Fryson named chief diversity officer by bryan bumgardner Associate City Editor

Former civil rights attorney and champion for diversity David Fryson has been appointed as the chief diversity officer at West Virginia University, as announced by President James P. Clements at the WVU Faculty Senate meeting Monday.

Fryson, previously of the Office of Legal Affairs and General Counsel at WVU, will now work with the senior leadership team to

promote diversity at the University.

“We’re trying to make the campus more diverse and move inclusive and to create an environment where all can excel,” Clements said.

“His job will be to promote, to build, to recruit, and to work with faculty, staff and students.”

Before he joined WVU, Fryson practiced civil rights law for more than 20 years in federal, state and private courts, in addition to running his own law

Couch burning ‘flunks sustainability 101’ By carlee Lammers City Editor

Whether it be a Mountaineer victory, a Saint Patrick’s Day celebration or the death of Osama Bin Laden, students at West Virginia University are known for celebrating by setting couches ablaze.

In 2011 The City of Morgantown re-evaluated its policy on city couch torchings. Now, fire-starters could face felony charges of third or fourth-degree arson, and if convicted, could spend up to three years in prison.

While facing criminal charges may be on the minds of some fire-starters, many may not understand the environmental implications the flame-engulfed sofa may yield.

In its article “Four wasteful college football traditions,” the Mother Nature Network recently listed WVU’s couch burning history as one of the “college celebrations (that) flunk sustainability 101.”

MNN reporter Matt Hickman said the burning of couches poses not only an issue of waste but also severe issues that cause danger to the environment.

Hickman said many modern couches contain

the flame-retardant chemical called Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE), which releases harmful toxins into the environment when burned.

“The flame-retardant that’s found in furniture is very toxic. There was an effort to phase out PBDE in 2005, but it still makes up about 10 percent on the weight in couches today,” he said. “There has been a modern-day link with the retardant to hormonal diseases and cancer.

You burn these couches, and it is releasing smoke and gas with chemicals in it. It’s highly pollutant.”

Hickman said there has been a movement in recent years to remove flame-retardant chemicals such as PBDE from furniture. However, he said lobbyists have made a huge effort to keep the multi-million dollar chemical industry alive.

WVU Conservation Specialist for Facilities Management Traci Liebig said furniture also has other materials aside from PBDE that can yield harmful effects when burned.

“In the materials used to make couches, there’s a lot of polyester fibers and plastic. The foam padding

firm. Fryson’s experience was one reason Clements said he was chosen for the position.

“He’s got a great background that involves advocacy and personnel-related issues,” he said. “He’s the guy for the job. I think you’ll see some new initiatives rolling out over the next couple of years.”

Fryson is a member of the West Virginia State Bar and received his law degree from WVU, where he served as president of the Black Law

Students Association. He is active in numerous community organizations, such as Opportunities Industrialization Centers of America and West Virginia Multi-fest.

“It’s interesting because this is an extension of what I’ve done my whole life,” Fryson said.

Fryson said he is glad he has the opportunity to continue his work for WVU. “I really appreciate the fact that the president is looking forward in terms of the needs of West Virginia

University,” he said. “WVU needs to be a leader in initiation of diversity throughout campus but more importantly, throughout the state.”

Fryson begins his new position Sept. 17, and he plans to maintain the University’s goals of diversity and inclusiveness.

“If diversity is not really considered and managed, that’s when it runs into problems,” he said.

Early last month, W.Va. governor Earl Ray Tomb-

lin’s announced most state agencies will have to cut their spending by 7.5 percent for the 2012-2013 fiscal year.

Although no official changes have been announced, University officials believe downsizing could cut $12 million from WVU’s budget.

The faculty senate made a motion to draft a letter of appeal to send to the governors office, asking for WVU

GETTING OFF THE FENCE

Fencing is as close to sword fighting as one can get – with regard to the rules and regulations of an Olympic sport, of course.

West Virginia University’s Fencing Club had

its first beginners practice Monday, Sept. 10 on the bottom floor of Stansbury Hall.

The meeting was open to all interested students, including those who have never practiced the sport.

A brief demonstration was given to explain how the sport works.

Many students at the event expressed interest as well as apprehension.

“I’ve always wanted to try it,” said WVU student Cassandra Rinker.

“And I’m afraid if I don’t do it now, I won’t have a chance to do it again.”

WVU’s fencing club also welcomed local high

school students to join.

“I’m interested in fencing because it’s not really a team sport,” said Morgantown High School student Alex Shelledy. “I’m not into team sports, but fencing seems fun, and my parents are very

The construction on practice facilities for music students at the CAC failed to meet its scheduled completion date and will be finished late.

The West Virginia University School of Music aimed to complete an overhaul of the acoustics in its practice rooms by the end of the summer; however, following delays renovations are not set to be complete until October.

“As with any other construction, this kind of thing is expected,” said Keith Jackson, Chair of the School of Music. “If the goal is to conduct a major renovation, this was the least destructive.”

Sophomore music education student Ashley Elliot said the practice facility construction has made it more difficult for her to find an open space amid already scarce availability.

“There aren’t enough rooms to begin with. Now that they’re under construction, it’s hard to get a room,” she said.

Throughout the construction, classrooms have been made available to accommodate students’ needs, Jackson said.

However, Elliott said classrooms have not proved to be the best option for students.

“If I don’t get a practice room, I try to get a classroom,” she said. “Sometimes you get to a room, though, and there’s no piano, or the room is already filled.”

Sophomore voice performance student Lexi Smith said she has made accommodations for herself to avoid the chaos of finding a practice room in the Creative Arts Center.

“I haven’t been down to see the practice rooms this year,” she said. “I’ve been practicing in my house on my own piano because I heard it was crazy down there.”

Jackson said he believes frustration with the process is driven from a lack of communication between the School of Music and its students.

Career Services sets WVU students on TRAK

By Lacey Palmer Staff Writer

For students who need guidance on creating a resume, locating the perfect internship, preparing for an interview or finding their dream job, Career Services has the resources to help.

Beginning today at noon, Career Services Counselor Kelly Stewart will host a series of presentations in room 249A of the Engineering Sciences Building on the Evansdale Campus.

The first presentation will discuss the job search process, career fairs and networking. The second,

on Sept. 18, will focus on resume and letter writing, and the presentation on Sept. 25 will focus on interviewing skills.

Every Wednesday at 4 p.m., Career Services will hold a seminar series in the downtown Career Services office beside the Mountainlair.

This Wednesday the topic will be cover letters and thank-you letters, followed by finding a job and networking on Sept. 19.

Throughout the rest of the semester, the seminar will cover topics such as interviewing questions, dressing for the interview and weighing job offers along with many other topics.

Career Services offers this series of presentations twice a semester.

Stewart will also offer resume critiquing on the Evansdale Campus outside of G39 in the ESB. Students are asked to bring an updated hard copy of their resume for Stewart to review.

If necessary, students can drop off their resume and return to get the critiqued version after class.

There are also many career fairs coming up, and all students, regardless of class ranking, are encouraged to attend.

“We highly recommend that all students come, even freshmen and sophomores, so they can see

Continued from page 1 “I think this is really just a lot of communication issues,” he said. “We currently have classrooms with pianos available, and after 3 p.m., we’re at maximum capacity.”

Jackson said because the renovated practice rooms will feature specialized equipment, including new acoustical materials and new pianos, the materials are harder to obtain.

“These acoustic materials are very specialized.

We can’t just make runs to Home Depot to get everything we need; they have to be special ordered.”

Jackson said he believes the newly renovated facilities are well worth the wait, as they provide a safer, more efficient environment for practice.

“This will be better educationally and will be a safer space to students,” he said.

“This has been years in the making, and now we’re about to make it a reality. I think people need to focus on the fact that this has taken years to implement and we’re almost there.

“It takes practice and time, and the more you do it, the more you get your name out there, you’ll be more inclined to get an internship or job when you need it.”

The West Virginia University Career Fair will be held Sept. 20 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms, and the Engineering Career Fair will be held Sept. 26 and 27 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the ESB. Stewart said there will be approximately 130 companies presenting between the two fairs.

inside is also derived from plastic,” she said. “Obviously, burning plastic is very harmful for the environment.”

Liebig also said couch burning poses a waste issue for WVU students.

“Yeah, it is wasteful,” she said. “It shouldn’t happen at all, but especially because (the couches) could be put to some other use and not just have students burning them.”

Liebig said the University hosts an end of the year rummage sale as a way to eliminate

the MountaineerTRAK kiosks to search for career fairs, events, jobs, workshops and other tools to benefit them in career preparation.

Regardless of what opportunities students utilize, Stewart said all of the tools and assistance Career Services offers can be beneficial in various ways.

“These tools prepare them and get them ready,” Stewart said. “If they don’t do this, they may not know all the little steps. It’s such a competitive market out there that they need to do all of this before they graduate.

The more they get their resume out there, the

more they get exposed, the more networking they do, the better the chance they have of getting their dream job.”

“Every dollar that’s invested in this University from the state has a 40:1 return on the investment, and we have studies that show that,” he said.

Clements stressed WVU’s importance as an economic engine.

“We’re an economic driver that creates jobs,” he said. “Cutting our higher (education) budget would really hurt the economics of the state, I think.”

Even if the budget cuts

occur, Clements assured the administration would work to protect students.

“We’ll do everything we can to ensure quality and affordability,” he said.

“We don’t know what the cut will be, but we’ll do everything we can to try and hold the line on tuition.”

furniture waste from students.

“Every year at the Blue and Gold Mine sale we receive more than 50 couches,” she said. “Students are only here for part of the year, so they don’t want to have to go to IKEA to buy an $800 couch.”

Liebig said the unsold couches from the sale go toward city fire safety courses.

When the city passed the ordinance to make couch burnings a felony, students began formulating plans to host Fire Department sanctioned couch burnings.

Hickman said while a sanctioned event may

eliminate the mess and chaos associated with the fires, it is not the perfect environmental solution.

“It is a better alternative,” he said. “It’s less messy and is controlled, but there’s still that negative exposure to the environment. It’s a solution, not a perfect solution.”

Other wasteful school traditions featured in the MNN article include cleat burning at Syracuse University, tree toilet-papering at Auburn University and touchdown balloons at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Brittany Szafran, the club’s president, said this is the largest group to attend the beginners meeting since she started fencing four years ago.

Instructor Ryan Backos conducted the demonstration.

“The sport of fencing first originated in Spain and later has become one of the five sports – along with Cycling, Athletics, Swimming, and Gymnastics – featured at all of the modern Olympic Games,” he said. “It is an activity that uses bladed weapons, and the object of the game is to hit the other person without being hit.

“There are three types of bladed swords involved in the game, which are Foil, Sabre and Épée.”

Because fencing is a dangerous sport, players must wear a special uniform and a mask to protect them from injuries.

Caged Fury 19 canceled, future unsure by hunter homistek Associate A&E editor

The North American Allied Fight Series’ latest showcase, Caged Fury 19, has been canceled.

Originally slated for Friday at the Morgantown Event Center, the professional mixed martial arts event folded today as a result of “recent complications that have arisen with the West Virginia Athletic Commission,” according to an official NAAFS statement.

While no date is marked yet, the NAAFS plans to move the event to a later time.

“This is a terrible situation and obviously a decision that we were forced to make under the circumstances and obstacles that have been placed in front of us,” said Greg Kalikas, NAAFS CEO and president.

“Needless to say, we are extremely disappointed with the lack of respect and attention given to the event itself and the fighters scheduled to participate.”

Undoubtedly, many fans are disappointed they will not get to see live mixed martial arts action Saturday night, but the damage extends tenfold to the fighters on hand.

Fighting is their livelihood, and a canceled event means a forgone opportunity and months of wasted mental and physi-

cal preparation.

“I’ve been killing myself (training), so I’m very disappointed,” said Rhett Northcraft, a professional fighter left without a matchup on the card.

For other fighters the cancellation can be seen as both a blessing and a curse.

“For me there was good and bad to the cancellation,” said professional fighter Adam Milstead.

“In the previous weeks leading to the fight, I suffered a couple injuries that kept me from doing exactly what I wanted to do training-wise, so in turn I’m able to get a second shot and train the way I want to.”

The positives end there for Milstead, who went on to explain how the canceled event may have cost him the opportunity of a lifetime.

“The Ultimate Fighter,” a popular television show that gives aspiring mixed martial artists the chance to battle for a spot on the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s roster, is holding tryouts for its next season Sept. 17, in Las Vegas, and Milstead was already planning the trip to Sin City.

However, with no fight on Saturday, there will be none of that for the heavyweight standout.

“Not being able to fight on the 15th ruins my chances of trying out for

Matt Sunday/The Daily Athenaeum

Adam Milstead (pictured) is one of many fighters affected by the cancellation of Caged Fury 19.

‘The Ultimate Fighter,’” Milstead said. “I wanted to give it a tryout in Las Vegas, but I won’t have three professional fights, so that ruins my plans.”

To be eligible for tryouts, fighters must be at least 21 years old and have three professional fights on their resume.

The 25-year-old Milstead planned on fighting in the light heavyweight division, but with only two professional fights on his record, he is now ineligible for the competition.

While fighters can never fully regain opportunities like these, Kalikas promises to do what he can to

ensure the situation is rectified.

“We will go out of our way to get as many of these fighters rescheduled as soon as we can, even if it means juggling our schedule in Ohio to make it work,” Kalikas said.

Kalikas and the NAAFS have promised full re-

funds to those who have purchased tickets to the event. For ticketing inquiries, call the NAAFS ticket line at (330) 280-8442.

‘X Factor,’ ‘Voice’ clash sour music to Cowell LOS ANGELES (AP) — The stakes are high, the tactics are fierce and the rhetoric is heating up.

Obama versus Romney?

Nope. It’s the contest between “The Voice” and “The X Factor,” which escalated after NBC abruptly moved to pit its “Voice” against Wednesday’s second-season debut of Fox’s “X Factor.”

The two singing contests already faced a tussle over audience votes when NBC scheduled a fall cycle of “The Voice” after it proved itself as a solid spring performer.

Then, in a post-Labor Day srprise, an apparently mischievous NBC said it was expanding the show’s first week from Monday and Tuesday to include a third episode, which happens to air opposite the first hour of the “X Factor” bow at 8 -10 p.m. EDT Wednesday. Fox’s show also airs Thursday.

Suddenly, the battle of the talent shows is much more interesting.

Or make that infuriating, if you’re “X Factor” creator, executive producer and judge Simon Cowell.

Known for his creative critiques as an “American Idol” panelist (“You sound like a cat jumping off the Empire State Building”), he was simply blunt about NBC’s move.

Cowell took off the gloves when he told a teleconference last week that he was angry “because I think there’s a kind of gentleman’s agreement.”

The implication: Networks can slap each other around by putting dramas and comedies head-tohead, but a talent show is in a class of its own, like PBS’ “Downton Abbey” but with a record contract and hot modern blondes named Christina, Britney and Demi.

“I think it’s mean-spirited and I hope and I pray that it backfires on them, because it’s one of the best shows we’ve ever made,” Cowell said, adding that three consecutive nights of “Voice” is “too much” and viewers will choose “X Factor.”

“But I’ve learned, don’t make any predictions,” he said, tempering bravado with caution.

Season two represents a sophomore reboot for “X Factor,” which did well last season but failed to pull the 20 million viewers he’d grandly predicted.

Instead, it averaged about 12.6 million for its performance and results episodes, which Cowell saw as a “wake-up call” for how

to handle the U.S. version of his British hit. (“The Voice” averaged 15.9 million last season, with results shows coming in at 11.3 million.)

“I was a bit cocky,” he said in a recent interview.

“I was feeling bullish coming off the U.K. show. And I don’t think I really read the (American) market that well” and how a strong show could let “massive social network power” make it a hit.

So is “X Factor” sharper now that first-year judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul are out and Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are in? Also gone is host Steve Jones, to be replaced before live episodes begin in November by a likely male-female duo yet to be chosen (Kevin McHale of “Glee,” Kelly Osbourne and Khloe Kardashian are among the rumored candidates).

Yes, said Cowell, with the new judges and new producers making a difference.

“The show looks better and feels better than what we did a year ago. I can see an improvement. I’m happy with it,” he said.

Spears and Lovato are “doing great,” according to Cowell. “With Britney, everybody expects there’s going to be some kind of car crash with her. But it’s not. She’s very switched on, very focused. ... She has good taste and from working with her you can understand why she’s lasted so long in the industry.

“She totally understands the music business and understands the difference between a good singer and a potential star.”

As for Lovato, she’s a “revelation,” he said.

“She’s very smart, she’s a brat and that’s probably why I like her.”

Lovato, 20, also is “a very hot recording artist,” Cowell said, and one who’s closer to the age of the audience that Fox wants to attract, the young adults for whom sponsors pay higher ad rates.

All that optimism, and then came the decision by NBC that Cowell labels a “spoiling tactic.”

NBC declined to comment. “Voice” executive producer Mark Burnett, who told TMZ last week that he was unaware of his show’s added night and that it never occurred to him the two shows would compete, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

He’s not afraid of a little verbal hardball, however.

Recently, Burnett pointedly noted that there are

format changes for “The Voice,” but he’s sticking with original mentors Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine as long as they’re available— in obvious contrast to Cowell’s musical chairs.

“Truly we’ve gotten so close with all these guys, and it really has become like a family,” Burnett said, explaining why he opened his Malibu home for a “Voice” news conference.

“The X Factor” should be more concerned with postseason Major League Baseball preemptions as Fox airs the playoffs, said analyst Brad Adgate of media-buyer Horizon Media.

For “The Voice,” there’s competition to come from ABC’s popular “Dancing With the Stars” and the potential of overkill with two runs in a year, he said, while “American Idol” is still on and strong in part because Fox airs it once annually.

“Fox kind of protected it, and I don’t think NBC is doing that with `The Voice,’” he said. “I was kind of surprised they took one of the few bona fide hits on the network and are running the risk of viewer fatigue.”

The British versions of “Voice” and “X Factor,” which haven’t aired in direct competition, offer mixed signals on who might win the U.S. bout.

Last season, “The Voice” averaged 7.9 million U.K. viewers, with the finale drawing 7.1 million (Cowell had the satisfaction of seeing his “Britain’s Got Talent” outdraw it with 9.7 million). The current run of the British “X Factor” debuted in August with 8.7 million viewers compared with 11 million for the previous run and hasn’t seen ratings jump. But it remains by far the highestrated show on Saturday nights.

Perhaps Cowell might heed one TV analyst’s suggestion: Get over a “business as usual” chess move

by NBC. “It’s strategy. All the networks try to take advanDan Steinberg/AP tage of whatever special Television personality Simon Cowell poses on the red carpet at ‘The X Factor Finale’ show in Los Angeles. circumstances they can bring,” said Bill Carroll of media-buyer Katz Media.

“With Cowell, everything is terrible and outrageous: 2129 University Ave. Sunnyside `How could they do this to me?’ Well, they’re not doing it to him.”

“Shows get moved around. That’s just the nature of what happens,” Join the discussion.

Carroll said. “If `X Factor’ Follow us on Twitter at is going to be a draw it will be, no matter what it runs @dailyathenaeum. up against.”

Students walk past the Mountainlair last September on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Mark 9/11 with commitment to tolerance Today, we mark another anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks.

Eleven years have passed since thousands of our fellow citizens were tragically slaughtered and our nation was shaken to its core. There can be no denying that the harrowing attacks on Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and New York City transformed us as a country.

These attacks were part of a calculated assault on our sense of security, our economic prosperity and our unity.

But 11 years later, the terrorists have been unable to duplicate their success on 9/11, as their plots have been foiled time and time again. Their leader is dead, and their radical ideology has been rejected by the Muslim world. A new, gleaming World Trade Center, which will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere upon its completion, now fills the gaping void 9/11 left in New York City’s emblematic skyline.

So, it seems Al Qaeda failed to achieve most of its

goals. That’s right: Most, but not all.

Sadly, their attempt at sowing the seeds of divisiveness that undermine our pluralistic society has ,in many respects, been successful. This is perfectly illustrated by a recent FBI report that found hate crimes committed against Muslims in the U.S. are at their highest rate since 2001. A steady stream of headlines reporting these bigoted acts has consistently populated our news feeds for the past 11 years.

This troubling trend took an appalling turn last month when a neo-Nazi gunman massacred six worshipers at a Sikh temple. The shooter presumably targeted the Sikhs because of his inability to distinguish one group of brown, religious people from another.

The hateful sentiments that allegedly inspired this shooter are not as fringe as one might think. A recent poll found 57 percent of self-ascribed Republicans had an unfavorable view of Muslims. In another poll,

less than half of rural southerners said they would be “okay” with a mosque being built in their community.

These numbers are a disturbing rejection of the founding ideals of our country. There are millions of patriotic Americans who faithfully practice their Muslim faith while dutifully serving their country as congressmen, cancer researchers, teachers and soldiers. Dozens of Muslims, from businessmen to first responders, were among the victims of 9/11.

To discriminate against a group of people with close to two billion adherents based on the actions of a handful of extremists is antithetical to our founders’ commitment to tolerance and pluralism.

HTTP://ZEUSBOX.COM

Pop star Ke$ha, known for her sexually provocative lyrics, poses.

molly robinson guest columnist

Why do women have smaller feet than men? So they can stand closer to the kitchen sink. What do you call a woman who has lost 95 percent of her intelligence? Divorced. Bigamy is having one wife too many, but so is monogamy.

Everyone’s heard a “woman joke” before. And because I personally enjoy humor, I tend to scoff at those who say that these kinds of statements belittle women and discourage gender equality, which women have been working on for years now and are still striving toward. While I’ll never turn down telling a joke that finds humor in

DA THEDAONLINE.COM

the fairer sex, there really is an issue with gender equality. But it’s the women – not just the men – holding back the movement.

Imagine this scenario.

You’ve been out with your friends partying and meeting new people when a guy you just met asks you back to his place for the night.

You chalk it up to the “college experience” of a onenight stand and go with a person you’ve never met before and, after tonight, may never even see again.

And why shouldn’t you? You’re a smart, college-aged student who can make her own decisions. Besides, your male friends take girls home for the night, too, and it’s no big deal. The double standard is ridiculous, anyway.

But unfortunately, the

infamous “double standard” – ridiculous as it may be – is a very real thing.

It’s true that men can do this or that and not meet as harsh a judgement as women who do the same thing. It isn’t right, and it isn’t fair. But is having sex with a virtual stranger the best way to counteract this effect?

Waking up the next morning beside someone whose last name is a mystery to you isn’t empowerment. By having the same attitudes as more sexually willing men, women are inadvertently undervaluing themselves to their male counterparts.

So, while you may be thinking that having meaningless intimacy from time to time sets you on the same playing field as men,

it doesn’t, because in reality, all you’re doing is setting yourself up to be used by the very men you attempt to emulate.

And trust me, guys interested in hooking up with you for only a night couldn’t care less that you’re just as smart, funny or talented as they are.

And when he leaves after it’s over, ideas of respect and gender equality definitely aren’t going to be on his mind.

Unfortunately, having these types of relations seems to be the “cool” thing now. It’s almost a given you’ll see at least one girl in party attire making that “walk of shame” during your four years at WVU. The media only encourages this attitude. With Ke$ha lyrics like “I eat boys

up, breakfast and lunch” to the promiscuous character Samantha Jones from Sex and the City, women seem to be getting the green light to have these types of relationships.

Some may say these women are actually promoting gender equality by sleeping around “just like the guys,” but in reality, having casual sex doesn’t make women equal to men; it demeans them to something played with one night and tossed away the next morning.

Now, I’m not saying every girl who has had a onenight stand does it for the misguided belief of promoting feminism. The biological need to have sex is a completely understandable urge. But, even so, sleeping around to re-

lieve this desire doesn’t help your gender achieve equality, because most men (and a majority of other women) are going to think you’re a means to an end; you’re the hand that scratches the itch, nothing more or less than that.

So, the next time a new guy at the bar asks you to spend the night, don’t just brush it off as having a college experience or flipping the bird to the double standard. You’re only promoting the idea that women can be used for sexual gratification, not the idea that you deserve the same gratification in return.

If you keep agreeing to casual sex, you’re only setting your own gender back from the ideal, equal world women have been working toward for so long.

‘Lawless’ falls short of perfection nick wesdock A&e writer

Featuring an all-star cast, “Lawless� may be the summer’s last big hit.

The film ranked No. 2 behind “The Possession� in last weekend’s Labor Day box office totals and raked in more than $10 million.

The film was directed

by John Hillcoat, who has directed films such as “The Road� and “The Proposition.�

For the most part, Hillcoat stuck to his normal bloody, violent style, but he also included a small love story on the side. “Lawless� mixed the classic Western and gangster genres to create a solid flick, but it is not quite an instant classic.

Inspiration for the 1930s’ crime drama came from Matt Bondurant’s 2008 novel, “The Wettest County in the World,� which tells the true story of his family’s moonshining history in Franklin County, Va. In the movie, Forrest

www.bestofneworleans.com

‘Lawless’ ranked No. 2 at the box office last weekend.

Bondurant is the oldest of three bootlegging brothers and the leader of the family.

Middle brother Howard is a bit of a hothead, but he plays a lesser role in the film. Finally, youngest brother Jack plays a dynamic character who progresses throughout the story.

All the actors and actresses played their roles well, as expected with all the star power present throughout the cast.

Tom Hardy (“The Dark Knight Rises�) played Forrest Bondurant. It is hard to say if Hillcoat intended for Hardy’s role to be completely overbearing in the film, but it def-

initely was. Despite this, it was refreshing to see the role played with such dominance.

Maggie, the prostituteturned-lover who stole the heart of the eldest Bondurant brother, was played by fiery redhead Jessica Chastain. Her role in the movie adds something for the ladies in the

audience.

Jack was played by Shia LeBeouf. Some argued that casting LeBeouf for the role really takes away from a promising storyline, but I strongly disagree.

He progresses throughout the film, and it shows in the actions of his character. Jack is supposed to

“toughen up� and join the family business, and the young LeBeouf seems like the perfect actor for this character.

The big names keep coming with the appearance of Gary Oldman playing mobster Floyd Banner. Needless to say, Oldman did a fantastic job, although it was strange to see him toting a machine gun.

Though the movie was set in the Virginia countryside, it was actually shot in Georgia. From the scenery to the costumes to the authentic vintage cars and guns, this film was all about aesthetic allure. Anything the movie lacked in acting or storyline was made up for with the brilliant filming, making it a rewarding theater experience despite its flaws.

People love to root for the criminals when the lawmen are the bad guys, especially when it is based on a true story. “Lawlessâ€? embodied this, and while it may not be a movie for the ages, it is definitely worth seeing. ÂŤÂŤÂŤ daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

dal, lawlessness and Harley heaven— all set to a small town backdrop.

For those of you who are “Anarchy� virgins, the plot is basic enough, but the true nature of the show can only be entirely felt when watched in marathon format.

In case you don’t have a spare 240 hours on your hands, these are the essentials, with some spoilers: The “Sons of Anarchy,� the Great Britain of California biker gangs, believes in three things — brotherhood, motorcycles and an overall abhorrence for the legal system — and they’re all too willing to spite anyone who questions their power.

Founded by the late John Teller and Clay Morrow, the running of the club has been left to Morrow alone until John’s son, Jax, is fully ready to step up as president of the charter and take up the position his father once held and his stepfather currently

holds.

When the boys aren’t selling Irish guns transported from IRA contacts, their main source of income, they’re fighting off the latest government officials trying to shut down the club and the rival gangs looking to take over their ironically titled small town of Charming.

If Jax is the Prince William of the Sons of Anarchy, that makes Tara, a local pediatric surgeon, his Kate Middleton.

But when Tara starts threatening to unravel the very fibers that hold the club together, Clay attempts to have Tara killed and buried with her the secrets of the past she has been attempting to unearth.

In the final episode of season four, when Jax finds out about Clay’s rampage, it becomes apparent to Jax that the only way to stop Clay is to overthrow him from his seat at the head of the table. After being stripped of his patches,

Clay unwillingly hands down his position to Jax. “Few series have exploded onto the scene with such a rich array of potential stories and inherently interesting characters,� The San Francisco Chronicle said about “Sons of Anarchy.�

Although some critics do not agree with this view and argue the characters and plot have no depth and are unworthy of viewership, one could argue the “Sons’� fan following, as well as their now five-year run, speaks for itself.

Will Jax and Tara be able to hold the club together while legitimizing its business ventures and restoring it to John Teller’s true vision, or will the club crumble under the weight of new leadership? Are you interested in finding out? Season five premieres tonight on FX at 10 p.m. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Emma Watson’s new fantasy role TORONTO (AP) — Emma Watson is living out another fantasy — the life of a high school kid that she missed out on growing up in the Harry Potter fold.

For her first major film role since leaving the world of Potter behind, Watson chose “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,� in which she plays an American teen who’s part of a clique of hip outsiders at a Pittsburgh school.

The 22-year-old British actress said it gave her a taste of a whole different life, considering her cloistered upbringing on the set of the Potter franchise, in which she was cast as bookish young hero Hermione Granger at age 9. “It felt pretty exotic to me.

It really did. It was a very voyeuristic experience,� Watson said in an interview Sunday at the Toronto International Film Festival, where “Perks� played ahead of its U.S. theatrical release Sept.

21. “Getting to go to Friday night football and Olive Garden, school dances and all of that stuff. That was really another world to me.�

She’s rich and world-famous because of the eight “Harry Potter� films, and Watson shares Hermione’s

studiousness, spending a couple of years at Brown University years before launching into a busy post-�Potter� film schedule.

Yet for all the worldliness that comes with her Hollywood experience, Watson said that growing up in a bubble of celebrity has left her feeling like a kid when it comes to many things. “There are some parts of me that feel very old, and then there are other parts of me that are, like, I have a sense of my own arrested development,� Watson said. “There are some parts of me right now that are probably going through adolescence.�

Her work ethic is fairly grown-up, though. While attending Brown and working on last year’s “Harry Potter� finale, Watson squeezed in a small role in the Marilyn Monroe drama “My Week with Marilyn.�

After “Perks,� she costarred in Sofia Coppola’s 2013 release “The Bling Ring,� playing one of a group of celebrity-obsessed Los Angeles teens who burgle the homes of Hollywood stars. Watson also has a cameo role in Seth Rogen’s upcoming comedy “The End of the World,� playing a version of herself

alongside other stars coping with the apocalypse during a party at James Franco’s place.

Watson came to Toronto for the “Perks� premiere on a break from her next project, co-starring with Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Hopkins in director Darren Aronofsky’s biblical epic “Noah.� She heads back to work Tuesday on that film, which also features her “Perks� co-star Logan Lerman.

Adapted by director Stephen Chbosky from his own novel, “Perks� casts Lerman as a deeply troubled high school freshman who falls in with a crowd of smart, nurturing seniors dealing with plenty of issues of their own.

Watson’s Sam becomes his dream girl, an old soul with a dark past herself earlier in her teen years.

After a decade as Hermione, Watson aims to give “Harry Potter� fans a taste of what she can do outside the world of witches and wizards. “I hope what they can see is that I am able to transform, that there are other sides of me that perhaps they haven’t seen yet, and that they might allow me a little bit of room,�

Watson said.

Doug Walp sports writer

WVU benefits from canceling FSU game The Mountaineers were originally slated to face off against the No. 5 Florida State Seminoles at Doak Campell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla., Saturday, but West Virginia bought its way out of the highlyanticipated early season matchup in February during its migration to the Big 12 Conference.

College football enthusiasts nationwide were utterly disappointed, especially last weekend, when experts and spectators alike realized they were being deprived of a matchup between two of the nation’s top-10 teams.

But the Mountaineers’ decision to back out of their Sept. 8 meeting was a smart one, in my opinion, considering the ramifications a loss would have had on their 2012 national championship hopes.

Only one national champion in the last 20 years has more than one loss – LSU in 2007.

That’s not to say the Mountaineers couldn’t have beaten the Seminoles Saturday, but with the prestige of the teams in the Big 12 this year, the Mountaineers may already have a prestigious enough schedule to earn a BCS at-large bid, assuming they don’t win the conference crown.

Granted, any of these hopes are far from being realized this early in the year, but numerous experts have already pegged the Mountaineers as an early dark horse to make a run at this year’s title. Traveling to Tallahassee in the second week of the season to face a national powerhouse in the Seminoles would have been an extremely challenging task, at best.

The Mountaineers did look impressive in their season debut against Marshall, as Geno Smith and the offense certainly didn’t have any issues moving the ball en route to the highest-scoring season opener in school history. But a number of defensive and special teams gaffes showed that West Virginia had some areas to improve heading into their bye week.

Had West Virginia not cancelled the Florida State game, they would have been under immense pressure to put a much more polished final product on the field just a week after their season debut, in order to ultimately keep their hopes of a national championship alive.

Instead, they’ll benefit from an extra week of practice and time to evaluate which plays and personnel were most effective in the Friends of Coal Bowl. And although a second-week bye isn’t necessarily the most ideal time for an off-week, considering there is only one game’s worth of film to take in and with which to make adjustments, I don’t think there is any danger of the team losing its positive momentum during their early bye.

Admittedly, Holgorsen probably won’t be able to learn as much about his team during the extra week of self-reflection and evaluation as he would with a tough road test at one of the top FBS programs in the country, but there obviously won’t be nearly as much on the line.

Therefore, instead of putting a number of somewhat untested underclassmen on the field in a secondweek game that could play a huge role in the outcome of the rest of the season, true freshmen starters like Karl Joseph and Jordan Thompson will benefit from a bye week, an FCS opponent and a depleted Maryland team in order to prepare for the daunting burden of conference play that opens Sept.

‘NO BETTER FEELING’

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Former West Virginia forward Kevin Jones signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday. He was the only player in the nation to average 20 points and 10 rebounds per game last season.

Former WVU forward Kevin Jones signs three-year deal with Cavaliers by michael carvelli sports editor

Kevin Jones sat in the Green Room of the Prudential Center waiting for his name to be called in the NBA draft.

The night that was supposed to be one of the best of the Mount Vernon, N.Y., native’s life hadn’t gone according to plan; after waiting for more than four hours and 60 picks, he wasn’t chosen.

“It was definitely really frustrating and embarrassing because I had my family there with me,” Jones told The Daily Athenaeum Monday.

“There’s nothing that’s guaranteed.

You’ve got to work for everything, and it’s just another part of my life where I have to work for what I have again.

“I’m used to it, I’m used to doing that, I’m used to having people overlook me. It’s nothing new to me.”

Jones will have the chance to prove himself in the NBA next season, though. He signed a $2.2 million three-year, partially guaranteed deal with the Cleveland

Cavaliers as an undrafted free agent Monday. He’ll earn $50,000 just for signing the contract and is expected to make $450,000 in his rookie season if he makes the team.

“It’s definitely great to get paid for doing what you love. There’s no better feeling than that,” Jones said.

“I don’t even consider it a job because I love playing basketball so much.

“There’s absolutely nothing I would trade for this.”

The 6-foot-8 forward agreed to join the Cavaliers’ summer league team, but couldn’t participate due to a foot injury he suffered in predraft workouts.

Cleveland’s effort to stick with him through his injury was a sign to Jones that it might be the right place for him to be.

“It made me feel a lot better because they didn’t have to do that,” Jones said. “It goes to show what hard work can do because they’ve seen me work hard in college and they know what I’m capable of when I’m healthy. I couldn’t ask for more than that.”

Prior to the draft, Jones and

his agent Bill Neff were told by an NBA team that they would select him with a pick at the end of the first round or early in the second round. It was another example that the NBA is a business with many people whose word cannot always be trusted.

But for some reason, there was no uncertainty when the Cavaliers said they were going to sign Jones.

“I’m not always comfortable dealing with some teams, but the people in Cleveland were very honorable, and it made us think they were sincere,” Neff said. “They wanted to go about things a certain way, and we took them for their word. Even when he went down there and he was hurt, they still wanted him.”

Jones has a simple mission now that the contract has been signed.

He just wants to get back out on the floor and prove he deserves to be in the NBA. “I already play with a little bit of a chip on my shoulder anyway, but (going undrafted) will definitely serve as extra motivation,” Jones said. “I don’t want to just prove

those teams wrong, though; I want to prove the Cavaliers right.

“I want to show them that they made a good decision to take a chance on me when nobody else would.”

If he goes through training camp and makes the roster for the Cavaliers, Jones will have the chance to make his childhood dream come true.

He admits it wasn’t an easy road to get here, and obviously there were a few disappointments along the way, but he’s ready to show he has what it takes.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do ever since I started playing basketball, just to get to experience that moment of playing in the NBA,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll have some butterflies at first, but once I’m out there for a few minutes, they’ll be gone, and I’ll continue to keep playing the way I always have.

“I still have a long road ahead of me before that happens, though, so I have to keep working hard to get there and be a successful player.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Holgorsen knows JMU will be a test for WVU

By Greg Madia multimedia editor

Just two weeks into the college football season, six FCS schools have upset FBS schools.

This past weekend alone, Sacramento State knocked off Colorado, North Dakota State took down Colorado State and Northern Arizona beat UNLV. WVU Head Coach Dana Holgorsen is well aware of the possibilities in West Virginia’s game against James Madison at Fed Ex Field this weekend. “ Ja m e s Ma d i s o n , they’re sound. They’re a good ball club. Mickey Matthews has been there 14 years now and has built one of the top 1-AA programs in the country,” Holgorsen said during Monday’s Big 12 Conference teleconference.

Two seasons ago, the JMU Dukes went into Blacksburg and upended then-No. 13 Virginia Tech.

Three years ago, JMU came within three points of knocking off Maryland. James Madison has taken on multiple big-time FBS opponents since 2003.

This year the No. 5 (FCS) Dukes boast an offense that has outscored its opponents 9710 in its first two games.

Holgorsen understands WVU cannot allow James Madison’s skill players to beat them.

“Offensively, they’ve got a good one-two threat, w ith their quarterback, ( Ju s tin) Thorpe, and running back, (Dae’Quan) Scott. They’ve had two tremendous games to start the season,” Holgorsen said. “They want

those guys to touch the ball a lot. They want to control the ball and run the ball.”

James Madison quarterback Justin Thorpe and running back Dae’Quan Scott have accounted for more than half of the Dukes’ rushing game with 357 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns between them. Holgorsen knows it will be a tough game for a West Virginia defense that struggled to tackle during the first game of the season against Marshall.

“It’ll definitely be a challenge for us,” Holgorsen added. “They play with a tremendous amount of effort.”

JMU is certainly not

West Virginia’s toughest opponent, but the Mountaineers aren’t taking any chances.

“We’re going to start building it up this week,” Holgorsen said.

“We’re going to take them every bit as serious as we took Marshall and every bit as serious as we’ll take Maryland the next week.”

Going into Saturday’s game with the Dukes, West Virginia has a 12game winning streak against FCS opponents.

The last time WVU played James Madison was in 2004, when WVU ran away with a 45-10 victory. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU fans providing spark Mountaineers set to

take on Robert Morris

By Amit Batra Sports writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team is used to winning at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

WVU is undefeated at home so far this season.

Wins over Hartford, Stetson and Oakland have proven that this team is just as rejuvenated when it plays at home as it is when it goes against highly ranked opponents such as UNC and Wake Forest.

Help from the Mountaineer faithful has definitely brought the soccer team an extra boost of energy when needed.

West Virginia faced four different teams in less than nine days. Now, with an extra bit of rest and a home stretch, the Mountaineers can see themselves racking up some wins.

“Being at home is only an impact if fans show up,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “If fans don’t come, then it’s not an advantage for the home or away team.”

That may be true, but it doesn’t hurt that the Mountaineers don’t have to deal with traveling until the Sept. 29 conference game at Western Michigan.

WVU is home for the next six out of seven games. That will ensure extra rest for the conference games against Florida Atlantic, Western Michigan, Buffalo and Hartwick.

When the Mountaineers play at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, they want to give the fans a treat. So far they have done just that while outscoring opponents 8-4.

Even with an impressive home record, the Mountaineers’ most intriguing part of the season came against top-ranked North Carolina, No. 15 Wake Forest and Penn State.

“We played against some of the best teams in America,” LeBlanc said. “When you put into perspective

The West Virginia men’s soccer team is undefeated at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this season. the games we’ve played and who we’ve played, it’s tough.”

The Mountaineers home stretch will give them time to focus on teams in a more in-depth way. In the early road trip, West Virginia had to travel to Chapel Hill, N.C., Winston-Salem, N.C., and University Park, Pa., in a matter of days.

While WVU is 3-0-0 at home thus far, it still has had trouble with defensive issues and finishing opportunities. But at the end of the day, the result will be the only important outcome.

Through fan support,

West Virginia goes from a very good team to a great one. It has had wins against the best at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Last season, the Mountaineers beat No. 1 Connecticut at home.

WVU will use the home stretch to carry some momentum going into the middle part of the season and into conference play.

This team could do very well during this stretch considering how things have gone early on in the season.

WVU is that much better at home in front of a loud and strong crowd. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia Mountaineer volleyball team will hit the road Tuesday to meet Robert Morris in a midweek matchup of non-conference teams.

The Mountaineers will look to continue building off their performance in this past weekend’s Golden Horseshoe Challenge, in which WVU went 3-0 after losing to Maryland-Eastern Shore to open the tournament.

West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer will have a challenge preparing her Mountaineer women for the match, as her practice schedule will be abbreviated to only one practice Monday afternoon.

“We will be working on serving and passing and some stuff like that on Monday,” Kramer said.

“We can’t really have them hitting the ball and really swinging with the game on Tuesday.”

Kramer also made it clear the team still has room to improve, despite excellent serving over the course of the weekend tournament in which the team doubled its season total of both aces and wins in the four matches.

“We’re getting there, definitely getting there,” Kramer said. “But, I mean, you saw it today.

Every time we had an ace, we hit one into the net, and that isn’t helping.

We’ll be working more on that throughout the season. Things haven’t really changed; we still have the same game plan we did at the start of the season.”

Kramer’s Mountaineers improved to 6-5 after the 3-1 weekend and managed

Head coach Jill Kramer and the West Virginia women’s volleyball team travels to Robert Morris Tuesday. to hit much better, with a the Peacocks of St. Peter’s. .337 percentage against In addition to the improvements on offense, Kramer has tweaked the lineup, and the results showed at the net and in the digs column. Freshman Anna Panagiotakopoulos has moved to the libero position, and in her five starts, she has only one game in which she has not accumulated doubledigit digs.

“I’m kind of home with this,” Panagiotakopoulos said. “I haven’t played this position since like the 8th grade. It took a little getting used to, but I’m comfortable here.”

At the net, WVU has received helped from its battery of freshmen and transfer student Evyn McCoy. McCoy, alongside Caleah Wells, combined to amass 13 blocks as a team in their final three matches this past weekend.

For Robert Morris the challenge will be to break the newfound confidence this young Mountaineer squad has seemed to find in recent days.

Robert Morris will also look for help from their senior kills leader Lindsey Monger, who has 127 kills in 11 games for the Colonials. Monger will have her work cut out for her against WVU’s Wells, as Wells not only leads the team in blocking but also holds the highest hit percentage for the Mountaineers at a .340 clip thus far this season.

The key for the Mountaineers moving forward will be to manage their errors and continue to dominate the game with serving and strong hits from their attacking players. In the past few games, several players have stepped up to challenge freshman outside hitter Hannah Sackett for her team kills lead of 121; Evyn McCoy is now hot on her heels hitting .275 with 83 kills.

Brittany Sample has done a fantastic job setting the Mountaineers up to score thus far this season with her 366 assists, and she has not shown any signs of slowing down as she quickly approaches the 1,000-assist mark with the season nowhere near the halfway mark.

Game time for the Mountaineers is 7pm at Robert Morris Tuesday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Bailey overlooked despite impressive performances

By Nick Arthur

associate sports editor

Stedman Bailey is putting together quite the illustrious career in a West Virginia uniform.

But, no one seems to realize.

The junior wide receiver ranks in the top 15 in school history in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, after just 27 career games.

The fact Bailey has to line up alongside preseason All-Americans in seniors Geno Smith and Tavon Austin makes exposure difficult for the Miramar, Fla., native.

In the Mountaineers’ season-opening tilt against Marshall Sept. 1, Bailey, yet again, casually led the team in receptions – nine of them for 104 yards and two touchdowns.

However, Bailey again seems to be overlooked by the fans and media despite the fact that he is attracting a lot of attention from opposing defenses.

“I would say I had a quiet 100-yard game,” Bailey said after Marshall’s defeat. “There were a couple times where the safety and the corner were trying to bracket me. That’s something that I expect. I

was still able to make some plays here and there.”

Bailey is just five receiving touchdowns away from the school record in a career. And he now has a touchdown reception in 12 of his last 15 games.

So, why was this another “quiet” game?

“I really don’t know,” Bailey said. “I always expect myself to get at least 100 yards every game. I just feel like it was a quiet one, except for the touchdown, of course.”

Bailey set the school record last season for consecutive games with at least 100 receiving yards with five and set the school record for receiving yards in a single season with 1,279.

Despite all the accolades, does Bailey ever feel overshadowed from seniors Smith and Austin?

“Not necessarily. We all came in together,” Bailey said. “I just had a certain issue for a while and got redshirted my freshman year. I like to look at myself as a senior, too. I try to help lead the team and be vocal.

I don’t necessarily feel lost in the shuffle.”

As he alluded, Bailey redshirted his freshman season while Smith and

Austin did not.

The extra year of exposure for Smith and Austin may be one of the reasons no one seems to realize the statistics the talented junior wide receiver is posting.

“I understand those guys’ names are probably talked about more than me. But I’m not worried about that,” Bailey said.

“I just want to go out and play my game and prove people wrong. If they’re doubting me, I just want to continue to do well and create success for myself.”

Assuming he avoids injury and maintains his recent level of play, Bailey should be in position to break many school career records this season, let alone what can happen during Bailey’s senior campaign.

He realizes critics will always linger, but Bailey isn’t worried about that.

It obviously hasn’t bothered the underappreciated receiver at this point.

“I’m not necessarily worried about what the critics say,” Bailey said. “I just go out there, play my game and let everything fall into place.”

West Virginia junior wide receiver Stedman Bailey is just five touchdown receptions from setting the program’s career record.

Tennis

WVU competitive in UNC-Wilmington Invitational

By Robert kreis Sports writer

Head coach Tina Samara and the West Virginia tennis team competed in the UNC-Wilmington Invitational Sunday.

Matt Sunday/The Daily Athenaeum

Opening their season at the UNC-Wilmington Invitational for the second consecutive year, the young West Virginia women’s tennis team showed skill enough to be competitive, despite their inexperience.

After a solid day one for the Mountaineers, West Virginia rolled with the momentum into day two.

The five Mountaineers who made the trip to Wilmington, N.C., competed in a total of nine matches Satur-

day, winning seven.

Leading the charge for the Mountaineers in those wins was freshman Vivian Tsui.

Out of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Tsui earned two singles victories Saturday, one of which came against the tournament’s No. 1 seed, Larn McShane of East Tennessee State, 6-4 and 6-4. Before Tsui made quick work of McShane, the young Mountaineer beat Chanel Bell of Charleston Southern 4-6, 6-4 and 7-5.

Tsui also saw success on the doubles court while teaming up with fellow freshman Irinka Toidze. The rookie duo earned their second doubles win of the tournament Saturday as they beat Scottie French and Sara Hodges of the host school, UNC-Wilmington, 8-4.

Toidze also shined in singles on day two and won her only match over UNC-Wilmington’s Sara Hodges 6-0 and 6-3.

Toidze was not able to continue her momentum on the singles court when day three came. Toidze, ranked No. 2 in the women’s singles D flight, lost her only match of the day to Bell 6-7, 6-3 and 10-8. It was Toidze’s second loss of the weekend.

Tsui was another Mountaineer who fell in a tough singles match Sunday morning.

In the D flight championship match, Tsui lost to Hamilton Lovett of UNC-Wilmington.

One of the few veterans on the tennis team, sophomore Ikttesh Cahal lost her only match of the day to another UNC-Wilmington opponent.

While most Mountaineers struggled in day three, transfer senior Audrey Wooland was able to pull off a victory on the final day of competition. After sitting out a year, Wooland, who played for current WVU head coach Tina Samara at Louisiana-Lafayette, grinded to a victory over Kolouva of Eastern Tennessee State in three sets, 4-6, 6-4 and (10-5).

While day three was not as successful as the first two days of the UNC-Wilmington Invitational, the Mountaineers certainly looked better than in previous years. There is no doubt the West Virginia women’s tennis team is young, but early in the season, it looks like at least the talent is there to compete this year. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
