WVU alters family planning services By Summer Ratcliff City Editor @SummerRatcliff

For years, WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health has offered family planning services to the students of West Virginia University. Now, because of changes mandated by the Affordable Care Act as well as a restructuring of WVU Student Health, some female students may no longer be eligible to enter the federally funded Family Planning Program. The Family Planning

Program through WELLWVU offers female students routine annual gynecological exams, explanation sessions for various contraceptive methods, and a year’s supply of a contraception selected by the patient for a total cost of $55. With federally mandated changes to health insurance coverage via the Affordable Care Act quickly approaching, WELLWVU is taking precautionary measures to ensure only eligible female students eligible are accepted into the Family Planning Program.

“Under the Affordable Care Act, most students will have insurance through their parents because they can be covered until they are 26, unless they are married,” said Dr. Jan Palmer, director of Student Health, WELLWVU. “Therefore in that case, students would have coverage for the services that student health would typically offer.” Palmer explained female students who have already enrolled in the Family Planning Program at WVU would continue to be accepted. Additionally,

What if you could purchase a pair of headphones you’ve saved for and simultaneously give back 10 percent of your purchase to your favorite charity or cause? Matt Strauss, a senior finance student at West Virginia University, is currently in the process of creating a mobile application that will allow you to do just that. WeeVu, What Matters To You, is a free app that allows the customer to buy from any business while also giving back to the community. “WeeVu has two parts. I am the business side, and my sister, Stephanie, is the organization side,” Strauss said. “I will get all of the businesses on board, and my sister will get all nonprofits and organizations on board.” Strauss will bring businesses from every industry to become a part of the app program, including restaurants, clothing stores, and automobile dealers. Consumers will then have the opportunity to donate a percentage back to a charity or organization they care about. “You will take a picture of your receipt and type in the subtotal and tax amount,” he said. “Then the app will give you the option to donate a percentage of that total back to a

funding assistance covering it, the student’s insurance will cover the costs,” he said. “We don’t want it to come across (as) that we are cutting services. We are changing the services but not cutting them as of right now.” The new system for the Family Planning Program will be fully functioning by the time Student Health moves into the new CPASS building in fall 2014. To schedule a family planning appointment with Student Health, call

cause of your choice.” To get organizations and nonprofits on board with the idea, Strauss said he and his sister will be campaigning at local churches and temples by showing consumers they can potentially give back through an iPhone or Anroid application. “Businesses will be attracted to this application because it will bring in new customers to their stores and it will improve their image,” Strauss said. Strauss said he came up with the app idea six months ago, when he was coaching a boy’s soccer team. “I wanted to fundraise for the soccer team that I was coaching, but then I realized I could impact the whole world a lot more and especially the University,” he said. Another aspect of the app Strauss said he hopes to implement is the ability for users to donate back to their universities, including West Virginia University. “A lot of current students and alumni would like to give back to WVU but they can’t afford to or don’t have the time, so this will be a really simple way to do it,” he said. Strauss said after conducting research, it is projected 95 percent of all Americans will be using smartphones in five years. He also said he found 52

The services will continue to be available even to students who have insurance. For patients with insurance coverage, the services will be covered through the patient’s insurance like how any typical doctor visit would be covered. “We will continue to offer the same services to all female students, however, instead of federal

enrollees will also be accepted into the program on the conditions of a lack of insurance coverage or low income levels. “Students who are in the program right now can continue to be in it; however, in preparation for the new procedures, we now ask them about their insurance,” Palmer said. “New patients are also still accepted without insurance or with low income.” All students who desire to enroll in the program are asked if they have insurance coverage, and all new enrollees are also asked to

WVU Homecoming on-campus polling locations cut to two BY Sam Bosserman Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum

Due to parliamentary issues, the homecoming elections code passed by the West Virginia University Student Government Association will not come into effect as originally intended for this year. The homecoming election code itself contains a clause, which states the code and any changes may only go into effect 15 days after its passage. Since the elections start today,

the Oct. 2 date of passage means implementing the code this year would have violated the clause. Ultimately, a decision was reached to delay the implementation of the code until next year in an effort to stay consistent and set an appropriate precedent. Because the approved homecoming elections code will not go into effect this year, the number of polling locations has been reduced from three to two. If the elections code had gone into effect, there

would have been a minimum of three separate polling locations on each voting day. The locations specified in the new code are the Mountainlair, the Student Recreational Center and the Health Sciences Center. Under the negotiated compromise between the University’s Student Organization Services and the SGA, there are now only two polling locations, with the Health Sciences Center being removed from the list of locations. According to SGA Vice

President Benjamin Seebaugh, the compromise was a pragmatic deal that represents the best result of a less-than-ideal situation. “When it comes down to it, this is a staffing issue, a cost issue, and I think we’ve been very fortunate to have Student Orgs work with us to reach this compromise,” Seebaugh said. “I’ve been told that next year Student Orgs will go forward with the elections code as written with all three polling places.” Seebaugh also said the compromise truly does re-

flect the interests of both the SGA and Student Orgs, which originally suggested the idea of having just one polling location at the Mountainlair. “(Student Orgs) weren’t able to give us everything we wanted in the elections code, but they were able to compromise with us and increase the polling places from one to two,” Seebaugh said. Ron Justice, director of Student Organization Services, endorsed Seebaugh’s statements, and said the compromise was the re-

WVU to lease Woodburn Elementary space by jacob bojesson staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Morgantown City Council voted to approve West Virginia University’s request to lease part of the former Woodburn Elementary School during its meeting Tuesday. WVU will lease 7,665 square feet of the property for an annual fee of $24,000 during the next three years. The building is meant to be used by the College of

Creative Arts School of Art & Design and the Ceramics Department. “WVU is making a real steal on the rentals,” said city councilor Mike Fike. “In the contract, I can see where they are providing tenants’ work, and they will be making some permanent improvements to the building.” Woodburn Elementary School closed in April after more than 100 years of service. The city bought the

4-acre property from the Board of Education for $490,000, and parts of it are currently used by the Mountaineer Boys & Girls Club. “That this will not become a financial burden upon the city is of utmost credence of my thinking,” said city councilor Wes Nugent. “Having people in the building, having it be used, I think for the short term is appropriate. It’s to keep the city whole.” The proposal passed in a

vote 5-2. City councilor Bill Kawecki voted against the proposal, stating the rate is below market value. “This particular contract troubles me, and the reason for that is that I simply don’t think they are paying enough,” Kawecki said. “It’s not like we’re dealing with charity, and I understand that when WVU comes into a contract, they come into win. I’ve seen them negotiate in the past, and they’ve

done quite well. They solve their problems, but it seems to me that the city doesn’t always end up being a factor in the negotiation.” The Mountaineer Boys & Girls Club is already leasing part of the building, and they were approved to continue their lease for the next three years at the meeting. The city cannot discriminate against anyone applying to lease the building, hence WVU will be charged the same rate per square foot as the Boys &

Girls Club. “It is actually state law that we cannot discriminate between tenants within a building,” said Jeff Mikorski, assistant city manager. “A lot of people wanted us to provide the space to the Boys & Girls Club for free, but we needed to get rental costs to maintain the property.” For more information on Morgantown city council, visit http://www.morgantownwv.gov/. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Ex-San Diego mayor pleads guilty to 3 crimes

Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, left, stands with counsel in court and takes an oath before he pleads guilty on state charges of felony false imprisonment Tuesday in San Diego. SAN DIEGO (AP) — Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, driven from office by sexual harassment allegations, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a felony for putting a woman in a headlock and to less serious charges for kissing another woman against her will and grabbing the buttocks of a third. The pleas came less than two months after the 10term congressman defiantly said he was the victim of a lynch mob and insisted he would be vindicated of the sexual harassment claims by at least 17 women if due process was allowed to run its course. His accusers included a retired navy admiral, a university dean and great grandmother. Filner said little on Tuesday beyond “guilty” when a judge read the charges against him – one count of felony false imprisonment and two counts of misdemeanor battery. Under a plea deal, the

state attorney general’s office will recommend Filner be sentenced to three months of home confinement and three years of probation. The maximum possible sentence for a false imprisonment count is three years in prison and one year for each count of battery. Filner restrained a woman against her will at a fundraiser on March 6, applying additional force after she resisted, according to the plea agreement. Filner put her in a headlock, his attorney, Jerry Coughlan, told reporters. He also kissed a woman without permission at a “Meet the Mayor” event on April 6 and groped another victim at a May 25 rally to clean up Fiesta Island in Mission Bay. None of the victims were identified. Filner, 71, did not comment after the hearing but his attorney said the former mayor “profusely apologizes” for his behavior.

“I think he wants to redeem his original legacy, which was a wonderful one, and put this behind him,” Coughlan said. “He’s been jogging, he’s been getting therapy, talking to friends, trying to come to terms with how to deal with these kinds of problems. It’s a full-time job.” Filner resigned Aug. 30, succumbing to intense pressure after the parade of women accused him of sexual harassment. He had held the office for less than nine months of a four-year term and was San Diego’s first Democratic mayor in 20 years. The San Diego County Sheriff ’s Department opened a hotline for complaints about Filner in July and said it would deliver findings to the attorney general’s office for possible prosecution. The state attorney general’s office later confirmed that it launched a criminal investigation “This conduct was not

One such student, Katie Demyan, said she contacted Student Health several weeks ago to schedule a gynecologist appointment and was told Student Health would need to refer her to an outside women’s health system, and her insurance would have to be billed for the services provided. Additionally, Demyan said there were no appointments available at the time so she was placed on a waiting list. “I called (Student

only criminal, it was also an extreme abuse of power,” California Attorney General Kamala Harris said. “This prosecution is about consequence and accountability. No one is above the law.” Sheriff Bill Gore said the hotline received more than 200 calls and investigators interviewed nearly 90 people. Filner’s attorney said prosecutors were eager to strike a deal before a grand jury began hearing testimony about Filner’s behavior. The grand jury probe will no longer go forward. The criminal charges do not involve Filner’s former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, who was the first to go public with sexual harassment allegations in July. She has filed a lawsuit against the mayor and the city, claiming her ex-boss asked her to work without panties, demanded kisses, told her he wanted to see her naked and dragged her in a head-

lock while whispering in her ear. In exchange for Filner’s resignation, the city agreed to pay his legal fees in a joint defense of the McCormack Jackson lawsuit, and to cover any settlement costs assessed against the mayor, except punitive damages. The city did not represent him in the criminal case. Gloria Allred, an attorney for McCormack Jackson, applauded the outcome of the criminal case and the women who came forward to share their stories with investigators. “It is long overdue for him to be accountable in both the civil and criminal justice system and today is an important step forward in bringing Bob Filner to justice,” she said. As a convicted felon, Filner forfeits his right to vote. In addition, his pension will not accrue from the time of the first offense in March, Coughlan said. Mike Aguirre, a former

San Diego city attorney who is running in a Nov. 19 special election to replace Filner, said the felony plea marked an astonishing fall for the former mayor. “As a lawyer, when I see someone plead guilty to a felony, that is an indelible mark. That is a scarlet letter that will always be emblazoned on his chest. He will never be able to erase it,” Aguirre said. Filner spent two months in a Mississippi jail for inciting a riot when he joined the Freedom Riders in 1961 to campaign against segregation. He often cited that experience during his long political career that included stints on the San Diego school board and City Council and in Congress. He became a political pariah before stepping down. All nine City Council members and the Democratic National Committee called upon Filner to resign. A recall effort also was launched as allegations surfaced.

Health) back a week later to see if any appointments had become available and also asked about getting birth control,” Demyan said. “They said they didn’t do that anymore and hadn’t done it for the past two months.” Demyan said she became confused because WEL LWV U ’s me dical website still has the family planning services listed as an option available to all students. “There is nothing on their website about having to have insurance or my insurance being billed,” Demyan said. Any student who is denied family planning services at Student Health can receive similar services at the Monongalia County Health Department. The Health Department’s family planning is a government program pro-

vided by state and federal funding. These services are provided to males and females who wish to delay or prevent a pregnancy. “Our program is based on income and family size. Then if they qualify they can receive all benefits that we offer,” said Cindy Graham, program manager for Public Health Nursing at the Monongalia County Health Department. “In our family planning program, we offer all methods of birth control, pregnancy testing and STD screenings.” The Health Department has no generalized fees for family planning services, so charges are solely based on income. Because of this, most students do not need to pay for the services due to their low income. Graham explained although the family planning offered is given at a discount

based on income to those without insurance, anyone in need of the services on a confidential basis can also be granted that privilege. “If a student has insurance through their parents or if someone is maybe in an abusive relationship, they can still receive confidential services if they qualify based on income,” Graham said. In addition to family planning services, breast and cervical cancer screenings, pap smears and breast exams may also be free to students, depending on their income levels. To schedule an appointment for family planning at the Monongalia County Health Department, call 304-598-5105.

process of development, and the launch date is set for Jan. 3. There will be a fundraiser at WVU in March 2014, in which Strauss will announce the Morgantown companies and nonprofits that are on board with the app.

Currently, Strauss is looking for startup funds to help transition into the industry smoothly. To donate, visit http:// dubvee.com/view/20/ weevu-what-matters-toyou.

while she is disappointed, she also appreciated the work SGA had done in reaching the compromise. “A large number of students from engineering and health sciences are not able to be represented where the current vot-

ing locations are,” Kinney said. “However, I’m grateful that SGA has allowed for the opportunity to have two polling places instead of just one.” Homecoming Elections will run today through Friday from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. at

Altered Ego hosts fashion show to benefit Betty Puskar Cancer Center

BY MITCHELL GLAZIER CORRESPONDENT @DAILYATHENAEUM

Altered Ego Boutique of Morgantown hosted a fashion show to benefit breast cancer awareness and research Saturday night. Aptly titled “The Pink Circus,” the event was hosted at RockTop Bar & Grill. With local celebrity guests, live music and plenty of hors d’ oeuvres to go around, the venue was abuzz with excitement for the show. All proceeds from the event were donated to the Betty Puskar Cancer Center. DJ Dylan Lopez and DJ Playboy set an exciting tone for the evening, playing the hits of today’s chart-toppers. Unlike many expres-

sionless, grim models that seem to grace runways, Altered Ego’s pink-hued fashions were modeled by women filled with sass and theatrics. Each look beckoned applause and catcalling from the audience, providing quality entertainment for a cause that, for many, hits close to home. “I had a fabulous time,” said Felicia Raines, a West Virginia University junior fashion marketing student. “My grandmother had breast cancer, so being here is like fighting back.” Models were cast several weeks ago through an open call by Altered Ego. Guest celebrity models included Miss West Virginia 2013 Miranda Harrison and

MTV Buckwild’s Cara Parrish and Ashley Whitt. Also in attendance Saturday evening was Betty Puskar, who founded the first breast cancer institute in West Virginia in 1985, which was named in her honor after she successfully battled stage two breast cancer. According to U.S. News & World Report, the Betty Puskar Cancer Center consistently ranks as the top breast cancer research institute in West Virginia. On the Cancer Center’s website Dr. Laura Gibson, deputy director of the institute, wrote, “We hope you share our enthusiasm and passion to reduce our state’s cancer burden and

bring hope and healing to West Virginians afflicted by this disease.” Altered Ego Boutique’s owner, Christina DeAntonis, was inspired by Betty Puskar to produce the show, as Puskar herself hosted fashion shows until 2012 to benefit breast cancer research. As lighthearted and whimsical as fashion can be, the team of ladies at Altered Ego Boutique were able to produce a high-caliber fashion show to solely benefit a grounded and vital cause.

Glee honors Cory Monteith’s death with new, emotional episode Nicole Curtain A&E Writer @Dailyathenaeum

On July 13, Glee actor Cory Monteith’s life was tragically cut short by a lethal mixture of heroin and alcohol. Monteith had been struggling with drug addiction and was going to rehab shortly before his death. Thursday, Glee honored Monteith’s life with their episode “The Quarterback.”

Monteith’s character on the show, Finn Hudson, was the quarterback of McKinley High School. Through the past three years, Finn helped the members of the Glee club in many different ways and touched everyone’s heart with his kindness on the show. Monteith’s character dated Lea Michele’s character, Rachel Berry, and their character’s romance developed into a relationship outside of the show. Hudson led others, in-

cluding Noah Puckerman and his on screen brother, Kurt Hummel, to be themselves and to be honest with everyone else about who they were. Monteith’s character was the co-captain of the New Directions, the glee club, and really made an impact on the characters. Not surprisingly, in the episode, Santana Lopez struggled with showing her emotions, but it was a surprise Rachel wasn’t in the episode until almost the

end. Knowing Michele and Monteith were together for the last couple of years, it was easy to think that she might not want to be a part of the episode. When Rachel showed up in the end of the episode and saw his memorial, the emotion she felt must have been awful. To think she went back to the high school where they filmed the show and sang a song dedicated to him that they used to sing in the car

showed amazing strength. Songs such as “If I Die Young” by The Band Perry, “Fire and Rain” by James Taylor and “Make You Feel My Love” by Adele were among the six songs sung for Finn. The directors of Glee didn’t want to talk about or include any mention of the reason behind Finn’s death. If they did, it would have probably been controversial, but maybe a slight word would have been better. This kind of goodbye ep-

isode is one you watch and realize you never want to watch how the rest of the season or series because it will never be the same. The best way for Glee to honor Monteith’s passing was to sing about him. Although it happened three months ago, the pain and grieving is still real for the cast, and hopefully Finn will forever be remembered for the huge impact he made on the show as a whole. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Wednesday October 16, 2013

editorial

Universities under-reporting sex crimes This year it seems as though the reports of rape on college campuses never seem to stop. From Yale, to The Naval Academy, to Vanderbilt University, young men have been attacking young women. Despite the efforts of various anti-rape and awareness programs, these types of attacks still occur and in alarming amounts. A question that could be asked is why does rape still happen? But that’s not the biggest issue. The more pressing question should be why aren’t universities doing more to help their students? A surprising number of schools have been in hot water recently for not properly reporting cases of sexual assault or not properly disciplining the guilty party. One of the most notorious cases was at Yale. The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened an investigation of the university for a “failure to eliminate a hostile sexual environment on campus.” According to an article in The Yale Herald, 16 students and alumni filed a complaint with the OCR about several public and private scandals. It was later revealed Yale did not face any disciplinary actions for its alleged hostile sexual environment, but they were required to put new grievance procedures

into place and report all future cases to the OCR. And what came of all the investigation and policy changes? Of the six perpetrators of “nonconsensual sex” reported in 2013 at Yale, only one was suspended for one year, another was put on probation and the other received written reprimands. Five of these males will remain on campus and graduate, with no threat to their record, but all were encouraged to seek counseling. This is an atrocious way to respond to any case of rape. The procedures and disciplinary actions that come in response to reported cases of sexual assault vary from university to university. The only way to ensure all cases are investigated and the perpetrators are disciplined appropriately is for the Department of Education for enforce federal laws. It’s also up to the individual colleges to report sexual assault on the campuses. The Clery Act requires colleges and universities to report all crimes that took place on campus for the previous year. However, the University of Southern California and Occidental College both announced they under-reported cases of sexual assault. From 2007-2010, Occidental said they made no action against 19 individual sex crimes. They were even-

thefeministwire.com

Young women protest lax university response to rape. tually all reported in a Project SAFE survey, though. During 2010-11, USC said they didn’t report 13 sex crimes that were only found because of an internal review. Luckily, thanks to an increase in Clery violation allegations, internal reviews are becoming more common. Emerson College announced an internal review as a result of a potential investigation, which will look into the college withholding reports of sex crimes. Unfortunately, until the

government shutdown ends, the OCR has put all pending investigations on hold. Obviously, the issue of sexual assault on campuses won’t be resolved until colleges begin reporting their cases, regardless of the fear of turning students away as a result of inevitable negative reputations. That isn’t the only level on which change needs to take place. These campuses and all campuses need to take further steps to promote awareness and edu-

cation on their campuses. WVU has many strong programs to help women who have been sexually assaulted. And RDVIC has done a good job of beginning to tell men not to commit sexual assault instead of women changing to make themselves less susceptible to sexual assault. If you or anyone else you know is a survivor of sexual assault, you can report this issue to University Police at 304-293-COPS. The Carruth Center on the downtown campus is always available

if you need to talk to someone. You can contact them at 304-293-4431 during their business hours Monday-Friday 8:15 a.m.-4:45 p.m. The bottom line is sexual assault still happens, and in 2013 in America, the number of cases should be zero. There is no reason any woman or man should be a victim. And there is no reason any perpetrator should get away with assault.

facts. Therefore, let’s set the record straight. My message is controversial, but it is not hateful. I believe God loves all people, but His love for us does not mean He approves of everything we do. God loves the sinner, but hates the sin. I believe that to the degree we truly love a person we will hate the behaviors that will destroy that person’s life. No true friend would stand by and watch his buddy destroy himself through drugs, and no truly loving Christian will apa-

thetically stand by when a person is taking the broad path of destruction that Jesus warned us about. I believe hell is real and some people will go there. But we don’t have to. God has provided a way of salvation through Jesus Christ. His message is one of salvation, not condemnation. It doesn’t matter who you are or how bad you’ve been, He will receive you if you come to Him. If you don’t, you will have no one to blame but yourself come Judgment Day.

I don’t rudely hold a sign in someone’s face that says, “You’re wrong.” But to those who gather around and ask questions, I unashamedly share the clear teaching of the Bible concerning the moral issues of our day. Note: I’m not sharing my opinion, but God’s truth. And, yes, according to the Bible, each of us, including me, have been wrong and are in need of forgiveness, mercy and salvation. I don’t demand respect. I realize I live in a world that often disdains the teach-

ing of the Bible. I understand that “tolerance” is often a one-way street: that a woman could be honored for telling me I’m wrong, and I could be labeled hateful for doing the exact same thing. But ultimately, the issue isn’t really about me. It’s about Jesus Christ and whether or not we will turn to Him in humble and trusting faith. I hope no one at WVU was turned away from Jesus because of how the DA represented me, for if they are, that would be a truly tragic loss.

op-ed commentary tom short campus ministries pastor

Few things are more painful to a follower of Jesus Christ than to be accused of being hateful. At the heart of our religion is a belief that God genuinely loves all people and that He calls us to do the same. Demonstrating unconditional love, kindness and grace – even to those who treat me with rudeness and contempt – has been one of my highest

aims ever since I began following Christ 41 years ago. Therefore, I hope you will understand my shock and outrage at the DA editorial, Free Speech, not Free Hate, which maliciously smeared me as being hateful.

Role models: become one to find one Benjamin russell columnist

Growing up, I had one older brother and one younger brother. Being the middle child, I had my older brother to look up to, and my younger brother to mentor to the best of my ability. I always looked up to my older brother, because he was truly everything I wanted to be: smart, a free thinker, artistic and creative. Being able to look up to him guided me through school all the way until he left for college before my junior year of high school. Once he left, there was a significant transition that took me about a year and a half to realize. Being a role model for my younger brother never really sunk in until it was just us in the house after school. I had been so busy looking up to my older brother I didn’t even realize how influential I had been to him all the years we were growing up. I started noticing him more; certain mannerisms, phrases and styles I had overlooked as they developed through the years. It was scary at first to

be someone who is looked up to because inherently, humans make mistakes. I make mistakes. I am by no means perfect, and if I made a big enough mistake or didn’t live up to his expectations, would I still be someone who he would want to emulate? The truth is we all need someone to emulate. Everyone, whether they have realized it or not, has emulated parents, siblings or friends. Once I realized the impending responsibility I had to my little brother, I began to change the way I acted and thought. I tried to be there as much as I could for any school, relationship and life questions he would have. I tried to incorporate him into outings with my friends and tried to make him feel comfortable and welcome in everything I did. I did all of these things for him in the hopes he would benefit from having a mentor. Little did I know I would be the one who was gaining from the relationship that developed after my brother left. Our relationship grew because I was more open to communicating with him in spite of our vastly different schedules. Once my older brother

returned from college, he was the same man I had looked up to my entire life, but there was something different about our interactions. Instead of wanting to know what he was doing throughout the day, I worried about myself. Instead of asking him what I should be doing in a certain situation, I found peace in my own decision-making ability. This led to a sense of independence I never really had before he left for college. When he left for college, it forced me out of my comfort zone and into a place where I would have to watch my steps and take responsibility for all of my actions, because I had someone else who was looking up to me. It made me a better person. We naturally want to be the best people we can be in all facets of life. This responsibility led me to become the man I actually wanted to be all along. We all have certain people who look up to us, just as we have people who we aspire to emulate. It is important to have both, because, at least in my case, one led to the other. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Respecting the implications of free speech austin rempel columnist

Recent utilizations of free speech at West Virginia University have started the gears in my mind turning. Some of the booths and speakers have railed against worldly sins and Planned Parenthood, while others have advocated for new fraternities and hot dog vendors. Some of these causes are better uses of time than others, but they all have one thing in common: they are exercising a right, namely that of free speech. In fact, I’m doing the same by voicing my opinion, and you can do the same by commenting on this, or other articles or even by submitting a guest column yourself. The idea of free speech brings me to the real point, though, which is that those who most broadly advocate for personal freedoms seem to be those most willing to deprive others of those freedoms. There are people who happily use the rights afforded to us, but do not understand why those rights should be extended to others. The right to engage in open communication was not meant as the right to spew diuretically from the mouth. It was meant to

be used in somewhat-informed, thought-out arguments. None of us are perfect, and we cannot be asked to stand behind our words forever. However, we should speak honestly, respectfully and with all the information we have at that time. What bothers me the most is these people use their right to open, free speech while actively seeking to take rights from others. They say things like, “Once we lose our rights we never get them back, so I’m going to buy a gun” while protesting marriage and employment equality, female reproductive rights and books about witchcraft and wizardry. These are often the same people who read “Fifty Shades of Grey,” or are caught in brothels. In short, we are standing in a time of hypocrisy, a time when the right to worship freely means you don’t have the right to speak against some soldier-bashing, Americahating church. Let us remember the right to do something is just as important as the right not to do something, and your morals are not the same as mine. A basic precept of good character is the ability to see the things you don’t like and well-developed self-control will stop you

from doing them. Don’t drink if you don’t like drinking, but your right to free speech wasn’t meant for you to gripe at me for having a beer. It’s a matter of respecting those around you and yourself enough to say, “I do not like pornography, but as long as it does not depict anything illegal I will not complain about pornography.” On the WVU campus, however, we have several groups. We’ve got the people who don’t like abortions. Instead of not having abortions, they must ensure justice rings from the hills and stop you from having an abortion, even if you morally have no problem with it. We’ve also got those who don’t like gay marriage, but instead of deciding not to marry homosexuals, they rail on the sins of two people loving each other. I have an agreement. You leave me alone and I’ll pretend you’re educated and well informed when you quote your holy texts or change statistics to prove your point. Remember, we all have the right to well thought-out, unhindered speech, but we don’t all have the ability to create it. So, if you can’t be smart, at least be respectful. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A&E B.B. King creates magic in CAC 6

Wednesday October 16, 2013

BY HUNTER HOMISTEK A&E WRITER @hunterhomistek

The King reigns. Legendary blues artist B.B. King performed for a packed and energetic Creative Arts Center crowd Tuesday evening, ushering in a pleasant blend of original music and standby cover tunes. King’s seven-piece band set the evening’s tone early with a 10-minute introduction in which members traded solos and showcased some classic rhythm and blues sounds. This opening brought the crowd to its feet and generated significant applause, capably preparing the moment for King’s dramatic entrance. And what an entrance it was. The 88-year-old hobbled across the stage and waved, garnering intense cheers before taking a seat in a padded chair and strapping on “Lucille,” his signature black Gibson 335. A smooth, vibrato-infused note jumped from Lucille’s fretboard, and the

crowd’s intensity rocketed even higher in admiration of the man’s talent and presence. From this first note, one thing was perfectly clear: we were witnessing a legend at work, and business was good. After a brief jam, King and his band settled into their set list, interacting with the crowd and urging cheers and movement at every turn. During his rendition of “You Are My Sunshine,” King paused and asked the crowd to “kiss somebody close.” Chuckling at the spontaneous romance he sparked, King drew out the final bars of the song, giving the audience time to stew in the love and good vibes permeating the theater. Such instances became the night’s theme, as King’s performance was defined as much by his storytelling and crowd communication as it was by his melodic lead phrases. This willingness to engage his listeners set a standard of intimacy scarcely seen from such noted musicians, and it showed that, despite changing times

and themes within the music industry, nothing beats old-fashioned personal communication, especially from the heart of a true legend. “It’s always incredible to see masters of their craft perform,” said David Ryan, West Virginia University Arts & Entertainment public relations specialist. “B.B. King is definitely the king of blues.” When critiquing King’s performance, one could mention the fact he played only four or five songs – two of which were covers. One could say he looked feeble and frail, his solos rarely linked together more than three or four notes per phrase, his band did most of the work, leaving him to fill the gaps with sporadic outbursts of blues perfection. One could say these things and be entirely accurate ... and be completely ignorant of King’s genius. King’s performance defied usual metrics of excellence. With two notes, King spoke more eloquently and told a grander

Seventh annual Zombie Walk takes over High Street

A participant in the Zombie Walk spooks spectators as he shuffles down High Street.

By Jake Jarvis A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

High Street was overrun with the undead Saturday as the seventh annual Zombie Walk returned to Morgantown. Participants in the Zombie Walk were asked to bring canned goods as their registration fee, which would be donated to organizations in Morgantown such as the Red Cross.

Unfortunately, since West Virginia University’s Fall Break fell on the night of the Zombie Walk, participation was not as high this year. “Last year we had about 400 walkers come out,” said Dennis Markel, owner of the Illusive Skull. “Fall Break’s this weekend, so that knocks out about a hundred or so participants.” With or without the University crowd, zombie fans still participated and enjoyed scaring spectators.

Kiona Barefoot, a Morgantown resident convinced her mother to participate this year. The mother-daughter duo dressed as matching Zombie twins. “This is my first year walking, but my friends always do it and so they convinced me to come,” said Kayla Hollis, a Morgantown High School senior hoping to attend WVU. Popular costumes seen in the walk included a family of undead hunters with ar-

rows through their head and chest, a neon green fantasy skull creature and a bloody Charlie Brown. “This makeup really only took me about 30 minutes,” said Maggie Mifsud, a zombie participant. Mifsud had one of the more impressive makeup applications. She was a forsaken nun, and her jaw had been ripped off, rendering her character unable to talk. There were, of course, many walkers who exhibited

expert makeup skills, but there were others who just came to have a good time. “There’s no wrong way to be a zombie,” Markel said. “Whether you want to go all out with the makeup, (or) just smear some red stuff on your face, there’s no wrong answer.” Across the board, friends were made and walkers bonded over new ways to apply makeup and their general love of the Halloween season.

Might there even be zombie love in the air? A ninja and a farmer zombie exchanged numbers, but who’s to know if their undead hearts will beat for each other. Participants were invited to Bent Willey’s after the walk for the annual Zombie Prom. All in all, the Zombie Walk was a great community event that makes Morgantown a great place to live. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Bye week much needed for WVU It may seem hard to believe, but the Mountaineers are already halfway through the 2013 regular season. WVU has battled its way to a reasonable 3-3 record but has also certainly had its share of highs and lows along the way. This rollercoaster has been especially noticeable during WVU’s last three games, where it was shutout by an unranked Maryland team, responded with a big win over then-No. 11 Oklahoma State at home and then got absolutely run over in primetime against No. 17 Baylor Oct. 5. After this extended period of peaks and valleys for the West Virginia football team, it was becoming quite clear that the Mountaineers needed a bye week to recharge, both from a mental and physical standpoint. In some ways, you can actually liken the Mountaineers’ midseason bye to the midterm Fall Break students are returning from today. For nearly two months, students have constantly been grinding away at their coursework and in the classroom. And for many of them, there comes a time when you simply hit a bit of a mid-semester wall. If you happened to catch Baylor hang a cool 73 points on WVU two weeks ago, it was pretty clear the Mountaineers had just run smack into a midseason brick wall of their own. West Virginia’s bye week, like the newly added Fall Break at WVU, allows for a brief hiatus from this constant grind. For coaches and players of the football team, it was probably even more needed, as they’ve all been working fairly relentlessly since the start of preseason camp in the beginning of August. In fact, this recent break was one of the first and only times all season many of West Virginia’s football players got a chance to get away from the practice field, film room and just football in general for a few days. Even more fortunately, the bye also happened to coincide with the aforementioned short break from classes, so many players were able to actually go home and spend a couple much-needed days with their families. This is more important than most people realize, since many tend to conveniently forget we are still dealing with young men who miss their families and get homesick from time to time just like any other college student. I think because of this, heading forward, this break will ultimately serve the Mountaineers very well. West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said yesterday he can already see his players have returned both mentally and physically refreshed. They’ll need to be. Despite the fact the toughest stretch of the Mountaineers’ 2013 schedule is likely behind them, there still won’t be any necessarily easy games. West Virginia needs to win at least three of its final six games in order to become bowl-eligible for the 12th consecutive year. Luckily, half of those games will be at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown where the Mountaineers are 3-0 this year. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 6 West Virginia beats Iowa State, TCU to move to 5-0 in Big 12 play, 11-2-2 overall by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The winning streak for the surging West Virginia women’s soccer team is at seven following two gutsy victories this weekend at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The Mountaineers defeated Iowa State 2-0 Friday night and avenged their only Big 12 loss in school history Sunday afternoon, beating TCU 3-2 in overtime. It was a weekend to remember for West Virginia frontline mates Frances Silva and Kate Schwindel. The pair combined for 11 points on the weekend, including four of the team’s five goals. The two are tied for the team and conference lead with 10 goals on the season. The Mo u nt a i n e e r s started their big weekend in less-than-stellar condi-

tions against the Cyclones. It was a wet Friday night in Morgantown and the slick playing surface certainly threw in an extra challenge for both squads. WVU scored just 14 minutes into the match when Silva struck a goal past the diving Iowa State keeper Maddie Jobe. The assist came from Schwindel off a free kick the two admittedly referred to as a blown play. After numerous big saves from Jobe, including two that stole goals from Schwindel, the junior forward found the score sheet in the 57th minute off an Iowa State turnover. “There were moments when I thought we played really well, and then there were moments where we just didn’t control the ball as well as we wanted to,” said WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “I do think the rain and the field’s slickness threw us off our game

just a little. I give the girls a lot of credit that we were able to finish those two and get the win.” WVU outshot Iowa State 15-12 including an 8-4 advantage on shots on goal. Jobe made six saves in the losing effort while Mountaineer goalkeeper Sara Keane earned her fifth shutout of 2013 and 22nd of her career. Sunday’s match had a bit of a different feel as West Virginia arrived to take on TCU. WVU was looking to wash away the memory of a 2-0 Horned Frog victory in last season’s Big 12 tournament. Again, West Virginia found the back of the net early as Silva sent a laser off the post in the eighth minute for an early Mountaineer lead. However, the lead wouldn’t hold and two schools would exchange blows for the remainder of the afternoon.

TCU tied the match at 1-1 in the 22nd minute off a rebounded shot for Lauren Sajewich right in front of the goal. The score would remain even until the 56th minute when freshman Ashley Lawrence scored her fourth goal of the season off a rebound of her own. Just eight minutes later, though, the Frogs again tied it as Patry Carrion nailed the post, allowing Michelle Prokof to finish. 90 minutes wouldn’t be enough to settle the goalfest. The overtime period lasted nearly nine minutes before Schwindel closed the weekend in style, finishing a great pass from Kelsie Maloney on a breakaway. “I think (TCU) knows how to play us,” Schwindel said. “They know what to expect and they give us some respect. They fought hard and we knew it was

going to be a battle. It was just about battling the whole time.” The numbers from the match were eye-opening in relation to the final score. West Virginia outshot TCU 35-5 and took 14 corner kicks, while TCU had none. Horned Frogs goalkeeper Vittoria Arnold made nine saves. “We just couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net today,” Izzo-Brown said. “Their two shots resulted in goals and I give them credit. That was a tough game, but I obviously feel very strongly that the best team won.” West Virginia now sits at 11-2-2 on the season and a perfect 5-0 inside the conference. The team closes their home slate Friday night against Kansas at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU evens score late, ties High Point 1-1 by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

For the second straight game, the West Virginia men’s soccer team had the upper-hand on their opponent but was unable to gain a victory. The Mountaineers played to a 1-1 draw against visiting High Point Tuesday night at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. West Virginia’s record now sits at 5-6-2 after the team failed to earn a much-needed win to help their postseason aspirations. WVU and High Point played 110 minutes, but couldn’t separate themselves for a result. The scoring nearly started just two minutes into the contest when forward Jay Williams received a ball inside the box with an open net ahead. The senior nailed a shot over the top of the bar, however, ending a promising start for WVU. High Point struck first in the 75th minute after many chances from both sides. Midfielder Chris Ramsell, who came on as a substitute, took a ball that was turned over by a slipping Mountaineer defender and smashed a ball off the crossbar and into the back of the net. Just three minutes later, the Mountaineers evened the score when defender Craig Stephens flicked a ball sent into the box by Alex Ochoa with his head past High Point goalkeeper Kody Palmer to tie the score at one. “We had a nice sense of urgency to get the goal back,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “We had a game plan that was really well executed. I always felt that the goal

was coming for us. It just happened to (come) after (High Point) scored, unfortunately.” Both teams fought desperately to earn a second goal, but neither could come up with a gamewinner as regulation time ended. The two battled for 20 more minutes in overtime, but the match ended in a draw. “We missed a lot of chances tonight,” LeBlanc said. “We make one mistake, and we get punished for it. It was another dominant performance without a win to go along with it.” The Mountaineers outshot High Point 29-7 including 9-3 on-goal attempts. Palmer made eight saves, several of which were of high difficulty. WVU keeper Lee Johnston also had a pair of saves. The draw put an end to a tough streak for West Virginia, losing five of their last seven matches. It was the second Big South opponent the team drew at home this season, with the first against Radford in September. Tuesday was a match that many believed WVU needed to win. The team, however, wasn’t terribly disappointed with the result. “At the end of the day, we didn’t lose,” Stephens said. “Coming off the loss at Hartwick, that was our goal tonight, to make sure we put our foot forward and put in an effort that we were proud of.” “I think we can walk off the pitch today and feel like we were the better team,” LeBlanc said. “You have to give High Point credit. They came in here and got a result, but I think there are a lot of positives to take out of this game, more so than

negatives.” The Mountaineers will return to action Saturday night at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium when they continue their break from the Mid-American Conference and host Georgia State at 7 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia earns first GARC victory over Nebraska by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University rifle team earned its first Great American Rifle Conference victory of the season when they defeated No.9-ranked Nebraska Sunday at the Nebraska Rifle Range in Lincoln, Neb. The WVU rifle team defeated the Huskers 4656-4650. Nebraska won smallbore, beating the Mountaineers 2315-2307, but the Mountaineers air rifle score of 2349 pushed them past Nebraska’s 2335. “It was a little bit too close today for sure,” said Mountaineer coach Jon Hammond. “We’re focused on the season as a whole. Fortunately it went our way today. I just have to trust that the team will shoot well and manage to pull it out.” Although the Mountaineers earned a team

loss in small-bore, Garrett Spurgeon was the top shooter in the gun for the match scoring 584. “Garrett’s a seasoned performer and was a First Team All-American last year,” Hammond said. “I think he was pretty satisfied with his overall performance today. It was a good improvement from last week and hopefully he can be a really strong shooter for us this year.” WVU junior Meelis Kiisk won air rifle with a 593 score and placed No. 5 in small-bore (577). He improved his scores in both air rifle and smallbore from last week’s performance. Sophomore Patrick Sunderman finished No. 3 in air rifle for the Mountaineers with a careerbest score of 589. His career-best performance came after rocky shooting in small-bore (568). “Patrick had a great match. To shoot as well as he did in air rifle after some trouble in small-

bore showed a good bit of courage. He had a really good performance and hopefully there’s a lot he can from this weekend, both in his struggles at smallbore and in his performance in air rifle,” Hammond said. Nebraska’s Denise Martin (581), Lauren Phillips (580) and Rachel Martin (578) helped the Huskers to the smallbore win, placing second through fourth. WVU senior Daniel Sojka placed No. 11 in smallbore (571) and improved from the season opener in air rifle with a 582 mark, good enough for No. 10. WVU senior Cover took No. 7 in smallbore (575) and shot 572 in air rifle. Both seniors scores in air rifle and small bore counted. Completing the Mountaineer scoring squad were Kiisk and Spurgeon, as well as Sunderman’s smallbore mark (568) and junior Maren Prediger’s air rifle score (584).

Sp u r g e o n s h o t a match-best 1174 combined score, while Phillips and Martin led the Huskers with 1162 combined scores. Mountaineer redshirt freshman Jean-Pierre Lucas tied his career-high smallbore score (571) and shot a career high (585) in air rifle. “It’s only Jean-Pierre’s second college match, but he’s going in the right direction,” Hammond said. “He’s working really hard, and he’s going to improve during the season. O verall Hammond said he was pleased with his team’s performance Sunday. “ There were good things in our performance today, and we shot a good match. We’re going to be able to shoot some better scores this year and beat some good teams.” Sunday’s win gives WVU a 9-3 all-time record against the Huskers. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers fall to Iowa State 3-0, lose back-to-back matches by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia volleyball team fell to Iowa State 3-0 (19-25, 18-25, 1825) in the Hilton Coliseum Saturday. The loss to the Cyclones marks the first time WVU has dropped consecutive matches this season. The Mountaineers have now dropped back-to-back conference matches and fell to 2-3 within the Big 12 Conference and 15-4 overall. “Iowa State is a great team; they are an NCAA Tournament team every year. We are very much improved from playing them last year, but they had a great serving performance today,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “They served really well and we didn’t do a good job of returning which resulted (in) aces. A lot of early points came from that and you can’t do that against a team of this caliber.” Iowa State was able to remain undefeated at home behind the stellar play of the senior libero Kristen Hahn. Hahn

is the two-time defending Big 12 Libero of the year and posted her 41st 20+ dig match against the Mountaineers. “Iowa State is a very solid defensive team and have one of the best libero’s in the country. She may even be a candidate for the national team,” Kramer said. Falling behind early seemed to be the theme of the night for the Mountaineers as they fell by eight to open the first set and then trailed 1-7 early in the second. The Cyclones hit .346 as a team to jump out to an early 10-4 lead which caused Kramer to call her first timeout. After the break, freshman outside hitter Jordan Anderson managed to record four kills, but her effort wouldn’t be enough as Iowa State closed out the set 25-19. Anderson finished her night with six kills and 10 digs while her fellow outside hitter sophomore Hannah Sackett led the team with 10 kills on 22 attempts. The second set opened with WVU earning the first point but Iowa State re-

sponded with its own 7-0 run. The run was spurred by the Big 12’s No. 1 server Tory Knuth, who recorded two aces during the Cyclone run. Despite a late effort from the Mountaineers to bring the match to 16-17, ISU earned eight of the final 10 points to clinch the set 25-18. In what would be the third and final set, ISU jumped out a 13-4 advantage that WVU would never be able to recover from. Despite suffering a loss over the weekend, Kramer said she is optimistic about upcoming matches against some of the best teams in the nation. “This match was served as a good benchmark for how we are playing against teams at this level,” Kramer said. “We have a great team that is ready to battle and I am perfectly comfortable with competing against any team.” The Mountaineers will return to action Wednesday to take on Robert Morris for a nonconference match in the WVU Coliseum at 6:30 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Hartwick knocks off WVU in conference match Friday by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia men’s soccer dropped a 1-0 conference match at Hartwick Friday night at Elmore Field in Oneonta, N.Y. The Mountaineers fell to 5-6-1 on the season and to 1-2 in the Mid-American Conference. West Virginia was coming off a two-game win streak after defeating Stony Brook last week at home.

Dan Fowler scored the lone goal in the 15th minute off an assist from Will Broomfield. Max Walcott completed a pass up the center to Broomfield, who found Fowler on his left. Fowler put the shot past junior Mountaineer goalkeeper Lee Johnston. It was one of just two attempts the Hawks completed all night, while the WVU offense had 14 shots-on-goal. West Virginia had plenty of time left to make a run but couldn’t get a

ball in the net to tie. In the 26th minute, Hartwick goalie Mateo Munarriz stepped out of the goal to make a play on WVU junior forward Andy Bevin, who passed to freshman midfielder Mike Desiderio. Desiderio had an open look, but the shot sailed over the net. WVU had additional opportunities in the final 10 minutes of the first half, but both shots were blocked by the Hawks’ defense. In the 38th minute, sophomore forward Ma-

Sophomore forward Jamie Merriam charges for the ball in a home match against Stony Brook earlier this season.

jed Osman was granted a free kick at the top of the 18-yard box, but the shot smacked the Hartwick wall of defense. In the 45th minute, Bevin found sophomore defender Haydon Bennett, but the halfvolley shot at the net was stopped by the Hawks. Bevin had another look in the 67th minute, but his shot bounced off the post from about 10 yards out off the pass from Osman. Bevin leads the team with six goals on the season, six assists and 18 points, but

he was unable to make his mark Friday night. Sophomore midfielder Zak Leedom also tried to get something going in the 74th minute, but his shot flew over the crossbar following a corner kick by Bevin. Osman recorded a game-high three shots and ranks No. 8 in conference with 2.50 shots per game. With the loss, West Virginia falls to 1-3 all-time against Hartwick, with the only Mountaineer win

coming in a 3-1 contest in the 2012 season. The loss continues the Mountaineers’ road woes, as the team has now fallen to 1-3 away from Morgantown. West Virginia returned home to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium to face Hight Point. An out-of-conference home match against the inconsistent 4-6-1 Panthers may be just what the Mountaineers need at this point in their season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

kyle monroe/the daily athenaeum

Freshman wide receiver Daikiel Shorts runs after a reception in the 73-42 loss to Baylor Oct. 5.

Communication improves for WVU as Texas Tech awaits to this offense. “(The communication) is doing better,” Dawson said. “We’ve done some things on our part to clear things up. It’s gotten better. We’ve switched some things up (and) that’s helped.” Trickett had issues with communication with Holgorsen and signals in past games, including the upset win over then-No. 11 Oklahoma State. Against Baylor, Trickett suffered an injury which limited his play, but he’s been able to recuperate with the added rest.

by amit batra sports editor @batra01

While the quarterback situation for Saturday against No. 16 Texas Tech remains uncertain, redshirt junior Clint Trickett improved from a communication standpoint during the bye week. Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson and head coach Dana Holgorsen have switched things up in order to make sure the injured quarterback can get accustomed

Whoever starts at the quarterback position Saturday will be able to lean on receivers who will be well-rested and ready to upset an undefeated Red Raiders team – the same Red Raiders team that was able to give West Virginia its first loss in the 2012 season. “An extra week of practice definitely helps out,” said junior quarterback Paul Millard. “Any time you can get out there and get reps, it helps out with the timing of the receivers. We’re just looking forward to playing Satur-

day and going out there and giving it our all. We look at it as a new season. We’re looking to do better this half of the season. “It’s a complete reversal of last year. We’re looking forward to playing Saturday and hopefully doing what they did to us last year.” Communication is an important part of football, and in terms of this offense and new quarterbacks and wide receivers adjusting to a new style of play, it’s essential that whoever starts at QB against the Red Raiders

will need to have a positive mindset. Through six games, each quarterback has won a game and then lost the following week. “You have to stay positive with every situation,” Millard said. “We all get along well – all three of us do. Whoever is in there at the time, we want to see that person succeed.” Redshirt sophomore wide receiver KJ Myers also said he feels communication has gotten better over the last couple weeks between the quarterback and the receiving group.

“Communication has gotten way better,” he said. “We’re getting on the same page more and more. We’re really stressing communication. All 11 have to be on the same page out there. One man not on the same page; the play is over. We did improve that.” With six games remaining in the 2013 season, communication will be a key storyline to follow between the quarterbacks, receivers and coaching staff moving forward. amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu
