University Place move-in delayed

By Summer Ratcliff City Editor @SummerRatcliff

Future residents of University Place, West Virginia University’s residential-retail complex currently under construction in Sunnyside, were informed last week that construction is behind schedule and the building will not be available for occupancy by the announced mid-August move-in date.

Becky Lofstead, WVU Assistant Vice President of Com-

munications, said while some floors and rooms are ready for move-in, other areas are left undone and would not provide students with ideal living accommodations.

“With construction still going on in some areas, building systems being tested, furniture being moved in, landscaping and other final cleaning under way, WVU and the developer made the decision to delay move-in until all units are complete and the facility is 100 percent ready later this fall,” Lofstead

said. “We have alternate accommodations and students are booking those now until they can get into UPlace. Or they have the option of staying put for the semester and moving in at the break.”

Students with leases at University Place were given three alternative housing locations, including Beech View Place (no longer available due to demand), Campus Park at The Ridge, and WVU’s Medical Center Apartments.

Corey Farris, WVU Dean of Students and Director of

Housing, said the situation is one the University did not want to see happen, however he said their main priority is to ensure students have a safe living environment.

“We started out with a terrible winter and that was the biggest thing that really put us behind,” Farris said. “We are working with the students the best we can, we have alternate housing for everyone, no one is going to be out on the streets. We’ve got options

Dr. Ruth Kershner passed away July 10 and left a legacy at the University.

BY JAKE JARVIS A&E EDITOR @JAKEJARVISWVU

Many said she was an advocate, teacher, friend, mother, sister, mentor, respected speaker and one of the many reasons West Virginia University was such a great place to be.

Dr. Ruth Kershner, a professor of undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Public Health, passed away July 10.

“I’ve been here nine years, and I don’t remember a time I didn’t know Ruth,” said Melissa Chesanko, a diversity outreach assistant with the WVU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “She was a researcher, a teacher but most of all, a friend to anyone she met.”

A memorial for Kershner was held Monday in the Okey Patteson auditorium at Health Sciences Center North. There was such a high turn out that a spare, facebook.com “overflow” auditorium had Kershner shows her popular personality by posing for a picture with a peace sign. to be used as well.

With the many hats Kershner wore, many students knew her best as an advocate for marginalized groups.

She was extremely involved with student organizations like the Gender Equality Movement. GEM honored Kershner with the Vagina Warrior award, which is “in recognition of ongoing commitment to stopping violence against women and girls.”

Kershner taught classes that tackled sensitive issues, like women’s health and gender violence. Jesse Kalvitis, a former student of Kershner and now temporary lecturer in the WVU English program, said it was Kershner’s humor that allowed learning to take place.

Kalvitis once took two classes back to back with Kershner, each three hours long. For six hours on Tuesday, Kalvitis and her classmates were entertained by Kershner’s antics.

West Virginia University doctoral candidate in economics, Kaitlyn Wolf, has been invited to attend the fifth Lindau Meeting on Economic Sciences.

The conference, an assembly of Nobel economics laureates from around the globe, will be held in Lindau, Germany August 19-23, and will provide lectures, master classes and panel discussions.

Meeting administrators were impressed with Wolf ’s unique research because she has linked an odd correlation between visible inmate tattoos and recidivism rates.

Wolf has extensively studied whether people who are released from prison with visible tattoos return to prison faster than people with non-visible tattoos, and has found an employment barrier for ex-offenders and ex-cons.

“If two ex-cons interview for a job and one has a face tattoo and the other does not, then the one without the face tattoo is more likely to be hired,” Wolf said.

Wolf became interested in recidivism early in her career at WVU, and received her data for research from the Florida Department of Corrections because the state documents inmate tattoos, which includes descriptions and locations.

“Urban economics looks at how crime affects individuals and recidivism,” Wolf said. “If we’re paying $50 a day to house each prisoner, that adds

up if people are going back in if they’ve already been through the system.”

Wolf says she has found that people with visible tattoos return to prison faster and more often than people with non-visible tattoos.

Wolf is one of 460 developing economists from more than 80 countries to be selected to attend this conference.

“I’m really grateful for all of my professors and everyone who has helped me with the application process, and I’m really thankful to have been given this opportunity,” she said.

Wolf said she is looking forward to meeting John Nash at the conference in Germany, who is a mathematician from West Virginia and was the subject of the film “A Beautiful Mind.”

“I’m going to meet someone from West Virginia who is a Nobel laureate and I’m really excited about that,” Wolf said.

Wolf is from Braddock Heights, Maryland and aspires to teach economics at the university level.

Wolf said a faculty position would suit her best because she would be able to continue her research while teaching students.

“Attending lectures and interacting with top economists and scholars is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me,” she said. “I think it will be beneficial for me to be able to interact with young economists and build relationships with them that could last throughout my career.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Vantrease granted parole Ronald McDonald House hosts 19th annual Poker Run fundraiser

Austin Vantrease, 23year-old Delaware native, was granted parole by the West Virginia Parole Board after serving four years for his involvement in the 2009 fight that left West Virginia University student, Ryan Diviney, in a coma.

Vantrease was granted “deferred parole” until corrections officials in the state of Delaware can approve his home plan.

Vantrease and co-defendant Jonathan May were charged in connection with the Nov. 2009 fight that happened near the Willey Street Dairy Mart in Morgantown. Vantrease, who kicked Diviney in the head after he had fallen to the ground, was sentenced to 2-10 years for malicious assault. May, who threw the

initial punch, served seven months in jail.

Vantrease would have likely been released from prison next year after serving half of his sentence and that release would have included no supervision.

Ken Diviney, Ryan’s father, said he wasn’t shocked at the board’s decision because he believed members wanted to maintain some control over Vantrease.

“I think they were so concerned about him being in society that they wanted to maintain that sort of supervision over him,” Diviney said.

Vantrease has been serving time at the St. Marys Correctional Center and will be sent to Delaware once his home plan is approved.

Transgender women face difficulties at the Department of Motor Vehicles

By Jake Jarvis A&E Editor @JAKEJARVISWVU

Trudy Kitzmiller and Kristen Skinner, two transgender women from West Virginia, were denied in recent attempts to update their licenses to reflect their legal names and everyday appearances.

These two separate incidents have turned the public eye to the West Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and its policies regarding the treatment of transgender residents.

“All they were asking the DMV to do is to update the names on their driver’s licenses to reflect their new court ordered names and to take their photographs,”

said Michael Silverman, the executive director of the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund.

The TLDEF sent a letter on June 30 to Steve Dale, the acting commissioner of the DMV, stating the case and the need for the DMV to correct its actions.

“I do not condone or approve any conduct which embarrassed an applicant or would single an applicant out,” Dale said in an interview with CNN. This situation began on Jan. 7, when Skinner said she went to the Charles Town, West Virginia DMV. Skinner said she presented the proper paperwork to document her legal name change. Skinner said a problem with the camera

on the computer prompted a manager to come over to the agent helping her.

“The manager came over and before even addressing whatever technical issue the agent was having, the manager said, ‘Oh, it’s going to have to remove its wig and makeup and false eyelashes before we can take a picture,’” Skinner said.

Skinner said the makeup she wore was the same she wore to work every day and she found this language to be dehumanizing.

She then faced the ultimatum of removing her makeup or not getting a new license, which she said would present problems as she frequently travels for work. She finally surren-

dered and after two more hours of waiting, her picture was taken.

On May 10, a similar event happened to Kitzmiller.

This time, Kitzmiller didn’t even make it past the front counter. She too was called “it” and told to remove her wig, makeup and accessories. Kitzmiller said all of her other forms of identification show her as she appears every day.

Natalie Har vey, a spokesperson for the West Virginia DMV, said they have conducted an investigation and have found no evidence to support that any management or agent called either woman “it.”

After contacting the DMV, Harvey said Dale was

away on business and unable to comment.

“We don’t currently have any policy in place prohibiting wearing makeup,” Harvey said. “Where the problem comes in is that they are both still male on their identity documents.

We can’t move that to female until we have a court order.”

Harvey cited the rule 91CSR4.9.5 which says, “Any change of gender requires a court order specifically indicating the change is complete.”

Harvey said legally Skinner and Kitzmiller are considered male as they have not completed transition.

By coming in dressed as female they were “concealing” their true identity,

which Harvey said goes against the code.

“It’s not the job of the DMV to decide whether someone looks sufficiently masculine or feminine for a driver’s license photo,” Silverman said.

Harvey equated their actions to a person wearing sunglasses, scarves and other accessories that blocks their appearance.

For now, the DMV is making no plans to change its policies or allow Kitzmiller and Skinner to retake their photographs.

“I want to move on with my life and participate fully in society with an ID that accurately reflects who I am,” Kitzmiller said. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

WVU engineering team wins ‘24 Hours of Innovation’ competition in Canada

By Alyssa Lazar Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

A team of West Virginia University engineering students recently won the 24-hour innovation competition, held by École de Technologie Superieure in Montreal, Canada The team, who calls themselves the Y-Nots, consisted of WVU Engineering students Joshua Kurnot, Fares Alblouwy, and Kristin Krumenacker and ÉTS international students, Asmaa Rahali, Milad Naderi, and Sylvain Degue.

The competition gave participants 24 hours to develop a unique solution to a challenge that was posed to them.

The problems in the competition were designed to give students a better understanding of society’s biggest problems.

“The competition gave the chance to hundreds of students around the world to suggest their ideas about the present and future problems of societies,” said team-member Mohammad Millad Naderi. “I liked the idea of working 24 consecutive hours on a project and come out with a creative solution at the end.”

There were 20 problems that the teams could choose from. WVU’s team chose to “reinvent the stairs.”

The challenge required them to come up with a way to encourage more people to use the stairs, or “reinvent” them so that more people would use them.

The Y-Nots developed a reward system, where students could swipe their IDs before they used the stairs and after they used the stairs, and then accumulate points.

They also created sustainable stairs, whereby students would generate electricity each time they stepped on a step.

They then had to create a 2 -minute video describing what their plan was and how they would implement it into the challenge.

When asked why the YNots chose this problem, Kristin Krumenacker said, “we had to debate on which to do that best fit our team’s strengths.”

The team saw great success as out of 1,500 students across the five continents, WVU’s team won.

It wasn’t just the subject that led the team to their success. According to team members, it was a combination of the many attributes

The WVU engineering team works together to win ‘24 Hours of Innovation.’ among team-members.

“What I think made our team really strong was that we all took turns being the team leader,” said Josh Kurnot. “Someone was always jumping in to wrap up a discussion by reviewing the topics discussed and making an executive decision.”

“We all worked in harmony, and we could manage the goals and the time together,” said Fares Alblouwy.

Working with students from a different country also gave team-members an advantage.

“It was the first time that I was working with American students,” Naderi said.

“It was a good opportunity to see the way that they work in a team. This experience can be helpful for my international career.”

“I learned to be more confident in myself. I also learned how to work with people from all over the

world, how to better manage my time, and how to stay on task,” said Kristin Krumenacker.

Competing in the 24hour competition helped participants boost their confidence, and careers.

“I thought it will be a great opportunity to show my ability as an engineer,” Alblouwy said. “I learned that being an engineer requires you to be social and to learn from things in your environment. Study-

ing from books without experience will not do any good.”

89 killed in deadliest Afghanistan insurgent attack on civilians since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A suicide bomber blew up a car packed with explosives near a busy market and a mosque in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing at least 89 people in the deadliest insurgent attack on civilians since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.

The blast destroyed numerous mud-brick shops, flipped cars over and stripped trees of their branches, brutally underscoring the country’s instability as U.S. troops prepare to leave by the end of

the year and politicians in Kabul struggle for power after a disputed presidential runoff.

Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, the Defense Ministry spokesman, said the bomber detonated his explosives as he drove by the crowded market in a remote town in Urgun district, in the Paktika province bordering Pakistan. Azimi gave the death toll and said more than 40 other people were wounded.

Nearby hospitals were overwhelmed, and dozens

of victims were transported over dangerous roads to the capital, Kabul.

Ahmad Shah, a gas station employee who rushed to the site to help, said he loaded dozens of people who were injured or killed into vehicles.

“I saw the smoke, and the town was burning. There were dead bodies everywhere,” he said outside a hospital in Kabul.

Associated Press video footage of the aftermath showed mounds of twisted debris and the charred

shells of cars flipped over on top of one another. Azimi said more than 20 shops and dozens of vehicles were destroyed.

Many victims were buried in the rubble, said Mohammad Reza Kharoti, administrative chief of Urgun district.

“It was a very brutal suicide attack against poor civilians,” he said. “There was no military base nearby.”

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and the Taliban issued a statement denying involve-

ment, saying they “strongly condemn attacks on local people.” Several other insurgent groups operate in Afghanistan.

The U.N. mission in Afghanistan said initial reports “suggest that the attacker prematurely detonated after police detected the explosives in his vehicle.”

Several witnesses said the driver was in a four-wheeldrive vehicle and hit two vehicles parked on the edge of the market, leading police to open fire. Then the explo-

sion happened.

Abdul Khan, who is from the area, rushed to the hospital in Kabul to donate blood. “Most of the people in the town lost three to four family members,” he said, adding his cousin had been killed.

It was the deadliest insurgent attack against civilians since the U.S. invasion that ousted the Taliban in 2001. It exceeded the toll from twin bombings on Dec. 6, 2011, that targeted Shiite Muslims and killed 80 people in Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif.

ple, strangers even, to interact with her.

“I was like, ‘What is it about you that all of these students are begging to get into your class?’” Jasper said.

“I mean literally begging.”

From there, Jasper joined a large group of people who loved her. Countless friends and colleagues of Kershner said they found inspiration in her tireless efforts which pushed them to move forward.

“She really made you believe in herself,” Chesanko

said.

When Chesanko set out to write her dissertation earlier this year, she planned to do so in only three weeks. It was Kershner alone who said she could do it.

Chesanko then followed the “Kershner Method of Dissertation Writing,” which included lots of Irish cream.

Daniel Brewster, instructor in the WVU sociology and anthropology department, said Kershner would be the first one to call someone out for being too se-

rious. He said she wanted everyone to loosen up and have fun.

There has been no announcement as to who will take over Kershner’s responsibility at the university.

“I think her legacy can’t be measured,” said Brian Jara, a senior lecturer Center for Women’s and Gender Studies. “And, I think it will take a long time to get the full scope of her impact on all of us.”

students at the alternate locations and give them the option to move at that time or wait until the end of the semester,” he said. “We are here to make sure students are successful so we don’t want to hassle them with housing in the middle of their classes if they would rather wait.”

While the University is making great strides to ensure all students have safe housing accommodations by the beginning of the Fall semester, many students feel the efforts are simply not enough.

Samuel Richardson, a senior multidisciplinary studies student, signed a lease with a group of friends early in the leasing process.

Now, because the housing options given cannot accommodate the entire group, Richardson said they will be opting out of their lease and finding housing accommodations at a location where they can all live together.

“I am extremely disap-

pointed in the University. I thought I was making a safe and secure decision by putting my trust in the University when they told me the apartments would be ready,” Richardson said. “That trust has been violated and now my roommates and I have decided to pull out of the lease all together and search elsewhere for living arrangements.”

Richardson said the situation is disappointing to him because the available housing options currently available are not downtown.

“It’s a huge inconvenience to me and other students that don’t bring a vehicle to school,” he said. “Its disappointing because I really did want this to work out, I thought I was making the right decision, but I was really let down.”

Farris said the University shares in the disappointment of the students, and guarantees the students needs will be

handled effectively both prior to the start of the Fall semester and during the transition between housing locations.

“We are sorry this is happening, and we are as disappointed as our students are,” he said. “But at the same time we want to have the best place for students to move in to and its just not there yet. We aren’t going to give students a difficult time, we are going to take care of them.”

Because of the unknowns involved with construction, Farris said a completion date has not been set at this time.

“We are expecting completion some time in the middle of the semester, but we just don’t have an anticipated date,” he said. “We don’t want to set a date and then there be more delays and it not happen. As it continues to move toward completion we will have a better idea and will keep everyone updated.”

Kirk Judd returns to Morgantown Poets with new collection by jake jarvis A&E editor @jakejarviswvu

The English language can unite or divide a group of people.

On July 17 at the Monongalia Arts Center, the Morgantown Poets will unite for their monthly meeting, this time to celebrate the work of renowned author Kirk Judd.

“What poetry is actually is what comes out of the poet’s mouth,” Judd said. “What’s in the poet’s breath. What’s in the poet’s voice. The performance of the poem is the poem.”

Scott Emerson, the facil-

itator of Morgantown Poets, said that each month a feature author comes in to read their work or hold a discussion on writing. Afterwards, the floor is open for the public to read their own writings at an open mic.

“The open mic is very surprising,” Emerson said.

“There’s a lot of people in the public who read some really good stuff.”

If you haven’t heard of Morgantown Poets – don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Emerson said the group is happy with the quality of its meetings and the authors they acquire. He said that he does wish more

people were aware of the group, though “Most of the feature authors we have are within an hour radius of Morgantown,” Emerson said.

This allows audiences to get a “sample” of the local writing flavor. If you follow the trend of “eating local,” this follows similar logic: except this time, you’re reading locally.

Although Judd has already presented at the Morgantown Poets, he’s always eager to return.

His latest collection, “My People Was Music,” was recently published by Mountain State press. It was launched in June at the

annual West Virginia Writers Conference in Ripley, West Virginia.

To promote his new work, Judd has been working on touring and reading around the state. It was by luck that Morgantown Poets’ schedule lined up with his.

Much of Judd’s work is based on his understandings and appreciation of Appalachian people – specifically from the mountain state. He said he feels they have a strong connection with art, music and the earth.

In fact, Judd said most of his favorite poets come from West Virginia. His fa-

vorite, like many others, is former West Virginia poet laureate Louise McNeill.

“My poetry is very much tied up with the cultural heritage of WV and the music of West Virginia,” Judd said. “The collection is not only a full collection of poetry, it also comes packaged with a CD of spoken word performances with WV musicians.”

He stressed the importance he places on allowing his works to come alive, each time changing slightly with new environments he performs in.

“I believe poetry is an oral tradition much more

than a literary tradition,” Judd said. “I don’t really ‘read’ my poetry, I perform it.”

Judd said the best advice he could give a struggling performer, poet or writer would be to “see as many writers as possible.” He talked of the importance of getting out and seeing what this great state has to offer.

“I’m very proud to be a West Virginian and I’m very proud to be a West Virginian poet,” Judd said.

The show begins at 7 p.m. on July 17 Admission is free. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

JK Rowling teases longtime Harry Potter fans with new short story Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Spoiler Alert: The following review gives away crucial plot information of the Harry Potter legacy.

It has been four years and one day since one of the best

series of our childhood, and maybe our lives, was completed. On July 15, 2011 the second half of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films was released and fans were never looking back. The books and movies were over.

But apparently, not so fast.

Rowling reads “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” to fans.

Along with the recent opening of Diagon Alley in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Mrs. Rowling herself decided to give fans something else to cheer for with “Dumbledore’s Army Reunites at the Quidditch World Cup,” an article written from the perspective

businessinsider.com

of Rita Skeeter at the Daily Prophet.

If you consider yourself a Potter fan and have yet to read it, I encourage you to do so. I am still to this day a huge fan. There are still posters in my room (yes, at my apartment) and I watch the movies regularly.

Very similarly to the FIFA World Cup the world has been watching for the last month, the Quidditch World Cup is a pretty big deal to wizards and witches, and is very, very real. Rowling presents the tournament in the Desert of Patagonia and tells readers that a gang of infamous wizards might be at the tournament.

Skeeter brings us to the group of friends we all know and love. The last time we saw them was when they were bringing their children to Platform 9 ¾ several years ago.

Harry is about to hit his 34th birthday, and is Head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic. He and Ginny have their family of James, Albus and Lily Potter. Ginny stayed behind, but Harry and the boys came to watch the Quidditch World Cup and went to meet Viktor Krum, the seeker for the Bulgar-

ian National Quidditch Team.

Harry and Krum faced each other in the Triwizard Tournament in the “Goblet of Fire,” and things got complicated in the maze, so I wondered why he brought the kids to meet him.

As Rowling points out in this short story, “when your last name is Potter, doors open.”

Skeeter continues, bringing us through the group of friends and speculating whether marriages are doing okay and other typical nastiness that spews from the columnist’s pen.

Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are, of course, together. They have two children, Hugo and Rose.

Hermione works as Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and Ron co-owns Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes with his brother, George.

As an avid Potter fan, it’s hard to read these kinds of short stories because it brings back all of the emotions I originally felt. My friends also hate it. No one really understands the intense emotional roller coaster Potter’s story is unless you’ve been along for the ride.

It’s incredibly hard

to have something that lasted for years and gave you hope just suddenly be over — and then reappear!

I’m glad Rowling loves her fans enough to keep them up-to-date and it kinds of takes the heart break away a little bit. On the other hand, I can only speculate on the demand she has for producing wizarding content.

Maybe every six months or so she could release something. Is that too much to ask?

We are still wrapped around her finger and there are still many unanswered questions: What is life like at Hogwarts? What kinds of things does Harry deals with as an Auror? What happened to some of the others?

Overall, bravo Mrs. Rowling. You have done it again.

I cannot wait to read the next installment, which comes out July 31, better known to be Harry’s birthday.

There was a bit to be desired in the full disclosure of details and the perspective of Rita Skeeter might not have been perfect, but it was still worth the read. It renewed my hope at least. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Skeletonwitch returns to 123 Pleasant Street before heading to Europe by jake jarvis A&E Editor @jakejarvisWVU

Some call it death metal, some call it black metal and still some call it trash metal.

No matter what category of metal you put them in, Skeletonwitch is about as metal as they come.

Skeletonwitch is returning to 123 Pleasant Street Friday night. They bring itwith them all the trappings of a metallover’s heaven.

“If we tour with a death metal band, then we’re a death metal band,” said Scott Hedrick of Skeletonwitch. “If we tour with a black metal band, we’re a black metal band. I think we just love heavy metal.”

Skeletonwitch’s history shows this to be true. What started as a small college experiment in 2003 at Ohio University quickly became much more.

As with most bands, there have been changes to the original members. From the original 2003 gang, Chance Garnette, Nate Garnette, and Scott Hedrick have stuck around; Evan Linger came onto the scene in 2008 and Dustin Boltjes in 2011.

Skeletonwitch’s first al-

bum, “At One with the Shadows” was released late in 2004. For 10 years, Skeletonwitch has continued in the metal tradition, traveling thousands of miles across the United States and releasing five albums in total.

Since then, Skeletonwitch has been featured on Adult Swim with the song “Bringers of Death” in 2010.

Skeletonwtich’s most recent release, “Serpents Unleased,” came out Oct. 2013.

Grayson Currin in his review of the album on Pitchfork.com, said “More Cruel Than Weak,” a song from the album, is the song the band has been waiting for. He said it’s the band’s “anthem” and that it “builds, much like the band’s career has, in a slow, stepwise fashion.”

“Serpents Unleashed” has a fairly high Metacritic score of 77, with seven positive reviews and only two mixed ones.

Hedrick said the band loves touring and as much as they like recording music, they prefer to perform it for a large, raucous crowd.

“Don’t get me wrong, a small crowd, any size crowd is fine,” Hedrick said, “but the bigger the better.”

He said that many of the

band’s fans tell them they prefer to hear the live performance. With “Serpents Unleashed,” Skeletonwitch focused on bringing the sound and “feel” of a live performance to the recording.

Skeletonwitch is currently on tour, opening for Amon Amarth and Enslave, bands from Sweden and Norway respectively.

On July 26, the band boards a plane for Munchen, Germany, to begin a three weeklong tour around Europe. From there, it will return to the states for more tour dates through November.

With such a crazy tour schedule, Hedrick said he wasn’t sure when Skeletonwitch would be able to return to Morgantown. This date was chosen because it was one of the few days the band was free.

Tickets are $10 in advance when purchased at http://123pleasantstreet. com/. Otherwise, tickets are $12 at the door.

Opening for Skeletonwtich is Horseburner and Hericide.

The show begins at 10 p.m. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

Judd Hirsch to return to television BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

(AP) — Judd Hirsch is going from the ridiculous to the sublime in his newest TV roles.

The 79-year-old actor best known for “Taxi” appears in “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” about sharks unleashed on New York City airing July 30 on Syfy.

“They told me I was going to be eaten by a shark,” he said. “I said, ‘I’m

in.’”

Hirsch’s regular gig will be co-starring on the ABC series “Forever” that begins with a sneak preview on Sept. 22. He plays the best friend and confidant of Dr. Henry Morgan, the medical examiner in New York City who has immortality.

Only Hirsch’s character, Abe, knows his friend’s secret.

“Every once in a while,

the intelligence of a show just grabs me,” Hirsch said Tuesday at the summer TV critics’ tour. “To be able to develop a character, that’s a gift in television. To be associated with an experience that is unusual, a life that never seems to end, it’s always something to think about.”

The TV role is Hirsch’s first regular one since his five-year run on “Numb3rs” four years ago.

editorial

Trigger-happy? Some schools adopt new trend Trigger Warning: The following editorial talks about trigger warnings. Anyone with a past experience with trigger warnings might find the subject matter distressful.

To avoid discussion of trigger warnings, heed this trigger warning and put down the newspaper.

If you don’t know, trigger warnings appear at the beginning of some media to let consumers know the material might ‘trigger’ traumatic and stressful responses.

If you use Tumblr, you might have seen something like this. In recent months, news of higher educational institutions across the country have come to light, and

with it has risen a discussion: are we trigger happy?

Phillip Wythe, from The Daily Targum at Rutgers University, said that “‘The Great Gatsby’ possesses a variety of scenes that reference gory, abusive and misogynistic violence.”

There’s an inherent problem with trigger warnings becoming popular: too many people think the warning is for them. Slapping a trigger warning on whatever risque material that’s being distributed seems to be the “in” thing to do.

More people see them, more people read them and more people pay attention to what could upset them.

A trigger warning suggests that whatever media a person interacts with is potentially dangerous and that it could cause them harm.

Here’s the thing: some material should harm us.

Take, for instance, “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The material in this book should upset and cause distress in the reader.

Allowing a student to opt out of participating and interacting with this novel is wrong.

Luckily, this isn’t the point of trigger warnings.

Part of the problem is that by not having trigger warnings, select students are isolated based on previous life events. For example, a stu-

dent who is a victim of rape or sexual assault might not participate fully in a discussion on gender violence. This creates a paradox — how should healing from these events take place when the ones that need healed are overwhelmed?

Trigger warnings, and the use in the classroom, is all about balancing the interests of students with special concerns and the general population.

Angus Johnston, a history instructor at Hostos Community College, takes a middle ground approach to trigger warnings. At the beginning of his class, the syllabus students receive notes that at

any time a student wishes to step out of the classroom during a discussion, they may do so. He adds that they are responsible for any work they missed.

“If you ever wish to discuss your personal reactions to this material, either with the class or with me afterwards, I welcome such discussion as an appropriate part of our coursework,” it reads at the end.

This add-on at the end is what makes Johnston’s trigger warning so great.

Teachers have the responsibility of showing students new and sometimes material that is hard to swallow.

This knowledge should al-

ways come with the appropriate historical and cultural context.

To this end, professors at West Virginia University would do well to take note from Johnston and others. Be thoughtful to your students in how you present your material. Realize that every student comes to you with a different story, one that begs to be read.

And beyond trigger warnings, use this as an opportunity to fuel and open relationships between yourself and your students.

Pull the trigger wisely, fellow Mountaineers. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Medical marijuana: A safer alternative to prescription drugs? taylor jobin columnist @DAILYATHENAEUM

I have smoked marijuana. There I said it. Does it help that I have a medical prescription in the state of California? It doesn’t matter in West Virginia.

Here, marijuana in any context is illegal and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This leaves myself and anyone else with a medical condition that may warrant medical marijuana options up in smoke.

You may remember in January 2014, Del. Mike Manypenny (D-Taylor) introduced legislation that would have legalized marijuana for medical use in West Virginia.

It had the maximum number of cosponsors, nine, but was not allowed a hearing by the House Committee on Health and Human Resources, shelving the initiative for another year.

At the time, State Sen. Donna Boley (R-Pleasants) told the Parkersburg News and Sentinel, “We already have enough problems with prescription drugs…

We would be opening the door for more problems.”

I vehemently dis-

agree with this. Prescription drug abuse, specifically opioid addiction, is a tragic reality that has plagued West Virginia for decades.

“West Virginia has the highest drug overdose mortality rate in the United States, with 28.9 per 100,000 people suffering drug overdose fatalities,” according to healthyamericans.org.

Now, with party politics clogging the arteries of democracy, let’s get to the science.

Is marijuana a gateway drug that would lead to prescription drug abuse? Well, it depends on your definition of a gateway drug.

In 1999, Congress commissioned the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences to look at the possible dangers of medical marijuana.

They concluded that “in the sense that marijuana use typically precedes rather than follows initiation of other illicit drug use, it is indeed a ‘gateway’ drug.

“But because underage smoking and alcohol use typically precede marijuana use, marijuana is not the most common, and is rarely the first ‘gateway’ to illicit drug use.

There is no conclusive evi-

dence that the drug effects of marijuana are causally linked to the subsequent abuse of other illicit drugs.”

A 2012 study by the Yale University School of Medicine looked to see if there was an association between alcohol, nicotine and marijuana and if they played a role in leading adolescents’ subsequent abuse of prescription opioids during young adulthood.

The study found that you have a 25 percent chance of abusing opioids if you consume alcohol, nicotine and/or marijuana as an adolescent.

This leads me to the obvious conclusion that if you’re pre-disposed to trying mind altering substances at a young age, then you will be more likely to keep experimenting into adulthood, regardless of what drug you start out on.

A simpler way of saying this is if someone likes trying mind altering substances, it doesn’t matter where they start, they’ll keep experimenting until something stops them.

Conversely, if you have no interest in mind altering substances, then you wont try them in the first place and you have nothing to worry

Sarah Palin offers no help with border crisis, shows lack of intelligence jake jarvis a&e editor @jakejarviswvu

The influx of child immigrants from Central America to the United States has been the hottest topic in American media. With it, Sarah Palin has tap-danced into the spotlight with her threats of impeaching Obama.

This is a pathetic and desperate attempt to gain popularity in the public’s eye.

Here are the undisputable facts: thousands of children are now alone and in danger within our borders.

Many of them have fled from Honduras, which many call the “murder capital of the world.”

The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime reported earlier this year that Honduras had the highest murder rates in the world: 90.4 homicides per 100,000 people. Many of the children have traveled thousands of miles with no parental supervision.

Sure, they may not belong here, but they’ve come to our country because of our history of accepting oppressed and downtrodden people.

In fact, on the crown jewel of New York City, the Statue of Liberty, the inscription reads, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free…”

In a perfect world, I’d like to see our doors open wide for all who believe in the

DA

Sarah Palin meets with Sean Hannity on Fox News July 8 to discuss why she thinks it’s time to impeach President Obama.

“American Dream.” I recognize, however, that this is not a perfect world. An open door policy presents a host of problems for our country.

Putting idealism aside – what’s the end goal?

How can we reach a solution that balances the interests of U.S. citizens with that of the children refugees?

I’ll just say it: I don’t have a solution. Quite frankly, I don’t think anyone does – Obama included. And yet, Palin’s recent video that

threatened to impeach Obama is treated like a serious claim. Normally I ignore her antics, but I just couldn’t resist.

So what’s Palin pissed about now? Let’s pick apart her video from beginning to end: 0:08 – “It makes the battered wife say, ‘No mas.’”

She claims this “border crisis” is the last straw for the American people. Not only is her remark racist, but it also makes light of the serious issue of domestic violence.

0:53 – “It’s because of Obama’s purposeful dereliction of duties that an untold number of illegal immigrants will kick off their shoes and come on in.”

Obama is actually following the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, signed in 2008

by President George Bush.

This act, originally created to slow human trafficking, has created roadblocks in the court cases of the immigrant children.

2:52 – “Many [Americans] now feel like strangers in

their own land.” Oh, imagine how the thousands of children feel. Let’s go ahead and hang them out to dry. #Humanitarian 3:10 – “…as communities become unrecognizable and bankrupted...” I smell racism. It sounds like Palin has been taking notes from the southern strategy and uses code words to perpetuate racism under a plain folks visage.

3:50 – “Mark my words, he will next meddle in the U.S. court system with appointments....” Here’s

a pro-tip-for-Palin: article two section two of the constitution gives him the power to appoint judges with the Senate’s consent.

4:34 – “There’s a list of at least 25 impeachable offenses that I’ve seen.”

Name one. Every time Palin speaks about his “lawlessness” and “impeachable offenses” and “fraud,” she fails to give any concrete evidence.

“You don’t bring a lawsuit to a gun fight,” Palin said in an interview with Sean Hannity.

Yes, she actually said that. She also said in the same interview she might be leaving the G.O.P. if it continues to not stick to the “planks of the platform” she signed up for.

What’s most upsetting about this entire ordeal is knowing the real victims here are being forgotten for a loud-mouthed former governor of Alaska.

It’s all a matter of framing: conservatives are calling it the #BorderCrisis and liberals refer to it as #BorderChildren. Palin chooses to frame this as a chance to weasel her way back into the hearts and minds of voters.

Neither side, myself included, has an answer. But I can say for sure that Palin isn’t helping.

Let’s be the America I love – one that responds to world crises with grace and dignity for all human beings. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

A&E Alchemy readies for new show 6

WEDNESDAY JULY 16, 2014

by jake jarvis A&E editor @jakejarviswvu

The Alchemy Dance Project, a Morgantown semi-professional dance company, is deep in rehearsals preparing to open its show “Gathering Movement” at M.T. Pockets Theatre on July 24.

“It’s a show full of collections of pieces,” said Angela Dennis, artistic director and founder of Alchemy. “It’s kind of like a bouquet of flowers, to me. Some different things but all together a performance.”

“Gathering Movement” will feature work from the eight company dancers of Alchemy as well as six members of the Red Stone Dance

Initiative.

Davis formed Alchemy in 2004 to be a “concert performance” dance company.

She said the shows Alchemy produces are more concert oriented and often have themes that go throughout the performance.

Currently, company members participate on a volunteer basis. This might change, however, as Davis is looking into the possibility of Alchemy paying dancers while retaining their non-profit status.

“Because I’ve been back with my feet on the ground in Morgantown, it’s starting to develop more,” Dennis said.

“Growing the company is definitely in the plans for the next

several years.”

For three years, Dennis toured with the West Virginia Dance Company. She’s since returned to Morgantown, where she attended West Virginia University, a few years ago.

In addition to the WVDC, she studied under Diane Lewis at the Hochstein School of Music and Dance in Rochester, New York, and performed at the 2006 AAPHERD National Dance Gala in Baltimore, Maryland.

Later, in 2009, Dennis noticed many of her dance students in Morgantown, ages 10-17, were deeply committed to their dancing career.

Because they were under 18 years old, they were not eligi-

ble to be full-time company members of Alchemy.

“I thought, ‘There’s clearly a need for a kind of learning experience for some of these kids,’” Dennis said. “It’s sort of like a little sister to Alchemy.”

From this, the Red Stone Dance Initiative was born.

Dennis offers workshops during the season for members of the company to strengthen their skills. At any of these workshops, she invites members of Red Stone to join in. Dennis said it’s an important experience for young dancers to interact with experienced, older dancers.

Lauren Carter, a new member to Alchemy, found Dennis after noticing an advertisement for an upcoming audi-

tion laying around town. She spoke to a friend who knew of the company and decided to go and meet Dennis.

“I’m really glad I did because she’s opened so many doors for me,” Carter said.

“That’s the great thing about Angela — she will invest her time in every single dancer and give them the absolute best experience possible.”

Dennis wears many hats: dancer, choreographer, teacher, artistic director and mentor. She said she has struggled to find the balance between these roles as Alchemy has grown in the past five years.

If she had to pick one: “Choreographing. I don’t even have to think about it.”

“I like to paint. I feel that movement is almost an extension of that in another way,” Dennis said. “It’s this physical thing with real people that adds another element.”

As the resident dance company at M.T. Pockets Theatre, most of Alchemy’s shows take place there. For a full list of shows at Pockets, visit http://www.mtpocketstheatre.com/.

Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for adults. Tickets can be purchased online or at the doors.

“Gathering Movement” runs July 24-26 at 8 p.m. with a 2 p.m. performance on July 26. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

Cimb-A-Thon at Coopers Rock for all ability levels by mitchell glazier A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Rock climbers enjoy the adventure at Coopers Rock.

The 3rd Annual Cooper’s Rock Climb-A-Thon will be held on July 26th and will run all day on location in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia.

“The Climb-A-Thon is a wonderful opportunity for locals of any age to give back and have a great time while doing it,” said Andy Hershey, the owner and director of Cooper’s Rock Climbing Guides.

“We have climbers ranging from age 6 to their mid-sixties.”

The event will host a wide array of activities designed to cater to both experienced and inexperienced climbers.

A $25 registration fee is required from all participants, which will then be donated to the Coopers Rock Foundation and Paradox Sports. Paradox is an organization that provides recreational equipment to accommodate every participant’s needs.

Awards will be given to the top male and female particcoopersrockclimbingguides.com ipants who scale the most dis-

tance in the least amount of time. Additionally, an award will be given to the top fundraising participant.

Visit http://www.crowdrise. com. From there, find the 2014 Coopers Rock Climb-A-Thongpage. Next, participants can choose whether to join a fundraising team or continue as an individual climber. After a desired time frame is selected, and donation information is processed, registration is complete.

Upon completion, top donations will be tallied on the event’s homepage, where climbers can view their current rankings and statistics.

“A few years back, we put our skills together with a few nonprofit organizations to put the event together,” continued Hershey, “It was a pretty big hit, and we’ve kept it going ever since.”

Though available to accomadate climbers of all ability levels, it is advised that participants be of moderate fitness and endurance levels.

Attendants, volunteers and climbing experts will be on-site to facilitate the event and to ensure

the safety of every participant.

Judges will take into account both time and difficulty of climb for both sexes in determining the winners.

A third winner will be chosen by the highest amount of donation funds raised. This portion of the competition will run until the event’s close on July 26.

“Over the years, we’ve opened the event up so nearly everyone can get involved in some way,” said Hershey. “Regardless of age or skill level, we make the climb available to everyone.

For those who can’t attend but still wish to donate funds, a donation-only option is available. Donors have the option of giving money to an existing team or creating their own.

Donors will still be in the running for the top fundraising prize.

CONNOR MURRAY SPORTS EDITOR @CONNORKMURRAY

WVU facing early adversity When it comes to the off-season in college football, no news is generally good news. Unfortunately for West Virginia, one of its key contributors from the 2013 season is now involved in legal trouble that puts his future with the team in doubt.

Wendell Smallwood was arrested by West Virginia University Police Monday and at last update Tuesday afternoon, was awaiting extradition to Delaware, where it is reported he will face charges of intimidating a witness in a 2012 murder case.

At the risk of sounding coarse, that is where I will leave off with discussing the potential charges and the case in general. People’s lives have been and will be affected in a big way as this case unfolds, and I am not exactly qualified to discuss the ins-and –outs of it at this time.

What I do know is how something like this can affect a team, especially one that has a lot to prove.

To say Smallwood’s future with the team is cloudy might be an understatement. This is a player who had everything to gain heading into the 2014 season.

Coming into this season, the running back position appeared to be the deepest one on the team. Smallwood had a lot to do with that.

After showcasing his big play ability and versatility out of the backfield, in the passing game and on special teams in 2013, Smallwood figured to see an increased role in his sophomore season.

In light of the situation that was made public for the first time Monday, it appears West Virginia may be forced to move on without Smallwood for some time.

Whether this situation is resolved before the season is irrelevant. It will certainly be a distraction for this team. When things like this happen, they usually affect a team in one of two ways: division or galvanization.

The key factor in deciding which will happen is going to be running backs coach JaJuan Seider. While Dana Holgorsen will certainly talk to his team and deal with any issues that arise from this, Seider will be working side-by-side with the rest of this team’s running backs all season.

From the way Seider and the running backs talk during interview sessions, there seems to be a real family atmosphere in West Virginia’s running back room.

Now more than ever, Seider is going to have to emphasize that to his players.

There was already likely to be controversy in West Virginia’s crowded backfield this season. The controversy he has to deal with now is something much more complicated than splitting carries amongst a talented group of running backs, however.

Every team faces adversity in one form or another over the course of the season. West Virginia will have to overcome its own before fall camp even starts.

At the end of the day, and it bears repeating, this is about more than football.

In fact, football is a footnote when there are lives being affected in such a way. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown (center) looks on during a game in the 2013 season.

Izzo-Brown looking to replace program legends, continue winning tradition in Big 12

By Kevin Hooker Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The West Virginia women’s soccer team will look to repeat its success this upcoming fall and defend its Big 12 Championship crown.

In just two seasons in the Big 12, the Mountaineers have won three Big 12 trophies: back-to-back regular season titles and one conference tournament.

Led by coach Nikki IzzoBrown, WVU won its third conference title in four years and appeared in the NCAA Tournament for the 14th straight year.

“One of the reasons I got into coaching is making

sure that players accomplish their ultimate goals,” she said. “There (was) nothing more satisfying than seeing the girls win a Big 12 Championship title last season. That’s why I’m in it. I like maximizing player development.”

But it’s also the norm, she said.

“I always expect us to win conference championships and go as far as we can in the NCAA Tournament,” she said. “We’re here to win a national championship and a Big 12 championship every year. That’s always the standard--we have a standard of excellence.”

The Mountaineers were led by senior forward Frances Silva and goalkeeper

Sara Keane in 2013. Silva and Keane both play professionally now.

Silva graduated fourth in the program record book with 98 career points and 338 career goals. Keane’s 27 career shots rank No. 3 all time.

“Frances and Sara were just unbelievable leaders,” Izzo-Brown said. “You can never replace the experiences they had. They both contributed major minutes throughout their career. They always had a desire to make those around them better, and that’s what leaders do. They had a plan and incorporated everyone to make it happen.”

But the depth on roster doesn’t have Izzo-Brown

and team worried about who can fill their massive shoes. This year’s team only has three seniors and seven incoming freshmen.

“I think Kate Schwindel has always been that goal scorer for us. Kailey Utley and Kelsie Maloney have proven how effective they can be on the field,” said Izzo-Brown. “Freshman Amandine Pierre-Louis will be competing with the Canada U20 National Team for World Cup. I think those four can really give significant minutes, and of course we’ll see what the (other) incoming freshmen can bring.”

But Izzo-Brown also knows the path to repeat as champs won’t come easy.

The Mountaineers may have just lost one conference game last season, but it was against the team Izzo-Brown thinks is one of the toughest to knock off. WVU lost to Texas Tech 2-0 last season for a 7-1 conference record.

“I think Oklahoma State and Texas Tech are going to be super tough,” she admitted. “They were so young last year and they’ll be pretty tough. Texas Tech has a few amazing players also.

There’s a lot of parody in the Big 12, but I think those two are going to be really hard to beat this year.”

Experience abounds for WVU linebackers

By Connor Murray Sports Editor @ConnorKMurray

The narrative about West Virginia’s defense over the last two seasons has mostly been about how young and inexperienced the unit is.

In its first two seasons in the Big 12, West Virginia’s defense hasn’t done much to change that conversation, ranking No. 9 in the conference in total defense in 2013 after finishing No. 8 in the same category in 2012.

Heading into the 2014 season, however, it would appear things might be about to change. With first-year defensive coordinator Tony Gibson now leading the way, the Mountaineers have reason to be optimistic about the defensive side of the ball.

While each position group on the team has someone

with plenty of Big 12 experience under their belt, West Virginia’s linebacker corps is perhaps the deepest on the defense.

With three juniors and one senior listed as starters at each linebacker position on West Virginia’s post spring depth chart, the Mountaineers will have plenty of maturity to lean on in the middle of their defense.

After starting 19 of the first 24 games he has played in, redshirt junior Isaiah Bruce has been through the Big 12 wringer. Bruce began his career by starting 12 of 13 games at the SAM linebacker position as a redshirt freshman in 2012.

He made the most of his chance to start, finishing No. 2 on the team with 94 total tackles and was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team by the San Antonio Express-News.

Bruce followed up his breakout freshman season with a bit of a lull in his second season in Morgantown after making the switch from SAM to SPUR linebacker. He finished with just 43 total tackles in 2013, but found other ways to contribute, forcing three fumbles and recovering two.

Listed as the starter at the SAM linebacker spot on WVU’s post spring depth chart, Bruce will return to the position where he has been most productive in his career in 2014.

Nick Kwiatkoski was a rock for West Virginia’s defense in a tumultuous 2013 season. After being redshirted in 2011 and seeing action on at linebacker and on special teams in 2012, Kwiatkoski started 10 games for the Mountaineers in 2013 and led the team in total tackles with 86.

Especially after teammate

and fellow linebacker was lost for the season after tearing his ACL against Texas in November, Kwiatkoski became one of the leaders of West Virginia’s defense in 2013. For the defense to realize its full potential in 2014, Kwiatkoski will have to be as consistent at the MIKE linebacker spot, if not more so in 2014.

In his junior season in 2013, Brandon Golson made an im-

pact for West Virginia, forcing five fumbles and making 31 solo tackles from the BUCK linebacker position.

As a senior, Golson figures to see plenty of the field in 2014. Listed as the starter at the WILL linebacker position, Golson will look to continue to be a difference maker in the middle of the field. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Smallwood arrested on intimidating witness charge West Virginia running back Wendell Smallwood was arrested by University Police in Morgantown Monday. The sophomore faces extradition to his home state of Delaware, where he will be charged with intimidating a witness in a murder case according to a statement from the Wilmington Police first reported by delawareonline.com.

Wilmington Police Cpl. Mark Ivey told delawareonline.com Smallwood made an attempt to get a witness to recant his statements that implicated his friend, Zakee Lloyd, who is charged with first-degree murder in a 2012 case.

Lloyd is still awaiting trial for the murder of 51-yearold Manuel Oliveras, who

was shot and killed Apr. 14, 2012.

This incident clouds what appeared to be a bright future for Smallwood at West Virginia, who rushed for 221 yards and averaged 5.7 yards per carry as a true freshman in 2013.

“I have been briefed on the situation regarding Wendell Smallwood. We are looking into the matter and will take action at the appropriate time,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

According to reports Tuesday afternoon, Smallwood was being held in North Central Regional Jail awaiting extradition to Delaware.

WVU secondary looks to keep up in fast-paced Big 12

By Kevin Hooker Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The West Virginia Mountaineers don’t have a ton of experience on either side of the ball, but their secondary will look to provide the most in 2013.

Experience is only obtained by multiple repetitions, and the Mountaineers can certainly vouch for that after just two somewhat unsuccessful seasons in the Big 12. But the maturity that comes with it is an immeasurable quality – one that can single-handedly carry a team back to its winning ways.

“I would say that it’s the strongest it’s been since I’ve been here,” said WVU secondary and special teams coach Joe DeForest. in an interview with WV Illustrated. “I think it’s improved because of the experience. Like I said, two years ago they were freshmen doing it. Now they’ve

matured. So I think experience is going to help us in the long run.”

The Mountaineers secondary is led by hard-hitting junior free safety Karl Joseph, who led the team in tackles as a freshman and recorded 68 in 2013.

He was also among the nation’s leaders in fumble recoveries with four in 2013.

Sophomore cornerback Daryl Worley has not only become a lockup corner, but also has the leadership skills inside the locker room that expand well beyond his actual years.

Worley will be joined on the field by fellow cornerbacks that have all seen plenty of time over the last few seasons. Senior Ishmael Banks, juniors Terrell Chestnut and Ricky Rumph, and redshirt sophomore Nana Kyeremeh will all play major roles in the secondary as well.

As Mountaineer and college football fans know, passing attacks in the Big

12 are no joke. Quarterbacks and teams can put up absurd passing numbers especially with a weaker secondary.

Baylor led the nation in total offense last year, averaging 618 yards per game. Two other Big 12 teams joined Baylor in the nation’s top 50 total offenses – Texas Tech (No. 11) and Oklahoma (No. 49).

Making big plays holds the keys to success. The Mountaineers secondary was doing little of that two years ago and was widely considered as one of the worst in Division-I FBS College Football in 2012.

But in two years the secondary has grown up in such a way that those young players are now considered veterans.

They’re planning on putting the past behind them, and hoping to write a new script for the future. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Oscar Pistorius gets into argument in night club JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Oscar Pistorius was in an altercation at an upmarket nightclub over the weekend, his family said Tuesday.

Pistorius went with a cousin to a trendy Johannesburg nightclub on Saturday, where he was accosted by a man who aggressively questioned him about his murder trial, a family spokeswoman said.

The man gave a different version, saying the double-amputee runner was drunk, insulted his friends and the family of President Jacob Zuma and poked him in the chest, according to Johannesburg’s Star newspaper.

Regardless of who started the argument, the weekend episode focuses fresh attention on the disputed character of Pisto-

rius, a globally recognized athlete who is on trial for murder after he fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through a closed toilet door on Feb. 14, 2013. Defense lawyers describe Pistorius, currently free on bail, as a vulnerable figure with a disability who pulled the trigger in a tragic case of mistaken identity, but prosecutors portray him as a gun-ob-

sessed hothead who shot Steenkamp after the couple quarreled.

The trial is on a break ahead of closing arguments on Aug. 7-8, sparing Pistorius the near-daily trip to the Pretoria courthouse, where he has sometimes wept and wailed in apparent distress during testimony.

The nightclub argument has put him back on the front pages of South Africa’s press, which has also highlighted a number of quotations about suffering and religious faith that appeared on his Twitter account in the hours that followed.

The altercation in the nightspot cannot be a factor in Pistorius’ trial, said a legal analyst who has closely followed proceedings.

“It would not be appropriate to mention it in closing arguments as it would constitute hearsay as no previous witness has entered evidence of it on the trial record,” Kelly Phelps, a senior lecturer in the public law department at the University of Cape Town, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

“If it had occurred earlier in proceedings the gentleman concerned could have been called as a witness or Mr. Pistorius could have been questioned on the reports. Even then it would have very little value. The most important thing the court needs to determine is what Pistorius was thinking and how he was acting on the night in question,” wrote Phelps, referring to the night on which Pistorius

killed Steenkamp.

Pistorius had been barred from consuming alcohol under early bail conditions, but the ban was rescinded after the defense appealed.

He was seated in a quiet booth in the VIP section of the nightclub before he was approached, said Anneliese Burgess, a spokeswoman for the Pistorius family.

“The individual, according to my client, started to aggressively interrogate him on matters relating to the trial. An argument ensued during which my client asked to be left alone,” she said in a statement.

“Oscar soon thereafter left the club with his cousin.

My client regrets the decision to go to a public space and thereby inviting unwelcome attention.”
