New governors to take over BOG seats by erin fitzwilliams associate city editor
Omar Wazir, senior biology major, and Aman McWilliams, sophomore economics major, said they will accept two vacant seats on the Student Government Association’s Board of Governors. Gov. Ahmad Alashi and Gov. Garrett Robinson resigned from their positions on the BOG Wednesday due to “personal matters.” Wazir said he will continue Robinson’s platform of health and wellness, and McWilliams said he would continue Alashi’s platform of diversity and international students.
During SGA elections in February, Wazir received 1,964 of the student vote, and McWilliams received 1,939, putting them in the 17th and 18th seats of the 15-member BOG. The sixteenth seat was held by Gov. Joe Harmon who took office after Madison Andreini, a junior industrial engineering major, resigned from her position. “I think it will be hard work to catch up since I haven’t been with the BOG yet this year,” Wazir said. Wazir has been serving as SGA’s health and wellness chair and said he would continue Robinson’s initiative of promoting health on campus.

McWilliams, who has been serving as SGA’s director of diversity, said he would like to make the transition to the BOG as “normalized” as possible. “My platform will be diver-
sity. There is a lack of valuable discussion about diversity at this University,” McWilliams said. McWilliams said he has been lecturing about diversity in University 101 classes this semester. McWilliams said he does not plan on focusing only on international students but wants to do something “entirely different.” “I’m excited to be a different kind of governor. Most of the governors on SGA do much of the work themselves,” he said. “I want to give students the incentive to get truly involved and want to do the work.” The vacant seats will be filled

at the Dec. 1 SGA meeting, said SGA Vice President Ron Cheng. Cheng said he and SGA President Chris Lewallen will discuss what they expect of the two new governors by meeting with them privately. “If they don’t think they can meet them (expectations) then I hope they do not accept,” he said. “They have been executives, so no training wheels for them, they’re going to have to start right away.” Robinson resigned Wednesday when news reports released details of a DUI arrest in October. He refused to take a preliminary breath test during a police stop, according to police reports.

BROOKE CASSIDY/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
West Virginia trailed 2-0 within the first five minutes of Thursday’s first round NCAA Tournament game against Xavier. That’s when the Mountaineers turned up the pressure. Junior Franck Tayou scored three-consecutive goals for his first career hat-trick in the 4-2 victory over the Musketeers. Sophomore Uwem Etuk added another goal later to seal the victory. The Mountaineers move on to face Akron in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Check out more from Thursday’s game against Xavier on PAGE 10.
Nearly $1M awarded to safety and health extension by Emily Spickler Correspondent
The Occupational Safety and Hazard Administration, a branch of the U.S. Department of Labor, has granted West Virginia University’s Safety and Health Extension $880,000 to help educate small business workers in identifying and preventing work-related hazards. OSHA chose WVU to receive this grant due to a previously successful grant history and because it is one of OSHA’s 29 education centers nationwide. “WVU Safety and Health Extension possesses faculty with expertise that covers the entire
spectrum of health and safety,” said Brandon Takacs, principal investigator and writer of the grant and Extension clinical assistant professor at WVU, in an e-mail. “Over the past couple of years, there have been the additions of new standards and new safety and health programming and training requirements within existing standards,” Takacs said. These hazards exist in fields like logging, mining, construction, oil and petroleum industries. “(OSHA) is not connected to any one industry, but focuses on small business and high
risk,” said Mark Fullen, coinvestigator of the grant and director of WVU’s Safety and Health Extension. OSHA Region III will utilize the grant. The region includes West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC and Delaware. There are 10 regions total. The hazard prevention and identification training will run from Oct. 1, 2010 to Sept. 31, 2011. “OSHA issues its annual inspection plan under the SiteSpecific Targeting program, which helps the agency direct enforcement resources to high-hazard workplaces
where the highest rates of injuries and illnesses occur,” Takacs said. The main goal of the training is to prevent hazards on site, especially using tools available. “About one-third of the class time is spent doing hands-on activities,” Fullen said. This training has existed before the grant’s existence and the methods are the same, but the approaches used now are much more financially feasible for small businesses, which WVU Safety and Health Extension defines as less than

Full enrollment increases from fall 2009 by melanie hoffman and jessica leppar
BROOKE CASSIDY/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
Alashi resigned Wednesday due to his involvement in an alleged hazing Monday morning. Alashi was alledgedly slapping pledges of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity who were blindfolded and covered in food, according to police reports. Alashi was once impeached from the BOG in March for using a University-sponsored email to solicit votes, which is in violation of SGA’s elections code. During an appeals process, Alashi’s e-mail was determined to not have influenced the election by SGA’s Judicial Board of Appeals and he was reinstated.
Approximately 399 more students are enrolled at West Virginia University’s main campus in fall 2010 than fall 2009, increasing all three campus’ total to 32,351. Noted increases lie within freshmen, transfer students, international students and students of color, said Brenda Thompson associate vice president for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and Services. This is the largest first-time freshman class to enter WVU, with more than 6,000 students, a 7-percent increase. In the future, Thompson said the University wants to target a freshmen class of between 4,900 and 5,000 students to comfortably accommodate students in residence halls and classrooms. “We are formulating new
work groups across campus who will begin developing plans that will address student success and how we can help more of our students complete their degree,” she said via e-mail. Students were forced to find off-campus housing at the beginning of this semester because residence halls, which hold approximately 5,858 mostly freshmen and transfer students, were full. Thompson said the academic programs attract prospective students and their families to WVU first. “Once they’ve visited campus, the complete package of a first-class academic institution coupled with our warm, and welcoming environment, often wins them over and WVU becomes their first choice,” she wrote. Transfer students increased by 144, which totals 1,104

SGA releases governors’ platform evaluations BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR
Ron Cheng, West Virginia University Student Government Association vice president, said he is making good on his promise to release public evaluations holding the Board of Governors accountable for the work on their platforms. Each of the 15 BOG members and the two Athletic Council members received an evaluation last week based on eight criteria, such as the ability to start a project, the ability to follow through a project and the ability to work with other members of SGA. Cheng gave each member scores ranging from a high “excellent” to a low “satisfactory,” which spans their work from August to October. No member received a “poor” rating because they have been working since March and had time to complete the initial goals of their platforms, Cheng said. The next public evaluation will be released in January and will be graded more harshly because the members know what is expected of them now, he said. “If they don’t show me they are working by the next evaluation, then they will be given a poor rating,” Cheng said. During a meeting earlier this month, Cheng announced the three governors
who scored the highest on the evaluations as Gov. Ryan Campione, Gov. Rashad Bates and Gov. Jason Bailey. Bates said he was surprised when Cheng identified him for his work on reforming the WVUp All Night program. “I feel very, very humbled by it,” Bates said. “I just look at individual accolades as a goal of being a governor.” Bailey, whose platform is student organizations, said he appreciates the evaluation process because it keeps him and his colleagues focused on their mission of representing the students. “I know so many of the other governors are working hard,” Bailey said. “At times, some are working harder than me, and at other times, I’m working harder than them. It’s good to see our work doesn’t go unnoticed.” Cheng said each round of evaluations will encompass that particular period. He is considering releasing an evaluation near the end of the administration’s term on the work they completed all year. Evaluation criteria: Initiative: The ability to start a project and do so independently. Commitment: The ability to follow through with a project. Cooperativeness: The ability to work with other

members of SGA. Forethought: The ability to recognize the consequences of their actions. Professionalism: The ability to act in a professional mannerism. Efficiency: The ability to do something without taking too much time/resources. Effectiveness: The ability to maximize project value. Mentorship: The ability to include and involve their interns. Board of Governors zz Former-Gov. Ahmad Alashi Platform: International student issues Alashi received the highest ratings for cooperativeness and mentorship because Cheng said he did a good job of communicating with other organizations and his intern. He received low ratings for efficiency and effectiveness because Cheng said he needed to “understand the potential of SGA independently.” He needed to learn the different officials related to his platform, such as members within the Office of International Students and Scholars, Cheng said. Alashi has since resigned from his position on the BOG. zz Gov. Olivia Audia Platform: Sustainability Audia received average scores for all criteria except in cooperativeness, professionalism and mentorship, in which she scored the highest ratings. Cheng said Audia has made progress in collecting data for her platform and will “blossom” next spring with the results. He said she couldn’t receive an excellent in too many of the criteria because she is too dependent on the Office of Sustainability. zz Gov. Jason Bailey Platform : Student organizations Cheng said Bailey was one of the three governors who scored the highest on the evaluation. “Bailey is just straight-up badass,” Cheng said. “Everything he says he will do, he follows up on.” Bailey received an “excellent” in every criteria except forethought because Cheng said he could have planned the Student Organizations Fair better because it was not as effective as it could have been. zz Gov. Rashad Bates Platform: Reforming WVUp All Night Bates made high scores in every category except initiative, in which he made a low score. He was one of the three governors who scored the highest, Cheng said. Cheng said he does well with WVUp All Night and fights for themes that students care about, such as carnival or casino themes. zz Gov. Evan Bonstetter Platform: Increasing undergraduate scholarships Bonstetter made an “excellent” score in cooperativeness and professionalism and

scored average on the remaining categories. He received a low score for effectiveness because he has yet to publish the information collected on undergraduate scholarships, Cheng said. zz Gov. Megan Callaghan Platform: Recruitment and retention rates Callaghan received a high score in all categories except commitment, forethought and mentorship, in which she scored average. Callaghan has done a lot of work engaging students in SGA through Student Connections and has been a vital part of the MountieRide program, Cheng said. Gov. Ryan Campione Platform: Reforming the overnight visitation policy with the residence halls Campione was one of the highest scoring governors with an “excellent” score in all categories except mentorship, in which he scored average. Cheng said Campione has gone “above and beyond” for work on his platform and has been publishing results he is discovering through various meetings with administration. zz Gov. Joe Harmon Platform: Transportation Harmon received average scores for all categories except professionalism, in which he scored “excellent.” He scored low in effectiveness and made a non-score for mentorship because he does not have an intern. Harmon always does a good job answering students’ questions on transportation and the PRT and has become an expert on the topic, Cheng said. Harmon has yet to publish results from meetings he has been attending, Cheng said. zz Gov. Kyle Hess Platform: Increasing technology on campus Hess made average scores for all categories except initiative, in which he scored an “excellent.” He made a low score in cooperativeness and mentorship because he needs to communicate more with other members of SGA and attend SGA functions, Cheng said. Cheng said Hess is doing good work in his platform while juggling his job within the advertising department of The Daily Athenaeum. zz Vice Chair Ali Mols Platform: Advising Mols made high scores for cooperativeness, forethought and professionalism and low scores for efficiency and effectiveness. Cheng said Mols does a good job as vice chair and managing the BOG but needs to focus on her role as governor, as well. She needs to publish the information she has been collecting related to her platform, he said. zz Former-Gov. Garrett Robinson Platform: Health and wellness Robinson received average scores for all categories except cooperativeness and mentorship in which he scored an “excellent.” Robinson needed to do better with communicating with other platforms for his
activities. He was very instrumental in his work for WVU’s Farmers’ Market, Cheng said. Robinson has since resigned from the position. zz Gov. Allison Rollins Platform: Club sports Rollins made high scores in all categories except efficiency and effectiveness, in which she made an average score. Rollins received a non-score for mentorship because she does not have an intern. Rollins did a good job putting together a club sports contact list but needs to play more of a role in her platform, Cheng said. zz Gov. Charlie Russell Platform : Community relations Russell made low scores for commitment, efficiency and effectiveness. He scored high for professionalism and an average for the remaining categories. Russell has a lot of projects in progress, such as helping the community by shoveling snow and will be more involved next semester, Cheng said. zz Gov. Josh Snyder Platform: Improving student housing Snyder made average scores for all categories except initiative and forethought, in which he made an “excellent.” Cheng said Snyder has a lot of influence over the BOG because it respects and follows what he does. “If you can convince (Snyder) to do something, the BOG will do it.” Snyder has done a lot of work on code enforcement, Cheng said. zz Gov. Tracey Speilman Platform: Campus safety Speilman received low scores for all categories except professionalism, in which she scored an “excellent.” Cheng said Speilman got too involved with her candidacy for Homecoming queen and lost sight of her governorship. She needs to do more work within her platform or she will receive a poor review by the next evaluation, Cheng said. Athletic Council zz Athletic Council Riley Dunn Dunn received high scores in all categories except forethought and effectiveness, in which he scored a “satisfactory.” Dunn does a good job with all the tasks he sets out to accomplish, Cheng said. He scored low in forethought because he backtracked on basketball seating when it was under discussion, Cheng said. All the tasks Dunn sets he accomplishes, he said. zz Athletic Council Jarred Zuccari Zuccari received average scores for all categories except initiative, efficiency and effectiveness, in which he scored low. Cheng said Zuccari’s research is good, but he needs to be better in publishing his findings. Zuccari has also been recognized for getting various items signed by WVU teams to donate to charity.
but at no cost to companies with the grant,” Fullen said. “OSHA acknowledges that training in small businesses is underserved.” The grant is hoping to reach at least 600 workers each of its four years. It costs approximately $500 to train each worker. “This grant will let us reach
people now that we couldn’t reach before,” Fullen said. According to the census date on occupational fatalities, West Virginia had 41 as a preliminary number for 2009. Region three recorded 407, compared to Region seven at 353.

MSHA hears testimony on coal dust rule CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Requiring mine operators to do more to control explosive coal dust will improve safety and prevent explosions, people in the coal industry told a federal regulatory panel Thursday. Dust in intake air tunnels would have to contain at least 80 percent pulverized stone or other inert material under a regulation proposed by the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Current regulations require 65 percent inert materials in intakes and 80 percent in tunnels used to remove dirty air. MSHA proposed the change after the Upper Big Branch mine explosion that killed 29 miners and injured two others April 5. The agency blamed the explosion on methane gas and coal dust in a preliminary report issued just days later. Government studies have shown adding more inert material to intakes can reduce the risk of explosions. MSHA maintains the change will better protect the more than 47,000 men and women working in 415 underground coal mines in the country. “MSHA has the full support of the United Mine Workers,”

union representative Linda Raisovich-Parsons said. Mines already are following the 80 percent rule, which MSHA put in place on an emergency basis in September. Newly mined intakes have to meet the standard now and mines have until Nov. 22 to dust older sections. “In speaking to my fellows back here, there’s a lot of rock dusting going on,” RaisovichParsons said. UMW members made up about a third of the two dozen people who attended the hearing, which MSHA official Patricia Silvey said was the best attended of four held across the country. West Virginia mines have been required to meet the new standard under an executive order issued by former Gov. Joe Manchin shortly after the explosion. “I fully support the MSHA rule. I think it’s a long time needed,” said Carl Egnor, a member of the West Virginia Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety. MSHA inspectors have been instructed to start checking mines for compliance with the

new standards during regular inspections, Silvey said. There are some concerns. Miner Brian Seabolt, an electrician at the Pinnacle Mine in Wyoming County, said he’s worried the expense of extra rock dusting will cost jobs. “We have a big mine,” Seabolt said. West Virginia Coal Association lobbyist Chris Hamilton chastised MSHA for focusing on rock dusting areas long considered safe while restricting many mines to use mechanical scrubbers to remove coal dust as it’s produced. “That’s a much greater concern,” Hamilton said. So, too, is a practice of limiting most mines to 20-foot-deep cuts, Hamilton said. Doing so forces miners to move heavy equipment more frequently, increasing the danger that they’ll be crushed against a wall, he said. At the stalking trial, the woman testified that she and Shrader had dated in high school, but Shrader refused to accept their breakup. One July 1975 day, after she refused his orders to get into his car, Shrader returned to her home with a rifle. Blasting his way through a locked door, Shrader fatally shot Howard Adams Jr., a family friend who was visiting while on leave from the military. The woman said her mother was fatally wounded while trying to flee. The daughter ran to a neighbor’s house, where Shrader pursued her and continued firing. He had wounded the neighbor’s son before he was restrained by others before police arrived.

Airports consider congressman’s call to ditch TSA ATLANTA (AP) — In a climate of Internet campaigns to shun airport pat-downs and veteran pilots suing over their treatment by government screeners, some airports are considering another way to show dissatisfaction: Ditching TSA agents altogether. Federal law allows airports to opt for screeners from the private sector instead. The push is being led by a powerful Florida congressman who’s a longtime critic of the Transportation Security Administration and counts among his campaign contributors some of the companies who might take the TSA’s place. Furor over airline passenger checks has grown as more airports have installed scanners that produce digital images of the body’s contours, and the anger intensified further when TSA added a more intrusive style of pat-down recently for those who opt out of the full-body scans. Some travelers are using the Internet to organize protests aimed at the busy travel days next week surrounding Thanksgiving. For Republican Rep. John Mica of Florida, the way to make travelers feel more comfortable would be to kick TSA employees out of their posts at the ends of the snaking security lines. This month, he wrote letters to nation’s 100 busiest airports asking that they request private security guards instead. “I think we could use half the personnel and streamline the system,” Mica said Wednesday, calling the TSA a bloated bureaucracy. Mica is the ranking Republican on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Once the new Congress convenes in January, the lawmaker said he hopes to lead the committee. Companies that could gain business if airports heed Mica’s call have helped fill his campaign coffers. In the past 13 years, Mica has received almost $81,000 in campaign donations from political action committees and executives connected to some of the private contractors already at 16 U.S. airports. Private contractors are not a cure-all for passengers aggrieved about taking off their shoes for security checks, passing through full-body scanners or getting hand-frisked. For example, contractors must follow all TSA-mandated security procedures, including hand patdowns when necessary. Still, the top executive at the Orlando-area’s second-largest airport, Orlando Sanford International Airport, said he plans to begin the process of switching to private screeners in January as long as a few remaining concerns can be met. The airport is within Mica’s district. CEO Larry Dale said members of the board that runs Sanford were impressed after watching private screeners at airports in Rochester, N.Y., and Jackson Hole, Wyo. He said TSA agents could do better at customer service. “Some of them are a little testy,” said Dale, whose airport handles 2 million passengers a year. “And we work hard to get passengers and airlines. And to have it undone by a personality problem?” To the south, the city’s main airport, Orlando International, said it’s reviewing Mica’s pro-
posal, although it has some questions about how the system would work with the 34 million passengers it handles each year. In Georgia, Macon City Councilor Erick Erickson, whose committee oversees the city’s small airport, wants private screeners there. Erickson called it a protest move in an interview. “I am a frequent air traveler and I have experienced ... TSA agents who have let the power go to their head,” Erickson said. “You can complain about those people, but very rarely does the bureaucracy work quickly enough to remove those people from their positions.” TSA officials would select and pay the contractors who run airport security. But Dale thinks a private contractor would be more responsive since the contractor would need local support to continue its business with the airport. “Competition drives accountability, it drives efficiency, it drives a particular approach to your airport,” Dale said. “That company is just going to be looking at you. They’re not going to be driven out of Washington, they will be driven out of here.” San Francisco International Airport has used private screeners since the formation of the TSA and remains the largest to do so. Private contractors give the airport flexibility to use parttime employees to supplement staff during busy periods, airport spokesman Mike McCarron said. Also, the city’s high cost of living had made it difficult in the past to recruit federal employees to run immigration and customs stations – a problem the airport didn’t want at security checkpoints. “You get longer lines,” McCarron said. TSA spokesman Greg Soule would not respond directly Mica’s letter, but reiterated the nation’s roughly 460 commercial airports have the option of applying to use private contractors. Companies that provide airport security are contributors to Mica’s campaigns, although some donations came before those companies won government contracts. The Lockheed Martin Corp. Employees’ Political Action Committee has given $36,500 to Mica since 1997. A Lockheed subsidiary won the security contract in Sioux Falls, S.D. in 2005 and the contract for San Francisco the following year. Raytheon Company’s PAC has given Mica $33,500 since 1999. A Raytheon subsidiary began providing checkpoint screenings at Key West International Airport in 2007. Firstline Transportation Security Inc.’s PAC has donated $4,500 to the Florida congressman since 2004. FirstLine has been screening baggage and has been responsible for passenger checkpoints at the Kansas City International Airport since 2006, as well as the Gallup Municipal Airport and the Roswell Industrial Air Center in New Mexico, where it has operated at both since 2007. Since 2006, Mica has received $2,000 from FirstLine President Keith Wolken and $1,700 from Gerald Berry, president of Covenant Aviation Security. Covenant won a contract to provide airport security at Sioux Falls in 2005 and San Francisco the following year.

Calif university board OKs fee hike after protest SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The cost of a University of California education is going up 8 percent, but fewer students will be paying the full sticker price. A day after protests over the issue led to injuries and arrests, the UC Board of Regents approved the plan to raise student fees next fall while offering financial aid to more students. There were no protesters at Thursday’s meeting. In fall 2011, student fees for California residents will increase by $822 to more than $11,000. That doesn’t include individual campus fees or room and board. The latest fee hike follows a 32 percent increase earlier this year. It will raise an estimated $180 million in annual revenue, with about one-third set aside for financial aid. Under the plan, the 10-campus system would expand its
financial aid program, called the Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan, so most students from families earning less than $80,000 annually would not have to pay any tuition. The program currently covers families earning less than $70,000. UC officials said the fee increase is needed to maintain student enrollment, courses and services following deep cuts in state funding that have led to faculty furloughs, course cutbacks and enrollment reductions at the 10-campus university system. “Nobody wants ever to raise fees,” said Regent Sherry Lansing. But she said she voted for the fee hike because “the most important thing is to preserve the quality of the university.” Student Regent Jesse Cheng voted against the tuition increase, saying that students have already sacrificed a lot.
AP
Protesters are handcuffed after breaking a line of University of California police officers at the entrance to the University of California Campus in San Francisco, Calif. on Wednesday. Students clashed with police outside a meeting of the UC Board of Regents, which is scheduled to vote on another tuition increase. UC spokesman Pete King said police arrested at least 16 protesters who tried to cross a police barricade at the building where the regents were meeting on the San Francisco campus.

Students should prepare for Thanksgiving Break It’s finally the time of the semester we have been waiting for: Thanksgiving Break. The anxious feeling many students feel right before it’s time to leave may hinder needed preparations before leaving town. All proper affairs must be in order before departing from dorm rooms and apartments. This includes more than just making sure bags are packed with all the essentials.
1. If you own pets that aren’t accompanying you, make sure they are provided with proper care. Look into finding a local kennel or leaving the pet with a friend. 2. Bring a textbook or two. Just because school is not in session doesn’t mean study time isn’t needed. 3. Make sure any last-minute assignments are turned in. Some professors are kind
enough to cancel class on Friday, but most still expect work to be done efficiently and on time. 4. If leaving a vehicle in Morgantown, double check it is parked in a safe and legal place. An expensive towing bill isn’t something you want to come home to. 5. Before leaving dorm rooms or apartments, lock all doors and windows. If a thief
notices a way into a vacant apartment, someone might be missing a TV or stereo upon returning to Morgantown. 6. Remember to pack items for the road, such as iPods or reading material that may make traveling a little less painful. Traveling during the holidays is a stressful experience no matter how prepared you are. But it is always easier if you
take efficient time to double check apartments and dorm rooms prior to leaving town. Regardless of your plans for Thanksgiving break, the most important thing to remember is to be safe on the road. Watch out for reckless drivers and other hazards. Again, be safe and enjoy the break.

Michael Vick’s return proves everyone deserves a second chance jeremiah yates Associate opinion Editor
It doesn’t take a diehard football fan to be familiar with Michael Vick’s name or his criminal past. The media has been crazed over Vick’s return to professional football. While many animal rights groups are still in an uproar after Vick’s signing to the Philadelphia Eagles, many fans and sports analysts feel he has served his time and paid his dues. Regardless of whether he’s been truly rehabilitated, his return to glory has been historical thus far and proves people deserve second chances.
In 2007, Vick and two other co-defendants were convicted of running a dog-fighting ring and were sentenced to 23 months in prison. After a two month early release, Vick finished his sentence on house arrest and searched for a miracle that would put him back on the National Football League’s map. An opportunity for redemption came as one of the few teams willing to take their chances on the ex-convict, the Philadelphia Eagles, signed Vick to a $1.6 million, oneyear contract with the option of a second-year return in August of 2009. Originally, Vick was signed not to compete with (at the time) starting quarterback Donovan McNabb, but to work alongside of him, using his in-
credible speed and athleticism at various positions on the field. When the Eagles decided to trade McNabb in April to their division rival, the Washington Redskins, Vick landed the break he needed and became Philadelphia’s next starting QB. But his struggle to regain his status as an icon will still be hard fought. Vick will never get away from being associated with his past crimes. His name continues to be connected with animal cruelty, even though Vick has contributed to the fight against dog fighting by pairing up with the Humane Society in 2009. “(Vick) clearly expressed remorse and contrition, but that’s not what convinced me
to think about plugging him into these programs ... If he’s sincere about it and in it for the long haul, then he can be an agent for change. He needs to prove himself to us and the rest of the country,” said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society in a press release back in 2009. No one is a bigger animal lover than me, especially dogs. But in order for our justice system to work, forgiveness has to play a role. Convicted criminals must receive a chance to flourish in society upon release from incarceration; even ones who are seen as popular figures in the public eye. Vick has paid his debt to society, in more ways than just imprisonment.
Throughout his incarceration and house arrest, according to midwestsportsfans.com, he lost $16 million in assets in his bankruptcy case. But it seems Vick hasn’t let the negative publicity get the best of him, rather it seems to have fueled his drive to be the best. And so far this NFL season, the “best” is exactly the word to describe him. On Monday’s game against the Washington Redskins, whose starting QB is none other than former Eagle Donovan McNabb, Vick played what is being called “the greatest game in NFL history.” Vick became the first quarterback in league history to pass for 300 yards with four touchdowns, and rush for at least 80 yards with two touchdowns.
The only game coming close to Monday’s was the unforgettable match-up between the Packers and the Raiders back in 2003 when Brett Favre played the day after his father passed away and threw for almost 400 yards and completed four touchdown passes. While he was always seen as a top contender in football, Vick’s roller-coaster career has sent him screaming straight to the bottom and now back up again. Monday’s game will keep Vick on top and maybe put his tarnished name to rest. It seems now that the penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas, where Vick served his sentence, is not just a rehabilitation center, but the greatest NFL training camp the nation has to offer.
The Food and Drug Administration’s fear-based labels generate controversy raghav mehta minnesota daily uwire
Last Thursday, as a part of an effort to prevent tobacco use, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration unveiled and proposed 36 warning labels to appear on cigarette packages by late 2012. Unsurprisingly, the labels have generated a bit of controversy. Their “graphic” content depicts everything from a mother cavalierly blowing smoke onto her baby, to a pair of diseasestricken lungs set alongside captions spelling out the hazards of cigarette use.
DA
While the FDA’s good intentions are commendable in some capacity, the cynic inside me can’t help but do anything other than roll his eyes. Now I don’t mean to be insensitive or downplay what are the obvious health hazards associated with tobacco use, but the FDA’s strategy here isn’t just headscratching, it’s downright laughable. First off, unless you’ve been living on the moon for the past three decades, suffer from some uniquely dangerous case of ignorance or spend most of your waking hours in an ether-fueled stupor, the effects of tobacco use should in no way surprise you.
Since their days of recess and long division, every John and Jane Q. Public have endured a fair share of negative campaigns addressing the dangers of cigarettes. The facts are already lodged deep within our society’s cultural conscience, and this proposal is yet another glaring example of the federal government’s rankling relentlessness. But it’s an approach so inane, so staggeringly stupid, you’d only expect to see it in a faux article in The Onion or maybe, oh I don’t know, on Glenn Beck’s show. According to U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health, Dr. Howard Koh, the labels – which are required under a tobacco regulation bill passed last
summer – are aimed to “reinvigorate the national commitment to ending the tobacco epidemic.” But if the FDA’s idea of reinforcement is a prevention strategy that employs fear through over-the-top, worstcase scenario images to evoke an emotional response, then I think we have bigger problems that warrant our attention. While we’re on the topic of epidemics, what about the country’s alarming rise in obesity rates? In a 2009 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity rates accounted for a little more than a quarter of the U.S. population and are often highlighted as a “factor contribut-
ing to several leading causes of death including heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and several types of cancer.” Applying the same rationale, why don’t we attach pictures of obstructed coronary arteries and enlarged hearts onto bags of fast food while we’re at it? And how did we overlook alcohol? As our public’s moral overlords exhaust themselves relentlessly beating the proverbial drum with anti-smoking campaigns, glamorous advertisements celebrating the wonders of alcohol – a substance equally as dangerous and responsible for thousands of deaths each year – run rampant, saturating nearly every
sector of our society. So while cigarettes get treated with redundant slide shows of doom and gloom, alcohol distributors get rewarded with four hours of ad space during the Super Bowl and a couple hundred cutesy promotional billboards, just so long as they remember to remind consumers to “drink responsibly.” It’s entirely possible that the warning labels could be effective. But the issue at hand isn’t efficacy; it’s the fear-based approach the FDA is taking. If you decide to quit smoking: Good for you, Mazel Tov. But just don’t do it because some tasteless warning label inspired you.

books have,” Brininstool said. “As a kid, I wasn’t allowed to read them, so it was a really big deal and since then I’ve been hooked.” Brininstool said she enjoy’s the novels’ ability to make readers evaluate their own lives and think outside the box. “It’s just the possibility of something more being out there,” Brininstool said. “I like that it makes you think a little bit and consider your own life. To say I’m a fan would be an understatement.”
John Thrasher, a senior professional writing and editing major, said he’s spent the past decade as a dedicated Potter fan and views the novels and films as far more than just a story. “A lot of my friends and I grew up with Harry Potter and have spent the last 10 years reading the books and watching them come to life on screen, and I think in that regard it’s a tradition for most people,” Thrasher said. Thrasher said he not only appreciates the original nov-
els but also thinks the film adaptations have been a success. “The movies have pretty much stayed true to the storyline in the books, and it’s interesting to see the characters’ growth vividly on the screen,” Thrasher said. “It’s one of the most original stories in, I think, literary history. It’s one of the biggest series ever and there’s a simple reason for that – it’s captivating.” Kayla Potts, a sophomore psychology major, said she most appreciates the unique storyline for
the escape from reality it allows readers. “It’s a whole new world and I think that’s why everyone loves it so much because it’s different from our own lives,” Potts said. “Hogwarts is a whole lot different than WVU.” “It’s such a complex story and there are a lot of high expectations for the final movies,” Potts added. “This movie will give us all some closure on something we never really wanted to see the end of.” mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

‘Deathly Hallows’ a fitting end rachel duryea a&e writer
This is it: the final book of the “Harry Potter” series. Being the final book, it comes with much emotion. Harry Potter is finally battling Lord Voldemort for the last time, which has been much anticipated. The seventh book is filled with life, death and the in-between. We lose some, we gain some and, ultimately, we remain fulfilled with J.K. Rowling’s creation. There was much hype when “The Deathly Hallows” came out, and it was much deserved. This book had me on the edge of my seat as I read the final actions, thoughts and battles from the famous characters of the series. Severus Snape finally made it to headmaster position at Hogwarts, and Harry, Ron and Hermione are running for their lives. The wizarding world has been corrupted, and it is up to the trio to not only defeat Voldemort, but to also restore the wizarding world. In this final novel, the team must find and destroy all of the seven Horcruxes; hidden pieces of Voldemort’s soul. The only way to find these pieces is to decipher the clues Albus Dumbledore left behind before his death. What is mysteriously revealed is that Dumbledore himself got mixed up with dark magic and ruined his
family during this time. The novel is action packed with insane events, which caused me to latch on to every word. The drama between the three main characters is truly a whirlwind of emotions. “The Deathly Hallows” is not just for a specific gender. It’s a very neutral book with gifts for both genders. For the women, this book is a love story wrapped around a war story, and the three main characters are in the middle. They all fall in love, and they all “live happily ever after.” Yet, the fans who are guys may hate this part of the novel. For them, they are provided
with exponential amounts of violence and battles. The facts that are revealed and the lives that are taken in battle truly wrap this novel into one extreme scene of excitement, joy, tears and pain. J.K. Rowling, yet again, uses her gift to provide her audience with breath-taking scenes and gives the audience a chance to reach out into the characters’ lives one last time before the series comes to a final. No matter what you enjoy in a novel, this book will include it. This was a perfect ending for the “Harry Potter series. rachel.duryea@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
hard. Tonight: Nothing is obligatory.
BORN TODAY This year, you become more mellow and easygoing. Others often seek you out with many ideas, wanting your support. Learn to carefully weigh the pros and cons, not eliminating any choice until you are ready. Often, others seem to be challenging. They simply have different points of view. If you are single, you have a kaleidoscope of suitors. The real issue is who, what and when? From late spring on could be quite promising. If you are attached, your partner could become more buoyant and demanding at the same time. Let him or her assume a larger role in your relationship. This person is simply expressing him- or herself. TAURUS can be challenging but has similar issues.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH A meeting could prove to be your passport to a new direction. You discover many different ideas to get to the same end result, but everyone wants to get to this point. Note a change in a partner or dear friend. Tonight: Only where people are.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH You wake up on the right side of the bed. As a result, you are naturally indulgent of those around you. A boss, though aggravating, responds to your attitude. Complete rather than begin any new projects. Tonight: Out -- your treat.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Complete as much as you can, freeing yourself up to relax for the next few days. Consider reorganizing your plans or moving a meeting as need be. Be willing to accept a completely foreign approach to a project. It just might work better. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Explore options with confidence that up till now you had not dared to look at. Investigate different ideas. Understand those around you better by walking in their shoes. Your newfound empathy increases your ease in relating. Tonight: Follow the music.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You cannot believe the difference a few days or a few hours make. Reach out for someone at a distance who means a lot to you. You note an easy flow, which is new. Be ready to update your opinions about a situation. Tonight: All smiles.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Let a partner play the stronger role he or she has always wanted to play. Realize what is happening between you and another person. You might need to revise your opinions about this person and what you want. Tonight: Go along with a pal’s suggestion.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You don’t need to let others know how you feel. Your general demeanor expresses your feelings. Nevertheless, you could be somewhat exhausted by the past few days. Don’t feel as if you need to push so
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Others appear to be more confident than they have been for a substantial period. Listen to suggestions. The more you incorporate others’ ideas, the more you gain their support. A change in commu-
nication styles might be strangely more effective. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH A level, easy approach works beyond your expectations. Apply new information and perspectives as to how to handle your finances. Make more time for a hobby or some pastime you enjoy. Relaxed and centered, you will do better work. Tonight: Finally, some free time. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Your perspective about a project or key person in your life keeps updating. You know the matter in question won’t be boring, and will be worthwhile to pursue. Share more of those wild ideas you generally keep to yourself. Tonight: Let your hair down. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Your view keeps updating, though you might be exhausted by everything that you need to take in. A family situation, though difficult, could be worked through, if you so choose. Don’t get caught up in a power struggle. Tonight: Your home is your castle. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Finally, you feel more upbeat and relaxed. Understand what is happening between you and a friend. Perhaps some distance and perspective could make a difference. You cannot always hold people in the same place. They change. Tonight: TGIF. Meet friends.

Doom and gloom dominate new ‘Harry Potter’ movie (AP) — This seventh film in the franchise, directed once again by David Yates (who previously helmed parts five and six, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”), begins with nearly suffocating tension, as Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) finds himself face-to-face with his destiny: being the target of the evil Lord Voldemort’s deadly wrath. Friends and allies will have to band together to protect him; some of them won’t make it out alive. Finally, the weight of Harry’s past and the frightening unknown of his future, as detailed so thoroughly and vividly in J.K. Rowling’s beloved books, are about to collide. Yates’ film is gorgeously bleak, with sprawling, end-of-the-Earth shots of foreboding mountains and lonely beaches from Oscarnominated cinematographer Eduardo Serra (“Girl With a Pearl Earring”) that reflect the characters’ moods. Serra has never shot a “Harry Potter” movie before and brings a totally different kind of artfulness to the aesthetics while still remaining consistent with this familiar world. (“Part 1” is in 2-D because, thankfully, Warner Bros. chose not to rush the 3-D conversion process; “Part 2” will be in 3-D when it hits theaters in July.) The films have grown darker in tone and theme, and given this heightened emotional challenge,

Having spent half their lives in these characters, their interactions with one another seem more comfortable and believable than ever. Radcliffe has been solid for a while now, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger has grown into an engaging young woman, but Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley gives his most confident performance yet. The supporting cast, as always, is mind-bogglingly starstudded, led by Ralph Fiennes as the fearsome Voldemort and
THE ‘HARRY POTTER’ STORY SO FAR ...
1 ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ Harry Potter, an orphan boy, lives a miserable life with his uncle and aunt. After years of neglect, Harry learns of his magical heritage at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After making lifelong friends with Ron and Hermione and establishing himself as a proimising Quidditch player, he learns more about the evil that claimed his parents. As danger surrounds him and his friends, Harry acts to protect a mysterious stone that could bring back a force so evil it could bring the wizarding world – and the muggle (non-magical) world to its knees.

Alan Rickman as the duplicitous Professor Snape, and including Helena Bonham Carter, Imelda Staunton, Julie Walters and newcomer Bill Nighy. It’s a welcome sight to see the return of larger-than-life character actors like Robbie Coltrane as the lovable lug Hagrid and Brendan Gleeson as the irreverent “Mad-Eye” Moody; on the other end of the spectrum is Toby Jones, returning as the voice of the diminutive and heroic house elf Dobby. But because “Part 1” sets up the final showdown in “Part 2” – which Yates also directed –

‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’
‘Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban’
After another miserable summer with the Dursley’s, Harry and Ron make a memorable entrance to school crashing their flying car into the school grounds. But that’s the least of the troubles facing the school. People are becoming petrified, living corpses due to menacing magic. Suspicion surrounds Harry, after his snake-talking skills emerge. Harry believes his nemesis, Draco Malfoy, is behind the attacks after declaring himself as anti-mudblood (against half human, half wizard). Harry must once again use his wit and intuition to help foil another resurrection attempt by the evil Lord Voldemort, now in the guise of his former self, Tom Riddle.
Harry flees another summer at the Dursley’s – this time after causing his aunt Marge to inflate and fly over London. As he flees, he learns the murderous Sirius Black has escaped Azkaban, the most horrible place in the world. As a result, the Dementors are about – joyless beasts that feed on the happiness of those they seek to catch. Harry learns Sirius conspired with Voldemort, leading to his father’s death. Harry, along with Ron and Hermione, must uncover the truth and catch Sirius. However, not all is what it seems, and Harry is soon reunited with his framed godfather.

‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’
‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’
‘Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince’
The wizarding world has Quidditch World Cup fever. Harry, together with Ron and Hermione, travels to see the game. There, he meets Cedric Diggory, a fellow Hogwarts student. Back at Hogwarts, it’s the time for the Triwizard Tournament, a similar contest as the World Cup, this time between schools and students. Harry’s name is mysteriously entered despite being too young to officially compete. Harry, receiving help from various professors including the bizarre “Mad Eye” Moody, and realizes the Dark Lord has returned, and is more determined than ever before.
A secret order is conspiring to fight the evil slowly regrouping in the magical world – and Harry wants in. Harry believes, as the target of Voldemort’s murderous intent, he should be able to join the Order of the Phoenix, a group designed to bring Voldemort down and led by Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore. The Ministry, eager to see Dumbledore gone, introduces a meddlesome professor with questionable intent. Once free of her, Harry, Ron, Hermione and friends travel to the Ministry of Magic and uncover a prophecy. Of course, Voldemort just happens to want it, too.
The Dark Lord has returned to power and all is not well with the wizarding world. The forces of evil are conspiring once more, with former allies entering unbreakable vows to bring down Hogwarts, Dumbledore and Harry forever. Eager to help him learn the most about his nemesis, Dumbledore guides Harry into learning as much of Voldemort as possible. After they learn Voldemort has split his soul into seven different pieces, Harry and Dumbledore attempt to track down a locket – one of the “Horcruxes” containing the Dark Lord’s essence. Unfortunately, Dumbledore’s life is lost in the pursuit of good over evil. Harry, with his friends, must now take action for the last time.
‘Potter’ expected to dominate box office LOS ANGELES (AP) — This forecast doesn’t take a “Megamind” – “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” will be the No. 1 film at the nation’s box offices this weekend, conjuring up receipts that could approach $120 million or beyond and likely set a debut record for the “Potter” movies, the most successful film franchise of all time. A true “event” film in every sense of the word, this second-to-the-last installment in the eight-part, decade-long Warner Bros.’ se-
ries will draw massive crowds to the multiplex as it benefits from a terrific marketing campaign, off-the-chart audience awareness, 4,125 screens, including a record number of IMAX screens, and midnight showings. “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” is the only film in the series thus far to open in excess of $100 million, having earned $102.7 million in its first three days back in 2005. Falling to a distant second, Paramount’s release of the Dreamworks’ animated
‘Megamind’ should take in about $18 million, with a third weekend drop in the mid-30 percent range. Timing can be everything in this business and the film enjoyed two solid weeks at the top of the charts in a “Potter”less marketplace with a voracious family audience hungry for kid-appropriate product. As it crosses the $100 million mark this weekend, “Megamind” holds the distinction of being the first blockbuster of the 2010 holiday movie season.
there’s lots of exposition in Steve Kloves’ script, lots of characters and plot lines introduced and reintroduced from films past. While it’s thrilling off the top, it repeatedly sags in the middle before ultimately picking up at the cliffhanger climax. Voldemort is on the hunt for Harry, and has sent his minions to capture him alive so that he can kill him himself. Meanwhile, Harry, Hermione and Ron must track down and destroy the Horcruxes – scattered containers that hold pieces of Voldemort’s soul, which are crucial to Harry’s survival.
But this pursuit is more dangerous than ever, since Voldemort’s Death Eaters have taken over the Ministry of Magic, leaving Harry with less protection. And as we know from the previous film, the regal and wise Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Michael Gambon, in brief flashbacks) isn’t around to help him, either. The visually striking sequence in which Harry and his pals assume fake identities to enter the ministry – which is hidden inside the sewers and looks like something out of the Third Reich – is dazzling and intimidating at once. Humor is hard to find here, as you’d expect in a film with the words “Deathly Hallows” in the title, but there are a few laughs to be had at the absurdity of the situation in which Harry, Hermione and Ron find themselves. (Earlier in the film, Ron’s twin brothers also provide some of their patented teasing banter.) But the imaginative energy the students enjoy at Hogwarts is gone here – part one of “Deathly Hallows” never once sets foot in the school’s stately corridors – and instead, our trio is very much thrown into the real world. Temporarily stuck in London, they find themselves in a car chase and a shootout (albeit with wands), busy streets and dark alleyways. Danger lurks at every turn, and here, Yates mixes in some

They’re more grown-up than ever now that they’re on the verge of leaving school, and since they’re on the road searching for Horcruxes (and trying to keep Harry alive), they have plenty of time to explore their blossoming feelings toward each other. These are the sections that sap the film of its energy, but by the time “Part 1” ends, you’ll be anxious to see what tricks Harry has up his sleeve once he’s forced to face the ultimate evil.

Boston College, WVU battle for Elite Eight by Ben Gaughan sports writer
The seventh-ranked West Virginia women’s soccer team has not played Boston College in six years. Back then, BC was in the Big East Conference with the Mountaineers. West Virginia has never lost to the Eagles, going 5-0-1 in the series. Although the two teams have not squared off in recent years, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and the rest of the team knows the Eagles are a dangerous opponent, hence their No. 2 seeding. “I’m not very familiar (with BC), but I do know that (head coach Alison Kulik) does a great

job up there,” Izzo-Brown said after Sunday’s second-round win over Penn State. “They’ve got tremendous recruiting. They have a lot of blue-chip kids that play for her.”
Even on the brink of a 15game winning streak by the Mountaineers, Izzo-Brown praised the Eagles’ coach and stressed how tough this Sweet 16 match is going to be. “(Kulik) is organized. She’s one of the best coaches in the country. So, I know it’s going to be a battle when we get up there,” Izzo-Brown said. Senior Megan Mischler has played with several players from this Boston College team and knows what they bring to the table, but says it is nothing the Mountaineers haven’t run into in Big East play. “I know a lot of players on their team that I played with on ODP (Olympic Development

Mountaineers face quick turnaround By John Terry Multimedia Editor
The No. 10 West Virginia University women’s basketball team had just one day to fix the mistakes it made Wednesday night in a win over Duquesne. The Mountaineers take on Delaware State tonight, with the hopes of mending their early season turnover and defensive problems. Through two games, WVU is averaging nearly 20 turnovers and is out-rebounding opponents by just one, despite having a size advantage in both games. “We’re just not where we need to be at,” said Senior forward Madina Ali after her third career double-double. “We have to prove as a team, and we have something to prove to (head coach Mike) Carey, that

we can be the defensive team that he wants us to be.” Carey has also been unhappy with the lack of movement with its half-court offense. To aid in improvement, Carey said he’s going to play those who are “going to listen.” That could mean playing as few as seven or eight play-
ers, he said. Because of the short turnaround, West Virginia spent Thursday recovering and concentrating on Delaware State. The Lady Hornets, who have yet to play a game, were picked to finish 10th in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The team returns three starters from last year. It finished 6-24. After Friday’s game, the Mountaineers will travel to the Virgin Islands for the Paradise Jam Tournament where they will play No. 24 Texas Christian University, Virginia and No. 19 Iowa State. “I told them we have Delaware State, and then we play three BCS schools,” Carey said. “We’ll see exactly where we’re at. Maybe that will wake us up a little bit.“
Tayou scores career performance in win SPORTS WRITER
For most of the season, junior forward Franck Tayou was one of the starters for the West Virginia men’s soccer team. But when the Mountaineers came out for their NCAA Tournament first-round matchup against Xavier Wednesday, Tayou wasn’t in the lineup. “We have a number of weapons, and we have to find the best way to utilize them,” said West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc of the changes he made to the lineup. “It was tactical. There was that thought process that if we were going to survive and advance today, we were going to also need to be fresh.” It seemed that, at least early on, those tactical maneuvers weren’t getting the job done, as the Mountaineers found themselves down 2-0 within the first five minutes of the game. With his team down 2-0 in the early minutes of the first half, Tayou got the call from his
coach and entered the game, looking to provide a muchneeded spark. That’s just what he did, scoring three goals to help advance West Virginia to the second round. “(LeBlanc) told me to use my size and work hard and create my own luck,” Tayou said. “He believes in me, and whenever that opportunity comes, I just have to stay calm and put the ball in the net.” Tayou netted his first goal within the first few minutes after entering the game. After a shot by Peabo Doue that hit off of the crossbar, the junior was able to corral it and tap it into the empty net. He then went on to nail the equalizer almost 10 minutes later to bail out the West Virginia defense after giving up the two early goals. “Once (Franck) got that first goal, everyone kind of knew that we were going to walk out ahead,” said WVU senior goalkeeper Zach Johnson. “Once that first goal came, it kind of

Program) since I was 12,” Mischler said. “They have a really strong defensive center midfielder and they have some really dynamic forwards … A really fast girl, Amy Caldwell. “Brooke Knowlton, who is big and she can turn off you and has a great shot. So, I mean, it’s nothing we haven’t seen before in the Big East, and I think our back line can handle it.” The Mountaineers have only given up one goal in six contests and have scored at least two goals the last three times against Boston College, but that was in the past. In the last two games against Morehead State and Penn State, WVU has not scored a goal in
opened things up. It was kind of a sigh of relief, almost.” But Tayou still wasn’t done. Ten minutes into the second half of play, he received a pass from Shadow Sebele and snuck it past the keeper for his first career hat trick and the first threegoal performance of the Marlon LeBlanc era at West Virginia. It was also Tayou’s first hat trick in his soccer career. “I had one last summer,” he said. “But it was just a pick up game with my family.” The three-goal performance is especially special for Tayou, who came into the country with his brother, Uzi, as a refugee and played a couple seasons in the junior college ranks before finally settling into his home here in Morgantown. “Coming from junior college, everyone (Uzi used to play with) is supporting me,” Tayou said. “I feel blessed to be with all these people. I’m embracing the opportunity, and I’m trying to make the most out of it.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu
bad shots. Often times, the DU defense applied added pressure forcing players such as forward Korrine Campbell and point guard Sarah Miles to force up bad shots. Just playing without rhyme or reason will not win games, especially with the Virgin Islands Paradise Jam forthcoming and the Big East Conference slate looming. The Mountaineers look confused on offense and don’t necessarily run set plays. The good thing about these struggles is West Virginia recognizes those issues.

Devine needs 164 yards to pass Avon Cobourne as the school’s career all-purpose yards leader. “I wish we were playing at home,” Sanders said. “ If it comes to me, it does. If it doesn’t, it don’t. I’m approaching it like any other game.” In order to win its first Big East Conference Championship since 2007, West Virginia needs to win its remaining three games, and Connecticut and Syracuse lose at least one more conference game. The Orange play their final Big East game against the Huskies Saturday at home. “We have a mindset that it’s the playoffs for us. We have to win every game,” said WVU quarterback Geno Smith. “It gives us the extra focus.” brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu
“Offensively, (we need to) run (Carey’s) sets properly,” Ali said. “We haven’t really proved that to him yet, and I really want to do that for him.” By pinpointing the offensive miscues early on, the Mountaineers will undoubtedly be able to meet the high expectations and reach their top 10 potential. With the talent these players possess, the sky is the limit. It’s safe to say a conference championship and Final Four run will eliminate any more embarrassment for Carey. Those milestones are attainable, but like Ali said, her team will have to prove it. matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

the second half. The team only had three shots on goal in the last 45 minutes against the Nittany Lions. “Obviously, playing Friday and Sunday, we’re a little banged up. We just need to kind of regroup and get a little healthy,” Izzo-Brown said. “It will be nice to just have one game this weekend. Our final third passing needs to be a little sharper. There were a couple chances we let pass in the second half (against Penn State). So, we’ll watch tape. We’ll adjust that and make some decisions as a staff, and do a better job finishing in the second half.”

and another basket by Bryant gave the Mountaineers an 18-point advantage, 38-20, with four minutes left in the first half. West Virginia entered the locker room up 42-29 after the Wildcats closed out the first half on a 9-4 run. Davidson shot just 38.7 percent from the field in the first half, compared to WVU’s 14-for-29. West Virginia struggled to make shots after halftime, as WVU only out-scored the Wildcats 42-41 in the second half. The Mountaineers shot just 37 percent in the second half. Sophomore Dan Jennings finished with a game-high 10 rebounds and eight points in 22 minutes of action. Starting center Deniz Kilicli played just six minutes in the game before fouling out. He was held scoreless and without a rebound. Flowers and Jones also fouled out. It was the first time three WVU players have fouled out in a game since the Mountaineers’ 2007 loss to Tennessee. Davidson (0-2) finished 2-of22 from three-point range. “This is a very well-coached, very tough and very disciplined Big East team. They’ll be in the NCAA Tournament without a doubt,” said Davidson Head Coach Bob McKillop. Freshman De’Mon Brooks and guard Brendan McKillop each scored 15 points to lead the Wildcats. brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu

W. b-ball’s sloppy play needs to stop The West Virginia women’s basketball team needs to start playing like its No. 10 ranking. Head coach Mike Carey was embarrassed by his team’s play against Duquesne on Wednesday. And he has every reason to be upset. WVU held on 69-58 but very easily could have let its lead slip away. The Mountaineers turned the ball over 20 times in that game. The last time WVU turned the ball over that many times was last season in a 74-66 loss at Notre Dame. Other stats suggest the Mountaineers should have lost to the Dukes, as well. West Virginia and its host of big bodies were out-rebounded, 37-33. Center Asya Bussie grabbed just one. It has truly been a tale of two halves for Carey’s crew this season. Taking a 16-point lead into halftime, the Mountaineers were out-scored 30-25 in the second half. Forward Liz Repella called it a disarray on the defensive side of the ball. Carey said it was a lack of execution. “We did not execute,” Carey said. “We didn’t move or reverse the ball. We have to get a lot better. I’ve never seen a team outhustle us like (Duquesne) did tonight.” WVU failed to flow smoothly on offense and couldn’t get shots to fall. It went 9-for-24 from the field in the second half, as opposed to shooting nearly 50 percent in the first half. A big reason for the depleted percentage is the fact that the Mountaineers simply took bad shots. Oftentimes, the DU defense applied added pressure, forcing players such as forward Korinne Campbell and point guard Sarah Miles to force up

WVU faces Cardinals Saturday BY BRIAN GAWTHROP ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Charlie Strong won two national championships at Florida with nationally-ranked defenses. He’s attempting to do the same at Louisville. Strong, the Gators’ former defensive coordinator for seven seasons, is in his first season as the Cardinals’ head
coach, and has already made vast improvements. Louisville (5-5) will be looking for its third Big East Conference win against West Virginia, Saturday at noon, at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. “I see aggressiveness. I see Charlie Strong’s personality,” said West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart of UL’s defense. “This is going to be a tough football game.”
Strong took over for former head coach Steve Kragthorpe, who finished 15-21 in three seasons. Kragthorpe’s defense finished 67th in total defense a season ago, but Strong has the Cardinals ranked ninth nationally in pass defense, 15th nationally in total defense and 22nd nationally in scoring defense. “When a head coach is a de-
fensive guy, you know they’re going to have a good defense,” said WVU offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen. “Their personnel is good and their scheme is good. Plus, playing on the road is always uphill.” The Mountaineers return to the road for the first time since their loss at Connecticut on Oct. 29. WVU also fell on the

WVU advances behind Tayou’s hat trick By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer
Throughout the 2010 season, the West Virginia men’s soccer team referred to its home field as a fortress. In the early action of Thursday night’s first round NCAA Tournament game against Xavier, though, the Mountaineers looked as if they left their drawbridge down. Thanks to a sensational effort by forward Franck Tayou, though, WVU defeated the Musketeers 4-2 in front of 513 fans at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. “Franck was huge for us,” said goalkeeper Zach Johnson. “He has a nose for the ball, and he used his size well.” Xavier stormed out to a 2-0 lead just five minutes into the contest that left the Mountaineers stunned. “We were rattled a little bit in the beginning,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “The guys were almost too focused and too ready to start the game.” Johnson, who was the only player on the team with NCAA Tournament experience, agreed with his head coach. “We came out a little bit too amped up to play,” Johnson said. matt sunday/the daily athenaeum “We were flying off the ball and West Virginia junior forward Franck Tayou and teammates celebrate following his hat trick performance Thursday night in the first just leaving people behind.” round of the NCAA Tournament. WVU won 4-2. Xavier‘s first goal, which fol-
lowed a tough sprawling save by Johnson, came on a corner kick that was headed home by defenseman Jared Queree. The Musketeers struck again just a hair under five minutes into the game when a corner kick was put into the net by Mountaineers’ defenseman Eric Schoenle for an own goal. “We had been down before,” Johnson said. “I had all confidence that we were going to come back in the end.” After a bit of back-and-forth play, the Mountaineers looked to calm their early jitters. In the 21st minute, LeBlanc made substitutions that changed the course of the game. Tayou entered the contest along with forward Peabo Doue and midfielder Travis Pittman. Tayou scored the team’s first goal two minutes later. “That goal was so important,” LeBlanc said. “You could kind of feel the momentum change whenever we got that first goal.” Tayou was not done there, though, as he found the back of the net again with 12:12 remaining in the first half to tie the game at 2-2. “We have been down two goals before,” LeBlanc said. “The guys did a great job of sticking to the game plan, and those three

WVU advances in Puerto Rico behind Bryant’s 22 Face Vanderbilt at 12:30 p.m. today BY BRIAN GAWTHROP ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
With West Virginia’s biggest offensive threat continuing his scoring struggles, it was Truck Bryant who filled the void Thursday. The point guard finished with a game-high 22 points on 7-of14 shooting to lead West Virginia past Davidson 84-70 and advance in the winner’s bracket of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Thursday. Bryant’s 22 points matched a career high, while the junior added three steals. The Mountaineers (2-0) will play Vanderbilt today at 12:30 p.m., on ESPNU. The Commodores beat Nebraska 59-49 Thursday. The winner of today’s game will play in Saturday’s championship game against either XXX or XXX. “We should be a lot better. We’re not playing a bunch of freshmen,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “The 10 guys that we played all were

here a year ago and the majority of them played in virtually every game.” Five West Virginia players reached double-figure scoring in Thursday’s win including Casey Mitchell, John Flowers, Kevin Jones and Dalton Pepper. Despite shooting 4-for-11 and 0-of-3 from the three-point range in the game, junior forward Kevin Jones finished with 10 points. Jones is just 8-of21 from the field through two games this season.
