Morgantown ninth-best college town

By Madison Fleck Correspondent

Amid party school rankings and nationally ranked powerhouse athletics, Morgantown has soared to the top of yet another list.

The American Institute for Economic Research recently ranked Morgantown as one of the top 10 college towns.

Morgantown is ranked No. 9 on the list this year.

Last year, the city was

named No. 18.

“It’s a combination of the students, the faculty, the administration and the local community that make Morgantown. It’s the relationship they have that makes it great,” said Jim Manilla, mayor of Morgantown.

Morgantown ranked first in entrepreneurial activity (with a net increase in total number of businesses per 100,000 population) and brain gain or drain (yearby-year ratio of population

University hosts international, LGBTQ roundtable

By Zak Voreh Staff Writer

Members of the West Virginia University international and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer communities met Monday to discuss how to better support one another in an open discussion.

Graduate student Melissa Chesanko and Director of Undergraduate Advising Anita Mayer hosted the Diversity Week Rountable discussion “Discussing Issues Facing LGBTQ Students and International Students” with the goal of promoting acceptance, integrity, learning, opportunity, respect and responsibility.

The event was sponsored by undergraduate advising services.

Chesanko said perhaps the biggest concern each of these groups hold are feeling of “invisibility” on campus.

“I think that invisibility is a challenge, and standing up to represent themselves – that was a theme that they kept coming back to in this event,” she said.

And it is one that I see a lot. Because, if you constantly have to be the one making it know the existence of your group, that is a first step challenge in and of

its self, visibility is a very basic step.”

Chesanko said despite a low turnout for the event, she enjoyed hearing new perspectives and delving deeper into the conversation.

“I was disappointed in the small turn out. I think it is a tricky thing to do events during Diversity Week because you have such a small turn out with other events that are going on. Despite the small number, I think there were a lot of perspectives that I haven’t heard before,” she said. “Doing this type of work regularly, if I haven’t heard them, I know that there were other people that learned something, and it brought up some really good conversation.”

Some of issues discussed were the need to increase University awareness and diversity training as well as providing opportunities for students from these groups to meet new people within University community.

“Within the University, I know that some of the goals that panelists were talking about are being actively worked on by larger groups of students. For instance, (the LGBT center or

Petition seeks priority registration for vets

By Lacey Palmer Staff Writer

As part of its commitment to student veterans, a student organization at West Virginia University has created a petition seeking priority registration for WVU’s student veterans.

The group will be presenting the petition to Registrar Steve Robinson.

According to Veterans of WVU Vice President Dan Alexander, the letter that will accompany the petition is currently undergoing revisions, and a final copy will be drafted soon.

“His (Robinson’s) interest in speaking to us has been expressed, and we look forward to sitting down and presenting our petition to him,” Alexander said.

The Veterans of WVU initially began as a club

for veterans to meet other student veterans who share similar experiences, friendships and issues.

“As we began to share our concerns with each other, we found that many of us shared similar issues not only with our transition but also with issues in learning how to deal with the bureaucracy of academia,” Alexander said.

According to Alexander, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, which offers veterans educational benefits, has been in effect for three years.

When the program first began, many colleges and universities across the country were unprepared for the influx of veterans leaving the military to start school.

“There were very few, if any programs in place to help veterans with the

with bachelor’s degrees living in the area).

Morgantown also ranked second on the list in cost of living (average 2-bedroom rent) and third among arts and leisure (establishments per 100,000 population in arts, entertainment and recreation).

“Most college towns were big cities before they built their college. Morgantown, on the other hand, was just like any old town in West Virginia until WVU was

built,” said Corey Zinn, a West Virginia University undergraduate student. “Then, the students built its character to what it is today.”

Zinn said he believes it is also important to take into account athletics role within the city.

“West Virginia lacks the professional sports that help bring societies together.

The Puppet Mobile visits the Mountainlair and to promote the puppetry program at WVU.

by bryan bumgardner associate city editor

For puppeteer Andrew Swisher, puppets are more than just props – they’re alive.

“It’s very beautiful to see someone take something, just an object, and make it have its own character,” he said. “We really make things come to life.”

Swisher is a student in West Virginia University’s Puppetry and Creative Drama Program.

Students from the program accompanied WVU’s Puppet Mobile to the Mountainlair on Monday and mingled with students as part of Diversity week.

Fulfilling what he calls his “Frankenstein fixation,” Swisher makes his own puppets for his shows.

At the Mountainlair, Swisher presented “Ardie,” a grim-looking skeleton with a friendly

Jesse Billauer refuses to allow a life-altering accident to define his life; rather, he uses it to fulfill his dreams, empower others and serve as a constant reminder that “Life Rolls On.” As part of Diversity Week, West Virginia University’s Office of Disability Services welcomed 33-year-old speaker and founder of Life Rolls On Foundation Jesse Billauer Monday to share

his life journey.

“I started surfing when I was approximately nine or ten years old and was aiming to be a professional surfer,” Billauer said.

However, on March 25, 1996 – at the young age 17 – his life changed forever.

“A month after my 17th birthday, I went surfing and later had a wave hit me in the back, and I ended up hitting my head on the shallow sand bar,” Billauer said. “I knew something was wrong, but I never knew I had bro-

Billauer said prior to his surfing accident, he had already experienced a life-altering car accident that left him feeling invincible.

“In 1995, I was 16 years old, a junior in high school and on the way to school when another car hit me on the drivers side, throwing me out of the car,” Billauer said. “After I got out of the hospital – with only a torn

ligament in my thumb and a couple of cuts and bruises – I thought nothing else could ever happen to me.”

Just one week before his paralyzing surfing accident, “Surfer Magazine” had named him one of the “Top 100 up-and-coming surfers of the world.”

Throughout each obstacle, Billauer said he never gave up, for he had big dreams for himself.

“It took about three years

“People don’t realize we’re bringing inanimate objects to life,” he said. “We build something, create a new being that effects people’s lives.”

For Swisher the enjoyment of puppetry comes from interacting with his audience – both as a puppeteer and a puppet.

“Puppetry is where my life lies. Experiencing the magic of a puppet with a child is great,” he said.

“They’re in awe of the thing. They don’t even look at you, they look at the puppet.”

He said this relationship gives him opportunities to help children grow.

“You make an impact

on their lives, and they can learn from it. I really love being a puppeteer,” he said.

WVU is one of three institutions in the country that offers a BFA in Puppetry and Creative Drama.

Students like Swisher have graduated and worked with Disney, Sesame Street’s live tour and the Pittsburgh Children’s museum.

WVU’s Puppet Mobile, a festive van filled to the brim with puppets, props and magic, gives puppetry students an opportunity to tour the East Coast and practice their art in live shows.

Puppeteer and WVU s t u d e nt Z o e Te e t s, puppetry isn’t just an art form – it’s a way to connect.

“Kids talk through their

stuffed animals and other personal objects,” she said.

“I think it could really help with therapy.”

As part of her Capstone thesis, Teets is exploring how a band of hospital-themed puppets could suppor t hospitalize d adolescents.

Children preparing for a procedure could learn about their procedure by dressing as a doctor and “performing surgery” on an animated and goodspirited puppet.

“The child would get to see what’s going to be done in a way that’s not scary, on something that’s alive and fun,” she said.

“Eliminating fear in hospitals is my main goal.”

Joann Spencer Siegrist, the director of the Puppetry and Creative Drama

Program, said putting on a presentation for Diversity week is a chance to show the accessibility of puppetry.

“Our feeling is, the arts really cross all levels for human beings,” she said.

“And for me, that’s the message in this week of diversity: to appreciate the world, cultures and civilizations and that we may all not look alike, think alike or sound alike, but ultimately, we are all human beings on this planet.”

“The town of 30,000 near the Pennsylvania line is one of the few College Destinations to have greater entrepreneurial activity than in

previous years. But the primary reason for Morgantown’s leap in the rankings was its stability,” according to AIER. “Many of Morgantown’s stats did not change during the Great Recession.”

WVU President James P. Clements said he is excited about Morgantown’s accomplishment, and he is pleased to call Morgantown

“home.”

“It’s always great to have outside, independent validation of what so many of us feel – that Morgantown is a special place and an incredible place to call home,” Clements said.

SGA ‘speak up’ to discuss rioting issue The West Virginia University Student Government Association will host a speak up tonight to discuss concerns surrounding the events that took place after the Mountaineer’s win over Texas.

There has been much conversation surrounding the couch burnings and riots since they occurred.

During last week’s meeting, SGA president Zach Redding said he is open to any feed-

back anyone may have to offer.

“We have such phenomenal students and athletes, and their accomplishments get overshadowed when actions like those of last Saturday occur,” Redding said.

The town hall style speak up will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Mountaineer Room of the Mountainlair and is open to anyone interested in addressing the issue.

transition to college life,” Alexander said. “WVU has stepped up more than many other schools in helping veterans succeed, but many people do not understand the true diversity of the veteran population in college.”

Alexander said when veterans begin school, they’re forced to make (sometimes) difficult transitions.

He said the transition from structured military life and a steady paycheck to unstructured college life, where they’re forced to fit classes and work, is often a difficult one for student veterans.

Some veterans have been away from school for only four years while others have been away for much longer, Alexander said. Many require an introductory course after being away from a school environment for so long.

Other veteran students have families and other major financial obligations some college students might not have, he said.

He said one of the main reasons many veterans struggle with these transitions is because of their inability to complete their degree within the time limits of the GI Bill.

According to Alexander there have been many veterans who have had to drop out of school with only a se-

Currently, there are minimal resources on campus for students within each community, she said. However, those in conversation at the panel said they wanted more.

“There is an international student office, so international students can go there.

There is not a paid organization or person for LGBT students to go to, which is often part of their complaint or issues. In that, they have

Continued from page 1 to get back into the water,” Billauer said. “No one tried to discourage me to get back in the water because I didn’t ask; I just knew it was something I wanted to do.”

Billauer said he learned despite his paralyzing injury he could surf on his stomach if he wore a life vest for protection.

“When I first started surfing again, I quickly realized that even falling off the surfboard was fun,” he said.

A few years after his accident and relearning how to do everyday tasks, as well as surf, he founded the nonprofit foundation Life Rolls On. After teaming with the “They Will Surf Again” foundation, LRO was established in March 2002.

“I started LRO to give back to individuals that were in the same, if not a worse, situation that I am in,” Billauer said.

“I wanted to give young individuals that were disabled that chance to surf, ski or even skate again.”

Today, LRO strives to improve the quality of life for many young individuals affected by spinal cord injuries and utilizes action sports as a platform to dem-

mester or two left because of this issue. Many others struggle specifically with meeting the required prerequisites for their degree program.

Many active-duty students often have training during an extended weekend, and according to Alexander, the current University policy counts those absences as unexcused, which could be detrimental to the student’s progress in the course.

If veterans were to receive priority registration they could register for more Tuesday and Thursday courses to avoid having classes on Monday and Friday for extended weekend trainings, he said.

Across the country, there is an 85 percent attrition rate for veterans in college.

Only 15 percent of veterans that begin college continue and receive a degree.

“Attrition among veterans is a serious problem nationwide,” Alexander said.

“I personally feel that veteran students need priority registration right now, along with aggressive advising, so they can get into the classes they need to finish their degrees before their educational benefits run out.”

Alexander said he believes many more veterans will face this problem in the upcoming years unless something is done.

“I feel very strongly that the answer to many of the problems facing veterans

pursuing higher education is a strong transition program from military to college life,” Alexander said.

“We look forward to working with the University to make such a program a reality.”

Recently, G.I. Jobs ranked WVU a “military friendly campus” for the fourth consecutive year.

According to Alexander this is a perfect opportunity for the University to live up to its ranking.

WVU Student Government Association Board of Governors member Morgan Riddle has taken an avid interest in VWVU’s petition and ideals.

Riddle, who has friends currently serving in the military who are also students, said her eyes have been opened to issues student veterans face on campus, and she has made a commitment to helping meet their needs.

“The Veterans of WVU are really working hard to make sure their future service members who study here are taken care of, and it looks like their plans are going to come to fruition,” Riddle said.

“They seem to be incredibly hard workers, so I’m excited to see what they get accomplished.”

“It’s run by students, so it needs to be seen as such.

They are students and are dealing with their own lives and don’t necessarily have the resources or training to help other students.”

Chesanko said while the conversation at the event was beneficial, she believes actions speaker louder than words.

“I think it is bigger than our little discussion in that these don’t have to be dreams or ideas that people have on a panel.

These could be things that the University implements, and five years from now, we could be like ‘remember when we didn’t have that. Wasn’t that awful?’” she said.

“The thing is, these things need to not just happen during one specific week. It needs to be a continuous effort on the part of both students and faculty administration institutionally if we want to make a change.”

“It’s not about what you look like on the outside, it’s about what you feel like on the inside,” Billauer said.

In 2008, the LRO Foundation had the opportunity to help create a lasting impact in the life of a WVU student.

Senior psychology major Andrew Greenbaum heard about the LRO Foundation in the summer of 2008 following his snowboarding accident in Vermont that previous winter.

“It was people through the hospital I was at that got me involved in the program and got me out there,” Greenbaum said.

“Though I was never a big surfer before, I was able to get in the water and surf again. It’s great to get back out there and realize you can still do things.”

Greenbaum also said he keeps motivated by seeking the many rewarding things he finds in life daily.

“If you go out and do something, you ultimately have pretty good rewards for the most part, and you can see that everyday,” Greenbaum said. “The more you do, the more it pays off.”

After graduation, Greenbaum said he hopes to be a writer, go to business school to earn an MBA, and live an enlightened life.

“I think this event was important for individuals to see things from a different perspective,” Greenbaum said. “It’s important to learn that even when life takes a turn to the unthinkable, that one thinks their life could never go towards, it can be a bounce back, but they can still do anything.”

Greenbaum and Billauer agreed one of the most vital lessons they’ve learned throughout their journeys is that “being able to do it yourself and have your independence back is huge.”

“I knew that when I went surfing one day, fell off and continued floating and looking up at the sky, that I was actually living my dreams all along,” Billauer said.

Aside from the LRO Foundation, Billauer has had the opportunity be featured in the film “Step Into Liquid” and be a part of his own documentary, “Jesse’s Story.”

“I’m still doing everything I wanted to do, just in a different way,” Billauer said.

‘The Walking Dead’ returns with more action Laura Ciarolla copy editor

Get ready for a whole lot of blood, gore and good old-fashioned zombie killing. AMC’s “The Walking Dead” returned for its third season Sunday night, and, its premiere episode, “Seed” set the pace with a new and darker tone for the series.

Last season, things were moving pretty slowly on the farm. The big events occurred in the finales with Hershel’s barn and Shane’s death, but prior to those episodes, not too much action was taking place.

This season, things have definitely changed.

The episode begins after a long winter with Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Glenn (Steven Yeun), Hershel (Scott Wilson) and the gang literally fighting for food and their lives while wearing looks of hopelessness and desperation. Although this is nothing new, their attitudes have changed.

Where before they seemed to carry a glint of hope in their eyes and show some shadow of remorse when killing the undead, that is now gone. In its place is a barren desperation and ruthlessness we haven’t seen yet in most of the characters.

After learning the truth of the virus – that they are all infected and will “turn” when they die – the group’s demeanor has shifted. It’s almost as if everyone is finally acting like they know their number is up (if they somehow didn’t before), and they’ve decided to go down kicking and screaming.

One of the major differ-

‘The Walking Dead’ characters fight off zombies during its season three premiere. ences from the previous season is the amount of actual zombie killing in the episode. It seemed to me there were more walkers killed in this premiere episode than in the entire second season and more action by far. Rick has turned into a full-on badass, and he is now leading the group like the general of a small army. This time, everyone is more than willing to follow orders.

After coming across a zombie-infested prison, Rick decides it is the best place for the group. It could have food and medical supplies and provide

protection if they cleared it out. However, it is, like I said, zombie-infested. Before settling down, they all have to put down a LOT of walkers, and no one argues with Rick’s orders. The group members – including Carl (Chandler Riggs) – are becoming increasingly adept at it since the winter and almost treat it like a job at this point.

And I haven’t even mentioned the best part of the premiere.

Separated from the group in the second season finale, Andrea (Laurie Holden) has now teamed up with much-anticipated

It’s unclear who gave the video to Gawker.

In the suit against the Clems, Hogan claimed the video caused “severe and irreparable injury which cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages.”

Hogan is seeking the rights to the video in both lawsuits.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, wore a tight black T-shirt, black pants and dark sunglasses as he stood outside of the federal court in Tampa while his attorneys spoke to the media. He did not comment.

It’s not clear whether Hogan and Bubba the Love Sponge Clem are still friends. The Clems have since divorced.

Hogan acknowledged on various TV talk shows recently that he had sex with Heather Clem while he was

married to Linda Hogan. The Hogans have also divorced.

Hogan, his ex-wife and the couple’s son and daughter have appeared on the reality show “Hogan Knows Best.”

Stephen Diaco, a lawyer for Clem, said Hogan was the best man at the Clem wedding and he is also a godfather to Clem’s child.

“My hope is that these two can preserve their friendship,” said Diaco. “I can’t comment on the suit. This has caused harm to Bubba and he didn’t release it, he didn’t condone the release of it. He wants to find out who did that and he wants that person to be held accountable.”

new character Michonne (Danai Gurira), and she is everything fans hoped she’d be.

Wielding a sword and trailing two blinded and delimbed walkers chained together – her “pets” – Michonne is the ultimate survivor. She rivals Rick’s character and definitely overshadows Andrea’s feeble attempts at establishing a powerful female presence in the show, although the two make a good team-up.

So far, we don’t know very much about this mysterious newcomer, but we do know she can take down

a walker or two.

This season will involve a stark contrast between the two story lines of Rick and the gang and Michonne and Andrea.

While one presents a gritty, dark prison through which the characters must fight to survive, previews for the season show Michonne and Andrea entering the beautiful, somehow peaceful town of Woodbury – a place seemingly untouched by the virus.

But, things are not always as they seem, and it isn’t clear yet which will actually be the safer place.

Sunday’s series premiere

reached 10.9 million viewers on AMC, surpassing season two’s premiere record of 7.3 million. According to www.collider.com, “Seed” is the most-watched episode of the series to date, beating even the season two finale, which had 9 million viewers.

It is also the mostwatched drama series episode in basic cable history.

To watch “The Walking Dead,” tune in to AMC Sunday nights at 9 p.m. You can also catch up on seasons one and two on Netflix or iTunes. da@email.wvu.edu

Hulk Hogan sues friend, gossip site over sex tape TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan sued a disc jockey, the DJ’s ex-wife and a gossip website Monday after a sex tape involving Hogan and the woman was posted online.

Hogan said in two lawsuits that he had consensual sex with his best friend’s wife, Heather Clem, about six years ago in the Clems’ home, but he did not know he was being secretly recorded.

“Mr. Hogan had a reasonable expectation of his privacy, just as all Americans have a reasonable expectation of their privacy in their bedrooms,” attorney Charles Harder said.

The video was posted on the online gossip site Gawker.

Hogan is seeking $100 million in damages from the New York-based media company, which declined comment.

Musician killed while helping co-worker MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis musician B.B. Cunningham scored with a classic garage rock song and toured with Jerry Lee Lewis, but he also enjoyed his side job as a security guard because he liked standing up for other people. On Sunday, he died doing just that.

Cunningham co-wrote the 1967 hit “Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)” for his band the Hombres and toured more recently with Lewis.

The 70-year-old keyboardist, bassist and singer’s other job as a uniformed security guard provided a steady paycheck, his son said.

He was shot and killed over the weekend after he came to the aid of another security guard during a shootout at the Memphis apartment complex where they worked, police said Monday.

The gunfire began when a 16-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man fired shots at the other guard, police said. After hearing the shots, Cunningham began chasing the teen and the man into another apartment complex nearby, police said.

After another round of gunfire, Cunningham’s coworker found the musician and the teen lying in a courtyard with gunshot wounds.

Cunningham and the teen, identified Monday as Henry White, were pronounced dead on the scene.

Police identified the 22-year-old gunman as Dock

Britt. He fled the scene but was later was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Cunningham’s death. Investigators are still trying to determine who shot White.

The shooting shook Memphis musicians, many of whom looked up to the keyboardist who joined Jerry Lee Lewis’ band in 1997. He had had also been working on an album with his son.

Joseph Cunningham, the musician’s son, acknowledges that a regular paycheck was one reason why his father worked as a security guard.

“Most of Jerry Lee’s band, as a matter of fact, have jobs on the side because Jerry doesn’t tour consistently enough for them to make a living at it,” Joseph Cunningham said.

The former Air Force military police officer also had an interest in helping others, doing charity work and looking after those who lived in the apartment complex.

“He loved protecting people and standing up for people’s rights and watching their back,” Joseph Cunningham said.

Other prominent Memphis musicians who died this year include Memphis Horns tenor saxophonist Andrew Love and Booker T. and the MGs bassist Donald “Duck” Dunn.

“Music was his life. He was given a God-given talent,” Jo-

seph Cunningham told in a phone interview from Olive Branch, Miss. “He not only played, but he helped young musicians ... He was loved and well-respected.”

Born Blake Baker Cunningham Jr., B.B. Cunningham became friends in high school with Steve Cropper and Dunn, both founding members of Booker T. and the MGs. As a teenager, Cunningham helped run the family’s record label. In 1954, Sun Studio producer Sam Phillips asked Cunningham to add some percussion to a session by a young Elvis Presley.

Cunningham led the band the Six O’Clock Boys and was a member of the touring version of Ronnie and the Daytonas, known for the song

“G.T.O.” The touring group then became the Hombres, which scored a No. 12 hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in 1967 with the raw, edgy “Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out).”

The cult classic has been covered by John Mellencamp and used in the 2005 film “Elizabethtown.”

Cunningham later work at the famed Sounds of Memphis Studio and, in 1971, moved to Los Angeles, where he served as chief engineer at Independent Recorders.

There, he worked with Billy Joel, Elton John, and Lou Rawls.

Cunningham returned to Memphis a few years later and launched his own studio.

His solo album, “Hangin’ In,” was released in 2003.

Tuesday October 16, 2012

Monday, the West Virginia University President’s Office for Social Justice kicked off the annual Diversity Week with a series of events on WVU’s campus.

Among these events are a roundtable on “issues facing the LGBTQ community,” a Native American luncheon and a discussion on discrimination against obese people.

The President’s Office for Social Justice should be applauded for establishing Diversity Week as an annual series of events, thereby creating a forum for the discussion of a variety of issues.

the important role of promoting understanding among the diverse array of different races, religions and other identity groups that thrive at WVU. For students, it is important to take advantage of this opportunity and attend as many of these events as possible.

We are all guilty of stereotyping in one form or another, and sometimes all it takes is a discussion to open our minds and teach us to be more understanding.

There is no shortage of these enlightening discussions on WVU’s campus this week. The following list highlights some of the

events to be held throughout the week that we encourage you to attend.

Today At 1 p.m. in the Mountainlair, Amizade will be delivering a presentation on some of the servicelearning opportunities it provides across the globe. If you are interested in unique study abroad opportunities that emphasize civic engagement, you should definitely stop by.

At 6 p.m. in the Mountainlair’s Gluck Theater, author and motivational speaker Cheewa James will be hosting a discussion centered on her Native Amer-

ican heritage in a presentation about one of the bloodiest conflicts between a Native American tribe and the U.S. military.

Thursday At 1 p.m. in the Mountainlair’s Bluestone Room, a group of female Muslim students who don the Islamic head cover, called the hijab, will be delivering a presentation titled “The Islamic Hijab.” During this presentation, these students will describe what the hijab is and why they choose to wear it. Considering the recent spike in hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S., these efforts to reach out to

the broader community and educate the public on their faith are more important than ever.

Friday From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Morgantown International Festival will be held at Ruby McQuain Park. The festival will provide an “eating tour,” a parade and dancing. If any of those three things sound enticing to you on a Friday, after a long week of class, be sure to stop by.

ap

Preventative care to treat chronic conditions greatly reduces a person’s likelihood of visiting the emergency room.

ER visits cost a lot more than preventative care too.

So, it actually costs taxpayers more to deal with ER visits by uninsured Americans than it would for us to have the government subsidize health insurance and expand Medicare to include more uninsured Americans. On top of that, fewer people die from untreated chronic conditions, resulting in what some might refer to as a “win-win.”

Of course, “Obamacare” will subsidize health care costs and expand Medicare in 2014 when the law takes effect. And Romney says the

first thing he would do when he gets into office is repeal it.

Americans are showered with a lot of propaganda about the tyranny of Obamacare, with its foreboding death panels and oppressive overreaching practices, but the reality of the situation is very far from these doomsday prophecies. Risks to human life aside, Romney’s failure to understand how a lack of insurance impacts everybody’s lives in some way tells us just how out of touch he is with the nation.

Oddly enough, this is an issue on which Romney should probably side with Obamacare. Ann Romney, Mitt’s wife, is a breast cancer survivor as well as a Mul-

tiple Sclerosis survivor. If she were born into a poor family without the money to pay for health insurance, she would most likely have died without the money to pay for treatment.

There is no effective ER care for either of these illnesses if they are allowed to go unchecked by preventative care. Thus it’s a bit sobering that Romney would make a statement like the one he did, as in that situation, it’s very likely a person would die because she didn’t have insurance.

He is obviously not a subscriber to the philosophy of “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”

Efforts to stop early voting in key states must be defeated alex rubin the dartmouth

This election cycle, there has been a lot of talk about various election laws that have passed and will affect voters this coming November. However, one issue that has yet to take hold of the national spotlight is early voting. During the 2008 election, Barack Obama was able to win various key states and win the presidency because, in large part, he was able to clinch a large portion of those voters who voted early, either by mail or in person.

Early voting allows citizens to vote before Election Day, usually to accommodate out-of-state residents,

DA

such as college students, or those who will be unable to vote on the inconvenient Tuesday election day. In addition, as college students, some of us decide to vote in our home states as opposed to registering in New Hampshire. The absentee ballots that we send in are received upwards of a month before Election Day. Though these ballots aren’t counted until November 6, they still have a significant impact on election dynamics.

During the 2008 election, President Obama accrued so many votes during the early voting period in North Carolina that even though he lost the Election Day popular vote, he was still able to secure the state’s electoral votes. Though most of these early votes don’t occur

a month in advance, with some states having early voting periods the weekend before the election, there is something to be said about the impact early voting has.

Voting dynamics are, in large part, influenced by the specific socioeconomic groups that are physically able to vote. For example, for some people who may work odd hours or double shifts, holding Election Day during a weekday hinders their ability to cast a vote. The fact that most election days around the world don’t occur during the week but instead occur on weekends attests to the fact that our election calendar is antiquated.

The decision to hold elections on Tuesday is based on our agrarian history. Back when the major-

ity of Americans were farmers and needed a day to get to the polls, it seemed convenient to place Election Day on the day before market day, meaning that farmers could harvest their crops and then go to town and sell their crops as well as vote.

In modern times, Americans are increasingly located in cities and polling places have become more easily accessible to most Americans, which makes this out-ofdate procedure more inconvenient than anything else.

In a country in which 9:00 to 5:00 jobs are extremely common and in which voting on a Tuesday may be physically impossible for some, this choice may inadvertently serve to disenfranchise a select few.

Early voting acts as a so-

lution to this problem by accommodating those Americans who otherwise would not be able to vote, either because of the aforementioned obstacle or because, like us college students, they temporarily reside in another state.

With this in mind, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals recently overturned an Ohio law allowing only military personnel to participate in early voting. The court stated that all voters must be treated equally under Ohio law and that allowing early voting for some residents requires that it must be allowed for all.

Proponents of the law claimed that because military personnel could be deployed at any time, they deserved special privileges in terms of when they could vote. Although this point is

in fact true, when it comes to voting, any incapacity is equally legitimate. Whether deployed to foreign soil or unable to vote because of the necessity to work to provide for one’s own family, the incapacity is the same and results in the same inability to participate in the voting process. Therefore, early voting must be applied equally to all residents of a state or county.

A change in one factor or one aspect of the voting process, such as early voting, can have systemic effects that alter the nature of the election and voter dynamics. The exact nature of these effects is unknown in the best case, or intended in the worst, and therefore should be avoided at all costs to prevent any form of unlawful or unfair tampering with elections.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you could be unusually self-indulgent, and you’ll love every moment. A sweet tooth, as well as partying, could be the source of some weight gain. If you are single, you will delight in the “dating game.”

You even might give thought to playing the field. Know that it will take a very special person to get any commitment from you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH What could be complicated becomes significantly less so because of a discussion. When you state your feelings, others also are more likely to open up.

You could be doing a lot of questioning right now. Sorting through a lot of information takes time and determination. Tonight: Hook up with a key person.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Defer to someone who might be eminently more capable and who has the ability to look at situations quite differently from you. This person’s mind is always active. He or she understands you and the situation well and will be able to come up with an effective solution. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Your patience and ability to gain clarity -- even in the most difficult situations -- opens many doors. Additionally, your optimism helps others sometimes get past their issues. Remember, at this point in time, you are like a cat with nine lives; go for what you want! Tonight: Do not push yourself.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Your libido energies are high. Remember, it is your choice as to how you di-

rect them. You are far more upbeat than in the past, and this affects a project, a difficult interaction or even a budding relationship. Just avoid not doing anything with this special energy. Tonight: Not to be found.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You are most comfortable in a homey environment. If you are working, you could leave early and bring more work home or, if you can, take the day to work entirely from home. Some of you even might consider starting a homebased business. Express your feelings directly and compassionately. Tonight: Happy at home.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH You continue to express your feelings in a way others can relate to. Your willingness to verbalize your emotions is substantially increased. Avoid embellishing or elaborating details when dealing with someone who often doesn’t have the ability to focus for any length of time. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Become more aware of yourself and what you offer to others. You do not want to pull back, but giving too much has its liabilities. Try to detach from situations that might appear difficult or impossible to resolve. A little detachment goes a long way. Tonight: Treat someone to dinner.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Beam in what you want, as others are flexible. Someone appreciates your verbal and direct communication. A partner lets you know how much your thoughtfulness and caring means to him or her. You will have a long-overdue heart-to-heart talk with this person as a result. Tonight: With a spe-

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH Assume a low profile, especially if you do not want to maintain the lead in a key situation. Genuinely try to understand your liabilities, yet know when to accept an offer. Your words blend together with your feelings, both negative and positive. You will have a lot to think about. Tonight: Do for you.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Meetings are far more important than you might realize. You are in sync with others, and this causes opportunities to knock on your door.

You might feel excessive in your emotions and/or your finances. Those around you will open up as a result of your being less-than-perfect. Tonight: Where the fun is.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Put your best foot forward. Others respond to your efforts and admire your willingness to take the lead and accept responsibility. You might be quite playful and full of fun; however, you will want to suppress that side when dealing with authority figures. Tonight: Split town as soon as you can.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH You could be pushing the envelope. You also might want to do necessary research and create your own alternatives. Change the time of a meeting or be willing to miss it. Once you start exploring ideas and making calls to experts, you will not want to be distracted. Tonight: Listen to a great piece of music.

What exactly happens when Slightly Stoopid, a band known for their punk-reggae fusion, takes the stage?

Morgantown got a glimpse into genuine Stoopid culture Sunday night when they took the stage at the Metropolitan Theatre during their Fall 2012 tour.

Consisting of a mere nine days, the Top of the World Tour might as well be a holiday of sorts for a band that has been consistently touring for almost 20 years.

A crowd of both families and students from all walks of life packed into the theater to share in the magic that is Slightly Stoopid.

Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds opened for Slightly Stoopid, and brought their contrasting mix of both rock and reggae that made the entire set irresistible. Fresh off the Vans Warped Tour, the band featured a sound reminiscent of Warped’s golden days of

The band’s set consisted of both original songs from their most recent album, as well as songs such as “Shape of Things� and intermixing covers, which included songs by both Slightly Stoopid and The Zutons’ “Valerie.�

Though Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds has a great sound, at times the strong guitar and drum solos seemed to contradict the more feminine voice of the band’s lead singer, Moi. That aside, Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds is definitely a band worth looking into.

By the time Slightly Stoopid took the stage for their hour-and-a-half set, the crowd was more than prepared for their ability to make a packed concert feel like a personal show.

They played a mixture of both old hits and songs from their new album, all of which were happily welcomed by the crowd.

Songs from their 2012 album, “Top of the World,� including the title track and “Don’t Stop,� were yet again able to probe Slightly Stoopid’s ability to intermix various styles of music to create an unprecedented experience. “I love the way they incorporate so many different sounds into their music,� said Jess Graef, a freshman art and design student who has been following the band for more than five years. “I didn’t want it [the concert] to end.�

While songs such as “Ska Diddy� and their 2009 hit “Bandelero� had the crowd swaying to the carefree reggae infusion, the appropriate lyrics from “Bandelero,� “ganja never hurt no one� became ironic when the

lead singers, Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald each took joints from the hands of all-too-willing audience members throughout the show.

The band’s frontmen weren’t the only band members having fun, though. Throughout the show, various members of the eight-member ensemble would congregate around the stage sipping cups, cradling bottles, dancing around and just plain goofing off. “I like reggae a lot already, and I like their mixed sounds of contemporary reggae. It’s relaxing and fun,� said Rafiqua Haji, a junior anthropology student who attended the concert.

No songs were as eagerly welcomed as the band’s biggest song yet, “Collie Man,� to which various members of the audience raised lighters to the band. “The concert was awesome,� Haji said. “Good vibes and just a really fun time overall.� daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Tuesday October 16, 2012

Nick Arthur Associate Sports Editor

West Virginia’s season far from over As the fourth quarter clock slowly ticked down in Lubbock, Texas, you could sense a feeling among Mountaineer players, coaches and fans that hadn’t been experienced for quite some time.

In fact, it was the first feeling of defeat for the then-No.4 West Virginia football team since a home loss to Louisville Nov. 5, 2011 – 343 days prior to the letdown in Lubbock Saturday.

So, naturally, the first time a team feels the agony of defeat in nearly a year, it is going to bring about irrational reactions, especially when that collapse comes against an unranked foe.

While standing on the sidelines at Jones AT&T Stadium in front of the rowdy student section anxiously awaiting to rush the field, I received multiple text messages about the massacre that had just occurred.

One in particular from a loyal Mountaineer fan read, “That was fun while it lasted ... kiss a conference title goodbye.”

Now, this seemed to be a common theme among the West Virginia faithful following Saturday’s outing.

And I will be the first to tell you the Mountaineers were unprepared and essentially outmatched in every facet of the game on that sunny fall afternoon in Lubbock.

But there is no need to write off the 2012 season just yet.

It was one loss, people.

The Mountaineers currently sit at 5-1 on the season and 2-1 in Big 12 Conference play.

They sit just one game behind Kansas State for first place in the conference standings, and the Wildcats make the 1,000mile trip to Morgantown this weekend.

So, basically, West Virginia still controls its own destiny in terms of a conference title.

Also, two of WVU’s five wins in 2012 have come against ranked foes. Only five times since 1996 have the Mountaineers defeated at least two ranked opponents in a single season.

Also, for you historically superstitious readers, the 2005, 2007 and 2011 Mountaineer football teams – all of which earned BCS bowl victories – began the season just like 2012, at 5-1.

We can all agree West Virginia may not have looked like the fourth-best team in the Big 12 Saturday afternoon, let alone the No. 4 team in the country.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen didn’t hesitate to admit in his postgame press conference that his team was outcoached, outplayed and outmatched.

But the beauty of this new era of West Virginia football is that you get more than one opportunity to make your mark.

The Big East Conference would offer maybe one game a year against a ranked opponent.

In the Big 12, you get multiple opportunities to pad your resume for a quality postseason appearance.

Don’t hang your hat just yet.

The national championship, as you would assume, is out of the question.

But a BCS appearance, which we can all agree has been full of entertainment for the Mountaineers over the past decade, is definitely in reach.

Despite Saturday’s beating, West Virginia is in great position to make the 2012 season just as special as you thought. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege threw for 499 yards and six touchdowns against West Virginia Saturday.

Texas Tech quarterback outshines WVU’s Smith in upset victory by michael carvelli sports editor

A lot of the attention coming into Saturday’s quarterback matchup between Geno Smith and Texas Tech’s Seth Doege centered around the Mountaineer signal caller.

Smith was the Heisman Trophy frontrunner who had been throwing for more yards than any other quarterback in the Big 12 Conference. But in Texas Tech’s 49-14 win over the Mountaineers Saturday, it was Doege who outperformed Smith.

“I don’t think about that too much,” Doege said.

“The fact that made me excited was looking up at the scoreboard and seeing those numbers. That’s what internally made me a kid and enjoying those fans rushing the field. I’ve always wanted to be a part

of something like that, so that was awesome, too.”

The senior quarterback picked apart the West Virginia defense, as he threw for 499 yards. His six touchdowns were the most for an opposing player in WVU history.

He did most of his damage in the first half, while throwing for 336 yards and four scores while completing 21 of his 30 pass attempts.

The success the Red Raiders were able to have early on behind Doege and the passing game were crucial in putting pressure on the West Virginia offense to strike back on every possession, which it wasn’t able to do thanks to a stout defensive effort.

“We want to score on every drive,” Doege said. “We knew that obviously they’re one of the top offenses in the country. We did have

No. 1 West Virginia defeats OSU, Akron

By Robert Kreis sports writer

The No. 1 West Virginia rifle team showed success against No. 12 Ohio State and No. 15 Akron this weekend, and came away with a victory against both top-15 teams in what could be their first of two trips to Columbus, Ohio.

“It was a good match overall, (there were) a lot of good performances in there,” said Mountaineer head coach Jon Hommand.

“To shoot well somewhere – hopefully we’ll be going back for NCAA – I think that was useful.”

The benchmark score in rifle was 580 five years ago, according to Hammond, but the skill level has risen, bumping the benchmark up to 585 or 590. The benchmark may have risen, but Hammond feels as long as the Mountaineers can sport a plethora of 580 shooters, they should be fine.

“Anything in and around the 580s, and especially if your whole team is in there, than it is going to be pretty good,” Hammond said.

“Some of our guys may like to shoot a little bit higher, but for sure 580 is a little bit of a benchmark.”

Leading the way for the Mountaineers was Italian Olympian Petra Zublasing.

Zublasing, a senior, shot a combined score of 1184 –

good enough for first place at the match.

With the Olympian’s experience and skill set, Hammond expects to see Zublasing at the top of the podium frequently this season. “(Zublasing) is just an exceptional shooter,” Hammond said. “She is obviously a world-class shooter, so she is definitely one of the best in NCAA rifle, and I think definitely she’ll be (No. 1) most of the time.”

Zublasing may be a world-class shooter, but that does not keep her from working hard day in and day out.

“She is always working on things and learning on things,” Hammond said. “She is always going to be learning and improving, working on different things at different times. It’s not like her scores are going to change a whole lot, but she (is) continually getting better.

While Zublasing led the way as an upperclassman, a Mountaineer freshman followed up Zublasing’s performance with a secondplace finish himself.

Garret Spurgeon, out of Canton, Mo., shot 1173 Saturday, one point ahead of fellow teammate and third-place finisher Taylor Ciotola. “(Spurgeon) was really

confidence in our defense; we thought they were going to play well, but we did think that we were going to have to score points to win this game.

“You see the points on the scoreboard and how the offense played so well, but it helps us that much more when those guys play at a high level like they did today.”

Although he played an outstanding game, Doege was quick to deflect some of the praise to the group of guys who were able to give him the time he needed to find an open receiver.

“It’s huge for a quarterback to sit back there,” he said. “When you don’t have a pass rush, it’s a lot easier to sit back there and take your time going through your reads. It was huge that the offensive line played so well. We had a lot of opportunities to get the ball

downfield, and if they play the way they played today, it’s just going to continue, and we’re going to make plays.”

Most of the Red Raiders’ offensive success, especially in the passing game, came from big plays.

Texas Tech had 12 players with at least one play for more than 15 yards and seven of those players had a play go for at least 20 yards.

The majority of those big plays in the air were made by Jace Amaro and Darrin Moore. Amaro caught five passes for 156 yards and a score while Moore’s nine receptions went for 92 yards and three touchdowns.

“The rest of the guys stepped up. We had a lot of opportunities to go downfield on these guys,” Doege said. “It was huge that we won, won on routes, did a

really good job of catching and getting yards after the catch. It was really good to see those guys perform at a high level.”

After throwing for three interceptions and no touchdowns the week before against Oklahoma, the bounceback game was huge for Doege to get some confidence back.

“The success that he had today, I think a lot of people across the country saw it because everybody matches up the quarterbacks when you watch them on television,” said Texas Tech head coach Tommy Tuberville. “(West Virginia)’s got a great quarterback, and I thought Seth obviously did a heck of a job in just running our offense.

“It was just fun to watch him have success.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers victorious at Saints’ Vilma, NFLPA take West Virginia State Games bounty matter back to court

By Austin Seidel Sports Writer

The West Virginia University swimming and diving teams came away victorious at the West Virginia State Games this weekend in dominant fashion, tallying 35 first-place finishes in the two-day event and scoring more than 900 points on both the men’s and women’s side.

The bar is set high for West Virginia’s swimmers this year, as head coach Vic Riggs looks to return to elite form in both the men’s and women’s events after sending several athletes to the NCAA Championships last year.

The team started off slowly by Riggs’ standards and took only 10 first-place spots on the first day of the event.

The men’s swim team recorded 290 points, leading the second-place team by more than 100 points after the first day, as the women’s team recorded 292 points to hold a 48-point lead against Marshall.

“I just told them that I was disappointed in them,” Riggs said. “I said that there was no pride and no leadership on the men’s side, that they had to come out stronger in the second day.”

The men responded well, recording 14 first-place finishes, bringing their weekend total to 18 while scoring 910 points total.

Both the men and women broke several pool records during their trip to Marshall University for the tournament, with senior swimmer Rachel Burnett leading the way by breaking her individual 500-meter free record by nearly five seconds (4:54:84).

Burnett continued her record-shattering pace on the first day while breaking the 200m individual medley record and holding her own in the 400m medley relay in which the women’s 3:54:99 time took first place and the

“Any time you walk into somebody else’s facility, (records) are something that is discussed internally,” Riggs said. “It’s not something we glorify, but it’s definitely an ulterior goal that our swimmers have in mind every time.”

The Mountaineer divers came out strong in the second day, with junior Richard Pokorny leading the way with a victory in the men’s 3-meter event and sophomore Haily VandePoel taking second in the women’s 1-meter.

VandePoel’s second-place finish in the 1-meter board paired well with her firstplace finish in the women’s 3-meter event the day before.

“Michael (Grapner) has done a great job bringing in talent to really make this

(diving) team grow,” Riggs said. “We’ve doubled our women’s team, and we’ve added three to the men’s team, and it makes a big difference. We are no longer giving away points by only having two spots out there every event, and the divers we’ve added have done a great job so far in propelling this team.”

The West Virginia divers also faced Penn State Monday and came away with a victory as the men’s and women’s teams both went on to sweep PSU in the diving portion of their dual meet, which continues Friday.

West Virginia is slated to take on Penn State in the swimming portion of the meet Friday at 5 p.m. in the WVU Natatorium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma arrives at the NFL football headquarters.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jonathan Vilma is again asking a federal judge to overturn his suspension in the NFL’s bounty probe of the New Orleans Saints, and the NFL Players Association is making a similar request on behalf of three other players.

In papers filed in U.S. District Court in New Orleans on Monday, Vilma said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell conducted a “farcical review” of previously overturned disciplinary action before ruling last week that the Saints linebacker would remain suspended for the season.

Although Vilma still has an appeal pending within the framework of the NFL’s labor agreement, the linebacker said that Goodell has continued to abuse his power and demonstrate bias, leaving no hope for a fair process that would respect Vilma’s “industrial due process rights.”

Vilma also is requesting U.S. District court Judge Ginger Berrigan to bar Goodell from handling any further action in the bounty matter and appoint a neutral arbitrator.

“The commissioner of a professional sports league is not exempt from the requirement that he or she be impartial when serving as an arbitrator, and courts vacate arbitration awards when a commissioner falls short of the required standard of impartiality in considering a particular matter,” the new legal papers said. “Vilma has not and could not receive a fair hearing as long as Goodell presides. The supposedly fair and neutral arbitrator at the Appeal Hearings has prejudged the evidence, publicly proclaimed his conclusions in advance of the Appeal Hearings, and so vehemently endorsed the allegations against Vilma publicly and in advance of the Appeal Hearings that he could not possibly have acted in a fair and neutral manner.”

Vilma is facing the longest suspension of four players punished in connection with what the NFL has said was a pool that rewarded Saints players with improper cash bonuses for hits that injured op-

ponents. Saints defensive end Will Smith was docked four games, free-agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove seven games and Cleveland linebacker Scott Fujita, a former Saint, one game.

Smith’s punishment also remains unchanged from what Goodell initially handed down. Hargrove’s suspension was reduced by one game and he was given credit for five games missed as a free agent. Fujita’s ban was reduced from three games.

The NFLPA, which also filed papers Monday, is representing Smith, Hargrove and Fujita. Vilma has his own lawyers, Peter Ginsberg and Duke Williams.

All four players have already asked Goodell to recuse himself from the NFL appeals process, but he has so far refused. The NFLPA points out that although Goodell was given the power in the league’s current labor agreement to discipline players for conduct detrimental to the game, he may only do so if he complies with “governing legal standards.”

The union said Goodell violated those standards by talking publicly about the players’ alleged wrongdoing before the disciplinary process had begun, and by failing to consider conflicting witness testimony or mischaracterizations of evidence by league investigators.

A three-member appeals created by the NFL’s labor agreement vacated the initial suspensions on Sept. 7 and told Goodell he needed to clarify the basis for his rulings. The panel noted that punishments should not have anything to do with cash paid out of the Saints’ pay-for-performance pool, because an arbitrator other than the commissioner is supposed to handle such salary cap violations.

Vilma’s latest legal filing points out that Goodell has repeatedly mentioned pay-for-performance allegations as part of the basis for the initial punishment, and that the commissioner’s decision to maintain the same suspension for Vilma highlights the lack

of fairness in the process.

Saints coaches and players have acknowledged the existence of a pool that both fined players for penalties and offered rewards for big plays, including big, non-penalized hits that may have resulted in opposing players leaving games for a play or longer.

Goodell has stated that in their acknowledgement of the pool, the Saints have admitted they encouraged hits that were shown to have injured opponents. Regardless of intent, Goodell said, such a program is intolerable because it sends the message that hits that hurt opponents deserve a reward, and that can affect how players on team approach subsequent games.

Vilma and the NFLPA initially filed suit in July, but the matter was placed on hold when the NFL appeal panel vacated the initial player suspensions on technical grounds and the disciplinary phase started over.

Much of the content of Monday’s legal filing outlines claims made previously to the court, including: zz That the NFL has refused to share most of its evidence, including original documents that could have been fabricated or altered by a former fired Saints assistant coach with a purported vendetta against the club. zz That the league has refused has refused to allow its key witnesses to be cross-examined. zz That Goodell has ignored empirical data outlining the relative infrequency with which accused players were penalized or fined for rough play, or the relatively few number of players injured in games against the Saints.

“No system of American justice permits a person to be punished without having had the opportunity to substantively review, investigate and question the evidence and the sources of such evidence against him or her, and then to be judged by a person who previously had publicly pre-judged the merits of the allegations,” Vilma’s lawsuit said.

come more and more difficult as the season wears on.

“We are probably going to see some stronger teams than the two we had this weekend,” Hammond said. “I think definitely some of our guys would expect to come in and take those top three places.”

As the competition becomes fiercer, Hammond uses an analogy his players should be able to relate to.

“We are just using this semester for them to improve as shooters,” Hammond said.

“The matches are going to be like little exams along the way.”

If the matches are the exams, then the final must be the NCAA championships in March.

“You are really building up to NCAA’s throughout the year, and you want to peak,” Hammond said. “It’s accumulating all that knowledge you use throughout the year to be able to do your best at the end.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer seniors No. 16 West Virginia shine vs. Hartwick unbeaten since August

By Doug walp

By Shea Ulisney

Sunday was a memorable Senior Day for several upperclassmen on the No. 21 West Virginia men’s soccer team.

The Mountaineers not only posted the all-important winning result against a conference opponent but multiple seniors played key roles in what will be one of the last matches they play on their home pitch during their careers at WVU. West Virginia is scheduled to finish the year at home Oct. 30 against Stony Brook but could also grab home field advantage for the Mid-American Conference tournament in November by winning their final three conference games.

Senior midfielder Uwem Etuk led the effort Sunday with the match’s gamewinning goal in the 27th minute of the first half.

Etuk received a pass deep in Hartwick territory, pushed forward and fired a strong, left-footed shot that slipped past Hartwick goalkeeper Tom Buckner.

Buckner partially deflected the shot, slowing it down but not preventing it from crossing Hartwick’s goal line.

The goal was Etuk’s second of the season and the eighth of his collegiate career. The senior’s threepoint day Sunday also included an assist, which came on WVU’s first goal of the match. Afterward, Etuk candidly admitted that scoring on Senior Day carried a little extra significance, and it also certainly didn’t hurt to pick up a win in the process.

“Yeah, Senior Day is a special day for all of us. We got recognized,” Etuk said.

“But the most important thing for us was to go out with a win. So that’s what we did. Job completed.”

But Etuk wasn’t only one of the seniors who contributed to the memorable Senior Day victory.

Senior forward Shadow Sebele also found the back of the net for the Mountaineers Sunday with an insurance goal that came in the 62nd minute. While forward Peabo Doue, another senior, ultimately set up the scoring op-

The No. 16 West Virginia women’s soccer program has made a name for itself so far this season in Big 12 Conference play. The Mountaineers are currently in first place in the Big 12 conference with a record of 5-0-1 and with 16 points.

This year, the Mountaineers had their first win over the nation’s top ranked team, after defeating the 2011 defending NCAA Champions Stanford at the Penn State Invitational 1-0, putting an end to Stanford’s 64-match regular season unbeaten streak.

The Mountaineers have not lost a match since an Aug. 31 game, a doubleovertime match against Penn State in the WVU 90 Minute Classic.

West Virginia held a seven-game winning streak from Sept. 14 through Oct. 7. However, the streak was broken after last Friday’s matchup against Baylor that resulted in double overtime tie, 1-1.

The Mountaineers have competed in five doubleovertime matches this season, which resulted in four ties and one loss.

Sophomore goalkeeper Sara Keane is ranked No. 4 in the Big 12 standings in saves. And in Friday night’s game against Baylor, Keane tied a career high with eight saves.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown was pleased by Keane’s performance in last Friday’s game.

“Keane was good for us,” Izzo-Brown said. “For her to be big in the box was huge.”

Keane’s save percentage (.802) is ranked No. 6 in the Big 12 Conference.

Junior forward Frances Silva is ranked No. 6 in the conference and is leading the Mountaineers with 22 points from 10 goals and 2 assists.

Silva was the first WVU women’s soccer player named the 2012 Disney Soccer National Player of the Week Sept. 26 after scoring three goals, including two game-winners, to give WVU its first Big 12 victories against Texas Tech 3-2, and Oklahoma State 1-0.

Senior Shadow Sebele scored his first goal of the season against Hartwick Sunday on Senior day. portunity for his fellow upperclassman.

After Doue darted down the left side of the pitch, and keept possession while slipping past several Hartwick defenders, Doue was able to connect on a quick, smart pass to an attacking Sebele inside Hartwick’s box. Sebele wasted no time as he deposited the ball past a sprawling Buckner into the back right corner of the goal.

“I know when Peabo gets the ball out wide that he is going to go down the line and beat his man,” Sebele said after the match. “I just tried to run to the box and get that second ball. I made the run, and Peabo played a great ball that I could finish.”

The goal was the senior Sebele’s first of the season and fourteenth overall in his career at West Virginia.

“It’s very special. I was getting kind of worried, going all these games without a goal,” Sebele said. “But I knew the goal was going to come. I thought I’ve been playing well, just hadn’t got the goal. And for it to finally come during senior day, I’ll accept it.”

West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc told the media after the match that although he was just happy the team scored three times, he was also pleased it was two of his seniors who found the back of the net on Senior day.

“After the fact, realizing that it was two seniors that scored, it’s great for them,” LeBlanc said.

Another West Virginia senior, goalkeeper Pat Eavenson, also contributed to the Mountaineers’ victory that kept them undefeated in the Mid-American Conference.

Eavenson didn’t record a save and didn’t allow a goal to Hartwick, but he was also a constant vocal presence in WVU’s back to help direct defenders and arrange players for the Mountaineers’ countless offensive attacks while picking up the win.

The senior has now posted 11 wins in his career throughout two seasons with the Mountaineers. Eavenson originally transferred from UNC Charlotte as a junior. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Schwindel was the second West Virginia women’s soccer player named the Disney Soccer National Soccer Player of the Week after helping the Mountaineers remain in first place in the Big 12 standings with a five-point weekend Oct. 5 and 7 against Kanas and Iowa State.

In the Big 12 standings for points per game, Schwindel and Silva are ranked second and third, respectively.

The duo is a force to be reckoned with, according Izzo-Brown and teammates.

Holgorsen expects WVU’s biggest challenge vs. Kansas State

By Greg madia Multimedia editor

The No. 13 West Virginia Mountaineers are trying to bounce back from this past weekend’s humbling loss to Texas Tech.

WVU was outgained 676 total yards to 408 yards.

The Red Raiders exploited a defense that has given up 157 points throughout its last three games. And once Texas Tech took the lead, the Mountaineers were not prepared to come from behind.

“We went out there and once we fell behind, I think our guys weren’t mentally tough enough to handle another shootout,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Holgorsen sensed the lack of energy WVU had after it fell behind to a large deficit. But when West Virginia flipped the page to Monday in practice to focus on Kansas State, that energy seemed to change.

That is where the luxury of being in the Big 12 Conference comes in handy. Despite losing to Texas Tech, the Mountaineers and Holgorsen realize they have another shot to get a big win this week.

“Sense of urgency was a lot better than it was during the (Texas Tech) game, during the travel based on these guys’ confidence taking a hit,” Holgorsen said.

“I think we’ll show up and play a lot better.”

WVU has the fourthranked Kansas State Wildcats coming into Morgantown this weekend. The Wildcats have one of the nation’s premier athletes in quarterback Collin Klein, who has 17 total touchdowns on the season.

“This will be our biggest challenge of the year, without question. They are very tough; they’re a physical group; they are extremely disciplined,” Holgorsen said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s offense, defense or special teams; their whole program is built around being disciplined.”

Kansas State doesn’t make mistakes. It doesn’t beat itself. It is the secondleast penalized team in the country. The Wildcats put themselves in position to win games.

“They do a great job of controlling the clock. Obviously, it starts with their quarterback Collin Klein.

He just does a great job of taking care of the football,” Holgorsen said. “All of their skill guys do a great job of taking care of the football.”

Head coach Bill Snyder’s Wildcats lead the conference in turnover margin.

In Big 12 play, Kansas State has forced nine turnovers and has given the ball away just once. The Wildcats play fundamentally strong football and keep the ball out of their opponent’s hands.

This week will be no different as they try to keep the ball out of Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith’s hands. Holgorsen feels that won’t change WVU’s game plan. “(Kansas State) only has a couple of turnovers all year and being good on third down and then just having the understanding that they will control the clock doesn’t change what we’ll do defensively,” Holgorsen said. “Our job is to stop the run, try to create turnovers and get off the field.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
