FallFest Fever

3 Doors Down

The return of West Virginia University students marks a special time of year in the Morgantown area – FallFest. Monday was WVU’s 16th annual FallFest. This year’s estimated turnout and headlining performance were drastically underestimated. Although 3 Doors down was the intended crowd pleaser, this year’s surprise hits were
neither the opening nor closing acts. Colbie Caillat took the stage at 6:30 p.m., opening the show. Although there were a few hundred people in the audience to hear her opening song, “Falling for You,” the crowd increased with the following acts. Although Caillat had a group devoted fans, it was unanimously decided that her soft, sweet tunes were not exactly the kind of rag-

Judge denies injunction to uphold fracking ban By Charles young Associate city Editor
A Monongalia County Circuit Court judge ruled against Morgantown City Council’s ban on hydraulic fracturing. Judge Susan B. Tucker said in her Aug. 12 ruling that the City of Morgantown does not have right to regulate oil and gas drilling in the area because their authority is preempted by the West Virginia Department
of Environmental Protection who have “exclusive control of this area of law.” Tucker’s ruling overturns the ordinance issued during the June 21 council meeting, banning any operations using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, within the city limits and within one mile of the city limits. The fracking process uses fluids pumped into a well deep underground to create frac-
tures in the rock, allowing for the extraction of natural gas. Critics of the process have expressed concerns about its possible environmental impact, while its advocates say the process is well-regulated and carries little risk. The plaintiffs, Northeast Natural Energy, LLC, and Energy Ern-out Properties, LLC, companies involved in the operation of Marcellus gas wells in the Morgantown area,
filed a complaint against the city in county circuit court on July 22. In their complaint the two companies questioned the constitutionality of the ban and requested a temporarily injunction to block the ordinance. On Aug. 25, Monongalia County Circuit Judge Russell Clawges denied the injunction request, temporally upholding the ban. Bill Bryne, former mayor
WVU organizations welcome students by Jessica Lear Staff Writer
Throughout the first week of the semester, West Virginia University organizations are welcoming students with informational booths in the Mountainlair. The booths, part of WVU’s Welcome Week, contain information about various services students can use and organizations they can join on campus. “A lot of the various support services are set up throughout the whole week just to let students know about their service,” said Regan Bruni, Coordinator of Student Affairs Retention and Research. Welcome Week aims to make freshman feel comfortable at WVU as well as urges them to get involved with the different activities offered at the University. “As a freshman, I think if you come in and get involved early you really start to learn the value and importance of being a part of something,” said Mariana Matthews, a graduate student in public administration. Monday kicked off the start of Welcome Week with University radio station U92 outside of the Mountainlair and booths dedicated to different organizations

who was in office when the ban was passed, said he and members of the council were concerned about the proximity of drilling operations to the city’s water intake. Byrne said he felt the ban was necessary since state legislators had not enacted any laws regulating the process. “We just didn’t think this was an appropriate site for such a well,” he said. In her ruling, Tucker called
the city’s defense of its ban “unpersuasive,” and pointed to numerous state laws regulating and overseeing the process. “The provisions clearly indicate that this area of law is exclusively in the hands of the WVDEP,” Tucker said in her ruling. “No exception is carved out for any locality or municipality.” charles.young@mail.wvu.edu

Biking becoming better transit option for students, faculty By Luke Nesler

Multimedia Editor
With the restraints of downtown traffic and parking, many students are turning to bicycling as their main form of transportation. Local businesses like Wamsley Cycles, located at the Seneca Center, are hoping more West Virginia University students take advantage of the flexibility that nontraditional transportation can provide. “You don’t have to go waiting or hunting around for a parking spot,” said Colin Dierman, general manager of Wamsley Cycles. “Parking facilities for bikes are usually right there at the building – you don’t have to pay for it.”

With the newly improved rail-trail system that runs through downtown Morgantown, students can get to campus from locations like Sabraton and Van Voorhis safely and conveniently. “In Morgantown, we have a rail-trail system that allows folks to get around town a little bit easier,” Dierman said. “Of course there are health benifits, but it also takes less time to ride across town than it does to drive across town.” Dierman said it’s impor-

Senior multidisciplinary studies major Ryan “Scotty” Reynolds was thrilled to see one of his favorite performers at the concert. “I’ve been listening to them for about five years, so it’s about time they get some spotlight,” Reynolds said. Once they were done with the stage, the sun was finally down and the crowd really started to get crazy. Rapper Big Sean continued to prove that this year’s biggest crowd-pleasers were of the hiphop genre. During his performance the Mountainlair green transformed into nothing but a sea of bouncing beach balls, spirit fingers and crowd surfing. After Big Sean finished, the stage was ready for what seemed to be the highlight of the evening. Nineteen-year-old Pittsburgh native Mac Miller addressed the audience at 9:30 p.m., stealing the show. The crowd was split between people who seemed to be obsessed with his music and others who had never heard him before but were enticed and stayed to hear through the end of his set.
tant for new cyclists to remember safety when taking new routes, though. “I really think it’s important for riders to plan out their route – maybe even drive the route or check out the traffic,” he said. “They should find a route that’s comfortable for their skill level.” Beginners should be looking for a bike that benefits their personal needs, including safety accessories. “For the folks looking into buying a bike for commuting, I would recommend looking at a complete package,” Dierman said. “Fenders are a good idea to ride in extended weather conditions.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu
Japan nuke plant to remain off-limits TOKYO (AP) — Some residents evacuated from around Japan’s stricken nuclear power plant may not to be able to return to their homes for “a long time” due to projections that high radiation levels will linger, a top government official said Monday. The government is considering providing additional support for the evacuees, including long-term housing rather than prefabricated temporary homes that the government currently is building, Cabinet members said over the weekend. The comments come after a report from the education and science ministry projected that radiation accumulated over one year at 22 monitoring sites
within roughly 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant would climb above 100 millisieverts, five times higher than the international safety standard of 20 millisieverts per year. The plant was damaged by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami that knocked out its vital cooling systems, causing meltdowns in three reactor cores that spewed radiation into the air. Some 80,000 people within a 12-mile (20 kilometer) radius of the plant have been evacuated, while several thousand more from outside the zone also relocating. “We cannot deny a possibility that some of the residents may not be able to return to
Tuesday August 23, 2011
their homes for a long time in some areas despite our decontamination efforts,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said at a regular news conference. “We are very sorry.” Prime Minister Naoto Kan said he may travel north to the affected area this weekend to meet with local officials and residents to discuss further steps the government may take. The government’s plan to bring the troubled plant to a cold, stable shutdown by January had boosted hopes among evacuees that they might be able to return to their homes soon after that. The latest projections seem to indicate that won’t be possible for some.

Even when Miller jumbled some of his words, the audience didn’t seem to care. WVU freshmen Kelsey Cowan and Janna Kuett were especially fond of Mac Miller. “I only came for Mac Miller,” Kuette said. “He did not disappoint.” Cowan added by saying, “I believe his lyrics – He will take over the world.” While each performance seemed to capture a new intensity, that was not the case
with 3 Doors Down. About half the audience exited the Mountainlair Green following the conclusion of Miller. There were, of course, still some loyal fans that did come to see 3 Doors Down. WVU Freshman Nick DeGarmo said he is one of their biggest fans. “I’ve loved them since I was a kid,” he said. He refused to be discouraged by the lack of support for the band. “They’re an amazing band, that I’ve always wanted to see them,” DeGarmo said. “I guess people just don’t care about music like they used to.”

Be aware of dangers while on the street Traffic can be hectic in Morgantown, especially during the first week on campus. When it comes down to it, the responsibility of safety on the road is a combined effort from everyone. Drivers obviously have the responsibility to maintain awareness of the surroundings while driving around town, but pedestrians must also take the same precautions on foot. There are many distractions that can take the driv-
er’s attention off of the road, such as texting or changing the music on the car stereo. Accidents happen within a blink of an eye, and most of the time it is the fault of someone’s attention being diverted for only a second. If a passenger is present in the vehicle, it is a good idea to let them control whatever device the driver needs. Let them do the texting and radio controls – it’s not worth the risk of someone’s life. Drivers must also be con-
scious of the pedestrians who can show up at any time on the streets of Morgantown, whether it’s on the main drag of Beechhurst or on the back road to West Run. Don’t drive in any intersection without the thought of a possible pedestrian, even if it is in an unlikely area for one to turn up. Jay walkers are everywhere in Morgantown, but don’t assume pedestrians are paying attention to traffic signs – even though it would be
considered the pedestrian’s fault, the injuries will weigh on the drivers conscience. Safety on the street is up to those on foot as well. Life is not like the arcade game Frogger – there is no reset button. Always cross traffic where it is safe and when it is the right time. Never assume the driver will see you and slow down – to err is human. When pedestrians walk in predictable ways, drivers will be more likely to see them.
Cross at crosswalks and stay on sidewalks. If there is no sidewalk, always walk facing on-coming traffic – it will lower the probability of an accident if the pedestrian can see a vehicle coming. Most of all, please use common sense. No one wants to get injured, nor do they want to hurt others. Be safe out there, Morgantown.

College can be a time to lose religion, gain independence david ciarolla corespondent
The new semester brings change to all students on campus as they prepare themselves for new knowledge and new experiences. Each individual studies through a unique curriculum he or she chooses in order to create the future most suitable for himself or herself. One could never hope to complete this dialectical journey without the most vital freedom for full development as a human – freedom of the mind. The soul craves indulgence in one’s own tastes, thoughts, judgments and dreams. And nothing could stifle this independence quite like the suffocating, law-driven harness of religion. The Church offers absolute truth and security at the expense of authority over one’s own life choices, a price so outrageous it should never reach the bargaining table. Many sects forbid sexual promiscuity, homosexual practices or any seditious strides towards personal pleasure. This leaves countless conflicted humans riding swells of guilt every week until they renew their limited “pious” aspirations on Sunday morning. How bland a life in which one’s purpose is static and so disagreeable. Education has a negative correlation with religiosity, as the pool becomes less littered with dissonant relics of irrationality as one travels deeper into academia. This could mean religion prevents people from achieving higher learning, or that religious ideas sit less comfortably with people disposed to successful pursuits of knowledge. Regardless, religious influence has no positive aid to offer for properly developing one’s mind. Fretful followers will say talking to their god can help students through the difficulties and conflicts of compounding knowledge. I’ve personally found warmth and stress relief from

talking to my cat and losing religion, which proves either religion is false, my cat is the Lord, or comfort is no measure of veracity. Real knowledge comes from analyzing the information available with an unprejudiced open mind, not from interpreting vague feelings strictly by a mostly unappealing guidebook. Religion’s only claim to accuracy or allure – comfort – becomes its direct enemy amidst the sundry pleasure and fresh opportunity in independent college life. Why would anyone want to maintain a limited mind before limitless personalized knowledge and sweet, shame-
less vice? An in-depth study of Victorian literature can enthrall far more than religious devotion can, and one can only fully appreciate the joys of subverting the campus police when removed from any divine guilt. Even those who prefer moral pursuits are better suited to reach their potential without filtering their accepted morality through a nonsensical doctrine. Love for one’s family members should be isolated and honest, not forced through abuse to honor the Torah’s Ten Commandments. Religion only serves to repress one’s passions, whether
moral or immoral, with a cloud of uncertain servility to a totalitarian thought police. An independent mind allows full indulgence in one’s passions and tastes and no forced second-guessing of a natural desire. No religious security beats the constant thrill of being the highest and only authority you regard in making every decision. How else can you know which kind of future you want or how you stand on ambiguous moral issues? Career paths in college should be created with no appeals to piety, and one’s stance on sexual behavior should not depend upon what
a book, preacher or guided revelation commands. The freedom to be oneself, maintain an open mind and sanction one’s own morality cannot be oversold. For a college student, independence should be genuine and unrestrained to allow every bit of fun and education as possible. This means looking past Christian rock to some more enjoyable music selections. In this environment religion hurts its followers more than its observers, as dogmas shield them from the broadest spectrum of experience, passion and development. While this article may sound flippant toward reli-
gion, its followers primary motivation in life, let the great majority of these followers consider how flippantly they have accepted ancient, poorly investigated claims of truth on such critically important issues. Losing one’s religion is a difficult decision that involves brief but significant conflict and suffering, while holding one’s religion gives a lifetime of conflicted, prescribed passions and misunderstood suffering. The walk of independence is in no way a universal remedy of self-satisfaction, but it opens doors grander and more numerous than a religious life ever will.
Budget deal is a bad move for grad students alexa rush university daily kansan
Undergraduates don’t worry. The federal debt limit bill passed doesn’t affect you, but it does affect graduate and professional students. The Budget Control Act of 2011, which would allow the debt ceiling to be raised up to $2.4 trillion in two stages, requires all graduate and professional students receiving federal loans to pay interest. However, this change won’t go into effect until July 1, 2012. Subsidized interest on Stafford Loans will be eliminated. Unsubsidized loans are still available, but students should
DA
be aware that interest will start to accumulate while they are busy hitting the books. “About 35 percent of Lawrence/Edwards graduate and professional students receive need-based loans each year, with an average annual loan amount of about $7,700,” said U. Kansas spokeswoman Jill Jess. Under the previous system, interest did not accrue as long as the borrower was at least a half-time student. It also offered six month grace period immediately following graduation. With this new bill in place, there will no longer be a grace period, and students are expected to begin paying the interest that has gathered on their loans promptly after being handed their diploma,
unless a student returns to school or enters the armed forces. The changes do not affect existing loans. Additionally, students will no longer be rewarded for making payments on time. Brandon Gillette, vice president of the Graduate Association of Students in Philosophy at KU, has concerns about the new financial stress students will face. “The graduate students who do not have another source of funding will either have to choose between unsubsidized or private loans, both of which have higher interests rates and thus higher cost,” Gillette said. The Congressional Budget Office states that by removing the subsidized loan program
for graduate and professional students and eliminating certain loan repayment incentives, direct spending will be reduced by about $21.6 billion from 2012 to 2021. From this amount gathered, $17 billion will be put toward the funding of the Pell Grant program, which should prove to be good news for an estimated 4,175 Lawrence and Edwards students and 106 Medical Center undergraduates who receive federal Pell Grants each year. “This act should not have a direct impact on the amount of financial aid awarded to students,” Jess said. “Students may minimize federal student loan interest by borrowing responsibly – borrowing only what is needed for educational expenses.

cody schuler sports writer
WVU fans should want LSU at its best I guess LSU starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson didn’t need a fake ID. The 20 year old senior was among a group of four players involved in a bar fight late Thursday night that sent four people to the hospital. Let me start by saying this is not an article about morals. This isn’t a paternalistic view of how misplaced empowerment can lead to disaster and lawlessness (i.e., Miami Hurricanes). This is just me expressing my frustration for possibly not getting my money’s worth come September 24 when the Tigers make the trip to Morgantown to take on West Virginia I’m big on serious, unabridged, top-notch competition. Why? It pushes parties involved to go further than they normally would, leading to lasting improvement – or imminent failure. As a consumer, I like this because competition forces innovation, which creates more advanced, efficient products – such as the iPhone or Excedrin Migraine. As a sports fan, I like competition because it gives us the best entertainment and most talented teams. For an example of this at work, read yesterday’s column detailing position battles – especially at running back and wide receiver. You think those guys would have pushed as hard or made as much improvement if they didn’t have that stiff competition every day at practice? But I digress. It’s for this reason fans should want every opponent the Mountaineers face this season to be on the top of their game. They won’t want to hear excuses, alibis or cop-outs as to why a respective team lost to WVU. When West Virginia wins games, wouldn’t it be better for them to beat the best an opponent can throw at them, especially a team like LSU? If Jordan Jefferson and his teammates end up being suspended or have to serve jail time, the Mountaineers won’t be facing LSU’s best team. As of now, I’m not so sure they’re going to be at their best. Although details of the fight are still being sorted out, the gist of what happened goes something like this: Thursday’s practice marked the end of two-a-days for LSU. That night the entire team checked in for the established 10:30 p.m. curfew. Several hours later outside of Shady’s Bar in downtown Baton Rouge, La., four players reportedly got into a fight after a driver honked his horn at a crowd blocking his way. As many as 20 players were reportedly at the scene, both in and outside of the bar. Multiple witnesses said one of the players kicked a victim in the head “soccer-style.” The group of implicated players quickly hired an attorney and delayed questioning with the police for a day as the attorney gathered stories from witnesses. I have two problems with this situation. The first is the choice of the players to go to a bar named “Shady’s.” Foreshadowing alert: I can assure you, this is no misnomer. The second problem is LSU plays No. 3 Oregon in less than two weeks. The chain reaction of events that will stem from that night are sure to last longer than that two weeks. All four of the players involved (Jefferson, offensive lineman Chris Davenport, defensive lineman Josh Johns and wide receiver Jarvis Landry) are having charges pressed against them. There are a plethora of scenarios that could occur that could cost players game time. As it stands, the investigation is ongoing. Jefferson may possibly be arrested, but my gut tells me that won’t happen.

STILL IMPROVING Talented WVU wide receivers work to become more consistent By Ben Gaughan
associate sports editor
Talent is something the West Virginia football team does not have to worry about, especially at the wide receiver position. The Mountaineers have everything from the small and quick wide out, to the tall and bigger receiver. Either way, the guys who are going to be out on the field on Saturdays have the potential to get the job done with head coach Dana Holgorsen’s high-powered, high-flying offense. Overall consistency has been a slight problem so far throughout camp, but it has recently improved with hard work from players like sophomore Stedman Bailey and redshirt junior Ryan Nehlen. “They have to come to work every day,” Holgorsen said. “By the time they think they have it all figured out and they’re living the good life, they relax and have a bad day. That’s not how this deal works. It’s about coming every day and being good
matt sunday/the daily athenaeum
Junior Tavon Austin (left), sophomore Stedman Bailey (middle) and senior Tyler Urban (right) are expected to have big roles in the West Virginia offense this season. every day.” Holgorsen has seen elite types of talent in his previous coaching years. He coached all-American Justin Blackmon at Oklahoma State in 2010 and Michael Crabtree at Texas Tech
in 2007. The factor will be whether the players put their potential into making big plays on the field. Two players who are likely to see significant playing time
this season are junior inside receiver Tavon Austin and sophomore wide receiver Bailey. Austin is without question the most clear-cut starting receiver, as he already has a full year under his belt. How-
ever, Bailey has had a positive summer, and Holgorsen has praised him for his play in practice over the last two weeks. “Stedman Bailey made some really good plays,” Holgorsen stated after Saturday’s scrimmage. “(He’s) been playing really, really well.” Bailey started in nine games for the Mountaineers last season and will look to improve his 24 catch, 317-yard season that earned him all-Big East freshman honors. Senior inside receivers Devon Brown and Tyler Urban have been competing with one another throughout the last few weeks and have been pushing each other in practice to get better no matter who comes out on top. This battle is an interesting one that Holgorsen has been watching all summer. Brown is a transfer from Wake Forest where, according to him, he was very limited in what he could do within the offense.

Nehlen competes for starting job after making progress in fall camp By ben gaughan
associate sports editor
As the grandson of a former West Virginia head coach that led the Mountaineers to more than one undefeated regular season in the 1980’s, it may seem like it’s difficult to live up to so many expectations from fans. But in Ryan Nehlen’s case, the formula is pretty simple: don’t think about it and just give one hundred percent effort all the time. The redshirt junior and walk-on has done precisely that and is now competing for a starting wide receiver position for WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “I try to ignore that stuff,” Nehlen said after practice last week. “I just come out and try to work hard every day, getting better and things will pay off if I work hard.” Even though Nehlen has had a productive spring and summer, the receiver knows other players in the past, who have had good practices before the start of the season, haven’t always turned out to be productive in the fall. “You kind of look at the past and people keep reminding me, ‘Oh people had good springs but haven’t turned out,’” he said. “So, it’s kind of been in the back of my mind to motivate me.” Nehlen played on the scout team in 2008 as a freshman, competing against several players on this year’s defense and said it definitely puts him in a good position to succeed. Not only that, but the redshirt junior also bonded with starting quarterback Geno Smith during the offseason, as they both were injured and went through rehab. “I had my knee surgery last year and he also had his foot surgery, so we were both out during spring, and we would work out together,” Nehlen said. “That’s sort of when our bond started. We are getting to know each other, we’re sweating together we’re bleeding together. “Then I think we definitely built a chemistry throughout the spring and during summer.” The 6-foot-2, 203-pound receiver, as of right now, will most likely see the more playing time on the offense than he’s ever received as a Mountaineer. The good thing is he knows his job and what he expects of himself as a teammate. “My role is just being in the right spot and trying to make plays in whichever way I can,” Nehlen said. “I just want to get on the field and just make plays any way
I can; catching the ball, blocking, whatever it is, just making plays and helping this team win.” Many of the wide receivers on the team are quick and agile, but Nehlen is more of a possession and route run-
ning receiver, which he thinks fits to his advantage as far as having his own individual strengths. “I think I run good routes. I think I catch the ball very well

Miller continues success into final season at West Virginia by nick arthur sports writer
From her freshman campaign in 2008 to Sunday’s game against Purdue, senior forward Blake Miller has done nothing but achieve success during her career as a member of the West Virginia women’s soccer team. Miller, a St. Louis, Mo., native, began her Mountaineer career with a bang, scoring ten goals in 2008. That mark ranks her as the only Mountaineer ever to score double-digit goals as a freshman. Coincidentally, her first career goal was a game-winner against Tennessee. If that wasn’t impressive enough for a freshman campaign, Miller scored the gamewinning goal against Princeton in the first round of the 2008 NCAA tournament. She also played in all 23 matches of her freshman season. Her sophomore year was no disappointment either, as Miller started 22 of 23 matches. The only match she didn’t start was due to illness; however, Miller still came off the bench ,even with flu-like symptoms. Miller’s junior season was superb, as she led the Mountaineers in goals (10), assists (9) and points (29) and was named to the second team all-Big East Conference squad and to the 2010 Big East all-tournament team. The 2011 season is under way, and the senior forward wasted little time to make her
mark in the West Virginia record books. Her goal at the 40 minute mark against Purdue Sunday moved Miller into a tie for eighth on the school’s career goal list. The goal also improved the Mountaineers’ record to 19-2-1 all-time when Blake Miller scores a goal. But the humble Miller isn’t a fan of individual accolades. She seemed shocked when told about her recent movement in the record books. “I honestly had no idea,” Miller said. “It feels good as long as I’m just doing things for this team. Without them behind me it doesn’t happen anyway.” Four years is ample time to build a strong relationship with a mentor; Miller and West Virginia head coach Nikki IzzoBrown have done just that. “My sophomore year, I kind of went in a rut, and (Coach) Izzo never turned her back on me,” Miller said. “We just have that connection where she just believes in me and she’s always pushing me.” Coach Izzo-Brown is a big supporter of recognition for Miller and believes she may be one of the best forwards to ever play for her. “I have coached some of the best forwards in the country, and for her to be moving in that record book just reflects what a dynamic forward she is and what she’s able to do,” IzzoBrown said. Izzo-Brown not only has been pleased with Miller’s

There are a lot of hungry seniors that really want to leave their mark,” IzzoBrown said. “They set their goals high.” Miller and her teammates are currently ranked No. 13 nationally and are the defending Big East Conference Champions. When you make the trip over to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this season, be sure to glance out at the lady wearing No. 3. She will most likely be doing what she has done for the past four years: quietly going about her business and leading her team to victory. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 5 and I can also jump to use that to my advantage, and those are good attributes to have,” he said. “We’ve got different players on the outside that do different things, so there’s a lot of different types of talent on this offense, which makes it good.” Of course, Nehlen would not be in the position he’s in today without extremely hard work and putting in time to be the best possible player he can be. It seems the new coaching staff has noticed is effort, work ethic and leadership he displayed during the offseason. Nehlen is pleased to be showing the young players on the team what it takes. “I’m a junior now. I think it’s definitely my time to start leading,” Nehlen said. “I’m not

He has talent and game experience. Urban has probably been the most patient player on West Virginia for the last three years. The 6-foot-5, 251-pound receiver rarely got used under former head coach Bill Stewart. Just the fact that these two players are complete opposites going up against each other is fun to watch in practice. “We’re figuring out who does what during a game, but they’re a solid one-two (out) there,” Holgorsen said after the scrimmage. Redshirt junior Ryan Nehlen and sophomore Ivan McCartney create another intriguing battle in camp. Both players have good potential and have famous relatives in the sports world. Nehlen is the grandson of former WVU head coach Don Nehlen, and McCartney is the cousin of current New England Patriot wide receiver Chad Ochocinco. “That one’s been one of the more fun ones to watch,” Holgorsen said. “Ivan’s been so inconsistent for a year, but he’s

grown up and he’s starting to come on consistent.” Nehlen has had a lingering buzz surrounding his name throughout his time here at WVU due to his grandfather. He’s stayed patient and now has produced a good enough spring and summer to compete for a starting job. McCartney also has a lot of potential and just needs to keep competing to earn more playing time in game situations. Then he’ll show his overall talent. Redshirt senior Brad Starks has been injured throughout camp and has not gotten a chance to see the field much since the first week of practice. Redshirt junior J. D. Woods will have a shot to see action this year as an outside receiver. Woods played in 13 games last season, starting four. Willie Milhouse, a redshirt senior who sat out all of last year after transferring from Duquesne, has looked good in practice recently and is competing to get on the field. He may back up Tavon Austin at the same position. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 5 Head coach Les Miles has already begun punishing the players involved internally, but more punishment could come down from Athletic Director Joe Alleva. From my view, it looks like the No.4 Tigers have further decreased their chances of beating Oregon in the season opener and, consequently, further decreased their chances of beating WVU. Regardless of what happens the Tigers will come to Mor-
gantown as a favorite. Even if players get suspended, LSU is deep enough and talented enough to field a team capable of beating the Mountaineers. A game that has been marked for revenge for more than a year now will be a good game regardless of missing players – but I want to watch a great game. Here’s to hoping LSU can fix all its problems by Sept. 24 – so everyone has the chance to watch a memorable game between two teams at their respective bests.

Spank Rock performs at 123 by alec berry Web editor
FallFest grabbed the attention of Morgantown’s majority of music enthusiasts, but away from the bright lights and loud shouts hid a little gem for those not pleased by the school sponsored lineup. Venue 123 Pleasant Street played host to Baltimorebased rap/electronic group Spank Rock last night. In some sense, the show could be termed an “alternative FallFest,” but really, at its core, Spank Rock was just another show, another source of talent rolling through the dimly lit walls of 123. Spank Rock cuts its teeth on its raw-ish sound and oddball combo of aesthetics. Consisting of rappers Naeem Juwan (MC Spank Rock) and producer Alex Epton (XXXChange), the group represents an abundant underground hip-hop scene. A scene left cold by most usual case fans of the genre. The group signed a record deal with Downtown Records in 2007 and have since produced two albums and one EP. Its latest album goes by the title “Everything is Boring and Everyone is a F---ing Liar.” Starting late in the night, 123 held a decent-sized crowd. The audience was a mix of the usual 123 Pleasant patrons mixed with a portion of Spank Rock listeners. The build to the performance was a slow one.
pushed its way over the 7 feet tall speakers, coarsing its way throughout the establishment and infecting the show-goers. A mix of lyrics ran their way over the melodies. The duo of Spank Rock performed. Their new album took most of the group’s attention, but tracks from the previous release “YoYoYoYoYoYo” mixed their way in. The latest single, “Energy,” seemed to steal the show. While Spank Rock relies on sometimes hyper-sexual lyrics and, for some, inappropriate imagery, the audience seemed to move past it.

‘Watch the Throne’ fails to deliver Charles young associate city editor
Two rap mega stars, a laundry list of the industry’s most coveted producers and “featured” performances from deceased musical legends. These are just some of the elements that collide to create “Watch the Throne,” the bloated, disastrous collaborative effort from Jay-Z and Kanye West. In the weeks leading up to its release, the hype surrounding “Watch the Throne” reached a fever pitch and threatened to dwarf the actual album itself. Jay-Z defiantly declared that the album would not leak onto file sharing networks prior to its scheduled August 8 release exclusively through iTunes. Jay’s comments sparked a wave on hackers, fans and bloggers racing to obtain and leak a copy. True to his word, Hova spoke, and it was gospel. No copies surfaced online. Rumors saying Jay-Z allegedly spent $250,000 on champagne for the album’s releases are currently making rounds on the Internet. When the album finally did drop, it lived up to the hype, setting a record as the highest selling album in the iTunes store’s history for first-week sales. The album moved 290,000 digital units in its first week and broke the record of 155,000 digital units previously held by
Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” When the album received a physical release a week later, it went to number one in twentythree countries and sold a total of 436,000 in its first two weeks. The album itself is 15 tracks long (16 on the iTunes exclusive edition), clocks in at a little over an hour, and features its two creators flaunting and rhyming over a diverse selection of beats with the help of a select number of anointed protegee. Frank Ocean, the singing member of L.A.-based Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, lends his vocal talents to two of the albums high points, “No Church in the Wild” and “Made in America.” The album’s production credits read like a list of hiphop’s most sought after studio wizards. Wu Tang Clan’s RZA, Bricksquad’s Lex Luger, Swizz Beatz, The Neptunes and Mike Dean all take control of the boards for one track or another. Despite the impressive roll call, West’s production fingerprints are on every inch of the album, leaving the final product sounding doctored and patched together. Mrs. Carter herself, Beyonce Knowles, provides the hook for the album’s second track “Lift Off,” one of the albums weakest songs. West and his team of super producers deliver a terribly sunny, synth-driven beat overcomplicated by samples of countdowns and liftoffs. The re-
sult is a song, which sounds like the musical equivalent of frolicking though a field of daisies. Not to mention Jay-Z only delivers three and a half lines in the whole song. The album’s aptly titled first single, “Otis,” features an extended sample from Otis’s Redding’s version of “Try a Little Tenderness.” Since the single’s release prior to the album, there has been much speculating over the alleged hefty price tag attached to it. Some have said Jay-Z and West paid upwards of $2 million to use the brief snippet. Along with the royalty came the right to feature Redding as a guest performer on the song. Forty-four years after his untimely death, Otis Redding makes his return to recording, sort of. The album, which was recorded in secret in various hotel rooms from Australia to New York, catches both of its creators coming off of career defining albums. West just finished up his monstrously successful “My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy” album, and Jay-Z is still coasting on the success of “The Blueprint 3. ” “Watch the Throne” is much like a diamond. It’s massive, glittering and immaculately polished. It’s also cold and a little pointless. This album sounds exactly like what should be expected from two massive egos and a

Nothing is quite as boring as the empty walls of a college dorm room. From the cold tile floors to the bare concrete walls, long hours and countless days can sometimes transform your dorm room into a prison cell before your very eyes – unless you’ve sought the people of Beyond the Wall for help. The company Beyond the Wall has been selling posters and other decorations to colleges for over two decades, and it has been seen in the
Mountainlair during Welcome Week for several of those years. Beyond the Wall, out of Pa., reaches out to colleges throughout the nation, selling posters and other items to help college students spiff up their bare rooms. Alison Zerbe, a Beyond the Wall employee, was excited to come to Morgantown to sell posters. “Sometimes I get stuck in Pennsylvania or even Texas, but this year they wanted to send me to West Virginia University, and I couldn’t have been more excited,” Zerbe said. “This state is just
so beautiful, the students are so nice, and business is always awesome.” An aspect that keeps the University’s involvement on lock with the program is that WVU receives a commission based on the amount of posters sold. “The earnings benefit West Virginia University’s Arts & Entertainment program that helps pay for all the awesome stuff the students get to do, just like FallFest,” Zerbe said. During the several years Beyond the Wall has been bringing their business to Mountaineer country, the workers

Watch The Throne Kanye West/Jay-Z
The collaboration of Kanye West and Jay-Z make up the bloated sound of their new album. limitless budget. A bloated, staggering giant. While many critics have applauded “Watch the Throne” and declared it as a sign of a new era in hip-hop, a second coming of rap’s champagne age, others see it as merely another blow to the underground and a collective lowering of standards. In our modern world, only time and Twitter posts will tell us if “Watch the Throne” holds up. A new hero rises from the slime of the Internet to challenge the established hierarchy of hip-hop every day. This album is an open invitation to anyone and everyone to take a shot at the throne. No one is watching it.
