Programs help students liveWELL by meghan bonomo correspondent

While the stress of finals steadily draws near, WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health is hosting a variety of informal, informative sessions to increase awareness on how to “liveWELL.” This month’s theme is chillWELL – part of the liveWELL campaign that encourages students to adapt methods of relaxation

to decrease stress levels and “to optimize quality of life and performance,” according to their website.

Student Health Educators are teaming up with dorm wellness coordinators to provide the residents with educational and practical living advice.

According to WELLWVU student health educator Jordan McCann, these events occur each month.

“At the beginning of

the year, September was drinkWELL, October was loveWELL, and November and into December, because of break, we do chillWELL,” she said. “Then, starting at the beginning of the new year, we have eatWELL, sleepWELL, breatheWELL, and then, it all comes together at the end, it’s the whole liveWELL challenge.”

Students who participate in the events receive wrist-

bands, and students with all the wristbands at the end of the year can enter to win a grand prize.

ChillWELL provides students opportunities to take up yoga, encouraging them to “be here now” – focusing on the present rather than the future, which is the overall theme of their timemanagement promotion.

Also offered is an array of healthy lifestyle choices that could drastically reduce

stress and increase serenity.

“My job is to come in whenever the dorms request to facilitate this event to teach residents such as tonight’s activity, different time-management skills, stress management and how to shift their negative attitudes or environments into positive ones, while focusing on creating positive behavior,” McCann said.

“That’s what we do year round at WELLWVU with

Linda Hall’s Turkish Bazaar raises funds for less fortunate in Turkey

By Ashley tennant Staff Writer

For Linda Hall, her annual Turkish Bazaar is not about making a profit – it’s about touching the lives of children across the globe.

Arts Monongahela is currently hosting Linda Hall’s Turkish Bazaar. The preview sale began Tuesday, and the event ends Saturday.

The bazaar features a variety of handcrafted items from Turkey, including silk scarves, purses, jewelry, blankets and pearls.

Hall said she first started the bazaar after she and her sister visited Istanbul, Turkey, in 1999.

“Six weeks before we left, they had an earthquake, killing thousands and leaving everything displaced.

We wanted to do something and wanted to touch as many people as we could, so as teachers, we thought of the children,” Hall said. “Of course, the airlines would be willing to give us our money back, but we decided to take things to the children. At that Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM time, I was teaching school, and I loved shopping at Pendants on display at Linda Hall’s Turkish Bazaar at Arts Monongahela on High Street. Proceeds from items sold at the bazaar go toward Turkish children in need. see bazaar on PAGE 2

SGA discusses changes to scheduling By lacey Palmer staff writer

The West Virginia University Student Government Association passed a resolution Wednesday evening that will allow students to provide more input to the office of the Provost.

SGA Governor Ryan Campione suggested an undergraduate student think tank that would provide students with an opportunity to give

feedback on their experience with current academic situations.

According to Campione, a 30-person student group consisting of a variety of demographics on campus, including representatives from the nine undergraduate colleges, multidisciplinary studies students, international students, veterans, athletes, Greeks, those on academic probation, SGA members and all four class-standing classifications, will meet

with the Provost twice each semester.

During the meetings, representatives will discuss issues and ideas they face, as well as those they’ve heard from their peers.

“Ironically enough, when I came into my role in 2009, I often wondered how I could have a group of students serve as an advisory board to my office,” said Associate Provost for Undergraduate Academic Affairs Elizabeth Dooley. “Often, we need to

consider what students think about situations rather than a bunch of adults my age.”

According to Dooley, this group of students would bring new ideas and input on ideas for the Provost.

“It would be an openended discussion about new initiatives coming down the pike,” Dooley said.

Campione said he believes the think tank would represent each aspect of the

Author Krista Fink firmly believes words have power to bring healing and change.

During her lecture Wednesday at the Erickson Alumni Center, Fink shared her story with West Virginia University students.

The event was sponsored by WELLWVU: the Students’ Center of Health and the Greek Society.

Fink discussed her book, “Silent No More,” a personal account of domestic violence and a valuable resource guide for victims of abusive relationships.

As a victim of domestic violence, Fink endured her own journey and admits it is not an easy one.

“My story is not an extraordinary one,” she said.

“It’s one to which most victims can relate. And, perhaps more importantly, it’s one that ends well.”

Fink said her first husband was an adventurous outdoorsman whose skiing and white water rafting kept her transfixed. She ignored the signs of possible violence and warn-

ings from her family and friends.

The two were married after being together for nearly a year. She soon realized the relationship was unhealthy, but said she was too embarrassed to seek real help.

After five years and three attempts to leave, she made her final break.

Through the help of the Resolve Family Abuse Program and her own determination, Fink said she has been able to heal through speaking and writing about her experiences.

At first, Fink was urged not to go public with her story as it may have harmed her career. She said her family was frightened of what her coworkers would think of her if they knew the truth.

“If that is a concern, then that is exactly why I must go public,” she said.

“Falling victim to domestic violence is nothing to be ashamed of. I did not ask for it. I did not want it.

It’s a part of who I am. I survived it, and I will not hide it. I’ve got to speak out for those who can’t.”

Lecture to look at optical evolution

By Kaity Wilson Staff Writer

The West Virginia University Neuroscience Club and the Department of Biology will host a lecture today to provide an eyeopening look at ocular development.

Ivan Schwab, professor of ophthalmology at the University of California Davis School of Medicine, will present his seminar entitled, “How Eyes Evolved.”

Schwab recently published a book titled, “Evolution’s Witness: How Eyes Evolved,” and he will concentrate on his research into this topic for his lecture.

“Dr. Schwab’s lecture promises to be a fascinating look at the development of the eye, from the oldest and smallest microcelled organisms to in-

sects, birds and the human eye,” said Richard Thomas, chair of the Department of Biology. “His book is filled with wonderful imagery and diversity, and we are excited to have him with us to share his research.”

Schwab obtained his undergraduate degree in biology at WVU and his M.D. at the WVU School of Medicine.

He completed his ophthalmology residency at the California Pacific Medical Center.

Schwab said he plans to begin his lecture with the Cambrian period – when the very first eyes developed more than 543 million years ago – and will continue into the present day.

There is a great variety of eyes with at least 10 different designs, he said.

ChillWELL provides students with an electronic liveWELL calendar to assist with scheduling.

“The liveWELL calendar gives you a good idea of what you’re doing every day and how you are managing your own time whether you realize it or not,” according to Lincoln Hall Resident Assistant John Lucas.

Continued from page 1 Fink said writing her book served as a form of therapy, and now it is a form of therapy for women, not only in West Virginia but across the country.

“It shows victims that escaping, staying away and recovering is a struggle, but that it’s definitely possible,” she said. “It also lets family, friends and community members know just how much a survivor needs their help before, during and after the escape.”

Fink said the Young Women’s Christian Association helped her throughout recovery and is now helping her spread the word. The organization has purchased 400 copies to give to other women in need.

Fink said “Silent No More” has served as her safe haven and a form of help for other women dealing with the same situation and situations even more extreme.

One of the participants learning to use the liveWELL calendar was freshman Emma Umstot.

“I would use it just to plan out how I will study,” she said.

Umstot was using her calendar to plan her finals week.

“I’m just going to separate it out into studying for one final for two hours, then incorporating something stress relieving like exercise so I don’t get bogged down from studying,” she said.

Lincoln Hall’s wellness coordinator, Lauren Gerchufsky is actively involved with the wellWVU programs.

“I do a lot of different programs in Lincoln, and a lot of them are wellnessrelated, but these specific

WELLWVU ones are more educational, where the students get their messages on why it’s not good for them to drink and why it’s good to take care of your body,” she said. “It’s helpful to us, because I don’t have the training and all the things wellWVU does to get these messages across, and these are the really important ones – the messages the students need to know.”

The liveWELL campaign is informative and positively influencing the lifestyles of those interested, and the liveWELL calendar helps maintain those choices.

rector of the YWCA came to me and said that in support group, one of the women said it was my book that finally motivated her to leave her abuser,” she said. “Wow. When I was writing ‘Silent No More,’ I never dreamed it would be helping people make major changes in their lives; I just wanted to help people understand more about domestic violence.”

Fink has firsthand experience with the difficulties one encounters when leaving an abusive partner.

“I’ve come a long way.

Eight years ago, I was in a controlling marriage, terrified most days, feeling hopeless and helpless every day. Today, I’m a published author, the wife of a wonderful, caring man and the mother of two beautiful babies,” she said.

Fink currently serves on the board of directors at the YWCA and is active in fundraising for victims of domestic violence and speaking to groups that would benefit from her story.

“I love it,” she said. “I know that something I say

that day is going to make a difference for someone.

And what if today is the day that sparks energy that leads to some major headway in eliminating domestic violence? So I keep doing it.”

Fink not only advocates for women dealing with domestic violence, but she encourages other people to lend a helping hand to the situation. She said she cannot do it single-handedly.

“We have to help each other,” she said. “Many pieces must be in place before the puzzle of escape and recovery can come together. Which piece of the puzzle are you holding?

Someone needs it to complete the picture.”

Fink said she wants those dealing with domestic violence to realize the power they have and that they can leave that abusive person.

“I want people to decide to be silent no more,” she said.

Another resolution read

by Governor Dillon Knox and Governor Kylie Sphar Wednesday evening discussed a possible alcohol amnesty program for the University.

“Under this program, any student that is intoxicated or has a friend that is intoxicated and needs help, can call and receive amnesty from any charges that have to do with alcohol and underage consumption,” Knox said.

According to Knox, the issue of providing amnesty for those using illegal drugs was

also discussed, but he believes the resolution would not pass if illegal drugs were included in the effort.

Knox said four of the ten Big 12 institutions have instituted a “Good Samaritan” policy, similar to his initiative.

The program would provide amnesty for both the caller and the student who may need medial attention.

It will be a West Virginia University policy only – not a policy at the county or state level, he said.

WVU Registrar Steve Robinson also spoke at Wednesday’s meeting regarding a new method for online class registration, which is scheduled to go live Dec. 5.

“Within a matter of days, we are hopefully making registration for classes much

easier than it is today,” Robinson said.

Robinson discussed some issues with the current registration process, including the fact that www.courses.wvu. edu, the current scheduling method, is not live. Robinson said this means the program can have a “lag time” of nearly six minutes at times.

The new program will be available to students within MIX, which, according to Robinson, will prevent the toggling back and forth between different sites.

“The days of having to jot down CRNs and move them to MIX will hopefully be gone,” Robinson said.

“This will hopefully shine a brighter light on WVU’s registration process.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Linda Hall’s Turkish Bazaar raises funds for less fortunate children in Turkey through the sale of jewelry and other items.

bazaar

Continued from page 1 the bazaar, and I brought a few things back, and my teacher friends all wanted them and asked for more.”

Hall travels to the school in Istanbul to help the children once per year during her visits.

“We always bring things back. I used to sell the items in my home, but I outgrew my home, and Arts Monongahela and Jeannie Kuhn were kind enough to offer me this space,” she said.

Linda Hall’s Turkish Bazaar happens twice a year: once during the holiday season and once in the spring.

“We call it the Turkish Bazaar, because everything is mainly from Turkey, but actually there are many things from neighboring countries as well, including China,” Hall said. “Istanbul is the trade center for Europe and Asia, so they get many things in from places and sell

them. They have wonderful craftsmen.”

Hall said a lot of people benefit from the Turkish Bazaar, including the women who make the scarves, jewelry and other items.

“The vendors in Turkey who I buy these things from of course benefit,” she said.

“I bring the things home, and I sell them; some of the profits from what I get, I invest in the packets that I make for the children in Turkey.”

Hall said the biggest reward for her is being able to provide for the children at the school in Turkey.

“I make about 80 packets, and that’s a good bit of money when you consider every child gets 10 new pencils, a box of crayons, and a spiral notebook with notebook paper in it. This year, all children got a pair of winter gloves,” she said.

“One year, we gave harmonicas, because someone once said, ‘you are never alone if you have a harmonica in your pocket,’ so we are always taking

new and fun gifts to the children each time.”

Hall said she believes the people who purchase items from her bazaar benefit as well.

She said they are getting unique items at a fraction of what the price would be set in the United States.

“It’s all relevant as far as economy. In Turkey, a loaf of bread is typically 9 cents, and the average schoolteacher there makes about $4,000 a year, so it’s just a big difference.”

Jeannie Kuhn, Executive Director of Arts Monongahela said she enjoys the event, the relationships and the cause it gives to.

“This has actually become not only a great shopping opportunity, but also a social activity. A lot of the women that have come here – if they weren’t friends when they came in the door, they were friends when they left,” she said.

“It’s just an enjoyable event for everybody. I think it’s really nice that Linda is offering this for the community, and it benefits us and I think, everyone else involved.”

Hall said she looks forward to the bazaar each year, as she believes there is nothing more rewarding than making a difference in the lives of those in need.

“I have a very strong Christian faith, but I am not in Turkey as a missionary, but there for the children, and they are in need, and that’s all I care about.

And if someday someone’s bad mouthing Americans, and someone says, ‘I knew some Americans, and they were nice,’ I think that’s the biggest payback I could have,” Hall said.

Satisfaction ensured with ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ by laura ciarolla copy editor

“Safety Not Guaranteed� mixes comedy, romance and science fiction to form an unconventional coming-of-age story about two stunted loners who are desperate for a chance to turn back the clock.

The film is produced by Mark and Jay Duplass, creators “The Puffy Chair� and “Jeff Who Lives At Home.�

It’s written by Derek Connolly and directed by Colin Trevorrow, both of whom are fairly new to the motion picture scene.

A truly heartwarming tale, “Safety Not Guaranteed� tells the story of a lonely, jaded young intern for a Seattle magazine who develops an unusual interest in the subject of one of their stories.

Darius, played by Aubrey Plaza (“Parks and Recreation�), is attracted to a story about a man who places a personal ad in the newspaper seeking a partner with whom to travel in time.

The ad reads: “Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke.

You’ll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.�

After pitching the idea at a meeting, Jeff (Jake Johnson, “The New Girl�) accepts Darius and Arnau (Karan Soni) as intern assistants for the story. The three then travel to Ocean View, Wash., to go undercover and answer the ad.

Although the scenario begins as a form of ridicule, Darius’ involvement with Kenneth, the selfproclaimed time traveler (played by “The League’s�

http://everythingiseventual.com

Jake Johnson, Aubrey Plaza and Karan Soni star in the film ‘Safety Not Guaranteed.’ Mark Duplass), soon develops into a much stronger relationship.

Initially, the two seem to bond as a result of their shared affinity for eccentricities. After a while, however, it becomes evident that’s not the only thing they share.

Kenneth lives alone and works as a grocer, even though he claims to be very intelligent. He almost seems to live like a child, which adds to the magic of

his possibly make-believe world.

Darius lives with her father, even though she is a college graduate. Like Kenneth, she seems unable or unwilling to develop into a “real� adult. Both Darius and Kenneth are emotionally stunted individuals rooted in their past, and their joint quest to go back in time to change their lives brings them closer than they’ve been with anyone before.

One of the major draws of this movie is the acting.

Aubrey Plaza’s demeanor in the film perfectly mirrors Darius’ bleak outlook on life. Plaza plays her usual sarcastic and mopey character, but this time there lies a genuine hopefulness that will ultimately cause you to fall in love despite the sour look on her face.

Similarly, Mark Duplass brings more to this role than I’ve seen of him in any other film or television

show. I wasn’t aware he possessed this much emotional depth or could portray it quite so beautifully.

The juxtaposition of these two character types is definitely one of the best components of this story.

Darius’ downtrodden hopefulness, paired with Kenneth’s unwavering belief in the impossible, creates a beautiful friendship that leads them both to reexamine the definition of true happiness.

Whether you’re a fan of comedy, romance, science fiction or just good stories, this movie is a great choice.

It will take you on your own journey through time, – back to adolescent feelings of curiosity and sincere wonderment of the world to a place where anything seems possible.

‘Chicago’ musical is nothing short of amazing madeline carey a&e writer

The six-time Tony Award winning musical Chicago stopped at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Hall this weekend on its national tour.

The Grammy Awardwinning show, which was also made into a major motion picture starring Richard Gere, Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones, won six Oscars in 2003, including best picture.

One of Broadway’s most beloved musicals, “Chicago� has every aspect needed to formulate an amazing musical.

Set in the 1920s, “Chicago� follows the life of Roxie Hart, a vixen who grew up dreaming of being a dancer and was recently imprisoned for murder. of the tale takes place in a women’s prison in Chicago where Hart serves her time while awaiting her trial for the murder of her lover.

She won’t be locked up for long, though, if she can convince Billy Flynn,

the most crooked lawyer money can buy, to take her case.

The musical that the New York Theatre calls a classic saying, “It’s the show you can always count on to give you the thrills and memories that only come from seeing a Broadway musical.�

While the show started with an astounding performance of one of the show’s most popular songs, “All That Jazz,� a different song was the obvious crowd pleaser. “Cell Block Tango,� a number in which women clad in only lingerie and netting sing of the murders of their lovers and their indisputable innocence, has been the show’s most popular song since it’s 1975 incarnation.

Though its choreography was perfect, the dancers left more to be desired, reminiscent of your high school spring musical.

Nonetheless, Ron Orbach – who played Amos Hart, Roxie’s oblivious husband – performed the

‘Chicago’ is a six-time Tony Award-winning musical. show’s famous “Mister Cellophane� with a confidence and authenticity that he had the entire audience rooting against the blonde bombshell who had broken his heart.

The true star of the show was Kecia Lewis-Ev-

ans, who played Matron “Mama� Morton, the warden of the Cook County Jail.

While Queen Latifah gave an Oscar Award nominated performance of the role, Evans was able to outshine the hip-hop artist on every level.

Judge tosses anti-paparazzi counts in Bieber case LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge dealt a blow Wednesday to a California law meant to crack down on reckless driving by paparazzi by saying the statute is overly broad and should not be used against the first photographer charged under its provisions.

Superior Court Judge Thomas Rubinson dismissed counts filed under the law against Paul Raef, who was charged in July with being involved in a high-speed pursuit of Justin Bieber.

The 2010 law raised the penalty for those who drive dangerously in pursuit of photos for commercial gain.

The offense is punishable by six months in jail and a $2,500 fine but went unused until Raef was involved in the freeway chase of Bieber that topped 80 mph and prompted several 911 calls.

Raef still faces traditional reckless driving counts and has not yet entered a plea.

The judge cited numerous problems with the paparazzi statute, saying it was aimed at newsgather-

ing activities protected by the First Amendment, and lawmakers should have simply increased the penalties for reckless driving rather than targeting celebrity photographers.

He also said the law could be used against photographers rushing to shoot a wedding or political rally, or even a private citizen such as himself on the way to an event that might generate photos worth selling.

Assistant City Attorney Ann Rosenthal said hours after the ruling that her office would appeal.

The judge put the case on hold until the appeal is resolved.

Rubinson’s ruling only affects Raef ’s case, but the law could be struck down completely by the appellate court, said Brad Kaiserman, an attorney for Raef.

Kaiserman argued the statute was unconstitutional and meant to protect celebrities, not the public. “This discrimination sets a dangerous precedent,� he said.

Prosecutors countered that the law could be ap-

plied to people in other professions, not just the media. “The focus is not the photo. The focus is on the driving,� Rosenthal argued.

While the media is granted freedom under the First Amendment, its latitude to gather news is not unlimited, she said. “ This activity has been found to be particularly dangerous,� she said of chases involving paparazzi.

Prosecutors should focus on using existing laws, including reckless driving and false imprisonment statutes, to tackle aggressive behavior by celebrity photographers, said Doug Mirell, a First Amendment attorney. “I think that celebrities who are being stalked or chased by paparazzi are entitled to be concerned about their personal safety and the safety of their families when these events occur,� Mirell said. “But I think that there’s a legitimate question about whether the Legislature took the right path in trying to accommodate those concerns.�

He said the judge’s con-

cerns about having other members of the public caught up in the case is valid, and any law that specifically targets newsgathering efforts will prove more difficult to win than a case filed using traditional laws.

The law used to charge Raef was influenced by the experiences of Jennifer Aniston, who provided details to a lawmaker on being unable to drive away after she was surrounded by paparazzi on Pacific Coast Highway.

Evans’ rendition of “When You’re Good to Mama� had the entire theatre on their feet with applause. “Chicago� isn’t the only Broadway show to tour through Pittsburgh, though. “Catch Me If You Can,�

“Les Miserables� and “The Book of Mormon,� the show that turned Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park into modern-day Sondheims, are also making stops in Pittsburgh in 2013. daa&e&mail.wvu.edu

OPINION Changing climate won’t wait

4

Thursday November 15, 2012

For much of the 2012 election season, political observers were surprised that one particular issue went relatively unmentioned. Despite the avalanche of attack ads, the daily campaign speeches and the numerous debates, neither President Barack Obama nor Republican candidate Gov. Mitt Romney broached the topic of climate change throughout the campaign season.

Their neglect did not make the problem any

less real, as was illustrated

by Superstorm Sandy’s ferocious rampage across the eastern United States.

Many believed Sandy would ultimately serve as a wake-up call for America’s public and leadership to finally take action on this issue that threatens to disrupt the delicate balance of life on Earth.

With the election and the disingenuous political posturing that is inextricably linked to it finally behind us, it appears as though a window for tak-

ing action might finally be opening.

In his first press conference since his re-election, President Obama reaffirmed his understanding of the realities of climate change. Moreover, he stressed the need for action.

“I think we’ve got an obligation to future generations to do something about it,” he said.

President Obama is right.

We, as citizens of the United States and as global

citizens, have an obligation to ensure that future generations will live in a sustainable environment.

If the status quo remains unchanged and we continue to spew greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, thereby changing its natural chemical composition and setting off an unpredictable chain of events in our environment, there is no telling what condition our planet will find itself in the near future.

But as Superstorm Sandy illustrated, change

is coming whether or not we acknowledge it. Scientists agree on the fact that humans activities – chief among them the burning of fossil fuels – are contributing to climate change.

The increase in the frequency of extreme, destructive storm systems, such as Sandy, is in line with their predictions.

We need our leaders to take action, and we need them to do it now – before it is too late.

Gay marriage and the 2012 election

AP

Supporters of Referendum 74, which would uphold the state’s new same-sex marriage law, cheer at a news conference Nov. 7, 2012, in Seattle.

molly robinson columnist

Last week, after a long and difficult battle full of name-calling, mudslinging and general conflict, a monumental event occurred in America – and I’m not talking about Obama’s re-election.

In the wake of the election, Maine, Maryland and Washington all voted to legalize gay marriage. Currently, nine U.S. states and our nation’s capital allow same-sex marriages, as well as 11 other countries worldwide.

But while the Obama vs. Romney debate lives on, the issue of gay rights seems to have been swept under the rug in favor of sore losers and arrogant winners, still talking about our re-elected president.

In the meantime, gay rights in our country are ignored. In a nation that has always promoted forward thinking, equal rights and acceptance, the U.S. is falling behind in these regards while countries like Canada and Spain have supported marriage regardless of sexual preference for nearly eight years now.

The apparent success of these countries, uninhib-

ited by their liberal views on gay marriage, should be enough to spur the movement further in the “land of the free,” yet many U.S. citizens promptly dig their heels in the ground when the topic is brought up – or when election year rolls around.

The primary problem with two men or two women getting married seems to be the straightforward statement that marriage has always been between a man and a woman, so why change it now?

While stepping out of the comfort zone is undoubtedly intimidating for some, this aversion to

nationwide progress has some scary undertones that we haven’t seen since the 1860s, when freeing African Americans from slavery was the trending topic of the time and eventually led to the Civil War. Although I’m not suggesting that a war on homosexuals is in the cards, I am saying that inhibiting the rights of a group of people is inherently un-American. In a land that was developed in order to avoid the suppression of human rights in England, it seems that a majority of our citizens have forgotten the doctrine we have all strived to live by for centuries that

every man, woman and child has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Granted, this statement has one essential flaw and that is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will not take away these same qualities from any other citizen.

While other legal bindings, such as incest or human-animal relationships, do violate this idea, Paul and Joe or Samantha and Anne getting married does not inhibit anyone’s right – these people are simply legal and consenting adults hoping to legitimize their relationships in the same

way as heterosexuals.

As for parenting, studies have shown that antigay marriage supporters are correct in regard to the fact children do need two parents but the gender of these two parents is inconsequential. In fact, these same studies suggest homosexual households offer better environments for children than single-parent households.

And in a world where there is enough hate to fuel political animosity, wars and murders, allowing a few more people to celebrate their love for each other should be a welcome idea.

News flash: Marijuana remains illegal, despite electoral victories Gabriel stoffa iowa state daily

Barack Obama was elected to a second term.

Same-sex marriage was legalized in more states.

But the vote that seems to maintain the highest amount of “hoorahs” and high fives was the legalization for recreational use of marijuana in Washington and Colorado.

Before any tokers out there pack your bags to move to the new havens of haze, keep in mind that marijuana legalization is not yet actually a reality.

But, this “trifling” detail is unlikely to prevent hundreds of thousands of those that enjoy that baked sensation from traveling to one of the American Amsterdams.

With the exodus of folks, and the likely immense bump in vacationing for a few days, there comes a great many challenges besides the already daunt-

DA

ing decision of whether to smoke Canna Sutra, Nigerian, Purple Kush or any of the many other connoisseur marijuana strains.

Though increased tourism can be an excellent way to generate more funds for communities, weekend warriors from just across state lines, or anyone flying in to kiss the sky for a few days, can cause unanticipated troubles for maintaining the peace.

Denser traffic from deliveries or responsible stoners hailing cabs, to increased lines for purchases, to people with kine bud mindsets just chilling in the park or playing some tunes in public, crowding can become a safety issue.

Although there is little to no evidence to support the asinine claims concerning marijuana’s influence on individuals to make them violent or cause death, scores of stumbley folks searching for munchies or strolling along taking in the pleas-

ant vibes of life in the city does not mean the criminals out there are giving a pass to those chiefin’ the reefer. There are oodles of individuals spoiling for fights or happy to rob tourists or others in a less than perfectly attentive state of mind of their possessions.

Operating vehicles, or merely meandering down the street under the influence presents a problem.

Driving while high is like driving while drunk, you do not pass “GO” and collect $200. But that won’t stop people from trying anyway.

Marijuana traces can stay in your system weeks after smoking, even if you haven’t taken a bong rip for a few days. There is, as of now, no simple way for police to establish whether you are blazed, so when they suspect it, you likely head down to the station in cuffs.

Coming up next is drug testing for jobs. Public employees, and even a fair number of private, also

have the wall of “random” urine tests to worry about.

For residents of Colorado and Washington, despite the “legality” of your action, your job can still suspend or fire you for using an illegal substance.

The granddaddy of all woes for the 4/20 movement comes with the war on drugs. States can legalize weed all the live-long day, and it amounts to diddly-squat because Tetrahydrocannabinol remains a Schedule I hallucinogenic or psychedelic drug under the Controlled Substances Act, Title II of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. And since federal law trumps state law, all this kine bud hype could go up in smoke.

But on the optimistic side, state-support for marijuana could lead to change for the idiotic regulation and spending wasted on combating cannabis consumption and incarceration of pleasant people wanting

only to smoke a joint after a hard day of work and eat a Twinkie or two.

The legalization for therapeutic use – easing attention-deficit issues, regulating sleep difficulties, assuaging anxiety, dealing with mild to moderate depression, muscle relaxation or even relieving the suffering to some extent of the terminally ill – has been embraced more and more at the state level, with the overall goal in mind of ending the moreharm-than-good prohibition of pot.

The potential for trafficking from Washington and Colorado into other states could result in some serious legal attention by those unscrupulous entrepreneurs wanting to turn a profit illegally. The federal government’s war on drugs might see this as reason to sue to repeal the state’s legalization.

Myriad political and legal aspects surrounding recreational legalization play out positively and

negatively, sometimes both at once, to the future of marijuana in the United States. The Obama administration has shown little sign of support so far for decriminalization, however given the fund potential from legalization for assisting economic recovery – due to taxing and decreased spending for enforcement – these might be the pebbles that start an avalanche.

If you want change, go to Petitions.WhiteHouse. gov and sign the various movements each month to get marijuana decriminalization brought often to the eye of the White House.

Contact your state representatives with your support for change, to push for legalization in your own state. Tell your friends and family about the changes coming. Who knows, maybe this country is finally moving beyond the antiquated notions somehow still steering our country.

tHROWBACK tHURSDAY 90s alternative albums

‘Dookie’ Green Day ««««

‘In The Aeroplane Over the Sea’ Neutral Milk Hotel ««««

noelle harris

laura ciarolla

a&e writer

copy editor

Take one part Ramones, one part Nirvana and one part Buzzcocks, and you have the punky and witty California-born trio Green Day. Although Green Day recorded two studio albums before “Dookie,” this album established the group’s presence in the punk rock scene.

“Dookie” was released in 1994 and was the group’s first experience with a major record label, Reprise Records.

It became a worldwide success and peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The album included the five hits “Longview,” “When I Come Around,” “Basket Case,” “Welcome to Paradise” and “She.” Additionally, “Dookie” won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album in 1995, and it has since been rated as one of the best albums of all time.

Nirvana’s “Nevermind” paved the way for Green Day’s entry and success into the punk/alternative rock world, but any emulation of Nirvana in “Dookie” was strictly done in irony.

Nirvana had weight and seriousness, but Green Day was deliberately adolescent, treating everything like a joke in typical punk-rock fashion.

This is why I consistently rate “Dookie” as one of my favorite albums. Green Day has evolved throughout the years into an amazing band, but “Dookie” is what started it all. They were snarky and funny – just like a good punk group should be.

Billie Joe Armstrong broke out as a talented songwriter and performer, spitting out melodic rhymes that were reminiscent of ones by Nirvana but can stand along with the best.

Although Billie Joe is in rehab now, hopes are high he will recover and get back onstage and in the studio where he belongs.

With their sarcastic lyrics and haunting melodies, Green Day came onto the punk rock scene 18 years ago with “Dookie,” and they have shown they are here to stay.

One of the most influential albums of its genre, “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel is an essential piece of ‘90s music history. It was listed in Q Magazine as one of the top 250 albums of the last 25 years.

If you don’t remember this album or have yet to hear it, I’d recommend downloading it immediately. It captures a unique musical style and poetry that is at the same time reflective of and separate from the reality of our world.

Listening to this album is a hauntingly beautiful experience.

The band’s singer, guitarist and songwriter, Jeff Mangum, said he was majorly inspired by Anne Frank’s “The Diary of A Young Girl.”

His lyrics are said to reflect this as well as recurring dreams he was having of a Jewish family from World War II. This is evident in such songs as “Holland, 1945,” in which Mangum writes: “The only girl I’ve ever loved / was born with roses in her eyes / but then they buried her alive / one evening 1945 / with just her sister at her side.”

Regardless of its influences, the album has the power to connect to a multitude of people. It contains lyrics that are both melodic and thought-provoking, and they have the ability to transport you to a faraway place in your head, as the best songs always do.

The album’s title track, “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” includes lines such as, “But for now we are young / let us lay in the sun / and count every beautiful thing we can see,” which inspire simultaneous thoughts of mortality and life’s beauty.

Unfortunately, the band took an unannounced hiatus after the 1998 album, and they haven’t released a new album since then.

However, Mangum’s website for the band, www.walkingwallofwords.com, has tour dates listed for 2013. The website also contains one-of-a-kind drawings by Mangum for $15 and a boxed set of the band’s work. One dollar of every boxed set sold will go to Children of the Blue Sky, a charity for needy Mongolian children.

The site also contains a radio show by Mangum.

Freekbot, Signal Path performing at 123 Pleasant Street hunter Homistek associate a&e editor

Freekbot will perform at 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

B. Hockensmith

Electronic dance music outfits Signal Path and Freekbot are primed to turn up the bass and test the limits of sonic perception at 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

Two-time veterans of the historic Morgantown venue, Signal Path promises to bring an energy and musical approach not explored by other groups within the genre of electronic dance music to 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

This is largely due to the fact that while the group still uses a hefty amount of sampling and electronic production, they, also incorporate guitars, drums, basses and other more traditional instruments

@ DA_Deals

to create a sound that is wholly unique.

“Signal Path hit my radar when they opened for EOTO (at) the first Morgantown show,” said Adam Payne, event promoter. “Ever since, they have been one of my personal favorite electronic rock acts, hence the reason I’m bringing them back for a third show at 123 all the way from Denver.”

When Signal Path first came to Morgantown, the group consisted only of Damon Metzner on acoustic drums and Ryan Burnett on guitar and production. Two became three on the group’s second trip when they added Matt Schumacher to lay down dance-oriented bass lines.

Now, for the band’s third performance, they are adding yet another member to their official lineup with keyboardist Cody Willie taking the stage.

With a fuller, more balanced lineup than ever, Signal Path’s performance promises to be a barnburner for the 123 crowd.

Also playing tonight are the esteemed electronic groove masters – Freekbot. A duo comprised of groove scientist Freek-

bass and Disco Mix Club USA Disc Jockey champion Tototius, Freekbot brings a level of excellence to the electronic scene few others can match.

“Freekbass will blow people away with his lightning fast funky slap style, and former DMC USA DJ champion Totobius is a true turntablist,” Payne said. “Together, these guys can really make a room groove.”

Thanks to his incredible dexterity and proficiency on the bass guitar, Freekbass has had the honor of playing with such musicians as Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk, Mike Gordon and guitar virtuoso Buckethead.

Similarly, Totobius has collaborated with funk master Bootsy Collins and respected producer HiTek. With a lifetime of experience and skill between the two, Freekbot ensures a night of satisfaction and high-energy groove expertise.

Tickets to the event are $10, and the show begins at 10 p.m. Concertgoers must be 18 or older to attend. hunter.homistek@mail.wvu.edu

‘IT IS A HUGE ISSUE’

Matt Sunday/The Daily Athenaeum

West Virginia sophomore running back Andrew Buie, center, looks to break a tackle by a Oklahoma State defender Saturday.

West Virginia looking to find balance on offense, find success on ground by cody schuler managing editor

To avoid losing its fifth consecutive game, West Virginia is looking to get back to basics on offense and return to the level of balance the Mountaineers displayed in the first half of the season.

Lately the passing game has taken precedence over the running game – something offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said is exactly what an opposing defense wants. “(The defense’s) goal is to make offenses one dimensional; they feel like if they can get you one di-

mensional, they have you where they want you, so running the ball is important,” he said.

“Throwing the ball is a lot easier when you have an effective running game.”

Though the offense performed better in the Oklahoma State game, head coach Dana Holgorsen was troubled by how the team performed in short-yardage situations.

“It is a huge issue, and we are going to work hard on it this week. We did a poor job of establishing the line of scrimmage. Look at all our third-and-shorts.

We have no push. We had none,” he said.

“We were garbage on third-and-short (and) fourth and short when we handed the ball off. That is (a) combination of just not controlling the line of scrimmage up front and not having good enough running backs to be able to get the yards that we need,” he said.

Part of the running struggles are a direct result of health issues, as senior Shawne Alston is still recovering from a deep thigh bruise, and sophomore Dustin Garrison is still not back to 100 percent following his knee injury last season.

Though Holgorsen was

reluctant to admit it, he said the injuries have taken a toll on the Mountaineers’ rushing attack.

“You can blame it on what you want to. Shawne (Alston) is hurt. It is not what people want to hear, but he is hurt. That is why he is not playing,” he said.

“Dustin is still six months out from being where he was last year, which means we put it in the hands of (sophomore) Andrew Buie, who is averaging almost five yards a rush. But if you give it to him 20 times a game he is going to wear down.”

Buie, who is currently sixth in the Big 12 in rush-

Landry Jones and No. 12 Oklahoma will face West Virginia Saturday night. been stout, as well, leading the Big 12 in pass defense and opponent first downs in 2012. Oklahoma is also No. 24 in the country in scoring defense, allowing less than 20 points per game to its opponents.

The Sooners are coached by the notorious Bob Stoops, who just surpassed Bud Wilkinson for second all-time in wins (146) as head coach of OU. Under center, Oklahoma is led by senior quarterback Landry Jones, who has won more games than any quarterback in the storied history of Oklahoma.

Jones only held his name out of last year’s NFL draft because he wanted to add a national championship to the Sooners’ enormous trophy case and to his own personal resume.

Jones has completed more than 63 percent of his career passes for 14,793 yards and 109 touchdowns in 46 starts for the Sooners.

“Everything starts with their quarterback, Landry Jones,” Holgorsen said.

“It seems like he has been there for six years. I remember him in high school when he came out of New Mexico. He came to our camp and is very talented.

He’s a big kid with a great arm and is a winner.”

Playing behind Jones is the 6-foot-6, 254-pound monster backup, Blake Bell “Dozer” is usually inserted in either goal line or other short yardage situations to pound the football ahead.

Bell has only completed nine passes for 103 yards in his two years at Oklahoma, but he’s also rushed for 23

touchdowns for the same two seasons.

“Fast enough,” Stoops said Monday when asked about Bell’s 40-yard dash time. “Once he gets rolling, he’s pretty quick.”

Stoops also pointed out Monday that although his team is potentially in contention for an at-large BCS bid, his team is still focused solely on improving on a consistent week-to-week basis, including Saturday at West Virginia.

“We’ve been good at doing what we need to do,” Stoops said. “Our assignments (and) our technique, so hopefully that will continue. We’re going to do our part for this one game, to try and keep improving our position.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

of a playmaker. His longest rush this season went for 30 yards, and it’s plays like that he said he hopes to make more frequently.

“I need to start making more (big) plays within the offense to give us some breathing room (and) help the offense out,” he said.

“I just have to continue to work and prepare myself to be able to make those runs.”

If the Mountaineers hope to upset No. 12 Oklahoma Saturday, they will need exactly that from not only Buie but the rest of the running backs. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Men’s soccer can compete for title in 2013 Doug Walp Sports writer

After a fairly underwhelming season in 2012, the West Virginia men’s soccer team will return to a competitive level in pursuit of a national championship in 2013.

That’s right. Even though the Mountaineers are losing three of their top-four point scorers, easily their best defender in Eric Schoenle and their starting and backup goalkeepers, they’ll still be able to compete with the best teams in the entire country next year.

They’ll be able to do so for a number of reasons.

West Virginia will welcome one of the most successful programs in the history of college football the No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners to Morgantown Saturday.

For the last 70 years, no school has dominated college football as consistently as the Sooners. In fact, Oklahoma has posted the most victories (577) and the highest winning percentage (.763) of any college football team since the end of the World War II. They’ve also claimed seven national championships, seven Big 12 conference titles and produced five different Heisman Trophy winners during their 117-year history.

“They are used to winning,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “They play with a tremendous amount of effort and are very talented.”

But the Sooners faced some minor adversity early on this year, getting to a slow start in the first three quarters against a very weak UTEP team in their season opener and then falling two weeks later to Kansas State.

Despite some of the early season struggles, if you can even call them that, the Sooners are now one of the most dangerous teams in not only the conference but the entire country. Their only two losses have come from two undefeated teams, Kansas State and Notre Dame, who currently are the No. 1 and No. 3 teams in the country, respectively.

In fact, except for those two losses, Oklahoma has outscored their opponents 326-135 this season.

The Sooners’ defense has

“I feel good; I feel fine.

That was a big thing for me during the offseason: getting my body to the point where I could last for a whole season,” Buie said.

“I feel like I’m holding up pretty well right now. I do more stretching and get into the cold tub more often this year to keep taking care and treating my body.”

ing for Major League Soccer clubs almost right away, this is simply a process that every collegiate sports team has to eventually deal with. Most players only get the chance to stay for four years, some gain an extra year of eligibility through either a redshirt or an injury. Regardless of the situation, college athletics are always a revolving door of sorts in regards to player talent.

And even though the Mountaineers will lose the likes of the aforementioned Schoenle, Travis Pittman, Uwem Etuk, Peabo Doue and Shadow Sebele this offseason, West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc never sounded panicked about the idea of replacing his productive seniors when I talked to him over the phone Monday night

Roethlisberger has rib injury too, out vs. Ravens PITTSBURGH (AP) — Right arm tucked into a black sling, weary eyes betraying a decided lack of sleep, Ben Roethlisberger tried to stay positive after the worst – and by far the most harrowing – injury of his career.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback believes he can return this season despite spraining his right shoulder and suffering what he called a dislocated rib in Monday night’s overtime win against Kansas City.

He’s just not sure when he’ll be ready. And his medical team appears nowhere close to figuring out how exactly to get him there.

“From what (the doctor) said he’s trying to talk to experts because there is no case study over the exact same thing,” Roethlisberger said Wednesday. “We’re just trying to talk to people ... because we don’t know.”

All Roethlisberger knows for certain is that doctors are concerned the rib – which he injured while getting sacked by a pair of Kansas City linebackers in the third quarter on Monday – could puncture his aorta if jostled around.

He also knows he’ll be a spectator indefinitely while the surging Steelers (6-3) try to track down AFC Northleading Baltimore (7-2).

The rivals meet twice over the next three weeks, with the first showdown coming Sunday night at Heinz Field.

Veteran backup Byron Leftwich will take the snaps in Roethlisberger’s place, looking for his first win as a starter in six years.

“I’m not going to go out there and try and be Ben,” Leftwich said. “We see the game differently. He’s physically able to do some things that I can’t do but that doesn’t mean I can’t go out there and do my job.”

The Steelers have been forced to play with Roethlisberger occasionally over the last nine seasons, going 8-5 without their franchise cornerstone since 2004. Four of those losses, however, have come against the Ravens.

Still, Roethlisberger remains optimistic he’ll be back to work at some point over the next seven weeks.

Asked if he thinks the in-

jury is season-ending, the two-time Super Bowl winner shrugged his one good shoulder and attempted to remain upbeat.

“I don’t think so, I don’t know though but I’m not a medical expert,” Roethlisberger said. “I just know I’m going to do what I can to get back.”

At the moment, doing nothing appears to be the smartest course after his season came to a stunning halt early in the third quarter against the Chiefs.

Roethlisberger was stepping up in the pocket trying to extend a third-down play when Kansas City linebacker Justin Houston wrapped up his legs and teammate Tamba Hali drove all of his 265 pounds into Roethlisberger’s chest and slammed him to the turf.

The quarterback’s right arm dug into his side at the moment of impact, dislocating the rib and sending a jagged edge perilously close to the aorta.

“When I hit the ground is kind of when I felt something not right, like a crunch or a crack,” Roethlisberger said. “It’s kind of hard to explain.”

What’s easy to explain is the pain, which Roethlisberger described as “nine on a scale of 1-10.” Most of the misery is coming from the rib and he joked he’ll likely have to hold his son – who is due to arrive sometime in the next few weeks – with in his left arm instead of his right.

Unless Roethlisberger learns to throw with his left arm too, Pittsburgh’s playoff chances will rest with Leftwich. The former first-round pick hasn’t started a game in three years and hasn’t won one since 2006. He went 7 of 14 for 73 yards in relief against the Chiefs, leading Pittsburgh to a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter.

“My first few plays I felt like everybody was moving faster than me,” Leftwich said. “Maybe that is because I’m slower than everybody.

When you ain’t out there, let’s just be honest, it just takes awhile to get back.”

A full week of practice and the fact he’s spent four of the last five seasons as Roethlisberger’s primary backup

means Leftwich isn’t exactly starting from scratch.

Early in his career, Leftwich was one of the most promising quarterbacks in the league. Taken with the seventh overall pick by Jacksonville in the 2003 draft, Leftwich led the Jaguars to a playoff berth in 2005 before things fell apart. He lost his starting job to David Garrard a year later then bounced around between Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay before returning to the Steelers for good in 2010.

Leftwich missed all but one game in 2010 due to a knee injury and spent all of 2011 on injured reserve after breaking his arm during a preseason game. Yet the Steelers have kept him around because of his close relationship with Roethlisberger and his arm, which remains one of the strongest in the league. Leftwich actually overthrew speedy wide receiver Mike Wallace on a fly pattern against the Chiefs, a rare feat.

“We have all the confidence in the world in Byron,” Wallace said. “He’s been in this league a long time, and he’s played a lot of games. We just need to work on some things in practice this week with him at quarterback, and I’m sure we’ll be ready to go by the time the game comes around.”

Roethlisberger will be there in Leftwich’s ear offering assistance when necessary, just as Leftwich has done for him through the years.

“He can make every throw on the football field,” Roethlisberger said. “He’s going to do just as good if not better.”

NOTES: DE Brett Keisel (shoulder), LT Max Starks (ankle), S Troy Polamalu (calf ), RT Marcus Gilbert (ankle), WR Antonio Brown (ankle) LB Chris Carter (abdomen) and Roethlisberger did not practice on Wednesday ... S Ryan Clark was limited in practice after sustaining a concussion against the Chiefs.

Clark will meet with team doctors on Thursday for further evaluation.

Jets’ Rex Ryan angered by anonymous rips of Tebow FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Rex Ryan doesn’t mind his New York Jets players saying what’s on their minds. Just as long as they put their names to their comments.

An angry Ryan addressed his team Wednesday for some anonymous quotes by players and members of the organization ripping backup quarterback Tim Tebow in a newspaper report.

“If you’re not going to put your name to it, I think that’s about as cowardly of a thing there is,” Ryan said. “I don’t want to get into spe-

cifics of what I said, but I did address it with our football team. If you’re searching for things to try to drive a wedge through the team, my thing is, I believe in this team.

“I believe this team is (together), will continue to be and maybe even become tighter. I’m confident that will be the case.”

A report in the Daily News on Wednesday said that more than a dozen players and members of the Jets organization believe there’s no chance Tebow could overtake Mark Sanchez for the starting quarterback job – with one saying of the backup: “He’s terrible.”

“We never say that it always has to be a bed of roses,” said Ryan, who encourages his players and coaches to “be yourself” in interviews. “But again, put your name to it. I think people would respect you a lot more for it.”

Tebow was acquired from Denver in a stunning trade in March, with the Jets envisioning using the popular player in key spots on offense. Instead, he has had little impact through nine games, rushing 27 times for 92 yards and completing five of his six passes for

40 yards. Tebow also has not scored with the Jets, and the wildcat package he was supposed to be such a large part of has been inconsistent and mostly ineffective.

Ryan and the Jets insist he has made a difference on special teams, though, as New York’s personal punt protector because opponents have been forced to account for him since he has pulled off a handful of fakes.

“We asked him, a former Heisman Trophy winner, first-round pick, a quarterback who led his team to a playoffs that, ‘You know what? We want you to be our personal protector,’” Ryan said. “Everything we’ve asked him to do, he’s done.”

But with Sanchez mired in a dreadful slump in which he has thrown two touchdowns and three interceptions, lost three fumbles and been sacked 11 times in the Jets’ last three games, Ryan remains committed to him as the starting quarterback. Many fans and media have been calling for Tebow to take over for Sanchez to, more than anything, provide a spark for the offense.

For now, though, this remains Sanchez’s team. And

of freshman already had a chance to play significant minutes in big games for the Mountaineers this year and will already be acclimated to the level of collegiate soccer at the beginning of next season.

It also helps the freshmen didn’t just play big minutes on the pitch for the Mountaineers this season; a few of the first-year college players actually had productive years for West Virginia.

Majed Osman led all freshmen with 10 points on three goals and four assists in 2012. In fact, the London native tied for second in the team in total points, trailing only Schoenle (12), who

Part of LeBlanc’s calmness stems from his absolute confidence in his team’s ability to replenish talent on the roster every year through recruiting.

“We always recruit well,” LeBlanc said. “That’s never really going to be a question for us.”

LeBlanc also said although he’ll only have two returning seniors next season, it helps that a great deal

Tebow will remain on the sideline for most games, aside from the seven or eight plays he averages.

“He’s a football player and I said that from Day 1,” Ryan said of Tebow. “We never brought him in to be the starting quarterback. We already had a starting quarterback in Mark Sanchez. I thought I was clear on that from the day we brought

Tim in here.”

Ryan did, in fact, insist since the offseason that Sanchez was his guy, and he has stuck to that. But the latest locker room chatter presents an issue that the Jets are all too familiar with. In-fighting helped sink New York’s season a year ago, with Sanchez and Santonio Holmes at odds nearly throughout.

After the season ended, several anonymous players were quoted in a media report saying they were uncertain of Sanchez’s leadership abilities and called for the Jets to make a hard push for Peyton Manning. Ryan insists keeping his locker room together, something he thinks was a bit exaggerated last year, won’t be a problem this time around.

was named to the All-MidAmerican Conference first team.

In addition to Osman, freshmen Ryan Cain, Nick Raskasky and Jamie Merriam all found the back of the net twice in their first seasons in Morgantown.

Freshmen Zak Leedom and Kyle Underwood also scored a goal in their first year at the college level.

It’s wasn’t just the freshmen who showed promise in 2012 for the Mountaineers; true sophomore Andy Bevin tallied seven points on two goals and three assists, and redshirt sophomore Craig Stephens had two assists and a goal of his

own.

“Those guys are all back next year,” LeBlanc said.

According to LeBlanc, another huge factor heading into next season, according to LeBlanc, will be the fact that the Mountaineers have the luxury of knowing that they’ll be competing in the MAC for an entire offseason this year. Last year, when WVU collectively hopped ship from the Big East in favor of the Big 12, the men’s soccer team was somewhat left out in the cold because the Big 12 doesn’t feature a league for Men’s soccer.

This forced the Mountaineers to scramble to find a different conference home-

stead in the weeks before the 2012 college soccer season started. Although WVU was fortunate to eventually find a home in the MAC, because they joined the conference so late, they had very little control of their conference schedule – and their overall scheduling in general.

This won’t be the case for next season, claims LeBlanc, who has also revealed that the Mountaineers will again face a murder’s row of opponents in their nonconference schedule to begin 2013.

“We’ll be up to the challenge,” LeBlanc said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers welcome Olympic experience separates West Virginia from the rest No. 2 Penn State to town

By Jon Fehrens sports writer

One of the most important moments in this weekend’s match between the West Virginia wrestling team and No. 2 Penn State won’t be determined by which team is the winner or loser – it will be determined by the battle between the wrestlers.

The Nittany Lions ride into Morgantown this weekend with arguably the most talent West Virginia has ever seen, and instead of rolling over, head coach Craig Turnbull sees an opportunity.

“We are preparing to wrestle one of the very finest teams that has entered the Coliseum. We have had really outstanding teams come in, but rarely has a team come in that has won consecutive National Championships,” Turnbull said. “They have multiple national champions in the lineup, but our feeling is that this is what we need in our schedule. This will be an extreme challenge to everyone’s poise.”

Coach Turnbull’s mindset early in the year has been to get wrestlers on the mat so they can gain experience, which will translate into victories near the end of the season. This week he told his team to play hard and try to get a win because playing against the best competition will result in better results from his team.

“The approach to this match is no matter where you are in your career, go and compete for a win.

When they go out with a real competitive attitude, and if they fall short of that win, they are that much closer to their goals by competing against some of the best in nation,” Turnbull said. “It is a great opportunity for the

In order to get the full experience Turnbull wants for his team, they need to be healthy. Colin Johnston is still battling a strained hamstring and will not practice this week. Shane Young is recovering from a sprained ankle he suffered in the first meet of the season, and freshman Bubba Scheffel is suffering from a severe hamstring injury.

“We need nature to be good to us. Young’s ankle is

getting better every day, and he wants to compete. This match has a lot of person(al) significance to him. Colin is not practicing right now, and nature needs to be good to him so he can be ready to compete,” Turnbull said.

All non varsity wrestlers will travel to Annapolis, Md., to take part in the Navy Classic. The rest of the team will stay and welcome Penn State Sunday at 2 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Besides a state-of-the art shooting range, 14 national championships and competing for one of the top programs in the country year in, year-out, the No. 2 West Virginia rifle team has something else to offer recruits interested in being a Mountaineer.

“I’ve been to two Olympics now and have shot many matches internationally,” said head coach Jon Hammond. “I feel like I have a lot of experience in how to prepare for those

matches – what those matches are like – what the competition is like.”

Hammond, an Aberdeen, Scotland, native, competed at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games and the 2012 London Summer Games. He uses his Olympic experience on the recruiting trail when trying to convince the top junior shooters in the world to come to WVU. “I can definitely use that when I’m recruiting someone who really has ambitions to go to the Olympics and shoot after college,” Hammond said. “They

are going to be in an environment here with a lot of knowledge about the (Olympics).”

Hammond is not the only Mountaineer with Olympic experience. Senior Petra Zublasing, one of the best college shooters in the country, competed for her native Italy this summer in London.

“It was super crowded.

There were all these athletes and volunteers and spectators,” Zublasing said about her experience. “It was great because shooting is usually a borderline sport. People don’t really care for it, even if it’s a great sport. At the Olympics we had all these spectators and fans who would make noise and clap.

“That was definitely one of the greatest things.”

All the distractions that surrounded Zublasing in London allowed the Olympian to trust her instincts.

“The biggest thing I learned there is to just trust myself,” Zublasing said. “Your mom has an expectation of how the Olympics will be. Your neighbor has an expectation, your coach, your best friends, your teammates.

“Everybody lives it differently, and everybody will tell you (how to act), but it’s not necessarily what you believe or what you feel. So the biggest thing I learned is to trust my feelings and don’t let yourself be influenced by other people. Sometimes you just know best.”

Another valuable lesson Zublasing learned is not to let the grand stage of the Olympics intimidate her.

“Do not play it safe,” Zublasing said. “It’s the Olympics. It’s the biggest event, and if you play it safe, you aren’t going to go anywhere.”

Zublasing urged West Virginia teammates who dream of honoring their countries at the highest level to not let fear stop them from accomplishing their goals.

“Nobody needs to be afraid,” Zublasing said.

“You don’t need to be afraid of doing badly, because, at the end of the day, you have to go to sleep with a clean continence. So you might as well do your best.

“If you do your best, its just joy – no fear.”

Zublasing offers teammates advice when they are shooting at such a high level, but it is Hammond’s job to guide those students to that level. To ignite that drive, Hammond uses his fondest moment competing for Great Britain.

“I have a lot of pride being from Great Britain and representing my country,” Hammond said. “Walking out at the opening ceremony, especially in London, to walk out as the host country – it gives you a massive buzz, and I take a lot of pride in that.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
