HSC professor found dead Saturday by erin fitzwilliams associate city editor

A professor was found dead at the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center Saturday. Dr. Michael Morissette, 38, assistant professor of exercise physiology, was found in his HSC laboratory at approximately 1 p.m. Preliminary investigations led by the University Police Department concluded there was no foul play, but the death was

accidental, said University Police Chief Bob Roberts. Roberts said cause of death has not yet been determined, and the police are waiting for the medical examiner’s report to continue the investigation. 911 dispatched medical examiners to the scene at 1:34 p.m. on Jan. 22, according to the Monongalia Emergency Centralized Communications Agency. Angela Jones, Health Sciences public relations specialist, said in a statement the

community is saddened by the death of Morissette. Jones said he was a valuable faculty member and an accomplished scientist who will be missed greatly, especially by his colleagues in Exercise Physiology and the Center for Cardiovascular and Respiratory Sciences. “These tragedies are extremely painful for us as individuals and as a community of scholars and health professionals. It cuts to the core of our sense of self and underscores

our vulnerabilities,” Jones said in a statement. “It also reinforces our need for mutual support, not only in our daily work, but as fellow travelers in this life. We extend our sincere condolences to Dr. Morissette’s family.” Health Sciences Chancellor Christopher Colenda said in a statement that Dr. MaryBeth Mandich, Division of Physical Therapy Associate Dean, is working with those most directly affected by the death in the department and is reaching

out to the family of Morissette. “I don’t say this enough, but thank you for what you do every day,” Colenda said in his statement. “Let us learn from this tragedy and provide comfort to Dr. Morissette’s family.” Morissette leaves behind a wife and two children, a daughter and a son. He joined the WVU School of Medicine faculty in December 2008 as an assistant professor of Exercise Physiology.

Greeks discuss Wake up and smell the coffee issues at SGA Speak Up forum by Charles Young staff writer

Members of fraternities and sororities at West Virginia University discussed hazing and Greek life’s image on campus during a Speak Up event hosted by the Student Government Association Monday. SGA Govs. Megan Callaghan and Omar Wazir headed a panel that included University administrators; members of SGA; Ron Justice, the director of Student Organizations Services; and Bob Kent, program advisor for SOS. The panel fielded questions from an audience of more than 75 students who included representatives from various fraternities and sororities. After two incidents of alleged hazings on campus in 2010, some students ex-

pressed concern for the image of Greek life on campus. “I think there are a lot more good things that go on in Greek life, and that often gets overshadowed,” said Allison Jarrett, a member of the Chi Omega sorority. Justice said he is working on promoting the good things Greeks accomplish. Greeks should focus on more community outreach, he added. Katie Pappa a member of the Alpha Phi sorority, asked about the possibility of Greeks-only seating at sporting events. The idea was supported by both Callaghan and Justice. “When I went to school, which was many years ago, we had this, and it was a nice touch,” Justice said. “It has not to my knowledge been

Second Student Organizations Fair more successful than first by lydia nuzum Correspondent

More than 150 students at West Virginia University attended the second Student Organizations Fair held for four hours in the Mountainlair Monday. Student Government Association Gov. Jason Bailey, who coordinated the event, said 54 of at least 200 organizations reserved spots, and around 50 organization attended. He said it was an improvement from recent years. “The process with the organizations was much more successful,” he said. “A lot more were participating from the organization themselves.” The fair gave students an opportunity to learn about various on-campus organizations. Some new clubs and orga-

nizations were added to the fair this year such as the WVU Marketing Club, the Role Playing Club and different clubs from the Health Sciences Campus, Bailey said. WVU Marketing Club president Elizabeth Richter, a senior marketing major, said although her organization has existed for several years, she recently joined the mailing list for the fair. Jamie Chapman, the executive director of student organizations for SGA, said the event was promoted as much as possible through fliers, banners and Facebook. The event was successful and had a constant flow of students coming in to visit between classes, Chapman said, and Bailey agreed.

WVU College of Law opens first Starbucks Cafe to low turnout BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR

Less customers attended the Starbucks Cafe grand opening than expected at the West Virginia University College of Law, but Ashley Steed, Starbucks Cafe supervisor, said she is optimistic the numbers will increase soon. Starbucks Cafe, in partnership with Barnes & Noble Bookstores, opened in the College of Law Monday, making it the first store in the College to offer coffee and pastries. “The thing about classes at the Law School is that they last all day,” Steed said. “I expect it to pick up once people figure out how to work getting their coffee into their schedules.” She said she wants the cafe to be as profitable as the Starbucks located on the Downtown Campus, where she used to work. “Being downtown, there is

A student group at West Virginia University is raising funds from coffee sales to aid a loan that will help a co-op in Nicaragua buy supplies. Fair Trade 2.0, the student group, was formed at the beginning of last semester to aid the co-op in San Ramon, Nicaragua. The money goes to forming a “micro-loan” for the co-op to invest in cows, chickens and to start a garden market, said

Amanda Rivera, senior geography major and campaign organizer for the group. During finals week of last semester, the group raised approximately $1,000 by selling coffee during events called the “Cafe con Leche Campaign.” They ordered and sold about 100 pounds of coffee, Rivera said. “We gave away free coffee in the first floor of Brooks Hall and asked for donations,” she said. “We handed out order forms and told our friends and pro-

The group’s other goals are to look at food issues within West Virginia, said Bradley Wilson, professor of geography. “We’re linking up with West Virginia Food and Farm Coalition, because we’re interested in sustainable food issues within our state. We want to work with farmer’s markets, food deserts and nutrition efforts,” Wil-

Dropout, graduation rates return as W.Va. legislative session topics

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has made education a major part of his session agenda, but faces the same hurdles that stymied his predecessor on this front. Four of the 12 measures introduced on Tomblin’s behalf as of Monday focus on West Virginia’s public schools. Two of them, proposing annual educator evaluations and targeting low-performing schools, were championed by former Gov. Joe Manchin but faltered during a July special legislative session. Of the other measures, one would offer certified math and science teachers up to $10,000 to pay off student loans if they go to parts of the state suffering shortages of teachers in those subject areas. The other calls on the state Department of Education to develop a system to identify at-

risk students. It would then create a new state fund so schools could apply for money to test anti-dropout pilot programs. House Education Chairwoman Mary Poling said she wants to ensure that early warning system is the same one described in Tomblin’s measure addressing low-performing schools. That proposal seeks to identify students offtrack for graduating on time, and to raise the state’s graduation rate goal from 80 percent to 90 percent West Virginia reported a 77 percent high school graduation rate in 2008, slightly above the national rate. Poling also noted that the House in July balked at the short time frames for turning around low-performing school found in Manchin’s failed bill, which the pending measure echoes. “There have been a lot of questions about how that im-

provement can be actually shown” within those deadlines, said Poling, D-Barbour and a retired educator. Senate Education Chairman Robert Plymale expressed support for Tomblin’s approach, as the Senate had passed Manchin’s July bill. “We think it’s an important enough issue. We do plan on working on it,” the Wayne County Democrat said. Tomblin’s educator evaluation measure also appears drawn from the July session. It mirrors the version of Manchin’s legislation that the House amended but that the Senate then refused to accept. Both chairs expressed concerns about this proposal because a stakeholder group has not finished its study of the issue. “They have not yet completed their recommendations,” Poling said. “There’s no

immediate need for this bill.” Plymale agreed that the task force’s review remains incomplete. “The group has been working at a snail’s pace,” he said. Plymale also said his committee has make tackling the state’s estimated 17 percent dropout rate a priority. Each also expressed support for the concept of a student loan forgiveness program, though Poling questioned its scope. “I would want to make sure that all schools and geographic areas have access to that incentive, if they do indeed have shortages,” Poling said. Poling also expects Tomblin to propose another failed bill from the July session, this one offering alternate ways to certify teachers. Poling expects opposition to that measure from critics who believe the approach waters down certification standards.

State of the Union: It’s the economy, again WASHINGTON (AP) — Standing before a nation clamoring for jobs, President Barack Obama will call for targeted spending to boost the economy but also for budget cutting in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, his first in a new era of divided political power. To a television audience in the tens of millions, Obama will home in on jobs, the issue of most importance to the public and to his hopes for a second term. Though war and other concerns bid for attention, the president has chosen to lean heavily on the economy, with far less emphasis on Afghanistan and Iraq, terrorism and foreign affairs. Specifically, Obama will focus on improving the education, innovation and infrastructure of the United States as the way to provide a sounder economic base. He will pair that with calls to reduce the government’s debt – now topping a staggering $14 trillion – and reforming government. Those five areas will frame the speech, with sprinklings of fresh proposals. Yet no matter how ambitious Obama’s rhetorical reach, his speech at the halfway point of his term will be viewed in the context of his new political reality. The midterm elections gave Republicans control of the House and a stronger minority vote in the Senate, meaning he hasn’t the option of pushing through changes over strong GOP objections. The contrast between the two parties’ visions remains stark, and the

debate about where to slash spending, and by how much, will drive much of the debate for the rest of 2011. As if to underscore that point, Obama’s speech will come just hours after the House is to vote on setting spending for the rest of the year at 2008, pre-recession levels. That resolution, largely symbolic, would put Republican lawmakers on record in favor of cutting $100 billion from Obama’s budget for the current year as the party promised in last year’s campaign. The atmospherics of the State of the Union, always watched with some fascination as a display of political theater, are expected to be more sober and civil than in recent years. The speech comes less than three weeks after an assassination attempt against Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Ariz. She is recovering remarkably after being shot in the head during a oneman rampage that left six dead. Among those who will sit with first lady Michelle Obama at the president’s speech will be the family of a 9-year-old girl who was killed, an aide to Giffords who rushed to help her at the shooting, and trauma surgeons who have treated the wounded lawmaker. In an attempt at unity following an attack on one of their own, some Democratic and Republican lawmakers will sit together at Obama’s speech. Others have dismissed that idea as superficial. The focus on tone comes a year after Obama’s rebuke of a Supreme Court decision in his State of the Union speech led Justice Samuel Alito

to mouth back, “Not true.” Obama is trying to emphasize economic priorities that can draw both public appeal and enough Republican consideration for at least serious debate. He will wrap them all under the heading of helping the United States to compete more successfully in the world – a “win the future” rallying cry that Obama’s aides hopes will resonate with both workers and business executives and bind the political parties. In fact, the theme of competitiveness has been pushed by many presidents, including Obama. In this same setting one year ago, he declared: “China is not waiting to revamp its economy. Germany is not waiting. India is not waiting. These nations aren’t playing for second place.” Obama has spoken consistently about a need for a new direction in America, an agenda of investing in energy, education, research and public works. Republicans say when Obama speaks of investments, he means spending. Republicans have chosen Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, an emerging voice for the party on behalf of spending cuts, to deliver the televised response to Obama’s address. He is planning to promote budget cuts as essential to responsible governing, even choosing to give his comments from the hearing room of the House Budget Committee, which he now chairs. The president’s aides say he will talk about cutting spending, too, although the details are less clear. In the back-

ground are the politically explosive recommendations of his bipartisan commission about how to trim the debt. On Social Security alone, ideas include raising the retirement age at which people could receive benefits, reducing those benefits and lowering cost-ofliving increases. In his speech, Obama is expected to mention tax reform, another recommendation from the commission. But the White House says Obama will not dive deeply into policy or offer a rundown of ideas reading like a laundry list. His goal is for those watching to emerge with more confidence about the economy of the country and more clarity about his vision for it. It will be a sales job to a skeptical crowd. In a new Associated PressGfK poll, more than half of those surveyed disapproved of how Obama has handled the economy, and just 35 percent said it has improved on his watch. Still, the poll revealed a sense of perspective. Threequarters of those questioned said it is unrealistic to expect noticeable improvements after two years, the length of Obama’s tenure. The recession that began before Obama took office erased 7.3 million jobs. On the rebound, the economy produced 1.1 million jobs last year, and economists think that figure will roughly double this year. Yet unemployment, now at 9.4 percent, is likely to stay high. Economists predict the jobless rate is likely to be just under 9 percent by the end of the year.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Civility or just silly, the push to mix Republicans and Democrats through the audience of President Barack Obama’s televised State of the Union address spread across Capitol Hill on Monday, fueled by signals that Americans want to see more cooperation among the nation’s leaders. Hatched last week by Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., the idea caught fire over the weekend after a poll showed a big majority of the public wanting lawmak-

ers of both parties to sit together at the presidential address. A spirited round of private phone calls and e-mails among lawmakers followed, and by Monday at least five dozen House members and senators had announced they had bipartisan dates for the big dance. The result could be helpful to Obama as he delivers what is effectively the first speech of his re-election campaign. Rather than serving the traditional visual of the president’s party popping up on one side

of the chamber for dozens of standing ovations, the applause will be more evenly spread, perhaps giving the illusion of wider acceptance. But many Republicans, too, accept the basic intent of the new seating plan. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., told reporters that he would be more than happy to sit with his Democratic counterpart, Steny Hoyer of Maryland. He suggested that if working more productively together is everyone’s goal, “maybe the sitting thing is a first step.” “If nothing else, it shows we are trying,” said Rep. Paul Gosar, a freshman Republican from Arizona who will be sitting next to Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. “That’s a gesture that the American people really want to see.” It may be fleeting. Good manners for an hour on television carry no guarantees for the political battles that loom over health care and federal spending during the two-year presidential election cycle that effectively kicks off with Obama’s speech from the well of the House. And for some – influential interest groups, for example – the drive to mix it up now, in the raw aftermath of the Tucson shootings that left six dead and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords critically wounded, under the gaze of the victims’ friends and family members who will be seated in the gallery, is offensive for its implication. “The left has been promot-

ing the idea that the tone in politics is one of the reasons why we had this tragedy in Arizona,” said Brian Darling, director of government relations for the conservative Heritage Foundation. “This (seating idea) has spun out of that line of reasoning.” In truth, members of Congress are more than civil to each other in private, regardless of party affiliation. They play football and softball together. They travel to exotic locales and war zones in “codels,” or congressional delegations. They have similar work lives as elected members of Congress, which for many means spending days or weeks at a time away from home. So it’s not much of a stretch for most to sit elbow-to-elbow with people who are members of the other party. Even so, the sprinkling of Republicans and Democrats across the chamber Tuesday night will be a carefully calibrated affair, more like prom dates than political marriages. There were signs that symbolism matters. A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday indicated that 72 percent of the public says Democratic and Republican lawmakers should sit together at the State of the Union. Ross Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University, said a civil evening would distinguish lawmakers from the divisiveness of the past two presidential addresses to Congress.

Holgorsen term sheet released

brian gawthrop associate sports editor

‘Small sports’ having big seasons Some call them “small sports.” Some may even call them unimportant. Call them what you want. But while you’re thinking of new ways to name them, or making excuses on why you chose not to support them, take a second to look out where some of West Virginia University’s fall sports teams are heading. It is currently one of the more exciting times in awhile for many Mountaineer sports such as the WVU gymnastics, rifle, track, tennis and wrestling teams. The rifle team is the topranked team in the country, and just beat No. 2 Alaska Saturday. The gymnastics squad has been ranked inside the top 20 and nearly upset No. 10 N.C. State this weekend. Included in this bunch are athletes such as Amy Bieski, Nicco Campriani, Petra Zublasing and Chelsea Carrier – all of whom are some of the best in their respective sports this season. Bieski is quietly wrapping up one of the best careers in West Virginia gymnastics history, while Carrier is the best female athlete West Virginia has right now. Campriani and Zublasing have to be the most dominant duo in any – yes, any – collegiate sport right now. Just when WVU thought there wasn’t a better rifleman in the country after Campriani joined the squad last year, in steps Zublasing, who may be even better. Gymnastics freshman Hope Sloanhoffer may challenge Zublasing for the school’s top rookie, however. Sloanhoffer has had an impressive start to her career, where she has been the only East Atlantic Gymnastics League athlete to earn Specialist and Rookie of the Week honors this season. Even West Virginia’s tennis and wrestling teams have plenty of reasons to be excited for the future. Sure, the tennis squad may be 1-2 after a rough first weekend, but the spring season is the first for head coach Tina Samara. While she isn’t making excuses, one look at Samara’s roster would make you understand any rough times the team may endure. There’s only one senior on the roster – Ashley Pilsbury. One year ago, the WVU head women’s basketball coach was in a similar situation. Now, Carey’s crew boasts a 19-1 record and is ranked eighth in the country. Wrestling head coach Craig Turnbull has five of his starting 10 nationally ranked, including sophomore James Fleming (157 pounds), redshirt freshman Nathan Pennesi (133 pounds) and sophomore Shane Young (125 pounds). Don’t forget former-No. 1 recruit Alex Meade, who transferred to West Virginia from Oklahoma State this season, and heavyweight Brandon Williamson, who reached the NCAAs last season, but will miss this year after offseason shoulder surgery. After what the WVU soccer and volleyball teams accomplished this year, it looked like their feats wouldn’t be beat. But the winter sports will surely continue to piece together one of the more exciting seasons for the sports in some time. I’m not discouraging any attention to the West Virginia men’s and women’s basketball teams. But don’t forget about what the “little guys” are doing, too. brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu

New head coach-in-waiting could leave if NCAA hits WVU with significant sanctions BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

West Virginia University football head coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen could quit if the football program receives significant NCAA sanctions. If West Virginia loses at least 20 scholarships over a two-year period or has at least a two-year bowl ban, Holgorsen could terminate his agreement with the University without having to pay damages to the University. The Daily Athenaeum re-

ceived – through a Freedom of Information Act request – Holgorsen’s term sheet signed on Dec. 14. The term sheet is not a final employment agreement. The finalized contract will be finished in “the immediate future.” WVU’s new offensive coordinator received a $50,000 signing bonus prior to the new year. He was hired Dec. 15 to replace current head coach Bill Stewart following the 2011 season and can become head coach at two different times: the day after the

2011 final regular season game or the day after a bowl game following the 2011 season. In the event Holgorsen would take over as head coach prior to the end of the 2011 season, he would receive “prorated total compensation” of $1.4 million for the remainder of the 2011 season. In addition, Holgorsen will receive $50,000 if his team’s offense finishes No. 1 in total offense and $25,000 for a top 5

No. 8 WVU women begin tough road stretch BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS WRITER

Fresh off a win at home over the weekend against South Florida, the No. 8 West Virginia women’s basketball team has a tough obstacle ahead of it tonight, as the Mountaineers hit the road to take on No. 19 Georgetown. After his team’s win over the Bulls Saturday, West Virginia coach Mike Carey acknowledged that if WVU wants to beat the Hoyas, they’ll have to play better. “We can’t have 24 turnovers and give up 14 offensive rebounds,” Carey said. “We put a target on (Andrea Smith) from South Florida, and she was their leading scorer. We can’t let them catch it.” The team will have that target on a player once again Tuesday, as the Hoyas have one of the most dangerous scorers in the Big East in sophomore Sugar Rodgers. The guard is averaging 18 points and over five rebounds. “She’s 30 percent of their scoring, and that’s a lot, so once we lock her down, they’re going to have to have other people step up,” said senior forward Korinne Campbell. “We just have to make sure that whoever’s guarding her, we have to keep our hands up at all times, because she’ll shoot it at any time.” West Virginia knows what it takes to keep Rodgers in check

from past experience. In last season’s game, the Mountaineers held her to 12 points on 2-of-14 shooting. What’s even more important to Carey is how well his team adjusts to playing a ranked team on the road. With the exception of games against TCU and Iowa State on a neutral site earlier in the season, the Mountaineers have yet to face a nationally ranked team away from the Coliseum. And this will be WVU’s first away game since suffering its only loss of the season to Marquette Jan. 11. “It’s always tough on the road. (In the Big East) you’ve got to win your home games and you’ve got to at least split, or do a little better on the road,” Carey said. “I’m not naive in thinking we’re going to win all our road games or all our home games; we’ve got to come out and play every night, whether it’s home or away.” If West Virginia wants to come away with a win Tuesday, it will have to take advantage of any mistakes the aggressive Georgetown defense may make. But, GU has been one of the better defensive teams in the Big East, allowing opponents to score just 56.4 points per game. “They’re going to play that 1-2-2, three-quarter-court trap, and fall back into the 1-2-2 and trap out of that, too,” Carey

Final Four sold prep prospects on WVU BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS WRITER

Columbia High School (Ga.) forward Jarmal Reid is one of the most sought after recruits in the country. The junior is rated No. 52 in the ESPNU Super 60 for the class of 2012 and has received scholarship offers from some of the best colleges in the country. One of his favorites right now is West Virginia. To find what makes WVU stand out, compared to some of the other schools fighting for Reid, look no further than the Mountaineers’ run to the Final Four last season. Getting the opportunity to see West Virginia play on college basketball’s biggest stage in April was definitely something that intrigued the Decatur, Ga., native. But it had nothing to do with the way the team played on the court. “The thing that really sold me on West Virginia was in the Final Four when

West Virginia guard Vanessa House shoots a three-pointer in the Mountaineers’ win over South Florida Saturday.

Mitchell suspended, Jennings leaves team For the second time in four months, West Virginia senior shooting guard Casey Mitchell has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules. Mitchell was suspended Oct. 15 but was reinstated to the team prior to the start of the 2010-11 season. Mitchell leads the team in scoring at 16.6 points per game. He has started 17 of the team’s 18 games this season and is second on the team in minutes played per game. He also leads the Mountaineers in 3-point shooting percentage at 37 percent.

Mitchell is coming off his first career double-double in a 56-46 win over South Florida. West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins confirmed on his radio show Monday night that forward Dan Jennings has left the team. With the majority of the second half to play Sunday, Jennings left the Mountaineers’ bench and did not return. “It’s unexcused. Inexcusable,” Huggins said after the game. “He’ll never be seen again, I guess. “The truth of the matter is that he has been a non-entity.

Look at his career stats, we did not just lose (forward) Kevin Jones.” While the New York native has started four games, including the 75-71 loss to Marshall last week, Jennings is only averaging 8.6 minutes, 2.1 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. West Virginia now has only eight scholarship players available to play. In addition, forward Deniz Kilicli has been dealing with a foot injury that could limit him through the rest of the season. — Compiled by Tony Dobies

OPINION

Tuesday January 25, 2011

Synthetic drug ban should be permanent Easily obtained alternatives to illegal drugs, such as marijuana, should be permanently banned due to the potential health effects. These synthetic drugs produce similar hallucinogenic effects as marijuana and are meant to produce a “high” for users. In November, the Drug Enforcement Administration put a temporary ban on the possession and distribution of synthetic marijuana, cocaine and the chemicals that are used to make these

substances. Though it’s temporary, the DEA felt the ban would give them more time to research whether or not the chemicals should be controlled permanently. Many people like synthetic drugs because they are easily obtained. Though the level of intoxication they create is not as intense, they are still used despite warnings against human consumption. In fact, the product was labeled and sold as incense and potpourri.

Before the ban, these substances were legally sold in this state. West Virginia Sen. Evan Jenkins (D-Cabell) said “I don’t think there was any question that these were intended to lure, in particular, young people into buying substances that gave them a high. Tragically, the sale and possession were legal,” according to The Register-Herald in Beckley, W.Va. Now, Senate is proposing a bill that will make selling, possessing and distributing them a misdemeanor crime.

The bill is expected to expand the work of the DEA and the ban that is already in place, especially because the ban pertains more to synthetic marijuana than cocaine. Just because the substances may be synthetic, that does not make them safe. Users of the drugs have been known to experience seizures, strokes, headaches, racing heartbeat, elevated blood pressure and anxiety, according to the Arizona Republic. The similarities between the real drug and the syn-

thetic drug are alarming. The prohibition of these substances is bound to cause some unrest, but it is the job of our government to monitor and restrict drugs and chemicals that are being abused so that citizens are kept safe. Banning synthetic marijuana and cocaine will bring West Virginia and our nation one step closer to emerging from the bondage of drug abuse.

A packed House Chamber takes in Acting Governor Earl Ray Tomblin’s speech Jan. 12 in Charleston, W.Va., during the State of the State address.

The upcoming ‘special election’ is a waste of resources jeremiah yates associate opinion editor

Gov. Joe Manchin defeated John Raese last year in the special election following the death of Sen. Robert C. Byrd that left his U.S. senatorial seat vacant. It is the duty of the president of the West Virginia State Senate to step into the governor’s seat when it is left vacant. Sen. Earl Ray Tomblin assumed the position as governor of West Virginia. But the state constitution, as interpreted by the State Supreme Court, said the president

of the state senate cannot fill a vacant seat for more than one year without an election once an acting governor steps in. So the court ruled that acting Gov. Tomblin must call for a special election to fill his current seat as governor. The Court had the people’s voices in mind. And in a democratic society such as ours, it must be the people’s voices that choose our leaders. But the reality of this election, which is on Oct. 4, is not in the best interest of the people. According to the West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, just holding a primary election will cost anywhere from $3 million to $4 million; the general election is estimated

to cost about the same. But it isn’t just the cost that deters me from supporting the election; it is also the fact that we will have to undergo another election for governor in 2012 as well, costing the taxpayers millions more. Exactly how the election process will unfold is yet to be determined. It is possible the primary election will not take place, which will result in the candidates being chosen by a convention held by each political party. This will cut the costs in half but is still a complete waste of time and money. I would rather see that money spent in an “attempt” to improve the welfare of the state.

Just as an example, in Marion County, a project has been in the works to build an indoor water park, hotel resort and possibly a riverboat casino along the Monongahela River in Fairmont, according to The Times West Virginian. Attractions like these would do wonders for the economy. If this project would take off, businesses from all over would be fighting for a chance to invest in our state. Jobs and growth would soon follow. The money used from the election could have been spent on this, or a similar project, but instead will be wasted in a pointless election. I am describing this election as pointless for a valid reason. I

whole-heartedly believe in the democratic process. It would be more efficient to amend the state constitution and allow the seat to be filled for the rest of the term, not for only a year. There is no point in an election for the same office in twoconsecutive years. It’s not as if Tomblin is just a guy off the street – he is an elected official, chosen by the people. So, there is no injustice, because they chose Tomblin as a state senator. It seems the injustice done to the people would be three years in a row their governor will spend being tied up with an election instead of official

duties. Any governor who campaigns while in office will be distracted by the attention from the upcoming election. The public can deal with this when it is once every four years. But when it happens three years in a row, we become worried. If issues are neglected, things can go from bad to worse very quickly. The greatest amenity America offers is the right to change our policies for more efficient ones. The opportunity has risen once again. There is no need to waste millions of dollars and create confusion within our government. There is always a better way.

What the National Football League could teach the rest of America nicholas a. nehamas Harvard Crimson Uwire

The worst recession since 1929 shattered American confidence in our economy and in our government. Global stock exchanges crashed, and the whole world lost its savings in the wreckage. Wall Street and Detroit teetered on the edge of insolvency, and Washington, when it finally realized the scale of a problem that had been brewing for years, reacted in panic. As we attempt to reshape our politics and our badly sputtering economy, a good place to start looking for models would be a business most Americans – Tea Partiers and Marxists alike – consider a crucial part of our national identity: football. Despite the poor corporate climate, the National Football League continues to attract fans, rake in profits and dominate the television market. Why? Because the NFL puts

out a good product; entertaining games between wellmatched teams people will pay to watch. Perhaps economists and policy-makers should take notice. After all, if there’s anything more American than football, then, by golly, it’s got to be capitalism. But the methods behind the success of the NFL might surprise many of its most loyal fans, given how loudly we proclaim our collective love of free markets and our corresponding disdain for their ever-encroaching enemy: European-style socialism. By American standards, our football league is Red to the core: The league office sets a limit on how much each team can spend on its players, and fines them heavily if they fail to comply. It divvies up the revenue from its gigantic television contracts equally between every team. It allows the visiting team to collect forty percent of the ticket sales at away games. All these regulations are explicitly designed to help teams

from small-markets, like the Green Bay Packers, win Super Bowls alongside big-city rivals like New York and Dallas. What’s going on here? Doesn’t it seem deeply unAmerican that the richest teams are forced to cap their spending? It’s their money; they earned it. Let them do what they want with it, not force them to give it away to less-successful teams. How can Budweiser and General Motors, companies whose marketing departments make explicit the connection between owning their products and being a patriot, use this competition to hawk their beer and trucks? Why do we cheer wildly when our favorite team wins a league run like a European welfare state, but lose our tempers about commonsense regulations on health care, pollution and Wall Street? It seems like a glaring contradiction in our national psyche: We love our football league but hate the sensible policies that have made it so profitable.

Well, maybe it’s possible that the NFL isn’t so far to the left. I mean, imagine: If our favorite sport is run by little Lenins and imitation Trotskies, what must European football be like? Most likely every player, regardless of talent, is paid exactly the same salary, one mandated by some faceless bureaucrat in a tiny office in Brussels or Geneva, and the teams line up in alphabetical order to take turns winning the league title. The reality is far different: In Europe, teams are allowed to spend whatever they want. There are no salary caps and revenues are not shared equally. And so, unlike the NFL and even Major League Baseball, where all but the most poorly run teams have a shot at the championship each season, in Europe, the same three or four soccer clubs win the league trophy year after year. In England, for example, just three teams – Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea – have lifted seventeen of the last eighteen English Premier League titles. Pretty bor-

ing compared to America. In the same time span, twelve teams have won the Super Bowl, and eleven have captured the World Series. But European soccer isn’t in danger of boring people or losing fans. Instead, it faces a financial catastrophe much like the one that took down so many of our banks and corporations, one caused by a boom of cheap credit, poor risk management and a complete absence of effective regulation. With no financial watchdog, the European clubs borrowed heavily and sold themselves hastily to corporate raiders. With no spending limits, they used their inexhaustible lines of credit to spend obscene amounts on players who flopped or got injured and coaches whom they were forced to fire. With their cheap credit and revenue streams drying up and interest rates sky-rocketing, all these teams are now in danger of collapse. Their irresponsible behavior demonstrates the superiority of the NFL’s insis-

tence on limiting spending and economic disparity. And while the clubs’ global brands most likely will allow them to stay afloat, their days of wild spending appear to be over. Michel F. Platini, the president of European soccer’s governing body, seems to mean business. He has threatened any team that does not meet a salary cap and strict accounting rules with expulsion from the fabled European Champions League, an absolute cash cow for every club involved. For the sake of soccer’s long-term health, let’s wish Mr. Platini luck as he attempts to turn his sport into Europe’s version of the NFL, in the process regulating one of his continent’s last Wild West markets. Let’s also hope that our own politicians and business leaders here in America turn more to the National Football League, and less to Goldman Sachs, as they attempt to restore civic and financial responsibility to America. Even if they have to use a little NFLstyle socialism to do it.

Carrier, Christopher lead WVU to first-place finish By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

The No. 8 West Virginia track and field team dominated this weekend, taking first place in eight of the meet’s events at the West Virginia State Farm Games. The Mountaineers were paced by senior Kaylyn Christopher, who blew away the competitors in the 3,000-meter race, finishing more than a minute ahead of the field. Senior Chelsea Carrier posted top finishes in the 60-meter hurdles and the long jump. The Mountaineers finished with the top five finishers in the mile run, as well. Jordan Hamric took first place followed by Sarah Martinelli, Hallie Portner and Stephanie Caruso, respectively. WVU also took four of the top five spots in the 5,000-meter run, as Sarah

WVU’s Chelsea Carrier jumps over a hurdle at the WV State Farm Games last weekend. Anne Brault, Kate Harrison, Jessica O’Connell and Kaitlyn Gillespie finished second through fifth, respectively. The 4x400-meter relay team closed out the running events with a first place finish. Carrier, Shakiyla Cosby, Jordann

Michell and Brittany Wolford finished with a time of 3:58.38. Mountaineers claimed four of the top six spots in the weight throw, with Terina Miller securing the top sport with a toss of 15.31 meters. Heather Adams finished second (15.02) and Brittany Thomas took fourth (14.18). Alanna Pritts finished sixth with a 13.11 meter throw. WVU also claimed the top three spots in the pole vault. Kaitlyn Shelar took first place (3.4 meters), her second win in as many meets. Lindsey Kopenhaver took second (3.25 meters), while Gabrielle Harrington and Kimberly Mulvin tied for third (3.1 meters). WVU will be back in action next weekend when it travels to State College, Pa., to participate in the Penn State National Invitational. derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer men sweep Terps

WVU women fall to Maryland, 202-96 by Ethan rohrbaugh sports writer

The West Virginia men’s swimming and diving team put the finishing touches on its dual meet season with a 21387 routing of Maryland on Senior Day in the WVU Natatorium Saturday. A Mountaineer took firstplace in all 16 events in the men’s portion of the meet. “We expected a tight meet,” said West Virginia head coach Vic Riggs. “We just got a couple of wins and kept it rolling and it kind of became a gametime decision that we weren’t

going to lose an event.” Taylor Camp, Jared Goldthorpe, Hugh Simmonds, Tim Squires, Matt O’Neill and senior George Farquhar had two individual titles apiece for West Virginia, as the men’s team turned in its most dominating performance of the season. Farquhar, Camp and Squires teamed up with Brandon Carr to set a pool record in the 200 medley relay, touching the wall in 1:32.06. Diver Matt O’Neill also set a school record with his 358.42 point effort in the one-meter and followed it up with 354.3 points and a win in the three-meter. The Terrapins controlled the women’s portion of the afternoon, taking first in 13 of 16

events en route to a 202-96 victory over the injury-ridden Mountaineer ladies. “Its just been an injury riddled season. When you’re short on depth, those injuries become very important,” Riggs said. “The women swam as well as the men, we just didn’t get the points.” Rachael Burnett claimed two individual titles, and Kata Fodor had the other first-place swim for WVU. The men’s squad won’t be in action again until the Big East Conference Championships, but the women will host Ohio Saturday before both Mountaineer teams make the trip to Kentucky for the conference championships. ethan.rohrbaugh@mail.wvu.edu

TENNIS

WVU saves weekend with win over MSU By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

The West Virginia tennis team dropped its first two matches of the season this weekend after falling to Bowling Green and Louisville. “I don’t really think our first match was an accurate reflection on the team,” said first-year head coach Tina Samara. “Louisville is a really strong team, and we just didn’t play all that well. Hopefully, we will learn from these mistakes as we move forward.” The Mountaineers fell to

was strongly considering WVU thanks to what he saw in the Final Four. “When I watched them (in the Final Four), I was still considering them,” Cook said of the Mountaineers. “I got to see how Coach Huggins used his guards. He’s a real hard-nosed coach, and I’ve known him since my freshman year of high school, so it was fun to watch

Continued from page 3 said. “It’s going to be a very aggressive and physical game.” West Virginia senior forward Madina Ali could be limited against GU after suffering a stress fracture in her left leg against Marshall. While she was able to play Saturday, the senior saw limited action, playing just 17 minutes, and said “it hurts all the time.” “If it’s really bothering her, then we’ve got to let her sit down for a little bit,” Carey said. “She’ll never complain. I keep asking her, and it just depends on how she says, ‘No, it’s not hurting.’ “I know her well enough that when she says it’s not hurting, that it really is, just from the way that she says no.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Bowling Green Saturday, losing 6-1. Freshman Melis Tanik sealed the single win for WVU after defeating Christine Chiricosta in a third-set tiebreaker. The Mountaineers were then swept by Louisville Sunday 7-0. WVU’s No. 2 doubles partners Emily Mathis and Tanik gave Louisville a tough match, but after the match went to a tiebreaker, WVU fell 7-2. It was not all negative for WVU on its road trip, however. The Moutaineers swept

Morehead State 4-0 Monday. “It wasn’t the perfect start to the season by any means,” Samara said. “We were able to get one win, but I’d like to see us improve. This weekend helped us realize our flaws. “We were really able to gauge the talent of this group. We know what to work on now, it’s just a matter of working on it.” The team will be back in action this weekend when it plays host to James Madison and Liberty University at the Greenbrier.

(WVU) compete and how hard Huggs coached his guys.” Another player who was considering West Virginia, before eventually committing to another school, was Arlington Country Day High School (Fla.) forward Jordan Goodman. Goodman is the No. 17 small forward in the 2012 recruiting class and recently made his verbal commitment to Big East foe Rutgers. He, like Reid and Cook, was intrigued by the Mountaineers’ play in the late por-

tion of the season. But, it was something different than the other two that impressed the 6-foot-8 Goodman. “That run showed me that Coach Huggins doesn’t produce quitters,” Goodman said. “That’s just like where I am now, we’re not quitters. “Any team that has that kind of heart and shows that they’ll do whatever it takes to win like West Virginia did, I’m all for that.”

finish in total offense, his term sheet states. Holgorsen will make $750,000 in base salary and supplemental compensation in 2011 and $1.4 million when he takes over as head coach in 2012. He will receive a $250,000 increase through the final four years of his contract. In 2016, he will make $2.4 million. Holgorsen will receive $75,000 on Dec. 8 of each year in his contract if he continues to honor the term sheet. If WVU is to terminate Holgorsen’s contract at any time without cause, he will receive base salary and supplemental compensation for the remaining years of his contract. WVU has not yet finalized the terms if WVU is to terminate Holgorsen’s contract with cause. If he is terminated prior to finalizing it, WVU is obligated to pay his base salary, supplemental and incentive compensation earned through the date of termination within 30 days of the termination. If Holgorsen terminates his contract with cause, he will pay the University base salary and supplemental compensation for the remaining years of his contract. If Holgorsen ends the contract prior to Dec. 8, 2012, he will pay WVU $2 million. If he does so prior to Dec. 8, 2014, he will owe $1.5 million. After that date, if Holgorsen leaves prior to the finish of his contract, he will owe $1 million. Holgorsen had $1 million to spend on four offensive assistants, which he hired earlier this year. He spent $900,000 on the new additions plus holdover assistant Lonnie Galloway. Assistant coach salaries will increase by no more than 5 percent following a season in which WVU goes to a bowl game starting next season. The total money spent on assistant coaches will increase 3 percent each season, as well. Holgorsen’s incentives, for the most part, are higher than in the 2008 contract signed by Stewart. His latest contract was amended on Nov. 17, which allowed for Holgorsen to be hired as offensive coordinator and coach-in-waiting. Holgorsen would make $1 million if the team wins 12 regular season games. That is $800,000 more than Stewart would make. However, both coaches will gain a $25,000 incentive for winning nine games. Holgorsen has a $50,000 increase of incentives for 10 ($100,000) and 11 ($125,000) wins compared to Stewart. Holgorsen will receive $100,000 for an out-right Big East title and $50,000 for a shared title. Previously, Stewart made $75,000 for an out-right or

shared conference title. Stewart also received $50,000 for being the Big East runner-up, which Holgorsen will not. Both agreements state the coaches receive $25,000 for earning a bid to a non-BCS game, $75,000 for a BCS game appearance and $100,000 for a BCS title game appearance. Holgorsen’s, however, includes incentives if he wins those bowl games. He will make $25,000 for a non-BCS bowl win, $50,000 for a BCS bowl win and $150,000 for a BCS national championship victory. Holgorsen will receive no more than $600,000 in incentives each year. Stewart’s amended contract, signed Nov. 17, 2010 waived any right to terminate him due to NCAA infractions. WVU also agreed to pay $30,000 for cover legal fees and expenses for par-

ticipation in the NCAA case. Stewart will receive all incentives dealt to him in his 2008 contract. In addition, if Stewart is terminated prior to the end of the 2011 season, he will receive $750,000 in liquidated damages. Stewart’s new agreement continued to read that the University “shall notify Stewart whether it intends to offer him the opportunity to coach any 2011 post-season bowl game within 72 hours after the last 2011 regular season game.” Following the end of his contract, Stewart will take an alternative position at the University for 30 months, in which he will make $375,000. Stewart has the ability to decline the alternative position upon 24 hours notice and will still be paid in full. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you often choose to pull back and take the high road. Experiences will open you up to many different perceptions. You gain compassion and acceptance. Travel could play a significant role. Many of you will go back to school and seek more specialization. If you are single, someone quite different could strut into your life any day. This friendship could be a real eye-opener. If you are attached, the two of you will experience greater closeness as you open up to new outlooks. Schedule a special vacation together. SCORPIO can push your buttons. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH Defer. It makes others feel confident that you trust them. That thought might or might not be true. Let others think what they so choose. A friend could be surprisingly difficult or touchy. Tonight: Schedule some one-on-one talk time. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Complete what you must. A boss or an older person might not be aware of how demanding a request might be. Develop better communication between you and this person. Start sharing. An unpredictable friend is just that -- unpredictable! Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Your creativity adds to your ability to accomplish projects. Someone might see you as a solution-finder. Communication or a sense of direction leads you to a new option. Tonight: Could be late. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH

Stay centered, and understand what others want as opposed to what you might think they need. You have a decision to make. Remain sensitive to the individual and tuck judgment away. Your perception simply might not be appreciated. Tonight: Let fun in; let your inner child out. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Make that extra effort to connect with others. A wave and a “hi” can elevate someone’s mood and change his or her day. A close associate or someone you have money dealings with could be unpredictable. Strap on your seat belt. Tonight: Happy to get home. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Take a hint from Leo. Be aware of how much needs to be accomplished. Look to the end results. Determine what must be done first. Let others play devil’s advocate; in fact, encourage just that. Sometimes you don’t see the complete story or you miss a detail. Tonight: Hang out with a friend. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Others often find you to be a great source of ideas. Handle all the people and inquiries. The question remains: What is essential for you to complete? A shortcut won’t work. Add perspective and humor into a personal situation. Tonight: Your treat. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH If you can work from home, do. You might get a lot more done. Nevertheless, a flirtation or a child has the capacity to toss your plans in the air. You actually might be a touch uncomfortable if this hap-

pens. Screen distractions! Tonight: Smiling broadly – finally. Time to socialize. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Meetings might point the way. You might be taken aback by a premonition. You might be startled by how righton you could be. The unexpected tends to jolt you back into the here and now. Take your time responding. Tonight: A little mystery goes a long way. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You assume your normal role. Investing too much – be it money, hours or an innate gift – into a project could be a mistake. Use care with transportation and communication. An element of surprise runs through this area of your life. Tonight: Find your friends. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Look for the passage you have not seen. Decide where you might be holding yourself back. Open yourself up to a risk. What you aspire to or want is great; now make it happen. You pull the wild card financially. Tonight: Catching up on everything that you didn’t do. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH A partnership, though perhaps not acknowledged, could be instrumental in moving forward. Travel and education could be some of the paths to the end. Try not to declare that something is impossible or untenable. By doing this, you are making sure it is. Tonight: Break out of the box in your thinking. BORN TODAY Singer Alicia Keys (1981), actress China Kantner (1971), novelist Virginia Woolf (1882)

Steel Magnolia releases debut

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT | 7

What are you listening to? “Summery music to get over the winter ‘blah.’ Specifically, David Wax Museum.” Joe Gorman, Senior multidisciplinary studies major

Joshua Scott Jones, left, and Meghan Linsey, right make up country duo Steel Magnolia. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country music fans are already familiar with the feel-good story of Steel Magnolia, the boyfriendgirlfriend duo who met at a karaoke bar and went on to win the CMT contest show “Can You Duet” back in 2009. Few acts have gotten as much exposure in their formative years as Meghan Linsey and Joshua Scott Jones. They’ve been nominated for 10 major music awards, scored a top-five hit and have become a popular opening act for some of country’s biggest names – all before the release of their debut album. The Dan Huff-produced “Steel Magnolia,” which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard country albums chart and No. 7 on the all-genre chart last week, gives listeners a more complete picture of a duo that’s been charting an unusual path to a very different sound. “The record we set out to make, it’s what we think is a real piece of art from beginning to end,” Jones said. “We feel like you’re taking a journey.” What listeners will find on that journey is a band that doesn’t quite fit the well-worn formula that defines most country duos. With a few exceptions, their debut is a mosaic of soul, R&B, pop and rock, with just a hint of country in the sonic touches producer Dann Huff lays over a handful of the songs – a racy

banjo line during a chorus, a mood-enhancing pedal steel accent. That eclectic sound is what drew Big Machine Records’ Scott Borchetta to the group when he served as a judge on “Can You Duet,” a show that featured a record contract with Borchetta’s label as top prize. “You rarely have what I would refer to as two elite singing voices,” Borchetta said. “Usually duos are one dominant voice, then the other one carries harmony, whether it’s The Judds, Brooks & Dunn, et cetera. And for them to have such unique individual voices that blended so well, I thought it was something really unique, that if they really got a grasp and a direction, then it could really be something special.” Linsey, 25, grew up in New Orleans and Ponchatoula, La., the daughter of a mother who loved country, a father who loved rock and the soundtrack of south Louisiana playing in the background. Her mother helped her start and front her first band as a teenager. Jones, 30, was born in Texas and grew up in Illinois, where the sounds of country, rock and soul were his obsession. “I went to an all-black church for almost two years and there was just a real lively music scene at the Baptist church there,” Jones said. “So I think after that I got into soul music for a cou-

ple of years. As far as music goes, I can number it off in about two-year periods where I would get obsessed with something. I’d listen to it until I could do it or sing it.” He started his own band, too, and served as guitarist and lead singer before deciding to move to Nashville. They admit it wasn’t easy to put aside egos and acknowledge they were better together than apart. But there were obvious sparks when they played together and the give and take of their relationship – Jones’ playful goofiness brings out the eye roll in Linsey – enhances their stage persona. Unfortunately few record executives in Nashville got it. “I think the answer we always got was, ‘Wow, you guys are great, we just don’t know what to do with you,’” Linsey said. “And I think a lot of it had to do with we had so many different influences and all these different songs and it didn’t necessarily all fit together. And I think being on the show and meeting Scott Borchetta and assembling the team that we have has allowed us to kind of develop into something that has a sound and it all does fit together. Dan Huff made all that work on the record.” “We finally belong,” Jones joked in a childlike voice. “Oh, my God,” Linsey said, “will you stop?”

“The last song on my ipod was ‘Move Along’ by the All American Rejects. I’m into everything, like Top 40 kind of stuff.” Tyler Goodykoontz, Junior accounting major

“R&B. I like slower songs when I want to relax.”

Hanna Yost, Senior business management major

“Lloyd, Chris Brown and T.I. A lot of R&B. I can relate to a lot of the songs.” Shaydrina Hassell, Senior social work major

Time for Tudor’s Restaurant gives away free samples of biscuits, sandwiches by david ryan A&E EDITOR

Morgantown residents got a sample tasting of a southern West Virginian favorite Monday night. Tudor’s Biscuit World, located in Star City on University Avenue, gave away free sausage biscuits and barbecue sandwiches ahead of its grand opening today. “We’re giving them a little bit of breakfast flavor and a little bit of lunch flavor,” said Joe Horvath, co-owner of the restaurant. Horvath estimated as many as 200 people came in for the free food over the two hour period, with many more getting the food to go. Though he didn’t have specifics on how many sandwiches and biscuits he had given away by press time, the restaurant had prepared as many as 800 for the opening. The restaurant offers a breakfast-heavy menu, featuring biscuits and omelets, as well as lunch items. “The people that know it love it,” Horvath said. “People have told me it’s as West Virginian as white water rafting and pepperoni rolls.” The menu also includes “The Mountaineer,” a country ham, potato, egg and cheese biscuit. For Marshall fans, there’s also the “Herd,” a sausage, potato, egg and cheese biscuit. Armed with menus, Horvath greeted customers and asked them what they thought of the free food after they left. “It’s good,” said one customer. “Thanks for bringing (Tudor’s) to

The restaurant was initially expected to open after Thanksgiving Break, but delays associated with the renovation delayed the launch. Senior mechanical engineering major Tyler Jacobsen came out Monday for the free sandwiches, familiar with Tudor’s from other locations. “They have fresh breakfast food at a reasonable price,” he said. Tudor’s Biscuit World is located at 3071A University Ave. in Star City. Regular business hours are 5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday 7 a.m. through 2 p.m.

The Art Gallery at The Creative Arts Center will be hosting the art of Chinese born artist Xiaoze Xie. The free exhibition is located in the Paul Mesaros Gallery and is open from 12:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The gallery showcases a collection reflecting Xie’s personal history of his youth in China. Robert Bridges, assistant professor of art at West Virginia University and curator of the West Virginia University Art Collection, said the collection touches on events during Xie’s lifetime. “This particular body of work (is) all paintings derived from photographic images from newspapers,” Bridges said. This collection, which is titled “Theatre of Power,” depicts many Chinese politicians. Bridges shares one example. It is of Xie’s interpretation of a photograph of Communist Chairman Mao Zedong with Soviet ruler Joseph Stalin. “That photograph was probably taken in the fifties (and) with the former communist China,” he said. “It would have been some-

thing that would have been viewed more than once or might have been in some history books and things like that.” Xie is currently the leading professor of art at Stanford University. The artist has been reviewed in such outlets as The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Globe and Mail and The San Francisco Chronicle and is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Arizona State University Art Museum. The work will be available for viewing from now until the March 3. Xie’s “Theatre of Power” is one of the two exhibitions during this time. The other, “Across Cultures: Together in Jingdezhen,” is an invitational ceramics exhibition. The event is the product of a relationship with the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute and WVU, Bridges said. The exhibition is an effort to bring in a diverse audience to galleries,” Bridges said. The University is encouraging all audiences, not just students, come out and enjoy the event and others like it. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Iron & Wine’s latest adds flair to folk, lacks creativity alex mcpherson correspondent

Since Samual Beam’s emergence as Iron & Wine in 2002, his folky musings have boosted him above the indie wasteland. With his 2004 rendition of “Such Great Heights” and 2007’s “The Shepherd’s Dog,” I always tend to remember him as “that guy who’s done those things I’ve liked.” But as my memories fade, I sometimes forget why I like someone in the first place. In our era of minute-made pop superstars, I’ve come to anticipate a new single every three to five months (if not three to five minutes). Without a major album or EP since 2007, I honestly forgot Iron & Wine existed. But all it took was the first hook from “Kiss Each Other Clean” to jog my memory. My biggest complaint from “Kiss Each Other Clean” is consistency. Iron & Wine does a lot of things well, but it’s also a lot of things to grasp all on one album. “Walking Far From Home” throws out a bunch of sad imagery and actually proves that a voice distorter is not always a bad thing. I can’t figure out for the life of me what the song is about other than this guy’s need to find another way home. However, the presentation of the building music is pow-

‘Kiss Each Other Clean’ Iron & Wine This album puts a spin on somber folk music, but lacks consistency with the band’s past efforts. erful and somewhat reverent. “Me and Lazarus” busts out the saxophone to add a funkiness to the set, and “Rabbit Will Run” mixes some kind of whistle with a marimba for an African vibe. These songs are decent examples of every other song on the album; somber folk or some kind of twisted funk. They would all do well on separate EP’s, but dispersed through one album – the collection just feels unfocused. Since “The Shepherd’s Dog,” Beam has bumped up from Sub Pop Records to Warner Bros. Because of this, Beam has noticeably been playing around in the studios. And to his credit, some pretty pleasant stuff has come out of it, but a voice distorter and electric guitar
