Students ready for Diversity Week by kendall snee Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University will hold its annual Diversity Week starting Monday. The event is sponsored by the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion groups and was created to promote diversity and growth among WVU students. The theme of the week is, “A place for you at WVU.” Diversity week promises to be interesting with events including live music from Rapper Chuck D and the band, Disillusion Effect.

There will also be lectures and discussions including one on sexuality portrayed in Orange is the New Black. Films discussing

prejudice and overcoming obstacles will be featured, all accompanied by the 75th celebration of the WVU Reed College of Media.

There will be food, drinks, entertainment and stimulating conversation. But most importantly, the events will give diverse students a chance to meet new people and experience an event that promotes being different in a positive way.

Diversity Week is headed by Sharon Mallow, event coordinator for the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion group.

“Diversity Week is a great time for students all to come together to hear about the rich Diversity of our Campus,” Mallow said. “All of the events are excellent lectures and activities in which to

learn from.”

Mallow explained all students would enjoy this event. Students will not only be able to meet people but will be able to learn and grow from learning about their experiences as individuals.

“The event provides shared learning opportunities designed to increase awareness, disseminate knowledge and develop skills and perspectives that will broaden understanding of diversity and inclusiveness,” Mal-

low said.

Mallow challenges students to gain new perspectives and to be unbiased in their evaluations of others.

Ryan Diviney’s ice cold realities of als Former WVU dean pens legacy lives on autobiography, remembers a life lived to the fullest by jennifer skinner correspondent @Dailyathenaeum

In 2010, Ryan Diviney depended on his father, Ken, for much. Ken Diviney brushed his teeth, bathed him and administered 50 medications.

By david schlake staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University is an institution that prides itself on unity and support for its own. That mentality will be reinforced Saturday when the Mountaineer Maniacs host “Ryan’s Rally,” a race to raise awareness about a former WVU student and forever Mountaineer.

Ryan Diviney was a sophomore at WVU in November 2009 when he and his friends, one of them being Brian McLhinney, were attacked by a group of fellow students near the Willey Street Dairy Mart. An argument started regarding the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team which soon became physical.

McLhinney was knocked unconscious and suffered a broken jaw. Jonathon May issued a punch to Diviney’s blind side, knocking him unconscious.

When Diviney fell, his head landed on a grate which caused damage to his brain stem and frontal lobes. Austin Vantrease, a 19-year-old visiting from Delaware, kicked an unconscious Diviney in the head.

The group of attackers, including Vantrease and May, hid behind a dumpster before fleeing the scene of the fight.

When paramedics found Diviney, he was bleeding from his ears and suffering seizures. Video surveillance from the convenience store showed Diviney trying to escape throughout most of the altercation.

He was taken to Ruby Memorial Hospital where he was given a very small chance to survive, as he suffered from a fractured skull, broken jaw and bleeding from his brain. Doctors informed his parents that the only chance he had of survival was a procedure that entailed the removal of approximately a third of his skull to allow for brain swelling. His chances of surviving

the procedure were about 50 percent, and his chances to survive the next three days after the procedure were even slimmer.

Diviney survived but is cared for full-time by his father at his home in Ashburn, Va. May was convicted of misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to a year in jail, of which he only served seven months. Vantrease was convicted of felony malicious assault and was sentenced to 2-10 years with a chance for parole after two years. He was paroled after four years.

The Mountaineer Maniacs will be hosting a 5K Saturday called “Ryan’s Rally” to keep Diviney’s case relevant, and to contribute to his family’s campaign to help him recover. Registration for the event costs $20 for each participant, all of which goes to the Diviney family. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the race begins at10 a.m.

It seems that the WVU community is getting behind Diviney and the event. Bob Huggins tweeted about it, calling it a “great fundraiser for an eternal Mountaineer.”

Those who register will receive T-shirts and local giveaways, including gift certificates from Tailpipes, Pies & Pints and Maniac merchandise. The top three male and female finishers will receive prizes as well.

“It’s a race, but people can walk,” said Glen Smithberger, Community Service Director of Mountaineer Maniacs. “It’s all about turnout and raising awareness for Ryan. Right now registration is around 70, but ideally we’ll have 150200 people by Saturday. All of the publicity for the event this past week should really help the turnout.”

The course for the race will be within the perimeter of the WVU Student Rec Center and the Engineering Campus. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, gained worldwide attention through the Ice Bucket Challenge earlier this month. Jamie Shumway, Emeritus professor of medicine and the former Associate Dean of Medical Education at West Virginia University, is currently putting together his story of living with the disease.

Jamie Shumway was forced to resign from his position at WVU in 2012 after 26 years of service at the University.

With the help of Renee Nicholson, an assistant professor of multidisciplinary studies, Jamie Shumway is about to publish his memoir.

Born and raised in northern California, Jamie Shumway graduated from University of the Pacific in California before moving to the East Coast, where he earned his Masters and Ph.D. from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He then married his wife Betsy Shumway, and the two of them moved to work in Morgantown.

Jamie Shumway was a faculty member of the West Virginia University School of Medicine from 1986-2012, when he resigned from his position.

The memoir focuses on Jamie Shumway’s life full of professional and personal adventures, including whitewater boating, rock climbing at Seneca Rocks, seeing the U.S. National Parks and traveling around the world to places such as Nepal, Saudi Arabia and north of the Arctic Circle. “(While some of these expeditions were for work), there were many where he just went out and found adventures,” Nicholson said.

“He recounts the things he learned. His stories are a way others can learn from his adventures,” Nicholson said of the “amazing things (Jamie Shumway) has done in his life.”

One of Jamie Shumway’s tales from his memoir is “a college road trip story to rival any road trip story,” said Nicholson, who said that college-aged Jamie Shumway

“So they load up the car and they don’t think it out, the way young men don’t think about things,” Nicholson said.

The two friends made their way to the Hollywood Palladium theater to hear some music. They went in to hear a band that was not revolutionary at the time but would later be known as “The Who,” playing music that would be on their 1969 album “Tommy”.

“She was the most influential person,” Skinner said. “She’d be excited for me.”

He said his school spirit and passion for WVU have been “passed down through the family.”

Since he came here as a student, Skinner said he has wanted to walk across Mountaineer Field with this title and has emphasized his devotion to his school, just like his grandmother did in 1954.

“WVU is a diverse place where everybody can be included, and there’s always something to do,” Skinner said. “That’s definitely something that’s molded me into the student I am.”

He said making it past the application process to the panel interview was an honor, but to then go further was beyond what he expected.

“I was pretty nervous, honestly. When I saw my name on the list, I was nervous, relieved and excited all at the same time,” he said. “Mostly, though, I just felt honored. To be picked out of all of those people who applied (and) to have my accomplishments seen as worthy in the eyes of the panel is greatly appreciated.”

He is also a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma honorary society and the WVU Finance Club.

Woloszyn said, should he be crowned king, it would leave no stone unturned at WVU. “I almost think that there is not much more for me to accomplish being a student here after all I have done, from dean’s and president’s lists to representing the University and West Virginia at leadership conferences.”

done much with the titles. If he wins the title of Homecoming King this year, Skinner said he will donate one-third of his campaign money to local charities that will be picked by WVU students.

“I want to involve the campus in deciding where the money goes. It’ll kickstart campus involvement in Homecoming and lead into the future of this title,” Skinner said.

“I want this to be a venue to lead into charitable contributions.”

Skinner ’s campaign concentrates on a “social media push,” including his Facebook page, http:// facebook.com/SkinnerForKing and Twitter handle, @TSkinner13. “ ( Ho m e c o m i n g ) i s something that isn’t as valued around here as it could be. I’m definitely glad to be a part of it for the first time,” Skinner said. “You’re coming here for an experience, not just an education.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

While he said he feels Homecoming King is more of an honor than an active role, Woloszyn would love the chance to be a representative of the WVU student body.

“If elected, I would love to use that position and attend alumni events to represent the current student body,” he said. “I would just like to be a general representative of the undergraduate student body themselves.”

With so much happening during this week of campaigning, Woloszyn was able to pick out his favorite moment so far as a member of the Homecoming Court.

“My favorite part so far has been Monday morning, the first real day of campaigning, (when) I started a Twitter account, @VoteNickWVU,” he said. “There were some people I know really well and some people I have met and don’t know so well, but there was just so much outreach from a lot of students. It was just really inspiring to see so many people backing my campaign. It made me want to do my best and be able to represent them. ” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Powerful earthquake rattles large swath of Alaska ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A powerful earthquake shook a large swath of Alaska on Thursday morning, knocking things off shelves and causing people to take cover but bringing no immediate reports of injuries or major damage.

The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.2, and it hit at 9:51 a.m.

The epicenter was about 80 miles northwest of the state’s largest city, where it was strongly felt, the Alaska Earthquake Center said. The quake lingered for at least a minute in some areas.

The earthquake center is in Fairbanks, 250 miles northeast of the epicenter, but it was felt, even there, said Sara Meyer, a center research technician.

“It was about 15 seconds of long-period shaking, sort of like you’re on a boat,” Meyer said.

Staffers at the Nesbett Courthouse in downtown Anchorage felt the shaking in their office on the top floor of the six-story

building.

“My computer tower fell off my desk,” judicial assistant Ellen Bozzini said. Everyone stood in doorways until an evacuation was ordered. Then they took the stairs outside, where they waited for about 20 minutes before being allowed back in the building.

There were no immediate reports of major damage or injury, and no tsunami was expected, according to an emergency management official. The fact that the earthquake’s center was, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, about 63 miles underground softened its impact on the state, experts said.

Bryan Fisher, incident commander for the state emergency operations center, said the office has received scattered reports of things flying off shelves.

But there have been no reports of any infrastructure damage.

The Alaska Railroad stopped all trains to check the tracks and bridges for damages, which is a prowinning.

“It’ll be different standing on the sideline trading my fanny pack, polo and khakis for a dress and a Homecoming sash,” Testa said.

Testa wants to encourage WVU students to break stereotypes and take advantage of every opportunity while showing school spirit. As part of her campaign, Testa is trying to raise awareness of diversity.

“You truly can be anything you want to be here and you don’t have to fit a certain criteria to fit into the WVU community,” Testa said. “As a small town girl coming from out of state, I wanted to fit in. The lesson I picked up through the years is don’t lose who you are.

Don’t be too busy trying to fit in.”

Testa believes that people are discouraged from running for Homecoming Court because they think they don’t match the typical Court stereotype. Instead of trying to fit into a mold, she challenges students to “go out and find yourself.”

“You only get these four years once, so try everything,” Testa said. “Never lose the desire to learn and find something you love.

Give it your all and make yourself diverse.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

and family interviewed him and recorded his stories in transcript form, which, according to Nicholson, provided “an amazing framework” to the book once she started to work with him.

“I read about his life. We get together two times a week, and we go sentence by sentence,” Nicholson said. “We’re just making sure everything is right. (Jamie) has worked really hard to craft this.”

Jamie Shumway and Nicholson have been working together on his memoir since January of this year, when Jamie Shumway’s physician contacted Nicholson through a mutual acquaintance. They have completed one full copy, and they are currently in the process of approaching publishers with their copy editor.

cedure after earthquakes, Fischer said.

In the MatanuskaSusitna Borough north of Anchorage, closer to the epicenter, there were reports of books knocked off shelves but no serious damage, borough spokeswoman Patty Sullivan said.

“We all felt it,” she said, adding she was sitting in her parked minivan when the quake happened. She believed someone was playing a joke on her and purposely shaking her van.

“I got out, expecting to find a laughing face,” she said.

In Willow, about 40 miles north of Anchorage, a clerk at the town’s hardware and grocery store said everything shook but nothing fell off the shelves.

“Everything just rocked around,” Anne Holliday said. “It’s an old building, just rickety.”

Debra Pearce, who works for Alaska Auction Company, said she has lived in Alaska for years and this was the strongest quake she felt since a 1964 temblor. That earth-

quake — a magnitude 9.2 — was the second-highest magnitude ever recorded, and the quake and resulting tsunamis killed 131 people.

“This was akin to that, the way it hit real hard and rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled, and you didn’t know if it was just going to pick up or not,” Pearce said.

Sandy Lee, who owns Sandy Espre Cafe in midtown Anchorage, said she didn’t feel the earthquake as she was driving to work.

When she got to her business, she didn’t know what had happened. Coffee syrup bottles littered the floor, and dolls had fallen off of shelves.

Jill Warburton was shopping at a department store when the quake hit. She said things fell off shelves, but they didn’t appear to be broken. When she got to her job at the Gold and Diamond Co. in midtown Anchorage, where she’s a sales clerk, a few decorative plates had fallen on the ground.

“I also believe that my time at West Virginia University has shown me what an honor it is to be (elected as) the Homecoming Queen, and I think that knowledge will help me to be a representative for the student body,” Lewis said.

ates this kind of campus awareness. Several students said they are already excited for next week’s events.

“I didn’t join anything when I first got here,” said Cheyenne Davis, a sophomore elementary education student. “I was worried that the campus wouldn’t be really diverse because of the fact it’s in West Virginia. I guess I was being a bit biased, but I love how there are so many people from different places here.”

Brittney Jackson, a sophomore political science student, said she was afraid

of not fitting in and how diversity can sometimes be seen as a bad thing.

“I feel that WVU having a Diversity Week is very important to all students but especially for me,” Jackson said. “Being a lesbian you don’t always meet other students with the same values as yourself. It’s nice to know I’m in an environment that I can feel accepted in.”

with Jamie. He never turns down an opportunity to go on an adventure.”

His wife and son, Wes Shumway, are pleased with the care and teamwork they have seen between Nicholson and Jamie Shumway.

“My mom and I are here to help him any way we can, but Renee has much more expertise than us in writing,” Wes Shumway said.

“She and my dad honestly clicked, and I couldn’t be more happy that they crossed paths.”

Betsy Shumway is excited for the memoir to be published so that its readers discover her husband’s devoted and audacious lifestyle.

“I hope that people see that a disease can come and change somebody’s course of their life, but they have amazing stories and warmth to share with people,” she said.

As he told Nicholson, Jamie Shumway wants WVU students to “learn to stay in the present” as he has his entire life.

“Work on something today. Think about what can you gain today,” he said.

“Don’t be preoccupied by worrying about the future, especially while facing a disease like this. Adversity has a way of providing a differ-

ent opportunity or a silver lining.”

According to Nicholson, the silver lining, in this case, happened when Jamie Shumway had to leave his work and then “had time to reflect, and he wanted to share that with others.”

In addition to being a WVU professor, Jamie Shumway was a team member for the Liaison Committee for Medical Education since 1989, served as Interim Dean of the WVU School of Pharmacy from 1994-95 and studied education and student competence while he was on sabbatical at the University of Dundee, Scotland, in 2000.

Recognized for his dedication to impacting local medical education, Jamie Shumway received the Servant Leadership award from The Generalists in 2010 and the Career Educator Award from the Southern Group on Educational Affairs of the Association of American Medical Colleges in 2011. Jamie Shumway is also a founding member of the West Virginia Rivers Coalition, the first statewide river advocacy group on this side of the Rockies, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this spring.

Mickelson, McIlroy square off in opening session

ap

Phil Mickelson said he’s prepared for competition in the Ryder cup.

GLENEAGLES, Scotland (AP) – Phil Mickelson poked fun at Rory McIlroy. Now they get to face off in the Ryder Cup. Mickelson and Keegan Bradley, undefeated as a team two years ago at Medinah, face the European powerhouse of McIlroy and Sergio Garcia in the opening session of fourballs on Friday at Gleneagles.

“We’re looking to hand them their first defeat tomorrow morning,” McIlroy said.

They will be the anchor match of what should be a fascinating opening session.

U.S. captain Tom Watson made sure all three of his rookies were on the course at Gleneagles right away, and two of them are partners – 21-year-old Jordan Spieth and 24-year-old Patrick Reed, the youngest pairing in Ryder Cup history.

Europe captain Paul Mc-

Ginley put together four pairings who have never played together in a Ryder Cup. That includes McIlroy and Garcia, who he said have become fast friends over the summer and asked to play together.

“The fun is only starting now,” McGinley said.

Mickelson took a playful jab at McIlroy on Wednesday when he said the best part of American unity is the players don’t “litigate against each other.” McIlroy has a court battle against his former management company, and the lawsuit involves Graeme McDowell.

McIlroy told Golf Channel on Thursday that he “got a couple of jabs back” at the gala dinner on Wednesday.

“I know Phil well and we had a couple of laughs about it,” McIlroy said.

Mickelson and Bradley went 2-1-1 as partners in the Presidents Cup last year,

so they are not unbeatable.

And while they faced some of Europe’s strongest tandems at Medinah – including handing Garcia and Luke Donald their first loss in foursomes – this might be the toughest yet.

“It’s going to be a difficult match against what we perceive as the strongest team that Europe has,” Mickelson said.

Watson went with his strength at the top. He chose Bubba Watson and Webb Simpson in the opening match against Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. Watson and Simpson won both fourballs matches at Medinah, beating both opponents on the 14th hole.

Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker will play the second match against Martin Kaymer and Thomas Bjorn, the 43-year-old Dane who is playing in the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2002.

Spieth and Reed will face Ian Poulter and Stephen Gallacher in what might be the most compelling match of the morning.

“I told them today, ‘I’m going to throw you in the ocean without a life preserver. You’re on your own.

You get out there and you get it done,’” Watson said.

Poulter is the most dynamic Ryder Cup player for Europe, a winner of seven straight matches and coming off a 4-0 record at Medinah. His rookie partner makes the team even more daunting. Gallacher, the only Scottish player at Gleneagles, lives about 35 miles (55 kilometers) away.

He received the loudest cheer during the opening ceremony.

“Absolutely buzzing,” Poulter said. “Playing with Stevie G, home course, in Scotland, first Ryder Cup. It’s going to be amazing. I

can’t wait to smash it down the middle.”

Spieth and Reed sounded up for the challenge.

“I don’t think you could have picked out two people that we want to play against more,” Spieth said. “I feel like our job is to win a point.

We can do that with those two guys. We’re going to really lower their team morale, I feel like.”

McGinley sat out two of his rookies – Victor Dubuisson of France and Jamie Donaldson of Wales. Also sitting out are Lee Westwood, who has been in every Ryder Cup since 1997, and McDowell.

Watson is sitting out Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar, who are Nos. 4 and 9 in the world. Furyk, however, is 1W-8L-1D in fourballs, with his only victory in 2006 with Tiger Woods as his partner.

Also sitting are Hunter Mahan and Zach Johnson, both

extremely accurate and perhaps better suited for foursomes in the afternoon.

Both captains said their plan was for all 12 players to be on the course by the end of Friday.

“People are going to say there is real strength at the top, real strength at the bottom,” McGinley said. “It’s really strength all over. I really, really rate this American team. We’re going to have to be on if we’re going to beat them.”

The Americans have not trailed after the opening session since 2006, though Bubba Watson was not sure a lead was critical - not after what happened at Medinah two years ago when Europe staged the greatest comeback away from home.

“We saw in 2012 that obviously a hot start is not the key,” the Masters champ said.

“It’s about finishing.”

5 teams passed on Jeter before Yanks NEW YORK (AP) – The 17-year-old kid from Kalamazoo drew all sorts of raves.

He was a “young colt” with a “perfect SS body” and was a “top student” who planned to study medicine at the University of Michigan, too.

“This guy is special,” one big league scout even wrote.

But, could anyone back then have projected that Derek Jeter the high schooler would someday become Derek Jeter the future Hall of Famer?

Now 40, Jeter is set to retire after this weekend.

A five-time World Series champion and sixth on the career hits list, he spent two decades as the shortstop for the New York Yankees.

Five big league teams bypassed Jeter in baseball’s amateur draft in 1992 before New York selected him with the No. 6 pick. A year earlier, Yankees scout Dick Grouch had first spotted Jeter after his junior year.

“It was one of those serendipitous events,” Grouch recalled last week. “I was going to cover a tournament on the other side of the state, and I knew they were having this talent identification camp at Mount Morris High School, so I stopped just to get a glance as to what was transpiring.”

This time, there was indeed something worth seeing.

“About 5 or 10 minutes in, he was taking groundballs at the time, and then he did things that caught my eye,” Grouch said.

With the short high school season, Jeter didn’t

play many games during the school year, so Grouch watched him with the Kalamazoo Maroons summer league team. And then Jeter injured an ankle early in his senior season, limiting his playing time.

But Jeter already had caught the attention of scouts for many teams, according to reports that later went to baseball’s Hall of Fame.

Cincinnati scout Gene Bennett wrote in April 1992 that Jeter aimed to study medicine at Michigan, adding he “has leadership ability with good makeup” and possessed “skills similar to (Barry) Larkin as high school player.”

Larkin, who played college ball at Michigan, became a Hall of Fame shortstop with the Reds.

The California Angels’ Jon Niederer noticed Jeter was “somewhat thin-chested and `pointy shouldered,’” saying he had a “good face – very young looking” and was a “top student from a high class family.”

Niederer said Jeter had “all the tools to play the game at a high level.” He took note of his “very quick hands and feet – so quick they can get him set up to make a play before the ball arrives and he looks out of synch.”

Ed Santa of the Colorado Rockies said Jeter had a “perfect SS body” and projected him to have All-Star potential.

“You get excited just watching him warm up,” he wrote in May 1992.

Dave Littlefield, who

scouted Jeter for the Montreal Expos and went on to become Pittsburgh’s general manager, wrote a report that praised Jeter’s body type and bode well for future success.

“Hi butt, longish arms & legs, leanish torso,” he said. Among his other remarks was the “young colt” description.

“I think I got most of that right,” said Littlefield, who now scouts for the Chicago Cubs. “I wish in retrospect we had picked him.”

Jeter says he never really focused on scouts and is pretty sure they first showed up to scout another player on his summer team.

Grouch observed Jeter for about a year but tried not to interact with him.

“He always stayed away.

He kept his distance,” Jeter said.

Grouch had a reason for his behavior.

“I did not want him to know that I was at the ballpark,” he said. “I sat in my car. I was in the bushes. I was in the woods. I didn’t want him to play for me, because I wanted to see how he handled failure. And every game that he played was

the same.”

As the draft approached, Yankees’ director of scouting Bill Livesey made the trip to Michigan to watch him play.

But the entire organization avoided contact. Five other teams were ahead of New York.

“We pretty much zeroed in on him, but none of us wanted to get our hopes up,” Livesey said. And when Yankees executives met on the day before the draft, there was one last internal hurdle to overcome – and it was a big one.

“Mr. Steinbrenner was not real high on taking high school kids, simply because they were too long from the big leagues. So we had to convince him,” Livesey said, referring to late owner George Steinbrenner, who was suspended from baseball at the time.

“He asked me how long it was going to take for him to be in the big leagues,” Livesey said. “It was a little bit of the fib: I told him four years.”

The five teams ahead of the Yankees didn’t take Jeter. Not Houston, not Cleveland, not Montreal,

Promoting diversity a full-time job

commentary

‘Good vibes’ not just ‘hippie’ territory hannah chenoweth columnist @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University will celebrate diversity next week. Diversity is one of the top issues in the University’s 2020 Strategic Plan for the Future. Being surrounded by diversity is a great thing that makes us grow as individuals.

We like to claim that we are all about celebrating diversity, but the fact that we feel a need to promote diversity is a failure in itself.

By forcing diversity, we acknowledge that we are different from one another.

Labeling a person based on ethnicity, skin color, nationality, sexual orientation or otherwise, is giving young generations the wrong idea. If everyone kept an open mind and judged people by their actions rather than their cover, we would

not need to celebrate Diversity Week.

Unfortunately, we are not there yet, which makes an initiative like Diversity Week great. Society is slowly becoming more accepting of individual differences, but in many cases, we are only accepting of it when it suits us. The past few months have shown us this.

With both the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and the current ISIS inferno in Syria, we slowly tend to turn to religion, ethnicity and skin color in our observations and conclusions.

Last week, the Student Muslim Association and The Mountaineer Organization for Relief Efforts organized a vigil outside the Mountainlair to show support for

the American victims of the ISIS attacks in Syria.

The fact that Muslim students, living thousands of miles away from the attacks, feel a need to take a clear stand against it shows us just how misinformed we are, and how prejudice is ever-present in society.

A person should never have to defend him or herself on an issue they have nothing to do with.

Next week, take the time to become more informed about other cultures and learn to look beyond the stereotypes.

The University should continue to embrace it; hopefully, one day, we will, too. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Time always repeats itself with ‘True Detective’

I am definitely a bookworm. At times I have to make a conscious effort to be social and not read in the presence of other people, a rude habit I was reprimanded for as a kid. However, despite how often I read, it’s not often that I come across a book that I think has the power to change the world.

“The Hidden Messages in Water” by Masaru Emoto was a book that I couldn’t put down and reread almost instantly. Although it was short, it contained an extremely powerful message - one that I think we are all aware of on some level, but tend to disregard or ignore. It is the fact that every action has an energy in the universe that causes a ripple effect, which is either positive or negative.

This lesson was reinforced by an unlikely teacher: Water.

This book is based on a series of experiments performed by Japanese researcher Emoto. Emoto saw much significance in the fact that our bodies are made up of 70 percent water. He believed that how we treat the water inside of us affects how we treat ourselves and others. So, he decided to test the water outside of us by creating his own freezer where he froze natural water and took pictures of the crystals formed.

The effect of words and music was tested on the water, and it couldn’t be clearer. Positive and affirming phrases taped to the inside of the cups made beautiful crystals.

Negative phrases, like “You fool,” produced distorted, sad-looking crystals. Ditto with music - classical music made gorgeous formations, while heavy metal with obscene language did the opposite. Treating the crystals with cruelness led to a deformed shape, and neglecting the crystals completely stunted their growth even worse.

This experiment was tested in a variety of languages, from Korean to French, and the results

were the same each time.

The water reacted to the phrase “Let’s do it!” with crystals shaped like flowers and diamonds. When Emoto instead demanded “Do it,” no lovely shapes ensued at all.

The fact that we as humans are comprised of so much water shows how negativity can damage us.

The water reacts to anger and frustration the way people tend to. At the same time, it shows the beauty of the human soul when exposed to kindness, compassion and a song such as Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony. Emoto’s findings on the crystals has made a splash throughout the world, landing on the New York Times Bestseller List. The simple, sweet formation of a crystal told “You’re cute” moved scientists all around the world to tears.

The most beautifully shaped hexagonal crystal of all was the cup labeled “love and gratitude.” If this doesn’t prove the vibration of good words, I don’t know what does. I think it’s time that terms like “good vibes” and “negative energy” are no longer deemed New-Agey or hippie-dippy. Emoto’s experiment can help raise awareness of how we can all make a positive impact on our health and the world. It also shows the incredible power of a specific, concentrated thought.

Whenever you feel something negative about to come out of your mouth, take a second to remember the effect it would have on the water crystals. Emoto believes these crystals contain the answer to saving the world; water is, after all, the force that gives us life.

Do you want to make a beautiful, whole crystal or a fragmented one?

What kind of mark do you want to leave on the world? What we can take from this simple, yet powerful, book is that our words and actions do matter.

We all have the power to spread positivity and light throughout the globe and to stop negativity from infecting the planet. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

It’s here. My favorite neonoir mini-series, “True Detective”, finally released the cast list for its upcoming second season. Pizzolatto-verse fans can now rest easy knowing Nic Pizzolatto, the writer and producer of the show, won’t be having a sophomore slump this season. Who cares if the HBO head honchos only announced two principle actors so far? That’s good enough for me.

Oddball Colin Farrell and funny-man Vince Vaughn have been penned as two

DA

of the soon-to-be four lead roles in the upcoming season of the acclaimed “True Detective.”

While these actors’ affinities for roles and movies may contrast in a grand canyon-sized way, their onscreen charisma will make them a deadly pair.

Vaughn has mastered the charming everyman persona, which is exactly why he is the last face I expected to see in a gritty crime drama. He can pull off dating Jennifer Aniston all while being skinny fat.

While Vaughn is an underrated dramatic actor, starring in diverse roles like John ‘Sheriff’ Volgecherev in “Return to Paradise,”

or Wayne Westerberg in “Into the Wild,” he hasn’t had a hot streak since “Old School,” “Dodgeball” and “Wedding Crashers” all came out in consecutive years. A trip to the small screen is just what Wes Mantooth needs.

In fact, he’ll be getting to play a credited villain for the first time since “Starsky and Hutch.” Vaughn has been cast as, “A career criminal in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner,” per HBO. Now, if there was an actor who was born to leave the silver screen for its syndicated step-child in

the name of playing weird and quirky cop – it would be Farrell. Farrell has mastered bringing strange, weird and complex characters to life on screen. It’s the common man roles, which made Vaughn famous, that Farrell flounders in. Season one brought us classic quotes like, “It’s all one ghetto man, a giant gutter in outer space,” and “Time is a flat circle.” Can’t you see Farrell saying stuff like that?

Can’t you see him as, “A compromised detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him,” per HBO? Rampant speculation

and rumors will continue until the full cast list has been released. Even then, they probably won’t stop until the first episode premieres, a date which hasn’t even been set yet.

It has been confirmed that shooting will take place in California, but not Los Angeles. CNN has reported on a rumor of a Chinatown setting, however, nothing has been confirmed.

Some fans may be upset that no female leads have been announced - that Pizzolatta will once again make it a man’s man show, where the women are either virgins or whores and unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

There was speculation that HBO would cast all female leads in the second season to combat such critical, but valid points. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

After all, “True Detective” is a show about men.

Men who start drinking at noon on a Thursday because that’s their day off, or men who keep sidepieces half their age because they’re too smart to get caught, or so they think.

Time may not be a flat circle, but it is a circular river that ebbs and flows with the ages – or at least the TV schedule. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Open mic entertains

By Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @Dailyathenaeum

Picture yourself standing in front of a crowd on a Thursday night. Lights are glaring in your face, casting a sea of silhouettes in front of you.

This is what 12 brave performers did Thursday night during the Mountainlair’s first Open Mic Night of the year.

In lieu of the professional comedians the Mountainlair usually hosts Thursday nights, they dedicate one night every few weeks to allow amateurs to try their hand at entertaining the WVU community.

The show was heavily dominated by comedy. Every style from the boisterous and ridiculous to the awkwardly comical was displayed on stage.

Clyde McAllister’s comedy was loved by the crowd.

He delighted them with his jokes about how Swiper the fox from “Dora the Explorer” was clearly white due to his lack of criminal expertise.

Another of McAllister’s jokes regarding how his neighbor may be a serial killer due to favoring a strange flavor of ramen was also quite the crowd-pleaser.

“Comedy is all about per-

spective,” McAllister said, “and twisting reality.”

Trevor Day was another comedian whom the audience seemed to enjoy. His jokes about dealing with his manipulative yet adorable biracial niece made the audience roar with laughter.

Another of his routines regarding a hypothetical situation where his mattress caught him cheating on her with his fouton was also well-received by the audience.

“I shoot not to entertain but to offend,” Day said. “If you can offend one person in the audience I guarantee you another one will be crying with laughter.”

One of Day’s secrets is to do what he finds funny.

“I tell jokes that are funny to me,” he said.

Jordan Bailey, a common face at open mic comedy nights across Morgantown, brought his signature brand of awkward comedy to the stage.

When asked what drove him to perform comedy Bailey said, “Basically money, the magic I feel inside and the chance to buy all the candy I want.”

While not every comedian scored a ton of laughs, each one tried their best and had fun doing it.

The audience was encouraging, making sure

to clap after every performance and laugh at the jokes they thought were funny.

Comedy wasn’t the only type of act performed. Some people came out to share their passion for music.

A few of the performers wowed the audience with their guitar performances, playing both original songs as well as covers of favorites.

One performer brought his laptop on stage, playing original instrumental tracks while singing along.

Overall the night was rather successful, and there was quite a turnout. Many people seemed to enjoy the show.

“It was really good. A lot of comedians,” said Logan Melvin, a freshman mechanical engineering student.

“I thought it was really dope,” said Christian Cline, a freshman criminology student. “I was surprised to see Silent Joe up there. He’s really buzzing on Twitter.”

Be sure to check out the free weekly shows at 9 p.m.

Thursdays in the Side Pocket of the Mountainlair.

The entertainment cycles frequently, changing between professional comedians, open mic nights and karaoke. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Tapping into creativity at WVU

West Virginia University introduced dance as a major in 2013.

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

A year since its formation, West Virginia University’s dance program has already taken great strides toward becoming a respected major on campus.

For the past 85 years, dance has been a part of student life at WVU, whether it’s dance classes, teams or an activity just for fun.

Last fall, dance was introduced as an official major in the College of Creative Arts’ School of Theatre & Dance, allowing dancers to follow their dreams.

Before the program became recognized as an official major at WVU, there wasn’t a college in West Virginia, besides Davis & Elkins, that offered students a major in dance. WVU is the first public university to introduce the major.

Before the program began last fall, the only way students could pursue a degree in dance was to either go to a university that is out-of-state or attend a private university.

Introducing the major at WVU opened it up to a variety of students from different socio-economic classes, allowing some to get in-state tuition. For some, this is a last chance to fulfill a dream.

Sophomore dance student Kathleen Sweat is one of those people.

Sweat, from Cross Lanes, W. Va., began dancing at the age of 3, and it has been a major part of her life since.

“I was excited that WVU got a new dance major, and I wanted to get involved,” Sweat said. “I knew I didn’t

Tyler Herrinton/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

want to stop dancing after high school, and the major is a way I can keep dancing while taking academic classes.”

Sweat was accepted into many dance programs across the nation, but couldn’t pass on the Promise Scholarship.

In order to be a dance major, students must audition.

The audition is composed of a ballet class and center work in modern dance. Following that, students perform a short solo in any style at a minimum of 90 seconds long.

Last year, roughly 25 dancers were accepted into the program.

“There wasn’t that much promotion into gaining dancers,” said Yoav Kaddar, the associate professor and director of the dance program. “People just arrived here through word-ofmouth and our limited promotion that we have done in-state by attending various local dance festivals and events.”

The program offers a variety of dance courses and dance styles for students to partake in, instructed by an accomplished and professional faculty. The staff consists of past dancers, coaches and instructors with a lot of experience.

The program put on three public performances last year and took students to The American College of Dance Association Conference where they presented two student-choreographed pieces as well as attended workshops and classes throughout the conference.

The program also presented a student-choreographed

piece at the WV Dance Festival in Charleston in the spring.

Over the summer, students and professors alike teamed up to host the fourth annual WVU Summer Dance Academy for dancers ages 5-18 as well as two programs for dance educators.

“Dance in higher education is more than just moving in the studio,” Kaddar said. “There are many related courses that go into creating and getting a program nationally accredited, which this program will work towards.”

“Besides taking classes, faculty and students work after-hours attending rehearsals and creating new dances for our various shows. Everyone works long days beyond just attending class.”

In order to further advance the program, the school and the University will be further promoting the major by using marketing tactics to establish a national standing. By doing this, the program will be able to recruit many more dancers.

“I look forward to having additional full-time faculty,” Kaddar said. “Of course work and class space is essential, and as we grow that will have to be addressed, as well.”

The program just completed auditions for the fall concert, “A Celebration of Dance,” which is scheduled for the end of the semester.

Currently, they are also rehearsing for the annual main stage production, “DANCE NOW!” which is scheduled for early February. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

The Clarks talk origins, fame, the future

BY Jillian Clemente Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Many bands meet in college and have the dream of making it big. Eventually, all the members get real jobs and things putter out.

The first part of that story happened for The Clarks, who will playing at Schmitt’s Saloon Saturday night.

For almost 30 years, Scott Blasey, Robert James, Greg Joseph and Dave Minarik have been rocking around the country with their Americana rock band after meeting at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

“We graduated from school, and I was working in Pittsburgh,” said Joseph, the band’s bass player.

He graduated a year earlier than his bandmates. After a year of commuting back and forth, all members moved to Pittsburgh. They all had day

jobs but still shared the burning desire to be a full-time band.

“We finally ended up quitting our day jobs because we could afford to do the band full-time,” Joseph said.

It took them a few years to get off the ground, but they are now soaring into stardom.

The plus side of doing this for almost 30 years is the band gets to grow with the members, both musically and lyrically.

“There have been a few phases of the band,” Joseph said. “We started out young and full of angst and had a very raw talent. The music was harder and more angry, and, as you go through life, that changes.”

Joseph described some sound changes from the original raw sound to more pop and even a bit of country.

“As we get older, the actual lyric-writing becomes more advanced (and) becomes

better,” Joseph said.

There was a brief period, however, where the band was a little burnt out. Luckily, they banded together, and Joseph said they are now in “a whole new area of growth.”

They love traveling and exposure to other cultures.

“It wasn’t like a two-week vacation from my job. It was my job,” Joseph said.

One of those trips took his band to “The Late Show with David Letterman.”

“I thought it would be a little more nerve-racking,” Joseph said. “It was more of a high-pressure situation.

When we got into it, there was something really comfortable around it. You could tell we were having fun doing it.”

This was their biggest TV appearance, but they’ve had songs featured in commercials. The Clarks’ cover of “Wonderful World” was even used as part of the marketing campaign for the Pittsburgh

ironcityrocks.com

The Clarks were inducted into the Pittsburgh Hall of Fame in 2011.

Penguins’ 2008-09 season, according to clarksonline. com.

“It’s something that a lot of people don’t get to experience, to tune in and get to hear,” Joseph said. “I still cherish these moments.”

The Clarks play approximately 50 shows each year

and have more than 10 released studio albums, EPs and DVDs. The band is on tour now to promote its newest album “Feathers & Bones,” which was recently released in July.

“I think our producer put together a really, really strong album,” Joseph said. “I think

this will go down as our favorite released album that we’ve ever done.”

The Clarks will be playing at 8 p.m. Saturday at Schmitt’s Saloon. Tickets are $20 for those who are 21 years and older. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

In honor of its fourth annual Oktoberfest, the Morgantown Brewing Company is inviting the community to experience traditional German culture Saturday. From locally-brewed beer to German cuisine, attendees will be sure to find a way to celebrate.

“It’s not only fun for our customers but for us as well,” said Lauren Sandberg, the Morgantown Brewing Company’s marketing director.

“It’s a fun way to bring everyone together over the love of beer and autumn.”

The brew pub is inviting people of all ages to attend the event. There will be games for the family, brews for the beer-lovers and music for everyone.

“It is a family-friendly event with activities for the kids and adults. Students should come to get the most authentic Oktoberfest you’ll get in Morgantown and a taste of the Oktoberfest experience,” said Dina Brewer, manager of the Morgantown Brewing Company.

“People should come to Oktoberfest because it’s Morgantown’s premier Oktoberfest celebration.”

The brew pub’s staff will be serving customers in traditional German clothing.

The female employees will be sporting dirndls, and the male employees will be dressed in lederhosen.

Beer bratwurst, frankfurters, soft beer pretzels with mustard and German potato salad will be on the grill.

“They should expect traditional-themed German

dishes with a local twist,” said Brian Crowe, the head chef of the Morgantown Brewing Company. “We will be incorporating local products, including beefalo from Brookside Farm in Aurora, W.Va. We will also have hog from Stemple Brothers’ Farm in Terra Alta, W.Va., and produce from a multitude of local vendors.”

Attendees can expect tastes of beer cooked directly into their food.

“We will be offering a variety of traditional German games, German Polka music and a representative body of the German club.

(There will also be a) homebrewers competition, featuring a grand-sized category of German-style beer.”

Aside from the traditional food and beer, the brew pub will be displaying arts and crafts throughout its restaurant, some sponsored by the Monongalia Arts Center.

A portion of the money will go to the MAC, an organization committed to providing home for the visual, performing and literary arts through programming in the local area.

Brewer said she hopes the outcome of this year’s Oktoberfest is a success.

“They have gotten more successful every year,” Brewer said. “My hope for this year is to have as many people and to have a great time.”

Hide your wives SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah’s attorney general has decided to appeal a ruling that struck down parts of the state’s anti-polygamy law in what marked a significant victory for the family on the reality TV show “Sister Wives” and polygamous families living in Utah.

Advocacy groups for polygamy and individual liberties hailed U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups’ December ruling in favor of the TLC reality show’s Kody Brown and his four wives as a landmark decision that removed the threat of arrest for plural families in Utah. The ruling was made final about a month ago, and Attorney General Sean Reyes filed paperwork Wednesday saying Utah will appeal to the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal will be filed within two weeks, Reyes spokeswoman Missy Larsen said.

Reyes’ chief of staff, Parker Douglas, said it is office policy to defend any law that is challenged for constitutionality so long as there is a defense. He said they aren’t taking any political position, but rather seeking clarity so state residents know the reach of the state’s polygamy law.

“If the attorney general doesn’t defend a law, he’s just let the representatives of the people down by essentially vetoing it through non-defense,” said Douglas, who oversees cases that go through federal courts.

He said they will use office attorneys on the appeal, meaning there will be no out-

side cost.

Waddoups ruled a provision in Utah’s bigamy law forbidding cohabitation with another person violated the First Amendment, which guarantees the freedom of religion.

Brown family attorney Jonathan Turley wasn’t immediate available for comment but previously said the family is prepared to take the legal fight to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.

In a blog post Wednesday, Turley argued that Utah should not challenge a ruling that reaffirmed freedom of religion and equal protection. “Utah is a state that was founded by citizens seeking those very rights against government abuse,” Turley wrote. The Brown family filed their lawsuit in July 2011 and fled Utah for Las Vegas last year under the threat of prosecution.

Waddoups’ ruling decriminalized polygamy, but bigamy - holding marriage licenses with multiple partners - is still illegal. If the ruling stands, Utah’s law would be identical to most other states that prohibit people from having multiple marriage licenses. In most polygamous families in Utah, the man is legally married to one woman but only “spiritually married” to the others.

Polygamy is a legacy of the early teachings of the mainstream Mormon church, but the Salt Lake City-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abandoned the practice in 1890 and strictly prohibits it today.

West Virginia travels to Texas for a pair of matches

Big 12 matchups in Week 5

WVU freshman Carla Portillo attempted a goal kick during the Villanova game earlier this season.

by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The title defense begins now. The West Virginia women’s soccer team will start conference play this weekend as they take on TCU and Texas.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown is always saying she’s “never satisfied.” If it was up to her, there would be more preseason games and more non-conference games.

The Mountaineers, however, seem ready to defend their Big 12 championship. Aside from one draw against Georgetown, WVU is bringing a six-game winning streak into its matchup

against TCU tonight.

“TCU is tough,” IzzoBrown said. “It’s just huge that we get results on the road. This team wants another championship, they want their fifth (including Big East titles) championship in a row.”

TCU mimics the Mountaineers, as the Horned Frogs are also on a six-game win streak.

The last time the two teams met, it took overtime for the Mountaineers to come out on top. It was a physical battle, and IzzoBrown said she is expecting the same intensity to be present this year.

“TCU definitely came into Morgantown and roughed

our feathers up,” Izzo-Brown said. “Definitely don’t underestimate their physical play.”

Along with TCU, the Mountaineers will have to play another Texas squad Sunday when they face the Longhorns. Last year, WVU took care of business, beating the Longhorns 2-1 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

West Virginia seems very well-rounded heading into these games. The offense has been scoring nearly four goals each game, while the defense rarely gives up more than one goal.

“You can’t deny the points we’re putting up on the board,” Izzo-Brown said. “It’s not as easy as one player. I

shannon mckenna/the daily athenaeum

think the scout on West Virginia is a little bit more difficult than just one or two players.”

One player who continues to become more comfortable in her role is freshman Michaela Abam.

Abam started her first two games last weekend and is expected to play a key role as the Mountaineers begin Big 12 play.

“It was difficult at first,” Abam said in regard to starting games. “It’s getting into the third and fourth game, and I feel like it should be more common-like when I’m coming on the field.”

“I think Michaela’s finally gotten comfortable,” Izzo-Brown said. “She’s one

player I’ve asked a lot of. I just think Michaela is understanding her role.”

The team’s confidence remains high. After an upand-down start to the season, the Mountaineers have really put the pieces together and appear to be clicking on all sides as conference play starts.

It’ll be a quick weekend road trip for the Mountaineers, but to return home with two victories is all IzzoBrown is asking for.

The Mountaineers and Horned Frogs will kick off at 8 p.m. tonight, while the game against Texas will take place at 2 p.m Sunday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – It’s unlikely that anyone at Ohio State last winter had ever heard of Gunner Kiel.

Now the unique moniker of the Cincinnati quarterback is on every Buckeye’s lips.

“It’s one of those names,” linebacker Joshua Perry said. “It’s like (with a name like) Gunner, he’ll throw the ball around.”

Kiel and his pass-happy Bearcats (2-0) come to

COME OUT AND SUPPORT KEGLER’S SPORTS BAR @ the

2014 Chicken Wing Cook Off! @ Triple S Harley-Davidson Saturday September 27th 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Ohio Stadium on Saturday night to provide a daunting challenge for 22ndranked Ohio State and a defense that has had troubles with throwing teams in the past and is hoping to prove it has found a solution.

It’ll be an interesting matchup. The Buckeyes (2-1) will try to get to Kiel before he can duplicate his incredible numbers from his debut three weeks ago. And Kiel will try to pick his spots against a young Ohio State secondary that has yet to be really tested.

A f t e r s u r re n d e r i n g 38.33 points and 380 passing yards per game in the final three games a year ago, Ohio State replaced safeties coach and co-defensive coordinator Everett Withers, who took the head coaching job at James Madison, with Chris Ash, who completely rethought and rebuilt the defensive philosophy. The Buckeyes, supposedly, are more aggressive and less reactive on defense, although that hasn’t been apparent in the first three games.

Now it’s time to find out whether the new approach works.

“This team is a real legitimate throwing team,” head coach Urban Meyer said. “This will be a giant test for us.”

There are good reasons why everyone is talking about Kiel, a 6-foot-4 sophomore out of Colum-

bus, Indiana. He leads the Football Bowl Subdivision in points responsible for per game, 30 a contest. In his two career starts, he has completed 50 of 76 passes for 689 yards and 10 touchdowns, including a glittering 25 of 37 for 418 yards and a school-record tying six touchdowns in a 58-34 win over Toledo in his debut.

“He’s a guy who has a lot of confidence and looks through all his reads,” said Ohio State cornerback Doran Grant, who’ll likely see a lot of Kiel’s passes on Saturday. “He’s a talented guy. He didn’t play much last year. So we’ll see what he’s got.”

Safety Tyvis Powell added, “For the secondary, this is big. Because this is the best quarterback with the best widereceiver group we’re going to see all season. So this is the best time to show the fans that the pass defense has improved.”

Of course, the Buckeyes are well aware it’s not just the secondary that’s under the microscope. The line has to apply some pressure, and the linebackers must do their part, too.

“We’ve got to make him feel uncomfortable,” said tackle Adolphus Washington, a Cincinnati native. “We’ve got to make him move around a little bit so he can’t just stand there and lock onto a target and get the ball down the field on us.”

As Week 5 of the college football season is underway, all but one Big 12 team, TCU, will have had at least one conference matchup in the books by the time late Saturday night rolls around.

With much hype surrounding one of the top conferences in the nation entering this season, the room for a couple teams to dig their stake at winning the Big 12 Conference title and a couple of teams of moving themselves towards the bottom of the Big 12 circus can be serious.

Though it won’t be more than the second Big 12 matchup for any member of the 10-team league, with mid-season quickly approaching and two Big 12 teams currently being ranked in the AP top 10 (No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 7 Baylor), the race to win the Big 12 and be in great contention to grab one of the four College Football Playoff spots is on the minds of many.

Saturday will bring about two more Big 12 matchups, with each of the four competing teams in completely different areas within the conference.

Though the Horned Frogs (2-0) will look to remain undefeated as they travel to Dallas to take on the winless SMU Mustangs and No. 25 Kansas State (2-1) will be looking to rebound at home following its closer-than-expected loss to No. 5 Auburn just over a week ago, most eyes will be focused on two other teams in the Big 12 from the Lone Star State: The Texas Longhorns (1-2) and Baylor (3-0).

The two squads have had completely different starts to their seasons,with the Bears seeking to be the best in the Big 12. However, that won’t be easy with No. 4 Oklahoma playing its best ball in a while.

Still, the Baylor offense, led by senior quarterback Bryce Petty, has had plenty of time to fix all that was in need of fixing during their bye week in Week 4 and is now attempting to gain slightly more respect around the country in their 2014 Big 12 debut against the Iowa State Cyclones.

Currently, the Baylor offense ranks first in the country in points per game, averaging 59.3, and second in points allowed with the Baylor defense only allowing an average of nine points per game thus far.

The task for the Cyclones won’t be easy, and for that and many other factors, I see the Bears rolling to a quick 4-0 to start 2014.

Now, for the Longhorns – wow – they have struggled to say the least.

Besides the on-the-field issues with the Longhorns since Week 1, earlier this week, Texas announced the release of its ninth player this season, junior offensive tackle Kennedy Estelle.

Texas will be traveling to Lawrence, Kan., to take on a Kansas squad that surprisingly has above a .500 record to start this season.

Standing at 2-1, the Jayhawks will be looking to add to the downfall that has been and continues to be Texas football. In head coach Charlie Strong’s first year at the helm for the Longhorns, nearly nothing has gone right and virtually everything has gone wrong.

However, a victory Saturday could slowly begin some positive momentum, as the Longhorns will need more confidence than they currently have with Baylor up next on their schedule. anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

HOME SWEET HOME

nick morales/the daily athenaeum

WVU forward Andy Bevin scored a goal against UC Irvine earlier this season.

Mountaineers return home, take on Niagara tonight at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The Mountaineers need some relief. Whether or not that is in the form of returning home to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium is to be seen, but home is where the heart is.

West Virginia returns home after a three-game road trip that ended less successfully than they had anticipated. A 1-2 road swing is not what the Mountaineers had hoped for returning home, but they have to make up ground now to

become contenders in the MAC Conference. The road to recovery begins tonight when the Mountaineers take on the Niagara Purple Eagles at home.

The Purple Eagles bring a similar record to the pitch, standing at 3-4-1 on the season. Niagara has only registered six goals on the season, and they have not scored more than two goals in any one game. In all four games the Purple Eagles have lost, they have been shut out by a combined score of 10-0.

Despite its lack of goalscoring success, Niagara

has had good fortune on the road this season. The Purple Eagles have played to a 2-1-1 record in their four away games this season. The Purple Eagles are also able to get over 50 percent of their shots on goal. This season, they have shot 58 times, with 31 of them on goal.

Most recently, Niagara fought to 1-1 draw with the Pittsburgh Panthers Tuesday night. Niagara received a gift from the Panthers with an own goal to tie the game in the 68th minute and would hold on to the tie throughout overtime.

In West Virginia’s most recent action, the Mountaineers dropped their fourth game in five matches with an overtime loss to James Madison. West Virginia jumped out to an early lead but were unable to hold on to it. A goal in the second half of overtime sealed the Mountaineers’ fate.

West Virginia is looking to hold off the Purple Eagles in its first home game since early September. The road has not been the Mountaineers’ friend in the early part of the season, and they will hope for more success in

this home game. West Virginia is currently 3-2 at home with one of those two losses coming against ranked UC Irvine.

Callum Willmott is the Purple Eagles’ leading scorer heading into tonight’s matchup with two goals to his credit. West Virginia brings three players who have scored more than three goals into the game. Jamie Merriam is the leading goalscorer with five, while Andy Bevin and Ryan Cain have three goals eaach. Bevin is leading the team in total points with 12, and Cain

scored all three of his goals in the Mountaineers loss to the James Madison Dukes.

The Mountaineers need to turn their season around if they want to keep pace in a talented MAC Conference.

West Virginia sits in fourth place in the conference and will have to start their winning ways again to catch up to the top teams in the conference.

West Virginia will take the field at 7 p.m. tonight at Dick Dlesk Stadium against Niagara. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU looks to rebound against Texas Tech by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team will travel to Lubbock, Texas, to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders Saturday afternoon.

The Red Raiders are 13-0 on the season and 1-0 in the Big 12 while WVU is coming off a loss to Texas Wednesday night, putting the Mountaineers at 10-4 overall, 0-1 Big 12. Tech played TCU Wednesday and won its conference

opener for the first time since 2007. Senior Breeann David had a careerhigh 23 kills, and the Red Raiders took care of TCU in four sets, after dropping the first one.

In the loss to Texas, WVU’s Nikki Attea had a career-best 20 kills and 14 digs, Jordan Anderson added 19 kills and Hannah Sackett topped off the double digits with 14 kills.

Head coach Jill Kramer said they will have the same mentality coming into the Texas Tech this weekend as they did go-

ing into Texas, even after the tough loss. “I think they’ll respond really well,� Kramer said. “Of course it’s my job to see the bright side and at the same time want more, and I think that’s a big balance that you have to have.

But at their core I believe they’re optimists, but they have realistic optimism.�

Junior Nikki Attea said taking the loss wasn’t going to affect the way they go into Lubbock Saturday afternoon. “The outcome of this match has nothing to do

with our next match with Texas Tech, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where our focus is set,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a really mentally strong team, and we treat every match separately. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to learn from it and see what we did well. Our only losses this season were to ranked or close-to-ranked teams.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play them just as hard as we played Texas, and hopefully we get a win.â&#x20AC;?

Tech has been playing very well offensively with its two setters combining for 584 assists on the sea-

son, while WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting setter Lamprini Konstantinidou has 525 assists and Brittany Sample has 17.

Hitting-wise, WVU can probably keep up with Tech as their outside hitter with the most kills, Jenna Allen, has 154 on the season and Anderson has 225 racked up for the Mountaineers.

Kramer said preparation for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first away conference match will be the same as any game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What this team is great at is focusing on what they

can handle at the present moment,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we talk about every single day, I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll talk about in practice. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll watch video just like we normally would and kind of look through some things we need to get better at and improve from there, and get focused on Tech.â&#x20AC;?

The match will start 3 p.m. Saturday at the Texas Tech United Supermarkets Arena. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
