UPD works to expand jurisdiction by robert lee staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Morgantown and University Police are one step closer to reaching an agreement to extend the latter authority’s jurisdiction off-campus and into areas highly populated by West Virginia University students.

The mutual aid agreement has already been used during athletic events but this is the first time the city has considered using it in residential areas.

“It’s done when it’s

done,” said Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston.

“Whenever it’s ready to be signed is when we’ll move forward with it, but it’s a legal agreement, and legal agreements take time.”

The mutual-aid agreement is a written contract that will extend MPD’s legal jurisdiction to UPD, according to Preston. This will allow UPD to enforce violations of city code.

UPD Chief Bob Roberts said he last saw a draft of the agreement about a week or two ago. Roberts didn’t go into much detail about the agreement since

many of the details still need to be ironed out.

“There have been discussions of us being sworn in by city officials, but I haven’t seen it in any drafts,” Roberts said. “The advantage of doing it that way is, as we’re sworn in now, we can’t enforce the city ordinance. We enforce state code, but for every city ordinance there’s an equivalent state code, like noise.”

MPD’s jurisdiction encompasses everything within city limits, including the WVU campus. Under WVU’s Board of Gov-

WVU partners with New York Times, gives students free access to content by cameron gleason staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Students are now able to take advantage of free access to NYTimes.com and all stories, editorials and extras that come with it through a partnership between West Virginia University and The New York Times.

Laura Reino of The New York Times will present an informational workshop at 11:30 a.m. Friday in room 104 of the Downtown Library to teach students the ins and outs of the New York Times website, the smartphone app and how the paper can benefit them as students.

“

“The access is important because of the important journalism— and the good writing—that the Times is known for.”

”

Tom Stewart

Reed College of Media Professor

“The access is important because of the important journalism—and the good writing—that the Times is known for,” said Tom Stewart, a professor in the Reed College of Media and a former newspaper editor.

“The fact that it’s free is important because most college students really have to watch their spending.”

Normally full digital ac-

cess to the paper runs at $8.75 per week after the trial period (99 cents per week, for one month) is up, which equates to $35 per month—a price that most college students would not be willing or able to pay, due to being on the notoriously slim “college budget.”

The partnership between WVU and The New York Times is placing unlimited access to a worldrenowned newspaper at students’ fingertips absolutely free of charge—a luxury that most individuals are not lucky enough to have.

The New York Times is a diverse paper providing a wide spectrum of stories with an array of content spanning from hard breaking news to subjects with a lesser sense of urgency, such as food and style.

“The beauty of the Times is that there is something for everyone: politics, opinion, entertainment, sports, the arts, businessit’s all there, and subscribers can choose the types of stories, headlines and updates they’re most interested in receiving,” said Diana Martinelli, the acting dean of the Reed College of Media.

The New York Times has some of the most experienced journalists in the world posting stories daily about not only national events, but international ones as well.

The busy lifestyle of college students sometimes deters them from staying up to date with current events outside of their Twitter and Facebook news

ernor’s policies, UPD’s jurisdiction only stretches out to the campus and adjacent property.

Roberts said the agreement would benefit the city because UPD has ways of dealing with incidents involving students MPD doesn’t—student affairs, campus judicial systems and student conduct hearings.

“Mutual aid is extremely effective. It’s not just effective for athletic events, it’s a law enforcement technique that’s utilized in order to enhance the services beyond what any individ-

ual agency can do,” Preston said. “It’s used nationwide to combine resources to have a more comprehensive response or to be much more flexible with responding to certain situations.”

If the agreement is reached, UPD’s jurisdiction would extend from Waverly Street to Prospect Street and other areas highly populated by students.

“Theoretically, we already have jurisdiction now running through fraternity row, so I don’t see it necessarily as a big

change,” Roberts said.

Roberts said it’s important for Greek organizations to step up, take responsibility and be accountable for their behavior. And so far, they’ve done well.

“We have already spoken with some Greek organizations, and they seem to be responsive about this idea,” Roberts said. “This past football game, we worked with Greek organizations and their new tailgating area and it appears to be going well.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Lois Raimondo speaks to guests following the opening event of the “Fractured Spaces” photo exhibit inside the Downtown Library.

Media College faculty member displays storytelling photography at downtown library by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks shook the United States. In Iran and Afghanistan, families and everyday routines were fractured into unrecognizable pieces.

Lois Raimondo, now the Reed College of Media’s Shott Chair of Journalism, traveled to the middle east two years after the attacks. She’s an award-winning international journalist who combined her passion for people and photography in her most recent exhibit at West Virginia University’s Downtown Campus Library.

“I always try to present perspectives that aren’t necessarily already in the media,” Raimondo, the photographer, said. “Each story, every picture has a point of view, and each one of those are very important.”

The exhibit, “Fractured Spaces: Stories of Resistance & Resilience,” officially opened Thursday. Her photographs also explore Tibetans living as political exiles in India.

The exhibit is broken up into three parts, each showcasing former communities that have faced turmoil that left their people living with no choice but to become survivors.

“I’ve been working on this exhibit from the beginning, and I’m still learning things from the pictures,” said Carroll Wilkinson, director of WVU’s Library Strategic Initiatives.

One part of the exhibit, “In the wake of 9/11,” contains photographs taken in Iraq and Afghanistan after the World Trade Center attack. The emotional photos show Iraqis living among chaos from daily bombings, IED attacks and the complete disassembling of their own country.

Other photographs show Afghan Northern Alliance soldiers struggling across the rough terrain of the Hindu Kush Mountains and engaging Taliban forces during the Ramadan Offensive.

“Safe house Pakistan” displays a small group of Pakistani women locked up together in a government safe house for endangered women and children.

“Tibet in Exile” brings attention to the nearly 100,000 Tibetans living as political refugees in Dharamsala, India.

While the three exhibits strikingly convey the mayhem the world faces every day, Raimondo believes they’re

She spent three months crossing the mountains with the Northern Alliance Army during the Ramadan Offensive, but her determination to document the lives of foreign communities in need didn’t stop there.

In 2005, Raimondo spent a year working on stories about Honor Crimes in Pakistan, and she spent two years living in Dharamsala, India among Tibetans, working on stories about Tibetan cultural survival.

“I chose different stories that were really important to me,” Raimondo said. “I thought they were relevant today, to bridge the gaps (in the media).”

Raimondo risked her own safety to tell the stories of people who are not fortunate enough to tell their own personal stories themselves.

Her risk allowed her to not only make the public aware of certain civilizations’ fractured spaces, but civilians’ fractured lives as well.

Many of Raimondo’s photographs show individuals in distraught states, surrounded by the unsettling effects of combat.

Viewing the photographs is a riveting experience that’s sure to pull on even the coldest of heart strings.

“There’s a picture of a man who is obviously very ill and injured,” Wilkinson said. “It’s heart-wrenching to look at, and it really shows the effects of war.”

Muslim group doesn’t fault school, police for detention

ap

Ahmed Mohamed, 14, gestures as he arrives to his family’s home in Irving, Texas, Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015. Ahmed was arrested Monday at his school after a teacher thought a homemade clock he built was a bomb. He remains suspended and said he will not return to classes at MacArthur High School.

IRVING, Texas (AP)— One of the largest Muslim groups in Texas said Thursday that it does not fault police and school officials who handcuffed and suspended a 14-year-old Muslim boy after he brought a homemade clock to class that they mistook for a possible bomb.

Instead, Khalid Hamideh of the Islamic Association of North Texas blamed political leaders for espousing inflammatory anti-Muslim rhetoric and creating a “climate of fear.”

“We’re not pointing a finger at the school district or the police department,” Hamideh said. “Under the current climate that exists in this country, you can’t really blame them because when they see something like that, they have to react.”

The association operates the mosque attended by the family of Ahmed Mohamed, the suburban Dallas student who became a sensation on social media after word spread about his clock and the way he was treated.

Ahmed was pulled from class Monday after he showed the device to a teacher. He was questioned by the principal and police, then handcuffed and taken to the police station.

The Muslim community is concerned that Ahmed was interrogated without a lawyer or his parents present and was led out in handcuffs, Hamideh said.

Irving Police Chief Larry Boyd has said department policy requires that handcuffs be used to protect officers and others.

Authorities declined to seek charges against the boy, saying there was no evidence he intended to cause alarm. They said he’s free to retrieve his clock at the police station.

A police photo of the device shows a carrying case containing a circuit board and power supply wired to a digital display.

School district spokeswoman Lesley Weaver did not return a call for comment Thursday but previously said school administrators followed district

policy, which allows staff to take action if a student has a “look-alike” weapon or engages in behaviors that “substantially disrupt or materially interfere with school activities.”

Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed, said Thursday that his son would not be returning to MacArthur High School. He said the family is still deciding where he will go next.

The boy’s sister, Ayisha Mohamed, 17, said she believes her brother’s experience is helping to change people’s minds about Muslims.

She said her “heart just dropped” when she heard police had detained him. “It was a bad thing that turned into a blessing,” she said.

As Ahmed’s story spread across social media, Twitter soon erupted with support for the teen. The hashtag (hash)IStandWithAhmed was tweeted more than 1 million times.

President Barack Obama invited him to the White House, and Facebook

founder Mark Zuckerberg posted that he wanted to meet him. A NASA scientist asked Ahmed to give him a call in a couple of years for a job opportunity.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also weighed in, cautioning that he did not know all the facts but that police were wrong to detain the boy.

“The last thing we want to do is put handcuffs on a kid unjustifiably,” Abbott told The Dallas Morning News.

“It looks like the commitment to law enforcement may have gone too far.”

On Thursday, Irving high school students said Ahmed has a reputation as a tinkerer and creator. He made small robotics, fixed phones and assembled a remote that could turn on projectors at school, they said.

“I remember seeing him in middle school, and he used to always bring stuff,” said Sara Williams, 15. “He was just one of those kids that created stuff.”

Nicholas Martin, also 15, said authorities “were just taking precautions” when

they confiscated the clock, but he believes they overreacted because of Ahmed’s ethnicity.

Ahmed’s father emigrated from Sudan and twice ran for the presidency of that country.

Fourteen-year-old Pedro Andrade said school officials were right to be cautious but added, “If they really did think that it was a bomb, why didn’t they evacuate?”

The controversy follows other incidents this year involving anti-Muslim sentiment, including a backlash against a proposed Muslim cemetery northeast of Dallas and a Republican lawmaker who told her staff to ask visiting Muslims to declare allegiance to America.

Also, the Irving City Council endorsed one of several bills in the state Legislature to forbid judges from making rulings based on “foreign laws,” language that some people say is aimed at Islam out of fear that American courts could somehow be influenced by

GM will pay $900 million over ignition switch scandal NEW YORK (AP)—General Motors agreed to pay $900 million to fend off criminal prosecution over the deadly ignition-switch scandal, striking a deal that brought criticism down on the Justice Department for not bringing charges against individual employees.

The switches, which can slip out of the “run” position and cut off the engine, have been linked to at least 169 deaths.

Despite evidence that GM’s legal and engineering staffs concealed the problem for nearly a decade, no employees were charged Thursday, though U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said the investigation is still going on.

Also Thursday, GM announced it will spend $575 million to settle the majority of the civil lawsuits filed over the scandal.

Under the deal with prosecutors, an independent monitor will be appointed to oversee GM’s handling of safety problems. Two charges drawn up against GM - wire fraud and scheming to conceal information from government regulators - will be dropped after three years if the automaker cooperates fully.

GM agreed to a statement of facts that describes in scathing terms its deceptive and dismissive approach to the defect.

“They let the public down,” Bharara said. “They didn’t tell the truth in the best way that they should have - to the regulators, to the public - about this serious safety issue that risked life and limb.”

The twin agreements bring to more than $5.3 billion the amount GM has

spent on a problem authorities say could have been handled for less than a dollar per car. Those expenses include fines, compensation for victims and the recall of millions of vehicles.

With the settlements, GM takes a big step toward moving past the scandal.

On Thursday, GM chief executive Mary Barra appeared before several hundred employees in suburban Detroit and again apologized to the crash victims. When asked whether employees should have been charged, she deferred to Bharara’s office.

But she added: “We understand that lives were impacted. That is something that we understand and we take forward and will have with us every day.”

The settlement brought bitter criticism from safety advocates and family members.

Consumer advocate Clarence Ditlow, head of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, said GM officials will “walk off scot-free while its customers are 6 feet under.”

“If a person kills someone because he decided to drive drunk, he will go to jail,” said Laura Christian, the mother of a woman who died in her 2005 Cobalt. Yet GM employees whose decisions led to scores of deaths “are able to hide behind a corporation because our laws are insufficient. It must change.”

Bharara said he understands victims’ families might be disappointed that no individuals were arrested. But he said there is no law with specific criminal penalties for failing to disclose auto safety

problems.

Without such a statute, prosecutors had to rely on broader laws covering false statements and wire fraud, he said.

“We apply the laws as we find them, not the way we wish they might be,” he said. He added that GM was given credit for cooperating with the investigation, including sharing the results of its in-house probe.

The Justice Department has been long been criticized for often going after companies instead of individuals in cases of wrongdoing in the business world.

Eric Havian, a former federal prosecutor in San Francisco who now represents whistleblowers, said it can be extraordinarily difficult to prosecute employees.

The schemes are often so complex that a jury can easily get lost, and establishing that a particular person knew his actions were against the law is a challenge, he said.

In this case, court papers showed that GM engineers knew of the problem in 2004 and 2005 when other employees, the media and customers complained. But the engineers left it alone, rejecting a cheap and simple fix, court papers said.

Even after the dangers became plain in 2012, GM did not correct its earlier assurance that the switch posed no safety concern.

Instead, Bharara wrote, it concealed the defect from regulators and the public “so that the company could buy time to package, present, explain and manage the issue.”

The wire fraud count pertained to the company’s assurances to customers over

“All of these people who push this hate agenda need to engage the Muslim community and to understand the Muslim identity in this country,” Hamideh said.

Back in May, Texas law enforcement was on heightened alert when two men opened fire in the Dallas suburb of Garland outside a center hosting a cartoon contest with depictions of the prophet Muhammad.

Both attackers were shot dead, and an officer was shot in the leg. From the other side of the world, the Islamic State group made an unproven claim of responsibility.

Cathie Adams, president of the conservative Texas Eagle Forum and former chairwoman of the Texas Republican Party, said Thursday that Ahmed’s clock looked suspicious and that authorities were right to act.

She said the boy was “pushing the envelope” and provoking a response. “Was he testing the system? And why?”

A$AP Rocky comes to the Coliseum Chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Only time will tell if Morgantown is ready for the mob. A$AP Mob member, A$AP Rocky will take the stage at the West Virginity University Coliseum tonight for his first West Virginia appearance.

Born in Harlem, New York, A$AP Rocky’s attraction to hip-hop was inevitable. Known as the hub of hip-hop happenings, Harlem is a neighborhood filled with a rich history of colorful culture and impactful artists who have shaped the genre. Named after hip-hop legend Rakim of the Eric B. & Rakim duo, Rakim Mayers was born in 1988. Following in the footsteps of his older brother, Mayers began experimenting with rhymes at age 8. His rough upbringing in Harlem led Mayers to dabble in the world of crime. Within two years, Mayers watched his father get shipped to prison and dealt with the murder of his influential older brother.

After witnessing backto-back tragedies, Mayers began taking his rapping more seriously. Bouncing through various homeless shelters in the city, Mayers, alongside his mother and sister, lacked a structured upbringing. Selling drugs at age 15, Mayers’ rough lifestyle greatly impacted his career.

In 2007, Mayers joined

mtv.com

A$AP Rocky’s WVU show will be the rapper’s first in West Virginia.

Harlem-based group A$AP Mob, a group of producers, directors, designers, rappers and bikers. Pulling from the influences of rap artists such as UGK, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Devin the Dube, Mayers music features a combination of laidback beats and clever, slick lines. Mayers’ career in the rap game ignited when his debut single, “Pesos,” leaked online in 2011. While “Pesos”

sparked the interest of local New York radio stations, it wasn’t until he released his music video for “Purple Swag” that Mayers caught the eye, or ears, of major record labels.

Yielding an immense level of creativity A$AP Rocky is truly a unique and unlimited artist. The creator has dabbled in the world of fashion, music video production and acting. In an interview with Complex

Magazine, A$AP Rocky said he considers himself an artist before a rapper.

He’s strutted down the catwalk in a Ferragamo campaign and has starred in indie movie “Dope,” that appeared at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.

A$AP Rocky’s sleek but street style consistently bleeds through his ballads.

With a southern, laid back sound, A$AP Rocky’s raps share tales of women trou-

bles, drugs and his “purple drank.”

“This is more free than I’ve ever been,” said the artist in an interview with Complex Magazine. “I’ve never been this free making music, ever. I’m experimenting, listening and looking for different sounds.”

With two full-length studio albums, A$AP Rocky’s imaginative rhymes and his careful attention to detail have him producing

what he has coined as fine art. A$AP Rocky is known to take time composing his tracks, and not wanting to rush the art. His popular tracks include songs like, “F---in’ Problems” and “Wild for the Night.”

His most recent album, “At. Long. Last. A$AP.,” dropped in May of 2015 and features hit tracks, “L$D” and “M$.”

Kristie Stewart-Gale, of WVU Arts and Entertainment, said A$AP Rocky’s appearance Friday night has been highly anticipated among WVU students, with nearly 85 percent of ticket sales coming from students.

Stewart-Gale said WVU Arts and Entertainment strives to keep in mind student budgets while booking some of the artists they request. This June, WVU Arts and Entertainment released a survey, asking students to state who they would like to see play at venues in Morgantown. A$AP Rocky was one of many artists who was a fairly popular request made by the student body.

“We’re always looking for information and suggestions from the students,” Stewart-Gale said. “You guys are why we’re here.”

A$AP Rocky will appear with special guests Danny Brown and Vince Staples at 8:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at the WVU Coliseum. For information on show time and tickets, visit http://events. wvu.edu/concerts. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

student poll

WVU students, what is your opinion of Greek Life?

Rush week is approaching: the time of year when some college students meet and join the fraternity or sorority they will be a part of for the rest of their college career.

Yesterday, 100 students in the Mountainlair were polled on what they thought about Greek Life.

Despite the negative publicity Greek Life often gets, only nine percent of the students polled said they dislike fraternities and sororities.

The most popular response, with 34 percent of the answers, was a neutral attitude. Students in this category often said that although they could see the benefits of Greek Life, it just wasn’t something for them.

However, they harbored no ill will toward it.

The second most-popu-

lar category was students who liked Greek Life, with 30 percent of the responses.

Many of these students said they were in Greek Life, which is why they liked it.

Not every student in this category was a member of a fraternity or sorority however. Some were nongreek affiliated students who just appreciated what the greek system brings to campus. One student said it would be hard to imagine the college experience without Greek Life, despite he himself not being part of it.

Twenty-seven percent of students polled said they had no opinion on Greek Life. These students often said the greek system didn’t affect their day-to-day life in any way, so they rarely put any thought toward it.

Wine and Jazz Festival this weekend Ally Litten

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Few warm weekends are left in Morgantown, so it is important to spend time outside while you can. With the West Virginia University football team on a break this week, the West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival is the perfect way to fill your weekend.

Local West Virginia wines, music and artisan vendors will fill Camp Muffly, a 4-H camp located in Morgantown.

The West Virginia University Jazz Ensemble will begin the event Saturday morning.

They will be followed by Alex Heflin, Gravity Jazz & Gospel, The Mardi Gras Band and DeWayne Dolphin.

West Virginia Wesleyan College Friends of Jazz Ensemble will assemble Sunday afternoon. The ensemble will be followed by James Miltenberger Jazz Quintet, Lou Natale and Fo/Mo/ Deep.

The featured wines will be from Daniel Vineyards, Fisher’s Ridge, Forks of Cheat Winery, Heston Farm Winery, Kenco Farms, Lambert’s Vintage Wines, Potomac Highland Winery and WestWhitehall Winery.

“We’ve been there every year since it started, probably 20-some years now,” said Charles Whitehall of Potomac Highland Winery.

“It is a good festival with a good crowd. We always sell

a lot of wine. We’ll be there both days.”

Not only will there be wine, but many local food vendors will attend the event. Chico’s Fat, Cupcakerie, Garcia’s Latin Market, Greeks, Jersey Subs, Lamberts Catering, Ramada Inn, Russ’ Ribs and Slight Indulgence will all offer a little something for everyone.

“We’re going to be doing chips and salsa, guac and queso,” said James Clarke, manager of Chico’s Fat. “We own High St. Pasta Company, and we’ll be taking some of that stuff down there too. We’ve done this for four or five years now.

The spreads change a little every time, but we always have a quesadilla, a mac and cheese dish and our fish tacos.”

The West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival has much more to offer then just food, wine and music. Local artisans, such as Eddie Spaghetti, Muddy Mindi, My Rockables, Wine Me?, Little Earth Company and Fossil Jewels and More, will be scattered around the grounds.

Starting in 1995, the West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival is a non-profit that does their best to give back to the local community. Every year, they return the proceeds to the region. Throughout the years, $374,374 has been donated to various organizations. The Festival has given out scholarships to the West Virginia University School of Music, sponsored classes at WVU, put on free concerts for the community

and sponsored various other organizations.

There will be no need to worry about designated drivers. West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival is eliminating the risk of drinking and driving by offering free bus rides for anyone interested in spending the weekend wining and dining. The busses will come and go from the Mountainlair to Camp Muffly all weekend.

For more information on the West Virginia Wine and Jazz Festival or to buy tickets, visit https://wvwineandjazz.com.

The Jazz and Wine Festival starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday. The daily admission price is $20 for anyone 21 or older. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Kate Snow appointment NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC on Thursday appointed Kate Snow to anchor an afternoon news broadcast, nearly completing a daytime refocus of the struggling network back to news that will be fully on display next week when Brian Williams returns to the air for coverage of Pope Francis’ visit to the United States.

Since Andy Lack returned this spring to take over the NBC News operation, he’s spent much of his time plotting a reconfiguration of MSNBC into something similar to what was envisioned at its start two decades ago - a fully integrated arm of NBC News.

“This is a page turn for MSNBC and all of NBC News,” Lack said on Thursday.

Gone are opinion-based programs with personalities like Ronan Farrow, Ed Schultz, Al Sharpton and Alex Wagner, which Lack said were rejected

by viewers. Instead, the daytime lineup will have news programs anchored

by Snow, Andrea Mitchell, Thomas Roberts, Tamron Hall and Jose DiazBalart, with Williams moving in probably a couple of times a week as news warrants.

Snow, a veteran of both ABC News and CNN, will anchor each weekday from 3 to 5 p.m., followed by a one-hour political show hosted by “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd.

Lack hasn’t changed the left-leaning evening lineup of Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell, saying his focus has been on the daytime.

The immediate wild card is how viewers react to Williams, the former NBC “Nightly News” anchor who was suspended in February and found to have misled the public about his role in news stories.

editorial

Imagine being a food-insecure student in elementary school. Lunch doesn’t seem to come fast enough, and there’s never enough food on your tray to satisfy the hunger pangs you’ll likely experience later that evening. Your mom or dad may skip a meal just so you and your siblings can have enough dinner on the weekends.

College students often joke about not having enough money to afford anything to eat except ramen, but for families across the state, food insecurity is an enormous issue. According to statistics provided by the Food Recovery Network, in Monongalia County alone, more than 15,000 people were food insecure in 2013. In a county of a little more than 100,000, that’s nearly one in seven people.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, food wastefulness is also a pressing concern. While some families worry about where their next meal is coming from, other families waste up to $40 each month on uneaten food. To summarize John

Oliver’s take on the issue in an episode of “Last Week Tonight,” this is the monetary equivalent of leaving one full bag of groceries in the parking lot instead of taking it home after every trip to the grocery store.

Food is the largest contributor to landfill waste, and fresh fruit and vegetables are dumped by the tons every season to simply rot in the sun. This is because grocery stores often don’t receive food shipments in time before the food’s sell-by dates pass.

This means the shipment would already be destined for the trash before it hits the shelves.

However, by combining the problems of food insecurity and food waste, both can contribute to solving each other.

Organizations like the Food Recovery Network on campus donate food left over from the end of the day at WVU’s dining halls to places in need, like the Bartlett House or Scott’s Run Settlement House.

There’s also the recentlyimplemented Share-aSwipe program, where

students with extra meal swipes at the end of the semester can swipe multiple times to give friends free food or drinks at various locations accepting meal swipes.

For students not on a meal plan, practicing certain spending habits can prevent further food wastefulness. Just like shopping for clothes or other important items, it can be helpful to ask questions such as, “Will I really eat this?” or “Will I have time to eat this before it goes bad?” while in the grocery store.

Being particular about what perishable foods are purchased will both prevent food waste and save money as well.

America, unfortunately, wastes more food than any other nation, and 40 percent of food grown or produced in this country ends up being wasted. However, practicing better habits and participating in organizations that specialize in reducing food waste can turn these unfortunate facts around. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

According to statistics, most of the food pictured here will be wasted.

Being involved promotes academic and future success Shelby bradford columnist @shelbybradfordda

Freshman year is critical for all students. For many, this is the first time they have ever lived away from home.

Once school starts, new students can sometimes find themselves separated from the peer groups they were familiar with in high school and may also struggle with adhering to the new academic structure of college. As they attempt to adapt to these changes, many may find their grades slipping and lack the desire to continue forward.

The overwhelming weight of college expectations may be too great for these students, and many unfortunately drop out as a result.

This phenomenon has prompted research into increasing the retention rates of college freshmen, and surprisingly, the result was determined to be incredibly simple. Whether a student is a high-achieving freshman or non-traditional commuter, one study conducted by California State University in 2009 found the best decision students can make to boost their academic performance is to be involved in at least one extracurricular activity.

The aforementioned study took a sample of approximately 990 students

wvutoday.wvu.edu

One unique student organization, the WVU Quidditch Team, promotes teamwork and leadership skills. from various demographics and separated them into two categories: participants and non-participants in extracurricular activities. They further subdivided them by whether they were high-achieving (based upon entrance exam scores), commuters, non-traditional students or at the remedial level. In all cases, they discovered students from any

of these demographics are more likely to obtain higher GPAs and remain full-time students than those who did not participate in any extracurricular activities.

The notion that adding more responsibilities onto a freshman’s plate will help them succeed overall may be slightly confusing at first. However, as the Occupational Outlook Quar-

terly explained in 2008, extracurricular activities involving academics, performing arts and civic engagement provide opportunities to make new friends, express oneself and build social and leadership skills. They give students a place to ground themselves in college and explore their interests and opportunities surrounding their future career. In fact,

many extracurricular activities become a source of resumé building by adding unique skills and accomplishments to one’s personal inventory.

Taking all of this into consideration, student involvement in clubs, organizations, sports and other activities outside the classroom are undoubtedly just as much of a key to firstyear success as studying

and class attendance. However, many students still find it difficult to explore all the extracurricular options available.

Current freshmen at West Virginia University might be unaware of the extracurricular resources available to them both online and on campus. This could be alleviated with better advertising of club missions and membership.

WVU has both an Office of Student Engagement and a website detailing the total list of clubs this school offers, but many freshmen may not be aware such a website exists. (Hint: It’s accessible with a quick Google search.)

Another solution might be asking advisers and orientation leaders to present these tools to their advisees early in the year so students can become involved right away. Additional publicity of organizations and clubs via monthly emails may also promote student engagement, as well as requiring attendance to the annual Student Organization Fair held at the beginning of each school year.

Whatever the measure, more effort should be invested into encouraging freshmen to become involved in activities, as research has proven participation will help them reach their long-term academic goals. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Thin-shaming: The downsides of being size zero as a freshman Hannah messinger Florida state university

Today, everything from bikini hate to racial discrimination is covered in the news, but there is one version of shaming I believe has been effectively iced over and ignored: thin-shaming.

I am a 4’11”, 90-pound girl, and believe it or not, my size is commented on more than any other part of me. I’ve learned to embrace my less-than-average height, but I haven’t yet embraced the answer to why so many people ignorantly make negative remarks about my weight and size, even down to the size of my legs.

Sometimes it’s funny to mention that my feet are about twenty times smaller than the guy’s sitting next

DA

Shaming someone for their body type is always wrong, regardless of their size. to me, but when it comes to sensitive issues such as how much I weigh, I immediately put up a wall. Why is it okay to make derogatory comments about my size, regardless of my thinness?

Does my underweight appearance give people a free pass to make judgements

aloud whenever they want?

While my stature may be humorous, my struggle with weight is not. I have yet to meet someone, especially a teenage girl, who doesn’t struggle with some sort of insecurity surrounding that nasty little number

on the scale. It is sad and without reason most of the time, but it does not mean it isn’t an ever-present part of every day for most of us.

It should be perfectly clear by now across all college campuses that everyone has their hidden de-

mons and, statistically speaking, teenage girls with weight issues dominate the board. According to the National Eating Disorder Information Center, about half of teenage girls engage in unhealthy weight control behaviors. Given this information, in what world would you tell someone their weight is not okay in any manner?

Since my arrival on campus this semester, I’ve been told I need to eat a sandwich at least five times.

This comment doesn’t come from acquintances joking about my size, but from girls I know relatively well. In an effort to not be dramatic, I drop my eyes and force a laugh, trying to think of what to say next. How do you even answer that? “Yeah, I should really eat a sandwich,” or maybe, “Oh, no thanks, I’m full.”

Sadly, there is no right

answer. There is no way to possibly laugh it off. By bringing up my weight like it is some sort of joke or abnormality, every insecurity the world has tried to force onto my being has officially become reality instead of staying in the box of things my mother said were never true.

The fact is, I am proud of who I am and what I look like, and every college woman should have the right to say the same thing. about herself. I work hard to be fit and healthy, and if it bothers someone that I tend to stay on the slimmer side, they can keep it to themselves. Negative judgements of any kind are not okay, especially when they have to do with someone’s appearance.

Our weight is not our worth, and if you judge anyone for theirs, maybe you should be the one to eat a sandwich.

First Morgantown Marathon to happen this weekend melanie Smith A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Runners will dominate 26.2 heavenly miles this weekend in Morgantown.

The first annual Morgantown Marathon will be rocking the roads of Morgantown and surrounding areas, with runners from all around the world traveling to compete. This marathon is the first-ever to make an appearance in the regional area. With the marathon only a few days away, the number of registered runners is higher than the directors expected it to be.

The marathon is included within a full weekend experience. It will begin Friday with a packet pick-up and advantage health and wellness expo at the Ruby Community Center at Mylan Park. A V.I.P. reception for all dignitaries, sponsors and community leaders will conclude Friday evening at Operation Wel-

come Home. An inaugural mile will kick off Saturday morning from the Health Sciences Campus parking lot to the West Virginia University Coliseum, allowing the public to walk or run the mile for free.

The Mountain Mama 8k race will follow shortly after. On Sunday, the WVU Medicine Thirteener Half Marathon and the Tour Morgantown Marathon will begin from the Coliseum at 7 a.m.

Jamie Summerlin, director of the marathon, was inspired to bring the race to Morgantown through his experience of running across the country three years ago.

Summerlin averaged 36 miles in 100 days, dedicated to making it across the country in honor of supporting veterans. He saw many marathons and races throughout the nation, triggering the want for a race in his own backyard. Summerlin is anticipating a big crowd and is very eager to show the

world the true state of West Virginia.

“We’re bringing people to West Virginia that would never otherwise come here. I want them to go away with a view that West Virginia is a special place with special people,” Summerlin said. “There is nothing like showcasing Morgantown to countries around the world.”

The race course is quite different than other races Summerlin has seen across the country. He believes the course is challenging due to the turns and hills through the neighborhoods, but it encompasses the natural beauty of West Virginia.

The media coordinator for the marathon Josh Copen has supported Jamie’s idea from the beginning.

He shared the challenging run will be scenic as it hits all seven city wards of the area.

“Obviously, the scenery makes the race unique, and the location makes this a different type of

“The uniqueness of the diversity of the neighborhoods we run through will provide a look into our community. This is different than races usually are… it is diverse in that regard,” Summerlin said.

The marathon will donate a portion of the proceeds to Operation Welcome Home. The or-

ganization helps veterans of Morgantown gain assistance and linkage to necessary services and support they need, along with peer mentorship and basic guidance. Summerlin is a former navy seal, so he considers all veterans his heroes.

“We want the veteran population to know they are supported,” Summer-

lin said. “We are excited to bring an event here that will support people I consider my heroes.”

The marathon will start at 7 a.m. on Sept. 19 at the Coliseum. For more information or to register and donate to the marathon, visit http://morgantownmarathon.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Brown lecture covers art threatened by conflict Brittany Osteen A&E Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Last night, Corine Wegener, a Smithsonian Cultural Heritage Preservation Officer, presented her lecture “From Berlin to Baghdad: Saving Heritage in Armed Conflict” as a part of the Dan and Betsy Brown Lecture Series.

“Cu l t u ra l heritage doesn’t get saved by big organizations swooping in after disasters,” Wegener said. “It is about the community learning to be able to be prepared, organized and evacuate.”

The lecture focused on the history of cultural preservation. During World War II, the Monuments Men began working to preserve artifacts. At the time, it was a common right for the troops to be able to loot the area for any valuable pieces. The Nazis were infamous for taking artistic and cultural articles. The Monuments Men worked to recover more than five million items.

“Think of a house fire,” Wegener said. “People check to make sure their family is okay, but then they go back for the irreplaceable items.”

Wegener is the founder and president of the U.S. Committee of the Blue Shield, a non-profit organization that is devoted to protecting worldwide cultural artifacts in areas with armed conflict. Wegener related the Blue Shield to the Red Cross of artifacts. She was presented the 2007 ICOM-US International Service Citation for her work with the Blue Shield.

While working as the Associate Curator of Decorative Arts at the Minneapolis Insitute of Arts, she supported the recover program during the earthquakes in Haiti. Some Haitians began searching for special books and other artifacts right as the disaster began. Due to this and the support of the Smithsonian Institution, many of the objects were saved.

During her time in the U.S. Army Reserve as an Arts, Monuments and Archives Officer, Wegener played a vital role in the recovery of the National Museum of Iraq. During the war, the museum went through tremendous looting and, therefore, lost many relics.

‘The Muppets’ return to television; Miss Piggy swans, Kermit suffers LOS ANGELES (AP) — It took a decade for Bill Prady to bring his dream of a mockumentary-style sitcom peopled by Muppets to television.

When Muppets owner Walt Disney Co. finally agreed this year, Prady quickly encountered his next key constituency: the puppets’ adoring fans, whose congratulations to the producer came with a stern warning. “`Listen, these were a very important part of my childhood, and if you do anything to screw it up we’ll never forgive you,’” Prady recalled being admonished by everyone from his sister to strangers. “`We’re going to be watching. Best of luck!’”

The moment of truth arrives at 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday with the debut of ABC’s “The Muppets” starring Kermit, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Animal and the ever-fabulous Miss Piggy.

She’s the host of a talk show produced by onagain, off-now boyfriend Kermit with a staff that sets its own standard of professionalism. Despite that, “Up Late With Miss Piggy” attracts guests that include Josh Groban, Laurence Fishburne and Reese Witherspoon and has caught the eye of a documentary film crew.

They’ve got plenty to cover: star tantrums (Piggy, of course), office romances (Kermit and an ABC marketing executive, Denise, who happens to be a pig; he likes pigs, the frog concedes) and the Muppets’ off-set lives (Fozzie meets his human girlfriend’s parents and encounters bla-

tant species-ism).

The show aims for humor that can be appreciated on both adult and kid levels, its producers say, with a gentle reminder that these Muppets, save for Kermit, never mixed with their tamer “Sesame Street” relatives that include Cookie Monster and Elmo.

The jokes aimed at grown-ups likely will go over a child’s head. Example: When the staff gathers for a meeting, house band member Zoot jumps up and introduces himself in apparent accordance with rehab protocol. No, he’s told, it’s not THAT kind of meeting.

“The Muppets” is the crew’s first regular primetime TV gig since the shortlived “Muppets Tonight” aired in 1998, and it comes more than three decades after the 1976-81 success of “The Muppet Show.”

The puppets haven’t been idle, of course, making TV movies and specials - including one with Lady Gaga - and big-screen hits “The Muppets” (2011) and “Muppets Most Wanted” (2014).

But Prady said he wanted to see the Muppets in a more authentic light and figured he had the credentials for the job: He started as a TV writer with Henson, the brilliant Muppets creator who was 53 when he died in 1990.

“Characters over time, without the boldness of the person who set them in motion, soften,” Prady said.

“It’s a natural thing and it comes from the best place, which is that these are beloved characters, let’s protect them.”

“But the Muppets, if you go back to `The Muppet Show,’ they were sarcastic, they were snarky, they commented on the world around them,” he said.

Prady saw the rise of m o c k- d o c u m e n t a r i e s , among them “The Office,” as a way to achieve a Muppets renaissance. Henson put Kermit and pals to work on a variety show in “The Muppet Show” because the genre was a 1970s TV staple; why shouldn’t a mockumentary be another ideal vehicle?

When he brought the idea to Disney about 10 years ago they didn’t share his enthusiasm for their newly purchased brand.

He tried again, failed, then found a distraction: co-creating and producing (with Chuck Lorre) CBS’ hit “The Big Bang Theory.”

It was a nudge from veteran Muppets performer and series producer Bill Barretta that sent Prady back to Disney a third time, and this time he scored.

“Part of knowing this would work is in the characters themselves, because this in a way was what they were built for, to try to be real and in the real world,” said Prady, who developed the show with co-creator Bob Kushell (“The Simpsons,” “Anger Management”). Randall Einhorn is the director and a producer.

Prady rejects the idea that the mockumentary concept he long nurtured could be stale, instead arguing that it’s become entrenched as the sitcom form of today.

Whatever the vehicle, the Muppets shine under the stewardship of performers

The gang of colorful puppets again find themselves in America’s homes. who typically handle several puppets. They include Barretta (the Swedish Chef, Rowlf ); Steve Whitmire (Kermit, Rizzo); Eric Jaconson (Miss Piggy, Fozzie); Dave Goelz (Gonzo, Zoot); David Rudman (Scooter, Janice) and Matt Vogel (Sgt. Floyd Pepper).

“It’s the richest world of characters I’ve ever been a part of, other than maybe when I was writing for `The Simpsons’ back in their fourth, fifth, six seasons,” said Kushell. “That was an expansive, exciting world of characters.”

Whitmire, with the Muppets since 1978, says the series offers “a nice little progression of who (the puppets) are. We’ve been talking for years about the idea of finding out more about their personal lives.”

And it’s no holds barred, Prady told a TV conference in August: “We’ve been given unfettered access.”

“Yep,” Kermit confirmed to reporters. “I tried to fetter it, but it didn’t work out.”

West Virginia faces test against tough Georgetown squad

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

Coming off a disappointing second half in a 3-1 defeat to the Wright State Raiders, the Mountaineers are once again looking to find their mojo.

In c o n s i s t e n c y h a s plagued the talented Mountaineers for awhile.

They’ve outscored opponents 12-2 in West Virginia’s two wins, but opponents own an 8-2 advantage in their four losses.

Ryan Cain’s goal in the 20th minute couldn’t get the job done on Tuesday evening, as West Virginia surrendered three scores in the second half, falling to Wright State and dropping to 2-4 on the

season.

Sunday’s match against Georgetown poses possibly the toughest challenge yet on WVU’s loaded nonconference slate. Although Georgetown enters with a 2-2-1 record, one of its losses came to No. 11 Akron in 1-0 fashion and the other to a 3-1-1 Radford squad.

Georgetown’s season thus far is highlighted by an impressive 3-1 victory over then-No. 1 UCLA, led by a two-goal surge from junior Brett Campbell.

As the game inches its way closer, WVU knows it needs to work on its consistency issues and work its way back into the win column. Through six games, both of their wins came from six-goal

outbursts and were followed up by discouraging losses.

WVU has had their backs against the wall before, and the Mountaineers are more than capable of learning from their previous experiences this season. Following a two-game skid in the state of Michigan, they bounced back and pulled a 6-2 drubbing of James Madison.

“We have to go back to the drawing board and figure out if we’re going to be able to be blue collar when the time calls for us to be blue collar so we can grind out results,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc in an interview with WVUsports.com.

Navy’s goalie dominance, Michigan’s hat

trick from Francis Atuahene and Michigan State’s dazzling defense were each tough tasks to overcome, but Georgetown’s body of work and roster caliber are secondto-none. Four players enter as top-10 players in the Big East, and two are in the top three in a combined five statistical categories.

Brandon Allen headlines the Hoyas’ attack, leading the team in points (7), goals (2) and assists (3), and earning himself Big East Player of the Week honors, following three goals and three assists in wins over UCLA and Radford last week.

Goalie JT Marcinkowski was also named Big East Goalie and Freshman of the Week, collecting a league-high 10 saves for

the two contests and holding No. 1 UCLA to just a single score.

Joshua Yaro adds to the Big East’s most talented squad, coming in as the nation’s second-ranked player and top defender

by TopDrawerSoccer.com.

Yaro continues to get extensive looks from professional squads and appears to be a definite first round MLS Draft selection.

Georgetown’s 2014 season concluded in heartbreaking fashion, falling to Virginia in the NCAA Quarterfinals on penalty kicks. Its players are ready to build upon that this season. They advanced further than any other team on WVU’s schedule except Michigan State. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers open at William & Mary

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

After cancelling its fall season home opener, the Mountaineer Invitational, the West Virginia University women’s tennis team opens the 2015-16 season today at the William and Mary Tribe Invitational in Williamsburg, Virginia.

The three-day long tournament is played at a number of courts around the Williamsburg area, including Millie West Tennis Facility, McCormackNagelsen Center and Caf Tennis Courts.

Aside from the Mountaineers and host William and Mary, seven other schools are scheduled to participate: South Carolina, Dartmouth, Marshall, Old Dominion, Maryland, VCU and the University of Pennsylvania.

“We are very excited. It’s what we have been practicing for every day, and it’s going to be a very good tournament,” said head coach Miha Lisac in an interview with WVUSports. com. “We are excited with where we are at and what we have accomplished, and we want to be able to use this tournament to see what we need to improve on.”

West Virginia will compete in three singles and four doubles matches over the course of the three-day tournament.

The Mountaineers will face Penn and Old Dominion in doubles competition, and South Carolina, VCU and Dartmouth in singles play. WVU will also take on Maryland in both singles and doubles

WVU should expand Crest’s role The honeymoon period is over for the West Virginia Mountaineers football team. Opening tune-ups against Georgia Southern and Liberty are out of the way, and the real challenge earnestly begins in the upcoming weeks.

After they face Maryland next weekend, West Virginia will be tossed headfirst into one of the toughest and deepest conferences in college football, and with their revamped offense still lacking total chemistry, they would be well-served to try throwing a monkey wrench into their opponent’s gameplans.

As it happens, they have one heck of an X-factor in their backfield. His name is William Crest.

The backup quarterback is one of the best athletes and one of the best playmaking talents on the team, and he’s been wasted just sitting on the bench in case something happens to Skyler Howard.

Ohio State’s daring, innovative deployment of former starting quarterback Braxton Miller as a receiver and H-back should be an inspiration to Dana Holgorsen and his offensive staff. This is a new frontier of football; there are multiple ways Crest could fit in.

Earlier in the spring, it really looked like Crest would be used in an expanded role. In fact, Skyler Howard’s first pass in the spring game several months ago went to Crest. At the time, it looked like WVU was serious about using Crest as an H-back or a wide receiver – he even practiced catching punts.

But as the season approached, West Virginia abandoned the experiment.

Despite Crest’s talents, he’s only seen the field at quarterback in garbage time of West Virginia’s first two wins.

By limiting Crest this way, the Mountaineers also limit their offense. West Virginia has worked hard to turn Skyler Howard, a considerable natural athlete himself, into a viable read-option player – imagine what could happen if Howard ran the read-option with Crest?

West Virginia would then have multiple fast, athletic quarterbacks in the backfield, and there are no limits to the ideas the Mountaineers could come up with.

Both players would be a threat to either run or pass.

Howard would most likely be the stay-at-home option with Crest as the wild card, but Howard has the athleticism to make anything work. They could pass to each other – think Eric Crouch at Nebraska – or even get other backs, like Wendell Smallwood or Rushel Shell, involved.

Teams experimenting with the read-option, or deploying multiple playmaking weapons in Wildcat or pistol sets, has been commonplace in football for decades now, and we’ve seen teams get more and more daring throughout the years.

It would seem right if West Virginia would be at the forefront of this new innovation.

Morgantown has always been a place known for hosting forward-thinking offenses, dating back to the days of Pat White and the spread offense, to the modern air raid offense employed by Dana Holgorsen.

More and more, teams have realized that you don’t need to limit yourself just because two of your best playmakers play the same position. It’s time for West Virginia to do right with William Crest.

The West Virginia women’s soccer team walks off the pitch after their 4-0 win over Longwood this season.

No. 4 WVU takes on Buffalo, Florida Gulf Coast

BY DYLAN O’TOOLE SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

This weekend, the No. 4 ranked West Virginia University women’s soccer team will host Buffalo and conclude nonconference play on Sunday when they take on Florida Gulf Coast.

After an early season letdown at Virginia Tech, the Mountaineers have gone on a tear. WVU has rattled off six straight wins, allowing no goals and outscoring its opponents 21-0 over that

span.

The Mountaineers now sit at 7-1, as they prepare to take on Buffalo and Florida Gulf Coast.

Fresh off a weekend in which they were able to beat a ranked opponent in Ohio State and then abolish Longwood, the Mountaineers appear ready to defend their Big 12 title.

Buffalo and Florida Gulf Coast aren’t at the top end of the competition that WVU has played this year, but the Mountaineers will continue to take things one game at

a time.

“We’re excited about this weekend. Both these teams made the postseason tournament last year and have had success against top schools this year,” said Mountaineer head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in an interview with WVUsports. com.

“We know they’re going to be up to the challenge and are going to be ready for us. Both are a tough side, and this weekend is a good test for us as we prepare to move into Big 12 play.”

Buffalo is fresh off of its first NCAA Tournament appearance last season, where they lost to Penn State. WVU earned a 1-0 victory over Penn State on Sept. 4.

The Bulls went 16-3-3 last year and are looking to defend their Mid-American Conference title.

Florida Gulf Coast, another emerging top-caliber program, notched 17 wins last season, best in its history.

The Mountaineers victory over Longwood Sunday proved to be record-

breaking. WVU gave up no shots in its 4-0 victory. The defense’s magnificent performance led to Kadeisha Buchanan being crowned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

The outstanding stretch of excellence displayed by WVU has led it to its highest ranking in program history, No. 4 in the TopDrawerSoccer.com poll.

WVU continues to shoot for the No. 1 rank, which has certainly become a reachable goal. Virginia, Florida State and North Carolina sit

ahead of the Mountaineers in the polls.

Even with the high of the win streak still fresh, WVU sustained a huge loss to its back line following the win over Ohio State Friday.

Junior Carly Black, a staple of the Mountaineer defense, tore her ACL and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.

WVU will begin conference play on Sept. 25 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium against Texas. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU heads to Winthrop Invitational this weekend

BY JOHNNA HERBIG SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia volleyball team is heading down to Rock Hill, South Carolina to participate in the Winthrop Invitational this weekend.

To start off the three matches WVU has this weekend, the Mountaineers will play their first game tonight at 6 p.m. against Winthrop.

The Winthrop Eagles have an overall record of

4-7 this season. In their last match they won 3-0 against North Carolina Central. In that game, the Eagles were led by junior outside hitter Annelies Dokter, who had 11 kills. This will be the second time these two teams have ever competed against each other. The first time these teams had a match together, WVU took the win 3-2.

WVU’s second match will be against Davidson University, who has a record of 4-6 this season, making this their first match against

each other. The match starts at 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

The Davidson Wildcats’ last match was against Marshall Thundering Herd, defeating them 3-2.

In this match, the Wildcats were led by freshman Sabrina Shepherd, who had 15 kills.

The third and final match for the Mountaineers this tournament will be at 4:30 p.m. later that day against the Murray State Racers.

Murray State has a record of 7-1, and in their last

match, they beat Indiana State 3-0. The Racers having four players with double digits in kills in their last match could make them a tough team to beat. In that match, senior outside hitter Taylor Olden led with 17 kills. Senior Alyssa Lelm, junior Scottie Ingram and redshirt junior Kristen Besselsen all had 10 kills each.

In WVU’s last match, they beat in-state rivals Marshall 3-2. In that match, they were led by sophomore outside hitter Morgan Montgomery, who had 31

kills and 12 digs. Senior Caleah Wells followed behind her, notching 17 kills herself. This was the first time the Mountaineers have defeated the Thundering Herd since 2010, which resulted in WVU getting back the Golden Ball trophy.

“It is a great feeling, finally having (the Golden Ball Trophy) back at WVU is what we’ve really wanted the past few years,” Montgomery said.

In that game, Montgomery had her fourth doubledouble of the season, which

is the highest in her career as a volleyball player. The team leader has made a major improvement since last season.

The trio of games WVU will play in this weekend will be some of the last games leading up to them starting in the Big 12 Conference next week.

The conference matches for WVU will begin when they play Marshall at 6 p.m. on Sept. 25 at the WVU Coliseum.

Drones at stadiums easy to spot, hard to stop Whether they’re crashing into the bleachers or simply hovering above stadiums to get a cool picture of the action down below, drones have become semi-regular guests at the ballparks these days.

That has put the federal government, local police forces and security think tanks on alert, trying to catch up to the technology and figure out how to prevent the hard-to-stop devices from doing major damage.

“It’s scary for all of us,” said Lou Marciani, the director of the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security. “A

crash, even without a payload, has the potential to injure several people. And if they carry a payload, it could be anything from a weapon to anthrax to something worse than that.”

Drone crashes, two days apart, at the U.S. Open in New York and before a Kentucky football game, made news earlier this month.

But over the past two years, more than 50 unmanned aircrafts have flown over Major League Baseball and NFL stadiums, coming and going quietly - usually controlled by a hobbyist who either lost control of the device or wanted a picture of their favorite team

in action.

No harm done. But the prospect of the drones doing something worse has security experts looking for answers, and quickly.

Last October, the Federal Aviation Administration issued notice that it’s illegal to fly drones near Major League Baseball, NFL and NCAA Division I college football games and major auto races. Other sporting events can put their own bans in place. But the penalties for violating a ban and who hands out those sentences - is still murky.

In the Kentucky case, campus police brought wanton endangerment

charges against the owner of the wayward drone; at the U.S. Open, New York police brought similar charges against a high school science teacher who lost control of his drone.

The FAA issued a “law enforcement guidance” paper to help local jurisdictions figure out this new problem. It lists its own enforcement tools - including warning notices, letters of correction and civil penalties - but suggests state and local police do most of the work to detect the drones and enforce the penalties.

In its notice about temporary flight restrictions at sporting events, the FAA lists reckless endangerment, operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence, trespassing and assault as possible criminal charges for unsanctioned drone use.

Much of this, experts say, is the result of seat-of-thepants law- and rule-making to combat a new and very fluid problem. And none of it addresses the most important issue: How to prevent a drone from coming into a stadium in the first place.

“So much of this is unknown and so much of it raises so many questions,” said Derek Catsam of University of Texas of the

Permian Basin, who studies stadium security issue. “It’s a case of where the technology is so far ahead of our ability to come to grips with it.”

There are around 2,500 Major League Baseball games a year, so 31 drone sightings last year and nine so far this season does not constitute a major crisis, said John Skinner, the director of security for MLB. Still, baseball took part in a government project called “Operation Foul Ball” last year at the All-Star Game in Minneapolis to try to detect drones.

Skinner said Minneapolis police worked with the Department of Homeland Security on a system that could identify the radio frequencies of drones before they took off.

“In essence, it worked,” he said.

But it didn’t necessarily protect against the drones taking off; one found its way to the stadium during the home run derby. Also, there are private companies that can provide the same service using similar technology, and some of the teams have been approached about working with those companies.

Among the dozens of uses for drones at sports facilities is attaching cam-

eras to get before-impossible angles for the TV broadcasts. In January, ESPN cleared numerous regulatory hurdles so it could have drones with cameras follow skiers and snowboarders down the hill for the Winter X Games.

ESPN got approval only by ensuring it would not fly the drones over spectators or in the air space of planes flying in and out of a nearby airport.

Chris Calcinari, who spearheaded the approvals process for ESPN, called it a big opportunity because “I don’t think there are many events that would actually allow us to fly a drone.”

Another application: For security. It’s possible that drones themselves could be used to keep renegade drones away from fans.

And a drone can hover over a stadium to look for weapons, fights and other disruptions.

The idea of “good” drones and “bad” drones flying over the same stadium may seem like stuff of the future. But it’s an idea that’s not too farfetched.

“We’re in that infant stage of, what does this all mean and where is it going?” Marciani said. “It’s too early to know. You’re crawling. You’re not even standing up yet.”

Marcus Mariota’s electric debut probably a sign of things to come by will graves ap sports writer

Nice start, Marcus Mariota. Good luck in that encore on Sunday against Cleveland. History says you might need it, at least this week.

Mariota’s electric debut against NFL draft classmate Jameis Winston looked a little like Manning vs. Leaf 2.0, with Mariota confidently flicking four touchdown passes while posting a not-atypo 158.3 passer rating, the NFL quarterback’s version of a perfect game.

Statistically, there’s nowhere to go but down. Just how far down? Well, Mariota hopes not too far.

“I mean I just got to continue to play my game and focus on what I have to take care of,” he said.

Mariota is probably talking about the Titans, but just in case he was also taking your fantasy team into consideration, no offense Marcus, but savvy owners will probably stick you back on the bench for a bit,

though probably only for a bit.

Reality tends to come quickly for quarterbacks who turn their first four quarters in the NFL into something out of a Madden video game.

Courtesy of STATS, a look at some of the top opening week rookie performances in league history, what happened in Week 2 and beyond: FRAN TARKENTON Week 1: A scrambling quarterback before being a scrambling quarterback was cool, Tarkenton was a freshfaced 21-year-old when he entered the first game in Minnesota Vikings history on Sept. 17, 1961, against the Chicago Bears. Tarkenton threw for 250 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another score in a 37-13 win.

Week 2: Nightmarish. The Dallas Cowboys picked off Tarkenton twice and held him to 8 of 24 passing for 117 measly yards in a 21-7 Minnesota loss.

It got better, right? It did.

Eventually.

The Vikings went 2-8 in

Tarkenton’s 10 starts in 1961, though it was the beginning of a Hall of Fame career that saw Tarkenton lead Minnesota to three Super Bowls (all losses) and retire as the league’s all-time leader in passing attempts, completions, yards and touchdowns. Hey, that’s incredible. Or so we hear.

JIM KELLY Week 1: Kelly was a “rookie” in name only when he arrived in Buffalo in 1986 after the Donald Trump-led USFL shuttered. He torched the New York Jets for 292 yards and three touchdowns.

The Bills lost 28-24, but Kelly’s performance served notice the sad-sack Bills were headed back toward respectability after years adrift.

Week 2: On the road in Cincinnati against a pretty good Bengals team, Kelly hit 13 of 22 for 228 yards with a score and two picks, and Buffalo fell in overtime.

It got better, right? Way better.

The sixth pass of his career went 88 yards to Pierre Garcon for a touchdown, and he threw for 320 and two scores in all as the Redskins stunned New Orleans on the road, 40-32.

Week 2: Griffin was solid against the St. Louis Rams, going 20 of 29 for 206 yards and a touchdown and rushing for 82 yards and two scores, but the Rams rallied for a 31-28 win.

It got better, right? Uh, not really.

Griffin was Rookie of the Year in 2012, but shredded his right knee in a playoff loss to Seattle. He hasn’t been the same since because ... it’s the Redskins.

Rizzo homers, lifts Cubs to 9-6 win over Pirates PITTSBURGH (AP) — Anthony Rizzo started a sixrun fifth inning with his 30th homer, and the Chicago Cubs rallied for a 9-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Thursday to take three of four games between NL playoff contenders.

The Cubs moved within two games of the wild card leaders. Should the teams end up tied at the end of the regular season, Chicago would have homefield advantage, having won the season series with 10 wins in 16 games.

Pittsburgh trails St.

Louis by 4 ½ games in the NL Central. The Cardinals play a night game against the Brewers at Milwaukee.

The Cubs turned a 4-3 deficit into a 9-4 lead with the fifth-inning outburst that included a two-run double by reliever Clayton Richard (4-2) and RBI singles by Addison Russell and Tommy La Stella.

The Cubs’ Kris Bryant had his second straight three-hit games. La Stella and Russell drove in two runs each and were two of four Chicago players with two hits along with Rizzo

and Dexter Fowler.

Richard allowed two runs in 3 1-3 innings in relief of starter Kyle Hendricks, who gave up four runs on three home runs in three innings. Travis Wood struck out five in two perfect innings for his second save.

Charlie Morton (9-8) lost for the fourth time in five starts as he was rocked for six runs — five earned — and nine hits in fourplus innings.

Gregory Polanco and Pedro Alvarez both homered while finishing with two hits and two RBIs for

the Pirates. Travis Snider also went deep while Neil Walker and Jordy Mercer had two hits each.

Polanco hit an RBI single in the seventh and scored on Walker’s double to pull the Pirates to 9-6.

The Pirates went ahead 4-3 in the third inning when Polanco led off with his ninth home run and Alvarez hit a two-run shot, his 24th.

The Cubs built 3-0 lead as a first-inning run came home on a double play grounder then Russell and La Stella had RBI doubles in the second.

Snider hit a solo homer in the second, his fourth of the season and first since the Pirates re-signed him last month after he was released by the Baltimore Orioles.
