BETA THETA PI LOSES CHARTER

In midst of Greek Life moratorium, national headquarters pulls charter, WVU no longer recognizes group by laura haight city editoR @LAURA_HAIGHT

Although the Greek Life moratorium continues, a third fraternity is in trouble and has lost ITS charter. On Wednesday night, West Virginia University was informed Beta Theta Pi Fraternity’s national headquarters had revoked the chapter’s charter for past behavioral issues.

The chapter will no longer be recognized as an organization on campus and has lost all rights and

privileges.

WVU’s Inter-Fraternity and Panhellenic councils are still in moratorium with all social and new member activities suspended until further notice.

The Office of Student Activities and both councils are planning to bring in a national facilitator after Thanksgiving break.

According to a University press release, the facilitator will “assist students in thoughtful discussions and development of solutions.”

The Morgantown Police Department released

a statement concerning the incident in the South Park neighborhood of Morgantown involving 19 pledges of Sigma Chi fraternity.

On Nov. 6, The fraternity held a social gathering at Boomer’s Nightclub with active members and pledges. The pledges were then taken to South Park, left alone and told to find their way back to the Sigma Chi house. PD were called to the neighborhood for reports of a large crowd screaming, yelling and engaging in disorderly conduct.

“The Sigma Chi Fraternity acknowledged their involvement with the incident and has been very cooperative with the Morgantown Police Department during the investigation,” said MPD Chief Ed Preston.

Upon conclusion of the investigation, Morgantown PD released the names of the individuals responsible for organizing the event and transporting the pledges to South Park.

The following were issued criminal citations for Hazing: Alec Mandich, Gillian

Bowan, Connor McCaffrey, Garrick Davis, Shane Boyce and Michael McKenna.

Morgantown Police continue to investigate the “catastrophic medical emergency” on Nov. 12 that led to the death of Nolan Michael Burch, a freshman student who was pledging Kappa Sigma.

Kappa Sigma had also lost its charter two days prior to the incident.

The University originally planned a bus for students to take to Burch’s funeral in Buffalo, N.Y., but had to cancel due to inclem-

ent weather in the Buffalo region.

The Trinity Episcopal Church in Morgantown held a memorial service Thursday with Eucharist service in celebration of Burch’s life.

Burch was a member of the Episcopal Church and received Last Rites before he died.

WVU will hold a bellringing ceremony to honor Burch’s memory after student’s return from Thanksgiving break. lhaight@mail.wvu.edu

Tough issues tackled at annual Women’s, Gender Studies fair

In an attempt to raise awareness and excite people about geography, National Geographic created Geography Awareness Week to educate the public on the roll it plays in everyday life.

At West Virginia University, the Geography Club certainly doesn’t let this week go unnoticed. “(Geography Awareness Week is) important because a lot of people don’t really understand what geography is,” said Rich White, president of the WVU Geography Club. “Some people think it’s just all about

Hundreds of students enrolled in Women’s and Gender Studies courses at West Virginia Unviersity brought what they’ve learned throughout the semester to life at the Women’s and Gender Studies fair Thursday in the Mountianlair Ballrooms.

Students were charged with the task of creating a display that’s not only informative to the members of the public who were visiting the fair, but is also one that’s interactive and requires audience participation.

“We try to improve or add to (the fair) each time,” said Brian Jara, a senior lecturer in the Center for Women’s and

maps, but realistically there is a lot more to it. You have to look at how humans affect other humans or how we affect our environment and it always varies from place to place. It’s more like an educational week just to show off how geography can be related to our everyday lives.”

Each year, the Geography Club chooses a new theme for the week. After careful consideration, “Geography of Food” was chosen for this year’s.

Club members planned events to teach people not affiliated with the club about food from around the world.

Schiefelbein’s ‘Au Milieu’ travels to continue in Campus MovieFest competition by lauren caccamo correspondent @dailyathenaeum

A man sits alone inside a dimly lit theater. Suddenly, the lights go off. A woman is projected onto the screen, black and white colors only.

She is with another person.

The man recognizes whom she is with. It is himself: he is watching his memories play out in front of him.

The opening scene to the winner of this year’s Campus MovieFest, “Au Milieu,” is both eerie and mesmerizing.

The five-minute film captures a range of emotion and personal experiences, challenging the viewer to guess what exactly is being said.

“It’s open to interpre-

tation,” said West Virginia University student Lauren Schiefelbein, the screenwriter, director and editor behind the movie. “I made this film with one thing in mind, but everybody watches it and kind of comes up with their own ideas of what’s going on, and I think that’s why people enjoy watching it.”

Marketing student Kevin Langue, the main actor in the film, agreed.

“If you go watch it, you can take away different things from it,” Langue said. “You might think this happened or that happened, but it’s really up to anybody.”

Campus MovieFest is the world’s largest student film festival.

tion, Langue, Schiefelbein, and their third partner in the project, broadcast journalism student Victoria Licata, are given the chance to participate in workshops at Universal Studios in Hollywood this summer.

Langue, who also won last year’s Campus MovieFest, said while the workshops provide valuable information about the industry, what he really enjoys are the other film winners who come in from all over the country.

“A lot of that stuff is good information. But honestly, I think the biggest part of it for me was not the people who were already established, but everybody that came because they wanted to make films and they won the

competition,” Langue said.

“They’re the next generation of moviemakers.”

Last year, Langue’s short film not only sent him to the Hollywood Hills for his work but also to the Cannes Film Festival in France, one of the largest film festivals in the world.

This year, Langue hopes for “Au Milieu” to make a debut at Cannes much like his winning film last year, “The B Team.”

Meanwhile, the trio is doing what they can to balance school and pursue their passions.

When asked what advice he had for people who feel they do not have enough time to begin their own projects, Langue laughed. With

18 credits on his plate, a parttime job and social responsibilities, Langue said he felt he barely had enough time to sit down.

But that isn’t to say Langue is complaining. In fact, he insists anybody who wants to follow a dream should be taking the steps to reach that goal.

“One of the things I always say is don’t wait. If you want to do something, do it.

I used to always talk about making videos but never really got around to it. Then, one day I was sitting in Dr. Houghton’s class, and he said, ‘Don’t wait. If you want to do something, do it now’,” Langue said. “You might be able to see your dream, but you can’t do that today. But

Records show May was licensed to practice law in Texas and New Mexico.

According to a Las Cruces, New Mexico, police report last month, May was a subject of a harassment complaint after a former girlfriend called to report he came to her home uninvited and claimed police were bugging his house and car. Danielle Nixon told police May recently developed “a severe mental disorder.”

“Myron began to ramble and handed her a piece to a car and asked her to keep it because this was a camera that police had put in his vehicle,” the report said.

The report also said May recently quit his job and was on medication.

No charges were filed.

Abigail Taunton, who runs a foster home in the Florida Panhandle, told AP that May was staying at a guest house she owns.

“He’s just a boy our kids grew up with that we let stay in one of our guest houses for a while,” she said. “He’s mov-

ing back home from Texas and we were trying to help him get on his feet.”

“We’re just all astounded.

We had no idea that he would do something like this,” Taunton said. “Obviously, he was not in his right mind.”

She said she had known him since he was about 13 or 14 and that he ran cross country with her kids and stayed at her house a lot. She said he lived with his grandmother after coming out of a “bad situation” with his parents. He was born in Dayton, Ohio.

She and her partner created a game which illustrated the distances from poor communities to free clinics. Players were stationed at different places around a 5 feet by 5 feet floor map of West Virginia.

To get to the clinic, players were asked trivia questions. Answer three correctly consecutively and the player makes it to the clinic.

“The ninth parliament has become more conservative than it was in the past,” said Jacki Spiropoulos, a freshman social work student. “One of the ways this happens is female members of parliament literally

the Geography Club and the Geography Awareness Week shouldn’t be for just the students in Brooks Hall, who just study geography,” White said. “We are trying to branch out to other departments on campus and other students to try and make it a lot more exciting than it has been in the past couple years.”

Some activities the group participates in around the year are centered around helping the environment.

A recent trip took members to Canaan Valley, W.Va., where they were given the chance to have a handson interaction with the

environment.

“We have gotten involved with the Red Spruce Restoration Project, where we replant red spruce trees throughout the Canaan Valley,” White said. “We pretty much spent a weekend up there, not only camping but planting these trees.”

White said the Geography club is now on a mission to grow and create more exciting events for its members.

Rape allegation fallout for Cosby Legend Mike Nichols dead at 83

Bill Cosby faces allegations of rape that go back over a decade.

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC has scrapped a Bill Cosby comedy that was under development and TV Land will stop airing reruns of “The Cosby Show,” moves that came a day after another woman came forward claiming that the once-beloved comic had sexually assaulted her.

NBC spokeswoman Rebecca Marks said Wednesday the Cosby sitcom “is no longer under development.” A TV Land representative said the reruns will stop airing immediately for an indefinite time. “The Cosby Show” also was to have been part of a Thanksgiving sitcom marathon.

The NBC sitcom and “Cosby Show” reruns joined a Netflix Cosby standup comedy special, which was indefinitely postponed late Tuesday, as mounting evidence of Cosby’s faltering career.

They occurred a day after model Janice Dickinson, in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” became the third woman in recent weeks to allege she’d been assaulted by Cosby charges strongly denied by the comedian’s lawyer.

The developments, which involve allegations that were widely reported a decade ago as well as new accusations, have gravely damaged the 77-year-old comedian’s reputation as America’s TV dad at a time when he was launching a comeback. A year ago, a standup special - his first in 30 years - aired on Comedy Central and drew a hefty audience of 2 million viewers.

His prospective new series was announced by NBC in January.

Cosby has never been charged in connection with any of the allegations. Former Pennsylvania prosecutor Bruce L. Castor Jr., who investigated a woman’s claims that Cosby had sexually assaulted her in 2004, said Wednesday he decided not to prosecute because he felt there was not enough evidence to get a conviction.

“I wrote my opinion in such a way as I thought conveyed to the whole world that I thought he had done it, he had just gotten away with it because of a lack of evidence,” the for-

mer Montgomery County district attorney said.

If Cosby hadn’t been cooperative with the investigation, “I probably would have arrested him,” Castor said.

Cosby was asked about the growing furor by an Associated Press reporter when the comedian was promoting an exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art that features the comedian’s African-American art collection alongside African artworks.

When the AP interviewed Cosby, on Nov. 6, the story involved long-circulated accusations from several women and recent criticism from comedian Hannibal Buress. Cosby declined to comment, saying “We don’t answer that.”

The AP mentioned the allegations and Cosby’s decision not to comment at the end of its story, which, like the interview, was primarily about his loan of more than 50 artworks to the Washington museum.

Since then, two women have come forward publicly to accuse him of sexual assault, Netflix, TV Land and NBC cut ties and an appearance on “The Late Show With David Letterman” was canceled. In recent days, as the allegations gained increasing attention, AP went back through the full video of the Nov. 6 interview and decided to publish Cosby’s full reaction to questions about the claims.

The AP was among a handful of news organizations granted interviews with Cosby in connection with the art exhibition.

After his initial refusal to comment - as the interview was winding down but with the camera still running and Cosby wearing a lapel microphone - the comedian asked the AP to not use the brief on-camera refusal to comment he had just made about the allegations. “And I would appreciate it if it was scuttled,” he said.

The interview was on the record. The AP had made no agreement to avoid questions about the allegations or to withhold publishing any of his comments at any time.

The Smithsonian’s Na-

complex.com

tional Museum of African Art has not changed its plans for the show, which opened this month on the National Mall and is scheduled to remain on view through early 2016.

“The exhibition has been very well received. We’ve actually had record numbers through the door,” spokesman Eddie Burke said, adding the museum has had no complaints.

The NBC project was in the very early stages, without a script or commitment to production. But it would have brought Cosby back to the network where he had reigned in the 1980s with the top-rated “The Cosby Show.”

There’s some precedent for a network burying a project because of stories involving a star’s personal life. NBC shelved a twohour TV movie, “Frogmen,” starring O.J. Simpson in 1994 after the former football star was implicated in his wife’s death.

Cosby has continued working as a stand-up comic, and has at least 35 performances scheduled throughout the U.S. and Canada through May 2015.

None of the performances has been cancelled.

National Artists Corporation, which is promoting part of the tour, said it will not be canceling any shows.

Dickinson told “Entertainment Tonight” that Cosby had given her red wine and a pill when they were together in a Lake Tahoe, California, hotel room in 1982. When she woke up the next morning, “I wasn’t wearing my pajamas and I remembered before I passed out I had been sexually assaulted by this man.”

Cosby’s lawyer, Martin Singer, said in a letter to the AP that Dickinson’s charges were “false and outlandish” and were contradicted

by Dickinson herself in a published autobiography.

Cosby’s spokesman, David Brokaw, did not return calls for comment.

Singer said the first Cosby heard of any assault allegation from Dickinson came in the “Entertainment Tonight” interview, and suggested the actress was “seeking publicity to bolster her fading career.”

NEW YORK (AP) — A legend of film, theater and comedy in nearly equal measure, Mike Nichols was an unquestioned fixture of smart, urbane American culture across a relentlessly versatile, six-decade career that on stage or screen, reliably coursed with sparkling intelligence.

Nichols won nine Tonys, an Oscar, several Emmys and a Grammy. He made up the lanky half of his groundbreaking comic duo with Elaine May. As a director, he made countless performers - from Dustin Hoffman to Melanie Griffith - into stars. To consistent acclaim, he adapted Edward Albee, Neil Simon, Tony Kushner and Arthur Miller.

Nichols, who died Wednesday night in New York at 83, was a supreme orchestrator of material, talent and taste. In films like “The Graduate,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “Carnal Knowledge,” he left not a firm stamp of authorship. But with a dry wit and a classical eye, he choreographed caustic social commentaries of couples drunk with bitterness, bored with regret and apprehensive in flight.

“I keep coming back to it, over and over: adultery and cheating,” Nichols, who was divorced three times before marrying ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in 1988, said last year. “It’s the most interesting problem in the theater.

How else do you get Oedipus? That’s the first cheating in the theater.”

Meryl Streep, who stared in Nichols’ “Silkwood” and “Heartburn,” recalled him as “a director who cried when he laughed, a friend without whom, well, we can’t imagine our world.”

Steven Spielberg called Nichols’ passing a “seismic loss.”

“For me, `The Graduate’ was life altering - both as an experience at the movies as well as a master class about how to stage a scene,” said Spielberg. “Mike had a brilliant cinematic eye and uncanny hearing for keeping scenes ironic and real.”

The Berlin-born Nichols, whose Jewish family emigrated to the U.S. in 1939, began as a stand-up. Comedy would remain the bedrock to his sensibility and sense of timing. He and May developed their great improvisational rapport into a saucy, sophisticated stage show that took on sex, marriage, family and other subjects in a frank manner that titillated and startled audiences of the late 1950s and early `60s.

“People always thought we were making fun of other people when we were in fact making fun of ourselves,” Nichols told The Associated Press in 1997. “We did teenagers in the back seat of the car and people committing adultery. Of course, you’re making fun of yourself. You’re making jokes about yourself. Who can you better observe?”

His 1966 film directing debut, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” unforgettably captured the vicious yet sparkling and sly dialogue of Albee’s play, as a couple (Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor) torment each other over deep-seated guilt and resentment.

“Angels in America,” the 2003 TV miniseries adapted from Kushner’s stage sensation, blended rich pathos and whimsy in its portrait of people coping with AIDS and looking to the heavens for compassion they found lacking in Ronald Reagan’s 1980s America.

Similarly, Nichols’ 2001 TV adaptation of the play Obama’s State of the Union was seen by 33.3 million people this past January, the smallest total of his presidency, Nielsen said.

Fox broadcasting, which doesn’t have its own news division but occasionally simulcasts Fox News Channel coverage on the network for big events, did not plan to do so for Obama’s speech.

The Latin Grammys were to start at 8 p.m. and air live on Univision. The network said Thursday it would carry Obama live, with the Grammys delaying its start until after the president is through. Last year’s Latin Grammy telecast was seen by 4.6 million viewers.

“Wit” packed biting levity within the stark story of a college professor dying of ovarian cancer.

“I have never understood people dividing things into dramas and comedies,” said Nichols, who won directing Emmys for both “Angels” and “Wit.” “There are more laughs in `Hamlet’ than many Broadway comedies.”

He was a wealthy, educated man who often mocked those just like him, never more memorably than in “The Graduate,” which shot Hoffman to fame in the 1967 story of an earnest young man rebelling against his elders’ expectations. Mixing farce and Oedipal drama, Nichols managed to capture a generation’s discontent without ever mentioning Vietnam, civil rights or any other issues of the time.

But young people laughed hard when a family friend advised Benjamin that the road to success was paved with “plastics.”

Nichols won the best-director Oscar for “The Graduate,” which co-starred Anne Bancroft as an aging temptress pursuing Hoffman. The film was radical for both its casting (Hoffman, then a little-known character actor, was far from the traditional leading man) and its hugely influential Simon and Garfunkel soundtrack.

Not just actors, but great actors, clamored to work with Nichols, who studied acting with Lee Strasberg and had an empathy that helped bring out the best from the talent he put in front of the camera.

Nichols often collaborated with Streep, Jack Nicholson and Emma Thompson. Other stars who worked with Nichols included Al Pacino (“Angels in America”), Gene Hackman and Robin Williams (“The Birdcage”), Harrison Ford, Griffith and Sigourney Weaver (“Working Girl”) and Julia Roberts (“Closer”). In 2007, Nichols brought out “Charlie Wilson’s War,” starring Hanks and Roberts.

Just as he moved easily among stage, screen and television, Nichols fearlessly switched from genre to genre. Onstage, he tackled comedy (“The Odd Couple”), classics (“Uncle Vanya”) and musicals (“The Apple Tree,” `’Spamalot,” the latter winning him his sixth Tony for directing).

On Broadway, he won Tonys for directing the plays “Barefoot in the Park” (1964), “Luv” and “The Odd Couple” (1965), “Plaza Suite” (1968), “The Prisoner of Second Avenue” (1972), “The Real Thing” (1984), and Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” (2012). He has also won in other categories, for directing the musical “Monty Py-

thon’s Spamalot” (2005), and for producing “Annie” (1977) and “The Real Thing” (1984).

“I think a director can make a play happen before your eyes so that you are part of it and it is part of you,” he said. “If you can get it right, there’s no mystery. It’s not about mystery.

It’s not even mysterious. It’s about our lives.”

Nichols’ golden touch failed him on occasion with such duds as the anti-war satire “Catch-22,” with Alan Arkin in an adaptation of Joseph Heller’s best-seller and “What Planet Are You From?”, an unusually tame comedy for Nichols that starred Garry Shandling and Annette Bening.

Born Michael Igor Peschkowsky on Nov. 6, 1931, Nichols fled Nazi Germany for America at age 7 with his family. He said he fell in love with the power of the stage at age 15 when the mother of his thengirlfriend gave them theater tickets to the second night of the debut of “A Streetcar Named Desire” starring Marlon Brando in 1947. “We were poleaxed, stunned,” he recalled.

Nichols attended the University of Chicago but left to study acting in New York. He returned to Chicago, where he began working with May in the Compass Players, a comedy troupe that later became the Second City. The two became a sensation, culminating in their Broadway show, “An Evening With Mike Nichols and Elaine May,” which won a Grammy for best comedy recording in 1961.

The two split up soon after, though they reunited in the 1990s, with May writing screenplays for Nichols’ “Primary Colors” and “The Birdcage,” adapted from the French farce “La Cage aux Folles.”

After the break with May, Nichols found his true calling as a director, his early stage work highlighted by “Barefoot in the Park,” `’The Odd Couple,” `’Plaza Suite” and “The Prisoner of Second Avenue,” each of which earned him Tonys.

Other honors included Oscar nominations for directing “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, “Silkwood” and “Working Girl,” a best-picture nomination for producing “The Remains of the Day,” and a lifetime-achievement award from the Directors Guild of America in 2004.

Nichols was first married to Chicago TV personality Patricia Scott. He and his second wife, Margo Callas, had a daughter, Daisy.

With his third wife, novelist Annabel Davis-Goff, he had two children, Max and Jenny. He’s survived by his wife Sawyer, his three children and four grandchildren.

Staying connected with WVU’s help

backup1dollar.com/

It is undeniable college students are dependent on technology every day of our lives. We are so connected all of the time, not just for fun but for work and school, as well.

While not necessary to sustain life, cell phones have become an important part of succeeding in the college environment.

Being able to have on-thego access to email and to communicate with others in our field is essen-

tial to progress in most classes.

Imagine putting together a group project for class without being able to be in contact with partners. Cell phones not only make our lives easier, but they also allow us to be progressive and to stay informed. Receiving emergency alerts from the University would do little good if the only place you can access your email is a computer and you don’t have a

phone to receive texts.

The Daily Athenaeum believes the University would be doing students a great service by having a student phone plan providing them with a cell phone and reasonable payments for the technology.

Most college students are on a budget and often have a lot to take on financially. If the University were to offer a cheap and easy way for students

to have a phone plan, then maybe they could further help students ease their burden.

Having a student phone plan could also help students to be more engaged with the University as a whole. Being able to be constantly connected will not only make students feel more connected with their peers, but also be able to receive texts or alerts about upcoming events.

Not having a cell phone is also a safety concern.

Students work and Morgantown is a walking town.

Walking home at night, a student would feel safer if they have a way to call for help if confronted.

Many a generation grew up before us without cell phones; this is a fact. But we must also take into consideration the times we live in now. It is more likely for a student to have only a cell phone number and no

home phone number than it is for the situation to be the other way around.

Cell phones are a privilege of our generation, and this should not be taken lightly. However, to truly succeed, they are a necessary evil. While it may be hard for a student to take care of a phone plan on their own, the University could help students in this aspect of life, as well. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A cause for Internet hacking: Anonymous vs KKK hannah chenoweth columnist @dailyathenaeum

The year 2014 has been a year characterized by the media storm of issues related to hacking and privacy in this digital age.

Even if you don’t consider yourself to be technologically savvy, it’s impossible to remain unaware of the celebrity nude scandal or the ongoing GamerGate saga. It is clear that we as a society remain unsure of how to handle the massive implications of our rapidly escalating obsession with technology and social media.

This week has seen the intensification of a new “Internet age” dilemma. In St. Louis, chaos has been erupting since the August shooting of African American teenager Michael Brown; the hacktivist collective group, Anonymous, has gotten involved and is threatening to dox members of the KKK.

Anonymous is an international collective of hackers and online activists.

The group earned a spot on Time’s list of the “100 most influential people” in 2012. It has been dubbed a group of both freedom fighters and aggressive cyber terrorists.

Doxing is the act of releasing personal, identifiable information via the Internet; it has a connotation that is largely malicious in our society. Right now, Anonymous is behind Operation Ferguson, the growing confrontation rising in St. Louis over Brown’s death.

In anticipation of the protests surrounding the possible grand jury indictment over the shooting, the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan have distributed flyers threatening to use “lethal force” against protesters.

Anonymous reacted by hacking the national Twitter account of the organization and releasing identifying information about

the Missouri members of the KKK. The hashtag #HoodsOff has been used to show the group’s lack of hesitation over unveiling the KKK members.

There is definitely a moral dilemma at hand here. To be clear, doxing is typically perpetuated by a-holes. I believe exposing family members is going too far; their views don’t represent the views of the entire family. Doxing is wrong and racism is definitely wrong, so is this a case of two wrongs equaling a right?

I can’t help but think perhaps the KKK will understand what it feels like to be a minority, and a targeted one at that, now that it has been “de-hooded.” I don’t believe Anonymous is necessarily inciting violence by revealing these identities. Yet, the KKK is a hate group which is inciting violence with the distribution of these flyers.

To be honest, it is probably already well-known in the community who many of these KKK members are;

thehoustonfreethinkers.com/

being a white supremacist isn’t usually a huge secret.

In this case of Anonymous versus the KKK, I support Anonymous.

Does that mean in the case of hacking vs. racism, I’m condoning one over the other? Couldn’t they both be totally wrong? Yes, I believe they both are. I’m moreso acknowledging the fact that doxing and re-

lated issues of the hacking culture aren’t going away; they are simply becoming more advanced.

Maybe we have to be able to come to the terms that in some cases of doxing, it doesn’t have to be absolutely abhorrent.

Calling out members of society for belonging to a private organization is also in a completely different

ballgame than releasing information about members on a high-profile jury or a CIA spy. Instead, they are being held accountable for making racist threats.

Anonymous is an organization I believe has been way out of line before; but not in the dealing of the KKK. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The consequences of Internet porn, how it shapes the world around us emily torbett columnist @dailyathenaeum

In the age of the Internet and computers, it is no surprise so much of our lives are lived online.

So much of our learning and interacting with the world around us is beginning to take place in a virtual context. The ability to instantly connect with others and access an infinite realm of information and content is both fantastic and intriguing. The wonders of such abilities have been unknown to the generations that came before us.

We have taken special care to preserve this phenomenon, ensuring that it remains uncensored and accessible to all. While the complete freedom of the Internet has led to unimaginable discovery, it has also brought about unimaginable consequences.

Think about how often you use the Internet. If you’re like most people, you probably visit your favorite social media, shopping and streaming websites every single day. You probably spend countless hours sharing your profound opinions, shopping for cheap textbooks and

DA

binge-watching your favorite television shows.

According to huffingtonpost.com, one specific type of content is accessed more frequently than any other: pornography. In fact, pornographic websites get more visitors than Twitter, Netflix and Amazon combined. An astounding 30 percent of the entire Internet industry is pornography, visited by 450 million users every single month.

Every single second, $3,075.64 is spent on pornography. An overwhelming 28,258 people view obscene adult content on the Internet per second. Every 39 minutes, a brand new pornographic video is made in the United States.

Addictive and easily accessible to anyone with a computer or smartphone, the market for such content has grown from an underground, black market to a thriving and monstrous 97 billion dollar industry worldwide (via huffingtonpost.com.)

The pressure to keep pushing the envelope and churning out new and interesting content for a hungry mass audience has led to a breed of pornography that is both horrendously violent and shockingly unrealistic becoming all too commonplace.

Anyone who has ever seen pornography can probably attest to its portrayal of female submissiveness to degradation by a male perpetrator. This is not only a common feature of pornography, but also an expected component in almost every genre.

If you asked a stranger on the street if they would like to be treated like the women in pornography are treated, chances are, they would say no. However, if your chosen stranger happens to be male, he would probably follow his answer up by arguing his long ago internalized belief that, “just because I wouldn’t want to be treated that way doesn’t mean those women don’t enjoy it.”

They would probably explain the women appearing naked on their computer screens are into things like that or even simply acting.

Somehow, by engaging in sex for money, the women of porn become subhuman. The women whom men are actively seeking out in their Internet search engine of choice and, in many cases, paying money to see are viewed as nothing more than objects that can be manipulated to fit every imaginable sexual desire.

The objectification of women on a computer screen may seem harmless.

The desire to see women that are, in many ways, “fake” or “a fantasy” to the viewer engaging in behavior often considered too explicit and vulgar for reality may feel, like a way to explore ones sexuality in an innocuous way. However, before long, the things we see in porn begin to shape our real life sexual desires and expectations. Oftentimes, this does much more harm than good.

According to a study f ou n d o n i nt e r n e tsafety101.org, when the content of the 50 best-selling adult videos was analyzed, each of the 304 total scenes contained an average of 11.52 acts of either verbal or physical aggression. Out of all 3,376 acts of aggression seen in these videos, 94 percent were committed against women. The women seen in these videos reacted to these many instances of abuse exactly as they were expected: with pleasure and enthusiasm.

The results across every study conducted on the topic seem to be unanimous. Exposure to violent porn increases violent behavior and violent desires.

On screen, men are paid to

orgasm, women are paid to suffer and the viewer begins to internalize and normalize the images and behaviors they see.

In addition to shaping the sexual behavior of adult audiences, pornography’s ease of access on the Internet has some pretty surprising unintended consequences, namely, its accessibility to increasingly younger users. Chances are, our parents didn’t have Internet access until adulthood and today’s college students probably didn’t have it until their mid-teens. However, today’s children are growing up completely immersed in the age of the Internet and the culture of computers.

While in the past a person may not have seen their first adult video until reaching sexual maturity, current statistics show that American children now begin consuming hardcore pornography at an average age of 11. Four out of five 16-year-olds regularly access pornography online.

However, the average age at which most Americans first engage in consensual sexual activity with a partner is 17.1. This means that for most kids, pornography is their very first glimpse of what sex is supposed to be.

What they are seeing on screen and learning is men, in a sexual context, are to act violently and aggressively toward women.

Perhaps even more dangerous is that they are also internalizing the idea that this behavior is acceptable by women. Women are not only expected to be tolerant of such aggression, but also to respond with outright enthusiasm and enjoyment.

While online pornography may seem like nothing more than a brief escape from reality or a harmless way to explore one’s own sexuality, the consequences of its growing popularity and ease of access can be dire. As we view explicit content over and over again, and as our own sexual desires and behaviors become influenced by what we see, we begin to drastically alter the way men and women interact within both sexual and nonsexual contexts.

We produce a generation of children who, because they have grown up regularly seeing violent sexual behavior, will view it as natural and acceptable. In turn, we allow online pornography to shape our entire culture. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The Furr, Culture Thief, more to take the stage

By Ashley DeNardo A&E Editor @amdenardo

West Virginia bands Culture Thief, The Furr, False Pterodactyl and The Howdy will perform tonight at 123 Pleasant Street.

Culture Thief is an indie alternative band from Fairmont, W.Va. The band is made up of lead singer Craig DeBastiani, lead guitarist Joshua Lucas, drummer Sean Cochran, guitarist Neil Wallace, Corwin Hoban on bass and Louis Falbo on keyboard. The band’s music is available at http:// culturethief.bandcamp. com/.

Founded in 2010, The Howdy comes from right here in Morgantown, W.Va. The indie soul band is composed of Jarrod Lee Ott on guitar and vocals, Sarah Ott on synth and Danielle on drums. The band’s influences include The Hold Steady, The Black Keys and

James Brown.

Alt-punk band False Pterodactyl has two members: Jake and Josh from Flatwoods, W.Va. The band is currently local to the Morgantown area.

False Pterodactyl is working on a new album, which will be released within the next month.

Then, the band will go on tour with another band familiar with the local music scene, High Fives and Hell Yeahs.

For tour dates, visit the band’s Facebook page. To listen to its music, visit http://falsepterodactyl. bandcamp.com/.

The Furr was founded in 2012. Its members are Eli Pollard on vocals, Francisco Amaya on guitar, Liz Pavlovic on drums and bassist Geoff Minnear, who also plays in the local outfit Ghost House.

“I think The Furr plays a pretty unique blend of psych, garage rock and punk,” Pavlovic said.

She also said the band uses a theremin, an instrumental device created in the 1920s. According to Pavlovic, the band’s sound is comparable to The Amps, Sleigh Bells and the White Stripes.

Pavlovic said The Furr is very excited for tonight’s performances.

“Culture Thief was kind enough to invite us to play with them after they heard us on U92,” Pavlovic said. “I haven’t seen them live, so I’m excited for that. I also always really enjoy seeing The Howdy and False Pterodactyl live; they’re all super nice people and great musicians.”

Pavlovic said the show is a great way to support local bands and to meet new people. The Furr’s website is http://thefurr.bandcamp.com/.

The show will take place at 10 p.m. tonight at 123 Pleasant Street. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

‘Mudbloods’ documentary follows Quidditch World Cup Farria Ashfaq A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

In the new documentary, “Mudbloods: A film about Quidditch,” Director Farzad Sangari leads us into the world of real-life quidditch.

The film follows the UCLA Quidditch team as it makes its journey to the fifth annual Quidditch World Cup in New York.

The film also introduces us to the greatest Harry Potter fan in the world, Katie Aiani, and the founder and CEO of U.S. Quidditch, Alex Benepe.

It was interesting to find out there is a greatest Harry Potter fan in the world, which was determined by a contest Aiani entered. Her collection of Harry Potter memorabilia has an estimated worth of $70,000.

Although this was a unique story, it really did not have a place in this film.

The film is about quidditch and how the game is becoming a more popular sport that has been adopted by many colleges, and Katie Aiani has nothing to do with that.

She had no place in the film, and the focus of the film should have been only on the players of the UCLA team.

When the UCLA team does arrive at the World Cup, you will be stunned and almost proud of the fact that these underdogs were able to make it to the event they were dreaming about for months.

Where to shop, Black Friday deals Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

America has about a week until the madness of holiday shopping begins, and it all starts the evening of Thanksgiving with preBlack Friday deals.

In terms of pricing on deals and the best bang for your buck, here are the stores that have a variety of products on sale for Black Friday and what the best options might be for you as a shopper.

Walmart opens at 6 p.m.

Thursday evening for early doorbuster steals. Compared with Best Buy and Target, Walmart has the best pricing on televisions with 50-inch TVs going for $218 and many other rollbacks on flat screens.

Walmart will have Beats

by Dre headphones on sale, the Solo style, for $99, while Target will have them for $97 and Best Buy has the best price at $79.

Electronics are taking the cake for the most competition this year.

The Xbox One will be priced at $329 from Walmart with a copy of “Halo: The Master Chief Collection.” Best Buy has the Xbox console, Kinect sensor, “Assassin’s Creed: Unity,” “Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag” and “Dance Central” all for $429, along with a free controller upon purchase of this bundle. Target is selling the Xbox One for $329, as well, and it comes with a $50 Target gift card, which is enough to purchase any video game from there, especially on Black Friday.

The PlayStation 4 is going for $399 at Walmart,

Target and Best Buy, and all stores are selling a copy of “Grand Theft Auto V” with it.

Next up on the hot list are this year’s breakout cell phones. At Walmart, AT&T and Verizon, users on certain plans can get the iPhone 6 for $0 down as long as they stay on the plan for $197 with a two-year activation. The iPhone 5S is going for $99 with a two-year contract, and the Galaxy S5 can also be purchased with $0 down for being on a lease plan with your carrier.

At Target, the Galaxy S5 is going for 1 cent with a two-year contract, and the iPhone 6 is lower than Walmart at $179 on a twoyear plan. The iPhone 5S will be sold for $79 with a contract, and both the iPhones will come with a free $30 Target gift card.

Best Buy has the best deal on the iPhone 6 at $99 with activation and a trade in of your other smart phone. The iPhone 5S will be $1, while the Galaxy S5 will be $1 with two-year activation. All iPhones included in these deals are 16GB, so larger sizes will be more money.

Other items marked down at Walmart are perfect for college freshmen who are signing leases for an apartment following the holidays. A good selection of kitchen items are going for $9.77, including crock pots, griddles, waffle makers and coffee makers.

Handler apologizes for racist remark at awards Fashion Friday NEW YORK (AP) — Daniel Handler is apologizing for comments made at the National Book Awards that have been criticized as racist.

The author sometimes known as “Lemony Snicket” hosted Wednesday night’s ceremony in Manhattan, where one of the winners was Jacque-

line Woodson’s “Brown Girl Dreaming.” After Woodson collected her prize, Handler gestured to her and mentioned an exchange that he had said he would make public only should she win. He had learned that Woodson was allergic to watermelon and suggested she mention it in a book. She

in turn suggested that he mention it.

“And I said, `I’m only writing a book about a black girl who’s allergic to watermelon if I get a blurb from you, Cornel West, Toni Morrison and Barack Obama saying, `This guy’s OK. This guy’s fine,’” he said to mild laughter from a crowd of hundreds.

On Thursday, Handler tweeted that he had meant to celebrate the achievements

of Woodson and others and that his “ill-conceived attempts at humor” had distracted from that.

“I clearly failed, and I’m sorry,” he wrote.

A spokeswoman for Woodson at her publisher, Penguin Young Readers Group, said the author was “not commenting at this time.”

Handler, one of the country’s most popular young adult writers, also made jokes about Amazon.com and the perceived lack of glamour in publishing. He made another racial comment earlier in the evening, when he said that he would never win a Coretta Scott King Award, named for the widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and given to African-American authors.

Alabama rolls to No. 1, race for No. 4 heats up

College Football (AP) – With just three weeks until the College Football Playoff committee releases its final rankings, Alabama, Oregon and Florida State seem to be in control of their championship chances.

Keeping winning and the Crimson Tide, Ducks and Seminoles should be in.

The race for the fourth and final spot in the playoff is shaping up to be a tussle between four teams.

Alabama jumped from fifth to first after handing previously undefeated and top-ranked Mississippi State its first loss on Saturday. The Bulldogs slid to fourth.

Oregon remained in second place and Florida State in third. The Seminoles are the only undefeated team left in a Big

Five conference.

Florida State fans might not be happy about how their team is being treated, but the Seminoles appear to be safe if they can keep winning right through the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

Same goes with Alabama in the Southeastern Conference and Oregon in the Pac-12.

After that, things get complicated.

Mississippi State is followed by TCU, which slipped to No. 5 after a closer-than-expected win against Kansas on Saturday. Ohio State moved up two spots to No. 6, ahead of TCU’s Big 12 rival Baylor.

The Bulldogs play Vanderbilt on Saturday but finish the regular season at Ole Miss, giving them a chance for another resume-boosting victory.

They could use it because their best wins from early in the season (LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn) have been tarnished a bit lately.

Ohio State is in position to play in the Big Ten championship if it wins out.

The Big 12 has no conference championship game. TCU and Baylor would be co-champs if each finishes 11-1, but Baylor beat the Horned Frogs in Waco, Texas last month.

The selection protocol calls for the committee to use championships won as a tiebreaker if teams have similar resumes.

Selection Committee chairman Jeff Long said “the differences between teams four through seven are narrow, very narrow.”

Whether it’s narrow enough to allow TCU, Ohio

State or Baylor to jump past Mississippi State if one of those teams wins its conference and Mississippi State doesn’t remains to be seen.

“I don’t think there is any way to project that,” said Long, the athletic director at Arkansas. “It will certainly be weighed into the equation on Dec. 6 and 7.”

The committee releases its final rankings on Dec. 7, the day after most of the conference championship games are played.

Long said Alabama controlled the game in its 2520 victory against Mississippi State enough to earn the big promotion this week. Alabama led by two scores in the fourth quarter and Mississippi State cut the lead to five with a touchdown with 15 seconds left.

Now their eyeing a second upset in a row when they host the Rebels. Ole Miss will use the nation’s best defense — which is giving up just 11.9 points per game — to try and stop Arkansas’ productive running duo of Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins.

The Rebels need a win to stay in contention for the SEC Western Division title and the College Football Playoff.

MATCHUP OF THE WEEK: Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs vs. Missouri pass rush: Tennessee’s offense has looked entirely different since Dobbs took over as the Volunteers’ starting quarterback. In two starts, Dobbs has accounted for 1,079 total yards and 11 touchdowns over his last three games. Tennessee has averaged 47.5 points in Dobbs’ two starts. But those starts came against South Carolina and Kentucky, two of the SEC’s worst defenses. Dobbs could face a much tougher test against No. 19 Missouri, which ranks fourth in the SEC in scoring defense and is tied for 13th among all Football Bowl Subdivision teams with 32 sacks.

NUMBERS GAME: Arkansas is one of only two teams in the nation with two running backs to rush for over 800 yards this season. Williams has 932

yards rushing while Collins has 886. This marks the sixth time the Razorbacks have played a team ranked 20th or higher in the AP poll over its last seven games. If Mississippi State beats Vanderbilt on Saturday, it will be the Bulldogs’ first perfect season at home since 1999. The Commodores have lost all six of their SEC games by at least 10 points.

LONG SHOT: Missouri is in the Top 25 and controls its fate in the Eastern Division race. Tennessee has been out of conference title contention for weeks and needed a twogame winning streak just to get back to .500. Yet the Volunteers are favored by 3 ½ points in Saturday’s matchup at Neyland Stadium. Tennessee is at home and arguably has improved as much as any team in the conference over the last few weeks, but Missouri is comfortable playing in hostile environments. Missouri has won nine straight road games over the last two seasons.

IMPACT PERFORMER: Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott had a rough day against Alabama last weekend, throwing three interceptions in a 25-20 loss.

It’s been part of a troubling trend for the junior.

He’s now thrown eight interceptions over the past five games and is tied for the SEC lead in picks with 10. His improvement — or lack thereof — during the next few weeks against Vanderbilt and rival Mississippi will be a big factor in the Bulldogs’ push for a spot in the College Football Playoff.

West Virginia to finish home season against Baylor by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team will conclude its home season today against the Baylor Bears. The Mountaineers (14-13, 4-9 Big 12) are coming off a sweep against Texas Tech Saturday and have three matches remaining this season.

Earlier this season, WVU beat Baylor in Waco, Texas, in four sets, 3-1. West Virginia hit .263 in that match and also had seven serving aces. Jordan Anderson led the Mountaineers with 19 kills and 10 digs for a double-double.

Against Texas Tech, Anderson hit 13 kills, six digs and two block assists. Blocking was huge in the Baylor game as they out-blocked the Bears 11-7. Baylor junior Andie Malloy hit 20 kills in the first matchup against WVU on a .292 clip.

The Bears are coming off a loss to No. 3 Texas, 3-1, Wednesday night.

Malloy is still leading the team in kills with 424 on the season, averaging 3.89 per set. On the WVU side, Anderson has 442 this season, hitting 4.60 per set for a hitting percentage of .235 overall.

In their loss against Texas, Malloy hit only five kills on a .038 clip; she had four attacking errors, which hurt her percentage. Keeping WVU de-

“It’s our last week to practice in the Coliseum. We’ve never beat Baylor at home, and this team is all about firsts.

That’s our goal, to do some things we haven’t done before,” Kramer said.

As the season con-

cludes, four members of the team have been named to the 2014 Academic AllBig 12 Volleyball teams.

Named to the first team are Anderson, Nikki Attea and Hannah Sackett.

Anna Panagiotakopoulos was named to the second team. Members of the first team are athletes with a 3.2 or better GPA, while second team players have between a 3.0 and 3.19 GPA. This is the second time for Anderson. Attea and Sackett each have been named to the Academic Team, and it’s Panagiotakopoulos’ third year being honored.

Tonight is also senior night. The only senior on the team, Evyn McCoy, will be honored in her final home match. McCoy will go into this match leading the team with a season total of 77 blocks, 87 kills, averaging a .250 hitting percentage over the season, 14 serving aces and 44 digs.

In her freshman season, she led the Mountaineers with 82 blocks and started in every set and match.

In her sophomore year, she played in 102 sets and started 25 matches, finishing with 162 kills and leading the team again with 82 blocks. Last season, McCoy put up 117 blocks, 25 serving aces and 182 kills.

The match against Baylor is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Vick changed NFL with legs, but arms still win NFL (AP) – The milestone came and went, chronicled with a blurb that got second billing to the news that his team actually won a game.

So much has happened between the time Michael Vick came into the NFL, with the promise of a man who might change offense forever, and a week ago Sunday, when he led the Jets to their second win of the season while also becoming the first quarterback to reach 6,000 yards rushing in his career.

“People would tell me that I could revolutionize the game,” Vick said of the reaction he received when he was drafted No. 1 out of Virginia Tech in 2001.

In the 13 years since his arrival as the fastest man on the field who also happened to have the strongest arm, Vick may not have changed the game completely. But his impact has been palpable - most notably, in the way quarterbacks and offenses have evolved in high school, college and the pros.

Robert Griffin III, Tim Tebow, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are among those who can thank Vick for clearing their path into the NFL. “There have been plenty of others like us, and plenty more to come,” Vick said.

But while Wilson has a Super Bowl ring and Kaepernick has been to the big game, they have not, by any means, redefined success at the quarterback position. This season’s five highest-rated quarterbacks are Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Tom Brady.

All of them pocket passers who have a total of 4,920 career yards rushing among them; heading into Week 12, all their teams were leading their respective divisions in wins, too.

“Being able to run the ball is nice,” says mobile Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who played receiver for a good chunk of his college career.

“But at the end of the day, a quarterback’s job is to get the ball to the receivers.”

Now 34 and in his 12th NFL season, Vick has spent most of his career trying to find a comfort zone in the pocket. That transformation started before he ever took an NFL snap, and kept progressing after his forced twoyear hiatus while he was in prison for running a dogfighting ring.

Vick’s first NFL coach, Dan Reeves, had worked with a mobile quarterback named John Elway through the 1980s and also played with Roger Staubach in the 1960s and `70s. Reeves was well

You could put a spy “I don’t know that (Vick) on him and still not have changed anything,” Reeves anyone be able to catch said. “The thing that was him. You went in hoping different about Mike was he could use that to his advantage, but also get more comfortable going through progressions and being able to deliver the ball on time.”

The project has had mixed results. Vick accomplished a lot of firsts, among them the first to throw for 250 yards and run for 100 in a game, and VS first quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season. But his career passer rating sits at 80.7. He has a 61-52-1 record as a starter.

He’s won only two playoff games.

Clearly, though, his impact is measured in more than wins, losses and statistics.

Without Vick, many of the wide-open college schemes seen today wouldn’t have gained acceptance as quickly to best exploit the talents of RG3, Free WVU student shuttle bus service will be available from the Mountainlair & the Brooke/Braxton Towers loop Tebow, Newton, Kaeperan hour leading up to the game’s start time.

run, filter from college to the pros. Now, high school quarterbacks are being taught how to line up in the pistol and throw from a five-receiver set.

“I didn’t realize it then, but now it makes me feel great,” Vick said. “I’m like, ‘I started this. I started this trend.’”

Among those still finding their way is Newton, who has been asked to tailor his game to what works in the NFL, not at Auburn.

He was sacked nine times two Sundays ago in a loss to the Eagles.

Griffin has been injured or ineffective through most of Years 2-3 in the league after winning the 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year award.

Tebow, famously, is out of the NFL, in large part because he couldn’t master the pocket pass.

Wilson has been a success, though whether it’s because of his mobility or in spite of it is up for debate. He has rushed for 100 yards in four games; the Seahawks are 2-2 in those contests. Kaepernick’s critics are quick to point out his career 93.2 passer rating - pedestrian in an era when 100s and 110s win the

most.

Then there are the quarterbacks who were doing what Vick does well before he became a force. Among his mostcited predecessors : Steve Young and Randall Cunningham.

“I was Randall times 10,” Vick said. “I’m not boasting about it. It’s just what God created.”

Young led the 49ers to the 1995 Super Bowl title during a season in which both his rushing attempts and yardage went down about 33 percent from the three previous years. Also that season, he completed more than 70 percent of his passes for the only time.

The closest Cunningham got to a Super Bowl was during the 1998 season with Minnesota, when he ran only 32 times for 132 yards and had a passer rating of more than 100 for the only time in his career.

In other words, both before Vick and since, mobile quarterbacks who made it their first priority to throw have enjoyed the most success.

“The game has changed,” Reeves said.

“But you’ve still got to be able to throw the football.”

BACK TO BACK TO BACK

Freshman Zeke Moisey, who took third at the MSU Open and defeated Arizona State’s Judson Preskitt, 12-2, faces a tough path to placing at 125. All six place-winners return from last year, including No. 7 Ryan Taylor of Wisconsin, No. 16 Sean Boyle of Chattanooga, No. 17 Paul Petrov of Bucknell and No. 19 Ben Willeford of Cleveland State.

Sophomore Jake A. Smith faces a similar challenge at 197. All six place-winners return, including No. 11 Timmy McCall of Wisconsin, No. 13 Phil Wellington of Ohio and No. 17 Abram Ayala of Princeton.

Smith earned a 6-1 decision over Arizona State’s Wesley Moore in his home debut.

The 165-pound weight class also returns all six place-winners from last year, providing a sizeable challenge for junior Tim Wheeling. However, No. 8 Corey Mock of Chattanooga and No. 18 Harrison Hightower of Ohio are the only ranked grapplers competing at 165.

After last year’s ninthplace finish, West Virginia, under first-year head coach Sammie Henson, looks to have more success this time around. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia drops third-straight game, falls short against No. 12 Kansas State Thursday by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia’s Senior Night was spoiled by No. 12 Kansas State Thursday night, as the Wildcats defeated the Mountaineers, 26-20.

Kansas State uncharacteristically committed seven penalties and lost a fumble on a kick return in the second quarter, but West Virginia’s fate was ultimately sealed by its four turnovers. Despite being held to -5 rushing yards, the Wildcats effectively controlled the game through the air.

“Once again, we came up a little bit short against a top quality team,” said West

Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Congratulations to Coach (Bill) Snyder. They’re a tough team to beat. You can’t make mistakes, and we made too many mistakes.”

Receiver Tyler Lockett was a thorn in the Mountaineers’ side all night, finishing with 10 receptions for 196 yards and a punt return for a touchdown.

“I don’t normally do this, but I went over to (Tyler) Lockett and I said I really am glad that you’re graduating,” Holgorsen said.

“He’s the best player we’ve played all year,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.

Quarterback Clint Trickett was unable to get in sync with his receivers and left

the game in the third quarter with a concussion, according to Holgorsen. FCS transfer Skyler Howard grabbed the reigns and led the Mountaineers on two scoring drives, including a six-play, 80-yard drive with 7:23 remaining in the fourth quarter. “(Howard) went in there and didn’t bat an eye. He was confident and comfortable and his communication was perfect – the protection was not,” Holgorsen said. “I can’t tell you how impressed I was with how he went in there and performed.”

Although there were some nerves, Howard said he was ready when his number was called late in the third quarter.

“The thing about being a backup quarterback is you have to stay ready,” Howard said. “I go through the same practices Clint (Trickett) does and throw to the same guys.”

After West Virginia was forced to punt the ball on its first possession of the game, running back Wendell Smallwood fumbled the exchange from Trickett on Kansas State’s 4-yard line. Although the Wildcats were unable to produce points off the turnover, kicker Matthew McCrane nailed a 36-yard field goal to put the Wildcats up 10-0.

Lockett extended Kansas State’s lead after returning an errant punt by Nick O’Toole for a 43-yard touchdown.

“(It was a) horrible punt.

Our whole team went right and he miss-hit it left,” Holgorsen said. “That’s not a coaching error, that’s a player error.”

A 53-yard touchdown pass to Mario Alford with 7:23 remaining in the game nearly brought West Virginia back, but the Mountaineers were unable to recover an onside kick after Josh Lambert hit a 25-yard field goal to draw within nine.

“I was proud of their effort and how they hung in there,” Holgorsen said. “But like Texas, if you play one half of football you’re going to get beat.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

land State, George Mason, Kent State, North Carolina, No. 24 Ohio, Princeton and Wisconsin.

Junior Bubba Scheffel finished second in the 174-pound weight class at the tournament last year, while senior A.J. Vizcarrondo finished sixth at heavyweight. Scheffel posted a 5-1 record Nov. 2 at the Michigan State Open, finishing fifth at 184. He looks to bounce back from last week’s loss to Arizona State’s Blake Stauffer, who is ranked No. 8 in the nation at 184, according to Intermat.

Vizcarrondo is one of four returning heavyweights who placed in the top six last year. The list includes No. 6 Connor Medbery of Wisconsin, who finished first, No. 14 Joe Stolfi of Bucknell and Navy’s Colynn Cook.

Senior Mike Morales looks to continue his hot streak to start the season.

Morales went 4-2 at the MSU Open, finishing sixth at 141. Morales also defeated Arizona State’s Mech Spraggins in sudden death last week.

Princeton’s Adam Krop, who finished second at 141 a year ago, returns to the Navy Classic this year, along with No. 14 Joey Ward of North Carolina.

Hoops is heading in right direction It’s an exciting time for West Virginia men’s basketball – bright signs are surrounding the Mountaineers.

Led by veteran head coach Bob Huggins, who currently sits in third place for the most wins by an active coach in Division 1 basketball, the Mountaineers are beginning their third season of play in the Big 12 with a lot to look forward to.

Although I do not view the 2014-15 Mountaineers as anywhere close to the elite of the Big 12 – like I do when it comes to the Jayhawks, the Longhorns and the Cyclones of the conference – that doesn’t mean the Mountaineers have nothing to play for.

Actually, it’s far from that.

The way I see it: The Mountaineers have had a few seasons of struggles, and although reaching the NCAA Tournament once March comes around can easily be considered an accomplishment in itself for West Virginia, the meaning to this season is different for me.

After a first round bounce from the NIT Tournament last season against Georgetown, not even making any tournament during the horrific 201213 season and losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Gonzaga during the 2011-12 season, the positives of Huggins’ program have been hard to come across over the past three seasons.

However, I see the culture of West Virginia basketball changing this season, and that’s primarily due to the players and the chemistry seen early on between each of them.

Senior guard Juwan Staten was named the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, and, to me, that means a lot without even knowing the numerous strengths of this incredible athlete.

For one, Staten only stands at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds – not the biggest player whatsoever – but the way he plays the game of basketball in such a smooth and respectable way is one key the Mountaineers have on their side, and his leadership is prevalent on and off the court, as well.

Another huge attribute for the Mountaineers this season is sophomore forward Devin Williams. After seeing just how solid of a player the Cincinnati native is towards the end of last season, Williams has come out this season with a lot to say about his team’s potential.

“We’re still getting better,” Williams said. “A lot of people we have this year are still trying to get the hang of it, and I do think we can do something special and get back to where it has been in West Virginia and that’s the scary part.”

As time progresses and the team continues to find its identity and gets into a flow of play, the potential for many players stepping up and helping the Mountaineers be victorious is great, and that’s something Williams made clear.

“A lot of the guys that just came in, like Jaysean (Paige) – he hasn’t even shown his highest peak, (and) we haven’t seen what Tarik (Phillip) can do,” he said. “When everyone comes back and we’re rolling, it can really be something special. We just (have) to stay together, that’s the most important part.”

Something special may be brewing for the Mountaineers, but for now, working on getting ready for Big 12 play, which begins Jan. 3 against TCU, should be on top of all the players in Huggins’ locker room.
