WVU aims to stop sale of illegal apparel by lydia nuzum

associate city editor

West Virginia University has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in U.S. District Court against MivaMan, LLC/Fastees.com, a local clothing producer marketing unofficial University merchandise, to prevent the sale and production of infringing merchandise.

A district court hearing

has been scheduled for Friday in Wheeling. The University has requested a preliminary injunction to prevent MivaMan, LLC from “manufacturing, distributing, marketing, advertising, promoting, displaying or offering for sale any products which infringe or dilute WVU BOG’s registered and common-law trademarks.”

Becky Lofstead, assistant vice president for University Communications, said the

University must protect its trademarks to preserve the image of the University.

“It is WVU’s responsibility to protect the reputation, integrity, image and goodwill of the University through the proper use of our federally registered marks,” Lofstead said. “We also have a responsibility to our alumni, friends, donors, students, parents and fans – all those who hold this University in such high regard.”

WVU has more than a dozen registered and common law trademarks, Loftstead said, including the Flying WV logo, the words West Virginia University, the phrase “Let’s Go Mountaineers” and the words West Virginia used in reference to WVU. According to court documents forwarded by the plaintiff, MivaMan, LLC has manufactured and sold items that infringe and dilute Uni-

versity trademarks. Products sold by the company include merchandise printed with profane slogans, including “West F-----n Virginia,” “Let’s Go! Drink Some Beers” and “Eat S--- Pitt.”

“This is not simply a case of whether or not someone can use the name of the state,” Loftstead said.

“When used in reference to WVU in the way it is being done, this business owner is clearly attempting to affiliate

his products with West Virginia University to trade off our goodwill and strong reputation for his profit.”

Steve Staffileno, executive director of the Mountaineer Maniacs, said the University’s image, enrollment and degree values are affected by the shirts.

“To have a positive image and have other people across the country possess a

Order of Augusta WILD, WONDERFUL WOODLANDS recognizes student achievement by carlee lammers staff writer

West Virginia University is recognizing the best of the best of the 2012 senior class.

Each year, the Outstanding Senior Award recognizes approximately 40 to 50 soonto-be graduates.

The eight students chosen will be awarded the Order of Augusta – the University’s highest student honor.

To qualify for the awards, students must be preparing to graduate this May or August and must hold a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.8.

Students must submit their resume, transcript and a completed application.

“The students are being selected on behalf of the University – that in itself is a huge ordeal,” said Associate Vice President for International Student Affairs and Global Services David Stewart. “It’s like the University is saying to them ‘You are among the top’.”

The selection committee, which is comprised of five WVU faculty members, reviews each application and judges internship or work experience, engagement in community service and leadership roles held on campus.

New course teaches history of Salem witch trials by mike atkinson staff writer

West Virginia University honor students have the opportunity to learn about U.S. history in a new way, thanks to a course that chronicles the Salem witch trials.

Honors 412 will assign students to research one individual who was accused of witchery during the historic period throughout the semester, said Professor Kevin Gooding.

Gooding said though most have heard about the infamous Salem witch trials, many don’t know the difference between the facts and popular cultural interpretations.

“The trials have occupied part of our national iden-

tity. There aren’t many people who haven’t heard of the trials at some point, either in middle school or high school,” he said.

“It was a very violent, nasty period, and more than 20 people were executed as a result of this.”

Gooding, who earned his Ph.D. in American history at Purdue and is a Methodist pastor, said he wanted to teach a course on the gloomy subject for years.

“Here’s an event that we’re still not really sure why it happened,” Gooding said.

“There’s no consensus on what really happened, yet it captured a corner of our national identity. It’s still an open discussion and crops up

The WVU Division of Forestry & Natural Resources has developed a program to help forest owners on proper harvest and management of timber property.

New Division of Forestry & Natural Resources program advises state landowners by lydia nuzum

associate city editor

The West Virginia University Division of Forestry & Natural Resources has developed an outreach program to advise forest owners in the state on proper harvest and management of timber property.

The Woodland Welcome Wagon program, funded by the West Virginia Division of Forestry, is an initiative geared toward distributing information on forestry resources and concerns to landowners across the state, as well as a “Meet Your Forester” workshop series held in six counties in West Virginia.

Dave McGill, Division of Forestry & Natural Resources professor and forest resources management specialist with WVU Extension, said the programs offered through the Woodland Welcome Wagon are designed to help land owners

make informed decisions when managing their woodlands.

“It’s a challenge, because there are so many private woodland owners in West Virginia, to connect with them and make sure that if they’re interested in working with their woods in a particular way that they have the necessary information and know who to go to for information,” McGill said.

Landowners can request packets sponsored through the program that include information on the West Virginia Forest Stewardship Program, a state program that offers technical and financial assistance to private landowners interested in the West Virginia Forestry Association and in managing their forestland for multiple-use benefits.

These benefits include wood products, wildlife, recreation and aesthetics.

The packets also include a managed timberland fact sheet developed by

the WVU Extension Service, a guide to choosing a forester and materials from the West Virginia Woodland Owners Association and West Virginia Woodland Stewards Web page.

“We have a reported 250,000 landowners here in West Virginia and because these private lands make up such a huge portion of our total forest land,” McGill said. “That collective population actually has a huge impact on our environmental quality and the consistency with which the timber industry is able to access this resource.”

Megan McCuen, forestry and natural resources graduate student and program leader, said the program centers on outreach to keep landowners informed and able to contact foresters and other professionals invested in woodland management.

Yale professor discusses book on Holocaust by bryan bumgardner staff writer

Timothy D. Snyder, Housum Professor of History at Yale University, lectured about his newest book “Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin” at West Virginia University Thursday.

“Bloodlands” is a history of the Holocaust during World War II, which involved the mass genocide of approximately six million Jews.

“Roughly half of all the casualties of the war, including the Pacific theatre, were in Eastern Europe,” he said.

Snyder said 14 million people were deliberately murdered

by Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin in Eastern Europe, and he be-

lieves his book will help historians understand the full scope of the Holocaust.

“If what I have said is true, that such a horrible amount of death happened in one spot, why hasn’t it been noted as such? I think this says a lot about history and how we practice it,” he said.

Snyder said his technique strays from national histories of Nazi Germany and socialist Russia and focuses on the history of the territory, using the perspective of the victims in his book.

“Each national narrative has a way of deciding who were the heroes, the perpetrators and the victims. However, national histories are bad at answering questions like why these things happen,” he said.

Although the Holocaust was a

tragic event, Snyder said revisiting Holocaust history helps people understand why it occurred.

“It’s very easy to care so much about something that you take it out of history and put it behind glass,” he said. “However, when you take something out of history it becomes impossible to explain. When it’s impossible to explain, it’s impossible to understand. My question is how 14 million people were killed. This book takes colloquial answers and tries to get history right.”

Snyder said his focus as a historian has always been on the individual. His objective is to humanize the statistics.

“These systems of history turn people into numbers. I try to make sure that these are not just numbers – they are people,

different from the person before and after. What we have to do is turn these numbers into people,” he said.

Snyder is the author of several books on Eastern European history and is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books. Snyder said the importance of historical evaluation is in its ability to create debate.

“History is a conversation.

It works because we communicate, and the conversation is about individuals,” he said.

The lecture was presented by the WVU Department of History, The Slavic and Eastern European Studies Program and the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences.

Women at war: Pentagon is easing its job limits WASHINGTON (AP) — New orders from the Pentagon: The military on Thursday formally opened thousands of jobs to women in units that are closer to the front lines than ever before, reflecting what’s already been going on as female American soldiers fight and die next to their male comrades.

The new rules, affecting thousands of jobs, will break down more of the official barriers that have restricted the military positions women can take.

They’re being sent to Congress, and if lawmakers take no action after 30 work days the policy will take effect.

The changes still aren’t coming fast enough for some in Congress or the military. They noted that the rules still ban women from serving as infantry, armor and special operations forces, which are considered the most dangerous combat jobs.

Instead, they reflect what’s been happening for the past 10 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. They will allow women to perform many of the jobs they are already doing – but in smaller units, closer to the fighting and once considered too dangerous.

“Unfortunately, the conclusions of this report do not go far enough,” said Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a member of the House Armed Services Committee who started a caucus on women in the military. Sanchez said she was “very disappointed” that the Defense Department didn’t lift the ban on combat jobs for women.

Because service in combat gives troops an advantage for promotions and job opportunities, it has been more difficult for women to move to the

A 1994 Pentagon policy bans women from being assigned to ground combat units below the brigade level. A brigade is roughly 3,500 troops split into several battalions of about 800 soldiers each. Historically, brigades were based farther from the front lines and they often include top command and support staff, while battalions – now open to women – are usually in closer contact with the enemy.

In the past decade, the necessities of war propelled women into jobs such as medics, military police and intelligence officers, and they were sometimes attached — but not fortant to give the school the best name it can possibly have.”

The Maniacs introduced the T-shirt Amnesty program in the fall, and students could exchange vulgar T-shirts for a $20 voucher to buy an officially licensed Tshirt at the WVU Bookstore,

mally assigned – to battalions.

So while a woman couldn’t be assigned as an infantryman in a battalion going out on patrol, she could fly the helicopter supporting the unit, or move in to provide medical aid if troops were injured.

The new rules will formally allow women to work in those jobs at the battalion level. And they will also open up a number of Army jobs that had been closed to women, such as tank and artillery mechanics or rocket launcher crew members.

While the rules won’t open up the Navy SEALs or the Army Delta Force to women, some defense officials have said the military may eventually be Book Exchange or WVU’s Team Shop in the Coliseum.

“The case right now is conference realignment, and a positive perception will be extremely important during that process,” Staffileno said. lydia.nuzum@mail.wvu.edu

open to that. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates told North Carolina ROTC students in 2010 that at some point there would be careful steps in that direction.

Already, however, women are serving with special operations forces in support jobs such as intelligence analysts, legal specialists, builders and administration assistants.

Vee Penrod, the deputy assistant undersecretary of defense for military personnel, said officials will continue to look for other possible changes, but this was a good start.

great step forward,” said Penrod, who served in the Air Force for 35 years and recalled that at one point women weren’t allow to be stationed at Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota because “it was too cold.”

The numbers, however, underscore how far they have to go. There are currently more than 250,000 positions across the military that are closed to women, and the latest changes will open up about 14,000 of them.

Nearly all are in the Army, mainly due to its size as the largest service and the fact that it bans women from infantry or ground combat jobs. The new rules open just 371 jobs in the Marine Corps and 60 in the Navy.

Efforts to expand jobs for women in the Navy are complicated because of privacy considerations, particularly on smaller ships where living quarters are shared by large numbers of sailors.

Though numbers vary by service branch, women make up more than 14 percent of the nation’s armed forces – that’s roughly 200,000 women in the active duty force of 1.43 million. There long has been opposition to putting them in combat, based on questions of whether women have the necessary strength and stamina, or whether their presence might hurt unit cohesion. There also have been suggestions that the American public would not tolerate large numbers of women being killed in war.

But the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where battlefield lines are scattered and blurred, and insurgents can be around every corner, have made it almost impossible to keep

women clear of combat. Some 280,000 women have been sent to Iraq, Afghanistan or to jobs in neighboring nations in support of the wars, roughly 12 percent of all those who have served there. Of the more than 6,300 who have been killed, 144 were women.

Still, not everyone likes the changes.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis said he doesn’t see how the new policy helps national security.

“This does not dismiss the sexual tension issues, nor does it dismiss the differences physiologically between men and women in terms of cardiovascular fitness,” Maginnis said.

The Service Women’s Action Network’s response was mixed.

“On the plus side, this is a huge step in the right direction,” said Anu Bhagwati, former Marine Corps captain and executive director of the network.

However, she said it was “extremely disappointing” that the ban would continue on women becoming infantry.

“To continue such a ban is to ignore the talents and leadership that women bring to the military, and it further penalizes servicewomen by denying them the opportunity for future promotions and assignments that are primarily given to personnel from combat arms specialties.”

The Pentagon report, which initially was due out last spring, comes nearly a year after an independent panel called for the military to lift its ban on women in combat. The Military Leadership Diversity Commission said the Pentagon should phase in additional career fields and units that women could be assigned to.

The Honors College class is offered only in the fall and challenges students to approach history as something other than reciting the past.

The unique course also offers non-history majors the opportunity to experience higher level historical work than they might otherwise be exposed to, Gooding said.

“The class gives students the opportunity to engage in historical thinking and work in a way they normally wouldn’t engage in unless they were history majors,” he said. “It’s a fun time.”

Pakistani man fights police over 40-foot shark

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) — Qasim Khan waged the unlikeliest of battles with Pakistani authorities Thursday over the right to charge hundreds of curious visitors the equivalent of 22 cents each to see a roughly 40-foot whale shark he bought from a fisherman.

Khan is in the business of buying fish, albeit usually much smaller ones, and jumped at the chance on Tuesday to pay about $2,200 for the 20-ton behemoth, which was discovered dead in the Arabian Sea off the southern Pakistani city of Karachi.

Business was brisk Wednesday, as several thousand people paid to see the brown and white-spotted shark, which Khan set up under a cloth tent next to the harbor. People crowded around to put their hands on the massive fish, and families snapped their picture with it – ignoring the pungent smell as it began to rot.

But police cracked down Thursday, saying fishery authorities had decided people should be allowed to see the shark for free. Khan resisted and hid his prize attraction under the giant piece of green cloth he had previously used as a tent.

The move sparked a comic game of cat and mouse between Khan and the police.

They would order him to remove the cover, which he

“We are told to protect and facilitate the people to see this rare fish, but this man is not allowing this,” said police inspector Mohammad Aslam at the scene.

Khan countered by saying he paid 200,000 rupees for it. “To recover my cost I am charging just 20 rupees per

ticket, but the forsaken fishery authorities have deprived me of this fortune,” he said.

The altercation angered some of the hundreds of people who crowded around the fish.

“We came here to see the fish after the media hype, but to our dismay they are not allowing us to see it,” said a young businessman, Sohail Shah.

One local newspaper had trumpeted the discovery with a headline that read “All is ‘whale:’ ‘Moby Dick’ comes to town ahead of Karachi Literature Festival.”

Whale sharks, which are believed to grow up to 65 feet (20 meters) in length, are the largest fish in the sea and primarily feed on plankton, squid and small fish. They are found in tropical and warm temper-

ate seas, and are harmless to humans.

Some people who turned up in Karachi were upset to see people climbing all over the shark.

“This is sheer disrespect for animals,” said 20-year-old nursing student Usman Zada.

But nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of 9-year-old Fizza Umar, who came with her father.

“It was so huge!” Umar said.

“I wish I could take it home.”

Ashraf Daniel, a pastor of an Anglican church, was also delighted by the visit because he felt it reinforced his religious faith.

“Our Bible says that Saint Jonah survived three days in the belly of a whale, so I brought my children to see themselves the strength of God,” said Daniel.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood wants government sacked CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood called Thursday on the ruling generals to sack the military-appointed government, saying it has failed to manage the deteriorating security and economic situation in the country.

The Islamic fundamentalist Brotherhood controls nearly 50 percent of the seats in the new parliament, by far the single largest bloc to emerge from Egypt’s freest and fairest elections in decades. Brotherhood spokesman Mahmoud Ghozlan said the military should appoint a Brotherhood representative as prime minister, who would then form a new government.

The calls for sacking the Cabinet, headed by Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri, come after deadly soccer riot that sparked days of clashes between protesters and the police. At least 74 were killed in the riot on Feb. 1 and at least 15 more died in the clashes that followed.

“We call on the military council to sack this government that has failed to handle this big event and to form another government,” said Ghozlan. “If there is a government in place that is really backed by the choice of the people, it will act without regard for any pressure from anyone. It will seek to reassure the people and provide it with security,” he added.

There have been periodic bursts of protests and deadly clashes since the uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak a year ago. There has also been a wave of crime, notably a spate of bank heists, over the past few weeks.

Military troops deployed around the country starting Wednesday in an attempt to restore some security, and as state media said, “restore the state’s prestige.” Mobile patrols roved main roads and squares, and other troops guarded government ministries, banks and other public buildings.

Many blame police for the failure to stop the deadly riots and criticize the police for excessive use of force to break up ensuing protests. The deadly week renewed accusations that the ruling military council had mismanaged what was supposed to be a transition to democracy and revived calls for the generals to step down.

The security surge comes just days before a general strike starting Feb. 11 – the one year anniversary of Mubarak’s ouster – to demand the quick transfer to civilian rule. The call has gained traction, and was widely criticized by the military and the Brotherhood as an attempt to destabilize the country.

Adding to the precarious security situation, tribesmen briefly kidnapped 18 Egyptian border guards along the frontier with Israel in the Sinai Peninsula before releasing them. Security officials said the Bedouin tribesmen snatched the guards from positions along the border to protest the killing of one of their members, a smuggler,

as he tried to sneak into Israel days ago.

After holding negotiations with tribal leaders, the kidnappers freed the guards, one of the security officials said.

The Brotherhood calls for forming a new government appear to be partially in response to growing dissent.

Essam el-Erian, a leading Brotherhood lawmaker, said negotiations to form such a government have not begun yet, and could only happen with the approval of the military council.

“We are a considerable bloc that can create an agreement over such a government,” he said. “The country needs an effective government.”

Military generals had previously said they would not be opposed to a government formed

by the parliament majority. The legislature’s primary task remains selecting the 100-member constituent assembly which will be entrusted with writing the country’s new constitution.

Many among Egypt’s liberal and secular revolutionary groups have grown critical of the Brotherhood, accusing it of attempting to monopolize the political scene and of working closely with the ruling generals.

The youth-dominated groups fear the Brotherhood may strike a deal with the military council – giving the military a future say in politics to ensure the Brotherhood’s hold on authority and influence the writing of a new constitution.

network Al-Jazeera that a widebased coalition government should reflect the sizes of the respective political groups in parliament, but also include technocrats and public figures.

He said he expected it to be led by a member of the Brotherhood’s political arm, the Freedom and Justice party.

the U.S. Egyptian officials have cracked down on foreign nonprofit pro-democracy groups, including four American organizations, accusing them of using foreign funds to foment protests in the country.

Judges referred 16 Americans and 27 others, including Europeans and Egyptians, to trial on these charges, in an escalation that threatens to rock Cairo’s once-solid relations with Washington.

Desperate measures

West Virginia looks to keep tournament hopes alive against Louisville Saturday by john terry managing editor

The West Virginia men’s basketball team is desperate for a win.

So desperate that West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said his team is “going to do everything (it) can possible do to try to win” Saturday’s game against Louisville.

Three weeks ago, West Virginia was looking like a lock for the NCAA tournament, but after losing four of its last five, most recently to Notre Dame, the Mountaineers need to start juicing up their tournament resume.

Louisville, who hasn’t won in Morgantown since 2009, are winners of five straight, including a 21-point victory against Connecticut.

The Cardinals started the season with 12 straight wins, but then struggled losing five of seven games. They lost to then-No. 12 Georgetown, No. 3 Kentucky, Notre Dame, Providence and No. 22 Marquette.

“Typical of (Louisville head coach Rick Pitino’s) teams, they get better at this time of the year,” Huggins said, Kyle Kuric leads Louisville’s scoring attack with 13 points per contest, but has three other double-figure scorers to back him up. Russ Smith averages 12.1 points, while Chris Smith and Gorgui Dieng each are scoring 10.4 per contest.

Dieng leads the team with 9.3 rebounds per game.

“They’re good. They have great players. They’re talented,” Huggins said.

Huggins also said Louisville will cause the Mountaineer offense problems because of the different defensive sets it offers.

“They’re very versatile defensively,”

Huggins said. “They can press you, play that 2-3 zone and are very capable of playing man.”

The Cardinals are second in the Big East averaging 9.5 steals per game and are first in the league with 26.3 defensive boards per game.

The last five games between the two schools – dating back to 2009 – has been decided by an average of just three points. The Cardinals have won three of the them.

The Mountaineers have a lot of experience in close games this season that could work to their advantage.

West Virginia has played in five overtime games this season – one in double overtime. While the Mountaineers are 4-1 in overtime games, they are just 4-3 in games decided by five points or less.

“We have been in a lot of close games – that’s just the nature of our team,” Huggins said. “We have a hard time getting away from anybody. We need to make some shots at the end of the game and not turn it over.”

Louisville’s offense is averaging 71.6 points per game, meaning West Virginia’s offense will have to perform better than it did in Wednesday’s loss to Notre Dame, where it scored just 55 points.

Senior Truck Bryant, who is second on the team with 16.9 points, scored zero in the loss. Senior Kevin Jones had his nine-game streak of 20-point performances in the loss, too.

“We have to go back and look at what we did in the (Notre Dame) game,” Jones said. “We have to limit our turnovers, or it could get real bad Saturday.”

Tip-off for Saturday’s game is scheduled for noon. patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum

Mountaineers need to move on after tough loss to Notre Dame by michael carvelli sports editor

With 9:48 to play in the first half, West Virginia held a 12-10 lead against Notre Dame.

Thirty seconds later, sophomore guard Jerian Grant’s jumper tied the game and for the next 24 minutes, the Irish held the lead.

Notre Dame went into the locker room with a 10-point lead and extended that lead to as many as 12 points early in the second half.

So, when West Virginia was finally able to regain the lead with a little more than five minutes to play in the game, it didn’t come without a lot of hard work against an Irish team that prides itself in slowing the game’s tempo when it has the lead.

“Once they have a sevenpoint lead, they’re comfortable with it because they’re going to play with the ball for 32 seconds,” said junior forward Deniz Kilicli. “An 11 or 12-point difference is a lot tougher to come back from against a team like that.

That’s a lot of points when they hold it like that, and we did it.

“But with that kind of team

that has sharpshooters, if you make one mistake, they make you pay for it.”

That mistake came with two minutes to play when the game was tied at 45.

Grant stole the ball from WVU senior guard Truck Bryant and hit a three-pointer to give the Irish the lead for good.

In the final 1:52, the Mountaineers were outscored 10-6 for their fourth loss in five games.

It was also the first time West Virginia has lost backto-back games at the Coliseum since January 2008.

“This one hurts,” said senior forward Kevin Jones.

“This was a tough loss. This is a game that we were really sure we could win.”

With six games remaining and only six Big East Conference victories, the Mountaineers have now found themselves in a situation where they have to win down the stretch or else they will miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since head coach Bob Huggins as been at WVU. “We’re not dead yet,” Kilicli said. “We lost the battle,

TOUGH TEST

Mountaineers take on No. 2 Notre Dame on the road looking for fourth straight win

By Ben Gaughan

Associate Sports Editor

West Virginia’s most recent upset came against No. 20 Louisville last weekend. They will try to repeat that action against No. 2 Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., Saturday.

The Fighting Irish are the Mountaineers’ toughest test to date, as they have only one loss this season, which came against No. 1 Baylor back in November.

“Notre Dame is a great team,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “Probably them and Baylor are the top two teams in the country.”

This is true.

Notre Dame has a high-powered offense that is efficient and well-coached.

The Irish are No. 1 in the nation in scoring offense at 83.6 points per game. West Virginia will have its hands full on defense, but also shows discipline of its own, as it has the No. 4 scoring defense in the country, allowing an average of just 49.2 points per game.

Notre Dame also boasts one of the most experienced lineups in the country, with four players averaging 12 or more points per game.

The No. 2 team in the nation is led by junior point guard Skylar Diggins. The 2011 third-team allAmerican averages 16.5 points per game, first on the team. She also averages three rebounds per game and shoots 37.5 percent from 3-point range. Diggins also leads the team, by far, with 146 assists on the year. She ranks No. 14 in the nation at six per game.

Diggins is one of the most versatile and athletic playmakers in the country, and she is hard to stop when she gets in a flow.

However, the junior guard is not the only weapon Notre Dame has at its disposal. Senior guard

Natalie Novosel is averaging 14.9 points per game, while senior forward Devereaux Peters leads the team with 8.6 rebounds, while scoring 12.3 points per game.

Notre Dame made it to the final four last season and knows what it takes to win big league games like the one coming this Saturday.

Carey made it clear that his team is going to go on the road and compete as hard as possible.

“We’re not going down there to lose,” Carey said. “We’re going to go down there and try to win the game. Win or lose, we have to compete.”

According to Carey, his team is going to learn a lot from this game, and it will help the players to make progress as the end of the regular season nears.

West Virginia has been clicking on all cylinders over the past few games. They know it has to continue Saturday for the team to stay competitive.

Junior forwards Asya Bussie and Ayana Dunning have had strong games during West Virginia’s three-game win streak and will need to dominate the inside post.

Bussie is averaging 10 points per game over the last three games, while Dunning is averaging 9.3.

The Mountaineer guards are going to have to get those two the ball and run screen plays for them to get to the basket against the Irish.

“Are they a great team, a veteran team – absolutely,” Carey said of Notre Dame. “They’re one of the top two teams in the country without a doubt. They’re like a machine offensively and they’re aggressive and they can play.

They press and they’re strong; they can run. So we’ll have our hands full.” ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Butts confident with team heading WVU hopes to recover from Pitt loss into matchup with Ohio State by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia wrestling team will travel to Athens, Ohio, to face the Bobcats (3-5) in hopes of recovering from a loss to archrival Pittsburgh last weekend.

The Bobcats, who will wrestle their final home match against the Mountaineers, are coming off a 22-18 win over Buffalo.

Ohio had its toughest match of the season against No. 16 Kent State. The Bobcats trailed by a mere three points at one point of the match. Kent State finished strong by winning four out of the final five matches.

Ohio’s Jeremy Johnson leads the team with an undefeated dual record this season. The sophomore improved his dual record to 8-0 following a pin victory against Buffalo. His pin was his 10th of the year and his fifth consecutive victory.

by sebouh majarian sports writer

Last weekend’s 194.65194.05 loss to No. 22 Michigan is a distant memory for the No. 24 West Virginia gymnastics team.

The Mountaineers (5-2, 3-0 EAGL) and first-year head coach Jason Butts are confident heading into this weekend’s meet against No. 11 Ohio State (3-2, 1-2 Big-Ten) No. 13 Auburn (2-6, 0-4 SEC), and Ball State (1-4, 0-3 MAC).

“I’m really excited,” Butts said. “Number one, because we’re just as good as these teams, and I think that’s going to help us with the judges.

I think that’s going to help our team’s confidence to bring in teams that are ranked so high – much higher than us, but to see that we’re just as good, if not better than they are.”

Butts and his team have already erased the negative images from last weekend where two falls on beam in the final rotation combined with a 48.825 score on floor from the Wolverines cost WVU the meet.

“They’re so confident, and they are such a strong beam group that they get a little bit complacent so we were just like, we really have to attack at it this week,” Butts said.

Sophomore Hope Sloanhoffer continued her stellar season by registering her third straight 39-plus score. The Cornwall, N.Y., native ranks No. 26 nationally in the all-around with an average score of 39.105.

“When it’s go time, she knows when to turn it on and be super aggressive, and in gymnastics that helps a lot,” Butts said. “She’s a very hard worker in the gym, but she’s the definition of a true competitor, and she’s very determined.

“Last week she knew we could be looking at a score below 194, but she got up and was just amazing,” Butts said. “It’s incredible to have that kind of an athlete on your team.”

This weekend will be one of firsts for the team. The gymnasts will debut their pink leotards in the annual “Pink Meet” to support breast cancer awareness while it will also mark the first and only quadmeet for the Mountaineers this season.

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Head coach Jason Butts hugs a member of the WVU gymnastics team during a match in 2011.

Butts encourages fans to wear pink and come watch what will be an eventful meet as every team will compete simultaneously. Although the constant action will be entertaining for the fans, Butts thinks it will have some benefits for the team, too.

“It makes it easier on the team to concentrate on just us, because there’s so much going on that they can’t see it anyway so they won’t even try to watch it,” Butts said.

WVU’s No. 24 national rank is based on the team’s average score. The Mountaineers are averaging 194.365 points a meet, trailing the Buckeyes (195.53) and Tigers (195.245) but well ahead of Ball State (190.385).

The Mountaineers are second in the Eastern Atlantic Gymnastics League while ranking No. 4 in the region. The team has a chance to pick up the first EAGL victory over a Big 10 (0-5) or SEC (0-3) opponent this season.

The team will only have one more home meet with No. 3

Arkansas coming to Morgantown March 10. Four of the last five competitions will be on the road as the team travels to Maryland, New Hampshire, Denver and LSU. “This is going to give them a boost of confidence and energy to carry on as we hit our hard travel part of the season,” Butts said. “We’re only as good as our competition, so I’m absolutely thrilled that we’re bringing in two teams who are doing so great right now.”

WVU’s rank dropped on three events nationally as the team is now No. 11 on floor (48.95), No. 20 on vault (48.845) and No. 23 on beam (48.415).

One of the girls fighting for a spot in an improving bars lineup is Erica Smith. The Blue Springs, Mo., native competed on bars for two consecutive weeks before an injury sidelined her last weekend.

Freshman Beth Deal likely won’t compete again this week after she, too, missed the team’s last match with an ankle injury. sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

win of the season last Saturday, rose in the national rankings this week alongside redshirt senior Matt Ryan at 184.

Joining Ryan and Williamson in the rankings this week is Shane Young (125), Nathan Pennesi (133), Michael Morales (141) and Lance Bryson (174).

The Bobcats are always a team that is put together well, being right in the middle of Ohio.

“They always put together a very solid team,” said head coach Craig Turnbull. “They seem to wrestle very well.

The two wrestlers that catch your attention are 174 and heavyweight. They’re both nationally ranked. Those are two very important matches.

I hope we come out intrinsically motivated for this time of the year. We have three dual meets left.”

With three dual meets left all on the road, the Mountaineers will look for their best efforts before the Eastern Wrestling League and NCAA Championships begin.

“I think with three matches left, the wrestlers recognize

that we have three opportunities left to really try to get our best wrestling out,” Turnbull said. “It’s just trying to get their best wrestling out going into the EWL Tournament.”

As was the case with many of the matches this season, a strong start is key for success. It’s been apparent that when junior Shane Young (125) starts off strong, other wrestlers build off a lead going into their matches.

“At the beginning, you set the tone,” Turnbull said. “And when we get a good start, generally, it really seems to improve our wrestling. If we don’t have that opportunity, someone’s got to step up and create that momentum in the middle and get us back going. When we get a good start, it’s very helpful.

“The 125 from Ohio University and Shane are 1-1 in their last two matches. This will be a good challenge for Shane. He’s got an opponent who is very confident.”

Action gets underway at 7 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Disc golf team making impact on and off the field since 2009 by jon fehrens sports writer

The West Virginia Disc Golf Club has plans of making a run at a national championship at the end of the season, but it’s not only making an impact on the field.

Dating back to 2009, the Mountaineers have been making charitable efforts to give back to the community.

The first thing they did in 2009 was put in a clinic for local elementary school students during recess.

“We brought portable baskets and taught them the basic rules of the games. It was a fun and easy and gave a reason to get kids outside and play,” said Vice President Kevin Anderson.

The team is holding its annual Ice Bowl Feb. 25, sponsored by the West Virginia Disc Golf Association. With

their combined efforts, they will invite teams from all over to take place in the tournament. The entry fee will be $25, and all proceeds will go to the Bartlett House.

As West Virginia gives back to the community they still manage to compete at a very high level.

“The team is doing very well this year. We hosted a tournament in October and came out of that with our very first national No. 23 ranking.”

With their new No. 23 ranking the Mountaineers look to make some noise heading into the huge Liberty Collegiate Qualifier in Lynchburg, Va., March 3. The winner of that tournament will get an automatic seed in the national tournament held April 12-15.

While the team waits for the big upcoming dates, Anderson is taking every opportunity he can get to make disc

golf even bigger.

“We will have a temporary court set up in the Rec Center and hope to get more students involved. I would also like to see an official field installed by the Rec one day and be able to hold more tournaments here,” he said.

Anderson sees Disc Golf in its simplest form: a medium to go outside and just play, which makes it easy for him to become so passionate about it.

“It is a growing sport that is now evolving into the professional ranks. There are tournaments that professional teams take place in all over the world. This is one of the fastest growing sports not only in the country but around the world because it is a simple concept that is fun and gets people together,” he said dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU has a right to protect its image West Virginia University filed a motion Thursday for a temporary restraining order to stop the sale and production of unlicensed WVU T-shirts, which includes some offensive apparel.

MivaMan LLC/Fastees. com, which has been producing and selling the apparel, is not a licensed WVU vendor and infringed on WVU marks by mimicking uniforms of athletic teams, WVU’s official colors and WVU’s official typeface

– and using it with offensive items, according to a recent press release.

The move was precipitated by the recent flooding of the market with the infringing Tshirts, the press release said.

The University has acted to not only protect it’s image, but the image of the students, alumni, faculty and fans.

In September 2011, WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck released an open letter to fans urging them not to wear the of-

fensive T-shirts after a student had been seen wearing one on ESPN. After the request, the Mountaineer Maniacs started a Tshirt amnesty program, which accepted the offensive and unlicensed apparel and offered students a voucher to promote positive sportsmanship and attempt to discourage the shirts.

The University is right to protect its image and hopefully banish the offensive T-shirts for good, especially since the mak-

ers are not following the law.

It is a crucial time for WVU to have and maintain a positive image since it will soon be entering the Big 12 Conference.

Stopping the spread of offensive merchandise will help the University, and all those associated with it, keep a positive national presence and athletic support.

Friends don’t let friends wear offensive WVU T-shirts; it reflects badly upon the WVU community and discredits the

school.

What’s the point of spending thousands of hard-earned dollars to obtain a quality education if you want your school’s image to be downgraded by vulgar apparel, which is exactly what the T-shirts are doing.

The University has worked to better the image of the school and protect its reputation – do your part, and don’t support the offensive apparel. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The president is not attacking religious freedom Jeremiah Yates opinion editor

Leave it to the GOP and religious conservatives to inhibit efficient health care reform.

In recent weeks, President Barack Obama announced his plan requiring religious affiliated employers to provide full contraceptive coverage to women.

The issue has conservatives in an uproar, claiming that the president is violating the First Amendment by attacking religious freedom.

It is not an act against religion; it is an act for women’s health.

In today’s society, women should have access to all forms of contraceptives. Without them, the rate of unwanted pregnancies and abortions would likely increase. Being able to plan a pregnancy helps households prepare for family life.

Conservatives are blowing this way out of proportion.

Not all of them think it’s limiting religious freedom; some are using this solely to attack the president.

Governor Mitt Romney, a GOP presidential hopeful and former Massachusetts governor, accused Obama of “an attack on religion.” But Romney comes off as a hypocrite because a similar mandate is already in effect in his own state.

Throughout Obama’s presidency, Republicans haven’t shown any interest in viable solutions to health care, education or anything much other than making the president look bad.

This mandate doesn’t infringe on anyone’s religious freedoms for a couple of reasons.

For one, the mandate doesn’t force anyone to use contraceptives. If that were the case, then conservatives would have an argument, but they don’t.

Another reason is that employers wouldn’t have to pay for the contraceptives because the mandate states that insurance

ap

President Barack Obama speaks during a cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House in D.C., Jan. 31. companies would have to supply them at no cost.

It seems to me the only ones who are pushing religious agendas are the right-wing conservatives. They don’t want their employees taking part in something they find immoral, which is an attack on the employees’ religious freedoms, not the employers’.

It’s ridiculous.

What conservatives must realize (even though they never will) is that true religious freedom means having the right not

to practice religion.

The common message conservative America preaches is you should have freedom of religion, just as long as you’re Christian.

Want to build a mosque? You don’t have the right.

You don’t want to go to any church? You don’t have any moral value.

The answers to these questions obviously go against core American values, but are the messages that the religious right spreads.

Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it has always been the Republican way to suppress equal rights for minorities, women, and homosexuals, and to push religious agendas.

Our Constitution clearly separates church and state. But try to run for an elected office as a non-Christian, and it will turn into a weapon for your opponents.

The argument against the president’s mandate is a clear attempt to push religious beliefs on others.

Some of the mandates opponents claim it forces employers to provide for something in which they don’t believe. Which may be true, but the same argument could go for many things employers don’t wish to provide for employees, such as a safe workplace, health care and other benefits.

Employers should not have the right to determine what employees consider right or wrong, especially when it comes to health care.

It doesn’t matter what the

president wants to do for the country; the GOP will do its best to vilify him. Regardless of what conservative pundits say, Obama became the captain of a sinking ship and has kept it afloat.

The mandate should be passed to protect the rights of workers who could benefit greatly from it.

The use of contraceptives may be a religious concern for Catholics and conservatives, but it is a health concern for many more.

Congress must not forget about Alzheimer’s disease david goldberg cavalier daily University of virginia

Imagine it is the year 2030.

Your parents are two of the 7.7 million Americans who have Alzheimer’s disease. You have two kids to take care of and a demanding job. You want to take care of your parents, but cannot physically be there all the time to make sure they are okay. You see your parents’ savings rapidly disappear. You are emotionally drained as you watch your parents slowly lose the ability to do everything.

What can you do? What could you have done differently?

Luckily, it is not 2030, but 2012. I am writing this article because I think it is time that we as a nation step up to the

DA THEDAONLINE.COM

plate and tackle this problem head on.

Yes, I think it is fantastic that the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) passed in January 2011. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, “The National Alzheimer’s Project Act requires creation of a national strategic plan to address the rapidly escalating Alzheimer’s disease crisis and will coordinate Alzheimer’s disease efforts across the federal government.”

NAPA was a start, but we need to pass legislation which will actually accomplish goals and not just state them. Congress needs to follow through and pass the Alzheimer’s legislation that is on the table: the HOPE Act and the Alzheimer’s Breakthrough Act. These two acts provide legislation that will implement the goals set in the NAPA Act.

It is an election year, and so many people do not think much legislation will be passed this year. This is my message to Congress: Prove me wrong and pass this legislation to start the path to end Alzheimer’s.

Congress – if we hold off investing for a cure or a way to slow the progression of the disease today, we will be paying for it later. According to the Alzheimer’s Association: “Over the next 40 years, caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s will cost American society $20 trillion – including $15 trillion to Medicare and Medicaid.” With a health care system that already has its problems, Alzheimer’s disease will only escalate them.

As a nation, we can ill-afford to continue with the status quo in dealing with Alzheimer’s.

And frankly, the members of

Congress are in an age group that should be very concerned about Alzheimer’s.

According to the Congressional Research Service, in the 112th Congress the average age of a U.S. Senator is 62.2 years old and the average age of a U.S. Representative is 56.7 years old.

The problems accompanying aging are sobering to think about, and they are an honest reality which our lawmakers should consider.

Finally, I want to reach out to my generation. I am 22 years old and know firsthand the effects of Alzheimer’s, as my grandfather had the disease.

I also know that I am in the generation which many older Americans describe as “the screwed generation.”

We are the generation which is going to have to pay the piper from the federal deficit.

We are the generation which will not get Social Security and other benefits which older Americans receive today. Does that mean we are supposed to just accept every problem and not try to improve things? No, we can do our part and try to help best we can.

It always helps to have a celebrity who supports a cause that needs attention. Seth Rogen and his wife, Lauren Miller, recently held an event called “Hilarity For Charity” to raise money and awareness among the younger generation about Alzheimer’s disease.

To quote Rogen, “Hilarity for Charity” started as a message to my generation that it’s time to step up and realize that Alzheimer’s is not just an ‘old person disease,’ but something that will greatly affect all of us.”

Seth and Lauren are actively involved in raising awareness

and fundraising for Alzheimer’s, as Lauren’s mother was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 55. They raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for their event and are a great example of how younger generations can make a difference.

Where does that leave us?

Of course we do not have the same outreach as a Hollywood star, but we can do plenty.

We can be a voice. Please go to this website – http://www. alzimpact.org/Legislative-Action-Center – to write your Congressmen and ask him to help pass legislation which can help cure Alzheimer’s.

You can also take 30 seconds to fill out a form which will go to President Obama to ask him to include Alzheimer’s in his budget this year: http:// www.alz.org/petition/.

It may not feel like much, but it truly will make a difference.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you juggle work, relationships and a long-term dream. You might lean one way or another during parts of the year. Depending on your background and needs, you will feel more comfortable dealing with a specific area. If you are single, you’ll meet someone quite exotic and different who opens doors you have never seen. If you are attached, you see a dimension of your mate that is new. Accept and grow with this side. LIBRA can say awful comments without others even realizing it until hours later.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You seem to be more creative and dynamic than you have been in a while. A situation around work could become very strange or unusual, if it isn’t already! As soon as you can, join a friend or family member.

Tonight: At home, but don’t let it be alone.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Carefully finish up detailed information in the morning. The unexpected runs riot through your afternoon, lightening up the pace and your mood -- if you have a sense of humor. In what appears to be nothing less than a gawky move, someone is expressing his or her caring. Tonight: Stop.

Make time for a friend.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Defer to others, especially as you are focused on a key matter. Let them carry the ball, but be ready for a surprise or two.

You cannot control others, so appreciate their individuality. Close bonds are formed through less judgment. Tonight: Let the weekend begin.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Move quickly in the a.m., when you are more energized. Complications could shatter the best-laid plans in the afternoon. Maintain a sense of humor, and all will end well.

Your sense of well-being grows as a result of handling this hassle. Tonight: Treat a friend well.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Recognize that you are human and can do only so much. Your own level of energy will define the possibilities. On the other hand, you could try the power of positive thinking. The end results could be tremendously satisfying. Tonight: Put your feet up.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You might want to postpone plans until the afternoon. At that point, you will resolve issues spontaneously -- so much so that you might not even recognize them. In this mood, you see only pluses. A friend tosses perhaps too much caring on you!

Tonight: Start the weekend well.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You might have a case of weekend fever. Your energy and willingness to complete any pending work demonstrate how much you want time off. Consider your plans and expectations. Do your best to fulfill them. Tonight: You could be a little wild.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Use the a.m. for meetings and interpersonal matters. For whatever reason, you decide to cocoon and do some reflecting in the afternoon. Some of you simply might be tired, but for many, new information causes you to take another look at an im-

portant matter. Tonight: Not to be found.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Friends surround you and will be most responsive in the afternoon. Invitations, project ideas and a new opportunity all might appear, adding to your choices. Do you feel that you are on overload? Know that not everything needs to be handled immediately. Tonight: Let go of stress, and accept an invitation.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Make a key phone call or have an important meeting in the a.m., when others are still in work mode. You have a lot of responsibilities that could hold you back from making any more commitments, or even entertaining the idea. Tonight: Count on a late night.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You might be wondering what is best to do.

This discussion involves another person helping you to see a personal matter differently. As soon as you can, cut the routine and take off. Invigorate your mind and body with a change of scenery. Tonight: Open up to change.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You could view another’s behavior with some cynicism. You question how you can change the direction of what is happening. Stop and remember that you cannot change anyone; but you, personally, have options. Tonight: Open up to a trusted friend and/or loved one.

West Virginia looks to get first win against George Washington by robert kreis sports writer

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

WVU head coach Bob Huggins and senior forward Kevin Jones look on at the end of West Virginia’s loss to Pittsburgh Jan. 30.

Pitt game to be aired on ESPN at 9 p.m.

The television network for the West Virginia men’s basketball team’s game against Pittsburgh on Feb. 16 was announced Thursday.

The game will tip off from the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., at 9 p.m. and will air on ESPN. Before Thursday, it was listed as either ESPN or ESPN2.

WVU lost to the Panthers at the Coliseum Jan. 30 as part of ESPN’s Big Monday.

West Virginia hasn’t beaten Pittsburgh on the road since 2005, the only time the Mountaineers have won since the Petersen Events Center opened.

The Mountaineers are cur-

rently 16-9 overall and are No. 8 in the Big East Conference with a 6-6 record in league play. WVU has lost four of its last five conference games.

After starting Big East play 0-7, Pitt has won four of its last five Big East games. The Panthers are tied for No. 11 in the league standings heading into Sunday’s road game against Seton Hall.

Both teams are coming off losses Wednesday.

The Mountaineers fell to Notre Dame 55-51 at the Coliseum, while Pitt fell 63-51 to South Florida in the first of its two-game road trip.

Leafs-Wings in Big House for 2013 Winter Classic ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs will began 2013 by renewing their rivalry at one of North America’s most iconic stadiums.

The two Original Six foes will play in the Winter Classic on Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium, part of an outdoor showcase that will also include minor league and college hockey games at Detroit’s Comerica Park.

Toronto will become the first Canadian team to play in the Winter Classic when the Maple Leafs and Red Wings face off in Ann Arbor, about 45 miles west of Detroit.

“It’s Hockeytown versus the center of the hockey universe,” Toronto general manager Brian

Burke said.

The NHL announced its plan at a news conference Thursday at Comerica, the home of the Detroit Tigers. Later, there was an additional event for media on the field at Michigan Stadium, the football venue that also hosted a college hockey game in 2010 between Michigan and Michigan State. That game set a Guinness World Record for most fans at a hockey game with 104,173.

The league is already talking about setting a new mark when the pros take the ice.

“Even with 115,000 or more tickets available, we still won’t have enough to satisfy the demand,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said.

Random Acts of Kindness

FOOD DRIVE Come support the Mountaineers and a Good Cause on Saturday.

Please bring a can of non-perishable food to the basketball game against Louisville on Saturday, February 11th At 12 p.m.

Go Mountaineers!

Following a woeful 0-5 start, the West Virginia women’s tennis head coach Tina Samara needed to make some changes as the Mountaineers prepared to welcome George Washington University to Morgantown Saturday at 1 p.m.

“We have been playing some music (at practice), which keeps the mood a little lighter,” Samara said. “We’ve been letting (the team) have a little more input on what we do.”

With the lightened mood, and more specifically the team being more involved with the practice regiment, Samara is starting to see the team take more ownership in its responsibilities. In only a week, Samara has already seen the team having better, more consistent practices. And, as long as that continues, she has no reason to go back to the old practices.

“Our goal is to make (the team) better,” she said. “If it means doing things that aren’t normal for us, but the result is that they are working harder, I have no problem with it.”

Samara acknowledges that she had to do something to switch up the team’s mentality, and no matter how unorthodox it may be, as long as it is working, she welcomes it with open arms.

“We were getting into a deep hole with the (entire) situation,” Samara said. “We had to find a way for them to remember why they play.

“We were in a rut where I

Sophomore Mary Chupa and the WVU tennis team will look to get its first victory of the year against George Washington. think they were having a hard time finding anything positive, and we realized we needed to make a change pretty quickly to get them out of that.”

With the changes she has seen in practice, Samara is convinced that the season’s dark days are behind the team, and is confident they can make a run this season. At this point, all she believes it will take is one win, particularly a tough win, before the team starts rolling.

“I think we just have to get that one win where we battle,” she said. “I mean a win, period, but the win where we re-

ally have to battle and have to step it up and find a way to win.

“I think once we get that one win, things will change pretty quickly.”

To get that win the players will have to continue to work hard as a team, which according to Samara, is different than any other level of tennis.

“You win and lose as a team,” she said. “In college tennis, that’s the hardest transition these kids have coming into it.

Tennis before and after college is not a team sport.

“We need to win at every spot; every spot is worth the same.”

With all that has happened this season, Samara has never lost confidence in her team, and continues to exude that confidence for this weekends match against George Washington.

“Even under the circumstances, we can win,” Samara said. “It’s going to require everybody, especially with a person short, to do what they are capable of doing, but I think it’s doable.

“This week in practice hopefully made (the team) believe that, as well.”

to haunt the Mountaineers.

Wednesday, Huggins tried to stress to the team what it should mean to get to play in a West Virginia uniform and play for the people of the state.

“Everyone in this state works so hard to get what they deserve,” Kilicli said after the game. “When we don’t dive to the ball, it looks bad. I think it’s disrespectful to the fans and I apologize for that.

“We should think about that tonight; everybody should.

Some fundamental issues you

can go over it, and you can change it, but when we have issues in our hearts, that’s a bad thing.”

This inexperienced WVU team has never been in a position like this.

This is the first time it has really had to play its way into the NCAA tournament in the final games of the season in quite some time. As far as Kilicli sees it, the team can treat this situation one of two ways: The Mountaineers can step up and get in, or they can phone

it in for the final six games.

“The reality is that the worst situation we could put ourselves in is in front of us,” he said.

“If you want to be a baby, and just go down and cry about it, we’ll lose another six games, and we’ll go to the NIT. We’ve got to suck it up and just play the next game.

“Everybody says they love this game more than anything, now’s when you show it.”

It was Pat White’s final game and rival USF was in town, so nearly 50,000 Mountaineer fans dressed in white, sporting T-shirts that read, “End of an Era,” braved the frigid winds and filled Milan Puskar Stadium to give a proper sendoff to a West Virginia legend.

The game was ugly, and the conditions were awful, but it didn’t matter. Mountaineer fans wanted to see their hero at Mountaineer Field one more time, and that senior class was the last one to witness a season with White under center.

In the end, the indescribable feeling between Mountaineer fans and White was palpable in the stadium that night, and that is why this moment is unforgettable.

Valentine’s date attire to make jaws drop Christina GuTIERREZ

A&E WRITER

With Valentine’s Day approaching, love is in the air.

Though some will be inside mourning with a pint of ice cream, many are getting prepped for an evening to remember.

Maybe you’re going on a romantic dinner date or staying in for something a bit more intimate. Or maybe you’re going out on the town with your fellow single girlfriends.

Whatever the situation, there is a perfect outfit for the occasion. The main rule, of course, is to look hot.

A date with a longtime boyfriend requires a different look than a first impression with a new guy.

If you’ve been dating your guy for a long time, you’d want to make sure not to fall into a routine. Make sure you’re doing and wearing something different.

A plunging neckline or micro mini will catch his eye when you make him your favorite accessory.

Though it won’t be on long, what you choose to wear after you get home is just as important.

The key to purchasing your VDay lingerie is: If you question whether it’s too outrageous, get it!

Make him remember what has kept you two together for so long and why he’d be a fool to ever leave you.

For a new date, however, you’ll want to make sure to keep it classy.

No turtlenecks or mom jeans, of course, but make sure to choose something that doesn’t need to be strategically placed to avoid some X-rated slippage.

There are ways to draw attention to your best physical features without completely baring them.

If you have a great butt and legs, for example, he’s probably noticed. So, enhance them without looking cheap. Wear something tight that hugs your curves but is long enough to cover your panty line.

Paired with a super high pair of heels, he’ll be fantasizing already. If you still don’t know exactly what to wear, remember

that crimson red dresses are the little black dresses of Valentine’s Day. Find your perfect shade and shape and pair it with some hot heels and jewelry.

If you just can’t seem to get away from the always faithful LBD, a bold red lip is a must.

Maybe even a matching red heel and/or clutch.

If you’ll be drinking your sorrows away on your newly declared “girl’s night,” stilettos might not be the best choice.

Just because you don’t have a date, you can – and should – still look smokin’ hot.

Wearing red or pink isn’t important for you. In fact, we say boycott it. Wear black and leather.

Do a sexy, smoky eye, big sexy hair, and, if you want to make a statement with red lipstick, make it blood red.

It is a choice not to have a date on Valentine’s Day so make a stand and show them what they’re missing.

So whether you’re for or against it, get in the spirit of the holiday, and wear it your way. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Tutto Gelato reopens at new location in Suburban Plaza

CLASSIFIEDS SPECIAL NOTICES

Freshly baked cones cool on the counter of Tutto Gelato’s new location in Suburban Plaza.

By Josh Ewers

a&E Correspondent

Morgantown’s delicious dessert destination, Tutto Gelato, has completed its crosstown migration and has reopened.

Now located at 755 Chestnut Ridge Road, the family-owned business has made several changes and additions in association with the move.

Newly redubbed Tutto Gelato Cafe, one of the longtime local favorites has more to offer than ever before including new menu items, indoor seating and special deals that will become available during the restaurant’s official grand opening event.

“We [now] have homemade soups, salads, panini, and breakfast items,” said Sarah Straface, co-owner of Tutto Gelato Cafe. “Our coffees, smoothies, teas, espresso bar, and gelato are all the same...With some new special gelato flavors, of course.”

However, one of the cafe’s most exciting new features isn’t actually on the menu. It’s the cafe itself, which, for the first time in the company’s history,

offers customers indoor seating complete with Wi-Fi capability.

“Our new location is a comfy cafe where people can relax with a book or a nook, a laptop, a gelato that hits the spot, homemade biscotti, a coffee, a panini or other favorites from Italy,” Straface said. “We are going for a cozy ambiance with the same quality homemade gelato, coupled with food and atmosphere.”

This type of atmosphere will likely attract hordes of students and workers alike in the near future.

“So far, we have simply ripped off the paper from the windows to see who would stumble in, and we have been pleasantly surprised,” Straface said. “Since we have only been ‘open’ about five days, we have mainly seen nearby professionals stop in for lunch. I am in hopes that many of our regular student patrons will come see us soon.”

While the present mood among the restaurant’s owners is celebratory, the move didn’t come without hardship and bittersweet goodbyes.

“It was a tough decision, ac-

tually, as our downtown spot was where we began and we loved the atmosphere of downtown,” Straface said. “We nearly tripled in size ... I’ll say there were some ‘growing pains’ with making such a large move, but we are ecstatic with our new feel, new menu and new opportunity to provide more to our customers.”

The Straface cousins’ gelateria is currently open for business, but the pace figures to pick up big-time next month when the official grand opening takes place.

“You should be expecting a grand opening within the next month,” Straface said. “If you ‘like’ us on Facebook, you will hear about deals and promotions for the upcoming grand opening.”

In addition to the grand opening deals to come, a discount is offered to those who have a West Virginia University student ID. The new location is open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m.-9 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Australian duo Air Supply to play CAC

By Alex Panos

A&E correspondent

After 37 years of touring together, the iconic duo of Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell have had multiple singles reach multimillion plays on the radio. Local residents along with West Virginia University faculty and staff will have the opportunity to hear them in person.

“We are looking forward to this show,” said lead singer Russell Hitchcock.

As a soft rock ballad group, Hitchcock said that their music is a perfect complement to this romantic time of year. Air Supply will be performing live in Morgantown this weekend.

The concert is not expected to be predominantly acoustic rock, as it was in the past.

Fans in attendance will also be treated to a loud rock ‘n’ roll show.

“We are going to play things people are familiar with and three or four new things,” Hitchcock said.

Over the past three decades, Air Supply has become famous for their live performances that, according to their official

website. ‘hold audiences captive around the World.’

The group was the first Western pop group to tour China, Taiwan and similar countries that until then did not permit pop music to be performed within its borders.

Hitchcock said they perform between 120 and 130 shows a year. In 2011 alone they performed more than 150 shows.

Since their debut album “Life Support,” Air Supply has been on the top of the music charts for decades. Their first single “Lost in Love” was named song of the year in 1980. Their second single “All Out of Love” climbed to the top of many billboard charts upon its release in the same year.

Air Supply’s run of seven consecutive top-five hit singles in the 1980s equaled a feat at the time previously accomplished by only The Beatles.

The Creative Arts Center strives to bring in the most developed, talented and worldly groups possible, according to WVU Arts and Entertainment Public Relations Specialist David Ryan.

Air Supply’s long career and

lifetime success makes them one of the most established groups to ever come through and perform in Morgantown.

“We’re happy to bring in names people know, like and want to come and see,” Ryan said. “(Air Supply) has been known for soft-rock love ballads for nearly four decades.

It’s a great fit for Valentine’s Day.” Hitchcock believes their body of work speaks for itself, and that they have a great show coming up Sunday.

“People have been enjoying our music for generations,” Hitchcock said. “It should be exciting. We hope everyone comes out to see us and enjoy the evening.”

The concert is Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre at the WVU Creative Arts Center.

The general public can purchase tickets between $45 and $55. Student tickets are being sold at a discounted rate of $27.
