FESTIVAL of

IDEAS Richardson talks public service

BY Summer Ratcliff & Sam Bosserman DA Staff @DAILYATHENAEUM

The David C. Hardesty Festival of Ideas kicked off its 2013-14 speaker series Monday night with a lecture by former U.N. ambassador and New Mexico governor, Bill Richardson, at the Erickson Alumni Center.

Richardson’s lecture focused mostly on issues relating to international diplomacy and the role of the U.N., and he also spent time en-

couraging students to make a difference in their own lives.

“Any time I speak to a young audience, I urge them to go into government; it’s a noble cause,” Richardson said. “I think public service, in state or city government, or even the national government or a diplomatic position; I think every young person should do some stint to round out their lives.”

Richardson said he knew some of his ideas were not popular ones, but said he believed they were topics that needed to be discussed.

Freshman advertising student Ben Wasser said Richardson did a masterful job navigating his way through the potentially controversial issues.

“He made very good points without coming across as biased on the situation. He clearly believes in what he was saying,” Wasser said. “He was very passionate; he isn’t the typical politician that reads from a script. He is experienced; he has the knowledge and education to back up everything he says.”

Model UN students learn from former US ambassador

By Summer Ratcliff city editor @SUMMERRATCLIFF

It’s not every day a college student has the opportunity to sit in an intimate setting and receive wisdom and advice from a former United Nations ambassador, governor or congressman, let alone a person who has occupied all three of these position and more.

On Monday, members of the West Virginia University Model U.N. Club had the honor of speaking with Bill Richardson, a former congressman, governor, U.N. ambassador, Secretary of Energy, and presidential candidate, prior to his Festival of Ideas lecture.

During his discussion with club members, Richardson spoke about his time at the U.N. and the importance of interna-

tional relations in today’s world.

Richardson said the structure and focus of the current U.N. is quite similar to the issues of his time at the assembly, because both were during a time of enormous tension.

“When I was there the big fight was against Iraq and Saddam Hussein, we were trying to get him to stop developing his weapons of mass destruction,” he said. “Today its Syria and the chemical weapons they are using there.”

Current events surrounding the violation of human rights of the Syrian people caused Richardson to focus his talk on his perspective on the issues at hand.

Richardson said he believes because the United States is a super power and the democratic leader of the world, there is a level of assumed respon-

There’s a new club on campus, and it’s attracting the professionals that could land students a career. The Art of Networking, a club that promotes the importance of making important connections within the professional world, is now available at West Virginia University.

WVU sports management student Rebecca Burkhart partnered with students and officials to help create the club.

“This club was the idea of Professor Valez-Colon and Marc Williams,” Burkhart said.

Williams owns a communications firm and is currently at WVU working toward a doctoral degree.

On campus, Williams said he found kids do not know how to network properly. He then approached students to help him start the club.

The first club meeting was two weeks ago with nearly 50 attendees.

The club is open to students of all years and majors.

However, Burkhart said the club is doing more than simply networking with professionals.

“The club has monthly meetings,” Burkhart said.

“This past Saturday, 42 students went on a trip to the Philadelphia Phillies where they met with senior executives.

“The purpose of the club is to help students learn the art of networking and how to incorporate networking into everyday situations to expand not just your sphere of contacts but your chances for success,” Burkhart said.

Lauren Fozard, a junior sports management student, said she joined the club to increase her skills.

“I joined the Art of Networking Club in order to further my communication and networking skills,” Fozard said. “We’ve all been told to network but we have never been taught the proper techniques and tricks, so this club is a very good opportunity to

sibility to lead in times of a human rights violation, whether the U.N. is in support of the intervention or not.

“I think we have a responsibility to lead and I did support (possible) military air strikes against Syria,” he said. “I think the U.N. is a very useful institution, but as a super power we don’t need to use it every time. There are certain areas like the Middle East where we don’t want the U.N. involved.”

During his time as an ambassador to the U.N., Richardson said he had the opportunity to work on negotiations in various parts of the world, including talks with Saddam Hussein and in North Korea.

From high level executives to students in her major, Fozard said attending the Phillies trip was a successful networking experience.

“I gained so much from the Phillies trip,” Fozard said. “We had such an amazing opportunity that most college students do not receive. We had the chance to network and communicate with highlevel executives in our industry and receive career advice.”

Fozard also said speaking to highly p r o f e s s i o n a l executives was easier than she imagined.

“Speaking to the high level executives actually felt perfectly normal,” she said.

Mountaineer Week 2013 is rapidly approaching, and the West Virginia University Foundation is on the lookout for the 2013 Most Loyal West Virginian, Most Loyal Alumni Mountaineer, Most Loyal Faculty Mountaineer and Most Loyal Staff Mountaineer.

The awards will be given Nov. 9 during the half-time ceremonies of the WVU football game against Texas, and nominations for the awards are currently being accepted.

“Our ‘Most Loyals’ competition is meant to celebrate someone in the state and someone within the University that has really shown loyalty to WVU,” said Jackie Riggleman, co-chair of this year’s Mountaineer Week.

All four awards contain unique requirements, but according to the Mountaineer Week website, all Loyals must be individuals who show faithfulness to the person, ideals and goals of West

Virginia and WVU. Riggleman said the nomination forms are available online and can be emailed to faculty and staff. Once the nominations all come in, the forms go to a selection committee within the WVU Foundation. From there, the winners are chosen.

“They look for someone who truly embodies the WVU spirit,” Riggleman said.

“If it’s going to be our most loyal West Virginian, it’s going to be someone who not only has given to the University in some way, but they have that WVU spirit you can find walking through campus every day.”

Once the winners are chosen, they will receive a Mountaineer plaque at Milan Puskar Stadium.

The Most Loyal competition is a tradition that has been kept alive since 1974.

“This award is truly a special part of Mountaineer week, because it’s about celebrating our heritage, our history and our culture,” Rig-

gleman said. “WVU is such an important part of our state that we feel it’s very important to honor those people that help make WVU thrive.”

Those nominated for Most Loyal West Virginian must be a West Virginia resident and must have shown loyalty to the state. Those nominated for Most Loyal Alumni Mountaineer must be an alum of the University must have shown leadership through WVU activities.

The Most Loyal Faculty and Staff Mountaineer awards will go out to those currently employed fulltime by the University, and they, of course, must be loyal Mountaineers.

Mountaineer Week will be held Nov. 1-10.

Organization to offer unique spring break opportunity

By Alexis Randolph Correspondent @DAILYATHENAEUM

Students who want to spend spring break making a difference have a new opportunity though West Virginia University’s own chapter of the Public Health Brigade.

The Brigade travels to impoverished countries and improves living conditions. This year, the WVU chapter of the Public Health Brigade is traveling to rural Honduras.

The group is open to all majors and students.

ambassador, and a member of the Security Council, you have a lot of power,” he said. “It was a lot of fun.”

Franklin Roberts, a sophomore political science student, had the opportunity to hear Richardson speak and said he was impacted greatly by the stories Richardson told about meeting face to face with Saddam Hussein and other brutal dictators.

“It made me realize that as vilified as these men are in the press, they are still people who can be reasoned with,” Roberts said.

Senior international studies and philosophy student Farah Famouri said she highly enjoyed the opportunity to talk with

Collin Lopez, a sophomore international studies student, said the Brigade is trying to include a variety of students.

“When I went down last year with the Global Medical Brigade, the last day we did Public Health Brigade work. They told us there was no chapter at WVU, so in starting this we are trying to get students from all majors,” Lopez said. “We (are) trying to not limit who can go. If you want to go help someone over spring break instead of partying, you can come with us.”

The Brigade works to build eco-stoves, concrete floors, latrines, showers and water storage units.

With 15 or more students, one chapter is able to finish all of these projects for two families in one week.

According to Lopez, the people are grateful and truly enjoy the Mountaineer spirit.

“It truly is one of the most fulfilling experiences. They are so grateful to the point that they let us put the Flying WV on the side of their home,” Lopez said. “When you can combine fun and actually

making a difference in the world, I don’t see where there is a toss up.”

The volunteers stay at a compound where they are able to interact with fellow volunteers from other brigades.

Without any fundraising, the out-of-pocket cost for a student can be around $1,500. However, students have the option of participating in fundraising through the club.

Students are able to work concession stands at Mountaineer Basketball games to help offset the cost of the trip.

According to Lopez, financial issues should never be a reason to keep people from participating in the club.

Public Health Brigades is a program through Global Brigades, a nonprofit international group.

This group acts as the largest student-lead global health and development organization.

This year ’s Public Health Brigade will take place March 8-14, 2013.

To learn more about the Public Health Brigades, students can attend an informational meeting this

former governor Richardson in such an intimate setting.

“I was overwhelmed to actually meet someone who I had seen give speeches on TV in the past,” she said. “(He) is such an important figure in the international relations spectrum ; I will always remember the points and tips he gave.”

Famouri said Richardson’s talk showed her the outcome of international negotiations can depend on many factors, including things as simple as body language of the people involved in the discussions.

“It’s not just the issues that are discussed,” Famouri said. “Sometimes it’s how you greet a person or present yourself that is just as important.” summer.ratcliff@mail.wvu.edu

Kenyan officials claim last push to end mall siege

Ben Curtis/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

A member of a Kenya Police dog-handling team makes a phone call after a heavy bout of gunfire subsided, near the Westgate Mall, in Nairobi, Kenya Monday.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenyan security forces battled al-Qaida-linked terrorists in an upscale mall for a third day Monday in what they said was a final push to rescue the last few hostages in a siege that has left at least 62 people dead.

While the government announced Sunday that “most” hostages had been released, a security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 were still being held by a band of attackers described as “a multinational collection from all over the world.”

Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said “two or three Americans” and “one Brit” were among those

who attacked the mall. She said in an interview with the PBS “NewsHour” program that the Americans were 18 to 19 years old, of Somali or Arab origin and lived “in Minnesota and one other place” in the U.S. U.S. officials said they were looking into whether any Americans were involved. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday that the department had “no definitive evidence of the nationalities or the identities” of the attackers.

The security expert, who insisted on anonymity to talk freely about the situation, said many hostages had been freed or escaped in the previous 24-36 hours, includ-

ing some who were in hiding.

However, there were at least 30 hostages when the assault by al-Shabab militants began Saturday, he said, and “it’s clear” that Kenyan security officials “haven’t cleared the building fully.”

Flames and dark plumes of smoke rose Monday above the Westgate shopping complex for more than an hour after four large explosions rocked the surrounding neighborhood. The smoke was pouring through a large skylight inside the mall’s main department and grocery store, where mattresses and other flammable goods appeared to have been set on fire, a person with knowledge

The explosions were followed by volleys of gunfire as police helicopters and a military jet circled overhead, giving the neighborhood the feel of a war zone.

By evening, Kenyan security officials claimed the upper hand.

“Taken control of all the floors. We’re not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them,” Police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter.

Kenya’s Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said the evacuation of hostages had gone “very, very well” and that Kenyan officials were dents and the general public to listen to guest speakers from both the Phillies and MTV about the importance of networking.

“very certain” that few if any hostages were left in the building.

But with the mall cordoned off and under heavy security it was not possible to independently verify the assertions. Similar claims of a quick resolution were made

by Kenyan officials on Sunday and the siege continued. Authorities have also not provided any details on how many hostages were freed or how many still remain captive.

Three attackers were killed in the fighting Monday, Kenyan authorities said, and more than 10 suspects arrested. Eleven Kenyan soldiers were wounded in the running gun battles.

Somalia’s al-Qaida-linked rebel group, al-Shabab, which claimed responsibility for the attack, said the hostage-takers were well-armed and ready to take on the Kenyan forces.

An al-Shabab spokesman, Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage, said in an audio file posted on a militant website that the attackers had been ordered to “take punitive action against the hostages” if force was used to try to rescue them.

The attackers have lots of ammunition, the militant group said in a Twitter feed, adding that Kenya’s government would be responsible for any loss of hostages’ lives.

‘Grand Theft Auto V’ fufills gamers’ expectations Boys & Girls Club to host Cory Sanchez CORRESPONDENT @dailyathenaeum

After getting eaten by a shark, flying an airplane into a skyscraper and starting a street gang shootout, “Grand Theft Auto V” has left my mind stupefied with complete satisfaction.

Rockstar Games has created a product that not only allows the gamer to control a character’s reactions but also what seems to be a living, breathing world. The gameplay is vast and cannot be fully discovered in the first 24 hours of play. From my time playing, I was able to make note of the incredible story mode.

After the opening scene fades out, I’m soon put into a world where masked men are directing hostages while a woman whimpers. The dialogue then directs me to set off a bomb near a walkthrough vault. Explosions occur as money is wiped across the floor; not too much later, gunfire erupts.

GTA V delivers beautiful aesthetics. The first few scenes of the game captured my full attention, from the bullets whizzing to the skidding cars on the icy escape route.

The detail is even more remarkable after reaching a stopping point between missions.

I could make a choice between doing events and side missions that appear. The missions included heists and picking up hitchhikers, while an event, on the other hand, consisted of doing things like manipulating the stock market and investing in names such as “CoolBeans” and/or “TacoBomb.”

As I explored more, it allowed me to also discover smaller aspects of GTA V. Los Santos, San Andreas, is a sight to see, as the game developers made a close replication of Los Angeles. As I drove through the city – in a stolen car – I could see smog billowing over the tallest buildings, hear people arguing in Spanish about an accident and watch as gangs run rampant.

The work put into the San Andreas universe is just as great as the gameplay during actual missions.

There is now a new feature that allows real-time player swap. Although the feature is not always available and is usually set within the mission mode, I enjoyed being held hos-

fundraiser at popular club

BY NICOLE CURtain CORRESPONDENT @Dailyathenaeum

Going downtown is part of the nightlife for students here at West Virginia University. Many students enjoy going to the bars and clubs with their friends, no matter what day it is. Tonight, one popular club is giving back.

A fundraiser, organized by senior communications studies student Frank Bartuccelli, will be held tonight at Lux Nightclub for the Mountaineer Boys & Girls Club.

According to Bartuccelli, the Boys & Girls Club is more than just an after school daycare program.

“The kids who go to the Boys & Girls Club here receive homework help, get to play sports and other physical activities, and their parents can afford it,” Bartuccelli said.

A portion of the money collected at the door at Lux, as well as any other donations made, will go to the Boys & Girls Club in Morgantown. Students in grades 1-12 can be part of the Boys & Girls Club, which has programs outside of school, as well as programs for students who need care over the summer and on days

tage to switch to my other character and take aim at an unfortunate gunman.

The gameplay has even made strides in character improvement. The realism is genuine in personality, from the simple hand gestures to hilarious husband and wife feuds.

Rockstar has updated the fighting system to allow each character special adrenaline rushes. For example, a character can slow down time to knockout 15 cops.

Another innovative find in GTA V is the iFruit, which is like a mix of an iPhone and Android. The phone can help you organize your contacts, emails, checklist and settings. Not

to mention, a phone application released for the iPhone works as a companion with the video game’s iFruit.

The bad news with GTA V, I’m sorry to say, is that it did not give out the entire product.

The game will not be online until Oct. 1, and there still is not an application of iFruit for Android or Windows phone users.

Other than the delays, the game will continue to steal a lot of my time, which is why I give it five stars.

when school is closed.

Recently the organization had to move from its downtown location to South Middle School.

Students who go to the Boys & Girls Club can participate in programs such as “Power Hour.” On certain days of the week, an hour is taken where students can choose to do homework, study or be tutored on a subject.

“The staff at Boys & Girls Club is mainly volunteers, so donations will go to things that the club needs, like school supplies,” Bartuccelli said.

According to Bartuccelli, since the location change, the organization is trying to “get back on their feet,” and all donations will help.

The Boys & Girls Club hosts a few other fundraisers throughout the year, such as their annual talent show, but the event at Lux is a chance for the college students and local businesses to give back.

Students going downtown tonight can help the community with their donations. For more information about the Mountaineer Boys & Girls Club, visit their website at www.mbgclub. org, or call 304-292-7510. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Banned Books Week: A review of banned/CHALLENGED classics

Throughout this week, we will be featuring reviews of a variety of banned and challenged books in honor of Banned Books Week.

‘The Great Gatsby’ portrays life, partying in the 1920s ‘Lord of the Flies’ showcases tragedy at a young age Westley Thompson Correspondent @Dailyathenaeum

“The Great Gatsby” is a cornerstone of American literature, a historical piece about life in the 1920s, a classic tale of extravagance and lost love and is classified as a challenged book according to the American Library Association.

It’s surprising “Gatsby” has been challenged, despite being a reading requirement for many high schools. Foul language, sexual content, depictions of partying and alcohol use and the use of morally corrupt characters are factors which challenge the book.

With a list of grievances like that, one can only assume that Satan penned this novel himself, under the pseudonym Fitzgerald.

First, for those who haven’t read the book, or have simply just forgotten, here’s a quick refresher.

“The Great Gatsby” is a story narrated by Nick Carraway, a young man who has just moved to Long Island, N.Y. Through his narration, Nick details the life and events of his neighbor and friend, Jay Gatsby, an eccentric and seldom-seen millionaire, known only by most for his frequent and lavish parties.

Throughout the course of the novel, Nick learns about Gatsby’s mysterious past and his relationship to Daisy and Tom Buchanan, a wealthy couple from across the lake.

The novel deals with obsession, corruption, the meaning of identity, relationships, love, morality and the “gilded” American dream.

“Gatsby” is an excellent book and one of my personal favorites.

Sexuality and foul language are possibly two of the funniest complaints about this novel, because they are completely baseless accusations.

Not a single sex scene is featured in this book. Not one. The so-called foul language that has gotten some groups in an uproar is incredibly tame by today’s standards. The words “damn” and “bitch” are occasionally used, mainly by the monetarily rich yet morally bankrupt Tom Buchanan, but cursing is infrequent and only serves to further Tom’s character.

I’ve heard worse things on the bus to middle school and on network television.

While parties and alcohol consumption are frequent occurrences in the novel, they are not a reason to challenge it.

Firstly, the activities described are accurate historical representations of the time. “The Great Gatsby” takes place during the prohibition era, a time when alcohol was banned by federal law. These laws did not stop the wealthy from drinking and partying, though, and people then would have acted like people in the novel.

Additionally, these parties and the drinking serve as important plot points in the book. It’s not like “Gatsby” is the only thing that exposes people to these vices; alcohol commercials are frequent during sporting events, and parties are simply just social gatherings, events that people have been attending since the dawn of civilization.

The novel doesn’t glorify these behaviors; in fact, it uses them as a tool to warn against excess. In the end, the parties did Jay Gatsby no good.

Amoral characters is another complaint groups have against the book. It is this point that makes me question if the people who hate this story have ever actually read it.

It is true that every character featured is in some way a broken and bad person. Even the seemingly innocent Nick Carraway is a horrible sufferer of bystander syndrome, just watching and not intervening as the distressing events of the story unfold.

However, to challenge the book on these grounds requires missing the point of the story entirely. These characters are not to be revered or emulated; readers are meant to hate some and pity the rest.

“The Great Gatsby” is a modern American tragedy, and it is through these immoral characters that F. Scott Fitzgerald makes his points – this is what happens to the obsessed, the liars, the selfish, the hateful. These characters serve as examples of what not to do.

Although all the points made by those who are against this book are easily refuted, a larger issue is still at hand.

Why is it that people ban and challenge books anyway? Freedom of choice is exemplified in the literary world. Thousands of years of writing have produced literally millions of choices when it comes to what someone can read.

That type of behavior is a type of selfishness and self-centeredness that “The Great Gatsby” actually warns about. Maybe if the people who challenged this book actually read it, they would realize the error of their ways.

Maria Solano CorresPondent @dailyathenaeum

If you are looking for a book with happy endings or false interpretations of humanity, then I suggest you look elsewhere.

“The Lord of the Flies” is a book full of tragedy, leaving readers with nothing but unanswered questions. Can civilized English school boys turn into savages after just a short time of exile?

This book has been challenged many times due to its mature content.

According to the American Library Association’s website, “The Lord of the Flies” has been challenged due to “excessive violence, bad language, racism, lurid passages about sex and statements defamatory to minorities, God, women and the disabled.”

However, it is not a new concept that the most controversial books are also the ones that contain the deepest, most enlightening messages.

This novel appears to be an innocent tale about stranded English private school boys; however, it proves to be far from innocent once you dig deeper into the story.

The story starts out when a plane crashes on an island in the Pacific Ocean, and the only survivors are English school boys. As they are left with no adult supervision, no rules and no sense of right and wrong, the boys are forced to pick a leader and learn how to survive on their own.

Twelve-year-old Ralph is voted into power and keeps order with help from his friend, Piggy. Ralph assigns the head of the choir group, Jack, to be head hunter of the group. However, being head hunter is not enough for Jack, and he becomes power hungry.

Eventually, Jack shows his inborn violence and makes it his mission to destroy Ralph, which causes the island to catch fire and, ironically, leads to their rescue. What started out

as a fun adventure with friends soon became a battle for survival.

The author, William Golding, successfully creates a plot that makes us question ourselves and everyone around us. Are humans truly good or are we savages by nature? Is it possible that if we were forced into this situation we would turn into savages just like these boys? Who is the beast; is it just one person or is it perhaps the evil inside everyone?

These intriguing questions left lingering in our minds long after we are done reading the book and is what makes this novel a success.

Golding accomplished his goal of making readers think and reevaluate their perceptions of humanity.

It is an easy read, whether you are interested in the basic story or are ready to start looking into the details.

EDITORIAL

‘Blurred Lines’ intentions are clear It seems as though the hit summer song, Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” is still garnering radio time well into the fall.

“Blurred Lines,” which originally aired on July 12, was an immediate hit and perpetuated with Thicke’s memorable performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards with a particularly controversial Miley Cyrus.

It’s not the twerking and general sexual innuendos from the VMA’s appearance that has “Blurred Lines” in

such hot water; it’s the lyrics themselves.

With statements like “I know you want it” and “Do it like it hurt”, it’s understandable many are concerned for the message “Blurred Lines” is trying to convey.

While the title alone is enough for some to point out the song’s seeming promotion of rape culture, these racy lyrics do little to delineate from this idea.

Project Unbreakable, an online photo gallery comprised of rape victims hold-

ing signs with statements their rapists have made before, during or after the act, has even been used to showcase the darkness behind these lines. A recent post by psmag.com combined the especially explicit lyrics with some of the Project Unbreakable submissions that were eerily similar to Thicke’s words, and the effect is downright devastating.

Although there appears to be a definite correspondence between the sentiments of “Blurred Lines” and

the misfortunes of these rape survivors, it’s hard to jump on the bandwagon that a song devoted to something so trigger-friendly and illegal could possibly have slipped through the ranks, or that a burgeoning artist such as Thicke would knowingly craft these lines in what many believe to be an attempt to promote rape culture.

The idea that sex sells isn’t a new one, and “Blurred Lines” is a textbook example. Although the lines may

be explicit, they do not automatically denote a lack of consent, merely ambiguous at best. Thicke does not make any notions of forcing himself on this hypothetical “good girl” nor does the song appear to want to be taken in anything but good fun.

It is a song devoted to the mixed signals, or “Blurred Lines,” we all give and receive when meeting new people, not a debate about consensual sex. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

OP-ED COMMENTARY

Protecting the right to read: celebrate Banned Books Week

bannedbooksweek.org

The Banned Books Week campaign was founded in 1982 by prominent First Amendment and library activist Judith Krug.

Celeste lantz editor-in-chief @celestofacto

Sunday marked the first day of 2013’s Banned Books Week, an entire week devoted to the nation’s freedom to read whichever books they please.

The first Banned Books Week was in 1982 as a response to a surge in the number of challenged books in libraries, schools and bookstores – a total of 11,300 books since then.

Each year, many libraries and bookstores band together to draw attention to the censorship of a rising number of books, which can be concerns of offensive language, racism, sexual explicitness, drug and alcohol use, homosexuality and violence.

Unfortunately, many of these challenged books are ones that have helped shape our country. Such classics as “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” “Catch-22” and “Where the Wild Things Are” have all been banned or challenged at some point for insensitive language, uncomfortable situations or the dark and disturbing nature of the stories.

Many staples in the classroom were once banned from being taught in the school system.

It doesn’t affect just the traditional teaching canon, though.

Some of the most recent challenged and banned titles include “Speak” by Laurie Halse Anderson: “soft pornography,” “glorifies drinking, cursing and premarital sex,” and

“teaches principles contrary to the Bible” “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky: deals graphically with teenage sex, homosexuality and bestiality.

“Water for Elephants”

by Sara Gruen: sexual content, not appropriate for young age group.

My personal favorites include “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins for anti-ethnic, antifamily, occult/satanic suggestions and violence, and the “Captain Underpants” series by Dav Pilkey for offensive language and encouraging rebellion against authority figures.

As you can see, some of these claims – often by overprotective parents and pressured school districts – are outright ridiculous. The most frustrating

part is that the true meaning of these novels are being overlooked in favor of honing in on what some may consider inappropriate content. The intent is of note, but these tactics contain hazards greater than the “evil” they attempt to combat.

This type of restriction opposes the First Amendment; any individual may prohibit what they or their children read, but it is unconstitutional for them to call on the government or other public agencies to create wide-scale bans.

It is so important, now more than ever, to speak out against these challenges and bans. The current generation is encouraged to speak their mind in every other way, to aspire to great things and to garner their own views. But

how can we expect this to happen if we place restrictions on what publications they have access to?

Our generation is lauded for tolerance, and we must continue this trend to save ourselves, our children and our grandchildren.

Luckily, there are several ways one can get involved.

Staying informed by being aware of what is happening, attending library and school board meetings and joining groups committed to preserving the right to read will all have a positive impact.

Challenge censorship by reporting it to the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom, write letters to public officials or even form a coalition to oppose censorship in the community.

Finally, you can participate in Banned Books

Week by attending the events promoted by the ALA and other associations such as on-air hangouts with various authors and Twitter parties during which you can use the hashtag #bannedbooksweek to join the conversation.

If you get a chance, the simplest way to protest is to read a banned or challenged book. I know I certainly don’t want to live in a world where my niece won’t be able to enjoy “Captain Underpants” as much as I did at her age.

Crime analysis and prevention: “Molly” takes the streets peggy runyon University Police Department

There is a new girl in town–and she can kill.

“Molly,” a purified form of ecstasy, has been linked to a string of deaths this month along the East Coast and has been deemed the new ‘it’ drug among young people.

Due to this alarming trend, West Virginia University Police would like to inform you about the dangers and potentially fatal consequences of “Molly.”

Within a span of just 15 days, “Molly” claimed the lives of four college students.

A 19-year-old woman collapsed in a Washington, D.C. night club; a 23-yearold man and a 20-year-old woman who both died at the New York City Music Festival; and a 19-year-old woman died at the House of Blues nightclub in Boston. Several others have been hospitalized from

the drug.

We believe “Molly” is making the rounds in the local party scene and is emerging with robust use in clubs around Morgantown and the surrounding areas.

“Molly” can be dressed in the color white (when it’s pure) but is more often beige or yellow-brown, and sometimes brown or rarely gray because it is mixed with impure items like rat poison.

Typically, users do not realize “Molly’s” effects on their bodies until intoxication is at dangerous levels. Symptoms range from rapid heartbeats, respiratory problems and increased blood pressure to confusion, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, teeth clenching, sweating, chills, muscle spasms and seizures. Other effects include a sense of increased energy, euphoria and empathy, which can last up to three to six hours after ingestion. Even with one use, you can see a disturbance

in memory, mostly verbal and declarative memories.

Death from “Molly” is often associated with cardiovascular, liver and kidney failure caused by severe dehydration. “Molly” can be consumed orally in powder, tablet or capsule form but is often mixed with other drugs, compounding the negative side effects.

Even though clinical trials have been attempted with “Molly,” it is listed as a Schedule I controlled substance, which means it has no accepted medical use.

It is a synthetic drug that boosts serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine chemicals in the brain.

A lot of drug sales appear to be peer-to-peer.

Street value ranges from $15 to $25 a pill and most pills spotted in the area are coming from Pittsburgh, report drug task force agents.

Not only is using the drug dangerous to your health, but against the law. Anyone who manufac-

“Molly” is considered a purified form of ecstasy and is commonly an off-white or white color. tures, delivers or possesses a controlled substance in West Virginia can be found guilty of a felony and imprisoned for up to 15 years and fined up to $25,000.

Students are urged to watch out for each other when they go to the clubs.

Always keep an eye on your drink. And if you no-

tice friends showing signs of drug ingestion, take them to the emergency room. WVU has professionals in Student Health (304-293-WELL, http:// well.wvu.edu/) and the Carruth Center (304-2939355, http://well.wvu.edu/ ccpps) qualified to assist students with drug prob-

lems. The Poison Control Center at (800) 222-1222 is also available 24 hours a day.

Be mindful of the consequences to your body, your future and your life.

Molly is not someone you want for a friend. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you see the big picture more easily. Some of you will opt to travel more and visit different cultures, others will go back to school, and many will become more interested in spiritual studies. If you are single, you naturally could start meeting a very different type of person. Come summer 2014, your dating life could revolve around someone quite special. If you are attached, as a couple, the two of you benefit from making a public commitment to each other. Get out more, and you will be happier.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You might awaken thinking about a dream. By the time you are done with breakfast, you will find a way to integrate an idea from this

reverie into your life. Others will express their interest when you share your thoughts with them. Tonight: Friends delight in your originality.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You might feel like heading in a different direction in order to achieve better results. You might believe that you are able to tackle a financial risk, as you live and act on your innate optimism. Tonight: Make sure that your checkbook is balanced before you walk out the door.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You’ll feel as if you have many opportunities, but you want to choose the right one. Know that there is an element of confusion around you. To see what you want with clarity might not be possible right now. Let friends play devil’s advocate. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH You might sense that there is much more going on than meets the eye.

You’ll want to proceed in a different direction from others, yet choose not to express your concerns. Realize that you are not the only one feeling this way. Go with the moment. Tonight: Where the gang is.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You project a strong, magnetic personality. In fact, a secret admirer might reveal him- or herself as a result. Take notice of who comes forward, as well as this person’s expressions. You could be just as taken with this individual as he or she is with you. Tonight: Go with the flow.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You assume responsibility naturally, and others count on that fact.

A loved one has a way of wrapping

you around his or her finger and making you think a lot about him or her.

Make plans to get together soon. Tonight: Discussions about a situation in vague terms might irritate you.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You can see what others don’t today.

Detach, and you will gain a new perspective. You’ll be able to see what is muddying the waters and find a solution. If your associates can’t see the situation as you do, how can they see the answer? Tonight: Go with the unexpected option.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Someone might seek you out for what he or she believes is an important decision. You could view this issue far differently from how this person does. You might opt to keep your thoughts to yourself. Your caring is deep and intense. Tonight: Opt for

an old-fashioned date.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH Be ready to adjust to others’ requests. They might not be handling matters as you would like, but they come close with some creative touches. Let these people try out their concepts. They always are challenging you, so give them a chance.

Tonight: Accept an invitation out.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You might be eager to jump into the fray and lead the way out. You clearly see how to get the outcome you desire. You will need to work hard and listen to what is being shared. You can work with an idea and make it practical so that others will see its value. Tonight: Take it easy.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You might think that oth-

ers understand more than they do.

Most people base their concepts on a conventional model. You could have a lot of ideas that you’ll need to translate in a way that others will grasp them. Tonight: A love interest is batting his or her eyelashes at you.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You will feel centered and ready to run with the ball. When you see a situation from someone else’s perspective, your first reaction might be confusion. Try to clear up what is confusing you in order to come to a more positive decision. Tonight: Stay close to home.

The Buddy Holly Story wows fans at CAC

Mel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

‘The Buddy Holly Story’ cheer for the cello player.

by shawnee moran Associate A&E EDitor @ShawneeMoran22

The West Virginia University Creative Arts Center was transformed into a blast from the past Monday as the award-winning jukebox musical “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” rocked the stage.

As the talented cast members made their final preparations for the show backstage, audience members waited patiently in the lobby talking about the show and remembering the life and tragic death of Buddy Holly.

Charles Hardin Holly, pro-

fessionally known as Buddy Holly, inspired some of the biggest names in the industry with his high energy, new rock ‘n’ roll music. Holly’s successful career, which started onstage at the Grand Bowl in Lubbock, Texas, was the starting point of the show.

John Kiselica, master electrician for the show, said the set for the production was minimal compared to other shows in the University Arts Series. Only having one 53foot semi to haul around all the equipment and instruments, the basic set included signs for the radio station to

provide further background information for audience members.

This minimalist set didn’t hinder; in fact, it made audience members use their imagination and send them to Holly’s era.

The first act of the show focused on Holly’s struggles and eventual rise to famethrough the different radio stations and the places they described, from his beginning in Lubbock, to when he was involved with KDAV Radio and NorVaJak studios, to when he played in Harlem, N.Y. The first act also relied

heavily on audience participation; these concert-like performances in the show required audience members to sing along and applaud at times. In “Shout,” a popular number performed by ensemble members, an attendee was pulled up to dance. Actors surrounded all parts of the stage, even interjecting themselves into the audience, providing attendees with a unique, close-up experience.

The second act of the show introduced the love story between Holly and Maria Santiago; it also showed the rise to fame wasn’t an easy one with

Instead of ending on the deaths of Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, in the fateful plane crash, the show ended on a happier note with everyone on stage, rocking out to “Oh Boy.” Audience members Jim and Janet Crandall, frequent theatergoers, said they thoroughly enjoyed the high energy concert-like show.

“This brings back memories that I’ve forgotten,” Jim said. “Some people don’t realize just how great his mu-

sic was. He wasn’t around long enough to really make an indentation on the music world. I just love it, I’m going crazy (about this show), you know? I used to dance my buttons off to this music.”

“The show was terrific – I just loved it all,” Janet said. “It brings back memories from high school. I just wish they had more (songs to perform).”

Holly’s life, his music and his influences on rock ‘n’ roll will be forever immortalized, thanks to “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story.” shawnee.moran@mail.wvu.edu

Emmys draw 17 million viewers ‘Star Trek’ composer talks career Jake Jarvis Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Sunday night marked the 65th annual Emmy Awards on CBS. This year was, without a doubt, a standout year for fashion, entertainment, surprising wins and a few unforgettable speeches.

Every year attendees dress to the nines, but like always, some stars outshine the others.

“Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara was decked out in jewels valued at more than $7 million. The ensemble included Lorraine Schwartz platinum earrings, featuring more than 100 carats of various jewels.

Heidi Klum arrived looking stellar in an Atelier Versace design. The dress was a maroon mermaid cut with a triangular chest piece attached to a high collar.

Allison Williams (HBO’s “Girls”) demonstrated the importance of perfect fit and high-quality fabric, wearing Ralph Lauren. The simple, vibrant blue dress fit perfectly, and it brought out her big, cerulean eyes.

Unfortunately, Williams’ co-star, Lena Dunham, did not impress.

Dunham looked matronly and twice her age

in a Prada gown. Her dress was a billowing turquoise number with redorange flowers dotting the body.

The dress might have been okay on someone else, but her fuller figure (which I love), was just not flattered by the cut.

Sorry, Lena; nice try.

Mario Lopez, a red carpet interviewer for the evening, concluded the festivities by tweeting a picture of himself hooked up to an IV drip.

Earlier in the day, Lopez tweeted, “Emmy Sunday! Feeling a bit run down & out of it … I’ll rally.” Looks like the combination of the suit, hot sun and the bright stars all around him took a toll on his health.

What would any awards show be without standout speeches from award winners? In past years, Tina Fey gave a gut-busting speech after being awarded Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy series for “30 Rock.”

This year, Jane Lynch gave a real tear-jerker in a speech commemorating the life of her “Glee” costar, Cory Montieth.

“Tonight we remember Cory for all he was and mourn the loss of all he could have been,” she said.

Her short but sweet speech made for the most

graceful version of Lynch I have ever seen.

In a not-so-graceful way, Merrit Wever, “Nurse Jackie” star and winner of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, delivered a terrible acceptance speech.

“Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. I’ve got to go,” she said to the audience. “Bye.” The crowd was left visibly stunned, wondering how an actress of her caliber could actually go speechless.

To no one’s surprise, “Breaking Bad” won for the Outstanding Drama Series. What will we do without Walter White?

“Modern Family” again took home the award for Outstanding Comedy Series.

And finally, let’s talk about Neil Patrick Harris. Harris, as with many other award shows, opened the show with a song-and-dance number, flipping across the arms of suit-clad men.

We love him ; he’s funny, he’s a gay rights activist, he’s a father, and the man can sing and dance.

But is it just me, or is seeing Harris on every award show, doing the same general routine getting annoying? It was great and unexpected, at first. Now, it’s the place where I fast-forward my DVR. And this concludes the highlights from another eventful year. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Jay Chattaway talks about his experiences at the CAC Monday with University Relations/News Senior Writer Diana Mazzella.

BY CAROL FOX

A&E WRITER @Dailyathenaeum

The infinity and splendor of outer space begs for epic, sweeping musical accompaniment. This is something composer Jay Chattaway understands well from his years of experience working as a composer for the TV show “Star Trek.”

The Emmy Award-winning composer and West Virginia University alumnus made his way to the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall in the Creative Arts Center Monday night for a lecture, “In the Composer’s Own Words,” to speak about his experiences during his long and prolific career.

Born about an hour away from Morgantown, in Monongahela, Pa., Chattaway earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from WVU. While an undergrad at WVU, Chattaway was a member of the Mountaineer Marching Band, Lambda Chi Alpha, Kappa Kappa Psi and Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia.

Attending WVU played an important part in giving Chattaway experience and confidence in his compositions.

“Here at West Virginia, I was so fortunate to have teachers who would request music… But as a college student, normally, at other schools, you just don’t get that experience,” he said.

“Another thing that was extremely important was the contacts I made while a student here.”

When Chattaway attended WVU as an undergrad, he and other music students – including Morgantown native and legendary bass guitarist, the late Randy De Biase – formed a local band called The Abductors.

The Abductors were wellknown around Morgantown, and they played mostly covers of hit songs, specializing in the works of James Brown and Wilson Pickett.

Chattaway is currently

best known for his work as composer for the “Star Trek” series: including: “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Star Trek: Voyager” and “Star Trek: Enterprise.”

Chattaway’s then-agent sent some of his music to “Star Trek,” unbeknown to him, and they liked it. His career with “Star Trek” lasted 18 years, 200 episodes and 10 Emmy nominations, including the win for the “Star Trek: Voyager” finale in 2001.

Quite surprised by his Emmy win, Chattaway claimed during his lecture to have literally dreamed and anxiously scribbled down the score for the Emmy Awardwinning episode in the middle of the night.

“When you work that intensely, especially when you come back from a recording session where you have headphones on for six hours … you have music imbedding in your brain,” Chattaway said. “Eventually you have to go to sleep, but your brain is still composing … So, I would dream the music.”

His most famous work is probably a simple flute melody for an episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” called “The Inner Light.” The beautifully soft flute piece shows Chattaway’s range and that he understands and can relate to the more intimate places in deep space, as well.

The melody has inspired several re-arrangements, including some for orchestra, other instruments and an electronic remix. Several poets have even seen fit to compose lyrical additions to Chattaway’s piece.

In addition to Chattaway’s work for television, he also composed film scores for cult films such as “Walking the Edge,” “Jakarta” and “The Rosebud Beach Hotel.”

In the ‘80s, he scored quite a few Chuck Norris films, including “Missing in Action,” “Braddock: Missing in Action III” and “Invasion U.S.A.” Chattaway said one of his favorite films to work on was a Stephen King werewolf

film called “Silver Bullet.” As a long-time King fan, Chattaway is quite fond of the film, which allowed him the opportunity to meet the famous author.

During his lecture, Chattaway answered questions from a moderator and the audience about his career and the composition process. He also showed a few videos, which gave audience members an idea of what the composing process is like from his desk at the recording studio in Los Angeles.

One of the most interesting sections of the video was watching Chattaway conduct a large orchestra of four trumpets, three trombones, a tuba, six French horns, 12-16 violins, four violas, six celli, four bass, three percussion and three woodwinds.

To anyone wishing to have a commercial career in music composition, Chattaway emphasized the importance of going to the big music centers, such as Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, Toronto or London.

“First of all, you have to know for sure if you have the confidence to do it. There are many great composers who could probably do what I do but might not have had the desire and passion to go out and say ‘I could do this,’” Chattaway said. “You have to have talent, but you have to know how to network your connections. It seems like the world is based on your lastknown success.”

Overall, Chattaway serves as an example of success for WVU music students, one which should be appreciated and emulated. His presence on campus is one from which students will learn quite a bit about music, the business aspect of composition and, perhaps, even life.

“Music is meant to be a language,” Chattaway said.

“It’s not a private thing you play for your own amusement or amazement. I don’t think it really becomes music until somebody hears it.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

“I’ve got to do a better job of getting these guys motivated and ready to play.”

He said redshirt freshman starting quarterback Ford Childress will see bumps in the road due to inexperience.

Childress’ 62 passing yards was the lowest amount by any WVU quarterback who threw more than 20 passes in a single game.

Holgorsen also talked about the performance of his wide receivers in Saturday’s shutout, during which only one Mountaineer wide receiver had a reception. Redshirt sophomore wide receiver Ronald Carswell was the only wide out to catch a ball from Childress. That 12yard pass from Childress to Carswell would be the longest passing play of the afternoon.

“We’d like to get them the ball; that’s why they call them receivers,” Holgorsen said. “What each and every one of these guys have got to

do is go to work every day, and they’ve got to try to be a little better than they were yesterday.”

Holgorsen said he believes the errors on offense have come from the passing game, although the running game can also improve. He said the team won’t change their offensive philosophy, but the coaches and players will need to figure out what the issue has been this season.

The Mountaineers are No. 74 in the nation in passing yards, No. 69 in rushing yards and No. 110 in scoring offense. WVU has only combined for 82 total points, and it has averaged 18 points per game. In two games this season, the Mountaineers have

scored fewer than 10 points.

Defensive play has vastly improved from the 2012 season. West Virginia is No. 33 in points against with a 19.3mark overall.

Now, the Mountaineers will turn their attention to the No. 11 Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday afternoon.

Oklahoma State will arrive in Morgantown undefeated and with a standard high-octane Big 12 offense.

OSU comes into Saturday’s game No. 19 in passing yards, No. 11 in points for with a 45.3 overall average and No. 17 in points against, only giving up an average of 13.7 points on the season. amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

drive, Smith responded by zipping a laser pass past an unsuspecting defender and right into the chest of Santonio Holmes, who easily scurried down field for what would be the game-winning score.

“Our job is to go out there and make plays,” Holmes said. “And Geno (Smith) gave me the opportunity to make a play. I think the DB was unaware that he was even throwing me the ball, and the ball landed in a perfect place for me to get a chance to catch it.”

It was Smith’s second game-winning drive in just three total starts in the rookie’s career.

But the humble Smith, who also had two more interceptions on the day to bring his season total to six picks, said he’s still focused on fixing the mistakes heading forward rather than focusing solely on what he’s done well to this point.

“My mind is focused on the turnovers,” Smith said. “It seems every week I’m up here saying how I need to do a better job in that area. I hate to use the rookie title as an excuse. I’ve got to find a way not to turn the ball over. And as far as that goes, I know I’ll improve, just gotta do it on game day.

“I think I’m a pretty aggressive player, but I’m also smart with the ball. So, if I don’t do that, if I don’t turn the ball over, it gives us a tremendous chance to win every game because of the defense we have.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

volleyball

Attea leads sophomore group for Mountaineers by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In just one year, West Virginia University volleyball head coach Jill Kramer has seen her team grow up in front of her eyes. Maturity and growth define the success of this year’s team; currently the volleyball team boasts an overall record of 13-1, while last year at this time they were a mere 8-6. With virtually the same team as last year, it has been the play of the five returning sophomores that has led the way to the best start in program history.

Sophomore outside hitter Nikki Attea is a main component of the core sophomore group. Attea, a pre-computer science student, hails from Buffalo, N.Y., where she attended Williamsville

North High. Attea was a standout athlete in her four years with the Lady Spartans. She was a fouryear letterwinner in volleyball, basketball and softball and one of the four finalists for the New York Gatorade Player of the Year. During her time at North High, Attea broke the single season record for kills and blocks for volleyball, which piqued Kramer’s interest.

During her freshman season with the Mountaineers, Attea was one of four freshmen to start and play in every set and every match for WVU. She was also named Big 12 Rookie of the Week on Sept. 13, 2012, after recording 49 kills and was third on the team with 28 digs and 10 total blocks over the span of three 5-set matches.

Attea has already achieved a great amount

of success during her short career with the Mountaineers and is already off to another great start this season.

During the Eagle Challenge at Morehead State, Attea accounted for a team-high 15 kills on 28 attempts against the hosting team. She would go on to account for 10 more kills against Campbell and another 10 against Hampton.

Attea’s most recent performance, though, in the Gold & Blue Players Challenge over the weekend has been her most impressive of the season.

When freshman standout outside hitter Jordan Anderson injured her finger in the first match against Liberty, it was Attea who would answer the call for her team.

In the match against Georgetown, Attea ac-

counted for 15 kills and 11 digs in the 5-set win.

In the game-clinching fifth set, Attea led her team with three kills on four attempts and hit an efficient .750. And with the tournament championship on the line, she would once again lead her team with 15 kills and 17 digs.

Attea would later go on to be named to the AllTournament team.

“We’re undefeated at home and hope to keep it that way for a very long time. I feel like this is a big change for us as a team,” Attea said.

Attea and her fellow sophomores will take this week to prepare for their first Big 12 Conference action, which is set for Friday against Kansas State in the WVU Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S SOCCER

Osman continues strong play following successful rookie year by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

While the West Virginia men’s soccer team continues to ride a roller coaster of a season, one thing has remained consistent – the play of sophomore forward Majed Osman.

The Mountaineers’ record currently stands at 3-3-1, and they are in the middle of a tough stretch in their schedule. WVU lost to Michigan this weekend and couldn’t score a goal in their 0-1 loss to No. 7 St. John’s earlier in the month.

Losers of two straight games, the Mountaineers will play Penn State tomorrow before facing off against No. 14 Akron this weekend. The Zips are considered the favorites to win the Mid-American Conference (MAC) this season.

Through these tough times, Osman has been one of the go-to guys for the Mountaineers. He currently has 11 points on the season, which is tied with fellow teammate Andy

Bevin for most in the MAC. “They’re both starting to come into their own, and they’re both very young players,” said head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “When we (get into a good flow), guys like Majed and Andy can do the finishing part.”

Like Bevin, Osman played soccer overseas before coming to America. A London native, Osman was a forward for Brentford FCCST while attending the International School of London. Under the direction of Peter Kanmwaa, Osman served as vice captain throughout their tournaments from 2009-12. Osman was the top scorer for two seasons and was named the top player of the 2012 tournament.

Osman averages 1.57 points per game, which is also tied for No. 1 in the MAC. “Majed is athletic, quick and can play as a forward or a midfielder in our system,” LeBlanc said. “He is an honest player that will defend as much as he attacks and certainly compliments our returning

players well.”

Osman was sensational in his rookie season. Despite playing just 12 of 17 games and making seven starts, he was No. 2 on the team with three goals, four assists and 10 points overall.

He’s built off the success from his rookie year and has made an even bigger impact in the MAC this season.

He netted the gamewinning goal against Wright State, forced overtime last week against Michigan, and already has four goals on the season, which is one more than his total from last year.

As a freshman, Osman played his familiar role as striker near the front line.

However, this year he’s played more at the midfield line but said he enjoys his new role.

“It’s definitely my favorite position on the field,” Osman said. “I feel I play (the midfield position) well. So far, it’s been good for me.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU midfield shaken up following injuries to key players by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Completing a team makeover isn’t an ideal task any women’s college soccer team would like to go through in late September, but WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and her West Virginia team is going through just that as conference play looms.

The Mountaineers have lost three players – Bryce Banuelos, Ali Connelly and Kara Blosser – to ACL injuries, while patiently waiting for senior Caroline Szwed in a return that now looks bleak. All four players play the midfield, three of whom were starters and another a key role player.

The injury bug has

latched onto the women’s soccer team in a situation that Izzo-Brown has never seen before.

“It’s definitely going to be adversity,” she said.

“We’re going to be united as we stand and understand that we’re going to be playing for a lot of injured players and not waste their year of hard work that got them to this point.”

The midfield line has now been completely shaken up with just one regular starter still standing. Freshman Banuelos tore her ACL in West Virginia’s home opener on Aug. 30, the same night Izzo-Brown celebrated her 250th career victory.

The next week, junior Ali Connelly injured herself in training before the Moun-

taineers’ match on Sept. 13.

In fact, it was Blosser who next went down on Sept.

13.

For Szwed, her longanticipated return from a knee injury in 2011 still has an unknown timetable for if/when she can step onto the pitch.

The injuries were all huge blows to the team.

Banuelos was just three matches into her NCAA career while Blosser was finishing up hers. The senior played 24 games in the past two seasons for WVU, scoring three goals. Before that, Blosser spent two seasons at N.C. State, appearing in 37 matches and scoring 12 goals.

Connelly was set to be a key role player on the team before her injury. The ju-

Sophomore defender Cari Price strikes a shot in a home match against Wright State Sunday.

nior played in 23 matches in her three seasons, including 18 in 2012. Szwed is the most veteran Mountaineer on the roster. She took a medical redshirt last season and set 2013 as her target for return. Szwed has started 67 matches for West Virginia, good for 24th in school history.

West Virginia has now been forced to lean on sophomores Amanda Hill and Cari Price and prized freshman Ashley Lawrence to fill the shoes of their downed teammates.

Hill is a two-year starter, while Price and Lawrence are currently seeing their first major minutes in their collegiate soccer careers.

Hill said she believes the three’s relationship with each other has made the

process easier.

“I think off-the-field chemistry is almost as important as on-the-field,” Hill said. “Off the field, we are all best friends; those two are great. We get along well, probably too well. I don’t think chemistry is an issue at all and we’ve practiced together enough.”

The three have excelled in their time together so far. Price is currently tied for No. 3 on the team with three goals, while Lawrence has six total points and Hill has three. All three scored goals or recorded points in WVU’s two-match homestand last weekend, with Lawrence and Hill each scoring goals.

West Virginia heads into Big 12 Conference play this weekend at 6-2-2 and be-

gins its quest to defend its conference championship for last season. The team has an entire weekend of travel ahead of them as they head to Oklahoma State on Friday night before entering the home of the Big 12 Tournament champions Baylor on Sunday. Izzo-Brown is pleased with the growth of her new midfield line but knows the team has a long way to go.

“I’m never comfortable with anything,” Izzo-Brown said. “As a coach you’re always wanting more time, but I’m confident with how hard we are working. We’re ready to get into conference play because we have to be, but I’m confident with the team out there.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Lisac adjusting as women’s tennis season nears by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

With the West Virginia University women’s tennis schedule release one week ago, a new head coach taking over just a month and a half ago and the team consisting of many freshmen, this tennis team has a lot to prepare for.

The team will travel to its first tournament this weekend at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado, and the players appear more motivated than ever.

Head coach Miha Lisac has experienced nothing but a busy schedule since his arrival from Georgia State. After six successful seasons as the Panthers coach, he has had little time to prepare for the season.

“It’s been busy; I’m trying to do everything at the same time,” he said. “I’m trying to take care of my personal stuff, I’m trying to find a place to live, and I’m trying to take care of the administrative stuff for the team.

“And obviously we’re

also kicking off practices and everything else.”

Coaching isn’t the only piece new to this team; four out of the eight players on the team are freshmen.

A lot of the leadership responsibility will not only be placed on the coaching staff but on the returning players.

Hailey Barrett, a sophomore from Lansing, Mich., is one of the four returning players, and she said she understands her importance to the team.

“Miha (Lisac) has brought a lot of energy to

the program, and we are really excited to compete this weekend,” she said.

“Practices have been great, and the new girls have been adjusting really well.

“We really like what Miha has been bringing, so I’m excited.”

Lisac said between all of these other distractions, there still have been practices as normal, and he has been pleased by the performance of the entire team.

“I think we’ve done some good work,” Lisac said. “In the past weeks,

we’ve done quite a lot of conditioning. We’ve been starting to do more work on the courts, and we’re making good progress.

“We’re kind of in the beginning of that preparation, but we’ve done some good work so far.”

The coaches and veteran players have paved the way for the freshmen on the team like Kaja Mrgole, who’s from Lisac’s home country of Slovenia.

“It’s good,” Mrgole said. “(Lisac) is helping me, and the girls are very supportive.”

With the first tournament set in a couple of days, Lisac said he hopes to build on what he has started.

“We’re starting to focus on things from here on, and we’re starting to build things from the beginning,” Lisac said. “The team is starting to do a lot of the right things to develop into a strong team through building a strong foundation.

“That’s really what we’re focusing on.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 6 LSU not satisfied with lapse as Georgia test awaits

LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger passes in the second half of Saturday’s game against Auburn in Baton Rouge, La. BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – By the time Zach Mettenberger and the LSU Tigers had sealed up their latest victory over Auburn in their Southeastern Conference opener, they were

too disappointed over their second-half slippage to celebrate their early dominance.

“Guys just didn’t keep their heads in the game,” Mettenberger said follow-

ing Saturday night’s 35-21 victory. “We just let off the gas pedal. Hopefully this is a lesson that everybody learned.”

For the most part, sixthranked LSU (4-0, 1-0 SEC)

Every Monday in October the front page of the DA will be going PINK! Join us as we discuss personal stories, incorporate medical interviews and reach out to readers via our Twitter and Facebook accounts. This inspirational month is very meaningful to us as we work to keep everyone connected and informed.

Here’s how you can take part as we Think Pink!

is where it wants to be heading into its toughest test yet at No. 9 Georgia (2-1, 1-0) Saturday. The Tigers have won all four of their games by double digits while establishing balance on offense and strong play on a defense that entered the season with a host of new starters.

LSU is averaging 43.2 points per game, while giving up only 19.5.

In wet, sloppy conditions in Death Valley, LSU raced to a 21-0 halftime lead thanks in large part to a ground game – led by 6-foot-2, 235-pound running back Jeremy Hill – which accounted for 154 yards in the first half alone. Hill, who sat out the season opener because of an offseason arrest, has wasted little time re-establishing himself as arguably to most explosive and powerful force on the LSU offense – and showing why it benefited coach Les Miles to keep the length Hill’s benching brief. Hill had 152 of those first-half yards - including runs of 49 and 54 yards – and finished with a career-high 184 yards to go with three TDs. Oddly, when the rain let up in the second half, LSU got sloppy.

“We try to be a weatherproof offense,” Mettenberger said. “When it

was raining, we actually played our best football.

I think guys need to keep their heads in it for all four quarters.”

Likewise, Hill was less interested in talking about his big day than discussing the “sour taste” he was left with when the running game’s production tapered off in the fourth quarter, preventing LSU from putting Auburn away as early as it hoped.

“I don’t really remember the positive things. I remember the negative things that happened to my team,’’ Hill said. “We didn’t finish strong.”

Hill and his teammates seemed to be following the lead of coach Les Miles, who asserted, “I just didn’t like how we finished. We certainly can play better. ... We need to control these games.”

Although LSU answered Auburn’s first two TDs of the second half with scoring drives of its own, it needed a late fourth-down stop near its own end zone to preserve a two-score lead and finally run out the clock.

LSU rushed for 74 yards on 21 carries in the second half, a relatively pedestrian average of 3.5 yards per carry. Even Hill was tackled for several short losses in the fourth quarter as LSU had to

keep punting back the an Auburn team that refused to fold.

And while Mettenberger threw for his 10th TD of the young season– after throwing for 12 in all of 2012 – he had his worst game of 2013. He threw his first interception of the season early in the second half, setting up Auburn’s first scoring drive. He also passed for a season-low 229 yards.

Now Mettenberger prepares to head home to his native Georgia, and to play against the school he first signed with out of high school – also the school where his mother has long worked in the football office.

The quarterback hopes that story line doesn’t become a distraction, and has already told LSU sports information personnel that he would prefer not to do any phone interviews with out-of-town media this week, and only meet with reporters in person during his regular weekly appearance on Monday at LSU’s football headquarters.
