SGA vice president arrested for DUI by mackenzie mays & john terry DA STAFF
West Virginia University Student Government Association Vice President Megan Callaghan was arrested for driving under the influence Sept. 4 around 8 p.m. following the WVU vs. Marshall game. Callaghan, 21, ran over a
“Do Not Enter” sign with her vehicle near University Avenue and Campus Drive, according to Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston. A Breathalyzer test determined her blood alcohol concentration to be measured at 0.233, Preston said. She was arraigned and released on a $250 bond. Callaghan gave a statement
Sunday night: “I’m sorry for the pain and embarrassment that I’ve caused. I regret that I’ve disappointed many people, including my friends and family. This has been a very trying time for me in my life, and I am still working through the situation. This has by no means affected my ability to serve the student body, and I will continue to
strive to fulfill our agenda.” The WVU SGA Code of Ethics reads: “All persons affiliated with SGA shall be expected to abide by all federal, state and local laws applicable both oncampus and away from the campus.” The ethics code further states that those found to be in violation “shall immediately

surrender their duties, pending the outcome of a hearing before the SGA Judicial Board.” SGA President Jason Bailey said Sunday night that Callaghan would continue to hold her position, despite the incident. “The ethics code has not been broken. No guilty charge of a crime has been put upon anyone in SGA,” Bailey said.
When asked if SGA planned to release a statement to the WVU student body, Bailey said he considered it a “personal issue. “This is an internal SGA issue – not a University issue,” he said. “It has not affected anything that goes on within SGA.” When Callaghan

A candlelight vigil was held at West Virginia University to honor and remember the family members and loved ones lost on Sept. 11, 2001. Emergency First Responders, including firefighters, law enforcement, EMS, active military and student ROTC military members, as well as community members, students, faculty and alumni were all in attendance. “I’m sure there isn’t a single person in this room who doesn’t remember where they were on that day ten years ago,” said Student Government Associa-
tion President Jason Bailey. “It truly was a defining moment of our generation as current students.” Bailey recalled being in 7th grade and hearing confused students talking about the events in the halls. He was informed about what had happened in his social studies class by his teacher. “‘You may not understand what this means now, but someday you will and you will never forget sitting in this classroom today,’” he said his teacher told the class. “She (his teacher) couldn’t be more correct.” Vice President for Student Affairs Ken Gray gave

Vice President for Administration and Finance Narvel Weese announced Friday at a Board of Governors meeting that West Virginia University’s 2011 income is 7.7 percent higher than anticipated. The University’s net assets have increased by $22.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, based on unaudited financial statements. “This is very positive news,” Weese said. “It reinforces the University’s financial capacity to implement a strategic capital plan.” Student applications have also increased by 3 percent – enrollment of transfer, honor and international students are up, Weese reported. President James P. Clements said he was happy to add what he calls “new points of pride” to a growing list.
WVU was recently ranked as the second best place to conduct research on a list of public universities, in addition to being named as one of the nation’s top five employers for workers over 50 by AARP. “One of the things I said when I first arrived at WVU was that we wanted to make this a really warm and welcoming place to work and value each other as an important part of the team,” Clements said. “I think these are all signals that that’s really happening.” On the same positive financial track, the BOG received a report that since its contract with Siemens Building Technologies in 2006, it’s saved more than $2.8 million from energy and water conservation. With the financial surplus, Clements said the University is in the process of adding 100 faculty positions. “Universities around the

Many made the ultimate sacrifice in an effort to save the lives of people that they did not know.” Gray also read a statement
“It’s up to the student body. I think our image will speak for itself with all the work we’ve done,” Bailey said. “Students will realize the good that SGA does.” Bailey said the incident will not stagger his and Callaghan’s administration. “Megan has worked harder as student body vice president than anyone I’ve known in the past,” he said. “We look forward to continuing what we already started. The agenda doesn’t stop here.” Ron Justice, director of WVU Student Organizations Services, said the University was aware of Callaghan’s charges, and the Office of Student Conduct is following up appropriately. from U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller, who recognized WVU’s efforts to remember 9/11. “That act of terrorism may have been intended to tear our nation down but instead it brought us together,” Rockefeller said. “That devastation came with unity. Our nation’s extraordinary response to 9/11 highlighted the deep compassion we have as a nation and for one another. “The West Virginia University community is exemplifying that unity with profound reverence here today.” University President James P. Clements was also in attendance to honor 9/11. Clements
“She met with us and has been very forthcoming,” Justice said. “She’s been a very good student leader and will move forward in the right way. Any further action would come from SGA.” Becky Loftstead, WVU spokeswoman, said though Callaghan must go through the process of the legal system and the University’s Office of Student Conduct, it’s up to SGA do decide what to do next. “People make mistakes sometimes, and you just have to bear with the consequences,” Loftstead said. “SGA has their own bylaws and constitution. In this case, we just have to see what SGA decides to do and what Megan decides to do.”

According to the WVU SGA constitution, impeachment may occur to any elected or appointed official for maladministration, corruption, violation of the ethics code, or dereliction or neglect of duty. Bailey said no public meeting was scheduled for Sunday night, despite an SGA governor’s tweet which stated “Last minute #WVU #SGA meeting scheduled for 10 p.m. in the Lair.” SGA members were spotted gathering in the Mountainlair Sunday night until around 11:45 p.m. A public SGA meeting is scheduled for tonight at 8:30 p.m. in the Lair.

During very tough economic times, other universities aren’t singing the same song we are,” Clements said. “I honestly believe we’re one of the hottest universities in the country.” President and CEO of the WVU Foundation R. Wayne King continued the “good news” theme of the meeting with his report of a record year for donors. Donors contributed $96.3 million during the fiscal year. “This speaks well for our governors who feel passionate
about WVU and have stepped up during a very challenging economic time,” King said. In other business, the Board approved the request for an issuance of $20 million in bonds for a new student health facility on the Evansdale campus. The request will be forwarded to acting West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin for issuance of the tax-exempt bonds and use of proceeds for the project.

Winehouse’s father said seizure killed the singer NEW YORK (AP) — Amy Winehouse’s father says he believes she died after suffering a seizure related to alcohol detoxification and “there was nobody there to rescue her.” The soul diva, who had fought drug and alcohol problems for years, was found dead in bed at her London home on July 23. Her family says toxicology reports indicated there was alcohol in her bloodstream but it was unclear whether this had contributed to her death at age 27. Mitch Winehouse said Friday during a taping of Anderson Cooper’s new syndicated talk show that traces of the prescription drug Librium, which is used to fight anxiety and withdrawal symptoms of alcoholism, were found in her body. “Everything Amy did, she did to excess,” he said on the show, which is to air as Cooper’s debut Monday. “She drank to excess and did detox to excess.” He said he regretted that
his daughter - whose most famous song, “Rehab,” has her answering “no, no, no” when told to go to rehab - was trying to kick her alcoholism without a doctor’s help. He said “the periods of abstinence were becoming longer, and the periods of drinking were becoming shorter. It was heading in the right direction.” The singer, whose other hits include “Tears Dry on Their Own,” had suffered seizures during this period and would lose consciousness. Her father admitted he was speculating that this happened on the morning she died and said he should find out more conclusively how she died when a full inquest into her death begins next month. Years earlier, when Amy Winehouse was on harder drugs including heroin and cocaine, her father said, he would not have been surprised if she had died. Mitch Winehouse, who is starting his own singing career, was in New York when
his daughter’s security guard called him in July. Hearing the distraught tone of the security guard’s voice, the father said his first words were, “Is she dead?” Amy Winehouse’s breakthrough “Back to Black” album was recently certified as the best-selling disc in Britain so far during the 21st century. The updated take on old-time soul also was responsible for five Grammy Awards. “When she wasn’t drinking,” her father said, “she was absolutely on top of the world.” He occasionally dabbed tears from his eyes as Cooper’s show ran video clips of her. He said he was comforted by the outpouring of support from her fans. Her mother, Janis Winehouse, said she’s had people approach her to thank her for having the singer. Mitch Winehouse said he blamed the singer’s exhusband, a music industry hanger-on, for introducing her to hard drugs but did not blame him for her death. He
said she had not taken drugs since December 2008. Amy Winehouse’s boyfriend at the time of her death, Reg Traviss, said they had spent a quiet evening looking at pictures and watching DVDs two days before she died. They were looking forward to attending a friend’s wedding in a few days and were planning a trip to St. Lucia around her Sept. 14 birthday. He said he struggled to find the right moments to talk to his girlfriend about her drinking without seeming as though he was nagging. “She was a really clever girl,” Traviss said. “She knew what she was doing. I would sometimes choose my moments when there was something that was needed to be said.” Winehouse’s family has set up a foundation to raise money to help people beat alcohol and drug addiction. Her father met with British political leaders to seek backing for setting up a drug rehab center Amy Winehouse’s father suspects a seizure to be her cause of death. in her name.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mel Gibson, who reportedly made anti-Semitic remarks during a drunken driving arrest five years ago, is now producing a film about the life of Jewish hero Judah Maccabee. Gibson’s publicist, Alan Nierob, told The Associated Press Friday that Gibson is working on a deal with Warner Bros. to develop the film through his company, Icon Productions. What Gibson’s exact role will be - whether he might direct or even star in the film - hasn’t been determined. “Warner Bros. would like him to direct,” Nierob said. “He is the first choice for the studio to direct it, but until there’s a deal in place and a script that’s fin-
ished, it will be his choice as to whether to direct it or not.” Joe Eszterhas of “Basic Instinct” and “Flashdance” fame is writing the script. No timetable is in place for it to be completed and for production to begin. But Gibson’s involvement with bringing Maccabee’s story to the screen in any form has angered some Jewish leaders. Maccabee, who’s acclaimed as one of the greatest warriors in Jewish history, helped inspire the celebration of Hanukkah. “We would have hoped that Warner Bros. could have found someone better than Mel Gibson to direct or perhaps even star in a film on the life of the Jewish historical icon Judah Maccabee,” Abraham Foxman,
national director of the AntiDefamation League, said in a statement. “As a hero of the Jewish people and a universal hero in the struggle for religious liberty, Judah Maccabee deserves better.” Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said: “Casting him (Gibson) as a director or perhaps as the star of (a film about) Judah Maccabee is like casting (Bernard) Madoff to be the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or a white supremacist as trying to portray Martin Luther King Jr. It’s simply an insult to Jews.” The American Gathering of Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants said: “Holocaust
survivors are aghast that a major Hollywood studio would join with Mel Gibson in this venture and view it as an affront to all victims of anti-Semitism, intolerance, and sexism.” Gibson, the Oscar-winning director of “Braveheart,” has defended himself against accusations of anti-Semitism ever since his 2006 drunken driving arrest, in which a deputy’s report revealed Gibson made Jewish and sexist slurs while in custody. Last month, he reached a $750,000 settlement with his ex-girlfriend, Russian musician Oksana Grigorieva, and agreed to continue providing housing and financial support for their young daughter to resolve a bit-
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A bit actor who appeared in the first “Austin Powers” movie was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the violent 1990 gang rape of a Southern California woman. Joseph Son, 40, was found guilty of one felony count of torture Aug. 25 after being linked to the crime through DNA evidence, said Farrah Emami, spokeswoman for the Orange County district attorney. In 1997’s “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,” Son wore a bowler hat and played one of Dr. Evil’s henchmen, named Random Task. Son and co-defendant Santiago Lopez Gaitan, 40, abducted the then-19-year-old victim as she was walking her dog by her apartment on Christmas Eve. Son and Gaitan drove the woman to Huntington Beach and repeatedly raped and sodomized her in the back of the car at gunpoint. They also pistol-whipped her and repeatedly threatened to kill her, counting the bullets and telling her she was going to die. Prosecutors say the woman, identified in court papers as Jane Doe, begged for her life before Son and Gaitan released her, naked, badly in-
jured and blindfolded with her own pants. She went to a local home, where police were called. It wasn’t until Son pleaded guilty to felony vandalism in 2008 and violated probation that he was required to provide a DNA sample. That sample was linked to DNA collected from Doe in 1990. In an “impact statement” to the court, the woman said

HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
can. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.
BORN TODAY New beginnings become possible this year. You often go back and forth in your mind about what you should do as opposed to what you want to do. Relationships might not be easy, but with patience situations ultimately will work out. If you are single, many people express interest in you. Don’t commit until you are 100 percent sure. If you are attached, misunderstandings happen out of the blue. Improve your listening skills. Learn to confirm what you hear. PISCES can be challenging, but you have similar core issues.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You are juggling two different needs or people. A neighbor or sibling seeks you out frequently, and, of course, there is no stopping him or her. Make calls to those at a distance. You need some information. Tonight: Escape from all the chatter.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Different aspects of your life vie for control. Meetings remain instrumental, though you might need time to get some work done. Close your door so you can attend to daily matters. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Allow yourself to listen to associates. Meetings provide information and could demonstrate the difference in how others view situations. A child or loved one seems to need more attention. Let this person know when you will be there for him or her. Tonight: Until the wee hours. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Demands seem to appear left and right. You will need to talk to a higher-up in order to confirm his or her priorities, which you probably need to make your own. Nevertheless, domestic matters require your attention. Juggle as much as you
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Juggling your financial concerns with the needs and commitments of others keeps you busy and overwhelmed. It becomes obvious that there is a need to revamp your daily situation. Discussions lead to good ideas. Tonight: Don’t let your pride interfere. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You have your hands full. Others keep seeking you out. Stay on top of the situation, if possible. Establish limits as to what you will do. Tonight: Decide who, if anyone, you want to socialize with. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH You might feel a bit tired and drawn handling a work or personal matter. Others keep asking you to pitch in or help. The end result is that you feel quite overwhelmed. Take a walk midday to clear your mind and help you prioritize. Tonight: Try vanishing early! SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Emphasis is on creativity, children, a risk and/or a loved one. You clearly want to go off and enjoy yourself, but responsibilities call. Meetings demand your attention. If you want to realize a certain goal, you cannot drop the ball now. Tonight: Time for some fun!
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You need to deal with a personal matter. All arrows point to that direction. You have professional or other responsibilities. If you relax and fine-tune your schedule, you will see a path. Recognize that for some of you, the personal issue must be resolved in order for you to flourish elsewhere. Tonight: Just go with the moment. C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH If you really must get a job done or focus on a matter, you might want to turn off your phone and not get caught up in the moment and what is going on. Eventually you will need to deal with all the activity, but at your own pace. Tonight: Catch up on everyone’s news. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You have your hands full juggling different concerns. Many of these issues surround finances; some have to do with other people. A partnership also might be involved. Don’t make a final decision yet, or else you could be very sorry. Tonight: Let someone else make the first move. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Today’s Full Moon spotlights you. Everyone likes the limelight, but with it comes many requests and responsibilities. Fortunately, this is a passage, not a daily given. Knowing that, honor what is happening. Enjoy the popularity. Tonight: Remember that you call the shots. BORN TODAY Singer, songwriter Barry White (1944), singer Jennifer Hudson (1981), singer George Jones (1931)

Staying healthy is everyone’s responsibility Warm days are coming to an end and flu season is approaching. In order to fight illness during the changing season, it is important to avoid spreading germs and maintain proper hygiene. Staying healthy and fighting the flu is a joint effort from everyone on campus. Use hand sanitizer regularly. It is located in various areas throughout campus. Avoid others when ill.
With nearly 30,000 West Virginia University students in Morgantown, keeping your hands clean and sanitized is always a great habit. The more people that are around, the more germs that are present. When opening a door, stop and think about how many people have touched the same door knob – it will make you head straight to a sanitizing station. The best way to fight a cold is to address the symptoms from
the start. Don’t wait until your immune system is down and out. According to the Center for Disease Control, symptoms may include coughing, fever, body aches and muscle pains, headaches, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea. If these symptoms are experienced, take a vitamin C tablet and rest – the bars will have gone on without you. Always cover your cough and sneeze into your bent elbow; using
your hand will lead to spreading germs. Even if you don’t have a fever and you think you’ll be OK, stay home. The Daily Athenaeum has encouraged students in the past to update flu vaccinations and we’ll do it again. Every precaution you can take to prevent or curb flu symptoms will only benefit you. College can be challenging and is even more so when you are ill and unable to attend classes.
But even if every measure has been taken, you still become ill, which is why you should save any absence for when it is needed. When ill, don’t try not to attend class. Email your professor ahead of time and they will most likely understand – they don’t want to get sick either. Take care of yourself, and others. Staying healthy is everyone’s responsibility.

Rick Perry, Tea Party ignore science, logic and reason
crv.educacao.mg.gov.
Carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere from smoke stacks like the ones pictured.
DA Yes
Rick Perry and the Tea Party do not think global warming is real, man-made or otherwise. In fact, they seem to be positive about this. Tea partyers rate their level of information about global warming far higher than any other group. They are also much less interested in new information on global warming than Democrats, Independents or nontea party Republicans. They are delusional. Despite being the most confident, they are also the most wrong. That’s not just my opinion (though it, emphatically, is); it’s demonstrable. Between 97 and 98 percent of climate scientists think global warming is happening and human activities are to blame. When tea partyers were asked what proportion of climate scientists hold such beliefs, most said between 20 and 40 percent.
other hand, control our response by moving from the bottom row to the top. If we’re in the left column, where 97 percent of climate scientists think we are, taking action saves our butts. We get a chance to continue civilization, polar bears may survive and our grand kids will be really grateful. If we’re in the left column and don’t act, we’re in trouble. We can expect more floods and tornadoes, hundreds of millions of Bangledeshi climate refugees and a biologically impoverished world for thousands of human generations. What if Rick Perry is right, and all the climate scientists are wrong and global warming turns out to be no big deal? If we don’t take action – the suggestion of nearly all Republicans, Tea Party and otherwise – we’ll get business as usual. There will be more mining and drilling, more pollution and fewer forests. Business as usual is actually a misnomer, because oil production is on the inexorable decline that follows peak production, and because scores of other environmental re-

are consistent with the idea that the odds associated with such events increase as surface and water temperatures rise,” he said. “Basically,” he said, “we’re loading the dice to make these things more likely.” I asked another biology professor, Jim McGraw, about his concerns with global warming. He said we’re thinking about it all wrong. “If you have a 1 percent chance of death by car accident, you take out insurance. We need to think of climate change as a risk to insure against. Climate change is a disaster that could befall us, and climate scientists tell us the risk is much greater than that of death by car accident, yet we’re not taking action.” He’s right. We need to stop asking whether we’re sure global warming is real and caused by humans (though if by we, we mean the experts, we are). What we should be asking is how much risk we are willing to take. Check out the following chart: We have no control over whether we are in the left or right column. We can, on the
Take precautionary action?

Just 1 percent of tea partyers chose the correct answer of 81 to 100 percent. When asked how worried they are about global warming, 51 percent of tea partyers say they are not worried at all. Perhaps more surprising, only 9 percent of all Americans say they are very worried about global warming (though over half say they are “very” or “somewhat” worried). How, I wonder, can the beliefs of so many differ so much from those of the experts? I walked the hallowed halls of this institution to talk with our professors about climate change. I asked two professors how worried they were about global warming. Both said they were very worried. A West Virginia University biology professor, Bill Peterjohn, thinks the flood of deadly weather this year – the fires in Texas, Hurricane Irene, the tornadoes that devastated the southeast and Midwest and the flooding of the Mississippi – is related to global warming. He said he thinks that relationship is real. “These climate extremes

alities, from nitrogen pollution to the exhaustion of mineral ores, will slow industrial activity. If we’re in the top-right box – if global warming isn’t a concern but we do take action – then we end up with a clean energy economy, freed from dependence on limited supplies in volatile parts of the world, a cleaner environment,and a jump-
start on China in developing the technologies of the future. Whether or not global warming turns out to be the threat that climate scientists say it is, we’re better off acting like it will be. Reducing carbon emissions and developing clean energy technologies is both the prudent thing to do and the best thing for our economy and environment.

Online dating inhibits users from gaining social skills danielle faipler columnist
Which of the two would you want to tell your children? “I broke his nose when I bendand-snapped,” or, “We met on Blendr.” Sadly, more people are starting to tell their children that they met on Blendr or another online dating website. Granted, life is not a Disney movie, but why should anyone have to settle for a lame story if they do not want one? Online dating websites make meeting people convenient and easy for the shy, but with the development of location-based
DA
dating apps, dating has been taken over by insecurity and may have crossed the line. The newest iPhone app, Blendr, is a prime example of this. Blendr is a location-based mobile network allowing users to connect to other users nearby. It allows them to choose who can see their profile and gives their approximate location. While the app is handy, it takes away from the thrill of meeting new people. The initial awkwardness of meeting someone new is what makes that bond unique. It also gives the opportunity to present oneself without the preconceived notions given by a profile picture.
Inversely, a profile picture or its information will not fool the other person. A lot of people lie on profiles to make themselves seem better than they are, such as what they do for a living, or how old they are. In the U.S., men are more likely to lie about their age, height and income. Women are more likely to lie about their weight, physique and age. When there are lies like this before the relationship starts, how can it grow? It proves the user is insecure, and if they lie about their age, what else will they lie about? Meeting new people also helps to develop social skills for the shy and unnaturally bold. The main thing to keep
in mind is that rejection is the worst that can happen. While rejection can lead to a small blow to the ego, it is not the end of the world. It can be scary and embarrassing, but rejection is beneficial because it allows for growth. When someone is shy, it does not help to sit behind a computer and interact with people they may never see. The only way to get past shyness is to interact with people and get comfortable with it. Conversation may flow like a river online, but nothing will happen if the conversation cannot be held in person. If conversation cannot be practiced, it will not get better. More likely than not, the key to conversation is flattery, lis-
tening and being yourself with no apologies. Aside from limited social activity, location-based dating services are creepy. The fact that location is given can be scary, even if it is an approximation of 30 feet away. According to www.relationshiplaboratory.com, one out of 10 sex offenders use online dating sites; who knows what they are capable of or what can happen. In April, a 15-year-old Canadian boy was assaulted by a 54-year-old man that he met through the app Grindr. Grindr is from the same company that produced Blendr, but it was created for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender population.
The 54-year-old man was arrested for sexual assault following a trial last August. The terms and conditions of Grindr state that users must be 18 years or older, and encourages parents to limit accessibility of 17 and older sites to under aged children. Even with this, Grindr may still be facing legal charges. Most dating websites are safe, but with the development of location-based services like Blendr, users are going to have to be more careful. These sites take away the need to socialize oneself and grow as a person. Instead of taking chances on a failed date, people are encouraged to expect their lives to be handed to them.

9/11 remembered through art at CAC

Students perform a dance piece, 'Standing Tall', during Remembering Through the Arts at the Creative Arts Center on September 11.
by leighann mcclurg a&e writer
Every American has been affected by the attacks on September 11, 2001 in one way or another. From the residents who lived in New York City to the people on the West Coast, September 11 will always remain a part of our lives, but it is up to individuals to decide how we remember this day. “Remembering Through the Arts” at the Creative Arts Center at West Virginia University, which was held Sunday, gave the public an opportunity to
pay their respects. “Standing Tall,” was an interpretive dance piece, provided a theatrical representation of the events of that day. During the piece, dancers portrayed the terror 9/11. The World Trade Center towers were seen as lights highlighting two dancers standing tall, eventually crumbled to the stage. Defeat was the initial conclusion, but as the dancers rose to their feet in a sense of rebirth, it mirrored the actions of America in our response to never give up and always look forward. Apart from other memorial
services and events honoring 9/11, “Remembering Through the Arts” provided us with a different way to handle our remorse in coming together and being a part of something creatively. For some, this was a chance to honor, remember and pay their respects in a way that is comfortable to them. Other chances to be a part of the ten-year anniversary were found all around campus involving name readings, the lighting of the tree beside the Downtown library and a candlelight vigil held Sunday night.

‘The Black Crown’ stays true to Suicide Silence’s brutality jake potts a&e editor
The metal music scene has underwent several drastic changes over the past few years. From incorporating clean vocals and melodies into songs,
The Black Crown
Suicide Silence
Suicide Silence’s newest album, “The Black Crown,” keeps the elements that make the band as unique as they are today.
to full-out electronic sections throughout the tracks, the true metal style is one that may be considered a lost cause. However, Suicide Silence’s third studio-recorded album “The Black Crown” disagrees. Starting in Riverside, Calif., in 2002, the members of Suicide Silence have worked to set themselves apart from the every-day metal scene. With a signature growling sound and breakdowns that hit harder than a sledgehammer, the members of Suicide Silence have spent almost a decade delivering chilling tunes of intense magnitudes. Following the band’s first two albums, “The Cleansing” and “No Time to Bleed,” the band’s newest album “The Black Crown” had some big shoes to fill – and it did anything but disappoint. The opening track, “Slaves to Substance,” immediately reminds us of the punchy percussions that have made Suicide Silence’s drummer Alex Lopez’s reputation what it is today. The expected low-pitched guitar riffs also come into play
and remind us of why we loved Suicide Silence in the first place. Throughout the album, many of the tricks incorporate principles the band has been thriving off of for the past two albums. The thing that sets Suicide Silence apart from the other bands in this genre is their reluctance to conform. Some other bands are keeping their breakdowns but also incorporating clean vocal sections for potential dancers to enjoy, but Suicide Silence has kept the raw, in-your-face, kick-your-ass metal we have come to expect from the band. The second track, “O.C.D.” starts with a heavy guitar section and doesn’t introduce Mitch Lucker, the band’s vocalist, until a few seconds in. Almost immediately, the tempo slows, the pitch drops and you’re head over heels into the first of many brutal breakdowns. Playing off the success of their first two albums, it seems the band has followed the old saying, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” The band’s first album, “The Cleansing” solidified the band’s reputation for being as heavy as
Suicide Silence’s newest album, ‘The Black Crown’ keeps the cutthroat attitude the band has become known for. a listener could want. With mind-numbing breakdowns throughout the album, such as “No Pity for a Coward,” the band’s reputation has lived to see their newest album. The closing track on the album, “Cancerous Skies” takes a new route in some sections with guitar. The same punchy sound is
throughout the track, but in certain sections a higher-pitched rhythm is played on guitar. Eventually, the track fades off, leaving the listener wanting more. Overall, this album is as much as a metalhead could ask for. Punchy percussion, heavy guitar riffs and breakdowns that will hit you right in the face, it is defi-

nitely worth the money. Suicide Silence’s brutality is as strong as ever and their newest album, “The Black Crown” makes that statement loud and clear.

Latest ‘Deus Ex’ video game proves God may be in the machine jamie carbone a&e writer
The “Deus Ex” series has been around for more than a decade and yet, in all that time, has only released three games. Some may see that as a bad sign, but if this kind of production schedule leads to games as entertaining as “Deus Ex: Human Revolution,” I say go for it. A prequel to the earlier titles in the series, “Human Revolution” puts players in the shoes of Adam Jensen, a former cop who now works as a security specialist for Sarif Industries and the man in charge, David Sarif. Sarif Industries is one of the companies leading the charge in augmented technologies, prosthesis and upgrades people can get if they’ve lost a limb or need assistance with their job. Besides that, Sarif Industries also does a lot of weapon manufacturing for augmented soldiers.
This soon leads to trouble as a group of terrorists storm the company, kill many of the employees and leave Jensen seriously crippled. Sarif decides to have Jensen augmented so as to not lose a valuable employee and, after six months, he is back to his old job trying to find out what the terrorists were after as well as what really happened to Megan, his ex-girlfriend and Sarif scientist. Gamers who have been looking for a noir-influenced world of cyberpunk need not look further, as Eidos Interactive and Square Enix have answered your prayers. As Jensen, players will be sent from location to location, protecting Sarif Industries’ property and halting further terrorist attacks. It is up to players to decide how they want to play the game, focusing on either stealth or extreme violence, as well as whether or not to kill all those you meet in combat. Taking place in the nearfuture, players will also fre-
quently encounter computers and security systems which they can hack to make their jobs easier. Players will also be forced into conversations at various points in the game, such as convincing a terrorist to let his hostage go or convincing a police officer to let you into the morgue. If you fail these challenges, things can get more difficult later on, so try to choose the correct dialogue. Regardless of how they save the day, players will earn experience for the actions they take. Every time they fill the experience bar, they can purchase upgrades for the augments, such as better computer hacking skills, stronger skin or better reflexes. Depending on how they want to play, this is where players have to make the tough decisions. Perhaps the best part of the gameplay is the stealth system. It reminds me heavily of “Batman: Arkham Asylum” as, while Jensen can spend the whole game sneaking around,

The latest “Deus Ex” video game incorporates the installation of weaponry on fallen and disabled soldiers. rarely do you feel like you’re in danger and, if caught, the situation can be easily handled. The problem with this game is that you never get an idea of how big an impact your actions are going to have. For example, in the first proper mission, if you hang
around the office building too long, the terrorists will kill the hostages they’ve taken. There is no hint that this might happen and it can be frustrating, to say the least. Certain dialogue choices may also lead to similar frustrations.
Even with that, “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” is still one of the most entertaining games to come out lately and is well worth its price tag.

What first half?
open in the end zone to give WVU some momentum. The Mountaineer offensive line struggled with run blocking, as WVU gained a mere 39 yards rushing in the opening half. “Run game (was) not good,” Holgorsen said. “We’re usually targeted right, but we’re not finishing blocks.” The Spartans rallied back on their two final drives of the first half, kicking two field goals to go into the locker room on top, 12-10. The second half was a whole different story, as WVU opened the floodgates early in the third quarter. WVU scored a touchdown on its first five drives of the

No. 18 WVU overcomes slow start to rout Norfolk State 55-12 by ben gaughan
associate sports editor
After a dismal first half, No. 19 West Virginia pulled away in the second half to defeat Norfolk State 55-12 Saturday. West Virginia went into halftime down 12-10 and was outgained 242 to 143 in total yards. “I don’t know if that’s a coaching error as far as having these guys ready to play,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “We could come up with a bunch of different excuses, but I’m proud of the way they came out in the second half and responded to what we said to them at half time and got a bunch of snaps, which hopefully will make us a better overall team.” The Mountaineers were just
one of six on third downs and held the ball for just 10:52 in the first half. The offense had only 104 passing yards, opposed to 178 for Norfolk State. Trailing 6-0, in the second quarter, WVU had a chance to score with the ball on Norfolk’s one-yard line. The offense failed to score despite running six plays from the one, which forced a field goal by kicker Tyler Bitancurt to make it 6-3. “Offensively, (Norfolk State) were giving us the run all night and we weren’t sustaining blocks,” Holgorsen said. “Receivers refused to get by people without running right into them.” WVU did not score its first touchdown of the game until 5:53 left in the second quarter. Junior quarterback Geno

Senior defensive end Bruce Irvin (11) rushes at Norfolk State’s Chris Walley. The West Virginia defense has not allowed a touchdown in either of its games this season. Smith completed a pass to sophomore wide receiver Ivan McCartney for 11 yards to the 45-yard line. Smith then threw to junior inside receiver Tavon
Austin for a 15-yard gain. After two rushes by freshman running back Vernard Roberts, Smith found senior inside receiver Devon Brown wide
WVU must eliminate slow starts
For two quarters, the West Virginia offense was pretty difficult to watch. With the exception of a drive that took 11 plays to go 81 yards down the field midway through the second quarter, the Mountaineers were never able to get anything going in the first half. That one drive alone accounted for more than half of their yards in that first 30 minutes of play. Then the second half came around, and it looked like an entirely different Mountaineer team taking the field. Every drive was on point. It looked the way it looked when Dana Holgorsen ran his offenses at Oklahoma State, Houston and Texas Tech. But, for the second game in a row, against a team that was inferior to them, West Virginia struggled to piece together a full game and even though this sounds extremely obvious, it can’t afford to have something like that happen throughout the rest of the season. While there’s no denying how good the second half was, West Virginia needs to get things going early if it wants to have success, especially with the games it has coming up in the next two weeks. With the likes of Maryland, LSU and the teams in the Big East Conference, there’s not going to be much room for West Virginia to play as poorly as it did in the first half against Norfolk State. The Mountaineers even struggled to get going against Marshall for the first quarter. However, just like in Saturday’s game, West Virginia was able to start getting into the flow of things on offense, and the defense did what it needed to do to hold the other team from scoring. A team like WVU can afford to have slow starts against the likes of Marshall and Norfolk

WVU offense regroups in second Mountaineers defeat High Point half with flurry of touchdowns 1-0, improve to 4-3 on the season women’s soccer

Trailing by two points at halftime, the No. 18 West Virginia football team felt like it was in pretty hot water. Then again, the team wasn’t aware of how hot the offense would be when it took the field after halftime. In a stunning display of speed, precision and execution, the West Virginia offense racked up 186 yards in the third quarter, scoring 28 unanswered points en route to a decisive 55-12 victory. After a first half that saw the Mountaineer offense outgained 242-143, junior quarterback Geno Smith dismantled the Norfolk State s e condar y, completing eight of nine passes for two touchdowns. On the second play of the half, Smith connected with redshirt sophomore wide receiver Stedman Bailey for a 40-yard gain – which set up a Vernard Roberts touchdown run. Roberts and fellow true freshman running back Dustin Garrison each tallied a rushing touchdown in the quarter. While Roberts’ third quarter performance was impressive, it was the speedy Garrison who turned the tide in favor of the Mountaineers. “Dustin did a good job of coming in and sparking us there in the third quarter,” head coach Dana Holgorsen said. “He made a couple of big plays.” Garrison, who finished the quarter with 47 total yards, opened the game up with a 36-yard reception to start the second drive of the half. “(Running backs coach Robert) Gillespie came up to me and told me what the play was,” Garrison said. “I already knew in my mind (the play
Following nearly two hours of weather delays, the West Virginia women’s soccer team defeated High Point 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. A crowd of 571 watched the Mountaineers improve to 4-3 on the season. Lightning struck for the first time three minutes into the game at 1:07 p.m., and they didn’t resume play until 2:30 p.m.. Thirty minutes later, lightning struck again and sent the players back to their respective locker rooms at 3:04 p.m. The second weather delay was brief and the players returned to the field at 3:37 p.m. “You can’t control the weather, but from a weather standpoint, it was frustrating,” said West Virginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “You’ve got to credit High Point for eliminating all of those scoring chances.” Senior forward Blake Miller got the Mountaineers on the board first with a 37th minute goal assisted by sophomore Katie Lenz. The goal was Miller’s second of the season and was also the first shot of the game for either team. It ended up being the only goal of the game. “We found one and it only takes one to win,” Izzo-Brown said. It seems the front line for West Virginia has been struggling in the finishing department all season – particularly inside the box. “You can’t control the weather, but we can control finishing,” Izzo-Brown said. “We just have to get more goals.” Not only did West Virginia

When asked what was different after coming out of the locker room, Garrison indicated that the change in the team overall was a mental al-
teration, as opposed to a physical or schematic switch. “(It was) just our attitude toward the run game,” he said. “We went into the locker room at halftime just trying to figure out what was going on, and we came to the conclusion that it was just our effort and our intensity.” Holgorsen himself claimed that the second-half outburst was not related to any changes in the coaches’ game plan. “We ran the same plays the second half that we did in the first half,” he said. “It was all about effort and playing up to tempo. “I don’t know if we’re trying too hard or if it was a coaching error, (but) either way, I’m proud of the way we came out in the second half.” charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Senior forward Blake Miller scored the game-winning goal for WVU in the 37th minute Sunday. dominate the shots on goal category, but they also had eight corner kicks to just one for the visiting Panthers. The Mountaineer backline and goalkeeper Sara Keane performed well all game. The team held High Point to just four shots on goal on their way to their second consecutive shutout. In fact, all of West Virginia’s wins this season have come by the way of a shutout. Senior defender Erica Henderson anchors an experienced group of defenders that seemed to give the Panthers fits all afternoon. What has been the key to their
success? “I think just our communication between the backline with our midfield and (Sara) Keane in goal,” Henderson said. “Communication is a big factor in any game.” The c o m mu n i cat i o n helped the team build some momentum before Big East Conference play begins on Thursday at South Florida. “It gives us a lot of confidence going in (to conference play) with two shutouts,” Henderson said. “Going with confidence is a great way to start.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

No. 8 WVU loses to No. 6 UCSB, ties Cal Poly on West Coast road trip by alex sims sports writer
Another weekend of nonconference tests has ended for the No. 8 West Virginia (2-2-1) men’s soccer team. Its California road trip began Friday with a 2-0 loss at No. 6 UC-Santa Barbara (4-0-1) in front of a hostile crowd of more than 3,000. UCSB’s first goal came off of the head of its leading scorer David Opoku, following a Sam Garza corner kick in the 23rd minute. Junior WVU defender Eric Schoenle prevented Opoku from netting another goal in the 37th minute, clearing the ball from just off the goal line. The Gauchos played an excellent defensive game, allowing the Mountaineers to take only four shots, none of which were on goal. “The build-up was good throughout the game, and the possession was good,” said West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “It was the final pass that was lacking.” WVU’s defensive effort was respectable as well, as it held UCSB to nine shots, eight below its season average, but the
Gauchos were able to take advantage of two mistakes by the Mountaineer defense. The second goal of the match for UCSB came in the 65th minute from senior Luis Silva from 19 yards out past WVU goalkeeper Pat Eavenson, who finished the match with three saves. In the second half, the Mountaineers began to control the ball but the solid team defense by the Gauchos would not allow a clean shot. Senior midfielder Matt Drake led West Virginia with two shots, and junior midfielder Shadow Sebele and senior defender Ray Gaddis added a shot a piece for the Mountaineers. The treacherous road trip continued for WVU at Cal Poly (2-1-2) on Sunday, as the Mountaineers fought to a 0-0 draw. The Mustangs controlled much of the action in the game, against a tired West Virginia squad as they registered a season-high 20 shots. “They’re a very direct team. We ended up defending more than we wanted to because they got so many balls in the

box,” LeBlanc said. “Credit them because they put us under pressure and didn’t let us find space.” Despite this, WVU’s defense managed to keep the net empty, much thanks to strong play from junior goalkeeper Justin Holmes, who finished with nine saves. The Mountaineer head coach is satisfied with the results of the difficult road trip, and knows that this weekend has further proven that his team has the ability play with the best in the country. “It’s taken two top-five teams to beat us so far this year, so I’m not concerned about not getting a win,” LeBlanc said. “We’ll move on very, very quickly and be ready for Richmond on Friday.” Sebele and freshman Andy Bevin both had one shot on goal in the game, while junior goalkeeper Justin Holmes notched a shutout in his first career start at WVU. WVU returns home to host Richmond on Friday at 7:30 p.m. then Duquesne on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc was not discouraged even though the Mountaineers did not pick up a win on their road trip this weekend. pected it to be - just look at that third quarter on Saturday. They can be just as highpowered and dynamic as any team head coach Dana Holgorsen has coached for in the past. But, they have to find a way to carry it out over the course of an entire game - not just wait for a quarter or two to go by and then decide to turn it on. If West Virginia plays as poorly as it did in the first half of the Norfolk State game against LSU or Maryland, it won’t be a pretty game. The
same could be said about a lot of the games against conference teams. A lot of people came into this season expecting the Mountaineers to be something truly special – and they can be. They have a defense that, even though it has had some rough moments and hasn’t forced any turnovers yet, has embodied the motto of “bend it, don’t break it.” While it’s given up its fair share of big plays, WVU has yet to allow a touchdown this year. This offense can be out-
standing. That much is easy to see. It seems consistency and having them get to the right tempo is something Holgorsen hasn’t gotten to display yet. When they put everything together for an entire game, the Mountaineers will be deadly. Until that happens, it could be extremely difficult for this team to win games against teams that, unlike Marshall and Norfolk State, will be just as talented as they are.
catching a pass out of the backfield for 36 yards, and gaining Continued from page 7 13 yards on a run to put the Mountaineers in scoring territory. Garrison ended the drive second half. On the second with a one-yard rushing touchdrive, freshman running back down, his first of his career, givDustin Garrison led the way, ing West Virginia a 31-12 lead. “I think that’s one thing that (running backs coach Robert Gillespie) likes about me, being able to catch the ball out of the backfield and running the routes,” Garrison said. “I think that’s one quality that Holgorsen and Gillespie find (to be) a good trait that you can have.”
Five different receivers caught a touchdown for the Mountaineers and nine different players recorded receptions in the game. “I just think we came out and didn’t play our game in the first half, for whatever reasons,” Smith said. “But, the second half was a bit of night and day. I think we did a great job of overcoming adversity.” “We did a good job of adjusting to what the defense was doing,” he said. “As well as our receivers weren’t getting off the jam early on, but those guys fought and got better as the
game went along.” Brown led the team with 109 yards and a touchdown, while Austin followed with 82 yards and one score on a team-high six catches. The Baltimore, Md., native also had another good game on special teams, returning a punt for 64 yards that set up a touchdown. Smith finished the game with 371 yards, which is good for seventh all-time in WVU history, and four touchdowns on the day. As a whole, the Mountaineer offense gained 533 yards. Freshman quarterback Paul Millard also saw playing time in the fourth quarter, completing five of six passes for 60 yards and a 30-yard touchdown pass to senior Brad Starks.
Continued from page 7 State because West Virginia just has a lot more talent than those teams, which helps them overcome a bad start. That won’t happen when LSU comes to Morgantown or even this week when the Mountaineers travel to Maryland. This Mountaineer team has shown in these first few weeks it has the potential to break out and be what everybody has ex-
