University Place designed ‘with students in mind‘

homecoming recap

Bryce Cumpston and Linden Nelson were crowned WVU’s 2013 Homecoming king and queen.

Editor’s note: This is the first story in a four part series that will be continued throughout the semester.

David Martinelli said it’s the best of both worlds for West Virginia University students.

The owner of Paradigm Development Group is helping to spearhead efforts to build new on-campus housing in Morgantown’s Sunnyside neighborhood.

“It’s about making this block accessible to 1,000 students rather than 100,” Martinelli said. “Now 950 students can live a block away from campus and enjoy Sunnyside. Sunnyside is a fun place; we want to keep the fun, put some quality to it, and expose it to more people.”

University Place, two nine-story buildings and a townhome complex , is part of the University’s effort to create more housing for students.

Typically, only freshmen and a few select upperclassmen serving as resident assistants reside in the residence halls. With University Place, however, underclass-

men and upperclassman alike can live in the same complex.

University Place will offer two types of apartments: one is slightly smaller, less expensive and will have more of a dorm-like atmosphere.

The second will be larger and more expensive, but will have the more “grownup” feel for those juniors, seniors and graduate students ready to feel more at home in Morgantown.

Martinelli said another priority of University Place was to revamp Grant Street, which has grown to have a negative reputation.

The lower level of University Place will have townhouses and students can decide between two housing options.

“We think these townhomes are going to be really desirable. They’re going to be right down there on the street level,” Martinelli said.

Between the apartment buildings and townhouses Martinelli said there would be a pedestrian walkway that would open the area up and be inviting.

“We wanted people to experience the building rather than have one giant building, so we split it,” he

Cumpston, Nelson crowned Homecoming royalty

Tarang festival sheds light on Indian culture

By Summer Ratcliff City Editor @SummerRatcliff

A new king and queen have taken the throne at West Virginia University.

During half time of Saturday’s football game against Texas Tech, Linden Nelson and Bryce Cumpston were crowned the 2013 WVU Homecoming queen and king.

Shannon McKenna/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Nelson, a pharmacy student from Wheeling, W.Va., is the chaplain of the Alpha Phi sorority, a member of WVU President James P. Clements rides through the parade with his family as they the Mountaineer Maniacs, the Pre-Pharmacy Club, the throw candy to the crowd.

Academy of Student Pharmacists and the Kappa Psi pharmaceutical fraternity. She was sponsored by her sorority.

“When they called my name, I was completely shocked,” Nelson said. “I just remember thinking, ‘Is this really happening? Did they really just say my name?’

I started to tear up a little bit, because being named homecoming queen is something I have wanted for a while.”

Nelson said she would never forget walking across the football field in front of thousands of people.

“I was really nervous at first, but looking around the stadium and seeing all my fellow Mountaineers cheering for me made me feel at home walking out,” she said.

“It hands down was one of the top moments in my life.”

Nelson said winning the title of homecoming queen is an honor she does not take lightly.

“I hope that with this title I can serve as a role model to students that they can do (anything) on this campus,” Shannon McKenna/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Alpha Xi Delta and Sigma Chi grouped together to create a Aladdin-themed float.

The Indian Student Association kicked off Diversity Week in the Mountainlair with Tarang 2013, a celebration of Indian culture.

The event featured authentic Indian food from Mother India and performances of Indian dances.

Radhey Sharma, faculty adviser for the Indian Student Association, said he enjoyed seeing an abundance of diversity, including members of the Chinese Student Association.

“We’ve tried to bring students from different cultures together so that everybody can have a sense of feeling that is inclusive,” Sharma said.

“The main theme here is to have (a) understanding of culture and (try) to

bring people together.”

Sharma said he enjoys returning to India and sharing his experiences from West Virginia University with students there.

“This is one of the events that I take pictures and videos of, then show them to students in India,” he said. “The students get excited and want to come here.”

The event featured music and dancing that showcased the lifestyle of India. The performances represented each of the 26 states in India.

Praveen Majjigapu, president of the Indian Student Association and civil engineering student, said he felt proud to showcase his culture to the WVU community.

Survivor story: Local mom shares her battle with breast cancer by megan calderado staff writer @dailyathenaeum

On Aug. 4, 2011, Lisa Bolyard was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Bolyard, of 3C’s Hair Salon in Morgantown, is a proud cancer survivor and carrier of a rare gene mutation.

“I found the lump when I was seven months pregnant, so I just thought it was hormonal,” Bolyard said. “But I was diagnosed a couple months after I gave birth. It was (a) complete shock.”

Bolyard said at first, she was told to go home and put a heating pad on the lump, but something didn’t seem right to her.

Looking back, she said she has a great aunt and second cousin who were diagnosed with breast cancer, but she never thought her family history was strong enough for it to influence her health.

“I never really thought about it, but come to find out I was diagnosed with the breast cancer and also tested positive for the BRCA gene,” Bolyard said.

The BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes make tumor suppressor proteins that help repair damaged DNA. When these genes become mutated, however, it presents a stronger chance of producing cancerous cells.

Bolyard said cancers that form due to the BRCA

1 or 2 genes are more difficult to cure, because there isn’t a targeted therapy drug patients can take.

“I was told twice it wasn’t breast cancer, and something just told me it wasn’t right. Then, I had a mammogram and they still told me it wasn’t breast cancer,” Bolyard said. “My doctor finally did a biopsy, and that’s when they diagnosed me.”

Actress Angelina Jolie, BRCA 1 carrier, recently got a double mastectomy and oophorectomy (removal of breasts and ovaries) because her chances of getting breast or ovarian cancers were dangerously high due to the gene mutation.

“

“Being a new mom and finding out you have breast cancer…

I don’t know, it was harder to do well with my treatment for my children .”

Lisa Bolyard

”

Breast Cancer Survivor

While Bolyard carries BRCA 2, the gene mutations are similar and led to her having similar surgeries.

“They removed the breast with the lump in it and I had to have my other breast removed. They also had to remove fallopian tubes in the

ovaries to prevent me from getting ovarian cancer,” Bolyard said.

Bolyard’s daughter, who was 5 months old when Bolyard was diagnosed, is now 2 years old, and her other daughter is 14. She said they know about her disease and they will have to be tested when they are in their 20s, because they have about a 50 percent chance of developing it.

“Being a new mom and finding out you have breast cancer … I don’t know, it was harder to do well with my treatment for my children,” Bolyard said. “I continued to work, and I think that helped me, because the more you

sit at home, the more time you have to think about it.”

Bolyard said breast cancer isn’t a death sentence; she was very lucky to have caught it while it was in stage two, but if women feel something isn’t right, they shouldn’t let it go.

“Its also not an age thing,” Bolyard said. “I know women who are in their early twenties who are being diagnosed with breast cancer.

It’s not an old woman thing anymore.”

Bolyard is still cancer free and working at the 3C’s Hair Salon. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Friday bell ringing honors former WVU student by paige little correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Alpha Phi Omega held a bell ringing ceremony in remembrance of fellow student Joshua Tulley Friday afternoon. Family members and friends in attendance celebrated Tulley’s achievements during his time at West Virginia University.

As a senior psychology student at WVU, Tulley

juggled school and a job, working at Applebee’s in Morgantown.

Kim Mosby, senior associate dean of the Office of Student Life at WVU, spoke during the bell ringing ceremony on behalf of the University and its staff.

“Although his time here with us at WVU and in Morgantown was too short, I know that it was precious time spent together for which you are

all grateful,” Mosby said.

Mosby also said Tulley’s presence at WVU further connects the Mountaineer family, and although he is no longer here, he will live on through his loved ones and through the University.

“Joshua will always be alive on our campus, in our hearts and in our lives through the wonderful memories of your experiences together,” Mosby said. “West Virginia Uni-

versity is a far better place for his having been a student here.”

A few of the attending students had no relationship with Tulley but expressed their feelings on his loss and what it means to the University.

“It’s great to see people come out and mourn for the family and friends of a loved one; I didn’t know Joshua, but I do know that his loss has brought many

strangers together in celebration of the life that he lead,” said Peter Kirkpatrick, an engineering student.

A certificate in Tulley’s memory was given to family members at the bell ringing. The certificate commemorated Tulley’s achievements and contributions at WVU and expressed the sadness felt by all those he knew here in Morgantown.

The bell ringing for Tul-

ley was a wonderful symbol showing how great it is to be a Mountaineer, and how strangers become friends in times of need.

His funeral service was held Tuesday, Oct. 8 in Danville, W.Va. Tulley is survived by his wife, Jodi Tulley, parents, Doug and Gayl Tulley, and many other family members and friends. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

NJ court agrees to allow same-sex marriages today (AP) – Same-sex marriages will begin within days in New Jersey after the state’s highest court ruled unanimously Friday to uphold a lowercourt order that gay weddings must start Monday and to deny a delay that was sought by Gov. Chris Christie’s administration.

“The state has advanced a number of arguments, but none of them overcome this reality: Same-sex couples who cannot marry are not treated equally under the law today,” the court said in an opinion

by Chief Justice Stuart Rabner.

“The harm to them is real, not abstract or speculative.”

A judge on the lower court had ruled last month that New Jersey must recognize same-sex marriage and set Monday as the date to allow gay weddings. Christie, a Republican who is considered a possible 2016 presidential candidate, appealed the decision and asked for the start date to be put on hold while the state appeals.

A spokesman for Christie said that he will comply with the ruling, though he doesn’t like it.

“While the governor firmly believes that this determination should be made by all the people of the State of New

Jersey, he has instructed the Department of Health to cooperate with all municipalities in effectuating the order,” spokesman Michael Drewniak said in a statement.

The ruling puts New Jersey on the cusp of becoming the 14th state – and the third most populous among them – to allow same-sex marriage. The advocacy group Freedom to Marry said that as of Monday one-third of Americans will live in a place where samesex marriage is legal.

It’s being debated elsewhere, too. Oregon has begun recognizing same-sex weddings performed out of state, and it is likely that voters will get a chance next year to repeal the state’s constitutional ban on gay marriage.

The legislature in Hawaii also soon could take up a bill to legalize same-sex unions, while a similar measure has passed the Illinois Senate but not the House. Lawsuits challenging gay marriage bans also are pending in several states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

New Jersey’s top court agreed last week to take up the appeal of the lower-court ruling by Judge Mary Jacobson.

Oral arguments are expected Jan. 6 or 7.

In Friday’s opinion, Rabner wrote that the state has not shown that it is likely to prevail in the case, though it did present some reasons not to marriage to move forward now.

“But when a party presents a clear case of unequal treatment, and asks the court to vindicate constitutionally protected rights, a court may not sidestep its obligation to rule for an indefinite amount of time,” he wrote.

“Under these circumstances, courts do not have the option to defer.”

Rabner also rejected the state’s argument that it was in the public interest not to allow marriages until the court has had more time to rule fully on the issue.

“What is the public’s interest in a case like this?” he wrote. “Like Judge Jacobson, we can find no public interest in depriving a group of New Jersey residents of their constitutional right to equal protection while the appeals process unfolds.”

For those opposed to gay marriage, denying the request to delay was troubling. “In what universe does it make sense to let the question at hand be answered before it’s asked or argued?” Len Deo,

Dushani Palliyaguru, graduate student at University of Pittsburgh, traveled to WVU to watch her sister perform.

A crowd of about 150 people gathered on the lawn in front of Garden State Equality Friday in Montclair, N.J. The state Supreme Court ruled that the state must begin granting same-sex marriage licenses. president of the New Jersey Family Policy Council, said in a letter Friday to his members.

On Thursday, some communities started accepting applications for marriage licenses from same-sex couples so that they would pass the 72-hour waiting period by 12:01 a.m. Monday.

Several communities, including Asbury Park and Lambertville, are holding ceremonies for multiple couples

then.

Meanwhile, the gay rights group Garden State Equality said it was lining up judges who could waive the 72hour waiting period. Also, the state’s marriage law says there is no waiting period for couples already married to reaffirm their vows. Some couples wed in New York or other places that already recognize gay marriages are expected to do that.

Despite the uncertainty before Friday’s ruling, couples – some of whom have been together for decades – have been planning to have ceremonies as soon as they would be recognized by the state government.

Palliyaguru and her sister, who are originally from Sri Lanka, said they both enjoyed learning about the Indian culture and their traditions.

“I think that’s really the sense of having international students and having this exchange of cultures and knowledge,” Palliyaguru said. “Hopefully that will someday help us bridge the differences that we have among different countries, cultures and

religions.”

Clay Wylie, a junior geography and sociology student, said he enjoys experiencing different cultures.

“I’m from Pocahontas County, so it’s a big culture shock,” Wylie said. “I get used to it, because I go to culture nights at the International house where we eat food from all over the world.”

Wylie said his favorite part of attending these events is trying all the food.

“The food is really

good. It’s definitely exotic and spicy,” Wylie said.

Ana-Maria Stoyanova, a senior sports and exercise student from Bulgaria, said she felt inspired seeing different ethnic groups come together.

“It just goes to show that the United States is a huge melting pot, and it’s good to see that there is tolerance and people are willing to learn and tolerate other ethnicities and cultures,” Stoyanova said.

“Just being here today has inspired me to work with the International Student Organization and learn more about different ethnicities.

“I’m very excited to see what the rest of the week has in store, because this is awesome.”

WVU Diversity Week will continue all week with numerous events featuring a variety of cultures and lifestyles.

tects researched and put in what students wanted most, but with a Morgantown twist – an elaborate staircase connecting the two buildings and a large Flying WV. Martinelli said the architects were eager to get started on the design of University Place because of the challenges presented with elevation and space.

“The architects were walking, and they were just trembling with excitement. They said ‘This is incredible. We

can have such a good impact here. This is going to be something that is going to change this area’, so they were excited,” he said.

University Place will offer many of the amenities found in the dorms and other apartment complexes such as study lounges on each floor with printing capabilities, a tanning and fitness center and 24/7 security.

“We’ve been studying what students wanted. We met with WVU in designing the

individual units. This is prime real-estate, so there is always a trade off between location and size,” Martinelli said. “We don’t have the swimming pools and things like that, but we’re not five miles and 45 minutes from campus.”

Mel Thompson, vice president and director of residential design at Grimm and Parker architecture firm, said he felt especially ready to dig into Sunnyside for the project.

“We were actually inspired

when we came here. We do a lot of projects on hilly sites, but this is a whole other world,” Thompson said. “We are used to working on projects on slope... We knew it was going to be a lot of fun.

We have a whole city block to work with (so) it’s hard to mess this up.”

Thompson said the group of architects wanted to look for what would bring in a good student vibe to the interior of the building. “(We wanted to bring in)

energy with the colors, energy with amenities in the student facility... There’s going to be a fitness center, vibrant courtyards where the kids can hang out, hold movie nights or building BBQs or pregame rallies,” he said.

University Place is expected to be complete for the fall 2014 semester.

Cumpston said the experience of walking onto the football field during halftime was overwhelming and gave him a unique perspective.

“Even though it was only for a few minutes, having

Weston insane asylum haunted house, ‘Abberation’ draws thousands

theasylumwv.com

The Weston Asylum looms overhead as guests arrive at the attraction.

BY CORY SANCHEZ CORRESPONDENT @dailyathenaeum

Armand Auclerc Weston State Hospital, better known as the The TransAllegheny Lunatic Asylum, has paralleled the insanity of its former patients to provide an original haunted house.

Participants upon arrival are pointed to the historic hospital that has an ominous appearance with red, billowing smoke.

“It’s scary, dude,” said Kim Janosko, a resident of Pittsburgh. “It was very well put together.”

A friend of Janosko also

said the house is not just scary but one of the best Halloween attractions around.

“We do at least three haunted houses per weekend,” said Ron Clawson, another resident of Pittsburgh. “This one was pretty sick and had things popping out at you that you didn’t expect.”

Titled “Aberration,” the haunted house is set up near the main building of the Asylum, which has already shared its ghost stories through paranormal television programs.

However, “Aberration” has pioneered its own au-

thentic and professional adventure within its crumbling walls.

“The animatronics were good and there were a lot of actors,” Janosko said. “The giant tall robed guy ... We have never seen something like that before.”

The scary long hallways, mysterious figures and chilling scenery were thrilling. Some laughs were even provided by the unexpected turns and jumps that are familiar to a fun house – from scenarios of closing-in ceilings and shifting floors.

The transitions through the hospital’s story were also nicely executed. For instance, a patient would

chatter to himself about spiders, and the next room would be a tangled mess of webs and eight-legged arachnids.

The backstory gave meaning to the madness.

“In the halls of what once was the area’s most reputable hospital, a demented doctor has brought his patients’ nightmares to life,” according to the Asylum’s website.

The son of the estate’s landowner, Jon Jordan, said he was the mad scientist who developed and operated the event.

“We have 77 volunteers tonight and almost everything in there is my idea,”

Jordan said.

Jordan said the haunted house is not only great for the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum’s reputation but also its facade.

“It’s an excellent fundraiser for the repairs on the main building,” Jordan said.

The Weston Hospital main building is known as the largest hand-cut stonemasonry building in the United States. In 1990, the site was designated a National Historic Landmark.

However, the building is deteriorating. Jordan’s family and himself have been ambitious in trying to restore its earlier presence.

“Last year, we fixed the clock tower,” Jordan said.

“We had to redo the wood, inside and outside.”

The new paint job delivers a new inviting look, yet the estate still carries its reputation as being haunted.

Those who visited were happy to be admitted into a part of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.

“It was very entertaining and definitely worth the drive,” Janosko said.

‘Salinger’ allows readers to take in-depth look at reclusive author’s life Mitchell Glazier A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

“Salinger,” by David Shields and Shane Salerno, is a biographical account of the author of “The Catcher in the Rye,” J.D. Salinger. The book is comprised of hundreds of interviews and the authors weave these accounts into an enthralling narrative.

Salinger, who became a household name after publishing his comingof-age classic, famously went into hiding. Because he became a recluse in a remote New Hampshire town and passed away in 2010, little was known about the mysterious author.

For the biography, Shields and Salerno interviewed hundreds of acquaintances of Salinger, ranging from fellow soldiers from his years fighting in World War II to townspeople who bought milk alongside the author during his final years.

Overall, the incredible depth of the book is captivating, but an intense interest in Salinger’s life is necessary to finish the lengthy tome.

Remarkably, the authors were able to interview a few of Salinger’s intimates, including accounts from former friends and lovers.

Through the course of the book, readers learn of Salinger’s awful poker playing skills, ter-

rible bedroom secrets and his desire to play his character, Holden Caulfield, in a movie adaptation. Even Salinger’s old telephone number, which would have been worth a hefty sum during his lifetime, is recorded.

While the book exploits the writer by publishing intimate letters between himself and former lover Joyce Maynard, these accounts are pure gold for Salinger fans. Most knew the author solely through his published work before Shields and Salerno brought Salinger’s life to bookshelves.

Due to the technical, genius setup of the biography, readers of “Salinger” have the ability to skip through the book to particular areas of interest.

Because nearly every as-

pect of Salinger’s life is unearthed, and a multitude of accounts and opinions are shared, this biography is incredibly insightful and varied.

Hidden quirks and habits of the author and information previously hidden away with him on his private New Hampshire farm are revealed to readers, removing some of the mystique surrounding Salinger’s intensely interesting life.

WVU: No. 2 best student union

letter from the provost

SUBMITTED

Mel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Mountainlair was recently voted No. 2 by bestcollegereviews.com.

West Virginia University has received a plethora of awards and recognition for the many facilities it offers students, ranging from a massive fitness and activity center to state-of-the-art research equipment.

Most recently, the Mountainlair has been named the No. 2 student union in the nation by bestcollegereviews.com.

For those of you who still may not know all the Lair has to offer, here’s a quick list: food chains such as Chick-fil-A and Sbarro; Hat-

fields, a restaurant only at WVU; the Side Pocket bar; conference rooms and ballrooms for special events; a movie theater; a convenience store; a computer area for quick printing; a bowling alley, arcade games and pool tables; and various lounges to accommodate any student need.

Consider ing s ome schools in the country don’t even have a student union, this is a pretty impressive space.

Some other student unions, including ones at

University of Florida and University of California San Diego, offer more services with retail and nightclubs, but few rival the architecture and inclusiveness of the Mountainlair.

The Lair plays host to hundreds of events each semester, such as the career, housing and study abroad fairs, nationally recognized speakers and student organization meetings. This is also the place where students advertise and campaign for elections, Greek rushes and student

organizations.

It’s also a great place to hang out in between classes, grab a bite to eat any time of day, or have casual meetings for group projects.

WVU was only just beat out by the student union at Oklahoma State University, arguably the largest student union in the world.

The Union, as it’s known to OKU students, spans 543,111 square feet with a 550-seat movie theater, art exhibitions and the Atherton Hotel, a hotel with 81

rooms.

It’s difficult to beat a student union with a hotel, but taking second place is an impressive feat nonetheless.

So, as we’ve said many times before, go out and experience all the Mountainlair provides students. After all, your tuition paid for it.

op-ed commentary

Opening up to religion, accepting differences Benjamin russell columnist

Many are quick to judge when it comes to religion.

In the world we are living in, it is easy to try to blame one denomination, one race or one person. It is natural for this to happen.

We have seen it before and taking advantage of one particular group of people is hasty, never productive and always dangerous.

Growing up in the church, I have seen the ups and the downs. I have believed, and I have questioned. When religion is brought up, everyone seems to freeze, like it is a cursed word no one should ever talk or even think about.

There are too many people who are scared to talk about religion. A professor last year told me no one can understand a religion by just reading about it in a book. He said you have to understand the development of the belief, the platform holding the belief together and how and why people believe in it.

In other words, we cannot understand Islamic beliefs if we didn’t grow up practicing the religion. It is hard enough to try to understand the fundamental roots of particular religions, but it is much harder and much more rewarding to try to understand the religion by living it.

Many are hasty to try to classify a particular denomination by the extremist cases we hear in the news.

For example, 9/11 made many Americans see Islam as a radical, irate, insane collection of psychopaths.

These radical cases are not approved by the majority of Muslims; therefore you cannot classify a religion based off a case like this. Assuming all Muslims are terrorists is similar to classifying Christianity based upon our brothers and sisters from Westboro Baptist. This judgmental misunderstanding is exactly why many are steering away from religion altogether.

Trying to understand the micro-scale of religion often illuminates some interesting perspectives on the macroscale of the collective universe. Everyone has to wonder at some point or another where they came from, how

this world works and the basis of our existence. Religion tries to answer some of these questions in a way many would call supernatural or unlikely.

If religion brings peace and comfort, why would anyone try to prevent people from feeling this? Yes, sometimes it can get out of hand and people get hurt in the name of one god or another.

The majority of religion is peaceful and transparent. As a Christian, I can testify that knowing about my god is more important than trying to understand the church or any particular denomination.

To use Christianity as an example, many are quick to avoid churches because of the fall of the Pope in the Catholic Church, the ex-

treme views of Southern Baptists or the seemingly creepy guys who handout the Latter-Day Saints pamphlets.

I would agree there are problems in every religion, but every religion is also beautiful in its own way.

There is a difference between a religion and a relationship with Christ or with Allah. It is personal, it is comforting and it is something to believe in during a time when there isn’t much to believe in.

If it brings peace to a family member, a friend or a professor, how could anyone try to take that away from them?

We should all strive to stay more open to each other, especially when it comes to religious practices. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

It’s not unusual for me, but I work weekends so I’m a through-the-week kind of High Streeter. Friday nights out are few and far between.

While I won’t mention the name of the venue, I accompanied a few friends to a well-known establishment on High Street.

The scene we arrived upon was less than pleasant. Five minutes into our evening a friend was accosted by a group of midtwenties gentlemen, one of whom seized her phone, entered his number then proceeded to text himself so he would have hers. I heard about this when I returned to our table and his SMS barrage stopped only after I stepped in. Some things are done in good fun, but we have to think about

how others who don’t know us will view our actions.

I stepped outside to find myself in the middle of an argument between the warring parties. Two female students were yelling about some trivial matter, though their fuss and gestures would have made it seem like the most serious of issues. Their interaction ended in profanity and tears, but it started the gears of my mind turning. It made me realize we’ve lost our sense of propriety. I’ll provide some examples.

When did it become acceptable for a man to take a woman’s possession and input it with his contact information? Why is it acceptable for two young ladies to make fools of themselves in a public place? The sad thing is ,we’ve come to accept these things as normal; we’ve come to see “going out” as a take-your-chances kind of scenario.

Well, I disagree. What happened to the days when a man at a bar would approach a woman he found attractive and introduce himself, buy her a drink

and spark up a conversation? Only if things went well would they exchange contact information. If there wasn’t a spark, both parties went their separate ways. Where are the days when two friends having a disagreement would say, “Let’s talk about this tomorrow?”

No, instead we find ourselves in a culture that rejoices in drama and expects everyone to treat everyone else as expendable and unimportant. Moreover, we’ve made national news for riots, assaulting Campus Police Officers, car-tippings and couch-burnings. Quite frankly, I don’t like it. We’re Mountaineers, and we’re better than that.

I’ve written about the great possibilities of free speech and the need to socialize beyond the use of cell phones and social media. In part, I blame the digital era for our inability to understand certain interpersonal boundaries. The sad thing is most people don’t realize the permanent damage being done by their post-high school pre-

professional years.. A lot of us don’t realize what we do when we’re drinking isn’t just something that can be laughed off. Actions have consequences.

In a world of instant Internet access and constant surveillance, we really need to be careful. A bad night in a public place may end up in a Facebook status or YouTube video before you make it home, and these things don’t go away. Parents, friends and prospective employers can see all of this, and the time you wrote off as a drunken mistake may end up being the thing keeping you from potential employment, future relationships and residential opportunities.

Think about it: if you met someone interesting but found an online video of them fighting on High Street or a Facebook status about how they creep on people at bars, would you choose to see them again?

Probably not, but we don’t seem to look at our own actions and consider the consequences. Instead, we just accept things aren’t as nice

as they should be without actually trying to do better or be different.

So, the next time you think of acting out or invading someone’s personal bubble you should ask yourself, “Is this the way I want other people to think of me?” If you decide you’re fine with others looking at you as an classless consumer of oxygen then go ahead.

But if you’re someone concerned with your future, your appearance and your self-image, then I would advise taking a minute to think things over. After all, thirty seconds to re-evaluate the situation could save you the embarrassment of your future boss calling you into his or her office to discuss that bad night you had in college.

Remember, once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer. We come from a long line of top achievers and world-class leaders, and it’s not too late to join the ranks of these distinguished alumni. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

What does it mean to Lean In? The buzz phrase, coined by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg in her 2013 book of the same name, refers to the “specific steps” an individual can take to play an active role in their own achievements and successes, no matter what obstacles they might face.

Sandberg was particularly interested in professional women, but many others have picked up on Leaning In, focusing on the positive ways we can all impact our own lives. At 5:30 p.m.

Monday, the concept and its practice will be the subject of a lively panel discussion in the Gold Ballroom of the WVU Mountainlair.

Provost Michele Wheatly will lead the discussion. As a woman in an STEM field and now in higher ed administration, Wheatly says she is well aware of the obstacles that might have prevented her from achieving at a high level.

“But,” she says, “I never let anything stop me. I think it is important for all of us, no matter who we are, to believe that we are in charge of our own path. I certainly feel that way and I’m proud to say that it’s taken me to some amazing places, including my current role here at WVU.” Wheatly would like the WVU community to hear from – and join in a discussion with – others who have not hesitated to Lean In when necessary, and who have benefited from their decision to do so. She has invited three other panelists to join her Monday.

Dr. Natalia Schmid, an assistant professor of computer science and electrical engineering, works in a field once considered the exclusive provenance of men. Her research areas include cutting-edge technologies such as wireless camera networks.

Dr. Sheila Price is an associate dean and professor in the WVU School of Dentistry, as well as an active member-contributor to the American Dental Education Association. She has over 25 years of experience in her field.

Ben Seebaugh is the vice president of the WVU Student Government Association and a senior political science student. He is also a training specialist for the Zero Tolerance Research Project at the WVU School of Public Health.

Wheatly is excited to sit down with her fellow panelists and discuss their views on Leaning In. She thinks the conversation is a perfect fit for Diversity Week.

“We often think of diversity in terms of identity categories,” she said “But there’s also this fascinating diversity of experience that we’ve all had, and ways in which we’ve either fought against being categorized or leveraged our identity to help us along our chosen path.

That’s the really beautiful thing about the diversity at this university – it’s everywhere you look.”

Participants who attend this event will be eligible for the Diversity Week Drawing!

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you often find yourself in no-win situations.

Misunderstandings surround you.

Work on your clarity, and be conscious of meetings and times. Remain authentic, and you will feel better. If you are single, you might experience some difficulty transforming a dating situation into a more intimate relationship. Do not get frustrated. Time will prove what is valid. If you are attached, communication between you and your sweetie might not be as in sync as it previously has been. You learned to listen to each other once, and you can do it again.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You could be as clear as a bell, but you still will witness a lot of confusion. Your intuition will counter

what you are hearing. You might become irritated and angry as a result of this misunderstanding. Know that everyone is human. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Be aware of the cost of not being as thorough as you could be in a certain area of your life. You might feel as if a risk is worth taking. Make sure you look at the worst-case scenario before you commit. You’ll be less likely to make a mistake. Tonight: Run errands on the way home.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HH You’ll be ready to proceed full throttle, but you could get tripped up by a misunderstanding. You are slightly accidentprone, and you might not be ready to take off on a physical jaunt. Relax, and choose to do only what feels right. Tonight: As you like it.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HH You might think one way, but within hours, you could reverse your direction. The elements of indecision and confusion easily could mark your day, if not the next few weeks. Try to give yourself some space to figure out what you want. Tonight: Start thinking about Halloween.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HH Confusion starts right now, whether it is around you or within you. Be as succinct as possible. Your diligence will keep you out of trouble. Use caution and good sense before spending money or committing to any investments. Tonight: See through the obvious.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Your anger flares easily. The issue is how you handle it. Somehow you could be involved with a misunder-

standing today or in the near future.

No one likes being misrepresented. A partner or associate will seem vested in not getting it. Tonight: Claim your power.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You are all smiles, no matter which way you look at a personal matter. At this moment, you will want to detach to gain a new perspective. Don’t let this attitude undermine being supportive. Confirm meetings and times.

Tonight: Release any tension through exercise.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Deal with a partner directly. Even if some tension ensues, know that you have done better than anyone else could.

Your imagination might conjure up a lot of reasons for the problem that might not be grounded. Let them go.

Tonight: Even if it is Monday, go let off

some steam.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Defer to others, as your perspective might not be heard at the present time. A boss or someone you look up to could be cantankerous and touchy. Meanwhile, you could be thinking in other terms and not connecting. Tonight: Go along with someone’s suggestion.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Stay focused on what you are doing. Confirm all plans. Misunderstandings easily can happen. Understand your limits. Let your creativity emerge in a discussion. Know that your message might not be digested and understood by everyone. Tonight: Be diplomatic.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH While others are in the

midst of confusion, you seem to carry on with the playfulness of the weekend. Your easygoing attitude might help you, but it could aggravate someone close. Be as clear as you can be about plans. Others will be touchy. Tonight: Deal with someone’s ire.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HH Defer to others as much as you want.

Confusion surrounds a partner’s feelings. This person might not be as clear as he or she should be, and you might not be able to read between the lines. In fact, you most likely are seeing only what you want to see. Tonight: Stay close to home.

Mountaineer Idol eliminates two by nicole curtin A&e writer @dailyathenaeum

The Mountainlair Ballrooms were filled with the sounds of Motown as the final five contestants competed for the next round of Mountaineer Idol Friday, which was sponsored by the Mountaineer Maniacs and Autism Speaks U. Skip Smith, Farah Famouri, Sadiyyah Owens, Scott Link and Paige Madden all performed a song from Motown and Broadway.

The panel of five judges evaluated the contestants’ vocal performance, song selection and stage presence to see who would advance to the final round.

The judges were Shirley Robinson, Katelyn Gates (Miss West Virginia 2012), Kevin Hamric (faculty talent show winner), Carlton Smith (winner of Mountaineer Idol 2005), and Dillon Tucker (an athletic councilor for SGA and representative for the Maniacs).

Skip Smith started off the show with “Ain’t to Proud to Beg” by The Temptations. The Motown songs continued with tunes like “Dream Lover” by Bobby

Darrin and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by The Temptations.

There was a brief intermission while contestants changed for their Broadway performances, during which Holly Hunsberger took the stage to perform the Broadway classic “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from “Funny Girl.”

The contestants performed a range of show tunes, including “I Dreamed a Dream” from “Les Miserables” and “When You’re Good to Mama” from “Chicago.”

Guest judge Dillon Tucker said he thought out of all of the different kinds of performance, the vocal performance was the most important.

“My thought on the competition is that they should all show off their voice, and (in) some songs they didn’t; they only hit a big note at the end,” Tucker said. “Other than that I thought they did outstanding; they all have beautiful voices.”

The top three contestants to advance to the final round with the guarantee of a cash prize were Sadiyyah Owens, Skip Smith and Paige Madden.

Last year Madden finished in the top five but did

“I’m really surprised. I didn’t expect to get that far, so now I’ve got to mentally prepare myself and get ready,” she said. “Everybody did fantastic; any of us could have made it to the top three and would have deserved it.”

Scott Link, who was

eliminated this round, said he supports the top three contestants.

“I’m really excited for those three; we were like a tight knit family and all five of us were bummed that someone was getting cut this week,” Link said. “But I’m really proud of the people that made it; it could have went to anyone.”

Anthony Braxton, an SGA

governor, had been coming to watch Idol for Farah Famouri, who is also involved with SGA. “It’s a really great show to see the performances and have the Maniacs out here with Autism Speaks U doing charitable works,” he said. “It’s also an opportunity to see students at this University sing and be able to come out and support them.”

Cory Dobson/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

With only three contestants remaining, the final show will take place Sunday, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m. at the Metropolitan Theater on High Street. The show will feature guest performers and one song each from the top 15 in addition to the singoff for the title of Mountaineer Idol. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Pusha T, Travis Porter, local artists pack Tunez & Cue by amit batra sports editor @batra01

Musical artists Pusha T and Travis Porter entertained West Virginia University students and Morgantown residents Saturday night at Tunez & Cue. Lil Scrappy, originally slated for the lineup, was unable to make the trip to Morgantown.

The Homecoming Concert featured performances

by Styles P and DJ Whoo Kid. The concert, an all ages show in Morgantown, featured veteran rapper Pusha T, who delivered hits from his new album “My Name is My Name.”

Pusha T, formerly one half of the Virginia rap duo Clipse, made his debut appearance in Morgantown, while Travis Porter returned following his

stint at FallFest in 2012.

After the doors opened at 7 p.m., Morgantown sensation and local performer DJ Yemi got the show going by mixing songs from Drake’s new album “Nothing Was The Same” and other hits.

The first set was by a New York duo featuring aspiring hip-hop artist Tommy 2 Face.

They performed the song “Sky High” and other jams to get the show going.

Following a short intermission, Travis Porter delivered five songs that brought the crowd at Tunez & Cue to their feet.

The Decatur, Ga., native played most of his hit songs including “Bring it Back,” “Make it Rain” and “Ayy Ladies.”

Following the set by Travis Porter, Pusha T delivered

a captivating performance for the Morgantown crowd.

Songs, such as hit “Millions,” “King Push” and “Blocka”, riled up the audience to watch the rising star and talent who is signed to Kanye West’s GOOD Music label.

DJ Yemi said he feels artists such as Pusha T and Travis Porter are good for the Morgantown area and he feels honored to open for such talents.

“It means a lot to Morgantown to get live performances,” he said. “It’s good to go to a club and hear a DJ, but to hear people live that you see on TV, that you see on YouTube and that you hear on CD, it’s always great to hear them live.

“It means a lot (to open for them.) It means that hard work pays off. You can open

up for a local guy and then you can end up opening for a big artist such as Travis Porter. It’s awesome to be able to do that. It just means that your hard work is paying off and people are seeing that.”

DJ Yemi said having artists like Travis Porter and Pusha T perform in a smaller venue in Morgantown could help bring other top talents in the future.

“Obviously Travis Porter and Pusha T saw the beauty and greatness of Morgantown and West Virginia,” Yemi said. “For them to see it, they’ll obviously talk to other people. If they had a great time in Morgantown, that means other big artists such as them will come in the future.” amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

English Department reading features esteemed author Beverly Donofrio

by Carly smith a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Attendees enjoy Donofrio’s reading Thursday.

Author Beverly Donofrio opened up about her newest memoir “Astonished: A Story of Evil, Blessings, Grace, and Solace” Thursday at the Downtown Campus Library.

Donofrio is best known for her first memoir, “Riding in Cars With Boys.”

The memoir explains her

journey through drinking, drugs and teenage pregnancy that led her to earn a master’s degree in creative writing.

“Riding In Cars With Boys” has been translated into sixteen languages and was made into a motion picture starring Drew Barrymore and Br ittany Murphy in 2001.

Donofrio’s second memoir, “Looking For Mary,” leads readers through her

experience on a quest of loving God and receiving forgiveness from her son for being a young, inexperienced mother. “Looking For Mary” was chosen as a Discover Book at Barnes and Noble.

The reading Thursday included passages from her newest memoir, in which she outlined her experience of being raped and how joining a monastery helped her move forward with her

life through God. “I’m a serial memoirist,” Donofrio said. “Basically, what has to happen for me to write a memoir is something horrible.”

Donofrio read a chapter from “Astonished” and answered questions from the audience afterward.

She opened up about how she faced her rapist and how it changed her life. She also shared her wisdom about how she came to terms with evil in the world.

“Maybe evil isn’t a bad thing,” Donofrio said.

“It certainly wasn’t a bad thing in my life. In the end, it gave me the best years of my life.”

D o n o f r i o’s tell-all personality struck an emotional note with the audience at her reading.

“I was so impressed with her honesty,” said Daryn Vucelik, a senior public relations student. “She was so open and had me laughing and about to cry.”

Donofrio has written two children’s books, “Thank You, Lucky Stars” and “Mary and the Mouse, the Mouse and Mary.”

She is expected to release a third children’s book this year.

She is also an awardwinning radio documentarian and her work has been broadcast on programs including All Things Considered.

Donofrio has written personal essays that have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, O magazine, Allure magazine and Marie Claire magazine. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb scrambles away from the West Virginia defense.

No. 16 Texas Tech escapes Morgantown with 37-27 win after late score ends Mountaineers’ upset bid by doug walp sports writer @dailyathenaeum

With a chance to notch its second upset against a ranked team in its last three games, West Virginia fell short during Saturday’s homecoming game at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Despite leading No. 16 Texas Tech (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) by two possessions in the fourth quarter, the Moun-

taineers (3-4, 1-3 Big 12) were held scoreless in the game’s final quarter and eventually fell 37-27.

“They played harder and called better plays,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “We got better offensively, but it was in spurts. When you end the game with five three-and-outs, I think everyone can agree that it was as bad as you can get offensively at the most crucial

time in the game.”

After the game, Holgorsen told reporters he was satisfied with his players’ effort in the loss, just not their overall will to win.

“The effort was fine,” Holgorsen said. “The will to win was not there. You could see it on the sidelines. Fourth quarter, when we’re up 13 points, we didn’t have the will to knock them out, and that’s disappointing. They had

the will to win a little more than we did and that starts with me.”

The Mountaineers could have had a chance to tie the game when they got the ball back with less than a minute in the fourth quarter if they had attempted what would have been a 43yard field goal in the first quarter.

Instead, the Mountaineers unsuccessfully tried a desperation heave against

man coverage on fourthand-14. Holgorsen said after the game he regretted the decision to not go for the points.

“I do regret that decision. I should have kicked it,” Holgorsen said. “My thinking at that point was I just felt good about moving the ball. We were moving the ball and then the penalties just kept backing us up.

And I just saw them take it right down and score two

times in a row, so I figured that touchdowns were going to be important. It was not the correct decision.”

The Mountaineers are still three wins away from bowl eligibility with just five games left.

Webb, Amaro too much for WVU Morgantown Beauty

College All work done by supervised students

Brows & Blowouts benefiting Breast Cancer Awareness Texas Tech tight end Jace Amaro runs upfield.

by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

Coming into Saturday’s game, the Texas Tech offense was averaging 408.8 passing yards a game – good enough to be ranked the No. 3 passing offense in the nation.

Despite injuries to quarterbacks Michael Brewer and Baker Mayfield, the Texas Tech passing offense didn’t miss a beat Saturday as freshman Davis Webb stepped in and threw for 462 yards and two touchdowns during No. 16 Texas Tech’s come from behind 3727 win over West Virginia in Morgantown.

In his first start on the road, Webb became the first Texas Tech quarterback to throw for more than 400 yards in his first two starts.

With a three-point lead and time running out, head coach Kliff Kingsbury decided to forego running the clock out; instead, the firstyear head coach put the game in the hands of his freshman quarterback.

Kingsbury was rewarded as Webb found tight end Jace Amaro in the endzone for a 10-yard touchdown that gave Texas Tech a 37-27 lead

and all but ended the game.

“We talk about it all the time; fortune favors the bold so we’re going to go try to win the game,” Kingsbury said. “We knew we had good looks, we knew we were getting one-on-ones with Jace (Amaro) and it was just up to (Webb) to make good throws, and most of the day he did.”

“It just shows how much trust he has in our receivers, quarterbacks and offensive line,” Amaro said. “(Kingsbury) knows we have great playmakers out there, and he saw the middle of the field wide open.

The middle linebacker tried jamming me up down the middle and he couldn’t handle it.”

After his first two starts at the collegiate level, Webb has led the Red Raiders to two Big 12 wins while throwing for 877 yards and five touchdowns with one interception.

“He’s always had the ability. When he didn’t get the nod in the first game, it kicked him into overdrive as far as determination (and) his work ethic,” Kingsbury said.

“The more reps he gets, it seems the better he gets. I’m

*This special not valid with any other special

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

just really proud of him overcoming the beginning of the year, not getting the nod and that’s what you’re supposed to do as an athlete.”

Amaro was one of Webb’s favorite targets on the day.

The San Antonio native caught nine passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns.

Saturday marked the third time in 2013 Amaro has totaled more than 100 receiving yards in a game.

In 2012, Amaro had another big game against West Virginia, catching five passes for 156 yards and a touchdown as Texas Tech upset No. 5 West Virginia in Lubbock, Texas.

“Coach Kingsbury had a great plan for me. Last year was similar to that. They kind of just put me in space last season and this season (was) the same way,” Amaro said.

Although they are now 7-0 and figure to climb in the top 25 poll, some still question how good the Red Raiders are. Kingsbury, Amaro and Webb have their next chance to prove themselves Oct. 26 when they take on the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Okla. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Football

WVU outplayed in key moments Saturday by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia football team built, erased and eventually wasted a double-digit lead Saturday, losing at home to Texas Tech by a score of 37-27.

The Mountaineers held a 27-16 lead in the second half, but the Red Raiders scored 21 unanswered points and sealed the victory with a late touchdown pass.

“We refused to make a play on offense, defense or special teams in the last quarter and a half,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. “We refused to coach well enough to win the game. That will be addressed.”

West Virginia started quarterback Clint Trickett for the third straight game, making him the first of the team’s three quarterbacks to do so in 2013, and finished 27-for-42 with 254 yards and a touchdown.

West Virginia found the endzone on its first two

drives of the second half, and led 27-16 with 2:48 left in the third quarter.

WVU’s next four drives resulted in 26 total yards and four consecutive threeand-outs. Their fifth drive ended in a turnover on downs.

The Red Raiders entered the game No. 3 nationally in passing offense and No. 6 in total offense. They finished with 573 yards and converted on nine on their 15 third downs. The Mountaineers finished with 437 total yards and two touchdowns from running back Dreamius Smith.

“They played harder and called better plays,” Holgorsen said. “We called the same plays we did in the last quarter and a half than we did in the first two and a half quarters.

The first quarter was bad and the fourth quarter was awful.”

Th e Mou nt a i n e e rs dropped to 3-4 on the season and 1-3 in Big 12 Conference play, while the Red Raiders improved to

7-0 and 4-0 against conference opponents. A win against Texas Tech, who was No. 16 coming into the game, would’ve been a big boost for WVU’s postseason bowl chances.

“When things got tough, we didn’t have anyone who could make a play,” said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson.

The Red Raiders regained the lead on an 84yard drive by quarterback Davis Webb and extended their lead to 10 with 1:01 left in the game. Texas Tech scored three touchdowns on their final five drives.

“We got better offensively, but it was in spurts,” Holgorsen said.

“When you end the game with five three-and-outs, I think everyone can agree that it was as bad as you can get offensively at the most crucial time in the game.”

The Red Raiders are now 2-1 all-time against mel moraes/the daily athenaeum the Mountaineers.

Mountaineers lose dual meet at Penn State Amit Batra

DA STAFF @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams both lost in a dual meet at Penn State’s McCoy Natatorium in University Park, Pa. Friday.

The final scores were 161-127 for the men and 152-102 for the women.

Despite the scoreboard, the meet did have its bright spots for both teams, with multiple athletes setting new season-best and roadbest times.

“Though it was hard to see, we had good races today. There were a lot of in-season-best times and road-best times,” said men’s and women’s head coach Vic Riggs. “We raced hard and obviously we

wish we would have been more competitive, but overall there were more bright spots than not.”

Two experienced divers carried the load for the diving team: Junior Haily VandePoel and senior Liam McLaughlin placed first in both of their categories. VandePoel scored 285.22 on the 1-meter and a 300.8 on the 3-meter, while McLaughlin posted a 284.47 on the 1-meter and a 324.75 on the 3-meter.

The dual meet was bookended by a pair of relays.

The first event was the 200 medley relay. The women’s A team comprised of sophomore Jaimee Gillmore, junior Jenelle Zee, junior Julie Ogden and junior Courtney Parenti. They finished with a time of 1:46.68.

The men’s A team, comprised of senior Bryce Bohman, junior Christopher Brill, junior Julien

Vialette and junior Tim Squires, finished with a time of 1:30.98.

The men’s B team of senior Jake Querciagrossa, junior Max Spencer, sophomore Chase Williams and sophomore Andrew Marsh finished with a time of 1:35.04.

The last event was the 400 free relay. The women’s A team of Parenti, Ogden, Gillmore and senior Eva Burlingham finished with a time of 3:37.72. For the men, the A team of Squires, Vialette, Marsh and sophomore Ross Glegg finished with a time of 3:04.18, while the B team of Williams, sophomore Jay Hickey, sophomore Jake Iotte, and freshman Nate Carr finished at 3:13.56.

In the 1,000-meter free, freshman Emma Skelley came in No. 2 for the women with a time of 10:17.09. Junior Daeton Davenport

placed No. 4 (9:46.03) and freshman Philip Fossee placed No. 5 (9:55.47) for the men’s team.

Glegg placed No. 4 (1:41.54) and Carr placed No. 5 (1:42.46) in the men’s 200 free.

Bohman placed No. 3 with a time of 48.73 and Querciagrossa placed No. 4 with a time of 51.54 in the men’s 100 back.

Zee came in No. 4 with a time of 1:05.25 in the women’s 100 breast.

Brill came in No. 3 with a time of 57.92 in the men’s 100 breast.

Ogden placed No. 4 with a time of 2:05.46 in the 200 fly.

In the 50 free, Gillmore placed No. 5 (24.22) and Parenti took No. 6 (24.24) for the women, while Squires finished No. 3 (20.55), Glegg finished No. 5 (20.93) and Vialette finished No. 6 (21.03) for the

men’s team.

In the 100 free, Gillmore came in No. 5 (52.76) and Parenti took No. 6 (53.39) for the women, while Squires and Glegg finished No. 3 (46.55) and No. 5 (46.75), respectively, for the men.

In the men’s 200 back, Bohman finished No. 2 with a time of 1:47.93, while Hickey and Querciagrossa came in No. 5 (1:53.07) and No. 6 (1:53.70), respectively.

In the 200 breast, Zee took No. 3 (2:26.48) and sophomore Morgan Emter finished No. 6 for the women, while Carr and Brill placed No. 2 (2:07.63) and No. 3 (2:08.16), respectively, for the men.

The teams will have a chance to get back on track next weekend when they host the WVU Invite Friday and Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

men’s basketball

West Virginia completes Gold and Blue Debut by doug walp sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Fans of West Virginia basketball got their first official look at the 201314 edition of the men’s team Friday night at the Mountaineers’ annual Gold and Blue Debut at the WVU Coliseum.

The game itself, which was more of a inter-squad scrimmage, was originally planned to be played with four 10-minute quarters, but ended up lasting just three 10-minute periods instead. It was officiated but had a constantly running clock.

The Blue Team featured Jonathan Holton, James Long, Devin Williams, Gary Browne and Terry Henderson as starters and defeated the Gold Team 41-32. The Gold

Team’s starters were Eron Harris, Nathan Adrian, Kevin Noreen, Brandon Watkins and Juwan Staten.

Tyrone Hughes, Chase Connor and Richard Romeo also saw action as backups. Remi Dibo was officially listed as part of the Gold Team but was introduced on crutches.

Earlier in the day, the coaching staff announced Dibo had successfully undergone surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus.

Dibo is only expected to miss two to three weeks, according to the school.

Elijah Macon, who has a wrist injury and has also been declared ineligible to play in 2013-14, was not able to participate.

Holton, who could be facing a similar fate with concerns about his eligibility still swirling, had

been cleared to participate in team practices and was able to suit up and participate in Friday’s game.

Holton finished with 11 points and 15 rebounds, and his teammate, Browne, nearly had a double-double of his own, with nine points and 12 rebounds. On the other side, Adrian was the only scorer to reach doublefigures with 10, which included two 3-point shots.

Neither side shot better than 33 percent from the field, and the teams combined to go just 6-37 from long range.

The shooting woes in the preseason scrimmage surprised head coach Bob Huggins, but he said it didn’t necessarily concern him.

“Three of 19 for one team and 3 for 18 for the

other team, that’s not very good,” Huggins said.

“But I think we’re going to make shots. I think that Eron Harris and Terry Henderson and Nate Adrian shoot it too well to have very many nights where we’re 3 for 19. We have to do a better job of running offense.”

Before the game, Harris, Henderson and newcomer Hughes also participated in a dunk contest.

Henderson, the Mountaineers’ fourth leading scorer from a year ago – who is actually known for his 3-point shooting ability – eventually won the contest and brought the crowd to its feet with 10s across the board from the judges. Henderson completed a reverse dunk, a two-handed windmill jam and then jumped over the

point guard Browne in his final dunk.

The pregame ceremony also featured West Virginia legend Rod “Hot Rod” Hundley, who received a standing ovation when he was introduced before the game, as well as highlight videos and the Mountaineers’ customary tradition of “rolling out the carpet” to introduce the players.

Throughout the game, fans were treated to appearances from the WVU pep band, the cheerleaders and the dance team.

After the game, there was an autograph session on the floor of the WVU Coliseum for the fans.

West Virginia’s next exhibition is a closed scrimmage next weekend against Ohio State. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

men’s soccer

Bevin, WVU earn much-needed result against Georgia State by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia men’s soccer team was nearly washed and blown away by some brutal elements provided by Mother Nature, but it still managed to defeat visiting Georgia State 1-0 Saturday night at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

Rain and heavy wind played a large part in the match, but Andy Bevin’s goal in the 69th minute was the difference that sent the Mountaineers back to an even 6-6-2 record. The goal was the seventh of the season for Bevin, who leads the team and Mid-American Con-

ference in that category.

Bevin beat Georgia State goalkeeper C.J. Cochran near-post and nailed a shot into a difficult angle to give the Mountaineers the lead. The lone score was all WVU would need as the defense forced the Panthers to turn the ball over and limited their offensive opportunities in the second half.

“I said to the boys that for once, the slipper is on the other foot, because we didn’t play very well tonight, but we got the win,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “We’ve played really well at times this season and not gotten a result out of it. We got the result; we got the goal we needed.”

West Virginia out-

shot Georgia State 16-11, but had only three shots on goal compared to the Panthers’ six. Junior goalkeeper Lee Johnston made all six saves, earning his sixth victory and third shutout on the season.

The loss sent the Panthers to 5-7-1 for the season.

The victory was a muchneeded result for the Mountaineers after they drew to High Point earlier in the week and lost to Hartwick last weekend.

Five of West Virginia’s six losses have come by just one goal.

The Mountaineers were in a bit of a goal-scoring funk entering Saturday’s contest. The team had scored just one goal in their last two matches.

Bevin followed suit, scor-

ing just twice in the last eight games.

“I think (Bevin) needed to get a goal tonight,” LeBlanc said. “We’re 3-1-1 in our last five games. Hopefully, we’re getting hot right now, and it’s the right time of year to get hot.

We’ll see if we can go on a little bit of a run.”

West Virginia will close out its non-conference slate Tuesday when the team travels to take on American University.

The team will re-enter MAC play next weekend at home against Western Michigan. LeBlanc believes every match is important to earn a result at this point in the season.

“We need all of them.

We needed this one, we need the next one, we

Texas Tech proved to be better team in crucial moments It’s difficult to grasp what really transpired Saturday afternoon when West Virginia fell to Texas Tech, 37-27.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen said it wasn’t really a matter of effort, but the will to win.

Well, I’m not sure I completely understand the difference between the two.

For two and a half quarters, Texas Tech was able to have more fight and passion to win this game, according to Holgorsen.

Did the Mountaineers get too relaxed when they went up by two possessions midthird quarter? It appeared so, to some extent, but at the same time, Texas Tech was able to effectively move the ball when they needed to.

Ending the game with multiple three-and-outs won’t help your case. WVU could and should have won this game, but at the most crucial times, it resembled the same football game everyone is getting accustomed to. When it comes down to it, consistency is what will win or lose you a football game.

The West Virginia offense showed poise and had the best tempo all season. You could just sense something clicked a bit more on that side of the ball. Don’t get me wrong, though, it wasn’t always pretty.

Holgorsen said this was a game West Virginia should have won. While I do agree with that, it could also be a game the Mountaineers absolutely needed to have for their bowl chances. Why? Well, because WVU has looked like a different team on the road. And that team, granted the difficult competition, hasn’t been as good as the one we’ve seen at home.

Holgorsen blamed himself for WVU not having the will to win. Texas Tech may not have had more effort, but the Red Raiders were able to execute when they needed to. Whether it needed a first down or just had to make a key stop on defense, Texas Tech won the game based on better execution.

At one point, WVU outscored TTU 27-3. Texas Tech, however, scored the final 21 points of the game en route to the 10-point victory. It wasn’t a matter of will or effort, but simply better playmaking and execution.

Excuses could be made across the board that further support why WVU lost against Texas Tech. Did it get too relaxed going into the final 15 minutes of action?

Sure, it’s quite a possible. But at the same time, Texas Tech proved why it’s a top 15 program and why it’s probably the second best team in the Big 12 Conference.

I don’t necessarily buy into West Virginia giving this game away. Yes, it certainly was winnable, like basically every game from here on out in my eyes, but the Mountaineers simply couldn’t stop the Red Raiders’ playmakers such as tight end Jace Amaro and wide receiver Brad Marquez. Amaro, who defensive coordinator Keith Patterson called a “match up nightmare,” had nine receptions for 136 yards and two touchdowns, while Marquez hauled in eight balls for 112 yards receiving.

Many players said this loss hurt more than the blowout to Baylor in Waco, Texas Oct. 5. The effort and heart were there, but, the execution in key situations was not.

Safety Darwin Cook said there is indeed a distinction between effort and the will to win. That was evident to him Saturday.

“I mean, you can sense it,” Cook said. “Effort is just run to the ball and act like you’re giving effort, but the will to win is just the feeling and just the momentum that you can just swing games. You can just feel it.”

You can be the judge of what happened Saturday in West Virginia’s loss to Texas Tech. Whether it was the will to win, effort or just simply execution, Texas Tech was just flat out the better team when it needed to be.

Mountaineers drop three of four sets in loss to Kansas by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The Big 12 Conference woes continued for the West Virginia volleyball team (165, 2-4 Big 12) when the No. 23 Kansas Jayhawks (16-4, 6-1 Big 12) handed the Mountaineers their third consecutive conference loss in four sets, (28-26, 24-26, 17-25, 22-25) in front of 784 fans in the WVU Coliseum Saturday night.

Three different Mountaineers recorded double-doubles in the losing effort, including sophomore setter Brittany Sample who posted her sixth of the season by dishing out 46 assists and recording 12 digs. Outside hitter Jordan Anderson’s 19 kills on the night were a new career high for the Flower Mound, Texas native. She also chipped in 11 digs. WVU’s other outside hitter, sophomore Nikki Attea, finished only two blocks short to record the first triple-

double in school history. Attea finished her night with 13 kills and 10 digs against the Jayhawks.

“This was a tough one; I think the first two sets were some of the best volleyball that we’ve played since I’ve been here. It was really competitive,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “I saw a lot of great play.”

WVU came out strong in the first set by holding the Jayhawks to a .208 hitting percentage while the Mountaineers hit .271 as a team. Sample’s 14 assists brought her team to 19 total kills in the first set which helped edge out a late Kansas run.

West Virginia carried its momentum into the second and even managed to hold a 22-16 late in the set. Consecutive blocks by Kansas’ Caroline Jarmoc closed the gap to 21-23 which forced Kramer to call her final timeout of the set. After the break Sample connected with sopho-

more Hannah Sackett to her team set point at 24-21. The Mountaineers would squander their lead by allowing Kansas to earn the last five consecutive points.

“We came out flat in the third and turned it on in the fourth, but it was just too little too late. It goes back to the same thing – we’ve got to learn to close out sets. We were in a situation to go into the locker room 2-0 and couldn’t quite get it done. We just have to keep getting better,” Kramer said.

Kansas continued to build on its lead in the third set by jumping out to an early 19-8 lead. Erin McNorton’s 11 assists and Chelsea Albers’ four blocks proved to be too much as they clinched the set 25-17.

With another conference game on the line, the Mountaineers sprinted out to a 4-0 start behind two kills from Anderson. Chelsea Albers responded for the Jayhawks by recording two consecu-

tive blocks to again bring the match within one point.

Both teams continued to battle throughout the third set. The Mountaineers would let another chance to close out the Jayhawks slip away from them by allowing Kansas to come back from 2220. Kansas would go on a 3-0 run to clinch the match and hand WVU its fourth conference loss.

“I feel like we were really focused and ready to go.

We did a good job of playing point-for-point,” Kramer said.

Silva leads West Virginia to 2-0 victory over Kansas by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 6 West Virginia University women’s soccer team extended their win streak to 8 after defeating Kansas 2-0 Friday night in Morgantown.

The Mountaineers knew there was a lot more than a win on the line for the seniors Friday night; a Big 12 regular season title is still up for grabs.

“It’s definitely the ideal situation, getting a win on senior day and also a shutout. We were playing for a lot more than just a win for the seniors tonight,” said senior goalkeeper Sara Keane.

Senior forward Frances Silva earned a goal and an assist, while Keane earned a shutout win on Senior Night.

Silva tallied her 11th goal of the season and her 12th assist on the season, which ties her with associate head coach Lisa Stoia (2003) and

former Mountaineer Kim Bonilla (2006) for the WVU single-season assist record.

Friday night was the sixth shutout win this season for Keane and 44th overall for her career at WVU. She remains No. 4 in the Mountaineer all-time record book.

“Tonight was so awesome for me because Frances got a goal and an assist, and Sara earned the shutout; you couldn’t write the story any better,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

Kansas and WVU came out attacking early.

The Mountaineers didn’t waste any time on offense, scoring two goals in the first 15 minutes of the match.

“It’s always important to get out early and put pressure on a great team like Kansas. For us to go out there and put two scores on them early really says a lot about the girls and what this team wanted to accomplish tonight,” Izzo-Brown said.

Sophomore forward Kelsie Maloney scored in the 10th minute. Silva recorded an assist after playing the ball forward to Maloney, who sent the ball past KU’s Kaitlyn Stroud from seven yards out.

Maloney is the youngest starting forward for the Mountaineers. She has quietly had an impressive year, tallying six goals and four assists through 16 games.

“You can’t take anything away from all three of our forwards, because they each bring something different to the field,” IzzoBrown said. “There’s a lot of attention placed on Frances and (Kate) Schwindel, but you have to worry about Kelsie Maloney, too.”

Silva solidified the win when she scored in the 14th minute off an assist from sophomore defender Cari Price.

Silva said she was hoping to score in her final home game.

“I kept hoping I would

get the goal,” she said. “It was definitely something I thought about before the game.”

WVU earned a 15-6 shot advantage against Kansas Friday night. Junior forward Kate Schwindel recorded a game-high eight shots, including four shotson-goal. The Mountaineers also earned a four to two corner kick advantage.

Stroud made five saves Friday night, while Keane made two in the win.

“We wanted to get the shutout for Sara. I can score, she doesn’t score and she gets shutouts so it was big for us to get that for her on her Senior Night also. I think all around it was a big offensive and defensive effort for the team,” Silva said.

The Mountaineers have two more games in the regular season. They face Oklahoma and Texas Tech next weekend on the road. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
