Speak-Up talks tobacco free WVU by sam bosserman correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Senior West Virginia University administrators participated in a speak-up event put together by the WVU Student Government Association Friday evening.

The event focused on the new smoking ban, which was implemented for the current academic year.

During the event, students voiced their concerns about the ban and asked

questions.

Students in the audience said they thought that as it stands now, the ban is doing more harm than good. Two Resident Assistants said they did not feel comfortable telling their residents to go off campus to smoke and the alternative locations weren’t safe, particularly at night, when lighting is often an issue.

These RAs, as well as several others students who declared themselves against the ban, suggested putting

Philip Creamer, a junior biology and Russian studies student, said he thought designated smoking areas were a good compromise to the ban.

“I completely agree with indoor smoking bans on campus, but outdoor smok-

ing is a completely different matter,” Creamer said. “I think the research on secondhand smoke affecting people outside is inconclusive, and policy decisions such as this ban should not be made when the science to back it up isn’t clear.

the ban is trying to accomplish … It really comes back to the fact that there is no safe level of tobacco smoke,” Harshbarger said.

Harshbarger said she thought setting up designated smoking areas is a bad idea.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea based on the precedence that’s been done elsewhere,” she said. “I think it’ll be a waste of money, and I also think it goes against

would be a fair compromise … both sides could come away content with that solution.”

Colleen Harshbarger, director of Wellness and Health Promotion with WellWVU: The Students’ Center of Health, countered Creamer’s assertions, when she said there is abundant research on the negative health effects of secondhand smoke.

An entry into the Pumpkin Drop competition gets pushed off the top of the Engineering Sciences Building and falls toward the crowd Friday.

The West Virginia University chapter of Pi Beta Phi signed postcards with a kiss Sunday afternoon as the sorority aspires to lift the spirits of U.S. troops.

Cosmopolitan magazines’s “Kisses for the Troops” asks certain chapters from different regions to participate in the fundraising event, and this is the second year WVU’s Pi Beta Phi has been invited to participate.

“I was contacted by a representative of Cosmopolitan, saying that we were selected again,” said Taylor Manella, a senior biochemistry students and vice president of event planning for Pi Beta Phi. “From there, they sent me everything I needed to put on this event.”

The event, which in-

cluded participants from all across campus, benefited the United Service Organization.

“The way it works is you come to the house and you kiss a postcard with a little message, and then they’re sent overseas to all of the men and women fighting for us,” said Kayla Dransfield, a senior anthropology student and vice president of philanthropy for Pi Beta Phi. “It’s just a little uplifting message to let them know that we’re thinking about them back at home, and every post card you kiss donates a dollar to the USO.” Current military members were also present, making the event especially meaningful to many attendees.

“It was an honor to thank them personally,” Manella said. “I have

Survivor story: WVU mom shares personal battle with breast cancer

BY Alyssa PLUCHINO Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is important to remember those who have lost their lives to the disease and to celebrate the lives of survivors.

Although breast cancer is a terrifying journey that can seem like a lost cause, each woman who has survived the disease has a cou-

rageous tale that proves the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

Patricia Adams was 49 years old when she was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer. Her only daughter, Hope, a public relations student from Keyser, W.Va., was a sophomore in high school at the time. Adams had no family history of breast cancer.

“I was in shock when I first heard I had it. I remember sitting in the room getting

treatment with other cancer patients and seeing the fear in their faces,” Adams said.

“It was hard to keep a positive attitude when there is so

much hopelessness in others faces.

“It was sad, but my daughter kept me with a positive attitude, because I knew I had to fight through it for her.”

Nearly half a year after her initial diagnosis and after going through months of chemotherapy and radiation, Adams was told she was cancer-free.

Despite the fact the cancer drastically changed Adams’ hormones, which left her with negative side effects

both emotionally and sexually, the devoted mother chose to remain focused on the positive things. While the chemotherapy caused Adams to lose her hair, it grew back with thick waves she never had before.

“I live life more to the fullest. I am a horticulturalist and own a small garden center. Every time I buy flowers, I notice the beauty more in the world,” Adams said. “(I have) learned to appreciate the small things.”

Both Adams and her daughter encourage women of all ages to have consistent breast examinations to make sure they are healthy.

Anyone can develop breast cancer, whether they have a family history or not. It is important to be informed on the subject and know the warning signs that may present themselves in the early stages of the disease. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins helps push a pumpkin structure off of the 11th floor of the Engineering Sciences Building.

DROP

Continued from page 1 Participants hurled their pumpkins off the top of the Benjamin M. Statler Engineering tower. The team who landed their pumpkin closest to the designated target won the competition.

While the dropping portion of the competition is what most spectators enjoy, there is more to the challenge than first meets

the eye. The participating teams must effectively design a safety pod around their team’s pumpkin that will protect it during the 11-story plunge.

Of the 300 participating teams, only 74 teams’ pumpkin survived the plunge.

The first place prize of $100 was awarded to “The Pumpkinators” of Suncrest Middle School. This team managed to land four inches from the targeted spot.

A team from Morgan-

town High School earned second place and $50, landing 11 inches from the target.

Finally, team “P Dizzle,” also from Suncrest Middle School, claimed the third place and $25 by landing 1 foot and 11 inches from the mark.

Though only nine participants won prizes, senior engineering student Daniel Ketz of United Technical Center said no matter what, the experience itself was rewarding.

“We just started this

week,” Ketz said. “We’re doing this for the fun of it.”

Elijah Shaw, an eighth grade student from Doddridge Middle School, said he was excited to attend the event for the third year in a row, and this year he was a team leader.

“It’s a way to get out of school and it’s fun,” Shaw said.

The faculty at Doddridge allows students to participate as a reward for distinguished grades.

“Using this as an ex-

cuse to get out of school for a day hides the fact that he is a very good engineer,” said Jen Davisson, a teacher at Doddridge Middle School. “This gives the kids an opportunity to take what they learned in the classroom and actually apply it to something and see it in action, and until they put it to use they don’t see the relevance in it.”

WVU’s Mountaineer Mascot Jonathan Kimble made an appearance, as well. When an ear-shatter-

ing musket blast alarmed the attendees, Kimble stood up on the building steps and began shouting classic University chants.

“Its fun going to the schools and hearing how excited they are to come Morgantown. It’s a chance for them to see the campus,” Kimble said. “We really have competition against the whole entire state in the Pumpkin Drop.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Flash mob ‘thrills’ Mountainlair Saturday by laura haight staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Zombies invaded the Mountainlair food court Saturday afternoon as part of a worldwide recordbreaking attempt for the largest simultaneous performance of the dance from the video for Michael Jackson’s hit song “Thriller.”

The flash mob, “Thrill the World,” coordinated dancers across the world to begin the dance exactly at the same time, regardless of time zone differences. In Morgantown, the time was 4 p.m.

Participants decked out in full zombie gear made sure to stay in character throughout the entire performance.

Gemma Fountain, a West Virginia University alumna, has participated in this dance since 2009.

Although dancer turnout this year was low, Fountain said she felt comfort in knowing people around the world were dancing with

her.

“You’re part of a global effort, which unites you in a way that’s awesome,” Fountain said. “I’m doing this right this very second and people are doing it all over the world at the exact same time.”

Thousands of people in different cities connected online to register their town in an attempt to collectively break the record. She said the best part about it was having fun while doing something unique.

“Whether it’s one person, or a hundred people dancing, we’re still dancing for fun,” Fountain said. “It’s a world record, it’s different.”

Attendance of dancers was recorded sent to “Thrill the World,” and will then be sent for evaluation on whether or not a record was broken.

“We won’t know for a few weeks. ‘Thrill the World’ will collect the tallies from all the events,” Fountain said.

Rachel Gregory, a senior industrial engineering

student, coordinated practices for the performance in the weeks leading up to the event.

As a Zumba instructor and Michael Jackson fan, Gregory said she enjoyed performing the “Thriller” dance with her peers.

“Dance is a way to forget everything that you’re doing. You’re expressing yourself; you’re having fun,” Gregory said. “It’s a way to let loose.”

She said she believed the event was successful and it got people up and moving.

“I encourage people to get out there and dance. It’s a healthy feeling. It’s contagious,” Gregory said. “Go have fun.”

SGA

Continued from page 1 what a tobacco-free campus is all about.”

Students raised their concern that the ban hasn’t been effectively enforced. These students

said they still saw people smoking on campus and have even seen WVU police officers walk by without saying anything.

In response to these comments, WVU police chief Bob Roberts said it often comes down to the individual officers.

Roberts said since smoking is not illegal, his depart-

ment does not want to get too involved in the ban’s enforcement. He said the only course of action a police officer would have if a student refused to put out their cigarette would be to arrest the individual for trespassing.

Corey Farris, WVU dean of students, said he thinks students are doing a good job of enforcing the policy on themselves.

“We are not a police state … hardcore enforcement is not the way to get people to change their behavior,” Farris said. “It’s going to take one-on-one interactions between students … it’s going to take one student going up to another and saying, ‘Please don’t smoke here, it bothers me.’

“On the other side of that equation, students who smoke will have to say to themselves, ‘OK, it’s a tobacco-free campus, I need to go someplace else where I am allowed to smoke.’”

Farris said he was happy the SGA had put together the event, and despite the often contentious nature of the issues being discussed, he said both the administrators and students were respectful to each other. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Movie Reviews

Stallone and Schwarzenegger return to the screen in ‘Escape Plan’ Nick Wesdock A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Two of Hollywood’s most distinguished action movie stars, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, returned to the big screen as co-stars in the new film “Escape Plan.”

The over-exaggerated film could be considered subpar by today’s standards, but it was reminiscent of the classic action flicks. Cheesy one-liners and outrageous stunts brought to mind classic series like “The Terminator” and the “Rambo” films.

Now, we can add “Escape Plan” to the long list

of movies that withstands the test of time.

The film, directed by Mikael Hafstrom, follows professional escape artist Ray Breslin (Stallone) as he goes undercover as an inmate in some of the country’s most secure prisons. It’s his job to break out and expose any weaknesses the facilities have.

Accepting a job at a top-secret prison, called The Tomb, turns out to be the biggest mistake of Breslin’s life. This time, breaking out is the real deal.

While inside, Breslin enlists the help of fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger). Whenever it looks like things are going well, Warden

Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) foils their plans. Schwarzenegger’s character is hilarious in his failure, making this performance his funniest since “Jingle All the Way.” Clearly, the duo are well past their prime, but the film plays off that to create humor. Their banter is enjoyable to watch.

“Escape Plan” is a refreshing change from the all too serious, melodramatic action movies of late.

Compared to most bigbudget action films, such as the newer “Die Hard” films or “The Expendables,” this movie was relatively low-key. No overthe-top special effects and no outrageous stunts were featured in “Escape Plan”.

The set was practical and realistic, adding to the appeal of the mostly downto-earth movie.

Hafstrom does an adequate job of diverting the viewer’s attention away from the film’s predictability. The twists and turns are disguised well enough to hold suspense throughout the two-hour movie.

Despite its light-hearted tone, strong language and violence were a staple in the movie, as is to be expected in an R-rated film.

Whether you’re a fan of cheesy, old-fashioned action movies or not, “Escape Plan” features two of the genre’s most renowned stars and is plenty of fun for everybody. wallcapture.com

asm and a specific focus.

“All the Pretty Horses, Sunset Unlimited” and “The Road,” written by McCarthy, turned into great movies. One of McCarthy’s wellknown accomplishments was with his book “No Country For Old Men,” was produced as a film in 2007 and received four Academy Awards. To think that “The Counselor” was produced by the same man is quizzical.

The film has a scatterbrained plot which is sexobsessed and hard to keep aligned. The scenes jump from poor arguments to weird hook-ups to constant meetings between only two characters, which don‘t serve a true purpose to the plot, filled with never-ending spiels on love, the meanings of life, sex and women.

The movie starts with the counselor (Fassbender) and Laura (Cruz), his soon-tobe fiance, hiding under the sheets and reciting cliched, stiff dialogue. Something as simple as a love scene shouldn’t be difficult to act, but the characters’ words make it seem like they are distance and unsure of one another even though they are in “love.”

The only comical scene

in the entire movie is when Malkina (Diaz) goes to a confessional and tries to aggravate a priest by talking about inappropriate things like “I think that women might make up sexy things to tell you just to make you crazy,” and even asks him “What if my sins are unforgivable?”

Her taunting works and the priest storms out the of church leaving the crowd of women sitting on the pews.

Aside from the few unintentional funny moments, Diaz’s character is overplayed and dripping with pretentiousness. It was obvious that her character was intended to be one of low morals, toughness and arousal.

The entire film tries to be too over the top. It seems that every character was given a major role in which they had some “meaningful” insight on life. They just become a puppet for these long speeches instead of actual characters with their own meanings.

Overall, the dialogue is dry, the plot is easily guessed and the overall quality of “The Counselor” is not good. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

editorial

The efficacy of the smoking ban Three months after the smoking ban was implemented at West Virginia University, the Student Government Association held a Speak-Up event about the issue.

The discussion included students, members of the SGA and members of the local police department.

This Speak-Up covered an old-news policy, one that can’t be changed anytime soon.

The line between students and faculty is clear: the students in attendance believed the smoking ban should be lifted, and the

faculty supported the ban.

One of the biggest concerns when the ban was first announced was how it would be enforced.

WVU police chief Bob Roberts gave us the answer.

Smoking is not illegal; the department did not want to get entangled in the ban’s enforcement, and the only course of action the police could take would be to arrest the students for trespassing – the reasoning for which remains unclear.

WVU Dean of Students Corey Harris claimed the ban has only been enforced so far by students

asking one another not to smoke.

How many of you smokers would actually stop to put out your cigarette if a fellow student asked you to? It is likely there are very few.

Now the secret is out, and students are aware there will likely be no consequence to their action; it is possible students will be more open about smoking on campus, especially in cases of convenience and safety.

A few Resident Assistants drew attention to their discomfort about tell-

ing students to go farther away from the residence halls into areas which are less well-lit and populated.

Most students who smoke outside the residence halls move far enough away from the entryways to avoid blocking the way of other students and prevent the smoke from entering the building. Forcing them to move outside the lighted areas and away from the watchful eyes of the RAs opens the door to more danger.

If the University wants to keep the smoking ban in place, it needs to do more

to enforce the restriction than make threats to arrest students for trespassing and take the responsibility out of the hands of the students.

Unless the University finds the funds to pay for enforcement or comes to an agreement about legal punishments, the ban will need to be lifted.

And if the University does find a way to enforce the ban, it will need to be part of a compromise with the students or else the issue will persist.

op-ed commentary

The controversy of Adrian Peterson’s Oct. 13 game david schlake columnist

NFL star running back Adrian Peterson’s 2-yearold son passed away earlier in October.

The only information released in connection to the incident was he was assaulted his mother’s boyfriend. The assault took place Oct. 9, and the boy passed away after being in critical condition.

However, a major question for Peterson was whether or not to play in the week’s football game against Carolina Panthers.

While many would probably sit out the game on the same weekend as the incident, Peterson didn’t.

He decided he wanted to be there for his team, and when it was time for kickoff, Peterson was on the field and dressed to play.

Many people have had issues with Peterson’s decision, which is expected because the game was so soon after the incident.

Critics thought Peterson’s decision was disrespectful to his son, and he should have taken more time to mourn this horrible family death.

These critics have a pretty strong point. Peterson’s son was pronounced dead less than 48 hours before the game, so it was hard to understand why or how he was thinking about football at this time.

While these opponents have a solid argument about Peterson’s decision, there is also the argument he wanted to be there for

his team, and he handled the situation in his own way.

Normal citizens can relate to tragedies like this one and to the ways they are handled. Overall, Peterson wouldn’t have been wrong with either choice.

Had he needed time to mourn the loss of his son, it would have been completely understandable.

However, people handle difficult situations like this in their own way, so I don’t think he was wrong here.

After all, playing for his son could be viewed as showing his respect.

In these difficult personal situations, it’s not acceptable to make judgments of what the right or wrong way is to react. Peterson is the one who has to accept the awful tragedy of losing a child. So, if playing helps him struggle less, then I think he absolutely should. There isn’t anything disrespectful about trying to be strong for your son, your family and your team.

Try to put yourself in a similar position. Not only does he have to deal with the tragedy on his hands, but being a superstar as well, he has the whole world watching and waiting for his reaction. If these critics were put in a similar situation, they might choose to play the game, as well.

This mentality is applicable when discussing personal events of any celebrity’s life. It’s not fair for us to judge anyone’s decisions or values based on what we see in the news or what we hear through a chain

New University LGBT Center a step in right direction derrik whitlow columnist

The impending addition of an LGBT studies center at WVU is a huge step in the right direction for the school’s future.

Among our peer institutions within the Big 12, we are one of only three schools that do not already have a center dedicated solely to addressing and researching issues pertaining solely to the LGBT community.

If that wasn’t bad enough, some of these schools have been ahead of us in this area for as many as 15 years.

Furthermore, the current Campus Pride Index, which is ranked on a scale of 1 through 5, is a shocking 1.5 in comparison to the next lowest being a 3 among our peer

institutions.

Considering most of these states are ironically Republican strongholds, with the exception of maybe Iowa, it does not bode well the issues LQBT students and faculty face on campus and within the community have been somewhat overlooked to date. Clearly there is more work to be done on the topic on WVU’s campus.

However, with the recent focus on a LGBT center and expanded efforts to address potential bullying on campus, as well as the work of multiple student organizations focused toward like causes, there is a forthcoming and very positive correlation between the increased focus WVU has put forward with regard to both equality and protection against discrimination.

There has been a consistent effort within the

file photo/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU students Caitlin Webster, left, and Madalyn Fizer, right, exchange rings during a mock wedding held inf ront of the Mountainlair in support of homosexual marriages.

Student Government Association’s current administration to lobby for the center. Not only that, but among their master project list – viewable on the SGA website – are other related projects such as gen-

der-neutral bathrooms and a Student Diversity Group.

They should absolutely be applauded and congratulated for their hard work.

At the end of the day though, it comes down to the senior administration

and the Board of Governors at WVU to act decisively on the topic at hand. They, too, ultimately deserve the credit for taking the necessary steps to further WVU’s Strategic 2020 plan.

By implementing these steps, the WVU campus becomes more LGBT friendly ,and it will ultimately lead to better understanding of the issues that some of our fellow Mountaineers face on a day-to-day basis.

The idea that no student, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or sex should ever have to face bullying or any sort of discrimination should be at the very core of a college institution’s mission. In doing so, WVU only proves it is further striving to fulfill its mandates by the state of West Virginia.

This will not only serve as a center for advocacy

and research, but it will also be a place where students can congregate and form a sort of campus pride that their alma mater is a place where diversity is both celebrated and valued; it will ingrain the idea that a facet of who you are does not explicitly define you as a person.

In a future context, one would hope implementation of these steps will serve the aforementioned purposes, and also pay future dividends on multiple levels for the investment WVU is about to make.

While sometimes the wheels of justice move slower than we would like, in the end, we hope the good will win out. Collectively as an institution, a state and a country, we must continue to strive wholeheartedly for equality for all Americans. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

‘Cabaret’ takes audience back in time

by Shawnee Moran associate A&E Editor @shawneemoran22

The popular musical “Cabaret” will bring romance, rich history and avant garde music to the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center as the School of Theatre & Dance kicks off one of their biggest productions this season.

Set in Germany in the late ’20s, “Cabaret” focuses on the story of American writer Clifford Bradshaw and his desire for inspiration.

During his travels in Berlin, he discovers a popular nightspot, the Kit Kat Club, and meets British singer Sally Bowles. The musical explores complex ideas such as love, loss, right and wrong and politics.

Lee Blair, WVU professor and director, said he has been pleased with the talented cast and crew and with rehearsals.

“Rehearsals have been going well ... Once you learn all the dancing, the music and the scenes, then you put them all together, work them with continuity, move into tech rehearsals with costumes, set and

lights and then on you go to opening night,” Blair said. “Our students get a couple of opportunities a year to do musical work – whether in class or in performance – so they get excited over this collaboration of music, dance and theater.”

Nora Perone, who will play Sally Bowles in the production, said the cast has been diligently preparing for the production.

Some members of the cast, including herself, started preparing for the musical far in advance.

“We’ve been rehearsing for eight weeks, almost every night from 7-11 p.m.,” Perone said. “We started out by learning all of the music and choreography, and then we started putting it all together with the scenes, and now we’re at the point where it’s becoming a cohesive product, but I’ve technically been preparing for this role for much longer.”

According to Blair, one of the most challenging aspects as a director of the show is dealing with the tone of the piece, considering the historical background and content of the

SUBMITTEd

The cast of ‘Cabaret’ show off their elaborate costumes during a rehearsal. show. Blair said he wanted to be as true to the story as possible.

“I guess the tone of this piece can be a difficulty; there is racism and antiSemitism in the story of ‘Cabaret.’ There is (also) prostitution, addiction and gender identification.

Some of those topics are hard for some people to hear, and for some people to ‘act’ within, but we must,” Blair said. “History is to be told so it won’t be repeated.

Theater is a mechanism to do just that, but there is also love and happiness in the wonderful story of ‘Cabaret.’”

Actors have their own unique challenges for the show. Whether it is learning accents, elaborate choreography, complex music or the depth of their characters, every actor must embrace the challenge in order to put on a successful performance.

Perone, who is naturally a soprano, said she had a very unique challenge dealing with the complex music she has to perform in the show.

“Technically, the songs are in a bit of an uncomfortable range for me.

They’re quite low, and I’m used to singing soprano

roles,” Perone said. “‘Cabaret’ is an incredibly difficult song to sing, and of course, it’s the title song and the one everyone knows from the movie, so the prospect of having to sing it terrified me at first.”

Perone said her part in the musical is also challenging because of the complexity of her character.

Because of the content and language in the show, parental guidance is advised.

“I would like to tell students of WVU that Cabaret is not like any musical you’ve ever seen before.

Sure, we have our fair share

of glitter and feathers and even a kick line, and I guarantee that you will be entertained, but we’ve also got an incredibly important and powerful story to tell that will stay with you long after you’ve left the theatre,” Perone said. “What good is sitting alone in your room? Come and hear the music play – life is a cabaret, old chum; come to the cabaret.”

“Cabaret” is in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre and will run Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. shawnee.moran@mail.wvu.edu

‘Paul and Erin Go to Bed’ highlights relationship troubles Westley thompson a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

There was only one set, a small apartment which Paul and Erin shared in the play “Paul and Erin Goes to Bed.” The set design was interesting due to the sketches from local artists adorning the walls of the room of M.T. Pockets.

The show started with the main characters meeting each other at a party.

Paul (Shenendoah Thompson), in typical party fash-

ion, cracks corny jokes to flirt with Erin (Lauren Weigel Swann) and they begin to enjoy each other’s company. The play quickly flashes, to an argument they are having later in time, and then back again to the joy of first meeting. After the party, they go home together for the night.

A couple of days later, Paul and Erin are talking to friends on the phone.

They admit to liking the other, but aren’t overly enthusiastic about developing a relationship. Both

seem to continue forward out of a sense of necessity, and being stuck in life. Erin worries about getting older and finding a partner. Paul hints about a dark past, clearly lacks self esteem, and feels he can do no better than her.

And so Paul and Erin begin dating. The play highlights their two-year relationship through a series of short events. One common theme is seen throughout: they definitely aren’t meant for each other.

No matter what hap-

pens, something always goes wrong between the two characters. Erin’s medical school exams make her short tempered and she reacts poorly to some of Paul’s gestures of affection.

Paul begins to feels inferior to Erin and her friends, for while they work at a hospital, he works in a call center. He often feels persecuted, like he is the brunt of the jokes when they go out as a couple.

The play climax comes at this last big fight. As the heated argument ensues, Paul finally admits his dark secret – when he was in high school, he joined his friends and gang raped a girl in a basement.

While Paul regrets the action, Erin considers this the final straw. When Paul wakes up the next morning, Erin is packing her

bags. As she walks out the door, he asks for a handshake, a gesture he explained as being deeply important to him earlier on. She denies this and leaves for good.

The final scene involved a flashback of the two characters at the party where they first met, a startling contrast to where they ended up.

The actors were able to portray many emotional states convincingly, within short periods and made the characters seem like real individuals.

Despite the overall negative tone of the relationship, Paul and Erin still had sweet and good moments.

This gave the play a sense of realism because, if a relationship was horrible, nobody would stay in it. It was those occasional pleasant moments that gave the two char-

acters hope for it to all work out.

In real life it seems many relationships are made from two people settling with both lacking the confidence to find the right person.

Even if a relationship starts out with both parties not settling, once things go wrong, some people stay longer than they should, effectively wasting their time spent in that relationship : time that could be spent finding the right person.

“Paul and Erin Go to Bed” was a well written, acted and directed play.

Its message was dark, but truthful, and serves as a good reminder to take risks in life. If something isn’t working out, don’t let low self-esteem keep you there 24/7, take a leap and move on. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

MULTIMEDIA EDITOR @DAILYATHENAEUM

Holgorsen outcoached once again against Kansas State It was the same script Saturday for Kansas State and legendary head coach Bill Snyder. This time, there were just different players executing. In two consecutive seasons, Snyder has exploited West Virginia by going against what he believes in as a head coach.

Give Snyder credit: he completely outcoached Dana Holgorsen Saturday by using the exact game plan he used a year ago.

In 2012, with both teams highly ranked, Snyder and his team relied on then-soon-to-beHeisman finalist Collin Klein to rush the football in order to create offense.

This year, Snyder has relied on Daniel Sams to reignite the Wildcat rushing attack.

G o i ng i nto 2 0 1 2 ’s matchup, Klein had backto-back games in which he rushed for more than 100 yards and four straight games in which he registered at least one rushing touchdown. Coming into Saturday’s game, Sams had back-to-back games with more than 100 rushing yards, and five of six games in which he registered at least one rushing score.

Both in 2012 and this year, in the days leading up to West Virginia and Kansas State meeting up on the football field, Holgorsen talked about the preparation it would take to slow down these running quarterbacks.

A year ago, Holgorsen and then-defensive coordinator Joe DeForest keyed in on Klein’s toughness and patience while running the football.

The problem was Snyder was ready for a loaded box to slow down the rushing attack, so he decided to pick apart a down West Virginia secondary.

Snyder called for 21 passing plays in 2012 against WVU, the most attempts Klein had thrown all year.

Klein completed 19 of them for 323 yards and three touchdowns.

Bill Snyder pinpointed a weakness and took advantage of it.

This year, Holgorsen readied his team to face the explosive Daniel Sams.

“Daniel Sams presents problems from an athletic point of view, as he is their leading rusher,” Holgorsen said. “He averages more than six yards per carry. He has run the ball 86 times. We will have to keep him in check. He is 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, really fast, very athletic and will hurt you with his feet.”

But just like a year ago, Snyder went against his own grain and decided to take advantage of matchups. After a week of hearing how Sams would rush the ball, Snyder used both Sams and Jake Waters to throw the football all over the field.

Sams was a perfect 8 of 8 for 98 yards and a score, while Waters had his best game completing 10 of 13 passes for 198 yards and three scores.

Holgorsen and his team were fooled again by Kansas State. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU quarterback Clint Trickett looks down in Saturday’s game against Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan.

WVU loses its third straight game, falls to Kansas State 35-12 in Manhattan Saturday by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

It was a tale of two halves Saturday as West Virginia dropped its third-straight game, falling 35-12 on the road to the Kansas State Wildcats.

West Virginia controlled the first half from a statistical perspective, converting 11 first downs while totaling 221 yards of offense and holding the ball for 15:55.

The West Virginia defense held Kansas State to 142 total yards and five first-downs and had success getting off the field on third-down, as it held the Wildcats to a success rate of 1-5 on third-down.

Despite dominating the stat sheet in the first half,

West Virginia only held a slight 9-7 lead heading into the locker room.

Late in the first half, West Virginia had the ball in the red zone and was looking to take a two-score lead into halftime. When the drive stalled, head coach Dana Holgorsen elected to try a fake field goal, rather than taking an almost guaranteed three points that would have given West Virginia a 12-7 lead.

When holder Michael Molinari’s run was stopped short of the first down marker, West Virginia came away with nothing.

“Everything’s my call …

There (are) a lot of things disturbing with what we do offensively. It wasn’t the correct look, and it wasn’t the correct call,” Holgorsen said.

The script flipped completely in the second half as the Kansas State defense shut down West Virginia’s offense, and the Wildcat offense, led by its two quarterbacks Daniel Sams and Jake Waters, scored 28 second half points to send the Mountaineers home with a loss.

“It’s a huge concern. It’s a four-quarter game. We talk about it being a fourquarter game, and we talk about how we have to finish everything that we do.

That doesn’t happen to good teams,” Holgorsen said.

The Wildcat offense converted six of its seven second half third-downs and dominated the time of possession battle, holding the ball for 35:32 compared to West Virginia’s 24:28.

“For us to be a good defense and take the next step, we’ve got to play consistently,” said West Virginia defensive coordinator Keith Patterson. “We got off the field in the first half and didn’t get off the field in the second half. It’s the key to what we do.”

In the third quarter, Kansas State took a 14-12 lead on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Daniel Sams to receiver Tyler Lockett, which capped off a 14-play, 78-yard drive that took 8:24 off the clock.

From that point on, Kansas State dominated West Virginia. The Wildcat offense scored three more times while West Virginia’s offense all but disappeared.

“Football games are 60 minutes (long). It’s a long

time to focus, but you’ve got to be able to focus and concentrate for extended periods of time, and until we learn to do that we’re not going to get over the hump defensively,” Patterson said.

“It’s the same thing I said against Texas Tech. It’s the same thing it was today.

When it came (to be) crunch time, just like last week when Texas Tech executed, we didn’t. (It was the) same thing today.

Kansas State executed in the second half, and we didn’t.”

With the loss, West Virginia’s record drops to 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the Big 12. The Mountaineers travel to Fort Worth to play TCU at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers win Big 12 championship over weekend by joe mitchin sports writer @dAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia women’s soccer team earned just one victory this weekend when the team traveled to Oklahoma and Texas Tech.

Luckily for WVU, that’s all the Mountaineers needed to secure their second straight Big 12 regular season championship.

No. 6 West Virginia took down Oklahoma Friday night in Norman, Okla., in a 2-1 double-overtime victory.

WVU needed to come from behind to win the match, as it trailed in 64th minute after OU’s Daisy Cardona took a rebounded shot off of WVU goalkeeper Sara

Keane. The gritty Mountaineers didn’t die easily, however. Senior forward Frances Silva tied the game in the 80th minute with her teamand conference-leading 12th goal of the season. Silva received a ball inside the box and hammered one past a diving effort of OU keeper Kassidie Stade. Ninety minutes wouldn’t be enough as the two sides headed for extra time.

After a scoreless first overtime period, it took WVU less than two minutes in doubleovertime for junior forward Kate Schwindel to drive past several Sooners and cash in the game-winner. The goal was Schwindel’s 11th of the year and won West Virginia a Big 12 title for the second

consecutive season.

West Virginia outshot Oklahoma 20-5, including holding an on-goal advantage of 9-4. Keane made three saves for the Mountaineers while Stade kept OU in the game for most of the night, saving seven shots.

“I thought Oklahoma’s goalkeeper was brilliant tonight,” said WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “She came up with some unbelievable saves. I thought Oklahoma did a really good job trying to throw us off balance, but tonight was just a matter of us figuring out how to break them down and get that goal.

This game can be brutal.”

With the conference title already in the bag, the Mountaineers traveled to No.

7 Texas Tech Sunday evening in the regular season finale.

West Virginia fell to the Red Raiders 2-0. WVU conceded goals in the 40th and 52nd minute of the match in the first regular season conference loss since West Virginia joined the Big 12.

The Mountaineers end the 2013 regular season with a 133-2 record. The loss Sunday snapped current nine-game winning streak for WVU and a 15-game regular season conference winning streak. It was West Virginia’s first loss since Sept. 15.

Despite the loss, WVU will receive the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big 12 tournament. The Mountaineers finished 7-1 inside the league, while Texas Tech (15-1-2) will

likely be No. 2.

West Virginia outshot Texas Tech 13-11 overall and 4-3 in shots on-goal.

“To win four straight conference championships says a lot, not only about the alumni but also the character of this program and this team,” IzzoBrown said. “It’s a great feeling to witness this team play again and see how much they battled for another championship. I’m so excited we get to bring this home because this is a great one.”

West Virginia will play again Nov. 6 in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinal in Kansas City. Seeding and matchups will be announced next weekend. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S SOCCER

West Virginia draws with Western Michigan Saturday by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia men’s soccer team posted its third straight shutout en route to a 0-0 draw Saturday evening at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The game marked the Mountaineers’ second straight draw and third in the last four games. West Virginia outshot Western Michigan 11-5, including three shots by forward Jamie Merriam.

West Virginia is now 6-6-4 on the season and 1-2-1 in Mid-American Conference play, while Western Michigan is now 2-0-1.

Mer r iam had tw o of WVU’s three best chances, starting with a shot in the 39th min-

ute that was saved by Western Michigan goalkeeper Chase Rau. In the 100th minute, Merriam nearly won the game on a rebounded shot, but it blasted over the goal.

Another chance came in the 19th minute, when Andy Bevin was taken down in the box, drawing a penalty kick. Majed Osman took the shot, but it was stopped by Rau. “Their goalkeeper made three good saves in that game,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “But there’s no excuses to be made when you miss chances like that. You end up with a (zero) on the scoreboard.”

Despite being outshot by six, the Broncos had their chances as well.

In the second overtime, Connor Furgason headed

a shot that was stopped by freshman Alex Ochoa on the goal line for a team save. Soon after, Ryan Lemasters hit the post and Furgason’s rebound attempt sailed past the goal and out of play.

The Broncos had five goal saves in all, while Mountaineers goalkeeper Lee Johnston had one save.

“The performance was good, but at the end of the day, the result was a draw. There was only one team trying to win this game tonight, and that was us,” LeBlanc said.

“You hate to see (soccer) being played in that manner, where one team isn’t necessarily even trying to win the game. But you have to give credit where credit is due – they sat back and defended

well.”

Despite not scoring, the Mountaineers still lead the MAC in goals and points, with 23 and 81, respectively. Their 53 assists also leads the conference, and 1.53 goals per game ranks No. 2.

West Virginia has two crucial games remaining on its schedule, starting with MAC rival Buffalo Friday. The Bulls are 1-3 in conference play, but just 3-9-3 on the season.

“If we would’ve stuck with it, I think (a goal) w o u l d’v e e v e nt u a l l y came,” LeBlanc said.

“But that being said, it’s a shutout for us and we’ll take the point. We’ll try and go out and get three points at Buffalo on Friday.”

WVU earns bronze medal finish at Head of the Schuylkill by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University rowing team completed their second regatta of the fall season Saturday at the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta in Philadelphia.

WVU came away with a bronze medal finish in the women’s open 4+. However, the Mountaineers did

not compete up to expectations. Head coach Jimmy King said he was not pleased with his team’s performance in Philadelphia. “(It was a) frustrating day for the Mountaineers overall on the Schuylkill,” he said.

WVU’s sole bronze medal performance of the day came in a close race in the women’s open four+. The Mountaineers “A” boat of Elizabeth Duarte, Elizabeth Kantak, Karen Verwey, Courtney Schrand

and coxswain Emily Deming took home the bronze with a time of 16:55.31. Duquesne won the gold medal with a 16:52.23, just beating out Holy Cross who took silver with a time of 16:52.64. WVU’s “B” boat finished No. 10 and the “C” boat finished No. 15.

In the college/club open eights+ final, the boat of Melinda Sharon, Kelly Kramer, Hannah Onians, Tamyra Roberts, Mollie Rosen, Megan Brophy, Duarte, Schrand

and coxswain Morgan Leach led the way for the Mountaineers with a No. 8 finish, crossing the line in a time of 16:42.58. WVU’s “B” and “C” crews took No. 16 and No. 34 place, respectively. Drexel won the race with a time of 16:18.60.

WVU earned a No. 12 finish in the open heavy championship 8+ with the crew of Duarte, Kramer, Rosen, Rachel Cokeley, Jessica Hurlbert, Kantak, Verwey,

Schrand and coxswain Mallory Fisher crossing the line in 16:46.80. Trinity won the race in a time of 15:41.43.

King said he knows the pressure he puts on his squad isn’t easy, but he expected more out of the team. With a few regattas left in 2013, King knows the time is now for his team to step up and perform well.

“I certainly don’t make it easy for our team bringing them into this regatta, tired

from training, then racing them two and three times on the day. I have always used the fall regattas as part of our training rather than events for which we train. Regardless of the circumstances, we expected better results on the day.”

The Mountaineers will compete Saturday at the Head of the Occoquan in Fairfax, Va. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

VOLLEYBALL

Mountaineers fall to Oklahoma Saturday afternoon by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia volleyball team finished off its toughest stretch of play this season by falling in straight sets (15-25, 14-25, 20-25) to Oklahoma Saturday afternoon. The Sooners (18-4, 6-2 Big 12) are the third straight WVU oppo-

nent ranked in the RPI top 15.

Head coach Jill Kramer said she is disappointed by the results of her team during the stretch, but she said she believes playing against a high level competition will eventually help.

“We will get in the gym and get better. We have played three teams consecutively who are ranked No. 1, No. 11,

and No. 15 in the RPI, respectively,” Kramer said. “That will make us a better team, because we have competed hard against them.”

The Sooners’ offensive charge was lead by senior middle blocker Sallie McLaurin.

McLaurin posted a .345 hitting clip, led her team with 14 kills and chipped in three blocks.

driguez hit .478 and .474 clips respectively to help energize the Oklahoma offense.

The Mountaineers (16-7, 2-6 Big 12) took an early 9-7 in the first set before Oklahoma responded with a 6-0 run.

The Sooners dictated the tempo of the opening set by notching 15 team kills while hitting a .353 clip. Eight errors and .032 hitting percentage al-

lowed Oklahoma to take the first set 15-25.

“Oklahoma played great today. I thought they had a great day defensively and just didn’t commit many errors offensively,” Kramer said.

“They really made us earn our points. We were very high-error and just seemed to have a tough time getting in a rhythm offensively.”

The Mountaineers will return back to Morgantown to take on Marshall Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., inside the WVU Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

football

WVU offensive woes continue in loss to Wildcats by doug walp

gorsen’s offense was No. 8 and No. 3 in the nation in total offense.

In 2008, Holgorsen became the offensive coordinator at the University of Houston. By the end of his first year, the Cougars’ offense ranked No. 3 in the country in total offense. By 2009, Holgorsen was the brains behind the No. 1 offense in all of college football at Houston.

In 2010, Holgorsen went to Oklahoma State, where the Cowboys had the No. 61 offense upon his arrival.

By the end of the year, Holgorsen had again established the top offense in the entire country, averaging 537.6 yards per game.

Of course West Virginia fans may be more familiar with the jobs he did in 2011 and 2012 upon arriving in Morgantown. The Mountaineers averaged 469.5 yards and 37.6 points per game in 2011 and then 502 yards and 39.5 points per game in the 2012 season.

But in 2013, the Mountaineers are averaging close to 20 points less (22.9 ppg) than in 2012, good enough for No. 96 among 125 FBS teams. And at just 395.1 yards per game, WVU’s offense is officially the low-

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Through West Virginia’s first seven games, head coach Dana Holgorsen referred to his offense as disappointing, inexperienced and embarrassing.

Now, after the Mountaineers scored just 12 points against a Kansas State team that came into Saturday’s game without a single win in conference play, Holgorsen had to employ some new adjectives.

“It’s disturbing,” Holgorsen said. “There’s a lot of things disturbing with what we do offensively.

“It’s the same old deal.

We’re not scoring. We’re not finishing drives. We’re not finishing blocks. We’re not making people miss in the open. We’re not catching the ball downfield. It keeps me up at night. We’re not playing winning offensive football.”

It’s definitely uncharted territory for the third-year head coach, whose prolific offenses have run wild throughout college football over the last seven years.

During the two years as offensive coordinator at Texas Tech in 2006-07, Hol-

est producing Holgorsen coached offense since he first became an offensive coordinator in 2006.

To make matters worse, Saturday’s loss against 3-4 Kansas State may have been the offense’s lowest point yet. “(In the) third quarter we ran five plays,” said WVU offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. “And then the fourth quarter, obviously just complete nonexecution of routine plays.

Wide-open people, just can’t hit (them). And they can’t catch it when we do.”

The struggles eventually got so bad in the second half that Holgorsen had to pull his starting quarterback, although clearly to no avail.

“You’ve got to be able to throw to open people and complete it, and Clint (Trickett) was not doing a good job of that,” Holgorsen said. “At that point, when we were down two touchdowns, we obviously have to pick the pace up.

We have to run the twominute offense. We have to throw the ball a lot more.

“Clint wasn’t doing a very good job of that at that point, so we went with Paul (Millard) because Paul has

a little more experience in just spreading the ball around. (I) thought he did a very average job.”

On the heels of those statements, it may not be at stretch to assume West Virginia will have another edition of quarterback carousel this week leading into next weekend’s matchup against TCU, although Holgorsen didn’t specifically address that following the game.

Quarterback issuesaside, the Mountaineers’ coaches also seem to believe problems within the offense stem a lot deeper than the production, or lack thereof, from just a single position.

Holgorsen said despite how it might look, he’s actually seen somewhat measurable improvement from his offense from week to week this season, just ultimately not enough to be considered competitive in West Virginia’s new conference home.

“Are we improving? Does it look better at times? Yes.” Holgorsen said. “Is it good enough to win a Big 12 football game? Absolutely not.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

RIFLE

No. 5 Mountaineers defeat Army in conference match by meghan carr

and air rifle marks, were all season-highs.

“I am pleased with today,” said head coach Jon Hammond. “We had really good scores in smallbore, and we were consistent. Nothing was spectacular, but everyone improved across the board. We were surprised to see how high the team score was.”

Sophomore Garrett Spurgeon placed No. 1 in smallbore with a score of 586 and No. 2 in air rifle (590) for the second week in a row. His smallbore score and combined score of 1176 were both season-highs.

Hammond said he was im-

The No. 5 West Virginia University rifle team won its third match and second Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) match of the 2013-14 season Saturday with a 46954669 victory against No. 12 Army at the WVU Rifle Range.

The Mountaineers (3-0, 2-0 GARC) won both guns, out-shooting Army (2-2, 1-2 GARC) 2337-2325 in smallbore, and 2358-2344 in air rifle.

The Mountaineers’ team score, as well as smallbore

pressed with Spurgeon’s improvement during the past few weeks.

“It’s pleasing to see Garrett show some consistency,” he said. “He’s definitely one of our strongest smallbore shooters. Each week he has improved, and it’s great to see him put in another strong performance today.”

In addition to Spurgeon’s No. 1 place in smallbore, the Mountaineers also took the No. 3, No. 5 and No. 6 place in the gun. Junior Meelis Kiisk shot a 585 and placed No. 3, while junior Thomas Kyanko placed No. 5 (583), and sophomore Patrick Sunderman

placed No. 6 (583). All scores were season highs.

Chance Cover’s score also counted for the smallbore team. Cover placed No. 13 in the gun, shooting a 571 mark.

Army’s Joseph Todaro shot a 585 and Michael Matthews shot a 583 to take No. 2 and No. 4 in smallbore, respectively.

Junior Maren Prediger won air rifle for the second time this season with a 596 score, just three points short of her season and career-high against Ohio State.

Senior Daniel Sojka placed No. 3 in air rifle with a 589 score, a season-high and

one point short of his careerbest score. He added a smallbore score of 580, giving him a combined total of 1169, one point short of his career record.

“It was great to see Daniel put in a good performance after last week,” Hammond said. “He was solid in both guns. He’s been working hard, and it’s really nice to see that he was so close to his highs in both.”

In air rifle, Prediger and junior Taylor Ciatola’s scores counted toward the Mountaineer victory. Ciotola shot 586 in the gun, good enough for No. 7.

Sophomore Olivia Nardone, senior Richard Calvin and Matthews took No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 in air rifle, all with a 587 score for the Black Knights.

Kiisk, Spurgeon and Sunderman completed the Mountaineer scoring squad in the scorings for both guns.

Mountaineer redshirt freshman Jean-Pierre Lucas surpassed his career-high smallbore score (574) and scored a 584 in air rifle.

Saturday’s win improves WVU to 34-10 all-time against the Black Knights. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
