Academy gets students back on track by megan calderado correspondent

To kick off the spring semester, hundreds of students gathered Sunday in the ballroom of the Mountainlair to attend the Mid-Year Academy. During this program, first-year students who were put on academic probation after their first semester are given the opportunity to receive assistance and start fresh. The Mid-Year Academy offers students the chance to meet with academic advisers and student success coaches to identify and assess students’ problems. The Academy began with a video featuring Dr.

Elizabeth Dooley, associate provost for Undergraduate Academic Affairs, student success coaches and a representative from the Department of Financial Aid. “Close your eyes. Think about last semester and about what worked and what absolutely did not work. You have the support of those around you, but you need to commit and believe in yourself. You have a second chance,” Dooley said. The video continued with a representative from the Department of Financial Aid explaining how students should avoid financial aid probation. Students must complete

Campus adds parking improvements By carlee Lammers City Editor

In an effort to make campus parking more convenient for students and visitors, the West Virginia University Department of Transportation and Parking will introduce various new services beginning this semester. The first is the installation of new pay parking meters in the short-term parking lots at the Mountainlair Garage and Short-term Parking Area 9 on

Fine Arts Drive across from the Creative Arts Center. Parking rates will remain the same. Assistant director of Parking Management Eric Rosie said the new meters would be more user-friendly. “The current meters don’t give change and don’t take credit cards. The meters are not customer-friendly with modern times. They don’t take credit cards. Everywhere you go today

67 percent of the hours they attempt per semester. In addition, freshmen must obtain a 1.6 GPA, sophomores a 1.8 and juniors a 2.0. However, students are able to appeal if they feel they cannot reach these expectations because of extraordinary circumstances. After the video, half of the students were escorted out of the ballroom, organized by major, to meet with their academic advisers. The other half stayed and filled out a survey that asked multiple yes-or-no questions about Kristen Basham/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM the students’ academics, Students explore booths set up in the Mountainlair Ballrooms on behalf of the Mid-Year Academy Sunday.

Local driver a future NASCAR star By Evelyn Merithew Staff writer

Travis Braden is by no means an average college freshman. At just the age of 18, Braden, a West Virginia University mechanical engineering student, has been titled both the 2011 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Rookie of the Year and the 2012 ARCA/CRA Super Series Rookie of the Year. Braden was born and raised in Wheeling, W.Va., a town, he said, that does not provide easy access to

racetracks. Braden recalls watching the Daytona 500 race when he was young and being instantly attracted to Jeff Gordon’s car. None of Braden’s family members were involved in racing before he sparked a sudden interest in the sport. “Most people say, ‘I’m sure your family was into racing,’ but it’s not like that. Now that I’m involved, my family is really into it. It’s just what we do; it becomes a way of life,” Braden said. Braden began to race fourwheelers at local fairs when

he was just six years old. As he grew older, his parents didn’t like the idea of him racing the four-wheelers because of how vulnerable he was to injury. “My parents heard of this little go-cart series that I could race near Marietta, Ohio, and I began to participate in that,” he said. Though the experience was just for fun, Braden said he and his family began to realize he had some serious talent. In his second year of racing the go-carts, Braden won every race he competed in except one.

At that point, the Braden family knew it was time for Travis to move up in the racing world. After he turned nine, the family did some research and moved him into Quarter Midget racing, a type of national automobile racing. “Almost every single NASCAR driver’s kid will compete in these races. It’s a really good way to practice and learn how to race. I thought, ‘If I can do good in this, then this is the absolute best I can do at this age,’” Braden said.

Rockefeller will not run for re-election in ‘14 by bryan bumgardner

lengers from both sides of the aisle. “A lot of the Tea Party people have said they don’t support Capito, so she might have a primary challenge from the right,” Berch said. “It’s likely to be a very competitive year in terms of control for the Senate, and West Virginia will be getting a lot of national attention for that.” Rockefeller called his decision “entirely personal.” “Public service demands, and very much deserves, nothing less than every single thing that you have to bring to bear,” Rockefeller told the Associated Press. “And that’s what I have given it. I’ve been driven to make life better for people here. That’s not a slogan for me. It’s the truth, and an obsession.” WVU’s President James P. Clements issued statements affirming WVU’s relationship with Rockefeller. “We appreciate all that he has done and continues to do to advance West Virginia and the nation,” Clements said. “On a personal level, Senator Rockefeller’s kindness, compassion, incredible work ethic and generous spirit have defined his extraordinary life and career in public service, and we are so very thankful for all he has done for our University and the entire state.”

takes credit cards,” he said. “The new meters are easy to use and intuitive. They work in much the same way as a regular meter but deliver improved benefits, such as a range of new payment options.” The meters will accept coins, bills and credit cards and issue receipts that will print the date and time of purchase, as well as the space in which the vehicle is located. Rosie said the new meters will also use a pay-by-space method. “Right now, you could technically receive a citation on your car while you’re in the process of buying a permit,” Rosie said. “With the pay-by-space feature, you will no longer need to print a permit for your dashboard.” Rosie said the new meters will also include a text message parking extension feature. This allows customers to receive parking expiration reminders and add time to their parking session using text (SMS) messages on their mobile phone. This feature is only available to those customers who use a credit

races in Super Late Models throughout the country, like the PASS racing series and ARCA Midwest series. He also wants to race in the ARCA racing series or the NASCAR K&N series. His goal is to accomplish this by the end of 2013. So far, Braden said he has accomplished everything he has set out to do in the racing world. He believes, with some bigger sponsorship, he can do even better. As for his goals as a college student, Braden said he has always known WVU was the right pick for him. “I didn’t want to go far from home, and WVU can offer everything I want. It was a nobrainer to go there. I didn’t even apply anywhere else,” Braden said. Braden said WVU offers a dual major in both mechanical and aerospace engineering, which will benefit him immensely in the racing world. Braden said aerodynamics plays a vital role in modern strategy, and both types of engineers are involved in the NASCAR world because of growing technology. “NASCAR racer Jimmie Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus, is a mechanical engineer and also a perfectionist. That’s why they’ve won five championships,” he said. “I’m a perfectionist, as well, always striving to be the best I can be. Still being involved in racing as a crew chief or mechanical engineer would be great for me,” he said. Braden said his shortcomings and failures are what drive him and inspire him to succeed. “I’m not one of those students who gets a ‘C’ and everything is fine. If I get a ‘C,’ then I want an ‘A’ next time. Whenever I slack a little bit, it wakes me up, and I start focusing again,” Braden said. “Same thing with racing. If I could have done one thing differently, I would have done better or won. “I think about things in advance and practice in my head. Then, I’ve mastered it. I don’t like to make the same mistake twice. Most people would settle with being a 90-percent driver, but I won’t settle until I make that last 10 percent. Like I said, I’m a perfectionist.”

card for their initial permit purchase. Rosie said he was excited to introduce the new pay meters to alleviate frustrations and complaints with the current system. “Right now, the biggest complaint we receive is that the (Mountainlair) garage doesn’t give change. It costs $1.25 to park, you put in your $2, but you get nothing back,” he said. “Now, the meters will give you change. Hopefully, this will cut down on the complaints and the issues in the Mountainlair garage.” Rosie said the goal of the Transportation and Parking Office in installing the new parking meters is to provide the public with a greater range of options and increased convenience when paying for parking. It is envisioned the remaining old pay and display parking meters used in the other short-term lots will be replaced with this new payment technology during the next three to four years, he said. Beginning today, a new short-term lot in the downtown campus will be available for students and visitors. Short-term lot Area 10, located at University Avenue and Falling Run Road,

After 2010, although Braden was used to racing the Pro Division in Legends, he was looking for a different series to run in 2011. “We ran into a guy in January of 2011, and he said he didn’t have a driver for his model and that I could drive it. We had to pay him per race to use it, but I’m still racing under that car today,” Braden said. By the end of 2011, Braden had gained so many points he was named the 2011 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series National Rookie of the Year. At the end of 2011, Braden won a race in the CRA/JEGS in Winchester. “Just from that, a lot of people opened their eyes to me,” he said. “We went to the banquet for that series in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. It was a really high-class event.” In 2012, Braden and his family decided to switch over to the ARCA/CRA super series, in which Super Late Models are raced. “We never did get a win. We were close a lot of times, and multiple times,we qualified in the top three. It’s hard to say whether we would have won or not, but it was a 15race schedule,” Braden said. In that series, Braden got a qualifying track record. He came out in a close fourth to second overall in the championship. And, to finish off the year significantly, Braden received the 2012 ARCA/CRA Super Series Rookie of the Year title. “The ARCA/CRA gave me a free practice run at the ARCA racing series at Daytona to race their cars. I went about 180 miles per hour,” Braden said. This experience, which Braden simply said was “astonishing,” had been one of Braden’s goals since he was just seven years old. Since he was just a child, Braden wanted to be an ARCA racer – even if it was just for practice. “I never thought I’d have the chance to race a Late Model. This was a huge goal of mine. At this point, I set a goal and even though it was iffy I made it happen, so it’s like what should my goals be now?” he said. For Braden, the sky’s the limit. As for his racing goals, Braden said he wants to compete in more well-known

Longtime West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller announced Friday he does not intend to run for re-election in 2014, a move sparking political debate across the state. Rockefeller’s exit gives Republicans a new opportunity to secure his seat in a push for a Republican majority in the 2014 Senate elections. The current forerunner for Rockefeller’s seat is Republican U.S. Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito. In November, Capito announced her intent to run for Senate in 2014. “Combined with the passing of Senator Byrd, this is a loss of tremendous seniority in the congressional delegation,” said Neil Berch, a professor of state and local politics at West Virginia University. “That could be one seat going toward a Republican majority in 2014.” Berch said Rockefeller’s announcement could cause upheaval in West Virginia’s electorate. He said Capito is amply poised to win the election, but she will face obstacles. “She is reasonably positioned,” he said. “She has statewide recognition, and she’s already raising money. It’s going to be a very expensive race.” Capito also must compete against chal-

Pakistan sacks provincial government after attack

Pakistani Shiite Muslims chant slogans during a rally to condemn Thursday’s deadly bombings in Quetta, Islamabad, Sunday. QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistani leaders dismissed the government of southwest Baluchistan province early Monday in response to the demands of protesters angry about an attack on minority Shiite Muslims there that killed 86 people. In another part of the country, a roadside bomb killed 14 Pakistani soldiers. Over the past three days, thousands of Shiites have blocked a main road in the Baluchistan capital of Quetta with dozens of coffins of relatives killed in the twin bombing of a billiards hall in the city Thursday. They demanded the provincial government be dismissed and that the army take over responsibility for the city. Last year was the deadliest ever for Shiites in Pakistan, with over 400 dead in targeted killings. Violence

has been especially intense in Baluchistan, home of the largest number of Shiites in the country. Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf said in a televised address shortly early Monday that the governor has been made head of Baluchistan province, replacing the chief minister. Also, paramilitary forces will receive police powers and launch an operation against militants behind the billiards hall attack. The prime minister flew to Quetta on Sunday after other efforts to pacify the protesters failed. Human rights organizations have accused the Pakistani government of not doing enough to protect Shiites targeted by radical Sunni Muslims who believe they are heretics. The billiards hall attack was carried out by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a sectarian

militant group allied with al-Qaida and the Pakistani Taliban. Taliban militants and their allies have also been waging a bloody insurgency against the Pakistani government over the past several years. A roadside bomb hit a Pakistani army convoy Sunday in a mountainous militant stronghold in the northwest, killing 14 soldiers, one of the deadliest attacks against the army in that sector, intelligence officials said. The North Waziristan tribal area is a major trouble spot that the military has been reluctant to tackle. The remote region is home to Pakistani Taliban and alQaida militants at war with the government. It is also used as a sanctuary by other militants who have focused their attacks in neighboring Afghanistan.

Allies lead pro-Chavez rallies across Venezuela CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Thousands of supporters of Venezuela’s absent, cancer-stricken president held rallies across the nation on Sunday to defend Hugo Chavez’s populist “revolution,” with a top ally alleging that far-right factions were seeking violent instability. The opposition says the government’s indefinite postponement of Chavez’s inauguration, which was to have occurred on Thursday, is unconstitutional and is demanding it lift the veil of secrecy about his medical condition. The successor Chavez himself designated, Vice President Nicolas Maduro, and other members of Venezuela’s ruling inner circle, met Saturday evening in Havana with Raul Castro, Cuba’s leader, during a visit to the island nation where the Venezuelan president remains hospitalized, the nation’s Juventud Rebelde

newspaper reported. Venezuelan authorities have said Chavez continues to fight a severe respiratory infection after undergoing a fourth round of surgery on Dec. 11 for a cancer in the pelvic area first diagnosed on June 8, 2011. Chavez, who was reelected on Oct. 7, hasn’t spoken publicly or been seen since the operation, and the Cuban and Venezuelan governments have refused to offer details of his condition. If he is unable to take office, Venezuela’s constitution says new elections must be called within 30 days. Accompanying Maduro in Saturday’s meeting with Raul Castro were Diosdado Cabello, president of Venezuela’s National Assembly as well as Attorney General Cilia Flores and Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez. Information Minister Ernesto Villegas announced

that Maduro meet with Chavez. “Maduro reports that he gave the president a report about the demonstrations of the people’s support,” Villegas stated on Saturday in a message posted on the Twitter social networking site. Cuba’s official Juventud Rebelde newspaper published a photograph of a smiling Castro with Cabello and Ramirez. In another picture, Castro is seen bidding farewell Saturday to Presidents Cristina Fernandez of Argentina and Ollanta Humala of Peru. If either met with Chavez, it was not reported. Fernandez was also shown in several photographs meeting with Fidel Castro, the former Cuban president and revolutionary icon who has been a father figure for Chavez. The newspaper’s reports did not mention Chavez.

The attack Sunday occurred near Dosalli village in North Waziristan, said Pakistani intelligence officials. The blast destroyed two vehicles and damaged a third, they said. The 14 dead and 20 wounded were brought to a military hospital in the nearby town of Miran Shah, the officials said. Pakistani military officials confirmed the bombing but said four soldiers were killed and 11 others wounded. The discrepancy could not immediately be reconciled. Then officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters. The Pakistani military is worried that if it targets its enemies in North Waziristan, that could trigger a backlash whereby other militants in the area turn against Pakistan. The most

powerful group in the area, the Afghan Haqqani network, is also believed to be seen by the army as a potential ally in Afghanistan after foreign forces withdraw, making a military offensive even more complicated. North Waziristan has been a sore point in relations between Pakistan and the United States. Washington has repeatedly pushed Islamabad to launch an operation in the area, especially against the Haqqani network, considered one of the most dangerous groups fighting in Afghanistan. But Pakistan has refused. North Waziristan has also become an increasing problem for Pakistan. It is the only part of the tribal region where the army has not conducted an offensive, and many Pakistani Taliban militants have fled there to escape army operations. The Taliban and their allies have

staged hundreds of attacks across Pakistan that have killed thousands of people. Also Sunday, a Pakistani cleric and thousands of his supporters left the eastern city of Lahore on a “long march” to demand sweeping election reforms before national elections expected this spring. Police officer Suhail Sukhera estimated the crowd to be at least 15,000. They left for Islamabad in hundreds of buses, cars and trucks. Some waved flags and pictures of the 61-yearold Sunni Muslim cleric, while others shouted, “Revolution is our goal, brave and religious leader Qadri.” Critics of Qadri, who returned last month after years in Canada, are worried he is bent on derailing elections, possibly at the behest of the country’s powerful military – allegations the cleric has denied.

OPINION Welcome back, WVU students 4

Monday January 14, 2013

One month later, West Virginia University welcomes back its student body and faculty for a new semester and a new year. We have all had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the holidays with our friends and family. Now, it is time to get back to work and continue on our path to meeting our educational goals. Regardless of where you stand academically, the new year provides an opportunity for a fresh start, guided by new, positive habits. The Daily Athenaeum staff would like to welcome all of you back and wish you the best of

luck as you embark on this new year. We would also like to share with you some tips that will help make this year your most successful yet. Regulate your sleep According to numerous studies, college students average around six hours of sleep per night. This is only 75 percent of the eight hours recommended by scientists. Thus, it’s no surprise that students often complain of feeling perpetually tired and burned out three weeks into the semester. Set aside a specific time, at least eight hours before

you need to start your next day, and make sure you are in bed by that time each night. Regardless of how busy you are, getting an adequate amount of sleep is integral to your emotional and physical well-being. You can live without that hour or two of Facebook before you go to sleep each night. Exercise As with every new year, millions of people around the world woke up Jan. 1, 2013 with a renewed dedication to getting healthy and spending more time working out. Unfortunately, this resolve to get in shape

usually disintegrates within a month or two, and people generally settle back into their sedentary habits. The benefits of exercising at least three-to-four times a week have been proven by a mountain of scientific evidence. From making us live longer to making us happier, exercise truly is one of the keys to a more fulfilling life. Take advantage of the state-of-the-art exercise facilities we have access to as WVU students to make 2013 the year you meet your fitness goals. Both exercise and healthy sleep habits are critical to our physical

health. However, their benefits extend far beyond our physical health, and impact essentially every facet of our lives. Moreover, establishing a healthy sleep cycle and a regular workout routine help us develop the discipline that is the foundation of our success in all areas of life. If you develop the discipline to sleep at the same time each night and workout at the same times each week, you will have the discipline to study when you need to and fulfill your academic potential.

Vice president’s role maligned by media

Vice President Joe Biden, accompanied by Attorney General Eric Holder, gestures as he speaks during a meeting with Sportsmen and Women and Wildlife Interest Groups and members of his cabinet Thursday.

micah conkling columnist

The White House recently put a “We the People” feature on its website to encourage citizens to petition the Obama administration with their concerns. Since its creation, petition subjects have ranged from attempts to legally recognize Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group to asking the government to build a Death Star – yes, the space station and super weapon from “Star Wars” – by 2016. One of the petitions in progress is asking the White House to “authorize the production of a recurring C-SPAN television program featuring the daily activities and interactions of the vice president.” According to the petition’s creator, “Vice Presi-

dent Joe Biden has a demonstrated ability to bring people together, whether at the negotiating table or at the neighborhood diner. We, therefore, urge the Obama Administration to authorize the production of a recurring C-SPAN television program featuring the daily activities and interactions of the vice president with elected officials, foreign dignitaries and everyday American families.” While such a program might seem trivial and excessive, considering the already growing number of docu-reality shows (I draw the line at “Amish Mafia”), the portrayal of the vice president’s role in government has been handled poorly by cultural producers, specifically in television, and a Biden show might add some life to CSPAN as well as play a pivotal role in reshaping popular opinion about the role

of the VP. Vice presidential depiction has been less than favorable, and the position has been commonly characterized as frivolous and in opposition to the office of the president. In the new ABC show “Scandal,” the vice president is Sally Langston, a woman caricatured by a Southern drawl and commitment to right wing, conservative Christian values in the vein of folks like Pat Robertson. The president (on the show) and Langston have a divisive and uncivil relationship fueled by Langston’s attempt to ramrod herself into the presidency with a devious scheme. Selina Meyer, the fictional vice president played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus in HBO’s acclaimed show “Veep,” is a satirical take on the office of the vice president.

Selina Meyer is, by all accounts, a terrible vice president. She is more concerned with choosing the right type of dog as a pet than doing work inside the White House. The first vice president portrayed in Aaron Sorkin’s beloved “The West Wing” is John Hoynes who, while being a pleasant guy, is treated like a child by the president and eventually resigns amid a sex scandal. Fox’s “24” had way too many vice presidents to even comment on, but let’s just say none of them were pragmatic leaders with charisma. The American government is a complicated amalgam of statutes and term limits that can bewilder the United States public. Frustrations caused by politicians and elected officials compel many to be cynical about the state of affairs in America.

While the role of the media and pop culture can be to critique policymakers, often – for the sake of viewer and readership – cultureshapers select popularity before accuracy. The trend of deeming the vice president as incompetent and in opposition to the president is a damaging drift in TV. I do not know as much as I would like to know about Joe Biden. I do know, however, if something happens to the president, he would take his place. Any harm done to President Obama would be a tragedy, but the line of succession alone should be enough to cause us to devote more attention and respect to the office of the vice president. Is a docu-style reality show that follows around Vice President Biden going to fix American sentiment toward his office? I don’t know. It is quite possible the damage done by

the goofy and obstinate vice presidents of fiction is irreparable. However, in an age in which Americans feel more and more distanced from the people they elect to represent them, a more intimate look at the life of America’s No. 2 might be helpful and reparative. Currently, the petition for a Biden show only has about 2,100 of the threshold goal of 25,000 signatures. Hopefully it gains the White House’s attention anyway. According to the petition, “Such a program would educate the American public about the duties and responsibilities of their vice president while providing a glimpse of the lighthearted side of politics even in the midst of contentious and divisive national debates.” That sounds like something this country could use.

Stalking: Know it, name it and stop it Sgt. Peggy Runyon SGT. kenny main WVU Police DEpartment

The new year causes many people to rethink their health, life, money and career situations. This can bring about a variety of positive changes. One issue that doesn’t seem to take a break is that of stalking. As we have 50 states in the United States, we have 50 different views of how stalking should be handled. Stalking is a crime in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, yet many victims and criminal justice professionals underestimate its seriousness and impact.

In one of every five cases, stalkers use weapons to harm or threaten victims, and stalking is one of the significant risk factors for femicide (homicide of women) in abusive relationships. Victims suffer anxiety, social dysfunction and severe depression at much higher rates than the general population, and many lose time from work or have to move as a result of their victimization. A high percentage of stalking is experienced in the 18-24 age group, a perfect fit of the campus population. Stalking is difficult to recognize, investigate and prosecute. Unlike other crimes, stalking is not a single, easily identifiable

crime but a series of acts, a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause that person fear. Stalking may take many forms, such as assaults, threats, vandalism, burglary or animal abuse, as well as unwanted cards, calls, gifts or visits. Unfortunately, the same internet service that assists us in our daily lives can also be used to teach someone how to stalk another person. One in every four victims reports that the stalker uses technology, such as computers, global positioning system devices, or hidden cameras, to track the victim’s daily activities. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping your personal in-

formation such as address, phone numbers and birthdays off social networking sites. Seventy-eight percent of stalkers use more than one means of stalking. Two thirds of stalkers pursue their victims at least once a week, many daily. A person doesn’t have to be known to their stalker; however, some domestic issues carry over after the ending of an intimate relationship. Stalkers fit no standard psychological profile, and many stalkers follow their victims from one jurisdiction to another, making it difficult for authorities to investigate and prosecute their crimes. Stalking can affect a victim’s emotional, physical and economic well-being.

Behaviors that may seem benign to you and me may be terrorizing to a stalking victim. Victims of stalking are encouraged to report incidents to the police. Police will encourage victims to keep a log of all the stalking behavior including any e-mails, text messages, notes left on vehicles or apartment doors and phone messages. Most local departments have stalking kits to distribute to victims. These kits include a log book and ink pen, a disposable camera, disposable gloves, pepper spray, flashlight, whistle and extra batteries. Additionally, the West Virginia University Police offer P.R.O.T.E.C.T. a free self-defense class for fe-

males that can give them the physical skills and the mindset to defend themselves. Everyone should be able to experience college without fear or limitations. Stalking: Know it. Name it. Stop it.

FEATURE OF THE DAY

DAILY HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year many opportunities appear; however, with them come many reasons not to take advantage of them. If you want the end results, trust yourself and the path you must take. You will hop over several obstacles; you will get there. If you are single, come summer 2013, your love life will become very lively. You will either have a ball dating, or you’ll find yourself in a meaningful relationship. If you are attached, the two of you need to plan several getaways together in order to stoke the embers of romance. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Your dreams will be inspirational, and they could set you on a path of soul searching. As a result, you’ll be calm and centered. Others approach you with a willingness to share and be more vulnerable. You might rethink your impression of an associate. Tonight: Do your thing. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Zero in on what is important to you. Your perspective about a cohort could be transforming, as you open up to each other more and more. Still, this person might be withdrawn. Curb a tendency to be excessive. Tonight: Where your friends are. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Your take-charge attitude might emerge. Tap into your creativity, and manifest much more of what you want. Let someone be a little more involved with your decision-making process. Transform a difficult situation into a shared experience. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance whom you trust, and who often provides diverse and sometimes opposing viewpoints. A child might act closed off. This attitude could be necessary, as he or she seems to be going through a phase. Tonight: Feed your mind. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Deal with a partner or associate directly. This person might be unusually plugged into his or her imagination. It could be difficult to communicate at times. Try a very anchored and solid approach, and he or she will respond. Tonight: Go with someone’s suggestion.

stories in all of musical theater. The 1950s gang-based reimagining of Romeo and Juliet, with Leonard Bernsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic soundtrack, is an iconic part of musical theater history. The show, which focuses on the racial and territorial conflicts between the white, New York native â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jetsâ&#x20AC;? gang and the Puerto Rican â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sharks,â&#x20AC;? follows the forbidden love between Tony, a former member of the Jets, and Maria, the younger, overprotected sister of the Sharksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leader, Bernardo. This production was absolutely thrilling. From the first moments of the gangfighting ballet that opens the show, it was clear the cast was going to be exceptional. Every single member of this ensemble was absolutely wonderful. The Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; girls, roles that can easily become background noise, were standouts in this production. I really canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about the dancing in this show. Anita, played by Michelle Alves, a native

Puerto Rican herself, was as beautiful and sassy a dancer as she was a singer, and the classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americaâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which shows the Puerto Rican girls celebrating their new lives in the United States, away from the crowding and violence of San Juan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; became a huge high point in the performance. Even the darker, more dramatic moments were exciting. As the scenery shifted to the underside of an overpass, where a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rumbleâ&#x20AC;? between the two gangs is about to occur, the ominous lighting behind a fence-like screen on the front of the stage told the audience they were in for more than a fist fight. The fist fight becomes a knife fight, and through a series of accidents Bernardo and Riff, the Jetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leader, are both killed. The choreography in this scene was just incredible. Despite being entirely dance, the scene felt like a real fight between two rivals. The one disappointment was Tony, played by Addi-

son Reid Coe. Coe is a wonderful actor and he possesses a lovely voice, but he seemed miscast in the role of Tony. His vocal range simply wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t well-suited to the high belt of songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maria,â&#x20AC;? a key moment of the show that just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the strength Bernsteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score invites. However, MaryJoanna Grisso shone as Maria. She appeared onstage to a sound of thunderous applause from her hometown audience. A Morgantown native, Grisso was extremely well-received in her return to Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre. Grissoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice was sweet and beautiful as it filled the theatre on songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhereâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight.â&#x20AC;? Her lyric soprano is extremely comforting, and it lends itself perfectly to the role of Maria, a young Puerto Rican girl who is innocently looking for a new start in America. Just as in Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Juliet,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Side Storyâ&#x20AC;? ends tragically. This was Grissoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, remarkable mo-

ment, playing a Maria who has lost her love and her innocence to the violence between the gangs. Grisso transitioned flawlessly through this shift, and the performance ended with much of the audience, myself included, in tears. This tour is far from finished, and it will continue into June. I highly recommend seeing a production if the opportunity presents itself. This show is a real treat for musical theater lovers and newcomers alike. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘This is 40’ provides laughs despite slow storyline

drafthouse.com

Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann star in Judd Apatow’s latest comedy, ‘This is 40.’

Lacey Palmer associate A&E editor

Although the title sounds as if the movie was made solely for adults, Judd Apatow’s “This Is 40” captures the relatable ups and downs of everyday life for any age group. Released in theaters Dec. 21, “This Is 40” takes an in-depth look at the lives of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) – parents of two girls: eight-year-old Charlotte (Iris Apatow) and 13-yearold Sadie (Maude Apatow) – as they approach the milestone age of 40 and deal with the day-to-day life of the average American family.

Rated “R” due to sexual content, crude humor, pervasive language and some drug use, “This Is 40” is an unfiltered, comedic look into the future for college students and provides them with a humorous escape for its 134-minute duration. The film is somewhat of a sequel to Apatow’s “Knocked Up,” which features Ben (Seth Rogen) and Alison (Katherine Heigl) and details their experience with a one-nightstand gone wrong. In “Knocked Up,” Ben and Alison are the main characters, while Pete and Debbie provide supporting roles. Although Ben and Alison do not make appearances in “This Is 40,” a picture of Alison can be seen on the wall, and Pete

mentions receiving marijuana cookies from Ben. Throughout the movie, Pete and Debbie face many issues the typical married American family faces. After finally going out on his own to follow his dreams, Pete becomes the owner of a private record label. When Pete and Debbie can no longer afford the house, Pete realizes his record label may not last. Debbie struggles to maintain her sanity throughout the movie, facing the pressures of owning her own clothing store in which money continues to go missing and taking care of two daughters who are quickly maturing. Debbie also faces different issues with her father throughout the movie,

which helps her learn the true meaning of family. The final tribulation Pete and Debbie face together in the movie has the potential to ruin their marriage and change their lives dramatically. The most enjoyable part of the film is the amount of sheer fun Pete and Debbie have together. The time they spend provides the most laughs from their hilarious, seemingly pointless arguments to the time they finally have a night alone and share a marijuana cookie. Although they may disagree and argue at times, it’s obvious this couple possesses a strong friendship, and this provides the light feeling of the movie. As Apatow’s fourth comedic release, “This Is 40”

won the Comedy of the Year award in 2012 at the Hollywood Film Festival. Apatow’s two daughters, Maude and Iris Apatow, are also featured in the movie in the roles of Pete and Debbie’s children. As a viewer, this makes one think that Apatow may have adapted this movie according to his own life, as he is also in his 40s. Aside from Rudd and Mann, an outstanding team of actors and actresses is featured in this movie, including Megan Fox, Jason Segel, Melissa McCarthy, Graham Parker, Lena Dunham, Annie Mumolo, Robert Smigel, Charlyne Yi, Lisa Darr, John Lithgow and Albert Brooks. Although the film may leave you feeling a bit

hopeless about the troubles that you may face in life, it will remind viewers that they are not alone in these struggles. This movie further enforces the notion that dysfunctional may be the new normal, and the moments the family spends having fun and laughing together end the movie satisfyingly, leaving you rooting for them to keep pushing on. Aside from a slow start and a somewhat sudden ending, this movie is the perfect comic relief after a tiresome week of getting back into the swing of classes.

‘Zero Dark Thirty’ captures No. 1 at box office, tops ‘A Haunted House,’ ‘Gangster Squad’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Zero Dark Thirty” hunted down the top spot at the box office – and easily won it. Sony Pictures’ controversial Osama bin Laden raid drama nabbed first place

tions last week, including best picture, original screenplay and actress for Jessica Chastain as a dogged CIA operative. Open Road Films’ horror parody “A Haunted House” starring Marlon Wayans debuted in second place with a solid $18.8 million. The Warner Bros. mobster drama “Gangster Squad,” starring Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling as off-the-books police officers battling a mob boss played by Sean Penn, opened below expectations in third place with $16.7 million. After earning Oscar nominations last week, several Academy Awards contenders benefited at the box office. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences moved up the unveiling of the Oscar nominations to Thursday, three days ahead of Sunday’s Golden Globes, Hollywood’s second-biggest

Several lawmakers accused the CIA of misleading “Zero Dark Thirty” filmmakers by allegedly telling them such interrogation methods helped track down terrorist mastermind bin Laden in 2011. “There are so many facets of `Zero Dark Thirty’ that have created interest in it,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution at Sony. “Ultimately, it’s a great film.

similarly attracted controversy last year after the mass shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater left 12 dead. Warner Bros. pulled the movie’s trailer and delayed the release out of sensitivity because the film originally featured a scene with mobsters ruthlessly shooting into a movie theater audience. The entire sequence featuring Brolin’s character being ambushed inside famed Hollywood movie palace Grauman’s Chinese Theater was removed from “Gangster Squad” and replaced with a new scene, which cost millions of dollars to reshoot, set in Los Angeles’ Chinatown neighborhood. The rest of the film’s many bullet-ridden Tommy gun battles remained intact. “There’s nothing that indicates violence was an issue,” said Jeff Goldstein, general sales manager at Warner Bros. “I don’t think that’s the case here. The exit polling tells us that people liked what they saw in `Gangster Squad.’ I think we’ll have a nice hold going into the holiday weekend where people will be more available and have more leisure time.” Internationally, “Life of Pi” dominated in 68 territories with $35.8 million, bringing its worldwide total to $452.1 million. “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” followed closely behind with $35.1 million in 62 territories. The worldwide total for the first “Hobbit” chapter is now $886.1 million. “Les Mis” earned $35.6 million in 23 territories, giving it a $234.3 million worldwide total. Overall business in North America this weekend came in at $142 million, up more than 7 percent from the same period last year, when the Mark Wahlberg thriller “Contraband” led the box office with $24.3 million, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. It marks the third weekend in a row for Hollywood when business has been up over last year.

Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’ approaches perfection

Leonardo DiCaprio performs as slave owner Calvin Candie in Quentin Tarantino’s latest work, ‘Django Unchained.’ chained,” adds to the director’s history of jawlaura ciarolla dropping, awe-inspiring, ultra-violent films, and his a&e writer formula works just as well as it has in the past. The performances given Quentin Tarantino’s lat- by Christoph Waltz (“Inest opus, “Django Un- glorious Basterds”) and Ja-

mie Foxx (“Ray”) are impressive, and Leonardo DiCaprio (“Inception,” “Titanic”) and Samuel L. Jackson (“Pulp Fiction,” “The Avengers”) are almost unrecognizable in their roles. “Django Unchained” follows the journey of Django, a freed slave turned bounty hunter, as he attempts to find and rescue his wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington, “Scandal”), who was separated from him years ago. What sets this movie apart from much of Tarantino’s previous work is that it is a love story. It is presented as a modern retelling of a classic German fairy tale, and Django’s quest for love, as well as the name of his wife, mirrors the character Siegfried in this original work. Although Tarantino adds the violence and reality of the tale in a modern situation, Django’s quest for love remains the heart of the story. Jamie Foxx was a wonderful surprise as the lead character, Django. Tarantino’s film brought out the best in his acting abilities, and he was a perfect choice

for the role. Christoph Waltz’s performance was, by far, the best part of the movie, though; he and Tarantino are astounding when they work together. It was nice to see Waltz as a champion of the film, compared to his last Tarantino performance in “Inglorious Basterds,” and audiences will certainly side with his character’s honest brutality against the immorality of the era. The film was released Christmas day to eager audiences, although it received a lot of criticism for its content, most notably its excessive use of the N-word. Tarantino rejected the criticism as unfounded, and the director defended his script’s historical accuracy. “Personally, I find (the criticism) ridiculous,” Tarantino said in an interview with Henry Louis Gates Jr. for TheRoot.com. “Because it would be one thing if people are out there saying, ‘You use it much more excessively in this movie than it was used in 1858 in Mississippi.’ Well, nobody’s saying that, and if you’re not saying that, you’re sim-

ply saying I should be lying. I should be watering it down. I should be making it more easy to digest. “I want it to be a big, gigantic boulder – a jagged pill, and you have no water,” Tarantino said. Rotten Tomatoes currently has the movie ranked at 89 percent on the tomatometer and a 94 percent audience approval rating, showing the majority of the public understands his approach. Amid the violence and harsh language in this film, there is also more humor than Tarantino’s movies usually display. Perhaps this was a way to diffuse the tension of the historically rooted content, but regardless of the reason, it works well within the movie. Even though I love the drama and violence Tarantino usually features, the humor placed throughout the film worked to ease the tension. One of my favorite – and I expect many audiences’ favorite – scenes features a cameo by Jonah Hill (“Superbad,” “21 Jump Street”). The entire scene seems to be placed in the movie

for comedic relief, and it comes at a welcome time. Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie to any fan of Tarantino’s work. Unfamiliar audiences, however, should enter the experience prepared for an excess of violence and harsh content. That said, the experience of the film is worth the risk. So even if you haven’t seen any of his other films, give this one a try. It’s a little different, and it offers something for a wide range of viewers (as long as you can handle the gore).

Famed dance troupe to perform at CAC by hunter homistek a&e editor

Critically acclaimed dance troupe Pilobolus will perform at West Virginia University’s Creative Arts Center Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. The group’s pieces are heavily rooted in physical interactions and contortions of the human form, and each performance yields interesting and captivating elements for audiences of all backgrounds. “There’s usually some kind of story we base off of for each individual piece,” said Pilobolus dancer Benjamin Coalter. “Each is completely different from one to the next, so somebody can relate to each individual piece.” Coalter said while some people may not typically find themselves inclined to attend a dance performance, Pilobolus is unlike traditional dance, and the result is an electrifying and entertaining show. “We’re throwing each other everywhere; we’re jumping around. It’s very sportsy,” Coalter said. “It will grab your attention, and you’ll want more.” This brand of unconventional dance was formed in 1971 at Dartmouth College by a group of dancers without extensive formal training. Because of their lack of strict guidelines, the resulting product was an entirely new and fresh introduction into the world of dance. This immediately captivated audiences, and the group has amassed a significant following since that time. “We have fans from the ‘70s, and they just keep coming back,” said Jun Kuribayashi, the communications liaison for Pilobolus. “We always bring something a little bit different, and we’re always creating new pieces. It’s a show for everybody.” In addition to the dances, Pilobolus features rhythmical stylings designed specifically

Acrobatic dance troupe Pilobolus will perform at WVU’s Creative Arts Center Tuesday. to accommodate each piece. “This show has Primus and Squarepusher, so you can get a feel for what to expect,” Coalter said. “You can bring your kids, you can bring your dad, you can bring your date; it’s definitely entertaining.” Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the group’s work is the diversity of its performance. Pilobolus refuses to bind itself to a single genre, and the work is incredibly differentiated as a result. “One piece may be very in-your-face, and another might be very intimate,” Coalter said. “I find that this company is based on exploration, and what an audience member finds interesting is they find a way to relate with exactly what is going on.” To accomplish such a varied premise for a show the members are wholeheart-

edly devoted to their craft, and this dedication shows in its finished product. “Pilobolus is a showcase of artists embracing their craft to the fullest,” said David Ryan, WVU Arts & Entertainment public relations specialist. “These dancers find inspiration in everything and create terrific dances that audiences have never seen before.” Adding to the exclusivity of a Pilobolus show, the group relies solely on the movements and actions of its members to accomplish its set. There are no stage props and no theme-driven costumes for the dancers to hide behind. The set is instead formed through movement. “The show is very intimate,” Ryan said. “While other dance shows may bom-

bard you with costumes and set pieces, Pilobolus is about the movement and the dancers coming together with the audience to create that.” Because of these elements, Pilobolus is truly unlike any other show on earth. Even within the dance genre, Pilobolus stands as a wholly unique act, and audiences will be treated to a slice of this artistic mastery Tuesday night at the Creative Arts Center. Tickets for the show can be purchased at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box office locations or by phone at 304-293-SHOW. Pricing starts at $40 for non-students and $28 for students with a valid WVU ID. hunter.homistek@mail.wvu.edu

Disappointing end to a disappointing season The final snowflakes fell to the ground, and the muddy and disappointed white-uniformed Mountaineers slowly paced to the locker room one final time in 2012. Yankee Stadium’s scoreboard read yet another one-sided affair not in West Virginia’s favor. But this wasn’t another outing in which the Mountaineers were out-matched by the heavy weights of the perennial Big 12 Conference. This was completely different. These were the guys WVU left in the rearview mirror as it headed for greener pastures when it changed conferences in July. These were the guys the Mountaineers didn’t think, but knew, they were better than – Big East Conference members. The Syracuse Orange whipped West Virginia 38-16 in the 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowl, putting the final nail in the disappointing 2012 season coffin. The trio of Mountaineers – Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey – ended their impressive careers in a West Virginia uniform with an another solid performance. But much like the Mountaineers’ problem all season, the three couldn’t find much help. The 2012 edition of the West Virginia football team began with arguably the program’s most impressive win – a 70-33 drumming of Clemson in the Orange Bowl. The eye-opening victory led to many naming the Mountaineers the preseason favorite in their inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference. Five straight victories to start the season, including a 48-45 win in Austin against the nationally ranked Longhorns, propelled second-year head coach Dana Holgorsen’s bunch into the top five. No one expected what followed. Five consecutive losses, the longest in the program since the late 1980s. The Mountaineers struggled to keep some of the games close, such as a 49-14 loss on the road to Texas Tech and a 55-14 blowout loss at home to Kansas State. The Mountaineers lost tough games to TCU and Oklahoma before rebounding to win their final two games and secure their 11thstraight appearance in a bowl game. The bowl game appeared an ideal platform for West Virginia to earn its eighth win and end the forgettable season on a positive note. But the Orange was able to do what WVU opponents had done since about midOctober: expose an inexperienced defense and sit back in a deep zone coverage and forcing the Mountaineer offense to make tough throws and methodically work the ball up the field. It was an equation the West Virginia team and coaching staff couldn’t solve all season. The roller-coaster ride of 2012 required more than a seat belt and one those straps that lower down over your shoulders. The high expectations and the most disappointing season in nearly 10 years in Morgantown left a bad taste in the mouths of West Virginia fans everywhere. Their beloved Mountaineers went from National Championship contenders led by three potential Heisman trophy candidates to a 7-6 football team who was blown out by a Big East team in the Pinstripe Bowl. The consistent 10-2 and 9-3 seasons in the Big East Conference can’t be expected anymore. Nine of the 10 members of the Big 12 went to a bowl game this season, making West Virginia a small fish in a big pond. What will the 2013 chapter reveal? nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Syracuse cruises to 38-14 Pinstripe Bowl victory against West Virginia by cody schuler managing editor

By way of two safeties, perfect thirddown defense and a pulverizing rushing attack, Syracuse earned its third-consecutive victory against West Virginia, thrashing the Mountaineers 38-14 in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. A wintry mix of snow and sleet blanketed Yankee Stadium, and the storybook ending West Virginia fans hoped would meet 21 departing seniors was erased as Syracuse achieved victory in convincing fashion. The Mountaineers converted on none of their 11 third-down tries and were outscored 23-7 in the third quarter – a stretch that sucked the life from West Virginia and all but sealed a Syracuse victory. Syracuse junior running back PrinceTyson Gulley was named the Pinstripe Bowl MVP after gaining 208 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries – the first player in 11 years to rush for more than 200 yards against West Virginia. Gulley also added 50 yards receiving and a touchdown on five receptions. Fellow junior running back Jerome

Smith carried 29 times for 158 yards, and senior quarterback Ryan Nassib completed 12-of-24 passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns. West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said his team’s inability to counter the Syracuse rushing attack ultimately led to the Mountaineers’ demise. “Any time you get outrushed by 300 yards, you’re going to have some problems,” he said. “The team with the best run game was going to win, and they clearly have a better running game.” It took until the 2:28 mark in the second quarter before the Mountaineers found the scoreboard when a 32-yard screen pass from senior quarterback Geno Smith to redshirt junior wide receiver Stedman Bailey cut into the Orange lead and made it 12-7 heading into halftime. Consecutive Syracuse touchdowns pushed the score to 26-7, but West Virginia answered again via a Bailey touchdown reception and trailed 26-14 with 5:41 remaining in the third quarter.

WVU falls short in 65-64 loss to No. 18 K-State by nick arthur

associate sports editor

Close games have become a common occurrence for the West Virginia men’s basketball team. Fresh off of an overtime road victory against Texas, West Virginia trailed No. 18 Kansas State 65-64 with less than 10 seconds to play. “(We tried to) run the play we ran for Da’Sean (Butler) when he made five gamewinning shots,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “I don’t know (what happened). I’ll have to look at the tape. I just know we didn’t get it.” The Wildcats were able to deflect the attempted inbounds pass and force the Mountaineers to scramble for a last-second attempt by Gary Browne, which fell short, giving Kansas State (13-2, 2-0) a 65-64 victory against West Virginia (8-7, 1-2) in front of 10,039 fans at the Coliseum Saturday night. “I thought we competed,

for the most part. The problem is we don’t do it for a consistent period of time,” Huggins said. “Overall, I think we did.” Sophomore guard Jabarie Hinds led the Mountaineers with 15 points of 6-of-10 shooting, while junior center Aaric Murray and freshman guard Terry Henderson scored 11 and 10 points, respectively. “It was a physical game,” Hinds said. “Everybody wanted it. But unfortunately, we came out a little bit short at the end.” Kansas State was in foul trouble throughout the game, but 17 points from Shane Southwell and Rodney McGruder were enough to push them over the top. “I don’t make excuses,” Huggins said. “We started two sophomores and a freshman on the perimeter. Our first sub off the bench was a freshman. We make some mistakes because we’re young.” The normal starting point guard, sophomore Juwan

Staten, who didn’t play the second half against Texas, didn’t see the floor against the Wildcats. “He’s going to get on the same page as me, or he’s not going to play anymore,” Huggins said. West Virginia’s telling stat was shooting 54 percent from the free-throw line, going 12-for-22. “It’s a matter of us just staying focused,” said senior forward Dominique Rutledge. “If we play the whole 40 minutes, we can beat anybody in the country.” The Mountaineers have lost two of their first three conference games to begin the season and will now travel to the Midwest for road games against Iowa State and Purdue. “We played hard. We probably had every chance to win,” Huggins said. “And, honestly, we’re not getting out of some people what we need to get out of them.” nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Uncertain future ahead for WVU offense by michael carvelli sports editor

When the West Virginia football team exited the field following its 3814 loss to Syracuse in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, it marked the end of the careers of 21 Mountaineer seniors. The three most notable names on that list were senior quarterback Geno Smith, inside receiver Tavon Austin and redshirt junior receiver Stedman Bailey. Throughout their time in Morgantown, the electrifying trio of playmakers rewrote the WVU record books, setting nearly every single-season and career record possible in their respective positions. While many wonder what’s next to come for the three players as they prepare to move on to the next level and prepare for successful careers in the NFL, the Mountaineer coaching staff is left with the daunt-

ing task of replacing three of the most productive players in school history. “You have competitions, and the best people get to play,” said WVU offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. “That question has been asked numerous times through all of our careers; this isn’t the first time we’ve had a great quarterback and lost him. There have been a lot of receivers in this offense that are still playing in the NFL. “Those schools had to move on at some point, and guess what happens when they move on? Someone else has to step up and become a playmaker.” Now, the question turns to who will take the reins of the Mountaineer offense in a season. At quarterback, head coach Dana Holgorsen can turn to two-year backup Paul Millard or freshman Ford Childress after WVU also loses its top three pass catchers. “We’ve got a couple of

young guys who appear to have what it takes,” Smith said. “But it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of dedication and effort. “I’m anxious to see it just as much as you all are.” It was that hard work and dedication Dawson said made Smith, Bailey and Austin stand out and excel the way they did in their Mountaineer careers. “They didn’t have any prima donna or that ‘I’m not going to work hard today’ type of attitude. If our younger guys can grab hold of that, they’ll be fine,” Dawson said. But in order to carry themselves as playmakers, they will have to actually go out and make the plays. That’s where the major attitude adjustment will have to come for a lot of the young Mountaineers in 2013. “ We’v e g o t s o m e younger guys, unfortunately, who think they’ve caught 100 balls a year,” Dawson said. “I have to

keep reminding them that they’ve caught two and to quit acting like that. (Next year), there’s going to be a reality that sets in.” Bailey is confident inexperienced receivers like K.J. Myers, Devonte Mathis and Devonte Robinson – among a few others – can step up and fill the void left by Austin and himself. “It’s a big void to fill, but we’ve got some good guys behind us that got a chance to sit out and learn from me and Tavon,” he said. “Everybody has to come out and prove that you can be a playmaker in this offense. “I figured out early on in that first year with Coach Holgorsen that it could be a pretty good deal for me. This is a pass-happy offense, and if you have a great quarterback and some great teammates around you, like I have with Tavon, you can make some great things happen.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers lose again despite best effort of the season by michael carvelli sports editor

After showing signs of change in its overtime victory against Texas earlier in the week, the West Virginia men’s basketball team knew it had the chance to turn things around when No. 18 Kansas State came to Morgantown Saturday afternoon. A different team took the court when the Mountaineers were last at home, and they suffered a crushing loss to Oklahoma after blowing a 12-point lead in the second half. This was a team that played hard for 40 minutes, with more energy and effort than it had all season. “We’re just realizing that

effort is a big part of us winning,” said freshman guard Eron Harris. “It’s not making shots or turnovers; it’s the effort. That’s something we can control, so we need to give it 100 percent all the time.” When Gary Browne’s lastsecond shot was blocked by Kansas State’s Shane Southwell to end the game, it made it an even tougher loss for the Mountaineers to swallow. “We played hard, and I thought we had every chance to win,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “Sometimes, you screw up – We’re just trying to do the right thing.” Even though they lost, West Virginia is taking a lot of positives from the game.

To go against a team playing as well the nationally ranked Wildcats and see things start to come together the way they did in the Coliseum is something the team knows it can use to continue building confidence heading into the heart of Big 12 Conference play. “Looking at that as a ranked team and how we really think we should’ve won that game – and all it came down to was a stupid foul – it shows us that we can beat those ranked teams,” Harris said. “We are really a good team that could be ranked if we put things together. We just need to be consistent like those ranked teams are.” After struggling in the early portion of the season by blowing leads and let-

ting inferior teams maintain contention, it wasn’t tough for West Virginia to realize it was time for a change in its attitude. “The most important thing is to win. It’s something that we need,” said sophomore Jabarie Hinds. “We need to get wins. “(We’re) playing harder, competing, and we’re just finding a way to make good things happen.” Players like Hinds are starting to become more comfortable with their roles on this year’s team, and it’s starting to show. Hinds, who fulfilled point guard duties for the majority of the game with starter Juwan Staten on the bench, played arguably his best game of the season, scoring 15 points with three assists on 6-of-10 shooting.

Rutledge and Kevin Noreen took advantage of their second-straight starts by stuffing the stat sheet and doing little things to help keep the Mountaineers in the game. But even in what many players called the best game WVU had played this season, they couldn’t come away with the win. And, like most people would be in that situation, the Mountaineers were disappointed. “We set high expectations for ourselves,” Rutledge said. “We came in expecting to blow them out, really. We know they’re a tough team, but we felt like we should have won that game.” Huggins pointed out after the game although there were plenty of positives, his 8-7 Mountaineers still have a lot of work to do. “I thought we competed,

for the most part. The problem is we don’t do it for a consistent period of time,” Huggins said. “Did all nine guys who played compete? Absolutely not, (but) most of them did. Moving forward, they know they have plenty to build on, but the Mountaineers just have to find a way not to let this loss haunt them and lead to more losses further down the road in Big 12 play when the Mountaineers are once again faced with the adversity of a close game. “It all comes down to us knowing what we all have to do to help us as a team and get back on track,” Hinds said. “This hurts. It’s tough, but there’s nothing we can do about it now but get back to work and get better.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

WVU downs K-State for second-straight Big 12 win by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia women’s basketball team continued its consistency against Kansas State Saturday afternoon. The Mountaineers, fresh off their first conference win against Texas, looked for their second-straight win following two tough losses to Oklahoma and Kansas in early conference play. West Virginia (10-5, 2-2) went on to defeat the Wildcats 66-52 in Manhattan, Kan., after junior Christal Caldwell scored 19 points to lead a 15-2 run to close out the game. With 8:34 remaining, senior center Ayana Dunning hit a jumper to give patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum the Mountaineers a 47-45 Junior guard Christal Caldwell’s 19 points led the West Virginia women’s basket- lead. WVU never looked ball team to a 66-52 victory against Kansas State Saturday. back, and a layup from

sophomore forward Averee Fields, 8 points from Caldwell and 5 more from Dunning sealed a 15-2 run and a WVU win. The run sparked the Mountaineers and gave the Wildcats trouble in eliminating a double-digit lead. “Give Kansas State credit,” said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “We started slow and missed a lot of easy shots in the first eight minutes of the game, and the second half we got Dunning going, and it kind of opened up everything. “We did a better job in the second half on their shooters. Once we started taking that away a little, it really helped us.” After trailing 23-22 at the half, West Virginia went back to its strong defensive ways to get some easy tran-

sition points. “In the second half, we started doing what we were supposed to be doing defensively,” Carey said. “They missed some easy threes that could have easily gone, but I think we rebounded and attacked. We got some easy shots.” WVU struggled with shooting in the first half with a 26.7 percent but improved drastically in the second half with a 53.3 percent from the field. The Mountaineers shot 40 percent on the afternoon (24of-60). Kansas State also shot 40 percent but only went 7-of-22 from behind the arc. The Mountaineers really helped themselves at the charity stripe, as they shot a season-best 86.7 percent (13-of-15). West Virginia also outrebounded K-State 41-26. Caldwell

almost had a double-double with a tallied nine boards. WVU forced 22 Kansas State turnovers, while only committing 18. It also earned 10 steals through constant defensive pressure. Dunning scored 1 4 p o i nt s f o r t h e Mountaineers, and junior guard Taylor Palmer added nine. The Wildcats’ leader was Brittany Chambers, who scored 20 points and had six rebounds. Brianna Craig added 12, and Haley Texada pitched in 10 points. West Virginia will return home Tuesday to face the TCU Horned Frogs. Tip off is set for 7 p.m. at the West Virgnia Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Holgorsen to add three to Mountaineer coaching staff by greg madia multimedia editor

West Virginia head football coach Dana Holgorsen will add Lonnie Galloway to his offensive staff for the 2013 season, according to Mike Casazza of the Charleston Daily Mail. Galloway is expected to become WVU’s wide receivers coach after returning to Morgantown after two seasons at Wake Forest, and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson will become quarterbacks coach. Dawson fills the void Jake Spavital left after departing for Texas A&M. Galloway was WVU’s wide receivers coach with Bill Stewart and is a notorious recruiter responsible for bringing both Tavon Austin and Bruce Irvin to Morgantown. As for the defensive staff, Tony Gibson – a longtime Rich Rodriguez assistant at WVU (2001-07), Michigan (2008-10) and Arizona (2012) – was hired by Holgorsen to step in on the defensive staff, according to multiple reports. Gibson file photo served as the secondary in Head coach Dana Holgorsen will add three coaches to the West Virginia foot- all his years with Rodriguez. ball staff. He spent 2011 at Pitt with

current WVU defensive coordinator Keith Patterson. Finally, Brian Mitchell is the last piece in this coaching puzzle. The former East Carolina defensive coordinator implemented the 3-4 defense at ECU.

The West Virginia gymnastics team beat Pittsburgh Friday.

by meghan carr

sports correspondent

The West Virginia gymnastics team made history in its 2013 season opener against Pittsburgh at Fitzgerald Field House Friday night. The Mountaineers had their highest season-opening score on the road (194.675-193.55) against a familiar foe and longtime rival. This was the 67th-overall meeting between the two teams but their first time meeting as non-conference rivals since 1996. The Mountaineers (1-0) defeated the Panthers (0-1), winning the vault (48.92548.15), beam (48.1547.675) and floor (49.02548.975). Pittsburgh took the bars event (48.75-48.575). The Mountaineers are now 2-1 with head coach Jason Butts when opening their season on the road The last time the Moun-

taineers entered Fitzgerald Field House, they captured their seventh EAGL Championship while Pittsburgh finished fifth overall. Former EAGL members are now in a brand new conference and ranked for the first time coming into a season since 2010. The Big 12 members were grateful for a familiar setting as they opened their 2013 season on the road. “It really feels like the season never ended, especially because we’re opening at Fitzgerald Field House,” Butts said. “The team feels really comfortable competing at Pitt and is excited to get out there on the equipment.” The Mountaineers took the lead on their first event, scoring 48.575 on bars to Pittsburgh’s 48.15 on vault. Junior Erica Smith and freshman Jaida Lawrence each attained 9.775, the Mountaineers’ highest score for the bars event.

WVU continued its success earning a 48.925 on the vault, giving the Mountaineers a 97.5 team total after two events, with Pittsburgh trailing at 96.9 after earning a meet-best 48.75 on bars. Junior Hope Sloanhoffer, 2012 EAGL Gymnast of the Year and all-around vault and bars champion, tied senior Alaska Richardson with 9.825 on the vault. Senior Chelsea Goldschrafe tied Pittsburgh freshman Lisa Soto for second place with a 9.8. Senior Kaylyn Millick earned a meet-best 9.775 score on the beam, while Goldschrafe and sophomore Lia Salzano finished third with identical scores of 9.65. The Mountaineers finished the meet on a high note, winning the floor event with the animated senior Richardson leading the way by obtaining a 9.9 and finishing with a threeway tie for first place.

Sloanhoffer finished second in all-around performance with 38.475, and Millick came in third place with 38.325. Although Butts noticed a few mistakes, he was pleased with his team’s performance. “We had a few mental mistakes on beam, but we can fix those,” he said. “We finished with a good hit percentage tonight, and we can take this momentum with us on the road throughout January.” The Mountaineers were not ranked in the first national rankings of the 2013 season due to not competing last weekend. The team hopes to continue its success on the road at Utah with No. 12 Southern Utah and No. 20 Oregon State. The meet will take place Jan. 19 at 9 p.m. ET at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 13 Smith completed 18-of26 passes for 197 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions, pushing his season mark to a national-best 42 touchdown passes. Gulley hit pay dirt on the ensuing Orange possession and a West Virginia safety on the subsequent drive spelled doom for the Mountaineers. Holgorsen said there were many things West Virginia did poorly, including being unable to overcome adversity. “(This season) our pass defense was bad, but our run defense was okay, and then to be in a game like this, where you have to rely on your run defense to help you win and you’re not able to do it - it’s pretty frustrating,” he said. “The bottom line is, our team didn’t overcome a lot of things and didn’t do enough to stay in the game.” West Virginia ends its season with an overall record of 7-6, a long fall from the No. 4-ranked, 5-0 team that once was. With the departures of key seniors and Bailey, the outlook for next season remains murky. Holgorsen said this individual loss is only part of the team’s big picture for the future. “We’re going to learn a lot more about what happened in the Big 12 this year,” he said. “Moving on from here, it’s more about that than this specific game.” Senior inside receiver Tavon Austin was limited to just 153 all-purpose yards, and he finished his career as the all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards. Bailey, who will forego his senior season to enter the NFL draft, finished with eight catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns; his 25 touchdowns this season lead the nation. He departs West Virginia as the school’s alltime leader in touchdown receptions. Smith’s career ends as the most decorated passer in program history, as he set or broke every significant passing record during his career. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu
