Former West Virginia football head coach Bill Stewart died Monday of an apparent heart attack.

Stewart passed away on the golf course while playing in a tournament at Stonewall Resort with former Athletic Director Ed Pastilong.

“It was a tremendously enjoyable day here. The weather was nice, and Billy (Stewart) was in a really jovial mood,” Pastilong said. “He said, ‘Fisher DeBerry always said ...’ and boom – I looked over and he was on his back.

“There was no response at all ... It’s just unbelievable, so sad.”

Most Mountaineer fans will remember Stewart as the coach who stepped in at a rough time for the football program leading West Virginia to a historic 48-28 victory against Oklahoma in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl.

But to players, coaches, administrators and others Stewart was close to, he was much more than a football coach.

“A true gentleman, friend, man, coach, teacher, husband is how I view Coach Bill Stewart,” said former West Virginia running back Steve Slaton. “I’m

at a loss for words to express how much respect I have for this man. Every conversation that I have had the chance to be involved with him, he made me feel as an equal.

“I am honored to have had him as a friend and coach. I know every player who has had the opportunity to be around him would say the same. Mountaineer Nation has lost one of its biggest fans.”

Stewart joined former WVU head coach Don Nehlen’s staff in 2000 and served as an assistant during Nehlen’s final season and Rich Rodriguez’s time as head coach before earning the interim head coach title when Rodriguez went to Michigan prior to the Fiesta Bowl.

“This is a really sad day with the loss of Bill Stewart. We spent seven great years together at West Virginia,” Rodriguez said in a statement to The Daily Athenaeum Monday. “He was an outstanding person, coach and friend to everybody on the staff. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Karen, his son, Blaine and his many friends and family.”

While football was Stewart’s passion, he knew there were more important things. Above all, he was a family man.

Even during his years as West Virginia’s head coach, he was known to always spend as much time as possible with his wife and son.

He also acted as a father figure to every player he had the opportunity to coach.

“I don’t think words can explain what he’s done for the program and what he’s done for his players like my teammates and me. He made us better men both on the field and off the field,” said former WVU offensive lineman Don Barclay.

“It’s crazy to think he’s such a young guy and something like this would happen.

It’s just horrible to see something like this happen.”

Throughout his time at West Virginia, and even during his tumultuous exit almost a year ago, Stewart exemplified what it meant to be a West Virginian.

“Coach Stewart was a rock-solid West Virginian and a true Mountaineer,” said WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck in a statement. “His enthusiasm and passion for his state’s flagship University was infectious.

“We join all Mountaineers in mourning his passing.”

Former WVU football players react on Twitter: “Coach Stew was a man that took me in when I was a freshman. He treated me like I was a son, he always had my back even when it wasnt the popular thing to do.”

President Clements salary increase approved PRT to reopen after being by bryan bumgardner city editor

West Virginia’s Higher Education Policy Commission has unanimously approved a privately funded supplement for West Virginia University President Jim Clements’ salary, raising his annual compensation to $775,000.

Clements’ five-year contract allowed for additional compensation from private sources through the WVU Foundation, and the $125,000 supplement has been approved by the WVU Board of Governors and the Foundation Board.

The funds come from the WVU Foundation’s Milan Puskar Presidential Chair Endowment, which was set up by philanthropist Milan Puskar to “provide salary and benefit support to recruit or retain a ‘super star’ president.”

“The members of the

Foundation Board are enthusiastic about the progress being made at WVU under President Clements’ leadership, and are pleased to be in a position to support his presidency in this meaningful way,” said Wayne King, president and CEO of WVU Foundation, in a press release about the compensation package.

The press release also said Clements’ compensation package brings his salary “more in line with missionbased and HEPC peers such as Penn State, Kentucky, Virginia Tech and Minnesota.”

According to information from transparency and University websites, Clements will be the highest paid president of the universities mentioned in the press release.

President Rodney Erickson of Penn State receives $515,000 annually, President Eli Capilouto of University of Kentucky has a salary of

$500,000, and Virginia Tech President Charles W. Steger has a salary of $457,000.

Eric Kaler, President of the University of Minnesota, receives $610,000 annually.

“As we get set to embark on the public phase of our capital campaign, it’s imperative that we have a strong, effective University leader,” King said. “It’s clear Jim Clements is that person.”

King said external consulting about supplementing Clements’ salary received overwhelming positivity from WVU Foundation donors.

“We were told his presidency ranked among the highest evaluations the firm had ever received in its 30 years of doing this kind of work,” he said.

In the press release, Foundation Board Chair Verl Purdy expressed support for the compensation package.

“For the past three years, we have enjoyed record-

breaking donations at the WVU Foundation. These results were achieved because our alumni and friends believe in the greatness and the future of WVU under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Clements and his team,” she said. “There’s never been a better time to be a Mountaineer, thanks in large part to Jim Clements.”

Last year, The WVU Foundation’s total assets stood at $1.1 billion. Between July 2010 and June 2011, the foundation received $96.3 million in cash, pledges and gifts – the largest in the Foundation’s 57-year history.

These gifts allowed the WVU Foundation to disburse $50.6 million on behalf of the University. Of the money distributed, $9.4 million went towards salaries and benefits of WVU employees and $12.4 million was used for various

closed for maintenance

by Terri Parlett staff writer

West Virginia University’s Personal Rapid Transit system will be resuming services Tuesday, May 29 after the completion of several maintenance projects.

The PRT has been shut down for repairs since May 7. The PRT, which has been in use since 1975, has been shut down due to repairs required to sustain long-term use of the system.

The repairs are general maintenance to prepare the system for the fall semester, said Robert DeWitt, electronics and operations manager of the PRT. “We’ve got some new propulsion modules coming in,” DeWitt said. “We have some new on-board computers, as well.”

This maintenance is part of a $15 million ongoing project known as the PRT Master Plan,

which intends to increase the dependability of the PRT system. At the highest levels, more than 31,000 riders enter the PRT system daily during the school year.

Dewitt said the plan is to have some of this project completed by August.

“Some of the modules that are in the vehicles are very old; they’re 40 years old, and they’re ’60s technology and we’re unable to get parts, so part of the modernization is to replace these, so that’s what we’re doing,” DeWitt said.

Due to the continued need for transportation between the PRT’s various locations, a shuttle service is offered in lieu of the PRT’s usual services. The shuttle stops are located at Mountaineer Station on Van Voorhis road, Towers Residential Hall, Engineering, the Mountainlair,

WVU to build 5,300 square foot art museum by 2013 By carlee lammers staff writer

Three thousand pieces of paintings, sculptures and other works of art in storage at West Virginia University will soon have a new home.

Plans have been announced for The Art Museum of WVU. The building will be approximately 5,300 square feet, which includes galleries for WVU’s art collection, a 30-student classroom and research labs.

The museum, which is in the final stages of design, will be built on a grassy field beside the WVU Creative Arts center and will be connected to the Museum Education Center.

Construction begins this month, and the museum is expected to open in the summer of 2013.

Art Museum Director Joyce Ice said the Art Museum Education Center has spent years searching for a home for WVU’s art collection.

“Over the past 40 years, this art collection has grown with gifts from various people,” she said. “We considered moving the collection into the old WVU Alumni Association building, but it’s not adequate for what we need. A lot of peo-

ple think this is a recent idea, but it’s really been several years in the making.”

Ice said her hope for the museum is to be able to enhance WVU students’ opportunities to learn about art locally.

“Right now, art students have to go to Pittsburgh, which is already 75 miles away, or D.C. or Cleveland to see major museum collections,” she said. “It’s important to have the presence of art, not only for the University, but for the region. This is something that will contribute to the quality of life and the vitality of the region.”

The Art Museum of WVU will strive to be a place for students from all fields of study to enjoy, Ice said.

“As a part of a comprehensive education we want everyone to have the opportunity to learn about, enjoy, be stimulated by and inspired by this art. Art delights the senses, engages intellect and touches the spirit,” Ice said. “We want to have engineering students, math students, physics students come and see from a different perspective, and understand that creativity isn’t limited to one field of study.”

Despite a troubling economy, Ice said the University’s

commitment to the Art Museum of WVU displays the University’s loyalty to students and the community.

“This is a really great opportunity to make this contribution here even in a troubled economic climate. It’s a real testament to the University that they are still going forward with this project – I’ve really enjoyed the support of the University,” she said.

Ice also said the museum’s presence on campus would provide students with opportunities other nearby universities already offer.

“Many of our peer institutions such as Penn State, University of Kentucky, Ohio State and Virginia Tech all already have long-standing academic museums – we come a little late to the party,” Ice said.

“This is really an opportunity to make a difference and to touch the lives of students, faculty and the community long after we’re gone,” she said. “This is not something that’s going to be hidden away just for a select few.”

Romney inches closer to GOP nomination with sweep WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney has swept the Kentucky and Arkansas Republican presidential primaries, inching closer to the GOP nomination he is certain to win.

With no serious opposition left, the former Massachusetts governor easily won both contests.

Romney is within 110 delegates of winning the nomination, a threshold he should reach next week, when voters go to the polls in Texas.

Romney had previously struggled in some Southern states, when other Republican candidates were still actively campaigning. Tuesday’s contests gave him an opportunity to display solid support in two states he should win in November.

Romney has been in general election mode for weeks, spending much of his time fundraising and focusing on Democratic President Barack Obama.

Mitt Romney won the Kentucky Republican presidential primary Tuesday, inching closer to the GOP nomination for president.

With no serious opposition left, the former Massachusetts governor easily won the contest, claiming at least 32 of the 42 delegates at stake in Kentucky. Voters also went polls in Arkansas, with 33 delegates at stake in that

state.

Romney could win all of Kentucky’s delegates, though Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who stopped actively campaigning last week, was hovering just below 15 percent of the vote in early returns.

That’s the threshold needed to win delegates in Kentucky.

Romney has 1,024 delegates, leaving him 120 shy of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the GOP nomination for president.

If he continues to dominate, he will reach the magic number next week, when voters in Texas go to the polls.

Virtually assured of the party nod, Romney has been in general election mode for weeks.

He’s been spending much of his time fundraising and focusing on Democratic President Barack Obama.

As voters in the two Southern states weighed in, Romney spent Tuesday evening at a fundraising event in New York where his campaign said he raised $5 million. Romney’s campaign has raised roughly $15 million during a three-day fundraising swing in the New York area.

He is scheduled to make a campaign appearance Wednesday in Washington.

WVU musician takes tour to New York and beyond

By Christina Gutierrez During this year’s West Virginia University commencement ceremonies, the world welcomed future doctors, lawyers and professionals of many varieties. Among them was future musical sensation Logan Venderlic.

Venderlic is a recent graduate of the WVU School of Journalism. The West Virginia native is currently touring the country for what he hopes will be his big break.

This week, Venderlic made a huge transition from his small hometown of St. Mary’s, W.Va., playing shows in big cities such as Philadelphia and New York.

He made his first summer appearances in New York at The Way Station in Brooklyn on Thursday and The Living Room in the lower east side of Manhattan Saturday.

“New York is one of my favorite places to play. The city has an immense amount of energy, and I really feed off of that during my performances there,” Venderlic said.

At his Saturday performance, Venderlic jokingly mentioned his hometown to his New York audience.

“I come from a town that has more churches than people,” he said.

The quirky, music-lovingcrowd quickly took to the blonde-haired, blue-eyed West Virginian.

“People were incredibly friendly and generous at both venues. I definitely made some new friends and fans, which is the point of the tour,” Venderlic said.

New York native and musician Charlie Valentine was no exception.

“It’s actually refreshing to hear a young kid like this keeping the ‘singer-songwriter’ alive in an age where everything is digitally enhanced and holographic,” Valentine said.

Although all of his original songs were well received by the audience, there was a clear favorite.

The last song of his Saturday show, “Travelin’ Tooth Operators,” was obviously the crowd-pleaser.

“It’s about two crazy dentists in Appalachia pulling the teeth of people addicted to pills,” Venderlic said.

Stomping and singing along to the unique tune, it was clear the audience appreciated the one-man band.

“It’s easy to get really selfconscious and nervous on stage, but I could tell people were getting into my stuff. It helped me turn my nerves into excitement. I was a sweaty mess afterwards, and I ran around and gave high fives to the folks who came out for the show,” Venderlic said.

Since the start of his tour just a few weeks ago, Venderlic has been making quite a name for himself. He recently performed and interviewed with

BETHLEHEM, West Bank (AP)— Supermodel Naomi Campbell celebrated her 42nd birthday on Tuesday with a trip to the birthplace of Jesus, wishing for “good vibrations, not destruction” in the troubled Middle East.

Campbell, wearing a white shirt and black sunglasses, was flanked by Palestinian guards and her own private security detail as she toured the biblical town of Bethlehem.

She lit candles in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, said Palestinian security officials. The church is built on the spot where Christians believe Jesus was born.

The West Bank town is controlled by the Palestinian Authority. Israel has built a high concrete wall around most of the town to keep Palestinian militants, including suicide bombers, out of nearby Jerusalem.

The Huffington Post and had a Wanderer Session with Pollifax Saturday morning.

Pollifax is a collective of videographers and bloggers

based in Brooklyn who collaborate with musicians. The Huffington Post and Wanderer Session will both be available relatively soon. Both will be

posted to his Facebook page.

“This is the most extensive tour I’ve ever taken, and it’s still early on, but it’s been a great adventure already. I’m

looking forward to rambling around to a bunch of other places and stomping and howling and surprising people,” Venderlic said.

“As much traveling as I’ve done, I’ve never come here,” Campbell told a Palestinian television station. The supermodel said she hoped for peace. “I’m happy to be here.

Weapons and war, greed and oil ... I hope it all stops. I care about health, about good vibrations, not destruction,” she told the station.

Some of Campbell’s security guards wore black-andwhite checkered Palestinian

scarves, resembling tourists.

Later, Campbell celebrated her birthday at the nearby Casa Nova Palace Restaurant.

Her group ate a traditional Palestinian meal of lamb and rice inside the restaurant, said an employee. She requested anonymity because Palestinian officials threatened to punish people speaking to reporters.

Outside, a small, shaggy black dog whom the employ-

ees called “shekel,” the name of Israel’s currency, barked at mustachioed plainclothes Palestinian security officials sitting at tables.

After the meal, her entourage sped away in a line of black sedans.

Campbell also visited the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem, the holiest place where Jews can pray, a retaining wall of the compound where the Jewish biblical tem-

ples stood 2,000 years ago.

Campbell’s visit to Bethlehem initially sparked rumors that she was going to marry her longtime boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin, because she left her Jerusalem hotel wearing a white dress.

Campbell’s publicist did not respond to requests for comment. Doronin’s firm, Capital Group, could not be reached.

Stewart’s legacy defined by his character, success About this time last year, West Virginia University’s football program was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Following a disappointing 9-4 season, which concluded with a loss to North Carolina State in the Champs Sports Bowl, WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck announced Dana Holgorsen would be hired as the new offensive coordinator and would replace Bill Stewart as head coach after the 2011 season.

Critics immediately questioned the wisdom of this coachin-waiting arrangement. A few short months later, these doubts

were validated after a messy, public dispute between Stewart and Holgorsen culminated in Stewart’s premature resignation.

Now, less than a year after Stewart stepped down, the WVU community is shocked by his tragic, untimely death.

As the Mountaineer family mourns the passing of one of its truly great members, it is important that his accomplishments, both on and off the field, aren’t overshadowed by a poor management decision that set the stage for the embarrassing end to his stint as head coach of the University’s football team.

One need only to have been on Twitter in the immediate aftermath of his death to understand how much this man meant to those he worked with.

Within minutes of the official announcement, he was one of the most talked about topics on the social media site. Many of his former players and colleagues took to the Internet to express their sadness and emphasize the important role Stewart played in their lives.

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, who was governor during Stewart’s time as head coach, described Stewart as

one of West Virginia’s best citizens. The incredible outpouring of sadness and support that followed his death is a testament to his lasting legacy as someone who cared deeply about his players and his state.

Stewart’s successes in football are also worthy of recognition. During his three seasons as WVU’s head coach, he led the team to a combined 28-12 record. Stewart was also the first to offer current Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who is the youngest NFL coach to lead his team to a Super Bowl victory, a coaching position.

Then, of course, there was the 2008 Fiesta Bowl, during which Stewart rose to the occasion and led a football team devastated by the betrayal of Rich Rodriguez to a historic victory against the heavily favored Oklahoma Sooners.

Despite the turbulent and dramatic end to his tenure as WVU’s football head coach, Bill Stewart’s legacy should be defined by his exemplary character and his invaluable contributions to his university and his state.

It is time for realistic immigration reform in the US

arbiteronline.com

Protestors voicing their opinions against the controversial Arizona immigration law in 2010.

jeremiah yates opinion editor

The issue of immigration is one that has stirred much controversy, especially in recent years.

Some make the argument that America is a land of immigrants, and to chastise anyone for pursuing a better life for their families is wrong and hypocritical, which is true.

Others claim America simply cannot house “the tired, poor huddled masses” any longer. There isn’t enough room, and jobs are scarce, which is an argument that is also true.

But the ultimate truth is there are 11.5 million illegal aliens in the United States, according to Reuters. Be-

cause of this, there is an unbelievable amount of tax dollars not being paid by illegal aliens as well as the billions of dollars spent on social programs aimed toward tax-paying Americans that are used by many illegal aliens, such as public schools, welfare and housing programs.

It is not fair to honest U.S. citizens to allow any illegal aliens to receive benefits that are provided for and paid by our taxpayers.

But we should not round them up like animals and send them back from whence they came.

The most logical and realistic solution would be to entice the immigrants who are already here to come forward and become citizens. They are already here; why not let them pay taxes?

It is not efficient to find and deport every illegal alien in

our country, especially when they are entering as quickly as they are being sent out.

Resources should be used to block every inch of the U.S. border to stop further illegal immigration, but not to harass those already here and to increase racial bigotry and hatred, as other immigration policies have previously done.

In 2010, the state of Arizona passed an anti-immigration bill that required all aliens to carry documentation stating they were in the state legally and also gave authorities the power to search anyone who is a potential illegal immigrant.

The legislation proved to be controversial because many were fearful of civil rights violations. Just because the majority of illegal immigrants are Hispanic doesn’t mean that the majority of His-

panic-Americans are illegal immigrants.

And to question someone’s citizenship on the basis of his or her ethnicity is a clear civil rights violation.

While the Arizona law does have good intentions, it should not be an example to follow.

Treating illegal immigrants like animals will not encourage them to attempt the process of citizenship. It will only encourage bigotry and will keep the illegal immigrants in the shadows.

The U.S. would benefit much more by granting amnesty to current illegal immigrants, which would increase tax revenue, and concentrating on securing our borders.

It is hard to believe with all of the technology and resources of the United States we can not stop unwanted trespassers from crossing our

borders.

One of the aspects of the Arizona law that is effective is the punishment of employers who hire illegal workers.

This doesn’t violate anyone’s civil rights and will deter illegal immigrants from entering our country.

Illegal aliens in our country must be working somewhere, so there are others, not just the immigrants themselves, to blame.

If they entered our country and couldn’t find a job, they would not come in the first place.

But the cold fact is many of the illegal aliens are here to stay.

Government officials can search and deport as many as they can find, but all that would do is spend a lot of tax dollars with little return.

Alabama governor Robert Bentley has recently made an

effort to improve his state’s controversial immigration legislation, but has only made changes that will help business owners who unintentionally hire illegal help.

His proposed improvements do not change the legislation’s aim of racial profiling.

It seems legislation such as the ones in Arizona and Alabama are more effective at banning Hispanics in general than they are at banning illegal immigrants.

While most don’t want to admit it, there isn’t much we can do about the millions who are here illegally.

Let’s come up with a viable solution to the immigration debate that doesn’t spread bigotry and hate and that actually increases tax revenue.

Allowing illegal aliens who are already here to become citizens would do just that.

ous downloads your average Joe might grab are stopped before revenue is compromised for the entertainment biz.

Whether you believe the RIAA and MPAA are being greedy or not, court proceedings have been occurring and folks have been nailed for sharing information across the net.

Not all of those slapped with lawsuits were necessarily given the proper due process of law.

A bombshell of a case has dropped in the battle for how to identify someone partaking in illegal information sharing.

Gary Brown, magistrate judge for the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of New York, ruled in a lawsuit concerning BitTorrent that an IP address is not sufficient evi-

dence to identify a person.

“An IP address provides only the location at which one of any number of computer devices may be deployed, much like a telephone number can be used for any number of telephones,” according to the court ruling.

“Thus, it is no more likely that the subscriber to an IP address carried out a particular computer function – here the purported illegal downloading of a single pornographic film – than to say an individual who pays the telephone bill made a specific telephone call.”

Many households do not have secured wireless network connection, so anyone within range can piggyback on and partake of questionable ac-

tivities involving information sharing.

Yes, it is a little silly not to password protect your connection in this day and age, but that isn’t a requirement.

Attempting to pin an alleged crime on someone because they might not understand very well how networking works or might just be kind enough to actually want to allow other folks access to the Internet is not a crime.

As such, handing out a subpoena to Internet providers for information concerning an IP address holder is, as Brown said, a “waste of judicial resources.”

For all of you out there cheering and hopping back onto your favorite torrent

search engine, remember that this ruling does not make downloading shared information legal.

This case sets a bar for future events across the country to play to when it comes to potential personal information subpoenas regarding a particular IP address.

It is entirely possible when this issue, or a similar one, hits the U.S. Supreme Court level – hopefully this whole problem will be resolved in the next few years, though unlikely – that it could be quashed.

If you support information sharing and like to show your support through participation, just remember that as of now you can still be hit with lawsuits for sharing certain ma-

terial. A small battle was won, but the war wages on.

If you want some unsolicited advice, check out the Pirate Party for a group fighting for reform of intellectual property and privacy laws.

Through political action, making your voice heard, this whole shared information debacle might just be able to have an ending that allows all people to be safe and happy when it comes to Internet use.

OK, some greedy corporations won’t be happy, but screw them; corporations shouldn’t be regarded as people anyway.

But besides all the empowerment rhetoric, listing Pirate Party as your political affiliation is friggin’ cool.

Former West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart won 27 games in his three seasons at WVU. During that time, and his time as an assistant, he was known as a coach who cared for all of his players and treated them like they were his sons. This photo was taken during the Mountaineers’ regular season game against Cincinnati during Stewart’s final season as WVU’s head coach. The Mountaineers went on to beat the Bearcats by a final score of 37-10.

WVU in Top 5 in Most Stylish Campus contest

By Christina Gutierrez a&e writer

As if it wasn’t already apparent, West Virginia University has been named one of the most stylish campuses in the country.

Thanks to the revolutionary online style tracker, Stylitics. com, students and campuses throughout the country entered the Most Stylish Campus contest to prove their fashion ability.

Stylitics.com is an online resource for fashion lovers and trendsetters throughout the world. The website allows women all around the world to track their style ideas and progress.

The movement began more than a year ago and has grown tremendously.

Most recently, the Stylitics team has paired up with HerCampus.com in an attempt to find the country’s most stylish campus.

The contest began April 16 and continued through May 10. Last week, the winners were announced.

From day one, WVU has been one of the top five schools in the nation.

Students from 212 campuses around the country were given the opportunity to create fashion profiles on Stylitics.com.

Of the countless applicants, the top 50 student profiles were selected based on their followers and activity on the site.

WVU sophomore Fashion Design & Merchandising student Emma Grossman took the top spot.

Although Grossman and WVU beat out hundreds of other schools, Boston University placed first in the contest.

Boston University didn’t have the top student profile, but they had more profiles than WVU, therefore acquiring more style points toward the contest.

Stylitics.com Marketing Manager Jessica Novak was thoroughly impressed with the contest.

“Boston was the top school, but Emma Grossman was actually the No. 1 student. She had an awesome profile,” said Novak.

Grossman will join the other top 50 winners in a feature article on HerCampus. com.

These style gurus will inspire a fashion look-book for the website with direct links to their own individual style pages.

The winners will also receive a prize package from some of the industry’s top designers.

Because of the great success of the contest, the Stylitics team plans to expand their empire.

“We’re starting to reach out to high school ambassadors.

It’s kind of the next step for Stylitics,” Novak said.

And although there is no word on the next style contest, Novak is confident there will be plenty of opportunities for students to share their fashion trends through Styltics.com.

“We don’t have anything solid in the works right now, but there’s definitely going to be something going on in the fall,” Novak said.

The newest innovation for Brooke Cassidy/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Stylitics.com is the launch of Allie Nwosu, a WVU sophomore biology student, is wearing a long burnt orange maxi dress with a blue bandeau and gladiator shoes. their app, which will be available for use this summer.

‘Man Hunt’ serves as an accurate account of justice by charles young a&e writer

Peter Bergen, CNN’s national security analyst, has a long and intimate history with Osama bin Laden.

In 1997, Bergen became the first Western journalist to secure an interview with bin Laden and was among the few allowed to tour the Abbottabad compound where the terrorist leader was killed during a U.S. Navy SEAL raid last May. In his latest book, “Man Hunt: The Ten Year Search for bin Laden – From 9/11 to Abbottabad,” Bergen uses his in-depth grasp of world affairs, excellent sources and his own firsthand accounts to weave together a gripping narrative of the search for the world’s most dangerous man.

In the book’s foreword, Bergen outlines his experiences and meetings with bin Laden and describes the shock he felt when Bin Laden chose to use the interview as a forum for publicly declaring war on the Western world.

As Bergen explains, the book was compiled using a number of sources, including CIA operatives, top Washington officials, members of the Pakistani military and government, and information mined from the classified documents released to the press by the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks.

In painstaking detail, Bergen traces bin Laden’s “career” as a jihadist leader, his movements before and after the attacks on 9/11, and the exhaustive collective effort that eventually led to his death.

Using documents recovered from his compound, Bergen is able to paint a portrait of the al-Qaida leader as a man and details his life during the nearly six years he spent living with members of his extended family in the vacation city of Abbottabad.

The book’s second half deals with the coordinated effort to find bin Laden and President Obama’s monumental decision to order the SEAL raid on his suspected compound.

Despite being surrounded by the nation’s leading military strategists and counterterrorism experts, the decision to order the raid came down to President Obama alone. As Bergen’s interviews show, despite an enormous amount of circumstantial evidence and the “gut feelings” of those closest to the operation, no one was ever completely certain bin Laden was in fact hiding in the suspected compound.

Famously, one of Obama’s advisers warned him the mission’s likelihood of success was statistically lower than the likelihood there had been of finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Against the odds and the advice of those around him (including Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Vice President Joe Biden), Obama ordered the daring – and ultimately successful – nighttime raid.

Although Bergen was granted access to the highest levels of government during the writing of his book, he refuses to pull punches or grant leniency to his sources.

In several chapters, Bergen frankly discusses “advanced interrogation” techniques used on suspected terrorists to gain information, the secret network of CIA-controlled prisons in Eastern Europe, the role of drone attacks in terrorist assassinations and expansive liberties taken by many of the counter-terrorism organizations while conducting surveillance and collecting information.

For anyone with an interest in the complicated jigsaw puzzle that is U.S. foreign policy, “Manhunt” will prove to be a gripping pageturner, with the excitement of a spy novel. For the rest of the public, “Manhunt” should serve as an account of justice and dealt to one of nations greatest foes.

‘LEAVE NO DOUBT’

file photo

Stewart embodied meaning of Mountaineer Pride cody schuler sports WRITER

It’s hard for outsiders to understand.

For the 1.8 million residents of the state of West Virginia, it comes naturally. It’s as sure of a thing as death and taxes. Anyone born here or who lives here understands that West Virginia is a unique place.

So what exactly is Mountaineer Pride?

Though definitions vary from person to person, all can agree that it is an innate sense of belonging and ownership in the

shared interests, failures and successes of the state and its people.

The pride and sense of unity amongst natives of the Mountain State is never extinguished in its entirety. It may wane over time, but in times of triumph or tragedy, it jolts back to the forefront stronger than ever.

Monday, when news broke of the passing of former West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart, that pride swelled and was as strong and as moving as it has ever been.

On January 2, 2006, 12 miners tragically passed in the deadliest West Virginia coal mining disaster in nearly 40 years. The nation watched as the people of West

Virginia mourned the loss of 12 of its own.

It was a low point for the state that seemed like it would never end.

Exactly two years later to the date, West Virginia upset Oklahoma 48-28 to capture the 2008 Fiesta Bowl.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a game that meant more to West Virginia than that one.

It was right after 13-9, right after bitter rival Pittsburgh ended the Mountaineers’ bid for a national championship. It was on the coattails of Rich Rodriguez bolting Morgantown on a plane to head for a “more prestigious” job in Ann Arbor.

To Bill Stewart, there was no

Everhart joins coaching staff by michael carvelli sports editor

Coaching at West Virginia has always been one of Ron Everhart’s dreams. On Monday, that dream came true when he was named the newest member of head coach Bob Huggins’ coaching staff.

“After talking to Coach Huggins and just even considering having the opportunity to work for him and being in a Hall of Fame coaching environment like he presents and having the ability to do that at home where I grew up, that was option No. 1-A,” Everhart said.

“I’m very proud to be given that opportunity right now.”

He was fired from his last head coaching job after spending six seasons at Duquesne, where he finished with a 9989 record. In his third year with the Dukes, he led the team – which had only won three games the year before he was hired – to 21 wins and an appearance in the NIT. It was Duquesne’s first postseason appearance since it earned a bid to the 1994 NIT. Everhart has been a head coach since 1994, spending seven seasons at McNeese State and five at Northeastern before ending up at Duquesne.

“We are really excited to bring Ronnie home,” Huggins said in a statement. “I have always admired the way Ronnie has coached his teams from McNeese State to Northeastern to Duquesne and the quality of players he has always been able to attract. Ron and I go back some 40 years, when I was a player here.”

The move to West Virginia gives Everhart, a Fairmont native, a chance to come back home and work with Huggins, an opportunity he said he would’ve had a hard time passing up even if he was still a head coach somewhere.

“It’s something that I’ve wanted to do for a very long time, and I’m not too sure that if I was a head coach somewhere I wouldn’t have given up that opportunity to take this one,” Everhart said. “That’s how much it means to me.”

Everhart will replace former assistant Jerrod Calhoun

on WVU’s staff after Calhoun left to take the head coaching position at Fairmont State University in April.

It will be Everhart’s first assistant job since he was at Tulane from 1988-94.

As for his plans to become a head coach again in the future, Everhart said that’s not something he’s looking to do as of now.

“I’m very excited to be right where I am, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do and have looked forward to,” he said. “I’ve been a head coach for 18 years and I had a good run, and right now, I just want to help a guy who has really helped me and a guy who I respect and admire. I don’t really have any plans or desire to really even consider anything like that.”

His relationship with Huggins goes back to when Everhart would hitchhike his way up to Morgantown to work out with Huggins while he was a player at WVU, and he even

slept in Huggins’ dorm room once when he got snowed in.

The two almost reunited at one point during their coaching careers when Everhart considered leaving his head coaching position at Northeastern to be an assistant to Huggins.

“The thing that’s always impressed me with Coach Huggs is the fact that he cares about his kids so much,” Everhart said. “Everybody always comes back, and there’s just a good family environment that he’s always created and he’s always had around every program that he’s been affiliated with. Not to mention the fact that he’s a Hall of Fame coach and he’s just been tremendously successful wherever he’s been.

“As good a coach as he’s always been, he’s an even better person. The ability to work with him was a dream come true for me.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

job more prestigious than the one he was about to occupy.

In the midst of a serious transition right before a BCS bowl game, West Virginia was hurt, wounded, stunned and seriously in shock. West Virginia needed a win.

West Virginia needed Bill Stewart.

Following the news of his passing on Monday, many people took to the web to revisit Stewart’s famous “Leave No Doubt” speech from that night.

“We’ve got a great opportunity,” he told his team. “We’ve got a dandy out there waiting on us.”

Van Zant will not return to WVU for 2013 season by michael carvelli sports editor

A little more than an hour following the West Virginia baseball team’s 5-4 loss to South Florida Saturday, WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck announced head coach Greg Van Zant would not be returning to coach the team for next season.

The Mountaineers finished the season with a 23-32 record and a 9-18 mark in Big East Conference play that wasn’t good enough for WVU to earn a spot in the Big East tournament, something that happened eight times in Van Zant’s 18-year career at West Virginia.

It will be the first time WVU has missed the Big East tournament since 2007.

As the Mountaineers prepare to move into the highly competitive Big 12 Conference next season, Luck felt it was the right time to make the move.

“I just believe that, given the challenges we’re going to be facing in the Big 12 with its baseball institutions, that we needed to go in a different direction,” Luck said. “This was the appropriate time to make the change.”

Van Zant got his start at West Virginia when he was a four-year starter at third base from 1980-83.

He joined the Mountaineer coaching staff as an assistant in 1991, and took over the head coaching position shortly after the death of Dale Ramsburg.

In his time at West Virginia, Van Zant won 528 games and led the Mountaineers in 1996, his second season as the school’s head coach.

Luck said in a conference call Saturday that he told Van Zant a few weeks ago he would not be returning for the

2013 season.

With the season over, Luck said they have started their search for the next head coach at West Virginia. A press release issued by the University stated that a national search for the Mountaineers’ next manager would begin immediately.

“We will move swiftly but prudently, as well,” Luck said.

“We want to move swiftly so as not to miss out on recruiting possibilities, but we also want to be smart and take the same approach we’ve taken Van Zant in the past hiring coaches.”

Whoever takes over in West Virginia’s first season in the Big 12 will have their work cut out for them, but they will be inheriting a lot of experience.

Despite struggling this season, the Mountaineers were starting to turn it around at the end of the season, winning four of their last six games of the season. They will return all but one player from this year’s team.

“We lost 10 seniors (last season) and had some tough injuries, so when we started off with these guys, they were all new. They learned on the job,” Van Zant said following his final game as the Mountaineers’ head coach. “College baseball is college baseball.

It’s not that big of a difference going to any conference. We play top teams in the country already.”

Even with the difficulties that will come with moving to a new league, Luck thinks there’s definitely a chance for

Mountaineers end season in extra-inning loss to USF by michael carvelli sports editor

With its seasons on the line, and a spot in the Big East Conference tournament up for grabs, the West Virginia baseball team came up just short in a 5-4 loss to South Florida in 12 innings to end its season.

The Mountaineers trailed 4-1 through four innings, mostly due to the way South Florida was able to produce at the plate with two outs.

All four runs the Bulls scored in the first four frames came with two outs in the inning off of WVU starter Marshall Thompson.

“We came out this weekend and played well as a team. I’m proud of our guys,” said first baseman Ryan McBroom.

“We always want to win games for Coach. He gave us the opportunity to come here and play ball, and I’m very thankful for that. We just came up a little short for him this year.”

South Florida struck for two runs in the second inning when right fielder Anthony Diaz hit a two-run single up the middle.

That’s the Mountaineer way; the Bill Stewart way. That is Mountaineer Pride.

In a moment when morale across the state was bruised and defeat seemed imminent, Stewart rallied his boys and achieved one of the finest moments in program history.

That improbable January night in Glendale, Az., will live on forever in Mountaineer lore.

The blue-collar values that embody this state were instilled in Stewart from an early age.

Despite rising to a handsomely paid, highly publicized position,

batters again in the next inning, Thompson gave up a single and a walk before South Florida catcher Blake Sydeski’s single into left field extended USF’s lead to 3-0.

The Bulls picked up another run in the fourth before the Mountaineers were finally able to get on the board in the form of a solo home run by right fielder Brady Wilson.

And West Virginia wasn’t done there.

Thanks to a great, gutsy effort by sophomore relief pitcher Ryan Tezak, who pitched eight innings in relief, the Mountaineers were able to stay in the game and give their offense some time to get on track.

“When I’m in the game, I want to pitch and I want the ball in my hands,” Tezak said.

“I just wanted to go as long as I could. I wish we could have pulled that one out, but I was just trying to give my team a chance to score some runs.”

Then the rally started in the sixth inning.

Still trailing 4-1, West Virginia started the inning with a double by catcher Alan Filauro.

After Filauro advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Wilson, Stewart never changed his ways.

He was a permanent fixture in the community and state. He remembered reporters and fans by first names. He could recall details about small towns from across West Virginia with impeccable accuracy. He posed for pictures with anyone who would ask for them. He always smiled.

Stewart saw the writing on the wall when a succession plan was drawn following his final season as head coach.

It was a difficult time for the New Martinsville, W.Va., native.

He felt unwanted. A new regime was in place with a different vision, set on taking the program in a different direction.

Stewart was hurt and did something I’m sure he regretted until his final day. Backed into a corner, he allegedly solicited a pair of reporters to “dig up dirt”

patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum

With its loss Saturday, the West Virginia baseball team will miss the Big East Conference tournament for the first time since 2007. he was driven in by Bobby Boyd to cut the lead to two.

Shortstop John Polonius doubled to put runners on second and third before the Bulls intentionally walked McBroom to load the bases.

After USF starter Matt Reed walked second baseman Billy on his successor, current head coach Dana Holgorsen.

That mistake became a tough one for Stewart as that uncharacteristic transgression attracted nationwide attention and portrayed the University in a negative light.

This past January, Stewart watched in the background, far away from the spotlight as West Virginia piled up a bowl-record 70 points in its Orange Bowl victory over Clemson.

As tough as it was watching the players he recruited succeed without being there to lead them, watching the team he loved so much excel, you can bet that he was swollen Mountaineer Pride that night.

The biggest question in the wake of his passing is this: How will Bill Stewart be remembered?

Stewart will not be best re-

Fleming to make the score 4-3, left fielder Matt Frazer hit a sacrifice fly to deep-right center field that brought in the tying run.

Both defenses came up big after that, with Tezak leading the way for the Mountaineers and the group of Reed, Ausmembered for his exploits on the football field. Every Saturday for three seasons, Stewart roamed the sidelines wearing his trademark sweater vest embroidered with the “Flying WV” logo.

He did a pretty darn good job at it, too.

Among coaches with a minimum of two seasons as head coach, Stewart obtained the second-highest winning percentage (.700) in program history, better than both Rodriguez (seven seasons, .698) and Don Nehlen (21 seasons, .614).

However, Stewart’s Mountaineer teams were defined as underachieving. A trio of ninewin seasons was no longer enough to satisfy the insatiable hunger of a West Virginia fan base who became accustomed to annual Big East champion-

tin Adams and Steven Leasure pitching well for the Bulls. Neither team scored a run for the next five innings.

South Florida took the lead in the 12th inning, when pinch hitter Buddy Putnam grounded out to bring in Jimmy Falla for the go-ahead run.

Tezak took the loss for West Virginia, throwing eight innings while scattering seven hits and striking out seven. He gave up just one run.

“I wasn’t really expecting that. I haven’t thrown that much since, probably, my junior year of high school,” Tezak said. “I just felt like I was out there for a while, but when you’re out there and you’re throwing, you don’t really think, ‘This is my seventh inning, this is my eighth inning.’

I felt good.”

Leasure picked up the victory on the mound for the Bulls after pitching the final two innings and giving up just one hit.

Four Bulls finished the game with at least two hits, led by Sydeski’s 3-for-6 performance at the plate.

the new head coach to be successful at West Virginia.

“There are some schools in relatively cold and wet climates that have found some success,” Luck said. “It’s not easy, but I do think there are plenty of good baseball players in our recruiting areas.

“The opportunity we can offer a young man from Pennsylvania or Ohio or Maryland or West Virginia or New Jersey or Virginia to play in a tremendous conference is very attractive.”

While Van Zant said that he believes West Virginia can succeed in the Big 12, he noted it isn’t going to happen overnight and, in order for that to happen, the program will need support from the school that proves it is committed to making the program as competitive as possible.

“You can go get a coach from wherever, and they’re just going to come from programs that have been fully funded that have success,” Van Zant said.

“You’re only as good as your support.

“I think our school is going to make a commitment to baseball, and we’ll see what happens.”

ships and BCS bowl berths.

Regardless of how you remember Stewart as a football coach, one thing doesn’t change – how you remember him as a man.

There was no greater ambassador for the University and the state than Stewart. Every chance he got, he promoted the Mountain State and all of the beauty of the people that lived there.

As a person, Stewart oftentimes drew comparisons to the late Penn State head coach Joe Paterno, who was celebrated for his ability to turn young men into adults during their four years in school.

Stewart will be remembered for being the man who helped outsiders understand how important the University and its football team is to the state of West Virginia.

He was constantly spreading Mountaineer Pride, and being the one man who could help outsiders understand just how special it means to be a Mountaineer.

The great American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “It is not the length of life, but the depth.”

At the age of 59, Stewart’s untimely trip on those “Country Roads” from “Almost Heaven, West Virginia,” to heaven came much to soon. He may have physically left this Earth, but his spirit still remains.

Stewart’s legacy as a champion of this state, its people and its way of life will last long after he is gone; Stewart’s legacy will live on through the pride of the people of West Virginia. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu
