Rep. Shelley Moore Capito wins the open Senate seat for West Virginia, defeats Secretary of State Natalie Tennant by jake jarvis
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R) was elected as West Virginia’s first female U.S. Senator yesterday. Her term will be the first in 55 years West Virginia was represented by a Republican. With her election, and the election of senators in Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Kansas, Georgia, Iowa and North Carolina, Republicans have taken control of the U.S. Senate. “Around the country today, Americans came together and made their voices heard to tell Washington that we can do better,” Capito said in a speech in Charleston, W.Va., shortly after the polls closed. “And, West Virginians voted to send a new voice to Washington to speak for them that will always fight for our values.” Capito served for seven terms in the House of Rep-

Saira Blair becomes youngest ever W.Va. legislator by jacob bojesson editor-in-chief @jbojesson
West Virginia University student Saira Blair (R) will become the youngest person to ever serve in the West Virginia state legislature after getting elected Tuesday. Blair, an 18-year-old freshman, was elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates from the 59th district after beating her two opponents by a landslide. Blair received more than twice the votes of her main opponent, Democratic Party candidate Layne Dieh. “It was amazing to see that the 59th district had so much faith in me,” Blair said shortly after getting the results. Blair celebrated the victory at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading to the Berkley County Court House and later to Charles Town to celebrate with another newly

elected Republican, Alex Mooney, who will take over Shelley Moore Capito’s seat in the U.S. Congress. Blair was just 17 years old when she defeated two-term Republican Del. Larry D. Kump in the primary election in May.
Blair said her main priority in the House will be to create more jobs throughout the state. “I think it’s important for us to bring jobs to the state of West Virginia,” Blair said. “I see a lot of people get their high school and their col-
lege education in West Virginia and then they leave the state because they can’t find a good paying job.” Blair created a 16 page booklet to give voters an introduction to her viewpoints and wrote 4,000 handwritten letters to show her dedication to the people of the district. Her young age makes her stand out among politicians in the state, but she said she’s gotten positive feedback on her campaign from the start. “It’s been both positive and negative (reactions to running at an early age) but mostly it’s been really positive,” Blair said. Blair will finish out the fall semester and then take a break from school until the end of her term. Election Day didn’t end as happily for another WVU student. John Williams (D), a 24-year-old senior politi-
cal science student, finished seventh in the 51st district election for the House of Delegates. Williams was disappointed with the outcome but blessed with the experience he’s had running for office. “This was an amazing experience that gave me the opportunity to love my state more than I ever thought that I could,” Williams said. “From here on out I’m just going to focus on work and getting out of school and I really don’t know what the future holds.” Williams was the third most popular Democratic candidate in the district, a slot that would have given him a seat in the last election two years ago. Williams believes the outcome of the election can be explained by the tendency of voters to vote against the party of the president half-
way into his or her final term in the White House, a trend that was extreme this time around according to Williams. “In elections, the last midterm of a presidents career, they often tend to sway to the opposing party and this was an extreme case of that,” Williams said. “I was extremely proud to have placed third on the Democratic ticket to the House of Delegates and I think if the results would have gone the way a lot of people were predicting I would have been elected, but the people have spoken and they’re unpleased with the policies of Democrats nationally. However, I wish they would have taken more time to look at what the local candidates like myself were proposing.” The House of Delegates will begin its new session in January, 2015. carl.bojesson@mail.wvu.edu
WELLWVU surprises students with flash mob, encourages meditation by kendall snee staff writer @dailyathenaeum
With the semester more than halfway over, and much of the student body feeling burnt out from their scholarly anxieties, West Virginia University’s WELLWVU:The Students’ Center of Health staged a flash mob meditation Monday in front of the Mountainlair to remind students to chillWELL. WELLWVU hosts its annual chillWELL campaign in the month of November,
where the organization’s main focus is to educate students on different ways to stay mentally healthy. The kickoff to this portion of the program for the past three years has been the flash mob meditation in front of the Mountainlair during its busiest hour. For 15 minutes, a group of WELLWVU representatives sat in a comfortable Indian style position and drowned out the noise of the passersby. Yoga mats were placed at the sides of the flash mob to allow all and any who wanted

Some even stopped to take a selfie with the meditators mid “ohm.” “I think it’s cool,” said Jen Calabrese, a sophomore criminal psychology student. “It makes a statement in front of everyone. I think things like these are better than the emails they send out. It’s more interesting.” Calabrese was not the only one to find the demonstration fascinating. “I think it’s very healthy to

You just
realize you can’t control the things going on around you, you can only control you and your peace. I think I benefited from doing this because I was able to shut out the noise.” Shannon Foster, a health education specialist, said the flash mob is a unique way to grab student attention. “This has been our third year doing this. We use social marketing to express to students different ways to relieve their stress and to have better stress management,” Foster said. “ChillWELL looks to shift the lenses to a positive

City talks Images of man using abducted woman’s card released bike lane on Mon. Boulevard by kendall snee staff writer @dailyathenaeum
Morgantown is famous for its not-so-flat terrain, but imagine riding a bicycle and being told the safest option as a cyclist is to stay in a traffic lane. What happens when the road begins to head uphill? Is one still capable of cycling at a rigorous pace next to an automobile? Morgantown’s engineers and managers have sent in plans to the West Virginia Division of Highways to fix a state road that runs across Monongahela Boulevard to make it more biker friendly. City Manager Jeff Mikorski and Assistant City Manager Damien Davis will be heading the endeavor. “It’s called a climbing lane,” Davis said. “It will be (placed) on A Street and head the whole way down the road past the Advanced Auto Parts to the new intersection.” The climbing lane is a bike lane used primarily to give cyclers more space when riding up steep or severe hills. “Cyclists should get to drive safely in a lane with motor vehicles as the law states but on steep hills they can’t,” Davis said. “There are people who ride that road all the time, it’s not only necessary for the hill safety reason (but) there are also visibility issues.” Davis explained the reasoning for building such a lane is the conflict between cyclists and motorists, and Morgantown residents have wanted something done about this road and issue for a long time. “Currently, cyclists have just been riding on the shoulder area of the street,” Davis said. “With the Division of Highways plan having been submitted this week, we will start as soon as it’s approved.” Davis said the City is hopeful the lane will be completed within the year. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Mom accused of tossing son off bridge sought money GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A woman who appealed for money online to help care for her autistic son and disabled husband has been accused of throwing her 6-year-old boy to his death off an historic bridge on the Oregon coast. Police said Jillian Meredith McCabe, 34, called 911 from the bridge in Newport as darkness fell Monday to report what she had done and waited until police arrived. “I just threw my son over the Yaquina Bay Bridge,” McCabe told t h e d i s p at c h e r, a ccording to a probable cause affidavit filed Tuesday. She described her son, London Grey McCabe, and
the clothes he was wearing, saying he was in the water and gone. Later that night, a body was reported in the water at a bayside resort about a mile from the bridge, and police said they confirmed it was the kindergartener. “It’s a great tragedy,” said the boy’s great aunt, Tanya McCabe. Andrew McCabe confirmed Tuesday that his sister-in-law had written an appeal on YouCaring.com, a crowdfunding website. In it she described caring for her autistic son and her husband, Matt, who has been unable to work since developing multiple sclerosis and a mass on his brain stem. The appeal ended eight
months ago, after raising $6,831 toward a goal of $50,000. “If you are a praying person, pray for us,” Jillian McCabe wrote. “I love my husband and he has taken care of myself and my son for years and years and now it’s time for me to take the helm. I am scared and I am reaching out.” Andrew McCabe also confirmed that Jillian McCabe had posted YouTube videos, one showing her husband in a hospital bed and their son pushing a button to raise and lower it. Another shows her son sitting in a hammock, smiling with a cup of juice and engrossed in an iPad. When she asks if

he is happy, he says nothing. When she tells him to say “help” if he wants a push in the hammock, he says, “help.” Still another video shows the boy holding a stuffed toy lion and throwing coins in an indoor fountain to make a wish. Jillian McCabe appeared by video in Lincoln County Circuit Court in Newport, where she entered no pleas on charges of murder, aggravated murder and manslaughter, the court reported. Two Portland attorneys were appointed to represent her. Christopher Clayhold and Deborah Burdzick did not immediately return calls for comment. The aggravated murder charge, which carries a potential death pen-
alty, was filed because the boy was under 14 years old. Police said she was from Seal Rock, south of Newport, but Andrew McCabe said they had lived in Hood River. He said his brother had a business doing email campaigns until he became disabled. Police are asking anyone who saw the woman and child on the bridge to call detectives. In the affidavit, a police officer writes that Jillian McCabe was still talking on her cellphone when a sheriff ’s deputy walked up to her on the bridge. Another officer says he saw a woman matching Jillian McCabe’s descrip-
tion carrying a boy matching London’s description on the bridge shortly after 6 p.m., and thought it odd because the boy was, “too big to be carried,” according to the affidavit. The Yaquina Bay arched bridge, one of the most famous on the Oregon coast, opened in 1936. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It carries traffic for U.S. Highway 101 and rises more than 100 feet above the water. In 2009, a woman threw her two young children off a bridge in Portland, killing her 4-year-old son. A daughter, then 7 years old, survived. Amanda StottSmith was sentenced in 2010 to at least 35 years in prison.

WVUPALLNIGHT
Fly in with your costume for a ‘Marvel’ous contest By Chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum
Halloween may be over, but WVUp All Night’s first annual costume contest will allow students to keep their best ensembles out for one more weekend. The award-winning late night program for students will host a costume contest in honor of Superhero Weekend. Participants are encouraged to come out dressed in full superhero garb to enjoy Up All Night’s free prizes, movies and food. Taking place on the grand staircase of the Mountainlair, judges will critique costumes based on their originality, complexity, authenticity and relativity to the superhero theme. Opinions and cheers from spectators will pose as an evaluation for judges in de-
ciding the final winner. Reactions from the crowd will be measured and used for potential tiebreakers. Winners of the contest will be awarded a free WV skydiving pass. Sarah Taylor, the Mountainlair programming and special events lead intern, said she feels this is the perfect weekend for students to experience Up All Night while getting a chance to win even more free stuff. Taylor and other interns planned the first ever costume contest aiming to host a fun event that would incorporate students with the superhero theme. The program will also have a flight simulator, comic strips and an Adventure WV information table. “We want students to come out and see what awesome activities we have in store,” Taylor said.
Alongside free games, tutoring sessions and snacks, Up All Night will be featuring superhero action movies. Friday and Saturday night, students can view “The Dark Knight,” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Thor” in the Gluck Theatre. Activities in the games area of the Mountainlair will be taking place at 9 p.m., with discounted billiards, astro bowling and table tennis. Free food is one of Up All Night’s predominant features, with each week featuring various free late night snacks. This weekend’s munchies stick to the Superhero theme featuring healthy options such as grilled chicken sandwiches and vegetarian chicken sandwiches in the Commons Area of the Mountainlair at 10 p.m. Other options include fries, a nacho bar, snow cones

WVUp All Night allows students to get to know each other and coexist.” Wylie met most of his friends at Up All Night, stating the program is where he has made some of his best memories on campus. “My favorite part of the program is the fact that I know almost more people on campus than most, so I am always guaranteed to see some friends at Up All Night,” Wylie said. “Some of my best times are in the

BBC Radio Host Zane Lowe recently embarked on a music venture to put a fresh spin on a classic movie score. Lowe proposed a rescore of the indie action film “Drive,” starring Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. Not originally known for its music, “Drive” served as a blank canvas for new material to be created. The project required a group of artists to create original music to fit the mood and overall aesthetics of the movie, posing a unique writing challenge for the bands involved. The idea was well-received in the recording world, prompting many artists to come forward and offer to get involved in the ambitious re-score. The final group of artists includes The 1975, Bastille, Chvrches, Bring Me The Horizon, The Neighbourhood, BANKS, Baauer, Eric Prydz, Jon Hopkins, SBTRKT, Lauren Mvula and ZZC (Simon Neil). The collaborative effort produced a slew of new indie beats laced with melodramatic tones and cryptic lyrics, adding an entire new dimension and depth to the film. The movie opens with a mysterious Ryan Gosling speeding away from the scene of a robbery. Gosling revs his engine to the tune of Chvrches new single, “Get Away”. What was originally a scene without music has been altered and transformed into an upbeat chase, making viewers’ hearts race. Chvrches addition to the film doesn’t stray from its usual technoalternative sound, juxtaposing heavy drums with delicate melodies. Another group involved with the project was the British alternative group, The 1975, who was among the first to jump in on the idea of a rescore. “I sat down with Jim (Zane Lowe’s producer) and he began to explain to me how he was in the process of re-scoring a movie and did we want to be involved,” said Matty Healy, the lead singer and guitarist for The 1975, in an an-
The Public Relations Student Society of America chapter at West Virginia University will introduce its “Women on the Go” campaign at the Working Women’s Wednesday Jamberry Party today. The event will take place at 4 p.m. at The Vintage Room, an upscale restaurant below Bent Willey’s deck on Chestnut Street. Working Women’s Wednesday is an event that occurs weekly at the restaurant and offers $7 pizzas and a $5 drink special. The event was put in place to recognize women in the work force. In late September, WVU’s award-winning PRSSA entered a national competition centered around the creation of the best strategic campaign for Jamberry’s collegiate nail wraps, and increased overall brand awareness in less than a month. Jamberry nail wraps are made for easy application and durability. The nail wraps don’t chip, therefore there is no need for reapplication for a polished look. Also, there is no required drying time. Buyers get a professional salon look without having to go to the salon and spend a significant amount of money. Jamberry’s collegiate line consists of various school logos and mascots decorated in each university’s official colors. Each school has a maximum of two official school wraps, and Jamberry offers a variety of products customers can mix in with each of the collegiate wraps. Students and PRSSA members Valerie Bennett, Sara Yeager, Alexandra Valdez and Lacie Geary make up the WVU PRSSA Jamberry Competition Team. Advisors for the campaign include Debbie Bird as consultant advisor and Elizabeth Oppe as the faculty advisor. “Our Campaign is the ‘Women on the Go’ campaign,” said Lacie Geary, the vice president of internal relations for WVU’s PRSSA chapter. “Whether you’re a student running from class, to a study group, to a WVU event or a mom getting off work,

The re-score of ‘Drive’ features music from many alternative indie bands such as Bastille, Chvrches and Bring Me the Horizon. nouncement to fans. “The film in question was the modern classic ‘Drive,’ so of course my answer was yes. We wrote ‘Medicine’ for our chosen scenes.” “Medicine” is the first new single released by the band since its debut album, creating even more buzz amongst fans for the release of new music. The new track, similar to the band’s usual work, layers multiple tracks creating multidimensional sound with softly spoken lyrics. “Medicine” is more comparable to a lullaby than the band’s more popular alternative hits. “Having the opportunity to re-score a movie of which we were all familiar with provided us with a sense of knowing and allowed us to be slightly more introspective than we maybe would have been approaching something unknown,” Healy said. “I won’t delve into what the song is about lyrically, because frankly, I want to put those ideas to bed.” Of the other bands involved, Bastille has also
generated attention for its new song specially written for the film. Bastille’s musical addition to the film was the original song “The Driver,” a darker and more somber ballad than their typical musical style. The band played a live rendition of its new work on BBC Radio 1’ Live Lounge Sessions. Overall, the re-score curated by Lowe was seen by many as a flop and unnecessarily altered, but if anything the re-score brought about a surge of new indie music. Projects such as this rescore promote creativity in the music industry and an increased interest in growing artists in film. While many of the bands involved have gained notoriety solely through music, others can use film as a platform for greater artistic exposure and experience. The re-score of “Drive” can be watched on BBC Three or online at http:// bbc.co.uk/programmes/ b04p5k25 . daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

blown away by the vocal collaboration while they were rehearsing for the show on Monday. “We were backstage in our dressing room doing a vocal run-through with everybody and I was like, `These people sound great!’” McFee said, during an interview Tuesday at the Bridgestone Arena, where the awards show is held. Zac Brown Band, Sara Evans, Toby Keith and Blake Shelton all recorded new versions of Doobie Brothers songs for the album that was released Tuesday. But the band said they weren’t quite sure what to expect from country music’s young fans that
are tuning into the show. “After doing the rehearsal yesterday, we got an idea of what it’s like to be up there with the other folks and get a feel for it, but I think that’s really going to change when you’ve got a whole bunch of people in front of you,” said Johnston. “We just told them to lock the exits when we get on stage,” Simmons joked. The awards show caps several days of events in Nashville honoring its songwriters and performers, including the BMI country awards on Tuesday night, which will honor Vince Gill as an icon in country music.

WVU PRSSA will host a Jamberry party. Jamberry makes nail wraps in college colors, such as these WVU wraps. picking up the kids and heading to a WVU game, Jamberry collegiate nail wraps make it possible for these women on the go to have school spirit from fingertip to toenail within minutes and at a fraction of the cost.” WVU’s PRSSA has used many tactics to meet its goal of increasing overall brand awareness for Jamberry. As part of the campaign, the team created an exclusive line of WVU nail wraps. Jamberry demonstrated how to use Jamberry nail wraps in the Mountainlair, made WVU Jamberry signs at College Gameday and held a contest for a Jamberry prize at The Student LOT tailgate before the TCU game. The team also created an Instagram, @wvujamberry, in which followers of the account have the chance to win a Jamberry prize. The Working Women’s Wednesday Jamberry
Party is the main event for the “Women on the Go” campaign. Not only are PRSSA members trying to increase its brand at the event, but they also hope to contribute to an important cause. “We not only wanted to celebrate these women on the go with the Jamberry WVU collegiate line,” Geary said, “but also wanted all nail wrap proceeds to benefit a nonprofit organization, benefitting women as a whole in the area. One hundred percent of the nail wrap proceeds will benefit the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center (RDVIC).” Wraps will not only be available as prizes, but will be there to purchase as well. Anyone can attend the event, which begins at 4 p.m. today in The Vintage Room below Bent Willey’s. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

While a huge part of college is academics, there is more to college for most students than just going to class. Extracurricular activities, such as Greek life and clubs, play a role in the college experience. Beyond aspects directly related to West Virginia University, there is also an important social side to college. In an article entitled “Why Ph.D.s Shouldn’t Teach College Students,” published on time.com the author, Marty Nemko, presents an argument against the traditional university setting for educating students in America. Nemko argues that degrees now come with a high sticker price, yet little
has changed in years when it comes to the dynamic of college. Therefore, he calls not for improvements to the system, but a completely different system. This new system would include doing away with individual college campuses. Once this has been done, students would simply receive a degree from the Department of Education in the form of a U.S. bachelor’s degree. They would obtain these degrees through completing all online courses. This online system would be a cheaper and more accessible option for many students, and would in fact be a better option for some. It does not, however, ac-
count for the hands on work and experience which college provides outside the classroom. The Daily Athenaeum believes a degree from WVU is more than just the sum of the time you spent in the classroom. It is an experience you obtain with your fellow Mountaineers, which connects you to a network of alumni who have also had the chance to share this experience. While online communication is an important and integrated part of our lives in 2014, it would be hard to hold a club meeting via online chat. It would be even harder to coordinate a team practice or musical
production. Nemko offers the option for this. Students in geographically close regions being able to meet up at local theaters or community centers. While this is one way to socialize, many students will already be familiar with these same students who have been close to them their whole lives. This model does not allow for diversity in interactions. Part of the college experience is meeting new people and learning about other cultures. Students from other countries would be able to obtain a U.S. bachelor’s degree without ever stepping foot in the country.
School spirit can be found on any college campus to be a driving force and motivator for the student body. Having no school affliation would almost completely abolish this force. Social interaction is a huge part of preparing for the workforce. While some career paths may lead you to working from home, on a computer, many others still involve interactions with coworkers and whoever you work for. Being able to communicate face-to-face with a superior is, in part, taught through interaction with instructors, faculty advisors or coaches. Social skills are invaluable and should not
be underestimated in their importance. A degree is just one aspect of the bigger end goal for college: Being prepared for the workforce. We come to college in hopes we will come out the other end prepared to take our chosen field by storm. In order to do so, we need to be prepared in ways other than just knowledge obtainment. This model for change does not account for the significance of the “college experience.” As stated, we believe a physical campus is the best environment for truly experiencing higher education. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Local business essential for Morgantown community hannah chenoweth columnist @dailyathenaeum
All over America, clonelike corporate chains are replacing unique local restaurants. On a smaller scale, here in Morgantown , W.Va.,we’ve seen a Panera, CoGo’s, and the on-going saga of Sheetz construction. This is not a positive development; it is a problem. Local businesses are what keep a community’s heart beating. When someone is visiting Morgantown, do you direct them to the nearest Applebee’s or Chili’s? Absolutely not. More than likely, you rave about a local eat like Black Bear or The Boston Beanery, your favorite dish and maybe even your regular server. Small businesses are somethin everyone in the community can take pride in, and their survival depends upon the town’s
loyalty and patronage. For this reason, local business owners have a natural interest in the community. Unlike chains, they employ local services from advertising agencies to architects and contractors. When the money is spent locally, it stays in the community to reinvest in services and businesses within. The heart of the local economy isn’t the only thing kept healthy—it’s healthy for your own heart to support local business as well. No matter how much you crave the salty and fat-laden meals from chain restaurants, it is essentially pre-packaged food that is plopped in a microwave. When you eat at a local restaurant, you know that you are eating genuine, homemade food. James Barnhart, an employee at The Boston Beanery, has worked for familyowned restaurants all his life. When he got his first
amiba.net
job at a corporate restaurant, he was mind-blown. He believes local businesses are far better for both the employees and customers. “You have a relationship with your customers. At chains, you are pushed to push and be superficial. You lose the person while serving because it’s
all about ‘buy my food’,” Barnhart said. Barnhart values the fact that he knows all of his customers and there is a much more personal, family feel to local restaurants. A man at the Beanery happened to overhear my conversation with Barnhart and couldn’t help but chime in. Having recently
moved to Morgantown, he said he was impressed with the amount of local places with healthy, inexpensive options to choose from. It’s true Morgantown has a number of great eats to choose from—from Black Bear, The Bank, Mountain State Brewing Company, The Lebanese Bistro, Chic N’ Bones, and the recently
added Noodle Company and Morgan’s High St. Diner. There’s something to be said about the sense of community you feel when eating locally. At places like The Blue Moose Café and Jameson’s, there’s often free live entertainment. It makes me feel good to hear artists in West Virginia rather than sit through another round of the top 40 radio. I think a sense of community in general is something that is extremely important. Knowing local business owners and where your food actually comes from is a comforting feeling. How good does it feel to walk into a local restaurant and have them know your order right off the bat? Next time you head out to eat, take a minute to think about where you’d like to invest your money, time and health. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

For the love of gaming: The esports phenomenon across the globe johnny ngo university of illinois
In a few years, esports has grown exponentially all over the world. At the Season 1 Worlds event for League of Legends, the event was held in Sweden with a prize pool of $99,500 with eight teams qualifying. Just three years later, we have 16 teams participating in the Season 4 World Championship with a prize pool of $2,130,000 and a live audience of 40,000. Competitive video gaming has come a long way in it’s growth to becoming something people recognize. Even today with where esports is now, there is so much more that it can become.
DA
The New York Times has published a number of articles about the competitive League of Legends scene, calling League of Legends the “main attraction” of esports. ESPN 3 streamed the World Championship Finals Live, the same way they did with The International 4, the largest international tournament for Defense of the Ancients 2. Imagine Dragons collaborated with Riot Games to produce a song for the World Championship event entitled “Warriors.” Universities recognize the prestige and competition in esports, and are now offering scholarships for high level players. BBC published an article about the World Championship Finals event and the
popularity of the game. UIUC had almost 400 people attend a viewing party event on campus to watch the event live, which began at 2AM and ended at 6AM on Oct. 19, 2014. The list of accomplishments continue to go on. All of these accomplishments share a handful of common factors, one of them being the acknowledgement and recognition of the popularity of the game as well as the love for it from the players. This is seen in other games as well, such as the Super Smash Bros. Melee community has grown as well. Just in April of 2014, there was an approximate attendance of 30 people who attended a Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament hosted by the Illini Union Rec Room. Just a few
months later, they hold another event yielding almost four times the attendance of the prior event, with 125 participants in the tournament playing a 13-year-old game competitively. What is the relevance of all of this growth? What does this mean? Are more people spending more time playing video games? What significance does it have? With each baby step that esports takes, more people are aware of its legitimacy and they see esports as a community that will continue to grow. Those who are fans of watching big events like the 2014 World Championship Finals or regular season LCS matches might make their way to their local sports bars as opposed to having to stay at home to watch the
live streams. The beautiful thing is watching the growth of something as incredible as esports. It gives people a lot of opportunities to find themselves. People like myself found it difficult to find a love for something until esports came along. There’s nothing that makes me happier now than to do what I can to bring the love for gaming to UIUC. Just like in Super Smash Bros. Melee, these games create virtual worlds for people to become someone they may have never had the opportunity to become otherwise. For me, I found that in trading card games, the Legend of Zelda series and of course, League of Legends. From picks and bans of champions or stages, from
buffs to nerfs and patch to patch, esports continues to grow. No, gaming continues to grow as a scene, as a culture and for some, a way of life. Everyone deserves to be happy, to become someone that they can be happy with and to do what makes them smile. Esports creates an environment for people to smile when they play games, allowing them to look in the mirror and smile, proud to be a gamer. It’s surely incredible to see how far competitive gaming has come over the course of the past few years. However, no matter how big or small the game is, no gamer should be ashamed of themselves when they call themselves a gamer. As long as the love and passion exists, nothing else matters.

Bands come together for Guy Fawkes Day, Steampunk Night By Jillian Clemente A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum
Gary Copeland met a fellow, John Fanning, one bleak winter evening last year. That one evening changed his life and his act forever, and led Fanning to craft a truly one-of-a-kind five-string cigar box guitar for Copeland. Copeland, the one and only member of Spence’s Rye, is the opening act for tonight’s show with Eli August & The Abandoned Buildings. As for the name, Copeland likes it to remain mysterious. The name can be traced through paternal roots and the “rye” has several meanings, Copeland said, but it’s mostly a representation of the type of music he plays. “I just think the name put together would kind of evoke a sort of a feeling of an older time,” Copeland said. “I’ve gotten all my inspiration for the past two to three years from the 1860s to 1920s.” Currently, he’s working on an LP and writing all of his music with the old-time
feeling in mind. Part of the older type of music he currently plays is due to meeting Fanning last winter the cigar box guitar sounds much different than his old banjo. “I migrate anything in my repertoire to the fivestring cigar box guitar, and it gives it a completely different sound than the banjo,” Copeland said. “The cigar box guitar is lower and less shrill than the banjo. It kind of fit the overall, general oldtime handmade music of the people that I try to convey in my act.” The handcrafted cigar box guitar was made by Fanning of Bull Run Cigar Box Guitars, Copeland said, but he also has a few of his own handmade instruments all going at once while on stage. “I play a suitcase that I have converted into a bass drum which I operate with my right foot and my footoperated tambourine with my left foot,” Copeland said. He said he couldn’t have done this magical music journey he started three years ago without the support of his wife of 17 years and two children. “I don’t really do music

It’s already basically grown into more than I could’ve ever imagined three years ago but, by the same token, I don’t have any delusions that I’m gonna quit my day job. “It’s a rewarding career that allows me, in my free
time, to do some things that I enjoy as well. I’m just very fortunate.” In fact, while he was out celebrating his wife’s birthday, he received a phone call and was flattered to be asked to play with Eli & The Abandoned Buildings.

WVU defense carries the load After West Virginia’s 4533 loss to then-No. 4 Oklahoma back in September, an interesting question arose. The offense seemed to be hitting its stride, but was the defense playing catch up? In its two losses to Alabama and Oklahoma up to that point, West Virginia’s defense had allowed an average of 524 yards of total offense, including an average of 294.5 rushing yards. Although the shutout of Towson was encouraging, the Mountaineers’ defense appeared to be the weaker link. After West Virginia’s heartbreaking 31-30 loss to then-No. 7 TCU, the defense appears to be trending up, while the offense is trending down. In the five games following the loss to Oklahoma, the Mountaineers’ defense has held opponents to just 158.8 rushing yards per game and 218 passing yards per game. The unit held both TCU and Baylor to an average of 353.5 total yards of offense, including limiting both aerial attacks to an average of 194.5, which is well under both teams’ season averages. Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson’s unit has also been stellar on third down the past five games. Since allowing Alabama and Oklahoma to convert on 53 percent of third downs, Gibson’s defense has held opponents to just 23 percent on third down conversion attempts. West Virginia is No. 10 in the nation in third down conversion percentage. Although the Mountaineers were unable to put away a tough TCU team, the offense didn’t help the defense’s case. West Virginia turned the ball over five times, each time giving the ball to the Horned Frogs in WVU territory. The defense was able to keep TCU from scoring on three of its five possessions off turnovers, but surrendered two costly touchdowns in its attempt to consistently defend a short field. Although the defense forced a turnover on downs on the Horned Frogs’ second-to-last possession of the game with the Mountaineers clinging to a two-point lead, West Virginia’s final three offensive drives consisted of three three-and-outs and negative seven yards. West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen inevitably took the blame for his ultra-conservative play calling late in the game, but how long can Gibson and the defense keep bailing the offense out of trouble? Saturday night’s loss showed no single unit can be better than the other and expect to win – especially against a top-10 opponent. This loss stung the most for West Virginia fans because they’ve seen what this team is capable of when both units are synchronized at a high level. The task gets no easier this weekend against an improving Texas defense that held Texas Tech to just 13 points last weekend. Holgorsen and the offense need to get the problems plaguing this offense ironed out this week before traveling to Austin, Texas Saturday, or else the Longhorns could be in contention for an upset bid against the Mountaineers. I expect Gibson to have another great defensive game plan ready to go against a Longhorns’ offense that’s averaging just 21.7 points per game this season against Power-5 opponents. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia faces TCU in Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal matchup today By Ryan Petrovich Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum
It seems fitting that as the West Virginia women’s soccer team enters the Big 12 Tournament, its first matchup is against TCU. While the Mountaineers were never beaten in Big 12 play during the regular season, West Virginia’s game against the Horned Frogs yielded a draw. This game may have been the team’s most frustrating all season. The Mountaineers dominated in terms of shots on goal, out-shooting the Horned Frogs 29-6. “It was frustrating at times,” said head coach
Nikki Izzo-Brown. “Hopefully we’ll find a way to put the ball in the back of the net.” West Virginia will be searching for another Big 12 title. The motivation is already high, but playing TCU in the first round has added a little more spark to the game. Senior forward Kate Schwindel said she is eager to get a go at the Horned Frogs once more and she doesn’t want to end her senior season with a one-and-done in the Big 12 Tournament. “We’ve definitely seen them a bunch of times and they’ve given us trouble over the years,” Schwindel said. “It’s going to be a
good opening for the Big 12 Tournament for us.” TCU is looking to get back into the winning column. The Horned Frogs are riding a two-game losing streak. Losses to Texas Tech and Iowa State ended TCU’s regular season on a less than stellar note. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers call themselves Big 12 regular season champs and haven’t had a hiccup since meeting TCU in their first Big 12 game of the season. This will be the senior players’ last go-around in a conference tournament and they hope to avoid an upset against the Horned Frogs. “We don’t want to end it
after one game,” Schwindel said. “You never know what the rest of the season will bring, we want to end on a high note.” A conference tournament is familiar territory for Izzo-Brown and the rest of the Mountaineers. With multiple players having played in a Big 12 Tournament once before, the team will look at its veteran leadership for help throughout the games. “I’ve definitely leaned on them a lot this year,” Izzo-Brown said. “I would definitely say having experience in the Big 12 Tournament and NCAA Tournament would help these players.”
While leadership will be a crucial role during tournament play, Izzo-Brown said she hopes her team can just maintain its focus, as she doesn’t plan on preparing for the game versus TCU any differently than she has for any other game this season. “I don’t think we want to change things up too much,” Izzo-Brown said. “There has to be the understanding, it’s do or die. This team is pretty ready and we kind of approach it the same way.” West Virginia and TCU will square off in the Big 12 Tournament today at 11:30 a.m. in Kansas City, Mo. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
FOOTBALL
WVU must ‘get creative’ to get White involved By Connor Murray Sports Editor @ConnorKMurray
Through the first six games of West Virginia’s season, wide receiver Kevin White was setting the world on fire. Opposing defenses had seemingly no chance of stopping him, and he quickly rose up the rankings as one of the best receivers in college football. Football is a game of adjustments however, and after being the nation’s leading receiver for nearly half the season, White has fallen on hard times. If you ask him, he’ll say he knew it wasn’t going to be a cakewalk all season. “I just didn’t know when (teams would adjust). I didn’t know when they were going to do it, but I knew they were. They’re doing it now, so here we are,” White said. Teams have started to key in on him, committing to double coverage and taking the risk of letting someone else beat them, rather than letting White dominate in man-to-man coverage. In West Virginia’s last two games, that strategy has paid dividends for the defense. White has caught just six passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in the last two weeks. So, opposing defenses have made their move. The onus now lies on West Virginia’s coaching staff to find a way to get its most dynamic playmaker back into the swing of things. “He’s one of our better players. We’re going to do a good job as coaches this week of trying to identify ways to be able to be creative to get him involved
in other ways,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. Traditionally, White has been West Virginia’s deep threat this year. With the way opponents have been playing him recently, assigning a safety to roll over the top and keep him from getting behind the defense, bombing the ball down the field has been somewhat of a fruitless venture. “They put the safety over top of him. That’s a bad way to try to get him the ball down the field. We’ve got to do a better job of doing other things to get him involved. I take full responsibility for that,” Holgorsen said. With the deep ball being taken away, offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said it is up to the coaching staff to think outside the box in order to find a way to exploit different areas of the field. “We’ve had good receivers in the past and we’ve been creative. I think getting him the ball underneath, there are a lot of ways to get him the ball underneath, and we have to focus on that a little better. We can do a better job of being a lot more creative with him,” he said. It will take plenty of creativity this week, as West Virginia is set to go up against a Texas secondary that ranks No. 1 in the Big 12 in pass defense and gives up just 177.3 yards per game through the air. “From what we’ve seen on film, they’re a lot different than a lot of teams we’ve played. They’re a lot more single high (coverage), when most teams have always been two-high and put more emphasis on Kevin,” said quarterback Clint Trickett.
Will that be the remedy for White’s woes? We won’t know until Saturday. We do know that West Virginia needs to find a way to get back to what worked earlier in the season, getting White the ball early and often. “That’s up to the coaches to decide schemewise. If people are going to put two guys on him, then other people are going to be open and other facets of the game are going to be open. Still, you’re going to have to get the best players the ball. There’s a happy median between both,” Trickett said. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WVU looks ahead to matchup against Western Michigan

The road to the MAC Championship could run through Morgantown in 2014. The Mountaineers are on a hot streak to close the season, which has heightened their chances to host the MAC Championship at the end of the season. A four-game win streak has put West Virginia in the position they wanted to be in heading down to the
wire. After falling to 0-1-1 in the MAC after two games, the Mountaineers have defeated their last two MAC opponents by a combined 5-1 score. With only one MAC game remaining, the team is hoping for another win to bring the championship game to Morgantown. The Mountaineers currently sit in second place in the conference, only behind the Akron Zips. Western Michigan sits right behind the Mountaineers with an identical conference record
but a worse overall record. Akron will play two games this week. One will be against the team West Virginia upset two weeks ago, Penn State. They also will face conference opponent Buffalo Saturday. In perfect ironic fashion, the Mountaineers now need the team they just beat to help them out. The scenario can be complicated but ideally, the Mountaineers are hoping for two losses this week for Akron. Even if Akron loses against the Bulls, the Moun-
taineers have a must-win game Saturday against Western Michigan. Both teams are vying for the conference title and it is a must win for both teams. If Akron would lose Saturday to the Bulls, the winner of the West Virginia and Western Michigan game will get the right to host the title game. If it ends in a tie, Akron will remain atop the division. “Akron has to drop points, but all we can do is worry about ourselves,” said Coach Marlon LeBlanc. “We have
to go to Western Michigan and get the job done.” Senior forward Andy Bevin has been one of the biggest driving forces behind the team’s big streak to end the season. After scoring a hat trick to lead the team to a 3-0 victory last Saturday, Bevin believes the team is in good position to host the title. He also believes that if they would host it, they would own a huge advantage. “You saw that Buffalo didn’t want to play us on our turf. No team comes
here and dictates the game,” Bevin said. “If Akron slips up and drops a point, then I think it makes the game harder for them.” Akron beat the Mountaineers 3-2 earlier this season and revenge is a big factor in wanting to play them again. “We probably showed them too much respect at their place earlier in the season,” Bevin said. “We dominated the first 45 minutes last game, and it is about time we beat them.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Izzo-Brown earns third straight Coach of the Year award by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum
West Virginia women’s soccer isn’t only winning on the field, it’s also winning off the field. The annual Big 12 awards were handed out earlier this week and WVU earned three impressive honors. While West Virginia claimed its third straight Big 12 regular season championship, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown also earned her third straight Coach of the Year award.
“It is a huge honor to represent such a successful group of coaches,” IzzoBrown said in a release. “I’m honored that I was able to gain this group’s respect. Ultimately, this award is a reflection of what (associate coach) Lisa Stoia, (assistant coach) Marisa Kanela and (volunteer coach) Zach Johnson do each day to make this program a success.” Izzo-Brown has shaped the West Virginia women’s soccer program into something special throughout her 19 years as head coach.
The program’s winning ways are a direct translation of Izzo-Brown and her coaching methods. “I think she always expects the best out of us and she’s continuously pushing us to be the best player we can be,” said senior forward Kate Schwindel about her head coach. “She pushes me so much where I want to become a better player and do all I can do to be a good player.” Along with Izzo-Brown, sophomore, defender Kadeisha Buchanan earned her second-straight De-

fender of the Year award. The international soccer star has provided West Virginia with outstanding defense throughout this season and continues to improve each game. “Every year I try to get better,” Buchanan said. “I definitely try to improve. A game with not improving is a game wasted.” Izzo-Brown mentioned that during Buchanan’s freshman season she wasn’t aware of such awards and didn’t even know what an All-American was even though she was one.
“She leads by example,” she said. “Kadeisha is a great leader and (a) natural born leader for us.” Buchanan has balanced time between West Virginia and playing in her home country of Canada. The Mountaineers will continue to lean on her as they seek another Big 12 Tournament championship. Another player the Mountaineers have asked a lot of is freshman Michaela Abam. Abam was named Newcomer of the Year and is believed to be on the right path to being
one of the best players in the conference. “She’s going to be unbelievable by the time she’s a senior,” Schwindel said. “Her next three years she’s going to get better. Her strike is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. She’s going to be unbelievable.” Abam currently leads the team in goals with seven on the season and the team hopes she can continue to find the back of the net as they enter the Big 12 Tournament. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Hamlin: Most NASCAR drivers don’t respect Brad Keselowski CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Denny Hamlin thinks most drivers don’t respect Brad Keselowski, and the contempt stems from the 2012 NASCAR champion’s refusal to show any remorse for his aggressive driving. Hamlin spoke during a national conference call on Tuesday, two days after a brawl between Keselowski and Jeff Gordon on pit road at Texas Motor Speedway. Hamlin said the consensus among his peers was Keselowski didn’t have enough space to attempt a pass of Gordon in the closing laps of Sunday’s race. Keselowski’s bid to squeeze his car through a gap between Gordon and Jimmie Johnson after a restart led to contact between Gordon and Ke-
selowski, which triggered a post-race fight that left both drivers slightly bloodied. “I think the challenge a lot of drivers probably have right now with Brad is there’s no remorse,” Hamlin said. “He has the right to feel the way that he feels - but when there’s no accountability ... they’re going to be upset with you. “It’s tough to win a championship if nobody likes you. That is going to be a very, very tough task.” Hamlin and Keselowski infamously feuded for three seasons and it came to a head in 2009 when they tangled repeatedly on the track in the Nationwide Series. Hamlin complained repeatedly that Keselowski refused to engage in reasonable conversation
about their incidents. The two raced incidentfree for many years and had their first major scrap last month at Charlotte, where Keselowski lost his cool following the race. Hamlin had to be restrained from confronting him, and Matt Kenseth jumped Keselowski from behind in the darkened garage. Keselowski was fined $50,000 by NASCAR for his behavior, but Hamlin and Kenseth went unpunished. Keselowski then overcame a week of criticism from his peers to win at Talladega and advance into the third round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Then on Sunday, Keselowski used an aggressive move on Gordon to try to win the race.

Vikings’ Peterson avoids jail in plea agreement CONROE, Texas (AP) — Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson avoided jail time on Tuesday in a plea agreement reached with prosecutors to resolve his child abuse case. Peterson was indicted in September on a felony charge of injury to a child for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year in suburban Houston. The All-Pro running back says he never intended to
harm his son and was disciplining him in the same way he had been as a child growing up in East Texas. The boy suffered cuts, marks and bruising to his thighs, back and on one of his testicles, according to court records. The case revived a debate about corporal punishment, which is on the decline in the U.S. but still widely practiced in homes and schools. Under the agreement
approved by Montgomery County state District Judge Kelly Case and announced during a scheduled court hearing, Peterson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault. If convicted of felony child abuse, he could have faced up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine. A tentative trial date of Dec. 1 had been set in Peterson’s case. Peterson has been on
paid leave from the Vikings under a special exemption from the NFL commissioner to take care of his legal problems. It was not immediately clear how the plea deal would affect his playing status. Last month, a visiting judge denied a request by prosecutors to remove Case as judge in the case. Prosecutors had accused Case of being biased against them and wanted a new judge appointed.
The plea deal made moot a pending motion by prosecutors to revoke Peterson’s $15,000 bond for alleged marijuana use. Corporal punishment is legal in every state. The Texas Attorney General’s Office notes that belts and brushes “are accepted by many as legitimate disciplinary ‘tools,’” but “electrical or phone cords, boards, yardsticks, ropes, shoes, and wires are likely to be considered instru-
ments of abuse.” Texas law says the use of non-deadly force against someone younger than 18 is justified if a parent or guardian “reasonably believes the force is necessary to discipline the child or to safeguard or promote his welfare.”
