SGA gov. arrested on hazing charges “ ”

BY TRAVIS CRUM and melanie hoffman da editors

Ahmad Alashi, a Student Government Association governor, was arrested Monday afternoon for his involvement in an alleged hazing incident at West Virginia University’s Phi Sigma Kappa house.

Police officers entered the fraternity house, located at 672 North High St., between 2 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. after hearing music and seeing an open door. There they found pledges blindfolded with food poured

Alashi, a junior international student industrial engineering major, was allegedly slapping those blindfolded in the face, according to police reports.

Alashi initially fled from the scene but turned himself in to police Monday afternoon. He was released on a $1,000 bond.

There were six to seven new members and approximately four active members involved in the incident, said Ron Justice, WVU’s director of Student Organizations Services.

If found guilty of hazing in state court, Alashi would be required to immediately surrender from the position, according to the code.

Alashi will remain on the BOG unless the court finds him guilty of the crime, said SGA President Chris Lewallen.

“The Student Government stance on it is we don’t condone any misbehavior of any kind,” Lewallen said. “It’s an ongoing investigation, and in America, you are innocent

West Virginia women’s soccer players high five fans after the Mountaineers’ second-round NCAA Tournament win over Penn State. The Mountaineers face Boston College Friday in the Sweet 16.

WVU expects to use experience of 2007 Elite Eight run Friday

BY BEN GAUGHAN SPORTS WRITER

West Virginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown has made it to the NCAA Tournament 11-straight seasons. She’s never had a losing season in 16 years as a head coach.

However, after the Mountaineers’ (18-4-1) win over Penn State Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Izzo-Brown experienced something she’s only done once before. They tied their single-season record of wins with 18 wins.

“It’s a lot of wins,” Izzo-

Brown said after Sunday’s 2-1 victory. “This team has done such a great job of just taking it game-by-game.

They have set their standards to a certain level and certain goal.”

The only other time the program has hit the 18-win plateau was in 2007. That, coincidentally was the last time the Mountaineers made it to the Sweet 16.

“I definitely remember all the seniors (in 2007). Each game that we won, they were crying and so excited that we made it to the next round,” said senior forward Megan Mischler. “I just remember that I definitely wanted my senior year to be like that, and maybe get to go even

further.”

In that year, West Virginia made it all the way to the Elite Eight.

“Both teams are special in different ways,” Izzo-Brown said of the similarities and differences from the 2007 team and this year’s team.

“Each team has different emotions, but the leadership that the seniors brought in 2007 is similar to the leadership we have today that wants to win and get back there.”

Astronomy Club visits radio telescope for research

BY CODI YEAGER STAFF WRITER

Members of the Astronomy Club at West Virginia University made a trip to do research at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, W.Va., last weekend.

The NRAO site is home to the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope, the largest steerable radio telescope in the world, as

well as a number of smaller radio telescopes.

“The observatory is prestigious,” said Duncan Lorimer, an astrophysics professor at WVU who accompanied the Astronomy Club and students from his own class on the trip.

“There have been significant discoveries, and there are some very smart people who work down in Green Bank. We are fortunate to have it in our own

backyard.”

Lorimer and the other astronomy faculty members at WVU perform some of their own research at the observatory and bring students down every year, he said.

“It’s a great way to get the students involved,” Lorimer said.

“There is nothing like being in the laboratory where you are getting your data from.”

When the group arrived in

Green Bank Saturday they were given tours of the telescopes and some of the labs, including the main control room, said Dominic Ludovici, vice president of the Astronomy Club and a senior physics major.

“All of the students were also trained on the 40-foot radio telescope,” he said. “We were given use of the (40-foot) telescope

The City of Morgantown has applied for a vote-by-mail system, upon approval, to be piloted by the city for the next year’s Election Day. Voting-by-mail is similar to absentee ballots but does not require an excuse for not going to the polls. Absentee voting requires an excuse and an application for getting a ballot, said David Nichols, manager of elections within West Virginia’s Secretary of State Office. The absentee process drives voters away, Nichols said.

Some problems associated with the vote-by-mail system could be voting in place of someone who has died, he said. But the ballots would be confirmed by the signature of the voter.

The ballots are to be received before Election Day, but would be opened 18 days before, Nichols said.

The cost of voting-by-mail reduces Election Day costs by one third, said Mayor Bill Byrne.

“It would be a great help to increase voter participation,” he said. “People have opportunities to receive the ballot-by -mail and drop it off personally in designated bins.”

Nichols said the ballots could be either mailed back or dropped off in designated bins around the city.

Changing the election date for “less important elections” would cause the city to spend more money on changing the charter of the city and, in turn, cause more confusion, Byrne said.

The application was made in order to bring out more registered voters.

It was an understanding that if the application is approved, then Morgantown will undergo a pilot system on postal voting, Byrne said.

Councilor John Gaddis said community residents should discuss the postal voting issue before any Council members vote to implement the system.

Postal voting is on the agenda for the Committee of the Whole meeting Dec. 3.

The vote-by-mail system began in Oregon, in which more than 50 percent of registered voters are on the ballot mailing list. Voting by mail boosted registered votes cast from 40 percent to 86 percent in Oregon, Nichols said. Washington state has also adapted to the postal mail system.

Interim dean of students to reapply for position

BY SARAH O’ROURKE STAFF WRITER

Corey Farris, interim dean of students at West Virginia University, said he plans on applying for the position permanently if it is made available to him.

Farris, a Charleston native, said he was “happy and honored” to take the temporary position on Sept 1. and will serve as long as the University needs him. He took over for David Stewart, who was transferred to a new position in the Office of Student Affairs.

Not only is Farris the interim dean of students, but he also is the director of housing.

“As the interim dean of students, I’m the student advocate and working to do what I can to help students,” he said. “But the other part is the Student Recreation Center, Career Services, Student Life and Residence Life all report to me.”

As the dean of students, Farris said the most frequent issue students come to him for is where to go within the University to find the right help.

“Once you start talking to

students, it’s easy to see the common thing of what people are asking for,” he said.

“Whether it be a student saying ‘take me to where the service is’ or ‘make this situation easier for me’ or just do a little better job advertising.”

Farris said his main goal as the dean of students is to “be the best student advocate.”

“Particularly, my main goal is to speak on the students’ behalf when students aren’t present at whatever meeting I might be in,” he said.

Farris said at the end of every month he attends a meeting of the Student Government Association to listen to students’ issues.

SGA President Chris Lewallen said Farris has restored what it means to be the dean of students.

“Students have (SGA) working for them on campus but they need someone they can go to for personal issues, financial issues or just any issue,” Lewallen said. “He has brought that role back for the students, and I hope that we seek those

Annual radiothon benefits WVU Children’s Hospital by dustin hoffman staff writer

Local radio stations are currently hosting the 12th Annual “Q for Kids Radiothon,” which benefits the West Virginia University Children’s Hospital.

Three local stations: 101.9 FM WVAQ in Morgantown, 93.5 WBTQ in Elkins and 94.1 WQZK in Cumberland, Md., began hosting the fundraiser Tuesday and will do so until 6 p.m.

The event is hosted annually in the cafeteria at Ruby Memorial Hospital, which is home to the Children’s Hospital.

Jim Littrell, senior director of radio for the National Office of the Children’s Miracle Network, said during last year’s radiothon approximately $120,000 was raised. The orga-

to carry out our own research projects.”

The 40-foot telescope is educational and is reserved for use by the student groups that visit the observatory, Lorimer said.

Mapping hydrogen gas in the Milky Way galaxy was the main project the students worked on, Ludovici said.

“If you get enough observations, you can make a map, and when you put it all together, you can see how the galaxy is rotating,” he said. “It is something that radio astronomers do all the time.”

Unlike an optical telescope that allows an observer to see a magnified view of the sky, a radio telescope collects data

Continued from page 1 qualities in a future dean.”

A typical day in Farris’s shoes usually involves up to four administrative meetings and two or three meetings with student groups or individual students.

“I want to be a good representative for students. So I take every opportunity I can to talk with students,” Farris said.

“Where I can, I will listen to what the students are interested in, and in the day-to-day meetings, that’s the best way to keep supporting and moving those things forward.”

Farris said he has come full circle throughout his career, beginning and ending at WVU, the place he said he belongs.

The biggest change he sees

nization is looking to top the $1 million mark this year.

The Children’s Miracle Network is comprised of 170 children’s hospitals in North America. There are more than 350 radio stations that host radiothons all over the country, Littrell said.

Money donated contributes directly to technology, equipment and toys that make the children feel more comfortable, he said.

“The beauty of everyone donating to this is that it doesn’t go to the National Office, it all stays local and goes to the kids here”, he said.

Dee O’Palko, a development officer at WVU Children’s Hospital, said she appreciated the stations’ efforts.

“It’s amazing that they give up their air time to help out

the community and sick kids”, she said. “The on-air talent, the passion that they show, it’s wonderful”.

Amy Ryan, radio personality of WQZK, said her first experience at the radiothon was interviewing families who benefited from the work of WVU Children’s Hospital.

“Personally, the first year I did the radiothon, I didn’t think I could do this as a broadcaster because you have to show emotion and cry. This is the first time you’re not just being a jock”, she said.

Approximately 72 patients are at WVU Children’s Hospital. Each year the hospital admits children from every county in the state as well as surrounding states.

from the radio signals that objects emit.

“The output of a radio telescope is basically a graph, with intensity versus time (on its axes),” said Ludovici.

Because the telescopes rely on radio waves, Green Bank is in the middle of a radio quiet zone, Ludovici said. The quiet zone spans 13,000 square miles between West Virginia and Virginia, according to the NRAO website.

“All radio broadcasts are regulated by the government,” Ludovici said. “If you want to put up a tower, it has to be tested to make sure it doesn’t interfere with the telescope.”

The restrictions increase on site, and with good reason, he said.

“There are no cell phones, no microwave ovens, and down by

the telescopes themselves there are no gas powered vehicles because the spark plugs could interfere (with them),” Ludovici said. “In radio astronomy, everything is very weak, and that is why they have such big telescopes. Cell phones blind anything in the night sky.”

The astronomy students, however, did not seem to miss their electronics when they had a radio telescope to use.

“Everyone was so excited to be observing,” Ludovici said. “It got below freezing, but people walked the three quarters of a mile (to the telescope) in the middle of the night. Many were out until 4 o’clock in the morning. They really got into it.”

A Student Government Association grant funded the trip.

at the University compared to when he was an undergraduate is the opportunities students have, such as the number of scholarships and study abroad options.

“I think WVU is outstanding at how it works, talks and supports students,” he said. “WVU, back from when I was a student to where it is now, still gives students a great experience.”

He received his undergraduate degree in personnel management from the College of Business & Economics at WVU. Later, Farris received his masters in student development from Ohio State University.

“I love the state, and I love that WVU is the flagship institution for this state,” he said. “I’m dedicated and I truly bleed blue and gold for the University.”

After graduate school, Farris

took a position at the University of Iowa from 1984 to 1991, where he worked in university housing and apartments.

In 1991, Farris returned to WVU after he was hired as the coordinator for orientation programs.

Throughout his career at WVU, Farris has held various positions such as Director of Housing and University Apartments and has worked on many programs such as the Office of Student Conduct.

“I’ve had not only homegrown experience but also experience outside of the University, with this depth of experience I was not only excited and honored I was asked, but I also felt confident that I could be a good advocate for students,” he said.

Those players are goalkeeper Kerri Butler, forward Cassandra Deitrick, midfield Ashtin Larkin, forward Sydney Metheny and Mischler.

“It’s just different now being a senior leader up top,” Mischler said.

“We just have to tell the other girls about what it’s like to be here and how every game means so much and everyone’s going to come out hard.”

For Mischler and the Mountaineers’ other seniors, another loss means the end of their collegiate career.

Because of that, it’s more important for the six seniors on the roster to execute.

“Everyone wants a senior year like we’re having right

now,” Mischler said. “You always want to go out on top and just make it as far as you can because that’s your most memorable year.”

The major difference in this year’s team compared to the 2007 roster is the influx of underclassmen.

Eleven of the members who have received playing time are either freshmen or sophomores.

“We will have to make a decision even if he’s found innocent,” Lewallen said.

Cheng will hold a workshop after tonight’s SGA meeting to remind BOG members they represent students and to hold themselves to a higher standard.

Hazing is, as defined by the West Virginia State Code, “to cause any action which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of another person or persons or causes another person or persons to destroy or remove public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into any organization ... oper-

ating under the sanction of or recognized as an organization by an institution of higher education.”

The term includes, but is not limited to, any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drug or other substance or any other forced physical activity.

The state code also states that a person who causes hazing, if convicted, is guilty of a misdemeanor and will be fined between $100 and $1,000 or confined in a county or regional jail no more than nine months or fined and imprisoned.

Terrance Moore was chosen

by Council in a 6-1 vote, in which Bane was the dissenting vote.

“Some statements and comments were made, and I am disappointed in some of the Council members,” he said. “Dan Boroff came here in 1992, with a budget of $13 million and left with $24 million and did one hell

of a job.”

No rules were broken during the executive session in which the vote was made, Bane said.

Bane said he planned on treating Moore in the same manner as he did Boroff and Mikorski.

Pittsburgh first Pa. city to ban gas drilling PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh became the first city in gas-rich Pennsylvania to ban natural gas drilling after city council members, citing health and environmental concerns, unanimously approved the measure Tuesday.

The council received a standing ovation after voting 9-0 to approve the ban within city limits.

Pittsburgh sits atop part of the Marcellus Shale, a large rock formation in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.

Drilling companies have been flocking to those states to tap into the vast natural gas reserves underneath.

The companies use what’s called fracking to break up the rock; opponents say the chemicals used in the process can contaminate water and air.

City Council President Darlene Harris said her biggest concern was people’s health. She

said she had heard stories about people being sickened by water contaminated by Marcellus drilling. She said claims by the industry of the thousands of jobs being created wasn’t worth the risk.

“They’re bringing jobs all right,” Harris said. “There’s going to be a lot of jobs for funeral homes and hospitals. That’s where the jobs are. Is it worth it?”

Pennsylvania is the center of the Marcellus Shale activity, with more than 2,000 wells drilled in the past three years and many thousands more planned, as multinational exploration companies invest billions in the pursuit.

About 362 acres, or about 1 percent of the land in Pittsburgh, has been leased for drilling, according to the University of Pittsburgh Center for Social and Urban Research. But no companies are currently drilling in the city or actively pursuing drilling on

the leased properties.

The bill was drafted by the nonprofit Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. It now goes to Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who has ten days to decide if he will pass, veto or not sign the bill. Ravenstahl has indicated he opposes a ban, but had no immediate comment Tuesday, his spokeswoman said. If he vetoes the bill, the council would need six votes to override it; if he doesn’t sign the bill, it becomes law.

Attorneys representing gas companies have said they may sue to challenge the ban because they say drilling is rightly regulated by state and federal environmental protection agencies.

Meanwhile, the Canonsburgbased Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group, called Tuesday’s vote “a blow to the city’s weak financial standing” and an attack on property rights.

Feds expected to ban all alcoholic energy drinks WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration is expected to find that caffeine is an unsafe food additive to alcoholic drinks, essentially banning them, and manufacturers will then be warned that marketing caffeinated alcoholic beverages could be illegal.

The FDA ruling, which could come as soon as this week, “should be the nail in the coffin of these dangerous and toxic drinks,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who has pushed the Obama administration to ban the beverages, said Tuesday.

Federal regulators would not confirm Schumer’s announcement that a ban was imminent.

While there is little known medical evidence that the drinks are less safe than other alcoholic drinks, public health advocates say the drinks can make people feel more alert and able to handle tasks like driving. A Wake Forest University study found that students who combine caffeine and al-

cohol are more likely to suffer alcohol-related injuries than those drinking alcohol without caffeine.

College students have been hospitalized after drinking the beverages, including the popular Four Loko. That beverage 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.

Four states – Washington, Michigan, Utah and Oklahoma – have banned the beverages and other states are considering similar action. Police in Mesa, Ariz., said an “extremely intoxicated” teenager smashed her SUV into a tree Sunday morning after reportedly playing “beer pong” with Four Loko.

Last year the FDA notified more than two dozen manufacturers of caffeinated alcoholic

beverages that it had never specifically approved the addition of caffeine to alcoholic drinks and began studying whether it is unsafe and should be outlawed. The agency noted the mix’s growing popularity among college students and its potential health and safety issues.

The FDA said then it had not reached a conclusion about its safety but cited concerns from state attorneys general from several states who contended the drinks appeal to underage drinkers and encourage reckless behavior.

FDA spokeswoman Siobhan DeLancey would not confirm any upcoming action but said the agency recognizes “this very important public health issue” and will announce the results of its review when it is complete.

The Federal Trade Commission, which would deal with marketing issues, declined to comment.

George W. Bush breaks ground on presidential center in Texas DALLAS (AP) — Former President George W. Bush, joined by former administration officials including a noticeably thinner former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, broke ground Tuesday on his presidential center.

More than 3,000 people, including friends, supporters and former administration officials attended the event under a giant white tent at Dallas’ Southern Methodist University. Outside, there were around 100 protesters joined by a handful of counter-protesters.

“It is hard to believe there is this much excitement about shoveling dirt,” quipped Bush.

The George W. Bush Presidential Center, located on the campus of former first lady Laura Bush’s alma mater, will include a library and a policy institute and is expected to open in February 2013.

“Today’s groundbreaking marks the beginning of a journey,” Bush said. “We take the first step toward the construction of the presidential center, which will be a dynamic hub of ideas and actions, based upon timeless principles.”

Cheney, who used a cane and looked much thinner after having had heart surgery over the summer, introduced the president. The former vice president told the crowd he wasn’t surprised by the “robust sales” of Bush’s book “Decision Points,” which was released last week.

“Two years after your tour in the White House ended, judgments are a little more measured than they were,” Cheney said. “When the times have been tough and critics have been loud, you’ve always said you’ve had faith in history’s judgment. And history is beginning to come around.”

Cheney drew applause when he added, “This may be the only shovel-ready project in America.”

Former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe also attended the groundbreaking, as did former Bush administration officials including former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleisher, former Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former Commerce Secretary Don Evans.

The center, which will be about 227,000 square feet, will be a modern brick and limestone building set amid a Texas-inspired landscape with wildflowers and prairies.

The included policy institute is already working and will focus on education reform, global health, human freedom and economic growth. Its programs include one aimed at empowering women and girls in Afghanistan and a certification program meant to help principals better manage schools.

An exhibit set to run through Feb. 6 at the university’s Meadow’s Museum gives the public its first glimpse into

Bush’s archives, including the bullhorn he used when he visiting ground zero days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the pistol taken from Saddam Hussein when the Iraqi dictator was captured in December 2003.

The presidential library’s permanent exhibit will be centered on themes of freedom, opportunity, compassion and responsibility. The library also will have a “decision theater,” where visitors can hear a set of facts, then try to decide what they would have done.

Bush – largely out of the public eye since leaving office and returning to Texas – has been back in the spotlight with the release of his book last week. He signed copies in Dallas and appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

Travelers at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York go through security screening near where the first Advanced Imaging Technology that was installed at the airport was being demonstrated to the media Oct. 22.

Airport body scans, pat-downs receive more complaints CHICAGO (AP) — An airport traveler who famously resisted a full-body scan and groin check with the words “If you touch my junk, I’ll have you arrested” has become an Internet sensation, tapping into rising frustration over increasingly invasive searches.

John Tyner’s online account – complete with cell-phone video of the encounter – has helped fuel a campaign urging travelers to decline the body scans next week during the busiest travel day of the year.

It also raised questions about the complaints: Are Americans standing up to government overreach or simply whining about the inconvenience of air travel while insisting on full protection from terrorists?

“I think Americans, in their hearts, still feel airport security is just a big show – form over substance,” said Joseph Schwieterman, a Chicago-based transportation expert. “So they’re impatient with strategies they feel are just there to placate political demands rather the genuine security threats.”

Many of the people who

have little tolerance for airport security are the same ones who want the government to work aggressively to prevent terrorist attacks, Schwieterman said.

Long-simmering annoyance among passengers and even plane crews has recently risen to new heights with wider use of full-body scanners, which show a traveler’s physical contours on a computer in a private room removed from security checkpoints. Faces are never shown, and the person’s identity is supposedly not known to the screener reviewing the images.

About 300 of the scanners are in use at 60 U.S. airports.

The Transportation Security Administration is on track to deploy approximately 500 units by the end of the year.

The TSA requires people who decline to use the scanners to submit to pat-downs that include checks of the inside of travelers’ thighs and buttocks.

Top federal officials insist the procedures are safe and necessary sacrifices to ward off terror attacks.

“It’s all about security,” Homeland Security Secretary

Janet Napolitano said. “It’s all about everybody recognizing their role.”

Tyner, a 31-year-old software engineer from Oceanside, Calif., insisted he was not looking for notoriety when he confronted TSA agents last weekend at the San Diego airport.

“I don’t think I did anything heroic,” he said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “I stood up for what I thought was right.”

After Tyner declined to go through the full-body scanner, he refused to submit to a groin check as part of a pat-down. He was thrown out of the airport Saturday after being threatened with a fine and lawsuit.

His confrontation spawned online sales of T-shirts, bumper stickers, hats and even underwear emblazoned with the words, “Don’t Touch My Junk!”

But he does not advocate travelers following his lead, saying he appreciates that most people cannot afford to put expensive trips at risk.

“But people ought to do what their consciences say they should do,” he said. “If civil disobedience is a way they think would work, I think they should do it.”

Hazing does not exemplify good leadership We are not all fit to lead.

Being a leader requires qualities that bring out the best in those they serve.

Regardless of whether the leader is running a nation or a student organization,he or she is responsible for setting positive examples.

Early Monday morning police arrived at the Phi Sigma Kappa house. They were surprised to find members of the fraternity involved in hazing.

Several pledges were found blindfolded and covered in food, which is considered

hazing.

The fraternity has been banned from all activities until further notice.

Bringing additional shock to the situation, the only arrest made since Monday was that of Student Government Association Gov. Ahmad Alashi.

Hazing is a tradition found on many campuses across the nation and has been glamorized in many major motion pictures, such as “Old School,” “Animal House” and “PCU.”

These movies are funny and have been extremely successful; however, leaders of West Virginia University organizations should know better than to be involved in such acts.

The dangers of hazing range from physical to psychological harm.

Alashi, who was arrested for allegedly slapping fraternity pledges in the face, is only facing misdemeanor charges.

This situation harms more than just those involved; it

negatively affects the WVU community as a whole. As an SGA governor, Alashi had to know that hazing was illegal but didn’t speak up or stop the activity.

Instead, he took part in it himself. Leaders are supposed to protect and support their members and those interested in membership, not harm them.

Anyone considering joining a student organization or any other group that requires adequate leadership should evaluate the character of that

leadership prior to joining.

Great leaders are those who allow their organizations to grow while helping their members become better citizens, not those who allow them to commit crimes.

Even though hazing occurs on campuses all over the country, we should be better than that at WVU. Let’s learn from this mistake and use it to educate people on the unfortunate affects of hazing.

Have anything to say about hazing?

Respecting others’ rights essential to campus smoking policy tomas engle columnist

Monday night in the Lincoln Hall theater, one of a series of focus group meetings for President James P. Clements’ Task Force for Tobacco Policy took place. For two hours, 14 students representing extended and off-campus housing voiced their opinions on possible changes to the current WVU smoking policy, including a smoke/tobacco ban across both campuses.

The dialogue was civil and fruitful despite the range of opinions, and a common goal was reached in respecting the rights of smokers and nonsmokers alike with no one group being favored at the expense of the other.

This series of focus groups will put real power in the hands of the students to solve their own problems by brainstorming with others and coming up with realistic and fair solutions to complex issues facing our campus.

The talk was initiated by moderator and sociology Professor Ronald Althouse with the opening statement, “The point is to lay it (smoking policy) out and openly discuss … an issue that won’t go away.”

Dr. Althouse then encouraged the students to state brief initial

concerns on the current smoking policy so that the discussion could be properly steered in those directions.

Senior communication studies major Jhesse Jones, started off the discussion by making the point that any total smoking ban across campus would be “unenforceable and unfair.” Sophomore physics major Scott Ferris maintained that the current debate was a “human rights issue,” and that since the University represents all students, it should not benefit some students at the expense of others.

However, some students expected more of an activist role from the University. Junior mechanical aerospace engineering major Tyler George commented that the “policy should take into consideration where students are on campus” and that aside from (secondhand) smoke, the litter smokers leave behind should also be addressed by the University.

Other points were how a possible ban might affect staff, faculty and guests for sporting events, the impracticality of smoking areas without head cover for bad weather and who would pay for them, let alone who would enforce these possible restrictions.

Also mentioned were the unintended consequences of the ban on the Health Sciences Campus, which pushes smoking patients and staff from the front of the hospital to the sta-

dium entrance. This especially endangers their safety, particularly at night.

A point I brought up was the root cause of this (secondhand) smoke problem and others on campus is the lack of respect and etiquette people have toward each other. One of the striking things I noticed this summer while living in Germany was the civility whenever smokers and non-smokers interacted with each other.

When a non-smoker would ask a smoker in a crowded area to be considerate of those around them, the smoker, in every circumstance I witnessed, complied because the request was polite and not loaded with hysteria or judgment.

While our culture here in Morgantown is very distinct from the passive ethos in Germany, we can still learn a lot from them.

Smokers are often talked down to and treated like misbehaving children with condescending “health education campaigns.” During this debate, I realized smokers need to stop being on the reactionary defense and actually come up with solutions to solve the real problem of secondhand smoke.

Adding an etiquette course to orientation or incorporating it into University 101, would help ease the tension between smokers and non-smokers.

This would also help other problems stemming from im-

Chelsi Baker/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

A sign in front of the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute is one of many put around the Medical Campus in Evansdale. The Health Sciences Center and the rest of the campus are smoke free. polite behavior like leaving class loudly, texting in class, not paying attention while walking and other common courtesies.

A similar program was launched earlier this year at Rutgers University, but the jury is still out on whether or not it will be effective.

It is hard to change bad habits, but it would be easier if etiquette was instilled as part of our culture here on campus.

Like the “One WVU” campaign that says blue and gold are the only colors that matter, respect and courtesy should be an ingrained tradition on campus.

Having this as a part of orientation would help cement etiquette, especially respect and courtesy, as integral parts of the WVU community as a whole. This will let all new students know what they are in for prior to coming here. New students are always welcomed,

but their bad habits are not, so they should be prepared to be called out respectfully by their peers.

If you have any further constructive ideas on how we can respect the rights of both smokers and non-smokers here on campus, please email me at tengle@mix.wvu.edu.

I would especially like to hear from smokers on what solutions they might have for this problem.

Climate change is far scarier than most people think michael levy columnist

This weekend, a couple of economists really pissed me off, and a couple of scientists totally freaked me out.

More on the economists later, but first, why a bit of data from Greenland has me lying awake at night.

A team of American scientists recently found 40 degree water far up the Sermilik Fjord in Greenland underneath chunks of ice that have broken off the Helheim Glacier.

That is yet another sign the planet’s climate is changing even faster than we thought.

Climate change isn’t happening gradually or linearly.

It is accelerating, and that is terrifying.

To understand why, we have to briefly dive into systems theory.

Positive feedback occurs when two or more effects are

DA

mutually reinforcing – x increases y, and y increases x, which then increases y even more and so on.

More tangibly, say a restaurant has a good reputation.

That reputation brings people to the restaurant. They then talk about the restaurant, causing the buzz around it to grow and its reputation improves further. This brings even more people to the restaurant.

Back to Greenland, warmer seawater temperatures in the fjords means faster melting of glaciers.

Faster melting leads to decreased stability of the ice, which leads to caving of huge chunks of ice into the sea.

These caving events can be measured as earthquakes and have more than tripled in frequency in the last 17 years.

As ice melts and collapses, warm water carried north by deep ocean currents reaches further into the fjords, accelerating the melting and destabilizing the ice.

As ice turns to water, it be-

comes less reflective. That means more sunlight is absorbed by the ocean instead of hitting ice and being reflected back into space, meaning ocean temperatures rise even more, and the whole thing accelerates further.

Climate change is fraught with examples of positive feedback loops like this. The more one learns, the scarier it gets.

Methane is 30 times stronger than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. There are huge quantities of methane frozen underground in the arctic tundra. As global temperatures are rising, more than 8 million tons of methane bubbles up from the tundra every year.

As more methane moves from underground into the atmosphere, it increases the greenhouse effect, causing global temperatures to rise, which means ocean temperatures rise and ice melts faster, again accelerating the whole thing.

Scientists used to think the rate of melting ice in Greenland

and Antarctica would cause about a seven-inch rise in sea level this century.

Now, the most cited estimate is about three feet by 2100, but some estimates are much higher.

A three-foot rise in sea levels would be catastrophic.

One sixth of Miami would be submerged. The island nation of the Maldives would completely disappear under the Indian Ocean. Much of New York City, Alexandria, London and Bangkok would be underwater, and what remained would be subject to terrible flooding.

Freshwater supplies around the world would be contaminated by seawater.

And by converting area from reflective ice to absorptive water, it would accelerate the feedback loops discussed above.

It’s those feedback loops that keep me up at night.

Now, to how those economists pissed me off.

I was listening to the audio version of the book “SuperF-

reakonomics: Global Cooling, Patriotic Prostitutes, and Why Suicide Bombers Should Buy Life Insurance,” which was written by a scholarly economist and an economic journalist.

They acknowledge the catastrophic potential of climate change, but then proceed to say it will assuredly be solved by technology, just (so the authors say) as every other problem facing human kind has been.

I see at least two major flaws in their reasoning.

First, there are plenty of problems technology has not been able to solve.

We live in the greatest extinction event of the last 65 million years. Not only has it not been solved by technology, but technology is precisely what caused the problem.

Cancer and child starvation are two good examples. Despite advances in medical and agricultural technology, cancer rates are not declining in the U. S. – they are constant, and

more than 40,000 children die of hunger every day. Clearly, technology is not the cure – all those economists think it is.

Additionally, their reasoning falls to a classic logical trap – the problem of induction.

Induction is the process of going from specific evidence to generalized truth.

For example, suppose you draw three balls from a bag of 20 and all three are green. You might be tempted to think all 20 are green.

If you draw a fourth and fifth and they are also green, you’d feel more confident about that conclusion.

But unless you’ve seen all 20 balls, you can’t know that they’re all green.

So, even if technology had solved every problem that has arisen, there is no way to be sure it will solve problems yet to come.

And there’s good reason to suspect the problems on the horizon – climate change chief among them – differ vastly from those we’ve faced before.

‘Law & Order: SVU’ tackles sexual abuse by melanie hoffman managing editor

In its 12th season, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” is taking a stance to raise awareness about sexual assault across the nation’s college campuses.

In tonight’s episode, “Gray,” which airs at 9 on NBC, the show takes the audience through the experience of four women who were sexually assaulted within Hudson University.

The episode is relatable to college-aged women and deals with conflicts including colleges’ administrations, pregnancy, the buddy system,

walking home alone and alcohol and drugs, among other things.

Christopher Meloni, who plays Detective Elliot Stabler on the show, said the topic was chosen because one in four women ages 16 to 24 will be sexually assaulted.

“They wanted to kind of focus on that kind of gray area of date rape, alcohol, ‘Does no mean no?’ and consenting adults,” he said. The show also explored the “parameters of what’s accepted and acceptable on campuses. It’s a high incidence of rape on college campuses these days.”

The episode opens at Hud-

son University’s “Take Back the Night” event, which helps raise awareness about sexual assault.

West Virginia University has also hosted this event for at least 13 years, said Deb Beazley, Sexual Assault Prevention Education and Response coordinator at WVU. Approximately 90 percent of sexual assaults go unreported, Beazley said, though she did not have a number of those at WVU. “We have a universal reporting system, and the numbers fluctuate year to year,” she said. “The numbers we do get are small, but we know they are higher.”

She added between 90 and 99 percent of sexual assaults involve drugs or alcohol, something Meloni said the show wanted to address.

“It’s the college experience and the college arena,” Meloni said. “It’s the combination of alcohol and maybe stressors and pressures and just being with a lot of people all the time that, you know, lends itself to risky behavior and risky actions.”

Neal Baer, executive producer of “SVU,” said he was surprised it took the show 12 seasons to showcase.

“We’re pretty good at

Edgar Allan Poe, famed poet and author, will come alive in a special reading Thursday night.

WEB

Edgar Allan Poe to come alive with special reading by rachel duryea a&e writer

The West Virginia Humanities Council’s “History Alive!” program will bring Edgar Allan Poe to the public library at the Garlow House today at 6:30 p.m.

The renowned writer and poet will be portrayed by George Bartley.

The “History Alive!” program explores history by producing reenactments of historical figures and provides audiences with the chance to question the people who have shaped history into what it is today.

This performance will outline the tragic events Poe experienced throughout his lifetime. Special emphasis will be on Poe’s connections to West Virginia.

George Bartley has an undergraduate degree in business and is an interpreter for the deaf.

He has interpreted for the University and recently at the rally for then-Senate candidate Joe Manchin with President Bill Clinton.

Bartley has a graduate degree in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature from Mary Baldwin College where he interpreted five years for the American Shakespeare Center.

He worked at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, Va. He has been doing works of Poe for five years, including a

show called “Celebrate Poe: The Ghost of Poe,” but this is the first performance with the West Virginia Humanities Council.

“I thought the days of Poe and Shakespeare were behind me when I moved to West Virginia – then I read in the Encyclopedia of West Virginia History about the connection of some of Poe’s immediate friends to the state,” Bartley said. “ It is just a short jump from being a Shakespeare nerd to a Poe nerd.”

Poe spent almost a year of his life in what is now West Virginia and vacationed every summer at White Sulphur Springs, according to Bartley.

He was influenced by the environment, and when he got older, some of his friends were from Berkeley County.

The man who took him to the hospital in Baltimore, where he died, was from Berkeley County.

Thomas Dunn English was said to be Poe’s bitter rival, and is the motivation for Poe’s “The Cask of Amontillado.”

English was one of the first people to see the value of coal in West Virginia. He moved to the state and became the first mayor of Logan, W.Va. Bartley believes he impersonates Poe because he is “such an intelligent, complex and fascinating character.”

He said he constantly finds new things about Poe and his life for as long as he continues

his research.

Poe’s depth as a person may surprise people who think they know everything about the poet.

Bartley said. “He’s an extremely complex character. I’m sure I could do research of Poe for the rest of my life, and I probably will, and I will still be learning new things about him.”

Bartley said his performances portray a variety of emotions.

“Some of the works of Poe are very sad and very touching and have the ability to move people,” Bartley said. “Then, sometimes, I enjoy the ability to scare people.”

Bartley’s said he is dedicated to making the best atmosphere possible for his particular audience.

“I find out about the group where I’m performing and try to detail the presentation to their needs. But with Poe, fortunately, you can talk about all kinds of things,” Bartley said.

Through these performances, Bartley hopes the audience better understands Poe and his background.

“I hope the audience gets more of an understanding of Poe and especially of history as a whole. The Garlow House is a perfect house for this because it’s a Victorian home. It looks like the kind of home that Poe would have stayed in,” Bartley said. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

The world was supposed to change Wednesday.

It didn’t.

Apple, the technological whiz-kids behind the iPad, iPod and iPhone, posted a cryptic message on its website.

“Tomorrow is just another day. That you’ll never forget.”

The company, known for its secrecy ahead of product launches, did nothing to quell the groundswell of conspiracies and theories as to what the company would announce.

Would it be the next generation iPad? Would it be a new subscription-based music service?

Many “confirmed” that Apple would finally give the kiss of death to the MP3.

“Experts” with “sources familiar with the situation” were quoted everywhere.

Tech analysts wrote up a fury, speculating as to what this announcement could actually be.

No, this wouldn’t be mundane – it would be something the company promised we “wouldn’t forget.”

Surely, it has to be about Apple taking music to “the cloud,” putting individual files on their own servers allowing wireless streaming anywhere to any device.

Evidence was presented everywhere – including Apple’s recent purchase of property in North Carolina for a supposed data farm.

Erica Ogg of CNET seemed convinced this was the argument, drawing on Apple’s latest moves.

“The timing is on par for a cloud announcement: it would fit in with the recent launch of a streaming-only Apple TV released last month

GRAPHIC BY DAVID RYAN

and the expected AirPlay update for iOS devices.”

It was far less exciting.

The Beatles catalogue is now available for download on iTunes.

Surely this news, as groundbreaking as it is, should follow the journalistic principle that the most important information should be higher in the body of this column.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you will discover the strength of living your word and carrying projects to completion. In order to do this, you might need to hop through your share of hoops, as the unexpected runs riot in your daily life -- but you can do it. Many opportunities will appear because of your newfound precision and dedication. If you are single, be wary of romance until spring, when it is more likely to be long-term. Still, really get to know someone before deciding if this is it. If you are attached, you might be more romantically inclined than in many years.

As a result, your special attention tends to heat up the love temperature. ARIES reads you cold.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Pressure builds. You are on top of your game. Be sensitive to a cantankerous boss or higher-up. Don’t look at the situation as power and control games, but rather as insecurity. Avoid playing into this person’s “stuff.” Tonight: Everything works out fine.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HH Take your time moving a project forward. In fact, backtracking might be wise in order to determine if everything is in order. Confusion surrounds a partnership for now, but that could change. Learn the power of the waiting game. Tonight: Vanish for some much-needed private time.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You are direct and know what you want to do. Stay in touch with your feelings, understanding what needs to happen.

Your creativity could be lessened by a

feeling that doesn’t support what you ultimately want. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Focus on each job and accomplishing what you must. Realize that you need to move a project forward. Remain optimistic and direct, despite a lingering feeling that something could go wrong. Evaluate what is happening clearly. Tonight: On top of your game.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Work as a team to accomplish much more of what you want. Though you could be tired of the same issue rearing its ugly head, you must proceed. A fun exchange could help you relax and allow more of your innate creativity to bubble forth. Tonight: Let your hair down.

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops’ continues to intensify action JAKOB POTTS A&E WRITER

“Call of Duty: Black Ops” continues the intensity of its predecessors.

Created by Treyarch Productions and released Nov. 9, the game is the seventh in a series of first-person shooter games that have earned the reputable title as one of the best player vs. player games on the market.

“Call of Duty: Black Ops” is no exception, continuing to intensify online gameplay.

Gamers around the globe can log onto the online network system and play any of the gaming options offered.

From Team Deathmatch, which has teams of players facing head to head in a race to score the most points, to Freefor-All, where every man is for himself, the online play resembles that of Black Ops’ precedents, but brings a new level of intensity through its artillery options.

While some of the guns that

TREYARCH STUDIOS

A soldier wields a gun in the latest ‘Call of Duty’ video game ‘Black Ops.’ have dominated the playing field in previous games are reintroduced in the game, new guns with more power and higher accuracy add some elements of surprise for the gamers of the new series.

A couple of new weapons that spice things up are the RC

car strapped down with remote explosives, a crossbow with exploding arrows and a ballistic knife.

The RC car is a death trap that is enough to bring any gamer’s kill streak to a grinding halt.

With some careful naviga-

tion and perfect timing, the explosive (which is equivalent to that of the popular Claymore) is a sure kill.

The crossbow, although tricky to get used to, has the explosion power comparable to the hand grenade and, when stuck to an opponent, ensures a gruesome and unwelcome death.

The ballistic knife is a useful tool in the sense of killing power and mobility.

While the knife packs enough punch to kill anyone unfortunate enough to be on the business end of it, it’s small and convenient enough to let the player still sprint for a decent amount of time, granted their marathon perk isn’t enabled.

The campaign mode for Black Ops is one of great interest and excitement, as well.

After receiving some complaints about the shortness of “Modern Warfare 2’s” campaign mode, the Black Ops team made the newest edition over 30 percent longer.

They also incorporated historical events, such as com-

bat in Vietnam, the JFK assassination and the Bay of Pigs incident.

The graphics and details appointed to this game have been increased beyond belief. With a feel still similar to the “Modern Warfare 2” game, the team gave the player a feeling of being in the past during the historical missions by fading the color, although during the faded color, quick movements and fast action can cause slight screen distortion, but nothing that will seriously hinder the gameplay.

Networks rush to cover royal wedding NEW YORK (AP) — The timing of Britain’s royal engagement announcement couldn’t have worked out much better for NBC News.

The network had announced, back in April, that it would air a documentary on Prince Charles’ environmental work. Accompanied by an interview of Charles by Brian Williams, the two-hour block of programming was scheduled to air this Friday.

Although Williams had no advanced warning that Charles’ son, Prince William, and girlfriend Kate Middleton would announce their engagement Tuesday, he did think to ask Charles about what advice he’d offer his son about the prospect of a royal wedding.

NBC and other networks rushed to cover the engagement of two royals that some in the news business suggested may hold greater fascination

for Americans than they do for their countrymen.

In addition to Friday’s programming, NBC quickly scheduled a prime-time hour for Wednesday, “William & Kate: A Royal Love Story.” ABC rushed a special edition of “Nightline” about the engagement on Tuesday. CBS News sent Erica Hill to co-anchor “The Early Show” from outside Buckingham Palace on Wednesday.

“I grew up in a New Jersey household with my mom’s commemorative Charles & Diana Royal Wedding coffee mug on our kitchen windowsill,” Williams said. “I think that describes a lot of households in this country.”

“Nightline” had an advantage of an executive producer who hails from Britain, James Goldston, who has been in the United States working for ABC News for five years. He’s constantly asked about the

BEATLES

Continued from page 5 Unfortunately, it isn’t big news. Anyone who ever wanted The Beatles only had to buy a CD, put it in their computer and click “import.”

The announcement wasn’t a game-changer. It didn’t shake up any industries. It wasn’t like the iPad, which has slowed down sales of netbooks and caused a slew of imitators.

It simply made the albums available somewhere else for people to buy. Nothing more, nothing less.

It was, however, a move that showed just how interested and obsessive people are with the company and the pull of the allure surrounding it.

‘SVU’

“But I think, on the other hand ... it hasn’t been talked about a lot until fairly recently. It’s been on the college campus, but it’s been quiet.”

The central message in the show is that alcohol abuse and date rape on campus need to be forefront issues, Baer said.

“As Chris says in the show actually, ‘So we’re just telling kids to keep drinking’ and the counselor says, ‘No, we’re not telling them to do that. We’re telling them to be safe,’” Baer said.

“There are ways to be safer now.

This is a problem that’s just not talked about, and we want that problem to be discussed.” melanie.hoffman@mail.wvu.edu

The flipside for Apple, however, is that it could backfire on them. People expect a lot from their company.

They expect great things, highly stylized things that seem to one-up the competition.

Announcing The Beatles as something people would “never forget” may tarnish the allure of another iPad or combination iPhone, iPad, iPod and portable facial hair grooming system.

Which, even for Apple, may be a little bit of a stretch.

But at least, for a company known for its streamlined products, would actually be something I would “never forget.” david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

Royal Family when he meets people in the U.S., enough to make him think there will be as much or more interest in the wedding here than back home.

The wedding sometime next year has the makings of a huge television event, Goldston said.

“People are very much in the mood for a little escapism right now and there’s nothing more fun than princes and princesses,” he said.

Rumors that the engagement would be happening soon gave “Nightline” a head start in preparing for Tuesday’s special. The show was built around a long report on the romance that reporter Nick Watt has been working on for several weeks. For news organizations, it is like a happier version of obit preparation, which involves preparing stories to run when someone prominent dies.

ABC is also sending “Good

Morning America” weekend anchor Bianna Golodryga to cover the story.

Already, executives at CBS News have met to map out a plan for Royal Wedding coverage, said David Friedman, executive producer of “The Early Show.”

They’ll need to scout sites for locations near the wedding and make sure experts are booked.

Producers at “The Early Show” were running down their morning lineup at 6:15 a.m. Tuesday when word came from the network’s London office: There’s an engagement.

Staff members scrambled to find people to talk about the couple and restructured the show with 45 minutes’ notice, he said.

“American viewers love stories about the royals,” FriedAP man said. “They always have Britain’s Prince William and his fiancee Kate Middleton pose for the media at St. James’s Palace in London after announcing their marriage, London, Tuesday and they always will.”

QUESTIONABLE CALLS

Leaders not surprised by NCAA Tournament invite

Which WVU head coach is most important to the success of his or her program?

By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer

by tony dobies

BY BRIAN GAWTHROP

BY BRIAN KUPPELWEISER

by matthew peaslee

West Virginia women’s soccer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown is the most important coach at WVU to her program’s success.

The Mountaineers’ lateseason run proves just that.

With another win, she will have led her team to a schoolrecord 19 wins in 2010 – just adding to a legacy many don’t even know about.

She’s not appreciated as much as she should be. In her career, Izzo-Brown has a 65-percent winning percentage. In soccer, that means more, considering ties. In 15 years, she has lost just 86 games. In contrast, she has won or tied 252 games. In her 15 years, never once has IzzoBrown had a losing record.

What is more impressive than winning percentage is the way Izzo-Brown has built up her program. She has done something no other coach at WVU can say they’ve mirrored. She has taken a program from its inception and made it a Big East power. Even men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins can’t state claim to that.

But what is more impressive is the product on the field. Not only has Izzo-Brown recruited some of the top talent in the area and in Canada, but she has put together a lineup that is versatile and creative. Defenders have the ability to score, and offenders play defense. Anyone in that starting lineup can create and make plays.

That shows a true coach and leader. Izzo-Brown has recruited top talent and molded that into a great team.

That’s the mark of an important coach – and one who deserves more recognition for a stunning career.

There isn’t a coach at West Virginia more important to his or her team than Bob Huggins.

Just ask the players.

In four short years, the Mountaineer men’s basketball head coach has brought the program to places it has never been before.

The team has been named Big East Conference Champions, been two wins away from a national championship and have won the second-most games in any three-year span in the program’s history, second only to the days of legend Jerry West.

Still, don’t forget that Huggins is still only in his fourth season. Most of his success hasn’t even come from players he recruited.

But that is what has made the coach so special to his team. He has transformed his players, both mentally and physically, into his type of players, and he has won despite any injuries or issues his team has endured.

Yet, what makes Huggins the most successful isn’t his ability to draw up a play or run a drill. No, the best aspect of Huggins’ coaching resume is his ability to motivate his players, train them harder than they ever imagined and ultimately bypass their potential as basketball players.

More importantly, they learn how to be productive together. Under Huggins, leaders learn how to lead, and role players know when to step up. That’s what made last season’s Final Four team so successful.

He’s one of the best coaches in the country, and without a doubt the most important to his team at WVU.

There are multiple answers for this question, but West Virginia women’s basketball coach Mike Carey is the most important to his team’s success.

Prior to Carey becoming the head coach of the Mountaineers in 2002, the team struggled as they had just one winning season since 1993.

Since Carey’s arrival from Salem College (W.Va.), WVU has had a .500 or better record every year since 2002.

Overall, WVU holds a 180107 record under Carey.

The fiery and feisty coach is a talented recruiter, who has a passion for the game that is unrivaled by others.

Last season, Carey led WVU to its most impressive season in almost two decades, as the Mountaineers finished with a 29-6 record.

Furthermore, the team made it to the Big East Conference Tournament title game as well as the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Some could see the team’s NCAA Tournament performance as a disappointment, but Carey was leading a team that didn’t have any seniors.

This season, the Mountaineers may be on their way to becoming the best team in program history.

WVU starts the season at No. 11 in the nation, and some view them as having a legitimate opportunity to challenge Connecticut in the Big East.

All of this remains to be seen, but it is clear that the team’s success can be contributed to Carey, who has been honored as Big East Coach of the Year twice in his tenure.

If I was a high school athlete, I would want to go to a school that treated me like I was part of the family.

Many coaches at West Virginia may mention the homestyle atmosphere in Morgantown, but really only one emphasizes it like no other: WVU women’s head soccer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

Izzo-Brown has been at the helm of the West Virginia women’s soccer team since its inception back in 1996, so it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about the program.

Covering the team for a year helped let me see firsthand just how committed Izzo-Brown is to instilling a family and team relationship.

She instills in her girls the importance of an education as an athlete.

This mentality is attractive to not only the prospective student, but also the existing family, as well. Hence, the strong relative bond that breeds success.

Talent can only take you so far.

Trust in the guidance brought forth by the head coach is what separates quality teams for lesser teams.

Her players respect her and feed off her energy. This year’s media guide said it best: “Izzo-Brown demands fortitude in every aspect of life.”

Because she treats the off-the-field approach as equally important as on-thefield prowess, Izzo-Brown is the most important WVU head coach who is the key to her team’s success.

Carey said. “She hasn’t practiced in a long time. Just having her on the floor will make us a better team.”

Miles will be charged with the task of limiting turnovers, something the Mountaineers as a whole could not accomplish in its season opener. WVU had 19 turnovers against Loyola.

“It has to mean something to you when you turn the ball

over,” Carey said. “If you turn it over on offense, don’t go down and let your man score on defense. Don’t make two mistakes in a row.

“I can accept one mistake, but not two in a row.”

Continued from page 10 Madsen attributes some of the road troubles to the team playing at night. All of the Mountaineers’ road games this season have been nighttime starts.

“We just sit at a hotel all day and don’t really do anything,” Madsen said. “I’ve caught myself not really thinking about the game, and just chilling and finally realizing the game is close, and not being there mentally.”

Madsen said one way he’s learned to stay focused is to look over plays, tape and notes about the game while relaxing in the hotel.

West Virginia will travel back to Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium Saturday to try to win a second-straight game there.

“Maybe we can make amends to that this weekend and get back on track,” Stewart said. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

When the NCAA men’s soccer tournament bracket was announced Monday, joy and jubilation filled the room at the WVU Coliseum Club.

The selection committee deemed the Mountaineers worthy for the first time since 2007, when WVU made a run to the Sweet 16.

Both players and coaches cheered and clapped when they saw the team’s name on the screen.

Three individuals, however, sat still with smiles on their faces.

Goalkeeper Zach Johnson, defender Dan Hagey and head coach Marlon LeBlanc showed their experience with that subtle reaction.

“For us, it is just great to be back in the tournament,” LeBlanc said.

The fifth-year head coach of the Mountaineers had a feeling the team would find its way into the tournament with a 107-2 record.

“I felt good that we were going to be in and get a first-round home game,” LeBlanc said.

For Johnson, it was nice to feel the jubilation of participating in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007.

“The last two years we missed out on it and didn’t get to experience this type of atmosphere,” he said. “It is something that is really exciting and makes you appreciate where we are at.”

Johnson was a key piece to

that Sweet 16 run.

He recorded a school record 13 shutouts as just a redshirt freshman replacing all-American Nick Noble.

With that postseason experience in the back of his mind, Johnson said it is important not to look ahead.

“It is more of an excited nervous,” Johnson said. “It all comes down to one game; until you are knocked out – each game can be your last.”

Johnson was not one to shy away from his anticipation for Thursday when the Mountaineers host Akron at 7 p.m.

“I’d play right now if I could, but we have to wait until Thursday,” Johnson said.

LeBlanc learned from his team’s 2007 run, but said each year is different.

“The 2007 team was full of seniors, and this team has a lot of underclassmen,” LeBlanc said.

It is because of this that Johnson, who is the only Mountaineer on the roster to play in an NCAA Tournament game, expects to be riddled with questions by his teammates.

Johnson, though, knows exactly how to answer them.

“It is all just a game still, and that is how we have to approach it,” Johnson said. “You just have to come out and play.

It’s just another team, and you have to come out with a little bit of desperation. You have to give all you have got, because there may not be another game tomorrow.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

Game-winning field goal completes comeback for South Florida K Bonani

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

Perhaps no other moment in sports is more tense than a game-winning field goal.

On Saturday, South Florida head coach Skip Holtz experienced that first hand.

Maikon Bonani nailed a winning field goal in overtime to down Louisville 24-21 Saturday. It was the first win at Louisville for USF in program history.

“It was a very excited locker room,” Holtz said. “The players were really excited, and they accomplished something special.”

However, for Bonani, to be a part of that jubilation was no easy road. He missed the entire 2009 campaign suffering a series of broken vertebrae in a non-football related accident.

It has been an uphill battle for Bonani, but his performance in 2010 shows signs of no lingering symptoms. The

JOYAL

Continued from page 10 conference, Kerri Butler, a topnotch backline, and a group of diverse midfielders and forwards who could put up points, Izzo-Brown knew the results were unacceptable.

After the South Florida game, it has been noted the head coach made some sort of speech, a rallying call for her team to turn the season around. With Big East competition about to reach full swing, Izzo-Brown needed to do something.

The delivery of the speech is uncertain, whether it was comparable to Bill Stewart’s “leave no doubt” speech or more reminiscent of Bluto’s rallying call in the 1978 cult classic “Animal House” is unknown. One thing is for certain, the team responded.

Since the USF game, the team won a program-best 14-straight games, including 12 against Big East competition, most notably a 1-0 win over South Florida in the Big East title game.

After capturing its second conference title in the program’s history, West Virginia was awarded a No. 3 seed and carried its No. 7 ranking with it to the NCAA Tournament.

West Virginia swept com-

Lake Wales, Fla., native has hit 85 percent of his field goals and went 3-for-4 against the Cardinals Saturday.

“Last year, he was a sophomore guy who had a broken back,” Holtz said. “We didn’t think he would kick again.”

Bonani converted a pair of field goals in the second quarter and another in the third quarter.

In the end, he earned the honor of being hoisted off the Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium field, making a field goal from 37 yards out.

The Bulls will now face a Pittsburgh team that has the top kicker in the Big East Conference. Dan Hutchins is a player Skip Holtz has admired for quite some time.

“With the kicking game, he is becoming so specialized he does a great job, and I think (he) is a real weapon for them,” Holtz said. matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

petition at home to advance to the Sweet 16 against former Big East foe, Boston College.

Over its incredible run, West Virginia has developed a confidence, and swagger, and believes it can beat anyone who steps on the field with them.

Remember, as the fall sports seasons wind down, arguably the most impressive team on the WVU campus wasn’t playing in front of thousands of screaming fans on a game to game basis – something it deserved.

Although Izzo-Brown’s speech may not carry the lure of Tim Tebow’s postgame speech last year, which the University of Florida denoted a plaque to outside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, it did the job for her team.

The West Virginia women’s soccer team rallied to make something of its season, reached out and grabbed its goal of winning the conference championship.

As the team reaches the verge of the most successful season in WVU women’s soccer history, it’s safe to say the team at least provides the rest of the athletic programs at WVU the example of how to finish a season strong, while showing all of us if you want something bad enough, reach out and grab it. brad.joyal@mail.wvu.edu

Wednesday November 17, 2010

BRAD JOYAL SPORTS WRITER

Women’s soccer a bright spot this fall Each Monday, when students start their week of classes, there is always a common collaboration. Discussions gather information, often putting the pieces of the puzzle together to figure out what another weekend in Morgantown brought to the table.

What party was bumping, who hooked up with whom or who made an idiot of themselves on the dance floor are the topics we have all laughed about this fall as we head into Thanksgiving Break.

For those who follow sports at WVU, this fall has brought an uneasy feeling with the football team’s inconsistent season. Although you haven’t seen them on ESPN, are unlikely to have read about them on message boards or your friends haven’t filled you in, it’s been the West Virginia women’s soccer team that has been the most successful program at WVU this fall.

Entering the season, there was the hype for the team to be at its best since the 2007 team won the school’s first Big East Championship and advanced to the Elite Eight. The results head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown had hoped for didn’t come quickly though, as West Virginia started the season 4-4-1.

After its only Big East loss, a 2-1 defeat to Marquette, the team returned home to host South Florida. The conversations of whether or not the Mountaineers would be able to reach the NCAA championships had begun, and once again the team wasn’t able to beat a Big East competitor, tying USF 0-0.

Izzo-Brown saw more in her team, and realized the potential of her team. With one of the most solid goalkeepers in the

Miles will play vs. Dukes

by Michael Carvelli Sports Writer

When the No. 10 West Virginia women’s basketball team takes the floor for its game tonight against Duquesne, the Mountaineers will have arguably their best player on the court for the first time this season.

After missing the season opener against Loyola (Md.) while recovering from preseason right wrist surgery, senior point guard Sarah Miles will make her return to the starting lineup against the Dukes tonight at 7 at the WVU Coliseum “She’s been cleared by the doctor and the trainers. I’m pretty much the one who held

“She’s going to be rusty, but just having her on the floor will make us a better team.”

Miles’ return to the starting lineup will likely move fresh-

man guard Brooke Hampton to the bench after running the point in the season opener, finishing with four assists, and, more importantly, no turnovers.

“She understands the game a little bit better than some typical freshman,” Carey said.

Carey said he will play both point guards at the same time tonight, especially considering the style of defense the Dukes play.

“They do a lot of different things defensively,” Carey said.

“They’re one of the teams that keep changing defensively, trying to get you confused on offense. It’s good that we have

Mountaineers make no changes to cure road woes

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

West Virginia’s road troubles under head coach Bill Stewart started all the way back in his second game as head coach.

On Sept. 6, 2008, the Mountaineers went to East Carolina as the eighth-ranked team in the nation and lost 24-3 to the Pirates.

Since that point, WVU hasn’t been the same in the opposing team’s stadium.

“It’s not anything that we’re doing wrong,” said offensive lineman Joey Madsen. “We just need to be a little bit more focused.”

Under Stewart, the Mountaineers have had their share of road troubles. In his three years at the helm, WVU is 5-8 away from Milan Puskar Stadium. He has only beaten two teams on the road that have finished with a winning record. Rutgers finCHELSI BAKER/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM ished 9-4 last season. UConn West Virginia running back Noel Devine gets tackled out of bounds by an LSU defender in the Mountaineers’ loss at LSU on Sept. 25. was 8-5 in 2008. Those teams

Stewart has lost to away from home had a combined .500 record.

“The (home) team is never out of it,” said senior slot receiver Jock Sanders. “We had UConn 14-0. We thought we had them. But anything can happen.

Their crowd got into it, and they made a few big plays, and they were right back. That’s the scary thing.”

On the other hand, the Mountaineers have an 18-2 record at home and a 2-1 record at neutral sites under Stewart.

Prior to its loss to Syracuse in October, WVU had a home winning streak of 12 games.

“Most people, generally speaking, have a better record at home. That is why the home crowd is so special to you and to the young men playing out in the arena,” Stewart said. “We have done OK on the road. We have won some big games and lost some heartbreakers.”

Mountaineers’ bench play critical to team’s success in 2010, players say Depth, versatility gives Bob Huggins options by brian kuppelweiser sports writer

While readership as a whole has fallen over the years, newspapers remain a valuable source of information for millions of Americans across the country. According to some estimates, over 35 million buy a newspaper everyday for reasons that vary.

Some subscribe to the newspaper for the coupons and flyers, others for the little community interest stories tucked inside. Some simply prefer print to screen and enjoy being able to read the newspaper whenever and wherever they like. Whatever the reason, newspapers are here to stay.

284 Prospect St. ■ 304-293-4141

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins hopes he saw a sign of things to come Friday in the Mountaineers’ seasonopening win against Oakland.

Eight players came off WVU’s bench shot 8-of-11 from the field to score 34 points, while hauling in 14 rebounds in the Mountaineers’ win.

West Virginia also hauled in 14 rebounds and dished out eight assists, while only committing three turnovers.

“We need to play with depth this season,” Huggins said.

“Hopefully, you find somebody who is making shots.”

WVU’s bench outscored the Golden Grizzlies 20-2 in the first half and 34-12 overall in the contest.

Point guard Joe Mazzulla gave credit to Huggins for using the team’s bench players appropriately in the matchup.

“Huggs did a great job of putting us in at the right time, and we just did what we were supposed to do,” Mazzulla said. “We did what bench players are supposed to do.”

Mazzulla led the bench with 15 points while finishing with seven assists, while guards Dalton Pepper had 10 points and Jonnie West had nine.

The biggest benefit of the depth, Huggins said, is the competition it creates between the players battling for playing time.

“There will be a very healthy competition for playing time with Pepper and Jonnie,” Huggins said. “If one of them comes in and doesn’t have very good practices, they will have a tough time getting playing time.”

Mazzulla played the most minutes off the bench Friday with 21, while West ended with 18 minutes.

chelsi baker/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia’s Joe Mazzulla drives past an Oakland defender in the Mountaineers’ season opener last Friday.

Pepper, Cam Thoroughman and Dan Jennings also played over 10 minutes.

“The bench is going to be so important for us this year because it means the starter can take a little bit of a breather,” said WVU forward Kevin Jones.

“We are going to need guys to knock down shots in certain situations this year. We can keep rotating in and out to keep everyone fresh.”

Forward Deniz Kilicli, who made the transition from role player to starter this season, said the most important part of being a bench player is having the correct attitude.

“Everyone wants to play, and everyone wants to win,”

Kilicli said. “It doesn’t matter if you start or come off the bench, we just want to do whatever it takes to win.”

Mazzulla said the team can’t be selfish, especially because playing time will vary gameto-game, as different players bring different skills to the floor.

The team also knows that in order to repeat its success of last season, it must use its depth to its advantage.

“It is important to have good bench play because if you want to be a good team, you have to have a good bench,” Kilicli said. “We have a great bench.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu
