Raese applauds ‘party rating’

By Carlee Lammers City Editor

During an on-campus visit last week, John Raese, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, applauded West Virginia University’s recent “No. 1 party school” ranking.

Raese visited campus Oct. 10 to speak with students and share his 2012 campaign platforms.

“I was a ‘73 graduate (of WVU). I should have been

University takes a strong stance against the “party school” image and the behavior following the WVUTexas game, she believes everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

“Most people view WVU as a positive place and truly don’t appreciate this misleading image,” Lofstead said.

‘72, but I stayed an extra year to work on our party rating,” Raese said. “It’s good to know you guys got it back to No. 1.”

Raese’s endorsement came just days after the postgame fires and riots, which have received national media attention.

University spokesperson Becky Lofstead said University officials have no response, and were unaware of Raese’s comments.

Van Voorhis sidewalk petition grows by bryan bumgardner & Ashley Tennant DA staff

Plans are being drafted to extend the sidewalk on Van Voorhis Road, partly due to a petition spreading around the West Virginia University community.

Near the intersection of Van Voorhis Road and Chestnut Ridge Road, the sidewalk leading up Van Voorhis ends, turning into a well-worn footpath – often forcing pedestrians to walk on the road.

Numerous apartment complexes – such as Campus Park at The Ridge and The District – house WVU students, and many walk to class on the trail.

The District 4 Department of Transportation is currently considering a plan to resurface Van Voorhis Road and construct a sidewalk as early as next summer.

Professor Ever Barbero, a resident of Suncrest, recognized the danger of the footpath and began the online petition.

“I realized that it has become dangerous both for the pedestrians and for the drivers,” he said. “Having done it myself, I can-

the University said: “In the big picture, clearly this list has no real credibility. As always, we focus on celebrating and supporting WVU’s long history of academic achievements.

Our students, faculty, alumni, parents and friends have made it clear that is their focus as well.”

Following the WVU-Texas game, the Morgantown Fire Department responded to 35 malicious fires.

Five individuals were

charged with malicious burning during the events, and 10 others were arrested for offenses including battery on an officer, escape, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstruction. Other citations were issued for alcohol-related offenses.

The Raese campaign did not respond to requests for comment by press time.

The West Virginia University Center for Civic Engagement has kicked off its Vote12 campaign.

Vote12 is an initiative through the CCE, the Student Government Association and Student Affairs to provide a single, unified spot for students, staff and faculty to get involved in the election.

Miranda Talkington, graduate assistant for service learning, said she believes Vote12 creates an opportunity for the WVU community to take part in politics.

“Vote12 is, hopefully, a space for the WVU community to look at if they want to get involved in the election process in any way, shape or form,” Talkington said.

The Vote12 website, which is linked to the CCE website, features various entities including WVU Republican and Democrat organizations, how to register to vote and political movies sponsored by WVUp All Night.

“I think that informed voting is one of the best

not blame the pedestrians, because there is no room to walk. You have to go on the asphalt.”

After researching, Barbero discovered the DOT’s plans to build a sidewalk but chose to continue the petition.

“We think it’s going to happen; I just want to get all the signatures and send it in case somebody says ‘oh no, it’s too expensive or too difficult,’” he said.

“It’s a question of finding the money in the budget to add a sidewalk.”

Many students have walked the trail along Van Voorhis, including premarketing student Rachel Utz. “Just take a walk up or down Van Voorhis, and maybe you’ll see how dangerous it is to attempt especially at night,” she said.

“Building a sidewalk will decrease the risk of an accident, and appease the students who have to live on the outskirts of town.”

Although many apartments on Van Voorhis offer shuttle services, some students’ schedules make catching the bus inconvenient.

WVU President James P. Clements joins others on the Evandsdale Campus for a groundbreaking for the new Student Health and Wellness building Wednesday.

Construction to begin on new Student Health and Wellness building

By Jacob Bojesson Correspondent

After years of planning, the highly anticipated new Student Health and Wellness center broke ground Wednesday.

The facility will become home of the College of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health and WVU Health Services.

The new facility will be located near the Student Recreation Center on the Evansdale Campus, and it is scheduled to be completed in 2014.

“Since coming to WVU, I have said that I want our University to be one of the best in the country – if not the very best in the country – for health and wellness programs,” said WVU President James Clements. “We all can say with confidence today that we are well on our way.”

For students and faculty within CPASS, the move has been long-anticipated.

The college has been housed in the Coliseum since the ‘70s, and Dean Dana Brooks said she is confident the relocation will benefit the program immensely.

“Today marks a significant game change in the life of our college,” Brooks said. “Today represents that we’re going to be in the red zone and about to score,

ways to be civically engaged and be involved with your community,” Talkington said.

Talkington said a major aspect of the Vote12 campaign is the “I Will Vote” photo contest.

“I Will Vote” encourages students to make a visual pledge to vote through Facebook.

“The contest encourages faculty, students and staff to stand up and make some type of visual representation to vote. Essentially, photographs must contain some type of WVU imagery.”

The winning photograph will be used as part of the advertising for Vote12 and will be posted around campus.

“The (two) winners will receive a professionally framed print of their photograph, as well as a chance to win a gift card to the bookstore,” Talkington said.

During the 2008 Presidential election, the CCE sponsored the Engage08 campaign, which involved a poster competition for students to pledge to vote.

The West Virginia University Student Government Association approved a resolution Wednesday evening pledging its commitment to the development of an LGBT center on the WVU Campus.

Sophomore SGA Governor Molly Callaghan wrote and read the resolution to the governors for their approval.

The resolution states WVU SGA is “dedicated to creating a campus community that welcomes, engages and supports all students,” and also discussed the WVU 2020 Strategic

Plan for the Future.

The resolution also reads “there are over 12 million students representing the LGBT community with 36 percent of LGBT undergraduate students stating that they have experienced harassment within the last year, therefore those students avoid areas of campus out of fear.”

After doing research, Callaghan and others who helped work on the resolution discovered that seven of the 10 Big 12 schools have already established LGBT centers.

Callaghan said the goal is to staff the LGBT center with administrators who are “educated and capable

of dealing with all LGBT issues and concerns.”

The end of the resolution states SGA “believes this LGBT center is the first step of many toward achieving an equal, inclusive and safe campus environment for all Mountaineers.”

After reading the resolution, Callaghan said she felt the resolution supported vital aspects of SGA’s mission.

“Last year, President Redding and Vice President Zuccari’s main platform was to make students feel safer on this campus, so this resolution is really going towards our entire ticket’s idea of what we wanted to accomplish,”

Callaghan said.

“I think this resolution will help show full support of this idea and allow President Redding to take this further so we can start getting the center set up and ready to go.”

Governor Andrea Mucino asked where the potential LGBT center would be located.

“It will be located somewhere in the Mountainlair, but not in a visible place, because some students don’t want to come out yet,” Callaghan said. “We just want to be sure it is an accessible place for students.”

CPASS and WELLWVU. WELLWVU was formed in January of 2009 and is dedicated to educating and providing health services to WVU students.

The new facility will allow each of WELLWVU’s services to be in one central location, rather than dispersed throughout campus as they are now.

“This facility will foster students’ success and retention while preparing young adults to live healthy lifestyles long after their graduation,” said Cathy Yura, WELLWVU assistant vice president.

“The services and programs in this facility will brand WVU as a University that is committed to the health and well-being of its teachers (and)

citizens.”

Clements said the new building is part of a $250 million investment to transform the Evansdale Campus in order to create top-notch education, research and wellness facilities for the students.

The transformation also includes a new greenhouse, a renovated Evansdale Library and a new engineering research building.

“We are underscoring the importance of attracting high-quality undergraduate and graduate students to our campus, as well as recruiting and retaining top-notch faculty, staff and administrators,” he said.

times that’s the only way they have to get to campus,” said Sam Wyco, a leasing consultant at The District. “They can take the bus sometimes, but if it’s late at night, I’ve seen kids almost get hit. I think a sidewalk would save lives.”

Leasing Manager at The District, Ashli Fridley, agreed.

“I think (a sidewalk) needs to come in,” she said.

“We have a lot of residents who walk to games and the medical center. They have some guts.”

DOT District 4 design engineer Bryan Radabaugh said the DOT normally doesn’t build sidewalks, but has chosen to make an exception.

“Most DOT projects don’t

typically include sidewalks, but this one has a funding source that allows us to incorporate that,” he said.

Radabaugh coordinated with the city of Morgantown to identify the need for a sidewalk. Although the area has been surveyed, the specifics of the plan haven’t been determined.

Radabaugh said it has not been decided how far the new sidewalk will extend.

“It would give people a safe, dedicated place to walk, and I don’t foresee any issues moving forward with the project,” he said.

To sign the petition, visit www.causes.com/ causes/795410-van-voorhis-rd-sidewalk-petition.

WVU student Benjamin Seebaugh said he believes the passing of tonight’s resolution is a great step for the University.

“The resolution is extremely well-written, and Governor Callaghan has done a lot of work to be a part of all of the events and do all of the research for this resolution. And it’s really great, so thank you,” Seebaugh said.

“I think this resolution is a jump-start to many more possibilities involving this issue,” Callaghan said. “If we can get the cen-

ter up and running, we can get a paid director to help students, because there’s nothing at all right now, so I think this resolution is a great start.”

The SGA Board of Governors also awarded three, $500 grants at the meeting.

Delta Sigma Delta, a dental fraternity; the American Society of Safety Engineers, an industrial engineering fraternity and the Indian Student Association received grants.

A&E WRIter

Offering up the perfect mix of comedy, horror and classic ’90s filmography, “Idle Hands” is one of the decade’s most underrated films. And with Halloween right around the corner, it’s a great choice for some holiday fun.

Devon Sawa (“Final Destination,” “Casper”) plays the lead character, Anton Tobias, who epitomizes the stereotypical ’90s stoner. The film’s title is based on the saying, “Idle hands are the devil’s playground,” and whose hands are more idle than a stoner’s?

Anton spends all of his time getting high with his similarly unmotivated friends, Mick (Seth Green, “Robot Chicken,” “Family Guy”) and Pnub (Elden Hensen, “The Butterfly Effect”) and crushing on the girl across the street, Molly (Jessica Alba, “Sin City”).

Halloween morning, Anton awakens to find his parents have been murdered. Later, when his friends arrive, he uncontrollably stabs Mick in the forehead with a broken beer bottle and decapitates Pnub with a saw blade.

He discovers his right hand is possessed by a demon.

Yes, just his right hand. After killing his friends, Anton’s Hand throws his cat across the street and forces Anton to ring Molly’s doorbell, beginning their relationship for the film.

A funeral is held for both Anton’s parents and friends, but Mick and Pnub are reluctant to move on.

The two return in their still-butchered bodies (Mick with a beer bottle sticking out of his forehead; Pnub carrying his severed head), and join their friend in his fight against evil. They claim they decided to remain in their bodies, rather than move on to heaven, because the entrance was “too far.”

The Hand kills two more people, causing Anton to decide to chop it off with a cleaver. He manages to trap it in the microwave before sending Molly to the school Halloween dance, where he assumes she will be safe.

But Mick and Pnub eventually get a craving for burritos and open the microwave, only to find The Hand has escaped. Securing Pnub’s head with some duct tape and a meat fork, the three boys head to the dance to look for The Hand and protect Molly.

The rest of the movie follows in a similarly hilarious fashion, while Molly, Anton, Mick and Pnub attempt to escape and capture the Hand. Vivica A. Fox also makes an appearance as a druidic priestess named Debi LeCure who is out to stop the Hand’s evil. And I won’t give the ending away, but I will say the day is ultimately saved by weed.

Bart (Cleavon Little), the first black sheriff of a frontier town in the American Wild West in 1874, must save the land and townspeople from the conniving hands of State Attorney General Hedley Lamarr, and keep the railroad out of town.

This sounds like the setting for any classic western, but it is much more than that. “Blazing Saddles” was vulgar, crude and scandalous. Released in 1974 and co-written by Mel Brooks, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, Andrew Bergman and Alan Uger, it received mixed reactions, but it is now viewed as a comedy classic. It is a parody of the John Wayne Westerns with gunslinging and cowboys.

Brooks was a central player in remaking classic genres into ’70s values and attitudes, and he did exactly that with “Blazing Saddles.” It spoofed the old Westerns by placing a black man in a leadership role, which was not typical of the classics. The comedy just started there. It is one of the most significant films of its time. Blazing Saddles attempted to address racial stereotypes with humor, and it definitely succeeded – and it was the first film of a major studio to have a fart joke.

“Blazing Saddles” has always been one of my favorite movies because of its off-the-wall humor.

It has truly stood the test of time in my opinion, and other people feel that way, too. In 2006, it was selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

“Blazing Saddles” is not classy, and it is pretty much a total mess for most of the film, but it succeeds because it is an audience picture. It is funny, and it does all the right stuff. Writing and humor meant everything for the movie, and that still shows even in this day and age.

Nielsen: 65.6 million watch second presidential debate NEW YORK (AP) — With an estimated 65.6 million viewers, the television audience for the second presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney was smaller than the first – but only slightly.

The Nielsen company said 67 million people watched the first debate a week earlier. Tuesday’s town hall style debate at Hofstra University was still seen by more than any of Obama’s three debates with John McCain in 2008, and had more viewers than any second presidential debate since 1992.

It was shown live on 10 television networks, with the Spanish-speaking Uni-

Rush Hour is an action-comedy released in 1998 and starring the forever-solidified pair, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

At first glance, it is a typical good cop/terrible cop story. Detective Inspector Lee (Chan), a nearly overqualified Hong Kong native, and Detective James Carter (Tucker), a reckless, street-smart buffoon, both working for the Los Angeles Police Department are involuntarily paired and go against orders to solve a big case.

The story begins in Hong Kong on the last day of British rule. Inspector Lee boards a boat full of $500 million in Chinese art, drugs and weapons and attempts to apprehend the crew and confiscate the load.

Chinese Consul Solon Han is then sent on a diplomatic mission to Los Angeles, and his 11-yearold daughter, Soo-Young, is kidnapped by a criminal mastermind. Han only trusts his old supercop friend, Lee and his partner flies in to help, but the FBI is on the case and doesn’t want his conflict of interest to interfere.

They hire Carter to distract Lee from taking over the investigation, making him think he’s been given an important position, while really he is just a babysitter.

After becoming acquainted and overcoming their cultural differences, they team up and defy the FBI and take the case on their own.

Most Jackie Chan films are focused on original stunts and skilled martial arts, leaving viewers in awe.

Often, a certain humor accents his fight scenes, which arises from his ease of ass-kicking, but now he is paired with the consistent comic relief of Tucker who manages to fend for himself.

Tucker’s style of policing – making up hilarious lies and other distractions comparable to the work of Bugs Bunny dealing with Elmer Fudd.

Tucker’s bug-eyed fear and Chan’s stealth and ability to bust up the place makes for a laugh..

This movie could easily be overlooked in time, but it and the rest of the trilogy will always be classics.

With comedy movies, there is no longer a need to distinguish good from bad. The real question is: “Is it funny?”

Rush Hour’s balance of severity and cheesy ridiculousness makes it utterly hilarious.

The bottom line is we must remove governmental control from all issues related to that contract of marriage agreed to by any two individual humans.

The role of the government is to maintain the best and most equitable common-law judicial system that will provide an appropriate and fair avenue for the adjudication of any conflicts that are brought before the courts.

This includes all financial and custodial issues that are individual and intrinsic to the people.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year your imagination opens many doors, and the only issue will be which one you would like to go through. The unexpected keeps you alert and excited about life. If you are single, you have a way about you that draws many people in. You will need to be selective in order to decide who you most want to be close to. Enjoy the process.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You might not realize how much you trigger certain people in your life, especially as of late. You see beyond the obvious and act accordingly. Others could be shocked as a result. An explanation definitely would help. Make calls and network; know what you expect and want. Tonight: Go for the untried.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Work with a partner directly, and you really might appreciate the experience and its benefits.

Pressure builds when a partner or associate pushes you too hard for your own good. You might be willing to spend money on a specific item. Tonight: A little fall shopping wouldn’t hurt.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Your optimism remains, no matter what obstacles you face. In fact, a meaningful exchange occurs between you and someone else only because of your upbeat attitude.

Sometimes you find a key person to be a little too aggressive or assertive.

Tonight: Go with a friend’s or loved one’s decision.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Pace yourself, as you have a lot to ac-

complish. Know that your mind will be working overtime, and you’ll have difficulty concentrating. You might make a decision about a job or situation that puts many demands on you.

Follow through on what you need to do. Tonight: Get some exercise.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You cannot go wrong if you are spontaneous. News or an idea surprises you by triggering all types of reactions -- some angry, some unpredictable. You’ll land on your feet no matter what. Your friends support you in your goals. Whether they agree with them or not will be irrelevant. Tonight: Go big or go home.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You are enthusiastic about a personal matter. If you are not dealing with that issue, you could have difficulty focusing on anything else. If you do manage to focus your attention elsewhere, then that issue and the people involved could resurface and tap you on the shoulder. Tonight: Work on your juggling skills.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Make calls early, as you likely will be swamped by others seeking you out, whether it is via email, phone or simply arriving at your door. You could become frustrated and, as a result, lose your temper. News comes in from someone at a distance or from someone you do not speak to often.

Tonight: Read between the lines.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Be careful with spending. You could be letting go of negative feelings through shopping. Stop and deal with your frustrations head-on. You might want to get to the root of the issue and find out why you are so eas-

Easy ways to do it yourself this Halloween Laura Ciarolla copy editor

laura ciarolla/ The Daily Athenaeum

A balloon spider (above) is a great way to get in the Halloween spirit.

Holiday decorations have the power to light up any room.

If you’re having guests for a party or just want to feel closer to home, a few simple decorations can make a huge difference. They create an inviting atmosphere and put people in happy, festive moods.

Even as a poor college student, there’s nothing holding you back from decorating your space – be it a dorm room, apartment, porch or anything else.

This Halloween, why not try a few easy, do-it-yourself decorations? It might be more time consuming, but it’s a fun activity to do by yourself or with a few friends. It’s also much less expensive than buying from a store.

Here’s a list of just a few of the many affordable decoration ideas. Don’t be laura ciarolla/ The Daily Athenaeum afraid to be creative and Egg carton bats (above) take little effort to make and are a great addition to any come up with some of your own!

Halloween decor.

Balloon Spider: This is likely one of the easiest to construct, as the only supplies you’ll need are a few black balloons, black streamers, scissors and tape.

The goal is to make a giant spider on the wall. First, you will cut four mediumsized strands of streamers.

Choose a fairly empty wall space (near the ceiling) and position the streamers to look like spider legs, with the middle or ends of the streamers meeting in the middle. It’s best to tape the top four legs onto the ceiling, because it makes it easier for the streamers to dip down a bit in some parts to better resemble legs.

Next, blow up one of the black balloons, and tape it to the middle, where the all of the streamers meet, with the fuller end of the balloon on the bottom. Add a few more to other walls if you want, and you’re finished.

Egg Carton Bats: You will need an empty egg carton (or more, depending on how many you want to make), black paint, a paintbrush, black string or thread, a few pairs of googly eyes, scissors, and glue.

Cut out a row of three cups from the egg carton.

Then, flip them over so the bottom of the cups are facing up, and cut the bottom edges of the two outside cups to resemble bat wings. This would look like a small upside-down “w” on the bottom third of the two outside cups.

Next, paint this black.

One coat should be enough.

After they dry, cut a small hole into the bottom of the

two outside cups. Use one long piece of black string or thread to tie a loop through the two holes, tying it at the end. This is what you will use to hang the bats.

If you’re making more than one, you might want to cut a few varying lengths of string to make the bats hang at different levels.

Finally, add a pair of googly eyes to the center cup to complete the decoration. Hang them from the ceiling or another high point of a room.

Spider Egg Sacks: This one is pretty gross, but in a fun, Halloweeny way. The materials you need are a white stocking, cotton stuffing (you can rip up small pieces of toilet paper or plain white paper towels as a substitute), a bag of little black plastic spiders, glue, and some sort of weight (a small bag of pennies, perhaps).

Cut the legs off of the top of the stockings, so you are left with two separate pieces of fabric. Fill the foot of the stocking with the cotton stuffing. This is where you’ll need to add something heavy, so that the stocking is slightly stretched and weighed down in a hanging position. Whatever you use, make sure it is covered or painted in white so the color isn’t visible through the stocking.

Add a couple of smaller spiders throughout the stuffing if you want to get really creative, but using one size of spider is also okay.

Then, glue a bunch of the spiders to the outside of the stocking, with a large mass of them at the very bottom of the foot of the stocking and fewer as it thins out on the top.

The idea is to make it look like a drooping egg sack covered in spiders inside and out. Feel free to get creative, adding as many or few spiders as you want, but keep in mind it looks a lot creepier with a large mass of spiders. Hang a few together in a corner of your room or porch for a disgustingly creepy atmosphere. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 10 These results, in addition to watching the Mountaineers perform at home this year have me believing the Mountaineers can indeed go into Akron and leave with an upset. But several things will have to happen in order for that to occur.

First, the Mountaineers are going to have to be very patient and make the most out of the scoring opportunities they get. Usually, the free-flowing attacking offense of WVU isn’t consistently challenged at midfield, and the Mountaineers are able to keep possession and advance the ball down the pitch seemingly at will.

This has resulted in the Mountaineers out-shooting and earning more cor-

LeBlanc realizes how strong Akron has been throughout the years. The Zips have won the national championship in the past, and have dominated the MAC in recent years. “They are a good team, and they have good players,� he said. “We’re going to have to be careful on how we approach the game and how we defend. “The team we’re playing

ner kicks than nearly every opponent they’ve faced this season – by a large margin.

That simply won’t be the case Saturday night in Akron. The Mountaineers may have been able to waste scoring chances against the likes of less notorious opponents such as American University and FAU, but they can’t leave a single opportunity out on the pitch when you play a top team like Akron.

The Mountaineers will also have to rely on some players other than senior center back Eric Schoenle, WVU’s leading goal and point scorer this season.

Schoenle’s certainly expected to start, despite being lifted with an injury during the Oct. 14 game, but the problem is elite teams do a great job of taking away your best weapons.

LeBlanc said this was indeed the case in their road against is going to be energized. We have to pick and choose when we want to go forward.�

A win against Akron in its first season in the MAC will do wonders for West Virginia and the program moving forward.

WVU has not beat a ranked opponent this season. Beating the No. 3 team in the nation would signify a case for the NCAA Tournament.

This has been the matchup WVU has been waiting for since it has joined the MAC and will only prove the Mountaineers can compete with the best of the new conference.

yard line, and the Sooners have multiple weapons in the run game.

Oklahoma takes on Kansas this weekend.

Texas’ reeling defense prepares for life without Jeffcoat During Saturday’s Red River Rivalry game, Texas defensive end Jackson Jeffcoat suffered a torn pectoral muscle that ended his season.

Jeffcoat finished the season with 31 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, four sacks and six quarterback hits.

The Longhorns are put in a tough spot having to move on without their standout defensive end. “I really hate it for Jackson. He was playing at such a high level as one of the best defensive ends in the country,� said head coach Mack Brown. “We feel like they are ready to go. You have to make sure that you are two deep because there are still a lot of teams that throw the ball a lot and you need a lot of pass rushers for the last six games.� dasports@mail.wvu.edu

trip earlier in the season where they played North Carolina, Wake Forest and Penn State in a matter of days. LeBlanc said before Schoenle could even approach the ball, coaches from the sidelines would be screaming for their players to swarm the talented senior.

Fortunately, the Mountaineers have had scoring balance this year, getting goals from a staggering 12 different players.

If some combination of these players are able to indeed take advantage of whatever scoring opportunities arise Saturday night in Akron, I think the Mountaineers will ultimately have a great chance to topple one of the best teams in the nation and take one step closer to playing at home for the duration of their first ever MAC tournament.

True freshman wide receiver Travares Copeland will be making his first start as a Mountaineer this Saturday against Kansas State.

So how did Copeland first hear about his newfound role as a starter?

Well, Twitter of course. “Well I didn’t know until Twitter, but you can’t go off Twitter – (so) I didn’t know until I saw the depth chart at the meeting,� Copeland said. “It felt good. I don’t feel any different – I’m still going to go out, practice hard, still learn (and) be coachable.�

Copeland was told by the coaching staff earlier in the year that he would be redshirted, however, the Port St. Lucie, Fla., native knew that as a member of the Mountaineers travel team, he always had to be prepared in case of injuries among his teammates. “The (coaches) notified me that I would be redshirted, but I was just going to be the ‘just in case’ player just in case somebody got hurt – I was going to be that guy – so I was just waiting for a shot,â€? he said. “I always knew it just takes one play; I always kept my intensity high, kept learning (and) just kept grinding because ‌ I came here to play.â€?

Copeland was a rated as a three-star prospect by major recruiting services coming out of high school.

As a senior at Treasure Coast High School, Copeland scored 19 total touchdowns as a quarterback, throwing for 1,096 yards and rushing for 497 more.

Though the high-powered offensive scheme West Virginia runs often lures talented recruits to Morgantown, Copeland said the city and its surroundings are what really drew him to pick the Mountaineers over Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan State, Pitt, Vanderbilt and several other schools that offered him a scholarship. “It wasn’t really the offense; when I came on my visit, I just felt at home,� he said. “I mean the city, the town – it wasn’t too much.

And where I’m from, there’s a lot going on. “I knew I could focus here, and the players make it feel like a family; a lot of guys are where I’m from.

So that’s why I made my decision.�

Copeland’s shifty moves and agile nature have garnered comparisons to senior inside receiver Tavon Austin – something Austin experienced when he was a freshman being compared to Jock Sanders. “That’s how they did me when I came in and did the same thing (with) Jock,�

Austin said. “I mean, it definitely makes me feel good.

I remember when they compared me to Jock – I felt good because I looked up to him before I got here. “But you have to live up to it. That’s all it boils down

to.�

Austin said that with time, Copeland could eventually develop into a player very similar to himself. “Copeland is a good player – he’s something like me when I first came here,� he said. “He’s definitely going to be a good player as the years come on. He’s probably going to be able to do all of the things I’m able to do, to tell you the truth.�

Last week, Copeland grabbed his first catch as a Mountaineer. Now, heading into his first start, he said he is not nervous. “I mean, we practice too much to be nervous. I didn’t feel nervous in the game at all – too much preparation.�

Despite seeing his first action in the sixth game of the season, Copeland said he is glad the coaching staff decided to pull his redshirt and allow him to compete this season.

Though some would argue it would make more sense to keep the redshirt status, Copeland said he would rather just play. “I actually wanted to play; I didn’t’ want to sit out this season,� he said. “It was tough at first when they notified me that I would be redshirted – but it’s the (nature of the) game. “I was excited to go in, so I just had to do what I had to do. I love football, (and) opportunities come and go.� charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Woods wrapping up a busy season (AP) - Tiger Woods hasn’t been this busy on the golf course in seven years, a season that will wrap up in California with his annual World Challenge.

Still to be determined is whether he’ll keep playing that many events.

On Wednesday, Woods announced the 18-man field for the World Challenge, to be played the week after Thanksgiving at Sherwood Country Club. Woods is the defending champion, outlasting Zach Johnson to end a two-year drought.

The field features 13 players from the Ryder Cup — all but Phil Mickelson from the United States, only Graeme McDowell and Ian Poulter from Europe — along with Hunter Mahan, Nick Watney, Bo Van Pelt, Rickie Fowler and Jason Day. All of them are among the top 30 in the world.

For Woods, the World Challenge will be his 24th tournament of the year, which includes the Ryder Cup and the exhibition he played last week in Turkey.

That’s his busiest schedule since he played 25 times in 2005, not including the Skins Game and PGA Grand Slam of Golf. “It was nice to be able to – other than one setback at Doral this year – to be healthy enough to where I have the opportunity to play as much as little as I want,�

Woods said in a conference call. “It wasn’t something I was forced to sit on the sidelines, forced to rehab and get myself back into a position where I can compete.

I was able to compete and play as many tournaments as I wanted to. So that was a positive. “We’ll see going forward what that holds.�

Woods added four tournaments to his 2012 season that he had never played as a pro — Abu Dhabi on the European Tour, the Honda Classic, the Greenbrier Classic and the CIMB Classic next week in Malaysia, which is unofficial.

In his last full season – without coping with injury or chaos in his personal life – he played 20 times in 2009.

Woods appeared to downplay the notion that he would consider taking up membership on the European Tour. The European Tour is expected to start counting the Ryder Cup (and Presidents Cup) toward the minimum 13 tournaments required. Woods, in response to a question last week in Turkey, said he would look into it.

Luke Donald last year became the first player to win the money title on both tours in the same season, and Rory McIlroy is poised to win both titles this year.

Woods would have won the European Tour money title

multiple times except that he wasn’t a member and didn’t play the minimum events, which at the time was 11. “They asked me the question whether or not I would entertain it, and I said, ‘Yeah, I entertained it early on in my career,’ because at the time there was only 11 events ... and I played once or twice in Europe, and that put me at nine or 10. Now it’s at 13 – 13 is a little bit more difficult to get to, but that’s one of the reasons why I think they implemented the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup as events that count towards that number. “I certainly can see the benefits and also see the negatives of playing that much golf,� he said. “But going forward, I don’t know.�

The Abu Dhabi Championship announced earlier Wednesday that Woods and McIlroy will headline the field next January. It was held this year the same week as Torrey Pines, and Woods missed the San Diego event for the first time since 1997 when he was healthy. Next year, Torrey Pines is the week after Abu Dhabi.

Woods didn’t rule out playing Torrey Pines, but said he won’t map out a schedule until after the World Challenge.

Armstrong steps down US advances in World as LiveStrong chairman Cup to set up busy 2013 AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong stepped down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity while Nike and Anheuser-Busch each said they were cutting ties with him as fallout from the doping scandal that has swirled around the famed cyclist escalated Wednesday.

Armstrong announced his move at the charity in an early-morning statement. Within minutes, Nike said that it would end its relationship with him “due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade.”

Nike said it will continue to support Livestrong.

Beer-maker AnheuserBusch did not give a reason for its action, which followed hours later. A two-sentence statement from U.S. marketing vice president Paul Chibe said simply, “We have decided not to renew our relationship with Lance Armstrong when our current contract expires at the end of 2012.

We will continue to support the Livestrong Foundation and its cycling and running events.”

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a massive report last week detailing allegations of widespread doping by Armstrong and his teams when he won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005.

The document’s purpose was to show why USADA has banned him from cycling for life and ordered 14 years of his career results erased – including those Tour titles. It contains sworn statements from 26 witnesses, including 11 former teammates.

Armstrong, who was not paid a salary as chairman of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, will remain on its

15-member board. His duties leading the board will be turned over to vice chairman Jeff Garvey, who was founding chairman in 1997.

“This organization, its mission and its supporters are incredibly dear to my heart,” Armstrong said in a statement. “Today therefore, to spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, I will conclude my chairmanship.”

Foundation spokeswoman Katherine McLane said the decision turns over the foundation’s big-picture strategic planning to Garvey. He will also assume some of the public appearances and meetings that Armstrong used to handle.

Kelley O’Keefe, professor of brand strategy at Virginia Commonwealth University, said the charity already may be permanently damaged and that Armstrong may never be able to fully resume his public role.

“From the brand perspective, Armstrong is done,” O’Keefe said.

O’Keefe compared Armstrong to Tiger Woods and Michael Vick, who also were embroiled in controversy but were able to return to the playing fields to help redeem their image.

“Armstrong doesn’t have that. He’s just a retired athlete with a tarnished image,” O’Keefe said.

Armstrong strongly denies doping, but did not fight USADA accusations through arbitration, saying he thinks the process is unfair. Once Armstrong gave up the fight in August and the report came out, crisis management experts predicted the future of the foundation, known mainly by its Livestrong brand name, would be threatened. They said Armstrong should consider stepping down.

Armstrong’s inspiring story of not only recovering from testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain but then winning the world’s best-known bike race helped his foundation grow from a small operation in Texas into one of the most popular charities in the country.

Armstrong drew legions of fans – and donations – and insisted he was drug free at a time when doping was rampant in professional cycling. In 2004, the foundation introduced the yellow “Livestrong” bracelets, selling more than 80 million and creating a global symbol for cancer awareness and survivorship.

“As my cancer treatment was drawing to an end, I created a foundation to serve people affected by cancer.

It has been a great privilege to help grow it from a dream into an organization that today has served 2.5 million people and helped spur a cultural shift in how the world views cancer survivors,” Armstrong said.

As chairman, Armstrong did not run the foundation’s day-to-day operations, which are handled

by Livestrong president and chief executive Doug Ulman.

Ulman had said last week that Armstrong’s leadership role would not change.

Armstrong’s statement said he will remain a visible advocate for cancer issues, and he is expected to speak at Friday night’s 15th anniversary gala for Livestrong in Austin.

“My family and I have devoted our lives to the work of the foundation and that will not change. We plan to continue our service to the foundation and the cancer community. We will remain active advocates for cancer survivors and engaged supporters of the fight against cancer,” Armstrong said.

AP

United States forward Clint Dempsey, right, is congratulated by teammates after scoring during the first half of a World Cup qualifying soccer match against Guatemala.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — The primary objective for the United States against Guatemala was a win or at worst a draw, and squeaking through to the next round of World Cup qualifying.

It wasn’t the only goal.

Jurgen Klinsmann revealed a much more ruthless motive in Tuesday night’s 3-1 victory that allowed the U.S. to win Group A and advance to the six-team finals in North and Central America and the Caribbean: The second-year manager wanted to send a message to the rest of the world.

“With every game you try to earn respect. It’s what you do,” Klinsmann said. “Quite frankly, every qualifying game and every competition you try always to earn respect.

“You know in soccer that everybody is watching you,” Klinsmann continued, his words picking up speed. “In South America, they’re watching you.

Russia will watch us, what we’re doing here, so you always want to make statements. You want to send statements out and say, ‘We’re ready for you.’ We want to go to Mexico and say, ‘We want to beat you there.’ Every game.”

It hasn’t always been pretty so far, but the pugnacious attitude of Klinsmann finally appears to have seeped into the psyche of a U.S. team drilled in defense by former coach Bob Bradley.

Even when Guatemala charged to a 1-0 lead in the opening minutes on a defensive breakdown by the American back line, it only seemed to stoke their passion. They answered a few minutes later when Graham Zusi’s corner kick was redirected by Clint Dempsey and to the waiting foot of Carlos Bocanegra, who tapped it in

for the equalizer.

The U.S. quickly increased the pressure from there.

Eddie Johnson corralled a pass on the wing and sent a low cross to Dempsey, who put the ball in the back of the net over the outstretched hand of the sliding Guatemalan goalkeeper. And later in the half, Michael Bradley’s deft pass set up Dempsey for his second goal of the game.

The U.S., facing elimination for only the second time in the last five World Cup cycles, never let up in the second half.

Dempsey just missed with a header that would have given him a hat trick, and a couple other shots were saved by Ricardo Jerez Jr. to keep the game reasonably close.

Not close enough for Guatemala, though. Jamaica’s 4-1 victory of Antigua and Barbuda allowed it to squeeze into the final round on goal differential along with the Americans. They’ll be joined by heavily favored Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras and Panama.

“We know that there is still a lot of work to be done. We know that we can be better and sharpen up in order to qualify for the World Cup,” Dempsey said. “We know the next round is going to be tough.

We’re going to do everything we can to make sure that we’re ready for it.”

Klinsmann called the next round a “grind,” 10 matches beginning in early February that will set the field for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil interspersed throughout a busy year.

The American team will have several friendlies scheduled to tune up for their international matches, and also have to balance a roster for

the Gold Cup, which runs from July 7-28.

The U.S. advanced through the group stage of the regional championship last year with a 2-1-0 record, and defeated Jamaica 2-0 and Panama 1-0 to reach the final against Mexico, which it lost 4-2 to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. – a defeat that in part led to Bradley’s ouster.

“We don’t know yet how we’re going to manage that,” Klinsmann said of his rosters for the two tournaments. “It boils down to how their own schedule looks like, what league do they play in, what do those schedules look like. You know, we have to put that puzzle together.”

Klinsmann acknowledged it’s not an easy puzzle to solve, but it’s a welcome one.

He’s been trying to build depth since taking over 15 months ago, pulling in young and untested players such as Zusi and giving guys such as Johnson a second chance. The moves have finally begun to pay off after a couple of ragged games, including a loss at Jamaica and a narrow win last Friday in Antigua that kept the Americans off the brink of failing to qualify for the World Cup. Now, it’s a matter of finding out which guys in Klinsmann’s pool best fit together, and making sure the confidence gained Friday night only builds heading into a busy 2013 schedule.

“Something you have to repeat to the players all the time is every game starts nil-nil,” he said, “and you have to have the right attitude, the right spirit for it, the right approach, and match the opponent right away with that fighting spirit, otherwise you’re going to look bad.”

No. 19 West Virginia looks to maintain lead in Big 12 standing against Sooners by shea ulisney sports writer

kATIE fLOWERS/tHE dAILY aTHENAEUM

Members of the West Virginia women’s soccer team celebrate a goal against Baylor last Friday. The Mountaineers will host Oklahoma tonight in their final home game of the season.

The West Virginia women’s soccer team will celebrate Oktoberfest and its final home game of the 2012 season tonight at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium against Oklahoma in a Big 12 Conference match at 7 p.m.

This week the Mountaineers moved to No. 19 in SoccerAmerica’s Top 25 rankings, and ranked No. 23 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll.

“It’s critical for us to get a result as we get this close to the end of conference play this season,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “Every point is important. If we can take care of what we need to take care of, we can control our own destiny.”

Oklahoma will go into tonight’s game on a two-match winning streak after defeating Kansas, 1-0, and TCU, 3-1.

The Sooners are led by first-year head coach Matt Potter.

Sooner senior forward Renae Cuellar leads the team with nine goals and one assist for a total of 19 points. Cuellar earned her second Newcomer of the Week after scoring two game-winning goals last week.

“Renae (Cuellar) is a true goal scorer,” Izzo-Brown said. “It’s going to be a tough defensive battle, and we need to shut down a productive Oklahoma team.”

Oklahoma sophomore midfielder Emily Bowman was named the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week. This past weekend, Bowman assisted the game-winning goal against Kansas and scored Oklahoma’s first goal in its win over TCU, 3-1.

WVU set for big test against No. 3 Akron by amit batra sports writer

The No. 3 Akron Zips will host the Mountaineers Friday night in a match that could very well decide the regular season Mid-American Conference champion and No. 1 seed for the MAC tournament.

So far, Akron is 4-0-0 and first place in the MAC standings. Its overall record consists of 9-1-2. The Mountaineers understand the challenge that lies in front of them at FirstEnergy Stadium – Cub Cadet Field.

“It’s a huge game for our season,” said senior midfielder Shadow Sebele.

“This is the game we’ve been looking forward to, not only for the MAC, but for our (NCAA) Tournament lives.”

The quality win would certainly help for a resume booster for the Mountaineers come selection time.

WVU is riding a twoPatrick Gorrell/THe daily Athenaeum Senior Shadow Sebele and the West Virginia men’s soccer team look foward to game winning streak head-

ing into the match with the Zips. The Mountaineers have certainly taken care of business at home with only one loss, but the road has given West Virginia a bit of trouble.

In the Mountaineers’ four road games, it has been far from smooth sailing. There have been quality opponents, but West Virginia is a mere 0-2-2.

“Every result is important at this stage,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

“We’re just focusing on the next one at hand. Right now, it’s a two-team race for the MAC title. This game coming up here is going to tell a lot about who is going to win the regular season.”

There was the concern that senior defender Eric Schoenle would not be able to go for Akron after a brutal collision with a Hartwick player in his last game.

The All-American knocked heads with the opponent

GYT:

named WVU sophomore goalkeeper Sara Keane its Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

Keane played a big part in the Mountaineers first-place standing in the Big 12 Conference, after their tie against No. 20 Baylor last Friday. Keane tied her career high with eight saves, facing 21 shots on goal and 10 corner kicks taken by Baylor.

Both Izzo-Brown and Keane expressed the importance of tonight’s game.

“It is our last home game,” Keane said. “We want to send our seniors out with a bang and hopefully continue to win from there.”

The West Virginia women’s soccer team has had players earn a Big 12 weekly recognition in five of the nine weeks this season.

The Mountaineers extended their unbeaten streak to 11 matches.

“I think our momentum was very good last week. I thought we played hard, and it’s unfortunate we didn’t manage the clock as well as we would have liked,” IzzoBrown said. “We just learn from our mistakes.”

Tonight’s game will feature an evening full of American and German food and drink, including a Biergarten. German dishes such as sausage, pretzels, potato salad and more will be served in a tent adjacent to the seating area.

Two German beers and domestic beers also will be available for purchase.

Tonight’s game is also “Dollar Night,” with all tickets, hot dogs, popcorn and soft drinks available for $1 each. Admission is free for WVU students with a valid student ID. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 3 Zips present huge opportunity for WVU Doug Walp Sports Writer

Saturday, the West Virginia men’s soccer team has an enormous opportunity waiting for them in Akron, Ohio.

If the Mountaineers can find a way topple the No. 3 Zips, they’ll not only secure an almost definite spot in this year’s NCAA tournament, they’ll also take a huge step toward securing home-field advantage for their first-ever Mid-American Conference tournament, which starts the second week of November.

It’s a matchup that WVU’s players and coaches have had circled since their schedule was released before the start of the season, but taking down the national champion from two years ago certainly won’t be

an easy task.

The Zips have been one of the most successful teams in the MAC since joining the conference in 1992 and have only dropped one result the entire season, against No. 7 Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind. They’ve also played to two draws through 12 appearances this year.

As daunting as the task of defeating the Zips on their home pitch may seem, the Mountaineers are completely capable of playing at the level needed to take down Akron.

WVU battled then-No. 1 North Carolina Aug. 31 to a 0-1 result, and fell by the same score to No. 18 Wake Forest just three days later.

West Virginia head coach Marlon LeBlanc noted after the trip that, although his team was perfectly capable of winning both matches, things just didn’t go their way.
