WVU user accounts to consolidate by lydia nuzum staff writer

West Virginia University is looking to make changes to its multiple accounts such as MIX, GroupWise and the MasterID. During Monday’s Faculty Senate Meeting, a presentation was given on the Office of Information Technology, its budget, capabilities and future goals from Rehan Khan, the associate provost and chief information officer.

OIT is hoping to initiate its Identity Management Project, which will allow users access to multiple University resources with a single account and password, he said.

Currently, those logging on to many WVU accounts must have separate passwords and usernames. The MasterID is used for services such as WVU Wi-Fi internet access and parking management.

Khan said the project would also allow its users to reset their password online,

eliminating calls to the OIT Help Desk for password resets. Khan said OIT hopes to begin the initial phase of the project later this summer.

WVU President James P. Clements said the University’s budget was comparably smaller than some of WVU’s peers; however, it is stable.

“I’ve tracked a lot of the national trends, talked with colleagues around the country,” Clements said. “I was at the American Council of Education meeting in D.C. last

week, and their presidents were cutting departments, cutting regional campuses.

They were very stressed.”

Clements said he intends to push for a larger budget in order to retain and entice quality educators.

“Our faculty makes less than their peers, and they work a lot harder than their peers,” Clements said. “They teach more classes, they have more students, they do more advising, they’re on more committees, and that is true.”

Egging on sustainability

He also said the University was poised to launch a search later this week for a new vice president of research. Curt Peterson, the current vice president of Research and Economic Development, announced his retirement last week.

“We have an important opportunity to find a new vice president of research,” Clements said. “Somebody who will support what we do, facilitate excellent research and scholarship.”

Dining Halls switch to using cage-free eggs across campus

BY EMILY SPICKLER STAFF WRITER

Sustainability efforts at West Virginia University have recently been increased with the help of WVU Dining Services.

Dining Services has made a campus-wide switch to use cage-free eggs in all of the dining halls and the Mountainlair.

Kathy Curtin, assistant director for residential dining, said they have been looking at different programs regarding cage-free eggs for about a year.

“We had to evaluate it. Just because it’s cage-free doesn’t mean it is better living conditions for the chickens,” Curtin said.

WVU chose to purchase eggs from Farmers Organic Foods International, she said.

According to FOFI’s website, its mission is to provide certified humane cage-free and or-

ganic egg products, while supporting smaller chicken farms through fair trade prices.

Clement Solomon, director of the Office of Sustainability at WVU, said this movement fits into the overall vision of sustainability on campus.

“We’re all partners, but this was primarily an effort of Dining Services,” he said.

Curtin said the student response has been positive so far.

However, she said she didn’t think there was a lot of awareness of what cage-free means.

“Traditionally, chickens are raised in battery cages, which are about the size of a sheet of notebook paper,” she said.

Chickens cannot practice natural behaviors, she said, but cage-free means they can move around.

West Virginia University was given a $4.6 million gift by the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust to establish a graduate research scholarship on Monday.

The money will be matched

by WVU’s Research Trust Fund to create a $9.2 million endowment to attract students into science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine, said Provost Michele Wheatly.

“These are students who are dedicated to 3 to 5 years of study, rigorous study in very hard competitive areas,” Wheatly said. “As a student who was impoverished at one point to someone who trained students over 30 years making their way into the academy (graduate school), I cannot think of a better return on investment than this transformative gift.”

The endowment will create graduate fellowships in fields such as energy and environmental sciences; nanotechnology and material sciences; biological, biotechnological and biomedical sciences; and biometrics, security, sensing,

forensic sciences and identification technologies.

The endowments will be merit-based with consideration for graduate students with exceptional talent. Financial limitations or hardships will also be considered.

The specifics of how students will apply and be selected will be determined in the coming months, according to a press release.

The gift was given by members of the McQuain Trust Board of Trustees, Stephen Farmer, George Farmer and Charles Dunbar.

The 2020 Strategic Plan highlights five goals that will assist in creating a stronger University during the next 10 years and beyond.

The plan was developed by a 40-member Strategic Planning Council that received input from across the University.

University President James P. Clements said the money is keeping with the five goals of the 2020 Strategic Plan.

“For many students, a graduate fellowship will be a pivotal moment in their lives and give them wonderful opportunities to study and conduct

West Virginia University’s School of Business & Economics has been recognized as an outstanding school of business by Bloomberg Businessweek, ranking 90th in the publication’s “Top 100 Business Schools.”

Each year Bloomberg Businessweek compiles a list of the best undergraduate business schools in the country based on surveys and academic components.

“I think with a reputable magazine like Businessweek, when you get that recognition, it’s important,” said Jose Sartarelli, dean of the WVU College of Business & Economics. “It’s very much in line with what we want to accomplish.”

The B&E is hosting a celebration at 1:30 p.m. today in the entrance of the building.

Businessweek considered factors such as composite standardized test scores and the starting salary of graduates when making their evaluation, Sartarelli said. He said WVU’s school of busi-

ness graduates usually go on to be very successful.

WVU currently implements a two-year program, admitting students to the business school during their junior year, Sartarelli said, and he wants to implement a four year program at WVU to further enhance the job placement opportunities for its graduates.

“The best way to measure whether a school is good or not is by the quality of students we graduate and what they accomplish in the workplace,” Sartarelli said.

Geoff Gloeckler, staff editor for Businessweek, said the list initially started with 139 schools in their evaluation, but 26 were eliminated due to a lack of participation from their students.

Gloeckler said Businessweek asked seniors from each school to complete an evaluation, which included questions concerning classroom facilities, career services and internships.

Recruiters from participating schools were also

Consol to pay $6M settlement in water case

CORE, W.Va. (AP) — Consol Energy will spend $200 million on a treatment system for wastewater from three West Virginia coal mines, and pay the state and federal governments a total of $6 million to settle hundreds of alleged violations of the Clean Water Act. At a press conference Monday along Dunkard Creek, site of a massive fish kill in 2009, officials with the U.S. Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency said the settlement should warn other coal companies that the agencies are serious about enforcing environmental laws.

“I think this settlement might set the standard for what we’d like to see other companies do,” said U.S. Attorney William J. Ihlenfeld.

“Consol really stepped up to the plate here, and we’d like to see other companies do the same in the future.”

The federal fines, which will be split between the EPA and

the state, totaled $5.5 million.

Consol, based in Canonsburg, Pa., also agreed to pay the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources $500,000 for the damage to Dunkard Creek, a Monongahela River tributary that runs for 43 miles along the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border.

Though it denies its operations were responsible for the fish kill, Consol stopped discharging wastewater from its Blacksville No. 2 mine after a September 2009 bloom of toxic golden algae killed countless fish, mussels, salamanders and other aquatic life.

Investigators concluded that pollutants called total dissolved solids created conditions that helped that algae bloom flourish, choking off oxygen to the aquatic creatures. Although high levels of TDS have not been labeled a threat to human health, they can affect the taste and smell and drinking water.

Soldier killed in Afghanistan CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Army says a 19-yearold soldier from Maidsville, W.Va. has died in Afghanistan.

Harper was in Kandahar province when he suffered the injuries.

He was assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment.

Struggling states may cancel primaries MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — In these tough times, even how we nominate presidents is facing the threat of the budget ax.

Lawmakers and elections officials in at least six cashstrapped states are hoping to move or replace their standalone 2012 presidential primaries, sacrificing some influence over who wins the nominations in favor of saving millions of

dollars.

The moves to either delay primaries by several months or hand over the nominating process to party-run caucuses comes as Republican and Democratic parties implement new rules to limit the number of states voting before March 1.

The last election cycle saw states move up their contests to get more say in a process

that, ironically, ended up lasting months longer than anyone expected.

The 2012 cycle looks different, but not because the electoral map has changed significantly or because the nominating competition is likely to be on one side of the aisle.

States are facing billion-dollar deficits, and legislators are trying to cut budgets.

A&E ‘Real World’ casting in Pittsburgh 3

TUESday MARCH 15, 2011

by jesse tabit a&e writer

A casting call for MTV’s 26th season of the series “Real World” will be held in Pittsburgh Wednesday.

“The Real World” began in 1992, following eight young adults living under one roof for several months. The show is often credited as the godfather of reality TV. The characters typically differ in a variety of categories including race, gender, political views and sexual orientation, and are forced to share rooms.

At the end of the week, each housemate is required to sit down and recollect recent events in the house via video diary.

“It’s all about the cast,” said Damon Furberg, “Real World”

casting director.

“Because the format of the show is essentially the same, the main thing that distinguishes one season from the next is the diversity of personalities we put on the show,” she said.

Jonathan Murray, executive producer of “The Real World,” said the show is looking for people who aren’t afraid to speak their minds and be themselves.

“We look for characters from real life,” he said.

Previous locations of the show are Sydney, Australia; Austin, Texas; and Washington, D.C. The 2011 season takes place in Las Vegas and is currently airing on MTV. Furberg said the setting and location of season 26 is undetermined.

“The producers of the show

pick the city, and they are just at the beginning of that process – so it’s wide open at the moment,” Furberg said.

Success of the show has largely depended on the cast members each season and the interaction of their contrasting personalities. “‘The Real World’” welcomes anyone with a great personality and a willingness to share their life with the world,” according to an MTV press release.

Though there is no requirement, casting directors will be on the lookout for such individuals as elite athletes, recent graduates affected by economic downturn, those involved in punk subculture and individuals who want to bring the spotlight of “The Real World” to a cause they deeply care about.

“We always get great turn-

outs in Pittsburgh, and we’ve cast a number of people from Pennsylvania over the years,” Furberg said. “Most recently, Ryan from ‘Real World: Brooklyn’ was discovered at a Pittsburgh casting call.”

The casting call will be held 11 a.m. through 6 p.m. at the Buckhead Saloon located at 225 West Station Square Drive.

Applicants must be over the age of 18 to apply and “appear to be between the ages of 18 and 24.”

Those interested are required to bring a photo ID and a recent picture of themselves.

“Although there are many ways to apply, a face-to-face meeting with a casting director is always your best shot at getting on the show,” Furberg said. jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu

‘30 Rock’ returns with a reality show within a show by david ryan A&E Editor

After a brief hiatus, “30 Rock” returns with a new episode Thursday – but in a slightly different format.

The show, which aired a live episode earlier in the season, will be in the guise of faux reality show, “Queen of Jordan.”

The episode centers on Angie Jordan (Sherri Shepherd), long-suffering wife of “The Girlie Show” star Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan).

In “30 Rock,” the reality show follows Angie as she deals with life and a celebrity.

“This episode that’s airing is the craziest one I’ve ever done on 30 Rock,” she said in a conference call Friday. “And it has allowed me to go crazy.”

With her husband in Africa and no sign of him returning, Angie’s presence causes some controversy.

Highlights of the episode include a cat fight with “TGS” executive Liz Lemon (Tina Fey).

“You know, there’s a fight with me and Tina,” she said.

“There’s some more hair pulling out. They gave me a very tender moment of crying. I’ve got to do it all in this show.”

On-screen tension between Liz and Angie is nothing new,

Angie Jordan (Sherri Shepherd) approaches boss Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) in ‘30 Rock.’ Thursday’s episode centers around the wife of ‘TGS’ star Tracy Jordan’s wife. however. That gets worse as Liz tries to use Angie to get Tracy to return so they can continue doing their show.

“Angie and Liz have kind of a love-hate relationship,” she said. “Deep down Angie always thinks that Liz wants her

husband.”

Shepherd, who may be better known for her part in ABC’s all-female morning TV panel show “The View,” has played Angie for three years.

“I think when I first – did my first episode with (Morgan) I

was a little intimidated because I didn’t know if he’d want this totally voluptuous woman to play his wife,” Shepherd said.

“I was a little scared when I first walked into the set and he saw me. And he said, ‘I love a big girl. We’re going to have fun.’”

NBC

Her first appearance in the Valentine’s Day-themed episode in season one was a highlight, she said.

“Probably my favorite moment is the very first episode that I did with Tracy. We played a sex game for our anniversary

with Alec Baldwin in the hotel room,” she said. “I had to get my clothes ripped off about 13 times that day. I was so selfconscious by the end of the day. I was walking around in front of Tracy and Alec with a corset and high-heeled boots on, not even a problem.”

To say the couple has an unconventional marriage is an understatement.

In one episode, Angie insists Tracy has an affair to maintain his tough-guy image and save his career.

“Through it all, Angie loves her Tracy Jordan no matter what he does,” she said. “She might put him out the house, she might be mad at him, but they have a love that just endures.”

Though Shepherd isn’t a regular on the series, working on the show is something she never tires of.

“I’m just thankful they keep asking me,” she said. “I tell you I didn’t think I was going to get asked back. So every time they call and say, ‘We want you back,’ I’m screaming and jumping up and down and screaming.”

The episode airs Thursday at 10 p.m. on NBC. david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

Despite capturing human performances, ‘Mars Needs Moms’ lacks realism JAMES CARBONE CAMPUS CALENDAR EDITOR

Performance capture films are unsettling.

“Polar Express” creeped me out but the films they’ve done since, such as “Monster House” and “A Christmas Carol” have gotten better.

But they’re still sort of uncomfortable.

The latest attempt, “Mars Needs Moms,” finally seems to walk the fine line between creepy and cartoony – and it’s about time.

“Mars Needs Moms,” an adaptation of the children’s book

by Berkeley Breathed, tells the story of the young child Milo (motion capture by Seth Green, voice by newcomer Seth Dusky).

He’s a good kid and the story focuses on his relationship with his stern, but fair, mother (Joan Cusack).

Because of their relationship, the matriarchal Martians decide she would be the perfect specimen to copy her mind into the nanny bots that would raise the next genera-

tion of Martian girls.

After a nasty spat between Milo and his mom, the Martians start their plan, only for Milo to attempt an apology, discover their kidnapping plot and accidentally end up on their spaceship back to the home planet.

Once on Mars, Milo enacts a plan with the help of supposed Astronaut Gribble (Dan Fogler) and Martian Ki (Elisabeth Harnois) to show the Supervisor (Mindy Sterling) just how necessary it is for Martians to raise their own children.

The highlight of the film is easily the acting, especially with computers capturing their performances.

So, while the characters may not look like Green or Fogler, the actors are doing everything that you’d expect a normal actor would in a regular film.

Fogler especially deserves credit, capturing the necessary childish attitude for his character as well as emoting perfectly to let the audience empathize with him.

The story is also incredibly sweet and drives home just how important parents and

mentors are in a person’s life.

It also looks like the creators did quite a bit of work when it came to the more technical aspects, such as the difference of gravity between Earth and Mars, as well as coming up with a Martian language that, when translated into English, sounds just as awkward as if it were any other language when directly translated.

However, there are a few scenes that seem strange.

Milo puts on his shoes while inside his house, just before the Martians kidnap his mom. It’s as if he received a sign that he is going to be running outside.

Also, the Martians are visually boring.

Physically, they’re fine, but there is no flair. There’s nothing memorable about them – not even some “E.T.” wrinkles.

Mars itself suffers from the same problem. The underground trash city and the Martian prison look copied from “WALL-E.” There is a fantastic use of color at some points, apparently something Martian society despises although that tidbit isn’t obvious until a character flat out says it.

While humans may look fine, there is also some unsettling creepiness to the aliens.

But, when all’s said and done, it’s just a kid’s movie.

While there might be a joke here or there for parents, they are few and far between; everything is aimed at kids.

If you don’t have any rugrats yourself, there are better films to see. But if you have a close relationship with your folks, you can probably appreciate this one.

Focus, finish tasks before Spring Break By this time every year, most students, faculty and staff have reached their limits and are in desperate need of a break.

Between classes, work, student organizations, families and other obligations, people are ready for rest and relaxation, they start counting down the days until Spring Break months in advance.

Thankfully, West Virginia University’s break begins Friday; however, students should not abandon their responsibilities in anticipation of spring break. It is important to finish

up this week strong so Spring Break can be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

Continue going to class and studying throughout the week.

Many professors have assignments and exams scheduled for this week, so if you are in that position, make sure you don’t get so overly excited about break that you disregard your coursework.

Even if you have papers or projects due the week after break, try to get a head start or finish them before the end of the week.

There is nothing worse than coming back from break and jumping right back into a heap of work and stress.

It is tempting to disregard all obligations this week and start break early, but that will only lead to more work later on.

Though it might make things more enjoyable right now, the end result will not be.

We are halfway through the semester, and it is not the time to have nonchalant attitudes about school.

Tying up any academic or professional lose ends before

starting your Spring Break will make it so you don’t have to take the burdens of undone work with you.

If you know you have work at your job that must be completed before break or you will have to take it home with you, put in a few extra hours so that doesn’t happen.

Simple things like this can be the difference between having a stress-free break and having a break that is more stressful than a normal school or work week.

Whether you are going to Cancun for fun in the sun, or

just home to lie on the couch and eat home-cooked meals, Spring Break is supposed to be a time for everyone to relax, regroup and reboot before returning to school to wrap up the semester.

But coming back to undone work and fast approaching deadlines will deplete the rest and relaxation accumulated over break; for that reason, work hard these next few days so you can get the most out of Spring Break. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Natural disasters are not helpful to the Japanese economy tomas engle columnist

The devastating 9.0 magnitude earthquake on March 11 has brought aftershocks, a tsunami, a volcanic eruption and now explosions at two nuclear power plants to troubled Japan.

Adding to the confusion is a bevy of opinion on how the epic natural disaster will be good for the Japanese economy.

This talk is not only utterly callous to the devastation many Japanese people have endured but also patently false, as the exact opposite is true.

President Barack Obama’s former Director of the National Economic Council Larry Summers was the first to open his mouth about this topic.

On the day of the earthquake, Summers said in a short interview with CNBC, “It may lead to some temporary increments, ironically, to GDP, as a process of rebuilding takes place.” He later added that some economic strength

was actually gained due to the process of reconstruction after the Kobe, Japan, earthquake in 1995.

Also stated was the idea the global economy is more resilient than many people think and is not likely to be massively affected by this earthquake.

To understand how truly depressing it is that a former economic advisor to the president of the United States believes disasters are a benefit to the economy, one must also have a basic understanding of the broken window fallacy.

The broken window fallacy is an economic parable postulated by French theorist Fredderic Bastiat in his 1850 essay, “That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Not Seen.”

In it, a store window is broken by a random vandal.

As spectators gather to see what the noise was all about, one spectator begins to console the store owner by telling him how good the event actually was for the town’s economy.

Because the store owner had to hire a glazier (a person who fixes windows) to fix the window, the glazier has money from the job he can

then spend on another product or service within the town and so on, spurring economic growth.

According to Bastiat, the spectator fails to take into account what the store owner’s money could have originally been allotted toward: a new suit to benefit the tailor, new shoes to benefit the cobbler and so on.

Of course, there is economic activity originating from the broken window -and all destruction of property -but the key is that the destruction is a net loss and not a net gain or breaking even.

If this fallacy worked, the best way to stimulate or run an economy would be to repeatedly build goods and then dump or blow them up in the middle of the ocean.

While this example seems ridiculous on the face of it, it’s important to keep in mind what holds true for you, the individual, should hold true for the entire economy, since all economies are simply an aggregate of individuals interacting with each other.

If it were stupid and reckless for you to do it on your own, destroying your own property or going into debt to get

richer, it wouldn’t make any more sense on a larger scale.

Unfortunately, the broken window fallacy also appears in more disturbing scenarios than natural disasters and destruction of property.

These scenarios are the ultimate man-made disaster: war.

Though Paul Krugman, 2008 winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in economics, may be the most famous economist to credit wars as an economic boost, he does so mostly as a nod to his usual deference to deficit spending by the government and never fully comes out advocating war for prosperity.

In a column last October, Washington Post reporter David Broder advocated war not just for economic growth, but also in an even more disgusting trend: as a poll booster for President Obama.

“Here is where Obama is likely to prevail. With strong Republican support in Congress for challenging Iran’s ambition to become a nuclear power, he can spend much of 2011 and 2012 orchestrating a showdown with the mullahs.

This will help him politically because the opposition party will be urging him on. And

AP

A couple walk along the rubble at a residential area in Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture, northern Japan, Sunday, March 13, two days after a powerful earthquake-triggered tsunami hit the country’s east coast. as tensions rise and we accelerate preparations for war, the economy will improve,” Broder said.

While looking for a silver lining in tragic events can often be cathartic for victims, continuing to further this economic falsehood can only lead to a slippery slope of reasoning that will steer people from

taking disasters in stride to outright advocating for them.

The loss of life and capital in Japan has been staggering and is presumed to be in the tens of thousands of people and billions of dollars.

The last thing Japan needs at this time is reassurance their catastrophe is somehow a jobcreating event.

Contrary to popular belief, college does not equal success for everyone Zach viglianco columnist

Whether or not we want to admit it, they are everywhere.

Some students show up dutifully to every class period and create elaborate doodles in the margins of their notebooks.

Others lug along a laptop, but only to ensure they aren’t cut off from their favorite social networking site.

A different subset sits in the front row and copies down everything the professor writes on the board, pausing only to glance up with a look of frustration and confusion on their faces. Others are conspicuous by their absence – they appear once or twice during the first week, and then you only see them again on test days.

But, if you want to see them all in one place, check the gradebook and look for the lowest scores.

The truth is that a tradi-

tional four year, liberal-arts college education is not right for some people. For any number of perfectly legitimate reasons: immaturity, lack of focus or discipline, poor educational preparation, and yes, for some, limitations of their own intellectual capacity. Truthfully, some people can’t hack it at the collegiate level.

Others simply don’t need college for their desired professions. Let me preempt the critics by stating that this column is not intended to degrade those students in any way. It is not an indictment of their worth as human beings.

In fact, the good news is a college education is not an absolute prerequisite for a successful life. The bad news is American society prefers to pretend like the good news doesn’t exist.

The constant refrain of politicians, parents and teachers about our children’s future always begins and ends with college. “We’ll make sure that every child in this country gets a world-class education from the

day they’re born until the day they graduate from college,” said then-Sen. Barack Obama on the campaign trail in 2008.

A lofty goal, and a good one too, but only if one accepts the flawed premise that an education is only “world class” if it ends in college.

Is a college education necessary to be an effective firefighter? Does it provide the necessary skills to fly commercial jetliners?

Do you care if your plumber was exposed to classic literature or if your dental hygienist completed a writing intensive course?

These are just some of the high-quality, good-paying jobs available to individuals who obtained useful and marketable skills outside of the traditional college setting.

The reality is, you can make a good living and be a successful person without a college degree.

Unfortunately, both political policy and cultural attitudes belittle or ignore this fact.

President Obama’s 2012 budget slashes funding for career and technical education grants by $265 million.

More and more high schools are implementing college prep programs and declare that its primary mission is to send kids to college and use the number of students enrolled in college as a proxy measure for educational success. Sadly, this leaves many students barely aware that other options exist – even if they are, they face cultural pressure from parents, teachers and peers to give college a try.

So the teeming masses set out for college campuses. Many will succeed, but many others will run into a brick wall during the first semester.

In addition to the direct losses (both the costs of going to school and the forgone earnings or time that would have been better spent in a technical or vocational school), flunking out of college can be a highly traumatic, life-altering experience.

Shattered self-esteem is a difficult wound to heal. The fact

that they were set up for failure, pushed beyond their abilities by optimistic, but misguided, policies makes the situation even more tragic.

There are other detrimental effects as well. Financial aid money is wasted on students who are unlikely to succeed, while deserving students may be denied admission. Academic assistance resources are stretched to the limit. Such strains reduce the quality of the educational experience for every student.

Furthermore, the unnecessary proliferation of college degrees (namely, degrees given to subpar students who just squeak by) diminishes the relative value of everyone else’s degree.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 17 million Americans have college degrees but are employed in fields that do not require them. This helps explain why it is increasingly common for individuals to seek graduate degrees to differentiate themselves from the rest

of the labor pool (That is, they seek an advanced degree not to add any appreciable skills, but rather solely as a signal to employers.)

A truly world-class education system is one that gives everyone a realistic opportunity to succeed. It embraces community colleges, the military, and especially technical schools and vocational programs as viable, acceptable alternatives to the traditional college experience.

It stops subtly implying that careers like truck driver, air traffic controller, radiologist, industrial welder and police detective are automatically inferior because they don’t require a four-year degree.

It concedes that not every student is capable of making it to med school, and it acknowledges that it is not only counterproductive but irresponsible to tell them otherwise. It is time to stop perpetuating the myth that everyone needs to go to college.

It just isn’t true, and clinging to it is damaging in more ways than one.

‘The Fighter’ more than an outstanding boxing drama jesse tabit a&e writer

“The Fighter” is one awesome movie. It features great performances, a compelling comeback story based on true events and an intense look at a bond between brothers and their dysfunctional family.

There’s so much to like that after it’s over, you can’t help but walk away with a smile on your face.

The film takes place in Lowell, Mass. in the 1980s and follows Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg, “Four Brothers”), a down-and-out boxer.

His brother, Dicky Eklund, (Christian Bale, “The Dark Knight”) has been a trainer for years and, because of his drug addiction and sporadic attitude, is hurting his brother’s boxing career.

The story becomes Micky’s as he finds his own path and breaks away from his unhinged working-class family – especially his nagging mother Alice Ward (Melissa Leo, “Frozen River”).

Micky is able to do this, largely in part, thanks to his new girlfriend Charlene Fleming (Amy Adams) and the support from a few other focused characters.

The film received seven nominations at this year’s Academy Awards and took home two – one went to Melissa Leo for Best Supporting Actress and the other to Christian Bale for Best Supporting Actor.

Not only is the film a great boxing movie, but it’s an engrossing drama.

There’s a lot of heart in “The Fighter,” and that’s its biggest asset.

The film does an excellent

Prince William, Middleton represent future LONDON (AP) — Powerful husband? No problem. Money?

Got that too. Clothes, good looks? Ditto. What does the woman who has it all do after her honeymoon? That’s a tough one.

Kate Middleton’s fame is undeniable. She is already one of the world’s most talked-about women, and that will only increase when she marries Prince William next month. But her royal role remains completely undefined, and much rests on her slender shoulders.

If her marriage to Prince William is a joyous union that produces heirs, not tears and recrimination, the young couple could put the somewhat shaky British monarchy on solid footing for generations to come.

Journalism professor and newspaper columnist Roy Greenslade said William and Middleton must rebuild public trust that has been eroded by heir-to-the-throne Prince Charles – because of his failed marriage and perceived eccentricities – and by scandal-bound Prince Andrew. The British public still reveres the queen, he said, but has doubts about her four children, including Princess Anne, who is divorced, and the nondescript Prince Edward.

“The glue that holds the monarchy together is the queen, but there is a great deal more skepticism and even cynicism about the next generation,” he said.

“You have a dysfunctional family, so it really falls on William and Kate to actually be an upright couple that can engage with the public and be glamorous at the same time. It’s fine with the queen on the throne, and Charles won’t reign for long, so it really does fall to the next generation to rescue them.”

web

ap

Prince William and Kate Middleton during a visit to the St. Andrews Museum, where they viewed the Papal Bull in St. Andrews Scotland.

Restoring the frayed bond between crown and subjects is vital, Greenslade said, because the monarchy will suffer a substantial blow when the queen dies, and also faces the very real threat that Australians will decide to sever ties to the British monarch in the next decade, likely giving republicans in Britain a boost.

That’s a lot of pressure for a young woman who already faces the formidable task of marrying into a rather imposing family.

“Her prime objective is to become a wife, and a good wife,” said Dickie Arbiter, a former royal spokesman who expects Middleton to give up her nightclubbing ways once she becomes a princess on April 29.

“People are judged by what they do. She knows what is expected of her when she marries into the royal family. There is an element of royal duty that is expected of

her, just as it was of Princess Diana, and she knows that.”

In a legal sense, Middleton will not have a constitutional role in British affairs until she becomes queen, which can only happen when William takes the throne as king, an event likely to be far in the future since William’s father, Prince Charles, is ahead of him in the line of succession.

Remember back in eighth grade when Avril Lavigne was all angsty and fun?

Yeah, well, she’s not anymore.

It seems everyone’s favorite “Sk8tr Girl” has grown up and left her spiteful charm behind her.

Her first album in four years, “Goodbye Lullaby” shows a noticeably grown-up Lavigne.

And while it’s not the style most will be expecting, Lavigne proves she is talented.

A portion of the songs were actually written in Lavigne’s youth, so this softer side of her has always been around.

The main portion of her writing was done in the last two years, around and after her divorce from Sum 41 guitarist Deryck Whibley.

While their breakup wasn’t the vicious hate-storm the media was no doubt hoping for, it added a touch of real life to her songs for the album.

As the divorce ended with them being friends, don’t expect many “I hate you” kind of songs, but they are no less romantically infused.

Her single, “What the Hell,” is actually a complete outlier for the album, and isn’t similar to any of the others. I appreciate its upbeat and angry throwback, but it was obviously added to be the radio single.

“Goodbye Lullaby” is no less angry and longing than previous records, yet the overall tone and cadence is slower, and almost strolling, in comparison.

“I Wish You Were Here” is a chill song of longing and hope. A touching song someone is liable to put on an “I’m Sorry” mixtape next to Taylor Swift’s “Back to December,” it brings memories of a relationship that should never have been let go in the first place.

“Smile,” the next-closest song to pop music, has all of the classic Lavigne keywords like “crazy b––ch” and rock n’ roll, and more or less follows the same ex-bashing format as Lily Allen’s same-titled song “Smile.” Yet, Lavigne’s

If you are interested in romance, the possibility of a major relationship appears on the horizon. If you are attached, the two of you will enjoy this period. The second half of the year, you choose a more practical orientation.

The quality of your daily life and work become a higher priority. The need for fun and romance takes a back seat. You will gain financially from a more serious orientation. LEO is loyal above all and can be a wonderful friend.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH Your creativity surges. You feel good, and you smile. The unexpected pops up at an unexpected moment. Run with it, understanding exactly what your expectations are. You will find the correct path to your objective. Tonight: Ever playful, getting past the fact that it is Tuesday.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Clear out calls and meetings in the morning. You might be surprised by the insight you gain. Revel in the moment, as ideas stream in from the ether. Weigh certain concepts before presenting them. You have time. Tonight: Head home.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Deal directly with others, knowing your goals. Communication surges in the p.m.

Finally, someone gets it. A meeting or get-together could be a source of happiness. Recognize the common interests in this situation. Tonight: Accept another person’s offer.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Move on a key matter in the morning – you can work out the details later. Others agree that you possess a lot of the innate talents they seek. Add creativity, sensitivity and foresight to the list. Others value you far more than you think. Tonight: You have reason to smile.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Understand what needs to happen in the morning. In the afternoon, the time comes to act. Others greet you, your ideas and your projects positively. Manifesting a goal -whether reconnecting with a friend or launching a new idea -- will be greeted positively. Tonight: You are on a roll – continue.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Know that a lot is going on behind the scenes.

You might want to pull back and determine as much as you can about what is happening. You will gain a better perspective of what is going on behind the scenes. Tonight: Get some much-needed privacy.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Communicate what is on your mind, and others will hear you loud and clear. Mobilizing others’ energy comes naturally. You might just find that a good time is had by all. You see a partner in a new, different light, which might make you smile. Tonight: In the middle of the action.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Listen to what is happening within your immediate circle. Make an educated decision as to what you feel it is necessary to do. Your leadership can and will make all the difference here. Count on a sec-

ond and third wind. Tonight: Where the happening is.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Stay on top of your game, knowing full well what you can do if you stretch past your normal mental and emotional constraints. Then allow your creativity to kick in. Others respond, and you see a new perspective. How nice. Tonight: Continue looking past the obvious.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Imagine what it would take to break a pattern within a relationship. Don’t automatically negate the issue; rather, open up to the possibility. Not so surprising, in the afternoon, you just might see an opening. Go for it. Tonight: Togetherness works.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You might have every intention of working on or completing a project. But by the afternoon, the story changes. Networking and socializing take a higher priority than the old grind. Make it OK to veer in an unexpected direction once in a while.

Tonight: So many people, so many invitations and so many choices.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Your creativity flourishes in an unprecedented manner. How you open up a conversation and where you go with it reflect who you are. A sense of tension arises in the afternoon. You realize what you have not done. Why not realize what you have done? Tonight: Go easy on yourself.

‘CHAMP’RIANI One of the world’s best ends historical collegiate career by brad joyal sports writer

Nicco Campriani has accomplished it all in his two-year tenure at West Virginia.

The Florence, Italy, native rewrote the record books for the Mountaineers and distinguished himself as one of the best shooters collegiate rifle has ever witnessed.

His college career came to a close in a bittersweet ending, as the reigning air rifle world champion finished with a score of 701 in the open relays at the NCAA Championships to win the Individual NCAA National Championship.

Although Campriani’s performance cemented his legacy at WVU, he was disappointed his team was unable to win the national title for the second season in a row.

“The main goal of the weekend was the team ranking. So we were really upset,” Campriani said. “But we shot really well.

We have to be proud of our performances. “ In the first day of the championships, Campriani placed second overall in the smallbore discipline, scoring 586 in the open relay and 103 in the finals. Despite his strong finish,WVU was still trailing Great American Rifle Conference rival Kentucky and its seven-point lead.

Campriani’s performance in the air rifle discipline on the second day, with the pressure of his team’s fate in every shot he took, was nothing short of spectacular.

It has been something Campriani has come to expect, but the senior was happy to close his career out on top.

“It’s a happy ending to my college career,” Campriani said. “It

Sophomore center Ayana Dunning is still suffering from a twisted knee.

Carey said he has stressed to his team over the last week that there are no second chances in the NCAA Tournament.

For a team that has five seniors, he is hoping it will mean something.

“We have to prepare for every day like it is our last,” said senior guard Liz Repella. “It is always in the back of your mind that there is always next year, but this time there is no next year. This is our last go-around.”

Carey was concerned about his team’s defensive effort, saying a defense that was once feared by opposing teams is now being looked forward to.

the Big East Conference.

Easy? No. But, all things considered, it may be more favorable than what West Virginia is up against.

The Mountaineers practiced Monday and are traveling to Tampa Tuesday. By the time they arrive, eat dinner and become familiar with the town, the team will still not know who they will be playing.

In a tournament that relies on preparation more than any other aspect, that schedule presents problems.

The WVU players said they believe they have the advantage due to the travel schedule UAB and Clemson are facing.

But then again, the winner of the play-in game also is able to become comfortable with the tournament, shake away any nerves it might have and gain the always-important momentum heading into their next game.

It can be compared to teams receiving byes in the Big East Conference Tournament.

Huggins isn’t a fan of that setup, either.

It essentially puts the team with the bye in a more unfavorable position for success due to preparation time. The coach said he would be more welcoming to the process the Mountaineers played Friday, instead.

titude,” Carey said. ”We have to get nasty and hit people coming up the lanes and knock people down. We need to play to win, not to lose.”

The Mountaineers went 4-8 this season against teams that made the NCAA Tournament.

West Virginia has never won more than two games in the NCAA Tournament.

In 1992, it advanced to the Sweet 16, but there were just 32 teams in the field.

“We’re not going to go into these games tentative,” Carey said. “If that’s good enough, great. If not, it’s not.”

A NCAA record nine Big East Conference teams were selected to the NCAA Tournament Monday. Connecticut, who was selected as the overall No. 1-seed, was joined by Notre Dame, Louisville, Georgetown, St. John’s, Marquette, DePaul and Rutgers.

Bubble team Syracuse did not make the field.

The Big 12 Conference had the second-most selections, finishing with seven bids in the tournament. john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

Huggins said one assistant coach will be assigned to scout UAB, another will scout Clemson, while a third will begin preparing for the team’s matchup against the Kentucky/Princeton winner.

On the other hand, the coaching staffs from UAB and Clemson are focusing solely on their opponent Tuesday and the Mountaineers.

Kentucky and Princeton, meanwhile, only have to prepare for each other and West Virginia.

“It takes a day of preparation away,” Huggins said.

In other words, it basically wastes Monday’s and Tuesday’s practices because WVU won’t know what team and which strategy to practice for.

Chances are, the Moun-

For most individuals from the Northeast, a trip to Tampa during early March would usually mean a vacation away from the last few weeks of blustery winter weather.

In fact, early forecasts for the end of this week have temperatures hovering around the low 80s in Tampa.

That is all fine with the West Virginia men’s basketball team, but its trip to Tampa will be anything but a vacation, as the city will be the host of the Mountaineers first and possibly second NCAA Tournament games.

“Tampa is a great place with great weather, but it is time for business,” said point guard Truck Bryant. “We are going down there to take care of business with one thing on our minds, and that is to win games.”

Forward Cam Thoroughman loves everything about the team’s upcoming trip to Tampa and believes it is the best-case scenario for WVU. “I like everything about the way it turned out, because we all said we wanted to go to Tampa,” Thoroughman said.

“There are probably going to be a lot of West Virginia fans down there to enjoy the weather and watch us play on Thursday.”

WVU senior point guard Joe Mazzulla backed Thoroughman’s statement and cited the team’s previous trips to the Sunshine State as an indication of what to expect.

side, we can’t do that, either,” Mazzulla said. “We have to pay attention to detail and focus on what that team does well.”

Bryant believes the team’s experience is something that will help them prepare for the mental and physical grind of the NCAA Tournament.

“Every game is going to be a rough game from here on out, so we have to prepare and bring our game for 40 minutes,” Bryant said.

Finally, head coach Bob Huggins values the Mountaineers’ large amount of tournament experience. For the team’s six seniors, it will be the last time they will take the court in their WVU careers.

“When you have more seniors and the finality sets in, they are more focused,” Huggins said. “We are fortunate to have a bunch of seniors that this is their fourth NCAA Tournament, so they know what to expect.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

ida,” Mazzulla said. “We know that from playing South Florida.”

To some, tournament games in such a nice environment may be considered a distraction, but WVU brings a collection of experience to the table that few other teams own.

The Mountaineers have nine players remaining from last season’s team who made a run to the Final Four.

“Everyone on the team played significant minutes last year,” said point guard Joe Mazzulla. “This year, obviously, we have grown as a team, and our experience will definitely help us down the road.”

In Mazzulla’s eyes, the team’s abundance of experience during tournament play is something that cannot be replicated.

Mountaineers have won two straight matches following Sunday sweep

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

The West Virginia tennis team won two straight home matches this week against Army and Providence.

The Mountaineers have now won three of their last four matches, after losing five of six games going into last week’s match at Duquesne.

“Overall, it was a decent weekend,” said WVU head coach Tina Samara. “We picked up two vital wins. We could have played better, but we found ways to win.”

Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s dropped their first match of the weekend to Cincinnati on Friday, 6-1.

After winning the first doubles match, WVU fell behind in the next two matches, surrendering the doubles point to the Bearcats.

No. 3 singles player, junior Veronica Cardenas, won the only point for the Mountaineers in a 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 victory.

“This was a tough one for us,” Samara said. “We’ve been putting in hard work these past weeks, and it’s frustrating to lose after working hard.”

After the loss, WVU came back and won its two matches on Sunday by sending down Army, 4-1, in the morning before defeating Providence, 7-0, in the evening.

The Black Knights secured

the doubles point in the first match, but the Mountaineers rallied to win four straight matches to lock-up a victory.

Freshman Melis Tanik won the first singles match in straight sets, winning 6-4, 6-4.

No. 2 singles player, sophomore Emily Mathis, won her match in a third-set tiebreaker, 3-6, 7-5, 7-4.

No. 3 singles player freshman Mary Chupa won her match and also won a tiebreaker before Cardenas won the point in the No. 4 singles match.

“We didn’t look very good against Army, but still got the win,” Samara said. “We found a way to win, and that is what’s important.”

The Mountaineers defeated the Friars in a clean sweep in the evening.

WVU won the doubles point after the top two doubles pairs won 8-4 and 8-3, respectively.

The Mountaineers’ No. 1-6 singles players completed the sweep.

“We were supposed to win this one,” Samara said. “I am glad we came out and played well after a not-so-good start in the morning. We still have a lot to work on this season.”

WVU returns to action Friday when it plays host to Big East foe Seton Hall. derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

brian gawthrop associate sports editor

Play-in game hurts WVU West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins approached his seat at his post-NCAA Tournament selection show press conference appearing defeated.

It wasn’t from his team’s early exit in the Big East Conference Tournament. That, he has put behind him.

Huggins had been informed minutes earlier that his team was a 5-seed in the NCAA Tournament. After most expected WVU to be a 6-seed and face the likes of Gonzaga, Washington or Virginia Commonwealth University, being selected one seed higher was a welcome surprise.

Huggins wasn’t content because, despite the selection show already being completed, the Mountaineers still didn’t know who their firstround opponent was going to be.

New to this year’s NCAA Tournament, UAB and Clemson will matchup today for the No. 12 spot and the right to play WVU Thursday.

A ridiculous new feature to the bracket, yes?

Huggins thinks so.

The winner of the UAB/ Clemson matchup undoubtedly will have a rough three days between their playin game Tuesday and their matchup with the Mountaineers Thursday.

The play-in game doesn’t begin until 9:10 p.m., in Dayton, Ohio. After the game, the team must fly 960 miles from Dayton to Tampa where a 6:00 p.m. conference awaits it, followed by a 6:40 p.m. practice.

Less than 24 hours later, it takes on the sixth-best team in

Members of the West Virginia women’s basketball team react to being selected as a nine-seed Monday at the WVU Coliseum.

CHELSI BAKER/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Mountaineers earn a 9-seed, will face Houston in NCAA Tournament

By John Terry Multimedia editor

The West Virginia women’s basketball team had no reaction after it was chosen as a nine-seed for the NCAA Tournament.

A year removed from being selected as a three-seed, the Mountaineers have had a down year finishing the season 4-8 after getting off to a 16-0 start.

WVU will face eight-seed Houston on Sunday at 5 p.m. in Waco, Texas. It will be televised on ESPN2.

“I expected to be an eight-

or a nine-seed,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey.

“There is no one to blame but ourselves.”

It’s West Virginia’s seventh NCAA Tournament appearance and its fourth in the last five years.

West Virginia will head back to Texas for the third time in its last four trips for the NCAA Tournament.

In 2010 and 2007, West Virginia traveled to play its first and second-round games in Austin, Texas.

If West Virginia is able to beat Houston, it will most likely play one-seed Baylor.

“We’ve got to play someone on their home floor again, but that’s what we’ve been doing since I’ve been here,” Carey said. “They must love West Virginia in Texas.

I don’t know why that’s the case, but it is.”

Carey said he doesn’t want to let his team get ahead of itself and think about a possible second-round matchup with Baylor on the Bears’ home floor.

He said the team will focus primarily on Houston in preparation, but one of his assistants will scout Baylor.

B a y l o r ’s f i r s t- r o u n d

matchup is against 16-seed Prairie View A&M, a team West Virginia beat 71-39 on Dec. 11.

After losing to St. John’s in the second round of the Big East Conference Tournament, Carey gave his team four days off in the last seven days.

Carey said senior forward Madina Ali, who is suffering from a stress fracture in her left leg, and senior point guard Sarah Miles, who has suffered from an injured wrist and knee, are fresh.
