Clements to give State of Univ today Students hope President addresses behavior reputation by alexis randolph correspondent @dailyathenaeum

President James P. Clements will address the goals, accomplishments and challenges of West Virginia Uni-

versity in his annual State of the University address at today’s Faculty Senate.

In 2012, Clements talked about student behavior after football games. After more than 1,000 students started fires and police officers were assaulted during the Sunnyside riots, Clements said he felt these were behaviors that needed to be changed.

Lauren Allen, a medical laboratory science student, said she believes student

behavior is still an issue and needs to be addressed again.

“The crazy behavior of students after football games, such as flipping a car, should be addressed,” Allen said. “It really does impact the learning environment. We were even in English class and talking about it. It disrupted class and caused a side step from what we were learning.”

Allen said the goals of the University should be education-based.

“The goal of the University should be to get people to graduate and to get them to be successful. Most people see the University as being a fun time, but I feel I should be more centered on education instead of extra-curricular activities,” Allen said.

Megan Tenney, a sophomore forensic science student, said she feels the University has had many accomplishments throughout 2012.

“I think we have great academic programs, as well as a great Honors College,” Tenney said. “There is a great focus on success in dorm environments such as the WELLWVU programs.”

Tenney said while she feels the address is important, she does not think attending the event is something many students will see as beneficial.

“I think many students won’t see the point in go-

ing when they can just read about it online or in the paper the next day,” she said.

“As students, unfortunately we tend to be too busy to attend things like this.”

President Clements will deliver his fifth address at the Erickson Alumni Center at 3:15 p.m.

The address will be broadcast at http://webcast.wvu. edu/. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

For women in Monongalia County, there are numerous resources to assist in the cost of mammograms and other necessary medical screenings.

One such program, the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program, is available for low-income women who are not properly insured.

“Our program provides free breast and cervical screening for women ages 25 to 64,” said Shelly Dusic, information specialist with WVBCCSP. “We cover the clinical breast exam, pap test, pelvic exam and mammograms if they qualify.

Zombie run helps out Fairmont Community Garden

By Evelyn Merithew Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Dressing up like a zombie and spooking people on a run through the mountains of West Virginia proved to be a successful way to earn money for charity.

Sunday, the Morgantown Roller Vixens roller derby league hosted a 5k Zombie Run at Heston Farms in Fairmont, W.Va. “(The run) was fun; it got my adrenaline going. The runners were met by zombies at least every quarter mile or so,” said Titiya Kunjara, West Virginia University alumna and event participant. “The zombies were uphill, downhill, on flat road and at water stations.”

The proceeds from the event will be donated to the Fairmont Community Garden, which grows organic food locally. “(The Garden) is try-

“Our idea of low income is 200 percent of the federal poverty level,” Dusic said.

“So, if you’re a family of one and make less than $1,915 a month, you qualify, which is actually very generous.”

Coverage provided by the WVBCCSP does not stop after the mammogram screenings. If a woman enrolled in the program needs further diagnostic screenings or possible cancer treatments, the patient may also qualify for the WVBCCSP Medicaid program. This program will then cover the costs involved with cancer treatments.

At the beginning of 2013, the West Virginia legislature gave WVBCCSP a grant to enroll 1,000 new women in the program.

Of those women, 400 required follow-up services, and because they were enrolled in the WVBCCSP program, they

were all able to receive the services they needed.

“I was new to BCCSP at the time, so I promised if my clinics got out there and recruited I would go pink for October, which is why I have pink hair now,” Dusic said. “It’s a really good program, its available to a lot of people, and it does provide a lot of assistance.”

The WVBCCSP is located throughout the state of West Virginia and has six providers in Monongalia County alone.

Women who want to find out if they qualify for the program or a screening location nearby should contact Shelly Dusic by phone at 304-2932370 or by email at sdusic@ hsc.wvu.edu For more information about WVBCCSP visit http:// www.wvdhhr.org/bccsp/.

In addition to providing screenings through local clinics, WVBCCSP provides funding for many women who go to Bonnie’s Bus for their mammography screenings.

Bonnie’s Bus is a mobile mammography unit that travels to sites across West Virginia, offering one-stop breast cancer screenings in convenient places.

“Bonnie’s Bus goes all over

West Virginia doing mammograms for women in their community so they don’t have to travel miles and miles to get a mammogram,” said Sara Jane Gainor, director of Bonnie’s Bus mobile mammography program. “We take insurance, Medicare and Medicaid and also try to raise funds for women who have no payment source.”

Gainor said it is important for women to realize the early detection provided by mammograms truly saves lives.

“One in eight women get breast cancer before they die, and the earlier you find it, the better your chances of recovery,” Gainor said. “If you find it really early, you can almost always recover from breast cancer.”

At the end of the race, participants were able to relax and listen to live music from various artists, including Captain Catfeesh and Ghost House. They were also entertained by the Fairmont Fine Arts Association.

There was also food, drinks and vendors placed around the farm selling locally made items such as clothing and jewelry.

Beth Tantingler, a member of the Morgantown Roller Vixens, said she thinks the event was extremely successful. “(The event) went pretty awesome. There was a great turnout, and it went a lot better than we anticipated, because we put the run together in just six weeks,” Tantlinger said. “Overall, it was very successful.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Approximately 150 runners turned up for the Zombie Run, and about 100 volunteers dressed up as zombies for the run.

The event included a variety of spooky obstacles like spider webs, and the terrain was very mountainous, presenting the runners with constant challenges.

Zombie volunteers were placed throughout the course to scare and surprise the runners and encourage them to finish the race.

WVU freshman and member of the WVU boxing team Andre Frasheri was one of many boxers who came out to volunteer at the race.

“We’re happy to be doing this, and we’re happy to offer this to the community members,” Willey said. “It’s something we really enjoy, and we’re looking forward to having everyone out here.”

Upon arrival, visitors took a hayride to the top of the hill where turkey fingers, chicken nuggets, apple cider, apples, ice cream and other snacks were available free of charge.

Stations were spread across the farm and varied from taxidermy to identifying different weeds.

Kim Foley attended Family Farm Day with her twin sons and said she felt the boys would really enjoy it.

“This is the first year we’ve come to the event, but we felt they would really enjoy just getting to see live animals and learning about that,” Foley said.

Learning opportunities were abundant, and it was

an educational outdoor event for everyone to love.

“We’ve really enjoyed it; it’s just a nice day out and nice fall weather. My son loved the bug exhibit; he really liked touching the tarantula. My daughter’s loving all the food, ice cream and popcorn; just some nice outdoor fun,” said Leah Holloran, a representative of University Health Associates.

Matthew Wilson, the interim division director at the Davis College, said the day is designed to teach the public about what goes on at the farm and why it’s important.

Arts Walk transforms downtown, displays students work by jake jarvis correspondent @dailyathenaum

Friday nights in Morgantown are usually marked by wild parties on Grant Avenue, free nachos at the Mountainlair, cars getting flipped and even a few runins with the local police.

Friday night, however, was a refreshing change from typical Morgantown night life.

The 10th annual Arts Walk took place, hosted by Main Street Morgantown, and had a successful turnout.

The first stop of the evening should have been at Arts Monongahela at 201 High St. Arts Monongahela was a buzzing hub of activity. With barely any standing room inside the door, visitors took great interest in the exhibit “SHADY: Our Neighbors the Trees.” This exhibit was to show the important interactions between humans and nature.

For the exhibit, artist Nik Botkin created eight-foot-tall sculptures of trees that dotted the gallery. The sculptures had great detail and represented different spe-

cies of trees.

Also at Arts Monongahela was a unique and educational work from Elizabeth Basham, a West Virginia University graduate student in forest resource management. Basham painted sonotubes, which are typically used in construction, to look like the bark of a tree.

These sculptures were then toured around the state to teach people about measuring trees, merchantable height and various diameter measurements.

Plenty of WVU students turned out to showcase their artistic abilities.

The WVU Printmaking Club set up shop outside City Hall. Visitors got to see a diverse group of artists from varying backgrounds on the many tables.

“I am most inspired by the punk culture,” said Jessica Poole, an art and design student. “I also mix that with my Native American background to get some cool stuff.”

WVU’s only photography club on campus, Full Frame Photography Club, displayed their works in Mills Group.

Strizy performs in the Courthouse Square while artists sell their work to passersby during the Arts Walk.

“We try to embrace people from all majors, not just art students,” said Brittany Mick, an art and design student.

Despite many of the artists on showcase being older than 18, there was one young artist pursuing her dream.

Stationed in Cold Stone Creamery, Nada Aboraya displayed her small collection of photographs. Aboraya’s mentor Andrea Hughes was the official artist on display.

Through a mentorship program of her school, Abo-

raya has been able to explore the possible career opportunities that come with being a photographer. Showcasing with Hughes’ art in the Arts Walk is part of this experience.

“It feels incredible for people to actually see my stuff and like it,” Aboraya said. “For a high school senior thinking of attending WVU, this is an invaluable experience.”

Perhaps the most adorable part of the entire evening took place right in front of City Hall. A DJ set up a make

shift dance floor with cardboard boxes. At first, people were hesitant to hit the floor in public.

Not soon after the music started and the lights lit up the street, a hoard of elementary-aged kids danced the night away. Crowds of people stood around to watch the young kids dance.

The entire evening the streets were crowded with people interested in art.

Sometimes there was a wait to get into a venue because of how many patrons were

already inside. According to Jeane Hagan from Pinocchio’s Books and Toys, the exposure for the stories provides a boost to the economy.

“So many people who have never been here walk in and say, ‘Oh my gosh, this is totally where I’m going to do my Christmas shopping,’” Hagan said.

“It’s a very positive event.

It brings people downtown that might never come down here as often.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Benny Skyn to play D-Why rocks 123 Pleasant Street Friday Morgantown Sound by stephanie messinger correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Morgantown resident Benny Skyn is coming to the Gluck Theatre tonight at 8 for another impressive solo performance.

Don’t be fooled by Skyn’s cowboy hat and acoustic guitar; his music isn’t primarily country. He sings a variety of music including blues, rock ‘n’ roll, folk and jazz.

Skyn began singing at age six, when he received his first guitar from his parents.

As a kid, Skyn participated in multiple talent shows.

“All my life I’ve been keeping rhythm, even with my hands, and have been performing live since the age of nine,” Skyn said.

Skyn only received guitar lessons for a short period of time and then continued to teach himself.

Growing up, Skyn played with a band when he was 15 years old and didn’t start performing solo until he was 18 years old. Benny Skyn has performed in different states as well.

Skyn became a Mountaineer when he moved to Morgantown from Farettsville, W.Va., in January 2011.

Performing live in front of

Josh Ewers

a big audience might intimidate other performers, but Skyn said he disagrees.

“The bigger the audience, the less nervous I get,” Skyn said. “A small audience is what’s very terrifying, because it’s up close and more personal.”

After performing for approximately 40 years, Skyn seems to be used to the idea.

“My favorite part is making the audience respond – happy, sad, and feel something,” Skyn said. “That’s the main thing. To make your audience feel, and if you can’t, you’re not doing something right.”

Skyn performs regularly at Tunez and Cue on High Street and Cafe Bacchus. He has opened for a variety of performers such as Charlie McCoy and Peter Rowen. All of Skyn’s music is a original.

One of his favorite French composers, Joseph-Maurice Ravel, is known especially for his melodies, orchestral and instrumental textures and effects. Skyn also mentioned his interest for “Elton John’s early stuff” and Jackson Browne.

“If anyone likes wellcrafted lyrics, and a good rhythm is your cup of tea, my music is definitely for you.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Lorde releases new album Mitchell Glazier Correspondent @Dailyathenaeum

Enter Ella YelichO’Connor, a 16 year-old Auckland, New Zealand native, otherwise known as Lorde.

Given her meteoric rise to fame (mere months), her title is fitting.

Lorde’s debut track, “Royals,” has perched at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 List, which hasn’t happened to an artist that young since Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now” in 1987.

For a debut album, “Pure Heroine” is incredibly cohesive and poetic. Rappers, such as Kanye West and the haunting pop queen Lana Del Rey were cited by Lorde as inspirations for the album.

Unlike many of her fellow chart-toppers, such as Katy Perry and Robin Thicke, Lorde pens a majority of her songs. Tracks such as “Tennis Court” and “Million Dollar Bills” feature a mastery of lyricism and are laid over sledgehammering dance beats.

While there are definite nods to Lorde’s favorite musicians, there is a true identity attached to “Pure Heroine”.

The album is stark black with white lettering, announcing the title with intensity and mystery. This theme seems to carry throughout Lorde’s style. Her black dresses with plum lips, accessorized by her cascading brown locks, fuel her mystique.

She is beautifully unAmerican, full of foreign sound and culture. “Pure Heroine” feels like a conver-

sation with a mythical poet, and certainly not your average flighty teenager.

Standout track “Biting Down” captures an edgeof-your-seat moment of fear, a moment of the unknown. A harrowing chorus of Lorde’s voice encourages, “It feels better biting down.”

In this tune, a mix of drum beats and electronic sound intermingle, creating a futuristic, exhilarating experience. “White Teeth Teens” evokes the excitement and unknown of a Friday night.

Her streak as high-priestess on Billboard’s Hot 100 List is testament to a talented woman with a growing fandom.

However, when Lorde “came in like a wrecking ball” and ousted pop queen, Miley Cyrus from the number one spot, legions of “Smilers” attacked Lorde.

In response, Cyrus praised Lorde, Tweeting, “why r people so mean?? Ps your music is awesome.” Lorde glowed back, “new miley is SO on point with verse and prechorus melodies.”

Lorde may not be royal by birth, but the title reigning Queen of Pop seems fitting. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

D-Why, an up-andcoming p e r f o r m e r, rocked 123 Pleasant Street Friday with the support of an energetic audience.

When the night was still young, a few young rappers with fledgling careers and a lot to prove took the stage. Guys including Futuristic, Quence and Ponce De’ Leioun put on a show adequate enough to whip the crowd into a frenzy.

It was an evening that represented the musical spirit of the times, very well. Trap music beats abounded in all their boisterous glory.

As the rappers stalked back and forth across the stage rhyming over the beat, some female audience members were invited on stage to add a little flavor to an otherwise less-than-impressive stage presence from each of the artists.

There were no lights, no frills and no thrills with these guys. A DJ did develop a rapport with the crowd by playing some modern rap hits and a few other special surprises like an impromptu performance of ‘N Sync’s “Bye Bye Bye” by some of the aforementioned ladies.

Often the tracks were starting and stopping with harsh cuts rather than flowing from one song to the next.

As the openers’ sets ended, a hyped-up D-Why took the stage.

Ultimately, rap comes down to confidence, and D-Why has it in great supply, but he also has the chops to back it up, as well. He simply had an individuality to his music that can’t be replaced, even right down to his hand motions.

Building a broader education

The college learning experience is entirely different than high school. Professors expect more from their students, the courseloads and workloads are heavier, and time management is absolutely essential.

There are good things about the system, too.

You can choose your own schedule and classes, and you can choose to do the classwork with no one standing over you, making sure you are doing your homework.

You also have the power

to learn what you choose in college. While there are required courses for every field of study, once you get past those, you can focus on what you truly enjoy.

And here’s a secret: you can get so much more out of your experience once you realize what is important to you.

It is important to pay attention to your instructors and finish your coursework for the more tedious classes. However, the amount of effort you put into these classes (beyond the amount needed to

pass) is entirely up to you.

And the best part about being in college?

You no longer have to take everything you learn in your classes as fact.

The teaching staff at West Virginia University are talented – most are experts in their field. The professors of the classes you take teach them for a reason.

For most math and science classes, the theories and formulas are fairly solid and are not likely to change.

But for almost all the-

ory or discussion courses, there are alternative answers. Professors are meant to guide you in the right direction and give you information to help you come to your own conclusions.

If you truly want to get an education at any institution, you need to do your research and learn all there is to know about something you’re interested in. Go to the library databases and read scholarly articles about a topic.

Head to Google and look up columns about it. Talk

to other professors and get their take.

Not everything you learn in the classroom is a hard and fast rule, so never be afraid to question what your professors tell you. After all, the point of higher education is to get students to think critically and find their own truths.

Until you realize you can disagree – within reason and in a polite and constructive way – with your teachers, you’ll never have a well-rounded education.

After the first year in the dorms, the University highly encourages off-campus living due to the thousands of new freshmen who come in each year. Many love the “apartment life” and independence from University housing, but there are many things the University did for me while I was a freshman that I truly miss and will cherish.

First, there is the meal plan. Being able to have hot and readily available food at all times is a beautiful thing. If you are the kind of person who gets cravings often, then apartment life may be the choice for you, but as a busy student, I have to eat whatever I can get my hands on. In order to save money and eat efficiently, I mostly just eat some combination of bread and pasta for my meals. Trust me, grocery shopping sucks.

Being able to have a quick dinner and getting back to homework saved some precious time last year, especially during test weeks and finals. Having to stop your day to go grocery shopping, prepare a meal, and clean up the

dishes are just some of the downfalls of apartment living.

The University also did an excellent job making sure the dorms were clean, the trash was taken out and the students were satisfied. There is nothing like being able to clean your room in 10 minutes maximum. If there were any plumbing, water and electric issues in the dorm, it was extremely easy to call in a University worker and have them fix the problem in a timely manner.

Living in apartments and having to first go through the landlord, then having to remind them to fix the problem can be annoying and draining, especially for a student who has classes and homework to worry about on top of house problems.

The dorms are meant for minimal living space, but the University does a great job of creating an efficient atmosphere for cleanliness with recycling bins all across the dorms, trash bins right outside the building and custodial workers who are always quick and happy to help.

I heard it last year and I’ll admit it: the University is the best landlord.

It is also so easy to make friends freshman year in the dorms. People are all around you, and often there is at least one person with your major on your floor. There are people you can study with, and late night friends can be found in the lounges.

There were people with old tests from various

sources that could help to alleviate stress, or familiarize the student with the material and formatting.

There always seemed to be something to do in the dorms, even if there wasn’t time to participate in it.

Everyone in the dorm was active in clubs.

On game days, there were huge groups of people to walk with to the games, and big crowds in the lounges to watch on television if it was an away game.

Overall, the people who lived in the dorms are ultimately the same people who create the entire experience and utopia that is dorm life.

Some may think apartment living is the most exciting thing in the world, but it’s really just a lot more independence tied in with more bills, more ridgewv.com stress and more things to worry about. There are ex- Campus Park at the Ridge apartments include amenities such as a 24-hour fitness center, basketball court and swimming ceptions to this trend, with pool with a hot tub and barbecue grills. many apartment complexes being built on campus that mimic some of the qualities of dorms that make them comfortable to live in.

Apartment life isn’t exactly what it seems to be, with the hassle of driving to class, scheduling according to campus availability and dealing with your house and car being a target for the ever-growing drunken community that swarms our campus from Thursday to Sunday.

If I could do it again, I’d ride out the dorms as long as I could. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Standardized testing not an accurate measure of academic success david schlake columnist

Can a student be evaluated academically by one test? While one can be extraordinary in the classroom for an entire high school career, should a test have the ability to give someone an edge?

As a college student who wasn’t an exceptional test taker in high school, I would have to say no.

I believe standardized testing should be eliminated from our country’s educational system, because it evaluates every student according to one standard, and it forces teachers to prepare students for a test instead of life ahead or future classes.

It isn’t fair to the students who worked hard for four

years only to lose a college opportunity because of one test.

I don’t believe everyone should be given the same tests or be expected to perform according to the given standard. Everyone comes from different backgrounds. They shouldn’t be expected to perform to the same standard.

It could be considered common sense that children don’t all learn in the same way, but somehow they’re expected to have the same chances of success in this particular type of testing system.

In high school, they could be forced into lower level classes, and when applying for college, a poor SAT or ACT score could limit their chances of getting into their preferred school.

When I was in high school, we had to take Standards of Learning tests, or SOLs, at the end of each school year. If you didn’t pass the SOLs, you didn’t pass the class. This wasn’t very fair if you were perfect in the course all year and then failed the class because of a test, whereas the students who didn’t work hard in school would guess on all of the multiple choice questions, get lucky and pass the test as well as the class. Granted, this didn’t happen often, but still proved it to be a flawed system.

Un f o r tu nat e l y , t h e teachers faced a similar problem. If half of their class failed the SOL at the end of the year, it looked bad and they could get fired.

As a result, they would

teach specifically what they knew would be on the test, missing material students would need later on in our academic careers.

Each teacher will have more knowledge on a particular subject than other teachers; that’s what makes each teacher unique. However, if a teacher is forced to teach a class only what they need to pass an exam, how can they possibly take advantage of their knowledge? It completely takes away any time they could use to share those facts.

The major issue with standardized testing in our educational system is that even though its intention is to help students, it can really hurt them.

One example of this would be the SOLs, but so is a test that’s been around for a long time now, like

the SAT. The main purpose of the SAT is to give colleges a measuring tool to compare applicants.

If a college sees an applicant with a 4.0 GPA in high school but a terrible SAT score, they’re going to have a hard time looking over it, whereas a student with a 3.0 and an incredible SAT score might slide past the other student and be accepted instead.

So as a result, all of the hard work the first student has put into studying and working toward being accepted into this college was all for nothing.

Is this really fair? As we look at this more closely, we see many students have good grades in high school but very bad test taking skills. So shouldn’t we eliminate all of this testing?

I had fairly good grades in high school. I was always well above a 3.0. However, I’ve never been skilled at taking tests, and it hurt me when I was applying to colleges. I had a good enough GPA to get into schools, but I performed poorly on my SAT and it cost me acceptance into several schools I applied to.

Using a test to evaluate how students are doing around the country is a good idea, but it definitely shouldn’t determine if you pass or fail a class.

It should be a tool used by the government to get an idea of how students are measuring up. If they indicate certain schools are in trouble, then they should take care of each on a caseby-case basis. daperspectives@mail.wvu.eud

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you seem naturally happier to others; you have a smile for nearly everyone. You also tend to look at situations more positively than you have in the past. Your upbeat attitude permeates every action you take, which results in success! You are especially fortunate after June 2014. Emphasize your work and life directions. If you are single, your smile attracts many potential sweeties. Have fun choosing! If you are attached, your ease and willingness to be yourself adds to the dimension of your relationship.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You are a very independent sign, yet you demonstrate an ability to keep your eye on the big picture.

You interact well with a partner who

clearly has different ideas. The fact that you are looking for the optimum path to success wins over others. Tonight: Look at the bottom line.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Defer to others, and keep in mind that you can’t force them to think as you would like them to. You still can be involved, but you might not be the dominant player that you typically are. Fun opportunities will open up in response to this change. Tonight: Let the party begin.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You believe that a lot can happen and be established if you encourage a free exchange of ideas and let everything happen as it needs to. By releasing your need for control, you’ll allow more creativity. You might want to sit on a problem for now. Tonight: Get some exercise.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Your playful side emerges when dealing with others. Remember, not everyone feels as carefree as you do.

Though you might be tuned in to your feelings, it is important to examine what is going on with those around you. Tonight: Funnel your playfulness into a fun happening.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Tension seems to build at the slightest setback. You even might decide to stay home and work from there, if possible. You could be off-kilter until you hear from a loved one or a child.

Focus on your foundations and try to remain centered. Tonight: Plan a gettogether with friends.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You will want to understand what is happening with a close associate, neighbor or relative. Instead of play-

ing the guessing game, make the call.

This person simply might not want to talk; however, should you get a response, be sure not to push. Tonight: Stay open-minded.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Do not allow your more possessive side to take over. How you see a money matter might be a lot different from how someone else sees the same situation. Try not to get involved if your views are too different. You have a unique style of communicating. Tonight: Call a close friend.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Pull back and distance yourself from a trying matter. You will see life from a totally different perspective as a result. You also might feel much more together than you have in a very long time. You have no need to get involved in an argument right now.

Tonight: All smiles.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You might want to revisit a personal matter. Discussions need to be caring and not forced too much in someone else’s face. You have witnessed this problem build up, and you might want to make a suggestion. In this case, however, the less said the better. Tonight: Opt for some rest.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Zero in on your priorities quickly and efficiently. You know what is reasonable and what needs to occur in order to expand and head in a new direction. You seem so much more contained and pleased than you have in the recent past. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH

As nice as you might want to be with someone, you could find that you have a problem. Understand what is happening within your immediate circle, but also recognize the need for leadership. Are you ready to step up to the plate? Tonight: Get together with a friend.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You see and understand some of the miscommunications that are occurring. Your detachment permits this perspective. If you decide to help, you could lose this objectivity. Be caring no matter which way you decide to go. Tonight: Relax and choose a favorite pastime.

Mountain Stage delivers at CAC BenjaMin Roberts CorresPondent @dailyathenaeum

For more thirty years, West Virginia’s much admired radio show Mountain Stage has been bringing West Virginians an array of amazing musical acts. Sunday’s show, which was recorded at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre, did not disappoint.

Musicians from all over the country came out to share their music with an enthusiastic crowd.

“I like the different styles of music,” said John Blake, a Morgantown resident. “This is my third time; I love it.”

As the 801st episode was about to begin, host Larry Groce made a few jokes about football, commenting on seeing a few guys downtown deconstructing a couch, and when he heard a crying child in the audience said, “Football fan, no doubt.”

The first band to take the stage was Bombadil, a folkpop trio from North Carolina, named after a famous

character in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” books.

The band’s soothing melodic sound set a wonderful tone for the evening, with sweet harmonies, simple rhythms and a variety of touching pieces centered around the piano. They released their fourth album, “Metrics of Affection,” in July.

Playing an assortment of tunes from that album, the band displayed their versatility, not merely with their wide range of musical influences, but also by trading instruments. Between the three of them, the audience saw a ukulele, harmonica, bass, drums and piano.

Next came the John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band. The band is comprised of four incredible musicians and songwriters in their own right: John Jorgenson on guitar, mandolin and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo, guitar and vocals; Mark Fain on bass; and Jon Randall on guitar and vocals.

Song after song, the band made bluegrass look easy and beautiful songwriting

effortless.

Next on the stage were Scott Miller and Reyna Gellert. With hilarious stories and honest lyrics, the duo painted simple and thoughtful songs across the audience, pulling the listener into an intimacy one might find only in their grandma’s kitchen.

The highlight of the show had to have been the penultimate guest, Jesse Winchester, marking his eighth appearance on the show. With a guitar, a stool and a bottle of water, Winchester gave a master class in what music is really all about.

The maturity and simplicity of his lyrics were reminiscent, at times, of so many brilliant songwriters of the past, and he wove in and out of them as if each song was exuding from his guitar and his mind right in that moment.

On top of his musicianship his sense of humor danced lightly around each song.

There was a wry, tongue-incheek sense about his lyrics, which gave them a wonderful sense of familiarity.

In 2012, Winchester became ill, as he puts it, “fixing to die,” and a few friends and admiring artists made a CD recording some of their favorite Winchester songs. Elvis Costello, Jimmy Buffett, Vince Gill and Lyle Lovett were a few of those friends who recorded the album, “Quiet About It.” After hearing this set, which may be the best live set I have ever heard, I was deeply reminded what good music sounds like. It was like waking up from a manufactured dream. Good music is out there, but sometimes you have to look for it.

Finishing the evening was singer-songwriter Ashley Monroe, whose second album “Like a Rose” came out in March.

This show, recorded live, is scheduled for NPR distribution later this year, so keep your ears open.

Jason Michael Carroll rocks Schmitt’s Saloon

BY CARLY SMITH CORRESPONDENT @Dailyathenaeum

Popular country star Jason Michael Carroll sold out Schmitt’s Saloon and Davisson Brothers’ Music Hall Friday night.

The Wyatt Turner Band opened the show and Carroll lit up the stage for an unforgettable performance.

Wyatt Turner, of The Wyatt Turner Band, is from Pocahontas County, West Virginia.

He made it to the second round of tryouts for Ameri-

can Idol and also made appearances during season three of NBC’s “The Voice.”

Turner’s latest single, “You Remind Me of West Virginia,” was released to national radio in August and has gained more than 150,000 views on YouTube.

Turner performed a mix of covers and original songs during his hour-long set.

Turner performed hits like “Cruise” by Florida Georgia Line, “Staring at the Sun”

by Jason Aldean and even a mashup of “She’s My Kinda Crazy” by Brantley Gilbert

and “Bow Chicka Wow Wow”

by Mike Posner.

He concluded the show with his single, “You Remind Me of West Virginia.”

Wyatt Turner sang in a smooth, yet twangy voice and played familiar beats on his acoustic guitar. Turner’s sound is reminiscent of modern country stars Blake Shelton and Brad Paisley.

“For never hearing Wyatt Turner play before, he really impressed me,” said Layne Andrews, a senior agribusiness management and rural development student. “I

could definitely see him becoming a huge star.”

Carroll sold out Schmitt’s Saloon and the Davisson Brothers’ Music Hall before showtime Friday night. By the time Carroll came on the stage, the venue was packed with fans.

As he walked on stage, he immediately entranced the audience, stealing a West Virginia University hat from a fan and wearing it during his set.

Carroll opened with show with “This Is For The Lonely,” off his latest release,

“Numbers.”

He also performed his hits, “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead,” “Alyssa Lies” and his newest single, “Close Enough,” and he closed the show with his top 40 hit, “Livin’ Our Love Song.”

Carroll gave a high-energy performance and never stopped moving around. He was very interactive with his fans, and he even took a cell phone from the audience and recorded himself and his band playing before handing it back.

Coach Bob Huggins’ fam-

ily was in attendance, and Carroll gave them multiple shout-outs during his show.

“I thought the whole show was really good,” said Casey Berman, a senior agribusiness management and rural development student. “Wyatt Turner and Jason Michael Carroll put on a great show.”

Carroll and The Wyatt Turner Band gave a fantastic performance that will definitely bring fans back to Schmitt’s Saloon and Davisson Brothers’ Music Hall. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer Idol Gives Back Friday night in Mountainlair

BY NICOLE CURTAIN CORRESPONDEnt @DAilyathenaeum

The fourth round of Mountaineer Idol, the annual singing competition held in the Mountainlair for a grand prize of $1,000, was held Friday night in conjunction with West Virginia University’s Fall Family Weekend.

The genre for round four was country, and the night was also the annual Mountaineer Idol Gives Back event.

Throughout the night, there was a drive for stuffed animals for the WVU Children’s Hospital. Coca-Cola also sponsored a bottle and can drive through the resident halls, and for each can and bottle donated they would contribute five dollars.

Additionally, in conjunction with Idol Gives Back, there was a silent auction during the show, featuring several items and gifts for people to bid on.

The Mountainlair Ball-

rooms were packed with families, friends and students to watch the top seven contestants perform.

Hosts Paris Winfrey and Holly Hunsberger welcomed the crowd and got the evening started. There were six judges on the panel this round. The panel consisted of head judge Shirley Robinson, along with five guests: Amanda Hughart, winner of Mountaineer Idol in 2010; Christian Lopez of Christian Lopez & Joe Taxi, who won

Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

the 2012 WVU Battle of the Bands; Susan Brown-Hardesty, founder of the Mountaineer Parents Club; Marci Lane, a 2003 Hollywood finalist for American Idol and part of the team that created Mountaineer Idol; and Steven Matthews, a broadcast journalism graduate of WVU. Starting off the night of country music was Scott Link, who performed “Wanted” by Hunter Hayes. After Link, Olivia Bayer performed Carrie Underwood’s “Last Name,” and Paige Madden was third to go, singing “Anyway” by Martina McBride.

The fourth contestant to perform was Skip Smith, who sang “Colder Weather” by Zac Brown Band. Smith said he has been enjoying his time with Mountaineer Idol.

“The competition is so good now, to the point where you can watch the show and have a good time,” Smith said.

“Everybody is so good and nobody knows who’s going home.”

Following Smith was Farah Famouri, who performed “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac; Marisa Terwilliger, who performed “All for Love” by Serena Ryder; and Sadiyyah

Owens, who rocked the stage with the last performance, singing “Redneck Woman”

by Gretchen Wilson.

As the judges tallied their scores, Winfrey and Hunsberger came on stage to announce the results of Idol Gives Back. The stuffed animal drive collected more than 700 toys, and between the can and bottle drive and the silent auction, more than $1,200 will be donated to the WVU Children’s Hospital.

A representative from WVU Children’s Hospital thanked everyone for their generosity and hard work to put together the drive and make it a great success.

At the end of the night only five moved on to the next round: Paige Madden, Skip Smith, Farah Famouri, Sadiyyah Owens and Scott Link.

Lopez said he enjoyed visiting and watching the event.

“I thought everyone was really good, and they all took it seriously, which is something special,” Lopez said.

“Sadiyyah was great, and I thought Paige did awesome, but the variety was good I enjoyed it.”

Marisa Terwilliger, who was eliminated this round,

said she loved the experience of Idol and will come to watch the other rounds.

“Everyone is super cool. I love them all, and they are really talented, so they deserve to go on,” Terwilliger said.

Winfrey, judge and winner of last year’s competition, said a few performers stood out to him this round.

“I was really impressed with Skip. He did a good job of changing things up this week,” Winfrey said. “I always think Sadiyyah does a great job, and Paige is a phenomenal vocalist, so I hope that everybody does their best with the rest of the competition.”

The fifth round of Mountaineer Idol will be held in the Mountanlair Ballrooms Oct. 18, during homecoming week, at 9 p.m., and the theme will be “Motown & Broadway.” The top five will perform their selections and there will be a fundraiser during the event for Autism Speaks with the Mountaineer Maniacs.

Baylor gets revenge after offensive performance for the ages Saturday

CONTACT US 304-293-5092 ext. 2 | DAsports@mail.wvu.edu

NEVER HAD A CHANCE

kEVIN HOOKER SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

In Week 4 of the 2012 college football season, West Virginia’s prolific offense outdueled the Baylor Bears in a 70-63 shootout. Former quarterback Geno Smith threw for 656 yards and eight touchdowns in that game, both of which set school records.

Wide receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin combined for more than half of West Virginia’s 807 yards of total offense.

The victory put the 4-0 Mountaineers at No. 9 in the Associated Press’ Top 25 and got the team national media attention. Experts crowned Smith the obvious front-runner for the 2012 Heisman Trophy, and it was believed West Virginia wouldn’t only contend for the Big 12 Conference Title but could be in the national championship discussion at season’s end.

Everything was going swimmingly in Morgantown, and it appeared the only thing stopping this Mountaineer team was the team itself.

Fast forward a year later.

In Week 6 of the 2013 college football season, Baylor produced nearly 900 yards of offense in its 73-42 blowout victory of the Mountaineers. Statistically, West Virginia’s defense was the worst its ever been. Baylor’s 73 points, 468 rushing yards and 864 total yards were the most given up by a Mountaineer defense in school history.

Heading into the weekend, the Mountaineers’ defense is No. 37 nationally, giving up total yards of 309, 435, 220, 330 and 433 yards, respectively, against its first five opponents.

Embarrassed by the 2012 performance, the Bears have quickly made their 70-63 loss seem like a distant memory.

Not only did Baylor win nearly every statistical category Saturday, it did so in dominating fashion. The score was 56-14 at halftime, and most of Baylor’s starters were benched by the third quarter.

To quote the late Frank Sinatra, the best revenge is massive success. “(Baylor) is better than they were last year on all three sides of the ball,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“We didn’t put our best foot forward, and I’m not happy about it.”

Baylor put together 369 yards of total offense in the first quarter alone, which is the most yards by a college football team in one quarter in the past 10 years. They scored 28 points in the opening quarter and scored eight touchdowns on nine drives in the first half.

Not bad for a team that played just one game in the last 27 days.

“We didn’t make them punt once all game,” Holgorsen said. “Offensively, we’re not equipped to keep up at this point in time. Hopefully we get there at some point.”

WVU managed 394 yards of offense in a game that sparked yet another quarterback controversy. Clint Trickett started the game but threw for just 166 yards with a 32 percent completion rate. Paul Millard frequently replaced Trickett in the first half, before completely taking over in the second half.

Holgorsen said continuous communication errors with Trickett resulted in him being benched.

The Mountaineers (3-3, 1-2 in Big 12) have their first of two open weekends Saturday – a time that couldn’t be more appropriate. Holgorsen and staff will return to the field Oct. 19 against an undefeated Texas Tech.

“We need to regroup,” Holgorsen said. “We’ve been going hard for 10 straight weeks.

We’ll give (the players) a few days off, we’ll practice midweek, and then we’ll come back and (plan) for Texas Tech.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Baylor’s 864 yards of total offense powers No. 17 Bears over West Virginia Saturday night by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

West Virginia’s roller coaster ride of a season continued Saturday as the Mountaineers fell behind early and weren’t able to keep up with the prolific offense of the Baylor Bears, falling 73-42.

Leading up to this game, some questioned whether Baylor’s offense would be able to put up points like the 69.7 it was averaging through the first weeks of the season against Big 12 Conference teams. That question was answered with a resounding yes, as the Bears had their way with the West Virginia defense all night, putting up 864 yards of total offense.

“They’re running the ball better. Last year they hit some big plays on us.

This year they ran the ball right at us. They’re better than they were last year on all three sides of

the ball,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Baylor’s offense was firing on all cylinders from the start. The Bears gained 369 yards in the first quarter, the most yardage gained by any team in a single quarter in the last 10 years.

Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty continued what has been a strong 2013 campaign. The redshirt junior hit receiver Antwan Goodley for a 61-yard touchdown on Baylor’s third play from scrimmage, and the Bears’ offense was off to the races.

“We didn’t make them punt once all game. Offensively we’re not equipped to keep up at this point in time. Hopefully we get there at some point,” Holgorsen said.

WVU was able to pull the score even at 7-7 after Baylor punt returner Levi Norwood muffed a punt and the ball was re-

covered in the endzone by Mountaineer safety Karl Joseph.

Running back Lache Seastrunk ran wild on the West Virginia defense, carrying the ball 15 times for 180 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. His 80-yard touchdown in the first quarter was the fourth longest run in Baylor history.

“I’ve never seen a team establish the line of scrimmage like they did. We’ve been pretty proud about how we’ve been playing defense around here for the last five games, and you can’t play defense when the line of scrimmage is five yards backward every time they run the ball,” Holgorsen said.

West Virginia’s defense, which had been giving up an average of 19.6 points per game coming into the Baylor game, looked completely different Saturday.

“I knew they were going to be fresh. I knew they had tremendous speed on

the perimeter … They ran by us,” said defensive coordinator Keith Patterson.

“Obviously I didn’t have (the defense) prepared for that.

“We bust a coverage right off the get go. I don’t know how to explain it or why certain things happened … From that point on it was just like we we’re on the ropes and we were just dodging. We weren’t able to attack.”

Before Saturday’s game against West Virginia, Baylor hadn’t played a game since its 70-7 victory over Louisiana-Monroe Sept. 21.

West Virginia, on the other hand, has now played six games in a row.

“We need to regroup.

We’ve been going hard for 10 straight weeks.

That was a much fresher football team. They were faster. We need some downtime,” Holgorsen said.

Mountaineer quarterback Clint Trick-

ett appeared to still be hampered by an injury suffered during West Virginia’s 30-21 victory against Oklahoma State.

Trickett went 9-28, throwing for 161 yards with a touchdown and one interception against Baylor.

West Virginia will have a bye week to recover from its loss to Baylor.

The Mountaineers take on Texas Tech in Morgantown Oct. 19.

Baylor will look to remain undefeated Saturday when it travels to play the Kansas State Wildcats. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineer defense hits roadblock against BU by doug walp sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Following West Virginia’s first four contests this season, it appeared on the surface that its beleaguered defense from 2012 had since recovered and even regained some confidence heading forward in 2013.

But that newfound confidence was seemingly shattered along with the Mountaineers’ defense Saturday night against the truly highoctane offense of the Baylor Bears, who hung 73 points on West Virginia. “ (We) didn’t make them punt once all game,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “We’ve been pretty proud about how we’ve been playing defense around here for the last five games, but you can’t play defense when the line of scrimmage is five yards backward every single time they ran the ball.”

Before Saturday, Baylor’s critics referenced the fact the Bears’ first three opponents were so bad that most of BU’s offensive statistics were significantly inflated, as they came into the game averaging a whopping 69.7 points per contest.

Baylor actually ended up further inflating its already prolific offensive numbers after its rout of the Mountaineers in the Bears’ conference opener and first real test of the season.

Not only did the Mountaineers allow more offense than any other team in WVU’s history, Saturday’s game also marked the worst defensive performance by a team in the entire history of the Big 12, after less than a season and a half in the

Baylor quarterback Seth Russell hands the ball off to a Baylor running back in the Bears’ 73-42 victory over WVU Saturday night. conference for WVU. Baylor’s 864 total yards set new school and Big 12 records, somewhat ironically topping the Mountaineers’ 807 total yards against the Bears in Morgantown.

Almost half of that record-breaking yardage came in the first quarter, where West Virginia gave up staggering totals of 369 total yards and 28 points.

“They just ran by us. They physically whipped us,” said West Virginia defensive coordinator Keith Patterson. “I told our kids at first it was going to be fast,

but then you’ll settle in and get adjusted to the speed of it. Obviously I didn’t have them prepared for that.”

It definitely started fast, just as Patterson described, with Baylor’s first offensive score coming just 40 seconds into the game, on only the Bears’ third play from scrimmage.

“We busted a coverage right off the get-go,” Patterson said. “From that point on, it was just like we were on the ropes. I don’t know how to explain it. We weren’t able to attack; we weren’t able to do anything

honestly.”

By the time only 10 minutes had elapsed in the game, the Mountaineers found themselves staring at a 28-7 deficit. At halftime, the game was basically over at 56-14.

“It was terrible,” said redshirt sophomore linebacker Isaiah Bruce. “They played faster, stronger – they did everything better than we did.”

Bruce also acknowledged the Mountaineers’ defensive unit, which had actually shown signs of improvement from last sea-

son up until Saturday, obviously still has a long way to go to reach its ultimate goal of being considered a great defense.

Defensive tackle Shaq Rowell agreed WVU’s defense still has aspects it needs to correct heading forward but also said it’s going to be next to impossible for any defense in the Big 12 to bottle up Baylor’s prolific offense.

“I said a couple weeks ago that Baylor has the best tempo, but today, they turned it up even more,” Rowell said. “I can’t give (Baylor) enough credit. I know they’re going to win the Big 12. Nobody’s going to beat those guys.”

On one positive note, the Mountaineers do have the benefit of an upcoming bye Saturday that they can ideally use to regroup for another ranked opponent in Texas Tech Oct. 19. WVU’s fourth ranked opponent in four games in the Big 12 this year.

“It’s definitely a plus,” Bruce said. “We definitely need this week, especially after this game. We have a lot of flaws right now, and we need to correct all of them.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers end skid, defeat Northern Illinois by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The date was Sept. 13: the last time the West Virginia men’s soccer team had a victory to celebrate.

It had been 22 days since WVU found itself in the winner’s column. That streak, four games in all, ended Saturday evening at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium as the Mountaineers defeated Mid-American Conference foe Northern Illinois 4-0.

The win was West Virginia’s first within the conference, evening its record to 1-1 in the MAC. The team improved to 4-5-1 overall Saturday after scoring three goals in the first 17 minutes of the match, then finishing the night with a fourth goal in the 88th minute.

“The guys clicked tonight,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

“We had a great week of training. We haven’t played badly this year; we’ve played well. We lost a couple of games we probably didn’t deserve to lose, but results are all that matter, and tonight we got the performance going.”

Freshman midfielder Christian Diaz opened the scoring with his first career goal, just 11 minutes in the contest.

West Virginia used a designed play off a corner kick where the ball was

played to Diaz from Majed Osman. Diaz was stationed at the top of the box and banged home the offering.

Just four minutes later, for ward Andy Bevin notched his team-leading fifth goal of the season when he took a cross sent into the box off his chest, then volleying it into the back of the net.

Bevin finished with four points on the evening with his goal and added two assists. The captain now leads the Mountaineers with 16 total points – top in the MAC. Bevin also became the first Mountaineer to earn two assists along with a goal in a single game since Shadow Sebele in 2011.

Sophomore midfielder Jamie Merriam also got into the action by scoring his second goal of the 2013 season, putting WVU up 3-0.

The 3-0 lead would be taken into the half. The Mountaineers’ final goal came just before the final whistle as sophomore Ryan Cain put a cherry on top of the team’s terrific night, scoring off a breakaway and beating NIU goalkeeper Andrew Glaeser.

West Virginia snapped its four-match losing streak, a time frame that saw the Mountaineers take on two ranked opponents in St. John’s and Akron with an addition to two competitive Big

Ten schools Penn State and Michigan. The team never lost focus while dealing with the loss and took in advice from Coach LeBlanc.

“It’s been tough, but Coach (LeBlanc) always says to put the game behind us,” Diaz said. “We put in a hard week of practice, one of the hardest weeks we’ve had. It paid off.”

The Mountaineers outshot the Huskies 21-8 including an on-goal advantage of 9-3. Glaeser was very active between the posts for Northern Illinois, saving five shots.

WVU’s goalkeeper Lee Johnston returned to the starting lineup Saturday after a two-game hiatus to make three stops and earn his second shutout of the season.

“It was nice to see the guys really execute tonight,” LeBlanc said. “All the credit goes to them; they were fantastic on the evening. I think this team still believes.”

Northern Illinois fell to 3-7 with the loss. Saturday was the Huskies’ league opener.

West Virginia quickly returns to the pitch to close out its five-match homestead at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium Tuesday when the team welcomes Stony Brook in a nonconference affair. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. doyle maurer/the daily athenaeum

WOMEN’S SOCCER

WVU beats Texas, remains undefeated in conference play by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 10 West Virginia women’s soccer team (9-2-2, 3-0) remains unbeaten in the Big 12 Conference after they defeated Texas (8-42, 2-1) 2-1 in front of the fifth-largest crowd in Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium history Friday night.

“This is huge win because that Texas team is a great team. They’re better than they were last year,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “ They’re great athletes and are very organized. For us to pull it together and come out with a big victory is huge.

You’re competing for a Big 12 championship every game and every point matters. This team is very resilient.”

1,553 fans came out to watch the Mountaineers’ victory over the Longhorns.

“What a crowd tonight.

Wow. Thank you, fans.

You were great,” Izzo-

Brown said.

The Mountaineers are now 3-0 in the Big 12 with an overall record of (9-22), and Izzo-Brown said she couldn’t be happier.

“It’s unbelievable the resiliency of this team.

We’re taken jerseys on our backs. Not having Caroline, Kara and Connelly ...I think the girls have really grabbed up those jerseys and really played up to it, and it’s just a young team and top that off with the schedule we’ve had,” she said.

Texas Tech and WVU remain the only unbeaten teams in conference play.

Senior forward Frances Silva scored two goals to give the Mountaineers the victory over the Longhorns.

Silva scored her first goal in the 15th minute off a left cross from freshman midfielder Ashley Lawrence, beat her defender and launched the ball over goalkeeper Abby Smith’s head from nearly 10 yards out.

Silva now shows a

team-best eight goals this season, giving her a conference and team-best 26 points (eight goals, 10 assists). Silva’s 31 career goals ties her with Laura Kane (2001-04) for sixth place in the record book, while her 81 career points are good enough for seventh place.

Junior forward Kate Schwindel assisted on Silva’s second goal 31 seconds into the second half, pushing the junior’s point total to 20 so far this season.

“Schwindel did an amazing job. I actually made my run a little early but was able to back out and come back in. It was just outside the reach of the goalie, so a wide open shot. It was a difficult pass for her, I had the easy shot,” Silva said.

Th e Mou nt a i n e e rs placed seven shots on goal but were unable to finish on five shots. IzzoBrown said her team’s needs to finish better on open shots, but was quick to give the Longhorn goal-

keeper a lot of credit.

“UT’s goal keeper is fabulous. She represented the USA in the under-20 World Cup,” she said. “We were able to move her around a bit and create some chances, but at the end of the day we need to finish.”

Texas’s lone goal came in the 49th minute off a free kick. Midfielder Gabby Zarnegar sent a cross to the far post allowing midfielder Lindsey Meyer to place a header past goalkeeper Sara Keane.

The Mountaineers didn’t play a Sunday game for the first time this season, giving them much needed rest.

“That travel last weekend was tough. I mean we didn’t recover until at least Wednesday. Having Sunday off is going to be huge for us. And we’ll get ready to go back at it next weekend on Friday and Sunday again,” IzzoBrown said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

cross country

West Virginia finishes No. 8 at Paul Short Run competition by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In its second trip to Lehigh University, the No. 29 West Virginia University cross country team finished No. 8 out of 47

teams in Bethlehem, Pa., Saturday.

The Mountaineers were led by seniors Sarah Martinelli and Allison Lasnicki who finished No. 19 (20:55) and No. 25 (21:04), respectively. Martinelli’s time of 20:55 was the best perfor-

mance by a WVU runner this season.

Head coach Sean Cleary said he was pleased with the effort by his team but voiced concerns about the condition of the course.

“This was an interesting race to say the least,” Cleary said. “While we came here expecting a different result, I am pleased with the effort that we demonstrated. These conditions

were brutal.”

Despite the difficult condition of the course, Lasnicki and freshman Jillian Forsey (21:25) both ran career bests, while Martinelli set a new personal record.

Saturday’s race offered some of the best competition the Mountaineers have seen this season. Five schools, including WVU, finished the day in the top 10. No. 6 Georgetown won

the event with a team score of 112, while No. 12 Villanova finished third with 168 points.

The Paul Short Run served as the tune-up race for the Mountaineers, as Penn State will hold a National/Pre-National race on its White & Blue Golf Course in State College, Pa., Oct. 19.

“I am proud of how hard we ran out there,” Cleary

said. “I feel that we will come out of this with a much clearer vision as to what we need to accomplish in our preparation and race execution.”

Penn State’s National/ Pre-National race will be the last event in which the Mountaineers will compete before the Big 12 Championships Nov. 2. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Spurrier unsure if Clowney will play Saturday COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Jadeveon Clowney has people talking again – and for a reason no one expected when his final season kicked off six weeks ago.

The South Carolina AllAmerican pulled himself from the lineup Saturday night a short time before the Gamecocks’ 35-28 victory Saturday night, saying pain from strained muscles around his ribs was too much to bear.

It’s the latest in a season of illness, injuries and ineffectiveness for the 6-foot6, 274 pound Clowney, who figured to dominate the game like few others in college football. Instead, Clowney has spent more time explaining why he hasn’t popped off more helmets as he did in his ESPYwinning hit of Michigan’s Vincent Smith at the Outback Bowl last New Year’s that was practically shown on a non-stop highlight reel this past offseason.

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier was unsure if Clowney would be ready to go against Arkansas (33, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) next Saturday.

Spurrier said his frustration came more from the way he learned his star defender would be out rather than him missing the game.

“Usually, the doctor or the trainer comes and tells you a guy will be out,” he said. “That did not happen last night.”

“On the other side,’”

Spurrier continued, “if a player’s in pain, I don’t want him to play, none of us do.”

When asked about Clowney’s commitment to the Gamecocks, Spurrier replied, “You’ll have to ask him that.”

Spurrier’s kept Clowney on a short leash with the media since early August, letting him speak only after games. Spurrier said that would change this week to give Clowney a chance to explain his injury.

West Virginia bounces back, defeats Texas Tech by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia volleyball team responded from the loss against TCU Wednesday night by rallying to defeat Texas Tech 3-1 (24-26, 25-20, 25-19, 25-19) in Lubbock, Texas, Saturday afternoon.

WVU’s win against Texas Tech is the first Big 12 Conference road win in volleyball history.

The Mountaineers now hold a 2-1 conference record, with their overall record now at 15-2. The loss keeps the Red Raiders winless in the conference at 0-3 and 7-11 for the season.

“We have developed a short-term memory on this team. We did a really good job of focusing on the good things and were really in control,” said head coach Jill Kramer.

“We fought our way back and stayed aggressive the

entire match.”

S a t u r d a y ’s match marked the official return of freshman outside hitter Jordan Anderson. Anderson played in reserved minutes against the Horned Frogs, but was in the starting lineup against the Red Raiders and came out firing. Anderson capped off her comeback by leading all players in the match with 18 kills and 11 digs, which marks the freshman’s seventh double-double of the season.

“I could tell Jordan was in a different place this game. She seemed much more comfortable out there than last match,” Kramer said.

Sophomore outside hitters Hannah Sackett and Nikki Attea recorded 15 and 11 kills, respectively, while sophomore setter Brittany Sample got back on track after the loss by posting 44 assists and 19 digs. Sample’s perfor-

mance marked her fourth double-double of the season.

Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s started the match slow and were held to a .158 hitting percentage in the opening set while Texas Tech started the match with 15 kills and hit at a .220 attack percentage.

After some adjustments from Kramer, WVU rebounded in the second set to the sound of Sackett’s six kills. With additional help from Sample, the Mountaineers would go on to take the set 25-20.

“They were playing us to defend the middle, which led to Evyn (McCoy) and Caleah (Wells) getting fewer kills, but our outsiders all hit over .250,” Kramer said. “The help on the outside makes us harder to defend now.

We are a lot stronger this year.”

Anderson would take over the third set by racking up seven kills while

hitting at .545 hitting percentage; the Red Raiders would manage to hit .081 as a team.

In what would be the final set of the match, Anderson would chip in five more kills and clinch the match 25-19.

Kramer and her squad won’t be able to enjoy the win for very long and have already begun preparations for Wednesday’s match against Baylor. “ We a re m ov i n g quickly, and if you are in good shape, you will be able to recover quickly.

We’ll get back in the gym Sunday and have two good days to prepare for Baylor,” Kramer said.

Wednesday’s match against the Bears in the WVU Coliseum has been designated “Dig Pink” night. All fans in attendance are encouraged to wear pink for breast cancer awareness. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers come away with victories at Akron Invite by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s tennis team completed their second tournament of the season this past weekend at the Akron Invite hosted by the University of Akron.

The Mountaineers came away with victories on all three days of the tournament.

Head coach Miha Lisac said he continues to like the progress his team is making.

“We did a little bit better than we did at the USAFA Tournament,” Lisac said.

“We continue to work and do the right things.”

The first day of the tournament was filled with single match wins for WVU.

Freshman Kaja Mrgole tallied up her third win of the fall beating Akron’s Madison Cohen 6-2, 6-0 in the No. 4 position.

Freshman Oana Manole defeated Akron’s Karolina Maksimava, 6-4, 6-4 in the No. 5 slot.

Junior Ikttesh Chahal was victorious against the Zips’ Martina Zerbola.

Chahal was up 3-0 lead in the first set before Zerbola went down with an injury, leaving her unable to finish the match.

Doubles play did not treat the Mountaineers as well. Sophomore Hailey Barrett and Chahal dropped their doubles match to Cornell. The freshmen duo of Mrgole and Manole also lost to Cornell in doubles.

At the conclusion of

the first day’s play, Lisac was satisfied with how the players performed.

“We are doing a better job of being more focused and with the basics, such as footwork,” he said.

Day 2 of the tournament saw a win in both singles and doubles play for the Mountaineers.

“We continued to show some good things,” Lisac said.

On Sunday, the doubles team of Mrgole and Manole rebounded and defeated Akron’s Caroline Harpaintner and Madison Cohen, 8-4. The duo earned their first win together. However, Barrett and Chahal dropped their second match of the tournament to the Zips’ Olga Shkundina and Ksenia Berestetska, 8-5.

WVU faced off against Ohio State in the afternoon singles play. In the No. 1 slot, Barrett played the Buckeyes’ Gaby DeSantis to a tiebreak in the first set, but was unable to pull out the win, dropping the set 6-5 (6). She then stumbled in the second set, 6-1.

In the No. 2 position, Chahal could not earn a victory as she was bested in straight sets, 6-2, 6-5 (5).

Sophomore Vivian Tsui was unable to rebound from Friday’s loss, going down in straight sets as well, 6-2, 6-4.

The Mountaineers’ singles victory on Day 2 came from Mrgole in the No. 4 match winning in straight sets, 6-5 (4), 6-0.

The Mountaineers came into the final day of the tournament with high

How to donate clothing to charity Donating clothing and linens to charity frees up space in a home and provides items to those in need. Thrift stores that sell low-priced merchandise benefit from donations, which they can either sell or give to those in need.

Rather than tossing clothing in the garbage, such items can be donated and still prove useful for others. But before donating clothing, prospective donors should take measures to ensure the items are worthy of being donated and in the best possible condition.

Start by sorting through excess or unused items in your closets and drawers, setting aside clothing that is no longer worn or doesn’t fit. Children’s clothing is often a popular donation because children grow out of clothing so quickly.

Once there is a finished pile, further investigate the clothing. There is little point donating items that may be relegated to the trash and waste workers’ time.

Wash clothing and linens in a fragrance-free detergent to avoid allergy or sensitivity problems for those on the receiving end of donations. Many charities will wash donated clothing to sanitize them, but providing freshly washed clothes is a courtesy, especially when donating baby clothes that may go directly to mothers in need.

Denim jeans and shorts are highly desirable items because denim material tends to be durable and can stand up to repeated wear and washing. Business suits are another type of clothing that can be put to good use after donation.

Suits can be worn on interviews for new jobs.

Double check all pockets and the inside of purses prior to donating to ensure that all personal effects have been removed.

Look for an organization that seems reputable and try to research that organization before making any donations. To make things even more convenient for potential donors, some charities have taken to scheduling curbside pickup of donated goods.

hopes. WVU ended up recording three wins in singles play over Cornell.

The day began with a No. 1 doubles loss by Barrett and Chahal to the Buckeyes’ Gaby DeSantis and Sandy Niehaus, 8-4. This luck continued as the No. 2 doubles match, Mrgole and Manole fell to OSU’s Miho Kowase and Grainne O’Neill, 8-5.

Barrett earned her first singles victory of the tournament against Cornell’s Alex D’Ascenzoa, winning in straight sets, 6-2, 6-1.

Barrett is now 3-4 in singles this season.

Both Mrgole and Manole rebounded from the morning’s doubles loss to record two more singles victories for WVU. Mrgole recorded her team-high fifth singles vic-

tory, defeating Cornell’s Laila Judeh is straight sets, 6-3, 6-4. Manole moved to 3-4 on the fall season with a 6-4, 6-3, victory over Lauren Frazier.

The Mountaineers will travel to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional in Charlottesville, Va., Oct. 18-21. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
