Campuswide tobacco ban approved by bryan bumgardner city editor

The West Virginia University Board of Governors approved a policy banning tobacco use on campus for employees, students and visitors beginning July 1, 2013. The policy was adopted after a two-hour executive session during the BOG meeting in Charleston, W.Va. The ban prohibits tobacco use on any premises owned,

operated, leased or occupied by WVU. This includes any outdoor areas on campus, parking lots and previously designated smoking areas. The ban also guarantees the availability of cessation programs, which will give students and faculty the resources needed to overcome tobacco addiction. Discussions about a tobacco ban have taken place on campus for several years. WVU

president James P. Clements believes interest in an official ban was motivated by these grassroots discussions. “This is something that bubbled up from students, faculty and staff,” he said. “If we have a responsibility in terms of public health, I think the board made a good decision.” In response to overwhelming input from students, professors and staff, the University formed a task force of three

students, three faculty members and three staff to explore the feasibility of a tobacco policy. Over several months, this task force reviewed similar policies at other universities, held forums to gauge public opinion, consistently published updates and recommended the policy that was submitted to the BOG. The entire process took more than a year, Clements

said. “The reality is, this is a complex discussion,” Clements said. “It was good to have the task force to collect input and everyone got to speak their mind. That’s a good thing, even if it took a little bit longer.” Some on-campus organizations have supported a smoking ban for years. The Tobacco Free Mountaineers, an antitobacco student organization, has held public forums advo-

cating a smoking ban. “The primary concern of a tobacco-free policy is the overall health and ethical behavior of the institution,” said Alyssa Iannamorelli, president of TFM, in a letter to the editor published in the Daily Athenaeum in March. Clements shares the same perspective. “We have a responsibility

Construction is currently taking place at the location of the newly designed Morgantown Farmers’ Market, which will allow all-weather access to the market.

by terri parlett staff writer

The Morgantown Farmers’ Market will soon have a new place for vendors to sell fresh produce, meat and other goods to the community. Construction has begun on a new pavilion on Spruce Street that will allow the farmers’ market to better serve the community, even in inclement weather. The Morgantown Farmers’ Market is held every Saturday from May to October and features more than 30 vendors. In addition, the market also features nonprofit organizations, as well as musicians. The farmers’ market is being held in the parking lot on the corner of Fayette and Chestnut streets this summer as construction begins on the new pavilion. The grand opening is scheduled for July 28, which will also be the start of a culinary program that will provide suggestions for preparing the goods bought at the market. Lisa Lagana, the market manager, said the pavilion will be good for patrons who want to shop, even on rainy days. “I think one of the main benefits will be that people will be able to shop out of the weather, and it also gives

the farmers’ market a home downtown that will be permanent,” she said. “It will actually be open on days when we are not there,” Lagana said. “It can also be used for other events, so if people are interested in setting up other events, it will be available.” This opens up the area to arts events or any event that may also need a permanent downtown home, Lagana said. Lagana said the pavilion is ideal because it’s a way of having shelter while maintaining the outdoor environment that people enjoy, especially for a farmers’ market. The biggest difficulty in the process has been raising money for the pavilion, Lagana said. Changing steel prices have presented a challenge in funding. At the Main Street Morgantown website, www.downtownmorgantown.com, donations for the project are still being accepted. There is also a live feed camera, where people can watch the pavilion’s progress.

All around campus students and parents can be found in the midst of orientation at West Virginia University. Throughout June, incoming freshmen and their parents will be exploring their way around campus and learning about WVU. Orientation leaders, current students at WVU, lead the future students and their parents to a Qualitative Reasoning Assessment, or QRA, which places students into their math and chemistry classes based on scores. Orientation leaders will also take students on campus tours and guide them to advisers who help them create their first semester’s schedule. A popular part of the orientation process is the Student Organizations Fair. Student organizations across campus host booths, which students can visit to see what organizations await them when they attend WVU. Alex Eichelberger, a freshman engineering student, said he was very interested in the Student Government Association but was disappointed to see their booth empty Monday afternoon. Many students at WVU come from out of state, and they all have different reasons for choosing WVU. Eichelberger said he really appreciated the closeness of the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, de-

Nora Abbey, a freshman public relations student from Maryland, said she was looking forward to a new start out of state. Abbey was also among the many students at the fair looking forward to joining the Mountaineer Maniacs. This is by far the most popular booth at the Student Organizations Fair. Orientation isn’t all about students though. Parents also attend orientation, and it has benefits for them as well. Carrie

Eichelberger, who attended with her son Alex, said meeting Dr. Garbutt, the dean of the Honors College, put her at ease. “It really made me feel comfortable, because we’re almost four hours away, so the honors advisers were really great. They really create a great bridge between high school and college,” she said. Students will continue to attend orientation throughout June, and this orientation assures both students and parents of the future that awaits them at WVU. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Governor Jindal to attend Republican fundraiser in Morgantown Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana will be visiting Morgantown June 19 for a fundraiser supporting Republican candidate Bill Maloney’s gubernatorial campaign. Tickets to the event can be bought at $500 each or $1000 for a ticket with a private photo opportunity. Jindal is a prominent leader in the Republican party, and experts suspect he could appear on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s ticket as a vice presidential candidate. Contributions will support Maloney’s bid for W.Va.’s governorship. In 2011, Maloney was the Republican candidate for W.Va.’s gubernatorial special election, but lost to current Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin by less than 3 percent. The event will be take place at Benton Groves Bed and Banquet, and a press conference will be held before it begins.

Black Bear Burritos to open second location in Suncrest by carlee lammers staff writer

Black Bear Burritos will soon have a second way to satisfy customers’ growling hunger. Black Bear Burritos has announced plans to open a second location in the Suncrest Towne Center. Black Bear Burritos owner Jason Coffman said he hopes to provide the Suncrest and Evansdale areas with the same great Black Bear taste and experience many have come to enjoy.

“We have always had the desire to grow our business,” Coffman said. “Our hope is that with the second location, specifically in the Suncrest area, we’ll be able to reach a lot of folks who don’t travel downtown due to traffic or limited parking.” The new restaurant will feature a larger dining area; a larger stage for performers; a kitchen facility large enough to accommodate both catering and restaurant orders; 20 different draft beers, which includes West Virginia-brewed beers; and many custom de-

signed elements, which includes a custom-made refurbished bar, Coffman said. Co-owner Matthew Showalter said the custom-made elements, such as the bar made from repurposed wood, reflects the restaurant’s commitment to serving a fine dining experience while providing an eco-friendly environment. “Our contractor had a lot of excess pallet woods that are usually discarded. They had been weathered and already had that old barn look, so we used them for the face of the bar,” he said. “This highlights

our desire to reuse and repurpose materials, which is a lot of what we stand for. We want to practice eco-friendly habits and always be thinking along those lines.” Showalter said he is excited to have the opportunity to improve upon the downtown location’s successes. “I’m excited to focus on the little elements,” he said. “Growing a business affords you the opportunity to add more detail. I think that it’s very exciting to be able to take extra time to improve upon what we’ve done downtown

to better serve our customers.” Coffman said he has embraced the challenge of designing the new location, and he is excited to add more of a personal touch to the new location. “In addition to the opportunity to expand within Morgantown, what excites me is the challenge itself. This is an opportunity to create a little more of what we want,” he said. “With this location we were able to design about 70 percent of it, so to me the excitement is the challenge.” The restaurant is projected

to open in mid-July. “We want everyone to know that we still intend to keep the same concepts that have done us well downtown,” Showalter said. “We’re bringing to Evansdale what we feel is a good representation of Morgantown. This will still be the same Black Bear Burritos that everyone knows – we’re just bringing it to another side of town.” For more information, visit the restaurant’s website at http://blackbearburritos.com. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Average cost of tuition for a 4-year university jumps 15 percent in two years NEW YORK (AP) —When those college tuition bills come in, be prepared for sticker shock. The average tuition at a four-year public university climbed 15 percent between 2008 and 2010, fueled by state budget cuts for higher education and increases of 40 percent and more at universities in states like Georgia, Arizona and California. The U.S. Department of Education’s annual look at college affordability also found significant price increases at the nation’s private universities, including at forprofit institutions, where the net price for some schools is now twice as high as Harvard. At Full Sail University, a film and art school in central Florida, the average price of tuition, fees, books, and other expenses totals $43,990, even when grants and scholarships are factored in. The average net price for an incoming Harvard student : $18,277, according to the department. Net price is cost of attendance minus grant and scholarship aid. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said students need

smoking

Continued from page 1 to lead the state about being healthy,” he said. “This ban certainly fits a healthy lifestyle.” The policy states that signs will be posted marking nonsmoking areas, and any students who violate the policy are subject to “disciplinary sanctions, up to and including expulsion.” Employees who violate the policy will similarly be subject to disciplinary action or termination. Other individuals found smoking on campus “may be removed.”

to be smart consumers and states needs to do their part by making higher education a priority in their budgets. Forty percent of states cut higher education spending last year, the most important factor in tuition increases. “As a nation, we need more college graduates in order to stay competitive in the global economy,” Duncan said. “But if the costs keep on rising, especially at a time when family incomes are hurting, college will become increasingly unaffordable for the middle class.” Pennsylvania State University had the highest in-state tuition for a four-year public university at $15,250 during the 2010-11 school year. When the costs of room, board and other expenses are factored in, the total rises to $19,816, the fourth highest net price nationwide. Bill Mahon, a spokesman for the school, said a 19.6 percent cut in state funding last year, coupled with a decade of weak state support, “has left Penn State increasingly reliant on students and their families to fund most of the costs of their Penn State

education.” Zach Zimbler, who graduated from Penn State University this spring with a degree in information sciences, said his total tuition came out to about $50,000 for four years. He now has loans totaling around $25,000. He said many students don’t realize how much debt they’ve amassed until it comes time to pay. “The students themselves don’t really know what they’re getting into,” he said. Zimbler said he worked during school and feels confident about the value of the education he received, even though it came with a high price tag. He’s working on starting his own software business. The College Affordability and Transparency lists were first published last year to fulfill a reporting requirement passed into law in 2008. The lists track tuition and fees as well as the average net price at public, private and for-profit colleges and universities. It’s one of several recent initiatives by the Department of Education to increase stu-

dent and parent awareness on the costs of higher education. Last week, presidents from 10 colleges and universities agreed to provide students information on costs, financial aid and monthly loan payments after graduation in an easy-to-understand form. President Barack Obama also issued a mandate to streamline the application process for those who want to enroll in income-based repayment plans, which set a cap on loan payments based on discretionary income. Meanwhile, Republicans and Democrats in Congress are struggling against a July 1 deadline to avert a doubling of interest rates on new federal student loans for 7.4 million people. The data released Tuesday shows increases for fouryear, public institutions that are similar what has been observed over the last decade, though Duncan said costs have increased faster in recent years. Between 2001-02 and 2011-12, in-state tuition and fees at public, four-year colleges increased at an average rate of 5.6 percent each year, according to the Col-

However, similar bans, such as the tobacco ban at the University of Kentucky, have required little to no enforcement, according to Ellen Hahn, director of UK’s Tobacco Policy Research Program. Clements stressed that the ban is about maintaining a healthy campus said he was inspired by the students. “I’m not saying people can’t smoke, I’m just saying they can’t smoke on campus. I don’t want to take away their personal rights,” he said. “But we want this to be a healthy campus, and from a grassroots effort, a majority of people came out and said ‘please

pass this policy.’” The BOG Policy states that exceptions to the ban can be made for events that attract large amounts of off campus visitors, such as athletic events or concerts. The policy was open for comment by the public before approval. A majority of the responses were in favor of the ban – almost two to one. Tami Nicole Hall, a WVU student and a smoker, said in her comment that smoking releases stress and banning that escape could cause problems. “We are already confined to where we can smoke, and I think keeping certain places open for smoking is a much better plan,” she said. However, she does agree that lack of regulation can lead to conflict. “I have seen very disrespectful motions from smokers to others. Some kind of regulation is necessary,” she said. Tysheiana Velez Marquez voiced her concerns about how long it took the University to adopt a non-smoking policy.

“Why do I have to suffer for [smoker’s] choice of wanting to follow a ridiculous drug?” she said. Marquez is allergic to cigarette smoke, and said she has suffered her time at WVU. “I love WVU’s quality of education but have been very disappointed with the quality of life,” she said. “I am truly disappointed it took the school this long to try and enforce such an important policy.” The ban does not extend to WVU’s divisional campuses, but the president has the authority to eventually expand it to these campuses. A similar policy has already been implemented on the WVU Health Sciences Campus. A section in the policy supports the use of tobacco cessation programs to help University employees quit smoking. Employees may be eligible to participate in programs for free, and students are eligible to utilize all cessation programs through WELLWVU.

lege Board’s 2011 report on trends in higher education pricing. That rate is higher than in previous decades: In the 1980s, tuition increased at about 4.5 percent each year, and in the 1990s at 3.2 percent. “Obviously we’re at a period of economic instability at the state level, so you’ll see among public institutions the increases in tuition and fees are a lot of times a function of declines in state support,” said Bryan Cook, director of the Center for Policy Analysis at the American Council on Education. “So we’ve not been surprised in seeing increases in tuition.” Certain states have been harder hit than others. Five of the 33 public universities with the highest net price, for example, are in Ohio. Six public universities in Georgia saw tuition increases that were higher than 40 percent. The University of California in Berkeley and Los Angeles also saw big price jumps. The data released by the Education Department goes up until the 2010-11 school year, and in some states, tuition increased again last

year. Cook advised students to look at the data in context: Some schools with big rate increases, for example, still have tuition that is below the nationwide average. “I think there is more comprehensive information that could be provided contextual information that could be provided for these lists if we really want to provide students and families with the most information to make a good decision about going to college,” he said. There were some bright spots in the data. Community colleges, Duncan noted, remain one of the most consistently affordable options for higher education: The average net price of a community college increased by less than 1 percent between 2007 and 2009. Tuition, room and board average $8,085 at a public, two-year institution in 2010. “While community colleges have mostly done their part, there is much more the rest of us can and should be doing,” Duncan said. “Keeping college affordable is a shared responsibility.”

Bonnaroo highlights the best of entertainment by jeremiah yates

many areas that I was unable to visit. For example, my fiance and I wanted to go to the Silent Disco, which was a dance hall where everyone danced and listened to music through headphones – no music could be heard by passers-by. It was funny to see a huge crowd people dancing to no music. Though we wanted to partake in this, we never found the time (and the popularity for the Silent Disco usually produced an enormous line). Bonnaroo is truly a music lover’s paradise. Walking through CenterRoo (the main festival area) usually ends with at least a couple of fun surprises, such as an unannounced performance by Jacob Hemphill of the reggae band SOJA at the Relix magazine tent. The headliners for this year’s Bonnaroo were nothing short of amazing. Radiohead’s stage show was the largest and most impressive of the weekend. The band played mostly newer songs, but satisfied long time fans with a few older ones – the set ended with my personal favorite, “Paranoid Android.” The Red Hot Chili Peppers gave a phenomenal performance as well. The band’s new guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer, had the opportunity to prove to the large crowd why he was worthy of filling the shoes of RHCP veteran John Frusciante, who departed in 2009. The band played many favorites, including “Under the Bridge,” “Suck My Kiss” and “Give it Away,” as well as

Once my weekend at the 2012 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. was over, the only question I had to ask was … why was this my first? The entire weekend was a blast. There was much to see and many activities catered to a variety of interests. According to festival organizers, the 80,000 festival-goers at Bonnaroo increased the population of Manchester to the seventh most populated city in the United States. Upon entering the festival grounds for the first time, it was obvious that it was the most well-organized music festival I had ever attended. Prior to Bonnaroo, I had been to several smaller festivals, all of which were fun, but many important amenities were unavailable to the crowd, such as free water. Bonnaroo‘s organizers made sure that no one was dehydrated. There were multiple water stations in convenient locations where festival-goers could fill their water bottles for free. For anyone who has run out of water during a summer festival, this is an awesome feature. I heard that the festival was big, and there were a lot of activities, but I underestimated the sheer magnitude of the event. For one, there is no way to see everything. Although I was able to check out many artists who I have been waiting to see for quite a while, there were still

The band was scheduled to perform the Friday late night set from 2–4 a.m., but surprised fans with a tweener set from Big

Gigantic at 4 a.m. and went back on stage and rocked until 6 a.m. This was Umphrey’s Mcgee’s sixth Bonnaroo appearance, and it was clear why the band is asked to come back again and again. The Saturday late night was the only letdown for me. Having been impressed by other elec-

tronic acts such as Bassnectar and Pretty Lights, I was excited to see Skrillex perform. His show was good, but not great. His light show wasn’t as creative as I anticipated and he ended his show 15 minutes early. Because Umphrey’s McGee went all out during its late-night set, I expected Skrillex to go above

and beyond as well. Unfortunately, he fell short. All in all, the weekend was a success, and I encourage anyone who has not been to Bonnaroo to make sure they attend next year – you won’t be disappointed. jeremiah.yates@mail.wvu.edu

Black doctors see hope in Disney’s ‘Doc McStuffins’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — A pigtailed girl whose favorite accessory is a pink stethoscope has become a symbol of pride and hope for black women in medicine and the daughters they want to inspire. Doc McStuffins, the African-American title character of an animated TV series for children, dreams of becoming an M.D. and, for now, runs a cheerful home clinic for stuffed animals and dolls. “I haven’t lost a toy yet!” Doc exclaims as she hugs a blue dinosaur in need of attention. For Dr. Myiesha Taylor, who watches Disney Channel’s “Doc McStuffins” with her 4-yearold, Hana, the show sends a much-needed message to minority girls about how big their ambitions can be. “It’s so nice to see this child of color in a starring role, not just in the supporting cast. It’s all about her,” Taylor said. “And she’s an aspiring intellectual professional, not a singer or dancer or athlete.” So Taylor sent a message back, creating an online col-

lage featuring an image of the buoyant Doc encircled by photos of 131 black women who are Doc’s real life-counterparts, most garbed in their scrubs or doctor’s coats. “We are trailblazers,” Taylor proclaimed on her website. “We are women of color. We are physicians. We ARE role-models. We are Doc McStuffins all grown up!” For black women whose own wish to practice medicine came true, the show is welcome affirmation. The doctors shown in the collage are graduates of schools including Harvard, Yale and Stanford and work in a range of specialties such as neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery and psychiatry. Taylor is a board-certified emergency room physician. According to the American Medical Association’s “Physician Characteristics and Distribution in the U.S., 2012 Edition,” there were 18,533 black female physicians in 2010, or less than 2 percent of a total of 985,375 U.S. doctors, including nearly 300,000 female phy-

sicians. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, blacks make up 12.3 percent of the population at about 40 million, with more than half of them women. “When we made her an African-American girl, we hoped it would be a positive role model that wasn’t really out there and would be great for little girls,” said series creator Chris Nee, who said she was encouraged by Disney from the start to create Doc as a minority character. “What has been surprising is the strength of the reaction and that it’s from adults.” She hopes the series resonates with all the girls who watch it, she added, citing worrisome studies that females start to develop negative attitudes about science at a young age. Dr. Leah Backhus, 38, appreciates Doc and more in the show. A cardiothoracic surgeon at the University of Washington and mom to daughter Sydney, 7, and son Ryan, 5, Backhus values the reflection of her profession and her family, with a husband who takes a big share of

responsibility for housework. “It’s incredibly reassuring for Sydney to see that and know that her family sits into the general definition of what family can be like,” Backhus said. “It’s not so unique. It’s something really pretty cool.” The show’s positive depiction of an African-American family, so rare for children’s TV, can have a “tremendous impact,” she added. Diversity has blossomed in kids’ TV in recent years, with minority characters part of series including Nickelodeon’s “Dora the Explorer” and “Ni Hao, Kai-lan,” Disney’s “Handy Manny” and “Shake It Up,” and PBS Kids’ “Maya & Miguel” and “Word Girl.” The power of TV role models, even animated ones, is undeniable, said Kevin Clark, founder and director of George Mason University’s Center for Digital Media Innovation and Diversity. “Because children of color (African American and Latino) spend the most time viewing television, it is important to

have programming that represents them, their surroundings, as well as their dreams and aspirations,” Clark said in an email. Taylor, 38, who works in Dallas-area suburbs as an ER specialist at Texas Regional Medical Center and as a physician supervisor at a manufacturing plant, built her career on family tradition: Her mother was a registered nurse, and Taylor’s grandmother was a vocational nurse. “When I came along, my mom said, `You should be a doctor. That’s the next step,’” Taylor recalled. (She was inspired to pursue ER medicine after her father, Dwight Taylor, was among the first bystanders shot in the 1992 Los Angeles riots and was taken to a hospital without a trauma center, where he died. He was 42.) For daughter Hana, Taylor said, “Doc McStuffins” is reinforcement of what mom has accomplished. “I see her engage and play with her toys (like a doctor) because it’s normal,” Taylor said.

“It’s even more awesome when people ask her, `What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and she says, `A doctor.’” “Doc McStuffins,” which is produced for children ages 2 to 7 by Ireland-based Brown Bag Films and airs on the Disney Channel and on the new 24hour Disney Junior channel, recently was renewed for its second season. Doc is voiced by Kiara Muhammad, with Loretta Devine in the cast as a smart plush hippo named Hallie. Taylor, whose family with husband William Schlitz also includes daughter Haley, 9, and son Ian, 6, wants even more from children’s TV. She sees too few characters of color in starring roles and too many black characters who aspire to entertainment, sports or fashion industry success, not education and a career that benefits others. Children need to see an alternate to LeBron and Beyonce, she said: “There’s not enough imagery on television to show kids and their parents there are other paths to follow.”

Judge grants actor Jeff Goldblum three-year stay-away order LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge ordered a woman who has repeatedly tried to contact Jeff Goldblum for the past decade to stay away from the actor for the next three years. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carol Boas Goodson issued the order Tuesday in Los Angeles against Linda Ransom after a contentious hearing in which the woman repeatedly raised her voice to the judge. Ransom claims she is trying to pursue a case against one of Goldblum’s employees, but Goodson told her that didn’t give her the right to repeatedly go to the actor’s home and try to meet him at public performances.

“Mr. Goldblum is being harassed because the legal system is negligently violating my rights,” Ransom said. “This harassment is going to stop,” Goodson told Ransom. As she explained the terms of the order – that Ransom must stay 100 yards away from Goldblum and his home, and refrain from contacting him for three years – Ransom continued yelling. “I must say you are acting irrationally in court,” the judge said. “Mr. Goldblum does not want you near him.” Goodson issued her order without attorneys for Goldblum having to say a word. She relied on declarations from

Goldblum, police and security officials in which they described Ransom’s conduct in recent years. Goldblum received a temporary restraining order in May after Ransom repeatedly went to the home of the “Jurassic Park” and “Independence Day” star. The actor wrote in his petition that Ransom has been harassing him for a decade. Police say she has told them that

she will not stop trying to meet Goldblum unless a restraining order is in place. “Over the past decade, I have experienced substantial emotional distress due to Ms. Ransom’s continuous stalking, harassing, and threatening behavior,” Goldblum wrote in a sworn court declaration filed in May. He did not attend Tuesday’s hearing. Ransom has claimed one of Goldblum’s employees at-

tacked her and that she wanted to file a case, but was unable to find an attorney willing to represent her. Goldblum’s filings stated Ransom has been arrested three times for violating previ-

ous restraining orders and has been placed in psychiatric care. The actor says he first alerted authorities to her in 2001 after she attended one of his acting classes and began waiting outside his home.

Speak up on important campus issues Beginning July 2013, West Virginia University will be a tobacco-free campus. With this new policy, WVU will be joining hundreds of its peer institutions across the country that already have similar policies in place seeking to create a healthier environment for students. Although this change is good for the health of WVU students and faculty, many are concerned that it infringes

upon the freedoms of tobacco users. Critics argue that individuals should have the freedom to make unhealthy decisions regarding their own lives, as long as they aren’t harming anyone else. For this reason, many are upset the new ban goes beyond banning smoking and includes a prohibition on smokeless tobacco. Students who are upset by

this new regulation should have made an effort to speak up sooner. There have been multiple forums on the topic of a campuswide smoking ban, most of which had very low turnouts. It wasn’t until after the ban passed that many students began voicing their opinions on it. Obviously, at this point in the process, it is too late. The reality is, the new policy was instituted because a

vocal group of students raised awareness about the harmful nature of tobacco and second-hand smoke and they ultimately were able to win over a majority of people to agree with them. However, most of the students who disagreed with the policy were quiet about the issue and did not show concern. The forums held on campus regarding this issue lacked

adequate participation and produced little information for those creating the policy. This highlights the need for students to be more proactive in shaping decisions made for the WVU community. While the ban has already passed and will go into effect next year, let this serve as a lesson to the student body. If you want your voice heard on a particular issue, take advantage of the opportunities

to speak up when they arise. If you don’t and you disagree with policies that are ultimately adopted, you have no right to complain. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

WVU BOG only got it half right with tobacco ban aman mcwilliams guest columnist

The notoriously controversial smoking and tobacco ban is now an impending reality for the entire West Virginia University campus, officially commencing July 1st, 2013. To be blunt, this ban is undoubtedly a statute with good intentions to appease the presumably cleanair loving majority who do not smoke. But on account of banning smokeless tobacco that directly harms no one other than the user, this ban is an infringement on essential liberties. Way back when the price of gasoline was less than $2 per gallon, I had a teacher with such incredibly repugnant breath that I wasn’t sure who was suffering more, her, or every other sentient being within range of her fetor exhalations. In economics, we call this a “negative externality”, which is when part of the costs from an action fall on someone who did not agree to such costs. Examples include sitting next to a person in class with some serious body odor, and more pertinent for the current discussion, air pollution, of which walking through a cloud of someone’s cigarette smoke serves as an acute, and disgusting, example. Given the checkered history of tobacco products, which are chock-full of cancer-causing carcinogens, it makes sense that legislative action would be taken against their presence

in a public place. To ban tobacco products that cause negative externalities in the form of smoke is done rightly so, but not on account of democracy. Democracy is nothing but mob-rule, or, tyranny of the majority. If democracy were to exist in an unfettered state, we could reinstitute slavery on account of majority rule. John Adams heeded us to “remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself”. Because of this foresight, in the United States democracy is not unfettered, and is bound by the Bill of Rights that protects the rights of the minority. The rationale for such protection can be seen in Benjamin Franklin’s remark that “democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!” However, protecting the rights of the minority, too, can be dangerous. Many times in the United States a passionate minority can easily win out over a largely apathetic (or not as well funded interest group) majority, as is the case with tobacco’s own past. It is not prudent to base ethical decisions on the whims of the majority or the vested interest of the minority. Slavery is wrong, arguably, on account that it violates “inalienable rights” - fundamental principles such as freedom and liberty. Smoke in the air, too, is wrong on account that it violates the principle of freedom from negative externalities like smoke. Since, as Plato puts it “a state

arises, as I conceive, out of the needs of mankind; no one is self-sufficing, but all of us have many wants”, it is ideal (even in anarchy!) that some governing institution be the enforcer and protector of our “inalienable rights”. For esoteric reasons that I shall spare you from for another time, the only justifiable role of government is the protection of negative rights and principles. That means you have the freedom from someone trying to murder you, steal from you, and from them breathing cancer-causing smoke on you. Also, you have the right to do whatever you wish to do until you infringe on the rights of others. Smokeless tobacco, however, does not infringe on the rights of anyone else, and for this reason it is readily obvious that the decision to ban not just smoke tobacco, but also smokeless tobacco was not based on principle; to argue for a ban on smoke tobacco on the principle that it violates a persons inalienable right from harm, from smoke, it would be self-contradictory to ban smokeless tobacco for it does not violate the inalienable rights of others. What I’m saying is that the WVU Board of Governors got it half right. They banned smoke tobacco probably because of popular opinion. However, banning smokeless tobacco was wrong - an infringement on essential liberties. If the University has the authority to make decisions over actions that directly harm no one other than the individual

causing me to lose focus, fail a class, and drop out - resulting in less money for the University! I’m with Jefferson when he said, “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty

than to those attending too small a degree of it”, even if it means having to tolerate annoying things that don’t directly affect me like smokeless tobacco, or a girl with a horribly orange spray-on tan.

Air disasters can be avoided Tobacco ban a step forward for WVU divine nwafor guest columnist

The house of representatives of the Republic of Nigeria announced it will carry out an independent investigation concerning the unforeseen Dana Air crash that occurred Sunday, June 3. According to CNN.com, Dana Air crashed into a densely populated neighborhood in Iju-Ishaga, Lagos, after the pilot radioed an emergency landing. All 153 passengers and crew members on board the aircraft died, including 10 more when the aircraft made impact with a twostory building. Accidents do happen of course, but was this inevitable? No, all 153 passengers and crew members aboard the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 plane would have avoided this illfated tragedy if firm aviation precautions were considered. Aircrafts older than 20 years should no longer be flown. Critics may argue the price to obtain an aircraft is extremely high, but compared to a human life: Which is more important, an aircraft or the lives of its passengers? According to the Nigerian Tribune, Dana Air’s McDonnell Douglas MD83 was 22 years old. This exceeds the age limit in Nigeria, but Dana Air still decided to purchase the plane from Alaska Air, which reported that the aircraft developed a number of faults before it was sold. The Nigerian government must ensure that all

DA THEDAONLINE.COM

used planes that are more than 10 years old are immediately banned from flying in the country to save Nigerians and other citizens of the world from air disasters. The management of the defaulting airlines must be made to face the full wrath of the law, even as the National Assembly should look at ways of amending relevant laws to impose heavy fines on airline operators in Nigeria whose operations jeopardize the safety of passengers. For Nigeria and other developing countries to get it right in ensuring the safety of the sector, the federal government should publish the white paper of all previous air crash incidents, identify and prosecute persons involved and ensure that these persons are sanctioned to serve as a deterrent to others. The fact the aviation industry is unsafe should concern the government, because if passengers should lose faith in the local airlines, then that segment of the nation’s economy will suffer irreparable loss, leading to mass unemployment. Also, there is the need to declare a state of emergency in the aviation industry and to ensure strict enforcement of safety operational standards is maintained. The lethargy on the part of government officials to enforce strict safety standards in the aviation sector is worrisome. Why did the Ministry of Aviation go to bed with and allow private airline operators to toy with the lives of humans because, as many aviation experts have observed, most of

the planes flying our airspace have aged and are not properly maintained? Let me warn that we cannot afford to sleep at the switch this time. To go to sleep after a few weeks and return to our normal lives will be most tragic. The present government must put on the front burner the issue of sanitizing the aviation system and ensuring aircrafts are in good shape before authorizing them to fly. The Federal Aviation Administration lists pilot error as the leading cause of plane accidents, but pilot error is almost always part of a chain of events that starts with something like an iced-up wing, a piece of equipment that fails or a close encounter on a runway. The Federal Aviation Administration should ensure that pilots undergo evasive training on decision making if an aircraft should be flown even if it has minor technical difficulties. It is painfully clear the Nigerian aviation sector needs a comprehensive overhaul. Any investigation into the crash of the Dana aircraft must raise these inevitable questions: What was the state of the aircraft? How airworthy was it before it began the ill-fated trip? Has the airline been lax in the maintenance of aircraft on its fleet as well as other safety measures? My heart wails for all the lives lost in this tragic event, and I hope that the aviation sector of Nigeria imposes strict obligations on aircrafts’ owners to prevent such disasters from occurring.

University officials should be congratulated for assertively addressing tobacco use on campus. West Virginia leads the U.S. in smoking and is second in the use of smokeless tobacco. Increasingly, higher education institutions are taking steps to reduce tobacco use and promote better health. Beginning July 2013, tobacco use will be banned on WVU’s campus as a result of an updated policy adopted by the WV Board of Governors. The policy expands the tobacco-free policy adopted by the Health Sciences campus in June 2010. The revised policy was carefully studied for many months, and the long lead time allows everyone to prepare for the change. WVU will be joining the more than 700 campuses nationwide that have gone smoke-free. By adopting a smoke-free and tobacco-free campus, WVU leaders promote a healthy environment and a progressive image for the University. Students’ and employees’ complaints about smoking drifting into air conditioning ducts and about being forced to walk through clouds of smoke to enter campus buildings should come to an end next summer once the tobacco-free policy is enacted. Research shows that tobacco-free policies reduce smoking initiation, increase quit attempts and reduce exposure to secondhand smoke. Studies suggest that fewer stu-

dents will take up smoking once they aren’t regularly exposed. WVU’s new policy will also minimize cigarette butt litter on campus and the costs associated with clean up. WVU also sets an example for other colleges and universities in the state. Smoking on college campuses has become a public health concern and campuswide smoking bans have become increasingly more prevalent nationwide. Later this year, West Virginia Northern Community College will ban tobacco use on its campuses in Wheeling, Weirton and New Martinsville, joining the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg as the only other WV institutions of higher learning to make their campuses smoke-free. Successful implementation of the new campuswide tobacco ban will require ample marketing, adequate signage and regular enforcement. Consistent communication about the policy will be essential and will require commitment from all levels of leadership from President Clements, deans and directors, supervisors to resident assistants in the dorms. University Police officers should be called upon to help inform violators of the new policy. These campus officials are trained to work with students and they have extensive expertise in promoting a safe and positive campus environment. The new policy respects the wishes of the majority of students, faculty, staff and visitors who are not smokers. Yet, we must be compassionate toward tobacco users who will be affected by the change. On-

site cessation services should be available for student, staff and faculty tobacco users who may be prompted to quit as a result of the policy. As a University community, we need to be good neighbors and plan for any impact the policy change might have on nearby residents and businesses. The new policy banning the use of tobacco products at WVU allows for some exemptions for large-scale events that attract sizable numbers of offcampus visitors with approval of the vice president for Administration and Finance. Waivers to the ban should be issued carefully, and we recommend eliminating that provision after a year or two. A large majority of those who use tobacco products become addicted, and West Virginia leads the nation in tobacco use. The tobacco-free campus policy supports WVU’s strategic goal to enhance the well-being and quality of life of the people of West Virginia, and it showcases the University’s commitment to students’ and employees’ health. Campus smoking bans promote better health, reduce litter and help prepare students for the increasing number of smoke-free workplaces. We extend our thanks to all WVU leaders and officials who have come together to support the health interests of the Mountaineer community. Frey-McClung is the Assistant Director of the Translational Tobacco Research Center. Geri Dino is the Director of the WV Prevention Research Center and a professor in the WVU Department of Community Medicine.

Hazel Ruby McQuain Park on the waterfront was transformed into the Arts Alive festival, celebrating many different types of arts this past weekend. Vendors, tents and music filled the grassy areas surrounding the Rail to Trails near the amphitheater starting Friday evening. Arts Alive welcomed many hometown musical acts including Keller Williams, Black Coffee and Shady Grove. “Our acoustic set was a little different than the 123 Pleasant Street shows. Sunday was pretty laid-back and focused more on the lyrics of songs and setting the groove a little different,” said Ryan Krofchek, lead singer and guitar player for Shady Grove. Shady Grove is the acoustic side to the local band Fletcher’s Grove, who performed at Arts Alive last year. “The hot weather didn’t bother me as much has the hangover I had the night before from the Super Jam and hanging out on the river all day. I think I can speak for everyone that was at the Super Jam and who came out the next day,” Krofcheck said. In addition to the music, Arts Alive also celebrated different types of physical activity. Bliss Bliss Bliss, a local massage and yoga studio held several yoga classes

Saturday. “I taught a core strength vinyasa class, balancing postures were a bit more difficult as we were on uneven earth versus a beautiful hardwood floor,” said Melita Mollohan, Bowenwork Practitioner and yoga teacher at Zen From Within. “It was definitely hot vinyasa by nature,” said Mollohan about the hot weather on Saturday. Adding a different twist to making a smoothie was Positive Spin and the blender bike, created by Positive Spin founder Nick Hein. Attendees of Arts Alive had an opportunity to have a smoothie made by the bicycle-powered blender. Other beverage vendors included West Virginia wineries Vu Je De Vineyardsand Heston Farms, while food vendors include Jersey’s Subs, Chico’s Fat Burritos and Zul’s Lemonade. “I think it’s great that there were so many local businesses and artists. It’s great to help spread the word about anything local. I wish there were more food options though,” Mollohan said. Arts Alive of Morgantown encourages West Virginia residents to keep the momentum going strong in and support FestivALL Charleston “A City Becomes A Work Of Art” June 15-24, which will include 10 days of performances, concerts and exhibits all over Charleston. caitlin.graziani@mail.wvu.edu

WVU names Mazey baseball coach by michael carvelli sports editor

Almost three weeks after announcing that former head coach Greg Van Zant would not be returning for the 2013 season, West Virginia announced that it would be hiring TCU associate head coach Randy Mazey to take over the program as it moves into the Big 12 Conference. “I’m expecting big strides right away,” Mazey said. “I’m

guilty of saying that you can win anywhere if you just get after it. As long as we get better e ver y day and better than the Mazey game before, I will be satisfied. “You can’t control wins and losses. You can only control attitude and effort.”

Before the time he spent at TCU for the last six years, Mazey was the head coach at East Carolina and Charleston Southern. In his six seasons as a head coach, Mazey’s teams made the NCAA regionals four times and in 2004, his East Carolina team won 51 games and played in the Super Regionals. He has also been able to take teams that weren’t expected to be very successful and turn them into winners.

In his final season at Charleston Southern, his team was picked to finish last in the Big South Conference. They went on to win the league and earn a trip to regionals. He sees no reason why the Mountaineers can’t have this type of success early on in his tenure in Morgantown. “I’m going to make an outside guess and say that West Virginia is going to be picked similar to where Charleston

Southern was picked – which is an advantage,” Mazey said. “When you’re an underdog, there’s some excitement involved in that. “Everybody loves the underdog, and I think that’s what we’re going to be for a while. I think that’s going to help us until we establish ourselves.” One of the things Mazey stressed the new staff would have to do in order to have success early in the Big 12 will be to hit the ground run-

Sophomore RB Garrison getting closer to returning to action by michael carvelli sports editor

As Dustin Garrison stared out the window of the bus taking the West Virginia football team to Sun Life Stadium for the Discover Orange Bowl, he couldn’t help but think about what he was being forced to miss out on. Just days before the game, when the team was already in Miami practicing, Garrison suffered what he soon discovered to be a torn ACL and sprained MCL during a non-contact drill. He still remembered what it felt like when he got hurt. “It was like a freak accident. I took one step, then another and it was all gone,” Garrison said. “You make that same move every time; it just takes that one time to mess it all up. “I took the step, went down and heard everything and, for a couple seconds, I didn’t feel much. Then it just hit me.” He sat on the bus, knowing he was

going to be forced to watch the biggest game of his life from the sidelines. He admitted it was a tough pill to swallow. “It was me and (senior linebacker) Terence Garvin; he got hurt also. He grabbed me by the shoulder and told me it was going to be alright,” Garrison said. “He knew exactly how I felt. It was hard (watching the game from the sidelines), but we had to be proud.” The injury made Garrison think differently about the game that he had been playing since he was six. He said knowing the game that he and his teammates love so much could be taken away at any time made him realize you can never take anything for granted. “I remember asking (redshirt freshmen receivers Dante Campbell and K.J. Myers), ‘What if you couldn’t play the game?’ ” Garrison said. “I never really thought about things like that until I got hurt.

Workouts shouldn’t have impact on KJ’s NBA future michael carvelli sports editor

Kevin Jones has two things working against him as he prepares for the NBA draft. He’s not going to amaze a lot of scouts with his athleticism or the way he measures up to other prospects during his workouts, and as an undersized power forward, he doesn’t really have the consistency in his perimeter game to make himself a stretch power forward at the next level. Frankly, those were two of the reasons that he wasn’t overly impressive during last week’s NBA draft combine. But West Virginia’s all-Big East Conference forward isn’t

the type of player whose draft stock was going to benefit from the combine, mostly for those reasons. Things like that are great for athletic players like Vanderbilt’s Jeffery Taylor, who is beginning to move higher up draft boards after an impressive showing in Chicago. It’s happened in the past and will continue to happen in the future in both the NBA and the NFL. The players who go to the combines and can show off tremendous athletic abilities will always be looked at as a better pick than a player like Jones because it looks like they have more upside. History has also shown us that that isn’t always true. Take another former Mountaineer, Joe Alexander, for example.

Alexander used an amazing stretch during the 2008 Big East tournament and West Virginia’s Sweet 16 run in the NCAA tournament to get his foot in the door of the NBA draft’s first round. In the final 10 games of the season, he averaged 23.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. Then, after wowing scouts with a combine workout that had him near the top of just about every fitness test he participated in, Alexander skyrocketed into the lottery where he was selected No. 8 overall by the Milwaukee Bucks. After bouncing around the NBA and the Developmental League while battling injuries, Alexander found himself with BC Krasnye Krylya Samara in Russia last season. He is the perfect example of

a player who looked great at the right time: The great stretch at the end of the college basketball season, the great measurements and phenomenal combine workout made him look like a solid NBA player to a lot of teams. Things just didn’t work out. Jones isn’t a workout warrior like Alexander was. He ranked in the bottom three among power forwards in the combine in almost every athletic test. His standing vertical jump was tied for the sixth shortest in the combine, and the only test he finished high was the 185-pound bench press. Jones had 17 reps and was only second to Alabama’s JaMychal Green’s 19 reps. But even though his workout

WVU issues RFP for third-tier media rights by michael carvelli

Sophomore running back Dustin Garrison ran for 742 yards and six touchdowns in his first season at West Virginia, but was held out of the Orange Bowl after tearing his ACL a few days before the game.

ning on the recruiting trail. He said that moving to the new conference won’t just help the Mountaineers start a new pipeline in the Midwest, it can make their recruiting even stronger where they’ve already established good connections in the past. “Being the northern-most team in the Big 12 is going to be attractive to kids who want the opportunity to play

West Virginia University has issued a Request for Proposals for its third-tier athletic media rights. And it could mean a big payday is in the University’s future. The current third-tier media provider is the Mountaineer Sports Network, which is owned by the University. Deputy Athletic Director Mike Parsons oversees the network. It focuses on audio, digital and video rights. It is rare, though, for Universities to operate as its own provider. But with signing a thirdtier media rights partner, also comes sacrifice. West Virginia will be giving up its rights to a significant amount of assets it currently controls. The RFP, which was obtained by The Daily Athenaeum, lists a wide variety of the different assets available by WVU. West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck declined to comment about the RFP Tuesday afternoon. The RFP lists marketing rights, on premise signage, event marketing rights, tickets, video (TV) content rights, audio (radio) content rights, print rights, and digital rights as assets. It’s signage and eventmarketing rights, currently operated in-house by two full-time staff members, could be outsourced. In addition to marketing rights, ticketing rights are also listed in the RFP. The WVU ticketing department employs a staff of six. Companies such as Learfield and IMG College have taken over the college media and marketing landscape. IMG works with more than 80 schools, while Learfield works with 50 schools as well as the Big Ten, Western Athletic and Missouri Valley Conferences. Learfield signed a deal earlier this year with the University of Wisconsin that would net it $52.5 million dollars through 2019. N.C. State signed a 10-year, $49

million deal earlier this year with Learfield. In 2009, The University of Georgia signed an eight-year agreement with IMG College (formerly known as ISP Sports) valued at $92.8 million. “We’re going to look at it and see what the market says about that,” said Athletic Director Oliver Luck following a Coaches Caravan last month. “It’s one of those things that as financial stewards of the University, we’re really obligated to see what the marketplace says to us about our third-tier rights.” West Virginia, however, still could go with the option of keeping the Mountaineer Sports Network for digital rights and going after a partner such as Comcast or Root Sports for third-tier television rights. Or it could simply outsource radio or marketing rights. Big 12 member Iowa State will launch Cyclone. tv this fall as its new digital network. The subscription-based service will show football games, as well as non-revenue sports. Kansas State did the same thing last year with it’s own digital network, K-StateHD.TV Four Big 12 schools currently work with IMG in come capacity, while five (including Iowa State and Kansas State) use Learfield. The changing landscape of college athletics, as well as the recent move to the Big 12 Conference could make West Virginia a more valuable commodity for thirdtier rights than it has been in the past. In 2009, the WVU Board of Governors questioned how revenue gained through MSN compared to other Universities across the nation. At the time, Parsons said the athletic department was able to bring in roughly $2.8 million from MSN. “West Virginia is not your typical media marketplace,” Parsons said to the BOG in 2009. “From our perspective, we do quite well for the 1.8 million people we have in our [state] population.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Huggins adds BC transfer Humphrey by michael carvelli sports editor

Former Boston College guard Matt Humphrey will transfer to West Virginia. After completing his undergraduate degree at Boston College last year, Humphrey will be eligible to come and play immediately for West Virginia. He was the lone upperclassman to start on a young Boston College team that finished 9-22 last season. As a junior, he averaged 30 minutes and 10.3 points per game. “His size and length will definitely make us a better defensive team on the perimeter and should help us create

matchup problems for opposing defenses,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins in a statement from the University. “He will give us another 3-point threat, which will enable us to stretch defenses and open up the posts for our inside guys.” Humphrey played his first two seasons at Oregon before transferring to BC following his sophomore year. He made seven starts in his two seasons with the Ducks and averaged 5.4 points in more than 16 minutes per game as a sophomore. “Matt will give us much-

Andrew Luck returns to Colts field after long absence INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck couldn’t wait to start his new job, and the Indianapolis Colts couldn’t wait to get him back on the field. On Tuesday, both sides finally got their wish. After a 5½-week absence from the Colts’ offseason workouts, the No. 1 overall draft pick showed up in a red No. 12 jersey and started showing everyone what he’d learned while attending his final classes at Stanford. “I’m just trying to soak everything in, and I’m starting to have a good understanding of what’s going on here,” Luck said after Tuesday morning’s light onehour workout. Admittedly, he’s still trying to master the playbook, get on the same page with his new teammates and figure out how to get around Indianapolis. But none of that mattered Tuesday as dozens of reporters, photographers and television cameras monitored each pass Luck threw. Vice president and general counsel Dan Emerson, who has been negotiating Luck’s contract, watched the first half of a two-hour afternoon practice. Team owner Jim Irsay and two of his three daughters watched the second half of the afternoon session from a golf cart. What everyone saw was a nearly flawless performance. Luck connected on his first 12 throws in the morning team

Especially if he falls to a team with some pieces in place that just needs to find a role player to tie everything together. Jones can be the perfect role player for a lot of teams in the league. He won’t be a guy that you’ll need to count

Rookie quarterback Andrew Luck was selected first overall by the Indianapolis Colts in the 2012 NFL draft. drill and only one of 16 passes hit the ground – a ball that hit rookie tight end Dwayne Allen in the chest and ricocheted to the ground. Coach Chuck Pagano noted that Luck didn’t make a single mental mistake. Griff Whalen and Coby Fleener, who worked out with fellow alumnus Luck at

on to score a lot of points – but considering where he’ll be drafted, that won’t be something the team will need him to do. That team will be looking for a player who is going to work hard, do the little things and help the team win games. Now you tell me, does any player sound like a better fit for that job description than Kevin Jones? I don’t think so. And that’s why he’ll find

Stanford over the past month, said Luck seemed as calm and in control as he was in college. “He’s one of the greatest learners I’ve ever met and he’s already up to speed,” said Fleener, Indy’s second-round draft pick in April.

a place in the league. Teams don’t pay you for how high you can jump or how many times you can bench press 185 pounds (ask Kevin Durant), they pay players for coming in and getting the job done on the court. That’s something Jones did for four years at West Virginia, and I’d put a lot of money on him being able to go out and do the same thing in the NBA. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

with the exception of one threeday rookie camp, which ended May 6. Indy promised to do anything it could to help Luck – video conferences, conference calls, even using Irsay’s private jet to ferry players around the country for individual workouts. The NFL nixed all of it until Luck finished

“It’s a fun game, I enjoy playing it; we all do. If we couldn’t play football, it’d be horrible.” After his surgery, Garrison began his rehab and recovery. It wasn’t hard to find him on a stationary bike throughout most of spring practice. By the end of the spring, the Pearland, Texas, native had been cleared to start running with his teammates. He’s now doing almost ev-

his final two architectural design courses last Thursday. The resourceful Luck came up with a solution: Using his free time in the morning to hone his football skills, while blocking out the afternoons for classwork. It wasn’t the way Luck wanted to start his pro career. “I’d wake up and have a serious lack of motivation to go to class, so I’d work out in the mornings, then eat lunch and go to class in the afternoon,” Luck said. “I think I managed to learn the playbook a bit.” What he needs now is repetition. In morning team drills, Luck hooked up repeatedly with veteran receiver Austin Collie and threw his final couple of passes to perennial Pro Bowl receiver Reggie Wayne. The afternoon session focused primarily on individual work, and Luck overthrew both veterans three times, all on deep patterns. Indy is scheduled to hold another workout Wednesday afternoon in front of fans at Lucas Oil Stadium before wrapping up the mini-camp Thursday. It’s already clear to Pagano and others around the team complex that Luck is everything they expected. “The guy’s off the charts for football IQ,” Pagano said. “He came in over the weekend and we had a little session Monday

with the rookies, which league rules allow, and he hasn’t missed a beat.” Luck was dubbed the most NFL-ready quarterback since Manning before the 2011 draft. But instead of taking the money and jumping to the NFL, Luck went back for one more season at Stanford and had the Cardinal in the BCS title hunt until a November loss to Oregon. A month later, he finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting for the second straight year. The Colts became the frontrunner for Luck’s services when Manning missed the entire season after having neck surgery, and the Colts wound up a league-worst 2-14. Irsay cut ties with Manning on March 7, releasing the four-time league MVP rather than pay him a $28 million bonus, clearing the way for Luck’s ballyhooed arrival. “I think I have to earn the face of the franchise stuff,” he said. “I have to learn as much as I can to help these guys win games and get back to the playoffs.” Luck plans to make one more trip to the West Coast, for this weekend’s graduation ceremonies at Stanford. After that, he’ll focus solely on football. “I have no obligations after mini-camp outside of football,” he said. “So I’ll focus on football and we’ll have to get some work in after the OTAs (offseason team activities) end.”

next season, meaning the Mountaineers are currently one over the limit they are allowed to have on the roster with the addition of the Chicago native – one of the other 13 players currently on scholarship. Of the three incoming freshmen in next season’s class, Elijah Macon is the only one who has yet to enroll. His head coach at Huntington Prep (W.Va.), Rob Fulford,

told The Daily Athenaeum that Macon is currently taking classes to improve grades from when he attended MarionFranklin High School in Columbus, Ohio. Fulford said he will need three summer classes with “very good” grades as well as improvement on his ACT score by a few more points. He took the test June 9.

erything his teammates can do when it comes to conditioning. He can’t make cuts yet, but that will come. As the season draws closer, so does Garrison’s return to the field. “Every time I’m here, when I’m at home, that’s all I’m thinking about,” Garrison said. “I’ll look out on that field, and I see myself getting back out there. It’s really motivation for me.” But when that time does come, when he gets to step on the field again, he doesn’t want to be handed anything

just because of what he did last season. If he’s going to see the field, he wants to earn his playing time. “I see myself in the back of the pack,” Garrison said. “I don’t want (head coach Dana Holgorsen) or (running backs coach Robert Gillespie) to put me up top right away. I want to earn my way back. I know (Andrew) Buie and Shawne (Alston) and the new guys have a lot to prove. “But so do I.”

During his time as a coach, Mazey has earned a reputation as a good pitching coach and a tireless recruiter. Before joining the staff at TCU, he served as the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach for a Tennessee team, which produced a pitcher who became a firstround pick during his time at the school. The Johnstown, Pa., native said he was in the good situation with the Horned Frogs, but he just couldn’t pass up

the chance to take over at West Virginia. “Fort Worth was a great place, but when this opportunity came along and I saw what (West Virginia Athletic Director) Oliver Luck’s vision was for the program, it became a no-brainer,” Mazey said. “It was something I just wanted to do, and I wanted to jump on board and see how far we can take this program.”

Carrier-Eades, O’Connell finish Maryland looks to rebound strong at NCAA championships after rough 2011 season by amit batra sports writer

Seniors Chelsea CarrierEades and Jessica O’Connell represented the West Virginia track and field team at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. The events took place from June 6-9. O’Connell competed in the 5,000-meter run finals, while Carrier-Eades took part in the 100-meter hurdles and the heptathlon. The heptathlon events included the 100-meter hurdles, the high jump, the shot put and the 200-meter dash on Thursday. On Friday, Carrier-Eades competed in the long jump, the javelin throw and the 800-meter run. Carrier-Eades qualified to advance to Saturday’s final in the 100-meter hurdles. She also was in fourth in the women’s heptathlon with 3,576 points Thursday. She finished in third place with a 12.78 distance in the 100-meter hurdles. It broke her career-best mark of 12.93. With the 12.78 mark, Carrier-Eades was able to earn first team AllAmerica honors. “Chelsea just finished off a tremendous day,” said WVU coach Sean Cleary following Thursday’s action. “The hurdles race she ran after a full day’s competition in the heptathlon was the

talk of the meet. A 12.78 is out of this world. A wind-aided 12.93 at the Big East Championships as a lifetime-best to a 12.78 is phenomenal.” Clemson’s Bridgette Owens and Brianna Rollins secured the top spots in the hurdles with a 12.71 and 12.73. In the heptathlon, CarrierEades tied for sixth in the high jump. Her height of 1.69 meters was good for 842 points. Action continued in the shot put where she finished in 13th place after a distance of 11.46 meters, earning her 625 points. The 200-meter dash saw Carrier-Eades finishing in 23.37 for 1,007 points. “Sitting fourth in the heptathlon but within striking distance of second is now the goal,” Cleary said. “She should come out with a vengeance tomorrow; she certainly has it within her grasp.” Friday, Carrier-Eades competed in the final three events of the heptathlon with the long jump, the javelin throw and 800-meter run. She ended up with a thirdplace finish after a season-best 5,839 points. It topped her previous season high at the Texas Relays of 5,821 points. “We are very proud of Chelsea’s last two days,” Cleary said. “The heptathlon brings with it so many emotions with seven events coming together for one end result. We felt that on a per-

The last day of action took place Saturday with CarrierEades competing in the 100-meter hurdles and O’Connell in the 5,000-meter run. Both concluded the 2012 season, Carrier-Eades finishing in seventh in the 100-meter hurdles with a 13.31. The winner was Ohio State’s Christina Manning with a 12.89. O’Connell placed 19th in the 5,000-meter run finals in 17:10:43. The winner of the event was Dartmouth’s Abbey D’Agostino. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

This fall, West Virginia and Maryland will continue one of the longest-running rivalries in college football when they meet at Mountaineer Field Sept. 22. Last season, both the Mountaineers and the Terrapins kicked off the latest chapters in their storied programs with new coaches at the helms, but the season’s cumulative results dictated that the two schools’ football programs may ultimately be headed in completely different directions. For head coach Dana Holgorsen and West Virginia, the coaching transition was a monumental success, with the Mountaineers finishing in a tie for first in the Big East conference to go along with a recordbreaking BCS bowl win that will forever echo in Mountaineer lore. But Maryland head coach Randy Edsall and the Terrapins’ lackluster 2-10 season didn’t exactly send shock waves through College Park. “I’ve been through this before,” Edsall said last November amidst the conclusion to a disappointing first year. “I know how to handle it. I know what to do. There is no panic. It was like this the first year when we put the team together in Jacksonville. It’s Connecticut all over again, 13 years ago. Jacksonville Jaguars all over again. It’s going to Boston College when we were there. “I’ve been through all of this. This isn’t earth-shattering. It doesn’t have me discouraged. I have a vision of what we’re going to do, and I know we’re doing things the right way.” Edsall’s confidence in his new team hasn’t necessarily been reciprocated by the program’s players, however. In fact, the Terrapins have lost at

least 25 roster incumbents to various circumstances since Edsall took control of the program early in 2011, including quarterback Danny O’Brien, who transferred to Wisconsin this February after taking a majority of the snaps under center for Maryland last season. Junior C.J. Brown, a dualthreat quarterback who saw action later on in last year’s season, is expected to be Maryland’s starting quarterback to open 2012, at least at this point, because he’s literally the only scholarship quarterback on the roster. In 2011, Brown passed for 842 yards with seven touchdowns, was the team’s second leading rusher with 574 yards, led the team with five rushing touchdowns and even broke the school’s single game rushing record. He will be accentuated by returning senior wide-receivers Kevin Dorsey and Kerry Boykins, who combined for 82 receptions and more than 1,000 yards in 2011. The Mountaineers are 2521-2 all-time against Maryland in an historical series that spans back to 1919 but have also won five straight contests against the Terrapins, including a hard-fought 37-31 road victory last September in which West Virginia withstood a furious second-half Maryland comeback. It was a critical test for Holgorsen early in his young head coaching career, and you have to at least contemplate what a different result would have meant for both programs. Edsall and Maryland would have moved to 2-0 with early marquee wins against Miami and then-ranked No. 18 West Virginia, and one more loss for the Mountaineers in 2011 would have likely erased any hopes of reaching the Orange Bowl. This year the stakes will be steep for both teams, as the

West Virginia hasn’t lost to Maryland at home since 2002. two face off the final week before intraconference play begins. For West Virginia to have a chance at the Big 12 crown in their pioneer year in the conference, they’ll have to be able to handle the Terrapins in what some are already deeming a rebuilding season in College Park. But after last year’s memorable run, it’s likely West Virginia will start off 2012 with a target on their back, and a win for Edsall and the Terrapins could be just what the team needs to speed up the aforementioned rebuilding process and allow the players to share the same level of confidence their coach revels in. “They look at how many you win and how many you lose,” Edsall said after last year’s tumultuous season. “That’s the business that we’re in, and I understand that. But I look at the big picture because when you’re installing a program, there’s more than just wins and losses. “We’re winning in a lot of areas; we’re just not winning on the field right now. But that will happen, I’m confident of that.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
