Panel addresses Sandy Hook by megan calderado staff writer

In December, tragedy struck the small town of Newtown, Conn., when a gunman entered the local elementary school of Sandy Hook, and shot and killed 20 children and six adults. In an attempt to better understand the tragedy, the West Virginia University College of Education

and Human Services invited students, parents, teachers and community members to a panel in Lyon Tower Thursday to discuss the shooting and more importantly, to learn how to move forward from it. Because 20 of the victims were children of ages 6-7, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting shook the nation, particularly disturbing parents and educators across the

Mocktail party mixes fun, professionalism By Shelby toompas Staff writer

The West Virginia University Career Services Center and Student Affairs are working to ensure students know the dos and don’ts of entering the professional world. The Career Services Center will host the second annual Mocktail Party and Fashion show Feb. 12. Ca re e r Counselor Adrian Ferrera said he enjoys hosting the event, because he believes it really benefits the students. “The idea started after being at career fairs and seeing how students dress unprofessionally,” Ferrera said. “We want to show students what to wear and what not to wear when it comes to dressing for job fairs and interviews, as well as provide an educational portion as well.” The event will be held in the Mountainlair Ballrooms at 6 -8 p.m. beginning with the mocktail portion, where students will have the chance to enjoy hors d’oeuvres, as well as learn how to introduce and carry a conversation with a professional in that type of setting. “Students will be able

to have a Q&A with HR representatives to inform them how to present and introduce themselves, as well as learn what employers are looking for,” he said. Following the mocktail hour, Toni Jones, the Assistant director of career services, will give a presentation about how to eat and conduct an interview at the same time, with some dining etiquette and tips to network with an employer, as if students were actually at a cocktail party. “Every opportunity is on that can be an opportunity for a potential job, an internship or connection later down the road,” Ferrera said. “However, if students don’t know how to handle that conversation or turn that conversation into a business one, it can be harder for them in the future.” The third portion of the event will be a fashion show from local stores such as Talbots, Gap, JoS. A. Bank, Daniels located on High Street, Maurices, Jack and Jill and possibly JCPenney. This event is a great

Students plan day at Pirates game By Carlee Lammers city editor

As part of their senior capstone course, a group of West Virginia University public relations students are aiming to bring the student body a day of fun, food and baseball. During the WVU/ Morgantown Day at the Pittsburgh Pirates, students will be able to enjoy transportation to the April 19 game, a ticket for admission, a food voucher, a Tshirt and a Roberto Clemente jersey – all for $30. “It’s a really great package deal,” said senior public relations student Cornelius Cody. Thanks to support and funding from the Student Government Association and student affairs, Cody said he believes the event will not only provide students with a fun extracurricular activity, but also a chance to build relationships within the WVU and Morgantown community. “What I really think is the greatest part about this whole experience is

the opportunity to build community within the student body, but also to build community with Morgantown and the alumni,” he said. “One of the things that this University and this town prides itself on is its sense of community ... It’s essential to preserve that unity between the town and the school, but also it’s essential to preserve it between the alumni and the school so we can truly foster a national and worldwide community, in which Mountaineers are able to call on each other to make real change.” Cody said the group hopes to take the event above and beyond in years past and hopes to include a meet and greet prior to the game for current students and alumni, and the opportunity to speak with alumnus and owner of the Pirates Robert Nutting. “I think that’s an aspect that makes this day really special,” he said. “Not only do students have ties to the Pittsburgh

country. “It was almost like it was surreal because I have two daughters...It took me back to when they were in first grade,” said Dr. Jerry Jones, assistant professor of curriculum and instruction/ literacy studies. Jones previously worked as a superintendent and he shared his point of view from the school administration standpoint. “Everybody’s so busy

that we don’t take time to talk,” Jones said. Fellow panel member and interim department chair and associate professor of counseling psychology Jeffrey Daniels explained that out of recent school shootings, 82 percent of shooters told someone about their plan beforehand. “Teachers should integrate more with students to help break that code of

silence,” Daniels said. Chris Schimmel, assistant professor and coordinator of school counseling, agreed in order to heal and move forward, it’s necessary for the community to talk about the situation. “You should be turning to your school counselors for ideas of how to deal with this kind of tragedy and grief,” Schimmel said. Another way for young children to understand the

incident is to allow them to explore it. Schimmel lives about three miles from a mine in West Virginia that exploded about 10 years ago, killing 12 men. She recalls the following weekend after the explosion, when she saw her eight-year-old son and his friends pretending they were in the mine. “They’re children, but

Apothecary Ale House & Cafe offers unique beer menu, environment by cody schuler managing editor

In a town with more than 100 places to order a beer, one joint offers more than 100 different kinds of cold brews. Located at 227 Chestnut Street beside the Walnut PRT station, the Apothecary Ale House & Café is the only place downtown where you can have beers made in places from Oregon to Vermont, from Belgium to Germany and everywhere else in between. With more than 130 kinds of beer and 12 taps to choose from, ordering a pint of the cold stuff might seem like a tall order, but that’s where Grace comes in. Equal parts entrepreneur and beer connoisseur, co-owner Grace Hutchens can assure you regardless of your taste buds, there’s plenty of beer to be enjoyed at the Apothecary – even if you have never before ventured away from the large domestic brewers that dominate the advertising airwaves. “I’d say obviously that there’s more out there; there are all kinds of different styles, and it’s not as scary as you think it might be,” Hutchens said. “You can take baby steps, and you can find nice, well-made beers that are still to your taste flavor and your profile that you like. You don’t have to go to the most extreme, crazy, expensive beer, either.

Course offers help for embattled bees by bryan bumgardner associate city editor

Spring is on the way, reviving Morgantown with flora, fauna and warm weather. One small, inconspicuous insect will also be coming out of hibernation – one that is essential to the ecosystem but faces innumerable threats: the honeybee. A local coalition is fighting to defend the livelihood of this important insect. For millennia, beekeepers across the world have cared for colonies of honeybees, both for their honey making and pollinating abilities.

In recent years, numerous mites, diseases and pests have been ravaging honeybee populations around the world, threatening to upset a delicate biological chain. Honeybees are pollinators, aiding in the reproduction of flowering plants, including many of the world’s crops. Without honeybees, crops would suffer from less yields and growth. Here in Morgantown, virtually all the honeybees found in or around town come from private hives, according to local beekeepers Paul Cappas and Mark Becilla. “The bee industry and the existence of the bees

depends almost exclusively on the beekeepers and large pollinators,” Cappas said. “If we would quit keeping bees, they wouldn’t exist.” Becilla and Cappas are part of the Monongalia County Beekeepers, a coalition of local apiarists who maintain bee hives around the county. As the years have passed, mites and diseases have wiped out native populations of bees, making Becilla and Cappas aware of the importance of their personal hives. “If one of these diseases got out of control, it would wipe out agriculture in our country,” Cappas said.

“It’s all for a more common good; it’s not driven by money or personal reasons.” “We would be in a really horrible spot if we didn’t have honeybees,” said research associate professor John S. Strazanac it West Virginia University. “You’d have a very boring diet without honeybees pollinating.” He points to the bee-dependent almond industry in California as an example. “If you didn’t have companies trucking in thousands of bees to almond orchards, you and I would not have almonds. Period,” he said. Cappas and Becilla are

US looking at action against China cyberattacks WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration is considering more assertive action against Beijing to combat a persistent cyber-espionage campaign it believes Chinese hackers are waging against U.S. companies and government agencies. As The New York Times and Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that their computer systems had been infiltrated by China-based hackers, cybersecurity experts said the U.S. government is eyeing more pointed diplomatic and trade measures. Two former U.S. officials said the administration is preparing a new National Intelligence Estimate that, when complete, is expected to detail the cyberthreat, particularly from China, as a growing economic problem. Neither of the former officials was authorized to discuss the classified report and spoke only on condition of anonymity. One of the former officials said the NIE, an assessment prepared by the National Intelligence Council, also will cite more directly a role by the Chinese government in such espionage. The former official said the NIE will underscore the administration’s concerns about the threat

David Durham, director of Career Services Center, said the overshadowing purpose of the event, after receiving feedback from employers and former students, is students today generally are not prepared to enter professional situations. “Students get a great education, and they might have a great resume, but some lack social and behavior skills,” Durhman said. “Unfortunately, as a society some communication skills have been lost because of texting and other forms of technology.” Both graduate and undergraduate students are welcome attend the event to learn how to regain these skills.

and will put greater weight on plans for more aggressive action against the Chinese government. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in an interview with reporters as she wound up her tenure, said the U.S. needs to send a strong message that it will respond to such incidents. “We have to begin making it clear to the Chinese - they’re not the only people hacking us or attempting to hack us - that the United States is going to have to take action to protect not only our government’s, but our private sector, from this kind of illegal intrusions. There’s a lot that we are working on that will be deployed in the event that we don’t get some kind of international effort under way,” she said. “Obviously this can become a very unwelcome and even dangerous tit-for-tat that could be a crescendo of consequences, here at home and around the world, that no one wants to see happen,” she said. Although the administration hasn’t yet decided what steps it may take, actions could include threats to cancel certain visas or put major purchases of Chinese goods through national security

reviews. “The U.S. government has started to look seriously at more assertive measures and begun to engage the Chinese on senior levels,” said James Lewis, a cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “They realize that this is a major problem in the bilateral relationship that threatens to destabilize U.S. relations with China.” To date, extensive discussions between Chinese officials and top U.S. leaders – including President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta – have had little impact on what government and cybersecurity experts say is escalating and technologically evolving espionage. The Chinese deny such espionage efforts. Internet search leader Google focused attention on the China threat three years ago by alleging that it had traced a series of hacking attacks to that country. The company said the breaches, which became known as “Operation Aurora,” appeared aimed at heisting some of its business secrets, as well as spying on Chinese Ap human rights activists who relied on Google’s Gmail President Barack Obama gestures speaks during his final news conference of his first term in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C. service.

also be a larger career fair that will be open to the entire University March 7. “We wanted to have this event at a time before the bigger career fair so students can learn this information, build their resume and make some adjustments on how they talk to employers so when they get to the career fair it is still fresh in his or her mind,” he said. Many trends show students don’t start looking for jobs or internships until the spring semester. “Even though they should start looking earlier in the fall semester, we want to give the students the information as soon as possible,” Ferrera said. “Hopefully in the future we can do one in the fall, as well.” Durham said many employers know the students have received an education but are looking for someone who can communicate effectively, someone who knows how

to handle themselves with other individuals and can work well in groups and someone who is able to communicate to clients. “We would like students to learn that there is more to being careerready and there is more than going to college and getting good grades,” Durham said. “It is also important to learn professional behaviors and etiquette, and this event is a great opportunity for our students.” There will also be prizes given away to those students who attend. In order to attend, all students must RSVP on the MountaineerTRAK as soon as possible.

She remembers being at the nursery school after 9/11 happened. “We noticed children in the block area, building towers and knocking them down with pretend airplanes,” Warash said. Although this sight might be too much for some adults to swallow, Miriam Roth Douglas, professor of education at West Liberty University and adjunct professor at WVU, believes it is imperative people are able to express themselves through art in order to heal. “The arts are cut out of the curriculum more and

more, so they don’t have the time to express maybe anger or frustrations they have, so it cannot be caught early,” Douglas said. The panel concluded with allowing students to stand at a microphone and address any remaining questions they have to the panel. “Everybody feels helpless and doesn’t know what to do at times, but maybe now people will get structure and ideas of how to handle these situations,” Douglas said.

A lot of them around here I sell for four bucks, which is normal price for a lot of beers out there. It’s not as frightening as you’d think.” The Apothecary Ale House & Cafe was born in mid-October of 2012 and immediately offered a prolific beer selection. Hutchens previously served as manager at Jay’s Getaway, the Apothecary’s predecessor owned by Jay Redmond, who also owns Jay’s Daily Grind on Willey Street. Along with her mother, Hutchens purchased Jay’s Getaway, and the two set out to make the place new. Hutchens said one of her first goals was to revamp the place and give it a new identity – starting with a new name. “(We wanted to) create a new identity (and) make it ours because it wasn’t Jay’s anymore,” she said. “My boyfriend and I were watching a prohibition documentary by Ken Burns and they were talking about apothecaries, and we were like ‘huh, that sounds pretty cool.’” In a little more than three months, the Apothecary Ale House and Cafe has carved out a unique identity in the community, with loyal patrons stopping by on a regular basis and new people venturing in all the time. In light of recent success, the Apothecary doubled its number of taps (from six to 12) and added a new bottle cooler to house and expand inventory. Hutchens said the primary factors contributing to the Apothecary’s success

were the beer and the environment, both of which are unlike any other in town. “I think it’s the beer, first of all, the different types of beer,” she said. “The fact that we love the beer – that’s what we’re all about, and we know about it. We like to get different stuff and do stuff and push (the envelope). “Also, it’s quiet; even though it’s crowded wallto-wall it’s reasonably calm. The music is never blaring; it’s a place to come and hang out.” Though Hutchens said the Apothecary plays well with graduate students, professors and professionals, the Apothecary Ale House & Cafe is a place that can be enjoyed by everyone. “It caters to an older crowd, too. I get a lot of people that are just 21, but I get a lot of the graduate students, the professors, so it works for all ages, which is what’s nice about it,” she said. She said her mother has deals primarily in the accounting side of the business while she and her sister can usually be found behind the bar. A few other employees are on hand to perform various other tasks, including inventory work, dish washing and serving food. Though the Apothecary Ale House & Cafe has a limited menu, Hutchens said she hopes to expand the food offerings in the future. “Doing these two things (the beer cooler and additional taps) was a big step for us. In the distant future, I want some sort of coffee in here; I want to be able to expand our food, too,” she said. “We have some paninis and snacks, but I want more.

Nothing too crazy, but cafe is technically part of our name, so I want to expand on that a little bit. For now, we’re happy with the beer.” Many of the Apothecary’s customers would agree with that sentiment. Part of the trick to managing a diverse beer menu is knowing a lot about beer. Hutchens certainly does and she uses this knowledge to decide what brews to offer. “I know the breweries pretty well ... and then it comes down to a specific style. I know what a different style is supposed to taste like (and) how it is,” she said. “Generally I know if the beer is good or not before I order it, but sometimes (distributors) will come in and say ‘oh, we have a brand new beer from this brewery, do you want to try it?’ And of course, I do.” A long-time Morgantown resident, Hutchens said both the city and W.Va. are on the verge of a breakthrough when it comes to creating high-quality, popular beer. “We’re on the cusp of getting some really good breweries here – we already have a lot … the selection has become really nice in the past three years.” For Morgantown residents, that selection – including beers from around the world – is only a short drive away. The Apothecary Ale House & Cafe is open 4-12 p.m. Monday-Thursday and 4 p.m.-1 a.m. Friday-Saturday. Those interested in more information can find the Apothecar y on Facebook.

WVU to open Big 12 play No. 1 West Virginia

travels to face Wildcats

West Virginia will open Big 12 Conference play at the Coliseum Friday night.

By Meghan Carr sports writer

The West Virginia University Gymnastics team will finally have its home opener and first Big 12 Conference competition three weeks into the season. The Mountaineers will host No. 2 Oklahoma, William & Mary and Western Michigan tonight at 7 in the WVU Coliseum. “We are very excited to open our season at home this weekend just to show the fans what we have been working so hard on all preseason,” said second-year head coach Jason Butts. Tonight will be the first of two designated “dollar days.” All tickets, hotdogs, popcorn and Coke products will be available for purchase for one dollar. The 2013 WVU Gymnastics team poster will also be available for fans to pick up. This is the first taste of Big 12 competition for the Mountaineers and it comes against the No. 2 nationally-ranked Sooners (7-0). OU has earned four Big 12 Championships in the last five years and advanced to the NCAA Championships every year since 2004. WVU currently sits behind OU at the No. 2 spot in the Big 12 rankings.

“I am excited to bring some Big 12 competition to the coliseum,” Butts said. “It’s not every day that you get to face the best competition in the country and we welcome that challenge.” The Sooners currently hold a 5-1 record over the Mountaineers. Joining the Big 12 showdown will be Western Michigan University (3-1) and William & Mary (1-2). WVU holds an unbeaten record against the WMU Broncos at 14-0, and a 2-0 record against the William & Mary Tribe. WVU rebounded after a disappointing loss in Utah when the Mountaineers scored a seasonbest 195.15 at NC State, the best January road score in the programs history. The Wolfpack eventually edged past the Mountaineers by scoring 195.2. Butts said he was pleased with his team’s performance last weekend against NC State, but he still wants to see more consistency from his team. Senior Chelsea Golds c h ra f e p a ss e d t h e 1,000-point mark at Utah, and is less than 350 points away from breaking onto WVU career points board. Goldschrafe knows everyone still needs to improve and believes they will continue this weekend. “We know we need to

clean up our routines and at home. I think everyone will feel more comfortable and be able to improve their routines,” Goldshrafe said. Dave Kazara, former WVU assistant coach, will be returning to Morgantown as the head coach of Western Michigan. Kazara left WVU to become an assistant coach at the SEC powerhouse Arkansas. “He has been a mentor to me and my assistant coach Travis Doak,” Butts said. During Butts’ time as uneven bars coach at West Virginia, his gymnasts only counted one fall for the entire 2006 season. Coach Butts is familiar with the other two programs coming to Morgantown. He is hoping to model the WVU program after Oklahoma University. OU has done a lot in regard to promoting their gymnastics team, and Butts is hoping to do the same. Two-time ECAC Coach of the Year Mary Lewis is an old friend of Butts and always brings a competitive Tribe team to Morgantown. “I think we can take them down if we focus on fighting all the way through tonight,” Butts said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The No. 1 West Virginia Rifle team will travel to Kentucky to take on the No. 3 Wildcats in what will surely become a shootout to determine the regular-season winner of the Great American Rifle Conference (GARC). “Every match is going to be important here on out,” said West Virginia head coach Jon Hammond. “It’s going to be really good preparation for the other matches, and maybe have a little bit extra with it being Kentucky.” Throughout the years, the Mountaineers and Wildcats have developed a rivalry, as the two squads, along with TCU, have dominated collegiate rifle. “It definitely has that extra edge that it’s Kentucky, who are a big rival for us,” Hammond said. “It’s going to determine the regular season conference championship, so that adds a little bit into it.” Hammond is aware of just how big the Kentucky match

can be, but he is confident his team will handle the high stakes match with businesslike fashion. “It’s there: we know that. There is no getting around it, (and) it’s a big match,” Hammond said. “The challenge of that is when you get there, and it’s the day of the competition. The challenge of our sports is putting all those things out of your mind and just dealing with your own performance. “We’re aware of it. We know who we’re shooting against, but we’re really focused on shooting our own match and putting in the best performance we can.” To take down the Wildcats, who enter the match with only one loss to TCU, the Mountaineers will rely on the strengths that have led them to a 10-0 record. “The depth (of the team) has been really important this year,” Hammond said. “The strength is just the talent they have. They’re all capable of shooting really high scores.” Not only have a plethora of West Virginia shooters obtain top scores on the range,

they have been able to shoot top scores on a regular basis. “Consistency is a big part of being able to repeat that week in and week out,” Hammond said. “Different people stepping in at different times and hopefully, as we get closer to the end of the season, the consistency gets even better, and we start shooting as best as possible.” To make sure the Mountaineers are shooting their best at the end of the season, Hammond does not want anyone on the team focusing on any other opponents, even their greatest rival. “We really just need to stay focused on ourselves,” Hammond said. “I told them all that we’re not really interested with how other teams are shooting or how they’re doing. “We really just have to take care of our own business.” They will take that mentality as they close out the regular season against Kentucky and move on to the post season, where in years past the Mountaineers have been at their best. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

including a 17-point loss at Baylor and a 21-point loss on the road at Iowa State. In their previous game, Oklahoma handled TCU 74-53. In the Mountaineers’ last meeting with Oklahoma, junior guard Taylor Palmer scored 30 points – best among all scorers. She was the only Mountaineer to finish in double-figures, though, and Oklahoma’s balance proved to be fatal. Five Sooners scored 10 or more points, led by Ellenberg’s 19 points. West Virginia held a

slight advantage at halftime, leading Oklahoma 39-36 heading into the locker room. The Sooners used a strong second half to close out the game with a 71-68 victory. Palmer, Caldwell and Dunning all fouled out for the Mountaineers, and sophomore forward

Christal Leary was charged with a technical foul. If the Mountaineers want to pull out a victory on Play 4 Kay day, it’s safe to say a more balanced offensive attack and keeping key players out of foul trouble will be necessary. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Redshirt junior guard Christal Caldwell made a career-best five 3-pointers in West Virginia’s victory over Oklahoma State and her clutch jumper late in the fourth quarter sealed the Mountaineers’ win. Carey said Caldwell is the Mountaineers most consistent player.

“Christal has been our most consistent player all year and plays extremely hard,” he said. “The big bucket down the stretch was a big shot for us. She played hard.” Oklahoma 6-foot-6 senior center Nicole Griffin and 6-foot-3 senior forward Joanna McFarland provide a stable balance of size and power in the paint.

OPINION

friday January 25, 2013

Preparing for inclement weather Stepping outside the front door this winter has paralleled the mystery of opening a box of Cracker Jacks – sometimes life hands you a decoder ring, and other times it provides guided instructions for folding your very own paper puppet in the shape of Grover Cleveland. Weathering inclement weather can be a drag, but winter conditions can also spell danger for students and residents. The editorial board of The Daily Athenaeum would like you to keep reading your student newspaper unscathed, so we’ve assembled a few tips for combatting the cold. 1. Use good judgement

Those of you who have seen “The Shining” are aware that cabin fever can provide the basis for an excellent horror story, but venturing outside unnecessarily during a snowstorm can be equally terrifying. Knowing when to make yourself a cup of cocoa and sit it out can be the key to avoiding disaster. West Virginia University rarely cancels its classes in the face of winter weather advisory warnings, even when other facets of University operations are closed. That doesn’t mean students should assume it is safe to drive. Knowing when to throw in the towel could save you from heart-

break and whiplash. 2. Know your car Haven’t you ever noticed how chihuahuas don’t seem to realize they’re the size of a Rottweiler’s brain? The same principle often applies to the owners of early ’90s Honda Del Sols and the Hummer H3. West Virginia is classified as a “moderate risk” state for accidents during the winter months, and visibility impairments, precipitation, high winds and temperature extremes all factor into the risk associated with driving. Simple steps like equipping a vehicle with snow tires or weighting the bed of a truck can mean the dif-

ference between safe and sorry. 3. Prepare for the worst Not to sound ominous, but winter storms are the cause of dozens of deaths every winter in the United States. Even if you don’t drive, the dangers of tiny frozen ice crystals can still be very real. Power outages, felled trees and property damage are all real dangers associated with Jack Frost’s favorite pastime, and reliving the “Oh my God, I shot my eye out!” scene from “A Christmas Story” isn’t really the same kind of fun as a snowball fight. Always, ALWAYS dress in layers and if possible,

in water-resistant clothing. Wear the appropriate footwear when walking to class – not to diss UGGS, but the smell of wet sheepskin can make a Sunnyside dumpster seem like Bath and Body Works. Stocking up on non-perishable food items and finding alternative sources of power in the event of an outage are just a couple of ways to ensure you’re not caught off guard the next time someone shakes the Morgantown snow globe. Be careful, be safe and be prepared, and don’t let this winter be the winter of your discontent.

Boy Scouts take step toward modernity david perry columnist

The Boy Scouts of America, the 102-year-old institution that has been an undeniable influence on hundreds of thousands of young men in America, has finally moved into the 21st century when it comes to equal rights for the gay and lesbian community. Sunday, the board of the organization will vote whether or not to lift the ban on gay leaders and Scouts that has been in place since 1980. If the bill passes, the local troops will decide whether or not to allow openly gay members in. This decision follows years of controversy and bad press for the organization that was lambasted in the media for rejecting the applications of gay Scouts for Scouting’s highest honor, the Eagle Scout award, and barring gay and lesbian leaders from joining as leaders in the troop. Eagle Scout filmmaker Steven Spielberg resigned from the Board of Advisors for the Boy Scouts of America in 2001 in protest to the ban on gay Scouts and leaders. The organization, based out of Texas, has always been prone to making more conservative policy decisions based on religious values. The similarities to the way Scouting approached the African-American civil rights movement and the way they are handling the current issue of gay and lesbian civil rights are striking. In 1910, when the organization was founded, there was a clause stating individuals of any race and creed were allowed to participate, but the actual implementation came about when lo-

Thousands of Boy Scouts march with flags for the playing of the national anthem during the Boy Scouts of America’s 2010 National Jamboree at Ft. AP Hill, Va. cal troops decided to integrate, with most doing so in the late 1940s. While not exactly progressive, the move was far more advanced than most of American society at that time. The gay and lesbian community has to be thrilled with the board’s decision. The change of heart by one of the most socially conservative groups in America has to bode well for the gay civil rights movement and suggests that more change

is coming – perhaps in the form of more states legalizing gay marriage in the 2014 midterm elections. As an Eagle Scout myself, I have always been uncomfortable with the Boy Scouts of America’s position on allowing gay members in. After all, it’s not as if gays are fundamentally unable to follow the tenets of the Scout Law or obey the Scout Oath. I’m sure there are many gay Scouts equally deserving of the honor of being an Eagle

Scout as I am. All this talk of gay leaders being more likely to be pedophiles is hideous and pseudo-factual slander, and years of straight male leadership did nothing to prevent sexual abuse in troops all across America. Scouting was an important part of my life, and it definitely helped shape me into the person I am today, and because it was so important to me, I want others to be able to experience the same things, regardless

of sexual orientation. Without Scouts, I would have been deprived of many of my closest friendships and some of the most important experiences of my life, like hiking in the backwoods of New Mexico on the Scout reservation Philmont. Being a part of the Scouts was also important to my parents, who were leaders in some capacity along the way, and I would hate for gay parents of Scouts to be unable to be involved in

the way my parents were because of their sexual orientation. Bravery is a key tenet of the Scout Law. I hope the board shows the bravery to overturn the ban on gays, and I hope the local troops show the bravery to accept them. Friendliness is also a key tenet of the Scout Law. Let us welcome anyone who wishes to join the Scouts with open arms and open minds.

Standing up for the planet: A justification for civil disobedience alli welton the harvard crimson

Over winter break, I was arrested with seven other students for staging a lockin at the Westborough, Mass. office of the TransCanada Corporation in protest of the Keystone XL pipeline. Bound together with chains, sitting beneath the corporation’s logo and the American flag, we made the point that TransCanada is locking our generation into irreversible climate disaster by pushing forward new fossil fuel infrastructure projects like the Keystone XL pipeline. Growing up, I never expected to be arrested for civil disobedience, but today I find myself and my generation in a desperate situation. We are living in a time of great crisis—the

climate crisis. The World Bank recently published a report announcing that we are on track to warm the planet up by four degrees Celsius by the end of the century. The report details predictions of intense heat waves, widespread water shortages, massive wildfires, and the disruption of livelihoods around the world. These alarming details, however, are overshadowed by the authors’ terrifying statement that “there is no certainty that adaptation to a 4°C world would be possible.” We may not be able to adapt to global warming. The basis of our civilization could fall out from under our feet within our lifetimes. Everything we have ever worked for—all the cities, the families, the art, the science—could be lost. Unfortunately, the unbendable rules of chem-

istry and physics have set a very narrow timeframe for action against the climate crisis. After humans have warmed the planet up a certain amount, we will cross a natural “tipping point,” such as the melting of the arctic tundra and the accompanying release of potent greenhouse gases locked under its surface. After these tipping points, the Earth will begin to warm itself, and any success we have in lowering our own greenhouse gas emissions will not stop the warming. No one knows exactly when the tipping points will arrive, but the International Energy Agency has projected that we will be “locked in” to irreversible climate change in four years because of our continued construction of fossil fuel infrastructure. Rage boils up inside of me when I look at these

numbers because the world did not need to let things go this close to the edge. Scientists have been calling for action for more years than I have been alive, yet our government has failed to act. The costs of inaction grow each day, as the timeframe left to transition to renewables shortens and the impacts of climate change, from last summer’s droughts in the Midwest to Superstorm Sandy, start to take their toll. Even today, our government has failed to act with enough resolve to really solve the problem. Its failure is inexcusable. If our government will not stop these corporations on the basis of strong scientific and economic arguments, then we must produce the political will to stop them through our actions. The traditional methods of political mobilization—rallies, lobby-

ing, even opinion polls that show 88 percent support for government action on climate change—have failed to overcome the stranglehold that fossil fuel corporations have on our government. Civil disobedience has thus become a logical and necessary next step for the increasingly powerful and desperate climate movement. Our action in Westborough was not an anomaly but rather an addition to a growing nationwide narrative as more and more people turn to civil disobedience to stop the climate crisis. Over 1,200 activists were arrested for a sit-in against Keystone XL outside the White House, while dozens of Texan activists have taken courageous direct action to prevent and delay construction of the pipeline’s southern leg. Coal mines, natural gas

fracking wells, and other fossil fuel infrastructure projects are becoming hotbeds for civil disobedience, as are the offices of the decision-makers who irresponsibly let the projects proceed. In a sign of the times, the Sierra Club recently made the first exception in 120 years to its policy against civil disobedience. By putting our bodies on the line in acts of peaceful civil disobedience, we are making the ultimate moral statement. The message sent by our sacrifices will reverberate through society until the corporations give up or the government finally finds the political will to stop them. The task of transitioning to renewable energy may look daunting, but as our acts of civil disobedience make clear, our commitment to survival is non-negotiable.

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins talks with Deniz Kilicli during a game against Kansas.

West Virginia looks to end two-game slide on the road against Texas Tech By Nick Arthur

Associate Sports Editor

West Virginia won two games in the month of January and has lost five of its last six. But the Mountaineers (9-11, 2-5) may have an advantage to build on when they travel to Lubbock, Texas to face Texas Tech (99, 2-5) Saturday at 1:30 p.m. In its last outing, West Virginia fell by just five to top-ranked Kansas in a game that was nearly tied with less than 10 minutes to play. The game before that, the Mountaineers fell by 14 on the road at unranked Oklahoma State. These inconsistencies all season have left head coach Bob Huggins scratching his head.

“I just never know what we’re going to do,” Huggins said. “Seems like when we make shots, we don’t make free throws. When the offense kind of runs, we don’t guard. I don’t know (why).” The Red Raiders lost by 16 in their most recent game at Texas and have also fallen in five of their last six outings. Texas Tech was picked to finish ninth in the Big 12 Conference preseason poll, while the Mountaineers – who currently are in eighth – were picked to finish sixth. “When they picked us sixth, I said ‘There’s no way we’re going to be sixth,” Huggins said. “I thought our seniors were going to step up, because (the) seniors have always stepped up. You think your freshmen are going to get better

and the three transfers are going to come in and really add to our program. Reality is, probably none of that has happened. Now, we’re 2-and-5.” West Virginia junior center and La Salle transfer Aaric Murray had arguably his most impressive game against the Jayhawks last Monday. Murray had 17 points and seven rebounds against one of the nation’s best low-best defenders, Jeff Withey, who’s the NCAA secondleading shot blocker. Murray broke his hand a year ago while redshirting, and he’s just now getting into the groove in terms of practice. “This really is first year of being in practice every day,” Huggins said. “I don’t think they learn much by osmosis, standing over

there on the sideline.” If West Virginia wants to reverse the losing streak, it will need Murray to continue to stay hot and for the other role players to step up. Murray is the Mountaineers’ lone player, averaging double-digit points per game. And four of WVU’s five top scorers are underclassmen. This is a statistic that separates the Mountaineers from most of its opponents. “We’re depending on true freshmen to make shots for us,” Huggins said. West Virginia hasn’t had a losing season since 2003 and will need a win against the Red Raiders to fall even further behind the eight ball. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Parity is a good thing in college basektball Last season, Kentucky and its crop of talented “one-anddone” freshmen were the clear-cut powerhouse in college basketball. It wasn’t even close. Sure, Kansas was able to keep things close and the Wildcats lost to Vanderbilt and Indiana, but there was never much doubt as to which team was the best in the country. That can’t be said this season. And that’s not a bad thing at all. We’ve already had four different teams hold the top spot in the Associated Press top 25, and high-profile programs like North Carolina and those Kentucky Wildcats – full of a new crop of talented freshmen who have shown potential but didn’t take the college basketball world by storm like Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and company did last season – are struggling to win games and are out of the polls. It seems like handfuls of ranked teams fall to unranked opponents every week, including No. 10 Oregon falling to Stanford Wednesday night. While a lot of people, especially casual college hoops fans, will look at those things and say that it is devaluing the sport because there’s not a clear No. 1 team, but in a way this is exactly what most diehard fans have grown to love about the sport. Unlike in college football where fans love seeing teams like Alabama dominate their way through their schedules to nearly unblemished records and dominating performances in the National Championship Game, part of the allure of college basketball has always been the possibility of the upsets. Think about March Madness. Nobody likes seeing the higher ranked teams blow out opponents, everyone wants to see the teams like Lehigh or Norfolk State pull off early round upsets or VCU make a run to the Final Four. That’s why college basketball has been fantastic up to this point. It doesn’t matter which team is ranked higher or has the better record, any team has been able to show that it can come out and surprise fans with a big win. How many people thought that Ole Miss would be playing as well as it has when the season started? Who would have said that, considering how well the Blue Devils were playing, Duke would have lost to Miami by 27 points? College basketball is as unpredictable as it gets in sports. And, while it might not be ideal for the people who like to see the teams that you would expect to dominate year in and year out do what is expected of them, it’s hard to argue that it’s bad for the sport. It happens a lot in other sports that teams don’t perform the way they’re supposed to and others emerge as surprise contenders. But there aren’t many sports that are as wide open as college basketball has proven to be this year. Any of the teams ranked in the top 12 right now have realistic chances to make a run to the Final Four, and it probably wouldn’t surprise many if they did. And other teams that aren’t ranked as high have the experience and talent to make runs when it matters most. So sure, the scoring is down and some of the more notable teams aren’t playing as well as they should. Regardless, anyone who watches all the parity that has gone on in college basketball and sees it as a bad thing simply just doesn’t understand what makes the sport so great. College basketball is at its best when nobody can guess what’s going to happen next. And that’s why this season has a chance to be so special. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

‘Carmen’ to come to WVU

theoakstheater.com

An actor and actress play the roles of Don Jose and Carmen.

By Corey Zinn A&E WriteR

The College of Creative Arts is putting on the biggest opera they have performed in years – the everfamous “Carmen.” Even if you skipped out on every show West Virginia University has offered, “Carmen” is the one you simply cannot miss. This English version of “Carmen” will open Feb. 78 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee will be offered Feb. 10 at 2 p.m. in the Clay Theatre in the Creative Arts Center. French composer Georges Bizet adapted this renowned opera from a short story about Don Jose, who becomes enchanted by a seductive Gypsy named Carmen. “Carmen is the embodiment of this whole character of the piece; the Gypsy life. To be free and to do as you please is the most important thing, and to hell with everything else,” said Jennifer Berkebile, who plays the role of Carmen. Don Jose’s obsession becomes jealousy as he finds Carmen is only toying with him, just as she has done with many other men, but Don Jose will not allow her to leave him and this strug-

gle of love turns to tragedy. As memorable and passionate as the story is, the music and dancing is truly what makes this opera special, and whether or not you realize it, you do know its most popular songs. Plot elements and songs from the play are embedded into our culture and have been recreated into countless parodies, such as Bugs Bunny. It is a rare occasion for the School of Music to be so heavily integrated into a WVU Theatre production. Members of the WVU Symphony Orchestra will play the score live from the pit. “All the principal characters are voice majors from the opera department, and that’s because of how taxing the roles are, and we don’t have mics,” Berkebile said. Since last October, those with principal roles have been training for their singing and dancing, and they have been perfecting the English translation. “At first the English was a little jarring, but we really got into it, and now I think it sounds really good. It makes a lot more sense than it did for me before, and the audience is going to understand a lot better, too,” Berkebile said. The dancers have re-

cruited outside help from a professional flamenco dancer to teach the students. This is the first opera WVU has arranged since “Le Nozze di Figaro” two years ago, and it has been even longer since an opera has been performed in the great Clay Theatre. “It’s a pretty big deal,” said Samantha Destefano, who plays the part of Frasquita. “The production is huge. The music is well known, it’s exciting, (and) there’s so much action and drama. All the chorus numbers are fantastic, and the solos are really amazing, too.” This production will not only feature students, but the several faculty members who auditioned to be a part of such a famous piece. With all of the collaboration between schools, faculty, students and outside help, “Carmen’s” intense production is sure to leave an impression. Tickets for “Carmen” are $15 for students and senior citizens, and $20 for adults. Tickets are available at the CAC Box office at 304-293SHOW, or online via www. ticketmaster.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Georges Bizet’s ‘Carmen’ has been performed all over the world.

Randy Travis receives probation after DUI SHERMAN, Texas (AP) —Randy Travis pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated Thursday in a case that began last summer when the naked country music star crashed his Pontiac Trans Am. Travis received a 180day suspended jail sentence, 24 months of probation and a $2,000 fine. He was ordered to spend at least 30 days at an alcohol treatment facility, complete 100 hours of community service and have an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he operates while on probation. Travis, 53, entered the plea in a court in the North Texas city of Sherman. The misdemeanor was punishable by up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine. As the singer walked out of the courthouse, he thanked supporters and said he is glad to have the case behind him. Authorities have said a Trans Am registered to Travis veered off a road Aug. 7 near Tioga, a town about 60 miles north of Dallas where the enter-

tainer lives. The car struck several barricades in a construction zone. Travis was found naked and combative at the scene, with a blood alcohol level of more than 0.15, investigators said. The legal limit for driving is 0.08. The country star, whose hits include “Forever and Ever, Amen,” walked out of jail the next morning wearing scrubs, no shoes and a baseball cap. Travis also had faced a charge of retaliation for allegedly threatening officers, but as part of the plea agreement he will no longer face that charge. His lawyers have previously said the singer has a great deal of respect for law enforcement and has stopped drinking alcohol. The August accident was among a string of recent run-ins with the law for Travis. Police in suburban Dallas cited Travis following an Aug. 23 incident in a church parking lot in which he allegedly intervened in an argument involving a woman he knows

and her estranged husband. Nobody was hurt. Larry Friedman, one of his attorneys, said Travis pleaded no contest in that case in January. In an agreement with prosecutors, he got 90 days’ deferred adjudication, meaning it will be removed from his record if he does not get involved in another assault in that time period.

Randy Travis pleads guilty to DUI charges.

Travis also was arrested last February in Denton County, northwest of Dallas, for public intoxication after police spotted a vehicle parked in front of a church and found an open bottle of wine and Travis smelling of alcohol. That case is no longer on file with the county court and appears to have been dismissed.

Ocean, Mumford & Sons Governor Christie to to perform at Grammys appear on ‘Late Show’ NEW YORK (AP) — All five nominees for album of the year at this year’s Grammys will perform at the awards show next month.

Beyonce sings national anthem a cappella By Lacey Palmer Associate A&E Editor

Beyonce nails the national anthem at the Super Bowl halftime press conference.

nydailynews.com

After Beyonce was accused of pre-recording the national anthem and lipsyncing at the presidential inauguration, she sang “The Star Spangled Banner” a cappella at the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show press conference at the New Orleans Convention Center Thursday. After she finished the anthem, she asked, “Any questions?” Although the press conference was about the upcoming halftime show – her first Super Bowl performance – many reporters couldn’t resist asking about the lip-syncing controversy. Beyonce responded by saying she is a perfectionist and the inauguration was an incredibly important event for her. She was not comfortable with the amount of practice she had

been able to put in with the U.S. Marine Band or the weather, so singing along to a pre-recorded track of herself was the option she chose. She also noted that this is a common practice in the music industry. “I did not feel comfortable taking a risk. It was about the president and the inauguration, and I wanted to make him and our country proud, so I decided to sing along with my prerecorded track,” Beyonce said. “I’m very proud of my performance.” Prior to the press conference, Beyonce had not publicly commented on the lipsyncing rumors. One reporter asked if she would be using a pre-recorded track at the Super Bowl. “I’ll absolutely be singing live,” Beyonce said. “This is what I was born to do.” Beyonce avoided any questions concerning a Destiny’s Child reunion with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams or her husband Jay-Z joining her at the halftime show, but added she has a special announcement for the end of the performance that viewers will just have to wait to

hear. She also noted the most difficult part of preparing for the halftime show has been picking out songs from her entire career for the twelveminute performance. There’s a chance the halftime performance could be the largest of Beyonce’s career. Madonna’s halftime performance last year was the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance on record, with an average of 114 million viewers –more viewers than the game itself. Beyonce cannot wait to spend time relaxing and spending time with her daughter after the performance, but the world knows she’ll continue to take the music industry by storm. Next weekend, HBO is set to air “Life Is But A Dream,” directed by Beyonce. The film documents her life, using footage she filmed using in-home equipment. In regards to a question about the movie at the press conference, Beyonce said, “It was time for people to get to know me.” Super Bowl XLVII will air Sunday at 6:30 p.m. on CBS. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

LOS ANGELES (AP)— Lindsay Lohan sued her former collaborators on a clothing line on Thursday, seeking more than $1.1 million and renewed control of the brand’s trademarks. The lawsuit claims a clothing manufacturer who previously worked with Lohan continues to sell items under the actress’ 6126 Collection, which started out as a legging brand and had ambitions to expand into other clothing items. The breach of contract, fraud and trademark infringement lawsuit filed in a Los Angeles federal court seeks royalties and other payments from D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries LLC. The suit claims D.N.A.M. has failed to pay Lohan more than $1 million in royalties and has not abided by an agreement to seek the “Liz & Dick” star’s input on merchandise. D.N.A.M. also agreed to promote and expand the 6126 into swimwear, cosmetics and other apparel and open a showroom in New York, according to the lawsuit. The case asks a judge to order the company to stop using the 6126 name and

trademarks. Lohan named the clothing line after the June 1, 1926, birthdate of her idol, Marilyn Monroe. A phone number for D.N.A.M. Apparel was unanswered on Thursday morning and other attempts to reach the company for comment were unsuccessful. “Lindsay’s very passionate about her apparel line and about designing,” her attorney Perry Wander said. “The purpose of this suit is to wrest control of her trademark away from this company that’s been selling items overseas and online under the 6126 trademark.” He said Lohan is looking forward to designing a new line and will negotiate with a new company to license her trademarks. The actress, who faces possible jail time over charges she lied to police about a car crash, briefly appeared in a criminal court on Wednesday. She has sued several times over alleged misuse of her name and image, including a lawsuit she settled in 2010 against ETrade over a Super Bowl ad that featured babies talking about a “milkaholic” named Lindsay.
