Former Univ. fraternity seeks to form again by nick ashley staff writer

brooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum

Sigma Nu fraternity is restarting its chapter after being closed down several years ago at West Virginia University.

Sigma Nu’s WVU chapter was closed down in 1995 due to financial struggles the group was experiencing. Membership declined, which resulted in a loss of recruitment.

The fraternity was founded at WVU in 1904. Sigma Nu is the only men’s fraternity that was founded in opposition of hazing on campus.

Chris Healy, director of expansion for Sigma Nu Headquarters, said he was contacted in 2010 by alumni of the WVU chapter and the Office of Student Organizations at WVU. “We felt this would be a great opportunity to bring it back to WVU,” Healy said. “The group is excited to be a part of the greater fraternity community.”

Healy said formal recruitment for Sigma Nu will begin Jan. 24.

Tom Keller, expansion and recruitment consultant for WVU, said he has helped five chapters with recolonizing.

“We are looking for guys who are ready for a challenge, show great motivation and a potential leader to help leave a lasting tradition at the University,” Keller said.

Keller said the group is doing an extended recruitment period for the fraternity at the University.

Keller said two to three

weeks after students are accepted into the fraternity, they will have an opportunity to run for president and council positions within Sigma Nu. “Students get to decide what traditions they would like and to create an ideal fraternity for them,” Keller said. “We will take as many guys that fit the criteria we are looking for.”

Healy said a program called LEAD (leadership, ethics, achievement and development) was developed for Sigma Nu chapters being reformed.

“We are looking for young men who are focused on their academics, values, vision, and forming a lifelong brotherhood with each other,” he said.

Healy said the fraternity does not have a house on campus, and a short-term plan for members will be to live in a group house in the fall of 2011.

He said during the next three to five years, they will be forming a house with the help of the University.

Healy said Sigma Nu staff is working with Student Organization Services, and new members will have all privileges that other groups have.

“I encourage students to check out what we offer, learn more about us and help create a great fraternity to enhance the entire Greek community at WVU,” Keller said.

A student hangs off the basket in which WVU players hit clutch free throws to defeat No. 8 Purdue Sunday at the WVU Coliseum. Fans rushed the court following the win.

A gold-clad river flowed onto the court at the WVU Coliseum Sunday afternoon following the Mountaineers’ 68-6 upset of No. 8 Purdue. West Virginia used what coach Bob Huggins called a “total team effort” to defeat the Boilermakers in what players called a turning-point game. Those players, who jumped and danced with fellow students on the court with smiles on their faces, put together one of the most important second-half performances in recent memory at WVU.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day events

WVU gives MLK award to Students reflect and discuss two working toward equality King’s ‘Dream’ during forum

BY CHARLES YOUNG CORRESPONDENT

West Virginia University honored the president of the state chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a senior psychology student with awards honoring the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday.

WVU presented the Martin Luther King Jr. Achievement Award to James Tolbert Sr., president of West Virginia’s NAACP, Monday during an annual Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast. The University also pre-

sented the Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship to Sherline Montoute, a senior psychology major.

Fuller said Montoute has worked both nationally and internationally to further equality.

“Both recipients are more than worthy of their awards,” said Marjorie Fuller, director of the WVU Center for Black Culture & Research. “Tolbert has worked towards a lifelong commitment to equality and in every way exemplifies the teachings and life of Dr. King.”

Students at West Virginia University discussed the meaning and relevance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech” Monday night during a forum hosted by the Iota Phi Theta fraternity.

The event was moderated

by Stephen Allison, president of IPT, and was an interactive multimedia presentation relying on audience discussion.

“All the other events you’ve been to, they told you what it (the speech) meant,” Allison said. “What we’re going to do

here tonight is find out what you think it means, what you think.”

The presentation began with newsreel footage illustrating the political climate around the time King gave his historic speech, followed by footage of the speech itself.

Allison then asked the audience what they thought King’s dream was really about and why it was important to remember its message.

“We need to make sure we know what his purpose was,” one audience member said. “We need to extend the

Art met entomology at the opening of the showcase “Beauty in the Beast: The World of Insects” Friday.

West Virginia University’s Davis College of Agriculture featured an insect collection as part of the showcase at the Monongalia Arts Center.

The exhibit is scheduled to run until Jan. 29.

Vicki Kondo, an entomology (study of insects) research assistant, helped create the exhibit.

“There is beauty in the design of insects, as well as their morphology,” Kondo said. “Plus, all of the beneficial things that they do for human beings.”

Kondo said her interest in insects started when she was a child, turning over rocks outside.

“We didn’t really have video games back then,” Kondo said.

Pinned specimens from around the world were on display, as well as live specimens.

Kondo said one of her personal pets, a curly-haired tarantula from Honduras named Madam Octa was part of the display.

Kondo said visitors to the display were free to touch the tarantula. She said its bite is not dangerous to people.

As part of the exhibit, the first definitively identified brown recluse spider ever found alive in the state of West Virginia was on display.

Dina Kleine, the Morgantown resident who found the spider, said she was cleaning the Metropolitan Theatre near the time of its grand reopening when she found it.

“I had studied entomology six years before at WVU,” Kleine said. “Still, I wasn’t sure. I caught it and took it

brations on the nation’s hallowed ground, according to a press release.

WVU also celebrated King’s life by hosting a ceremony Thursday featuring Freeman Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland.

Fuller said Hrabowski has an inspiring story of activism and was a child participant in the civil rights movement. He and hundreds of other children were jailed for their participation in the 1963

Children’s March and held in a juvenile detention center, she said.

Each year, the nation celebrates MLK Day to honor the humanitarian’s message of peace in a world plagued by violence. It has been more than 40 years since the death of Martin Luther King Jr. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Kondo said she was quickly able to identify the spider as an elusive brown recluse.

Named “Brownie,” the spider has become a part of Kondo’s and the University’s extensive collection.

Ro Brooks, executive director at the MAC, said that it had been a number of years since a display like “Beauty in the Beast” had been showcased there.

Brooks said she was pleased that such a knowledgeable speaker was taking part in the exhibit.

“Many people don’t realize, but the MAC was created for both arts and sciences,” Brooks said.

Kondo said she wanted to continue educating people about insects, dispelling common myths and teaching people about what good insects do in the world.

As other states struggle, W.Va. considers tax cut

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s proposed $26 million tax cut is but one sign of West Virginia’s stable government finances as other states brace for painful budgetary choices.

Other evidence of improving fiscal health can be seen in the spending plan Tomblin sent to the Legislature last week for the next budget year beginning July 1. It includes a modest $17.7 million drop in payments needed to shore up state pensions and $47 million for a requested one-time pay boost for teachers, school workers and state employees.

The tax cut would reduce the sales tax on groceries – already reduced by half within the last five years – from 3 cents to 2 cents per dollar in 2012. Funding also appears sufficient for Tomblin to propose $78 million to supplement the ongoing budget, as well.

This scenario greets West Virginia lawmakers at a time when 34 other states face short-

falls in their upcoming budgets, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

For 21 of them, the threatened deficits equal at least 10 percent of their general fund spending, the group found in its budget survey released last month. A 32 percent gap confronts Nevada, for instance, while New Jersey’s is 26 percent.

“The budget I submit to you today contains no tax increases.

It raises no fees. It furloughs no teachers or state employees,” Tomblin said in his State of the State address on Wednesday.

“This budget neither cuts nor creates entitlement programs.

It does not rely on any rainy day funds.”

Contrasting that summary were more bleak messages in similar addresses delivered last week by governors in other states: slashed school and scholarship funding in Georgia; education cuts and an end to some optional Medicaid services in Indiana; a spending

freeze in Kansas.

West Virginia’s rebounding economy, led by its coal-rich energy sector, accounts for the state budget stability. After several years of shrinking revenues, the state expects general tax collections to grow by 6.6 percent in the coming budget year.

But Tomblin’s proposal would increase general revenue and lottery-supported spending by less than 1 percent.

Around half of that increase offsets a decline in county property tax proceeds for public schools.

The Tomblin administration is also forecasting smoother sailing in future budget years.

The state last year had projected a $425 million shortfall facing the 2012-2013 budget.

An updated estimate, released last week, shrinks that potential gap to a much more manageable $123 million. The revised forecast reduces shortfalls for the two subsequent budget years by half of more.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is proposing a $5.7 million loan forgiveness program to recruit teachers to West Virginia shortage areas.

State public schools have long struggled to find enough teachers certified in such critical subjects as math and science. There are also teacher vacancies in areas including

McDowell County and the Eastern Panhandle.

Tomblin seeks to add $5.7 million to the annual state budget starting July 1. The money would pay off student loans of teachers who commit to serving in these areas.

The state’s two main teacher groups appear receptive to the concept.

President Judy Hale of the

American Federation of Teachers-West Virginia said today that loan forgiveness is a good idea if students will go into areas where the state needs teachers.

President Dale Lee said he’s waiting on the details and, like Hale, said loan forgiveness will not solve the shortage problem.

The administration has yet to unveil a measure detailing the proposal.

Gervais, ‘Social Network’ dominate award ceremony by jesse tabit a&e Writer

Television and movie stars kicked off one of 2010’s biggest awards ceremonies Sunday evening with the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“It’s Hollywood’s favorite award show because they’re allowed to drink throughout the entire ceremony, ‘cause without that, it would be f---ing insufferable,” said Ricky Gervais, British comedian and two time host of the show.

Gervais’ jokes were few and far between, and while some of them were funny, the man had less and less humor to offer as the show carried forth.

Gervais’ repertoire of gags for the night included the eating habits of Charlie Sheen, a surprising nomination for “The Tourist,” the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and Ashton Kutcher’s “father,” Bruce Willis.

As for the real purpose of the show, “The Kids Are All Right” took home two awards, one for Best Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy) and Best Actress in a Motion Picture (Musical or Comedy), Annette Bening.

Christian Bale and Melissa Leo received awards for their supporting roles in “The Fighter,” and Colin Firth took home an award for Best Actor

in a Motion Picture (Drama) for “The King’s Speech.”

No one was surprised as Natalie Portman stepped up to receive her Best Actress Award (Drama) for her devilishly psychotic role in “Black Swan.”

Also, the “Glee” table was positively ecstatic as awards went to Chris Colfer for Best Supporting Actor in a Series and Jane Lynch for Best Supporting Actress in a Series.

The show itself took home a Golden Globe for Best Television Series (Musical or Comedy).

“Boardwalk Empire” earned two Globes this year for Best Television Series (Drama) and Best Performance by Actor (Drama) Steve Buscemi.

Laura Linney won Best Actress in a Television Series (Musical or Comedy) for Showtime’s “Big C,” and Jim Parsons took home his first Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Television Series (Musical or Com-

edy) for “The Big Bang Theory.”

Last, but certainly not least, Facebook movie “The Social Network,” won four awards including Best Director (David Fincher), Best Original Score for a Motion Picture (Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross), Best Screenplay for a Motion Picture (Aaron Sorkin) and Best Motion Picture (Drama), beating out some of the year’s most prestigious pictures.

Other notable awards included Best Animated Film, which went to “Toy Story 3,” and Best Performance by an Actor/Actress in a Mini-Series, which went to Al Pacino for “You Don’t Know Jack” and Claire Danes for “Temple Grandin.”

AP Katey Sagal (“Sons of Anarchy”) also received an award Aaron Sorkin holds the award he was given for Best Screenplay - Motion Picture for ‘The for Best Actress in a Television Social Network’ at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards.

Series (Drama).

This year’s Cecil B. DeMille award, recognizing an individual’s contributions to the world of entertainment, went to Robert De Niro, whose acceptance speech joked on members of the foreign press and compared making movies to raising children.

“My children are more expensive, and you can’t remake them in 3D to push up the grosses,” DeNiro said.

At several points during Sunday’s broadcast of the Golden Globes, I found myself questioning reality.

I pinched myself several times. I looked for a special keepsake only I knew about. I looked for any signs this reality was questionable.

How could it not be? “Inception,” one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen, had failed to win anything all night.

Outrage.

Instead, the ceremony was dominated by “The Social Network,” a movie about a website we all spend too much time on.

Maybe that’s a little harsh.

“The Social Network” is a fine film. It exposes the world that helped create the social experience for 500 million users.

But it wasn’t a film that stuck with me. It was effective at keeping me interested, even when all they were doing was typing at keyboards.

But it didn’t make me think.

“Inception” forced us to think about what was going on.

If you stopped paying attention for even a few seconds, you’d probably be lost.

Most importantly – it made us question what you had seen.

Was it all a dream? Was it the actual-reality we all believe we’re in?

Will I ever be able to control my dreams as awesomely as Leonardo DiCaprio did?

Perhaps it will have better chances at the Oscars. “Inception” deserves recognition because it was an entertaining summer movie that made you think.

King’s life should be honored by everyone The students at West Virginia University are back from a long weekend and ready to get back in the swing of things.

But even as Martin Luther King Jr. Day has passed, it is still a time for remembering everything he did and what his memory continues to stand for.

Dr. King’s life was an inspiration to millions of people, and his words are still being heard by a younger generation of Americans every year.

Monday marked the 25th MLK Day as a federally honored holiday. It is described as a day on, not a day off. It is the only federal holiday that is observed as a day of service.

Along with many other Americans during the civil rights era, King faced great opposition and always looked out for his fellow man.

He once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for

others?’”

More people need to take these words to heart and live by his example. There is no excuse for racial bigotry or ignoring others who are in need of help.

It is a much easier time to talk about equality and justice. In King’s day, mentioning civil rights caused controversy and many times ended with violence.

The courage it took for King to march against hate groups and

speak to Americans about freedom and equality was amazing and inspirational.

His “I have a Dream” speech is taught in classrooms around the country and probably will continue to be for many years to come.

It should be every American’s duty, regardless of race, to honor Martin Luther King Jr. and appreciate what he did for this nation.

Even though we are nowhere

near ending racism, we have made defining leaps towards that goal, all with King’s efforts to thank.

Having equal rights benefits every American. A nation living in peace is a more prosperous one.

While we may never end racism, King’s attempts have and continue to bring us closer. We can never thank him enough.

American college youth needs to pay attention to Tunisia tomas engle columnist

In a largely ignored story in the American media, a longstanding and corrupt foreign leader was overthrown by the people of his country.

While military-initiated coups are nothing new for Africa, the recent protests in Tunisia are a definite sign of the times with Facebook, WikiLeaks, and YouTube all playing pivotal roles in a country dominated by young people.

The protests started last month, on Dec. 17, 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi lit himself on fire in protest over authorities confiscating his only means of support, a fruit and vegetable cart.

According to the Toronto Star, Bouazizi was forced to become a street vender when his family’s farm was shut down due to eminent domain purchases by the government.

While Bouazizi would later succumb to his wounds in a hospital on Jan. 4, his desperation served as a galvanizing moment for a Tunisian population suffering from a deteriorating living standard and high youth unemployment.

A broad range of Tunisians from every walk of life, from trade unionists and lawyers to musicians, journalists and religious leaders, had come together to call for the ouster of the long-standing and corrupt President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Serving as president for 23 years, Ben Ali was deemed “authoritarian” and “undemocratic” by Amnesty International and Freedom House

and routinely exiled his political opponents.

By Jan. 14, the protests had reached such a fevered peak that Ben Ali fled the country to seek sanctuary in Saudi Arabia, taking with him 1.5 tons of gold from the Central Bank of Tunisia.

Though the corrupt leader is gone, Tunisia is not out of the woods yet.

Since Ben Ali had effectively created a one-party state, there is now no opposition party to take over the government.

At first, power of the state was relinquished to Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi.

He was forced to resign within 24 hours because of improper succession claims by Tunisia’s Constitutional Court, and replaced with parliamentary speaker Fouad Mebazaa on Jan. 15.

Despite the unpredictable nature of how these events will end, citizens in other Arab countries are already pining for their own version.

In Egypt, still reeling from the after-effects of the Christmas bombing of a Coptic Christian church, there have been protests expressing solidarity with the Tunisians. Many Egyptians see similarities between Ben Ali’s thinly veiled dictatorship and their own under Hosni Mubarak, who has been president since 1981.

What makes this current political event relevant to American youth, though, is the role technology played.

Chris Kennedy, writing on the lengths with which the Tunisian government took to control the flow of information said, “With complete control of the comings and goings of Internet traffic in the country, the government was able to totally shut down the secure http’s protocol, forcing all Tuni-

Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and his wife Leila salute their supporters in the affluent Carthage neighborhood next to the capital, Tunis. sian users to use the less secure http protocol in order to log in to their accounts.

“Utilizing this vulnerability, the government hacked and phished its way into the accounts of popular anti-government activists, shutting them out without their consent or knowledge.”

To cancel this out, hacktivist group “Anonymous,” famous for its denial of service attacks on entities not supportive of WikiLeaks, declared “Operation Tunisia” on Jan. 2,

announcing: “The Tunisian government wants to control the present with falsehoods and misinformation in order to impose the future by keeping the truth hidden from its citizens. We will not remain silent while this happens. Anonymous has heard the claim for freedom of the Tunisian people. Anonymous is willing to help the Tunisian people in this fight against oppression.”

Within 24 hours, the national stock exchange, several government ministries and

the Palace website, were all hacked into unavailability.

As the situation unfolds, the world’s college-educated youth should pay attention to how the frustrated, unemployed youth of this relatively well-developed and educated nation handle themselves in this chaos.

Even with the abstention of violence from protestors and the refusal (early on) of troops to fire at protestors, estimates of civilian deaths number around 78, and theft is rampant.

ap

Though as American college students we may appear to be far from this scenario and other student-related protests in the world, keep in mind we share the same economic outlook as them upon graduation: Lower pay and higher prices for everyday goods.

We need to learn from their mistakes and commit ourselves in the trying times ahead to abhor violence and keep a cool head, as even the best-intended situations can spiral out of control.

The University needs to continue efforts to become more culturally united chelsea fuller opinion editor

Monday the country celebrated and honored the memory of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through vigils, programs, concerts and various other programs. Here at West Virginia University, community members gathered at the 21st Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast.

The breakfast has been a foundational tradition at the University since it began, but this year’s program was noticeably different. Though the room, the audience and the occasion were all basically the same, the message delivered by keynote speaker David M. Fryson honored King in a different and refreshing way.

Usually, keynote speakers at this event honored King by highlighting his many societal

contributions and, of course, the dream he outlined in his famous speech on Aug. 28, 1963. But Fryson, who is WVU Deputy General Counsel, paid homage to King not by spouting his quotes or a long list of his accomplishments, but by addressing important issues in our communities that King himself would be fighting to resolve.

A concern Fryson addressed that seemed to resonate with all of us in attendance was the need for more diversity and unity here at WVU. It is understandable that those two topics would be included in a commemorative speech honoring King, but the context in which he addressed them and the racial climate here didn’t point fingers or blame, it simply showed us that there is still a long way to go.

When it’s time to discuss racial climates and diversity, people either embrace it or reject it. Being that race and diversity are considered hot

button issues, people tend to approach them with a certain level of caution and reservation in hopes to minimize “tension.”

But Fryson reminded us that tension is not always a bad thing; in fact, a certain amount of tension is healthy and necessary to propel change.

“Tension can be good because we really need to have these kinds of conversations,” Fryson said.

This is a key element to overcoming some of the obstacles our community faces in regards to becoming more united. Many are willing to say racial issues need to be addressed on campus and that we need to work toward a more inclusive community, but not enough people are willing to actually participate in honest, uncomfortable conversations where the real issues are candidly addressed.

If you look throughout history, no issue as detrimental and binding as racism was

ever overcome without the creation of tension. With tension comes resistance, and resistance is and always will be one of the most effective agents of change.

Honest conversations about race and diversity might be unpleasant for some, but they are an educational tool that can make a monumental amount of difference. Once an individual participates in that kind of conversation, they automatically adopt a level of responsibility.

Regardless of how the knowledge was obtained, the individuals who absorbed it are obligated to share it with others. Fryson said, “We have an obligation and responsibility to discuss the need for diversity on this campus,” and he was absolutely right.

Too often people attend events like this, and once they leave, they do not share what they learned.

If we, as a community, want WVU to change and become

more unified, we are going to have to push the fear of creating tension and controversy to the side and start talking.

The definition of the word unity can vary based on who is using it. For us here at WVU, we are in need of both intercultural and intracultural unity. This means we must have discussions in our perspective cultural communities and also with those who reside outside of those communities.

Fryson also drew attention to the fact that people are the most honest and open about race and diversity when they are around people who look like them.

We will never make the necessary progress here at WVU if people do not become more open to discussing these issues with people outside of our own ethnic groups.

Instead of automatically becoming offended and defensive when someone approaches you with an issue dealing with race or diversity,

open up and welcome the discussion.

This University is not perfect, and the racial climate and inclusivity here are two of the most pressing issues. Lucky for us, we have a president and an administration dedicated to ensuring that WVU is a unified community. They can’t do it alone; we all have a responsibility and a role to play.

King was known for his sermons about love, unity, equality and faith.

Thanks to Fryson’s enlightened speech, members of the WVU community have been reminded that we have a chance to make the kind of change in our community King dreamed and worked for.

There is no better way to honor his memory than to make a conscious effort to unite this campus in the same way he united the nation.

We have come a long way, but as Fryson reminded us, we still have work to do, so let’s get to it.

Best, worst dressed at 2011 Golden Globe Awards megan puglisi a&e writer

The 2011 Golden Globes was a night for films like “The Social Network” and TV series like “Glee” to be honored, as well as for celebrities to make an appearance, dazzling the red carpet in their fashionable (and not so fashionable) attire.

If my jaw didn’t drop in awe of the magnificent gowns

worn by A-list celebrities, it dropped in astonishment due to the heinous choices some celebrities actually had the nerve to wear.

Though celebrities have the most prestigous fashion at their hands, mistakes are still made.

Here is a list of the six best and worst dressed at the 68th Golden Globe awards:

didn’t wear her usual designers, which made her look absolutely stunning.

Nominated for her role in “Black Swan,” she and her baby bump rocked the red carpet in a light pink satin flowing dress with a bright red detailed flower.

Olivia Wilde: Stepping out onto the red carpet in a sparkly Marchesa gown, I fell in love with her gown immediately.

BEST DRESSED: It was refreshing to witness Natalie Portman: Wearing designer Viktor & Rolf, she a gown with plenty of volume surprised viewers when she and sparkle, for a change.

The sparkle didn’t stop underneath the dress either. Her Christian Louboutin six-inch heels were decked out with glitter too. Talk about dazzling the red carpet.

Mila Kunis: Is there anything she doesn’t look great in? It comes as a no-brainer that Kunis is listed as one of the best dressed.

She wore a one-shoulder, emerald green Vera Wang gown with beautiful, pleated details served as trendy and chic, topped with subtle makeup and a feminine updo.

WORST DRESSED: Helena Bonham Carter: So, so wrong.

From her mangled mane to her mismatched heels, this ensemble was a train wreck.

This should have been burned in the thrift shop it looks like it came from.

Tilda Swinton: I’m all about expressing yourself with a unique sense of style but this, I just don’t understand.

Wearing a button-up from The Gap and a tablecloth

around your waste is not what I pictured for the red carpet.

Michelle Williams: I’m almost positive Michelle, Tilda and Helena went shopping together for their puke-worthy dresses.

Williams should take a little more time smelling the roses instead of wearing her garden on the red carpet.

Nothing about this dress is remotely appealing or trendy.

Better luck next year. megan.puglisi@mail.wvu.edu

Youth takes home Miss America crown LAS VEGAS (AP) — A 17-yearold Nebraskan too young to cast a ballot has captured enough votes to win the Miss America crown, kickstarting her hopes of going to law school and eventually becoming a politician.

“I want to be there making sure that I stand up for what’s right, stand up for integrity and honesty,” Teresa Scanlan told The Associated Press on Saturday night after becoming the first Miss America from the Cornhusker State.

She won a $50,000 scholarship and a year’s reign in one of the most visible positions any young woman could seek.

Scanlan captured the hearts of seven judges after a night of playing the piano, walking across a Las Vegas stage in a white gown and black bikini, and saying security trumps the public’s right to knowledge when it comes to government leaks.

She said she’ll register to vote as an independent after turning 18 next month, and work toward her goals by going to law school and perhaps becoming a prosecutor, then a judge.

“At this point, attorneys and politicians are looked down on and have terrible reputations for being greedy and power hungry and I really think it’s important for people who have their heart and mind in the right place get into those powerful positions,” Scanlan told the AP. “When I talk to kids my age, I don’t find very many who are interested in that, because many are just turned off to the idea,” she said. “I think it’s important that we get a lot more of my generation willing to step up and go into those positions.”

Scanlan beat out 52 beauty queens from other U.S. states, plus Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. could do the job.

She’s the youngest Miss America since the pageant implemented age limits in 1938.

Rosemary LaPlanche was runner-up in 1940 and easily won the crown in 1941 despite being one month too young to compete.

Scanlan said age didn’t matter as the pageant celebrated its 90th birthday, though she thought her age might have made her an underdog.

“We were on an even playing field,” she said. “From 17 to 24, that can be a huge age range. But with these girls, they are all at the highest level imaginable.”

Miss Arkansas Alyse Eady won $25,000 as first runnerup, while Miss Hawaii Jalee Fuselier won $20,000 for third place.

Scanlan, a recent high school graduate from the western Nebraska town of Gering, planned to study American politics at Patrick Henry College in Virginia after her reign as Miss America.

Scanlan said she planned to defer her university enrollment until she finishes her reign with the crown.

During the nationally televised pageant, Scanlan an-

swered a question about Wikileaks by saying the United States should focus on security first.

“You know when it came to that situation, it was actually based on espionage, and when it comes to the security of our nation, we have to focus on security first and then people’s right to know, because it’s so important that everybody who’s in our borders is safe and so we can’t let things like that happen, and they must be handled properly,” she said.

The contestants – from every state plus the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico – started the show by dancing up the aisles while wearing silver cocktail dresses.

A panel of seven judges eyed them for looks and fitness. The competition included evening gown, talent and interview portions, with eliminations for 15 finalists, then 12, then 10, five and finally the winner along the way.

The judges had picked the three top finishers plus Miss Oklahoma Emoly West; Miss Texas Ashley Melnick; Miss Rhode Island Deborah SaintVil; Miss Utah Christina Lowe; Miss Washington Jacquie Brown; Miss Arizona Kathryn Bulkley; Miss Virginia Caitlin Uze, and Miss California Arianna Afsar.

‘Inception’ was snubbed for all of its nominations at the 68th Annual Golden Globe awards.

some deserving winners.

“Toy Story 3” was rightly awarded Best Animated Picture. Any movie that makes you cry about the demise of several plastic toys deserves your respect.

“Modern Family” was upset from its only nomination, after losing to Chris Colfer from

“Glee.”

His speech was inspiring, using the audience at home to send a message against bullying, not just congratulating himself and his achievement.

His award almost caused his castmates at the “Glee” table to perish from dehydration. Lea Michele, who plays Rachel in the show, almost shed her bodyweight in tears.

The Globes was mostly uninspiring, with a lot of bland

choices and a few obvious favorites.

Any time “Red” can somehow make an awards ceremony, you know you’re stretching.

But still ... how could “Inception” not win anything?

And how could Johnny Depp lose – twice – against Paul Giamatti, the villain from “Big Fat Liar?” david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you open up to many new concepts. How this process begins will be your call. If you honor your inner voice, your life will flow. If single, meeting people is easy.

Developing a relationship is another issue. Look to summer 2011 for an exciting romantic opportunity. If attached, walk away from fighting. Learn to respect your differences. Drop controlling behavior. CANCER has the same issues as you. Their approach is different.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Pressure starts feeling like the norm. A boss makes demands that really cannot be met at this point. Brainstorm away, and you’ll find solutions that could appeal to both parties. Do not stay longer at work than need be. Tonight: Home is where the heart is.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Keep stretching past an original plan or concept. You might need more feedback in order to get past a self-imposed restriction. You are in the process of liberating your thinking, which could impact many different areas. Tonight: Dodge a problem person.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Do you feel pressured? Is it of your own design or a realistic problem? Be careful in your dealings with others. Someone might be far more manipulative than you realize. Keep your eyes wide open! Tonight: If hitting a wall, back off or jump over; stop walking into it.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH

Your best efforts could get thwarted.

You have hit a major road block, be it a person, several people or a structure in the system. When this type of event occurs, back off. Use this blockage to take a break or to change plans. Tonight: Play it low-key.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Assuming a low-key role with others remains the smart action. Use extra time well, doing research or going off to do what you want. Pressure builds around people and crowds. Imagine having time just for you. Tonight: Secretive work.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH One person makes a demand that puts you in a position of disappointing others. You might be juggling far more than any one person can handle. Understanding will evolve, and solutions appear if you do not act but detach.

Trust your mind. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH You handle the lion’s share of responsibility at home and at work. You might feel most uncomfortable with what is on your plate. Do not react, but consider letting go of one responsibility or consolidating, if possible. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Just as you seem to be on cruise control, a boomerang lands in your path.

You make an adjustment, internalizing and acting on the implications of the boomerang. Once more on cruise control, another boomerang lands on your path, and once more ... Such is your day.

Tonight: Hang out on the computer!

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Restructure your finances so they work for you, not someone else. If you look at a money situation openly and without bias, you might understand where someone is coming from, whether or not you choose that path.

Focus on the long term. Do not sell yourself out. Tonight: Accept an offer.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH If you see a lot of flak around you, hold up the mirror. Is it possible that you are being demanding, controlling and/or caustic? Yes, you. If involved in a power play, the only way to win is not to play.

Let others play out their stuff without you. Tonight: What you want.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH It might be easier to revamp your thinking than demanding that others change, which is unlikely to happen.

Maintain your schedule, even if working through an issue. Relax by doing errands, working and distracting yourself. Tonight: Go for a walk, or find another stressbuster.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your creative drive points to a special path, one which others might balk at and back off from. You understand the implications but decide the risk is probably worth it. Do not allow others’ manipulations to impact you. Tonight: Go where spontaneity dominates.

WVU hangs on for 68-64 upset

brian gawthrop sports writer

Huggins declares win over Purdue as best team effort of the season

Mountaineers make most of opportunity

by brian kuppelweiser

It didn’t take long for the debate on whether or not the West Virginia student section should storm the court to start.

In fact, it began long before the Mountaineers’ win over Purdue Sunday was even official.

The arguments were fair: How could WVU rush the court by beating the eighthranked team after reaching the Final Four a season ago?

Even more, it’s too early in the season to storm the floor.

It’s not even February yet, and not even a Big East Conference game.

I admit, I was one of those who hoped students would stay put in their seats while celebrating a win over the Boilermakers. It would have shown how much the program has grown and how expectations have been raised.

Maybe the move didn’t shine the best light on the program. Maybe WVU students broke many of the unwritten rules of rushing the court and five of Rick Reilly’s noted 11 regulations for the action.

But with what this team was able to accomplish Sunday, and in the past week for that matter, anything less than covering the court with gold would have been a disappointment.

This so-called “selfish” WVU team filled with so-called “misfits” beat the so-called No. 8 team in the country. The team with no go-to players, few wins to boast about and no rankings to put in front of its name showed up one of the best big men in the country in JaJuan Johnson and the second-best team in the Big 10 Conference.

Welcome back to the big time, West Virginia.

Sure, WVU had won three straight entering Sunday’s matchup. But let’s be honest: The victories weren’t as impressive as they could have been. They came against three of the four worst teams in the Big East. Even West Virginia’s upset over then-No. 13 Georgetown wasn’t all too striking, as beating the Hoyas has been one of the easier things to do in the conference since the start of the new year.

Before, it was hard to tell where the Mountaineers ranked inside the Big East after being embarrassed by St. John’s and Marquette. But after its win over Purdue Sunday, WVU easily fits inside the top 10 in the conference – an all-important position come NCAA Tournament selection time.

The team took advantage of the best opportunity it has had thus far this season. In front of a national audience against a top-10, out-of-conference team at home, West Virginia seized the moment.

After giving up its halftime lead and going down by six with 14:17 remaining, it could have given up.

But quitting hasn’t been a characteristic of this team, and it surely won’t be for the rest of the season.

Like head coach Bob Huggins said after, the win was as much of a team effort as any game the Mountaineers have played this season. It would be hard to name one player on the WVU roster who played a considerable amount of minutes and didn’t make a gamechanging play.

From John Flowers’

sports writer

The West Virginia men’s basketball team did not disappoint Sunday against No. 8 Purdue, and for that matter, neither did Mountaineer Nation.

With help from the boisterous, sold-out crowd of 14,137, the Mountaineers (12-4) upset the Boilermakers (15-3) 68-64. The anticipation of victory over the final 12 minutes forced a gold mob of WVU students onto the court following the final buzzer.

It was the second top-10 team West Virginia has beaten at home in head coach Bob Huggins’ more than threeyear tenure at the school.

Huggins called it a “total team effort.”

“That’s why we play our heart out for the state of West Virginia,” said junior forward Kevin Jones, who led the Mountaineers with 17 points and nine rebounds. “It was a great crowd ... They enjoyed the win with us by rushing the court.”

One student who rushed the court hung off the rim WVU had just hit clutch free throws at seconds before and helped earn what players considered to be a statement victory.

“Our fan base is like our sixth man,” said point guard Truck Bryant after he hit two free throws with less than four seconds to play to seal the victory. “They help us in so many ways, and when they enter the game, that just pumps us up.”

Mountaineers find a way to win without Butler

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

West Virginia didn’t need Da’Sean Butler this time.

The new-look Mountaineers pulled off their own signature victory Sunday – without a buzzer beater from their former superstar.

Butler, who helped lead WVU to the Final Four last season, stood behind the team’s bench as fans started rushing the court following a 68-64 upset of No. 8 Purdue.

Those players who celebrated with the golden mob did so knowing they didn’t choke down the stretch against a top-10 opponent for the first time since Butler departed.

“Da’Sean used to take the ball, and he would make the play,” said WVU forward Deniz Kilicli.

Butler, the program’s thirdleading scorer, hit more than a handful of gamewinning shots for the Mountaineers. So, it was a difficult transition when WVU had to play a close second half without their superstar.

The Mountaineers lost close games against Minnesota, Miami, St. John’s and Marquette in the first 12 games of the season.

missed a 3-pointer with eight seconds to go, and Bryant hit two free throws to build a four point lead with four seconds to go.

A jumper by JaJuan Johnson with two seconds left kept the Boilermakers’ hopes alive, but forward John Flowers made the first of two free throws to end any hopes of a miracle comeback by the Boilermakers.

The Mountaineers had to fight back in the second half.

Despite leading at halftime, they were down by six points with less than 12 minutes.

Clutch shots from just about every player on the court gave West Virginia a lead with less than six minutes to play that would never drop below two points the rest of the game.

The game included 11 lead changes, seven ties and no lead greater than six points.

“We had been through so many situations like that,” Bryant said. “It is just second nature to us, because we know that we are able to come back.”

After turning the ball over 13 times in the first half, the Mountaineers had just four turnovers in the second half.

“That is just not like us,” said Bryant of the team’s turnover woes in the first half. “It wasn’t just one of us turning the ball over. We did a terrible job of taking care of the ball.”

Besides Jones’ 17 points, forward John Flowers scored 15, Bryant had 12, and point guard Joe Mazzulla had 10.

ery player on the court in the final 12 minutes had some sort of effect on the outcome of the game. WVU head coach Bob Huggins called it a total team effort.

“You can point to a lot of guys and say that they made huge plays for us,” Huggins said.

When the Mountaineers went down by six with less than 12 minutes to play, WVU went on a 12-4 run led by nine points from Jones and a 3-pointer from Flowers.

Later in the second half, guard Casey Mitchell scored three of his six points on a baseline jumper and free throw with 5:28 to go, giving WVU a 55-52 lead.

Later, Flowers hit his second 3-pointer of the game – and seventh of the season – to give WVU its largest lead of the game at six with 4:23 to go.

Following that, the Mountaineers received a hook shot from Kilicli, with the shot clock nearing zero, and a tough jumper by Flowers to keep a four-point lead.

Out of a timeout with less than two minutes to play, Mitchell missed a three, but Kilicli out-jumped the entire Purdue lineup for the offensive rebound – a problem Huggins has gotten on Kilicli for not being able to do – which led to a Mazzulla layup as the shot clock expired with less than a minute to play.

“We lost some games that we shouldn’t. So, we know when we’re losing to not freak out anymore,” Kilicli said. “We know what’s going to happen now, and we work with a clear mind.”

Mazzulla pulled down two clutch rebounds off missed Purdue shots – and the last he dished to Truck Bryant, who

hit two free throws to seal the victory.

Flowers hit another free throw with two seconds to play, too.

“We’ve been through this before,” said Bryant citing last year’s Final Four run. “We’re an experienced bunch. All of us, for the most part, have been here for three years, so we know what we’re doing out there.

“When it comes down to the wire, we’re all in this together, and we know what we’ve got to do to win.”

Overall, four players scored in double-figures for the Mountaineers, led by Jones’ 17.

They were able to control a game that had 11 lead changes, seven ties and never saw a lead of more than six points.

“It shows growth, it shows maturity, and I think together as a bunch that we are starting to get a lot better and trust each other a lot more,” Bryant said. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

Behind Zublasing, WVU sets records against Zips by brad joyal sports writer

Just when it seemed as if the No. 1 West Virginia rifle team struck gold with the addition of Florence, Italy, native Nicco Campriani, the Mountaineers found another gem.

Making her debut for WVU, sophomore Petra Zublasing, an Appiano, Italy, native, finished first with an aggregate score of 1,183 against Akron this weekend in a 4,694-4,540 win.

Zublasing tallied firstplace finishes in each discipline, shooting scores of 597 and 586 in air rifle and smallbore, respectively.

West Virginia (8-1, 5-0 GARC) shot a school-record 2,374 on air rifle, along with the highest discipline score ever in the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association.

Campriani (595), Tommy Santelli (592) and Andy Lamson (590) added to Zublasing’s first-place finish to compile the team’s air rifle score.

WVU’s smallbore score of 2,320 gave the team the discipline sweep, as Akron shot 2,297 and 2,243 in air rifle and smallbore, respectively.

The Mountaineers captured the top four places in both disciplines.

Campriani and Santelli each posted aggregate scores of 1,175 to finish in second place, while Brandi Eskew shot a season-best combined score of 1,172 to finish fourth.

Ryan Stein, with a 1,141, led the Zips.

Eskew put forth one of her best performances at WVU, shooting a season-high smallbore score of 585 to finish in second place, while also posting a season-high score in air rifle (587).

WVU coach Jon Hammond did not return phone calls, and an interview request was not fulfilled by press time.

Like Campriani a year ago, Zublasing was forced to miss the first half of the season after competing on the Italian national team. Her strong reputation in international shooting includes a secondplace finish in air rifle at the 2009 Milan World Cup, along with the junior women’s air rifle title at the 2009 European Championships in Prague.

West Virginia improved its record to 9-0 against Akron.

Gillespie finishes first at Doug Raymond Invite by derek denneny sports writer

Redshirt freshman Kaitlyn Gillespie’s first-place finish in the 1,000-meter race led the West Virginia track team Sunday at the Doug Raymond Invitational.

The Mountaineers took first place in four other events and also recorded a second and third-place finish.

“I was pleased with our team this weekend, and I felt the group did a great job moving forward in just one week,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “Our objective is to continue improving weekin and week-out through the championships portion of the season.”

man Katlyn Shelar notched first place in the high jump and pole vault, respectively.

Sophomore Aubrey Moskal finished third in the mile while the distance medley team of Jessica O’Connell, Keri Bland, Kaylyn Christopher and Kate Harrison finished second.

The Mountaineers will be back in action Saturday when they host the State Farm Games.

It will be the team’s last home meet before the Big East Conference Indoor Championships on Feb. 19.

“The last two weekends we have gotten on a bus at 5:55 a.m. and traveled to our meets,” he said. “This weekend we will get the chance to sleep in our own beds and compete at our home track.” derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

Tuesday January 18, 2011

When West Virginia women’s basketball coach Mike Carey went into halftime with a one-point lead over Syracuse, he was a bit worried.

His sixth-ranked squad was out-rebounded in the first half and turned it over 10 times. But, the veteran coach had a superstar Saturday to turn to: Madina Ali. The Mountaineer (17-1, 4-1 Big East Conference) senior scored a career-high 32 points and added 10 rebounds in the 70-61 victory over then-25th ranked Orange (13-4, 1-3). It was her seventh double-double of the season.

“She had a monster day,” said SU coach Quentin Hillsman. “She took advantage of us and had a very strong game,

and I have to give her credit.”

The Williamsport, Pa., native was just the seventh player in program history to have as many points and rebounds in a game. It was also just the second time since 1995 the feat has been done.

“Madina was everywhere tonight: rebounding, scoring and she hit a three,” said forward Liz Repella. “She played an awesome game today and really picked us up and put us on her shoulders.”

Ali was a bit more modest.

“It’s just a matter of our teammates rotating and finding the open person,” she said.

“Coach was saying to go up strong when we have the opportunity and be smart about it. It feels good knowing that I’m out there helping the team in any way I can.”

Outside of Ali, WVU couldn’t

get much production from the team’s other players. Repella, who scored 12 points, was the only other player to score more than eight.

West Virginia earned the win after suffering its first loss in the team’s last game against Marquette. Prior to Saturday’s game, Carey said Syracuse was even better than the Golden Eagles, and the Orange was up for the test on the road versus top 10 WVU. “Both teams had a lot of athletes; that’s the Big East,” Carey said. “It’s kind of hard sometimes as a player to know whether you can be physical or if you can’t.”

The turning point of the game came with less than six minutes to play. Guard Vanessa House hit a three to give WVU a 56-52 lead. A minute later, the Mountaineers went on a 7-0 run to

officially put the game away.

In that span, freshman Brooke Hampton nailed one from behind the arc, and Ali chipped in with her lone 3-point shot of the game.

Guard Elashier Hall led Syracuse with 20 points, eight above her season average.

West Virginia held Syracuse to 39.2 percent from the field.

The Mountaineers shot 41.1 percent. Syracuse made just 3-of-11 3-pointers. WVU made 7-of-16 attempts from beyond the arc.

WVU was out-rebounded by the Orange 39-36. Despite that, Carey was pleased overall with the team’s defensive effort.

“I thought we did a great job on the glass,” Carey said.

“They’re leading the conference in rebounds, so I was happy.” matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

WVU improves from loss to Marquette

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS WRITER

Before the West Virginia women’s basketball team lost on the road at Marquette on Jan. 11, the Mountaineers hadn’t tasted defeat since their second round loss to San Diego State in the NCAA Tournament last March.

The loss left WVU at a crossroads where it could either sulk, or attempt to start a new winning streak.

With their 70-61 win over Syracuse Saturday, it was obvious the Mountaineers chose the latter.

“After losing, you have that taste in your mouth until you get back on the court,” said WVU senior Liz Repella. “So everyone was just excited to get back into the flow of things again. “(The Marquette game) was the first time where a team made us pay for (our mistakes), and we lost because of it. We took a

lot from that film and learned from the loss.”

At times during West Virginia’s win over the Orange, it appeared the Mountaineers may come up short again.

With a six-point advantage with a little more than nine minutes left in the first half, WVU went cold. Five minutes, seven missed field goals and two turnovers later, the Mountaineers found themselves behind by five points.

It was a time when WVU found out what it was truly made of.

Vanessa House nailed a 3-pointer to finally stop the Syracuse run, and WVU was able to get big shots from the perimeter from Brooke Hampton and a surprising three from Madina Ali to shatter any hopes the Orange had of coming away with the upset.

“Win or lose that game, I thought our girls played hard and with a lot of heart,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “Brooke hit a big three; Madina hit a big three; Vanessa hit a couple big threes when we needed them. I was happy with that.”

That kind of timely shooting and the number of players who can step up and make shots at any time are the things that makes this WVU team as dangerous as any team in the country.

And it’s something that didn’t go unnoticed by the opposing

coach.

“Obviously, you can see why West Virginia is a top-10 team,” said Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman. “They came down the stretch and did some things to turn the tide of the game.”

Carey said the crowd of 3,086 on hand to watch the game at the WVU Coliseum also had a factor in the outcome of the game.

“It made a big difference. Our fan support is getting better and better,” Carey said. “We’re all doing a better job of making it an event instead of just a game.”

But, even bigger than the previous two factors in the game, the Mountaineers played better defense against Syracuse than in its loss to Marquette last Tuesday.

When the Golden Eagles made the game close and eventually took the lead, WVU wasn’t able to make enough stops on the defensive end to have a chance to get back in the game.

Saturday, however, West Virginia didn’t budge defensively, especially in the second half. WVU allowed the Orange to shoot just 39.2 percent and forced nine turnovers.

“Defensively (against Marquette), we were just a step slow.

It was almost like we didn’t want it that game,” Repella said. “It was hard to watch, and we knew that we needed to be quicker, communicate, and play as one.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Wrestling blows 12-0 lead vs. Spartans

BY SEBOUH MAJARIAN SPORTS WRITER

It was an unusual setting for a West Virginia gymnastics meet Saturday at the WVU Coliseum.

With the Coliseum floor divided between the Mountaineer gymnastics and wrestling teams for the school’s firstever “Beauty and the Beast” event, the wrestling mat and gymnastics apparatuses stood side-by-side.

The result, at least for the West Virginia gymnasts, went as expected.

The 13th-ranked Mountaineers earned a 194.00-192.575 victory over Michigan State (0-4) to improve to 2-0 on the season.

The performance came in front of a crowd of 3,206 – the largest crowd to attend a WVU wrestling meet and the third

largest to attend a West Virginia gymnastics meet.

According to West Virginia head coach Linda BurdetteGood, the crowd surpassed the target number that the West Virginia marketing team had hoped for.

“It was awesome,” said senior Amy Bieski. “I hope they do it again next year, too.”

Michigan State’s Shanthi Teike finished first overall in the all-around with a 38.725, but WVU took the next two spots.

Mountaineer sophomore Kaylyn Millick finished second with a 38.5 while Bieski finished third with a 37.75 showing.

“They kept hanging in there, and they didn’t let the pressure get to them,” BurdetteGood said. “When they made a mistake, they regrouped and finish strong.”

Bieski and freshman Hope Sloanhoffer led West Virginia on the floor as they both finished first overall with marks of 9.825, while Tina Maloney placed third with a 9.8 showing.

WVU outscored the Spartans 48.8-48.45 in the event.

Sloanhoffer continued to excel even with the added pressure as she earned a 9.875 on the beam to lead the Mountaineers to a 48.125-47.2 victory in the event. WVU representatives took four of the top five spots on the beam.

West Virginia also topped Michigan State on the vault, 48.325-48.1, but the Spartans won the bars, 48.825-48.75.

A record-setting crowd of 3,206 showed up at the WVU Coliseum Friday for the firstever “Beauty and the Beast” West Virginia wrestling and gymnastics event.

Craig Turnbull wanted each one of them to go home happy.

But the West Virginia head wrestling coach couldn’t pull away with the victory as the Mountaineers were defeated

by Michigan State, 21-18.

“It’s a match that could have been won,” Turnbull said. “That’s why you wrestle.

It would have been great to (win) in front of a great crowd like that. It was a hard-fought wrestling match and (Michigan State) did a nice job.”

WVU began the night with a 12-0 lead. Sophomore

Shane Young (125 pounds), redshirt freshman Nathan Pennesi (133 pounds) and freshman Michael Morales (155 pounds) all picked up lopsided victories over their Spartan opponents.

Dan Osterman picked up the first points for MSU when he took down WVU’s Brandon Rader in 3.53 seconds in the 149-pound weight class.

Turnbull believed the 157-pound match was a definite win for the Mountaineers, but Ryan Goodman lost a 5-2 decision.

Goodman was able to lift the leg of Michigan State’s Sean McMurray four times, but couldn’t hold him to earn a point.

Despite being visibly upset with the officiating, Turnbull said it’s on the wrestlers to get the job done, not the referees.

“That was disappointing, but sometimes you have to win the match more than once,” he said. “Officials sometimes call it the way you think or don’t, but you do have to find a way to win.”

The biggest surprise of the match was WVU’s Alexander Meade. The transfer from Oklahoma State made his Mountaineer debut and impressed his head coach.

Although he fell to MSU’s Curran Jacobs, Meade earned five points and the respect of Turnbull.

Jacobs entered ranked 20th nationally.

“When he was laying out there, totally empty, that impresses me,” Turnbull said.

“He’s one match closer to getting in shape and he’s going to be something special.” matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

but it was a good experience and we came away healthy,” said WVU head coach Linda Burdette-Good.

West Virginia is now 1-1 against ranked opponents this season and 0-7 all-time against Georgia.

The Gym Dogs outscored the Mountaineers 48.875-48.375 on vault and 49.45-47.85 on bars.

Georgia increased its lead by claiming a 49.15-47.525 win on

the beam and a 49.25-48.375 victory on floor.

Senior all-arounder Amy Bieski recorded her 17th career 39.0-plus mark as she finished third overall with a score of 39.

Bieski scored highest on her floor routine with a 9.825, good for fifth place.

Sophomore Kaylyn Millick scored a 9.8 on the beam apparatus and led the floor rotation with a 9.675. Millick would finish fourth overall with 38.125

points.

The Gym Dogs placed in the top two in all four events and were led by Cassidy McComb, who finished first on the beam with a mark of 9.9 and a 9.925 floor.

Georgia had seven gymnasts finish with scores of 9.9 or higher, six of which came on floor and uneven bars.

“They are pretty darn good, so it’s pretty difficult (to keep up),” Burdette-Good said.

Purdue last season and had lost the previous five meetings to the Boilermakers.

Johnson finished with a game-high 26 points to go along with seven rebounds for Purdue. He was 10-of-17 from the field.

“He’s probably as hard to guard as any big guy we’ve played in the three and a half years I’ve been here,” Huggins said.

Outside of Johnson, guard E’Twaun Moore had 14 and guard Lewis Jackson had 10.

“She’s becoming quite a competitor and I really like that.”

Burdette-Good saw the trip as good learning experience, especially competing inside the Stegeman Coliseum,

which the veteran head coach described as quite a show.
