Local businesses prepare for home games by david schlake staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Saturday will be the first time this year that Morgantown will host a Mountaineer football game, and the city is getting ready.

While students, alumni and fans prepare, so do the local businesses that try to capitalize on the day of madness in Touchdown City.

Businesses in the area look forward to the season, with the tens of thousands of fans coming to show their support.

But, it’s not just a typical day in the office. There are a lot of steps that have to be taken to make sure they are ready to keep up with the amount of people they will be hosting. “As early as July, we are looking to hire more girls to serve and bartend just to be able to keep business running smoothly for football season as a whole,� said Madison Postlewaite, a day-manager and bartender at Kegler’s, one of Morgantown’s largest sports bars. “We always

schedule double staff for game days, and always make sure to have at least double the inventory in food, beer and liquor.�

Postlewaite said even though the pace and amount of people can be overwhelming, it’s the best time of the year for the employees. “It’s exciting. All of the girls make a lot more money,� she said. “It’s just essential that we have the waitresses and the bartenders prepared for the chaos.

We have a meeting before every game to make sure that everything and everyone is ready to go. When we’re ready, it’s a really exciting season for us.�

Christy Thompson, general manager at the Hampton Inn, stresses a similar outlook. “Yeah, it’s totally a different kind of business,� Thompson said. “Instead of having groups of one or two, we have groups of four or five. It’s definitely upbeat, but it’s fun.�

Similar to Postlewaite, Thompson said the key to a successful football weekend is to be prepared. “We make sure to have extra food, ex-

tra employees and extra stock of everything,� she said.

Thompson says that the biggest difference isn’t necessarily the amount of business, but the tone. “There’s a lot of tailgating in our parking lot,� Thompson said. “We usually put out food and drinks for the big games and we usually host a reception in the lobby the night before. It can be a lot, but it’s all fun. We wear blue and gold to show our spirit, and all of our residents are a great time. It’s just a different atmosphere.�

With the home opener only a day away, Kegler’s and the Hampton Inn aren’t the only ones preparing.

Businesses renting out parking lots for tailgating have to promote their spot.

Retail stores must keep an appropriate amount of inventory in stock to support all of the shoppers, and even police and other emergency responders must be ready for the madness of Mountaineer football.

After Morgantown City Council’s 6-1 vote Tuesday night banning certain classifications of heavy trucks driving through State Route 7 in downtown Morgantown, West Virginia Division of Highways has made it clear that Morgantown City Council does not have the jurisdiction to regulate traffic. “It’s the Division of Highways’ position that the DOH owns the road. We care for it. We pay for it, and we’re bound to have a uniform system of regulations to make certain that everyone has equal access to it,� said Jonathan Storage, Divison of Highways Legal Counsel, on WAJR-AM’s Morgantown AM. The ordinance approved by city council restricts any commercial truck weighing 13 tons or more with a class seven registration and higher to be banned from driving on State Route 7, which runs through Beechurst Avenue and Walnut Street in downtown Morgantown Jeff Mikorski, Morgantown’s city manager, told city council new signs would need to be placed along State Route 7 to enforce these new restrictions for truck drivers. However, city council must get approval from the Division of Highways for these new signs. “We told the city that the city does not have the authority to restrict the road-

way as they have, yet afterwards they are conceding the fact they have to seek the Division of Highways’ permission to put up the very signs to restrict the trucks. That seems very puzzling to me,� said Storage on WAJR-AM’s morning show. “We’re not going to approve signage if we believe the foundational ordinance is inappropriate given the road they are trying to regulate.�

Another issue that has arisen from these new restrictions is the city will need to weigh trucks traveling through downtown to enforce these new policies.

Storage suggested that not only are they stepping on the toes of the DOH but also the Public Service Commission, which is in charge of issuing citations for trucks that do not follow weight restrictions on state roads.

The City has a tight time frame of 90 days to accomplish the approval of signs and weigh station before the ordinance is scheduled to go in effect.

Kelley McAlister, a West Virginia University senior who has lived on Beechurst for the past three years, said she is happy city council is taking this ordinance seriously. “I can’t say how many nights I have woken up in the middle of the night hearing trucks drive past my house,� McAlister said. “I hope city council can finally get this approved so I can sleep through the night.� danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Maniacs, Career Services to host tailgate events today by alyssa lazar staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The first home football game of the year for the West Virginia Mountaineers is this Saturday, which can only mean one thing: tailgates.

The Mountaineer Maniacs and the Career Services Center will be hosting tailgates by the Mountainlair.

The first tailgate of the day will be hosted by the Career Services Center from noon to 3 p.m. today on the Mountainlair Plaza.

Students will be able to play traditional tailgate games, enjoy free food and earn prizes, which include four flat screen TV’s. The first 1,500 students to arrive will also get a free T-shirt. “We want students to come, have a great time, and get fired up for our home opener,� said David Durham, director of the Career Services Center. “We also want students to know who we are, what they need to do to be successful after WVU and what we can do to help them.�

This event is the second annual tailgate hosted by Career Services.

Last year, more than 1,100 students attended the tailgate. “We were looking for an event that

was fun but still lets students know that the Career Services Center is here and ready to help them,� said Rachael Conrad, Employer Relations Specialist for the Career Center.

WVU students are encouraged to attend to have fun and find out more about what Career Services has to offer.

Following Career Services’ tailgate, the Mountaineer Maniacs will host their first ever Maniac Madness tailgate from 3 to 5 p.m. on the Mountainlair Green. “Maniac Madness is a tradition that the Mountaineer Maniacs are creating here at the University,� said Steve Orlowski, director of the Mountaineer Maniacs. “It will take place every Friday before a home football game.�

At the event, students will receive prizes, giveaways and free food.

Oliver Luck, athletic director at WVU, along with some of the coaches and athletes will say a few words about the upcoming game.

Like Durham, Orlowski said he also wants to spread Mountaineer spirit. “The primary purpose of Maniac Madness is to create more awareness that it is a game day weekend and to create more of a buzz and energy around campus,� Orlowski said.

The Maniacs will also be distributing T-shirts to all members throughout the

duration of the event, and handing out buttons to wear at the game. “As a Maniac, you are a part of a great organization that truly embodies what school spirit is,� said Jackie Riggleman, special events coordinator for the Maniacs. “No matter what, the Maniacs are always there and are always going to be that support system.�

This event is new to the schedule this year. Orlowski and other executive members said they saw an opportunity to get the weekend started with enthusiasm. “The excitement that students have about the game on Friday will carry out throughout the entire weekend,� Riggleman said.

Along with receiving T-shirts, the Maniacs also offer guaranteed football tickets to each home game. Members receive invitations to watch parties, opportunities to go on away trips and the honor of being a donor at the Buckskin level for the Mountaineer Athletic Club.

There will be no Maniac Madness event over Fall Break or Thanksgiving.

Maniac Madness will be held Wednesday evening the night prior to the Thursday night game against Kansas State on Nov. 20. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Court rules against gay marriage bans in 2 states CHICAGO (AP) — A U.S. appeals court issued a scathing, unequivocal ruling Thursday declaring that gay marriage bans in Wisconsin and Indiana, on the same day that 31 states asked the Supreme Court to settle the issue once and for all.

The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago was the fourth to hear arguments on the issue. The decision from a normally slow and deliberative court was released a little more than a week after oral arguments.

The unanimous, 40-page decision from a three-judge panel blasted the states’ justifications for their bans, several times singling out the argument that only marriage between a man and a woman should be allowed because it’s – simply – tradition.

There are “bad traditions that are historical realities such as cannibalism, footbinding, and suttee, and traditions that ... are neither good nor bad – such as trickor-treating on Halloween,” the ruling says. “Tradition per se therefore cannot be a lawful ground for discrimination – regardless of the age of the tradition.”

It also laid into another argument from the states that gays should not be allowed to marry because, on their own, they can’t procreate, Michael Conroy/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM saying that rationale “is so Greg Hasty, center, joined by his husband CJ Vallero, right, and fellow plaintiffs discuss the ruling by the U.S. appeals court that same-sex marriage bans in Wisconsin and Indiana violate the U.S. Constitution full of holes that it cannot be during a press conference in Indianapolis. taken seriously.”

Student LOT tailgate moved this season The Student LOT, West Virginia University’s official student pregame tailgating event, will be located at a different site this season due to construction.

The LOT has been moved to the Evansdale Residential Complex basketball courts located beside Bennett and Lyon Towers.

The LOT is free to all students and is meant to be a safe and positive environment for students getting ready for the game.

In years past, the Student LOT was located on Oakland Street across from the Ronald McDonald House near Milan Puskar Stadium.

That location is blocked off due to the construction of University Park, a new student housing complex.

“Student Organizations Services and other Student Life units continue to work together to give our students a safe and fun place to hang out before the WVU home games,” said Barbara CopenhaverBailey, assistant vice president for student success, in a press release by WVU Today. “Thousands of students have visited the LOT, and we hope to have the same turnout at our new location.”

The Student LOT opens three hours before kickoff and closes 30 minutes prior to kickoff. A WVU ID is required. However, students are welcome to bring one guest. Alcohol is not permitted, but free food and giveaways will be offered.

Continued from page 1 need to know to improve their diet.

“One thing we talk to students about is a concept we call nutrient density. What we find is that the foods that students are eating (are) really high in calories and low in nutrients,” Foster said. “A lot of white and processed flour, a lot of sugar, and things that are processed and unhealthy don’t have nutritional values. You’re not getting the vitamins and the minerals and the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy.”

Every year, WVU partakes in a survey called the National Collegiate Health Assessment. This survey allows for schools across the nation to identify specific health related needs that their student body has, giving the school a chance to focus on these unique issues.

“Based on the responses that we are getting back

from our student body on a wide variety of health behavior questions, we know that only about 6.4 percent of our students get the recommended number of fruits and vegetables a day,” Foster said.

It’s because of this that WELLWVU created its “5 freg a day” tagline.

Events like the farmers market really help promote the consumption of at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.

It’s also helpful in the sense that it brings local farmers and business owners to help educate the students on what they’re eating.

Neha Lal and Marlin Dehoff are two farmers that sell their organically grown food at the market. Also known as the “Pepper People”, due to their wide variety of peppers, they were able to give students advice and recipes on how to prepare their produce as well as explain the benefits of eating their locally grown food.

“When you grow your

food locally, you are getting it that much fresher,” Lal explained. “By the time something gets to the grocery store, it was grown two days away, its been cut, cleaned, and shipped for two days. It reaches the grocery store, is stocked, and sits there for a day or two before you buy it. Then, you stick it in your fridge and it’s been a week before you ever touch the product.”

Being able to eat fresh, organic food ensures that you will be receiving more nutrients than produce you can buy in the grocery store.

Ruth Haas, owner of the Real Juice Bar, understands this concept quite well. With the use of organic fruits and vegetables she has been able to create a menu of juice, smoothies, sandwiches, and salads that she claims are not only delicious, but also healthy.

“I think that a lot of people are under the impression that healthy food doesn’t really taste good and this is kind of what the concept was when we

opened,” Haas said. “Just because it’s healthy doesn’t mean it has to taste bad.”

It seems that the message WELLWVU is trying to send, is reaching many students.

Jack Budig, a junior history student, says he loves shopping at farmers markets.

“I believe that, health wise, the produce at the farmers markets in town are great because instead of eating vegetables that come from massive farms hundreds of miles away and that have a lot of preservatives used on them, you can enjoy delicious fruits and vegetables grown close to Morgantown,” Budig said.

Even though some students are receiving the message, WELLWVU still plans to reach more students.

“I would like to see more students be more choosey about what they eat and what they buy, and to take time to understand what it is that they’re fueling their body with,” Foster said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Ex-Virginia gov., wife guilty of public corruption RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife were convicted Thursday of taking bribes to promote a dietary supplement in a corruption case that derailed the career of the onetime rising Republican star and laid bare the couple’s broken marriage.

A federal jury in Richmond convicted Bob McDonnell of 11 of the 13 counts he faced; Maureen McDonnell was convicted of nine of the 13 counts she faced. Both bowed their heads and wept as the court clerk read a chorus of “guilty” verdicts.

Widely considered a possible running mate for Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential campaign, McDonnell was reduced to living with the family’s priest in a church rectory during the trial. Now he and his wife face up to 20 years in prison for each conspiracy, fraud and bribery conviction. Sentencing was scheduled for Jan. 6.

The couple’s defense strategy depended in large part on convincing jurors that their marriage itself was a fraud and that they were unable to speak to each other, let alone conspire to accept bribes.

They left the courtroom separately — first Bob and then Maureen, who hugged one of her daughters and wept loudly on the way out.

Bob McDonnell was ashen

as he was mobbed by TV cameras before climbing into a waiting blue Mercedes.

“All I can say is that my trust remains in the Lord,” he said quietly. His attorney said he would appeal.

The McConnells were convicted on nearly all the counts involving doing favors for wealthy vitamin executive Jonnie Williams in exchange for more than $165,000 in gifts and loans that they admitted taking.

Maureen McDonnell also was convicted of obstructing justice after the scandal broke, by returning a designer gown Williams had bought for her during a New York shopping trip, along with a handwritten note that tried to diminish its value by suggesting they had agreed Williams could give the dress to his daughters or to charity.

That conviction also carries a potential 20-year term.

Jurors acquitted them of bank fraud on loan applications that failed to mention the money Williams lent them.

The former governor, his head in his hands, began crying as soon as he heard the first sob from his daughter Cailin. Other family members and supporters followed suit. The weeping became louder, and McDonnell’s sobbing grew more intense, with each succeeding find-

ing of guilt.

Juror Kathleen L. Carmody said it was wrenching to watch the McDonnell family’s teary reaction.

“When the verdicts were read, you could not be human and not feel sorry, or empathy or compassion for the McDonnell family,” she said.

Carmody said she voted for McDonnell and thought he was a great governor, but added: “The facts spoke for themselves.”

Juror Robin Trujillo, who moved to the Richmond area about a year and a half ago and wasn’t familiar with the McDonnells before the trial, said it “wasn’t just one light bulb” that swayed the jury toward a guilty verdict. But after deciding on guilt on the first conspiracy charge “everything kind of fit together like a puzzle,” she said.

Testifying in his own defense, McDonnell insisted that he provided nothing more than routine political courtesies to the former CEO of Virginia-based Star Scientific. His wife’s lawyers, meanwhile, said Williams preyed on their client’s vulnerability after she developed a “crush” on the businessman.

Maureen McDonnell did not take the stand even as her private life was exposed, with staff from the governor’s

mansion and aides testifying that her erratic behavior risked becoming a political embarrassment.

The jurors all declined to speak to reporters as they left the courthouse through a back door.

“I just want to go home,” one of them said.

Bob McDonnell’s attorney, Henry Asbill, said he was shocked, surprised and disappointed. He complained that prosecutors sought to criminalize routine political behavior, and said, “I have no idea what the jury deliberated about.”

Maureen McDonnell’s attorney, William Burck, declined comment.

Williams, who testified under immunity, said he spent freely on the McDonnells to secure their help promoting his tobacco-derived anti-inflammatory supplement Anatabloc as a treatment for ulcers, Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis. Williams declined to comment on the verdicts, his attorney said.

His gifts included nearly $20,000 in designer clothing and accessories for Maureen McDonnell, a $6,500 engraved Rolex watch for Bob, $15,000 in catering for their daughter Cailin’s wedding, free family vacations and golf outings for their boys.

Williams also provided three loans totaling $120,000.

As the gifts rolled in, the McDonnells appeared at promotional events and even hosted a launch luncheon for Anatabloc at the governor’s mansion. Williams and his associates also were allowed into a reception for Virginia health care leaders at the mansion, and McDonnell arranged meetings with state health officials as Williams sought state money and the credibility of Virginia’s universities for research that would support Anatabloc.

Defense lawyers argued that none of this was done for bribes, because the governor didn’t consider the favors to be anything special, the research grant applications were never submitted, and being first lady isn’t an official position.

If she’s not a public official and the couple weren’t speaking, there was no conspiracy, they said.

Witnesses — including the former governor himself — said Maureen McDonnell despised being first lady, and was prone to such angry outbursts that the mansion staff threatened a mass resignation. McDonnell said he began working unnecessarily late, just to avoid her anger.

If Maureen McDonnell was portrayed as erratic, the powerful and straight-arrow image her politician hus-

band fostered didn’t fare much better. The defense introduced a September 2011 email from McDonnell to his wife lamenting the deterioration of their marriage, complaining about her “fiery anger” and begging her to work with him to repair the relationship.

While several witnesses described the first lady’s relationship with Williams as inappropriate and flirtatious, none suggested it was physical, and Williams testified that his dealings with both McDonnells were all business.

Prosecutors said the McDonnells turned to Williams in desperation because they were grappling with $90,000 in credit card debt and annual losses of $40,000 to $60,000 on family-owned vacation rentals in Virginia Beach. Williams said he wrote the first $50,000 check to Maureen after she complained about their money troubles and offered to help his company.

Virginia has among the nation’s weakest political ethics laws, and McDonnell repeatedly stressed that he did nothing to violate them.

But this case was federal, and both prosecutors and FBI officials said the verdicts send a message that state laws provide no shelter from corruption prosecutions.

US to provide $75M to expand Ebola care centers MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — The American aid agency announced Thursday it would donate $75 million to fund 1,000 more beds in Ebola treatment centers in Liberia and buy 130,000 more protective suits for health care workers.

West Africa’s struggling health systems have buckled under the pressure of an Ebola outbreak that has already killed about 1,900 people.

Nurses in Liberia are wearing rags over their heads to protect themselves from the dreaded disease, amid concerns that shortages of protective gear throughout the region are responsible for the high Ebola death toll among health workers.

The U.S. Agency for International Development also urged American health care workers to respond to the outbreak. Rajiv Shah, the agency’s administrator, told The Associated Press that several hundred more international experts are needed and the agency will help send Americans health care workers there.

“This will get worse before it gets better,” he said. “We have a coherent and clear strategy ... but it will take weeks to months to get operational at that scale.”

The $75 million comes in addition to about $20 million the agency has already donated to fight the outbreak that was first identified in March in Guinea, and has spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. The killer virus is spread through bodily fluids such as blood, sweat, urine or diarrhea.

Health workers account for about 10 percent of the deaths so far. Much of the protective gear they use must be destroyed after use, so Ebola

wards need a constant flow of clean equipment.

One nurse at a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, said she and her colleagues have resorted to cutting up their old uniforms and trying them over their faces to protect themselves, looking out through holes in the fabric. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to talk to the media.

“It is really pathetic,” she said. “We are not equipped to face the situation.”

With no goggles to protect them, their eyes burn from the fumes of chlorine used to disinfect the ward, the nurse said.

David and Nancy Writebol, American missionaries who worked at another hospital in Liberia, echoed those concerns, speaking to the AP in North Carolina.

They said doctors and nurses are overwhelmed by a surge of patients and there aren’t enough hazard suits to keep them safe.

Health care workers can go through thousands of the suits a week, David Writebol said, and the suspension of flights to the region by many airlines is making it harder to get gear in.

Three American health care workers have been sickened with Ebola while working in Liberia. Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly were flown back to the U.S. to be treated and have since recovered, while the third only recently tested positive for the disease.

Another doctor who was infected with Ebola while working in Liberia is being flown to a Nebraska hospital for treatment, doctors there said Thursday.

Officials at the Nebraska

Medical Center in Omaha said Dr. Rick Sacra, 51, is expected to arrive sometime Friday. Sacra will begin treatment in the hospital’s 10-bed special isolation unit, the largest of four such units in the U.S. Liberia has been hardest hit by the current outbreak, with the largest number of cases and deaths. Doctors Without Borders, which is running several Ebola treatment centers, said last week that its clinic in Monrovia is overrun AP with patients and doctors are Health workers place the body of a man, inside a plastic body bag, as he is suspected of dying due to the Ebola virus whilst no longer able to provide in- a small crowd watch in Monrovia, Liberia, Thursday. travenous treatments.

The Liberian nurse, meanwhile, said she and her colleagues live every day with the fear that they’ll become infected.

“When you go through this and return home, you lie in bed asking yourself: I am still safe? Or I have contracted the disease?” she said.

Meanwhile, health officials were monitoring more than 200 people who may have been exposed to Ebola in southern Nigeria.

Authorities had been cautiously optimistic that they would be able to keep Nigeria’s outbreak relatively small since the one sick LiberianAmerican who brought the disease to Nigeria by plane was quickly isolated.

But then last month a person he had come into contact with escaped surveillance and fled to the southern oil hub of Port Harcourt. The contact infected a doctor, who, in turn, exposed dozens of people to the disease, the World Health Organization said.

Of the 200 people identified as exposed to the ill doctor, WHO said about 60 are considered at high risk of getting Ebola.

A reverse jinx prediction for WVU

Student input is a must

taylor jobin columnist @dailyathenaeum

It’s almost here, the big game, WVU vs. Alabama.

The battle of the backups, as I like to call it. After all, that’s what we’re really getting. Perennial powerhouse Alabama, who, spoiler alert, will start former Florida State backup Jacob Coker Saturday against our Mountaineers, led by former Florida State backup Clint Trickett.

How far have these two programs fallen from grace to have to start another school’s backup on the opening weekend of college football? Yes, Florida State won it all last year with Jameis Winston, but he is a completely different QB than those other two guys.

Both of these teams are coming off incredible runs at the quarterback position. Alabama had an extraordinary run with Greg McElroy, who won them a national title in 2009. He was followed by AJ McCarron, arguably the Tide’s greatest QB of all time, who led them to two titles in three years.

WVU lit up scoreboards for three seasons with Geno Smith. He was preceded by our greatest QB of all time, Pat White.

Pro careers aside, those are four dominant college quarterbacks these schools got to enjoy.

Now, the quarterback position is the biggest question mark for both teams heading into the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game.

We know Alabama’s defense is stacked - it always is. They’re deep at wide receiver and have a threeheaded monster at running back.

For the first time under Dana Holgorsen, the Mountaineers have an improved and experienced secondary. However, the loss of Ishmael Banks hurts. We also have one of the deepest backfields in the country. For a full preview of the Mountaineers’ game Saturday, check out today’s Gameday Edition from The Daily Athenaeum.

I don’t have to remind you how big of an underdog we are, that Vegas has us pegged at +26 or how no one is giving us a snowball’s chance in hell. We all know this.

The only way we are going to win this game Saturday is if our backup plays better than their backup.

The quarterback is the most important position on the field, and both teams are starting scrubs.

You want to know why no one is picking us to do well this season? Clint Trickett. Can you guess why Alabama isn’t picked to win the SEC for the first time in forever? It’s questions at quarterback.

I don’t know if it’s the new, less harsh transfer rules or just inexplicable poor recruiting. But the worst starters for both teams come Saturday will be the quarterbacks.

Now, I understand this is all just speculation, and I could look like the biggest idiot in print by Saturday night.

But if I know football like I think I do (I’ve never played an organized down in my life), it’s that Jimbo Fisher’s favorite former backup will dismantle his opponent Saturday at 3:30 p.m.

Clint Trickett and WVU reverse jinx prediction complete.

A letter from our Mountaineer GUEST COLUMNIST @wvuMASCOT

You can feel the excitement in the air. We’re all back on campus. We’ve welcomed 6,000 new students to the Mountaineer family this month. And, oh yeah, the Mountaineers are about to take on Alabama.

On Saturday, we will face the vaunted Crimson Tide in Atlanta in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game. I can’t wait to get there to cheer on the Mountaineers, along with 20,000-some of the greatest fans in the country, and to represent our great state.

No matter where you watch the game this weekend (it’s on ABC at 3:30 p.m.), I encourage all of you to represent WVU and our state as positively as possible, as the whole nation will have its eyes on our team, our University and our town.

prettier, who’s involved in Greek life or athletics or who gave you the best offer while campaigning. On the other hand, there are those who care more about the tradition of homecoming rather than looking at it as a competition.

Since we were freshmen in high school most of us have participated in some sort of homecoming event every year, whether it be the homecoming football game, voting for homecoming king and queen, the homecoming dance or the four days of Spirit Week’s crazy dress themes leading up to the big homecoming weekend.

Needless to say, every one of these events involved the students and was created specifically for the students to show how proud they are of their school.

Yes, years have passed and we’re in college now where some of these high school traditions have disappeared, but we’re still students. We have every right to continue in celebrating the remaining events, specifically who we want to represent our University as Homecoming King and Queen when we attend our Homecoming football game against Kansas.

Whether it turns out that

it was all a popularity contest or not, most of us will be proud we were able to have some sort of say in a Mountaineer tradition.

Fortunately for us, SGA fought hard for WVU’s student body, and, less than a day later, we got our rights back to campaign and vote.

Thank you, SGA. With so much emphasis on student involvement at WVU, student approval of such things involving and particularly impacting the student body is absolutely necessary. Without the students, what is a school?

We, the students, are West Virginia University. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Let us know how we’re doing.

MICHAEL GARCIA

The West Virginia University Student Government Association was up in arms, Wednesday, over the recent decision by the University to remove student participation from Homecoming. This included the removal of the Homecoming Court’s campaigning, as well as removing the student body vote for the King and Queen.

So here’s the big question: Why were the students not at all involved in this decision?

On one hand, some students have thought running for homecoming king and queen is purely a popularity contest of who’s

It’s official: Monday, the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued a statement of recommendation to start middle and high schools later in the morning. It has now been scientifically proven that starting school before 8:30 a.m. disrupts the sleep cycles of adolescents and has major drawbacks that have led to an “epidemic” of sleep-deprived teens.

If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering why this couldn’t have been scientifically proven in 2007. I remember the hell of having to be seated in homeroom at 7:20 a.m. sharp all too well.

It’s not simply a case of teenage angst. At the onset of puberty, the natural sleep-wake cycle actually begins to shift by as much as two hours. Fighting that natural circadian rhythm in adolescents is not in our

best interest, according to the AAP. This statement is a pretty big deal, considering it comes from the nation’s largest pediatrician group. According to the AAP, kids need eight and a half to nine and a half hours of sleep, and this is nearly impossible to achieve with schools starting at 7:20 a.m. There are even teenagers who live a sizable distance from school and are picked up as early as 5:45 a.m.

Among the AAP’s list of the consequences of inefficient sleep are: increased risk for diabetes, higher rate of car accidents, increased risk for anxiety and depression, lower academic achievement, decreased motivation and impairments in memory.

The AAP even recognizes that caffeine consumption is not a quick fix or substitute for sufficient sleep, nor is catching up with sleep on the weekend. Personally, I’m glad this part was added because many people in to-

day’s society have the attitude of, “just chug an energy drink and you’ll be fine.”

Getting a rush and then crashing later is nothing like the natural energy you get from being well-rested, which is so essential to teenagers’ developing brains and bodies.

It’s acknowledged in the AAP statement that there are other factors that contribute to sleep deprivation in teens, such as afterschool activities, homework and jobs. The use of technology late at night is also a big disrupter of natural sleep. However, a tooearly start to the school day is listed as a “critical” factor.

There are some obvious roadblocks in the way of the 8:30 a.m. start being made a major public policy immediately. These include adjusting times for extracurriculars, especially athletic practices and games, and also the reduction in afterschool employment hours for students. There’s also the possibility of transpor-

tation and scheduling issues arising, simply because everything would have to be changed.

However, I believe these problems can be easily surpassed when you consider the innumerable benefits that can be achieved by simply pushing things back an hour later. Any teacher who has tried to engage a class of student zombies in first period would probably agree.

The American Medical Association and Center for Disease Control Prevention has recognized the health risks of inadequate sleep for adolescents before, but the AAP is taking it a step further by citing a specific time. I think it’s amazing that someone is speaking up to make this positive change for the well-being of adolescents.

Now when I exaggerate to my kids that I walked miles in the snow to school, like all parents do, I can maybe even shock them that I was there by 7:20 a.m., as well. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

we’re all proud to be Mountaineers. Let’s give our athletic programs something to be proud of in the same way that they make us proud every time they represent us.

Win or lose, remember to respect being part of the WVU tradition – one filled with success and stories passed on from generation to generation.

Be responsible, because that’s the reputation we want and deserve to have.

As you and I both know, all it takes is one act of irresponsibility to steal the spotlight from a huge victory.

When we beat Alabama on Saturday (yep, we are going to shock the world), let’s celebrate like champions – in a fun yet safe way. That way, the players, our great state and University can shine like they deserve.

Have fun and be safe this weekend and, of course, let’s go Mountaineers. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

GAME DAY

Where will you be? Here are three perspectives on WVU’s first home game of the season.

“The Pride of West Virginia� up close Hannah Harless

Correspondent @Dailyathenaeum

It’s the start of football season for the Mountaineers, and that means cheering alongside “The Pride of West Virginia,� the Mountaineer Marching Band.

For Bruce Swiney, a freshman interior design student, this means proudly marching onto the field as a member of the WVU Drumline. “During my senior year, when making college choices, the band is what really made my choice to attend West Virginia University,� Swiney said.

He said every time he saw The “Pride� perform, he couldn’t take his eyes off of them.

It was important for Swiney to be a part of a nationally acclaimed program, and he said he felt The “Pride� represented the school and state well.

In order to fulfill his aspiration, Swiney had to

the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game against the University of Alabama, The “Pride� released a promotional video of the drumline playing with ordinary utensils such as pots and pans. “My most memorable moment in the band thus far was the trip to the Georgia Dome,� Swiney said. “It was always excit-

ing from the moment we loaded the buses to the moment we unloaded.�

The “Pride� performed for local high schools in southern West Virginia, played at an alumni event in Atlanta and at two pep rallies before taking position in the Georgia Dome.

During the game, they played many songs including “My Songs Know

What You Did in the Dark,�

by Fall Out Boy and “Holiday,� by Green Day. Although the team took a loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide, there were a lot of positives including the performances by the band, all of which makes Mountaineers excited for the Towson game this weekend.

Students enjoy “Fight Mountaineers� and “Hail, West Virginia.�

As a Mountaineer, these tunes make our heart race and send chills of anticipation as students return to their rightful places in the student section.

Or in Swiney’s case, on the field, front and center. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Wearing Old Gold and Simple snacks to help Blue on a budget celebrate the game Nicole curtin A&E writer @Dailyathenaeum

However you are connected to West Virginia University, whether as a student, alumni, faculty member or just an avid Mountaineer fan, you’ll most likely be sporting Old Gold and Blue tomorrow.

It sounds great when parents drop us off for the school year and they say, “Do you want a new T-shirt? Let’s go get you one.� However, there is no reason to pay $40 for a shirt from the WVU bookstore.

The bookstore has a huge array of Mountaineer gear, and it is all high quality, hence the prices.

There are other options, though, such as the Book Exchange, Mountaineer Zone in the University Town Centre and Suncrest Towne Centre, Bookholders, Walmart, The Elegant Alley Cat, Victoria’s Secret and Hibbett Sports in the Morgantown Mall, Gabe’s and T.J. Maxx.

If it’s a clothing retailer in Morgantown, there’s probably Old Gold and Blue somewhere

inside.

For those who want to dress more formally, Mountaineer Zone, Barnes & Noble and Hibbett Sports all have WVU polos that give an official look.

Ladies who want to look a little more fancy at tailgates (instead of wearing a yellow Maniacs T-shirt), can choose a dress.

The Book Exchange sells dresses that are color blocked. Pair a blue dress with a yellow necklace or scarf, maybe boots or sandals for the shoes, and you’re ready to go. Plus, you don’t look like the average fan.

The weather can turn sour, and when it rains, you’ll want to be prepared.

Barnes & Noble sells WVU ponchos. Take my advice: If you don’t have rain boots, invest in a quality pair now.

Umbrellas are not allowed in the football stadium, so don’t make the mistake of bringing one.

Most students arrive at the student section wearing a yellow shirt

and shorts. Be warned, though, not to wear white shorts because you risk the possibility of staining them. Let’s be honest – you’ll probably stain them.

As the season goes on and temperatures drop, there are many options for jackets and sweatshirts in Morgantown. You could probably fill an entire closet with them.

The standard Columbia brand jacket with the WVU logo is pricey, but they are sold at many stores. Try T.J. Maxx to get a lower price.

A gold scarf with your coat or jacket is a great way to keep warm but still have spirit in your game day cheering.

Showing your Mountaineer pride is pretty easily done, but avoid the costs and show your own style by purchasing gear from alternative retailers.

Be smart this football season. Stay warm, dry and spirited. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

From tailgating early to singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take Me Home, Country Roadsâ&#x20AC;? with your peers, tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game will definitely have its perks.

But, if you find yourself at home on game day, you can still have a great time with your friends. All you need are cooking skills and creativity.

By making the snacks yourself, you can impress your friends while saving money that would have been spent on the same old pizza from down the street.

Stick to finger foods and items that are easy to clean up.

Mozzarella sticks are easy to make and are delicious, but I suggest you use panko crumbs instead of regular ones.

To make panko-fried mozzarella sticks, you will need one pack of string cheese, white flour, three eggs, two teaspoons of parsley, pepper, one cup of panko bread crumbs and a little olive oil.

First, mix together the eggs, parsley and as much pepper as you like. Then, set up an assembly line for your cheese.

Roll one cheese stick in the flour until fully covered.

Shake off the excess to avoid clumping before you dip it completely into the egg mixture.

Let the egg drip off into a bowl and then roll the cheese in the bread crumbs.

Place your breaded cheese stick on the plate and repeat.

A good tip for breading is to designate one hand for dry ingredients and one for wet ingredients so the flour and bread crumbs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t become gooey and the egg doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get clumpy.

Once you have the hang of that, drizzle olive oil onto a pan and let it heat up on

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Giverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fails to meet fansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; high expectations Caitlin Worrell A&E Writer @Dailyathenaeum

ÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤ â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Giverâ&#x20AC;? was one of the most anticipated films in 2014. Audiences hoped it would bring new life to a timeless story of truth and courage.

This movie had huge potential with a futuristic feel and innovative aesthetics, but a slow plot line and overdone aesthetics may have caused the film to fall short in the long run.

Directed by Phillip Noyce, this big-budget production strays from the traditional setting of the novel, which is dark and enclosed, to an ultramodern, almost space-age universe.

The story begins in 2048 with the The Community, a place where all citizens live as complete equals. This means there is no race, no color, no feelings and every single memory from the past is erased.

The first striking element was the use of black and white film in contrast with isolated glimpses of color. Color is only used to

highlight the most crucial of moments.

As the film began switching from black and white to color, it was confusing to understand the significance. It was an innovative idea that seemed to have gotten lost in translation.

We are first introduced to Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a boy on the verge of adulthood. Life with his two loving parents (Alexander Skarsgard and Katie Holmes) and a little sister is seemingly perfect.

He has reached the age in The Community where he will be placed into his assigned career. On the day of the ceremony, his friends Asher (Cameron Monaghan) and Fiona (Odeya Rush) are happy and sure of their future positions in society.

Jonas, on the other hand, has his doubts. One by one, everyone is placed except for Jonas.

The Chief Elder (Meryl Streep) assures him they have not made a mistake but that he is special. She tells Jonas that he possesses all the qualities of an outstanding citizen and one other quality thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to describe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an abil-

Maroon 5 releases â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Vâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, explores electronic sound Hannah Harless CORRESPONDENT @DAilyathenaeum

Maroon 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly anticipated album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vâ&#x20AC;? was released Aug. 29.

Originating in 1994, while its members Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick were still in high school, the group was called Karaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flowers.

Twenty years later, the pop-rock band from California has become one of the most recognized bands around the world as Maroon 5.

Since the release of their first album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Songs About Jane,â&#x20AC;? Maroon 5 transformed their sound to be more soulful with songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunday Morningâ&#x20AC;? and then to a more upbeat, pop sound.

These transformations could be influenced by what is popular on the music charts when the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s albums are released.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also probably affected by the life events of Levine, who usually writes each song.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;V,â&#x20AC;? like most of Maroon 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, will embed catchy tunes in your head that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be singing along to all year.

New fans will catch a ride on the Maroon 5 bandwagon while some loyal fans will hop off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maps,â&#x20AC;? the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first single released at the start of summer, could rightly be called the summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anthem. In this song, Levine sings about how he lost his way in his relationship with a girl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I miss the taste of a sweeter life, I miss the conversation,â&#x20AC;? Levine sings.

The song starts off slow before grabbing your attention. The song builds quickly at the hook. If your foot isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tapping along to the drums â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it wrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animals,â&#x20AC;? the latest single, is the complete opposite of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maps.â&#x20AC;? While â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mapsâ&#x20AC;? was about a love lost and Levineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-pity, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Animalsâ&#x20AC;? showcases his wild side as he compares himself to an animal seeking its prey.

This album achieves an electric feel by using synthesizers, similar to Daft Punk.

This is evident in songs like

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Was Always You,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sugarâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unkiss Me.â&#x20AC;?

The electric sound is unlike any of Maroon 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous albums. This would have been a gutsy move made by the band five years ago, but Levine has led the band to new heights.

He appeared as a coach and judge on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Voice,â&#x20AC;? became the face of a new clothing line at Kmart and appeared as a lead character in the movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Begin Again.â&#x20AC;?

The song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming Back For Youâ&#x20AC;? will take listeners back in time with a sound similar to Phil Collins. The drums in the song sound much like the drums in â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the Air Tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Though successful, the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upbeat, electric numbers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave enough room for Levineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballads like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sadâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;She Will Be Loved.â&#x20AC;?

This album should still produce many hit singles. Although it is a drastic change from Maroon 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature sound, it is still a pop record that will get attention. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

How John Lennon continued having a lasting impact on US immigrants WASHINGTON (AP) -Imagine. The argument over President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal authority to defer deportations begins 42 years ago with a bit of hashish, a dogged lawyer and, yes, John Lennon and Yoko Ono. President Richard Nixon was seeking re-election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Pieâ&#x20AC;? was leading the pop charts. And Lennon, convicted in 1968 for possession of â&#x20AC;&#x153;cannabis resinâ&#x20AC;? in London, was in New York facing deportation from a Nixon administration eager to disrupt the famous ex-Beatleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned concert tour and voter registration drive.

Lennon wanted to delay his removal so Ono could fight for custody of her 9-year-old daughter by a previous husband. Lennon and Ono approached Leon Wildes, a lawyer young enough that he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had to ask a colleague, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tell me, who is John Lennon?â&#x20AC;? Wildes had grown up in a small town in Pennsylvania coal country, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was not into that kind of music,â&#x20AC;? he says.

But he knew his immigration law.

In time, the effort to extend Lennonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay in the United States would become an integral part of the legal foundation the Obama administration relied on in 2012 to set up a program that has deferred the deportation of more than 580,000 immigrants who entered the country illegally as children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I can say is, John Lennon is smiling in his grave,â&#x20AC;?

Wildes said in an interview.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He helped accomplish that.â&#x20AC;?

The extent of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal authority is now central to the White House deliberations over what else Obama can do - and when - without congressional action to reduce deportations and give many of the 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally the ability to stay and work without fear of being removed.

Until the Lennon case, the

Immigration and Naturalization Service had not acknowledged it used its own discretion in deciding whom to deport. But through the Freedom of Information Act, Wildes discovered 1,843 instances in which the INS had invoked such prosecutorial discretion as part of a secret program for â&#x20AC;&#x153;nonpriorityâ&#x20AC;? cases.

Once the program was revealed, the INS had no choice

but to concede its existence and issued official guidance on how it would be applied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The remarkable work of Leon Wildes really led to the old agency of INS making its policy about prosecutorial discretion and nonpriority status public for the first time,â&#x20AC;? said Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia, a law professor at Pennsylvania State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dickinson School of Law who has written extensively

about executive powers in immigration law.

Immigration lawyers and many legal scholars like Wadhia argue Obama draws his authority to act from a broad range of sources, from the Constitution to immigration laws to government regulations.

Critics like John Yoo and Robert Delahunty, both of whom worked in the Justice Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Le-

gal Counsel during President George W. Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration, argue that the president doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have such broad latitude and that prosecutorial discretion can only be applied narrowly.

For Wildes, now 81 years old and still at work on immigration cases, the years spent with John and Yoko were a defining time. (The â&#x20AC;&#x153;holdâ&#x20AC;? music on his office phone plays Lennonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine.â&#x20AC;?)

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Friday September 5, 2014

AP

Comedian Joan Rivers passes away at age 81 Joan Rivers, the raucous, acid-tongued comedian who crashed the male-dominated realm of late-night talk shows and turned Hollywood red carpets into danger zones for badly dressed celebrities, died Thursday.

She was 81.

Rivers died at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, surrounded by family and close friends, daughter Melissa Rivers said. She was hospitalized Aug. 28 after going into cardiac arrest in a doctor’s office following a routine procedure. The New York state health department is investigating the circumstances.

“My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh,” Melissa Rivers said.

“Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.”

Under the immobile, plastic surgery-crafted veneer

that became Joan Rivers’ unapologetic trademark as she aged, her wit remained as vibrantly raw and unruly as when she first broke her way into a comedy world belonging largely to men.

In a 2010 “Late Show” interview, David Letterman broached the plastic surgery issue: “You don’t look exactly like the Joan Rivers I used to know.” Rivers was unapologetic.

“Our business is so youthful. ... You do little tweaks, and I think if a woman wants to look good, or a man, do it,” she said.

“It’s not about anybody else.”

Fashion and acting were the early dreams of the woman who grew up as a self-described “fatty,” but it was humor that paid the bills and ultimately made Rivers leaves behind her daugher, Melissa, and grandson, Cooper.

Rivers a star. She refused to ously until her death. in a 2013 interview with The Nahhh! I’m very happy “I have never wanted to be Associated Press. “People HERE. It’s great. It gets betcede the spotlight as the decades passed, working vigor- a day less than I am,” she said say, `I wish I were 30 again.’ ter and better. And then, of course, we die,” she quipped.

Rivers was a scrapper, rebuilding her career and life after a failed attempt to make it as a late-night host was followed closely by her husband’s suicide.

Rivers’ style was harddriving from the start and her material only got sharper. She was ready to slam anyone. A favored target was Elizabeth Taylor’s weight (“her favorite food is seconds”), but the comedian kept current with verbal assaults on Miley Cyrus and other newcomers.

With her raspy voice and brash New York accent, Rivers turned the red carpet of the Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globes into a stalking ground for E! Entertainment. Her familiar query – “Who are you wearing?”

- would quickly give way to such snarky commentary as her assessment of Adele’s Grammy outfit: The singer looked like she was sitting on a teapot.

The barbs could turn inward as well, with Rivers mocking everything from her proclaimed lack of sex appeal (“my best birth control now is just to leave the lights on”) to her own mortality.

In 2007, Rivers and her partner-in-slime, daughper ter Melissa, were dropped month by their new employer, the TV Guide Channel, and replaced by actress Lisa Rinna.

But the Rivers’ women found new success on E! with “Fashion Police,” which Rivers hosted and her daughter produced.

Joan Rivers never relaxed, always looking for the next and better punchline.

“The trouble with me is, I make jokes too often,” she told the AP in 2013, just days after the death of her older sister. “I was making jokes yesterday at the funeral home. That’s how I get through life. Life is SO difficult - everybody’s been through something! But you laugh at it, it becomes smaller.”

She had faced true crisis in the mid-1980s. Edgar Rosenberg, her husband of 23 years, committed suicide in 1987 after she was fired from her Fox talk show, which he produced.

The show’s failure was a major factor, Rivers said. Rosenberg’s suicide also temporarily derailed her career.

“Nobody wants to see someone whose husband has killed himself do comedy four weeks later,” she told The New York Times in 1990.

Rivers had originally entered show business with the dream of being an actress, but comedy was a way to pay the bills while she auditioned for dramatic roles.

“Somebody said, `You can make six dollars standing up in a club,’” she told the AP, “and I said, `Here I go!’

It was better than typing all day.”

In the early 1960s, comedy was a man’s game and the only women comics she could look to were Totie Fields and Phyllis Diller.

But she worked her way up from local clubs in New York until, in 1965, she landed her big break on “The Tonight Things we want you to know: New Retail Installment Contracts and Shared Connect Plan required.

personal life picked up as well: She met British producer Rosenberg and they married after a four-day courtship.

Rivers hosted a morning talk show on NBC in 1968 and, the next year, made her Las Vegas debut with female comedians still a relative rarity.

“To control an audience is a very masculine thing,” Rivers told the Los Angeles Times in 1977. “The minute a lady is in any form of power, they (the public) totally strip away your femininity - which isn’t so. Catherine the Great had a great time.”

In 1978, she wrote, directed and co-starred in the movie “Rabbit Test.” It had an intriguing premise - Billy Crystal as a man who gets pregnant - but was poorly received. In 1983, though, she scored a coup when she was named permanent guest host for Carson on “Tonight.”

Although she drew good ratings, NBC hesitated in renewing her contract three years later. Fledgling network Fox jumped in with an offer of her own late-night show.

She launched “The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers” on Fox in 1986, but the venture lasted just a season and came at a heavy price: Carson cut ties with her when she surprised him by becoming a competitor.

Carson kept publicly silent about her defection but referred obliquely to his new rival in his monologue on the day her show debuted.

“There are a lot of big confrontations this week,” Carson said as the audience giggled expectantly. “Reagan and Gorbachev, the Mets versus the Astros, and me versus `The Honeymooners’ lost episodes.”

Her show was gone in a year and she would declare that she had been “raped” by Fox; three months later, her husband was found dead.

It took two years to get her career going again, and then she didn’t stop. Rivers appeared at clubs and on TV shows including “Hollywood Squares.” She appeared on Broadway and released more comedy albums and books, most recently “Diary of a Mad Diva.”

She was born Joan Molinsky in Brooklyn to Russian immigrants Meyer Molinsky, a doctor, and Beatrice. Rivers had a privileged upbringing but struggled with weight - she was a self-proclaimed “fatty” as a child - and recalled using make-believe as an escape. After graduating from Barnard College in 1954, she went to work as a department store fashion coordinator before she turned to comedy clubs. She had a six-month marriage to Jimmy Sanger.

In recent years, Rivers was a familiar face on TV shopping channel QVC, hawking her line of jewelry, and won the reality show “Celebrity Apprentice” by beating out her bitter adversary, poker champ Annie Duke. In 2010, she was featured in the documentary “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work.”

She never let age, or anything, make her sentimental. Earlier in 2014, she got inked: a half-inch-tall tattoo, “6M,” on the inside of her arm representing 6 million Jews killed in the Nazi Holocaust. In 2013, she brashly pledged to work “forever.”

“You never relax and say, `Well, here I am!’” she declared. “You always think, `Is this gonna be OK?’ I have never taken anything for granted.”

Survivors include her daughter, Melissa and a grandson, Cooper.

Crucial game ahead for WVU

card in the 51st minute. The Hokies left the Big East Conference following the 2004 season.

“I think some of the fouls we received tonight were the result of some hard challenges,” LeBlanc said. “I don’t think they were dirty by any means, but I think they were late. But I was really proud of my guys because they came to the defense of teammates and back each other up. I think even our football team would’ve been proud.”

The Mountaineers will look to make it four straight on Sunday at home against St. Francis.

The time is now.

The second game of the season for West Virginia may not even be against an FBS team, but coming off a heartbreaking loss in Atlanta to No. 2 Alabama, in which many positives were taken away by WVU, the Mountaineers need to show what they have been saying they’re made of throughout off-season and fall camp before things turn to an early 0-2 in 2014.

Do I think the Mountaineers will be victorious Saturday? Yes. But it’s a hesitant yes and for the right reasons.

The potential seen in this Mountaineer squad was surprisingly strong in their battle with the Tide. But, in the end, costly mistakes got the best of the Mountaineers – something that cannot happen against a team not even in the top college football division, even if Towson is a championship-caliber team in the FCS Division I league.

West Virginia’s defense gave up 538 yards total to Alabama – 250 yards coming from the Tide’s passing game and 288 yards from ‘Bama’s ridiculous running game – a number that is high no matter what team you are playing.

And yes, even when you’re playing Alabama, that number is too high because after just a few days of practice, the same Mountaineer defense has to go up against an offense that is loaded in its own way in Towson.

The Tigers have an athletic quarterback in Connor Frazier, who will be making his second career start and who has the mobility to make the defense be all over the field, and the entire Towson squad will be attempting to keep their 12-game road-winning streak alive in Morgantown.

“The quarterback is what makes them go,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “That kid played in the semifinals a year ago and brought them back. He has experience in big game.”

Redshirt junior linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski said the task lying ahead for the Mountaineers is a difficult one, but said he and the entire West Virginia squad have to enter the game just like they did with Alabama.

“They have some players that can hurt us in the run game,” he said.

“As a defense, we have to know where the quarterback, running backs and receivers are at all times. They can hurt us on the ground and in the air. They have weapons, and they are fairly quick.”

Time after time, West Virginia has played down to their opponent, and, time after time, those are the games that get the best of the Mountaineers.

With that exact situation once again presented to WVU, the key this time will be not so much of entering with the energy that’s needed but keeping that energy and game flow throughout the entire game Saturday night.

Sixty thousand plus fans will pack into Milan Puskar Stadium Saturday for the 7:30 p.m. kickoff. The Mountaineers know what they have to do, but now it’s a matter of if they will actually perform above and beyond for their 2014 home debut.

A victory Saturday would be huge for West Virginia, especially with an upcoming opponent who shut out the Mountaineers in 2013 in Maryland and No. 4 Oklahoma to follow that game in just two short weeks.

The task is simple: Win while you can, because things are only going to get tougher as the season progresses for West Virginia.

Mountaineers eager to bounce back at Milan Puskar Stadium Saturday night against Towson by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia is set for its home opener Saturday against Towson in Milan Puskar Stadium at 7:30 p.m.

In the two teams’ firstever meeting, both teams enter the game with 0-1 records.

West Virginia is coming off a closer-than-expected loss to Alabama, while Towson enters Saturday’s matchup following a 31-27 loss to Central Connecticut State.

“First and foremost, I can’t tell you how thrilled we are to be able to play

a home game, especially a night game, in Morgantown,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

West Virginia enters Saturday’s game with all the confidence in the world after hanging with No. 2 Alabama for four quarters last weekend.

The players fielded an array of questions Tuesday and gave their thoughts about shifting the focus from a primetime game last weekend to Towson.

“We treat every game the same. We don’t look at anybody like we are going to blow them out of the water,” said senior receiver Mario Alford. “We still prepare just like we

prepare for everybody else. We treat every game the same.”

Redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett said he believes West Virginia will have no trouble with the transition to Towson and said the players are going to be pumped up for a night game.

“It’s definitely going to help everyone, being the first home game and a night game,” he said. “People are pretty excited about the team. Night games are special here for a reason, and hopefully this Saturday will be another example of that.”

Towson finished the 2013 season with a 13-3

record, before falling to eventual Division I FCS champion North Dakota State.

Towson’s offense is led by junior quarterback Connor Frazier and sophomore running back Darius Victor.

West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said Towson has a new starting five up front on the offensive line, but their fullback and tight end are returning from 2013.

“They have a very athletic quarterback. He can hurt you with his feet,” Gibson said. “The tailback’s good. He’s a little guy, about (5-foot-7, 210 pounds), but he runs ex-

tremely hard.

“The quarterback is what makes them go. That kid played in the semifinals a year ago and brought them back. He has experience in big games.”

Frazier completed 14 of 26 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown, while Victor carried the ball 19 times for 105 yards and a touchdown against Central Connecticut State.

“Our guys are excited to run out under the lights,” Holgorsen said. “We’ve seen some of the new stuff that’s been done at the stadium, and I think the fans will be excited.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia blanks Hokies at home

WVU players celebrate after shutting out Virginia Tech Thursday night at home, 3-0.

by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia men’s soccer team continued its hot start to the season Thursday night, improving to 3-0 after defeating Virginia Tech 3-0 in front of 1,493 fans at Dick Dlesk Stadium.

The match snapped a 10year drought between WVU and Virginia Tech, and the Hokies now lead the series 7-4 all time.

The Mountaineers got on the board in the 25th minute off sophomore Mike Desiderio on a cross pass from senior forward Andy Bevin.

The goal was Desiderio’s

first of his career, after missing many opportunities during his freshman year.

“It’s about time,” Desidero said. “Last year, I think I hit three crossbars and a few posts. Finally, it’s my turn.

But it was a great setup.

Bevin had the ball out wide and on the initial cross, I ran in, but things weren’t happening. So, I decided to circle out and re-do my run, and he set me up perfectly off the header. I just kind of hit it and it went in.”

WVU’s second goal came less than one minute later off the foot of Jamie Merriam off a setup from Bevin.

The goal was Merriam’s third of the season after scoring two in 2013.

“Goals come in pairs, in soccer that happens all the time,” Bevin said. “You score that first goal, they get a little shell-shocked, then we pounced on them.

I pounced on a defender on a loose ball and Jamie was just in the right place at the right time. Scoring that second goal right after scoring that first goal is something we’ve talked about.”

Bevin scored the third goal of the game in the 75th minute after breaking down a defender and shooting on the goalie’s opposite side post. He tallied four points for the second straight game, and now has two goals and four assists so far this season. He also shot

the ball four times and three times on net during his 85 minutes of play.

“The funny thing about soccer is, we stunk and we’re still somehow up 2-0,” LeBlanc said. “I told the guys at halftime, “the bad news is, we’ve played about as poorly as we have all year, but the good news is you’re up 2-0. I thought in the second half we played excellent. We moved the ball and they got tired.’”

But the chippiness was the story of the night, as these two former conference rivals combined for 33 fouls. Louis Thomas, Joey Piatczyc, Jad Arslan were all issued yellow cards, while Merriam was hit with a red

WVU travels to Niagara for first road tournament

Doyle Maurer/The Daily Athenaeum

Nikki Attea, No. 2, prepares to serve against BYU Aug. 29.

by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team is participating in its first away tournament of the season this weekend at Niagara University in New York.

The Purple Eagle tournament will feature GardnerWebb, Providence, West Virginia and the host school Niagara.

The Mountaineers open the tournament against

Gardner-Webb at 1 p.m. today. The Runnin’ Bulldogs are 0-4 overall this season, having dropped matches against South Carolina, Jacksonville, Georgia Tech and Appalachian State.

Junior opposite hitter Nikki Attea said she is pleased with the direction of the team early in the year and is excited to play near her hometown of East Amherst, N.Y. “We’re on a three-game win streak. We just want to continue that into this

weekend. It’ll be fun playing in front of their home crowd and having some history with some of the team members we’ll be playing back there. It’ll be a good time,” she said.

West Virginia takes on Niagara this evening at 6 p.m.

The Purple Eagles are 1-3 on the season.

Head coach Jill Kramer said the goals she has for her team this weekend are pretty straight forward.

“We want to get better - we want to improve this

weekend, and I’d like to put some people in different roles,” Kramer said.

“There are some freshmen I want to get on the court and see what they can do. I think it’s a good opportunity for us to build our continuity offensively.

We’ve got to be better picking the spots we need to be in and making good reads from there.”

The last game of the tournament that the Mountaineers will play is against the Providence Friars at 11 a.m.

Saturday. Providence is leading the all-time series against WVU 9-7, but WVU has come out on top the last three times the teams have gone head to head.

“I think we’re really going to focus on our side of the net a lot,” Kramer said.

“The most important thing for us is being able to execute our game plan and play our game, and play better volleyball on our side of the net and come out with a win. The challenges the other teams present, we’re

not too focused on any one challenge. We just take care of the ball on our side of the net.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER

No. 13 WVU hosts 90 Minute Classic by ethan rohrbaugh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 13 West Virginia University women’s soccer team will be playing host to the 90 Minute Classic this weekend at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The Mountaineers (22), who last hosted the four-team tournament in 2012, will welcome UNC Greensboro, Hofstra and Indiana State to the invitational.

The first home win of the season for WVU came last Sunday, as the team rebounded from a 2-0 loss to Duke in the homeopener two nights before with a 2-0 defeat of Elon.

Ju n i o r midfielder Cari Price said the team needed to improve in all facets from its loss to Duke, but defending has been a primary area of concern. “(Coach) has been working a lot on defending because her philosophy is that defense wins championships,” Price said. “Not just defending in the back, defending in

the midfield and forwards getting back.”

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown said she has seen a lot of things improve over the course of these first four matches, but the way her squad has been playing defense is something that still needs improvement.

“Unfortunately we only have one shutout. The shutouts that we haven’t had have been the ones we haven’t won,” she said.

“I just think that in the game of soccer sometimes it’s just really difficult to finish, so you have to make sure that you’re getting shutouts and you have to be tight, compact and organized because anything can happen.”

Some would be quick to point to junior keeper and first year starter Hannah Steadman as a reason for WVU’s defensive lapses, but her teammates and coaches wouldn’t agree.

“You can never blame a goal on one single person,” Price said. “It was a team effort. Anything that happened, we all got down on ourselves for it.”

Steadman, who was given the daunting task of

replacing Sara Keane in goal this season, has allowed seven goals in her first four collegiate starts for the Mountaineers.

“I think, just as everyone on this team has made mistakes, Hannah’s made a couple mistakes,” Izzo-Brown said. “I know she’s willing and capable of eliminating those mistakes moving forward, and I know she will.”

WVU will play its first match of the Classic tonight at 7 when it takes on Hofstra.

The host-school will wrap up the invitational Sunday when it clashes with UNC Greensboro at 5 p.m.

Izzo-Brown said every game at this level is a tough matchup and the next game is always the hardest game, but she also added that Hofstra presents a bit of a different challenge.

“They have international team players from Italy, Germany, England and New Zealand,” IzzoBrown said. “It’s going to be a battle.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK “The biggest thing from last week that we were happy with on all three sides of the ball was our excitement level to play the game. It was off the charts. Our energy throughout the course of the game was at an all-time high. The effort that our guys played with was exactly what we wanted. I told them Sunday that they set the standard of how they are going to play all year. “

US tops Ukraine to finish basketball worlds group

AP

Rudy Gay, center, splits two Ukranian defenders Thursday.

BILBAO, Spain (AP) — The bags were already packed and the Americans had already checked out of their rooms.

The only thing standing between them and Barcelona was a game against Ukraine, and it took them a little while to get into it.

The U.S. national team eventually pulled away to win it and finish pool play unbeaten, getting 17 points from James Harden and 14 from Stephen Curry in a 9571 victory Thursday at the Basketball World Cup. Once that was over, the Americans could truly turn their attention where they wanted it.

“We’re looking forward to getting to Barcelona and starting the next part of the journey, the medal rounds, and taking things seriously,” Curry said.

Anthony Davis finished with 12 points for the Americans, who will face Mexico on Saturday night in the round of 16. The Mexicans finished fourth in Group D. It was closer than the usual U.S. game, but the Americans were never in any danger of losing in the second half after seizing control just before halftime against a methodical Ukraine team coached by former NBA coach Mike

Fratello.

The only scare was a hard landing by starting guard Kyrie Irving with 1:12 left, but he eventually got up and walked off holding his lower back. Coach Mike Krzyzewski said the Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star was expected to be all right.

The Americans left later Thursday for the next round, held in the city where the famed U.S. Dream Team won gold in the 1992 Olympics.

International fans and journalists still refer to a U.S. squad as the Dream Team, though this one doesn’t rise to that level.

But despite some significant player losses that left them with the youngest team they have sent to an international competition since pros could be used, the Americans have shown an occasional ability to dominate like some of their more potent predecessors.

They still managed to finish close to their tournament-best average of 104 points despite not making a field goal for nearly the first 5 minutes of the game.

Krzyzewski thought the poor start offensively may have been caused by the hectic schedule the Americans had before the game, and the fact they had already

clinched Group C a day earlier. Harden thought it was a result of the U.S. playing the second game of the day session, leaving less time than usual to get loose.

“We didn’t really have a chance to warm up. It was kind of like AAU basketball, so we kind of had to hurry up and get out there and get ready,” Harden said. “So first quarter we were kind of sluggish, second quarter we picked it up and second half we played pretty well.”

The Ukrainians were eliminated from contention after finishing 2-3. Fratello said they were told they fell short by one point in point differential and lost tiebreakers.

Fratello is a longtime TV analyst who returned to the sideline in 2011 to work for Ukrainian federation president Alexander “Sasha” Volkov, one of his former players with the Atlanta Hawks.

His team made the Americans work for nearly a half, then ended up getting blown out like everyone else.

“I was very proud of our performance,” Fratello said.

“We hung in there for about three quarters, kept it between 12 and 15, 12 and 15, but we turned the ball over every time we chipped away.”

Stephen Curry, right, tries to find a teammate with a pass Thursday.

The U.S. had another poor start, just as it did in previous victories over Turkey and the Dominican Republic.

There were hundreds of empty seats behind the basket that had been filled for the first game by Finland fans whose team lost. They didn’t miss much early from the Americans, who took nearly half of the opening period to make their first field goal and trailed for

much of the first half.

Ukraine led 19-14 after one and was still ahead 27-25 midway through the second before the Americans finally put a spurt together. Curry nailed a pair of 3-pointers as the U.S. outscored Ukraine 19-5 over the final 4:43 to take a 44-32 into halftime.

It grew to 69-54 after three, and a couple quick baskets at the beginning of

AP

the period got the Americans off and running toward an easy final quarter, though there were some concerned faces when Irving lost his balance after leaping and landed with an easily heard thud.

He finished with 11 points, as did DeMarcus Cousins.

Slava Kravtsov, who played last season for Phoenix, scored 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting for Ukraine.
