STUDENT GOVERNMENT

Hutchison continues with platform Alexis Randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Student Government Association added a new executive position Wednesday at its weekly meeting.

Due to the efforts of Board of Governors member Amanda Hutchi-

son, as well as other SGA members, the association passed Resolution 2014-18, which created the new position of executive director of accessibility. The executive serving in this position will work as an advocate for students in the WVU community with visible, invisible and learning disabilities.

Hutchison said this was

“One of the reasons we brought this position up this week is because it is Disability History Week,” Hutchison said. “It is so important. I only know about this from my classes as a disabilities studies minor.

I would never have known all of the things people with disabilities have gone

through to get me where I am today.”

West Virginia was the first state to establish and recognize Disability History Week, held the third week of October each year.

INSTILLING HARD WORK

LaunchLab teaches students how to expand on ideas, profit from them

by jennifer skinner correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer—no matter where you are in the world.

That’s the passionate belief of West Virginia University’s executive director of International and Global Relations, Tom Sloane.

On Homecoming Day, Sloane was recognized as WVU’s Outstanding Alumnus, and last week, Alan and Lisa Zuccari honored him with their endowment of $25,000 in his name to the WVU Alumni Association.

Established as the Tom Sloane International Outreach Fund, the gift will expand international alumni chapters and spread recruitment across more areas around the world.

“I’ve worked all my life with Student Life, and I’ve spent my whole life with WVU,” Sloane said. “It means a lot to be honored by your alma mater.”

Sloane, a 1966 WVU alumnus, first met Alan Zuccari when they were kids and played neighborhood sports together. They simultaneously grew up in Morgantown and were later connected again when Alan Zuccari’s sons, Jason and Jared, attended WVU. Both sons were active in WVU’s Student Government Association during their time as students, and each of them helped Sloane with international outreach.

In order to meet international alumni and establish more chapters overseas, Jason and Jared Zuccari joined Sloane on some of his worldly trips, including visits to the Middle East, Japan and Thailand.

The Zuccaris’ generous endowment commends Sloane’s dedication to the fruitful relationships WVU has with its alumni, and potential future students who live across the globe.

“I think the great part of that kind of gift is we can expand our efforts that we already have overseas. We need to connect with each of them and meet together because they may not realize that there are other alumni in their countries as well as ex-patriots,” Sloane said.

All of these groups of people are able to connect in their regional communities because of the commitment of Sloane and the WVU Alumni Association.

“Everywhere we’ve gone, it’s fair to say our alumni have been very helpful in recruiting more students,” Sloane said.

He used the example of alumni in Brazil who recently set up a Facebook page for their local WVU community. Other ways WVU’s international alumni interact include having watch parties and recruiting at college fairs in their regions of the world.

“We need to reconnect them to WVU so they can participate in the University,” Sloane said. “(Their participation) is similar whether they’re in the U.S. or anywhere in the world.”

Sloane began teaching English as a second language and other English composition courses more than 35 years ago.

A frequent traveler who said he is “gone more than here,” he devotes the majority of his time to recruiting students and working with alumni chapters in China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand.

“I got to know the international alumni when they were students, and now some of them are at retirement ages,” Sloane said. “It’s like visiting old friends.”

Both current students and alumni from other countries share their cultures and values that would otherwise not be found in a completely familial University, according to Sloane.

“The younger ones bring so much diversity to the cam-

Car show comes to WVU, encourages students to think alternative fuels kendall snee staff writer @dailyathenaeum

National Alternative Fuel Vehicle Day Odyssey is a celebration and promotion of alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles.

On Wednesday, the outreach and educational event was headquartered at West Virginia University.

Three example vehicles, all powered by alternative fuel, were parked outside of the WVU National Research Center for Coal and Energy on the Evansdale campus.

Odyssey is coordinated by the National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium. With more than 152 locations within three countries, Odyssey’s mission is to educate and dismiss stereotypes about alternative fuel.

William Davis, director of NAFTC, attended the event and answered questions about the vehicles.

Davis explained that people don’t understand these new electric or natural-gas-powered vehicles, so it deters them from buying one when they look to purchase a new car.

“Over 50 percent of America’s oil is imported from the Middle East, which isn’t good,” Davis said.

“We must develop alternatives, because it’s a dangerous business we’re getting into.”

Davis further explained West Virginia is a powerhouse of resources, whether solar, wind or coal, and now with natural energy emerging, West Virginia is leading the charge for a greener America.

“I have the best job in the world,” Davis said. “I have four grandkids, and I know what I’m doing is going to make their lives better and nothing beats that. Odyssey has been recognized for their position on greener vehicles and will continue to pave the way for other companies.”

Community reaches out to support DeMaske’s bills by kendall snee staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University community has teamed up with friends and family of Jordan DeMaske, a 22-year-old student, to raise more than $13,000 to help combat DeMaske’s medical bills.

DeMaske was recently diagnosed with sarcoma cancer that metastasized into his bone marrow and lymphatic system. He was treated by Pittsburgh UPMC but was able to go home to his family in Morgantown

Monday. He will start chemotherapy treatments within nine months.

DeMaske was mere months short of graduating and will have to wait to continue his collegiate studies.

DeMaske is a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, and the brothers said they will stand behind Jordan 100 percent.

Michael Summers, a graduate student majoring in social studies, is a friend of DeMaske and brother of Sigma Nu. He has been there from the beginning and explained Jordan doesn’t want to be treated any differently.

“We’ve always been close, but this brought us closer as friends,” Summers said.

“We all went to see him and just the will power he has is amazing. He just kept telling us to calm down and stop worrying.”

DeMaske recently had two of his toes amputated after the cancer entered his bone marrow.

“He told us at the house at the beginning of September,” said Brendan Reh, a junior marketing student.

“He said it very positively, made as little a deal as possible. It was a tough couple of weeks, but he was joking

about fantasy football,” Reh said. “He was mainly concerned for his family and girlfriend. The way he sees it, no one’s going to tell him he can’t beat this.”

Reh said DeMaske was one of his first friends in Sigma Nu, and they instantly connected.

“It’s hard to see someone you care about so weak. It really hit the fan two weeks ago,” he said.

As the cancer has begun to take muscle tissue from DeMaske’s toes, the family is in hopes that no more amputations will be necessary.

“I saw Jordan last week,”

said Jake Flickinger, a senior intelligence and national security student. “He is progressing. He’s taking everything well, keeping his spirits high and handling the situation as well as anyone could be. He’s a tough kid. We wanted to come together and not only help support him and his family financially but many of us have been going to visit as often as we can.”

Flickinger explained that so many people have wanted to visit at one time that they were turned away because of the size of the hospital room. He said this

shows how many people DeMaske has impacted in his four years at WVU. DeMaske’s sister, Lauren, helps to communicate to friends and family about Jordan’s updates through her family’s GoFundMe site.

Debate Nights across nation center on Black vote, health care, economy The black vote, health care and economic issues were among the talking points that sparked clashes during debates Tuesday ahead of next month’s midterm elections. Highlights: ILLINOIS: FIGHTING FOR BLACK VOTE Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican businessman Bruce Rauner defended their records on minority hiring, public safety and gun control during a debate that focused heavily on issues affecting black voters.

Meeting for their second televised debate, Quinn said that as governor he’s hired minorities in key administration positions — including deputy governor — but said Rauner, a venture capitalist, didn’t hire AfricanAmericans at the highest levels of his firm.

Rauner said he hired minorities at his firm, as did many of the hundreds of companies in which the firm invested, though he didn’t answer when asked how many of them were in executive roles. The firsttime candidate also said Quinn’s policies have failed blacks in Illinois, noting high unemployment among African-American men.

“Gov. Quinn is taking the African-American vote for granted,” Rauner said.

LOUISIANA: OBAMA’S ROLE Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu framed Louisiana’s Senate election as a referendum on her three terms in office, not the policies of unpopular President Barack Obama, in the first TV debate featuring all three major contenders in the race.

While the Democratic incumbent defended her vote for Obama’s federal health care overhaul, she suggested it needed improvement. She distanced herself

from Obama’s energy policies and talked of her work with presidents over the years, both Republican and Democrat.

Landrieu’s main challenger, Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy, repeatedly tied Landrieu to Obama’s policies, saying a vote for her would be a vote for the president’s agenda.

GOP candidate and tea party favorite Rob Maness positioned himself as the Washington outsider. “Our future is in danger from poor leadership from career politicians,” he said ARKANSAS: HEALTH CARE TANGLE Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor and Republican Rep. Tom Cotton tangled over the impact of the federal health overhaul, with Pryor accusing Cotton of not having any solution for nearly 200,000 Arkansans receiving coverage under the federal law through the state’s “private option” Medicaid expansion if Cotton gets his wish to repeal the law.

Pryor also questioned what would happen to those benefiting from other parts of the law, such as its prohibition on denying coverage for pre-existing conditions.

“He has no answer on any of this, but he is insistent on repealing it,” Pryor said.

Cotton criticized Pryor for his vote for the overhaul and said repealing it would allow for reforming the health care system and giving states control over programs such as Medicaid. “I think we have to start over on health care reform because Obamacare is a disaster,” Cotton said.

SOUTH CAROLINA: JOB GROWTH Republican Gov. Nikki Haley touted the more than 50,000 jobs announced by her administration, while her challengers contended those numbers were not in this vehicle.”

Davis explained to the gathered audience that the Nissan takes eight hours to charge and displayed its futuristic design.

“I don’t think it looks weird,” said junior advertising student Jackson Montgomery. “I got to ride in it, and it was absolutely silent.

That electric motor is a lot lighter and a lot faster than a regular car.”

Hutchison said she sees this position as a future voice for students and will be filled by someone who will continue on all of the work she has done.

“I’m not doing this for me, I am doing this for future Mountaineers so they won’t have to go through the same things I have had to go through,” Hutchison said. “Having a permanent person working on accessibility will ensure that I can leave this University knowing that somebody is still going to be caring about this.”

This position follows up Hutchison’s recent success in gaining ADA seating within the student sections for the remodel of Milan Puskar Stadium.

Karen Laska, a freshman international studies stu-

dent and Hutchison’s intern, said she feels this position is vital to the future of accessibility at WVU. “This is an issue that is very important to me as well. I have a brother with autism, and I was so excited to work with Governor Hutchison,” Laska said.

“We have the largest number of disabled persons in a state, so I think this is a really important issue for the state’s flagship University.”

Laska expressed thoughts on the future of accessibility issues at the University.

“I think connecting students with the resources available on campus and perhaps making sure they all have the same opportunities that all students at WVU should have (is important),” she said. “Perhaps (we should be) looking into more resources

Mountaineer Idol

Contestant Elizabeth Keim loves to belt out broadway

By Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

With the fifth round of elimination of Mountaineer Idol quickly approaching, the top five contestants have been working hard on their performances. One of the competitors, Elizabeth Keim, has reached this point in the competition as a freshman.

Keim, a strategic communications student, said she is not too sure where she wants to go with her major after graduation, as she is just getting her feet wet in the program.

The encouragement to enter the competition came from one of her friends from Moundsville, W.Va. “I have a good friend, Paige Madden, and she had done Mountaineer Idol in the past,” Keim said. “She enjoyed it. We were friends from home, and I got into it from her.”

So far, Keim said her time competing in Mountaineer Idol has been rewarding for her.

“It’s so fun because you’re around a lot of people who are really great,” Keim said. “I enjoy it because my family comes down to see me every weekend to watch me perform which is great for me,

and it’s really neat to be a part of.”

Keim gets her inspiration from her love of singing.

“I guess I’ve just really always loved to sing, and it’s something that I wanted to keep with me in college,” she said. “When I sing it’s a stress reliever. Especially in college, it’s important to have an outlet, so it’s kind

of what Mountaineer Idol gives to me - an outlet to express myself.”

Before competing in Mountaineer Idol, Keim had other experiences in performing on stage and singing, something that might help her in the upcoming round.

“Broadway is actually my favorite,” Keim said.

“That’s what I actually started with when I was in musical theatre, and that is kind of what I’m trained in with my voice, so that’s definitely my first love.”

While she loves to sing showtunes, Keim said there have not been any nights that she struggled with or was not looking forward to.

“I actually haven’t had a least favorite. It’s been cool,” Keim said. “You get to go from genre to genre, which normally I wouldn’t Nick Jarvis/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM have gotten to explore, so it’s been really fun getting Elizabeth Keim sings ‘Different Drum’ at Mountaineer Idol. to challenge myself and pick songs that I wouldn’t The next round of Mountainlair Ballrooms. normally sing.

W. Va. Symphony Orchestra plays music to your ears

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, under the conduction of Maestro Grant Cooper, will perform its second concert of the 2014-15 season, entitled “Celebrating Lyricism.”

The WVSO will not only perform in Charleston, W. Va., but also in Colebank Hall at Fairmont State University in Fairmont, W.Va., and at the Blennerhassett School Auditorium in Parkersburg, W.Va. The concert program includes “Overture to the Bartered Bride,” composed by Bedrich Smetana, “Concerto for Violoncello,” composed by Byron Adams and “Symphony No/6 in B minor, Op. 74, Pathetique,” composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovosky. “‘Overture to the Bartered Bride’ begins our program, and it is a piece especially dear to me because it was the opera that I first sang on when I was just a young boy with my mother

on the stage,” Cooper said.

“The piece by Tchaikovosky is a piece I remembered playing as a young musician in my teenage years, and the much newer piece, ‘Concerto for Violoncello,’ was composed by my dear friend Bryon Adams. That being said, each piece is very dear to me in its own way. They are a part of me and make me who I am today.”

Award-winning cellist Julie Albers will perform Adams’ piece, “Concerto for Violoncello,” alongside the WVSO. Albers made her first major orchestral appearance in 1998 with the Cleveland Orchestra, and was since performed throughout North America, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. Albers’ many accomplishments include having won the Second Prize in Munich’s Internationalen Musikwettbewerbs der ARD, awarded the Wilhelm-WeichslerMusikpreis der Stadt Osnabruch and was named the first Gold Medal Laureate of

Albers has performed with the WVSO on its main series in Charleston, W.Va., as well as in Snowshoe.

“Putting together the performance piece, ‘Concerto for Violoncello,’ has been a five-year process,” Cooper said. “Albers met

Adams while in Snowshoe, and there we presented her with the idea of learning his cello concerto. Now, in 2014, we’re ready 14 years after it was written. We’re ready to perform this revised piece.”

In order to prepare for “Celebrating Lyricism,” members of the WVSO received the music three weeks prior to the perfor-

mance. Members work on these pieces on their own and are expected to have mastered them on their instrument by the start of rehearsals. There are three rehearsals scheduled prior to the performances in which members join together to practice under the conduction of Cooper.

“The musicians are al-

ways well-prepared and extremely professional,” Cooper said.

A gallery for fans of wood Bridge over troubled waters

By Chelsea Walker

It’s art graduate school.

While working on a pretty big project, two people meet. They graduate with master’s degrees in printmaking. But, before that, they fall in love.

Paul Roden and Valerie Lueth are co-artists who met under these circumstances at the University of South Dakota. They’ve been married for almost eight years and currently work together in their store, Tugboat Printshop.

“It’s a carryover from a name of a project space we had in South Dakota, and when we moved to Pittsburgh and didn’t know what to call ourselves, we liked the metaphor of a little engine chugging along,” Roden said. “At the time, we just wanted to set up shop and start making prints.”

This husband and wife wood-carving duo settled in Pittsburgh and love their decision to do so. They have a space to do what they love: make carvings.

“Throughout the years, we’ve done a little bit of everything, but our best and most natural art is making the wood cuts,” Roden said.

The idea starts out as a sketch in pencil, then pen and eventually is carved into the wood.

“We both like drawing very much, and printmaking was a way for us to pursue (our interest). It felt like it was an extension of our drawing interests,” said Roden.

It lends itself to collaboration, which is the main base of the partnership that is Tugboat, said Roden.

“We also have an interest in organic material like wood and the feeling you get while working in-

Award-winning photographer Jeff Rich is set to churn waters with his eyecatching series on display in the Creative Arts Center this week.

Rich’s work captures a variety of water issues ranging from recreation and sustainability to exploitation and abuse.

A local of Satellite Beach, Fla., Rich was surrounded by water growing up. His hometown on the Atlantic Ocean paved the way for his interest in water, marine wildlife and the environmental issues that they encompass. Targeting specific regions of the U.S., Rich uses clear and detailed photography to document the various issues surrounding each location. Every project tells a story, with a series of photos containing excerpts from Rich to provide background on a specific locale. Outside of Rich’s usual aquatic genre, the artist also attempts to represent those individuals who live near each documented area.

“They are the first to feel the effects of pollution on their homes,” Rich said.

These portraits containing unfamiliar faces represent something bigger to the photographer.

“They are usually the first to act when environmental problems arise along the river,” Rich said. “Their stewardship of the rivers is what really interests me.”

West Virginia, in particular, offers a unique perspective for Rich’s photography.

Everything is strictly hand-carved.

“We’re interested in things that last and that are made out of real materials by real people,” Roden said. “The interest is in the idea of craftsmanship and pride in one’s work (and) making something that lasts.”

Each print they carve can take from six weeks to six months to create, depending on the size - the larger the print, the more time it takes to carve.

“We put a lot of time into hand-carving, and we see that as an asset,” Roden

said. “One of the ingredients in the final image is the time we spend with something. It lends its significance or it’d be a waste of time.”

Despite these prints being very labor-intensive, the duo loves it.

“Early on we just gravitated to it, the labor side of the art-making process,” Roden said. “It’s something you need to do and excel at to make good wood cuts, and we’ve been invested in it since the beginning.

the water issues in West Virginia,” Rich said. “The coal industry and mountaintop removal have always been something I’ve been really interested in documenting.”

Rich’s “Watershed: A Survey of the French Broad River Basin” won the Critical Mass Book Award in 2010 and was published in 2012 as a monograph. While winning various awards and competitions, Rich’s work has been featured in magazines and exhibited internationally. As an assistant professor at the University of Iowa in the Art and History Department, Rich also has work published in a weekly series. His collection, “Eyes on the South,” is a feature for Oxford American Magazine.

In tonight’s lecture, Rich will focus on the evolution of the Watershed Project. He will cover the first chapter of his project, a survey of the “French Broad River,” and the second chapter on the “Tennessee Valley Authority,” discussing the ongoing effects of each on the Tennessee River.

Rich hopes to evoke a sense of concern for the state of West Virginia’s rivers by inspiring environmental activism for water issues. Rich states there are various geographic similarities among the tributaries of the French Broad River and West Virginia rivers such as the New and Gauley. Because of this, he feels West Virginians can connect to the photographs based on the amount of rivers located within the state and the activities they provide as outdoor destinations.

Rich will debut his work with a lecture at 5 p.m. in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall. Following the lecture there will be an open reception for the exhibition featuring photos from his “French Broad” and “Tennessee River” chapters at 6 p.m.

The Jeffery Rich exhibit will remain in the Laura Mesaros Gallery at the Creative Arts Center Oct. 16-Dec. 9.

Ebola virus: To fear or not to fear?

Ebola has dominated headlines on and off for months now. It has turned from a third-world problem to a global scare and world leaders are trying to figure out how to stop the spread of the virus.

Wednesday, it was revealed that a nurse flew commercially from Cleveland to Dallas the day before her symptoms appeared. This means the virus has traveled all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to a location three hours outside Morgantown.

But the question that seems to split the population is, should we be

scared or not?

While some look at it lightly, others fear for what’s to come.

Medical scientists and politicians have ensured us that we have little to worry about. The fact that Ebola still doesn’t have a cure or vaccine for it, along with the fast-paced spreading of the virus, leaves us with many questions. Whether Ebola will have a larger impact on the American society remains to be seen. But it would be ignorant of us to underestimate something that has taken thousands of lives and is yet to be beaten.

Another thing Ebola has

shown us is how a thirdworld news story can suddenly become real to us.

We hear about the wars, the terrorist groups and starvation, but it never really hits us. In the comfort of the industrial world, we have a hard time relating to what goes on in other less-fortunate cultures.

This time around, we are subject to the same fear we’ve heard others express for months.

Time will tell if the blown-up media coverage was warranted. For now, all we can do is wait and wash our hands carefully. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Defending diversity in the face of intolerance Taylor jobin columnist @dailyathenaeum

America has always been a melting pot of different cultures and creeds. Our multicultural identity has made us as diverse and tolerant as any other country in the world.

The idea of multiculturalism is, in theory, beautiful. It has been shared since at least the time of Alexander the Great and has, in no small part, played a role in making our world the safest it’s been at any point in human history. The sharing and cohabitation of cultures have brought immeasurable peace and progress to our world.

Why, then, has the audible level of critics grown in recent times? At home and abroad, decision makers are beginning to question the validity of multicultural and inclusive societies.

The conservative right has long warned, albeit in their patented paranoid stupor, of the dilution of traditional values as a result of sacrifices in the name of tolerance, whereas the liberal left has been the champion of the underrepresented, all while continually failing to stand up to injustices by minority groups or individuals.

It’s this convolution of right versus wrong and the bastardization of multiculturalism that has left me to question a philosophy that I hold as inherently good.

The question then becomes how to separate tolerance from intolerance and to know when criticism turns into bigotry.

The tightrope that lies between tolerance and intolerance has always been tricky to navigate. Slip too far into one side and you’re in a land of bigotry and hate. Fall too far to the other and you’re surrounded by a naive political correctness that can be as hard to stomach as ignorant hatred.

The golden mean then for a progressive, multicultural society is accepting indifference. The ability to cohabitate without stressing oneself out to accommodate nefarious belief systems is not a hard thing to do, in theory. However, the liberal left has become intoxicated with only criticizing the right with intolerance, while slowly sinking the ship of tolerance by allowing too many unworthy passengers on board.

A perfect example of this is how we view the turmoil in the Middle East. The right would have you believe that whole part of the world hates our freedom and deserves the almost daily drone strikes we send to them. The left would have you believe that Islam is a religion of peace, and that a few bad apples shouldn’t spoil the bunch.

So where is the golden mean between these two western views? The answer lies in our mutual understanding of the cultural

commons.wikimedia.org

norms of Islam.

A recent Pew Research Poll, which can be viewed at http://pewfor um. org/2013/04/30/the-worldsmuslims-religion-politicssociety-beliefs-about-sharia, found that in 17 of 23 Islamic countries, at least half of their citizens believe Sharia law was the word of God. (Sharia law is the guidelines of daily life in the Muslim faith derived from the Quran.) In the Middle East and North Africa, that number rose to between 66 percent and 81 percent, with the exception of Lebanon.

Sharia law has some insane practices. Things like stoning, exile, amputation or execution are all acceptable punishments under

Sharia law. They have been out of practice for centuries in some Muslim countries, but organizations like ISIS and one of our chief allies in the region, Saudi Arabia, have always held these punishments as acceptable.

That same poll found more than 80 percent of Muslims in Egypt and Jordan are in favor of executing anyone who leaves the faith.

In the Palestinian territories, that number is around 66 percent. In Iraq and Lebanon, that number is around 40 percent.

Now I love diversity and multiculturalism, but any individual who believes someone who now believes something different deserves to die, I believe, deserves to be

ridiculed and condemned in the public’s eye. There is no deserved level of tolerance for the cruel.

It is because of these cruel worldviews held by some that call for us to better understand our brothers and sisters to the east. As the numbers show, not everyone believes these terrible laws. As in all religions, there are good and bad followers. The only thing that separates them is how they interpret and practice their faith.

The tightrope I spoke of earlier is now more imperative than ever. It is important to remember all the good our smorgasbord society has accomplished. I, for one, would hate to live

in a world where everyone looked, talked and dressed like me. That would get boring fast.

Short of pacifying everyone on earth, bigotry and hatred will never go away.

We should always be understanding and accepting of people with different views or looks than us.

Just because they are different doesn’t mean they are wrong. That is until their differences boil down to an inherent hatred of those who are different. Then it is critical to not be afraid to stand up in the face of ideologies that wish harm on non likeminded individuals. That is not intolerance, only justice. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

letter to the editor

Love is love

www.wvgazette.com

russell saunders letter to the editor

Your definition of marriage and your beliefs are not above my love. The decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on Oct. 6 has given many states, West Virginia included, a clear path to legalize same-sex marriage.

What does this mean for gay and lesbian couples in W.Va.? We can finally ex-

DA

press our love and devotion like our counterparts.

What does this mean for people who do not believe in same-sex marriage? Nothing. Your beliefs are yours for a reason, and those beliefs are not to be thrown at unwanted audiences.

My marriage to my male partner will have no more affect on you than if I ate a donut while you are on a diet. The fact is my marriage is my business. And if you “do not want homo-

sexuality thrown in your face” then stop advocating that same-sex marriage is ruining the sanctity of marriage, especially when 50 percent of marriages between heterosexuals end in divorce.

Emotions and tears are aplenty on both sides of this ruling. This will without a doubt cause tensions in political races in W.Va., and could possibly be a key topic in debates.

However, to those politicians planning to oppose

same-sex marriage, I will remind you that you serve all West Virginians, not just the straight ones. To deprive me of my marriage solely because of my sexual orientation is discrimination no matter how you look at it. Furthermore, as an elected official of the United States, the job of your respective offices is to uphold the Constitution, not the stereotypical views of some Christian republicans.

Love affects our lives

like nothing else. The incredible feeling of knowing that your partner is supportive of you does not have an equal. Now, imagine you are lucky enough to actually find this person for you, but you cannot express your love or devotion to each other through a legal marriage.

Imagine that all those years together means nothing when the nurse tells you that “you’re not allowed in the hospital room.” Imagine the gut-

wrenching feeling of having a child, you both raised together, taken away because of this legal technicality. Imagine that eternally gray day when your partner leaves this world, and on top of that knowing that you will not receive their social security or veterans benefits to alleviate the financial gap that was created. Now, imagine all of this could be fixed with two words, “I do.” daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

BORN IN NEON LIGHTS Icona Pop comes to Morgantown for Campus Consciousness Tour by jake jarvis managing editor @JakeJarviswvu

The Swedish electro-pop duo Icona Pop has returned to the United States and will perform in Morgantown, W.Va., Friday night.

Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, the two Swedish women who comprise the group, experienced huge success with their 2012 single “I Love It.” The single peaked at No. 7 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart later in 2013.

Jawo said this song was inspired by a “sort of” boyfriend and was an act of karma.

Well before scorned boyfriends, Icona Pop’s career began in 2012 with the release of the self-titled album “Icona Pop.” The world first heard the women through “Manners,” the group’s first single, released in 2011.

The group is embarking on “The Campus Consciousness Tour.” This is the first time it has performed for college campuses across the nation.

Jawo said she was excited to visit Morgantown because of the Unviersity’s reputation of being a party school.

“The few college shows we have played at have been crazy,” Jawo said. “I think it’s going to be a very fun time.”

Many might assume that Jawo and Hjelt party each time they travel to a new city, but Jawo said this is not the case. She said if she doesn’t have an early engagement the next morning, they will hit the town.

“It’s not always that we drink a lot, it’s the people around you, the music, talking to peoeple (and) the environment,” Jawo said. “We

were born in the neon lights, so for us it’s really important.

We love meeting people.”

Despite enjoying meeting new people at every location her travels take her, she said it can sometimes be daunting not seeing her family. Still, she said she has “the best job in the world.”

While out partying, Jawo said inspiration sometimes hits her unexpectedly and she must return to her hotel room to write music. She said she sometimes has to drink “endless liters of wine” to get into the zone of writing music, but sometimes it just hits her.

Through times like these, the women have begn writing their new album with a small, portable recording studio.

“The fan base we have now is so much bigger,” Jawo said. “I don’t feel any pressure. But of course we’re making our new album, and I think there are many songs that are at least as good as ‘I Love It,’ but I think as long as you are proud of what you’re doing, that’s the most important part of success.”

Jawo did not say when the next album will be released.

“I guess (students will) have to take us out and show us the party animals inside of you,” Jawo said.

The concert begins at 8 p.m. Friday at the Morgantown Metropolitan Theatre.

Opening for Icona Pop will be Five Knives and Lowell.

Tickets are $23 for students and $28 for the general public.

Caroline Wall, a junior fine arts photography student, has a heart tattoo stating “ Find what you love and let it kill you.”

AMC’s “The Walking Dead” came back with a force this weekend.

At the end of season four part of the group ended up at Terminus, supposedly a sanctuary and safe place to stay away from the “walkers.”

When they got to Terminus, things were not as they imagined. Rick and the rest of his crew were captured and left in train cars, probably to be killed later.

The season premiere Sunday evening brought us back to the train car as Rick, Glenn, Daryl, Bob and other refugees are pulled from the car by Terminus residents.

What they later find out is that the people of Terminus get people into the camp with all the signs of safeness to later eat them.

While this is going on, Tyreese, Carol and baby Judith are trudging through to find Terminus and come across a citizen of Terminus and a cabin. Carol leaves Tyreese and Judith at the cabin with the man from Terminus and starts to shoot the walkers going toward the camp, causing commotion.

Glenn, Bob, Rick and Daryl are fighting with their captors when they start to hear what is going on outside. The Terminus men drop their weapons to go outside and help defend their home. Rick breaks free of their hand ties, releasing the rest of the guys.

Outside, there are walkers everywhere and the group grabs what they can from the room where all the bodies are taken to be butchered and join the fight. They kill not only walkers, but also many citizens of Terminus.

They get their crew out of the train car and everyone leaves the camp.

Once they get out into the woods and recover their bag of guns and supplies, Carol emerges from the woods and everyone is so glad to see her, especially Daryl, after being separated for so long. She tells everyone to follow her, and they go to the cabin.

Tears of joy stream down Rick’s face as he is reunited with Judith after not knowing if she made it through the battle at the prison.

“The Walking Dead” premiere reeled in 17.3 million viewers, 2.5 million more than Sunday-night football.

The show airs 9 p.m. Sundays on AMC. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Morgantown Poets returns with Bowser Suspect a natural gas leak?

First, move your feet!

Then call when you’re down the street.

Outside or in, detecting a natural gas leak is easy. To help you SMELL a leak from a gas line or appliance, a familiar odor like rotten eggs is often added to natural gas. Or you might SEE blowing dirt, bubbling water or an unusual area of dead vegetation. A leaking pipeline might also make a hissing sound you can HEAR. Also, remember to call “WV 811” by dialing 811 at least two working days before digging on your property. And if you suspect a gas leak—walk away, right away. Once clear of the area, call Dominion Hope, at 1-800-688-4673.

The Monongalia Art Center will host an event of poetic proportions with the return of its monthly Morgantown Poets series at 7 p.m.

Each month showcases a different author sharing their literary work collection.

The event also provides an outlet for local artists and freelancers to share their own original writings.

October will feature renowned author Michelle Bowser sharing a multitude of her quick-witted works. Bowser is most commonly known for her book “Don’t Yell at the Damn Desk Clerk,” the comical story of what goes on overnight in a hotel. Her most recent novella tells the odd tale of a decrepit town and its ultra-eerie inhabitants titled “The Hags of Black County.” The book features Madame Skunk’s House of Ill Repute, a demolition derby riot and the rabid zombie clown apocalypse.

Bowser, an only child, grew up in a haunted house tucked away in the woods.

Experiences from her unconventional child-

hood are reflected throughout her works, as she ponders the idea of the absurd and unusual. Her writing is both comical and clever, painting vivid characters and even more lucid plotlines.

Guests of the event will also have the opportunity to receive autographs and personally signed books by Bowser following her reading.

After Bowser’s performance, the MAC will feature an open mic session, where local artists and spectators are encouraged to share their own writings.

The MAC has historically been a leading force in art and culture for the local community. Events such as the recurring poetry series hopes to promote an increased interest in writing and the arts.

There is no admission fee for the poetry series event.

Don’t get too hyped about Tech victory

Saturday’s comeback win at Texas Tech can be viewed in a couple ways.

It can be viewed as just that: A great comeback for the Mountaineers that showed their resiliency to not give up – even with trailing by two touchdowns with fewer than six minutes to play.

Or it can be viewed as a game that the Mountaineers should have never needed to come back to that extent and should have been playing toe-to-toe with the Red Raiders all game, while displaying West Virginia’s consistent offense playing throughout – not just in the final 7:32 of the ball game.

I, view the Mountaineers fourth win of the season (42) as the latter option. Although coming back on the road to a fellow Big 12 team in a hostile environment of 58,502 spectators – consisting of nearly all Red Raiders – is impressive, the game should not have had to be played out like it was.

When compared to the first five games of the season, the Mountaineers played subpar in the first half against Tech.

The ormal fire power out of redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett connecting with his key receivers in seniors Kevin White and Mario Alford just wasn’t there. Fortunately, redshirt sophomore running back Rushel Shell did have the only glimpse of fire for the Mountaineers through the first 30 minutes of the ball game, scoring WVU’s only touchdown in the first half.

Once the third quarter rolled around, I did not see the Mountaineers being victorious and that was strictly based on what they’ve been consistently doing throughout the season in the second half: Play far below their first half performances.

Now, for most of the second half, West Virginia continued to do just that, but still somehow managed to end the third quarter only trailing by one touchdown.

As the fourth quarter came about and things got even worse for the Mountaineers, the likelihood of seeing them leaving Lubbock on the losing side of things seemed extremely probable, once again.

Essentially, West Virginia played OK for about the first 54 minutes of Saturday’s game in Lubbock.

However, fortunately for West Virginia, the right parts clicked when they mattered most leading to an extraordinary final six minutes for them, and eventually to victory.

Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, as this team could easily be 2-4 instead of 4-2 if a couple of kicks as time expired went slightly left or right.

Nevertheless, with the Mountaineers showing they are able to come back and play their best in the most critical situations – for the most part – a lot of positives are heading into Saturday against No. 4 Baylor.

If the Mountaineers are to allow the Bears and quarterback Bryce Petty score to like they’ve been doing all season and put up their average 52.7 points per game – No. 1 in college football – Saturday may not be all that pretty for the Mountaineers and their fans inside of Milan Puskar Stadium.

After all, this is a Baylor squad that just put up more points on TCU than the Horned Frogs have given up in their first five games this season combined.

Mountaineers, be warned and attempt to be prepared. apecorar@mail.wvu.edu

TOUGH TIMES AWAIT

kyle monroe/the daily athenaeum

WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen looks on during West Virginia’s game against Texas Tech Saturday.

Holgorsen, West Virignia need to bring “A” game Saturday against Baylor at home by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After the dust settled on West Virginia’s 37-34 comeback win over Texas Tech in Lubbock Saturday, head coach Dana Holgorsen couldn’t help but be pleased with his defense’s second-half performance.

After allowing the Red Raiders to score on four of their first five possessions in the first half, the Mountaineers’ defense buckled down in the second half. The unit forced a turnover on downs on Tech’s first possession and caused four punts, including

one on its final drive on the game which set West Virginia up for its gamewinning field goal.

“We let the game settle in (during) the second half and played awesome on defense in the second half,” Holgorsen said after the game.

In the first half, West Virginia was unable to get pressure on quarterback Davis Webb and allowed him to essentially play pitch-andcatch with his receivers. Webb tossed three touchdown passes on consecutive drives before safety K.J. Dillon intercepted an errant pass on the Red Raiders’ final drive of the first half.

Texas Tech owned a 21-10 lead at halftime, but the score barely reflected the Red Raiders’ dominance on both sides of the ball.

Holgorsen credited his team’s maturity for coming out in the second half and continuing to fight.

“We gave up three straight touchdowns and gave up plays, and guys came to the sidelines and in years past they would have been done,” Holgorsen said.

“Maturity is big. We’ve got a lot of kids on defense who have played a lot of ball and understand, going into the third year in the Big 12, what these offenses are

like.

“Coach (Tony) Gibson has done a great job of emphasizing key stops, three-and-outs.”

Given the Big 12’s reputation of up-tempo, air raid offensive philosophies, it’s rare to come across a dominant defense that is able to shut down both the run and pass. Instead, Holgorsen gauges a defense’s talent on being able to get stops in key situations, rather than total yardage.

“Our job against Baylor – they’re going to get yards. They’re going to make plays. They’re going to score points. But getting stops when it counts is how you’ve

got to gauge being successful against them,” he said.

Although No. 4 Baylor’s offensive philosophy is largely the same as Texas Tech’s, the Bears’ offense features a Heisman candidate in senior quarterback Bryce Petty, a stable of talented receivers and a bruising running back.

Through six games, Petty has passed for 1,534 yards and 15 touchdowns. Running back Shock Linwood has racked up 627 yards on 119 carries for eight touchdowns, while true freshman receiver K.D. Cannon has hauled in 30 receptions for 651 yards and six touchdowns.

Slowing down the nation’s No. 1 offense will be no easy feat.

“They are going to spread you from sideline to sideline,” Gibson said. “We just have to get better at space, and that’s easy to say, but when you are used to playing in the back, stopping the run and going out on wide-outs, it gets difficult. Some other guys may have to step up and do some things.

“You have to watch what you do and how you do it, because, if not, they will blow the scoreboard up on you,” Gibson said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Women’s Soccer

Mountaineers filled with certainty

Confidence is soaring high for the West Virginia women’s soccer team. Riding a 10-game unbeaten streak after downing Texas Tech last week, the Mountaineers seem poised to keep their momentum going.

After suffering their only Big 12 loss last season to the Red Raiders, West Virginia returned the favor and picked up a 4-2 win over Texas Tech Friday night.

This victory could be a defining moment for the Mountaineers. West Virginia was forced to play a man-down. In the 55th minute of the contest, Amandine Pierre-Louis was issued a red card.

With a 2-1 lead at that point, the Mountaineers were able to hang out and outlasted the Red Raiders, winning 4-2.

“It was tough,” said head

coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

“You appreciate just how focused the girls were. They still found a way to win and win with authority and hard work.”

WVU defender Cari Price came up big for the Mountaineers. Just five minutes after Pierre-Louis was ejected, Price scored her first goal of the season.

Her effort earned her Big 12 offensive player of the week.

“I’ve never won any award or anything like that,” Price said. “So it did feel really good.”

“Everybody steps up at different times,” Izzo-Brown said. “I think everybody at some point is doing their job. For Cari to get recognition, that was huge because she’s had a great season for us thus far.”

As reigning conference champions, maintaining a 10-game unbeaten streak and coming off a man-down win over a tough Texas Tech team, things seem to be going the Mountaineers’ way.

WVU will hope to keep the momentum going into a pair of road games this weekend.

“We’re doing everything right,” said defender Carly Black. “We don’t want to let up just because we’re on the road.”

“I think it’s pretty good right now,” Price said in regard to the team’s confidence level. “It’s where it should be.”

The Mountaineers started the season on a bumpy road as they searched for consistency during non-conference play, but now the team appears to have hit its stride.

“We wish we could start off a little bit stronger, but we always come together as a team and fix things we need to fix and end up doing well,” Price said. “There’s always stuff you can work on.

It’s a huge weekend, we need to make the NCAA tournament.”

With three-straight conference championships, perhaps the next major step

A different look surrounding WVU this season by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In coach Michael Grapner’s years heading the West Virginia diving team – five now, to be exact – he’s seen successes, he’s seen failures and he’s seen some talented athletes come and go.

But the 2014-15 season promises to be an entirely different challenge. All four of the male divers Grapner has under his wing this year – Logan McHenry, Alex Obendorf, Markus Perry

and Michael Proietto – are freshmen.

With a totally rebuilt roster this year, Grapner said the focus is building for the future.

“We have to work with them on their mechanics and their fundamentals, but they all come in with prior knowledge of the sport,” Grapner said.

The Mountaineer freshmen made their competitive debut last weekend in the West Virginia State Games held at Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va. However, WVU was the only

school to send male divers to compete, and Grapner said he was not overly encouraged by his team’s performance.

“The State Games were a nice eye-opener for us. I feel like we fell into some old, bad habits,” he said.

Michael Proietto, a native of Aston, Pa., claimed first place in both the one-meter and three-meter diving competition. Proietto also won the one-meter event at the intrasquad Blue-Gold Meet the weekend before, while Alex Obendorf earned a victory in the three-meter

competition.

Grapner said the presence of a veteran-laden women’s diving team, as well as the competition and camaraderie between the divers, will help his freshmen grow over the next four years. In some ways, Grapner said, they’re even better positioned than they were last year.

“Last year we had one boy competing at Zone ‘A’s (the NCAA Zone ‘A’ Diving Championships),” Grapner said. “This year, we’ll have four healthy and competitive boys.”

The Mountaineer rookie

class has so far been led by Proietto, who was a twotime Pennsylvania All-State selection in high school.

Alex Obendorf earned AllAmerican honors twice during his career at Hudson High School in Hudson, Ohio.

Markus Perry started his high school career in his native Monument, Colo., before transferring to Hargrave Military Academy and earning a spot on the All-Star Grand Champion Team at U.S. Nationals. Logan McHenry was a New Jersey State Champion and

two-time All-State selection at Atlantic City High School.

These four freshmen will get the opportunity to grow and compete together over the next four years, and they will get their chances to help bring the WVU diving program to new heights.

The Mountaineer swimming and diving team will continue its season with a pair of meets the weekend of Oct. 23, when WVU will host Penn State at the WVU Natatorium before facing Villanova on the road Oct. 25. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia drops match to Kansas in four sets by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

A tough fought battle against the Kansas Jayhawks Wednesday night brought the West Virginia University volleyball team down for its fourth loss in the Big 12.

Finishing with set scores of 25-19, 10-25, 20-25 and 22-25, the Mountaineers came close to bringing the match into their favor but were not successful.

Junior Hannah Sackett said when WVU was down in the second set, they were trying to keep their mentality strong.

“Regardless of what has happened before or what will happen in the future, we need to play in the present moment,” Sackett said.

“We need to be playing with a sense of urgency. I think we got comfortable with our win in the first set and Kansas came back with a vengeance, and we didn’t step up to meet that.”

Outside hitter, sophomore Jordan Anderson led the Mountaineers with 15 kills, followed by Sackett who hit for a .360 clip, and Caleah Wells who had nine.

Setter Brittany Sample started the match and finished with 33 assists. Lamprini Konstantinidou also saw some court time and added four assists while in the game.

Sample and libero Gianna Gotterba tied, leading WVU with 14 digs each. Opposite hitter Nikki Attea added eight digs and Anderson dug six balls.

The Mountaineers took the first set with strong energy, and while the game remained close, they finally finished the win 25-19.

However, the second set was a different story. Wells said the talk the team had during half time reflected that.

“We talked about it at break – about coming in and playing strong, because that second set was just not like us at all,” she said. “Things weren’t clicking the way we wanted them to. It’s a heartbreaker, but we’ve got to dust it off and get ready for (the next match).”

Head coach Jill Kramer said the halftime discussion gave her confidence for the third set.

“Coming out in the third after we talked in the locker room, I thought they re-

sponded pretty well,” she said. “I thought they came back out and fought, it just wasn’t enough. What I talked to them about at the half was we were being a little reckless with the ball and attacking wise, we were making a lot of errors, we needed to have a better strategy.”

On the Kansas side of the net, outside hitter Chelsea Albers finished with 15 kills, and middle blocker Tayler Soucie added 11. Setter Ainise Havili contributed 47 assists for the Jayhawks and libero Cassie Wait had 22 digs.

In regards to the kills contributed by Sackett and Wells tonight, Kramer said she was pleased with their performances.

“She has been great in practice, and she brought

it to the match tonight,” Kramer said. “She didn’t just score one way, she painted the line really well, she hit cross-court, and that’s what you’ve got to do as an outside hitter.”

Having Sample in setting made a difference for Wells’ game as well. Kramer said Wells took good swings, and Sample was feeding her the ball a lot.

Serving wise, the Mountaineers finished with one ace and four errors, something they have struggled with in other matches.

Kramer said their serving was not too much of an issue tonight.

“The thing is, if you take a look, we don’t really have a whole lot of aces and errors from anyone,” she said.

“Hannah (Shreve) scored

some points there, but then she (had errors) and Brittany was 1-1, and that’s an okay thing. I think we can still serve tougher.”

The Mountaineers will not play again until next Wednesday at Baylor. Having a week off will give them the chance to get in the gym, practice and sleep.

“It’s really, really good for them to have a few days off and a mental break without a match,” Kramer said.

“It’s good to have a routine, but we’ve got two really big road trips the next two weeks, and our minds and our bodies need to be really well rested.”

Game time at Baylor is 7 p.m. next Wednesday in Waco, Texas. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

With RB Ridley hurt, Patriots look to fill gap

Patriots’ running back Stevan Ridley has been injured and will not be playing for New England anytime soon.

“I’m confident with all Whoever sees more ac- those guys that are out remains a mystery. there,” quarterback Tom Brady said Tuesday. “You sit in all the same meetings that all the other guys sit in. You’re getting, maybe not quite as many reps, but you’re being coached the same way.”

The injury comes just as the Patriots offense is rolling. They scored 80 points in the past two games after totaling the same amount in the first four. And Brady is coming off his best game of the season with 361 yards passing and four touchdown passes.

Ridley hurt his right knee in the third quarter of Sunday’s 37-22 win over the Buffalo Bills. He leads the Patriots with 340 yards rushing, has run for more than 100 yards twice this season and his 21 touchdowns on the ground since 2012 lead the AFC. And he hasn’t lost a

ap

fumble after doing that twice in 2012 and four times in 2013.

The Patriots have declared Ridley out for the game but haven’t made a roster move with him or linebacker Jerod Mayo, who was carted off the field in the second quarter Sunday after hurting his right knee.

Ridley appeared distraught while being helped off, but Gray has seen him since then.

“He’s a pretty upbeat guy,” Gray said. “He stays pretty positive about stuff.

He’s been through a lot in his career, period, so this is just another setback for a big comeback.”

Bolden was signed as an undrafted free agent before the 2012 season. In his third game as a rookie, he rushed 16 times for 137 yards and a touchdown.

But in 28 NFL games, he has just 126 carries for 570 yards.

So can he carry the ball 20 times in a game and still be effective on special teams?

“I’ll have to see if that happens,” Bolden said.

“That would be great to hear it, but I’m just go-

ing into this game just doing whatever they ask me to do, whether it’s special teams or offense.”

White was drafted in the fourth round after finishing his career with 4,015 yards rushing at Wisconsin, third most in school history. But in his only action this year, late in a 4114 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, he ran three times for 21 yards.

“You just have to stay ready at all times,” White said. “You never know when your number’s going to be called. You work hard during practice, continue to show that you’re capable of playing if that opportunity does come.”

Bolden and Gray are closest to the 220-pound Ridley in size.

And while Gray hasn’t been on an active roster yet - spending 2012 on Miami’s physically unable to perform list and 2013 on Baltimore’s practice squad – he attends the same practices and meetings as the rest of the team.

He’s learned from Ridley in the running backs sessions.

“He runs with reckless abandon,” Gray said. “It’s

good that we sit right next to each other in the meeting room. So whenever he sees something he asks me a question. He’s like, ‘What do you think I should have done here?’ and I always ask him (questions). We kind of absorb off each other, so he’s kind of a big brother.”

Now that Ridley’s hurt, Gray says his preparation doesn’t change.

“The staff does a good job of making sure we’re preparing the same way every time,” Gray said. “The guys that aren’t playing the game are getting extra film study, extra work, so for me it’s the same mindset.”

NOTES: CB Brandon Browner expects to make his Patriots debut Thursday night after a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy then sitting out the past two games. He was limited in practice Tuesday with an ankle injury but said afterward, “I’m ready to go.”... LB Dont’a Hightower was limited with a knee injury after missing the past two games but figures to play and take over the defensive signal calling from Mayo.

Texas A&M travels to Take on Alabama Saturday

ap

Texas A&M quarterback Kenny Hill and the Aggies prepare for an away game at Alabama Saturday.

College Football (AP) – Nick Saban found himself on the defensive after a lackluster performance by Alabama.

He could have more explaining to do if he’s unable to bring the Crimson Tide’s suddenly moribund offense back to life.

The No. 7 Crimson Tide will look to send No. 21 Texas A&M to its first threegame losing streak in nearly three years Saturday in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama (5-1, 2-1 SEC) won its first four games by a combined 168-56 margin before falling 23-17 at thenNo. 11 Ole Miss on Oct. 4.

The Crimson Tide narrowly escaped a second straight defeat last Saturday, winning 14-13 on the road

against an Arkansas team that lost its 15th straight in conference play.

They went ahead on a six-yard touchdown pass from Blake Sims to DeAndrew White with 12:36 remaining, avoiding another second-half letdown after being outscored 20-3 in the second half by the Rebels.

With his team drawing some criticism, Saban responded with some pointed comments during his Monday press conference.

“Everybody’s got such a high expectation for what our team should be,” Saban said. “It really sorta, if you want to know the truth about it, (ticks) me off when I take to people that have this expectation like they’re disappointed that we only

won the game, 14-13, and in the way we played.”

Alabama left plenty to be dissatisfied with in victory, however.

The Tide’s 227 yards of offense was the fifth-lowest total in Saban’s 100 games at the school. They’ve averaged 311.5 in the last two games after posting 594.3 in the first four contests, and have scored 17 or fewer points in back-toback weeks for the first time since Saban’s first season of 2007.

Amari Cooper, who entered the Arkansas game second in the FBS with 149.2 receiving yards per contest, was held to two catches for 22 yards.

Alabama also committed four fumbles on special

teams last week, losing two.

Texas A&M (5-2, 2-2) is trying to avoid its first three-game losing streak since Oct. 29-Nov. 12, 2011, after 48-31 and 35-20 defeats to then-No. 12 Mississippi State and No. 3 Ole Miss, respectively.

“Back-to-back losses are obviously something no one is happy about,” linebacker Jordan Mastrogiovanni said. “I feel like we’re better than that.”

A suddenly stagnant offense has also been the problem for the Aggies, who have averaged 25.5 points in the past two games after scoring 51.2 per game in the first five. They converted 12 of 35 third downs in the last two after going 34 for 63 during the 5-0 start.

Kenny Hill led the nation with a 175.9 rating after the first five games, throwing 17 TDs and two interceptions. He’s been intercepted five times in the last two contests, with one getting brought back for a touchdown by Mississippi. Hill also lost a fumble that was returned for a score.

“We can’t win like that,” Hill said. “That’s on me.”

Texas A&M still ranks fourth in offense with 564.9 yards per game.

This will be the second test for Alabama against a top-10 offense after a 3323 season-opening victory over West Virginia in which they limited the Mountaineers to 393 yards – 159.2 fewer than their current average. The Tide are holding

opponents to 277.2 yards per game to rank third nationally.

“We’re going to certainly have to be at our best to do a good job of trying to get them stopped, and also to control the ball on offense so they don’t have it all the time,” Saban said. “Those things are really critical in a game like this.”

Alabama leads the alltime series 4-2, though the visiting team has won both matchups since Texas A&M joined the SEC. The Aggies beat the then-top ranked Tide 29-24 in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 10, 2012.

T.J. Yeldon ran 25 times for 149 yards and a TD in Alabama’s 49-42 victory last Sept. 14. Cooper caught two passes for 34 yards.

No. 10 Georgia in limbo with Gurley suspended

ap

Georgia running back Todd Gurley has been suspended, while the school investigates whether he violated NCAA rules.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) – Todd Gurley darted around the orange cones, cutting from side to side while an assistant coach barked instructions, taking on the agility drill like it was just another day at practice.

It wasn’t, of course.

Gurley – and his 10th-

ranked Georgia Bulldogs – are in limbo while the school investigates whether he violated NCAA rules by allegedly receiving improper benefits for signing autographs.

The star running back was suspended last week, less than 48 hours before

his team took on Missouri, but the coaching staff has to make sure he gets enough work in practice in case he is cleared to play in Saturday’s game at Arkansas.

“It’s kind of confusing,” offensive guard Greg Pyke said. “But it is nice to have him out there for the cama-

raderie with the guys.”

The only thing out of the ordinary during the brief time the media got to view Tuesday’s practice was Gurley wearing a green No. 3 jersey, which normally indicates players who are limited because of injuries. In this case, it signified that Gurley would get a few snaps with the first team, but did much of his conditioning on the side.

Freshman Nick Chubb, who rushed a staggering 38 times for 143 yards in a 34-0 rout of Missouri, continues to get the bulk of the work with the starters. As long as Gurley is suspended, Chubb will remain the go-to guy in the Bulldogs’ offense.

“I think our guys really understand that football is a team game,” coach Mark Richt said. “The best chance we have is for everybody to take care of their responsibilities.”

The school has not released details of the investigation, but Richt acknowledged it involves autographs and memorabilia when asked whether he thought college players should be able to benefit financially for signing their names on jerseys, helmets and other gear.

“I’m not going to get into all of that,” he said.

“It would obviously be tied into what we’re living through right now. If you had asked me two weeks ago, I’d have probably answered that one.”

Quarterback Hutson Mason said every school is faced with the issue to some degree.

“What are you going to do, take away autographs as a whole?” Mason asked.

“People signing stuff goes on everywhere. Obviously, I can’t comment on whether Todd took money.

I don’t know if that’s true or not. But people are signing stuff in every college program.”

The Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) don’t have a lot of depth at running back while Gurley is on the sideline. Richt was initially hopeful that Keith Marshall would be able to play after missing the last three games with knee and ankle injuries, but the coach wasn’t as optimistic after watching him practice on Monday.

“He’s getting some work, but my best guess is that he probably won’t be ready by the time we play,” Richt said.

It was hard to tell much of anything Tuesday, when practice was hampered about midway through by a heavy downpour. The Bulldogs stayed on the field, but couldn’t do much more

than a walk-through.

Freshman running back Sony Michel, out with a shoulder injury, definitely won’t play against the Razorbacks (3-3, 0-3). The best hope for his return is the Nov. 1 game against Florida.

With Brendan Douglas again looking like the only experienced backup behind Chubb, Georgia moved J.J. Green back to offense. He was the team’s second-leading rusher in 2013, but had been playing defense back this season.

“It’s good that we had a guy with a little bit experience who played running back last year that’s going to be able to fill in for us and help out at that position,” offensive coordinator Mike Bobo said, adding the move will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis. “We’ve still got Keith banged up and Sony banged up. A lot will depend on those two guys.”

And that other guy.

No. 3.

Richt said he’s got no idea if Gurley will be able to play against the Razorbacks.

“I just don’t have any answer for that,” the coach said. “I don’t know. If there’s something worthy of reporting, we’ll report it.

But other than that, we’re just focusing on things that we can control right now.”
