WVU remembers Pearl Harbor by kelsey montgomery staff writer

West Virginia University students and staff gathered around the mast of the U.S.S. West Virginia Wednesday afternoon to honor the 70th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor.

“WVU feels incredibly honored to be entrusted in the keeping of the mast of the U.S.S. West Virginia,” said WVU President James P. Clements. “It’s an adoring re-

minder of the courage and self-sacrifice that the members of our armed forces have shown throughout our history and continue to show today.”

The ceremony was held in Oglebay Plaza, where the mast of the naval ship that was attacked by Japanese military 70 years ago stands to reflect on the national tragedy and to honor Doris “Dorie” Miller.

Miller served as a steward on the U.S.S. West Virginia, manned an anti-aircraft ma-

chine gun on deck and carried wounded soldiers to safety during the Japanese attack.

Clements labeled him as “the first African-American hero of World War II,” pointing to racial barriers Miller would’ve faced at the time.

Miller died in the line of duty during the war Thanksgiving Day, 1943.

West Virginia Attorney General Darrell V. McGraw Jr. spoke at the ceremony to give honor to those who lost their lives on the “day of infamy.”

Project aims to rebuild local communities by mike atkinson staff writer

The West Virginia Redevelopment Collaborative and The Northern West Virginia Brownfields Assistance Center are looking to rebuild communities across West Virginia by restoring undeveloped areas known as Brownfields.

The effort was launched with an event known as “Extreme Makeover: Brownfields Edition”, where eight cities from across the state were in the running to receive funding for the projects. Chester, Moundsville, Wheeling, Osage, Fairmont, Berkeley Springs, Shinnston and Parkersburg were invited to the

“Here we are today as we are every year thinking of and remembering those who have gone before us, who made where we live and what we are a better place,” McGraw said. “They are representative of the highest ideals of American citizens.”

The ceremony concluded with a 21-gun salute by the Veterans of Foreign Wars West Virginia department while Grant Rumble, member of

Student government passes new election code by joshua clark staff writer

The West Virginia University Student Government Association revised its election code to address issues present during its last election Wednesday during a regularly scheduled meeting.

“For the past seven to eight years SGA elections have just been a broken record,” said Vice President Rashad Bates.

“We took initiative under our administration to try and fix it. They’ve changed things like the election time line and little things in the past, but that’s like putting a Band-Aid over a bullet wound. What we need is a full-on change.”

Bates said the major complaint is that online voting is limiting to the general public.

“There is more than one way to vote now,” Bates said.

“We’ll have both physical

voting booths and online with lockdown IP addresses throughout the campus.

Whether you’re on health sciences, Evansdale, or downtown you’ll have the ability to vote.”

One of the newest additions to the voting revisions is absentee voting.

“This system will open for students who study abroad,” Bates said. “Students who aren’t on campus during that two-week period will have a chance to vote a day before students who are on campus.”

Revisions to the process have only been possible through hard work between Attorney General Jason Junkin and Elections Chair Jason Butts, Bates said.

“The two biggest changes are voting booths and the

Mon County Health Dept. prepares for National Flu Vaccination Week by mackenzie mays city editor

In recognition of National Influenza Vaccination Week, the Monongalia County Health Department is encouraging the community to receive seasonal flu shots.

Everyone six months and older is recommended to receive a vaccine in order to reduce the likelihood of contracting and spreading the flu, according to the Center for Disease Control.

Flu season in West Virginia usually peaks in February, and since the disease is transmitted through contact of an infected person,

MCHD Public Health Educator Holly Hildreth said the holidays are the perfect time for the vaccine.

“As students are preparing to go home for Christmas break and surround themselves with lots of family and friends, it’s important to be protected,” Hildreth said.

“It’s better to get it over with now and not risk becoming ill over the holidays.”

Because the flu is contagious, Hildreth said West Virginia University students can especially be at risk since they share desks, computers and other equipment around campus.

“Wash your hands even when you think it’s not nec-

essary. When you use the restroom, leave a classroom, eat in the Mountainlair, wash your hands – it’s the No. 1 way to stop the spread of disease,” she said.

College students can also be at heightened risk of contracting the flu due to conditions such as extra stress during finals week or a lack of sleep.

Though many may perceive influenza as common and harmless, Hildreth said the respiratory illness can cause mild to severe illness and can even lead to death.

“Some people do talk about the flu like it’s the common cold, but if come

down with it, you could be down anywhere from five to nine days,” she said. “As a student, you can’t afford to not be able to lift your head up for a week if you have responsibilities.”

The influenza vaccine is available, by appointment only, at the MCHD. The cost of the flu shot is $14.49 for children six months to 18 years and $20 for adults age 19 to 64.

The MCHD will bill Medicare for anyone age 65 or older.

To schedule an appointment, call 304-598-5123.

Game on in Iowa as GOP attacks target Gingrich DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Inviting contrasts with thricemarried religious convert Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney cast himself as a man of consistency in religion and matrimony Wednesday as he and other GOP candidates went after the latest front-runner in a strikingly aggressive new phase of the Republican campaign.

“I’m a man of steadiness and constancy. I don’t think you’re going to find somebody who has more of those attributes than I do,” the former Massachusetts governor said in a new TV ad that included grainy home videos of his wife and five sons. There was no mention of equivocations and policy reversals that his critics have pointed out.

Also on Wednesday, in hopes of reviving a flagging rival campaign, Texas Gov. Rick Perry launched an ambitious effort to compete against Gingrich for the support of Christian evangelicals by emphasizing his Christianity in a flood of new commercials in the leadoff caucus state of Iowa. Separately, Texas Rep. Ron Paul pressed his contention that former House Speaker Gingrich was simply a Washing-

ton insider who would eventually flame out.

“He’s the flavor of the week,” Paul said dismissively on CNN. “Our growth is steady.”

The sharper tone – limited to TV for now – marked a pronounced shift in the Republican presidential race away from policy differences and toward character distinctions, with the new GOP leader in state and national polls – Gingrich – clearly the focus a month before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses. The former Georgia lawmaker is getting a second look from Republican voters across the country after his campaign imploded earlier this summer, and time is running short for his opponents to slow him before the voting starts.

Polls suggest some Republicans are starting to conclude they may have to embrace Gingrich as the conservative they’ve been waiting for – despite personal and professional blemishes – if they want to stop Romney, who has the backing of much of the GOP establishment but irks many conservatives.

“At the end of the day, people are going to have to decide what they can live with,” said “Let us remember to give thanks to all veterans, including those here at WVU and those in the state of West Virginia who have helped preserve our freedom in the past and are still in harm’s way as we stand here today,” Clements said.

Members of the military bow their heads during prayer at the Pearl Harbor 70th Remembrance Program Wednesday morning at Oglebay Plaza.

Amy Kremer, the Tea Party Express chairwoman.

She was among the group of conservatives that grilled Gingrich during a private twohour meeting in Washington on Wednesday over his busy post-congressional consulting career, a potential liability as the Republican base yearns for an outsider.

“It wasn’t a walk in the park for him,” Kremer said, adding that the free-wheeling discussion touched on Gingrich’s discipline as a candidate, his support for climate change legislation and his acknowledged marital infidelity.

But, she said, Gingrich’s frank responses – he says he is chastened and more disciplined than before – turned some skeptics.

Gingrich wasn’t the only candidate in Washington.

His rivals also were in the city that’s home to the White House they seek, most of them railing against President Barack Obama’s Israel policy before the Republican Jewish Coalition.

But some of the real action was 1,000 miles to the West in Iowa, where the airwaves crackled in the candidates’ absence ahead of Saturday’s na-

BEAVER, W.Va. (AP) — Money – even a lot of it – is cold comfort to some relatives of the 29 men who died in the worst mining disaster in decades.

They want justice, the kind that comes with a courtroom and a prison cell.

The families listened in shock Tuesday as federal prosecutors announced the biggest settlement in a U.S. coal mining disaster with the new owners of the Upper Big Branch mine.

The former owner, Massey Energy, had been accused of putting profits ahead of safety, so Alpha Natural Resources agreed to pay nearly $210 million, with checks of $500,000 headed to the grieving families before Christmas.

Federal regulators explained how the deal wiped the slate clean for some 370 safety violations related to the April 5, 2010, explosion, the worst U.S. mine disaster in four decades. Though the Mine Safety and Health Administration also pledged to review its own handling of the mine, the words failed to placate. No criminal charges were announced.

“It was an act of murder,” declared an angry Clay Mullins, whose brother Rex was among those killed. “They murdered 29 men, and I’m not satisfied one bit.”

Gene Jones, whose twin brother Dean died in the blast, said MSHA’s investigation and the settlement showed the depth of coal operators’ callousness.

“These people don’t care.

They’re all wondering who they can pay off,” Jones said. “I want to see people go to jail because this was preventable.”

Federal regulators agreed in their final report, saying the ex-

his two divorces.

It’s not just outside groups.

Rivals, themselves, also now are differentiating themselves from Gingrich in ads – though not always overtly.

“I’ve been married to the same woman for 25 – excuse me, I’ll get in trouble – for 42 years,” Romney is shown saying in the new ad, airing in both Iowa and New Hampshire. “I’ve been in the same church my entire life. I worked at one company, Bain, for 25 years. And I left that to go off and help save the Olympic Games.”

The spot doesn’t mention Gingrich but makes the contrast by painting Romney as a strong family, church and business leader, compared with his chief rival – three times married, a Catholic convert and the former U.S. House speaker. Gingrich’s divorces and fall from grace over ethics charges in Congress more than a decade ago still give some influential social conservatives in Iowa pause.

Asked about the ad, Gingrich told CNN that Romney was “a very admirable person” who has a wonderful family and added: “I’m not going to pick a fight over Mitt Romney.”

plosion was the result of a series of basic safety violations and entirely preventable.

MSHA said the root cause was Massey’s “systematic, intentional and aggressive efforts” to conceal life-threatening problems, noting managers went so far as to maintain two sets of pre-shift inspection books – an accurate one for itself, and a fake one for regulators. They also habitually warned miners underground when an inspector arrived on site, trying to give crews time to make the mine appear safe.

MSHA administrator Kevin Stricklin said in the year before the blast, his agency issued more violation orders at Upper Big Branch than at any other mine. It shut the mine down 48 times that year but had to let it reopen when problems were fixed. The agency lacked the power to close mines permanently – and still does.

“We thought we were keeping accidents from happening,” he said.

Alpha, which bought Massey in June, will bankroll a variety of cutting-edge safety improvements and pay for years of violations at Upper Big Branch and other former Massey operations. Though the corporation can’t be held criminally liable under the settlement, some former Massey employees may be.

“No individuals are off the hook,” warned U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin, adding that prosecutors are still investigating. So far, only one person has been held accountable: Former security chief Hughie Elbert Stover was convicted last month of lying to investigators and trying to destroy mine records. He is awaiting

sentencing.

Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died in Upper Big Branch, said Stover’s trial should be the first of many.

“I’ll be satisfied when I hear who they’re going to indict and what for,” he said. “I want to hear names, and I want to know what they’re going to be charged for. Today would have been a fine day for them to have told us.”

Goodwin said there were enormous benefits provided by the settlement.

“It wasn’t simply the stroke of a pen writing a check,” he said.

MSHA’s final report detailed 369 safety violations at Upper Big Branch, including 12 it said contributed to the explosion.

MSHA labeled nine of the violations that led to the accident as flagrant, the most serious designation.

The report confirmed what the agency and other investigators have previously concluded: Massey allowed highly explosive methane gas and coal dust to accumulate, and worn and broken cutting equipment created the spark that ignited the fuel. Broken and clogged water sprayers allowed a mere flareup to turn into an inferno that ripped through miles of underground tunnels and killed men instantly.

Stricklin said the initial fire was just 20 feet wide, 12 feet long and 8 feet high. Then it met the coal dust and became a chain-reaction event.

Last year, Stricklin said, U.S. mines experienced about 40 such ignitions, and all but one or two were extinguished immediately by miners who had proper training and equipment. At Upper Big Branch,

they had neither. MSHA’s investigation found 112 miners had no basic safety training whatsoever.

“Every time Massey sent miners into the UBB Mine, Massey put those miners’ lives at risk,” said MSHA director Joe Main.

The settlement consists of $46.5 million in restitution to the miners’ families, $128 million for safety improvements, research and training, and $35 million in fines for safety violations at Upper Big Branch and other Massey mines.

The deal guarantees the families of the dead miners and two co-workers who survived the explosion each receive $1.5 million. Those who accept the payout can still pursue lawsuits, but the $1.5 million will be deducted from any settlement or jury award.

At least eight families of dead miners previously settled with Massey.

Virginia-based Alpha CEO Kevin Crutchfield said the agreement represented the best path forward.

“We’re particularly pleased that a substantial portion of the settlement is going towards furthering miner safety, which has always been Alpha’s guiding principle,” he said.

The deal was seen as precedent-setting because of the amount of money and the efforts to make mining safer.

“Alpha definitely knows they had a problem. Whenever they bought Massey, they bought all of Massey’s older problems,” said Bruce Dial, who runs a mine consulting company out of Pineville, N.C. “This is their way of saying, ‘Massey did this, we bought Massey, let’s settle up and start new.’”

with a CNN poll out Wednesday showing Gingrich leading in Iowa with support from a third of likely caucusgoers.

Gingrich rivals sense opportunity given that the race in Iowa is highly volatile. Most potential Iowa caucusgoers say they could still change their minds about whom to support ; influential evangelical conservatives remain split, and voters here haven’t yet been made fully aware of Gingrich’s decades of personal and political baggage.

That’s starting to change.

Iowans for Christian Leaders in Government, whose backers are unknown, wrote anonymously this week to the leader of a social conservative group in Iowa, The Family Leader, to urge it not to endorse Gingrich in light of his divorces and extramarital affair with the woman who is now his wife. The group also has circulated a new Web video that reminds Republicans that Gingrich once appeared with thenHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi to advocate action on climate change, a sore subject for some conservatives, and it circulated fliers earlier in the year condemning Gingrich for

tionally televised GOP debate in Des Moines.

This week in Iowa alone, Gingrich, Paul, Perry, Romney and a political action committee supporting Perry are spending a combined $630,000 on television ads. The Texas governor and his allies have by far have the most ads on the air, and the candidate plans to commit even more money to ads in the coming weeks. Not including this week or next, Perry alone has pumped more than $2 million into TV advertising in the state over the past six weeks, indicating he’s still competing heavily for a strong showing in Iowa despite polls that show him in the single digits.

A major question is how soon Romney allies will dip into their mound of cash to start running ads against Gingrich.

A new New York Times/CBS News Poll this week showed Gingrich, whose sudden rise has come faster than his onceshaky campaign’s ability to organize in Iowa, with support from 31 percent of likely caucusgoers. Gingrich led Romney, who was at 17 percent, with Paul in third at 16 percent. The survey is consistent

HE’S BACK Huggins returns to Kansas State for first time since coming to West Virginia

By John Terry Managing Editor

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins spent one season at Kansas State before leaving to coach the Mountaineers.

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said the only way he would’ve left Kansas State in 2007 is if his alma mater, West Virginia, came calling.

When West Virginia offered him the head coaching job, Huggins couldn’t say no.

Huggins, and his West Virginia (42) team will travel to Wichita, Kan., to play a neutral-site game against Kansas State (5-0) tonight at 9 p.m.

“I loved it there,” Huggins said.

“Their fan base is very similar to ours. The passion that they have is very similar to what we have here. I enjoyed living in Manhattan (Kan.).

I enjoyed the people. It was a great experience.”

Huggins said he didn’t know what type of reception he would get from what will be a pro-Wildcat crowd.

Tonight’s game will also mark the first time Huggins will coach against long-time friend and former assistant Frank Martin.

“I’ve never been boo’ed before, so that would be a first,” Huggins said.

After Huggins departure from Kansas State, he pushed hard for thenassistant Martin to be hired as his replacement.

“People would say that Frank didn’t coach college, he coached high school, but he coached really good high school guys,” Huggins said.

“People don’t understand how hard that is to get those guys to fill roles and not be worried about themselves or what’s going to happen to them – which is the same thing that we did

(in college).

“Frank’s a very, very talented guy.

When I got a chance to hire him, I hired him.”

West Virginia, coming off of a 7562 loss to No. 24 Mississippi State, will go up against a Kansas State defense Huggins wants his defense to epitomize.

“We just haven’t done a very good job executing with all the young guys we have,” he said.

West Virginia will need to find a way to slow down Wildcat senior Jamar Samuels. Samuels is averaging 13 points and nine rebounds this season.

“His overall game is so much better (than it used to be),” Huggins said.

“He’s done a better job getting to the foul line. His recognition is so much better.”

The Mountaineers will also be tasked with slowing down 7-foot center Jordan Henriquez, who leads the team with 3.6 blocks, while scoring 8.8 points and 8.6 rebounds. Huggins said it’s Henriquez’s length that will be an issue.

“They are a lot deeper than Mississippi State,” Huggins said.

West Virginia senior guard Truck Bryant said the team needs a freshmen to step up at forward.

“Whether it’s Aaron Brown, Keaton Miles, Tommie McCune, we’re going to need someone,” Bryant said.

“I mean, that’s just going to have to happen. One of them is going to have to step up in order for us to be a good team.” john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

Plenty of reasons for fans to travel to Orange Bowl cody schuler sports WRITER

I’ve had many discussions with people about the dilemma going to the Orange Bowl presents. I’d like to weigh in on the situation and hope to clarify what is a difficult decision for a fair amount of West Virginia fans.

On one hand, you have the opportunity to watch the Mountaineers take on an exciting Clemson team in one of the friendliest climates known to winter – South Beach, anyone?

On the other hand, there are significant costs that have to be considered. After factoring in a game ticket, travel expenses, hotel accommodations and food, it’s

a pretty pricey trip.

In addition, there is the intangible cost of being away from your family for a precious couple of days near the end of Christmas break – unless, of course, they’re going with you.

While it may be an easy decision for some, others will have to deeply consider the pros and cons of both options – but there isn’t much time to deliberate. Plane tickets and hotel rooms will be booked soon, and as time closes in on Jan. 4, prices will escalate.

So what should you do?

If you can’t afford it or fit it into your schedule, I can assure you, it will be incredibly fun watching at home with friends and family.

and he’s excited about playing them, and he knows a lot of the guys. We have several guys that know each other.”

Both Boyd and Smith are currently ranked in the top 10 in the nation in passing yards, and West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen sees a lot of similarities between the two quarterbacks that will be showcased in the Orange Bowl.

“I haven’t studied (film) as much as we will over the next few weeks, but they’re two tremendous players who have the ability to keep a play alive,” Holgorsen said.

While both coaches talked highly of the quarterbacks their teams will be trying to stop, they both know they’ve got good ones on their side who can help put points on the board.

“Geno is incredibly competitive – one of the most competitive kids that I’ve ever been around,” Holgorsen said. “He loves to play, he shows up every day, and he’s just going to try to get better.

“There’s a lot of things that he needs to work on, as do I as a head coach, but the encouraging thing is that he shows up every day wanting to get better.’

This year’s Discover Orange Bowl will feature two highpowered offenses led by two quarterbacks who are among the best in their respective conferences.

West Virginia is led by junior quarterback Geno Smith, who threw for a school-record 3,978 yards to go with 25 touchdowns this season.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said a quarterback as talented as Smith will definitely be a challenge for a Clemson defense that ranks No. 39 in the nation in pass defense. The Tigers allow close to 203 yards per game through the air.

“I’ve seen West Virginia a few times,” Swinney said.

“Geno is incredibly talented and can make all the throws obviously. He’s statistically as good as there is in the country.”

On the other sideline will be Clemson’s junior quarterback Tajh Boyd.

It looked like Boyd would go on to be the Mountaineers’ signal caller one day, but decommitted from West Virginia in October of 2008.

“We got on him late (in the recruiting process). I had just got the job literally about a Orange Bowl important for week,” Swinney said. “I know recruiting he has a tremendous amount Both West Virginia and of respect for their program Clemson rely heavily on Flor-

ida when recruiting every year.

So it goes without saying that the Orange Bowl is a great opportunity for both schools to continue building for future success while spending time in Florida.

“We have several kids on our roster now (from Florida), but historically at Clemson, we have had some of our greatest players from this state,” Swinney said. “To know that these guys have the opportunity to play in the Orange Bowl, the exposure you get, the marketing that you get ... you can’t put a price on that.”

Holgorsen echoed Swinney’s statements but went fur-

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

ther by saying that making an appearance in a BCS game like the Orange Bowl will help to continue branching out when recruiting throughout the nation, as well as the states where they already have solid foundations built.

“Wednesday night, Jan. 4, there’s going to be people from the west coast all the way to the east coast watching,” Holgorsen said. “The exposure for the whole week being in South Florida is awesome. It’s awesome because of the magnitude of the game and the magnitude of the BCS.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers hold off ‘Cuse comeback for first Big East win by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

West Virginia held off a second-half surge by Syracuse, defeating the Orange 76-72 Wednesday evening in Syracuse, N.Y., for its first road win of the season.

West Virginia led by eight points at halftime, and by as many as 16 points midway through the second half. But, the Orange got back into the game midway through the second half with a 13-2 run.

“I’m very proud of our team,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “I thought

we don’t play well down here – we’ve had some good teams come down here and get beat by 25, so I’m very proud of our team to be so young and come down here and get a win.”

The Mountaineers (6-2) outrebounded the Orange 46-39. Junior centers Ayana Dunning and Asya Bussie led the offense, both scoring 19 points in the game. Dunning also led all players with 13 rebounds for her first doubledouble of the season.

“You could tell we are inexperienced,” Carey said. “I thought we did a good job, especially the first 30 minutes,

on the boards because they are an excellent rebounding team. We got shook up a little bit and turned the ball over a little bit, but I give them a lot of credit.”

Sophomore point guard Brooke Hampton had her best game of the season so far, scoring 15 points and adding three assists. The Cross Neck, N.J., native also made two 3-point shots in a row with 11:30 left to play in the first half, extending the Mountaineers lead to five at that point.

Carey was happy with the balanced scoring her team showed in the game and how

several players stepped up to the challenge on the road in a hostile environment.

“Brooke (Hampton) and YaYa (Ayana Dunning) came in here and did an excellent job,” Carey said. “Asya (Bussie) can score and she has quickness, so we kept going to her.”

Bussie led WVU with 19 points and went 7-of-10 from the field.

Syracuse junior point guard Elashier Hall led the Orange with 16 points and five assists. Junior center Kayla Alexander was the most efficient player on the court, scoring 14

points, while converting all six of her shots from the floor.

The Orange’s comeback started at with about eight minutes left to play. They were down by 15 points and went on a 19-6 run, until just under the five minute mark when the Mountaineers pulled away with clutch free throws in the final minutes of the game.

West Virginia was able to gain a large enough lead to not allow Syracuse to fulfill the comeback, as the Orange shot just 34 percent in the game and a mere 6 percent from 3-point range.

Turnovers came back to bite the Mountaineers, committing eight turnovers in the second half in critical situations and 20 for the game.

“To get this win on the road at Syracuse is big for a young team – it’s big for us,” Carey said.

Freshman point guard Taylor Palmer added 10 points for West Virginia.

The Mountaineers have now won three games in a row, and the win was the team’s first Big East win of the season. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Relationship with Huggins has WVU ready to make turnaround in 2012 shaped K-State coach’s career by sebouh majarian sports writer

by michael carvelli sports editor

Kansas State head coach Frank Martin began working with Bob Huggins in 2004 when the current West Virginia head coach was still with Cincinnati.

A year after he resigned from Cincinnati, Huggins decided to return to coaching at Kansas State. But, one thing had to happen before he would agree to take the job.

Martin had to come with him.

“When he was in desperate need of somebody who he could trust at Cincinnati, he decided to hire me,” Martin said. “When it was time to make the decision to come to K-State, he would not have come unless I did.

“Those are the kind of things that I’ll never forget.”

After just one year in Manhattan, Kan., Huggins got the opportunity to take his dream job at West Virginia following John Beilein’s departure to Michigan.

In most situations like that, coaches will bring assistant coaches, current players and recruits with them to their next job. That wasn’t the case when Huggins left for WVU, though.

“That’s what everyone else in the business would have done, but that’s not what he’s about,” Martin said. “He knows (Kansas State) gave him a chance. That is something he will never forget.

That’s why he was willing to leave his staff behind because he made sure the kids would stay behind.”

Martin said that’s part of the reason the Wildcats have been able to have some of the success they’ve had since he took over.

Since Martin became head coach, Kansas State has won 95 games, and it has made it to the NCAA tournament three of the first four years of Martin’s tenure, including an Elite Eight appearance in 2010. “(Huggins) wanted to make sure that we finished the job that we came here to do,” Martin said. “He’s got his own team and his own program (at West Virginia), but he still lives ours through us.

I can tell you that we wouldn’t

Kansas State head coach Frank Martin was an assistant at Cincinnati for Bob Huggins in 2004 and followed Huggins to Kansas State in 2006. have had the success we have had if it was not for him.”

It didn’t take long after finding out Beilein was taking the Michigan job before Huggins accepted the head coaching position at WVU. Martin said Huggins would keep him updated on the process every step of the way, and then, on a Thursday morning in April, Martin received a phone call.

“He called me up and said ‘I really need to see you,’ and we met at Bob’s Diner at about 6:45 in the morning. That’s where he told me he could not say ‘no,’ he said ‘I have to do it’,” Martin said. “He was beat up, which I know he was because he was forced into making a tough decision he had no interest in making because he was so happy here.

“Once they decided to offer me the job, he made sure that we all stayed here as a staff.

He went out of his way to call those kids, and he told them to believe in me, and they would be OK.” Those players Martin talked about included a talented recruiting class that consisted of former all-American Michael Beasley and the reigning Big 12 Conference Player of the Week and the Wildcats’ leading scorer heading into Thursday’s game, Jamar Samuels.

The 6-foot-7 forward from D.C., said he was a little con-

flicted when he first heard Huggins would be leaving Kansas State, but in the end decided to honor his commitment to the school.

“Frank had already taken over at K-State, but (Huggins) still recruited me,” Samuels said. “Knowing that he left, I always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to go with him, but I had already committed to K-State, so that is where I knew I would be playing basketball.”

When West Virginia and Kansas State take the court tonight, it will be the first time Huggins and Martin have coached against each other.

It will be an interesting challenge for Martin to go up against the man who helped him get to where he is at this point in his career. But it’s a challenge he thinks he’s ready for.

“I know how much he believes in me and how much he expects from me. It’s an unbelievable duty for me to make sure I prepare my team the best I can – I know he does,” Martin said. “I don’t like to lose, and I do not like to see friends lose.

“This game is kind of bittersweet for me because we need the win, and I don’t want to see him lose.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

The 2011 season might not have gone as planned for the West Virginia volleyball team, but that’s not something head coach Jill Kramer or the rest of the team will dwell on for long.

Even with the conclusion of the season coming in just two weeks ago, Kramer is already turning the page and looking ahead.

She is in the process of helping her seniors, retooling the team with recruits and getting ready for what could be its first year in the Big 12 Conference, which is arguably the best volleyball conference in the nation.

The Mountaineers finished this year 7-19 overall and finished 11th in the Big East Conference with a 5-9 record.

“As a group, the year was much more different than what we expected. We expected to make the Big East tournament, and we expected to do a lot of really great things,” Kramer said.

“I’ve said this before: Our win-loss record did not reflect upon the type of work this group put in.”

This was the first full year Kramer had in Morgantown due to the fact she was hired a day before training camp started for the 2010 season.

Kramer was hired to replace Veronica Hammersmith, who had accumulated over 550 wins in her career coaching the Mountaineers.

“Like it or not, this was our transition year, last year I was kind of just steering a ship a little bit and keeping it afloat,” Kramer said. “This year after going through the year and making changes in team culture, and having a lot of changes on the roster and trying to piece things together to make it work – it’s part of a coaching transition, and this year was what it was.”

The end of the season also marked the end of five great careers, two of which ended in the program’s record books.

Three of the graduates, Kari Post, Kylie Armbruster, and Serinna Russo are California natives. Fellow senior Abby Monson, a Centennial, Colo., native will also fly cross-country to return home following the May commencement.

Continued from page 3 the game in high-definition is a pretty nice consolation for those that simply cannot attend.

If you are on the fence, then you have a decision to make.

Rest assured, this decision is not as important as one a recent Miami native had to make. Also, unlike LeBron James, you won’t have to do it in front of a national audience with your hometown ready to burn you at the stake.

There’s no denying the weather is going to be sweet in Miami. I know the recent weather in Morgantown – until yesterday – has been reason to celebrate, but 75 and sunny in Florida is very nice this time of year.

Did I mention there is also

patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum

Senior Abby Monson is one of five players who will not return in 2012 for the West Virginia volleyball team.

Michelle Kopecky, a Schaumburg, Il., native is the final senior of the group, and the Mountaineers leader in kills with 264. Kopecky finished with a career-high 23 kills in the season finale against Marshall.

Post, a Yuba City, Calif. native, finishes third on the programs all-time assist list with 3,384.

“I would have liked (the seniors) to reap more rewards on the volleyball court, and that would have been great, but it didn’t happen that way,” Kramer said. “We still definitely accomplished a lot within the vision of the program.”

During the last two years West Virginia’s biggest problems have come on the road where the team has a record of 3-19, including a 1-10 mark this season. The season also started with a tougher than expected non-conference schedule.

The Mountaineers struggled to find any rhythm offensively over the course of the year, posting a hitting percentage of .130, ranking them last in the conference.

Though the season was mostly full of lows and disappointment, there were still some highs including the ever-important wins over Pittsburgh. In what looked like a duplicate of the match a year before, WVU beat the Panthers 3-2.

The team also had a muchneeded 3-0 win over Syra-

cuse, who at the time was fifth in the conference, to keep their Big East tournament berth hopes alive.

Instead of spending her time wondering what could have been, Kramer has been working on her army and is already excited about what should be an eventful 2012 season. She has five incoming freshmen, one or two of whom will join the team this spring.

“This group is a special group coming in,” Kramer said. “They’re all great players, and they understand the concept of team and what it takes to be an elite student athlete.”

For a coach to be successful, they must be able to establish their culture within the program. Kramer has been working on that since being hired and has been pushing her girls to desire more, both academically and athletically.

“If you don’t have class you should be in the gym that day, and to me that’s going to make the difference between a good team and a great team,” Kramer said.

Though Kramer doesn’t want to dwell on the past, her burning desire to win and lead her team to greatness drives her to improve what she’s built. She doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon, as she expects a very busy and important offseason.

a football game to watch?

This is going to be one of the more exciting matchups of this bowl season. Both teams are liable to put up 40plus points, and the evenly matched personnel on both sides should result in a close game.

It’s head coach Dana Holgorsen’s BCS debut. It’s the game in which junior quarterback Geno Smith will surpass former Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm’s Big East record for most passing yards in a season. It could very well be West Virginia’s last game as a member of the Big East Conference.

It’s a chance for a 10-win season. A chance to stand with Mountaineer fans from all across the country in a former NFL stadium, cheering on your favorite university as it makes the quest for a win in its third different BCS bowl.

Finally, it’s an opportunity to have fun. If you’re a student, there are no classes or exams to worry about.

If you’re a member of the work force, it’s a chance for a vacation.

There’s no telling when West Virginia will be back in a BCS game. The Mountaineers could lose by 30 and it would feel like your time and money have been wasted.

Then again, West Virginia could win in stunning fashion, and you could be there to see it.

So, in closing, don’t put too much pressure on yourself in the coming days.

Don’t do something foolish if you shouldn’t go, but if you can – I think you should be there.

Respect everyone’s holiday celebrations The holidays are just around the corner, and while everyone has their own traditions and holiday celebrations, it’s important to acknowledge this season’s holidays.

As always, make sure to be conscientious and respectful of the holidays of others. After all, isn’t this the time to spread peace in the world?

Christmas is, as always, Dec. 25. Hanukkah begins at sunset Dec. 20 and ends at sunset on Dec. 28, and Kwan-

zaa begins Dec. 26 and ends Jan. 1.

While celebrating the holiday season, it’s always best to be in good nature and respect others’ beliefs.

It may be good to educate yourself about another person’s holidays and why they may celebrate it. You can’t respect someone else’s beliefs if you aren’t familiar with them.

For example, if you celebrate Christmas, find out more about why Hanukkah is important in the Jewish faith.

Find out more information about how Kwanzaa, the celebration of African-American culture and heritage, began and where it is today.

Learn more about why these holidays matter to people, and give yourself an understanding of these celebrations to respect and accept people for their different beliefs or faiths.

Use the greeting “Happy Holidays” to those you meet.

This greeting gives a chance to not offend anyone who may

celebrate a different holiday than yourself.

The greeting also gives a sense of inclusion adds to the “holiday spirit” and doesn’t intend to leave anybody out.

The holiday season is a time for accepting others and spreading peace through the world.

The holidays are also a time for giving and helping those who are less fortunate.

Consider giving back to the community by participating in local food or clothing

drives or monetary donations for families and people who are in need.

The Daily Athenaeum has two issues left this semester, so we take this opportunity to wish you Happy Holidays, and we’ll see you back on Jan. 9 when we begin printing again.

The GOP presidential race continues to be a sideshow jarrod barry columnist

Sometimes, it seems like the ongoing Republican primary can’t get any more ridiculous.

Whether it’s Michele Bachmann claiming that vaccines cause mental retardation or Herman Cain quoting “Pokemon” in his speeches, it often feels like the GOP race is just one big silly reality show.

It’s got everything you need, if you think about it – the weekly, dramatic shifts in popularity, the comedic relief of candidates stumbling over the simplest questions. There was even the obligatory sex scandal to kill off one of the most popular characters.

And now, in typical TV fashion, the show is getting a midseason guest star – Donald Trump.

Last week, the real estate tycoon and celebrity billionaire announced he would moderate a Republican debate in December. And, with that, it seems our little reality show has finally jumped the shark.

In the past few months, five of the GOP candidates have made a pilgrimage to visit Trump Tower. Bachmann met with Trump four times, and she even lists him as a potential vice presidential pick on her website.

All the candidates have come looking for the same thing – The Donald’s personal endorsement for them as the nominee.

I don’t know why or how Trump managed to become a reputable figure in this race.

The GOP candidates are clamoring for his endorsement like

a litter of attention-starved puppies, and I just don’t get it.

It seems to me that, with all the venom aimed toward the wealthy lately, the candidates might want to distance themselves – or at least make their butt-kissing less obvious.

And, of all the millionand billionaires, why Trump?

There’s nothing about this man that makes any endorsement he’d make worthwhile. Back in the spring, he was a “birther” who questioned, not only President Obama’s birth certificate, but also claimed that the President somehow defrauded his way into Harvard University.

He refers to himself in the third person during speeches.

And his solution to international dictators? Well, he spelled out his plan last March in an interview with Fox News.

“I dealt with Gaddafi,” Trump said. “I rented him a piece of land. He paid me more for one night than the land was worth for two years, and then I didn’t let him use the land …

That’s what we should be doing. I don’t want to use the word ‘screwed,’ but I screwed him.”

Oh Trump, you sly businessman-slash-diplomat. That’s the perfect plan – we’ll sell Kim Jong-Ill land, and then take it back after we’ve cashed the check. Devious!

What makes this premise even more absurd is Trump’s indication that he may still jump into the race. “If they pick somebody who I think can’t win and if they pick somebody who is, in my opinion, the wrong person … I might run as an independent,” he said in a USA Today article Monday.

So, the same guy who’s going to moderate the debate is also considering running in the race? That’s an obvious conflict

Donald Trump will host a debate on Dec. 27 in Iowa. of interest if there ever was one.

Look, everyone knows Trump loves the spotlight. He thrives on it; he needs it. Without the constant attention of the masses, Trump would probably evaporate into a cloud of smoke.

But, injecting himself into the race like this only serves to damage the whole Republican field’s credibility. And right now, with nothing but a

group of lackluster, politically unbankable candidates from which to choose, the GOP is straining for credibility as it is.

Using the election as a stage to pull off a publicity gimmick cheapens the entire electoral process. And, that’s really what this whole thing is – a big gimmick. Is it any coincidence that all of this is going on right as he’s promoting a new book? Or that his hope to endorse a can-

didate in the next “three or four weeks” just happens to coincide with the season premiere of “The Apprentice?”

Of course not. But then again, he’s got me talking about it. So maybe The Donald really is a more savvy marketer than he is diplomat.

Although Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have already agreed to the debate, other candidates, like Jon Hunts-

man, Mitt Romney, and Ron Paul have declined the offer.

Part of me hopes that the rest follow suit. But then again, I don’t plan to vote for any of them anyway – so maybe I should just sit back, relax and cheer on the Republicans as they shoot themselves in the collective foot.

Somebody pass me the popcorn – the show is just getting to the good part.

Moderation lowers risk of dependence but denies happiness david ciarolla columnist

Many people promote moderation and calculated fun to create a safety net against damaging levels of attachment.

However, this attitude fails to distinguish mere overindulgence from the psychological causes of dependence, and it discourages comfort with spontaneous development.

I strongly feel moderation of anything without physical dependence is a cop-out of selfcontrol and unacceptably restricts a full life.

Obviously toxic or dangerous activities should be moderated to avoid health risks, but we can assume a rational assessment of reality and address moderation of indulgence and self-expression – that is, restraint on where one’s mind may go and how one may act.

DA

Full actualization of the self can never occur without allowing whatever thoughts may arise in one’s mind. The individual alone must sanction his response to these spontaneous thoughts, and following external instructions about suppressing certain thoughts exactly denies this comfort with oneself.

In fact, suppressing any thoughts at all creates a state of discomfort with oneself from which a person can never be totally happy or free. This fearful approach of calculated suppression underlies the campaigns for avoiding drugs, debauchery, and excess and causes young people with developing minds to feel badly for pursuing what makes them feel good.

Consider a person who enjoys playing video games.

In some unfortunate cases, this person could alienate his friends, disregard his academics, eat too much and exercise too little from obsessing over a

time-consuming game.

It reached the point at which the game became more damaging to his life than enriching, but he continued playing to avoid facing new things like friendships and homework, which do not have the guarantee of pleasure.

Simply playing the game too much did not cause this damage. His discomfort and fear of the world outside the video game is the problem, and addressing that unhealthy psychology can lead him to put down the video game because he wants to.

While moderating things like video game play may seem harmless, consider this denial of oneself in more irreplaceable parts of life, such as love.

Suppose a person finds a happier mental state with a new boyfriend or girlfriend. Psychological dependence arises when this person refuses to face negative emotions in the absence of his partner and accepts the idea that he cannot feel OK without

that partner. The boyfriend or girlfriend ceases to be a purely pleasant supplement to his life and becomes a way to avoid insecurity and anxiety. He is no longer fully happy with his life and relationship but needs the partner to avoid feeling badly.

Now, what would help avoid this dependent relationship?

Moderation of the romantic relationship certainly would, but so would avoiding close relationships altogether. Both of these options deny full actualization of love. Removing potential objects of dependence does not suitably solve the issue, for dependence exists in one’s mind, and the objects tend to be things that make people feel better.

Clearly people should not limit their exposure to loving relationships, nor should they moderate any pleasures out of the empty fear of too much indulgence.

One sees this inappropriate response to dependence in the “war against drugs.” Chil-

dren are taught to “just say no to drugs,” as if the vastly differing physical dependencies associated with vastly different drugs are indistinguishable, and as if psychological dependencies are inherent in the drugs themselves.

Many drugs, such as cannabis and many hallucinogens, have no physical dependence and varying trends of psychological dependence.

Others, such as heroin and alcohol, have differing manners and degrees of physical dependence that should be communicated separately and specifically. Anti-drug campaigns ignore the distinctions between the risks different drugs carry and empower psychological addictions as unavoidable qualities of drugs themselves, not the unhealthy trends of thought they really are.

“Authorities” would do much better to honestly communicate the real, unexaggerated risks of different drugs, so any moderation of drug use arises

from independent judgement and control instead of following external authority and fear of oneself.

Psychological dependence should be approached rationally as an unhealthy manner of thinking instead of promoting moderation of all the beautiful things to which people can become dependent.

We could address the attitudes that cause addictive behaviors, or we could punish the category of harmless indulgences (typically good ones) that associate with addictive behaviors.

Dishonestly inspiring fear of overindulgence creates insecurity and suppression of spontaneous thought.

The suppression of individual desires from an external authority that inspires fear of oneself can obviously never be reconciled with full actualization of the self.

I feel that moving toward complete freedom of the self should always remain a paramount aim of humankind.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Tonight: All smiles.

BORN TODAY This year you flip between being an efficiency expert and a real flirt. Remain upbeat. Know what your challenges are and face them. A great involvement in the community or through work also could occur. The people person within you demands satisfaction. If you are single, date to your heart’s content. It is quite possible you will meet someone special. Be on the lookout. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy entertaining and going out and about even more. Spend as much time as you can together. GEMINI is always around you. He or she cares.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH A meeting might prove to be even better than you thought it would be. Understanding evolves. You now have a strong sense of direction and know what must be done. A partner might not realize why he or she is confused. This person also might not like the idea at hand. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Use care not to give away too much. You have a lot to offer. Do remember that fact. Others might pick up on an element of insecurity if you give too much away at first. Your reaction might surprise others but function as a punctuation mark to situations. Tonight: Out and about.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Please note that it is prime time for you.

Make the most of the daylight hours, without confusing situations any more. You gain a startling insight into a situation. You might want to take a hard look at your finances before making any decisions. Tonight: Treat yourself, too!

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You might seem a bit withdrawn during the day. In truth, you are rethinking a situation. Certain elements might be confusing. Go back to a supposition from which you made the decision. You’ll immediately feel clear when you nail what is going on.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Listen to someone who is demanding your attention. Otherwise, you could have some long-term difficulties with this person.

Keep your eye on the big picture. Schedule meetings for the end of the day, when you will be able to relax more. Tonight: Where the action is.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Reach out for someone at a distance. You might need more information in order to make the right decision. Don’t hesitate to extend your world mentally or emotionally. An older relative, parent or friend could become quite demanding. Tonight: To the wee hours.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Deal with a partner directly. How a situation evolves could be quite different from what you anticipated. You understand and identify with his or her somewhat indulgent nature. Listen to what this person is sharing. He or she is not necessarily wrong.

Tonight: Try a different idea.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Deal with a key person on a one-on-one level. You will get more accomplished. If you feel that a situation involving your per-

sonal life and family is vague, you might not want to see all the facts. You could prefer to keep it vague. Tonight: Go with another person’s suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Get a head start on a project, because there are reasons to believe that you might want to be more sociable in the early evening.

Someone surprises you; make sure you are free to pursue another type of activity.

Tonight: Go along with another’s ideas. It could be a lot of fun.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Sometimes you -- one of the most self-disciplined signs in the zodiac -- need to cut loose and do something different. What appeals to you could be quite delightful should you decide to walk in that direction.

Open up to suggestions. Tonight: Leave work behind as you venture out.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Though you might believe you are as clear as a bell, you just might not be. Stay open. If you are immediately reacting to another person’s suggestion, chill out and buy yourself time. You might want to work this idea into your life. Tonight: Letting off steam.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH You might want to think through a decision. Let your creativity flow. Stay open to possibilities that appear in this haze. Verify what is happening behind the scenes.

Take a stand and move past a hassle. Tonight: At home.

Five new schools to be introduced to Big East NEW YORK (AP) — The Big East introduced Boise State, San Diego State, Houston, SMU and Central Florida as its new members, effective 2013.

“The Big East conference is the first truly national college football conference,” Commissioner John Marinatto said Wednesday during a teleconference with the university leaders from the new members.

Boise State President Bob Kustra said his school was “proud to be aboard.”

The Big East, depleted by the planned departures of Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, is trying to rebuild as a 12-team football conference with a western division.

Boise State and San Diego State, which currently play in the Mountain West Conference, will join the Big East only for football. Houston, SMU and UCF will be leaving Conference USA and joining the Big East in all sports.

“We have ambitious plans, and this expansion is a great stride toward reaching them,” Marinatto said.

The Big East has also been pursuing Air Force and Navy as football only members, but those schools have yet to commit.

Boise State has reportedly worked out a deal to have its other sports teams compete in the Western Athletic Conference, where its football team dominated for 10 seasons. San Diego State is reportedly finalizing a deal to have its other teams compete in the Big West.

The Big East has only five football members committed to the conference beyond this season: Connecticut, Cincinnati, Louisville, Rutgers and USF. It also has seven schools that do not play major college football and Notre Dame, which competes in the Big East in everything but football.

Marinatto has pledged to hold Pittsburgh, Syracuse and West Virginia in the conference until 2014, in accordance with

ap

Big East commissioner John Marinatto added five new schools to the conference for the 2013 season on Wednesday. the Big East bylaws. West Virginia wants to join the Big 12 in 2012 and has sued the Big East to get an early release.

The Big East filed a countersuit to keep West Virginia in the conference.

Pittsburgh and Syracuse intend to join the Atlantic Coast Conference as soon as possible, but are not challenging the Big East’s bylaws.

Syracuse athletic director Daryl Gross said he expected the Big East might ask his school and Pitt to leave early now.

“They’d need us to move out

of the way,” said Gross, who was taking part in IMG’s Intercollegiate Athletics Forum in Manhattan on Wednesday.

Marinatto said there have been no discussions with the new members about the possibility of letting the departing members out early. Potentially, that could lead the Big East to have the same eight teams it has now in 2012 and ‘13 — even 15 in 2013 if negotiations work out with the military academies.

“I think it’s a simple matter of respecting our bylaws,” Marinatto said of the possibility of

having lame duck members.

“An early departure and a violation of those bylaws would damage the membership.”

The Big East was born in 1979 as a northeast basketball conference and in 1991 added football with the inclusion of Miami, Virginia Tech and others.

Maintaining a strong football league has been difficult.

Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College left the Big East for the ACC in 2004 and ‘05, and the league seemed on the verge of extinction.

Instead, it expanded, bring-

ing in Louisville, Cincinnati, South Florida, DePaul and Marquette.

The additions revitalized the football league for a few years and Big East basketball, with 16 members, has been better than ever.

The newest additions are all about football and television markets. Boise State has been one of the most successful programs in the country over the last decade playing mostly in the Western Athletic Conference before joining the MWC this season. The Broncos are 72-6 over the last five seasons

with two BCS victories.

Houston has been to a bowl game six of the last seven seasons, and is in the 10th-largest television market in the country, according to Nielsen. San Diego State, UCF and SMU have all been on the upswing on the field in recent years. Just as importantly, Dallas, where SMU is located, is the fifth-largest TV market. Orlando, where UCF is located, is in the 19th largest, and San Diego is the 28th largest.

Marinatto said the additions boost the Big East’s potential TV households by more than six percent and up to 28 million. He added that having members in four time zones would allow the league to play four games on a Saturday that don’t overlap.

The Big East is hoping that a combination of success on the field and potential viewers will help the league land a new television deal that can keep it relatively competitive with the other power conferences, all of which have signed long-term TV contracts worth more than $1 billion.

The five new members are banking on the move to the Big East bringing increased TV revenue, along with better access to the Bowl Championship Series and its multimillion-dollar payouts.

Meanwhile, the leagues they are leaving behind are merging. Conference USA and the Mountain West announced in October they would create a far-flung 22-team football league by 2013.

The MWC has three new members heading its way, Nevada and Fresno State next season, and Hawaii in 2013.

All three are currently in the WAC. The other current members of the MWC are Colorado State, Wyoming, New Mexico and UNLV. The remaining C-USA schools are East Carolina, Southern Mississippi, Marshall, UAB, Memphis, Tulsa, Rice, UTEP and Tulane.

Sandusky sent to prison on newest sex abuse charges STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky was arrested and jailed Wednesday on new child sex abuse charges brought by two new accusers, including one who claims Sandusky molested him numerous times in a basement bedroom.

The claims bring the number of Sandusky’s criminal accusers to 10 and he now faces more than 50 charges stemming from

accusations he molested boys for years on Penn State property, in his home and elsewhere.

The scandal has raised questions about whether Penn State officials did all they should have to stop the alleged activity and ended the careers of the school’s president and Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno.

Sandusky, 67, was first arrested last month and has said

repeatedly that he is innocent.

The latest charges were brought after new accusers were questioned by a grand jury, which issued another report detailing chilling new allegations of abuse.

Sandusky lawyer Joseph Amendola said after the arraignment Wednesday that he had not yet read the latest grand jury report, but said he has no reason to doubt Sandusky’s

claims of innocence. Sandusky was unable to immediately post a $250,000 bail and was taken to jail.

Like earlier accusers, both of the new alleged victims told the grand jury they met Sandusky through The Second Mile charity for at-risk children that he founded in 1977.

“As in many of the other cases identified to date, the contact with Sandusky allegedly fit a

pattern of ‘grooming’ victims,” Attorney General Linda Kelly said in a statement. “Beginning with outings to football games and gifts; they later included physical contact that escalated to sexual assaults.”

One of the new alleged victims, dubbed Victim 9 by prosecutors, claims he was first assaulted in 2004, and the other, called Victim 10, told the grand jury he was assaulted after being referred to Second Mile in 1997.

The ninth accuser, currently 18, was 11 or 12 when he first met Sandusky in 2004. Sandusky took him to Penn State football games and gave him gifts and money, and later sexually assaulted him during overnight stays in a basement bedroom in Sandusky’s home, the grand jury said.

The accuser said that Sandusky forced the boy to perform oral sex and attempted on at least 16 occasions to anally penetrate him, sometimes successfully. “The victim testified that on at least one occasion he screamed for help, knowing that Sandusky’s wife was upstairs, but no one ever came to help him,” the grand jury report said.

The 10th accuser told the grand jury he was referred to The Second Mile in 1997, when he was 10 and experiencing problems at home. He also at-

tended Penn State games, spent time at Sandusky’s house, and was subjected to “wrestling sessions” in the basement of the home that led to Sandusky performing oral sex on the boy, authorities said. The accuser also detailed incidents at a pool on the Penn State campus, and a time when Sandusky allegedly exposed himself in a car and requested oral sex from the boy.

As he left his arraignment Wednesday in Bellefonte, Sandusky did not say anything or make eye contact with about two dozen reporters and photographers. Agents from the state attorney general’s office then drove him to the Centre County Jail after he was unable to post bail.

If he is able to pay, Sandusky will have to submit to electronic monitoring and house arrest, have no contact with victims or witnesses and have no unsupervised contact with minors.

“It may well be that Jerry’s going to be in jail for the overnight into tomorrow until we can sort this out,” Amendola said.

Prosecutors had sought $1 million in bail.

The new conditions ordered

by Senior Magisterial District Judge Robert E. Scott are a stark contrast to the $100,000 unsecured bail Sandusky was granted last month by a local judge.

‘America’s Got Talent’ winner and West Virginia native, Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., performs at the Creative Arts Center Wednesday evening.

Mallory Bracken/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., performs at the Creative Arts Center Wednesday evening.

“America’s Got Talent” winner, Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. performed in front of a sold-out crowd at West Virginia University’s Creative Arts Center last night.

Murphy took the stage, opening with his rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “Ain’t That a Kick in the Head.”

“I wasn’t sure if you guys (Morgantown) would have me back after I sang at the LSU game ... and we lost,” Murphy said during the concert.

In between songs Murphy joked about accidentally performing with chewing gum in his mouth, during his run on “America’s Got Talent.”

“That was the defining moment of Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. – gum in my pocket.”

Murphy said. “I keep going, I’m a Mountaineer. We climb mountains. That gum thing was a big mountain.”

Murphy said that his wife has been there for him through the whole journey to stardom. Friends always joked that he should put his wife in his show. He and his wife, Jennifer, performed a duet singing Nat and Natalie Coles’ “Unforgettable.”

“He’s really good. I watched him a few times on the show. I liked that he brought his wife out – that was really cute,” said Maleea Martin, a student at WVU. He began the second half of the concert by walking through the audience, surprising many attendees.

Prior to coming to Morgantown, Murphy was in Charleston, W.Va., for a meet and greet. More than 200 fans showed up to Budget Tapes and Records in Kanawha City yesterday. Fans waited in the rain for a chance to get an autograph and photo with Murphy.

Using his fame as a platform, Murphy encourages his fans to get involved with charities including the We Can program and the Children’s Home Society of West Virginia.

At last night’s concert, drop-off boxes were placed around the CAC to collect winter items to be donated to the Bartlett house and the Salvation Army of Morgantown.

The boxes will be available at tonights concert as well.

Most recently, Murphy created a page on Facebook to support teenagers worldwide, “TeenTip – To help not only teens but anyone who needs an emotional lift” was posted on Murphy’s Facebook wall Tuesday.

After the show, fans were invited to an autograph signing.

Murphy took the time to sit down in the lobby of the CAC and give autographs and pictures to the audience.

Both of the showings for the Morgantown venue sold out this past weekend. Murphy’s second performance will be tonight, at 7:30 p.m. in the Lyell B. Clay concert theater.
