SGA maps out 2013-14 project goals By Laura haight correspondent
The Student Government Association has big plans for the 2013-14 academic year, starting with a list of 60 projects to better the West Virginia University campus. Student body president Ryan Campione and vice president, Ben Seebaugh, compiled a list of projects ranging from advocating college affordability to the funding of club sports. Campione used skills from an engineering class
to build a computer program that creates an outline of the projects SGA hopes to accomplish this year. The outline pulls information from all over SGA to track progress. “This list has never been done in student government before,” Campione said. Campione said he thinks students should be aware of S GA’s doings. “You can always be on the same page as everyone else about what is going on in SGA and how we’re
progressing.” Ashley Morgan, athletic councilor, is working with the Athletic Department on club sports funding and student involvement. “The major concern is students don’t know how to get involved, where to get involved, or what to do to get involved,” Morgan said. According to Morgan, SGA is compiling a list of club sports’ practice times on a website. Morgan is also attempting to get Mountie Bounty into the stadiums, which
would make concession purchases more convenient for students. During the SGA campaign last spring, students had the opportunity to voice what they thought WVU needs. Among these suggestions were transgender bathrooms and resource pamphlets for student organizations. These student opinions had a major impact on the project list. “Some of these projects we never would have thought of had it not been
for recommendations from students,” Campione said. Campione is looking forward to creating a counseling service for students who have endured a traumatic event during their academic career. “There are some professors who are extremely good at helping students out in times of need,” Campione said. “We want to put together a panel of professors who have handled situations really well in the past and create ‘tips and tricks’ from the best (professors).”
The counseling services will include a follow-up with students after their counseling sessions end. SGA officials are tracking progress by having monthly meetings. They are also making use of the computer program to track completion in percentages. Officials hope to make the project list available to the public online, but it is currently posted in the SGA office. For more information on SGA, visit sga.wvu.edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu
SPLAT WVU Paintball club invites new members to try hand at the trigger by Shelby Toompas staff writer
With approximately 40 clubs at West Virginia University, each and every student can find an extracurricular activity that suits them. Drew Irvin, President of WVU’s Paintball Club, said he started the club back up last winter. Irvin recruited members from the paintball social network, PBnation.com, and contacted members through Facebook. “The club started in the early 2000s, but after the team went to nationals and lost a lot of its seniors, no one picked it back up,” Irvin said. “After talking to a few other individuals, we decided to start the organization back up and get it where it was.” In the past, the club has played against UNC Charlotte, East Carolina University, Coastal Carolina University, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and James Madison University. “We’ve enjoyed the sport and we’re growing this year,” Irvin said. “As of right now, there are 20 members.” As a member of the National Collegiate Paintball Association, the club hopes to travel and compete against more paintball teams in its conference this year. Jonathan Michael, a previous member of the club and senior business student, said he played paint-
ball throughout high school and joined the club as a freshman at WVU. “When I first started my freshman year, we had about 10 members, and it eventually grew to about 20,” Michael said. Michael said paintball tends to be very expensive as well. “You have a non-reusable item you’re playing with, so it adds up if you don’t already have the gear ahead of time,” he said. The Paintball Club is looking forward to recruiting more students as the semester goes on. “It’s a really fun sport and it gets your adrenaline going,” Michael said. “It’s definitely something I think everyone should try once.” Paintball might be costly and time-consuming, but all students are encouraged to give it a try. “A lot of people are afraid of it because they hear it’s painful or it’s not fun, but I’ve met people who have played for the first time and they have all enjoyed it,” Michael said. The club plans to have two tournament teams, as well as recreational teams. “We want everyone to go out and have fun,” Irvin said. Irvin said the club would like to plan

The wait is finally over. Beech View Place apartments are now open and leasing after two-and-a half years of construction. Beech View Place, located along Beechurst Avenue, offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments for up to 420 students. The building also houses a variety of shops and bistros. Tim Janidas, a managing partner of Beech View Place, said although there wasn’t a formal announcement of the complex’s completion, he is excited to showcase the nearly finished product, one project he believes has been well worth the wait.

“We wanted to have nice housing and safe housing. There are a lot of rundown properties here and we noticed that a lot of the nicer apartments were out of town, so we thought that making something in walking distance would be better,” Janidas said. Even though residents are within walking distance from the main Downtown campus, Beech View Place also offers parking spots for 355 residents in its parking garage. “Parking’s a premium here in town. A lot of people are concerned in Morgantown because there’s not enough parking. Residents get upset when the students come in and park their cars everywhere,” Janidas said.
Although the apartments are open and ready for students, the bottom floor, which consists of shops and bistros, will not be open until late September. The shops will consist of a grocery store, a gyro shop, Cafe Euro (straight from Greece), a hot food restaurant with items such as hotdogs and hamburgers, as well as tanning, beauty and nail salons. While Janidas said the apartments are only about 30 percent full, he can’t really see any disadvantages of living there. “It was built for student housing. …There’s great quality of living space, its quiet and convenient,

3 teens charged in death of Australian player
AP
Jennifer Luna, right, the mother of 16-year-old murder suspect Chancey Luna, turns away from the media following a court appearance by her son. DUNCAN, Okla. (AP) — With a motive that’s both chilling and simple – to break up the boredom of an Oklahoma summer – three teenagers randomly targeted an Australian collegiate baseball player who was attending school in the U.S. and killed him for fun, prosecutors said Tuesday as they charged two of the boys with murder. Prosecutor Jason Hicks called the boys “thugs” as he described how Christopher Lane, 22, of Melbourne, was shot once in the back and died along a tree-lined road on Duncan’s well-todo north side. He said the three teens, from the grittier part of town, chose Lane at random and that one of the boys “thinks it’s all a joke.” Hicks charged Chancey Allen Luna, 16, and James Francis Edwards, Jr., 15, of Duncan, with first-degree murder. Under Oklahoma law they will be tried as adults. Michael Dewayne Jones, 17, of Duncan, was charged with using a vehicle in the discharge of a weapon and with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. He is considered a youthful offender but will be tried in adult court. Jones wept in the courtroom after he tried to speak about the incident but was cut off by the judge who said it wasn’t the time to sort out the facts of the case. Jones faces anywhere from two years to life in prison if
convicted on the counts he faces. The two younger teens face life in prison without parole if convicted on the murder charge. “I’m appalled,” Hicks said after the hearing. “This is not supposed to happen in this community.” In court, Hicks said Luna was sitting in the back seat of a car when he pulled the trigger on a .22 caliber revolver and shot Lane once in the back. Hicks said Jones was driving the vehicle and Edwards was in the passenger seat. Edwards has had prior run-ins with the law and came to court Friday – apparently after the shooting – to sign documents related to his juvenile probation. “I believe this man is a threat to the community and should not be let out,” Hicks said as he requested no bond for Edwards. “He thinks it’s all a joke.” The two younger boys were held without bond; bond was set at $1 million for Jones. Before the hearing, Edwards’ father, James Edwards Sr., said he knew where his son was 95 percent of the time and would call or text him. The 15-yearold was involved in wrestling and football, his father said, and was trying to forge the same sort of athletic career as Lane. He was heading into his sophomore year in high school.
Edwards Sr. said Luna was also like a son to him. Luna’s mother, Jennifer Luna, said her son likes to play basketball at a local court and play on his iPhone and Xbox. “I know my son. He is a good kid,” she said. Lane played baseball at East Central University in Ada, 85 miles east of Duncan, and had been visiting his girlfriend and her parents in Duncan after he and his girlfriend returned to the U.S. from Australia about a week ago. Duncan police Chief Dan Ford has said the boys wanted to overcome a boring end to their summer vacation – classes in Duncan resumed Tuesday – and that Jones told officers they were bored and killed Lane for “the fun of AP it.” Liz Fleetwood, left, comforts her friend, Rachel Padilla, the sister of 15-year-old murder suspect James Edwards Jr., after Family and friends finding out bail has been denied for Edwards following a court appearance. on two continents were mourning Lane, who gave up pursuit of an Australian football career to pursue his passion for baseball, an American pastime.

UPD attributes minimal FallFest incidents to new regulations The West Virginia University Police Department has released its incident report following FallFest Monday night.

School of Art & Design to kick off crocheted tree art project BY LAcEY PALMER A&E EDITOR
One tree on campus will look much different after the West Virginia University School of Art & Design completes a unique creative event in conjunction with Morgantown’s 2013 celebration of “The Year of the Tree,” which sets out to protect the trees in our city. Visiting artist Carol Hummel will work alongside students, faculty, staff and the community as they cover the large tree located near the road between the Coliseum and the Creative Arts Center with colorful, blue and gold crocheted yarn. The school of Art & Design is reaching out to the University and the community to find volunteers who can knit and crochet to assist in the project. In order to protect the tree, Hummel will use an open stitch for this temporary project, which will allow the tree to breathe without damaging its growth, according to Dylan Collins, visiting assistant professor and project manager. Hummel’s yarn is also synthetic; therefore it will hold its color well. “With both this project and the groundbreaking for the Art Museum of WVU happening in September, there’s a lot of exciting activity in the local art community,” Collins said. “We
are excited to share with passersby the numerous ways the College of Creative Arts has a positive impact on our community. Because Carol’s project is coordinated with Morgantown’s ‘Year of the Tree’ celebration, we hope this installation cultivates an appreciation for the positive impact trees have on our community.” Collins has personally known Hummel for over a decade; they both attended Kent State University and earned their Master of Fine Arts degrees there. Hummel has quite the impressive resume with similar installations on trees in Chicago, Cleveland Heights, Oh., Drangedal, Norway and New Delhi, India. “Carol is one of the most talented, hardworking people I have ever met,” Collins said. “Her numerous installation projects around the world have given her a unique, global perspective on the art world, and we are fortunate to be hosting her at WVU.” Hummel, along with the rest of the visiting artists at the School of Art & Design this year, was selected as part of the School’s Global Positioning Studies (GPS) initiative, which positions students at the crossroads between a local sense of place and a global understanding of that place in the world.
This tree in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, is covered in yarn as part of a project by visiting artist Carol Hummel. “This initiative is built on direct, hands-on experience, which is a critical aspect of Carol’s art making process,” Collins said. “Therefore, we believe our students are going to get an unbeatable educational experience from working with her.”
Collins believes this project is vital to the University. “This project is important because it showcases the vibrant role the arts play in our University,” Collins said. “This project will be displayed in a public, high-visibility area, and as such, it will become a sym-
bol for the amazing creativity brimming forth from the College of Creative Arts.” To get involved with the project, attend one of the information sessions happening this week at the Arts Monongahela Gallery tonight at 7 p.m. and at the
thriveprograms.org
Creative Arts Center Thursday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. in Room 2251. All sessions are free and open to the public. To view other examples of Hummel’s work, visit www.carolhummel.com. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu
Pure Romance offers unique at-home party idea for women, career opportunities BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR
A new type of party is taking over college campuses everywhere. Pure Romance sponsors parties much like Pampered Chef but with very different items. “Pure Romance is an inhome party plan that specializes in a ‘girl’s night in,’” said advanced consultant Anna Casale. “Our mission is to empower, educate and entertain women while selling an elegant line of relationship enhancement products.” There are a variety of items at a Pure Romance party including scented lotions and adult toys. However, Casale said that the company’s purpose goes beyond that. “We sell so much more than ‘toys,’” Casale said. “Our parties focus on helping ladies build both their self confidence and sexual health knowledge.” According to Casale, the focus on education and women’s sexual health sets Pure Romance apart from similar companies. “Our founder, Patty Brisben, started the company 20 years ago with the idea that women would not only have fun but would also leave knowing more and feeling more confident,” she said.
Casale said she rarely comes across any uncomfortable guests at the parties she has hosted. “In my experience, when ladies have attended my parties, they are surprised at how comfortable they felt and how many products they loved,” Casale said. Aside from “showing and telling” all of the products at the party, the group also plays a few games and has food and drinks during the party as well. “Women love having a girl’s night where they can laugh and unwind with friends, learn new things and leave with awesome products,” Casale said. “The atmosphere is always fun and relaxed.” According to Casale, hosts and guests must be 18 years or older to have a party. “By hosting a party, young ladies will have the opportunity to be educated in sexual health in a comfortable atmosphere while also having fun with their friends,” Casale said. “Plus, when they host a qualifying party, they can get a lot of great products for free.” When you sell a certain amount of product through a party you host, you become eligible for a certain amount of free product afterward. Casale also encourages involvement in the actual
company, as she believes it provides much flexibility and room to grow. “If any lady would like to make some extra cash or even make a career, they can also contact the corporate office or go to the website to get details on starting their own business,” Casale said. According to Casale, consultants have training opportunities regularly where
they receive the most accurate, up-to-date sexual health information from leading doctors and experts in the industry, along with ideas on how to keep things entertaining at the parties. “By being a consultant, women have the opportunity to work for themselves,” Casale said. “They get to set their own hours and make their schedule fit into their lives, as consultants work
their business how they want. “Therefore, if they just need some fun money for spring break, need to pay utilities or want to work up to a six-figure salary, Pure Romance will provide them the tools to do it.” To receive more information or host a party of your own, call 1-866-ROMANCE or visit www.pureromance.com to request a

consultant. “I love my job because I get to change women’s lives,” Casale said. “I don’t dread going to work, and I have an awesome network of women all around the world that are my colleagues that share ideas and attend trainings to support one another – not a lot of people can say that.” lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Random violence a result of boredom
ap
Sarah Harper, Christopher Lane’s girlfriend, stands beside a memorial along the road where police say Lane was shot and killed Friday in Duncan, Okla. Assault, rape and murder are unfortunately a larger part of our society than we would like to imagine. And living in the relatively small city of Morgantown makes it hard to understand the daily violence that occurs in larger cities and harder still to comprehend the intensity that goes along with living in a gang-oriented area or the risk involved just stepping foot outside your front door. In the big scheme of things, Morgantown is a safe place to live, and it’s difficult to think any differently of the place we have come to call home.
But with the recent murder of Christopher Lane, a 22-year-old Australian college baseball player in Duncan, Oklahoma – a city of 24,000 people, compared to Morgantown’s 30,000 – it’s apparent that even small towns are susceptible to such atrocities. What is even more disturbing about what happened to Lane, who was shot running along the street, was that the motive for his death appeared to be an extreme case of normal teenage boredom. “We were going to kill somebody,” is the excuse one of the alleged murderers offered police when
questioned for motive. Lane was apparently chosen at random and shot in the head. The ever-increasing violence and the alarmingly young age of offenders has become a huge issue in our society. These days, people who are barely old enough to drive are as much of a threat as fully grown adults. So why are younger and younger children committing such heinous acts? For one, there is the issue of boredom. While most of us resolve this through school activities, Netflix binges, clubs and sports, many teenagers do not have the opportunity or
the interest to keep themselves off the street and away from the influence of violence. While many maintain that people who commit these acts of violence have an inherent nature to do so, there is one aspect that we as a community can take advantage of: the nurturing of these at-risk people. While children often receive the benefit of specialized clubs and organizations, whose very aim is to get them away from the mess that of streets and into a more loving and supportive area, often this idea falls short when kids reach the awkward teenage years
where these groups fail to accommodate them. Teenagers are often over-energized, and even if they do attend school for seven hours a day, there are still the off-hours of wasted time. And, because there is nothing else to do, a lot of older kids land themselves in trouble. While naturally it’s impossible to say for sure, there is the chance that, had the alleged perpetrators been busier with community projects, school clubs or other organizations, Christopher Lane may still be alive today.

University overstepped boundaries with Sunnyside demolition Molly Robinson Opinion Editor
The beginning of the school year is always a hectic time, and there is no better example of this than on move-in day. A typical move-in day includes traffic backed up for miles, lots of parties in the downtown and Sunnyside areas and hoards of new students meandering their way around Morgantown for the first time. Couple that with general excitement about the upcoming school year, frazzled parents, and the hellacious experience that is buying books, and you’ve got a textbook example of move-in day at West Virginia University. But this year there was a new addition to the bedlam that overtakes Morgantown every year around this time. Some houses, especially in the Grant Street area, proudly displayed posters addressing parents of incoming students, with statements like “We’ll teach your daughter what high school didn’t”, “Moms drink free” and “Put out or drop out.” While this is a demonstration of the sophomoric humor many students at WVU share, there is no doubt that anxious parents – and even students – were a little put off by the obvious orneriness displayed by these banners. Grant Street has been the subject of many a debate that has, in recent years, spread to involve the entire Sunnyside area. This once-infamous party street, notorious for the riot that occurred there two years previously, was partially torn down at the end of the spring semester. Along with the general confusion that accompanies such a large-scale demolition, further complaints

parties that once took place in this area of Morgantown with limited success. Beverly Avenue, just above Grant, seems to be enjoying its new house party status, as the fun that used to occur just a block away appears to have only moved up. Given WVU only has so many excuses to knock down residential buildings, it remains to be seen what actions, if any, will be taken against whatever the new Sunnyside area party place will be. At the end of the day, when more than 20,000 un-
dergraduate students are thrown together, something a little outrageous is bound to happen. While I don’t condone riots or other potentially dangerous mass revolts, the swift hand of University punishment went a bit too far. Kids will be kids, and WVU should focus less on completely obliterating the opportunity for students to enjoy our party reputation and more on ensuring students remain as safe as possible while doing so. molly.robinson@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you are more in touch with the deeper meanings of life. You also are more sensitive to the people in your life. You have the ability to walk in others’ footsteps with ease. If you are single, with this additional compassion, you will have more than your share of suitors. You do not need to commit, especially if you are enjoying being by yourself. If you are attached, your sweetie will respond positively to your kindheartedness, which adds to your mutual happiness. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Emotions could be running high right now. Though you’ll want to have an animated conversation, the other party will need more gentleness. You might have to tip-toe around
this person’s mood, but by the end of the experience, you’ll be all smiles. Tonight: Observe. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Meetings will prove to be important, as will the need to come to an agreement. You could have the kind of support you want if you’d just ask. An associate initially might seem moody, but by the end of the day, he or she will be more upbeat. Tonight: A midweek break. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by everything that is occurring around you. Life might seem demanding, especially when it comes to your career. You might be considering a move in a different direction. Be reasonable, and do what you must. Tonight: Happily live the good life.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Tap into your intuition, and realize that more answers are needed. Detach from a situation involving someone who knows how to trigger you. What starts out as a serious and heavy conversation could become a fun, light interaction. Tonight: Accept a friend’s offer. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Your spunky ways attract many people. The problem is that most of them want to be close to you, even just as friends. Expect to be extremely busy. Let someone else take over some of the tasks that can be delegated. Listen to a suggestion. Tonight: Out with a special person. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You are full of excitement. You might want to make a major change. Right now, you barely can discuss what’s
on your mind, as others keep seeking you out to help them with their issues. Transform this unbalanced situation, and you will be happier. Tonight: With friends. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH You have your hands full. Prioritize, and you’ll clear out your to-do list. People could demand a lot from you, but be sure to meet your personal needs first. Initially you might feel tense, but by late afternoon, you will be celebrating. Tonight: Do what makes you happy. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH No one will deny your creativity. You sometimes limit yourself by being negative and closing off your options. Review those decisions that were recently made, and assume a positive stance – you will see the difference. Tonight: Make sure that
music is involved, no matter what. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You might want to stay close to home or work from home. Sometimes, when people are not used to spending so much time at home, they will feel isolated. Look at the situation positively and imagine everything that you could get done. Tonight: Make an easy dinner and kick back. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Make calls and listen to what is being shared on the other end of the line. Know that you don’t need to go along with plans if you don’t want to. Be aware of someone’s generosity. If you do not feel the same way, don’t push yourself. Remain authentic. Tonight: Hang out.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Be more forthright and open with others. A money matter could come up in conversation. If you don’t feel like discussing the issue, say so rather than being evasive. You might find that your optimism will soar, even when dealing with a difficult friend. Tonight: Could be late. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You will be in your element, but realize that others might feel intimidated when you are like this. Be conscious of their discomfort, and try to help them relax. No matter what goes on right now, the final say will be yours. Opportunities will open up as a result. Tonight: Not alone!

Bookapalooza proves to be successful
Erin Irwin/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM
I Am A Sea Creature performs at Bookholders’ first ever Bookapalooza.
BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR
Bookholders took a unique approach to promoting their book sales this semester – while also supporting the local entertainment scene. Bent Willey’s resident DJ Wayne Brady and local indie rock band, I Am A Sea Creature both performed at Bookapalooza yesterday. The event provided those
picking up or ordering textbooks an opportunity to grab a hot dog, refreshment and some free merchandise, including Bookholders bottle openers, while listening to upbeat, local music. Lauren Kelly, junior West Virginia University student, works at Bookholders and was grilling hot dogs at the event. “I believe the event will definitely draw in more customers, especially with all
the new freshman who may not know about Bookholders,” Kelly said. “I mean, we have free food. Who doesn’t want free food?” Bookholders manager Thomas Robertson has been working with the store for a little more than two years and decided to plan the first Bookapalooza event this year not only to increase business but also to promote the local entertainment scene.
“Basically, we just have a lot of good local artists that live in Morgantown who may not get enough attention, especially with everyone still being excited from FallFest,” Robertson said. Kelly agreed with Robertson amd said the event was a great way to promote the local music scene. “We do have actual students that go here that do musical things in the area and also work at Bookhold-
ers,” Kelly said. “It’s a really great promoting event that no other bookstore has ever done.” One of Robertson’s main goals of the event was simply for the students to enjoy themselves. “We have this huge parking lot in the middle of town, and it’s really loud; everyone is able to hear it,” Robertson said. “We just thought it would be something fun to do for the stu-
dents to just come down and get some free food and hear some music.” Kelly has been working with Bookholders for the past year, and she hopes they continue the Bookapalooza event. “If we continue to have a good turnout today, I’m sure we will do it during upcoming semesters,” she said. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu
MTV looks for cast members for upcoming dating show BY NICK WESDOCK A&E WRITER
If you’re single and looking for love, it might just be your lucky day, thanks to a new TV series coming to MTV. The network is currently casting for a new dating show that will take place in a tropical destination.
Contestants will be eligible to win a big cash prize and possibly true love. Damon Furberg works for Lighthearted Entertainment and is the supervising casting director for the show, which has yet to be named. “It’s a relationship show where contestants try to find their perfect match.
If they succeed, then they win money and love,” Furberg said. “It’s important to emphasize that this is not a typical dating show like ‘The Bachelor.’ There is a potential match for every contestant, and no one gets voted off – everyone is on for the full duration of the show.” MTV will choose 20 sin-
gles between the ages of 21 and 24. “We are looking for people who are a great ‘catch’ but have encountered obstacles in their dating life that have stopped them from finding love,” Furberg said. “We’re looking for big personalities, and (having) a good sense of humor is a big plus. We want people
who are genuinely trying to make a love connection.” Applicants are required to submit a brief home video and will be interviewed over Skype. The cast will be chosen depending on how well they are liked by the casting team and whether or not the team can find a match. Anyone interested can
apply at www.lighthearted. com/untitled-mtv-dating-casting/ or go to mtv. com under the tab ‘casting calls.’ Applicants must be at least 21 by Sept. 30. The show will likely premiere this winter, but an exact date is to be determined. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

GETTING DEFENSIVE

After losing former Defensive Player of the Year Bry McCarthy to graduation, West Virginia will look to several young players to step up and make an impact this season.
West Virginia will have to rely on young talent to repeat as Big 12 Champions in 2013 BY JOE MITCHIN Sports writer
The West Virginia women’s soccer team outscored their Big 12 foes 14-6 in their inaugural season in the conference a year ago. With stats like that, it’s no surprise that a team that started the season with so much uncertainty could finish it by hoisting the regular season Big 12 title. In fact, the Mountaineers gave up a total of just 20 goals in 20 games last season. One big reason for this success comes in goal with senior keeper Sara Keane. Now in her third year as the starter, Keane is a leader of a team looking for more in 2013. Keane has started in all
42 matches of her West Virginia career. The Mt. Laurel, N.J., native saved 84 shots in 2012, good for fourth in the Big 12 and sixth in single-season program history. Her .808 save percentage was second in the conference. Despite a very respectable season in goal for the Mountaineers, Keane was largely out of the spotlight because of the defensive line in front of her. Br y McCarthy was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year last season and Mallory Smith was a leader on and off the pitch for the team. WVU lost both of them to graduation last year. This season, Keane is ready to be relied upon. “I’m typically a pretty
vocal person,” Keane said. “I try to do my best to help (the team) as much as I can.” Keane played in every minute of West Virginia’s 20 games last season. She earned herself eight shutouts, including four inside conference play. Her performance earned her an NSCAA Scholar AllEast Region honorable mention. However, Keane isn’t yet satisfied with her play between the posts. “There’s always a lot I can improve on,” she said. “Just making sure I have a presence in the box and keeping everyone organized is going to be big for the success of the team.” The Mountaineers must turn to new, young talent
for their back line this season. The squad has several veteran forwards and midfielders returning, but it lacks a ton of experience defensively. Head coach Nikki IzzoBrown has several options on her roster to replace McCarthy and Smith this season. Freshman Kadeisha Buchanan appears to be a prime candidate for a starting spot along with sophomore Halie Conroy and redshirt freshman Carly Black. WVU will return two defensive starters this season in junior Jess Crowder and sophomore Leah Emaus. “There are definitely question marks,” IzzoBrown said. “Who’s going to step up? Who’s going to fill the role? It’s a great op-
portunity for a couple of players to come in and take that on.” One thing we do know, however, is that Keane will return to the net for West Virginia and have a chance to help WVU win their second straight Big 12 title and team goal of advancing well into the NCAA Tournament. She isn’t concerned with the insertions of the new members of the starting defensive line. To her, it’s all about improving throughout the season. “They’re going to make mistakes, I’m going to make mistakes,” Keane said. “It’s just all about learning from them and trying to get better.” Keane needs to add 77 saves to move into sec-
ond place all-time on the Mountaineers’ career saves list. With one year remaining in her collegiate career, Keane may find herself at the very top by the end of it. The West Virginia women’s soccer team opens its new season Friday night at the Penn State Invitational when they take on the No. 4 Nittany Lions. The Mo u n t a i n e e r s quickly return to the pitch on Sunday in a match against Syracuse in University Park. The team won both of its preseason scrimmages preparing for the new year, defeating Rutgers at home 3-0 before topping No. 18 Georgetown 1-0 last weekend. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
FOOTBALL
Orlosky takes center job BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR
For West Virginia, a team with position battles all over the field, no competition (other than the quarterback job), may be more important than the starting center job. As the anchor of the offensive line, the center is largely responsible for making calls and checks in passing protection in Dana Holgorsen’s offense. Redshirt freshman Tyler Orlosky looks like he will be the starting center in game one against William and Mary. In the case of Orlosky, a year makes a massive difference. Playing football as a redshirt freshman compared to running around on the field as a true freshman makes an even bigger difference. Last year at this time Orlosky wasn’t even a center. Instead, he was playing guard and participating in training camp with the understanding he likely would never see the field in 2012. “Coming into play right away as an offensive lineman in college football is extremely difficult. Not many people can do it,” Orlosky said. “It isn’t about size or anything, but how much faster the game is than high school football.” Now Orlosky is on his way to becoming the starting center for the Mountaineers in 2013. In a heated position battle through training camp with fellow redshirt freshman Tony Matteo, WVU offensive line coach Ron Crook feels Orlosky has separated himself as the front-runner for the job. “I think Tyler (Orlosky) has been working really well there; he’s done a great job. He understands the offense,” Crook said. Crook is in agreement with WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen, who said Orlosky has asserted himself as well.
“Tyler Orlosky has been doing well,” Holgorsen said. “Orlosky has the upper hand at center. He is probably a little bit ahead physically.” Having made the position change from guard to center during the spring, Orlosky is still adjusting to being the anchor of the offensive line. Getting used to playing center fundamentally, the St. Edward High School product sees the one glaring difference between the guard and center spots. “The only difference is snapping the ball,” Orlosky said. “You have to handle the ball instead of putting your hand on the ground, but other than that the fundamentals of the position is the same as playing guard.” Orlosky has asserted himself as the leader of the center position competition. Hav i n g a d d e d 2 0 pounds since last season, Orlosky is ahead of Matteo on the depth chart, and forced possible frontrunner and junior college transfer Stone Underwood to move to guard. Orlosky attributes that to understanding what Crook is looking for out of the center position. “He wants us all to be able to be leaders and work to better ourselves, better the people around us,” Orlosky said. “Obviously as a redshirt freshman, you don’t see many leaders as a redshirt freshman, so I had to step into that spotlight, be that leader and vocal guy.” Coach Crook has seen Orlosky develop into a player on the field who can communicate as a leader. “I don’t think it really is in his personality to be a loud talkative person. He’s very quiet and very serious,” Crook said. “But with that seriousness comes an understanding that this is my job and this is what I have to do, so he’s done a pretty good job with it.”
So, just one year after being redshirted and not placing a foot on the field, Orlosky will have the ball in his hands on every play and will snap the ball for West Virginia. The Cleveland native is unsure of what he’ll feel during the first game of the season, but whatever that feeling is, Orlosky is excited for it. “It’s easy to sit here and say ‘Yes, I’m physically and mentally ready to play’, but I won’t know for sure until that first day comes around,” Orlosky said. With the season opener against William & Mary less than two weeks away, that day is fast approaching for Orlosky and the Mountaineers.

West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck named Miha Lisac WVU’s new women’s tennis coach Tuesday afternoon. Lisac, known for his winning ways and experience in collegiate tennis, will bring a new look to the Mountaineers’ program following former head coach Tina Samara’s departure to Wisconsin. Lisac is a former student-athlete and men’s assistant coach at Georgia State, finishing his sixth season with the program as head coach following the 2012 campaign. He was named the 2009 CAA Coach of the Year, leading his alma mater to a conference title. Other accomplishments include a berth in the Sun Belt Conference Championship Finals, back to back CAA Championship finals appearances and two other berths in the
CAA Championship semifinals in his career. At Georgia State, Lisac was the assistant coach from 2005-2007 before taking over head coaching duties. His overall record as a head coach is 55-38. Lisac is very enthusiastic about the opportunity to become the next head coach for West Virginia and rebuilding its program. “I have to thank Oliver Luck, Keli Cunningham, who was in charge of the search committee, Mary Ellen Jones, Terri Howes, Matt Borman and everybody I had a chance to meet for believing in me, giving me this opportunity and putting faith in myself and in the vision that I presented for the women’s tennis program,” Lisac said in a statement. “I feel very fortunate to be in this position and to be a part of such an institution. It is an outstanding opportunity.” Lisac will officially start at West Virginia Tuesday.
His vision for what he can achieve in Morgantown with his squad in the Big 12 is something special. “I have formed a vision for what I see a top program in a top conference or in the nation, to look like,” he said. “Obviously, West Virginia playing in the Big 12, which on the women’s side is extremely strong, it is one of the top conferences around and having the potential to also compete for some of the top spots in the nation, I’ve really kind of ironed out a plan as to what the program will look like. “The vision that I put together is a long-term vision and we will have to take a step-by-step approach to getting to that point, but it is very important to me that we take the right steps and start building the team from the inside out. “There are a lot of steps we will be taking from here on and we will be setting the bar at the highest standard.”
With Lisac’s pride and eagerness to win, Lucksaid West Virginia can become a championship program. “It is clear that Miha has experienced much success both as a studentathlete and most recently, as a coach,” Luck said. “He is the type of person that takes pride in doing things the right way and knows what it takes to win. We are eager for him to come in and continue to grow the Mountaineer women’s tennis program to a championship caliber program.” amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

When senior West Virginia cross country runner Katie Gillespie was told she would not be able to compete with her team for the fall 2012 season, many thought the season was over before it even started. Instead of staying deflated by the loss of its star runner, the team gathered up the pieces and moved forward. The cross country girls achieved success in various forms and even sent out former All-American Sarah-Anne Brault to the NCAA championships. While sidelined with her injury, Gillespie saw the team she inspired both on and off the field turn things around and begin to inspire her. “The girls all around are like my family. We were all on the same page last year, working together, even with my injury,” Gillespie said. “Even on my weakest days they were there to help me.” Gillespie has not seen

action on a cross country course in over a year and a half due to ongoing problems with stress factures. During her time off the course, Gillespie endured a lengthy rehab assignment, which included staying off the track for 4-6 weeks. “Rehab is pretty standard, but it is healing quickly,” she said. “It started with staying off the leg and then we moved to natural motions. I did a lot of biking and water running, and eventually started to work on my base mileage.” With rehab assignments coming to an end and the Lehigh Invitational only 11 days away, Gillespie has one last challenge to overcome – the actual feeling of a real race in more than 18 months. Luckily for her, this will be the easy part as competition comes naturally, and she goes back to doing what she loves. “Racing will be interesting for me this year since I haven’t raced in so long,” Gillespie said. “Even after not competing this long,
racing just comes naturally to me. I feel like I will be a little nervous, but I love it.” Leadership comes just as natureally as nerves for the senior. She is already leading the new recruits and plans to build on the success from last year. Seeing one runner represent WVU in the NCAA championships was a huge accomplishment for Gillespie last year, but only sending one player won’t garner the same praise this time around. “This season is already looking promising,” she said. “This is a team that is talented all the way from the top down to the bottom. It was great seeing one of us compete at the end of the year, but this year it is about getting the whole team down there.” The cross country squad will make its debut Aug. 31 at the annual Lehigh Invitational in Bethlehem, Pa.

Members of the offensive line look on during fall camp.
BY AMIT BATRA SPORTS EDITOR
Going into West Virginia University’s first game against William & Mary on Aug. 31, the offensive line has seen its highs and lows. West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen has seen the offensive line mature in his two years as leader of the Mountaineers. There were times when former WVU quarterback Geno Smtih would struggle with the amount of time he had to get a pass off, and there were also times when the offensive line showed poise and toughness. WVU had one of its most experienced offensive lines last year. With Joe Madsen and Jeff Braun leaving for the NFL, there will be new guys battling for starting positions. And
there is still time to figure out who will start where. “One of our guys gave out a temporary depth chart with a starting lineup, but we will keep adjusting that,” Holgorsen said during the first week of fall camp. “For instance, Pat Eger and Nick Kindler are acting and playing like starters, which is going to create depth. They are two swing guys right now that can play either one of the tackle spots. “(Quinton) Spain and (Curtis) Feigt have both gotten their bodies in phenomenal shape, but Kindler is going to concede the battle to them. We have three centers that have not played a lot of ball here. Stone (Underwood) is learning and has a long way to go. (Tony) Matteo is snapping the ball well – he’s a freshman, and (Tyler) Orlosky
is a freshman. We just need to keep working to see who is going to win that job.” While Orlosky eventually came away victorious with the center position, there are still question marks with him replacing former Mountaineer Joe Madsen. In his first year with West Virginia after moving on from his position at Stanford, offensive line coach Ron Crook will keep his team physical throughout camp and the course of the season. Because pads were brought into play in camp, Crook saw the physicality and toughness of his group. “I think we have a bunch of tough guys that want to come off the ball, that want to get after people,” Crook said earlier this month. “They’re not
doing things perfect by any stretch, but I think we’re moving in the right direction and we’re playing with some toughness.” Holgorsen and Crook have both acknowledged the progress the linemen have made in the summer, both physically and mentally. Crook said that on the first day of camp, the staff could tell the group looked fit and strong and moved well. In order to replace what they lost last season, the Mountaineer offensive line will have to gel and play as a unit. With new offensive linemen and a new quarterback, uncertainty remains about whether West Virginia can put up the offensive numbers it did last season. amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

Eagles’ coach Chip Kelly names Vick starter PHILADELPHIA (AP) —Michael Vick took a pay cut and had to compete for his job when he returned to the Eagles. Part of the choice had to do with the up-tempo offense mapped out by new coach Chip Kelly. “I just thought,” Vick said. “this was the best opportunity, the best fit for me.” Turns out, Vick was the best fit for Kelly. With his first chance to put his stamp on Philadelphia’s offense, Kelly named Vick the starting quarterback on Tuesday, giving the veteran the nod over Nick Foles after a sterling effort in the preseason. “He’s our starter for the season,” Kelly said. “It’s not a one-game trial basis.” There wasn’t a lot of suspense with Kelly’s decision, which was announced af-
ter practice on Tuesday, and after the coach met with both players. About the only surprise was the timing - Kelly had hinted he might not name a starter until closer to the opener. But Kelly, in his first season after coaching at Oregon, ended the mystery and will have Vick taking the snaps when Philadelphia opens the regular season at Washington Sept. 9. “I’m not surprised at all,” Vick said. “I told him, `Thank you, I appreciate it and I won’t let you down.’” Vick has been solid in two preseason games, and Foles, in his second season with the Eagles, has struggled to grasp Kelly’s multifaceted offense. Vick has thrown for 199 yards this preseason and will take a 113.2 quarterback rating into Friday’s game at Jacksonville (0-2).
Foles has been sacked six times in two games, and has a quarterback rating of 65.5, after showing flashes as a rookie last season while Vick was injured. Vick played in just 10 games last season, while Foles topped 340 yards twice as a rookie. The Eagles (1-1) are coming off a 4-12 season, coach Andy Reid’s last, and haven’t made the playoffs since they won the NFC East at the end of the 2010 season. “We had a good amount of tape, a good amount of us seeing them on the field,” Kelly said. “And seeing them in a lot of different situations, and wanted to put a guy in place, if we could, in enough time to get us to prepare the season.” Kelly has only shown flashes of his up-tempo
offense in the first two preseason games and defenses already seem tired and confused while the Eagles are moving the ball with ease. The firstteam offense led by Vick and Foles has four touchdowns on eight-plus possessions in two games. One drive ended with an endzone interception and two others ended with fumbles. Behind Foles will be Matt Barkley, a rookie from Southern Cal. “The competitor in me, you always want to be the one on the field playing,” Barkley said. “At the same time, I love Mike. We’ve gone about it the right way. We’ve kept our great friendship and we’ve pushed each other. I’m proud of him. I’m going to do anything I can to help him become the best quarterback possible.
“I’m excited for him. Nothing changes in my preparation. I’m going to prepare the same way.” Vick had a breakout year under Reid in 2010, leading the Eagles to the division title, winning The Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year award and starting in the Pro Bowl. But he’s battled injuries and inconsistency the last two years. Now 33, Vick sustained a concussion in week 10 last year and Reid decided to let Foles play the rest of the way because the Eagles were in last place. Vick returned to start the season finale against the New York Giants because Foles was hurt. He finished the year with 2,362 yards passing, 12 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He lost five fumbles.
DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER
Defensive changes key for WVU It’s no secret that West Virginia will embark on its second ever season in the Big 12 Conference this year with considerably less offensive firepower than it had in 2012. But success in 2013 won’t hinge on the fact that the Mountaineers lost three of the most prolific offensive players in school history this offseason. Rather, it will depend on how West Virginia’s defense responds to its collectively nightmarish performance last year. The Mountaineers allowed a staggering 495 total points last season. During its first seven games in the Big 12, West Virginia scored less than 40 points only once, when TCU won against the Mountaineers 39-38 in Morgantown. The team ended up 2-5 during that stretch, with its only wins coming as a result of West Virginia’s offense scoring 70 against Baylor and 45 against Texas. That’s not going to happen again. The only absolute way that the Mountaineers are going to be able to compete on a regular basis in this year’s conference, and for years to come, is if they can develop a reliable defensive unit that can come up with a stop when it really needs it. The good news is that WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen believes this year’s defense is already significantly ahead of where last year’s unit was at this point. The flip side is that the only way Holgorsen and his staff have been able to measure the capabilities of that defense is against its own offense, which none of the staff has put an overwhelming amount of faith into early on, including Holgorsen or offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. One shortcoming of last year’s defense was without a doubt the collective youth. The Mountaineers tried to survive a grueling conference schedule with many true and redshirt freshmen playing key roles against some of the most talented offensive players in the country. Former defensive coordinator Joe DeForest even reported at one point six true freshmen were playing together on defense at the same time, a true recipe for disaster. But now, a year later, the experience earned last season should factor in significantly. The Mountaineers are returning seven defensive starters and even more personnel with real game experience. The freshmen who saw time with last year’s defense weren’t just playing garbage minutes at the end of games. Because of injuries and a host of other issues with the defense, many true and redshirted freshmen got a chance to play critical minutes throughout the season. Even though those minutes certainly didn’t result in a lot of production last year, they could end up making a major difference during this season’s campaign. The Mountaineers have already thrust former linebackers coach Keith Patterson into the defensive helm, supplanting DeForest. However, according to Holgorsen, the overall scheme still won’t see a lot of changes. Instead of starting from scratch, Patterson has said he will attempt to improve the existing scheme. He hopes some new wrinkles and disguises coupled with more experienced personnel will make up a majority of the difference. Clearly, there has been no shortage of adjustments to the West Virginia defense after a season of complete disappointment, because the coaches know that success in the Big 12 stems from being able to make stops and getting your defense off of the field. And in just 10 days, the entire contingent of Mountaineer fans will at last see if and how those adjustments finally end up paying off. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
