OUTMANNED “There were a bunch of lapses, a whole bunch. We were just outmanned.” — Eron Harris, WVU sophomore guard

West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, speaks during a press conference concerning the chemical spill, at the Capitol in Charleston, W.Va., Monday. Starting with downtown Charleston, officials in West Virginia are gradually lifting the ban on using tap water in the nine counties affected by a chemical spill that tainted the water supply. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Safe tap water gushed from faucets and shower heads in West Virginia on Monday, a welcome sight and sound for a small fraction of the 300,000 people who have not been able to use running water since a chemical spill five days ago. It could still be days before everyone in the Charleston metropolitan area is cleared to use the water, though officials said the water in certain designated areas was safe to drink and wash with as long as people flushed out their systems. They cautioned that the water may still have a slight licorice-type odor to it, raising the anxieties of some who believed it was still contaminated. “I’m not going to drink it. I’ll shower in it and do dishes in it. But I won’t drink it. I don’t think it’s (the chemical) all out,” said Angela Stone, who started the 30-minute or so process of flushing her system out soon after the ban was lifted. By Monday evening, of-

ficials had given the green light to about 15 percent of West Virginia American Water’s customers, and company spokeswoman Laura Jordan said as much as 25 percent of its customer base could have water by the end of the day. The water crisis shuttered schools, restaurants and day-care centers and truckloads of water had to be brought in from out of state. People were told to use the water only to flush their toilets. “Finally,” said Stone’s husband, James Parker. “I can finally take a shower, do dishes and cook some regular meals.” Officials were lifting the ban in a strict, methodical manner to help ensure the water system was not overwhelmed by excessive demand, which could cause more water quality and service problems. An online map detailing what areas were cleared showed a very small portion in blue and a vast area across nine counties still in the ‘do not use’ red.

5k dance party to hit Morgantown in May By Evelyn Merithew Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

ElectroDash, a 5k dance party, is coming to Morgantown at Mylan Park May 2. For $35, West Virginia University students and members of the Morgantown community can participate in the 3.1 mile run, which features neon lights and electronic music throughout the entire race. “ElectroDash is a 5k dance party. It’s taken two different worlds – the fitness world and the music world – and turned it into a party,” said Trevor White, director of the race. From black lights to lasers, to blowups and DJs, the entire track will be lit up and neon-colored. “This race is at night when it’s pitch black, and once you get to the finish line, it’s a party,” White said. “Everybody gets to

hang out and have a really good time. It’s the ultimate club.” There will be five to six DJs throughout the course, most of whom will be Morgantown natives. White said his company also tries to bring in at least one prominent DJ name to each race. ElectroDash, based out of Salt Lake City, grew out of Color Me Rad, a run that White and his associates previously helped organize. “We came down to Morgantown last September for Color Me Rad and thought, ‘People are having a really good time, so what if we put on something at night?’ Some of our associates had concert experience with live shows, so we decided to combine a dance party and a rave with running,” White said. “That’s how

SGA launches social media campaign to improve ‘problem’ safety areas on campus

HOW MUCH

POWER DOES A HASHTAG HAVE?

#WVUSafetyAudit

by hannah wigal correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Student Government Association is launching its #WVUsafetyaudit social media campaign to address students’ concerns about safety on campus and surrounding communities. #WVUsafetyaudit will go live at Wednesday’s SGA meeting and will enable students to voice safety concerns or issues they encounter on campus throughout the next month. SGA is encouraging all students to participate in the audit by tweeting pictures of potentially dangerous areas on campus using #WVUsafetyaudit. Campus-wide safety walks will follow the Twitter campaign and will be held Feb. 11-12 on the downtown, Evansdale and Health Sciences Campuses. The walk Feb. 12 will focus on the areas surrounding the Downtown Campus that are heavily

traveled by students. The BOG members Chris Nyden, Jake Evans and John Williams are taking on this project. “Whenever we get students involved, that’s when the administration is really going to grab a hold of this, and we’re going to see changes being made,” Evans said. Recently, more students have approached BOG members about safety concerns on campus. “It’s important to me, because I grew up here,” Williams said. “I’ve seen a deterioration of the safety on campus at WVU. It’s something that I’d like to improve, because I feel the No. 1 priority of WVU is to provide a safe environment for it’s students.” Inadequate lighting on the downtown campus seems to be one of the main concerns of students. “We realize that a lot of people do feel unsafe at night. We hear of a lot of attacks on campus and

Work continues around storage tanks at Freedom Industries storage facility in Charleston, W. Va., Monday. The ban on tap water for parts of West Virginia was lifted Monday, ending a crisis for a fraction of the 300,000 people who were told not to drink, wash or cook with water after a chemical spill tainted the water supply. Gov. Earl Tomblin made the announcement at a news conference five days after people were told to use the water only to flush their toilets.

water

Continued from page 1 Customers were credited with 1,000 gallons of water, which was likely more than enough to flush out a system. The average residential customer uses about 3,300 gallons per month. Some people said they weren’t worried about the odor. “It’s not going to bother me as long as we know it’s clean,” said Peter Triplett, a state library commission worker whose home was near the first area allowed to use water. “It’s been rough going.” The first area cleared was downtown Charleston, the state capital and its largest city. Hospitals were open and flushing out systems, but schools were to stay closed Tuesday. The water crisis started Thursday when a chemical used in coal processing leaked from a Free-

dom Industries plant into the nearby Elk River. Complaints came in to West Virginia American Water about the odor and officials discovered the source was the chemical 4-methylcyclohexane methanol that spilled out of a 40,000-gallon tank. In all, state officials believe about 7,500 gallons leaked from the tank. Some of the chemical was contained before flowing into the river and it’s not clear exactly how much entered the water supply. Federal authorities, including the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, have opened an investigation. Charleston attorney Anthony Majestro represents several businesses that lost money while shut down and said he has lost count of the numerous lawsuits filed over the spill. Over the past few days, tests have showed that levels were consistently below a toxic threshold, and in some samples, there was no trace of the chemical at all.

Some people put plastic bags around faucets so that they were reminded not to use the water. Others have left town to take a shower and find an open restaurant. Steve Graham, who works at Union Mission in downtown Charleston, said they handed out more than 150 pallets of bottled water packs since the weekend. Graham said the water ban slipped his mind Monday night. “I got that mouthful of water in the middle of the night just waking up, and instantly you got that candy taste in your mouth,” he said. Graham said he rinsed his mouth out with bottled water and was fine. Only 14 people exposed to the contaminated water were admitted to the hospital, and none was in serious condition. No fish kills were reported and there was no impact to aquatic life or wildlife, state officials said. The chemical, even in its most concentrated form, isn’t deadly. How-

can’t find anywhere else,” he said. Like Color Me Rad, a portion of the proceeds from the run will be donated to the Rosenbaum Family House, a living facility provided for adult patients and their families to live in during their medical treatment at WVU Hospital. Runners, who are en-

couraged to wear neon colors to the event, can participate by themselves or in teams, and the race is not timed. Participants who pay for registration also receive an ElectroDash T-shirt, a glowing neon bracelet, neon sunglasses, water and food at the finish line. Cameron Ferdinand, a medical laboratory science student said she is excited to do this run because it seems exhilarating. “I love the music and neon color aspect of the 5k. It will make the experience much different than any of the other 5ks I’ve ever participated in,” Ferdinand said. White said he and his

team are anticipating the event will sell out and are expecting 9,000 runners. “What makes this race unique is that you have the ability to bring the community together for a concert experience during an entire 5k,” White said. “You’re stimulated with lights and sound for the entire 3.1 miles. “Everyone has been to a concert and everyone has been to a run. Combining these two worlds creates an (atmosphere) that you haven’t experienced before.” To register for the race, visit http://www.electrodash5k.com.

safety

BOG members said this campaign is being launched not only to increase safety of students, but to build a more cohesive relationship between Morgantown and WVU. “We want to improve WVU. We think that by improving the University and looking at some of the areas surrounding campus, we can build the relationship between WVU and the city of Morgantown,” Nyden said. SGA will also accept group leader applications for the safety walks for students interested in earning community service hours.

BOG members are reaching out to students and giving them opportunities to get involved so they can adequately ensure safety of students.

Gee sets realistic goals for presidential stint Gordon Gee has already made one thing clear about his second tenure as West Virginia University’s president. He might only be back in Morgantown for a semester, but he’s fully committed to the task at hand. Earlier this week, Gee visited The Daily Athenaeum newsroom and outlined the goals he hopes to accomplish while at the University’s helm. Instead of setting vague long-term goals, Gee said he will be setting his sights on three specific aims he said will strengthen the University as it undergoes

the transition into a new era of leadership. Gee said his goals – solidifying the connection between West Virginians and WVU, strengthening the community of WVU and increasing the University’s emphasis on student life – are not only obtainable in the short term but are of vital importance to the institution’s future. Gee, who has served as the president of four other universities throughout his career, knows from experience what it takes to make an institution great and how to go about do-

ing it. Gee is well aware of the fact that his time here is limited, so to make the most of that time, he has chosen to make his goals clear-cut and realistic. For his transparency, openness and levelheadedness, The Daily Athenaeum applauds Gee and looks forward to seeing the results of his labors. As the search for the University’s next permanent president continues and the spring semester commences, the WVU community can rest easy knowing there is a steady hand on the wheel.

The second hand of my Swatch dutifully ticked on as I glanced at the television screen above the workout machines at the gym. Kanawha, along with four other unfortunate West Virginia counties, was on its fourth day without water due to the contamination of the Elk River. I looked away from the news and continued on with my routine. A woman beside me, who was covered in intricate tattoos, was busting out pull-ups as easily as I had watched the entire seventh season of The Office in one sitting. She smirked as I struggled to keep up. I sat on the PRT on my ride home and thought about the coming months. I, like many people following the New Year, had a plan to get into the best shape in my life, yet I could not shake the feeling I would get busy with school and neglect my routine. The slowness of the PRT allowed me more time to focus on doubt in general. The first thought that ran through my mind was, “Why do I never watch the news?” to which I answered, “Because there is never anything happy on the news, and it just depresses me.” I felt myself heading down a sort of dismal path. As the PRT moved onward I thought to myself, “Why do humans always seem to mess everything up? How is it that genocide, slavery and sectarian warfare still exist in 2014?” The ride seemed to never end. As the PRT approached its terminus, my train of thought snowballed into me losing all faith in

the innumerable positive contrivances created by mankind. I overlooked the creation of intergovernmental organizations, homeless shelters and the philanthropic works of Bill and Melinda Gates in a manner of minutes. It was a beautiful day outside, but I felt completely dejected. Each step that brought me closer to my house seemed to only push me further away. Then a great thing happened: I stubbed my toe extremely hard on a curb and half-shouted a word that would have resulted in me being grounded in grade school. Strangely, this accident jolted me out of my funk. For some reason, I thought of the woman from the gym, my friends from a community service club I joined last semester and my brother. As soon as I made it up the curb, everything made sense. The culmination of all my earlier negative thoughts was erased by the fact that the people whom I thought of simply existed. Each represented the best aspects of humanity. The woman at the gym had obviously done her fair share of exercising. I could tell from her bulging biceps she was a regular at the gym, albeit the important thing about this woman was that she exuded commitment. The fact that I had lost count of how many pullups she did while using my peripheral vision proved she was dedicated to bettering her body. This woman was the paradigm of human will, a characteristic that has always existed in the struggle for good. It only made sense that

there were organizations for people committed to making the world a better place. Last semester, I joined the Mountaineer Organization for Relief Efforts. The members of MORE were a great group of guys who simply enjoyed getting together to brainstorm ways they could help out Morgantown and the world at large. Nobody forced these students to form a group to save the world from itself, but they wanted a crack at it, and that made all the difference to me. Lastly, I thought of my brother, Trey, who had driven to another state to get water for my mother while she worked. My brother acted in such a selfless manner only a few days ago on the drop of a dime. It astounded me how quickly he had decided to act for somebody else. When everything was getting worse, my brother took it upon himself to save the day and actually followed through with what he set out to accomplish. After driving for hours nonstop, my brother even asked me if I needed him to drive all the way up to Morgantown to bring me water. These people put a smile on my face. In the second that had passed earlier that day, I had begun to look into the abyss, and it too gazed into me. However, as the thin hands of my Swatch continued to circumscribe its face, the abyss did not consume me. I was protected by my fellow citizens, people with endless potential, readers like you who hold the key to the future of the world of tomorrow. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A first-world problem is defined by Urban Dictionary as “a problem from living in a wealthy, industrialized nation that third-worlders would probably roll their eyes at.” Citizens of the first world can be heard complaining about these problems everywhere, from social media to everyday conversation. It’s basically a problem that stems from being fortunate enough to live in a developed nation. One problem unique to first-world countries is being overfed but undernourished, which is called the obesity paradox. It always starts with just one donut, Snickers bar or Big Mac. Calorie-packed food has little to no nutritional value, but once you give in, you’ll find yourself craving more. We have endless options of bulk processed food, which is reflected in America’s soaring obesity numbers. It’s also no secret our portion sizes are far larger than necessary. Still, despite all this obesity, a large number of Americans have considerable nutritional deficiencies – way too many calories with way too few vitamins and minerals. High-salt, high-sugar, high-fat … the list goes on and on. Fast food chains like McDonald’s and Taco Bell offer the allure of a “meal” for prices cheaper than the cost of fruits and veggies. Instead you can get a burger, fries and a large soda. While people are dying from starvation in developing countries, our nation’s budget is hugely affected by obesity-related health problems such as diabetes, heart disease and

high blood pressure. The majority of those who live in a developed nation experience stress stemming from technology. Granted, it is certainly a different kind of stress than being in survival mode to find food or water, but it’s unhealthy all the same. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are all sources of frustration, envy and unnatural obsession at times for most of us. It is very much a first world problem to get annoyed that someone unfollowed you, didn’t like your picture or even favorited your tweet. We make a conscious decision to follow certain people, which just sets ourselves up to complain about their posts, whether they are far too long or possibly conceited. Ranting about not having access to Wi-Fi or having your phone buzz too much with never-ending group messages – these are classic first-world problems. The list can go on for days and often does on the Twitter account titled “First World Pains.” Here are a few recent examples: “I woke up before my alarm went off.” “I can’t fit my hand into the Pringles container.” “The only place I get bad cell reception in my house is the leather recliner I always sit in.” This account always gives me a reality check while also cracking me up, realizing how spoiled we really are. However, does the trend of labeling everything as a “first-world problem” undermine every issue we have, attempting to induce guilt for being born into a comfortable life? I don’t believe that is the case. It just helps to give us a better perspective, the realization of how dire the circumstances could really be.

I definitely believe those living in developing countries have some very real problems that are simply different. When survival is on the line, there is a purpose behind every action you take – finding water, food, shelter, protecting your loved ones. In first-world countries, many lack this sense of purpose. An overload of technology causes many to feel isolated and disconnected. Just because there’s always someone out there who has it worse than you doesn’t mean your problems aren’t real or valid. Still, it’s definitely healthy to realize when we are really struggling with something or complaining just to complain. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you often see others in a new light. Your ability to empathize increases, thus you understand others better. A boss or someone you answer to could act in an unexpected manner. Learn to expect spontaneity from this person. If you are single, you could find that you like the person you are dating much more than you thought possible. Try not to panic; instead, learn to enjoy this feeling. If you are attached, the two of you juggle a lot of concerns, yet you both manage to put aside your differences in order to keep your bond viable and rewarding. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Pressure’s tendrils will find their way into the best of situations. As a result, many people might act in an

odd or divisive manner. If you step back and observe what is happening, you could start laughing at everything that is going on. Tonight: Happy at home. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You might decide to head down a certain path only to discover that it is fraught with boulders. Rethink your choices. Make calls, and get feedback. Luck seems to appear just as certain issues dissolve. Tonight: Move quickly. Touch base with a loved one. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Be smart when handling funds. Someone could make an appealing offer. This person’s words will mean nothing until you check out their validity. A friend who often shares some unique ideas could surprise you. Tonight: Take a hard look at your budget. Is it working?

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by someone’s childish behavior. You often put this person on a pedestal, but today he or she could fall off. Perhaps you have been projecting your own ideals instead of seeing reality. Take off your rose-colored glasses. Tonight: Make a caring gesture. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HH Continue to do your share of listening. Understand what your expectations are regarding someone you admire. This person could give you quite a jolt. Recognize what is happening below the surface, and act on those feelings. Tonight: Hopefully not to be found. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Move forward, and understand what a meeting and its message are really about. You know you can count on

certain supporters; brainstorm with them more often. You might want to indulge a close loved one, but a partner could become jealous. Tonight: Where the action is. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Think twice before assuming the helm of the ship. Remember that many responsibilities come with this position. Recognize your limits. Know what can be done in order to salvage a rapidly deteriorating situation. Changes might profoundly affect you. Tonight: Start a project. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Reach out for a different perspective. Step back and take a look at the big picture. You will see matters in a new light after some reflection. Your decisions also will mirror a new and unique quality. Give yourself the luxury of choice. Tonight: Try a new type

of cuisine. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You might believe all is well under the advisement of a partner, but you will discover otherwise. A child could become quite rebellious and difficult all of a sudden. Be more in touch with what your limits are. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Someone might want to do things his or her way. Hand this person the reins and see what happens. Sometimes people just instinctively react to your position and determination. Let them walk in your shoes, and they will learn a lot. Tonight: Juggle different invitations. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Your decision to accomplish certain tasks demands focus. Some of you

might want to screen your calls. Unfortunately, someone might misread your lack of availability and take it personally. Have a conversation, hopefully to cool this person down. Tonight: Head home. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Your imagination comes to the rescue, no matter what you do or where you are. You could find it difficult to convince a loved one, friend or associate of your solution. This person might be too into the drama to let go. Don’t worry so much. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

Hosts highlight 71st Golden Globes JAke Jarvis A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Audiences across the country were captivated by the glamorous and peculiar world of celebrities as the 71st annual Golden Globes aired on NBC Sunday night. Not only was the state of West Virginia having water woes, but so was the Golden Globes. Merely hours before showtime, 5,000 gallons of water were reportedly dumped onto the red carpet after a pipe had burst below it. But this did not hamper the atmosphere; all eyes were on the stars, each dressed to the nines in hopes of making the best dressed list. For many, the best dressed award goes to Lupita Nyong’o, actress from “12 Years a Slave,” for her beautiful Ralph Lauren dress. Her shoulders were accented perfectly with a red, capelike number. Also turning heads was Lizzy Caplan, known for her role as Janis Ian in “Mean Girls.” Wearing Emilio Pucci, her neckline was stunningly accentuated with beautiful gold detailing. Fortunately, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were back as our favorite award show hosts. We loved them both on “Saturday Night Live,” and we love them on “30 Rock” and “Parks and Recreation,”

respectively. We just love them all the time. “A very good evening to everyone in the room and to all the women and gay men watching at home,” Poehler said. The perfect awards show host should be sparse, quick to make us laugh and ultimately, not try to steal the spotlight from why we’re really watching. The powerduo had genius bits that lightened some of the more awkward moments. Perhaps the most awkward was the acceptance speech was from Jacqueline Bisset. First off, I had completely forgotten who she was and why she was important. Bisset starred in “Dancing on the Edge” and had a brief seven-episode visit on the show “Nip/ Tuck.” This was her fifth nomination for a Golden Globe. Bisset set a new world record for longest travel time to stage. As her name was announced, audiences applauded. As she slowly walked to stage, with pit stops along the way to hug her friends, the audience continued to clap despite the inherent awkwardness. As she stood literally speechless before the microphone, I was on the edge of my seat waiting for producers to pull the plug and cut to commercial to save her from embarrassment.

Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make the audience laugh. I get that something momentous like winning a Golden Globe can make one’s brain scatter, but really? Really Jacqueline Bisset? After the stumbling came the nonsensical, strewn-together speech. “Like my mother always said, ‘Go to hell,’” she said. “Forgive everybody. It’s the best beauty treatment.” By the end of her speech,

we were left wondering whether or not she had had one too many cocktails. But nonetheless, we thank her for making us smile. Jennifer Lawrence won the Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture award for her stellar performance in “American Hustle.” Let’s be honest, was there any doubt she would win?

HBO’s ‘Girls’ returns for third, significant season Noelle Harris A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

HBO’s “Girls” is back, and it is just as awkward, funny and controversial as usual. “Girls” came back for its highly anticipated season three premiere to catch up with the gang. Season two left off with a broken Marnie, a missing Jessa, a newly sexually liberated Shoshanna and a back-together Hannah and Adam. The premiere is a twopart episode that opens with a period of healing. Adam and Hannah are back together. While their relationship has not always been the healthiest, Adam saved Hannah from herself and is around to help her become healthy. Marnie is trying to get her own place after she was abruptly dumped by Charlie. Jessa, happy to have her rent paid for by her grandmother, is doing a stint in rehab, but as usual, she runs through the facility like Godzilla ran through Tokyo. And

Shoshanna is enjoying her last semester of undergrad by doing a walkabout with some of NYU’s dimmest students. Season two did not have a happy ending, only happy moments, but season three is already looking to have a more positive outcome. Aside from the serious cheeriness this season picked up, there are some other differences. The premiere lacked the humor the series had in previous seasons, although there were a few funny moments. The writing also wasn’t as strong as I expected it to be compared to previous episodes. Nice, happy endings are usually desirable, but the difficult moments from the past seasons were what made the series so strong. Lena Dunham had proved herself to be one of the strongest writers today, because each character was so complex. Very few writers handle conflict and the complexities of a person with a mental disease as well as Dunham,

but that edge is now missing as it seems that the major conflict from previous seasons has been resolved. The fate of the series inevitably lies in the next few episodes. Because last season wasn’t nearly as successful as the first, so much of its future rides in the first part of this season. Dunham and the rest of the show’s stars have to prove that the show is still worth watching. This premiere just was not as good. It was carried almost entirely by the second episode, where Jessa is confronted by her past and why she is the way she is. She is the only character who had not been developed in previous seasons. Overall, the episode is simple and just adequate enough to get by. The end of the premiere was perfect for the series because it showed how important the group of “girls” are to each other. They may not always have family around, but they always have one another.

Hampton’s confident play earns extra minutes, larger role by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Brooke Hampton, senior guard for the West Virginia women’s basketball team, knows this is her last go around in a WVU jersey, and so far, she has taken the opportunity and proved to be one of head coach Mike Carey’s best bench players. Her season began when the Mountaineers were ejected from the NCAA Tournament by Delaware in the first round in March. Carey told his team they would improve next year and to remain strong in the offseason. Hampton, however, didn’t wait until her team returned to schedule workouts in preparation the for next season. “I started getting back into the gym and shooting during the summer,” Hampton said. “I wanted to work on my shot to get my confidence back up. The workouts in the summer are what have helped my confidence so much.” Hampton’s confidence

is so high that her teammates and coaches have begun to take notice. Following a 94-47 win against Fairleigh Dickins on, Hampton led all benchscorers with a then-season-high 13 points, which included three 3-pointers while dishing out five assists. After the game, her coach praised her efforts, noting how confident his senior was playing. “Brooke is playing with confidence,” he said. “She knows she is going to get a lot of time, and you need to play with a lot of confidence. She is doing that. “We need Brooke to shoot to get people off our post players.” Ha m p t o n ’s s t ro n g shooting performances off the bench this year have helped alleviate some of the defensive pressure her fellow senior, Asya Bussie, faces. In many of West Virginia’s games this season, Bussie has a seen strong defensive pressure from the opposing team. With Hampton and other guards draining shots

from the perimeter, teams are now forced to come up and guard them, giving Bussie more free space to work on the block. As Hampton produces, Carey awards her more playing time. Last season Hampton only appeared in 27 games, during which she averaged nine minutes per game and 1.5 points. With her summer workouts and newfound confidence, Hampton has played in every game so far in the 2013-14 season and is now averaging 20.5 minutes per game while scoring 4.3 points. Hampton’s extended minutes have helped spark her team to their best start in the Big 12. The Mountaineers currently sit at No. 4 in the conference after suffering a loss to No. 7 Baylor Wednesday night. They have a chance to enter back into the top three as they prepare to travel to Iowa State for another Wednesday night matchup. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU’s Clarke set to play in East-West Shrine Game by greg madia multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia football program endured its toughest season in 11 years this fall, which meant its seniors didn’t get a final chance to showcase themselves to NFL scouts in a bowl game setting. Fortunately for Will Clarke, he has an opportunity Saturday. Clarke is set to play in the East-West Shrine Game at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. “I’m excited to play against all kinds of competition from all over the country,” Clarke said. “We play in the Big 12 (Conference), and we play against teams from the Texas region, so getting to play against players from the Northeast, South and West, it’s a really great opportunity.” For Clarke, he knows it’s the chance to prove to NFL personnel he deserves to get drafted for a shot at playing professionally.

“NFL scouts will be there during the practice week, and they’ll be there for the game, as well. I can show what I’ve been working on (and) what my training has done to prepare me for the next level,” Clarke said. In preparation for the Shrine Game and his potential NFL future, Clarke has been training in Pensacola, Fla., since the regular season ended. For Clarke, who stands at 6-foot-6 and 280 pounds, this will be an opportunity to prove to scouts his pass rushing ability has improved throughout his career. After totaling six sacks during the 2013 season, Clarke was happy he drastically improved his production in his final year as a Mountaineer. “Something I wanted to do was become more of a presence in the passing game, and I felt throughout my senior year I was able to do that by becoming a better pass rusher,” Clarke said. Being one of the smart players on the field can also

pay off for Clarke during his week in Tampa. With scouts evaluating him, he wants to show off his ability to play in both 4-3 and 3-4 defensive schemes. After talking to successful former WVU star and teammate Bruce Irvin on a regular basis, Clarke knows if he can be in both systems without much of a learning curve, he has a chance to separate himself as a prospect. “Me and Bruce (Irvin) talk a lot, even during the season. We have talks about the transition from college to the NFL. The biggest thing he told me is to make sure you know what you’re doing from the neck up,” Clarke said. “He stressed that to me, because that’s where the speed of the game comes from, learning from the film and studying, because that allows you to play faster.” The game will be televised on the NFL Network Saturday at 4 p.m. file photo

Top LSU running back Jeremy Hill announces pro decision BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU rushing leader Jeremy Hill is entering the NFL draft and one of his blockers, offensive guard Trai Turner, is joining him. In an announcement made Monday on a social media website, Hill says his decision was “very difficult.” Hill has played two seasons at LSU and was the Tigers’ leading rusher each season. He rushed for 1,401 yards and 16 touchdowns this season. Turner has started at right guard since the middle of 2012, his redshirt freshman year, and leaves

with two years of eligibility left. Hill’s college career was delayed a year because of a pair of misdemeanor pleas for which he remains on probation. Hill’s departure comes after Louisiana high school star running back Leonard Fournette announced he’d attend to LSU.

rifle

Mountaineers set for start of spring season this weekend by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 3 West Virginia University rifle team is returning for their spring season after a long break. The rifle team finished up fall competition undefeated at Navy in November. The Mountaineers currently hold a 4676 season average halfway through their first season. Many of the Mountaineers were looking forward to the break to be able to rest and prepare for the short but difficult spring season ahead. Several members of the team competed at the USA Shooting Winter Air Gun Championships at the United States Olympic Training Facility in Colorado Springs, Colo., in early December. Each competitor competed each day for three days – Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sophomore Garrett Spurgeon finished sixth overall with an aggregate score of 1852.5 after the three-day competition, followed by junior Meelis Kiisk, who came in 11th place overall after finishing the competition with 1845.4 total score. Redshirt freshman JeanPierre Lucas shot a total of 1837.3, placing 14th overall in the competition.

Junior Thomas Kyanko finished with an overall score of 1842.7 for the weekend, and senior Chance Cover shot 602.1 on Friday, 603.3 Saturday, and 600.5 Sunday for an overall score of 1805.9. Spurgeon and Lucas also received news they were selected for the 2014 Bavarian Airgun Championships junior level shooting. The championships are held in Munich, Germany, Jan. 19-26. The second half of this season will go by quickly for the Mountaineers as they will only compete against five teams before postseason competition starts, so every score matters, and the team knows it. The Mountaine ers open up their spring season Sunday against Great American Conference rival North Carolina State at home. Their next match will be on the road against Murray State Jan. 24 at the Winthrow Invitational in Murray, Ky., followed by a quick turnaround match against Memphis Jan. 25. The Mountaineers will face their toughest competition of the season in the same weekend. On Feb. 6, the Mountaineers will host Alaska Fairbanks. Alaska sits at the top of the NCAA rank-

ings, followed by No. 2 Kentucky, who the Mountaineers will host Sunday, Feb. 8 in Morgantown. Kentucky competed against Alaska-Fairbanks in its final match of the season. Alaska defeated the Wildcats, 4695-4689. The Mountaineers match against Kentucky and Alaska-Fairbanks in the conclusion of their regular season. Postseason for the rifle team begins Feb. 22 when the Mountaineers travel to Murray, Ky., for NCAA Qualifiers. GARC Championships will go be held March 1-2. Following the GARC Championships is the NCAA Championships, which are being held in Murray, Ky., this year and start on March 14. Knowing WVU’s championship history, many people expect the Mountaineers to repeat, possibly even themselves, but it’s not always that easy, explained Spurgeon. “There are a lot of pressures and expectations from last year,” he said. “You have to put those in perspective. It’s a new year, and we’re going to have new challenges. Obviously everyone wants to repeat, but that’s practically unheard of.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Sophomore Garrett Spurgeon aims at a target in a competition against Ohio State in the fall season.

Venus Williams out in 1st round at Australian Open MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Venus Williams was moving freely in her first-round match at the Australian Open, breezing through the first set and getting a look at another break in the second against a player who upset her sister here two years ago. That’s when things started to go wrong for her Monday, the first day of the season-opening major. The seven-time Grand Slam champion missed the break-point chance in the sixth game and then, after

getting to 40-30 on serve in the ninth, inexplicably firing three consecutive double-faults to surrender a break and just about the set to No. 22-seeded Ekaterina Makarova. After a quick break and a change of her self-designed zebra print dress, she took a 3-0 lead in the third before her unforced error toll climbed to 56 and Makarova won six of the next seven games for a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 win. The 33-year-old Williams, the second-oldest

player in the tournament, has struggled with injuries and illness in recent seasons but reached the final of the WTA event at Auckland to start 2014 and came to Melbourne saying she was feeling better than she had in years. “The last 12 months I have had issues,” she said. “But this year I definitely am looking forward to having a good run and feeling well.” That didn’t happen Monday. “My level was a little bit

The Daily Athenaeum

too up and down. Obviously my error count was a little high,” said Williams, the 2003 finalist who was playing in her 14th Australian Open. “I have to give her a lot of credit, though, she was very determined ... played hard.” Makarova said because it was the first match of the tournament, it was probably more difficult to beat Venus than it was to upset Serena Williams in the fourth round here in 2012. She’ll meet another American in the second round after qualifier Irina Falconi beat Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain 6-3, 6-1. Three-highlyranked players were beaten in the first round, including 2011 Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova and two Italians. Sixth-seeded Kvitova lost 6-2, 1-6, 6-4 to No. 88-ranked Luksika Kumkhum of Thailand, who was playing in just her second Grand Slam tournament after reaching the second round at Melbourne Park last year. No. 7 Sara Errani, the 2012 French Open finalist, was beaten 6-3, 6-2 by Julia Gorges of Germany and No. 12 Roberta Vinci lost 6-4, 6-3 to Zheng Jie of China. Two-time finalist Li Na beat Ana Konjuh of Croatia - the youngest player in the tournament - 6-2, 6-0 in 61 minutes to set up a meeting with another 16-yearold in the next round after Belinda Bencic of Switzerland accounted for 43-year-old Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krumm in three sets. Li, the 2011 French Open champion, is in the same half of the draw as No. 1-ranked Serena Williams, who was scheduled to play a night match against Australian teenager Ashleigh Barty. Wimbledon semifinalist Kirsten Flipkens was

the first woman into the second round when she beat Britain’s Laura Robson 6-3, 6-0. No. 9 Angelique Kerber, 2011 U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur, No. 14 Ana Ivanovic, No. 26 Lucie Safarova, No. 28 Flavia Pennetta, No. 30 Eugenie Bouchard of Canada and No. 31 Daniela Hantuchova also went through. American Madison Keys wasted five match points in the second set and another in the third before finally beating Patricia MayrAchleitner of Austria 6-2, 6-7 (8), 9-7. Eighth-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka, who won the recent Chennai Open in India, was the first man into the next round, advancing after just 15 games when Andrey Golubev retired with an injured left leg. Two other players retired due to shoulder injuries, with Alex Bogomolov Jr., quitting after losing two sets to No. 15 Fabio Fognini and No. 12-seeded Tommy Haas pulling out when he was down a set and a break against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Third-ranked David Ferrer opened with a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Colombia’s Alejandro Gonzalez and No. 7 Tomas Berdych beat Aleksandr Nedovyesov of Ukraine 6-3, 6-4, 6-3. No. 20 Jerzy Janowicz, a semifinalist at Wimbledon last year, rallied from two sets down to beat 19-yearold Australian wild card Jordan Thompson 1-6, 4-6, 6-4, 6-2, 6-1 in 3 hours, 16 minutes. Other men advancing included No. 9 Richard Gasquet, No. 14 Mikhail Youzhny, No. 17 Tommy Robredo, No. 19 Kevin Anderson, No. 23 Ernests Gulbis, No. 29 Jeremy Chardy, No. 32 Ivan Dodig and American Sam Querrey, who defeated Santiago Giraldo of Colombia, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (3).

NO SHOT

GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR @DAILYATHENAEUM

WVU right to keep coaching staff Early December through the end of January marks a time in college football that places athletic directors, coaches, players and fanbases in limbo. It’s a time of decision and indecision. Programs that struggle often fire their staff. Successful teams see their head coach jump to a better job or even leap to the NFL. Not only does the head coach move but a majority of the time, so does his staff. In the past weeks Texas fired Mack Brown, who was replaced just a week ago by Louisville’s Charlie Strong. Some of Strong’s assistants are going with him, while others are staying in Louisville to work for rehired head man, Bobby Petrino. At Texas, Strong has also called on Joe Wickline, one of the best offensive line coaches in the nation, leaving Oklahoma State with a vacant position. That’s just one situation. What about USC? That historic program saw four different men – Lane Kiffin, Ed Orgeron, Clay Helton and newly hired Steve Sarkisian – have the title of head coach in the calendar year of 2013. Think about the ripple effect Bill O’Brien leaving Penn State for the Houston Texans is having. Penn State has hired James Franklin, who reportedly will bring four assistants with him from Vanderbilt, which will likely include defensive coordinator Bob Shoop. My point is after seeing what a mess some of these situations have been, West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck made the right decision at the end of the 2013 season by giving a bode of confidence in Dana Holgorsen. Holgorsen then made the right decision in keeping the majority of his staff together, with the exception of not renewing Erik Slaughter’s contract and hiring Miramar’s Damon Cogdell, leaving eight of nine staff members returning this season. All the programs above are essentially starting over by hiring new head coaches. While I’m not saying these programs won’t be great again, I’m just saying they are in rebuilding mode for at least one season. And although WVU didn’t have a good season this past fall, hiring a new man would have halted the direction in which Holgorsen wants to take the program. Staff continuity is good for everyone, including the assistants and the players. Only 18 programs nationally returned its entire staff from 2012 to 2013 and it paid off: 14 of those programs reached a bowl game in 2013, including Baylor and Ohio State. By the start of spring football, Holgorsen will have had a full calendar year with his offensive staff. Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and wide receivers coach Lonnie Golloway have been with Holgorsen since he got to Morgantown, but running backs coach JuJuan Seider and offensive line coach Ron Crook were thrown into the fire right before spring football started a year ago. Defensively, and probably most importantly, there isn’t a scheme change. West Virginia will finally have the same defensive coordinator in back-to-back seasons. After Jeff Casteel and his 3-3-5 stack left following the Orange Bowl, Holgorsen hired Joe DeForest for the 2012 season. That version of the 3-4 defense didn’t work, and Holgorsen handed the defense over to Keith Patterson. Like it or not, with Holgorsen and staff back for 2014, the Mountaineer players won’t have to adjust to scheme changes or see new faces calling plays. No change in Morgantown is the best change for this program. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

KYLE MONROE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia guard Eron Harris rises up to take a shot during the Mountaineers’ 80-69 loss to Texas.

West Virginia suffers through cold shooting, falls 80-69 to Texas at Coliseum BY JOE MITCHIN SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University men’s basketball team’s test to put a tough, three-point home loss to No. 11 Oklahoma State behind them on short rest was answered with a sluggish, uninspired performance Monday night at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers lost to the visiting Texas Longhorns 80-69. WVU struggled shooting for the most of the night, making just 38 percent of its shots from the field. The loss drops the team to 10-7 overall and evened their record in the Big 12 up at 2-2. “We just didn’t make any shots,” said head coach Bob Huggins. “If you don’t make shots, you put your head down. If you make shots, you play harder. (Texas) made shots and we didn’t make any.” Junior guard Juwan Staten led WVU in scor-

ing with 23 points on the night. Staten and sophomore guard Terry Henderson combined for 39 of the team’s 69 points. “When you have to turn around and have only one day to prepare, sometimes you come out flat,” Staten said. “That’s what we tried to protect against, but we couldn’t make shots, couldn’t guard and just couldn’t do anything right.” West Virginia’s leading scorer, sophomore guard Eron Harris, finished with just six points, 12 less than his season average. Harris was just 3-of-11 from the floor and fouled out. The Longhorns, (13-4, 2-2) broke the game open when they closed the first half on an 18-4 run. West Virginia made just one of its final 10 shots before halftime and made just two field goals in the final eight minutes of the first half. Javan Felix scored a teamhigh 23 points in the victory. Texas shot 53 percent from the field.

Texas’ largest lead came with about six minutes left in the game when the Longhorns led by 21. They led for the final 31 minutes of the game. The Mountaineers were out-rebounded 49-30 in one of the biggest statistical discrepancies of the night. Texas came into the game No. 11 in the country in rebounding and No. 1 in the conference. Part of the struggles came from the lack of production from forward Devin Williams. The freshman scored just two points in 16 minutes and failed to record a rebound despite ranking in the top four in the Big 12 in that category. “We needed a big body,” Huggins said. “Devin (Williams) is the only big body that we have. We got out-manned.” WVU’s other Achilles heel came from behind the 3-point line Monday. The Mountaineers shot 4-25 from beyond the arc, their worst performance of the

soul-searching,” Henderson said. “We need to figure out individually what we can do to make this team better. We need to come together and work on our weaknesses.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Early foul trouble hurts Harris, WVU in loss BY KEVIN HOOKER SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The momentum of last night’s showdown between Texas and West Virginia completely shifted when Mountaineer guard Eron Harris left the game in the first half with foul trouble. Harris, who leads the team in scoring with 18.1 points per game, picked up his third foul with 11:11 left in the first half and sat on the bench for over nine minutes. Harris averages over 31 minutes per game. During his absence, the Mountaineer offense struggled mightily to find its shot. Although the offense rediscovered its rhythm in the second half, a 14-point halftime deficit proved too much to overcome and the Longhorns claimed the victory. “We took (good) shots,” Huggins said. “Remi (Dibo) took excellent shots. We just didn’t make them.” The dry spell was just a microcosm in a game that featured a stagnant and tired Mountaineer team. Even while he was on the court, Harris struggled to find his shot, scoring just 6 points and shooting 0-7 from 3-point range. He committed more fouls (5) than shot attempts made (3-11).

Guard Eron Harris fights for a loose ball against Texas. “We had a bunch of lapses,” Harris said. “(We were) out-manned.” The loss marks the second straight loss for the Mountaineers at home. WVU lost to No. 11 Oklahoma State by

1 point last Saturday in what appeared to be the strongest effort put forth by the Mountaineers all season. “I don’t want to make excuses,” Harris said of the quick turnaround. “Every-

body has to play games like that. People have bad games shooting wise, but we have to be able to rebound. We didn’t rebound our misses, and they rebounded their misses.”

West Virginia shot just 38 percent from the field, and 14 percent from 3-point range (4-25). “Two years ago I probably would’ve started crying in the game and tell my coach to take me out,” Harris said. “But I tried to stay emotionally level and keep shooting my shot because I know I can (shoot).” The Longhorns, who statistically have the best rebounding team in the conference, out rebounded the Mountaineers 49-30. WVU big man Devin Williams battled the flu all night, which perhaps explains his 2 point, 0 rebound effort. “Devin (Williams) wasn’t very good,” Huggins said. “When he’s not very good, then (the team) isn’t very good (in the paint). He’s our biggest player.” The loss drops the Mountaineers to 10-7 on the season, but more importantly, a 2-2 record in the Big 12 Conference. “It just wasn’t going for me tonight,” Harris said. “I’m mad about that. I’ll get some extra shots up. But that happens, and that happened to a few of us tonight. We won’t lay down and quit. We’re a team and we’ll keep fighting.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
