WVU earns NIH stroke grant by alexa mcclennen correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Thanks to a federally funded grant by the National Institute of Health, West Virginia University is now gearing to become a nationally recognized center for stroke research using cutting-edge science.

Over the next five years, WVU will be awarded $10.7 million. This year, it is awarded $2.1 million to help fund and mentor five junior investigators and their research programs being conducted to help assist f strokes in West Virginia.

The grant will also go to support core resources for the Centers of Biomedical Research Excellence, a program within the National Institute for General Medi-

cal Sciences that focuses on mentoring the members involved with the grant and enhancing research skills.

This is the third time WVU has been awarded the COBRE Grant.

“A great benefit from this grant is that it recognizes West Virginia University as having a great potential in neurological sciences and the potential to become nationally recognized in this field. The NIH wouldn’t have funded us if they did not believe that,” said Jim Simpkins, director of the WVU Center for Basic and Translational Stroke Research.

“It’s our job to deliver on that potential.”

Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in not only West Virginia, but the entire country. In West Virginia alone, 1,200-1,300 people

not a rare occurrence where we see stroke patients in their mid-thirties come into Ruby Memorial Hospital. It’s completely unacceptable for someone in the prime of their life, we need to address this and that is what this grant is for,” Simpkins said.

The innovative group of five junior investigators is made up of WVU assis-

tant professors using their knowledge and expertise to work together on separate researches to help solve this epidemic.

Tara Barr, an assistant professor for WVU School of nursing, is working under the grant to help better understand the biomarkers of treatment response and diagnoses of a stroke patient when first being admitted into the emergency room.

She explained while each investigator has their own subfield they are working on, each one is just as important as the other to make this research successful.

“A lot of the concepts we are all working on requires us to work with each other.

When I think about where we need to go just as a science, it

IT’S CRAMMIN’ TIME

Students join girls from Chi Omega in their PRT Cram attempt.

Chi Omega falls short of record, only crams 73 people into PRT car for Mountaineer Week by jennifer skinner staff writer @dailyathenaeum

“You can’t spell ‘party’ without ‘PRT!’” students exclaimed as they wildly recruited people in front of the Mountainlair to join them in the annual West Virginia University PRT Cram.

“20 seconds! Get on!”

From 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

Monday, members of the Mountaineer Week committee organized the

event by signing up teams and officially timing and counting people getting on and off the PRT. A WVU Mountaineer Week tradition, the PRT Cram encourages groups of students to compete for the greatest number of students packed into one PRT car that comfortably fits 16.

Typically started by fraternities and sororities, these teams are given two minutes to get as many people as they can into the

car. To be counted toward the group’s total number of people in the car, participants must have one arm and one leg in the car, and they must be standing or sitting, not lying down.

“It’s a lot of very passionate groups seeing how many people can come together into one PRT,” Mountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia said. “It’s just fun to call on people on the sidewalks and see people run over from all different directions.”

Chi Omega set this year’s record with 73 people. The sorority set the overall record several years ago with 97 people.

“It’s exhilarating to be laughing and cramming together all in the excitement for the weekend,” said Lindsey Duda, a senior exercise and physiology student and member of Chi Omega who participated in this year’s Cram.

“It shows how unified our school is and how

much pride people take in our University and still be able to do fun silly things like this,” Duda said.

Students who took part in the cram described their experiences as “hot,” “squishy” and “crowded,” and they agreed that Mountaineer Week traditions like the PRT cram are getting the campus excited for the football game this Saturday against Texas Christian University. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

US Senate Race

Capito visits Morgantown to thank campaign supporters by jacob bojesson & Evelyn Merithew da staff @dailyathenaeum

With the midterm elections just a week away, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W. Va., made an appearance in Morgantown, W.Va., Monday to thank her campaign staff and supporters, and ask for one last push before voters hit the booths next Tuesday.

Capito mingled with supporters during the rally at her campaign office on High Street. Although there are only a few days left to gain voter support, Capito feels confident in what she and her team have done leading up to this point.

“I feel great. I (have) a lot of people that are really serious about making a change in the United

States Senate and I feel like I’m getting a lot of positive reinforcement, so I’m excited,” she said. “I’m ready for it to end.”

Capito has held a firm lead over Democratic candidate and West Virginia Secretary of State, Natalie Tennant, in the polls throughout the race, but she takes nothing for granted and urged her supporters to continue to work during the last week of campaigning.

She even took it upon herself to make phone calls to local households, who were surprised by who they had on the line.

“It’s really about touching new voters, thanking people, getting more people to the polls (and) reinforcing the fact that changing the Senate is important

Morgantown is expending roughly $45,000 to cover the costs of the damages sustained to the city, as well as replenishing the stocks of riot control equipment, following the win over Baylor.

Damages were assessed by all city departments, including Public Works who reported $7,478.83 spent toward repairs, resupplying town equipment and compensating labor and overtime. Among the various costs: $1,792.03 was reported to repair damaged street lights, along with $600 to replace two light posts and bases torn down during the events of Oct. 18. Other expenditures include $718.44 to replace and reinstall traffic signs torn down by rioters.

The Fire Department reported nearly $4,000 to replace damaged items and pay for overtime. Not included in this figure was the cost to repair damaged vehicles during the riots; $2,500 was spent in repairs to vehicles and engines that sustained damages from thrown rocks or bottles. $100 was spent repairing damages to a vehicle exposed to tear gas.

The department has also requested $2,211.15 in items needed for personal protection, including helmets and gas masks.

The Morgantown Police Department is spending a total of $28,209.13 of ordered equipment and supplies to replace the gear that was used, along with revamping stocks for any future scenarios.

“The majority of it is to re-equip the ammunitions that were expended,” said City Manager Jeff Mikorski.

“There are a few things that we’re adding to the equipment list, but the majority is for expendable things that we need re-equipped.”

The various equipment being ordered includes riot shields, smoke rounds, pepper spray cans and pepper balls, specific equipment needed to release pepper balls into a crowd and gas masks.

Morgantown Police also totaled $3,716.64 in overtime following the weekends events.

There were approximately 50 responders against the group of an estimated 5,000 rioters. The Morgantown Police Department was joined by the West Virginia State Police, the Monongalia County Sheriff ’s Department and the University police officers.

“I am proud of our police officers, fire fighters and Public Works employees, and on the way they responded in a professional manner throughout Saturday night and Sunday morning that eliminated serious injuries,” Mikorski said.

“For a city of 30,000 the staffing is fine, but in extraordinar y situations like this where we’ve got around 50 police and firefighters, that many people trying to suppress three to five thousand people doing reckless things is a hard thing to do,” Mikorski said.

Mikorski said the city needs to prepare for the worst case scenario and hope they don’t have to use the resupplied equipment in the future.

Christie says GOP could win in Obama states

AP

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie poses for a selfie with Bryan Traeger of West Des Moines during Gov. Terry Branstad’s birthday bash on Saturday in Clive, Iowa. Christie, returning to Iowa to headline one of the biggest events on the state’s political calendar, criticized President Barack Obama in a fiery speech Saturday night that sounded like the early makings of a presidential pitch.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday said Republicans had positioned themselves to succeed in gubernatorial races in Democraticleaning states carried by President Barack Obama, an effort that could burnish the New Jersey Republican’s potential 2016 presidential bid.

Christie said in an interview with “Fox News Sunday� that Republicans face a “daunting task� in defending 22 of 36 governor’s seats in November’s election but pointed to competitive campaigns in Michigan, Massachusetts, Illinois and Connecticut as fresh evidence of offense heading into the campaign’s final week.

The head of the Republican Governors Association, Christie dismissed criticism his organization had not done enough to support embattled Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, another potential 2016 GOP presidential contender. “I am a complete Scott Walker supporter, always have been, and we’re going to work as hard as we can to make sure he’s reelected, and I believe he will be re-elected,� Christie said. He said the RGA had spent $6 million on the race this year and he plans to campaign twice for Walker in Wisconsin during the final week.

Christie remains popular with establishment

Republicans and has presented himself as an outside force who could attract voters in Republican and Democratic-leaning states alike who remain disillusioned with dysfunction in the nation’s capital. He has sought to repair his image amid the investigation of politically motivated lane closures near the George Washington Bridge last year.

In the interview, Christie reiterated that he had nothing to do with the bridge scandal and said he would make a decision on a presidential campaign in the beginning of 2015. “All the people of New Jersey know and need to know is that I absolutely

had nothing to do with this, and that seems to be the conclusion that some folks are coming to as well, and I know it will be the conclusion ultimately also because I know the truth,� he said.

Christie’s interview followed a fiery speech on Saturday in Iowa in which the governor presented himself in sharp contrast to Obama, an address that sounded like the early makings of a presidential pitch.

The governor painted the picture of a country hungry for leadership and a world adrift, with a feckless White House to blame. “America used to control events both here at home

and around the world. And now it seems that our fate is being dictated to us by others,� Christie said in Iowa, bemoaning what he described as “an extraordinary vacuum of leadership in this country.�

Christie was the featured speaker at fellow GOP Gov. Terry Branstad’s Saturday birthday bash in Clive, outside Des Moines.

The event was one of the biggest on the state’s political calendar and gave Christie another opportunity to introduce himself to Republican activists, voters and fundraisers who could propel a potential White House bid in 2016.

The governor has actively campaigned for gu-

bernatorial candidates across the country this fall, helping him raise his profile among voters in a number of states. Christie was holding campaign events on Sunday in Florida for Republican Gov. Rick Scott, who faces Democrat Charlie Crist in one of the nation’s tightest governor’s races.

In the Fox interview, he said 12 races remain toss-ups and specifically vouched for Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder along with Republican candidates Charlie Baker in Massachusetts, Bruce Rauner in Illinois, Tom Foley in Connecticut and Larry Hogan in Maryland. Obama carried all five of the states in 2008 and 2012.

Being a Republican and being at a University is probably not the most popular thing in the world, so these guys are expressing their beliefs and their future, and they believe it’s in the hands of people who want prosperity,� she said.

During her address at the rally, Capito touched on how she believes positive change in West Virginia starts on Capitol Hill.

Capito said she wants to be “West Virginia’s voice� in the Senate, a voice she said has been absent in recent years. “For me this is about changing West Virginia’s voice in the United States Senate,� she said. “It’s about

I want to be that voice. I want to stand up for all of you, for your futures.�

The outcome of the elections next week will give an idea of the political climate the country can expect during President Barack Obama’s last two years in the White House.

With time ticking away, Capito hopes her advocates will encourage West Virginians to vote next week. “It’s really about touching new voters, thanking people, getting more people to the polls. I’m appreciative of the effort,� she said. “Let’s make sure we get everybody out, we don’t leave any stone unturned.

We have the intensity and the enthusiasm on our side.

There has never been a better time for West Virginia to make a change so let’s make sure that happens on Election Day.� carl.bojesson@mail.wvu.edu

Healthy, cheap college meals: Lemons stuffed inside a chicken Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @WestleyT93

College students have two big limitations: time and money. While balancing schoolwork, employment, extracurricular activities and everything else life throws at you, food often comes in at the bottom of the priority list.

Sadly, this means students too often find themselves scarfing down a pizza or other junk food late at night or between classes. This is unhealthy, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

Cooking your own food can actually be cheaper and easier than buying fast

food constantly. What’s the secret? A whole chicken and a crockpot. Those are the only two things you need to ascend to culinary greatness. With only those two things, you can eat for a little more than $6 a week.

The first step is to go to the store and buy a whole chicken. These can be found in the meat aisle near the other chickens.

It may be tempting to buy boneless chicken breasts, or drumsticks and thighs, but overcome this impulse of convenience. Pound for pound, a whole chicken is much cheaper than any of the more processed forms.

It may seem silly, but even just cutting the leg off and packaging it separately significantly drives the price up for you, the consumer.

A whole chicken is approximately $6, while just a couple boneless, skinless breasts are $5 and change.

While at the supermarket, it’s also a good time to purchase things that go in the crockpot to flavor the chicken. For example, lemons add a nice citrus flavor. Onions and garlic can also be tasty, but feel free to experiment. Half the fun of cooking is trying out what works and what doesn’t.

Once you get all of your ingredients home, preparation is easy. Start by plugging in your crockpot and taking the chicken out of the wrapper. Removing it from the wrapper is best done over the sink since there will be a lot of liquids pouring out.

The next step is to check inside the chicken’s body cavity for a bag of giblets.

Giblets is a ridiculous word meaning “bird organs.”

They are usually packaged inside a little plastic bag and put back into the chicken at the processing plant. I usually remove them and throw them out, but if you’re feeling a little Hannibal Lecter-y, feel free to just remove the plastic bag and feast on the organs.

The third step is the fun part. This is where you will add flavoring ingredients to the chicken. This step is also quite easy. Just take whatever you bought, lemons, onions or what have you, cut them up and stuff them inside the chicken’s body cavity. I fit two whole lemons inside a six

pound chicken once. It was crazy. For those feeling a little adventurous, you can also separate the skin from the meat and put some herbs or thinly sliced citrus underneath the skin.

Now just put the chicken in the crockpot, add a little salt, pepper and broth if you’d like, set the crockpot for 8 hours, and leave.

That’s it. Go to class, go to the gym, find a job, call grandma, whatever you’d like. As you go on with your day, your chicken will be at home, cooking without a single bit of effort from you. This isn’t only easy, but has the added benefit of making your house smell amazing.

After the eight hours are up, you can come home to

a tasty, cheap and healthy meal. The meat will literally be falling off the bone, so pick the bones out and enjoy. The crockpot does the job of breaking the meat into bite-sized bits as well, so there is even more convenience. This functions great as leftovers and can be used in a variety of dishes. Try adding your leftovers to rice, couscous or ramen. You can even throw some sriracha sauce on it and put the now spicy chicken on top of nachos and cheese for a great afternoon snack.

So, for little effort and little money, you can have a lot of good food. Experiment in the kitchen and see what works for you. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

‘About a Boy’ delights sitcom fans Hello Kitty convention comes to LA

By Jillian Clemente A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

If there’s any show on Netflix right now to fall in love with, it’s “About a Boy.” The first season was recently uploaded in concurrence with the premiere of the new season, and it’s worth your time to watch all 13 episodes to catch up before starting season two.

This show is, yes, about a boy. It starts out with Will Freeman (David Walton) living the single life in San Francisco, Calif., because of a monthly royalty check from a hit Christmas song he wrote 10 years ago. His life is shaken for the better when strange hippie neighbors Fiona (Minnie Driver) and her son, Marcus (Benjamin Stockham) move in next door.

They meet somewhat awkwardly, with Will meeting his new neighbors for the first time in his boxer shorts after almost hooking up with a woman.

After that, hilarity ensues. Marcus runs away from bullies and Will helps him in exchange for Marcus pretending to be his child for an episode.

The episodes only get cuter from there, with neighbors budding up to become close friends in various situations. For example, Marcus eats meat with Will, something Fiona, a vegan, is vehemently against. Fiona becomes more relaxed and a little less of a hippie while bonding with Will. Marcus even gets the sex talk from Will, which is one of

‘About a Boy’ mixes humor with heartfelt moments. the funniest episodes (episode 5, for any interested).

All the characters have their strange quirks that perfectly dovetail into creating the cutest, most lovable neighborship. This whole premise of neighbors becoming best friends seems new to the TV screen to me, which is why I like this new, fresh idea.

Throughout the entire first season, the characters grew into better, more likable people and the writers really found the characters’ places in the script.

Basically, Will and Marcus become best friends and Fiona begins to appreciate Will as Marcus’ father figure in his life. The emotional connection between characters is so lifelike and meaningful that

you can’t help but fall in love with the whole trio of neighbors.

Will even matures and gets serious about a girl about halfway through the season.

However, with Dr. Sam (Adrianne Palicki), Will’s love interest throws his whole life in a tizzy, causing him to make drastic life decisions.

And that’s where season 2 picks up. After a heartwrenching season packed to the brim about Will’s huge decision, Will is back and Marcus is a little more mature.

Things are totally different, yet haven’t changed.

You can watch season two at 9:30 p.m. Tuesdays on CBS. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Marty Garrett and Salumeh Eslamieh gave up their garage for Hello Kitty.

The married couple turned the garage of their San Francisco home into a permanent showroom for their vast Hello Kitty collection. Museum-style glass cases hold hundreds of rare and vintage Kitty items, including a rotary phone from 1976 and a gumball machine from 1983. A fourfoot-tall fiberglass statue of the Sanrio character, which Garrett calls “the holy grail of our Hello Kitty collection,” stands in the corner.

The couple met and bonded over the little white cat (or the little girl with kitty ears and whiskers, if you prefer), and will be traveling to Los Angeles this week celebrate the character’s 40th birthday at Hello Kitty Con, a four-day festival dedicated to all things Kitty.

“This is the first time there has ever been a fan convention of this kind,” Sanrio spokesman Dave Marchi said. “It’s the only one happening anywhere in the world.”

And it’s already sold out.

More than 25,000 fans are expected; An exhibition at the neighboring Japanese American National Museum, “Hello! Exploring the Supercute World of Hello Kitty,” will continue through April 26, 2015.

Garrett and Eslamieh, both 32, were already Hello Kitty fans before they met, and their union has only fueled their fandom.

Though most of their Sanrio collection lives in the garage-turned-showroom, there are pieces sprinkled

throughout their house. The couple keeps a mini Hello Kitty kitchen inside their real kitchen, and they handpainted a skylight above their dinner table with Sanrio characters.

“It’s a pretty substantial part of our interests together,” said Garrett, a lanky man with an armful of tattoos. “It does sort of guide and direct the things we do.”

During their courtship, Garrett worked at a Sanrio store where Eslamieh would often visit. When the store closed, they bought its giant Sanrio sign, now on display in their showroom.

They visit Sanrio stores where ever they find them.

They made a special trip to Japan to visit PuroLand, Tokyo’s Sanrio theme park, and went to Honolulu’s Sanrio Cafe on their honeymoon.

“I always wanted more Sanrio,” said Eslamieh, who has a Hello Kitty tattoo on her shoulder and a Sanrio symbol on her wrist. The college professor confessed that her mother once called a radio psychiatrist for advice about her daughter’s lifelong obsession with Kitty/kiddie characters.

“You have to like cute things, and that’s just not some people’s personality,” said Eslamieh, who keeps her love of Kitty separate from her professional life.

“The products and designs are simple enough and cute enough that they fit in a semi-sophisticated home.”

Garrett, an elementary school teacher, has always been a collector. He came to Hello Kitty through comic books and anime, inspired by the breadth of characters

and products available. He collects video games, too, and has 676 of the 677 original Nintendo games.

“Marty inspires the collecting part,” Eslamieh said of her husband, who also considers himself “the biggest Monkichi fan” - another Sanrio character that looks like a monkey. He boasts a complete collection of everything Monkichi has appeared on, housed in a floor-to-ceiling closet in the couple’s guest room.

Garrett has integrated his love of Sanrio stuff into his work. Some of the couple’s collection is kept in his fourth-grade classroom at Lawton Alternative School.

Seasonal Sanrio banners hang outside the door, a giant acrylic Hello Kitty face greets students inside, and a pile of plush toys sit atop the bookcase.

“There are so many pressures in this profession that can bring you down, so it’s good to stay afloat with the cuteness of Hello Kitty and Sanrio,” he said.

“And especially that he’s a man,” Eslamieh added, “it gives boys license not to have to be so macho.”

Garrett will participate in a panel at the convention called “Guys love Hello Kitty too!” Eslamieh will also appear on a panel with other collectors: “For the Love of the Red bow - Super Fans Unite!”

The event will include hands-on workshops, where attendees can try scrapbooking, cake decorating, jewelry making and other Kitty-themed craft projects. Real tattoo artists will be on hand to ink guests with Hello Kitty.

Taylor Swift shakes off the haters with her fifth album, ‘1989’ NEW YORK (AP) — When Taylor Swift released the Grammy-winning, banjotinged “Mean” in 2010, haters fired shots at the then-20-year-old.

Four years later, Swift says she’s grown and was able to write her new single `Shake It Off’ about others dissing her from a new perspective.

“We are all getting our hearts broken, being built up, being let down, feeling disappointed, feeling joy, feeling all these emotions, but what I’ve noticed is that even when it’s the same kind of emotion that I’m feeling, I process it and feel it differently now than I used to,” she said in an interview last week. “And I think that’s a factor of growing up, but I’m pretty proud of the way it’s gone.”

All signs point to growth as Swift releases her fifth album, “1989,” on Monday: She’s left behind her country roots to go full-blown pop, she’s moved to New York City and she hasn’t really thought about dating in nearly two years.

“I think it’s a beautiful thing to be in love. If you’re in a good relationship, that’s wonderful, but you are factoring someone else’s feelings, schedule, opinion and priorities into your own feelings, schedule, thoughts, opinions, priorities. And in the last year and a half, that just hasn’t been something that I’ve been interested in,” she said.

Swift, 24, began dabbling in pop when she released “Red” in 2012, which featured the pop smashes “We Are Never Getting Back Together” and “I Knew You Were Trouble.” Max Mar-

omnifeed.com

Taylor Swift’s newest album has the singer taking on a more pop feel. tin, who co-produced those songs with Shellbeck, is the executive producer behind “1989” and has created a slew of pop anthems, from Britney Spears’ “...Baby One More Time” to Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.”

“I found myself wanting so badly to explore this new territory, but I felt absolutely terrified to go too far in that direction because I thought people would be angry,” Swift said about going pop. “I think that the country community wasn’t surprised that I made a pop album; I think they were surprised when I was honest about it.”

It’s a bold move for Swift, who moved to Nashville as a teen to pursue her singing career. Her first single was called “Tim McGraw.”

“We’ve had a great relationship with 2,000 country

radio stations ... and so talking it through, she still welcomes their support,” said Scott Borchetta, the president and CEO of Swift’s longtime label home, Big Machine Records. “If the moment ever strikes her again and she decides, `You know what, the music I’m making now is country,’ I think she’ll be welcomed back with open arms.”

Swift says she’s not sure she will record country music again - not because she doesn’t want to, but because it’s too early to tell.

“If I wanted to make `Red’ 2.0 I could have done it, but I ... wanted the focus to be on the sound of the record rather than everyone dissecting each lyric to see who these songs are about,” she said.

“1989” is pure pop fun, featuring hook heavy jams, from anthemic moments like “Shake It Off” and “Bad Blood” to calmer grooves like “Clean,” featuring Imogen Heap. It’s also a sound that resonates with Swift’s fans, if a recent secret session at her apartment in New York City was any indication.

Swift invited 89 fans to her warmly decorated pad in Tribeca to preview “1989.”

The feverish group of girls and boys (and moms) immediately jumped to the floor to sit on pillows as Swift sat in front of them. One girl couldn’t stop shaking.

“I’m a little worried about the shaking,” Swift said to the blonde teen, and then gave her a high-five to calm her nerves.

When she played “Bad Blood,” a song Swift wrote about a female pop singer she had a falling out with, a fan yelled as Swift gave background on the song: “It’s because she doesn’t have a Grammy!” Swift gave her signature coy look, as the crowd looked to the two Grammy Awards atop her mantel, one of them for album of the year for 2008’s groundbreaking “Fearless.”

“Bad Blood” sounds like typical Swift, but most of the radio-friendly “1989” showcases a different tone in her songwriting. “Blank Space” was initially started as a joke: Swift said she had seen all of the tabloid stories about her and decided to write a song as if she was actually the media-created character.

“They’ve drawn up this fictitious sensationalized version of my life ... and I couldn’t help but think about how interesting, although al-

beit untrue, this character was. She’s very interesting, you know, unpredictable and kind of reckless and impulsive and emotional, overemotional mood swings and needy and clingy, but somehow alluring,” she said.

Another song, “I Wish You Would,” marks another growth area: Swift says she’s now friends with an ex.

“That’s a new concept for me actually, writing songs about things that have happened in romantic relationships and being able to run them past the person that they’re about,” she said.

Bleachers frontman and fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff, who co-wrote and produced songs on “1989,” calls Swift’s new sound “innovative.”

“She’s never complicated

the process of writing and recording,” said Antonoff, who dates Lena Dunham, one of Swift’s best friends. “I think the reason why she connects with so many people is she’s not someone you want to be, she’s someone you want to be friends with.”

Swift, who credits living in New York City as part of her growth, said she’s completely comfortable in her skin.

“At this point in my life at 24, I have a very solid grasp on my identity - I know exactly who I am, but I know exactly what (the media) say I am,” she said. “I feel very comfortable joining in on the social commentary and joining in on the joke because I know exactly what it is - a joke.”

Find the help you need to succeed West Virginia University has much to offer students.

There are countless offices across the campus with the purpose of aiding students in both their academic and every day lives.

The Division of Student Life’s webpage offers numerous resources for students to use when in need.

Here, you can find information about housing, admission, dining services and many other outlets of the University. There is even an “Ask Regan” page where students are able to submit specific questions they have pertaining to WVU. Other offices such as the Center for Service and Learning help students access community outreach.

The Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion works to help students with physical, invisible and learning obstacles adjust to campus life.

There are also 415 student organizations to join at WVU. With so many resources available, it may seem surprising that US News and World Report indicated for WVU, there is a 34 percent four-year graduation rate, and an average freshman retention rate of 78 percent.

Why are so few students graduating in four years and more than 20 percent of first year students not returning?

While these resources are here, very few students

OUR VIEW Student services on WVU campuses should be better marketed and advertised for the benefit of the office and students. know about them.

For many students, New Student Orientation is a very exciting and fastpaced day. Students can tour the campus, have their Mountaineer Card ID photo taken and visit their future dorm. Much of the information given to students on that day, before they have even really begun their college careers, falls on deaf ears.

There needs to be a way to reinforce these options for students so they don’t feel like they have no choice but to leave school when things get rough. We must show students they aren’t alone. They have a huge support system and that someone wants them here.

Social media is one platform for students to find out more. By shar-

ing messages in a popular form that most students have in the palm of their hands, they can be better informed. Many offices across campuses already have accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for students to follow.

Email is another route.

Students often check their email for classes and other obligations. Having a featured office of the week draft an email explaining what their office offers could increase awareness as well.

Yet another option could be having those same featured offices host booths around the campuses.

While the Mountainlair is a centralized location,

many students do not pass through it every day. Having pop-up information booths could help spread the word.

No matter how the information is shared, it is important not to overload students. This is the age of 140 characters or less. Students want to be able to pick out everything important in seconds.

Student outreach would not only improve graduation and retention rates, but it could also help students’ mental wellbeing.

Students who feel they belong are more likely to stay in school than those who feel they don’t fit in. daperspectivies@mail.wvu.edu

Use the Internet to increase your productivity

HANNAH CHENOWETH COLUMNIST @dailyathenaeum

A large majority of our generation is trapped in a predicament: We detest technology and what it’s done to our society, but are also addicted to it and borderline forced to use it for many things at the same time.

We are expected to be experts on social media; we’ve grown up with it. Students are hindered by their lack of understanding how to effectively use social media.

It’s annoying that a guy might DM you on Twitter instead of courting you with flowers, but we also can’t

delete Twitter because we need it for some classes. If you have absolutely no web presence, it’s almost as if you don’t exist in the eyes of many employers.

It was about three in the morning last week when I got fed up with constantly refreshing Instagram. No one was uploading pictures during that hour, I couldn’t fall asleep to save my life, and I was irritated. It didn’t occur to me that the bright light of my phone wasn’t helping me fall asleep. For some reason, I started digging a little bit to see how the Internet could actually help me in life, instead of distract me.

I couldn’t believe how much I found, and I quickly

realized how much time I had wasted. Seeing how much was out there left me with no desire to check Twitter. I believe everyone can benefit from the amazingly useful websites I found.

As previously mentioned, Generation Y is expected to enter the job market with tip-top technological skills.

For me, these skills do not come naturally. If you can relate, the website Grovo will be your best friend.

Grovo is an amazing way to build your Internet skills with sixty-second videos on more than 130 Internet tools and even a mobile application option. If you prefer more in-depth training to stay on top of your game, Redhoop has more than

4,390 courses.

If you’re thirsty for knowledge but have the attention span of a fruit fly, Today I Found Out is perfect for you. Every day, a new article is posted to this website covering topics you might never actively search but are sure to catch your attention. Checking this website every morning is a great way to wake up feeling productive –and maybe glean a bit of random trivia that could come up when you least expect it.

Gibbon, a website I found, prevents 40 million tabs from cluttering your computer. It presents you with playlists of curated content on tons of topics ranging from photography

to web design to yoga. Simply click on any topic you wish to learn about, and users are presented with an organized wealth of articles.

Gibbon is a site that everyone should know about.

Many might find it hard to find when searching in Google because the website shares its name with a cuddly looking animal from Southeast Asia.

Lifehacker is one website that many are familiar with.

Best put, it helps you “do” life better. It gives you tips and shortcuts to things you would probably not think of otherwise.

If you love learning but aren’t into classes, grading, and that whole shindig, I may have found your dream

online resource: Coursera. It lets you choose from more than 400 courses from the world’s top educational institutions. It also lets you learn at your own pace to complete the course.

The websites I’ve presented are just a tiny portion of what is out there.

Auditory learners aren’t excluded; TED Talks contains tons of informative speeches and there are YouTube channels filled with interesting videos.

If you take advantage of all these free resources, you can utilize technology without feeling your IQ drop from all the usual social media drama. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Across the Us

Fifteen of the most bizarre college clubs, why you should participate Courtney Gorter University of Michigan

Creating a club is really nothing more than being passionate about something, locating a group of like-minded people, and slapping a catchy name on the whole thing.

And it seems like there’s a club for everything and everybody when you’re in college. If you ever wanted to join up with a group united in their love for pizza crust or blanket forts, now’s the time to do it.

1. The Moustache Club (Carleton College) No moustache required (but it’s certainly encouraged). All that’s necessary is a deep and abiding love of facial hair and those who have it. Members aspire to reach the standards of excellence embodied by some of the great mustachioed men of our time.

2. The Cheese Club (Purchase College, SUNY) There’s a fine line between

DA

regarding cheese as the stuff that goes on other stuff, and revering it as the food of the gods. At Purchase College, SUNY, they chuck that dividing line right out the window—either you love cheese or you’re lying. If you’re not yet convinced, check out their tumblr—it’s called “Eat Cheese or Die.” 3. The Hammock Club (Calvin College) Do you like hammocks?

Great. But do you love hammocks with a fierce and eternal passion that rivals that of anything you’ve heretofore enjoyed? Even better! Calvin College is encouraging stressfree leisure time one hammock at a time.

4. Rock-Paper-Scissors Club (University of Kentucky) If you’ve only ever been using Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who gets shotgun or who has to go to the store, you’ve been doing it all wrong. Rock-Paper-Scissors is a glorious testament to human competition. (They even have championships.)

5. The Squirrel Club (University of Michigan) Any University of Michigan student can and will confirm that our very own Squirrel Club is as serious as they come. What began as an offhand joke of an idea late one night in East Quad, ultimately blossomed into something clearly bigger than all of us— and it’s been growing in popularity ever since. (It’s even catching on—Western Michigan University has one, too.)

6. Cube Club (Harvard) Harvard’s Cube Club is devoted to solving Rubik’s Cubes with the kind of careless ease people both fear and respect, thereby solidifying their rightful place as our future overlords.

7. Free Compliments Club (Tufts University) The Free Compliments Club is combatting the evils of the world with nothing but praise, free of charge. If you happen to pass by the university’s library, chances are you’ll walk away thinking, “You know what? I am looking pretty good today.”

8. Childish Games Commission (Kalamazoo College) Let your inner child run amok at Kalamazoo College—meetings consist largely of Capture the Flag, blanket forts, Slip N’ Slides, and Twister. (General hijinks may ensue.)

9. Boffer Club, also known as the Foam Sword Warriors (Alfred University) At Alfred, they simply want to enjoy the chivalric honor and adventure of sword fighting without all that pesky armor and blood loss getting in the way. The solution? Foam swords, shields, axes, and spears. If you’re not amused, you’re clearly not picturing upwards of eighty people whacking each other with various foam weapons during the annual Alfred Civil War. 10. Clown Nose Club (Penn State University) The Clown Nose Club has been so wildly successful it’s inspired spinoffs at other universities, like North Carolina State. They’re all about positivity and expanding your

horizons—while wearing a clown nose, obviously, because why not?

11. Humans vs. Zombies (Goucher College) Humans vs. Zombies clubs are cropping up everywhere, but it started at Groucher. It’s all fun and games until one of your friends is a zombie, and then it’s an all-out war for human supremacy in the face of the apocalypse.

12. Campus People Watchers (University of Minnesota) They describe themselves as a “non-profit, non-creepy organization” that orchestrates group observational sessions and meets afterward to discuss their findings.

(It’s not weird. Don’t make it weird.)

13. Students Against Hippies in Trees (UC Berkeley) In 2006, tree-sitting protests took place to oppose the university’s removal of oak trees on campus. Not long after, a reactionary group emerged to protest the protests. Then another group answered the call to protest

those protests, in a seemingly never-ending vortex of protests.

14. Lumberjack Club (Michigan Tech) No club has ever made more sense than this one.

All you purportedly need is a healthy sense of when to wear flannel. (The correct answer is “always.”)

15. Dignified Educated United Crust Eaters Society (Western Michigan University) The club came to be after a debate among friends about the merit of pizza crust.

They’re determined to put a stop to what they refer to as “discrimination of crust” and bring us one step closer to world peace.

It turns out that there are clubs to encompass every facet of the human experience, no matter how silly or squirrelly. Regardless of your cheese preferences or the extent to which you can or can’t grow a moustache, there’s a club out there for you—and if there’s not, what’s stopping you from starting your own?

PSO performs music to celebrate Halloween The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performed popular music ranging from John Williams to Hans Zimmer Monday night at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre.

By Hannah Harless A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra brought “Halloween Pops: Memorable Music from Stage and Screen” to life in the Lyell B Clay Concert Theater last night at West Virginia University’s Creative Arts Center.

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performed a series of eerie classics in order to set the mood for a haunting Halloween theme. The PSO played music from very well known, dark movies including “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and “Saint Saëns’ Danse macabre,” as well as scores from “Spiderman,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Game of Thrones,” “Sleeping Beauty” and many more.

The Halloween Pops per-

formance, which kick-started PSO’s 2014-2015 Scottish Rite Cathedral Series, is under the direction of resident conductor Lawrence Loh. Loh made his debut on the main classical series Handel’s Messiah conducting in 2008. Loh’s affiliation with PSO began as an assistant conductor in 2005, and since then has been promoted to his current position.

Loh is extremely energetic, and is known for keeping his audience engaged with his humor and charisma.

Since the theme of the performance was Halloween, Loh and many instrumentalists ditched their traditional formal attire for Halloween costumes. Loh began the first half dressed as a cowboy in honor of The Cowboys Overture. After intermission, Loh returned to the stage in a fullbody Batman suit to get the

“I don’t care if the costume has to be handmade in Italy, I want a batman costume everyone in the audience will love,” Loh said.

Mickey, Minnie and Mr. Incredible were all very visible in the orchestra as well.

“I really enjoyed the concert. I’ve been to many of the performances by PSO at West Virginia University, and this

one was really intriguing because it was more modern than some of the other ones I’ve seen,” said Thomas Damasken, a senior advertising student.

Chad Winkler, member of the PSO and graduate from WVU, performed a trumpet solo that ended in a standing ovation and a roaring crowd.

Winkler played a piece by Alexander Arutiunian that celebrates the folk music of Armenia, the composer’s native country. Winkler is a welltrained trumpet player, performing in many symphonies across the country. Winkler is also a professor of trumpet at California University of Pennsylvania.

The PSO played to a packed house, being that nearly every seat was filled.

The audience was very diverse in that it consisted of

people of many different ages from a variety of places. The audience was very engaged with the symphony, particularly with Loh, consistently filling the theater with rumbles of laughter, smiles, and expressed enthusiasm over the music.

Alyssa Schwartz, a resident hall coordinator for Boreman North and South was amongst the audience.

“I really liked the Pirates of the Caribbean piece because that medley was really in that it had some parts that were really exciting, and other parts that were more emotional,” Schwartz said.

Morgantown Sound

U92 hosts sounds of Jeff Grable in Gluck Theatre

Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @westleyt93

Last evening, Morgantown Sound made a departure from the heavy metal and punk rock it has featured over the past few weeks.

The artist featured at this week’s live radio performance was Jeff Grable, a singer and songwriter from West Virginia.

Born to a musical family, both of Grable’s parents were involved with music and Grable has had a passion for song since a young age.

“I’ve been playing music most of my life,” Grable said.

“My parents both have musical stuff going on. My dad was a musician in bands way

back in the day. I just sort of picked up on it when I was growing up.”

Due to having such a long history with music, Grable draws inspiration from a vast range of influences. Since he was young he was exposed to everything from classical music to heavy metal.

“I grew up listening to everything,” Grable said, “From classical music, to early country-western stuff, all the hard rock and heavy metal stuff from the ‘70s and ‘80s.”

Grable is described online as indie rock, however he finds it much harder to narrow down his musical style.

“That’s kind of tough. I don’t really know because it changes.” Grable said. “Some of it’s a little country influenced, it’s all kind of rock and

roll stuff, with little bits and pieces of country and blues.”

Grable says The Beatles were a pretty big influence on him.

Grable has a lot of passion for playing music. It is something he said he absolutely loves to do.

“I just love (playing music),” Grable said. “It’s just part of me. I’ve been playing for so long everytime I pick up a guitar something cool comes out.”

He’s not wrong when he says that. Grable’s performance in the Gluck Theatre wowed the audience and had them clapping after every song.

His approach to playing was calm and controlled. You could tell this was a man who knew what he was doing and

was comfortable doing it.

The themes of Grable’s songs were mature and timeless. His lyrics spoke of situations everyone is familiar with, no matter what path they took in life. His music seems to fit the listener like a glove, and the innate familarity of it all is what makes him stand out as an artist.

He draws his modern inspiration from a variety of sources. Things that have happened in his life, or the lives of friends spark ideas for songs. Even things Grable hears on the news can set off the lightbulb.

“I like being creative,” Grable said.

Options galore for WVU

Though I took many positives and some negatives from No. 20 West Virginia’s win against the downhill Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday, one huge positive has stood out in my perspective.

The Mountaineers have options, offensively and defensively, and it’s happening at the perfect time for them.

When WVU was able to take on and upset then-No. 4 Baylor, and then again against the Cowboys Saturday, the options they’ve shown me when things don’t go exactly to plan is a primary reason why this team stands in second place in the Big 12, is already bowl eligible and has ESPN’s College GameDay heading to Morgantown this weekend.

WVU entered 2014 with an extremely deep backfield, but after starter redshirt sophomore Rushel Shell went down with an injury against Baylor, senior Dreamius Smith stepped up big time to help lead the Mountaineers to victory.

Though we knew Smith had the potential to step up when called upon all season, Baylor was the first game I saw him do just that in a big way.

Fortunately for the Mountaineers, Smith did the same Saturday. Although many believed redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett would find much success with both senior wide receivers Kevin White and Mario Alford Saturday, the two ended up combining for just 10 receptions for 163 and a touchdown each.

Not that in the grand scheme of things those are horrible statistics, but when those two receivers have been lighting up the field all season, West Virginia realized it couldn’t solely rely on them.

Although Smallwood had an explosive game, Smith once again rose to the occasion and scored another touchdown along with a season-high 72 rushing yards, as the rest of the backfield couldn’t find much success.

More options were evident on Saturday too.

For the third straight game, West Virginia’s defense stepped up. It held Texas Tech in the second half to help the Mountaineers come back and then against both the Bears and Cowboys, and the Mountaineers were able to hold both of those squads to far less points than I expected them to.

However, it goes far deeper than that in the sense that after going all season without scoring a defensive touchdown. That changed Saturday.

It came from freshman safety Dravon Henry, who has been showing incredible playmaking abilities since the beginning of the season, but Saturday I saw a different player on the field at Boone Pickens Stadium, a player that is playing like a veteran and isn’t missing a step along the way.

The freshman had not one, but two interceptions on Cowboys’ quarterback Daxx Garman, and that confirmed to me that the depth he has added to WVU’s defense will continue to become more vital as the season goes along to be yet another weapon for the Mountaineers to use defensively.

Between the offensive and defensive options of late that has raised this Mountaineer squad to being in serious contention to win the Big 12, yet another huge matchup rolls into Morgantown Saturday in No. 10 TCU, who put up a casual 82 points off of 305 rushing yards and 480 receiving yards against Texas Tech Saturday, with Horned Frogs’ quarterback Trevone Boykin throwing for seven touchdowns.

The Mountaineers clearly will have their hands full, but I wouldn’t say it’s time to panic. apecorar@mail.wvu.edu

For the majority of West Virginia’s football history, defense has come first. When the program made the switch from the Big East to the Big 12 in 2011 however, it appeared that would have to change.

Boy, did it ever. The Mountaineer defense went from a brick fortress, led by the likes of Bruce Irvin, Julian Miller, Canute Curtis and Daryl Talley to a straw house easily dismantled by the slightest adversity. It seemed to happen overnight.

Considering the current nature of college football, the days of dominating defense

could be permanently in the past, especially in the Big 12.

The veterans of WVU’s defense know this all too well.

Players like safety Karl Joseph, linebackers KJ Dillon and Nick Kwiatkoski and defensive end Kyle Rose, to name a few, have been through the wringer in this conference.

Through eight games in 2014 however, the once toothless Mountaineer defense is starting to come together.

“Our team has bought in to our coaches’ plan. It’s all come together. It’s no shock to us. We knew this was going to happen. It just shocked everybody else,” said defensive end Kyle Rose.

While WVU’s offense has often had to carry the bulk

of the burden in these conference shootouts, defensive coordinator Tony Gibson is leading a turnaround that is making the Mountaineers a formidable, well-rounded team.

“We’re a complete team.

Any time the offense is struggling, we like to help them out, and any time we’re struggling, the offense helps us out. It’s a team win. That’s how we do things right now,” Rose said.

The proof has been in the pudding in West Virginia’s last two games. The Mountaineers effectively shut down the No. 1 offense in the nation against Baylor two weeks ago, then followed that up with a dominating performance

against Oklahoma State in a 34-10 victory.

Putting together backto-back solid performances doesn’t exactly establish a trend, but considering what this defense has been through in the past, it is a step in the right direction.

“We’re doing our part.

It’s rewarding. Our kids are playing with extreme confidence right now, and these kids needed that with what they’ve been through the last two years on defense,” Gibson said.

“I’m really pleased with our progression and where we are. It’s easy to call defense when you’ve got guys that are hungry and believe in it and go out and perform the way

that they do every week.”

The task doesn’t get any easier from here on out.

The stakes in West Virginia’s matchup with No. 10 TCU Saturday are extremely high.

The Horned Frogs, who just put up 82 points against Texas Tech, bring considerable offensive firepower with them to Morgantown.

Shutting down quarterback Trevone Boykin and the TCU offense is a tall order, but the Mountaineers have heard that before.

If WVU’s defense can stand tall again, the Mountaineers could be in the Big 12 driver’s seat when all is said and done Saturday. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Gameday’s return brings opportunity for WVU

The rumors of ESPN’s popular pregame show – ESPN College GameDay – returning to Morgantown for West Virginia’s matchup with TCU began to crop up on social media just days after the Mountaineers upset Baylor.

It was made official Sunday afternoon, as ESPN announced that indeed College GameDay would return to Morgantown Saturday.

The last time the College GameDay crew set up shop in Morgantown was in 2011, when West Virginia hosted LSU in a primetime matchup.

“A beautiful @CollegeGameDay scene in ’11. We’ll see you Saturday, Morgantown #WVU #TCU,” tweeted

College GameDay host Chris Fowler, equipped with a picture of the rowdy Mountaineer faithful’s last time GameDay graced Morgantown.

While many believe GameDay could return, others thought there might be a slim chance ESPN would come to Morgantown after what happened following the Mountaineers’ victory over Baylor.

While the upset on the field sparked national attention for the football team, it also saw the University garner national attention but not in a positive way.

Around 5,000 – mainly WVU students – “rioted” following the team’s win.

The riots resulted in – so far – three students being expelled, an email from WVU President E. Gordon Gee scolding the student body, and countless disappoint-

ment amongst WVU alumni and fans nationwide.

Various videos and pictures showed fires, mass amounts of people flooding the streets and police tear gassing large crowds.

Between damages to Morgantown, new equipment for future incidents, and overtime pay, it’s estimated that more than $45,000 was paid by the city due to the chaos.

It’s easy to see why many would doubt ESPN making Morgantown their home for this weekend’s GameDay. The riots, however, didn’t scare off GameDay and Kirk Herbstreit and the rest of the gang will be outside the Mountainlair in a few short days.

The announcement has WVU students beaming with excitement.

“I couldn’t be more ex-

cited that GameDay is coming back,” said Bobbie Jo Julian, a WVU student. “I love watching it on Saturday mornings, but actually getting to be in the atmosphere will be an unbelievable experience.”

West Virginia cracked the AP Top-25 following its win over Baylor and kept its momentum rolling after defeating Oklahoma State this past weekend.

The Mountaineers will enter their game against the Horned Frogs ranked No. 20 in nation, while TCU will be No. 10.

WVU and its students will once again be in the spotlight. This time, however, it will be because one of ESPN’s premiere shows will broadcast live from campus.

The expectation for students to be on their best behavior will certainly be in

place, and one would have to believe Morgantown and the University will take precautionary measures heading into this weekend.

Having GameDay back in Morgantown is monumental for the University, and students should take full advantage of having an opportunity like this. It’s not often this kind of thing comes around, and West Virginia’s been lucky enough to host GameDay not once, but twice in four years.

GameDay should make for an amazing environment Saturday, and the entire country will witness what gamedays are like in Morgantown, W.Va. GameDay coverage will go live at 9 a.m. from the Mountainlair Plaza Saturday morning. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S SOCCER

WVU looks for third-straight win, takes on Penn by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The Mountaineers are catching fire and doing so at the perfect time.

West Virginia is coming off two wins against Penn State and Bowling Green, and its level of play has increasingly gotten better.

Now the Mountaineers will travel back to Pennsylvania for the second time in a week to take the Penn Quakers.

The Quakers are holding on to a 6-6-1 record that has

seen ups and downs during the course of the season.

In their last five games, the Quakers are 2-2-1.

The Quakers took on conference opponent Dartmouth Saturday, and came away with a 2-1 victory to get them back to .500 on the season. The Quakers were set back early when they conceded a penalty kick, but they rallied to a 2-1 victory in the second half that helped them knock off the Ivy League’s top ranked Big Green.

A week later, the Quakers were back in action

against another Ivy League foe, the Yale Bulldogs. The game featured a wide array of chances by both teams, but the final result was a 1-1 tie between the two teams.

Two forwards lead the charge for the Quakers in the 2014 season. Alec Neumann and Sam Wancowicz have matched each other in major statistical categories. Both men have scored six goals on the season and tallied five assists, leaving them tied for the team lead with 17 points.

The Quakers have had some second half troubles

this season though. Penn has held the advantage in outscoring its opponents in the first half, but has been outscored by seven goals in the second half. Their opponents have shot nearly 40 times more in the second half, increasing the team’s saves by nearly two times as many.

A team that struggles in the second half could bode well for the Mountaineers, who have proved to be a second half team in many respects. The Mountaineers have outscored their opponents 15-8 in the sec-

ond half of games this season and have also outshot their opponents by almost 30 shots. The Mountaineers will look to take advantage of their opportunities against the Quakers.

Andy Bevin is leading the charge still for the Mountaineers. Bevin added an assist to his already impressive point total, putting him at 27 points on the season.

Jamie Merriam will return to play for this game after sitting the game against Bowling Green for his red card.

West Virginia’s defense will also look to hold down

the Quakers offense. Louis Thomas, Francio Henry and Jack Elliott have been stellar in their recent defensive efforts, and they look to continue the trend. The Mountaineers have only conceded one goal in each of their last two games.

With only three games remaining in the regular season, the Mountaineers are looking to improve their status.

The game will be played at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Rhodes Field in Philadelphia, PA. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

women’s soccer

Mountaineers continue conference dominance

by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

At this point for the West Virginia University women’s soccer team it’s become an old habit, but the feeling of winning a conference championship will never get old.

This past weekend, West Virginia claimed the Big 12 championship. It’s the program’s third straight conference title – fourth straight if you date back to the team’s time in the Big East.

“It means a lot,” said

redshirt freshman forward Amandine Pierre-Louis.

“It means a lot to our team, and it’s good for us, good for the coach, good for the program and I’m really proud.”

With three years into the Big 12 and three conference titles to show for it, it’s a safe assumption that West Virginia has established itself as the dominant force within the Big 12.

Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown is in her 19th season as the Mountaineers’ head coach. Not counting this season, she’s coached the Mountaineers to an im-

pressive 251-96-39 overall record.

WVU has won eight total Big East Championships, tacked on the three Big 12 titles, and the program has 11 total conference championships to show.

We definitely have a lot of pride in our program,” said junior forward Kailey Utley. “We want to have championships.”

Established in 1995 – the women’s soccer team did not found great success until the early 2000’s.

The team made 14 straight NCAA tournament appearances and in 2007 made it

to the Elite Eight.

One has to believe the next step is winning an NCAA championship.

For any of the team’s senior players that have been with the program since 2011, this is their fourth conference championship.

Earning a conference title each year on the team is a remarkable accomplishment and something most student athletes don’t normally encounter.

“Our seniors will walk away with four rings when they’re done,” said junior defender Carly Black.

“Honestly, we’re just doing

it for our seniors and winning it for ourselves. We like to win.”

The start to this season wasn’t exactly brilliant. The Mountaineers’ non-conference schedule posed early challenges for Izzo-Brown’s squad, but the minor stumbles helped the Mountaineers steer the ship straight.

Every season can seem like a long haul until a team can call themselves champions. Izzo-Brown acknowledged the journey and is very proud of what her team was able to do.

“Last spring, the girls were working so hard in the

offseason and coming into preseason, every game was about getting better,” IzzoBrown said. “You never want to not appreciate winning championships. It’s so hard to win, especially in this league. The goal was to do this.”

The Mountaineers have one final regular season game left. They will face Baylor at 7 p.m. Friday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. Then the focus will shift to claiming another Big 12 title in the conference tournament. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

AP

Prosecutors say will appeal Oscar Pistorius verdict JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Prosecutors in the Oscar Pistorius case said Monday they will file appeal papers in the next few days against the verdict and sentence after the Olympic runner was convicted of culpable homicide and given a five-year prison term for killing his girlfriend.

The decision by South Africa’s National Prosecuting Authority could see Pistorius face a murder conviction again for shooting Reeva Steenkamp and, if found guilty on the appeal, a minimum of 15 years in prison.

The 27-year-old double-amputee athlete was acquitted of murder by Judge Thokozile Masipa for shooting Steenkamp multiple times through a

toilet cubicle door in his home. He testified he mistook her for a nighttime intruder. Masipa found him guilty instead on a lesser charge comparable to manslaughter.

The NPA said in a statement its decision to appeal was based on a “question of law,” meaning it believes that Judge Masipa misapplied the law when she acquitted Pistorius of murder.

“The merits and the demerits of the NPA’s argument ... will become evident when we file papers for leave to appeal,” the national prosecuting body said. “The prosecutors are now preparing the necessary papers in order to be able to file within the next few days.”

Chief prosecutor Ger-

rie Nel and his assistant, Andrea Johnson, had been “hard at work” since last week studying the judgment, researching and consulting with legal experts, the NPA said.

Prosecutors must apply initially to Masipa for permission to appeal within 14 days of Pistorius’ Oct. 21 sentencing. If Masipa grants them permission, Pistorius’ case would be reviewed by a panel of three or five judges in the Supreme Court of Appeal, legal expert Marius du Toit said. They could overturn the manslaughter conviction and find Pistorius guilty of murder.

Prosecutors can directly petition the SCA if Masipa denies their appeal, du Toit said.

Pistorius’ lawyer, Brian

Webber, declined to comment, while Pistorius’ uncle, Arnold Pistorius, said in a short family statement : “We take note of the state’s announcement. The law must take its course.”

Pistorius started serving his prison sentence last week for negligently killing Steenkamp on Feb. 14, 2013. Currently, the multiple Paralympic champion is eligible for release after 10 months to complete the sentence under house arrest.

Prosecutors had said they were disappointed with the culpable homicide conviction and believed they had a strong murder case against Pistorius. A murder conviction has a minimum of 15 years in jail in South Africa.

Chief prosecutor Nel laid the groundwork for the decision to appeal by speaking with Prof. James Grant, a criminal law specialist at Johannesburg’s University of the Witwatersrand, prosecution spokesman Nathi Mncube said.

Masipa’s decision to acquit Pistorius of murder had been questioned by legal analysts. Grant, a television analyst during Pistorius’ trial, was among them and said last week that he had advised Nel to appeal. Grant also said he agreed to assist prosecutors.

Experts say there are grounds for an appeal, partly because the judge may have misapplied a part of the law called “dolus eventualis” – which

says someone should be found guilty of murder if they foresaw the possibility of killing someone through their actions and went ahead anyway. The experts questioned how Masipa ruled that Pistorius did not predict that someone might die when he decided to shoot four times from close range into the small toilet cubicle in his Pretoria home, hitting Steenkamp in the hip, arm and head.

Some experts have also said that Pistorius’ argument that he did not know it was the 29-yearold model in the cubicle might not be enough to save him from a murder conviction as he still knew there was someone in there when he fired his 9 mm pistol.

WVU’s Attea improves as season moves along by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team is deep into its season, playing Big 12 matches from now until the end of November. With big games already behind the Mountaineers and still more to come, one member of the team continues to step up her game.

Junior Nikki Attea has started on the court for West Virginia since her freshman year, and aside from one exception, has played in every single match and set.

After finishing her first season with 246 kills, and her second with 267, she is on pace to do better with 217 right now. Following outside hitter Jordan Anderson, who has 380 kills, Attea averages 2.71 kills per set and has hit for a .282 percentage this season.

In the match against

SPECIAL NOTICES

Kansas State over the weekend, Attea led the Mountaineers with a career-high 25 kills, and 12 digs for her fourth double-double on the season, while hitting for a .516 clip.

Head coach Jill Kramer said Attea has had a good impact on the team’s success and close losses, such as their 3-2 drop to the Wildcats.

“Her offensive performance this week has been outstanding,” Kramer said.

“Any time you can have your offense be good at both pins, you’re in a good situation. She’s been pretty effective in the back row as of late also, so I think it goes to show how hard she’s worked since she has been here.”

Aside from her work at the net, Attea has 121 digs so far this year, averaging 1.51 per set along with 53 block assists. Her skills in the back row and her ability to pass the ball efficiently to her teammates are both areas where she

has improved over the season.

She finished her freshman year with 140 digs and 56 block assists, and last season had 192 digs with 94 blocks.

Teammate Anna Panagiotakopoulos has played with Attea since their freshman season.

“This year, she has been awesome, she’s just been so consistent,” Panagiotakopoulos said. “She’s been killing it, she doesn’t make errors and is clutch when you need her to be and no one is stopping her blocking wise.”

With her working well in positions other than the right side, Kramer said Attea is easily able to move around, which is beneficial for WVU. “I think the more six-rotation players you can have on the court, the more continuity you’re going to see in the game,” Kramer said.

“I think that’s probably the biggest thing about Nikki’s game that has stepped up.

I think people are serving her more than they have in the past, and she is passing really well and really taking care of the ball and making people go away from her which is really good.”

Attea has 12 assists and

15 serving aces on the season as well, putting her as one of the more all-around effective players for the Mountaineers.

“She works her butt off in practice. She’s one of those kids who always wants to get better, stays

late after practice and keeps hitting,” Panagiotakopoulos said. “She’s really stepped up and realized the capacity that she has on this team and how much she can really help.”
