Program aids distressed students, staff by alexa mcclennen correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University is now offering an online program called Kognito for students, staff and faculty who might be experiencing any type of psychological stress or suicidal thoughts.

The program’s main objective is to teach users how to find proper resources and establish better communication to answer challenging health questions through

an immersive and interactive 45-minute course. Kognito’s research has proved having a successful conversation with a health provider can drive positive changes in health behavior.

According to the website, Kognito creates positive changes in health behaviors through the use of virtual learning experiences with virtual humans. Each conversation simulates the interactions and behaviors of practicing health professionals, patients, caregivers, students and educators in

The decision makers

Faculty Senate makes academic impact on campus by alyssa lazar staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Faculty Senate at West Virginia University is a crucial decision-making element of the University. It is responsible for monitoring academic matters affecting faculty and students alike.

The Faculty Senate is a conglomeration of 123 senators from the academic departments at WVU, with representation from WVU’s main campus in Morgantown and its divisional campuses at Potomac State College and WVU Institute of Technology. The Senators relay issues and views about changes to the executive council.

Former Faculty Senate chair Lisa DiBartolomeo said the group oversees matters concerning curriculum and courses at WVU. “Faculty Senate reviews general education curriculum, major programs and course programs,” she said.

“During the meetings, we approve new courses, make course changes and review anything that is added to or taken from the general education curriculum.”

The purpose of the Faculty Senate is to be a voice for the faculty on campus. Not just for the main campus in Morgantown, but also for its divisional campuses.

“It is probably the most important link for WVU faculty in shared governance,” DiBartolomeo said. “We are called upon to present representatives to a major search committee. So, for example, the Faculty Senate fielded representatives to replace President Clements.”

The Faculty Senate is composed of various committees.

Some committees include the Curriculum Committee, Faculty Welfare Committee and the Research and Scholarship Committee. The group also has an Executive Committee, which oversees the rest of the Faculty Senate.

Jennifer Orlikoff, the current Faculty Senate chair, said various committees work together to approve academic changes.

“If you want to look at the Curriculum Committee, the

process begins with the instructor who proposes a new course,” Orlikoff said. “It then goes to the Departmental Curriculum Committee, and then it goes to the Chair of the Department, followed by the College Curriculum Committee and then finally the Senate Curriculum Committee. It is then sent to the Provost.”

The meetings follow parliamentary procedure and occur once a month during the academic year. A couple hundred people are in attendance at these meetings.

Most recently, the Faculty Senate accepted an inclement weather statement that professors can use in their syllabi. It will address how faculty members and students should respond to bad weather on campus.

Currently, the Faculty Senate is working on advising new student evaluation of instruction forms.

The decisions that the Faculty Senate makes are important for improving the classroom experience for students and faculty.

“Most of the decisions that the Senate (makes has) some effect on the students; the decisions we make on adding majors and adding courses have a huge impact on their lives,” DiBartolomeo said.

Orlikoff said she suggests that students get involved with Faculty Senate by joining the Student Government Association.

“We are all part of the same University, so I think the students should be involved.

In the past, we have worked closely with the SGA, and I hope we continue to this year because what impacts the faculty impacts the students, and vice versa,” Orlikoff said.

In addition, some committees of the Faculty require student representatives, such as the General Education Curriculum Oversight Committee.

DiBartolomeo said she encourages students to attend the meetings, as they are open to the public.

The next meeting will be held Sept. 8th, at the Erikson Alumni Center.

real-life situations.

Protest stands against police brutality in America VIDEO @ ONLINE Check out our video from Tuesday’s protest in front of the Mountainlair.

www.thedaonline.com by patrick clarke correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University students and Morgantown residents joined together Tuesday to take a stand against police brutality outside the Mountainlair.

Protestors held signs reading, “We Are Not Bulletproof,” and “Save Our Children, Stop Police Brutality” to raise awareness to passerby of the incidents occurring around the country.

Stacie Brown, a 25-year-old Morgantown resident and the protest leader, said West Virginia ranks fourth in the nation for reported police misconduct.

“The issue is important to me because I feel like police brutality has been swept under the rug, and it’s alarming,” Brown said.

WVU student Erica Gillespie said she was drawn to the event and heard about it through a friend.

The Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, MO. caught her attention and made her more aware of the issue of police brutality.

“I think the situation in Ferguson is horrible, and if it wasn’t for social media, it probably would’ve gone on unnoticed,” said Alexis Taylor, a recent WVU gradAndrew Spellman/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Committee of the Whole session answers questions from the public by victoria Madden correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The Morgantown City Council hosted its monthly Committee of the Whole session Tuesday. The Committee received information and asked questions in an informal setting with the public.

The council invited offi-

cials from a variety of companies and organizations to present their items of discussion.

David Bruffy, General Manager for the Mountain Line Transit Authority, presented on the topic of public transit in Morgantown.

Morgantown has the second largest public transportation system in the state. It also ranks 20th

in the country as a public transit for users in the community.

The demand is strong and growing, however, the funding for it is small and shrinking, he said.

West Virginia University cut its funding to Mountain Line by $166,000 on June 30, and Mountain Line has not had time to adapt to the dramatic change.

“We haven’t even had the opportunity to adapt this for the school year,” Bruffy said.

A second Blue and Gold bus has been cut, resulting in fewer choices and more traffic on the streets, according to Bruffy. Instead, WVU decided to spend resources on renovating the Personal Rapid Transit.

Many of the council

members said they were intrigued by what’s been going on and the current issues the Mountain Line Transit Authority is facing.

“For instance today, I understand from my daughter that the PRT was down for a bit,” said Mayor Jennifer Selin. “What is the scenario when the PRT is down?”

Quake is major test for hard-luck California city VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) — The historic blue-collar town of Vallejo is a short distance but a far cry from the touristy Napa Valley vineyards and quaint towns. So when Sunday’s earthquake struck, the damage to the wine industry took center stage and the rubble in Vallejo got scant attention.

The bayside city that twice was briefly the capital of California sustained millions of dollars in damage and dozens of people were injured, with a couple hospitalized.

Just 10 miles from the quake’s epicenter, parts of the town suffered broken windows and collapsed masonry.

On Vallejo’s Mare Island, the first U.S. naval shipyard on the Pacific, numerous century-old buildings used today by more than 100 businesses and other enterprises suffered damage, mostly to their facades, officials said.

The quake – although it exacted a greater toll in damage and injuries in Napa Valley – was the latest blow to a hard-luck community that has weathered years of bankruptcy and is now beset by poverty, gangs and crime.

For City Manager Daniel Keen, the magnitude-6.0 quake posed the first major test for this city of about 100,000 people since it emerged from bankruptcy three years ago with budget, staff and public services pared back.

“This city has been through an awful lot,” Keen said, including budget cuts that leave it operating at about 50 percent of normal city staffing. But, he said, “we’d never really worked together as a team” in an emergency before Sunday’s quake.

Mostly, it seemed on Tuesday that Vallejo came through the challenge.

Yellow-hatted building inspectors and structural engineers, including 20 from the state who showed up that morning to help, climbed the rolling city’s hilltops to scan chimneys and rooftops for damage.

In the parking lot of Vallejo’s First Baptist Church, 26-year-old Leslie Thomas and others lined up for a free lunch,

David Smith, of Republic Services, presented improvements for productivity and customer service.

On WVU’s move-in day, the company did a recycling roll-off for cardboard. It was a way to encourage students to recycle more on campus and their place of residence.

With the success of the improvements, they’re going to continue forward, he said.

“That’s what we are doing, getting out there educating them,” Smith said.

The company wants to show what level of

as usual. But it was the Salvation Army, rather than the usual church workers, serving the coffee, pastries and boxed meals this time.

The quake had knocked loose the brick bell tower of the church, forcing local officials to close it and the charity to take over responsibility for the soup kitchen.

“Wouldn’t want a lot of people standing in there and then all of a sudden it just collapses,” Thomas said.

Vallejo is less than 15 miles south of tony Napa, the wining, dining and tourism center hardest hit

by Sunday’s quake, but Vallejo is in some ways a world away.

While the wine country thrived, financial mismanagement and the collapse of the housing bubble meant Vallejo took one of the hardest dives of any city in the recent recession. Bankruptcies, mortgage defaults and joblessness soared.

The city’s poverty rate stands at 16 percent, and personal income is two-thirds that of Napa residents.

Vallejo saw better times in the 19th century, twice serving briefly as an early capital of California. Much of the housing stock is brick Victorians, veterans of California’s quakes.

Elizabeth Hoffman ticked off past quakes felt here: “1906, 1989, and now.

I don’t think they’re going to survive another one.”

Hoffman, 34, was taking her elementary-schoolage son around Tuesday to show him the damage from the latest temblor.

Her driveway was one of 30 sites the city deemed too dangerous to enter because of quake damage. The shaking, less severe overall than up north in Napa, had sent a neighbor’s Victorian chimney down on her parked car.

Instead of seeking out an evacuation center, residents who were leery of their buildings after the quake found lodging with friends and family instead, Salvation Army Capt.

Vickie Harvey said.

The final damage toll would likely be in the tens of millions of dollars, said Keen, the city manager. service the people need to have.

Under Items for Discussion are the Zoning Map Amendment from the R-2 District to the B-1 District. The Zoning Amendment is for 13.4 acres to be annexed into the city.

An ordinance annulling a portion of Suzanne Road in the Second Ward, and an ordinance annulling a portion of Doris Road, also in the Second Ward, have been moved to the agenda for the next meeting.

Federal prosecutions not easy in police shootings

Attorney General Eric Holder talks with Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol at Drake’s Place Restaurant in Florrissant, Mo. WASHINGTON (AP) — As the Justice Department probes the police shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old in Missouri, history suggests there’s no guarantee of a criminal prosecution, let alone a conviction.

Federal authorities investigating possible civil rights violations in the Aug. 9 death of Michael Brown in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson must meet a difficult standard of proof, a challenge that has complicated the path to prosecution in past police shootings.

To build a case, they would need to establish that the police officer, Darren Wilson, not only acted with excessive force but also willfully violated Brown’s constitutional rights. Though the Justice Department has a long history of targeting police misconduct, including after the 1991 beating of Rodney King, the high bar means that many high-profile police shootings that have raised public alarm never wound up in federal court.

“It’s a very difficult standard to meet, and it really is satisfied only in the most egregious cases,” said University of Michigan law professor Samuel Bagenstos, the former No. 2 official in the department’s civil rights division. “Criminal enforcement of constitutional rights is not something that is easily pursued. It really requires building a case very carefully, very painstakingly.”

Federal prosecutors, for instance, declined to charge New York police officers who killed the unarmed Sean Bell in 2006 in a 50-shot barrage fol-

protest

Continued from page 1 uate. “It’s becoming somewhat of an epidemic.”

The Michael Brown incident is not the main reason for why they are protesting, however, it is one of the concerns that has brought police brutality across the country to the public’s attention.

“Ferguson is the only one that the media is bringing any attention to,” said Daniel Gibson, a junior at WVU. “It’s not the only one that’s happening.”

Jack Taylor, a retired resident of Morgantown, said

lowing his bachelor party in Queens. The four New York officers who in 1999 fired 41 shots at Amadou Diallo, an unarmed African immigrant, after they said they mistook his wallet for a gun were acquitted during a state trial and never faced federal prosecution for his killing.

More recently, the Justice Department did not charge either of the officers who shot and killed Miriam Carey, a 34-yearold woman who last year drove into a White House checkpoint and then led police on a car chase toward the U.S. Capitol.

“Accident, mistake, fear, negligence and bad judgment do not establish such a criminal violation,” prosecutors wrote in explaining their decision in that case.

In the Brown case, much will depend on the specific facts of the confrontation, which remain unclear.

Police have said a scuffle broke out after Wilson told Brown and a friend to move out of the street and onto a sidewalk. Police say Wilson was pushed into his squad car and physically assaulted. Some witnesses have reported seeing Brown’s arms up in the air before the shooting, an apparent sign of surrender. An autopsy paid for by Brown’s family concluded that he was shot six times, twice in the head.

Investigators are working with a federal law that makes it illegal for officers to abuse their power by willfully depriving a person of his civil rights, such as the right to be free from an unlawful police seizure. The statute does not require an officer to have

been motivated by racial bias, but it does mean that the officer cannot intentionally do something that the law prohibits.

But investigations are complicated by the fact that police officers are given latitude in their use of force, including in circumstances where an officer reasonably believed the force was necessary to capture a dangerous fleeing felon or had a good basis to fear his life was in imminent danger, said Rachel Harmon, a University of Virginia law professor and former Justice Department civil rights prosecutor.

“In order to prove that there was a constitutional violation, the government would have to prove that from a reasonable officer’s perspective, those circumstances didn’t exist and that a reasonable officer wouldn’t believe that they existed,” Harmon said, noting that the Supreme Court has said courts should not apply a “20/20 vision of hindsight” in evaluating whether an officer used excessive force.

The civil rights statute in recent years has been used to prosecute law enforcement officers for a wide range of conduct, including sexual assault, robbery and shootings of unarmed civilians in New Orleans in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

But because it can be difficult to prove that an officer didn’t feel threatened during a confrontation, a more common prosecution involves victims who were assaulted while already in custody, such as Abner Louima, the Haitian immigrant who in

1997 was beaten by officers and sodomized with a broomstick inside a New York police precinct.

Dynamic confrontations, like the one police say preceded the Ferguson shooting, are more difficult for prosecutors than cases involving an “inmate who is handcuffed, or in a cell who gets beaten by a corrections officer,” said David Weinstein, a defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor in Miami.

In addition to the federal civil rights probe, a St. Louis County grand jury is hearing evidence about the death in its own investigation.

There is precedent for the Justice Department to become involved at the conclusion of a state case if federal officials feel justice hasn’t been done. After four police officers were acquitted in a California state trial in the beating of motorist Rodney King, the Justice Department filed federal civil rights charges and won convictions against two of them.

In the Ferguson case, dozens of FBI agents have canvassed the area to interview witnesses. Attorney General Eric Holder last week traveled there to help ease tensions and the department has obtained an additional federal autopsy to augment those carried out by local authorities and at the request of Brown’s family.

“I don’t know that it’s an indication of there being something there (that points to guilt) any more than it is a response from Washington to show, ‘We’ll look at this. We’ll find it out. Everyone please calm down,’” Weinstein said.

Eminem releases new song, ‘Guts over Fear’ Dreama Elliott Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Sunday at midnight, Eminem released his latest addition to his musical portfolio, “Guts Over Fear,” featuring Sia. In this song, Eminem portrays that he feels like he’s constantly rephrasing the same song over and over again just to have it be released to the public as something new.

He said that it’s too late for him to start over because rapping is the only thing he knows.

Though he keeps speaking in a rhythm, it feels like Eminem is speaking directly to the audience. Listeners can relate to him because many things in their lives feel like constant repetition with no end in sight.

Eminem hits home for listeners with his line about finding yourself. He is relatable to the public because he has gone through some

Local enterpreneur opens Liquid Lounge Ray Glymph, an entrepreneur and business owner of the sports bar 4th & Goal, is opening Liquid Lounge, another addition to the bar/club for students on campus.

Morgantown’s newest hip-hop spot will be located at 233 Walnut St. where Shooter’s bar used to be.

Hoping to create a city-feel to this new lounge, Glymph said he will offer items that some places in Morgantown don’t have to offer, including table service, a VIP section and food.

A full bar and lounge chairs are set up for customers to relax and enjoy a drink.

Hungry customers can enjoy one of Glymph’s signature foods such as chicken and waffle bites, which he said will also be offered at his restaurant, Soul Brothers Chicken & Seafood.

Emily Summers, a senior nursing student at West Virginia University, said she is excited to hear about the lounge opening.

“I’ve lived in Morgantown since 2010, and there’s never been anything like this to come here,” Summers said. “I think it will be a nice change for Morgantown.

It will give students a place where they can choose to sit and just relax or dance.”

Glymph said he hopes to bring hookahs to the lounge in the near future.

Liquid Lounge will be 21 and older, and will have a dress code. Glymph said he wants his lounge to be “pure classiness of downtown Morgantown.”

A DJ booth is set up near the entrance, along with a dance floor. DJs there will play the latest hip-hop and R&B hits.

This dance floor will be different from others in Morgantown. Glymph said customers will be able to move around comfortably.

“I’m from New York and trying to bring that city-feel to the Morgantown area,” Glymph said. “I’m also trying to keep it a safe environment for customers.”

Liquid Lounge will open mid September. Glymph said he is accepting resumes for servers, bartenders and bouncers.

Follow Liquid Lounge on Twitter @LiquidLoungeWV for more information about the opening day and what the specials will be.

‘Grand Theft Auto’ creators diss Lohan NEW YORK (AP) — The makes of the “Grand Theft Auto” video games say Lindsay Lohan sued to get attention when she asserted the games’ latest installment features a character based on her.

In Manhattan court papers made public Tuesday, Take-Two Interactive Soft-

ware Inc. and subsidiary Rockstar Games call the case frivolous and maintain it was “filed for publicity purposes.” They want it dismissed and want the “Mean Girls” star to pay their legal fees.

Lohan’s lawyer didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

Lohan sued in July over “Grand Theft Auto V.” Her suit says the game uses her image, voice and styles and evokes her via a character named Lacey Jonas.

Take-Two says her voice, name and likeness aren’t used, and the character resembles her only in being a young, blonde woman.

Emmy’s should treat newcomers better NEW YORK (AP) — There was something embarrassing about the rash of repeat treating on Monday’s Emmycast. It might have left viewers wondering if they had stumbled on a rerun of last year’s show, or the one before that. Or maybe an awards show equivalent of “Groundhog Day.” Count `em up: Bryan Cranston’s fourth bestdrama Emmy for “Breaking Bad,” his co-star Aaron Paul’s third supporting-actor trophy, and the second best-drama salute for the show. There was a fourth statuette for Jim Parsons (“The Big Bang Theory”), the third in a row for Julia Louis-Dreyfus (“Veep”), the fifth straight for “Modern Family.”

Nothing against these winners, especially the honors-showered “Breaking Bad,” the finest drama series in recent television history.

But repeat recognition can become wretched excess.

Monday’s Emmycast might have left viewers wondering whether anything new on TV happened last season.

The prime-time Emmys, bestowed for 66 years, are meant to celebrate excellence in television. But in Emmy’s eyes, excellence too often takes the form of stamina, not the burst of inspiration that may have launched a series and its characters many seasons earlier and since settled into routine.

Too often, Emmy celebrates not excellence, but an excellently maintained status quo.

Here’s one instance of voluntary restraint: In 1996,

Candice Bergen withdrew from consideration as a nominee for her starring role in the sitcom “Murphy Brown.” By then, she had raked in five Emmys and wanted to give others a chance. Enough was enough, she reasoned.

Perhaps the Television Academy should have taken a cue from her example.

Or maybe it should go even further and impose a total ban on re-Emmying, allowing any program and the individuals attached a maximum of one Emmy apiece through the full run of the show. One and done, with no more nominations. After that, only a clear and demonstrable change in a series, or in a character or other aspect of the series, would allow nomination for an encore award.

As radical as this change would be, other awards come with much tougher rules: Any book, record, film or Broadway show gets its one crack at a Pulitzer, Grammy, Oscar or Tony the year it’s released. There’s no reconsidering the project a year later, just because it’s still around.

Sure, TV is different. Unlike other art forms, TV consists mostly of open-ended series that unfold episodically and aim to span more than a single season. That’s the nature of the medium.

Except this has somehow bred a system where each series can score a new round of awards with every lap of the same race.

Granted, this plan would be about as popular among those in charge, and be as

readily adopted, as term limits for members of Congress. In Hollywood as in Washington, the people who would most directly benefit from such reform would be not the satisfied incumbents, but outsiders.

On Monday night, Matthew McConaughey, of all people, was exposed as an outsider. As Tim Molloy notes in The Wrap, even this Oscar winner and Hollywood golden boy couldn’t break into the Emmy winners circle.

“The main criteria for winning an Emmy this year,” Molloy writes, “seemed to be having one already.”

But it wasn’t just this year.

It’s the situation year after year with Emmy voters, helpless creatures of habit.

While acknowledging that Cranston’s work in last season’s “Breaking Bad” was splendid, can anyone make a convincing argument that his ongoing portrayal of meth kingpin Walter White in a fifth season outshined McConaughey’s achievement in creating from scratch the dual personas of Detective Rust Cohle on the freshman HBO series “True Detective”?

With so much great TV that deserves consideration, the Emmys should make a big change from treating the same stars and shows like shiny objects to adore year after year just because they haven’t faded.

Or the Academy could change the rules another way, and anoint “Breaking Bad” for more awards again next year, never mind it’s off the air. Just out of habit.

‘As Above, So Below’ gets lackluster reviews LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,” is the inscription uncovered by a gang of 20-something treasure hunters in the catacombhopping horror flick, “As Above, So Below.” But the warning could easily apply to viewers checking out this rather hopeless mashup of “The Descent” and “(Rec),” not to mention a dozen other found-footage movies that have clogged the screens over the last five years.

Hardly credible, even for a film claiming that the gates of hell lie a few hundred feet below Paris (if anywhere, they can be found in an overcrowded Metro car with no air conditioning), this low budget effort from director John Erick Dowdle and writer-producer-brother Drew Dowdle provides a few late scares after plenty of eye-rolling setup, with said scares due more to the heavy sound design than the action itself.

First seen wearing a headscarf as she explores an off-limits cavern in Iran, gorgeous tomb raider Scarlett (Perdita Weeks) claims to be a black belt in Capoeira while holding a doctorate from University College London.

While she never uses her fighting skills and fails to cite Dante when coming across the above-mentioned quote (so much for the Ph.D.), she’s still brazen enough to continue her dead father’s lifelong

quest to discover the legendary, eternal-life giving Philosopher’s Stone. (Yes, the same one from Harry Potter, though this specimen happens to be found in France.)

Teaming up with an ex-pat clockmaker (Ben Feldman, aka Ginsberg on “Mad Men”) who also speaks fluent Aramaic, and a guy named Benji (Edwin Hodge, “The Purge”) who’s been brought on as the requisite cameramanwho-keeps-shooting-atall-costs, Scarlett uncovers a few clues that lead her to the Paris catacombs, which famously house the bones of six million dead, buried there up through the late 19th century. The three Americans then contract the services of three spelunking Frenchies (Francois Civil, Marion Lambert, Ali Marhyar) and together they head underground, the treasure hunt taking them further and further down as things inevitably get out of hand.

Cue up lots of stinging sound effects, eerie chanting, rats, a freaky dude named “the Mole” (Cosme Castro) who pops up now and then (and who, for no reason, everyone addresses in English), and a slew of lame paranormal gags whereby each character is forced to face their own inner demons. But the characters are all so brazenly one-dimensional, and Scarlett so ridiculous (she dresses for the expe-

dition like she’s headed to the mall), that “As Above” never passes the credibility test from the get-go, only partially salvaged by a few chilling moments that pop up in the final reel.

No strangers to the found-fo otag e game, the Brothers Dowdle (as they call their production shingle) already handled the lesser U.S. remake of “(Rec),” and while that movie at least had a decent pitch, this one feels like an oddly serious take on the tongue-in-cheek Venice cave sequence from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” It doesn’t help either that this film is loaded with purposely shaky camerawork, making it hard to see what’s what and who’s who amid all the Mo-sick cinematography.

At best, the filmmakers capitalize on their Paris locations, staging a few scenes in the actual catacombs (still a popular tourist attraction), others in a trendy nightclub and empty Right Bank cathedral. Along with a wellchosen closing song from French DJs Scratch Massive, and one or two genuine scares, that’s about the best this excursion has to offer. Come for the poster, stay for the end credits.

“As Above, So Below,” a Universal release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “bloody violence and terror, and language throughout.” Running time: 93 minutes.

Judge dismisses Deep Throat controversy NEW YORK (AP) — A Manhattan judge has found a lot of differences between the porn classic “Deep Throat” and last year’s Hollywoodproduced biography of the world’s first major porn star.

U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa tossed out a lawsuit brought by Arrow Productions Limited against the Weinstein Co. and other defendants in a written decision that was publicly released Tuesday.

The judge said he decided after reviewing both films that the makers of the Hollywood film did not copy the core of “Deep Throat,” which came out in 1972. He said “Deep Throat” is a pornographic film focusing on one type of sex act while “Lovelace” is a critical, biographical film which contains no pornographic scenes or nudity.

In Monday’s decision, Griesa described “Deep Throat” as a “famous pornographic film replete with explicit sexual scenes and sophomoric humor” while he said “Lovelace” documents the tragic life of Linda Lovelace, whose real name was Linda Boreman.

The lawsuit attempted to prevent the distribution of “Lovelace” when it was released last year, but Griesa did not allow it.

The judge said the reproduction in “Lovelace” of three scenes from “Deep

EDITORIAL

The importance of staying informed Most of us have heard about the Ferguson riots and the rising issue of police brutality. Some know little to nothing about the situation and what it’s brought to the media and the country.

Images and videos are clogging up social media sites and news channels.

Protesters and journalists were getting arrested left and right, while a curfew was briefly put into effect. Hedy Epstein, a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor was arrested while protesting Governor Jay Nixon’s mobilization of the National Guard. Wesley Lowery, a Washington Post journalist, was arrested in a McDonald’s while covering the riots.

Ferguson Mayor James

Knowles said, “Let’s have a night that we can completely separate those good people exercising their First Amendment rights from those who are trying to co-opt this horrible situation into something to meet their own needs,” in a television interview a couple weeks ago.

More simply put, violent acts won’t help the issue of violence.

So what’s to come of this?

Just because Missouri is a few states away, doesn’t mean we should brush off this tragic story that could have occured anywhere.

With the hustle and bustle of the night life in Morgantown, who’s to say it couldn’t have happened here?

The shooting in Fergu-

son has had an effect on the entire country. President Obama has wieghed in, and it’s being broadcast all over the world.

For those of you out of the loop, take a quick glance and get informed. Student Body President Chris Nyden said he believes the place to change things is right here, on college campuses. After all, we are the future leaders of the country.

Although issues like these are of grave importance, we strongly encourage members of our community to form their own decisions on the matter. Don’t get swept up in the mob mentality of rumors and misinformation. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

‘Undercover Colors’ gives fashion a whole new meaning jake jarvis a&e editor @jakejarviswvu

After many hoaxes, I’m hesitant as to what I see on Facebook.

Recently, friends began sharing articles about a revolutionary drug that would aid in a women’s safety by preventing her from ingesting date rape drugs.

Fo u r undergraduate students from North Carolina State University invented a nail polish called “Undercover Colors” that can detect the date rape drugs Rohypnol, Xana and GHB when it comes in contact with a drink.

Ankesh Madan, Stephen Grey, Tasso Von Windheim and Tyler Confrey-Maloney were the brains behind this invention.

Women are now able to stir a small cocktail or glass of beer with their finger and know instantly, by the change of the nail polish color, whether their drink has been tampered with.

This idea is nothing new.

Drink Safe Technologies is the leader in drug detection technology with myriad products available at http://drinksafetech.com.

www.amplifyingglass.com

“We wanted to focus on preventive solutions, especially those that could be integrated into products that women already use,” Madan told Higher Education Works in June.

This invention, like most things in life, has positives and negatives associated with it.

One positive is this product makes it feel like women have more control over their environment while on a night out on the

town. Instead of bringing a coaster that detects drugs, the nail polish is better hidden from the public’s eye.

There are many cases around the nation of college-aged women being taken advantage of by men. It’s exciting to see four young men taking this challenge head on and trying to find a solution to the problem.

But is this the solution?

This product is reactionary to the problem instead of working to prevent it.

Think about the message this product sends to young women: Men are going to try and rape you no matter what, so we hope this pretty nail polish helps.

Subconsciously, this also tells men that society sanctions their actions. This plays into the “boys will be boys” argument.

Let’s compare this to driving a car.

When you sit behind the wheel, what do you do? You of course buckle your seat-

belt, or at least you should.

This protects you on the off chance that if you were in an automobile accident, you would have a higher chance of survival.

Imagine a world where female drivers, and perhaps some male, were subject to such dangerous hostility from other drivers, their lives were in danger.

Would you tell the female drivers to put on extra seatbelts, or would you tell the other drivers to chill out?

Obviously the latter.

Has it really come to the point where women have to phsycially arm themselves with science to protect from being raped?

Because it impairs one’s judgement, alcohol can be the worst of all the date rape drugs.

Let’s be clear: If a person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, they are not able to give their consent.

No exceptions.

Many have had experiences, myself included, where we’ve woken up in strange places with strange people. What happens in those hours where we’re unconscious?

Unfortunately, we live in a world where the burden to prevent rape lies on the victim.

I’ve heard people say things such as “She was asking for it,” or “She shouldn’t have been wearing that.”

“Undercover Colors” is a welcome addition to the world of preventing sexual assault but it is not the solution. This invention prompts all of us to be aware of the double standards we place on different genders. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

How To Solve Your Common Roommate Problems elana goodwin ohio state

Whether you’re living in a dorm, apartment, or house, most college students tend to have at least one roommate during their years at school.

Here’s a list of some of the most common roommate problems and how to solve them.

Messiness vs. Neatness.

Having a roommate who’s a slob or completely OCD about the place being clean can really create tension between you and your roomie.

If you’re a neat freak living with someone who doesn’t pick up after themselves or a messy person living with someone who likes everything clean and tidy 24/7, there are going to be some problems.

To avoid these problems altogether, try to find a roommate who has the same ideals of housekeeping as you do. However, that’s not always possible, especially if you’re randomly assigned a roommate in the dorms or you need to fill some places in your house, etc.

But having different approaches to cleanliness or messiness doesn’t mean you can’t get along as roommates. Sit down with your messy or OCD roomie and figure out a compromise, like

DA

dishes have to be done within the day they’re used and no more than two pairs of shoes should be lying discarded by the door at a time.

My Stuff vs. Our Stuff (also, My Food vs. Our Food). When you live with a roommate, oftentimes you’ll end up sharing stuff, like milk, eggs, cleaning products, etc.

On certain groceries and household products, it makes sense to share with your roommate or roommates.

However, that can also lead to the line between your stuff and everyone’s stuff being blurred.

Sharing milk and eggs is one thing, but you’re bound to get annoyed if you discover your roommate’s been getting into your cereal, yogurt, or other personal food items.

Same thing goes for shampoo, clothes, etc.

You need to go over the “rules” with your roommate as far as what’s okay for everyone to use and what’s not.

Also, while it’s logical to have only one gallon of milk in your apartment or house at a time, sharing designated groceries, toilet paper, etc. can also lead to conflict if you feel you’re always the one buying what everyone is using.

Set a schedule with your roomie or roomies that specifies whose turn it is to buy what so you don’t feel like you’re always shelling out the cash so everyone can reap the

benefits.

Quiet Time vs. Noisy Time.

With college students owning so many different kinds of technologies and electronic devices, noisiness can become an issue when living with other people.

Maybe you live with someone who likes to blast their music or binge-watch TV with the volume way up or catch up with friends on their phone or Skype and chat loudly for long lengths of time. Obviously, living with someone else means they’re going to make some noise and that’s fair.

But if you cohabitate with someone who has friends over all the time or just doesn’t seem to ever lower the volume on their life, a friendly chat may be needed.

If you feel like you need your home to be quieter, try compromising with your roommate and set quiet hours, like keeping the noise down on weeknights after 10 p.m.

Or, suggest your roommate wear headphones when listening to music or watching something on their laptop.

Personal Space vs. Communal Space. This problem that often arises goes along with the my stuff vs. our stuff problem.

If you have your own room in your apartment or house, setting boundaries for what’s personal space and what’s communal is fairly easy. Your

commons.wikimedia.org

bedroom? Personal space.

The kitchen, living room and bathroom? Communal space.

However, communal space can also become personal space depending on the occasion and if you do share a room, having personal space can be more difficult. If your roommate is having a bunch of people over for a movie night or study session and wants to use the living room, that becomes personal space while they use it.

Clear and open communication is crucial so you don’t plan a TV watch party with friends the same night your roommate is planning to use the same room to cram with classmates for a test.

Sharing a room means

your personal space is a lot smaller, and therefore all the more precious. Sit down with your roomie and designate what areas are your personal space, like your desk, bed, etc. that you don’t want your roommate’s friends using or sitting on without permission.

Be conscientious of the fact you’re both inhabiting a small space and there’s bound to be friction if personal boundaries aren’t respected.

Respect vs. Disregard.

You don’t have to be best friends with your roommate but a certain level of respect for each other is needed if you’re going to live together peacefully.

Being roommates doesn’t require you to agree with all

of the other’s religious beliefs, political views and personal choices, but does require you to respect them, regardless of your perspective on the matter.

Don’t disregard your roommate’s feelings and consider how your actions as a roommate will affect them. Having your friends over? Run it by your roommate and let them know. Going out to eat? Pop in and invite your roomie to tag along once in a while.

Be the kind of roommate you’d want to have – considerate, friendly and respectful. It will help you avoid a lot of common roommate problems that would otherwise cause trouble between you and your roomie.

Final days of Gray’s exhibit

‘Jungle Fantasy ‘

Johnnie Armes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Daryl Gray’s Retrospective and Introspective Exhibit in the Monongalia Arts Center.

westley thompson A&E writer @Dailyathenaeum

Now in its final days Daryl Gray’s art exhibit “Retrospective and Introspective,” still delights art lovers in the Morgantown area.

Displayed since Aug. 8 at the Monongalia Arts Center, Gray’s exhibit showcases paintings that chronicle her last 20 years of artistic endeavors.

The 84-year-old artist is a local to the area, and this is reflected in the subjects of some of her paintings.

Gray’s skill is displayed by both the variety of her subjects, and the mediums with which she captures them.

Her art features everything from gardens and farms, people, mining and outer space. All are captured exquisitely by the artist.

The outer space works are her most recent endeavor.

Here, she primarily focuses on large-scale cosmic bodies, such as nebulas and galaxies.

I was particularly fond of one paiting of a black hole in a cloud of dust.

The garden and farm paintings exhibited Gray’s most expressive brushwork.

The blades of grass and leaves on plants were done with immense detail and variety of shades of greens and yellows.

One painting in this series titled “Weeds,” seemed to be a crowd favorite. Here, the brushwork is vivid, resulting in an idyllic looking meadow in early summer.

The mining paintings are nicely done, also. These

works showcase the coal and mining industry that West Virginia is known best for. This series covers large landscapes of coal facilities and a detailed painting of a simple pair of boots.

Gray doesn’t just vary her subject matter, her art mediums change, too. A majority of the works are oil paintings.

However some are drawings and linocuts.

The linocuts were something I found particularly interesting. These pictures are created by carving a negative relief into a block of linoleum. Then, this carved block is inked and pressed onto the paper, leaving a detailed print of whatever the artist carved.

Gray’s linocut series focused heavily on the glass factories along Beechurst Avenue. Various landscapes featuring factories in the foreground with the Monongahela River in the background were commonplace.

The linocuts were a particular favorite of mine because I liked the simplicity of finished project. Black and white, very clean.

For those who have yet to visit Gray’s “Retrospective and Introspective” at the MAC, do not fret. The exhibit will continue to be displayed until Friday.

I highly recommend checking it out. The gallery is small and makes a perfect activity to fit into a larger day of exploring what downtown has to offer. Despite the small size, everyone is guaranteed to find a work they enjoy.

Performers in ‘Jungle Fantasy’ incorporate athleticism and art into a full performance.

Goldberg’s ‘Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy’ comes to Morgantown by jake jarvis Multimedia Editor @jakejarviswvu

“Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy” comes to the Creative Arts Center Sept.

9 and 10, bringing with it a kaleidoscopic exploration of the power and beauty of the natural world.

“Our goal in this show was to entertain audiences by taking them on (a) journey led by mother nature,” said Neil Goldberg, the show director and founder of Cirque Dreams, in a phone interview.

The show combines athleticism and physical prowess with performance artistry, similar to European circuses.

According to a press release from Cirque Dreams, “Jungle Fantasy” premiered at the Broadway Theatre in 2008. Since then, 3.5 million paying audience members have attended performances across the country.

Goldberg said the entire show is performed by only 25 artists, however the show boasts 300 unique characters that represent the elements, animals and mother nature.

There are many elaborate and detailed layers to the performance. The attention to detail is the trademark of the Cirque Dreams brand, but it wasn’t always this way.

“Twenty one years ago when I started this, critics used to criticize me for directing the show with so many layers,” Goldberg

“

“ I don’t think we as

artists think about what our careers can turn into. We think about what our imaginations can turn into.

Neil Goldberg

”

Cirque Dreams Director

said. “What I was criticized for in the past, I’m now praised for.”

Goldberg said this show inparticular was given many layers to mimick the way nature is always in motion.

“You never just see grass moving or a tree swaying,” Goldberg said.

From an early age, Goldberg has been a creative mind. At age 6, he saw the Broadway production of “The Miracle Worker.” Since then, his life has been a whirilwind of performance art.

At age 15, Goldberg began dressing windows on the streets of New York. He said his creativity, though a blessing, has been something he struggled with.

“It’s been an interesting journey to travel through my entire lifetime, because as a youngster, I was identified as being a bit strange,” Goldberg said. “So many therapists have tried to figure out what was going on in my head in my early years.”

Goldberg said he was blessed to turn his curiosity and creativity into a career.

“I don’t think we as artists think about what our

‘Jungle Fantasy’ has a cast of 25 performers careers can turn into,” Goldberg said. “We think about what our imaginations can turn into.”

Goldberg now rests at the helm of a 30,000-square -foot facility. He begins his day with a quick workout before running around to each department. Though he leaves the office around 10 p.m. each night, the work doesn’t stop there.

He could be sitting on a plane or laying in bed dreaming, while his mind wanders back to what he is working on.

The logistics of his job, such as acquiring visas for his cast and organizing rehearsals, are the dots he

sun-sentinel.com

said he has to connect to put on the show.

When all is finished and a show finally opens, Goldberg takes the back seat. He never accepts the praise given to the show’s performers, and said he instead prefers to be back stage.

“I think audiences leave appreciating the passion of everyone of those performers striving for perfection,” Goldberg said.

The 66th Primetime Emmy Awards, broadcast on NBC, was a night of celebrations of excellence on the small screen.

Celebrities, big and small, worked together to put on television’s biggest night. The biggest winners of the night were “Modern Family” and “Breaking Bad.” “Modern Family,” nominated for 67 Emmy awards since its premiere, won for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and Outstanding Directing of a Comedy Series. The show also won the Outstanding Comedy Series award for the fifth time.

Ty Burrell’s acceptance speech for Outstanding Supporting Actor was written by the show’s young cast members. It was a mix of humor and sarcasm, poking fun at the older members of the cast.

While the show overall was quite the success, some of the monologues were bland.

Steven Colbert and his imaginary friend monologue left the audience straightfaced and uninterested.

Although Colbert’s comic relief had a rocky beginning, it was saved after Gwen Stefani incorrectly pronounced his last name when she announced the award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series. Fallon came onstage to jokingly accept the award, blaming the mispronunciation.

One of the most memorable moments of the show was a tribute to all the actors who passed away this year, including Robin Williams.

KYLE MONROE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Head coach Dana Holgorsen encourages his team from the sideline in a game against the Baylor Bears in 2013.

Holgorsen says West Virginia is better at every position heading into matchup with Tide, 2014 season by anthony pecoraro associate sports editor @pecorarowvunews

Four days before the start of the 2014 season for West Virginia, head coach Dana Holgorsen addressed the media during his weekly press conference.

Though much was discussed about WVU entering the season against No. 2 Alabama, Holgorsen primarily focused on the strides he’s seen out of his entire squad since the end of the 2013 season.

“I think it’s night and day.

If you just look at the overall numbers, I think we’re better at every positon. We’re working with 85 scholarships for the first time in four years,” Holgorsen said.

“We (don’t have) to march 10, 15 or 20 freshmen out there.”

Holgorsen said the opportunity to begin the season with one of the most highly anticipated games of the first week in college football is something everyone in the Mountaineers’ program is excited about.

“We are thrilled to be able to head down to Atlanta on Saturday to take part in a game that will be considered one of the top games in the country coming up this weekend,” he said. “We’re fired up about it.

“Our players are in a really good spot at this point.

I think the overall health of our program and health of our team is as good as it’s been.

“We got through 25 practices over the last four weeks, and have put ourselves in a position where we feel really good about

taking on a quality opponent in Alabama.”

Even with the Tide heavily favored to win Saturday’s matchup, Holgorsen said he and his coaching staff pay no attention to all of that. It all comes down to how each team plays on the field.

“You can throw away favorites or underdogs, or any of that. It doesn’t affect our coaching style whatsoever, it doesn’t affect our preparation whatsoever,” he said.

We don’t pay attention to it.

It’s not something that affects us one way or another.

According to Holgorsen, with recruiting on the rise for the Mountaineers, he said out of all the true freshman that have impressed him during fall camp, safety Dravon Henry will be the lone true freshman playing in the Chick-Fil-A Kick-

off Game.

“Right now, I think it would be a safe bet to say (freshman safety) Dravon Henry is going to play, but he’s the only freshman that is going to play.”

Holgorsen said he’s not oblivious to the success Alabama has had in the last three seasons, which includes back-to-back BCS national championships, but he said that doesn’t mean his squad won’t be ready for the level of competition.

“Our guys are going to be ready to play. Alabama guys are going to be ready to play,” he said.

“I don’t really need to say much about our opponent, as far as what they’ve accomplished over the last few years.” anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

WVU defense must prepare for two Alabama QBs by connor murray sports editor @connorkmurray

While they may be a hotbutton issue around the landscape of college football every summer, quarterback controversies have rarely been a part of the preseason dialogue surrounding the Alabama Crimson Tide since head coach Nick Saban took over in 2007.

Throughout Saban’s tenure with the Tide, Alabama has enjoyed consistency and reliability at the quarterback position.

For the last three years, the top quarterback spot has been occupied by one of the most successful players in program history: AJ McCarron.

Heading into the 2014 season, however, McCarron has moved on to the NFL, and Saban and the Tide have been forced to find a new leader on offense.

With less than a week left until West Virginia University takes on Alabama in the Georgia Dome in the season opener, Saban said the competition between junior, Jake Coker, and senior, Blake Sims, has been too close to call. He said both signal callers will see the field Saturday.

Heading into one of its biggest nonconference matchups in recent memory, WVU’s defense will now be tasked with preparing for two quarterbacks with two different styles of play.

“What we have to do is

make sure we’re ready as a defense to run our packages. That’s the key to all of it. We have to prepare for a lot of different things,” said defensive coordinator, Tony Gibson.

“Sims is a little more athletic than Coker. We’ve been studying some film on (Sims). We got to see him in the spring and at the end of last year when they put him in at the end of games. Our kids will be ready.”

Blake Sims didn’t come to Alabama to play quarterback. In fact, when he first showed up in Tuscaloosa, Ala. in 2011, he was asked to play running back.

After his redshirt freshman year in 2011, Sims made the switch to quarterback and served as McCarron’s backup for two seasons.

While he may have learned from McCarron, he is a completely different type of quarterback. While McCarron became known for dissecting defenses from the pocket, Sims has been able to make an impact when he gets room to run.

“We really just have a little tape on (Sims). He’s gone into games, and we’ve been able to watch him play a little bit. He’s a very athletic, elusive type of quarterback.

He’s someone who can get on the perimeter and cause some damage,” said senior associate head coach, Tom Bradley.

“They do run a little Wildcat offense and things of that nature with him. It’s differ-

Blake Sims breaks away down the sideline during the 2013 season. ent. I’m sure they have a package set up for each guy, and they’ll stick to their plan.”

To complement Sims’ running ability, Jake Coker brings a more traditional skill set to the table. Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 230 pounds, Coker is the prototypical pro-style quarterback.

Just like West Virginia’s Clint Trickett, Coker started his career hoping to be the next great Florida State quarterback. As fate would have it, E.J. Manuel and Jameis Winston seized control of that position in 2013 and 2014, and both Trickett and Coker went their separate ways.

Trickett has found his footing in Morgantown and is heading into his senior season as the clear-cut

AP

starter. Coker hasn’t been as fortunate.

While they may be opponents Saturday, Trickett said he reached out to his former Seminole teammate to offer some advice on dealing with the uncertainty that comes with being in a quarterback competition.

“We talked about a week ago. I was just seeing how he was doing. I’m not sure of their situation, if he’s starting or (Sims) is starting. I was in the exact same situation as him (in 2013),” Trickett said.

“I just told him, ‘It’s going to be a long season whether you’re getting in there at the beginning or not. You never know what’s going to happen.’ He’s a good kid. I wish him nothing but the best except for this game.” connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Injury-free Tonkery ready for spotlight of ‘Bama game

FILE PHOTO

Wes Tonkery (No. 37) takes the field with his teammates before a game against Maryland during the 2013 season.

by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Wes Tonkery has been through a lot during his career at West Virginia.

The redshirt senior linebacker from Shinnston, W.Va. has played in two conferences under two head coaches, played safety before rotating through almost every linebacker position, started a BCS bowl game and suffered through numerous injuries.

Now, in his final year with the program, the local kid

who starred at Bridgeport High School will be playing in one of the biggest games of his career Saturday against preseason-No. 2 Alabama in the Georgia Dome.

The path hasn’t been easy, but Tonkery, who grew up watching the Mountaineers, said these are the games he came to WVU to play in.

“It’s definitely been a struggle. Being held back through injury doesn’t make it easy,” he said. “But you put in the hard work, and I ended up where I’m at now.

“I’ve watched this team win

big games in the past, and I want to carry on the tradition.”

Tonkery was a two-time All-State selection at both running back and defensive back in high school. He wasn’t heavily recruited out of high school and flew under most Division-I college scouts’ radars before accepting a scholarship to come to WVU in 2010 as a safety.

After redshirting his first year on campus, he played extensively on special teams before making his first career start in the Orange Bowl in place of injured safety Ter-

ence Garvin.

In 2012, Tonkery moved down to linebacker in the Mountaineers’ new 3-4 defensive scheme.

He remained at linebacker before sustaining a seasonending injury to his hand against Baylor in 2013.

Since then, the coaching staff and his teammates have been raving about his hard work and performance during fall camp and practice leading up to the season opener.

As far as the injuries that have plagued him through-

out his college career, Tonkery said they’re out of sight and out of mind.

“I play like I’ve never had them,” he said. “If you hold back, then that’s when you get hurt.”

After receiving a good amount of reps throughout fall camp and practice, Tonkery is listed as the No. 1 strong side linebacker on West Virginia’s latest depth chart.

Depth charts are always subject to change as far as different packages and personnel, but the native West Virginian still figures to see

plenty of action Saturday against the Crimson Tide, whether he’s on the field to start the game or not.

Tonkery credited Alabama’s talent-loaded team with being big, fast and strong but said the Mountaineers’ defense will be prepared.

When asked about being a 26-point underdog, Tonkery smiled and said he enjoys it.

“I think most of our success comes when we’re the underdog,” he said. “I take it as a challenge.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Volleyball

Gotterba trying to make most of opportunity at WVU by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Of the five freshmen on the West Virginia University volleyball team this season, perhaps no one has a more interesting story to tell than Gianna Gotterba.

Gotterba is a freshman journalism student from Stockton, Calif. She plays defensive specialist and libero for WVU. Her twin sister, Katrin Gotterba, is a freshman playing libero at the University of the Pacific, which is in Stockton, Calif.

Gotterba said coming to WVU from California to play has proven to be a re-

warding choice.

“It’s definitely going (well). It was an experience that I was kind of nervous to take because I’m from California (and) so far away,” Gotterba said. “But, I definitely made the right decision coming here because of the opportunity that I have. Not only with volleyball, but with my future.”

Studying television journalism, Gotterba said she wants to have a career in sports broadcasting.

Growing up playing volleyball, Gotterba said she always played with her sister, although it wasn’t always a competition.

“I surprisingly did some

hitting, so I was like a (Defensive Specialist) and hitter, and she was the libero,” she said. “We didn’t have to battle for the position.”

Gotterba said getting used to not playing with her sister happened very quickly because they had always played the same position as each other.

Even though the twins are playing the same sport on the same level, they more than likely won’t play each other in their college career or get to see the other play.

“Maybe on the Internet or something, but we don’t come across each other,” she said. “I’ll definitely try

and see some games if I can.”

Head coach Jill Kramer said Gotterba, along with the other freshmen on the team, are adjusting well to playing with their new teammates.

“From what I see, and from what I hear – very well,” she said. “I’m meeting with the players every week and talking to the upper classmen. We always have good comradery on the team, but there’s always somebody that we’ve got to kind of rope in. But this group doesn’t have that.”

The Mountaineers have been in practice for nearly three weeks and had the

annual Gold-Blue Scrimmage last weekend. Gotterba said taking the Coliseum floor with fans in the stands was an exciting experience.

“It was really fun,” she said. “I was nervous, but once warm ups started kicking in and we were out there on the court, I was not as nervous as I thought I was going to be.”

Gotterba said she has seen growth in herself since arriving at WVU and playing with the team. “(Coach Kramer) was saying once you get comfortable, obviously at first you didn’t know as many people, you get used to

playing with the girls and the trust level builds, then it’s definitely been improving,” she said.

With one main goal, Gotterba said she hopes she and her teammates can get better as they go. She said she has a destination in mind.

“To make it to the tournament definitely,” she said.

Gotterba will be in action with the Mountaineers this weekend in the Gold-Blue Player’s Challenge. The tournament begins Friday at 7 p.m. against Brigham Young University in the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Bielema ready for difficult opening test at Auburn FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) – Bret Bielema has talked throughout the preseason about his increased comfort level at Arkansas, and how he expects that to translate to a better team

on the field.

The former Wisconsin coach has continually praised the progress of the Razorbacks during preseason camp, and he hopes an opening conference game will add to the urgency for a team desperate to rebound from last season.

Even if that opening game comes against the Tigers, who reached the

After a winless run in the Southeastern Conference, the first for Arkansas since joining the league in 1992, Bielema hopes to snap a nine-game losing streak when the Razorbacks open the season at No. 6 Auburn on Saturday.

Last season’s highlights were far and few between for Arkansas, whose 3-9 record marked the first losing season of Bielema’s

national championship game last season before losing 34-31 to Florida State.

“I think it allows you to focus a little bit early on,” Bielema said. “Now, at the time this was scheduled, they weren’t the defending SEC champs and they didn’t come within a hair of chinny-chin-chin of winning the national championship.”

Bielema and Auburn coach Gus Malzahn’s careers have intersected since the day they were both hired into the SEC following the 2012 season – and not always because of on-the-field events.

The two engaged in a bit of back and forth regarding player safety in an uptempo offense prior to last season, and their opposite opinions were once again in the news this off-

season thanks to a debate over whether to bar offenses from snapping the ball before 10 seconds had elapsed on the play clock.

“We’re obviously two totally different kinds of people, probably, in certain regards,” Bielema said. “But two very similar people when you look at the details of what we believe in.”

Auburn defeated the Razorbacks 35-17 last season, doing so in Malzahn’s return to his native state of Arkansas.

The two have downplayed their rivalry, and the focus this week appears to have finally shifted away from the coaches to the quarterbacks – with Auburn starter Nick Marshall suspended to start the game because of a marijuana possession citation

Ap

Iowa State opens with concerns on defense

In this Nov. 9, 2013 file photo, TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin runs from Iowa State defensive back Deon Broomfield, left, during an 18-yard touchdown run in the first half of an NCAA college football game in Ames, Iowa.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — The key to the upcoming season couldn’t be any clearer for Iowa State.

The defense will need to play much better than it did a year ago for the Cyclones to have any hope of escaping the Big 12 basement.

For all the talk about new coordinator Mark Mangino’s revamped offense, it’s Iowa State’s defense that should be under the heaviest scrutiny. The Cyclones allowed 36 points a game last season — ranking 109th out of 125 Bowl Subdivision teams — and surrendered at least 41 points five times in nine league games.

Iowa State knows that can’t happen again this sea-

son, which starts on Saturday at home against defending FCS champion North Dakota State.

“Am I happier than I was a year ago at this point with what I saw on the practice field? Yes, I am. But until we get out there and start playing other folks, we’ve got areas that are a concern for us,” coach Paul Rhoads said of his defense.

It’s hard to glean too much into the importance of returning starters when a unit struggled as much as Iowa State’s defense did in 2013.

Still, the Cyclones have some experienced guys to count on.

Iowa State has a pair of

starters back to lead the program’s biggest question mark: defensive line. Right end Cory Morrissey is a potential All-Big 12 player after a promising season in 2013, and senior Brandon Jensen has reclaimed his starting spot at tackle after briefly quitting the team in the offseason.

Sophomore Mitchell Meyers has won the starting job at left end, and Devlyn Cousin will open the season at nose tackle.

“The interior linemen, they’ve really matured. They’ve stepped up and made great plays during camp,” Morrissey said.

“We’re going to make some plays this year.”

The Cyclones have plenty of linebackers.

But many of them haven’t played much beyond special teams.

Redshirt freshman Alton Meeks will be Iowa State’s middle linebacker. Unheralded former walk-on Drake Ferch beat out senior Jared Brackens for the strongside starting job, and senior Jevohn Miller will get the nod over sophomore Luke Knott on Saturday.

Rhoads is confident that Meeks and his inexperienced backups at middle linebacker, Kane Seeley and junior college transfer Jordan Harris, will be able to handle the communication responsibilities inherent to

the position.

“They made the rights and lefts and got us in the right calls,” Rhoads said.

“We’ll have 11 guys out there lined up right for a high percentage of the time. I’m confident about that.”

Cornerbacks Nigel Tribune and Sam E. Richardson – who is unrelated to Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson – will start.

Kenneth Lynn and rising senior Matt Thomas will back them up. The safeties will be a pair of new starters: T.J. Mutcherson and Kamari Cotton-Moyer.

“The corners have played like veteran players,” Rhoads said. “The safeties have looked like guys that

AP

have not yet played in the Big 12.”

The idea that Iowa State might have to outscore teams to win took shape in the offseason with the addition of Mangino.

But if the Cyclones can match an improved offense with a defense capable of making stops, they could easily outperform expectations that pegged them ninth in the Big 12 preseason poll.

“We’ve got unproven areas. We’ve got to get out there and start mixing it up with other folks, and it will quickly unfold to see if we are improved, markedly improved, or where we sit defensively,” Rhoads said.

Oklahoma St defensive backs ready for FSU STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma State’s defensive backs like the idea of facing the best of the best.

The Cowboys say they won’t be intimidated on Saturday night when they open the season against No. 1 Florida State in Arlington, Texas.

Florida State will surround returning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston with plenty of NFL potential, but Oklahoma State cornerback Kevin Peterson said the Cowboys are excited about the possibilities.

“We have heard that they have Olympic speed, but covering receivers like that is go-

ing to be fun,” Peterson said.

“Conditioning is what it’s going to come down to.”

Peterson is the only returning starter in Oklahoma State’s secondary. Cornerback Ashton Lampkin and safeties Jordan Sterns and Larry Stephens are the other starters. Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said he expects Oklahoma State’s secondary to be stout, and noted that though the other three players aren’t returning starters, they are fast and have game experience.

“You know how well they’re coached,” he said.

“You know they’re going to

Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer said it’s easy to forget that Winston is just entering his sophomore year.

“I’ve just been so impressed with the year he had last year, with the consistency of it, the accuracy, the composure he has for such, really, a young player,” Spencer said. “The composure that he had in big ballgames, crucial ballgames where some quarterbacks would melt, and he doesn’t. When people pressured him, he didn’t get shook. When people dropped back and played coverage, he was accurate in his throws. He found the open areas.”

Spencer said he knows his players are hearing negative comments about their chances against the Seminoles. He’s focusing on getting his team to win smaller challenges first.

“I’m not an idiot,” he said.

“I realize they do see what’s on television and they know how this game’s getting hyped, and that’s part of it.
