Media College presents Hackathon by courtney gatto staff writer @dailyathenaeum

This weekend, the West Virginia University Reed College of Media will present “Hack the Gender Gap: A Women’s Hackathon on Wearables.” “Hackathon is a term that comes from the technology industry,” said Maryanne Reed, Dean of the Reed College of Media. “It’s when people come together for a concentrated time to develop a product, a prototype or, in this case, a solution or a use case.” The College of Media has partnered with PBS MediaShift to create this event. Women from multiple departments at WVU as well as from multiple universities around the country

will be in attendance this weekend. The women will be divided into teams and assigned a mentor to assist them in creating their project. Their assignment will be to develop new solutions for wearable technology, like Apple Watches, Fitbit, Google Glass, etc., and create an innovative use case. “They’re not actually building anything,” said Reed. “But they’re coming up with concepts, and they’re coming up with a business plan.” The event will begin this evening with a symposium hosted at the Google Headquarters in Silicon Valley. The symposium will be comprised of a panel of female leaders in the technology industry. “The women that are

gathered here at the Hackathon will be watching the symposium in our new media innovation lab,” Reed said. “It will be web-cast live via Google Plus Hangouts, so they will be watching and interacting with the symposium.” The panel of women at the symposium will include: Amy Webb, CEO of Webbmedia Group and cofounder of Spark Camp; Jane Schachtel, Facebook’s global head of mobile and tech strategy; Laura Michelle Berman, co-inventor of Melon, a headband with biometric sensors to help improve productivity; Aminatou Sow, co-founder of Tech LadyMafia and product marketing manager at Google; Tasneem Raja, interactive editor at Mother Jones; Val Aurora,

co-founder of the Ada Initiative; and Anna Holmes, creator of Jezebel. On Saturday, Oct. 25, the teams will spend all day and night attending workshops and creating their use cases that they’ll present to a panel of judges Sunday. Reed and Dana Coester, professor at the Reed College of Media and creative director of the upcoming Media Innovation Center, agree that it is very important to engage women in conversations about technology because it is an area of industry in which women’s voices haven’t always been welcome. “This is a long-term issue about the absence of women voices in the technology industry. We are trying to address that head-on,” Coester said.

“Wearables are an emerging market, and anytime there is an emerging market, there are fewer voices in the market. If women get in, they have an opportunity to have a voice of influence.” Not only is this an advancement for women, but Reed also sees this hackathon as an advancement for the state of West Virginia as a whole. “We want to be part of that conversation, and we should be part of that conversation because there’s a lot going on here in our college, throughout the University and throughout the state,” Reed said. “Places like West Virginia are ripe for innovation and disruption. We’ve been absent from that conversation in the same way that

women have been absent in the conversation about technology.” The event has already created much excitement among the students. Jasmine Calderon, a senior strategic communications student, will be taking part in the hackathon this weekend and believes it is going to be a great event that will help the gender gap within the technology and media market. “It’s a great opportunity to network while learning from successful women in the business,” said Calderon. “I really look forward to working beside other women that have the same interest as I do in technology and seeing the results at the end of the competition.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

New 5k to focus on WVU, Students at WVU participate in Flow Arts Club, get in the zone uses only blue and gold

THE STATE OF FLOW

Students at West Virginia University know how to flow. The WVU Flow Arts Club, created during the 2013-14 school year, brings students together on a weekly basis to practice flow arts. Students in the club practice “being” as a state of flow, according to Alex Gold, a senior visual journalism student and vice president of the club. “We practice flow arts, which is based around the idea of the state of flow. This is a well-documented physiological phenomenon with characteristics which you must have to be in the state of flow,” Gold said. “It is close to being ‘on fire’ or ‘in the zone,’ and we achieve that through prop manipulation.” Some of the props used by the flow artist included hula hoops, fans and poi, which are objects attached to the ends of bands that are then spun by the artists. Some members also know how to use fire props, although they are unable to do so on campus or within city limits. Gold also said that besides attending the meetings, the club members are involved in the Morgantown community. “We have regular meetings, but it’s more like a meet up than a regular meeting. We also participate in events around campus,” he said. “This weekend we are doing family fun day in the Mountainlair.” Gold also noted that some of the more skilled members of the club have been invited to perform at places such as Kennywood amusement park and concerts.

The West Virginia University Flow Arts Club practices hula hooping and LED poi in the Gluck Theatre of the Mountainlair. Caitlin Santa Barbara, a sophomore biology student and president of the Flow Arts Club, said the group helps one another to improve upon their art and performance. “We come together and practice our flow art, we inspire and teach each other new things and just hang out pretty much,” Santa Barbara said. “We are trying to connect more with community things. We are going to do something with the Bartlett House and its Cardboard Box City. I was thinking about even doing a performance for fundraising.” Those in the club, which boasts more than 240 members on Facebook and a weekly attendance of 25-30 people, free flow to music in a group environment as a way to de-stress and take a step back from life. Santa Barbara stressed the impact the club has had on herself and the other members.

“For me personally, and for everyone else, it is a form of meditation. It is a really good way for us to relax with all of the stuff we have to go through,” she said. “It relaxes your inner psyche, it gives you something to focus on. Everyone has always commented that it gives them a portion of their week where they can come and just have a really good time with a bunch of their friends.” Chelsea Crum, a junior nursing student, said she enjoys the club as a break from her daily routine. “I saw a few girls hooping, and I was like, ‘That is cool, I must get into it,’ and after that I just picked up my first hoop,” Crum said. “Just the flow and being here, it is the best part of my week. I love flow arts because it is the one part of my week where I am not thinking about school, and it is kind of like a medita-

tion, you aren’t really thinking, just moving to the music.” Crum said she strongly encourages all students to come and check out the club and see what it has to offer. “We are a variety of people – hoopers, people who do poi, some people who have cool little fans,” Crum said. “Even if you are a super beginner, please, please come. It is super chill and just hanging out. Even if you don’t know how to hoop around your waist, please come check it out.” The WVU Flow Arts Club holds weekly meetings. For the winter months, it will meet at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays in the Gluck Theatere in the Mountainlair.

A new type of color run is headed to Morgantown. Color My College will be at West Virginia University to hold the first Color My College 5K fun-run 10 a.m. Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium. Unlike normal color runs, Color My College is the ultimate celebration of school spirit; only blue and gold colors will be used for the 5k. Students, WVU fans, faculty and professors are all encouraged to come out and celebrate Mountaineer spirit. Registration is $45 for runners and $35 for students with a valid student ID. Prices will rise on the day of the race to $50 per runner and $40 for students. Children who are age seven and younger can run for free. Founder Tonya Shuler said she is thrilled to bring Color My College to her home state of West Virginia. “In light of the more recent happenings in Morgantown, Color My College wants to bring an exciting experience to WVU while celebrating school spirit. This is a way to get outside and be active with friends while showing your Mountaineer pride in a positive way,” Shuler said. “Our mission is to bring the community together in a celebration of school spirit in a fun and healthy way.” Participants will get a free Color My College 5k logo T-shirt, a free color packet in either blue or gold other registration freebies. The celebration continues after the race with an after party including contests, giveaways, more color bombs and music by DJ Jason Knight from

WVAQ radio station. “I’ve ran in the color run before. I’m pumped to run Color My College because it’s all about school spirit, and it makes it even better that we are running it at our own football stadium,” said Lauren Petitt, a senior strategic communications student. Color My College also works with and donates a portion of every registration to a charity at every school they visit. This year they have partnered up with WVU Veterans’ Student Organization with help from Army ROTC, and proceeds will benefit their school-related activities and functions. “It’s a great opportunity for the organization, there has never really been a fundraising for the veterans on campus. We are always in need of funding so that is a positive benefit for us but it’s a positive benefit for the community to come out and learn about student veterans on the WVU campus and what they do,” said Jerry McCarthy, director of WVU Veteran Affairs. There will be a registration packet pickup stand outside of the Mountainlair from 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Friday. Students must bring their student ID and any type of identification for non-students. Color My College recommends that runners show up at least an hour early to find parking and find the way to the starting line. Additional color packets and clothing merchandise will be available to purchase on-site.

WVU sociology professor talks marriage equality in Mountain State by david schlake staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Marriage equality is now legal in the state of West Virginia, as Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced on Oct. 9 he would drop his fight against samesex couples. However, while couples can now be married, there is still a lot of work to do, according to the LGBT community. “We’re up to 30 states now where LGBT people can get married,” said Dan-

iel Brewster, a West Virginia University professor. “Now there are 20 more to go.” One thing Brewster stressed following Morrisey’s statement on Oct. 9 is the ability for couples to marry is a big step for the community. But there is more that has to happen before LGBT people will be truly equal. “I think it’s huge. It’s a monumental step forward, and it’s a greater validation of our inclusion and our citizenship that we’re now afforded some of the same

rights as other people. But at the same time, a couple could sign a lease for an apartment and be told they can’t live there because they’re gay,” Brewster said. “We have non-discrimination policies that protect minorities and women, but not LGBT people. It’s seen as if we choose this, but people choose their religion too, but you can’t discriminate on the basis of religion.” Brewster explained that because LGBT citizens aren’t protected by non-dis-

crimination policies, there are still many obstacles that they face as a group. “You can still be fired for being gay,” he said. “You can still be refused housing or the adoption of a child. Even though in many states people can get married, they can’t adopt a child, and they can’t start a family. A lot of people think that marriage equality is the only issue of substance that the LGBT people are looking at. But, when you can still be fired or refused a job for being gay, that’s a big deal

too.” Brown Holston, president of “OUTlaw,” an advocacy and support group associated with the WVU College of Law, reiterated much of what Brewster had to say, stating “there is still a lot of work to be done.” Holston said, “OUTlaw is a group that hopes to foster open communication and networking between gay and straight communities. Our purpose is to give people a better understanding of what we want.” Holston, a 25-year-old in

his third year of law school, stressed a mentality similar to that of Brewster. “We’re really excited that there has been this kind of activity,” he said. “But, we want to keep this momentum and keep moving forward.

Warren running for president? ‘I don’t think so’

Andy Nelson/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has her photo taken with a supporter of Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley near the end of a Merkley campaign rally, Monday, Oct. 6, 2014 on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Ore. It was Warren’s second visit to Oregon in support of the incumbent Merkley who is running against Republican Dr. Monica Wehby. WASHINGTON (AP) — Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren tends to stick to the script when she’s asked about a potential 2016 presidential campaign: “I am not running for president.” So her latest response has touched off new speculation about her future. When asked if she will run in 2016, the first-term Democrat and liberal favorite told People magazine, “I don’t think so.” In the unsettled early presidential derby, that’s a notable shift, and it has the political world abuzz. Former first lady, senator and

secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton is considering a bid and is seen as the early would-be favorite. But Warren’s populist views have made her a popular alternative in hypothetical matchups. But Warren’s team said Thursday that people shouldn’t read much into her comments. “Nothing has changed,” said Warren spokeswoman Lacey Rose. The first-term senator, a former Harvard Law professor, also said in the People interview released Wednesday that “if there’s any lesson I’ve learned in the last five years, it’s don’t

be so sure about what lies ahead. There are amazing doors that could open.” Warren has been a leading voice in the Senate on curbing Wall Street excess, allowing college students to refinance their loans and protecting Social Security and Medicare. Warren has said repeatedly that she’s not running for president. In the interview, she said of her relationship with Clinton, “We have talked. It’s not much more than that. Not much more.” The senator has played an active role on the campaign trail this year, help-

Democrats return in Ky. WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats’ official campaign arm and one of its largest outside allies on Wednesday reversed course in the Kentucky race and put campaign cash behind television ads for Alison Lundergan Grimes and her bid to oust Republican Mitch McConnell. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee last week stopped paying for television ads in Kentucky. McConnell’s campaign said it was a sign that Grimes was fal-

tering. The Democraticbacking Senate Majority PAC also quietly dropped off Kentucky airwaves last week. A Democratic committee official said Wednesday that new internal polling shows that undecided voters are breaking Grimes’ way. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee now says it will ask stations in Kentucky to set aside $650,000 in ad time. The committee official shared the plan with The Associated Press on

the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss media strategy. Soon after, Senate Majority PAC announced it, too, would return to Kentucky airwaves. It already has spent $4.4 million in ads criticizing McConnell, making Kentucky second only to the $7.8 million the group has spent in North Carolina. The group was still finalizing its ad buy in an already-saturated ad market, but was trying to spend at least as much as the DSCC.

ing fellow Democrats like Minnesota Sen. Al Franken, Colorado Sen. Mark Udall and Iowa Senate candidate Bruce Braley. Her appearances in Iowa last weekend drew enthusiastic crowds of people wearing T-shirts or stickers that said “Elizabeth Warren for President” or “Run Liz Run.” The timing offers some parallels to President Barack Obama, who said for much of 2006 that he would serve out his full six-year Senate term. In an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” — on Oct. 22, 2006 — Obama opened

the door to a 2008 presidential bid, saying he had “thought about the possibility” because of the positive response from fellow Democrats. Obama defeated Clinton in the 2008 primary campaign. Warren is scheduled to campaign Saturday in New Hampshire, home of the nation’s first presidential primary, with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. Shaheen faces former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican, who moved to the state after he was defeated by Warren in 2012. Some liberal groups

Three students expelled from WVU Yesterday, three West Virginia University students were expelled from the University for multiple offenses that took place Saturday evening after the win against Baylor. After University police continue to investigate and more people come forward, there will likely be more students who face consequences or expulsion. University-issued sanctions are completely independent of potential state and local criminal punishments the offenders could face. According to a press release, the University stated, “the expelled students, who were among 14 charged earlier this week by various local law enforcement agencies, were immediately prohibited from accessing University property and activities pending further

proceedings under the Student Conduct Code.” Although it is unclear who the three students are, the University urges anyone with further information regarding who committed acts of misconduct to call (304)-293-COPS or contact Laurie Burks at the University Police Department at Laurie.Burks@mail.wvu.edu. “We have made it clear that this University will hold students accountable for their unlawful behavior,” said WVU President E. Gordon Gee. “We will not allow individuals to remain enrolled who commit these crimes and damage the reputation and achievements of our faculty, staff, students, alumni and community.”

said the interest in Warren’s future shows how much her economic message resonates. “I believe Sen. Warren when she says she’s not running, but things certainly could change,” said Roger Hickey, co-founder of the Campaign for America’s Future, which Warren addressed in May. “If Hillary Clinton campaigns in a rightward direction on foreign policy or on economic issues or if Secretary Clinton decides not to run or stumbles badly, then there would be enormous support for Warren getting into the campaign.”

cording to Holston, is having a bill passed in West Virginia called EHNDA (Employment Housing Non-Discrimination Act), which would protect samesex couples from being discriminated against in regard to employment and housing. “Senate President Jeff Kessler will be introducing the bill to the senate, which bodes well for it being passed,” Holston said. “In the past, it has been difficult to get past the preliminary stages. But, with equality coming to West Virginia, and Kessler’s open support, we’re hoping that it will be passed.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Nationally touring comedians entertain students in Side Pocket By Farria AshfaQ Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum

The Mountainlair hosted its bi-weekly comedy club last night. This week did not disappoint. Mark Chalifoux took the stage first, and there was no lack of laughter during his set. Chalifoux has been featured on the IFC, in the Boston Comedy Festival, the Laughing Skull Comedy Festival and on Comcast’s “Trial by Laughter.” He has also written for CBS Digital’s “ManCave” and ESPN. Chalifoux was a journalism student at Ohio University and worked on newspa-

pers and on the radio for a while. “But, I love stand-up because you can practically just say whatever you want and no one judges you,” Chalifoux said. “There is nothing like hearing people laughing at your jokes. It is literally the greatest feeling in the world.” He expressed his concern for the fact that journalism is a hard profession to pursue. “I was always a big fan of comedy when I was younger. Like, I was always watching Comedy Central,” Chalifoux said. “Eventually, I met a guy on the radio station, and he showed me the ropes, and he sort

of gave me that shove that I needed.” Chalifoux has a wife and a 1-year-old daughter. “It is not easy being a father and a comedian for sure,” Chalifoux said, “because we had the baby when we were still living in New York. My wife worked, and I would watch the baby all day and, at night, I would go to the clubs and do a bunch of shows.” Chalifoux also participated in a big brother program as a teen and mentored a kid for 10 years. “It was great,” Chalifoux said. “I know I joke about it, but the kid was a really nice kid and it was one of those things I started in

high school, and then, I just never stopped, and I am still in contact with the kid today, so I am happy about that.” Being a more popular comedian gave Chalifoux the ability to attend high-profile events. “One experience that I will never forget was going to the Playboy Mansion,” Chalifoux said. “I honestly wasn’t going to go because at the time I was only engaged to my wife, but it was actually her that talked me into going, so it was a great night to say the least.” Rahmein Mostafavi was the last comedian to perform. During the set, Mosta-

favi focused on many stereotypes such as the misconception that all Middle Eastern Americans are terrorists, no matter what. He also dove into the fact that he doesn’t eat at Chick-fil-a due to the CEO’s open beliefs against homosexuality. But, he is able to make fun of the fact that, through all of those bad depictions of this company, it still has the best spicy chicken sandwich. “Mostafavi, definitely mixed it up in his set, and he pushed a lot of boundaries, which was cool,” said Donte Grahan, a sophomore sports, exercise and psychology student. Mostafavi did not leave

any race out; he talked of Asians, Native Americans, African-Americans, and Caucasians. “It was interesting because there was also an underlying message,” Grahan said, “like how we shouldn’t categorize people into these stereotypes.” Many comedians can be misunderstood when they talk about controversial topics, but Mostafavi was able to combine the best aspects of comedy to make a hysterical, tasteful set. The Side Pocket hosts Comedy Club two Thursdays each month. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Founder of Motown Records brings ‘Motown the Musical’ home to Detroit DETROIT (AP) — Berry Gordy Jr. took his “Motown the Musical” production to Broadway and a few other places first. Yet they were mere proving grounds for its date with Detroit. The Motown Records founder says his latest creation has sharpened its storytelling to match the songs, many originally recorded at Hitsville, U.S.A. That’s the former studio right down the street from the Fisher Theatre, the musical’s home for the next few weeks. “Bringing Motown to Motown is like the greatest gift in the world to me and I’m grateful for the fact that I’m even able to bring (the musical) to the place where I grew up,” Gordy told The Associated Press from inside the

former studio building that now houses the Motown Museum. “This place was where I was that crazy little kid running around with all these crazy dreams. Now I bring it back in all its full glory.” The 84-year-old was back in the real Motown this week for opening night. It’s where the label started in 1959, and scores of stars and hits were created, before it decamped for California in 1972. It was hard not to be moved by the energy in the theater Wednesday night, but that came as much from the talent offstage as on: Smokey Robinson sat a row in front of Gordy, Stevie Wonder two ahead of Martha Reeves. They and other Motown vets came onstage at the end to offer some heartfelt thanks and

for Wonder to trade verses on “I Wish” with his actor-counterpart, Elijah Ahmad Lewis. Likewise, Gordy is energized by the play’s success and excited to bring it to Detroit stronger, tighter and more focused than when it opened on Broadway early last year. More than 60 songs provide the groove and key guideposts for a story chronicling how his empire rose, fell and rose again. Highlights include “War,” “What’s Going On?” “My Girl” and “Dancing in the Street.” He’s flooded by memories in the museum, which once housed his apartment, office and studio. Some are prodded by pictures and artifacts featuring the Supremes, Wonder, Robinson, Michael Jackson and Marvin Gaye.

And moments that played out inside the building find their way into the play. Gordy recalls mourning in his office on the day President John F. Kennedy died. In storms Gaye, unaware of the news and angry that his song wasn’t getting proper promotion while the latest from the lighterskinned Smokey Robinson was. Things escalate: Gordy calls Gaye “boy,” the artist implies the Motown chief is a liar. They nearly come to blows, but Gordy manages to impart that this tragic day should be a reminder to focus on more important things. The story Gordy calls “completely true” becomes a powerful moment in the production. So he sought more

passion and even a touch of violence from Clifton Oliver, the actor playing him. Gordy said he shared a Motown principle with the cast - “You’ll always be successful if you tell the truth and make it entertaining.” Still, the truth can be dicey when dealing with old memories and fallen icons like Gaye, who can’t offer any counterpoint. But in creativity there’s conflict, and he wanted all sides to come through onstage. “I think about the fights and the arguments we had,” he said of the man once married to Gordy’s late sister, Anna Gordy Gaye. “Yet I’ve always said, `Marvin Gaye was the truest singer - the truest artist - I’ve ever known.’” Gordy’s jaunt down memory lane takes literal turns as

he walks through the museum. He passes the area now serving as a replica of his apartment down a narrow set of stairs he joked was once his getaway from bill collectors to the former Studio A. Behind him is the studio’s original Steinway grand piano, recently refurbished with money from former Beatle and Motown fan Paul McCartney. On the wall are classic photos of Motown stars in the same cramped studio. “I can’t believe that it’s this small,” Gordy says, echoing the words of tourists from across the globe when they enter some of pop culture’s most hallowed ground. He pauses and takes it all in. “So much stuff coming full circle. It’s amazing.”

New Mexico desires to recognize home of artist Luis Jimenez ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Artist Luis Jimenez is credited with helping transform the definition of public art in the U.S. with his larger-thanlife, debate-provoking fiberglass sculptures. Now, state preservation officials are pushing to get the home and studios of the late artist in southern New Mexico on the National Register of Historic Places after the sites were added to the state’s list of significant cultural properties earlier this week. “Even though his work is relatively recent, there’s really a consensus among art historians and museum curators and art critics on his importance in late 20th century American art,” said Steven Moffson, state and national register coordinator with the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division. New Mexico has forwarded the nomination to the National Park Service. A decision is expected before the end of the year. Known for his colorful and massive sculptures of Mexican cowboys, fiesta dancers and wild mustangs, Jimenez helped open the door for other Mexican-American artists. He was sought out by dozens of cities to create public

art and now he’s represented everywhere from a busy walkway at the University of New Mexico to the steps of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. Born the son of an awardwinning craftsman, Jimenez helped fabricate and paint the neon signs his father’s shop sold to businesses throughout the U.S. But it was the trips he took to Mexico City with his family when he was young that started his artistic wheels spinning. “He was always amazed how art was accessible to everyone,” said his widow, Susan Jimenez. “That really helped, I think, to form his opinion of art, that it doesn’t have to be locked up in a museum. It can be on the street and it can influence people in a positive way.” Jimenez found success with the New York gallery scene during the 1960s and became a master at blending his Mexican-American heritage with the political and social issues of the day. But it wasn’t until he moved back to the Southwest that he began creating his large sculptures. More than 40 cities have commissioned his art. Most of those works were

Jimenez and his wife converted a 1902 adobe school

house and New Deal-era gymnasium into their home. Two miles down the road was a separate property known as the Apple Shed, where he applied finishes to his monumental works. During his more than 20

years living and working in Hondo, Jimenez created nearly all his public sculptures in the studios, including “Sodbuster,” “Southwest Pieta,” “Border Crossing” and his largest and last piece, “Mustang,” a blue horse with fiery eyes that sits outside Denver International Airport. A portion of that sculpture fell in his studio and killed him in 2006. Susan Jimenez has left the studios much as they were when Jimenez was alive. “You walk through and see hundreds of paint cans and all the equipment for spraypainting and casting fiberglass molds. You see all the raw rolls of fiberglass. Even drums of raw clay are still there,” Moffson said. That’s rare, Moffson said, because most his-

toric and cultural properties date back several decades, if not centuries, and much of the materials and stories that were once inside the bricks and mortar are long gone. Jimenez taught at the University of Arizona and the University of Houston, mentoring many young artists along the way. Despite his rejections of labels such as Mexican-American, Chicano and Hispanic, his wife said he was proud of his heritage and liked to focus on depicting daily life. “My working-class roots have a lot to do with it,” Luis Jimenez said once during an interview. “I want to create a popular art that ordinary people can relate to as well as people who have degrees in art.”

EDITORIAL

We can redeem past behavior It’s been a long week in The Daily Athenaeum Newsroom. Whenever riots like these take place we have our hands full. It’s been almost two years since the last big riot. After a win against Texas, WVU was a real national championship contender. The size of the riot and the destruction was comparable to what we saw last weekend. The aftermath, however, was much harsher this time around, which is why it has been blown up in our paper this week. Some say we glorify the behavior by covering it, instead of highlighting the fact that we are now a ranked team for the first time since around the time when the last riots took place. Another correlation between the two riots is the time of them. WVU celebrated Fall Family Weekend during the Texas riots, and starting today, Mountaineer Week kicks off. What’s sad about this is not only the fact that the great traditions we have on this campus won’t get the recognition they deserve, but also the impression parents, and in this case of Mountaineer Week, a wide range of people get of Morgantown and WVU. That’s why we saw a light at the end of the tunnel when a “Letter to the Editor” appeared in our inbox. A Baylor fan described the great time he had in Morgantown, and the friendly hospitality he was shown throughout his time in Morgantown. It should be added that we are unaware of when he left town, but it shows us that the Mountaineer spirit is ever present during gamedays. Next week, we have the chance to redeem ourselves after what happened. The Daily Athenaeum encourages everyone to take part in the celebrations of Mountaineer Week and learn more about the heritage of this state, regardless of where you come from. In the next eight days, we have two big football games with Halloween in between. This will truly put the student body to a test. If what happened last week has taught us anything, it is the importance of good behavior. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

College is chaotic. I could write the bedlam off on a Manic Monday, or just acknowledge that most of the time we are all scrambling to get it together. The act of balancing school, work and a social life can feel downright impossible at times. Sometimes it feels like a breakdown is just around the bend, and students can get a little testy. Yesterday, I was sitting in class, struggling to pay attention just like any other day. My professor was explaining that we would all set up meetings to go over revisions to our project. A voice from the front of the room mumbled, “We wouldn’t have to do that if you’d done your job in the first place.” What started off as a snarky comment turned into a verbal brawl. In retort to my professor asking for respect, my classmate said, “Shut up, I pay your salary. I pay for this class.” He went on to call the class “bullshit” and use more profane language, which is when my shocked professor asked him to leave the class. He left yelling, “I’ll make more money than you ever will.” My class was in disbelief at his rudeness after the dramatic exit, to say the least. Few students would be that bla-

DA

tantly disrespectful for no reason. However, one line that he threw out was all too familiar: “I pay to take this class.” (Also, saying his tuition pays our professor’s salary is completely wrong, but that’s beside the point.) The line “I pay to take this class” has become a form of entitlement among college students. It implies, “I don’t care if you don’t want me to text in class, I pay for this.” Or, “Maybe you think lateness is disruptful to everyone, but whatever, I pay to be here.” For many students, it’s actually their parents paying, but they still pull that card regardless. Paying for a meal at a restaurant doesn’t give you the right to barge into the back kitchen and start calling the shots. Paying for a yoga class doesn’t give you permission to tell the teacher to change her practice to your way. You cannot just say “screw you” to the person teaching you, or expect to get anywhere in life doing that. A tuition fee is not a waiver for basic human manners and politeness. College is a different setting from high school, where teachers could call your parents or hand out detention. In college, it’s all up to you whether to show up to class, do your work and how much you get out of the experience in general. There’s almost an added element of anonymity in a large school at

WVU, where there’s a very good chance you have professors who have no clue who you are. When there’s not a personal relationship, it can add to students acting in a way they normally wouldn’t. Your professors are providing you a service, whether you believe that the class is stupid, unnecessary or ridiculous. Asking you to show up on time, or use laptops for class-related things only, is not unreasonable. In the real world, a fact of life is that punctuality is extremely important. Imagine showing up to an interview fifteen minutes late. Things obviously happen, especially if you are forced to rely on the PRT or the Morgantown weather being crazy. But showing up consistently late to class— and we all know a student like this in our classes—is just disrespectful. Yet, far too often I’ve heard people say, “I pay for the class, I can show up whenever I feel like it.” You don’t have to be buddy-buddy with all your professors, and there are definitely going to be ones who aren’t your cup of tea. Some professors will become mentors and provide you with invaluable advice and connections. But, above all, disrespecting them on the basis of “how much money you pay” needs to stop. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Ebola is on everyone’s minds these days. The deadly West African virus has spread to the U.S. in recent weeks and is now being treated for in multiple states. It has yet to come to West Virginia, but the fear is real considering how easy it is to travel from state to state in this country. But fear not WVU students. The survival rate of the Ebola virus in the U.S. is around 83 percent after the first six cases. The only casualty being the first patient to hit American soil. That sample size may be low, but is also a testament to the safety precautions taken by the World Health Organization and the CDC. Unfortunately, the one thing all of the survivors have in common is they were immediately transported to top hospitals where they received around the clock treatment from the best doctors available. Whereas the unfortunate soul who passed never left his local Texas hospital where he received less than stellar treatment. This is obviously great news for us stateside. There was never a great chance it spread throughout the country. The virus

is only spread through bodily fluid sharing. Things like unprotected sex, vomit or feces are the only way to contract the virus. OK, maybe a college campus wouldn’t have been the safest place if a true outbreak did happen. However, recent data makes it seem as though that won’t be the case. Three WHO doctors, who contracted the virus and became critically sick after treating patients in Africa, are now recovering after receiving treatment at Emory University Hospital, per forbes.com. This is all good news and should hopefully lower the Ebola paranoia lingering around campus. Nonetheless, vigilance and caution are a must. Take all the classic steps to keep you hygiene in tip-top shape. Things like remembering to wash your hands, taking a sick day if you are feeling ill or remembering condoms are extra important these days. If you are still nervous, feel free to visit the new student health center at 390 Birch St. A $15 co-pay is all you need to get checked out for whatever ailment you might have. America may be safe for now, but our brothers and sisters in Africa are not as fortunate. This virus is still deadly and currently has a terrible 30-

40 percent survival rate in the infected areas of West Africa. The epicenter of the outbreak is in the countries Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. That is where over 99 percent of the causalities have taken place, per http://modernhealthcare.com. They are receiving treatment, but it is not enough. They are actively receiving medical infrastructure and supplies, but is not enough. By no means am I recommending or even suggesting that any students or faculty travel to Africa to try and help. That would only make matters worse. What the WVU community can do is donate to the many worthy charities that are doing everything they can to help quell this debilitating outbreak. There are lots to choose from online but for the next 48 hours UNICEF is doubling any donation made to stop the Ebola outbreak. You can donate on their website here: https://www. unicefusa.org/donate/ help-stop-ebola-westa f r i ca - you r- d o nat i o n matched/18771/. Ebola might not turn out to be the epidemic we all feared it might. But we can all do our part to put a stop to this terrible disease. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Head coach Dana Holgorsen roams the sideline during WVU’s last trip to Oklahoma State in 2012.

No. 22 West Virginia hits the road to Stillwater with sky-high confidence after upset of Baylor By Connor Murray Sports Editor @ConnorKMurray

Fresh off a 41-27 win over a top-five Baylor team and playing some of its best football of the season, No. 22 West Virginia travels to Stillwater to take on Oklahoma State in a game that is crucial to both team’s conference title hopes. Both the Cowboys and Mountaineers come into this game with 3-1 Big 12 marks, but West Virginia is rolling of late, while Oklahoma State has sputtered the last two weeks. Head coach Dana Hol-

gorsen’s team took some lumps in its big win over the Bears last week. Starting cornerbacks Daryl Worley and Terrell Chestnut were knocked out of the game due to injury, as was starting running back Rushel Shell. Earlier this week, Holgorsen said all three are day-to-day, leaving their status for Saturday up in the air. “It was a very physical game - one of the more physical games that I’ve seen since I’ve been here. We had a lot of guys banged up and beat up,” Holgorsen said. Being back in the top-25 for the first time since Oct.

2012, West Virginia is in a bit of an unfamiliar situation. The Mountaineers will have a target on their back week in and week out from now on, and the Cowboys are first up in the firing range. “Challenging opponent those guys have won eight to 11 games a year for the last five years or so. They’ve been to eight straight bowl games. We understand who our opponent is. We know a lot about them, and we know that they’re going to be ready to play,” Holgorsen said. They have plenty of firepower, especially on offense. Running back, wide

receiver and kick returner Tyreek Hill’s track speed has translated extremely well to the gridiron. He leads the Big 12 in total yardage, averaging 154.1 a game. His quick strike ability gave Oklahoma State its last victory. Were it not for his 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, the Cowboys could have been in deep trouble against Kansas. “Tyreek Hill, they’ll put him in the backfield. They’ll put him at receiver. They’ll move him everywhere. He’s one of the more dynamic guys I’ve seen. He’s one of the faster guys I’ve

ever seen, and he’s one of the more dynamic guys I’ve seen, as well,” Holgorsen said. After suffering a 55-34 loss in Stillwater in 2012, the Mountaineers got a measure of revenge in 2013. The Cowboys came into Morgantown in late September ranked No. 11 in the nation and full of confidence. The Mountaineers rattled Cowboy quarterback J.W. Walsh and put together their most complete performance of the season in a 3021 victory. Due to an injury he sustained earlier in the season, Walsh will not be able

to lead his team in this critical conference tilt. Junior Daxx Garman has filled in capably for Walsh, but is still learning the ropes. “The thing with him, and I know quite a bit about it, he’s an Oklahoma kid who moved to Texas and didn’t play his senior year. He signed with Arizona, redshirted, didn’t play and transferred to Oklahoma State and had to sit out a couple years,” Holgorsen said. “He hasn’t played a lot of football and is continuously getting better.” connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

da sports staff picks DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK “We have to make sure that we pressure the quarterback and get a lot of people around him to affect the throw. We need to disrupt the timing of the offense, and that’s where we were effective on last Saturday’s game.”

INSIDE OUT

Eve 6 comes to Morgantown, offers intimate show Sunday By Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @WestleyT93

The wildly successful pop-punk band Eve 6 is coming to Morgantown this weekend. Best known for their hit songs “Inside Out” and “Here’s to the Night,” Eve 6 was a fixture in the music scene of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Originally formed in 1995, the band went through some name changes. At first, they were called

Yakoo. Shortly after, the name was changed to Eleventeen. The name Eve 6, a reference to drummer Tony Fagenson’s favorite show “The X-Files,” wasn’t decided until later. Eve 6 found almost instantaneous success with the release of their first selftitled album, which reached platinum and spawned radio successes such as “Inside Out” and “Leech.” Their second album, “Horrorscope,” brought the band even more success with more radio hits. Unfortunately, despite

Sounds from the mountain By Chelsea Walker Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Celebrating West Virginia heritage and traditional bluegrass music, the Mountain Music Concert will feature the sounds and instruments of Appalachia. The Mountain Music Concert will host the WVU Bluegrass Band as well as local musicians. Performances will include a mix of classical bluegrass tunes and contemporary pieces. The influence of bluegrass has re-emerged in today’s alternative and indie music scene. With popular bands such as Mumford and Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show and the Avett Brothers incorporating the traditional sounds of stringy instruments and heavy bass, a traditional bluegrass sound echoes through the world of modern music. Derived from European and African influence, bluegrass music is no stranger to the mountains and valleys of West Virginia. Appalachian folk music has graced eastern states with fiddling, ballad singing and acoustic rhythms as far back as the 1600s. Life in the mountains was rough and lonely for most residents and music became a means of entertainment and expression. Traditional bluegrass combined simple acoustic undertones with lyrics that described Appalachian life, from daily work to love and death. Those who migrated to America during this time brought with them what is considered the basic roots of today’s bluegrass. Travis Stimeling, director of the WVU Bluegrass Band, historian and fan of bluegrass music, said the Mountain Music Concert will feature instruments special to the Appalachian region. “The fiddle is an instrument that many people associate with Appalachia and West Virginia, specifically,” Stimeling said. “Perhaps the most interesting instrument to me, though, is the banjo,

because it is a product of the African influence on Appalachian music.” Stimeling says that although most think of the banjo as a European-American instrument, both the instrument and the ways musicians play it are profoundly African in nature. Outside of the fiddle and banjo-picking, acts on stage will feature sounds from the mandolin, guitar and bass. New to the Morgantown music scene, the WVU Bluegrass Band is making its appearance at the Mountain Music Concert. Made up of WVU students, Stimeling started the WVU Bluegrass Band in an effort to build a culture in the School of Music that celebrated the rich array of musical traditions that would thrive in the Mountain State. “I am both a historian of country music and a bluegrass and old-time musician, so I work very hard, as in this group, to blend theory and practice, to think about and to do this music,” Stimeling said. WVU Bluegrass Band members will join Whitewater, a Morgantown bluegrass band composed of Ryan Mullins, John Posey, Seth Wiggins and Greg Thurman. Posey and Mullins are set to appear onstage with members of the WVU Bluegrass Band, playing music in the style of the Osborne Brothers, Reno & Smiley, Lonesome River Band and the Dillards. Viewers can anticipate hearing classics such as “My Florida Sunshine,” by Grand Ole Opry veteran Bill Monroe, and “There Is A Time,” by the Dillards. The Mountain Music Concert featuring the WVU Bluegrass Band will take place at 8 p.m. tonight in the Mountainlair’s Gluck Theatre. The concert will be one of the many events taking place during Mountaineer Week. To see the Mountaineer Week schedule of events, go to http://mountaineerweek. wvu.edu/events/.

the success, not all was well in paradise. Due to their rapid growth, the band members found themselves under significant stress. After the poor reception of their third album, “It’s All in Your Head,” Eve 6 declared an indefinite hiatus in 2004. They would remain apart until 2007. Now back together, Eve 6 released a new album, “Speak in Code,” in 2012. The band members are excited to be playing together again. Eve 6 will perform at Schmitt’s Saloon Sunday.

Jason Lottmann, director of artist development for Star Crossed Artist Group, has taken on a concert promoter role to bring Eve 6 to Morgantown. “Every now and then, we take on a concert promoter role by teaming up with venues to bring in bigger acts,” Lottmann said. “This will be the second time I’ve worked with Eve 6, the first time being in September of 2012.” Lottmann is excited to bring the band to Schmitt’s Saloon and believes the show will be quite exciting,

thanks to the venue. “Schmitt’s is easily the premier concert venue in the area,” Lottmann said. “They’re only two years old, but they’ve grown mightily in just that short time. They have a strong reputation for putting on the best shows in the area, we believe.” Eve 6 is expected to put on a good show. The band has experience playing live music for almost two decades now. Lottmann said he expects the show should be amazing. “The crowd will be going wild,” Lottmann said. “They

put on such a great show.” Joining Eve 6 at Schmitt’s will be a few local bands, including Qiet and A Race Against Time. There will also be three singers/songwriters from out of town: Nicola, Matt Colligan and Will Duvall. Schmitt’s schedule is jam-packed for the whole night. The concert starts at 8 p.m. Oct. 26. Tickets start at $25 and can be purchased online at http://eventbrite.com/e/eve-6-tickets-13165455231/. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

WVU defense confident heading into Saturday By Dillon Durst Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Heading into Saturday’s Big 12 matchup against Oklahoma State, West Virginia’s defense figures to face another tough challenge in defending the Cowboys’ Air Raid offense. After holding then-No. 4 Baylor to just 318 total offensive yards, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said the Mountaineers’ defense is playing with as much confidence as ever. “We’re a pretty confident bunch defensively right now,” Holgorsen said. “Coach (Tony) Gibson, again, I can’t express what he’s been able to do with these guys.

“It’s been fun to watch. It’s been awesome.” After earning National Defensive Coordinator of the Week, Gibson now turns his focus to game planning for another uptempo passing attack that can give any defense fits. Gibson said West Virginia’s game plan will be similar to the one he hatched against Baylor in the fact that the Mountaineers will need to get pressure on Cowboys’ quarterback Daxx Garman. “We have to make sure that we pressure the quarterback and get a lot of people around him to affect the throw,” he said. “We need to disrupt the timing of the offense that’s where we were effective in last Saturday’s game.

“I would expect the same kind of play this upcoming week.” Senior defensive end Shaq Riddick, who tallied three sacks and four tackles for loss in West Virginia’s win over Baylor, figures to again be an instrumental piece in the Mountaineers’ defensive game plan. “It’s going to be the same thing this week,” Riddick said. “If you look at it, the key to every game in this conference is getting to the quarterback. It is a game-changing thing, and that’s what we are going to continue to do.” Gibson’s aggressive scheme allows playmakers, such as junior safety Karl Joseph, to play closer to the line of scrimmage

and have more of an impact in stopping opponents’ running game. Joseph is one of the Mountaineers’ heavy hitters on defense, and said he likes his role in the defense so far. “The defensive scheme is different. I am able to do a lot of different things, so I like playing that position,” he said. “I like doing everything, so whatever they tell to do I am going to do it.” Against Baylor, West Virginia played a lot of cover one and cover zero defense which allowed Joseph to play closer to the line, while true freshman safety Dravon Henry patrolled the deeper part of the field. Gibson’s game plan against Oklahoma State figures to be

adjusted slightly for the Cowboys’ offensive attack, but will probably be very similar to what WVU fans saw last week. A good amount of the plays Gibson will call Saturday come from what the players are seeing on the field. “Every time we come to the sideline, either coach Gibby (Gibson) or coach (Joe) DeForest is asking everybody what happened out there,” Joseph said. “I think it is good that we have that kind of players and coaches relationship. “It shows that they trust us, and that we are able to tell them what we see out there and put us into position to make plays.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia takes on Bowling Green By Ryan Minnigh Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

West Virginia scored a big win Wednesday, defeating No. 12 Penn State 2-1. The Mountaineers got some much needed confidence from that game leading into another big MAC matchup Saturday against Bowling Green. The Mountaineers return to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium after a threegame road trip, which saw them go 1-1-1. Unfortunately for WVU, the loss and tie came in conference games, but they can right the ship now after their upset victory over Penn State.

Bowling Green brings a 9-4-1 to the pitch, but they have also not been able to win their conference matchups. Bowling Green and West Virginia both fell to Akron in conference play. The Zips were able to shut out Bowling Green on their home field 1-0. The Falcons have also played the Buffalo Bulls, resulting in a 1-1 draw. Buffalo gave the Falcons the advantage early with an own goal but scored just minutes later and played the rest of the contest tied. In its most recent game, Bowling Green was shutout on the road by Ohio State 3-0. Bowling Green will continue this road

trip by now traveling to Morgantown for their first road matchup in the MAC. A prolific scorer in Pat Flynn leads Bowling Green. Flynn stood far above the rest of the pack in the early season with his goal total. Flynn currently has 12 goals on the season and stands in second place on the season in goals scored. Flynn had his best game against Findlay earlier this season when he nearly scored two hat tricks with five goals in the 8-0 rout. Also helping lead the Falcons into battle is reining MAC Player of the Week Jacob Roth. Roth has been a standout defender for the Falcons this

season and has also gave a helping hand with six assists. Traveling has been much less of an issue for the Falcons this season than many other teams. Bowling Green is 4-2 on the road this season. Besides Akron, the Mountaineers and Falcons have two other common opponents on the season. The Mountaineers defeated Duquesne while the Falcons fell to the Dukes in double overtime. The Mountaineers and Falcons both shut out Niagara by a combined 6-0 score this season. West Virginia has a 5-2 home record this season, with its last home loss

coming Sept. 11. Andy Bevin has been hot recently, as well. Bevin has scored in the team’s previous four games. He has also scored the last five goals for the Mountaineers dating back to the Northern Illinois draw. Both squads desperately need a win to separate them in the MAC Conference. They will be playing catch up to Akron, but a win will likely give them a boost in the rankings. The game is set to kick off at 1 p.m. Saturday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers match up with Kansas State by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team is back on the home court this weekend facing off against the No. 22 Kansas State Wildcats. Wednesday night, the Mountaineers, 13-8, 3-4 Big 12, took a big win over the Baylor Bears. Kansas State is 18-3, 5-2 and also had a win Wednesday against the Oklahoma Sooners. “We’re excited to play

them,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “All it is, is another opportunity to play a great team and get better and come out with a win. That’s what we want.” WVU is 8-4 when playing at home, but only one of those wins was against a Big 12 team – TCU. Kansas State, on the other hand, is 6-0 when away and is holding second place in the Big 12. Defensively, the Wildcats are pretty strong, with 232 total blocks so far this season. They shut down the Oklahoma offense,

holding them to a .192 hitting percentage. West Virginia has a total of 175 blocks and will have to step that up, as three of the Wildcats’ leading hitters average about three kills per set and currently have a total of 1,028. Freshman outside hitter Kylie Zumach has put down 266 kills this year for Kansas State, followed by sophomore outside hitter Brooke Sassin with 233. As a team, West Virginia is sixth in the Big 12 for kills, but Jordan Anderson is leading the conference in individual kills with 394, averaging 4.73 per set. Setting for the Wildcats is Katie Brand who has put up 840 assists, one ahead of WVU setters Lamprini Konstantinidou and Brittany Sample who have combined for 839. Konstantinidou and Sample have both started and seen court time this season. As a freshman, Konstantinidou has racked

up 709 assists, and before the match Wednesday, she was sitting at fourth in program history for most assists by a freshman in a single season. She averages 10.91 assists per set, close to Brand’s 11.05 per set for the Wildcats. Another freshman has been pulling her weight for WVU, too; libero Gianna Gotterba now has 228 digs. Against Baylor, she finished with 18 digs, just under her career-high. Kansas State has also been strong with its serving, putting down 95 aces this season compared to WVU’s 76. In their match against Baylor alone, the Mountaineers had seven aces. Keeping their serves strong this weekend could give them an advantage. Against the Bears, WVU hit for .263 as a team with 61 kills and 11 total team blocks. They took an early lead over Baylor in the first set with a 10-5 upper hand. The battle continued until the Bears scored three in a row, tying the set at 20-20, before Anderson contributed two aces and the Mountaineers took a 5-0 run to win 25-20. In set two, the WVU offense was on fire finishing with a .429 hitting percentage on the set from 18 kills. With another early lead of 14-6, the Mountaineers fought hard with

two kills from Nikki Attea pulling ahead to 17-9. Baylor cut the deficit by three points, but Anderson continued to fire over the net until things got close after an attacking error. Attea and Hannah Sackett both had a kill to bring the Mountaineers to set-point, where Caleah Wells finished the game on a kill, 25-21. Set three was a drop for the Mountaineers, hitting .163 including eight attacking errors. Baylor took a 10-6 lead and continued to fight until they gained a 17-10 gap over WVU. Anderson and Attea both contributed to bridge the gap, before Baylor finished with a kill, 25-22. Coming out strong in set four, West Virginia hit for .314 on 15 kills and put up six team blocks. They took another early lead, while Baylor rallied to close in. The Mountaineers continued the momentum and took a 1510 lead. The Bears then scored four in a row, cutting the score, 19-18, before Anderson scored three kills and Gotterba put down one to bring match point up. The Mountaineers finished the set 25-19 and match 3-1. Game time against No. 22 Kansas State is set for 5 p.m. Saturday at the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Stay consistent, get a W

It’s time to keep the momentum flowing Saturday and for team chemistry to continue to get better, because after a two-year hiatus of not being a ranked squad, No. 22 West Virginia now has the ability to keep rising and have a 2014 season that seemed nearly impossible just a few months ago to me. After crumbling to pieces in 2013 and finishing with a miserable 4-8 record, head coach Dana Holgorsen has been saying the immense changes he believed his team had going into the season from day one of Fall Camp, but with so many issues arising last season, the actual possibility of even being a ranked team this season seemed too far-fetched to me. WVU clearly has proved me wrong in that aspect, but with five huge games still remaining for the Mountaineers, the level for them to rise up to is tremendous. Nearly every player and coach on WVU’s team will tell you they’re only focused on one game at a time, and as great of an upset last Saturday was against then-No. 4 Baylor, it’s a new week and a new opponent. With the Oklahoma State Cowboys entering Saturday’s matchup unranked for the first time since Week 3 of this season, I believe all cards are on the Mountaineers’ side right now. But, that cannot be the mentality West Virginia brings into Saturday’s game. We’ve all seen it too often in college football – and many times within WVU football – a team has a big-time win before falling apart the following week. However, with the Mountaineers possessing the No. 3 passer in the nation right now in redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett, who has 2,525 passing yards on 197 completions and has thrown for 15 touchdowns through the Mountaineers’ first seven games of the season, I don’t see him or the offense being stopped. Yet, there is even another player who I don’t see being stopped by anyone: The No. 1 receiver in the nation – senior Kevin White, who is the only receiver throughout the country to already have more than 1,000 receiving yards this season. Considering West Virginia has scored in 27 of 28 quarters this season, I don’t see anyone slowing down this offense. The defense may even have more momentum going into Saturday, as they were able to contain the No. 1 scoring team in the nation to 27 points last week. That is nearly half of what the Bears have been averaging this season. As the WVU defense was able to get to an extremely experienced quarterback in senior Bryce Petty and shut his offense down for the most part, the motivation stemming from the Mountaineers’ defense is humongous right now. They should have no problem containing Cowboys’ junior quarterback Daxx Garman and his top receivers in Brandon Sheperd and David Glidden. This is a Mountaineer squad that is too hot right now, and with both of their losses on the season coming against top-five teams in which both games were a battle on both sides, it’s time to now keep the ball rolling and have WVU continue its winning streak to four games after shocking Baylor and the rest of the nation last Saturday. apecorar@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S SOCCER

West Virginia set for a pair at home this weekend by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s soccer team is in control of its destiny as its regular season begins to wind down. The Mountaineers are entering a matchup against Oklahoma State tonight. West Virginia sits on top of the Big 12 standings with a conference record of 4-0-1, while the Cowgirls are right behind them, displaying a 4-1-1 record. If West Virginia can win its remaining games, they’ll remain on top of the Big 12, and it all starts with to-

SPECIAL NOTICES

night’s matchup against OSU. “It’s definitely an ideal position for us,” said senior forward Kate Schwindel. “Playing at home gives us an advantage either way, so we’re very confident going into this weekend.” Schwindel and company picked up another pair of wins last week on the road. They handled a struggling Iowa State team and then knocked off No. 9 Kansas. The only blemish the Mountaineers have on their Big 12 record is a draw against TCU. Oklahoma State is riding a three-game winning streak. The Cowgirls re-

cently took down Oklahoma in overtime to pick up their third straight win. OSU started the season 0-6-1, but the Cowgirls have managed to steer the ship straight down the stretch. Last season, WVU beat Oklahoma State to claim another Big 12 title. WVU head coach Nikki IzzoBrown said she is confident that the Cowgirls will remember what happened the last time the two teams met. “They’re (OSU) definitely on a roll and have a lot of momentum coming forward,’” Izzo-Brown said. “It’s going to be an absolute battle. Of course,

they’re going to have motivation to take care of us after the Big 12 championship last season.” The Mountaineers will rely on Schwindel to keep her success rolling. Schwindel found the back of the net three times last weekend. “You always got to give a player huge compliments for just continuing to grind,” Izzo-Brown said. “For Kate to work so hard and come up with such a big weekend for us was huge, and it was so important for her and her confidence.” West Virginia’s defense has also been superb. WVU did not allow a goal in any road Big 12 matchup – a

program first. A lot of that can be translated over to the backline and goalkeeper Hannah Steadman’s play. Steadman, however, credits her backline for the shutouts. “I can’t take all the credit every game,” Steadman said. “I have to give credit to my backline. It’s us five back there protecting that net, getting those shutouts.” Being at home this weekend has boosted the Mountaineers’ confidence as the road to another conference championship is in their control. “It’s always great to play in front of our fans,” Steadman said. “Getting these

wins this weekend and clinching that title would really help us when we go into the tournament.” The Mountaineers and Cowgirls will kick off at 7 p.m. tonight at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
