SGA talks gender neutral restrooms by jacob bojesson staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Student Government Association is in the planning stages to propose the installment of genderneutral restrooms around campus.

The intent is for every building on campus to have at least one restroom students can use who don’t feel comfortable choosing between a male of female restroom.

Elise Cowgill, SGA codirector of diversity, held a brief meeting Tuesday to look for volunteers to help sort out the logistics of the proposition.

“Students who are transgender, or are in the process of becoming transgender, or feel like they need to cross-dress themselves accurately don’t necessarily feel like they have a place to go where they feel safe,” Cowgill said.

“In order to meet that goal and move forward as

a university, that’s something that SGA has undertaken in order to move the University forward. It’s pretty clear that it’s necessary for the advancement for our university.”

There have been incidents in the past where people have been called out for using the “wrong” restroom, because they are transgender, Cowgill said.

“I do know of people that it has happened to, and I’m sure it happens to more people than we will ever know about, because

Morgantown looks to become ‘bikefriendly’ city

By Sam Bosserman Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum

Whether it’s a Jimmy John’s employee delivering subs or a family having a night out, many citizens in the Morgantown area are choosing to ride bicycles in the downtown area.

The Morgantown Monongalia Metropolitan Planning Organization has recently drawn attention to the benefits of biking and is working to develop a bicycle plan to present to local governments as well as the West Virginia Department of Transportation.

Bill Austin, director of the MMMPO, said his organization already works closely with the Morgantown Bicycle Board and he hopes to see many positive new efforts in response to the proposed plan.

“The plan we are developing will help the Department of Transportation target the limited resources they have available to most effectively improve the environment for cyclists and motorists,” Austin said.

Biking in Morgantown and the surrounding area can sometimes be difficult, but the area has a lot of potential to improve.

The West Virginia Unviersity Foundation has named Cynthia Roth as their new president and CEO, replacing R. Wayne King, who held the position for six years.

Roth, associate vice chancellor of institutional advancement at the University of Pittsburgh, will assume office Jan. 1. Roth will become the sixth president in the foundation’s 69-year history.

“It’s an opportunity of a lifetime,” Roth said. “It’s great to be part of an exciting organization and a university that’s on the move.”

The main reason for Roth’s appointment as the new CEO is the success she had in raising money for a variety of organizations over the past two decades, according to foundation board chairman Bob Reynolds.

Most recently, Roth and the University of Pittsburgh managed to raise more than $2 billion for the Building Our Future Together campaign.

Roth is now hoping to

achieve similar results at WVU. “At the end of the day, it’s about building relationships and being able to lead teams,” she said. “I have had the privilege in my career to build great interdisciplinary teams to be able to seek and fulfill missions. We set goals and we achieve goals, and I’ve really enjoyed doing those things.”

Roth is currently completing her duties at the University of Pittsburgh, and said she has to familiarize herself more with WVU during the next couple of months.

“The people I’ve met have all been fabulous so I’m so excited to be part of that,” she said. “I have had a lot of experience in building partnerships (and) reaching out to other places, and that’s what the foundation does.

“They build partnerships with other units, and those partnerships are about building good relations, and I’ve had that experience with lots of other organizations, so being able to that with (WVU) is an exciting thing to do.”

“Cyclists in the area can find much of the terrain and the relatively narrow width of many of the area’s roads to be challenging,” Austin said.

“However, Morgantown is lucky to have the Rail Trail network. (It) is a valuable asset that can act as the spine for a more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly transportation network.”

Austin said he encourages all students and residents who have an interest in biking to make their voices on the subject heard.

“It’s easy to complain about something, but doing something about it is much more productive,” Austin said.

“Come out and let us know what you think about cycling and other transportation issues in our area” Gregory Mulley, the West Virginia University Student Government Association student representative with the MMMPO, said there are many ways WVU students can benefit from improved biking infrastructure.

“Imagine a student without much money for gas, or maybe no car on campus. Perhaps a student spends 30 plus minutes a day walking to and from campus,” Mulley said. “Biking

people are embarrassed about things like that and won’t feel the need to step forward,” she said.

“To keep it from happening is much better than to search out for people that it’s happened to.”

There is no number for how many students a gender-neutral restroom applies to, but one reason behind the proposition is to make prospective students who are transgender feel more comfortable

Waterfront celebrates 10 years today

BY Summer Ratcliff City Editor @SummerRatcliff

In the summer of 2003, the Waterfront Place Hotel, an independent, boutique-style hotel owned by the Milan Puskar Revocable Trust located in Morgantown’s Wharf District officially opened its doors to guests.

The Waterfront Place Hotel is welcoming back its past and present clients to celebrate, reminisce and look forward to the bright future awaiting both the hotel and the entire Morgantown area for its 10-year anniversary.

“10 years ago the Waterfront Place Hotel opened its doors to welcome travelers with a first-class facility and the highest standards of service,” said Kyle Johnson, Waterfront Place Hotel general manager.

“For us, it is a time to acknowledge our achievements, thank our supporters and look to the future.

We have set the bar high for ourselves in our first

10 years, but we are confident that if we keep true to our mission and traditions that our best years lie ahead of us.”

Groundbreaking for the Waterfront Place Hotel began Aug. 1, 2001. The $50 million development was an integral part of the Wharf District revitalization project.

The hotel includes a 10,000-square-foot conference center, 205 guest rooms, six floors of luxury condominiums, a spa, a full-service fitness center, an indoor pool, the Regatta Bar & Grille and the Rat Pack Lounge.

Throughout its 10 years of operation, the Waterfront Place Hotel has played host to many dignitaries and special guests. The facility has also hosted celebrations, galas, symposiums, conferences, tradeshows and weddings.

In addition to hosting special events and parties, the Waterfront Place Hotel has become an integral facility in the functioning of the downtown Morgantown area. Many

West Virginia University events are held at the hotel, and a valued relationship exists between the two.

“The Waterfront Place Hotel has been the crown jewel for the state of West Virginia for its service in the community as well as the service it offers to its guests,” said Bobby Nicholas, director of developmental programs at WVU Children’s Hospital. “We at WVU Children’s Hospital have been very happy with the type of service we have received over the years. It has been a blessing for us to have this relationship with the hotel and (we) are very much looking forward to 2014.”

To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, the Waterfront Place Hotel will host a cocktail reception from 5-7. in its Platinum Grand Ballroom.

News Corp executive talks evolving media by daniel schatz correspondent @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University welcomed Raju Narisetti, News Corp senior vice president and deputy head of strategy, to the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism to speak about the corporation’s idea of the future of journalism.

News Corp’s holdings include the New York Post, Fox Sports, the Wall Street Journal and the Herald Sun. Narisetti discussed complex issues, including the idea print me-

dia is not completely obsolete; the new competitors news companies are facing and the challenge of incorporating journalists from many different mediums.

Narisetti said he believes the subsection of print media in the field of journalism is not necessarily dying, as many suggest.

“The reality is, print media really isn’t going away, and this has nothing to do with the readers,” Narisetti said.

“The reason print media is not going to go away is because in many markets, it is the most effective way for advertisers to reach

audiences.”

Nearly one of two households, or 40 percent of people in the Washington area, purchase the Washington Post.

News Corp’s publications are not competing with other publications or even broadcast stations, but with advertisers.

“The only thing that the Wall Street Journal is competing for is the single non-renewable resource that readers have, which is their time,” Narisetti said. “If I can get a larger share of their time, then I have won this game.”

Narisetti said readers could

go anywhere on the web to consume any type of journalism they want.

“Brands are becoming compelling storytellers,” Narisetti said. “When Red Bull has this guy jumping out of space, and 25 million people are watching for hours, that is time that they could have spent, hopefully, on journalism.”

News Corp is now fighting for viewer attention online by working to bring together journalists of many different sub-fields to create a more diverse news experience.

“Great journalism, I mean

great content, words, pictures and videos that will determine the winners and losers in the future, is how journalism is being consumed,” Narisetti said.

“The good thing about being asked about the future is that it isn’t the future,” he said.

“The bad thing about the future is that it doesn’t have a sign post saying, ‘It’s coming.’ You just wake up one day and you realize that you are left behind. So, it’s always important to reach out and do things differently.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

helped them get started on the slackline.

“Practice a lot. It helps if someone is there teaching you because they can give you tips to focus on the tree and don’t look at the line,” Khoo said. “Keep your feet in line and use your arms to balance.”

The club has about 60 members right now and they’re always welcoming beginners to come try slacklining for the first time.

“Our goals are to get more people involved and make sure they do it safely,”

Khoo said. “We’re also trying to get it so we can set up (a slackline) over a pool.”

He said the feeling he gets when he slacklines is a special type of rush.

“It’s very peaceful, you’re completely focused on (slacklining) and you’re not thinking of anything else,” Khoo said.

The Slackline Club doesn’t have set meeting times yet. However, interested students can visit http:// facebook.com/groups/ WVUSlackline for more information and for practice times.

Police focus on Uighurs after Tiananmen car attack BEIJING (AP) — Chinese police were seeking information on two ethnic Uighur suspects believed linked to an apparent suicide car attack near Tiananmen Square in the country’s capital that killed five people and injured 38.

Police released no word about a possible motive for Monday’s incident at Beijing’s Forbidden City, one of China’s most politically sensitive and heavily guarded public spaces. But investigators sent a notice to hotels in the city aimed at tracing the movements of two suspects, and possibly at uncovering any other conspirators.

It was unclear whether the two Uighurs were believed to have perished in the car or are still at large, and whether they may have been linked to militant groups in the western region of Xinjiang, where radicals have been fighting a low-intensity insurgency against Chinese rule for years.

If Monday’s incident was such an attack, it would be the first in recent history outside of Xinjiang, and the boldest and most ambitious given the high-profile target.

The overseas advocacy group World Uyghur Congress on Tuesday urged cau-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Move over, website woes.

Lawmakers confronted the Obama administration Tuesday with a difficult new health care problem – a wave of cancellation notices hitting small businesses and individuals who buy their own insurance.

At the same time, the federal official closest to the website apologized for its dysfunction in new sign-ups and asserted things are getting better by the day.

Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner said it’s not the administration but insurers who are responsible for cancellation letters now reaching many of the estimated 14 million people who buy individual policies. And, officials said, people who get cancellation notices will be able to find better replacement plans, in some cases for less.

The Associated Press, citing the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, reported in May that many carriers would opt to cancel policies this fall and issue new ones. Administratively that was seen as easier than changing existing plans to comply with the new law, which mandates coverage of more services and provides better financial protection against catastrophic illnesses.

While the administration had ample warning of the cancellations, they could

become another public relations debacle for President Barack Obama’s signature legislation. This problem goes to the credibility of one of the president’s earliest promises about the health care overhaul: You can keep your plan if you like it.

In the spring, state insurance commissioners started giving insurers the option of canceling existing individual plans for 2014, since the coverage required under Obama’s law is more robust. Some states directed insurers to issue cancellations. Large employer plans that cover most workers and their families are unlikely to be affected.

The cancellation notices are now reaching policyholders, and they’ve been complaining to their lawmakers – who were grilling Tavenner on Tuesday.

“Based on what little information the administration has disclosed, it turns out that more people have received cancellation notices for their health care plans this month than have enrolled in the (health care website),” said Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich. He cited a news report of 146,000 cancellations in his state alone.

Up and down the dais, lawmakers chimed in with stories of constituents who had received similar notices. Republicans offered

examples of people being asked to pay more.

Democrats countered by citing constituents who had been able to find lowercost coverage than they have now. Ranking Democrat Sander Levin of Michigan said one of his constituents has been paying $800 a month for a BlueCrossBlueShield plan and managed to find comparable coverage for $77, after tax credits that lower the premiums.

Still, Levin added, “this has become a matter of legitimate discussion.”

It could take months to sort out the balance of individual winners and losers.

There’s not a central source of statistics on how many people have gotten cancellations. Even the number of people who buy insurance individually is disputed.

It isn’t the administration’s fault, said Tavenner.

“In fact the issuer has decided to change the plan; (they) didn’t have to.”

Obama’s promise dates back to June 2009, when Congress was starting to grapple with overhauling the health care system to cover uninsured Americans.

“If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period,” the president said in remarks to the American Medical Association. “No one will take it away, no matter what.”

and a study completed to send to the WVU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion by the end of the semester.

“Ideally we would like to get at least one in each building,” Cowgill said.

“That is a big challenge to undertake, and it is going to be much easier with buildings that are going to be forthcoming in the future. The administration has been pretty open to the idea.”

The gender-neutral restrooms would also be of use for families with small children, and Cowgill said an goal is to have gender-neutral locker rooms in places such as the Student Recreation Center.

“It is important to note

that it is not just for these students who are actually transitioning – it’s for everyone,” said Melissa Chesanko of the WVU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. “I know that I’ve heard people complain about sending their kids that are 5 to the opposite restroom, because you can’t be (in it) if you’re above the age of 5.”

Although the proposition is only in its beginning stages, the discussion allowed SGA members to provide students and faculty an update on the issue. Students who wish to voice their opinions can tweet SGA at @wvusga.

The WVU Foundation currently has assets of $1.2 billion and a long-term investment pool valued at $478 million.

Roth’s first mission as CEO will be to continue the foundation’s capital project, “A State of Minds,” which was launched in June 2012 and has raised $683.4 million.

“I need to learn more about the details,” Roth said.

“Right now, the number one project is raising money and meeting the goal to help WVU reach the goal of their capital campaign. I have to dive in next semester and talk to lots of people from all the schools and colleges, to help get some of those priorities and see what needs to happen.”

Xinjiang is home to largely Muslim ethnic Uighurs, who are culturally, religiously and linguistically distinct from China’s ethnic Han majority. Many have chafed under heavy-handed Communist Party rule.

Zhao Fuzhou, a security official at Beijing’s Xinjiang Dasha hotel, said police had circulated a notice seeking information about two suspects with Uighur names in the aftermath of Monday’s incident.

A clerk at the Hubei Mansion hotel also confirmed receiving the notice, while employees at other hotels said they’d been told not to discuss the matter.

The notice asked hotels about the two suspects, and to report any suspicious guests or vehicles registered with their establishments going back to Oct. 1.

One of the men, identified in the notice as Yusupu Wumaierniyazi, was listed as living in a town in the northwestern Uighur homeland of Xinjiang in which 24 police and civilians and 13 militants were killed in an attack on June 26.

The sports utility vehicle veered inside a barrier separating a crowded sidewalk from a busy avenue and then plowed through pedestrians as it sped toward Tiananmen Gate, where it crashed into a stone structure near a large portrait of Mao Zedong which hangs near the entrance to the former imperial palace.

SGA talks LGBT-friendly bathrooms

transyrambler.com

North Dakota State University had 15 gender-neutral bathrooms installed in its residence halls in 2011.

The University hopes to increase enrollment as a result of a more LGBT-friendly campus.

The West Virginia University Student Government Association hosted a discussion Tuesday night about the feasibility of installing a genderneutral bathroom in the Mountainlair. Some of the topics brought for discussion included the potential for higher enrollment as a result of the school’s progressive initiatives.

The University has implemented several LGBTfriendly practices on campus, including the announcement of the upcoming LGBT center and the various support events

This accommodation is not simply a labeling issue.

It is centered on the types of communication members of the community have when they make one of the available choices.

One solution to the problem would be to convert existing multi-stall restrooms to gender neutrality, but ideally, there would be a single-stall restroom to avoid negative reactions.

If the University approves the conversion of more gender-neutral restrooms, it would be easy enough to create policies

sprinkled throughout each semester.

It can only be commended for this potential new addition.

Transgender persons often feel uncomfortable using the strictly male or female restrooms, and a gender-neutral one would provide a safe facility in a typically single-stall, lockable restrooms.

More than 150 campuses nationwide have accommodated their students by providing genderneutral bathrooms, including Oberlin College with two gender-neutral rest-

rooms in its student union and one in every residence hall, and the New College of California, which made all of its bathrooms gender neutral.

Many of these colleges post on their websites where these bathrooms are located.

It may seem inconsequential to some, but having more gender-neutral bathrooms on campus will alleviate much of the anxiety and intimidation transgender or trans-questioning people feel when they are forced to choose either male or female.

op-ed commentary

The truth behind Brand’s BBC interview benjamin russell columnist

Russell Brand recently had an interview with BBC, in which he talked about an inevitable revolution coming to the United States of America.

With the government shutdown and multiple variables accounting for the overall horrid disposition of our economic and environmental state, Brand suggested some ideas mostly to create a buzz but also to genuinely discourage people from voting in elections.

The idea in and of itself is as interesting as a doubleedged sword. By not voting, it gives the government more power, while voting does not seem to be creating any resolutions among the parties.

Brand suggested the truth would be a sort of hybrid between a utopia and the current democratic republic government. Brand’s key points included a system that prevents destruction of the plant, eliminates massive economic disparity and recognizes the needs and wants of the American people.

A writer for The Huffington Post recently took a go at Brand after the interview by saying that the “lefties’ lack of voting” is “unoriginal” and a “selffulfilling threat to the civi-

lized world the grown-ups have spent eons building.”

There is a sense of truth in this, but for the most part, this is a low blow coming from a bitter, close-minded individual who doesn’t seem to realize the absolutely desperate state of our government.

Although the government is operating after its two-week vacation, the state of our government is no better than it was when it was open before. People still have a great deal of trouble finding sustainable jobs, which is forcing young and old folk alike to find ways to make quick cash.

There are those nearly assured post-graduate positions for doctors, lawyers and professors. Then there are those who may be fighting for the rest of their lives to find an occupation, like students in more liberal arts majors. These things contribute to the economic disparity between the upper class and lower class of working Americans.

The American people vote in representatives year in and year out, and these senators and spokesmen and women are simply taking the trust of their constituents and tossing it aside. I keep hearing a promise for change, but I never get one.

Brand’s call for an inevitable revolution may not be as crazy as many are making it out to be. As some take it as a plea for atten-

tion from a well-known celebrity, I watched the interview and took away some key points from his well put together argument.

I would agree with Brand in saying the American people desire a radical change in the way the government is conducted, especially with the current stalemate between our Democratic and Republican offices. The article published by The Huffington Post added “There will be no revolution. Grow up.”

Although there may not be a revolution in the traditional sense of an uprising destroying and taking over the government, I do believe a civil revolution is on the rise. It is already happening with the success of activists and third-party groups.

Brand, don’t grow up.

The optimism of our youth is the most exciting part about being an American.

The fact that we can change the outcome of our future is often lost when a certain age is met when there is a sudden derailment from all things that may be considered plausible.

Maybe it is just the fact “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I really can appreciate and relate to the points and suggestions Russell Brand brought up in his interview with BBC. daperspectives@mial.wvu.edu

that will require all extensively renovated and newly constructed buildings include at least one genderneutral bathroom.

WVU makes it a point to stress inclusion of all races, denominations and cultures. We already have wheelchair-accessible facilities and programs to aid students with physical and learning disabilities.

It would only make sense that the next step would be to include and make members of the LGBT community feel just as welcome.

Bullying and sports: a lesson in team spirit ryan van buren guest columnist

91-0 was the score of a high school football game in Texas that lead one parent to file a bullying complaint against the school.

Aledo High School beat Fort Worth Western Hills by 91 points, and instead of celebrating the victory, they are now faced with a bullying acquisition.

The head coach of Aledo, Tim Buchanan, didn’t want to embarrass Fort Worth but didn’t know what to tell his own players about letting the other team score: “I don’t like it. I sit there the whole third and fourth quarter and try to think how I can keep us from scoring.”

Large margins of victory are nothing new for Aledo, who have won every game this year by at least 41 points. While people might lash out against the Aledo coach, he took great measures to try to avoid another blowout. He pulled most of his starters out by the end of the third quarter and had his backups finish the game.

What really got my attention from this game is what resulted from such a lopsided victory.

Despite Fort Worth’s football team only carrying 30 players compared to Aledo’s 70, why should Aledo need to change their game plan for inferior opponents? Making a high school football team is an enormous accomplishment for many high school students, and to be told you

can’t score anymore because your opponent isn’t as good goes against all the rules of competition.

If the parents of Forth Worth were offended by the Aledo players showing poor sportsmanship or making fun of their kids, that’s understandable. But these players weren’t bullied. They just lost by a great margin.

But when they attack another coach for bullying when he is only doing his job by teaching his players the right way to play, it is completely ludicrous.

In today’s age of youth athletics, our country has completely lost focus on the values of sport. When a young boy or girl signs up for a sport or makes their school team, the game has a winner and a loser. Nowhere in any rule book does it say that one team cannot win by a certain margin or embarrass another team in the scoring column.

I’m not saying one team should taunt or harass another because they’re better than their opponents, but if they are playing the right way you can’t tell a kid who has worked so hard to be on that team that he can’t go on that field and be great.

Coach Buchanan said it best: “I would never tell them ‘Go out and let them score’. That’s not what you want to teach kids.”

He makes a great point.

If parents and coaches start feeling bad for their kid for being worse than another player, then how as a society are we supposed to teach any kid the value of

winning and losing?

Every kid has games where their team gets embarrassed, but it’s the job of the coach and the players to get better from it and work on improving their skills and talents.

If a young athlete is only told how great he or she is, he will never learn the value of hard work and what it takes to be great and better than another person he is competing against in sports or life.

Life would be easy for everyone if they always won, but in reality there needs to be practice and fight to be great, and that’s exactly what Aledo High School did. If Fort Worth can’t produce a team that can compete, then they shouldn’t put a team on the field at all.

“There was nothing unfair about (the score) other than the fact that our players were better than their players,” Coach Buchanan shared.

With that statement I believe this case should be immediately dropped and Fort Worth should work harder to get better on the field, or forfeit the season so teams like Aledo who work for perfection can play better competition and celebrate their success instead of apologizing for it.

Bullying is a serious matter that affects many kids throughout America in worse ways than a football game, and everyone must focus their attention on helping those kids in desperate need, not sore losers. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you achieve many of your key goals. Your strength emerges from an ability to detach and see the big picture. Your empathy increases, and your understanding grows. Some of you will add to these qualities through travel, education or the pleasure of knowing someone who is very evolved. You are likely to broaden your immediate circle of friends and network new acquaintances into your professional life. If you are single, you could create the type of relationship you desire. If you are attached, the two of you could become quite an unstoppable force.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Note the back-and-forth tug between risk-taking and following the status quo. You might waver

less than other signs do, but you will remain sensitive to the different undercurrents. Through understanding your nature, you will take a risk. Tonight: Try to relax.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH A brainstorming session could trigger even more of your high energy. You might decide to pursue an unusual course. Recognize your boundaries, but also note the ease with which you can break down one of these barriers, if you so choose. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You might want to hang close to home. Consider making your office more comfortable or try working from home. You see life differently from how many people see it. Be willing to try a new approach that might achieve the same goal. Tonight: Stay

centered.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You naturally stumble upon the right words. Keep the lines of communication open. When you decide which way to go, share your ideas with a trusted associate who is able to visualize different issues and scenarios. Tonight: Express your creativity around a special friend!

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Be aware of your spending in a situation that has implications. Listen to your instincts; they will guide you.

Your sixth sense points to an opportunity. Even if you make an error, you somehow will turn it around. Tonight: No one knows how to have a good time like you do!

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Take advantage of all your support-

ers, especially if you want to start a new project. You can do it! Remember that. Be willing to let a younger person know more about the specifics. He or she will give you strong feedback. Tonight: Act like the world is your oyster.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH The less said, the better. A boss or someone you look up to has a very different image for you, which he or she would like you to fulfill. You might not be able to satisfy this request. At the present moment, maintain a low-key image.

Tonight: Get some much-needed rest.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Your sense of direction points you to getting feedback and support from others. News from someone at a distance puts a smile on your face. A visit or a trip to or from a dear friend seems impending.

Make a call to this person soon. Tonight: Go for exactly what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Tension builds because others have expectations that you do not want to meet. You could feel stuck.

You must weigh the pros and cons of a decision. A partner or family member might guide you in the direction of accepting a new responsibility. Tonight: Go till the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH If you experience some discomfort with several situations, detach. You must have a favorite way of distancing yourself from trigger issues. Use it. Reframe the issue at least several times. Recognize that your perspective is not the only one.

Tonight: Put on some great music.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH

Relate to key people directly. You could be delighted by someone’s openness. You might be able to relate far more easily without “in-between” people. Use caution when making a money decision, especially if there is high risk involved. Tonight: Out to dinner with a loved one.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Others seem to be unable to contain themselves around you. They keep testing your boundaries. Sometimes these people can be very charming, yet at other times, they can be testy and difficult. Tonight: Make sure that you are ready for tomorrow.

Hello June to play 123 Pleasant Street for Halloween celebration by tiffany benson correspondent @dailyathenaeum

In the spirit of Halloween, local bands Hello June and The Love Me Nots will play at 123 Pleasant Street tomorrow night in what promises to be a high-energy event.

Indie-rock band Hello June isn’t in unfamiliar territory at 123 as natives of the Morgantown area. Band members include Whit Alexander, Dan Mace, Sarah Rudy and Lindsay Jackson.

“Hello June has played out of town in the past, but since I started playing with them at the beginning of August, we’ve played three shows at 123 Pleasant Street and a live broadcast at the

Gluck Theatre for U92,” Jackson said.

Hello June plans on celebrating early by dressing in all black and wearing Day of the Dead skulls, which will be hand painted on their faces. Each member has picked out their own style and colors for their masks.

“There will definitely be some improvisation with the skull painting, but I’m going to try my best to pay homage to the old PC game ‘Grim Fandango,’” Alexander said. “It could go horribly wrong, so no guarantees on that.”

The group currently has a three-track album that debuted in June and is available for download. It includes the songs “Wish I

Could Fight,” “Fly, Don’t Flight” and “Colors,” which they will play at 123.

“I have been going to see live music at 123 Pleasant Street since I was a freshman in high school, so having the opportunity to play there has been incredible,”Jackson said. “Every gig we play is a learning experience and I feel like our music gets a little tighter each time we play.”

The album includes mellow tunes that they have an excellent use of guitar to accent the music.

The band hopes the crowd is dressed up along with them and hopes they will dance around the stage during their performance.

‘Carrie’ remake doesn’t compare to original

Hello June performs a local show in the summer.

“I’d say the primary rea- trolled environment,” Alexson for people to come out to ander said. “With that burthe show Wednesday is that den of silliness gone, they they can use it as an outlet can approach the 31st with to unload their Halloween more focus and resolve.” wackiness and tomfoolery in The Facebook event page a safe, non-judgmental, con- already has dozens of peo-

Mitchell Glazier A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The remake of “Carrie,” starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore, debuted in mid-October to mixed reviews.

Actor and director choices were vital to the blockbuster sensation of 1976’s “Carrie.” However, with the 2013 cast, the incredible story penned

by Stephen King seems fabricated.

“Carrie” chronicles the life of a seventeenyear-old girl who is tormented by her mother’s use of religion and by her classmates who write her off as a freakish outcast.

After a popular boy asks her to prom, and the wicked Chris Hargensen plots an attack on Carrie, the story culminates in one final suspensful prom scene.

Sissy Spacek, who played Carrie in the original version, brought breadth and realness to the character. Spacek

lacked glamour in the film, allowing audiences to relate to the tormented girl who simply couldn’t catch a break.

Spacek also brought a certain breathy twang to Carrie’s dialogue, which brought life to the sheltered, awkward school girl. Piper Laurie, who played Carrie’s terrifying, ultra-religious mother, was phenomenal. Her haunting dark hair and billowing gowns evoked a witchy, horrifying persona. Along with incredible dialogue provided by Stephen King, the leading ladies in the 1976 adaptation of “Carrie” were a force to be reckoned with.

Chloe Grace Moretz, who plays Carrie in the 2013 adaptation, is simply too Hollywood for the role. With cascading blonde locks and Greta Garbo-esque features, Moretz simply isn’t fit to play the gangly and awkward Carrie White.

Her acting is even less convincing, as Moretz simply whines through her lines. Even in the movie’s most decorated

scene, which included prom gowns and pig’s blood, Moretz falls short, as she lacks the haunting features and acting ability set standard by her predecessor.

Julianne Moore, who plays Carrie’s mother in the new film, is fantastic.

While still not on par with Laurie, Moore is convincing and terrifying. The use of religious iconography coupled with her acting ability gives the new film hope for box office success.

Simply put, “Carrie” should have been left alone. Casting Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie was, unfortunately, a mistake. Her gorgeous looks slighted her role, giving an unrealistic air to the performance.

However, with the undeniable stor ytelling talent of Stephen King, who wrote the novel that was adapted into film, the story is a compelling must-see this Halloween.

Restaurant to host Day of the Dead celebration by maria solano

Chloe Grace Moretz plays Carrie in the remake of the classic.

facebook.com

Richwood Grill will host their eighth and final Dia de Los Muertos dinner each night of the week through Saturday.

Due to their upcoming retirement and closure in mid-November, they are giving away all of their tequilas – even top shelf super premiums – for half price during the event.

The dinner consists of a special menu that revolves around the Mexican holiday, Dia de Los Muertos, also known as Day of the Dead. The special menu consists of traditional foods true to the holiday’s roots.

Alegria Holland and Marion Ohlinger are the husband and wife duo who own the Richwood Grill.

The couple boasts over 45 years of restaurant experience between them.

Their restaurant specializes in global fusion created from locally grown organic ingredients: It is dedicated to the concept of sustainable agriculture, and they said they believe natural ingredients taste better.

“It is just a given what nature gave us is much better than what some factory gave us,” Ohlinger said.

Holland and Ohlinger have traveled to more than 40 countries and all 50

states, which adds to their experience.

After working in several restaurants, the couple opened Solera Cafe in Morgantown in 2003. This was the city’s first Latin fusion restaurant. One of the first ceviche bars in the area was introduced with this cafe, and over the years, it grew into the Richwood Grill.

Richwood Grill’s menu is diversified to showcase the various foods Applachia has to offer. Richwood Grill draws on the Morgantown Farmers Market for their fresh ingredients, often incorporating these local ingredients into their dishes.

Their dishes are a tribute to West Virginia’s cultural and agricultural diversity. Many cuisines can be found on the constantly evolving menu and are all created with local organic ingredients.

Richwood Grill is housed in renovated 1923 Studebaker garage, which features a view of downtown Morgantown. The atmosphere could be described as casual modern cool.

“When we were looking for a place to open our restaurant in 2003, everywhere we looked we were bumped in with everyone else. Being up here with Mario’s, we are free to do our own thing,” Ohlinger said. “We like being up

here on our own, and the view is amazing.”

The drink list features nearly 200 varieties of wines from more than 60 regions. It also includes a large selection of microbrews and imported beers, which complement the extensive premium liquor collection. They are very proud of their collection of more than 77 premium tequilas, which they say are some of the finest in the state.

“When we started out here, I don’t think anybody knew about the Day of the Dead, except for our very small Latino population, but now a lot of people know about it,” Ohlinger said.

Solera Cafe was selected by the West Virginia Department of Tourism as one of the 101 Most Unique Destinations in West Virginia and was the winner of several culinary awards.

Although the Richwood Grill will be closing in November, the owners will be looking for another location to open a new restaurant with the same ideals.

The cost for the featured dinner will be $50 with tequila or $35 without tequila. For more information about the Dia De Los Muertos dinner, visit their website at http://www. richwoodgrill.com/events. aspx. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Jonas Brothers call it quits in middle of working on fifth album NEW YORK (AP) — The Jonas Brothers are disbanding.

Nick, Joe and Kevin announced Tuesday they’re ending their highly successful run. The news comes after the brothers abruptly canceled their tour over creative differences earlier this month.

The breakup was first reported by People magazine. Publicist Jesse Derris confirmed the news and said no other details were available.

guardianlv.com

The brothers told People the breakup was unanimous and came after Nick Jonas told his brothers in a meeting earlier this month that he felt “trapped.”

The New Jersey brothers

formed the band in 2005 and built a fan base through their association with the Disney Channel.

The band had been scheduled to release its fifth album later this year.

Candy corn: the colorful Halloween candy that stands the test of time has rich history Mitchell Glazier A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Candy corn, one of the most popular Halloween sweets, was created

by George Renninger in the 1880s. Renninger, a candy maker at Wunderlee Candy Company in Philadelphia, created the iconic candy that can easily be recognized by its unusual appearance.

The three colors featured on the candy – yellow, orange and white – are an homage to actual corn kernels. The process begins by heating a mixture of sugar, marshmallow creme, vanilla extract, food coloring and corn syrup.

Once heated and thoroughly mixed, the molten hot candy is slathered onto wooden molds. From there, the candy corn is left to harden, and is packaged and enjoyed.

Candy corn has been reinvented to cater to every holiday, with festive green and red candy corn, aptly called “Reindeer Feed,” for Christmas and pastel-hued morsels for Easter.

Fun Facts • In 1950, the price of candy corn was 25 cents per pound.

• More than 35 mil-

lion pounds (or nine billion pieces) of candy corn will be produced this year.

• Candy corn is one of the healthier candies of the Halloween season. It contains roughly 28 grams of sugar and only 140 calories per handful and is fat free.

• Unopened bags of candy corn can stay fresh for nine months.

• When the Goelitz Confectionery Company first produced candy corn, it was called “Chicken Feed.” The boxes were illustrated with a colorful rooster logo and a tag line that read, “Something worth crowing for.”

Festive Recipes Candy Corn Magic Bars Ingredients –1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs –1/2 cup butter, melted –1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips –1 cup peanut butter chips –1 cup coconut –1 cup candy corn –1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces) Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 350

3. Sprinkle white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut and candy corn over the top. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the bars.

4. Bake for about 25 minutes, until they get golden around the edges. Cool completely before slicing into bars.

3. Bake for one hour or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool completely in pan before turning out onto a wire rack or cake stand.

For glaze: – 1 cup candy corn – 1/2 cup heavy cream 1. Heat the candy corn and heavy cream on low in a small saucepan, stirring frequently.

2. Once the majority of candy corn has melted, take the pan off the heat and whisk the glaze until smooth. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Time is ticking: Find your lastminute Halloween costume Stephanie Messinger A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The week is quickly coming to a close with Halloween festivities just around the corner. Thursday night is the big costume reveal for those of you prepared with an awesome outfit.

Though some of you have already been sporting your original costumes around campus this week, don’t fret if you’re one of those people still scrounging around for a costume last minute.

Those of you who have carried your semester procrastination into the holiday season, here are some tips and tricks to help you find a cheap and easy costume. After all, being re-

sourceful is what being a college student is all about.

You may be out of luck with the items left in the Halloween stores, but, little did you know, your costume is probably laying around the house somewhere. All it takes is some creativity, and you’ll have one of the most original costumes of the night.

Ladies, don’t put away those high wasted summer shorts just yet! Add suspenders, a flannel and a cowboy hat – which can easily be found at the University Town Center Dollar Tree – suddenly, you’re the next Daisy Duke. Find a cheap hard hat, some caution tape and a pair of combat boots, and you could be a cute construction worker.

Another popular cos-

tume that’s easy to make is a minion from the movie “Despicable Me.” Grab an old pair of overalls or jeans, a gold shirt, paint the black logo, and you’re set to go.

You could also add an elastic headband and super glue Dixie cups for goggles.

Still too much work for this busy week? Guys and girls can make the best costumes with one accessory : animal ears. The stores are still filled with animal ear headbands, so simply find a colored marker suitable for your animal and draw some whiskers. Find a solid color T-shirt to match, and your look is complete.

Don’t fret couples, there’s ideas left for you too. The playboy bunny and Hugh Hefner costume is always a classic. Grab a pair of bunny ears and a

plain leotard or dress for the main portion of the outfit. Also, glue cotton balls together for the tail, and let your boyfriend borrow your robes, ladies. Or, be an old sport, and find yourself a feathered headband to be a 1920’s flapper, get your guy a bow tie with some suspenders and you’re transformed into the hottest couple from “The Great Gatsby.”

Most of these simple costumes are just a combination of a little creativity and a trip to your nearest thrift store.

Not willing to make the trip Wednesday night before Halloween? Take a white pillow case, cut the other end so it’s open and paint a ghost face on it. It can’t get much easier.

Bring out your old, spar-

kle New Year’s Eve dress, add a tiara or pair of wings and some bling left over from high school dances, and you could be the next princess or fairy of Morgantown.

For guys, grab a solidcolor T-shirt lying around the house and have your craftier friend draw a superhero logo, but be prepared to save the world all night.

Finally, if you’re still stuck without a costume, grab your camouflage attire and be a hunter for Halloween.

Have fun this Halloween night, and don’t let your costume keep you from going out. After all, being a WVU Mountaineer is always the perfect costume. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Halloween Movie Reviews

Psychological thrillers provide more depth to the horror genre Westley Thompson A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Congratulations Bryce!

Horror contains many sub-genres: everything from gory, slasher films to the paranormal and supernatural. One particular subgenre of horror, and a personal favorite of mine, is psychological horror.

Like all movie sub-genres, the psychological genre is hard to define. The parameters are loose and open to interpretation, so it is often how the filmmakers and audience interpret these rules that make the movies. However, there must be some guidelines or some generic telltale marks that can be used in this category.

Psychological horror movies are often characterized by providing the audience with a foreboding sense of terror.

The first distinction is that they aren’t as in-yourface as the more overtly violent and gory movies tend to be. In fact, it’s often what you don’t see that creates the true fear. Inner demons and mental afflictions are often at the center of the plot.

These are the types of movies where the killer is more than just a mask with a knife. The killer has motive and reasoning, and their cause is usually a mental disorder that exists in real life, albeit the symptoms of these disorders are often exaggerated.

The main character some-

times serves as an unreliable narrator, and their paranoia and disturbing thoughts are the enemy.

This genre explores the sickest and darkest aspects of the human psyche, and for that reason, the fear it creates often sticks with the viewer much longer than a chain saw wielding, homicidal maniac ever could.

Most of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies make the cut in this category, most notably the 1960 film “Psycho.”

In this classic movie, mildmannered hotel proprietor Norman Bates leads a double life.

He has a split personality between his own and that of his murdered and jealous mother. When his mother’s persona is in control, he

The Division of Occupational Therapy congratulates Senior Occupational Therapy student

Bryce Cumpston

on being crowned WVU Homecoming King

kills a young woman staying in the hotel.

Norman’s mental condition is disturbing for many reasons, because his split personality causes him to kill out of jealousy.

As his mother, he kills young women out of jealousy for Bate’s love. Coupled with the fact Norman murdered his mother and her lover years earlier out of envy, this suggests an Oedipal Complex on his part.

“The Shining,” released in 1980, is the type of psychological horror that deals with insanity. Based on a Stephen King novel, it follows Jack, a father and winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, as he descends into madness.

Another great movie in this genre is the 1991 thriller, “The Silence of the Lambs.” Young FBI agent Clarice Starling must employ the aid of Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant and cannibalistic psychopath, to help her catch the elusive serial killer known as Buffalo Bill.

Buffalo Bill desires to be a woman, so he rectifies this identity crisis by kidnapping and skinning young women. He creates suits out of his victims’ skin.

The 1995 crime thriller “Se7en” also deserves mention. Two detectives must track a serial killer who bases his murders off the seven deadly sins. None of the killing is ever seen, but it’s the implications of how the victims die that make the movie terrifying. Kevin Spacey’s character’s perverse conviction in his own rigorousness is chilling, and trying to understand his twisted psyche is what gives the movie a lot of power.

“The Blair Witch Project” is another movie that successfully incorporates psychological horror. Created in 1999, it is one of the first “found footage” movies, where the story is told through amateur documentary tapes found by a third party. In “The Blair Witch Project,” college students head out into the woods of Maryland with the goal of filming a documentary about a local legend known as the Blair

Witch. This movie epitomizes how psychological horror doesn’t have to show the viewer murders and gore to scare them. The film simply implies these things, and your mind fills in the details.

In 2004, the first “Saw” movie was released. While all of its sequels have become gore-filled porn with convoluted plots, the first one remains a solid psychological horror film. The audience must question everything throughout this entire movie. Who is trustworthy?

Who is the jigsaw killer?

What is everyone’s motive and relation to each other?

Even when you think you have it figured out, a curve ball is thrown, and you have to rethink everything.

It quite effectively builds a great sense of paranoia and dread. Paired with the disturbing imagery and torture methods, it makes for an excellent movie.

“Black Swan,” released in 2010, utilizes the crazy and unreliable narrator plot device. Natalie Portman’s character loses her grip on reality and goes crazy while training for a part in a famous ballet dance. Her hallucinations start out subtle and increasingly get more obvious and severe, which creeps the audience out in an excellent fashion. Watching her go from innocent to insane is remarkable and terrifying.

Psychological horror is a sub-genre with a lot of scaring power. While all types of horror movies are fun to watch and can be quite scary, psychological horror relies on more cerebral types of terror. Violence isn’t always shown, which lets your mind fill in the details – most often more terrifying than anything Hollywood could have produced on their own.

This list is by no means comprehensive, and psychological horror crosses many genres. So, grab some popcorn and give some attention to the killers and characters who are a little darker and a little more twisted than everyone else. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

The Great Morgantown Pumpkin Mystery

submitted

A pumpkin with a ransom note sits on the Express Mart’s counter.

Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Who in their right mind would actually steal a pumpkin? Actually, who would steal two pumpkins from someone’s front porch and leave a ransom note? These are the questions I’ve been asking myself the past week.

When I was home during fall break, I wanted to bring back a couple of pumpkins to school for our porch, so I got two of them at about $5 each from Wal-Mart.

When my roommate and I came back to school, she said there was a possibility someone would take them, and I agreed. However, we planned to leave them on the back porch, where we thought nobody could get to them unless they had access through the house.

The next day I carved one with a jack-o’-lantern face and put it back out front. On Thursday of the same week, both pumpkins were gone.

There was a note on my front door demanding a case of beer at the Express Mart on Stewart Street for the return of my pumpkins. This ransom note was signed by Grover Cleveland.

Now, several thoughts went through my head. I called all of the usual suspects – my friends – interrogating them before finally giving up.

The day rolled around, and I had dinner plans, but my friends wanted to see what was going on with the pumpkins. So, we ventured to the Express Mart about an hour later than the thieves wanted us to, and nobody was there.

When we went inside Express Mart, there was a lone pumpkin sitting on the counter with yet another ransom note demanding beer to be left outside in order to get the other, carved pumpkin back.

Another week went by and nothing happened with the pumpkin mystery, and Sunday I carved the other pumpkin with the flying WV and two stars.

I may or may not have posted the picture on my Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to taunt whoever has the other, with a caption that said, “I hope you can see this from my back porch.”

I was gone from the apartment all day Monday, and when I returned, there was another note.

Someone had actually gone into my house, taken my pumpkin and left a note on the back door demanding cookies and cupcakes today at 9 p.m. at the same location.

When I tweeted a picture of this note, a “Grover Cleveland” Twitter account followed me and began to tweet that it wasn’t the original thieves who did the deed this time.

While all of this is confusing, it’s also quite hilarious. Tuesday the WV pumpkin was returned to the front porch, but Mr. Cleveland did tweet a picture of my first jacko’-lantern with a knife in the top of it asking how much I loved my pumpkin.

I still can’t figure out who kidnapped my pumpkin.

Maybe someone is actually stalking me because a regular prankster would have just smashed my pumpkins off the porch.

Thanks for the Halloween entertainment, but you can keep my rotting jacko’-lantern, Grover. Oh, and you aren’t getting a case of beer, cookies or cupcakes for a pumpkin. That’s just outrageous. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Wide receiver Kevin White drops a pass after being hit by Kansas State defensive back Dante Barnett in West Virginia’s 35-12 loss Saturday.

West Virginia letting leads slip through fingers, struggling to put teams away in second half by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

In the middle of a threegame losing streak, a disturbing trend of a secondhalf collapse has emerged for West Virginia. This has been especially visible in its last two losses to Texas Tech and Kansas State.

In what were two critical games, important to its bowl hopes, West Virginia has been outscored 52-17 in the second half.

“It’s a huge concern. It’s a four-quarter game. That doesn’t happen to good teams,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Against Kansas State Saturday, both Wildcat quarterbacks, Jake Waters and Daniel Sams, struggled to be consistent in the first half, but found a rhythm with the offense in the second as the Wildcats pulled away late.

“I think we had a good plan (Saturday). We executed it in the first half and didn’t execute it in the sec-

ond half. Why? I don’t know,” Holgorsen said.

In both games, West Virginia’s offense has been significantly slowed down in the second half, while the defense has struggled to get off the field on third downs, by allowing opponents to control the clock and the flow of the game.

After Saturday’s first half was statistically dominated

by West Virginia, Kansas State took control in the second half. After gaining 142 total yards on 25 plays in

the first half, head coach Bill Snyder’s team gained 306 yards on 39 plays in the second half.

Where Kansas State’s offense excelled in the second half, West Virginia’s faltered.

The Mountaineers gained 221 yards on 39 plays in the first half, but managed only 146 yards on 32 plays in the second half.

Marshall defeats West Virginia in four sets Tuesday night by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

For the first time in 2013, the West Virginia volleyball team dropped their first match to a nonconference foe when Marshall came into the WVU Coliseum Tuesday night and took down the Mountaineers 3-1 (16-25, 25-20, 22-25, 23-25). Marshall’s victory allowed the Herd to hold on to the coveted “golden ball” they have held since 2011.

“Credit to Marshall: they played really well.

We basically got outplayed tonight. We could have passed better for sure. We had a pretty poor passing performance, which makes it hard to run your offense,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “They were still better at the end of

sets and we need to be better. We started playing tentative at the end of sets.”

After holding an early 4-1 lead, Marshall’s freshman Ally Kiekover served up two aces to bring her team back into the match.

After evening the score at 4-4, Marshall’s dominant defense never gave up the lead. Freshman Elyse Panick’s four kills would help her team clinch the set 25-16.

“We were playing really well to start the start, but then our passing started to break down. We had five reception errors in the first set alone. You just can’t do that,” Kramer said.

West Virginia’s freshman outside hitter Jordan Anderson’s three kills in the opening minutes of the second set gave her a team a familiar 4-1

lead. The Mountaineers didn’t squander the lead in this set, as both Anderson and sophomore Nikki Attea found their groove.

Anderson and Attea both chipped in five kills on the way to a 25-20 set win.

Anderson’s two quick kills to open the third set helped fuel her team to a 5-2 lead, which forced Marshall’s head coach Mitch Jacobs to call an early timeout. After the break, Marshall’s Lauren Legge connected with her setter Sammie Bane twice to spark a comeback. Tied at 22-22 in the third, Panick’s three consecutive kills gave Marshall a 2-1 advantage heading into the third.

WVU opened up another 5-2 lead for the second consecutive set behind Anderson’s three early kills. The Mountain-

eers would hold onto this lead until Marshall fought back to even the set at 22-22.

Kramer was forced to call her final timeout of the set to tell her team it was now a game of three and to stay aggressive.

The Herd took advantage of a late error from Anderson and finished the set with two consecutive kills from Cassie Weaver and Kiekover.

Anderson finished her night with a new careerhigh 24 kills. Along with Anderson’s performance, Attea recorded 13 kills and junior middle blocker Evyn McCoy posted 12 kills and eight blocks.

West Virginia will stay at home to recover from the loss, which is something Kramer said she plans to take full advantage of.

“We’ll watch video to-

morrow and hold small group training sessions tomorrow to work on some things. It was a quick turnaround for them after last match, and I think they deserve a break,” she said.

The Mountaineers will return to action Saturday as they take on Big 12 conference foe Texas Tech in the WVU Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Spurgeon improving in smallbore by meghan carr

10 years now, and I think the mental aspect of knowing how to go into your matches is a big key in consistency,” Spurgeon said.

On a team where smallbore tends to get overshadowed by air rifle, it’s smallbore shooters like Spurgeon who play an integral role on the team.

His statistics show a slightly higher score in air rifle, but Spurgeon believes he is stronger in smallbore.

“I believe my strength is more in smallbore. I tend to like smallbore more than air rifle and I’ve shot smallbore longer than air rifle. I think that is why it comes easier for me.”

Smallbore has a smaller margin of error than air rifle, therefore the scores will be slightly lower than air rifle.

The four-time National Junior Olympics qualifier said he chose WVU because of the winning tradition.

“I wanted to come some-

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Sophomore Garrett Spurgeon is one of the top shooters for the West Virginia University rifle team, and going into his second year he is expected to be become one of the leaders for the team.

“Garrett’s a seasoned performer and was a First Team All-American last year,” said head coach Jon Hammond. “He’s definitely one of our strongest smallbore shooters.”

When asking coaches and people close to Spurgeon to describe his game, they simply say consistent.

The Canton, Mo., native shot an average of 583.5 in smallbore, 587.57 in air rifle and finished with an average of 1171.07 total for the 201213 season.

“I think it’s something that just comes with practice. I’ve been shooting for a little over

where where I could win a National Championship, and I felt that this was the best opportunity for me. I looked around at other universities but also felt that academically this was right for me.”

As a freshman, Spurgeon shot a 589 in air rifle and a 576 in smallbore at the 2013 NCAA Championships.

As a result of Spurgeon’s achievements, he was named GARC Rookie of the Year. Spurgeon also earned NRA All-America First Team honors in Smallbore and Second Team in Air Rifle. He finished out the year on the All-GARC First Team Smallbore and Combined Score.

Spurgeon also received an Honorable Mention for Air Rifle This year the rifle team has started slow, not producing the kind of scores that they were used to seeing last season, but they still have an undefeated record (3-0, 2-0 GARC).

Holgorsen’s decision-making costly for West Virginia

During Saturday’s match against GARC rival Army, Spurgeon placed first in smallbore with a score 586 and second in air rifle with a score of 590. This was the second week in a row the sophomore placed first and second in both categories, respectively.

On the road against thenNo. 9 Nebraska, Spurgeon placed first in smallbore with a score of 584 and second in air rifle with a score of 590.

After a rusty start, Spurgeon said he is happy with where his team is at the moment.

good things in the first half,” said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson.

“In the third quarter we ran five plays. When you get the ball (against) a team like K-State you know what they’re going to do. They’re going to sit on the ball.

You’ve got to take advantage of it and we didn’t.”

The Mountaineers ran 13 plays in the third quarter, but Dawson’s point remains that Kansas State was successful in keeping the ball away from West Virginia, as the Wildcats held the ball for 10:53 of the 15-minute quarter.

Everything that went right for the West Virginia defense in the first half went wrong in the second. After holding the Wildcats to a 1-5 success rate on third downs and limiting big plays in the first half, Kansas State went 7-8 in the second half and had 11 plays that gained 10 or more yards.

“I don’t know how to describe it. We make one mistake in the first half and give up a touchdown. Then you come out in the second half and it’s about execution,” said defensive coordinator Keith Patterson.“ It doesn’t matter what you do for the first half or for three quarters, it’s a matter of playing 60 minutes.”

Big plays through the air against Texas Tech and Kansas State when the game is at a turning point have hurt the

West Virginia defense.

A 10-yard touchdown pass from Davis Webb to Jace Amaro with 1:01 left in the game sealed the Mountaineers’ fate Oct. 19 as the Red Raiders went on to a 37-27 victory.

West Virginia’s defense surrendered two big plays through the air in the fourth quarter Saturday that tilted the game in Kansas State’s favor.

A 30-yard touchdown pass from Jake Waters to Tramaine Thompson gave the Wildcats a 21-12 lead with 11:11 left in the game and a 24-yard touchdown strike from Waters to Tyler Lockett pushed the score to 2812 with 7:31 left and all but ended West Virginia’s hopes of getting its first road victory of the season.

“We gave up two big plays, like big shots (in the second half). That’s all you need to give up. They did a great job capitalizing on our mistakes and moving the ball downfield,” said senior safety Darwin Cook.

With a record of 3-5, West Virginia needs to go at least 3-1 for its last four games in order to become bowl eligible. For this to happen, the Mountaineers have to figure out what is causing them to fall apart in the second half and right the ship.

“I don’t feel like we’re losing confidence. I just feel like we need to just execute better…(We’re) just going to go back (this week) and get back to work,” Cook said. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu
