WVU defeats No. 11 Oklahoma State 30-21 in Big 12 home-opener See SPORTS for complete coverage.

Students react to victory, flip car on campus

BY Daniel Schatz & SUMMER RATCLIFF DA Staff @DAILYATHENAEUM

After the Mountaineer’s loss against the University Maryland, the team bounced back to beat Oklahoma State University in an unexpected upset Saturday.

Prior to Saturday’s game, OSU was No. 11 in the nation.

The Mountaineers were not the favorite going into the game and were predicted to lose by at least 17 points.

Many fans said they were shocked by the outcome of the game.

“I had no idea we would play as well as we did. I was actually worried that it was going to be a blowout like most were expecting,” said Chelsey McLaughlin, a senior sports management student. “We beat them because we played like a team. All our players made big plays when they needed to.”

McLaughlin said based on Saturday’s win, she believes the WVU football team will do better than originally predicted.

“I think our team will do better than expected throughout the rest of the season, as long as we continue to prepare and play like a team,” she said.

After the win, students reacted with excitement and celebrated with friends and family.

“I honestly thought it was going to be a blowout; I thought we were going to lose badly,” said Samantha Doreste, a senior communication studies student. “I am happy that we beat a team so highly ranked. I thought it was a great game for WVU and a great day to be a Mountaineer.”

Freshman criminology student Brittany Dolan said she believes the win showed the Big 12 Conference that the Mountaineers are admirable contenders.

“This win means every sport besides football will gain more respect and will be taken more seriously,

MFD responds to 10 ‘nuisance fires’ after win

BY Summer Ratcliff City Editor @SummerRatcliff

After the West Virginia University football team upset the Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday afternoon, WVU students took to the streets Saturday night into Sunday morning.

The Morgantown Fire Department responded to 10 intentional nuisance fires, including seven street fires and

three dumpster fires.

The first nuisance fire was reported at 9:42 p.m. Saturday on Naomi Street and the last fire was reported at 5:45 a.m. Sunday at 309 Stewart Street.

One WVU student, James J. Kunz-Mulholland, 22, of Mt. Laurel, N.J., was cited for malicious burning of a dumpster at the intersection of Beverly Avenue and Fourth Street.

Captain Ken Tennant of

the Morgantown Fire Department said malicious burning is a serious and chargeable crime.

“Malicious burning is setting fires to materials in a public right-of-way, in a street or an alley, materials that are illegal to burn, such as furniture and garbage,” Tennant said. “The fine if someone is found guilty is a minimum of $1,000 and a maximum of $2,000.”

Tennant said although the

fire department stayed busy Saturday night, the number of reported fire incidents has reduced drastically compared to previous years.

“The number of fires is down this year compared to what they have been in years past; there has been a decrease over the last few semesters,” Tennant said.

“We hope that this is a trend, that there’s less fires, but we can’t really tell just from a few semesters.”

In past years, Tennant said there have been instances such as football wins against Virginia Tech in 2003, where there were more than 150 fires set in one night.

With the housing changes currently in progress in the Sunnyside area, Tennant said the fire department is hopeful the fires and other illegal activity in the surrounding areas will decrease.

WVU community honors fallen students “ ”

By Alexis Randolph Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum

Family and friends joined West Virginia University students and faculty Friday to honor and remember two fallen Mountaineers with a bell ringing ceremony.

WVU’s Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity and the Office of Student Life came together at Oglebay Plaza to honor the lives of Joseph Dzuris and Christopher Hall who recently passed away.

Joseph Dzuris, 22, an exercise physiology student, was killed in a hit and run Sept. 15 on Patterson Drive.

Dzuris had worked for three years as a RA in Braxton Tower; he also worked for WVU Night Operations and was a mentor to many students.

Dzuris was from Harpers Ferry, W.Va., and was a member of the 2009 graduating class of Jefferson High School.

He is survived by his

parents, two brothers and many other family members and friends.

Kim Mosby, senior associate dean from the Office of Student Life, gave the acknowledgements, said Dzuris’ friends and said he was known as a hardworking and helpful individual and will be remembered for his infectious laugh, among his peers.

“A friend of Joseph wrote that the sky gained a new star and that heaven gained a new angel when we lost Joseph,” Mosby said.

Dzuris’ brother, Joel said he would miss seeing his older brother around campus and at the Rec Center.

“He was always watch-

ing over me to make sure I didn’t get into any trouble,” he said. “Just being my big brother and watching over me.”

The hit-and-run that took his life is still under investigation by the Morgantown Police Department.

The other student honored at Friday’s bell ringing ceremony, Christopher Hall, was a sophomore in the Regents Online Bachelor of Arts Program.

He passed away Sept.

22, in his home in Everett, W.Va., Hall was originally from Duck, W.Va. He attended Appalachian Bible College before he moved to Everett where he worked for the Boeing Company.

During her remarks, Mosby described Hall as a lover of God, bluegrass and country music, and Civil War history.

“Christopher loved his home state of West Virginia and dreamed of retiring to the quiet hills of West Virginia,” Mosby said.

Hall is survived by his wife, Rose, three children and two stepchildren, his parents and many other family members and friends.

Both families were presented a certificate stating the impact their loved ones had on the University and confirming they were in good academic standing.

Dzuris’ mother, father and younger brother accepted his certificate. Because of distance, no one was present to accept Hall’s.

Bell-ringing ceremonies have been a tradition after the loss of Mountaineers for more than 20 years. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

ARC offers ‘Mid-Term Astronaut presents flag from shuttle to WVU Crunch’ for students

BY MEGHAN BONOMO Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

by evelyn merithew staff writer @dailyathenaeum

With mid-term examinations right around the corner, the West Virginia University Academic Resource Center is offering a unique Mid-Term Crunch session to students.

Students are invited to attend the study session today from 6-10 p.m. in the Rhododendron Room in the Mountainlair.

“The Mid-Term Crunch is loaded with opportunities for you to ask any remaining questions, discuss course content and develop a study plan,” said Courtney Teets, coordinator of the Academic Resource Center.

The study session will offer tutoring in a variety of subjects, including statistics, chemistry, physics, biology, geology, accounting and economics. There will also be success coaches on hand to help students deal with test anxiety and develop a study plan.

“The event is designed to help (students) build confidence and motivation through free tutoring in several subjects, access to success coaches on test-taking strategies and methods for beating test anxiety,” Teets said.

Scantrons, No. 2 pencils and refreshments will be available for those who attend, as well as a service dog for stress relief.

Teets said this is the first year the University has implemented a review session specifically for mid-terms.

“A lot of other universities and institutions do some-

thing very similar to this, and last fall, we started the ‘Final Exam Cram,’ and it was really successful,” Teets said.

The finals cram received a lot of positive feedback from both the students and the tutors.

“We don’t want students to be stressed out, which is why we are going to help them manage their stress and anxiety. We want them to get high grades and continue to progress,” Teets said.

In addition to the midterm review, free tutoring is always available throughout the school year to help students stay on top of their school work.

From 6-10 p.m., SundayThursday, students can find homework help in Brooke Tower and the Downtown Library. WVUpAll Night also offers tutoring Friday and Saturday evenings from 6-10 p.m., except for the Saturday’s of home football games.

Tyler Overholt,a junior biology student, tutors students in mathematics and biology, and encourages anyone who needs some extra help to come to the event.

“Coming and taking advantage of free tutoring helps students feel like they are not alone when it comes to studying for mid-terms and final tests,” Overholt said. “It allows students to get last minute help, become more prepared and organized and get all of their material straight.”

NASA Colonel Mike Fincke spoke to West Virginia University students, staff and visitors about his journeys to and from the International Space Station Friday.

The WVU Alumni Association welcomed Fincke to the Mountainlair Ballroom to give his motivational presentation.

Saturday he presented a WVU flag, which was flown aboard the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavor, to the Alumni Association during the WVU football game.

Endeavor completed its last mission in June 2011 and landed for its 25th and final time with Fincke as one of six astronauts on board.

The WVU flag presented

by Fincke will be on permanent display at the Erickson Alumni Center.

“It’s going to hopefully represent the spirit of this fine school, the spirit of the students, the alumni, the faculty, the friends of the whole area here at WVU and the home of the gold and blue,” Fincke said. “(The) flag was flown with love, respect and honor for you all.”

He shared his life experiences, including how he found his calling with NASA and his efforts to encourage the expansion of space

exploration.

Fincke said he remembers watching men walk on the moon at the age of 3, which sparked his dream to be an astronaut.

“When I was a little kid, I only imagined that this would be my future,” he said. “I was very lucky along the way and also worked very hard.”

He said he built a Russian model rocket at the age of 10, and later in life, he was given the opportunity to fly on a similar fully functional spacecraft.

Fincke was selected by NASA in 1996 to be part of the program and has become an accomplished aeronautics professional in the years since.

Few people have as much experience as Fincke, after the 381 days, 15 hours and 11 minutes he has spent in orbit throughout three voyages and the 48 hours and 37 minutes of EVA time he logged during nine spacewalks.

He currently holds NASA’s all-time record for the most time spent in space by an American.

Flying at speeds of 17,500 mph above the earth has allowed Fincke to see the entire planet from space. “(Earth) is certainly the most beautiful planet I’ve ever seen,” Fincke said. “One of the most breathtaking things I’ve ever seen was fly-

This is one of the most beautiful parts of the most beautiful planets in the whole solar system in the whole universe.”

He said the more energy one spends working toward their goals, the more opportunity they will have to advance in not only their career but in their personal life.

“There are so many things in front of us as humans here on planet Earth,” he said. “I’m really excited to share what I’ve seen and what I can see coming.”

The International Space Station is the biggest structure humans have ever

built in space, and Fincke, along with his team, collaborated with international partners to complete the station.

In addition to the opportunities Fincke had in space, he had many notable experiences on Earth, as well.

“I’ve (gotten) to meet the presidents, (gotten) to be on TV shows, (including) Star Trek Enterprise,” Fincke said.

“I even had two lines, and I didn’t mess them up either as far as you know.”

Fincke concluded his talk by saying he sincerely hopes to see American interest in space exploration grow for years to come. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

B&E speaker talks value of education by laura haight correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Friday’s installment of the of Business & Economics Distinguished Speaker series featured John Mork, president and chief executive officer of Energy Corporation of America.

Mork spoke about his career and experience in the oil industry to West Virginia University students and faculty.

During his speech, he reminded and encouraged students to keep education a priority.

“An attitude for learning and education is more precious than gold,” Mork said.

Mork told students to be above average by taking academics seriously.

“Business is so tough that you have to be better every year, and the only tool you have to be better is educa-

VICTORY

Continued from page 1 especially since we beat a top-25 team,” she said.

“The student body was really united (Saturday), and we have a lot of hope for the upcoming season.”

Late Saturday night, after the tailgate ended and visitors began to leave town, students reacted to the win by parading down Grant Avenue, celebrating both in legal and illegal ways.

Any cheerful parading turned into rioting as students proceeded to burn

tion,” Mork said.

Olivia Sartoris, a sophomore economics student, said she enjoyed the positivity of Mork’s lecture.

“It was really encouraging.

Most of the time I get threatening encouragements, so for somebody to say, ‘It’s okay,’ and be positive encouraging, it was good,” Sartoris said.

Mork also talked about his rough beginnings in the oil business and the experience he gained, all of which Sartoris said she found to be hopeful.

“When (Mork) talked about how he needed the experience rather than the money in his first job, that was pivotal,” Sartoris said.

“I’m always trying to get paid out of college, but I’m looking for experience more than anything.”

Julien Vialette, a junior international business student, said he found the lecture

inspirational.

“I enjoyed hearing his story and how he got through his problems and got where he is now,” he said.

After hearing Mork’s story, he said he is more excited than ever to get a real job and gain experience.

“I learned you have to look for your opportunities and be prepared for the work life, don’t wait for it. (Mork) said to work hard, and you’ll get lucky,” Vialette said. “Seeing someone succeed as well as he did is really cool.”

In addition to striving for academic excellence, Mork also encouraged students to be the best person they can be and treat others with respect in the workplace.

“Hire good people; they don’t all have to be Steve Jobs, but just good people,” Mork said. “Plan with them, give them great responsibility and give them great author-

ity. Then spend 75 percent of your time encouraging them, and it will make you filthy rich.”

Mork said he took pride answering students’ questions, and he said he enjoyed their enthusiasm.

“I love to be taught by (students),” he said. “(They) don’t know what I know about the oil business, but (they) see the world through different eyes, and I love to see it through (their) eyes.”

At the end of his lecture, Mork reached out to students by giving out his email address and asked them to let him know how they’re doing and share their experiences.

“All the people in the audience are talented and can do whatever they want,” Mork said. “Set your goals high. Don’t go for less than excellent.”

couches in the streets and flipped a parked car on its side.

John Bolt, spokesman for the University, said the incidents are all currently under investigation by the University Police Department.

“The University takes this behavior very seriously. The police department is investigating the incident of a car being flipped based on video evidence,” he said. “If any of the involved parties are found to be students they will face the full punishments, ranging from community service requirements to possible expulsion.”

Bolt said at least one person seen in a video participating was not a student. However, he said whether the involved parties are found to be students or not, each will be facing possible criminal charges.

In the past decade, the University has been unable to evade the notorious “top party school” reputation.

Yet even as recently as last week, Playboy Magazine placed the school as No. 1 on its 2013 list.

Taylor Eton, a senior broadcast journalism student, said she believes students behaving in illegal

ways after game wins does not reflect the University as a whole.

“Personally, I thought the students were trying to get away from this reputation,” she said. “I came (here) for my academics, and it’s disappointing other students aren’t taking that seriously.

They should have to face the consequences for their actions.”

Any person with information regarding the illegal activities are encouraged to contact the University Police Department at 304- 293-2677.

London’s iTunes Festival features performances, big names in industry Jake Jarvis correspondent

September has been a great month for music: Ariana Grande, Sir Elton John, Cher, Icona Pop and Janelle Monae have all released albums this month.

Perhaps the most exciting part was the iTunes Festival at Camden’s Roundhouse London. Every night, iTunes hosted a free concert in London featuring some of the biggest names in the music industry.

For those interested, there are three options to view the concert: iTunes, the iTunes Festival app or Apple TV. However, the iTunes Festival app has less glitches, fewer time delays and a better video quality.

Lady Gaga opened the performances. She dedicated her 70-minute set to sharing new, unheard music from her upcoming album “ARTPOP.” Debuting

six unreleased songs, she set the bar high for the rest of the festival.

The audience went into a frenzy as Ellie Goulding performed Sept. 22. Known for “Lights” and “Anything Can Happen,” the singer continued to prove why she is one of the brightest stars on the charts.

Sir Elton John performed Sept. 12. The musical legend was joined by the Royal Academy of Music for a special rendition of “Home Again.”

“This is a magical time to be alive,” John said to the audiences. “I have such a wonderful life, I have such a wonderful partner. The best part is to play live, and to play live for you guys.”

Today audience will see a great closing performance from Katy Perry, Icona Pop and Iggy Azalea.

Sept. 20 Perry gave the second live performance, “Roar,” the current single from her upcoming album “Prism,” set to be released Oct. 18.

The singer’s promotional

single “Dark Horse,” has received mixed reviews. Some laud her for going in a darker, more urban direction. The chorus is a pop hit; but together they seem parts of a song that have been copied and pasted together.

So, what can we expect from Perry today?

For starters, expect to hear a new promotional single “Walking on Air.” At the end of August, Perry allowed fans to vote snippets of songs to decide which would be her single.

“Dark Horse” won over “Walking on Air,” but neither of the songs has been released as an official single.

The “Walking on Air” snippet sounded much more radio friendly. The tune was a catchy, dancey, electronic pop number we’ve come to expect from Perry.

Whether or not we get some new material from Katy Perry, be sure to tune in at 4 p.m. for the conclusion of the 2013 iTunes Festival. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Local Band Spotlight:

Ghost House begins to gain popularity at 123 westley thompson correspondent

Ghost House, a fourpiece band comprised of singer Ethan Schnell, guitarist Geoff Minnear, bassist Mason Fanning and drummer George Zatezalo is a fresh, young band on the Morgantown music scene. Despite being newer and younger than many other local groups, this is a characteristic all the members identify as a strength.

Ghost House is not a typical directionless band.

Their sound is well thought out and put together.

Self-described as a mix of post-hardcore, post-rock and emo, Ghost House said they remind listeners of music from the late ’90s and early 2000s.

“We are definitely a band that plays music we would want to listen to ourselves,” Minnear said.

This attitude permeates through their music – you can tell the band enjoys playing what they play.

Another of the band’s strengths is how well they

get along with each other.

Fanning, Minnear and Schnell all met in high school. Fanning and Minnear first became friends during a school trip to Europe, and Minnear and Schnell became friends in class. Zatezalo joined later, after being referred to the group through a mutual friend.

“It’s just very easy playing with these guys,” Schnell said.

Minnear said the group’s compatibility makes the band as strong as it is.

“It comes naturally,” Minnear said.

Each member brings his own musical role models and inspirations to the band. Fanning said Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is his biggest influence.

“He is just an all-around well-rounded bass player, so that helped me become a well-rounded bass player,” Fanning said.

Zatezalo said he was influenced by Deftones, and this shows in the band’s musical style.

Minnear listed numerous bands, including The Dillinger Escape Plan and

Modest Mouse. Schnell said Elliot Smith is his musical role model for his songwriting abilities.

Schnell said one of Ghost House’s favorite things about being in the music scene is the community of people and bands with whom they share Morgantown’s stages.

“There’s a really awesome sense of community with local musicians,” Schnell said.

Bands share practice space and are always willing to help each other out by sharing tips and ideas.

Members from different local bands get along well, socialize and support each other both on and off the stage.

For lovers of post-hardcore and emo rock from the early 2000s, Ghost House is a must-see local band. Listeners will not be disappointed with this talented young musical group.

Aaron Paul appears on ‘Saturday Night Live’ premiere NEW YORK (AP) — “Saturday Night Live” had some fun with anticipation over Sunday’s “Breaking Bad” finale with help from Aaron Paul in a surprise cameo.

Paul, who plays Walter White’s drug compatriot Jesse Pinkman in the Emmy-winning AMC series, appeared in the opening segment of the new “SNL” season.

He portrayed one of several average Americans joining President Barack Obama to testify to the need for health care coverage.

Paul mentioned a “friend” who badly

needed health care when he got sick with cancer.

“The man was a teacher with a family,” interjected Obama, played by “SNL” cast member Jay Pharoah.

“He did what any of us would have done,” Paul said. “He started cooking meth. And soon it wasn’t just meth, it was murder.

And not regular murder, he blew half a guy’s face off.”

Not pleased with the example, Obama sought to usher him off the stage.

“Wait,” Paul said. “You don’t want to know what happened to my friend?”

“No,” said Obama, shaking his head. He was

joined by several people on stage for the mock presidential speech who gave Paul a stop sign.

The “Breaking Bad” series finale airs Sunday.

Fans are curious about what happens to White, the c a n c e r-s t r i c k e n teacher whose desire to provide for his family turns him into a drug lord.

Former “SNL” chief writer and cast member Tina Fey was host of the late-night show’s opener, drawing a connection to the past in what is shaping up as a transition year with the introduction of several new cast members.

Janisse Ray, award-winning author, to present reading at Colson Janisse Ray will be holding a reading tonight at West Virginia University in Colson Hall at 7:30.

Ray, a writer, naturalist and activist has penned five literary nonfiction books and one collection of nature poetry. She is currently on faculty at Chatham University’s low-residency MFA. Janisse Ray’s writing is influenced by raw human experience and the natural world.

From early on, Ray said she knew writing would play a large part in her life.

“Somewhere between middle and

high school,” Ray said. “Words formed stories, and stories were powerful, and I wanted to try to lasso some of that power.”

Her first novel, “Ecology of a Cracker Childhood,” was the winner of the American Book Award, Southern Book Critics Circle Award and Southern Environmental Law Center Award for Outstanding Writing on the Southern Environment.

“Nail your shoes to the floor beneath your wr iting desk ,” she said.

Reputation at stake after WVU win “WVU upsets No. 11 Oklahoma State, 30-21.”

This headline was one of the most read Saturday and Sunday and for good reason; Sept. 21 marked one of the most humiliating defeats in West Virginia University football history.

At halftime, it was clear students would be celebrating. Feeds filled up with tweets warning of fires and riots. Concerned parents texted children to stay off the streets for fear of danger. And their con-

cerns were completely justified. Several people reported fireworks and large parties in residential areas. James Kunz-Mulholland, a WVU student according to the school directory, was charged with malicious burning, and police responded to 10 other reports of nuisance fires.

There is even a video of five or six males flipping over a vehicle amid jeers from bystanders in a parking lot near the Life Sciences Building.

Not only is this type of behavior a despicable representation of WVU, it’s also downright illegal.

Once identified, the people responsible for flipping the car will face felonious charges if the act resulted in injury or death. This may seem silly because the car was parked with what appeared to be no one inside, if a person happened to slip and get caught under the car, they could be seriously hurt.

Morgantown is abso-

lutely a college town. But it is also a residential town with people who work nonUniversity jobs and have children who attend elementary, middle and high school in the area. Even in Sunnyside, people own permanent homes.

What is especially surprising is the fact these types of “celebrations” occur in Sunnyside, despite the city’s attempts to revitalize the area.

By posting videos and photos about these activ-

ities and bragging about them, students invite negative publicity the majority of students, faculty and staff of WVU try to overcome.

As we and many other outlets have said before, no one wants to prohibit students from having fun or celebrating an especially sweet victory. We only want students to celebrate responsibly without endangering themselves or the people around them.

Kanye versus Kimmel: Is West’s reaction merited?

After featuring a comedic reenactment of Kanye West’s BBC interview, Jimmy Kimmel has received multiple angry tweets from the rapper, stating Kimmel was ‘out of line.’

Benjamin russell guest columnist

It is not very often I get to go on Twitter to get deas for an opinion article, but this one started and ended almost entirely on social media.

Jimmy Kimmel aired a spoof of Kanye West’s recent interview with BBC, starring children reenacting the conversation.

In the interview, West explicitly and passionately expresses his point of view about the music industry, his creative ingenuities and “classism.” West describes this term as “rascism’s cousin” used to “hold peo-

ple back”.

Generally, he comes off as egotistical. In the interview he said, “(Hip-hop artists) are the real rock stars, and I’m the biggest of all of ‘em.”

The hour-long interview from BBC was apparently seen by Kimmel as a chance to take a shot at one of the most successful musicians of all time. After Kimmel’s show aired, West responded on Twitter, and later in a phone call with Kimmel. After West expressed his emotions, Kimmel aired another spoof the next day, taking shots at some of the things West said.

In reality, does Kimmel

have any merit in his spoof?

Kimmel is quoted as saying “He’s the number one rock star on the planet...whatever planet he is on...”

The truth is Kanye West is the number one rock star on the planet. Look at his numbers. There is no question Kanye West is one of the most influential people in hip-hop right now. West is constantly at the top of the charts in most-sold albums and has been making consistently strong albums for almost a decade.

West responded vehemently to Kimmel, exploding on Twitter with rage and humor concluding that “Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way

the first piece of honest media in years.”

Kimmel is notorious for taking shots at West, airing a couple other pieces on his late night show in the past.

There is no doubt Kanye West is crazy at times. It’s what makes him so successful. He is passionate enough about his music and decisions that it is hard to argue how or why the man came to be so popular. West is well within the lines to be upset.

With “The College Dropout,” “Late Registration,” “Graduation,” “808s & Heartbreak,” “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” “Watch the Throne” and now “Yeezus,” there should

be no contention whether he is one of the greatest producers of all time.

Although I do not condone all of West’s views, he had an insightful perspective when it came to the business of life in general, saying, “(People) are slowed down by the perception of themselves.”

West later goes on to say that his view of himself is not as self-oriented as people assume but rather more to motivate himself to accomplish greater things in life. Some of these accomplishments thus far include music, but he is working in the field of fashion design and hotel orchestration as well as other lines

music.yahoo.com

of business.

Kimmel has tried to pin West as a crazy, self-centered uneducated man rather than the well-accomplished and studious individual he actually has become through his years of experience.

With some people arguing it was only a joke and some people maintaining it was unnecessary and ignorant, there is no denying West won the argument and has more sufficient evidence to back up his point of view.

Kimmel should have picked on someone his own size to begin with. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Graduate degrees: immense waste of time, money william sharon ohio state

Is getting a graduate degree worth it? It used to be that having a BA was enough to land most jobs; it proved you were smart, you were motivated, and that provided you didn’t want to become a doctor or a lawyer, you were ready to handle almost any position. But nowadays sixty is the new forty, “insert color” is the new black, X is the new Y, and a BA just isn’t what it used to be (and our society appreciates cliches to such an extent that the devolution of English discourse to the conversational equivalent of fan fiction seems an inevitability). In light of a recent societal paradigm shift, “a grad degree

is the new undergrad degree,” and college students face yet another difficult economic decision upon graduating.

One would be hard pressed to argue that there are disadvantages to having a grad degree; after all, the median income of those with a master’s is a staggering 38.3 percent higher than that of those with only a bachelor’s degree. Of course, the controversy does not lie in this notion, but rather, in the question, “is getting a grad degree worthwhile?”

Students pursuing master’s degrees add an average of $31,000 dollars to their student debt, notwithstanding the additional time commitment required to complete a post grad education. Thus, pursuing a grad degree is nothing less than a finan-

cial investment, and therefore the decision to attend grad school is almost unequivocally an economic one.

This grad school costbenefit analysis poses a predicament, of sorts. If a prospective M.A. wants to earn extra money later, he or she must sacrifice extra money now (or go further into debt).

For someone who’s already well off (or has family paying his or her way), the benefit of attending grad school is much more apparent than it is for someone who is struggling to pay the rent; the immediate sacrifice is relatively small compared to the ultimate payout, so if one can pay for grad school, he or she will presumably earn the money back, and more. In fact, in 2009 the median salary of engineers

without master’s degrees was $24,000 less than that of engineering MA’s.

The downside of the grad school investment is exponentially more prominent for someone lower on the financial food chain than it is for someone who is fiscally well-off, however. The lifestyle of a grad student in major debt differs wildly from that of his or her debt free counterpart, so despite the promise of more money later in life, the sacrifice required of a poorer person in attending grad school is considerably more significant, even if the ultimate payout for both students is similar.

According to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of finaid.org, a student’s debt should not exceed his or her starting salary, and that optimally, it should

total no more than half of what he or she makes.

While this may not even be a discussion for a prospective grad student with financial security, it could easily be an insurmountable obstacle for one who is less financially stable.

Kantrowitz’ suggestion highlights another component of the grad school debate as well; the degree in question. Consider veterinary students and medical students; at Cornell University, for example, Vet and Med students pay a similar amount for a grad degree, and both wind up in about $93,000 of debt by the time they get out of school. The 50 percent of the Vet students who get jobs right away, however, earn an average starting salary of only $75,000, or, to put that in a more relevant statistic, $18,000 less

than their total debt.

While the economic aspects of a grad degree are predictable, they are not the only factors worth considering. After all, there is a certain pleasure (or displeasure) to be gained from an extensive education. Students may appreciate the lengthened time in school, the increased knowledge they gain in a field they enjoy, the prestige which accompanies higher education, and myriad other intangibles.

Because these categories are “priceless,” there is no definite method for determining the value of a graduate degree, and it is plausible that a prospective veterinarian would benefit from a post grad education, even if the decision to pursue said MA were financially ill-advised.

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year will be pleasant for you, especially if you enjoy your friends and fulfill your long-desired goals! You seem to be fortunate in nearly every area of your life. Your career blooms in July 2014. You’ll start to see the results of your efforts in the period that follows. If you are single, let others know of your decision to maintain that status. Some of you will meet several potential life mates. If you are attached, the two of you will need to deal with a certain amount of the unexpected. Stay goal-oriented and focused.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH The unexpected continues to make daily life exciting for anyone around you. Whether you’re working on a love letter or coming up with

a new business idea, your creativity seems to be at work. Tonight: Kick up your heels and be noticed. Don’t worry about tomorrow.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You will want to spend more time at home than you have in a while. Pressure could build, and you might feel more comfortable staying at home.

However, be aware that a family member likely will lose his or her cool as a result. Just do your thing.

Tonight: Make a favorite dinner.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH So many people seek you out that you easily could be overwhelmed by all of the requests and invitations. Listen to what people are sharing. Try to avoid getting into a tiff, if possible. Screen your calls in order to accomplish what you want. Tonight: Off to enjoy yourself.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Be aware of others’ needs. Recognize that you have a tendency to go overboard. You might not worry about the damages now, but you will later. Be careful if you become angry or frustrated, as you could be accident-prone. Tonight: A little restraint might help.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Others will be delighted to have you around, at least until they realize the level of your energy. In fact, if you can’t express yourself the way you want to, you could become difficult.

Be open to positive changes. Someone’s reaction might surprise you. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HH Trust your sixth sense about what is going on behind the scenes. You might want to rethink a recent decision

you’ve made once you either confirm or deny what your intuition is telling you. Don’t swallow your anger; make a point to choose your words with care. Tonight: Lie low.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Understand that someone you care about suddenly could become difficult. You do not have to react or do anything. Stay calm and centered.

You will see this person realize the error of his or her ways. A neighbor could be on the warpath. Tonight: Beam in more of what you want.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Someone you look up to seems to be bent out of shape. You might be taken aback by this person’s behavior at the moment. If you are smart, you will keep your opinion to yourself. This person will calm down, and you will feel more relaxed as a result.

Tonight: A must appearance.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH At first, you might be upset by what is going on. The unexpected could throw your plans in several different directions. You will be forced to gather your own facts, and as you do, you will notice that you are detaching considerably. Tonight: Think about taking off for a few days.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You absorb a lot of information, and quite quickly at that.

Nevertheless, you might feel challenged by someone you look up to.

Your limits could be tested, as well as your ability to handle someone else’s less-than-perfect behavior. Tonight: Spend time with a close friend.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Someone you know quite well might

come barreling toward you like an enraged animal. How you handle this person’s behavior could determine the long-term durability of this bond.

Think carefully about the ramifications. Tonight: Out and about. Others seek you out.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might be trying to do so much that you could be accident-prone as you speed from one person or activity to another. You might need to take some time to sit down, discuss what needs to get done immediately, and revamp your schedule. Tonight: A close encounter.

Mountaineer Idol eliminates two

Mick Posey/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Contestants who qualified for the next round applaud and celebrate at the end of the third round of Mountaineer Idol.

BY NICOLE CURTAIN CORREspONDENT @dailyathenaeum

Mountaineer Idol hosted its third elimination round Friday.

Students, locals and family members gathered in the Mountainlair Ballrooms to watch the top 10 contestants sing selections for the oldiesthemed night.

The social media immunity challenge, which was held prior to this week’s competition, was a deciding factor when it came down to who would go home or stay.

Throughout the week, Idol competitors had a chance to create a video and post it on the Mountaineer Idol Facebook page and Twitter account. At the end of the challenge, the contestant with the most retweets, likes and favorites would automatically advance to the next round.

During the event, Silence Hides Violence hosted a Hygienics Drive for the local Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center, which supports women of Monongalia, Preston and Taylor Counties. Paige Madden, one of the Idol competitors, is head of this student organization, which raises awareness of domestic violence and offers students

help on campus.

Hosts for the night were Paris Winfery, the 2012 Mountaineer Idol, and Holly Hunsberger, who won the competition in 2008 hosted the night. The panel of judges consisted of Shirley Robinson, head judge; Ryan Boyd, academic professional in the Office of Admissions; Joel Brown, the special events coordinator of University Events; Chelsea Malone, the 2011 Mountaineer Idol and John Williams, a senior political science student and SGA govenor.

The first to begin the night was Farah Famouri, who performed “Unchained Melody” by the Righteous Brothers. Famouri said she was content with her performance.

“I usually am super, super nervous, and today, I was really confident and happy about it,” she said.

This is Famouri’s third year competing in Mountaineer Idol, and she said she enjoys the entire experience.

“We are nothing but supportive and friendly to one another, and my favorite part is actually the two hours we spend sound checking before the competition,” she said.

The audience clapped and sang along to songs like “Born to be Wild,” performed

by Skip Smith, “Country Roads,” performed by Alexa Ponick, “Tell Me Something Good,” performed by Sadiyyah Owens and “Love,” performed by Olivia Bayer.

Hunsberger, the co-host of this year’s Mountaineer Idol, said she thinks this competition is a bit different than those in past years.

“I think the biggest difference between this year and a lot of the other years is the diversity, the props everyone is using and how they are playing the audience,” she said. “I think it’s pretty cool, because that’s something we haven’t had.”

The night finished up with performances by Scott Link, Kathleen McElroy and Paige Madden. While the judges tallied their scores, Malone, 2011’s winner, performed “At Last,” for the oldies theme.

The winner of the social media immunity challenge was Scott Link, who got 441 points out of his video on Facebook and Twitter. The top seven who will advance to the next round are: Link, Farah Famouri, Paige Madden, Olivia Bayer, Marisa Terwilliger, Skip Smith and Sadiyyah Owens.

Madden, who competed in 2012, said she thinks the contestants have been bringing strong talent to the stage.

“I actually think the com-

petition is pretty stiff this year so it’s really anyone’s ball game,” she said.

Chris Hickey, director of outreach for the WVU Student Government Association, said he has been supporting Famouri but believes there are some contestants to watch out for.

“Scott and Sadiyyah are huge threats because I think it’s about finding who is the best mixture of a vocalist as well as an entertainer,” Hickey said.

The fourth round of Mountaineer Idol will be held Friday in the Mountainlair Ballrooms at 8 p.m. The theme is country and two contestants will be sent home.

This round will include the annual Mountaineer Idol Gives Back, which will include a silent auction to raise funds for the WVU Children’s Hospital. Donations of stuffed animals will be collected for Jessi’s Pals, which will be given to children in the hospital.

Coke is sponsoring the bottle and can drive in the residence halls. For each bottle and can donated, Coke will donate $5 to Jessi’s Pals.

Student production of ‘God of Carnage’ opens at CAC Noelle Harris A&E Writer

West Virginia University School of Theatre & Dance put on “God of Carnage” this weekend and taught audience members how much drama two children could cause.

“God of Carnage,” a play

by Yasmina Reza, is about the altercation between two pairs of parents after their sons get in a fight.

The two sets of parents

are quite different, with different moral values and ways of disciplining their children.

The first pair, Michael and Veronica Novak, believe in nurturing their children and also disciplining them for the smallest infractions without finding out the cause of the problem.

The Novaks seemed to have the perfect marriage and home. They take the time to teach their children things they might not learn in school, such as fine art.

Alan and Annette Raleigh are a different type of couple. Alan is a lawyer who never has a day off and struggles to find the time for his family.

However, they both believe in standing up for their children like the Novaks. The Raleighs dig deeper to figure out how the event was influenced and what the truth is.

The discussion between the parents started out civil, but it devolved over the course of the evening into petty arguments;

their discussion fell into loaded topics of misogyny, alcoholism, homophobia and racial prejudice.

One of the central dramatic moments during the play involved Annette vomiting all over the Novaks’ coffee table and Veronica’s antique art books.

Andy Ryan, a law student at WVU who attended to see his brother perform, said he knew about the technology behind the fake vomit beforehand.

“I thought it worked pretty well,” Ryan said. “It

got a good reaction from the crowd.”

The actress who played Annette had the difficult job of making fake vomiting look real, and she did a great job with it.

The actors did a fantastic job of convincing the audience the discussion was actually happening.

The audience was engaged the entire time. The theater roared at the comedic parts and were glued in anticipation to the dramatic ones.

“I thought it was very good,” Ryan said. “It was

very intense.”

The play had a nice mix of funny and intense moments and managed to turn intense moments into comedic ones.

“God of Carnage” will continue to run Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre in the WVU Creative Arts Center. For more information on this production or upcoming shows at the CAC, visit http://cac.wvu.edu. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

WVU turns fortune around against Cowboys Heading into Saturday’s critical conference matchup against No. 11 Oklahoma State, the West Virginia Mountaineers appeared to be in absolutely dire straits.

WVU had just suffered a shut out – its first in more than a decade – after losing to the Maryland Terrapins for the first time since January 2004. We’re not talking a 10-0 or 21-0 shutout, either. The Terps hung a gaudy 37 points in a downpour of both points and rain in the ugliest game for the Mountaineers since Dana Holgorsen arrived in Morgantown.

But even when the collective media and even some of its fans began to see the writing on the walls – a potential 4- or even 3-win season in the works, and more than likely a season without a bowl game for the first time since 2001 – the Mountaineers never lost faith in themselves.

Leading up to the Oklahoma State game, Holgorsen said the team had its best practices of 2013 after the inexplicable shutout loss to the Terps just a week earlier. It’s not exactly uncommon for a head coach to say this to the media after a big letdown, but in this case, it seemed that Holgorsen’s observations were accurate.

The attendance and behavior of WVU’s fans Saturday must also be noted.

Despite how bad the team played the week before, and how potentially grim the outlook was for the team and its fans after the embarrassing defeat against Maryland, the West Virginia faithful was not only in attendance Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium, they made their presence felt and clearly made an already stout defense even tougher.

In terms of home wins against ranked opponents, it was easily the best for the Mountaineers since edging then-No. 8 Pitt in 2009.

Still, as big a win as Saturday was for WVU’s program, fans still need to take this win with a grain of salt.

Despite coming into the game as the No. 11 team, Oklahoma State came to Morgantown absolutely untested this season, so it’s entirely possible the Cowboys are simply overrated at this point in 2013.

The number of chances to win the game, or at least take a second-half lead, OK State squandered also can’t be overlooked.

Special teams cost both teams, but they cost Oklahoma State big. Two horrendous punts and a chip shot field goal off the upright that could have tied the game in the fourth quarter could have easily been the difference, as could have the 10 penalties for a whopping 96 yards against the Cowboys.

You still can’t entirely discount what the Mountaineers accomplished Saturday, especially from a defensive standpoint. Despite the fact Pistol Pete and Oklahoma State spent the majority of the game shooting themselves in the foot, there’s no doubt West Virginia’s defense was indeed a catalyst for at least some of the miscues from Walsh and OSU’s offense.

From one perspective, the Mountaineers actually have a lot of room to improve after beating the No. 11 team in the country by double digits.

After the game Saturday, Clint Trickett said the potential to continue to improve is actually very exciting, because if the Mountaineers can continue to develop its relatively inexperienced offense, WVU could be more dangerous than many people had

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Redshirt junior quarterback Clint Trickett drops back to pass against Oklahoma State.

Quarterback Trickett gets win in first WVU start, defense steps up against No. 11 Cowboys by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

Led by redshirt junior quarterback Clint Trickett and an inspired effort by its defense, West Virginia rebounded from a shutout loss to rival Maryland, beating No. 11 Oklahoma State 30-21 Saturday in Morgantown.

Due to an injury sustained by redshirt freshman quarterback Ford Childress, Trickett became the third Mountaineer quarterback to start a game this season.

Trickett took advantage of the opportunity, leading West Virginia to a redeeming and perhaps seasonchanging win against the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

“Clint did a great job of

keeping the play alive and we had a sense that he could do that,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“The communication just needs to get better.

The relationship with me and him needs to get better, but he did what we thought he could do.”

Completing 24 of 50 passes for 309 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, Trickett had ups and downs throughout the game, but helped lead the West Virginia offense to a bounce-back performance and the first conference win of the season.

“Through the first four games we weren’t really having fun on offense. We were pressing (and) just a little tense,” Trickett said.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the West Vir-

ginia offense following its loss to Maryland, Trickett and the Mountaineers moved on and bounced back.

“It was a rough week …

We just kept grinding and believed in what coach (said) to us, and we took care of it. I’m proud of our guys,” Trickett said.

West Virginia’s defense set the tone early in the game when redshirt junior cornerback Ishmael Banks intercepted a pass from Oklahoma State quarterback J.W. Walsh and returned it 58 yards for a touchdown.

The Mountaineer defense forced three turnovers on the day and held the West Virginia lead when the offense was struggling.

“If you want to go from

good to great then you’ve got to make bigger plays.

Cook’s interception in the fourth quarter was huge.

(Banks’) interception return for a touchdown was enormous … That’s the reason we won the game,” Holgorsen said.

Oklahoma State averaged 45.3 points per game coming into Saturday’s game. West Virginia was able to put consistent pressure on Walsh and keep the Oklahoma State offense off-balance.

“We bounced off of him (Walsh) several times, had a chance to sack him I don’t know how many times, but I was pleased with the pressure we were able to get on him,” said defensive coordinator Keith Patterson.

“Our kids have just

bought in to what I ask them and what our coaches ask … The thing that makes me the most proud is the effort and the intensity.”

West Virginia will have to keep up the defensive intensity in order to string wins together in the Big 12. The Mountaineers travel to Baylor Saturday to take on quarterback Bryce Petty and the Baylor Bears.

Averaging 572.2 yards per game this season, Baylor is No. 2 in the country in total offense and will pose a threat to West Virginia’s defense.

Kickoff between West Virginia and Baylor is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern and the game will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia takes down Oklahoma State, No. 9 Baylor by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The WVU football team wasn’t the only Mountaineer team to knock off a top-ranked opponent this weekend.

The Mountaineers got their first Big 12 Conference win of the 2013 season, defeating Oklahoma State 2-1 Friday night at the Cowgirl Soccer Complex in Stillwater, Okla.

This was the third straight victory in a conference opener for the Mountaineers, who are the reigning Big 12 regular-season champions.

The Mountaineers outshot the Cowgirls 21-5.

WVU placed six shots on goal and earned an 8-1 corner kick advantage.

Junior forward Kate Schwindel put WVU up 1-0 in the 42nd minute after she connected her third shot on goal. Schwindel scored off an assist from junior defender Jess Crowder, sending the ball low to the left corner and past OSU’s goalkeeper Michela Ongaro.

“At the end of the day, we were dominating statistically, but this game

depends on who finishes.

Kate created so many opportunities in the first half.

I thought we kept the momentum moving throughout the half, but we just didn’t get the result we deserved. That goal from Kate was what we needed,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

In the second half, sophomore forward Kelsey Maloney headed a cross from Schwindel in the 72nd minute, putting the Mountaineers up 2-0. It was the fourth goal for the sophomore this season.

Senior goalkeeper Sara Keane had an easy night, facing only two shots on goal. The Mt. Laurel, N.J., native made one save Friday night in the 82nd minute when she stopped sophomore midfielder Madison Mercado’s low shot near the right post.

Friday night was the ninth time the Mountaineers scored first. WVU is 7-0-2 when scoring first this season.

After the Mountaineers routed Oklahoma State, the squad went on to knock off the No. 9 Baylor Bears 4-3 Sunday afternoon in Waco, Texas.

“These are two huge

conference wins on the road,” Izzo-Brown said.

“Baylor had a 31-game unbeaten streak going on, so to come here and get the win was big. More importantly, both wins give us the points that we needed.

I’m proud of the way we came in and battled the elements today to get those points.”

Baylor hadn’t allowed a goal at home this season, but that didn’t stop the Mountaineers from going on a scoring spree in Waco, Texas.

It was the third top 10 team WVU faced this season.

Maloney opened up the Mountaineers’ lead in the 23rd minute, scoring off an assist from Schwindel. Maloney beat Michelle Kloss on a one-on-one situation, sending the ball right into the net for her fifth goal this season.

This was the first goal allowed by BU at home all season.

Schwindel once again came up big for her team, scoring off an assist from Crowder in the 42nd minute.

By the end of the first half, WVU had a 9-6 shot advantage with BU holding

a 5-1 corner advantage.

Freshman defender Kadeisha Buchannan scored her first career goal against the Bears in the 60th minute. Junior defender Carly Black assisted on the scoring play.

The No. 9 Bears were not going down without a fight.

In the 70th minute, freshman defender Lindsay Burns scored, giving the Bears life late in the game.

Sophomore forward Bri Campos made it a onegoal game with 10 minutes left, but the Mountaineers were determined not to let the game slip through their fingers.

Sophomore defender Cari Price sent a header past Baylor’s Kloss off a corner kick from senior Frances Silva with only 13 minutes left in the game.

Baylor scored with nine seconds left in the game, but time ran out before the Bears could tie the Mountaineers.

The Mountaineers are still undefeated in the Big 12. WVU finished with a 20-15 shot advantage. Keane made six saves Sunday afternoon. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Mountaineers conclude first tournament of season by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s tennis team concluded their first tournament of the season at the USAFA Invitational at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado during the weekend.

Head coach Miha Lisac, in his first tournament as the Mountaineers coach, said he was pleased with his team’s performance.

“It is a process. There will be ups and downs, but it is important that we see progress from ourselves,” he said.

The first day of the tour-

nament brought about many smiles for the Mountaineers. The players earned in the opening rounds in both doubles and singles matches.

In flight “alpha” doubles, the Mountaineers’ number one duo from last season, sophomore Hailey Barrett and junior Ikttesh Chahal, started the day with an 8-4 victory over the New Mexico duo. Barrett and Chahal moved to 2-0 on the season with a Round 2 victory over Wyoming, 8-6.

In flight “bravo” doubles, sophomore Vivian Tsui and freshman Oana Manole had a first-round bye, and then had an 8-1

victory over Air Force in the second round.

However, it was not all that easy for the entire Mountaineer squad.

Freshman Kaja Mrgole and sophomore Irinka Toidze lost in doubles in the first and second rounds to Air Force and Colorado, respectively.

Lisac said he used the events of day one as a motivator going into Saturday’s play.

“We did some things that I liked, and some other things that we need to improve on,” Lisac said. “Tomorrow we need to go out and take what we learned today and implement it

into our play tomorrow.”

On day two of the threeday tournament, Mrgole and Manole won their first singles matches as Mountaineers.

“Like yesterday, I thought we did some things today that we have been working on but also we went away from some things that we have been stressing,” Lisac said.

In flight “bravo” doubles, Tsui and Manole fell to New Mexico, 8-5.

“It was up and down today, but we must improve to make sure we can sustain focus and play at our level for multiple days and matches in a row.” Lisac

said.

Sunday saw the tournament’s final action, and it concluded with the Mountaineers earning two thirdplace finishes in doubles and several victories in singles play.

In doubles, Barrett and Chahal combined for an 8-4 victory over Air Force’s Tiffany Tran and Jocelle Rudico. The Mountaineers’ top duo from a year ago finished flight “alpha” in third, with a 3-1 record.

In flight “bravo”, Tsui and Manole defeated Chrissie Hoolahan and Courtney Schulte of UNM, 8-4, to finish in third place.

In flight “alpha” singles,

Barrett won her second singles match of the season. Tsui concluded play in flight “bravo” with her second singles match victory on the season. Flight “charlie” saw freshman Kaja Mrgole earn a victory.

Overall, Wyoming’s Veronica Popovici won flight “alpha”. In flight “bravo”, Dulski of New Mexico claimed the top spot. Buffalo’s Anamaria Candanoza won flight “charlie.”

The Mountaineers will travel to the University of Akron next weekend for another three-day tournament. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Junior forward Andy Bevin fights for possession with Akron players in Sunday night’s match against the No. 10 Zips.

WVU falls to No. 10 Akron in conference opener by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

A fifth-minute goal by Akron’s Reinaldo Brenes made the difference at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium in Morgantown Sunday night in a 1-0 Zips victory over West Virginia.

No. 10 Akron handed WVU its fourth consecutive loss and its third straight in West Virginia’s five-match homestand.

The Mountaineers are just 3-5-1 on the season and opened their Mid-American Conference slate with a loss to the Zips, which won the league’s regular season title eight years in a row.

The goal was Brenes’ fourth of the season and continued his tear for game-winning goals.

Just five minutes into the match, Brenes banged

home a rebounded shot from right in front of the goal. Then, Akron’s defense went to work.

Akron goalkeeper Fernando Pina earned his fifth shutout of the season. The Zips gave up just five goals in nine matches this season. West Virginia created 10 shots, but just three of them were on goal.

“We had chances,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “For as good as a defending team that they are, we created a heck of a lot of opportunities. If not for a little bit better finishing, a little bit of luck, opportunities were there. We just didn’t capitalize.”

Akron outshot West Virginia 14-10 and sent in seven shots on goal.

Freshman goalkeeper Brent Arnold started the second match of his career and earned six saves.

Perhaps West Virginia’s best chance came midway through the second half when junior forward Andy Bevin headed a shot that hit off the crossbar. The Mountaineers forced Akron to send a fourth player in the backline after starting just three to begin the night.

Akron moves to 7-2-0 on the season and seemingly is now in firm control of hosting the MAC Tournament in November. The Zips moved to 102-1 all-time against West Virginia.

Sunday’s match closed a very difficult month for West Virginia. The team saw four opponents ranked in the top 15 in September in Georgetown, Indiana, St. John’s and Akron. The Mountaineers were also forced to take on two more formidable opponents from

the Big Ten in Michigan and Penn State Sept. 21 and 25, respectively.

“We played a very, very difficult September,” LeBlanc said. “I think we all hoped we would be on the positive side of games. Tonight we did a better job of grinding in a game that required us to, but we also did a good job with the footballing.”

WVU has played three matches in nine days and will now get a wellneeded rest. The team will play again Saturday night when Northern Illinois, another MAC opponent, visits Morgantown.

The match will kick off at 6 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Volleyball beats Kansas State, earns first Big 12 win

KYLE MONROE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Sophomores Brittany Sample, No. 1, and Caleah Wells, No. 7, attempt to block a shot from Kansas State.

by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After going winless in the conference in the 2012 season, head coach Jill Kramer and West Virginia notched their first Big 12 win, defeating Kansas State 3-1 (25-16, 18-25, 25-22,25-22) in front of a crowd of 912 – the thirdlargest crowd since 2008.

“It’s nice to know that we have a good volleyball team.

They have built so much trust in one another through all their hard work, over the spring, the summer and the preseason,” Kramer said. “We

have a team that cares for one another, I love them to death, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Junior middle blocker Evyn McCoy said the support of the fans was especially thrilling.

“The support from the fans is great, especially now that we are entering Big 12 play,” McCoy said. “Our preseason has proved that we are ready to take care of business this season.”

WVU took control of the match early behind sophomore setter Brittany Sample’s 12 assists and managed to hold the Wildcats to a .000 hitting percentage in the first

set. Sample distributed the ball evenly to her team as four Mountaineers recorded three kills; sophomore middle blocker Caleah Wells had three kills on three attempts for WVU. West Virginia native Hannah Shreve played a major part for WVU in her first career start; Shreve was good for one kill and a block in the first set but finished the night with five kills and six blocks.

In the second set, the Mountaineers were held to a .000 hitting percentage. Senior outside hitter Dakota Kaufman led the charge in the second set for the Wildcats by recording four kills

and two blocks. WVU managed to bring the score within four points late in the set after back-to-back errors from Kansas State, but Kaufman ended the run with a thunderous kill. Three straight errors by the Mountaineers ended the second set and evened the match at one set each.

WVU looked to be in control for most of the third set but let the Wildcats back in when they evened the score at 18 late in the set. Two consecutive errors from Wells forced Coach Kramer to call her final timeout. After the break, sophomore outside hitter

Hannah Sackett responded with two straight kills to put her team up 20-19. Sackett added one more kill before McCoy clinched the set with an ace. Sackett led all players with seven kills on eight attempts in the third.

An error by Sackett and an ace from Kansas State’s Katie Brand opened up the fourth set and after four more WVU errors and one more ace, the Wildcats owned a 10-3 lead which forced Kramer to use both of her time-outs early.

With no more time-outs to lean on, the Mountaineers found a way to claw back into the set. The block soph-

omore Nikki Attea had on Chelsea Keating’s attempted kill erupted the Coliseum and seemed to spark the WVU comeback.

WVU stormed back behind Attea’s five kills and managed to gain its first lead when Sample and Wells blocked Dakota Kaufman to pull ahead 21-20.

Kills from McCoy and Attea gave the Mountaineers match point at 24-22. An ace from Jordan Lee capped off the incredible comeback and give WVU its first Big 12 win.

The volleyball team takes on TCU in Texas Wednesday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

After loss to Arizona State, Kiffin out as USC coach LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California fired Lane Kiffin early Sunday morning, ending the

coach’s tumultuous tenure Ed Orgeron was picked as a few hours after the Tro- USC’s interim head coach jans lost 62-41 at Arizona by athletic director Pat State.

Haden, who dismissed Kif-

fin at the airport following the Trojans’ flight home.

USC (3-2, 0-2 Pac-12) has eight games left under Orgeron, Kiffin’s assistant head coach and the former Mississippi head coach.

“It’s never the perfect time to do these things, but I thought it was the right time,” Haden said.

Haden fired Kiffin in a 3 a.m. meeting at the Trojans’ private airport terminal, but not before a 45-minute chat in which Kiffin tried to change Haden’s mind.

Haden didn’t hire Kiffin, but had been firmly behind the coach until Saturday, when the Trojans matched the most points allowed in school history.

The loss was the seventh in 11 games for a high-profile program still struggling under the cumulative effect of NCAA sanctions.

“He did a lot of things well under some very difficult circumstances here,” Haden said. “No one could have worked harder. He did a lot of the things we asked.

Graduated players, never had compliance issues ... and he really worked under some very difficult NCAA sanctions, there’s no doubt about it.”

USC must finish an already disappointing season without Kiffin while looking

for another coach to reboot its proud program. The Trojans are off this week before returning Oct. 10 at the Coliseum against Arizona.

Kiffin went 28-15 in parts of four seasons Ain his selfdescribed dream job, but USC is 0-2 in conference play for the first time since 2001 after losses to Arizona State and Washington State – and the record only partly captures the discontent of USC’s fans and alumni.

The Trojans were unimpressive on offense even in their three victories this season, stoking discontent around a school with skyhigh expectations despite the tail end of heavy NCAA penalties stemming from coach Pete Carroll’s tenure.

Kiffin received withering criticism for persisting in calling the Trojans’ offensive plays himself well into the school’s second straight poor offensive season. The Trojans lost their home opener 10-7 to the unheralded Cougars earlier this month, and Coliseum fans serenaded USC repeatedly with chants of “Fire Kiffin!”

USC has been in a slow tailspin since going 10-2 and beating Oregon in 2011, the last year of its bowl ban. After starting as the preseason No. 1 last year, the Trojans finished 7-6 and out of the

rankings, followed by this season’s disappointments.

“I think it could easily be asked, ‘Why not last year after the 7-6 season?’” Haden said. “’What do you know now that you didn’t know after a 7-6 season?’ The rationale was the prior year, Lane had won 10 games.

We thought, and (were) hoping that last year was an aberration. We felt we could rebound, make some changes, and indeed, Lane did. ... But at the end of the day, we just weren’t making the progress I felt we needed to make.”

The firing comes less than five months after Haden said Kiffin had “been as good as he can be” in the face of USC’s sanctions.

Before this season began, Haden said he was “100 percent” behind the embattled Kiffin.

“We support our coaches 100 percent until they’re no longer our coaches,” Haden said. “Why would you support a coach 85 percent?”

The 52-year-old Orgeron went 10-25 in three seasons at Ole Miss, but that failed tenure did little to diminish his stature as a bulldog recruiter and defensive line coach. He coached alongside Kiffin at Tennessee before following his friend back to USC.

WALP

fensive line can just sort some things out.

Even Trickett, despite a pair of really ugly interceptions Saturday, showed as much promise as any WVU quarterback this year in his debut as the starter. I think it’s safe to discount Ford Childress’ big day against a pitiful Georgia State, while Trickett finished the day with more than 300 yards and his first touchdown as a Mountaineer against a much better defense.

The thing is, Saturday showed West Virginia doesn’t really need a highoctane offense to be competitive; rather, they need one that can just move the

ball and give rest to this much improved WVU defense when they have to.

The only problem is there isn’t a whole lot of time for the adjustments to take place. With Baylor and Texas Tech (both ranked in the top 25) next on the slate for WVU, it’s quite possible these games will be the toughest remaining tests for the Mountaineers this season.

Now, after hope was restored Saturday in Morgantown, they’re two tests that certainly seem more winnable than they did just a week ago.
