Graduation fees removed for May 2011

By Alex Dufour Correspondent

Students at West Virginia University who are registering for their May diplomas no longer have to pay a required fee to graduate.

The graduation fees have been waived for those expecting bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees. The fee was

originally $50 to cover the cost of miscellaneous services.

University Registrar Steve Robinson said the graduation fee was initially used for printing diplomas and other services for the ceremony, but was able to take it away this year.

“We were able to find other means for money from the budget increasing from the central allocation from the University

to cover the printing and mailing costs,” said Steve Robinson, University Registrar.

Robinson said waiving the fee also helps the various colleges to be better organized during the graduation process.

“It was also difficult for colleges and schools to collect it because with thousands of students graduating it was difficult to manage all of the

money coming in,” he said. “It was a very cumbersome project for all of us to manage and it is just easier this way, without the fee.”

The University decided to remove the fee to help students who already pay for tuition and books.

“This is our way of recognizing the students for their hard work and the tuition that they

Sidewalk snow removal poses problems for off-campus students

BY MELISSA CANDOLFI STAFF WRITER

Students living off campus at West Virginia University are faced with clearing snow off of sidewalks this winter or will possibly violate Morgantown city ordinances.

To improve snow removal, City Council is looking to leave the responsibility of clearing the sidewalks, within a 24 hour time span, in the hands of the residents.

Terry Hough, Public Works director and civil engineer, said they are not looking to hand out citations but to make Morgantown safer.

“Our complainant’s officers will be out, and if they see something that hasn’t been done, they will do what is called a notice of violation,” she said.

“Once this notice of violation has been issued, then you have a certain amount of time to correct the violation.”

Hough said if they notice a person working to shovel the snow, they will not issue a citation.

Snow should not be thrown into the street while shoveling because it causes possible

hazard. Instead, clear paths, Hough said.

“ADA (American Disabilities Act) requires 36-inch-wide path access route,” she said. “So that’s what we are trying to get, and then you can pile the snow up in a wall.”

Hough advised to immediately start shoveling once the snow has stopped to avoid it from being packed down or icing over.

An issue students seem to be facing is determining where their sidewalks start and end.

“I don’t think clearing sidewalks is in my lease,” said Glenn Hess, a senior painting major.

Hess lives on High Street and he said he is confused where his boundaries are, what belongs to him and what belongs to the city.

He said he clears his sidewalks for his own safety but not necessarily for others.

“Someone can call and say I fell in front of this house and try and point blame at me,” Hess said. “But how many more feet or inches until it is on someone else’s property?”

West Virginia University’s WELL WVU sent a Patient Satisfaction Survey Jan. 20 to everyone who used WVU’s Student Health Services, the Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services or Wellness & Health Promotion in Fall 2010.

The 72-question survey was sent through MIX and asked questions regarding the front desk of each branch’s services, wait time and satisfaction with the provider, among other things.

At press time, the survey had 568 responses, 429 of which had fully completed the survey, out of the 7,000 who received it.

Of those, 148 people said they had an overall excellent experience with WELL WVU, and 13 said their experience was poor.

“We’re hoping to find out what the student experience is at our different WELL WVU units,” said Cathy Yura, WELL WVU assistant vice president.

“If there are issues, then we’re going to address them.”

Out of the responses, 477 people, or 84 percent, said WELL WVU was their primary source of care at WVU. Of those surveyed, 145 said they used the Carruth Center, 514 said they were seen at Student Health and 34 utilized Wellness

“We want to keep students first,” Yura said. “If they have feedback to how they can be better served, we’ll take it.”

The survey results revealed that sexual health, stress reduction, nutrition and exercise or fitness were the top-four topics of importance.

Whitney Rae Peters, graduate assistant for WELL WVU, said the first issue that arose with the survey was students not remembering their provider’s name. An “unknown” option was added, she said, which increased participation.

Student Health, the Carruth Center and Wellness and Promotion united under one umbrella in September 2009.

The release of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels leads to an excess amount of carbon dioxide in the earth’s atmosphere.

This leads to the warming of the earth’s atmosphere, and, in effect, climate change.

Lawmakers eye differing vote dates for governor CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia will likely hold a primary instead of party conventions to nominate candidates for this year’s court-ordered special election for governor, but lawmakers differed over dates on Monday.

The Senate and House each expect to vote Tuesday on dueling versions of acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s proposed timetable for the special elections.

The Senate Finance Committee on Monday endorsed Tomblin’s bid to hold the primary June 20, West Virginia Day and an official holiday.

But the House Judiciary Committee amended its version of Tomblin’s bill on Monday to move up the primary to May 14, a Saturday.

Tomblin had earlier proclaimed an Oct. 4 general election, following this month’s state Supreme Court ruling on the matter. The Senate version keeps that date, while House Judiciary endorsed a Sept. 13 general election instead. That change would require another proclamation if it prevails.

House Speaker Rick Thompson said the quicker time frame reflects the state Supreme Court’s Jan. 18 call for an election for governor “as soon as practicable.”

“There is plenty of time to get this election done, and carry out the mandate of the Supreme Court,” said Thompson, D-Wayne.

Lawmakers are also considering budgeting $8 million to cover both elections. Tomblin on Monday expressed no preference regarding either set of dates.

“I’m just pleased that both houses are moving toward a primary election,” the Logan County Democrat told reporters in his Capitol reception room.

Acting Senate President Jeff Kessler also downplayed the dueling dates – while noting that he had proposed a June 20 primary to save taxpayer dollars and in the spirit of that holiday..

“The dates, you’re talking maybe a matter of weeks,” said Kessler, D-Marshall. “We’ll see what the (House) rationale is.”

Legislative rules normally provide for House-Senate conference committees to resolve differences over bills. But those joint rules aren’t yet in place, partly because of Senate leadership changes that stem from what prompted the Supreme Court’s ruling.

Tomblin is Senate president, and so under the state constitution began acting as governor when now-U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin resigned Nov. 15.

Responding to a legal challenge, the court ruled that an elected governor must take office within one year of that vacancy.

Manchin had more than two years left in his second term as governor when he won last year’s special election for U.S. Senate.

Tomblin has chosen to set aside his legislative duties to focus on the role of chief executive. That prompted senators to change their rules and elect Kessler as acting president in his absence. Among other effects, lingering questions over that move have delayed adoption of joint rules.

W.Va. seeks to run its own health exchange CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s top insurance official wants the state to embrace a key mandate of the federal health care overhaul, but she first must win over the Legislature.

State Insurance Commissioner Jane Cline and her staff have drafted a bill that would allow West Virginia to run its own insurance exchange. The sweeping federal law envisions state-based exchanges by 2014, marketplaces within which individuals and small businesses would choose from an array of private health coverage plans.

Cline said a state-run exchange reflects the best option for both consumers and insurers. Among other factors, she noted how extensively her office already regulates and interacts with the state’s insurance market.

“You want to control the cost as much as you can because the whole idea is to make the premiums as affordable as you can,” Cline said. “The do-

mestic insurance industry would rather work with us than the federal government.

We’re the people that are here on the ground. It’s easier for my consumer services staff to work with a West Virginia consumer.”

But while her office’s legislation is expected to debut Tuesday, GOP lawmakers have already emerged as likely foes to the measure.

Cline met Monday with House Republicans, who hold 35 of 100 seats but have proven major obstacles to those who advocate carrying out the overhaul.

“Our caucus still has a great concern with any type of legislation that implements the federal health care, Obamacare provisions,” House Minority Leader Tim Armstead said afterward.

The exchanges stem from the federal overhaul’s mandate that most Americans carry health insurance beginning in 2014, whether through an em-

ployer, a government program, or their own purchase. Around 253,000 West Virginians, or 14 percent of the population, went without coverage in 2009, the latest U.S. Census Bureau figures estimate.

Republicans in Congress seek to repeal the law, while several lawsuits target it largely because of its insurance mandate. The U.S. Supreme Court will likely decide those challenges. Two federal judges have ruled against the mandate, including one in Florida who declared the entire overhaul unconstitutional Monday.

Two other federal judges had earlier upheld the law.

Cline is hoping to win over critics by citing how West Virginia was preparing its own exchange well before the federal law. It had even obtained a $36 million, multiyear grant to set up an exchange, among other purposes, in 2009.

“We felt that it would be an option and a tool to better help West Virginia consumers and small businesses that are shopping for insurance,” Cline told the Associated Press. “It’s important that people understand that we were exploring the concept of an exchange to benefit WV consumers before this federal law was passed.”

Cline has also become an authority on the overhaul, having headed the National Association of Insurance Commissioners when it was passed and enacted last year.

Among other concerns, Armstead cited efforts to repeal or void the law.

WVU monitors fans, recruits

brian gawthrop associated sports editor

School takes steps to stop illegal recruiting interactions

Excuse WVU for 2011 class Wednesday will be one of the most important days in recent West Virginia football history.

It’s National Signing Day for college football – the first day in which high school seniors can do away with the verbal commitment and sign a letter-of-intent officially signifying where they want to continue their college playing career.

For college football fans, the day has become somewhat of a cherished holiday, mainly because the day instills faith in a fanbase – most of the time, at least.

The reputation of signed prospects allows fans to judge whether the program is headed in the right direction, although, even if a team signed an unknown slow kid named Brian Gawthrop, fans would probably still be able to find an excuse to why he’s a solid pickup. (Here’s a hint: He wouldn’t be.)

Signing Day is the most exciting day between the team’s bowl game and its season opener.

The last couple of signing days have been positive ones for the West Virginia football program. Since current head coach Bill Stewart took over in 2008, the Mountaineers have consistently been ranked around 30th nationally by recruiting services, including earning the program’s first top-25 ranking in 2009 when Scout.com ranked WVU 22nd.

Don’t expect Stewart’s final recruiting class as head coach to be as satisfying on paper.

Of course, Stewart and his newly-formed offensive staff have their excuses – number one being, well, that they are newly formed. But that may have been the least of their worries this recruiting period.

Yes, the group had the pleasure of dealing with the alwaysintriguing coach-in-waiting situation. I’m sure the entire staff fully enjoyed giving the “this will be your head coach next year, and it’s going to be great” speech.

I hope you can sense the sarcasm.

Just to be honest, Stewart’s effect on convincing recruits to attend West Virginia probably had little to do with the prospect’s final decision. After all, the player already knows that Dana Holgorsen will be with him longer than Stewart will.

Even though Stewart was surely promoting Holgorsen throughout the past month, essentially the staff was a man down while recruiting.

Making things more difficult for the staff, however, was the fact that WVU’s four new coaches – Holgorsen, Bill Bedenbaugh, Shannon Dawson and Robert Gillespie – came to West Virginia with little or no familiarity with recruiting on the East Coast, as most are more familiar with areas in the Midwest.

Holgorsen said he recruited brief stints in Florida, but is most comfortable with the Houston area. Only Gillespie, who played for Florida, has true ties to the southeast.

Judging by West Virginia’s current commitments, it appears the new staff took the strategy of recruiting in areas where they are comfortable this season. The team has already gathered four Midwest prospects since Holgorsen’s hire – three of which are offensive skill players and another, defensive tackle Shawntel Rowell, went to Iowa Western, where Holgorsen played his college ball.

The coaching staff will likely

WVU wants to end losing streak

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

Walking off the court at DePaul, the West Virginia women’s basketball team heard an unfamiliar chant.

“Overrated” reigned down from the stands of McGrath Arena following the blowout DePaul gave the No. 14 Mountaineers.

“I haven’t heard that since I’ve been here,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey.

To some, that cheer may be a sign for distress.

But, not for Carey.

“That’s out of respect,” he said. “You have to be rated to be overrated.”

After sustaining a pair of Big East Conference losses last week, the Mountaineers return home to face Providence tonight at 7 at the WVU Coliseum.

With just a day of rest following Sunday’s 78-55 loss at No. 9 DePaul, Carey admits he would rather have a week of practice before playing again.

Carey said his team is not playing with any “urgency or emotions” and hopes changes come soon.

“We need practice time, and we don’t have that right now,” he said. “They need to get their edge back. You can’t just keep taking punches, you have to swing back and right now we’re not swinging, we’re standing around.”

Carey said a big part of the team’s recent struggles rest on the shoulders of the team’s five seniors. Last season, there were no seniors on the squad.

“I thought we were hungrier last year,” said the 10th-year head coach. “We can’t worry about who we’re playing. It’s us and it’s my job to fix it. I’m the head coach, so I need to figure out how to fix it.”

He also gave a stirring message to those five players.

“I told the seniors yesterday, ‘if we’re going to lose, we’re going to lose with freshman,’” Carey said. “We sure as heck

SCOUTING REPORT – The Mountaineers are riding a fivegame winning streak against the Friars.

Facing each other 20 times 1996, WVU holds a 16-4 advantage.

– Leading scorer Symone Roberts also is a well-known penetrator. With her small stature, she is hard to defend and can dish the ball to open teammates. She is second on the team with 51 assists.

– Teya Wright will create problems for the Mountaineers inside, especially if Madina Ali is limited due to injury. Wright leads the Big East in Offensive rebounds with 4.1 a game.

With seven seniors, the No. 1 West Virginia rifle team has shown its experience this season. Setting records on a weekly basis, the team has lived up to its expectations.

Senior Tommy Santelli is used to that.

As a freshman, the Prosperity, Pa., native posted a second-place 577 in the Great American Rifle Conference and NCAA Championships in smallbore and air rifle, respectively.

Now, Santelli is enjoying the success he achieved as a freshman in his final year, which is something the veteran relishes.

“There is an expected responsibility of being a leader which is a challenge I enjoy,” Santelli said. “It’s something I’ve always been good at, especially thinking of my experiences with the Eagle Scouts.”

Santelli has averaged an

aggregate score of 1,167 this season, which ranks third behind senior Nicco Campriani (1,185) and sophomore Petra Zublasing (1,179). Santelli has averaged scores of 588 and 579 in air rifle and smallbore, respectively, posting high scores of 593 and 585 in the two disciplines.

The Mountaineers lost their only match of the season in the second week to TCU 4,674-4,663 without Campriani and Zublasing.

Santelli finished first against TCU with an aggregate score of 1,173. He led the team to a 2,325-2,315 victory against the Horned Frogs in the smallbore discipline, shooting a personal best 585. But, the team fell short in air rifle.

Santelli has shot in big matches throughout his career at WVU and has learned the importance of a strong work ethic.

That’s something he wouldn’t have without

WVU must research safer ways to drill wells The recent Marcellus Shale natural gas boom in the surrounding area has West Virginia University making efforts to research further and possibly bring thousands of jobs to the state.

Marcellus Shale is a geological formation that lies between 5,000 and 8,000 feet below the Earth’s surface and is a plentiful source of natural gas, which was previously thought unretrievable, but due to technology is now within reach.

WVU is receiving a $354,000 grant from the nonprofit Gas

Technology Institute to be used for research on the Marcellus Shale gas.

Even though this could mean big bucks for the state, the environment could pay heavy costs.

Millions of gallons of water are mixed with chemicals and must be injected deep within the Marcellus Shale to break up and release the gas in a process known as fracking.

Fracking has caused numerous reports of environmental risks, such as contaminated well-water, and has been an is-

sue to West Virginians and others in the Appalachian Region.

Evidence of contaminated water from drilling areas making its way to residents’ drinking water have been found; some were reported able to ignite their tap water.

Filmmaker Josh Fox released a documentary titled “Gasland” last year in hopes of informing the public of the dangers of fracking.

The documentary was made after Fox was offered $100,000 to have a well drilled on his land in 2005.

He researched the effects fracking has on the environment, and the results are startling to say the least.

He brought his film, which was nominated for an Academy Award, to WVU for a free viewing in October 2010.

Efforts must be made to end America’s dependence on foreign resources, but our beautiful environment should not be destroyed in the process.

With the money received, WVU must research safer ways to extract the gas from the ground.

The benefits of a local energy supply are nothing if our rivers and streams are destroyed.

It is difficult to deny the state of West Virginia could use the extra revenue from adding gas wells, but more drilling needs to be done in a way that doesn’t harm our drinking water or streams.

With this research money, it is vital that safer ways are found to help maintain our environment while extracting this resource.

American taxpayers should not feed tyrannical Egyptian rule tomas engle columnist

What started as an act of solidarity with their protesting neighbors in Tunisia has now morphed into an all-out revolt against the government in Egypt.

The historic events began on Jan. 25 when across Egypt a “Day of Anger” was planned to coincide with National Police Day. A national holiday mandated in 2009, it has roots in the Egyptian fight against colonialism when local police officers refused British Army demands to disarm. The ensuing stand-off left 50 police officers dead and was a widely documented event in the fight for independence from de facto British rule.

Fast forward to the present where President Hosni Mubarak has turned the revolutionary day into a forced day of honor to the guardians of his police state. In power since the assassination of President Anwar Sadat in 1981, Mubarak has ruthlessly terrified the Egyptian populace into compliance for three decades.

Seen as a symbol of stability in the West, Mubarak has built his one-party state on a foundation of fear (against the ever exaggerated threats from Islamist political group, the Muslim Brotherhood) and boatloads of cash from the American government.

According to the Christian Science Monitor, the U.S. government has given the Egyptian state $1.3 billion in military aid every year since 1979.

Including smaller amounts towards “economic assis-

tance,” which inevitably ends up going to Mubarak-loyal companies, Egypt has been on the total receiving end of more than $50 billion from American taxpayers.

While Egypt has been home to protests against the government before, none have been this large and pervasive across all walks of life: From the 40 percent of Egypt’s population of 80 million that subsist on $2 a day, to the foreigneducated middle class. Even the religious divide between Christians (which make up 10 percent of the population) and Muslims has apparently been bridged with chants of “Muslameen Mesiheen Kolina Masreen” which means “Muslims Christians We Are All Egyptians,” routinely rising up from the protest crowds.

And despite the reasons for protesting varying from high food prices and unemployment to political corruption and a lack of civil liberties, all protestors agree on one thing: President Hosni Mubarak must go.

With tens of thousands of protestors turning into hundreds of thousands across the country, the government shut down all conventional Internet service providers and blocked cell phone signals on Jan. 28.

While many foreign observers have been more than eager to attribute some, if not all, of the protest’s strength to Facebook and Twitter, most of the protest planning has been spontaneous and by word of mouth.

Facebook and Twitter have been utilized by some techsavvy youth, but mostly as a means of getting information out of the country and not as an organizational tool within.

President Mubarak, in a

ap

An anti-government protester being carried on the shoulders of another holds up a portrait of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on which he had drawn a moustache and hair in black to represent Adolf Hitler display of isolation from his own people, has refused to step down from power and continues to unleash a variety of carrot and stick methods to get the protestors to go home.

First, it was Mubarak’s usual method of sending out the police to bash in some heads.

This time, however, the protests are so large and the issues are so grave, the protestors have been able to withstand police attacks.

Al Jazeera has even noted several policemen taking off their uniforms and crossing

over to join the protestors.

Mubarak then called in the army, but reminiscent of scenes from the fall of the Soviet Union, the protestors happily greeted the soldiers who were all too reluctant to fire on their own people.

Then, on Jan. 29 came the firing of Mubarak’s cabinet, their replacement by military figures, and the appointment of Egypt’s intelligence chief, Omar Suleiman, as vice president.

These token gestures were taken exactly as such by the protestors and can be best

summed up by one of the protest signs: “I will go home when Mubarak goes home.”

The latest Mubarak tactic, according to numerous locals via Twitter, is to sow chaos through theft and vandalism to make the citizens support their government again.

The prisons have released all their prisoners, and the police now roam the city in plain clothes, looting homes and destroying priceless antiquities in the public museums.

Though the army has not showed any violence towards the protestors yet, the protes-

tors’ enthusiasm for them has waned as jets now strafe the protestors to intimidate them.

Despite the arrival of Mohamed ElBaradei (former Director general of the United Nation’s International Atomic Energy Agency) to lend his support to the protests, the U.S. government refuses to endorse the well-known moderate as a transition figure and repudiate the dictator Mubarak. If the U.S. is to have any shred of legitimacy left, it should cut all foreign aid to Egypt and stop supporting Mubarak.

Chocolate milk more than a simple snack; it’s an athlete’s best friend hannah muniz Daily Trojan uwire

Water bottles are so last season.

The next time you head to the gym, replace that H2O with a good old-fashioned glass of chocolate milk.

Yes, this is what doctors and athletes are saying these days: Chocolate milk is now the ultimate sports drink.

In recent years, chocolate milk has evolved from an elementary school student’s treat to a delicious and inexpensive replacement for overpriced Gatorades and various other fitness drinks.

Claims have been made that chocolate milk benefits the human body as much as, if not more than, routine energy formulas, flaunting an ideal com-

bination of natural carbohydrates and proteins.

Since this discovery, even more studies have been conducted to determine just how beneficial chocolate milk can be for athletes.

According to a 2009 study in Medical News Today, chocolate milk was found to meet, and in some cases exceed, the post-workout recovery benefits of an equal-calorie sports drink.

A 2007 British study declared milk to be better at restoring fluid levels than water and other sports drinks after exercising under hot conditions.

With the appearance of these recent studies, it’s no wonder sports drink sales plummeted in 2009.

Although most would attribute this downfall to economic hardships or other sales factors, the recent popularity

of chocolate milk might have affected the downward trend.

Who wouldn’t choose cheap, delicious chocolate milk over a sports drink, anyway?

The benefits of chocolate milk are not necessarily new. Runners in particular have lauded the drink for years, praising it as a post-run miracle.

Only recently are other fields of fitness beginning to understand the benefits.

Olympic gold-medalist Michael Phelps drank chocolate milk after swim sessions in the 2004 Olympics, helping to subtly promote the refreshment as a refueling wonder for sports other than just running or weight-lifting.

But why is chocolate milk so good for you? What exactly is it doing to garner such high praise from the athletic and medical communities?

Chocolate milk has a natural ratio of carbohydrates to proteins that is ideal for muscle recovery process after intense strength-training and aerobic exercises.

The amino acids found in chocolate milk also help to prevent future muscle damage and are capable of shortening recovery periods between workouts. The acids repair damaged muscle tissue while promoting leaner muscle mass.

Additionally, chocolate milk, like plain milk, contains vitamin D and calcium levels that are significantly higher than those found in rival sports drinks. Such levels not only promote healthier muscles but also strengthen bones.

It is a more affordable beverage than sports drinks, too.

If you’re not looking to buy a whole gallon of chocolate milk, simply picking up a bot-

tle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup is enough to keep you satisfied.

For the busy college student, chocolate milk is anything but inconvenient.

Whether you’re chugging a glass or purchasing a small carton, you’re bound to find chocolate milk for sale in just about any place you go.

If you’re worried about calorie content, chocolate milk shouldn’t be a problem. For something light, simply opt for skim milk.

If the creamier texture is tempting you after a hard workout, indulge in a glass of chocolate whole milk instead.

Either way, you’ll still be getting the same vitamins and proteins that are necessary for your muscles to properly recover.

But what about the lactose intolerant? Athletes can still reap the benefits by gulping

down chocolate soy milk.

Though soy milk contains fewer proteins than regular milk, it is still an effective recovery drink with similar vitamins and minerals.

Aside from all the technical benefits of chocolate milk, what could be better than a sports drink that sounds like a dessert?

It might still hold the title of a sugary and unhealthy treat, but its well-documented benefits are proof enough that a glass or two shouldn’t leave you feeling guilty.

It’s important that all athletes understand the golden rule when exercising: Drinking something is vital in the first 30 minutes after exercising to repair any damaged or overstrained muscles.

And when it comes to choosing something both delicious and convenient, chocolate milk reigns supreme.

Continued from page 3 said. “We try to curb any of the activity where students show up with signs or formulate any group where they would welcome them with chants … Anything that would be personalized or directed to a prospect.”

Cunningham’s staff has sent out information in the fall and will again in the spring to Mountaineer Maniacs about refraining from such actions, as it did two years ago. The compliance department also sends out additional information when a particularly large or significant group of athletes are visiting campus.

With Wednesday’s National Letter of Intent Day approaching, the Athletic Department’s Compliance Office sent out information to boosters telling them to refrain from attending signing day events. Boosters are prohibited from having contact with signees until after they attend preseason football camp or classes at WVU. “You really start to contact your booster population, which includes former students, because they can’t have any on- or off-campus contact with prospects,” she said.

“We’ve had a number of fans and boosters that have contacted us, asking ‘Can I attend this?’ or ‘Can I go to that?’”

w.bball

Continued from page 3 are not going to lose with those seniors. They better make a decision on what they want to do here.”

Following her nine-point performance against DePaul senior guard Liz Repella labeled the Mountaineers play as “unacceptable.” While she said there is no doubt the team, especially her fellow seniors, remain hungry to close out the season on a high note, there is still plenty of effort left to finish the season strong.

“You have to work hard and it starts in practice,” Repella said. “If the balls aren’t rolling your way you have to work extra hard.”

Moving forward, it looks like WVU will be taking a hit to its starting lineup. Forward Madina Ali has been playing with a stress fracture in her lower leg nearly all season. Carey noted he could vividly see her fighting pain recently, but Sunday’s game, where she logged 22 minutes may be the calling to rest the Williamsport, Pa., native. Carey said shutting her down for the season may be the best option for her own well-being.

“I’m real concerned,” he said. “She can’t jump like she was jumping; she’s not as physical as she was. It’s not her fault, playing on a stress fracture. A lot of people (in her position) wouldn’t be playing.” matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 3 Eagle Scouts.

“I was disciplined to know what needs to be done and how to accomplish it. As an Eagle Scout you have to do a project pertaining to the community, where you’re completely responsible for completing your project,” Santelli said. “It definitely made me more disciplined on how to carry myself and accomplish tasks.”

Santelli, who is an engineering major, also noted how the Eagle Scouts have helped him achieve success in school, giving him the discipline to balance class and homework along with a Division I-A sport.

When the senior isn’t on the rifle range or working on his studies, he has enjoyed pursuing a new hobby, playing bagpipes.

“A friend of mine plays them, and I asked him a little about them because it seemed interesting,” Santelli said. “I can play at a moderate level, it’s something that is fun and unique and not a lot of people know how to do it.”

Santelli is heading into the final stretch of his senior year and is now on track to see his final season as a Mountaineer end as something special.

“Knowing we’re a strong team, I’ve been better prepared each week, because I know what to expect,” Santelli said.

“Knowing it’s my senior year I want to have good results and go out on top.” brad.joyal@mail.wvu.edu

Cunningham, who was hired by Athletic Director Oliver Luck last year, has instituted new policies to help assure WVU fans are not caught in illegal situations.

One graduate assistant in the Compliance Office has the task of looking on the Internet, including message boards, to see if any potential violations have occurred between fans and prospective athletes.

“You can try to locate it, but you’re not going to spend all day looking for something that’s happening,” Cunningham said. “But, depending on the time of year, you can try to figure it out and address it with the individual.”

Cunningham said in her four months, she has not had to pursue fans who have made significant posts on athletes’ Facebook pages or Twitter accounts.

It does occur, though.

“A lot of times, the individual doesn’t know that his or her action is in violation of a rule. As a result, you’ll contact them, and they’ll stop the interaction,” Cunningham said.

“In the event where you’ll have someone that just won’t stop, the rules are the rules and we can only communicate them legally – you can’t sensor someone from not speaking.”

Three-star middle linebacker recruit LaQuentin Smith made his official visit

to WVU last weekend. He decided on Pittsburgh over West Virginia in the end, but his Facebook page was filled with comments from fans of both schools about where he should play in the future.

Other recruits like quarterback Brian Athey and cornerback Vance Roberts, who enrolled at WVU this semester, had a significant number of posts from West Virginia fans prior to enrolling in school.

Some athletes across the country have had a similar issue. One, the 21st-rated player linebacker C.J. Johnson quit Facebook after rumors online circulated about his mother following a de-commitment from Mississippi State to Ole Miss.

It is illegal, according to NCAA rules, for fans with interest in an athlete joining a particular school to contact an athlete. It is also against NCAA rules to create Facebook pages for potential athletes attending a specific school. In 2009, an N.C. State student was given a cease and desist letter from the university after developing a “John Wall PLEASE come to NC STATE!!!!” Facebook page.

Fans who are unsure whether their presence at a certain event would be against NCAA rules, contact the WVU Compliance Office. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

Men’s, women’s basketball ranked The West Virginia men’s basketball team has found its way back into the top 25 this week.

The Mountaineers are ranked No. 25 in the newest Associated Press poll released Monday. WVU is one of seven Big East Conference teams ranked, which is by far the highest of any conference.

West Virginia (14-6, 5-3) is coming off a 55-54 loss to No. 15 Louisville last Wednesday and a 66-55 victory over Cincinnati, which is receiving votes, Saturday.

WVU faces Seton Hall Wednesday at the WVU Coliseum starting at 7 p.m.

The West Virginia women’s basketball team fell six spots to No. 14 in the newly released AP top 25 poll. The Mountaineers were ranked No. 8 last week, but fell after two road losses to top 25 teams.

West Virginia (19-3, 5-3) is coming off a 78-55 loss to No. 17 Georgetown last Tuesday and a 65-60 blowout loss to No. 9 DePaul.

The Mountaineers are one of six Big East teams in the rankings this week. They face Providence tonight at 7 at the Coliseum.

track and field

O’Connell finishes second

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

The No. 7 West Virginia track team continued its success this season with an impressive showing at the Penn State National Invitational Saturday.

Senior Jessica O’Connell made the jump into the NCAA top 10 rankings in the mile after finishing second in the mile with a time of 4:43.74.

Freshman Kaitlyn Gillespie followed O’Connell with a third place showing, finishing in 4:46.60.

The Mountaineers 4x400 team of Jordann Mitchell, Brittany Wolford, Chelsea Carrier

and Shakiyla Cosby also posted its best finish of the season, crossing the line in just 3:49.42.

“This was one of our best all-around team efforts in recent memory,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary in a release.

“We left Penn State with the 4x400 team smashing their season-best time and everything just came together. It was exciting to see this team perform so well across the board.”

WVU’s Keri Bland, Sarah Martinelli, Hallie Portner and Mitchell also took second place in the distance medley event, crossing the finish line in 11:53.14.

All-American senior Kaylyn

Christopher also ran her best 1,000-meter race of her career.

Christopher’s 2:45.56 finish was good enough for second place and second all-time in WVU history.

Former NCAA Champion Kate Vermuelen currently holds the record.

“We were able to get a few more girls running this weekend,” Cleary said. “We’re now just a few weeks away from the Big East Championships so it is important that we are prepared.

“We are making strides as a team and just need to put it all together and stay healthy now.” derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

WVU continues rough start to year

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

The West Virginia tennis team fell in both its matches this weekend, sliding to 1-4 on the year.

The Mountaineers lost 6-1 to James Madison on Saturday and 5-2 to Liberty on Sunday.

“We’re at a crossroads where we need to figure out what we’re willing to give up to get better,” said first-year WVU tennis coach Tina Samara in a release. A call to Samara for an interview was not returned.

The Mountaineers opened the weekend on Saturday with James Madison University.

Although nothing is binding until Wednesday, the current West Virginia commitment list consists of 22 players and isn’t

WVU’s No. 4 singles player, freshman Mary Chupa, notched the team’s lone victory after finishing her match 6-1, 6-3.

Freshman Melis Tanik, sophomore Emily Mathis and junior Veronica Cardenas all lost in singles competition, as well. The Dukes swept the doubles competition, winning 6-8 in the first two spots.

“We got off to a slow start and paid for it the rest of the match,” Samara said. “If we would have won a couple of those first sets, this would’ve been a very different match.”

It was much of the same story for WVU Sunday.

WVU fell 5-2 to the Lady

Flames, winning two singles matches.

Chupa, again, won her match in the No. 4 spot, sending her opponent down in three sets, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2. Cardenas won her bout at the No. 3 position in the singles competition. Cardenas also won in three sets, 3-6, 6-4, 6-0.

“We had two match points in doubles and two match points in singles, which would’ve won the doubles and singles point,” Samara said. “We could have walked away with four match points, but didn’t end up winning any of them.”

ranked higher than 46th.

Some have called it embarrassing.

But don’t be so quick to judge the recruiting abilities of the new staff based on what big name it does or doesn’t sign this year, and remember what it was put up against in the past month.

And, unlike Stewart in his first year, it didn’t have a BCS Bowl win (or any type of bowl

win for that matter) to build off of. Don’t forget the possible NCAA violations that the program may be facing, as well.

The staff has had nearly every obstacle thrown at them in the short month it has been together. Remember that if your favorite day of the offseason ends up being a disappointment.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, slow your very hectic pace and look around. See life from a different perspective. Your ability to understand others and see the end results of actions can only be enhanced. Center, meditate and/or do stress-reducing exercise more often. If you are single, you have a unique desirability, probably because you are somewhat withdrawn this year. Others come forward and declare that they want to be yours. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from honoring your deepest feelings. Also, frequent getaways together could be important.

CAPRICORN understands you better than you understand yourself!

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Others, especially a boss or respected authority figure, have great expectations.

Can you meet them? Most likely. What is clear is your drive and desire to fulfill this need. Stop. How grounded are these projects? Tonight: Visiting with friends.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Many people have great ideas. You might appreciate all the suggestions. Most of all, talking and sharing open up your mind to new potential and break down, or at least point out, rigid thinking. A friend could reverse his or her stance or plans at the last minute. Tonight: Working late.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH A partner continues to demand a lot of attention. He or she wants to be more a part of the process. This person sometimes feels left out in the cold. As a door opens and new beginnings occur, realize that you might not totally understand his or

her sense of isolation. Tonight: Relax with a good game of Scrabble, or do a crossword puzzle.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Deferring to others must get tiring, but you might have little choice ... for now. Unfortunately, those who take the immediate situation as being permanent will find out otherwise. A conversation with a key friend is important. This person is asking you to shed some light on a certain issue. Tonight: Share with a partner or best friend.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Completing tasks needs to be highlighted.

You will have your share of disruptions, some of which you will welcome. Clearly, someone wants to brainstorm. Be flattered, but make sure you want to indulge in this activity with this person. Tonight: Sigh -- finally.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Your imagination could be funneled into what you are doing, or it could completely distract you from the task at hand. The choice is yours. Do work with an unpredictable partner who can be the source of a lot of problems. Tonight: Choose something soothing.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH As you see it, someone might be raining on your parade. You might not be able to focus on what you want until much later. Accept new technology, especially around the workplace. Let ingenuity filter in. Tonight: Live for the moment.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Restraining yourself from saying what is on

your mind can be costly, especially to your well-being. Withholding affects the topic or situation you are dealing with. Try verbalizing more often. No one has to always agree with you! Tonight: Relax at home.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Stay confident, share your ideas and deal with finances or the root of an issue. Be practical yet responsive to others’ ideas, even if they are somewhat off-the-wall.

Separate work from pleasure. Still, a wink goes a long way. Tonight: Out and about.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH You are in your element. Make the first move rather than stand on ceremony. Be open to a very positive change. An unexpected opportunity needs to be greeted, not shunned. Be sure of your finances before accepting any invitations. Tonight: Gather your bills.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH You might accomplish a lot if you remain behind closed doors. Note a hunch. This one might be worth following through on. Let understanding grow. Share more of your long-term goals with a trusted friend. Tonight: Finally, a second wind.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Realize how close you are to succeeding or completing a major project. Meetings are instrumental. Reveal more of your offbeat thinking. Money gains are likely to be heading your way if you dot your i’s and cross your t’s. Tonight: Time just for you. You deserve it.

Despite comic book setting, ‘The Cape’ a family drama by david ryan A&E editor

For David Lyons, the prospect of being suited up in his character’s superhero costume for 14 hours a day wasn’t what attracted him to the role of “The Cape.”

Instead, it was the idea of a science fiction show being rooted with a “very, very real family,” he said in a conference call Monday.

That importance of family helped him approach the character.

His character, Vince Fara-

day is “a family man that’s torn away from everything that he loves, and he’s using this last vestige of hope in order to get it all back,” Lyons said.

Despite the genre, Lyons doesn’t consider his character a superhero in the traditional sense.

“I suspect, and in fact, know, that when he puts it on, it’s all about creating the image of a superhero,” he said.

“But at the very heart, beneath the cape and beneath the breastplate, it’s a guy that’s just desperate to do what he needs to do.”

Now, 10 episodes in, Lyons has come to appreciate the show’s roots.

“It’s kind of been a really interesting and steep learning curve for me in terms of the genre of the world and the mythology of these worlds,” he said. “But one which has been incredibly enjoyable and quite a huge eye-opener and quite a thrill.”

Working with the cast has also been a great experience, he said.

“We’ve assembled not only just the most fantastic bunch of actors, like, right through

every single role, they’re also an incredibly fun, humble, awesome bunch to be around,” he said. “We’ve managed to create a really beautiful family environment that is a lot of fun to work in.”

The role has been challenging, he said, demanding much more physical elements than he’s used to.

“Prior to starting the pilot, I was training with a fight choreography crew called 8711 that work in mixed martial arts,” he said. “Every fighter has their own technique, and he’s got a particular one, which kind of

comes from a military background, so we’re kind of focusing on close-quarter combat.”

Lyons, an Australian, joins a league of American superhero figures played by foreign actors (Batman is played by a Welshman, the new Superman is English).

In Palm Springs, Calif., the show’s setting, even the villains aren’t American.

“It’s weird, though; all the baddies are English. I’m not sure what (the show’s writers) saying,” he joked. david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

Paramore heads to Grammys more ‘unified’ than ever despite changes

This undated photo provided by The Hartman Group shows Melissa Etheridge as St. Jimmy in “American Idiot.”

Pop/punk band Paramore at the 2010 Grammys.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The members of Paramore are hoping to close out what’s been a particularly challenging chapter in the band’s history on a high note – as Grammy winners.

They are nominated for best pop performance by a duo or group with vocals for the hit “The Only Exception.”

The nomination comes after two of Paramore’s founding members quit the band late last year.

Lead singer Hayley Williams said the rest of the Tennesseebased band is staying positive.

“Losing members is not a fun thing to go through, but I think that now we really feel unified,” she told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “We feel strong, and we’re going to be stoked to represent Nashville and represent our band and our fans at the Grammys.”

The split was less than amicable.

The band’s official statement said that brothers Josh and Zac Farro had been planning to leave for a couple months and had seemed un-

happy with the band for the past year. But ultimately, it wished them well and expressed hope that they would find happiness elsewhere.

The brothers responded to the statement with a scathing blog post, largely blaming Williams for dividing the band.

Despite the downsizing, Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis and guitarist Taylor York have big plans for the band’s future.

They’re touring South America starting Feb. 16. in Brazil.

“We’ve only been one other time, but it was crazy,” said Davis. “The venues are growing, and it’s pretty exciting.”

After that, they have cleared their schedules and will concentrating on making new music. ”We just want to take the chance to do anything we’ve ever wanted to do that we’ve never had time to do,” said Williams. “We’ve always wanted to do an EP. Our fans want us to do acoustic stuff. We do want to do collaborations, but I guess we’re just going to let it unfold itself.”

The Grammy nomination marks a turning point for the

STAR WARS

ers suggested she might want to join the show.

“When they called me, at first I was like, `Aw, no. That’s really nice, but no,’” she recalls. “Then I kind of sat with it for a couple of days and thought, ‘This could be supercool and superfun.’”

Michael Mayer, the show’s director and story co-writer, says Etheridge has made the part her own during rehearsals.

“It shakes everything up sonically from what we’re used to hearing, which is really wild,” he says. “She sounds beautiful on it, and haunting and there’s a very different emotionality that she brings to it.”

While Etheridge says singing the new songs isn’t too much of a stretch – “It’s all up in my rockin’ screaming range,” she says – the physical work of performing has been an adjustment.

“To get up there on stage without a guitar in front of me is the first sort of fear barrier I had to get through,” she says.

For the past few days, she’s been soaking up the show and chatting with Armstrong. “What a sweetheart and what a talent,” she says. “I’m a Green Day fan, but I haven’t gotten inside the

songs the way I have now and I really appreciate his talent very, very much.”

Etheridge, who will tour Canada after her shows to support her latest album, “Fearless Love,” is also getting a thrill from being in the same theater where “Hello, Dolly!” “Oklahoma!”

“The Producers” and “Tommy” were staged.

“Being a part of that is really thrilling,” she says.

Etheridge, who is writing her own Broadway musical, says her debut on the Great White Way has given her new credibility with her two older children, Bailey Jean and Beckett, who are huge fans of the show and Green Day. “My daughter was listening to it over and over. You know how when a 14-year-old gets something, they listen to it all day and all night? So I started to know these songs and just from osmosis got more familiar with it,” Etheridge says.

“Then when the offer came in, I went, ‘OK, how can I tell my daughter I said no,’” she says, laughing. “And, of course, it made me instantly cool with her, which is hard to do with junior high kids.”

also doesn’t have any amazing lightsaber duels into which he can engage, instead only having giant beasts and robots to hack and slash.

Even though Boba Fett makes an appearance, Starkiller never fights him, a missed moment of awesome.

The gameplay itself is fun, although occasionally repetitive, it has an abundance of quicktime events, which can get kind of bothersome.

The featured voice acting is pretty good for the most part, with special mention going out to Matt Sloan, star of webseries “Chad Vader” as Darth Vader, but actor Sam Witwer just seems to be really whiny and annoying in the role of Starkiller.

At the end of the day, this game feels like the first part of a full game, and not exactly a great one at that.

The best way to describe this game is shallow.

The areas are generic for the most part, the boss fights are lacking and the force just is not

band in more ways than one.

“This year what makes it so cool is the fact that we’re nominated for a pop category,” said Williams. “It’s really cool, because we’ve always been that rock or pop-punk band that’s kind of a little bit the outcast, not really the outcast, but sort of on the outside of things. So this will be awesome to bridge the gap.”

Williams is nominated separately for best pop collaboration with vocals. She sang the hook in the song “Airplanes” with B.o.B. and Eminem.

“I’ve wanted to be ‘that girl’ on a hip-hop song for a really long time, and it seems like I sort of landed myself on a track with two of my favorite hip-hop artists,” she said.

“Bob is such a great new artist, and he’s young, and he’s fresh.

Obviously, (I’m) so obsessed with Eminem. So, if that wins anything, I’m just going to be beaming.”

The platinum-selling band has released three albums, with hits including “Misery Business.”

The Grammys air Feb. 13 on CBS.

NEW YORK (AP) — Melissa Etheridge says she’s having a “blast” getting in touch with her punk side.

The Grammy and Oscar-winning singer-songwriter will play drug dealer St. Jimmy in the hit Broadway musical based on Green Day’s rock opera, “American Idiot.”

“It’s been crazy. Oh my God, it’s so fun, though,” the folk rocker says. “I’m having a blast.

I’m so outside of my comfort zone and I’m like living out high school fantasies.”

Etheridge, 49, takes over the part from Green Day’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong for eight shows, from Tuesday to Sunday.

The high-octane show follows three working-class characters as they wrestle with finding meaning in their lives. One joins the Army and is deployed to the Middle East, one becomes a father and struggles with domestic life, and one descends into – thanks to St. Jimmy, a sort of charismatic dark angel originally written for a man.

Etheridge, best known for her songs “Come to My Window” and “I’m the Only One,” was initially hesitant when produc-

A&E Minnillo to guest star on ‘30 Rock’ 10

TUESday FEBRUARY 1, 2011

by david ryan A&E editor

The ladies of “30 Rock” are about to get a little crazier.

Two weeks after accidentally marrying her boss, the showrunner of popular NBC show “TGS with Tracy Jordan” will pretend she’s pregnant.

Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) will pretend to be pregnant in an effort to detract from her boss’s pregnant girlfriend, Avery (Elizabeth Banks), who’s coming under scrutiny by a “fierce” anchor colleague, played by guest star Vanessa Minnillo.

“This is a big deal for me,” she said. “This is ‘30 Rock’, NBC, it’s, you know, Emmy Award winning, Golden Globe winning. And the cast alone is just - this is as good as it gets.”

CONTACT US 304-293-5092 ext. 3 | DAA&E@mail.wvu.edu

Minnillo plays Carmen Chao, a tough personality on cable network MSNBC, where Avery is trying to keep her pregnancy low-key.

“She’s bananas,” she said. ““You know she - I don’t think she’s malicious, but she’s definitely driven, and she’s definite – she knows exactly what she wants, and she will stop at nothing to get it,” she said.

“So, I loved that part of her. I loved that she’s very, very on it.”

Minnillo said she channeled that energy while auditioning for the part in Cincinnati.

“I put myself on tape and just went all out, because at this point you can’t meet the people. You can’t, you know, have conversations. You can’t redo it; they can’t direct you,” she said. “I just – I was kind of a little crazy, so that - I wanted

them to really get a feel for me and what I thought Carmen Chao’s character was.”

With some help from her friend, Minnillo produced a tape in the guise of the character without provided lines.

After winning over the producers, all she needed was Fey’s approval.

“I heard through the grapevine Tina saw it and was like, ‘Wow, this girl is crazy. She’s perfect,’” she said.

For Minnillo, the show comes at a busy time. Along with other acting opportunities, she’s also engaged to former 98 Degrees singer Nick Lachey.

“We’re enjoying being engaged,” she said. “Everyone rushes to the next step, and I like this step, you know? It’s fun, and I’m in love, and we’re happy, so when it comes and

it happens organically, I will be welcoming it with open arms.”

Though her stint in the show is currently only one episode, doors remain open for the character, she said.

Even if she doesn’t return, Minnillo said she enjoyed the experience.

“You know, this is A-List – these are A-List actors and comedians that I’m working with, so I was completely beside myself,” she said. “I was so nervous that I was actually making myself sick just for the audition process.”

“I still don’t believe I’m on ‘30 Rock’,” she said. “I don’t think I’ll believe it until it airs the night of February 3, and I’m excited.”

Minnillo’s episode airs Thursday night at 10 on NBC. david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

Vanessa Minnillo will guest star on Thursday night’s episode of ‘30 Rock.’

‘Cloud Nothings’ a showcase of pop-rock insanity ‘Star Wars: Force Unleashed ALEX MCPHERSON CORRESPONDENT

Remember when mom told you to forget your garageband dreams and go to college?

Guess she was wrong.

Bummer.

Dylan Baldi pulls off the impossible as the mastermind of his new project Cloud Nothings.

After dropping out of college during finals week to open for lo-fi superstars Real Estate and Woods, he’s now released an infectious album of catchy quick-cut songs without passing a single calculus class.

If only we all could be so lucky.

Clocking in at less than 30 minutes, the self-titled “Cloud Nothings” is an ADHD brand of Pop-rock insanity.

The basic structure of each song is to throw together some power pop guitar and yell/ sing one line over and over.

But in its simplicity, the catchiness is nearly criminal.

“Understand At All” bluntly chides “I don’t understand your love; I don’t understand at all,” and really that’s all the song needs.

With a speedy guitar riff to pull the song into completion, it speaks just enough to resonate with nearly everyone.

Sometimes we just don’t understand love. It’s like I’m al-

ready in the artist’s head.

“You’re Not That Good At Anything” even pulls off impressive blues guitar while trashing a girl for seemingly no reason at all.

And the crazy thing is, you’ll find yourself singing along.

Without any peer pressure or personal conviction, the album lyrics seep into your brain, make you bob your head and motivate your mouth.

By the album’s climax you may find yourself asking, “What was that, and can I do it again?”

The lyrics are no philosophical breakthroughs, but, like one might expect from the complicated mind of an 18-year-old, are about

love problems, misunderstandings and being mildly angst-ridden.

Ohio’s newest indie darling is liable to get one of these radio-ready songs picked up, as “Cloud Nothings” is certainly an artist on the rise.

Although grandma may not find “Cloud Nothings” her cup of tea, if college kids can’t find one or two songs to connect to, they need to take a break from “Call of Duty” and try calling a girl.

Some missions are just as challenging, and you tend to score more than a trophy on your gamer card.

Darth Vader looms over a character from ‘Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.’

JAMES CARBONE CAMPUS CALENDAR EDITOR

When it comes to games based on the “Star Wars” franchise, fans are typically given a product that is fun to play with and enjoy.

Games like “Star Wars: Battlefront” and “Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic” have allowed gamers to step into the role of a Jedi and Imperial Stormtroopers to defeat many a foe.

2008’s “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” gave players a new character, Starkiller, Darth Vader’s secret apprentice who presumably died while saving the leaders of the rebellion and giving them a symbol with which to rally their forces.

It was a nice story, one that featured varied locales, tough bosses and more lightsaber duels than you can shake a stick at.

The same cannot be said of the sequel.

“Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II” starts off with Vader training a man who viewers can only presume is a clone of the original Starkiller, containing all his memories and skills but is nothing more than a genetic duplicate.

However, while Vader tries to reinforce the idea that Starkiller should disregard the original’s life, memories of his love, Juno Eclipse, drive him to escape Vader and reclaim the life he be-

web

lieves is his.

Along the way he encounters his former teacher, Rahm Kota, and droid friend, Proxy. When he finally finds Juno, she is kidnapped by infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett.

Now it is up to Starkiller, who may or may not be a clone, to rescue his love and fight off Vader’s influence once and for all.

Instead of the ambiguous nature of Starkiller in the original “Force Unleashed,” the Starkiller here is a hero, through and through, risking his life to save his friends and stop the empire.

He has since upgraded his fighting skills, adding a second lightsaber to the equation with which to decapitate stormtroopers right and left.

It also features the return of most of the force powers from the original, such as force lightning and force push, but also adds a new one with the mind trick, a power players can use to have enemies switch to their side or even kill themselves.

However, this game doesn’t have nearly as much depth, or even a very compelling story, compared to that of the original.

This time around, Starkiller only visits four different areas and one of them, Dagobah, pretty much only exists for a quick cutscene with Yoda and a visit in to the dark force tree from “The Empire Strikes Back.”

Outside of Vader, Starkiller
