Gamers raise money for hospitals by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

When most think of video games, they think of procrastination and teenagers. Extra Life is changing that by hosting a 24-hour video game marathon to raise money for children’s hospitals nationwide.

This year, national Game Day is Nov. 7, and for the fifth year West Virginia University Children’s Hospital will be a community partner, raising money for child patients across the entire

state.

“Extra Life continues to transition into a 365 day celebration of the social impact gamers can have on their communities,” said Ashley Olczak, assistant director for Children’s Miracle Network at WVU Children’s Hospital. “Playing games is how Extra Lifers celebrate the kids’ lives that we’re saving and how they honor the ones who have lost their fight.”

Andrew Peggs, a participant and Captain of the WVU Children’s Extra Life team, is helping recruit others to join the

Fletcher’s Grove and Grand Ole’ Ditch to perform at 123 Pleasant

organization in an effort to raise more funds for WVU Children’s Hospital. Peggs said participating with the organization is an easy way for anyone to give back to the local community.

“The best part of Extra Life is that anyone can participate with a goal set at any level,” Peggs said.

“It doesn’t (matter) if you raise 20 dollars or a 1000, in the end it is for a great cause that is bringing children much needed items and support.”

Alex McCumbers, a new volunteer for WVU Children’s Extra Life

also shared her opinion on the organization’s effect on the local community.

Extra Life originated in Texas in 2008 as a way to honor a young girl named Victoria Enmon, who lost her battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia that year. Enmom’s disease inspired local “gamers” to send in video games and other gifts to help keep Tori’s spirits up during her fight with cancer.

Extra Life continued the fight against cancer by hosting a 24-hour video game marathon,

where the entirety of the money raised went to help children like Enmon at a Children’s Miracle Network hospital in Texas.

Thousands of gamers, more than 100 websites, and more than 12,000 donors later, Extra Life decided to partner with the Children’s Miracle Network, where they now serve children all across the United States and in Canada.

The goal of this partnership was to expand Extra Life so volunteers could help children in their own communities.

As of August 2015, there are more than 19,000 volunteers who have already registered for this year’s event, according to Olczac.

Participants will spend the 24-hour marathon playing video games, board games, roleplaying games and other activities.

A l l m o n e y ra i s e d from the marathon will be donated to the children at WVU Children’s Hospital.

Fletcher’s Grove, a bluegrass band based out of Morgantown.

By Woody Pond A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

If you’re getting tired of the usual bar scene and soundtracks, listen to the modern bluegrass fusion of Fletcher’s Grove and Grand Ole’ Ditch tonight at 123 Pleasant Street. The downtown venue has a lot of weekly music traffic, and Friday nights are often the biggest shows. This week proves to be no different with the two very exciting live performers taking the stage and kicking off the night around 9 P.M. Both bands have eastern roots—Fletcher’s Grove is from home base Morgantown, while Grand Ole’ Ditch hails from Cumberland, Maryland.

Fletcher’s Grove has been playing and touring around the area and country since their debut album in 2010. Entitled “All the Way Home,” the album combines funk, jazz, rock n’ roll and bluegrass to make a unique and indescribable sound. This individuality has fueled the growth of the five-piece in the eastern music scene, as well as their extremely

lively and entertaining performances that include dual guitar solos, improvisational extended jams and a diverse assortment of instruments.

Being Morgantown is their hometown, Fletcher’s Grove has performed at 123 multiple times prior to tonight’s show. Kelsie Cannon, an employee and bartender at 123 Pleasant, has had the opportunity to watch the band play before and had nothing but good things to say about the band.

“Those guys are extremely fun to watch, I’ve seen them three times, and no show is ever the same.

Sometimes they will solo for like five minutes,” Cannon said.

Grand Ole’ Ditch is a progressive bluegrass band, composed of seven members. The band’s biggest focus is giving a new sound to an old style of music.

The band gets its name from the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, which is nicknamed the Grand Old Ditch, which was a very important water channel used

Survey shows West Virginia residents support the legalization of marijuana by jake jarvis city editor @newsroomjake

Nearly 95 percent of West Virginians support legalizing medical marijuana, and nearly 93 percent support marijuana for recreation for people 21 and older, according to a recent survey from the West Virginia chapter National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Despite this support, West Virginia is one of the 22 states across the nation which completely criminalizes marijuana use.

If you consider cannabidiol oils, 40 states permit some sort of cannabis use.

“Every contiguous state around West Virginia has more progressive cannabis legislation than we do,” said Jesse Johnson, executive director of the state chapter.

“And all that serves to do is create a black hole for a black market right in the heart of West Virginia.”

Johnson, who was the Mountain Party’s nominee for governor in 2012, leads the state chapter of an organization that actively promotes progressive marijuana laws.

The chapter recently conducted a survey of 1,500 West Virginians to see how they felt about the state’s marijuana laws. Johnson and others from the organization hope the results of the survey persuade lawmakers in the upcoming legislative session to pass a bipartisan bill that at least decriminalizes marijuana possession.

Of the 1,500 people to take the survey, about 37 percent identified as democrats, 20 percent as republicans and 38 percent as independents, and 42 percent of re-

In and around Morgantown, people still feel the sting of laws criminalizing marijuana.

Since move-in day, 15 students have been cited by University Police for possession of marijuana, according to UPD’s crime log. On numerous other occasions, UPD was called to West Virginia University residence halls after receiving reports of a marijuana smell.

Jeramine Fleming, 30, was arrested at his home in Mannington, a city in Marion County about 45 minutes away from Morgantown, for growing marijuana after police found 11 different plants growing there, police said.

On-air shooter threatened to make ‘headlines,’ showed anger ROANOKE, Va. (AP)—On the day he was fired from a Virginia TV station, Vester Flanagan pressed a wooden cross into his boss’ hand as two police officers walked him to the door. “You’ll need this,” he said.

More than two years later, Flanagan - fulfilling a threat to put his conflict with coworkers into “the headlines” - gunned down two station employees during a live morning broadcast, one

of them a cameraman who had filmed his firing.

But as station employees struggled Thursday to explain the events that framed Flanagan’s anger, others who had run across the gunman in the time since he lost his job at WDBJ-TV described a man whose hair-triggered temper was increasingly set off by slights that were more often imagined than real.

At a bar in Roanoke, the manager recalled Flanagan was so incensed when no one thanked him as he left that he sent a nearly 20-page letter, lambasting employees’ behavior.

As Flanagan encountered

repeated tensions with others around him, he described himself as the aggrieved and unappreciated victim.

“How heartless can you be? My entire life was disrupted after moving clear across the country for a job only to have my dream turn into a nightmare,” Flanagan wrote in a letter to a judge filed as part of his 2013 lawsuit against the television station. “Your Honor, I am not the monster here.”

The lawsuit was dismissed in July 2014. But in recent weeks, Flanagan laid careful plans for retribution. He contacted ABC News about what he claimed was a story tip and filled his Facebook page with photos and video montages seemingly designed to introduce himself to a larger audience.

On Wednesday, Flanagan killed 24-year-old Alison Parker, a reporter for WDBJ, and cameraman

Obama to people of Orleans: ‘You inspire me, and America’

ap

President Barack Obama greets residents in the the Tremé neighborhood in New Orleans, Thursday, Aug. 27, 2015, for the 10th anniversary since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Tremé is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in America, which borders the French Quarter just north of Downtown.

NEW ORLEANS (AP)— Visiting residents on tidy porch stoops and sampling the fried chicken at a corner restaurant, President Barack Obama held out the people of New Orleans on Thursday as an extraordinary example of renewal and resilience 10 years after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

“There’s something in you guys that is just irrepressible,” Obama told hundreds of residents assembled at a bustling new community center in an area of the Lower 9th Ward that was once under 17 feet of water. “The people of New Orleans didn’t just inspire me, you inspired all of America.”

He held out the city’s comeback as a metaphor for what’s happening all across a nation that has moved from economic crisis to higher ground.

“Look at what’s happened here,” he declared,

speaking of a transformed American city that was once “dark and underwater.”

Still, Obama acknowledged that much remains to be done. And after walking door to door in the historic Treme section of a city reborn from tragedy, he cautioned that “just because the housing is nice doesn’t mean our job is done.”

Areas of the city still suffer from high poverty, he said, and young people still take the wrong path.

There is more to be done to confront “structural inequities that existed long before the storm happened,” he added.

In his remarks at the community center, Obama blended the same themes of resilience and renewal that he drew from encounters with the sturdy residents he met along Magic Street and at other locations.

sues they are passionate about.”

Johnson said WVU will soon have its own chapter of NORML, but he wasn’t ready Thursday to give any more details about the organization.

Johnson led a legislative team to pass a law decriminalizing marijuana or allowing it for medical use.

Colleagues of the journalists shot to death returned to their morning show Thursday, in a broadcast that opened with images of Parker and Ward.

“We come to you with heavy hearts. Two of our own were shot during a live shot yesterday morning,” said Kim McBroom, the anchor whose open-mouthed shock was seen around the world Wednesday after Ward’s camera recorded the attack.

Later, during an afternoon news conference, the station’s general manager, Jeffrey Marks, recalled a series of problems with Flanagan while he worked at WDBJ from March 2012 to February 2013. Flanagan accused a news photographer of trespassing on private property. He confronted an anchor over a story and attempted to reach the company’s CEO to complain. He filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as the lawsuit.

Flanagan’s joking and smiling one minute could turn to anger in the next, a former colleague, Justin McLeod, said in an interview.

Once, seemingly out of nowhere, Flanagan told a

Leah Chase, the 92-yearold proprietor of Dooky Chase’s Restaurant, was one of those to chat with Obama. She pronounced herself a fan of the man, saying he’d handled “a rough road.”

Chase - who’s known as the “Queen of Creole Cuisine” - said, “That’s all you have to do: handle what’s handed to you,” voicing what could be a credo for the city.

Obama was clearly energized by his visits, at one point breaking into a song from “The Jeffersons” sitcom after meeting a young woman who calls herself “Ouisie.” He stopped for fried chicken at Willie Mae’s Scotch House, and pronounced the resulting grease stain on his suit a good indication that he’d enjoyed his stay in the city.

He held out the community center as “an example of what is possible when, in the face of traging again this year to pass a law.

In February, Senators Mitch Carmichael, DJackson, Jeff Kessler, DMonongalia, and Daniel Hall, R-Wyoming introduced a bill to legalize medical marijuana.

photographer that he knew the man didn’t like him because he was gay. The photographer responded by telling Flanagan that he had not even known, McLeod said.

But there was no inkling then or since of what was to come, Marks said. Former co-workers, surprised that he stayed in town after losing his job, passed him from time to time. They called them “Bryce sightings,” referring to Flanagan’s on-air name, McLeod said.

But none had any conversation with him, let alone confrontations.

“We are still at a loss to figure out what happened to him in those 2 1/2 years,” Marks said.

Others who crossed paths with Flanagan during that time, though, recalled a man who took offense easily.

When Flanagan landed a job at a UnitedHealthcare call center in Roanoke after he was fired, he was usually boisterous and intense, notable for his loud laughter. So Michelle Kibodeaux, who worked with Flanagan, took note one day when he seemed quiet.

“I told him, `You’re being quiet today. The shoe’s on the other foot.’ He said, `You don’t know me well enough to judge me.’”

edy and in the face of hardship, good people come together to lend a hand and, brick by brick, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, you build a better future.”

“And that more than any other reason is why I’ve come back here today,” he said.

Obama was a new U.S. senator when Katrina’s powerful winds and driving rain bore down on Louisiana on Aug. 29, 2005.

The storm caused major damage to the Gulf Coast from Texas to central Florida while powering a storm surge that breached the system of levees meant to protect New Orleans from flooding.

Nearly 2,000 people died, most in New Orleans.

Video of residents seeking refuge on rooftops, inside the Superdome and at the convention center dominated news coverage as Katrina came to symbolize government failure at ev-

ery level.

In his speech, Obama said Katrina helped expose inequalities that long plagued New Orleans and left too many people, especially minorities, without good jobs, affordable health care or decent housing and too many kids growing up in the midst of violent crime and attending inefficient schools.

The setting of his address at the community center spoke to the stark contrasts that remain.

It sits near nicely renovated homes but also next to a boarded-up wooden house. The area is filled with vacant lots where houses used to stand, so overgrown that local residents sometimes refer to it as the wilderness and worry about snakes hiding in the grass.

Colette Pichon Battle, executive director of Gulf Coast Center for Law & Policy, cautioned against

slapping too happy a face on New Orleans, saying “rebuilding since the storm favors privileged private enterprise and this illusion of recovery is not progress.”

City residents, too, spoke of uneven recovery.

“I think we have a long way to go,” said Lisa Ross, 52, an appraiser. She said areas frequented by tourists have recovered tremendously but many n e i g h b o r h o o d s hav e struggled.

Harold Washington, 54, a military retiree studying at Tulane, said the city is “better than it was.” But he was sad that children are now bused all over town rather than attending neighborhood schools.

Obama spoke hopefully of coming back to New Orleans after his presidency - when he can go to Mardi Gras and sample other delights.

“Right now,” he said, “I just go to meetings.”

for shipping coal in the early 20th century. Bluegrass music described the soul of the people of western Maryland at this time, and Grand Ole’ Ditch wants to give that soul a more modern voice.

The group made music together since 2012 and has been featured in several regional festivals and concerts, winning awards

along the way. Grand Ole’ Ditch has been touring all over the area, alone and also opening up for bigger artists such as Larry Keel & Natural Bridge and The Hackensaw Boys.

Senior communications student Kathy Sherman is from the Cumberland area, and saw the band back in her hometown and is pleasantly surprised to hear they will perform in Morgantown.

“I saw Grand Ole’ Ditch two years ago and thought that was the last I had heard

of them. It’s awesome they’re getting to play in other states, especially here at my school,” Sherman said.

Fletcher’s Grove and Grand Ole’ Ditch will play in Morgantown for one night only—Friday, Aug. 28 at 123 Pleasant Street. The show is for ages 18 and up, and tickets are around eight to 10 dollars at the door. For more information or to purchase tickets online, visit http://123pleasantstreet. com.

Kibodeaux said when she turned to walk away, Flanagan tried to grab her by the shoulder, but she ducked under his hand.

“He said, `Don’t you walk away from me. Don’t you turn your back on me,’” she recalled.

Flanagan told her never to speak to him again and she steered clear.

Three or four months ago, Flanagan’s temper was set off again by a visit to Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint in downtown Roanoke. Afterward, general manager Heather Fay told The Associated Press, she received a 15- to 20-page letter from Flanagan criticizing the staff for telling customers to “have a nice day” instead of “thank you.”

“You could tell he was really angry,” Fay said. “It was bizarre, for sure.”

Fay, who said she threw the letter out shortly after receiving it, wrote down Flanagan’s name and a general description of his letter in her manager’s notebook. While she had never received anything like it before, she said there was no indication the letter’s author was contemplating a crime.

“I thought the guy had a lot of time on his hands,” Fay said.

Don Shafer, who hired Flanagan at a Florida television station in 1999, recalled that he was a good reporter and “clever, funny guy” but he had conflicts with his co-workers.

“Especially the floor crew, some of the reporters, some of the photographers in the field, to the point where he was threatening people,” said Shafer, now the news director with XETV in San Diego.

“Had some physical confrontations with a couple of people, and at one point became such a distraction that we finally had to terminate him.”

Flanagan’s conflicts with others in recent years seemed to contradict the memory of some who recalled him as an outgoing student in Oakland, California, who was chosen junior prince at Skyline High School’s homecoming or as a classmate at San Francisco State University who relished being in the spotlight during group presentations.

“He was such a nice guy, just a soft spoken, well dressed, good looking guy.

He never had any problems, no fights, nothing like that,” said a high school classmate, Chris Dobbins, now an Oakland attorney.

A cousin, Guynell Smith,

69, who was stopping by Flanagan’s father’s home in Vallejo, California, told reporters that the family was unaware of any troubles. “He was just a normal kid,” she said. “We knew Vester a different way.”

But others who met Flanagan as he traced a career between TV stations and other employers in California, Florida, North Carolina and elsewhere recalled more troubling memories.

At WTWC-TV in Tallahassee, Florida, where Flanagan worked in 1999 and 2000, he berated two female employees who pointed out mistakes in his reporting, bringing them to tears, said a former colleague, Dave Leval.

One woman’s husband, a law enforcement officer, “threatened to come in and beat the stuffing out of the guy if he talked to her that way again,” said Leval, now a sports reporter and anchor at KTVA in Anchorage, Alaska.

Despite Flanagan’s turbulent stint in Tallahassee, Leval said he was shocked when he heard the name mentioned as the Virginia shooter.

“He could have done this to us,” Leval said.

Fresh foods at WVU Farmers Market caitlin Worrell a&e editor @dailyathenaeum

Students packed the sidewalks across from the Mountainlair in search of wholesome local produce and delicious food yesterday, as part of WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health’s campus Farmers Market. Gathering a handful of local vendors, the weekly market made its official debut to students eager to be a little greener.

The market, which attracts both students and staff, delivers a farm-totable experience with the convenience of never leaving the Downtown campus. Happening every Thursday beside Woodburn Circle, the Farmers Market prides itself on providing high-quality, organic produce at low prices.

If you’re feeling extra hungry, there are even made-to-order food options such as local teas and coffee from Mockingbird Hill, and an assortment of tacos from Garcia’s Latin Market.

Vendors from across the region had a presence at the mini-market, including the Mountain People’s Co-op and the West Virginia University Organic Farm.

One student, Maddie Gazzerro, stopped by the market for the first time on Thursday after noticing the bustling crowd and signs.

“I’ve seen WELLWVU set up in front of the Lair before, but I’ve never actually seen the Farmers Market,” said Gazzerro, a senior strategic communications

student. “There’re a lot of different options – you can go to Kroger and other grocery stores like that, but I don’t know of any local fresh places. I guess I’m learning today.”

The WELLWVU Farmers Market gave Gazzerro the opportunity to familiarize herself with the local growing community and sample some of their freshest picks. Thursday’s gathering even sparked her to be more aware of her local economy.

“I work here locally and wish more businesses would get involved this way. I think this is really good,” Gazzerro said. “A lot of students are here.

It’s pretty popular, obviously. And I’d like to see them come back again.”

The reception of the Farmers Market is just as popular with students as it is with local vendors.

Mockingbird Hill, a Morgantown farm and longtime partner of WELLWVU, is excited to make an appearance on campus again.

“We would sell at the Ruby Market that happens on Wednesdays,” said Neha Lal of Mockingbird Farm. “When WELLWVU was looking for vendors that carry healthy foods and are willing to sell in small, single quantities for students they approached us and said they liked our granola and our healthy foods and so we started coming here. This is actually our third year at this market.”

It’s the bustling crowd and positive feedback from students that keeps pro-

“Students are very delighted,” Lal said. “They are delighted to have local vendors and local farmers represented. They have been extremely supportive – we’ve gotten high-fives and kudos all around. They really have enjoyed everything they have tasted.”

Lal, along with her husband Marlin Dehoff, try to diversify their selection by offering a range of homemade goods and beverages, in addition to their locally grown produce.

“They love our granola and baked goods,” Lal said. “They love that we do no sugar added fruit

preserves and iced teas.

For example, we have a peach iced tea that is only peaches and tea.”

Like WELLWVU, Mockingbird Hill wants students to embrace healthier options by choosing foods that are clean and free of additives and sugars.

“People love the real flavor of things with fruit and realize how tasty they are without additional sugar,” Lal said.

The WELLWVU Farmers Market is held every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. across from the Mountainlair this semester. For more information, visit http://well.wvu.edu. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

student poll

Women of WVU, do you like it when guys wear cargo shorts?

This week students were polled on the age-old question: Does anybody really like cargo shorts?

Short answer: yes, a few people do. However, most do not.

Yesterday 100 women were polled in the Mountainlair on their opinion of guys in cargo shorts.

For those who aren’t aware, cargo shorts are shorts that hang below the knee and have many pockets running down the sides.

In certain situations, they make sense. For example, if one finds themselves hiking, or outdoors in some way, the extra pockets serve a utilitarian function. Wearing them around town is where the problem seems to lie, according to a lot of women.

Some girls said that

cargo shorts looked outdated. Often referencing the style as something that was popular in middle school, but no longer.

Others did not like the baggy and “shapeless” look the shorts would give guys who wore them.

Twenty-six percent of women were neutral toward cargo shorts. Members of this group said the type of shorts a guy wears doesn’t really affect their opinion of them.

A minority of women polled liked cargo shorts on guys. None elaborated why.

The take away for men here is that it is a safe bet to ditch the pocket-laden apparel. While 49 percent of women like them or do not care, the majority is venomously opposed to the style.

Cellar gets a name change, becomes The Annex DC LLC owns two businesses on High Street, one above the other, and one recently changed its name.

Cellar, previously Chaser’s, is now called The Annex.

“For more entertainment purposes, they have The Annex,” said T.J. Morgan, the general manager of Jameson’s.

“It’s younger college students having a good time.”

But don’t worry, Jameson’s isn’t changing its name or location.

“We like to focus on Jameson’s because it’s not upperscale, but it’s a little classier for Morgantown,” Morgan said.

“It’s a fun place for everyone to come to.”

The two businesses normally have separate events, but in some instances, overflow goes downstairs. For example, West Virginia University’s men’s and women’s rugby teams had a party last spring that moved from upper to lower sim-

ply because there’s more room.

However, that doesn’t mean Jameson’s doesn’t have its own thing going on.

Morgan said he’s trying to secure nationally ranked alternative band Highly Suspect to come and play sometime at the end of September or the beginning of October.

At 8 p.m. this Saturday, Monika Herzig and her band is playing at Jameson’s through the West Virginia Jazz Society.

The Annex has various drink specials throughout the week and is open Wednesday through Friday from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. and Saturday from 9 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.

Jameson’s is open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.

editorial

Fair treatment for troop leaders Religious freedom has been a heavy topic of discussion in recent months.

A restaurant and bakery fighting for the right to refuse to cater gay weddings made the news last April, and a county clerk in Kentucky has denied marriage licenses to gay couples multiple times on the grounds of going against her religious beliefs. Even Hobby Lobby has come under scrutiny for refusing to provide certain types of birth control to its employees, which brought the question of whether a company should be allowed to force religious principles onto its employees all the way to the Supreme Court.

While religion and liberalism may always seem

The Boy Scouts of America now allow for gay troop leaders to mentor scouts. to be at odds with one another, some good news exists: After last month’s ruling to allow gay troop leaders in the Boy Scouts

of America, the Church of Mormon has decided, after much deliberation, to continue its support in backing the organization.

businessinsider.com

The Church is the largest source of funding for the BSA, and its withdrawal would have devastated troops across the country.

Openly gay scouts have been allowed in the BSA since January 2014, but gay troop leaders were thought to have ties to molestation and pedophilia by some members of the Christian faith and were excluded from leadership positions. However, this viewpoint is highly flawed and misunderstands sexual identity and expression to a damaging extreme.

This editorial board doesn’t believe one’s sexuality negatively affects leadership ability, nor does it influence an individual’s moral standards. All troop leaders go through the same leadership training, so gay troop leaders have the same knowledge as straight

leaders.

They may also act as an available resource for younger boys struggling with their own sexuality questions and issues.

According to theTrevorProject.org, teens on the LGBT spectrum are four times more likely to commit suicide than straight teens, and having a mentor who can relate and provide guidance at such a critical time period may help lower that statistic.

Gay troop leaders’ presence in Boy Scout troops across the nation will hopefully contribute to creating a more accepting and tolerant generation in the future. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Double standards are unfair, create inequality for all shelby bradford columnist @ShelbyBradfordDa

Double standards are far too commonplace in American society, as they only serve to limit particular groups or individuals. A double standard is any principle applied to two or more groups in unequal ways. One of the most common double standards is how men and women are judged in regard to sexual activity.

Education is another institution where the double standards between men and women are high. However, this principle exists anywhere where two groups of people are not held to the same criteria.

Sex is one of the most controversial topics in America, and it becomes the source of a double standard when others judge which gender is engaging in intercourse as well as when. As early as high school, males who engage in sexual activity are often viewed as more mature or desirable if they have multiple sexual partners.

On the other hand, females who are sexually active at this age have negative connotations associated with their behavior. What complicates this double standard even more is how its reverse works: In this case, non-sexually active males are considered less masculine than their sexually active peers, while fe-

males who refrain from sexual behavior are labeled as prudish.

Movies from all eras have capitalized on both types of these double standards heavily, and the movie “Easy A” and scenes from “The Breakfast Club” come to mind. They are detrimental to adolescents’ self-esteem and create pressure by peers to engage in sex prematurely, which can lead to higher rates of teen pregnancy and sexually-transmitted diseases.

Education is another frequent source of double standards between males and females. Males are generally encouraged by their families to seek higher education, while females in some parts of the country are still discouraged from it so they can start families earlier.

Though this double standard is still present, its popularity is waning as more women decide to pursue post-secondary education. Despite this development, double standards are still common in fields the students choose once in school. Careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) are still predominantly held by males, and there is still a fair amount of social stigma surrounding males who pursue degrees in the liberal or creative arts.

Double standards are so prevalent in American culture they are almost ac-

The fight for equality doesn’t end with legislation, as social stigma is much harder to battle. cepted as a normal part of society, despite their discriminatory nature. They exist not only between men and women, but also between social classes and racial and ethnic groups.

They exist in the workplace, the home and in the courts.

There is a double standard in almost every case where

an unequal majority and minority exists.

This judgmental criticism is inhibiting the progress of America as a nation by limiting its citizens’ capabilities. However, erasing its effects is becoming a possibility. Programs in higher education have enabled many students to re-

ceive acceptance into colleges and degree programs where their demographic is under-represented.

Other double standards, like those relating to views on sex, appearance and racial integration, can only be removed through proper education to reverse the stigmas associated with

many minority groups.

Overall, they only limit individuals’ success. America needs to stop capitalizing on double standards’ existence and fueling their unfound legitimacy so the livelihood of all citizens can be improved. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Giving credit where due: Appreciating adjunct professors in college timothy hayes

Ohio state university

Take a moment to consider who is teaching you.

He might be a professor straight from finishing his dissertation, another undergrad reading one chapter ahead in the book, or a 60-something professor who still can’t figure out how to turn on a projector.

For most of you, they are just another teacher in a long stream of educators from preschool to now. You may have a passing knowledge about them or be strongly acquainted, but how much do you know (or care for that matter) about their working conditions or wages? Probably, surprisingly little.

American professors across the country are perhaps one of the most underrated and under appreciated groups of workers in the world. They work 50 hour, even 70 hour work weeks, for abysmal pay with no benefits, and no job security. That means no year to year employment guaranteed, no sick leave, no retirement assistance, and no healthcare of any kind.

Surprisingly, most students who are in close re-

DA

lation to professors constantly have little to no understanding of how bad their educators’ workplace environment actually is.

Consider what kind of rigors you have to go through to get your degree.

Doubtless you applied to a competitive university and were accepted on certain terms and conditions along with between 300 and 30,000 other students.

You will then, have completed or are currently completing four to five years at that institution, again under certain terms and conditions. You then graduate with a degree ready to tackle fulltime employment.

Now let’s look at what professors go through. On top of the above, they will then apply to a competitive graduate program at an institution, sometimes the same school, and pursue a Master’s degree in a field for two to four years alongside 100-10,000 other students.

During this time, they may be required to teach several courses, take their own, and pass, on top of a potential outside job.

All the while, graduate students must research, write and develop a thesis paper to be reviewed, defended and finally

published.

Now, that professor-tobe must be invited or apply to a PhD program that is frequently not at their undergraduate or graduate school. There, the professor to be will do research or assist, teach, and write another paper, the doctoral thesis or dissertation.

They will be at that institute for two to four years again. Finally, if they pass a series of grueling examinations by current professors, they will be awarded their PhD. After all these years of hard work, dedication, and profound contributions to their field, what can these new professors expect? Not much.

Usually in American universities, new professors enter as temporary, contractual educators who may have access to the university’s enormous resources, but are paid a pittance compared to senior professors. They enter as adjunct professors, move up to assistant, then tenure-track, and finally tenured or full professors if they are very fortunate.

Full professors cannot be fired on academic grounds and as such have fewer restrictions on their job whereas any professor not tenure-track or tenured is constantly under

pressure to perform.

Adjunct profess ors make up an alarming 41.5 percent of the nation’s professors according to the U.S. Department of Education in a 2011 survey, while tenure track and tenured are less than a quarter of the total faculty. The rest is made up of full-time, non-tenured or visiting professors and ecturers.

However, inter view and research with humans working in these environments has led to higher conclusions of up to 75 or 80 percent of the faculty being contingent.

This disparity in reported numbers and personnel may reflect a difference of language used in reporting number by different groups.

Assistant or adjunct professors are expected to teach and do their relevant research like full professors, but if they have a class that does not do well or they receive very poor student reviews, they can be let go at the end of their very short, sometimes one-semester contract.

They are reviewed periodically to assess their performance and kept or fired based on student reviews, grades, contributions to research, and other crite-

ria. While this is true for some universities, it is not always true. Some universities such as Tufts University publish how departments go about renewals.

Adjunct professors also do not get much if any say in how a department is run. The system is very strongly oligarchical and hierarchical. This means that if changes are being made that will affect a majority of the faculty, that majority cannot do much about it.

Pay differences in adjunct and tenured professors are astronomical; there is approximately a $100,000 income gap. Because adjunct professors have been historically part-time employees, they receive less pay for work they do.

This used to be a good position for part-time professors who might be a professional in their field and teach on the side. I personally know an adjunct professor who teaches on the side, home schools her children, and is otherwise a stay-at-home mom.

While this may be beneficial to those specific environments, most adjunct professors have to take several appointments at several universities to make ends meet since ad-

junct earnings have not risen in tandem with inflation since the 1970s.

Currently, adjunct professors are fighting to get recognition and change these problems. With a saturated job market, getting and keeping an appointment at a university is extremely difficult. Adjunct professors are joining forces in unions, forming together to force universities to provide at least higher pay, if not benefits, and a more democratic system in universities.

The Service Employees International, famous for organizing the fast-food industry walkout to demand a doubling of the federal minimum wage, is also trying to help adjunct professors. They demand approximately $15,000 per course taught (compared to the $2000-$2700 average), benefits like sick leave, and healthcare.

February 28 is National Adjunct Walkout Day, an event organized by professors to help students recognize the problem to force educators to try and function for one day without a majority of their educators. This event is part of a bigger National Adjunct Awareness Week to expose the problem.

Virginia shootings make for tough media decisions NEW YORK (AP)—In an era when anyone can go online and find video of terrorist beheadings, police shootings and other carnage, major news organizations applied their own standards to coverage of this week's killing of a TV news crew in Virginia and showed only carefully selected portions of the footage.

They were difficult newsroom decisions, informed by competitive pressures, questions of newsworthiness and taste, and an understanding that for all the talk about the great convergence of media, a fundamental difference still exists between TV and the Internet.

"We went back and forth on this - whether to run it, not run it, or just use frame grabs," said Al Ortiz, CBS vice president of standards and practices. "It's not a decision you make lightly. An argument was made that we were doing the gunman's work for him. But the decision we came around to was that it was editorially important to show how methodical, planned and deliberate this was. That's the only reason we used it."

The killings of WDBJ reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward were literally a made-fortelevision moment. They were shot to death on live TV by a gunman who also recorded the attack and posted his video on social

media. The TV station's footage and the gunman's were watched online in full by countless numbers of people around the globe as news executives decided what to show.

Before the shooting was three hours old, CNN began showing WDBJ's footage of Parker conducting an interview and then trying to scramble away as gunfire erupted. The network warned viewers of its graphic nature and promised not to air it more than once an hour. CNN did not air the gunman's own video.

Some news organizations, like CBS and NBC, ran a portion of the WDBJ video but did not use audio of the shooting and screaming. ABC froze the video before the shooting began but aired audio of the attack. CBS showed part of the gunman's footage but stopped it before the first shot, Ortiz said.

Fox News used no video or audio of the event during daytime hours but, after 6 p.m., used a combination of video before the attack, still photos and audio. NBC and MSNBC froze the video and audio before the attack, but a gunshot could be heard on its websites.

The differences in the way TV and the Internet handled the material are important, executives said: People online are making conscious choices about what to see, while TV view-

ers can be taken by surprise.

"You don't know who's in the room," said former CBS News President Andrew Heyward, now a consultant to media companies.

"You don't know the ages of the people watching. So there's always been a very high standard of restraint."

The Associated Press provided to the public a version of the gunman's video that froze when the shooting began, but continued with audio. For broadcast subscribers, the AP supplied complete version through a closed-circuit channel, allowing TV stations to edit it to their own standards, said Tom Kent, AP's standards editor.

"The video was newsworthy and key to understanding the story," he said.

Many journalists argue that their job is to be a pipeline of news to the public, not a filter. Marcy McGinnis, a former news executive at CBS and Al Jazeera America, said she wonders if the public reaction to events like the Connecticut school shooting would have been different if pictures had been more readily available.

"Is it good that nobody ever saw it, or is it bad that nobody ever saw it?" she said. "Would something more have been done if people had seen the carnage?"

But McGinnis said news organizations aren't YouTube, and people expect

Reporter Alison Parker interviews a Franklin County resident before being shot on live air. professionals to weigh issues of taste along with the need to tell stories.

"I can see people arguing for showing more things on TV if it's available everywhere else," she said, adding: "I still don't think I would show somebody getting shot or show the face of a dead person."

Broadcasters also are constrained by government licensing of the airwaves, Heyward noted. Too many complaints from the public aren't good. In fact, professional editing is a way for networks to distinguish themselves from online outlets, he said.

Meanwhile, a newspaper front page Thursday proved that still photography retains the capacity to shock.

The New York Daily News ran the headline "Executed on Live TV" with three pictures of Parker from the point of view of the gunman. One had a gun raised and pointed at her, the other showed the moment the gun went off, and the third illustrated her horrified face when she saw what was happening.

"I hate that I just saw NY Daily News cover," tweeted Jeff Darlington, a reporter for the NFL Network. "What a repulsive decision. I went

the whole day managing to avoid any image of it. Then that."

Daily News spokeswoman Anne Muscarella said the decision wasn't made lightly and noted the images were widely circulated online.

"We feel passionately about strengthening gun control, imploring politicians to improve mental health services and highlighting the extraordinary scale of daily gun violence," she said. "That is why we published the images - to convey the true scale of what happened in Roanoke."

David Oyelowo talks Emmy nomination after Oscar snub, future plans NEW YORK (AP—David Oyelowo, who played the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the film "Selma," says there's an interesting upside to not getting an Oscar nomination.

"In many ways I think we probably got more attention for not being nominated," he said in a recent interview. "I've actually found that people were so disgruntled by some of the love that `Selma' didn't get with certain award shows that it makes their love for it even more vehement. When they hug me, they hug me real tight, you know?"

Certain award show snubs aside, Oyelowo is nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for his performance in the HBO TV movie "Nightingale," where he plays a man unraveling after committing a heinous act off-screen.

Next, he co-stars with Kate Mara in "Captive," opening Sept. 18. It's based

on the 2005 true crime story of Brian Nichols, a killer who takes a young waitress hostage and the two connect on a spiritual level.

Oyelowo told The Associated Press about his work, being "a goofball" and what kind of film he'd love to do next.

AP: How has your career changed since "Selma"?

Oyelowo: My career kind of changed from the moment it was announced that I may be playing Dr King. That was in 2010. ...

Until then, I was a British actor ... desperately trying to get my foot in the door and when Lee Daniels, who was the director attached at that time, chose me to play him I think there was a lot of head-scratching as to why this British dude who we had not seen much work from (got the part.) But, Hollywood is a sort of heat-seeking industry. If there's something

happening over there, the attention goes over there. ... What it's really given me the opportunity to do is get behind stories I want to see told.

AP: That must be a good feeling.

Oyelowo: It's a great feeling because I gravitate toward stories that are a bit tougher. They don't immediately scream "box office."

AP: Would you ever do a big budget, popcorntype movie?

Oyelowo: I really want to do those kinds of movies. My thing is that I would still want what I look for as an artist to be present and I don't think they have to be mutually exclusive. You see films like the "Bourne Identity" films, where there is both flash and substance.

AP: What about comedy. Would you do one?

Oyelowo: (Laughs.)

Yeah, if I say I should be mixing it up I guess that should be the next thing,

shouldn't it? It's funny. I'm a bit of a goofball. I have four kids. Our house is full of laughter and silliness. I would love to do comedy.

I think that's a challenge.

It really is. Comedy is not easy. So for anyone listening, please, please, please consider me. (Laughs.)

AP: Does being nominated for an Emmy for "Nightingale" make up for not getting nominated for an Oscar for "Selma"?

Oyelowo: When it comes to the Emmys, "Nightingale" is a tiny film we made for next to no money. Probably the least amount of money I've ever made on any film that I've done. We did it as independent (film,) we envisioned playing a couple theaters.

Probably have a bit of a life on Apple TV. Not HBO with gigantic billboards across the country of my fat head beaming down. Not these nominations. The lesson theguardian.com for me is at the end of the day it's all about the work. David Oyelowo stars in the Oscar-nominated “Selma” as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Maddie & Tae break genre boundaries ‘Sister Wives’ in legal blunder NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The country duo Maddie & Tae took on gender stereotypes in their first platinum single, "Girl in a Country Song," and now they are targeting another overused effect in today's country music: electronic drum machines.

"Fake drums," said Maddie Marlow, clenching her fists in mock anger. "I hate the fake drums. Those need to go away!"

Country music's young provocateurs came out swinging last summer with their on-point criticism of lyrics that portrayed women as simply objects of desire in cutoff jean shorts and bikini tops. Now that they've got everyone's attention, Marlow, 20, and Taylor "Tae" Dye, 19, have got much more to say on their debut album, "Start Here," out on Friday.

The two songwriters from Texas and Oklahoma met at age 15 and found inspiration in the other female artists known for starting trou-

ble in country music, the Dixie Chicks. But they never expected "Girl in a Country Song" to ever get played on radio, much less make them the first female duo to have a Top 10 country song since 2007.

They wanted to follow up with a song that would be just as powerful, but also a true representation of their harmony-laden melodies and original lyrics.

"We were just trying to be machines to put out something that would live up to the first single," Dye said.

"And then finally we were like, `Let's stop lying to ourselves and put something out that we believe in.' It doesn't matter if it's fast or slow."

"Fly," an acoustic guitardriven song about spreading your wings through adversity, is currently No. 14 on Billboard's Hot Country songs chart.

"Of course there's pressure ... if you don't have this slamming up-tempo (song)

that has a little rap thing in it, then it's not going to make it on country radio," Marlow said. "We are saying something and we're not backing down. This is the message.

This is what we want to say."

Country star Dierks Bentley first heard of the duo on "Girl in a Country Song," but it was their live show that convinced him to give them an opening slot on his Sounds of Summer tour along with Kip Moore and Canaan Smith.

"There aren't too many female duos out there like Maddie & Tae, so I think they are really refreshing and intriguing for my audience," Bentley said via email.

Their debut album has plenty of witty moments, like their biting sendup of a mean girl on "Sierra," and a warning to an ex to stay away on "Your Side of Town." But they also amp up the emotion with their layered vocals on "After the Storm Blows Through."

SALT LAKE CITY (AP)— A polygamous family says the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage shows that laws restricting consensual adult relationships are outdated, even if certain unions are unpopular.

Kody Brown and his four wives argue in court documents that their reality TV show "Sister Wives" shows polygamous marriages can be as healthy as monogamous ones.

"The Browns were investigated and no crimes or harm was found in their plural family," attorney Jonathan Turley wrote in court documents filed Wednesday in front of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. He has said the family is prepared to take the legal fight to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.

The Browns are defending a legal victory they won in 2013, when a fed-

Kody Brown and his four wives star in the TLC series, “Sister Wives.” eral judge struck down key parts of Utah's law banning polygamy. Advocacy groups for polygamy and individual liberties called the ruling a significant decision that removed the threat of arrest for the state's plural families.

Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes appealed, saying courts have long upheld laws banning polygamy because they prevent abuse of women and children.

Unlike same-sex marriage advocates, the

Browns are not seeking full legal recognition of polygamous marriages.

That portion of Utah's bigamy law prohibiting multiple marriages license was left in place by U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups when he decided that a provision of the state law forbidding cohabitation violated the family's freedom of religion.

In most polygamous families, the man is legally married to one woman but only "spiritually married" to the others.

WVU Volleyball starts season at Michigan Invitational

by Nicole Curtin sports editor @nicolec_WVU

Today, the West Virginia women’s volleyball team opens its regular season at the Michigan Invitational. The first matchup is against Oakland at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon, followed by George Washington at 11 a.m. and Michigan at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.

With more than half of the roster consisting of new Mountaineers, this weekend will surely include a lot of learning experiences for the whole team. Last year, West Virginia finished with a 16-14 season record, 6-10 in the Big 12. While that was a step up from the previous year, several starting players left following former coach Jill Kramer’s departure to TCU. Outside hitter Jordan Anderson transferred to UCLA, and last season led the team with 495 kills.

She wasn’t alone in the exodus from WVU. Sophomore Morgan Montgomery is the only returner to the net, and last season, she averaged 1.52 kills per set. Dzeni Hadzisehovic is a junior originally from Belgrade, Serbia, but spent the last two seasons playing right side for North Idaho College.

She was second on her team in attacking, averaging .339 over the season.

Hadzisehovic and others will join Montgomery in attacking this season. Two freshmen on the squad, Abby Brown and Bridgett Talia are both on the roster as outside hitters and could see some time this season subbing in as well.

Senior Caleah Wells will return as the middle blocker. Last season, she averaged 0.7 blocks per set, junior Hannah Shreve is on the line with her too.

Shreve suffered an injury to her leg last season and bounced back hard, leading the team with 1.39 blocks per set and was ranked third in the conference in blocking.

Sophomore Mia Swanegan is listed as a blocker for West Virginia and will play that position as needed. Swanegan is a sophomore hailing from Blue Springs, Missouri, she spent her freshman year playing for TCU as

mostly a middle blocker.

On blocking, Swanegan posted 22 blocks for 0.73 per set.

Last season, there was a rotation of mainly three girls competing for playing time at libero and defensive specialist, one of them, Anna Panagiotakopolus, has also transferred to play for another school.

Sophomores Gianna Gotterba and Melvina Brown both paid their dues in the backcourt last year. and will probably see themselves on the court again this weekend.

This year brings four other players who are vying for time as defensive specialists or liberos. Sophomore Taylor Cross and junior MaTia Hughes bring their experience playing Division 1 ball in defensive positions. Freshman Paige Zywick joined the team following her high school time in Michigan, and junior Andrea Phung, a native of Stone Ridge, Virginia, joined the team in the spring. All have something to offer and it will be up to head coach Reed Sunahara to choose who gets that time on the court.

Looking toward this weekend’s invitational, Sunahara said he’s ready to get the ball rolling.

“We’re excited to open the season,” Sunahara said. “There’s going to be some great competition at this tournament; some teams with great RPIs. I think we’re all looking forward to kicking things off and finally getting to play.”

The Oakland Golden Grizzlies come to the tournament as defending Horizon League Champions, and after going into last year’s NCAA Tournament. George Washington finished last season as the 10th runner up in the Atlantic, with an overall record of 22-8. Michigan was about on-par with West Virginia last season finishing with a record, of 13-17 overall, 8-12 in the Big 10.

All this weekend’s matches are repeat faceoffs. The Mountaineers have played all three teams at least once in the past, but none of those games were in recent years. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

Coming home from Indiana this weekend, the Mountaineers have a lot to look forward to. Despite finishing the Hoosier Classic with a 1-1 record and a drop in the rankings, there is nothing but optimism for this team.

The Mountaineers fell to No. 15 in the latest rankings following a 2-0 win over Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and a 2-1 loss to No. 13 Virginia Tech. While the loss to Virginia Tech could be looked at negatively, all one has to do is look back to last season to see the positives. The Mountaineers started last season 1-2 following losses to Penn State and Duke, then went on a programrecord 20-game winning streak that included the win over SIUE Friday night.

In many ways, this is the same team as last year.

It still features the same coach, who, like the program, is entering her 20th year at West Virginia University. It still features stars Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence, who return to campus this fall with a list of honors, experience and preseason awards.

This duo, in addition to leading scorer Michaela Abam, comprise WVU’s Big 12 All-Conference selections. The majority of the team returns, with the addition of three transfers and a plethora of freshman talent.

Buchanan, a junior defenseman, spent the summer representing her home country of Canada in the FIFA Women’s World Cup along with Lawrence. Buchanan and head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown both believe this experience could be the difference in her impact on the field this season.

“I learned that people listen when I speak… that I do have a leadership voice and it is very authentic,” Buchanan said in regard to the Women’s World Cup this summer.

Following the tournament, Buchanan was named the competition’s Best Young Player. Along with these honors, Buchanan has been named a favorite to win the Hermann Award, given to the best player in the country.

Returning to anchor the defense with Buchanan is standout goalie Hannah Steadman. Steadman returns for her senior year following a junior season that included a conferencebest 12 shutouts. A similar performance this year will likely be the base of a fourth consecutive conference championship.

Senior Maggie Bedillion and junior Carly Black, who both started every game last year, also return on the defensive unit. Buchanan will also have assistance from fellow Canadian Bianca St. Georges, one of two freshmen on a young starting roster. As a defensive unit that allowed only 15 goals in 22 games last year, much is

the same with the addition of World Cup experience from Kadeisha Buchanan.

The midfield will be led

by Lawrence, the second member of the Mountaineers’ duo. Lawrence had 15 points last year, leading the team in assists. She will likely be the one bringing the ball upfield in transitions in order to set up scoring attempts.

Joining her on the starting midfield will be sophomore Carla Portillo and senior Amanda Hill. This midfield unit features just one senior, with four freshmen and three sophomores.

Despite limited experience, there is a large amount of talent, and with chemistry, this unit can be extremely successful in transitioning possessions to the forwards.

The offense will be led by sophomore Michaela Abam, who led the team with eight goals as a freshman. Abam was the one to rely on in important situations, with half of her goals eventually ending up as the game-winning goal. The second-highest scorer on the team also returns in senior Kailey Utley, who had five goals and five assists last season.

Stepping up to replace star forward Kate Schwindel is Nia Gordon, a freshman from Ocklawaha, Florida. Gordon has already proved her importance in the Mountaineer attack, scoring the game-winning goal against SIUE and winning Big 12 Rookie of the week honors.

Looking through the roster shows evidence of a very youthful squad. The team includes 10 freshmen, including recent arrival Dalanda Ouendeno from Paris, France. There are seven sophomores, five juniors and six seniors.

This youth shows potential for a successful future, but the team is looking for big things immediately after an early exit in the NCAA tournament last season following an overtime loss to Georgetown.

Offseason changes include three transfers in Yulie Lopez, a transfer from Florida State, Aaran Perry, who left Tennessee, and Kayla Saager from NC State.

Izzo-Brown is optimistic they can have an immediate impact this season.

The team is entering its 20th season and will celebrate all season long at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The team will host promotions for fans at home games this season.

“Fans not only have the chance to cheer for this 2015 team, but they also have an opportunity to celebrate the program’s 20th season with us all year long,” IzzoBrown said in an interview with WVUsports.com.

The No. 15 ranked Mountaineers (1-1) finish their season-opening road trip at Maryland this evening, and return for their home opener at 3 p.m. on Sunday against Duquesne at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

Howard looks to prove doubters wrong as starter

BY DJ DESKINS

SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

West Virginia University’s football team will be led not only by head coach Dana Holgorsen, but by new junior quarterback Skyler Howard on Saturdays.

Howard, who appeared in four games last season, will replace Clint Trickett at the helm of Holgorsen’s offense.

Trickett started the majority of two seasons for the Mountaineers after the departure of current New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith.

The Florida State transfer passed for 4,890 yards during his time under Holgorsen while adding 25 touchdowns through the air. Trickett announced his retirement from football after he reportedly suffered five concussions over the final 14-month span of his career.

Howard has been pegged as a far more mobile quarterback than Trickett, who played his game predominantly from the pocket. His ability to roll outside that space is a trait his team-

mates and coaches said is paying dividends already.

“His mobility opens up a lot of stuff for us in terms of misdirection and stuff like that,” said senior Cody Clay.

“It helps with blocking because he’s able to hold off certain players from collapsing in on the play because they don’t know if he’s keeping the ball or not.”

Clay joins wideout Jordan Thompson as two of the team’s senior leaders on offense. Both began their careers in 2012, Thompson a true freshman and Clay, a redshirt. Howard will be the fifth in-game quarterback they’ve played with since 2012, having caught passes from Smith, Trickett, Paul Millard and Ford Childress.

Thompson said it doesn’t take very long to get comfortable with a new quarterback, and many facets of Howard’s game have improved since he started two games last season while Trickett was sidelined with an injury.

“Going into this year, I feel like Skyler has worked on (his throwing),” Thompson said. “He knew what he did wrong. As soon as we got done with the (Texas

A&M) game, he figured out what he was doing wrong and focused on that going into the offseason.”

In a media session on Tuesday, Howard said he has a whole potato on his shoulder rather than just a chip.

ESPN added fuel to the fire when they released their rankings of the Big 12’s top quarterbacks on Wednesday. TCU’s Trevone Boykin, Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph, Baylor’s Seth Russell, Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes, Iowa State’s Sam Richardson, Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield and Texas’ Tyrone Swoopes all ranked above Howard.

Howard, a native of Fort Worth, Texas, said schools had told him he was too small to play Big 12 football and that helped him make his decision to transfer to WVU from Riverside City College.

“I think playing in the Big 12 was the biggest thing for me,” Howard said in an interview with WV Illustrated.

“Just being able to go back home and play in Texas, play those teams that said I was too small all my life. So that’s what it’s like.”

His coaches and teammates have said the “potato” he carries on his shoulder is blatantly obvious, and Holgorsen thinks it’s going to pay dividends for Howard in the long run.

“He’s tired of hearing how he’s not big enough, or how he’s not fast enough, or how he’s not good enough,” Holgorsen said. “He wakes up every day competing with himself and doing what he has to do to make all that go away. He’s going to wake up, and he’s going to work hard. He’s going to be focused on what he’s responsible for. and I’ve been happy with what he has done.”

Howard started his career at WVU in 2014, the same time as highly touted quarterback recruit William Crest, who hails from Dunbar High School in Baltimore, the same school that produced former Mountaineer star Tavon Austin.

Despite being named the starter for this season, Holgorsen said he wouldn’t be surprised to see Howard concede some time to Crest after an impressive camp. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers begin season tonight vs. Navy

BY ALEC GEARTY

SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University men’s soccer team will open up the regular season against the Navy Midshipmen from Annapolis, Maryland tonight.

“It is a little bit of anxiety and anxiousness to get back out there,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc Thursday morning to WVUsports. com. The Mountaineers are coming off a nine-month break after losing to Bowling Green in the conference semifinals.

“They are well-coached team and well organized,” LeBlanc said about the Navy staff. The Midshipmen are led by head coach Dave Brandt, who possesses the highest Division I winning percentage in the NCAA, going 302-63-33 in his career.

Navy finished the 2014 season with an overall record of 11-4-5. As a result, they finished second in the Patriot League and eventually lost to Bucknell in the conference semifinals.

The Mountaineers are coming off a preseason where they finished 1-0-1.

LeBlanc will be starting his 10th year as coach of the Mountaineers, establishing himself as one of WVU’s longest tenured head coaches.

However, this is only the second time LeBlanc will face Navy. The last time these two teams played each other was Oct. 16, 2007, LeBlanc’s second year as head coach. Navy won the game 1-0.

Coach LeBlanc knows Navy could be a tough task on Friday, calling them the best defensive team in America last year. The Navy defense poses a threat to a West Virginia team that led conference play in goals and shots in 2014.

WVU will also face a star goalkeeper in senior Jackson Morgan. Morgan ranked first in save percentage and goals against in the Patriot League, and ranking ninth in goals among all NCAA goalkeepers. The senior was essentially Navy’s anchor, owning a 486-minute scoreless streak and playing 1,696 minutes in goal, the secondmost in school history.

As for the Mountaineers, look for Ryan Cain and Jamie Merriam to pick up where they left off last year, posing as top offensive

weapons for WVU. However, the scoring was very diverse in West Virginia’s preseason. Defender Francio Henry found the net in the exhibition opener against Dayton, while freshman midfielder Tucker Stephenson was the Mountaineers’ only scorer against Loyola.

The game will come down to the WVU offense vs. the Navy defense, making star goalkeeper Morgan a key component for Navy in Friday’s matchup.

Both teams are considered contenders to win their own respective conference titles, so expect a strong showing Friday night to make a statement to the rest of the teams in each division.

“There is all but one team that feels they’ve got something to prove from last season,” LeBlanc said.

The Mountaineers hope to make the leap to capture the Mid-American Conference championship.

Navy holds a 4-2-1 alltime record against the Mountaineers, and WVU will look to turn the tide tonight. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Ventura overpowering as Royals beat Orioles, 5-3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Yordano Ventura struck out a career-high 11 in just six innings, Paulo Orlando homered and the Kansas City Royals hung on to beat the struggling Baltimore Orioles 5-3 on Thursday.

Ventura (9-7) allowed two hits and four walks to improve to 5-0 in his last seven starts.

The Royals’ usually solid bullpen nearly gave it away, though. Kelvin Herrera served up a homer to Ryan Flaherty in the seventh, and Greg Holland allowed two more runs in the ninth before getting Gerardo Parra to ground out with a runner on to end the game.

Chris Tillman (9-9), who tossed a five-hitter at Kauffman Stadium last May, followed his first loss since May 31 with another.

Orlando also contributed a sacrifice fly for the Royals, while hot-hitting Mike Moustakas drove in a pair of runs and Salvador Perez had an RBI single The AL Central-leading Royals took three of four in the series, and have won 10 of their last 11 against the Orioles. Baltimore still has not won back-to-back games since sweeping Oakland earlier this month.

The start of the game was delayed by 1 hour, 35 minutes, as a storm rolled briskly through the metro area.

Ventura followed up the thunder with some lightning of his own, an assortment of fastballs that nipped at triple digits and kept the slumping Orioles flailing.

Ventura had at least two strikeouts each of his first four innings.

The Royals gave him the lead in the fourth when

Perez scored in the midst of three straight hits, and Orlando’s sacrifice fly made it 2-0. They added another run in the fifth when Moustakas, riding an eight-game hitting streak, had an RBI single through the right side.

Orlando added his homer in the sixth. Moustakas drove in his second run in the seventh.

Jordan Spieth stumbles out of the blocks at The Barclays Thursday EDISON, N.J. (AP) — The start of the FedEx Cup playoffs brought out the worst score from Jordan Spieth in three months.

In his first tournament as No. 1 in the world, Spieth had a pair of three-putt bogeys, hit a tee shot in the water, shot 40 on his back nine and wound up with a 4-over 74 in the opening round of The Barclays. It was his highest score since a 75 in The Players Championship, the last time he missed a cut.

“Just lost a little bit of focus,” Spieth said. “All in all, I’m just going to take today as a fluke round. I still believe I’m playing well. It just happened to be an off day on a day where it counted.”

Bubba Watson and Tony Finau powered their way around Plainfield Country

Club and each had a 5-under 65. They were in a four-way tie for the lead that included Spencer Levin and Camilo Villegas, players who are in dire need of a good week.

Villegas only got into the top 125 to qualify for the playoffs last week at the Wyndham Championship, with two shots to spare. That was pressure. Now he feels as though he has nothing to lose as he tries to get into the top 100 who advance to the second event next week at the TPC Boston.

“Last week was an important week,” said Villegas, who is No. 123. “It hasn’t been the best of years, and just to be able to sneak in here and give myself a chance ... I get off to a good start, and three more rounds to go and keep it going.”

Levin secured his spot in the playoffs with a 63 in the final round at the Wyndham, moving up seven spots to No. 115. Much like Villegas, he felt relieved to have made it to The Barclays, and everything else is gravy. He rolled in three early birdies and dropped only one shot on a mild, blustery day.

“This is a nice stress to have,” he said. “I’m happy with where I am right now and who knows? Maybe I can keep it going.”

Spieth has nothing to lose except the No. 1 ranking he has held for all of two weeks.

With two majors among his four wins, and nine topthree finishes this year, he is No. 1 in the FedEx Cup and virtually assured of getting to the finale at East Lake with a clear shot at the $10 million

bonus. He can afford an off week or three. He just didn’t like it.

Playing alongside Watson and Jason Day — the top three in the FedEx Cup — Spieth didn’t miss a fairway on the back nine and was 2 under at the turn, three shots behind Watson.

From the fairway on No. 1 to a back pin, he got too aggressive and went over the green, leading to bogey. Facing a 20foot birdie putt on the next hole, he left in woefully short and backed off the par putt twice before missing it. And then he put his next shot in the water.

The round ended with another three-putt bogey.

Spieth could lose the No. 1 ranking to Rory McIlroy, who is not playing this week as a precaution coming off an an-

kle injury. The next step for Spieth?

“Do what I’ve done best — bounce back,” he said. “I come back strong tomorrow.

I’m not a big fan of the course.

It doesn’t fit me very well particularly, but I’ve also won on courses that I didn’t think fit me very well. So I know I can still shoot a low round if I hit the shots that I need to hit, that I’m trying to hit.

“Typically when I hit the fairways, I’m not over par.

And that’s what was weird about the round.”

Watson wasn’t hitting all the fairways, but at times that was to his advantage. The greens are pitched in such a way that some shots have to carry to the hole, allowing for spin to make sure it stays below the hole. That’s what caused Spieth problems.

From the rough, Watson was able to land short of the flag and have it roll up toward the hole. That set up ample birdies.

Ditto for Finau, the power Utah rookie.

“So No. 9 today with that pin just on top of the ridge, if you draw a decent lie in the rough, it’s almost easier to just run something up instead of worrying about the spin if you’re hitting from the fairway,” Finau said.

He had the wildest round.

Finau opened with three straight birdies, followed with three straight bogeys, made one par and then ran off three more birdies.

Paul Casey and Jason Dufner were in the large group at 66. Day joined Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler in the group at 68.

Ex-NBA star Darryl Dawkins passes away Thursday NBA (AP)— Darryl Dawkins was once summoned in the Philadelphia 76ers’ locker room to come meet a celebrity who wanted to meet the man known for dunking with backboard-breaking force.

The guest was Grammy Award winner Stevie Wonder. The entertainer is blind, yet even he could tell there was something very unique about Dawkins’ game.

“A guy who never saw me,” a beaming Dawkins said in a 2011 televised interview, “gave me the name `Chocolate Thunder.’”

The name stuck, and the rim-wrecking, glass-shattering dunks remain unforgettable - as will the giant of a man who changed the game with them. Dawkins died Thursday at a hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania, according to the Lehigh County coroner’s office. He was 58, and even though officials said an autopsy would be performed on Friday his family released a statement saying the cause of death was

a heart attack.

“Darryl touched the hearts and spirits of so many with his big smile and personality, ferocious dunks, but more than anything, his huge, loving heart,” his family said. “His family, wife Janice, children Dara, Tabitha, Nicholas and Alexis, along with countless family, friends, and fans, all mourn his loss.

“More than anything Darryl accomplished in his basketball career as the inimitable `Chocolate Thunder,’ he was most proud of his role and responsibility as a husband and father,” his family added.

Dawkins, the first player to go from high school into the first round of the NBA draft, spent parts of 14 seasons in the NBA with Philadelphia, New Jersey, Utah and Detroit. He averaged 12 points and 6.1 rebounds in 726 career regular-season games.

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said Dawkins was “be-

old.”

Dawkins was selected No. 5 in the 1975 draft by the 76ers. His two backboard-shattering dunks came about a month apart early in the 1979-80 season, one against Kansas City, the other against San Antonio.

“You were one of my favorite players of all time,” Houston center Dwight Howard posted Thursday on Instagram under a photo of Dawkins dunking in a game.

“You were very inspirational to a lot of young players. Thank u for the long talks and great memories.

I can’t believe that you’re gone. But you are in a better place. You were the originator of the dunk.”

Dawkins’ shows of force unquestionably changed the game. The NBA soon went to breakaway rims and mandated that backboards be shatter-resistant.

“Simply put, Darryl Dawkins was beloved-by his family, friends, former teammates and his fans all over the globe,” 76ers CEO Scott O’Neil said. “His endearing charm, infectious smile and unparalleled sense of humor will be sorely missed. `Chocolate Thunder’ will always have a special place in our hearts. His family is in our thoughts and prayers.”

Dawkins was, by any measure, a character. His love for the game was unquestioned and unwavering - he appeared at an 76ers alumni event earlier this month and recently posted a photo to his Twitter account of him coaching a summer-league

girls team.

Dawkins was as revered off the court as he was on it. He remained enormously popular after his playing days were done, even during his stint as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters. He would name his dunks - the “look out below,” the “yo-mama” and the “rim wrecker” among them - and often boasted that he hailed from the “Planet Lovetron.”

In actuality, he was born and raised in Orlando, Florida, growing up impoverished with dreams of giving his mother and grandmother better lives.

“A great man, entertainer, athlete and ferocious dunker,” former NBA guard Kevin Johnson wrote on Twitter. “He will be missed but not forgotten.”

Injuries plagued Dawkins late in his NBA career, and he went overseas for several more years to play in the Italian league.

He also briefly had stints in the Continental Basketball Association and the International Basketball Association.

He also coached at times, at both the minor-league and junior-college levels.

He averaged double digits in nine consecutive NBA seasons, with his best year likely being the 1983-84 campaign for New Jersey. He averaged a career-best 16.8 points that year, with only foul trouble 386 that season, still a league record - holding him back.

“Darryl Dawkins is the father of power dunking,” Shaquille O’Neal once said. “I’m just one of his sons.”

Programs run into pitfalls with fining college athletes NCAA (AP)— Take away game tickets for missing class. Hold back a bowl gift for being late. Maybe even dock a player his $15 per diem for skipping study hall.

For years, college football coaches have been coming up with creative ways within NCAA rules to punish players for relatively minor missteps - sometimes hitting them in the wallets.

These days those wallets are fuller than ever before, thanks to new NCAA rules which increase the value of an athletic scholarship by several thousand dollars to include a stipend for additional cost-of-attendance expenses. That does not mean coaches can start fining players for misdeeds like they do in the pros.

“All that’s covered (in cost of attendance) is the costs that the school says is needed to survive on campus,” said Ramogi Huma, executive director of National College Players Association, a student-athlete advocacy group.

“This is not excess money.”

Not only could fining players be an NCAA violation, but it also makes college sports look like professional sports at a time when college leaders are trying to make the case that amateurism needs to be preserved.

Huma led a movement to unionize football players at Northwestern. It failed, but the National Labor Relations Board never did rule on whether the players were employees. College sports leaders insist they are not.

Antitrust lawsuits against the NCAA make the case they are.

Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock quickly stamped out a potential problem Thursday night in Blacksburg, Virginia, when he quickly ended a fine program Hokies’ coaches said they were considering.

Defensive coordinator Bud Foster talked about fines coming out of players’ costof-attendance money. Virginia Tech athletes are receiving an additional $3,280 (or $3,620 for out-of-state students) this year to cover expenses beyond tuition, room and board and fees.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch published a photo on Thursday of a video board at the Virginia Tech football facility that had a list of transgressions - missing class, missing study hall, dirty locker, unsportsmanlike behavior - with dollar amounts next to them ranging from $5 to $100.

Virginia Tech said no money had been forfeited under the proposed system.

“Now, I would also like to say this: I really admire coach (Frank) Beamer, the behavior of our players, the accountability, the discipline, the clean program. I admire what he’s done,” Babcock told The Roanoke Times. “But I just

think this is a new era and we all agreed this morning that we would stop this practice in total.”

Babcock said in the past Virginia Tech coaches had disciplined players by withholding game tickets or bowl gifts.

That’s not uncommon nor is it against the rules. Tickets and gifts are perks for being part of the team, not financial aid.

“I would basically hold ransom,” said former UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel, now an analyst for CBS. “I would keep things and if I got the behavior I wanted it would be returned to them.

“I would hold back bowl gifts until we got the academic work that we needed to get done.”

Neuheisel, who also coached at Washington and Colorado, said a player could be punished by not being allowed to drive to a not-sofar-away bowl game, hence taking away the player’s ability to be reimbursed for the mileage and make a couple of bucks in the process.

Former Arkansas and Mississippi coach Houston Nutt said making a player run gassers or stadium steps at 5 a.m. as punishment isn’t always enough to get his attention.

Nutt said he once took away a player’s travel per diem - about $15 - after the player missed several study halls.

“To me it was a good little learning point especially when his teammates opened up their envelope and got theirs and his first trek was straight to me,” said, who also works for CBS Sports. “’Hey coach where’s my envelope?’”

Cincinnati coach Tommy Tuberville seemed to doubledown on the Virginia Tech plan when he told ESPN that he would withhold cost-ofattendance funds if players violated team or athletic department rules.

“We are in no way, shape or form fining any of our student-athletes,” Cincinnati athletic director Mike Bohn said.

While NCAA rules prohibit schools from withholding scholarship funds, a school can include in its scholarship agreement that funds can be revoked for violations of university, athletic department or team policies. The scholarship agreement athletes sign with Cincinnati spells that out. There is also a university appeals process for an athlete who faces the loss of a scholarship.

Cincinnati football players are receiving an additional $5,504 in scholarship money to cover cost of attendance.

“And now we’re trying to educate our student athletes,” said Maggie McKinley, associate athletic director who oversees compliance at Cincinnati, “because of that increase in their scholarships, they have more to lose.”
