SGA takes criticism, hopes to improve Alexis Randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

This Wednesday’s weekly Student Government Association meeting marked the halfway point for this term of the West Virginia University SGA. The group discussed the Pointing Out Professor Pairs Project (P40) presented by student Anas Koshak, as well as hosted a

discussion on the LiveSafe sapplication by University Police Chief Bob Roberts.

Throughout the meeting, there were pushes from several members of the group for more participation in projects the organization is currently active in, such as the Homecoming elections and the Gold Rush T-shirt sale.

Daniel Brewster, professor of sociology and advisor for SGA, said he would

like to see more effort from the group as a whole.

“This group, with SGA, has so few governors’ reports. It’s again like every single week nothing (happens),” he said. “Something has to be done.

Students prepare for return of annual Beard Shaving Competition by laura haight and christie carroza DA STAFF @dailyathenaeum

The annual beard shaving competition hosted by Mountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia and the 2014 Miss West Virginia Paige Madden was held Wednesday in the Mountainlair.

An estimated 40 students gathered to display their beard growing ability by shaving their face clean in hopes that in five weeks, their beard lands them first place in the event.

Contestants began lining up beside the stage which held a barber shop pole, and contestants would step on to the stage where they found shaving cream, razors, a water bowl and mirror to rid themselves of their facial hair.

The tradition of the beard Nick Holstein/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM shaving competition was inContestants shave clean to start competing in the beard growing competition. They spired by “West Virginia’s anwill not shave again until the competition is over a month from now. cestral culture” according to Sonja Wilson, Mountaineer Week advisor. Men going out hunting during frigid climates generally grow out their beard, trying to conceal warmth from cool mountain air.

Brady Nolan, the beard shaving competition coordinator said the event brings students together.

“I just think that it’s cool because it’s tradition for the Mountaineer to grow the beard, so you’ve carried on that tradition even though you’re not the Mountaineer, Nick Holstein/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM you’re a mountaineer by beThe Mountaineer, Michael Garcia, and Miss West Virginia Paige Madden kick off ing a student here at WVU,” the beard growing contest.

Nolan said.

The tradition of the beard growing competition died out for a while but has taken place every year since 1988.

“It also gives guys bragging rights to say they’re the hairiest man on campus,” Nolan said.

However, they both agree this event is purely based on tradition and epitomizes what being a Mountaineer is really all about.

Brian Bills, a senior business administration student, said he participated in the competition on a whim after his girlfriend convinced him to sign up.

“Today was the hardest part,” Bills said. “For those of us who did have a little bit of a beard already, getting rid of it was not the easiest thing, especially standing in front of everybody in the Mountainlair.”

On Wednesday, Oct. 29, contestants will return to be judged by faculty staff on who grew the best beard. First place will be rewarded $100, second place will take $75, and third will be given $50.

“I’m definitely looking forward to Oct. 29 when they announce the winners and see how everyone’s facial hair grew in,” Bills said.

Bills said if he wins the competition, he will use the money to buy new WVU gear and take his girlfriend out to dinner.

Experiences of female veterans highlighted

By Courtney Gatto Correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Diversity Week has highlighted many groups of people, some that are often overlooked.

This year, they have shined light on one group of people who are not often the center of attention at WVU or other universities: female student veterans.

Through the help of careful research and planning, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is creating a strategy to make the WVU campus a more accepting place that understands the difficulties of being a female student veteran and thrives to preserve the future for women veterans who are returning to college.

“The reason why (we are looking into this strategy) is because we know women veterans are the fastest growing group in the VA itself and also the fastest growing group in the military,” said Gina M. Maiocco, assistant clinical professor and veteran.

Maiocco has conducted a great deal of research on women veterans and has found beneficial information, not just for WVU, but for other institutions with the same lack of empathy.

“It is very important for us to identify what exactly they’re experiencing during their roles while serving in the military in relation to combat, issues of sexual harassment and military sexual trauma, but also the environment of the military,” Maiocco said.

“It’s our chance to understand the experiences as far as reintegration, meaning coming back into the community.”

The study involved eight women, all of whom were veterans that have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, have retired or are active in the reserves, are currently enrolled or previously attended college after their time at war.

All participants were over 18 years of age and had to sign consent. The process involved two interviews: one before to gather information and one after to validate it.

Maiocco described the findings as remarkable.

All of the subjects were able to relate to several similar themes when dealing with their experience of going back to school, one of the most prominent being a neverending remembrance of war.

“We had a woman that stated the first thing they did when she got to Afghanistan was hand her

Sign-ups for October’s 67th Mountaineer Week challenge end Friday by alexa mcclennen correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Sign-ups for West Virginia University’s 67th annual Mountaineer Week game challenge are coming to an end Friday. Greek life, student organizations, residence halls and groups of friends are all encouraged to participate.

“It is a really neat opportunity for students because this is the 67th year for Mountaineer Week at WVU, and it is a celebration of our Appalachian heritage,” said Summer Ratcliff, co-chair for Mountaineer Week.

“When you come to WVU, whether you are from West Virginia or not, you get adopted into the Appalachian mindset.”

While Mountaineer Week does not kick off until Oct. 24, events will be running all month for teams and organizations to attend and earn points.

Points will be awarded throughout the month for attending and participating in Mountaineer Weekbased events. Each team must have at least four

members to sign up.

The first challenge event will kick off tomorrow from noon-8 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballroom where teams will drop off stuffed animals for the stuffed animal drive to benefit the WVU Children’s Hospital.

The team with the most stuffed animals will gain 100 points, second place will receive 75 points and third will get 50 points. Every team that participates gets at least 25 points per event. A similar system will be in place for all of the events.

Other events will include the annual PRT cram, a photo contest, challenge games on the Moutainlair green, a WVU related scavenger hunt around campus, a pie eating contest and dance-off contest with the Chick-FilA cow.

Bob Huggins will also hold his annual threeon-three basketball tournament Oct. 28-30. Each team must sign up by Friday Oct. 24 and registration costs $20 per team. All benefits will go to support the Norma Mae Huggins

Mountaineer Week will conclude on Sunday Nov. 2 with the Mountaineer Idol Finale. Winners will be chosen based off of total points earned throughout the challenge. The top Greek life organization, student organization and residence hall winners will receive a trophy.

While every year Mountaineer Week is designed to celebrate Appalachian heritage, this year’s main focus is the celebration of Appalachian music.

Many students and Greek organizations included have already signed up to participate in this year’s challenge.

“Participating in Mountaineer Week has made all of us within the sorority grow closer and brought Greek organizations (together) as a whole,” said Jess Taylor, a sister of Delta Gamma, who has signed up to participate.

While turn out was low for last year’s Mountaineer Week, this year’s event organizers have used social media, flyers and word-

College of Law hosts Experience WVU Law Day bY alyssa lazar staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University College of Law will host an open house event for all prospective law students tomorrow.

The event, called Experience WVU Law Day, will be held at the College of Law’s campus. It will be begin at approximately 9:30 a.m. and end around 1:00 p.m.

The agenda for the day includes presentations about the admissions process, the academic atmosphere and student life.

Participants can choose to sit in on a law school Torts 1 class. Participants can also receive a tour of the facility and talk to professors and law students.

“Experience WVU Law Day is supposed to give you a glimpse into the law school experience.

We tried to provide ses-

sions for those just thinking about law school and for those that are ready to apply,” said Tina Jernigan, director of admissions for the College of Law. “If they have questions about the admissions process, they can ask them at the event.

It gives these students a feel for WVU law school.”

At the event, Gregory Bowman, the interim dean and professor of law at the College of Law, will welcome all participants.

Following the welcome, participants can choose between three concurrent sessions about applying to law school or what it is like to be a student.

Jernigan will speak about the application process and how to apply for law school. The Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, John Taylor, will speak about academic programs and offerings, and the Assistant Dean of Student Af-

fairs, Janet Armistead, will speak about student life.

Among the sessions that are designed to help prospective law students, participants are also able to sit in on a first-year law school student class. It will not be a mock class, so participants can receive a realistic perspective of an authentic law school class.

Tours will also be given of the law school facilities, where participants can ask questions and engage with their guide one-on-one.

Online registration for the event is now closed, but continues to remain open via phone.

“Right now, we have participants who are ranging from age 18, so college freshmen, all the way to age 64, people who are looking at second careers,” Jernigan said.

The staff at the WVU College of Law is thrilled

law.wvu.edu

to put on this event for the first time.

“Our area of expertise is individual visits; we love to give students whatever they want and a day focused on them,” Jernigan said. “But we also know that not everyone wants that and instead wants an overall view. We planned this day for anyone.”

It is not a coincidence that the event was planned

in conjunction with West Vi rg i n i a Un i ve r s i t y ’s Homecoming Weekend.

“It is hard to beat Homecoming at WVU. If alumni are in town, they can bring their kids up and visit the law school,” Jernigan said.

The environment that participants will experience Friday will be entirely with their interests in mind.

“It gives students a re-

laxed environment for them to get a lot of information and make it easier for them to get that,” Jernigan said. “We’re here to help and assist them through this process. This is a great place to begin their career.”

W.Va. high court to let GOP fill House ballot slot CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — In a rebuke to state election officials, the West Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Kanawha County Republicans can fill an empty ballot slot for a House of Delegates seat.

After oral arguments Tuesday, the court’s unanimous ruling lets Marie Sprouse-McDavid fill the slot on the ballot left when GOP Del. Suzette Raines dropped her re-election bid.

The court sharply criticized Secretary of State Natalie Tennant and the state Election Commission for allowing Raines to withdraw, but then denying a GOP request to fill her ballot vacancy.

Reprinting ballots could cost at least $25,000, Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick has told the Charleston Daily Mail.

Military and overseas ballots have already been printed and mailed, the court wrote.

“The practical effect of the Commission and Secretary Tennant’s abject failure to be knowledgeable of and to comply with this State’s election laws has serious consequences,” the court said in its ruling.

The court’s decision says state election law requires election commissioners to allow a replacement once they let someone withdraw from the ballot.

The decision also says officials ignored a 22-year-old state Supreme Court ruling that arose under similar circumstances.

In 1992, the Election Commission rejected a Republican request to replace a candidate for the 2nd Congressional District. The

candidate said he withdrew because of personal family commitments.

The Supreme Court overturned the decision, saying law relating to ballot vacancies “should be liberally construed in order to serve the legislative policy of providing a full selection of candidates for the voters.”

Tennant spokeswoman Amber Epling said the secretary of state’s office will absorb the cost of reprinting ballots, and assured it wouldn’t cost more to taxpayers.

“The Secretary of State’s Office will work with the (State Election Commission) and the Kanawha County Clerk to get ballots reprinted quickly and notify all voters whose ballots have already gone out that a new ballot is on its way,” Epling said via email.

Sprouse-McDavid and the Kanawha County Reebrate that,” Ratcliff said.

publican Executive Committee targeted Tennant, the commission and its members in the challenge.

In August, election commissioners denied Republicans’ request to fill the 35th District ballot vacancy after Raines withdrew. They said her extenuating circumstances didn’t suffice to allow a replacement candidate.

Raines said she needed time to heal after her mother’s death in March and the end of her engagement.

She’s completing her term.

On Wednesday, the state Republican Party called the high court’s decision a win against a “frivolous and embarrassing election challenge.”

Before Raines withdrew, state Democrats sued her,

alleging she doesn’t live where she claims and hasn’t filed or signed certain paperwork.

“This process was brought on because a Republican delegate failed to comply with the law and the Republican Party tried to cover for her,” state Democratic Party Chairman Larry Puccio said via email.

The back-and-forth

comes during a heated election season, in which Republicans are pursuing their first House majority in about 85 years. Democrats hold a six-seat advantage, and all 100 seats are in play this election.

Sprouse McDavid finished fifth in the 35th District Republican primary.

The district elects four delegates.

everyone, a lot of you wearing the Gold Rush T-shirts, but I’ve been around every day, and I haven’t seen a lot of people, on both sides – the executive and legislative branch, participating in that. It is just very disappointing.”

Brewster also commented on the lack of support for the Homecoming elections, after members of the BOG passed a resolution to support the right for students to vote.

Brewster said there have been concerns brought to him from members within the organization.

“Just speaking with several of the governors and some of the members of the executive (board), I’m just kind of concerned about the productivity of some

and maybe the lack of productivity of others,” Brewster said. “As the advisor of the organization, I felt like it was my responsibility to bring them to task and to hold them somewhat accountable for their job.”

SGA President Chris Nyden said he feels responsible for the lack of reports and responses from members of the organization as a whole.

“I think that in many ways I have perhaps failed as a leader, and I take that upon myself in terms of other people in the organization not always giving reports each week,” Nyden said. “There is always this higher level we need to take ourselves to. We need to uphold high standards for the rest of SGA, and I think

that is something we are going to take very seriously for the rest of the year.”

While Nyden said he felt Brewster’s tone was appropriate, he chose to look at the situation in a more positive light.

“I am not nearly as negative. I think people have made strides so far, and we just need to keep pushing and accelerate our progress for the rest of the year,” he said. “I think that we are doing a good job in terms of outreach, but we could certainly communicate a lot better as an organization and that is where a lot of our future progress will stand.”

near a whistle. A neverending remembrance of war.”

It is these memories and experiences that make it hard for the veterans to return to school. They are easily distracted and hyper vigilant. They also experience much insensitivity from instructors and students alike, resulting in isolation.

To try and put a stop to these issues and help with the transition from war zone to classroom, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is developing a program that WVU

plans to implement by the beginning of the spring semester.

By identifying the specific problems that need resolved, it has developed the Green Zone Project, a training program for faculty and staff at WVU so they can become aware of the needs of veterans.

The program also includes a group of people known as “Green Zone Allies” to aid in this transistion.

“Green Zone Allies are going to be the go-to people on campus that will be able to provide resources

and support for our veteran students and faculty.

Participants will become familiar with the military experience and the emotional cycle of deployment,” said Jill Hess, an accessibility specialist at the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

The Green Zone Allies role is to be supportive, to understand military difficulties and to be a sympathetic ear for student veterans.

Laura Bowen, a geology student and female student veteran, said she understands these struggles and realizes the need for a program such as the Green Zone Project. While in the service, she was sexually assaulted.

“It was the thought that being sexually assaulted, harrassed, physical abuse, emotional abuse, it was less than combat PTSD that males experience. When in reality it’s the same,” Bowen said.

“No one’s better, no one’s worse, we all went through a lot of pain while we were in the service.”

SGA is currently sponsoring both the Gold Rush campaign and T-shirt sales.

The sales will go to benefit the United Way campaign.

Brewster said while he sees repeat members selling, a lot of the support has come from academic departments around campus.

Botanic Garden turning gardening into child’s play

By Caitlin Worrell A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia Botanic Garden will host its annual Fall Children’s Festival Sunday for a variety of familyfriendly fun.

The festival, in its sixth year, offers an array of outdoor crafts for children in addition to full access to the botanic garden’s flourishing grounds and parks. Guests can also expect a visit from some furry friends and enjoy seasonal refreshments.

With almost 700 people in attendance last year, the Botanic Garden anticipates this year’s celebration to be the biggest yet.

Families have countless options for crafts and activities, including pumpkin painting, two bird feeder crafts and fairy house building. The fairy craft will be featured in a specially-designed fairy garden to give guests the illusion of a whimsical atmosphere. Crafters will use natural materials such as sticks, leaves, rocks and pine needles to create small homes where woodland fairies can live. More activities for the whole family include take-home bulb planting and “seed bombs”, just

The Children’s Discovery Museum of West Virginia will host a pumpkin-scented paper craft for those looking to indulge in the smells of

the season. Other affiliates like the Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia will be stopping by with birds from their facility.

The Botanic Gardens has multiple gardens, vistas and

parks within its site blossoming with flowers and foliage.

Open to the public daily, the park’s no-fee policy makes it easily accessible and available to locals. But for many families, the Fall Children’s

Festival is the first time they are exposed to the Botanic Garden.

“We wanted to provide an event with a focus on children and families,” said Erin Smaldone, the organizer of

the Fall Children’s Festival.

“Many families don’t know the WVBG exists until they come to the festival. It’s a wonderful way for us to share the site with the community.”

Bringing in new families each year, the Botanic Garden hopes its fall event will put its site on the map as a year-round go-to spot for family-friendly fun.

“People are often delighted to learn about this wonderful natural area so close to home and come back to visit after the festival,” Smaldone said. “The festival itself has become very popular with local families. Where else can you create and take home multiple crafts, build fairy houses, enjoy delicious food and spend the afternoon outside in the splendor of nature at little or no cost?”

The event also prompted the need for more than 50 volunteers from the area, many of which are West Virginia University students.

The Fall Children’s Festival, sponsored by the Weldon Family Foundation of Morgantown, will be from 1-4 p.m. Oct. 5 at the West Virginia Botanic Garden. There is no admission fee for the festival. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Four Horsemen hosts gaming event for ALS charity

BY ASHLEY DENARDO A&E EDITOR @amdenardo

Many people have spent hours on YouTube watching celebrities and regular people dumping buckets of ice-cold water on their heads to spread awareness about ALS. Four Horsemen Comics and Gaming is hosting an event tonight with a new twist on the “Ice Bucket Challenge.”

According to the store’s Facebook event, the store wants to do it “nerd-style.”

This entails an eight-person “Magic: The Gathering” Ice Age Tournament.

“Players will be given a sealed tournament deck of Ice Age and two packs of “Cold-

snap,” which is an additional, supplemental product to Ice Age,” said Ira Wile, a worker at the gaming store. “From this random card pool, they’ll construct a deck of at least 40 cards with which to duel other players in the event.

The event is run in Swissstyle pairings and rounds.

The winner is the player with the best record overall.”

Wile said people should expect to travel back in time for this event.

“This is a format and a set that’s not been explored in almost 15 years,” Wile said.

“Many of our players were way too young to play ‘Magic’ when this set came out, and the makers of the game have evolved the style so much

West Virginia Business College students do the Ice Bucket Challenge. that this form of ‘sealed play’ is very, very rare. We have a very limited amount of product though because of the age and nature of it.”

This unusual take on a common trend was thought up by the store’s owner, Ron

wboy.com

Davis, Wile and others involved in gaming.

“The ALS Ice Water Challenge has garnered a lot of press and given a lot of attention to the charity,” Wile said. “Earlier in the season, Ron, the shop owner, raised

around $300 by living up to his own Ice Bucket challenge.

This (event) is a creative twist on the ‘cold’ theme, tailored to us ‘Magic’ players.

Star City Games in Roanoke, Va., one of the largest “Magic” dealers in the world, and Madness Games & Comics in Plano, Texas helped provide the materials to make the event a success.

The entry fee for participants is $30 and it is limited to eight players on a first-come, first-serve basis.

“It’s a sport, and I’ve met some phenomenal folks through it,” Wile said. “And I’m sure that most players have similar stories and have forged great friendships and relationships through the

game.”

The winner of the tournament will receive free entry to some future events at Four Horsemen Comics and Gaming, $25 to spend at the store and a free milkshake from Chick-Fil-A. The second-place winner will also receive free entry to the Four Horsemen/Star City Games Wednesday Night Magic event.

Proceeds generated by the event will be donated to the ALS Association.

The tournament will take place 6 p.m. tonight at Four Horsemen Comics and Gaming located in the Morgantown Mall. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

Mellencamp channels dead writers NEW YORK (AP) — John Mellencamp feels he has some impressive co-writers for his latest songs, like playwright Tennessee Williams and folk legend Pete Seeger.

That they’re both dead doesn’t really matter. Mellencamp believes in channeling, that other voices speak through him when he’s writing music. And, yes, he fully recognizes that sounds weird to outsiders.

“A lot of people call it `inspiration,’” he said. “As long as you identify it as inspiration, then you’re still trying to control it - `I’m inspired to do this, but I’m going to do THIS.’ You’ve got to get out of your own way. If you get out of your own way, then you can really write something that means something.”

His 22nd album is accurately described by the title “Plain Spoken,” released last week. It contains 10 literate, acoustic-based songs on religion, redemption, mature love and self-reflection, with humor thrown in. Call it age-appropriate music from a 62-year-old former rock star who now scoffs that rock is dead.

A Rolling Stone online article about Mellencamp one time was headlined: “He had one of the greatest careers in pop and rock and hated every minute of it.”

Not quite true, Mellencamp said. He didn’t like stardom, chafed at record company pressure and saw hits as the quickest way to make his mark in a competitive industry. He had plenty: “Jack and Diane,” “Hurt So Good,” “Paper in Fire,” “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.,” “Pink Houses” - the list goes on.

His present feelings about songwriting and rock `n’ roll leave him with an uneasy relationship with many of those old songs, which are kind of like old high school chums you don’t hang around with anymore. “Pink Houses,” for instance, “was an inspiration song, but John got involved in the last verse and screwed it up,” he said, drawing out the vowel

John Mellencamp at the Meet the Creators event hosted by New York City’s Apple Store Soho in 2013. in his own name.

The goal for “Plain Spoken,” executive produced

by T Bone Burnett, was to let the songs and melodies speak for themselves.

“I will rearrange all of the old songs and they will sound like they came off this record,” said Mellencamp, who will tour for much of next year. “You’ll recognize the songs, of course, but it won’t be the arrangement that you’re familiar with. It will become a whole new song.”

Fans of roots-based music should appreciate the disc, said Jed Hilly, executive director of the Americana Music Association.

Mellencamp already owns a lifetime achievement award from the organization.

“It’s not filled with the pop hooks that the `Jack and Diane’ era are famous for,” Hilly said. “But it’s a very thoughtful record.”

Mellencamp’s recent comments about his need to make age-appropriate music are certain to rub some peers the wrong way.

He doesn’t see the point of running around a stage and singing about girls the way he did 30 years ago. He remembers seeing James

Brown in his prime and being electrified, then cringing 25 years later watching the soul master struggle to get up from his signature splits.

An example of how he talks to his peers is the song “The Isolation of Mister,” about a headstrong man who got it all wrong when he was younger. Autobiography? To an extent, but Mellencamp said many can relate.

“I think that a lot of men when they reach a certain age, they realize what they’ve done and what their regrets are,” he said.

The Indiana resident’s quieter music shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who’s followed the last half of his career. What may take listeners aback is his voice, more weathered now and limited in its range.

“Two million cigarettes later and I finally sound like a black guy,” he said.

“Thank God. The cigarettes finally paid off. They’re going to give me cancer and they’re going to kill me, but for a short amount of time, they’re going to make my voice sound like it should sound.”

This event is free and open to the public.

Reflecting on SGA’s lack of progress The Daily Athenaeum has the responsibility of being the watchdog for West Virginia University activities.

As things happen on-campus or in our community, it is our responsibility to inform our readers with accurate information.

A large focus of our time is spent on the Student Government Association.

At last night’s meeting, Daniel Brewster, a sociology professor at WVU and advisor for SGA, commented on what little it has accomplished this year. Bob Campione, also a faculty advisor, also encouraged SGA members to participate more often in their own events.

“Something has to be done,” Brewster said. “You sit in every meeting and we hear from the same executives every single week talking about progress they are making and not so much progress you are making.”

Because of this, we reflected on the previous SGA administration and the current.

Under the Campione and Seebaugh administration, SGA was extremely effective.

An extraordinary amount of time was spent discussing how Homecoming Court is selected. SGA should have been included on any Homecoming Court decisions, but these seemed to cloud the potential for discussing any other projects.

On Sept. 3, SGA passed a resolution to better outline the responsibilities of the Big 12 University Liaison. Jessica Harris was already filling the position and completed the same tasks when the resolution was accepted.

On Sept. 10, SGA had no new or old business to attend to. Instead, they listened to presenters in an open-student forum.

Once again, there was no new business presented by SGA members at Wednesday’s meeting.

There appears to be a divide between SGA members who ran on the Trusted Ticket and those who ran with the Launch Party. At SGA’s recent retreat, most of those who attended ran on the Trusted Ticket.

But the successes or failures of SGA cannot be pinned to one individual.

Part of the problem for measuring Nyden’s success is because of his ambitious platform. It’s difficult to make college more affordable in the period of time that he has been in office, but this does not mean other goals could not have been met.

But Nyden took some responsibilities for how SGA has been run this year.

“I think that in many ways I have perhaps failed as a leader, and I take that upon myself in terms of other people in the organization not always giving reports each week,” Nyden said.

It is important to recognize that there can be many things happening behind closed doors that students or The DA never hear about.

But it is also important to remember that if we place a high importance on the role of SGA, we must also have high expectations.

Students should have confidence that elected SGA members are fulfilling the promises they made during election season. Right now, it seems like they aren’t. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

E-cigs: Vaporizing your lungs one puff at a time taylor jobin columnist @dailyathenaeum

For years we’ve known the deadly nature of cigarettes. How their carcinogenic qualities burn holes from generation to generation. We’ve seen the commercials that implore us to end nicotine addiction and give new breath to our future youth.

Contrary to popular belief, tobacco smoking will never go away. It is a plant that grows in the ground.

It has been smoked for millennia, and it will be smoked long after our generation is gone.

But can you imagine a product that gives off the

same buzz, the same relief, all while not killing 400,000 Americans every year? An innovative, technology-based product that vaporizes the deadly ingredients of cigarettes.

A product, while still addictive in its own right, that could possibly help wean people off in due time. If you imagined ecigarettes, close your eyes again - I have some bad news.

After years of hopeful uncertainty pertaining to the safety of e-cigarettes, scientists are only now coming to realize the harm they are producing.

Vaporizing sounds nice in theory. The word itself is kind of cool. To me it con-

jures the image of a Christmas cup of hot cocoa, the steam wafting over my hot mug. Instead, vaporizing nicotine can leave traces of lung-irritating solvents.

These solvents can transform into carbonyls such as formaldehyde, a cancer-causing compound. e-cigarettes also release high levels of nanoparticles that have been known to trigger inflammation.

They have been linked to asthma, stroke, heart disease and diabetes, per http://sciencenews.org.

The strange thing is big tobacco seems to be going all-in on the warning labels of e-cigs, claiming the inhalation of nicotine is very toxic and can cause a whole host of negative

side effects. Mind you, they are doing this unprovoked by anti-smoking legislation.

The New York Times recently made the odd discovery of big tobacco companies like Altria, maker of Marlboro, and Reynolds America, maker of Camels, having some particularly harsh labels for their new products.

One might interpret this as a changing of the times.

The tobacco companies are now looking to be honest with consumers about the lethal products they peddle. That noble agendas have made their way into the hearts of corporate head honchos, I think not. I smell some insidious motives instead.

The tobacco companies have a few reasons to be critical of the warning labels on their new e-cigarettes. It can’t hurt them to remind people of what they already know - nicotine is a drug and can be harmful in the long run – and it could spare them some lawsuits in the future if they openly claim their product is bad for you.

Another reason is the attempt to monopolize this new and expanding market. There are so many small, yet aspiring e-cigarette companies all vying for market shares, that the big corporations are hoping to scare you back into your comfort zone.

The thinking goes: “If all products are created

equally bad, then I might as well stay with the brand I know.”

And that’s why smoking will never truly go away.

It’s addictive, and there is always money to be made off addiction. The jury is still out on whether e-cigarettes are better, worse or the same for you as regular cigarettes.

The tobacco companies, big and small, will always be fighting for your breath as well as your bread.

There will always be antismoking commercials that force you to change the channel. And smoking, vaporized or not, will always be bad for you. There are better things to do anyway. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Sleepology: The beauty of power naps, being well-rested walbert castillo the daily illini university of illinois

With the amount of work college students face every single day, it’s no surprise they suffer from sleep-deprivation.

For preschoolers, napping is critical because it assists their developing brain with consolidating newly learned information.

Although college students do not have as many carefree days as preschoolers do, finding the time to take a nap can lower risks for health problems, enhance memory and improve cognitive skills in the long run. These health problems range from obesity to diabetes as stated in an article from Greatist. Lethargy can ultimately interfere with students’ schedules in terms of work performance, relationships and grades.

According to The California Aggie, a study done at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota stated that “70 percent of college students receive less than the eight recommended hours of sleep.” If you are a student that falls within that 70 percent range, the best way to combat fatigue is by taking a power nap.

An article from Greatist stated that “the ideal length for a power nap varies from person to person, but somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes is the general recommendation.”

Timothy Swan, a student

DA

at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said that it’s been a while since he took power naps.

“But one thing I can tell you is I start getting drowsy right after lunch time,” Swan said.

“However, back then when I used to take power naps, I would feel rejuvenated and continue with the second half of my day.”

Power Nap Stages: Stage 1 and 2 are considered to fall under the nonREM stages; power naps consist of the two combined.

Beyond Stage 3, deep sleep is active.

One thing that you have to realize is that after stage 3, stage 2 is repeated several times before actually entering stage REM. An article from About.com said “on average, we enter the REM stage approximately 90 minutes after falling asleep.”

Stage 1 – Known to be the lightest stage in the sleep cycle. During this phase, the brain will produce high amplitude theta waves (slow brain waves). Usually this takes place within the first 5-10 minutes after you close your eyes. Also, a person can easily be awakened.

Stage 2 – During this stage, the brain creates sleep spindles, which are rapid bursts of rhythmic brain wave activity.

Heart rate progressively slows down. On WebMD it was stated that “this is a period of light sleep during which polysomnographic readings show intermittent peaks and val-

www.intermediaair.nl

leys, or positive and negative waves.”

Additionally, body temperature decreases. The body is preparing itself to enter deep sleep (REM).

However, a person who passes the 20-minute mark will fall into the deeper stages of sleep (stages 3, 4 and 5) and may experience a phenomenon known as sleep inertia, which is also known as “sleep drunkenness.” A person waking up from sleep inertia can feel more tired and disoriented than he/she was once before.

In order to avoid this, it is advocated that a person should continue the full REM

(Rapid Eye Movement) cycle and nap for 90 minutes instead. Depending on what time you wake up, the human body will experience exhaustion after 8 hours.

With that being said, the best time to nap would be between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Health stated that “power naps may boost your ability to process and store information tenfold.”

Find a quiet place and keep yourself away from distractions. If you are going to set your alarm clock on your cellphone active, be sure to keep your mobile device on silent so your text messages and phone calls won’t bother

you.

Tips for Power Napping -Power naps only work best the moment you actually start sleeping so try to set your alarm clock in advance.

-If you are not around a bed, find a couch! However, if you find a hammock nearby on campus, call dibs on it quick, for it may be the answer to sleep slumber.

-WikiHow.com stated that as soon as your alarm clock goes off it’s best to “follow up with physical activity.” Just by doing jumping jacks or pushups you’re not only waking up your brain but all of your bodily functions.

-Other than exercising right

after you wake up, you can splash water on your face or go outside to expose yourself to a bright light.

-If you are faced with a huge homework assignment and are in need of extra energy, it’s suggested that you take a shot of espresso just before you get ready to nap. Since caffeine takes a while to travel through the system, once you wake up, you will definitely feel the extra kick.

However, in the long run a person shouldn’t follow through with this method all the time because “coffee affects the quality of sleep in general,” according to Nap Sounds.

MUSIC TO YOUR EARS

Award-winning Symphony Orchestra to blow away audience

by Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra will be performing its first concert of the semester today at the Creative Arts Center.

WVUSO became an official student organization in the spring of 2011, which came with the foundation of the WVUSO Cabinet. The orchestra is composed of students who are enrolled in the orchestra class as well as members from the local community.

In order to become part of the orchestra, one must take part in the auditions held at the beginning of each semester. Students are required to play a portion of a solo for their instrument, as well as play some of the difficult passages from orchestra music.

This semester, the orchestra consists of 75 members.

Members can be a part of brass, wind, percussion or string sections. All the music played by the orchestra is played with a full string section, but each piece calls for different numbers of brass, wind and percussion instruments.

The WVUSO is under the conduction of the Associate Professor and Director of Orchestral Activities, Mitchell Arnold. Arnold has an extensive background in music. He received a masters in composition and a doctorate of music in orchestral conducting from Northwestern University. He has been on the faculties of Northern Illinois University, Northwestern University, Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory of Music and Overlin College Conservatory of Music.

Arnold was also a composing and performing member of the acclaimed Chi-

Since Arnold took over as director of the WVUSO, he’s taken the ensemble on a tour of three states in 2012.

He also brought WVUSO to Texas, being one of two orchestras invited to perform at the 2014 national confer-

ence of the College Orchestra Directors Association.

In 2013, the WVUSO was awarded the American Prize Special Citation for Musical and Technical excellence in a national competition.

The concert will be comprised of three pieces. The first piece that will be played is “Winter Poems,” by Canadian composer Glenn Buhr. The second is “Aca-

demic Festival Overture” by Johannes Brahms. The last piece is Symphony No. 9 in C Major “The Great” by Franz Schubert.

“Each piece has its own special quality,” Arnold said.

“The first piece consists of three movements and calls for the largest number of winds, brass and percussion. The second piece is only one movement and is

written by one of classical music’s great composers, Johannes Brahms, as a “thank you” piece for the University of Breslau. The piece is both masterful and fun. The last piece is the big one and consists of four movements and is exciting, moving and profound. It is an example of how the greatest music, classical or otherwise, has the power to move us, to trans-

port us to other places.”

“The audience should expect great music played with passion and intensity.”

The concert will be held at 7:30 tonight in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in the CAC. Tickets are $5 for students, $6 for seniors and $10 for general admission. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Visiting Artist Lecture: Joseph Galbreath

By Jillian Clemente A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Look at this font. It was written on a computer with hundreds of fonts to choose from.

But what about the lost fonts, the unique ones that existed at sole print shops?

Those are the ones that Joseph Galbreath cares about. He researches, documents and talks about them. Now he is giving a special lecture on them.

This five-year West Virginia University professor of graphic design is taking

an opportunity to show and talk about his research, which focuses on vernacular design traditions from the American Poster Print Shop.

“The exhibition is partially my work, partially some artifacts from Triangle Poster and Printing Company in Pittsburgh,” Galbreath said.

There will also be some from the American shop as well. These artifacts can be anything from a large piece of billboard to different posters made from this company’s primary clientele, the circus industry.

“This style of printing

s l a i c e ober Sp

Oct

is something that used to happen all over the country,” Galbreath said. “Now, there’s less and less of these shops.”

These shops were unique in the sense that they printed commercially , but also independently.

They allowed the designer to actually print what he designed. He didn’t have to send it off to a commercial company.

“It’s not print-making per se. It’s a form of manufacturing, but it’s on an intimate, hand-made scale,” Galbreath said. “It’s a part of visual language of 20thcentury America and is

something that isn’t well documented.”

That’s why he took the task upon himself to research and document this part of American history.

“It’s not as well documented, but it should be because it’s part of America’s visual heritage,” Galbreath said.

As part of his research, Galbreath interviews and photographs artifacts dealing with printing.

“My goal is to tell the story of this genre of printing, and the stories are harder and harder to get,” Galbreath said.

Each shop had its

unique typeface, but now they’re all going away.

“Each shop has its own holdings,” Galbreath said.

“You used to be able to order word types from a manufacturer. Now, it’s so old that not that many are left. There are not a lot of opportunities to print specimens from large collections.”

That has been his main focus with Triangle, which is what he’s been up to this past year.

Triangle is his second print shop to research, with his first being Globe Poster in Baltimore. There,

he examined and documented the wood types of the lettering.

Galbreath’s gallery is a collection of all these findings from his research, along with many artifacts.

These artifacts are on display at the Creative Arts Center, and Galbreath’s exhibition closes Friday. If you’d like to hear him talk about his research with typefaces, he’s speaking at 5 p.m. this evening at Bloch Hall in the Creative Art Center. The event is free and open to the public. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

OUTMATCHED

connor murray sports editor @connorkmurray

Concussions and conflicting values in football The old familiar phrases in the game of football are starting to sound a bit eerie these days. “Shake it off.”

“Rub some dirt on it.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard those seemingly innocent catchphrases used by coaches in my lifetime spent around this game.

In some – and maybe most - cases, they are innocent. Sometimes, however, the ultra-macho, tough-asnails mentality that persists in locker rooms around the country can result in startling consequences.

One of the most traditionrich programs in college football history found that out Saturday. During a blowout home loss to Minnesota that would have rocked the Michigan fan base to the core regardless, the final score of the game became an afterthought when Wolverine head coach Brady Hoke made a decision that could end up costing him his job, and rightly so.

Michigan quarterback Shane Morris took a beating Saturday. He was named the starter heading into the week after an inefficient start to the season by Devin Gardner, who is normally No. 1 on the Wolverines’ quarterback depth chart.

After taking a vicious blow to the head in the fourth quarter, Morris was visibly shaken. As plenty of competitors would, he waved off the coaching staff on the sideline in order to stay in the game.

Morris had already been hobbling around the field at that point because of an ankle injury he suffered earlier in the game.

Rather than putting the safety of his quarterback first, Hoke urged Morris on from the sideline. He stayed in the game for one more play, and one more hit, before being lifted in favor of Gardner.

Later in the same possession, Gardner scrambled for a first down near midfield on the Michigan sideline. His helmet came off at the end of the run, and, by rule, he was forced to sit out for a play.

At this point, it appeared Michigan would have to turn to its third-string quarterback Russell Bellomy. That didn’t happen. Inexplicably, Morris was thrust back into the line of fire, put at risk of making an already bad situation disastrous.

Thankfully, the coaching staff had enough sense to call a quick handoff that would keep Morris from getting hit, but the fact that he was even allowed to step back onto the field after sustaining a head injury is preposterous.

I understand wanting to tough an injury out for your team. That is something that has been ingrained in the minds of most football players since they first started playing the game.

I’m sure Morris was more than willing to go back in the game, but the problem is he should not have been able to. It is up to the team’s medical staff and coaching staff to make sure that any head injury is properly examined before a player re-enters a game.

After the game, Hoke said he didn’t see the hit that caused Morris to become visibly shaken up. Just about everyone watching the game did, including ESPN color analyst Ed Cunningham, who was broadcasting the game Saturday.

“This young man looked groggy after that hit (and) he’s being put back on the field,” Cunningham said during the broadcast. “He can barely stand up. This is not good player management. We’ve talked about player safety in this game, guys getting hit in the head. This is atrocious to me.”

Times are changing. We know what kind of impact head injuries can have on players’ lives after they are done with football. Teams are doing a much better job of adhering to proper concussion protocol on all levels of football. This is just an ugly reminder that not everyone is completely on board yet. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Shorthanded West Virginia blown out by No. 13 New Mexico in Albuquerque by ryan minnigh sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In its first game against a ranked opponent, West Virginia held its own. In its second game against a ranked team, they were outmatched by a great deal.

The No. 15 New Mexico Lobos blew out the Mountaineers 6-1 Wednesday night, led by a ferocious offensive attack that put West Virginia on its heels from the beginning.

New Mexico came out firing from the opening kick,

hustling down the field trying to catch the Mountaineers off guard. They were about to drive into the box within the first 15 seconds of play and left the Mountaineers a man down.

A red card was given to Francio Henry for a handball in the box, and the Lobos got a penalty kick opportunity only 15 seconds into the match.

Ben McKendry converted the chance to give the Lobos the 1-0 lead.

West Virginia got its first and only break of the game on its next possession. A hus-

tle play by Ryan Cain put him in position to take a shot. A miscommunication between the defender and the keeper allowed Cain to score the Mountaineers’ first goal of the game, evening the score at 1-1 at the 17:10 mark.

On a three-on-two opportunity, great passing by the Lobos allowed Niko Hansen to slip past the defense and score the Lobos’ second goal of the game just before the 23 minute mark in the first period.

Kevin Correa and Sam Gleadle both had opportunities to score for New Mexico,

but one shot was deflected away while the other missed just high of the crossbar.

Midfielder Chris Wehan did not waste New Mexico’s next chance. James Rogers pushed a pass on the ground to Wehan who buried the Lobo’s third goal of the half.

Just over three minutes later, New Mexico was on the attack again and banged home another goal. Kevin Correa used his fancy footwork to split Mountaineer defenders and pushed the ball to the far side of the goal to put the Lobos up 4-1 at the 37:36

mark.

After substitutions by both teams, New Mexico was able to come out and score its final goal of the match. Ben McKendry scored his second goal of the game after hustling to get the ball and put it in the net. The Lobos took a 6-1 lead at the 64:06 point in the game and did not need to add any more goals to the punishment.

West Virginia, which is now 5-5 on the season, will play its next game 7 p.m. Sunday at home against Duquesne. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The Thundering Herd took down the Mountaineers in three sets last night to win the in-state Battle for the Golden Ball. West Virginia lost to Marshall with set scores of 25-19, 25-17 and 25-22. Out of the last 12 times the teams have met, Marshall has won 11.

The loss puts the Mountaineers at 11-5, 1-1 Big 12 so far this season, and the Thundering Herd kept their home win streak alive and are now 9-9, 3-0 Conference USA. Head coach Jill Kramer said the essential parts of the game were what hurt the Mountaineers.

“It really starts with serving and passing, like it always does,” Kramer said. “They really controlled the game with that, they served well and they passed well and we didn’t really serve well or pass well, and it really limits what you can do offensively and defensively when you do that.”

Leading WVU in kills was

junior Nikki Attea who hit .429 on the match with 12, followed by sophomore Jordan Anderson with 11. On the Marshall side of the net, sophomore Ally Kiekover led the scoring effort with 16 kills followed by teammate sophomore Elyse Panick who had 10.

“They started out on a really high clip for the first and second set, and they played good defense against us too,” Kramer said. “For whatever reason, we just didn’t make good reads blocking like we normally do. Our set up wasn’t as good as normal, we didn’t play as good defense around the block, things like that.”

WVU hit for .189 on the match while Marshall hit .327.

Freshman Giana Gotterba started as libero again and led the team with 12 digs. The passing effort was also contributed by Attea who had six digs. Anderson had seven digs, and Caleah Wells, Hannah Sackett and Melvina Brown all had three.

Kramer said having Gotterba start again is showing

what she can do and what plays she can set up on the court.

“She led us in digs again tonight and she did a good job,” she said.

Starting setter Lamprini Konstantinidou finished the match with 28 assists along with two kills and four digs.

Konstantinidou and Wells teamed up for the only team block of the night, the lowest blocking total that WVU has put up all season.

“We didn’t play well. I don’t want to take away from Marshall, they played really well,” Kramer said. “There was no part of our game that was good. This is the first time we’ve really performed poorly this year. I think that our losses earlier in the season, we played those teams really tough and we just had a really hard time getting it going.”

The Mountaineers will hit the road again this weekend as they will take on the Iowa State Cyclones at 2 p.m. Saturday in Ames, Iowa. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Schwindel continues to overcome challenges throughout career by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

As conference play continues for the West Virginia women’s soccer team, one player is excited to be back on the field helping her team fight for another Big 12 title.

Senior forward Kate Schwindel is no stranger to injuries. During her four years at West Virginia, she said she’s never been entirely healthy. “(In) my four years, I don’t think I’ve ever been 100 percent, which is crazy to think about,” Schwindel

said.

Schwindel started the season healthy, but midway through nonconference play, she suffered another injury and was forced to sit out the remaining nonconference matchups.

She, however, returned to action this past weekend as the Mountaineers began Big 12 play on the road against TCU and Texas.

With nagging bumps, bruises and injuries throughout her career, Schwindel is well aware of what it takes to ease back into playing.

“It’s a little different at first,” Schwindel said. “But,

you can’t go in there with the mentality that you’re hurt or something’s wrong, and you have to bring that same mentality as if you were 100 percent.”

S chw indel’s return couldn’t have come at a better time. The Mountaineers are looking to claim their fourth straight conference title between the Big East and the Big 12.

With a draw against TCU and a win over Texas this past weekend, the road to another conference title is in full swing.

Schwindel started both games for the Mountaineers, and she said the first

game – against TCU – was a bit different than the one against Texas.

“Friday (against TCU) was a bit more about me getting back on the field and getting my confidence up,” she said. “Sunday (against Texas) I felt like I was settling back into the role I had before I got hurt.”

Getting back to top form will be a key component come next week. Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown’s squad will square off against No. 6 Texas Tech in another Big 12 showdown under the lights.

This matchup in particular sparks a lot of emo-

tion for Schwindel. Not only were the Red Raiders the only team to hand the Mountaineers their one loss in Big 12 play last season, but it was also the game in which Schwindel tore her ACL and missed the remainder of the 2013 season.

Now Texas Tech will come to Morgantown, and Schwindel is highly motivated to return the favor and hand the Red Raiders a loss. “(It’s) a huge matchup,” Schwindel said. “I know I’ve had a whole year to think about it. That was the game I got hurt in. We’re

going to bring a lot, and they have a lot to bring too.”

Texas Tech has already suffered a conference loss; they fell to Texas in overtime, 1-0, last weekend.

This is the Red Raiders’ only loss to date.

The Mountaineers and Red Raiders have established a rivalry in past seasons, and the game next week should provide a good showing from both schools.

WVU and Texas Tech will kickoff at 7 p.m., Oct. 10 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Cardinals’ Wacha in bullpen to start NLDS

ap

Cardinals’ Michael Wacha prepares to deliver a pitch earlier this season.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Michael Wacha, who starred in the postseason as a rookie last fall, will be in the St. Louis Cardinals’ bullpen for the start of the NL Division Series.

It did not come as a surprise.

“I was kind of expecting it,” Wacha said Wednesday after a 40-minute workout

at Busch Stadium.

“Just never made it back to where I wanted to be as a starter,” he added. “I’m just happy they’re going to take a little chance on me in the bullpen.”

Manager Mike Matheny said he’ll go with Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, John Lackey and Shelby Miller the first four games

against the Dodgers. The best-of-five series starts Friday in Los Angeles.

“If we’re fortunate enough to move forward, things could be different,” Matheny said. “But right now that’s how he’s going to be able to help us the best.”

The 23-year-old Wacha was the NL Championship series MVP last year, out-

pitching Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw twice. He’s had trouble regaining form after a long layoff caused by a shoulder injury and totaled 16 2-3 innings in four September starts.

“I’m hoping our starters, they get out there and dominate, which I know they will,” said Wacha, who was 5-6 with a 3.20 ERA in 19

starts.

Acquired from Boston at the trade deadline, Lackey beat the Cardinals twice in the World Series for Boston and finished strong this year. Miller barely pitched last fall due to workload concerns combined with season-long difficulties against division series opponent Pittsburgh.

“I’m just excited to pitch.

I’m excited to help the team however I can,” Miller said.

“I felt I was strong and finished well.”

Wainwright was 20-9 and his 2.38 ERA was third best in the NL. Lynn was 15-10 with a 2.74 ERA, Miller was 10-9 with a 3.74 ERA and Lackey was 3-3 with a 4.30 ERA.

Rookie managers Williams, Ausmus reach postseason WASHINGTON (AP) – Matt Williams was in his 18th game as a major league manager, still learning on the job, when he went with his gut.

Williams saw Bryce Harper hit a comebacker in the sixth inning, jog out of the batter’s box and veer off toward the home dugout, several strides before first base. Williams yanked Harper from the Washington Nationals’ lineup. That decision in April was one of many that made clear Williams would do things his way, something he was

taught by a couple of his managers, Dusty Baker and Bob Brenly.

“Dusty told me to be me.

You can’t ... try to be somebody that you’re not. When Bryce didn’t run to first, it made me mad,” Williams said. “You’ve got to be who you are, warts and all.”

Williams, whose Nationals host Game 1 of an NL Division Series on Friday, and Brad Ausmus, whose Tigers open their ALDS at Baltimore on Thursday, are attempting to accomplish something only four men have in baseball’s long his-

tory: win a World Series as a first-time manager.

Brenly was the most recent, with the 2001 Diamondbacks, whose third baseman happened to be Williams. The others: Bucky Harris, 1924 Senators; Eddie Dyer, 1946 Cardinals; Ralph Houk, 1961 Yankees. Only 11 other rookie skippers reached a World Series, according to STATS. Both Williams and Ausmus are recently removed from lengthy playing careers (Williams, 48, retired in 2003 after 17 years; Aus-

mus, 45, stopped in 2010 after 18 years). Both replaced long-time managers (Davey Johnson; Jim Leyland) and kept the predecessor’s bench coach and pitching coach. Both took over talented teams (the 2012 Nationals won 98 games; the Tigers’ 2014 AL Central title is their fourth straight).

And both get credit in their clubhouses for keeping an even keel, connecting with players and, above all, being themselves.

“It’s: How do you get the most out of these individuals and humans to win?”

Ausmus said. “I think that’s the most important part, and sometimes in this sabermetric age, that’s lost.”

The Tigers went 9-20 from mid-May to mid-

June. Starter Anibal Sanchez got injured in August.

They slid to second place when the Royals went on a tear. Ausmus never wavered.

“Whether we were winning six in a row or losing – whatever it was, he was the same guy,” Detroit’s Don Kelly said. “I don’t know about inwardly, but at least to everybody else, he was the same guy.”

Williams dealt with Harper, Ryan Zimmerman, Wilson Ramos and Doug Fister each spending more than a month on the disabled list. Stephen Strasburg lobbied to stay in games longer. Bullpen management didn’t come naturally.

There were three potentially disruptive mo-

ments involving Harper: what Williams called “lack of hustle” in April; Harper publicly voicing lineup opinions in June; a radiointerview flap in August over whether a slumping Harper should go to the minors.

Williams weathered everything, wound up with an NL East title and could be NL Manager of the Year.

“We’ve accomplished one goal, and we’re looking for another and another and another, hopefully,” he said, heaping praise on his staff, including bench coach Randy Knorr, pitching coach Steve McCatty and hitting coach Rick Schu, all holdovers. “Getting to know the players was important.

I think I’ve done a better job of that. Understanding personalities – that takes time.”

Williams himself earned a certain reputation as a player. A “roughneck,” outfielder Jayson Werth has called him.

“S ometimes things go bad, and you can see him over in the corner of the dugout, steaming at the ears. But he bites his tongue and kind of lets it roll over,” shortstop Ian Desmond said. “It’s good for players to know that he’s making an effort to hold back. It’s, ‘This is not ideal, but I’m not going to yell at you for it, because I remember what it’s like.’”

Brenly recalled a 1993 episode when Williams didn’t hold back. Brenly was on Baker’s Giants staff, Williams was the third baseman, and Barry Bonds had just arrived.

Virginia program, ThomasWilliams’ ability to shine in the coming years has high potential.

As for Howard, he was the starting quarterback at Riverside City College in California in 2013, and put up some impressive numbers.

Between helping lead Riverside to a 10-2 record, the National Division Central Conference Championship and advance to an appearance in the California State Championship game, he also completed 219 of 325 passes for 3,151 yards and threw for 33 touch-

downs, while only throwing six interceptions all season.

In addition to these two up-and-coming players, Holgorsen said more players were also able to show what they’re made of on both sides of the ball last week.

“We have two full offensive lines and two full defensive lines that are on developmental squads and stuff. (Freshman linebacker) Xavier Preston got a lot of reps and looks good.

(JUCO transfer defensive back) Jaylon Myers continues to get a little bit better, which is a work in progress

for him,” he said.

Holgorsen said although he enjoyed seeing the progress of what may be the future of his program, come next year, he wants to see these players in a different role on the playing field.

“The developmental guys are just a little bit of a work in progress,” he said.

“Hopefully we’re not talking about any of those guys here for another year.”

As the Kansas Jayhawks (2-2) come to town in a few days to take the field against WVU (2-2) in what many Mountaineers are hoping will be a revenge

game following 2013’s embarrassing loss to Kansas, Holgorsen said his entire squad has never seemed so ready to go, as eight straight Big 12 games await West Virginia.

“What I noticed with all of those guys is that they had a bunch of energy and (are) glad to be back,” he said. “We were glad to take a couple of days off, but glad to be back at it. We had probably what I view as the most spirited practice yet this year (Sunday). So, I like where this team is at.” anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu
