City Council discusses friendship city by lydia nuzum

associate city editor

Members of the Morgantown City Council discussed partnering as a “friendship city” with Xuzhou, a city in eastern China, during their regular meeting Tuesday.

Bill Byrne, sixth ward councilor, will travel with members of the West Virginia Economic Development Council to Xuzhou Monday, Oct. 24, and remain there until Nov. 4.

“The City of Morgantown, through the friendship city partnering, will promote goodwill and hospitality to government, business and educational institutions,” Byrne said. “Friendship city partnerships may be the first steps toward designation as a sister city.”

Xuzhou has a population of 7 million people and is home to China University of Mining and Technology. Byrne said the emphasis placed on coal

mining in the region is one of the forces that connect Morgantown with Xuzhou.

“Last summer, the party leaders of Xuzhou came to Morgantown on a trip involving mining industry and mineral industries,” Byrne said. “I had an opportunity to have a meeting with them. As a result, they expressed an interest in becoming a sister city with Morgantown.”

The results of the visit to Xuzhou will determine how the

city will act in regard to the friendship city designation, Byrne said.

“I think it is a great opportunity to develop additional international connections that we can take advantage of in our community,” Byrne said.

“There are many people from China in our community; I think it will serve us well to pursue this.”

In 2009, Guanajuato, Mexico, entered into a sister-city agreement with Morgantown.

City Council proclamations included the National Red Ribbon Campaign, an initiative by the National Family Partnership to promote drugfree communities. The week of Oct. 23 has been declared Red Ribbon Week by the city council. The initiative was forwarded by the Morgantown Elks Club.

“The City of Morgantown encourages citizens, businesses, public and private agencies, media, and religious

and educational institutions to wear and display red ribbons and participate in education activities not only during the week, but all year long, making a visible statement that we are strongly committed to a drug-free city,” said Mayor Jim Manilla.

There will be a meeting Monday for members of the Morgantown community to discuss planned improvements to the

T-shirts created by students hang in the Mountainlair as a part of The Clothesline Project.

MATT Sunday/the daily athenaeum

At first glance, the T-shirts look like art projects hung on display – a gallery of individual expression.

A closer look reveals the truth: the art on these shirts tell stories of pain, abuse and fear.

The Clothesline Project is an initiative that spreads awareness to combat domestic violence by giving survivors a chance to design a shirt exposing the violence they’ve experienced.

West Virginia University, the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance and the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center hosted the event Tuesday in the

Mountainlair to allow domestic abuse survivors to project their emotions.

“People don’t typically talk about domestic violence. It’s putting that message out there for everyone to see,” said Cassandra Rice, prevention education specialist and volunteer coordinator for the RDVIC. “What’s unique about the Clothesline Project is that it showcases stories and art primarily by survivors.”

Many shirts are laced with fearful words, while others are joyful, reveling in liberation from an abusive spouse.

Several simply ask, “Why?” According to a survey by the National Institute of Justice, one in every four women

Love Your Body Day encourages acceptance COMPLETE GAME COVERAGE IN SPORTS by kelsey montgomery correspondent

The West Virginia University Gender Equality Movement is asking students to celebrate Love Your Body Day today as part of the University’s Diversity Week.

Love Your Body Day is an event sponsored by the National Organization for Women that protests the media’s portrayal of the “perfect image” and asks women of all ages to accept their unique traits.

The GEM – a feminist activist organization that seeks equality among genders, races, classes and sexualities – will host a panel discussion at 7 p.m. in the Shenandoah Room of the Mountainlair.

The panel will include women from all over the world who will discuss the pressure to perfect their bodies and address the differences and similarities between American women’s is-

sues in comparison to different countries.

“I want the audience to see that, even though things have gotten better for gender equality over the past few decades, there is still a long way to go,” said Matthew Burns, vice president of communications for GEM. “This is a great way for viewers to get involved and take action to improve.”

Thursday at 7:30 p.m. the GEM will follow up Love Your Body Day with a free showing of the movie “Easy A”.

The movie will be shown in Room 458 of the Business & Economics Building.

“This is a chance for everyone to take a break from most of the heavy stuff that comes with Diversity Week,” Burns said. “‘Easy A’ is an easygoing film that still touches on the subject of acceptance.”

GEM’s motives will not end

One planet, one people, one chance:

Environmental conservation groups promote sustainability by jessica lear staff writer

West Virginia University Environmental Conservation Awareness Now hosted a “One Planet, One People, One Chance” event Tuesday in the Mountainlair to promote sustainable living.

Stephanie Utt, operations coordinator for WVU Facilities Management (which also organized the event), said it’s important for students to realize recycling efforts and diversity go hand-in-hand.

“It’s important to remember that even though we all have cultural differences, we are united as the human race,” Utt said. “We only have one planet, and it is impera-

tive that we work together to make this world a better place for ourselves as well as future generations.”

Utt thinks sustainability should be a top priority for people of every culture.

“Communities across the world may take care of their environment differently, but we all share the responsibility for a brighter future,” she said.

The informational booth was part of WECAN’s Ecolympics, a campus-wide building challenge to recycle and conserve the most energy, which is taking place during the month of October.

At the booth, students were given the opportunity to take a sustainability pledge.

The pledge asked students a variety of questions including what kinds of transportation they use, how much water they consume and how sustainable they are in the lab.

“We live in a world with limited resources, so it’s significantly important to educate students about small lifestyle changes they can create now and continue throughout the rest of their adulthood,” Utt said.

Utt said by making small

changes, like using a reusable water bottle or turning off the lights when you leave a room, students can make a difference.

“These may seem like small things, but the Ecolympics challenge has demonstrated energy reductions of 10 percent to 20 percent in past years,” she said.

At the end of the pledge, students were given a certificate, which suggested ways they could lead a more sustainable life, such as taking quicker showers.

WELLWVU hosts ‘Sex Jeopardy’ to promote sexual health SEX JEOPARDY INFORMATION

by mike atkinson staff writer

WHEN: Today, 5 p.m.

WHERE: Shenandoah Room in the Let’s talk about sex.

WELLWVU: The Students’ Mountainlair

Center of Health will host “Sex Jeopardy” today in the Shenandoah Room of the Mountainlair to raise awareness about sexual health and protecting against sexually transmitted infections as well

as promoting health between sexual partners.

“It’s a fun, easy way to promote sexual health and responsibility and make it more interactive and inter-

esting,” said Judy Murnan, health education specialist for WELLWVU. “We want to bring awareness to the prevention of STIs and offer safer sex options.”

One in two sexually active college-aged people have an STI by the age of 25, and more than 65 million Americans are affected by incurable STIs, Murnan said.

The game show will feature categories related to sexual health such as pregnancy prevention methods, Murnan said.

Kimberly Greenfield, sexual health graduate assistant for WELLWVU, said the event is part of the University’s Diversity Week and allows the Center to reach out to a wider variety of students.

“Diversity Week gives an opportunity to reach people you wouldn’t normally reach.

We’re excited to see the different cultures that will be on campus this week,” Greenfield said.

“There are certain STIs more prevalent in certain areas. Some cultures are more sexually educated than others. We’d like to broaden the

spectrum and raise awareness by increasing knowledge of STIs and preventative measures.”

Students who attend the event will receive loveWell bands, which can be used to enter in a drawing for a free iPad. The event starts at 5 p.m. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Roundtable discusses issues with US NEWS Occupy Wall Street: $435,000 could different diversity groups on campus by bryan bumgardner & Mackenzie mays da staff

West Virginia University students, educators and administrators came together at the Diversity Week Roundtable Tuesday evening to discuss issues regarding diverse groups of students on campus.

The discussion focused on four groups: students of color, veterans, international students, and gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students.

WVU Provost Michele Wheatly said in order to further the community’s efforts, more individuals need to do their part.

“What we really need in order to move ahead productively is to have the input of many more voices and lived experiences, because that’s really what makes the campus

a more welcoming environment,” Wheatly said.

Grace Atebe, assistant director of the Office of International Students and Scholars, stressed the importance of making international students feel welcome.

“When international students come to the United States, it can be challenging to find places or people where they feel welcome,” Atebe said.

Will Turner, a graduate assistant for the Undergraduate Advising Services Center who helped form the event, said the Roundtable was the first forum of its kind to address the University’s diversity efforts.

“This is a way of reaching out to populations we feel are very important contributing factors to the diversified environment here on campus,” Turner said. “The whole goal behind

this was to involve a variety of stakeholders from around campus, from the student level all the way up to the administration level. This way, you get a cross-sectional perspective.”

Turner said the event offered students a one-of-a-kind chance to engage with influential members of the campus community issues they care about.

“Students are often disengaged from important initiatives. This is a way for our students to see that our leaders are engaged and very committed,” he said. “We really hope that students take what they’ve learned with them to their day-to-day activities.”

WVU’s Diversity Week will continue through Saturday.

Rep. touts transportation revamp plan MABSCOTT, W.Va. (AP) — Approving a federal transportation spending plan without deep funding cuts is critical to fixing the nation’s roads and bridges and getting the economy moving again, U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall said Tuesday.

Rahall was joined by state union officials at a news conference near a bridge in Mabscott to support of the multiyear surface transportation bill. Rahall is the top Democrat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

The Raleigh County bridge is among more than 2,500 deficient bridges in West Virginia and nearly 150,000 across the nation that Rahall says are “crippling our nation’s eco-

df

nomic competitiveness.”

Federal funding for current projects has been extended until March, but a proposed Republican-led bill would cut current spending by more than one-third over six years.

If that version is passed, Rahall said it would mark the first time since the interstate system was created in the 1950s there would be a cut in federal transportation spending.

“It’s time for Congress to put behind the partisan bickering, the political finger pointing, the games that are being played in our nation’s capital today,” Rahall said.

Last March, a report released by the Washington, D.C.based coalition Transportation for America found that 957,

or nearly 17 percent, of 5,734 bridges studied in West Virginia were structurally deficient. The overwhelming majority of them are owned by the state.

The study, which analyzed federal highway and bridge data, ranked West Virginia as eighth worst among the states in terms of bridge conditions.

“We need more federal funding to rebuild our infrastructure, to put people back to work here in West Virginia,” said Gary Zuckett, executive director of the West Virginia Citizen Action Group. “We need to do it now. Sooner, rather than later, because the economy needs it, we need the jobs and we need safe roads and bridges.”

Under New Management Now DEALING Private Parties 407-592-7032

help NY protesters endure winter NEW YORK (AP) — After a month of bashing banks and other corporations, the Occupy Wall Street movement has had to become a money manager itself.

It has $435,000 – most of it from online credit-card donations, but tens of thousands donated in person at the Manhattan park that’s become the epicenter of the global “antigreed” protests. Handling the money, and figuring out what to do with it, could prove to be one of the biggest challenges for a movement united by anger more than by strategy, and devoted to building consensus among activists with wideranging goals.

The protesters have been spending about $1,500 a day on food, and also just covered a $2,000 laundry bill for sleeping bags and jackets and sweaters.

They’ve spent about $20,000 on equipment such as laptops and cameras, and costs associated with streaming video of the protest on the Internet.

And they don’t just have money donations. They have a mountain of donated goods, from blankets to cans of food to swim goggles to protect them from pepper spray – some stored in a cavernous space on Broadway a block from Wall Street.

Though the money is a pittance compared to the profits of many corporations that the activists blame for the nation’s financial woes, it’s growing.

Roughly $8,000 is now coming in every day just from the

lock boxes set up to take donations at Zuccotti Park, said Darrell Prince, an activist using his business background to keep track of the daily donations. More is coming through the mail and online.

“It’s way more support than we ever thought would come in,” Prince said.

The cash flow has forced changes in the “finance working group” that arose spontaneously among the self-governed protesters to handle the movement’s money. Buckets were once used to collect park donations, and until recently, a 21-year-old art student played a key role in the working group.

Prince, who has worked in sales, said the group is gaining financial expertise. He said the volunteers they recruit for the work generally “have experience running their own businesses or have worked in the industry.”

They’ve also been getting help from a nonprofit group.

Occupy Wall Street officially became a project of the Washington, D.C.-based Alliance for Global Justice on Sept. 28, 11 days after protesters began camping out at the park.

The status allows the alliance to process donations on the movement’s behalf, and makes it responsible for tax reporting.

“They approached us after people started wanting to give them money,” said Chuck Kaufman, a coordinator for the alliance. “We agreed, not realizing the volume that it was going to turn out to be. It’s been

a learning experience for both of us.”

The alliance advertises itself as “a little bit of people’s think tank, a whole lot of organizing.”

The Manhattan activists have been sticking to a simple, organized routine that works in the ragtag protest community.

In the park, passersby drop bills or coins into monitored lock boxes. Several times a day, volunteers collect the boxes and bring them to a central point.

The boxes are then taken to a nearby office space that is itself a gift from a New York union.

Mail containing checks – made out to the alliance or Occupy Wall Street – arrives at a UPS branch in the financial district where hundreds of cardboard boxes of contributed supplies also have been shipped.

In the office space, volunteers tally the donations and register them on a computer spreadsheet that’s internally accessible to those tracking the finances. Each day’s total is deposited at the Broadway branch of the Amalgamated Bank.

Amalgamated bills itself as the only American bank that is 100 percent union-owned.

Prince said about $350,000 has been donated by credit card through the movement’s website, while the rest was given by mail or in person.

The alliance takes 7 percent of each credit card donation. That gets split between the credit card companies’ fees and the salary of the alliance’s accountant, Kaufman said.

One out of every six women have been victims of attempted or completed rape.

Even with these statistics, only approximately one-quarter of all physical assaults, onefifth of all rapes and one half of all stalking incidents are reported to the police.

The Clothesline Project combats these problems by giving a voice to the abused and raising awareness both nationally and globally, Rice said.

Since its inception in 1990, the Clothesline Project has become a worldwide grassroots movement, with projects opening as far away as Tanzania.

“We’ve come a long way with promoting awareness, but it’s still a very serious issue,” Rice said.

“Awake EP”

“Creatures”

Trash Talk

Motionless in White

“More Monsters and Sprites “ Skrillex

“A Different Kind of Fix” Bombay Bicycle Club

Trash Talk, the in-your-face hardcore band from Sacramento, Calif., has been scaring the hell of people for years with their overthe-top aggression and reputation for having violent shows.

The band’s logo, an inverted peace sign, represents their general attitude. Members of the group stated in interviews that the logo represents destruction and chaos.

On their most recent effort, “Awake EP,” Trash Talk gives longtime listers exactly what they’ve been waiting for since 2010’s “Eyes & Nines” was released: brutal, unrelenting hardcore inspired by the legendary bands of the ‘80s underground scene.

Although the EP is lightning fast (its five tracks don’t even last a total of 10 minutes), it’s brevity doesn’t feel unsatisfying. This release is solid from start to finish and will hopefully prove an indication of the band’s future.

In today’s music world, it’s nearly impossible to find a group that breaks the mold set by their predecessors, especially in the world of heavy metal.

Gruesome breakdowns, heavy riffs and blast beats as far as the ear can hear aren’t enough to cut it for up-and-coming metal bands.

Fortunately,Motionless in White, the six-man group out of Pennsylvania, knows what it takes and showed those talents in their first album release, “Creatures.”

One of the biggest singles “Abigail,” incorporates all of the band’s strong points into one track.

From the very beginning, the raw brutality of the band is apparent. With heavy riffs, electronic sections and one badass breakdown, this song delivers what a metalhead thirsts.

If you’re looking for a brutal album to add to your collection of face-melting, bone-rattling rock, “Creatures” will do the trick.

If you’re looking for experimental variations in the field of metal, look elsewhere.

Electronic music has taken off like a bat-out-of-hell in the past year, with a few select names leading the pack.

One of the main names in the electronic-music scene is Skrillex, an electronic genius whose music can be found anywhere from clubs to commercials.

Over the past several years, Skrillex has been establishing himself as a dominant name in electronic music. Over the past year, has his genius been recognized for what it is – electronic music at its best.

Skrillex’s newest works, “More Monsters and Sprites,” is a remixed and remastered compilation of his older successes.

The album does include two new tracks, though. One of the two, “First of the Year,” shows off Skrillex’s talents in full.

Overall, the album is a refreshing remix of Skrillex’s successful hints that also introduces new tracks to show he’s still got it.

British indie folk artists Bombay Bicycle Club made their entrance into the music world in 2009 with their critically acclaimed debut, “I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose.”

The group’s most recent release, “A Different Kind of Fix,” finds its sound switching back to electric instrumentation for a shift toward more contemporary indie sounds and melodies. By enlisting the help of Deerhunter and Animal Collective producer Ben H. Allen to hone their sound, Bombay Bicycle Club is attempting to break the mold established by their previous releases and establish themselves among the ranks of underground pop’s biggest names.

Like everything else they’ve done up to this point, “A Different Kind of Fix” is honest, direct and heartbreaking. Anyone interested in sincere, earnest music should check this record out.

Julian Barnes wins prestigious Booker Prize after three attempts LONDON (AP) — It was fourth time lucky for British writer Julian Barnes, who won literature’s Booker Prize on Tuesday after a contest that had as many insults, rivalries and bitter accusations as a paperback potboiler.

Barnes, a finalist on three previous occasions who once described the contest as “posh bingo,” finally took the 50,000 pound ($82,000) prize with “The Sense of an Ending,” a memory-haunted novel about a 60-something man forced to confront buried truths about his past after the unexpected arrival of a letter.

Former British spy chiefturned-thriller writer Stella Rimington, who chaired the judging panel, said the 150page novel “spoke to humankind in the 21st century.”

She said it was “almost an archetypal book of our time” that examined the unreliability of memory and how little we know ourselves.

“It is exquisitely written, subtly plotted and reveals new depths with each reading,” she said.

Barnes, one of Britain’s most critically acclaimed nov-

elists, was previously nominated for “Flaubert’s Parrot” in 1984, “England, England” in 1998 and “Arthur and George” in 2005. The 65-year-old writer conceded that “in occasional moments of mild paranoia” he had wondered if forces were working against him ever winning.

“I’m as much relieved as I am delighted to receive the 2011 Booker Prize,” he said, thanking his publishers “for their wisdom and the sponsors for their check.”

Barnes had been the strong favorite to win the award, attracting half of all bets laid through bookmaker William Hill.

He beat five other finalists.

Three were British - Stephen Kelman for “Pigeon English,” A.D. Miller for “Snowdrops” and Carol Birch for “Jamrach’s Menagerie.”

Two Canadian novels rounded out the shortlist: “The Sisters Brothers” by Patrick deWitt and “Half Blood Blues” by Esi Edugyan.

One of the English-speaking world’s most high-profile literary prizes, the Booker is open to writers from Britain, Ireland

and the 54-nation Commonwealth of former British colonies. Founded in 1969, it is officially called the Man Booker Prize after its sponsor, financial services conglomerate Man Group PLC. It always attracts colorful commentary and controversy, but this year’s contest has been particularly combative, with critics accusing the five judges of dumbing-down after Rimington said the finalists had been chosen for readability.

The shortlist drew criticism for excluding some of the year’s most critically lauded books, including “On Canaan’s Side” by Ireland’s Sebastian Barry and “The Stranger’s Child” by Britain’s Alan Hollinghurst.

And a group of writers, publishers and agents announced it was setting up a rival award that hopes to supplant the Booker as English literature’s premier prize.

Literary agent Andrew Kidd, spokesman for the new Literature Prize, said the goal was to create an award “where the single criterion is excellence rather than other factors.”

The new prize will be open to any English-language writer whose work has been published in Britain - unlike the Booker, which does not allow American entrants.

On Tuesday, Rimington accused the Booker’s critics of patronizing and insulting both authors and judges.

“What’s a novel for it it’s not to be read?” she said.

She said the judges were pleased that the batch of six finalists was the best-selling in Booker history.

Though only Barnes was an A-list literary name, readers have embraced the novels’ pacy plots and varied settings, which range from inner-city London in “Pigeon English” to AP Gold Rush-era America in “The Sisters Brothers.” “Jamrach’s British author Julian Barnes won the 2011 Man Booker Prize for fiction poses at a photo Menagerie” moves from 19th- call in London. century London to a whaling ship, while “Snowdrops” is set in modern-day Moscow and “Half Blood Blues” in prewar Paris and Berlin.

Hip-hop star Soulja Boy arrested in Georgia on drug charges TEMPLE, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say hip-hop star Soulja Boy is facing a drug charge after police stopped his rental car in the west Georgia town of Temple on Interstate 20.

Temple Police Chief Tim Shaw tells The Associated Press that police stopped the rented Cadillac Escalade early Tuesday morning because a light wasn’t working.

He said officers found marijuana inside.

The artist, also known as DeAndre Cortez Way, was booked into the Carroll County Jail on charges of marijuana and firearms possession. He was subsequently released on $10,000 bond.

Shaw said that based on what he knows of the arrest, all five occupants of the car were very cordial.

Carroll County officials say Way was represented by attorney Kip Jones, who had no comment when contacted.

Soulja Boy is best known for his 2007 viral music video, “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” and it’s accompanying dance.

WVU Roundtables will boost progress The West Virginia University Roundtable met for the first time last night to discuss diversity issues on campus.

The event gave University administrators and students an opportunity to converge and address issues in a different way.

Although this meeting was designated for topics concerning diversity, Roundtables can be a great way to address many future issues.

Communication is the key to progress at any university.

Students must feel that their

problems are being attended to. Only then will they be more committed to the University.

At the same time, if university officials do not take the time to hear the students’ opinions, they will not likely solve many of their problems.

“Students are often disengaged from important initiatives. This is a way for our students to see that our leaders are engaged and very committed” ... “We really hope that students do a lot of active listening and take what they’ve learned with them to their day-to-day

activities,” said Will Turner, a graduate assistant for the Undergraduate Advising Services Center, in an interview with The Daily Athenaeum Monday.

The WVU Roundtables are a part of the University’s 2020 Strategic Plan for the Future, which was introduced last spring. It’s one thing to hear about the goals of the plan, but another to actually see the University working to complete them.

No matter the problem, the first step toward a viable solution is communication.

Although the University hosts different forums and public events regarding student issues the WVU Roundtable gives students an opportunity to engage in a more personal way.

Upcoming roundtables include a Global Engagement Roundtable, a Research Roundtable, a Quality of Life Roundtable, a Lifelong Learning Roundtable and an Economic Opportunity Roundtable.

WVU President James P. Clements has been committed to

the 2020 Strategic plan and has high hopes for the WVU Roundtable discussions.

“They will strengthen our commitment to engagement and outreach with energized extension services and participation by faculty, staff and students,” Clements said at the State of the University address last week.

With the combined efforts of the administration and students, there aren’t many obstacles WVU can’t overcome.

Whether the reason be founded in a report, project, job or school, the worldwide network of faculty, staff and students at universities around the world experience sleep deprivation. And, when we spend a third of our lives sleeping (according to the National Institutes of Health), why would we deprive ourselves this biological requirement?

TIME magazine’s Christine Gorman, who specializes in health and medicine, writes in a 2007 article, “Lessons for Handling Stress,” that “all through the animal king-

dom, sleep ranks right up there with food, water and sex for the survival of the species.”

Although I subscribe to sleep as one is devout to one’s religion, or lack of, I find frustration and inconsistencies in those who question the wonders of sleep.

Understandably, scientists still do not know precisely why we need sleep. According to Gorman, “researchers have yet to find any biological function that sleep restores ... (yet) most of the new science of sleep has emerged quite recently with new scanning equipment that allows scientists to take increasingly detailed pictures of the sleeping brain. And it is within the sleeping brain, although the brain is never actually at rest, the greatest amount of stimulation and activity occurs.

According to the American Psychological Association, a lack of sleep can affect the following: the brain and nervous systems, the cardiovascular

system, metabolic functions, the immune system, pathological sleepiness, insomnia, accidents, hypertension, emotional disorders, obesity, diabetes, and alcohol and drug abuse in all persons.

With this list of detrimental defects from a lack of sleep at hand, what should push someone to ignore the physiological need for sleep?

With a heavy class schedule, variable amounts of homework, a need for perfection or maintenance of a scholarship, or last-minute studying, many students, faculty and staff find themselves more involved in their extrinsic activities and less involved in their personal needs. And, as academic peoples, we need to be selfish, especially when sleep is involved.

Robert Stickgold, a cognitive neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School, and Matthew Walker of Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center are investigating sleep’s effects on procedural memory

for motor skills. After a patient types a series of numbers with their greatest alacrity, no matter what time of day, their accuracy improved 60 to 70 percent in practice.

Those subjects who rehearsed the series of numbers in the morning and again twelve hours later did significantly improve; whereas those who learned the series of number in the evening, slept, and were retested after a night’s sleep improved 15 to 20 percent faster and were 30 to 40 percent more accurate.

Thus, if grades are your concern and studying is not doing the trick, sleep on your studies, and they might be comfortable.

Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. One of my roommates, who performs well academically, claims sleep really isn’t that important. If one gets good grades and accomplishes much, then what purpose does sleep possess?

For mental and emotional reasons does sleep allow one

to work at one’s best? To give an accurate depiction of the roommate (and I mean no disrespect), by Wednesday he/ she burnt out on their studies, after classes on Friday he/she can be found passed out on the couch, and she/she spend Saturday and Sunday sleeping the day away until late Sunday evening, when the cyclical cramming schedule reinvents itself.

This is not a healthy schedule. Just as one should progressively study over a long period of time, a consistent sleep schedule will benefit one as the weeks and months continue.

Having known the feeling of getting little-to-no sleep and burning out by Wednesday, I have adapted the sleepy lifestyle one dreams of.

And it can be a reality. You do have control. When planning a schedule for next semester or any future activity, remember your sleep number.

The relative number of hours needed for a healthy sleep schedule is six to eight. If one

starts one’s day at 8 a.m., one should finish the day by at least 2p.m. or 3 p.m., depending on the amount of time between classes (which can be used for studying), in order to complete the hours needed for studying, homework and a break. If you start your day later, around 10 a.m.or 11 a.m., then you know to apply your studies later in the evening but save time for sleep.

Varying your schedule, too, will also affect your sleep number. If a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule is heavy, keep Tuesday and Thursday open for studying and catching up on sleep.

Although this sleep theory might sound mundane as well as tremendously idealistic, your mental and physical wellbeing is at stake when you do not give yourself enough sleep during the week. If you have concerns in grades, weight or health, quit dreaming of an impossible reality and get some sleep.

‘A parched and thirsty future’ zeenia framroze harvard political review uwire

Leading water conservationist Amy Vickers put it rather succinctly: “America’s biggest drinking problem isn’t alcohol, it’s lawn watering.”

Rare, yet essential to life, fresh water is the precious elixir we take for granted.

Among all of the environmental specters confronting humanity in the 21st century – global warming, destroyed rainforests, over-fished seas – the catastrophic shortage of fresh water is the most urgent and the most perilous.

The Economist estimates by 2050, one-third of the world’s population will lack a clean, secure source of water. The looming freshwater crisis has very real consequences for the rest of the world and pervades every sphere of life, potentially

DA

having disastrous effects of the environment, society and politics.

So how did we get to this point? As the world’s population has soared, so too has the usage of water. The World Water Council states water consumption has risen by a whopping 600 percent in the past decade. As the pace of development accelerates, we destroy wetlands, cut down forests, and deplete natural catchment areas.

To make matters worse, we pollute our rivers and lakes allowing chemicals, sewage and waste to contaminate our already scarce supplies. And then there is the wanton waste – from dripping faucets to rarely used swimming pools, we are consuming fresh-water at a foolhardy rate.

Environmental & Human Costs First, in the human scramble to secure water, the nonhuman consumers (flora and fauna) are simply cast aside.

We sink wells, pump ground water, and drain bogs and swamps. But we fail to realize that we are setting off an inevitable cataclysmic chain reaction.

By diminishing swamps and wetlands, we are killing algae, vegetation and aquatic life. If they die, the oxygen and filtered water they provide will be forever lost to mankind.

In our thirst for more water we build our dams higher and we dig our wells deeper, changing the topography and environment forever. In the process, we are decimating aquatic life, animal life and human settlements.

If the environmental consequences weren’t damning enough, perhaps readers might sympathize more with the effects the fresh-water crisis will have on society. The human cost is likely to be tremendous. 66 percent of the planet’s fresh water is used for agriculture and animal husbandry. It takes 140 liters of fresh water to

create each cup of coffee, 1,300 liters for a kilogram of wheat and 16,000 liters for every kilogram of beef. Steak, anyone?

As fresh water becomes scarce, our planet will be forced even deeper into famine. Already, parts of Spain, India, Sudan and Tunisia have turned into semiarid deserts. It is no coincidence that the most arid and driest areas of our planet are also the hungriest.

Water is also essential to health and sanitation. According to the World Health Organization, one in six people lack access to clean drinking water. Half of the world’s hospital beds are filled with people suffering from water-related illnesses.

By 2020 there will be 76 million deaths due to water borne diseases alone – 76 million deaths, all for the lack of a glass of clean drinking water.

Interestingly, an often-overlooked fact is that water is in many ways a gender issue. In fact, it is the girls who fetch

water in the developing world, often spending hours walking miles to carry home every precious drop. It is the girls who are kept out of school to fetch this water. It is the girls whose education is terminated because of a lack of clean toilet facilities. It is a shortage of water, that perpetuates their unequal status, generation after generation.

Political Consequences Finally, let me turn to the political consequences. Fresh water is not only scarce, it is inequitably distributed. Let me give you an example: Canada has 20 percent of the world’s fresh water for 0.5 percent of the world’s population, Mexico has less than 1 percent for 4 percent of the world’s population.

To put it another way, each Canadian has 100 million liters per capita while a Mexican has just 4 million liters available.

As water has gradually become “the oil of the 21st century,” we are seeing political conflicts

erupt.

Even today, China, Bolivia, India and Spain are engaged in water conflicts. In 2009 alone, the Pacific Institute states there were six new outbreaks of strife and violence over water. The stakes are high; violent conflict is an ever-greater threat.

Water is life. It is the briny broth of our origin, the pounding circulatory system of the world. As Barbara Kingsolver says, we have been too slow to give up on the myth of Earth’s infinite generosity. Rather grandly, we have overdrawn our accounts.

Even in arid Arizona, golf courses and lawns abound. We need to think carefully about our incessant loads of laundry and dishwashing cycles.

In the last decade, China’s Yellow River has frequently lost its way to the Pacific, the Aral Sea has shrunk by half, and last year the Rio Grande dried up before it reached the Gulf of Mexico. Do we really need a louder wake up call?

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year your nurturing qualities emerge. Opportunities appear to be more visual and available to others. You might feel like someone is pushing you, but ultimately you control your own actions. Avoid negativity.

You are ending a cycle, clearing out what is no longer relevant. If you are single, someone you meet could be demanding. Breaking this relationship could be difficult. If you are attached, share more of your outside world with your sweetie.

CANCER can be annoying, as they can push hard.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Understand that everyone has different needs, and you are no exception. Adapt your environment so you are comfortable at work or at home. Pressure builds; deal with a difficult family member or roommate. Tonight: Know what you want.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Communication would flourish if others responded like you. An associate or coworker could be cold and difficult. Let this situation work itself out. Follow your inner voice. Take a much-needed break midday. Tonight: Make calls, then decide.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You might be a little self-indulgent right now, especially as you cannot seem to come up with the right idea. You have a way of solving problems that could be blocked for now. Be more aware of what you have to offer. Tonight: Your treat.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You

could be all smiles, but you will see and experience the moods of others. You are not the type that cocoons when in a great mood. Don’t let someone drag you down.

Move on. Think positively. Tonight: It is your call.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Know when to back down and approach a situation differently. You could be taken aback by people and events. Take your time, knowing sooner or later solid options will appear. Only at that point and time can you make stronger decisions.

Tonight: Be mysterious.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH You can be found where your friends are. Don’t commit to spending more than necessary. Tension could build, as you really might want to join friends but cannot afford their plans. Worry less. An opportunity that suits you better will come along.

Tonight: Where the fun is.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Take a stand. You know how to lead, but do others know how to follow? Don’t push beyond your natural limits. Understand what is going on behind the scenes.

Taking breaks is instrumental to keeping your energy high. Tonight: A must appearance.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Reach out for more information. If your instincts tell you that something is missing or a situation doesn’t feel right, trust it. Pressure builds if you become too judgmental. Right now, get information.

You could be smiling soon enough. Tonight: At a favorite blues or jazz spot.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Work with others individually. If you opt for a meeting with more than one person, you could be sorely disappointed.

A friendship means a lot to you, though right now this person might not be honoring your feelings. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH No matter what you do or what decisions you make, you simply aren’t feeling like you are working in fifth gear. Defer to others and accept that there are some days that are better than others. An associate or loved one is only too happy to fill in. Tonight: Decide if you want to go out first.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Dive into your routine, and you will accomplish a lot. Stay on top of a difficult communication, perhaps involving someone at a distance. You could feel out of sync.

Honor how you feel, and you will be a lot happier, now and later. Tonight: Squeeze in a nap if you have to be up late.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH You keep making up for others and their slight misjudgments or inability to complete a task. You have unusual energy and feel wonderful, as you seem to be able to support others in this manner. A child or loved one needs your time and attention. Tonight: Let off some steam with a loved one.

‘The Crucible’ brings witchcraft to the stage

by Ashley Hite A&E Writer

West Virginia University’s Division of Theatre and Dance will be performing an adaptation of Arthur Miller’s classic play “The Crucible,” beginning Thursday and running through Sunday at the Metropolitan Theatre.

Lee Blair, an assistant professor, said the cast consists of undergraduate and graduate students in the Division of Theatre and Dance.

Blair has been overseeing the practices for the production since they began about eight weeks ago.

“It’s a long process, but it’s a normal process for us to mount a production,” Blair said.

Students participating in the play get class credit for appearing, however, they must balance the extensive practice times with their classes and lives.

“As far as the time commitment, it’s Monday through Friday from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.,” Blair said. “When it gets closer

to the opening of the show, we have technical rehearsals and dress rehearsals that extend over the weekend.”

“The Crucible,” written

by Arthur Miller in 1952, is an allegory that explores the rampant anti-communist movement brought on by McCarthyism and the political climate of the ‘50s.

During this time, the House Un-American Activities Committee – lead by Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin – were pulling in average citizens to testify before Congress about whether or not they were communists.

Miller himself was actually brought before Congress, which he saw as a witch hunt, and thus wrote “The Crucible” in response.

“The Crucible” is set during the witch trials of 17th century Salem, Mass.

The play follows the lies and betrayals of a group of young Puritan girls caught dancing and trying to raise pagan spirits in the woods.

To save themselves, the

girls point the finger at other women and accuse them of “trafficking with the devil” and being witches.

The play won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1953.

The play is also part of the President’s Office of Social Justice’s Diversity Week and ties in with the week’s theme of “Peace. Love.

Understanding.”

“There is a great deal of intolerance that is portrayed within ‘The Crucible,’” Blair said. “People turn against friends. People become suspicious of their neighbors.”

“The Crucible” will be performed at Metropolitan Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20 through Saturday, Oct. 22.

A matinee performance will be held Sunday, Oct. 23 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are still available for all showtimes, visit www.ticketmaster.com, the Creative Arts Center or Mountainlair Box Offices, or by calling 304-293-SHOW. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

An adaptation of Arthur Miller’s, ‘The Crucible’ will run at the Metropolitan Theatre this weekend.

Jazz ensemble concert showcases student musicians

by Rebecca Lebherz A&E Correspondent

The West Virginia University Jazz Ensembles showcased their talents in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre at the Creative Arts Center Monday evening.

The concert featured one big band and seven smaller groups of varied sizes.

Of the smaller groups to perform, three were piano trios.

Pin Xuen Cheng’s trio, per-

formed original compositions, while the other ensembles played renditions from popular artists.

Kacang Putih, another piano trio, performed John Mayer’s “Stitched Up” and “Blackbird,” by The Beatles.

Katie McDonald, the vocalist for Kacang Putih, said the group started when she and pianist Lily Tan began playing together three years ago.

Since then, the group has undergone several lineup

changes. The ensemble debuted several new members at this performance.

“It’s really fun. We have a lot of freedom because we are a student-run organization,” McDonald said.

“It’s a really good opportunity, and we gain a lot of experience.”

Paul Scea, director of the University Jazz Ensembles, said he was very pleased with the show’s delivery and felt it was well-received by the audience.

“It showcased a lot of very talented students,” Scea said.

“They are very creative, and it’s a pleasure to coach them.”

The Little Big Band comprised of 19 musicians who played saxophone, trombone, trumpet and rhythm sections.

The tenor sax solo during The Little Big Band’s rendition of Michael Brecker’s “Delta City Blues,” arranged

by Dave Eshelman, was one of the highlights of the concert, said McDonald.

Scea said the groups all

have unique personalities, so he tries to organize the program in a way that will make the most sense to the audience.

“We want to have a nice overall flow to the concert,” he said.

Another audience favorite appeared to be the grad sextet’s rendition of “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” originally by Josef Zawinul.

Several groups, including the grad sextet, made their WVU performance debut at

Monday night’s concert.

The Jazz Ensembles play a variety of genres including Latin, bebop, fusion, avant-garde and experimental music.

The ensembles are open to all WVU students by audition.

The Small Jazz Ensemble and Vocal Jazz Concert will be the next concert held on Nov. 13, at 3:15 p.m. in the Antoinette Falbo Theatre in the Creative Arts Center. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Cast of characters helps ‘50/50’ contemplate life’s value, incorporates humor ali sultan a&e correspondent

There’s nothing worse than finding out someone close to you has a potentially terminal illness.

Being able to find courage and strength despite such news can be one of life’s biggest obstacles.

“50/50,” the latest film from director Jonathan Levine (“The Wackness”), manages to do so with apparent ease.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“Inception”) and Seth Rogen (“Knocked Up”) deliver great performances in this dramedy about a 27 year-old man diagnosed with cancer.

Based on the real-life experiences of the film’s writer, Will Reiser, this film gives audiences many different glimpses into such a hardship.

This film examines a wide range of emotions, from laughter and tears to thoughts about the value of living life to the fullest and the meaning of family and friendship.

The story starts with Adam (Gordon-Levitt) waking up with his girlfriend Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard “The Village”) and seemingly living a normal life. His best friend, Kyle (Rogen), works with him at a Seattle public radio office, and they seem to share a close friendship.

Adam keeps complaining of back pains and eventually goes to the doctor for a diagnosis.

His doctor tells him in a very straight-forward manner that he has a rare cancer in the lower area of his spine and will have to undergo chemotherapy.

The doctor also gives him contact information for a therapist he can visit.

Throughout the film, Adam has to deal with this illness with his mother (Anjelica Huston,

“The Addams Family”), Kyle and his therapist, Katie (Anna Kendrick, “Twilight”), with whom he develops a close relationship.

With a subject as touchy as cancer, many can argue it would be hard to infuse humor into the storyline.

Reiser, however, found a much easier way to do so without making anyone in the audience feel uneasy in taking such a topic lightly.

Even though the film is centered itself around the contemplation of life’s true value and the importance of not taking it for granted, it doesn’t hesitate to fill the story with humor and playfulness.

More importantly, the performances of Gordon-Levitt, Rogen and Kendrick were instrumental in the general gleefulness that seeped out of many of the film’s moments.

Rogen gave the film most of its humorous moments with his character’s blunt speech and

overall awkwardness in having a friend going through a lifechanging situation.

Gordon-Levitt provided the perfect balance between seriousness and humility through his character. He was the best choice for this role, and it’s hard to imagine anyone else doing such a great job with the range of this film’s tone and his character’s evolution in the film.

Overall, I’d recommend watching this critically-acclaimed film when a chance arises, especially if you know someone who has been through the troubling process of being diagnosed with and treated for cancer.

This film teaches you that no matter the obstacle, your family and friends are everything you will ever need to overcome it.

The new film ‘50/50’ touches on life’s value while incorporating humor.

ABC’s ‘Modern Family’ among most viewed shows on DVR, watched by 14 million NEW YORK (AP) — ABC’s “Modern Family” may not be the top-rated comedy on television, but it’s the one most viewers catch up with on their digital video recorders.

Through the first two weeks of the season, the Nielsen Co. said an average of 4.5 million viewers watched a recording of “Modern Family” after it first appeared on the air.

That lifted the show’s viewership from nearly 14 million people who watched it live to 18.5 million.

It was the prime-time program that got the biggest lift when Nielsen’s measurement of who watches on DVR within seven days is added in.

Networks are increasingly watching this new ratings measurement as DVR penetration increases.

Eight shows besides “Modern Family” saw their audiences grow by more than 3 million when the DVR statistics were added.

Six are on CBS, led by “Two and a Half Men.” ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” and Fox’s “Terra Nova” picked up significant time-shifted viewing.

NBC’s ratings this season are abysmal, but one ray of light is

that the network’s “Parenthood,” ‘’Prime Suspect” and “Up All Night” increased their audiences by more than 30 percent through DVRs, Nielsen said.

The DVR numbers could be the difference between life and death for marginal series.

ABC’s just-canceled “Charlie’s Angels” had virtually the same live audience as its new “Pan Am” last week, but during the first two weeks of the season the percentage of people who watched “Pan Am” on DVR was more than twice that of “Charlie’s Angels.”

In what’s becoming a pattern, CBS dominated live viewing again last week with 16 of the top 25 shows in Nielsen’s ranking.

A strong newcomer was ABC’s comedy “Last Man Standing,” which landed in the top 10 with its premiere, evidence of actor Tim Allen’s enduring popularity.

For the week in prime time, CBS led with an average of 10.6 million viewers (6.7 rating, 11 share), Fox had 9 million and ABC had 8.6 million (both 5.5, 9), NBC had 6.4 million (4.1, 7), the CW had 1.7 million (1.1, 2) and ION Television had 940,000 (0.6, 1).

Among the Spanish-language stations, Univision led

with an average of 3.2 million viewers (1.7, 3), Telemundo had 1.1 million (0.4, 1), TeleFutura had 510,000 (0.3, 0), Estrella had 220,000 and Azteca 190,000 (both 0.1, 0).

NBC’s “Nightly News” won the evening news ratings race, averaging 8 million viewers (5.4 rating, 11 share), ABC’s “World News” had 7.5 million (5.1, 10) and the “CBS Evening News” had 5.5 million (3.8, 7).

A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation’s estimated 114.7 million TV homes.

The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.

For the week of Oct. 10-16, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: “NCIS,” CBS, 18.98 million; “Dancing With the Stars Results,” ABC, 16.89 million; “Dancing With the Stars,” ABC, 16.79 million; NFL Football: Minnesota at Chicago, NBC, 16.57 million; “Two and a Half Men,” CBS, 16.2 million; “NCIS: Los Angeles,” CBS, 15.4 million; “Sunday Night NFL PreKick,” NBC, 14.39 million; “Modern Family,” ABC, 13.65 million; “The Big Bang Theory,” CBS, 13.58 million; “Last Man Standing,” ABC, 13.19 million.

‘Modern Family’ has become the highest recorded show on television.

WVU motivated to avoid another letdown vs. ‘Cuse No season is the same as the last.

This season looks much different from 2010 for the No. 11 West Virginia football team.

It has a new head football coach, several new additions to the coaching staff, three new freshmen running backs, and several new starters on defense.

But, that doesn’t mean the few WVU players from last season don’t remember what Syracuse did to them in front of their own home crowd at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Veterans like junior quarterback Geno Smith, who threw three interceptions in last year’s game, and senior defensive ends Julian Miller and Bruce Irvin will be counted on this week in practice to help the younger players prepare for the first of two consecutive road games.

The chances of Smith throwing interceptions again don’t seem likely, especially the way the offense has been flowing over the past few weeks. He certainly has extra motivation to play at a higher level than last year.

Syracuse took advantage of its powerful running game last year by controlling the clock and keeping the WVU defense on the field for long periods of time, making them tired. The Orange will probably try to do something similar again Friday, but it actually could benefit the Mountaineers.

The team knows what happened last year was disappointing because, in the players’ minds, the better team lost the game.

They don’t want that to happen two years in a row, especially with Big East title and BCS bowl aspirations for the end of the season in the back of their minds.

In addition, the Mountaineers have a chance to redeem themselves on national television Friday night and prove they have a legitimate chance of running the table the rest of the way this season.

It’s a good thing the team has been playing well going into the bye week. It makes a big difference in performance when players and coaches have high self-esteem and are on the same page while not playing for almost two weeks.

“I feel like our morale is real high,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen during Monday’s Big East conference call. “Guys are having a good time playing ball, and then you throw in the equation that Syracuse outplayed West Virginia here last year in Morgantown and played with a little bit more energy and a little bit more excitement for four quarters.

That should give our guys some motivation to play.”

The Mountaineer defense should come out with a lot of energy as they have played well enough for about a game and a half – finally accumulating some sacks (five against UConn) and forcing turnovers when needed.

Irvin and Miller have four sacks between them this season, but each had at least one in the game against UConn.

They’re finally in a groove and have had the bye week to recover from any lingering injuries that may have been bothering them.

Other players on the defense, such as redshirt freshman linebacker Jewone Snow, are stepping up and doing more than what they’re asked by the coaches. Snow had an 84-yard fumble return on a fumble recovery against UConn and was second on the team in the game with seven tackles.

The job for guys like Smith, senior cornerback Keith Tandy and other upperclassmen is to lead the way in practice this week, and to instill the confidence in the rest of the team that last year was a fluke.

The program West Virginia built is still a few steps ahead of Syracuse. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Big East doubles exit fees Commissioner says teams support move toward 12-team model for football by mIchael carvelli sports editor

During a teleconference with media members Tuesday afternoon, Big East Conference commissioner John Marinatto announced the league’s plan to double its exit fees for football members.

The plan to raise the exit fee from $5 million to $10 million was passed unanimously by all 14 of the conference’s presidents, and Marinatto said it will now allow the Big East to continue forward in the process of expanding to 12 football schools.

“This development is a sig-

nificant step forward as well as a positive demonstration and acknowledgement of the continued benefits of being in the Big East Conference,” Marinatto said in a statement. “It sends a message to those institutions we are talking to about joining us. In addition, our members have given us their support to move toward a 12team football model.

“Each of our member schools is behind this effort, and we are confident we can achieve it.”

The commissioner said on Tuesday he didn’t have an exact timetable of when to expect the Big East’s expansion

to begin, but he did say conference officials have been working on it.

“We’re not going to rush ourselves to meet anyone’s deadline,” Marinatto said. “We have a lot to offer, and we’re going to get this done right. My hope is once this landscape is resolved, the better it is for all of us, so the sooner the better.”

After Pittsburgh and Syracuse opted to leave the Big East in September for the ACC and the news of TCU leaving in favor of the Big 12 a few weeks ago, there has been talk of more of the league’s teams leaving as conference realignment continues throughout

the country.

Although he feels the member schools that remain in the conference are committed to staying, Marinatto understands things might not go the way he has planned, and the Big East will be ready to adapt if any other football schools would choose to leave for another conference.

“We’re prepared to respond to whatever challenges we face on the membership side,” he said. “One of any number of schools would love the opportunity to join our conference.

We’ve taken these hits before and have proven ourselves to be creative and resilient.”

While Marinatto said the Big East wants to expand to 12 teams for its football conference, he wouldn’t give any specifics of what schools have shown interest or what schools the conference has spoken to.

“Although I understand that everyone involved would like a quick resolve to all of this, we recognize that there are a lot of moving pieces, which we are addressing and working through with our members,” he said. “I cannot go into specifics of publicly identifying and naming any institutions we may be speaking to, but I

No. 18 West Virginia hands No. 1 Connecticut first loss of season with 2-0 upset by alex sims sports writer

The top team in men’s NCAA soccer is undefeated no more.

Four years ago today, Connecticut came into Morgantown ranked No. 1 and returned to Storrs after a 1-0 loss.

On Tuesday, West Virginia did it again, but this time the Huskies were sent home with a 2-0 loss.

“Easily the best win I have been a part of,” said junior defender Eric Schoenle, who put the game away with his goal in the 79th minute.

Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium hosted 1,719 fans to see the Mountaineers upend a UConn team who had previously allowed only three goals on the season.

WVU goalkeeper Justin Holmes had five saves on the way to recording his fifth shutout of the season – and his fourth in five games.

The game-winning goal came in the 35th minute from junior midfielder Shadow Sebele off of a penalty kick.

Play was initiated by junior midfielder Uwem Etuk and senior defender Raymon Gaddis on the right side. Gaddis lofted a pass to freshman forward Andy Bevin, who was taken out from behind by a Connecticut defender in the corner of the penalty area.

Defense leads way in WVU win over UConn by amit batra sports writer

For the fourth time in five games, the No. 18 West Virginia men’s soccer team recorded a shutout.

On Tuesday, it came against the nation’s topranked team in a 2-0 upset over Connecticut.

What was most impressive against the Huskies was the WVU defense didn’t just do its part in not allowing UConn to score goals – it actually did some of the Mountaineers’ scoring, as well.

In the 79th minute, junior defender Eric Schoenle sealed the West Virginia victory with an amazing header off of an assist from fellow juniors Shadow Sebele and Travis Pittman.

“As soon as Shadow played it, I knew I was going to get there,” Schoenle said. “As soon as it left my head, I knew it definitely had a chance. It went in, I saw it go in, and I couldn’t be happier. Happy I could help the team out.”

West Virginia junior goalkeeper Justin Holmes’ shutout Tuesday’s game against a Connecticut team that came into the game tied for the Big East Conference lead with 23 goals.

The Mountaineers were able to dominate the game on both sides of the ball, as they have done in their shutouts this year against teams such as Pitt, Georgetown, Cincinnati and Virginia.

And, as they say, a good defense leads to a good offense, which has been the case for WVU in their shutout victories this season.

The stellar defensive play has allowed the Mountaineers to dominate in the shot count.

In a win against a prolific offense like Connecticut’s, West Virginia was able to con-

West Virginia has had two shutouts against ranked teams at home recently. On Oct. 8, the Mountaineers defeated the then-No. 13 Georgetown Hoyas with a 1-0 shutout. The shutouts have given West Virginia a load of confidence coming into the heart of the schedule.

Keeping this pace and not taking their foot off of the pedal has allowed the Mountaineers to put themselves in a position to win big games like they did Tuesday.

“We created a ton of opportunities tonight,” said freshman forward Andy Bevin.

“We could have had four or five goals if it went our way. To get two against a strong team with such a great record; it makes us very proud.”

Going into the second half up 1-0, the Mountaineers kept the pressure on the Huskies

throughout remainder of the game.

“They’re too good to just go out and defend against,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

“We executed the game plan well. They’re a very dynamic, explosive team. We had to focus on our players and make sure my guys understood what the game plan was and how we wanted to approach it.”

The recent amount of shutouts was also to the LeBlanc’s liking.

“We come right out against one of the most explosive teams in America and some of the most explosive players in America and shut them out,” LeBlanc said. “Justin had a solid game. I think that was the key to the game that our goalkeeper had to manage the game and make the important saves for us. Credit goes to all 11 guys for the shutout.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Muslim Arab Anti-Semitism Why it makes peace very difficult – almost impossible Anti-Semitism has often and rightfully been called the longest hatred, the oldest prejudice. It has plagued Europe for a very long time and has, over the centuries, brought untold suffering to the Jewish people. Its most deadly expression was the Nazi Holocaust, which caused the death of 6 million Jews and extinguished ancient civilizations in much of Europe. So terrible, so evil were those events that anti-Semitism was shunned and repudiated by the civilized world.

After playing its first six games in as many weeks, the No. 11 West Virginia football team enjoyed a bye week this past weekend.

The Mountaineers will travel to the Carrier Dome to face the Syracuse Orange Friday at 8 p.m. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN. “We got a lot accomplished last week,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“We will continue to focus on Syracuse, which will be a very challenging opponent.”

The Mountaineers are off to a 1-0 start in Big East Conference play and boasts a 5-1 record overall.

The goal was Sebele’s sixth of the season, tying him with Bevin to pace the Mountaineers.

It was also his third goal off of penalty kicks of the season, with his other two coming in a 2-0 victory at Pittsburgh last week.

“This is going to give us a lot of confidence going forward,” Sebele said. “We knew this was the best defensive team in the nation, so scoring two goals against them and having a shutout is big for us.”

West Virginia outshot Connecticut 14-12 in the game.

will say we are very happy with the quality of schools that have expressed interest.”

Marinatto said he has not received calls from any other conferences about interest in Big East teams since Big 12

last year,” Holgorsen said. “Syracuse played with more effort, more energy and more excitement for four quarters – and ended up knocking off West Virginia.

“If we need any more motivation than that, then we’re out of luck. Syracuse is a good football team, and they figure out ways to win.”

The Orange are 4-2 this season, with one of their losses a 19-16 double overtime defeat at the hands of Rutgers.

Even though Syracuse allows nearly 30 points per game defensively, Holgorsen firmly believes the Orange have the personnel to create problems for West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith.

“They play a very physical brand of football,” Holgorsen said. “Defensively, they pressure you a ton.”

The pressure seemed to bother Smith in last year’s game, as the Mountaineer signal caller threw three intercep-

tions – one coming on the third play of the game.

Holgorsen hopes for a better performance from Smith this season, but the home crowd could be a factor.

“It’s the first time I’ve been to the dome,” Holgorsen said.

“A lot of our players have been there. They told me it’s loud, it’s rowdy, and it gets warm. It’s a challenge that we look forward to.”

The Mountaineers will look to tally their first Big East road win of the season, and Holgorsen hopes his team can accomplish the task at hand.

“Every game is a challenge.

You have to play your best every game,” Holgorsen said. “Every game is going to present its own challenges. We know what those challenges are when it comes to this week, and we’re working hard on making sure we accomplish what we set out to accomplish.”

The Mountaineers’ second goal came off of a Travis Pittman corner kick.

The junior midfielder hit Sebele near the top corner of the box, who knocked the ball up to Schoenle.

The Yardley, Pa., native headed the ball past Blake, putting the game out of reach for the Huskies.

As the game wore on, the team that had not yet tasted defeat grew more and more frustrated, as three separate Huskies earned yellow cards in the second half.

West Virginia finished the game with 15 fouls and two yellow cards to UConn’s 10 fouls and three cards.

As the Huskies were becom-

ing flustered, the WVU crowd began to sense the huge victory its team was earning in front of them.

West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc was pleased with the near-flawless effort of his team in front of a voracious packed house at Dick Dlesk.

“I’ve been saying all year long that this team is good enough to be a big-time team,” LeBlanc said. “I’ve said that we don’t lose here when it’s packed. I just hope that results like this will convince our fan base to keep coming out and supporting this team, because when this place is full, we’re a difficult team to beat.”

contacted him about TCU. Even if more teams would decide to leave in the future, Marinatto said the Big East hasn’t had any discussions about getting rid of football.

“It’s never come up. We’ve got a solid nucleus right now, and we have a plan people are excited about that expands on our strengths and is very cre-

ative to allow further flexibility down the road,” Marinatto said. “We’re positioned well, and if something happens and we have to adjust, we’ll adjust accordingly.

“We have a core nucleus in order to create something very special right now.”
