Halls to change overnight visitation Select halls will allow guest of opposite sex to spend the night by erin fitzwilliams associate city editor

A change in the overnight visitation policy for select residence halls at West Virginia University was announced Monday night during a Resident Hall Association meeting.

The new visitation policy will be in effect for Lincoln, Fieldcrest, Summit, Honors and Stalnaker halls beginning in the 2011 fall semester, said Trish Cendana, director of Residential Education.

“We’ve gotten feedback from RHA, hall councils and Student Government Association Speak Ups,” she said. “The biggest issue raised was overnight visitation.”

Cendana calls the policy “relaxed visitation,” in which opposite-sex guests are able to

stay overnight in the selected dorms.

The dorms chosen are suite or apartment style, Cendana said. The layout of the dorm’s rooms offer roommates a chance to feel more comfortable with a guest of the opposite sex since there are separate rest rooms and living spaces.

“We’re taking baby steps. We wanted to try it in Pierpont for a full year and then get feedback,” she said. “We want to make sure students have options; some students may not

want this.”

Last year, Pierpont Hall was chosen by the University as a pilot for the policy because it has suite-style living.

Pierpont Hall students who were surveyed had good feedback with few concerns.

In Pierpont, different gender guests still had to abide by standard visitation policy rules, such as signing in guests and getting proper documentation.

“Towers could be a possibility, but it has a unique situation, and we need to work with it,”

Remembering those lost

she said.

Visitation for guests under 18 years of age will continue to require parental permission to stay in the dorms; however, Cendana said she is open to looking into possibly tweaking the guidelines in the future.

The use of the new guest tracking computer system, which was piloted in Summit Hall in the fall, has helped Resident Assistants keep track of who has been signed in with a guest pass, Cendana said.

State Trooper G.P. Herrenberger salutes as a hearse carrying the remains of slain deputy marshall Derek Hotsinpiller leaves the Simpson Creek Baptist Church, Monday in Bridgeport, W.Va. Hotsinpiller was killed and two colleagues were injured Feb. 16 while trying to serve a warrant in Elkins, W.Va.

More than 2,000 mourners gather at funeral for W.Va. marshal CITY EDITOR

Nearly 2,000 mourners gathered Monday at a funeral service held for slain U.S. Marshal Derek Hotsinpiller.

Hotsinpiller, 24, from Bridgeport, W.Va., was killed Feb. 16 while trying to serve a warrant in Elkins to Charles E. Smith.

Smith, 50, was wanted on charges for the intent to distribute cocaine. Two of Hotsinpiller’s colleagues were injured during the shooting, and Smith was also killed.

The marshals were wearing protective vests as they entered the house, but Hotsinpiller was shot in the neck, and doctors couldn’t save him after he was rushed into surgery at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown.

“He was the type of per-

son that if you met him once, he would go out of his way to talk to you,” said Quinn W y m e r, HotsinpillDerek Hotsinpiller er’s friend since their sophomore year of high school. “He was the type of person everyone just gravitated towards.”

A line with a three-hour wait formed during a Sunday viewing consisting of his friends, family and those coming to pay their respects.

Bridgeport is a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other, Wymer said. The large turnout to his services was no surprise,

Students experienced difficulty getting from the Evansdale Campus to Downtown Feb. 15, when the Beechurst PRT shut down several times for as long as 30 minutes each time.

The PRT’s longest outage was caused by a broken power arm to one of the cars, said Hugh Kierig, director of West Virginia University’s Transportation and Parking.

“The power arms collect power from the power rail, which gives the car the power to move,” Kierig said. “When one breaks, the entire system shuts down.”

There were also two more outages lasting more than 30 minutes combined due to computer problems.

“This is a function of the equipment being so old and needing to be rebooted,” Kierig said. “We are dealing with

Five of Morgantown’s seven City Council seats will be contested during April’s elections.

The city is divided into seven wards with each ward being represented. While five seats are being challenged in this election, it is not uncommon for most if not all incumbents to be unchallenged.

“One year all I had was the people that were on City Council with none contested,” said Linda Little, Morgantown city clerk.

She said candidates had to file their petition with signatures from 75 registered voters

by Feb. 14.

Candidates for the first ward are George Papandreas and incumbent Ron Bane. Papandreas is currently on the Morgantown Board of Zoning Appeals. The first ward includes 2,119 registered voters in the southern part of Morgantown from the Wharf to U.S. Route 119 and Greenbag Road, according to the city’s website.

Kierig estimated approximately 60 percent to 70 percent of downtimes are caused by computer failures, while between 30 percent and 35 percent is accredited to loss of power of the cars themselves.

WVU applied for a federal grant for the Federal Transit Administration to upgrade the PRT vehicles, its guideway and technology used in its operation.

“The grant will require some discussions with West Virginia’s Congressional Delegation so we can try to find money to be dedicated towards the PRT,” Kierig said.

The Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources of Design at West Virginia University hosted a presentation for faculty and students to assess the third and final candidate for college dean on Monday.

Soji Adelaja, a professor from Michigan State University, outlined his goals and objectives as potential Dean of the Davis College and responded to questions from faculty and students.

Adelaja earned both of his master’s and his doctoral degree from WVU. He said his interest in the deanship is because it is the Davis College, which he feels a “very

strong affinity for.”

“I think that WVU is one of the best kept secrets in higher education,” he said.

Adelaja said he drew on his experience as professor and administrator at both Rutgers University and MSU when thinking of his vision for WVU. “I believe academic institutions need to become more visible, bolder,” he said.

He believes WVU has a great responsibility as a land grant institution as well as a greater and more unique opportunity for education, he said.

“Where possible, a landgrant university must go beyond the standard and

“I’m very close friends with a lot of students in my year who are from Bridgeport, and a lot of them are having a hard time,” Rogers said.

“I knew Derek, but I wasn’t as close to them as they were.

He also believes in shared governance, and hopes to “demystify” the deanship by being a partner and leader, rather than just a manager, he said.

“It’s difficult to say what anyone will do, but he seems to be a person who will listen, which I think is important,” said William Bryan, a Davis College professor of agronomy.

Candidates were also asked to meet with President James P. Clements, Provost Michele Wheatly, campus leaders, Davis dean’s

office administrators, University deans and the search committee.

The new dean will be in place by July 1, succeeding former dean Cameron Hackney.

“West Virginia needs a strong agricultural, environmental, forest, national resource and design college to deliver innovative science and new generations of leaders, growers, producers, businesspeople and scientists,” Adelaja said. “I believe I am ready for this position.”

In honor of Black History Month, the Eta Omicron Chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority at West Virginia University will be hosting the “Finer Womanhood Week.”

The weeklong events are aimed to bring attention to both African American and women’s history through various fundrasing activities.

On Monday, an awareness booth was set up in the Mountainlair to benefit the West Virginia Chapter of the March of Dimes.

“March of Dimes brings awareness for women who are pregnant to look for warning signs and ways to take care of your child,” said Katherine Morgan, president of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority.

March of Dimes is a national foundation that encourages people to walk-in, march to help raise money, and give babies a healthy start to their lives.

The March of Dimes uses 77 cents of every dollar that people raise to support research programs that assist mothers during full-term pregnancies, according to its website. Each spring, participants walk during a “march.”

“I participated in the walk during the spring of 2009. I’ve attended every year since,” Morgan said.

This year’s race takes place, April 16 at Krepps Park in Morgantown.

“To me, it’s amazing to see all the teen pregnancies that occur even with all the prevention available to people,” Morgan said. “Programs like this give people information that can benefit them in the future when it pertains to their bodies.”

Students should give to the organization because they should be involved in socialoriented causes that help the community and their fellow man, said WVU graduate student Tiffany Ford, parlimentarian and March of Dimes coordinator for the sorority.

For Wednesday and Friday, another March of Dimes booth will be set up in the Mountainlair from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.

On Thursday, there will be a spaghetti fundrasing dinner at E. Moore Hall from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Last semester, the RHA transportation committee was informed WVU has applied for a federal grant to update the PRT’s computer systems.

The PRT was last updated when WVU made some minor structural changes during the summer of 2009. The system was closed down to make repairs to the railing and bridge portions of the PRT track.

“Our primary need is to update the train control system,” Kierig said. “The track itself is sound. We did a structural assessment two years ago on the track and the consultants said the track itself operates well.”

An update for the grant will be available by the end of the semester.

City council elections will use the vote by mail pilot program this year. Voters will receive their ballots in the mail rather than visiting polling sta-

“Citizens should receive their ballot at home from April 8 to the 12. They have 18 days to mail it back from then,” Little said.

“It surprises me, but I’m so pleased. We’ll keep pushing for more halls, but not all,” Campione said. “Students need a choice on whether they want overnight visitors or not.”

Campione has worked on the visitation policy survey and compiled data on students’ opinions. He said it was his number one concern to change visitation policies on campus.

Jones’ progress noticed

WVU doesn’t Huggins says junior forward has need a leading worked hard to improve offense scorer

By Brian Kuppelweiser

West Virginia’s win over then-No. 8 Notre Dame Saturday saw the continuation of another awkward statistic surrounding this year’s Mountaineer team.

Truck Bryant broke out of his near two-month slump, scoring 24 points to lead WVU to the win.

Bryant scoring 24 or carrying the team’s offense on his back isn’t a surprise, however.

Instead, for the fifth time in the past five games, WVU had a different leading scorer.

Shocked? You shouldn’t be.

After all, it was clear entering the season that West Virginia wasn’t going to have its standout scorer after losing Da’Sean Butler to the NBA. Kevin Jones was expected to fill that role but instead has been quieted by opposing defenses.

He’s only led the team in scoring six times this season, compared to him accomplishing the feat 10 times on a more offensively talented team last year.

It’s been a scorer-by-committee scenario for head coach Bob Huggins in 2011.

Six players have led the team in scoring in a game thus far, all having accomplished the feat more than once.

During the Mountaineers’ Final Four run a season ago, seven players led the team in scoring in a game, but only Jones, Butler, Devin Ebanks and Wellington Smith did it more than once.

West Virginia didn’t even go three games a season ago without either Jones or Butler finishing at the top of the team’s box score.

Offensively, West Virginia is a polar opposite team. That’s been said before.

But just because the team doesn’t have a go-to scorer and relies on a different player to produce offensively every night, doesn’t

BIG EAST STANDINGS

Sports Writer

Following the West Virginia men’s basketball team’s 72-58 victory over then-No. 8 Notre Dame on Saturday, point guards Truck Bryant and Joe Mazzulla stole the show.

Media members flocked to the two players after they combined for 40 points in the upset of the Fighting Irish.

Forward Kevin Jones, who recorded his fifth doubledouble in the win, sat quietly on his stool and spoke to the few media members who didn’t surround Bryant and Mazzulla.

However, Jones’ 14-point and 10-rebound performance didn’t go unnoticed by his head coach. “(Jones) has really put a lot of time in trying to figure out how to make some shots.

He goes in and works,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “He is such a great kid, and he knows when he is not playing well.”

It’s no secret Jones has struggled to make shots this season.

While his scoring and rebounding numbers haven’t dropped significantly this season, Jones has struggled to be as efficient as he was a year ago.

Last season, Jones shot 53 percent from the field and 40 percent from beyond the arc. This year, he’s shooting 44 percent from the field and just 25 percent from the 3-point range.

The most significant slip has come from the freethrow line. His percentage from the charity stripe has dropped 11 percent from last season.

“I just had to go back to the drawing board with everything and start over,” Jones said. “You have to be real positive and make sure everyone around you is positive.”

*The top four seeds receive double byes in the Big East Conference Tournament. Teams that finish 5 through 8 receive a first-round bye.

With the falling percentages being held over him, the junior forward was fighting a battle in his mind.

“Shooting is more of a mental thing than anything else,” Jones said. “If you haven’t had a couple good games in a row, then you get in your mind that you are playing really bad.”

The mental battle seemed to be getting the best of Jones, but it was a conversation with Bryant that may have set the wheels in motion for a return to last season’s form.

“Truck and I were talking, and we said we had to step up in order for our team to be successful,” Jones said. “You just want to play well, especially for your teammates and the fans, so I had to get into the gym and get into a regular shooting routine.”

For Huggins, it was no surprise to see Jones in the gym working hard on getting back his shot rhythm.

Along with watching Jones try to regain his old form, Huggins threw in some of his usual motivational tricks.

“I told him what I told everyone else, working hard doesn’t guarantee success, but you have a lot better chance,” Huggins said. “You have to get in and shoot the

With that being said, Jones knows he must continue to work in the gym as the Mountaineers close out the season with four of their toughest games. Three of their last four games – at Pittsburgh, at Rutgers, vs. Connecticut and vs. Louisville – in the regular season come against top25 teams.

“We know it is going to be a tough stretch,” Jones said.

“These are going to be the biggest games of the season for us.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

Lawmakers should ensure fair work places It is the right of every American to experience a safe workplace.

People gathered at the West Virginia State Capitol Monday to show support for two bill, intending to add sexual orientation to the list of civil rights provided by the state.

Sam Hall, a former Massey Energy employee, shared his experience about the harassment he received as a gay coal miner in West Virginia.

“If the labor laws would have been amended earlier

to contain sexual orientation discrimination, myself as well as other gay West Virginians would not have to endure such demeaning and inexcusable behavior from employers and employees at the workplace,” Hall said.

Lawmakers must move toward legislation that will ensure all citizens a fair and safe working environment; Acting Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, and Delegate Barbara Fleischauer, D-Monongalia, are working toward that

goal.

“Opposing this bill means you are for discrimination,” Fleischauer told the crowd.

According to a story by WV metronews.com,the president of the West Virginia Family Foundation, Kevin McCoy, said the bill was a “catastrophe.”

“We’re going to stand against it,” McCoy said. “We’re going to go after these lawmakers in their districts. Anybody who votes for this horrible bill, they’re not fit for office and they’re void of any moral

turpitudes.”

What the WVFF needs to realize is that our lawmakers are supposed to create legislation that will equally protect all citizens.

The bill doesn’t force homosexuality on anyone; it is to defend basic rights. If it is a “family” organization, then it should promote peace, not hate.

Every time civil rights have been won, there have always been similar oppositions.

Throughout history, the side in

support of hate and discrimination always ends up on the losing side.

Fleischauer also ridiculed the group for using the Bible to defend discrimination. “As I recall, the Bible was used to justify slavery.

The Bible was used to justify control over women by their husbands,” she said.

The state Senate must keep pushing and fight for a society that is equal and just.

Health insurance companies should care about the people Jarrod Barry correspondent

A study in the August 2009 issue of the American Journal of Medicine showed that nearly two-thirds of bankruptcies were due to excessive medical costs. These families, on average, had nearly $18,000 in out-of-pocket medical expenses.

If you think having insurance will keep you safe, think again – more than three quarters of these families had health insurance. So if you happen to be one of the 50 million Americans without insurance, don’t feel bad -The other half isn’t in any better shape than you.

Nobody seemed happy with last year’s notorious health care law. The debate was venomous, spiteful and, at times, very personal. Even as the dust settled, the final law left a sour taste in everyone’s mouths.

One side thought it was the first step towards socialism; the other thought it didn’t go far enough. And if you’re like me, you’d think it missed one of the core problems in America’s health care system – the insurance companies themselves.

Some industries are too crucial to be entrusted to private corporations, and it’s time we question if health insurance is one of them. The flaw is in their very design. These health insurance corporations represent an inherent conflict of interest.

On one hand, they’re corporations whose main purpose is

to make money. On the other, they’re responsible for providing health coverage (and thus, treatment) for the rest of us.

Unfortunately, these two responsibilities are often mutually exclusive.

Let’s say I open a burger joint: Barry’s Burgers. My goal, of course, is to get as many people to buy my burgers as possible. I don’t care who they are or why they’re buying my burgers. I make a profit for each burger I sell, so the more people who buy my burgers, the greater my profit.

Health insurance works a bit differently. When I buy health insurance, I’m paying for a service I may never use, or at least won’t use right away. Essentially, I’m paying for the company’s guarantee that they’ll cover any medical costs I incur.

They’re selling me a service with the hope I’ll never use it, and they lose money every time I do.

Because of this, insurance corporations don’t want just anyone buying their insurance. They only make money by having disproportionately more healthy people paying into their system than there are sick people being paid out of it.

They only have an incentive to sell their product to certain types of people – namely, those who they don’t think are likely to get sick anytime in the future.

They only want healthy people purchasing their product, and they have no incentive to cover people they deem more likely to get sick, such as the elderly those with pre-existing conditions.

Of course, these are the peo-

ple most in need of health insurance. Furthermore, since covering subscribers’ bills (you know, the service they’re supposed to be providing to begin with) costs them money, they have little incentive to do that, either. Many insurance companies have an entire staff on payroll to do nothing more than sift through expensive claims in search of loopholes to get the company out of paying them.

What other industry employs whole teams to sit around and find reasons not to provide the service the company was paid to provide in the first place?

It’s not as if the customers have any power to change the system, either.

Most people have their insurance provided by employers, so there’s no opportunity to shop and compare other plans, a major tenant of capitalism that helps keep costs down.

Not that it matters, anyway, since most people can’t afford to buy their own insurance, which costs upwards of $10,000 per family per year.

Ease and economics force people to purchase health care through employers, eliminating the key element of competitiveness that keeps costs lower in other industries.

Think $15 for a doublecheeseburger at Barry’s Burgers is too expensive? You can always go and buy your cheeseburgers elsewhere.

Unless, as in health insurance, your employer is paying half of the cost for your burgers, and the minimum cost of the next cheapest burger is $30.

During a 2004 meeting in Chicago, then-Senator Barack Obama unveiled a plan to help small business owners provide health insurance for their employees. Seven years later, the Obama administration is still working toward this goal.

Then you either buy my double-cheeseburger or go without one altogether. And who can afford to risk going without double-cheeseburgers these days?

Of course, if I don’t want burgers, I can go buy seafood or Italian.

But everyone gets sick sooner or later, and everyone

needs to go to the doctor at some point. It’s inevitable. The notion that someone should be able to make money off such a necessity is something acceptable only in America (which might explain why we’re the only western country without universal health care).

All of this leads me to believe nationalized health care is in-

evitable and necessary. I have no doubt I’ll see it in my lifetime – unless, of course, I get heart disease from too many Double-Bacon Barry’s Burgers, in which case my insurance will probably turn down my claim and leave me to die in the streets.

But, I guess that’s what I get for owning a burger restaurant.

Flickr is not only a social media site, it is also a career builder Matt sunday columnist

In a world that is being rapidly dominated by social media, what is the best outlet for a photographer to showcase their work?

Which online portfolio gives a photographer the most practical way of reaching as many prospective employers as they can?

In short, the answer is Flickr – no matter the level of the photographer.

For those who don’t know, Flickr is a video and image hosting website.

There are a lot of options when beginning a digital portfolio. Sites such as Google’s Picasa, Behance and even Photoshop provide the photographer

the option to freely display photographs in their digital, and these days, natural, form.

All of these sites, along with Flickr, offer a common service; albeit in different ways, the aforementioned options are rather equal in their ability to show off pictures. With that said, what ,then, sets Flickr apart?

The first reason is the ability to “reach” on Flickr. Of all the photography sites, Flickr does the best job of helping people find pictures. One of the first ways this is accomplished is through the tagging system.

When a user uploads a photograph, they can add tags to their photos. Similar to how they are used in the blogosphere, tags are identifiers that can help anyone find photos of a specific nature.

Utilizing tags will immediately attract attention to a member’s photographs.

The next step in extending a

photograph’s virtual reach is to join groups.

Groups are made up of users holding similar photographic interests, and they allow users to contribute work to a group “pool.”

Newest additions to the pool are displayed for group visitors and members to see, and can be found in a “stream” of the group’s pictures unless, they are removed. By adding photos to groups and properly tagging them, photographers can reach a whole new audience within minutes.

The second and most important reason is Flickr’s ability to help people find people. While users are finding photos, they are being introduced to the photographer who took them.

That person is introduced to the photo they stumbled upon, that user’s photo-stream, any group pools that it belongs to and any favorite photos the

photographer may have selected from other Flickr users.

This user now has the ability to comment on any photo he or she views, favorite it and add the photographer as a contact.

Creating contacts helps people get updates on their favorite community members and photographers.

Hopefully this has helped the user who did the searching, and it surely increased the photographer’s exposure – the key reason for joining Flickr to begin with.

Thirdly, users can participate in discussion forums built around the groups they join.

Photographers use these forums to share ideas, talk about gear, critique work, ask questions and ultimately become better behind the lens.

Any intelligent person will admit it isn’t always the answer that matters, but the ability to find it.

These forums help photogra-

phers find the answer they are looking for.

An often-overlooked reason to join Flickr is the relationship that Yahoo, Flickr’s parent company, has with Getty Images, the leading stock photography source.

With the switch of a setting, a photographer can make their photo appear as licensable to the Getty team.

This means a photographer can be approached by Getty Images at any time about licensing one of their photos.

Like most free services, there is also a paid option for Flickr.

By going “pro,” a photographer can eliminate their upload allowance, gain unlimited photo storage, view statistics and gain the undoubtedly cool “pro” vanity logo that sits next to their user name.

The lifted restrictions are nice, but the big bonus to the upgrade is the ability to view

photo statistics.

The stats page shows a line graph that tells a subscriber how many views their photos have received each day.

The views are broken down from account total to each photo, which allows a photographer to tell where they are receiving attention, as well as how the photo was found. At $24.95 yearly, a pro membership to Flickr, combined with some effort, will pay for itself at least tenfold.

Even at the free level, Flickr is the best option at creating contacts and merging an online portfolio with social media. Flickr isn’t only worth a test run; it is worth a full-blown commitment from any and every photographer.

In a business based on relationships, a photographer should never turn down free publicity – especially when Flickr makes it so easy.

women’s basketball

WVU tries for quality win tonight vs. No. 8 Irish

By John Terry Multimedia Editor

The newly ranked No. 19 West Virginia women’s basketball team has struggled to score and play defense at the same time this season.

The Mountaineers (21-6, 7-6 Big East Conference) are coming off a season-best 90-point performance against Pittsburgh.

But, they allowed the Panthers to score 79 points – the most of any opponent this season.

“We finally scored over 50, and we haven’t given up over 60 for about a year, and then we gave up 80. So, now I have to work on our defense again,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “If we can just put it together, get our offense going with our defense, we’ll be a good team.”

Carey will need his team to put it together fast, as it hosts No. 8 Notre Dame (22-5, 11-2) tonight at 7 at the WVU Coliseum.

The Irish have lost five games this season, but all were to ranked opponents. The Irish fell to then-No.15 UCLA in double-overtime in November, and three days later lost to then-No. 9 Kentucky by five on the road.

Notre Dame has since fallen to top-ranked Connecticut twice, and once to No. 3 Baylor in Waco, Texas.

“They’re a very solid basketball team,” Carey said. “They have size. Their guards are not super quick, but they are very strong and physical and show a lot of looks defensively.

“We can compete with them.”

The Mountaineers, who were the No. 2 seed in last year’s Big East Tournament, have to finish the season undefeated in order to have a shot at the No. 4 seed.

Being a top-four seed in the Big East Tournament comes with a double-bye while being a No. 5 through No. 8 seed comes with a first-round bye.

Entering tonight’s game, the Mountaineers are lined up as the No. 8 seed. Even though Carey would like to have that double-bye, he said he doesn’t really put much stock into Big

Scouting the Irish — The Irish have lost five games this season, but all were to the hands of ranked opponents, including two times to No. 1 UConn and once to No. 3 Baylor.

— Notre Dame holds a dominating 17-2 advantage in the all-time series against the Mountaineers. West Virginia’s lone wins came in 2008 and 2005 – both times holding the Irish to below 51 points, the two lowest point totals by Notre Dame in the series.

— Notre Dame has the fifth-ranked scoring offense in the nation, which boasts three players averaging double-figure scoring this season.

East seedings.

“The NCAA’s are a lot more important than the Big East,” Carey said. “We went to the Big East Championship last year, but we still got beat in the second round.”

The Irish enter tonight’s game with the fifth-best offensive attack in the nation, scoring 80.1 points per game. West Virginia has scored at least 80 points just five times this season and is averaging just 66.7 points per game.

“They’re pretty balanced,” Carey said. “All three guards can push the break. I saw some tapes where their guards will just throw you out of the way, so they are really physical.”

Notre Dame, who is 17-2 alltime against the Mountaineers, has three players averaging double-figure scoring. Natalie No-

vosel leads the way, scoring 14. 8 points per game. Skylar Diggins, who scored 15 points in Notre Dame’s 74-66 win a year ago, is averaging 14.1 per game, and is the catalyst of the Irish attack.

“Diggins is a very good basketball player and has a green light,” Carey said. “She can drive, can post-up and can shoot the three. She has good size and is aggressive.”

Six-foot-two forward Devereaux Peters scored 11.2 points and leads the team with 7.1 rebounds.

Despite giving up a seasonhigh 70 points to Pittsburgh on Saturday, West Virginia still has the nation’s third-best scoring defense, surrendering just 50.1 points per game.

“We didn’t play the defense that we wanted to play (against Pittsburgh),” said senior guard

and captain Liz Repella. “We that his team was so aggressive have to pressure them when on the offensive end. they’re on offense.”

“Sometimes we’re so aggressive on the defensive end, we Miles back to old self just come stand around on the Senior point guard Sarah offensive end,” he said. “Even Miles is coming off of a nine- if we give up some defense, we assist, one-turnover perfor- have to be aggressive on the ofmance against Pittsburgh Sat- fensive end.” urday.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

night: Get some much-needed exercise.

BORN TODAY This year, you have a strong sense of direction. If you use your ability to empathize and understand, expansion and success will greet you. Don’t allow restrictions to impose on your thought process. Travel and education could mark the next 12 months. A foreigner also could have a similar impact on your life. If you are single, you’ll meet someone quite different. Follow your intuition with a relationship, whether single or attached. Attached Fish need to let go of their anger. SCORPIO can be a real door-opener.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Your creativity seems like a never-ending well. Your sixth sense and intuition pinnacle as well. If your inner voice says something, follow through, unless you could cause yourself trouble. A partner is changing rapidly. Tonight: Just because it is Tuesday doesn’t mean you cannot have fun.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Fortunately, you adjust easily as you work through tension, anxiety and stress with movement. So when did you last go for a walk? A partner is full of energy and feedback. Words said might not be meant to wound, but they do. Tonight: Share with a friend or loved one over dinner.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Close associations at the workplace, gym or any other place you frequent regularly could be more important than you would like.

Success occurs because of your ability to understand where someone is coming from. You don’t feel challenged by this person’s strong personality. Tonight: Out and about.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH An easy pace works, and, yes, you will accomplish what you need to, perhaps even more. Without stress and tension, you complete your tasks with speed. Answers come forth spontaneously in a conversation. Listen to your inner voice. To-

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Don’t worry about others and their reactions. Follow through on what needs to be done with a key partnership. Others could react, but ultimately you only need to answer to yourself. A project unrelated to work could be most rewarding.

Tonight: At home.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH You might want to understand what is happening within your immediate circle, but also look to those you don’t know well. If there is a crankiness, consider the fact that it might be well justified. Honor your decisions. Tonight: Where the action is.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Curb a need to handle certain situations a certain way. Instead, get more facts. Money might be an important factor, but so is the quality of your life. Real estate, family and domestic matters come forward.

Deal with them. Tonight: Be sage. Use wisdom.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You know when the wind is blowing in your direction. You gain favor and attention without making the slightest ges-

ture. Understand what is going on behind the scenes. Realize that you need to establish a better rapport with a child or loved one. Why not start now? Tonight: An endless number of options appear.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You have what it takes to make inroads.

Take time for fact-gathering and -checking. Your ability to cut through a problem emerges later this week. Your strength comes from knowing when to pull back.

Tonight: Do for you.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH A meeting has an impact. A feistiness arises during discussions. Realize how close to the surface your feelings are. Once you get to the gist of the issue, you might want to revise some of your ideas. Tonight: Where the action is.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You are in the limelight once more. You see what goes on with others. Help mobilize others, but know that there is only so much you can do.

Carrier dominates Big East Champs WVU loses to Cal U Senior breaks records, named conference’s Most Outstanding Field Athlete

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

West Virginia senior track and field star Chelsea Carrier has another accolade to add to her record-setting 2011 campaign.

She was named the Big East Conference’s Most Outstanding Field Athlete at conference championships over the weekend after winning two conference titles.

“Carrier has been absolutely incredible this season,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “She, again, broke a school record and is running as well as I have ever seen.”

Carrier won titles in the 60-meter hurdles and the pentathalon.

Carrier’s pentathlon title, which set a school record, marks just the second time in conference history a runner took the title in an event for two-straight years.

The last to do it was Charmaine Walker (Villanova 2000-01).

Carrier broke the WVU 60-meter hurdle record again Saturday in the Big East Championship preliminary round.

She finished the race in a school-best time of 8.15.

Sunday, Carrier finished the 60-meter hurdles in 8.17, giving her the Big East title in the event.

The Mountaineers finished in fifth-place overall as a team.

WVU finished with 66 points, while Louisville finished first with 110 points, followed by Connecticut in second (108.5), Villanova in third (86) and Georgetown in

necessarily mean the team is worse off than a year ago.

In fact, down the stretch of the season, and especially in tournament play when there is less time to prepare for opponents, the Mountaineers may be better off.

How do opposing teams prepare for WVU’s balanced scoring? Who do opposing

West Virginia senior track star Chelsea Carrier competes in the 60-meter hurdles earlier this season. fourth (80).

“To say I’m happy after finishing fifth would be a lie and would send the wrong message,” Cleary said. “But, I am very proud of this team. We competed with a purpose and had some really nice

showings.”

WVU captured one other individual conference title over the weekend, as junior Jessica O’Connell won the Mountaineers’ third conference title in the 3,000-meter run, finishing with a time of

9:21.09.

“It was a nice showing by our whole group,” Cleary said.

“I think we left it out on the track this weekend, and that is all I can ask for.”

teams key on stopping?

The Irish attempted to shut down all passing lanes to Kevin Jones on Saturday.

Yet, doing so only opened up room for Joe Mazzulla to drive to the bucket, which then allowed Bryant to get open for outside shots.

No player on this year’s team can come close to being able to score in multiple ways like Butler could.

But if each player played his own small role in the of-

fense like the Mountaineers did Saturday, this team has potential to be dangerous.

Bryant, Jones, Casey Mitchell, Deniz Kilicli and even Joe Mazzulla and John Flowers can score 15 points on any given night.

Five of them have led the team in scoring in the team’s seven games against ranked opponents.

In comparison, Butler led the Mountaineers in scoring in seven of the team’s 11

games against ranked opponents last year.

This team doesn’t struggle to score because it doesn’t have scorers. It struggles offensively because it can’t find and hit open shots.

That’s the only way this scorer-by-committee way of offensive production is going to work for the Mountaineers.

Saturday proved how impressive it could actually be.

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

After snapping a threematch losing streak last Wednesday against Pittsburgh, the West Virginia tennis team fell to California (Pa.) on Sunday, 4-3.

It marked the Mountaineers’ fourth loss in their past six matches.

“We lost to a good Division-II group,” said Mountaineer head coach Tina Samara of the Vulcans, which are ranked No. 8 in Division II. “But, we should have won this one. They were a very beatable team, but we just beat ourselves.”

The Mountaineers (26, 1-1 Big East Conference) won the first doubles point, as the team of junior Veronica Cardenas and sophomore Mary Chupa took the match 8-5 over Cal U. The Vulcans took the next two matches, however, to capture the doubles point.

WVU sophomores Emily Mathis and Liv Pettersson lost 8-4 and teammates senior Ashley Pilsbury and freshman Melis Tanik were defeated 8-6.

It looked as if West Virginia was poised to bounce back after it won its next three matches.

But, it wasn’t to be.

Chupa took the first singles victory in the No. 3 singles position in straight sets (6-2, 6-2).

Mathis, in the No. 2 singles spot, took down her Cal U counterpart in two sets (61, 6-4), while No. 5 player Pilsbury grabbed a threeset comeback win (5-7, 7-5, 11-9).

“

We lost to a good Division-II group. But we should have won this one.

They were a beatable team, but we just beat ourselves.”

– Tina Samara, WVU head coach “They (Cal) seemed to come out with much more intensity than us,” Samara said. “They did everything they needed to win, and it seemed like some of our girls didn’t even show up.”

The Mountaineers blew their 3-1 lead after losing their final three matches.

“It was a frustrating match, but we will be forced to learn from it,” Samara said. “We have to use this experience to learn and improve for this year. We just have to stay focused and make sure we are completely committed to winning.”

West Virginia will have to get over the close loss before it travels to Syracuse, N.Y., this weekend to face Big East Conference foes Villanova and Syracuse.

The Mountaineers will then go out of conference to face Duquesne in Pittsburgh on March 9.

“We have two big matches this weekend, and it is important we come out ready to battle,” Samara said. derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

Daily Athenaeum Summer Editor-In Chief and Summer Managing Editor (Paid Student Positions)

Randy Olson Author of Don’t Be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style

“A Super-Human Tale of Science Communication” Wednesday, February 23, 2011 6:00 p.m.

Mountainlair Ballrooms West Virginia University In an age of information overload, the communication challenge is even greater for science.

Drawing on communication theory, storytelling dynamics, and his own observations from a career in science, Olson makes the case that while accuracy is forever important, a priority must be made by the science community to grab the attention of the general public.

Randy Olson, a scientist-turned-filmmaker, is known for his feature-length documentaries, “A Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus” and “Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy.” He earned his PhD in 1984 from Harvard University and performed post-doctoral work through the Australian Institute of Marine Science and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. During his tenure as a professor of marine biology at the University of New Hampshire, he became interested in telling stories about science through the medium of film.

The Gluck Theatre in the Mountainlair will be showing Randy Olson’s documentary feature-length film: “A Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus” Tuesday, February 22 7:00 p.m.

Mountainlair Gluck Theatre The film screening and lecture are free and open to the public.

LEGAL NOTICES

TOUCHSTONE PICTURES

Alex Pettyfer plays John Smith, an alien from the planet Lorien, in ‘I Am Number Four.’

FOUR

Continued from page 10 planet, Lorien, to escape the murderous Mogadorians.

He’s protected by a Guardian (Timothy Olyphant) – a Lorien soldier who’s sole purpose is to keep Smith alive.

Together they flee towns across America as Smith becomes too recognizable for his own good and as the Mogadorians begin to hunt him down.

Of course, what with all our social media and Internet, that’s becoming increasingly difficult.

Not making things any easier are his adolescent hormones.

Because he’s on Earth, and for reasons not really dwelled on in the movie, Loriens apparently look like humans and therefore develop feelings for the opposite sex.

This is an odd development, considering the Mogadorians are distinctly inhuman, with a lot of screen time spent pointing this out, with close-ups of their fish-gill noses and tattooed heads.

Unfortunately, “I Am Number Four” is a movie let down by its trailer.

I’m not familiar with the book series it was based on, nor do I care to read more into it.

The movie sounded like it had an interesting premise: A guy with supernatural powers is on the run.

Unfortunately, much of the movie is spent with Smith chasing love and largely ignoring the fact he’s trying to hide himself from a disastrous fate.

There’s so much build up to the eventual coupling of Smith and the likable Sarah (Dianna Agron) that you kind of forget there’s any threat whatsoever.

He’s also apparently read a few “Twilight” novels, because the first place any troubled creature should go to hide is high school.

Don’t be fooled by the trailer – this is a romance story at heart. For that, I can’t recommend it to anyone wanting to see a supernatural adventure.

The plot often suffers at its romantic nature, relegating it to a teen paranormal romance – the likes we’ve all seen before.

create the piece,” Satake said.

Every work featured in the first and third floor galleries has been made within the Spring semester.

The second floor features photographs from the WVU ceramics program at the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute.

Photos chronicle experiences through the Division’s summer program, which sends students to China to learn firsthand from skilled artisans in the town of Jingdezhen.

The town has a population of 1.2 million, with as many as 400,000 residents involved in the ceramics trade.

“We bring in all these master Chinese artisans who teach them all the traditional Chinese techniques that aren’t

A&E editor

Ceramics and other creative works by West Virginia University students are currently on display at Zenclay.

Approximately 85 works ranging from pottery, sculptures, drawings and photography are all available to view at the gallery, located at 2862 University Ave. Student work is available on all three floors of the gallery, said Shoji Satake, assistant professor and ceramics area coordinator of the Division of Art and Design at the College of Creative Arts.

“The students also have drawings and pictures that show the research they do to

taught here,” Satake said. “(Students) meet these worldfamous artists they wouldn’t ordinarily get to meet.”

Pieces are available for sale now, with all funds helping provide scholarships to the summer trips to China.

Satake encouraged community members to stop by and enjoy the work.

“There’s a lot of sweat equity getting those displays in. I think (the students) did a really terrific job,” he said.

“There’s some really good pieces. If people get a chance to go, it would be great to support a great, local establishment and see some great student work.” david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

MAC hosts pottery exhibit ‘Metamorphic Revolutions’ by ashlie walter

There was once a time when aliens terrified us.

When “War of the Worlds” was first broadcast to an unsuspecting radio audience, people across the country recoiled in terror of what they believed was news of an alien invasion.

Ridley Scott’s “Alien” terrified us with disgusting beasts that invaded our space colonies and preyed on Paul Reiser.

Nowadays, however, aliens have become the subject of playthings.

Like the iconic vampire, aliens have become nothing more than the latest supernatural being to fall victim to the human phenomenon that is love.

“I Am Number Four” continues this trend of super-in-

This February, Becky Keck and Jami Rinehart will be exhibiting their pottery and sculptures in “Metamorphic Revolutions” at the Benedum Gallery of the Monongalia Arts Center.

The exhibit is currently running through Sunday. The MAC is located at 107 High Street, next to Hotel Morgan.

Keck and Rinehart met through mutual friends, since the artists both own studios in Waynesburg, Pa. When compared with Rinehart, Keck said she liked the contrast and material usage between the two artists.

Both artists use recycled material and feed off of each other for inspiration, according to Keck.

Keck said she uses objects Rinehart finds and incorporates them into her work.

The artwork is a plethora of embellishments and sculptures made of found objects, which are supposed to create an organic narrative of life. Sculptural works dominate, as clay and found objects morph into a revolution of form and color.

“I like clay because it seems like a living thing, to express ideas, and it almost seems to create itself and is very versatile,” Keck said.

Keck described the exhibit as a metamorphosis of their mate-

‘Spiritus Silva’ by Becky Keck on display at the Monongalia Arts Center as a part of the show, ‘Metamorphic Resolutions.’ rial and said it shows the changes in use of material.

Some of the other works are pit fired and smoked with ironwork for visual contrast.

“The work is meant to be interpreted by the audience,” Keck said.

Keck’s favorite piece is called “lazy fare chipotle” and is a wood-fired, ceramic mask with warm colors. Keck chose the MAC as a serendipitous thing.

“We wanted to have something outside of Waynesburg, and with a different audience,”Keck

said. “It’s exciting for us to share something in Morgantown.”

Keck was previously a painter in college and will be doing a second exhibit in September in Farmington, Pa., to show the transition from painter to potter.

The MAC gallery hours are Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
