City to update comprehensive plan by devon unger staff writer

The city of Morgantown is in the early stages of preparing a new comprehensive plan.

A comprehensive plan serves as a policy guide for the Morgantown Planning Commission and City Council. It gives the framework for county and municipal governments to prepare and adopt ways to promote orderly development, improve the welfare of the citizens and plan for growth such as highways and facilities.

The previous plan was created in 1998, and the 2005 Analysis of Impediments to

Fair Housing listed the development of a new plan as a goal. The State of West Virginia passed a new plan enabling legislation in 2004, and as part of that legislation, all comprehensive plans must be updated by 2014 and again every 10 years.

A new comprehensive plan is expected to be complete by early 2012, midway through the 2011 fiscal year, which begins in July.

“The presentation of the goals and objectives of the comprehensive plan will actually be presented in the coming weeks as part of the budget process. From there, we will be outlining specific recommenda-

tions regarding resources and how to implement it,” said City Manager Terrence Moore. “In essence, we are talking later this calendar year into the beginning of the calendar year 2012.”

The first presentation will be a Feb. 14 budget presentation. Presentations during the following weeks will further outline the process the city is taking to prepare the plan, as well as what the plan will likely contain.

“As part of that exercise, (Planning Director) Chris Fletcher’s role and function will be to discuss the tenets of the comprehensive plan, what we hope to accomplish and spe-

cific time frames associated therein,” Moore said.

The city budgeted $175,000 a couple years ago for comprehensive planning purposes, according to Fletcher. It applied for $1,000,000 in federal funds under the Sustainable Communities Planning Grant Program, but did not receive the funding. This application process delayed the development of a new plan.

“So now that we have not received the funds, we’re back to, ‘ok, well, let’s go ahead and move forward.’” Fletcher said.

“We are going to be working with the Metropolitan Planning Organization jointly on

this project. They are also scheduled to update their fiveyear long-range transportation plan that they are responsible for doing.”

Along with the agreement to work with the MPO, the city is hoping to join with Star City and Granville to prepare a plan that represents more than just the Morgantown city limits.

“We’re trying to get the scope of the study to geographically expand,” Fletcher said. “A community, like Morgantown, that is small ... the function of our market does not stop or start at our boundary. So, a development, whether its residential or commercial, outside the city

Chinese Club celebrates Chinese Lunar New Year by alex dufour correspondent

The Chinese Club at West Virginia University attracted student attention Thursday as they celebrated the Chinese Lunar New Year in the Mountainlair and outside of Woodburn Hall.

Several students gathered around the Chinese Club and took pictures while they performed the “Lion Dance” with a student in a full lion costume and banging one of the drums.

The Chinese Lunar New Year is a 15-day celebration that is the most celebrated event in China with many traditions including Chelsi Baker/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM the Lion Dance, playing with Senior political science and Chinese major Kevin Tellier, left, and senior Chinese and fire crackers, adults giving international studies major Mitra Ramkaree, right, play music as the dragon dances in “red envelopes” with cash inthe Mountainlair as a celebration of Chinese New Year. side and, most importantly,

the gathering of friends and family.

Huey Hannah Lin, WVU Chinese program coordinator, has been the Chinese Club adviser since it was founded in 2007.

Lin said the club normally organizes many cultural activities for their members every semester, including a Chinese lunch sale, Chinese calligraphy workshop, Chinese martial arts workshop, dumpling-making class, kung fu class, Chinese paper cutting class and the special New Year Lion Dance, which is open to the public.

“The lion dance is practiced in the lunar New Year because of its festive and auspicious power,” Lin said. “It is said that the lion will scare

Professor contributes to fashion encyclopedia

BY MEL ANTON CORRESPONDENT

Nora MacDonald, professor of fashion design and merchandising at West Virginia University, recently contributed a chapter to the first compiled fashion encyclopedia.

Made by Berg Publishing, the book, the Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion, has each volume representing a different country. MacDonald contributed to the United States and Canada volume in

her chapter on aging.

“It is a 10-volume encyclopedia that covers all of the different continents and island groupings,” she said. “It is the first encyclopedia of fashion.”

MacDonald’s chapter is about the options to consider when designing clothes for the aging or disabled population. She explained her interest in this field started in college, where she worked as a nurses’ aide for seven years during her undergraduate and graduate work.

He cited the growing number of student housing units being developed outside city limits, and the impact those students and their commute have on the Morgantown infrastructure.

Fletcher said Transportation issues like that would likely be issues addressed in a new plan.

“A good example of that is all the student housing that’s been constructed on the West Run corridor that’s outside the city, and the fact that we’re realizing a significant increase in

In honor of Resident Assistant Appreciation Week, members of the Student Government Association at West Virginia University hosted a forum focused on RA issues and concerns.

More than 25 people gathered in the Residential Faculty Adviser Annex on the Evansdale Campus Thursday night to discuss ways to benefit future RAs. Members of SGA and the Resident Hall Council were present to answer questions and raise discussion.

“Many resident assistants feel under-appreciated at the University,” said Gov. Ryan Campione. “We are looking right now to try and change the visitation policy. Hopefully, we should see some major changes next year.”

Campione has been working since last year to change the visitation policy on campus to allow opposite-sex overnight visitation within some residence halls. Other topics

discussed were how RAs felt they deserved a higher stipend for their work. Currently they receive $50 every two weeks.

“I feel that what we get should be much higher considering the work and time that we spend every day helping students on campus,” said Danny Sherdil, senior accounting and international business major and RA at Bennett Tower. “Many students feel that the University takes away so much money without any reimbursement.”

The issue of parking across campus and the lack of availability for RA parking without paying a fee and laundry fees were discussed.

During the meeting, SGA President Chris Lewallen said he would like RAs to attend WVU Day at the state legislature on Feb. 15.

“The conference will be dealing with the tenant-landlord bill and the towing bill,” Lewallen said.

Four students participate in national campaign to be financially literate by lydia nuzum correspondent

Four West Virginia University students are participating in a nationally sponsored campaign in an effort to educate the community and students in finance.

The program, called “Financially Literate 4 Life,” sponsored by Ally Financial, was launched on Feb. 1. The program is part of the Bateman Case Study Competition, a national case study competition held by the Public Relations Student Society of America.

Lindsay Bailey, a senior public relations major, is the team leader of the WVU campaign.

Bailey said “Financially Literate 4 Life” will hold several sessions in partnership with other community organizations to educate people on effective financial strategies.

“Each session will be run a little differently depending on who our audience is,” Bailey said.

She said the sessions will be focused on topics such as budgeting, credit and applying for loans. Bailey said the target audience for their proj-

ect includes college students, who often find themselves in debt.

“During our research we found that many college students and Morgantown community residents are intimidated by financial issues,” Bailey said.

The program is hosting five sessions in all, and students are encouraged to attend the next on-campus session, March 7 at 6 p.m. in Room 103 of Martin Hall, she said.

Martha Janeski, a senior public relations major, said the group began planning the campaign in November of last year, and they will turn in their portfolio in March.

“We’re really excited to be working with the community,” she said.

Janeski said engaging the community is the main goal of their campaign, and they intend to work with students and community members in order to gain valuable experience.

“We’re focusing on building a grassroots campaign and connecting with the community,” she said.

Stephen Sorenson, a junior pre forensic and investigative science major, performed the dance in the lion costume. He said he “worked up a sweat” while dancing for the students on campus.

“Working with the students in the Chinese Club has been a very joyful and productive experience for me,” Lin said.

“The students not only have the chance to learn and practice organization and communication skills, they also learn about Chinese traditions and gain hands-on cultural experience, which is extremely valuable for

cross-cultural understanding in today’s global village.”

The Chinese Club’s mission is to introduce and promote Chinese culture on campus at WVU and within the Morgantown community.

Kevin Tellier, a senior political science major and Chinese Club president, has been a Chinese language student under Lin for three years.

Tellier performed the dance last year and heard the performance reminded some of being back home.

“It just feels good knowing that doing this sort of thing can actually make a positive impact on people,” Tellier said.

He said this time of year is the busiest due to the club’s role in celebrating and promoting the start of the Chinese New

Year, also known as the Spring Festival.

“The best way to compare the Chinese New Year to American culture is by thinking of it as Christmas and Thanksgiving combined,” Tellier said. “In essence the new year is a time for families to come together, to start the new year fresh and to wish for luck and prosperity.”

The Morgantown community will celebrate the Lunar New Year on Saturday at the Health Science Auditorium.

The performance starts at 6 p.m.

The Chinese Club along with students in Chinese language classes will perform a Shaolin kung fu fan dance, and play a Chinese folk song. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Fletcher said the plan will aim to preserve the neighborhoods and try to balance the housing needs of students and non-student residents. He said some neighborhoods have “suffered studentification,” but there was still a market for single-family neighborhoods within city limits. He believes annexation or the expansion of Morgantown’s boundaries in some way would also likely be included in a new plan.

The development of the plan will be a citywide endeavor, but the role each department will

play is still being determined.

A consultant will also very likely be hired during the process.

“Every department will play a role in the development of the comprehensive plan; however, we are in the process of making the decisions regarding who will facilitate the effort, the utilization of outside services and Chris Fletcher’s day-to-day leadership in getting the effort taken care of,” Moore said. “We are in the process of getting that initiated as we speak.”

Lawmakers set special election dates for gov CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia would elect a governor Oct. 4 after nominating candidates in a May 14 primary, after the Legislature passed a measure Thursday setting up its timetable.

The House of Delegates unanimously approved a compromise bill that emerged from the Senate on Wednesday, also on a unanimous vote.

Acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin welcomed the measure’s final passage and intends to sign it.

“I want to commend the Legislature for coming to such a speedy resolution,” he said in a statement.

Tomblin is the Senate’s president, and so has been acting as governor under the state constitution since Nov. 15. U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin resigned as governor that day, with more than two years left in his second term, to take the seat he won in a special election last year.

The Supreme Court mandated last month that an elected governor take office within a year of Manchin’s departure. Tomblin had concluded that the next vote for governor would not be until 2012, prompting a legal challenge that resulted in the Jan.

18 ruling.

As ordered by the justices, Tomblin proclaimed a general election for Oct. 4, a Tuesday.

He then proposed legislation setting a primary for June 20, West Virginia Day. Without that measure, the Democratic, Republican and Mountain parties would instead hold conventions to nominate candidates. But Thursday’s version also moves up the primary from what Tomblin proposed and sets it on a Saturday.

The House sought the May 14 primary while also attempting to move up the general to Sept. 13. Supporters of that approach cited how the ruling called for an election “as soon as practicable.”

Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, West Virginia’s chief elections officer, advised lawmakers to approve the earlier primary by Feb. 15. That would ensure enough time for early in-person voting and military and other overseas absentee balloting, among other things, she said.

Some county clerks, who would help run the election, had pushed for a May date.

But the West Virginia Municipal League opposed a primary, Executive Director Lisa

Dooley said.

Eight local governments have already scheduled elections on differing days in May including Charleston, the state’s largest city. Another 110 are holding votes in June, with 95 of those slated for June 14, according to Tennant’s office.

“I’m worried about the municipal officials running for election,” Dooley said Thursday. “People aren’t going to come out to vote five or six times.”

Dooley also said cities and towns statewide together face around $2 million in increased costs from adding another holiday to their calendar, if they have police or fire departments. Those local governments would have to amend recently filed budgets as well, Dooley said.

Eight candidates for governor have filed as of Thursday. The Republican field features state Sen. Clark Barnes of Randolph County, former Secretary of State Betty Ireland, Putnam County prosecutor Mark Sorsaia and Delegate Patrick Lane of Kanawha County. Tomblin, Tennant and House Speaker Rick Thompson are the Democrats so far.

Jesse Johnson has filed for the Mountain Party.

Tennant, former mountaineer, officially enters crowded race for W.Va. governor FAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) — She’s overseen state elections, delivered news as a TV reporter and toted a musket as West Virginia University’s first female Mountaineer. But with only two years of experience holding a statewide office, is Secretary of State Natalie Tennant ready to be governor?

At a formal campaign announcement Thursday, she insisted fresh, creative thinking and a get-it-done attitude is exactly what West Virginia needs.

Tennant challenged skeptics to look at what she’s done as secretary of state, streamlining paperwork requirements to let businesses file online, and making West Virginia the first state to allow online voting by military service members.

She has personal experience with the obligations that military service places on a family.

Her husband, Navy reservist and state Sen. Erik Wells, DKanawha, is deploying in April for an eight-month tour of duty in Afghanistan.

“Actions speak louder than words many times,” said Tennant, a Democrat who chose as her backdrop Colasessano’s Pizza, a small business that has thrived and expanded despite the economic downturn.

“All my life ... I have risen to challenges, and I do not intend to sit on the sideline now when my state that I love needs my help,” she told a few dozen relatives, friends and supporters.

The state’s challenges, she said, include improving the public education system, making government more transparent and accountable, managing natural resources and finding ways to help small businesses grow.

Tennant was accompanied by her husband, Eric Wells, left, and her father and mother, John and Rosemary Tennant, back and right, at Colasessano’s restaurant for the announcement.

West Virginia is at a defining moment, she said, and people should consider whether they want the status quo.

“It is time to stop talking. It is time to start doing. And I believe that West Virginia needs a new kind of leadership,” she said. “I can be that leader.”

Tennant is entering a crowded field of candidates, nearly all of whom have more political experience.

The Republicans include her predecessor, Betty Ireland, Putnam County Prosecutor Mark Sorsaia, Randolph County Sen. Clark Barnes and Kanawha County Delegate Patrick Lane.

The Democrats include three longtime officeholders: House Speaker Rick Thompson, acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Treasurer John Perdue.

The Mountain Party’s Jesse Johnson is also running.

Tennant believes she can raise the money she needs and will win the primary because “ultimately, the elections are won on ideas and what you offer.”

The state Supreme Court has mandated that an elected governor take office by Nov. 15.

On Thursday, The House of Delegates sent Tomblin legislation that sets the special primary election date as May 14, and the general election for Oct. 4.

The seat became open when former Gov. Joe Manchin was elected to the U.S. Senate last fall to replace the late Sen. Robert C. Byrd.

Tennant said she won’t step aside as chief elections officer because that’s the job she was elected to do, and she’s not on the front lines like county clerks.

Obama sharpens jobs element of energy pitch STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — President Barack Obama, turning briefly to his eclipsed domestic agenda Thursday, called on the nation’s businesses to make fresh investments in clean energy technology and lay a foundation for long-term American prosperity.

He proposed a new tax credit and other measures to encourage businesses to retrofit their plants and reduce costs – steps that he said would save $40 billion a year in utility bills. The visit to the Pennsylvania State University campus was designed to highlight Obama’s emphasis on energy and his view that technological innovations represent jobs of the future.

“Making our buildings more energy efficient is one of the fastest, easiest and cheapest ways to save money, combat pollution and create jobs,” the president said, taking his retooled economic pitch to the heart of Pennsylvania, a prominent state in presidential politics that will be a key in his 2012 re-election bid.

Obama has wanted to feature his long-term economic plans ever since he detailed them in his State of the Union speech to a joint session of Congress last week. The State College trip was the third in a series of visits to energy-related enterprises in as many weeks.

But the trip comes as the crisis in Egypt has dominated his time and consumed media attention. Obama is trying to press on with his economic ideas, ahead of the release of his budget plan on Feb. 14, while he manages his response to the violent clashes that have Egypt and the Mideast on the edge.

Earlier in the day, Obama addressed the continuing violence during remarks at a prayer breakfast in Washington. But he made no mention of the Egyptian turmoil in his Penn State remarks, deviating from his subject only to acknowledge Penn State’s football tradition and the coming Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

President Barack Obama is greeted upon his arrival at University Park Airport, in State College, Pa., Thursday.

He twice mentioned Joe Paterno, the locally beloved 84-year-old coach of the Penn State football team, who was in the audience.

Speaking directly to a youthful audience, Obama said: “What you’re going to do is lead a modern day incubator for what sets us apart, the greatest force that the world has ever known and that is the American idea.”

As part of his new plan, Obama will ask Congress to provide companies with a tax credit that financially rewards them for retrofitting their buildings in ways that decrease energy usage. The proposal would alter the existing tax break for such commercial upgrades, switching it from a deduction to a credit that applies more widely, administration officials said.

The energy efficiency plan is an extension of Obama’s call last year to give government rebates for home retrofitting, a proposal that has stalled in the Senate.

The White House said former President Clinton and General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt will lead the effort to reach out to businesses to take advantage of the government efficiency incentives. Obama recently named Immelt to head an advisory council on entrepreneurship.

Before making his remarks in Penn State’s Rec Hall, Obama received a tutorial on energy research designed to improve indoor air quality and another on

high performance wall systems, donning safety goggles for one experiment. “My fifth grade science experiment looked just like this,” Obama joked to reporters at one point.

Rob Gleason, chairman of Pennsylvania’s Republican party, said Obama’s visit is a sign that the 2012 campaign is in full swing.

In a Thursday morning conference call, Gleason questioned whether Obama’s energy policy could be trusted and criticized what he called the administration’s “runaway spending” and hostile position toward industry.

The president is also calling for: • Broader access to financing for businesses that want to make energy-saving upgrades, and loan guarantees for hospitals, schools and companies to do the same.

• Competitive grants for states and local governments that make it easier for companies to upgrade their buildings.

• More training for workers in the field of commercial building technology.

The White House said it is targeting the commercial sector because its buildings consume roughly 20 percent of all energy in the U.S. economy. Administration officials offered no details on how much Obama’s plan would cost. They said those details will be released in the budget and the proposed elimination of oil industry subsidies would help cover the costs.

Las Vegas judge’s son arrested in $1.5 million Bellagio hotel-casino heist LAS VEGAS (AP) — The security footage of the man in a motorcycle helmet and a gun, dashing into a posh Las Vegas Strip casino and making off with $1.5 million in chips, went viral on the Internet. Now, after nearly two months, police believe they have their man – a former real estate broker who went bankrupt in 2009 and is related to a Sin City judge.

Anthony M. Carleo, 29, was arrested early Thursday after police accused him of being the bandit who grabbed the chips in the Dec. 14 brazen heist at the Bellagio hotel-casino. Police had said they believed the same man robbed the Suncoast casino in northwest Las Vegas early Dec. 8.

“It goes without saying that as a father, I am devastated and heartbroken to see my son arrested under these circumstances, as is the rest of his family,” Las Vegas Municipal Court Judge George Assad said in a statement released through a publicist.

Assad said that as a working judge, he couldn’t comment about “any pending legal matter as it relates to anyone, including my son.”

“I can say that as a prosecutor and a judge, I have always felt people who break the law need to be held accountable,” he said.

Carleo was arrested at the

Bellagio as part of an undercover police investigation, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press. The person declined to be named because he was not authorized to publicly provide details about the case.

Police spokesman Bill Cassell refused to give further details on the arrest besides saying it happened in Las Vegas.

It was not immediately clear whether Carleo had a lawyer.

Court records showed Carleo filed for bankruptcy in Colorado in May 2009, listing among his personal belongings a .40-caliber Taurus pistol.

The bankruptcy filing said Carleo received at least $19,000 from his father over a three year period, but owed nearly $188,000 in various debts. The case was closed seven months later, and a lawyer from the firm that represented him then said Thursday that they are not representing him now.

Voting records in 2010 showed that Carleo lived at the same address with as his father in Las Vegas.

Jail records showed Carleo in custody under another

name, Anthony M. Assad. The name was also used in Carleo’s bankruptcy filing.

Bail was set at $15,000 for Carleo on felony armed robbery and burglary charges.

Court spokeswoman Mary Ann Price said he would make an initial appearance in court Monday.

Carleo will not be required to appear when a judge reviews the charges on Friday, Price said.

Police said Carleo was also suspected of trafficking a controlled substance, but booking records did not reflect that charge.

Stealing $1.5 million in chips isn’t like stealing $1.5 million, experts and police pointed out at the time of the robbery. Chips are unique to casino properties and are generally not interchangeable, although state regulations let casino companies redeem sister properties’ chips with some restrictions.

After the heist, Bellagio announced plans to discontinue the casino’s $25,000 chips in April, setting a deadline for the thief to try to use them. g in s! ok rtie Bo Pa ow e N vat i Pr

Bitter cold, destruction hit Midwest in wake of mammoth winter storm CHICAGO (AP) — A mammoth winter storm left dangerously slick roads and frigid Midwestern temperatures in its frozen footprint Thursday, a day after crushing snow-laden buildings in the Northeast.

Three people were killed when the pickup truck they were in drove off a snow-covered Oklahoma interstate and plunged 80 feet into an icy river.

Wind chills dipped to nearly 30 below in parts of the nation’s midsection as the region began dealing with the storm’s aftermath.

Chicago Mayor Richard Daley spoke publicly for the first time to defend his city’s handling of the storm, which stranded hundreds of motorists in whiteout conditions on the famous Lake Shore Drive.

In a city known for punishing politicians for winter weakness, the retiring Daley said when pressed that he wouldn’t have handled anything differently and that workers responded well.

“Yes, they did ... They did a very, very good job,” Daley said.

Lake Shore reopened before dawn Thursday.

Criticism of the city’s response to a 1979 blizzard played a major role in Mayor Michael Bilandic’s defeat.

The sprawling system unloaded as much as 2 feet of snow across its 2,000-mile path, crippling airports and stranding drivers from Texas to South Dakota, where authorities rescued some motorists from more than 150 vehicles that had become trapped overnight after high winds sent fallen snow drifting onto an interstate in the northeast part of the state. Icy roads were blamed for a 15-vehicle chainreaction crash in southeastern Louisiana that resulted in a few minor injuries.

Even the sunny Southwest wasn’t spared: Freezing temperatures delayed Thursday’s opening round of the Phoenix Open in Scottsdale, Ariz., and led to school closures in parts

of New Mexico.

A two-man crew looking for trouble spots along New Mexico’s snowpacked U.S. 54 rescued a family of four who had been stranded in their upside down car for up to an hour in a 30-foot ravine.

Authorities in northeast Oklahoma said the pickup truck that drove into the Spring River on Thursday jumped a guard rail on Interstate 44 shortly before dawn while carrying eight people.

The vehicle became partially submerged, and harsh weather made rescue attempts difficult.

“The ground temperature was 11 degrees below zero, so it would take only a second to become hypothermic in this water and ice,” said Lt. George Brown, a spokesman for the Oklahoma Highway Department.

The week’s storm had rendered the interstate impassable earlier in the week and the lane in which the pickup was driving had not reopened until late Wednesday.

Shoppers shook off the January snow to continue to buy, stores say

NEW YORK (AP) — Americans didn’t stop splurging after the holidays.

They braved snowstorms and shopped in force in January, handing retailers like Costco, Victoria’s Secret and Macy’s surprisingly strong sales.

Along with two encouraging economic reports – the biggest service sector expansion in five years and a plunge in weekly unemployment claims – the sales figures offered more evidence Thursday that the economic recovery is picking up speed.

“It’s one more piece of the economic puzzle that’s falling in place,” said Michael P. Niemira, chief economist at the International Council of Shopping Centers.

Consumer spending has been improving for more than a year now, and this holiday season was the strongest for stores since 2006, before the Great Recession, according to the council. Sales figures for January showed that shoppers weren’t spent out after Christmas.

The council’s index of 32 stores showed a robust 4.8

percent increase for the month, well above the expected 1.5 to 2 percent. Analysts were worried that snowstorm after snowstorm, particularly in the Northeast, might have kept shoppers at home.

The figures cover Jan. 2 through Saturday for stores that have been open at least a year.

Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, so how shoppers behave is an important measure of economic health. The next question is whether they will shell out full price for spring items, which are starting to show up in stores. There’s no special oc-

casion to spur spending after Valentine’s Day until Easter, which this year falls on April 24, three weeks later than in 2010.

Rising gas prices and other household costs could squeeze lower- to middle-class shoppers. The next few months could be a “long spring thaw,” said John Morris, an analysts for BMO Capital Markets.

Niemira said he believes a better job market could offset the higher prices, though.

The next read on employment comes Friday, when the Labor Department reports on job gains or losses for January.

The unemployment rate is 9.4 percent.

Flooding the market does not increase jobs Marshall University is in the process of opening a pharmacy program, which causes concern for officials at the University of Charleston and West Virginia University.

If the school meets the accreditation requirements it will become the third pharmacy school in the state, alongside UC and WVU. Some worry the new program, which is set to open in 2012, will saturate the markets and lead to similar problems

that exist among law schools in the country – too many students graduating and moving into a job market that is unable to compensate for their accumulated school loans.

MU should add other programs that won’t have negative affects on the job market.

“We’ve increased the number of schools so dramatically over the past 10 years, we’re concerned about the quality of students coming in, and the decrease of available clinic

sites,” said Patricia A. Chase, the dean of the WVU School of Pharmacy. “And the shortage of faculty is just terrible.”

Since 2009, WVU has increased the number of students admitted by 18 percent, and graduated 82 students in 2010.

The surrounding states have also increased the number of pharmacy schools with six accredited schools in Ohio, four in Pennsylvania, four in Virginia and two in Kentucky, according to the Charleston

Gazette.

MU President Stephen Kopp said he has the needs of community and state in mind, but what will happen to the students after graduation?

If the job market is flooded with pharmacists who can’t find work to pay school loans, they will be left out in the cold.

Though some have found employment, there are still a great many who have not.

Also, if the other schools have already increased the

number of enrolled students, the possibility of a lower acceptance standard will likely follow. Not everyone can meet the requirements.

Increasing the number of professionals in a field will not increase the demand; it will only make matters worse.

The educational institutions of the state must work together to improve job opportunities everywhere. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

People should recognize when their work is being usurped chelsea fuller Opinion Editor

College teaches people that to achieve your goals, you have to stay a step ahead of the competition.

When looking from the outside in, one might never know college communities can be very vicious places that act as breeding grounds for both positive and negative competitiveness.

Regardless of position or status, everyone in a college community has similar goals: To advance themselves and/or those they advocate.

Unfortunately, the desire for advancement can unearth some unsavory characteristics in people. When it comes to ensuring goals are met and perceptions are what the individual wants them to be, the phrase “by any means necessary” is often misused.

In 1965, Malcolm X brought the phrase into popular culture when he said “we declare our right on this earth... to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.”

It does not say anywhere in this statement, “Get to the top no matter who you have to steal from or step on.”

Using that philosophy out of context can be hazardous, especially when it is being used to validate taking undeserved credit for someone else’s work

and ideas.

People have to put themselves in positions where they can realize when someone is trying to take credit for their work and it can be prevented.

This is a touchy and difficult topic, but it happens all the time to students, faculty and staff on college campuses because of the environment.

New and proactive concepts, models, proposals and other innovative ideas are created on campuses daily.

Unlike plagiarism, it can be difficult to identify or prove someone is taking credit for things they didn’t do. I have talked to some people who did not realize someone had taken credit for their work until it was too late, because they did not pick up on any warning signs. Identifying people who desire to pass the work of others off as their own is the first step.

This is sometimes easier said than done; however, there are some simple steps people can take to recognize when their work or ideas are being used by other people without their consent.

Never tell anyone you don’t know or trust everything you are thinking in regards to a project, event, program or initiative.

Many times people do not come into situations with the intention to steal or use someone else’s idea, but hearing others divulge great ideas might encourage someone to take or accomplish it first, which is just as dishonest.

When working in groups, make s u re everyone contributes.

This happens too often with

students and people who are required to collaborate with colleagues for work. Make sure everyone is contributing to brainstorming and to the actual work. This will minimize anyone’s ability to take full credit.

If someone has a reputation of being dishonest or taking credit they don’t deserve, do not work with or around them.

Everyone has at least heard of someone who is notorious for waiting until all the work is done and then trying to swoop

in and take the credit. Without the ideas and work of others, these kinds of people can’t succeed. So staying away and refusing to work with them will cause them to dig their own graves.

Accurately document anything you are planning to submit or make public.

If you have been working on something valuable, like a book idea, scientific research, theories, patents or event ideas, make sure you keep accurate, up-to-date notes on every aspect of the planning

and execution. This way, if someone tries to usurp your work and you find out, you can challenge it by providing indepth details the other party won’t have.

Be mindful there are jealous and spiteful people everywhere.

Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect society where all citizens are happy and proud of the success of our peers. No matter how good of a person you try to be, and regardless of how hard you work, there will always be oth-

ers who are envious of your success. These kinds of people will try to hinder the advancement of others in any way possible, even if they have to take credit for work they didn’t do.

Being aware of this does not mean everyone should be paranoid someone is out to get them. However, it should teach people that everyone you meet cannot be considered a trusted ally.

Keeping that in mind can help those who might be vulnerable to escape being taken advantage of .

Oscar nominating committee must drop the uniform homogeneity Eva Mckend the phoenix uwire

When marginalized people lament the lack of diversity on the big screen, a common, though patronizing, retort is they need not seek validation from the entertainment industry.

Hollywood is about as quintessentially American as football. It is a staple of our culture, and if people of color are not represented, they might as well not exist.

Although some might have been hopeful after the Academy Awards last year, when Mo’Nique took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “Precious” and Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to win Best Director for the “The Hurt Locker,” others were rightfully trepidatious.

While it was exciting to see Mo’Nique recognized, one must wonder why it took such a dark role for her to earn the accolade.

The problem with the Hollywood machine is that it continues to typecast people of color. This is evident in the midseason replacement “Harry’s Law” by the wildly popular David E. Kelley.

While the show has endearing qualities and witty writing, the supporting characters of color reify negative stereotypes of drug addiction, poverty and helplessness.

Kelley is a liberal and one of the best writers and producers in television.

But even if he, at times, misses the sociocultural mark, the implications for less prudent storytellers are harrowing.

I only wonder if the gag about “a black man falling from the roof ” would have made it into the script had there been more voices of color at the table.

In an interview with “Complex” magazine, Michael B. Jordan (“The Wire,” “Friday Night Lights”), by far the most promising star of my generation, reflected on the challenges of being a young black actor in a white dominated in-

dustry. “There are still a lot of white writers writing for black people, and there’s always going to be a lot of stuff lost in translation,” he said.

The 23-year-old acknowledged he felt a responsibility to speak out against mischaracterizations, especially in a business that relegates black talent to a “crab-in-a-barrel mentality.”

In response to the heavy criticism The Academy will receive throughout this award season for what many are deeming “the whitest Oscars in a decade,” we will hear the age-old excuse that there was merely not enough talent of color to chose from.

Filmmaker Ava DuVernay, who was cited in several recent articles about the lack of diversity, recently formed the African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement, a campaign to widen the distribution of black films.

Her efforts and her mission are compulsory in a field that treats people of color as if they are invisible.

However, one must wonder how long African Americans

will have to rely on their own mediums. In a society where all races coexist, black people should not be limited to black media.

Alicia Niwagaba argues that people of color don’t generally receive roles that would garner them critical praise.

She cites her frustration with films like “The Social Network” (nominated for eight Academy Awards) which cast a white actor to play an Indian man. “I have a hard time believing there was not one Indian actor who fit that role.

It was a small part, but it just exemplifies what is wrong with casting and the film industry.”

Ultimately, Niwagaba maintains it is a numbers game.

“Studios don’t think audiences want to see films with minorities or strong women, so films about white people (especially men) are disproportionately funded and supported.”

The few times people of color were celebrated in the past were what DuVernay described as anomalies.

“People of color do not receive awards unless we are de-

grading ourselves and playing downtrodden characters,” Niwagaba said. “We are always represented as the other, something to be pitied, never triumphant and never strong.

It just shows you what kind of narrative Hollywood wants to maintain.”

Tanya Hamilton, a black Philadelphia director who showed her exemplary film “Night Catches Us” on Tuesday, said more black talent need the opportunity to “fill in the empty center, melding art and commerce.”

There are few films with strong artistic vision that can also be profitable. More filmmakers of color should be given the chance to fill that void.

Some might ask why we should care about what is going on in the lavish likes of Hollyweird at a time when many Americans are fighting to keep their jobs.

As Marie Wilson, President of the White House Project, said in the trailer for “Miss Representation,” a new documentary about the portrayal of women in the media, “You

can’t be what you can’t see.”

The media is the most powerful tool of dissemination in the world, and America dominates the message.

It is not unusual to travel to another country and find an entire evening (line up) of programming of American shows, or travel to a local theater and find only American films.

The diversity we represent in America will be the diversity illustrated around the world.

If The Academy continues to ostracize and marginalize certain voices, they will make themselves an irrelevant program.

We don’t have to look any further than the Miss America pageant to see that viewers can easily outgrow award ceremonies if they lose touch with reality.

However, industry power players are equally responsible. People of color and women need a platform within mainstream spaces to showcase their array of talent, and when they do so they should be similarly celebrated for their work.

BRIAN KUPPELWEISER SPORTS WRITER

I’m sold on WVU’s new assistants

The last couple months have been hectic for the West Virginia football program.

There is little doubt about that.

First came the coaching changes that shook Morgantown, as West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck made the move to hire Dana Holgorsen as offensive coordinator in 2011 and head coach-in-waiting for the 2012 season. He will take over for current head coach Bill Stewart then, who will leave following next season.

Then, the Mountaineers put on an uninspired performance in the Champs Sports Bowl against N.C. State, which would end in a 23-7 loss to the Wolfpack. That loss ended what was a dominating year for the WVU defense and a disappointing one for the Mountaineers’ offense.

Quickly after WVU’s bowl game, new offensive assistants were brought in at Holgorsen’s discretion. He had $2 million to spend on these new hires.

Most recently, the new offensive coaching staff completed its recruiting run to National Letter of Intent Day, and finally, the coaches are beginning their preparations for the 2011 season.

The media met with Holgorsen and his offensive assistants for the first time since their hiring Wednesday and Thursday, and, let me tell you, it was something to behold.

Running backs coach Robert Gillespie, inside receivers coach Shannon Dawson, offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh and Holgorsen are a band of brothers this program dearly needed and will undoubtedly require in the upcoming season.

The coaches seemed to have a bond akin to four old college buddies who were getting back together after a good amount of time spent apart.

The new quartet of coaches brought something to the table the previous staff had not.

Simply put, they were on the same page.

There was no doubt Holgorsen was the leader of the bunch.

There certainly was not the odd vibe that hung in the air during last season, and, most importantly, there was no split over the philosophy of the team.

This year, each assistant took his respective job knowing full well the coaching situation at WVU was awkward because of the fact Stewart and the defensive staff would holdover for the 2011 season.

However, that was the least of the new assistants’ worries.

These men want to do what could not be accomplished last season, and that is to return the Mountaineers’ offense to its spot among the nation’s elite.

No longer is it acceptable to just do enough to get by. The goal is more than just a Big East Conference championship now.

This staff will ask its studentathletes to push the envelope for the entire 60 minutes on offense.

Dawson, who’s assignment is to coach the inside receivers, may have been the shining star of the day on Thursday, as he spoke glowingly about his admiration for this offense and what to expect next season from the Mountaineers.

“I would not want to coach in any other offense, and I would not have it any other way,” Dawson said. “On a regular day, with our tempo, we are going to run 85-90 plays per game.”

It may be just a simple quote, but it is a refreshing signal of the unity of this offensive staff – and the high expectations it has for what’s to come.

Expect the energy and liveliness of years past to make a quick return to Mountaineer Field on Saturday afternoons this fall.

This group is here to not only walk away victorious but also to do it in a fashion never before seen at WVU. brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

WVU battles Villanova in Big East clash

The West Virginia men’s basketball team found themselves at the bottom of the Big East Conference standings two games into the conference season.

Shortly thereafter, the Mountaineers suffered an embarrassing loss to instate rival Marshall and lost leading scorer Casey Mitchell to suspension and center Dan Jennings, who quit the season.

The team, however, has done everything in its power to turn its troubles into a solid stretch of basketball, which included two-straight wins over Cincinnati and Seton Hall and a near upset of No. 19 Louisville on the road.

“Some stuff that you think may be bad, or is a negative, can become a positive,” said forward Deniz

No. 12 Villanova (18-4, 6-3)

Scouting the Wildcats – When the Wildcats score 70 or more points this season, they are 16-0. In turn, when the team scores under 70, it is 2-4 overall.

– Guard Corey Stokes has been slowed by a foot injury in recent games, but despite the injury, the senior still continues to be a threat from behind the arc as he is converting at a 41 percent clip (64 for 156).

– Villanova was dominant on the boards in the early part of the season, but in recent weeks have tailed off a bit. The Wildcats, though, still rank No. 26 in the nation in rebounding margin.

Mountaineers, Panthers set for ‘Pink Zone’ game

By John Terry Multimedia Editor

Pittsburgh has yet to defeat a West Virginia team in Morgantown this year.

The No. 14 West Virginia women’s basketball team will try to continue its winning streak when it hosts the Panthers on Saturday at 4 p.m. at the WVU Coliseum.

“No matter what sport it is – football, basketball or tiddlywinks, it always comes down to a brawl,” said Pittsburgh head coach Agnus Berenato. “It’s no secret that between the Pittsburghers and the West Virginians, there’s not a lot of love loss there.”

Pittsburgh (10-11, 2-6 Big East Conference) has struggled this season and will have to go up against a West Virginia (20-3, 6-3 Big East Conference) team that is coming off a 59-45 home win over Providence.

Even though his team won against the Friars to end a twogame losing streak, West Virginia head coach Mike Carey hopes his team will continue to get back on track.

“The Providence game was a gut check for us,” Carey said.

“We didn’t play great, but we played well enough to win the

game. Hopefully, we can regroup and have a pretty good season.”

Carey said despite its slow start, Pittsburgh has begun to pick up momentum and is not a team to take lightly.

The Panthers held a secondhalf lead when they played at Connecticut on Jan. 22, lost to a ranked Syracuse team by just nine on the road, fell to Marquette in overtime on Jan. 29, and defeated Cincinnati 79-48 Tuesday.

“They are starting to show signs of getting better,” Carey said. “They have a lot of talent, and they play hard. We’re going to have to play better than what we’ve been playing.”

Pittsburgh enters Saturday’s game with four players averaging double-figure scoring.

Jania Sims, who became the fifth player under Berenato to become a 1,000-point scorer against Cincinnati, leads the team scoring an average 13.7 points per game.

Taneisha Harrison is scoring 13.6 points per game, while forward Chelsea Cole is scoring 10 points per game to go along with 9.8 rebounds.

Carey said it will be

Read Monday’s edition for a full recap of the game and additional information about the Mountaineers’ game next week vs. Connecticut.

Scouting the Panthers – Pittsburgh has won just two games since Jan. 1. It is coming off a 79-48 win against Cincinnati where senior Jania Sims became the 17th player in school history to score at least 1,000 points.

– West Virginia owns a 23-18 advantage in the Backyard Brawl, and a 23-9 advantage since 1983. Pittsburgh has won in Morgantown just twice since 1983. The Mountaineers have won the last two contests.

– West Virginia is averaging 18.3 turnovers per game. The Mountaineers have had more turnovers than assists in nine of their last 10 games, and have yet to have a Big East contest where assists have exceeded turnovers.

Pink Zone West Virginia fans are encouraged to wear pink to Saturday’s game vs. Pitt to support breast cancer awareness. The Mountaineers will wear pink uniforms for the cause.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Tonight: A late dinner or get-together.

BORN TODAY Focus on security this year. Security comes in many different forms. For many it is money; for others, it is emotional; still, many people find it through spirituality or religion – but for most people, it is a combination. As you determine what you need, you will start growing. As you explore your options, you will enhance your immediate circle of friends. If you are single, as a result, you will attract a new type of suitor. Recognize that you are in the process of growth.

The person you choose now might not be the same in a few years. If you are attached, you and your sweetie will be talking more openly. PISCES has a very different sense of what is acceptable than you.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Your ability to relate makes all the difference when dealing with others. You think in terms of gains within a partnership. Stretch and look at the big picture.

Your drive and follow-through make all the difference in seeking out new ideas.

Tonight: Try a new spot.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Understand what is happening within your immediate circle. You can instrument change, even today, as long as you are willing not to be in the limelight. Don’t think someone isn’t noticing the quality effort you put in. Tonight: Vanish into your weekend.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Prioritize, especially as you have many people who are unusually motivated and are willing to pitch in. Your ability to accept different ideas helps you update some more-dated ideas. Tonight: Count on a late night.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Others eye your actions. Someone might leave some work for you to finish up for him or her. Fortunately, being energized, you quickly clear through work right now.

A partner adapts his or her plans to you.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Deal with associates, friends and family directly.

You might need to revise your thinking about an investment. You can see beyond the normal scope of possibilities because of a conversation. Honor another’s privacy. Tonight: Togetherness works.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You might have some very strong opinions about a personal matter. Another party involved also has a strong opinion, but one that differs from yours quite a bit. If you look at a solution as opposed to having your way, an answer will emerge. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You might want to revise your opinion about a personal matter. Not everything is occurring as you might like. You can resist change and upset yourself and others, or you can go with the flow. Note your innate tendencies before deciding. You will be able to make a stronger decision then.

Tonight: Run errands on the way home.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Where others run into a brick wall, you come up with a solution. It might be difficult to immediately answer a request that could involve a change of plans.

Your drive and organization is profound.

Sometimes changing directions is difficult. Tonight: Lighten up. TGIF. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Pressure builds. You might ask yourself what you can do to alleviate some of the tension. Could you be making some judgments that are causing you a problem?

Try to relax and work with a different way of prioritizing. Tonight: Treat yourself.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Your words have an impact. You could be taken aback by the reactions of others. You have strong opinions about finances, and are unlikely to change them.

You might be best off forging out on your own, rather than waste time explaining your thoughts. Tonight: Join a friend.

Catch up on his or her news.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Take a back seat, but be aware of the costs. You might want to do something very differently from others around you. Listen, consider and express your feelings. However, do be ready to forge out on your own. Understand your goals completely.

Tonight: Indulge and relax.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might want to understand what is happening behind the scenes. If you don’t, you could have some anger to deal with. Understand your own sensitivities, and you will move forward and not regret your choices. Tonight: A friend surprises you.

tennis

Mountaineers want to end skid

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

file photo

A West Virginia rifle team member practices last semester. The Mountaineers face Kentucky and Cleveland State this weekend.

After getting off to a rough start this season, the West Virginia tennis team is not giving up hope.

“The beauty of tennis is, essentially, these matches don’t mean much,” said first-year head coach Tina Samara. “We can lose to every team in our conference in the regular season, then turn around and win the Big East (Conference) Tournament.

“We would like to be winning these matches now, but it’s important that we stay focused and continue to improve.”

The Mountaineers, who are 1-4 so far this season, will host in-state rival Marshall this

weekend.

The Thundering Herd is 5-1 this season, with their lone loss coming against No. 19 Vanderbilt.

The Mountaineers will host Marshall at 2 p.m. Saturday.

“It’s going to be tough to turn around the season against the best team on our schedule,” Samara said. “We just have to stay focused and play hard. The changes don’t come overnight, and we cannot get discouraged right now.”

Samara said it is important for the team to realize, although they’re off to a shaky start, the season is far from over.

“I think some of the team is getting discouraged because these improvements aren’t

happening fast,” she said. “We have a long way to go, but this team still has the ability to hang with the top teams. We just have to stay focused and improve. Come tournament time, we will be a different team.”

The team will continue to work hard all year to ensure a good showing in the conference tournament, according to Samara.

“We might be tired or we might be sore,” she said. “It is just important to keep up our hard work. I have all the confidence in the world for this group. We have to just compete harder, work harder and practice harder.” derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

No. 1 Mountaineers compete for undefeated conference slate Izzo-Brown, LeBlanc sign additional soccer

by brad joyal sports writer

Competing on consecutive days takes a toll on a team over the course of the season.

But the No. 1 West Virginia rifle team will shoot for the last time on back-to-back days this season over the weekend.

Last semester the Mountaineers (8-1, 5-0 Great American Rifle Conference) competed on consecutive days, against Memphis and Murray State along with Ole Miss and Army in two-straight weekends. The team went 4-0 through that stretch and hopes it can end the regular season with the same results.

“It’s definitely a little strenuous,” said WVU head coach Jon Hammond. “Shooting two matches on back-to-back days is always difficult, but it’s the only time we’ll have to do it this semester. It’s great to experience it though, for the mental side of competing.”

West Virginia will try to finish the regular season with an unblemished GARC record for the second-consecutive

season and can do so against Kentucky on Saturday.

The Mountaineers accomplished that feat last season, finishing the regular season 11-0 with a 7-0 record in the conference. The two teams have some history, dating back to 2009 when West Virginia defeated Kentucky 4,643-4,638 to capture a nation-best 14th national title.

In last season’s GARC Championships, the Mountaineers topped then-ranked No. 3 Kentucky 4,653-4,645 to capture the conference crown.

“This is the conference decider,” Hammond said. “They are one of our biggest competitors year in and year out, there’s definitely an added incentive when we face a competitor as strong as Kentucky.”

The Mountaineers will close out the regular season on Sunday against Columbus State, before a NCAA qualifying match against Nebraska, which WVU beat 4656-4592 on Nov. 21, next weekend.

This semester has brought an emergence from sophomore Petra Zublasing, who

football

transferred to the program from Appiano, Italy. With the team’s only loss coming without the services of Zublasing and senior Nicco Campriani, Hammond is happy to see his full team competing on a weekly basis.

“We have definitely improved since last semester,” Hammond said. “Having Petra in makes a tremendous difference with the way she has been shooting. To have a full team competing and having good results is as much as I could ask for at this point.”

With their final tune-up before the postseason, the Mountaineers will have the luxury of experiencing competing on back-to-back days one more time. Although the finish line is in site, Hammond feels his team’s best is still to come.

“There are still a few things to work on,” Hammond said.

“I don’t think anyone has hit full stride yet, but this is another opportunity to keep improving and get better.” brad.joyal@mail.wvu.edu

6 Mountaineers invited to NFL Combine Six former West Virginia football players have been invited to the 2011 NFL Combine.

Running back Noel Devine, cornerback Brandon Hogan, nose tackle Chris Neild, receiver Jock Sanders, safety Robert Sands and linebacker J.T. Thomas will make the trip to Indianapolis Feb. 23 through March 1 to train for NFL scouts in an attempt to be drafted this year.

Sands is likely the first player for the Mountaineers to go in the draft. He is the No. 8 safety, according to draftcountdown. com. Devine is also the eighthbest running back.

Devine, Sanders and Neild competed last weekend in the Senior Bowl. Devine scored a touchdown for the South squad.

He finished with seven carries and 8 yards. He also caught a screen pass for 12 yards.

Sanders had one catch for 7 yards, but also dropped a pass.

Neild had two tackles despite playing in a four-down front defense, which doesn’t necessarily suit the nose tackle.

Other Mountaineer players looking to make the pros will work out for NFL scouts at the team’s pro day later in the year.

WVU focuses on a road win this weekend at Penn State

by Sebouh Majarian Sports Writer

After bouncing back with conference wins over Pittsburgh and Rutgers, the West Virginia gymnastics team looks to do something it hasn’t done yet this year.

Win on the road.

The Mountaineers (4-2, 2-1 East Atlantic Gymnastics League) will head to Penn State to face the Nittany Lions (2-4), Bridgeport (3-2) and Pittsburgh (2-3, 0-3) once again.

Are the Mountaineers lacking focus on the road this season?

“I hope not,” said WVU head coach Linda BurdetteGood. “It’s something we can work on, but I think they’re going to be very much focused (this weekend).”

The Mountaineers have only competed away from the WVU Coliseum three times.

One meet, a win over Michigan State, was at a neutral site in Cancun, Mexico. The other two were road losses to No. 5 Georgia and No. 10 N.C. State in hostile environments.

“We’re just struggling to score,” Carey said. “When you’re not scoring points, all

need to stay in the zone, as the rough road environments won’t get any easier when they step into Rec Hall at Penn State.

“The fans (at Penn State) are very knowledgeable, and they do lots of cheering, and if they don’t like what their team scores, they will boo the judges, not the competitors,” Burdette-Good said.

“We stressed that to the girls, because sometimes it gets distracting.”

The Mountaineers fell out of the top-20 rankings but still remain ranked No. 24 nationally in vault (48.645) and No. 16 on floor (48.755).

“Whether they’re performing it, watching other teams or watching it on TV,” Burdette-Good said. “As a whole, this team really enjoys participating and being a part of gymnastics.”

Senior Amy Bieski and sophomore Kaylyn Millick each scored 38.425 points, tying for second-place overall this weekend. Millick set a career high on floor scoring a 9.9, while recording 9.7 points on vault and the uneven bars.

Freshman Hope Sloanhof-

fer continued to collect league honors, as she earned the EAGL Specialist of the Week.

It’s the sixth EAGL honor this year for the Cornwall, N.Y., native.

Sloanhoffer, the league’s No. 1 vaulter, is coming off a performance that got her a 9.8 on vault and beam, and a career-high 9.875 on floor.

Bieski passed TeShawne Jackson for 11th place on the program’s career point total list. The Nanticoke, Pa., native has 1,668.2 points in her career, and trails Shannon Migli by 12.725.

“She’s been really easy to coach, but she’s been that way since she got here,” BurdetteGood said.

“She always wants to get better, and that helps your coaching, when you have an athlete that’s receptive.”

The Mountaineers look to continue their dominance over the Panthers, as they hold a 50-12-2 all-time series lead. WVU earned a 194.075189.025 win over the Panthers last Saturday at the WVU Coliseum.

the other phases have to be great to win in this league.”

For West Virginia, that means cutting down on turnovers and rebounding on the defensive end of the court – something it has struggled with as of late.

The Mountaineers held just a one-rebound advantage against Providence after giving up 12 offensive rebounds.

In its two-game losing streak to Georgetown and DePaul,

the Mountaineers were outrebounded in both games, as well.

West Virginia is averaging 18.3 turnovers per game, a number Carey said he would like to be between 13 and 15.

The Mountaineers have had more turnovers than assists in nine of their last 10 games, and have yet to have a Big East contest where assists have exceeded turnovers.

on our schedule.

“Whether it’s Michigan State, Illinois, Clarion, Lock Haven or Pitt, we’re ready and mentally focused for whoever we’re going up against.”

Last season, the Mountaineers fell to Pitt 19-15 in the WVU Coliseum, and West Virginia has not defeated the Panthers since Feb. 2, 2007, when it beat Pitt 18-16.

The Panthers carry an eightmatch EWL winning streak into tonight’s contest, and said the atmosphere of the Fitzgerald Field House will make that run hard to end.

“It’s going to be hostile,” he said. “This match has a lot riding on it, and they always get a good crowd when they face us. It really is always a good wrestling match when both of these teams come together.”

West Virginia head wrestling coach Craig Turnbull may want his wrestlers to treat tonight’s Backyard Brawl matchup against Pitt as just another match.

But, there’s much more riding on the meet than just bragging rights.

WVU will take on the No. 23 Panthers tonight at 7. Both teams currently sit atop the Eastern Wrestling League standings with undefeated conference records.

The Mountaineers are 6-2 overall and 3-0 in the EWL, while Pitt is 9-6 and 2-0.

“I mentioned (the importance of the rivalry) to them earlier in the week,” Turnbull said. “But we want to take each match just like it’s the next one

The West Virginia Athletic Department has made some changes to its traffic patterns for Monday’s WVU men’s basketball game against Pittsburgh.

Starting with the Pitt game, a dedicated lane into the Coliseum for traffic coming off Interstate 79 and up Monongahela Blvd., from Star City, will start at Saratoga Ave. Once in the dedicated lane, traffic will have three opportunities to enter the Coliseum parking lots.

The game with the Panthers, which will start at 7 p.m. and televised on ESPN’s Big Monday, is a sellout.

eers to earn the top spot in the league, Turnbull says his squad will just have to keep wrestling as it has all season.

The veteran head coach said he sees potential in young standouts such as Shane Young, Nathan Pennesi and Michael Morales, who have helped WVU jump out to fast starts all season.

That early momentum has been a catalyst throughout the lineup.

“I’m not going to say this is one of the most complete lineups we’ve ever had, but they have done a great job thus far,” Turnbull said. “We have a nice blend of young guys and veterans, and if they keep wrestling well through the lineup, we will continue to compete at a high level.”

“Everyone is clicking, and nobody is quitting.”

Thoroughman says many of his teammates are savoring the opportunity they have, despite the fact the team has just eight healthy scholarship players.

The Mountaineers were once 14th in the Big East Conference standings, but now find themselves tied for second with a 6-3 league mark.

“We are really taking pride in our situation right now,” Throughman said. “We have really bought into (head coach Bob Huggins’) plan.”

Huggins has said the difference in the team’s turnaround has been its defensive play.

The Mountaineers have allowed an average of 50 points in their last four games.

Wednesday against Seton Hall, the Mountaineers held the Pirates to 44 points – a school record for a Big East game.

“We are playing hard, and we are playing for each other,” Throughman said. “When someone gets beat, we are there for each other.”

But, with seven of its next nine games coming against ranked opponents, including its matchup against No. 12 Villanova Saturday, WVU knows it still has plenty of work ahead of it.

Miranda Lambert to headline at WVU Coliseum by mackenzie Mays associate a&e editor

columbia nashville

Country singer Miranda Lambert will perform at the WVU Coliseum on March 27.

Country stars Miranda Lambert, Justin Moore and Josh Kelley are set to perform at the West Virginia University Coliseum on March 27.

Tickets go on sale Feb. 18 at 9 a.m.

Lambert debuted on mainstream country radio with her first hit single “Bring Me Down” and has lead the way for female artists ever since, coining her witty, revengeful songs as the self-labeled “crazy ex-girlfriend.”

Though she’s settled down with fellow country star Blake Shelton, her lyrical spunk goes unwaivered, releasing recent hits like “White Liar” and “Only Prettier.”

Lambert showed audiences her softer side in 2010 with the sentimental track “The House That Built Me,” which snagged the Country Music Association Song of the Year Award.

“Miranda Lambert is by far

my favorite female country artist.

She inspires girls to be strong, independent women,” said Stephanie Smith, mathematics education graduate student.

Junior nursing major Kati Ryan said she is excited to see Lambert at the show and appreciates the image she represents for women in society through her music.

“Her songs just have good lyrics and are empowering to women,” Ryan said.

Though Lambert is all about some girl power, she’s got the boys’ vote too.

“Miranda Lambert is the only female country singer I really listen to. She’s just different from all the rest,” said Jonathan Hill, sophomore accounting major. “She sings about drinking, cheating and more adult issues than all the girly stuff that’s out there by female country artists – she has a broader audience than only teenage girls.”

Josh Kelley is a pop rock singer recently turned country star.

Though the husband of actress Katherine Heigl, he found pop success with top-10 hit “Amazing.” Kelley signed with MCA Nashville in 2010 with goals of converting to country.

His debut country album titled “Georgia Clay” is set to release March 22. The album’s first single, also titled “Georgia Clay,” hit mainstream radio this August and is currently in the top 40 Hot Country Songs list.

Justin Moore is an up-andcoming country sensation who recently found success with his No. 1 single “Small Town USA” and top-10 hit “Backwoods.”

His debut self-titled album sold 300,000 in 2010.

Ticket prices range from $37 to $49, depending on location.

Former Rasta Rifiki member to showcase latest project at Gibbie’s by christina Gutierrez correspondent

The Tom Batchelor Band is set to play Gibbie’s Bar & Grill tonight, located at 368 High Street.

The five-piece band has performed its unique versions of reggae and rock at a variety of venues and festivals around the country, and said it is more than excited to return to the place where it all began.

Self-taught frontman and West Virginia University graduate Tom Batchelor said it’s been a long road for him to finally get settled in where he believes he belongs in his music career.

Getting his start in islandinfused Americana band Rasta Rafiki, Batchelor later became a part of local bluegrass/jam band The Recipe in 1997.

Sampling a variety of genres helped Batchelor find the musical confidence to form his own current group, The Tom Batchelor Band.

“I feel like I’ve joined forces with some of Morgantown’s most accomplished musicians,” Batchelor said.

He says he takes the most pride in the band’s natural ability to take the live stage as it comes, without missing a beat, and its incorporation of multiple genres and styles.

“Live, we enjoy exploring all the realms of improvisational possibilities within the song structures, delving into genres as diverse as jazz, ska and country,” Batchelor said.

Although the group has written original material, it often performs covers by classic names like The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Bob Marley and Bob Dylan.

WVU senior accounting major Jim Sklencar said he is looking forward to checking

White Stripes announce break up NEW YORK (AP) — The White Stripes are done.

The groundbreaking rock duo, which helped revive and reshape a stale rock scene with their scorching, guitarfueled, blues-tinged songs, announced Wednesday they are splitting up after more than a decade and six albums together.

Jack and Meg White (who presented themselves as brother and sister but were actually ex-husband and wife) said no “Behind the Music”type troubles doomed the band.

“The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues, as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health,” a statement announced. “It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.”

The Grammy-winning, platinum-selling band started off in Detroit in 1997.

Seen mainly as the brainchild of frontman Jack White (Meg was the drummer), the band’s breakthrough came at the start of the new millennium with the albums “White Blood Cells” and 2003’s “Elephant,” with the now-classic

song “Seven Nation Army.”

But over the years, Jack White has focused attention on other projects, including bands the Dead Weather and the Raconteurs, as well as his Nashville, Tenn.-based Third Man Records. He’s also acted as producer, helping revive the career of Loretta Lynn, with the album “Van Lear Rose” and most recently, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Wanda Jackson’s “The Party Ain’t Over.”

The last recording by the White Stripes was the live album “Under the Great White Northern Lights,” released last year, along with an accompanying DVD documentary.

In an interview with The Associated Press last year, White said being a part of the Stripes was “extremely hard,” but he liked the challenge.

“If it ever got easy to go out and do a White Stripes show, I think we would just end it.

It’s always been hard. That’s what I get from it though. It forces me to create something that I wouldn’t have done before. That’s tricky,” he said. “It’s tricky to go out on stage with two people in front of 10,000 people and make them all interested and keep them all interested for an hour or two, and standing their proudly and say it’s finished, that’s the

show. That’s hard to pull off.”

The duo urged fans not to be upset at the band’s demise.

Though no new recordings are expected, unreleased tracks are forthcoming.

“The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want,” they said. “The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to.

Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.”

It starts with a single seed.

From that pebble of life, a great tree can grow and bloom, weaving together the diversity of creation with the resilience of nature.

That is what Lohio’s Family “Tree” EP strives to prove.

Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pa., Lohio has found a friend in alternative folk.

Its 2009 self-titled EP toyed with a variety of styles as it made its mark on East-coast music.

But, with their most recent “Family Tree” EP, the group has settled into an indie folk playground, where the only wall in the sandbox is their own imagination.

“The second EP seemed to come really organically as we played to our strengths,” said guitar and vocalist Greg Dutton.

Dutton said the creation of

the band’s latest EP tells the story of how the band itself came together as a family.

Spending their nights in the studio found in sound engineer Jake Hanner’s Pennsylvania farmhouse, Lohio ate meals together and hung out, as well as worked on their sweet melodies.

“I remember we were making lots of meals and packing up our car with groceries, driving north out of the city,” Dutton said. “We were recording in a space we were really comfortable with, with people we were really comfortable with.”

These home-away-fromhome influences are shown on tracks like “Leave the City, Leave Your Room.” Musing on golden days gallivanting with friends, the song shows off a Sufjan Stevens-like familiarity, with the power of Arcade Fire.

Using eclectic instruments like a toy piano and an

accordion to add texture to its tunes, the band manages to pull off a country-neighborhood vibe without soudning too gimmicky.

Lohio has recently released a new muisc video for their single “Adelai.”

“It’s an emotional arc dealing with childhood and imaginary friends,” Dutton said of the video, which strives to leave viewers with a sense of nostaligia everyone can relate to.

Lohio will headline tonight’s Mayday Dance Party at 123 Pleasant Street.

Fellow Pittsburgh band Donora will also peform.

“123 Pleasant Street is one of the best clubs we’ve played for a venue of its size,” Dutton said. “It’s always fun to come down to play in Morgantown.”

‘WHAT’S THE WORD?’

Mallory Bracken/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Division of Theatre and Dance presents ‘What’s the Word?’ at the Creative Arts Center on Thursday night. Dancers perform in Sara Milam’s piece, ‘[Insert Name Here].’

For many in attendance, the word is ‘good’ for dance concert By jesse tabit a&e writer

Nine performances covered themes of love, lust and remembering those lost at West Virginia University’s annual celebration of dance Thursday night.

“What’s the Word?” offers a variety of dance styles inspired by literature.

It is the 56th annual performance produced by the Division of Theatre and Dance at the College of Creative Arts.

“I really liked the concert,” said Erica Baselic, a freshman pre-pharmacy major. “I thought it was very intriguing, and I would come and see it again.”

Her favorite performance of the night was “Patrick Bateman,” inspired by the novel “American Psycho.”

Including “Patrick Bateman,” there are nine pieces that comprise the production.

Other numbers included “Dancin’ In the Dark: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen,” with music by Bruce Springsteen; a novel by Bret Easton Ellis; and “Beautiful Day,” set to the song “Beautiful Day,” by Vitamin String Quartet.

Performers in the concert consist of WVU students and dance faculty. Also, out of the nine choreographers working on the concert, five were WVU students.

“The dances and choreogra-

FOR MORE INFORMATION Tickets for two more performances of ‘What’s The Word?’ are available to purchase by contacting 293-SHOW. Tonight’s performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Sunday’s performance begins at 2 p.m. and ticket prices may vary for attendees. phy are influenced by literature, and there is a slight pause between each piece to give the audience time to digest what they just saw,” said Yoav Kaddar, director of dance.

“Patrick Bateman” was choreographed by Kyle Hayes, a senior advertising major, while “Beautiful Day” was choreographed Emily Henderson, a senior multidisciplinary studies major.

“Dancin’ In the Dark” was choreographed by Barbara Yurick, a dance faculty member.

Also, “[Insert Me Here],” a piece about love and heartache, debuted early in the show and was choreographed by senior multidisciplinary studies major Sara Milam and set to an acoustic version of “Almost Lover” by A Fine Frenzy.

“I thought the concert was fantastic and I’m ecstatic to be here,” said Tiffany Somerville, a freshman nursing major.

Somerville said “Six Romanian Dances,” a swift piece that featured performances from artistic director Kaddar and his wife Maureen, was her favorite.

The concert started off slow, but it ended with a bang, said freshman business major Dan Riley.

“The Eye of a Little God, Four-Cornered,” choreographed by Lindsay Kenders, a senior public relations major with a minor in dance, was the final piece.

“I loved the rehearsal process,” Kenders said of “What’s The Word?” Kenders said she performed in two pieces throughout the concert (“Quiet Heart” and “Beautiful Day”) and was excited for her first

“big” choreographic debut. “I thought the concert was really fun and the dancers worked very hard.”

“What’s the Word?” can be seen at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in the CAC tonight at 7:30.

A showing can also be seen Saturday at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors and WVU employees, and $15 for WVU students.

Tickets can be purchased at the Mountainlair Box Office or the CAC Box Office.

The program is open to everyone, and people should come out to see the talent of WVU students, Kaddar said. jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu
