio-like rooms with a variety of horror themes, the entertainment begins before visitors ever actually make it to the castle-like house. Live bands perform for those waiting in line, who are then taken on a tractor ride through the field, with plenty of surprise guests along the way. From a Native American burial ground to a backwoods scene reminiscent of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Deliverance,â&#x20AC;? tractor passengers are spooked all the way to their destination, making what appears to be an accidental pitstop leading the audience to crazed chainsaw murderers. It seems unfair to give Fright Farm the label of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;haunted house,â&#x20AC;? since its theatrical and visual appeal take it to a new level. All actors use facial prosthetics and makeup, as opposed to masks and each room features vivid detail. Although the consistent theme of infected humans turned zombies are found throughout the mix, rooms feature everything from possessed children and cannibals to a mock hell scene. The most impressive aspect of Fright Farm isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually the spookiness of it all, but the special effects and optical

FOR MORE INFO ON FRIGHT FARM Visit Fright Farm online at www.richfarms.com/frightfarm illusions. This year, a 3-D old-timey movie theatre, a tilted off-balance room with disorienting strobe lights, and a claustrophobic room with shortened ceilings that forces fright-goers to push through airbags in the dark are all featured. The farm also takes pride in its intimate scare tactics, with actors listening for names of attendees to specifically haunt, surprise windows squirting water out at random faces and an enclosed, dark slide with surprise spooks at the end. Though the haunted mansion is constantly upgrading, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to tap into original fears like clowns, graveyards and classic villains like Freddie Krueger and Jason from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Halloween.â&#x20AC;?

Comedic relief can also be found in the midst of all the horror â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this year featuring a mock Gary Coleman funeral. Controversy is something this Halloween production isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid of. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s installment features a depressed teen attempting suicide while crying in the mirror, a Middle Eastern man in a cave asking for directions to the airport and a coal mine scene. To say the least, Fright Farm isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for the faint of heart. The actual â&#x20AC;&#x153;frightâ&#x20AC;? is capable of conquering for those who like to get in the Halloween spirit, but the psychological thrillers might take some guts. Fright Farm is open Wednesdays through Sundays during October. General Admission tickets are $19. Discounted tickets at $10 are available for students on Wednesdays.

A census taker once tried to test him. He ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. He is Hannibal Lecter. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brilliant psychiatrist, helping officers track down psychotic killers. Oh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a cannibal. Despite a low-key introduction in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manhunter,â&#x20AC;? the character of Lecter became a cultural icon with the release of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Silence of the Lambsâ&#x20AC;? in 1991, winning multiple Oscars. In it, FBI agent-in-training Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is called by the superior officers to help track down a new serial killer named â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buffalo Bill.â&#x20AC;? The FBI is clueless, hitting a roadblock in its investigation of a killer who skins people in random places. They need help, and think Starling is the catalyst for the

silent, brooding genius who is Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). Lecter, knowing full-well she is yet another tool of the FBI to get him to help their case, becomes intrigued with Starling and begins to play with her psychologically. He sizes her up in one fell swoop, bringing a crushing delivery that enables her to earn his respect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A wellscrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that accent youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried so desperately to shed? Pure West Virginia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you â&#x20AC;Ś all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars â&#x20AC;Ś while you could only dream of getting out â&#x20AC;Ś getting anywhere â&#x20AC;Ś getting all the way to the FBI.â&#x20AC;? Lecter, it emerges, respects those who respect him.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a conventional Hollywood killer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no senseless axe wielding or scenarios involving creepy dummies. There are, however, a few scenes of gutting and eating peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces. The relationship between Starling and Lecter is what truly makes this film. Lecter respects Starling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; developing a kind of professional relationship that eventually ends with her revealing as much about herself as he can extrapolate about the killer from FBI case files. Hopkins excels, making the role his own that continues in the sequel â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannibal,â&#x20AC;? and the prequel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hannibal Rising.â&#x20AC;? Few villains have left a lasting impression as Hopkins as Lecter. The movie is also dark and suspenseful, effortlessly combining intrigue and suspense throughout.

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you will be open to many unique opportunities that come through a partnership or through individuals. Sometimes you become extremely critical or hard on yourself. Learn ways of relaxing and letting go. Remember, no one is perfect, including you. Put yourself 100 percent into whatever you do. Be willing to revise your style. If you are single, you meet people with ease, and they feel your intensity. Though you might want a close bond, choosing the right person rather than the first person is key. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from sharing more. Make special time together more often. GEMINI helps you zero in on the basics. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH You can and will make a difference. Listen to news that is forthcoming.

Newlyweds Brand, Perry leave India

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT | 7

What are you listening to the most right now? “Postal Service and Nine Inch Nails. A lot of my stuff is ‘nerd-based’ things I download from the internet.” Danny Dickman, Senior mechanical engineering major

“I’d say indie or alternative rock. My favorite right now is The Shins, but it always changes.” Katie White, Junior advertising major

Katy Perry and Russell Brand arrive at the annual Pre-GRAMMY Gala. JAIPUR, India (AP) — Comedian Russell Brand and pop singer Katy Perry flew to the Maldives on Monday after their wedding at a tiger reserve in India, while authorities investigated whether the wedding party broke noise laws. Under tight security, the couple tied the knot Saturday at an exclusive resort strewn with colorful lights and flower garlands. On Monday afternoon, the newlyweds boarded a helicopter near Ranthambhore National Park and arrived in the city of Jaipur, where they took a chartered flight to the Maldives, Jaipur airport director R.K. Singh said. The nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean is renowned for its high-end resorts. Friends who arrived by road joined the couple on the flight, Singh said. Locals had mixed feelings

about the celebrity visit, and Rajasthan state’s chief minister on Monday ordered an investigation into public complaints about party noise that lasted into the early hours of Sunday, local district collector Ravi Kumar Surpur said. Local laws bar noise beyond 10 p.m. that would disturb local communities or wildlife. The Ranthambhore National Park is home to tigers, leopards, wild boars and other animals. If laws were broken, the concerned parties or the resort management would be charged, Surpur said. Also, two men from the wedding party apologized for assaulting four news photographers, including one from The Associated Press, then taking their car keys and stranding them in the wild tiger reserve Friday. The written apology acknowledged “physical as-

sault” and “bad behavior.” Because of the apology, no formal police investigation was opened. None of the photographers sought medical care. Local hoteliers and tour operators said the celebrity wedding brought positive attention to the tiger reserve. The wedding “would only serve the cause of tiger conservation,” local hotel owner Balendu Singh said. “The event was a big success, and Ranthambhore would get enough mileage as a tourist destination.” Brand, a 35-year-old British comedian and actor known for a drug-addled past and hedonistic tendencies, is next set to star as Trinculo in “The Tempest” and the title character in a remake of “Arthur.” Pop star Perry turned 26 on Monday. Her second album, “Teenage Dream,” was one of this year’s best-sellers.

Celine Dion gives birth to twins NEW YORK (AP) — Celine Dion has given birth to twin boys, finally realizing her dream of being a mother again after a long struggle to become pregnant. A statement released by St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla., said that the 42-year-old superstar singer delivered the boys Saturday afternoon. One boy weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces, while the other weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces. No names have been announced. Dion and her husband-manager, Rene Angelil, are already the parents of one son, 9-yearold Rene Charles. But Dion had long wanted to have more children, and, like with her first child, she had difficulty becoming pregnant. She has spoken openly about her struggles, undergoing several rounds of in-vitro fertilization. Last year, after information leaked that she was pregnant, she confirmed the news, only to learn that the in vitro procedure was not successful. She had to issue a reversal weeks later.

In an interview earlier this year, Dion said she hoped that by publicly sharing her struggle, she could help others. “If I help people through my voice, through my interviews, through what I go through, I do not want to change that at all,” she said. “I think it’s making a difference.” The boys came a month early. Dion was due to deliver next month, but earlier this week, it was announced that she was

hospitalized as a precaution to make sure she was near her doctors as she prepared to give birth. Dion, a five-time Grammy winner who has sold tens of millions of albums, announced earlier this year that she would be returning to Las Vegas for a three-year run at Caesar’s Palace. She had a hugely successful five-year run in Las Vegas that ended in 2007.

“I guess Defiance Ohio. It’s like anti-government stuff.”

volleyball

Mountaineers swept by ’Nova by sebouh majarian sports writer

The West Virginia volleyball team dropped its second-consecutive road game, as Villanova beat the Mountaineers in three sets Sunday. The Wildcats (19-4, 7-1 Big East Conference) won 25-21, 25-15 and 25-21 to extend their winning streak to six and 18 of 19. “It was definitely a tough loss, and the girls were really upset about it,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “They played really good defense, but offensively, we weren’t where we needed to be.” West Virginia’s Big East Tournament hopes are still alive. The team sits in seventh place in the conference. Eight teams make the postseason tournament. The margin for error is small. The Mountaineers have the same conference record as Pittsburgh (10-14, 4-4) and Seton Hall (10-14, 4-4). WVU seemed out of sync against Villanova, as the Mountaineers recorded 27 kills on a .093 hitting percentage.

Four Mountaineers recorded double-figure digs, led by junior Kylie Armbruster, who finished with a team-high 16 digs. Senior libero Bonnie West finished with 13 digs. Junior outside hitter Serinna Russo recorded 12 digs and seven kills. Junior outside hitter Michelle Kopecky led the team with eight kills. Junior setter Kari Post recorded her 10th double-double of the season with 18 assists and 12 digs. Post had a fairly quiet game, as she ranks seventh in the conference with 30.09 assists per game. She finished with only 18 against the Wildcats. West Virginia had a 15-10 lead in the first set before the Wildcats went on a 6-2 run fueled by Alyssa Anderson to cut the lead to 17-16. With the teams knotted at 21, the Mountaineers made three errors, and Villanova won the set 25-21. West Virginia took an early lead once again in the second frame at 8-4, but Villanova scored four-straight to tie it up. The Wildcats would go on a 10-4 run from there and would connect on two straight kills to win the set 25-15.

“We got stuck in a couple rotations, and then they blew past us and made some big plays,” Kramer said. After WVU had an early 7-4 lead disappear in the third set, the teams battled point-forpoint until the Mountaineers took a 21-20 lead. The Wildcats’ Krista Andersen would record two-consecutive kills in part of a 5-0 run to win the set and game. WVU finished with 16 errors in the game. “We had a lot of errors that kept them in the match, and we have to get better at that,” Kramer said. The loss drops the team’s road record to 2-7 as they play their final two road games this weekend. Despite the road record, Kramer said the team is staying positive as it practices for this weekend’s road tests against Marquette and Syracuse. “They’re excited about getting back into the gym and getting going, and they’re really fired up about this being our final road trip,” Kramer said. sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

sports writer

The West Virginia women’s swimming and diving team took first place in 12 of 16 events on its way to a 170.5124.5 victory over Marshall in Huntington, W.Va., Saturday. WVU (1-1) has won fourstraight meets against its instate rival in an annual meet. Head coach Vic Riggs said it was a “good opportunity to have a day trip and compete well coming off the bus.” Junior Jaryn Studer, sophomore Mandie Nugent and freshmen Danielle Smith and Eva Burlingham started things off for the Mountain-

eers by taking first in the 400yard medley relay. From there, the first-place finishes piled up. Nugent and Smith won two more races to lead the team with three first-place finishes. Nugent finished at the top of the leader board in the 100yard and 200-yard butterfly. Smith took care of the 100yard and 200-yard backstroke. West Virginia dominated the freestyle races, as Burlingham took first in the 50yard free. Senior Lyn Ann Nelson won the 100 and 200-yard races. Sophomore Rachael Burnett won the 500 yarder. Sophomore Kata Fodor won the 1,000-yard race.

Women’s team defeats Marshall by ethan rohrbaugh

TUESDAY OCTOBER 26, 2010

That kind of dominance could potentially be a trend for the Mountaineers this season. Riggs pointed out his squad’s strength in the 200yard, 500-yard and 1,000-yard races as “solid.” Studer and freshman Melissa Schreiber stake claim to West Virginia’s other top finishes against Marshall, winning the 100-yard and 200-yard breaststroke, respectively. Marshall (1-2) finished the meet with wins in the onemeter dive, three-meter dive, 200-yard IM and 400-yard freestyle relay. ethan.rohrbaugh@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers downed the Orange in eight-straight contests. “We just played a team that we hadn’t lost to since 2001,” Stewart said. “And that was corrected quickly. I don’t see any reason that if we don’t play to the best of our ability, the same thing won’t happen again. That’s all I see, and I hope that our young people see it too.” NOTES zz Stewart is adamant the

Mountaineers did not look past Syracuse in terms of counting a win before kickoff. He felt they were perfectly prepared. “They knew Syracuse could play,” he said. “They looked at the film.” He did say, however, that he didn’t think his team thought Syracuse “was going to be a factor.” zz With three interceptions and five sacks, WVU quarterback Geno Smith played his worst game in seven starts for the Mountaineers. Stewart said it was a “learning experience” for his young sophomore signal

caller. “(He needs to) learn from it, don’t ever ignore it, but don’t dwell on it,” Stewart said. Since his stunning comeback drives over Marshall, Smith has been heralded as one of the top passing quarterbacks the Mountaineers have had in a long time. Stewart said not to overlook the fact he is just a sophomore. “He’s a 19-year-old kid that’s not perfect,” Stewart said. “We’re finding out that it takes more than one guy to win a football game.”

582, while fellow senior Adraz Poje set a career-high with a score of 568 in smallbore. “It shows the depth we have as a team,” Hammond said of the team’s performance without Campriani. “It’s really good to have close matches, because it brings that added pressure. It’s good to be in those situations which will help the team as the season continues.” Hammond said the team will take the loss in stride, be-

cause it’s still early. The team’s goal of winning a national title is not hurt with the upset, he said. “I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing,” Hammond said of losing early on in the season. “It’s not something we’re going to worry about, and we’re not going to dwell on it too long. We’ll take a loss now if it means we’ll be successful in March.”

final possession is the team’s identity. Balance in an offense can be a great thing. But the best part about being a balanced team is knowing you have multiple weapons to utilize, in case one isn’t working. What Stewart and offensive

coordinator Jeff Mullen need to do throughout the next five weeks is find that aspect of the offense so when situations similar to the one WVU faced at the end of the Syracuse game occur again, the outcome will be different. Will the Mountaineers continue to rely heavily on the arm of their young quarterback, even though he’s coming off the worst game of his young career? Running back Noel Devine had his best game since Sept. 18 Saturday. If his health continues to improve, will they ride the senior to success like the plan was supposed to be in the preseason? Since Saturday, Stewart has even mentioned taking more risks with Smith and using him as a mobile threat in the offense. Whichever way Stewart and Mullen choose, it has to be the most effective and especially the most consistent. It has to be the team’s bread and butter, and what they look toward when everything else doesn’t go their way. Throughout the last three years, Stewart and Mullen have developed the offense, so they are in prime position to choose which direction they now want to take it. Hopefully they keep in mind that balance isn’t always the right answer.

BRIAN GAWTHROP ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Balance isn’t always better West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart refers back to the night quite often. The date was Dec. 1, 2007, and the Mountaineers were on the verge of playing for a national championship. Obviously, that never happened. The main culprit: WVU relied too much on the running game, Stewart said, and when Pittsburgh stopped it, the West Virginia offense was handcuffed. It’s an aspect Stewart has tried to erase ever since being named head coach. He wants his offense to be described as “balanced.” Sure, Stewart wanted to keep some of those explosive rushing abilities from the Rich Rodriguez days, but he wanted to add a little throw game as well. Simple idea, and a great one. Three years later, the Mountaineers find themselves coming off another heartbreaking loss at home to a below-average opponent – an embarrassing 19-14 defeat to Syracuse, a team that hadn’t beat WVU in nearly a decade. But the reason why West Virginia fell this time surely wasn’t because it was too lopsided offensively. It was more because the team may be so balanced that when the game was on the line, it didn’t know which way to turn. Identities are supposed to be what a team hangs its hat on when it needs to pick up sure yardage. The West Virginia offense doesn’t have one. It is solid in a lot of areas but masters of none.

Stew, WVU focus on forgetting By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

At 58 years old, West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart doesn’t live in the past. That’s something the Mountaineers’ head coach has learned through 34 years of collegiate coaching. Even after an upsetting 19-14 loss to Syracuse, Stewart said he is ready to move on. He, along with his team, is

already in preparations for Friday’s game at Connecticut. Usually an off day for the team, Stewart said WVU practiced Sunday and Monday night and will continue with their regular practice schedule the rest of the week. “There’s two teams coming off a loss,” Stewart said. “Somebody is going to lose this Friday, and we’ll just have to see what team has resiliency and

what team has resolve, and what team buys into what both coaching staffs are telling them.” West Virginia has faced UConn in each of the past six years. The Mountaineers have never lost to the Huskies. Friday’s game could be a similar story to last week’s contest against Syracuse, as the

West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart and Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone shake hands following the Mountaineers’ 19-14 loss to the Orange Saturday.

Schoenle’s goals give WVU boost it needs By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer

As of Oct. 18, the West Virginia men’s soccer team’s RPI ranking sat at No. 18. In order to qualify for postseason play, the Mountaineers would most likely need to hit the double-digit win mark. Their run to the NCAA Tournament would start with a game against Seton Hall Saturday night in what many would call a must-win situation. After their 3-2 overtime victory over the Pirates, the Mountaineers should be singing praises to defenseman Eric Schoenle, who lifted them to the win with two goals in the final 10 minutes of the game. “I don’t know; he blacked out probably,” said goalkeeper Zach Johnson about Schoenle’s play in the closing minutes. “He doubled his goal in 10 minutes or something – that was ridiculous.” Both of Schoenle’s goals, which were his third and fourth of the season, came on headers that were served in on cormatt sunday/the daily athenaeum ner kicks. “We have been working on Members from the West Virginia men’s soccer team celebrate after Eric Schoenle scores services in practice,” Schoenle the game-winning goal over Seton Hall Saturday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

said. “Yesterday, we changed up our corner kicks in practice to free me up and a bunch of other guys up.” Head coach Marlon LeBlanc was quick to add that Schoenle is usually the opposing team’s main focus. “It is commendable to him that he is able to fight through the double and triple teams,” LeBlanc said. What makes Schoenle’s game-winning goal in overtime even more special is the fact the sophomore defender called his shot. “He was telling me after regulation that they weren’t marking him,” Johnson said. “He said if we had a corner kick that he was going to put it in, and he was good to his word.” The Yardley, Pa., native also added that the goals were a huge confidence booster as he prepares for the team’s possible postseason run. “I don’t think I have ever scored two goals in a game,” Schoenle said. “To finally get two solid headers on goal was huge for my confidence for the rest of the year. It makes me feel like I can go get any ball served in

there off a corner kick and put it in the net.” Schoenle, who many say is one of the most humble players on the team, was quick to credit his teammates for helping him net the winning goal. “On corner kicks, they expect me to go up and get the ball,” Schoenle said. “The last ball (midfielder Alex) Silva served up was perfect.” Besides being the driving force of the Mountaineers’ offense, Schoenle also played a spectacular game on the defensive side of the ball. “He was brilliant in the back,” LeBlanc said. “He won everything in the air that they served in, and he won so many tackles in the back – he just had a great performance all around.” At the end of the day, Schoenle’s goals helped keep WVU’s postseason hopes alive, and to LeBlanc, it showed a little bit more of what this team is made of. “The two goals we scored at the end of the game were indicative of a team that is getting better and maturing,” LeBlanc said. brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

Without Campriani, WVU loses to TCU by brad joyal sports writer

For the first time in 18 regular-season matches, the No. 1 West Virginia rifle team lost. The Mountaineers were defeated by No. 2 and defending national champion TCU 4,675 to 4,663. “We want to win every match and have good performances,” said rifle coach Jon Hammond. “Although it’s disappointing to lose, we know it’s still early in the year, and we’ll be a strong team at the

end of the season.” Without the services of senior sharp-shooter Nicco Campriani, who was in Munich, Germany, taking part in the European Championships, the Mountaineers saw other members rise to the occasion in the close match. Senior Tommy Santelli led the team, finishing second overall behind TCU’s Sarah Scherer. Scherer led all competitors with a combined score of 1,176. Santelli finished with a combined score of 1,173. Santelli matched his career-

best with a 585 in smallbore and shot a team-best 588 (99, 97, 97, 97, 98, and 100). “Any time someone shoots 1,170, it’s a solid score,” Hammond said. “He had a solid performance in the first match but nothing special, so this was especially good for him. It’ll give him confidence as the season goes on.” The Mountaineers split the two disciplines with the Horned Frogs. After winning smallbore 2,325-2,315, the
