SGA board appoints two executives

by Charles young Associate City Editor

During the first meeting of the year for West Virginia University’s Student Government Association, members of the Board of Governors voted to appoint two executive officers.

Garrett Robinson, who has

previously served in SGA as executive secretary and as a member of the BOG, was appointed to serve as treasurer.

Robinson, a senior accounting major, said his academic experience and history with SGA would help him be an effective treasurer.

“I think with my background in student govern-

ment I could help with the grant process,” Robinson said prior to the vote.

Robinson submitted his resignation from the BOG last year following his arrest for a DUI. Robinson was arrested last October for refusing to take a preliminary breath test after being pulled over, according to police reports.

Jason Junkin, who served as a member of SGA’s judicial board last year, was appointed to serve as Attorney General.

“I’m well versed in the (SGA) Constitution and the role of various parts of student government,” Junkin said.

Voting for the executive position of chief of staff

Diverse organizations will gather in the Mountainlair today to encourage student involvement and promote awareness of the unique cultural societies at West Virginia University.

Booths for the organizations will begin at 10 a.m. and will continue until roughly 2 p.m. inside the Mountainlair.

With many different cultures interacting together on campus at WVU, today’s event serves to

create a meeting place for students. The event suggests organizations with which to get involved on campus.

“There definitely will be a wide-ranging group that will be in attendance,” said Dr. Grace Atebe, assistant director of the Office of International Students and Scholars.

Student organizations with booths set up today include WVU Solar House, ISO, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, Panhellenic, Iranian Student Association, Public Relations Student Society, Chinese Stu-

Bob Henry Baber, Mountain Party candidate for governor, visited the West Virginia University campus Wednesday to talk to students about change.

Baber said his number one priority is to “reclaim West Virginia for West Virginians,” pushing for a reassessment of the coal industry and more renewable energy jobs for the state.

“We’ve given too much – too much coal, too many miners and too many lungs,” Baber said. “We better start thinking about the future and moving toward green energy.”

Baber’s plans include raising severance taxes on coal, oil and gas and better regulation of Marcellus Shale development.

“Changes like these could be another $200 million for things like higher education, day care services, economic diversity and entrepreneurship,” Baber said.

Baber recognizes the lifelong jobs the mining industry has provided for the state, though, and said he’s sensitive to those individuals.

“We need to move towards green gently, we can’t just

throw the strip miners out,” he said. “We should’ve never gone down that road, but we need to back out and find a plan.”

He hopes these types of reform will provide more instate jobs and prevent residents from relocating.

“Our best and brightest go off, and we can’t keep them.

That’s not good for a state,” Baber said. “Too many generations have been migrating out for years.”

In order to make those changes, West Virginia needs a new type of leader, Baber said.

“We need a governor who’s going to stand up for the state. We’ve had 100 years of democrats and republicans and here we are in a three-legged race with Mississippi to see who can be the poorest state in the country” he said. “We should be the wealthiest.”

Baber compared himself to competitors democrat Earl Ray Tomblin and republican Bill Maloney.

“Tomblin says ‘more jobs, lower taxes’ and Maloney says ‘lower taxes, more jobs,’ but they’re arguing about a phrase some guy thought up

rage for the entirety of the day, collecting more than 400 signatures for a petition for change.

Motorcyclists have never had to pay for parking in the past, but the WVU Department of Transportation and Parking imposed a yearly fee of $168 earlier this month.

Students flooded the lobby of the West Virginia University Student Recreation Center Tuesday to celebrate 10 years of student activities.

The Student Rec Center Alex Panger, a sophomore biochemistry major, said he appreciates the Rec Center most for its club sports opportunities.

“It’s a great way to draw students to the Rec Center, especially freshmen,” Panger said.

“I love the new facilities and it’s great to see money is finally being put towards club

sports and not just varsity.”

Matthew Cardinal, a sophomore Spanish major, waited in line to receive a free chair massage offered by the Rec Center.

“I love this event. There’s a ton of things to do, freshman are coming out to learn about club sports, the ‘minute to win it’ activities are great and I’m here for the free massage,” Cardinal said.

Cardinal also noted the Rec Center’s 8.4 million dollar field project scheduled to be completed next week.

Libyan rebels try to secure Tripoli TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libyans hunting Moammar Gadhafi offered a $2 million bounty on the fallen dictator’s head and amnesty for anyone who kills or captures him as rebels battled Wednesday to clear the last pockets of resistance from the capital Tripoli.

While some die-hard loyalists kept up the fight to defend Gadhafi, his support was crumbling by the hour. His deputy intelligence chief defected, and even his foreign minister said his 42-year rule was over.

A defiant Gadhafi vowed from hiding to fight on “until victory or martyrdom,” in an audio message early Wednesday.

He may have little choice.

Asked by the British broadcaster Channel 4 if a negotiated settlement or safe passage for Gadhafi from Libya was still possible, Foreign Minister Abdul Ati al-Obeidi said: “It looks like things have passed this kind of solution.”

Rebel leaders were beginning to set up a new government in the capital. Their interim administration, the National Transitional Council, has been based in the eastern city of Benghazi, which fell under rebel control shortly after the outbreak of widespread protests in February.

“Members of the council are now moving one by one from Benghazi to Tripoli,” said Mansour Seyf al-Nasr, the Libyan opposition’s new ambassador to France.

Rebel officials are eager to prove they can bring a stable political future to Libya, and that their movement is more than an often-fractious collection of tribes, ethnicities and semiautonomous militias.

Mahmoud Jibril, the head of the opposition government, outlined plans for a new con-

stitution and elections and said officials were talking to the U.N. about sending up to 200 monitors to help ensure security in Tripoli.

But the capital was far from pacified. A day after rebels captured Gadhafi’s vast Bab al-Aziziya compound, the symbolic center of his regime, loyalists were firing into the compound from an adjacent neighborhood where intense clashes broke out. Pro-regime snipers cut off the road to the airport. Four Italian journalists were kidnapped on the highway to Tripoli around the city of Zawiya, 30 miles west of the capital.

Tripoli’s streets were largely empty of civilians. Rebels manned checkpoints every few hundred yards, but little could be seen beyond the debris of days of fighting and weeks of accumulated garbage.

Rebels found no sign of Gadhafi after storming his compound Tuesday, but rumors churned of his possible whereabouts. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said there was no evidence he had left Libya, but rebel officials acknowledged they could not find him.

“He might be in Sirte or any other place,” Jibril said in Paris, where he met French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Sirte, a coastal city 250 miles from Tripoli, is Gadhafi’s hometown and a bastion of regime support.

Khaled al-Zintani, spokesman for the rebel military council for the western mountains, said it has set up an operations room with intelligence officers, military defectors and security officers who are trying to find Gadhafi, his family, regime members and his forces.

They are collecting information on the location, size and direction of any convoys.

PROTEsT

Continued from page 1 Morgantown Motorcycles, prompted the protest and said the new policy just doesn’t add up.

“There’s no logical financial breakdown. The numbers don’t make sense,” Dorsey said. “There’s a misconception that we want free parking, but that’s not true. We just want to pay the fair value of what we’re getting.”

Dorsey said he’s researched the parking policies of similar college campuses compared to WVU, based on factors such as student and city population, acreage and average income.

Colleges like the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois have free or monthly

payment plans for cyclists, he said.

“You can drive a car all year round, but you can’t ride a bike safely for 12 months of the year,” Dorsey said. “That’s why most schools have monthly or seasonal plans.”

Eric Rosie, assistant director of the Parking Administration, said the change was made in order to treat all parking users fairly.

“We wanted equity across the board for everyone who uses the parking facilities,” Rosie said. “We decided everyone needed to pay their fair share.”

Rosie said cyclists are still being given a deal, with a parking cost at half of the price of automobile drivers.

“The spaces cost less to maintain, but they still cost,”

Libyan rebels patrol to find Moammar Gadhafi’s relatives as they heard rumors one of his sons were hiding inside the building in Tripoli, Libya, Wednesday.

The operations center is in the western mountains, the staging base for the rebels who marched on Tripoli.

Mohammed al-Herizi, an opposition official, said a group of Tripoli businessmen has offered a $2 million reward for the arrest or killing of Gadhafi. The rebels themselves are offering amnesty for anyone who kills him or hands him over.

“The biggest prize is to offer amnesty, not to give money,” rebel spokesman Col. Ahmed Bani said.

Gadhafi vowed not to surrender. Speaking to a local television channel, apparently by phone, he called on residents of the Libyan capital and loyal tribesmen to free Tripoli from the “devils and traitors” who have overrun it.

Al-Sadeq al-Kabir, a rebel spokesman, denied media reports that Gadhafi had offered a cease-fire.

The rebels have taken control of much of Libya with the help of a relentless NATO air campaign that included about 7,500 strike attacks against Gadhafi’s forces. His defenses around Tripoli melted away as the rebels rapidly advanced and entered the capital Sunday.

Jibril said a commission created with members from around Libya would write a new constitution, which would be put up for a referendum. He didn’t specify a timetable but said that once a constitution is adopted, elections for parliament would be held within the next four months, and its president would be Libya’s interim leader until a presidential election sometime later.

“The mission of protecting civilians is not over,” Jibril said.

“The other bigger and more fierce battle has not started yet.

It is the rebuilding of Libya.”

Jazz Festival benefits cancer research by jake potts a&e editor

The musical atmosphere of West Virginia varies to every element of the spectrum, some emphasized more than others.

But one jazz enthusiast, Eric Spelsberg, wanted more for West Virginia’s jazz community.

With support from other enthusiasts, along with time and patience, the West Virginia Jazz Society got its start.

Years later, the group has grown and is now hosting a jazz festival in Clarksburg, 40 minutes south of Morgantown.

The Great Ladies! Music Festival and Tribute to Women is in support of women’s appreciation along with the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Diagnostic and Treatment Fund and the Health and Wellness benefit.

Several jazz performers will be in attendance at the event, including renowned pianist, Lenore Raphael. From New York City, Lenore will be performing in a trio that consists of herself on Steinway piano, Roger Humphries on drums and Herman Burney on bass.

Other performers include Erin Young, the queen of Mountain Bop, Ian Walters, Washington D.C. singer, performer and entertainer and many other acts.

For students who wish to attend the event, a 50% discount will be given on admission bringing the price of $30 down to $15.

For the $15 admission charge, students will get to experience all of the different performers, receive dinner and get to experience the “jazz club” atmosphere.

Jazz enthusiast Eric Spels-

berg is excited for the exposure offered at the festival.

“We’re at something I like to call the Jazz Crossroads,” Spelsberg said. “We’re right in the middle of all the places where jazz music is well known, which means this is a hot spot for jazz to take off.”

Spelsberg, who stresses not being anything more than a music enthusiast, disagrees with the belief of jazz having an intricate field of understanding.

“It’s music,” Spelsberg said.

“I’m in no way a musician nor have I tried to find this deeper level of jazz. As far as I’m concerned, it’s music and that’s it.

Anyone can enjoy it.”

The involvement of WVU goes deeper than simply offering a discount to students.

WVU’s Department of Music has donated an $80,000 Steinway piano for her to use

during her performance.

“It was so great to have West Virginia University so willing to help with everything,” Raphael said.

WVU’s Department of Music is on it’s way to being a completely Steinway school, according to Raphael.

Raphael is also excited about the recipients of the donations made for the event.

“The fact that the money made during this event is going to such a great cause makes it that much better to be a part of it,” Raphael said.

The event begins Thursday night at 5:30 p.m.. The show begins at 7 p.m.. More performances will be held Friday and Saturday nights and students can receive their discounts upon purchasing their tickets.

Cupcakerie to open doors in September by jake potts A&E editor

Marvin Gaye reissued the album, ‘What’s Going On?’ in honor of its 40th anniversary.

web

Marvin Gaye’s masterpiece reissued charles young associate city editor

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of its release, Motown Record’s is reissuing Marvin Gaye’s seminal masterwork “What’s Going On?” For the reissue, Motown is releasing the album as a deluxe collectors bundle.

Included in the package are two CD’s and a vinyl LP. The CD’s contain demos, B-sides, and the remastered original album. The LP, also containing the remastered original album, is on 180 gram audiophile quality vinyl.

There isn’t much to be said about “What’s Going On?” that hasn’t already been said.

It’s the breakthough Vietnam War-era album that helped transform Gaye from a squeaky-clean pop star into a street poet and social philosopher.

The now mythologized story goes something like this: Despite being one of Motown record’s most successful art-

ists, when Gaye submitted “What’s going On?” as his eleventh studio album, record executive Berry Gordy refused to release it. Gordy said the album did not have enough commercial appeal and instead choose to issue a greatest hits compilation of Gaye’s previous work.

After month’s of stalling, the album’s first single, titled “What’s Going On?,” was released and instantly rocketed to number two on the R&B charts.

Subsequently, the album was released and the rest is history. Upon it’s original release, the album sold more than two million copies and remained on the Billboard charts for over a year.

What makes “What’s going On?” a classic? Its strength, complexity and courage.

At the height of the Vietnam War, Gaye found himself preoccupied by the social unrest and angst gripping the nation. Gaye’s brother Frankie had just finished serving three years in the U.S. Army and record numbers of soldiers were being reported as dead or

missing everyday.

After reflecting upon this, Gaye turned his musical efforts toward chronicling the national mood and recording the signs of the time.

The result is a tender and intimate series of song cycles examining God, country, love, hate and war.

Using his angelic multi-dimensional voice and a group of legendary session players known as the Funk Brothers, Gaye produced one of the most beautiful and fascinating portraits of contemporary life to emerge from the 20th century.

Now 40 years removed from its release, “What’s Going On?” represents much more then an album. It’s a cultural landmark, a social critique and a love letter to humanity.

For lifelong fans and newcomers alike, this reissue is the perfect way to experience Gaye’s finest moment.

If you don’t own this album at least on format, you need to.

Listen to Marvin, he has a lot to teach you about yourself.

tled water were available for purchase to passersby and Carrier was excited about how the day went.

“We had a hard time keeping the cupcakes stocked,” Carrier said. “We ran out several times throughout the day, which is an incredible sign for how our store’s going to do.”

The duo plans on holding a soft opening within the next couple weeks but isn’t going to hold a grand opening until sometime in October, according to Carrier.

The cupcakes were even a big hit with the students passing by, including soph-

omore history major, Drew Schmalz.

“It was awesome to get to stop and have a snack between classes,” Schmalz said.

“Plus they are delicious and the store is located on my way home so I’m definitely looking forward to their opening.”

The duo is looking forward to the opening of their store and seeing students flood in every day for a quick snack before class.

The Cupcakerie plans to open the week after Labor Day at 194 Willey St.

Let’s face it.

There’s nothing more delicious than a freshly made cupcake and in a college city like Morgantown, cupcakes made with tender love and care are hard to come across.

Janet Williams and Anna Carrier weren’t going to let that stop them from giving the students of West Virginia University the kind of cupcakes everyone has come to know and love.

Originally in a law firm, Carrier decided to follow her jakob.potts@mail.wvu.edu original love, business and Williams jumped on board with the idea of a bakery.

Loving the Morgantown environment and the college life surrounding their business, they decided a small shop located on Willey Street would be the perfect place.

“It’s great placement,” Carrier said. “We’re planning on walk-by customers to be our biggest income. Plus we just love this town, so there’s nowhere else we’d rather be.”

Along with cupcakes, the store will be selling other items such as coffee, cappuccino and other beverages.

Steve Jobs resigns from CEO for Apple (AP) — Steve Jobs, the mind behind the iPhone, iPad and other devices that turned Apple Inc. into one of the world’s most powerful companies, resigned as the company’s CEO on Wednesday, saying he can no longer handle the job.

The move appears to be the result of an unspecified medical condition for which he took an indefinite leave from his post in January. Apple’s chief operating officer, Tim Cook, has been named CEO. In a letter addressed to Apple’s board and the “Apple community,” Jobs said he “always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know.

Unfortunately, that day has come.”

Jobs’ health has long been a concern for Apple investors who see him as an industry oracle who seems to know what consumers want long before they do. After his announcement, Apple stock quickly fell 5.4 percent in after-hours trading.

The company said Jobs gave the board his resignation Wednesday and suggested Cook be named the company’s new leader. Apple said Jobs was elected board chairman and Cook is becoming a member of its board.

Jobs’ hits seemed to grow bigger as the years went on: After the colorful iMac computer and the now-ubiquitous iPod, the iPhone redefined the category of smart phones and the iPad all but created the market for tablet computers.

His own aura seemed part of the attraction.

Utilize every resource WVU has to offer Now that the semester is in full swing and students are becoming situated with class schedules, it is now time to look for other ways to maximize the hard-earned dollars spent in college.

Obtaining a degree should not be the only concern of students at West Virginia University. Gaining relevant job experience is just as important.

Employers do not want to train a new hire; they want someone who can fill a posi-

tion with as little training as possible. They want to know what can be done for them.

Utilize every resource the University has to offer.

Places to gain job experience are everywhere on campus.

Whether it is an advertisement posted on a bulletin board in The Life Sciences Building or a trip to the Career Center, assistance is just around the corner.

Internships are available

through WVU at various major corporations such as Disney, General Electric and Toyota – just to name a few.

While a lot of these internships can be highly competitive, they could jumpstart a career into high gear immediately after graduation.

But don’t be intimidated into thinking they are impossible to obtain – every day students get involved with programs that allow their dreams to come true.

At the same time, don’t think landing an internship and doing the bare minimum while you’re there will help you either.

It takes dedication and strong networking skills to obtain the connections necessary to land a job.

Unfortunately, it’s not always what you know – it’s who you know.

College is a great time all around.

There are many opportuni-

ties to make friends and enjoy the best years in life. But these years fly by, and when they are done students must be able to take the next step into the job market.

Start now.

Talk to administrators, professors and fellow students about how to get involved on campus. Don’t wait until the last semester of college to get real work experience.

All college degrees should receive the same respect jarrod barry columnist

In May, I read an article on CNN.com talking about engineering majors in college. The article’s main focus was about how so many engineering students drop out or switch majors. But it was the article’s title that caught my eye: “Why would-be engineers end up as English majors”.

To me, there’s something vaguely insulting about the title. It seems to imply an English degree is somehow lesser than an engineering one; that so many students out there started out trying to earn a really important degree before falling back on one that’s less valuable?

After all, what’s wrong with being an English major? Could it be some of these would-be engineers just decided they weren’t interested in the field? Did they realize their love for the potential dollar signs the engineering profession often promises didn’t override their distaste for math and science.

Why is being an English major framed as being some kind of last resort for those incapable of handling engineering?

And then, earlier this week, I saw someone on Facebook comment about how slow the library computers can be.

“But what do you need more speed for?” he asked. “The engineering labs have better, but that’s because real work gets done there.”

Wait, what? Are you saying writing a research paper isn’t “real” work? Doing research for my psychology class or looking up information about comparative political systems isn’t “real” work? Is writing this article for the paper not “real” work?

Oh, forgive me, future Edisons of tomorrow! How foolish of me to ask for better, more upgraded computers for our library.

I should have known my article on financial aid shouldn’t

West Virginia University students await to receive their degrees on graduation day. warrant the same quality of technology that your important, “real” work deserves!

Sometimes I get the feeling that those of us getting Bachelors of Arts are seen as getting degrees that are less important or valuable than those with science or engineering degrees.

“Oh, you’re a Philosophy major?” or “How cute – I’m sure it’ll be very useful in your future career as a waiter!”

I’ve actually met engineering students who have told me that pursuing anything other than science or engineering degrees is a pointless waste of time.

“Why would you go to school for anything else?” they ask. “Nothing else is going to make you very much money.”

And there’s definitely truth in that. Engineering majors do top the list as one of the highest earning majors, and so a lot of people are drawn to the field by promises of huge salaries straight out of college.

There’s nothing wrong with that line of thought either. If education isn’t supposed to make me more money, then why am I bothering with it?

To quote philosopher and educator Robert Hutchins: “It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts… it is to teach them to think.” I learned this in one of my “totally useless “philosophy classes.

There’s more to all this than just a degree that will make you tons of money. It’s about enriching our lives and mak-

ing us better and more intelligent. There’s beauty in having an education that clears the fog of ignorance and gives us a clearer view of the world.

Our lives are more fulfilling when we have more knowledge, whether it’s knowledge on the philosophy of Descartes or how to build a bridge.

The tangible value of a liberal arts education – if you believe, unlike Hutchins, that one must even exist – comes from the critical thinking skills that are gained. There’s a great value in being able to communicate with others, to sift fact from opinion, to analyze a problem, see the pros and cons to the various solutions, and then create an effective argument in favor of your side. A study by Richard

Arum, an NYU professor of sociology (you know, the science of common sense) found liberal arts majors scored far better on critical thinking tests than others.

There are differences in thought process. Engineering students are taught to solve problems involving complicated formulas; liberal arts students are taught to solve problems that involve no formula at all.

Try using a formula to explain what causes crime or why there’s poverty, for instance. They think in straight lines while we think in zigzags and scribbles.

By the way, that was a metaphor, a “completely pointless” literary technique I picked up in one of my “waste-of-time” English classes.

No degree is better than any other. In the end, it’s all relative. People have varying interests and skills, and we need all kinds of professions to make our society run smoothly.

We need people to design cars and buildings just as much as we need people to run our government and write opinion articles in the local paper.

If I learned anything from my political science class, it would be that compromise is one of the most crucial elements in our democracy. So here’s my proposal to all the engineers out there: I won’t use my writing skills to criticize you if you’ll promise to use your engineering skills to make sure my plane doesn’t crash.

Better sexual education needed in US for students of all ages tim schrag kansas state collegian

Americans are fickle people when it comes to the subject of sexual intercourse.

We love to hear about who is sleeping with whom and who is not getting any. Sex comes up in popular culture every day on TV, in movies and in songs, but it is taboo in our culture to bring up topics like sexually transmitted diseases. We have built a society that treats sex like a glamorous secret act but refuses to acknowledge its consequences.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s current strategic prevention plan, nearly 19 million new STD infections occur each year in America alone. Of that 19 million, the CDC estimates half of these infections occur among younger Americans

DA

from ages 15 to 24.

The Census Bureau estimates there are more than 311 million people in the U.S., so if 16 percent of the nation’s population is being infected each year, it’s time to start removing the taboo and fixing the problem.

Nancy Muturi, associate professor of public relations at Kansas State U., suggests a general lack of education and interest may feed the taboo that surrounds STDs. “Often people talk about it after the fact which is sometimes too late, especially for women who might not know they are infected until months later,” Muturi said. “STDs are not considered sexy enough to have readers or viewers.”

Muturi is an expert in risk communication involving HIV and AIDS. She has worked with men and women in Africa researching how information about HIV/AIDS infection risks are spread among peo-

ple 65 and older. Muturi said she is researching how younger adults make the decision to use a condom or not when they engage in sex, specifically if alcohol is involved.

By not talking about this problem, we are only increasing the number of people who might suffer from the diseases. We are keeping people from seeking out knowledge or help because of fear of embarrassment.

The National Center for Health Statistics reported in a 2010 study that more than 90 percent of teenagers receive formal sex education before the age of 18. If that’s the case, why are STD rates so high?

Again, signs point to a lack of proper education.

“K-State students are oftentimes woefully lacking in basic knowledge about sex and their sexuality, but so are the majority of college students in this country,” said Kelly Welch, assistant professor of family

studies and human services at KSU. “Today’s young adults are in desperate need of reality sex education.”

Welch said most college students lack understanding of their own sexual development. In addition to misunderstanding and misinformation about the human body and how it functions sexually as well as inadequate knowledge about sexually transmitted infections and how to protect themselves. She currently teaches human development at K-State and has written several books on human sexuality.

Welch said she recommends sexual education classes begin in kindergarten and to do so, our culture must move beyond having sex and onto having healthy relationships.

“Sex is not just about body parts and penis in vagina equals sexual intercourse,” Welch said. “Why can’t we begin in kindergarten to teach children about respect? About

communication? About caring? About empathy? About understanding? All of these relationship characteristics are foundational to a healthy sex life. Yet because so many people, one, teach that sex is nothing more than penis/vagina, and two, assume that ALL aspects of sex involve eroticism or are dirty/naughty, we miss out on educating our young children.”

The current primary focus of sex education for many schools in the U.S. is abstinence-only education, which involves promoting abstinence and uses STDs and HIV as reasons to abstain from sex. Unlike abstinence-only education, comprehensive sexual education offers information about condom and contraceptive use, as well as holds discussions about abortion, STDs and HIV. In a 2002 study done by the AIDS Research Institute at the University of California, San Francisco researchers advo-

cated for the teaching of comprehensive sexual education on the grounds that it better addresses the risk of adolescents’ likeliness to participate in sexual acts.

“Like it or not, sexual activity is a reality for teens in America, and it is hard to imagine a school-based intervention, which will magically undo the media pressures and natural hormonal urges that young people experience,” the researchers wrote. “Facing up to this reality means implementing responsible programming that truly meets the test of science and the real world needs of the young.”

In short, if we are going to make any progress and move past this cultural taboo, we need to start talking about sex, its consequences and everything in between. If we do not, future generations will continue to look for information about sex and probably be misinformed.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you open up to change and new possibilities. Reach out for knowledge, different opinions and new ways of looking at issues. Many of you will travel; others will meet people who, by their very lifestyle, present a different perspective. Some of you will decide to sign up for a workshop or a class. You will gain through groups and friends. If you are single, a friendship could become more. If you are attached, the two of you will socialize more, drawing you closer together. CANCER is loyal and nurturing.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Pressure builds, perhaps more because of your perspective than anything else.

Your energy is so high, others might feel left behind. Express your caring in a way that counts with a boss. Be as direct as possible. Tonight: Hang close to home.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Express the bottom line. Don’t settle for what doesn’t feel right. Detach and empathize, but don’t toss yourself into another person’s problem. You push hard to achieve certain results. Don’t be intimidated. Tonight: Hang out. Plan your weekend.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Indulge, but with wisdom. You easily could go overboard. Knowing when to call a halt to a situation could be instrumental. Attempt not to spend as much right now, as you could be suppressing some upset that way. Tonight: Treat a friend to some munchies.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You might want to do something very different from in the past. Your anger might mount and cause a problem where you least expect it. A domestic matter could be weighing you down. Don’t challenge someone. In the long run, it will be a bad decision. Tonight: Go for what you want.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH The best action you can make is to pull back and take a much-needed timeout. Sometimes you gain a lot more insight by not being in your normal environment. Be willing to update your perspective, even if you are vested in the matter. Tonight: A much-needed timeout.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH A meeting or group of friends could be more instrumental than you think. A strong male figure might push you very hard. Handle this person’s energy with the knowledge that he cares. Tonight: Where your friends are.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Pressure builds, and you react by being on the move. Is there a way of delegating or prioritizing? You might feel a lack of confidence from someone in your immediate circle. Use care with your attitude toward someone you have to answer to. Tonight: A must appearance.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Be willing to take a risk, even if you might feel a bit negative. Work first on your mental perspective. Your attitude could put you in a make-or-break situation. Others will pick up the difference and respond accordingly -- if not

immediately, then soon. Tonight: Be imaginative.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Knowing when to cut your losses could be very important. After a meeting, what you have been trying to avoid smacks you in the face. Though you might not want to act, you see the need. An earthy, day-to-day pal has some ideas. Tonight: Go along with another person’s suggestion.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH An associate might not stop harping on a situation until you acknowledge what is happening. Ask yourself if it would be easier to drop the game. Walk away from a combative person right now. Don’t let anyone ruin the moment. Tonight: Just not alone.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Listen well. Make a point of taking extra time with key people in your daily routine. Sometimes we don’t realize the importance of these connections. Express your gratitude and appreciation.

Tonight: Don’t push.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your creativity flourishes. How you feel about a difficult person might need to be verbalized. This person needs to know your reaction. If you want to back away, you will feel clearer. You cannot put off certain people anymore. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.

Nick Arthur sports writer

Izzo-Brown deserves more recognition My first conversation with West Virginia women’s head soccer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown was unlike any other inaugural encounter with a collegiate athletics’ coach.

Her tone was welcoming, her demeanor was professional and her style was one-of-a-kind.

“This is a great time. I just got off the playing field,” Izzo-Brown said when she answered the phone. “My feet are tired, and I’m sitting on my bench overlooking Dreamswork Field” In a nutshell, that statement describes the career of IzzoBrown at West Virginia University. She put in a hard day’s work, propped up her feet and overlooked the successful empire she has built in her 15 seasons at WVU. A quick look through my media guide, and it is astonishing to see some of the information and statistics recorded since the women’s soccer program played its first game in 1996.

Izzo-Brown has built one of the best women’s soccer programs in the country from scratch, and I would highly consider betting a steak dinner that you had no idea.

Since being named the program’s first women’s soccer head coach in 1995, Izzo-Brown has never had a losing season and finished .500 just once, in 1999.

That’s something men’s basketball head coach Bob Huggins isn’t able to say, as he’s had two losing seasons in his illustrious head coaching career.

Izzo-Brown has also led the Mountaineers to eleven consecutive NCAA appearances – the ninth longest streak in the nation.

And don’t even ponder that the team may play a weak schedule; Izzo-Brown has defeated a top 10 opponent in five of the last six seasons.

It’s a different sport, but legendary Duke men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski has only defeated a top 10 opponent in three of the past five seasons.

Before I go any further, let me just say that I am not saying Coach Izzo-Brown should be placed in the same company as Huggins or Krzyzewski.

But, I would like these statistics to put in perspective to what Izzo-Brown has accomplished throughout her coaching career at West Virginia and how special it truly is that she’s been able to accomplish it.

Dreamswork Field is the newly constructed women’s soccer practice facility. It took nearly 15 years for Izzo-Brown to get her own practice field.

During her first seasons as head coach, it was common for the women’s soccer team to share Mountaineer Field with former head coach Don Nehlen’s football team.

Dreamswork Field has given Izzo-Brown the opportunity to continue to do what she has always done - help transform good players into great ones.

She has coached nine allAmericans, and nine of her former players currently play professionally.

Let me remind you one more time, West Virginia has only had a women’s soccer program for 15 seasons.

Izzo-Brown has won two Big East Conference championships - one in 2007 and another last year. Since 1996, the West Virginia football and basketball teams have combined to only win two outright Big East titles.

Izzo-Brown also has a career winning percentage of .696.

Not only is Nikki Izzo-Brown a top-notch head coach, she is also a superb person.

She is the type of person who can light up a room when she enters. She is that really cool aunt who always talks to you when you cross paths.

Izzo-Brown not only effectively instructs her athletes about how to play the game of soccer, but also the game of life.

So, please do Coach IzzoBrown and her players a favor by giving them what they deserve and have earned. Take a trip over to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this season and watch one of the best programs in the country. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

IT STARTS UP FRONT WVU defensive line brings mix of experience and talent in 2011 by cody schuler sports writer

The West Virginia defense is out to prove that a successful season will start on the defensive line.

Defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich has been coaching at WVU since 1979, and over the years he has found that one general statement always rings true.

“The closer you get to the ball, generally speaking, the better the football player you have to be,” he said. “You have to build a football team from the inside out.”

Armed with a talented assortment of linemen at his disposal, Kirelawich intends to do just that – starting with nose tackle.

With the departure of three-year starter Chris Neild, Kirelawich’s biggest task this season is to find a viable replacement that can serve as the strongpoint at the front of the defense.

“Our deal here defensively has hinged on ‘do we have a good nose (tackle) or don’t

Redshirt senior defensive lineman Julian Miller has started 27 games in his WVU career. Miller ranks fourth all-time in career sacks at West Virginia with 21.5. we,’” he said. “If we’re going to play an odd front like we do, it always required a guy that could line up and be a good nose guard.”

The question Kirelawich has to answer is this: Who is capable of performing the

role best?

Just like for a number of other positions on the team, a battle has been brewing that aims to provide a solution to this question.

“I think (redshirt junior) Jorge (Wright) can do it,”

Kirelawich said. “Is he going to be another Chris Neild?

Not yet he’s not.

“The only thing I want out of Jorge is to get better every day. Just get a little bit better, play a little bit longer, be a little bit more explosive.”

Competing with Wright for the starting job at nose tackle is redshirt senior Josh Taylor.

Taylor was penciled in as the starter during the spring while Wright was serving a suspension.

“Josh Taylor is a guy that’s proven he is a good player,” Kirelawich said. “He’s not flashy, but he gets the job done.”

For now, behind Wright and Taylor at nose tackle is junior college transfer Shaq Rowell.

Rowell tallied 32 tackles and two sacks at Iowa Western, and could factor into the mix later in the season once he gets more acclimated to the scene.

At 6-foot-4, 308 pounds, Rowell is the biggest body the Mountaineers have on the defensive line.

“With big Shaq coming in third there, (he’s) just gotta get a feel for what he’s doing. Shaq doesn’t have to be a good player by Marshall,” Kirelawich said. “If I need

Irvin wants to silence doubters in final season by cody schuler sports writer

For the Green Lantern, it takes the presence of a Power Ring to perform superhuman feats. For Spider-Man, it took a bite from a radioactive spider. For West Virginia defensive end Bruce Irvin, his power comes from skipping trips to the barber and letting his hair grow out.

“It’s my hair,” Irvin said.

“I’m telling you, it’s my hair.

If I’d cut my hair, I’d probably lose an inch and weight.”

The freakishly athletic senior became a Morgantown sensation a year ago has the speed of a receiver and the strength of a lineman.

Defensive line coach Bill Kirelawich sees this rare skill set daily at practice, but he still is continually amazed by what Irvin can do.

“For his size, he’s not supposed to be that strong. He’s a strong, strong guy; naturally strong,” he said.

Irvin may be 90 pounds lighter than redshirt freshman offensive lineman Quinton Spain, but that doesn’t stop him from going right at him during practice – according to teammates, this is something he does on a daily basis.

Whether you believe his reasoning or not, it is in the best interest of Mountaineer fans to hope opposing teams don’t sneak into Irvin’s apartment and trim him up while he sleeps.

The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Irvin has only played one season at West Virginia, yet his exploits resound through generations of Mountaineer fans as almost mythical.

Last season, as you well know by now, Irvin recorded 14 sacks – good for secondbest in the nation. Used primarily on third down, Irvin came into games and wreaked havoc on opposing quarterbacks.

Watching his dreads fly through the crisp, autumn air was almost like watching a tightly bound group of missiles heading towards a target.

Something you should know about that analogy and Bruce Irvin: He has

incredible aim.

He only played around 200 plays last year, averaging a sack a little over every 14 plays.

He tallied multiple sacks in five games, including two sacks and a forced fumble against North Carolina State in the Champs Sports Bowl.

So, how do you improve on a year like that? Well, one way to do that is statistically.

“I want to do better than I did last year – of course I want to have more than 22 tackles,” he said.

Aside from that, though, Irvin echoes the sentiment of almost all the other seniors by declaring his team-based

ambitions.

“I want to end my senior season on a better note than the seniors did last year,” he said. “It’s about winning. It’s about this team.”

Along with fellow senior defensive lineman Julian Miller, Irvin has acknowledged the importance of being a leader to his teammates.

“They have to see us; we have to lead by example,” he said. “We have older guys like Julian that are getting us right and showing us how (Jeff ) Casteel wants (the underclassmen) to play.”

SPECIAL NOTICES

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

by derek denneny sports writer

To West Virginia senior defender Ray Gaddis, personal success is great, but team success comes before it all.

“I think through our experiences that we’ve had together, and the guys that have been here, we should translate that to making ourselves better,” Gaddis said. “Our coaching staff has done a great job of making sure we understand things.

“We just need to know we can compete on anybody’s pitch at any level.”

Gaddis, a second team preseason all-American selection, will lead the WVU men’s soccer team this season in hopes of parlaying last season’s success into another big year for the up-and-coming program.

These accolades are nothing new to Gaddis, who was an extremely decorated player coming out of high school in Indiana.

In 2008 he was named to the NSCAA all-American high school team.

He was also named a top defensive recruit at the Adidas soccer camp, and he was named second team all-state twice. He was a first team allIndiana selection one time.

Gaddis is no stranger to being a high-profile player and is ready to lead an experienced group to its full potential in 2011.

Part of last season’s success could be attributed to goalkeeper Zach Johnson, who

brooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum

Senior defender Ray Gaddis was recently named to the Hermann Trophy watch list. The Hermann Trophy is the college soccer equivalent of the Heisman Trophy. saved 56 shots last season.

Johnson graduated in the spring, and the Mountaineers are now looking for someone to fill that leadership void on the back line.

Gaddis thinks that although this year’s goalies are new, they aren’t young, and they will have a great line of defense in front of them.

“We have great personnel (on the backline), which will help our new goalies,” he said.

“I believe we will have a top 10 defense in the nation, that’s one of Coach (Marlon) LeBlanc’s staples here.”

WVU will need its defense to be strong this season as the Mountaineers will be facing one of the toughests schedules in the nation.

Not only will the team have to survive a conference schedule loaded with talented teams, they will face top programs such as Maryland, Virginia

and the University of California- Santa Barbra.

“The Big East is the toughest or second toughest conference in the NCAA,” Gaddis said. “You have to take good care of your body and stay focused because any Big East team can beat you any day.

You can’t take any days off, and that’s something you just learn with experience. “ LeBlanc is confident his captain will help guide his team this season.

“Ray is a tremendous athelte and a tremendous leader. He will lead our defense this season.”

Gaddis is up for the challenge, though.

“Its going to be a good year for us. We are ready to play with the best,” he said. “ We will face some great teams, but we’ve got a great group.” derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

Freshman Jabarie Hinds cleared to play in 2011-12 by michael carvelli sports editor

West Virginia freshman Jabarie Hinds was cleared by the NCAA Eligibility Center on Wednesday and will be able to play for the Mountaineers in the 2011-12 season.

Hinds, a highly touted point guard out of Mount Vernon, N.Y., was widely considered to be the top player in West Virginia’s 2011 recruiting class.

The announcement comes

just two days before Friday’s deadline to register for classes for the fall semester.

The 6-foot, 170-pound Hinds, who played at the same high school as current WVU forward Kevin Jones, had to finish a few classes and pass the tests needed to become eligible to play at WVU this season.

It’s the second time this week the Mountaineers have had one of their incoming freshmen cleared to play.

The other freshman point

guard in the 2011 class, Gary Browne, found out a day before the team left for Italy that he wasn’t eligible, but found out last Wednesday that he would be cleared to play.

Now that he can play, Hinds will join Browne, shooting guard Aaron Brown, forwards Keaton Miles, Pat Forsythe and Tommie McCune as the scholarship freshmen on this year’s WVU team. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

college basketball

NCAA gives Bruce Pearl 3-year penalty KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NCAA said it wanted to send a clear message by slapping Bruce Pearl with a three-year show-cause penalty: Coaches are responsible for their programs.

The sanctions announced Wednesday make it harder for the former Tennessee men’s basketball coach to get another college job anytime soon. Pearl is prohibited from recruiting during the next three years, and a school would have to convince the NCAA to change its mind if it wanted to hire him during that time.

“As these allegations are becoming more and more regular, it’s very clear that a head coach is being held

d-line

Continued from page 7 Shaq, I need (him) to come on at the end of the year.”

The other two positions on the defensive line will be held by arguably the best duo of pass-rushing defensive ends in the Big East Conference, seniors Bruce Irvin and Julian Miller.

Irvin will no longer be a third down specialist, which is a title he is looking to permanently abolish.

“I didn’t come here to play third down, it just kind of happened,” Irvin said. “I feel like I got a lot of stuff to prove.”

Irvin feels that proving himself is a necessity after reading an offseason’s worth of commentary on his perceived shortcomings.

“I hate hearing the term ‘every-down player,’” he said.

“I don’t think (Coach Kirelawich) would put me in the game if he didn’t think I could run the play.”

Miller is making the switch

responsible for his program,” said Britton Banowsky, Conference USA commissioner and vice-chair of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions.

The NCAA said Wednesday it had punished Pearl for lying to investigators about improperly hosting recruits at his home and urging others to do the same. Former Pearl assistants Tony Jones, Jason Shay and Steve Forbes face the same sanctions, except they were only given one-year show-cause penalties for their own roles in misleading the NCAA. “Those who are not forthcoming and not cooperative and unethical in their responses, the committee takes that very seriously, and they will be

To beef up for his new position, Miller put on 20 pounds.

“I was going to gain the weight regardless, especially if I had aspirations of playing at the next level,” he said.

“The amount (of weight) that I put on in the amount of time is just surprising to me.”

Miller will now line up on the strong side of formations, a position Scooter Berry had last year.

As a senior leader, Miller is taking time to set an example for younger players, doling out advice alongside other seniors when he sees necessary.

“That’s one thing we’ve really been focusing on as seniors,” Miller said.

“Everybody’s going to play a role in being a leader on this team.

“We’ve been there, we’ve seen it all.”

Will Clarke.

An injury early last season hindered his freshman campaign, but he has worked hard this offseason and caught the eye of both Kirelawich and head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“I think Will Clarke Is like Marcellus Shale,” Kirelawich said. “He’s untapped millions.

He’s got great potential. Now it’s his third year; I want to see some of that potential.”

Redshirt junior J. B. Lageman, true freshman Ben Tomasek and redshirt freshman Trevor Demko have steadily improved and have proven they are capable enough of contributing in games.

“If a guy’s good enough to play, he’s going to be good enough to get into the rotation,” Kirelawich said. “I have no reservations about playing a guy that I think is game ready.

“If they’re ready to go, they’re going to get into the game; they’re going get their feet wet.”

In her first year as West Virginia’s head coach, Tina Samara’s team finished 8-14.

WVU rebuilding in Samara’s second year by robert kreis sports writer

The rebuilding process of the West Virginia tennis team, which began when head coach Tina Samara was hired almost a year ago, is finally starting to show some structure.

Samara established a foundation for the program with her first recruiting class with the Mountaineers.

Samara brought in four recruits this year from across the globe. Two of the three freshmen brought in are international players. Ikttesh Chahal is from Chadigarh, India, while Jade Allen hails from London, England, and Freshman Madison Hromada, a Lorain, Ohio, native, make up the incoming class.

The final recruit is transfer junior Lea Jansen, from Washington.

The four newcomers are expected to impact the team right away just by providing better competition to players during practice.

“Not all (players) are impacting matches, but practice,” Samara said. “Practice lacked the level we wanted last year.”

Samara hopes the high intensity practices will make her team better in matches.

She has high expectations everyone will contribute immediately, including the four newest Mountaineers.

“If a (freshman) is the best player on the team, they will absolutely play,” Samara said. “We are starting from scratch. I hope the recruits come in to play.”

Of the recruits, Samara particularly expects Chahal to contribute to the team.

Chahal was a nationally ranked tennis player in her native India, where she won multiple tournaments.

Samara expects Chahal and the other three recruits to mesh well with the five returning team members and thinks if her team can have

better chemistry this season, it will be the first step in transforming from a good team to a great team. “(Team chemistry) is a huge intangible,” Samara said. “Just because you are the best team on paper does not mean you are the best team.”

Samara can already see a dramatic improvement in the Mountaineers chemistry.

She expects everyone to bring leadership qualities on and off the court this year, even the newcomers.

But the characteristic she wants to see the most from her team is accountability.

Samara wants her team to resolve issues before they get to her or her coaching staff.

“If rules get broken I expect the team to take care of it without having to deal with the coaches,” said Samara.

Also, do not look for anyone with a “C” on their chest on Samara’s team. She does not believe in team captains.

Instead Samara would rather see team leadership develop through out the team and come from all directions.

Physically, Samara wants players who are hard working and in tip-top shape.

She claimed the five returning members looked like the worked hard and came back more fit than last year.

Samara also hopes they are ready to maintain a higher level of commitment as well, a trait she saw this summer.

“A few girls in summer school were asking to hit,” Samara said. “So they got more time on the court where they typically would not.”

Samara hopes that the foundation she is laying, and the intangibles she is instilling in this year’s Mountaineers, will be the beginning of a flourishing women’s tennis program at West Virginia. robert.kreis@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 7 So, what does Bruce Irvin do when he isn’t sacking quarterbacks or maintaining that magical hair? Well, he reads, of course.

In his spare time Irvin likes to read articles written about him. Heck, what college athlete doesn’t? The thing is, Irvin is different in the aspect that he only reads articles that put him in a negative light.

“It motivates me,” Irvin said of the negative press. “I like seeing what people think. When I’m at practice and (I’m) tired, I think about message boards or an article that called me overrated, and I think, ‘Man, I have to get it,’ because I have people out here doubting me.”

Irvin was particularly irked by his positioning on college football writer Phil Steele’s list of the country’s top defensive ends.

After his successful junior year and being named preseason all-Big East and placed on the Bednarik (national defensive player of the year award) watch list, Steele placed Irvin at No. 38 on his list.

“I don’t even know 38 defensive ends in the whole nation,” Irvin said.

Being called overrated is

After being used predominantly on third downs in 2010, Irvin will play every down this season.

Back

something he doesn’t understand, given the success he saw in such limited exposure last season.

Regardless, Irvin’s tone for the season has been set.

“I don’t understand how you can be overrated if you play 200 plays and you have 14 sacks,” Irvin said. “From a personal aspect, I feel like I have a lot of stuff to prove.

“And I will prove it come Sept. 4.”

As long as Marshall, and the rest of the Mountaineers’ schedule, doesn’t cut off those definitive dreadlocks, expect Irvin to prove his naysayers wrong and stake his claim as one of the best defensive ends in the country. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu
