City Council approves final phase of Streetscape by lydia nuzum

associate city editor

Funding and grant project agreements for the fifth and final phase of the High Street Streetscape Improvement Project were unanimously approved by Morgantown City Council Tuesday, with the completion of the project set for the end of 2012.

The project – an initiative designed to improve lighting, sidewalks and crosswalks along High Street – has a pro-

jected cost of $3.8 million. The project will also include landscaping improvements to address the trees that line both sidewalks along the street.

“The curbs surrounding the trees – something needs to be done,” said Ron Bane, First Ward councilor and deputy mayor.

“I’ve seen so many people fall. I saw one girl fall while walking down the street – she split her knee open. It’s awful.”

The renovations to High Street are completed in city

blocks. Construction on the first two blocks was completed in 2006. A third block of the street was finished in 2008, and renovations on a fourth block of the project were completed in 2010.

The city received $350,000 funding in July toward the completion of the project.

Members of city council proposed a change to the current curbs surrounding trees along the street. Jenny Selin, Fourth Ward councilor, said they would need to work with

other entities to find a solution to any safety concerns presented by the curbs.

“I think it’s part Tree Board, part Urban Landscape Commission, so the people who are maintaining it – helping to provide trees and direction on public trees – could then consider other options,” Selin said. “If we could just look at something that is not a tripping hazard, would not allow the mulch to come out and didn’t hurt the trees, we’d be golden.”

The project also includes a maintenance agreement.

The agreement is a 15-year commitment to maintaining a suitable level of maintenance to the High Street improvements.

The council discussed budgeted provisions for equipment to remove chewing gum from the sidewalks and portions of the street.

“The accumulation of gum on the street is pretty bad,” Bane said. “It’s disgusting.”

The final phase of the proj-

ect will overhaul the block of High Street between Kirk and Foundry streets. The estimated cost of improvements to the final block is $600,000.

The council also discussed expansion of the Morgantown Municipal Airport and approved an ordinance to address the finance and construction of an new roadway, as well as an extension of utilities on the east side of the airport. lydia.nuzum@mail.wvu.edu

Brazilian Embassy representatives visit University SGA Speak-Up addresses campus transportation issues by carlee lammers staff writer

by joshua clark staff writer

The 2011 Transportation and Parking Plan was presented by the West Virginia University Student Government Association during a Student Speak-Up held in the Mountainlair Tuesday.

The plan, drafted by the WVU Department of Transportation and Parking, will affect transportation and parking July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2017.

“We subsidize $900,000 a year to Mountain Line annually,” said Hugh Kierig, director of Transportation and Parking.

“We pay for all the Thursday through Saturday ‘entertainment’ buses and 75 cents for every student who swipes a card. Even so, we are always looking for ways to help students access bus services.”

The new plan will include improvements to the PRT. Dave Small, SGA director of safety, said the funding for the proposed PRT system improvement has been difficult to obtain.

“The PRT needs $93 million for the improvements to get completed, and grant requests have failed twice,” Kierig said.

“There used to be earmarks, allotments of funding set aside for specific projects. Now, the current state of Washington doesn’t allow that. Morgantown gets $1.2 million for total federal transit, and compared to all fixed guideway projects, our amount of grant money is .007 percent of the total.”

Daniel Brummage, a senior business management student, said he wanted to know whether parking improvements would allow change for students paying to park in the Mountainlair Parking Garage. The parking rate in the garage is currently $1.25, an increase of 25 cents from previous years.

“Our pay and display system will become pay-byspace,” Kierig said. “Starting tentatively in the fall semester, one change will be to purchase a permit in the upper level of the garage. You will go to the pay machine, put in how much time you want and what space you are parked in, and pay without having to go back to your car. Pricing will stay the same, but there will be an option for credit cards and giving change.”

The West Virginia University Office of Multicultural Programs welcomed members of the Brazilian Embassy Tuesday as part its Cultural Attaches Program.

The event worked to provide students with a globalized, culturally enriching experience without even having to leave Morgantown, said Sabrina Cave, executive director of the Mountaineer Parents Club.

“The beauty of us being such a diverse campus is that if a student can’t study abroad, we can actually bring the culture to them,” Cave said. “We are thrilled to be able to expose

our students and faculty to Brazilian culture.”

Providing students with a global experience has the ability to make them well-rounded individuals and prepare them for life after graduation, Cave said.

“It’s a desirable experience for students to gain global experience at WVU. It’s really valuable for students to enrich their education and get outside of the box,” she said.

The Brazilian Embassy representatives traveled from D.C. to present “Brazil: The future is today,” a program dedicated to spreading awareness about Brazil’s emerging economy and

Study examines dogs’ effect on post-traumatic stress by jessica lear staff writer

West Virginia University, with the support of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, is examining the effect service dogs have on veterans.

Researchers in the WVU Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources, and Design hope to find that specially trained dogs can help veterans combat post-traumatic stress disorder and return to the workforce.

Matt Wilson, interim division director of Animal and Nutritional Sciences, said the dogs

will be trained to work with veterans who have symptoms of heightened awareness and hypersensitivity to noise.

“The hope is that the dogs will allow veterans to work with a dog trained to recognize the veterans’ distress, and dissipate that in a way that allows them to secure and maintain employment and reintegration into society,” Wilson said.

Wilson said he believes it is the public’s duty to help veterans get acclimated back into to society and the workplace when they return from overseas.

“Personally, I think we owe a

NIOSH has provided WVU with $273,202 to work on Project ROVER: Returning Our Veterans to Employment and Reintegration.

“NIOSH has a larger effort focused on total worker health.

We think including an objective investigation of the role

service dogs might be able to play in that initiative could lead to novel approaches to helping service men and women returning from action to reintegrate into the civilian workforce,” Wilson said.

Although there are not many direct studies involving service dogs and veterans, Wilson is convinced the project will achieve positive results.

“There is considerable anecdotal evidence that animal companions can alleviate stress. In this case, it’s the stress from exposure to combat,” he

Shooting occurs at UC Berkeley during protests BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — A day of demonstrations by students and anti-Wall Street activists was disrupted Tuesday when a campus police officer shot a man with a gun about a half-mile from the main protest site at the University of California, Berkeley.

The shooting occurred inside the Haas School of Business as hundreds of demonstrators left an outdoor plaza at the university for a march to demonstrate outside a bank.

Officials did not know if the suspect was part of the Occupy Cal movement, said Ute Frey, a spokeswoman for the university.

“I just hope it wasn’t from the protest or the movement, because that’s not what the movement is about,” said Sadia Saif, a 19-year-old sophomore at UC Berkeley.

University officials said a female staff member reported a man with a gun at 2:17 p.m.

Police found the suspect in a third-floor computer room where there were at least four students.

The suspect raised the gun and was shot by an officer, according to the school. The condition of the 33-year-old suspect was not immediately known. His name was not released.

Dong Hwan Kim, 27, a senior, said he was terrified when he learned of the shooting.

“The shooting, in addition to what’s happening here with the protests, makes the campus feel really tense,” Kim said. “This is a historical moment, but it is also really scary at the same time.”

Protesters descended on the university after ReFund California, a coalition of student groups and university employee unions, called for a

Dozens of people were arrested during Occupy demonstrations at the University of California, Berkeley campus, as authorities twice clashed with protesters trying to set up encampments. campus strike, and protesters marched and rallied to protest banks and budget cuts to higher education.

Earlier in the day, more than 1,000 students, campus employees, faculty and other demonstrators filled an outdoor plaza after many took part in teach-ins. The plaza

was covered with banners that read “stop the cuts” and “educate the state.”

“If the only people who can come here in the future are those who have money, it’s going to hurt everyone’s educational experience,” said Daniel Rodriguez, 28, a graduate student who was conduct-

Post office losses mount to $5.1B WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Postal Service said Tuesday it has lost $5.1 billion in the past year, pushing it closer to imminent default on a multibillion-dollar payment and to future bankruptcy as the weak economy and increased Internet use drive down mail volume.

The financial losses for the year ended Sept. 30 came despite deep cuts of more than 130,000 jobs in recent years and the closing of some smaller local post offices.

Losses will only accelerate in the coming year, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe warned, citing faster-than-expected declines in first-class mail. He implored Congress to take swift, wide-ranging action to stabilize the ailing agency’s finances as it nears a legal deadline Friday to pay $5.5 billion into the U.S. Treasury for future retiree health benefits.

Congress is expected to grant a reprieve, but that will only delay the day of reckoning for an agency struggling for relevance in an electronic age. Based on current losses, the Postal Service says it will run out of money – or come dangerously close – next September, forcing it to halt service.

“We are at a point where we require urgent action,” Donahoe said.

In the event of a shutdown, private companies such as FedEx and UPS could handle a small portion of the material the post office moves, but they do not go everywhere. No business has shown interest in delivering letters everywhere in the country for a set rate of 44 cents for a first-class letter.

For the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, the post office had income of $65.7 billion, down $1.4 billion from the previous year. Expenses totaled $70.6 billion.

The loss of $5.1 billion was less than a previous estimate of $10 billion, but only because the $5.5 billion payment – originally due Sept. 30 – was deferred until Nov. 18 with the approval of Congress.

In 2010, losses totaled $8.5 billion.

Mail volume this past year totaled 168 billion pieces, compared with 171 billion in 2010, a decline of 1.7 percent.

At the same time volume was declining, the post office was required to begin service to thousands of new addresses to accommodate population growth and new businesses.

The Postal Service, an independent agency of government that does not receive tax money for its operations, is not seeking federal funds.

Instead, postal officials want changes in the way they operate so they can

save money. They have asked Congress for permission to reduce mail delivery to five days a week, which many lawmakers oppose, and to eliminate or reduce the annual payments of about $5.5 billion to prefund retiree health benefits. The agency also wants the return of at least $6.9 billion it says was overpaid into federal retirement funds.

The service also seeks more layoffs, which are barred by current contracts with its employee unions, and the authority to negotiate with unions on a possible alternate health care system that would cost less.

Postal Service losses have been mounting over the past few years as more private mail and bill payments have been switched to the Internet, and the recession has hurt returns on advertising and other business mail.

Of particular concern has been the decline in lucrative first-class mail, largely consisting of personal letters and cards, bills, payments and similar items. First-class mail volume fell 5.8 percent in 2011, 6.6 percent in 2010, 8.6 percent in 2009 and 4.8 percent in 2008. Traditionally, this mail has produced more than half of total revenue.

On Nov. 9, baton-wielding police clashed with protesters who tried to set up tents and arrested 40 people as the university sought to uphold a campus ban on camping.

UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau launched an investigation into allegations that campus police used excessive force. He said videos of the protests were disturbing, and he plans to grant amnesty to all students who were arrested and cited for attempting to block police from removing the tents.

“The events of last Wednesday are unworthy of us as a university community,” Birgeneau wrote in a letter Monday to the campus.

Oscar Varela, 21, a fifth-year economics major who helped organize Tuesday’s demonstrations, was among the students who tried to block campus police from tearing down the campus encampment.

The Occupy Cal activists planned to vote on re-establishing a camp on campus at 5 p.m. at its general assembly meeting.

“We want to stay here to prove to the regents and state that we are part of this movement and that we want our tuition to go back to what it used to be, which essentially should be free,” Varela said.

UC Berkeley officials were determined Tuesday to avoid a repeat of last week’s violence, said campus spokesman Dan Mogulof.

“We have the largest public transit system in terms of ridership total in the state,” Kierig said. “I’m proud of how students have taken interest and have really accepted public transportation here. I would encourage everyone to comment on the master plan as soon as possible.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

First Secretary Head of the Cultural and Public Information Section Andre Durham Caciel de Castro spoke about the country’s foreign policies and priorities and its relationship with the U.S. Currently, there are approximately 8,500 Brazilian students in the U.S. earning a college education, according to Castro, and Brazil ranks low worldwide with students studying abroad in the U.S. He said he hopes events such as these can increase the number of students and fill that gap.

“There is a lot of room for Brazil to fill. The generation today is forming and has allowed Brazil to occupy a different position than it has,” Castro said.

“This kind of initiative brings the possibility of bridging the informational gap between Brazil and the U.S.” A Brazilian Cultural Reception was also held in the Mountainlair Ballrooms, where students had the opportunity to get a taste of Brazilian culture through some of the nation’s traditional music and food.

Members of the WVU Brazilian and Portuguese Student Associations facilitated exhibits that shared information on Brazilian culture, including a performance by the WVU Brazilian Ensemble in the Mountainlair food court.

Underground Sound

‘So Outta Reach, EP’

‘Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982 - 2011’

‘The 9th Inning, EP ’

Kurt Vile

Gonjasufi

Kurt Vile, the gangly, longhaired guitar prodigy whose string of Matador Records releases has been hailed as the return and saving grace of the classic FM rock sound, has recently released his latest EP, “So Outta Reach.”

The cover image of “So Outta Reach” consists of a collection of snapshots, each featuring a different party-goer posing with a passed-out Vile on a couch.

On “So Outta Reach,” Vile continues to define his unique American folk-rock sound in the vein of legendary performers like Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen.

Vile’s music is breezy, mysterious and full of space for him to explore and fill with the nuances of his guitar.

While his full-length studio albums provide a more fulfilling and well-rounded listening experience, “So Outta Reach’s” sound will satisfy Vile’s fans and give them a glimpse at his consistency.

Sumach Ecks, better known by his stage name Gonjasufi, is one of the most enigmatic and difficult-toclassify musicians creating and performing music today.

Gonjasufi, who is a rapper, producer, former yoga teacher and disc jockey, began to receive attention from the music press in 2008 when he was featured on fellow soundshaper Flying Lotus’ debut album “Los Angeles.”

This appearance earned him a deal with renowned independent label Warp, and his critically acclaimed debut , “A Sufi and a Killer,” was released in 2010.

Ecks’ most recent experimentations are captured on “The 9th Inning” EP, a four-song mini-album he recently released for free through his SoundCloud account.

Sonically, “The 9th Inning” EP is consistent with Ecks’ previous works, featuring his delicate, damaged voice quietly delivering chantlike lyrics amid a swirl of Easterninfluenced electronics, vintage samples and dubby reverb.

Hopefully, this EP is a good indication of the shape Ecks’ future fulllength work will take on. Regardless, it’s fascinating to watch such a unique and original artist develop.

R.E.M. In October, legendary Athens, Ga.,-based alternative-rock group R.E.M. announced it would be disbanding. After 29 years, 15 studio albums, 65 singles and 25 million albums sold, Michael Stipe and company will no longer play together or record new material.

To help ease the loss of R.E.M., Warner Bro. Records has issued a career-spanning retrospective album, “Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage: 1982 -2011.”

The collection features some of the group’s most popular songs as well as three new songs the group recorded after the completion of its final studio album, “Collapse into Now.” While R.E.M. will surely be missed, it will not be forgotten.

R.E.M.’s musical legend is reinforced by the enormous number of alterative and independent artists who have followed in the group’s footsteps and owe the band a musical debt.

‘Crazy Clown Time’ David Lynch David Lynch, the auteur who made a name for himself with such visual masterpieces as 1977’s “Eraserhead,” has released his debut musical project, “Crazy Clown Time,” on Play It Again Sam records.

So, what happens when the man who gave the world “Mulholland Drive” steps up to the mic?

Well, the result can only be described as “Lynchian.”

Like his films, “Crazy Clown Time” is stark, unsettling and surprisingly captivating. The tracks, which Lynch has described in interviews as sounding akin to “electro-pop,” sound more like a mixture of dense, layered sonic experiments and weird blues.

Yeah Yeah Yeah’s spastic front woman Karen O uses her distinct voice to provide the album’s secondary vocals.

While this album is not likely to be deemed a classic, it will touch a cord with die-hard Lynch devotees and anyone looking for an engaging musical adventure.

Tegan and Sara release live DVD, CD combo ‘Get Along’ Rebecca Lebherz a&e Correspondent

Canadian-based indie group Tegan and Sara released a new DVD collection, “Get Along,” which hit the shelves yesterday.

The DVD collection features footage from two tours, a film of a stripped-down studio concert, “For the Most Part,” and a live CD from a concert at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver.

“Get Along,” the live CD, is 15 tracks of easy listening released by Warner Bros.

Records.

Tegan Quin and Sara Quin’s identical voices stand out alongside the acoustic guitar and keyboards on these new arrangements.

Although all the tracks are from previous CDs, the new release offers a different take on the songs. The strippeddown versions emphasize the twins’ vocals and slow down the songs for a more deliberate conversation in the lyrics.

Many of the songs are about love and relationships.

Tegan’s and Sara’s unique voices on this live album offer a fresh sound in today’s music industry, which is often disgraced by auto-tuned vocals and lip-synching. The twins’ raw talent is evident on this performance. The live recording is clean and clear.

Tegan and Sara, Canadian singer-songwriters, released their first full length album “Under Feet Like Ours” in 1999. Since then, they have released five full length albums, an EP and a DVD - not including yesterday’s release of “Get Along.”

Their 2004 release “So Jealous” pushed the group’s success tremendously and is perhaps still their most popular album.

Tracks “I Know I Know I Know” and “I Won’t Be Left” on “Get Along” are both on “So Jealous” in their original form.

In 2006, “So Jealous” was nominated for a Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year.

The duo is usually backed by band members Ted Gowans on guitar and keyboards, Johnny

“Five” Andrews on drums and Shaun Huberts on bass guitar.

However, on “Get Along’s” live CD, Tegan and Sara alone play the guitar, keyboards and sing.

In 2010, Tegan and Sara won Western Canadian Music Award’s International Achievement Award, and in 2011 they were nominated for Indie Award’s Group or Duo of the Year.

The group has toured with artists such as Neil Young, Ben Folds, Weezer, Death Cab for Cutie, The Killers and many more.

“Get Along’s” opening track “Alligator” is a much chiller version, especially when compared to the “Alligator” remix Tegan and Sara released featuring Passion Pit. The following 14 tracks take on the same laid-back quality while still engaging the listener.

“Get Along” is a great live recording with a fresh perspective on previously released popular hits by Tegan and Sara.

Canadian indie duo Tegan and Sara have released a live DVD, CD combo.

Sandusky’s responses during interview surprised NBC’s Bob Costas NEW YORK (AP) — NBC worked feverishly to spread the word about Bob Costas’ exclusive interview with former assistant Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, who is accused of sexually assaulting boys, even as the two men were still on the phone together. Their talk, broadcast Monday on the “Rock Center” newsmagazine, was part of a remarkable evening of news interviews on broadcast TV. It competed directly with Diane Sawyer’s interview with U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords on ABC, which was ABC’s mostwatched news show since the summer.

The riveting interview with Sandusky, who is accused of sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period, was a surprise even to Costas. The veteran NBC Sports anchor was in a Manhattan studio for an interview with Sandusky’s lawyer, Joseph Amendola, when the lawyer said, “What if I can get Sandusky on the phone?” Costas said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I’m thinking, ‘I wonder from your standpoint whether

that’s the smartest thing to do,’ but at the same time, sure if you want to do it. Let’s get him on the phone,” said Costas, who declined an interview request with The Associated Press through a spokeswoman.

About 10 or 15 minutes later, the interview began.

NBC immediately faced a challenge in how to publicize an interview with three hours’ notice, particularly given that few people watch NBC’s primetime lineup. The interview was taped starting about 6:30 p.m.

EST, and while it was still happening, a producer called to a nearby studio where Brian Williams was anchoring “Nightly News” to make sure Williams promoted it before he got off the air, said Rome Hartman, “Rock Center” executive producer.

“Rock Center” staffers also began tweeting quotes from the interview almost as soon as they left Sandusky’s mouth, and the show’s blog was updated. A video clip of the interview was posted online by about 7:30 p.m., with all TV networks given permission to use it.

Ultimately, “Rock Center” was seen by 3.87 million viewers, Nielsen said, well behind the 13.4 million people who watched the well-promoted interview with Giffords. That still beat the 3.46 million people who watched “Rock Center” the previous Monday, and clips of the interview were widely disseminated and discussed on Tuesday.

With countless journalists looking to speak to Sandusky, it’s not clear why Costas was chosen. Perhaps his work in sports made him a more familiar and comfortable choice for a man who was Joe Paterno’s top defensive assistant for

many years at Penn State.

As television, the interview was minimalist: Phone interviews are rarely seen on TV because of the lack of video. NBC ran some still pictures of Sandusky, but otherwise the camera focused largely on Costas’ face.

Costas was blunt, often uncomfortably so.

“What about Mike McQueary, the grad assistant who in 2002 walked into the shower where he says in specific detail that you were forcibly raping a boy who appeared to be 10 or 11 years old?” Costas asked. “That his hands were up against the shower wall and he

itals and performing oral sex.

“There’s no way to sanitize it,” Hartman said. “If you do, you do a disservice to the viewers.”

Take advantage of SGA Speak-Up events The West Virginia University Student Government Association held a Speak-Up Tuesday on parking and transportation at WVU, which had low attendance.

SGA is supposed to be the voice of the student body, a place where students can go to have their opinions heard.

But if students don’t give their opinions, SGA cannot move forward on possible im-

provements at WVU. SGA is giving students that chance to speak out and have questions answered by University directors and officials. Students must make a larger presence at Speak-Up events.

With more students attending, more diverse opinions will be heard and will help the decision-making process be the most fair and just.

If University officials are will-

ing to attend and speak at the SGA sponsored Speak-Ups, students should want to attend, learn more about the issues and give suggestions.

Parking and transportation for WVU students is a big issue in Morgantown, and more than those related to SGA should have attended.

Issues related to possible PRT growth and Mountainlair Parking Garage fee changes were a

couple of the issues discussed Tuesday by SGA Director of Safety Dave Small and WVU Transportation and Parking Director Hugh Kierig.

These Speak-Ups are a great opportunity to help change WVU for the better.

They range in topics like parking and transportation, election reform, Greek life and residence halls.

As a WVU student, you are

sure to encounter some of these issues on a daily basis. Take advantage of the chance to speak up on these campus issues.

Get involved on campus. You can make a difference for the University, but only if you attend events such as this.

SGA is about the students, and they need input for change to occur at WVU.

Improve education; don’t eliminate it jeremiah yates opinion editor

It would be a flawed argument to claim the U.S. Department of Education is perfect. Actually, it is far from it.

Too many children pass through the system without the basic skills needed to live a successful life in America.

However, just because the Department of Education needs to be improved doesn’t mean it should be eliminated, which is the solution proposed by several presidential candidates.

Republican presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul is known for this attitude toward all government programs. In his eyes, they all waste money and produce little-to-no results.

According to Paul, he would rather have education

be privatized – or at the very least be left to the state so parents could have a choice of where their children go to school.

I respect Paul for his continued strong stance, but his solutions are just not practical.

Paul mentions the problems of inner-city schools – drugs, violence and poor test scores – but his solution to privatize schooling is a slippery slope.

It is not efficient to privatize industries that do not have revenue. Teachers are paid to educate children; they are not factory workers who produce a product that makes the school money.

For one, completely privatizing the school system would only ensure the wealthy individuals would obtain quality education.

The rest would return to one-room schools and an extremely low literacy rate.

A policy such as this would

ensure the rich would become richer and the poor become poorer, which is a problem we already have in America.

Paul admits privatizing schools is a difficult task, so he offers a more realistic solution that would leave the school systems up to the states and give individual families tax credits or vouchers to pay for the school they want their children to attend.

Leaving the school system to the state would be a little better than privatization, but the same principle applies: The wealthier states would have better schools.

And, those who are in states with lower income averages (such as W.Va.) would be left in the dark.

Every American deserves equal opportunities of education.

Simply giving families tax credits or vouchers doesn’t guarantee they will be used in the best way.

Without a national curriculum, there will be students forced to attend lower-quality schools.

Also, some of the reasons many children are illiterate is because of their home life.

Parents aren’t always the best role models, nor do all parents have their children’s futures as a top priority. Leaving a child’s future up to parents doesn’t guarantee them a prosperous future.

The Department of Education should be reevaluated, but not eliminated. When President George W. Bush passed the No Child Left Behind Act, he did so in hopes it would hold more teachers accountable for the success of students, but it did nothing to help teachers with their jobs. The only thing it did was show the country our schools need improved.

I agree teachers should be held accountable, but don’t cut the funding for the entire department – hire better

teachers and pay them more.

Paying teachers a higher salary would lead to more qualified individuals pursuing teaching degrees.

There aren’t many people who think it is a good decision to pay $25,000 for a teaching degree and then only make around $30,000 a year.

Once teachers are paid more money and held accountable, the quality of education will increase.

Another way to make public school more efficient is to convince fewer unprepared high school students to attend college.

Students are coerced into taking out thousands of dollars in student loans in order to attend college, many of whom have no idea what they want to study.

Many students enter college unprepared and drop out after the first semester.

If students were encouraged to wait until they are

ready, fewer students would default on college loans, leaving more money for those who are ready.

The government should work on making public education more efficient. More students should leave high school with the abilities to make it in the real world – unfortunately, many do not.

But, that doesn’t mean the Department of Education can’t become more efficient.

There are many other government programs that could be cut, such as the Drug Enforcement Agency, the military and probably countless others.

Cutting education is absurd. Make it better; don’t make it nonexistent.

Government programs are never going to be perfect. People will cheat the system, and sometimes the system will fail people. But, that’s life.

All American children deserve to be educated.

Pipeline decision means oil industry will move overseas daniel renfrow the daily cougar uwire

When most students hear the word Keystone, they immediately think about what they were drinking last weekend. They don’t think about the Keystone XL pipeline.

This pipeline is a $7 billion project from TransCanada Corp that would transport an estimated 830,000 barrels of crude oil from Alberta, Canada, to Houston every day.

The pipeline could produce as many as 20,000 jobs, many of them in the Houston area.

Last week, the Obama administration killed the hopes of this pipeline being built by delaying the rest of its construction until 2013.

TransCanada Corp. has already poured $2 billion into the project, but has repeat-

DA

edly come under fire because part of the pipeline will cross the Sandhills region of Nebraska, an ecologically fragile area that lies above the Ogallala Aquifer.

About 27 percent of the irrigated land in the U.S. relies on this aquifer for agricultural needs.

The fear this pipeline could pollute this aquifer is understandable, but with the amount of research TransCanada Corp has put into the project, it is highly unlikely this will happen.

On Monday, the company announced it would examine alternative routes for the contested portion of the pipeline – routes that would allow them to bypass the Ogallala Aquifer.

You would think this would be enough for opponents of the project, but it seems they are more concerned about killing U.S. jobs and ridding the U.S. of a viable source of

oil than protecting the aquifer.

“It’s our hope that (the delay) will kill the pipeline,” said Nick Berning, a spokesman for Friends of the Earth, a grassroots environmental group, to the International Business Times.

“It’s simply not true that we need this oil.”

This couldn’t be further from the truth. We do, in fact, need this oil.

In addition to doubling the amount of oil sand refined in the U.S., the pipeline could potentially lower oil prices and give the U.S. a necessary alternative to oil produced in the Middle East.

Furthermore, what is the message the Obama administration is sending to oil companies?

The application for the project was submitted to the U.S. Department of State in September of 2008.

Why now, after three years have passed, is the US gov-

ernment making the decision to halt construction of the project?

It is possible this is simply a political move by President Barack Obama. By delaying the construction of the project until after 2013, Obama has prevented the pipeline from becoming an election issue.

It will enable him to enter the 2012 election with a stable voter base.

The Obama administration is sending the message to oil companies that the U.S. is not a good country in which to do business.

Most oil companies are already moving their operations overseas. This pipeline could have been a symbol of our nation’s commitment to the oil industry – an industry that employs and provides benefits to thousands of US citizens.

Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper is already

considering focusing his nation’s oil resources in another direction: West.

Harper talked to reporters on Sunday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leader’s meeting in Hawaii about how the decision to delay construction of the pipeline will affect the future of Canada’s oil industry.

“This does underscore the necessity of Canada making sure that we are able to access Asia markets for our energy products,” Harper said.

Alberta Premier Alison Redford echoed Harper’s sentiments in the National Post on Monday.

“Reality is, Alberta and Canada will build markets, and we will go where there are markets available to us,” Redford said.

The Obama administration needs to be held accountable for its reckless decision to delay the construction of this project.

Hopefully, TransCanada Corp will be able to finish the project. But, if not, we will know where to place the blame.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year doors will open if you claim your power. Your instincts point to the correct direction.

Take stock of your professional or community status. Others look up to you. If you are single, you could meet someone when out or at work. Don’t make more of this bond than exists. Be a skeptic. If you are attached, the two of you might become more visible as you work toward a common goal. LEO pushes you into the limelight. They like your style.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You could be more enthusiastic, but it might seem like a big effort at first.

Your innate spontaneity will come out.

You have a lot to smile about. Extremes mark your plans, yet if you stop and notice, you feel like your old self by the end of the day. Tonight: Midweek break.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH If you can call in, please do. You would like to work from home if possible. Recognize where a change might be necessary in your schedule and routine. Stop and consider your options; much will come up. Tonight: Happy at home.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Keep a conversation moving. You might feel as if you cannot get past a problem, and for the moment, that opinion might be true. A friend’s enthusiasm energizes you midday. The importance of support and mutual brainstorming cannot be underestimated. Tonight: Meet a friend.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Be

more direct. Honor what you feel in a discussion. Sometimes you don’t see yourself clearly. Others’ feedback or attitudes might indicate that your perspective is distorted. You have a strong sense of direction and are in sync with realistic possibilities. Tonight: Stop and buy a token gift.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Reach out for a distant associate. You might not like all the news that heads in your direction. If you detach, you will understand more of what is going on here. A child or new friend acts in the most unpredictable manner.

Tonight: Be spontaneous.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You clearly are in your element. Even someone’s mood or seriousness washes over you like water. Unexpected information turns into a very exciting situation. Be careful about making more of an investment than you are comfortable with.

Tonight: All grins.

C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Deal directly with one other person. You might be questioning which direction is right for you. A boss or a similar authority figure doesn’t seem to have the answers, because they lie within. Let your creativity flow. Try a little less self-discipline. Tonight: Oneon-one relating.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Know when to get to the bottom of a situation. You don’t need to be right, but you do need to follow your instincts. Someone with a better perspective gives you feedback. Listen well. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Go for what you want. Sometimes you might make a situation more difficult, as you can be negative at the juncture of action. Find a way of turning around negativity and stress. Recognize that a partner does the unexpected almost always.

Tonight: Where people are.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Be willing to take a stand even though you think you know the outcome. Just make sure you aren’t setting yourself up or creating it. A little more spontaneity can add to the quality of excitement in your life. What is holding you back? Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Defer to others. You need to observe more and react less. Still, the sign associated with spontaneity cannot stop himself. You certainly listen to your inner voice. You also might need to rethink a judgment that could be impacting you. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Stay level and even with your dealings.

Communication soars if you can remain open. An offer that seams too good to be true is exactly that. Be careful with your funds, whether counting change or making a major decision. Easily, you could make a mistake. Tonight: Play it easy.

Wind Symphony evokes imagery Concert music paints pictures of clocks, shipwrecks, birds and sombreros

by Ali Sultan

A&E Correspondent

Mitchell Arnold directs the WVU Wind Symphony Tuesday night at the CAC.

KRISTEN BASHAM/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University Wind Symphony performed at the Creative Arts Center Tuesday in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre.

A consistently entertaining performance awaited the audience as they prepared for the opening piece of “Mars and Venus” from John Philip Sousa’s “Looking Upward” suite.

While the majority of the pieces throughout the concert were directed by Mitchell Arnold, Assistant Director of the “Pride of West Virginia,” the Mountaineer Marching Band Christopher Nichter took charge of Ronald Binge’s “The Red Sombrero.”

Director of the WVU Marching Band Jay Drury was featured as the conductor for Elliot Del Borgo’s “Do Not Go Gentle” piece – inspired by Dylan Thomas’ poem of the same name.

The opening performance of “Mars and Venus” started with a playful joy as the symphony was composed within the “Looking Upward” suite.

The main feature of the piece was the way the drum-

rolls would progress from quiet whispers to loud roars, and then make their way back to being quiet and gentle.

The following piece, conducted by Drury, was “Do Not Go Gentle.”

The symphony ensemble maintained a dark feel to the entire song, and it was more of a way to give the audience members an essence of the setting of the poem rather than a filling interpretation of the words.

One of the more special performances of the concert followed as the symphony recreated “Harrison’s Dream,”

by Peter Graham.

The story of British clockmaker John Harrison and his invention of the chronometer.

This piece initiated strongly and maintained a naval feel throughout, staying true to the origins of the composition and the story it tried to tell.

Arnold said the synchronicity of the percussion was lost by the end of the song to represent the clock systems used by ships back in the 16th century, and the overall performance was very reflective of mechanistic clockwork and timing. It had some very frantic, panicked moments

throughout, and there was a very high sense of uncertainty present.

“Especially with ‘Harrison’s Dream,’ I felt like there was an actual story being told, and it was quite interesting how you could just hear the story and feel it being told with the music,” said Steve White, a WVU senior business student.

Nichter took the stage for a shorter performance of Ronald Binge’s “The Red Sombrero,” which was an overall uplifting and unified performance from the symphony.

The first of the last two performances of the night was “The Promise of Living” by Aaron Copland, led by WVU Choir Director Jeffry Johnson.

The piece was performed in a fashion that gave off a genuine feel of simple human values and the American dream.

The final piece of the concert was a recreation of John Mackey’s “Kingfishers Catch Fire.” During this piece, the symphony attempted to tell the story of a rare, wildlycolored bird called the king fisher and its voyage emergening from its nest to setting flight into the sunlight. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Tutto Gelato moving from High Street to Suburban Plaza

by Elizabeth Finley A&E Correspondent

We all scream for ice cream!

Everyone’s favorite spot to get gelato in Morgantown is moving. Tutto Gelato, which was formerly located on High

Street in downtown Morgantown, will be moving to Suburban Plaza on Chestnut Ridge Road.

Tutto Gelato is a family-run business started by two cousins, Sarah Straface and Jenna Straface-Oates. It is a locally

owned and operated Italian gelateria. The stand first opened in June 2007 and has been a hit with students ever since.

“All of our gelato is made fresh on site with traditional ingredients,” according to the

Tutto Gelato website. “We offer 18 flavors that are rotated daily.”

Gelato is Italy’s version of ice cream, with three main differences from typical American ice cream.

First, Gelato contains less butterfat compared to ice cream. Premium ice cream adds air to the product which doubles the quantity. Less air is added to gelato, creating a higher quality dessert with a richer, creamier taste.

Gelato is served five degrees above zero, compared to ice cream, which is served

10 degrees below.

Tutto Gelato offers sugarfree, sorbet and dairy-based gelato to please everyone’s tastes.

To celebrate the last day at its High Street location, the owners offered a free cup or cone of gelato on Oct. 31.

“Thank you for four great years downtown. We hope you follow us to our new location in Suburban Plaza on Chestnut Ridge Road,” Tutto Gelato said via Facebook.

Once the business moves Chestnut Ridge Road, it will operate under the new name,

Tutto Gelato Cafe.

“We will be serving our signature homemade gelato, gourmet coffees, paninis, soups and much more in our new sit-down cafe. Now that we will have indoor seating we will remain open all year,” Tutto Gelato said on its website.

To keep up-to-date on its move and future opening of the new location, you can “like” Tutto Gelato on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins looks on during the Mountaineers’ loss to Kent State Tuesday.

Second-half struggles cost West Virginia in 70-60 loss to Kent State

By John Terry Managing Editor

It wasn’t the way the West Virginia men’s basketball team wanted to start off its day.

Kent State used an early second-half run to hand West Virginia its first loss in a non-conference home game since LSU in 2005.

“I told them at halftime that they were going to come out and compete,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “They made a run a year

ago in the NIT with secondhalf comebacks, and we just let them right back in the game.”

After taking a 33-28 lead into halftime, West Virginia became unglued in the second half.

Kent State used a 18-4 run – fueled by a half-court, highlight reel alley-oop by Chris Evans – to build a 55-45 lead with 10:11 remaining in the game. During that stretch, the Mountaineers shot 1-for-8 from the field and committed four turnovers.

“We should have continued what we needed to do,” said se-

nior Truck Bryant, who scored 12 points but committed six turnovers. “We started playing their game, and the game fell into their hands.”

One bright spot for the Mountaineers was the play of senior forward Deniz Kilicli, who scored 15 points and had a career-high 18 rebounds.

“That’s by far Deniz’s best game,” Huggins said. “He just didn’t make any shots. He didn’t make the shots he normally makes.”

Senior Kevin Jones scored 11

points to go along with 15 rebounds. Jones and Kilicli combined for 33 of the Mountaineers’ 46 rebounds. Kent State had 31 rebounds.

The Mountaineers shot just 36.8 percent from the field, including 2-for-12 from 3-point range. West Virginia went 16for-28 from the free-throw line.

“We just tried to attack the offensive glass as much as possible because shots weren’t going,” Jones said. “At the end of the day, we had too many turnovers.”

Sloppy play continues to haunt WVU by michael carvelli sports editor

At halftime Tuesday morning, West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins gave his team a simple message: Don’t get complacent.

The veteran head coach told his team that Kent State would continue to fight back, and if they didn’t find a way to play better in the second half, they could end up losing to the Golden Flashes.

But the Mountaineers’ sloppy play continued in the second half, as they finished the game with 17 turnovers and allowed Kent State to shoot 58 percent from the field in the final 20 minutes.

WVU’s 17 turnovers Tuesday brings its average through its first two games of the season up to 19, something Huggins just can’t seem to get his head around.

“Basketball’s been my life.

I grew up in the gym with my father,” he said. “If you come try to steal my ball, I’m going to bust you in the mouth.

You’re not going to take my ball.

“Walk into my house and try to take my ball; it isn’t going to go very well. That’s what I tried to explain to them.”

Members of the team feel the Mountaineers’ struggles through their first few games of the year can’t be attributed to a lack of talent or even to the large amount

of inexperienced players on the roster. It’s just a question of effort.

“We had a chance to win, and we just took plays off.

That’s horrible,” said junior forward Deniz Kilicli. “This is the worst thing we can do.

I understand we get confused and mess up sets, but if you’re not competing, that’s horrible.”

While he wouldn’t place the blame on any one player – especially the freshmen – Kilicli said if he sees people not trying as hard as they can in practice, he’ll do something one of the former Mountaineers did in years past.

“We talk to (the freshmen) and everything, and I’m not blaming them. It’s hard for them to grow up this fast, but they have to,” Kilicli said.

“Last year, me and Joe (Mazzulla) got in a fight because he thought I wasn’t competing enough.

“I think I’m going to go to that Joe Mazzulla style of getting people involved in practice.”

Huggins felt one of the problems toward the end of the Kent State game was the seniors were pressing too much to try to make plays.

Senior guard Truck Bryant had six turnovers to just one assist, and four of those came in the second half.

“That’s human nature to

see sloppy on PAGE 8

West Virginia committed 17 turnovers to just 11 assists.

“We are not good enough to shoot 16-for-28 from the foul line, turn it over 17 times – in particular turnovers that lead to baskets,” Huggins said.

West Virginia raced out to a 14-6 lead early and looked like it might be able to pull away from Kent State, but like the season opener against Oral Roberts, the Mountaineers couldn’t find a way to extend their lead any further.

able to stick around for much of the first half, tying the game up at 17 with 5:51 remaining.

After Kent State increased its lead to 55-45, West Virginia showed life after a Kilicli basket-and-dunk brought the Mountaineers within six, 55-49. But Kent State Randal Holt quieted the 5,616 in attendance with an answering 3-point shot.

The West Virginia men’s soccer team was simply devastated by its early exit from the Big East Conference tournament.

It had been a while since I’d seen looks similar to the ones I saw on the faces of the Mountaineers following their 2-0 loss to St. John’s in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament.

But, although they would never admit it, they may actually benefit in the long run from the loss that hurt them so badly at the time.

Sure, advancing to the semifinals to play in Red Bull Arena, home of Major League Soccer’s New York Red Bulls, would have been a fantastic experience and an excellent tournament resume builder for WVU. And, of course the opportunity to play for a Big East title could have benefitted the Mountaineers greatly.

However, sitting out the final two rounds of the tournament may be just what they need to set them up for a run in the NCAA tournament.

There are a few reasons West Virginia may be better off after sitting idle for more than a week before beginning play in the big dance.

The first is the health of the Mountaineers – or perhaps the lack thereof.

Just ask WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc, and he will testify his team quite literally limped through the end of the season and into the Big East tournament.

Multiple vital contributors were not available at the end of the season – players who will be crucial to WVU’s advancement through the NCAA tournament.

Team captain Ray Gaddis, who is regarded as one of the top MLS prospects in the country, returned to the lineup against the Red Storm after missing the previous 3 1/2 games, but was still not quite back to full health.

Sophomore starter Allan Flott missed significant time after suffering an ankle injury against Connecticut, just when it seemed the West Virginia lineup was solidifying.

Then, junior midfielder Shadow Sebele injured his knee against Providence and saw some limited action after going down, but his health was never at 100 percent.

He made an appearance at the end of the match against St. John’s but was ineffective, and the Mountaineer midfield was clearly suffering without him, losing transition battles throughout the game.

The lack of health was

WVU looks to accomplish a lot during bye week by cody schuler sports writer

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen mentioned a few things he would like to get done this week as his team approaches a bye week after defeating Cincinnati 24-21 Saturday.

“We have another off week; we’ll approach it pretty much like we did last time,” he said.

“There’s only so much you can do to prepare for one game.”

“We’ll have a good week of academics and (look at) practicing a lot of the younger kids, getting a jump start on the Pitt game, giving them a day or two off, and then coming back and getting ready to work on Saturday morning,” he said.

West Virginia redshirt senior safety Eain Smith blocked a Cincinnati field goal as time expired to lift the Mountaineers to victory and back into the Big East title hunt.

Inconsistent special teams play has plagued the Mountaineers multiple times this season – something Holgorsen thinks is a problem for most teams across the country.

“There’s only a few teams in the country that are able to dominate special teams,” he said. “Each and every game is a challenge special teams-wise.

“The fact that we’ve had a few problems with it is probably very similar to a lot of the other teams across the country.

There’s been times that we’ve been a little discouraged with it, but then there’s been times where we’ve shown a tremendous amount of improvement.”

West Virginia was unable to put any points on the board in the third quarter, leaving room for Cincinnati to mount a comeback and almost tie the game. Despite having slow third quarters multiple times this season, Holgorsen explained nothing changes after halftime.

“I don’t think that our halftimes have all of the sudden became bad. If you look throughout the course of the season and throughout the year as we come out, we have good third quarters,” he said. “I don’t think we’ve forgotten how to make adjustments at halftime.

I give Cincinnati a lot of credit – they totally dominated the line of scrimmage, which makes it hard for us to do anything offensively.”

Louisville Louisville head coach Charlie Strong had his team playing some of the most consistent football in the conference – that is, until Saturday, when the Cardinals fell at home to Pittsburgh 21-14.

“We didn’t play well as a football team,” he said. “Our focus and preparation wasn’t there.”

“Coming off a big win over West Virginia, you would have thought this team would be ready to come and play, but that’s what happens a lot of times when you’re trying to get a program rebuilt.”

Strong is of the opinion that Pittsburgh’s ability to run the ball and confuse his defense with various sets ultimately led to Louisville’s demise.

“They ran the ball, and it was all about gaps, and we didn’t defend our gaps, and they took advantage of it,” he said.

“The thing about Pitt is (they are) so multiple with different motions – which should have been no confusion for our guys. But our players, they just weren’t locked in.”

Rutgers Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano had plenty of positive things to take away from his team’s 27-12 victory over Army in Yankee Stadium. One

of those things was junior wide receiver Mohamed Sanu setting a new Big East record for the most receptions in a single season.

“There’s been some great receivers to play in this league, so I’m just thrilled for him and thrilled for our football team to be able to get a win against a team I thought played extremely well,” he said.

Rutgers blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown in the game – further establishing the notion Rutgers is among the country’s elite when it comes to special teams play.

“I think it’s just a unit-wide thing,” he said. “This year, we’ve had a bunch of guys that have done it, and I think it’s just the culture that’s been developed here – how important special teams are.”

“It’s a critical part of the game because it’s the largest exchange of real estate that occurs in any play consistently, so we spend a lot of time on it – it’s emphasized,” he said.

Pittsburgh Pittsburgh head coach Todd Graham has his team in the thick of the Big East championship race after the Panthers’ 21-14 victory over Louisville. It was the team’s first conference road of the season.

“It was a great win for our program, going to Louisville and getting our first road win.

We played against a very wellcoached football team, a really disciplined team that had won three (times) straight, and our guys played well,” he said.

“We didn’t have a penalty in the game, which is a big goal of ours – to me, (that) shows the discipline of our team, so I was really proud of that.”

Pittsburgh has an off week and will return to action on Nov. 25 at West Virginia. Graham explained some of the details involved with planning for a game after a bye week.

“We’ve got the same situation they do,” he said. “This is a game where I believe with the way you see the standings right now, this is a very, very critical game.

“Obviously, a rival game and a big-time game for both universities, you have to get prepared to play because they’re very, very talented, very good football team and to be honest with you, where we’re at right now, I kind of like having the extra time (to prepare).” charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

As devastated as the team was by the loss, the ensuing week off allowed these key players, among others, to return to full health before preparing for the NCAA tournament.

In addition to the gained health, WVU should benefit another way from its upsetting early exit from the Big East tournament.

Continued from page 7 try to do something positive, and then in the end, you’re not really doing anything positive,” Huggins said. “It’s human nature to try to make a play when, a lot of times, plays aren’t there.

“We’re just not good enough to overcome those things.”

The Mountaineers did make improvements in one big area on Tuesday.

After being outrebounded 37-24 against Oral Roberts, West Virginia won the bat-

The West Virginia swimming and diving teams did not receive the quality of competition this weekend they expect to see from Villanova and Cincinnati when they revisit them during Big East Conference championships in February.

“We didn’t see their best today, and I expect we will at Big East,” said WVU head coach Vic Riggs. “I thought both Villanova and (Cincinnati) swam very well, and we were just a little better today.”

Both the men’s and women’s teams were able to muster their first victories since the first meet of the season at the West Virginia State Games.

The women beat Cincinnati 191-104, while the men handled the Bearcats 178107. Equal success was seen against Villanova, with the women winning 166-131 and the men taking home a 190100 victory.

“I thought both teams did well,” Riggs said. “There are some thing we are not doing well in practice that are showing up in our meets, but over-

all we raced smart, with energy and hard.”

Riggs expected a win for the men’s team and stressed the importance of not suffering a letdown, especially with the Pitt Invitational coming up next weekend.

“We discussed (not overlooking this meet) in our team meeting this week,” Riggs said.

“We focused on being ready to race, what preparation we need to practice this week to make us better for the Pitt Invitational, and being gracious hosts but tough competitors this weekend.”

The men certainly provided some tough competition in the dual meet.

Freshman Daeton Davenport continued his solid start in his first year on campus. The competition did not stand a chance against Davenport in the 1650 free, finishing with a time of 16:15.14, 13 seconds better than junior Tim O’Malley, who finished in second (16:27.91).

The men’s strongest swim on Saturday was the 200 fly.

Senior Taylor Camp came in first (1:51.15), followed by junior Kyle Brandy (1:54.79) and sophomore Joseph

AbuRahma (1:59.89) rounding out the top three.

As for the women, Riggs thought the competition would be a little tougher, but as with the men, they wanted to use the meet as preparation for next weekend’s invitational. “(The women) definitely came into the meet with a better focus and energy,” Riggs said. “Same as the men in regards to using this meet as preparation for next week, but knowing we had to race well to win.”

Junior Rachel Burnett continued her stellar season, finishing in first in the 200 free (1:49.90), the 500 free (4:54.77) and the 400 individual medley (4:23.17). Sophomore Danielle Smith set a new pool record in the 100 back posting a time of 56.52.

Smith was not a one-hit wonder in the meet, claiming first in the 200 back as well with a time of 2:03.21.

Both teams will continue to train hard this week in preparations for the Pitt Invitational, which starts Friday at 10 a.m. in Pittsburgh. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

NFL

QB Matt Leinart gets his chance with Texans in need HOUSTON (AP) — Matt Leinart had a quick chat with Andre Johnson before leaving the Texans’ locker room on Tuesday to catch a flight home to Southern California.

When he returns next week, Leinart will have a first-place team to lead and Johnson should be healthy enough to help him.

Leinart will be the Texans’ starting quarterback in the first game after their bye, at Jacksonville on Nov. 27, because Matt Schaub is out indefinitely with what coach Gary Kubiak termed a “significant” right foot injury.

“I’ve just got a job to do, be efficient and get the guys and this team in the right situation,” Leinart said. “I’m extremely bummed for Matt, just because of what he’s put into this organization and to get us to this point. At the same time, it’s opportunity for myself to step up.”

It could be Leinart’s job for the rest of the season.

Kubiak said Tuesday that Schaub will undergo testing and his status will be determined next week.

Schaub’s agent, Joby Branion, did not return a phone message.

“We’re still evaluating the injury,” Kubiak said. “That’s going to go on for about a week, and then at some point next week, we’ll know whether he has a chance to come back or he doesn’t.”

Johnson, meanwhile, is expected to return for the Jacksonville game after sitting out six weeks with a right hamstring injury.

And that’s a comforting notion to Leinart, who hasn’t started a game since 2009, when he was with Arizona.

“It’s a great offense to be a part of,” Leinart said, “and now we get the best receiver in the NFL back, which is awesome to have. That’s

going to be great.”

Even without Johnson, Houston (7-3) has managed to take control of the AFC South by winning last four games. Arian Foster and Ben Tate both rank among the league’s top 10 rushers, and the Texans’ topranked defense has held its opponents to an average of 10.5 points during the streak.

Leinart had dinner with Schaub on Monday night to go over details and try to make the transition as seamless as possible. He also made Schaub a promise.

“I told Matt that I was going to make him proud and just win games for this team,” Leinart said, “because he got us to this point.”

Given how the Texans have run the ball and shut down opponents over the last month, Leinart doesn’t feel like he has to do anything miraculous.

“It’s important for me not to feel like I have everything to put on my shoulders, and just go out there and manage the game,” Leinart said. “You look at the numbers in the last couple of games, Matt (Schaub) has just gotten us into the right plays, and he’s thrown the ball here and there, and we’ve won the games the old-fashioned way.

“That’s all I’m asked to do, and I’m excited about that opportunity.”

Houston signed Leinart as a free agent just before the 2010 season, ending the former Southern Cal star’s stormy tenure in Arizona.

Leinart, a former Heisman Trophy winner, was drafted 10th overall by the Cardinals in 2006, and played in 12 games as a rookie under coach Dennis Green.

Leinart broke his collarbone in 2007, Kurt Warner took over and Leinart mostly watched from the sideline over the next 2 1/2 seasons.

Warner retired after the 2009 season, but Leinart clashed with Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt and he was released in September 2010.

He didn’t take a snap last season, but felt comfortable enough with Kubiak and quarterbacks coach Greg Knapp that he decided to rejoin to the Texans in the offseason.

Their tutoring has restored some of the confidence he lost in Arizona.

“I’ve been around the league for a while,” Leinart said. “Obviously, I haven’t had a lot of playing time, but I’ve been around this game, I’ve played with some great quarterbacks, I’ve been on some winning teams. I understand what that takes, I understand what it takes to lead a football team.”

The Texans seem to believe in him, too. Other than Leinart throwing left-handed (Schaub throws right-handed), they don’t expect the offense to miss a beat.

“If it was a guy coming in and we had never seen a lefty all year, it might be different,” said tight end Owen Daniels, the team’s leading receiver. “But we’ve been catching passes from Matt (Leinart) all year, so it shouldn’t be an issue at all.”

The Texans were taking off the rest of the week. Leinart planned to relax and enjoy time at home with his 5-year-old son Cole. And after a mostly frustrating route through the NFL, when he returns to work on Monday, he’ll be a starter again at age 28.

“I believe my teammates believe in me and my coaches believe I can get the job done, and that goes a long way in this profession,” Leinart said. “And I believe in myself to get the job done. I’m excited just to be playing ball again. It’s been a long time, and it’s just a great situation to be a part of.”

The Mountaineers had to sit idly by and watch as the tournament continued on without them.

There might not be anything more difficult or more motivating for a team with as much desire to succeed as this one than to watch the teams in its conference continue to play, knowing they too could still be

competing.

From the start of the season, West Virginia had two main team goals.

The first was to win a national title, a goal that is still possible. But before that, the Mountaineers want to win their conference.

So, to see their competitors fight for that goal while they

helplessly watched at home must have kindled a fire inside of this spirited team.

Now, the only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not this fire will be enough of a catalyst to fuel the Mountaineers through the NCAA tournament and to their ultimate goal.

tle on the glass 46-31, including career-high days for Kilicli and senior forward Kevin Jones, who combined to have more rebounds than the Golden Flashes.

“I just can’t fix everything at once. I told you I would fix the rebounding, and I put a much greater emphasis on rebounding and the basketball,” Huggins said.

“Defense, you have to know what you are doing, and rebounding, more than anything, is effort-related, and we just had to crank up the effort.”

Although the Mountaineers were able to make im-

provements in rebounding, there’s still plenty of work to be done.

And with so much to do, they know they need to make big strides to eliminate sloppy play beginning Thursday when the Mountaineers take on Alcorn State.

“We’ve got to get there quick. We don’t have time; the season already started,” Kilicli said. “We can’t be 1515 before the tournament; we can’t have that. We have to just man up and get everybody involved and have a good year.”

Guyton and Michael Porrini extended the KSU lead to 64-51 with 5:09 remaining – its largest of the game.

Kent State shot 47.5 percent from the field, including 58.1 percent in the second half.

“We’re still not where we need to be defensively,” Bryant said. “We’ll get there, but it’s hard when people don’t rotate. It’s all of us. It’s not just the freshmen. We just didn’t do it tonight.”

TOUGH TIMES IN THE TRENCHES

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Several West Virginia offensive linemen get set for a play during the game against Cincinnati Saturday Nov. 12.

Offensive line looks to improve in Brawl after disappointing performance against Cincinnati by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

Dana Holgorsen challenged the West Virginia offensive line at his weekly press conference Monday after junior quarterback Geno Smith was sacked five times by Cincinnati Saturday.

The five sacks were the most West Virginia has given up in a game this year and matched the total amount the offensive line had given up in the previous two games. The line has given up at least one sack in every game except against LSU this season.

“None of them played good enough to win,” Holgorsen said of his offensive linemen’s play against Cincinnati. “We’ll leave it at that, but they need to get better.”

The Bearcats did not bring a massive amount of pressure by blitzing. They were able to

get enough pressure on Smith without having to send extra pass rushers, which is probably why Holgorsen was discouraged.

They showed the opposite of what Syracuse brought, which was several types of blitz packages throughout the game.

Whatever the reasons, the offensive line didn’t get the job done well enough. Holgorsen wants to see improvements by the Backyard Brawl against Pittsburgh.

“We’ve got to block better, we’ve got to finish blocks better, and we’ve got to find guys to come in here that are better than the ones we’ve got,” he said.

“Have we called them out?

Yes, we’re challenging them.

We love them. We want them to get better. We’re going to work hard with them and get them healed up. We’re going to put them in a position to be

successful, but at some point they’ve got to figure out a way to get it done.”

The talent of the Cincinnati defensive front line might have had something to do with the lack of success in blocking, but the team knows its job isn’t going to get any easier against Pitt’s athletic defensive line.

“All of us are sick, the way we played (against Cincinnati),” said redshirt senior right guard Tyler Rader.

“It was awful. We can’t let that happen again. Geno (Smith) got hit way too many times,” he said. “That’s inexcusable. We’re not going to let that happen again – it can’t happen.”

Pitt has 32 sacks on the season, 14 of those against Big East teams, which is tied for third in the conference with Cincinnati and Louisville.

Rader feels the players can’t

dwell on what happened in the past. They have to move on and continue to work hard to improve and not allow any five-sack games to happen again.

The Mountaineer offensive line has kept a positive attitude, even when they haven’t played great at times. Being able to not get too down or too confident has helped them stay humble and get back to doing the basic little steps to get better as a unit.

“I don’t think we were ever on cloud nine to where we thought we were unbeatable, but we definitely see that we have a second or third chance,” Rader said. “We don’t want to let this one slip away, so we’re hungry, and we’re going to go out there and do all we can to come out with a Big East championship.” ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Miller, Smith earn DA SPORTS STAFF PICKS Sponsored by Pineview Dental Care weekly honors Drs. Adam J. Myers & William C. Clark by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

West Virginia’s defensive play didn’t go unnoticed this week as two players made the Big East weekly award list.

Redshirt senior defensive lineman Julian Miller earned Big East defensive player of the week for his performance against Cincinnati Saturday. Miller had seven tackles (second on the team), a pass breakup, and most importantly, a fumble recovery for a touchdown in the 24-21 win.

The Columbus, Ohio, native leads all active players in the Big East in career sacks (23.5) and tackles for loss (36.5).

Another redshirt senior, Eain Smith, was “Mr. Clutch” against the Bearcats, as he blocked the potential game-tying field goal with no time left to bring the Mountaineers to victory.

Smith made four tackles and a tackle for loss, as West Virginia is now a half-game behind Cincinnati in the Big East conference.

Reshirt sophomore receiver Stedman Bailey made the honor roll for the week with his seventh 100-yard game of

the season. Bailey totaled six catches for 104 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown catch.

The Miramar, Fla., native leads the team in receiving yards (1,037), touchdowns (10), yards per catch (18.2) and yards per game (103.7).

Rutgers standout wide receiver Mohamed Sanu won offensive player of the week during the Scarlet Knight’s 27-12 win over Army.

Sanu had 13 receptions for 129 yards in the game. Sanu notched 94 receptions on the season, and as a result, broke the Big East single-season record of 92 receptions, held by Pittsburgh’s Larry Fitzgerald since 2003.

He also broke the Rutgers school record 87 single-season catches, which was previously held by Kenny Britt. Sanu ranks second in the nations in receptions, with 9.4 catches per game.

West Virginia is currently on a bye week and returns to Milan Puskar Stadium Friday, Nov. 25, to take on Pittsburgh in the annual Backyard Brawl.

The game starts at 7 p.m. an will be aired on ESPN.

DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK “We’ll keep trying to get better and keep trying to figure out how to put our guys in position to win, which is ultimately the only thing that matters.”
