Greek recruitment to begin next week by patrick clarke correspondent @dailyathenaeum

In just one week, formal sorority recruitment and fraternity rush will be well underway, but many students are still unsure whether to rush and what they can expect to get out of it.

Greek life makes up almost 20 percent of the student population on campus and consists of 28 different chapters, 20 of them being fraternities and the remaining eight being sororities.

“I expect to meet all of the girls and get a feel for how they interact with each other within the sisterhood,” said Shannon Smith, a freshman who is eager to go through recruitment.

“Hopefully it will help me figure out where I fit in the most. I also can’t wait to learn about their

core values and the philanthropies they do.”

There are over 400 girls going through recruitment and about 150 guys going through rush, almost half of last year’s numbers, as of Monday.

The last deadline to sign up for sorority recruitment is tonight at midnight and the fraternity rush sign-up closes Sept. 9.

“I’m looking to make new connections and a way to network,” said Jasmine Haas, a sophomore sports and exercise psychology student. “I want to gain new experiences and meet a wider variety of people who will help me grow as a person.”

Not only will incoming freshmen be rushing, but transfer students and second or third year students, as well.

“This year, each sorority is focusing on their philanthropic

events, their academic achievements and their involvement on campus,” said Kristy Lennon, Vice President of Recruitment Coordination for the Panhellenic Council. “As Panhellenic women, we are excited to recruit women that hold themselves to high standards as we continue to better Greek Life at WVU. They will get a chance to meet sisters from each chapter that will become their lifelong friends. For the girls going through recruitment, this will be a long week but will also be the best week of your lives.”

Panhellenic Council will be doing things a little differently this year compared to previous years, by adding an informal part to the beginning of the process.

“We are beginning the week of recruitment with a more in-

formal round,” Lennon said.

“This round is called Sisterhood Day and is being held in the Lair. Each chapter has different things planned for this day but we are hoping that this will be a more comfortable and relaxed part of recruitment for both the sororities and the women going through recruitment.”

Lennon said she encourages anyone interested in joining a sorority to sign up for recruitment and see if it’s something for them.

“My advice to the women going through recruitment is to keep an open mind,” Lennon said. “It may not be for everyone, but you never know until you try it.”

5 Things to know about the West Virginia elections CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia voters will decide on Nov. 4 if they’ll shift their historically Democratic state even further right.

The results will show if frustrated voters are willing to lump all Democrats together. Republicans are tying their opponents to President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders in Washington whenever possible.

Obama lost all 55 West Virginia counties and remains unpopular, particularly for energy policies that some fear could further cripple the state’s already-hurting coal industry.

The Mountain State will cast ballots for one U.S. Senate seat, three congressional seats, half of the state Senate and the entire House of Delegates. Republicans in the state

The Chi Omega sorority of West Virginia University hosted a carnival on the Mountainlair Green Sunday to raise money for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

The Chi O Carnival featured many different games, food and prizes for those in attendance. All of the proceeds went to the sorority’s charity, the Make-a-Wish Foundation. They work closely with the Make-a-Wish Foundation to grant wishes and host sendoff and welcome home parties for the children they work with.

Julie Merow, a sophomore public relations student and a member of the sorority, said she thought the carnival went well for its first year.

“I think it is going well so far. I can see it being something that grows every year, too,” Merow said. “We really like doing stuff like this for Make-aWish. We are able to have send-off and welcome home parties for them and it enables us to interact with them directly.”

Merow said she believes events such as the carnival and the ability to work directly with the families makes the philanthropy more personal.

“Instead of having an event, raising money and just sending it off to a certain thing, we kind of use that money and we actually grant their wish,” she said. “We get to meet the kids and their families and see pictures from their trip. It is a lot more interactive and personal than just raising the money.”

Merow said they had welcomed several families to the carnival, which was open to everyone at the University and the Morgantown community.

Jenn Fritschy, a senior nutrition student and member of the sorority, said she came up with the idea for the carnival after attending a national convention where a lot of philanthropy ideas were discussed.

“Ours had just gotten a little old,” Fritschy said. “So I was like, ‘Let’s dream big, go above and beyond and take a risk and see what happens.’ It’s my senior year and I wanted to do something different so I just came up with this idea.”

Fritschy said it was a smooth process working with the University and the Mountainlair, who came out in support of the event as well.

“I started planning it in June and people just loved it and it really blew up,” she said. “The Lair is really excited.

This is the first time that Greek life has come into the entire University and invited everyone to their philanthropy, so it’s really cool and a good thing we are doing here for Make-a-Wish.”

One Make-a-Wish family who attended the event was the Fabiano family, who has worked closely with the sorority for several years.

“To me, it is amazing to see the outpouring of support that we get from not only our regular community, but also the students,” Sandra Fabiano said.

Fabiano’s eight-year-old son, Anthony, was diagnosed with his first brain tumor when he was just nine months old.

“I was unaware that the students did so many activities to give back to our community. This isn’t all we have done. We do the Sorority Olympics each year,” Fabiano said. “I just think it is amazing the different organizations continue to help.”

Fabiano said she is very grateful for the support her family feels through the University.

“I just want to say thank you for everything the students have done and continue to do not just for my family, but for all of the others, as well,” she said.

The carnival raised $1,300 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation and hosted four families from the organization. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

American eating habits begin to improve

A variety of healthy fruits and vegetables are displayed for sale at a market in Washington.

CHICAGO (AP) — Americans’ eating habits have improved — except among the poor, evidence of a widening wealth gap when it comes to diet. Yet even among wealthier adults, food choices remain far from ideal, a 12-year study found.

On an index of healthy eating where a perfect score is 110, U.S. adults averaged just 40 points in 1999-2000, climbing steadily to 47 points in 2009-10, the study found.

Scores for low-income adults were lower than the average and barely budged during the years studied. They averaged almost four points lower than those for high-income adults at the beginning; the difference increased to more than six points in 2009-10.

Higher scores mean greater intake of hearthealthy foods including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, and a high score means a low risk of obesity and chronic illnesses including heart disease, strokes and diabetes.

Low scores mean people face greater chances for developing those ailments.

The widening rich-poor diet gap is disconcerting and “will have important public health implications,� said study co-author Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health. Diet-linked chronic diseases such as diabetes have become more common in Americans in general, and especially in the poor, he noted.

“Declining diet quality over time may actually widen the gap between the poor and the rich,� Hu said.

Harvard School of Public Health researchers developed the healthy diet index used for the study.

It is similar to federal dietary guidelines but features additional categories including red and processed meats, sugarsweetened beverages and alcohol.

The study authors used that index along with government estimates on trans fat intake to evaluate information in 1999-2010 national health surveys that included interviews with people about their eating habits. The results are published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Hu said the widening

diet gap reflects an income gap that deepened during the recent financial crisis, which likely made healthy food less affordable for many people.

Hu also noted that inexpensive highly processed foods are often widely available in low-income neighborhoods.

The overall diet improvement was largely due to decreased intake of foods containing trans fats but the disappointing results point to a need for policy changes including better nutrition education, Hu said.

In recent years the government and manufacturers have moved to phase out use of artificial trans fats in foods including processed cookies, cakes, frozen pizza and margarines. Trans fats contrib-

The study authors say their results are consistent with an earlier report showing that “nearly the entire U.S. population fell short of meeti n g f e d e ra l d i e t a r y recommendations.�

The federal guidelines are updated every five years and new ones will be issued next year. The current recommendations emphasize limiting intake of trans fats, sodium, processed foods and added sugars. They don’t specify amounts but encourage diets high in whole grains, vegetables and fruits.

The Harvard index has

a similar emphasis with some specifics; to get a top score would include eating daily more than two cups of vegetables, at least four servings of fruit and at least one ounce of nuts.

A JAMA Internal Medicine editorial says the Harvard diet index isn’t perfect because it puts equal emphasis on various foods that may not contribute equally to health.

Still, the study highlights a “growing chasm� that is a public health concern, the editorial says. It suggests that government efforts to close the gap with programs including food stamps may be insufficient and that limiting government benefits to cover only healthful foods might be a better strategy.

Obama: ‘Revving’ economy calls for higher wages MILWAUKEE (AP) — President Barack Obama renewed his push for Congress to raise the minimum wage Monday in a buoyant accounting of the economy’s “revving” performance, delivered on behalf of Democrats opening their fall campaigns for the midterm congressional elections.

“America deserves a raise,” he told a union crowd in Milwaukee, vowing to keep a hard sell on Congress in much the way he once courted his wife.

“I just wore her down,” he cracked.

Timing his push to Labor Day, the traditional start of the autumn campaign, Obama aggressively drew attention to recent economic gains, setting aside past caution on that subject.

“By almost every measure the American economy and American workers are better off than when I took office,” he said, rattling off a string of improving economic indicators even while acknowledging not all people are benefiting. “The engines,” he said, “are revving a little louder.”

It was, at least indirectly, a pep talk for Democrats facing tough races in a nation still gripped with economic anxieties.

The emphasis on the minimum wage is designed to draw campaign contrasts with Republicans, many of whom maintain that an increase would hurt small businesses and slow down hiring. No one expects Congress to act on it before the November elections.

Despite the absence of a federal increase, 13 states raised their minimum wages at the beginning of this year. Those states have added jobs at a faster pace than those that did not raise the wage, providing a counterpoint to a Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year that projected that

a higher minimum wage of $10.10 an hour could cost the nation 500,000 jobs.

Until now, Obama and his White House aides had been reluctant to draw too much attention to positive economic trends, worried that some may prove illusory or that, even if they hold, many working Americans continue to live on the edge of poverty and take no comfort in the upswing.

But in Milwaukee, Obama dared to say of the job picture, “We’re on a streak.”

White House aides still insist they are not declaring full victory over the lingering effects of a recession that ended five years ago.

But White House officials believe it is time to highlight recent improvements, in part to strengthen a difficult political environment for Democrats and to counter public perceptions that are eroding the president’s public approval. Officials say Obama’s most compelling case is to compare the economy now to what he inherited in 2009 in the aftermath of a near Wall Street meltdown.

Obama, whose public approval is at about 40 percent, has also been cautious about making appearances in states with close midterm political contests and where his popularity might be even lower.

But in coming to Wisconsin, he brought his Labor Day message to the state that was the epicenter of a fight over the collective bargaining rights of public employees. Labor Secretary Tom Perez and several national labor leaders came with him.

In Wisconsin, Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who pushed through a law that stripped most public sector union members of their ability to collectively bargain, is now in a tight reelection campaign and has been mentioned as a po-

Polls find that Walker and Democrat Mary Burke are deadlocked with the election just over two months away.

Walker was at General Mitchell International Airport to greet Obama upon his arrival in Milwaukee.

Walker also greeted the labor leaders accompanying Obama, including Mary Kay Henry of the Services Employees International Union and Leo Gerard of the United Steelworkers Union.

The White House is encouraging Democrats to draw attention to the recovery as they head into the November mid-term elections.

In an August memo to House and Senate Democrats, Obama’s top two economic advisers underscored the positive news: more than 200,000 jobs created per month for six consecutive months, a six-year high in auto sales, secondquarter economic growth that exceeded expectations and an expanding manu-

facturing sector.

The unemployment rate stands at 6.2 percent, dropping 1.1 points over the past year, and the stock market has nearly tripled in five years.

Even so, there is still significant weakness in the labor market, underscored by the long-term unemployed. Labor participation has dropped. As well, real hourly wages fell from the first half of 2013 to the first half of 2014 for all income groups, except for a 2-cent increase for the low-

ap

est income level, according to the liberal Economic Policy Institute.

Americans seem caught between confidence and worry.

In July, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index rose to its highest reading since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession began. But a new survey by Rutgers University found that Americans are more anxious about the economy now than they were right after the recession ended.

Americans detained in North Korea call for US help PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korea gave foreign media access on Monday to three detained Americans who said they have been able to contact their families and – watched by officials as they spoke – called for Washington to send a high-ranking representative to negotiate for their freedom.

Jeffrey Fowle and Mathew Miller said they expect to face trial within a month. But they said they do not know what punishment they could face or what the specific charges against them are. Kenneth Bae, who already is serving a 15-year term, said his health has deteriorated at the labor camp where he works eight hours a day.

The three were allowed to speak briefly with The Associated Press at a meeting center in Pyongyang. North Korean officials were present during the interviews, conducted separately and in different rooms, but did not censor the questions that were asked. The three said they did not know they were going to be interviewed until immediately beforehand.

All said they believe the only solution to their situation is for a U.S. representative to come to North Korea to make a direct appeal.

That has often been North Korea’s bargaining chip in the past, when senior statesmen including former President Bill Clinton made trips to Pyongyang to secure the release of detainees.

North Korea says Fowle and Miller committed hostile acts which violated their status as tourists. It has announced that authorities are preparing for the trial, but has not announced the date.

In Washington, National Security Council spokesman Patrick Ventrell said, “We have seen the reports of interviews with the three American citizens detained in North Korea.”

“Securing the release of U.S. citizens is a top priority and we have followed these cases closely in the White House,” his statement added. “We continue to do all we can to secure their ear-

North Korea has given foreign media access to three detained Americans who said they have been able to contact their families and watched by officials as they spoke, called for Washington to send a representative to negotiate for their freedom. liest possible release.”

Ventrell noted that the State Department has issued a travel warning recommending against all travel to North Korea for U.S. citizens.

Fowle arrived in North Korea on April 29. He is suspected of leaving a Bible in a nightclub in the northern port city of Chongjin. Christian proselytizing is considered a crime in North Korea.

Fowle, 56, lives in Miamisburg, Ohio, where he works in a city streets department.

He has a wife and three children aged 9, 10, and 12.

“Within a month I could be sharing a jail cell with Ken Bae,” he said, adding that he hasn’t spoken with his family for three weeks. “I’m desperate to get back to them.”

North Korea says Miller,

24, entered the country on April 10 with a tourist visa, but tore it up at the airport and shouted that he wanted to seek asylum.

Miller refused to comment on whether he was seeking asylum.

Bae, a 46-year-old Korean-American missionary, has been held since November 2012. He was moved from a work camp to a hospital because of failing health and weight loss but last month was sent back to the work camp outside of Pyongyang, where he said he does farm-related labor. He said he has lost 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) and has severe back pain, along with a sleep disorder. His family has said his health problems include diabetes, an enlarged

heart, liver problems and back pain.

“The only hope that I have is to have someone from the U.S. come,” he said. “But so far, the latest I’ve heard is that there has been no response yet. So I believe that officials here are waiting for that.”

Bae said he did not realize before the trial that he was violating North Korean law, but refused to go into details.

He said the lead up to his trial lasted about four months, but the trial itself only took about an hour. He said he elected not to have a defense attorney because “at that point there was no sense of me to get a lawyer because the only chance I had was to ask for mercy.”

“It was very quick,” he

said.

Bae’s sister Terri Chung said in a statement released Monday, that she is worried about Bae’s health and wellbeing and she appealed to North Korean officials to show mercy and release her brother.

The U.S. has repeatedly offered to send its envoy for North Korean human rights issues, Robert King, to Pyongyang to seek a pardon for Bae and other U.S. detainees, but without success.

Washington has no diplomatic ties with North Korea and no embassy in Pyongyang. Instead, the Swedish Embassy takes responsibility for U.S. consular affairs.

Fowle and Miller said they have met with the Swedish ambassador and have been allowed to make phone calls to their relatives.

North Korea had made Fowle and Miller available to local staff of The Associated Press previously. That they were allowed to meet the AP again and be interviewed by an American reporter indicates North Korea’s desire to resolve the issue through some sort of contact with Washington.

All three detainees appeared to speak freely but cautiously on Monday.

Bae seemed healthy but appeared to have significant back pain when he tried to sit down.

Fowle appeared to be in good health. He smiled at times, but also said he was scared and desperate. Miller looked very anxious and spoke quietly. He was thin and pale, and was dressed all in black.

Though a small number of U.S. citizens visit North Korea each year as tourists, the State Department strongly advises against it. After Miller’s detention, Washington updated its travel warning to note that over the past 18 months, “North Korea detained several U.S. citizens who were part of organized tours.”

Violations of privacy among Internet users emily torbett columnist @dailyaathenaeum

The Internet is reeling after a massive quantity of nude and risqué photos of celebrities leaked online Sunday. The photos, retrieved from an Apple iCloud hack, appear to be of huge stars such as Jennifer Lawrence, Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, and Kate Upton. They were originally posted on a 4chan message board, but have since been shared all over the web and comprise some of Google’s most searched for photos.

Spokespeople for Lawrence and Upton have confirmed their photos’ authenticity, while Ariana Grande and Victoria Justice have claimed their alleged photos are fake.

The original 4chan user who posted them on a message board claimed to only be releasing a few of the massive collection of photos and videos he had of dozens of celebrities, promising to release more in exchange for users sending him a digital currency called bitcoins.

Many have criticized the celebrities, claiming nothing is private in the Internet age, and if they didn’t want their photos seen by everyone, they shouldn’t have taken them in the first place.

Before looking down on these celebrities, everyone should keep in mind that the women affected

On the other hand, a multimillion dollar PRT project means that money has to come from somewhere. Cuts had to be made, and those cuts were on other aspects of WVU’s transportation system, such as the buses.

The buses used to operate as a two-part system, meaning barring any accidents or icy roads (two issues that are, admittedly, quite common at WVU), your scheduled wait time was a manageable 15 to 20 minutes.

But with the budget cuts for a PRT system many of us will never get the opportunity to utilize WVU’s Towers to Life Sciences line, AKA one of the most heavily-used bus lines in the entire University, has been cut to just one bus.

So not only is the wait time doubled for those anxiously awaiting the opportunity to go to class, but this lone bus is so heavily used by students that often it is too full to pick up the passengers it would have had the capacity to hold during the twobus system.

On top of all this is the fact that, when the PRT inevitably fails us all and students scramble to make

their way to their classes on another campus, the bus system will be even more of a failure than it already is because students have no other option than to go to a class that they pay, on average, $80 to attend.

That’s $80 the University is pulling out of our pockets. That’s $80 we lose each time we are forced to skip class because the University couldn’t manage to find another way to minimize transportation issues on a campus that is renowned for having multiple and distant campuses.

With the massive influx of students WVU sees every year, one would think the school would have its ducks in a row and have a more reliable – or even semi-reliable – transportation system. We have a renowned engineering program. We have a fantastic student union. There are wonderful facilities at the Rec Center, as well as the new Student Health Building.

But all of these benefits mean absolutely nothing if students don’t have a reliable way to get there. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

ACROSS THE US

Your guide to getting published in college dar Review, and The Blue Route: A National Literary Magazine for Undergraduate Writers, all of which accept submissions from students across the nation.

4. Academic and Research Journals.

If you have a really wellwritten essay you penned for a class and think it’s publishable, there are numerous academic journals that accept and publish essays and papers students have written for courses.

Different journals accept different kinds of submissions, from English essays to psychology research papers to powerful artwork.

Many journals tend to only accept papers written for English or Comparative Literature classes so make sure that your essay follows whatever guidelines and subject matter the journal demands.

Check out the Lethbridge Undergraduate Research Journal, the SURJ: Stanford Undergraduate Research Journal, The Pittsburgh Undergraduate Review, and the UCB Comparative Literature Undergraduate Journal.

5. Essay Contests.

While most people think essay contests are just for high schoolers or scholarships, there are essay contests for college students, too. Ask your English professor or get in touch with the English department at your school to find out about contests you can submit your work to.

6. Blogs.

One of the simplest ways to get published while in college is to either start your own blog, apply to write for a blogging platform, or submit guest blogs to an existing site.

Creating a blog is easy and free through websites like WordPress and Blogger (the free blogging tool from Google) and there’s no pressure as far as how often you post and on what subject matters.

You can write anything on your blog and publish right away without your work needing to be reviewed or accepted. If you don’t want to start your own blog, or want to publish elsewhere besides your personal one, you can write for a pre-existing blog, like Uloop.

So if you’re interested in getting published while you’re in college, start with one of these options. Before submitting your work to any publications, ask a professor (or English major friend) to read over your work and give you constructive criticism, and reach out to faculty and advisors within the English department at your school for help as you go about trying to get published.

Don’t get discouraged either if a publication passes on your work; writing is personal and everyone has their own style. Try different avenues to getting published and see which one works best for you and your craft.

Inquiries begin into nude celebrity photo leak

airstalk.com

Jennifer Lawrence was one of the celebrities who had their photos leaked.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The FBI said Monday it was addressing allegations that online accounts of several celebrities, including Oscarwinner Jennifer Lawrence, had been hacked, leading to the posting of their nude photographs online.

The agency did not say what actions it was taking to investigate who was responsible for posting naked photos of Lawrence and other stars. Apple said Monday it was looking into whether its online photo-sharing service had been hacked to obtain the intimate images.

Lawrence, a three-time Oscar nominee who won for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook,” contacted authorities after the images began appearing Sunday.

Naked images purporting

to be of other female stars were also posted, although the authenticity of many couldn’t be confirmed.

The source of the leak was unclear.

“This is a flagrant violation of privacy,” Lawrence’s publicist Liz Mahoney wrote in a statement. “The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”

The FBI said it was “aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”

“Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time,” spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wrote in a statement.

Apple Inc. spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said the company was investigating whether any iCloud accounts had been tampered with, but she did not give any further details.

“We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report,” she said.

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead also confirmed that nude photos of her were posted online.

“To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves,” Winstead posted on Twitter. Winstead, who starred in “Final Destination 3” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” wrote that she thought the images had

been destroyed.

“Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this,” Winstead wrote.

The FBI has investigated previous leaks of nude celebrity images, including leaks involving Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and footage of television sports reporter Erin Andrews in a Tennessee hotel room. Those cases resulted in convictions.

How widespread the hacking of celebrities photos was is not immediately clear. Some of the images were quickly denounced as fakes.

Some cybersecurity experts speculated that hackers may have obtained a cache of private celebrity

images by exploiting weaknesses in an online imagestoring platform.

“It is important for celebrities and the general public to remember that images and data no longer just reside on the device that captured it,” security researcher Ken Westin wrote in a blog post Monday. “Once images and other data are uploaded to the cloud, it becomes much more difficult to control who has access to it, even if we think it is private.”

Private information and images of celebrities are frequent targets for hackers. Last year, a site posted credit reports, Social Security numbers and other financial info on celebrities, including Jay Z and his wife Beyonce, Mel Gibson,

Ashton Kutcher and many others.

Johansson, Kunis and Aguilera were hacked by a Florida man, Christopher Chaney, who used publicly available information to hack into the email accounts of more than 50 people in the entertainment industry.

“I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed,” Johansson said in a tearful videotaped statement played in court at Chaney’s sentencing in December 2012.

“That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy,” Aguilera wrote in a statement before Chaney’s sentencing.

David Muir takes over at ABC’s “World News” Artists enliven LA’s Made in America Fest NEW YORK (AP) — Among the stories David Muir will introduce during his first week as ABC’s “World News” anchor is one he reported about a generation of Syrian refugees missing out on an education.

Besides detailing a hidden aspect of the civil war, the story serves a dual purpose: to signal viewers and his bosses - that Muir wants to get out of the office for work as much as he can.

“A huge part of this for me was a promise that I was not going to be tethered to the anchor desk,” said Muir, who officially replaces Diane Sawyer Monday night.

Muir, 40, joins NBC “Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams and Scott Pelley of the “CBS Evening News” at one of the three jobs generally considered the pinnacle of American broadcast news. Muir is also a generation younger than the 55-year-old Williams and Pelley, 57.

Already a familiar face as “World News” weekend anchor and Sawyer’s sub on weeknights, Muir has groomed himself for the job since he was a child.

As a latchkey child of divorced parents growing up near Syracuse, N.Y., Muir took comfort from the news

“family” that appeared on his television each evening. He watched ABC’s Peter Jennings, trying to guess who would be named “person of the week.” At age 12, he wrote to Syracuse anchorman Ron Curtis for advice on how to get in the business and had an internship at WTVH-TV by the next summer.

Muir became so familiar that the newsroom had a spot on the wall to mark how much he’d grown each year. When he was still at nearby Ithaca College, WTVH hired Muir to anchor the weekend news.

After five years at WTVH, he moved on to Boston and, in 2003, came to ABC News.

Hurricane Katrina was one of the first places his work attracted attention.

“All of the elements of being a news anchor he does superbly,” said David Westin, the ABC News president who hired Muir.

He shows versatility in reporting, interviewing and working in the studio, he said.

Network anchors traveling to stories used to be more commonplace, and when Westin appointed Bob Woodruff and Elizabeth Vargas to replace Jen-

nings a decade ago, it was on the theory that at least one would be on the road regularly. It has become less frequent, in part due to costs. Muir considers the reporting an important part of his identity and, he believes, what viewers expect of him.

“The evening news is evolving rapidly, and I think we have to be extraordinarily nimble,” he said.

The dinnertime newscasts have been shadowed by predictions of their demise for about as long as Muir has been working. But each has seen its viewership increase over the past year. Muir, who frequently tweets during commercial breaks, said the programs’ abilities to sum up the day’s most important stories is valuable at a time people are bombarded with information.

Andrew Tyndall, a consultant who monitors the content of evening newscasts, said “World News” tends to be faster-paced with a higher story count when Muir is anchor. Muir resists the notion that he packs the broadcast with more material, but said he wants to keep some things short so more important stories have room

to breathe.

Muir will start “World News” with a new executive producer, Almin Karamehmedovic, who he said shares “a thirst to travel the world.”

It’s difficult to judge at the start where a new anchor will take a broadcast.

Westin likened it to a president appointing a new Supreme Court justice - the person may not turn out as liberal or conservative as was initially thought.

Tyndall’s name is mud at ABC because of a report last winter criticizing the “Disneyfication” of “World News,” specifically a greater emphasis on consumer and entertainment news at the expense of global concerns.

“When I see reports like that or words like that, I think of the moment when I’m standing in Tahrir Square with a producer and photographer and Mubarak’s men come charging in on their horses with their whips,” Muir said. “Or when we were in Mogadishu and were fired upon by forces linked to Al Qaida.”

He added, “I’d be very hard-pressed to tell them that what we’re doing out there is ‘soft.’”

English arrested for driving under the influence SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Celebrity chef Todd English, who has opened restaurants around the country and written multiple cookbooks, was arrested Sunday on a charge of driving while intoxicated, authorities said.

Police in Southampton said English was arrested Sunday morning on a county road on Long Island.

He made a court appearance later in the day, and authorities said he posted $1,500 bail.

The circumstances of the arrest were unavailable.

English’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., said they “adamantly deny the allegations” and “look forward to

addressing this matter in a court of law.”

The chef, whose full name is William Todd English, is the creative force behind a number of restaurants around the country, including Olives, Figs and Fish Club. He also has been a regular on television programs including “Iron Chef USA.” English has written several cookbooks and has been honored by the James Beard Foundation for excellence and achievement in cuisine.

In September 2009, his former fiancee was charged with assault, and authorities accused her of hitting him with a metal wrist watch.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A new outdoor music festival in downtown Los Angeles reflected the city’s diversity with a lineup that included rap, rock, punk, blues and Latin music. Kanye West, Cypress Hill, Weezer, Rise Against, John Mayer and Juanes were among Sunday’s performers.

“This whole place is full of good, loving people,” Mayer told the crowd from the Budweiser Made in America festival’s main stage.

The two-day concert, held simultaneously with a sister show in Philadelphia, featured more than 30 acts. Iggy Azalea, Metric, Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons took the stage Saturday in Los Angeles. The Philadelphia festival included performers such as Kings of Leon, Tiesto and Pharrell Williams. West and DJ Steve Aoki performed in both cities.

More than 37,000 people attended the Los Angeles festival’s second day in downtown’s Grand Park - the first time the two-year-old park has been used for a large, ticketed event. Authorities made 59 arrests Sunday - including four for narcotics-related felonies - and cited 67 others for alcohol-related offenses, Los Angeles Police spokesman Lt. Andy Neiman said. Nearly 50 people were treated for alcohol-related problems and released, and three others were taken to a hospital for treatment, he added.

But the music, food and festive atmosphere were the stars at LA’s inaugural Made in America festival. Here’s a look: MUSIC: Kanye brought the house down with a dramatic hour-long set to close out the concert. He commanded the stage alone, donning two different spangled face masks and injecting a bit of his trademark ranting into his abbreviated performance. “I know there’s more people that love me than hate me,” he insisted. Mayer brought the day’s folksy blues, playing several of his hits, along with a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s “All Along the

Watchtower.” Juanes did almost his entire set in Spanish, inspiring Latin dance moves throughout the audience.

Weezer delivered their feelgood rock, along with news of a new album in October and a preview of its first single.

Rise Against brought slamdancing punk. Los Angeles natives Cypress Hill played their 20-year-old tunes to an enthusiastically receptive crowd. Singer B-Real smoked an enormous joint onstage before urging California voters to “legalize it.”

Mayor Eric Garcetti, who championed the Made in America event and fasttracked it through city approvals, appeared onstage during Aoki’s misplaced set Sunday night. The mayor said nothing, while Aoki repeatedly implored the crowd to “make some noise.”

In a statement Monday the mayor praised organizers and city departments for making sure the event “went off in an orderly and safe manner.”

“We showed LA can do big things for our economy and people’s enjoyment,” Garcetti said.

Saturday’s highlights included a sexy performance

by Iggy Azalea that featured rump-shaking dancers and a surprise appearance by Rita Ora; a hit-packed set by Sublime with Rome, whose singer sounds eerily similar to Sublime’s late former frontman Bradley Nowell; and a rousing performance

by LA’s own Kendrick Lamar.

FOOD: Gourmet food trucks were stationed on the streets that span and surround Grand Park. Hungry concertgoers could choose from Thai, Argentinian, Greek, Japanese, Korean and American grub. There were also ice cream cookie sandwiches, churros and shave ice. Unfortunately, lines stretched more than 20 diners long at most trucks. Budweiser brews were available at various beer gardens onsite for $14 a cup. No liquor was sold, but plenty of empty airplane-sized booze bottles dotted the festival grounds.

‘If I Stay’ hits home for audiences Dreama Elliott Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

««««« « “If I Stay” is an amazing tear-jerker that is more effective because of the talented Chloë Grace Moretz.

The movie is based on the best-selling book with the same name by Gayle Forman.

Moretz plays Mia Hall, a young cellist waiting to get her acceptance letter from The Juilliard School.

The movie showed the accident that caused Mia to fall into a coma and the death of her immediate family.

The film shows flashbacks of her memories leading up to the accident. These flashbacks allow the audience to piece together Mia’s life and her relationships.

In the movie, Mia had an out-of-body experience and watched all of the actions that happened around her. She followed characters around as though she might be able to get them to see or hear her as she tried to figure out her final decision to “stay or go.”

Her boyfriend, Adam Wilde (Jamie Blackley), tried his hardest to be by her side.

As the movie continues, audiences find themselves falling in love with Adam and Mia as they go through rough patches.

This movie is guaranteed to make you cry, if not from the heartbreak of the romantic relationship between Adam and Mia, then from watching the pain a family goes through as they lose loved ones.

“If I Stay” pulls at your

Their relationship is relatable because Adam is infatuated with Mia when the film begins. However, she is insecure in the relationship.

Their love is proven to be pure and worth fighting for. Mia does exactly that thoughout the movie – she fights.

The relationship between the young couple is tested through minor trials with jealousy and a lack of trust.

Throughout the movie, the relationship slowly falls apart. After the accident, audiences see how she clings to the simple wishes she had before her coma.

We see Mia’s memory of when she asked Adam why he’s never written a song about her. He responded that he can’t write about what makes him happy. This brings out a range of emotions for the audience.

Cecily Flight, an international studies student and member of the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles, has made livening up the PRT her goal.

Flight said she wants a mural painted on the Beechurst PRT station.

“We were talking about wanting to raise student well-being and sustainability of West Virginia culture and we thought it would be a great idea to make a mural,” Flight said.

Flight and Gerardo Valera, the lead artist of the project and fellow CARP member, went to the Student Government Association to seek help in presenting the idea to the administration.

“They came up to me about it and I said, ‘That’s a great idea,’” said Jonathan Riseberg, a sports management student and executive

director of the arts for SGA. SGA brought the idea to the administration and so far the response has been positive. “(President Gordon) Gee loved it. The one question was how to get money (to fund the project),” Riseberg said.

Flight said her priority now is to work out the financial details of the project.

She said she is working to raise $1,000 to match what the administration is willing to put toward the project.

This money will go toward touch-ups for the mural.

Riseberg said they are approaching student organizations to ask for donations, and so far, he has been promised two checks. $100 donation slots are still up for grabs, Riseberg said.

The value of getting support from student organizations has more effects than raising finances.

Riseberg said students will feel invested in this project, and said the mural will be painted and paid for by the students.

“We want to incorporate students and make it completely all about students,” Flight said.

“We chose the Beechurst PRT station because it’s on the main campus and it’s something that everyone sees,” Flight said. “We’d get a lot of exposure with the art.”

Riseberg said the mural will also show students not directly involved with the arts the power it can hold in a community.

“Seeing the arts around

Flight said the mural will inspire students to have more pride in West Virginia and said she wants it to have a similar impact to the one Woodburn has had on the student body.

‘BoJack Horseman’ is a success for Netflix Westley Thompson a&e WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

««««« Netflix has exploded beyond what anyone thought possible when it was founded in 1997. It has become much more than a video streaming service, now touting two critically acclaimed original series.

Its highly successful dramas, “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black,” have captivated fans across the country. Now, Netflix looks to further expand into the comedy-loving crowd.

“BoJack Horseman” is Netflix’s attempt to appeal to fans of cartoons and humor, and it’s quite a successful one. Though season one was released only a week ago, the show has already

been renewed for a second season.

“BoJack Horseman” follows an anthropomorphic horse named BoJack. During the 1990s, BoJack (voiced

by Will Arnett) was the star of a wildly successful sitcom called Horsing Around.

Now, he is a washed up C-list celebrity trying to deal with life.

The show is certainly a little bizarre due to animals and humans interacting with each

other as equals. This strange phenomenon is never explained, but only serves to add more humor to the show.

It also allows the show’s writers to use clever animal wordplay while writing jokes.

In each episode, BoJack suffers through the normal trials every washed-up celebrity faces, including selfloathing, drug and alcohol abuse and the desire to recapture his 1990s fame.

The heavy themes are handled quite humorously and it’s easy to laugh at BoJack for the troubles he seemingly brings upon himself.

As with any successful comedy, the success of the show isn’t carried by one great character. BoJack is surrounded by a hilarious cast of characters, each with their own wellcrafted personalities and stories.

BoJack’s stoner roommate, Todd, voiced by Aaron Paul of “Breaking Bad,” often finds himself in too deep with Los Angeles’ celebrity and drug cultures.

Diane (Alison Brie) is BoJack’s ghost writer, an intellectual who often finds it awkward to cope with the insanity surrounding

ign.com

Bojack Horseman is voiced by Will Arnett.

BoJack.

Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris), a cat BoJack has an on-again-off-again relationship with, is perhaps the funniest character. She is also BoJack’s agent.

Carolyn is a clear parody of the ship-jumping and superficial backstabbing that most outsiders assume exists in the world of celebrities.

Much like “South Park” and “Family Guy,” “BoJack Horseman” uses its humor to speak of pressing societal issues. As it parodies celebrity culture and Hollywood, it raises thought-provoking

points. “BoJack” shows how our celebrity-obsessed culture affects those living in it.

For example, one episode features BoJack reconnecting with Sarah Lynn, a child star who got her start on BoJack’s sitcom.

After Lynn played the adorable Sabrina on “Horsing Around,” she followed the predictable path of becoming an innocent pop singer. Then, a more sexually promiscuous pop-singer.

And finally, a burnt-out addict.

While watching the episode, you’re laughing the whole time, but it also makes you wonder, are we responsible for our celebrities’ downfall?

“BoJack Horseman” is a hilarious new cartoon. Like other adult cartoons, it’s clearly not meant for children.

Its fresh and clever writing, excellent cast of characters and intelligent satirical qualities make it an instant classic.

Be sure to watch the first season on Netflix. I’ll be rewatching the episodes and waiting for season two to arrive. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Timberwolves have record week after trading Love

ap photo

Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders said he is looking forward to an exciting 2014-15 season.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The Minnesota Timberwolves haven’t made the playoffs in 10 years and just traded the face of their franchise so he can go chase a championship with LeBron James in Cleveland.

Kevin Love is gone now, and yet somehow the Timberwolves have parlayed that into a record-setting week at the box office.

After completing the long-rumored trade that sent Love to the Cavaliers and brought Andrew Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and Thaddeus Young to Minnesota, the Timberwolves have sold more than 300 full season-ticket packages in the last week.

That beats the previous record in 2011 that was set when Ricky Rubio announced that he was coming over from Spain to play for the team.

“The organization, from

president-level on down has just been re-energized,” Timberwolves senior vice president and chief revenue officer Ryan Tanke said. “Part of it is hope, and you have this great new hope.

“But then there’s also the reality, which is it was a long, tough summer. For it to come to the head that it came to and have it be the outcome that we had, I think it creates this perfect storm environment for us.”

The front office and players weren’t the only ones stuck in limbo this summer because of an NBA rule that prevented the blockbuster trade from being consummated until 30 days after Wiggins signed his contract.

The Timberwolves’ sales staff had to sit on its collective hands and wait for the official announcement to come before reaching out

to fans to beef up a seasonticket base that dropped from 7,400 for the 2013-14 season to fewer than 6,000 this summer.

Sales representatives were barred from discussing the trade with inquiring fans and the team certainly could not advertise the wholesale changes that were coming.

“I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a really challenging summer for our sales staff,” Tanke said. “When you don’t have the story to tell, you have to go to painstaking lengths to make sure they don’t tell a story and stay off of rumors.

We’re unable to talk about that stuff so your challenge is compounded when you can’t even talk about it.”

As last Saturday – the first day that Wiggins was allowed to be traded – got closer and closer, more reports started to come out

that the deal was going to happen.

Still unable to confirm anything officially, the Wolves still did start to see some momentum build.

They sold 200 full seasonticket packages in the three weeks leading up to the announcement, with fans growing more and more confident that the deal was a matter of when, not if.

And when the announcement finally did come down, well, the staff Wigged out. An army of 50 sales representatives wore brightly colored wigs to the office on Saturday morning to celebrate, and they started hitting the phones.

The players were unveiled at the Minnesota State Fair on Tuesday, drawing large crowds wherever they went. The Wolves also set a new fiveday record with 500,000 page views and 200,000 vis-

itors to timberwolves.com.

“I can’t hardly get 20 steps without someone stopping me and saying, ‘Hey Mr. Taylor, we’re really excited about your team,’” owner Glen Taylor said at the fair. “So I see the enthusiasm among our fans to watch these players. Now, maybe it will be a dunk contest here for a while, but, we certainly have some athletic young men.”

And even though the second-best player in franchise history was departing, the deal has been met warmly by fans thanks to the promise of Wiggins, a sensation since his high school days who spent one season at Kansas.

Bennett was the No. 1 overall pick in 2013 and Young is a well-regarded veteran forward that has given some the impression that this isn’t just the lat-

est in a long line of restarts that have come since Kevin Garnett was traded in 2007.

“We’ve been talking about it this week. Why does this feel so much different?” Tanke said. “You hope another deal works out or a trade for Kevin Garnett, you hope it works out. For this one, for whatever reason, both internally and externally with the sentiment of the fans, everybody truly believes this one is going to work out.”

Timberwolves President Chris Wright, who has been with the franchise for 23 seasons, put the reaction from the fans on par with some of the biggest moments in the franchise’s history.

“This certainly is definitively up there,” Wright said. “The reaction of the marketplace has been very comparable to those moments in time.”

In the NFL, imitation is often a form of flattery

NFL executive vice president of football operations Vincent Troy recognizes that trends always will be a part of the sport.

NEW YORK (AP) – Troy Vincent pounds his fists on a conference room table and smiles.

“We are a copycat league, you bet,” he says.

“If Peyton and Philip and Brees and Brady are doing something that’s good, then go out and try to do the same thing.”

Easier said than done if you don’t have such star quarterbacks, but Vincent’s point is well taken.

The NFL’s head of football operations, a star player for 15 pro seasons and former president of the players’ union, recognizes that

trends always will be a part of the sport.

Some burst on the scene and then fade quickly: the wildcat or alternating QBs, for example. Others – the zone blitz, the nickel back – have staying power.

In 2014, there will be plenty of plagiarism between the lines, on the sidelines, in the coaching boxes and even in the marketing departments.

NO HUDDLES: The nohuddle offense has been a part of pro football since John Unitas pretty much invented the two-minute drill. It normally was re-

served for late portions of halves and games.

It’s running rampant through the league now, its popularity buoyed by the record-smashing seasons Peyton Manning and Tom Brady recently put together.

Super Bowl-winning quarterback Phil Simms, now an analyst for CBS, says it’s here to stay.

“Faster offense will be a part of the NFL,” Simms says. “What was a talented offense from 10 years ago is so much less so now because it is harder to run the ball.”

Simms believes teams will pass more than ever, combining that with the no-huddle.

“We’ll be seeing out of these offenses all these screens, trying to tire out key defensive players,” he explains. “That’s a matchup the offenses can win, and it is almost a must by an NFL offense to have.”

Simms says offenses need to do something different because, “you won’t win 17-13 anymore in the playoffs.

“And what’s unique?

Well, go as fast as you can.”

PLAY CALLING: Rich Gannon, the NFL’s 2002 MVP while leading the Raiders to the Super Bowl, thinks the faster pace will affect the ones calling plays.

The traditional system of relaying a play or formations from the coordinators to the quarterbacks or defensive leaders is endangered, Gannon predicts. So is a quarterback calling just one play.

“Years ago, offensive coordinators were trying to guess right,” says Gannon, now an analyst for SiriusXM NFL Radio and for CBS. “They would find a set of plays based on preparation during the week and on their knowledge of the percentage defenses did certain things.”

That’s changed, he says, and modern offenses need a quarterback who can adjust on the line.

Denver, New England, New Orleans, Green Bay, a few others – they don’t have to worry.

Other teams will continue searching for a quarterback who has a great arm and the intelligence to make the right call while the play clock is ticking.

“We’ll be seeing quarterbacks calling multiple plays in the huddle.

When they get to the line,

they use the play that fits,” Gannon says. “It’s not an audible, but it’s the quarterbacks being given the freedom they need to get into the right play.”

TECHNOLOGY: “There is only so much you can do differently on the field,” Vincent reasons. “So who gets the edge might depend on who is willing to let technology become a positive.”

While the league is allowing teams to use tablets on the sideline for everything from play calling to reviewing what just happened, not everyone is readily embracing it. He senses that some coaches entrenched in the past might not make a smooth switch.

Until, that is, they recognize that an oppo-

nent is getting a competitive advantage from the technology.

“We’ve seen things copied through the years, from traditional lineups to the run-and-shoot to the zone blitz to the wildcat,” Vincent says. “Now it will be in technology, sorting through information quicker, using it for practices, schedules, scouting.”

ELSEWHERE: Teams are learning from each other when it comes to such areas as in-game entertainment – player introductions, cheerleaders, game day hosts, even the music – merchandising, ticketing and stadium development. A club planning a new home or renovating the existing one typically uses comparisons of other stadiums.

Trickett exceeds expectations in season opener

nick holstein/the daily athenaeum

Redshirt senior QB Clint Trickett throws a pass during the Alabama game Saturday.

by connor murray sports editor @connorkmurray

Throughout the offseason and fall camp, one of the biggest question marks about this West Virginia team was how the Mountaineer offense would look being led by a healthy Clint Trickett with a year of experience in Dana Holgorsen’s offense under his belt.

The redshirt senior quarterback answered that question in emphatic style against the No. 2 team in the nation Saturday. “I was happy with Clint. I thought he played well. He competed well. He knew where to go with the ball,�

Holgorsen said.

Trickett ran Holgorsen’s up-tempo offensive scheme with an air of confidence, leading the Mountaineer of-

fense up and down the field – at will at times – against Nick Saban’s vaunted Crimson Tide defense.

Since Saban began this era of dominance at Alabama in 2007, just two quarterbacks have thrown for more than 350 yards in a game against the Crimson Tide defense.

Clint Trickett became the second quarterback to accomplish that feat Saturday, completing 29 of 45 passes for 365 yards and a touchdown. “He took care of the ball.

He spread the ball around. I thought the ball went to the right place the majority of the time,� said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson.

Despite an overall positive performance, West Virginia had its chances to win this game, and Trickett missed some opportunities

in key situations that could have pushed the Mountaineers over the top.

As the saying goes, quarterbacks get too much of the credit in victory and too much of the blame in defeat. “He got a little bit antsy back there at times and missed some throws, but when you’re looking at what he’s looking at, that’s going to happen. They’re obviously pretty good defensively and do a good job of getting to the quarterback.

Overall, I’m happy with him,� Holgorsen said.

West Virginia had little to no trouble driving the ball against the Alabama defense in the first half. When the Mountaineers were knocking at the doorstep in the red zone, however, their progress came to a halt.

Trailing 30-20 early in the fourth quarter, Trickett led

West Virginia down to the Alabama five-yard line. On first-and-goal, he missed a wide open target, running back Elijah Wellman, who could have walked into the end zone and cut the Tide’s lead to three. “There were a couple of times where we didn’t execute well at the quarterback position, but you’re not going to execute every single play 100-percent of the time,� Dawson said.

Two plays later, a shotgun snap sailed over Trickett’s head, and West Virginia was forced to settle for a 41yard field goal from Josh Lambert.

On Alabama’s ensuing drive, quarterback Blake Sims was intercepted by sophomore safety Daryl Worley. The Mountaineers were set up with good field position and had a

chance to tie the game with a touchdown.

Despite having all the momentum, West Virginia’s offense fizzled and went threeand-out, giving the ball right back to the Tide. That turned out to be the last chance the Mountaineers would have to tie the game, as Alabama kicked a field goal to bring its lead to 33-23. “We did a good job of responding to adversity, but we didn’t capitalize when we should have, like when Daryl had the pick. We could have easily driven down there and scored. We just went three and out,� Trickett said.

Trickett showcased the kind of fight throughout this game that can inspire a team to pull off an upset.

However, key mistakes in critical situations cost the Mountaineers a chance to

shock the nation in the season opener. “We really had the confidence in there that we were going to compete. We were going to try and win this game. It was a great opportunity to win, and we didn’t come through. It was frustrating,� Trickett said.

If he can remain healthy moving forward, Trickett figures to only become more and more comfortable in Holgorsen and Dawson’s offensive scheme. Dawson said the foundation has been laid for Trickett to continue to progress in his senior season. “I’m proud of Clint – his attitude, the way he played – we’ve got a lot to build on. That kid is talented, and we’ve got to keep developing him,� he said. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Women’s Soccer

Mountaineers shutout Elon at home by ethan rohrbaugh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 13 West Virginia University women’s soccer team rebounded from a loss in its home opener by defeating Elon 2-0 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium Sunday.

The Mountaineers (2-2) controlled the pace of the game from opening kick and ended the bout with a dominant stat line, including a 27-1 shot discrepancy in favor of the home team. “I’ll take that any day,�

said senior forward Kate Schwindel. “Now it’s just about getting more shots in the net.�

A staggering 21 of those shots came in the first half, but it wasn’t until a foul committed by an Elon (13) defender in the box that WVU was able to find the back of the net. It came in the 45th minute when senior defender Jess Crowder stepped up to take the penalty kick, knocking it past the first of three keepers that would see action for the visitors.

It was the first goal of

Crowder’s career on a day in which Mountaineer goalkeeper Hannah Steadman pitched her first collegiate shutout. Steadman, the junior transfer from Tennessee, was starting in just her fourth game in the college ranks and only had to face one shot to secure the first clean sheet of her career. “I knew that I had to come in and get that clean sheet today,� Steadman said. “It’s definitely a confidence booster for myself.�

WVU started off the second half again looking very much in control, creat-

The goal came after a series of fine passing by the Mountaineers, as junior midfielder Cari Price connected with junior forward Kailey Utley. After weaving through the Elon defense, Utley fired a cross in to Schwindel, who was there for the finish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our back line played better, we were more composed, and we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forcing anything,â&#x20AC;? Steadman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Getting this win) was important for us. Especially on a Sunday after playing a hard 90 minutes against Duke, to come out and physically put everything into it and mentally put everything into it, to come out with a

shutout was good.â&#x20AC;?

The Mountaineers dropped their home opener to Duke, 2-0, Friday night.

The win on Sunday kept WVU from falling too far in the national rankings, only sliding down two spots from No. 11.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown said these first four games have given her a â&#x20AC;&#x153;really good understanding of where this team is.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that every day and every opportunity that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re together we get better,â&#x20AC;? Izzo-Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, just the opportunity to understand what players can do in different situations is really important, and hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be more effective as we move along in the

season.â&#x20AC;?

As for the 27 shot offensive display her team put on Sunday, Izzo-Brown said she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as pleased as you might think. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coaches, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re nuts,â&#x20AC;?

Izzo-Brown said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never satisfied. The crazy part about soccer is that anything can happen. (That many) shots and two goals, no coach is really happy about that, but we found enough to win.â&#x20AC;?

WVU will be back in action on the home pitch this weekend, as the team plays host to the 90 Minute Classic. The Mountaineers first game of the Classic will kick off at 7 p.m. Friday as they take on Hofstra. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Positives following loss

andrew spellman/the daily athenaeum

WVU drops its 2014 season opener to No. 2 Alabama at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, 33-23.

Trickett, West Virginia come up short against No. 2 Alabama by connor murray sports editor @connorkmurray

West Virginia almost made its bid for upset of the year in the season opener, but a failure to execute in key situations cost the Mountaineers dearly in a 33-23 loss to No. 2 Alabama.

Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s pushed the Crimson Tide to the brink, but when it mattered the most, Alabama made the plays to win the game, while West Virginia faltered.

“I was proud of how we fought. We were ready to play. We felt like we could come in and give them a good game and put ourselves in position to have a chance to win,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“When that happens

you’ve got to make critical plays in critical situations.

You’ve got to make critical calls in critical situations and you need to have a little bit more success than we had tonight.”

Senior quarterback Clint Trickett led the West Virginia offense up and down the field Saturday, throwing for 365 yards and a touchdown against the vaunted Crimson Tide defense.

It was a different story when the Mountaineers got inside Alabama’s 30yard line. West Virginia was forced to settle for field goals instead of finding the end zone.

“I think we did a good job of moving the ball in the open field, but at some point you’ve got to be able to convert those into touchdowns. We didn’t do a very

good job of that,” Holgorsen said.

“Whether that was play calls or whatever it was, we’ll look at it, and we’ll get better because of it.”

Coming into the season there were questions about how Trickett would perform with a year of experience under his belt and good health. Those questions were answered Saturday.

“The comfort level was obviously better than it has been. It’s nice to be able to signal things once and be able to communicate with him as far as what we’re wanting on the sidelines without having to scream it at him or call timeout,” Holgorsen said.

“We’re going to continue to get better offensively. His rapport with the receivers is

going to improve.”

Trickett’s main target Saturday was senior wide receiver Kevin White. White hauled in nine catches for 143 yards and a touchdown.

“That’s exactly who he is. That’s what we’re going to see from him this whole season. He’s a hell of a player,” Trickett said.

While West Virginia’s offense had plenty of success moving the ball, so did Alabama’s. The Tide churned out three touchdown drives of 70 yards or more, including a 14-play, 95 yard drive that took 6:57 off the clock in the first quarter.

Senior quarterback Blake Sims completed 24 of 33 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown in his first career start, but the Tide won this game on the ground.

T.J. Yeldon and Derrick

Henry combined for 245 of Alabama’s 288 total rushing yards. Henry found the end zone once, while Yeldon tallied a pair of touchdowns.

The potent ground attack allowed Alabama to control the clock. The Tide held the ball for 37:47 and ran 82 plays in the game, compared to West Virginia’s 69.

“That’s our fault. We couldn’t stop them when we needed to,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.

Alabama converted nine of 16 third down attempts, extending drives and making West Virginia’s defense work throughout the game.

“If you can’t get off the field on third down, you’re not going to win many football games,” Gibson said. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

men’s soccer

WVU dominates Oakland at home by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia men’s soccer team scored three goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half in Monday’s afternoon match against Oakland, winning 4-1.

The Mountaineers are now 2-0 on the season.

“Anytime you win, you gain confidence,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “Certainly if we lose or tie, some guys will doubt themselves. Every game we’re able to score as many goals as we did with the results we wanted, I think they’ll find their confidence continuing to rise. When you score four goals and win two games at home, the fans will come back. I’m looking over my shoulder now and I’m seeing six of my guys get some extra work in. That’s confidence because they want to get in and play too. That’s good to see.”

Oakland (0-1) scored the first goal of the game on a free kick by Gavin Hoy in the 15th minute.

The Mountaineers responded 10 minutes later off the foot of freshman midfielder Jad Arsian for his first goal of the season. Joey Piatczyc also notched his first assist of 2014.

“We just did a much better job in the second half of controlling (the ball),” LeBlanc said. “We were a little more clinical in the final third of the game.”

WVU outshot Oakland 6-4 after the first 45 minutes.

But the flood gates opened following the intermission, and a 1-1 tie was a 4-1 WVU lead by the 54th minute. Piatczyc again assisted on Andy Bevin’s header in the 50th minute, and Jamie Merriam scored his second goal of 2014 in the 53rd minute. Arslan scored his second goal of the game in the 54th minute off assists from freshman defender Louis Thomas and Bevin.

The Mountaineers won the shot battle 15-10 with nine of those coming in the second half.

“We started to change the point of attack in the second half,” LeBlanc said. “We got Louis Thomas and Alex Ochoa into the game to open the flanks. Louis’ service from out wide was on point today.

We got the runs that we talked about. Our build up play, our combination play and our setup play have been great so far this season.”

Sophomore goalkeeper Brent Arnold played all 90 minutes and saved three shots.

The Mountaineers will have yet another quick turnaround, as they play non-conference opponent Virginia Tech at home Thursday. WVU will have played three games in the first six days of the season.

“This is the rat race that is college soccer,” LeBlanc said.

“There’re a lot of games in a short amount of time, but I think we’ll be okay. We opened this game up and got other guys in. We did a good job of managing our minutes.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

KYLE MONROE /the daily athenaeum

Senior forward Andy Bevin takes a corner kick during Monday’s game against Oakland.

I’ll admit it, West Virginia pleasantly surprised me Saturday.

Going into the 2014 ChickFil-A Kickoff Game, I believed the Mountaineers would not be able to compete with No. 2 Alabama in nearly every aspect of the game.

Following the game, however, the Mountaineers proved me wrong – for the most part.

The biggest area WVU did not seem to surprise many non-Mountaineer fans across the country was in the outcome of the game.

Though a loss may show up on the Mountaineers’ record column to begin the 2014 season, I’d argue it’s the closest loss you can have while still being able to come away from the season opener with much to be happy about.

Now in their third season in the Big 12 Conference, the Mountaineers have said all fall camp just how much this squad has improved, but something I did not expect out of this squad was for them to truly be able to show all the growth that has been made against the Tide.

“I felt like we are better at every position and after watching this game I feel like we are better at every position,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Now I think everybody has got to rally around this team for the rest of the season.”

Getting the support Holgorsen is looking for shouldn’t be too difficult from the members of his squad. The Mountaineers were able to do something just two teams did against the Crimson Tide in 2013 – put up more than 300 yards on the ‘Bama defense.

The Mountaineers finished the game with 393 total yards, while being led by redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett, who connected on 29 of 45 attempts for 365 yards and a touchdown.

But more importantly, Trickett didn’t turn the ball over once. Even after much concern entering Saturday’s game as to how Trickett would respond after coming off shoulder surgery in the spring and coming into the season opener without being hit, Trickett remained calm and did what many didn’t think he could do, give West Virginia a legitimate chance in the game.

“We felt like we could come in and give them a good game and put ourselves in a position to have a chance to win and when that happens, you’ve got to make critical plays in critical situations,” Holgorsen said.

“You’ve got to make critical calls in critical situations, and you need to have a little bit more success than we had.”

And that is what ultimately brought this Mountaineer squad down. There were missed opportunities in critical situations throughout the game for the Mountaineers, and there were moments in the second half when you could see a clear difference in West Virginia’s ability compared to ‘Bama’s pro-style ability in just about everything.

Between the WVU defense allowing 538 total yards with all seven of the Tides’ scoring drives consisting of at least six plays and the enormous third down trouble the West Virginia defense had, as Alabama was able to be nine of 16 in third down conversions, the problems were still present for the Mountaineers.

All-in-all, West Virginia made many heads turn Saturday, and all for the right reasons, especially since the Mountaineers were coming off a 4-8 season and entered Saturday’s game as 26.5-point underdogs.

“I told these guys to hold their head up high,” Holgorsen said. “How do we respond? We don’t want pats on the back. We want to be able to go to work, look at the film and get better from it.” anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu
