WVU works to improve Rec parking By hollie Greene staff writer @dailyathenaeum

When students go to the Student Recreation Center on the Evansdale campus, full parking lots greet them.

Students who don’t plan to go to the Rec frequently still park in its lot, which Clement Solomon, director of West Virginia University’s Department of Transportation and Parking, said prevents students from fully utilizing the facilities.

“We’re working on some

sort of a system where we can (use) that lot primarily for Rec Center users,” Solomon said. “It used to be that way in the past. It’s nothing different than how it was done before.

It’s just going to be done a little smarter.”

Several years ago, people who parked in the lot were required to display a ticket on their dashboards to prove they were using the Rec. The new system will resemble the older one, Solomon said. He hopes the changes will be more efficient at identifying whether or not the user

is inside of the building.

Solomon believes the solution to the problems at the Rec—some form of validated parking—will come toward the end of October.

Not everyone is in favor of the proposed system. Derek Hysell, a sophomore nursing student, is unsure about the idea, but he understands why the new system is important.

“I would be pretty upset, too if I drove all the way to the Rec and there wasn’t anywhere to park…” he said. “The whole idea of having to prove you’re there seems like such

a hassle. Honestly, can anyone blame the people that do that? It’s free. If I had class in the CPASS building, I’d park there too.”

In response to similar remarks from other students, Solomon points to all of the alternative parking options students can use.

“We just opened a shortterm lot a couple of weeks ago, right across from the Rec Center, with (more than) 100 spaces,” Solomon said. “They can park there, or they can

WVU auxiliary aids move to satellite accessibility for students, faculty

BATTLING HOMELESSNESS

by paige czyzewski staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Last semester, a student thanked Holly Fox for a gift you’d never expect—the ability to communicate with their family.

“That was one of those moments when it was like, ‘This is why we do this,’” Fox said.

Fox is West Virginia University’s auxiliary aid coordinator for deaf or hard of hearing faculty, staff and students. She and 12 other aids serve the University’s main campus, Potomac State and WVU Tech.

This fall, auxiliary aids officially moved to satellite accessibility. This means as long as students and employees can establish an Internet connection, Fox and other aids can step in and offer assistance.

“The intent is to facilitate communication and integrate students more into the classroom,” Fox said.

“Then we don’t have to be physically present, so (those who are deaf or hard of hearing) are even less singled out or visible to everybody because everybody has a tablet or a laptop now.”

But that wasn’t the case 10 years ago.

Fox enrolled in her first American Sign Language (ASL) class in high school. She “fell in love with sign language through immersion,” and quickly made friends in the deaf community.

“You just have to learn their own culture and language and respect that they have their own culture and language,” she said.

Fox came to WVU in 2005, and said becoming an auxiliary aid happened “organically” after she took an aptitude test. She has been an accessibility employee ever since.

Fox now works with five other interpreters, six transcribers and two co-workers who do both.

In addition to coordinating schedules and servicing students during their classes, auxiliary aids caption course videos and transcribe and interpret field trips, University performances, staff meetings and special events like the Brad Paisley concert, a cadaver lab and ESPN GameDay. Aids previously struggled with traveling between WVU and its regional campuses, but now they work from a central location in the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Students and employees connect to them through TypeWell, a networking software, or Skype or Jabber, both well-known video chat apps.

Both programs allow employees to listen through a student’s laptop, tablet or cellular microphone and transcribe or interpret the professor’s lecture for the student.

“What we’re doing is pretty unusual,” said Jason Kapcala, a WVU auxiliary aid. “There are a lot of people who provide remote transcribing, like companies.

But for a university to have a staff of transcribers and for them to be working remotely? No one else is really doing this.”

Kapcala is the Office of Accessibility’s lead tran-

Number of homeless students in West Virginia drops by 11 percent by jake jarvis city editor @newsroomjake

The number of homeless K-12 students in the United States reached an all-time high of nearly 1.4 million students during the 201314 school year, according to recent numbers from the U.S. Department of Education.

In West Virginia, the number of homeless students dropped slightly to 7,430 from a peak during the 2012-13 school year where 8,323 were homeless.

But experts say that 11 percent reduction isn’t good enough.

“These trends are heartbreaking yet entirely predictable, given the federal government’s chronic absenteeism in community discussions about affordable housing for low-income families,” said Ruth White, executive director of National Center for Housing and Child Welfare.

Kristen Anderson, spokeswoman for the state Department of Education, credits the general increase to schools being better equipped at identifying

homeless students than in previous years.

To combat homelessness among students, Congress passed the McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act in 2001, an act which provides grant money to states based on its share of Title 1 funds.

From there, school districts within the state compete for the chance to receive three year subgrants that range from $10,000-$25,000.

Although the number of homeless West Virginian students has increased, the number of students

benefitting from McKinney-Vento during the 201314 school year is almost the same as the 2009-10 school year. From the 200910 school year to now, the number of homeless students in West Virginia has increased 184 percent, federal data shows.

And the number of students not benefitting from the grant is at an all-time high for the state.

Each of the 18 school districts that applied in July for a three-year subgrant received some sort

Cecilia Rollins Brown Bag Lunch Film & Discussion Series presents film at Gluck Theatre by robert lee staff writer @dailyathenaeum

In early 2000, Cecilia Rollins noticed an absence of cultural diversity on West Virginia University’s campus, so she worked on a way to start conversations in the community by inviting people of different cultures to interact with one another.

Nearly 15 years later, the Cecilia Rollins Brown Bag Lunch Film & Discussion Series continues as a series of programs using film, expert

speakers and presentations to bring multicultural knowledge to WVU. “It’s a way to open up a discussion between two different cultures who may not interact, or perhaps interact negatively, which opens up the need for discussion,” said Jason Burns, WVU program specialist.

Tuesday afternoon, the series presented “Samsara” at the Gluck Theatre, a film that is part documentary and part meditation as it deals with Buddhism and the ideals of reincarnation.

The documentary depicts the vast expanse of the human experience in a compelling combination of visuals and music. It’s a non-verbal narrative that’s very hypnotic, but it may not be for everyone, Burns said.

“It’s almost like watching a lava lamp, but after a couple of minutes, you just get caught up into it,” Burns said.

Hank Oliver, a WVU project coordinator, moderated and led the discussion for “Samsara”, which was used to prep the 2015 study abroad program.

“WVU has over 100 study abroad opportunities, so using visual media like this helps showcase those (opportunities) and helps start a conversation about them, so people can better understand what’s offered to them,” Oliver said. “It’s effective at targeting a different type of audience we don’t typically get.

We can do something entertaining and provide people with lunch, a new piece cinema and talk about different opportunities.”

The film and discussion series was designed to start con-

versations about both minor and major world issues by showcasing programs relevant to the current month’s awareness, Burns said.

Unfortunately, Rollins, the first WVU coordinator for multicultural programs, passed away five years ago, but the initial goal for the film series has remained the same: Spark important and relevant conversation in the community while nudging people out of their comfort zones, Burns said “Any (student in any) major can come, and I think it’s

Pope of the poor arrives in U.S. denying he’s a liberal

Pope Francis talks with President Barack Obama after arriving at Andrews Air Force Base in Md., Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015. The Pope is spending three days in Washington before heading to New York and Philadelphia. This is the Pope’s first visit to the United States. First lady Michelle Obama is at right.

WASHINGTON (AP)— The pope of the poor arrived for his first-ever visit to the world’s wealthiest superpower Tuesday denying he is a leftist and riding in a frugal little family car, windows rolled down.

Pope Francis’ chartered plane from Cuba touched down at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, where President Barack Obama and his wife and daughters paid him the rare honor of meeting him at the bottom of the stairs on the red-carpeted tarmac. Presidents usually make important visitors come to them at the White House.

Emerging from the aircraft to loud cheers from a crowd of hundreds, the smiling 78-year-old pontiff removed his skullcap in the windy weather and made his way down the steps in his white robes.

He was welcomed by a military honor guard, chanting schoolchildren, politicians, and Roman Catholic clerics in black robes with vivid sashes of scarlet and purple. Joe Biden, the nation’s first Catholic vice president, and his wife were among those who greeted him.

Eschewing a limousine, the pope climbed into the back of a little Fiat sandwiched between huge black SUVs. He promptly rolled down the windows, enabling the cheering, whooping crowds to see him as his motorcade took him to the Vati-

of funding, according to Anderson.

In Monongalia County, too, the number of homeless students is at record highs.

Kristen Mendelson, homeless facilitator in the Monongalia County school district, has ran the county’s grant program for 14 years. Prior to that, she was the executive director of Scott’s Run Settlement House for seven years.

“I may or may not learn about (every homeless student) all the time, because you do have foster care situations that the schools don’t think to tell me,” Mendelson said. “I only have knowledge of something if the schools are letting me know.”

Last year, Mendelson had the largest caseload she’s ever had since she came to the education system. She identified 175 homeless students last year, up from 119 students in 2011.

“I’m sure that our numbers are low, but (homelessness) is a very private

can diplomatic mission in Washington, where he will stay while in the nation’s capital.

The choice of car was in keeping with his simple habits and his stand against consumerism. His decision to roll down the windows reflected his penchant for trying to connect to ordinary people despite the tight security around him.

During his six-day, three-city visit to the U.S., the pope will meet with the president on Wednesday, address Congress on Thursday, speak at the United Nations in New York on Friday and take part in a Vatican-sponsored conference on the family in Philadelphia over the weekend.

The Argentine known as the “slum pope” for ministering to the downtrodden in his native Buenos Aires is expected to urge America to take better care of the environment and the poor and return to its founding ideals of religious liberty and open arms toward immigrants.

During the flight, Francis defended himself against conservative criticism that his condemnation of trickle-down economics makes him a communist.

“I am certain that I have never said anything beyond what is in the social doctrine of the church,” he said. He said some may have misinterpreted thing,” she said. “Unless there’s a need identified by families or situations known, I may not always learn about it.”

But then again, the definition of homeless used by the McKinney-Vento Act is different from what most people might imagine.

Besides living on the street or in a homeless shelter, the Act also considers, among other things, all of the following as a homeless situation: living in a motel or weekly motel, temporary foster care and substandard living; for example, without electricity or water.

Most of Mendelson’s students don’t live on the streets or in homeless shelters as many might imagine after hearing the word homeless.

Instead, they’re often families that are doubledup with other families in a single home because of recent economic instability.

This matches data from the National Center for Homeless Education which shows about 65 percent of all homeless students in the state live in doubled-up situations. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

his writings in a way that makes him sound “a little bit more left-leaning,” but he said that’s wrong.

Joking about doubts in some quarters over whether he is truly Catholic, he said, “If I have to recite the Creed, I’m ready.”

Francis is the fourth pope ever to visit the United States.

Francis’ enormous popularity, propensity for wading into crowds and insistence on using an open-sided Jeep rather than a bulletproof popemobile have complicated things for U.S. law enforcement, which has mounted one of the biggest security operations in American history to keep him safe.

The measures are unprecedented for a papal trip and could make it nearly impossible for many ordinary Americans to get anywhere close to Francis.

For all the attention likely to be paid to Francis’ speeches, including the first address from a pope to Congress, his more personal gestures visiting with immigrants, prisoners and the homeless - could yield some of the most memorable images of the trip.

“What the pope does in the United States will be more important than what he says,” said Mat Schmalz, a religious studies professor at Holy Cross college in Worcester, Massachusetts.

For students who have a difficult time hearing their instructors, TypeWell and Jabber make it easier for them to confidently participate in class, Kapcala said. “( TypeWell) levels the playing field. It allows people who are really smart, capable, talented to use those talents and skills and intelligence with people that wouldn’t have other wise had the chance to,” Kapcala said.

Aids must take an aptitude test which measures their grammar and me chanics, memor y skills and typing speed to use TypeWell. Once accepted, aids train rigorously for two to three months.

Aids must type up to 200 words per minute through keyboard short cuts and chunking—the process of explaining what a profes-

“There are a lot of things he will say about capitalism and about wealth inequality, but many Americans and politicians have already made up their minds on these issues.

What I would look for is a particular gesture, an unscripted act, that will move people.”

In Cuba, Francis basked in the adulation of Cubans grateful to him for brokering the re-establishment of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and the communist island.

On the plane, though, he told reporters he will not use his speech to Congress to call specifically for the U.S. to lift the Cold War-era trade embargo against Cuba.

He arrives at a moment of bitter infighting across the country over gay rights, immigration, abortion and race relations - issues that are always simmering in the U.S. but have boiled over in the heat of a presidential campaign.

Capitol Hill is consumed by disputes over abortion and federal funding for Planned Parenthood after hidden-camera videos showed its officials talking about the organization’s practice of sending tissue from aborted fetuses to medical researchers. While Francis has staunchly upheld church teaching against abortion, he has recently allowed ordinary priests, and not just sor means rather than t ra n s c r i b i n g verbatim. They must also obtain and study eCampus notes, PowerPoint slides and extra materials for their students so they are knowledgeable of course terminology.

TypeWell makes transcribing and interpreting more flexible and successful for communication, Fox says.

“What we were doing before was not cost effective and took too much time. We have more time to actually connect with our students now,” Fox said. “We’re going through the college experience with our students and watching them move on. You keep up and find what they’re doing now, and sometimes they say, ‘Thank you, I didn’t realize I was missing so much.’”

bishops, to absolve women of the sin.

Francis’ visit comes three months after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage, putting U.S. bishops on the defensive and sharply dividing Americans over how much they should accommodate religious objectors. The pope has strongly upheld church teaching against same-sex marriage but adopted a welcoming tone toward gays themselves, saying, “Who am I to judge?” when asked about a supposedly gay priest.

Americans are also wrestling anew with issues of racism. A series of deaths in recent years of unarmed black men at the hands of law enforcement has intensified debate over the American criminal justice system. Francis will see that system up close when he meets with inmates at a Pennsylvania prison.

U.S. bishops, meanwhile, expect Francis will issue a strong call for immigration reform, a subject that has heated up with hardline anti-immigrant rhetoric from some of the Republican presidential candidates, especially Donald Trump.

Francis, the first Latin American pope, will be sending a powerful message on that front by delivering the vast majority of his speeches in his native Spanish.

“Our presidential can-

didates have been using immigrants as a wedge issue,” Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski said. “It’s our hope that the visit of Pope Francis will change this narrative.”

Francis’ most eagerly watched speech will be his address to Congress. Republicans and many conservative Catholics have bristled at his indictment of the excesses of capitalism that he says impoverish people and risk turning the Earth into an “immense pile of filth.”

Many conservatives have likewise rejected his call for urgent action against global warming.

Nevertheless, Francis enjoys popularity ratings in the U.S. that would be the envy of any world leader. A New York Times/ CBS News poll conducted last week found 63 percent of Catholics have a favorable view of him, and nearly 8 in 10 approve the direction he is taking the church.

Just how far Francis presses his agenda in Washington is the big question.

Paul Vallely, author of “Pope Francis, The Struggle for the Soul of Catholicism,” predicted both “warmth” and “some finger-wagging” from the pope.

“He w on’t ne cessarily confront people head-on,” Vallely said, “but he’ll change the priorities.”

Not a big fan of pumpkin spice lattes? That’s no problem. Starbucks, although highly recognized for its tantalizing pumpkin spice latte, features fellow fall beverage the salted caramel mocha.

While the pumpkin spice latte and salted caramel mochas return to Starbucks as signature fall favorites, toasted graham cracker lattes will be offered for the first time as a new fall special. The new beverage combines graham cracker and sweet cream with Starbucks espresso and milk and is topped with a dusting of cinnamon graham cracker crumbles.

Starbucks also offers an array of fall pastries to accompany those sweet sips. Classic pumpkin scones, sugar cookies and muffins will all return, as well as pecan tarts and Washington apple pound cakes.

Manager Todd Williamson said he enjoys the salted caramel mocha with a twist. Instead of adding the original mocha flavor, Williamson adds white mocha, creating a salted caramel white mocha. Williamson said he is also a fan of the pumpkin scone.

“It’s moist, it’s a nice dense pastry,” he said.

“It has a really delicious hunk of icing drizzled on top of it.”

Williamson said the pumpkin spice latte is a student favorite at the café by far.

terra cafe Terra Cafe in Star City will debut new fall treats this week in honor of the beginning of fall. The cafe is best known for its signature smoothies, brunch and dinner entrees and selection of desserts and treats. Terra Cafe is locally owned and all food is made in-house.

In honor of fall, the cafe serves pumpkin-flavored lattes, coffee, cupcakes, cheesecake and a variety of pumpkin baked goods. Customers have purchased more hot drinks recently to keep up with the declining temperatures.

Terra Cafe will debut its new pumpkin smoothie next week. The smoothie will include pumpkin flavor, graham cracker, piecrust, pumpkin pie sauce and pumpkin pie spice on top. Manager Kevin Rogers believes the pumpkin smoothie will be popular among the other frequently bought drinks.

“We have definitely noticed an increase in pumpkin demand,” Rogers said. “We have made a lot more pumpkin lattes in the past few weeks. Also, we have pumpkin cupcakes in high demand.”

Rogers said customers have not increased in numbers, but customers have asked about new pumpkin products arriving in the restaurant.

“It’s a black tea, so it has some hype to it, but not as much as an espresso shot,” Braham said.

Alongside the popular pumpkin chai, Eliza’s also offers one of Braham’s personal favorites, S’mores hot chocolate. The dessert drink adds a couple pumps of toasted marshmallow syrup to a cup of rich hot chocolate. Braham said if you enjoy more of a charge in your drink, add a shot of espresso.

“It’s yummy for this time of year,” Braham said.

“It’s like sitting around the campfire. It’s kind of like enjoying a S’more.”

Braham said soups will make their way to Eliza’s menu on Oct. 5. She said students enjoy broccoli cheese and chicken noodle soup, as well as wedding soup.

The Grind is located on Willey Street.

There’s a hole in the pumpkin-flavored industry of the fall season that The Grind knows how to fill. That hole is an empty stomach.

The Grind, located right next to the Downtown campus, is a local coffee and pastry shop that will offer more than just pumpkin-flavored coffee in the next few weeks. This place is focusing more on the pastry aspect of the fall squash.

“We always try to stick somewhat seasonal with it (baking) because we do it fresh, in-house every morning,” said Andy Strager, a strategic communications student at West Virginia University and worker at The Grind.

Strager said a baker comes in every morning around 4:30 - 5 a.m. and freshly bakes the scones and muffins of the day.

“Whoever’s doing it is a champ,” he said.

And the pumpkin is naturally getting more popular during the fall season.

“In the past week or so, we’ve had people asking about it,” he said. “With the menu, you walk in every morning, see the chalkboard and see what’s there. It’s different every single day.”

There’s no set date for when the rest of the pumpkin flavoring comes in, but that also gives The Grind its personality and one-of-a-kind cafe feel.

“We pride ourselves in being different from, you know, the corporate chains, and it’s locally owned. We really pay attention to stuff, which is a big difference between them and us,” Strager said. “That being said, we don’t have finite deadlines when we start and stop. We start whenever we get it, and we stop whenever we run out.”

The Grind is located at 168 Willey St. and is open 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. ‑JFC

While the thought of fall might bring to mind crumbling leaves, scarecrows and corn mazes, for many the first day of the season marks the return of The Blue Moose’s much-anticipated fall menu items.

The Blue Moose Cafe located on Walnut Street is not only anticipating cooler temperatures, but the release of its fall menu as well. The Blue Moose offers its classic pumpkin spice latte but is also known for its hot apple cider, served with a cinnamon stick.

Dunkin Donuts The Dunkin Donuts on Earl L Core Road offers its annual pumpkin spice lattes in addition to its selection of pumpkin treats. The newly opened Dunkin’ Donuts store anticipates this fall season because of the growing popularity of pumpkin spice. The store opened within the past year, so this fall season will be its first serving the Morgantown community.

Dunkin’ Donuts’ fall menu includes the pumpkin spice latte served hot or cold, pumpkin cake glazed donuts, pumpkin crème cheese filled donuts, pumpkin muffins and pumpkin syrup that can be added to any beverage. Many customers add pumpkin syrup to black coffee and vanilla chai tea lattes to enhance their treats for the fall season.

Dottie White, the manager or this location, said the store sells about 200 pumpkin spice lattes a day. The popularity has grown immensely within the last four years she has worked with the franchise.

“It started not coming out until November,

in the bakery throughout the season. Blue Moose owner Gary Tannenbaum said that many of the fall specials would no longer be offered around the first of November. Just as fast as the leaves disappear from the tops of trees, so will Blue Moose’s hot apple cider.

“When the weather turns cold, we also serve a vegetarian chili,” Tannenbaum said.

Tannenbaum said while fall commences the addition of the vegetarian chili, the menu item would be offered through the remainder of the fall and winter season. ‑CMW

But, for now, pumpkin is up at bat and will be in full swing soon. The Starbucks coffee is being a little finicky.

“Starbucks is limited,” Capron said about the pumpkin flavor. “They only offer it during October and November.”

However, Capron said the Starbucks version is on order.

“As soon as it comes in, we’ll put it up,” he said.

For now, the pumpkin coffee at Brew ‘n Gold Cafe is a recipe-followed latte with the Firsthand coffee, but the establishment will soon offer a special new item starting this week.

“This week, we’re doing a soft training session with frappuccinos,” Cap-

ron said. “It’s a new item for us - it’s a Starbucks signature item - and they’ve allowed us to produce the Starbucks frappuccino.”

That will only be offered at the Brew ‘n Gold. But, as for pumpkin flavored fraps, Capron isn’t sure about the Starbucks brand.

“Starbucks is very particular and very controlling on how they put out their recipes, and we’re so new to the frappuccino business that I can’t answer that question,” he said.

The Brew ‘n Gold is located in Towers on the Evansdale campus and is open from 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Friday. ‑JFC

real juice bar & Cafe The Real Juice Bar & Cafe on Pleasant Street provides new fall treats that go beyond pumpkin spice beverages. With opening merely over a year ago, The Real Juice Bar & Cafe will enter its second fall season in Morgantown.

The juice bar gives a twist to the average fall treats, adding fire cider juice shots to the menu for three dollars. In addition, pumpkin spice muffins and a variety of baked goods will be sold throughout the fall season.

Overcoming economic struggles West Virginia was recently named the next-tolast poorest state by the U.S. Census. The data reported a poverty rate of close to 18 percent and a median income of about $41,000 from all residents in the state, with only Mississippi ranked lower. Interestingly enough, Maryland, a border state of West Virginia, was ranked the richest state in the nation with a median income of nearly $74,000 and only a 10 percent poverty rate.

There are many reasons why West Virginia has continued to remain at the bottom in terms of the socioeconomic status of its residents. Several sources blame the lack of urban centers and higher education options the state offers, which is also known to lead to higher drug use and crime rates.

Geography likely plays a role as well. West Virginia’s mountainous areas are notoriously difficult to develop, which affects overall wealth accumulation among residents. In general, rural areas are less wealthy than more urbanized cities and towns because businesses in those areas only serve the small number of

Thurmond, a once-booming coal town, is now home to just seven residents. people living in that area.

This yields little to no economic growth for small communities.

Mining is another factor. In the late 1800s, Bramwell, a small town in the southern part of the state, had the largest concentration of millionaires per capita from the mining industry. The town’s high school mascot is still the Million-

aire today, though the economy in southern West Virginia has been suffering since the decline of coal as an energy source. Mines can only be in operation as long as there is coal to mine, and backwoods West Virginia is littered with once-prosperous coal towns abandoned in the early and mid-20th century.

Though most of these

factors are out of residents’ control, the American Psychological Association reported the educational effects of schoolchildren living in low-income households. Children from households of lower SES learn to read less quickly than their high-SES peers, retain less information from school overall and are more likely to drop out of high school.

Of those dropouts, only a small percentage obtain their GED and pursue better-paying job options, which leaves most of West Virginia’s dropouts without the chance to raise their SES. This editorial board believes these statistics emphasize the importance of West Virginia-born students seeking higher educa-

tion. The Promise scholarship has made it possible for many students to pursue degrees in high-paying fields like medicine, engineering and computer science. After graduation, these students will be able to pursue lucrative careers and hopefully raise this state from its current position on the list. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

International House deserves protection on campus emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

During a night out downtown last weekend, I was fortunate enough to meet a West Virginia University student who was a bit different from the rest of our group. His name was Egill, and although he spoke English fluently, I learned he was an international student from Iceland. Growing up in West Virginia, I have had only limited exposure to people from other countries, but luckily for me, he didn’t seem to mind answering my many questions about his life back home and the differences between Iceland and the United States.

From what I learned about Egill, he has enjoyed similar experiences conversing with the American students as well as the other international students, many of whom live in West Virginia University’s International House downtown.

Although he does not live there personally, he described the International House as being a sort of headquarters for WVU’s international student community. Even the students who live in the dorms and off-campus apartments enjoy stopping by to do homework or relax in a place that feels like their dedicated

space.

Unfortunately, Egill told me something else I didn’t know before that night.

The International House that has served as a “home away from home” for students from other countries for more than a decade is in danger of closure in 2016.

Before the International House was established, the property housed a sorority. Although the chapter was banned from campus 10 years ago, it has recently accepted an invitation from the University to return.

According to statements made by Shawna Stewart, the residence coordinator for the Mountaineer News Service, there is no other house on campus dedicated to international students. Their only option at this point is to move into a dedicated space in one of the University dorms - a move that she feels would be severely detrimental to the program.

“There’s not another house for us on campus,” Stewart said. “Part of the flavor of the international program is the small community that we build here, and I don’t know if that would work well in any of the larger buildings.”

The International House is home to 37 students every year. Some of the residents even include American students who have completed

The International House is located on Spruce Street, neighboring the Sigma Kappa sorority house. a rigorous application process to be selected for the opportunity to immerse themselves in the small mixed-culture community.

Several pre-existing programs in the House would become impossible to execute in a University dorm.

For example, according to the Mountaineer News Service, Friday nights are special in the House. They serve as an opportunity for students from each country to serve a dinner consist-

ing of cuisine from home, play their country’s popular music and present a PowerPoint about their culture. If the students were housed in a dorm, they likely wouldn’t even have access to a kitchen or dining room to make this tradition possible.

International students like Egill strongly feel the sense of community fostered in the International House would not only be diminished, but could be

lost altogether. Part of what makes our University great is our commitment to continue learning beyond the academic setting. The international community here is vitally important to who we as the WVU community are as a whole, and it must be preserved.

Pushing the international community aside for the benefit of the Greek community is not only a disappointing action by the University but also dispar-

aging to a unique learning environment comprised of students from all over the world—an environment which could not exist by any another means.

The University must take steps to ensure the continued survival of the International House, even if it means purchasing a new property to dedicate to this purpose. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Braids: Cultural appropriation or unoffensive hairstyle choice?

Amanda tejuca florida state university

The recent braids controversy is happening in the midst of the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

It also comes at a time when some say tragedies like what occurred in Ferguson, Mo. surrounding the Trayvon Martin case are sparking the need for a second civil rights movement.

With treatment of blacks in America at the forefront of the media, braids went from a seemingly innocent hairstyle to a topic of conversation and deep divide between races when twelve-year-old Mallory Merk showed off her box braids on social media.

Right away, social media platforms went haywire with hateful comments,

DA

rants and arguments by the thousands.

Naturally, two opposing views formed. While both of them have valid points, there is no denying that today’s pop culture is laden with black culture.

Nicki Minaj tweeted, “I’m not always confident. Just tired. Black women influence pop culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it.”

Taking this into consideration, it’s clear why one half of the argument involves being offended by Mallory’s choice of hairstyle.

As Nicki Minaj pointed out, black women feel as though white women are appropriating their culture without giving them credit.

In her YouTube video “white girl with box braids RANT,” Sensei Aishitemasu says ”When we wear braids and af-

A 12-year-old’s hairstyle sparked controversy across the Internet in January. ros and locks, when we reclaim our natural hair, it is a journey...it means something. It is not just hair.”

Not all comments were negative. The other half of the dispute felt like women of any race should be able to do whatever they please

with their hair, as it is “just hair.” Those publicizing their opinion noted this was not a race issue until black women made it a race issue.

It is clear that “claiming” a hairstyle and making it off limits to other races causes more prob-

lems than not, but the issue seems to be whether black women have the right to do so. One side believes they have persevered and are still persevering. The other side holds the opinion that hairstyles should not belong to a specific race,

and doing so only manifests further segregation in America.

It is important to point out how the two emerging views were not racespecific. Comments from men and women of different races poured in showing support for the opposing side as well.

The pictures prompting this argument serve as a critical point in discussing and understanding the various race issues in America today. At first glance they’re simply pictures of girls trying out new hairstyles, but they have the power to ignite strong passions in people of all ages and racial identities. The deep-rooted partition still persisting in this country was unveiled with something as harmless as a hairstyle, and this is something worth noting.

Blackwater Mojo to play at Gene’s brittany osteen A&e writer @dailyathenaeum

It’s time to grab a hot dog and a cold beer and get your “stompholler” on.

This Friday, Gene’s Beer Garden is hosting Blackwater Mojo.

The West Virginia native band is made up of husband and wife Seth and Erin Young.

The two started playing music together in Cincinnati. A few years later, they became a duet and eventually got married. That was when they created the band Blackwater Mojo in 2006, located out of Elkins.

“We wanted to be able to play music with each other,” Erin said. “It is a really great way to express yourself creatively and get your sound out there.”

They describe their sound as “reso-phonic stomp rock.” Their sound features a mix of blues, rock n’ roll and Appalachian folk influences. They take inspiration from The White Stripes, The Black Keys, R.L. Burnside and

Gene’s Beer Garden is known for its famous hotdog and is claimed by some to be the “best hot dog in Morgantown.” They

are unique in the fact that they still steam the hot dog buns as well as the hotdogs themselves.

Blackwater Mojo just finished its second tour.

The duo has recently traveled to Europe and played in Iceland, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. During their time

there, they played approximately 14 shows in about a month’s time. Recently, they were also given the opportunity to record an album.

“It’s about making connections and taking your music to other places,” Erin said. “American music is very popular over there. There is a big blues theme over there and I would also say that there is a big American Roots style theme going on over there. So it is nice to go and travel and meet people and play your music for them and hear their music and bond with people on that level.”

Blackwater Mojo performs at 9 p.m. this Friday at Gene’s Beer Garden. They will also open for bluegrass band The Bath Salt Zombies at Mainstage Morgantown on Oct. 14. Both events are open to spectators of all ages.

Sidibe is both fan, star when it comes to ‘Empire’ LOS ANGELES (AP)‑ Lucious is alive but not so well, with a jail cell his current address. Cookie is doubling down on her battle for the family business.

And Chris Rock, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Marisa Tomei are along for the ride as “Empire” returns with the extravagant storytelling that made it an instant hit last season.

Becky Williams, who works for Lucious Lyon at Empire Entertainment, casts a jaundiced eye on those around her in Wednesday’s sophomore season debut (9 p.m. EDT, Fox).

“You’re rude, he’s crude and the both of you are socially unacceptable,” she declares of two young men.

Gabourey Sidibe, who plays Becky, gets why fans adore “Empire.” She loves watching the show as much as making it.

“The story line is so enticing and it keeps you guessing. It’s the drama of it all. And the music is amazing,” said Sidibe. She notes another bonus: “Everyone on the show is extremely beautiful or extremely handsome, so there are quite a few things that keep you coming.”

This season holds more over-thetop drama for all connected with Empire, the music and entertainment company built by Lucious Lyon and his ex-wife, Cookie (Terrence Howard and Emmy-nominated Taraji P. Henson). Their three sons are fighting for a share of the Lyon dream, as each sees it.

While an ALS misdiagnosis is no longer hanging over Lucious’ head, a prosecutor is intent on bringing down the former drug dealer and gets him jailed without bail.

Cookie is making a public show of

helping him - Sharpton, playing himself, refuses to get involved - but does she really want to spring Lucious?

She’s trying to finalize a hostile takeover of Empire Entertainment while her ex seeks to keep his grip on Empire from inside those prison walls.

Guest stars Rock (as a fierce prison inmate) and Tomei (as a double-crossing financier) are also in on the action.

For Sidibe’s character, the season promises more visibility. Becky has a promotion and, with the arrival of new character J-Poppa (Mo McRae of “Murder in the First” and “Sons of Anarchy”), a chance for love.

“My first soap opera romance,” said Sidibe, 32, who gained fame and an Oscar nomination for her debut project, “Precious,” the acclaimed 2009 film about an abused, illiterate young woman.

Sidibe, who was a college student planning to be a psychologist when she fell into acting, has found herself helping people in unexpected ways because of her career. She talked about that and “Empire” in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

AP: What’s ahead for Becky?

Sidibe: At the end of last season, Becky went from assistant to Lucious to a promotion, and she’s now the head of A&R (artists and repertoire).

She now has more power than she ever had. She’s not serving someone, she’s not taking phone calls or making appointments for other people. She has her own roster of clients that she’s dealing with. So it’s really fun.

AP: Are you and Becky alike?

Sidibe: I’m not as much a go-getter as Becky is. We are similar in the way that we’re smarter than people

think we are, but I think she works a lot harder than I do. And she’s much more serious than I am.

AP: You were 24 and studying to be a psychologist when “Precious” launched you unexpectedly into an acting career. How have you changed since then?

Sidibe: I’ve learned it doesn’t help to say, `No, I can’t do it.’ I’ve learned that fear is not useful. I’m surprised how many things I’ve bumped into over the last eight years that scared me to death and that, when I actually came across them, I didn’t even feel it.

It’s interesting how well I’ve been able to forget to have fear.

AP: You’ve become known as someone who refuses to be defined by limited standards for women’s looks. Do you feel a responsibility to act as a role model?

Sidibe: When I was a young girl, I didn’t see enough of myself on TV or in magazines. And representation is very important to everyone, but especially to girls like me, and people like me, whether it be because of my body, because of my race, because of my skin color, because of my awkwardness or where I come from.

While it makes me nervous to represent for anyone, I am extremely proud that some brown, round little girl sitting in front of the TV can look at me and that exists as well and that she has some value. That is the most important thing in the world. ...

What’s surprising is that it doesn’t always come from kids. I get it from the brown, round little girl but also the skinny white man. I think I am a round peg trying to fit into a square hole. And I think that’s what people relate to.

‘The Muppets’ return to TV; 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 blatant 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.

‘The Muppets ‘ is set to return to ABC this week.

“Characters over time, ple; why shouldn’t a mockwithout the boldness of umentary be another ideal the person who set them in vehicle?

When he brought the motion, soften,” Prady said.

“It’s a natural thing and it idea to Disney about 10 comes from the best place, years ago they didn’t share which is that these are be- his enthusiasm for their loved characters, let’s pro- newly purchased brand. tect them.”

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 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.”

WVU must fight to preserve local rivalries

BY DAVID STATMAN ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

Kicker Josh Lambert kicks the game-winning field goal in last season’s game against Maryland.

gan isn’t afraid to make mistakes,” Sunahara said.

“I think, with that being said, when you do make mistakes, you learn what you’re doing. But with Morgan, she challenges herself, and she does a nice job of trying to get better every day and applying what we are teaching her.”

Montgomery will be back in action with the Mountaineers at 6 p.m. this Friday, Sept. 25.

This will be their second home game of the season, playing against Texas, and is the opening to the conference games.

On Saturday, the West Virginia Mountaineers will take the field against one of their most constant rivals: Maryland, their border foe, a team they’ve played 51 times in their history.

Afterward, the two teams will not meet each other again until 2020. Although the rivalry hasn’t been much of a rivalry in recent years – the Mountaineers have taken eight out of their last nine meetings – it’s a rivalry that means something, and the absence of another of West Virginia’s local enemies from their upcoming schedule will be a hard pill for fans to swallow.

The Mountaineers are stepping up their quality of opposition in the coming years. West Virginia is set to face some prestigious Power 5 conference opponents in the near future, including BYU, Missouri, NC State and Tennessee.

But one of the greatest things about college football is tradition. Rivalries that have been played for over 100 years, still being fought harder than ever: Michigan vs. Ohio State, Texas vs. Oklahoma, Auburn vs. Alabama.

While the Mountaineers will challenge themselves on the field in the coming years, they’re generally playing teams with which they have very little history. In sports, college football especially, history is what binds generations together and makes it special, and WVU still doesn’t have that with its Big 12 opponents or most of its upcoming nonconference foes.

While winning a national championship should be valued above all else, keeping the history and tradition of the program alive also has to be one of West Virginia’s biggest priorities. Rivalries like the Backyard Brawl or West Virginia-Maryland simply cannot be allowed to fall by the wayside.

While West Virginia has a better chance at the national stage in the Big 12, it left their history behind in the Big East. When you look at WVU’s history with its traditional rivals, you see just how deep those competitions go: West Virginia first played Pitt in 1895, Virginia Tech in 1912 and Maryland in 1919, and, until recently, all those rivalries burned as hot as ever.

Thankfully, the next decade will see those rivalries begin again. The Backyard Brawl has been renewed to great fanfare, although fans of West Virginia and Pitt will have to wait seven years to see one of the most storied, hated rivalries in college football kick off again.

Although it’s unfortunate to see a hiatus in the West Virginia-Maryland rivalry, the two will at least meet again for a home-andhome showdown in 2020 and 2021. The Mountaineers haven’t faced Virginia Tech since 2005, but the Black Diamond Trophy will again be contested in 2017, 2021 and 2022.

Even Penn State, that hated hump the Mountaineers could never get over, is back on the ledger in the future. WVU has only won nine of their 59 meetings with the Nittany Lions – when West Virginia finally beat Penn State in 1984 after nearly 30 years without a win, the fans stormed the field and tore down the goalposts with nearly a minute still to play.

West Virginia and Penn State haven’t faced off since 1992, but those old memories will be revived with a home-and-home series in 2023 and 2024.

Waiting will be the hardest part, but it will be sweet to see West Virginia finally take the field again against its oldest enemies.

West Virginia prepares for Saturday’s game against Maryland by nicole curtin sports editor @nicolec_WVU

Once again, it’s game week for West Virginia’s football team, and the buzz around Mountaineer Field is noticeable.

“It seems to be pretty lively in here; it must be game week,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen in Tuesday’s press conference.

“We’re pretty eager to get going, finish our preparation and head into an electric weekend here in Morgantown. It seems like forever since we’ve had the Terps over here.”

The last two games of the series against Maryland have been played at College Park in 2014 and M&T Stadium in Balti-

more in 2013, which was a neutral site, but mostly dominated by Terrapin fans due to its location.

West Virginia leads the series 27-22-2, and the series record under Holgorsen is 3-1.

With the nearest Big 12 team located about 900 miles away at Iowa State, the series against Maryland has started somewhat of a “border rivalry.”

Fans and players alike get riled up for this game every year, and this season is the last time these two teams match up until they contract another series.

“I know it means a lot to our fan base and WVU,” Holgorsen said. “Saturday is going to be fun. I know it’s going to be an electric crowd. It’s going to be a live atmosphere.”

The Terps enter this game 2-1 after defeating the University of Richmond and University of South Florida and taking a loss to Bowling Green two weeks ago.

“It looks like they settled on their quarterback with Caleb Rowe. They have been moving the ball offensively pretty well now,” Holgorsen said.

Rowe had his first start since 2013 against USF and threw for 297 yards and four touchdowns. He became the first UMD quarterback to throw four touchdowns since Danny O’Brien in 2010.

In this week’s press conference at Maryland, head coach Randy Edsall said finishing the Terrapin’s non-conference schedule against West Virginia has

a big opportunity.

“There’s a history between the schools playing each other for a number of years. There are implications from recruiting, as well, so it’s a big game,” Edsall said in an interview with UMTerps.com. “The guys are looking forward to it. We know that they have an outstanding football team there, and we’re going to have to play well in order to win.”

Heading into this matchup, Holgorsen reflected on the 2013 game in Baltimore and how far the team has progressed since the loss. He said it was the worst defeat he has ever taken, and he is using the memory of that loss as motivation for preparing for this weekend.

In reference to the recruiting implications stated by coach Edsall, WVU has recruited several players over the past few years from the state of Maryland. Notably, players such as freshman quarterback William Crest and former receiver Tavon Austin graduated from Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School in Baltimore. Currently, there are only five players on West Virginia’s roster, including Crest, from Maryland, and the Terrapins have one player from the Mountain State.

The team will continue practice as usual this week in preparation for Saturday’s game, which kicks off at 3 p.m. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

CROSS COUNTRY

NICK HOLSTEIN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU cross country coach Sean Cleary talks to his runners before they compete in the Mountaineer Alumni Open.

Cleary brings Mountaineer spirit to cross country

BY JOEL NORMAN

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

West Virginia women’s cross country coach Sean Cleary was not born in Morgantown, but his history here makes him a proud Mountaineer.

In 1992, Cleary graduated from West Virginia University with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. Instead of leaving Morgantown upon graduation, Cleary accepted a graduate assistant coaching position for the cross country and track and field teams. He has stayed in Morgantown ever since.

“The head coach at the time asked me if I’d come

on and coach men’s cross country and distance in track,” Cleary said. “Since then, I haven’t looked back. I waited my turn to get on board, and to be able to stay with West Virginia is incredible.”

While a student at West Virginia, Cleary ran for the now-defunct men’s cross country team. In 1991, Cleary earned all-conference honors en route to the team winning the Atlantic 10 conference title.

Cleary wishes men could still run competitively at West Virginia.

“That was a tough situation for everyone involved,” Cleary said. “It was tough because a lot of students in-state lost their

hopes and dreams of running for West Virginia. It was a difficult task, but since that point, the women’s team has improved.”

Since the termination of men’s track and cross country in 2003, the women’s cross country team has made it to the NCAA Championships all but two years. Since Cleary became head coach in 2007, at least one Mountaineer has made it to NCAAs every year.

“My number one goal is to keep (the) West Virginia cross country team at the front of the national championship. Everywhere we go, West Virginia carries a long tradition,” Cleary said.

In order to keep his team at a championship level, Cleary stresses the importance of staying in shape, drinking water and focusing in class. To Cleary, academic success is equally as vital as success in races.

“When the young girls come into this program, they’re coming into a program with a team GPA of 3.465,” Cleary said. “When the kids get to campus, our academic advisers get to them the day they arrive, and the leaders on the team help them. My main motivation is to bring a young athlete in and set them up for the rest of their life.”

Unlike basketball and football, a replacement

cannot substitute in for an injured competitor. Once he knows how many competitors will run for a given race, Cleary seeks to keep all of them on the course for its entirety.

“Only two things stop us in this sport: Sickness and injury. What we’re trying to teach them is that every kid counts. If we lose our top runner, you’re dead because you can’t have someone make up the points,” Cleary said.

“On a Sunday morning, the girls run between 10-18 miles. They can’t be messing around on the night before that. They need to be taking care of their bodies.”

Cleary described him-

self as “hungry” for a national title. He is proud of the team’s success and the reputation he has built up at West Virginia. For 2015 and beyond, he is certain that competitors choosing to run on his team are making the right choice.

“Our biggest success has come from girls who never ever quit working,” Cleary said.

“The luxury that we have in Morgantown is that when the young guys and gals graduate, they graduate with the feeling that they won’t be overworked. This program has a reputation that we will take care of them.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

TENNIS

Rosiello looks to build upon hometown success by neel madhavan sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Freshman Abigail Rosiello is no stranger to success on the tennis court.

Ever since she started playing at a young age, she has proven to be a winner and a competitor.

Rosiello is considered something of a legend at Morgantown High School.

During her high school senior season, she won the AAA State Championship at the No. 1 singles position and led the Mohigans to their first state title in school history. She also earned all-tournament team honors at the 2015 DecoTurf Tennis Team Championships, a national invitational tournament for championship schools and players from across the country.

Before signing with the West Virginia University

women’s tennis team, Rosiello was the No. 2 tennis prospect out of the state of West Virginia, and she also ranked the 61st best high school senior in the entire USTA Mid-Atlantic region.

“I chose West Virginia because it provides me an opportunity to play the sport that I love at a high level,” Rosiello said. “WVU allows me to grow as a tennis player while working alongside awesome coaches and players. It also allows me to receive an excellent education that will prepare me for medical school.“ “WVU is a part of my hometown, so I won’t have to travel to see my family, and they will be there to support me every step of the way.”

Head coach Miha Lisac wants to make sure the state of West Virginia’s top tennis talents stay in-state and play for WVU. Rosiel-

lo’s fellow teammate and freshman Kirsten White was the No. 1 prospect in the state.

“Abby and Kirsten are two of the top players in the state of West Virginia, and we want to continue to have top-level talent play here,” Lisac said.

Rosiello had an up-anddown start to her collegiate career, as the Mountaineers participated in the William & Mary Tribe Invitational this weekend in Virginia.

In singles action, she lost both of her matches, 6-2, 7-6 to Olivia Gaudreault from the University of Maryland, and 6-2, 6-1 to Ingrid Gamarra Martins from the University of South Carolina.

But Rosiello fared better in doubles, as she and White defeated Luba Vazhenina and Nicole Berkman from the University of Pennsylvania, 7-5, but dropped their second

WVU rebounds with back-to-back wins over Lehigh

BY DJ DESKINS

SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

After a disappointing 0-2 start in its opening weekend, the West Virginia men’s D1 club hockey team grabbed two wins against Lehigh University in backto-back games.

West Virginia showed up offensively, scoring six

and seven goals against Lehigh, respectively. The Mountaineers allowed four scores against them on Friday but held their opponents to just one the following night.

WVU’s rebound wins over the weekend were crucial to avoiding a slump at the start of the season after losing to Alabama twice.

Head coach Kyle Rich-

ards attributes his team’s wins to playing its style and facing a very strong and physical team in Alabama to start the season.

“We got back to playing more of our style. The guys gained some confidence and were just more accustomed to the college game and got a much needed two wins,” Richards said.

“Alabama had much more

depth. They are accustomed to winning and (are) much more physical and strong. Overall they had higher end talent.”

The Mo u nt a i n e e r s found scoring from all over the ice and featured several career-first goals from players like David Polinski, Spencer Schutte, Frankie Gerbasi, Gustav Paerson and Alec Hnat.

However, the team’s top players of the weekend were Riley Horvath and Tyler Conaway.

Horvath, who had one goal against Alabama, notched his first career hattrick and added two assists Friday. Conaway added seven assists over the twogame series to make himself the team’s point leader through four games.

Richards started two

new goalies in net against Lehigh with Ben Zienty and Luke Thurston. Each goaltender tallied their first career starts and first career wins Friday and Saturday.

“Zienty had a solid debut Friday night and really showed a knack for playing the puck,” Richards said. “Saturday we played very good team defense, so Luke Thurston wasn’t tested too much but was there when we needed him. Overall, the goaltending was solid. Good to see guys pick up their first career wins.”

Despite a strong defensive game Saturday from the Mountaineers, Richards still feels his team needs to improve in that area.

He also said his team needs to find a way to be

more consistent, but that it’s something that comes with the growing pains of such a young team.

WVU will face a tough Oswego State team in another two-game series this weekend.

Richards said his main concern is his team’s unfamiliarity with their opponents, but he feels the Mountaineers should still compete at a high level.

The Mountaineers also face their first road test on Sunday against CHMA rival Mercyhurst University.

Richards said his team will be tested by playing each day this weekend, but he and his players take one game at a time and will continue to improve with each game. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

AP

Colts searching for answers after 0-2 start

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Andrew Luck delivered his statement with a disgusted glare.

Chuck Pagano resorted to a terse tone and sharp words.

Either way, both made their point clearly: It’s past time to correct the mistakes that are threatening to turn Indianapolis’ season into an early bust.

“You can’t turn the ball over. You’ve got to protect.

You’ve got to give him time, you’ve got to give him a clean pocket so he can step up and not get hit when he’s releasing the ball and we’ve got to get it fixed,” Pagano said after Monday’s 20-7 loss to the Jets.

“You can’t drive the length of the field, a 10-minute drive, and get to the 1-yard line and put the ball on the ground. You can’t do it. You’re not going to beat Zionsville (High School) doing that.”

Pagano’s not-so-subtle references were to Luck, Indy’s poor pass protection and Frank Gore, who gave away a scoring chance by fumbling into the Jets’ end zone.

Most of Indy’s troubles have been self-inflicted.

Luck has already thrown five interceptions and had six giveaways this season, running his league-leading total to 28 turnovers over the past 18 games. That’s not a new phenomenon. Luck came into this season with the league’s fourth-highest turnover total since 2012 perhaps because he was hit more than any other NFL quarterback in the league, too, according to STATS. Indy (0-2) also drew 11 penalties Monday, many of which brought back big plays and stalled drives.

They had a similar problem in the season opener at Buffalo.

It’s confounding twist for a team that expected to be one of the NFL’s highestscoring offenses. Instead, the Colts have more turnovers (eight) than touchdowns (three) and head into Week 3 trailing Tennessee (1-1) and Jacksonville (1-1) in the AFC South.

The Colts play at Tennessee on Sunday.

“You just got to take care of the football, make great

decisions and take care of the football. It’s not that hard, it’s not trigonometry,” Pagano said of Luck, who started the postgame news conference by blaming himself for the miscues.

The Colts’ franchise quarterback isn’t the only one having trouble, though.

Dropped passes, tipped balls, the lack of a consistent ground game and playing two of the NFL’s better defenses have put Indy at a disadvantage, too.

“It’s tough when we put ourselves in third-andlongs. That’s when it’s tough,” Luck said. “If we can stay ahead of the chains on first and second down and get third-and-manageables, then we’ve got a chance.

Third-and-long makes it hard.”

But the Colts have overcome other obstacles.

In 2012, they reached the playoffs after being dubbed the worst team in football and despite losing Pagano for 12 weeks as he battled leukemia.

Last season, Indy won the division title and reached the AFC championship game after starting 0-2.

This time, there’s a different feel.

With the offense out of sync, Luck off the mark, the defense lacking playmakers and even the usually reliable Adam Vinatieri 0 for 2 on field-goal attempts, fans booed heartily as things went awry against New York.

Behind the scenes, Pagano is in the final year of his contract and there’s a rumored rift between Pagano and general manager Ryan Grigson - something both men and team owner Jim Irsay deny.

And if this early stretch reminds longtime Colts fans of anything, it might be 2001 when Edgerrin James got hurt, the Colts missed the playoffs, coach Jim Mora and general manager Bill Polian couldn’t see eye-toeye and Mora screeched the infamous “Playoffs? Playoffs?” after critiquing Peyton Manning’s four-interception game against San Francisco.

Strangely, that also was Manning’s fourth season in the league.

But inside the locker

So our full year, same exact deal. Go on intention is to go back to the road and get beat, come work and do the same damn home on Monday night thing.”
