WVU PRESIDENT SEARCH

WVU searches for interim president By Carlee Lammers managing editor @CARLEELAMMERS

The West Virginia University Board of Governors held an emergency meeting Wednesday during which it voted to continue the search for an interim University President. James P. Clements, current University President, announced Monday he would be leaving WVU for Clemson University. Clements said he will leave Jan. 1.

During the meeting, the board passed two motions. The first motion allows BOG chairman James Dailey II to continue the interim president search. The BOG agreed to call a new meeting to order to approve Dailey’s candidate. The board noted the University’s interim president will not be a candidate for the full-time position. The second motion passed allows Dailey to immediately begin the preliminary steps to search

Panel encourages foreign aid participation By Evelyn Merithew Staff writer @DAILYATHENAEUM

A panel was held to discuss the United States’ role in the developing world Wednesday in the Mountainlair. “Extending a Hand: U.S. Efforts to Aid the Developing World,” included four panelists, all of whom are former Peace Corps volunteers. West Virginia University English professor Mark Brazaitis was the moderator. Brazaitis has worked as a Peace Corps volunteer, a technical trainer in Guatemala and a USAID contractor in Mexico. “It’s exciting to be able to bring to WVU dynamic panelists with a widerange of experiences in the developing world,”

However, while workers were furloughed, officials in Congress were deciding whether to pass a bill that would pay the workers on unpaid leave. In the end one such bill was passed. During the shutdown, there was no guarantee workers would be paid, but when the government reopened protesters were compensated for their leave.

Growth, infrastructure and traffic were some of the key words at Wednesday’s presentation by the West Virginia University Office of Facilities and Services. The presentation focused on the construction projects that are sprouting up throughout campus. Presenters said the projects, which range from more student housing to the shuffling of key WVU services, are all proceeding, and are expected to be transformational to the campus. Many of these major projects are funded through Public Private Partnerships, which allows for private capital to be utilized in the expansion of the University. John Sommers, a project manager with Design and Construction, said PPPs are not only necessary but are a good deal for the University. “(The University) owns the land but they (the private entities) have all the construction development costs and basically all the risk,” Sommers said. “There will be different mixes in terms of how we’ll manage them, but (in the end) we get the benefit of increased student housing. Overall I think it’s a good partnership.” Some of the major housing areas being developed under PPP schemes include University Place, University Park, and College Park projects.

WVU PRSSA scores big at national conference BY Alyssa Pluchino Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

West Virginia University’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) was awarded 2013’s PRSSA Star Chapter Award at the PRSSA National conference in Philadelphia. The WVU PRSSA chapter was one of 27 universities

to receive this prestigious recognition out of the 300 schools that qualified. “Winning (the) national awards is an amazing feeling, but nothing is more rewarding than watching a new member become inspired by PRSSA just as I was three years ago,” said Brittany Lavenski, president of WVU’s PRSSA chapter. “I love watching the future leaders of our organization

be professionally molded by their involvement within the organization, and nothing will ever beat that.” To receive this award, each chapter must complete a total of eight goals throughout the year. WVU’s PRSSA had achieved nine of the 10 objectives required, which included completing a community service project, implementing a national

initiative and also attending a national conference, national assembly, regional conference or leadership rally. Aside from receiving national recognition for their efforts, the conference also gave PRSSA members an opportunity to learn from PR professionals and gain valuable insight they will use when they work in the industry.

Continued from page 1 In addition to project funding, construction officials highlighted the expansive scope of what they are trying to accomplish through each project. Robert Moyer, director of Facilities Planning and Scheduling, briefly expanded upon some of the main perks of three of the projects. Moyer said one major project, Evansdale Crossing, will see many commonly utilized student services moved to the Evansdale campus, such as the Office of the Registrar. Moyer said Evansdale Crossing will be built near the Student Recreation Center and will connect the lower ground with the Engineering PRT station and surrounding area. “It really provides an opportunity for students to park near the recreation centers, take the elevators, and get to the upper part of campus near engineering,” Moyer said. “(Additionally), it will have food services, the bookstore from towers will be moved in there, and we’ll have some general purpose classrooms,” Another major project is the complex being built next to the Student Recreation Center. Moyer said while the complex looks like one long building, it is actually two, each intended for a separate yet complimentary function. One side of the complex will house Student Health and Wellness while the other side will serve as the new home for the College of Physical Activities and Sports Sciences as well as several other academic

ATLANTA (AP) — The Central Intelligence Agency has declassified 1,400 pages of intelligence surrounding the Camp David Accords, the historic peace treaty negotiated in 1978 by then-President Jimmy Carter with the leaders of Israel and Egypt. Carter, now 89, said Wednesday in Atlanta that the documents helped him grasp the full sweep of Middle East tensions in that era, convinced him U.S. diplomatic expectations were too low and steeled his resolve to seek a full-fledged treaty between Egypt and Israel – and nothing less. A leading achievement of Carter’s foreign policy, the accord led then-Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and then-Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to share the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978 for the first treaty between the Jewish state of Israel and one of its Arab neighbors. The documents released this week include political and personality profiles of Sadat and Begin that Carter read before the 13-day summit at the Camp David presidential retreat in rural Maryland. There also are transcripts of U.S. National Security Council sessions; summaries of key meetings, including conversations among the heads of state; and analyses of undercurrents among Mideast nations that still reverberate in the region. The papers cover the period from January 1977 to March 1979, from the months before the summit to the following spring when Egypt and Israel signed the peace treaty that emerged from the outline forged at Camp David. The deal did not curtail Israeli occupation of the West Bank, but it ended open hos-

functions. “It’s a really neat combination of teaching on the academic-student affairs side and the recreation component on the other,” Moyer said. “So, you can get health and wellness tips from one building and then you can learn (about health) through the academic functions in the CPASS department.” Moyer said the moving of Student Health and Wellness will provide a major benefit to students, as it is a more centralized location. “It really starts to bring student health functions towards the core of the campus, it puts them footsteps away from 2,000 student housing beds,” Moyer said. Moyer said the complex will have a small quad outside for students to relax, as well as a pharmacy inside for prescription needs. Moyer said a third major component of the overall plan is the improvement and expansion of student housing. “The question is about how we transition students outside of freshman housing to places that are outside of campus but not so far that students would have to drive in or take a bus,” Moyer said. Several Evansdale community members attended the meeting and raised concerns about the side effects of these projects on the area, particularly in regard to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Moyer said the University is working to try to mitigate some of the potential issues. “We’re trying very hard to move parking to the perimeter (of campus) to avoid some of the traffic that’s go-

ing around the campus as it stands right now,” Moyer said. “(Additionally) we’re doing a lot with our general education classrooms so students don’t have to go back and forth from downtown to Evansdale.” Suzanne McDonald, president of the Evansdale Neighborhood Association, said many community members are concerned about exacerbating existing traffic problems. “We’re very concerned about the new University Park project; we’re worried lots of pedestrians will be crossing University Drive (where) there is no light,” McDonald said. “We see a big problem and we don’t want to see a tragedy. University Park is a housing project in the relatively early stages of planning which will see the addition of around 1,000 beds in the area to the right of Pierpont Apartments. McDonald said the addition of the housing complex has the potential to cause major gridlock and safety concerns on University Drive. McDonald said it is likely these problems will indeed be seen in light of the fact underclassmen most likely will be headed toward classrooms near Towers. “We envision this creating bumper to bumper traffic down University Drive,” McDonald said. “We want the pedestrian issue to be dealt with now and not after it becomes a problem.” For more information regarding construction projects on the WVU campus, visit http://construction. wvu.edu/projects.

Hickey speculated congressional Republicans were using the shutdown as leverage to de-fund the Affordable Health Care Act. “The craziest part is, the Affordable Health Care Act, the whole reason they shutdown the government, it kept going on as planned because it’s a permanently funded thing,” Hickey said. “The Affordable Care Act was not affected at all during this government shutdown.” Dr. Hickey also explained the debt ceiling. He said he observed the debt ceiling as being similar to a credit card limit set by Congress to prevent excessive spending that will hurl the country into a for-

eign territory of debt that will be difficult to come back from. “The debt ceiling is a way more serious problem than the government shutdown,” Hickey said. “It is something to be a lot more concerned about.” The CSSA was able to learn more about several of the complicated problems the U.S. faces. “I think all of us learned a lot from this talk and now we know more about the U.S. politics system,” Wang said. “Our mission is to serve not only Chinese students and scholars but also all West Virginia University students.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Judy said there are two motivations to getting involved in the Peace Corps: the desire to help, and a desire for adventure. “It’s both selfish and idealistic. You want to see the world and do something that’s different but also be of service. One thing the Peace Corps does for you is give you experience well beyond what you would be able to in the U.S.,” Judy said. “It builds your self confidence so that when you return, you look for things that need to be done and you have the confidence to say ‘I know a way to solve that problem.’” Connie M.

tilities between Sadat’s and Begin’s countries. Begin also withdrew Israeli troops from the Sinai peninsula and Sadat opened the Suez Canal to Israeli ships. The collection suggests an American administration that knew the president faced a balancing act. “You will have to control the proceedings from the outset,” Carter’s National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote in one memo to Carter. In a January 4, 1977, assessment, the CIA suggested that developments in the region – including the reconciliation of Egypt and Syria, a “more durable” ceasefire in Lebanon and Saudi eagerness for “progress on the Arab-Israeli dispute” – made conditions ripe for “the launching of a major Arab peace offensive led by Egypt and Syria and backed by Saudi Arabia.” A secret National Intelligence Estimate around the same time cited a reduction in Soviet arms deliveries in the aftermath of the 1973 war and “Israel’s substantial military build-up” that resulted in “a relative diminution of Egypt’s ability to wage war against Israel.” An August 16, 1978, intelligence cable, shortly before the Camp David talks began, observed that Saudi Arabia was signaling to its Arab allies support for such negotiations “and trying to persuade them to withhold comment on the meeting ... until the outcome is known.” Carter paid a visit to CIA headquarters in August 1978 to help prepare for the talks. “President Carter ... indicated that he wanted to be ‘steeped in the personalities of Begin and Sadat,’” said a CIA document written after the summit.

Carter recalled Wednesday that he was particularly interested in the pressures and quirks that drove Begin and Sadat: “What were their strengths and weaknesses? What were there attitudes toward me? ... What did they say about the United States and each other privately?” Brzezinski wrote to Carter, “Sadat cannot afford a failure and he knows it; both Sadat and Begin think that you cannot afford failure; but Begin probably believes that a failure at Camp David will hurt you and Sadat, but not him.” The CIA’s analyses described Sadat, then 59, as “a former revolutionary and ardent nationalist ... a moderate leader and a pragmatic politician and diplomat.” “He has become known for his realism, political acumen and capacity for surprising, courageous and dramatic decisions,” said the CIA profile. As to Begin, 65 at the time, CIA analysts had written: “The situation is complicated by the uncertain state of Begin’s health. Despite the denials of his doctor that he is seriously ill, both coalition and Labor Party leaders are already jockeying for position in the succession sweepstakes.” Carter said the analyses suggested the two men’s personalities might dictate speaking with each leader separately. Begin – Carter recalled – was obsessed with minutia, while Sadat preferred to talk in generalities, often involving long discourses on history. Brzezinski told Carter in an Aug. 31, 1978 memo: “The risk is that you could lose control of the talks and be diverted from the central issues either by Begin’s legalisms or Sadat’s imprecision.”

into the Peace Corps thinking gender-based violence would become her area of expertise. “Something you learn in the Peace Corps: you don’t walk in with an agenda. You learn that you listen to people. The villagers came to me once they’d gotten to know me and had built a trust with me saying ‘I don’t understand (why this gender violence) is happening,’” Kamara said. Kamara said in the villages she worked in, the discussion of sex is such a sensitive topic the villagers had her lay with her nose on the ground for four hours just to humble her before she was permitted to speak about sex. She said in the more than 20 years she worked overseas, she never had any backlash. Kamara also led the development of a renowned global participatory video media project focused on gender based violence in many countries. “The women (from Pakistan and Afghanistan) came to us and the messages (in the video) are coming from the people by the people with their own approach. They had brilliant ideas, they just needed a place where they could voice and generate those ideas,” Kamara said. The fourth panelist, Joshuah Marshall, served in the Peace Corps in Morocco from 2007-09. He worked with the Min-

istry of Health on programs and training of community associations and medical staff around maternal/ child health, hygiene and sanitation. He currently is a program analyst with Tribal Tech, LLC. “I don’t think you can really prepare yourself for the Peace Corps. This is a community-based development. If you identify a sector of the Peace Corps and volunteer opportunities, you learn the skills through community organization,” Marshall said. On the issue of foreign aid, Dane said there is typically a common misconception. When U.S. citizens are asked in a survey how much they think the country spends on foreign aid from our federal budget, the answer is around 25 percent. The country actually only spends about two percent on foreign aid. “Foreign aid is a useful tool and we’ve been particularly successful in the area of health. The amount of assistance that has gone into HIV/Aids and into malaria is having a major impact around the world,” Smith said. “You will benefit from the lessons learned overseas. The Peace Corps helps you develop your own resources to find out what you have inside you. It’s great leadership training.”

tunities,” Lavenski said. “It sounds cheesy, but the organization really helped me find myself and define the type of person I am both personally and professionally. “By taking initiative and taking advantage of the many opportunities available within PRSSA, it has given me so much confidence in my abilities, and I owe a lot of who I am to this organization.” To learn more about PRSSA at WVU, visit http:// prssa.studentorgs.wvu.edu.

Haggard Wulf guitarist and vocalist Chris Shuttlesworth plays at 123.

Those who braved the cold Tuesday evening into the wee hours of Wednesday were treated to another rocking show at 123 Pleasant Street. The lineup consisted of three bands: The Furr, Cellular Chaos and Haggard Wulf. The Furr was the first band to take the stage. This Morgantown-based band has a sound best described as a healthy mixture of garage rock and psychedelic rock. The lead singer, Eli Pollard, said The Talking Heads, Guided by Voices and Jimi Hendrix are inspirations for the band. The use of sound effects often synced with the singer’s voice and created some intense effects on the vocals. The words and the sounds would often overlap, creating strange alternate pitches and vocal sounds that worked

dances on stage, even coming down into the crowd occasionally, providing the effect that she is being pushed and pulled by the music. The guitarist displayed some of this movement, too. On their Facebook page, Cellular Chaos calls themselves “loud, dissonant.” And this proved to be quite true. At first the band seems to just be making noise, but upon closer inspection, it is actually revealed to be carefully thought-out and orchestrated. The dissonant noise is actually just the type of energy they are projecting through their music. It’s fast, emotional and messy but in a great way. The final band of the evening was Haggard Wulf. This Morgantown group consists of only two members and has been playing for more than four years. Still, they have an enormous sound. Haggard Wulf is best described as a blues-punk band. Their musical inspirations include a lot of metal and clas-

quite well with the music. Many of the group’s songs sounded like they came straight from ‘80s sci-fi cartoons and movies. The band’s performance also featured a projector screen displaying various moving images. Landscape images with color filters, closeups of everyday items like playing cards and much more moved around behind the band as they continued their set. This added to the band’s overall garage feel. It is very clear that a lot of thought goes into their live shows. “It’s fun and freeing, and you can share it,” Pollard said. “It’s a good outlet.” The second band to perform was Cellular Chaos. This band was all about creating a high-energy live performance. The guitar and drums were heavy, and the musicians physically threw themselves into the songs, creating a mix between metal and performance art. The singer constantly twists around and

sic rock, with interests ranging from Slayer to Johnny Cash and Black Sabbath to The Who and The Rolling Stones. This wide range of influences is evident in their music, as Haggard Wulf is definitely rock and bluesy, but there are also other genres mixed in that make them a band quite difficult to categorize. You can tell they enjoy what they do, as well. The group’s electric energy projected into the audience as well. Their stage banter is genuine, casual and funny, and you feel like you are already close friends with these guys as soon as they begin to play. As always, 123 Pleasant Street put on an excellent and exciting show. Despite the cold trek downtown, the show was worth it. This evening particularly showcased how varied and talented Morgantown’s musicians are. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

WVUp All Night to host relaxation weekend, offer free massages BY JAKE JARVis A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

End of the semester stress wearing you down? Already freaking out about finals? West Virginia University’s Up All Night will host a relaxing weekend for students who are stressed out as the fall semester comes to a close. “Our students are heading into finals, and we wanted to provide them with a relaxing weekend before they begin cramming and studying during the most difficult week of this semester,” said Sonja

Wilson, director of WVUp All Night. Wilson, along with a team of 10 interns on the Up All Night Programming Board, plan the events for and work diligently to provide events students will enjoy and benefit from. In the past, Up All Night has hosted obstacle courses, laser tag, a Zombie Apocalypse Shoutout Attack and even performances from the WVU Comedy Club. This weekend the Up All Night program features aromatherapy, an Oxygen Bar and massage therapy. The Oxygen Bar is an experience unlike any other.

Up to four students at a time can sit down and take in 95 percent pure oxygen, choosing from five tantalizing aromas. “The Oxygen Bar uses a concentrator, which filters out the nitrogen and other gases in the air circulating in the room,” Wilson said. Students are curious but excited about the coming weekend’s events. “I’m really excited about the aromatherapy,” said Jessilyn Lawson, theatre design technology student. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to check out.” The massage therapy should prove to be a big crowd pleaser, as well.

Lady Gaga saturates market with ‘ARTPOP’ (AP) — There’s just one way to escape the blitz surrounding Lady Gaga’s new album: completely unplug from society. To kick off the release of her new album, “Artpop,” this week, the entertainer, never known for understatement, has been omnipresent. She began with a huge release party Sunday where she debuted Volantis, billed as the “world’s first flying dress.” She floated about 6 feet above the floor before performing at the event, streamed live on Vevo. The next day, she opened pop-up “Artpop” stores in New York and Los Angeles, where Gaga-related merchandise was sold, and she was one of the main honorees at Glamour’s Women of the Year ceremony. On Wednesday, she was due to appear at the opening of an H&M store in New York’s Times Square. She’s scheduled to tackle hosting and performance duties on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” and she redesigned the Life section logo of USA Today in her image – the first time the newspaper has had a celebrity do so. The newspaper also featured an interview with the superstar. And a concert special with Ryan Seacrest is set to air on the CW Network next week. Gaga’s publicity push leading up to the debut of “Artpop” could be described much like the singer herself - eye-catching, unique, daring and, of course, over the top. It comes amid mixed reviews for the album, the departure of her longtime manager and questions about whether Gaga-mania might be on the wane outside her core Little Monsters. The album’s first sin-

gle, “Applause,” remains a top 10 hit, but was considered a bit of an underperformer compared with her previous hits. Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, thinks folks wondering if the 27-yearold is approaching her expiration date are missing the point. “She’s presenting an artistic view of pop music that’s a lot more challenging than anything else that’s even approaching the top of our charts now. She is risking her top success for the sake of art, and I think a lot of people don’t get that,” Werde said after viewing Sunday’s show online. “You have to really appreciate how conservative most pop fans are in the world. They don’t necessarily want their music dipped in art. They don’t want to see pop stars come out for a performance wearing a terrifying scarecrow mask,” he added. It’s what we’ve come to expect from Gaga, however. Her career has been as much about performance art as music. After all, this is the woman who has paraded around in a dress made of meat, assumed a male alter-ego for an awards show, arrived at another in an egg and stripped naked onstage in Europe last month. “She’s definitely one of the most iconic artists that we have on the planet,” said hitmaker David Guetta, who worked with Gaga on her new album. “I like the way that she works because she’s just an artist. I don’t see her as belonging to one school. She’s just art. Even though it’s pop music and it can some time have emotional (aspects), pop can also be very commercial. And I like the way that she’s doing pop in a very artistic way.”

Some have questioned how much her approach resonates these days, especially when Miley Cyrus draws weeks of headlines by twerking onstage at the MTV Video Music Awards. Gaga’s performance at that show barely rated a blip at the water cooler the next morning. Gaga’s suppor ters, though, warn against viewing her in the short term. They believe she’s built something more durable. Kid Kelly, SiriusXM’s vice president of music programming, hosted an interview session with Gaga last week that drew an eclectic crowd that ranged from pre-teen to middle age. “She has a vision for what she does as an artist, but not necessarily like you’re on the assembly line of creating formulaic hits,” Kelly said. “She’s a genius, the way she presents, the way she acts, the way she’s thinking constantly about innovating and re-innovating herself, the way she is very, very forward thinking. She understands her audience I think better than most people give her credit for.” “Artpop” is Gaga’s fourth full-length album, and comes after a forced hiatus. A hip injury sidelined her and forced her to cancel her tour last year. In a brief interview before her Sunday performance, Gaga said that time off gave her some perspective. “You know what I realized? That I don’t need to reinvent myself. What I realized is that in your lifetime, if you have one really great idea, run with it. And run all the way to outer space if you can,” she said. “If you believe in yourself and you work hard, rehearse and have discipline, these ideas could take us to the moon.”

dents can get a 10-15 minute free massage to help reduce their stress and tension accumulated from the semester. “On-site chair massages relax but more importantly revitalize, restoring mental clarity and a feeling of well-being,” Wilson said. Many students agree a massage is exactly what they need after the stress of the semester. “A free massage would be great,” said Jessica Willard, a nursing student. “I’ve been so stressed out because of my anatomy class, and this is just what I need.” Massage therapy is used

worldwide as a way to help reduce stress, but some experts in the field said it might have additional health benefits. According to LiveStrong ’s website, “massage also helps you feel that you’re in control over your health and plays an active role in managing chronic illnesses.” As an even bigger incentive, students who attend the festivities have the possibility of winning a free iPad and iPad Mini Saturday night. Students can enter to win just by attending and signing up with the Up All Night staff. The Resident Hall As-

sociation is extending the Up All Night festivities by having an ice skating rink in front of the Student Recreation Center from 7-10 p.m. This is particularly great for students living on the Evansdale Campus who might not have the opportunity to commute downtown. “Students, again, should expect a relaxing experience,” Wilson said.

Obamacare website bugs disappoint Since its Oct. 1 launch date, only 3 percent of the target population of 1.4 million Americans have successfully signed up for Obamacare through the official website, Healthcare.gov. Within hours, the site was overloaded and crashed. The site was originally intended to help people sign up for health insurance or redirect them to a local site. But when users attempted to create an account, they were forced to wait. The drop-down menus for security questions were blank, and they then received a message stating the service was unavailable. These bugs, among others, have yet to be fixed. And not only were Americans unable to sign up for new insurance, more than 12 million have been sent cancellation notices, because their policies didn’t meet Obamacare requirements. In recent releases, the White House has claimed the insurance exchange freezes when more than 20,000 people attempt to use it at the same time, which is approximately half of the intended capacity. Government workers and technical staff have been racing to fix the bugs (six out of every 10 created) but have conceded the site will not likely be up and running by the end of November. However, as far as President Obama is concerned, the website will be functional before then. Speaking in Dallas a week ago, President Obama said, “The website is already bet-

The Obamacare website has been wrought with problems since its launch on October 1st. ter than it was at the beginning of October, and by the end of this month, we anticipate that it is going to be working the way it is supposed to, all right?” Unfortunately, no one has any clue how to form a strategy to fix the issues. Secretary of Health Kathleen Sebelius said in Atlanta

Friday no specifics have come about for addressing the insurance cancellations, and the White House said solutions should include telling customers who’ve lost their plans about other available options. Americans whose policies have changed since the law was enacted in 2010 are

required to get new coverage that meets the mandates. And even though insurance providers are legally allowed to cancel policies due to preexisting conditions or mental health issues, some companies are terminating policies for more unfounded reasons, such as withdrawing from

states where there are fewer subscribers in an attempt to save money. Obama’s response to the fiasco? “We didn’t do a good enough job in terms of how we crafted the law, (which is something) I regret,” he said in an interview with NBC News.

The most widely effective way to sign up for insurance is faulty, during a time when millions are people are suddenly uninsured. Clearly the government needs to get it together, and it needs to happen soon, no matter the cost. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

op-ed commentary

Living in a meatless world, reducing meat intake emily torbett guest columnist

For the past several months, I have been on a vegetarian diet. What started as a personal challenge became a complete lifestyle overhaul, and I couldn’t be happier and healthier. The only problem I have come across is the obvious discomfort that can arise when one is eating with non-vegetarians. Many – my immediate family included – tend to think I believe everyone should eat a diet similar to my own. In many cases, friends and family around the dinner table have become immediately defensive, without me ever going so far as to question their eating habits. The most

common statement that I hear is, “I could never be a vegetarian! I like bacon too much!” Although I choose to eat a certain way, I know that a diet of full-fledged vegetarianism may not be for everyone. However, all of us can directly benefit from reducing our meat intake. Eating meat with every meal has become the American norm in the past century. In fact, it is so normal that most of us feel our meal is lacking something without it. In 1909, Americans consumed only 9.8 billion pounds of meat. In 2012, Americans consumed a staggering 52.2 billion pounds of meat, an increase of about 423 percent. The average American eats more than 270 pounds of meat every year. This

is higher than almost any other country on the planet. Producing all of this meat is no simple task. There are more than 10 billion land animals raised for food in the United States every year. Making a single quarter-pound hamburger takes 6.7 pounds of grain and forage, 52.8 gallons of drinking water to irrigate and feed crops, 74.5 square feet of land for grazing and growing feed crops and 1,036 BTU’s of fossil fuel energy (about enough to power a typical microwave for 18 minutes) for feed production and transport. Not only does meat production require extensive resources, it also produces a massive amount of waste. The USDA estimates factory farming produces 335 million tons of manure a year, most of which ends up run-

ning off into streams and contaminating our water supply or is stored for long periods of time in tanks or lagoons. Decomposition of animal waste produces more than 400 different gasses, many of which are hazardous to the environment and our health. Tons of carbon dioxide, which figures at about hundreds of millions, are released into the atmosphere every year due to factory framing. Growing feed, storing animals in sheds that require heating, cooling and ventilation, and slaughtering and packaging animal products leave a huge carbon footprint. We often hear of global warming as being caused by our cars, planes and trains, but factory farming produces more greenhouse gases than our country’s

entire transportation system. Lowering our demand for meat could greatly reduce damage done to our environment. Even with all of these facts and figures, as well as the knowledge we already have about how inhumane factory farming is, it still might be difficult for many of us to see what good could come to us for cutting out meat. However, eating meatless meals can directly benefit the average college student. Many of us are on limited budgets, and since meat is often the most expensive part of a meal, eating vegetarian can help save money. Replacing meat with proteins such as beans and tofu, even twice a week, can help save you hundreds of dollars per year. Combating the “fresh-

man 15” or any amount of excess weight gain doesn’t have to be done exclusively at the gym. Watching what you put on your plate can play just as much (if not more) a part in your health. Oxford researchers have found vegetarians and vegans tend to have body weights that are 3-20 percent lower than those of meat eaters. You don’t have to be a full vegetarian to receive some of the benefits associated with a vegetarian diet. Let’s face it. Even I remember bacon, and that stuff is heaven on earth. However, losing the meat, even just for few nights a week, is doable for anyone. Occasional vegetarianism is sustainable, economically beneficial, and healthy. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Prof. Daniel Brewster’s influence on WVU community david schlake columnist

In the fall semester of my sophomore year, I took a class with arguably the most outspoken professor at West Virginia University. Not only has he given his unfiltered opinion to thousands of students, but he has also been the most influential person I’ve had the privilege to meet since arriving here in 2011. My older brother, who will graduate from WVU in December, was the first person who told me about Daniel Brewster. I was still in high school when I asked him how college classes were, and the only thing he ever seemed to

talk about was Brewster and his remarkably entertaining style of teaching. He would tell me, “This guy just doesn’t care what anyone thinks about his opinion. He says literally whatever is on his mind.” Later, he would add, “Yet, I’ve learned more from him than any other teacher I’ve ever had.” He told me countless stories about him and strongly recommended I take Brewster’s class once I came to WVU. By the time I got to WVU, I was dying to meet him. However, he hasn’t only had an impact on my brother. He’s had an impact on the entire University. Brewster is arguably more involved in the WVU community than anyone

else here, and I couldn’t name a single student who doesn’t know who he is. My biggest fear was I wouldn’t agree with him on political topics and his reputation for being slightly radical would bother me. I took Sociology 101 with him to fill a GEC requirement, but by the end of it, I was looking at potentially majoring in sociology or criminology; yes, I enjoyed Brewster’s class that much. It was surprising, because even though I definitely didn’t agree with every political view he shared, I could understand his position on every controversy that came up. Brewster knows how to speak and spread his own knowledge effectively. Not

only that, he’s a very intelligent person, and he knows what he is talking about, even if I don’t hold the same position in every debate. The biggest influence he had on me as a person – and I imagine he has this effect on his other students, too – is the way I perceive people and how they appear in our society. After taking his class, I had a whole new outlook on how lucky I was and how much of an advantage I had been given by having the opportunity to go to school. Since then, I’ve always had at least one job to pay for expenses to help ease the slack on the reins of my parents’ finances, and I’ve pulled my grades up

substantially. Had I not taken Brewster’s class, I don’t know if I’d be looking at things in quite the same way. Obviously when you go to college, especially if you go away to college like me, you’re going to see a lot of diversity: lifestyles, race, wealth and most of all, opinions. So, I was expecting many of my views to be altered after leaving my small hometown to go to school in another state. But, even though I’ve been influenced by more people than I probably even realize, no one has ever had the impact on the way I look at society and the value of life the way Brewster did. The crazy part is I could probably think of 40 or 50

other students who I’ve met in college who would say exactly the same thing. Whether they were someone who was involved with a community project he was a part of, someone who took part in an activist event he held or strongly supported or someone who just took his class, there are a lot of people at this University who have been affected by Brewster in a very similar way. I’ve heard rumors he’s thought about going on to do different things with his life in the near future, but I hope that, for the future students of WVU, he doesn’t. Few could bring as much to the school as he does. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year your creativity surges; however, every once in a while there could be a lull. Your intuition comes through in all ventures, especially risky ones. If you are single, you could find it challenging to find a match who is on the same wavelength, but you will have fun dating. If you are attached, you seem to have a sixth sense about your sweetie. Still, know that you will not always be right. Listen to your sweetie and understand where he or she might be coming from. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You see a situation differently from how others see it. What has been hazy could become crystal clear through others’ actions. Ex-

press your concern in a way that it can be received. Opportunities might emerge from a real-estate matter. Tonight: Get into weekend mode. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You could be more aware of what a friendship offers you as opposed to your idealistic dreams. Reality can be harsh at first. You will want to take your time integrating your feelings. Don’t take action or make a decision until you have adjusted. Tonight: Get some R and R. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Aim for more of what you would want, and treat it as though others are not actively making requests of you. A boss or parent could reveal a new side of him- or herself that you need to acknowledge. Others might not be as clear as you would like. Tonight: Out and about.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You are in a position to take action, but a question remains unresolved in your mind. Think about what you want. Make decisions only when you have all the facts at hand. You don’t need to make an error. Tonight: Get extra work done. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You’ll see a partner in a new light. You might feel as if a veil has been dropped, and you can see the real person now. As you digest all this newness, you might experience quite a few feelings. You actually do like what you see; you simply need to adjust. Tonight: Out on the town. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Deal with others directly, and understand that you could get several mixed messages. You will gain insight

into a particular group of friends involved in a common interest. Opportunities abound. Follow the advice of a trusted friend. Tonight: Go for togetherness. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Others appear to be very strongwilled, no matter what your choices are. If you could change the direction of a situation, where would you go? You might be pleasantly surprised if you share your thoughts. Others will join in on your ideas. Tonight: Be with your best friend. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You could be experiencing a reversal with a child or loved one. What you are seeing is that your perception of what might be going on is very different from reality. Take it all in, but get busy in order to prevent any obsessive behavior from happening. To-

night: Get errands done first. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Listen to news with an open mind. Someone close to you might have a skeleton in his or her closet. You recently might have seen some signs of this well-kept secret. You will want to understand more of what is going on. Stay open. Tonight: Be spontaneous. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Note if your sixth sense is improving. If so, you might want to be more willing to follow your intuition. You will see excellent results, as you often pick up on what is happening around you on a subconscious level. Tonight: Make weekend plans. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Stopping you could be diffi-

cult, as you are on mission. You have a lot on your plate and a desire to complete as much as possible. A discussion might not mesh well with what you are feeling. Do little and observe a lot. Tonight: Hang out with friends and loved ones. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH You see an item that you really want. You might have difficulty saying “no.” As you look at your budget, you could question the value of making the purchase. Make sure that you really want this thing. Confusion surrounds your finances. Tonight: Your treat.

The Devil Makes Three rocks MET

photos by ERIN IRWIN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Devil Makes Three is an American band that performs a blend of punk, folk and bluegrass. Guitarist Pete Bernhard, upright bassist Lucia Turino, and guitarist and tenor banjo player Cooper McBean perform at The Metropolitan Theatre Wednesday night.

by Charles young COPY EDITOR

California based trio The Devil Makes Three stopped by Morgantown’s Metropolitan Theatre last night and treated the packed audience to a heaping home-cooked helping of Americana. DM3, comprised of guitarist Pete Bernhard, upright bassist Lucia Turino, and banjo player Cooper McBean, have been making a name for themselves over the past decade as some of the finest purveyors of traditional roots music’ performing today. Their style draws elements from numerous genres, including bluegrass, country, folk, blues, jazz, ragtime and rockabilly. This gumbo of sound, known to DM3 diehards as “folk punk,” contains a little something for everyone. From folk purists and bluegrass traditionalists to fans of modern rock and contemporary

country, there is a little something in the mix for everyone. DM3’s gig at the Met was one of the first stops on their latest tour, supporting their recently re l e a s e d f ou r t h a l bum, “I’m a Stranger Here.” The tour will next take the group to the legendary Pittsburgh venue Mr. Smalls, before they continue on into the South and then finally wrap things up with a trio of shows in England. As attendees began to trickle in and fill up the first few rows of the Met’s plush red seats, they were greeted by the sounds of vintage blues and early ’60s garage rock blaring over the venues PA system. For an audience about to experience the throwback modernity of DM3, it was a fitting soundtrack. Sturgill Simpson, an up-and-coming country songwriter from Kentucky who will accompany DM3

throughout this tour, and his band warmed up the stage by sharing what he described as, “Bonafide mountain hillbilly soul,” with the expectant crowd. When DM3 took the stage, which was ominously backlit by filtered purple kliegs and shrouded in mist from a fog machine, they were met with a thunderous round of applause. Before they could even play a single note, the entire crowd was on the feet, dancing in the aisles. Over the course of their two hour performance, DM3 took the audience on a raucous, winding journey through their back catalog, occasionally taking a detour to debut new material and play a few covers. Although each of their albums to date has been an enjoyable gem, their recordings aren’t able to accurately convey the energy, passion and virtuosity the threesome displays on stage. Despite playing almost entirely acoustic music,

their deceptively large sound was able to engulf the entirety of the Met’s cavernous art deco interior. If one was to close their eyes during the show, it would be almost impossible for them to imagine the sounds on the stage were emanating from just three people playing acoustic instruments without the accompaniment of a drummer. The crowd responded enthusiastically to the new material, stomping their feet and clapping joyously. But it wasn’t until they tore into their signature song, the boozing, self-deprecating “Old Number Seven,” that the crowd truly came alive. Much like the music they came to hear, DM3’s audience was made up of a diverse cross-section of people. A good time was had by all; young and old, students and professionals, residents and visitors.

‘Hello, Dolly!’ brings classic Broadway show to life by shawnee Moran Associate A&E editor @shawneemoran22

The 50th anniversary national tour of “Hello, Dolly!” captured the hearts of audience members at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center Wednesday evening with a special performance by two-time Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Sally Struthers. “Hello, Dolly!,” based on Thornton Wilder’s novel “The Matchmaker,” has won 10 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Choreography and Best Revival of a Musical and has been nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Composer/lyricist Jerry Herman and librettist Michael Stewart created a musical masterpiece which has touched the hearts of many over the years with iconic songs such as “Put on Your Sunday Clothes,” “Before the Parade Passes By” and “It Only Takes a Moment.” With three Broadway revivals, an award-winning film adaptation, and another possible Broadway revival in the future starring Kristin Chenoweth, audiences headed into the Lyell B. Clay Theatre with only the best expectations for this nationally touring production. The nearly sold-out theater offered a generous round of applause when

the talented cast of “Hello, Dolly!” stepped on to stage, opening the musical with “Call on Dolly.” When Struthers stepped on stage, audience members immediately gave her the recognition she deserved. Set in 1897 in bustling New York, Mrs. Dolly Gallagher, played by Struthers, appears in town offering her talents to help others, talents she describes as “meddling.” She describes her occupation to be a variety of occupations, which are introduced throughout the play, but in particular describes herself as a matchmaker. Dolly, who is trying to match up Ambrose Kemper, played by Brad Fren-

ette, and Ermengarde, played by Hilary Fingerman, also has an alternative motive – she has her sights set on marrying Kemper’s uncle, Horace Vandegelder. He is a “well-known half-amillionaire” and Dolly said she wants financial security. Due to a series of wellplanned events on Dolly’s part, the couples are brought together throughout the play and fall in love. However, this isn’t without several different comedic setbacks. As expected with a nationally touring production, all aspects of the performance were spot-on, including the costumes, an interchanging set, choreog-

raphy, acting and singing. Audience members watched in awe during several songs, such as “Put on Your Sunday Clothes” and “The Waiters’ Gallop” as the entire cast joined the stage. Over-the-top characters were brought to life seemingly effortlessly by the entire cast, especially by Struthers. She was exceptionally charming and larger than life with her role. “I really liked Sally Struthers and I think she made the role her own,” said Megan Samples, a WVU graduate student. “She’s not copying anyone else that’s come before her and I like the gentlemen that are playing Cornelius

Hackl and Barnaby Tucker. I think they are very funny and very good at physical comedy.” Another audience member, Kristyn Edgar, said she thought Struthers was exceptionally talented and brought a charming quality to her performance. “I overheard someone beside me say (throughout the evening) ‘She’s cute.’ That’s pretty much what it was the entire night.” Morgantown residents and students alike exited the CAC humming the famous “Hello, Dolly” tune and talking about the larger than life Sally Struthers. shawnee.moran@mail.wvu.edu

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 14, 2013

DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Women’s soccer thriving in Big 12 It’s been a rough few years for WVU athletics since the school moved into the notorious Big 12 Conference. Well, unless you’re the women’s soccer team. That’s right, as West Virginia University’s two most popular sports (football and men’s basketball) continue to flounder in one of the nation’s most powerful athletic conferences, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and her women’s soccer team have simply continued to dominate the Big 12 in a way Dana Holgorsen and Bob Huggins likely only dream they could. Throughout the last two seasons in particular, the women’s soccer team has gone 14-1-1 in regular season conference play. Meanwhile, football and men’s basketball have combined to compile a pretty pathetic 12-22 conference record within the same span. In addition, for those who aren’t already aware, the women are fresh off their second Big 12 regular season title in only two years since joining the conference and also claimed their first-ever Big 12 Conference championship Sunday. It’s the only Big 12 Conference championship win in any sport for West Virginia, and yet frankly, these talented young women still aren’t getting the praise or the attention they rightly deserve. To further put things in perspective, WVU women’s soccer didn’t just claim both the conference’s regular season and championship titles, they completely swept the conference’s season-end awards, producing the Big 12 offensive and defensive Player of the Year and the conference’s Coach of the Year. Izzo-Brown, who has led the program to all 251 of its wins in her 18 years as the Mountaineers’ coach, is basically the best thing that’s ever happened to women’s soccer at WVU, and yet she – like the rest of her team – still doesn’t get the full praise or recognition that’s wildly beyond overdue at this point. The good news? Although it’s been an immensely successful campaign for the Mountaineers this year, the season also isn’t over just yet. In fact, Izzo-Brown and her team will host their first-round match against former Big East foe Rutgers at home Saturday night. Now, while no one necessarily expects a turnout or environment quite like the home opener for men’s basketball or the Texas football game Saturday, there is no reason Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium shouldn’t be absolutely packed to the brim when Izzo-Brown’s team takes the pitch against visiting Rutgers in the opening round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Both football and men’s basketball play earlier in the day, but again, that shouldn’t even matter. Those teams have already disappointed WVU fans time and again in the last two seasons since making a transition to their new conference home. Saturday is Izzo-Brown and her team’s time to shine.

ALL A DREAMIUS

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Running back Dreamius Smith gets to the edge during West Virginia’s loss to Texas Saturday.

Running back Dreamius Smith focused, determined in return to home state of Kansas by greg madia multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

With only two games remaining in the regular season, the West Virginia football team will be motivated by needing two more wins in order to gain bowl eligibility. However, when West Virginia takes the field at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kan., Saturday, running back Dreamius Smith will have a bit more to play for. Originally from Wichita, Smith is the lone Kansas native on the Mountaineer roster, so this weekend he will be playing in front of his family and friends. “I’ll be close to home, so I’ll have a lot of family come up. They get to see me play,” Smith said. “It’s always a good experience, (and) it’s a good feeling that your family gets to watch you play.”

In addition to getting to visit his family, WVU’s trip to Lawrence also serves as a revisit to the school to which Smith committed out of high school. Smith committed under then-Jayhawks head coach Turner Gill. Gill had a short career at Kansas, going 5-19 during his two years as head coach. “I liked the way Turner Gill was as a person and a coach. I liked his offense and what he ran,” Smith said. “I also liked the running back coach Reggie Mitchell. He had a good history of getting (running) backs to the next level, so I looked onto that. “At that time, I just thought it was the best place for me to go.” But Smith’s plans to enroll at Kansas didn’t work out as he was ruled ineligible prior to his freshman season. Smith then en-

rolled at Butler Community College in his hometown of Wichita where he was able to revitalize his career. At Butler, Smith turned into one of the top junior college prospects nationally and gained the attention of many major programs. But since things didn’t work out at Kansas the first time, he decided that he didn’t want to revisit his opportunity to be a Jayhawk. “I knew from the start I wasn’t going to go back there,” Smith said. Smith enrolled at West Virginia and has been a vital backup to Charles Sims this season. He’s carried the ball 94 times for 470 yards and five touchdowns and has had a solid first season at WVU. With Kansas coming into the game at just 2-7, it may be easy for some players on the WVU roster to overlook the Jayhawks, but for

Iowa State sweeps West Virginia Wednesday night by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

For the first time this season, Iowa State did not have the services of its starting setter Jenelle Hudson. With Hudson sidelined by an injury, the Cyclones ‘head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch gave junior Taylor Goetz the starting nod. Goetz fit in seamlessly with the starting rotation as her team took down the Mountaineers 3-0 (1825, 15-25, 8-25) inside the WVU Coliseum Wednesday night. The loss to the Cyclones continues a three-game slide for the Mountaineers. “What it comes down to no matter who is on the other side of the net, we need to play better volleyball,” said WVU head coach Jill Kramer. “We did not play very good volleyball tonight. It is one match and we have to make it just one match. We have to get back in the gym and get ready for Saturday.” The match opened up with a tight first set, where both teams battled backand forth for points. Tied at 12-12, an attack error by the Mountaineers helped spark a 6-0 run by Iowa State. West Virginia had no answer for the Cyclones’ Mackenzie Bigbee, as she went on to record three kills in the early run. Kramer called her final timeout at 18-13 to try and settle her team down and after the break, the Mountaineers rattled off three straight points to bring the set to within four. That would be the closest the Mountaineers would come, as Iowa State went

on to clinch the set by taking the final four points. The Cyclones opened up a 9-5 lead to start the second set which forced Kramer to call an early timeout. Iowa State’s Victoria Hurtt came out of the timeout and recorded two quick kills to expand her team’s lead to five. Hurtt’s five kills and two blocks led her team to a 25-15 set win. West Virginia’s offensive struggles continued into the third set. The Cyclones opened up a 8-1 lead before sophomore outside hitter Hannah Sackett stopped the bleeding with her only kill of the set. Iowa State’s strong defense held the Mountaineers to a -.107 hitting clip and forced eight errors. “I think they are a great defensive team, but we didn’t stick with our game plan. We stuck with it the first couple of points and then got away from it,” Kramer said. “It’s not necessarily what they were doing, it’s what we weren’t doing.” In the final set, no Mountaineer recorded more than two kills while Sackett and Hannah Shreve were the only players with positive hitting clips. Freshman outside hitter and the current Big 12 leader in kills per set Jordan Anderson’s four kills speaks to the offensive struggles her team experienced throughout the night. Sophomore setter Brittany Sample finished her night with only 13 assists. West Virginia will have a few days of rest to prepare before taking on Kramer’s alma mater, TCU at home, Saturday afternoon.

The NCAA selection show is only three weeks away and Kramer said she is stressing to her team how important the last matches of the season are. “We have to control the ball better on our side, no matter who we are playing. We have to work a little harder, grind a little harder and at this point in the season we have to be better,” she said. Sunday’s 1 p.m. match against the Horned Frogs has been deemed ’80s night, where all students in attendance are encouraged to sport ’80s apparel. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

DA SPORTS STAFF PICKSFOOTBALL DANA HOLGORSEN QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “We need to prepare to beat Kansas, it’s going to be a challenging game for us. They have been playing a lot better. Especially defensively, they’ve been playing a lot better. Their last three games they have played, they’ve held their opponents to around 300 yards. Considering two of those to be against Texas and Oklahoma State. They’ve played six really good teams in a row and have played competitive. We’ve got our hands full. We need to move forward. We still are playing for something. It’s at the point, where I’m talking about bowl games.”

(AP) — After a tumultuous summer, the Marshall Henderson road show is returning for a second season. Mississippi’s 6-foot-2 senior guard will be back on the court for Saturday’s road game against Coastal Carolina after being suspended for the season opener. The Rebels hope he can add some scoring punch while keeping his behavior in check. Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy said he is anxious to see how his team – and Henderson – respond to a hostile environment. “I know they’ll be excited to yell at Marshall,” Kennedy said. “But get in line, a lot of people are.” Henderson scored more than 20 points per game last season, becoming one of college basketball’s biggest villains in the process because of his penchant for riling up opposing fans

with his theatrics. He’s also had off-thecourt issues and was indefinitely suspended in July after police found him with small amounts of marijuana and cocaine during a traffic stop, though he was not arrested. Henderson was suspended three regular-season games by the school. He still must sit out the Rebels’ first two Southeastern Conference games against Auburn (Jan. 9) and Mississippi State (Jan. 11). Henderson has been allowed to practice with the team during his suspension, but has not spoken with the media except for a one-on-one interview with ESPN in October. Ole Miss (1-0) won its season opener 6954 against Troy despite shooting just 34.7 percent from the field.

Chiefs’ Bowe to start against Denver after arrest KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Dwayne Bowe deftly avoided the locker room full of prying TV cameras, finally emerging onto the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice field Wednesday as if nothing was amiss. The former Pro Bowl wide receiver spent the rest of the afternoon preparing for Sunday night’s AFC West showdown against the Broncos, a game in which he’ll start despite a weekend arrest for speeding and possession of marijuana. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that he intends to let the legal situation run its course, but he made it clear that Bowe will be in the starting lineup for the unbeaten Chiefs. “There are rules and regulations put in place and we’ll abide by the rules and regulations, and we’ll make sure we take all of the information that comes out as it goes through the process,” Reid said. “That’s where we’re going with it.” Bowe did not speak to reporters, instead issuing a statement in which

he apologized “for the distraction I have caused the team this week.” “Due to the nature of the pending matter, I am unable to make any further comment on the situation,” Bowe’s statement said. According to police, Bowe’s wallet was discovered along with two containers that held about one-third of an ounce of suspected marijuana. Bowe was cited for speeding and possession of a controlled substance. He posted $750 bond and faces a Dec. 18 court appearance. The Chiefs were off last week before beginning their preparations for Denver. “I addressed him, had that opportunity to talk to him, and I’ll leave it at that,” Reid said. “There are laws, rules and regulations, and I’ll leave it at that.” Reid did say that Bowe has been a model teammate. “Dwayne’s been a team player since I’ve been here,” Reid said. “He

doesn’t want to bring any problems to the table. That’s not what he wants to do.” It is unlikely Bowe will be disciplined until after his court date. While the Chiefs are barred from disciplining the former Pro Bowl wide receiver for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the past has handed down one-game suspensions and fines of an additional game check for similar cases. Bowe, who signed fiveyear, $56 million deal in the offseason, has struggled to live up to the expectations that come with being one of the game’s best-paid wide receivers. He’s second on the team with 33 catches for 369 yards and two touchdowns during the Chiefs’ 9-0 start. This isn’t the first time that Bowe has proven to be a distraction. He was suspended four games in 2009 for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs after taking what his agent called an unap-

proved weight-loss supplement. He also made questionable comments to a magazine a few years ago about womanizing that allegedly occurred at team hotels, and then misstated the name of Chiefs ownership family in his apology. Now in his seventh season, Bowe is second in franchise history with 448 catches, trailing only former tight end Tony Gonzalez. He has 6,078 yards receiving, sixth-most in team history, and 41 touchdown catches, fifth-most in Chiefs history. With the specter of a high-profile showdown against Denver hanging over the locker room, Chiefs players were reticent to discuss Bowe’s arrest during Tuesday’s availability. Quarterback Alex Smith guided the conversation back to the Broncos any time the topic was broached, though he did say players with larger contracts have an obligation to be leaders. “It’s a lot different than the collegiate level or the high school level. When

Dwayne Bowe celebrates with Alex Smith earlier this season. you get to the NFL, there’s a lot that comes with it,” Smith said. “We have a bunch of guys that are focused on winning, doing things the right way.” Cornerback Brandon Flowers sidestepped questions about Bowe’s arrest, saying only that “there are no distractions at all. I can promise you that.” Veteran linebacker

Tamba Hali likewise deflected questions back to the Broncos game. “He knows we’re here for him. We practice with him every day,” Hali said. “Again, a situation like that, it’s far beyond us. We just want to continue to focus on what we’ve got here. It’s a legal matter. We just want that process to take care of itself.”

Eagles’ Cooper making news with play on field now PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Riley Cooper is now sharing plenty of highfives and hugs with teammates. Cooper has come a long way since leaving the Philadelphia Eagles for three days after using a racial slur. He’s having the best season of his career and has developed into one of the top deep threats in the NFL. Cooper has five touchdown catches in the past two games and seven overall, including four of more than 30 yards. He’s second in the league with an average of 19.8 yards per catch and third with five receptions of at least 40 yards. “I’m having a blast,” Cooper said. “I love football, but it feels so good when you are contributing to the team and win-

ning games.” The Eagles (5-5) have won two in a row and can take sole possession of first place in the NFC East with a victory over Washington (3-6) on Sunday. When Cooper left the team briefly in training camp after a video that showed him using the Nword surfaced on the Internet, many wondered if he’d stick around long. Not just with the team, but in the NFL. Cooper seemingly didn’t have the pedigree to warrant the headache. A fifth-round pick out of Florida in 2010, Cooper had 46 catches for 679 yards and five TDs in three seasons. He’s already topped the touchdown total in 10 games and has 28 receptions for 555 yards. “I’m playing the same

football that I have always played,” Cooper said. “I’m getting a little bit more opportunity, which is great, but it starts from the quarterback. When he’s spreading the ball out like he is, everyone is going to get touches, everyone is going to get numbers, and everyone is going to get touchdowns.” Cooper, who became the starter after Jeremy Maclin tore an ACL, ranked among the worst starting receivers after five games. He had just eight catches for 83 yards and one TD. But since Nick Foles replaced an injured Michael Vick at quarterback, Cooper has thrived. He has 20 receptions for 472 yards and six TDs in the last five games, including three 100-yard performances.

“He has great poise,” Cooper said of Foles. “He’s going to sit in the pocket and kind of dissect the defense. He trusts in his guys. If it’s man-to-man coverage or something, he’s going to throw it up to you.” After tying the NFL record with seven TD passes in a 49-20 win at Oakland, Foles threw three more in a 27-13 victory at Green Bay last week. He clearly has a certain chemistry with Cooper, though he distributes the ball well. DeSean Jackson leads the Eagles with 54 catches for 903 yards and also has seven TDs. “I believe in Riley, and he’s getting an opportunity,” Foles said. “Just so happens that when I’m reading out plays that he’s getting open and he’s

making plays. “He’s a big physical receiver, and I love the fact that he’s a receiver that does a great job blocking.” Who would’ve thought Cooper would be getting such high praise just a few months ago? Several teammates were bothered by Cooper’s remark to a security guard at a Kenny Chesney concert. Cary Williams even traded punches with Cooper during a practice scuffle that both players insisted had nothing to do with the incident. “I don’t think the issue will ever go away because I think we all have valuable lessons that we can learn from it,” coach Chip Kelly said. “Riley, obviously, because he was at the forefront of it, but I also think the guys understanding

what he was about and what he was like as a human being in the locker room.” There are no signs of lingering animosity in the locker room or on the field. Cooper is one of the guys, and he’s playing at higher level than anyone could’ve expected. “Riley’s doing everything he needs to do to really just be in a position,” Jackson said. “Early in the season he just really wasn’t getting as many opportunities.” NOTES: LB Mychal Kendricks (knee), LB Jake Knott (hamstring), T Jason Peters (quadriceps, pectoral) and S Earl Wolff (knee) didn’t practice Wednesday.

Buckeyes remain unbeaten, but are they better? COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two teams, each 9-0. They play in the same league. They’re both highly ranked. Which is better? If you’re comparing the 2012 Ohio State Buckeyes and the current version, coach Urban Meyer has the

answer. “We’re a better team,” he said, referring to his current Buckeyes. “We’re a better functioning team.” Meyer is careful to not insult last year’s team, which definitely started from the lowest rung on the ladder.

Those Buckeyes followed a dreadful 6-7 season by going a surprising 12-0. They posted only the sixth unblemished season in the programs 123 years despite being deprived of the incentive of playing in a bowl game. That was taken off the table because of NCAA sanctions stemming from former coach Jim Tressel’s failure to disclose he knew of players likely taking improper benefits in 2010. “I don’t want to ever disrespect our (2012) seniors because they were such an incredible group of players,” Meyer said. “And they were really good players, too.” He said the difference is when Ohio State has the ball. “(Which team is better is) an interest-

ing conversation, but we’re just more functional, certainly on offense,” Meyer said. “We’re much better on offense than we were a year ago.” The numbers support his position. Through nine games – and heading into a game with Illinois, just like the 2012 team was – this year’s Buckeyes are averaging 100 yards of total offense and 13 more points per game. This year’s third-ranked team averages 531 yards of total offense per game, 301 rushing and 230 passing. It’s scoring 48.2 points a contest. Playing a similar schedule, the 2012 Buckeyes, ranked No. 6 through nine games, were averaging 432 yards of total offense per game, 248 rushing and 184 passing. That squad was averaging 38.6 points a game. “Last year there were some games that teams

played us real heavy in the box because we couldn’t do as much with our passing game,” said starting offensive lineman on both teams, Jack Mewhort. “But this year it’s a lot different. There’s not eight or nine guys in the box because this offseason Braxton and the receivers and the running backs and all the skill guys got together and decided they were going to be really good this year. They’ve done that so far.” As a sophomore, quarterback Braxton Miller was also the team’s best rusher. So picking up first downs – not scoring quickly – was a priority. Through nine games, he was completing 56.6 percent of his passes for 12 touchdowns with six interceptions. This year, despite missing almost three full games with a sprained knee ligament, he is completing 72.5

percent of his passes for 15 touchdowns with three interceptions. “I feel that we execute a lot better than we did last year,” wide receiver Evan Spencer said. “Once we get rolling, we’re rolling. There’s not many people who can stop us.” Consider also that Carlos Hyde has shown vast improvement at running back this year. In 2012 at this juncture he had 600 yards in seven games; so far this season he has 701 in six games. Meyer also said the Buckeyes are better on special teams. But stopped short of saying his latest defense was ahead of last year’s. Most people attribute that edge not to personnel or depth or star players, but rather to strong leaders on the defensive unit. “Last year’s team we had the heart and the leadership. I don’t know if we necessarily were as talented, but we had the will to win,” said linebacker Joshua Perry, a backup a year ago and a starter now. “This team has the same will to win but we’ve got a little bit more juice behind us, too, talentwise. Our defense is a little quicker and on offense we’ve got some tools now.” The 2012 defense, led by linemen John Simon, Johnathan Hankins, Garrett Goebel and Nathan Williams – all of whom graduated except for Hankins, who jumped to the NFL early – came into its own late in the season. The statistics don’t point to a stronger defense a year ago. The present defense still has a ways to go, particularly without nine starters from last year’s unit. “On defense I’m not sure we’re quite as good. Remember this time last year is when we hit the accelerator and we played excellent defense,” Meyer said. “We are getting a little better on defense. We’re much better on offense than we were a year ago, but defensively I’m not sure.”
