State politicians address realignment by michael carvelli sports editor

With reports that Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell has been pushing Big 12 Conference officials to consider Louisville as the league’s next member, West Virginia politicians decided it was time to get involved, too.

West Virginia senators Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller, as well as Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito, issued

statements Wednesday regarding West Virginia University’s place in conference realignment.

Manchin said he hopes the rumors about McConnell’s involvement in the issue aren’t true.

“If that happened, I will ask for a Senate investigation. I don’t believe that’s the way the game should be played,” Manchin said. “I hope the stories we’re hearing have no merits or facts to them, but with that

being said, this is the action we have available to us, and this is the action I would take as a representative of the state of West Virginia.”

Rockefeller said teams should be chosen solely based on their performance, and should not be swayed by political influences.

“The Big 12 picked WVU on the strength of its program – period,” Rockefeller said in a statement. “Now, the media reports that political games

may upend that. That’s just flat wrong. I am doing, and will do, whatever it takes to get us back to the merits.”

In Capito’s statement, she questioned why politicians were getting involved in the ever-changing landscape of college football, instead of focusing on other important issues.

“With 9.2 percent unemployment rate, it’s disappointing that folks in Washington (D.C.), are meddling in our

college sports,” Capito said.

“WVU brings with it a strong athletic program, loyal fans and a strong alumni base – and deserves to be in the Big 12. If there is political interference going on, it needs to stop now.”

The New York Times was the first to report the new developments Wednesday.

The report claimed that McConnell had been communicating with Oklahoma University President and for-

McNair Scholars Program seeks prospective students by mike atkinson staff writer

West Virginia University McNair Scholars Program is searching for students interested in pursuing a research or academic doctorate degree after undergraduate study.

The program is funded through the U.S. Department of Education and selects 25 students each year, said Assistant Director for the McNair Scholars Program Betty Mei. “It is a wonderful program,” Mei said.

“Not only do students get paid to be in it, but they also get to travel to see graduate school campuses and to scholars con-

ferences where they can meet staff and other students involved with the program.”

Mei said this networking gives McNair scholars a competitive edge over other students in graduate-level research.

The program is to prepare students for graduate school by providing them the experience needed in research and mentorship, she said, and McNair scholars receive tutoring to help maintain their GPA. “Students get graduate school training while they are still an undergrad. We are grooming them to become competitive,” she said.

Mei said many graduate

schools will also waive the application fee for McNair scholars.

“Students end up saving hundreds of dollars on applications to grad school,” Mei said.

Hellen Nditsi, a senior psychology student originally from Ghana, has been a McNair scholar since her junior year of college.

“I didn’t want to end my education at the bachelor’s level.

The scholars program gives me the opportunity to learn about grad schools and fulfill my dream of earning a Ph.D.,” Nditsi said.

Nditsi heard about the program’s outstanding reputation

prior to applying.

“I had friends who were scholars who told me about the program and all of the benefits they were receiving, so when I found out I had been accepted I was very excited,” Nditsi said.

Nditsi said the program has helped her significantly.

“It helped me with preparation for grad school and gave me experience with mentorship in psychology. It helped me network with different students in the program as well,” she said.

Nditsi said becoming a McNair scholar can be an opportunity for students to prog-

New online service puts students in control of accounts by mackenzie mays

MyMountaineerCard, a new one-stop online service, will give West Virginia University students more control of their Mountie Bounty accounts and everyday tasks.

The new site will allow Mountaineer Card users to make electronic deposits, view their spending history and deactivate an account if a card is lost or stolen.

The service also provides a laundry management feature, which allows students to check machine availability, reserve a machine and view wait times.

Brandon Twigg, assistant director of Mountaineer Card Services, said the project has been in the works for about 10 years and will work to make students’ lives easier by allowing them access to their accounts 24 hours a day with an Internet connection.

“Every feature is pertinent to student life. Parents have requested to have the ability to make payments for years.

Now, it’s much more efficient – it will make a lot of things easier for both students and parents,” Twigg said. “This puts students in charge; they don’t have to worry if their accounts are getting low.

They can check their balance

just like a bank statement.”

Twigg said the program is special because it was designed for WVU students by WVU students.

“This was a student initiative from the beginning, and they’ve really been the driving force behind this,” Twigg said. “Now that the site is live, the students are the ones who are going to determine whether it’s successful or not.”

WVU Student Government Association Governor Ryan Campione is one of the students who helped make the program come to life.

“This system will save those students living in residence halls time by helping to prevent fruitless trips to a full laundry room or a dining hall with no meals left on their plan,” Campione said.

“MyMountaineerCard will make students’ lives much more efficient by helping to give a bit more control over common mishaps that have previously been uncontrollable for students.”

Campione said the new system will also help to make students more responsible and better prepare them for the real world.

“An important overlooked factor of this system is that it

SGA extends registration for Mountaineers United by jessica lear staff writer

The West Virginia University Student Government Association has extended the preregistration period for Saturday’s four-mile Mountaineers Run United event.

Today is the last day that those interested in participating can sign up.

“The Mountaineers United Run/Walk is a great way for faculty, staff, students, alumni and their families to all come together for a greater cause,” said SGA President Jason Bailey. “We often experience a dichotomy between these various groups, so this race is a micro way we can start to bridge them together.”

The Run/Walk will kick off Mountaineer Week and support the United Way campaign.

“It’s important for someone to take part in the walk in order to give back to the community,” Bailey said. “It shows our dedication to the greater community of Morgantown, and our respect for its residents.”

Bailey said he thinks participation in the race is especially important for students.

“All proceeds from the race are going toward the student fund of WVU’s United Way campaign, so that increases the importance of student participation,” he said.

Those interested in the Run/Walk this weekend can preregister on the Mountaineer Week website for $20 and will receive a T-shirt and other items in return.

“The response so far has been great, and the influx of registration we received at the preregistration’s deadline was the reason for extending the registration,” Bailey said.

Participants who miss the preregistration period can still take part in the event at a cost of $30 and can sign up at the WVU Law School parking lot from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. the morning of the race.

Parking will be available for the participants at the WVU Law School and a bus will transport them to the Mountainlair until 10:45 a.m.

Volunteers are still needed for the race.

Those interested can sign up on the Mountaineer Week website.

SGA, City Council partner to address local issues by joshua clark staff writer

Morgantown City Council has offered a joint partnership with the West Virginia University Student Government Association to address issues facing the citizens and students residing in Morgantown.

“We have similar issues of common concern between our two organizations,” said Wesley Nugent, third ward councilor. “Whether you’re a student or a resident, old or young, it doesn’t matter. Issues of trash, traffic, towing and taxis could use a new perspective. Based on prior meetings with SGA, we would

like a stronger relationship.”

Many of the city’s actions, such as the upcoming Evansdale campus redevelopment and community farmer’s market, are important to students, Nugent said.

“These developments need a long-term perspective,” Nugent said. “Some solutions might take 20 years to come to pass. But I can attest to how much different the University is today compared to 1995, in a positive sense. We need an inclusive and involved culture here in Morgantown and on our campus. This isn’t just the place you go to school – it’s your home right now.”

Nugent suggests attending community meetings,

writing legislators and giving feedback to improve student involvement in city government.

The meeting also addressed the health and safety standards related to mold levels permitted in housing and commercial properties.

“There aren’t any standards for how much mold is too much mold in a house,” said Nancy Key, mold specialist for Environmental Health & Safety at WVU. “There are thousands of types of mold, millions of species of mold – and all landlords believe they are providing a safe and healthful enviroment, but they aren’t. Tenants don’t want to be stuck in substan-

dard housing. This is bad on both ends.”

Key said EHS requests SGA works to pass new legislation outlining exact requirements for action and possible lease violations.

“The problem happens when building systems aren’t working and accumulate over 10 feet of spores,” Key said.

“Some landlords just want to paint over these harmful allergens, which poses serious health risks. With a law in place, associations like the Environmental Protection Agency could get involved and make sure buildings are up to code.”

Iraq war veteran injured during Oakland protests

joshua.clark@mail.wvu.edu

Former top Wall Street trader denies insider trading NEW YORK (AP) — A former board member of Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal charges accusing him of acting as “the illegal eyes and ears in the boardroom” for a friend, a billionaire hedge fund founder sentenced this month to 11 years in prison in the biggest insider trading case in history.

The case, built partially on wiretaps used for the first time in insider trading, has offered unprecedented insight into greed at the highest levels of Wall Street. The arrest of Rajat Gupta took it one step higher.

The indictment unsealed Wednesday accuses Gupta of cheating the markets with Raj Rajaratnam, the 54-year-old convicted hedge fund founder who was the probe’s prime target.

Gupta, 62, quietly surrendered early in the day at the FBI’s New York City office, a few blocks north of the ongoing Occupy Wall Street demonstration against what protesters call a culture of corporate greed.

SGA Governor Zach Redding said the event was a fun way to spread awareness across campus about the need for sustainability efforts.

“We want to make students aware that if you don’t take care of your environment, it’s going to go away,” Redding said.

Freshman pre-psychology student Mercedes Cunningham said though she makes an effort to live a green lifestyle, the events helped encourage her to continue her efforts.

“It encouraged me to keep doing what I’ve been doing,” Cunningham said. “I’ve been doing a good job so far.”

Senior exchange student and foreign language education student Ja-

His lawyer called the allegations “totally baseless.”

Swarmed by photographers, Gupta left the courthouse shortly before 4 p.m.

Gupta, of Westport, Conn., pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and five counts of securities fraud, charges that carry a potential penalty of 105 years in prison. He was freed on $10 million bail, and conditions require him to remain in the continental United States.

An April 9 trial date was set.

The indictment in U.S. District Court in Manhattan alleges Gupta shared confidential information about both Goldman Sachs and Procter & Gamble at the height of the financial crisis from 2008 through January 2009, knowing that Rajaratnam would use the secrets to buy and sell stock ahead of public announcements.

In a release, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Gupta broke the trust of some of the nation’s top public companies and “became the illegal eyes and ears in the boardroom for his friend cinto Pizano said he took the Sustainability Pledge because it’s something he’s passionate about and feels should be stressed more.

“When you have something so important, such as the environment, things like this should be promoted more,” Pizano said.

Shepherd said she encourages students to visit http://wecan.wvu.edu for more resources on how they can improve their sustainability efforts.

and business associate, Raj Rajaratnam, who reaped enormous profits from Mr. Gupta’s breach of duty.”

Alluding to the wide scope of the prosecution, he added: “Today we allege that the corruption we have seen in the trading cubicles, investment firms, law firms, expert consulting firms, medical labs, and corporate suites also insinuated itself into the boardrooms of elite companies.”

In all, 56 people have been charged in insider trading cases since Bharara took over shortly before Rajaratanam’s October 2009 arrest. Of those, 51 have been convicted and 21 sentenced to prison terms ranging from no prison time to 11 years, the longest prison term ever given in an insider trading case.

FBI Assistant Director-inCharge Janice Fedarcyk said Gupta’s arrest was the latest to occur in an initiative launched by the FBI in 2007 against hedge fund cheats.

“The conduct alleged is not an inadvertent slip of the tongue by Mr. Gupta,” she said.

Participants will then race to the Health Sciences Campus, pass Ruby Memorial Hospital and finish at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Bailey said racers who do not think they can take on the whole four miles can form two-person or four-person teams.

“It can be broken into relay teams,” he said. “A two-person relay divides the race into two-mile segments, and a relay team of four completes one mile each.”

The race will be divided into seven age categories: ages 11 to 17, 18 to 24, 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, 55 to 64 and 65-plus will compete separately.

“His eagerness to pass along inside information to Rajaratnam is nowhere more starkly evident than in the two instances where a total of 39 seconds elapsed between his learning of crucial Goldman Sachs information and lavishing it on his good friend.”

Authorities said they relied on wiretaps for the first time because it became apparent inside traders were employing the tactics of common criminals to evade detection. If the Gupta case goes to trial, taped conversations would be key evidence, as it was in the Rajaratnam trial.

The Rajaratnam probe led to a major spinoff investigation of expert networking firms, with investigators targeting those who enabled corrupt employees at public companies to divulge secrets to hedge fund managers as if their conversations were legitimate research.

Gupta’s lawyer, Gary P. Naftalis, said in a statement Wednesday that his client had only legitimate communications with Rajaratnam. be accessed anywhere an internet connection is available by entering a MyID username and password at http://mymountaineercard.wvu.edu.

Men and women from each age group will be given awards after the race.

“Student organizations with participation will receive points toward the Mountaineer Week Challenge as well as a weighted application at the end of the year when applying for SGA’s Student Organization of the Year Award, an award worth $500,” Bailey said.

Occupy Wall Street protesters run from tear gas deployed by police at 14th Street and Broadway in Oakland, Calif., Tuesday.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The clash between Oakland police and Occupy Wall Street protesters left a Marine veteran who served two Iraq tours in critical condition Wednesday after he was struck by a police projectile, a veterans group said.

Scott Olsen, 24, suffered a fracture skull Tuesday as he marched with other protesters toward City Hall, said Dottie Guy, of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. The demonstrators had been making an attempt to re-establish a presence in the area of a disbanded protesters’ camp when they were met by police officers in riot gear.

Several small skirmishes broke out and officers cleared the area by firing tear gas.

It’s not known exactly what type of object struck Olsen, Guy said.

It’s also uncertain whether Olsen, currently a systems network administrator in Daly City, will need surgery, she added.

“It’s still too early to tell,” Guy said. “We’re hoping for the best.”

Curt Olsen, a spokesman for Highland Hospital in Oakland, confirmed that the veteran was in critical condition but could not release any more information.

Tim Weiser planned to be in Morgantown Wednesday at a press conference to announce the move.

However, before the conference could make the move official, the league’s board of directors wanted to perform its due diligence and hold off before officially inviting WVU. “If these outrageous reports have any merit, and especially if a United States senator has done anything inappropriate or unethical to interfere with a decision that the Big 12 had already made, then I believe there should be an investiga-

officials complained about what they described as deteriorating safety, sanitation and health issues at the dismantled camp.

Olsen, who was discharged last year, participated in the protest because he felt corporations and banks have too much influence on the government, Guy said.

A vigil for him is scheduled to be held Wednesday evening near the Oakland City Hall, she said. Multiple attempts to reach Oakland police Wednesday by The Associated Press were unsuccessful, but the department was scheduled to take part in a news conference at 4:30 p.m.

Meanwhile, Oakland demonstrators vowed on Wednesday to return to their protest site just hours after police — who were met as they moved in by pelted rocks, bottles and utensils — cleared hundreds of people from the streets with tear gas and bean bag rounds.

A Twitter feed used by Oakland’s Occupy Wall Street movement called on protesters to return to downtown at 6 p.m. for another round, and some demonstrators vowed to return as soon as possible.

Max Alper, 31, a union organizer from Berkeley, gathered with a handful of other protesters Wednesday at the scene of Tuesday night’s clash.

Mei said anyone with questions about the program can visit the McNair Scholars Office, located in the Student Services Center.

Composer-in-Residence John Beall to perform at CAC

by Ashley Hite A&E Writer

West Virginia University Music Professor and Composer-in-Residence, John Beall, will perform at a faculty recital at the Creative Arts Center tonight at 8:15 in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall.

Beall has served as the Composer-in-Residence at WVU for 33 years and has been educating students in composition, orchestration, band arranging and transcription.

“I love working with my students,” Beall said. “I have a great class of student composers — one of the best I’ve ever had.”

Beall will be interviewing prospective students this fall for the program and stresses the importance of being able to play or sing in order to compose.

“I can’t tell you how important it is to be able to make music - not just think it up, but play it or sing it,” Beall said.

Beall not only contributes to the academics at WVU, but also to its stage. He studied composition at Baylor University and completed his doctoral study at the Eastman School of Music.

Beall has won multiple honors and awards for his contributions to the music world. He received the 1972 Louis Lane Prize for his work,

“Lament for Those Lost in the War” - the 1973 Howard Hanson Prize for his “Concerto for Piano and Wind Orchestra” and was named the 1981 Composer of the Year by the West Virginia Music Teachers Association.

He has also received commissions from the National Endowment for the Arts, Radiological Consultants Association of West Virginia and the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra.

Beall has performed in various cities across the countr y, and his two-act opera based on Edith Wharton’s novel “Ethan Frome” was featured as a part of the Centennial celebrations of the WVU

School of Music.

The first half will showcase his works which were inspired by poets, such as German poet Rainer Maria Rilke and Swedish Diplomat and Secretary-General of the United Nations Dag Hammarskjold. After the intermission, Beall will perform two pieces from his popular opera, “Ethan Frome,” and compositions inspired by the New Testament.

“Hopefully, students walk away thinking they’ve really heard some beautiful songs,” Beall said. “I hope that the hall with be full, and there will be a lot of music lovers there enjoying themselves.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Guitar legend Dick Dale brings sound of the surf to 123 Pleasant Street tonight hunter homistek A&E writer

Surf guitar legend and heavy metal pioneer Dick Dale will take the stage at 123 Pleasant Street tonight at 10, giving Morgantown residents the opportunity to catch a true legend at work.

Dick Dale is best known for his song “Misirlou,” which is the epitome of the rock sound and can be heard in movies such as

“Pulp Fiction” and “Space Jam.” While “Misirlou” is certainly his most-noted song, Dale has released 11 albums and numerous singles over the course of his five decades in the music industry.

The key to such longevity in a brutal business is Dale’s innovation and creativity.

In a time when bands were using low-wattage amplifiers and putting on modest displays of musicianship, Dale set out to revolutionize the game, and that’s exactly what he did.

With the help of Leo Fender

(Fender guitars/amplifiers), Dale pioneered a sound that is now well-known to musiclovers and casual fans alike: a Fender Stratocaster plugged into a cranked-up, high-wattage amplifier.

He then paired this with another staple of modern music and tones to create a massive, rowdy sound that took the music world by storm.

This sound would go on to influence the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour and many others.

Besides revolutionizing the

equipment used by musicians in the ‘50s and ‘60s, Dale forged a genre of surf rock that was then unheard of.

A surfer and free spirit at heart, Dale wanted to play a type of music that people could dance and move to while leaving their inhibitions and worries behind.

Crowds across the nation accepted his rhythmic and passionate style of guitar playing with open arms and Dale broke attendance records at shows everywhere he went.

123 Pleasant Street is happy

Justice keeps fans D.A.N.C.I.N.G. on second album Rebecca Lebherz A&E Correspondent

French electro-rock duo Justice released their new album “Audio, Disco, Video” on Ed Banger Records Monday.

The much-anticipated second album meets fans’ expectations with its catchy and dance-worthy beats.

Listeners just can’t help but nod their heads along to the music and many will be inclined to get up and find glow sticks to break it down to this album.

Justice released their debut album “Cross” in 2007, featuring the hit single “D.A.N.C.E.” The duo, consisting of Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay, has recently gained popularity in the United States,

along with the rise of the electronic music scene.

Popular American disc jockeys who have recently emerged into mainstream music, such as Skrillex, have been influenced by Justice’s sound and other European electronic artists.

The time gap between Justice’s albums is due to the fact that Auge and Rosnay wanted to incorporate instruments they had little experience playing in “Audio, Disco, Video.”

It is evident in their sophomore album that Justice has evolved as musicians.

The 10-track album is trance music meets rock.

“Audio, Disco, Video” has a “Thriller”-esque vibe which can be heard in the first few seconds of the album on “Horsepower,” and is also noticeable on the feature track “Civilization.”

Justice slows it down a bit on a few tracks such as “Parade,” but the majority of the album is fast and upbeat.

Many of the songs make for great club music.

Songs “New Lands” and “Helix” sound like old-school rock and roll revamped with house music infusions. The guitar riffs on “Helix” bring to mind Aerosmith’s “Walk this Way.” While the focus of the album is instrumental, there are lyrics in about half of the songs.

The album features vocals from Ali Love, Midnight Juggernauts’ Vincent Vendetta and Diamond Nights’ Morgan Phalen.

The title track is a lower-key trance tune with an underlying chant-type vocal, which is named after a tattoo.

The only downfall of “Audio, Disco, Video” is its slight redundancy, which could be interpreted as a theme rather

than repetition.

As an album, “Audio, Disco, Video” measures up to Justice’s debut record, but the singles “Civilization” and “Audio, Disco, Video” don’t quite compare to “D.A.N.C.E.,” the group’s first hit single.

If you like Royksopp, Daft Punk, or MSTRKRFT you are sure to like this energetic, new album. Although it’s probably best suited for electronic music fans, it contradictorily offers something for metal and pop fans as well.

Politicians have no place in sports issues While most U.S. politicians are hard-pressed with the economy, high unemployment rates, entitlement programs and a variety of other problems our country has on the table, it seems Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has more important issues to deal with – like the NCAA conference realignment.

Just as the Big 12 Conference was about to announce its acceptance of West Virginia

University to its list of schools, rumors have circulated that McConnell and former senator and University of Oklahoma President David Boren decided to pull some strings and have the Big 12 consider Louisville instead.

The wide world of sports should not be on the agenda of our nation’s political leaders.

McConnell and Boren are blatantly abusing their influences in areas where they have

no precedence.

Thankfully, West Virginia senators Joe Manchin and Jay Rockefeller are concerned about the fairness of the situation.

“If these outrageous reports have any merit , and especially if a United States Senator has done anything inappropriate or unethical to interfere with a decision that the Big 12 had already made, then I believe that there should be an investiga-

tion in the U.S. Senate, and I will fight to get the truth,” Manchin said in a statement. “West Virginians and the American people deserve to know exactly what is going on and whether politics is interfering with our college sports.”

It is understandable for anyone – senator, mayor or even the president – to want what is best for his or her favorite sports team.

But, sports simply is not a

legislative issue.

What’s best for the Big 12 should be decided by the conference’s board of directors.

“The Big 12 picked WVU on the strength of its program, period. Now the media reports that political games may upend that – that’s just flat wrong. I am doing and will do whatever it takes to get us back to the merits,” Rockefeller said.

If Louisville’s admittance to the Big 12 increased jobs in

the state of Kentucky, then the issue would seem relevant to McConnell’s job. But, he is using his influence for reasons not connected to politics.

Politicians need to stick to improving the quality of our economy and welfare, and leave sports alone.

Is there any wonder why the approval rating of Congress is at nine percent? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

American students, protestors should learn from Chile

ap

Tear gas spreads as demonstrators gather near the entrance to the University of Chile during a student protest in Santiago, Chile, Oct. 6.

tomas engle columnist

In what will certainly be known as “The Year of Protests” in future history books, 2011 has now brought us another disenfranchised group ready to take to the streets with their demands.

In the South American nation of Chile, students have been leading protests against their country’s private education system.

Their goals mainly revolve around nationalizing the entire education system under the federal government and subsidizing loans to increase attainability of a college degree.

While their frustration is understandable considering Chile has a youth unemployment rate that has hovered around 30 percent for three years now, their demands – if

fulfilled – will only result in the watering down of all Chilean college degrees and massive accrual of debt for the young working poor.

Another interesting factor is that the protests actually seem to be what Occupy Wall Street’s detractors are accusing a mob of young violent leftists demanding more free services.

Although started in May of this year, the protests began to gain steam in August after Chilean President Sebastian Pinera replaced his Minister of Education and proposed a new education fund, as well as an additional proposal to lower interest rates on student loans.

All of these compromises were rejected by the student demonstrators as not going far enough and called for a two-day general strike Aug. 24 through 25.

In a striking difference with OWS, the students’ protests have been remarkably violent and destructive. In one instance on Aug. 4, 90 carabin-

eros (Chilean federal police) were injured while students set numerous fires in downtown Santiago, burning down an entire department store.

Added into the mix is the involvement of the Communist Party of Chile, which supports the protests and the 38th anniversary of the military’s 1973 coup d’etat of the Socialist government – Sep. 11.

Seemingly emboldened by the timing of the anniversary, protestors and their supporters have been desperately trying to make parallels between Pinera’s legally elected centrist government and Augusto Pinochet’s illegal right-wing military coup of the Socialist government in 1973.

Despite being a part of a broad coalition that describes itself as “Christian humanist,” and even having a political advertisement entitled “The voice for those without a voice” whichpositively features a gay male couple kissing, the protestors continue

to make President Pinera out to be a right-wing reactionary Hell-bent on recreating Pinochet’s dictatorship.

This month, the dialogue between the government and the protestors has seemingly deteriorated.

Student protestors have routinely walked out of negotiations and then claimed it was the government that broke them by failing to meet all their demands.

Government representatives claim that protestors are unwilling to compromise at all and refuse to distance themselves from the violent factions within their movement.

The student protestors in turn say this is a dividing tactic of the government and refuse to disassociate with their more radical and violent factions.

A lesson to be learned from this ongoing event is that compromising can be productive, while violence is always counterproductive.

Thankfully, our own protest

movement in our country has been the opposite of Chile’s.

While people may not agree with everything going on in the OWS protests, they are broadbased enough across the political spectrum to appeal a little bit to everyone.

And, instead of committing acts of destruction, OWS protestors have actually been creating goodwill and responsibly cleaning up after themselves – even creating their own wastedisposal system in New York’s Zuccotti Park.

The main lesson for American students to learn from Chile’s students, may be that of their misguided demands.

As we have known all too well in this country, even though we have public and private university systems side by side, they have all been downgraded in quality due to the corrupting influence of federal aid and loans.

In order to continue getting funds from the federal government, many universities have

to meet certain student quotas that put their academics at a disadvantage, in order to make a college degree more attainable to more people.

In order for these non-traditional students to make payments, they then have to take out loans, since block payments actually encourage universities to incrementally increase their tuition.

The loan industries, along with the federal government, continue this ratchet effect by increasing the loan amount.

With decreasing standards but increasing prices and debt from loans, Chilean students should be avoiding the American college system like the plague, not recreating their own.

American college students should learn from the Chilean student protests that going into debt just to get a devalued degree is not the best option when the economy is down for everyone, degree or no degree.

in June that “Fears of a bubble in educational spending are not without merit.”

College students are taking on more debt than ever. Last year, they took out a record $100 billion in student loans, the highest ever, according to USA Today.

Total outstanding student loans will also set a new record this year, surpassing $1 trillion. That’s more than what Americans owe on credit cards and is double what it was five years ago.

Of course, how can students not take on so much debt with tuition rising like it is?

Tuition has doubled since 2000, and the average cost of a four-year degree is now nearly $48,000, according to the NCES. It’s no surprise that the average 2011 graduate will enter the workforce $27,000 in debt.

That’s one hell of a hole to be in before you get your first paycheck.

Even as students borrow record amounts to pay record tuition rates, some schools continue to mislead them about job prospects.

This week, members of Congress began to pressure the American Bar Association to crack down on law schools that overinflate their graduate employment rates.

While many law schools regularly report that more than 90 percent of their graduates find jobs, over independent reports cast doubt. A survey by the National Association for Law Placement found that only 68 percent of 2010 law school graduates were working jobs that required passing the bar.

It seems even law school – long considered one of the surest paths to a high-paying job –

isn’t guaranteed anymore.

All this points to one simple fact – these days, a college degree is just too expensive.

And with the economy still in the tank, new graduates are walking across the stage to find the only jobs waiting for them on the other side are as baristas at Starbucks. Making lattes isn’t exactly the return they were expecting from their $48,000 investment.

With such high costs, there’s no shortage of critics who deride the college degree altogether. They’ll provide anecdotes of their life or the life of someone they know.

They’ll talk about how they’re making such-and-such an amount, more than their degree-holding friends asking.

“Why would anyone spend so much money for such a worthless piece of paper?”

Don’t be fooled by these sto-

ries. Every economic figure out there, from lower unemployment levels to higher lifetime earnings, proves that a college degree is still the best investment anyone can ever make.

A recent study by the Brookings Institute found that a fouryear degree provided a return of 15.2 percent per year, better than stocks, bonds, gold or housing.

The issue here isn’t if too many people are getting degrees or if a college degree is even worth it anymore. I see a record number of college graduates as a good thing. A more intelligent populace is something to applaud. The issue, rather, is the amount of debt that students take on and how we can best alleviate it.

President Obama is already working to help college graduates. This week, he announced a new “Pay As You Earn” plan

that will allow recent graduates to consolidate their loans and reduce their interest rates.

It will also cap monthly loan repayments at 10 percent of a borrower’s income and will forgive the balance of their debt after 20 years of payment.

This is a great step towards helping those with valuable, but low-paying jobs to deal with incredible student debt burdens.

This will also insure a college degree remains within reach for middle-class America, and that students aren’t stuck paying for such a necessity for the rest of their working lives. In the long term, we need to find a way to get tuition costs and this college loan bubble under control.

Otherwise, millions of today’s college students will be hurt most when that bubble pops tomorrow.

Rising college loan debts will haunt future generations jarrod barry columnist

Just three years after the collapse of the housing bubble that contributed to the Great Recession, we seem to be staring into the face of yet another potential economic bubble – and we are all contributing to it.

Some analysts and commentators are talking about an impending, or perhaps already formed, student loan bubble.

College students today are racking up huge debt to pay for rocketing tuition, all in the name of a degree that isn’t giving some of the return they expected.

Moody’s Analytics agrees, concluding in a report released

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Make it easy.

BORN TODAY This year you sparkle and express high energy. You could be overwhelmed by all the possibilities. Your biggest challenge will be choosing the appropriate course of action. You might feel that a boss carries grudges and can be difficult. You might want to become your own boss. If you are single, you meet many potential sweeties. While you are choosing the person, ask yourself what type of relationship you want. If you are attached, remember your partner -- he or she deserves your time and attention. Be sensitive to his or her needs. SCORPIO pushes you hard.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Allow greater creativity to flow into your work. Be careful with spending, as you could go overboard. Express your caring in a manner in which the other party can hear it. Try to use your imagination and understanding, and this person’s verbal style. Tonight: Having fun.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Remind others of the very fiery and abrupt personality you can manifest. Allow your creativity to fill in the blanks. A gesture later today could patch up any disagreement. Also allow someone else to demonstrate more creativity. Tonight: Let your hair down. Relax with a loved one.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH If you can stay open to extremely assertive people, you will feel OK by the end of the process. A family member could be difficult beyond what you imagine. Your gentle persuasion will win out. You will be able to be heard, but perhaps not immediately.

Tonight: Let another person choose.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Your imagination takes another twist or turn.

You might feel as if someone doesn’t hear your point of view. As a result, you could lose your temper. You also show the ability to soften an associate’s hard stance.

This, too, will pass. Stay centered. Tonight:

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Anchor in and get to the bottom of the problem.

You could be questioning how to handle your frustration and perhaps anger. You know what is necessary, or so you think.

Plan on going down this path solo, if possible. A family member or roommate can be supportive. Tonight: Head home. Put your feet up.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Keep talking and opening doors. Suppressing your feelings would be a mistake, as they will come out in some form. Choose to express your discomfort in a manner in which others can respond to. Work on being more expressive and vulnerable. Tonight: Visit over dinner.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You will want to make a difference. Others might alternate between coaxing, manipulating and a saccharine attitude. Partially because you are hip, none of this will get past you. Take your time making a decision about how to handle your finances and an investment. Tonight: Tumbling into the weekend spirit.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You might be causing more problems for yourself than you realize. What you do might

be in sharp contrast with what you say. Get feedback, especially if you don’t seem to get the appropriate reactions. Tonight: Let your magnetism speak.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH Rethink a personal matter. Much is going on in your mind, but your ideas might not be ripe. Brainstorm with a trusted friend, and ideas will flourish. What emerges could be one of your best ideas. Tonight: Vanish for a while.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You might want to rethink a situation involving a meeting, and perhaps a personal wish or goal, with greater care. In a professional matter, you’ll gain support if you explain your case more clearly. A partner or loved one expresses frustration. Tonight: Meet where people are.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Others think you might be the best person to shoulder a responsibility. Do you have the time? The desire? A partner or set of loved ones could be most upset by your choosing to take on any more. Are you sure this is what you want? Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Take an overview and understand what is motivating an associate or someone in your daily life. You might feel frustrated.

The smart move is to detach and gain more understanding. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music after calling a distant friend.

With its back against the wall in South Orange, N.J., the No. 18 West Virginia men’s soccer team earned a crucial 2-0 victory over Seton Hall.

Heading into the game, WVU had many questions as to the health of a few crucial players in Gaddis, second leading scorer Shadow Sebele and sophomore midfielder Allan Flott.

Out of the three questionable players, only Flott would see the field against the Pirates.

However, the Mountaineers were able to come together and earn three points in the Big East Conference standings, and, more importantly, gain momentum heading into its final regular season game.

Pat Eavenson made his first appearance at goalkeeper since Sept. 9 at UC-Santa Barbara, and posted his second shutout of the season, making one save along the way.

Junior Justin Holmes, who was going to start at the UCSB game did not make the trip because of academics, according to WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

“Let’s just say we don’t sacrifice academics for any player in this program,” he said. “So Justin (Holmes) is home taking care of some academic issues.”

Anthony Reichwaldt made four saves at keeper for the Pirates.

Midfielder Travis Pittman put WVU up late in the second half with his first goal of the season, during the 42nd minute.

The play started with Flott crossing the ball into the box, where it was deflected by Eric Schoenle to the hand of a defender inside the penalty area.

Sebele had taken all of West Virginia’s penalty kicks on the season prior to last night’s game, scoring on three.

But the junior Manassas, Va., native stepped in admirably, driving the ball from the penalty mark, into the back corner of the net.

Pittman also scored against Old Dominion back on Sept. 4, but the game was cancelled due to inclement weather, so his goal was ultimately not counted, and he was happy to break through and net his first goal this year.

“It’s quite a relief,” Pittman said. “I don’t worry too much about scoring goals. I just worry about doing what we have to do to get positive results.

“But, it felt good to finally help the team out beyond helping defensively.”

Freshman Andy Bevin put the game away in the 61st minute off of sophomore Jay Williams’ first assist of the season.

Williams played the ball straight through to the New Zealand native, who beat Reichwaldt for his seventh goal of the season, breaking his tie with Sebele at six heading into the game.

“That second goal broke their back,” LeBlanc said. “And we knew it would.”

Bevin and senior forward Nick Claudio led WVU with two shots each, while six other Mountaineers each attempted one shot, bringing the total to 10.

WVU only held the advantage in shots by a margin of 10-8, but six of its shots were on goal, while only one of Seton Hall’s shots was on frame.

The Pirates took the majority of corner kicks 5-4 over WVU, and the Mountaineers led in fouls 22-14, in a very physical match.

“It was a good result, especially considering we didn’t have our full complement of players,” LeBlanc said. “It was good for us to pick up three points on the road, and now we have to head to Notre Dame and do the same.

Everyone’s feeling good about the result.” brooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum

Junior Asya Bussie is the West Virginia women’s basketball team’s lone returning starter this season.

by ben gaughan

associate sports editor

One of the reasons the West Virginia women’s basketball team has been picked to finish ninth in the Big East Conference this year is because this season it has one of the youngest teams in the conference.

The only senior on the Mountaineer squad is 6-foot-5 center Natalie Burton.

Burton is not the only upperclassman playing on the inside, though, as junior center Asya Bussie looks to improve on a stellar sophomore campaign in which she led WVU in blocked shots with 54 – the second-most blocks in program history for a sophomore.

“We know where our strength is, and it’s inside,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “I think

our guards realize that and are willing to give the ball up to our inside (players), Bussie and Burton. With that being said, our inside does a good job of kicking it back out. Anytime you go inside out, you usually get a better shot.”

Burton played a limited role last year, playing in 28 games and averaging more than six minutes per game, but led the team in field goal percentage, shooting 60.5 percent from the floor with 43 shot attempts.

The Perth, Australia native is not the most vocal player on the team, but leads her younger teammates with her play in practice and her hard work everyday.

“Natalie plays hard, but she kind of does it by action, not verbally,” Carey said. “I think we have leadership on this team, it just has to continue to grow.”

Burton is happy to be a new leader on the team, but admits it is a little different than usual because of her status as the only senior.

“It is really weird. I came in with all the other freshmen in my class and everyone is slowly gone, so it is weird to be the lone senior,” Burton said.

“But I’ve been with some of these girls for a long time now, so it’s not bad.

“I’m trying to make sure that I lead by example and show the young players what you need to do because I’ve obviously been here for four years now.”

Burton is confident in her teammates’ ability to grow and feels their chemistry has already taken off because of the 10-day European trip on which the team traveled

Greg Schiano is in his 11th season as head coach of the Scarlet Knights.

Schiano has successfully built a Rutgers program since taking the helm in 2001.

Schiano and the Scarlet Knights will host No. 24 West Virginia Saturday afternoon at High Point Solutions Stadium in Piscataway, N.J. The veteran head coach put it simply when he described the Mountaineers in his weekly press conference Tuesday.

“They’ve been one of the best teams in the league,” Schiano said.

Rutgers is coming off a loss to Big East Conference foe Louisville last weekend.

Coach Schiano understands his team must bounce back quickly and West Virginia will bring a high-powered offense to town this weekend.

“This is the by far the best skill we’ve faced,” Schiano said. “They have four wide receivers that are as good as we’ve played. Geno (Smith) is playing at a very high level. This will be a big test.”

Rutgers is currently 2-1 in Big East play and are also 4-0 at home this season. With first place in the Big East Conference reachable for both teams, expect Rutgers and West Virginia to put it

all on the line.

“It’s a big football game in the Big East Conference,” Schiano said. “Every game is a championship game since we don’t have one at the end of the year.”

West Virginia was defeated by Syracuse Friday night, 49-23.

The Orange dominated the game on all three sides of the ball. Even though Rutgers played at the same time Friday night, coach Schiano and his staff were able to look at the tape and see why Syracuse was so successful.

“They effectively put pressure on (Geno) Smith,” Schiano said. “They hit him a lot.

The biggest thing they did was score 49 points.”

West Virginia defeated Rutgers a season ago, 35-14.

Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith had an impressive game, while throwing for 352 yards and one touchdown. But, Schiano believes Smith has improved this year.

“He makes every throw with ease,” Schiano said.

“He’s got guys that will go up and compete for it. They don’t lack depth at the skills positions that’s for sure.”

Schiano feels one facet of the Mountaineer offense separates it from prior opponents.

“They’re fast, so the challenge is there,” Schiano said. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

cody schuler sports WRITER

Realignment overshadows Rutgers game The mood surrounding West Virginia’s pending move to the Big 12 Conference is one of both excitement and jubilation.

It seems that WVU has potentially found a safe, stable landing spot for the future of its athletic program.

While I am ecstatic at the prospect of hosting Oklahoma in Milan Puskar Stadium and traveling to Allen Fieldhouse to play Kansas in basketball, there is an issue more pressing at hand – Saturday’s game against Rutgers.

OK, so maybe I’m playing the spoilsport at a party that is just getting started.

I hate to be “that” guy, but my dampening of the mood is for good reason – the bad taste Syracuse left in my mouth after Friday’s beatdown hasn’t left me yet.

It is true that fantastic, new things could be headed West Virginia’s way if – or when – the Mountaineers begin competing in the Big 12 Conference. However, in the here and now, Saturday’s game against Rutgers is one West Virginia can’t look past.

It will be perhaps the most difficult task of the season for players to ignore press conferences, blog posts and breaking news articles concerning the school’s conference future.

However, if the team wants to avoid a repeat of last weekend’s performance, it is going to have to block everything out and stay hard at work on the task at hand.

Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano and the people up in Piscataway, N.J. are coming off a tough conference loss of their own.

After hearing the Mountaineers could be bolting from the Big East, don’t you think extra incentive has been established for the Scarlet Knights to come up with a victory on Saturday?

Rutgers, if anything, is incensed at the notion of West Virginia jumping ship on the Big East. At the same time, they are hoping for a similar bailout from another conference in order to stabilize their own longterm future.

For now, though, the Rutgers football team is practicing harder than ever in an effort to keep its conference championship hopes alive and stick it to yet another school that looks to leave the Big East behind.

If the Syracuse game showed me anything, it was that West Virginia was not mentally prepared for a tough road environment and not yet capable of playing against a physically dominating football team.

Schematically, the coaching staff will make adjustments to compensate for the glaring shortcomings the team displayed Friday night.

What the coaching staff can’t fully do, however, is get inside the minds of each player and improve individual mental focus.

For the past week, West Virginia has had to deal with watching film of a game that it never really had a chance to win.

Faulty kickoff coverage, spotty pass protection, unbalanced offensive attack and weak defensive play – all things each player has been constantly reminded of throughout this week.

If the team gets caught up projecting about the future, watch out – things could get ugly on the road for a second consecutive week.

I think my feelings are pretty consistent with the rest of the Mountaineer fan base when I say I am glad to see West Virginia’s part in the conference realignment game may finally come to an end.

While I anxiously await the bright future West Virginia has both on and off the field, I am terrified at the prospect of a repeated, dismal showing on the road in conference play.

To preserve the lofty aspirations this team had coming into the season, Saturday’s contest against Rutgers is absolutely, positively a must-win.

Earning the automatic BCS berth that comes with a conference title will be exponentially harder to do with two conference losses.

together in August.

The most important part of the Mountaineers’ game that needs to improve before the start of the season is communication on defense, Burton said.

Carey focuses on having strong team defense, and the young players are trying to grasp the system as the preseason comes to an end.

schuler

“We’ve had film sessions and we’ve pointed it out that we need to talk better. We work on that,” Burton said.

Carey feels it may be a roller-coaster season for the Mountaineers, but said Bussie and Burton are his strongest and most experienced players on the court and plans to use them to his advantage on the inside to make the young players better.

That’s why any talk about West Virginia and the Big 12 needs to be put out of sight for these players. West Virginia simply cannot afford to look ahead to the future.

The only thing the Mountaineers need to see right now is red: the color of Rutgers’ uniforms.

GRADING THE KNIGHTS by nick arthur sports writer

Quarterback The Scarlet Knights will start a freshman quarterback in Gary Nova. Nova had been playing extremely well before last week’s debacle against Louisville. He has thrown for 890 yards and seven touchdowns on the season along with five interceptions. Nova has thrown for more than 200 yards only twice; however, he has done a nice job of finding open receivers quickly and has only been sacked eight times this season.
