Energy land management major approved by BOG by christie carroza correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Excitement is arising in the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design at West Virginia University.

Students will be able to register for classes in the new energy land management program for the Spring 2015 semester.

The WVU Board of Governors approved the program on Friday. This Bachelor of Science degree is one of only 10 programs in North America accredited by the American Association of Professional Landmen.

Shawn Grushecky, a leading coordinator of the ELM program, said students enrolled in this program will gain handson experience in the energy field.

“This is a great way to train students interested in this area as they’ll be working with people they could potentially be working for in the future,” Grushecky said.

“We have a very dedicated industry advisory board at this time who has also communicated their need for student interns. As the program grows, the internship aspect will help set our students apart and give them

a competitive advantage when they seek permanent employment.”

ELM is a four year program that will be taught through general business and economics courses, as well as nine new classes designed to amplify knowledge in this area of study. A few of the new courses provided are: Intro to Land Management, Ethics and Negotiation and Strategic Planning.

In completion of this program, students will have acquired skills to succeed in the industrial fields of oil, natural gas, coal and renewable energy sectors. The University might offer this program as a minor, depending on the success of the major.

Responsibilities of energy land managers include determining the ownership of surface and subsurface rights, negotiation contracts and leases, coordinating field exploration activities, serving as a liaison, and ensuring communal and environmental quality during energy development.

The Greenhouse Cafe, da Vinci’s open as new dining options on Evansdale by taylor mcsorely staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Two new dining options are now available for West Virginia University students on the Evansdale campus.

Da Vinci’s is located on the first floor of the Evansdale library and The Greenhouse Cafe is on the first floor of the new Student Health and Education Building.

“We wanted to do a cafe like Eliza’s for students to have a place to get snacks and sandwiches to feed their hungry brains while at the library, and the Evansdale library went one step further,” said Jay Capron, a WVU Dining Services business manager. “Da Vinci’s has all their food produced in the building on site. This makes it much more convenient for students to get fresh food, and now we can do more custom orders.”

At da Vinci’s, there is a wide variety of foods, such as snacks, ready made sandwiches and also made to order sandwiches. The cafe also offers numerous beverages as well as an espresso bar.

The Greenhouse Cafe has an alternative dining experience Johnnie Armes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM and not only offers snacks and sandwiches, but also freshly The Greenhouse Cafe offers healthy dining alternatives. It can be found in the new made smoothies. Students can choose from an assortment of Student Health and Education Building. fresh fruits and vegetables available to have a smoothie made.

Both da Vinci’s and The Greenhouse Cafe accept Mountie Bounty, Dining Dollars, cash and meal plan. This is the same concept that dining halls use but more along the lines of a grab-and-go. The combination includes an entree, sides and a beverage.

“We reached out to students to see what their requests were, and they really wanted a non-traditional eatery,” CapLove it! ron said. “My idea of a plan for these cafes is for them to keep Could be better. being dynamic locations and changing as the customer’s requests change.”

Demonstrator Joni Johnson participates in a march towards Wall Street from Battery Park to protest for action on climate change and corporate greed Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) — A day after over 100,000 people marched to warn that climate change is destroying the Earth, more than 1,000 activists blocked parts of Broadway in Manhattan’s financial district in a sit-in to protest what they see as corporate and economic institutions’ role in the climate crisis.

Monday’s demonstration was planned as a more confrontational sequel to Sunday’s march, with many participants Monday deliberately risking arrest by obstructing traffic in the heart of the nation’s financial capital. At least three people were arrested, and the protest took a tense turn as the demonstrators tried to push past police barricades at Wall Street, sparking a brief clash with officers.

But by and large, police, office workers and tourists watched alike as the activists chanted such messages as “we can’t take this climate heat; we’ve got to shut down Wall Street” and bounced huge balloons meant to represent carbon dioxide bubbles.

“I wanted to come specifically to disrupt Wall Street because it’s Wall Street that’s fueling this,” Youngstown, Ohio, urban farmer and bread-maker Ben Shapiro said as he sat on Broadway by the famed bull statue. He had skipped Sunday’s march, focusing instead on the financial system that he feels enables environmental destruction for the sake of energy and other industries.

“I’m going after the source of the problem,” he said.

Organizers said the FloodWallStreet sit-in aimed to disrupt business in the financial district.

Demonstrators didn’t obtain a permit for the rally, police said, and participants such as Jenna DeBoisblanc arrived anticipating arrests as a way to underscore their message.

“If you’re willing to risk arrest, it certainly demonstrates that it’s something very urgent,” said DeBoisblanc, a New Orleans environmental activist who sported a superhero outfit and green wig.

For Matt Elder, growing up hundreds of miles away in Boca Raton, Fla. never stopped him from bleeding gold and blue, and it certainly won’t stop him from trying his best to become the next Homecoming King.

Elder, a marketing student at WVU, is very involved with his fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, as well as Mountaineer Athletics.

“I am the Pi Kappa Alpha recruitment chair,” Elder said.

“I also work with the athletic department in sports marketing and I am the assistant director for the Mountaineer Maniacs.”

Elder has looked forward to the day he could attend WVU his entire life. He grew up watching Mountaineer games and attended a few bowl games.

Now, he can finally be a part of the WVU community.

With this being his last year in Morgantown, he plans to soak in every moment. It is this attitude that brought him to the

Matt Elder Homecoming Court.

“I thought that it would be a lot of fun. Anytime that I can represent the school, it is something that I want to do,” Edler said. “Walking out on Mountaineer Field and seeing everyone really motivated me. Working with the Maniacs and always being involved around the athletics, it just felt like something that was a good fit for me, something that I would enjoy to put time and effort into.”

Elder has always been known as a huge Mountaineer fan, often going by the name “Mountaineer Matt.”

Now, he is ready to see if he’ll be known as the Homecoming King.

For Bria Cross, fall is a time to prepare for dance team, start studying again for her elementary education major and get back with her sorority sisters. This year, however, she has one additional event added to her schedule: Run for Homecoming Queen.

Cross, a Wheeling, W.Va. native, is no stranger to the many activities West Virginia University has to offer.

She has dedicated a lot of her time as a Mountaineer to the arts and athletic departments by being active with the dance team and dance program.

“I tried out my freshman year for the dance team.

We dance at all of the home basketball games, men and women. It’s really fun, sometimes we get tackled by basketball players,” Cross said, “but it’s always really exciting.”

Cross’ major also plays a big part in her experience here at WVU, as she loves being able to work with children.

“I am really involved in my major,” Cross said. “I student teach every week in the local

schools. It makes me a part of the community.”

On top of everything else, Cross is also a sister of the Delta Gamma sorority. This gives her the chance to participate in several fundraisers and community service opportunities as well as create lasting relationships with her sisters.

It was actually because of Delta Gamma that Cross knew she wanted to run for Homecoming Queen.

“I actually helped one of the girls in Delta Gamma my freshman year for when she was campaigning and it was a lot of fun, and she got to meet a lot of new people and so did I,” Cross said. “I

Man seen with UVa student faces driving charge CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A man believed to be the last person seen with a University of Virginia student before she disappeared was being sought on arrest warrants charging him with reckless driving, a police chief said Sunday, adding authorities also want to ask him about the missing teen.

Virginia State Police have issued warrants for Jesse Matthew on a charge of misdemeanor reckless driving, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said at a news conference Sunday. Matthew has not been charged in the disappearance of 18-year-old Hannah Graham, who was last seen early on Sept. 13 in Charlottesville.

Longo said police want to talk to Matthew, who was seen with Graham before she disappeared.

“I believe Jesse Matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the Earth because it’s been a

week and we can’t find her,” Longo said.

“I’ve made no mistake about it. We want to talk to Jesse Matthew. We want to talk to him. We want to talk to him about his interaction with this sweet, young girl we can’t find,” Longo said.

Longo said Matthew had stopped by the Charlottesville Police Department’s station on Saturday with several family members and asked for a lawyer. He was provided with a lawyer but left in a vehicle, driving at a high rate of speed that endangered other drivers, according to the police chief. He said Matthew was there for about an hour.

Virginia State Police spokeswoman said in an email late Sunday that State Police officers were conducing “surveillance” of the vehicle at the time but didn’t pursue Matthew.

Police said they have focused on Graham’s movements the night of Sept. 12 and into the early morning hours of Sept. 13. Graham, a sophomore from northern Virginia, met friends at a restaurant for dinner, stopped by two parties at off-campus housing units and left the second party alone, police have said.

Sur veillance videos showed her walking, and at some points running, past a pub and a service station and then onto the Downtown Mall, a seven-block pedestrian strip lined with shops and restaurants.

“Somebody’s gotta know where she is and we want to know who that person or persons are,” Longo said.

“I don’t want to get tunnel vision just because we have a name, just because we saw her with a particular person,” he said.

Graham’s parents appeared at the news conference and her father, John Graham, appealed for anyone with any information to call a police tip line.

“This is every parent’s worst nightmare,” John Graham said. “We need to find out what happened to Hannah and make sure it happens to no one else.”

More than 1,000 volunteers participated in a weekend search for Hannah Graham, according to authorities.

Graham’s disappearance has sent a ripple of fear through the quiet college town of Charlottesville. Students have said they’ve begun walking in pairs at night and are paying closer attention to their surroundings.

At least three other young women have disappeared in the area in the last five years, though police have said they do not think Graham’s disappearance is linked to that of any of the other missing women.

The university president, Teresa A. Sullivan, issued a statement Sunday saying the university was committed to helping authorities in the search for the missing woman and “return her safely to her family.”

“We are cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities as they continue their investigation,” the emailed statement added.

Broadway’s ‘Lion King’ wows audiences NEW YORK (AP) — Here’s something the folks at Disney can take real pride in: “The Lion King” is the top ticket of all time.

With a worldwide gross of over $6.2 billion, “The Lion King” stage musical has now achieved the most successful box office total of any work in any media in entertainment history, The Associated Press has learned.

The show quietly took over top spot from the $6 billion-earning “The Phantom of the Opera” late this summer, according to representatives from both shows. “Phantom” producers Cameron Mackintosh and The Really Useful Group congratulated “The Lion King” in a statement, calling their rival show “The Pride of Broadway.”

The total makes “The Lion King” more valuable than any single Harry Potter film, the blockbuster “Titanic,” or any of the “Star Wars” movies. By way of comparison, the highest-grossing film in history is “Avatar,” with nearly $2.8 billion worldwide.

“It’s difficult not to become emotional at this realization of the show’s impact,” said Thomas Schumacher, president and producer at Disney Theatrical Productions.

He recalled the long road the musical has taken from its beginning in four downtown rehearsal rooms in May 1997.

“Our goal then was to tell the story purely and theatrically so that audiences could feel it in their heart,” he added. “And, to this day, that is the audience experience whether they see the show in Madrid; Appleton, Wisconsin; South Africa; Tokyo or Broadway. Of that, we are deeply proud.”

The figure only calculates box office receipts from the various world-

The character Rafiki performed a pivotal part of ‘The Lion King’ on Broadway. wide stage productions, not sales of posters or CDs and other merchandise, revenue from the film, which grossed $423 million domestically, including its rereleased in 3D, or syndication and licensing fees. Currently, there are 10 productions of “The Lion King,” including those in New York, London, in Hamburg, Germany, and on tour across North America.

There’s no need to cry for “The Phantom of the Opera.” It’s still the longestrunning show in Broadway history and 140 million worldwide have seen it. There are currently eight productions with new ones planned for Moscow, Hong Kong and Istanbul.

“The Lion King,” which features music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice and the vision of director Julie Taymor, was an adaption of an animated film when it hit the stage but has in many ways overshadowed the film. It tells the story of a young lion

cub’s coming of age and uses puppetry and dance in ways that haven’t been replicated.

It was the highest grossing Broadway show last year and is the highestgrossing production so far this year, despite rival shows in five bigger theaters and musicals like “The Book of Mormon” often charging hundreds of dollars more per ticket.

Part of its longevity is due to its movie tie-in, simple-to-understand story, family friendly themes and the fact that it’s a spectacle not dependent on bigname stars. Twenty-two global productions have been seen by more than 75 million people.

“The Lion King” chased down the overall box office crown despite “Phantom” having a big head start: Disney’s show began on Broadway in 1997, while “Phantom” debuted onstage in 1986 in London.

“It’s the distance runner, it’s the marathon runner.

It’s taken 17 years of legitimacy to get there,” said David Schrader, executive vice president and managing director at Disney Theatrical Group.

What makes the achievement all the more remarkable is that Disney executives haven’t gouged every last cent from the public.

In fact, they’ve purposely left money on the table.

Last week, for example, the average ticket price at “The Lion King” was $128, while “The Book of Mormon” was $50 more. And while top premium tickets for “The Book of Mormon” was $477 and $300 for “Wicked,” the highest price at “The Lion King” was $197.50, illustrating a conscious attempt to keep even the best seats in the house under $200.

“We’re never going to be the top price. We’re never going to have the highest VIP price. We’re never going to have the highest orchestra price,” said Schrader “We’re not in this for tomorrow after-

noon. We’re in it for however many years we’ve got. We’re trying to be moderate.”

The other half of the equation - attendance - is also strong. It has increased four of the last five years on Broadway, the London production has seen a 6 percent increase in attendance over the last five years, and the latest North American tour has seen an 11 percent increase over the same period.

Both “Phantom” and “The Lion King” have benefited from the emergence of premium - or dynamic pricing, although the Disney musical has obviously enjoyed more seasons using the tactic. It involves increasing or decreasing prices for certain seats depending on demand and started with the 2001 musical “The Producers,” which set a precedent with $480 tickets.

At the mother ship in New York, Schrader said the Broadway audience is made up of four key groups

in roughly equal proportions: Manhattan residents, commuters from the New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, domestic tourists and foreign tourists.

“There’s no way you get to 17 years without somehow holding all four,” he said.

Clever advertising like using digital screens to show crisp images of brightly costumed characters at Pennsylvania Station and the city’s airports - and a scrupulous attempt to maintain its high quality onstage mean “The Lion King” hasn’t devolved in to a kids’ show or a joke.

It still attracts a wellheeled crowd, routinely breaks $1 million a week at the 1,700-seat Minskoff Theatre and Disney has been loath to ever discount its tickets.

“If anything, the lack of change is what’s remarkable,” Schrader said. “Everything erodes, everything comes apart. So the fact that it hasn’t is curious.”

Schrader spends much of his days poring over audience data, figuring out demand patterns based on historical trends, school holidays and even weather forecasts.

He knows that 6 percent of a Broadway audience is from the Philadelphia metro area. He knows that daylight savings time will “inevitably” mess up schedules. He’ll add a ninth performance during a holiday week but balances that with a need to not overtax the cast.

“I love puzzles,” he says with a smile.

But of “The Lion King’s remarkable l o n g e vity and continued potency, Schrader is modest about how much effect he has. “I wish we could take credit, but it’s the audience and it’s the wordof-mouth that’s driving it.”

Chris Brown looks to make better decisions, talks past albums BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

(AP) — Chris Brown celebrated his 25th birthday in jail last May by making his own “spread cake”: chocolate, peanut butter, bread and milk.

“Mix it up in a little cereal bowl and let it sit for a little while. It comes out and you’ve got a nice little cake,” Brown said, laughing. “A couple of the homies taught me how to do it.”

Accustomed to the high life since he became an R&B star at 16, Brown was brought low by his three months in lockup.

He emerged last June determined not to slide back into his old ways. Jail had changed things.

“I’ve always reneged on a lot of my situations.

But I think that’s a part of growing up and learning.

For me, now I have a better sense of what’s important - being that I was incarcerated, being that I’ve had the bad stuff happen to me,” he said in an interview. “You can’t continuously mess up. You’re not going to get that many chances. I’m not saying by my peers, but I’m just saying by God in general. For me and my spirit, I just

want to be able to have some peace, be able to chill and do what I love because I was blessed with this opportunity and this talent, so I don’t want to waste it.”

Brown - a brilliant dancer and talented singer who is among the most electrifying young performers - presents himself as a maturing artist who recognizes past mistakes.

He’s in court-ordered twice-a-week therapy. He trimmed his entourage from 30 people to single digits. He ended simmering feuds, including one with rapper-singer Drake.

His sixth album, “X,” released last week, includes plenty of sex- and party-focused songs, yes, but also reflective and heartfelt lyrics that acknowledge and take responsibility for his struggles.

Sitting in his publicist’s office a day after his album was released, Brown smiled easily and seemed eager to show that he had turned a corner - but acknowledged he still has room to grow.

“Sometimes you’ve got to touch the stove to see that it’s hot. And I’m one of those guys that does that

all of the time,” he said.

“Sometimes I might be my own worst enemy. I’m not always going to make the right decision.”

He was quick to criticize the series of angry outbursts that culminated in an incident in Washington, D.C., last October when he punched a man who tried to get into a picture Brown was taking with two women. That led eventually to a jail sentence for violation of his probation, instituted after he was convicted of the infamous 2009 pre-Grammy Awards attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna.

“At first I went mentally into being aggressive, and being totally like unapproachable with situations because I didn’t feel comfortable with myself living my life, as far as whatever mistakes I made, because I was constantly being judged,” he said. Now, Brown said he recognizes, “I’m an entertainer. And I influence a lot of people, young and older. ... Before, I was out of hand. So I think now it’s time to grow up.”

Gail Mitchell, senior correspondent covering hip-hop and R&B at Bill-

board magazine, said the Grammy winner has a reputation as a “studio rat,” recording and collaborating constantly with his peers.

She interviewed Brown for a cover story after he got out of jail.

“I think he needed a wake-up call and maybe that’s what it was, maybe that’s what it took,” she said. “I don’t think there’s any shame in that.”

Brown said he feels a kinship with Justin Bieber, 20, another pop star whose once-immaculate image has been sullied by repeated public bad behavior.

“Growing up in the public eye, being younger with all of the success girls, money, everything - it can get to your head real fast. ... I was arrogant, cocky, thought I was invincible at one point,” Brown said. “We don’t get the benefit of growing up behind the camera. We don’t get the benefit of making our mistakes and nobody hears about it.”

The question now is whether Brown can avoid further mistakes.

Pink Floyd releases ‘The Endless River’ NEW YORK (AP) — Pink Floyd’s new album will arrive on Nov. 10.

A Monday news release gives fresh details about “The Endless River,” the British rock `n’ roll group’s first new material in 20 years.

The 18-song double album features band members David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright, who died in 2008.

Roger Waters left the group in 1985 and isn’t involved.

The album was assembled from 20 hours of ma-

terial recorded during the band’s 1993 sessions for “The Division Bell.”

Gilmour says in the release that the band “added new parts, rerecorded others and generally harnessed studio technology to make a 21st-century Pink Floyd album.”

founder Suge Knight at a Brown-hosted party last month. Does trouble simply follow Brown, no matter what?

“It’s 50-50. You could say that trouble follows me. And you could also say I create my own trouble,” he said. He mostly sticks to throwing house parties lately but, “I’m not in control of going to a club and it getting shot up.”

Brown has been able to climb pop charts despite legal trouble: “Loyal” peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 while Brown was jailed. The rude, flippant song was the fourth single from “X” to be released. Brown said he was surprised at its success.

“It’s my version of TLC’s `No Scrubs,’” he said. “It just goes to show that sometimes when you put out a super big record with substance, that’s not the key all the time. Some-

times you want to just put a record out there that might be disrespectful, just have fun.”

Brown’s album was released at a time of increased public discussion about domestic violence following TMZ’s release of video showing NFL star Ray Rice punching out his then-fiancee in an elevator. The singer said he accepts that he’ll be linked with the issue for the foreseeable future.

“There could be a million other celebrities who were in the same situation, but because of the highprofile case and whatever it is, they’re going to always automatically associate myself with it,” he said. “When the media associates me, it’s to do a bigger message. It’s to show the world and raise awareness for it and definitely show that it’s not OK.”

It’s that time of year again.

Homecoming is just around the corner, and the Homecoming Court has been carefully selected. Each day this week, one King and one Queen candidate will be presented in our news section. Many students believe Homecoming Court is a club for internal admiration, a popularity contest if you will. There has probably been some truth to that statement over the years, but when you look at the candidates and their platforms, you’ll notice most of them are proud of being associated with West Virginia University and all it stands for.

A few weeks ago, WVU made the decision to do away with having students vote for Homecoming King and Queen and the dismission of campaigning, without getting any student input on the matter.

The Student Government Association then confronted the issue, and was able to get these rights back for the student body. We wanted it, we got it.

So here’s the deal: Get out there and vote. Why fight for rights like these and not

On Aug. 28, the West Virginia State Chamber of Commerce sponsored a U.S. Senate candidates’ debate at the exclusive Greenbrier Resort, but only invited establishment favorites Shelley Moore Capito and Natalie Tennant. It was openly stated then that “third party” candidates were not invited. Constitution Party nominee Phil Hudok drove down anyway, paid the steep admission fee to spectate and spoke personally with Moore and Tennant who both told him that they agreed that all candidates should be included. This had been confirmed two weeks earlier by Hoppy Kercheval on his MetroNews radio program, http://downloads.hudok.com/hoppy_08_15_14. mp3, where he planned the new October debate, scheduled for Charleston, live on the air with fellow talk show host Howard Monroe.

But again, the sponsoring organizations of this second “debate” are openly excluding the other three ballotqualified nominees. Considering that in the 2010 open U.S. Senate race to replace

the late Robert C. Byrd, four candidates, myself included, were invited to a televised debate and in 2012, the Mountain Party’s Bob Baber debated on TV, this recent decision makes absolutely no logical sense. On March 3 of this year, and more than five months before being recognized by the WVSOS as an official candidate, Kercheval interviewed Hudok on his show and gave a fair and balanced interview, at that time obviously recognizing that Phil is a viable candidate. This can be found at http://downloads.hudok. com/Interview_3_3_14112kbps.mp3.

October debate sponsor AARP said that their broadcast goal is to present a debate that “provides all voters with as much information as possible about candidate issues.”

How can they expect to achieve that when more than half of the candidates are barred from the discussion?

The Constitution, Libertarian and Mountain parties have their own unique issue positions which are certainly of interest to many of our state’s voters. All three parties have an active political history here over the past several decades.

Additionally, the AARP said that they want to “make sure that candidates address the issues important to older voters ...” By excluding the majority of candidates in this race from a public television venue, the only other way that voters have to learn about these under-funded campaigns is via the Internet - something which many older voters do not use. Interestingly, Hudok turned 64 years old in February and is a retired teacher, Baber is 63 years old and Libertarian John Buckley is 61 years old and also retired. All three men are older than Capito and Tennant. Who better to address the concerns of our seniors than the most senior candidates?

The most important role of the media in our political process is to inform citizens so that they are able to make educated voting choices.

The West Virginia Press Association, also a sponsor of this event, just announced its slate of new officers and directors. I implore them to heed the actual preferences of our congresswoman and Secretary of State and rectify this situation by inviting all five candidates to this year’s U.S. Senate debate. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

COMMENTARY

Cold calzones: Biting into social change with hope jake jarvis managing editor @jakejarviswvu

I love D.P. Dough. I love it so much I order it at least twice a week.

Each time I do I get a hot calzone that is the same delicious quality I’ve come to expect. One time, however, my calzone was cold.

Every time since, I’ve worried that I’ll get another cold calzone.

It’s the same for apples: One bad apple ruins the bunch.

Why? How can one experience shape the rest of our understanding of something?

Monday, West Virginia University had a visitor in the Free Speech Circle.

This zone gets many visitors each year, and students have come to expect it.

However, this is a great time to remember that one

bitchspot.jadedragononline.com

bad apple shouldn’t ruin the bunch.

Maybe for some, the visitor was the good apple and I’m the bad apple.

No matter how you look

at it, there’s always going to be a thorn in your side.

If you’ve read any of my previous columns you’ll know I consider myself a

social justice warrior. I’m the crazy liberal you were warned about before coming to college.

Many positive things have happened this year.

Emma Watson gave a brilliant speech about including men in the fight for gender equality, many states have won the right for people to marry who they want regardless of a person’s gender and West Virginia University is gearing up to host its annual Diversity Week next week.

Already this week, I have felt overwhelmed with a loss of hope for humanity. Whether it’s because of misogynists, crazy preachers, stories of date rape or structural racism, I feel like I’m losing the fight this week. And you might feel that way, too.

This is a friendly reminder that an extremist in one group does not signify an average for the entire group.

In the march to equality, there will always be those who kick and scream and want to stay in the dark

ages. These people are the cold calzones of the world. They are the bad apples.

When you care about making the world a better place, you tend to swallow a couple of worms and bite into a cold calzone from time to time.

But that’s OK. I wish I had more advice to give rather than just saying “suck it up,” but that’s all I’ve got.

If you love something enough, you look past the bad apple. As for my love of D.P. Dough – I ordered a calzone right after I wrote this.

To all you other social justice warriors: Hang in there. We’re working hard for very important causes.

If the orchard ends up a better place, I guess we can put up with a few sour apples. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

Simple steps on how to survive as an out-of-state student Rawan AbuShaban The Daily Californian uc berkeley

For some of us, moving away from our homes and families to become an outof-state student may seem daunting. For others, it’s an exciting opportunity to reinvent themselves.

Everybody has their own opinion about their decision to spend the next four years in a new place, but every out-ofstate student has to face the same challenges that come with it.

One of the greatest immediate difficulties for most out-of-state students is readjusting and getting to know the area and learning to be a local. Where am I? What’s the culture like? What’s in fashion? How’s the weather like? What sports teams should you root for? And why do people keep saying “hella?”

First, explore. You’ll have plenty of time to familiarize yourself with your university campus, so take the time to wander about your neighborhood. Which restaurants look good? Which streets are well-lit at night, and which look shady? Don’t be hesitant to use public transpor-

DA

tation - just bring a map (or better yet, use Google Maps).

Become a tourist. Once you build a mental atlas of your surroundings, it’ll be easy to navigate and move from place to place.

In a few weeks, you’ll be proud of yourself when somebody stops and asks you directions - not only do you give them flawless, detailed answers, but your apparent mastery of the local infrastructure will make you look like a native!

Second, branch out. Make some friends. A great way to find friends is to sign up for a million student groups until you find the ones you feel the most comfortable in - you’ll be sure to find loads of other students with the same interests as you.

Out-of-state students often find it difficult to make friends in college communities where it seems like everybody knew each other from high school. It’s time to stop being a noob and start mingling with the natives.

Take a guide along on one of your adventures. Their insight is crucial to building a good understanding of your new environment, complete with restaurant reviews, housing recommendations and detailed explanations of

Tourists in San Francisco ride the cable car system as they view the surroundings. the vernacular expressions you have yet to use properly in conversation.

Most of all, you should aim to strengthen your relationships. A few months into college and you’ve started to feel like you belong. You recognize buildings and street names, and you know which sports jerseys to take pride in and which to hate with a fiery passion.

November comes along,

and you’re faced with the bitterness of the nostalgic holiday that reminds you home: Thanksgiving. Some of us are lucky enough to spend Thanksgiving weekend at home, feasting on turkey dinner, gathered around the TV watching football, or sitting in PJs just relishing the company of family. However, not all of us can expect this luxury.

Hopefully, by this time

you’ve already made some pretty good friends. Don’t be shy to accept the invitation to a friend’s for Thanksgiving dinner! It’ll be a fantastic opportunity to bond, and you might end up having a home away from home.

Once you overcome this obstacle dreaded by all outof-state students, you’ll be home-free until winter break, when you’ll hopefully return to your family and impress

them with all the cool stories you have about your life.

Don’t worry, things will get better. You’ll meet interesting people, try new things, explore new places, discover yourself, and build lasting relationships with friends who will stick with you every step of the way.

Who knows - next time the holiday season rolls around, you might not even want to go home.

Daphne Lee Martin, others perform Morgantown Sound

By Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @dailyathenaeum

U92’s weekly live show, Morgantown Sound, featured three different performances on Monday.

First on stage was Daphne Lee Martin.

The singer and songwriter, now on her third album, has had her music played on the station for quite some time.

Daphne has been interested in music since a young age.

“I was just one of those little kids who ran around singing all of the time,” Martin said.

Her mother, a music lover, encouraged Martin to pursue her interest, even starting a family band with her.

Martin’s love of music continued throughout her childhood and into her teenage years.

“When I was about 14 to 15, I started writing songs,” Martin said.

She humorously admits her first songs in her teenage years weren’t the best. How-

Now, Martin splits her time throughout the year.

She owns a vinyl record shop with her husband and works there for a little more than half the year. The other five months, she travels on tour performing her music.

Martin draws inspiration from a wide variety of sources. She cites Tom Waits as having the biggest influence on her writing style.

Her musical style is influenced primarily by old country. She is classified as cabaret pop, but doesn’t like the idea of artists being pigeonholed into specific categories.

“I like any artist who pushes the boundaries between genres,” Martin said.

“I don’t like getting stuck in a rut.”

This is evident by her jazzy, bluesy and folksy sound.

Next on stage, was the

ning was Pocket Vinyl.

This two-person group features performance art.

Eric Stevenson, the male half of the duo, brought his musical chops to the group.

He is the band’s vocalist, keyboardist and songwriter.

Elizabeth Jancewicz, the female half, self-reportedly lacks in musical talent, but more than makes up for it with her skills in the graphic arts.

While Stevenson rocks out on his keyboard, playing music inspired by the thousands of songs on his iPod, Jancewicz paints a picture on stage.

The resulting act gave the audience a distinctive experience.

“We find it nice to have the visual aspect,” Jancewicz said. “To keep people engaged.”

Taking Back Sunday comes back with new music, mature sound Ashley DeNardo A&E EDITOR @amdenardo

««««« On March 18, Taking Back Sunday released their sixth studio album, “Happiness Is…” The album begins with a chilling preface that starts simple and becomes more chaotic as it progresses.

The violin sets the mood of what is to come. It runs right into the start of “Flicker, Fade.”

“Flicker, Fade” comes off as heavy, at first, with a hardcore guitar intro, but settles into calm verses about still loving someone despite having plenty of reasons not to and dishonesty in the relationship. In the chorus, the changes in Adam Lazzara’s voice are more evident than ever.

This isn’t a bad thing.

His voice has become grittier with a deeper tone. Lazzara’s blossoming vocals flow with the more developed, mature ideas in the latest album.

Compared to past albums, the men of Taking Back Sunday present

a softer side that is sentimental to the young boys that used to make up the group.

“Stood a Chance” is track three on the album.

While it has qualities of the band’s new sound, it maintains the band’s signature vocal style.

The song presents underlying themes of being stuck in the past and how “ignorance is bliss.”

The lyrics change through the verses from “a body like a welcome mat” to “body like a punching bag” to “body like a prison cell.” This is an evolution throughout the song of the person’s body being attractive, becoming something to abuse and becoming something to be trapped inside of.

Through each stage, it is in “that same dark place” to be torn apart.

The next song is “All the Way.” This is a simple, but effective song about a love that can send lovers all the way to heaven.

Even so, the song ends with “all I want is more,” showing that even love is not enough.

Taking Back Sunday’s older sound shines

through in “Beat Up Car,” a song that seems to be about a person either in an asylum or in a metaphorical asylum in their mind.

The person “can lie to those white coats,” but not to Lazzara, who offers the person a chance to escape.

“It Takes More” has a modern alternative sound.

Lazzara sings about how being young requires little effort. The older we get, the more it takes to be sentimental and emotional.

It’s easier to become cold and detached as we yearn for our younger years.

As the song fades out with Lazzara screaming “more,” it drifts into a repetitive chant and classical strings behind the random noise of people. It is otherworldly.

“They Don’t Have Any Friends” is my least favorite song on the album.

It’s not bad, but it doesn’t have anything interesting or new about it. It’s a solid Taking Back Sunday track.

On the other hand, “Better Homes and Gardens” is a defining moment for the band’s transformed sound and style. It is about a marriage that falls apart when a woman cheats on her

husband. The band makes the verses appropriately bittersweet and releases the anger in the chorus with Lazzara screaming, “It was all for nothing.”

The ninth track, “Like You Do,” is simple, but definitely makes you sing along. It is possibly about being completely blown away by a stranger.

“We Were Younger Then” is another song showcasing Lazzara’s new vocal sound. The beginning and bridge of the song break down into a soft, almost acoustic melody. The serious reminiscent vibe gives the listener an echoing sense of longing.

The best song is definitely the last one, “Nothing At All.” It is down-toearth and personal. With a thin background of acoustic guitar and layered vocals, the band comes together to create a beautiful and ghostly conclusion about chasing after desires and coming up empty, no matter how much you acquire.

As a die-hard Taking Back Sunday fan, it was refreshing to hear the growth of the band as it has paral-

Sunday marked the 20th anniversary of the megapopular sitcom, “Friends.”

Premiering in the ’90s, a decade rife with sitcoms, initially there wasn’t much to separate the show from the pack. However, it has gone on to be one of the most popular sitcoms ever, still running in syndication today.

Part of what made the show successful was its ensemble cast. Some television shows rely on only one character to carry the series, but “Friends” gave viewers a solid cast of six, with each character bringing their own unique personality to the show.

For the uninitiated, “Friends” followed a group of six twenty-somethings as they dealt with work, romance and friendship while living in New York City.

The primary cast con-

sisted of three men and three women. Joey was the dumb but kindhearted ladies’ man. Chandler was the sarcastic business executive. Ross was the geeky paleontologist constantly embroiled in relationship troubles.

Monica, Ross’s sister, was a competitive and energetic neat freak. Her roommate and high school friend Rachel was a spoiled rich girl from Long Island. Phoebe was the black sheep of the group, a new-age hippie with a penchant for writing

terrible acoustic music.

“Friends” had a lot of iconic episodes. Its relatable storylines made the audience feel comfortable with their favorite characters.

For example, one episode titled “The One Where No One’s Ready” focused on something we all can relate to; waiting for your friends to get ready for a night out. In typical “Friends” fashion, the whole episode is handled in a hilarious manner.

A comedy first and foremost, “Friends” still managed to include more serious plotlines as well.

Although now it’s an overused cliché, the “on again-off again” relationship story arc was originated with Ross and Rachel, who spent ten years in and out of love before finally ending up together for good during the series finale in 2004.

The show was so successful, almost every fan can cite a different episode as their favorite.

One particularly funny episode featured Chandler spending a whole Thanksgiving in a box as punishment. Another famously had Ross yelling in his characteristically uptight way for Rachel to “pivot” the couch while putting new furniture in his apartment.

After 20 years of being on air, “Friends” still manages to delight audiences with its witty humor. It’s no wonder it’s widely considered one of the best sitcoms created. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

YouTube has become an outlet for many creative personalities.

Tyler Oakley began making videos on YouTube in 2007 as a freshman at Michigan State University.

With more than 5.4 million subscribers, Oakley is No. 81 on the list of most subscribed YouTube channels. He ranks higher than both LadyGagaVEVO and PitbullVEVO. His 344 videos have accumulated more than 270.1 million views.

Oakley is best known for being an advocate for youth in the LGBT community. He worked with The Trevor Project for more than three years and, in March 2014, he conducted a birthday fundraiser, raising $525,704 through his friends and fans.

Oakley has inspired many fans and one in particular is Ricky Martin.

“I think it was 2011, it was National Coming Out Day and I got a tweet from Ricky Martin and he tweeted one of my videos and said, ‘This was hugely helpful for my process of coming out,’” Oakley said in an interview with E! News.

For this year alone, Oakley has brought home four awards for his YouTube videos.

Oakley collaborated with other YouTube stars such as Zoella, Jenna Marbles, JacksGap, Casper Lee, Marcus Butler, Troye Sivan and many more.

He has interviewed Darren Criss and Michelle Obama.

This highlights how far he

has come; from making videos as a freshman in college just to keep in touch with his friends to making videos for millions of fans and raising money for worthy causes.

One of my favorite videos from Oakley’s channel is “My Reactions To Darren Criss Pictures - I Can’t Even.”

This video is all about Tyler Oakley reacting to attractive new pictures that Darren Criss released of himself.

The reason why this video stands out to me, and others, is because Oakley is showing his true “fangirl” personality.

Most people would be too embarrassed to show thousands of people their crazy obsession with a celebrity, especially when there would be a chance the celebrity would see the video.

This video was posted March 2012, and less than a month ago, Oakley posted a video, “Getting Intimate with Darren Criss,” where he interviewed the star.

What is amazing about the two videos is they show how, just two years ago, Oakley was making videos “fangirling” over celebrities. Now he is interviewing them.

Along with the territory of being one of the “loudest voices on YouTube,” many negative remarks surface in comments on his videos.

Oakley spoke about the negative people who crowd the internet.

“The loudest people online are the negative people,” Oakley said. “I just find peace in the fact that I’m living my dream and doing good, and they’re sitting at home complaining about it.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Philadelphia Eagles prove nothing certain in NFL

AP

Officials try to break up a scuffle between the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles Sunday.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles are as unpredictable as possible.

Also as predictable.

Huh? The 2014 version of the Eagles does several things consistently, most notably falling behind, then rallying. They did it again Sunday in a 37-34 victory over Washington, becoming the first NFL team to fall at least 10 points behind in each of their first three games, then come back to win. “It’s a family,� said quarterback Nick Foles, who threw for three touchdowns and was the recipient of a blind-side block on an apparent interception that sparked a brawl. “We stick together and there’s a great camaraderie. In the locker room during games like that, we lean on each other instead of blaming each other. That’s what football

should be about. You go on the field of battle and play a football game and you want to have each other’s backs. Today we had each other’s backs.�

They can score with anyone, too: 101 points in their three victories. “We can score quick and we can score in bunches,� said Jeremy Maclin, whose 27-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter put Philadelphia on top of Washington (1-2) to stay.

A look at what happened at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday: RO OKIE’S BRE AKTHROUGH: The Eagles drafted Jordan Matthews from Vanderbilt in the second round in May, ostensibly to replace DeSean Jackson, who was cut last winter after six strong seasons in Philly. Matthews made his mark for the first time against the Redskins with two touchdowns receptions and eight catches

overall.

Matthews immediately credited Foles. “Absolutely Nick Foles in the red zone. He put the ball in a perfect place for me to make a play,� said Matthews, who doesn’t have Jackson’s speed, but has good size (6-foot-3, 212 pounds) and strength. “I hadn’t done too much in the first couple of games, so I got a bit sneaky and they forgot about me. Nick was able to find me and hit me in the end zone.�

JACKSON’S RETURN: The exiled receiver wasn’t going to let Philadelphia forget him. He caught an 81-yard touchdown pass to tie it 27-27 and added a Rockettes-style kick to his celebration as his former fans loudly booed. He gained 117 yards on five catches. “Honestly, it’s a new time. It’s a new era,� said Jackson, who was one of the first players to leave

the field after the game. “I don’t see them worrying about me, and I don’t worry about them. I’m happy where I’m at.�

THE BRAWL : The nasty game was marred by a fourth-quarter melee near the Washington sideline after Foles was blindsided by defensive lineman Chris Baker during an apparent interception return by Bashaud Breeland. Baker and Eagles left tackle Jason Peters were ejected – and then the interception was overturned by video replay.

Baker insisted he did nothing wrong, while many Eagles called his block a “cheap shot.� “I saw our guy had an interception, and I went to do what we are taught to do, and that’s to go get a block,� Baker said. “I didn’t look to see if it was a quarterback or not. All I saw was someone going to pursue the ball, and I

got my head in front, and I leveled my shoulder, which is a legal football hit, what I’ve been taught to do. “The whistle had not been blown. He was going towards the ball; the ball carrier was still running, and he could make a tackle. I didn’t even really hit him hard. I just hit him with my shoulder and he happened to fall. He’s a quarterback, so I guess that was the reason for the ejection.�

Peters saw it otherwise. “That wasn’t scripted or planned. The guy just cheap-shotted Nick Foles and I reacted,� Peters said. “I shouldn’t have done what I did, but I was just trying to protect my quarterback.�

COUSIN KIRK: Kirk Cousins, Robert Griffin III’s backup now in the spotlight with RG3 sidelined by an ankle injury, had a big game. He went

30 for 48 for 427 yards with three TD throws. His favorite receiver was Pierre Garcon with 11 catches for 138 yards. “He did a lot of great things, things we can build off of,� Garcon said. “Kirk got a lot of experience today and he will continue to get better.�

UNSTOPPABLE OFFENSE: Philadelphia isn’t just scoring on offense, but that offense has been quite special. Washington was ranked No. 1 in total defense and Philadelphia tore it apart, particularly when cornerback DeAngelo Hall went out with an Achilles tendon injury.

Even as LeSean McCoy, a 2013 All-Pro, was held to 22 yards on 19 carries, Philly found lots of ways to prosper through the air.

And Chris Polk returned a first-quarter kickoff 102 yards for a TD, the first Eagle to do so at the Linc, which opened in 2003.

AP

Bell, Blount help Steelers bulldoze Carolina Panthers CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Move over, Walter Abercrombie and Earnest Jackson.

Step aside, Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier, there’s a new running back tandem in the Steel City.

Le’Veon Bell ran for 147 yards and LeGarrette Blount added 118 yards on the ground Sunday night as the Steelers defeated the Carolina Panthers 37-19.

Bell and Blount became the first Pittsburgh tandem to rush for 100 yards each since Abercrombie and Jackson accomplished the feat in 1986, and only the eighth time it has been done in team history. Harris and Bleier did it three times, but never combined for as many yards as Bell and Blount did against a very good Carolina defense. “That’s awesome,� quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “I’m sure that Steeler fans back home are going crazy because we ran the ball for 100 and had two guys do it. That’s just awesome. I think it shows what we can do if we put our minds to it.�

The Steelers finished with 264 yards rushing and averaged 7.8 yards per carry, a number that was aided by an 81-yard burst from Bell and a 50-yard jaunt by Blount. “We stuck to our game plan and eventually just started popping off runs,�

Bell said.

What’s even more impressive is it came against a Carolina defense that ranked second in the league last season in total defense and features the 2013 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year in Luke Kuechly. “Our offensive line came out and played well and they created some holes too,� Blount said. “They were amazing, they are great.�

Blount said that is one of the reasons he signed with the Steelers as a free agent this offseason, even though they already had Bell. “I knew that I was going to come here and get the football,� Blount said. “The first couple weeks weren’t big weeks for me but I knew when my time came I was going to be able to contribute and we came out here and did well.�

Some things we learned from the Steelers’ 37-19 win: PROTECTION CONCERNS: Coach Ron Rivera was concerned about the lack of protection given to Cam Newton. The offensive line, which lost a number of veteran starters in the offseason, was viewed as the weak link coming into the season.

They were exposed by the Steelers, who got to Newton at times with only three rushers.

Newton was sacked three times, fumbled once and hit at least a dozen more in the loss. “The Steelers did some things that were a little bit different,� Rivera said. “They hadn’t done these things in their previous two games. They really did.

If you go back and look at it, they did a really nice job of game planning and mixing some things up.�

PANTHERS BACKS ARE HURTING: The Panthers have issues to contend with moving forward at running back.

They came into the game without starting running back DeAngelo Williams (hamstring) and thirdstring back Fozzy Whittaker (hamstring) due to injuries. Jonathan Stewart, who replaced Williams, injured his knee and did not return. Fullback Mike Tolbert left the game with leg injury.

The Panthers elevated Darrin Reaves from the practice squad last week and Rivera said “he many have to oil it up and get ready to play football� against Baltimore next Sunday.

The Panthers are averaging just 72.3 yards per game on the ground this season.

THE BROWN ZONE: There was some question as to who Roethlisberger would look to in the red zone with Jerricho Cotch-

ery having left via free agency. Antonio Brown seems to be emerging as that target after with a pair of 7-yard TD receptions.

Brown has all three receiving touchdowns this year for the Steelers.

DEFENSIVE QUESTIONS: The Steelers will have some questions to answer on defense after los-

ing cornerback Ike Taylor to a broken arm and Ryan Shazier (knee) and Jarvis Jones (wrist) for the game Sunday night. Taylor will be out for a while, but the Steelers will be waiting with bated breath on their linebackers.

PANTHERS NEED A RETURNER: The Panthers struggled throughout the

preseason to find a returner to replace Ted Ginn Jr. They still don’t have a reliable option. Undrafted rookie Philly Brown looked decent in his first start at receiver, but fumbled a punt return that the Steelers eventually fell on in the end zone for a touchdown, ruining any thoughts of a Carolina comeback.

Mountaineers prepared to enter Big 12 play

shannon Mckenna/the daily athenaeum

WVU forward Ashley Lawrence tries to break away with the ball against the Villanova defense earlier this season.

By David Statman Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Ever since West Virginia University joined the Big 12 Conference in 2012, the West Virginia womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team has owned the opposition.

The Mountaineers have won consecutive Big 12 regular season championships and have lost just two of the 20 conference games theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played since their move from the Big East.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown is no stranger to

on-field achievement, and she knows that as her squad approaches the start of conference play, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll face significant challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk into an arena and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won championships.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to fight for it,â&#x20AC;?

Izzo-Brown said after WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over Villanova on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have that understanding going in and knowing that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge target on our back.â&#x20AC;?

WVU enters conference competition playing, perhaps, their best ball of the

year. The Mountaineers are in the midst of a sevengame, unbeaten streak in which they have outscored their opponents 21-3.

Last weekend, WVU walloped LaSalle and Villanova, scoring four goals in each game while holding the Philadelphia schools to a total of just eight shots.

Junior goalkeeper Hannah Steadman has had an easy time in net and said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraged by what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen from her teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came off of two good wins this weekend, must-wins,â&#x20AC;? Steadman

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nikkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto is, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose at home.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So for us to come out on Friday night and really take advantage of Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game and play well and then come out today and score four goals, everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty happy right now and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to carry into Big 12 conference play.â&#x20AC;?

The road ahead will be a tough one for West Virginia. Four of the Big 12â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 teams are ranked in the NSCAA Coaches Poll. WVU will kick off its conference schedule with a trip to the

Lone Star State, facing TCU on Friday and Texas on Sunday.

Faced with some very strong opposition in the near future, Izzo-Brown said she will look to push her team to greater heights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just always going to challenge this team to get better, and understand that now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conference play, now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about your goals and what you want to accomplish and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no turning back,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The Mo u n t a i n e e r s rolled through Big 12 competition on their way to a

regular season conference championship and a Big 12 Tournament victory in 2013.

This year, Izzo-Brown said she is not content to rest on her laurels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day when I walk by that trophy case, I talk about pressure being a privilege, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question. I want to take names,â&#x20AC;? she said.

With conference play just around the corner, the Mountaineers will have their chance to do just that. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Braves fire GM after missing playoffs ATLANTA (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Atlanta Braves fired general manager Frank Wren on Monday, less than 24 hours after being eliminated from the NL playoff race.

The move was announced by team president John Schuerholz, who called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cumulativeâ&#x20AC;? decision based on the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance and troubling signs in player development.

Former Cleveland and Texas general manager John Hart replaces Wren on an interim basis. While the 66-year-old Hart said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t his desire to take the job permanently, Schuerholz said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible he would be considered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our goal and our emphasis to find that Bravesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; way again, to reinvigorate it and make it better than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been before,â&#x20AC;? Schuerholz said at a Turner Field news conference.

The Braves put together a search committee of Schuerholz, Hart and retired manager Bobby Cox to conduct the search for the next general manager.

The team also dismissed Wrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right-hand man, assistant general manager Bruce Manno.

Still to be determined is the fate of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager, Fredi Gonzalez.

Schuerholz said the new GM would likely have a big say in determining if Gonzalez returns in 2015, though the fact that no change was made at manager clearly indicates he still has the support of the three-man search committee.

Cox, in fact, said he believes Gonzalez has done an â&#x20AC;&#x153;outstandingâ&#x20AC;? job in his four years as manager, leading the Braves to a wild-card berth in 2012 and an NL East title last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team has not quit at all,â&#x20AC;? said Cox, who has been an adviser to Schuerholz since retiring after the 2010 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still familiar with the clubhouse,

and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as high energy as you could get under the circumstances. I think Fredi has done a remarkable job since taking over for me.â&#x20AC;?

Wren was in his 15th season with the Braves and his seventh as the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager. He was appointed to the GM post after the 2007 season, when Schuerholz gave up the job to become team president.

While the Braves made the playoffs three times during Wrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure, he drew heavy criticism for the big-money contracts of second baseman Dan Uggla and center fielder B.J. Upton.

Uggla was released in July, even though he was still owed $13 million this season and the next. Upton is looking like one of the biggest free-agent busts in baseball history, with three more years remaining on a $75.25 million, five-year contract.

The outfielder was hitting .207 with 11 homer and 34 RBIs, which is actually an improvement on his first year with Atlanta.

The Braves have been one of baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest disappointments this season. A half-game behind the Washington Nationals for the NL East lead on July 29, Atlanta plummeted out of contention by winning just 18 of its next 49 games.

Wren and Manno didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help their cause with what some perceived as a dictatorial style, causing key people in player development to leave the organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this job, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be able to delegate, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be able to encourage, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to be the guy who walks in the door when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost four straight and picks your manager up,â&#x20AC;? Hart said.

Going into the final week of the regular season, the Braves were 15 games behind the Nationals and eliminated from the wildcard race after losing 14 of their last 18 games, a slump that has included five shutouts. Atlanta has

gone nine straight games without scoring more than three runs.

The Braves have one of the NLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best team ERAs, despite losing projected starters Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy to seasonending injuries in spring training. But the lack of consistent offense has plagued the team all season and could lead to changes on the coaching staff. It seems likely that hitting coaches Greg Walker and Scott Fletcher will not return in 2015, even if Gonzalez keeps his job.

Wren was fired after the Braves were swept at home this past weekend by the New York Mets, scoring only four runs in three games.

A former GM of the Baltimore Orioles, Wren served eight seasons as Schuerholzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lieutenant and moved into the top job when the long-time Braves GM decided to take a lesser role in day-to-day operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baseball is an evolving game,â&#x20AC;? Schuerholz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we whiffed (on hiring Wren) seven years ago at all. He deserved a chance. I thought we made the right choice then, and I think we made the right choice now.â&#x20AC;?

Hart joined the Braves last November as a senior adviser for baseball operations. He was general manager of the Indians for a decade through 2001, then spent four years in the same job with the Rangers. He is now an analyst with MLB Network in addition to his role with the Braves.

The 73-year-old Schuerholz, who oversaw a run of 14 straight division titles while serving as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GM from 1991 to 2007, said he would not return to his old job but seemed to catch Hart a bit off guard by refusing to rule him out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not completely closed or opened that door,â&#x20AC;?

Schuerholz said, looking at Hart with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he meant to say.â&#x20AC;?

Special teams must improve

A football team is only as strong as its weakest unit, and right now, West Virginia’s weakest unit is its special teams, specifically the punt and kickoff coverage teams.

The Mountaineer kick coverage units have surrendered a return touchdown in each of the last two weeks: a 69yard punt return by Maryland’s William Likely in Week 3 and a 100-yard kickoff return by Oklahoma’s Alex Ross Saturday.

Surrendering touchdowns on special teams doesn’t always make the difference between winning and losing, but it does guarantee a major shift in momentum that can lead to a shift in the tide of a game.

West Virginia was able to survive a special teams catastrophe against Maryland.

Sure, Jarrod Harper came up with a blocked punt that resulted in a safety, and kicker Josh Lambert connected on a 47-yard field goal in a clutch situation to give the Mountaineers a win, but all in all, the day was an adventure on special teams.

Despite all the miscues and near-fatal mistakes the Mountaineer special teams committed in Week 3, West Virginia was able to escape with a win.

Winning with that kind of execution is hardly sustainable, and the Mountaineers found that out against one of the best teams in the country Saturday.

With all the talent and firepower a program like Oklahoma possesses, it takes a near-perfect game by anyone to come out of a matchup with the Sooners with a win.

Mistakes get magnified in a hurry, and special teams’ gaffes, like the ones committed against Maryland, become back-breaking, game changing moments.

This is exactly what happened Saturday against the Sooners. West Virginia was going toe-to-toe with a team that has a shot to be the national champion when all is said and done this season, but a special teams lapse at a critical moment in the game gave the Sooners the momentum they needed to end any threat of an upset.

The Mountaineers had just taken a 24-17 lead after a touchdown run by Rushel Shell, and looked like they were in good shape to be heading into halftime with a lead. Other than the breakout performance by freshman running back Samaje Perine, Oklahoma’s high-flying offense was sufficiently grounded by the West Virginia defense in the first half.

The Sooners’ dynamic quarterback Trevor Knight looked lost at times, missing throws that he typically could complete in his sleep and showing signs of being rattled

by West Virginia’s defense.

All the momentum the Mountaineers built up in a stellar first half of play vanished in the blink of an eye when Ross turned on the jets and left the WVU kick coverage team in the dust, tying the game at 24 and giving Bob Stoops’ team the lift it needed heading into the locker room.

While West Virginia was able to recover from its special teams errors against Maryland, Oklahoma made the Mountaineers pay dearly. The Sooners’ seized control of the game in an emphatic fashion, outscoring the Mountaineers 21-9 in the second half and putting the game to bed early in the fourth quarter when Perine broke through WVU’s defense for his fourth rushing touchdown of the game, giving Oklahoma a 45-27 lead.

West Virginia’s offense played well enough to win this game. Its defense made key stops in the first half that allowed the Mountaineers to play with one of the best teams in the country, but this game was flipped on its head after Ross’ touchdown return.

Mistakes happen. It’s the nature of the game. When these mistakes start to pile up, it becomes a trend. West Virginia’s special teams unit is trending in the wrong direction right now, and it’s up to coach Joe DeForest to find a solution in a hurry. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU run defense leaves team unable to pull off upsets of nation’s top contenders

By Dillon Durst Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

West Virginia’s 45-33 loss to No. 4 Oklahoma Saturday night proved where the Mountaineers stand among the Big 12 Conference’s elite.

The Mountaineers’ offense, once again, showed it is capable of competing with the nation’s best. However, their defense must improve in big games – especially conference games – if West Virginia expects to ever be part of the Big 12’s upper tier.

Oklahoma’s physical rushing attack visibly wore down the Mountaineers’ defense in the second half of Saturday night’s game.

“We just couldn’t stop them. Couldn’t tackle them,”

said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “(There were) too many mistakes, too many missed tackles. We had opportunities to make plays and couldn’t do it.”

In Week 1 against No. 2 Alabama, West Virginia also had a tough time trying to stop the Crimson Tide’s powerful downhill running game.

In its two losses to Alabama and Oklahoma, the Mountaineers surrendered 597 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns.

Few teams in the nation can say they’ve faced two top-5 teams in the first four weeks of the season, but it’s crucial that the Mountaineers’ defense take the next step against ranked opponents to gain relevancy in the Big 12.

Tackling was a major is-

sue against Oklahoma. With their No. 1 running back Keith Ford out with an injury, the Sooners turned to No. 3 back Samaje Perine who proved he’s anything but a thirdstring back.

Perine bullied his way through West Virginia’s defense most of the night. His 5-foot-11, 243 pound frame allowed him to run with a low pad level and forced Mountaineer defenders to dive at his legs to bring him down.

West Virginia faced a similar challenge in Alabama’s Derrick Henry. Henry, who checks in at a taller 6-foot3, 241 pounds, runs with the same power and head of steam as Perine does. The Crimson Tide turned to Henry’s punishing running style late in the game against West

Virginia and wore out the Mountaineers in the same fashion Perine did.

West Virginia’s pass defense, however, has been decent. The Mountaineers gave up 250 passing yards against Alabama but held Oklahoma’s Trevor Knight, who many perceived as a dark horse Heisman candidate heading into this season, to just 209 passing yards and an interception.

Anytime you can limit a top-Big 12 team to just more than 200 passing yards is a victory – even if it’s a small one.

“I think we’re still getting better each week,” said senior linebacker Wes Tonkery.

“We have some corrections we need to make, but moving forward, I’m very confident in what we’re doing.”

Gibson said guys are still

“jumping around” and not doing their jobs on defense, and that will be an area he and the coaching staff plan to address during the bye week.

The Mountaineer defense is without a doubt much more improved than last year’s unit but needs to improve its run defense against quality teams to get to where they want to be.

“We can say, ‘Well the schedule is tough. We played two top-4 teams, or whatever it is,’” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Well, we signed up for the Big 12 … and that’s where we need to get to if we want to be successful and win a championship, which is what everybody talks about around here, including me.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia concludes road trip at JMU

West Virginia is entering the final game of its road trip with more confidence than it had when it first hit the road.

The Mountaineers broke their three game losing skid against the High Point Panthers Saturday, defeating them 2-1. Jamie Merriam and Tolu Ibikunle both scored in the win.

Beating the Panthers put the Mountaineers back over .500 and gives them a big chance to move two games

over heading back home after finishing this road trip.

The Mountaineers will come up the coast to Virginia to take on James Madison in their eighth game of the season.

James Madison brings a 3-3-1 record to the pitch but success has not come while playing at home this season.

The Dukes have not won a game at home in 2014, owning a 0-3-1 record in Harrisonburg. West Virginia is coming off its first win since early September, and will be looking to close out the east coast road trip with a

2-1 record. The Mountaineers dropped the first game of their road trip to the Elon Phoenix but returned to North Carolina a week later to defeat the High Point Panthers. West Virginia tightened its defense against the Panthers and this yielded success for the Mountaineers.

The second half also proved to be West Virginia’s friend against High Point. The Mountaineers scored both their goals in the second half within a minute span.

West Virginia did not allow a corner kick in the second half and did not allow the

Panthers to set up an effective offense.

West Virginia will be looking to silence Joe Vyner, who is the leading goal scorer this season for the Dukes. Vyner has scored two goals this season and also leads the team in shots on goal with nine. The Dukes have struggled to score though early in the season.

With only seven goals scored to the Mountaineers 12. The goal differential plays in the Mountaineers’ favor and they will be looking to take advantage of their opportunities.

Tuesday night’s tilt in Harrisonburg takes place only

three days after the Mountaineers last contest, but it will allow them to return home with confidence if they pull a victory. The importance of a victory will prove crucial for the Mountaineers finding their groove.

It has been a season of streaks so far for the Mountaineers. A three game winning started the season and a three game losing streak followed. If the win on Saturday is any indication, West Virginia may be in for another hot streak. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
