Wall St. protestors celebrate two months by mackenzie mays city editor

While hundreds of protestors were arrested Thursday from New York City to Los Angeles, members of the Morgantown community marched downtown chanting “We are the 99 percent” to celebrate the two-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Local activist organizations such as the American Dream Movement, Occupy Morgantown and We Are One came

together to form a circle in Courthouse Square to fight for economic equality.

Warren Hilsbos, a West Virginia University senior philosophy student, said the movement represents what many West Virginians have been fighting for for years.

“A lot of the things West Virginia has fought for throughout its entire history – the freedom to pursue our own potential, to prosper, to not be ripped off by corporations – they’re the same things people around the

Creative Arts name change reflects programs’ stature by bryan bumgardner staff writer

Academic divisions within the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts have been renamed to better define individual programs and be more consistent with peer institutions, according to Dean Paul Kreider.

After more than 40 years of being known simply as divisions within the College of Creative Arts, the academic units will now be known as the School of Music, the School of Art and Design and the School of Theatre and Dance.

Kreider proposed the idea, which was unanimously supported by University faculty and approved by the Board of Governors Nov. 4.

Kreider said he believes the change represents the stature of the programs, which are all nationally accredited and serve more than 800 students.

“This kind of nomenclature is expected by prospective students and even prospective faculty,” Kreider said. “It’s what people expect to hear when they’re looking for a place to go to school or to teach.”

Historically, WVU has had separate schools for the creative arts disciplines.

country are just now realizing,” Hilsbos said.

Twenty-one-year-old Hilsbos said it’s hard for young adults to maintain a positive outlook about the real world amidst economic uncertainty.

“Our parents didn’t have to go to college just to have a chance to make it in life. We’re taking 18 hours a semester, holding down jobs and paying it all off later, just to have a chance,” he said. “You have to put yourself in an impossible situation, and it’s difficult.”

Hilsbos said the best way for people to be a part of the movement is to vote.

“The most important form of protest is voting. That’s the one thing that the corporations can’t buy,” he said. “If the 99 percent actually vote, the 1 percent will lose every time.”

Diane Parker of Grafton, W.Va., said she was there taking a stand with others in mind – like the 24 percent of West Virginians surviving on social security benefits.

“West Virginians need jobs

just like everyone else. And, our infrastructure needs improved – there are people in this state living without running water,” she said. “It affects everyone, and everyone has to get involved to change it because politics is failing us right now.”

Parker said Thursday night’s event was assembled with the theme of “BYOP” to encourage community members to “bring their own personal reasons” for protesting.

“There are a lot of things

wrong. What’s wrong won’t fit on a bumper sticker. It’s not one sound byte,” she said. “What might be important to some – like student loans or veteran issues – is actually important to all of us, and that’s the theme of the 99 percent. It affects all of us who aren’t millionaires.”

Robert Bohigan, 47, of Fairmont, W.Va., said although protestors are being arrested around the country, for him, the two-month anniversary of

BOUNCE BACK WIN Jones leads WVU with career-high 29 points in 97-62 victory

The three schools were united as divisions of the College of Creative Arts in the 1960s, following its construction.

The School of Music and the Department of Drawing and Painting were originally established in 1897 before becoming divisions located in the Creative Arts Center.

Theatre has been popular at WVU since the 1920s, Kreider said, and became an official department in 1964.

Kreider said the name change will now allow students to feel a closer sense of identity with their career paths and more accurately capture the scope of the programs.

“We’ve come full circle,” Kreider said. “I think we’ll see more students come to the University, and we’ll attract a broader scope of people along the way.”

Maintaining individual names allows for the schools to participate in national academic organizations such as the National Association of Schools of Theatre.

The title change is effective immediately, with division chairs now serving as directors of their respective schools. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Organization aims to help needy during winter by mike atkinson staff writer

While some members of the Morgantown community may not know about Christian Help Inc., for some it means staying warm during the winter months.

Christian Help Inc. – located at 219 Walnut Street – is a nondenominational, non-profit United Way agency that’s been providing help in Monongalia, Preston and Marion counties since 1975, said Melissa Burch, volunteer coordinator.

Burch said Christian Help is unique in that it provides a variety of services to a variety of people and prides itself on not discriminating against those who are in need.

“It’s a very loving environment where we take people as they are,” Burch said. “We were built on the idea of doing God’s work.”

In addition to a free food pantry and an Emergency Financial Assistance Office, the organization also boasts a Career Closet, which provides job seekers with professional clothing for potential interviews.

“We are very unique. Everything in the store is free, and

you don’t find things like that every day,” she said.

Burch has volunteered at Christian Help for the past three months and is also an active member of AmeriCorps.

Though Burch enjoys being involved in helping others, her time at Christian Help benefits her, too, she said.

“I love my job. I like the fastpaced environment – it keeps me on my toes, and every day is different,” she said.

Burch said West Virginia University students make up a significant portion of volunteers, and the organization depends on the young adults to spread awareness about the group and keep it going.

“We depend on student volunteers – that’s how we get work done. They come in here every day. It would be a completely different place without them,” she said. “A lot of our volunteers are students who have made mistakes and need community service, but we don’t care what you’ve done.

We’ll take you as you are.”

Donations can be given to the front desk at Christian Help Monday through Friday. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Semester at Sea offers unique study abroad option

by Joshua Clark staff writer

Students can lose themselves in an ocean of unconventional learning opportunities with Semester at Sea, a study abroad program that explores uncharted waters while aboard a ship.

The program, established in 1963, is currently credited by the University of Virginia. The voyage consists of four-month fall and spring semesters and four courses.

The program also offers a two-month summer course as well as a separate voyage during May. “Our faculty come from all

over the country and world,” said ship instructor Robert Smith. “They teach religion and political science, music and geography; everything you can think of will be available for you to sign up for. There’s a real sense of community among your fellow shipmates, and everyone makes friends and even family with someone on the boat.”

Smith’s Fall 2010 voyage traveled from Nova Scotia to destinations in India, Japan, Spain and other locations. Smith said the program usually spends four or five days visiting 10 to 12 unique ports.

When visiting a destination students are free to pursue their

own studies, but 20 percent of grades will be based on notetaking work completed while students are not on the ship.

An average of 600 students share space with 30-35 faculty and 60 other adults. Speakers such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Fidel Castro, and Nelson Mandela have boarded the ships in the past to visit and lecture students.

Smith said there are a few limitations to students during their time with the program, including limited Internet access while on board.

“Internet access is going to be very limited,” Smith said.

“You get about two hours of free internet and then you start pay-

ing. That will impact some of your studies onboard, but there are some research sites you can reach without going onto the actual internet. I can’t assign things to students that will force them to go on the internet. The classes are roughly the same as you might take at WVU, but without the lab courses.”

Smith said students who have trouble with claustrophobia or who need silence to study may have a challenge on the trip, as well.

“One thing that’s difficult to find on this voyage is quiet space,” Smith said. “Depending on your roommate, you might

Stocks sink; Spain becomes latest worry in Europe NEW YORK (AP) — A spike in borrowing costs for the Spanish government renewed worries about Europe’s debt crisis and pushed stocks lower for the second day in a row.

A stalemate in Congress over cutting the budget deficit also pulled the market down Thursday. Technology stocks sank after NetApp and Applied Materials predicted weaker earnings.

In Spain, an auction of 10year government bonds left the country paying interest rates of nearly 7 percent.

That’s the highest rate since 1997 and a level that econo-

mists see as unsustainable.

Greece and Ireland received rescue loans from the European Union after their bond yields jumped above the same level.

Concerns about Europe’s debt crisis overshadowed better economic reports in the U.S. The number of people seeking unemployment benefits last week fell to the lowest level in seven months, a sign layoffs are easing.

“The economic data in the U.S. has been improving,” said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial in Westport, Conn. “If it weren’t

for Europe, I think equity markets would be doing much better right now.”

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 134.86 points, or 1.1 percent, to close at 11,770.73. The index wavered most of the morning, then turned sharply lower shortly after noon. It fell as many as 229 points at 2:30 p.m.

Spain has much more debt than either Greece or Ireland, which would make it difficult for other countries to rescue.

Like Italy, whose main borrowing rate also spiked above 7 percent in the last week, the country is burdened with high

debts and slow growth.

The Spanish bond auction came a day after Fitch Ratings warned that major U.S. banks could be “greatly affected” if Europe’s debt crisis continues to spread beyond the financially troubled Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Italy and Spain.

Another looming concern for investors is that a Congressional supercomittee will flounder in its attempt to find $1.2 trillion in budget cuts before a Nov. 23 deadline. Republicans and Democrats traded barbs over whether the other side was negotiating in good

faith.

“The worry is they’re literally going to get nothing done,” said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors. “From my perspective as a financial markets professional, I’m absolutely convinced that I could fix this in 10 minutes, but I get the impression we’re watching a slowmotion train wreck.”

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 20.75, or 1.7 percent, to 1,216.16. The index fell below its average over the past 100 days. That’s a bearish signal because many traders wait until indexes fall below

such technical levels before deciding to unload their positions.

Technology stocks fell more than the rest of the market. The Nasdaq slid 51.62, or 2 percent, to 2,587.99. All three major indexes are now down more than 3 percent for the week.

NetApp Inc. plunged 12.3 percent, the most in the S&P 500 index, after the data storage company forecast earnings below Wall Street’s estimates.

Applied Materials Inc. also said its earnings for the current quarter would be weaker than analysts’ forecasts. The stock fell 7.5 percent.

Idaho man charged with trying to Jammed door on flight sparks scare assassinate President Obama

Law enforcement officers photograph a window at the White House in Washington on Wednesday, as seen from the South Lawn. A bullet hit an exterior window of the White House and was stopped by ballistic glass, the Secret Service said. An additional round of ammunition was found on the White House exterior.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — An Idaho man accused of firing an assault rifle at the White House was charged Thursday with attempting to assassinate President Barack Obama or his staff, and prosecutors say he called Obama “the devil” and said he needed to be killed.

Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, made his first court appearance before a federal magistrate in Pittsburgh on Thursday, one day after he was arrested at a western Pennsylvania hotel.

According to a court document released after the hearing, authorities recovered nine spent shell casings from Ortega’s car, which was abandoned near the White House. A person who knows him subsequently told investigators that he had become increasingly agitated with the federal government and was convinced it was conspiring against him,

the document said. Others told investigators that Ortega had said Obama was “the anti-Christ” and the “devil.”

Ortega also reportedly said he “needed to kill” the president.

If convicted, Ortega faces up to life in prison.

Ortega’s public defender, Christopher Brown, declined comment after the hearing.

He will be taken back from a federal court in Pittsburgh to face the charges in Washington, D.C., and will remain in federal custody at least until a magistrate in Washington can determine if he should remain jailed until his trial on the charge.

Ortega sat quietly as the hearing began, his hands free but his feet shackled. The 21-year-old said only, “Yes, ma’am” when he was asked if he understood that he would be going back to Washington to face the charge.

Soon after, U.S. Park Police found an abandoned vehicle, with an assault rifle inside it, near a bridge leading out of the nation’s capital to Virginia. The car led investigators to Ortega.

The FBI took custody of Ortega’s car Thursday afternoon to continue the process of reviewing evidence, said Lindsay Godwin, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Washington field office.

NEW YORK (AP) — A pilot accidentally locked himself in the bathroom aboard a flight to New York City and touched off a brief hijacking terror scare that underscored the fears about air travel that still linger more than a decade after 9/11.

The captain of Delta Flight 6132 got stuck in the lavatory Wednesday during the flight from Asheville, N.C., to La Guardia Airport.

When a passenger with an accent tried to alert the co-pilot in the cockpit, the co-pilot became alarmed and notified air traffic controllers, according to a recording of the radio exchange from the website LiveATC.net.

“The captain has disappeared in the back, and I have someone with a thick foreign accent trying to access the cockpit right now, and I’ve got to deal with this situation,” the co-pilot said.

Indianapolis-based Chautauqua Airlines, which operates the flight for Delta, said

the pilot had decided to take a bathroom break about 30 minutes from LaGuardia after controllers told the crew to expect to be in a holding pattern.

The sole flight attendant on board had entered the cockpit when the captain left because security rules require two crew members in the cockpit at all times. The Embraer 145 commuter jet was carrying 14 passengers.

The captain gave the passenger a password to get into the cockpit, but the co-pilot and flight attendant were still doubtful, the recording shows.

“Someone with a thick foreign accent is giving me a password to access the cockpit, and I’m not about to let him in,” the co-pilot said.

As the minutes ticked by, a controller told the co-pilot to consider declaring an emergency, which would give the plane priority over all others.

“OK, Chautauqua, you guys ought to declare an emergency and just get on the ground,” the

controller said.

The captain eventually freed himself from the lavatory and came on the radio to tell controllers there was no danger.

“The captain – myself – went back to the lavatory and the door latched,” he said, explaining that he “had to fight my way out of it with my body to get the door open.”

“There is no issue, no threat,” the captain said.

Chautauqua said the crew followed security rules correctly and that the flight was never in jeopardy. Both pilots on airliners are qualified to land the plane by themselves.

“The first officer did the right thing in securing the flight deck when he was not able to personally confirm the status of the aircraft’s captain,” the airline said in a written statement.

“No one was ever in danger, and everyone, including the good Samaritan who tried to help the captain, as well as the crew, are to be commended for their actions,” it said.

Dozens hurt as storms pound the Southeast ROCK HILL, S.C. (AP) — A strong storm system that produced several possible tornadoes hit the Southeast on Wednesday, damaging dozens of homes and buildings.

At least four people were killed and dozens more were injured.

Suspected tornadoes were reported in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina, and thousands of people were without power as trees and power lines were downed.

In South Carolina, three people were killed and five injured when a likley tornado swept through a rural community near Rock Hill, about 20 miles south of Charlotte, N.C. In north Georgia, an unidentified person was killed when a tree fell on a sport utility vehicle In eastern Alabama, a suspected twister splintered trees and demolished mobile homes at a pair of housing parks near the Auburn University campus. Less than seven months ago, a massive tornado roared past the campus of archrival University of Alabama in the western part of the state.

It was the worst bout of weather for the state since about 250 people were killed during the tornado outbreak in April. Both campuses were spared major damage this time.

In Rock Hill, Simone Moore told The Herald newspaper that she was sitting on her back porch when she saw the tornado touch down and then quickly move back up. She said after the storm passed, she noticed a nearby trailer had vanished.

“Everything’s gone,” Moore said. “Even the cows in the pasture.”

As weather service experts fanned out to assess damage, Auburn graduate student Staci DeGeer didn’t have any doubts about what sent a pair of trees crashing through her

“It’s tornado damage. I’m from Kansas; I know tornado damage,” said DeGeer, who wasn’t home at the time. “It’s kind of hit or miss. There will be two or three (trailers) that are bad and then a few that are OK.” Trees fell on homes in southeastern Mississippi, where Jones County emergency director Don McKinnon said some people were briefly trapped. Mobile homes were tossed off their foundations.

In all, 15 people were hurt in the area.

As the weather moved east, tornado warnings and watches were issued in Georgia and South Carolina.

At least 10 people were injured when a possible tornado ripped through an area south of Lexington in North Carolina, destroying one building, damaging several others and

leaving thousands without electricity.

Forecasters said a cold front stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Northeast was to blame. Temperatures dropped in some areas from the low 70s to the 50s as the front passed, and winds gusted to near 30 mph.

Damage was reported in several parts of Alabama. In Sumter County, in the westcentral part of the state, an elderly woman was in her home as a tree crashed into it. She had to be taken to the hospital.

In Tuscaloosa, home of the University of Alabama, the day was a harsh reminder of the threat of violent weather for communities still recovering from the killer tornadoes.

“It makes you sit up on the edge of the chair a little more,” said Tom Perryman, who works for the school system in Tuscaloosa County, which was hard hit in April.

Some 130 miles to the east, the ailing oaks at Toomer’s Corner on the Auburn campus, were OK. An Alabama fan is suspected of poisoning the famous trees in February.

Nearby, DeGeer’s dog Jack rode out the storm in her mobile home without injury, but the trailer itself didn’t fare as well.

“It looks like I redecorated with a wilderness theme.

There are trees through my house,” she said.

In southern Louisiana, a suspected tornado hit a neighborhood in Houma, splintering a home. Crews helped clean up storm debris near a school and the Red Cross sent workers to help with damage assessments.

The Hackensaw Boys to play at 123 Pleasant Street by hunter HomisteK A&E Writer

Virginia-based Americana/ bluegrass favorites The Hackensaw Boys are set to take the stage at 123 Pleasant Street tonight. Opening for The Hackensaw Boys will be The Trainjumpers.

The Hackensaw Boys are a seven-piece Americana band firmly rooted in traditional string band sounds.

Despite this influence, they strive to maintain an original sound and accomplish it through contributions from

each band member.

“We play original material provided by different members of the band,” said Shawn Galbraith, banjo player for The Hackensaw Boys. “There are some traditional elements to our sound for sure, but we always try to maintain some uniqueness.”

Gailbraith said this bandwide effort is made apparent in each of the its toe-tapping tracks.

Each member contributes vocals, which results in incredibly complex and beautiful harmonies, and each of

the seven different instruments fall perfectly into place with no single one overshadowing another.

Making their sound even more diverse, The Hackensaw Boys are not afraid to slow things down and break away from the traditional upbeat tempo of Americana music.

“We’ve got some fast songs, some slow songs,” Galbraith said. “It’s just all about writing music we like and having a good time for us.”

Make no mistake, though, if you were looking forward to a fast-paced jam band to groove

to, The Hackensaw Boys have you covered there, as well.

“We’re a great band to tap your toe to, do some dancin’,” Galbraith said.

A band that has played the 123 Pleasant Street stage multiple times in the past, The Hackensaw Boys promise to bring the fire and energy crowds thirst. Tonight’s performance will showcase this passion in all of its musical glory.

Opening up for The Hackensaw Boys tonight is Ohio Valley rock and ska band The Trainjumpers.

Boasting a sound that is part classic rock, part reggae and part ska, The Trainjumpers are truly unique in today’s music scene.

The band’s core sound brings to mind classic acts like Dire Straits, but The Trainjumpers put a spin on this by introducing reggaefeeling time signatures and grooves.

On top of this, the band utilizes saxophone work throughout every song, which adds yet another dimension to an already distinctive sound.

The Trainjumpers, like The Hackensaw Boys, are veterans of the 123 Pleasant Street stage and will bring their exclusive sound with them tonight in what promises to be an energy-filled show.

For those looking for a great end-of-the-week release and wanting to kick off Thanksgiving break with a bang, 123 Pleasant Street is the place to be.

The show starts at 10 p.m. and there will be a $15 cover charge. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

The holidays are a time for food, family and fashion. Yes, fashion.

We’ve all heard the expression by elder family members: Every day “isn’t a fashion show.”

It’s time to relinquish that stereotype and prepare each day as if you were on your way down a runway.

Even on unforgiving feasting holidays, there is a way to maintain some style.

We may recommend trading your zipper or button pants for one with an elastic waistband and a patterned shirt instead of a white shirt – all to accommodate possible bloating and cranberry sauce stains.

“I know I’m going to eat a lot, so I wear leggings to avoid showing it,” said Kirsten Matson, junior elementary education student.

Matson said she is fully prepared to balance big meals with cute outfits.

Leggings are a great piece to dress up or down with, depending on the situation.

Even on heavy eating days like Thanksgiving, leggings will help to camouflage a bulkier bulge and maintain a stylish look.

Although a lot of girls

think tight and revealing is the way to grab a guy’s attention, looking good while wearing things that are family-approved is even more attention-grabbing.

You can still look good – if not better – leaving something to the imagination. A sweater dress with tights, or even a sweater and pair of heels, will dress up an outfit for the holidays while maintaining a classy look.

“Just because you’re stuck inside with your family all day doesn’t mean you should rule out the possibility of encountering some cute Christmas caroler under the mistletoe,” said Claire Brinkman,

a senior communications student.

Brinkman said she refuses to settle for anything less than extraordinary.

As we change from little kids in fancy dresses and suits to young adults, our style must adapt, as well. Not to say we should be sporting formal dresses or sweatpants, but we must find the happy medium in between.

When Grandma is getting ready to snap the next family photo, keep in mind this is a holiday season. Choose a sweater and leggings instead of sweatpants and a hoodie. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Have a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving Finally, Thanksgiving break is almost here.

After all the late-night cramming, 10-page papers and exams, West Virginia University students will have the next week to spend with family and get the rest and relaxation that is definitely deserved.

But before leaving town, students should make sure they are well prepared. Not only should you make sure you have everything you need for the

week-long vacation, there are several other issues that should be addressed as well.

For one, make sure if your residency is left vacant all week, windows and doors are locked.

Since many students will be leaving town, empty apartments will be left vulnerable to theft.

If you are leaving your car in Morgantown and riding with someone else, make sure your car is locked as well, and is

parked in a safe place. Paying for a towing fee after your car spent a week in impound will be expensive.

Students who have pets probably won’t be able to take them along, so ensure that arrangements are made.

Just because school is out doesn’t mean you don’t have to take care of previous commitments. Call a friend who is staying in town, or if possible, take them with you. Just leaving

food for the week is not enough.

Don’t ignore your school work completely. This is a short vacation, not the end of the semester. Even if you don’t have an exam or a project due immediately when you return, bring your books, and do some studying on your own – it is always best to stay ahead of the game.

For those who are traveling alone, make sure you become familiar with your route. Don’t

rely solely on GPS. Technology malfunctions frequently, and if it does, you should be prepared. Just in case of an emergency, have an atlas handy.

Most of all, enjoy the week.

Finals are right around the corner, along with the stress that comes with it. But don’t let those thoughts consume your vacations – have fun and be safe. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

College loan debt is a tough reality for graduates garrett hunter correspondent

“I am currently in college getting my bachelor’s degree because I grew up being told that going through college was the way to get a good job. I am terrified that I will still work for $10/ hr when I have $35K in debt.”

This and similar complaints can be found all over the “We Are the 99 Percent” blog. It was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, which decries the wealth of the top “1 percent” of Americans supposedly earned at the expense of the other 99 percent.

Many of the blog posters’ stories (some of which really are heartbreaking) revolve around their inability to afford their student loans due to their lackluster post-graduation employment.

Their stories should be a wakeup call for all high school and undergraduate students: In today’s economy, a college degree alone is no guarantee of gainful employment or lifelong success.

For many years now, college students throughout the United States have suffered the effects of an inflating education bubble.

Just like the person quoted above, young people have continually been coaxed into taking out unreasonably large loans to pay for college educations they were told would ensure them lucrative employment upon graduation.

That was then.

Unfortunately for many graduates, the economic sectors that largely drove the college education craze – government and finance – are undergoing serious downsizing since the 2008 economic downturn.

Between 1990 and 2010, the number of workers in federal, state and local governments ballooned from 6.4 million to 38.3 million. That trend now seems to be reversing, with state and local governments shedding a combined 291,000 jobs between May 2010 and May 2011.

The story is similar in the financial sector, with HSBC Holdings plc – a global banking and finance company – announcing in August it plans to cut 30,000 jobs worldwide over the next

Goldman Sachs and Bank of American will likewise be eliminating a combined 2,500 jobs in the near future.

At the same time, American universities are turning out more degrees than ever. The percentage of Americans age 25 and over with at least a bachelor’s degree has steadily increased since 1950, and while this is on its face a boon to society, that increase comes at least partially from the inflation of the aforementioned education bubble.

Whatever its merits may be, the government’s backing of student loans prevents lenders from bearing the cost of defaults.

Instead, the cost is absorbed by the taxpayers. This encourages lenders to make relatively risky

loans they would not otherwise make, leading to an artificially high rate of college enrollment due to easy lending practices (the same principle that is partially to blame for the 2008 housing crisis).

The result: more than $900 billion dollars of total student loan debt, only 40 percent of which is being actively repaid.

More importantly, these easy lending practices – combined with society’s now-defunct claim that a college degree is the surest path to financial security – is producing more college graduates than the post-meltdown American economy requires.

What’s more, President Obama’s recently announced student loan relief plan will only continue this trend of incentive

perversion.

We college students must therefore prepare to enter a job market in which there are (at least for now) precious few traditional opportunities that will satisfactorily compensate us for the time and treasure we’ll have invested in our degrees. To do this, we must keep a few things in mind.

Freshmen and sophomores, keep those GPAs up. It’s debatable whether a high GPA has a direct impact on one’s job prospects or starting salary after graduation, but it absolutely has an indirect impact.

Students with high GPAs are considered much more competitive when they apply for highly sought-after (and possibly paid) internships and fellowships, and

these can go a long way in developing the contacts and experience you’ll need to begin your chosen career.

These students also have a much better chance of getting into prestigious graduate schools and, more importantly in light of this county’s student debt situation, fellowships that will help pay their cost of attendance.

Juniors and seniors, weigh your post-undergraduate options carefully – especially when it comes to cost. If your sights are set on graduate school, look to get the most bang for your buck.

A law degree from Vanderbilt sure would look good on your wall, but are you sure it’s worth the $206,000 price tag?

Whatever your field of study,

don’t be afraid to consider less prestigious schools where you have a better chance of receiving scholarships or landing a paid fellowship or assistantship (on the other hand, if you can get a full ride to Vanderbilt, you don’t need my advice). Above all, don’t expect to make six figures straight out of college.

While a degree by and large increases a graduate’s earning potential, that potential is often fully realized only after years of hard work and experience.

Keep this in mind as you debate whether to take out hefty student loans.

All of life’s most important decisions deserve careful consideration and a detailed cost-benefit analysis. College and graduate school are no different.

wear pajamas to class or miniskirts in February, that’s your business.

What I care about are the natural resources of the planet.

Those invaluable sources of our livelihoods were given to all generations, but we are tearing through them at an incredible pace.

Meanwhile we are building landfills that can be seen from space, creating a huge gyre of plastic garbage in the North Pacific, and pumping billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere every year.

The more goods we consume, the more of the earth we consume.

What an ugly word, consume. Old fruits are consumed by mold and bacteria. Tuberculosis was called consumption because the disease ate people away from the inside.

We can – and should – do everything we can to increase efficiency and use renewable nonpolluting energy, but as long as we keep consuming as we do, we are depleting the principle

all future generations have to live off.

The least we can do, I mean really, the absolute minimum courtesy we can give to future generations, is to make things that last and use them as long as we can.

People used to wear the same clothes for decades, day-in and day-out. Old Carhartt jeans, even the Levis of yesteryear, last for decades if well cared for.

It’s not just clothes. People used to buy appliances for life and then hand them down.

Now we buy them for a couple of years. Last time I was in a Walmart, there was a bundled toaster, coffee maker, and iron, all for $15. Imagine the quality.

All of this begs the question, why, as technology provides more durable materials at lower prices, are we descending into ever-crappier products?

Is it fashion as conspicuous consumption? I’m so rich I can buy new stuff every season, and I’m going to demonstrate that by wearing clothes that couldn’t make it through the year?

Or maybe it’s laziness. “I’ll buy the cheap stuff because then I don’t have to worry about taking care of it. I can just replace it when it breaks or I move or I want a shinier one.”

I think both of those are part of the answer, but there are other, more insidious forces involved.

The shorter the life cycle of a product the more often we buy it, which means greater profits for the manufacturer and retailer.

If you keep your average pair of jeans for just two years instead of 20, that’s 10 times the sales of jeans.

How could an industry get us to throw away our hard-earned goods every year?

One answer, of course, is marketing.

Research in fields like behavioral economics and consumer psychology have shown we are far more malleable in our shopping and consumption habits than we might like to think we are.

I suppose selling us on

threadbare clothes was probably trivially easy.

Hesitant though I am to vilify the already vilified, stores like Walmart are also to blame.

Not only does Walmart sell low-quality goods and pay its employees so little that they could hardly afford to shop anywhere else, they also pressure manufacturers to decrease product quality.

According to the CEO of Snapper Lawn Mowers, “continuing to supply Walmart meant gradual but irresistible corrosion of the very qualities for which Snapper was known.”

Another CEO, this one of an “instantly recognizable consumer products company” who couldn’t reveal his identity for fear of retaliation by Walmart, said in the book titled “The Walmart Effect,” by Charles Fishman, “they have a tremendous impact on innovation, on the development of new products. You know they are enormously damaging in that arena.”

Why would Walmart stifle innovation and product quality?

A recent study titled, “Dominant Retailers’ Incentives for Product Quality” suggests multiple reasons. One is that big stores like Walmart push suppliers to reduce prices, and their massive size gives that push power.

Another reason is their lack of focus on customer service, compared to more specialized stores, means they gain from product homogenization and diminished customer focus on quality.

Finally, in classic feed-forward loop, as Walmart gains market share, manufacturers and distributors become more dependent on them, which leverages Walmart’s bargaining position, potentiating the effects of their push to reduce quality.

So, what to do?

Skip Walmart and the cheap clothes outlets at the mall. Look for quality, consider used goods and take care of them.

By doing so, they’ll take care of you, and you’ll be taking care of our planet.

Buying quality, lasting goods will put less strain on the Earth michael levy columnist

I recently sat down on the PRT next to a girl whose jeans were ripped from her knee all the way up her thigh. Since then, I’ve noticed other people wearing pants like that.

It seems there is a trend for products that are made to be at end of their life cycle at the point of purchase, from preripped jeans to super-thin T-shirts to liner-less jackets, crappy clothes are everywhere.

From a value perspective, it’s insane. Yeah, that Forever 21 dress is really cheap, but that’s my point – it’s really cheap and not going to last!

OK, so people buy stuff that’s not going last. Perhaps it doesn’t seem like a topic worthy of a column. Indeed, I don’t really care what you wear. Lots of fashion styles seem ridiculous to me, but if you want to

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY You often feel a conflict between your emotional needs and your image. Don’t look at these two principles as opposites; look for their similarities. Center yourself in that space.

Though Scorpio is always sexy, you are even more so this year. You attract suitors left and right. If you are attached, your significant other might really enjoy your warmer style. The two of you could bond even more firmly if you give up being critical. VIRGO is always your friend.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You cannot sit on your creativity, as it will energize you no matter what you do or where you are. Still, you do have a certain amount of mandatory errands and meetings. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You might already be in weekend mode.

Make sure you can afford to take a personal day or work from home. Are you exhausted? You also are gaining sudden insights, which can be a drain. Tonight: Let the good times begin.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Your ability to communicate emerges as a necessity. You might wonder why you are doing certain things. Be a little more selfdisciplined. Don’t regret a statement or action. Slow down a little. Tap into your feelings more, too. Tonight: Break from your routine.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You could be a bit possessive or over-

whelmed. Learn to ask for help more often. Advice from a key person at a distance only confuses your thinking more.

Go for a walk or get into some other physical activity to clear your head. Tonight: Let it all happen.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Use the daylight hours to the max, as you feel more empowered. When facing vagueness, ask questions. You might be surprised by what could open up. Be goaloriented. In the afternoon, take a hard look at your finances. Can you cover all your bases? Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to break the bank.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH A lowpressure attitude works. You might need to close your door to complete some important work or just to think out a new project. Avoid all assumptions. By late afternoon, you are more than ready for anything. It is the weekend! Tonight: Make hay while you can!

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Your ability to visualize different situations and at the same time make them real to others comes through. People flock around you to understand what you are seeing.

By midafternoon, you might opt to close your door and/or screen your calls. Tonight: Take care of yourself first.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You’ll not only push a project to completion, you also will enjoy its success. As a result, your interactions with others bring you to a new level of comfort and security.

Don’t push a co-worker or a friend. You won’t like the results. Tonight: Where the

fun is, of course.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH You might feel as if there is no purpose in pushing so hard to get more of your thinking incorporated into a situation. If you give up the pushing, delight surrounds what actually might occur. Your creativity comes out when you least expect it. Tonight: You could be like the Energizer Bunny -- you go on and on.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You relate well to individuals. Don’t push so hard to accomplish your goals. A partner gives you feedback. There are some potential gems of wisdom here. Reach out to an expert or a trusted, respect friend for feedback. Tonight: See life differently.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Others come forward and share what is going on. You get a lot of different invitations. Network, as you note this appears to be a very social moment. You hear surprising news that might take a few minutes to internalize. Tonight: Allow another person to treat.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Clear your desk and decide to accomplish as much as you can. Somehow you run into an obstacle or two, mainly because someone isn’t all that clear. Opportunities stem from a conversation. Be willing to jump on them. Schedule a meeting for late in the day. Tonight: Let it all happen.

Michael McDonald to perform at CAC

By Rebecca Lebherz A&E Writer

Five-time Grammy Award winner Michael McDonald will be performing at West Virginia University tonight at 7:30 at the Lyell B. Clay Concer Theatre at the Creative Arts Center.

The blue eyed soul legend is most commonly known for his time with the Doobie Brothers during the ‘70s.

“He’s someone that you grew up with, and now you have the opportunity to see him at this point in his career,” said Kristie Gale, marketing and advertising manager for WVU Arts & Entertainment.

McDonald’s musical career reaches across four decades, and he continues to make new albums.

Gale said he has definitely spanned the test of time.

“He is not one of those oneand-done kind of artists,” Gale said.

McDonald broke into the spotlight as a backup singer for the jazz-rock band Steely Dan, and he continued to sing and play keyboard for them throughout the ‘70s. It was his

time as a member of the Doobie Brothers that really pushed his success as a singer and songwriter.

The Doobie Brothers released many of their popular hits with the help of McDonald, including “Takin it to the Streets,” “Real Love” and “What a Fool Believes, which became a number-one single in the U.S. and won a Grammy for Song of the Year.

Gale said this generation of student is familiar with McDonald because their parents were likely listening to his music while he was a part of the Doobie Brothers.

When the group split in the early ‘80s, McDonald’s solo career took off. He has collaborated with artists such as Michael Jackson, Kenny Loggings, Bonnie Raitt and Van Halen.

Many of his songs have topped Billboard charts. His duet with James Ingram “Yah Mo B There” won a Grammy in 1985 for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

In 2003, his album “Motown” won two Grammy nominations.

Gale said often times you have to travel to Pittsburgh or

further to hear artists of McDonald’s level. But tonight the legend himself will be in Morgantown for the first time ever.

The concert is also a part of McDonald’s limited tour.

Wednesday night the singer performed in Huntington, W.Va. This is the sixth concert in this season’s University Art Series, which averages about 20 concerts per season. In its 36th year, the series continues to grow and evolve. Gale said.

“Anytime we are able to bring someone of his caliber and talent to Morgantown, that’s exciting,” Gale said.

Tickets are still available and range from $47-$67. Tonight’s concert at the CAC will be an evening with Michael McDonald; there will be no opening acts. McDonald will take the stage in the Lyell B. Clay Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Student tickets are discounted at $27. They can be purchased at the Mountainlair or Creative Arts Center Box offices, online at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling 304-293SHOW and 800-745-3000. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Local dance company to perform Christmas classic ‘The Nutcracker’ to march into the MET Saturday

By Christina Gutierrez A&E Writer

The Morgantown Dance Studio will be performing “The Nutcracker” at the Metropolitan Theatre this Saturday and Sunday.

The company performs two shows per year as well as several community appearances.

The Morgantown Dance Studio is a self-sustaining, non-profit community arts organization that showcases dancers ages five and up.

This will mark the company’s 10th production of “The Nutcraker” under production manager, Liz Finklea, and director, Desiree Witt.

Finklea and Witt have nothing but high expectations for the success of the show.

“The Met is a wonderful place to perform. Its restoration is just beautiful,” Finklea said.

Although they have had great experiences with these performances, this year will be the largest cast they have ever had.

The 80-person cast will include students from dance studios all over the area and community members. Soloists Christine Schwaner and Alexandre Silva, from Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre are playing the roles of the sugarplum fairy and cavalier, respectively.

In addition, the ballet will feature some dancers from WVU including graduate history student, Katherine Logothetis and assistant professor and husband to director Desiree Witt, Brian Plitnick. Their daughter, Laurel, will also perform in the show.

Witt and Finklea are relieved for the help they receive during the production. The studio relies mostly on volunteers and parents for all aspects of the production.

Irina Romdimtseva, whose

daughter will be acting in this week’s performance, is just one of the many parents who have taken an active role in the studio.

“All of the parents and students are very active and do a lot of work for the studio – like working on costumes and sets,” she said.

Because of the importance of community for the studio, they are careful not to turn anyone away.

There is something for everyone. The party scene, for example, features mostly parents and

community members.

“It’s going to be a great performance and a lot of fun. Our goal is to give the experience of art to everyone,” Rodmitseva said.

The performances will be on Saturday evening at 7:30 and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available online or at the Metropolitan Theatre Box Office. The rate is $18 for adults and $12 for students and seniors. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

You deserve a factual look at . . .

Why Should the U.S. Fund the Palestinian Authority?

The Palestinians spurn U.S. diplomatic requests and snub U.S. financial aid. Should we be sending them nearly a billion dollars a year?

Despite all efforts by President Obama, the Palestinian Authority (P.A.) has rejected U.S. diplomatic efforts and a negotiated peace with Israel by requesting a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood at the United Nations. The P.A. also announced a merger with the Islamic terror group Hamas.

By allying with the terrorist group Hamas, abandoning peace talks with Israel, and taking its case for statehood unilaterally to the United Nations, it’s clear that the Palestinian Authority has no respect for the interests of the United States in the Middle East. In this time of financial crisis and soaring budget deficits, isn’t time for Congress to stop spending nearly a billion American tax dollars annually supporting the rogue Palestinian Authority?

Senior Jones’ career night leads West Virginia to 97-62 over Alcorn State by john terry managing editor

The West Virginia men’s basketball team used a careerbest performance from senior Kevin Jones to carry it to a 9762 victory over Alcorn State Thursday night.

Jones scored a career-high 29 points while grabbing 13 rebounds, including 10 offensive boards.

It’s just the second time since Feb. 3, 1998, a West Virginia player had at least 10 offensive boards. The last time Kevin Jones had was 11 against Louisville on March 5, 2011.

At the 16:02 mark of the first half Jones pulled down

his third offensive rebound, the 321st of his career, making him the all-time leader in program history. His previous career high in points was against Louisville last year when he scored 25 points, while he recorded 18 rebounds against Kent St., Tuesday.

“I just wanted to attack the offensive glass and defensive glass hard,” Jones said. “I’m happy for the record, but I’m more happy for the win.”

Jones scored a layup at 13:34 mark of the first half to catapult the Mountaineers on a 16-2 run to jump out to a 2916 lead.

Freshman Paul Williamson hit his first of two three point-

ers during the run, for the first bucket in his career. He finished with seven points and two assists.

“Paul (Williamson) does what he’s supposed to do,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “Paul can make shots, and he’s going to play hard.”

West Virginia continued to lay it on the Braves, going on a 10-0 run in the final 1:24 of the first half to take a 44-28 lead into the locker room after 20 minutes.

The Mountaineers extended their lead after halftime, going on a 16-4 run capped off by a pair of Truck Bryant baskets and a Deniz Kilicli hook

shot. Bryant would finish with 18 points, while recording four assists to zero turnovers. A game ago, Bryant had one assist to just one turnover.

“I was so mad and frustrated (last game). That was the worst I’ve played in my career,” Bryant said. “It just feels good to win a game by a lot. It feels like we’re starting to get in on the right track.”

The Mountaineers shot 48.6 percent in the game, including 55.9 percent in the second half. Both Kilicli and freshman Jabarie Hinds had 10 points.

Freshman Gary Browne had eight points and 12 rebounds.

West Virginia outrebounded the Braves 57 to 35.

“It wasn’t just me and Deniz rebounding out there tonight, it was a big team effort,” Jones said. “We need this throughout the season. We just need to keep getting better.”

Redshirt freshman Kevin Noreen quietly put together his best game of his Mountaineer career with a 12-point and seven-rebound performance Chris Brand and Marquiz Baker, who both scored 10 points, led Alcorn State.

The Braves shot just 35.5 percent from the field, including making just six of their 22 attempts from three-point range. john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

Final Backyard Brawl?

A rivalry is competition in its highest form.

Two teams putting it all on the line for a common purpose: victory.

One of the fiercest and most storied rivalries in college football has been the Backyard Brawl – the annual football game between West Virginia and Pittsburgh.

The two schools, separated by just 75 miles, have been competing over the span of three centuries.

The teams hate each other, the fans despise the other, and it has been that way since 1895.

Recently, both Pittsburgh and West Virginia have announced their departure from the Big East Conference.

The Mountaineers will compete in the Big 12 Conference in the future, while the Panthers will take their talents to the Atlantic Coastal Conference.

This is great news for the future of both athletic programs.

But, this news isn’t as generous for the future of the Backyard Brawl.

West Virginia and Pittsburgh will now have eight conference games to play, and already have filled their non-conference slates in the coming seasons.

So, next Friday’s matchup at Milan Puskar Stadium between the two arch rivals may be the last meeting in quite some time.

West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck and head coach Dana Holgorsen have both said they would like to see the rivalry continue in the future.

But, it is unrealistic to think it is possible over the next few seasons.

Pittsburgh leads the alltime series 61-39-3, but the Mountaineers are 16-7 against the Panthers over the last 23 seasons.

Team effort defeats Xavier

Mountaineers gear up for Bonnies

Junior defender Eric Schoenle scores on a header during the Mountaineers first round win over Xavier Thursday night.

by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team played together in the first round of the NCAA Tournament against the Xavier Musketeers.

The back-to-back Atlantic 10 champions were not an easy opponent in the first round. But, the Mountaineers were aggressive throughout the game. Defender Eric Schoenle headed a goal in overtime to give the Mountaineers a 2-1 victory and a trip to College Park, Md. WVU never lifted its foot off of the gas pedal in the game.

Forward Jay Williams took advantage of an opportunity on a misclearance by Xavier and struck the ball past goalkeeper Justin Marshall.

Schoenle came up big for West Virginia, as he’s done in the past, converting a header for his fifth career game-winning goal.

“It’s a top-two goal of my career, along with Connecticut,” Schoenle said. “Especially with advancing us to the next round.

Hopefully, I can do it against Maryland this Sunday.”

Even with crucial goals for Williams and Schoenle, the game was a team effort for the Mountaineers.

“Collectively, it was pretty good,” said coach Marlon LeBlanc. “We’re able to play brilliant at times with our combination plays. We were pretty difficult to break down. ” West Virginia earned its 11th win of the season due to constant aggressiveness.

The Mountaineers could have stopped hustling after midfielder Gino Depaoli tied the game 1-1, but they were poised and resilient throughout.

WVU goalkeeper Pat Eavenson made some crucial saves for West Virginia. WVU was constantly pushing, and it showed with a shot advantage of 18 to nine, including eight on goal to the Musketeers five.

Eavenson recorded four enormous saves, including a save immediately into overtime.

“We had a lapse when Xavier scored,” Williams said. “But we knew we had time left, so it

wasn’t over.”

If West Virginia can play aggressive for all of 90 minutes, they have a solid chance in upsetting fifth-seed Maryland in College Park Nov. 20.

“Maryland’s very much like ourselves – very athletic, up-tempo,” LeBlanc said. “They are one of the best teams in America right now. They play in front of 4,000 to 6,000 people regularly. There will be no fear in our team. We’ve had West Virginia teams win at Maryland before.”

The Mountaineers will ride into College Park off of a total team performance against Xavier. With the win, WVU snapped the Musketeers fivegame win streak. West Virginia will look for an upset with another quality performance from the whole squad.

With a total team aggressive performance West Virginia could be a threat in its quest for a national championship. One thing is definite: The Mountaineers live to fight another day. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Sophomore guard Taylor Palmer plays defense during the Mountaineers season opener against Youngstown State, Nov. 11.

by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

West Virginia wants to get off to a better start tonight than it did last year against St. Bonaventure.

The Mountaineers trailed by five points at halftime, until they bounced back in the second half and won by nine points.

The Bonnies return all five starters from last season, including 6-foot-1 senior and Atlantic-10 second teamer from a season ago, Megan Van Tatenhove. So, the inexperienced Mountaineers will not be taking their opponent lightly. “(St. Bonaventure) will be a good test for us,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey.

“They play a lot of five-out stuff. They’re center brings it up against pressure, which is going to put our big girls out on the perimeter again.”

West Virginia looks to rely on its big girls on the inside, starting with junior centers Asya Bussie and Ayana Dunning. After the first game of the season against Youngstown State, Dunning leads the team with 15 rebounds and Bussie is second with eight.

But most of the scoring came from sophomore shooting guard Taylor Palmer, who scored 33 points in the Mountaineers opener.

Palmer is more than happy for teams to emphasize their defenses on the inside players.

For her, the more open she is, the more chances she’ll have at taking shots and helping the team.

“For a shooter that’s what we love,” Palmer said. “All teams are going to key in on Asya (Bussie) and Yaya (Dunning) because we have big size. That just opens it up for me and Christal (Caldwell) and Brooke (Hampton) and

the shooters.

“We have to be prepared and ready and when we get it just make our shots and take our time.”

West Virginia is still looking for an identity, especially on defense. Communicating with each other on defense is key for improving quickly and is something Carey really stresses to his young team.

St. Bonaventure’s experience could overpower West Virginia’s young talent if the Mountaineers don’t talk and get in the right spots in half court defensive sets.

Van Tatenhove is averaging 17 points per game in two games, while senior guard Jessica Jenkins is at 14 per game.

Jenkins also leads the Bonnies, going 7-for-12 from threepoint range.

“We just have to keep getting better, no matter if we’re

No. 9 Mountaineers to run in NCAA championships by ethan rohrbaugh sports writer

The West Virginia cross country team was on the bus ride home from last weekend’s NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional when it learned it qualified for the National championship race.

After finishing third at the Regional meet in Princess Anne, Md., the No. 9 Mountaineers had to wait to find out if they did enough to make Nationals as an at-large team.

With just five schools left to be announced for the 31team NCAA championship field, the Mountaineers finally heard their name called.

“We all cheered and had a joyous singing of ‘Country Roads’ on the bus,” said junior Kaitlyn Gillespie.

The selection marks the fourth time WVU has qualified for the National title race in Terre Haute, Ind., in the last

five seasons under head coach Sean Cleary.

The coach said he isn’t looking for any miracle performances at Monday’s race, just hard-nosed, consistent West Virginia running.

“I really believe that if we run the same race we ran at both the Big East and NCAA Regionals that we will fall inside the top 10,” Cleary said.

The program has produced eight all-Americans during Cleary’s tenure, with Gillespie’s all-American status of one year ago being the squad’s most recent.

“Coach has been saying all year that we’re a podium team,” Gillespie said of the much-experienced Mountaineers.

Six of the seven runners who will line up at Nationals for WVU have already had at least one NCAA championship go-around, and none of those ladies are quick to dis-

count the advantage that experience will give them on race day.

“Just being familiar with the course helps,” Gillespie said.

Cleary said the National championship course gets tough late because it starts to “gently roll, and the effort and pressure of the race can catch up with you.”

The interesting thing about the championship race is, according to Cleary, that it is very difficult to run well with the size and intensity of the field.

“You are surrounded by runners the entire way,” said the coach of the 255-runner field. “Many times there is not the opportunity to pass and move through the field due to the sheer size of the race.”

Cleary said getting yourself into that position sometimes requires you to get into oxygen debt earlier than anyone would like to in a race, and

WVU heads to Navy this weekend sports writer

The West Virginia wrestling team will have the opportunity to send a large portion of the roster out onto the mat at the Navy Classic Saturday in Annapolis, Md. The Mountaineers will send 19 grapplers to face off against opponents from Bucknell, Citadel, Franklin & Marshall, Gardner-Webb, George Mason and host Navy at the annual event.

“We need the experience of a bunch of matches,” said head coach Craig Turnbull. “At this time of year, we’re accruing that experience and bringing it back into the room, and trying to build on what they’re doing well and trying to make some corrections.”

West Virginia’s five ranked wrestlers will be in action, in-

cluding redshirt senior Matt Ryan, who sat out last weekend’s tournament due to what Turnbull called a strained ligament in his elbow.

The Eighty Four, Pa., native moved up a spot to No. 21 in the wrestlingreport.com rankings following the idle weekend and retained his No. 17 spot in the intermat.com rankings.

Junior Shane Young and redshirt sophomore Nathan Pennesi moved up in both polls after going for first place finishes at the Washington & Jefferson tournament last Saturday in Washington, Pa. Young is up two spots to No. 18 on WrestlingReport and entered the InterMat rankings for the first time this season at No. 20.

Pennesi jumped three spots on WrestlingReport and one spot InterMat to take over No.

19 in both polls.

Neither grappler has lost a match this season.

Redshirt senior Brandon Williamson fell three spots to No. 15 on WrestlingReport and is no longer ranked on InterMat, following a third place showing last weekend in Washington.

Turnbull said the coaching staff isn’t so much worried with the earlier-season results of Williamson as they are with how he readjusts to competition after a year-long knee injury.

Redshirt junior Colin Johnston, also returning from a season-long hiatus, dropped three spots on WrestlingReport to No. 16. The Eighty Four, Pa., native remained No. 14 on InterMat. ethan.rohbaugh@mail.wvu.edu

that it’s handling this pressure that overwhelms many.

“We are very fortunate to have a team with a great deal of experience,” Cleary said of his team’s handling of the championship pressure.

West Virginia will aim for a top-10 showing at the National championships, which is something Cleary’s Mountaineers have been able to do in their three previous NCAA title trips.

Gillespie said the team’s race results are dependent on everyone who toes the line for West Virginia in Terre Haute.

“Everyone has to play their part,” Gillespie said. “If they do that, we should have a pretty solid race.”

“We are such a team,” Cleary said. “If we run to the best of our abilities, we will return to Morgantown very happy.”

Syracuse has placed longtime assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine on administrative leave ‘in light of the new allegations and the Syracuse City Police investigation.’

Police puts Fine on administrative leave SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Just two weeks after Penn State was rocked by a child sex-abuse scandal, ESPN reported Thursday that police were investigating an assistant basketball coach at Syracuse University on allegations of child molestation.

Shortly afterward, Syracuse placed longtime assistant coach Bernie Fine on administrative leave “in light of the new allegations and the Syracuse City Police investigation,” the school said.

“We are in the very early stages of an investigation,” Sgt. Tom Connellan told The Post-Standard in Syracuse.

Connellan told the newspaper that police received information on the case Thursday but would not say who provided the information. The university said it had conducted its own investigation and couldn’t find witnesses to corroborate the allegations.

Phone calls by The Associated Press to the police were not immediately returned.

ESPN reported that Fine is accused of molesting a former Syracuse ball boy, Bobby Davis, who is now 39. Davis told “Outside the Lines” that the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four.

ESPN said it first investigated

the accusations in 2003, but decided not to run the story because there was no independent evidence to corroborate the allegations. Recently, a second man contacted ESPN, alleging that Fine also molested him. That person said he decided to come forward after seeing the Penn State coverage.

The Post-Standard reported it also investigated the accuser’s allegations in 2003, but decided against publishing the story because no one else came forward to confirm the accuser’s account.

Fine is in his 35th season as an assistant to coach Jim Boeheim.

In a statement by Kevin Quinn, the school’s senior vice president for public affairs, Syracuse said it would cooperate with the police investigation.

He said the school was contacted in 2005 by “an adult male who told us that he had reported to the Syracuse City Police that he had been subjected to inappropriate contact by an associate men’s basketball coach.”

He said the alleged activity took place in the 1980s and 1990s.

“We were informed by the complainant that the Syracuse City Police had declined to pursue the matter because the statute of limitations had expired,” Quinn said.

Quinn said the school con-

ducted its own four-month investigation that included interviews with people the accuser said would support his allegations, but that all those people “denied any knowledge of wrongful conduct” and that the coach also denied the allegations.

Boeheim released a statement saying: “This matter was fully investigated by the university in 2005 and it was determined that the allegations were unfounded.

“I have known Bernie Fine for more than 40 years. I have never seen or witnessed anything to suggest that he would been involved in any of the activities alleged. Had I seen or suspected anything, I would have taken action. Bernie has my full support.”

In a telephone interview afterward with the AP, Boeheim said: “This kid came forward and there was no one to corroborate his story. Not one. Not one. ... This just is not true.”

The accusations arrived on the heels of the Penn State case in which longtime former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is accused of sexually abused eight boys over 15 years.

The case cost Joe Paterno his job, and former school administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are charged with not properly alerting authorities to suspected abuse and perjury.

West Virginia has a much different team than it did last season. But, St. Bonaventure has everyone returning, so the 11th-year coach knows his team has to come out strong and keep swinging the ball from inside to the outside to stay in control of the game.

“We got a tough game,”

Carey said of the Bonnies.

“If you remember in the NIT, they are the ones that beat us.

Last year we were pretty damn good, we went down there and we were losing at halftime. We were lucky to sneak that game out.

Friday, Nov. 25, 2011, very well could be the final day to witness a game between West Virginia and Pittsburgh.

With the Mountaineers back in the thick of the Big East title race, the home team will need a win.

A thirsty and improved Pittsburgh team is also in a great position to make a run at the conference crown.

WALK-OFF WIN

patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum

The West Virginia soccer team celebrates its first-round win over Xavier Thursday night.

West Virginia defeats Xavier 2-1 in the first round of the NCAA tournament by alex sims sports writer

It was almost a heartbreaker for the few Mountaineer fans who braved the cold, snowy conditions Thursday night.

However, the West Virginia men’s soccer team advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament with a 2-1 overtime victory over No. 25 Xavier.

Flurries and strong winds turned to blizzard-like conditions early in the first half, which slowed the pace of play.

After the skies cleared, the Mountaineers settled in and

were able to strike first.

Just seconds after entering the game from the bench, sophomore Jay Williams put the Mountaineers up late in the first half with his first career goal.

Junior Uwem Etuk had his cross deflected to the feet of Williams, and the Raleigh, N.C., native beat a diving Xavier goalkeeper Justin Marshall with 6:45 remaining in the first half.

“I don’t know when the last time I scored was, so it felt pretty good,” Williams said with a laugh. “It didn’t really hit me until after I jogged back and looked at the scoreboard.”

Marshall made six saves of West Virginia’s eight shots on goal in the match.

West Virginia junior goalkeeper Pat Eavenson had four saves in the game, which team captain Eric Schoenle called his best performance of the year.

Senior forward Nick Claudio had multiple close scoring chances in the game, including a shot that was foot-saved

by Marshall in the second half and a diving save in the first half just minutes before the goal by Williams.

“We put a lot of pressure on them,” said West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

“If not for a couple of great saves from their goalkeeper, that game could have opened up to three or four to nil.

They withstood a lot, but kept grinding back, so I tip my hat to them.”

The Mountaineers controlled play for much of the first half, limiting Xavier to only one shot attempt. The action was more back in forth in the second half, as Xavier slowly built its attack until breaking through in the final six minutes.

Play started up the right side by Nick Hagglund and Luke Spencer, but was crossed to the left to Gino DePaoli.

The Highland, Texas, native skipped the ball to the left of a diving Eavenson into the back corner.

The first overtime period almost ended as soon as it began. Less than 30 seconds in, Eavenson had to make another excellent save.

Then, with less than two minutes left in the first overtime period, Williams was tripped from behind while pushing the ball past two Musketeer defenders down the right side.

Sophomore Allan Flott took the ensuing free kick and lofted a perfect cross to Schoenle, who headed the

golden goal off the right post and just across the line, sending WVU to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

“I was scared for a second,” Schoenle said. “I thought it was going to come out off the post. I didn’t even see it go in, I just heard everyone screaming. Then it was pure joy after that.”

The win earned West Virginia another shot at No. 5 seed Maryland. The Terrapins defeated the Mountaineers in their second game of the season Aug. 29 in front of 4,629 fans in College Park, Md. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia senior Kevin Jones entered Thursday night’s game just three offensive rebounds shy of passing Chris Brooks for the school record.

Four minutes into the game the record was broken.

When reflecting on the record and all of the times he’s cleaned up the offensive glass throughout his career, there are a few people he’s thankful for.

“I couldn’t have done it without my teammates missing all those shots,” Jones said.

“I’ve just got to thank them.”

Rebounding is something that has been a key in Jones’ game since his high school days in Mount Vernon, N.Y. It’s something he’s always prided himself in and a big part of what has made him the player he is today.

That skill and the legacy he will leave when he departs from West Virginia is going to be something his coach feels should put him in the company of some of the all-time greats in program history.

“He has had a Hall of Fame career,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “He has worked so hard. He is such a wonderful guy, and you can’t imagine how good of a guy he is and how good he is to deal with every day.”

Following the Mountaineers’ loss to Kent State earlier in the week, Jones and fellow senior Truck Bryant knew it was up to them to step up and be leaders if this young West Virginia team was going to make the improvements they need to have a successful year.

“I’m still being myself, and I’m being a leader within myself and my attitude,” Jones said. “We just want to go out and lead these young guys because we know they’re not going to get everything right away.

“This was a big win for us as far as confidence and everything, but this is game three of 30 games. We’ve just got to get ready for Morehead State on Tuesday.”

One of the big things Huggins talked about was getting a lot of the players to buy in to put forth more effort, and a lot of that starts with rebounding.

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Thursday, the Mountaineers grabbed 57 rebounds, including 12 from freshman point guard Gary Browne, seven from Kevin Noreen and Pat Forsythe and six from Jabarie Hinds.

Improvements like that can be made just from watching a guy like Jones.

“The thing about K.J. (Jones) is he’s gotten a lot more vocal (as a leader). But then they see what he does and how he works,” Huggins said. “When he talks, they listen.”

Although he enjoys breaking records and having statistical success individually, Jones isn’t too consumed with those things. Records are something he can look back on when his career is finished.

Other things are more important right now.

“It’s definitely something you’ve got to look back on and enjoy it. Just being the one that’s up there and being the best at something is just a real big honor,” Jones said. “I’m happy for the record and everything, but I’m more happy for the win.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu
