WVU Hospitals plans $248 mil expansion by mackenzie mays city editor

West Virginia University Hospitals has announced plans for a $248 million expansion that will create 139 new patient beds and could provide up to 750 permanent jobs for local residents.

The four-year project will include the construction of a 10-story tower, which will work to address capacity issues and improve health care needs by enhancing departments such as the Jon Michael Moore Trauma Center and the Neonatal Inten-

sive Care Unit.

“Support and patient care services throughout the hospital will be expanded and improved. Once the project is completed, the hospital will have a new and significantly expanded emergency department that will provide enhanced support to the Trauma Center, which treats approximately 4,000 trauma patients a year,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Bruce McClymonds.

“NICU will be substantially expanded and upgraded, enabling WVU Healthcare profes-

Tomblin expressed his hopes for what he calls “a giant step forward in patient care.”

“These 750 good jobs, with benefits, show that West Virginia is moving forward,” Tomblin said. “These are good-paying jobs and they’re jobs that will save lives.”

McClymonds said the project will continue to benefit the state’s economic status.

“WVU Healthcare is an enormous force for economic advancement in West Virginia,” McClymonds said. “ The completion of this project will enable more West Virginians to stay in the state for their care and will create an additional 750 high paying jobs at an estimated annual payroll of over $60 million.”

Bell-ringing ceremony honors student’s memory by kelsey montgomery staff writer

When the clock on Woodburn Hall struck noon on Friday, the bell located at Oglebay Plaza rang three times during a moment of silence to honor the passing of West Virginia University student Spencer Crews.

The ceremony was held by the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity and Office of Student Life.

“On behalf of Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity and West Virginia University, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Spencer Crews,” said Lauren Lagana, the memorial bell ringing chair of Alpha Phi Omega.

Crews was a senior biology student from Barboursville, W.Va., and was a 2007 high honors graduate of Cabell

Midland High School. Crews was born on Oct. 22, 1988, and was the son of Greg and Gina Crews.

Crews passed away on Dec. 5, 2011, and his memorial services were held on Dec. 9 in Barboursville.

“I know that Spencer will always be alive on our campus, in your hearts and through your wonderful experiences that he and his loved ones had together,” said Kim Mosby, the senior associate dean from the Office of Student Life. “He will be greatly missed at West Virginia University, and it is a far better place for his having been a student here.”

Mosby said Crews held several achievements during his years on campus, including serving hundreds of volunteer hours in the pediatric unit of Ruby Memorial Hospital.

Kenneth Morris, descendant of both Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, speaks at the annual WVU Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration on Friday.

Descendant of famous African American leaders talks ‘21st-century slavery’ by carlee lammers staff writer

When the West Virginia University Center for Black Culture & Research hosted a Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Friday, they wanted to feature leaders who exemplified King’s legacy of pursuing justice.

For Kenneth Morris, “living the legacy” is something with which he can truly resonate.

Morris served as the keynote speaker at the annual commemoration and is a descendant of both Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington – two lead-

ers who overcame great oppression to fight for change.

As the great-great-great grandson of Douglass and the great-great grandson of Washington, Morris shared stories of being a young boy and sitting on the laps of family members who had the opportunity to meet both men.

“I thought to myself that the hands that touched the great Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington also touched mine,” he said. “And then I realized we’re not that far removed from our history.”

For many years, however, Morris said he didn’t feel closely connected with

the work of his ancestors.

He had started his own business and believed Douglass and Washington’s work only held truth in issues of the past.

“I truly live in the shadows of these great people, and I took it for granted,” Morris said.

However, things took a turn in Morris’ life four years ago when a friend handed him a copy of National Geographic, which featured an article entitled “21st Century Slavery.”

Morris said he was shocked to learn

Journalism professor receives MLK Award for documentary work by cassia king correspondent

West Virginia University Associate Professor of journalism Joel Beeson was recognized Monday with the Martin Luther King, Jr. Award for his documentary work on black WWI soldiers in southern West Virginia.

Each year, WVU hosts the Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast, sponsored by the WVU Center for Black Culture & Research. The CBCR presents the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Achievement award to an individual who embodies the spirit of King by humanitarian works to better human rights and equality in the state.

Beeson is a human rights

activist and photographer, and he received the award for his work in McDowell County.

Beeson has created an online exhibit for the Kimball World War I Memorial, and students of the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism contribute to the site each semester.

The project included an exhibit installation to the memorial in Kimball, W.Va., called “Soldiers of the Coalfields: The Story of African American Soldiers in World War I.” Beeson also created the PBS- aired documentary, “Fighting on Two Fronts: the Untold Stories of African American WWII Veterans,” which is where he met Marcus Cranford, who introduced

and presented Beeson with the award.

Cranford said when Beeson first approached him about the documentary he thought Beeson would get pictures, ask questions and then leave, but Beeson showed a deeper interest, and the two became friends.

“I couldn’t hardly speak because it really elated me, and I felt it an honor and a privilege to do that,” Cranford said.

“I would like to say that he has been a friend and a brother.”

He said he felt Beeson’s work would create a conversation about the roles of African American’s in veteran history and black history in general.

The breakfast also honored Benjamin Seebaugh, political

science and international studies student, with the Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship.

Seebaugh has been active in working for minority rights on campus, and he founded the Student Advocates for Legislative Advancement. Seebaugh is actively working through student government to begin a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender studies minor.

He has also lobbied for a LGBT anti-bullying committee.

The key speaker for the unity breakfast was Patricia Lee, director of the WVU Entrepreneurship Law Clinic at WVU College of Law. Lee said King had an important influence on her own life.

Personal tragedies spur W.Va. mine safety proposal CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — For two West Virginia lawmakers who lost fathers in coal mining accidents, preventing disasters like the 2010 Upper Big Branch explosion has taken a personal turn with Monday’s introduction of a bipartisan safety proposal.

House Speaker Rick Thompson was not yet born when a roof fall killed his father in 1952 at age 21. Delegate Charlene Marshall’s dad died in the mines when she was 6. Now 78, the Monongalia County Democrat later lost her stepfather in a coal mine accident as well.

One of six children, Marshall recalls fleeing to a closet to smell her father’s sweater in the years following his death – like Thompson’s, in a roof fall – “to make me feel better.”

“I would never want any young child to go through some of the things that I did,” Marshall told The Associated Press

All patient rooms will also become privatized.

McClymonds said with state-of-the-art renovations in the works, WVU health care services has the potential to attract more and more patients in need across the country.

“The best health care is ‘local,’ assuming the services and expertise are available to provide care to those patients,” McClymonds said.

Lee said march was the precipice of change for her, and as a 9-year-old girl she would never forget sitting with her family in front of a small black-and-white television to watch the event.

“To see where we need to head as we march forward, I ask you each this question,” she said. “Where does the injustice lie in your community? Are there individuals or groups of people that

on Monday.

Thompson and Marshall are among the 11 lawmakers sponsoring Monday’s bill. In addition to increased training and stiffer sanctions for violations, the measure also proposes improving the role of miners’ families during investigations. This would include allowing these survivors or their representatives to sit in on investigator interviews.

For years, both Thompson and Marshall knew little of what killed their fathers, the two legislators told AP. Their families had relied instead on word-ofmouth from other miners or relatives.

Marshall said she was campaigning door-to-door once when a voter told her he may have helped carry her father’s body out of his Osage mine.

Only recently did Thompson learn of a brief federal report on expanding its scope of specialty services enabling more patients to stay in the state for their care. We expect that trend to continue in the future, resulting in an increasing demand for health care services from WVU.” Dr. Christopher Colenda, chancellor for WVU Health Sciences, said the expansion will also benefit the University’s educational efforts and outreach programs.

“Increasing state-of-the-art clinical care space will allow us to enhance our 21st century academic health system,” Colenda said. “It impacts everything we do – from research to clinical care to educating future generations of health care providers.”

WVU Vice President of Student Affairs Kenneth Gray said the University is “committed to realizing King’s dream on this campus.”

Gray said the 2020 Strategic Plan for the Future and how it will continue to promote King’s principles through inclusiveness and diversity.

Gray focused on King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and said he wanted WVU to keep a commitment to King’s work and ideals.

“We continue to share his hope that ‘in some not-toodistant tomorrow, the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty’,” Gray said.

his father’s accident, which differed both from the family’s version and an account in a newspaper clipping unearthed by a constituent.

“Family members want to know what happened. When they’re in the dark, it makes the hurt that much harder to stand,” said Thompson, D-Wayne.

The bill also orders a review of the three reports issued so far by Upper Big Branch investigators.

This provision’s goal: to identify and then remedy the problems with enforcing safety standards each cited in the wake of the worst U.S. coal mining disaster in four decades.

The explosion in the underground Raleigh County mine killed 29 miners. All three reports – from a special independent investigation, the United Mine Workers union and federal regulators – fault thenowner Massey Energy Co. for

allowing the conditions that led to the blast. The federal report, issued late last year by the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration, further blamed the disaster’s root cause on Massey’s “systematic, intentional and aggressive efforts” to conceal lifethreatening problems.

This study could trigger a wide-ranging rewrite of state safety regulations and sanctions for violators, Thompson said.

“We’ve tried to recognize the hard work behind the investigative reports, and to prevent these things from occurring,” the speaker said.

A related provision would create a special investigative panel to review any future underground accident, specifically to recommend legislation if deemed necessary.

“I hope we never use that panel,” Thompson said. “But we’ve noticed a weakness in the

system.”

Contributing to or permitting a regulatory violation would become a felony under the bill.

Also responding to Upper Big Branch, the measure proposes making it a felony to announce when inspectors enter a mine, punishable by a fine and one to five years in prison. Though illegal under federal law, investigators found that the mine’s guards would radio such alerts.

Other provisions would double the penalties for lying to investigators, to up to a year in jail and a $10,000 fine, and more than triple the civil penalties for health and safety violations from $3,000 to $10,000.

The bill would make permanent a recently created tollfree line for anonymous whistleblower tips, and require the phone number to be posted prominently at all mines. It would allow miners to leave ar-

eas they reasonably believe to be unsafe, and extend their pay from the end of that day’s shift to up to 10 days when safety violations force a mine’s idling.

The measure also would require mining machines to shut off automatically once methane gas levels reach a certain level.

The state’s Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety reviewed this provision and recommended the proposed methane level, Thompson said.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin also plans to introduce mine safety legislation this session, prompted in part by Upper Big Branch. He told the Legislature during last week’s State of the State address that he will propose whistleblower protections as well as new standards for tamping down explosive coal dust and mandatory sensors on long wall mining machines for detecting methane.

Former W.Va. Gov. Hulett C. Smith dies at 93 CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Former West Virginia Gov. Hulett C. Smith, who signed bills in the 1960s that abolished the state’s death penalty and implemented its first strip mining laws, has died. He was 93.

Smith’s family announced Monday that the former governor died Sunday in Arizona, where he had moved to an assisted living facility last fall.

Smith, a Democrat, first ran for governor in 1960, but failed to win his party’s nomination. He was elected four years later, at a time when governors were limited to a single term.

During his tenure as the state’s 27th governor, the Legislature enacted measures to control air and water pollution and to protect human rights.

When he signed the bill ending the state’s use of the death penalty, Smith noted West Virginia was the ninth state to do so and said it would prevent wrongful convictions leading to executions.

“All of this is part of a groundswell of public opinion favoring the abolishment of the death

“I remember sitting in my living room reading about a young girl forced to service 30 to 45 men a day. As I was reading, I could hear my daughters laughing in their bedroom as my wife put them to bed,” he said. “I thought to myself, ‘This is what young girls are supposed to be doing.’ I went into their room and I couldn’t even look them in the eyes.”

At that moment, the Frederick Douglass Family Foundation was born.

As the foundation’s president, Morris now travels to schools across the country to carry out the organization’s mission of “Abolition through Education.”

Morris speaks on the issues of human trafficking and the various forms of modern-day slavery and said he hopes to empower children to make a difference through service learning projects.

“We live in modern times,

penalty, for the possibility of judicial error in such cases is a wrong that can never be righted, because it is almost always too late,” he said in prepared remarks for the March 1965 signing.

Another significant measure enacted during his term was the Modern Budget Amendment, which made the governor responsible for developing the state’s budget.

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said Smith led West Virginia through some of its worst tragedies, including the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967 that killed 46 people and the deaths of 78 coal miners in the Farmington No. 9 mine explosion in 1968. Smith also was governor when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

“Gov. Smith was a uniter, and I can only imagine how he would approach our political division today. I hope that his example helps all of us see the good in each other and work better together,” Manchin, D-W.Va., said in a statement.

Rep. Nick Rahall said the state and the nation have lost “a chamand the echoes of slavery are too far to hear, but if we listen closely we will hear the cries of slavery today,” he said. “When we listen close enough – that’s when change will happen.”

Once, while speaking at an elementary school, Morris said a young girl asked him how he could possibly fill the shoes of such great ancestors.

Astounded by the young girl’s question, he found himself unable to answer her.

Later that day, Morris took part in a tour of Washington’s home.

While posing for a picture in Washington’s bedroom during the tour, Morris found himself standing directly next to a pair of Washington’s shoes.

Morris said he contemplated slipping on the shoes, but something stopped him.

“I realized that those shoes are too big to fill; I can’t stand in them,” he said. “But, I can take the shoes that I’ve got – and you all can take the shoes that you’ve got – and together we can lead the way to a brighter future.”

WVU freshman Maggie Steel said she left the event feeling inspired by Morris’ efforts and the change he de-

pion, a thinker and a doer, one who led a life of service to his fellow man.”

Rahall, D-W.Va., said Smith was a born leader who only followed one thing: the truth as he saw it.

“He was a true leader and a kind gentleman who left a positive mark on our state,” said Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said Smith became a champion for better state government during some of the most turbulent times in the nation’s history.

“Gov. Smith enabled our state to take monumental steps forward during his time in office.

Today, we remember the progress made under his leadership, and the man who led the way,” Tomblin said.

U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller said Smith was “a staunch advocate for the less fortunate.”

“Like all West Virginians, I was saddened to learn that Governor Smith had died. He was a great and trusted friend, and someone I deeply admired,” said Rockefeller, D-W.Va. Born in Beckley on Oct. 21,

1918, Smith was the offspring of a political family. His father, Joe L. Smith, served eight terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, from 1929 to 1944, and founded Beckley’s first radio station, WJLS, in 1939.

Hulett Smith attended public schools in Raleigh County, and graduated with honors from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Finance and Administration, where he majored in economics.

Following his graduation from the Wharton School, Smith worked in the insurance business and at his family’s radio station.

During World War II he served in the U.S. Navy, rising to the rank of lieutenant, and ultimately became a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve.

After leaving public office in 1969, Smith returned to work at the Home Insurance Agency, becoming president of the company. He also took on the duties as secretary-treasurer of two Beckley-area hospitals.

In retirement, Smith became an outspoken advocate for the environment.

Mosby also presented Crews’ father a certificate to memorialize Crews as a member of the academic and student life at WVU. “Spencer loved this University more than anything,” Greg said. “In fact, when I sent him off to be a student here, he never wanted to go home because he loved being here.”

Crews’ friends who attend WVU were also present at the ceremony. Several of his friends spoke about the relationships they formed with the WVU student and how much he loved being a Mountaineer.

“I want to thank the University for this acknowledgement and special services. It means so much to me and my family,” Greg said. “We love this University and we always will.”

No. 3 West Virginia defeats No. No. 21 WVU continues 16 Akron to stay undefeated domination against Rutgers by sebouh majarian sports writer

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia head coach Jon Hammond is happy with his team’s training coming off a long break in play.

by alex sims sports writer

Despite experiencing some technical difficulties early on in the match, the No. 3 West Virginia rifle team outdueled No. 16 Akron 4,691-4,554 to improve to 7-0 on the season.

The Mountaineers’ secondbest team effort of the season was suspended for more than an hour during the first relay after the electronic target system at the WVU rifle range malfunctioned.

After the issue was resolved, several WVU shooters went on to post personal best scores, leading to an easy victory over the Zips.

The Mountaineers dominated in both guns on Saturday, topping the Zips 2,3672,295 in air rifle and 2,324-2,259 in smallbore.

WVU topped its previous season high in air rifle of 2,364 shot against Army but came just short of matching its best combined score on the season of 4,693, which also came against the Black Knights.

“Air rifle was as solid we’ve had across the board for the

whole team,” said West Virginia head coach Jon Hammond.

“They are shooting the right way and executing the things they’ve been doing in training, which is really good to see.”

Individually, junior Petra Zublasing once again paced her squad and the opposition, using a 597 in air rifle and a 589 in smallbore for a combined total of 1,186.

The Appiano, Italy, native led the match in both guns.

Freshmen Thomas Kyanko and Amy Bock followed, both with personal-best combined scores of 1,174 and 1,172, respectively.

Kyanko and Bock joined Meelis Kiisk and Taylor Ciotola as the four Mountaineer freshmen to post personal-best scores against Akron.

WVU shooters posted the top-six individual air rifle scores as well as the top-six smallbore scores.

Zublasing, Kyanko and Bock shot the top-three scores in air rifle with a 597, 594 and 589 respectively.

Kiisk, Ciotola and senior Justin Pentz rounded out the top six, all shooting a 588.

The results were almost identical in smallbore as Zublasing, Bock and Kyanko paced the action, recording a 589, 583 and 580, respectively.

Once again, Ciotola, Pentz and Kiisk followed with scores of 578, 577 and 575 respectively.

Sarah Benjamin was the only Akron shooter to match any of West Virginia’s counting scores, with a 587 in air rifle to tie senior Michael Kulbacki.

Though he was not in the count, Luke Nelson led the Zips with a combined total score of 1,146.

This dominant performance after a two-month suspension for winter break is one the Mountaineers will now look to replicate going forward.

“You really need that break after the fall,” Hammond said.

“We’ve had enough training time to get back into it and now we can start doing a lot of match prep and get as many matches under our belt (as possible) and hopefully be at peak form come the end of the semester.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers end month-long break with two qualifying finishes

West Virginia runners compete in a race last semester.

by amit batra sports writer

A month had gone by since the West Virginia track and field team competed.

WVU resumed its season Saturday afternoon in the Nittany Lion Challenge in State College, Pa. The Mountaineers had tough competition with Penn State, Pittsburgh, Albany, Maryland and Cornell all in the meet.

“We travel to Penn State as often as we do during the season to face the level of competition their meets provide,” said West Virginia head coach Sean Cleary.

At the PSU Nittany Lion Challenge two Mountaineers earned Big East Conferencequalifying marks.

Senior Meghan Mock qualified for the Big East championships with a 5.53-meter high jump, earning a third-place finish.

Junior high jumper Sydney Cummings was also able to qualify for the Big East meet

with a 1.70-meter mark, also earning a third-place finish.

“Our coaching staff is satisfied with today’s effort,” Cleary said. “We have areas we certainly need to work on, but that is expected after a long layoff.

We will be improved next week at home.

“All in all, it was a good way to start the new year.”

Throwers Heather Adams and Terina Miller posted high finishes with a 15.93 mark and a 15.82-meter mark, respectively.

Triple jumper Stormy Nesbit matched her previous 11.90-meter mark last month at the WVU Holiday Classic. Nesbit had already qualified for the Big East.

Redshirt freshman Alison Kimble finished No. 20 in the mile run with a time of 5:25:28.

Other Mountaineers who performed strongly were Sarah Martinelli, Hallie Portner, Lauren Moskal and Alex Klauke in the 1,000-meter run.

Senior Brittany Wolford competed well in the 400-meter dash, with Wolford placing No. 11 in 58.92 seconds. Sophomore Kristen McWhorter finished at 1:04:20, which was good for No. 15. In the 600-meter run, redshirt sophomore Arielle Gaither finished No. 12 at 1:41:64.

A lot has changed for the No. 21 West Virginia gymnastics team from a year ago, starting with the promotion of Jason Butts to head coach following the retirement of legendary coach Linda Burdette-Good.

One thing that hasn’t changed since 1983 – when WVU started competing against Rutgers – is the Mountaineers (2-1, 2-0 EAGL) loss record against the Scarlet Knights (0-2, 0-2) following a 193.425-191.65 win Sunday afternoon.

West Virginia remains undefeated in 50 attempts against their Eastern Atlantic Gymnastics League foe from New Jersey by winning three of four events, including tying on the bars.

Last week, the Mountaineers set a new school record for a season opener scoring 195.1 as they finished behind No. 13 Penn State, but ahead of Maryland.

Sophomore Hope Sloanhoffer made her third career start as an all-arounder scoring a 38.825, falling second to Rutgers’ Luisa Leal, who won the all-around with a 38.85.

Senior Tina Maloney finished third with a 38.575 performance.

WVU was victorious on vault (48.975-48.425), beam (48.4-48.0) and floor (48.87548.05), while tying on bars with each team scoring 47.175.

“We had quite a few mistakes, but we fought through it and came back, and nobody gave up on the meet because

a lot of the time it’s really easy – once one thing goes wrong, we’re like ‘its over, there’s no point in fighting’,” Sloanhoffer said. “Jason has really stressed for us to fight, and we did.”

The Scarlet Knights dropped their second consecutive meet against an EAGL opponent after falling 191.05189.575 to New Hampshire a week ago.

Freshman Dayah Haley continued to impress in her second collegiate meet, opening the meet by matching her score of 9.775 from last weekend.

The Mountaineers were led on vault by Sloanhoffer and Alaska Richardson, who each received scores of 9.875.

Richardson rebounded from a tough start to her season, when her hand slipped off of the vault table causing her to ditch the attempt and land safely, rather than risk an injury. “(Alaska) was still a little bit nervous, but she came through with flying colors,” Butts said. “To come back from last week and tie for first is a great accomplishment.”

The second rotation featured the Mountaineers on the uneven bars, where they performed below their expectation due to a few mistakes.

The Scarlet Knights claimed the top three scores in the event with Leal taking the top spot with a 9.825, followed

by Danielle D’Elia (9.65) and Alexis Gunzelman (9.625).

Three-time all-EAGL bars first team honoree Nicole Roach led the Mountaineers in fourth place with a routine that earned her a 9.6. Kay-

lyn Millick placed second for WVU – and fifth in the event – with a 9.575 showing.

The Mountaineers turned the tables on the beam as Sloanhoffer (9.775), Millick (9.75) and Beth Deal (9.725) took the top three spots.

The final rotation featured the Mountaineers on the floor while the Scarlet Knights took to the beam, as WVU held a slight 144.55-143.65 edge.

Millick and Sloanhoffer each scored a 9.8 on the floor exercise, tying for first. It was Millick who opened the event strong, setting the bar as the Mountaineers took six of the top seven spots.

“It’s so much easier to fight for every tenth (point) when you know you have the team behind you, when they truly care about you and how you do instead of being out there hoping they’re behind you,” Sloanhoffer said.

The Mountaineers also had a lot of fan support, as more than 800 people were in attendance for the meet. One such fan was Amy Bieski, who graduated a year ago second on the programs list for career points. She was also named an honorary guest.

“It’s amazing, especially with the other sports that are going on right now. The fans were great, there was a lot of energy again this weekend and we’re always thankful for all their support,” Butts said.

West Virginia will make its first road trip of the season when it travels to Ohio to battle Bowling Green Saturday at 6 p.m. sebouh.majarian@mail.wvu.edu

WVU drops Michigan State on road by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia wrestling team used a quick start to help down Michigan State 23-12 on the road this weekend in East Lansing, Mich.

The Mountaineers grabbed momentum early in the match, using four straight victories to help build a 17-0 lead.

“It was significant and impactful for us to build that 17-0 lead in the beginning,” said WVU head coach Craig Turnbull. “Starting the match with some pace and getting wins under our belt was critical.”

With the victory, the Mountaineers improved their overall record to 3-2, while Michigan State dropped to 2-4 for the season.

After a tough loss to Maryland, redshirt sophomore Nathan Pennesi was able to bounce back in his new weight class.

Pennesi was able to successfully covert a takedown in the final 30 seconds to give him a 8-0 edge.

“Nathan was so much more comfortable this week at 133 pounds, and that looked a lot more like the Nathan we are used to seeing,” Turnbull said.

“It was a great effort by Nathan to get the bonus points that made a difference in the team score.”

Another standout performance was by sophomore Michael Morales. Morales, who wrestled his second match of the season for the Mountaineers, pinned Brian Gibbs at the 3:20 mark.

A leading wrestler for Michigan State was also upset.

Dan Osterman was upset by redshirt freshman WVU Brutus Scheffel in the 149 lbs bout. Scheffel fell behind early but scored some key takedowns in late stages

Head coach Craig Turnbull during a match in 2011. of the match, which secured him the victory.

“It felt great to avenge the loss I had against Osterman in the Reno Tournament of Champions,” Scheffel said.

“Most of the points he had in the first period were from my mistakes, so I just tried to stay after him. We had momentum heading into my match, but we had it even more after I was able to win.”

However, Michigan State answered and decreased the margin to 17-9.

It wasn’t until redshirt senior Brandon Williamson sealed the victory for West Virginia. Williamson was able to secure the victory at the end, converting a takedown with less than 15 sec-

onds remaining in the third period.

Freedom of the Internet echoes democracy Without the free flow of ideas and expression, democracy would be destined to fail – which is why the mass protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act was crucial.

Because of the massive backlash from some of the most popular Internet sites (such as Facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia), millions of concerned internet users and The White House, the Internet regulating SOPA is officially dead.

Ending piracy cannot come at the cost of our freedom.

SOPA gave too much authority over the Internet over to the Justice Department.

As it currently stands, sites such as YouTube and Facebook are not held liable for the content the users post. All that the websites are required to do is to ensure that pirated content is removed as soon as they are notified about the illegal content.

If SOPA would have passed, sites, such as YouTube, would have been held responsible for any content posted on the site

and could be shut down.

The freedom of the Internet is a staple of modern democracy. It has revolutionized communication and was the major tool for the spread of recent democratic uprisings in the Middle East.

There should be realistic solutions for combating online piracy. Threatening to blacklist sites at the drop of a hat is not realistic for democracy. It is not possible for Facebook to monitor its 800 million active users.

Although SOPA is no more, the Senate version of the bill, Protect IP Act (PIPA), is much of the same and should not be passed either. Several top Internet names have pledged an Internet “blackout” on Wednesday to protest the legislation, this list includes Facebook, Twitter and AOL to name a few.

Those who are responsible for online piracy (the users) should be held accountable for posting illegal content, not the website itself.

Regulating the Internet in such a broad manner is dangerous and conflicts with democratic values.

The public must be attentive to the outcome of PIPA and other legislation that may be presented in the near future regarding online piracy.

Our elected officials should work toward a viable solution, but should listen to the public’s voice when drafting future legislation.

More emphasis should be on America’s waste problem doug walp columnist

Approximately 263 million pounds of food were thrown away in the United States yesterday, despite the fact a majority of it was perfectly good to eat.

Initially, it seems like a grandmother’s proverb – “Clean your plate. Don’t let it go to waste,” – but recent empirical research has shown this rampant wastefulness could be far more damaging than just upsetting your sweet old grandma.

A study from Timothy Jones, an anthropologist from the University of Arizona, claims as much as half of all of the food produced in America each year is discarded due to multiple inefficacies throughout the consumer food hierarchy.

This includes flaws in harvesting, preservation, transportation and distribution – as well as the fact leftovers seem to be an increasingly rare commodity of the modern American household.

It’s not a problem that’s completely localized to our country, but the statistics do implicate our society as one of the world’s worst offenders.

Accordingly, an independent study conducted for the International Congress concluded North America wastes more than 10 times the amount of food than Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia do each year.

In fact, every year North America wastes what equates to nearly three-fourths of all the food produced in the aforementioned foreign regions, despite having vastly superior technology available.

These statistics accurately depict the alarming disregard our society has commonly come to accept.

Resources that were once thought to have been precious, such as food or clean water, are habitually taken for granted by the population – myself included.

I want to be clear, I don’t mean to insinuate if we all work together we can take all of our leftovers and cure world hunger. But, more effective strategies within the food industry

DA

The EPA reports that in 2010, 33 million tons of food-waste were sent to landfills and incinerators, making it the single largest component of municipal solid waste in America. could at least help to provide meals for the thousands starving here in America as well as positively impact the economy and environment.

Too often we dismiss the notion of hunger as an epidemic that is only centralized in impoverished nations when, in reality, it’s a crisis that exists throughout the U.S. – even here in Morgantown.

I’ve witnessed families rummaging through my apartment’s dumpster on occasion, often waiting until dark to either remain undetected or hide their shame.

It’s both heartbreaking and eye-opening to witness a brother and sister slump down

in the seats of their old rundown van as their mother and father pillage through what some wasteful college students threw out, just to eat for the night. When just down the road, grocery stores are disposing of unfathomable amounts of fresh food because of unjustifiable “quality-standards,” sometimes locking their trash facilities to keep those unable to put food on the table for their families from dumpster diving.

America’s food waste is also much more than just a social issue.

More efficient conservation policies within the food industry could help save the na-

tion’s economy billions of dollars each year.

For instance, most grocery vendors and wholesalers will throw out an entire carton of eggs if one is broken, or dispose of an entire container of fruit because one apple lost its ripeness.

Coming up with feasible solutions to problems such as this, and similar issues within harvesting and transportation, could literally generate billions of dollars in revenue.

Our environment has also been suffering because of our society’s abhorrent wastefulness.

The EPA reports in 2010, 33 million tons of food waste were

sent to landfills and incinerators, making it the single largest component of municipal solid waste in America.

Despite the possible misconceptions that food sitting in a landfill is some kind of environmentally friendly compost heap, it’s been shown this rotting food releases significant amounts of toxic methane into the atmosphere. Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas that has 20 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide.

The positive notion to take away from the countless reports and studies being published on the matter is that unlike carbon dioxide levels,

WWW.JUSTMEANS.COM

it’s hypothesized by many that global food waste levels can be considerably diminished by simply increasing awareness and pursuing logical conversation efforts.

As one of the leading offenders, the U.S. can set an auspicious trend by not only acknowledging food waste is indeed a prevalent issue globally, but that America will pursue immediate real-world solutions to it.

The responsibility begins with us, however, as the consumer, to continually raise our awareness as well as our ability to recognize just how detrimental our wastefulness can be.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you see life with more vitality than ever. Whether you are an activist or a socialite, you will have the opportunity to bring people together for a specific cause. In the process, you’ll transform your life. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone very special during the year. What you decide to do with this bond is your call. If you are attached, encourage your significant other to join you. You will bond even more closely. SCORPIO is a true friend.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You clearly are developing an interest in a favorite pastime or hobby of a close associate. Adapt your schedule accordingly. A discussion comes forward. You don’t want to say “no.” What you take away from this conversation could be very different when you reflect on this talk in a few days. Tonight: Up late.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Others come forward with new insights.

Not everything is to your pleasing, but you still should listen. Others’ ideas help clarify your thoughts and test the strength of a plan. A discussion evolves because of this openness. Tonight: Let your imagination put a spin on plans.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You might want to make an additional effort to break through a barrier or come to an understanding. Once you do, a new type of bond evolves. Discussions are animated but also give you feedback as to what might be appropriate to change.

Tonight: Chill out; put your feet up.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You are unusually playful, even if you do have to work. A partner or an associate might be taken aback by your mood at first.

Others happily make an adjustment, wanting to have some of what you have.

Of course it isn’t that easy! Tonight: Make fun plans.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You ponder whether you would like to start a home-based business. In some fashion, you want to revitalize your day-to-day life. Your determination surfaces, making anything possible. Your willingness to update your ideas and lifestyle is admirable. Tonight: Stay close to home.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH A special relationship demands much more flexibility than you ever thought you had.

Creativity opens up as you try to sleuth out and find the right answer to a situation. Remember that everything is transforming right in front of your very eyes.

Tonight: Ever playful.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Be aware of what you have to offer. Also, be sensitive to your energy. Decide how much energy you can invest in an emotionally difficult situation. Pay attention to a roommate or family member who can easily stress you out. Tonight: How about treating yourself?

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Your smiling style attracts many people.

You might wonder what would be best to do or say during an important interaction. Talk to a trusted friend or someone who has been in a similar situation.

Be conscious of how many ways you can

communicate. Tonight: Dream it up and make it so.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Sometimes everyone needs to take a personal day, when they do just for themselves. It doesn’t matter if you are indulging a whim or just doing your thing -- this is your time for a mini-retreat. Take it as soon as possible. You will see a difference quickly. Tonight: Not to be found.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Zero in on your priorities. You know what works for you. If it means separating from the crowd, do just that. If you are feeling a little put out by someone else’s demands, let that person know. If you don’t establish boundaries, others cannot help but walk on them. Tonight: Where the fun is.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Taking a stand will separate you from your friends, but it just might need to happen. No matter what is going on, you will assume more responsibility than in the past. Stay mellow; otherwise, you could be the source of your own stress.

Tonight: A must show.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might want to explore ideas through brainstorming or finding someone with more expertise. A meeting also could open a door. The question remains: Are you going to walk through that door? Be direct in your dealings. Tonight: Wherever you are, the fun is.

‘The Descendants’ wins Best Drama, Best Actor at Golden Globes Laura Ciarolla Copy Editor

Taking home the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama and George Clooney winning Best Actor in a Drama Saturday, “The Descendants” made an impressive impact on audiences this winter.

The film, based on a novel of the same name by Kaui Hart Hemmings, centers around Matt King’s (Clooney) journey

with his two daughters (Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller) after his wife is injured in a boating accident.

Though the story is compelling and full of plot twists with well-scripted dialogue, it is the performances that really shinesin this movie.

Clooney portrays a hardworking lawyer and land owner who has a hard time reconnecting with his kids.

He is charged with the sole responsibility of caring for 17-year-old Alex (Woodly) and 10-year-old Scottie (Miller),

both of whom are extremely spirited and opinionated girls.

It is a fantastic role for Clooney, akin to his “Up in the Air” performance, that shows his best dark-comedic side.

Woodley also surprises, as her character is quite the opposite of the whiny pregnant teenager some may be familiar with and is a welcome change. She works well with Clooney and the rest of the cast without overshadowing any other performances.

Lillard plays the antagonist of the story, but in a much more pitiful way than one would expect. His performance is mediocre at best, but Greer outshines all others when on screen.

I’m really only familiar with her comedic acting, but I was pleasantly surprised by her ability to connect with the audience.

She was the emotional trigger of the film, adding depth and resolution where needed.

The movie seems to present itself as a very dark journey through the gritty reality of life, which is somewhat accurate.

However, I surprisingly did not leave the theater with a dark cloud over my head. In fact, almost the opposite occurred.

The tragedy is introduced early on, so you have time to go through the entire grieving process with the characters. This surprisingly left me with a sense of resolution and fulfillment after the film, and an even lighter perspective on the world.

“The Descendants,” directed

by Alexander Payne (“Sideways,” “Election,”) is a must-see film this year. It’s exploration into the journey of dealing with grief – and life, in general – is a beautiful depiction of reality in the true way of the artist.

The film features anticipated and surprising acting talent of that alone makes the experience worthwhile, but the additions of an enthralling storyline and gorgeous tropical Hawaiian atmosphere make this feature a critical success. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Mountain Stage recorded the debut episode of its 29th season in front of a sold-out audience in the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center’s Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre Sunday.

The evening’s lineup featured a diverse range of emerging and established artists, each presenting their own unique take on the blues.

After Larry Groce – the show’s longtime host – warmed up the audience with his traditional rendition of the program’s theme song, Akron, Ohio native Patrick Sweany took to the stage to begin the evening’s performances.

Sweany, whose 2007 album “Every Hour is a Dollar Gone” was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, mesmerized the crowd with his strong, forlorn voice and sparse instrumentation. Accompanying himself on a hollow-body electric guitar and providing procession by stomping his foot on a board, Sweany managed to get the first cheers and yells of the evening from the crowd.

“Do you like soul music?”

Sweany asked, grinning as the crowd cheered. “Good, because if you don’t, the next four minutes are going to be awkward.”

In between performers, as roadies and technicians tested levels and plugged in instruments, Julie Adams and the Mountain Stage Band kept the audience entertained by reforming versions of rock n’ roll standards like Chuck Berry’s “Round and Round.”

Next to take the stage was Grammy-nominated artist Ruthie Foster, who was making her third Mountain Stage appearance. Foster and her three-piece all-female band displayed a dynamic range playing blues, country and vocally driven soul. Following a version of Lucinda William’s “Fruits of my Labor,” Foster and her band received their first of two standing ovations for the night.

During her original composition “Runaway Soul,” Foster engaged the crowd in the

song’s infectious call-and-response chorus, inciting some of the evening’s loudest cheers.

Bhi Bhiman, a Sri LankanAmerican singer-songwriter who was also making his Mountain Stage debut, had the dubious task of following Foster’s stealer performance. To his credit, Bhiman did a masterful job of harnessing the crowd’s energy and refocusing them on his humorous, topical songs.

During “Equal in My Tea,” a tounge-in-cheek song about meeting his future wife for the first time, Bhiman elicited laughter and whistles from the audience.

Magic Slim & the Teardrops, who opened up the program’s second hour, treated the receptive crowd to their own version of electric Chicago blues. Slim, who played sitting in the center of the stage, was able to fluidly direct his band and interact with the audience without ever leaving his seat. Despite remaining stationary for the entire set, Slim displayed as much passion and talent as any of the night’s performers.

Closing out the night with an extended set was legendary blues guitarist and Muddy Waters producer Johnny Winter. Winter, who is nearing 70-years-old, just released his 18th studio album, “Roots.”

Despite carrying the evening’s most prestigious reputation, Winters turned out to be the program’s only disappointment. His voice was weak and raspy, and his band seemed to be outplaying him at every turn. Within three songs, nearly a fourth of the audience had decided to leave early to beat the traffic.

Although it turned out to be anticlimactic, Mountain Stage’s first visit of the year to the WVU campus was an enjoyable experience that provided a showcase for younger talent to debut and an outlet for more established artists to carry on their traditions.

Mountain Stage will return to the CAC Sunday, April 15 at 7 p.m. Joan Osborne will be among the evening’s performers. For more information, please visit: http://events.wvu. edu/index.shtml. charles.young@mail.wvu.edu

DeForest to join Mountaineer coaching staff by michael carvelli sports editor

of the first eight points in the half before Huggins called a timeout to settle his team down.

From there, both teams went on runs but the Mountaineer lead was never less than 16 points in the second half.

“What frustrates me more than anything is we really try to teach them how to play the game the right way,” Huggins said. “We have 13 more games to go and you don’t want to get into bad habits.”

Jones led the Mountaineers with another double-double, his 12th of the season. The Mount Vernon, N.Y. native finished with 24 points and

A few days after former West Virginia assistants Jeff Casteel, Bill Kirelawich and David Lockwood were introduced as the newest additions to the coaching staff at Arizona, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen made the first addition to his defensive coaching staff.

Holgorsen announced Saturday that Joe DeForest will be joining the Mountaineers next season.

“I am happy to come to West Virginia University and be a part of Dana Holgorsen’s staff,” DeForest said in a statement. “Dana has done great things here already, and I look forward to helping him and the DeForest staff continue to build on what has already been started.”

DeForest comes to West Virginia after spending 11 seasons at Oklahoma State. He was on the coaching staff at OSU during the last season Holgorsen was the team’s offensive coordinator before coming to West Virginia.

He was the Dallas Cowboys’ associate head coach, special teams coordinator and secondary coach since 2005, and he was the only Oklahoma State assistant to remain on the coaching staff when Mike Gundy replaced Les Miles after Miles left to become LSU’s head coach after the 2004 season.

“Joe is an outstanding addition to the West Virginia football staff and brings years of experience, expertise and knowledge of the Big 12 Conference,” Holgorsen said in a statement. “He is not only a good coach, but a great teacher. I worked with him at Oklahoma State and look forward to him and his family joining the Mountaineer program.”

Shortly after it was announced Casteel and the other former Mountaineer assistants would be departing, DeForest was indicated in reports from the Tulsa World as someone Holgorsen wanted to fill one of the vacant staff positions.

DeForest said in his statement through the University he believes his knowledge and recruiting ability in the Big 12 will be beneficial

Members of the WVU men’s basketball team laugh at the end of the Mountaineers’ 84-60 win against Rutgers Saturday afternoon.

West Virginia beats Rutgers for second time in two weeks by michael carvelli sports editor

For the second time in 11 days, the West Virginia men’s basketball team used a quick start in the first half to down Rutgers.

The Mountaineers used a 48-point first half to lead them to a 84-60 victory over the Scarlet Knights at the Coliseum.

With the win, WVU improves to 13-5 for the season and 4-2 in Big East Conference play, while Rutgers dropped to 10-8 and 2-3 in the league.

“We pretty much did the same thing we did at Rutgers,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “We

kind of took them out of what they wanted to do, forced them out a little bit higher than they wanted to be, and the weave is not as effective when it’s that far out on the floor.

“The first half, I thought we played pretty well, and we made some shots and that helps.”

Following 85-64 loss to the Mountaineers Jan. 4, Rutgers came into Saturday’s game with a lot of momentum after two straight victories. It beat No. 17 Connecticut 6760 before a dominating 62-39 win on the road against Pittsburgh.

But, the Scarlet Knights had their work cut out for them from the tip against West Virginia.

After starting the game down

4-3, WVU went on an 11-0 run to get its first double-digit lead of the game. Led by senior guard Truck Bryant’s 15 points in the first half, the Mountaineers were able to lead by as many as 28 in the first half and went into the locker room with 4822 lead.

“We just wanted to come out and do the same things we did when we played them at Rutgers,” said senior forward Kevin Jones. “We did that at times, sometimes we got a little sloppy with the ball but overall I thought it was a good win.”

Much like it did in the first meeting between the two schools, Rutgers started the second half on a run. The Scarlet Knights scored six

rivalry better in basketball

Ah, basketball. The premier athletic opportunity to witness a set of games between in-state rivals West Virginia and Marshall in a series that is actually enjoyable to watch.

As much as I love the hoopla and anticipation surrounding the “Friends of Coal Bowl,” it’s nice to see games in which the outcome is actually contestable.

The football series between the Mountaineers and the Herd has recently been, well, kind of boring.

There have been some memorable moments in recent games – this year’s rainout and last year’s fourth-quarter comeback led by junior quarterback Geno Smith – but overall, the series has been painstakingly predictable.

Basketball, however, is a different story.

This week marks an interesting and pivotal point in the season for the basketball programs at West Virginia and Marshall.

The annual Capitol Classic provides both teams with an out-of-conference break at a neutral-site that is nestled just seven weeks before conference tournament play begins.

The passionate crowds at the Charleston Civic Center are usually split between the two schools, providing for an environment similar to what you might see during the West Virginia state high school playoffs that take place each March.

As a former basketball player at Winfield High School, I was fortunate enough to play at the Civic Center on three occasions.

While it may be a hassle to watch on television due to the outdated equipment and less than satisfactory broadcasting conditions, the Civic Center does provide for a spirited environment that holds a lot of history within its friendly confines.

Additionally, the Charleston contingent of Mountaineer Nation has an opportunity to root on West Virginia during

Former West Virginia defender Erica Henderson was drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 Women’s Pro Soccer draft by the Western New York Flash Friday.

by nick arthur sports writer

Former West Virginia women’s soccer player Erica Henderson was drafted by the Western New York Flash in the fourth round of the 2012 Women’s Pro Soccer draft, Friday.

“It is not only an honor to have been selected for the WPS draft, but to be selected by Western New York Flash; it is very hard to put into words,” Henderson said in a statement.

Henderson is a Rochester, N.Y., native and is very familiar with her new team.

“I spent all of my summers playing in Rochester and watching great teams like the Rhinos and the Flash. To now be a part of it; I’m speechless.”

Henderson is the only

player in West Virginia women’s soccer program history to be a part of three Big East Championships.

After scoring six goals in her 12 starts as a freshman, Henderson started all but one game in her final three seasons with the Mountaineers.

“This is an incredible opportunity for me, and I am going to do everything in my power to give it my all and do my best,” she said.

The Flash won last season’s Women’s Pro Soccer Championship.

They were led by Marta, who scored 10 goals and had five assists, last season and United States Women’s National Team member Alex Morgan recorded four goals for the Flash. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Sophomore guard Taylor Palmer and the West Virginia women’s basketball team plays Marshall Tuesday. WVU hasn’t lost to the Thundering Herd since 2005.

WVU to take on Marshall in Capital Classic

By Ben Gaughan

associate sports editor

The West Virginia women’s basketball team enters the 2012 Chesapeake Energy Capital Classic against Marshall tonight at 7 p.m., looking to start a new winning streak after dropping a close 51-48 game at Providence Saturday.

Marshall (12-4, 3-1) is coming into the game, held at the Charleston Civic Center, off of a 55-53 loss to Southern Methodist at home. It was the Herd’s first loss in the last six games and first conference loss of the season.

The Thundering Herd, led by 11th-year head coach Royce Chadwick, is off to one of its best starts in recent history, but has not defeated West Virginia and head coach Mike Carey since 2005.

Continued from page 9 a weeknight in its own backyard – something it can say only a handful of times throughout the year.

There have been hotly-contested battles on the men’s side, and each year seems to be as unpredictable as the last.

West Virginia holds the alltime series lead on the men’s side with a record of 28-11 and on the women’s side at 34-16.

In the past decade, however, things have been especially fun to watch.

In the past 10 games, the Mountaineer men’s team holds only a slight edge over the Herd –

It was his third 20-point game in a row.

Freshman Keaton Miles had his best game in a WVU uniform Saturday.

The forward scored six points and grabbed four rebounds while also finishing with seven assists, which is tied with fresh-

“Their strength is penetration, it’s not out there shooting threes,” Carey said of the Mountaineers in-state rival. “They’re not real big, so they’ll change up on the zone man and that type of stuff and our guards are going to have to handle the pressure. If they don’t handle the pressure, it’s going to be a tough game for us. If they do handle the pressure, we’ll be okay.”

Marshall is led by a junior college transfer, in her first season with the team, Jasmine Shaw.

The redshirt sophomore averages 8.0 points per game, is shooting 47.5 percent on the year and is tied for second on the team with 15 three-pointers made.

West Virginia’s Christal Caldwell has been on a scoring tear over the last five contests.

The redshirt sophomore has averaged in the double figures in

winning six of the last 10 games.

Those games have been decided by an average of 5.9 points per game, and oftentimes, the team that is expected to win ends up losing.

For the women, West Virginia has held a firm grasp over the past ten games, winning nine of the contests and holding to Marshall less than 60 points seven times.

Last year, the West Virginia women’s team won by a whopping 57 points. On the men’s side, though, the Herd took down West Virginia by a score of 75-71.

Miles has struggled most of the season to score the ball, but has been able to make contributions in other areas with his defense and rebounding.

Caldwell led the Mountaineers in rebounding against Providence and tied for first with junior center Asya Bussie in the previous game against Seton Hall.

“For us to be the team we need to be we need to have balanced scoring from the perimeter and from the inside,” Carey said. “Make no doubt about it, when the game is on the line or we need a bucket, we’re going to go in the paint. We’re not going to stand outside and shoot threes. Our shooters have a green light.”

Carey is more concerned with Marshall’s guard play because of its ability to get to the basket and make plays with the ball.

The Herd are certainly dangerous and talented enough to defeat West Virginia for the second consecutive time – something it has only done on two previous occasions.

There’s no telling what will happen on either the men’s or the women’s side, and that’s the beauty of the Capital Classic.

This series is a testament to the unpredictability the sport of basketball brings to the court with each and every game.

He feels the advantage for WVU will be in the paint with Bussie and redshirt junior center Ayana Dunning’s size.

“They’re quick and athletic and they dribble drive, and that’s what concerns me,” Carey said of Marshall’s guards. “But in the paint, we’re bigger and do a lot more scoring in the paint than they do. Most of their scoring comes from the perimeter.”

West Virginia sophomore shooting guard Taylor Palmer is still trying to play off her scoring slump. Palmer scored 13 points in the loss to Providence. Carey believes if she keeps shooting the ball, the points will come back again.

The Mountaineers are 34-16 all-time against the Thundering Herd and hold a 14-6 record at the Charleston Civic Center. ben.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

The Mountaineer men’s team is looking to avenge last season’s loss and continue improving its resume as March draws closer.

The pair of games that will take place this week will continue to build on the strong, successful tradition that is the Capitol Classic.

This series serves as one of many highlights for fans of both teams, and with all things considered, this year should continue the trend of enjoyable and fun games to watch.

Let’s just hope Marshall’s football team is watching – they could take some notes on how to play a contestable series.
