Univ. receives $34 million donation College of Engineering renamed after alumnus Ben Statler

by mike atkinson staff writer

A record-breaking $34 million donation to the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources was announced

by West Virginia University President James P. Clements Thursday.

Benjamin M. Statler and his wife, Jo Statler, have pledged the largest single donation in University history to

the college, and WVU has renamed it the “Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources” in honor of the philanthropic businessman and alumnus.

“This gift is the single largest gift ever committed to the university and to a college,” Clements said. “In addition, $11 million of the donation will qualify for a match from the state’s research trust fund, bringing the total value of this

amazing gift to $45 million.”

Ben and Jo, Monongalia county natives, have supported several other University initiatives throughout the years, including the new Erickson Alumni Center building, the comprehensive breast cancer program offered through the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, the basketball practice facility and other capital athletic improvements.

Eugene V. Cilento, dean of the CEMR, said the impact of the gift is like experiencing a football victory in the national championship every day of the year.

“Words alone cannot express the impact this gift will have on transforming engineering education and research at this university,” Cilento said.

He said the gift will be used to establish the Statler’s

Scholars Program, which will provide scholarships to the best engineering undergraduates, and enrich student education experiences through the Statler’s Graduate Fellowship Program and other research opportunities.

The donation will also create three endowed chairs with a focus in energy and support the construction of the new

New campus a bus for a buck smoking policy expected in spring by lydia nuzum

associate city editor

An update to the current West Virginia University smoking policy is expected to occur within the 2012 spring semester.

The current policy, adopted in 1990, bans smoking from University buildings, with special accommodations for residence halls. The WVU smoking task force, appointed by WVU President James P. Clements, issued recommendations to Clements in April 2010 to consider a more restrictive smoking policy on campus.

“I do not know the exact timetable on when this policy will be sent to the Board of Governors, but my sense is that it will happen soon,” said C.B. Wilson, WVU associate provost and head of the smoking task force.

“That is, certainly sometime this semester, it will go to the board.

Wilson said there will be a period of consideration after the 30-day comment period in which the University will review the public’s comments.

The proposed policy will be published online during the 30-day comment period.

Clements announced during a faculty senate meeting Monday the University was

close to announcing a revised smoking policy to the WVU Board of Governors.

Wilson said the president requested the WVU Office of Legal Affairs and the Office of Administration and Finance review the recommendation by the task force.

Representatives of the two offices are set to offer their feedback to Clements during January.

“The task force agreed not to discuss the exact detail of the recommendations to give the president some latitude to decide which recommendations to accept,” Wilson said.

The areas of consideration forwarded by the task force include an outline of areas for a smoke-free campus, the development of a written policy to be considered by the BOG, education and signage of any new policy procedures, the expansion of cessation programs, considerations for the policy during special campus events, the consideration of residence halls and employee groups and the creation of a culture of compliance.

“We sense that sometime in the spring semester there will be a policy put out for public comment from the board of governors,” said

Young voters propelling Ron Paul’s pres. campaign MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A 76-year-old great-grandfather who gives eye-glazing speeches on monetary policy, displays a crotchety streak and disappears from the Republican campaign trail for days at a time to rest is captivating young voters.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul’s libertarian message of less government, personal liberty and ending U.S. military involvement overseas clicks with young people, who are supplying zest for his stronger-thanexpected presidential campaign. Nearly half of all voters under 30 went for Paul in the first two states to vote, helping to propel him to a secondplace finish in the New Hampshire primary and third place in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses.

Why would young people

“It’s incredibly easy to book and to purchase.”

Chamberlain said customers should book early to secure $1 fares. Fares always start as low as $1, and get higher as the traveling date approaches.

“Megabus.com has rapidly become the travel option of choice for millions of people, and we’re excited to expand our route offerings to Morgantown,” said Dale Moser, president and COO of Megabus.

A tickled Paul told the cheering crowd: “Freedom is a wonderful idea, and that’s why I get so excited. But I really get excited when I see young people saying it.”

“We are dangerous to the status quo of this country,” said Paul, who seems to relish making political mischief and has taken on the role of a feisty attacker in some of the GOP debates.

While Paul is unlikely to win the GOP nomination and young voters make up a relatively small slice of the electorate – 12 percent in the New Hampshire primary and 15 percent in the Iowa caucuses – their lopsided support has made Paul a force to be reckoned with in the 2012 campaign. And it could prompt a more serious consideration of

gravitate to the oldest guy in the field?

“Freedom is a young idea,” says Eddie Clearwater, a 22-year-old Des Moines photographer who attended a Ron Paul party in Ankeny, Iowa, earlier this month. “All of his policies are such a good, radical change. It’s what we need.”

Paul’s campaign events are charged with an energy that any politician would love, attracting an eclectic band of youthful activists ranging from preppy college students to blue collar workers to artists sporting piercings and dreadlocks. At his party after the New Hampshire primary, there were spontaneous chants of “Ron Paul Revolution! Give us back our Constitution” and “President Paul!

President Paul!” com. “As Americans continue to look for ways to stretch their income, we look forward to providing safe, convenient and affordable travel to Morgantown-area residents.”

Megabus.com is a Coach USA company that launched in 2006. It serves as one of the largest intercity express bus service providers in North America. The company also offers its customers stateof-the-art, environmentally friendly double-decker buses with free Wi-Fi, power outlets, seatbelts and restrooms.

“This service is also beneficial to the environment,” Chaimberlain said. “Because of the prices, more people may

choose a bus as their transportation as opposed to individual cars, which is a really good way to avoid leaving a carbon footprint.”

Chamberlain said the target customer age group is 18-29 years old. She said the company is committed to offering the lowest prices to its customers.

“This allows us to take our high-quality services to a whole new market and offer the cheapest prices out there, – guaranteed.”

his views by Republicans and Democrats alike.

“Ron Paul is bringing unorthodox ideas to the marketplace that don’t fit with the conventional pillars of either political party,” said Matthew Segal of OurTime.org, a nonpartisan group that promotes political participation among young people. “And because young people today are a uniquely independentminded generation, he’s resonating with them.”

According to polling-place interviews conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks, 53 percent of under-30 voters in New Hampshire and 35 percent in Iowa identified as independents or something else. They are not establishment Republicans, and not as supportive of the

tea party movement as their elders.

Paul’s critics sometimes poke fun at his popularity with that age group, suggesting they are mainly attracted to his antiwar message and support for liberalizing drug laws, which are both far outside the Republican mainstream.

But the stereotypes belie the reality facing young people.

Polling-place interviews in New Hampshire and Iowa found younger voters in both states were just as likely as older voters to cite the economy as their top concern. Paul won among younger voters who said the economy is the most important issue. Overall, he drew 46 percent of under-30 voters in New Hampshire, beating front-runner Mitt Romney by a full 20 percentage points in

Lawmakers weigh $1B bond for roads CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia could complete 19 shelved road and bridge projects all around the state if voters approve a bond amendment to borrow $1 billion, Transportation Secretary Paul Mattox told legislators Thursday.

Addressing a joint meeting of the House and Senate transportation committees, Mattox said the list includes sections of U.S. 35 in Mason County, the Coalfields Expressway in Wyoming County, the King Coal Highway in Mercer County, and the Tolsia Highway in Wayne County. Mattox said the delayed projects also include a new Ohio River bridge at Wellsburg, finishing a segment of Meadowbrook Road in Harrison County and completing a Berkeley Springs bypass in Morgan County.

“Expediting these projects will create more highway construction jobs, strengthen our economy and allow the opportunity for economic development adjacent to these projects,” Mattox told lawmakers. “It’s an investment, or it would be an investment.”

Mattox added that a $1.5 billion road bond amendment would fund those projects as well as finish Corridor H in eight years. Work on that highway to connect Interstate 79 to Virginia has started and stopped over the last several decades. Officials currently don’t expect to finish it un-

The

til 2035.

But he also said that the state would need to pay $65 million to $70 million annually for 30 years to pay off a $1 billion bond. While expressing support for funding roads this way, committee members questioned where that money would come from.

So does Mattox’s boss, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, who does not plan to propose a bond issue this session, spokeswoman Kimberly Osborne said Thursday. She noted that Tomblin has proposed creating a new fund, fueled by future surplus revenues, for roads and other infrastructure.

Senate Minority Leader Mike Hall noted that lawmakers tried to increase road funding last year by hiking an array of Division of Motor Vehicle fees. Tomblin vetoed that measure; Mattox said that was for lack of a detailed plan for spending the resulting revenues, but that his department has been working with the governor to develop such a plan.

“We need some real political muscle here, to look at the public of the state of West Virginia and say, ‘We really need you to own the problem, because your legislators have to step up and make some tough votes if we’re going to fund the types of ideas that I’ve heard here today,” Hall said.

that age group. In Iowa, he got 48 percent of the youth vote, 12 points higher than top-two-finishers Romney and Rick Santorum combined.

In interviews, Paul’s young supporters say they fear a bleak future of joblessness, steep college loan payments, pandering politicians and a government made sluggish by debt. Paul’s pledge to adhere to the Constitution and shrink government appeals to many young voters looking to get back to basics, as does his promise to focus on problems at home.

West Virginia’s Constitution sets tight limits on state debt, requiring voters to approve financing bonds. They have agreed to at least seven road bond amendments since 1920, including in 1996.

The State Road Fund otherwise provides the money for highway needs. It relies on such related revenue sources as taxes on fuel and vehicle sales and on registration fees.

But West Virginia University economist Tom Witt, who has long studied the issue, reminded the committees that the buying power from these revenue sources continues to decline.

Director of WVU’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research, Witt said motorists are actually paying less in gas taxes than they did a decade ago.

Fuel efficiency continues to improve, while gas prices and the recession have led to fewer miles driven. Then there are vehicles that run on electricity, natural gas or other sources not taxed for the road fund, he noted.

“We’re going to be seeing these more and more of these alternative fuel vehicles on our highways, on our bridges, contributing to the wear and tear and they’re not going to be paying their fair share,” Witt said.

MLK’s inspiration shaped modern America Racial turbulence has been a major dilemma throughout U.S. history. Even though our forefathers wrote in the Constitution that “all men are created equal,” governing policies have contradicted those words for the majority of America’s existence.

Many figures fought for equality and civil rights, but few made an impact rivaling that of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday will mark the 26th

year the U.S. has observed King’s contributions to equality and social understanding.

Although it was petitioned shortly after King’s death in 1968, the first day of national observance was not until Jan. 20, 1986.

From that day forth, the third Monday in January has been honored as Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The day should not be thought of as just a day off of schoolwork and other respon-

sibilities, but should be a day to appreciate all that King did for the benefit of mankind.

While racial issues are still prevalent, today’s generation of college students tend to take for granted the social and economic advances we as a nation have overcome.

Because of the dedication and courage of King, all citizens can truly be free to pursue happiness, as the Constitution promised 236 years ago.

It is unfair to countless of

others who fought for civil rights in America to say that King is solely responsible for equality, but none promoted equality through love and peace as King did.

Without his guidance, the civil rights movement may not have happened when it did, nor would we have experienced the amount of progress we have seen in the past 40 years.

His motivations were aimed toward showing the nation the

wrongs and injustices done toward millions of American citizens everyday and how it was crucial for the movement to rise above and not act violently.

His eternal inspiration has become one of the symbols of American freedom. Americans of all ethnic backgrounds should take the time to honor all that King has done for our country.

Government subsidy programs thwart consumers’ wishes garrett hunter columnist

Well done, fellow taxpayer.

I want to commend you for your progressive-minded support of today’s environmentally friendly green technology. Thanks to you, the United States is well on its way to a cleaner, brighter future.

Now, you may claim that you aren’t really concerned about the development of wind energy or electric cars, but I know you’re just being modest. After all, quite a bit of your money has been used to fund these initiatives.

Take the Chevy Volt, General Motors’ celebrated plug-in car for instance. According to the Mackinac Center, a Michiganbased policy think tank, each of the 6,000 Volts GM sold by December 2011 received between $50,000 and $250,000 in government subsidies. Given that the Volt retails for only $40,000, it seems the electric vehicle is getting quite a bit of help from you, the taxpayer. Kudos!

Fortunately for the planet, your support doesn’t stop there.

In fact, the Institute for Energy Research found that from fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2010, federal subsidies for renewable energy jumped from $5.1 billion to $14.7 billion – a 186 percent increase.

Curiously, it seems you’re also a fan of fossil fuels. Over the same three year period, federal subsidies for coal increased 44 percent; oil and natural gas subsidies increased 40 percent.

You obviously understand the importance of increasing domestic energy production and ending the United States’ dependence on foreign oil. Bravo!

In all seriousness, if these policies seem contradictory and nonsensical, it’s because they are. They also offer an important lesson about how governments spend tax dollars.

www.geekistry.com

The 2012 Chevy Volt.

As a 2011 report by the Congressional Research Service points out, “energy tax policy in the United States is made in a political setting, determined by fiscal dictates and the views and interests of the key players in this setting, including policymakers, special interest groups, and academic scholars.” Noticeably absent from this list of key players are taxpayers – the people whose money is being spent.

You may not have the slightest interest in the rise of green energy. You may even have a vested interest in its decline.

Too bad – if you pay federal in-

come taxes, your money supports green energy. Likewise, you may oppose the continued extraction of oil, natural gas and coal. Again, too bad.

If such subsidies applied only to energy production, their effects on the economy would be destructive enough. Unfortunately, these programs are only a drop in Washington’s subsidy bucket. In January 2010, the total number of federal subsidy programs in the U.S. surpassed 2,000, with 350 new programs created since 2005.

This growth of federal intervention into the American economy is dangerous for a va-

WVU offers stalking prevention methods for students Sgt. peggy runyon University Police Dept.

January is National Stalking Awareness Month and West Virginia University Police have taken steps to help prevent the occurrence of these crimes on campus.

WVU Police offer stalking prevention kits to distribute to victims which include: a log book and ink pen, disposable camera and gloves, pepper spray, flash light, whistle and extra batteries.

The police carry these kits in their cruisers and keep a stock in their office.

Kits are distributed to students who express interest, and instructions are given as to how each item should be used.

Students are also welcome to attend P.R.O.T.E.C.T., a free selfdefense class for females who want to develop the physical skills and a mind-set to defend themselves.

victims and criminal justice professionals underestimate its impact.

In one of five cases, stalkers use weapons to harm or threaten victims, and stalking is one of the significant risk factors for femicide (homicide of women) in abusive relationships.

A high percentage of stalking is experienced in the age group of 18-24. However, stalking is difficult to recognize, investigate and prosecute.

Unlike other crimes, stalking is not a single, easily identifiable crime but a series of acts – a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause that person fear.

Stalking may take many forms, such as assaults, threats, vandalism, burglary or animal abuse, as well as unwanted cards, calls, gifts or visits.

One in four victims report a stalker using technology, such as computers, global positioning system devices or hidden cameras, to track the victim’s daily activities.

University Police emphasizes

the importance of keeping personal information such as addresses, phone numbers and birthdays off social networking sites.

Seventy-eight percent of stalkers use more than one means of stalking; two-thirds pursue their victims at least once a week and many do so daily.

Stalking can affect a victim’s emotional, physical and economic well-being.

Victims of stalking are encouraged to report incidents to the police.

Police will encourage victims to keep a log of all the stalking behavior including any emails, text messages, notes left on vehicles or apartment doors and phone messages.

Find out the description of stalking in the state of West Virginia here.

riety of reasons. At their core, subsidy programs seek to artificially shape the economy to suit their advocates’ particular interests.

By their very nature, subsidy programs attempt to take an unprofitable activity and make it seem profitable. Therefore, whenever congressmen or special interest leaders seek a subsidy for a certain activity, they’re effectively acknowledging that the activity makes no economic sense.

The Chevy Volt and other electric cars demonstrate this point brilliantly. Without massive help from the federal government and various state governments, these vehicles would carry an enormous price tag, and few people would buy them.

Even now, Volt sales have failed to meet expectations, and GM has admitted it won’t know how much market demand ex-

ists for the car until summer.

Green energy fans no doubt support even more subsidization of the Volt and similar initiatives, but these actions miss the point. The fact that these initiatives could not survive in a free market clearly shows that the funds devoted to them would be better spent elsewhere. The same goes for subsidies to oil, coal, agriculture, education and any other pet project a legislator may have.

The most dangerous aspect of these programs is that they distort prices and incentives throughout an economy that, for reasons I can’t figure out, is still referred to as “capitalist.” I assure you the modern American economy is not a capitalist system, at least not in the proper sense of the term.

Any problems it experiences cannot logically be blamed on the free market any more than they can be blamed on the fed-

eral Politburo.

Today’s American system is one of corporatism, in which special interests lobby for and receive undue protection and support from the government.

This system does an immense disservice to everyday Americans, who are forced to fund services they don’t like and to choose among products that exist not because of their economic value, but because of their manufacturers’ political clout.

The most just and sensible way to determine what kinds of cars should be produced, energy resources exploited, or crops grown is to reign in these unwieldy subsidy programs and allow markets to work.

Doing so will take power away from government kingmakers and return it to consumers, who ultimately reign supreme in a free market economy.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY You are very energetic this year. Foreigners, higher education and a willingness to grow mark the next 12 months. A foreigner also could play a significant role, and/or you could travel, making a long-desired trip. Communication flourishes. Often you seem to know who is calling before you even pick up the phone.

If you are single, you will put yourself out there more, increasing your chances of meeting Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, this year presents many different opportunities to become even closer.

Don’t worry about an occasional quarrel.

VIRGO points to greater intellectualism.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Being detail-oriented is excellent, but don’t get so involved that you lose sight of your major interest and direction. Discussions within your circle of friends help solidify ideas and encourage opening up to yet another view. Tonight: Easy works.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Consider testing the waters before you leap in.

You might feel or hope a situation or person is one way, only to discover just the opposite or find some tragic flaw weaving into the scenario. The Bull is known for its patience. Use that quality with good timing. Resist a snap judgment. Tonight: Let your hair down.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Consider what is going on behind the scenes or with an important friend or loved one.

A thread of what is hidden is about to rear its ugly head. Though you might not want this information, do use it and discover

the power of reality. Drop the rose-colored glasses. Tonight: Invite a friend to join you.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Start moving in a new direction. You could be baffled by what is going on. Test the waters to separate fact from misinformation.

Base plans on reality, and success becomes more likely. Weaving through an illusion could result in failure. Tonight: Accept an invitation to join your friends.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HH Be aware of your need to possess or be in control.

Your imagination takes you in many different directions to achieve the end goal.

Let go of that need -- at least this once -- and see what people do without your push. Tonight: Enjoy, but do remember your budget.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH You seem to have more steam and energy than usual. Others sense this energy. Don’t be surprised by another person’s efforts to touch base with you. Confusion could affect a work or personal matter. Slow down and get feedback. Tonight: All smiles.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH In order to understand the dynamics around you, slow down and observe more. Also understand that your mind could be filtering the information that comes forward.

Curb a knee-jerk reaction. Given time, you will see the situation differently. Tonight: Play it low-key.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Don’t hesitate to take the lead; others will follow. Unfortunately, you could be witness to some deluded thinking within

your immediate circle. One person, probably male, could push the envelope. Tonight: Where your friends are.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You might send mixed messages without intending to. Pressure comes from a public commitment or professional matter.

At the same time, don’t delude yourself about a personal issue. You might not be content in the long run. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH Keep reaching out for more information and/or a key person at a distance. You are able to make an imprint by taking a conversation to another level. Make sure your audience follows as well -- if you want to be effective. Tonight: Off to the movies or listening to music.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You have the ability to make a difference when dealing with individuals. If you surround yourself with too many people, your uniqueness melts into the group. A partner or associate takes a strong stand. Follow through on a strong instinctive reaction. Tonight: Togetherness.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH Defer to others, knowing full well you can reverse courses if you want to. If someone feels that strongly about a key issue, this person needs to see what happens when he or she takes the position behind the steering wheel. Tonight: Sort through the possibilities. The more people, the merrier.

“My sweater is from Topshop. I pretty much pick out things I like and throw them on. I think I dress a little weird. I just pick what looks good to me.”

New year brings back old fashion trends Christina GuTIERREZ A&E WRITER

As a new year begins, so do new trends and ideas in fashion.

Although many of you have made promises to yourselves to run five miles a day or getting a head start on all of this year’s assignments, the likelihood of attaining these goals is unrealistic. But don’t give up entirely, there are resolutions that you can stick to with ease.

Starting today, make a promise to yourself to look your best. It has been said that you shouldn’t dress for the job you have but for the one you want, so dress in a way that

creates the illusion that you’ve shed 10 pounds or that you’re the smartest, most interesting person in class.

How to do this? Create a style that is 100 percent you.

This way, if you had that extra helping of pasta last night or said something less than brilliant in class, you can count on your appearance to make up for your shortcomings.

Here are some important notes to jot down about what to expect this year in fashion.

According to Vogue, Seventeen, and blogger ‘Mich Eats and Shops’, this year’s hottest color will be tangerine.

Yes, tangerine. Now if this makes you apprehensive, as it will for so many of you, take a chill pill. Despite common misconceptions, you don’t have to

be a bronzed goddess or rail thin to pull off this color.

Of course, we may not necessarily suggest an orange jumpsuit, but there is a way to make this color work for everyone.

A small accessory, for example, can spice up any ensemble. Great ways to pair the color are with either solids or simple patterns – let the tangerine take over.

Black and white stripes, for example, are a perfect match for this new shade.

Tangerine is not the only thing to add to your wardrobe this year, but it’s a start.

We can also expect to see an emergence of retro looks.

According to Elle magazine, ’20s fashion will be roaring once again with fringe and lace. This generation really

knew how to do winter fashion with long, sleek coats and chic winter hats.

This year will be all about putting a modern spin on classic looks. The key to fashion success is to masterfully match vintage looks with modern ones.

For example, try a ’20s style hat with a peacoat and kneehigh leather boots with red lipstick for the pin-up girl feel.

Creating interesting outfits like this will be essential in developing your unique, headturning fashion looks this year.

After all, we have finally made it to 2012. And if the world does end this year, at least you’ll know you went out with a bang. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Scorsese, James among annual DGA nominees NEW YORK (AP) —Martin Scorsese isn’t just nominated for a Directors Guild Award for “Hugo,” but also for his documentary “George Harrison: Living in the Material World.”

The Directors Guild of America announced its doc-

umentary nominees for the 64th annual Directors Guild Awards on Thursday.

Also nominated are Steve James for the Chicago anti-violence documentary “The Interrupters”; Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky for the West

Memphis Three documentary “Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory”; James Marsh for the chimpanzee rearing film “Project Nim”; and Richard Press for the fashion photographer documentary “Bill Cunningham New York.”

On Thursday, the academy announced that it has overhauled its often criticized documentary selection process.

Beginning next year, the entire documentary branch within the academy will be able to vote on nominees, rather than just a selection committee.

The Directors Guild earlier this week nominated Scorsese, David Fincher (“The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”), Michel Hazanavicius (“The Artist”), Woody Allen (“Midnight in Paris”) and Alexander Payne (“The Descendants”) for its top filmmaking honors.

The guild will announce its winners at a Jan. 28 dinner, with Kelsey Grammer as host.

Sleepwalker to bring rock ‘n’ roll to 123

SLEEPWALKER

by Hunter Homistek A&E WRITER

Local indie rock outfit Sleepwalker is primed to take the 123 Pleasant Street stage tonight in what promises to be a high-octane display of rock ‘n’ roll.

Opening up for the Morgantown based group will be local garage rock mainstay Prison Book Club and Knoxville, Tenn., songwriter and performer Matt Woods.

Sleepwalker has taken the local music scene by storm since its inception in May 2011. The band prides itself on its live show and is always eager to take the stage at 123 Pleasant Street.

“The venue is legendary,” said singer/guitarist Tyler Grady. “Bands like Fugazi, Black Flag and the Butthole Surfers have played that stage.”

Refusing to be intimidated by such a rich history, Sleepwalker dishes out its own brand of indie rock that has quickly made them a favorite amongst local music enthusiasts.

“They are currently the torch bearers of the rock ‘n’ roll indie scene,” said 123 Pleasant Street owner Louis Giuliani.

“In addition to being a who’s who of the late night drinking circuit, they are also some of the most respected individuals in the local music scene.”

Tonight’s show will proudly

display this exceptional skill, and the band is honored to headline the legendary 123 stage.

“It’s a good feeling standing in the same place as some of your heroes,” Grady said.

While the band is humbled to share the same stage as their idols, Sleepwalker has already proven they firmly belong in their company. Tonight’s show will serve to bolster this notion and add another page to the group’s rapidly ascending career.

Like Sleepwalker, Prison Book Club is no stranger to the scene at 123 Pleasant Street, and the group always impresses with its unique blend of styles.

“They rule,” Grady said.

“There are straight sad bastard country songs alongside ‘tear it up’ cut loose numbers. They have range and talent.”

While the group puts on an energetic and exciting show, their talents go well beyond the stage.

Guitarist Adam Meisterhans also works as a producer recording and mixing albums for bands like Sleepwalker and The Demon Beat, and he is one of the most respected and admired musicians in the local circuit.

“Watching Adam Meisterhans play guitar is one of my favorite pastimes,” Grady said.

With such skill and experi-

ence in the group, Prison Book Club is an absolute can’t-miss for music lovers tonight at 123.

Hailing from the epicenter of country music, Matt Woods exhibits a passion in his work that can only come from years of honing his craft.

While Woods shies away from labels and the over-generalizations modern artists are sometimes subjected to, his music has a distinct folk/Americana influence and oftentimes delves into more traditional straightforward rock ‘n’ roll.

Woods is a hardworking individual and truly immerses himself in his music, resulting in an unparalleled passion and authenticity that has connected

him with fans across the United States.

Tonight’s show at 123 Pleasant Street features an impressive array of musicians sure to satisfy the palate of any music enthusiast.

“I am really excited about this show,” said Donnie Duppee, manager of 123 Pleasant Street. “It’s three distinct bands – a great night of music. There is something for everyone.”

The show starts at 10 p.m. and there will be a $5 cover charge.

Sleepwalker’s album is free to download at www.sleepwalkerwv.bandcamp.com daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Local band Best Friends to debut at 123 Saturday night

by Emily Meadows A&E Writer

While there is much anticipation building for Ty Segall’s first Morgantown appearance this weekend, Saturday night will also be an exciting opportunity to introduce an upand-coming band in the local music scene.

Best Friends, made up of Jordan Pack, Jami Calandros, John Casey and Paris Leonard, is a Morgantown based pop-rock band scheduled as the opening performance for Saturday night’s Ty Segall and The Demon Beat show at 123 Pleasant Street.

The multitalented musicians and songwriters, who have been playing together since 2009, derive their sound

and influence from an eclectic wave of inspiration from Mountain to Yo La Tenga and AC/DC, and creating a unique sound to call their own.

The band utilizes a variety of instruments on various tracks alongside the everpresent guitars, drums, bass and superb lead vocals, including rhythm guitars, keyboards and tambourines.

While they have only had a handful of appearances, their energetic and feel-good sound is certain to attract a crowd, draw in new fans and bring feet the dance floor.

“Looking around, we want to see people having fun, dancing,” said Jami Calandros, rhythm guitarist and drummer. “We want them to be excited and see the energy

that is so positive.”

Their self-titled EP, released just last week, is a wellpolished and upbeat compilation of the bands latest tracks including “Open Up Your Eyes,” “Take a Break” and “I Don’t Care,” – all of which will perfrom this weekend.

The band is collectively most excited for their second live performance of their brand new track, “Don’t Call Me Baby,” which initially debuted at the West Virginia University Mountainlair’s Gluck Theatre for Monday night’s recording for the U92 WWVU-FM-produced Morgantown Sound.

“We’ve tried to produce music that sounds positive; I think that’s what makes music so infectious,” Leonard said,

lead bass player.

The group of best friends is anticipating to play about eight to 10 songs, making it their biggest performance to date.

The band said they hope for this to be a preview – a new beginning for the band – and there will be so much more to come.

You can listen to the Best Friends’ EP which can also be downloaded online for free by visiting www.bestfriendswv. bandcamp.com.

Tickets for Saturday night’s show at 123 Pleasant Street with Ty Segall and The Demon Beat are on sale now for $10 on the venue’s website.

The show will begin at 10 p.m. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘Walk Without Fear’ exhibit shows dangers of landmines through student art

by Christina Gutierrez A&E Writer

The Monongalia Arts Center will begin showcasing the “Walk Without Fear” photography and art exhibit

by Proud Students Against Landmines and West Virginia Campaign to Ban Landmines today.

The exhibit is dedicated to exposing the dangers of land mines and cluster bombs in Laos and Cambodia.

All of the artwork in the gallery came directly from members and coordinators of the group.

Through original paintings and photographs from field work, the exhibit attempts to share the dedication and care of the members.

The group is comprised of students who want to educate the public about the extreme dangers and cruelty of these war tactics.

PSALM/WVCBL Coordinator Nora Sheets is passionate and proud to be a part of an organization that informs people of issues not necessarily present in their everyday lives.

“We are committed to educating the public about the devastation caused by landmines and cluster munitions and recognize the indiscriminate nature of these weapons leading to the destruction of innocent life – especially children – after wartime hostilities have ceased,” Sheets said.

The exhibit will feature a simulated mine field designed by the students to make these disasters more real to those who have not experienced it for themselves.

“Landmines and cluster munitions have killed or maimed more people than nuclear, chemical and biological weapons combined and do not distinguish between civilians and combat-

ants, between times of peace and times of war,” she said.

She feels that the main purpose of this exhibit, while being artistically stimulating, is to raise awareness and try to make a change.

“We hope to prevent future casualties, as well as contribute to the universal signature of the treaties banning these weapons by all countries,” Sheets said.

www.monartscenter.com

Artworks, photographs and art installations by Proud Students Against Landmines and Cluster Bombs and the West Virginia Campaign to Ban Landmines and Cluster Bombs is on display at the MAC.

PSALM/WVCBL work on various projects throughout the year including postermaking, letter-writing, petition drives, awareness days and presentations in our school, community and state as well as national and international conferences.

The organization is proud to showcase its hard work and share its knowledge and compassion with the public.

“Seemingly hopeless problems can only be solved by taking the first step,” she said.

The gallery’s opening reception will be held on Jan. 13

at the Monongalia Arts Center, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. where the students will act as gallery guides.

The exhibit will run from Jan. 13 to Feb. 3 and is free and open to the public. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

So far in this 2011 season, the Mountaineer play on defense has been inconsistent.

Even though Carey’s team has won the last two games against Villanova and Seton Hall, it was a different story from game to game. The team was focused and consistent against the Wildcats, but confused and rattled against the Pirates.

The Mountaineers (12-4,

3-1) look to regain their focus as they travel to Providence to take on the Friars (9-8, 1-3) Saturday.

“We just need to do a better job on defense and just communicate on screens more,” said West Virginia sophomore point guard Brooke Hampton. “We will. We’ll get that covered in practice.”

Providence is coming off of a loss to No. 3 Connecticut, who the Mountaineers also lost to last week.

The Friars average 56.8 points per game, led by redshirt senior forward Teya Wright (13.9). The 6-foot-1

forward also averages just more than 10 rebounds per game.

Carey talked about switching on screens and communicating on the switches to be in the right spot and be guarding the right man at the right time.

Wright will be a player the Mountaineers should keep an eye on and try to take her out of her element.

“We didn’t play good defense at all,” said WVU guard Christal Caldwell after the Mountaineers game against Seton Hall Tuesday. “Just not communicating with each other, on a lot of screens we

got lost, and we talked about it for the past two days scouting them, and we just didn’t really go with the game plan. Luckily, it didn’t hurt us.”

Saturday’s game could be a good chance for Carey to get through to his players about getting better on defense, as Providence has only averaged 363 fans per game during its home games this season.

Less noise equals a better chance for the Mountaineers to talk to each other on the defensive side of the ball.

Providence also turns the ball over 15.6 times per game, something West Virginia can

take advantage of with its quick guards.

West Virginia junior center Asya Bussie feels the team has to be ready for any style of play, because in the Big East anything is possible from any team. The Mountaineers failed to do so in the last few games.

Defending the screen will be an important component for West Virginia in this game, as the Friars’ best three-point shooter, senior guard Rachel Barnes, has made 24 shots on the year – the most on the team.

Bussie believes the post

game of herself and fellow junior center Ayana Dunning can help the scoring when the team needs it.

“In practice we just work a lot on the high-low,” Bussie said. “Playing two bigs, (head coach Mike Carey) says we need to score just because we can’t run as fast as the guards, and get up and down (the floor) so we just need to get points.”

Stout defense and post scoring could land the Mountaineers their third Big East conference win in a row. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

WVU ready to rebound on No. 3 West Virginia hungry to road against Michigan State compete after long layoff by alex sims

The West Virginia wrestling team will take the mat today in East Lansing, Mich., against Michigan State.

The Mountaineers are coming off of a 22-15 loss to the No. 13 Maryland Terrapins.

Junior Shane Young was able to defeat No. 20 Shane Gentry, improving Young’s record to 14-3.

Sophomore Michael Morales defeated Maryland’s Frank Goodwin in his first match of the season.

Michigan State comes into the match at 2-3 overall. The Spartans have been victorious against Lock Haven and Bucknell. They have been unsuccessful against Eastern Michigan, Purdue and most recently, No. 4 Penn State.

The Spartans’ lone home match came against Eastern Michigan on Nov. 18.

Michigan State is led by No. 18 Dan Osterman. The junior recently fell to Penn State’s Frank Molinaro, but has been one of Michigan State’s top wrestlers throughout his wrestling career at 149 lbs.

Also, leading the Spartans will be No. 14 Anthony Jones Jr. The senior out of Highland Park, Mich., wrestles at 157 lbs.

There will certainly be some interesting story lines in this bout.

Redshirt sophomore Nathan Pennesi adjusting to his new weight class. Pennessi is now wrestling at 133 lbs. instead of his usual 141.

Turnbull feels his squad will learn throughout the year and continue to improve. The middle of Michigan State’s squad will be quite a challenge for WVU.

It has been more than two months since the West Virginia rifle team earned its sixth win of the season over No. 6 Ole Miss Nov. 12.

Saturday, following the 63 day break, the No. 3 Mountaineers (6-0, 3-0) will make their return to the range to host No. 16 Akron in an all-day match.

The first semester saw some consistent performers emerge and a wealth of progress made though six wins.

WVU shot the third-highest team score in the NCAA with a 4,693 shot against No. 4 Army Oct. 22.

Junior Petra Zublasing has paced not only the Mountaineers but every other collegiate shooter as well.

The Italian National Team member owns the top individual score in all of collegiate rifle in both the air rifle and smallbore, shooting a 600 and a 593, respectively.

Veteran shooters like Zublasing and senior Justin Pentz and Mike Kulbacki have led the way as expected, but WVU has also

West Virginia head coach Craig Turnbull and the Mountaineer wrestling team will take on Michigan State this weekend.

“I think there was a lot we learned from the Maryland match,” Turnbull said.

“Michigan State is a very similar team to Maryland. Maryland was very challenging, but Michigan State will be more challenging.”

Turnbull feels redshirt sophomore Nathan Penesssi

“That continues to be a challenge,” he said. “It took a week for him to decide. It will take a little bit of time to adjust. We hope that this week he gets to his comfort level.”

kind of grown from that.”

With a new conference, new defensive scheme and new coaches, the recruiting tendencies of the past will be significantly altered.

I don’t have any doubts the future West Virginia defensive scheme will ultimately be able to find its way and carve out a new brand of football that will be sustainable for years to come.

I am also certain, though,

that the 3-3-5 – while at times frustrating and a little confusing – treated Mountaineer nation well over the years.

So, with that being said, I’m officially saying farewell to the enigmatic defense that helped capture three BCS wins in the past six years.

Goodbye, 3-3-5 stack.

Thanks for the good times, and best of luck in the Pac 12.

benefitted from impressive performances from multiple newcomers.

Freshmen Thomas Kyanko, Meelis Kiisk, Taylor Ciotola and others have all made major contributions to a West Virginia squad that have solidified its position alongside the best teams in the country.

The young Mountaineers, including Estonian native Kiisk, have handled the collegiate transition well and continue to strive for improvement.

“Fall semester was really interesting,” Kiisk said. “The whole team experience, for me, was new and a lot of fun, as well.

It’s definitely a really great experience to be here.”

Another freshman, Amy Bock, missed time early in the season while competing for the Puerto Rican national team in the Pan American Games.

“Within only one month of being here at West Virginia, my shooting scores increased so much,” Bock said. “I don’t regret any low scores I’ve had because I’ve learned so much through time and working with the whole team.”

Now, Bock is poised to take

on an increased role going forward for the Mountaineers.

Meanwhile, Akron brings a 2-0-1 record to Morgantown and is led by a prolific senior shooter, Sarah Benjamin.

Only six matches stand between WVU and its NCAA qualifying match on Feb. 18, so naturally the sense of urgency will begin to increase.

“We just have to focus on ourselves and try to continually improve and get better,” said West Virginia head coach Jon Hammond. “Right now, I think that’s more important than the actual scores we shoot.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

A bittersweet farewell to the 3-3-5

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia hosts much-improved Rutgers Saturday at Coliseum

By John terry Managing editor

The West Virginia men’s basketball team will try returning to its winning ways Saturday when it hosts Rutgers at 2 p.m.

West Virginia defeated Rutgers 85-64 on Jan. 4, but the Scarlet Knights are fresh off a 62-39 rout of Pittsburgh on the road Wednesday.

“I worry about playing whoever we’re playing,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “Rutgers obviously has played extremely well since they played us, and Mike (Brice) has done a fantastic job, and

they compete so hard. They’re always a very hard game, I’ve got great respect for what Mike’s done.”

West Virginia fell to No. 16 Connecticut Monday.

“We’ve had a whole bunch of just one-day preps, and it’s particularly hard when you’ve got as many young guys as we do,” Huggins said.

Since the loss to West Virginia, Rutgers hasn’t only blown out Pittsburgh on the road but it also beat Connecticut 67-60.

Freshman guard Eli Carter leads Rutgers, scoring 14.2 points per game. Sophomore Gilvydas Biruta is scoring 10

points and getting 5.5 rebounds per game.

“There’s no game that you can say, ‘OK, well, we’re going to win this one.’ You have to play really well to be able to win every night out, and that’s just about everybody,” Huggins said.

Huggins said he likes the way his team is progressing early in the season. He thought his team had control for most of Monday’s loss to the Huskies.

“We’re getting better. It’s hard, with seven freshmen and a transfer, to try to run everything that you want to run, and do the things that you want to

do, but I think we’ve made significant progress. We tried to play a pretty tough nonconference schedule to get ready for the Big East, and I really think that’s helped,” Huggins said.

“We’re taking baby steps, but we are getting better.”

Seniors Kevin Jones and Truck Bryant continue to lead the Mountaineers.

Huggins said moving Bryant off the ball has allowed him to score more, but at times the senior has tried too hard to score.

Bryant is second on the team with 17.8 points per game, and has scored in double-figure scoring in all but the Connect-

icut game. He has scored more than 20 points in five games this season.

Jones leads the team with 19.9 points and 11.5 rebounds.

“KJ’s one of those special guys that you just don’t get very often,” he said. “He knows that we need him to rebound the ball, and he’s done a terrific job rebounding the ball for us.

I think he said he got a little bit out of character the Connecticut game and that he was on the floor for a long period of time with four freshmen and felt like he had to make plays.” john.terry@mail.wvu.edu

men’s soccer

Gaddis selected No. 35 by Philadelphia Union by michael carvelli sports editor

Marlon LeBlanc remembers his first home visit as West Virginia’s head men’s soccer coach fondly.

He went to Indiana to visit Indianapolis native Ray Gaddis. Now, after four successful seasons in Morgantown, Gaddis will be taking another step forward in his soccer career after being drafted 35th overall in the MLS SuperDraft by the Philadelphia Union.

“You look back and you see Ray, and you see what we were looking to build this program around,” LeBlanc said. “We were able to provide these guys with an opportubrooke cassidy/the daily athenaeum nity to get a great education West Virginia defender Ray Gaddis was picked 35th overall by the Philadelphia Union in and pursue their professional the MLS SuperDraft Thursday. soccer aspirations.

“It’s special to see him get to do that now.”

For Gaddis, the opportunity to get to play at the next level is a product of the hard work he has put in up to this point.

“It is a great honor and blessing to be selected in this year’s draft,” he said in a statement. “I want to thank all of the coaches, West Virginia University and the athletic department for putting me in the right environment to become a pro. I also want to thank Coach LeBlanc who took a chance on me and thought I deserved to play for WVU. It’s a very exciting moment for me and family, and it is what I have dreamed of and worked for all my life.”

While Gaddis thanked LeBlanc for taking a chance on him, the Mountaineer head coach feels it should be the other way around.

When LeBlanc was recruiting Gaddis, WVU had recently been the subject of a major investigation led by the NCAA and had violations leveled on the program. LeBlanc said Gaddis committing to a West Virginia program with that many question marks surrounding it, was the real chance that was taken.

“This is a kid who had all of the big hitters coming to see him,” LeBlanc said of Gaddis.

“As a program coming off an NCAA investigation and had some violations, Ray took a chance on us. At the end of the day, we’re better for it, and I’d like to think he’s better for it, too.”

A two-time Hermann Trophy Watch List honoree, Gaddis made his name known throughout the country during his time at West Virginia because of his blazing speed and his versatility that allowed him to do so many things for the Mountaineers. But if there’s one thing that Gaddis does that will help him continue com-

peting on a high level once he begins playing in the MLS, it will be his competitive nature on the field.

“Everybody kind of looked at him and saw what he was doing from the right back position to impact our game,” LeBlanc said.

“Outside of the physical characteristics of what he can do from an athletic perspective, it’s the character intangibles that really set him apart from the great majority of people out there. He’s a very focused young man who’s going to work his socks off every single day.”

Now, Gaddis is ready to get back on the field and show just what he’s capable of doing to help Philadelphia as soon as he can.

“I’m going to savor this moment, but I know it’s time to get down to business now,” Gaddis said. “I know the coaching staff very well and I know they’re going to help to keep developing me as a player so I can just keep getting better.”

By being selected Thursday afternoon, Gaddis became the first WVU men’s soccer player to be drafted in the first two rounds of the MLS draft.

The exposure that can come with having a player picked that high in the draft could do a lot to help increase the notoriety of a Mountaineer soccer program that has been on the rise for the last few seasons.

“The program has evolved quite a bit in a short amount of time and it speaks to the quality of kids we’re bringing in,” LeBlanc said. “We’re doing it the right way and bringing guys like Ray in here, get them a great education and getting them to be able to follow their dream to be a professional soccer player is great for the program and great for Ray, as well.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

With defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel officially a member of Rich Rodriguez’s staff at Arizona, it seems Mountaineer fans have, in all likelihood, seen the last of the iconic, amoeba-like defense known as the 3-3-5.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I’ll get to that in a minute.

Let’s first look back at some of the memorable things the atypical defensive alignment was able to accomplish in the past several years.

In 2007, during the height of Rodriguez’s heyday, the West Virginia defense finished the season No. 7 in the country in total defense. It also ranked No. 8 in scoring defense, No. 9 in turnover margin, No. 15 in sacks and No. 18 in rushing defense.

The 2010 season was arguably the best year for a Casteelcoached defense. The Mountaineers finished third in the country in total defense and scoring defense and second in rushing defense and sacks per game.

In three of the previous seven years, West Virginia finished in the top 15 in the country in total defense.

Linebackers like Marc Magro, Reed Williams, J. T. Thomas and Najee Goode thrived under Casteel’s watch.

Let’s not forget the defensive ends that flourished under Bill Kirelawich’s tutelage either.

Johnny Dingle, Scooter Berry, Chris Neild and, most recently, Bruce Irvin, were the types of players who entered West Virginia as nationally unknown guys but exited as AllConference players who left lasting marks on the program through playing in the 3-3-5.

Dave Lockwood, the departing defensive backs coach, didn’t have the tenure Casteel and Kirelawich had in Morgantown, but his work with players like Brandon Hogan, Ellis Lankster and Keith Tandy allowed the West Virginia pass defense to be stingy, efficient and liable to take the ball away on every pass.

There’s no denying West Virginia found profound success with the 3-3-5. After the Orange Bowl victory, Casteel himself elaborated on this point.

“We can morph into a lot of different things, I think, out of it,” he said of the defense.

“So it’s been good to us. Over the last eight, nine, 10 years we’ve been fairly consistent.

So it’s been good for us.”

So why is it that when news of Casteel’s departure hit, some people were happy to be “rid” of the quirky, shape-shifting defense that has been a nuisance for Big East opponents since its inception?

The players and results speak for themselves. Some, though, would argue that the 3-3-5 would be ripped to shreds against the more physical, prolific offenses of the Big 12.

I’m not so sure.

Yes, there is validity in the notion of Big 12 offenses being a lot bigger, faster and better than those of the Big East.

Playing against Pittsburgh is a little different than facing Oklahoma. I see the point, and I give you that.

Still, nobody in the Big 12 has played against the 3-35. Scouting it, one could find holes to exploit, but until an opposing offense faced it in a game, it’s not a given the 3-3-5 couldn’t be successful.

For a long-term view, which is the one Holgorsen and his staff have to take, now is the opportune time to shift the defensive culture from the 3-3-5 to a more traditional option, such as a 3-4 or 4-3 that we are likely to see next season.

Rodriguez and Casteel were led to install the 3-3-5 in part because of the types of players they could recruit under the system.

“I think when we first came here, we thought that we’d be able to maybe get a niche in recruiting where we were having to go and recruit some of the three technique, so we thought it might be easier to

track

Cleary happy with early season success by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia track and field team will travel to University Park, Pa. this weekend to take on Penn State.

The Mountaineers were off to a good start at the WVU Holiday Classic last month.

Four athletes posted Big East championship-qualifying marks.

Sophomore Stormy Nesbit was the standout of the meet, earning a Big East-qualifying mark of 11.90 in triple jump.

West Virginia head coach Sean Cleary was excited to see Nesbit’s work this early in the season following the meet.

“Stormy, in that triple jump

off of a short approach, was near her best-ever mark,” Cleary said. “She’s headed in the right direction.”

The team is also headed in the right direction coming into the outdoor season.

Both junior Terina Miller and senior Heather Adams also had Big East-qualifying marks. They came up with 16.05-meter and a 15.53-meter marks, respectively. The requirement is 15.40 meters.

WVU hopes to continue its good start this weekend at the Penn State Nittany Lion Challenge. This meet could be beneficial for the squad to determine improvement for future meets.

“Normally the first meet af-

ter Christmas is a rust buster,” Cleary said. “Most of the group has been training outside in the snow, so it’s hard to make predictions for this one.

“We are wanting to see that the group maintained their fitness and can perform at a level that is equal or better than they did in December.

From here we wind things up fairly quickly.”

Junior Sydney Cummings, who competes in the high jump, felt the team’s hard work and training over the break could bring instant results.

“Our coaches helped us put together a training plan over the holiday break,” Cummings said. “It was hard strength and

conditioning training, and then I would do jumps for three days, break for training, then jump for another two days.

“We’re all excited to get back into competition and see how the training is paying off.

The Penn State Nittany Lion Challenge will determine a lot for Cummings personally, in terms of individual standings.

“My goals for this weekend are to win the high jump event and qualify for the Big East Championships in February,” Cummings said. “I’m hoping to achieve the 1.68-meter requirement.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

gymnastics

WVU wants to keep up hard work after record-setting match by sebouh majarian sports writer

Fight isn’t a word one would normally associate with a sport as graceful and elegant as gymnastics.

Coming off a record-setting season opener, first-year coach Jason Butts is looking for his team to fight this weekend like it did the last.

West Virginia scored a 195.1 – the highest score in a season opener – placing second to No. 13 Penn State (195.775) and defeating Maryland (194.225).

“This team fights,” Butts said.

“They also have a lot of fun, and those two things combine to keep them so positive.

“When it comes time for competition they really step it up and get intense; they fight. they do what they need to do, but when the competition is over they’re making jokes and dancing in the mirror.”

The Mountaineers took first place with great floor routines

while placing second on the vault and beam. The team was led by all-arounder and Eastern Atlantic Gymnastic League gymnast of the week Hope Sloanhoffer who placed second individually, with a score of 39.3.

“Hope showed me this weekend she can step in and fill the shoes that Amy (Bieski) left when she graduated,” Butts said.

“She’s such a calm competitor, and she’s going to do that this year. And it’s great because she’s replacing a senior and she’s just a sophomore.”

Senior Tina Maloney also competed all-around scoring 38.85, which was good for fourth place. She claimed first place on floor with a 9.875, edging Sloanhoffer, who received a 9.85 from the judges.

Butts wants to prove last week’s score wasn’t a fluke and the team, though young, can produce similar results consistently.

Rutgers hasn’t showed much resistance against WVU in the all-time series.

Last year, the Mountaineers handed the Scarlet Knights a 194.075-191.15 loss, keeping West Virginia perfect in 49 attempts against Rutgers.

One of the goals the coach has established for the team is to score between 194.5 and 195.5.

“That’s where we need to be in the middle part of the season. It’s just keeping that consistency,” Butts said.

Alaska Richardson fought back last weekend with a great floor routine after a slip-up on the vault.

The Dayton, Ohio, native’s hand slipped as she planted for her launch, causing her to abort the routine and land without getting injured. She bounced
