MountieRide signs with Mountain Line Bus authority will provide liability, training

BY CHARLES YOUNG STAFF WRITER

MountieRide, a West Virginia University student organization that looks to give students safe rides home, does not have a launch date set for the near future.

Megan Callaghan, Student Government Association governor and head of MountieRide, said she does not want to

set a date for the program’s start due to multiple past delays. She is unsure if it would begin this semester.

“We have a hopeful starting point, but because of what happened earlier with not starting on the exact date, we really don’t want to give an exact date,” Callaghan said.

The program was originally scheduled for a pilot run the weekend of Dec. 3, 2010. The group announced the program’s delay the day it was scheduled to begin, citing not being able to meet liability standards and problems with funding.

The liability issue has been resolved because the organi-

zation has made a deal with the Mountain Line Transit Authority to supplement their insurance coverage.

Mountain Line has also agreed to pay for 90 percent of training for the student drivers, as well as allowing the organization to use its depot as a dispatch house.

“The estimates were all through the roof,” said Cameron Taylor, MountieRide founder. “With Mountain Line, it really worked out amazingly. We couldn’t have done it without them.”

Through training with Mountain Line, the student drivers will undergo classes in nighttime driving, lessons

from the Morgantown Police Department and lessons in the dangers of texting while driving.

However, the organization still has some legal obstacles to overcome, such as the process of a getting approved for 501(c)(3) status. The 501(c)(3) status would grant the program legal status as a nonprofit charitable organization.

“The only thing holding us back is the 501(c)(3),” Taylor said. “If it was up to us, and if we could control it, really, it would be done months ago.

It’s in legal’s hands right now.”

Once the group has obtained status as a nonprofit, it can begin to receive tax-de-

ducible donations.

Taylor said he has spoken to a number of potential donors who are interested in helping to sponsor the program.

“We know that there will be money there, we are not sure how much,” he said. “Once the 501(c)(3) goes through, it will be more valid.”

MountieRide has also begun to look for grants as a possible source of funding, Callaghan said.

“I feel like if grants are attached to it, it will hold the program more responsible,” she said. “It will hold in the long run to make sure the program is still around.”

Taylor said the group is

being careful not rush the program’s launch to avoid mistakes.

“We want to make sure that when we come back in four or five years, MountieRide is still here,” Taylor said.

Funding issues began with the program in August 2010.

The pilot launch of the program was supposed to see what funding would be necessary to maintain it, Taylor said.

MountieRide lacked volunteers and funding by September.

In October, it was reported MountieRide still lacked the

West Virginia point guard Joe Mazzulla defends against a DePaul player during the first half of the Mountaineers’ 82-71 victory over the Blue Demons.

The No. 25 West Virginia men’s basketball team badly needed a win after dropping to eighth place in the Big East Conference and its last two games.

So, DePaul was exactly what the Mountaineers ordered.

WVU overpowered the Blue Demons in a 82-71 victory at the WVU Coliseum and scored more than 80 points for the first time in nine games. The Mountaineers were balanced on offense, as five players – guards Joe Mazzulla, Truck Bryant and Casey Mitchell and forwards John Flowers and Deniz Kilicli – scored in double figures.

Flowers led the Mountaineers with 15 points.

Now, the Mountaineers take on No. 12 Syracuse tonight at the Carrier Dome.

Horticulture Club to sell roses for Valentine’s Day

By Melissa Candolfi STAFF WRITER

Roses of red, yellow, violet and pink are available to sweethearts on Valentine’s Day. The West Virginia University Horticulture Club will be selling flowers to students and faculty for Valentine’s Day. The Horticulture Club has been having the flower sale for four years, said John Wagers, a junior horticulture major and a member of the club.

He said the club has raised almost $1,000 this year and has more than 300 pre-or-

ders for the flowers. Pick-up for the flowers will be at the WVU Greenhouse from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Some orders could be delivered upon request.

Although pre-orders ended on Friday, roses will still be on sale today at $40 for one dozen, $25 for a half-dozen and $4 for a single stem, and a $3 delivery fee if needed.

“We deliver on campus to dorms or offices so they don’t have to worry about going out or coming home with something,” Wagers said.

Some students at West Virginia University celebrated Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s official resignation Friday that ended 18 days of protests in the African country.

Mubarak resigned Friday by handing control of the country to the military. It up to the Egyptian citizens to elect a new president and a new form of government.

“Everyone in Egypt is happy now,” said Asem Othman, president of the WVU’s Egyptian Student Association. “We are waiting to see what happens next.”

The Egyptian military holds high trust with the Egyptian people, Othman said.

The Egyptian government has moved the presidential election up from the original September date to sometime within the next six months.

The Egyptian people will elect parliament’s officials before the upcoming presidential election.

“We are looking for a fair election,” Othman said. “It

doesn’t matter who wins the election, as long as it is fair, we are happy.”

There has been much controversy regarding Mubarak’s 29-year regime over whether or not he was fairly elected into office.

“I think it’s a good thing Mubarak stepped down,” said Sarah Krofek, a freshman forensic and investigative science major. “Hopefully things in Egypt will start getting better since that’s what the people wanted.”

Nathan Tehrani, a freshman physics major, agreed with Krofek, hoping for better Egyptian leadership and a restoration of order to the country.

Military officials have suspended Egypt’s constitution and asked the government ministers to stay in office until new elections are held.

The people of Egypt must now wait until elections are held in order to change which direction the country is headed.

The military has rejected the notion of a swift transfer of power, telling the

Students travel to Charleston for WVU Day at the Legislature

BY CHARLES YOUNG STAFF WRITER

Members of the Student Advocates for Legislative Advancement at West Virginia University met Saturday for a training session to help prepare for their upcoming trip to the West Virginia State Legislature.

The group, which is a subsidiary of the Student Government Association, will travel to Charleston on Tuesday to advocate on behalf of proposed legislation that would benefit the student body, said Benjamin Seebaugh, a sophomore prepolitical science major and SALA president.

He said the group hopes to focus its advocating efforts on two bills, one which would grant Morgantown the right to home rule, and another that deals with tenantlandlord issues.

“This is something that students have been interested in doing for years, and we are finally getting it off the

ground,” Seebaugh said. “We have a great group of people.”

During the training session, Seebaugh and Gov. Ryan Campione discussed the agenda for Tuesday.

The group plans to arrive at the capitol at 9 a.m. and has an opportunity to tour the building and see admissions to the state Supreme Court before the legislative session begins at 11 a.m. The group will spend the remainder of the day meeting with legislators.

Proper legislative attire, how to converse with legislators and the art of a good handshake were part of the training session.

W.Va. House of Delegates’ Kelli Sobonya spoke with the group about legislative procedures, how a bill becomes law and the most effective ways to contact a state delegate.

“I’m here to give you a behind-the-scenes look,” Sobonya said.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia would gradually erase its tax on food and hand its public employees a permanent raise if lawmakers can find a way to enhance a pair of proposals from acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.

Tomblin’s agenda this session includes bills that would pay employees a one-time sum and reduce the sales tax on groceries from 3 cents per dollar spent to 2 cents.

The measures are among 26 items proposed by Tomblin, and most had seen some traction as the session enters its final half.

But the House Finance Committee is crunching the numbers in the hope to take the tax and pay measures further, Chairman Harry Keith White said Friday.

The state would need to have enough annual revenue for a permanent pay raise.

Leftover surplus provides the $47.5 million needed for the one-time pay boost proposed

by Tomblin. Teachers would receive a payment of $800.

Other school workers would get $500, while state workers would receive at least that much through a boost equal to 2 percent of their pay.

Tomblin’s tax cut, meanwhile, would reduce general revenues by around $26 million annually. Ending it entirely would save taxpayers around $75 million a year, administration officials estimate. Tomblin has questioned the wisdom of such a cut at time when the state’s budget picture, while stable, continues to brace for future budget deficits.

The latest 6-year forecast projects a $122.9 million gap between revenues and spending for the 2012-2013 budget year. Its projected shortfalls grow to $226.9 million by the 2015-2016 budget year. Increasing spending further through pay raises while reducing general revenues would require budget officials

Acting West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin speaks during a news conference at the Kanawha City Foodland in Charleston, W. Va., Tuesday Jan. 18, 2010. The Gov. is proposing cutting the West Virginia food tax by one penny. to recalculate that forecast.

But White, D-Mingo, believes the state could afford gradually ending the food tax.

Within the past five years, it has gradually reduce the rate from 6 percent. The state could also refuse future cuts unless certain financial conditions are met, White said.

The state has scheduled cuts to its corporate net income tax rate, for instance, that depend on the size of its emergency reserves. White said he’s looking at surplus levels as the possible trigger, to ensure the state can afford the cuts.

Among Tomblin’s other agenda proposals, at least 20 have cleared at least one legislative committee. Two have passed, both relating to this year’s court-ordered special election for governor.

Last week, the House passed a bill that would require yearly evaluations for educators.

Also last week, the House Education Committee endorsed its version of Tomblin’s measure on school dropouts. The committee amended that bill to make this anti-dropout effort part of the state’s innovation zone program. Administration officials also believe the committee amendment increases the role of the state Board of Education at the expense of com-

munity-based organizations.

Some of Tomblin’s proposals appear to have stalled, however: bills addressing low-performing schools and alternatives for certifying teachers, and a proposal to use a reverse-auction process for bulk state purchases.

Committees have begun advancing various Tomblin agenda proposals, including a measure that would extend a program that offers tax credits to encourage private sector contributions to nonprofit community programs.

A Tomblin bill that would give the private sector a greater voice on state tourism matters has received initial committee approval. So has his bid to elevate the Division of Veterans’ Affairs to the cabinet-level Department of Veteran’s Assistance. The Senate version has been amended to speed up the change while denying the agency’s top post a pay raise, however.

Lawmakers are scheduled to vote this week on two other measures from Tomblin’s list. One would give Marshall and West Virginia universities more time to find funding for the “Bucks for Brains� research endowment programs. The other would boost the federally funded portion of the current state budget by $247 million, mostly for the Medicaid program.

Obama budget director says new budget will require tough choices

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will send Congress on Monday a $3 trillion-plus budget for 2012 that promises $1.1 trillion in deficit reduction over the next decade by freezing many domestic programs for five years, trimming military spending and limiting tax deductions for the wealthy.

Jacob Lew, the president’s budget director, said Sunday that the new spending plan for the 2012 would disprove the notion that “we can do this painlessly ... we are going to make tough choices.”

Republicans rejected that appraisal, castigating Obama for proposals that will boost spending in such areas as education, public works and research, and charging that Obama’s cuts are not deep enough.

They vowed to push ahead with their own plans to trim $61 billion in spending from the seven months left in the current budget year and then squeeze Obama’s 2012 budget plan for billions of dollars in additional savings in response to voters alarmed at an unprecedented flood of red ink.

“He’s going to present a budget tomorrow that will continue to destroy jobs by spending too much, borrowing too much and taxing too much,” House Speaker John Boehner said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Boehner released a statement from 150 economists calling on Obama to take immediate action to reduce

government spending.

Lew, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” rejected criticism that the $1.1 trillion deficit-cutting goal fell far short of the $4 trillion in deficit cuts outlined by the president’s own deficit commission in a plan unveiled last December. That proposal would attack the biggest causes of the deficits – spending on the benefit programs Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security – and defense spending.

Obama’s budget avoided the painful choices put forward by the commission on benefit programs. Lew said it would be a mistake to say the report did not have an impact on the president’s proposals.

He cited a proposal to pay for keeping doctors’ payments under Medicare from being cut sharply. Instead of borrowing the money to prevent those cuts, the administration was putting forward $62 billion in savings in other areas to prevent those cuts over the next two years, Lew said.

In addition, the administration is reviving a proposal Congress rejected last year to limit tax deductions the wealthy can get for charitable donations, mortgage interest payments and state and local taxes, and using those savings to pay for keeping the Alternative Minimum Tax from hitting more middle-class families over the next two years.

An administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity before the budget was

released, said one-third of the $1.1 trillion in deficit reduction the administration is projecting over the next decade would come from additional revenue with the bulk of that reflecting the limitations on tax deductions by the wealthy.

The administration has said that its five-year freeze will save $400 billion over the next decade with many programs slated for even bigger cuts. Community development block grants would be trimmed by $300 million, the government’s program to help low-income people pay their heating bills would be cut in half for a savings of $2.5 billion, and a Great Lakes environmental restoration program would but cut by 25 percent to save $125 million, according to an Office of Management and Budget summary.

That document also said that the budget would cut the Pentagon’s spending plans over the next decade by $78 billion with reductions in various weapons programs deemed unnecessary including the C-17 aircraft, the alternative engine for the Joint Strike Fighter aircraft and the Marine expeditionary vehicle.

The OMB document also listed $1 billion in cuts in grants for large airports, almost $1 billion in a reduction in support to states for water treatment plants and other infrastructure programs and savings from consolidating public health programs run by the Center for Disease Control

and various U.S. Forest Service programs.

The administration will also propose saving $100 billion from Pell Grants and other higher education programs over a decade through belt-tightening with the savings used to keep the maximum college financial aid award at $5,550, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the budget’s Monday release.

The OMB summary said that the $1.1 trillion deficit savings would reduce the deficit as a percentage of the total economy to 3 percent of GDP by the middle of this decade. The deficit is projected by the Congressional Budget Office to surge to an all-time high of $1.5 trillion this year, which would be 9.8 percent of the economy and mark the third consecutive $1 trillionplus budget gap.

The surging deficits reflect the deep 2007-2009 recession, which cut into government tax revenues as millions were thrown out of work and prompted massive government spending to jump-start economic growth and stabilize the banking system.

Republicans scored significant victories in the November elections by attacking the soaring deficits while the Obama administration argued that the spending was needed to keep the country from falling into an even deeper economic slump.

Foes seek to de-fund, discredit Planned Parenthood NEW YORK (AP) — From its defiant origins in 1916, Planned Parenthood has not shied away from controversy – fighting to legalize birth control, offering candid sex education to adolescents, evolving into America’s largest provider of abortion.

Its foes have been relentless, and it now faces some of the most withering attacks of its history. A bill in Congress would strip the organization of federal family-planning grants and a series of covertly taped videos seek to depict some Planned Parenthood staff as willing to assist sex traffickers.

On one side, there are prominent conservatives suggesting that Planned Parenthood may be a criminal enterprise.

On the other, Planned Parenthood leaders and allies are seizing the moment to rally support, saying the ultimate target of the attacks is the ability of American women to get the reproductive health services they desire.

“We’ve been here for the past 95 years, and we’ll be here for the next 95,” said Planned Parenthood’s president, Cecile Richards.

Through its affiliates, Planned Parenthood operates more than 800 clinics and health centers across the coun-

try, serving more than 3 million patients a year.

A half-dozen of those clinics – in New Jersey, New York and Virginia – figure in the undercover videos released over the past two weeks by Live Action, a California-based anti-abortion group. The videos show a man posing as a pimp and a woman posing as a prostitute seeking health services for underage sex workers.

Planned Parenthood fired one clinic manager in New Jersey who offered advice to the visitors, but otherwise says its staff responded professionally and reported the visits to their superiors.

Planned Parenthood’s national office notified the FBI before any videos were released and accused Live Action of resorting to deceptive “dirty tricks.” It also announced a nationwide retraining program to ensure that clinic staffers were familiar with rules about reporting possible danger to minors.

While much about the videos is in dispute, they provided fresh ammunition for antiabortion activists promoting a bill introduced by Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., that would deny federal family-planning funds to any organization that per-

First lady says laughter is key to togetherness WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s Michelle Obama’s advice for couples this Valentine’s Day: laugh with your partner.

She says it’s what she and President Barack Obama do, and it seems to be working.

Their marriage, although tested throughout the years by his political ambitions – for the Illinois Senate, the U.S. Senate and later president – is going on 19 years.

“I think a lot of laughing,” the first lady said at a White House luncheon with reporters who asked about the Obamas’ union. “I think in our house we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage.

“So we still find ways to have fun together, and a lot of it is private and personal. But we keep each other smiling and that’s good,” she added.

It also helps that Obama is “very romantic.”

“He remembers dates, birthdays,” Mrs. Obama said last week on “Live! With Regis and Kelly. “He doesn’t forget a thing, even when I think he is. . I’ll have a little attitude. I give him a little attitude, but he always comes through.”

“Got to keep the romance alive, even in the White House,” she said.

As for Valentine’s Day on Monday, the first lady said her husband would do right by giving her jewelry.

“You can’t go wrong,” she said.

But Mrs. Obama also said they don’t fuss too much over the day that’s about celebrating love and affection between couples.

forms abortions. Pence makes clear that Planned Parenthood is his target; it would lose more than $70 million in annual funding.

“Every American should be shocked that an employee of the largest recipient of federal funds under Title X has been recorded aiding and abetting underage sex trafficking,” Pence said. “The time to deny any and all funding to Planned Parenthood is now.”

By law, federal funds may not be used directly for abortions. But Pence argues that the grants, by covering overhead and operational costs, free up other money to provide abortions.

Planned Parenthood’s staunchest allies in Congress – primarily liberal Democrats – have vowed to fight the proposed funding cut.

“In my community, Planned Parenthood is a very highly regarded mainstream organization,” said Rep. Lois Capps, DCalif., who depicted Pence’s bill as “driven by an extreme ideological agenda.”

Richards said Planned Parenthood, with a $1 billion annual budget, could survive the loss of the federal grants but would be forced to close some clinics and serve fewer people.

“This would roll back decades of progress for women’s health care,” she said in a telephone interview.

Planned Parenthood dates its beginnings to 1916 when Margaret Sanger, her sister and a friend opened America’s first birth control clinic in Brooklyn.

At the time, women couldn’t vote or divorce abusive husbands, and contraception was illegal.

The clinic was raided, and Sanger was convicted of disseminating birth control information. Undaunted, she founded two organizations that later merged to form the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Sanger’s personal legacy is complicated. She opposed abortion – yet the organization she founded now provides a quarter of America’s 1.2 million annual abortions. Her views on eugenics and racial issues remain a subject of bitter debate to this day.

Over the decades, Planned Parenthood played pivotal roles in easing laws against contraception, popularizing the birth control pill and setting the stage for the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that established a woman’s right to have an abortion.

Egyptians pose for photographs on top of an army tank in Tahrir Square in Cairo, Egypt, Sunday. Egypt’s military is taking down the makeshift tents of protesters who camped out on Tahrir Square in an effort to allow traffic and normal life to return to central Cairo.

There were a few verbal altercations between soldiers and protesters Sunday morning as the tents were removed, but the process was generally peaceful.

Egypt’s military rulers dissolve parliament CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s military rulers took sweeping action to dismantle the autocratic legacy of former President Hosni Mubarak on Sunday, dissolving parliament, suspending the constitution and promising elections in moves cautiously welcomed by pro-democracy protesters.

The caretaker government, backed by the military, said restoring security after the 18-day uprising that ousted Mubarak was a top priority even as labor unrest reflected one of the many challenges of steering the Arab world’s biggest nation toward stability and democracy.

Egypt’s upheaval was also splintering into a host of smaller grievances, the inevitable outcome of emboldened citizens feeling free to speak up, most of them for the first time.

They even included about 2,000 police, widely hated for brutality and corruption under Mubarak, who marched to the Interior Ministry to demand better pay and conditions. They passed through the protest camp at Tahrir Square, where demonstrators hurled insults at them, calling them “pigs” and “dogs.”

Egypt’s state news agency said banks will be closed Monday due to strikes and Tuesday for a public holiday. Dozens of employees protested against alleged corruption at the state television building, which broadcast pro-Mubarak messages during the massive demonstrations against his rule.

The caretaker government met for the first time, and employees removed a huge picture of Mubarak in the meeting room before they convened.

The crowds in the protest encampment that became a symbol of defiance against the government thinned out Sunday – the first working day since the regime fell. Traffic flowed

through the downtown crossroads for the first time in weeks.

Troops cleared most of the makeshift tents and scuffled with holdout activists.

The protesters have been pressing the ruling military council, led by Defense Minister Hussein Tantawi, to immediately move forward with the transition by appointing a presidential council, dissolving the parliament and releasing political prisoners. Thousands have remained in Tahrir Square and some want to keep up the pressure for immediate steps by the council such as the repeal of repressive emergency laws that give police broad power.

As Egypt embarked on its new path – one of great hope but also deep uncertainty – the impact of its historic revolt as well as an earlier uprising in Tunisia was evident in a region where democratic reform has made few inroads.

Yemeni police on Sunday clashed with protesters seeking the ouster of the U.S.backed president, and opposition groups planned a rally in Bahrain on Monday. Demonstrators have also pushed for change in Jordan and Algeria, inspired by the popular revolt centered in downtown Cairo.

While some protesters said they are willing to give the ruling council a chance to fulfill pledges to move the nation toward democracy, communication between their movement and the military appears to be minimal or non-existent.

“The situation is very foggy right now. It is not clear what is happening,” said Mostafa alNaggar, an associate of Wael Ghonim, the Google executive whose Facebook campaign fueled the protests. He said it was “totally unacceptable” that the caretaker government was full of members of Mubarak’s old ruling party.

Medicaid expansion good for West Virginians The New England Journal of Medicine did a study in which researchers calculated each state’s current capacity for primary care physicians in relation to the Medicaid expansion that is scheduled to take place as a result of federal health care reform between 2014 and 2019.

According to “The States’ Next Challenge – Securing Primary Care for Expanded Medicaid Populations,” West Virginia is eighth on the top-10 “most ready” list. This means West Virginia is better prepared to offer newly insured citizens

with primary care now and after the Medicaid expansion.

This is not an assumption most people would have made considering that West Virginia is not usually regarded as a wealthy or progressive state in terms of reform.

As noted in the study, West Virginia has the fifth-highest poverty rate in the country and is a leader in chronic diseases.

Being that these are two key factors in the current health care reform debate, one would think West Virginia should have been lower on the list with states like Texas, Georgia and

Oklahoma (Oklahoma is number 51 on the “most ready” list, positioning it in last place).

But the criteria that mattered most were each state’s number of expected patients compared to the supply of primary care doctors and facilities. It was estimated that by 2019, there will be approximately 139,000 new Medicaid cardholders in West Virginia. This number would devastate the health care establishments in other states, but not West Virginia.

Currently, 373,000 West Virginians already get their primary care at one of the state’s

28 community health centers.

However, 90, 000 of those people are uninsured. These centers offer care to people regardless of income, so the Medicaid expansion will not harm the state or its citizens. If anything, West Virginians will benefit in the long run.

According to an actuarial study sponsored by the State Health Care Authority, Medicaid expansion will save West Virginia millions each year. In other states, Medicaid expansion will cause there to be an increase of citizens with Medicaid, but there may not be an

adequate number of facilities, doctors and other health care practitioners to handle the influx. We believe that the Medicaid expansion will grant some relief for those West Virginia citizens who work tirelessly and still can’t afford health care. Regardless of a person’s job or their station in life, everyone deserves the right to health care for themselves and their families. West Virginia still has many issues, but at least Medicaid expansion doesn’t seem to be one of them.

In this April 21, 2010 file photo, thousands of people, including state union members, state workers, teachers and social service organizations, rally to protest budget cuts in Illinois.

Fiscal responsibility doesn’t mean cutting programs Americans need jeremiah yates Associate Opinion Editor

“This is a moral issue acknowledging that there may be some very worthy programs that are going to get hurt, but we all have to suck it up,” Rep. Joe Walsh, R-IL, said in a statement after the House released its proposal for budget cuts for the remainder of 2011.

The budget cuts released on Friday amount to $60 billion in current spending and add up to $100 billion when compared to President Barack Obama’s proposal for government programs for this fiscal year.

It is certain there are programs that need to be cut, and the American public will have to cope with it. But it seems ironic to hear Republican leaders telling others to suck it up. Just a few months ago,

when the debate was heavy about letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire, telling the top 3 percent of taxpayers to “suck it up” wasn’t an option.

Now lower and middle class Americans do not get the same treatment.

Some of these people who rely on government programs, such as public housing, will take a major blow. In total, the Transportation and Housing budget will be cut by 24 percent.

In addition to these cuts, there will be another $1.3 billion in cuts for job-training programs.

I agree with cutting wasteful spending, but they should leave programs alone that are essential for the working class to thrive.

In a time when finding a job is difficult, cutting job training programs should not be an option.

The same goes for housing assistance programs. What

will happen to those who are struggling and can’t afford overpriced rent in urban areas? Just ask anyone who lives in the New York City area.

According to the Department of Defense budget overview, the money spent in defense has doubled in the past 10 years.

But the proposal only calls for $19 billion to be cut for security-related programs, while cutting $81 billion in non-security related programs, both numbers in comparison with Obama’s budget proposal.

It doesn’t make any sense to not make the majority of cuts from programs that constitute the most government spending. Remember, the deficit actually began with the Iraq War following 9/11.

I’m not saying that we don’t need to spend a great deal of money in defense; we just need to be careful on how it is spent.

Sure the budget cuts from

these social programs seem like a lot, but when put into perspective, they are just pennies.

The American people are going to suffer, and the politicians in D.C. are going to claim to have “fiscal responsibility.”

Republicans say they heard the American voters in the November elections, but they sure as hell didn’t listen to their needs.

The American voters do want fiscal responsibility, but they also want the government to work for them. The last time I checked, our government was one of the people, for the people and by the people.

Our representatives in D.C. do not have the slightest clue what it is to be a working-class citizen.

To many people, it is routine to work seven days a week and have just enough money to pay some bills and have food on the table. Government programs help these hard-work-

ing families by granting them some breathing room.

Conservative views on government spending ignore the reasons of why some programs are necessary. Cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency, which took the heaviest blow, were good choices.

Not that I don’t care about the environment, but these programs do not help create jobs or help working-class families.

A lot of EPA regulations and programs can be held off until we can afford the money for them.

But social programs dealing with education and financial assistance to families in need are not the ones that need cut, nor are they the ones that create our deficit problems.

The politicians who are pushing for these cuts are only trying to appear to fix problems. They never give answers to tough questions and only make substantial cuts to pro-

grams that aren’t the problem.

Problems such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, they will continue to ignore.

They will wait for someone else to come address the tougher issues so they can just sit and ridicule.

Obama’s health care legislation was far from perfect, but at least he acknowledged the problem and tried.

The problems America faces are old ones, but the changes we need never come.

Problems like energy and health care have been around for years with no solutions.

The fingers continue to point in other directions because no one in D.C. will take a chance with changes on real issues.

Until someone does, the only thing we will see are pointless budget cuts like the one proposed on Friday.

It won’t fix anything, but the Republicans will give themselves pats on the back anyway.

Department of Health’s plan to extend coverage to college students is beneficial Ethan Colbert The Maneater U. Missouri (Uwire)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced a new plan to extend coverage to an additional 3 million college students through the Affordable Health Care Act of 2010 by adding additional benefits to the student health care plans.

In a conference call with college media outlets Wednesday, the HHS discussed the effect of new provisions in health care reform legislation.

HHS Division Director Steve

DA

Larsen opened the discussion by saying the new proposal provides extra protection to college students not currently protected by the national health care law.

“One of the most vulnerable groups in our old health care system was young adults, especially those in college,” said Larsen.

“When our young people graduated from college they not only looked for a job, but they were also looking for a job with benefits.”

Jessica Moore, spokeswoman for HHS said as of Jan. 1, 2012, pre-existing conditions and medication exclusion policies would be discontinued.

The ban on lifetime benefit

caps will take effect on Jan.1, 2014.

“In addition to the restrictions being lifted on medications like insulin, the proposal requires that college and universities health care plans meet an 80 cents per dollar ratio with 80 cents going to pay for health care, not for administration costs,” Moore said.

According to HHS statistics, Larsen says he felt like college students were ignored and often fell through the cracks of the old health care system.

“America’s young people are more than 20 percent more likely to go without health insurance,” Larsen said. “This means that there are thousands of young people wonder-

ing about how they are going to pay for their next doctor’s visit, who do have the medicines they need.

This new proposal will provide coverage and answers to those students.”

Larsen pointed out students impacted by the new proposal are those who receive health insurance through their university’s student health care plans.

“Nationwide, 1,500 to 2,000 colleges and universities offer their students a student health care plan,” Larsen said. “The Affordable Health Care Act did nothing to impact these students.

This proposal will allow those 3 million students who

participate in student health care plans to receive coverage that every other American receives through the new health care law.”

Aaron Smith, of Young Invincibles, a D.C. lobbyist firm for young Americans, says this is not a new issue, or even a win-lose issue, but a win-win for all young Americans.

“As a whole this debate over universal health care is nothing new, this is not a debate where one side has to win and another has to lose,” Smith said.

“Instead this is a win-win, because this proposal will result in extended coverage for college students.”

Larsen said the proposal reinforces the new guidelines

about restrictions and makes them applicable to all students with student health care plans.

“For every 20 schools offering coverage, eight had exclusion principles in place like pre-existing conditions, lifetime benefit caps, medication exclusion, the list goes on and on,” Larsen said.

Steve Bloom, of the American Council of Education (ACE), which represents the interests of higher education institutions, said the ACE is extremely pleased with this result.

“Our primary concern for our students is always quality health care, access to health care and affordability,” Bloom said.

Mall/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The judges watch and take notes as contestants in the ‘WVU Faculty/Staff Talent Show’ perform.

Larry Koay plays the bagpipes for his act at the ‘WVU Faculty/Staff Talent Show’ on Friday night in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

Students judge 12 acts in one night only show by jesse tabit A&E writer

West Virginia University faculty and staff showcased their talents Friday in the Mountainlair Ballrooms as part of the 2011 “WVU Faculty/Staff Talent Show.�

Twelve contestants participated in the event, with talents ranging from a ghost story told by Jason Burns, employee of the Office of International Programs; a rendition of Bette Midler’s “The Wind Beneath My Wings� by Belinda Nicholas, a staff member of the WVU Monongalia County Extension Office; and a performance of the hammer and dulcimer (a stringed musical instrument)

by Jeff Fedan, an adjunct professor of physiology. “I think the talent show went very well,� said Sonja Wilson, event coordinator. “We had a very diverse group, and they all were really good.�

Wilson said there were more than 200 people in the audience on Friday. “I was blown away by the talent and variety in the show,� said Dave Slusarick, reigning “Mr. Mountaineer� and one of the judges for the competition.

Watch more Watch video from the faculty and staff talent show on our website at www.thedaonline.com

Contestants were scored on a scale from 1 to 10 based on stage performance, quality of performance, choice of selection, entertainment value and overall performance.

The event was judged by Slusarick; Macy Miller, reigning “Ms. Mountaineer� Dan Whiteman, a senior wildlife and fisheries resources major and “Mountaineer Idol� firstrunner up; Chelsea Malone, a freshman finance major and Mountaineer Idol second-runner up; and Cassie Werner, president of the Mountaineer Maniacs. “I am very grateful, as Ms. Mountaineer, that I get to attend great events like this,�

Miller said.

Malone, who is no stranger to the stage, offered advice to the contestants: “Do what you want to do, and have fun with it.�

Other talents included those of Larry Koay, assistant director of Dining Services, who played

the bagpipes; stand-up comedy by James Johnson, an employee of the Office of Multicultural Programs; and a rendition of “The Wizard and I� from the musical “Wicked� given by Samantha Bonacci, a resident hall coordinator for Dadisman and Stalnaker Halls.

The competition’s top three finalists, Belinda Nicholas, Chris Honaker, a dining services employee who sang “Rocketman� by Elton John, and Jonathan Burns, an extension camp instructor at the athletic coaching department, played an original song titled “Run Boy Run� on his banjo.

Burns was proclaimed winner and received a trophy and other prizes including a free meal from “Side Pocket,� a restaurant located on the first floor of the Mountainlair, and a coupon for a free game of bowling in the Mountainlair bowling alley. “I love to play music, and I thought the talent show was fun,� Burns said.

Burns added that his love of music and his skill with the instrument came from his parents, who are both musicians. jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Division of Forestry hosts the WE’RE HIRING ‘Sweets for your Sweetie’ bake sale The Daily Athenaeum is now taking applications for the following paid positions.

by david ryan A&E editor

Students looking to find something sweet for Valentine’s Day are in luck.

The West Virginia University Professional Recreation and Parks Society is hosting a bake sale to raise funds for its organization.

The group is part of the WVU Division of Forestry & Natural Resources at the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design.

Students can pick up a variety of baked goods at two locations across campus: across

from the Mountainlair (10 a.m. to 5p.m.) and by Percival Hall (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). “For one dollar, you can get a pretty decent-sized baked good,� said Alexis Marshall, an organizer with the event and a senior parks and recreation major. “You can write your special someone a note.

It’s a really good idea for a lastminute gift.�

The group, which spent most of Sunday night preparing the goods, will have a selection of items including brownies, Rice Krispie treats, blueberry muffins and more.

Each is able to have custom-

ized greeting tags with a space for “to� and “love.�

This is the second time this year the group has held a bake sale to help fund their projects. “We’re trying to raise more money for our Healthy Hound Dog Fair for the spring,� Marshall said.

The Healthy Hound Dog Fair, in its fourth year, allows community members to show off their pets, as well as features guest speakers and giveaways.

Money from today’s sales will help toward food costs, as well as trips and activities for

the department. “We try and get people interested in activities,� she said. “Right now, we’ve been trying to get a skiing group to go to WISP for student night or locals night.�

Funds, however, are low for the project. Money raised will also give students interested in their trips an opportunity to go.

Marshall said the group hopes to have at least 100 baked items between the two locations. Marshall hopes to raise $100 to $125 at the sale. david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

BORN TODAY This year, you waver more than usual. Take time alone to sort through issues and to reduce tension. At times, demands in your daily life could be overwhelming. It is imperative that you take better care of your health, eat well and exercise. Often, what is said could change radically given time. Be smart, and don’t force any issues. If you are single, take your time before committing. Someone might not be all he or she appears to be. If you are attached, you might differ from your sweetie a little more. Accept his or her opinions with respect. Both of you come from different perspectives. CANCER might be hard to work with.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You could hit your share of obstacles, only because so many people feel you are capable of nearly anything. A partner or associate supports you. Don’t feel pressured by his or her difficult questions.

They are only questions. Tonight: Talk over dinner.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HH Observe from behind the scenes. The situation could become a problem if you don’t handle it properly. Understanding evolves between you and a confidant who understands your work. Resist a power play by not playing. Tonight: Get some R and R. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Realize what a friend really means. Your supporters are clear as to the point at which they can go no further.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Your creativity could save the day, if you so choose. You also might want to walk away from a demanding, pushy person and let the cards fall where they may.

The call is yours, in any case. Investigate what is key in the long run, and decide what is best. Tonight: A quiet talk settles a problem.

VALENTINE’S DAY 411 What would Valentine’s Day be without a cheesy romantic movie? Ashlie Walter and John Terry choose their picks for the best chick flicks for girls and guys to enjoy.

FOR GIRLS

FOR GUYS

COMMON PICK ‘MUST LOVE DOGS’

‘NICK & NORAH’

Sarah Nolan (Diane Lane) is pretty, smart and divorced, demoralized and dateless. Her sister posts a profile of Sarah on perfectmatch. com and leads her to Jake (John Cusack), a soulful boat builder whose idea of love is something from “Dr. Zhivago” and lets him go because he seems “too intense.”

But she soon learns she may have passed by her one love.

Nick (Michael Cera) is going through a depressing time after a breakup.

Norah (Kat Dennings) is looking for her favorite band in New York City when she meets Nick and they embark on a great journey to find the group throughout the city while also searching for Norah’s lost, drunk friend. The story simply shows an authentic story of love.

‘27 DRESSES’ Jane (Katherine Heigl) has served as a bridesmaid 27 times and has all of the dresses to prove it. She is secretly in love with her boss, but refuses to make any sort of move.

‘MADE OF HONOR’

‘HOW TO LOSE ...’

This is a story of a guy, Tom, who doesn’t make his move quick enough. Before he knows it, his best friend, Hannah is engaged to a Scottish man after just two weeks. To add insult to injury, Hannah asks him to become the maid of honor. Tom finally finds the courage to confront Hannah about his love for her and wins her back minutes before the wedding.

This movie is a classic, as it has big name stars, comedy and the typical chick-flick romance. Andie (Kate Hudson), a writer for a magazine in New York City, is doing a story on what it takes to lose a guy in 10 days. Ben (Matthew McConaughey), an advertising executive, will land a big-time company job if he is able to successfully land a girl in 10 days.

That is, until her little sister arrives and quickly falls in love with the boss. Jane is forced to tell her boss how she feels before her sister gets to the alter with him instead.

‘SABRINA’ Sabrina Fairchild (Audrey Hepburn) is the chauffeur’s daughter of a rich estate in Long Island. When Sabrina returns from France, everyone takes notice of the sophisticated, optimistic young woman. Even the Larabee brothers, who own the estate, battle over who will win Sabrina’s heart. The classic holds charms that aren’t common in today’s movies with humor, traditional wooing and great fashion.

‘...HARRY MET SALLY’ Through many different adventures, Sally Albright (Meg Ryan) and Harry Burns (Billy Crystal) realize they are a perfect match.

“When Harry Met Sally” shows a certain amount of truth to men and women’s friendships that are uncommon today. It becomes a story about friendship and how your true love could be your best friend.

This movie is actually a traditional girly chick flick, but that doesn’t mean guys wont like it.

Heigl is a relatable actress for guys, because she’s in many other shows and movies and does a brilliant job in this film.

‘P.S. I LOVE YOU’

‘FEVER PITCH’

It all came crashing down when Holly (Hilary Swank) lost her husband Gerry (Gerard Butler) to illness. That is until she finds he left 10 notes for her to read after he’s passed. Gerry knew his life was coming to an end and intricately planned out the notes, with the first one arriving on Holly’s 30th birthday. The notes guide Holly through her suffering and onto reinvent herself as a person.

Lindsey (Drew Barrymore) finally finds what she thinks is the perfect guy when she meets Ben (Jimmy Fallon) on a class field trip. Ben’s students urged him to call back Lindsey, and when he does, the relationship begins. It doesn’t take long, however, for Lindsey to realize how important the Boston Red Sox are to Ben.

The perfect soundtrack for celebrating Anti-Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day is an excuse for mainstream radio to give airplay to the best love songs of all time. But the mushy ballads can be the icing on the cake for those who aren’t exactly content with being single. Here is a fun list, in no particular order, of the most prideful, revengeful and bitter songs for the Valentine-less to listen to in order to refresh their memory of why they’re single in the first place and act as motivation to stray from those similar to their exes when considering getting back out there.

“Bittersweet” by “You Oughta know” “Next Girl” by Kanye West ft. John by Alanis Morisette Black Keys Mayer.

This song combines the unmatched wit and nerve of West, (whose songs like “Heartless” and “Blame Game” should also make this list) and Mayer, the king of lovelorn heartbreak songs to create a playful anthem about the thin lines between love and hate; want and need.

Though the lyrics are a bit raunchy, and more disturbingly (so considering they were written for Uncle Joey from “Full House,”) the song is still as bold and daring as it was when it debuted in the ’90s. Most shocking line: “It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced, and are you thinking of me when you f--k her?” Oh my.

A new anthem, this song will be enough to get you through on the instrumentals alone. However, Dan Auerbach’s wicked and powerful voice can get anyone feeling pretty powerful. The humorous song compares an ex to the next and questions how important looks really are in a relationship.

“Well, the look of the cake, it ain’t always the taste. My ex girl she had such a beautiful face.”

“White Liar” by Miranda Lambert Country music is the birthplace of songs about heartbreak. And Lambert is country throughand-through, while still able to appeal to a variety of audiences with her feisty lyrics as a self proclaimed “crazy ex girlfriend.”

The song is about catching a cheater in the act, but ends with a revengeful twist: “Here’s a bombshell just for you, turns out I’ve been lyin’ too.”

“Seventy Times Sev- “Toothbrush and my en” by Brand New Table” by Grace Potter Though the song starts out as a seemingly immature song, typical of any pop/punk garage band, it evolves into a powerful reality check. The song asks questions like “Is that what you call tact? Well you’re as subtle as a brick in the small of my back,” and “ burns with lines like “I’ve seen more spine in jellyfish, I’ve seen more guts in 11-year-old kids.”

All of Potter’s songs do something different than most music when it comes to writing about relationships. It brings us back to the basics and adds some classic soul to our mainstream-wired ears. While it’s a simple song about getting your stuff back after a breakup, it puts you in a fired up, independent mood.

Valentine’s Day is here once again. Whether you are a celebrator of intimacy and romance, or a person who loathes the sight of cupid and basically every happy couple strolling together hand in hand, there isn’t any escaping the love that is in the air on this very day.

Finding the perfect gift to show your appreciation for your partner can be overwhelming, based on the commitment level and duration spent as an item together.

Becoming overwhelmed often transforms into an overall procrastination of putting sincere thought into a gift, leading to you racing down an aisle of a grocery store to find the biggest, softest and tackiest, “I heart you” teddy bear and industrial-sized assorted box of chocolates.

Both males and females are guilty of hesitating to proactively formulate the perfect gift and date idea.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Clive Davis’ annual preGrammy gala was an evening that included a saucy and touching tribute from Cher, sizzling performances from the likes of Mumford & Sons, Cee Lo Green and Jennifer Hudson, and the typical array of dazzling superstars in attendance.

But the moments sure to generate the most buzz came from Whitney Houston and R. Kelly: both gave performances that bordered on bizarre, with two entirely different results.

Kelly owned the evening with an electrifying set that had stars from Akon to “Glee” star Jane Lynch on their feet, as he sang his retro hit “When

A Woman Loves” and also dabbled through his rich catalog of hits that includes songs ranging from “Step In The Name of Love” to “Your Body’s Calling.” His started his mini-concert off with the odd choice of the national anthem, though soulfully rendered, then in another puzzling moment, teased a bit of the “Price Is Right” theme.

But Kelly had the A-list crowd riveted as he ran through his own classics; by the time he ended his set with his soaring “When a Woman Loves,” he was receiving a standing ovation.

Whitney Houston, the evening’s last performer, also got a reverential response from the audience as she came on

stage, looking dazzling in a silver-sequinned dress.

But her once majestic voice, though at times showing flashes of her former brilliance, sounded weary and hoarse as she creaked through a tribute to her famous singing cousin, Dionne Warwick.

“I didn’t have to look for the ‘American Idol,’ because she was in my home,” said Houston of the classic performer.

During a couple of moments, like her brief performance of “Alfie,” she seemed to veer from the rehearsed plan, and meandered on the stage.

As a finale, she brought her legendary relative onstage as they both sang Warwick’s “That’s What Friends Are For.” After ward, Houston seemed like she wanted to get back on the mic, but Davis, who discovered Houston, grabbed her and joked: “I found you when you were 19; I’m still your boss!” He then bid the audience goodnight, ending that possibility.

Davis’ pre-Grammy gala has long been one of Grammy week’s most exclusive invites, and the crowd this year once again included superstars and legends from all fields: Warren Beatty, Miley Cyrus, Diddy, Katy Perry, Usher, Neil Young, John Mayer, Serena Williams, Sara Silverman were just a few of the boldfaced names in attendance.

They were treated to rousing performances from Grammy nominees Janelle Monae and Mumford and Sons, as well as Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson and “Glee’s” Matthew Morrison.

Green performed the uncensored version of his Grammy-nominated hit “(Expletive) You,” as the crowd loudly sang along to the chorus.

The Recording Academyevent was also dedicated to David Geffen, who was given the academy’s President’s Merit award.

The co-founder of Dreamworks is also a legendary and influential music figure and played a pivotal role in the careers of acts ranging from Joni Mitchell to Nirvana.

Six earn wins in Mountaineers’ 23-14 win over Ohio

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia senior Brandon Rader wrestles Ohio’s Darrin Boing in WVU’s win over the Bobcats Saturday.

West Virginia junior, 157-pound wrestler Ryan Goodman has had confidence issues on the mat.

As one of just two wrestlers in the lineup without a winning record, something needed to be done to ensure Goodman reached his potential.

So, head coach Craig Turnbull switched things up at practice to mimic an intense atmosphere.

“We started every day in practice with him doing a refereed match with his competition at that weight class with everyone watching, so that he would hopefully start to adjust to competition and start to assert himself,” Turnbull said. “By the third day, he started to wrestle with a little more intensity.”

It paid off Saturday, as Goodman earned a crucial 3-2 decision over Ohio’s Seth Creasy to help lead the Mountaineers (8-5) to a 23-14 victory over the Bobcats.

A 7-0 early start to the match helped pace WVU. Sopho-

mores Shane Young and Nathan Pennesi earned wins at the 125-pound and 133-pound marks, respectively, to start out on the right foot.

“Shane and I have a strong start, and that is what we need to do to get the back end of the lineup ready,” Pennesi said.

“By creating a high energy, we have been able to help in a dual meet.”

He also feels that the momentum has helped wrestlers, such as Goodman, get back into a comfortable setting.

“Starting off high early definitely helps others feed off the success,” the Latrobe, Pa., native said. “Throughout the lineup, we did a good job today.”

Turnbull credited freshman Michael Morales for giving a strong effort that ultimately may have been a deciding factor in the match.

He went up against the No. 13 wrestler, Germane Lindsey, at 141 pounds and earned two points, despite a loss.

“Morales gave a very good effort where they we re-looking to take extra points,” Turnbull said. “In that match, the extra

points were going to be critical, and that’s what we got early on.

Today, we were able to go out and get the bonus points, and that was very helpful in winning a dual meet.”

Seniors Brandon Rader, Donnie Jones and junior Matt Ryan all added to the Mountaineers’ win column on Saturday.

Rader’s came by a pin over Darren Boing at the 149-pound mark.

At 174 pounds, junior Robert DeSano was a last-second fill-in for Alex Meade, who was out due to sickness, which team doctors believe could be mononucleosis. DeSano fell to Ohio’s Nick Purdue on a major decision.

“He got really sick,” Turnbull said. “His throat was swollen, his liver was swollen and his spleen was swollen.”

The 31-year head coach believes Meade will be able to practice early this week, and anticipates him returning to the lineup on Friday when the Mountaineers host Edinboro at 7 p.m. matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

Wright leads Hoyas over Marquette, 69-60 Solid shooting helps men’s basketball

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chris Wright scored 20 points, Austin Freeman added 17 despite limping badly off the court in the first half, and No. 11 Georgetown survived the run-’emragged strategy of Marquette coach Buzz Williams to win its eighth straight game, beating the Golden Eagles 69-60 Sunday.

The win moved the Hoyas (20-5, 9-4) into sole possession of third place in the Big East and kept alive their longest conference win streak since 2006-07.

Georgetown won despite an off night against Marquette’s tough man-to-man defense, shooting 43 percent from the field, including 7 for 27 from 3-point range. But the Hoyas made 16 of 18 free throws and held the Golden Eagles to 40 percent from the field.

Darius Johnson-Odom scored 20 points for Marquette (15-10, 6-6), which dropped back to .500 in the congested heart of the Big East. The Golden Eagles went 1-2 during a threegame road stretch.

Freeman accounted for four points in a 9-1 late second-half run that gave the Hoyas a little breathing room in a game that stayed closed throughout.

Freeman’s bank shot, Henry Sims’ three-point play and Freeman’s transition layup helped push the score to 59-50 with 4:50 to play, and Jason Clark’s two free throws with 3:43 remaining made it 61-51 – the only double-digit lead either team would have in the game.

Marquette pulled within three on Johnson-Odom’s steal and layup that made it 6360 with 1:41 to go, but Julian Vaughn’s dunk started a gameending 6-0 run for the Hoyas.

Freeman was hurt during a scramble for the ball with 1:31 remaining in the first half and could barely put any weight on his right foot as he limped to the locker room. He did not start the second half but re-entered the game with 17:13 to play and looked just fine.

He hung in the air before shot-putting a right-hander off the glass while getting fouled to pull the Hoyas within one, then gave Georgetown the lead with a fadeaway baseline jumper that made the score 42-41 with 12 minutes to play. The Hoyas would not trail again.

Williams ran the first half like a hockey coach, shuffling multiple players in and out of the game at virtually every break in play.

Rarely was there a moment in which a Marquette player – or two or three or four – wasn’t sitting by the scorer’s table waiting for the next whistle. Williams himself was almost like a sixth man, constantly straying so far from the coach’s box during play that Georgetown’s fans jeered him with the chant: “Off the court!”

Williams didn’t substitute nearly as liberally in the second half, but he kept a constant flow of players coming off the bench.

He also made the most out of Davante Gardner, who had scored all of seven points in Big East play this season. Gardner was an influential presence in the paint and finished with 12 points before fouling out with 7:07 to play.

Jimmy Butler came off the bench for the second straight game, having also played as a reserve last week against South

Battle joined Wisconsin’s Alando Tucker as the Big Ten’s only 2,000-point scorers in the past decade. The Nittany Lions’ guard shot 7 of 9 from the field, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range.

XAVIER 71, Duquesne 63 Tu Holloway had 20 points and Dante Jackson tied a career-high with 19 as Xavier beat Duquesne 71-63 on Sunday in a game with first place in the Atlantic 10 Conference on the line.

Jackson, a senior guard, made 7 of 9 field goals, including four 3-pointers, to help Xavier overcome a slow start by leading scorer Holloway and the fact second-leading scorer Mark Lyons fouled out with 11 1/2 minutes to play.

The plan sounded simple for the West Virginia men’s basketball team: The Mountaineers needed to shoot the ball well if they wanted to win in the Big East Conference.

Saturday, WVU finally put together one of its best performances of the season in its 8271 victory over DePaul.

“We passed the ball around a good bit and got open shots,” said forward John Flowers.

The Mountaineers shot 52.8 percent (28-for-53) from the field – their second highest shooting percentage of the season. Additionally, WVU shot 80 percent (20-for-25 from the free-throw line.

WVU finished with five players in double figures.

“Everybody on this team can make shots, but the quality of the shots before were bad,” said forward Deniz Kilicli. “When we share the ball, we are a hard team to guard.”

WVU scored 40 points in the paint.

“We were passing the ball, people were making layups and people were scoring,” said guard Truck Bryant. “It was

just a good night for us to get our confidence back up and to get us back on track.”

Although much of the offensive outburst could be attributed to the Mountaineers, Flowers was quick to point out DePaul’s poor defense as a reason for the team’s success.

“Offensively, we played pretty good, and we got pretty much anything we wanted,” Flowers said. “Then again, they are not the best defensive team.”

Despite its success offensively, WVU head coach Bob Huggins thought his team did not play up to its full potential on defense.

“We have to start guarding again,” Huggins said.

Flowers agreed with his head coach’s assessment of the team’s defensive play.

“I don’t like that they scored 71 points, and we should have held them to less than 70 points,” Flowers said.

“I didn’t like our defensive intensity. When we got up, we didn’t put them away, and we let them come back. It would have been better if we had put them away.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

WVU loses despite season-high score

By Sebouh Majarian Sports Writer

The West Virginia gymnastics team recorded a seasonhigh 195.1 score against No. 15 Ohio State Saturday.

Still, it was not enough to top the Buckeyes, who finished with a 195.6 score as WVU (64, 3-1 EAGL) dropped its second straight match to a ranked opponent.

The Buckeyes (4-2-1, 1-0-1 Big Ten Conference) won three events in the meet, improving to 15-11 all-time against the Mountaineers.

“Despite the mistakes we made, it was good to see us score as well as we did,” said WVU head coach Linda Burdette-Good.

The performance was the Mountaineers’ first 195.1-plus performance of the year. The team reached the mark three times last season.

West Virginia has improved its score in its last three matches.

“We are improving, and we have to continue to do that,” Burdette-Good said.

Ohio State scored victories on vault (49.15-49.125), bars (48.775-48.575) and floor (49.175-48.9). Both teams tied on beam, as they each scored 48.5 points.

The Buckeyes’ Melanie Shaffer finished first overall with a score of 39.325, while teammate Colleen Dean scored 39.225 and finished second overall.

Amy Bieski finished third overall with a season-high 39.2 in the all-around.

Bieski led the team on bars, as she matched her seasonhigh score of 9.8. The Nanticoke, Pa., native tied for first

place in the event with Dean.

WVU’s Nicole Roach and Kaylyn Millick also had strong performances. Roach scored a 9.775 while Millick recorded a 9.725.

West Virginia’s best score came in the second rotation on vault, as the Mountaineers scored a 49.125, just .25 away from matching their seasonhigh score on the event, which they set last weekend at Penn State.

After setting a career high score of 9.9 on vault against the Nittany Lions, sophomore Alaska Richardson scored a 9.875 Saturday. Bieski matched Richardson’s mark as the duo tied for second place in the event with Ohio State’s Sarah Miller.

West Virginia trailed Ohio State 97.925-97.7 heading into the third rotation – the floor – while WVU led by .175 points entering the beam.

Despite the team’s recent struggles on the event, three Mountaineer gymnasts finished with career high scores on the event.

Freshman Hope Sloanhoffer matched a career best and tied for first place with a 9.875 score.

Sophomores Arlene Hathaway and Chelsea Goldschrafe also had career high scores. Hathaway recorded a 9.725, while Goldschrafe opened the event with a 9.825.

The team scored a 48.9 on floor, led by Millick, who scored a 9.85 which was good for a three way tie for second place.

Sloanhoffer scored a 9.8 and finished in sixth place, while Richardson scored a careerbest 9.775.

tough man-to-man defense, shooting 43 percent from the field, including 7 for 27 from 3-point range. But the Hoyas made 16 of 18 free throws and held the Golden Eagles to 40 percent from the field.

Darius Johnson-Odom scored 20 points for Marquette (15-10, 6-6), which dropped back to .500 in the congested heart of the Big East. The Golden Eagles went 1-2 during a three-game road stretch.

Freeman accounted for four points in a 9-1 late second-half run that gave the Hoyas a little breathing room in a game that stayed closed throughout.

Freeman’s bank shot, Henry Sims’ three-point play and Freeman’s transition layup helped push the score to 59-50 with 4:50 to play, and Jason Clark’s two free throws with 3:43 remaining made it 61-51 – the only double-digit lead either team would have in the game.

Marquette pulled within three on Johnson-Odom’s steal and layup that made it 63-60 with 1:41 to go, but Julian Vaughn’s dunk started a game-ending 6-0 run for the Hoyas.

Freeman was hurt during a scramble for the ball with 1:31 remaining in the first half and could barely put any weight on his right foot as he limped to the locker room.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chris Wright scored 20 points, Austin Freeman added 17 despite limping badly off the court in the first half and No. 11 Georgetown survived the run-‘em-ragged strategy of Marquette coach Buzz Williams to win its eighth straight game, beating the Golden Eagles 69-60 Sunday.

The win moved the Hoyas (205, 9-4) into sole possession of third place in the Big East and kept alive their longest conference win streak since 2006-07.

WVU returns to Dome to face Orange

By Brian Kuppelweiser Sports Writer

The last time the West VirWest Virginia No. 13 Syracuse ginia men’s basketball team (16-8, 7-5) (20-6, 7-6) traveled to the Carrier Dome, it walked away with some of When: Tonight at 7 the greatest memories in team Where: Syracuse, N.Y. (Carrier Dome) TV: ESPN history.

Coverage: Check out The Daily AthenaeLast March, the Mountain- um’s Twitter (@dailyathenaeum) for ineers defeated Kentucky 73-66 to game updates. Read Monday’s edition advance to the Final Four in the for a full recap of the game.

2010 NCAA Tournament.

This time, however, WVU Syracuse. will be traveling to the Carrier Despite the memories made Dome for a Big East Confer- there, the Mountaineers want ence matchup against No. 12 only one thing – another con-

ference victory.

“It is a good court with a good environment,” said point guard Truck Bryant. “We are going to bring our ‘A’ game and hopefully walk away victorious.”

In order to do so, WVU will take on the Orange’s notorious 2-3 zone, which has helped Syracuse hold opponents to a 39.3 shooting percentage that ranks second in the league.

“The thing you can’t simulate is Syracuse’s length,” Huggins said. “I have Mike Carey’s son, Craig, doing a hell of a job for us, but he is not (Syracuse

forward) Ricky Jackson.”

The most important part of the Mountaineers’ game plan will be finding and making open shots, which is something that they have struggled to do all season long.

“We just don’t do a good job of getting ourselves easy baskets,” said head coach Bob Huggins.

The key to getting those open shots against the 2-3 zone will be having a play that can work in the middle of the Orange’s defense.

“If you have guy in the mid-

dle that can pass the ball and knock down shots, that is big,” said guard Dalton Pepper. “It will open up everything, because he can dish it down low or kick it out to the corner.”

Bryant agreed that attacking the middle of the zone will be crucial.

“I’m not saying the zone’s not tough, but it is not that bad,” Bryant said. “We have to get in the middle of the zone. If we get in the middle of the zone, we will do good for ourselves.”

One player that may fill that pivotal role is power forward

Deniz Kilicli.

“It is all about wide-open shots,” Kilicli said. “What happens now, when I get the ball inside, they start to collapse in, and I just dish the ball out.”

Kilicli said that breaking the zone will be important, but WVU must continue to play its stout brand of defensive basketball, as well.

“We have to guard them,” Kilicli said. “Even if we are not making shots, we can win games by defending.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

Women struggle offensively in 57-47 loss to Cards

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS WRITER

The No. 19 West Virginia women’s basketball team hasn’t won a road game since it beat Seton Hall on Jan. 5.

At times on Sunday, a good start by the Mountaineers made it look like that streak would be coming to an end.

But the Cardinals wouldn’t take a loss on their home court, coming away with a 5747 win over WVU. The Mountaineers (206, 6-6 Big East Conference) have now lost five of their last six games. They drop to ninth place in the Big East following the defeat.

“We played for about 25 minutes, and we quit executing on both ends,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey.

In the early part of the first half, the Cardinals (16-9, 7-4) started to give the Mountaineers fits with their full-court pressure, and forced WVU to commit three turnovers in the first five minutes of the game.

But, West Virginia was able to settle back in, and after falling behind by four points, it came back to have a five-point advantage.

Louisville wouldn’t go away

quietly, though, as it took a 23-22 lead into halftime.

With the game tied at 25, Louisville went on a run that gave it the lead for the remainder of the game. Sparked by three Shoni Schimmel 3-pointers, the Cardinals went on a 12-2 run over the course of the next six minutes.

Even more impressive about Louisville’s performance on Sunday – they were able to play so well without the services of the Big East Conference’s fourth-leading scorer Monique Reid.

The Cardinals coaching staff was unsure whether Reid would play after suffering an ankle injury during the team’s shootaround prior to the game on Sunday morning.

Reid did eventually enter the game with a little over eight minutes to play in the game, but was mostly a nonfactor, scoring four points.

While Louisville was good on the offensive end of the floor, that was the source of many of West Virginia’s problems on Sunday.

When the Mountaineers were attempting to make a run to cut the deficit down a little, they went on a dry spell from the field.

Center Asya Bussie’s layup, at 11:25 to go in the game, was the last time WVU would hit a field goal until a layup by forward Madina Ali almost five minutes later.

And the struggles lasted the entire game for West Virginia, not just in small spurts.

Guards Liz Repella and Sarah Miles – two of the Mountaineers’ better players on offense – shot a combined 3-for-21 and just seven points, and the team shot just 8 percent from the 3-point range.

One thing West Virginia was able to improve on compared to its last few games was rebounding.

After being outrebounded in three of its previous four games, Sunday was the second-straight game in which the Mountaineers were able to grab more rebounds than their opponents, besting the Cardinals 39-29.

West Virginia was led by Ali, who scored 12 points and made eight of nine free throws.

Schimmel led the Cardinals with 17 points, including some big shots in the second half. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Balanced WVU continues DePaul’s Big East nightmare Five Mountaineers score at least 10

BY BRIAN GAWTHROP ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

DePaul nearly overcame a 14-point deficit before losing to West Virginia 67-65 in Chicago on Jan. 4.

Despite a similar attempt to erase a 17-point Mountaineer lead Saturday, the result was the same. Five WVU players scored in double-figures as West Virginia topped the Blue Demons 82-71, handing DePaul its 24th straight Big East Conference regular season game.

“It had a very similar feel (to the Jan. 4 matchup),” said Debrooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum Paul head coach Oliver PurWest Virginia point guard Joe Mazzulla shoots a layup in the Mountaineer’s win Saturday. nell. “We were just chasing

a good basketball team. We made a couple shots late, but we couldn’t close the gap.”

The Blue Demons shot 63 percent from the field after halftime to cut the WVU lead to seven points with 2:33 remaining in the game, but couldn’t overcome West Virginia’s most balanced scoring attack against a Big East team this season.

Five Mountaineers finished in double-figure scoring while seven of the eight Mountaineers who played in the game scored at least eight points.

The only player who didn’t was senior Cam Thoroughman, who finished with a team-high six rebounds and five assists.

West Virginia registered 23 assists on its 28 field goals in the game. It was the most assists by a WVU team since the team’s 89-68 win over Seton

Hall in 2008.

“I thought we were really good until the end,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “By and large, we were much better. We passed it much better.”

West Virginia led throughout the game after jumping out to an 8-2 lead within the first two minutes. Nine of the Mountaineers’ first 19 points came from point guards Joe Mazzulla and Truck Bryant.

The pair combined for 23 points in the game and 12 assists in the game.

Flowers’ 15 led the Mountaineers while Deniz Kilicli and Mazzulla ended with 12. Bryant and Casey Mitchell each scored 11.

The Mountaineers’ bench outscored DePaul’s 32-15 while WVU shot 53 percent from the field and 46 percent from 3-point range. It was the

team’s best 3-point shooting game of the season.

“When we share the ball, we’re tough to defend,” Kilicli said.

West Virginia led throughout after taking the lead on back-to-back Joe Mazzulla layups. The Mountaineers ended the first half on an 11-6 run to take a 47-34 lead at halftime.

“They’re not the best defensive team, but we shared the ball and got open shots,” said WVU forward John Flowers.

“We pretty much got anything we wanted.”

Four DePaul players finished in double-figure scoring, led by Brandon Young’s 14 points on 4-of-6 shooting.

Jimmy Drew added 13 while Krys Faber and Tony Freeland each scored 11. brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu
