Emergency alert system questioned Recent events spark doubt in MPD’s, UPD’s effectiveness at alerting students by laura haight city editor @laura_Haight
On Friday, Sept. 26, two women were sexually assaulted on the Rail Trail in Morgantown, W.Va. The first assault occurred around 4 a.m. and the second at 8:30 a.m. Many students were surprised when
they didn’t receive an emergency alert from West Virginia University. On Sunday morning at approximately 3 a.m., a strong armed robbery occurred on High Street near Dairy Queen. The victim said five or six black males pushed him to the ground and took his cell phone and wallet.
Yet again, there was no emergency alert sent out to WVU students. Many students have questions on whose responsibility it is to alert them to these potentially dangerous incidents. Bob Roberts, the WVU Police chief, attended the Student Government Association meeting last Wednesday to address students’ concerns about safety in the community, and the confusion brought about from the lack of alerts regarding the sexual assaults on the rail trail. Roberts said the Morgantown Police Depart-
ment did not contact UPD about the first sexual assault because the victim wasn’t a student and there was nothing unique about the crime since it happened at 4 a.m. on the Rail Trail. There wasn’t an alert sent out after the second assault because when the University was contacted, the suspect was already in custody. “There was no threat to the campus so we didn’t send out an alert,” Roberts said. “I realize a lot of people might like to know that information, but if the person’s arrested then all we’re really reporting to you is

Mountaineers Nash, Shumiloff tie the knot at Gold Lot during Saturday’s game By Jennifer skinner correspondent @dailyathenaeum
Most wedding parties don’t proceed down the aisle to John Denver’s “Country Roads,” and most newlyweds don’t exit their ceremony to a recording of “Hail, West Virgina” performed by The Pride of West Virginia Marching Band. Shalee Nash and Scott Shumiloff are not most newlyweds. This past Saturday, approximately 100 guests witnessed the tailgate wedding of Nash and Shu-
miloff at 9 a.m. in the Gold Lot adjacent to University Avenue. They spent the rest of the day celebrating their marriage and WVU football. The couple planned to wait until next summer to be married. However, Nash had the idea of having their wedding at a tailgate on game day, which also happened to be her birthday. “It’s perfect, it’s simple,” Shumiloff said about their unconventional venue choice. “The marriage is what matters.” Nash donned a white WVU football jersey while
her groom sported a gold one. Nash’s two sons, Benjamin, 7, and Sean, 5, walked her down the aisle to give her away. Nash and Shumiloff ’s mothers created the altar, comprised of blue and gold flowers and ribbons on two classy pillars. The wedding party included maid of honor Misty Renolds and bridesmaids Amy Schulte, Karsten Davery and Rachel Burack. Each of them wore their own WVU spirit wear and carried a bouquet of blue and gold flowers in decorated glass bottles and Koozies.
Chuck Fortney and Dan Martin served as the best men and TJ Johnson and Patrick Daley were groomsmen. Nash’s cousin, Stormy Matlick, photographed the wedding, and Billy Page, husband of Shumiloff ’s cousin, officiated the ceremony. At the reception, guests ate typical tailgate food and enjoyed a WVUthemed wedding cake made by Nash’s grandmother, which featured a football player and cheerleader topper.

Dark clouds rolled in Friday afternoon in Morgantown, W.Va., but this didn’t stop members of West Virginia University’s Student Government Association from asking students what change they want to see from the administration and the University. “The DA posted an article about SGA,” said Anna Onderik, SGA director of recruitment, “so (this event is) kind of just a response to show people that we are out here, we are willing to do things and take in any suggestions that any students have for the University.” SGA members stood outside of the Mountainlair in the brick area, and later inside, with a white board. On it was the question: “What change do you wish to see in the University and/or student government?” Hilary Kinney, the multimedia coordinator for SGA, said The Daily Athenaeum’s editorial last week sparked this event. She said the communication team decided to host this event after its success in previous years. “I think that after this week, a lot of members of SGA have realized that

we haven’t been reaching out enough,” Kinney said. “Not only that, we’re having trouble getting things done with our platforms.” She said the reason SGA members haven’t been able to complete as many individual platforms as they would like is due to a lack of teamwork. However, she said there has been no animosity or “bad mouthing between members.” “Its hard to go from being enemies with someone to working together to make progress,” Kinney said. “It’s not that we aren’t making progress, it’s that we aren’t working enough together to make it happen.

University remembers Paul Robert Stover with bell-ringing Friday by jacob bojesson editor-in-chief @jbojesson
Paul Robert Stover, 21, of Morgantown, W.Va., passed away Thursday Sept. 18 following an accident. The life of the senior West Virginia University economics student was honored with a bell-ringing ceremony Friday. Around 60 people from the University community attended the ceremony to give
Paul Stover one last goodbye. The Stover family was presented with a certificate signed by WVU President E. Gordon Gee and Dean of Students Corey Farris honoring Paul Stover’s life and contributions to WVU. “I know that Paul will always be alive on our campus, in our hearts and in our lives through the wonderful memories of your experiences together,” said Kim Mosby, senior associate dean for Student Life. “He will be

He was a member of the City Church of Morgantown and was actively involved in Young Life. “He loved assisting others and was passionate about his love for Jesus and helping oth-
ers to find God,” Mosby said. “He especially loved his family and served as a role model for his siblings and younger cousins.” Friends and family of Paul Stover recognized his friendly personality and his willingness to help others. They also acknowledged the role he played as a mentor for his younger siblings and his friends in the church community.

Community members and students walk down High Street for the Homecoming parade.
By Christie carroza and Evelyn Merithew DA staff @dailyathenaeum
On Friday, Oct. 3, the annual West Virginia University Homecoming Parade filled the streets of downtown Morgantown. Thousands of students, alumni and Morgantown residents came out despite the poor weather to cheer on their fellow Mountaineers as they paraded down High Street. At 6 p.m., Mountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia fired his musket to initiate the beginning of the parade. He said having the opportunity to help lead the student body was nothing less than a neat experience. “It was really cool. (Being able to) fire a rifle in the middle of downtown Morgantown is a good feeling so I enjoyed that part. I shook a lot of hands, high-fived a lot
STOVER
Continued from page 1 “He was super awesome, he was always helpful for me and all my friends and my brother and his brother,” said Morgan Stover, Paul Stover’s younger sister. “Literally anybody and everybody that he came in contact with, he was willing to help all the time.” The family was greatly touched by the large turnout at the ceremony, and said it shows what a positive influence he was in people’s lives. “I definitely think that his
of kids, took a lot of pictures. It was a full day,” Garcia said. Honorary parade marshals Bobby and Ann Bowden began the march, followed by the marching band, cheerleaders, dance team, awareness banners, advertisement vehicles, and decorated sorority and fraternity floats. The Greek organizations introduced a multicultural strand of floats to liven the Greek theme “It’s a small world.” The floats were built throughout the week leading up to the parade by the Greek members. Eden Getachew of Delta Gamma was escorted by a male member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, sitting atop a paper mâché elephant made to represent Indian culture. “We all prepared for the parade by all working together late nights on the float. It was a lot of work, but well worth
it in the end,” Getachew said. WVU class of ‘83 alumna Nancy Grazier was part of the WVU marching band during her time at the University. She enjoyed watching the band perform in the parade. “(There were) 380 people on the field today, each year (the band) gets better and better. It’s kind of awesome to come back and see our legacy,” Grazier said. Garcia said that one of the best parts of Homecoming is the special occasion to see different groups on campus work hard for the same cause. “People put a lot of work into it and want to show off their hidden talents,” he said. “The frats and sororities come out, the politicians hand out candy to try and sway people during election season. A lot of organizations (get together) so it
turned out really well.” Although the weather could have been better, the event’s high turnout rate and the crowd’s immense school spirit made the parade’s success as great as past parades have been. “There isn’t a better or worse when it comes to homecomings,” Garcia said. “Each is unique.” Racel Poe and Matt Elder were named Homecoming Queen and King respectively. Elder said his favorite part was the parade. “The parade was definitely the best part. The game was pretty cold and not a lof ot students showed up, unfortuantely,” Elder said. “But the parade was definitey the highlight of my weekend. Everyone was in a great mood and excited to be a part of it.”
death has brought people closer together, just as like a big WVU family and I really love that there are so many people that came,” Morgan Stover said. Paul Stover also left a large impression on several faculty members at WVU. Majoring in economics with a minor in French, Paul Stover’s charisma and friendliness was noticed by several of his professors. “I know his academic side,” said Clifford Hawley, the chair of the economics department and a professor of economics. “I could see that he was smart and was an excellent student. Every semester when we
would meet for advising, he would be well-prepared. Talking to him, I could see that not only was he bright, but he was a smart and humble guy with a really nice smile.” Last summer, Paul Stover was part of a group of 25 students who traveled to France for a five-week-study-abroad program. The program was headed by Jennifer Orlikoff, a teaching assistant professor in languages. Orlikoff recorded pictures to post on the school’s website to let people back home keep up with the trip activities. Looking back on the pictures, Orlikoff realized Paul Stover was in most of them
- reinforcing his friendly character. “Paul was just such a tremendous, tremendous person,” Orlikoff said. “Basically just a beacon of light. He had such a generous spirit and was so friendly. People liked to be with him and he genuinely liked everyone with whom he came into contact with.” Once the ceremony was over, Mountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia fired his rifle and pointed toward the sky in respect for Paul Stover. Paul Stover is survived by his parents and two younger siblings.
SAFETY
the municipalities and the county: What are you sending out? Everyone brings it back to UPD to send out these alerts but we feel it’s important that the information (is correct).” Roberts said he valued hearing students’ questions about community safety at the SGA meeting, but he said they should direct their concerns to the City of Morgantown. “I think the students need to have the discussion they’re having with me, with Jeff Mikorski at the City, about how NIXEL is going to work, (and) what needs to come out to help them make sound decisions and be safe,” Roberts said. “We’re trying to do everything we can, but some people think we need to do the entire community, but that’s not what we’re here for.” NIXEL is the City of Morgantown’s free alert system, but it hasn’t been updated for three months and primarily sends out alerts regarding road closures. The Monongalia Emergency Centralized Communications Agency released an app called “Safetown” to aid Morgantown residents in reporting crime and receiving help. Director of Monongalia County Homeland Security Emergency Management Agency and MECCA 9-1-1 Mike Wolfe was unable to be reached before press time.

By the time the press release was received, Roberts said there was no ongoing threat to the campus, which is why he told his staff to notify students through Facebook and Twitter. “These cases that happen off campus, we don’t always have the information because we’re not doing the investigation,” Roberts said. “So, I think sometimes the question should be asked to

He said other platforms will take longer to complete, but as they come closer to completion, participation from governors not directly involved with the platform will increase. “It seems to be on a case by case basis, but everyone needs to technically do work for themselves,” Neu said. “Then, once the work gets in progress, afe app. “As I understand from talking to LiveSafe, there’s been no University and City jointly sign up, so that would be very interesting,” Roberts said. When a crime is reported via the LiveSafe app, the first thing the app does is notify University Police of the location. Regardless of whether the crime is on or off campus, if it is a serious incident University Police will respond. However, if the incident is not an emergency and off-campus, University Police will contact the appropriate personnel in the jurisdiction for them to respond. “Send the tips to us and we’ll get them to the right people. If it’s a serious incident we’ll be responding,” Roberts said. “The key is to get signed up. 1,971 people (have signed up), that’s not very good. Especially with the number of people walking around with iPhones and Androids.” Alison Tartaglia, a health education specialist for WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health, said that LiveSafe could result in more proactive bystanders and make intervening in potentially dangerous situations easier and safer. “We don’t want anyone to intervene in a situation where they’re afraid of their own safety,” Tartaglia said. “With something like the LiveSafe app, you can report what you’re seeing anonymously and safely and get help for that person in a

it has shown in SGA that others will jump on.” Although events like Friday’s are a way for students to voice their opinions to SGA, Neu said the best way for students to be heard is to tweet at @ WVUSGA. He said students have been utilizing this line of communication more and more this week. “If they wanted to learn more about how we can make campus safer with the rail trail incident, we directed them to out directory of safety,” Neu said. “If they wanted to know more about sour smoking, we directed them to Hayley Harman who is on top of that.” Neu said he will begin compiling the most requested things to present during his executive speech at weekly SGA meetings. “As long as we communicate more effectively,” Neu said, “we will make more progress.” jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu
way that doesn’t put you in danger.” Tartaglia said she is not sure that sending out an alert for sexual assaults would be beneficial. “It’s tricky with sexual assault. The majority of sexual assaults that happen on college campuses are perpetrated by people known by the victim and alcohol is involved,” she said. “So in situations like that, alerts wouldn’t necessarily be helpful. I don’t know in a situation like (the one) we had this past weekend, I’m not sure that would have been helpful or not.” She said an alert may have helped if the assaults had happened days apart, to let people know to be more alert and aware than they normally are, but sending an alert out after the fact may cause unnecessary panic. “I saw the story and immediately got worried about the people I know who run or walk on the rail trail. Looking that they caught the person was a total afterthought,” Tartaglia said. “So in a situation like that, especially since he was caught so shortly after the incident happened, I don’t know it would have done anything.” Chief Roberts said students should use LiveSafe for reporting non-emergency crimes in the Morgantown community. For all emergencies, he said to not hesitate to call 9-1-1. lhaight@mail.wvu.edu

CPASS hosts dedication ceremony for new location Rachel mcbride correspondent @DAILYATHenaeum
The West Virginia University College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences hosted a dedication ceremony to celebrate the College’s new building and location. CPASS is now located across from the Student Recreation Center on the Evansdale campus. “This building was de-
signed with academics in mind,” said Kim Cameon, a key college communicator for CPASS. CPASS was formerly located at the Coliseum. Although moving programs’ locations was a bittersweet move for the faculty, many believe the new location will strongly enhance the College’s success. The new facility features many high-tech computer labs, research centers, observation rooms and a fitness
center as well as many classrooms centered on student success within the College. Many speakers elaborated on the importance of the college and its new building, emphasizing what the new building means to them as well as their role within the University. Speakers for the dedication included Dana Brooks, dean of CPASS, Julie Wallace Carr, a member of the CPASS visiting committee, Edward Etzel, a member of CPASS
faculty and Ashley Morgan, a senior in the program. “Colleges have always been at the forefront of thinking. Colleges really are the heart of an institution,” said WVU President E. Gordon Gee. The College’s outstanding staff, successful alumni and growing opportunities were touched on in each speaker’s presentation. “We have obviously moved into a great facility,” Etzel said.
CPASS’s success is predicted to continue to flourish with the new resources now available to the staff and students. With ample educational resources and a more accessible building, the students and faculty of CPASS are expected to reap the benefits of the new institution. “(The building will help in) a lot of different ways. The faculty feel more connected with the campus here,” said Emily Jones, an assistant
professor within CPASS. The formation of the building is one that required much attention, work and dedication in its process. It is a vision that has been in the making for quite some time. “There was a tremendous amount of effort to make this a reality,” Etzel said.

AP WEST VIRGINIA
W.Va. Senate race has state, national implications CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — When picking its U.S. senators, West Virginia traditionally has stuck with what’s most familiar. For 55 years, the Mountain State has only sent Democrats to the Senate. Jay Rockefeller and the late Robert Byrd, for instance, spent about three and five decades respectively in the nation’s capital — long enough to have their names affixed to college buildings, airports and highways around the state. As Rockefeller eyes retirement, the race for his job is fueling a shake-up in the state and the national political scene. Republican Shelley Moore Capito and Democrat Natalie Tennant are vying for one of a handful of seats nationwide that could sway a slim Democratic Senate majority. The contest could symbolize how tides are turnAP ing in West Virginia. Capito West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant speaking May 13 at her headquarters in Charleston, W.Va. Tennant will face is a heavy favorite hoping for a signature GOP win, Shelly Moore Capito in the November election for the US Senate seat for W.Va. as the historically Democratic state veers further right amid strong voter disdain for President Barack Obama. Either way, the result will make history. Capito or Tennant would be West Virginia’s first woman in the Senate. Capito and Tennant don’t hail from unfamiliar circles for West Virginia politics. Capito has served in Congress since 2000 and was a state lawmaker before that. Her father, Arch Moore, was one of the most popular GOP governors in state history, despite serving 33 months in federal confinement for corruption felonies. In 1978, he lost a bid for the same Senate seat that Capito is seeking. Tennant, the two-term secretary of state, was a TV journalist for 12 years. At West Virginia University, AP she once sported the DanWest Virginia Rep.

Capito faces Democrat Natalie Tennant in loader, coonskin cap and the November election. all — as the first female
Mountaineer mascot. She marched in WVU’s homecoming parade Friday. This is her family’s second run-in with Capito. Tennant’s husband, Democratic state Sen. Erik Wells, lost a 2004 U.S. House challenge against Capito. Tennant also lost a special election bid for governor in 2011. In a race ensnared in energy policy rhetoric, Capito and Tennant talk plenty about protecting coal. They vehemently oppose federal regulations that would curb carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants, an anti-global warming push that coal country advocates fear would cripple their hurting industry. Both are fervent about firearms rights, occasionally arguing over who’s the bigger gun lover. For West Virginia Democrats, the toughest hurdle isn’t even on the ballot. Obama lost all 55 counties in 2012, a harsh reprimand against his environmental policies on coal, gun control initiatives and other issues. Tennant, who supported the president in 2008 and 2012, vows to buck him and the D.C. establishment on coal and other issues. Pundits say the anti-Obama wave is too overwhelming. “(Tennant) has the kind of qualities that could make her an appealing candidate,” said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of The Rothenberg Political Report. “The problem is, she’s a Democrat in Obama’s second midterm with a president wildly unpopular in the state. It just never added up to her having a serious chance of winning.” At an August rally in coal-centric Beckley, the GOP wasn’t subtle about its strategy. Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, Capito and GOP congressional candidates spent 20 minutes almost singularly laying blame on Obama and Democrats for coal’s
downturn. Tennant, like other Democrats facing tough elections, says the race has nothing to do with Obama. Democratic superstars including Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have dropped in for fundraising events for Tennant. It has been a tip-toe act for Tennant to make clear what she supports from mainstream Democrats -minimum wage increases, college loan forgiveness, equal pay, financial industry pushback -- and where she differs, like coal and guns. “We don’t agree on everything,” Tennant said after the Warren event in July. “I’m building a coalition of what is first for West Virginia.” Tennant has pegged Capito as the banking industry’s best friend in Congress. A Tennant TV ad claims the congresswoman was privy to insider information on the House Financial Services Committee and financially benefited from it. Capito’s husband is an investment banker. “ Thes e alle gations were batted back many, many times,” Capito said. “There’s no basis in fact. I really think she’s taken it to the gutter.” Capito also had a head start in the race. She announced her bid a couple weeks after the November 2012 election, before Rockefeller decided to retire in January 2013. Tennant entered the race 10 months after Capito, who started with $1.6 million from her House account and has maintained about a 3-to-1 money edge since. Mo re c o n s e r vat i ve groups, such as the Heritage Foundation and Americans for Prosperity, signaled they weren’t thrilled with Capito’s slightly more moderate voting record. But a serious challenge from the right never surfaced.
Pipeline’s path stirs political opposition in Va., W.Va. RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A proposed $5 billion pipeline that would deliver natural gas to the Southeast is finding pockets of opposition along its planned path in West Virginia and Virginia, where it would carve through two national forests. The 550-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline is also seeing resistance in remote high-elevation sections of Virginia amid concerns it would traverse an environmentally sensitive landscape. Some landowners also object to plans for the pipeline to dissect their property. Some landowners, such as Andrew Gantt, are pushing back. He has refused to let surveyors onto hundreds of acres in Nelson County, midway between Charlottesville and Lynchburg, that are devoted to loblolly pines and hardwoods such as maple and oak. The ancestral land dates to the first European settlers. “To have a natural gas pipeline charge through this land that we have worked so hard to keep for so long is a travesty,” Gantt, 78, said. If construction crews come on his property, he said, “Then I’ll lie down under their bulldozer. I’m serious.” The pipeline has plenty of supporters, for sure, including Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe. The Democrat has called the project a “game changer” that will enrich the state’s economy by attracting new businesses
with the promise of abundant and relatively cheap energy supplies. McAuliffe’s counterpart in West Virginia, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, has sounded a similar sentiment. The energy project “has the potential to create good-paying jobs for our hard-working men and women,” he said in a statement. Officials in a number of localities along the planned route also have embraced the project, which would deliver natural gas to Virginia and North Carolina. A study commissioned by Dominion concludes the pipeline’s construction could have a total economic impact of $2.7 billion in Virginia, North Carolina and West Virginia. The pipeline is being proposed by Dominion Resources, Duke Energy and other partners to deliver natural gas from Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. It would begin in Harrison County, West Virginia, and stretch through Virginia and North Carolina to Robeson County, near the South Carolina border. The pipeline, most of which would be buried 3 to 5 feet deep, would deliver 1.5 billion cubic feet a day of natural gas a day from drilling in the Marcellus and Utica shale deposits. Those account for more than onefourth of the nation’s natural gas. Much of the opposition is centered in rugged moun-

said. “The pipeline is essentially a major industrial activity with a big linear footprint through rugged, intact habitat.” Buppert said a major concern is that sediment and other pollution from the pipeline’s construction would foul streams that contain native trout and the headwaters of streams that provide water to downstream communities. Chet Wade, vice president for corporate communications for Dominion, said national forests already allow commercial activities such as timbering. He said the utility has worked with the U.S. Forest Service to adjust the pipeline’s path through the national forests. “Obviously, you want to be very respectful of the forest and protect the most sensitive areas,” Wade said. The Monongahela National Forest, he noted, already is home to a natural gas pipeline and a gas storage field.

Tennant, Capito debate important West Virginians, along with the rest of the nation, will cast their midterm election votes Nov. 4. There are many important decisions to be made in many districts across the nation. One of these decisions is in our own backyard. The nation has its eyes on West Virginia, specifically on the open Senate seat. Vying for that seat are Natalie Tennant (Democarat) and Shelley Moore Capito (Republican). Joining Tennant and Capito in the race is Bob Baber (Mountain), John Buckley (Libertarian) and Phil Hu-

This marks a monumentous moment in West Virginia’s history. Never before has this state been represented in the U.S. Senate by a woman. As students, we have a responsibility to be informed about candidates and their platforms. As Mountaineers, we have the responsibility of choosing the best person to represent our state.

Kulesza doing social media the right way with coffee marshall amores columnist @dailyathenaeum
There are 980 people in the U.S. named Vernon Brown, Li Lin and Russel Thomas. I discovered this fun fact after googling the phrase “980 people.” This is the number of friends I have on Facebook. Of those 980 Facebook friends, I can honestly say I’m moreso acquaintances or even complete strangers with a substantial majority of them. Friendship is inherently a subjective emotional connection between people, but I knew the friendships Facebook informed me I shared with 980 others are not completely true. I felt bummed out that I was using a website under the guise of staying connected with others when I, in fact, was doing the exact opposite. Matt Kulesza thought the same things I did. Kulesza is a 28-year-old student from Melbourne, Australia who, in September, asked himself the question: “Who are these one thousand apparent friends I have who I’d accumulated over about seven years?” Kulesza’s curiosity led him to embark on a new journey in his life to meet every one of his 1,008 Facebook friends. Kulesza wanted to “step out of the prescribed

to play music again and even found a new place of employment. Soon, he will begin teaching at the School of Life. The School of Life, dubbed “an apothecary of the mind,” is a novel educational system that involves focuses on gaining knowledge of the importance of emotional intelligence and culture through the study of philosophy, psychology and visual arts. Facebook has no doubt contributed to making sure its, as of last years
more than 500 million, users stay connected. But, a friendship online cannot replace real face-to-face interaction. According to PsychologyToday.com, 55 percent of communication is body language, 38 percent is the tone of the voice and 7 percent is the actual words spoken. You are missing 93 percent of legitimate communication when your only form of interaction with somebody is through written word.
Communication is important not just because human beings are naturally social creatures. Talking with others can help to alleviate stress, make you smile or plan for the future. Relationships are what drive our individual stories because when all else fails, you can always turn to the immaterial concept of fraternity to catch you. You are never really alone, and it is advantageous to realize that. Our sentience is what forces us to live with our emotions. As humans, we have to deal with them. How we feel is more important than what we do when it really comes down to it. A way to improve that is to interact with others. Friendship can be just what somebody needs to make it through the day. It is crazy to think that the friend somebody could be needing is sitting at their computer or scrolling through their phone right now but will never meet the other person. We need to utilize social media more purposefully because it is a special tool that can bring people closer more easily than has ever been allowed in history. But do not forget to get out of the box a bit. Yell, laugh, cry, have coffee. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Uniontown, Ohio sperm bank controversy leads to racial discussion Molly robinson columnist @dailyathenaeum
Early last week, reports of a lawsuit by lesbian couple Jennifer Cramblett and Amanda Zinkon began popping up in the news. Apparently, they were given the wrong sperm sample that eventually impregnated Cramblett. But the real problem with the mishap does not appear to be that it was the wrong donor; it was that Zinkon and Cramblett, five months pregnant, learned their daughter would not have the blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin of their donor of choice. Instead, she would be half African American. It has been two years since the birth of the couple’s daughter, Payton, and while they maintain that their love for their daughter is unconditional despite her skin color, racial issues have come to light in the years since her birth in their 98 percent white hometown of Uniontown, Ohio. When I first read about this story, my racism radar went crazy. Who did this couple think they were, basing an entire law suit on a skin color? Why was the
DA
focus on the fact that the daughter was born with African American genes, and not the fact that she was simply born with the unintended genes? What about this case made it fall so squarely into the realm of a race issue? But on further investigation, it appears that the issue is, rightly, one of race. For one, the women waited two years to finally make their case against the sperm bank responsible for the mistake. They gave their mixedrace child two years to adjust to the racist town they live in, and the prognosis remains glum for Payton. Cramblett and Zinkon want nothing more than for their daughter to grow up in an area with other children who look like her, where she will not be stigmatized for her race. Unfortunately, they do not have the funds to relocate to a more diverse area, and so they have chosen to file a suit against the sperm bank. Whether we like it or not, there is still racism. While many may feel the couple is racist for complaining about their daughter’s unintentional mixed-race status than simply the mis-

Sure, the world shouldn’t be like this; optimally, no one in Uniontown would care about a little half-black girl in their community.
But this is not the world we live in, and it won’t be for many more years. Thus, Cramblett and Zinkon are not suing the sperm bank solely because of the African American donor mix up, as the headlines may suggest. They are suing the sperm bank because the unintended issues that have
arisen as a result of the mix up have increasingly negative consequences for their daughter. Cramblett and Zinkon are not racist themselves; if they were, they would have sued immediately after the mix up, or even put their daughter up for adoption. Instead they decided to keep their child
and consequently to accept the issues associated with her race status. The couple is not suing because of Payton herself. They are suing for equality. And where else can they turn to other than the bank that caused the issue from the very beginning? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Idol Gives Back features oldies, charity for kids By Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum
Editor’s Note: Hannah Harless is a writer for Arts & Entertainment at The Daily Athenaeum. The annual Mountaineer Idol Gives Back event was held in the Mountainlair ballrooms Friday along with the fourth round of elimination. Donations of stuffed animals were accepted for the organization Jessie’s Pals, and there was a silent auction of several items to contribute to and support the WVU Children’s Hospital. Throughout the collection and auction, CocaCola donated $5 for each can and bottle recycled. Judges for the competition included head judge Shirley Robinson and four others. Professor Daniel Brewster was the first guest judge. Brewster is an 11year faculty member in the department of Sociology and Anthropology and has judged various talent competitions and pageants. Marketing student Anthony Braxton was another guest judge. He is the assistant director of the Mountaineer Maniacs and has
been involved in The Student Government Association the past three years. The third guest judge was Summer Ratcliff, a graduate student who works as an event planner at the Mountainlair and is a co-chair of Mountaineer Week. Miss West Virginia 2014, Paige Madden, returned to judge the competition, which she placed second in last year. Oldies night began when Megan Sydnor sang Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary,” followed by Joseph Leytrick who performed “I Saw Her Standing There,” by The Beatles while playing his guitar. Journalism student Izzy Keim performed “Different Drum,” by Linda Ronstadt. Finishing up the topseven performances, Brandon LeRoy took the stage and performed “Sway,” by Michael Buble, with two back-up dancers. Patrick Garcia sang Etta James’ “At Last,” before Alexa Gonzalez cranked out some high notes in James Brown’s “It’s a Man’s World.” Hannah Harless wrapped up the performances with a guitar version of “Fly Me To the Moon,” by Frank
Sinatra. Host Scott Link and guest co-host Chelsea Malone each performed an oldies song of their own while the judges tallied the scores and auction winners were announced. Moving on to the top-five are Garcia, Gonzalez, Keim, Harless and Leytrick. Braxton has been at each elimination round this year. “This was an awesome performance,” Braxton said. “You have a whole bunch of talented individuals. This was a great experience. Being one of the junior judges, it was a bit intimidating to judge some of your peers, but once people got up there and you felt that presence that they had it just made it easier, it was a beautiful time.” After finding out she was advancing to the top-five, Gonzalez said there were some changes she made to the song while performing. “The night went really well for me,” Gonzalez said. “I added that high note at the end on stage, and I didn’t do that in rehearsal, so I’m really glad that came out well.” Gonzalez said she prepares a lot for the compe-
tition, even while driving. “I practice a lot in my car. I have my auxiliary cord in the car and karaoke on my phone, and if I’m ever driving, I’m singing the song that I’m doing that week. I’m always practicing,” she said. Patrick Shroer, a WVU alumnus, returned to watch the performances and said he used to watch them all as a student here. “They were really awesome, especially Patrick Garcia,” Shroer said. “Honestly it seems like the level of talent has gone up.” Being on the other side of the competition, Madden wrapped up her night of judging with a few thoughts on being able to watch the contestants instead of competing. “I know everyone up there, and it was awesome to see them in their element,” Madden said. “When you’re a competitor, you sit over there on the side, you’re thinking about your own performance, so to get to see your friends perform - it was awesome.” Idol Gives Back raised $365 via its silent auction and $1,000 in conjunction with Coca-Cola during the can drive. Additonally,

It’s no longer safe to go to the circus By Caitlin Worrell A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum
Wednesday night, FX’s hit series “American Horror Story” will return to the screen. This season, entitled “Freak Show,” is a change from previous seasons as it draws on many people’s worst fear: clowns. The show tells the story of one of the last remaining freak shows in the country. Set in Jupiter, Fla., the odd circus is struggling to keep its show afloat in the 1950s. It features characters with strange qualities, reprising classic freak roles and creating even creepier new ones. The show is in its fourth season and has once again expanded its cast for an allnew horrifying experience. Newcomers Michael Chiklis will play an infamous strongman. John Carroll Lynch will play Twisty the Clown. Finn Wittrock makes his debut as Dandy, a seemingly normal guy who feels
the freak show is the only place he belongs. Wes Bentley will also appear in the new season, playing the role of Edward Mordrake, the man with two faces. Fans can look forward to an appearance from some “extra-ordinary” characters showing off their freakish physical quirks. Jyoti Amge holds the Guinness World Record as the smallest woman and will play off her own physical differences on the upcoming season. Rose Siggins will make her acting debut, filling the role of Legless Suzi. The actress, who had her legs amputated as a child, said she hopes her character sheds a more positive light on people who look different. Mat Fraser, who suffers from the rare condition Phocomelia, will play Paul the Illustrated Seal. Fraser, an actor and musician with severely malformed limbs, said he finds his physical appearance an advantage in creating an authentic performance, and that

‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ will feature clowns as a source of terror. in no way is a setback in his career. As expected, we will also see the return of the tradi-
tional “AHS” cast. Jessica Lange will once again be fulfilling a lead role as the owner and operator of the
struggling freak show, Elsa Mars. This will be Lange’s last season as a recurring cast member. Back by popular demand is Kathy Bates playing bearded lady Ethel Darling and Angela Basset as the three-breasted spectacle, Desiree Dupree. Another long-time cast member will return for an even more unusual role. Playing conjoined twin sisters Bette and Dot Tattler, Sarah Paulson will take on the challenge of a double role. The show utilized a multitude of visual tools and enhancements to create a two-headed illusion for the actress. Other usual suspects include Evan Peters, playing a heartthrob with lobster-like hand deformities, Jimmy Darling. Dennis O’Hare returns as Stanley this season. Although details of his character have remained tight-lipped, we do have reason to believe he may be a con artist. Emma Roberts will fill her role as sultry fortune teller Maggie
Esmerelda. Worried for her son’s fate, Francis Conroy will also return to the series as Dandy’s mother. Although most of Freak Show’s plotline has been kept under wraps, the show’s creator Ryan Murphy has spilled details on one aspect of the season. Murphy especially wanted to highlight the classic clown phobia to add an extra horrifying element for fans. In recent interviews, Murphy has noted that he intended for Lynch’s character to be one of the scariest clowns ever created. “He’s out to make their lives a living hell,” said Murphy in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “He’s wearing a mask on the lower half of his face and there comes a point in the season where he takes the mask off. When you see what’s under you will faint with terror.” Freak Show premieres 10 p.m. Wednesday on FX. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu
Fan favorites return to television ‘The Vampire Diaries’ “The Vampire Diaries” ended its fifth season with Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Bonnie (Kat Graham) being stuck behind the Other Side, which crumbled and disappeared forever – or so we thought. The return to the world of Mystic Falls and the surrounding area was unfamiliar and solemn. The group is completely disconnected and everyone is going in different directions as they try to make sense of the new circumstances thrust upon them. Alaric (Matthew Davis), who came back to life in last season’s premiere, is teaching at Elena’s (Nina Dobrev) school. Stefan (Paul Wesley) has given up all hope and halted the search for a spell to remake the Other Side. Caroline (Candice Accola) is skulking around the borders of Mystic Falls, since magic is not allowed within the borders, spending time with her mom and trying to find a way to get everyone together again. Tyler (Michael Trevino) is acclimating to life as a human. The most shocking character transformations are present within Elena, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig). Elena has become ad-
dicted to an ancient herbal substance that allows her to see her dead boyfriend, Damon, and interact with him as a hallucination. She hasn’t let it sink it that she will never see him again. Moments with Elena were severely emotional and well-written. Her brother, Jeremy, who also lost his significant other Bonnie, has taken to a life of alcoholism, sex and X-box. Matt has grown immensely as a character. After all he has been through, he is using his knowledge to help people while still being loyal to his friends. He is part of the community’s protection team, preparing for a time when magic corrupts his town once again. At the end, we see Damon and Bonnie dining together somewhere, giving us hope that normalcy can eventually be restored. Much of the season will likely be spent finding a way to rekindle the spark that solidified the group’s relationship in the past. “The Vampire Diaries” airs 8 p.m. Thursdays on the CW. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

‘Criminal Minds’
Jennifer Love-Hewitt joins the cast of ‘Criminal Minds.’ Last year’s “Criminal Minds” season finale left the door wide open for the season 10 premiere, which aired Wednesday. The last episode of season 9 only left one running thread to connect it to season 10; a character seemed to have left the show. That character, Alex Blake (Jeanne Tripplehorn) did leave and took a job as a full-time teacher in Boston. Her replacement, Kate Callahan (Jennifer Love Hewitt), kicked off the new season with a scene of her undercover work and instantly getting a job with the bureau. The premiere episode, while not as incredible as the season closer, sets up a promising continuation of the hit show. I’ve been waiting for Tripplehorn to leave the show ever since she started, so to say I’m stoked for LoveHewitt is an understatement. Tripplehorn always felt like an actor playing the
hawtcelebs.com
part of a criminologist. Plus, her character was never fully developed, had a set personality or really played a key role in most episode’s plots. She’s gone, and I don’t mind. Luckily, Hewitt’s character already has a quietly spunky personality. Not one quite as defined as other character’s, but I can definitely tell that she’s much more entertaining, and will add a certain flair to the team. The opening scene made her look like a total badass, and while the first episode was a little awkward for her character, it came across as realistic. Most first meetings are strange, but Hewitt’s character definitely adds a great mind to the already awesome team.

West Virginia comes away with victory over Jayhawks despite sluggish performance, mental errors By Connor Murray Sports Editor @ConnorKMurray
After struggling to find a finishing touch on its first three drives, the West Virginia offense kicked the door in on a 63-yard touchdown strike from Clint Trickett to Kevin White and never looked back, routing the visiting Kansas Jayhawks 33-14. West Virginia’s defense made the Jayhawk offense look inept as ever, forcing them to punt on their first 10 possessions of the game. It wasn’t until a muffed punt by Jordan Thompson set them up with prime field position that the Jayhawks were able to find pay dirt for the first time. The game was well in hand for the Mountaineers at that point, and the outcome was completely guaranteed when Mario Alford took the ensuing kickoff 94 yards to the end zone for his second return
touchdown of the year. With the win the Mountaineers move to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big 12, while securing a measure of revenge for an embarrassing road loss to the Jayhawks last season. “I thought it was a good team win tonight. We’re in a much better spot than we were last year. I was pleased with the way the guys played for four quarters,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. Although they amassed 557 yards of total offense, the Mountaineers let some scoring opportunities go by the wayside. West Virginia had to settle for field goals on its first three drives of the game and struggled once the field tightened when they entered Jayhawk territory. “You’ve got to give Kansas some credit, especially defensively. They’re frustrating. They play hard on all three sides of the ball and just make it challenging to be able to run them
out of the stadium,” Holgorsen said. “The way we started, we moved the ball well. We just had a tough time finishing drives.” While the offense was unable to put it all together at times, West Virginia’s defense had no such trouble. Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson’s group took some heat after the first four games of the season, but forced a Mountaineer Field record 14 punts against the Jayhawks in a dominating effort from start to finish. “Our defense can’t say enough about the performance that they put out there. Forcing them to punt 14 times is amazing,” Holgorsen said. Despite forcing all those punts, the Mountaineers let some opportunities for turnovers slip through their fingers. “That (punt) number would probably go down a little bit if we were able to force a turnover now and

Plenty for WVU to clean up heading into Week 7 road trip to Lubbock By Anthony Pecoraro Associate Sports Editor @PecoraroWVUNews
Although West Virginia registered a victory against Kansas Saturday, much frustration was shown from players and coaches alike following the Mountaineers third win in 2014. Now standing at 3-2 and having Texas Tech up next, much improvement is needed heading into Week 7, which head coach Dana Holgorsen made clear following the game. “I was excited how we were moving the ball. We just didn’t finish drives very good,” Holgorsen said. “Then it got frustrating in the second half, and it probably has a little bit to do with them being a pretty good dang defense.” Though Holgorsen said his team was prepared for KU’s defense entering Saturday’s game, there were many wasted opportunities in the Mountaineers’ “ugly win,” according to redshirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett, who had his worst game of the season
statistically, finishing with a season-low 20 completions, a touchdown and one interception. Between junior Jordan Thompson’s late third quarter muffed punt return that resulted in the KU offense taking over at the WVU 18yard line, to senior wide receiver Kevin White only having six receptions all game – a season low for him – frustration was not hard to find. Holgorsen said although Thompson disappointed the team Saturday on his punt returns, there’s nobody else for the Mountaineers to return punts for them right now – an issue that needs to be solved quickly moving into Week 7. “If we had more people we liked, we’d probably put them in there,” he said. “Catching punts is not the easiest thing that you do in football, it’s probably the hardest thing that has to happen. We feel like Jordan gives us the best option, (but we’re) extremely disappointed in what we saw tonight.” White, who now stands
as the No. 1 receiver in the nation with 765 receiving yards on the season, said having that accolade is not what he’s concerned about right now and knows what he needs to fix moving forward to next week. “I’m kind of pissed off about (Saturday’s) performance,” he said. “I did have a bad game, but I’ll try to work on it and have a better game next week. Everything that came to me I should have caught – should have made a lot more plays.” As the Mountaineers attempt to fix the array of issues they discussed after the game, Holgorsen said with the Red Raiders up next for them, preparing for that game will take on a completely different mindset. “Next week’s going to be a whole different deal, they’re going to throw the ball all over the place, and we’re going to have to get guys in position that are able to get to the quarterback,” he said. anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

Iowa State hands WVU second-straight loss
Sophomore outside hitter Jordan Anderson rises up to meet the ball during West Virginia’s loss to Texas earlier this season.
by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia University volleyball team dropped its match against Iowa State this weekend, 3-1, in Ames, Iowa. WVU finished with set scores of 25-21, 18-25, 17-25 and 16-25. In an interview with WVUSports.com, coach Jill Kramer said the Mountaineers were looking good to start out but continued to fall. “I was really happy with the way our team came out in set one,” Kramer said. “We had great energy, despite being down early, and fought back to take it. As the match progressed, our serving and passing digressed and allowed Iowa State to stay in the system too often. We’ll get back in the gym on Monday to work out some kinks there.”
WVU, now 11-6, 1-2 Big 12, was coming off a loss at Marshall last week, and they improved on their blocking, posting 9.5 against the Cyclones, but it was not enough. Hannah Shreve contributed five blocks, Jordan Anderson put up two solo blocks and a pair of block assists as well. Adding on to the effort, Nikki Attea, Caleah Wells, Lamprini Konstantinidou and Hannah Sackett each recorded two block assists. Anderson finished with a team best 15 kills and nine digs, one short of a doubledouble. This is the 20th time within 47 occasions she has recorded ten or more kills in a match. Following Anderson, Attea had 13 kills hitting for a team best clip of .414. Sackett found the court six times, and Wells also added five kills. Attea also was just shy of a double-double with nine digs.
WVU hit .148 with 45 total kills, with help from setter Konstantinidou, who recorded 41 assists in the match and had the only serving ace of the game. Four members of the team, including Anderson and Attea, tied to lead the team with nine digs a piece. Anna Panagiotakopoulos had nine digs with an assist and Gianna Gotterba, at libero, had nine digs and three assists. On the Cyclones side of the net, Victoria Hurt put down 20 kills helping their hitting percentage of .299. Hurt hit .340 and also added two solo blocks. Caitlin Nolan had 25 digs, and setter Suzanne Horner put up a career-high 56 assists and four block assists. In the first set, the Mountaineers came out under, but both teams were keeping things close until the Cyclones
Andrew Spellman/The Daily Athenaeum
took a 13-10 lead. Later in the set, WVU scored three straight points finally giving them a 20-19 lead and finished with five unanswered points after an Iowa State score, to take the set 25-21. Set two got underway and the Cyclones hit .257, which the Mountaineers could not stop. Iowa State had a 6-0 run giving them a 13-7 lead, to which WVU responded with four points in a row and cut the score to 13-11. The Cyclones continued to dominate and looked like they might take the set with the score at 22-17 when Anderson had a kill to close the gap to 22-18. WVU was not able to score again though, while Iowa State took the three final points and the set, 25-18. The third set started with the Cyclones strong as well, hitting .500 on the set with 22
kills, compared to the Mountaineers who had nine. With an early Iowa State lead of 7-3, West Virginia fought back and cut the deficit to 8-7, before they let the Cyclones take a lead of 14-11 again. Down three, the Mountaineers rallied for four straight points tying the set at 14-14, followed by the Cyclones taking a 21-16 lead. They continued to score with four straight kills, taking the set 25-17. The Mountaineers hit for a .108 clip in the fourth set, but could not keep up as Iowa State continued on to take a 21-13 lead. Two errors from the WVU side of the net and the Cyclones won the set 25-16. This week, the Mountaineers play at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Coliseum against Oklahoma. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
Swimming & Diving
WVU opens season with Gold-Blue meet By David Statman Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum
The WVU swimming and diving team began its 201415 season with the intrasquad Gold-Blue Meet Friday. The meet ended with a close win by the Gold team, 288-277. The meet saw the WVU team divided up into two squads in an exhibition competition that also served as a chance for coaches to get a look at the fitness of the athletes and evaluate the 21 freshmen joining the program. “Today was to kind of see where they’re at because they come in with times but never know really what they can do, so this meet shows the coaches they can do and it shows us what they can do,” said senior swimmer Tim Squires. One of the highlights of
the meet was when Squires broke the pool record for the 100-yard freestyle, swimming a time of 44.92 as the first leg of the mixed 300-yard freestyle relay at the end of the meet. The previous record was 45.12, set by Jake Lucas of Pitt. Squires also won the 50-meter freestyle event, finishing .3 seconds off the pool record. “We had some really good highlights today. Obviously, Tim breaking the pool record is a great way for us to start our season,” said head coach Vic Riggs. The meet saw strong performances from some of the program’s newcomers. Freshman Pierce Bradshaw, a native of Charlotte, N.C., claimed first place finishes in the 1,000yard freestyle and the 300yard freestyle. Bradshaw is a member of the United States Junior National
Open Water Team, and recently competed at the FINA World Junior Open Water Swimming Championship in Hungary. On the women’s side, sophomore Emma Skelley won the 1,000-yard and 300-yard freestyle events. Senior Julie Ogden was also victorious in multiple events, winning the 100yard individual medley and the 200-yard butterfly, while sophomore Jaimee Gillmore swept the women’s 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle. Freshman Chris McMahon scored a victory in the men’s 200-yard freestyle, while freshmen Madeline Bolin, Amelie Currat, Sammie Guay and Celia Martinez de la Torre all won events on the women’s side. In the diving competition, senior Haily VandePoel won the women’s

Coach Vic Riggs said the event was tougher for some than expected. “I enjoyed watching the kids compete this afternoon. It looked like a lot of fun. A couple kids had some really tough doubles
and triples, but coaches always have a way of making a workout out of something fun,” he said. The Mountaineers will begin their season in earnest next weekend, competing at the West Virginia State Games hosted by Marshall University in Huntington, W. Va. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
DILLON DURST SPORTS WRITER @DailyAthenaeum
WVU run defense stepped up Saturday In its most impressive effort since the Towson game, West Virginia’s defense held Kansas to 176 yards of total offense and forced the Jayhawks to punt a Big 12 record 14 times. For the first time this season, the Mountaineers’ defense appeared to outplay the offense, No. 10 nationally in total offense. Head coach Dana Holgorsen said after the game that the defense achieved its goal of playing a better second half than the first half. After getting gashed for over 300 rushing yards by Oklahoma two weeks ago, West Virginia’s defense was able to recuperate during its bye week and held Kansas’ ground attack 65 total yards and 1.9 yards per rush. “I thought our rush defense was great … We didn’t give up a big play, which is awesome,” Holgorsen said. “I thought we tackled well and played with high-effort and highenergy. I thought that was pretty good defensive football. I was happy with the way it ended.” Through the first four games of the season, West Virginia’s pass defense had been doing well, but the stopping of the run was a major issue. Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said the bye week allowed the Mountaineers to clean up some reoccurring mistakes. “In the open week we fixed some things that we thought needed fixed. I thought our linebackers and defensive line played much more physical tonight,” Gibson said. Heading into Saturday’s matchup, both of Kansas’ running backs had over 250 rushing yards and the Jayhawks’ rushing attack was averaging right around 200 yards per game. I mentioned after the Oklahoma game that the Mountaineers’ rush defense needed to step up in order to be successful in the Big 12, and I believe it did Saturday night. West Virginia also made an intriguing personnel change in moving top pass rusher Brandon Golson from linebacker down to defensive end. Holgorsen said the move was to allow Golson to be in position to get a better pass rush on the quarterback, and although he didn’t register any sacks Saturday, he was able to disrupt and pressure quarterback Montell Cozart several times. Holgorsen mentioned after the game that playing a spread team like Kansas allowed athletic pass rushers like Shaq Riddick and Edward Muldrow to earn more playing time, which will only help in their development moving forward. Although Kansas has been a lower tier Big 12 team for quite some time now, the Mountaineers’ win over the Jayhawks will go a long way in establishing momentum taking on the brunt of their remaining Big 12 schedule. West Virginia goes on the road next week to face a Texas Tech team the Mountaineers haven’t beaten since their relocation to the Big 12. Although the Red Raiders’ running back DeAndre Washington has rushed for 326 yards through five games, West Virginia’s pass defense will need to continue to play at a high level against a wellcoached Air Raid offense. Lubbock, Texas is no easy place to play, but I hope for the Mountaineers to finally earn a win over the Red Raiders on their home turf. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia shuts out Duquesne at home Sunday by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum
West Virginia struck down the Duquesne Dukes last evening with a convincing 3-0 win. West Virginia improves to 6-5 on the season and 5-2 when playing at home. West Virginia dominated all statistical categories including outshooting the Dukes 24-10, a 17-3 advantage in shots on goal and an 11-3 advantage on corner kicks. Duquesne started out quickly getting a header from Kadeem Pantophlet, but the ball hit off the post. After
the Dukes’ first chance, the Mountaineers started to create their own opportunities. Zak Leedom took the ball deep in Duquesne territory, and passed to Jamie Merriam who just missed his header opportunity wide. The pressure from the Mountaineers remained high when Joey Piatczyc shot from point blank range, but Sam Frymier made the save to hold the score at 0-0. West Virginia continued to roll out the scoring chances in the first half, but they could not capitalize for the majority of the first half. Zak Leedom, Andy Bevin and Merriam all had chances to score in the first 33 minutes,
but none of their shots found the back of the net. However, the Mountaineers kept the pressure high and their chance turned into a golden opportunity in the 34th minute. Bevin broke away from the defense and was tripped in the box by Mamadou Traore. Traore was issued a red card and Bevin was awarded the penalty kick, which he buried to give the Mountaineers a 1-0 lead. Duquesne kept its physicality level high throughout the rest of the first half, but could not turn it into scoring chances. Merriam had two more shots in the first half for West Virginia, but was
unable to capitalize, leaving the halftime score at 1-0. Despite the Dukes’ physicality, they could not translate it into any scoring opportunities and they surrendered their chances to the Mountaineers. The Mountaineers kept shooting the ball into the second half, but their chances were missing. Ryan Cain shot from point blank range, but the ball sailed too high. However, Jamie Merriam was not going to be denied any longer. Merriam, who took more shots on goal than the Dukes combined, finished on a pass from Alex Ochoa. The Mountaineers’
second goal of the game came at the 69:27 mark and left Duquesne looking for answers. West Virginia continued its masterful shooting throughout the rest of the second. Ryan Cain missed on two more shots and Andy Bevin missed on a good free kick chance. The missed West Virginia chances were in large part due to the play of Duquesne’s keeper Sam Frymier, who continually saved shots throughout the night, racking up 13 total saves. Duquesne had its best chance of the second half with just over 10 minutes to play, but again fell short.
The Mountaineers added a late goal on a nifty play by Jad Arslan. Arslan broke away from the kick and swerved around the keeper and put home the Mountaineers’ third goal of the game, bringing the final score to 3-0. This was the first time Duquesne gave up more than 2 goals in a game, but they still remain winless on the road this season. West Virginia will open MAC play this coming week when the Mountaineers travel to Northern Illinois to take on the Huskies at 8 p.m. Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mississippi tie: Rebels and Bulldogs 3rd in AP poll
AP
Mississippi State wide receiver Fred Brown, No. 5, leaps for joy after scoring a touchdown Saturday. STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) – Mississippi’s Southeastern Conference teams have never been this good and this close. Ole Miss and Mississippi State are tied for third in The Associated Press college football poll after a wild day of unexpected results brought major changes to the Top 25. Just about the only thing that didn’t change this
week was No. 1: Florida State is still top-ranked, with 35 first-place votes. Auburn, the only other team in the top six to win, moved up three spots to No. 2 and received 23 first-place votes. Then came Ole Miss and Mississippi State, in the top five together for the first time after the Rebels beat Alabama and the Bulldogs beat Texas A&M on Saturday.
The Bulldogs received two first-place votes. The Rebels haven’t been ranked this high since 1963, when they also were No. 3 and won their last SEC title. The Bulldogs have their best ranking ever. Their previous best was No. 7 in 1981 and their only SEC championship came in 1941. Between them, the Rebels and Bulldogs have won the SEC West just twice
since the league split into two divisions in 1992. “You’ve never arrived, but I think we’ve changed the culture,� Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said Sunday. “And that was the goal coming in here, was we wanted to change the culture.� Baylor rounds out the top five and Notre Dame is No. 6.

burn, Baylor, Ole Miss and Notre Dame in the top five. Mississippi State was sixth. For the second time in the 78-year history of the AP poll, four of the top six teams lost and for the first time five of the top eight teams went down in a single regular-season week. The top-eight teams to lose and poll reaction: —Oregon dropped 10 spots after losing 31-24 at home to Arizona on Thursday night. The Wildcats went from unranked to No. 10, the biggest jump into the poll since the rankings went to a 25 teams in 1989. The previous best was No. 13 Iowa on Sept. 27, 2009. –Alabama dropped four spots to No. 7. –Oklahoma dropped seven spots to No. 11 after losing to TCU. The Horned
Frogs moved up 16 spots to No. 9. They play at Baylor next week. –Texas A&M dropped eight spots to No. 14. –UCL A dropped 10 spots to No. 18 after losing 30-28 at home to Utah. The Utes moved into the rankings at No. 24. Arizona State moved back into the Top 25 at No. 20 after beating Southern California 38-34 on a Hail Mary. Unbeaten Georgia Tech moved into the rankings for the first time this season at No. 23. USC, LSU, BYU and Wisconsin all dropped out of the rankings after losses. LSU, which lost 41-7 to Auburn, had its streak of 87 straight poll appearances snapped. It was the second-longest active streak behind Alabama, which is up to 105 in a row.

Peyton Manning throws 500th career touchdown pass DENVER (AP) – Peyton Manning has thrown his 500th career touchdown pass, joining Brett Favre as the only members of the exclusive club. Manning threw a 7-yard dart to tight end Julius Thomas to give Denver a 7-3 lead over Arizona in the first quarter Sunday. Thomas has caught six of Manning’s nine TD throws this season. Manning reached the mark in his 244th career regular season game, 49 fewer games than it took Favre. It was Manning’s 101st TD pass since coming to Denver in 2012 following his tearful goodbye in Indianapolis, where he played his first 13 NFL seasons before sitting out all of 2011 following neck fusion surgery. Manning figures to surpass Favre’s record of 508
TD throws later this month. As he approached the milestone, Manning acknowledged that, yes, he looks at his TD throws and interceptions ever year. If the former is high and the latter low, “that means you’re getting your team in the end zone and ... you’re protecting the ball,� which in turn, “usually leads to winning.� His touchstone touchdown came against two of his mentors: Arizona coach Bruce Arians and Cardinals assistant head coach Tom Moore. Arians was Manning’s first position coach in 1998 and Moore was his offensive coordinator during his entire time in Indy. Manning’s first TD toss in a Broncos uniform was the 400th of his career and it came on a 71-yard screen pass to Demaryius Thomas.
