WVU celebrates Make A Difference Day by lacey palmer correspondent

The West Virginia University Center for Civic Engagement and the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties will celebrate Make A Difference Day Saturday.

More than 300 WVU students come together for the event each year to help the community, according to Brett White, operations coordinator for the CCE.

“We have a long tradition here at WVU with Make A Difference Day. It’s the largest service project on campus,” White said. “The day is a national day of service, so WVU is just a piece of a national day when people are really trying to get out in the community to give back.”

The event will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Students will visit different locations around the community and volunteer their time.

“We coordinate anywhere from 15 to 20 different projects around the community. Then, students sign up and are assigned to a different project, and they all take place at the same time,” White said.

Project sites include the Ronald McDonald House Charities, The Shack Neighborhood House, the Bartlett House and the Sundale Nursing Home.

Make A Difference Day is

an excellent opportunity for individuals or student organizations to volunteer as a group, White said.

“Another great thing about Make A Difference Day is that it’s a wonderful opportunity for student organizations to volunteer together because we can place large groups together to go do a service project,” White said. “Therefore, we have a lot of student organizations that take advantage of it and a lot of students

who sign up as individuals, as well.”

Though Make A Difference Day is a great opportunity for students to reach out, White encourages them to strive to make a difference year-round.

“Anytime students are looking to get out and get involved – whether it be for a major requirement, a sanction in the residence hall or a part of their academic coursework – the CCE is the

The West Virginia University Department of Family Medicine has been awarded a $948,000 grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration.

The grant, which will be active for five years, is expected to address health issues in communication, the care of rural and underserved populations, and interprofessional education.

“I can’t tell you how excited we are to have received it and (we are) looking forward to the new programs that will be created as a result,” said Dorian Williams, director of student programs for the Department of Family Medicine.

The Department of Family Medicine was one of 21 programs chosen to receive the grant.

“We have been fortunate to receive grants to support our clinical mission, residency education and, like this one, medical student education,” Williams said.

“This, however, is by far the largest of the grants both in scope and in amount of the award.”

The proposal was constructed by more than 60 health care professionals of many different fields, in-

University promotes Cyber Security Awareness month The West Virginia University Office of Information Security is spreading awareness of online protection across campus in celebration of National Cyber Security Awareness Month.

The event is an annual awareness-raising effort that seeks to encourage everyone to protect their networks and our nation’s critical cyber infrastructure, according to the National Cyber Security Alliance.

“Our goal is to raise awareness, with faculty and students specifically, on particular issues to help maintain the security of WVU resources,” said Bob Meyers, educational programmer for the Office of Information Security .

Throughout the month of

October, the OIS will host a booth for students to learn more about their own cyber security.

Students will have a chance to test the strength of their personal passwords, enter for a chance to win T-shirts or a thumb drive and learn more about protecting themselves online.

The OIS will also post specific messages in regards to cyber security on MIX for students each week throughout the month.

Meyers urges students to use different credentials for personal social networking accounts and official WVU online resources.

Meyers said social networking sites such as Facebook are the most prone to identity theft.

“That’s the single biggest

issue we face from a security standpoint on campus,” he said.

Meyers also urges students to be cautious when using social networking applications on their mobile phones.

“Seventy-six percent of popular apps for Android and iOS store usernames and passwords as plain text with no encryption,” Meyers said. “Students can jeopardize their entire future by having their identity stolen.”

Many college students struggle with stress ranging from academic, social and financial issues, and they can’t afford to risk identify theft, Meyers said.

“Right now, we’re in an era in our society where personal identity theft has become a bigger threat than someone breaking into your apartment

or stealing money from your wallet,” Meyers said.

Meyers said just this week, a phishing attack was delivered to many online mailboxes affiliated with the University.

“The email notifies the recipient that their webmail access is about to expire, and a link is provided to update your credentials,” according to the Office of Information Technology.

OIT urges those who receive the email not to access the link because it is not a Universitysponsored website and could jeopardize online security.

“We are getting a lot of calls and emails from people who fell for it. This really emphasizes the need for increased cyber security awareness on campus,” Meyers said.

The portion of the grant that will go toward communication will be focused on current medical students.

“We want to create a culture of observation whereby students learn by watching and being watched with an increased focus on objective communication skills,” Williams said.

The goal is to inform students how to communicate more effectively with their patients and each other in order to achieve the best quality care possible, he said.

“Establishing rapport with a patient is key to developing a therapeutic relationship,” Williams said.

“That bond can improve health, both by increasing the providers understanding of the patient’s illness and by improving compliance in therapy.”

The Department of Family Medicine will also use the grant to promote careers in primary care and explain why rural areas are in need of doctors, especially West Virginia.

“West Virginia is one of the most rural of states, and 51 out of 55 counties are medically underserved,”

Every year, the Make A Difference Day event continues to improve and grow, and White said he’s looking forward to this year’s event and the years to come.

“We actually just closed volunteer registration because all of the projects are full,” he said. “We have the maximum capacity this year, which is great.”

The Safe Zone program at West Virginia University aims to educate students about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community.

“It’s a program where individuals whom are unambivalently allied to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning individuals can find out more information about how to be helpful,” said Deb Beazley, a Safe Zone educator.

Beazley said the program addresses key issues the LGBTQ community faces and provides a safe haven for those in need of support.

“We want to create a network so that LGBTQ individuals know that if they have a question, they have someone they can call,” Beazley said. “Making people feel comfortable with what they already want to do, which is being supportive of others, is something we want to achieve. The need to have

Safe Zone members is huge.”

Students can attend training courses and seminars provided by Safe Zone, Beazley said.

“We respond to someone who wants to be a part of this program instead of making people do it. They already know they’re an ally – they just want to be better at. So, they call me,” she said.

The Safe Zone program is nationwide and was started in 1997.

The program is open to any student who would like to join, regardless of sexual orientation.

“It’s not meant to convert anybody or change anybody’s mind, it’s just meant to be an educational piece for those who are already an ally,” Beazley said. “This is not a program where we try to get people through the doors and then twist their arms.”

Students can sign up for the Safe Zone program by contacting Deb Beazley at ebeazley@hsc.wvu.edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Gadhafi death another victory for Obama doctrine WASHINGTON (AP) — The death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi expands the growing string of security victories on President Barack Obama’s watch and reinforces his own style of dealing with enemies without immersing the United States in war. Even skeptics offered congratulations.

For Obama, the outcome allowed him to stand victorious in the Rose Garden on Thursday, taking note also of the death this year of prominent al-Qaida leaders at the hands of the United States.

His message: The United States showed it can help rally an international campaign to protect Libyans and rid the world of a killer without a single U.S. troop dying.

His vice president, Joe Biden, went further.

“This is more of the prescription for how to deal with the world as we go forward than it has been in the past,” Biden said in New Hampshire, as the administration sought again to distance itself from an era of politics once dominated by the Iraq war.

For Obama, the larger story is of an administration with deepening credibility on how to handle bad actors or international tinderboxes without immersing the United States in war.

It is not expected to impact his re-election chances; 2012 will be the economy election.

But it burnishes his standing on how to protect the country and work with the rest of the world.

As Obama likes to remind Americans, he is the president who hastened the end of the war in Iraq, and he is now winding down the one in Afghanistan after expanding it greatly.

And in a span of months, the country has seen the demise of infamous men who either had killed Americans or haunted the United States by targeting it for terror attacks.

Obama ordered a daring special forces raid in Pakistan in May that led to the killing of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, the architect of the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks in 2001.

Last month, a U.S. drone strike in the mountains of Yemen killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen and prominent al-Qaida figure who was deemed as having an operational role in plots against the

U.S. The plots included two nearly catastrophic attacks on U.S.-bound planes – an airliner on Christmas 2009 and cargo planes last year.

And then came the confirmed reports Thursday that Gadhafi was dead. There were conflicting accounts on how he died, but little doubt he suffered a grisly end.

Libyans celebrated and Obama spoke of a victorious revolution for those who had suffered under Gadhafi’s rule.

“The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted,” Obama said.

He spoke of Gadhafi as a man who beat and killed his people and who for decades robbed a nation of its potential.

What the president didn’t note was the criticism he faced from some members of Congress earlier in the campaign, long before rebels got their foothold in overthrowing Gadhafi. Obama had gotten heat on various fronts – acting too slowly in the first place, acting without sufficient consent from Congress, acting in a way that left the United States vulnerable to endless trouble.

One top Republican, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said Thursday that replacing Gadhafi with a representative democracy in Libya will be “worth its weight in gold in terms of our national security.” He added that fellow Republicans who “wanted the War Powers Act invoked would not have asked for it if President Obama wasn’t the president.”

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, asked in Iowa whether Obama deserved credit for killing Gadhafi, answered, “Yes, absolutely.”

Obama’s opponent in the 2008 election, Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, told CNN that the Obama administration should be credited but could have accelerated Gadhafi’s fall by acting earlier and more expansively.

The U.S. and NATO allies launched a bombing campaign in Libya on March 19 after the United Nations authorized military action in order to protect civilians from attacks perpetrated by Gadhafi loyalists.

The U.S. took the initial lead in the campaign, launching an air and sea assault on Gadhafi’s forces in order to protect civilians and provide cover to the Libyan rebels.

By the end of March, the U.S. assumed a secondary role in Libya, with the French and the British carrying out the bulk of the bombing missions. U.S. assets turned their focus toward support and intelligence.

When asked if the outcome was a vindication of his strategy, Obama said: “We did exactly what we said we were going to do in Libya.”

Obama’s response to the Gadhafi’s death allowed him to keep the focus on Libyan civilians and not face charges that he was seeking unseemly political gain by declaring victory.

Yet he wasn’t silent on that.

He offered credit to the united effort of intervention when Gadhafi was threatening what Obama warned would be a massacre.

“The United States and our friends and allies stopped Gadhafi’s forces in their tracks,” Obama said.

And he put Libya in his own context of Iraq, Afghanistan and the targeted death of alQaida leaders this way: “We see the strength of American leadership across the world.”

Biden on Thursday suggested the U.S. approach to Libya was the new way of waging war – less financial cost, less risk to Americans. In short, not Iraq.

“I think we’ll let analysts make observations about that comparison,” Obama spokesman Jay Carney said when asked about it later. “The president simply believes that the action that he took, that this administration took, working with our allies, working with NATO, working with our partners in the Arab world, was the right action for Libya.”

Foreign affairs remains Obama’s strong suit in the public’s eyes, with 59 percent approving of how he handles relationships with other countries and 64 percent approving his handling of terrorism, far outpacing his overall approval rating, according to a new AP-GfK poll.

But these issues are much less important to most Americans than the economy and unemployment.

Gadhafi’s death likely will have a fleeting impact on domestic politics, but a lasting one on a part of the world that matters to American interests.

And, as Obama said, to the Libyan people.

Creative Writing Center hosts personal statement workshops for students by ben scott correspondent

The West Virginia University Creative Writing Center will host a workshop to assist students in creating personal statements to better prepare them for the job application process.

The workshop, which will be held today at 5 p.m. in G02 Colson Hall, is open to students of all majors who need extra help preparing for the real world.

“This workshop is geared toward all students who are applying to professional schools, law school, medical school and scholarships,” said Dibs Roy, an English doctoral graduate student who works at the Center.

Personal statements are vital when applying for jobs or

graduate school, Roy said.

A good personal statement can help make an application more appealing to the people who review them.

Roy said personal statements should introduce the applicant as well as review the applicant’s goals.

Students don’t need to have a personal statement prepared before coming to the workshop, Roy said, but should come with ideas to include in their statements.

Tutors will be available at the personal statement workshop, to help students perfect their personal statements.

Since personal statements are often the first document seen in an application, Roy said the workshop can be vital to a student’s success.

“Our undergraduate peer

tutors can help students write papers for any subject; like biology, business, economics, English – anything,” Roy said.

“You can brainstorm with the tutors, and they can help you with ideas for your personal statement.”

English professor Ryan Claycomb will lecture prior to the workshop to discuss what makes a good personal statement.

“We hope this will become an annual event,” Roy said. “It’s a free service, so we hope to see and help as many students as we can.”

The Creative Writing Center is open every week, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

DC mayor seeks $15M for quake-hit on the National Cathedral in Washington WASHINGTON (AP) — Mayor Vincent Gray is seeking $15 million in emergency funding for restoration of Washington National Cathedral from the Federal Emergency Management Agency after touring the earthquake-damaged landmark.

Gray called the now-closed cathedral an “iconic monument” during a tour Thursday, noting it receives more than half a million visitors a year.

The cathedral and the Washington Monument sustained significant damage in the 5.8-magnitude quake that shook the nation’s capital and much of the East Coast on Aug. 23. Stonework fell off the cathedral’s towers, and other areas were severely cracked.

Initial repairs are expected to cost at least $15 million before the cathedral’s scheduled reopening Nov. 12.

The Interfaith Alliance said in a statement Thursday that the government should not use taxpayer money to build, ap repair or maintain religious Washington Mayor Vincent Gray, right, looks at one of the three, two-ton finials that were institutions.

Williams said the School of Medicine plans to achieve this by modifying the fouryear medical school curriculum to train approximately 10 students in a new rural medicine track.

“By increasing the students’ exposure time, it is anticipated they will be more comfortable,” he said. “There will be an emphasis on skills needed to practice in the underserved areas.”

financial aid to help with the cost of medical school, Williams said.

The final part of the grant will be used to create and implement a new interpersonal curriculum aiming to teach medical students how to communicate more successfully with their colleagues.

“This means to teach medical students what it means to work in teams and to give them opportunities to practice working with other health professions such as nursing, pharmacy and others in a more organized, purposeful way,” Williams said.

Interpersonal communication education, which is required for accreditation of the medical school, helps prepare students for future problems in the medical field so

they can successfully avoid them while practicing.

“Another big reason to improve team communication is that 80 percent of medical errors are cited as being at least in part due to errors in communication,” Williams said.

HSRA, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, aims to help the uninsured, isolated or medically vulnerable to receive health care services.

The organization provides financial help to every state and focuses on improving health care in rural areas.

The grant will help the WVU Department of Family Medicine raise awareness of this field and help medical students prepare for a career in it. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

For a fun, funky and refreshing look pull on a pair of bold colored pants to brighten your wardrobe during a season typically known for its dark hues.

Bright, colored pants are trending this season in colors such as purple, red, pink, blue and yellow.

If you’re not sure how to rock the look, start off by pairing colored pants with a nude blouse or a simple white button-up.

If you’re on the more daring side, match a bright pants with a top in the same color scheme.

Stefni Richards, international studies student, wears two different shades of red in her ensemble.

Richards said her trick is to “incorporate a neutral color to make it work.”

What does your wardrobe say about you?

Giovanni Sayles, a senior criminology student said he likes to stick out with his fashion choices to stick out.

Sayles said he sports a bowtie every Wednesday just because they are his longest days and he likes to be a little different on those days.

They way you dress yourself says a lot about your personality. When picking out new items for this fall and winter, think about how you can show who you are through your picks. Instead of following every trend to fit in, take a risk and put something on that speaks for you.

“It is good to be tasteful, but it’s even better to be memorable,” Sayles said.

Anna Prytz, a senior psychology and philosophy student said she describes her style as “chic, sexy but cool and kind of punk.”

A full-blown, punk rock look might come off as a little over the top. To add a little bit of a punch to your look without going too far, like mixing punk elements with other seasonal trends. Try pairing combat boots with leather leggings or a pair of skinny jeans.

You can also incorporate an edgy punk look into your wardrobe by donning some studs. Add your own studs to a pair of high-top sneakers to dress up a casual ensemble or pick up a pair of studded pumps to dress up a little black dress for a fun night out.

The great debate: having style versus what’s in style

by Christina GuTIERREZ A&E WRITER

There is a major difference between having style and being in style.

To be in style is to keep up with the latest trends and wear things according to their seasons. Personal style, on the other hand, is timeless.

As with any particular point in time, there are currently specific fashion trends that are considered “in.”

An obsession with tribal influenced designs, for example,

has become a huge sensation.

And that’s great - to take inspiration from some culture or time period to enhance a preexisting wardrobe and style.

However, sometimes this can get a little fuzzy. Shoppers often become blinded by “what’s in” and lose their own styles along the way.

Junior public relations student, Hilari Barton, has a bold style that is both unique and current.

“My style is kind of ‘80s, and that’s what I like. When I buy things, I don’t care if it’s ‘in style,’ it just has to work for me,” she said.

As young people with bright futures, it’s important we prepare every aspect of our lives for the future - including our wardrobes.

Although it may seem like a long time right now, our professional lives are not too far in the future.

Pieces that seem to be staples in college girls’ closets, like the cotton micro-mini and denim short shorts are probably not the most business-friendly looks.

Yes, it’s true we are still young and our careers are not quite here yet. But now is the time to start developing the

mentality that any situation we encounter or person we meet can potentially lead to a future opportunity.

So, just ask yourself - if what you’re choosing in the morning will get you noticed – in the right way – by a potential employer.

Though it may seem to, your future will not necessarily impede your fashion choices. It can also allow for pieces you may not have considered before.

A great pair of leather boots, for example, may be out of your intended price range.

But when you consider their

Michael Douglas’ son pleads guilty to drug charge NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Douglas’ imprisoned son pleaded guilty to a new drug charge Thursday, admitting that he managed to get drugs in prison even while he was cooperating with the government in a drug investigation.

Cameron Douglas, 32, pleaded guilty to a narcotics possession charge, saying: “God knows I’m sorry about this situation.” Although the charge carries the potential for a 20-year prison term, a plea deal with prosecutors recommended Douglas serve between a year and 1 1/2 years in prison. His sentencing was set for Dec. 21.

Michael Douglas, who was not in court, said in a statement his son’s offense involved a small user-quantity of drugs.

“Cameron accepts full responsibility for his conduct,” the father said. “While he has made much progress, he is still not cured. Most people and their families are able to address this illness privately and outside the spotlight. Unfortunately this has not been possible here for reasons completely outside of his control.

He thanks those who have rooted for his recovery and looks forward to the day when he will not disappoint.”

The plea came just two weeks after Cameron Douglas testified as a government

witness against a co-defendant facing drug charges. The testimony was part of the cooperation he promised when he was sentenced to five years in prison after his arrest in July 2009 for dealing methamphetamine from a high-end Manhattan hotel.

In his latest plea, the son of the Academy Award-winning actor admitted possessing drugs from May through last week. That’s when authorities found what appeared to be heroin and cocaine in his cell.

U.S. District Judge Richard Berman questioned whether security lapses at two federal prison facilities made it possible for Douglas to obtain drugs, and he added that he was worried that some-

The

one might be able to smuggle weapons into the prisons if they can get drugs in.

“I’m going to make a strong recommendation that he not go back to either of these facilities,” Berman said, referring to the Metropolitan Correction Center adjacent to the federal courthouse in lower Manhattan and the federal prison in Lewisburg, Pa.

The judge said he assumes prison facilities are safe and well managed when he sends prisoners to them and he has the expectation “that these types of things don’t go on.”

A prosecutor said the FBI was investigating to try to find out how the drugs were obtained. He said Douglas immediately accepted responsibility for his latest crime.

Competitions boost marketplace of ideas The fifth annual West Virginia Statewide Collegiate Business Plan Competition is currently underway.

The competition is broken down into two categories: “Innovation and Lifestyle” and Hospitality and Tourism.” Each category will award one winner with $10,000. Out of 118 initial entries from nine schools around the state, only 20 contestants are still in the running.

Having good business sense and strong work ethic are basic elements that allow every great

thinker, inventor and entrepreneur to enter the history books.

Competitions like the Collegiate Business Plan not only help promote the elements of business, but they keep the “marketplace of ideas” freeflowing, which is the only way to truly progress in society.

Although it was U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan who coined the phrase “the marketplace of ideas” in 1957, philosophers have been debating its importance in economics and society

for hundreds of years.

This ideology has been the backbone of free speech and a free market society.

The future of the American economy is uncertain. We are in an economic slump; unemployment is high and people are taking to the streets to protest the many flaws of our system.

But, the people must realize progress will come when new and better ideas are presented to the public. The business owners of tomorrow should

be given the opportunity to sharpen their skills for the cutthroat economy of today.

Those students who were reluctant to enter in this year’s competition should pay attention to the current list contestants and let their experiences guide even more young entrepreneurs to enter next time.

The competition is available to every college student in the state – not just business majors.

In fact, students from multiple backgrounds getting involved would only serve to

enhance the variety of ideas, making the competition much stronger and better development of the marketplace.

Previous finalists have presented ideas ranging from a Mountaineer Paintball Park to cafes and restaurants.

A West Virginia University senior and multidisciplinary study major, Ryan Nuzum is currently a semi-finalist in the Lifestyle and Innovation category. His team’s plan involves a new social networking site called Bounce.

“With Bounce, we focus on providing a new way of social awareness. Bounce is a mobile application and Internet website that allows people to know what’s going on, where it’s going on, and who’s there – all with a simple push of a button,” Nuzum said.

Students should pay attention to the competition and take notes. The future of our economy rests on the ideas of tomorrow. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Corporate takeover of democracy fuels Occupy protests

raleigh public record

An image of the American flag with corporate logos in place of stars.

michael levy columnist

Occupy Wall Street is not liberal.

It’s not about Democrats versus Republicans.

It’s about people versus corporations.

Corporations have way too much influence on our political system, and Americans – both liberal and conservative – get that and get that it’s a big problem.

Recently, key organizers of the Occupy protests have blasted groups like MoveOn and Democracy for America (Democrat supporters) for trying to coopt the movement.

Both Democrats and Republicans are bought and paid for by corporations. Neither can get elected without their support, so both write policies corporations want – even when they go against the interests of the American people.

A national poll last summer asked Americans whether Democrats and Republicans in Congress care more about what large corporations want or what’s best for average citizens. Two-thirds said Democrats favor corpora-

tions, and three-quarters said Republicans favor corporations.

We are ruled by a “corporatocracy,” and the heroes of both the left and the right are against this sort of crony capitalism.

A few years ago, I happened to be reading Noam Chomsky’s “Failed States” while listening to the audiobook version of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged.”

You would be hard-pressed to find two authors further apart on the political spectrum than Chomsky and Rand. Yet, as I was taking in their philosophies, I kept returning to the conclusion that both would be enraged by the same failing of our political system: Corporate influence corrupts the democratic process, leading to distorted markets and policies that work against the American people.

And, indeed, just as Democratic groups have tried to coopt the Occupy protests, Republican groups have tried to co-opt Rand’s message.

As Donald Luskin, author of “I am John Galt,” notes, “The main villain in ‘Atlas Shrugged’ is actually a capitalist, James Taggart ... (who), for the purposes of his own crony capitalism, co-opts the government.

So what you really have in ‘Atlas Shrugged’ is an unholy alliance of corrupt crony capitalists and corrupt government.”

Those of us on the left and on the right need to come together and get behind the idea that corporations have too much influence on our government. That’s what the Occupy protests are all about.

So, how did corporations get all this power and why is it a problem?

In 1886, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations would be legally treated as people.

The problem is, while corporations are entitled to all the rights of people, they are profoundly different than people in important ways.

Corporations are legally obligated to maximize profit. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable by their shareholders, which is to say, management will be changed to one that will maximize profit.

Additionally, corporations are intrinsically amoral. The executives of a corporation may be good people, but the actions of the corporation itself cannot put any interest ahead of making as much money as possible.

If a corporation breaks a law, it cannot be sent to jail, so decisions to break laws are reduced to cost-benefit analyses. If the chance of getting caught times the cost of getting caught are less than potential profit that could be gained by breaking a law, ac-

Graphic by Michael Levy

cording to the logic of a corporation, they should break the law!

While corporations are different from people in important ways, they are also massively more powerful than people. Of the 100 largest economies on Earth, only 47 are countries. The other 53 are corporations.

Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations could make unlimited contributions to independent groups that advertise on behalf of political

campaigns. As a result, those groups spent $305 million in 2010, compared to just $69 million in 2006.

As Annie Leonard, creator of the brilliant “Story of Stuff” series, puts it, “I am all for free speech. If every shareholder and employee at Exxon wants to personally support some oil lobbyist running for Senate, that’s their right ... That’s democracy in action. But ... if the top 100 corporations decided to throw

in just 1 percent of their profits, they could outspend every candidate for President, House, and Senate combined. Good luck having your free speech heard over that.”

The US Constitution begins, “We the people ...”

It’s time our democracy be returned to its rightful owners.

That’s what Occupy Wall Street is all about.

Not Democrat, Republican or corporation, but we the people.

Reforming the US tax code is a start to fiscal recovery jason febery daily Illini uwire

Our country needs to have a serious conversation about restoring fiscal discipline. For this to happen, both sides must leave their talking points at the door. Republicans need to place their oath of office above their pledges to never raise taxes, and Democrats need to be willing to consider proposals that do not disproportionately thump the richest of Americans.

Despite what you may have heard, taxes are not spiraling out of control. Quite the opposite. Last year, federal tax receipts fell to their lowest levels since 1950, now just 14.9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) compared to the postWorld War II average of 18 to 19 percent. This may not seem like a big drop, but the difference amounts to approximately $560

DA

billion – enough to cut deficits in half or fund annual Social Security and Medicare shortfalls in perpetuity.

There are a few reasons for the drop. Some are structural and beyond immediate control, like the collapse of tax revenue when the economy slipped into recession. Others are the result of short-sighted public policy – namely, the Democrats’ extension of the Bush tax cuts and their gradual chipping away at payroll tax rates.

Coupled with a decrease in tax revenue, the spike in federal spending – both as a result of automatic stabilizers and discretionary attempts at stimulus – has resulted in some of the largest deficits in years. And, while I don’t buy into the doomsday predictions of those who think soaring levels of debt will push America to the brink of insolvency, as it has with Greece and Portugal, there is no doubt the path we are on is unsustainable.

A sensible path forward will require a combination of spend-

ing cuts and tax increases. If you believe either could succeed in isolation, well, I’ve got some mortgage-backed securities you might want to buy.

In all seriousness, the first step should be to revamp our broken tax code. Currently, a dollar made from labor is taxed at a much higher rate than a dollar made from investment, thanks to the egregious carried-interest loophole that allows billionaire investors like Warren Buffett – and 26.5 percent of households making more than $1 million a year – to get away with paying lower tax rates than secretaries, teachers and police officers.

Progressive taxation is also undermined by payroll taxes.

Because the portion of taxable income is capped at $106,800, payroll taxes are actually regressive: The rich pay a much smaller share of their overall income in payroll taxes than those in lower income brackets.

The last major problem with our tax code is corporate lobbyists have been able to carve out

a whole host of loopholes, allowing the companies they represent to pay little to nothing in taxes. Care for a few examples?

In 2008, Goldman Sachs paid only 1.1 percent of its income in taxes, even though it earned a profit of $2.3 billion.

The following year, Chevron received a $19 million refund from the Internal Revenue Service despite profits exceeding $10 billion.

And, last year, Bank of America received a $1.9 billion tax refund despite taking home $4.4 billion in profits.

I’m more than happy to see American companies make tons of money – that’s one of the great things about capitalism. But if companies want the rights of personhood, when it comes to protections under the law, then they should bear the responsibilities of personhood, as well.

Why should corporations be exempt from paying the same level of taxes as the rest of us?

So, what to do?

Instead of distinguishing be-

tween different income types – income from labor, income from capital gains and corporate income – I would treat them all equally.

All realized income above approximately $50,000 (the exact number should depend on relative costs of living) should be taxed at the flat rate of 25 percent, without exceptions or deductions.

This means that Warren Buffett would pay the same rate on the last dollar of his considerable income as I would pay on the first dollar of mine above $50,000.

I can’t see how things could be much fairer than this.

To put these numbers into perspective, a middle-class family making $75,000 a year would be responsible for paying $6,250 in taxes – about 8.3 percent of their total income.

After the loopholes have been removed, wealthy individuals would end up paying no more than 25 percent of their total income in federal taxes, a much

lower rate than is seen in any other developed country with the exceptions of Andorra, Monaco and Switzerland.

The benefits of this new tax code cannot be overstated. It would be simple without being simplistic, progressive without being unfair.

Not only would it save millions of hours spent filling out complicated tax forms and reduce the labor need for IRS agents, this plan would increase revenues back to approximately 19 percent of GDP – the upper end of historical averages – once exempted income is taken into account.

By itself, adjusting the tax code so that it is more progressive – and less susceptible to lobbyist-driven loopholes – will not eliminate soaring budget deficits.

But it will provide a strong foundation for reviving the middle class, kick-starting demand and restoring our economy’s footing so that it will once again be the envy of the world.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, if you detach, you will see how many choices you have -- be it your mood or life decisions.

If you’re feeling confused, know that you are not ready to commit just yet. When you’re ready to act, you move with clarity and incisiveness. Others know that you mean business. If you are single, a friendship could develop into much more, if you so choose. If you’re attached, because of a newfound openness, the two of you enjoy your life together. Count on LEO. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You could be somewhat disoriented this morning, but by the p.m. you are direct and say what you feel. Be more serious-minded. You’ll get results. Your strong personality is a given. Let others express themselves, too. Tonight: With a loved one.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You could be happiest close to home. Your ability to make the best out of difficult circumstances allows greater give-andtake. Still, you might want to take an active stand. Pace yourself. Tonight: The slower the better.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Return calls, but don’t forget to follow through on your to-do list. Open up conversations, knowing what could happen if you and others make assumptions.

Work with real facts, even if you might be uncomfortable. Tonight: Out and about.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Be careful with a tendency to be possessive

and touchy. Clearly you have a very different style from many, even in the workplace. Emote a little less, keeping your anger at bay. You will find the appropriate avenue to express your feelings in the next 24 hours. Tonight: Do something special for a loved one.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Your spunk is admirable, leaving many people behind. Is that what you really want to do? Competition is fun, but if you always come in first place, could that be affecting your ability to relate successfully with a key associate or loved one?

Tonight: Make it special, as only you can.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You might wonder which way to go with a problematic situation. At the present, the best you can do is understand where your strong reactions are coming from. Detach and then approach a situation from a more centered point of view. Tonight: Take a break from the here and now.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH A meeting gets an important project off on the right foot. You could be surprised by all the enthusiasm that surrounds you.

You might not be sure which way to go.

Allow greater give-and-take. You could feel that finally you have the support and team you need. Tonight: TGIF. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH A must appearance could color your plans and affect your mood. You could be putting 100 percent into what you are concerned about but still fall flat. Sometimes, when there is too much focus and an implicit demand, there can be a backfire. Re-

lax a little. Take a break. Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You will want to do something very different from in the past. Detach -- you will see a situation in a different light. However, you might become so easygoing that you might not have any desire to deal with the situation at all. Tonight: Feed your mind.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH A key associate makes all the difference in what happens. You see a matter very differently. Try to avoid an argument at all costs. Your perspective evolves the more you talk. Do understand that you don’t have the control you might desire. Tonight: Dinner for two.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You might want to defer and honor what is happening with a key person in your life. Today it isn’t about you. Recognize what is going on behind the scenes.

Your willingness to go with the flow will be long remembered. Tonight: Put your feet up.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Continue handling the little items that someone is allowing to drop by the wayside.

Think through an issue with care. Honor what is happening within. When you feel that the timing is with you, move forward and start a conversation. Tonight: Out with some pals.

‘The Crucible’ opens to packed house

by Ashley Hite a&E Writer

West Virginia University’s Division of Theatre and Dance had its opening night for Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” Thursday at the Downtown Metropolitan Theatre.

The show was directed by Lee Blair, assistant professor of the WVU Division of Theatre and Dance, and the cast members consisted of undergraduate and graduate students in WVU’s Theatre and Dance program.

According to Professor Joshua Williamson, more than 80 students are involved in the production for academic credit toward their major or minor, and more than 1,000 WVU students will see the show for academic credit as a part of the University’s General Education Curriculum.

The cast includes Jack Roberts in the role of Reverend Parris, Margo Matty as Abigail Williams, and Taylor Horst as Betty Parris. Greg Holt and Audrey Ahern play John and Elizabeth Proctor, respectively.

“The Crucible” is a 1 play

written by Arthur Miller in 1951 in response to McCarthyism.

The United States, at the time, was questioning citizens in an attempt to discover communists.

They asked citizens to betray their friends and neighbors. Miller himself was questioned by the House of Representatives Committee and held in contempt.

Miller considered the experience as a witch hunt, and from it, wrote “The Crucible.”

Set in the during of the witch trials of Salem, Massachusetts, the play focuses on the betrayals and concealment within the puritan society.

In the play, a group of young puritan girls are caught dancing in the woods with a Barbados slave in an attempt to raise spirits, which results in one of the younger girls entering a coma-like state.

In order to protect their names, one of the group accuses an ex-lover’s wife of “trafficking demons.”

It quickly becomes a scenario in which nobody is safe from accusation, and the citizens turn against each other in

order to save themselves.

The play is now considered an American theatre classic, and is studied in high schools and universities across the nation.

“I remember I read it back in middle school,” said freshman biology student Alexis Markwood.

The play won the Antoinette Perry (Tony) Award for Best Play in 1953.

The performance showcased scenic designs by theatre Professor Robert Klingelhoefer and spectacular costumes designed by Alex Vazquez.

Last night’s showing was the first of four scheduled performances. There will be two more showings today and Saturday 7:30 p.m. at the Downtown Metropolitan Theatre.

An encore show will be performed on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Tickets are available for the remaining performances at www.ticketmaster.com, the Creative Arts Center or Mountainlair Box Offices, or by calling 304-293-SHOW. Kristen Basham/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Gang Gang Dance and Prince Rama bring unique sounds to 123 tonight

by Charles young Associate A&E Editor

Gang Gang Dance, the Manhattan-based five-piece experimental electronic music group, will bring their unique percussion-centered sound to the 123 Pleasant Street stage tonight at 10.

Opening up the evening’s festivities will be kindredspirits Prince Rama, who are sure to set the tone with their psychedelic and tribal-influenced songs.

Gang Gang Dance, which formed in 2001, began when electronic musician Brian Degraw met drummer Tim DeWitt while the two were playing in the Washington,

D.C,-based indie-rock band The Cranium.

The Cranium dissolved after making only one album and its members began to explore other projects.

Degraw and DeWitt met again years later while playing in various underground bands in New York, after recruiting old friend Lizzi Bougatsos to provide vocals, began making music together as Gang Gang Dance.

Since their inception, Gang Gang has released five albums, including 2011’s critically acclaimed “Eye Contact,” three EPs and a handful of singles.

With each subsequent release the group has expanded

and changed its sound, shifting from a loosely based sound-collective that produced challenging avantnoise records to a tightly wound sound machine aimed at exploring deep grooves and electronic percussion sounds.

Prince Rama, who was signed to Animal Collective’s Paw Tracks label in 2011, combine a diverse range of international and cross-cultural influences together to create one reverb-washed collection of psychedelia.

Their Paw Tracks debut, “Shadow Temple,” was recorded partially in a 135-yearold church and partially in a cabin owned by one of author Kurt Vonnegut’s grandsons,

Tennis concludes DA SPORTS STAFF PICKS Pineview Dental Care fall season with Sponsored byDrs. Adam J. Myers & William C. Clark ITA Regionals By robert kreis sports writer

The West Virginia women’s tennis team will travel to the ITA Atlantic Regional in Norfolk, Va., this weekend to compete in its final match of the fall season.

WVU head coach Tina Samara will send four Mountaineers to participate in the event, which will feature 25 schools.

The ITA Atlantic Regionals will feature a handful of schools the Mountaineers have already seen this season, including Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Virginia and Marshall.

Sophomore Melis Tanik will play against Tina Tehrani of Georgetown in the 64-player singles draw.

Tanik has been the most successful Mountaineer this season.

Joining Tanik in singles will be junior Emily Mathis, who will take on Liberty’s Cameron Richard.

Tanik and Mathis’ matches are set to start on Saturday.

Freshman Ikttesh Chahal and sophomore Mary Chupa will begin their competitions Friday morning.

Chahal will go up against Longwood’s Malin Allgurin.

Chupa has a particularly tough draw, beginning the tournament facing the No. 4-seeded Alex Smyth of Richmond.

As for the doubles side of the tournament, which starts today, Tanik and Mathis will team up to face George Washington’s Mimi Hamling and Zoe Krohn. Chahal and Chupa will also compete in doubles action against Liberty’s Cameron Richard and Brittany Yang.

After a tough tournament on the road at Georgia last week, Samara wants to see her team out competing, but knows playing top-tier schools like Georgia, Virginia and Virginia Tech will provide her team with a foundation upon which to build.

“If you are not trying to compete with the best, then why are you trying to (compete)?” Samara said. “If you are a Division I coach, and you don’t have a goal like that, you don’t deserve to be a Division I coach.

“If you are not trying to compete with the best, then why do you even want to do it?”

Samara hopes her players bring some of the experience they gained this season to compete at the ITA Atlantic Regional this weekend.

“Hopefully, (the team) took away from the (Georgia Tournament) and will bring it to (the ITA Atlantic Regional),” Samara said. “There will be plenty of good players; hopefully (the team) can bring some experience.”

Swimming travels to Penn Club sports teams wrap up another busy week State for weekend meet by john fehrens

Sports correspondent

by robert kreis sports writer

The West Virginia men and women’s swimming and diving teams will embark on their first road trip of the season, traveling to State College, Pa., to take on Penn State this weekend at the McCoy Natatorium.

Competition will begin Saturday at noon. The Mountaineers will arrive and leave Penn State Saturday, which is always tough, according to West Virginia head coach Vic Riggs.

“It is always a challenge when you do a day trip,” he said. “We are going to be getting up early, and we have a long bus trip.”

The Mountaineers are fresh off of a victory in the West Virginia State Games, which was held at the WVU Natatorium.

Although West Virginia showed dominance in the competition, Riggs hopes the games will continue for years to come.

“I know the kids from all the programs and all the coaches really enjoyed it,” Riggs said.

“Hopefully, it is a meet that will become a tradition for all the schools and has the opportunity to showcase what we have here in the state.”

With it being so early in the season, Riggs just wants his team to take it one meet at a time and get better after each competition.

“It is early in the season, so our expectations as a staff is to get better every meet and culminate it into our best performances in the Big East Conference championships and hopefully get a couple kids or relays into the NCAA (tournament),” he said.

Both the men and women’s teams are very deep this year.

The squads are littered with experienced seniors as well as underclassmen who are making an immediate impact on the teams.

Poel started her Mountaineer diving career with a new school record in the 1-meter, posting a score of 286.43.

In Riggs’ mind, it is the ability of the program’s seniors to set examples for the underclassmen that is the key to West Virginia’s success in the pool.

“The (seniors) being able to communicate to the underclassmen about the program, the challenges of balancing academics with travels and schedule is real important,” he said. “And, of course, passing down the tradition we are trying to build here as a swimming and diving program.”

When the Mountaineers take on Penn State, Riggs hopes to get a better understanding of where his team stands at this early part of the season. He will be looking to find any weaknesses the Mountaineers may have and correct them quickly with two Big East opponents right around the corner.

“Penn State is going to be a big challenge for us – both men and women,” Riggs said. “I am looking for us to go in there, compete well, see how many events we can win and get a good gauge of what we can improve upon.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Many of West Virginia’s club sports programs were back in action this weekend.

Women’s lacrosse, the Mountaineer swim club, and men’s basketball all had their opening games of the season.

The men’s hockey team stayed at home last week, facing a tough opponent in No. 6 Delaware. The first game slipped away from the team losing 6-4.

WVU lost again to Delaware Saturday, 3-2.

Zack LaDuke was the highest goal scorer on the team, netting two goals in the first game and one in the last.

Next weekend, the team has back-to-back road games against Towson University and No. 25 West Chester University.

West Virginia women’s softball made history last week, not only beating Potomac State for the first time in club history, but, sweeping them. Freshman Kelly Cup and graduate student Danielle Eppinger played big roles in the wins. Next on the schedule is a threegame series against York this weekend.

The baseball club faced an unfamiliar opponent on Sunday in Maryland.

West Virginia hasn’t played the Terrapins in the last four years, but that unfamiliarity made for great competition as both games were settled by one run.

Maryland took game one of the doubleheader, 4-5. It was freshman Garrett Dissin’s two hits, two RBIs and save that gave the Mountaineers their first win against the Terps, 2-1 in the second game.

The swimming club hit the water for the first time this year at Akron’s Swim Club Invitational. West Virginia only had 11 swimmers on the team

against the Slippery Rock and Akron teams. The Mountaineers won every event, despite being less than half the size of their opponents.

West Virginia had to take second in the invitational due to its size.

Because the team is so small it means the workload is really spread around – and senior Gabe Wilson knows that best. Not only did Wilson win all three of his single events, he went on to help win the 200yard medley, 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle relays.

Women’s lacrosse got off

to a rough start in UNCW’s Summer Blues Tournament.

They fell to the tough No. 8 JMU Dukes 14-8 but then rebounded with a 13-10 to win against Radford. The Mountaineers ended the tournament with losses to ECU and USC. This year marked the inaugural season for the Men’s basketball club program. They will be taking part in JMU’s Duke Dog Classic Saturday and Sunday. Players to watch out for are Ben Wise and Marshall Dressler. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

RIFLE

West Virginia faces No. 6 Army in home opener

BY ALEX SIMS SPORTS WRITER

The No. 2 West Virginia rifle team will be back on the range this Saturday for its home opener against No. 6 Army (2-0, 2-0).

The Mountaineers (2-0, 1-0) moved up a spot in this week’s College Rifle Coaches Association poll, after a few veterans joined forces with some new faces to shoot a nation-best 4,667 in Nebraska.

Despite shooting the top score in the nation, WVU is still focused on improving.

“We really aren’t taking too much notice of other teams’

scores,” said West Virginia head coach Jon Hammond. “We want to just keep pushing on and keep working on what we’ve been doing: our technique, our approach and our general way shooting; and I think good scores will come in the future.”

Before the 4,667-4,610 victory over the Cornhuskers in their conference opener, the Mountaineers began the season with a 4,664-4,587 drubbing of Air Force.

Junior standout Petra Zublasing picked up where she left off last season, shooting the top overall scores in both matches.

The Italian National Team

member is happy about her performance over the opening weekend, but is more focused on using early matches, such as Nebraska and Army, to prepare for the postseason.

“I was not too happy about the score; I was more happy about how I was shooting and how everything was going in the right direction,” Zublasing said.

“For us, the only competition that really matters is the NCAA’s.

In these little matches right now, you try what you learned in practice and see if it works or not.”

Aside from the impact made by veterans like Zublasing and seniors Justin Pentz and Michael

Kulbacki, several newcomers have made an early impact and will look to continue that success against Army.

Freshman Taylor Ciotola shot a combined score of 1,165 – good for third place overall – in his first collegiate match against Air Force.

Then, freshmen Meelis Kiisk and Thomas Kyanko both shot personal bests against Nebraska in air rifle and smallbore, respectively.

“I’d definitely say I was a little surprised,” Hammond said of his young shooters. “But they’ve been training hard, and they have the talent, and I think

Volleyball travels to Louisville for road test

By Sebouh Majarian Sports Writer

After an emotional win in the Backyard Brawl over Pittsburgh, the West Virginia volleyball team faces its toughest test of the year as it fights to keep its Big East Conference tournament hopes alive.

The Mountaineers (5-13, 3-4) will travel to Louisville (154, 7-0) to battle last season’s Big East champions before taking on Cincinnati (13-8, 5-2) as they try to climb out of No. 10 place in the conference.

The task is easier said than done since the Cardinals come into the weekend as the top team in the Big East, while the Bearcats are third.

“We can do a lot of great things for ourselves,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “The most important thing going into the weekend is we keep our momentum going and play our best volleyball.”

Another obstacle facing West Virginia is they have yet to win on the road in six attempts, while Louisville and Cincinnati are both undefeated at home. The Cardinals are perfect in seven attempts, while the Bearcats have won all three of their home contests.

“It’ll be great for us. It’ll be great for our mental fortitude to be an environment like that and still have to keep competing,” Kramer said. “It’s what college athletics is about.”

The Cardinals are at the top of the Big East both offensively and defensively, ranking in the top three in six of the seven major statistical categories.

To West Virginia’s credit, they rank higher than both teams in digs per set and continued to be ranked in the top 50 nationally, coming in No. 37 this week with 16.89 digs per set.

The Mountaineers are hop-

there will be more personal bests throughout the year, as well.”

Meanwhile, Army has been on-point as of late and will likely pose a threat to the Mountaineers as they head into Morgantown.

The Black Knights shot 4,663 in their season debut against Memphis, their highest score since the 2007-08 season.

After its successful season opener, Army turned around and defeated No. 9 Ole Miss 4,649-4,625.

“Army will definitely be a greater test for us this weekend,” Hammond said. “It will be a good match situation with a

bit match pressure, and like any match, we want to get the win.

But, at the same time, we don’t want to be focused on that. We’re focused on just doing what we want to do and shooting well, and if we do all those things, the scores will be higher.”

In the early season, WVU’s opponent downrange takes a backseat to preparation for the postseason and posting the highest scores possible.

“We don’t necessarily want to beat Army,” Zublasing said. “We want to beat all of the United States.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Women’s soccer

Mountaineers try to clinch division title in Backyard Brawl

BY NICK ARTHUR SPORTS WRITER

Mallory Bracken/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Senior Michelle Kopecky and freshman Evyn McCoy block a spike during West Virginia’s match against Notre Dame last week. ing to build off the hard-fought win over Pittsburgh last week, earning a 3-2 decision while taking the rivalry game for the second consecutive year.

“We talked about what it does for our season, and how it keeps us on track for our goal,” Kramer said. “It doesn’t do us any good if we don’t get back in the gym and keep working on being our best, and that’s what we need to focus on.”

Kramer liked what she saw in the three sets the team took from Pittsburgh. The Mountaineers’ offense looked in sync as the team posted hitting percentages of .150 in the second set, .244 in the third and .160 in the finale.

“The offense looked really great, again we were in a pretty stressful environment, and we

worked really well together,” Kramer said.

West Virginia faced a similar situation last season playing both teams in back-to-backs.

The team hopes for a different outcome this year after getting swept by Louisville and pushing Cincinnati to five before the Bearcats completed their comeback.

WVU hasn’t played backto-back games since the Kentucky Invitational in September. Kramer hopes playing consecutive days will give the team better rhythm.

The Mountaineers have yet to record a victory over the Cardinals in the seven meetings between the two schools. The Mountaineers have had their struggles with Cincinnati, too, going 2-11 all-time.

Courtney Robison, a Shepherdsville, Ky., native, will return to her home state after helping the team with her emotion and fire in the Backyard Brawl.

Robison finished the game

second on the team with 17 digs.

The team is battling the wear and tear of the season, as freshmen Halle Kearney is still dayto-day with an ankle injury, while some of the other girls have started to sport protective sleeves and pads.

Cincinnati was the Big East runner-up a year ago, after losing to Louisville 3-0 in the championship game held at the Fitzgerald Field House in Pittsburgh.

Kramer aspires to get her program to consistently be one of the better teams in the conference. She hopes one day to lead the Mountaineers to its first conference tournament appearance.

“We need to get to a point where we’re one of those four or five teams that are always in the conversation of competing for the championship,” Kramer said. “That’s where we want to be.” sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

Winning a Big East Conference Division championship is difficult to accomplish. But, the No. 17 West Virginia women’s soccer team is one win away from doing just that.

The Mountaineers will travel to Pittsburgh Friday in their final regular season game.

The Panthers have struggled throughout the year and have just one win in conference play.

But when two rivals get together, anything can happen.

“They have some dangerous players that can do some dangerous things,” said West Virginia women’s soccer head coach Nikki IzzoBrown. “Anytime you set out for a season, you have goals set. The girls really wanted to win the regular season Big East Championship, so I think that’s important.”

The outcome of the game will ultimately decide the scheduling for the Big East tournament taking place next week. So, the game against Pittsburgh has major postseason implications.

“It’s important for seeding when you go into postseason play,” Izzo-Brown said. “Seeding is critical, and we want to put ourselves in the best opportunity possible.”

The success for West Virginia has been aided by contributions from a variety of players. Twelve Mountaineers have scored goals in 2011.

“When you have scoring coming from every different angle, it’s very difficult to deal with a team,” Izzo-Brown said.

“That’s important for the balance of our team.”

Even though the Mountaineers have held their opponents to 1.06 goals per game in 2011

Junior defender Bry McCarthy lines up for a shot against St. John’s earlier this season. and nearly tripled their opponents in corner kicks, the team is still focused on the task at hand.

“As a staff, we’re making sure that everyone is doing their job,” Izzo-Brown said.

A win on Friday would give West Virginia 10 Big East victories this season. It would be the first time in program history this has occurred. Coach Izzo-Brown feels this team may stand out from prior squads.

“Anytime a team wins 10, then they’re doing something special,” she said. “Looking back, no other team has done that, so I do believe this teamhas done something super special.”

Much like last season, the Mountaineers have been particularly successful late in the regular season. West Virginia has won four games in a row, and 11 of its last 12 matches.

However, they are never satisfied.

“We just want to keep it going into the postseason,” IzzoBrown said. “We’re trying to accomplish something that a prior team hasn’t done.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 10 has shown offensive success against every opponent, including No. 1 LSU. Wide receivers Stedman Bailey and Ivan McCartney combined for zero catches in last season’s outing. Now, those two have provided Geno Smith with two viable options to go along with Tavon Austin.

Dana Holgorsen’s team plays with much more confidence and force than former head coach Bill Stewart’s team ever possessed. When they step on the field, they feel they are superior to every team in the Big East.

The importance of Friday’s game against the Orange can’t be summed up in a column. A disappointing loss to Syracuse would place the Mountaineers back in the same situation they faced a season ago – which is unacceptable.

Halfway through the 2011 season, the West Virginia Mountaineers are games ahead of the team from a year ago.

West Virginia must fare better in 2011

Much like last season, the Mountaineers enter their game against Syracuse having won five of their first six games and their first Big East Conference game, and they are the clear favorites to win the Big East Conference Championship.

West Virginia is hoping what follows the above mentioned sequence is more rewarding than what occurred last season.

In 2010, the Mountaineers were upset by a 4-2 Syracuse team and were eventually beat out by Connecticut for an appearance in a BCS bowl game.

While faced with a very similar situation, West Virginia cannot afford to have a repeat performance this season.

Why? Even though West Virginia enters its game against Syracuse with the same record as last year, the record doesn’t do the talent of this year’s team justice.

The Mountaineers are a far better team in 2011. First-year head coach Dana Holgorsen has implemented an “Air Raid” offense capable of scoring with any team in the nation.

More importantly, quarterback Geno Smith has improved. Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone praised Smith’s development in his weekly press conference Tuesday.

A strong performance from Smith will be essential Friday to ensure a West Virginia victory. In last year’s game, Smith threw three interceptions – one on the third play of the game – and was visibly not in rhythm throughout the game.

Throughout six games last season, West Virginia was averaging 28 points per game and struggled to beat opponents such as Marshall.

The 2011 version of the Mountaineers is clearly more talented.

The team is averaging more than 40 points per game and

No. 11 West Virginia travels to Syracuse in search of second Big East Conference victory

By Michael Carvelli sports editor

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said his players have been improving each weel of the season and will eventually play at the highest level possible.

Junior quarterback Geno Smith has done just that so far this season, but will look to make more progress against a Syracuse team that beat him at home last season and forced him to throw three interceptions.

“I hope Syracuse prepares for last year’s offense,” Holgorsen said. “That would be good for us. We’re coaching them (the players). Geno had good coaches here last year, too. You just have to keep working with them. He’s will-

ing to work hard every week, and get better every week.”

Holgorsen noticed the biggest difference in last year’s game against the Orange was the turnovers. After watching film this week, the first-year coach saw Syracuse coming at opposing offenses with a lot of pressure. If Smith can get rid of the ball to his playmakers

quickly, the offense won’t have the problems it had last year.

“They have the potential to be really good this year,” Holgorsen said of the Syracuse defense. “It’s not the same team.

It’s the same scheme, the same coordinator, the same that’s trying to be accomplished.”

Smith will have to communicate with his offense and use his ability to recognize what the defense is showing to reduce the turnovers and put the team in a good position to succeed.

“I think we have a fairly good idea of what they’re going to do,” Holgorsen said. “If they come out and do something different, then that’s why coaches are paid to do their job. They figure out what they’re doing and try to adjust and take advantage of what

their plan was coming into the game.”

Despite Syracuse’s poorly ranked pass and rush defense, Holgorsen and the team realized the Orange hav played against some pretty tough offenses such as USC, Wake Forest and Toledo. The coaches feel the Syracuse defense gave WVU some good opportunities on film to see what it does against spread offenses.

The Orange is also getting some defenders back from injury this week, and the offense will have to key in on those guys and know where they are at all times.

“They’re getting one of their pass attackers back. No. 99 (Chandler Jones),” Holgorsen said. “What I’ve seen on film from last year and their first game this year, (he) is as good

as any defensive end in the league. Getting him back will cause problems.”

Opponents have averaged almost 400 yards of offense per game against Syracuse. West Virginia has gained more than 400 yards of offense in every single game this season, except for the first game against Marshall that was stopped early due to weather conditions. The Mountaineers have gotten more than 600 yards of offense in two of their last five games as well.

Smith and the offense have all the motivation for this year’s game to prepare better and come out fast. The questions will be: Have they learned from the mistakes of last year and will they play to their full potential this year? james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Men’s soccer hopes to notch win over Providence by amit batra sports writer

www.thedaonline.com

Following its upset over No. 1 Connecticut earlier in the week, the No. 18 West Virginia men’s soccer team is looking to keep its momentum going Friday night when it hosts Providence.

“The win against UConn means nothing if we don’t come out and win against Providence,” said junior midfielder Shadow Sebele. “We’re going to come out hard with confidence that we just beat the No. 1 team in the nation, and hopefully do the same thing against Providence.”

The game will be nationally televised on FOX Soccer Channel.

It will be the Mountaineers’ second consecutive home game as they look to continue to build on their NCAA tournament resume.

The Friars come into the game against the Mountaineers at 8-5-1 and 2-2-1 in the Big East Conference. They have a 5-2 record at home and are 3-2-1 on the road.

After a loss starting the season against Northeastern, the Friars got back on the right track, winning six of their next seven games – including five shutouts.

In Big East play, the Friars struggled early, winning just one of their first five conference games. They’ve won their last two games against league opponents, outscoring Seton Hall and Pittsburgh by a combined 7-1.

The Mountaineers will have to focus on Friar freshman midfielder Marcos Ugarte, who scored two goals in a shutout win against Cincinnati. He has also scored in the loss to Marquette and the win against Se-

Ugarte is tied for the team lead in goals with sophomore Greg Davis.

The stingy Providence defense is led by senior keeper Jhojan Obando. Obando has started 13 games and recorded six shutouts while allowing one goal per game.

West Virginia comes into the game at a 8-5-1 mark as well, along with a 4-2 Big East record.

They must continue to move forward against a talented Providence team.

Head coach Marlon LeBlanc also feels the win against UConn will have to be looked past quickly to move forward for Providence.

“This win can’t define our season,” he said. “What a loud, boisterous crowd we had (Tuesday). We need them again on Friday night on national TV. The message to our guys was, ‘great result, but we have another game on Friday.’” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
