City Council passes 2011-2012 budget By Devon Unger

pus Neighborhoods Revitalization Corporation. The City has provided $100,000 to Sunnyside Up each year since 2002. These funds are matched by West Virginia University. Bane and Byrer questioned this commitment because the organization currently holds more than $700,000 in a bank account, and the paving budget, which was expected to reach $400,000 by this year, only allows for $350,000 in paving projects.

The Morgantown City Council approved a second reading of the budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year, which starts July 1. The proposed budget passed by a vote of 6-1 with Councilor Ron Bane casting the dissenting vote. Bane and Councilor Charlie Byrer voted against the budget during the first reading because of a $100,000 commitment to the Sunnyside Up Cam-

Two streets have been left out of the city’s paving project for the upcoming year, South High Street and Parkview Drive. Both Bane and Sunnyside Up Executive Director Jim Hunt gave a presentation regarding the organization. Bane’s presentation utilized numbers he collected from the organization’s 990 tax form, a form filed by all nonprofit organizations for tax exemption purposes. “Every $10, $6.30 goes to expenditures and $3.70 goes to

savings or possible projects,” Bane said. “What I mentioned last time at council was, I was concerned about the operating costs, and I just wanted to illustrate what the 990 (tax form) has shown me.” Hunt said Sunnyside Up has $718,400.38 in their account, but of those funds, only $120,400.38 have not been committed to capital-improvement projects. “That’s basically reserve funds for the organization,” Hunt said. “From the board’s perspective,

out of any reserve funds, none of those dollars are allocated for any salary or any administrative costs, that will all be bricks and mortar invested back into the neighborhood.” Hunt said for every $1 Sunnyside Up has received from Morgantown it has received $6 in additional funds from grants or private investment. The organization requires matching funds from property owners for many of its grant-related projects, and Hunt said this has often been

Business school announces new programs, celebrates 90th rank associate city editor

The West Virginia University College of Business & Economics dean announced Tuesday that it will begin a new program for its business students. The B&E will welcome a class of freshmen entering the new four-year business program, said Jose Sartarelli, dean of the B&E, at a celebration recognizing the school after Businessweek ranked it 90th. Having a four-year program is more common now, as opposed to the two-year plan, Sartarelli said, which students would enter during their junior year. “We have a large freshman class coming straight from high school,” he said. “We’re going to develop a learning center in the school and so we will have a four-year college.” Jo Morrow, a program assistant for the B&E, said the new four-year plan will help students

understand business classes early. “A lot of the time students don’t know what they want to do when they come to college, and being able to try out business classes could help them,” Morrow said. “If they wanted to change they still could, but I think once they take a business class they won’t want to change.” During the celebration, Sartarelli spoke to a crowd of more than 30 faculty members and students about the accomplishment and new plan of the business school. Sartarelli said he was curious about the ranking and had looked over the list. “In fact on the list here, there are very few colleges with twoyear programs. Most schools today are four-year colleges,” Sartarelli said. “This is great we are just joining.” Chelsi Baker/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM While making the list is Jose V.

Faculty, students discuss international protests By Charles Young Staff writer

More than 75 West Virginia University students, faculty and community members attended a discussion Tuesday on the recent uprisings in the Arab Middle East and Northern Africa. The discussion was hosted by WVU’s Office of Multicultural Programs in a panel format. The panel discussed recent democratic protests in countries such as Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Oman. “Very significant events are occurring in the region of North Af-

rica and the Middle East,” said Robert Jones, the dean of the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, who introduced the panel. “Most of you, I know, feel that these are very remarkable events. Most of us are also asking questions. We are wondering, ‘how did this unfold?’” The panel was led by Aaron Gale, head of the religious studies department at WVU and included: Karen Culcasi, professor of Arab Middle Eastern geograMallory Bracken/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM phy, politics and culture; Scott West Virginia faculty members from political science, geography, leadership studies and religious studies conduct a panel discussion on the recent uprisings in the Middle see panel on PAGE 2 East and Northern Africa Tuesday evening in Ming Hsieh Hall.

The bench trial for West Virginia University international student Ahmad Alashi was rescheduled Tuesday. Alashi, a junior industrial engineering major from Jordan, was in Monongalia County court Tuesday on a misdemeanor hazing charge. He could face a fine between $100 and $1,000 or confinement in jail for no more than nine months or fined and imprisoned, according to state code. A new bench trial date has not been set. “I’m confident the justice system will find me not guilty,” Alashi said. He added he does not face deportation. He is being represented by Attorney Scott Radman. Alashi was arrested Nov. 14 after fleeing from University police following a hazing incident at the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity house, according to police reports.

Police officers entered the fraternity house located at 672 North High St., between 2 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. after hearing music and seeing an open door. There they found pledges blindfolded with food poured on them. Alashi was allegedly slapping those blindfolded in the face, the report said. He was arrested the following day and was released on a $1,000 bond. The fraternity was placed on a three-year probation. In December, Alashi was found innocent of hazing by the University’s Student Conduct Board. The Student Conduct Board could have punished Alashi with anything from a warning letter to expulsion from the University for his involvement in the hazing incident. However,the Student Conduct Board can potentially bring sanction against Alashi if he is found guilty of hazing by a state court. Alashi was a former

Low number of W.Va. Peace Corps volunteers prompts call for more by Conor Griffith Correspondent

Out of more than 200,000 total Peace Corps volunteers, 600 are from West Virginia. Morgantown Mayor Bill Byrne wants to change that. Byrne volunteered for the Peace Corps in Brazil from 1967 to 1969. He said residents in rural areas of West Virginia use their resourcefulness and creativity to assist people in third world countries, where the Peace Corps sends some volunteers. “It’s always been puzzling, the kinds of skills used in third world countries are skills many West Virginians have,” Byrne said. Byrne explained the benefits of his experience volunteering abroad. He said one of the most rewarding aspects of his service was the opportunity for a young man to learn a new language and be immersed in a different culture. Byrne served doing agricultural work in Pernambuco, a state in northern Brazil of high plateaus with a dry climate. “The Peace Corps was a transformative event of my life,” Byrne said. Despite the low number of West Virginian volunteers, there are new opportunities for West Virginia University students.

The Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources & Design partnered with the Peace Corps to create the Peace Corps Master’s International program in Sustainable Forestry and Natural Resource Management. The PCMI blends graduate school and Peace Corps service. Todd Petty, an associate professor of wildlife and fisheries resources and official coordinator of the program, said the program started in fall 2010. He said the Peace Corps was looking for new schools to form graduate partnerships and he worked on a proposal for WVU. “We’re looking to get folks in for fall 2011,” Petty said. “This is a no-brainer for people considering grad school and the Peace Corps.” The program offers Master of Science degrees to participants across various WVU departments related to Environmental and Sustainability Studies, according to the PCMI website. Students enrolled in the program who enter the Peace Corps will receive Master Degree tuition waivers, Petty said. “The program is not limited to these degrees. We hope it makes a difference,” Petty said. “There’s a vibrant return volunteer community.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

second phase of the Grant Avenue Tax Increment Financing project in 2012, he and the board of directors will evaluate the need for the organization, Hunt said. “It’s probably a point where it stops returning those dollars, then that’s a point where you want to say ‘is this going to continue?’” Hunt said. “When we’re not providing value to the city and the University that is the time you would dribble that (funding) down.” Morgantown resident Dave McKain said he is upset with the $100,000 commitment Sunnyside Up is getting from the city, specifically because of the

shortfalls in the paving budget. “We’ve been hearing a lot about having to tighten the belts. My street is in bad need of repair, and it’s not on the paving list this year,” McKain said. “I’d just like council to actually consider that. Why is it we’re looking to tighten our belt in other places, but we’re not actually looking to tighten our belts in Sunnyside Up?” City Manager Terrence Moore said the paving budget will increase from $300,000 to $350,000 in the proposed budget with the potential for a greater increase to $400,000 as the fiscal year progresses. The initial increase would

come from business and occupation taxes collected in the fiscal year, with the remaining increase possibly coming out of the capital improvements budget. “For the current fiscal year, you (council) were under the impression it was $400,000, but because of the timing of business and proceeds, it’s actually $300,000. Conservatively speaking, for the fiscal year 2012, it’s $350,000,” Moore said. “Given the upcoming capital improvement exercise, there may be the opportunity to adjust it even further.”

Last American WWI veteran buried

Buckles buried at the Va.’s Obama pays respects to Buckles Arlington National Cemetery ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — The last American veteran of World War I has been laid to rest. Frank Buckles was buried Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery, just 50 yards from the gravesite of Gen. John Pershing, under whose command he served. Buckles’ flag-draped casket was carried to the gravesite on a caisson led by seven horses. After the service, Army Vice

Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Chiarelli handed the flag to Buckles’ daughter, Susannah Flanagan. Before the burial, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden paid their respects to Buckles and offered condolences to his daughter. Buckles lied about his age to enlist at age 16 and outlived the approximately 2 million Americans who served in WWI.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama is making an unscheduled stop at Arlington National Cemetery to honor the last American World War I veteran. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were paying respects for Frank Buckles, whose body was lying in honor inside the chapel at the

Arlington National Cemetery amphitheater. Buckles will be buried with full military honors at Arlington later Tuesday. Buckles served in France after lying about his age to join the Army at 16. He died last month at his Charles Town, W.Va., home at age 110.

Push for W.Va. Marcellus gas regs continues CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Lawmakers can still budget additional gas well inspectors for West Virginia’s portion of the Marcellus Shale natural gas field, even though they ended their recent regular session without passing any new rules for drilling, acting Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said Tuesday. Tomblin called on legislators to increase revenues for the Department of Environmental Protection to hire more inspectors, as they complete a new state spending plan this week. “Having boots on the ground and inspectors in the field is the first step in guaranteeing that Marcellus Shale wells are being drilled in an environmentally responsible manner,” Tomblin said in a statement. Members of the HouseSenate committee assigned to craft the new state budget met for the first time Tuesday. “I wouldn’t want to tie my hands and say there’s money in there, because we haven’t gotten that far yet,” said House Finance Chairman Harry Keith White, D-Mingo, before the meeting. “I would think that the Marcellus issue is a little more complicated than

just naming some inspectors. That’s my first inclination. But we might able to add a few of them within the total package.” Tomblin said he’s also told DEP Secretary Randy Huffman to pursue new regulations for these drilling operations, in the absence of legislative action. Tomblin cited Huffman’s in-house rulemaking powers and said that “West Virginians deserve a comprehensive regulatory structure” governing this industry. “A reasonable, predictable regulatory environment is important not only to our citizens, but also to those companies who are investing millions of dollars into our economy,” Tomblin said. “We want that investment to continue and we look forward to working with those companies who are committed to responsibly developing our natural gas reserves.” But House Speaker Rick Thompson and others are instead calling for a special session focused on new rules for Marcellus operations. Such groups as the West Virginia Environmental Council say DEP cannot get the job done without new legislation.

One West Virginia University student is able to pursue her professional dream. Kelsey Webb, a freshman music major from Elkton, Md., was in need of a clarinet after a family tragedy put stress on finances, and a WVU alumni chapter stepped up to help. To help her out, the Delaware Alumni Chapter of West Virginia University recently raised money to buy her the instrument. Webb’s mother recently passed away after a battle with breast cancer, and a new instrument was going to be financially unattainable for Webb. “I needed the new clarinet because at a college level, a music major really needs the professional model of their instrument in order to progress in the program,” she said. David Baum, president of the WVU Delaware Alumni Association, said the “Campaign for Kelsey” was able to raise $2,500 within 72 hours. The funds were donated toward the purchase of a Buffet Crampon R-13 B-flat clarinet. Webb said she received the clarinet on Monday and played it for the first time at the wind symphony and symphonic band concert Tuesday night. “The R-13 is a professional clarinet and is a huge change from my old model,” she said. Baum said alumni members from the DAA, Chi Omega Sorority, Alpha Xi Delta Sorority, Kappa Alpha Fraternity and the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity pulled together to raise the funds. “A lot of alumni support students through these types of informal donations all of the time,” said Jayne Armstrong, chief recruiter for the Dela-

She expressed her displeasure with the way the American news media has portrayed the revolutions and protests as violent and fueled by anger. “This disturbs me and actually makes me a little bit angry,” she said. “In fact, what it has been is celebratory and jubilant.” Crichlow explored why the United States has an interest in the Middle East and what influ-

Armstrong said once she was made aware of Webb’s adversities and need for a new clarinet, she immediately emailed and sent a Facebook message to other alumni. “I am forever indebted to WVU for opening doors for me, and this is just one way to give back,” Armstrong said. All of these alumni chapters were able to rally together and raise money in a short time to help Webb stay in school and fulfill her professional dreams, she said. “All we ask is she does the same for another Mountaineer when she has the opportunity to pay it forward later in her career,” she said. Baum said older Mountaineers felt their WVU education taught them to make a difference when possible, especially if that difference could affect a younger Mountaineer. “This is what being a Mountaineer is all about, paying it forward to the next generation.

While not all of the countries in question had oil-producing capabilities, the ones who do are of particular concern to the U.S., he said DeFrank-Cole told about her experiences leading a group of female students during a study abroad trip to Bahrain. There she taught a class on women’s leadership which was comprised of WVU and Bahraini students. Following the comments of the faculty members, the student members each gave a brief presentation on the uprisings in their home countries. “Cultural diversity is something that is very important, to not just the faculty community of WVU but to the student community of WVU, as well,” Gale said. “We want to hear from our student leaders from various cultures.” After the student’s presentations, the discussion was opened to the audience to share thoughts, questions and concerns. charles.young@mail.wvu.edu

Japan crisis puts world financial markets on edge NEW YORK (AP) — Fears over the escalating nuclear crisis in Japan overtook financial markets around the globe Tuesday, pushing stocks and other investments lower. The Japanese stock market lost 10 percent of its value, and Wall Street dropped steeply before bouncing back. The Japanese Nikkei average fell to its lowest level in nearly two years after the country’s prime minister said four crippled reactors at a nuclear power plant on the country’s devastated coast were leaking dangerous amounts of radiation. In the U.S., the Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 300 points at the opening bell. The futures market, which can indicate how stocks will perform, looked so ugly before trading began that the New York Stock Exchange invoked a special rule to smooth volatility. The Dow recovered somewhat later in the day but still closed down 138 points, or more than 1 percent. “It’s a situation where you sell first and ask questions later,” said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at New Yorkbased brokerage house Avalon

Partners. Investors sold stocks primarily because of fear that the disaster in Japan would slow down the global economy. Japan is the world’s third-largest economy, manufacturing goods from computer chips to automobiles, and buys 10 percent of U.S. exports. The jarring day came less than a week after the two-year anniversary of the low point for the markets after the 2008 financial crisis. Stocks have almost doubled in value since March 9, 2009. Over the last five trading days, however, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index has nearly lost 3 percent because of higher oil prices, signs of weaknesses in China’s economy, and the still unknown impact of the quake and tsunami in Japan. “Markets are going to remain on edge until we know the full extent of the situation in Japan,” said Michael Ryan, chief investment strategist with UBS Wealth Management. The Japanese markets have taken a huge hit since the quake and tsunami struck last week. The Nikkei average fell a staggering 10.6 percent Tuesday, more

than 1,000 points, and has suffered its worst two-day loss in 40 years. In addition to Japan, investors on Wall Street fretted about the Middle East, where Saudi Arabian troops moved into Bahrain and Libya’s oil exports ground to a halt because of the rebellion against leader Moammar Gadhafi. Government bonds and other assets considered safer investments rose in price. Stocks pared earlier losses after the Federal Reserve said that the U.S. economy was on “firmer footing.” Still, 29 out of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow industrial average closed lower for the day. Intel Corp., and Cisco Systems Inc. had the steepest falls, in part because they depend on Japanese factories for products or parts. Insurer Aflac Inc., which does 75 percent of its business in Japan, fell nearly 6 percent, the biggest drop in the S&P 500. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 137.74 points, or 1.1 percent, at 11,855.42. The S&P fell 14.52 points to 1,281.87. All 10 types of companies that make up the index finished lower.

Tsunami damage estimate for Northern Calif town, harbors rises SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — Damage estimates increased for the two California harbors hardest hit by last week’s tsunami, while one Northern California county was expected to request state aid Tuesday for extensive damage to its waterfront. Port Director Lisa Ekers revised her estimate to $22.5 million in tsunami-related damage to Santa Cruz Harbor, up from $17 million, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported. The figure includes the expected cost of rebuilding damaged docks and other infrastructure but not an additional $4 million in damage to private vessels. Surging waters caused by Japan’s massive earthquake hit the harbor along the state’s Central Coast on Friday. At least 18 boats sank and another 100 were damaged, with 10 more missing and possibly lost at sea. Crews spread boom to contain any spilled oil, but officials said they’ve seen little environmental impact. Meanwhile, officials in Mendocino County estimated the tsunami caused about $4 million in damage to the harbor in Fort Bragg. Violent surges pounded Noyo Harbor, battering docks expected to be used by salmon fishermen during the upcoming season. Harbormaster Jere Kleinbach told the Ukiah Daily Journal that 800 to 1,000 feet of docks were destroyed. Kleinbach worried that some remaining docks have been fractured but said that won’t be known until divers can inspect them. Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro said he will ask Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a state of

Men, who used to work in Libya and fled the unrest in the country, carry their belongings as they walk during a sand storm in a refugee camp at the Tunisia-Libyan border, in Ras Ajdir, Tunisia, Tuesday. More than 250,000 migrant workers have left Libya for neighboring countries, primarily Tunisia and Egypt, in the past three weeks.

Libya loyalists bombard rebels, become closer to stronghold TOBRUK, Libya (AP) — Moammar Gadhafi’s forces overwhelmed rebels in the strategic eastern city of Ajdabiya, hammering them with airstrikes, missiles, tanks and artillery Tuesday in an assault that sent residents fleeing and appeared to open the way for an all-out government offensive on the opposition’s main stronghold in the east, Benghazi. In desperation, rebels sent up two antiquated warplanes that struck a government ship bombarding Ajdabiya from the Mediterranean. But as tanks rolled into the city from two directions and rockets relentlessly pounded houses and shops, the ragtag opposition fighters’ defenses appeared to break down. Only 10 days ago, the rebellion was poised to march on Tripoli, the capital, and had appeared capable of sweeping Gadhafi out after 41 years in power, but the regime’s better armed and organized military has reversed the tide. Efforts led by France and Britain to create a no-fly zone to protect the rebels have gone nowhere, and some rebels lashed out at the West for failing to come to their aid. “This is a madman, a butcher,” one rebel fighter said

of Gadhafi, speaking to The Associated Press by telephone from Ajdabiya as explosions were heard in the background. “It’s indiscriminate fire.” “The world is sleeping,” he said. “They (the West) drunk of Gadhafi’s oil and now they won’t stand against him. They didn’t give us a no-fly zone.” Residents of the city of 140,000 streamed out, fleeing toward Benghazi, 140 miles (200 kilometers) northeast. But warplanes and artillery were striking roads in and out of Ajdabiya, several witnesses and fighters said. Some reported private cars had been hit, but the reports could not be independently confirmed. They spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from Gadhafi’s regime. Ajdabiya, 480 miles (800 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli, is the gateway to the long stretch of eastern Libya that has been in the control of the opposition since early on in the monthlong uprising. With its fall, regime forces would be able to bombard Benghazi, Libya’s second largest city and the de facto capital of the opposition, by air, sea and land. The opposition once had a seemingly unshakable hold on

the eastern half of the country and control of several cities in the west. Gadhafi has reclaimed much of that territory, including all but one western city. Gadhafi warned rebels: “There are only two possibilities: Surrender or run away.” He said he was not like the Tunisian or Egyptian leaders who fell after anti-government protests. “I’m very different from them,” he said in an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Giornale. “People are on my side and give me strength.” Late Tuesday, addressing selected supporters in Tripoli, Gadhafi called the rebels “rats” and blasted Western nations. “They want Libyan oil,” he said. During his appearance, a crowd watching on a TV projection on a wall in Benghazi shouted curses and threw shows at the image, in video broadcast live by Al-Jazeera satellite TV. As before, Gadhafi played down the scope of the conflict in his country. “They said thousands have died, but only 150 have died,” he said. Libyan state television aired calls for the opposition to stop fighting, apparently hoping to sway populations in the east away from support of the rebels.

Napolitano: US drills for disasters like earthquake, tsunami in Japan DENVER (AP) — U.S. emergency agencies constantly rehearse for a disaster like the one unfolding in Japan, and American first responders will learn from the experience of their Japanese counterparts, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Tuesday. Napolitano, speaking at a conference in Denver, said the United States was already planning a drill based on a hypothetical major earthquake along the New Madrid fault in the central U.S. when the earthquake, tsunami and nuclearreactor crisis struck Japan. “We are constantly practicing, using scenarios that are worst-case scenarios, to make sure we are as prepared and as up-to-date and as ready to go as we can be in any kind of a crisis,” she said. Napolitano said her department works with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to

practice responding to a crisis at a nuclear reactor. “We think about how we would manage a crisis where you lose all your communications capability, all your critical infrastructure, there’s no electricity, you can’t even pump water for people to drink,” she said. Napolitano said it’s too early to say whether U.S. practices or preparations will change because of the disasters in Japan. But she said the U.S. will learn from Japan’s experience, as it did from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year. The U.S. is focusing now on providing whatever assistance the Japanese government asks for, Napolitano said. She said the NRC and the Energy Department have told her Japan is responding to the nuclear crisis the way U.S. agencies would. She also cited NRC assur-

ances that any fallout from the Japanese reactors would not put the U.S. at risk. Napolitano spoke at a conference on the U.S. network of “fusion centers,” which gather and share federal, state and local intelligence on terrorism and other threats. She said terrorist plots by U.S. residents or citizens are increasing, and the centers are a key part of the U.S. counter-terrorism strategy. There are about 70 fusion centers nationwide. Napolitano said the Colorado fusion center, called the Colorado Intelligence and Analysis Center, played a “significant role” in the arrest of Najibullah Zazi, a former Denver airport shuttle driver who pleaded guilty to plotting to detonate explosives in New York City around the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

CAIRO (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton implored Egyptians on Tuesday to complete their fragile and unfinished democratic transition while fighting continued next door in Libya and Bahrain called in foreign security forces to put down anti-government protests there. Fearing that gains made since last month’s ouster of authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak may be lost to impatience or a hijacking of the political system by extremists, Clinton urged Egyptians to seize the opportunity to make their country a model for an inclusive Arab democracy. “To the people of Egypt, let me say: this moment of history belongs to you,” Clinton said following talks with Egypt’s new foreign minister, Nabil al-Araby. “This is your achievement and you broke barriers and overcame obstacles to pursue the dream of democracy.” She called on Egypt to use its millennia-old traditions of civilization and innovation to ensure the success of their peaceful revolution. “Today, because of the Egyptian people, Egypt is rising. Egypt, mother of the

world, is now giving birth to democracy,” Clinton said. “We congratulate you on embarking on what will be a very important next chapter in the storied history of Egypt.” The U.S. sees Egypt as a potential vanguard for reform throughout the region and is eager not to allow developments in Libya, Bahrain or elsewhere, including Yemen, disrupt it. Speaking beside al-Araby, Clinton said the U.S. understood the urgency of the situation in Libya, where forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi are reclaiming territory from rebels in heavy fighting. She also expressed grave concern about developments in Bahrain where the Sunni monarchy has asked Sunni-majority neighbors in the Gulf to help it deal with an uprising

by Shias, who are the majority in Bahrain. Making her first visit to what she called the “new Egypt,” Clinton said the country’s path to elections and greater freedom will be hard work but that America will help. She unveiled details of an economic support package aimed at helping to create badly needed jobs, mainly for Egypt’s exploding youth population, and spur foreign investment. In addition to an already announced $150 million being redirected to the transition and financial sector, the aid will include tens of billions of dollars in credits and private sector loans as well as the expansion of Egyptian facilities that are able to send duty-free exports to the United States.

OPINION

Wednesday March 16, 2011

Cuts to education will not solve problems With the federal government on the brink of a shutdown due to the budget squabble in Washington D.C., West Virginia lawmakers are looking for ways to find other sources to fund the higher education need-based grant program. Higher education in our state supplies a vast array of revenue. In various college towns around the state, students and studentoriented businesses hail as a majority influence. If federal funding is cut due to our national budget crisis,

many students will be hardpressed to find other sources of money – which ultimately may lead to lower enrollment numbers. The proposal being examined by state lawmakers could add about $4 million to the current $35 million program, according to West Virginia Higher Education Chancellor Brian Noland. The added funds to the program are being considered as cushions to the blow that may be left after the federal gov-

ernment cuts the Pell Grant – which may or may not happen. But if it does, the extra $4 million will not serve as a replacement for the money lost, according to Noland. He urges parents of college students to write to Congress and stress the importance of the Pell Grant. The cuts could mean about $800 less per state college student who gets the Pell Grant, he said. “They could express their support for Pell in its current

form,” Noland said. “Reductions being proposed in the House in Washington would have a devastating impact on low-income students, not only in our state, but the nation as a whole.” If the grant is left as is, the state should still move toward adding the $4 million to the program. Students need as much financial help as they can get. West Virginia University is the center of Morgantown’s economy. Most businesses in the area

market around the University in some fashion. Lawmakers must do whatever necessary to keep enrollment up. It would be detrimental to the entire state if recipients of the grant lost funding. Even though the country is in a budget crisis and cuts must be made, cutting education will be harmful in every aspect. Without a valued education, the future will never become brighter.

Breaking the cycle is the key to fixing our health care Jarrod barry correspondent

No one can deny the health care problems our country faces. It can be a dizzyingly complicated beast to understand, though, with tentacles flailing wildly in all directions. Trying to solve the problems can be like trying to hog-tie an octopus. I don’t have all the solutions to the problem. If I did, I’d be in Washington making six figures to fix it, rather than getting paid $17 to write this article. But when Obama talks about how covering every American will be cheaper in the long run, I understand the logic, as counterintuitive as it seems on the surface. Take me as an example. Let’s say one day I’m walking to class when, as I’m crossing the road in front of the Mountainlair, a driver isn’t paying attention and hits me with his car. The accident leaves me with a broken leg, a huge gash on my head and an ambulance trip to the emergency room. At the hospital, they stitch up my head, reset my leg, put it in a cast and run an MRI, just to be safe. Pretty benign, nothing lifethreatening – and I’ll be back on my feet in a month. But as they’re wheeling me out the front door a few hours later, they hit me with the bill – $10,000. My insurance would cover it, except for one problem – I don’t have any. I’m a poor college student, making $17 an article for beer money and yet in the span of an afternoon, I’ve racked up a medical bill worth twice my yearly rent. And I’m on the rook for all of it. This is the start of the cycle. Obviously, I’m not going to be able to pay such a sudden, excessive bill. The hospital could sue me, but for what? I have no cash and no wages to garnish. I could declare bankruptcy, thereby

Supporters of Health Insurance reform display their signs as they wait in line outside the Ohio State University’s Biomedical Research Tower, where U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) was to speak on Health Insurance reform. joining the ranks of the other 60 percent of bankruptcies caused by medical bills every year, but what is this – that $10,000 dollar bill never gets paid. It’s still a cost the hospital has incurred but never been reimbursed for. This happens every day, over and over, in hospitals across the country. People get sick and hurt, receive treatment and are left with expensive bills that can’t be paid. And what happens to these unpaid bills? The hospital makes up the difference by raising its costs and charging everyone else more. Of course, it’s often insurance

companies who pick up the tab on hospital bills. The insurance companies, in turn, pass on these higher costs to their customers via higher premiums and cut backs in coverage. It isn’t just individuals who pay higher premiums. Governments, who provide health insurance for public workers, do as well. And as we’ve seen in states like Wisconsin and Ohio, this medical coverage has led to huge budget deficits. To fill these deficits, governments often raise taxes, which affect all citizens. Rising health insurance costs begin to make it less affordable

for some people, who drop their coverage altogether. These people will eventually get sick too. These newly uninsured will wind up in the hospital, receiving coverage and incurring bills they cannot pay. These unpaid bills get passed on, and the cycle continues. This is what Obama means when he talks about lowering costs by covering everyone – if everyone’s bills get paid every time, the cycle of passing on costs is negated and the meteoric rise in health care costs stops. There’s also the less men-

tioned, but just as important, benefit of increased preventative care. With more people covered, these people would be able to get regular checkups, catching chronic health problems earlier and making them easier and cheaper to treat. It’s usually faster and less-expensive to treat problems early on rather than waiting for them to be discovered through sudden emergency room visits. The irony of it all is the many dissenters have rallied under the claim of not wanting to be stuck paying other people’s health bills. In reality, though, they al-

ready are. They’re just paying it on the back end instead of up-front, in an uncontrolled system where costs aren’t managed, causing them to quickly spiral out of hand. This is, by no means, the only reason for rising medical costs. Everything from high administrative costs and drug company monopolies to malpractice and poor health habits contribute to the problem. But this cycle is a huge part, and any solution with hopes to fix health care in the long term is going to have to break this cycle first.

American Airlines takes off from Expedia and Orbitz over extra fees david silberstein the johns hopkins news-letter uwire

Over the past few months, tension between online travel agencies and their featured airlines has been steadily rising. Despite the large volume of business online travel agencies have generated for airlines in the past few years, certain airlines have recently started disputes with the agencies due to the extra fees associated with their global distribution systems. Global distribution systems (GDS) are worldwide computerized reservation networks used by online agencies to reserve a variety of travel means

and amenities, such as airline seats, hotel rooms, or rental cars. These networks compile information from numerous information and then aggregate it on websites such as Expedia, Orbitz, and Priceline. The end result is one of greater consumer convenience, as they are able to compare and contrast prices on a single webpage instead of having to pull prices from various different websites. While the one-stop-shopping created by these global distribution systems provides a clear benefit for consumers, airlines recently have begun to express grievances with the extra fees required to use the distribution systems. The fees had always been an area of dispute, but no real con-

flict had ever arisen from them until American Airlines decided to remove its flight listings from all online travel agencies. In December 2010, American Airlines, an industry leader, announced its intention to remove its flight listings from all online travel agencies by midyear 2011. This announcement was American’s first bold step towards trying to steer more reservations to be booked through its direct connect reservation system. American claims its direct connect system will help provide passengers with a more personalized flying experience by offering benefits to travelers based on their history of preferences (e.g. more leg room or lower fees for checking baggage).

However, there are clear financial motives for the switch to direct connect – namely the opportunity to avoid global distribution fees. The announcement by American induced an ugly lawsuit between the airline and Travelport, a leading global distribution systems provider. As a result of the lawsuit, Travelport hopes to regain lost booking fee revenues, as well as other damages that American has allegedly inflicted on Travelport’s business operations. Travelport is not the only company to lash out against American’s rebellious actions. After American pulled all of its flight listings from Orbitz.com in December, Expedia countered by adjusting its global distribution in such a way that

made American Airlines flights extremely difficult to find on their website. After only about a week, Expedia dropped American’s listings from its databases altogether. As the battle between airlines and online agencies continues, travel agents are steadily becoming more alarmed in regard to the future prospects of their business. Airlines had been expressing their discontent with paying third party fees for several years, but before 2010 no company had been bold enough to make a move like the one made by AA. Should more companies follow in American’s footsteps, the future of online travel agencies could be very bleak. The most alarming aspect of the current American Airlines dispute

is the future consequences that will be absorbed by consumers. Though American claims its direct connect system has been organized and implemented with the best interest of the consumer in mind, in reality it seems to just be a way of generating higher profits and reducing transparency for potential customers. Online travel agencies provide consumers with convenience, an essential aspect of their shopping experience. The airlines’ separation from these agencies would just make it more difficult for consumers to compare prices and choose the best deal. If big airlines begin to mimic American’s course of action, consumers will certainly suffer along with online travel agencies.

‘Ghostbusters’ lives on through comics, video games PHILADELPHIA (AP) — More than 25 years later, the answer to the question “Who ya gonna call?” remains “Ghostbusters!” The specter-busting quartet that debuted in 1984 on movie screens and then was in a sequel and an animated series remains firmly planted in pop culture thanks, in part, to a wide international fan base, a new comic book series and a next-generation video game coming out this month. “There’d be no Ghostbusters brand if not for the classic comedy that launched it all. It’s incredible that people are still responding more than 25 years later to these great stories and characters,” Mark Kaplan, vice president of consumer products at Sony Pictures Entertainment, told The Associated Press in an email. “We love finding ways to expand that experience for the fans, whether it’s through midnight screenings and DVDs or games, comics and toys that really allow audiences to engage with the movie.” Tom Waltz, an editor at IDW Publishing, which released the first “Ghostbusters: Infestation” comic last week, called the quartet – Peter Ven-

kman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore – a veritable brand name, one that has drawn fans of film, TV, comics and gaming. “Movies, video games, the prose novels and obviously the comic books are intertwined and to the point where I think ... you’re trying to create a brand,” Waltz, who wrote the upcoming game, told the AP. The original movie, titled “Ghost Busters” on screen, starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis as outof-work parapsychology professors who set up a ghost removal service and featured Ernie Hudson as their hired gun. It remains one of the topgrossing comedies ever. Its theme song, by Ray Parker Jr., begins with the classic line, “If there’s something strange, in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters!” The new Atari game, “Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,” is set for release March 23 for Xbox Live Arcade, Sony PlayStation Network and Windows PCs via download at atari.com. “In ‘Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,’ we are intro-

ducing an entirely new look and gameplay experience on digital platforms that will impress new and loyal Ghostbusters fans alike,” said Jim Wilson, president and CEO of Atari Inc. The upcoming release lets four players take part and play the roles of rookies who have been tapped to save New York from a ghoulish disaster. Waltz called the four new characters – Alan Crendall, Samuel Hazer, Bridget Gibbons and Gabriel Sitter – not replacements for the original crew, led by Murray as Venkman, but the next generation. “What I try to do, to a certain degree, is to mirror the four distinct personalities to our original heroes but in a way that the character who is the Venkman of the group would be the last person you’d think is the Venkman of the group,” he said. He said he also strived to create “characters that are likeable enough in their own way with their personalities,” so that “people will accept them.” Ultimately, he added, the characters in the game could find themselves being written A scene from ‘Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime,’ a video game released by Atari. into the comics, too.

Aflac dumps mascot voice Gilbert Gottfried for tasteless Japan tweets

Gilbert Gottfried arrives with the Aflac duck to the 14th Annual Webby Awards in New York. Aflac on Monday, March 14, 2011 announced that it has severed ties with Gottfried over jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that the comedian posted on Twitter. start a casting search for his replacement. The company also noted that Gottfried is not the voice of the duck in Japan. Aflac’s mascot has a softer, sweeter voice in Japanese commercials. Aflac is gearing up for an influx of claims in the wake of the disaster, though it expects

only a minimal financial impact to total results. The company, which has been doing business in Japan since 1974, said less than 5 percent of Aflac Japan’s new sales and in-force premiums come from the hard-hit Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures there.

Judge rules documentary can run in theaters MEXICO CITY (AP) — A judge ruled Monday that a hit documentary that shines an unflattering light on Mexico’s secretive legal system can continue to be shown in theaters as long as the identity of a man who appears in the film is protected. “Presumed Guilty” opened across Mexico on Feb. 18 to wide acclaim, but Judge Blanca Lopez ordered its suspension last week after Victor Reyes Bravo, a key figure in the movie, filed a complaint saying the film violated his right to privacy. An appeals court stayed the judge’s order two days later, allowing the film to return to cinemas at least temporarily. “The collective interest is above the individual,” Lopez said in a statement released by the federal Judiciary Council. She added, however, that authorities must make sure Reyes Bravo’s “identity is camouflaged.” The ruling denied Reyes B r a v o’s petition that the film be pulled entirely from Mexican screens.

Theater chain Cinepolis said in a statement that it will continue showing the film in more than 70 Mexican cities, but it did not say if it will alter the movie to conceal Reyes’ identity or whether it intends to appeal the decision. A message requesting comment from Cinepolis was not immediately returned. “Presumed Guilty” centers on the case of Antonio Zuniga, a street vendor who was sentenced to 20 years for murder in 2005 on the basis of scant evidence. Zuniga’s conviction was eventually overturned, a process documented by his lawyers, who filmed the hearings with the permission of the trail judge. Reyes Bravo is a cousin of the murder victim, and the case is largely based on his testimony. Other relatives of the victim also filed a separate complaint, but the judge who handled that case did not order the movie’s suspension and on Monday also ruled it could continue to be shown. “Presumed Guilty” – “Pre-

sunto Culpable” in its original Spanish – won the audience award for best international feature at the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival. A central message of the film is that greater transparency and openness can improve a system in which most convictions are not based on physical evidence and defendants are vulnerable to unfounded claims. A message in the credits advises viewers to demand their legal hearings be recorded. It has been seen by more than 1.2 million people in Mexico, according to Cinepolis.

Bob Dylan to perform in Vietnam HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — American singer Bob Dylan, famous for his anti-war songs during the Vietnam War, will perform in the Communist country for the first time next month, his promoter said Tuesday. Dylan will appear at an 8,000-plus-capacity university stadium in the southern commercial hub of Ho Chi Minh City on April 10, said Rod Quinton, general manager of Ho Chi Minh City-based Saigon Sound System. “We are bringing him here because Bob Dylan is a very important legend of music and we think it’s important that Viet-

namese people, particularly the younger generation, are exposed to his legacy and what he’s done for music,” Quinton said. Dylan is popular in Vietnam because of his anti-war songs. His 1960s songs “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “The Times They Are a-Changin” were inspirations for the American civil rights and anti-war movements. Organizers were expecting to sell all of the 8,250 tickets, Quinton said, adding they were expecting a mixed crowd of Vietnamese and foreigners of all ages. General admission tickets are priced at 900,000 dong

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) — Aflac Inc. said Monday it has fired Gilbert Gottfried, the abrasive voice of the insurer’s quacking duck in the U.S., after the comedian posted a string of mocking jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on Twitter over the weekend. The tasteless tweets are particularly problematic for Aflac because it does 75 percent of its business in Japan. One in four homes in Japan buys health insurance from Aflac. The insurer’s CEO, Daniel Amos, flew to Japan on Sunday to show support for the company’s employees and agents. Aflac said in a statement Monday that Gottfried’s jokes do not represent the feelings of the company, which previously announced it would donate 100 million yen ($1.2 million) to the International Red Cross to help with disaster assistance. “There is no place for anything but compassion and concern during these difficult times,” Chief Marketing Officer Michael Zuna said. The tweets in question were removed from Gottfried’s Twitter feed Monday after Aflac announced it would stop working with the comedian. Gottfried has voiced the duck in numerous Aflac commercials since 2000. His career includes a run as a cast member on “Saturday Night Live” and a role as the voice of the parrot in Disney’s “Aladdin.” He has also recorded a 50-minute show of dirty jokes. The insurer said it will

Quinton said they were currently only taking ticket reservations because they were still working out details with the tax department. Vietnam’s trip has been added to Dylan’s Asia tour during which he will also perform in China for the first time. Vuong Duy Bien, director of the Art Performances Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said the ministry had granted permission for Dylan to perform in Vietnam.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH Reach for the stars. You will have the correct response, no matter what. Your ingenuity helps you hit a home run. Opportunities seem to sprout. Could you be the common element? Others respond to the merger of intellect and imagination. Why not? Tonight: As you like it. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Stay tuned in to your needs, which also might involve a loved one or family member. Many of you could be considering a home office or home-based business. Your intuition is key here. Open up to that inner voice. Tonight: Mosey on home. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Keep the conversation happening and on target; don’t allow someone to interfere.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Be aware of what is needed from someone

else and what is going on behind the scenes. A business associate or someone involved with the community could be an unusual source of information. Make sure you’re not left holding the bag when picking up a tab. Tonight: Your treat. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Allow more sunshine into your life and be slightly less businesslike.

Allowing more feedback and greater discussion around the topic will be worth it ultimately. Tonight: Celebrating living. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH How you deal with a situation and the end result vary with your ability to take a stand and mean what you say.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Allow your imagination to play out. You might be amazed by what you visualize. Don’t automatically negate a thought or dream; rather, see how it can be possible.

C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH A key associate or partner could play an inordinately strong role. This person seems to have great ideas, which you must say “yes” to.

Continued from page 8 how many people Giraldo touched. Each of them are also willing to discuss some of the darker parts of Giraldo’s life, letting viewers know that he had problems instead of glossing over them like some specials do. The only complaint about this special is it is only an hour long with commercials. It’s not nearly enough time to discuss the life of one of comedy’s more recent greats. They constantly bring up that Giraldo was known primarily for his performance on Comedy Central roasts. But he was so much more than that. While he did perform

Continued from page 8 Anslow said he appreciates the opportunity these exhibits not only offer the students involved, but the entire community. “Student exhibitions are exciting because they are specifically unique to this studio. This focused studio atmosphere and the equipment offered is a luxury that most artists won’t have once they graduate,” Anslow said. “This makes the work we do

wonderfully in them, Giraldo was smart. Contributors agree it wasn’t fair each headline after his death focused on his performances on the roasts. If you’ve ever watched his appearances on “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn” or “Lewis Black’s Root of All Evil,” you’ll know just how right they are. For those who love hearing comedians tell stories, this is something perfect for them, but, for everyone else, it’s a great look into the life of a very funny man.

Clarissa (Melissa Joan Hart) has it tough – her brother is annoying, and she’s struggling to find her place in life. Thanks to her friend Sam, she gets through her comedic life.

Before there were angry birds, there were angry beavers. Two beaver brothers Daggett and Norbert claw, fight, even bite each other and don’t let up on being entertaining and funny.

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

The West Virginia University Committee on Publications is now soliciting applications for the positions of summer managing editor and summer editor-in-chief of The Daily Athenaeum for the summer terms 2011. The editor-in-chief is responsible for content of the newspaper and the managing editor is responsible for management of section editors.

‘RUGRATS’ The adventures of Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil and Angelica never fail to entertain. The group gets into ridiculous adventures all without leaving their home, thanks to the power of imagination.

‘ ... ALEX MACK’ Alex Mack was an ordinary teen until a chemical spill gave her powers. While fun at first, she soon finds herself on the run from a sinister chemical plant out to get her. A great action series.

Applicants must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better and must be a full-time fee paying student, but need not be a journalism major. Both positions are paid and are expected to serve the total of the 2011 summer sessions. The selected editors are expected to report for duty by May 9, 2011 and complete duties on August 3, 2011, and will train during the last three weeks of the 2010-2011 school year. Candidates may pick up application forms and job descriptions at The Daily Athenaeum business office. In addition to the form, three supporting letters (at least one should be from someone other than a Daily Athenaeum employee) and six examples of work that illustrate qualifications should be submitted. Candidates are asked to read the specific responsibilities for the position they seek.

‘Community’ star set to host Woodies by alex mcpherson A&E writer

Donald Glover would like to think that while working as a janitor at MTV studios, he stumbled upon a formula left on a whiteboard that would determine the perfect match to host the mtvU Woodie Awards. After rigorous work solving it, he’s thrilled to find that none other than himself would be the prime candidate. But that didn’t happen. And in reality, he’s not sure how he got the gig either. “It was definitely the perfect fit for the show,” said representatives for MTV. “Being a

writer, a comedian, actor and at the same time having awesome music.” Glover, who previously wrote for “30 Rock” and is currently starring as Troy Barnes on NBC’s “Community,” is the first ever host of the mtvU Woodie Awards. The ceremony is promoted as being “the only night of music where college students honor their favorite emerging artists with a chunk of wood.” The show, which is broadcast online tonight at midnight, comes from the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. Audiences can catch performances by Foo Fighters,

Wiz Khalifa, Sleigh Bells and Two Door Cinema Club. Matt & Kim, Lupe Fiasco, and Liz Lee of “My Life as Liz” will be spicing up the night announcing the 2011 winners. Girl Talk, The Black Keys, Chiddy Bang and lcd soundsystem are among many potential winners. “Even if I suck really bad, the bands are most of the show, so they would still be awesome, and it would still be great,” Glover said. Unlike other ceremonies, Glover doesn’t expect it to be formal. “Here’s the thing – I went to a special camp where I just got all those penis jokes out of

my system; I just now sort of got over giggling every time I said Woodie,” he said. “If you giggle during Woodie or make a penis joke, after the show we get to take like money away from you, and penises are thrown at you. It’s really barbaric and gross, but I think it’s the only way to keep this show moving.” The 2011 mtvU Woodie Awards airs tonight at midnight on MTV and www.MTV.com. “I think it’s just going to be a really good time,” Glover said. “Plus I’ll be drunk, so I won’t care.” MTV

Gibbie’s Pub to host weekly stand-up comedy night by jake potts A&E writer

Morgantown’s Gibbie’s Pub & Eatery will open its doors to the comedy community Wednesday night at its Open Mic Comedy Night. Sally Brooks, a Morgantown resident from Cincinnati, created the event to invite residents to try out their material in front of a live audience. “I think (the event) will be awesome,” Brooks said. “Sometimes it takes an event like this to find out what material works.” Brooks has been performing comedy since her days in college, performing at clubs and venues spanning the Midwest, and has made her way east to land in the home of the Mountaineers.

The event is the first of its kind in Morgantown for a while, other than the recent “Last Comic Standing” performance in the Mountainlair. In the past, a few clubs held similar events but are no longer hosting them. This event will kickoff what will hopefully become a regular event, Brooks said. “If the response for the event goes well, we’d like to hold the event a couple Wednesdays a month,” Brooks said. “We’ll also be trying to get professional acts to come in and perform.” While there is no competitive element to the event, Brooks is hoping the comedy night will bring out up-andcoming comedians. She hopes the event inspires potential comedians

to try out their material for an audience other than close friends and family members who may be required to laugh, regardless of quality. The first comedians to show up for the event will reserve their opportunity to perform. Those who enjoy comedy or may not be ready to perform are invited to come out and enjoy the event at no charge. “Performing to a group of comedians is a great way to get realistic feedback,” Brooks said. “Only other people who have done what you’re doing know how nerve-racking it can be, and they are always very supportive.” Another way to solidify an

Ceramics student art MFA exhibit features ‘Immediacy and Gesture’ by mackenzie mays associate a&e editor

West Virginia University art and design student and ceramic artist Aaron Anslow will present his Master of Fine Arts thesis exhibit until April 1 at the Paul Mesaros Gallery of the Creative Arts Center. MFA Thesis Exhibitions are cutting edge contemporary works that represent the highest level of achievement for WVU students as they receive their Master of Fine Arts degree from the Division of Art and Design, according to a CAC press release. Anslow’s exhibit, titled “Immediacy & Gesture,” showcases a variety of artwork focusing on the relationships between energy and action. “My work is inspired by the

vessel and revolves around immediacy and gesture. It speaks about ceramic material and the process of construction,” Anslow said. “Communicating the action and energy of the forming process, as well as the way that forces, such as gravity and temperature, affect my work is my goal. It’s important to translate the softness and malleability of the clay and the fluidity of the glaze.” Anslow prepares most of his pieces in atmospheric kilns due to the unpredictability the various surfaces provide and the authenticity they can add to his project. “The surfaces and colors I strive for are reminiscent of brick, granite and sand stone. I choose to fire my forms in atmospheric kilns, such as wood and salt, because these kilns

leave evidence of the firing process,” Anslow said. “By stacking the kiln in a specific way I am able to channel the flow of the flame and produce unique patterns on the work.” Anslow received a bachelors degree in visual art from Bethany College in Bethany, W.Va. and began working with ceramics in 2002, focusing on “everyday utilitarian” pottery. He now operates his own pottery business, “All Walks of Clay,” and has exhibited at the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute in China, and Strictly Functional Pottery National in Lancaster, Pa. “Since arriving at WVU, I’ve been challenged to think outside the box and try to find my self in the clay,” Anslow said.

Tribute to late comic Greg Giraldo a fitting send-off to a comedy great JAMES CARBONE A&E WRITER

Comedy is awesome. The fact there is a whole profession built around making people laugh sounds like the perfect job to me, and, like any job, there are those who it better than others. Comedy lost one of its bests this past year in Greg Giraldo, a comedian who was featured on “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn,” “Dave Attell’s Insomniac Tour” and many celebrity roasts. Now Comedy Central is airing a special dedicated to the comic, “Give it up for Greg Giraldo,” an hour-long tribute to Giraldo featuring clips of his performances as well as interviews with his friends and compatriots in the comedy business. The clips featured are from his early performances all the way to his very last night on stage, Sept. 24, 2010. It also interviews names from all over the business, such as Jeffrey Ross, Conan O’Brien, Bob Saget and Sarah Silverman, each talking about not only their personal experiences with Giraldo but

Besides his career in comedy, the special also focuses on his other troubles: issues with his family and children,

QUESTIONABLE CALLS How far will WVU advance in the NCAA Tournament? by tony dobies sports editor

West Virginia has nine players on its roster who were on last year’s team that made it to the Final Four. If the Mountaineers can somehow channel their inner 2010, they could make a run in this year’s NCAA Tournament. But, this year’s path is just a bit tougher. WVU, as a two-seed in 2010, had a pretty easy path to the Elite Eight. Morgan State was no challenge for the Mountaineers, and Missouri and Washington were just out-toughed by them in the next two rounds. A team like that – with seniors like Da’Sean Butler and Wellington Smith and future NBA player Devin Ebanks – it was easy to do all of that. Flash forward a year later, and the roster and makeup of the team is completely different. And the route to the school’s second straight Final Four is much harder. WVU has been so inconsistent throughout this season – not just game by game but half by half. For that reason, I can conceivably see the Mountaineers losing in the second round to Kentucky or going even further and perhaps making the second weekend of the big dance. Realistically, Kentucky wants revenge and is a little more talented than WVU this year. The simple fact is, WVU will have to win six games to take home the national championship. It hasn’t won more than four games in a row during a stretch this season. But that doesn’t mean the Mountaineers can’t make the Sweet 16. I just don’t see it happening.

by brian kuppelweiser Sports writer

How far the West Virginia men’s basketball team advances in the NCAA Tournament will depend on which team shows up on gameday. If the Mountaineers struggle to make shots like they have done throughout most of the season, an early exit from the tournament will occur – most likely in the third round against Kentucky. It isn’t unfathomable to think head coach Bob Huggins will rally the Mountaineers. A push by Huggins along with a few timely shots could send WVU into the Elite Eight. Tough victories against Notre Dame, Louisville, Purdue and Connecticut were proof this team has the potential to make some noise during March Madness. Unfortunately, I have the Mountaineers falling to the Wildcats in the third round of the NCAA Tournament, which will be a disappointing end to a such a tough season. Although Kentucky’s roster is vastly overhauled from the team that lost to WVU last season in the Elite Eight, the Wildcats will be seeking revenge. All told, WVU is just too inconsistent to make a deep run. Point guard Truck Bryant has been in a shooting funk all season long, while fellow guard Casey Mitchell has tailed off after his early season scoring tear. Forward Kevin Jones has shown flashes of brilliance, in particular against Louisville, but he has not been able to be the driving force that many predicted him to be at the beginning of the year. In the end, it will be too little, too late for the Mountaineers.

The West Virginia men’s basketball team definitely has one of the more intriguing roads to the Final Four this season. First, the Mountaineers got put into what is probably the most difficult region in the entire tournament. They are in the East region, which includes the No. 1 overall seed, Ohio State, as well as three other Big East teams. What’s even more interesting is the fact that West Virginia is one of two teams that had to wait to find out who it will be playing in its first game of the tournament, thanks to the addition of three more teams to the tournament field. With all that said, I think the Mountaineers will lose in the third round of the tournament to the Kentucky Wildcats. While they can definitely beat the Wildcats, I have a feeling Kentucky’s youth and athleticism will overpower the Mountaineers. If West Virginia does win, it will be because of the amount of experience it has over Kentucky. It will also need to find ways to slow down the Wildcats’ two star players, Terrence Jones and Brandon Knight. Jones will likely be covered by Kevin Jones when the Mountaineers are in their man-toman defense, while Knight will be covered by Mazzulla. But the best bet for the Mountaineers to slow down Kentucky will be to use their matchup zone, much like they did in their win over Connecticut. By doing those things, West Virginia could beat Kentucky and move on to face Ohio State in the Sweet 16, but I just don’t see it happening.

Continued from page 16 than Connecticut did in the middle portion of the season. But, to be fair, it’s much easier to win games in the Mountain West Conference than it is in the Big East Conference. There will be some who say Walker doesn’t deserve to be the National Player of the Year since he wasn’t even able to beat out Notre Dame’s Ben Hansbrough for Big East Player of the Year. While that’s a good argument, in this case, it isn’t good enough to deny Walker. The conference Player of the Year awards are mostly there to honor the player who was the best during conference play. Even though Walker was good in Big East play, Hansbrough had better stats against conference teams, and his team finished higher in the standings. But this is National Player of the Year. It should go to the player who was the best in the country for the entire season, not just the non-conference or conference schedules. Based on his regular season resume alone, Walker deserved to be very high up on the list of candidates. After the Big East Tournament, he should be a shoo-in. Nobody has ever led his team on a run like Walker led UConn last week at Madison Square Garden.

m.bball

Continued from page 16 holding their head down. Everyone knows that this is a new season for us,” Jones said. “We are starting 0-0 and hopefully we finish 6-0.” West Virginia won’t have as much time to fully focus on

women’s basketball

Connecticut’s Kemba Walker holds the Most Outstanding Player trophy after defeating Louisville in the finals of the Big East championship on Saturday. Think about it for a second. He nearly played every second of five games on five consecutive nights, and, even though he surely felt tired, he had that team on his back the whole time. At no time during the Big East Tournament did anybody question whether or not there was another player on the floor who was even close to as good as he was. That’s pretty impressive, considering this was the best conference in the country. Counting the Maui Tournament at the beginning of the year, that’s twice this season that Walker has not only excelled in big games, he’s thrived and has shown he shines most when the spotlight is on him. What did Fredette do on his biggest stage during Championship Week? His BYU team got blown out

by San Diego State in the Mountain West championship game, but Fredette scored 30 points. That’s all that counts though, right? Honestly, even if it isn’t Walker who wins it, a strong case should be made for Ohio State big man Jared Sullinger. The outstanding freshman has emerged as the best player on the nation’s best team, and, if not Walker, it should be Sullinger to win it. Just remember, though, this award shouldn’t go to the guy who’s on the best team or the guy who can score the most. It belongs to the player who has proved throughout the year he is better than every other player in the country. And that player is Kemba Walker.

its opponent as most NCAA Tournament teams. Because of the new 68team field, the Mountaineers were part of the 12-seed playin game that played Tuesday night. WVU will play the winner of the Alabama-Birmingham and Clemson game on Thursday at 12:15 p.m. in Tampa.

“We’ve had a bonding experience over the last few days at practice,” Jones said. “We’ve got team chemistry back, which we didn’t have in the Garden … Everyone is in good spirits, so I think we’ll have a nice run in the NCAA Tournament.”

Invitation to apply for

Dunning’s improvement seen as Daily Athenaeum West Virginia’s season progresses Editor-In-Chief and BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS WRITER

For West Virginia women’s basketball redshirt sophomore Ayana Dunning, this season couldn’t get here quick enough. After transferring to WVU from LSU following her freshman year, Dunning was forced to look on from the bench as her new team was in the middle of having the best season in program history. All she just wanted to was get out there and play with them. When she finally got to do that this season, she did what she could to make a quick impact. It hasn’t necessarily been easy, though. “It’s kind of difficult to come back from sitting out for a whole year,” Dunning said. “(Last year) I got adjusted to what the system was like, and I’m fitting in pretty well playing with the rest of the team this year.” Coming out of high school, the Columbus, Ohio, native had West Virginia on her list before deciding to head to LSU. In her freshman year with the Tigers, she averaged five points and four rebounds per game before transferring. Once her decision was made, it was time for Dunning to get used to her new surroundings, both on and off the court. “There were so many things that were different. Just getting used to the new campus, learning new teammates. You surround yourself with 12 to 14 different people that you’re going to be with year-round that you come in here not knowing,” Dunning said. “I probably leaned toward (WVU seniors) Madina (Ali) and Vanessa (House) the most. They’re obviously seniors now, so they’ve been here.” When Dunning finally got her chance to show what she could do on the court in a Mountaineer uniform, things weren’t going as well as she had hoped. While she was grabbing four rebounds per game, her scoring just didn’t seem to be coming along as it could have been. In her first 18 games of

the year, she was averaging just 3.8 points per game. In the Capital Classic against Marshall, Dunning had what looked to be her breakout performance for the year. She poured in 16 points to go with seven rebounds to lead the Mountaineers to a blowout win over the Herd. It was that game that, in her opinion, represented a huge confidence builder heading into the final half of the year. “That gave me a lot of help, because after sitting out a year, you lose your confidence in your game abilities,” Dunning said. “You just practice and lift, and you start to lose sight of what you can really do in a game situation. “It gave me a lot of confidence and just showed me that I could still do it.” And that boost came at just the right time, as the Mountaineers were preparing to head into the toughest portion of their Big East Conference schedule. As she soon came to find out, when you play in the Big East, having another performance like hers against Marshall wouldn’t come easy. “For Big East play, you always have to be geared up just because there are so many good teams,” Dunning said. “Each night, anybody can go out there and win or lose, and if you’re not on your game, they will beat you.” With Dunning’s first season in the Big East, she also ap got to experience some- West Virginia sophomore center Ayana Dunning fights for a ball against a Marshall player thing nobody on this team in the teams’ matchup in January. could’ve expected, especially after the success it had last season.

Notre Dame cited by state from violations in death of student SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Indiana regulators fined Notre Dame $77,500 on Tuesday for six safety violations in the October death of a 20-year-old student who was killed when the hydraulic lift he was on toppled over in high winds while he was filming football practice. The school failed to maintain safe working conditions or heed National Weather Service warnings on a day wind speeds in the area reached 53 mph, the Indiana Department of Labor said. “The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrated that the university made a decision to utilize its scissor lifts in known adverse weather conditions,” agency Commissioner Lori Torres said. Declan Sullivan, a junior film student from Long Grove, Ill., died Oct. 27 after the lift he was on fell over. Less than an hour earlier, he had tweeted his concerns about what he described as “terrifying” weather. “Gusts of wind up to 60 mph today will be fun at work … I guess I’ve lived long enough,” he wrote. The scissor lift was not supposed to be used in winds above 28 mph, but the weather service had issued a warning saying winds of 25 mph to 35 mph were expected with gusts of up to 45 mph. Torres said the university was at fault for allowing Sullivan to be in the lift after the weather service had issued the advisory. The school has until April 7 to accept the findings and pay the fines, contest the safety orders or meet with the agency. University spokesman Dennis Brown said the school had no immediate response because officials were reviewing the report. The Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, said in an email in November to students, faculty, staff and alumni that the school was responsible for Sullivan’s death because it failed to protect him. Sullivan’s parents, Barry and Alison, issued a statement saying they appreciated the thorough investigation. “This report is an important step in preventing future accidents, but its findings do not change the fact that Declan is not with us,” they wrote. Sullivan’s uncle, Mike Miley, said the report hadn’t changed the family’s opinion, saying they hope others will learn from Sullivan’s death and take appropriate safety steps in the future. The other violations included a failure to make annual, monthly or weekly inspections of the lifts for more than a year; a failure to have the scissor lift serviced as required by the manufacturer; and a failure to have an operator’s manual on the unit. The lift was also missing some warning labels while others were faded and weathered. Notre Dame announced last week that it will no longer use hydraulic lifts for videographers at football practices and has begun installing remote-controlled cameras at its outdoor practice fields. The new cameras are expected to be in operation by the start of spring football practice on March 23.

of highly ranked rival North Carolina and a surprise run to the ACC tournament final in his first season to an upset of eventual national champion Duke and a run to the ACC tournament semifinals in 2010. But he failed to sustain any momentum from those big wins, never making it to the NCAAs and twice going to the NIT. His resignation comes less than a week after N.C. State (1516) closed its second losing season under the former point guard who led the Wolfpack to an improbable national championship in 1983. This season, N.C. State was picked to finish fourth after bringing in one of the nation’s top recruiting classes to join an experienced group that included returning all-ACC big man Tracy Smith. But Smith sat out 10 games after knee surgery, while the rest of the team never seemed to come together. Lowe had said he wasn’t focusing on his future. But the 7567 loss to Maryland in the first round of the ACC tournament Thursday night felt like Lowe’s farewell. “I love this school,” Lowe said. “I poured my sweat here for four years to give it my best, and it was my hope and dream to come back here and do something special again. So, yeah, it means a lot more to me than it might mean to another coach or something. “It hurts me because I know what it’s about down here. I know what it’s like, and I know what it’s like to win here. I know how the people will get behind you and the true fans will stick with you and enjoy that thing some. Yeah, it means a lot more to me.” Lowe was one of the most beloved figures in program history after being a part of the “Cardiac Pack” team that upset Houston on a last-play dunk to win the 1983 title under Jim Valvano. He arrived in 2006 after a messy monthlong coaching search that missed on top targets—including John Calipari and Rick Barnes. Lowe called his hiring a “dream come true” and embraced the program’s tradition while talking of building on the success of Herb Sendek before him. But Lowe, an assistant with the NBA’s Detroit Pistons at the time, had no college coaching experience when he was hired. N.C. State went 7-33 in ACC road games with 23 of those losses coming by double-digit margins under Lowe. The Wolfpack also lost 13 of 16 to Duke and North Carolina, including the past 10 meetings with the Tar Heels.

Oklahoma’s Capel fired NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma fired coach Jeff Capel on Monday after he followed a trip to the NCAA tournament’s regional finals with the program’s first back-to-back losing seasons since 1967. Capel was 96-69 in five seasons with the Sooners, but just 27-36 over the past two after Blake Griffin entered the NBA draft early and became the No. 1 overall pick. “This isn’t about our current N.C.

West Virginia point guard Truck Bryant tries to drive against Marquetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jae Crowder during the second round of the Big East Tournament last Wednesday. because we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been focusing on an opponent,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just been working on ourselves internally as a team. Everybody is in good spirits and had good energy.â&#x20AC;? Jones said WVU had its worst practices of the year in two straight days prior to fac-

ing Marquette. Huggins gave a simple reason for that: His team was sick. He admitted on Sunday that forward Cam Thoroughman and at least three other players were under the weather during practice, which limited what the team was able to accomplish

in preparation for the Big East Tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have nine guys, and some of those guys are sick and pale and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel very good, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to have a good practice,â&#x20AC;? Huggins said. Despite the sickness, the players arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using that as

Kemba Walker should be National POY All season long in college basketball, the big story everyone has talked about is Jimmer Fredette. The senior point guard has put BYU on his back the entire year, taking them to places the program wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to go while leading the country in scoring in the process. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an easy story to love. Because of that, it seems like everybody wants to anoint â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Jimmerâ&#x20AC;? as this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Player of the Year. Sure, that looks great on paper. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen a pure scorer who is a threat to literally score on every single possession from anywhere on the floor since Stephen Curry left Davidson. But, giving him the award would be the wrong move. The guy who should be the winner started out the season by making a strong statement in Maui and ended it on an even higher note by leading his team through an unprecedented run to a conference championship. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably not difficult to figure out that player is none other than Connecticut point guard Kemba Walker. After missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007, the Huskies came into this year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; much like Fredetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BYU team â&#x20AC;&#x201C; without a ton of supporting talent around their star player. While both of them did an incredible job of scoring whenever they wanted to on whoever they wanted to, Fredette started to move ahead in some peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes when it came to Player of the Year because the Cougars were just winning more games

BY TONY DOBIES When the West Virginia menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team walked into its first practice following a 67-61 loss to Marquette in the second round of the Big East Conference Tournament, it expected a lot worse. With head coach Bob Huggins at the helm, famous around college basketball for his three-hour practices and punishments like running full speed on a treadmill, he couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done his worst. The Mountaineers had lost a 10-point lead against the Golden Eagles en route to an early departure from New York City, leaving the team out of momentum for a chance at a second straight run at a Final Four. However, Huggins decided to take a different tactic into his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practices prior to the NCAA Tournament Selection Show on Sunday. The fourth-year WVU head coach let the Mountaineers off easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you going to do?â&#x20AC;? Huggins asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you going to prepare for? You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any idea what style of play youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going up against, if they throw it to bigs or if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re guard oriented. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any idea.â&#x20AC;? WVU junior forward Kevin Jones even went so far as to call those practices â&#x20AC;&#x153;fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been less stressed,

Marshall Thompson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get nervous in his first career start for the West Virginia baseball team. The redshirt freshman thrived when he received his opportunity to pitch against Bryant University, allowing only one run in six innings. Thompson is expected to start the first game of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubleheader against Eastern Kentucky, and after leading the Mountaineers to a non-conference win last week, head coach Greg Van Zant is hopeful the left-handed pitcher will have the same success in his second start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to see some of the same things we saw against Bryant,â&#x20AC;? Van Zant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If he throws strikes and attacks the strike zone, our defense should be solid, and we should be in a good position to win the game.â&#x20AC;? Thompson consistently threw strikes in his first career start, allowing him to go deep in the game and take some of the burden off of the bullpen. With the first game of the doubleheader slotted to go seven innings and the second game being nine innings, the freshman could save some arms again if he can go deep in his start.

West Virginia 8-7

Eastern Kentucky 6-8

When: Today at 1 p.m. Where: Hawley Field Radio: 91.7 FM U92 Coverage: Read Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of The Daily Athenaeum for a full recap of the doubleheader.

The Mountaineers (8-7) have seen most of their offensive production come from designated hitter Jeremy Gum, who has led the team with a .366 batting average with four doubles, two home runs and six RBIs. Redshirt junior second baseman Dan DiBartolomeo has seen has batting average climb to .365 with four doubles and two home runs, while scoring 14 runs for the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to continue our improvement at the plate,â&#x20AC;? Van Zant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to hit balls harder and put ourselves in a good position to score some runs.â&#x20AC;? After nearly a month on the road, West Virginia has been successful since returning to Hawley Field. The team started its season at home with a 5-1 record last week (8-7 overall), with two wins coming against Bryant

before the Mountaineers won three of four against Rider. Van Zant said the team was excited to continue playing at home and said its desire to compete has been at a high level since practice started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guys have had a excellent attitude all season,â&#x20AC;? Van Zant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are always looking forward to playing and continuing to improve.â&#x20AC;? While Van Zant said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure who would start the second game of the double header for the Mountaineers, he did say he was leaning toward freshman right-handed pitcher Corey Walter. The Wheeling, W.Va., native also made his first career start in a win against Bryant last weekend. Van Zant said he would see how the first game was going before deciding a starting pitcher for the second game. The coach said West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky each benefit from the first game only being seven innings, as it sets up more options with the bullpen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same for both teams,â&#x20AC;? Van Zant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important to see the flow of the game and then make strategy off of that.â&#x20AC;? brad.joyal@mail.wvu.edu
