Local aid focus of new service group by ashley tennant staff writer

A new West Virginia University organization is working to aid homeless people in the Morgantown area.

E4pWVU, a smaller branch of E4p Morgantown, is interested in helping people who are less fortunate. Group members go on service trips to Africa to help people in need of education, support and love,

in addition to assisting local homeless people in the Morgantown area.

“E4pWVU endeavors to work with its partners strategically to improve the depth or breadth of programs offered, based on the four Es abbreviated in our name: Economics, Education, Environment and Energy,” said Presha Neidermeyer, WVU Professor of Accounting and E4pWVU group adviser.

The group is currently

working in partnership with thae local shelter, The Bartlett House, to assist the homeless in various ways.

“This year, we will work specifically on helping clients at the Bartlett House learn skills that will benefit them throughout their lives,” said Miriah Lee, E4pWVU’s president. “For example, we plan on helping them with resume writing and interview skills, which they can practice during a mock interview.”

Maniacs to host Texas watch party

By michael CARVELLI & cARLEE LAMMERS DA staff

As part of Mountaineer Nation Day and Fall Family Weekend, the Mountaineer Parents Club and the Mountaineer Maniacs are partnering to celebrate West Virginia University’s first Big 12 road game this weekend.

The Maniacs and Parents Club are sponsoring an evening-long event, including a game watch party to cheer on the WVU football team as it takes on Texas Saturday.

“We are very excited to team with the Parents Club for our first watch party as members of the Big 12,” said Mountaineer Maniacs Executive Director Chris Northrup. “Our first Big 12 road game will be one that we will never forget, and there isn’t a better way to spend it than cheering on the Mountaineers with all of your closest friends at the Maniacs and Parents Club watch party.”

At 4 p.m., the Maniacs will host a cornhole tournament on the Mountainlair Green.

Northrup said the event will be a great opportunity

for Mountaineer Maniacs to come together, share their Mountaineer pride and prepare for the game.

Following the cornhole tournament, the Mountaineer Maniacs and the Parents Club will, for the first time, host a game watch party at 6:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

Students and parents are encouraged to come together during Fall Family Weekend to enjoy food, receive giveaways and prizes and to cheer on the Mountaineers.

“I think it’s great. It really adds to the day. It’s already going to be such a historical day, and a big day on the football side of things. But I think to bring your parents and to involve families will be something special,” Northrup said.

Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Communications Sabrina Cave said she was excited for the unique opportunity to team up Fall Family Weekend with the Maniacs.

“It is great to be able to co-host a game-watching party as part of our Fall Family Weekend events

ing veterans transition when they first arrive on campus.

According to Alexander, veterans are fighting a battle to graduate because many cannot finish the course work in the number of semesters covered by their benefits.

Alexander says a petition has been created to ensure veterans receive priority registration when registering for classes.

Thus far, it has 1,000 signatures and the goal is 5,000, according to Alexander. “ Transition is our goal,” Alexander said.

“We want to help them get where they need to be when they first arrive so they can finish before their benefits run out.”

Annual campus tradition promotes spirit, camaraderie via facial hair

By Carlee Lammers & Caroline Peters Da Staff

Thirty brave men stepped onto a platform in the Mountainlair Wednesday to put their facial hair to the ultimate test.

The men were there to compete in the annual Mountaineer Beard-Shaving Competition.

Each had his beard shaved off with the hope of it growing back by Oct. 31.

The men will return for judgement Oct. 31 to determine who is scruff enough.

Beards will be judged on quality, length, fullness and overall impressiveness in comparison to the Mountaineer Mascot’s iconic mane.

Lynnsie Doty, chair of the Beard-Shaving Committee, said she believes having a beard is an integral part in assuming the role as the Mountaineer.

“Our Mountaineer will not be shaving his beard, but essentially, gentlemen are challenging him in the sense of how their beards will compare to his. To see if they

Greek campaign aims to end hazing by madison fleck correspondent

Last week, West Virginia University’s Theta Chi chapter of Sigma Kappa launched their RespEKt campaign to raise awareness of the dangers and prevalence of hazing in any organization – whether it is academic, athletic or Greek life.

Three events were held during the week to advocate ending the hazing culture.

Hoops Against Hazing was a basketball tournament held for fraternities, and information about hazing was distributed at the event.

Following the tournament, WVU sororities had an anti-hazing photography contest. The photos showed how different organizations are incorporating their new members into their chapters without hazing.

The third event was a ban-

ner-signing competition in which all members of Greek life signed the banner, symbolizing their pledge to stop hazing.

“Hazing causes individuals to feel like they aren’t equal to everyone else, and that’s not what Greek life is about,” said Brianna Chin, Sigma Kappa president.

“Greek life is about creating a special bond between your brothers or sisters and respecting each other

WVU students react to first Presidential debate

Ap

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama talk after the first presidential debate at the University of Denver Wednesday.

By Carlee Lammers City Editor

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Governor Mitt Romney met Wednesday for the first of three presidential debates.

Members of West Virginia University’s two political organizations, the WVU Young Democrats and College Republicans, hosted watch parties and responded to the debate on domestic policy.

President of the WVU College Republicans Jared Bedekovich said he felt the debate was overwhelmingly in favor of Romney.

“Just the overall – it was obvious to me and everyone that was watching it with me – we had a big watch party

Continued from page 1 she said.

Henson attended Sigma Kappa’s national convention this summer in Houston, where the campaign was launched. At the event, she learned Janel Reedy, the national vice president for communication, started the campaign.

“After learning that someone from my own chapter created the campaign, it really made me want to make the WVU Theta Chi chapter of Sigma Kappa be a loud and carrying voice against hazing on our own campus,” Henson said.

With newfound motivation, she took the campaign into her own hands, and with the help of Janel Reedy and Jillian Blaine, she came up with ideas on how to incorporate all Greek life.

The RespEKt campaign is important because it welcomes new members to the organization, Henson said.

at our headquarters in Morgantown – that Romney won the debate. He was very strong, and he had a lot of specifics,” he said.

“Obama, on the other hand, was really defensive.

There was not a lot of specifics on what he would do in a second term – nothing really new that we haven’t heard before.”

Vice President for the WVU Young Democrats Colin Shock applauded Romney for his performance at the debate; however, he said he believed Obama was the winner.

“All bias aside, I think Mitt Romney did very well in the debate – a lot better than at least I expected. He spoke very well and came off very clear. It wasn’t a sure-

“There is so much more to Greek life than what people see on TV and in the movies. We are truly small corporations where leaders and great individuals are molded,” she said.

Henson said she feels stereotypes have formed on campus for Greek life.

“I feel that some stereotypes are very prevalent here on WVU’s campus as well as for Greek life nation wide,” she said. “(They have formed) due to the way we are portrayed in the media and also because hazing is such a terribly negative thing.”

She said she hopes the RespEKt campaign will end Greek life stereotypes and stop hazing.

“I personally believe it will take time to convince the nation to stop hazing,” she said. “But campaigns like this deliver information in a fun way while showing how negative hazing can be for one’s organization.”

fire win, but I think he did very well,” Shock said. “The reason why I think he did so well was because I think he completely changed his message. Even if you were to talk to him like, a week ago, he would seem much more conservative then he does now.”

During the debate, Obama said he believes the U.S. economy is making progress on the path it is currently on; however, Romney spoke to the need for change to create jobs.

Bedekovich said he believes, if elected, Romney will offer the exact solution the country is in need of.

“Romney is saying, ‘I’m going to do a completely different thing; I am going to try something different.’

Continued from page 1 with one of the largest student organizations on campus,” she said.

Maniacs and students are invited to bring a canned food item to the watch party. In exchange, each participant will be entered in a raffle to win prizes from the Book Exchange and WVU Trademark Licensing.

The canned food items will be donated to WVU’s student food pantry, The Rack.

That’s what we need. He’s offering a different plan; he’s offering something different for health care. He’s offering a different plan for the states to decide what works best for them instead of a ‘onesize-fits-all’,” he said.

Shock said he is unsure and concerned for Romney’s plan for the future.

“It’s interesting, because if you take him on face value, what he was saying during the debate – it seems his approach is different, but I think even President Obama was saying tonight that if you look at what he (Romney) has been saying in the past, it doesn’t match what he was saying in the debate tonight,” Shock said.

“We saw during the primaries that he is willing to

take any position possible just to gain political points.

I’m afraid that if he’s actually elected, he will take any policy position that he wants just as long as he thinks it’s better off politically.”

Bedekovich said throughout the debate he found himself surprised about Obama’s performance.

“I was just surprised how Obama seemed; he didn’t seem very prepared for this.

He was kind of taken back by how forceful Romney was and how adequately Romney was dispelling the myths that Obama was trying to put on him,” he said. “He really just wasn’t on his game.”

Shock said he encourages all WVU students to watch the debates to make informed decisions when

they head to the polls Nov. 6 – regardless of their political beliefs.

“I think anyone and everyone, completely independent of your political beliefs, should definitely watch the debates, and try to become informed on these issues as much as possible,” he said.

“I personally think that someone voting, whether it be Republican, Democrat, Independent – what have you, I still have much more respect for that person than for someone who doesn’t care at all. It affects our lives every day, and I applaud people who take the time to learn these issues.”

The next debate will be the Oct. 11 vice presidential debate.

Mountaineer Nation Day will also be held Saturday.

‘Doctor Who’ bids farewell to the Ponds Laura Ciarolla copy editor

SPOILER WARNING: This article is about the mid-season finale of “Doctor Who’s� seventh season.

If you haven’t caught up to at least season seven, there will most likely be spoilers ahead. I’ll try my best not to give away any endings for this season, though.

Saturday marked the end of Amy and Rory Willams’ time with the Doctor.

In the fall season finale, “Angels Take Manhattan,�

Amy Williams (Karen Gillian), formerly Amy Pond, and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) team up for the last time with the Doctor in a battle against some of “Who’s� most terrifying villains – the Weeping Angels.

This episode brought the cast to America for filming, hence “Manhattan� in the title. Fan presence surprised even Matt Smith, as they were surrounded daily while shooting in Central Park.

Smith expressed mixed feelings toward the episode on BBC America.

While the episode was exciting to film, it is the last time he will spend on set with co-stars/friends Gillian and Darvil.

He said, “I defy you if you’re a ‘Who’ fan to not have a lump in your throat somewhere by the end of it. And if you don’t, then you’re an alien, and if you’re an alien, then I’m coming to get you.�

In an interview with BBC America, Darvil said “it was like reading the last chapter of the best book you’ve ever read,� about receiving the final script for the fall season.

This season has seen a change in Amy and Rory’s characters. Their struggle balancing their lives in the

http://amherststudent.amherst.edu

Dr. Who airs Saturdays at 8 p.m. on BBC America . real world and their time spent traveling with the Doctor has been an ongoing theme throughout their time on the show.

Their friends are beginning to notice them aging faster, and they are beginning to crave a simplistic lifestyle.

While they were previously often referred to as “the Ponds,� a real sign of the duo’s emerging identities away from the Doctor is the shift to “the Williams.� Amy Pond no longer exists as the Doctor knew her, and the couple is ready to establish an identity separate from the madman with the box.

“Angels Take Manhattan� begins with the Doctor, Amy and Rory enjoying a simple day in Central Park. Amy begins to notice the bags under her eyes, and the Doctor passes the time reading a titillating detective novel written by a woman named Melody Malone.

In a heartbreakingly symbolic moment, the Doctor rips out the last page before finishing. “I always rip out the last page of a book. Then it doesn’t have to end.�

Meanwhile, while Rory makes a coffee run, New York’s statues come to life.

Rory is suddenly trans-

ported into the 1930s, where River (Alex Kingston) is already waiting. Of course, it is then up to the Doctor and Amy to save them.

The Doctor has always had a very strong attachment to humans, and his companions are a crucial component of the series – as well as the Doctor’s own life.

In one of the final scenes of the episode, when Amy is accepting her fate separate from the Doctor, she warns him to “never travel alone�; River warns him of this again later. And, as the preview for the Christmas episode suggests, he will,

in fact, heed her advice.

Jean-Lousie Coleman already made a surprise appearance in the first episode of the season, “Asylum of the Daleks.�

However, her character’s (Oswin) fate didn’t seem to be left open-ended, and many fans (including myself ) are anxious to see how she will be worked into the series. “I think she’s going to be absolutely amazing,�

Darvil said to BBC America. He also advises the new companion to enjoy the experience as much as possible while she can.

A teaser trailer for the 2012 Christmas special

featured an appearance

by Coleman, exposing her upcoming involvement in the series. You can watch this preview at http:// BBCAmerica.com.

Though I have mixed feelings about the companions’ departure, my faith in “Doctor Who� remains strong.

I remember expressing similar distaste with the series when Rose left in season three, but my confidence was quickly restored at the start of the fourth season – as I’m sure it will be with the remainder of the seventh. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Louis V, Miu Miu and Elie Saab give grand finale PARIS (AP) — Marc Jacobs, more than anyone, knows that it’s not what you say but how you say it. The Louis Vuitton showman thus capped an incredibly strong Paris fashion week – with help from artist Daniel Buren – by building a life-size shopping mall inside the Louvre.

Understatement is not a word in Jacobs’ vocabulary, so a collaboration with the minimalist artist – who made the famed striped columns in Paris’ Palais Royal – might have raised eyebrows. But Buren rose to the occasion. “(The Louvre) was already big, all I did was make it bigger,� said Buren, with trademark humor. “It was others that called me a minimalist, not me.�

The sky’s the limit when you’re backed by Europe’s richest man and LVMHowner Bernard Arnault, with whom he mingled before the show.

Meanwhile, Miuccia Prada, who herself presides over a lucrative fashion empire, felled a small forest in aid of her presentation for Miu Miu, one of the final day’s other big shows. Fashion insiders clutched wooden invitations as they walked down a wooden “red carpet� and into the auditorium with a 30-meter (yard) wooden runway, and the show’s huge w o o d e n - t i e re d seating.

There was some irony that the collection was held at Paris’ grand Environmental Council.

Paris Fashion Week designers are often described as show-stopping, but none more than Elie Saab. The Lebanese designer threw huge graphic chunks of moon rock down the catwalk as set, to evoke his more geometric theme. Unfortunately, one attendee didn’t pick up on the visual props and tripped head over heels – slightly delaying the show.

Trends on the ninth exhausting day of the season included prints – both graphic and colored – as well as sheer transparencies and cutouts.

LOUIS VUITTON

What do you get if you mix up the world’s most famous checks and Paris’ most famous stripes?

The answer: Louis Vuitton, whose 1960s style spring-summer fashion show twinned the iconic checked Damier pattern with a set designed by artist Daniel Buren.

Buren created four fullscale escalators, featuring his signature 8.7cm stripes, which wowed spectators inside. “It’s exquisite, beautiful,� said 29-year-old Christina Malaki. “What a spectacle.�

In fashion terms it was strong, with most of the 64 retro looks delivered in Mary Quant-style checks that made a bold optical statement in black and white, as well as browns, gray and leaf green.

Slightly puffed rounded shoulders, miniskirts, beehives and a few exposed midriffs pointed to one thing: The swinging 60s are back.

The silhouettes – often flat and loose – prioritized the Damier above the female form, which rippled nicely in skirts as the models, who walked in pairs, filed by with handbags.

Louis Vuitton is a house that is proud of its tradition, but also likes to evolve. The collection saw the ubiquitous monogram banished for the first time.

Instead, one recurrent feature was, so say the program notes, “the smallest sequins ever produced.�

Thousands of microscopic sequins brought a dazzling metallic shimmer to dresses and skirt suits, though when it was used on the blocked Damier pattern it was slightly too much. “It’s all about being graphic. (Buren’s escalators) are a mathematical equation,� Jacobs told journalists after the show.

Another math equation will come from the buoyant receipts from this, a highly saleable collection.

It’s a fair bet that by next year this bold check will be everywhere.

MIU MIU Miu Miu’s spring-sum-

Models wear creations by designer Elie Saab as part of his ready to wear Spring-Summer 2013 collection in Paris, Wednesday. mer 2013 show in Paris had a wintery vibe.

Despite the slightly offkilter season it was a slick display, with lashings of faux fur on coats and stoles with dyed patterning at the brand often seen as Miuccia Prada’s baby sister offshoot.

It picked up nicely on this season’s fascination with prints as contrasting explosions on loose skirt suits – sometimes resembling the negative of a photograph.

As ever, it remained demure, but interesting back features graced a few reversed boxy tops. Alongside looks in denim and the prints, it gave the clothes a distinctly cool edge which reached its peak in a few eclectic, asymmetrical pieces.

Only a master like Prada can make a tiny strapped cropped camisole work underneath a thick fur coat, accessorized with leather gloves and jeweled Roman sandals.

But never fear, his bread-and-butter traffic stopping dresses and sequins were still there – in cerulean blue and vermil-

OPINION Get ready for midterms

Thursday October 4, 2012

Every semester it’s the same thing: you’re sitting in a lecture Monday morning when your instructor brings your world crashing down around you.

“Your exam will be this Friday. Bring a scantron and try not to hyperventilate.”

Wait, what?

Between marvelling how nearly two months have passed since the semester started and wondering how many questions will come from the textbook, midterms can seem overwhelming.

They’re also an important milestone in conquering any course, so there are a few things to keep in

mind when approaching the midterm crunch.

1. Get enough sleep Teachers, doctors and infomercials have been preaching the power of eight hours of sleep per night for so long your eyes have probably started to droop. Your college newspaper isn’t about deviate from that norm – sorry.

There have been numerous studies that link insufficient sleep to poor academic performance, and other studies have conversely found a positive correlation between the number of hours a student sleeps every night and their GPA. Sleep also promotes

overall health and has been proven in some instances to improve memory. Understanding sleep can also help increase its positive effects. Websites like www.sleepyti.me allow users to input the time they need to wake up to calculate what time they should get to sleep to complete the recommended number of sleep cycles.

2.

P ra c t i c e time management You’re probably thinking, “but sleep is for the weak.” If you skipped over the last suggestion in favor of buying a case of Red Bull or asking the barista at Starbucks how many shots of espresso will fit in a venti

latte, you’re probably planning something drastic.

That isn’t to say all-nighters are always a bad thing – sometimes there’s just no other way – but there are better ways of managing your time and avoiding misery.

Taking the time to determine when your exams will occur and deciding how much time to devote to studying for each can help midterms seem more manageable. Remember to build breaks into your studying – emotional stability can improve performance, too.

3. Relax and de-stress Studies have shown that approaching studying and

test-taking with the same mindset can drastically improve recall. That’s why exam nerves are so scary – when a person says they often “blank” during tests, they’re probably experiencing test anxiety.

WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health offers programs such as chillWELL to educate students on the importance of managing stress to improve academic performance.

OMAR GHABRA opinion editor

Wednesday night, President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney faced off in Denver, Colo. for the first of three planned presidential debates.

With Romney trailing in the polls in a number of key swing states, this debate was widely viewed as his opportunity to get back in the race.

After watching the candidates go at each other for 90 minutes, my first impression is that Romney unquestionably came out as the winner, at least from a purely stylistic standpoint. President Obama, who was uncharacteristically rusty, seemed to be trying to take a page out of Bill Clinton’s vaunted political playbook by focusing on explaining policy specifics. “ I agree with neither. Why? They’re both big-money, old-Washington. All that changes is the name on the front door. ” -@jaymzr74

DA

Unfortunately for Obama, this approach is much more effective during a 40-minute speech at the DNC than it is during a debate.

Romney was much sharper and was, surprisingly, significantly more aggressive, repeatedly attacking Obama on the deficit and his health care overhaul. But even though the consensus is that Romney won the first debate, whether or not this performance will help him gain some ground in the polls remains to be seen. It’s important to note that presidential debates don’t typically make a significant impact on the outcome of elections, barring a Nixon-esque mid-debate meltdown.

Moving away from the debate’s relevance to the “horserace,” something about it that really struck me was both candidates’ deafening silence on one particular issue, which seems to have been moved to the backburner of our polit-

ical discourse despite its increasing urgency. After 90 minutes of the only one of the three presidential debates that solely focused on domestic policy, there wasn’t a single mention of climate change.

The silence on this monumental issue speaks volumes about the perilous position we are in when it comes to confronting it. It truly is amazing that we’ve reached a point where not only has our paralyzed political process failed to take action on this colossal crisis, but our politicians won’t even talk about it.

One obvious explanation for Obama and Romney’s seeming lack of interest when it comes to the warming of our planet is the fact that the public isn’t very worried about it.

According to a recent Gallup poll, nearly half of Americans don’t believe that human activities are contributing to global warming and that the media is exaggerating

“Neither candidate will dare impact retirees or soon-tobe retirees, but the classes of 2013-2016 better watch out.”

-@JJSLounge

“The President talks about balancing the budget, but has had over a trillion+ in deficits.

Each FY in office” -@WarMed_117

the seriousness of the threat posed by it.

What’s even more troubling than these numbers themselves is the fact they have steadily increased throughout the past decade, even though the evidence for anthropogenic global warming has only accumulated during this time. This trend is undoubtedly linked to a deliberate misinformation campaign perpetrated by those who have an interest in maintaining the status quo when it comes to the burning of fossil fuels.

Incredibly, climate change denial has been adopted by many prominent Republicans, including vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.

As with most issues, it is hard to discern what Mitt Romney actually feels about this issue, as his expressed views on it have oscillated depending on which office he was running for at the time. Either way, we can all safely assume there

won’t be anything done about it if he is elected.

What’s most disheartening about all of this is that we should have moved beyond debating the science underlying this issue long ago. The mechanism of the greenhouse effect has been established for more than a 100 years. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. In other words, it traps heat. Thus, it follows that the more of it we spew into our atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped, and the more our planet will subsequently be warmed.

This is exactly what has happened as the burning of fossil fuels has caused the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration to increase by more than 30 percent since the industrial revolution.

According to a recent study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 97 percent of climate scientists who publish on the topic of climate change agree that human activities are contributing to global warming.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year others can count on you for feedback, as you tend to be quite verbose. Your ability to detach from yourself and your life will prove to be essential to your year and overall happiness. Distant elements, educational opportunities, travel and issues involving the law might not move as fast as you’d like, but you will arrive where you want to be in due time. If you are single, you could meet several people. The person who is quite different will be the right one for you. If attached, a trip will invigorate your relationship.

Keeping communication open will be a snap. GEMINI always has a different perspective.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Remedy any confusion, at least on your side. With your busy pace, you might regret nixing an event or an offer to take a break.

Be aware that in the next several months, you might very well have a similar opportunity again; just don’t let it slip by. Tonight: Express what you have been holding back.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Note an emerging possessive streak.

What is going on with you? You might need to take a timeout for a personal assessment and for working on your self-image. Consider making a muchneeded change that you have in mind. It will only serve to benefit you.

Tonight: Take care of errands first.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You are comfortable with having a plethora of options. You might regret a recent decision you have made, but you will have an opportunity to remedy that remorse soon enough. Hang

in there. A boss or higher-up acts in the most unexpected manner. Tonight: Out and about.

or invitation will reappear. This time, be sure to make a fast decision. Tonight: Try out a suggestion.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH You have several days before you have to make a decision. Think carefully about what you will choose.

Make appointments to see your doctor and dentist -- not that you will have a problem, but it could prevent a problem from happening. Surprises lie ahead. Tonight: Get some R and R while you can.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You might be overwhelmed by requests. In some cases, you will need to say “no.” Some of the key people in your life could be more unstable than usual. Give them space if a difficult conversation occurs. Tonight: Consider starting the weekend early.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You could regroup and become upbeat about a difficult situation. Use this skill more often to avoid being upset or for trying to understand a different perspective. You might be hoping for some positive news. It could be delayed, but it will happen. Tonight: Find fun with a friend.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Be willing to take a stand, no matter what is occurring. Key people might act erratically. Someone dotes on you adoringly; let this person know what you want. You feel upbeat, despite your many responsibilities. Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Reach out for someone at a distance. A cohort could be distorting a situation more than you realize. You will gain more information and insight about this person if you speak to him or her about opening up lines of communication. Tonight: Times are changing.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You have a lot to say and do. A close associate steps in, as he or she needs attention and wants to express some creativity. Be careful -- the unexpected could occur with this person. An offer

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Focus on errands and your own wellbeing. If you are working, you might experience a need to be very attentive. Take nothing for granted today -- not your pet, health, favorite plant or group of friends. Make sure to give enough attention to each of these. Tonight: Put your feet up. Relax.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Your creativity and ingenuity could take an interesting turn. You might wonder exactly what works and what will remain experimental, until you find the answers. Remember that with you, everything changes quickly.

A child or loved one needs to open up, yet he or she might pull back at the slightest lack of interest. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Anchor in and enjoy yourself. You could have a lot of questions about a real-estate matter and/or a domestic issue. You cannot push right now in these areas, but you can remain open to conversations when others are ready. You might feel differently in a few days. Tonight: Order in.

‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ NBC Universal

‘Married ... With Children’ NBC Universal

««««

«««««

Nick Wesdock a&e writer

Most rappers in the ‘90s were engaged in a war of words. Meanwhile, Will Smith was rapping about his cab ride from Philadelphia to California.

“I looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air,” was the famous line that began every episode of the hit sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” It all started when Will “got in one little fight” and was sent to live with his Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian in the classy Los Angeles neighborhood.

The show centers around the culture shock Smith experiences fromn west Philadelphia to the upscale, wealthy lifestyle of his relatives, the Banks.

Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian attempt to mold Smith into a proper gentleman, but along the way, he teaches them a few lessons as well.

Carlton is the Banks’ oldest son and the perfect child. When Smith comes along he teaches Carlton a lot about life. They had plenty of adventures and caused even more mischief during the show’s six seasons.

But let’s not forget, if there was ever any mischief, Hillary, the Banks’ oldest daughter, was usually behind it. Hillary served as the ditsy rich girl who relied on her looks to get by. This made her an easy target for Smith and his jokes.

And how could we forget about everyone’s favorite butler, Geoffrey? His dry, sarcastic humor truly brought a new element to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” Smith was nominated for Golden Globe awards in 1993 and 1994 for his performance in the show.

One thing people might not know about the sitcom is NBC approached Smith in 1990 when he was about to file for bankruptcy because he owed the IRS $2.8 million in penalties.

Now, the “Fresh Prince” theme song is, arguably, Smith’s most famous and recognizable accomplishment.

If I’m being honest, there were a ton of great sitcoms on air throughout the 90s – “Saved by the Bell,” “Friends” and “Home Improvement” to name a few – but “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” was right up there.

It truly is one of a kind, and that’s why reruns of the show will play for years to come. da&e@mail.wvu.edu

Noelle harris A&e writer

The ‘90s was a decade of wonder and excitement, filled with discoveries to make and lessons to learn.

It established Surge was truly the best drink ever invented, that watching “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” at night was a bad idea, and love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage.

The last lesson – of course – comes from the show “Married ... With Children.”

“Married... With Children” premiered in 1987 and aired until 1997. Filled with a cast of misfits, it represented how no one wanted to turn out.

The Bundy family was the typical poor American family. There was Al, the misanthropic women’s shoe salesman, and his lazy housewife Peggy.

They had two kids: Kelly, the stereotypical promiscuous dumb blonde, and Bud, the awkward younger brother, who was infamously incapable of interacting with girls.

Marcy, their next-door neighbor, was Peggy’s best friend and Al’s worst enemy.

The show followed Al’s shenanigans, including his job at Gary’s Shoes and Accessories for Today’s Woman, his storytelling of

the glory days when he was the star football player, and his role in NO MA’AM, the “National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood.”

Throughout his daily life, viewers realize that no matter how bad things are, they should always be glad their lives are not as bad as Al Bundy’s.

“Married... With Children” has been voted as one of Time Magazine’s “All-Time 100 TV Shows,” and for good reason. With lines like, “Women ... can’t live with’em... the end,” its humor should make it one of the best shows of all-time.

Humor was always quantified in the bad moments in Al’s everyday life. The Bundy’s suffered a life filled with turmoil, and this was often the brunt of jokes. This curse is referenced many times during the series.

“It’s what keeps us from being happy.

There’s no point in fighting. It’s what separates us from the ordinary losers. They can have their moments, but not us,” Al said in one episode about the curse.

No matter how bad their lives were, they learned that it could always get worse; that was perhaps the funniest part of the series.

For 11 seasons, “Married... With Children” provided America with a taste of humor through the dysfunctional lives of Al, Peggy, Kelly and Bud Bundy. We saw just how good our own lives were, and how not to act. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Quarterback controversy No. 3 West Virginia opens brewing at Oklahoma State season against No. 5 Army by greg madia

by michael carvelli

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy has a good problem on his hands with two quarterbacks who are more than capable of running the Cowboys’ highpowered offense.

The injury true freshman quarterback Wes Lunt suffered three weeks ago when Oklahoma State fell to Arizona may have lost him his job. Lunt threw for 558 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions in the two games he saw action.

But J.W. Walsh, another freshman who stepped in for Lunt, has performed well in his absence. Walsh has completed nearly 70 percent of his passes and has thrown for 797 yards and eight touchdowns with just two interceptions.

“J.W. (Walsh) has played very well. The way they’ve played is very encouraging for Oklahoma State football,” Gundy said. “Wes (Lunt) continues to get better; we expect him to practice by the end of the week.

From that point on our coaches have to come up with the best scheme and find us the best way to have success and score points.”

A sixth-place finish in the NCAA championships last season left a sour taste in the mouths of members of the No. 3 West Virginia rifle team during the offseason.

The Mountaineers, who have won 14 national championships in school history, haven’t won a title since 2009, but their mission to win again starts this weekend when they travel to take on No. 5 Army.

“We definitely would have liked to have done better (at the NCAA championships). But you just use it as motivation,” said WVU head coach Jon Hammond.

“Now we have no one on this team who has won a championship before, so that’s a nice tool to have to use as well. We’re starting fresh and starting over from the beginning.”

The Black Knights finished fourth in the nation last season with returning junior Michael Matthews, who finished just one point short of winning a national championship in smallbore this year.

West Virginia hasn’t lost to Army since 2008, but Hammond knows this will be a difficult test for his team’s first match of the season.

“They’re just a strong team,” Hammond said.

“They have a lot of highquality shooters, and they always have a lot of depth.

And for the most part, you’re dealing with a lot of incredibly disciplined, hard-working people.

“There’s always a challenge that comes with going away to shoot. It’s always a great experience, but none of the guys we have now have ever been there to shoot, so it’ll be a new environment.”

Leading the way for the Mountaineers this season will be senior Petra Zublasing. Zublasing is coming off a national championship in air rifle last season

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy talks to the media at Big 12 Media Day in July. first downs. Tuberville attributes his defensive success, by changes in his recruiting philosophy.

“In the Big 12, you have to have as much speed as you possibly can. It’s totally different from the SEC. You’d have bigger linebackers and guys that can stop the run, so it’s working good for us,” Tuberville said. “We’ve made it a priority the last two years in recruiting to bring in height and speed on defense – guys that can run, guys that can rush the passer with speed and get their hands up in the passing lane.

“It’s an ongoing process to try and get this defense where it needs to be to play the Oklahoma States and West Virginias who throw the ball on almost every down.”

Tuberville, Texas Tech defense thriving For all the talented offenses in the Big 12 Conference, the Texas Tech defense is flourishing early in the season under head coach Tommy Tuberville.

The Red Raiders are first in the nation in total defense, yielding only 167.5 yards per game. Texas Tech also forces opponents to punt more than every other team in America, as they are also first in the FBS in alKansas wants to make lowing the least amount of Kansas State game most

Silva, who leads the Mountaineers with eight goals, may not have wanted to go to school close to home, but she certainly doesn’t mind going back to visit.

“I had no idea that we would ever go back to play (Kansas),” Silva said. “I personally like it because I get to go home and play in front of the home crowd.”

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown, who recruited Silva out of Big 12 country, is excited to see her offensive star make a trip home. At some point during a Mountaineers’ career at West Virginia, Izzo-

important With the Border War between Kansas and Missouri no longer in play for the Jayhawks, head coach Charlie Weis is looking for the Sunflower Showdown against Kansas State to become the Jayhawks’ marquee rivalry game.

“The last three years, they’ve put a pretty good whooping on us, and I think now that Missouri is no longer a competitor, Kansas has to focus on having that same fire and intensity on the instate rival like Kansas State does,” Weis said.

The Jayhawks lead the Kansas State Wildcats 6539-5 in the all-time series between the two schools.

eers, amassing double-digit digs and hustling to the ball ferociously, despite an injury to her back that forced her to begin the match with a compression wrap around her torso.

“It hurts to walk right now,” Panagiotakopoulos said. “I was hurting all match and just every move I made, but that’s

how it is. You suck it up, and you play. No complaining.”

The Mountaineers look to stop their slide against Duquesne at home Oct. 6 as they take to the Coliseum again before heading back on the road for their second Big 12 Conference road trip.

Brown tries to schedule a match close to home for team members who are not from the region. Lucky for IzzoBrown and Silva, the Kansas game just fell in their lap.

“What a great surprise for that kid,” Izzo-Brown said.

“For her to be able to go home, play and compete in her home state is going to be exciting for her.

“I try, with scheduling, to mix things up so families can see their kids – especially when they’re far from home.

It’s great that we are able to get home for Frances.”

Silva hails from Big 12 country, and Izzo-Brown signed her before the move to the Big 12, but it allowed IzzoBrown and the Mountaineers to open a new recruiting pipe-

line. With the conference so focused around states such as Texas and Oklahoma, the move to the Big 12 enables Izzo-Brown access to those powerhouse soccer states. “(The conference move) has definitely opened things up for us,” Izzo-Brown said. “I think now you can tell a kid from Texas, ‘Hey look, we are going to be playing in Texas.’

“We’ve definitely expanded ourselves a bit, (and) we’re seeing more interest in Texas kids, so it should be exciting.”

If the players WVU recruits from Big 12 country are anything like Silva, then the state of the West Virginia women’s soccer team is in good hands.

Matt Sunday/The Daily Athenaeum

Senior shooter Petra Zublasing and WVU open the season Sunday. and an appearance in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Hammond said that having a shooter with the experience Zublasing has is crucial for a team that features seven underclassman shooters.

“Not every rifle athlete, or any athlete in general, gets to train with someone who just went to the Olympics,” Hammond said. “She’s obviously learned a huge amount from the Games and almost has a whole new perspective on the sport. She has a really good approach this year and she knows the things that she wants to achieve.”

The Mountaineers also have a good duo of sophomores in Taylor Ciotola and Thomas Kyanko.

Kyanko, a Wellsburg, W.Va., native, was named a second-team all-American, and Ciotola was an honorable mention selection as a redshirt freshman.

“Those two – I feel like they’re coming back as experienced campaigners, even though they’re both only sophomores,” Ham-

mond said. “You don’t often have the chance to redshirt people in rifle, and we were lucky enough to have such a strong, senior-laden team a couple of years ago, so we were able to do it with those two.

“It’s nice to have them as a solid foundation for your team that you’re going to have around for the next three years.”

With such a young team, Hammond is looking forward to seeing his Mountaineers take a step in the right direction to get to midseason form.

“Our focus for these matches this semester is to lay the foundation to where they can make some changes to the things they’re doing,” he said.

“The challenge is just getting the balance right of using these matches for experience and try things without being too experimental and always being ready to shoot a good match and get good value from it.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Notre Dame’s Te’o stays strong through tragedy

AP

Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o pursues the football during the first half of the Irish’s game against Michigan.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The profile page on the Twitter account of Manti Te’o doesn’t say he’s a Notre Dame linebacker, that he’s being mentioned as a Heisman Trophy candidate or that he’s a Sports Illustrated cover boy.

Instead, it features a quote from “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas: “Life is a storm. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.”

Te’o has been through a storm.

His maternal grandmother, Annette Santiago, died in Hawaii after a long illness on Sept. 11 and his girl-

friend, Lennay Kekua, died in California of leukemia several hours later. Te’o didn’t miss a practice that week, choosing to be with his teammates as the Irish prepared for their game at then-No. 10 Michigan State, even though coach Brian Kelly told him he didn’t need to be there.

Te’o calls it the hardest thing he’s ever had to do.

“To be able to operate, and to be able to try to continue with my daily routine, but knowing that I just lost a woman that I truly loved, that was the hardest thing,” he said.

The task was made even harder knowing he couldn’t attend her funeral in Carson City, Calif.. He said Lennay had made him promise

he wouldn’t miss a game, instead asking him to honor her with his play.

Te’o did that. He had 12 tackles, one for a loss, and broke up two passes in the win against Michigan State.

A week later, he had two interceptions, leading to a touchdown and a field goal, in a 13-6 win over Michigan in which he had eight tackles. The Irish defense didn’t give up a touchdown in the two games.

The performances caught the attention of his teammates, his classmates and college football fans across the country.

“At that time he may have been a little weak inside, but he never showed it out,” defensive end Stephon Tu-

itt said. “He stayed strong.

Watching him kept us going strong.”

Te’o has been the driving force behind the best Notre Dame defense in at least a decade, leading the Irish to their 4-0 start and their No. 9 ranking. He has played a role in seven of the 13 turnovers forced by the Irish, intercepting three passes, recovering two fumbles and hurrying the quarterback twice on passes that were intercepted.

Defensive coordinator Bob Diaco believes the 6-foot-2, 255-pound Te’o is the finest football player in college, saying he can power his way through blocks, but moves like a much smaller player.

“He’s a unique blend of being able to be kind and good

and courteous and warm and friendly when he’s not inside the gates or inside the stripes, and then when he’s in there he’s an absolute warrior,” Diaco said.

Te’o’s father, Brian, believes part of that is it’s a Polynesian trait, citing Junior Seau and Troy Polamalu as examples. He also believes it’s partially related to Te’o’s Mormon upbringing.

“He understands that his actions have a direct impact on those who are watching him, and also the fact that his actions and decision-making does have a direct reflection on the family, on both my wife and I,” he said. “We both remind him constantly.”

His father said Te’o also works hard at his craft be-

cause he knows another talented athlete is working just as hard.

“He knows when he meets that person he’s going to have to be at the top of his game in order to compete with him,” he said.

Te’o has 362 career tackles and is on pace to finish third on Notre Dame’s all-time list behind Bob Crable (1978-81), who had 521, and Bob Golic (1975-78), who finished with 479.

Crable calls Te’o one of the best players he’s seen at Notre Dame.

“He has great speed. He knows where the football is,” he said. “Unfortunately for him, as far as the tackling record goes, the game has changed so much. I don’t know how anyone can get the tackles some of us old guys got just because they don’t run the ball as much.”

Kelly said what separates Te’o from other stars is he knows the names of every player on the team, even the walkons.

“He doesn’t call them, ‘Hey, 42, or 57.’ He knows each of those guys. ... That’s pretty unique,” he said.

Student body President Brett Rocheleau said classmates love Te’o because he’s one of them. He takes part in campus events, he’s seen walking around carrying his backpack and talking with other students.

“Every story you hear about Manti is that he is genuinely nice guy. He’s one that is easy to talk to. He goes out of his way to carry on conversations,” he said.

The students showed their love for Te’o by chanting his name and wearing leis at the Michigan game and pep rally.

Te’o jumped up in the crowd to celebrate the victory with them.

“I felt a sense of peace knowing that so many people cared about Manti instead of No. 5,” he said.

He was able to get home for his grandmother’s funeral during the bye week and said he feels rejuvenated as the Irish prepare to play Miami (4-1) Saturday in Chicago.

“I’ve never felt so strong; spiritually strong,” he said.

“I could never thank the student body and the fans around the world for their all love and all their prayers and support. I truly felt all of that, and it’s helped me to get past, help me get through these past three weeks and I’m truly grateful and I’m truly humbled.”

• Most fans will seek entertainment, food and lodging during their stay in Morgantown – spending an estimated $75.00 per person or $4 million plus per home game.

‘This was a tough one’

Arron Diedrich/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Senior defender Eric Schoenle and the No. 18 West Virginia men’s soccer team allowed two goals in the final three minutes and fell to Elon at home 3-2.

No. 18 West Virginia struggled to put away Phoenix in heartbreaking 3-2 defeat Tuesday night by amit batra sports writer

The No. 18 West Virginia men’s soccer team was devastated after its loss to Elon Tuesday night.

Up 2-1 late in the second half, everything started to go downhill for the Mountaineers, and the Phoenix were able to walk out of Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium as the first visiting team to beat WVU at home.

It was West Virginia’s first loss in exactly one month,

as it dropped to 4-0-2 since suffering a 1-0 loss to No. 15 Wake Forest.

As such an experienced team, some of the players were surprised how the game ended. They knew against talented teams like Elon, they should never take their foot off the gas pedal because they have the lead.

“We should be able to know what to do during times like that,” said senior defender Eric Schoenle.

“We should kill the game.

It’s really disappointing for us as a team. This was a tough one; this was a big game for us. This one will hurt for a while.”

Elon capitalized on its chances at the end of the game, especially forward Chris Thomas. The nation’s leading scorer netted a number of goals and almost bagged another late in the game.

But the Mountaineers had their fair share of chances as well, outshooting the Phoenix 27-10 on

the night. The way Elon continued pushing down the stretch turned out to be the main difference Tuesday night.

“We need to figure a team out that will follow the game plan,” said West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “I need to put together a better game plan; I need to coach my team better.

“At the end of the day, I told them it’s my fault, and I didn’t have them prepared for the game. We need to find a way to get them bet-

West Virgnia falls to No. 24 Kansas by austin seidel sports writer

The Mountaineer volleyball team entered the Coliseum Wednesday to host No. 24 Kansas just two days after returning from a five-day road trip.

For West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer, the chief concern for the days prior to the matchup against Kansas was to keep her team active and prepared for the match with a shortened practice week.

The Mountaineers responded well to Kramer’s preparation as the team took full advantage of its home court and stunned the Jayhawks in the opening set 25-15.

But West Virginia wouldn’t be able to keep that momentum, losing the next three sets to fall 3-1 to the Jayhawks.

“It’s really important for us to make a good first impression on teams as they come to visit us,” Kramer said. “And I think we did that tonight; I think we left a good first impression. I’m proud of this team.”

The Mountaineers hit .241 as a team and helped put on defensive pressure to force Kansas into a meager 0 percent hitting from the field in the opening set.

However, the success of the opening set would be short-lived, as Kansas’ Catherine Jurmoc and the Kansas hitters helped the Jayhawks

come alive in the second set with eight kills to tie the game at one set apiece prior to the third set.

“In the second set, one of the things I think (Kansas) did well was how they transitioned,” Kramer said. “They did a great job of getting back to defense and just moving on both sides of the ball, and in that second set, they kind of put us back on our heels.”

The Jayhawk offense would take a turn in the second set and go up 4-2 and not look back as they took the lead in each of the following three sets, allowing only a brief 3-0 lead for the Mountaineers in the second set. The Mountaineers’ successes defensively were overshadowed by Kansas’ offen-

sive strength and struggle to execute at the net for their own offense.

For West Virginia, offense became a problem as the team hit just .066 after opening the match with a .241 hit percentage. The team was led offensively by Nikki Attea once again, as Attea recorded 14 kills on 32 attempts and was stern defensively while junior Liz Gulick and freshman libero Anna Panagiotakopoulos each had 14 digs to contribute to West Virginia’s 52 digs overall.

“I fully attribute our struggles digging the ball to our lack of ability to get blocks up,” Kramer said. “When you can’t get that first touch

ter-prepared for Sunday afternoon.”

With just one nonconference game remaining on the schedule, WVU knows it needs as many positive results as possible in order to make its NCAA tournament resume look better.

“This was a big game for us. It was a top 20 RPI game for us, which would have been good for us come tournament time,” Schoenle said. “We’ve got to win all of our games from here on

out.”

West Virginia will need to have a quick turnaround as Buffalo comes to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m.

It will be the Mountaineers’ third Mid-American Conference game for the Mountaineers.

WVU will have to find ways to finish games quickly as the next five matches are against conference opponents. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Kansas road trip a homecoming for WVU’s Silva Robert Kreis Sports Writer

While most of the West Virginia student body was celebrating homecoming last weekend when the football team beat Baylor in spectacular fashion, women’s soccer junior forward Frances Silva will be celebrating her own homecoming this weekend.

“I am pretty excited about it – going back home and playing in front of my family,” said Silva in preparation for the Mountaineers game at Kansas. “I will be stealing (everybody’s) player-pass tickets so that I can fill the stands

with my family and friends.”

Silva is from Overland Park, Kan., home of the Jayhawks, and host of West Virginia’s next Big 12 road test.

Silva played soccer at Blue Valley North High, where she led her team to a 2007 state championship and started all four years. Even though she was a three-time member of the Kansas all-state team, she never gave the Jayhawks much of a thought.

“Honestly, I was very open during my recruiting process,” Silva said in a Mountaineer Sports Network feature. “I didn’t want to stay close to home, so I didn’t look at any of the Big 12 schools,
