Eberly College of Arts and Sciences announces permanent dean West Virginia wins 2016 Cactus Bowl, defeats Arizona State in dramatic fashion, 43-42 by corey mcdonald staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Eberly College of Arts and Sciences recently announced Gregory Dunaway, an award-winning sociologist, as its permanent dean.

Dunaway was raised in Baltimore, Maryland, where he received his bachelor’s degree from Loyola College. He received his Masters degree and Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati in 1990 and began at Mississippi State University, where he has worked for 26 years.

Dunaway has been dean of Mississippi State University’s College of Arts and Sciences since 2013. He had previously served as the associate dean for academic and student affairs and was the head of the department of sociology.

Dunaway’s research has spanned a long career, adding new studies along the way. Upon heading to Cincinnati, Dunaway’s primary interest had been political sociology. After mingling with various experts in the field, he began focusing on how political views in children and young adults are transmitted from their parents.

“I did a study where we looked at college students’ attitudes and compared them to their parents’ attitudes.” Dunaway said. “And so that’s what propelled me on this path of looking at crime and justice issues – and particularly policy issues – as a political issue.”

His research further positioned his view of crime and justice as a

West Virginia wide receiver Shelton Gibson receives a pass from quarterback Skyler Howard and breaks away for a touchdown.

by david schlake managing editor @dschlake_wvu

PHOENIX—West Virginia entered the confines of Chase Field looking to win its first postseason game since the 2012 Orange Bowl. Quarterback Skyler Howard did the same, looking to erase every question mark surrounding his role as the Mountaineers’ primary signal caller.

Both objectives were met, as Howard led WVU to a 43-42 victory over Arizona State, earning most outstanding offensive player honors in the best performance of his career.

Head Coach Dana Holgorsen put the game in Howard’s hands from the first drive on, which proved to be successful after three consecutive completions for a total of 68 yards—one of them being a 53-yard

hookup with wide receiver Ka’Raun White.

The familiar air-raid success wouldn’t stop there, though, as Howard continued to launch the ball deep to his receivers for the rest of the night, never hesitating to leave the fate of a drive in one of his teammates’ hands—literally.

“We knew they were good up front,” Holgorsen said. “I think they blitzed 100 percent of the time. We knew they would. They were going to try to fill gaps (and) take away our run game.”

Howard completed 28 of 51 passes for 532 yards—erasing Drew Bledsoe’s Cactus Bowl record of 476 from 1992—and five touchdowns.

“We knew it was going to be high risk, high reward,” Howard said. “If we would hold up front, we would have shots down the field. I was giving those guys a shot and they came down with it.”

ASU would take a similar approach, as quarterback Mike Bercovici completed 29 of 52 passes for 418 yards and four touchdowns.

The game continued go back and forth, each drive ending in a field goal until Bercovici found wide receiver Devin Lucien in the endzone, putting the Sun Devils up 10-9 with 9:59 remaining in the second quarter.

Shortly after, WVU responded with its relentless aerial attack that split the secondary with vertical routes through the middle of the gridiron. Howard found White for a 21-yard gain, two plays before completing a 59-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Shelton Gibson, giving the Mountaineers a 16-10 lead.

“The toughest thing of the game is we couldn’t contain the vertical pass,” said

IHOP officially opens in University Park apartments by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Yesterday, a long line of students stood outside in the cold. However, the students weren’t waiting to be checked in or to get books.

They were there for pancakes, courtesy of IHOP’s newest establishment.

“Today, we’re really busy,” said Tommy Tsitouris, Vice President of Sharp Holding Inc. “We’ve got a line out the door and we’ve got a wait.”

The new IHOP, located at the base of the University Park apartments, also includes a coffee bar, which Tsitouris said was the first of its kind to be added to a new IHOP. “It has cappuccino, mocha, café latte, frozen ice beverage - anything you could imagine from a coffee bar...Imagine getting a pancake with a café latte,” Tsitouris said. “IHOP has spent a lot of time searching and developing a program for the IHOP system, and we’ve spent a lot of time, money and energy putting together a very good program, and we think it’s going to be

While the location of the new IHOP is certainly unique, Tsitouris says it has its advantages and disadvantages.

STUDENT VOTING More options needed to encourage voting in college students OPINION PAGE 3

Although it seems like winter break was just getting started, the spring semester is finally here, ushering students old and new back to Morgantown.

Over the weekend, students moved their belongings into their dorms and apartments in haste, hoping to evade the freezing rain and wind.

In the Arnold Apartments, friends and roommates Shane Catlett, a junior mechanical engineering student, and Ethan Marshall, a junior computer science student, were happy to be back on campus.

“Coming back every semester, I’d say my favorite thing is the environment of students and the different organizations and the atmosphere,” Catlett said. “It feels easy to get into a group and just have fun with people.”

Catlett and Marshall have been a part of a group called the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and are now leaders in the organization.

“It’s actually where I made

a lot of my good friends in college,” Marshall said.

While the two are happy to be back in the area, they were less than excited to start classes again.

“First week homework is pretty normal,” Catlett said.

“First day, probably.”

Across town, Jacob Spitale, a freshman management information systems student, was glad to be back from his hometown in Virginia.

“I’ve seen and heard, and I have friends that go to different colleges, and people are a lot nicer here,” Spitale said.

Though he has only spent one semester here, Spitale said he’s made several good friends and is looking forward to meeting more people in the semester to come.

Spitale’s friend, Dyllan Bergman, is starting his first semester at West Virginia University after taking a semester off after high school.

Bergman said he was new to the college structure and was interested in how the classes themselves were structured.

Powerball jackpot world’s largest at $1.3 billion OMAHA, Neb. (AP)— Disappointed you didn't win the Powerball jackpot this weekend? Don't be.

Lottery officials say the prize has now swelled to an estimated $1.3 billion - the world's largest. Ever.

"Biggest jackpot in the history of the world. Absolutely confirmed," Texas Lottery executive director Gary Grief said.

The jackpot is so big that billboards in Texas and around the country have to advertise the price as $999 million because they're not built to show billions. The lottery computers will handle the decimal point without a problem.

No one matched all six Powerball numbers Saturday night, leading to the astronomical prize.

And that is all but certain to grow before the next drawing Wednesday, according to lottery officials.

"We've never been at these levels," said Grief, whose state lottery is part of the Multi-State Lottery Association that runs Powerball.

The odds to win are one in 292.2 million. Seventyfive percent of all the possible combinations were purchased before Saturday's drawing, Grief said, and he expects that enough tickets will be sold to cover about 80 percent

by Wednesday. About 95 percent of Powerball tickets have computer-generated numbers.

"I've been in the industry over 20 years, and I've seen jackpots hit when we hardly have any of the potential numbers covered - like 5 percent of the possible combinations covered. And I've seen other jackpots when we've had 95 percent of the combinations covered and it rolls," Grief said.

The jackpot has ballooned since its Nov. 4 starting point of $40 mil-

Samir Akhter, the owner of Penn Branch Liquor, exchanges money for Powerball tickets, Saturday, Jan. 9, 2016 in Washington. Officials say it’s increasingly likely that someone will win the $900 million Powerball jackpot, which grew by $100 million just hours before Saturday night’s drawing. lion and spurred huge ticket sales.

In Omaha, Les Wheeler said he probably overdid it by buying $30 worth of tickets for Saturday's drawing with a few friends, but they plan to do the same for this next jackpot.

"I didn't expect to win, but I had big dreams," said Wheeler, 53. He said a new home in another state away from Omaha's 16-degree temperatures were at the top of his wish list.

Saturday's w inning numbers - 16-19-32-34-

57 and Powerball number of 13 - did gain some people a little wealth: 25 tickets won $1 million by matching five numbers, and three other tickets won $2 million because they paid extra to multiply smaller prizes.

Darryl Collins, of Phoenix, and his husband each won $24 from the 70 Powerball tickets they bought. They plan to use that money toward buying more tickets for the new, higher jackpot. Collins said it was a shock that nobody won.

"It was like only 500

people who missed it by one number," Collins said. "It shows you how hard it is to win."

The 55-year-old real estate agent said he and his husband would definitely share the wealth.

"I would give a lot of it to family and friends," Collins said.

"Who needs that much money?"

Michael Montecelo, a security guard in San Francisco's financial district, said he spent $20 on Powerball tickets and hasn't yet checked if he won anything. He said

he will buy another $20 worth of tickets even if thinking about winning more than a billion dollars scares him a bit.

"I think I would go into a state of anxiety, but it would be a good anxiety," he said, smiling.

Montecelo, 50, said he would retire and donate some of that money and work on administering the rest.

"I would have to open an office and get a team of experts. I think my job would be to keep tabs on that money," he said.

"That would be a full-time

job."

The record jackpot lured an unprecedented frenzy of purchases. Between Jan. 6 and Saturday's drawings, more than $900 million in Powerball tickets were sold.

Officials expect similar sales before the next drawing, but Grief said it's hard to predict how excitement about the record jackpot will boost sales. " It ' s e x p o n e n t i a l l y greater than any sales that any of the states involved have ever seen," he said.

Police probe tip that radical group wants to harm officers PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police in Philadelphia are investigating a tip that a man charged in the ambush shooting of a patrolman is connected to a radical group that may continue to pose a threat to officers.

Police say they are working with the FBI to investigate the credibility of the information. They have alerted all department employees about

Harnett was last reported in stable condition at the hospital after a man charged his car as he patrolled his usual west Philadelphia beat shortly before midnight Thursday, firing at least 13 shots, hitting the officer three times. Hartnett got out of his car, chased the man and returned fire, wounding him in the buttocks before he was captured by other officers about a block away.

Edward Archer, 30, of Yeadon, was charged Saturday with attempted murder, aggravated asa senior physics and math student. “I think that there are really cool things that Morgantown has going for it. There are a lot of local eateries even though it’s a small town, and when the corporations move in, you sort of lose some of that variety.”

Tsitouris, however, refuted the idea of the city’s

sault, assault of a law enforcement officer and several firearms crimes.

He is being held without bail pending a Jan. 25 preliminary hearing. The Defender Association of Philadelphia, listed in court documents as representing him, couldn’t be reached over the weekend to offer comment on the charges.

Investigators said Archer told them he was “following Allah” and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, and he believed the police department defends laws that are contrary to Islam.

Authorities believe Archer traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and to Egypt in monopolization, saying IHOP had been a part of Morgantown since 2006.

“It was actually locals in the Morgantown area who asked us to build our first restaurant here,” Tsitouris said. “We have been received nothing but warmly.”

The IHOP is celebrating its completion with a

2012 and are investigating the purpose of those trips. FBI special agent Eric Ruona said Sunday that as U.S. authorities work with partners overseas, it would take time to find any potential terror connections, and it was too early for any meaningful comment on the subject.

Earlier, police said a man tried to grab the gun of a Philadelphia officer working a detail at the hospital where Hartnett is recovering, but they believe the incident is unrelated to the ambush shooting.

Police said the man approached the officer outside Penn Presbyterian grand opening ceremony on Jan. 29, and Tsitouris invites everyone to participate. He also encourages students looking for a job to stop by the restaurant for an interview.

The officer handed the man a $5 bill and entered the medical center, but later, when he was standing near the emergency room exit doors, the man tried to grab the officer’s handgun from the holster. The officer, with the aid of hospital security and other officers, subdued the 40-year-old suspect, who said he wanted the gun to rob a store, police said.

Police said the incident appeared unrelated to Hartnett’s shooting but was “an example of the type of individu-

als that our officers face daily when performing their duties as Philadelphia police officers.”

Meanwhile, a fundraising page has been set up to raise money to help pay the expenses of the wounded officer, who was shot three times in the arm and will require multiple surgeries. The GoFundMe page had recorded $17,530 on Sunday afternoon.

WVU kicker Josh Lamberts PAT attempt was blocked, however, and returned by ASU wide receiver Tim White for a defensive PAT, swinging momentum in the Sun Devils’ direction with only 0:28 remaining in the half, and a score of 22-15 instead of 23-13.

ASU managed to move the ball down the field to the 17-yard line, giving Gonzalez another field goal opportunity with 0:06 before halftime. He found space

between the uprights for his third field goal of the night, as ASU trailed WVU 22-18 heading into halftime.

Despite some of WVU’s sloppy tendencies from the regular season, Howard’s efficiency would not falter in the second half, as he threw for another 198 yards and three more touchdowns, including a pass to wide receiver David Sills on what would be a game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter.

The decisiveness of that

drive, however, was a result of a questionable play call

by Graham to kick the PAT, rather than going for a twopoint conversion with 4:56 on the clock, leaving only a 6-point lead for his defense to protect.

The Sills touchdown, prefaced by a 24-yard rush by running back Wendell Smallwood on 3rd and 22, and followed by an accurate PAT kick from Lambert would conclude matters in Phoenix, 43-32, WVU. “It’s my fault,” Graham

said. “In the fourth quarter, we have a chart in the box that we go by. We’re supposed to be going for two.

We didn’t. (It was) mismanagement on our part. That’s my responsibility.”

Smallwood finished with a team-high 79 rushing yards on the night. Gibson and White both finished with more than 100 receiving yards, with 143 and 116, respectively. Other notable performances at wide receiver included Shorts (97 receiving yards and two

touchdowns) and Jordan Thompson (80 receiving yards).

With the victory, WVU finished the season with more than seven wins for the first time since joining the Big 12 in 2012.

“We wanted to finish this one better than any West Virginia University Big 12 team had, and we did,” Holgorsen said. “That’s something positive, something we can build on.”

into crime and justice in a number of areas, but primarily I’ve been more interested in looking at the policy side to crime and justice issues.”

Dunaway will head WVU’s largest college, employing more than 435 faculty while offering 36 undergraduate majors – 60 percent of all undergraduate instruction and 32 graduate programs.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Dunaway to West Virginia University,” Provost Joyce McConnell said, according to a press release

by WVUToday. “He has the rare and valuable combination of extensive experience and a strong vision, exactly what is needed to guide a large and complex academic unit like our Eberly College.”

With a wide breadth of educational fields, the college’s complexity demands an administrator with strong leadership. Dunaway is poised for the job.

“The College of Arts and Sciences is so large and diverse in regards to the various fields that are typically housed in an arts and sci-

ences college, and it’s really difficult to be an expert in many fields like that,” Dunaway said. “But I do feel that it’s incumbent upon an administrator – and certainly the dean – to have a deep respect for the different areas of academic inquiry.”

In order to balance the administrative and educational aspects of deanship, Dunaway will place a strong emphasis on communicating with the faculty of the college.

“My intent and my current position is to really

have an opportunity to meet with faculty, meet with individual departments and really have them implore me onto where their areas of expertise are, what they want to emphasize, and how I can be an ambassador to the administration parts,” Dunaway said.

Dunaway cited that moving closer to his family in Baltimore was a large consideration in taking the position, but what primarily drew him to the University was its qualities as a land-grant institution and

what it can achieve.

“I’ve come to appreciate and value what a landgrant can do,” Dunaway said. “Part of being at a land-grant university such as West Virginia is to provide services and expertise to the general community and certainly I would welcome any opportunity to help with any projects going on that might improve the community of Morgantown or really the state of West Virginia in general.”

editorial

Violence won’t solve refugee crisis The holiday season is filled with time spent with loved ones, and during this time, activities like volunteering and donating to those in need exemplify humanity’s best qualities by spreading goodwill to others.

However, the past few weeks have seemingly embodied the opposite sentiments. Syrian refugees seeking to escape their own war-torn country have been met with staunch opposition in many parts of the world.

Last November, 31 states claimed Syrian refugees are “not welcome,” and private sponsors in Canada arranging for refugees to rent apartments have been denied leases simply on the basis of the tenants’ nationality.

Unfortunately, unwelcoming attitudes have now morphed into physical violence. An event wel-

coming Muslim refugees in Vancouver on Jan. 8 was interrupted by a pepper spray attack from an anonymous man on a bicycle, which affected 15 people. Vancouver’s police chief, constable Adam Palmer, has called the act a hate crime, and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the attack on his Twitter account by saying, “…

This isn’t who (Canadians) are.”

The refugees affected by the attack have expressed anger and disappointed at the event, but said that what transpired does not represent their view of Canadians or Canada as a whole.

This editorial board urges Americans unsupportive of helping Syrian refugees to consider the same view. The acts of a few do not represent the larger whole, and voicing

contempt by enacting violence paints a portrait of a savage and intolerant nation no different than the one they are escaping from.

Denying a group of people who have experienced loss and homelessness firsthand a new beginning based simply on where they came from is ultimately an act of bigotry rooted in fear.

President Barack Obama has invited Refaai Hamo, a Syrian refugee living in Detroit, to attend the State of the Union speech, which will be given on Tuesday. In previous years, Obama has addressed each invitee and their personal issues in the speech, and his words may help reshape America’s negative attitudes toward refugees over time.

How universities can promote student voting shelby bradford columnist @shelbybradfordda

Having the right to vote has been a critical part of America’s government since the formative years of the nation. From selecting county officials and representatives for public office to determining the next president of the United States, voting makes up the entirety of the democratic process.

Despite how integral voting is in determining the way the government is run, studies have shown that fewer young adults participate in elections.

Because the 18-24 age range constitutes such a large majority of the population, these non-voters could be missing a serious opportunity to make a large impact on the American government.

University students make up a significant amount of the voting population, but unfortunately, many of them never make it to the polls: According to CNBC, only 44 percent of people aged 18-24 voted in the 2008 presidential election, and this number decreased to 38 percent in 2012.

While common consensus has determined voter apathy to be a major factor in why college students don’t vote, another reason may be due to being unable to make it to the voting booth in the first place.

As many eligible voters attend college out-of-state, these students are often not in their registered precinct on election days.

Even if they are registered to vote in the city of their college, many young adults still face problems

Providing transportation to polling locations and informing students about absentee ballots may increase voting participation in students. making it to the poll because of transportation difficulties.

With a little help from West Virginia University and other Morgantown officials, easy solutions to increasing student participation in the voting process can be found.

There are many students who choose to go to college outside of their home state or away from their registered voting region. While they may visit their hometown throughout the year, it’s not feasible to make trips home just

to cast votes.

If students aren’t in their voting region on election days, students can fill out an absentee ballot to remedy the problem. However, many young adults are either completely unaware of this process, do not know where to obtain a ballot or don’t have the knowledge of when it needs to be completed.

The University could help in this area by just sending all students an email explaining this procedure. If this type of notice were sent out early or

throughout the semester, more students would be likely to take part in their local elections by being informed on how to vote from afar.

For students who are attending school in the city in which they have registered to vote, it may be hard to see why students would ever pass up the opportunity to vote. However, not all students have access to a car or other modes of reliable transportation to take them to polls on election days.

One solution to this

might be for the University to provide a voting poll for registered students to vote at a centralized location on campus. This would require approval from the county clerk, but creating a polling location easily accessible to students would increase voting among the 18-24 age bracket.

Though college-aged students currently face obstacles in voting, the University already make strides to assist them in some areas. A few student organizations pro-

blog.chegg.com

vide voter registration to students who have recently moved to Morgantown and provide answers to questions from those who will be voting abroad.

Despite this, there are still many students who do not find help to learn how they can be active members of the voting community. By providing more resources to inform students of their voting options, the University could promote participation of students in elections. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

fledged villian. While this is true, I argue that it is not a mistake on the writers’ part but feature of the character.

It is important to remember that this new “Star Wars” saga is going to be a trilogy. I suspect that the audience will see Kylo mature into whatever he is destined to be as the story progresses. Yes, he’s immature and prone to tantrums in “The Force Awakens,” but that is because he has just begun his training and has experienced no real tragedy. By the end of the film however, that has changed. The First Order has suffered a mighty blow at the hands of the Resistance with their planet sized weapon being destroyed, Kylo has killed his father and has lost a fight with the movie’s protagonist leaving him physically scarred.

In the next film he’ll b e

back with a vengence.

One bit of criticism which is understandable is how closely the movie mirrors the others. The planet-sized Starkiller weapon is essentially just a larger version of The Empire’s Death Star, and it suffered a similar fate of being destroyed by an X-wing fighter squadron.

Additionally, there are some plot holes. One, how does Finn know so much about Starkiller base’s defences and architectural weaknesses? He stated he was in the sanitation department while a m e m ber of the First Ord e r,

and it is highly unlikely that a militarized force would allow classified information, such as the superweapon’s one weakness, to be available to a low ranking member.

Another strange part of the movie is how quickly Rey learns to use the force. In the Star Wars universe control of the force is very hard to learn, so much so that it took the galaxy’s most powerful Jedi, Anakin Skywalker, years of training to master his powers. Yet, we are expected to believe that an orphaned scrapper from a backwater desert planet learns mindcon-

trol and other powers within minutes of learning she is force sensitive.

There are undoubtably long lists of plot holes online, crafted by fans who carefully combed through every second of the movie on t h e i r eighth viewing.

However the two above seem be the most t o pertinent. wethompson@ mail.wvu.edu

“Modern Romance” a funny look at how we love in the 21st Century Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @westleyt93

It’s no secret that comedians are intelligent. The best jokes are often the result of astute observations of the self, others and the world around us. What happens when one comedian turns their spotlight of intellect away from the stage and onto something else? You get “Modern Romance,” the funny, informative and eye opening study of love in the 21st century by Aziz Ansari.

Ansari is best known for his television roles in NBC’s “Parks and Rec” and Netflix’s “Master of

None.”

Ansari, partnered with sociologist Eric Klinenberg and spent almost two years researching modern romance across the globe.

They interviewed hundreds of people from several countries, conducted research on a specially made subreddit and studied many articles.

Inspiration for the book first struck Ansari after a standup show. While venting about a girl ignoring his texts, Ansari noticed the story resonated with the audience in an unusual way. He decided the topic of dating in the modern era warranted deeper investigation.

“Modern Romance” covers all aspects of the dating world, with each chapter dedicated to a particular topic such as meeting new people, the lifecycle of a relationship or cheating.

The book’s greatest strength is how well it combines information with humor. The book teaches you a lot but in a fun way.

Informative graphs show trends throughout history. One, for example, showed that in the ‘50s a large percentage of people married someone within walking distance of their childhood home, a stark contrast to today where people marry individuals from across the globe.

Ansari’s jokes, often in

the form of humorous anecdotes or comical hypothetical examples are truly funny. He does a careful job of not letting the jokes get in the way of the information, strking a nice balance. His witty and easy writing style stops reading from being a chore, which is sometimes the case for informative books. As you read, chapters fly by without you even realizing it.

The book is interesting and pays special attention to how technology has changed the dating world.

Ansari argues that technology is a tool and therefore neither good nor evil.

That, he says, depends on how a person uses it.

Overall “Modern Romance” is an interest-

ing dive into the branch of social science dealing with how people form relationships. It expertly combines humor with an in-depth look at how we search for, attract and build relationships with people we are romantically interested in. It explores every facet of the process and takes a look at how technology has changed the dating landscape. “Modern Romance” is a highly recommended read. wethompson@mail. wvu.edu

Sean Penn interview helped locate drug lord MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexican officials say Sean Penn’s contacts with drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman helped them track the fugitive down - even if he slipped away from an initial raid on the hideout where the Hollywood actor apparently met him.

Penn’s article on Guzman was published late Saturday

by Rolling Stone magazine, a day after Mexican marines captured the world’s most wanted kingpin in a raid on the city of Los Mochis near the Gulf of California.

Penn wrote of elaborate security precautions, but also said that as he flew to Mexico on Oct 2 for the meeting, “I see no spying eyes, but I assume they are there.”

He was apparently right.

A Mexican federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to comment on the issue, told the Associated Press the Penn interview led authorities to Guzman

in the area of Tamazula, a rural part of Durango state.

They raided Guzman’s remote hideout a few days after the interview and narrowly missed capturing Guzman, whose July escape from Mexico’s top security prison - though a mile-long (1.5-kilometer) tunnel - had embarrassed President Enrique Pena Nieto and made his capture a national priority.

Describing the capture, Attorney General Arely Gomez said that investigators had been aided in locating Guzman by documented contacts between his attorneys and “actors and producers” she said were interested in making a film about him, though she did not name them.

Two months after that close call, marines finally caught him in a residential neighborhood of Los Mochis, where they’d been monitoring a suspected safe house. Five people died in a gun battle as troops moved

in.

In the interview, Guzman defends his work at the head of the world’s biggest drug trafficking organization, one blamed for thousands of killings. When asked if he is to blame for high addiction rates, he responds: “No, that is false, because the day I don’t exist, it’s not going to decrease in any way at all. Drug trafficking? That’s false.”

Penn wrote that Guzman was interested in having a movie filmed on his life and wanted Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, who had portrayed a drug trafficker in a television series, involved in the project.

“He was interested in seeing the story of his life told on film, but would entrust its telling only to Kate,” wrote Penn, who appears in a photo posted with the interview shaking hands with Guzman.

There was no immediate response from representatives for either Penn or del Castillo to the Mexican offi-

cial’s comments.

Earlier Saturday, a federal law enforcement official said that Mexico is willing to extradite Guzman to the United States - a move authorities had ruled out before his July escape.

“Mexico is ready. There are plans to cooperate with the U.S.,” said the Mexican official, who spoke on condition anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to comment.

But he cautioned it could take at least six months to approve extradition through courts, where Guzman’s attorneys can battle a move to the U.S., where he faces drug trafficking charges in several states.

“That can take weeks or months, and that delays the extradition,” he said.

“We’ve had cases that take six years.”

Guzman’s attorney Juan Pablo Badillo told the Milenio newspaper that the defense already has filed six motions to challenge extradition requests.

Bowie drops ‘Blackstar’ album on 69th birthday Woody Pond

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Rising masterfully from the dead, the modern Lazarus himself, David Bowie, has brought out an album that does not try and therefore succeeds. The artist, once known as Ziggy Stardust, has always had to try to outlive his musical work from the 70’s. But here, on his newest record “Blackstar” which dropped on Jan. 8, Bowie returns to life in a darkly distorted mist of jazz and alienation.

The artist’s 25th studio album consists of only seven songs, although some extend much farther than a radio song you’re used to, and moves pretty far away from the rugged pop sound listeners expected to hear from Bowie when news of a new album surfaced.

“Blackstar” begins with the title track, which rounds off to be about 10 minutes of Bowie singing haunting melodies over a digital drum pattern and some hollow synths teetering between minor keys and major keys as the song continues its disorienting ride. A vibrant saxophone pops up all over the album, but its introduction comes during the first song when an eerie

desert sounding solo waves over the lull of the strings.

Bowie sings mostly about the death and the meaning “at the center of it all”, as the song fills itself in fragment by fragment—sometimes even complete changes in instrumentation, presenting the song in sections like a jazz set.

Perhaps some of his most experimental work since his early albums, Bowie decides not to let us ease into it but to instead dive headfirst into the warped artist’s mind and get a good glimpse at his easel.

Bowie leaves us with a piece of art and a pop treasure, although it is hard to classify exactly what genre this song truly falls into, in the form of the album’s third track “Lazarus”. Lazarus is a biblical character who was resurrected by Jesus, and the mysteries of this phenomenon caused him to be a wanted man, since his condition was something that could not be explained and therefore frightened people who were afraid to give in to faith. In the song, Bowie questions if life is trapping him and if freedom comes with death, and whether or not he has the capacity for happiness.

“Lazarus” quickly settles itself comfortably in your ear.

The album changes its sounds many times, with rougher rock songs like “Sue (Or In a Season of Crime)” in the same place

Tips for solidifying your New Year’s Resolutions Meg Weissend

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

For many, New Year’s means watching the ball drop, popping champagne and receiving a fresh start by making a resolution.

When an individual intends to change an aspect of his or her life, whether big or small, it can become quite the challenge to follow through. Within the first week, millions of people crack under the pressure of old habits.

According to various studies conducted by newspapers, magazines and other publications, the most popular resolutions include: enjoy life to the fullest, live a healthier lifestyle, lose weight, save money and spend more time with family and friends.

If you are having trouble sticking to your New Year’sForbes magazine reports that only 8 percent of people keep their resolution goals. resolution, here are a few tips.

Ask Yourself “Why”

There is always a reason why you make a certain resolution. Find out that reason and remember that reason. If you can’t figure out why you made the resolution in the first place, or why the resolution is important to you, you probably should not be making it. When the resolution does not matter to you, of course you are going to break it.

Accountability

It is smart to ask your friends or family to hold you accountable. Even though it may seem annoying at first, receiving a text from someone asking huffingtonpost.com about your progress can not only remind you of your goals but give you another reason to make sure you stay focused.

Treat Yo’self

Do not let a good day go unrewarded. Promise yourself a movie night or dinner with your friends if you stick to your resolution for a certain amount of time.

There is nothing wrong with patting yourself on the back every once in awhile.

Even though sticking to a New Year’s resolution can be tricky, it does not mean you should not try. Give yourself a brand new start in 2 016. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Celebrities leave little to the imagination on Globes red carpet “Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez hit the red carpet in a blue, off-the-shoulder gown, while “Blindspot” star Jaimie Alexander somehow hid her own real tattoos in a green gown with a neckline that plunged all the way to the navel as the stars of film and TV arrived Sunday for the Golden Globe Awards.

Emmy Rossum wore a tight red dress and a twisting diamond necklace and Laverne Cox rocked a backless gown in ivory crepe with a fishtail train.

The looks were as varied as the night’s nominees. Without a runaway favorite for this year’s top Academy Award, a handful of key contenders will be looking to Sunday night’s Globes for a little traction on the road to the Oscars.

Among the nominees with the most to gain from a best-picture win when the Globes are handed out in Beverly Hills, California, are “Mad Max: Fury Road,” ‘’The Revenant” and “Spotlight” in the drama category, and “The Big Short” and “The Martian” in the comedy category.

The five films are the only Globe best picture nominees in either category to also appear on the Producers Guild of America’s list of 10 best picture nominees announced this past week. There has never been an Oscar best picture winner that hasn’t also been on the PGA’s list of best picture nominees since the guild started handing out awards in 1990.

Other nominees in the Globes’ top two categories this year are the

dramas “Carol” and “Room,” and “Joy,” ‘’Spy” and “Trainwreck” in the comedy category. None were among the PGA’s top nods.

Also not appearing on the PGA list and conspicuously absent from this year’s Globes nominees is J.J. Abrams’ galactic juggernaut “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which on Wednesday, became the highest-grossing movie of all time in North America. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which presents the Golden Globes, announced its nominees a few days before the first industry screening of “Star Wars” in mid-December.

This will surely be one of the things acerbic host Ricky Gervais needles the Hollywood Foreign Press Association about at the Beverly Hilton Hotel ceremony, which runs from 8-11 p.m. EST, telecast live on NBC. Gervais, who will host for the fourth time after a three-year stint

by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, said on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” last week that booze gives him the courage to make his wince-inducing jokes.

“If I didn’t drink, I wouldn’t be brave enough to say some of the things I’m going to say,” Gervais said.

He also blamed alcohol in a pre-emptive apology posted on Twitter last week: “Because I can see the future, I’d like to apologise now for the things I said at next week’s Golden Globes. I was drunk...”

After a 10-year ratings high

three years ago, the Golden Globes’ viewership has dipped slightly since, with an audience of 19.3 million tuning in last year.

That, though, is still very strong for the Golden Globes, which have worked to shed an image of eccentric selections made by a group of little-known international journalists. The Globes have instead grown into one of the most popular award show broadcasts of the year, thanks to increasingly credible nominees, its trademark relaxed atmosphere and its unique position as a major awards show that honors both film and television.

Netflix earned a leading eight nods on the TV side, where nominations are scattered across streaming services, broadcast and cable. Six shows come in tied for the most nominations with three: “Fargo,” ‘’Mr. Robot,” ‘’Outlander,” ‘’Transparent,” ‘’American Crime” and “Wolf Hall.”

Presenters at Sunday night’s Golden Globes will include Tom Hanks, Helen Mirren, Michael Keaton, Amy Adams, Kurt Russell, Lady Gaga, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Redmayne, Kate Hudson, Channing Tatum and Kate Bosworth. Also presenting will be Mel Gibson, who is returning to the Hollywood spotlight after keeping a low profile for almost a decade, following an explosive drunkendriving arrest and public cusKirsten Dunst flaunts a low-cut Valentino Haute Couture gown. tody dispute.

WVU secures 3-0 Big 12 start at home against Texas Tech

BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Hours after head coach Mike Carey was honored at WVU’s men’s basketball game for breaking his program’s all-time wins record, Carey and the rest of the West Virginia University women’s basketball team defeated the Texas Tech Lady Raiders, 79-57.

The Mountaineers (143, 3-1 Big 12) earned their third straight conference victory for the first time since the 2013-14 season, where the team went on to finish 16-2 in conference play.

While senior Bria Holmes led the team in scoring with 18 points and shot 63.6 percent from the field, it was a different face that served as a catalyst for the team’s offensive performance this time around.

Freshman Tynice Martin recorded 15 points, season-high five assists, five rebounds and two steals.

Thirteen of her points came in the first half, giving the Mountaineers a 3623 edge at halftime.

West Virginia remained undefeated when leading at halftime this season, improving its mark to 14-0.

The Lady Raiders were held to 15 points in the second and third quarters and fell to 0-4 in conference play. Ivonne CookTaylor led TTU in scoring with 20 points along with two steals.

WVU held Texas Tech’s guards to a combined 6-32 from the field, showing that the Mountaineer defense can thrive against the one and two positions.

The Mountaineer bench outscored the Lady Raider 42-12. The young depth on the bench gives Carey a lot to work with, even though at one point before the season Carey said he would not have hair by the end of the season because he was worried about the inexperience becoming a factor.

“A good thing about having players come off the bench is seeing who is playing well…we have some pieces that we didn’t have last year so you can bring a Tynice in,” Carey told wvusports.com.

“There (are) a lot of different combinations we can go with that we didn’t have in a couple of years.”

Everything seems to be clicking so far this season, as the team is off to its best conference start since the 2013-14 season.

Carey credits some of its success to the role players who seem to be adjusting well to the system.

“Arielle (Roberson) doesn’t worry about scoring. (She had) zero points but 11 rebounds… You got to have players willing to do the little things,” Carey said. “She’s one of those players that will do the little things and keeps us under control a lot.”

However, Carey acknowledged the team’s need to improve its rebounding.

“We gave up way too many offensive rebounds, if we do that against Baylor, we are in trouble,” Carey said. “If we don’t rebound against Baylor, they will just keep throwing it in until they make it and everyone will foul out.”

Defensive rebounding has been an issue with WVU dating back to last year, where the team allowed 37.8 rebounds per game. Although the mark has improved to 36.2 this year, it is the team’s Achilles heel, and Baylor is known for taking advantage of that aspect.

Holmes needs 28 more points to move past Kate Bulger for fourth all-time on the Mountaineer scoring list. The win against Texas Tech gave Carey his 599th career win over his entire coaching career.

WVU’s next game, against No. 6 Baylor on Tuesday, will be Carey’s first shot at No. 600. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU wins big in Big 12 home opener Saturday

BY CHRIS JACKSON SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Without Daxter Miles in the lineup, a trio of doubledigit scorers made sure the Mountaineers had no trouble easing past the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Saturday.

Jevon Carter, Jonathan Holton and Devin Williams all reached double-figures once again as the West Virginia University men’s basketball team (14-1, 3-0) is now 3-0 in the Big 12 for the first time in program history, dominating Oklahoma State, 77-60.

“It’s a start, but there’s more to our game,” Williams said. “There’s more to what we do, and if we just keep coming together the way we are, sharing the ball, being a presence on the inside, and if everything is just falling apart, we’ve just got to focus in and dial in just a little bit more and you never know. We could just keep it going as long as we

stay together.”

Saturday’s 16-point outing from Carter included a last-second jumper to end the first half, pushing WVU to a 38-26 lead heading into the locker room.

His 4-8 showing from long range propelled a backcourt without fellow sophomore starter Daxter Miles.

Miles missed a start for the first time in his collegiate career with a sprained ankle, replaced by a red-hot Jaysean Paige, who’s averaged 19.8 points per contest over the previous four games. Paige finished the afternoon with nine points, going 2-10 from the field.

The efforts from Paige included a 0-4 showing from three-point range, marking his lowest scoring total since a 7-point display in the Capital Classic rout of Marshall.

“He didn’t shoot it near as well,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “I don’t know if he was as active. I think he feels a little more comfortable now that he’s

come off the bench, and I think he’s a lot more comfortable doing that.”

But Jonathan Holton’s 15 points and nine rebounds highlighted one of the many dazzling displays from a Mountaineer, finishing just one rebound short of his fifth double-double this season.

Devin Williams added 16 points and nine rebounds, finishing one rebound short of a double-double for the third time this season. He’s one double-double behind Baylor’s Rico Gathers for the Big 12 lead (7).

The duo of Holton and Williams showed off how WVU has emerged as the nation’s top offensive rebounding team, finishing with an 18-to-8 advantage in that category. WVU’s numerous second chances led to them taking 15 more shots than Oklahoma State, resulting in 17 secondchance points.

“You look at how many more shots we got than them, that’s what offensive

rebounding does for us,” Huggins said. “It just gives us second opportunities, and that’s what the press is designed to do.”

With matchups against the nation’s top two teams in Kansas and Oklahoma coming throughout the next week, their seven-game winning streak has the Mountaineers brimming with momentum heading into the toughest stretch any college basketball team has faced this season.

Tuesday’s affair with No. 1 Kansas in Morgantown, sets up another landmark Big 12 event in the WVU Coliseum, with their last two meetings at home resulting in a pair of WVU victories.

“I’m just trying to soak this all up right now,” Williams said. “Stuff gets frustrating but most people don’t realize how much of an advantage it is, how much we should appreciate this.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

Early exits leave Mountaineers with big holes to fill

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @dJSTATMAN77

After its first eight-win season in the Big 12 era, the West Virginia University football team will have its depth tested after a number of key exits have depleted head coach, Dana Holgorsen’s, roster.

The Mountaineers already expected to lose eight defensive starters to graduation, but the early NFL Draft departures of star running back Wendell Smallwood and All-Big 12 cornerback Daryl Worley might have taken them by surprise.

Worley, who finished second in the Big 12 with six interceptions this season, announced that he was leaving for the NFL Draft just one day after West Virginia’s 4342 Cactus Bowl win over Arizona State. Worley was academically ineligible for the game after missing a deadline to get his classwork certified by the NCAA. Three days later, Wendell Smallwood, who led the Big 12 in rushing in a breakout junior season, declared his intention to leave school a year early and test the NFL waters. In November, Smallwood told reporters that he intended to return to West Virginia for his senior year.

“After serious consideration and much discussion with my family and my coaches, I have decided to declare myself for the 2016 NFL Draft,” Smallwood said in a statement released on his Twitter account. “All my life I’ve dreamed of competing on Sundays, and I believe the time is now to pursue that dream.”

than any other position next season, with three cornerbacks committed in the 2016 class: Jake Long and Sean Mahone, both of Ohio, and Jacquez Adams, who intended to begin his WVU career in 2015 but didn’t qualify academically.

They’ll be stepping in behind a totally revamped defensive front, missing nose tackle Kyle Rose, leading pass-rusher Noble Nwachukwu, star “spur” KJ Dillon and the highly productive linebacker trio of Nick

Kwiatkoski, Jared Barber and Shaq Petteway.

But as the Mountaineers looked forward to 2016, they could take solace that almost every piece of their developing offense was returning – at least until Smallwood declared for the draft.

Smallwood’s unexpected departure hands the keys to the WVU rushing attack to rising senior Rushel Shell, West Virginia’s leading rusher in 2014 and Smallwood’s No. 2 man last

season.

A Pitt transfer, Shell battled inconsistency throughout his junior season, but ended up with 708 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 161 rushing attempts. The Mountaineers will be counting on a breakout year from Shell to boost their running game, as quarterback Skyler Howard continues to build his rapport with a growing receiving corps. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

WVU starts 2016 with home split in Backyard Brawl

WVU’s Andrew Marsh and Ross Glegg leap into the pool in October against Marshall.

BY ROGER TURNER SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The WVU men’s swimming and diving team began the New Year in the WVU Natatorium with a win on Saturday, defeating Pitt in Backyard Brawl rivalry action.

Saturday’s win for the Mountaineer men’s team marked its first win against Pitt since 2011. WVU dominated the Panthers in the annual rivalry, winning 180.5 to 119.5 and posting 12 first-place finishes.

“We came out very

strong and seized the moment,” said WVU head coach Vic Riggs. “We knew it was going to take a total effort to win the men’s meet, and both teams did a great job. From the start to the end, the desire was there and we never let up.”

Senior Andrew Marsh picked up right where he left off in the fall, leading the way for the men’s team with four victories. Marsh recorded his first victory of the day in the men’s 100 backstroke, winning with a time of 49.65. Marsh later claimed first place in the men’s 100 freestyle, 100 fly

and in the 400 free relay which also featured WVU swimmers Ross Glegg, Merwane El Merini, and Frank Csonka.

The men’s team got off to a great start, claiming first-place in the 200 medley relay event, in which Daniel Rodriguez, Max Spencer, Frank Csonka and Merwane El Merini finished with a time of 1:32.18.

“Having our 200 medley relay win the first event set the tone and got us going,” Riggs said. “It was a total team effort and I’m really happy for the men.”

The WVU women’s team was also in competition on Saturday but was defeated 188 to 111 by the Panthers.

Four seniors stamped firstplace finishes in this year’s Backyard Brawl, including Lindsay Schmidt on the springboard. Schmidt won the 3-meter board event to follow up Courtney Miller’s first win of the day for the women’s team, which came in the 100 backstroke.

“The women swam extremely well, and we had many season-best times,” Riggs commented. “We did get away a bit from our

race strategies and may have been a bit cautious in some of our races.”

Natalie Johnsen notched a win for the women in the 200 fly, and Jaimee Gilmore won the 50 freestyle event to give the Mountaineers four wins on the day.

Sophomore Amelie Currat came in second behind Miller in the 100 backstroke, touching the wall in 57.56. The women’s team dominated Pitt in the 200 fly event, finishing 1-2-3; Mackenzie Braden placed second behind Johnsen, and Kelsey Frantz

came in third with a time of 2:09.39. Schmidt also added a second-place finish on the 1-meter springboard event.

“It is a special opportunity to win, and it’s even better when it’s against Pitt,” Riggs said. “I know this is something they will remember for a long time.”

The WVU men and women’s teams will travel to Fort Worth, Texas, to face-off against TCU on Saturday. Events are scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

GYMNASTICS

Mountaineers start season in third-place at Denver

BY JOHNNA HERBIG SPORTS CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University gymnastics team opened its 2016 season in Denver, Colorado over winter break.

WVU competed against Denver University and Southern Utah University in a tri-meet, held inside the Hamilton Gymnasium on Jan. 9.

WVU finished last in the tri-meet, with a score

of 193.65. Denver won the match at home scoring 195.375, and Southern Utah followed closely behind them in second place with a score of 194.100.

“This was not the score we wanted, but now we know where we need to improve, and we will bounce back,” said WVU head coach Jason Butts in an interview with WVUSports.com.

The Mountaineers received third place rankings in uneven bars, beam and floor but were able to gain

a second place score on the vault.

“I thought we competed scared tonight until we got to vault in the fourth rotation,” Butts said. “I was surprised by that, but it’s our first meet, and sometimes nerves happen. The skills are there, and there are certainly bright spots on each event.

We just need to go back to Cary Gym and practice under more pressure.”

This was the first match Denver has competed in since recently joining the Big

12 as an affiliate member.

“We’ve put all the training in, and we’ve done all the hard work,” said senior gymnast Melissa Idell. “This is just the time to have fun and show the West Virginia show.”

Junior Alexa Goldberg managed a career-high, all-around score of 38.975, good enough for third place in that event.

Mountaineer senior Audrey Tolbert also notched a career-high score, landing her in 10th place.

During the match, Goldberg and sophomore Zaakira Muhammad tied for third place on the uneven bars.

In the fourth rotation, Muhammad was able to get a fourth-place rank on the vault, with a 9.825 score.

“You could tell Alexa wanted it tonight,” Butts said. “I was really impressed with the way she carried herself.”

The Mountaineers will be back at home next Sunday against New Hampshire

University. The theme for the match will be “Beauty and the Beast,” and will be accompanied by a wrestling meet against Oklahoma.

This will be “Poster Day,” allowing fans to pick up the 2016 gymnastics poster, which has the team’s schedule on it.

Also, face paintings and balloon creations will be offered by Mr. Twister.

The match will be held at 4 p.m. in the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Virginia to avenge their season-opening losses to Alabama back in September.

Eric Keefe helped the Mountaineers get off to a fast start in the first game against the Crimson Tide, scoring two goals in the first period to put his team ahead at the first intermission 2-1. After a scoreless second period, Alabama managed to score an equalizing goal with six minutes left in the third period.

Alec Hnat broke the deadlock in favor of the Mountaineers to make it 3-2, but less than a minute later, Alabama’s Jake Collins scored his second goal of the game to send the game to overtime.

Both teams had a number of chances to secure the victory in the overtime period, but stout goaltending by both sides sent the game

to a shootout.

Neither team was able to score on their first three shootout opportunities, until James Murray beat Alabama goaltender Jack Safford on the fourth chance, and West Virginia goaltender Ryan Wickiser saved the Tide’s ensuing equalizing opportunity. The win marked the first time all season that the Mountaineers won consecutive road games.

The second game was all Alabama, as the Crimson Tide had seven different goal scorers, led by two goals from John Moeller.

Keefe continued his hot scoring streak as he finished with a goal and an assist for West Virginia.

Poor defending and goaltending cost the Mountaineers. After Keefe’s second period goal cut the deficit

to 3-2, the Tide rattled off five straight goals to put the game away for good.

A bright spot in the loss for the Mountaineers was the strong attacking play of Murray, as he assisted on all three of his team’s goals.

Riley Horvath and Vince Fornes also tallied goals for West Virginia.

The Mountaineers were unable to capitalize on any of their eight power play opportunities. JP Sawyer added an assist for West Virginia to add to his teamleading total of 27 points on the season.

The Mountaineers play again this weekend with two home games against the Syracuse Orange at 9:30 p.m., Friday and 4 p.m., on Saturday at the Morgantown Ice Arena.
