WVU to open LGBTQ Center on campus

By Paige Czyzewski Associate City Editor @PaigeCzyzewski

West Virginia University will establish a LGBTQ center on campus, according to a WVU Today press release, naming a nationally recognized scholar to lead the way.

Wednesday afternoon, WVU announced Dr. Cris Mayo as the upcoming center’s director and a full professor in the Center for

Women’s and Gender Studies. Mayo, current director of online learning at the University of Illinois and a professor of education policy, organization and leadership, will assume duties on July 1, 2016.

“She’s truly a pathbreaking scholar in terms of her exploration of academic achievement of LGBTQ students and how conditions at a university can affect their achievements,” said WVU Provost Joyce

McConnell, a LGBTQ advocate. “(Mayo) writes about how we support our LGBTQ students so they can be successful at a university and that their experiences (should be) positive and lead toward promoting academic achievement.”

The center will develop programs and outreach initiatives, offer academic and curricular support, advocate for the community, build coalitions and “serve as the hub of the so-

WVU Food Recovery Network hosts events to raise hunger awareness By madeleine hall staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s Food Recovery Network is raising awareness about homelessness and food insecurity this week, calling on students to tackle inequalities in their community.

WVU’s Food Recovery Network sponsored a series of events in tandem with National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, Nov. 1622, including a presentation on ideas to combat food waste by Suncrest Middle School students and a panel of local leaders entitled “Hunger: the Cost in your Community.”

The final event, a screening of “Just Eat It! A Food Waste Movie” will show at 7 p.m. on Thursday in the Gluck Theater.

“Food recovery is not very popular because, for large businesses, it’s easier to just throw the food away,” said Hilary Kinney, a leader of the Food Recovery Network at WVU. “I thought this (campaign) would be a great opportunity for us to have some awareness events.”

Logistical challenges of food recovery, such as obtaining food handlers permits and working with large dining halls accustomed to a certain routine, are difficult for the Food Recovery Network to overcome, Kinney said.

For students interested in recovering food for the needy that would otherwise be wasted, Kinney said the Food Recovery Network will be starting recovery from new locations in the spring semester and welcomes new members.

Other on campus organizations are working to combat hunger and homelessness, as well.

The Food Justice Lab at WVU, founded in 2010 by Dr. Bradley Wilson of the Geography Department, allows students and faculty on campus to conduct research together on food inequality and insecurity in West Virginia and abroad. “(Food Justice is) not just about food,” said Rebecca Speer, an undergraduate researcher in the lab. “It’s about the environmental impact,

New voting system proposed for 2016 SGA elections by caity coyne city editor @dailyathenaeum

Election season for the West Virginia University Student Government Association is looming, with Student Body President and Student Body Vice President candidates able to announce their intent to run on Dec. 2.

At Wednesday’s meeting, WVU students Ankur Kumar and Ricky Kirkendall proposed an innovative option that would change the way students vote for SGA elections.

Their proposed voting system would use an app on iPads that would allow students to vote securely and conveniently at polling locations, instead of the voting machines SGA rents from the Monongalia County Clerks office.

The app runs on a “blockchain,” the same technology used by Bitcoin servers to deter hackers and ensure security.

“Votes that are entered in the blockchain can never be altered or deleted by us—the coders— (or) by a University administrator or by a student,” Kumar said.

“It’s physically impossible to do that unless you control 51 percent of the world’s Bitcoin servers.

That would be almost like controlling two countries’ data centers.”

Blockchain technology has been called “the trust machine” by The Economist, and last year Denmark’s Liberal Alliance political party used the technology for its internal elections with no problems, Kumar said.

But some were skeptical.

“I love the idea, I love the premise,” said SGA advisor Daniel Brewster, “but I find something a little unethical about someone who is going to vote in the election being responsible for the cod-

cial, intellectual and physical community,” according to the 2013 Proposal for an Office of LGBTQ Programs at West Virginia University.

There is no official name or location for the center yet.

While Mayo finishes her time at Illinois, Dr. T. Anne Hawkins, named interim director in October, would run the center. Hawkins is WVU’s chair for the Commission for LGBTQ Equity and the Clinical Director of

the Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychiatric Services.

“Our next steps are me working with Dr. Mayo to develop the building blocks of the center and to make sure that when she arrives on campus, she hits the ground running,” Hawkins said.

The Office of the Provost is searching for a program coordinator for the center, as well.

In 2013, the Division of

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion gathered a task force to design a proposal for a LGBTQ center. It called for an office that would assess current practices and policies, as well as help create a “fully-inclusive University.”

McConnell said after President E. Gordon Gee took office in 2014, the Commission for LGBTQ Equity initially mentioned the idea for the center

Multiple Morgantown restaurants face health inspection violations

By John Mark Shaver Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Many of Morgantown’s popular restaurants had several critical health inspection violations recently, although the reality of these violations might not be as threatening as they seem.

In accordance to the FDA’s 2005 Food Code, which the state of West Virginia follows, inspections in Monongalia County are done on a pass or fail basis.

“For (a restaurant) to fail, you have to have any uncorrectable, critical item that will require us to come back and do a reinspection,” said Monongalia County Program Manager for Environmental Health Jon Welch. “If there’s a critical item that they can’t fix while we’re on site, then we’ll return in 10 days. It just depends on the severity of it.”

Monongalia County’s Health Department has an online database of every county health inspection in the last several years.

Consumers can go to the website and see anything the inspection marked unclean, unappealing or unsafe. Every six months, routine inspections occur.

Just because a restaurant passes an inspection, however, doesn’t mean it’s violation-free.

Hibachi Japanese Steak House near the Evansdale Campus, for example, has repeatedly been written up for insects, such as cockroaches and fruit flies, in the restaurant, some inside the grills.

Washburn said, despite insect violations being present in three of the past five routine inspections.

Most of these violations, other than the insect problem, were corrected by their Nov. 17 follow-up inspection.

While a restaurant may have several critical violations, many—like the ones at Casa D’Amici and Oliverio’s—are easy to fix and often resolved during the inspection itself.

From left, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., Rep. Dan Newhouse R-Wash., Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, and Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., confer in a basement corridor on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2015, following a meeting of the conservative Republican Study Committee ahead of legislation aimed at increasing screenings for Syrian and Iraqi refugees before they enter the U.S., including a requirement for FBI background checks.

Obama threatens to veto House GOP bill on Syrian refugees WASHINGTON (AP)—The White House on Wednesday threatened a presidential veto of House Republican legislation aimed at increasing screenings for Syrian and Iraqi refugees before they enter the United States, calling new requirements in the bill “untenable.”

The legislation, which sets high hurdles for refugee admissions, including FBI background checks and individual sign-offs by top federal officials, “would provide no meaningful additional security for the American people, instead serving only to create significant delays and obstacles in the fulfillment of a vital program that satisfies both humanitarian and national security objectives,” the White House said.

President Barack Obama would veto the legislation if it reaches his desk, the statement concluded.

Republican leaders, eager to respond quickly to

Friday’s terror attacks in Paris, had described the bill as a middle-ground approach. It institutes tough new screening requirements, but steers clear of demands from some Republicans, including presidential candidates, for religious questioning or a complete end to the U.S. refugee program. It is scheduled for a House vote Thursday.

“This is common sense.

And it’s our obligation,” Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin said on the House floor ahead of the veto threat. “If the intelligence and law-enforcement community cannot certify that a person presents no threat, then they should not be allowed in.”

In the Senate, lawmakers emerging from a closed-door briefing with administration officials Wednesday night said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Republican Sen. Jeff Flake planned to

introduce a bill that would restrict visas for any individual who had been in Iraq or Syria in the past five years.

Sen. Dick Durbin, DIll., said Republicans are focused on a refugee program that is “serious and arduous,” but 20 million foreign visitors come to the U.S. with visa waivers with no fingerprinting or background vetting.

“Now that has to be r e f o r m e d ,” he said.

Only around 2,200 Syrian refugees have been allowed into this country in the last four years and they already go through a comprehensive vetting process that can take as much as three years, including biometric screening, fingerprinting and additional classified controls. The new bill would add a requirement for the Homeland Security secretary, along with the head of the FBI and the Director of National In-

telligence, to certify that each refugee being admitted poses no security threat.

The FBI also would be tasked with coming up with a way to conduct a “thorough background investigation” of refugees fleeing chaos and horror. Although Syrians tend to be heavily documented, Democrats questioned how that could be accomplished. The current refugee program, along with Obama’s plan to add 10,000 more Syrian refugees this year, would likely come to a stop while the new protocol is established.

Republicans had hoped that Democrats, facing pressures from nervous constituents, would support the bill in large numbers. Yet even before Obama announced his position, Democratic leaders were turning against the legislation, complaining of changes to the bill they said would have the practical effect of keeping

refugees out of the U.S. entirely.

“Some in Congress intend to use this tragedy to shut down the U.S. refugee program, turning our backs on victims,” Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Zoe Lofgren of California and Bennie Thompson of Mississippi said in a joint statement.

Obama, traveling overseas, had earlier ridiculed Congress for jumping on the refugee issue after failing to come up with legislation authorizing the use of military force in Syria, which he has been seeking for months.

“And now, suddenly, they’re able to rush in, in a day or two, to solve the threat of widows and orphans and others who are fleeing a war-torn land, and that’s their most constructive contribution to the effort against (the Islamic State)?”

Obama said in the Philippines. “That doesn’t

sound right to me. And I suspect it won’t sound right to the American people.”

The conservative group Heritage Action for America also announced its opposition to the bill, saying it gives too much authority to appointees of Obama.

Nonetheless, many of the House conservatives who’ve caused problems for GOP leadership on legislation of all kinds said they would support it.

Senate action, though, is not likely until after Congress’ Thanksgiving recess. And with little chance for the bill to become law, several conservatives said the real action could come on a pending must-pass spending bill that has to clear by Dec. 11 in order to keep the government running. Some want to use that bill to cut off funding for the refugee program - foreshadowing another potential government shutdown fight.

sga

mar said using the iPads would only cost between $11,000 and $13,000.

Emma Harrison, SGA elections chair, doesn’t see the technology being used until it is tested by WVU. “It’s in the works, and it’ll save a lot of money. We just need to get it tested to see if it works,” Harrison said. “I don’t see it working for this SGA election since it’s so soon, but if it were approved it would probably go into place for the next Homecoming election.”

Also at Wednesday’s meeting, Student Body Vice President Ashley Morgan announced to students changes in tuition payment plans for the spring 2016 semester.

All University fees are due in full by Dec. 18, a change from past semes-

ters where the 60/40 payment plan gave students more leniency in paying tuition.

On Jan. 11, students will be charged a 1.5 percent late fee on any outstanding charges on their student accounts, according to an email from WVU. This is a developing story, please check with the Daily Athenaeum at a later time for more information.

Jonathan Riseberg, SGA executive director of art, also announced that another mural project will be underway for the University On Beechurst Avenue, and it will be bigger than the mural painted earlier this year near the PRT. New business at this Wednesday’s meeting included: - Awarding $775 to the WVU Government and

Politics Association for five of their members to attend a national conference in Washington D.C. The money will go toward the registration fee for the five members.

- Awarding $1,200 to the Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship group to invest in coffee, milk and creamer to hand out to students every week. The money will go toward purchasing the coffee, and, according to estimates from the group, about $90 of the products will be passed out to students for free each week at the Free Speech Zone across from the Mountainlair.

roots solutions have been undertaken to combat food inequality and insecurity throughout West Virginia.

Gerardo Valera, an undergraduate ge ography student, focuses his research on alternative food, or food produced outside of the conventional economic system.

Valera pointed to community initiatives like Grow Ohio Valley, which

increased residents’ access to healthy food through urban gardens and mobile food pantries; community initiatives that were not brought forth by the state government or private corporations.

FoodLINK acts as an arm of the Food Justice Lab, hoping to alleviate food inequality in West Virginia by connecting the research at the lab with the public through spreading awareness on complex issues of

food inequality and sharing information on various statewide emergency food organizations.

FoodLINK was launched in mid-October during Food Justice Day on WVU’s campus.

Political student organization The Young Democrats is also taking time to give back, focusing its efforts on the daily struggles faced by the homeless.

Mindful of the upcoming

harsh winter in Morgantown, The Young Democrats launched a campaign for donations to make kits for the homeless that include basic survival items like blankets, said Ashton Cutrer, a Young Democrats member.

The organization is also promoting a friendly political rivalry on campus through the campaign, labeling each donation jar with a different political party.

More importantly, The Young Democrats want to ensure the donations have a strong local impact, said Matthew Winkler, another member of the organization.

“We’re trying to make sure that people’s donations stay in the area,” he said. “(This way), they can see direct change resulting from their contributions.”

come in at a time where (the president and I) were able to really understand the significance (of a center) and push it forward,” McConnell said. “It just takes commitment, and people who see this as something that really matters and can make a difference for our students.”

Julia Durbin, a sophomore chemistry student and president of WVU

Spectrum, said she “can’t make a blanket statement for everyone” and the University is “better than people give us credit for.” She remembers times where a student would use an insensitive slur or someone would yell hurtful comments at LGBTQ community members.

She believes the center will be a “safe place for students” on campus, and

students will be able to “go there easily and be connected to anything they need.” “(A LGBTQ center) would take the weight off of the students... students graduate, students aren’t here forever, so having something in place at the University level would be great at making sure that the LGBTQ community has a voice, especially in terms

of programming diversity with education or Diversity Week,” she said.

Though WVU has a “long way to go,” Durbin said people would also “feel more welcome” with a center because the University is trying to effect change.

“A lot of people I’ve talked to are relieved,” she said. “There was a lot of skepticism because there’s been word of a center for

so long that people gave up hope. A lot of people are regaining their hope and becoming happier that WVU can make progress.”

Mayo is excited for her new position, according to the press release, and said the University is “well positioned to continue to improve the climate on campus and beyond.”

Kumar assured that WVU Information Technology Services would examine the code and find no back door before approving it for use.

Kumar and Kirkendall proposed this technology as part of their business, SureVoting, and in the end, they would be making money off the system, Kumar said. But he and Kirkendall believe this could save money for SGA, as well.

Walking more aids environment The driving service Uber has caused controversy for many reasons across the country. Cab companies in major cities have blamed its introduction into urban areas as hurting their business, and its unwillingness to hire full employees, only contract drivers, hurts workers by denying them long-term benefits like health care and unemployment.

Now it seems Uber is also in trouble environmentally. A new study will examine the effect Uber has on the environment.

On the surface, Uber may seem like the most convenient environmentally-friendly option available. People living in large urban areas are free to use buses and subways until they stop running, after which they can simply request a ride home through Uber’s phone application. Because of this, people who would otherwise have driven to each location throughout the evening could cause fewer emissions.

Taxi drivers in France block the entrance to a major highway as a protest against Uber.

However, because of its ease of use and cheap costs, Uber users could request rides to places they could otherwise walk or take the bus to.

Americans aren’t known for their eagerness to make sacrifices for the sake of creating a smaller carbon footprint.

People from all socioeco-

nomic classes widely use public transportation in Europe, but when living outside major cities, most Americans prefer to own their own car and drive

cles. Other countries like France and the United Kingdom own 578 and 519 respectively.

This attitude could be contributing to how Americans use Uber. An article from the website Citylab brought attention to the prevalence of the “bus stigma,” which involves associating using public transportation with having a lower income. This, when combined with a widespread lack of pedestrian-friendly areas across the country, leaves many’s first choice as using a car to travel even when a destination is within walking distance.

In this way, Uber isn’t the problem, the American concept of travel is.

Asking for help leads to success, unexpected benefits

jaykogami.blogspot.com

Amanda Palmer broke a record on Kickstarter for earning more than $1 million dollars by asking her fans for monetary donations.

kayla asbury columnist @kaylaasbury_

One of my biggest weaknesses is my inability to ask for help. No matter what situation I find myself in, I would rather struggle to accomplish a task than inconvenience someone else. However, on the rare occasion that I do ask for help, I am always surprised by how willing people are to lend a hand.

In her TED talk, “The Art of Asking,” musician Amanda Palmer discussed how her life as a street performer spurred her career of asking for help. She recounted asking for help from her fans in a variety of ways, such as ask-

ing to sleep on their couch and donating to her Kickstarter, which earned more than $1 million dollars and broke the website’s record.

Palmer is proof of the effectiveness of asking for help. She has risen to fame with the help of fans across the country. Given her success, why don’t more people model their habits after those who are successful with others’ help?

I think what holds people back the most from asking for help is their sense of pride. Pride prevents people from admitting to their weaknesses, which hinders them from bettering themselves. I think our society trains us to be extremely self-sufficient and teaches that asking others for assistance

is a sign of weakness or failure.

When asking for help, I think we should remember most people ultimately want to help others when they’re in need instead of turning them away. I don’t believe people are inherently selfish or cruel; think of all the people who help others pick up dropped items or return money to its rightful owner instead of simply taking it for themselves. Even these small actions demonstrate an inherent willingness to aid other human beings in need.

We should realize most people are kind and accommodating instead of inconsiderate and self-interested, and know that they would rather help than see us struggle. We should be more trusting of

others and know that most people have our best intentions in mind.

More people should ask for help daily, and not just with tasks or chores. Simply asking for someone to listen to us talk about our problems can provide just as much relief as someone taking over a shift at work. A surprising number of people in the world suffer from clinical depression and other debilitating mental illnesses, so sometimes just having someone listen to them when they need to talk is enough to make a difference.

Though Palmer advocates for asking for help in achieving one’s goals, she also advocates for working hard. I believe the harder you work toward your goals and advocate for what you care about,

mance art.”

As the students explained, this project was meant to voice an objection to the daily violence against women, either in reality or metaphorically through lyrics in popular songs, which they succeeded in doing given the reaction.

I would like to affirm that the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies does not condone violence in any form.

It is a shame that everyone’s attention was diverted away from the numerous other high quality and varied projects that

close to 350 students presented at the Fair. Topics included, among many others, the role of women in Appalachian culture, representations of women in the media, the role of women in sports, violence and sexual assault, body imagery, women in politics, as well as food deserts in West Virginia.

I apologize that this sensationalized photo has caused offense, although it is my fervent hope that the hip hop context provokes further thought, discussion, and opening of minds.

the more people will want to help you. However, if you are constantly asking for help without putting forth your best effort, people will rarely want to help you.

This is where the line is drawn between asking for help and being needy. I find that people who feel entitled and think they deserve help from others are the ones I want to help the least. Someone who constantly asks for help but barely upholds their job or role in society doesn’t deserve outside assistance.

Asking for help can be a humbling experience, as it allows for opening up to someone and demonstrating where one is weak or insufficient. While this sounds scary in theory, asking for help can be a

comforting experience instead of a frightening one.

Realizing there are people, sometimes total strangers, who are willing to assist you is an experience that can restore one’s faith in humanity.

Although being independent and rarely needing help is a good quality, it is natural to depend on others on occasion. Asking for help won’t always work out, but most cases tend to follow the old saying, “Ask and you shall receive.”

As finals week rolls around and difficult tasks and intense emotions abound, I suggest you ask for help if you feel you are struggling. You may just be surprised at the kindness and generosity you receive. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

From pumpkin spice lattes, to pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, everything fall starts with pumpkin. Just as classic to the fall theme, Thanksgiving couldn’t be complete without a pumpkin-infused dessert or two. An authentic Thanksgiving dinner would be hard to complete without a classic pumpkin pie. It’s hard to imagine Thanksgiving without the twice-baked, mashed orange squash, and for a Connecticut town in 1705, it was inconceivable.

The small town of Colchester, Connecticut postponed their annual Thanksgiving feast due to a molasses shortage in the community, forcing families to forgo the baking of their traditional pumpkin pies.

We can almost always rest assured the orange gourd will make an appearance on our Thanksgiving table. The decadent sweet and spicy custard filled pie is rarely ever paired with a crust, but is served with whipped topping nearly every time.

RECIPE:

1 can (15 oz.) canned pumpkin 1 can (14 oz.) condensed milk 2 large eggs 1 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp salt 1 unbaked pie crust For more on how to prepare, visit http://allrecipes.com/recipe/23439/perfect-pumpkin-pie/.

SWEET POTATO PIE

BY CHELSEA WALKER A&e wRTIER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Sweet potatoes are a staple item featured on every Thanksgiving menu. While the potatoes can be served up savory, they’re best known for their sweet side. The pie first debuted in the 16th century, when the British first began crafting pumpkin pies to take to West Africa.

As African Americans were brought to America, they began substituting sweet potatoes for the pumpkin, giving the pie a sweeter flavor. Often baked for celebrations, sweet potato pies are now a traditional Thanksgiving dish, ranking among classics such as stuffing and turkey.

With butter, sugar and heavy doses of cinnamon and nutmeg, the classic pie is often served with a melted marshmallow topping. The staple piece of soul food is known for going topless, with only a thin flaky bottom crust.

There are many different versions of pecan pie, including a version with a layer of chocolate.

As a specialty of the south, pecan pies have been associated with Thanksgiving dinner for centuries.

The pecan itself was introduced to American settlers by Native Americans and has ever since made appearances in cookbooks since the 1920’s. Some also suggest that the recipe’s true inception wasn’t until 1930, when a Karo Syrup corporate sales executive’s wife claimed she dreamt up the idea. The pecan pie, like the apple, has been served with an array of beverages and toppings. Many prefer the dish with coffee, others with bourbon. Bourbon whiskey and chocolate have been incorporated into the sweet, yet salty dish. The pie, made primarily with corn syrup and nuts is often coupled with variations from honey and brown sugar, to molasses and maple syrup. Toppings for the southern staple include whipped topping or vanilla ice cream.

What kind of American feast would be complete without hot apple pie? As the saying goes, there are few things more American than apple pie. There truly are few things that are more classic than an apple pie at Thanksgiving. Apple pies have been served with outlandish toppings from ice cream and whipped topping to cheddar cheese.

Just as varied as the toppings, the pie itself comes in an array of forms, from Dutch style to English Pudding and Swedish style, where a top crust is traded for a crumbled top.

SUGAR-CRANBERRY PIE

1 c. sugar 1 ½ c. corn syrup 4 eggs ¼ c. butter 1 ½ tsp vanilla 1 ½ c. pecans 1 unbaked deep dish pie shell

If you’re not a fan of the traditional cranberry sauce that makes its way to the Thanksgiving table year after year, try crafting this pie up instead. The sugar-cranberry pie is a sweet way to spice up the often-overlooked plate of sauce. While many skip a serving of cranberry sauce on turkey day, the way in which the cranberry ended up as an essential Thanksgiving piece is quite unique. As colonists first arrived in North America, they realized cranberries were twice the size of the traditional berries they were accustomed to baking with. Since the berries are well known for their tart flavor, copious amounts of sugar is added to sweeten the natural flavor. In this pie recipe, cranberries aren’t the only main filler; pears are added with lemon juice, orange zest and butter, creating a sweet, citrusy taste. While it’s only optional, a dollop of vanilla ice cream served atop the sugar-cranberry pie adds a sweet and cool touch.

Questions and answers on Subway Jared’s sentencing INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle is due to formally plead guilty and be sentenced on charges of having traded in child pornography and paid for sex with minors. Here are some questions and answers the judge will consider during Thursday’s hearing in federal court in Indianapolis: WHAT’S NEXT? Fogle agreed in August to plead guilty to one count each of travelling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and distribution and receipt of child porn.

On Thursday, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt is expected to formally accept his guilty plea before listening to witnesses testify and sentencing Fogle.

WHAT ARE THE ALLEGATIONS? In a plea agreement with prosecutors filed in August, Fogle admitted to having received photos and videos of minors who were nude, changing clothes or engaged in other activities from Russell Taylor. Taylor had run Fogle’s nonprofit foundation and allegedly used hidden cameras to capture the images in Taylor’s Indianapolis-area homes. Prosecutors say Fo-

gle got photos or videos of eight of Taylor’s 12 alleged victims, but that all 12 are considered Fogle’s victims because he didn’t do anything to stop Taylor. Fogle has also admitted to having paid for sex with two girls under age 18 at New York City hotels.

WHAT’S FOGLE’S POSSIBLE SENTENCE? Fogle’s lawyers are seeking a five-year prison term, which is the minimum mandatory sentence he faces under the charges he’s agreed to plead guilty to. Prosecutors are seeking a 12½-year term, which was the most they agreed to seek under Fogle’s plea deal, and a lifetime of post-release supervision. But federal judges have wide discretion, and Pratt could disregard the prosecution’s recommendation and sentence Fogle to up to 50 years in prison on the two counts.

WHAT WILL THE JUDGE CONSIDER? Pratt will consider the sentencing memorandums that prosecutors and Fogle’s attorneys filed outlining their reasoning for their recommended sentences for Fogle, who has no prior criminal record. She also will consider a confidential

pre-sentencing report compiled by federal probation officials that may contain more detailed information on the investigation into Fogle, his likelihood of reoffending and whether he might respond to treatment for “hypersexuality and alcohol abuse/dependence,” according to his attorneys.

Fogle’s attorneys are expected to call a psychiatrist and a psychologist to testify Thursday about the “medical issues” the 38-year-old father of two faces. Several victim impact statements have also been filed under seal for the judge to review. Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven DeBrota said some of Fogle’s victims will be watching Thursday’s hearing from a secure room in the courthouse and any of them can testify.

WILL FOGLE’S RESTITUTION TO VICTIMS LEAD TO A SHORTER SENTENCE? Fogle agreed to pay a total of $1.4 million to his 14 victims, with each getting $100,000. As of last week, 11 of those victims had received their restitution and prosecutors said the three others were expected to have arrangements in place to be paid by the

time of Fogle’s sentencing hearing.

Indiana University law professor Shawn Boyne said Fogle’s ability to pay a large sum of restitution will help “to some extent alleviate the harm” he’s caused his victims. But Boyne said she doesn’t think Fogle’s ability, as a wealthy man, to pay such a large amount of restitution will lead to a shorter sentence. She said Fogle’s wealth - like those of other well-heeled defendants - allows him to retain top private attorneys, thereby boosting “the quality and the depth of the arguments his attorneys make on his behalf.” Boyne said those attorneys can also hire expert witnesses to evaluate Mr. Fogle and provide court testimony - “something that’s not available to all” defendants.

WHERE WILL HE SERVE HIS PRISON TIME? Fogle can ask the judge to request a specific federal prison where he will serve his time and judges often agree to make that request.

But the Federal Bureau of Prisons will make the final decision. Among the factors prison officials can consider is whether a prison is adequately equipped to pro-

Boyne said that where an inmate serves his or her sentence is usually based on the nature of the offense and criminal history. She said the prison system will consider Fogle’s celebrity status and the nature of his sex-crimes because anyone facing prison time for “an offense of this nature typically experiences a rougher time, a more difficult time in prison because they’re singled out by other inmates.”

WHAT’S HIS JUDGE’S REPUTATION?

Pratt is relatively new to the federal bench, having served in her current post for about five years.

Indianapolis-based criminal defense attorney John Tompkins said federal sentencing statistics show that Pratt more consistently metes out punishments on the high end of the federal sentencing guidelines than other judges in the Southern District of Indiana. “I don’t know if that makes her tougher or not. It might just be the kind of cases she ends up sentencing on,” he said.

With precision Todd Haynes captures ‘Carol’ Brilliant and insane NEW YORK (AP) — Subtle and gorgeous, Todd Haynes’ period romance “Carol” swells and staggers with the tremors of an unexpected love. The setting (1950s New York) and the characters (played by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara), may seem remote to some, but few won’t recognize the film’s dreamy undulations of emotion - including the director, himself.

“It so has put me back into the mind of a much younger me when I, unfortunately, filled up many journals worth of meticulous observation and analysis and recounting of residual events that would occur in the company of that person,” Haynes said in a recent interview. “What’s funny is what a solitary predicament you find yourself in.”

That the 54-year-old, Portland, Oregon-based Haynes was, from the start, a careful chronicler of passions should come as little surprise. In his six feature films and the HBO miniseries “Mildred Pierce,” Haynes has grown into a master of melodrama with a knack for lushly textured films that summon earlier eras with precision and power.

“Carol,” which has already been feted at the Cannes Film Festival and been ranked among the expected Oscar contenders, is adapted from a Patricia Highsmith novel originally published as “The Price of Salt” under a pseudonym in 1952. Mara plays a young departmentstore clerk named Therese who’s drawn into a relationship with Blanchett’s Carol, an elegant, experienced woman whose marriage is crumbling.

Their romance unfolds like a crime, hidden from view amid the male-dom-

inated midtown of ‘50s New York. Men often clutter the frame in “Carol” - the closed-minded or oblivious impediments of a time that shunned homosexuality.

“There are all kinds of obstructions and they’re built into so many frames of the film,” says Haynes. “It makes you think about looking and who’s looking at whom and the frustration of not getting to what you want.”

Such details, mixed with elements like Carter Burwell’s sumptuous score and the camera’s keen attention to slight but meaningful gestures (a glance, a hand on a shoulder), show Haynes in full command of his filmmaking.

“He primes the canvas really meticulously. You can feel the textures and the atmospheres building up and accruing during filming,” says Blanchett, who also starred in his 2007 Bob Dylan drama “I’m Not There.” ‘’He would come in and he would just smooth a hair. He’s quite painterly about the way he assembles the whole thing. It feels like it’s got Todd’s hands all over it.”

The Los Angeles-born Haynes, who studied semiotics as an undergrad at Brown University, has regularly been drawn to stories with gleaming surfaces that cloak inner turmoil. His first film, “Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story,” about the singer, was made with modified Barbie dolls. His first feature, “Poison” - a series of tales about homosexuality - was labeled pornography before its release but became a touchstone of what was called New Queer Cinema. In “Safe” he explored the life of a San Fernando Valley homemaker (Julianne Moore) and in “Velvet Goldmine” dove into 1970s glam-rock.

“Carol” marks his second ‘50s-set film after “Far

‘Carol’ is an romantic ‘50s drama.

From Heaven,” the Oscarnominated, Douglas Sirkinspired melodrama about a Connecticut housewife (Moore, again) whose husband is gay.

“It’s been one of the great evolutions in a career to see him grow as a moviemaker with every new movie,” says Kent Jones, director of the New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center, which is running a retrospective of Haynes. “I thought with ‘Mildred Pierce,’ Todd took a huge, huge leap forward - and the same with ‘Carol.’

I think ‘Carol’ is just absolutely the most nuanced, subtle, most beautiful film he’s ever made.”

Chr istine Vachon, Haynes’ longtime producer, says its Haynes’ obsession for detail that distinguishes him.

“Every single thing in the frame is there for a reason, that draws you in, that augments the emotionality,” says Vachon. “Whether it’s the color of the couch or the music or the performance of the actor, the construction of everything you see and hear is so beautiful rendered and thought out.”

At the center of virtually

all of his films have been knockout performances by women, a trademark he’s proud of. But he’s also frustrated by Hollywood’s perpetual “amnesia” that films about women are necessary and successful.

“It’s always sort of like: ‘Oh wow, there’s an audience out there for this! We had no idea!’” says Haynes, who’ll next make Brian Selznick’s “Wonderstruck” with Moore. “And yet the same revelation seems to kick in every time. It doesn’t seem to produce a pattern of commitment to producing similar kinds of work.”

In “Carol,” Haynes wanted to capture Phillis Nagy’s script through a female perspective. He drew on the photographs of Ruth Orkin and Vivienne Meyer, as well as, for period reference, the 1956 film “Lovers and Lollipops.”

His penchant for period films, he says, “is a purely selfish desire to learn about different periods, to almost feel like I get to live through them.”

For those who have swooned through “Carol,” its ‘50s romance could hardly seem more alive.

35 years ago, ‘Dallas’ fans found out who shot J.R. Ewing NEW YORK (AP) — Thirty-five years ago this Saturday, viewers learned the truth.

They got the answer to the question that bedeviled them for months.

They found out who shot J.R. Ewing as 90 million of them massed in front of half the nation’s TVs watching “Dallas” that evening of Nov. 21, 1980.

Not that it really mattered whodunit. What mattered was, the issue was settled. The mystery solved. “Dallas” fans could finally move on.

So could “Dallas,” which, by the time the shooter’s identity was disclosed, had rocketed from its prior status as a mere TV hit to the far reaches of cultural blockbuster-dom.

A saga of the Texas tycoon Ewings, “Dallas” was epic, ostentatious, outrageous and addictive, with its at-each-other’s-throats clan ruled by J.R. Ewing,

a charmingly loathsome oil baron. As embodied by Larry Hagman, J.R. was a bottomless well of corruption who deployed a Lone Star twang, cold hawk eyes and a wicked grin.

By the evening of March 21, 1980, “Dallas” devotees were already smitten with his villainy. But then, on that third-season finale, “Dallas” threw them a curve unlike anything witnessed before: J.R. was gunned down by an unknown assailant and left for dead on his office floor.

Thunderstruck fans were left with the awful possibility (and somehow it seemed like a possibility) that the series’ leading man - its main attraction might have been disposed of. And even more unsettling: They were left in the dark as to who pulled the trigger.

Obvious persons of interest included Sue Ellen Ewing (played by Linda

Gray), J.R.’s long-suffering, cheated-upon wife, and his sniveling arch-enemy Cliff Barnes (Ken Kercheval).

Kristin Shepard, J.R.’s sexy scheming sister-inlaw/mistress, was also an attractive candidate.

But “Dallas” producers, who had cooked up the “Who Shot J.R.?” twist as an effective way to satisfy a last-minute order by CBS for two extra episodes to close out Season 3, hadn’t even settled on whodunit when they decided that the deed be done. Or, if they had, they weren’t talking.

Mary Crosby says she had no idea. When she got the script, Crosby, who played Kristin, thought only, “What a great way to end the season. And J.R. certainly deserves it!”

To ensure the big secret stayed a secret to everyone, including the doer, everybody got a turn on-camera pulling the trigger.

“It was a really fun day,”

Crosby recalls. “The producers got to shoot J.R. The makeup artist got to shoot him. Larry got to shoot himself.”

Th e n , after they wrapped, Hagman, ever the jokester, changed into a novelty-shop vest and toasted the company with a glass of Scotch. As he drank, liquid spouted from numerous “bullet holes” in his chest.

“There was never a dull moment with Larry,” Crosby chuckles.

The mystery, unleashed on viewers in March, ran rampant much longer than intended: An actors strike would shut down all TV production and push the start of the networks’ Fall 1980 season into November, imposing an extra three months for the nation’s favorite guessing game to rage.

“It was extraordinary that people cared after all that time,” says Crosby.

NEW YORK (AP) — For Sir Simon Rattle, Beethoven was, of course, brilliant.

And perhaps crazy.

How much of the composer’s creativity was tied to his loss of hearing?

“If he had not been so cut off from the world by this cruel affliction, could he have gone to the place he went? I wonder,” the British conductor said.

“It’s no wonder even many of his most intelligent contemporaries thought that he was insane. (Carl Maria von) Weber walked out after the first movement of the Seventh Symphony saying that he’s no longer writing anything that could be called music, this is only fit for the lunatic asylum.”

Long known as an advocate of contemporary composers, Rattle focused his fall on Beethoven. He conducted two complete cycles of the nine symphonies at Berlin’s Philharmonie last month, then took the Berlin Philharmonic on tour for additional cycles in November at the Philharmonie de Paris, Vienna’s Musikverein and New York’s Carnegie Hall. One more is planned for Tokyo’s Suntory Hall in May. Rattle thought back to a conversation he had in 1988 with Herbert von Karajan, the Berlin Philharmonic’s leader from 1955-89.

“When I had my last talk with Karajan, sitting in what’s now my dressing room, he said, ‘Oh, Simon, you know you have to write off your first 100 Beethoven Fifths.’ At this point I’d conducted three, and so I gulped,” Rattle recalled this month. “He could be a tough old bugger, obviously. He was very, very welcoming to young musicians. There was a kind of gruff charm about him.”

Now 60, Rattle conducted his first Beethoven cycle with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in 1995 and led the Vienna Philharmonic in performances at Berlin, Tokyo and Vienna in 2001 and 2002 when EMI released a complete set. He became the Berlin Philharmonic’s chief conductor in 2002 and conducted his first Beethoven cycle with that orchestra six years later.

“Sometimes at the beginning it was a struggle for me to bring everything I’ve learned from working for a quarter of a century with period instruments into Berlin,” Rattle said, “but actually I think somewhere we’ve met, and that’s very satisfying.

There’s a kind of energy and passion and fierceness of the way they play, which is irreplaceable, and for music like this, which seems to ask more energy and intensity than anyone can give, they’re a wonderful fit.”

Beethoven’s symphonies premiered from 1800 through 1824 - three years before his death at age

56. Camillo Hildebrand conducted Berlin’s first Beethoven cycle in April 1914, and Karajan conducted the nine symphonies with Berlin at Carnegie Hall in 1965.

At Tuesday night’s Carnegie performance of the First and Third Symphonies, the opening of a twoseason “Perspectives” series, Rattle used a pareddown string section with eight first violins rather than 12. He had three double basses for the First and five for the “Eroica,” drawing exquisite playing from strings, woodwinds and brass. Strings bubbled for the Third’s scherzo, and horns could have not played more delicately.

Hunching his shoulders and sweeping his arms, his white mop of hair bobbing, Rattle elicited a performance of uncommon detail.

His first experience with the composer was on vinyl recordings, “some of the 78s that my dad collected when he was courting my mother, who ran a record store.”

“My first ‘Pastorale’ was (Leopold) Stokowski and the Philadelphia on God knows how many sides,” Rattle said. “I think it was a little bit of shock when I heard it in the concert, that it didn’t keep on stopping, that it actually carried on.”

He favored the idiosyncratic performances of Wilhelm Furtwaengler over the more brisk tempi of Arturo Toscanini. When he conducts the later symphonies, Rattle adds strings for a fuller sound, especially in the first two movements of the Ninth.

“As you go on, particularly the Ninth Symphony, it’s inventing a new world,” Rattle said. “And it’s so clear that you are then somewhere else that it goes way beyond Wagner.”

In recent years, the complete Beethoven symphonies have been performed at Carnegie by Claudio Abbado and the Vienna Philharmonic (1987), Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe (1996), Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin (2000), and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (2013).

Audio and video recordings of Rattle’s Berlin performances last month are to be released by the Philharmonic in March.

These cycles are Rattle’s method of focusing attention on Beethoven, the revolutionary.

“We should remember how astonishing and astounding and dangerous the music is now,” Rattle said. “We know it so well, but we should never get used to it. Nobody has Francis Bacon on their walls in their house - or very few people - but sometimes people listen to Beethoven as though it was background and a comfort, and I think that is very dangerous.”

HIT SQUAD

ASKAR SALIKHOV/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia’s kick coverage team swarms Oklahoma State return man Jeff Carr earlier this season.

West Virginia’s hard-hitting coverage units are the team’s unsung heroes

BY DAVID STATMAN

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

You might not know all their names, you’ve seen their highlights: breathtaking, bone-jarring hits and forced turnovers, players who might not be on the marquee making some of the biggest plays of the game.

Even while the West Virginia offense tries to adapt to a major culture change, and the Mountaineer defense struggles against some of the most dynamic offenses in football, one unit has always stood out: WVU’s special teams coverage units, which rank among the best in the Big 12.

Although they sit low on the defensive depth chart, players like Sean Walters, Nana Kyeremeh and Khairi Sharif have formed a must-

see West Virginia coverage squad that has continually tilted field position, shifted the momentum of games and energized the defense.

“We love it,” said senior defensive tackle Kyle Rose.

“Those guys love to get after it, and we love watching it. We watch the film as a team, and we’ll root and rave for those guys after they make a great play.

They feed off each other a little more whenever someone makes a big hit, they want to be the next guy up.

They’re a bunch of competitors and we love to see them flying down there and making plays.”

Special teams have long been a struggle for Dana Holgorsen’s Mountaineer squads, but this year, it’s largely been a strength. West Virginia’s net kickoff yards rank second in the Big 12, while punter Nick O’Toole is second in the conference

in net punt yards.

O’Toole has a powerful leg, but that kind of production wouldn’t be possible without strong work from his coverage units, which have taken the pressure off the senior to be perfect.

“It makes everything easier for me and makes it more exciting to watch, just how excited they are to go down there and hit the hell out of somebody,” O’Toole said. “It’s awesome for me, being on kickoff and punt, just to know that those guys are going down to cover a kick, so if it isn’t where it needs to be or something goes wrong, I have trust in them that they can get the job done.”

The capabilities of West Virginia’s coverage units were showcased Saturday against Texas when they put on a performance defensive coordinator Tony Gibson called “the most impressive

(he had) seen in 21 years of coaching.”

Reserve cornerback Nana Kyeremeh smashed in the big play of the day with a forced fumble on a kickoff return in the third quarter – the ball was recovered by West Virginia’s Justin Arndt, setting up a WVU field goal.

Sean Walters, Khairi Sharif and even starting wide receiver Shelton Gibson, an outlier on a unit predominantly staffed by defensive backups, also got their licks in as West Virginia held the Longhorns to an average of just 14 yards per kick return and zero punt return yards.

One of West Virginia’s most commonly repeated proverbs is that the kickoff is the first play of defense, all the more motivation for the Mountaineer gunners to head downfield at full speed.

“The first play of defense

is the kickoff, so we always try to talk before the play about who’s going to get the tackle,” Kyeremeh said.

“Special teams is about effort. If you run hard, you might make a mistake, but if you’re running full-speed and the next guy is running full-speed, only so many bad things can happen.”

One of West Virginia’s top reserves at cornerback, Kyeremeh has held down more of a regular defensive role than most of his teammates on the coverage units — the type of players personified by the likes of Sean Walters, a little-used linebacker who has embraced his role as a special-teamer to the fullest, and along the way has become the Mountaineer coverage squad’s top hit-man.

Outside of the seasonending injury to star safety Karl Joseph, West Virginia’s defense has largely stayed

healthy this season, allowing players like Walters to focus exclusively on special teams and not have to fill in on defense.

“Special teams can be the deciding factor in the game,” Walters said. “We approach it just like it’s a normal routine with defense. I feel like having that sense of urgency going out there every time, making the best play that you possibly can, it’s big for the team.”

While special teams can be a chance for some players to audition for roles on defense, West Virginia’s coverage units have taken the opportunity to throw themselves into their role, and they know their importance to the game.

And returners know that when Walters, Kyeremeh or Sharif are coming, it’s time to get out of the way. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Devin Williams may be developing into NBA talent

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Through the first two games of the season, Devin Williams is the big man on campus.

Williams has already recorded a pair of double-doubles thus far for the West Virginia Univer-

sity men’s basketball team, making that 19 during his time in Morgantown. The junior sensation finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds in an 86-73 victory over James Madison on Monday.

“Devin was Devin,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “He went and got it for us.”

NICK GOLDEN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Junior Devin Williams goes up for a dunk against Northern Kentucky last week.

In Friday’s seasonopening rout of Northern Kentucky, Williams also had 18 points and a team-high 15 rebounds in 30 minutes of action. He’s converted 65 percent of his field goals, continuing to develop as one of the Big 12’s top offensive forces.

It’s been the junior’s work ethic that’s sent him to a new stature. He was only named a Preseason Big 12 Honorable Mention candidate, but has played similar to a first-teamer already.

The toughness Williams exudes in the paint mirrors many NBA veterans, finding ways to get to the free throw line and bulldoze past defenders. Williams leads the Mountaineers with 19 attempted free throws, converting 15 of those.

“That’s all on me just preparing and staying in the gym. Just working on my craft and understanding my individual goals is going to help the team and that’s always been my motto since freshman year,” Williams said.

“Whatever I put in and whatever I do is always to help the team.

Coming off last year’s Sweet Sixteen run, Williams is the new leader of a team poised for greater heights. He’s a leader by example, becoming the go-to player following the graduations of Gary Browne and Juwan Staten.

As a sophomore, Williams averaged a teambest 8.1 rebounds per

game. His 11.6 scoring average was also second best on the team only behind Staten, who’s now playing in the NBA Development League with the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Playing in the NBA could now be in the big man’s future, as he is ranked as the 37th overall junior prospect by draftexpress.com.

ESPN currently projects him as a second round selection, but that stock is likely to soar if the recent

trend continues.

Competing in the Big 12 against the likes of Perry Ellis (Kansas), Rico Gathers (Baylor) and Georges Niang (Iowa State) has made Williams go unnoticed to many across the college basketball landscape.

The first two games have been an indication of his flying-under-the-radar status, but he’s always desired more.

Guiding the Mountain-

eers to the top remains the biggest goal in Williams’ mind, as he and his squad hope to show they’re better than the sixth-place finish placed upon them in the Big 12 projections.

“I’m a junior now and I’m just more aware,” Williams said. “I have good sense out there now. I’m just going out there and playing with a chip on my shoulder.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

what to expect of each recruit’s future athletically and academically at WVU. This year’s fall signees include Brandon Christian, Jack Frazier, Ryan Kelly, Matthew Marsh, Sam Neaveill, Jack Portmann, Trayton Saladin, Gabe Swardson and Robert Wylie.

“The most impressive aspect of this group is each member will have an immediate impact on our program the very first time they step on campus next year,” Riggs said. “The diversity of the class addresses many of our depth issues and holes with several seniors graduating.”

The Mountaineers will have to fill the void left

SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Nine student athletes will join the WVU men’s swimming and diving team in 2016, after WVU coach Vic Riggs announced the fall signees this weekend.

“This class is one of the strongest classes we’ve brought in, and to have it come together in the fall is a great accomplishment for our team and staff,” Riggs said in an interview with WVUSports.com.

The commitment of each signee in the recruiting process impressed Riggs the most, giving the swimming and diving coaching staff a preview of

by top swimmer Andrew Marsh, who departs WVU at the conclusion of this season. Marsh qualified for the NCAA Men’s Division I Championships as a junior, and continues making strides toward a second appearance in his senior season.

Continuing on the family legacy once Marsh leaves will be his younger brother, Matthew Marsh, of Jamestown, New York.

“Matt’s addition to our power group is much needed with our top sprinters and breast-strokers graduating,” Riggs said. “With his talent, I see Matt continuing our legacy in those events.”

Marsh attributed the

coaching staff and the Mountaineers’ team environment as the determining factors in his decision.

The first commitment of this year’s class was Gabe Swardson from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Swardson adds depth to a class featuring strong fliers and IM specialists. Along with Swardson, Jack Portmann and Jack Frazier will challenge each other in training next season.

Portmann, a native of Newark, Delaware, possesses talent in breaststroke, butterfly and IM events that Riggs believes will be a much needed addition to next year’s team.

Portmann swam under former WVU swimmer Pablo

Marmolejo at Salesian High School, who highly recommended WVU as the right collegiate swim program for Portmann.

Jack Frazier, from Greer, South Carolina, brings an asset to next year’s team in butterfly and freestyle events. Just like many of the incoming student-athletes in this year’s class, Frazier impressed the coaching staff with his dedication to his family, sport and education.

Of the nine incoming recruits, none hail from the state of West Virginia.

Brandon Christian of Largo, Florida has family ties to the WVU program, but the distance and IM specialist’s parents are the

closest connection Christian has with the state.

Rounding out the class, Robert Wylie (Watkinsville, Georgia), Trayton Saladin (Buchanan, Michigan), Sam Neaveill (Germantown Hills, Illinois), and Ryan Kelly (Whitby, Ontario) possess talent in mid- and short-distance events, which provides room for even more competition during next season’s training.

The incoming student athletes will enroll in fall of 2016 and begin their journey as official members of the WVU swimming and diving program next October. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

CROSS COUNTRY

Inconsistent season leaves West Virginia disappointed

BY JOEL NORMAN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The 2015 West Virginia University women’s cross country team’s season can be best described as “inconsistent.” The Mountaineers have had their share of ups and downs.

West Virginia opened the season in September ranked No. 10 in the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Poll. By November, they had dropped out of the 30-team poll.

On Oct. 3, the Mountaineers won the blue race at the Greater Louisville Classic. They thought they’d be returning to Louisville, Kentucky, a little over a month later for the NCAA Cross Country Championship.

Instead, the Mountain-

eers will only send sophomore Millie Paladino to Louisville. Paladino, who ran at last year’s Cross Country Championship and finished in 22:01.3, ran in three races this season.

She took 124th with a time of 21:13.5 at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational and finished 21st in 21:34.3 at the Big 12 Championship.

However, Paladino’s best race was her 11thplace finish at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional in a time of 21:16.2. Paladino, along with senior Savanna Plombon, earned NCAA All-Mid-Atlantic Region honors. The day after the race, the NCAA announced that Paladino would run at the Cross Country Championship.

“I’m really excited that I’m going be back a second time, hopefully,” Paladino said prior to the Mid-At-

“The entire fall has been a bit of a mystery. Our opportunities have been there for us,” said head coach Sean Cleary after the Mid-Atlantic Regional to WVUsports.com. “We have been running like a 20-40 team in the country all season. I watched our team compete hard today, and we had a few unfortunate situations within the race that we can and need to put behind us.”

Things did not go the way that Cleary or the team wanted. All they can do is accept that and begin preparing for next season - all except for Paladino. She will race at EP Tom Sawyer Park in Louisville, Kentucky on Nov. 21. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

King looking for more after end of fall season

WVU COLISEUM WVU STUDENTS ADMITTED FREE WITH A STUDENT TICKET AND VALID I.D.

The West Virginia University rowing team has wrapped up a short 2015 fall season that showed a lot of promise, but left a lot of questions unanswered for head coach Jimmy King.

“We aren’t finishing up the fall where I would like our team to be in a few areas.

Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings have been the only two water workouts of the week when we have everyone together due to class schedules,” King said. “In past years, that hasn’t been a notable hindrance, but with the overall youth of this year’s group it’s had more of an effect. Some of those things we’ll be able to address through winter training, others will be addressed when we return to the water.”

The varsity squad started the season off on a strong note by making a statement in the Head of Ohio, early in October.

The team placed first and third in the Women’s Open

4+ and second in the Women’s Open 8+ in one of the largest one-day regattas in the country.

The varsity and novice team took to the water later in October to post an impressive outing of four top-five finishes and four medals, including a gold, at the Head of the Occoquan in Fairfax Station, Virginia.

The novice team made their first appearance of the season during the Head of the Occoquan and made a good impression on novice coach Amanda Merritt.

“I thought we had a really good day on the water, especially with the three novice boats that medaled,” Merritt said in an interview with WVUsports.com.

It was the novice team who concluded the season early in November by sweeping three Pittsburgh-based teams.

WVU claimed all four races against Duquesne, Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon for the season finale.

Even with a strong fall season, Coach King knows that there is still a lot of room for

improvement.

“There is nothing in particular that stands out as the biggest surprise or most pleasing about the fall season,” King said. “Those views should not be interpreted in a negative manner, but rather reflect that we have a lot of work ahead of us.”

There will be a lot of time to improve, as the Mountaineers take no breaks during the winter.

“We don’t have an off-season during the school year,” King said. “Our training load actually increases, physically and mentally, during the winter months as we shift completely to land workouts.

One of the more important aspects during those months is to integrate the novice and varsity squads into one team.”

During the offseason, the Mountaineers will have their eyes set toward their return to action in early March, and WVU will certainly hope to compete and succeed with more of an experienced team. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
