University investigates harassment of professor by mackenzie mays city editor

The West Virginia University President’s Office for Social Justice is investigating allegations of harassment by a student against his professor.

The investigation follows a guest column submitted by sociology professor Daniel Brewster in Monday’s edition of The Daily Athenaeum, which stated that on a Sept. 24 during the WVU football game vs. LSU, a young man approached him with “words of condemnation” and “defamatory terms” concerning his sexual orientation.

In the column, Brewster expressed his hardships with hiding his sexuality over the years and used the publication as a public “coming out.”

“I remember the first time that I was called ‘gay.’ It was a concept that I didn’t really understand, but I could tell that it was something that most people identified as bad. I kept this personal

Earl Ray Tomblin elected as new governor of W.Va. by mackenzie mays & lydia nuzum da staff

Matt Sunday/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Jeremy Dole, a freshman computer sciences student and member of the WVU Young Democrats, holds a sign promoting newly-elected Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin Tuesday afternoon.

West Virginia University students and members of the Morgantown community headed for the polls Tuesday to elect Democrat Earl Ray Tomblin as their governor in a special election issued by the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.

Tomblin was challenged by Republican Bill Maloney, Mountain Party candidate Bob Henry Baber, Independent Marla Dee Ingels, and American Third Position candidate Harry V. Bertram.

The special election was prompted by former Gov. Joe Manchin’s election to the United States Senate last year following the death of senior Sen. Robert C. Byrd – moving Earl Ray Tomblin from state Senate president to acting governor.

“This is an unusual situation, because the election came about only because Sen. Byrd died, and Gov. Manchin ran for the seat and won the seat, thus vacating the governor’s seat,” said WVU Associate Professor of Political Science Neil Berch.

“After a variety of contention on this, the state supreme court ruled that there needed to be a special election, and they set the date for October of this year.”

Berch said because of the special circumstances, it became necessary to hold a special election before the regular gubernatorial election in 2012.

shame and self-hatred inside me since that day. The question of ‘coming out’ has been without doubt the ultimate pressing issue on my mind for quite a few years,” Brewster wrote in the column.

Executive Officer for the President’s Office for Social Justice Jennifer McIntosh released a statement Tuesday concerning the allegations and subsequent investigation: “While this investigation must remain confidential, it is important to clearly state that treating people in a harassing or discriminatory manner – whether based on race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age, sex, national origin, religion or veteran status, is unacceptable. The University is dedicated to the respect, safety and dignity of every individual. It is time we embrace each other with kind hearts and open minds. We simply cannot expect less of ourselves or each other.”

SGA SpeakUp targets voting reform by joshua clark staff writer

West Virginia University students were invited Tuesday evening to discuss election reform and the voting process for the upcoming Student Government Association election.

The main topics for the SpeakUp were candidacy, campaigning and election.

“The point of this is to gather the voice of those within the SGA and outside in the student body,” said SGA President Jason Bailey. ”We want to know how we can better the election process.

We want to create something good, something beneficial for the whole student body.”

The program WVU has been using for voting purposes, VoteNet, is almost out of contract. This gives SGA an opportunity to do something different with its entire election process, Bailey said.

VoteNet has served its purpose since it was put in place 10 years ago, and not everyone is in favor of changing systems, said Ron Justice, Director of Student Organizations Services.

“It’s one of the best online systems you can get,” Justice

“

“The system does what you tell it to do. If done with integrity, the process can be perfect.”

said.

“The system does what you tell it to do. If done with integrity, the process can be perfect. If your code and rules are not right, the system can be manipulated. I’ve been here since paper ballots, but I think with students, technology has to be involved.”

The group also discussed hosting a student information session on candidacy, which would explain how to run for office and get students involved with student government. The signature process has been under scrutiny for several years, officials said.

“I think we should do away with the signature process for several reasons,” said Daniel Brummage, former SGA chief

Students asked to ‘Define Appalachia’ in Mountaineer Week photo contest by lacey palmer correspondent

Each year, a West Virginia University student has the opportunity to submit a photograph that embodies what they feel being a Mountaineer is all about.

This year, as part of the Mountaineer Week Photo Contest, students are being challenged to “capture West

Virginia’s scenic beauty on film.”

Students can submit up to three 4-by-6-inch photographs, in black and white or color, for a chance to win a cash prize and contribute to the Mountaineer Week festivities.

“This year, the photographs will be judged on the theme of ‘Defining Appalachia’,” said Sonja Wilson, Mountaineer

Week adviser and senior program administrator. “We hope that everyone will capture what they believe truly defines Appalachia on film and send it to us.”

About 150 to 200 entries are received for the contest each year, but Wilson said students don’t need a professional background in photography to succeed.

“We’re just hoping that any

student, any amateur photographer, will take pictures of things in West Virginia – places they’ve visited around the state, anything on campus or whatever they feel really fits the theme,” Wilson said.

The photographs will be displayed on the first floor of the Mountainlair throughout the entirety of Mountaineer Week, Oct. 28 through Nov. 6.

Chris Christie says it’s final: No GOP presidential run TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — After a surge of new speculation, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared with finality Tuesday that “now is not my time” to run for president, dashing the hopes of Republicans still searching for someone other than front-runners Mitt Romney and Rick Perry.

Christie had insisted for months that he wouldn’t run.

But then came an intense weekend of reconsideration before he made a firm announcement at a news conference at the New Jersey Statehouse. His decision means the campaign now basically belongs to Romney and Perry, battling to take on President Barack Obama three months before the first GOP voting.

Though both men have extensive party support, Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, has failed to win over some skeptical conservatives, and Perry, the Texas governor, has been falling in opinion polls as quickly as he had risen.

Christie was the latest, perhaps last, hope of some establishment Republicans who had already been rejected by Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan and others who declined to run for president in 2012. He’s been governor of New Jersey for less than two years, but he’s cut the

column was published, he’s received more than 700 emails and Facebook messages from all over the country.

“I spent close to eight hours replying to every single message, email and post,” Brewster said. “In my lifetime, I’ve never experienced such compassion from people.”

Brewster, who came out to his family and closest friends in May, said though he was nervous about coming out publicly, the response has exceeded his expectations.

“It was like a re-birth for me. I never imagined coming out publicly could be so encouraging,” Brewster said.

Although Brewster is known across campus for advocating for the inclusion of minorities and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, he wasn’t as confident when it came to defending himself.

“I’ve lived my life telling people that I was asexual, but I constantly fight for the rights of others. I would always defend someone else, but not myself,” he said. “I have no

budget, curtailed public sector unions, and dealt with a Democratic legislature with disarming and combative confidence.

Christie disputed the idea that his name was just one more on that list.

“They weren’t searching.

They came right to one target, and it was me,” he said Tuesday. “And it has always been me.”

But he said he was sure, “Now is not my time.”

There are still other potential challengers. Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman is showing some promise in New Hampshire; former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has support from social conservatives in Iowa and former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain is rising in national polls. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin still hasn’t said whether she’ll run.

But Christie’s announcement leaves Perry and Romney as the two Republicans who have the profile, campaign organization, fundraising prowess and early-state promise for a serious run at the nomination.

Within hours, Christie donors started picking sides. The Romney campaign said Ken Langone, the Home Depot financier who helped lead the push to get Christie to run, had jumped on board. Iowa businessman Gary Kirke, who met with Christie earlier this year to doubt that from now on I’m going to be more confident in that.”

Though this experience has helped Brewster personally, he said he didn’t submit the column for his own benefit.

“This wasn’t about me or coming out. It was about the fact that I was going to use my experience to help others,” he said. “This wasn’t intended to be a story – it was a chance to use what happened to me as an educational tool for students, staff and faculty here at WVU.” John Bolt, WVU spokesman, said anyone who has been subject to discrimination or harassment for any reason is encouraged to contact the President’s Office for Social Justice for assistance.

“We take all accusations of harassment for whatever reason seriously, and we try to have various programs to educate people and to help them understand that it’s not the way to behave,” Bolt said.

“We’re not going to tolerate this behavior on campus.”

urge him to run, announced he would support Perry.

Both Romney and Perry will be pushing for the support of Christie himself, who now could become something of a 2012 GOP kingmaker. He declined to endorse a presidential candidate on Tuesday, but he promised his backing would mean something if and when he does.

“I’m not a halfway kind of guy,” Christie said.

His support could help give Romney credibility among the tea party conservatives who haven’t fully embraced the Massachusetts governor. And it could give Perry a way to quiet concerns about his viability.

Whoever wins, Christie said he wasn’t seeking the job of vice president.

“I just don’t think I have the personality to be asked,” he said. “I’m not looking for that job.”

The race’s two-man dynamic has already been on display.

Romney’s campaign didn’t bother to attack his Republican opponents, instead focusing on Obama, until Perry joined the race. In the weeks since Perry announced his campaign, the two men have gone after each other on immigration and Social Security. Perry’s campaign is focused almost solely on beating Romney.

Continued from page 1 “The primary for this special election was in the summer, and there was a very low turnout,” he said. “The expectation was that there would be a very low turnout for this election, so it’s really about whose voters showed up at the polls.”

Tyler George, a senior mechanical and aerospace engineering student and president of the WVU Young Democrats, said he worked hard to spread awareness of the special election to young voters across campus, but he’s worries about the turnout due to its unique nature.

“When students move to a new location for school, they can register to vote after only 30 days, but voters need to be registered at least a month before the election,” George

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie announced that he will not run for president in 2012, Tuesday, Oct. 4, at the Statehouse in Trenton, N.J. Perry’s top strategist, said in a recent interview.

Christie’s declaration is a relief for Romney. The pugnacious, East Coast, blue-state governor has a profile that’s similar to the former Massachusetts governor’s – and they draw from much the same pool of money and support. GOP establishment figures, donors and luminaries who were en-

couraging Christie to jump in might now try to help Romney.

And the moneyed, businessminded donors in New York and New Jersey who were waiting on Christie are now free to back the technocratic Romney, a former venture capitalist.

For Perry, Christie’s exit is more complicated. Now, he’ll only have to worry about positioning himself against one

candidate. He won’t have to worry about losing his conservative, tea party support to the budget-cutting New Jersey governor. Romney has gone largely unscathed in recent debates as news and interest has focused on new entrant after new entrant; now it’s more likely that upcoming debates will force Romney to answer tougher questions.

said.

“Unfortunately, this year there was an overlap. So while we were able to register some voters, we weren’t able to register as many as we would during a normal election year.”

The Young Democrats organized a “Honk and Wave” event Tuesday to encourage last minute indecisive voters.

“We posted signs at several key locations to encourage voters to participate in the special election,” George said. “It’s generally effective on the day of an election, because people who may have been planning on voting but hadn’t really decided can see that last-minute support for a particular candidate.”

Although George said the organization tried its best to get more young adults to register to vote for the special election, he is hoping for more luck next election.

“In 2010, we registered a few thousand voters, but we’ve decided not to focus too much of our time on it as of now,” he said. “We will be strongly focusing on it next semester due to the primaries and the next general election.”

Ashley Deem, a junior political science student who recently served as campaign field director for former gubernatorial candidate Betty Ireland, said she hopes WVU students realize the impact their votes can have.

“I can absolutely not stress enough the importance of youth involvement in politics today,” Deem said. “I’m personally involved with West Virginia politics because I believe in the leaders and constituents of this state.

“I hope to increase youth participation within the grassroots level over the next 12 months to help secure a successful election year in 2012.”

Deem said more young adults need to take advantage of the opportunity to reshape the state’s political system.

“The landscape of West Virginia politics is changing, and this is our opportunity to be at the forefront,” Deem said.

“This race has received national coverage, and we can sense its importance by the overwhelming support from the governor’s associations. These organizations are showing, with their dollar, that they believe in our state.

Isn’t it time we reciprocate with a high voter turnout?”

Tomblin will serve out the last 14 months of the term until the regular election next November, and the primary for that regular election will be held in the spring, while candidates will start running again in January and February. mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

‘Goblin’ Tyler, The Creator Tyler, The Creator came out of nowhere in the past year and turned into one of the most talked about rap artists around. A part of rap group Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, Tyler, The Creator took everyone by surprise by claiming Best New Artist at the VMA’s.

The 20-year-old’s gruesome lyrics, vulgar language and disregard of other peoples’ opinions has instilled a sense of respect for the hard-core rap game some people may not have had before.

The most popular song of Tyler, The Creator’s is “Yonker,” that brought him to the winner’s podium during the VMA’s, “Yonkers.”

The lyrics, while creative, are about as vulgar as vulgar can get, portraying what could be interpreted as an internal struggle with the narrator.

The new style that Tyler, The Creator has introduced to the rap game has taken the game to an entirely new level.

‘21’ Adele

‘Eye Contact’

Fleet Foxes

Adele has become one of the biggest names in soulful singing.

With her second album released this year, “21,” Adele took audiences by storm as soon as it hit the airwaves.

After the release of her first album, “19,” the jump, not only in age but mainly in maturity, was blindingly obvious within seconds of her second album.

The first track of the album, “Rolling in the Deep” tells the story of a girl falling in love with a boy, yet this love doesn’t work out.

Now as she looks back on the relationship, she is nostalgic to what could have been but keeps a positive attitude about the entire ordeal.

The album takes Adele’s performances to an entire new level, showing not only a jump in age but a clear leap in maturity.

Gang Gang Dance

“Helplessness Blues,” the second release from Seattle folk group Fleet Foxes picks up right where their best-selling self-titled debut left off.

There’s everything you expect and want from this back-to-theland band. There are delicate guitars and intricate falsetto harmonies, and there is imagery about youth, nature and musings on life itself.

Despite these similar qualities, Fleet Foxes is not the same band who won over both the NPR crowd and the bro-wavers alike based on the strength of their enchanting debut EP “Sun Giant.”

Since then, the band has undergone a few line-up changes and grown in depth and maturity.

Lead vocalist and primary lyricist Robin Pecknold turns his gaze inward, choosing to examine the personal and the spiritual. Over the course of 12 beautiful tracks, Pecknold demonstrates how the two are inseparable.

“Eye Contact,” the latest record from Brooklyn-noise collective Gang Gang Dance, finds the genre-defying group making a decided shift toward a more pop-influenced sound.

In the past, Gang Gang Dance has built towering, sonic attacks of noise, distortion and plenty of electronics. Drawing inspiration from deep-psych, U.K. grime and diverse selections of world music, Gang Gang Dance has always been ahead of the curve while remaining stubbornly underground.

On “Eye Contact,” the group takes a stab at experimental pop and ends up creating its oddest, yet most widely viable release to date.

Singer Lizzi Bougatsos uses her voice as yet another instrument among the layers of piano and synth arpeggios, blending everything into one shimmering, ephemeral blur.

SGA must continue to reach out to students The West Virginia University Student Government Association held a SpeakUp event last night to address their election reform. In an effort to revitalize the integrity of SGA, the organization heard students’ opinions about election issues.

Last spring, there were multiple violations following the SGA elections. After an investigation and a hearing by the Board of Governors, the results were compromised

and a revote was called.

Although the guilty parties were penalized and a successful revote was administered, the image of SGA continued to be negative.

Multiple events in the past year have shed a bad light on SGA. From voter fraud to drunken driving, it seems its image is forever tarnished.

But with events like last night’s, that could change.

Because of the low turnout last night, SGA should

continue to reach out to the students on campus and find out what they think should change within SGA. While it was a good public relations move for the organization, real change will not come after just one public forum.

After an ugly election last spring, WVU students have good reason not to take the organization seriously.

But that doesn’t mean excellent leadership and deter-

mination within SGA couldn’t change the overall perception. If everyone in SGA works together, students’ respect for the organization will improve.

The SpeakUp was a great idea, and there should be many more to come. Next time, there should be more advertisement around campus to get more students there.

SGA should begin a campaign for election reform; they should let change hap-

pen with more student input.

SGA officials must involve students who ordinarily are not present at SGA events, the SpeakUp events are great opportunities for the students’ opinions to be represented.

There are nearly 30,000 students at WVU, and there is no way that the same 20-40 students who appear at SGA meetings can accurately represent the student body.

Ways to stay healthy during the dreary fall season sam viggiano columnist

If there is one element of fall I hate the most, it is Morgantown’s dreary October, which typically lowers spirits and students’ health. If you have not already been sick, prepare yourself.

As college students who spend gratuitous amounts of time in our primary buildings, dorms rooms, the library or tightly closed spaces, such as practice rooms or labs, we are prone to the illnesses our colleagues carry.

However, there are ways to stay well and, if followed, the likelihood of missing a class, an exam, or a friend’s party will be lessened.

First, all students and faculty should get sleep. As one who is prone to staying up till midnight (or later) to study, practice or work on homework, I have found myself becoming more and more tired as the weeks progress. A healthy sleep schedule must be maintained for optimal health.

Sleep, although a controversial and a highly studied subject, is important for both mental and physical health.

For those who have taken Psychology 101 at West Virginia University, you might have learned from Robert Feldman’s “Essentials of Understanding Psychology” that, “sleep is a requirement for normal human functioning …

(We sleep) to restore and replenish our brains and bodies.

For instance, the reduced activity of the brain during nonREM sleep may give neurons in the brain a chance to repair themselves.”

Although we might be resting, the brain is not at rest during sleep. When we are sleeping, we fulfill the evolutionary action theory of Dreams for Survival, where the information that is relevant to daily survival is reconsidered and reprocessed.

Thus, when studying or

working quick power naps are best for maintaining focus.

According to Forbes’ “7 Ways to Stay Well,” napping “(help) enhance memory and reduce stress. A midday snooze reverses information overload … A NASA study shows that napping helps you focus better by improving your ability to focus on one task while holding other tasks in memory. But, cautions the study, it’s only a short-term fix and no substitute for a good night’s sleep. It’s also important to limit your nap to not more than 30 minutes.”

I wouldn’t recommend chilling all of the time, though.

Nancy Kalish, a writer for Prevention, a healthy living based magazine, recommends to, “Party on – moderately. People who are socially active get fewer colds, even when intentionally exposed to the cold virus. Researchers postulate that frequent socializers tend to be more positive and maintain high-quality emotional ties, both of which strengthen immunity.”

And even though I would advise to those students who continue to go to class despite the level of their illness to stay home, but for those who do not want to get sick, don’t stay in one place. Go out. Be active.

Exercise is crucial to staying well.

Beyond being fit, exercise releases endorphins that suppress and generally make us feel good. Morgantown can be a dreary place, and with midterms on the horizon, one might feel a little depressed.

Fifteen minutes to a half hour of jogging, light weight lifting or stretching can aid in preventing illness.

Although Forbes recommends getting sunlight, our dreary October weather doesn’t agree with this nationally recognized magazine.

However, I wouldn’t run to the tanning beds either. Different types of food can aid in maintaining wellness; a daily vitamin D supplement helps prevent 70 percent more colds than those taking a placebo, according to a 3-year study by the (Journal of Epidemiology

If you feel a cold coming on, try zinc, which, in studies by the Center for Immunotherapy of Cancer and Infectious Diseases at the University of Connecticut and Yale University Prevention Research Center, has proven to prevent illness among large groups of people.

Foods such as fish or Omega-3 rich supplements provide the protein necessary for our muscles and cells.

Likewise, yogurt, has proven,

through an 80-day Swedish study published in Environmental Health, to provide Lactobacillus reuteri, which is a probiotic that appears to stimulate infection-fighting white cells. This particular probiotic seems to have prevented 33 percent of sick days.

Similarly, those who swallowed a garlic capsule during the 12 weeks of winter, according to study published by (AdvancesinTherapy.com), suffered three and a half less sick days than those without the

garlic supplement.

Black tea, too, can turn your immune system’s T cells into “Hulk cells,” according a Harvard study, producing 10 times more interferon, a protein that battles cold and flu infections.

And while all this information might be startling or caused your loss of interest; know that if you are the person not taking care of yourself, you are the catalyst preventing people from being well.

If you’re not washing your hands, you’re coughing or

sneezing without a tissue or covering your mouth and continuing to go to class without the aid of a cold supplement, you are the University’s health issue.

A day off might be nice for your physical and mental being. Of course, I do not recommend skipping class at the sign of a sniffle, but if one should take the precautions to be a healthier person, the WVU student, faculty and community will thank you for a healthier year.

Opinions should inspire debate and controversy carol fox copy editor

Ok, so I’m going to go ahead and address this, though it may seem a bit redundant to you, but what you’re about to read is going to be an opinion article – about opinions.

While I’m sure no one would argue it is important to discuss current events and other controversial issues in a calm, intelligent and progressive manner, the material that is often deemed opinion article-worthy generally fills me

DA

with nothing but indifference.

I am deeply troubled by this apathetic sensation, because I am confident this is the opposite of what an opinion article should do.

Perhaps I am misguided in my thoughts, but it seems to me opinion articles exist not just for authors’ use as a medium through which to grandstand and opine, but more importantly, to convince their prospective readers to agree with them, or at least consider their points.

When writing for a college publication, you will inevitably be writing for a more liberal audience than you would find in most other communi-

ties. The nature of the university setting (ideally) is a group of intelligent people coming together with the sole purpose of learning, and often these high-minded pursuits bleed over into our personal beliefs about the world.

Because the ideologies of any number of writers and readers in our community may lean to the left, one can (and should) publish slightly more liberal opinions and gain quite a constituency of readers.

But, if a writer continues to attempt to make the same point over a period of time using different incidences as support, they will lose their

audience.

We understand you feel Michele Bachmann is an undereducated, close-minded troll of a tea partyer, and you know we tend to agree with you.

A one-note opinion writer is boring, especially when that note is something we’re all singing; only we’re doing it without the microphone of a newspaper to project our voices. Your argument might be sound; it might even be eloquent. But if you are only looking for agreement, you could probably just discuss things with your friends over some drinks.

What I want as a reader of opinion articles is for some-

one to ruffle my feathers.

And, if they aren’t ruffling my feathers, I want them to at least inform me of something going on in the world that may inspire some sort of passionate response.

Admittedly, opinion writers may be tasked with the most difficult objective.

Offering one’s opinion, especially one that may be unpopular, can elicit ridicule from those readers who refuse to understand that every single person on this earth sees the world in his or her own unique way.

In fact, it is this amazing amount of difference that makes opinion articles worth-

while. We can (and should) listen to each other’s concerns. Through this, we might spark a debate, engage in discourse, and learn something about the world around us.

We need those radical, outlandish and offensive opinion articles to wake us up and force us to have educated worldviews.

I guess what I’m really trying to say is that I want to be offended. I want to disagree with you, and I want you to tell me why my preconceived notions about any particular subject are wrong.

Offend me – and, while you’re at it, you may just convert me.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you juggle a relaxed, let-it-be attitude with a need to break free from the status quo. No one really likes change, and you are no exception. Once you get going, you could be difficult to contain. You will tend to go overboard. Knowing when to call it quits could be more important than you realize. If you are single, the unexpected defines your meeting with a very special person. Excitement always will surround this relationship. This person could go in and out of your life, perhaps because of his or her work. If you are attached, the two of you might find spontaneity playing a bigger role in your life. You’ll revitalize your bond with this energy. AQUARIUS always is fun to be around.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You might feel as if you are going to run into the same drudgery as you have in recent days. But you get a delightful surprise! Others’ attitudes could change, and you respond in kind. Let it all hang out.

Tonight: Get together with friends.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Use the a.m. for communicating. You might be surprised by what comes up for you in the middle of a conversation. Know how important it is to focus on a project. A surprise insight points to a better method.

Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Listen to what an informed associate shares this morning. Whether you agree or like what you are hearing is irrelevant. You

might be inspired to do your own research later in the day. Understand your limits. Tonight: Take off ASAP. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Others continue to dominate in a manner that might surprise you. If you know what you want, you might want to make a suggestion in that direction. At a later point, you can do exactly what you desire. Tonight: Go for it!

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Notice what is going on around you this morning. Be willing to forge ahead in a new direction. You’ll feel much better on this new course, though there is an element of insecurity and excitement. Trust your instincts. Tonight: Defer to a loved one.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Plug some of that good spirit into your morning activities. This afternoon, you become far more somber and serious. You have the capacity to get a lot done, and quickly at that. Make extra time for yourself. Tonight: You’re focused on the matter at hand.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Focus on your personal priorities in the morning. Once you clear your head, you’ll be able to concentrate with greater ease.

Others appreciate your lightness, wit and ability to make them feel better, even in the work arena. Tonight: Try something frisky.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Keep communicating the bottom line

this morning. Someone will get it. Complete all your interpersonal dealings by noon, if possible. You will need to pull back in the afternoon, perhaps to do research or just to handle an issue. Tonight: Your home is your castle.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You might want to continue down a certain path, but it is clear that you need to rethink your finances. An extravagant tendency emerges. Go with creativity and an unusual idea. Tonight: A midweek get-together.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Use the morning to the max. Someone approaches you, expressing his or her authentic feelings. You can hardly be anything but flattered. In this mood, you decide to let go of patterns, and indulge and treat others. Tonight: Enjoy going out.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Move through the morning with discretion. Your energy soars as your charisma magnetizes others. Decide to do only what you want and what is important.

You’ll find that others’ responses could be surprising. Tonight: Go full speed ahead.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Listen to news that comes through a friend or a meeting. Your first reaction might not be your final one. You will be going through many different perspectives as you try to reframe what is happening. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Sculpture exhibits to close showing Thursday by rebecca lebherz a&e correspondent

This week is the last opportunity to see the exhibits of Thaddeus Mosley and Nayme Brown at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center.

Sculptors Thaddeus Mosley and Nayme Brown’s works have been on display since September 1 in the Paul Mesaros and Laura Mesaros Galleries, respectively. The exhibit ends Thursday.

The Laura and Paul Mesaros Galleries in the CAC provide a place for local and world artists to showcase their crafts to the Morgantown community and WVU students.

“We do have a pretty big crowd of students that come, as well as community members” said Robert Bridges, curator of the galleries and the WVU Art Museum.

“I’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback from people about the two exhibitions,” Bridges said.

Mosley gave a lecture at WVU September 22 to share and discuss his artwork. He presented a slideshow of his pieces and explained the kind of work he does and the materials he uses, according to Jordan Welsh, a sophomore art

and design student at WVU and gallery supervisor at the CAC. Mosley’s exhibit includes eight pieces ranging from 2002 to 2011.

The sculptures are made of either walnut or cherry wood, and in some cases both. Mosley finds his medium, wood, in his native home of Western Pennsylvania.

He is a self-taught artist and finds inspiration from African art, American jazz, and artists Constantin Brancusi and Isamu Noguchi.

Nayme Brown’s exhibit featured 19 pieces from “The John Henry Works.” Brown received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1993 and his Master of Fine Arts in painting and printmaking from Yale University in 1997.

“I like this one a lot better,” said Welsh. “It shows more culture and the images are more symbolic.”

Brown uses mediums such as oil, brush and ink, pastel and charcoal, on panel and paper.

The subject of his collection is the American folk hero John Henry, who has been associated with African-American labor, and the concept of man versus the machine.

“It shows a lot of history that has to do with the working class and black history,” Welsh said.

Adrianne Knight, a sophomore criminology major, said she thought Brown was very creative.

According to Knight, a theme of loneliness may have been intended in the collection. She noticed the contrast between pieces, some with groups of people and others with only one individual.

Tim Taylor, a first-year pharmacy student, thought the exhibits were very unique.

“I never expected to see art like this here,” Taylor said. “It’s very nice and interesting.”

Shoji Satake, a ceramicist, assistant professor and Ceramics Area Coordinator at WVU, will be the next artist featured in the Paul Mesaros Gallery.

The Laura Mesaros Gallery will have other ceramic art titled “Shared Journeys II,” and both galleries will open Oct. 13.

The Mesaros Galleries will be open and free to the public from noon to 9:30 p.m. today and tomorrow for a last chance to witness the exhibitions of two talented artists: Thaddeus Mosley and Nayme Brown. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

123 to host The Felice Brothers

by Charles Young Associate A&E Editor

The Felice Brothers, a fivepiece folk and Americana group from Brooklyn, N.Y., will bring their distant brand of retro-influenced music to the stage of 123 Pleasant Street tonight at 10 p.m. with support from Sleepwalker.

After growing up in Palenville, N.Y., in the Catskill Mountains, the Felice Brothers moved to New York City and began playing music together on subway platforms.

The group released their debut album, “Though These

Reins and Gone,” in 2006 and have been relentlessly touring the country ever since. Having played venues of all shapes and sizes, from tiny bars to opening a national tour for Bright Eyes in 2007, the group can count themselves among the hardest working independent artists out there today.

By incorporating such traditional elements of rural and folk music as the accordion and a washboard, The Felice Brothers established themselves as forerunners of the Americana revival movement long before it was popularized by contemporary artists such

as Mumford and Sons and The Avett Brothers.

Upon the release of their 2008 self-titled album, The Felice Brothers began to receive increased attention and critical praise based on the strength of rousing sing-a-long tracks like “Frankie’s Gun” and mournful dirges like “Whiskey in My Whiskey.”

Openers Sleepwalker will take the stage at 10 p.m. Tickets for the show are $15 and can be purchased either at the door or online at www.123pleasantstreet.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

The Felice Brothers will be performing tonight at 123 Pleasant Street at 10 p.m.

Jack’s Mannequin’s ‘People and Things’ holds true to band’s talent emily meadows a&e correspondent

Pop-rock band Jack’s Mannequin has returned this week with the anticipated release of its third full-length studio album “People and Things.”

The California-based piano band started as a side project led by Something Corporate singer and pianist Andrew McMahon in 2004, and it has since become a highly successful full-time gig, attracting a cult following of fans.

The new 14-track disc balances well between the band’s familiar upbeat piano melodies and different, more mature and radio friendly works.

McMahon’s talent for writing lyrics and instrumentals has continued to shine through on this album, and his diverse musical creativity is now well established.

Immediately following the release of the band’s first album, “Everything in Transit” in 2004, McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and had to cancel touring to begin chemotherapy treatment.

With strong fan support, the band was then placed on a 3 year hiatus.

In 2008 following his recovery, the band’s well-received album “The Glass Passenger” was released, and McMahon exemplified how

his battle and recovery from cancer could be reflected in the passion and maturity of his new music.

On “People and Things,” certain tracks such as “Hey, Hey, Hey (We’re All Gonna Die)”, “Release Me” and “Amelia Jean” stay true to the typical piano-heavy, lyrically emphasized sound fans are used to from McMahon.

Certainly the biggest surprise on the album is the acoustic melody “Restless Dream,”as the band has never released a song on an album completely absent of piano and in purely acoustic form.

Nevertheless, the track proves to be a pleasant surprise as a beautiful and emotionally fueled four minute song about a failed relationship.

The band takes a different direction on tracks “Platform Fire” and “Casting Lines,” in which it seems they have done an excellent job utilizing ‘90s vibes and influences, such as Ben Folds Five, in its sound.

Notably more musically mature tracks on the album include “Television” and “Amy, I”.

“My Racing Thoughts” is the catchy first single released off the album, though it should not be a song to judge the album’s quality from.

“Hostage” is an excellent key track from the album that seamlessly ties together new and old formats of its musical style.

People and Things Jack’s Mannequin

Jack’s Mannequin’s newest album ‘People and Things’ lived up to the positive expectations the band has made for itself.

It can be said there is considerably less emphasis on pianos on this album – the instrument that unquestionably was the sole influence on the band’s sound – making this the albums biggest downfall.

Another issue that may sway long-time fans in the wrong direction is the more radio friendly material produced on this album, but it’s hard to say that in comparison, previous Jack’s Mannequin material couldn’t be radio friendly either.

All in all, “People and Things” has still proven to be another brilliant album to be added to the band’s discography.

Holgorsen calls out fans

brooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum

Head coach Dana Holgorsen looks on during No. 16 West Virginia’s win over Bowling Green.

First-year coach not happy with attendance at Bowling Green game by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

The No. 16 West Virginia football team faces a Connecticut team that comes to Morgantown this weekend with a 2-3 record on the season.

But, in West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen’s mind, that shouldn’t stop Mountaineer fans from supporting the team as much as possible.

No matter how bad the weather is or how early the game starts, elite teams across the country almost always have a strong fan base to every game. Holgorsen was not pleased with the overall support of the fans in last week’s victory over Bowling Green.

“All I heard about was how much this meant to everybody in the state of West Virginia, and this was the ‘NFL’ team here in town and we’re

going to be here to support you,” Holgorsen said of the fans in the state of West Virginia at Tuesday’s weekly press conference. “Well, having 40,000 people at a game isn’t doing that.”

“You only get seven opportunities a year. what’s so hard about it,” he said. “Is it too cold? It wasn’t too cold for our players; wasn’t too cold for our coaches or managers or trainers. They were out there.

So, why did we have 20,000 less than last week (against LSU)?”

The team had all kinds of excuses against Bowling Green not to play well. It was cold and raining, the Mountaineer Mantrip was canceled because of the weather, and the team was playing a lesser opponent.

Despite the disappointment, Holgorsen was still focused on UConn and preparing for a team that he feels

is better than its 2-3 record shows.

The Huskies have a young and talented but inexperienced quarterback in Johnny McEntee. The redshirt sophomore has 913 yards and six touchdown passes on the season.

“It’s a new system for him, which probably held him back a little bit,” Holgorsen said. “The fact that he’s getting to be able to play a lot of football is one reason he’s shown improvement.”

The physicality and toughness of UConn is something that really impressed Holgorsen when he watched film for about two hours Sunday.

WVU’s offensive line is going to have to play a consistent game in the trenches again this week for the offense to be successful.

alex sims sports writer

Mountaineers need answer at keeper The West Virginia men’s soccer team entered 2011 aspiring to be as successful as the 2006 and 2007 teams.

In ‘06, the Mountaineers used an undefeated Big East Conference record to lead them to a 15-3-3 record, and the next year they made it to the Sweet 16.

The success in both of those years could be attributed, in part, to the outstanding play of WVU keepers Nick Noble and Zach Johnson.

That consistent play in the net is one thing that the Mountaineers haven’t had up to this point in the season.

During head coach Marlon LeBlanc’s first year as head coach in 2006, Noble earned all-American honors and posted a .63 goals per game average.

Meanwhile, the offense, led

by New Zealand native Jarrod Smith, averaged 1.76 goals per game.

Johnson, who will also go down as one of the best keepers in WVU history, spent a redshirt year behind Noble on the depth chart and went on to play all but nine minutes throughout his four-year career as a starter.

Johnson appeared in just less than 7,600 minutes on the pitch, recording 36 shut-outs, and 282 saves in 80 starts.

During his 2007 freshman campaign, the Lumberton, N.J., native broke WVU’s single-season shutout record, set by Noble in 2005. This included six straight shutouts in Big East Conference play.

Johnson secured many honors throughout his career including Big East Goalkeeper of the Year in 2008, and finished with a .75 goals per game average.

Much like in 2006, they are aided by outstanding offensive play from a future professional who calls New Zealand home.

Freshman Andy Bevin has been extraordinary, recording six goals, including two gamewinners, leading the offense to a 1.3 goal per game average thus far.

However, this season, LeBlanc has featured two different starters at goalkeeper for the first time during his tenure at WVU. Pat Eavenson transferred from UNC-Charlotte and began the season as the starting keeper, only to be uprooted

by New Mexico transfer, Justin Holmes.

Eavenson started the first four games, three of which

Bailey not surprised by fast start Emotional time for senior Monson by michael carvelli sports editor

by sebouh majarian

Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Stedman Bailey caught 24 passes for 317 yards in 13 games as a freshman.

Through just five games in 2011, he has eclipsed those numbers.

His 27 catches are third on the team, and he is second to junior inside receiver Tavon Austin, with 456 yards.

“I would say the coaching staff, with the offense that we have, just kind of opened my eyes and made me see that I have opportunities to do something big,” Bailey said.

“I’m just taking advantage of my opportunities.”

Bailey knew the opportunities would come once head coach Dana Holgorsen and his dynamic offense came to Morgantown.

He had seen what the offense had the abilities to do in the past, and it gave him an idea that he would be able to excel in it just like so many receivers before him.

“Last year I think (Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin) Blackmon was the only receiver to go for over 1,000 yards, but he had like 1,700, which is amazing,” Bailey said.

“I figured, if I can’t get 1,700, I could at least get to 1,000. I

Most of us think of October as a time when the weather cools, leaves change and of course, it’s the month to get dressed up for Halloween.

For others, it’s the time of year to promote breast cancer awareness and to mourn the losses of its victims.

Abby Monson, a senior middle blocker for the West Virginia volleyball team, is one who appreciates the month more than most.

The Centennial, Colo., native not only juggles the responsibilities of being a student-athlete, but also helps promote and donates to breast cancer awareness.

The issue is one that hits close to home, as Monson’s mother lost her battle to triple-negative breast cancer, a rare form of the disease. “(October) brings up a lot of memories of my mom and I,” Monson said. “It’s a really good time for me to personally remember my mom and to help others be aware of the different possibilities for supporting breast cancer awareness.”

Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Stedman Bailey already has more catches and yards than he had in 2010. figured it could be a breakout year for me.”

And even though he didn’t have a great season in 2010, Bailey’s big start this year hasn’t come as much of a surprise. He always knew he had it in him to be as good as he is.

“I just needed the opportunity to play, and I’ve been given that opportunity, and I’ve been pretty good,” Bailey said. “I just want to do whatever to help my team, and if it takes me getting 100 yards every game, that’s what I’m aiming for.”

Getting 100 yards is something Bailey’s gotten pretty

good at in 2011.

With four catches and 112 yards against Bowling Green, Bailey became the first receiver in WVU history to record three straight 100-yard games.

While some of the credit can go to how explosive the offense has been, one thing Bailey pointed out was the communication between junior quarterback Geno Smith and himself.

The two are former high school teammates and have known each other since middle school. It’s at a point where

of remission for years.

“Monsoon” as Abby’s teammates call her, had taken a trip to Arizona to visit friends on spring break when she got a call from her aunt.

“Right when she called, I knew,” she said.

Things had taken a turn for the worse as Linda was back in the hospital, triggering Abby to return to Colorado to be by her mother’s bedside.

After eight years of battling, Linda couldn’t fight anymore and passed away at the age of 49.

“I figured that my mom wouldn’t die from it, I had figured they would have a cure for it by that point,” Abby said. “I’m just glad I was able to be with her.”

The Mountaineers starting middle blocker was overwhelmed with support from friends, teammates and coaches.

“Everybody on the team and coaching staff have been awesome, they still ask me how I’m doing, and anything they can do to help,” she said.

WVU head coach Jill Kramer made the trip to Colorado for some of the services.

Louisville ready to shake off loss to Marshall, heads to UNC by cody schuler sports writer

Louisville suffered a tough home loss to Marshall last week.

While trying to put the tough defeat in the rear-view mirror, first-year head coach Charlie Strong and his team have to prepare to take a road trip to North Carolina this weekend.

“The Marshall game, it’s very obvious we didn’t play well,” Strong said. “It’s just so hard to stomach when you have two weeks to prepare for a team, and we as a coaching staff didn’t do a good job of preparing our team,” he said.

“Having been on the road the previous two weeks prior, you would have thought we would have came out and played better, but it didn’t happen.”

When asked if Strong would make any significant changes to his depth chart, he clarified the problem wasn’t a specific position, but the entire team performing poorly.

“No, it was just a total team effort, so there’s no shake-up; you can’t shake up one position over another position because no position played well,” he said.

Freshman Teddy Bridgewater made his first true start for Louisville last week. He figures to start again at North Carolina if junior Will Stein is unable to

play. Stein is currently listed as day-to-day and will be reevaluated Friday.

Pittsburgh Pittsburgh head coach Todd Graham’s high-octane offense finally put up numbers resembling a powerful attack in his team’s 44-17 home win over then-No.16 USF. “We were excited about how we played (against USF),” he said. “To be able to have a win over a ranked team and to come out and play a clean game, we only had three penalties, and our defense was able to hold them to only 17 points… so we were very excited about how we played there.”

This week, the Panthers travel to Rutgers, to take on a team Graham sees as a tough opponent for a variety of reasons.

“We know we’re going on the road against a very good Rutgers team, a team that has a lot of momentum right now,” he said.

“We know we have to go in and continue to get better and play disciplined football.”

Graham is hopeful his team has finally picked up his system, and came away from Saturday’s victory with the notion that his team has bonded closer as a unit.

“It was very gratifying to see our guys go out and execute,”

Freshman quarterback Teddy Bridgewater escapes a tackle in its last game against Marshall. The start was Bridgewater’s first of his career.

Graham said.

“Our guys are playing extremely hard and buying into what we’re doing and starting to get a grasp of the systems and how to run them.”

Rutgers Rutgers escaped with a 19-16 double overtime victory at Syracuse last Saturday, taking the team’s first conference victory of the season in the process.

CROSS COUNTRY

Mountaineers have built winning program around in-state recruits by ethan rohrbaugh sports writer

When Sean Cleary took over the West Virginia cross country and track programs in 2007, his mission statement was simple.

The coach aimed “to build upon a program that was already in a very good place when I took over and move it to a higher level; a truly national class level with a model that emphasized excellence in the classroom with excellence on the track.”

Also included in that mission statement was the idea to give West Virginia natives a chance to prove themselves in the program.

“We made a very conscious decision to go out and bring in the types of kids from West Virginia that we believe, in time, can make an impact at the Big East and national level,” Cleary said.

He has held true to that mission statement, as 16 of the 21 girls who currently make up the No. 19 Mountaineers are a native of the Mountain State, with 11 of those 16 coming from a Morgantown or Preston County high school.

“I feel it is our responsibility to bring in as many kids as we can from the state without jeopardizing the overall goals of the program,” Cleary said.

With three top-ten finishes in his first four seasons at the helm, it’s safe to say the goals listed in his mission statement are far from being in jeopardy.

Cleary’s squads have produced a countless number of all-Americans and have made the NCAA championship race an annual affair.

Recent in-state graduates have gone on to outstanding finishes in the Boston Marathon and have even qualified for a shot at making the USA Olympic team.

“The success that we have been enjoying is certainly a huge attraction for many of the in-state recruits,” Cleary said. “But I feel that most important is that they feel they will have the opportunity to surround themselves with national-class runners and should therefore have a great chance of reaching their potential.

“Having the opportunity to come in and run for the Mountaineers may not be everybody’s dream from instate, but it is proving to be a dream of most in-state kids.

We are very proud of the reputation that we have developed around the country with our use of local talent,” Cleary said.

When evaluating in-state talent it’s important to note that not all of West Virginia’s high schools are as enthusi-

“We understand that they might not have the times and performances that many of our other recruits have out of high school,” Cleary said, “but if we see desire, toughness and a willingness to succeed we will quite often give opportunities the young women from West Virginia that might not even be permitted to walk on at the very teams that we are trying to beat.”

Cleary said that in talking with many of WVU’s rivals, he is amazed at the hard line that is drawn when looking at a walk-on athlete.

“We are giving scholarships to girls that are not hitting the standards that many of our rivals set for being a walk-on,” continued the coach. “In our case, we have watched many of these young ladies turn into all-Americans.”

Cleary said that the variable that cannot be measured

by a high school mile time is heart and desire.

“If [these ladies] are given the opportunity to run in this program, they might be intimidated for a while, but over time they realize that they can run much faster than they ever thought possible,” Cleary said. “As they begin to improve, their minds start removing the barriers they might have once had. It is awesome to watch unfold.”

Even with all of the early success in Cleary’s tenure, the coach says that it’s too soon to start talking dynasty.

“I would say that’s a little early to say so, but I do feel that we have shown to be consistently at the front of the country,” Cleary said. “The fact that we have had so much help from our in-state talent is remarkable.

“We’re catching them at a time where I think they’re really cooking, so we have our hands full.”

Sophomore quarterback Chas Dodd started last week’s game for Rutgers, but was replaced midway through the third quarter by freshman Gary Nova. Schiano doesn’t see the competition at the position as

negative and will not name a starter until closer to Saturday.

“We’ve watched (them both) in practice and we have a lot of footage from training camp on and we just kind of have to go with who we think is the best chance this week,” he said. “I think when you have two good quarterbacks, you take it week by week and who gives you the best chance to win.”

able jump up to this point in the season as far as the overall production of the offense goes.

The Mountaineers have been able to spread the ball around and are continuing to get more balanced as the season continued.

“The real test was against LSU, and we put up some good numbers,” Bailey said.

“We lost, but for us to put up almost 500 total yards of offense against those guys was pretty big, and I know, minus the turnovers, it could have

been a different outcome.”

Bailey has enjoyed the success he’s had up to this point, but he understands there’s still a lot of work left to do before he gets where he wants to be.

“It motivates me, because I’ve always wanted to be a receiver that goes for 1,000 yards on the collegiate level,” he said.

“I want to try to do something to put myself in the record books, as something to have myself remembered.”

“I like that people can look at me for energy and encouragement, and that view from outside the court.”

To say Abby is intrinsically motivated is an understatement. While spending part of her summer taking classes in Spain, the senior joined a local gym and worked out for as long as the NCAA rules allow.

The Mountaineers will wear pink jerseys all month, as they promote breast cancer awareness.

Abby not only excels on the court, but academically, too.

She holds around a 3.9 GPA, to go with being a Big East Academic All-Star and has been named to the Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll.

The Monson family stays active with charities and fundraisers as Abby’s father, Paul, helped organize an event affiliated with Race for the Cure in their hometown. The event was very successful as there were over 400 walkers who raised $9,000.

To help promote breast cancer awareness and support one of their own, the Mountaineers will don their pink jerseys this month beginning this Friday when they host DePaul.

They’re a big physical bunch that have played a lot of football and play hard,” he said. “We’ll have to figure out what their plan is and attack it to the best way that we know how to.”

The offense looks to continue its success on the ground this week, but the coach wants people to be at

the stadium to be there to see it improve every week and fix what happened last week.

“The only thing we can do about it is to fix it,” Holgorsen said. “What’s everybody across the state of West Virginia, including the student body, doing to fix the fact that our players had to show up and play in front of 40,000 people?”

All the blame cannot be placed on just the goalkeeping. At the same time, the offense has been equally inconsistent, being shut out against JMU and only mustering one goal on 14 shots against USF.

However, in order for the Mountaineers to reach and surpass the bar set by teams before them, and more importantly to reach the goals they have set for themselves, they will need more consistent play at the keeper position. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
