Peace activist shares experiences by jacob bojesson staff writer

Kathy Kelly is not the average woman.

As a peace activist, pacifist and author, she has been arrested on more than 60 occasions, made more than 30 trips to war zones worldwide and has received three Nobel Peace Prize nominations.

Kelly came to West

Virginia University to speak to students from the suburbs of Chicago.

Despite her impressive resume, her speech in the Business & Economics Building Wednesday had little to do with herself, but rather the people that she had met in her journeys.

“I ask myself, ‘Will we always be this way?’ I think I have an answer and the

answer is no,” Kelly said, commenting on the future of humanity. “I think we’re moving toward that so desirable goal of being able to be exhausted and sick of our worlds, and ready to say, ‘We don’t want to make war to Mother Earth any longer either. We want to learn to do the things that make for peace.’”

Kelly has worked as a peace activist since the

late 1970s and has written several books and lectured around the world in recent years.

Part of the lecture touched on what she believes is a misconception among Americans about the need for military interventions in Afghanistan.

“They’d never heard of 9/11,” she said. “The codes that are oppressive to women existed long be-

fore the Taliban, and when I said to them that there are many people in my country who believe the military is necessary to keep people protected, they laughed.”

Kelly spoke of a world foreign to the one she grew up in, and the contrasts between Middle Eastern and Western societies.

Some of Kelly’s stories were more personal than other. For instance, she

Student organization grant proposals occupied the majority of yesterday evening’s regular meeting of the West Virginia University Student Government Association.

The proposals came from four different student organizations and the amounts awarded ranged from $650 to $1,500.

The four organizations to receive funds were the women’s club basketball team, the woman’s club soccer team, the Art of Networking Club and the Sierra Student Coalition.

A total of $3,900 was awarded to the four organizations, representing about six percent of the SGA’s overall student organizations grant budget of approximately $59,000 for the year.

Governor Stephen Scott said the grants were approved so the student organi-

zations would have help covering essential costs.

“Tonight helped cover a lot of transportation costs for these student organizations,” Scott said. “A lot of these organizations were running up against deadlines and will really benefit from the funds.”

Scott said he thought the process to approve funding worked as intended.

“The board looks at each proposal according to the situation,” Scott said. “The urgency of the costs, previous fund raising efforts, community service and other sorts of factors all play into our decision.”

SGA vice chair Josh Williams said while he had no issue with awarding funds to the organizations at the meeting, he felt too much of the budget was awarded at one time.

Each West Virginia University student club has its unique features, but only one campus club allows students to duel with swords.

According to their website WVU’s Fencing Club enlightens the world to the joys of stabbing each other with swords.

President of WVU’s Fencing Club Jon Miltenberger, said he picked up fencing his freshman year, because he wanted to try something new.

“It’s college, and that’s the time to try new things,” Miltenberger said. “A lot of the reasons to do any other sport apply (to) fencing; it can be a team sport or an individual sport depending on what kind of tournament it may be.”

Interested students do not need any prior experience, nor do they have to be athletic to fence.

“It’s always good to have some kind of physical activity in your life,” Miltenberger said. “For me, at least, it’s a great de-stressor for the week. If it’s been a tough week, fencing practice comes around and you feel much better.”

The Fencing Club holds beginner’s practice Monday nights and advanced practice Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m. in Stansbury Hall.

The West Virginia Collegiate Business Plan Competition is now accepting applications.

The annual competition is open to students of any year and path of study, from any West Virginia college or university.

Interested applicants will submit their business idea, and three winners will be awarded $10,000 to help make their idea come to life.

A winner from three different categories will be chosen this year: Lifestyle and Innovation; Hospitality and Tourism; and STEM technology.

Tara St. Clair, office

administrator for the BrickStreet Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, said although this is only her second year helping run the competition, she hopes to break the record number of submissions set last year.

“This year we decided to add the new category of STEM, because they’re some of the largest industries in West Virginia,” St. Clair said. “So we really wanted to bring attention to them.

“We’re also really trying to encourage people with other majors to participate with this new STEM category.”

Sorority recruitment begins forging sisterhood bonds on campus by sam bosserman correspondent

Formal sorority recruitment is in full swing on the West Virginia University campus this week as hundreds of sorority hopefuls decide where to make the commitment to become an active sister.

Chapter houses are opening their doors to potential recruits in order to show what they stand for and how they operate.

Jess Holterhoff, vice president of Recruitment Coordination on the Pan-

hellenic Council at WVU, said formal recruitment helps both the potential sisters and the chapters make the best possible matches.

“During formal recruitment, each chapter gets to tell prospects what sisterhood means to them,” she said.

As far as what being in a sorority means, Holterhoff said it is all about finding a group of friends who are close enough to call each other sisters.

“Being a sister means having a bond that gives

one a real sense of belonging,” she said.

Despite the benefits sororities intend to provide their members, formal recruitment week can be a trying time for potential sisters.

Holterhoff said some girls indeed may not find their way into the chapter they’ve chosen.

However, she said the process is designed to make sure potential sisters and chapters end up in a long-term mutually beneficial relationship.

“There are a lot of cri-

teria that come into play and a lot of different reasons for why someone may or may not get into a particular chapter,” Holterhoff said.

One potential sister, sophomore Haleigh Jeffrey, said she is enjoying the recruitment experience.

“Sororities seem like a great way to branch out and meet new people,” she said. “Recruitment week has allowed me to get a feel for the different chapters

SOJ panel showcases secrets told by whistleblowers by kaity wilson staff writer

Telling secrets is often looked down on, but whistleblowers are tattle tales who have the public’s best interests in mind.

The West Virginia University Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism hosted a panel discussion Wednesday evening to showcase the ability of professionals to expose secrets that could potentially save the environment.

The moderated panel discussion featured three people who, “blew the whistle,” on companies and government agencies who were supposed to be protecting the environment.

A whistleblower is someone who discloses evidence of wrongdoing to those who

can do something about it.

This can include journalists, managers, hotlines or lawmakers. They seek to make a difference and risk their jobs and personal safety to do so.

These people have worked closely with the Government Accountability Project, a whistleblower protection organization sponsoring the American Whistleblower Tour.

The president of GAP, Louis Clark said whistleblowers should be noted for their courage.

“For every one, there are hundreds that remain silent,” Clark said. “But if it wasn’t for those whistleblowers, we would never know about these problems.”

“Without the work of whistleblowers, many ac-

tivities that are harmful to the public could never be brought to light and many of the parties responsible could never be held accountable for their actions,” said P.I. Reed School of Journalism Dean Maryanne Reed.

Jack Spadaro, a WVU graduate, is interested in engineering safety, which was sparked by the Buffalo Creek dam failure in 1972. Spadaro is the former head of the National Mine Health and Safety Academy who blew the whistle on the federal agency’s attempt to whitewash an investigation into a major spill of coal slurry from a waste site in Kentucky.

The spill, which occurred in 2000, destroyed wildlife and contaminated water for thousands of people

in Kentucky and West Virginia. Spadaro refused to sign the whitewashed report and went public, resigning from the company he worked for.

Rick Piltz, a former senior associate in the office of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, also contributed to the discussion.

Piltz blew the whistle on the Bush administration’s censorship of reports on global warming.

Another panelist, Wilma Subra, is a scientist in Louisiana who blew the whistle when clean-up workers were not receiving adequate training and healthcare after the BP Gulf Coast oil spill in 2010. She also blew the whistle on misleading statements by the Food and Drug Administration stating seafood be-

ing harvested in the Gulf of Mexico was safe to consume after the spill.

Six stages of whistleblowing were listed at the discussion. The first stage is discovering wrongdoing followed by disclosing the information which leads to retaliation by the whistleblower’s management. The last three stages are isolation from coworkers, becoming surrounded by change makers and supporters and the public recognizing the problem, resulting in changes being made.

The three panelists said whistleblowing is not an easy decision to make, but it is an important job. They agreed working closely with journalists and those who have the power to initiate change is also an important

part of the process.

“Sometimes the only hope we have of getting the truth out is good journalism,” said Spadaro. “It is essential to have somebody to go to and allow the public to know what is going on.”

Wilma Subra, who endured threats and a driveby-shooting of her office after blowing the whistle, said her best advice if you are going to be a whistleblower is to have a thick skin.

Subra said that although whistleblowers must endure negative responses, they’re working for the better good of everyone.

6 killed as Canada bus strikes passenger train OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Passengers screamed “Stop!

Stop!” seconds before their bus crashed through a crossing barrier and into a commuter train during morning rush hour in Canada’s capital on Wednesday, killing six people and injuring 34.

“He smoked the train,” witness Mark Cogan said of the bus driver, who was among those killed. “He went through the guard rail and just hammered the train, and then it was just mayhem.”

It was not immediately clear what caused the bus to smash through the lowered barrier at a crossing in suburban Ottawa.

The front of the double-

decker bus was ripped away by the impact, and the train’s locomotive and one passenger car derailed, though there were no reports of major injuries to train passengers or crew.

Eight were still listed in critical condition late Wednesday. The crash brought trains on the national Via Rail’s Ottawa-Toronto route to a standstill.

It was Canada’s second major rail accident in less than three months. A runaway oil train derailed and exploded in a Quebec town on July 6, killing 47 people in the country’s worst rail disaster in more than a century.

Tanner Trepanier said he

and other passengers could see the four-car train bearing down on them as the bus approached the crossing.

“People started screaming, ‘Stop! Stop!’ because they could see the train coming down the track,” Trepanier said.

But the driver didn’t slow down, said Rebecca Guilbeault, who was on the bus with her 1-year-old son.

“I don’t know if the bus driver blacked out,” she said.

“I’ve seen a few people dead, someone ripped in half.”

Another passenger, Gregory Mech, said the train crossing has about a 90-degree bend and he didn’t think the driver saw that the signals were flashing and the

barrier was down.

“The bus actually hit the train dead on,” Mech told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. “I could see that there were bodies on the train tracks. It was horrible.”

Passenger Romi Gupta, a 40-year-old office worker headed to her job in downtown Ottawa, boarded what she called the “overfull” bus at its last stop before the crash.

“The driver was OK. I got in a minute before and I said hello to him and he was fine,” said Gupta.

Moments later, she looked out the window and saw the train headed straight for the bus.

“The bus was too fast, he

could not put the brakes on,” she said. “It was crazy. People were flying. I saw limbs.”

Transit union president Craig Watson identified the driver killed in the crash as 45-year-old Dave Woodard.

He said had been with the bus company for about 10 years.

Peyman Shamsi, a friend of Woodard who had started with OC Transpo 10 years ago, said he was “one of the nicest guys” at the bus company. “I’m surprised because he was a safe driver,” Shamsi said.

Woodard, who leaves behind a wife and teenage stepdaughter, had celebrated his wife’s birthday on Tuesday.

“It is a tragic morning in the nation’s capital,” Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement.

The bus was on a dedicated transit line that runs parallel to a busy commuter artery just outside the suburban train station of Fallowfield. The Transportation Safety Board said the train was traveling at a reduced speed because it was nearing a station and because of the crossing.

Via Rail crossings have long been a concern, according to the national Transportation Safety Board’s lead investigator, Glen Pilon, who said retrieving the black box recording was a priority to determine what went wrong.

FENCING

kles and lower leg muscles,” said James Reil, an aerospace engineering student and secretary of the club.

“If you have quick feet and can change direction quick, then you can almost always beat your opponent – the arms just kind of follow.”

Whether students and faculty want to play with swords, relieve stress or just have fun with other individuals on campus, people can sign up and learn the basics.

“It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a good workout,” Clipp said. “The club is incredibly open and welcoming to new members and beginners, as well.”

Miltenberger and Reil said when it comes to fencing, strength won’t win over technique.

“Fencing is different from other sports in that how good you are is not determined in large part by your general physical fitness,” Miltenberger said. “There is a lot more that goes on in your head that can make you incredibly good at fencing.”

Reil said fencing becomes

a lifetime sport for many.

“Some sports you burn out on or your muscles tire, but you don’t burn out on fencing once you pass your physical prime,” Reil said.

Member dues are $40 per semester or $60 for both.

Dues go toward the maintenance of the club equipment and to help pay the coach.

The club did a live demonstration in the Mountainlair last week, and they hope to organize a fencing tournament at WVU to get more people interested in joining the club.

“I would encourage everyone to come and try it because we’re a fun bunch and college really is the best time to pick up that cool new thing you’ve always wanted to try – I mean what other club lets you play with swords,” Miltenberger said.

a business from scratch,” Cutright said. “It’s not just a competition to see if your idea’s good.

“It helps you define the process of business value and business start-up, all in one nice package.”

Both St. Clair and Cutright said they agree the only students who don’t win are the ones that don’t participate.

“I really think it’s a good learning process,” St. Clair said. “Even if you don’t win, you can take what you learned from the competition and apply it in your life.

“It’s really the tools that you learn and keep that can fix what’s in your business model.”

Winners will receive $10,000, legal and acc ou nt i ng a s s i s t a n c e, and incubator space to make their idea come to life.

“We’re not just going to

hand you a check; we want you to hit certain steps to make sure your business actually succeeds,” she said.

In 2008, WVU senior Nesha Sanghavi entered her clothing design idea into the business competition.

Sanghavi was a cheerleader and constantly saw people wearing WVU apparel at games, but she said she felt there weren’t many feminine or form-fitting designs specifically made for women.

Sanghavi didn’t win the competition, but she said it motivated her to work even harder, and she now owns her own business called University Girls Apparel.

potential sisters engaged.”

Jeffrey’s statements were echoed by another prospect, Allison Zutat.

Zutat said she felt formal recruitment offered a window into sorority life.

“I’ve gotten to go on tours of the houses belonging to the chapters I’m interested in joining,” Zutat said. “Additionally, I’ve gotten to see some of the charitable efforts that these chapters are a part of.”

Natalie Barnhart, a senior and sister of Sigma Kappa,

summed up what being in a sorority really means and said it can’t really be boiled down to just one thing.

“Greek life is about getting the most out of college, meeting new people, trying new things and giving back to society,” Barnhart said.

Potential new members will find out which sorority they will be a part of Saturday at their bid day event.

With the proper safety equipment provided for students and faculty, fencing is a safe sport with fewer injuries than to other competitive sports.

“I like that it involves safe, controlled swordplay,” Clipp said. “It is a bit like the childhood fantasy of playing with stick swords made into a reality.”

In addition to the approval of the student organization grants, the board also heard confirmation from SGA president Ryan Campione that students will not be required to have health insurance for the upcoming spring semester.

Apple releases update iOS 7, biggest change for mobile device since 2007 WESTLEY THOMPSON CORRESPONDENT

Early Wednesday afternoon, the technology giant Apple released their latest update to their mobile operating system: iOS 7. This is by far the biggest change to come to Apple’s mobile device family since the release of the iPhone in 2007.

The biggest, and most obvious change, is the aesthetic. Apple has finally updated the signature look they have been using for six years. They have gotten rid of the old classic app icons and slide bar on the lock screen in favor of this new minimalistic design.

This change is welcome and visibly impressive, to say the least.

The new icons are beautifully designed, and the lock screen is simplistic, yet somehow more useful than before. Everything

from keyboard font to time has been significantly redesigned with this new style in mind.

The first principle of design, as many may have heard before, is “form follows function.” This means no matter how nice something looks, it is useless if it doesn’t perform well.

Apple has managed to merge form and function, creating an updated operating system that not only looks nice but performs nicely, as well.

Apps now open up with a zooming-like animation, making accessing different parts of your phone feel more intuitive. Control Center and Notification Center, accessed by swiping up or down on the home screen, respectively, have a unique look to them.

These features look and feel like they perform, making the whole process

intuitive and fluid. iOS 7 brings with it many new features. Control Center allows you to access the camera, timer, calculator and newly added flashlight app easily, as well as wireless and music settings and controls. iTunes Radio is a new addition. Accessed through the music app, iTunes Radio is Apple’s stab at Internet radio, currently dominated by Pandora and Spotify. This Internet radio utilizes information gathered from your iTunes library to help customize stations to your personal tastes and interests.

Almost all of Apple’s first-party apps have received updates and facelifts. Safari has been cleaned up, reducing the amount of clutter usually seen while browsing the Internet and even allows you to see tabs currently open on your other iOS devices.

Mountaineer Fashion Mania

Camera has many new features, including an improved panorama shot setting and a setting that takes a picture in a perfect square, clearly designed to make your next profile picture ready the second it is snapped.

Photophiles will love the redesigned Photo app, which allows users to browse images by time taken and event, creating visually impressive displays of entire photo libraries at once.

Multitasking has also been improved. By double-tapping the home button, all of the apps currently running are displayed. This isn’t a new trick, but users can now see what the app is doing, too. For example, if Safari and the Facebook app are running, realtime data is displayed in this new multitasking menu.

Comedian Doug Stanhope to bring ‘S--Town Tour’ to Wits End Comedy Club

BY MARIA SOLANO CORRESPONDENT

Do you ever sit at home and wish there was some way you could express those dark thoughts you just can’t say out loud? Well, now there is a way.

If you’re free Friday night, head over to the Wits End Comedy Club at the Ramada Inn, located along Scott Avenue, and enjoy Doug Stanhope’s “S--- Town Tour” comedy show.

Stanhope is characteristic for his thoughts on marriage, drugs, religious beliefs and other topics. He said he believes the best comedy comes from “pure hatred” and bases his shows on simple things that bring out his inner-rage.

As part of the comedic scene since 1990, Stanhope is not afraid to express his beliefs.

However, he does expect to change the content of his show as he goes from town

to town, so he can adapt to the comical needs of the audience.

“Even if (the audience) laugh and clap, they’ll go ahead and do the opposite of what I say anyway; I complain about marriage and people agree, but they go get married,” Stanhope said.

“They clap and agree that children are a basic problem and that overpopulation is the root of the world’s trouble, and then they blow out a couple of kids.

“So, what I am trying to tell my audience is to come out, have some cocktails and have a good time while you are still young.”

Stanhope is incredibly decorated in the comedy realm. He has hosted “The Man Show” on Comedy Central and has appeared on “The Howard Stern Show,” “Comedy Central Presents,” “Premium Blend,” NBC’s “Late Friday” and wrote, produced and starred in FOX’s “Invasion of

“My personal style is post-modern skate thug,” said Nick Holstein, 20, a visual journalism student.

the Hidden Cameras.” He’s also made appearances on “FOX News with Greta Van Sustern” and “The Jerry Springer Show.”

In 2010, Stanhope was the Voice of America on BBC’s “Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe.” He is also a two-time winner of Time Out New York’s “Best Comedy Performance of the Year.”

The concept of his “Sh-Town Tour” is to go to places he has never been before.

“I can’t count on my own inbred audience that knows me and will laugh at everything I say,” Stanhope said.

Prior to the beginning of his tour, he opened a poll on his website, www.dougstanhope.com, where anyone can vote on which city from the tour is the absolute worst.

Although the name of his tour is the “S--- Town Tour,” Stanhope picked the towns based on different criteria.

“I don’t expect these towns to be as sh---y as I am calling them,” Stanhope said.

Regardless of who ends up being voted the crappiest town, all will be brightened by Stanhope’s standup comedy.

Instead of lying on the couch and raging to yourself about everything that is wrong with the world, come out and have a good time at the Ramada Inn with people who are likely to share the same opinions.

Open mic at 123 Pleasant Street provides outlet for local artists

BY ASHLEY DENARDO WEB EDITOR

Mo rga ntow n ’s d ia monds in the rough performed at 123 Pleasant Street for Tuesday’s usual Open Mic night.

Among the acts were a man playing electric guitar along with tracks on his laptop and a trio of bass, guitar and drums, known as Bridge the Gap, which were two fan favorites.

Irish rapper Steve Dowdy pleased the crowd with his unique style and relatable content while singer/songwriter Shenendoah Thompson will be remembered for his emotional display and entrancing sound.

“I started writing when I was 12, but I was always afraid to rap,” Dowdy said.

“Then, when I was 22, s--hit the fan and I said ‘I may as well go on stage.’”

Thompson, on the other hand, has been a performer for as long as he can remember.

“I’ve been doing it all of my life,” he said. “I think the first time I ever performed, I was 6 or younger. I’ve

been playing professionally, as it were, for about 10 years.”

Dowdy, who is originally from Ireland, came to Morgantown only one month ago.

“It’s not taken too seriously in Ireland,” he said.

“That’s why I’m rapping here.”

Like any serious song writer, Dowdy’s songs are reflections of his life experiences.

“I had no money and no job trying to go through college,” Dowdy said. “Then, I partied too much, saw a bit of stuff – friends going to jail, people going mentally insane, intelligent people throwing their lives away, the effects of addiction – that’s what I write about.

“Most of my songs are about how mentally insane I went, I guess. Instead of talking about how the rest of the world is mentally insane, I talk about how I’m insane and relate that to the rest of the world.”

Thompson really focused on the emotions of

life and relationships.

“I play a lot of love songs,” Thompson said “You play what you feel and I’m a hopeless romantic. I feel a lot, so I play a lot.

“All of my songs are v e r y p e r s o n a l l ov e songs, so I just try to spread the message of love.”

While Dowdy’s songs are more chaotic, he still has a message to get out to the world and especially to the young people.

“Stay in school, never lose your faith in love and hold your real friends close,” he said. “That’s probably my real message.”

Dowdy also offered up

There is a New Western n SStore toree in n Town!

some advice for aspiring performers.

“Go with open mics,” he said. “Even if the crowd isn’t big – go.

You might just get interviewed or someone might offer you a record deal.

Just go to an open mic, get up on stage, and don’t be shy, because life gets really tough sometimes and you feel like dying and, I mean, it’s easier to get on stage than it is to die. That would be my advice.”

123 Pleasant Street holds an open mic every Tuesday at 9 p.m.

Wrecking’ art for parody’s sake

Miley Cyrus’s infamous video for “Wrecking Ball” hit an astonishing 19.3 million views within 24 hours of its release – a record previously held by “Best Song Ever” from One Direction with 12.3 million views in July.

It has come with mixed reviews, everything from disgust to delight. It seems as though the former Disney star has either hit rock bottom or risen her way to the top.

In response to the release, numerous parodies have popped up on various social media platforms, most popularly Vine.

Several of those Vines came out of Grand Valley State University in Michigan. Groups of students have taken video of themselves swinging naked or half-naked on a 42-inch bifilar pendulum, a sculpture created for the university in 1974 by Dale Eldred.

University officials decided to put the sculpture into storage to protect both the students and the piece of art.

“We are reassessing the safety and structural integrity of the current installation and site,” said Tim Thimmesch, associate vice president for Facilities Services. “Hopefully the pendulum can be reinstalled at that location or we can find another suitable location on

ricky.org

Grand Valley State University students are currently protesting the removal of the wrecking ball sculpture. campus so people can enjoy it as a piece of art and stay safe.”

The students certainly haven’t reacted well. Dozens of students have been gathering around the spot where the structure once hung, singing “Wrecking Ball” and have flocked to

Twitter to protest the pendulum’s removal.

The students claim if Cyrus swings around on a wrecking ball, it’s fine, but when the students recreate the scene, the university removes the wrecking ball.

The disturbing thing about the entire story is the

students are offended GVSU put the sculpture into storage. There is a huge difference between a prop created specifically for Cyrus’s video and a one-of-a-kind art installment gifted to a university from a respected artist.

That would almost be like hanging from the Moun-

eMILY TORBETT GUEST Columnist

It seems that the holidays sneak up on us earlier and earlier every year.

From the Christmas specials that begin airing on television after Halloween to the race to begin your Christmas shopping the second after you put away your Thanksgiving dinner leftovers, the early beginning of the holidays is almost completely unavoidable in this modern age of consumerism and commercialization.

With this in mind, where do we draw the line on what exactly is considered too early?

Before you think I, too, am getting an early jump on the holidays simply by writing a column on the topic, you should know I am doing so because Kmart began airing their first Christmas commercial of the season on Monday of last week – a whopping 3 months before Christmas.

The ad shows a woman in an office cubicle qui-

etly going about her work as a giant gingerbread man creeps up on her. As he gets closer and closer, the narrator says, “Don’t let the holidays sneak up on you. Shop early with Kmart layaway!”

The ad is an obvious attempt to lure in layaway shoppers before they even begin to carve their Halloween pumpkins, and some have responded with anger on the company’s Facebook page, posting such statements as, “You don’t need to give kids Christmas overload in September,” and “Shame on you, K-Mart. It’s way too early for Christmas commercials.”

Kmart has released a statement defending the early airdate of their ad, which said, “Customers can plan in advance in order to take advantage of layaway for holiday purchases.”

Kmart is not alone. Rival companies, like Wal-Mart, have begun their holiday layaway programs as early as the second week of September. Last year, Target aired their first holiday

commercial in the second week of October.

“Black Friday” sales are starting earlier and earlier every year, with some even premiering the morning of Thanksgiving Day. Some are actually receptive to the early Christmas season kick-off; studies show as many as 40 percent of holiday shoppers begin their shopping before Halloween. Others, however, boycott early events, such as “Black Friday,” claiming it is unfair to retail employees and feeds into the consumerist ideals that have taken over oncesacred holidays.

It is a reality many consumers, due to the state of the economy, believe they will need to use layaway and similar programs this year in order to be able to afford holiday spending.

While this seems like the most fiscally responsible option, as most layaway plans are free to customers, it should be avoided as much as possible.

It may seem easier to spread holiday shopping over a payment plan, but customers should know it

mirror.co.uk

could end up costing them in the long run.

Market analysts maintain customers can save the most money by doing their Christmas shopping much closer to the holiday itself, because the best deals are usually the week before Christmas Day. More importantly, refusing to begin Christmas shopping now will send a message to companies like Kmart that shoppers are in no way ready for Christmas to begin in September.

While beginning the holiday shopping season in late October has become increasingly more acceptable during the past few years, it is within the power of the consumer to show companies like Kmart that beginning the holiday season this early is not only presumptuous and unnecessary, but completely unacceptable.

With this in mind, we will be able to get in the spirit of the holidays when it is appropriate to do so–during the holidays themselves. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

‘I’m Schmacked’: ruining WVU’s reputation one video at a time DAVID SCHLAKE Columnist

According to Google trends, the term “Black Friday” starts hitting Internet searches around mid-October.

This may seem extreme, but the baseline thought is still the same.

No one wants to take away these students’ good time. However, there’s no reason to ruin priceless art for the sake of a parody.

What separates Morgantown from other college towns? Is it the atmosphere at the stadium on game days? Is it the school pride that West Virginia students possess? Or is it a different reputation?

Unfortunately, West Virginia is notorious for having a large party scene, as well as a high dropout rate. There are a number of things that contribute to this infamy.

Since the first day of my freshman year, the film crew for “I’m Shmacked” has been on campus four or five times. They were here for the Louisiana State University game, St. Patrick’s Day at the end of my freshman year, Fallfest during my sophomore year and other miscellaneous times at downtown bars.

It was the most exciting part of the whole year waiting for the craziness to be uploaded to YouTube for everyone to see.

It was like the video gave us bragging rights against other schools whose videos couldn’t compare to the anarchy displayed in ours.

Similar to a bad tattoo you regret getting, the videos have stuck with us and have without a doubt changed the atmosphere in Morgantown. The videos earned us a spot on Princeton’s top party schools list, and police have cracked down on the severity of rowdy parties in an attempt to kill the reputation we’ve earned.

Upperclassmen would probably agree with me the videos aren’t as cool to us now as they were then. Many students claim the videos helped

them make the decision to go here, but in reality that means they’re coming here for the wrong reasons. And it deters students who want to come here for academic reasons.

I saw a week or two ago “I’m Shmacked” was coming to Morgantown to throw a party at Rocktop Bar & Grill. It was trending on Twitter in no time, and there were underclassmen who tweeted about their excitement to finally be a part of the “I’m Shmacked” movement.

They aren’t helping our school in the slightest.

Nothing good comes out of being named the top party school in America.

It takes away from the credibility of our university and from the degree you’re earning here, it earns the school recognition for all the wrong reasons, and it only aggravates the school and law enforcement.

I guarantee most of the freshmen who enrolled for party-related reasons have been disappointed with the party scene that didn’t meet expectations made from the videos. It’s a never ending circle.

There’s nothing wrong with blowing off some steam during the weekends and having fun.

Morgantown has always been a good place to do that. However this business is profiting from making your school look bad. And such a large portion of students buy into it. I did my freshman year. But, one day I’m going to be applying for a job with my degree from WVU, and I hope they look at how hard I’ve worked here, and I also hope they’ve never seen “I’m Shmacked.” daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you will learn to bend gracefully toward others’way of thinking without harboring resentment.

You will come to an understanding as to how easy it is to respect differences and learn from them. If you are single, you will discover someone very special in your immediate environment. The attraction will be strong, but you might realize that you are very different people. Before making a commitment, get to know each other completely. If you are attached, the two of you act like a seesaw, in the sense that you each take turns leading and being right.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH Your hard work and effort will pay off far more than you might’ve thought possible. You could find an instrumental partner to be

overserious. Do not take this person’s attitude personally. Opportunities surround your home and your personal life. Tonight: Not to be found!

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Everything from your gait to the way you carry yourself exudes resilience and confidence. A partner could be jealous, and he or she might be very cold toward you as a result. Don’t let this behavior get to you. Make your presence known. Tonight: Rearrange your plans, if need be.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You have a strong sense of what needs to be done, and it is unlikely that you will settle for anything less than what you want. Money might flow out of your account as quickly as it goes in. Take a break in the afternoon in order to pace yourself. Tonight: A must appearance.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You are in the position to make one of your long-desired dreams a reality, yet there might be some fear around realizing this wish.

You could trip yourself up unless you are willing to root out the issue. Revamp plans with a key associate or loved one. Tonight: Buy tickets to a concert.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You have pushed so hard lately that your energy seems to be waning, even though your enthusiasm remains high. If you would take just an hour for relaxing, and then delegate what you can to others, you will feel revitalized. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s request.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You tend to let others take the lead.

Some people might not realize that

you make a conscious choice to defer to them; otherwise, they could be taken aback. A meeting that transforms into a friendly get-together will be the highlight of your day. Tonight: Say “yes.”

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Emphasis is on routine and daily matters. You might want to make a situation more exciting. You are likely to tease someone whom you’ve put on a pedestal. Fortunately, all parties involved have a sense of humor. Tonight: Put your feet up and watch a favorite TV show.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You might want to express concern about someone’s interpretation of a situation. Perhaps you feel as though this person is way off. Realize that it could be just your wild imagination. Make a point to in-

dulge a loved one. Tonight: Adapt to a friend’s request.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH If you can play it low-key, you’ll feel better by the end of the day. A partner could come through for you in a major way. You might not believe everything you hear. Do your own research, and as a result, you will feel more confident in making decisions. Tonight: At home.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Emphasize your priorities.

You know what will happen if you are able to get your way. Unfortunately, you might not have that opportunity, as a partner will be so charming that people naturally will gravitate toward his or her way of thinking instead. Tonight: Go with the flow.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH

You might notice that you have a need to catch up with others financially. The good news is that this attitude is temporary. Your values could be considerably different from those around you. Try not to point out the differences, but do respect them. Tonight: Indulge a little.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH You are in your element.

You would have to work very hard in order to displease someone in your life. You naturally say and do the right thing. You might not even be aware of the number of admirers you seem to have. Tonight: Be yourself, and let the good times roll.

Bill Burr to bring improv to CAC By hunter homistek A&e writer

Globally recognized comedian Bill Burr brings his opinionated and multifaceted brand of stand-up comedy to the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center tonight at 7:30 p.m.

With a notoriety on stage, television and film, Burr represents an elite class of adaptable comedians. Recently, Burr performed in the Paul Feig (of “Bridesmaids”) film “The Heat” and was featured on AMC’s record-shattering series “Breaking Bad.” In addition, Burr starred in three hour-long standup comedy specials and maintains the “Monday Morning Podcast,” one of the most downloaded and

shared comedy podcasts on iTunes.

“I just like to stand back and wonder how I got here, and I feel lucky,” Burr said.

“I don’t kid myself; there’s a lot of luck involved.”

While Burr’s talents span many mediums, he said stand-up comedy provides something different: spontaneity.

Contrary to many comics who write and rehearse jokes beforehand, Burr likes to simply recall funny events that happen to him during everyday activities and commentate in real time.

“In stand-up, you have this ability to take the crowd down all these different paths, and you’re constantly trying to push yourself to see how far you can go,” Burr said. “I always

equate it to if something funny happens to you during the day and you want to tell your friends at the bar, you’re not going to write it down first.”

This approach, which relies heavily upon Burr’s storytelling technique and his ability to think and deliver on the spot, helped him craft his style into something noteworthy in today’s comedic landscape, but it has also led to frustration and at times, failure.

“You fall on your face all the time,” Burr said. “I have a joke right now that doesn’t have an end, and I just let it happen every show. I want the ending to occur organically on stage, but so far, it just hasn’t.”

After his last performance in West Virginia nearly a decade ago, Burr

wichitaorpheum.com

said the state’s natural beauty has stuck with him through the years, and he intends to show his appreciation on stage tonight.

“I realized that West Virginia is not some freakshow like I had heard,” Burr said. “All I saw were gorgeous lakes and trees. It

was beautiful.”

With more than 20 years of experience and a multitude of accolades dotting his resume, Burr promises excellence as he traverses a gauntlet of topics and issues tonight at the CAC. “The longer you do comedy, the more you see all

the colors of it – the dark, the silly, the absurd,” Burr said. “There are so many, and I try to touch on those, because I don’t want to be just ‘that political guy.’

“I ma ke fun of everybody.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Josh Turner talks upcoming WWVU FM receives three Morgantown performance national college nominations by nick Wesdock A&E WRITER

Country superstar Josh Turner is bringing his talent to the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center Friday and will be joined by up-and-coming artist Logan Brill.

Songs like “All Over Me,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “Your Man” and “Would You Go With Me” have catapulted Turner to his position as one of today’s most widely recognized country artists.

Turner has sold more than five million albums to date and has been nominated for numerous CMA, ACM and Grammy awards.

In 2010, he was one of just seven country artists to have two simultaneous number one hits.

In 2003, Turner released his debut album “Long Black Train,” which landed him on the national country music map. Four years later, he became the second youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

“I played my Grand Ole Opry debut back in December of 2001 and was completely unknown,” Turner said. “I got two standing ovations and an encore, and ever since then, the Opry kept on inviting me back. It just proved to be so valuable for me early on in my career.”

Growing up in Hanna, S.C., Turner didn’t have the opportunity to take music education classes at his high school, so he has made a point of helping young musicians pursue their own careers in the business.

In 2005, he started the Josh Turner Scholarship Fund with his wife with money from his

wordpress.com

own pocket. The scholarship fund seeks to help high school seniors without a music education curriculum.

“These seniors have to have a passion for music or art and want to go to school for it and pursue a career in it,” Turner said.

“We want to help them out financially to chase those dreams and go after those goals.”

Turner said his connection to the crowd is one of the best parts of his job and points out that every performance is different.

“Some crowds we play for, I don’t talk much,” he said. “I just get out there and sing and allow people to dance and have a good time, but then there’s other times where it’s more calm and I can create some banter between me and the crowd, and it turns out to be a lot of fun for everybody involved.”

Opening for Turner is 22-year-old Logan Brill, who is excited for her visit to Morgantown.

“I’m a Josh Turner fan, for sure, so it’s going to be awesome to share a stage with him,” she said. “He’s got awesome fans, and I’ve actually never played in West Virginia before so I’m excited to see that state.”

The young singer/songwriter is known for being well beyond her years and describes her music as hard to categorize under one genre.

“I have so many different influences,” she said.

“I’m more Americana than country, but it has country influence as well, and we also threw in a dash of rock into it, too.”

Brill’s first album, titled “Walking Wires,” is set to release Oct. 15.

“I think the song content is probably my favorite,” Brill said. “We spent a really long time hand picking songs that really spoke to me and really tried to make it a story album. The songs themselves are really my favorite part.”

Brill said the next step for her is to promote the new album and to continue touring. She has a lot more concert dates planned for the fall around the country and hopes to make a splash in the music industry within a year.

As for Turner, there is new music on the way as he wraps up his “Punching Bag” tour.

“We’re probably going to be in the studio before the end of the tour if everything goes as planned,” Turner said. “We’re hoping to have some new music out there the first of the year and hopefully get a record out there next year, too.”

The concert will be held at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre at 8:30 p.m.

Tickets range from $40.75 to $70.75 and can be purchased at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices. WVU students receive a $10 discount with their Mountaineer Card. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia University’s student-run radio station, WWVU, was nominated for three College Media Journal College Radio Awards Tuesday out of the thousands of schools that report to the company.

The station, also known around campus as U92, was nominated for Best Community Resource, Music Director of the Year for Music Director Jimmy Fortuna and Biggest Improvement.

Fortuna said each nomination varies in its reasoning.

According to Fortuna, WWVU was nominated with schools from Minneapolis, Boston and Raleigh, N.C., for Best Community Resource, which says a lot about the relationship between the station and the community.

“It means we take care of our local scene and have proven to be a big-time outlet for members of the oncampus community or local musicians who want to get involved,” he said.

Biggest Improvement is also a special award for the station, as they’re constantly working to gain rec-

ognition and make their station even better.

“What I’ve been hearing is that our website and new leadership just sort of launched us into international relevance very, very quickly,” Fortuna said.

The nomination for Music Director of the Year is also incredibly flattering for Fortuna, but he’s proud of the entire station.

“It’s sort of been a source of long-awaited validation,” he said. “We’ve all worked very hard to revamp our image and make ourselves more marketable across campus. It’s clearly worked.”

He also said the station has hired more staff in the past two semesters than they have in the past two years, and they are continuing to make efforts to better themselves.

Fortuna said he believes the nominations also shine a positive light on the school as a whole.

“It’s just another example of the school’s holistic progress,” he said. “In the four years I’ve been here, the school has bettered its reputation and just grown, big time.”

He also said he believes the national recognition will benefit recruitment

to the school, as the station encompasses a variety of majors. English, art, journalism and many other majors make up the diverse staff.

“I just think the fact that we’re so big on collected individuality is obvious after one glance at our staff,” Fortuna said.

Enrolled as a transfer student at the University of Miami during his junior year, Fortuna felt he had unfinished business and came back to work at WWVU for the duration of his college career.

“I knew we could be something,” he said. “I’ve committed myself to changing the culture of that place since I was made music director. It all just means we’ve arrived.”

The voting for these prestigious college radio awards will take place at the CMJ Music Marathon Oct. 15-19 in New York, and the winners will be announced at 4 p.m. on College Day, Oct. 17.

‘WISE BEYOND HIS YEARS’

Childress can end quarterback controversy Saturday The West Virginia quarterback battle may be temporarily over, but it could be for good if redshirt freshman Ford Childress performs well against a decent Maryland team Saturday.

Childress looked good against Georgia State Saturday, throwing three touchdowns and more than 350 yards with just one interception. Overall, it was a good performance for a first-time starter – let alone someone seeing their first action in a college football game.

“I thought it went pretty well,” Childress said. “(I) Had some balls I want to take back. I think overall we played pretty well.”

The redshirt freshman said he felt some nerves before the game. Childress found out he would be the named the starter after Sept.

11’s practice. He took advantage of the opportunity against the Panthers, but Saturday’s test against a 3-0 Maryland team will truly cement his starting role.

Childress was able to bounce back from an interception against GSU, and that poise is what he needs against a decent Terps team.

The tempo will be something to note against Maryland this week. Both Holgorsen and Childress have alluded to the tempo not being as quick as it needs to be.

“I thought we had a good tempo,” Childress said following the GSU game.

“There were a couple plays that were slow. They were able to get a blitz in on a couple of runs that really messed us up, but other than that, I think it was pretty solid.”

A different environment for Childress will surely allow WVU fans to get an indication if the redshirt freshman is ready to lead this team the rest of the season.

After all, it’s the first road game which he will start of his college career.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Childress said. “We’re playing at (the) Raven’s stadium, so I think that will be a neat experience.”

Childress will still need to work on his deep ball as Saturday approaches. Against Georgia State, while a lot of things did go well, the redshirt freshman did underthrow some receivers, and some of those receivers had crucial drops.

“The rhythm between me and the receivers has improved,” he said earlier this week. “We missed some deep balls throughout the game, and so we worked on that today. We got our timing down.”

Georgia State is in its first year as an FBS program. The Panthers have only existed for four years as a football entity. Maryland has more history than what WVU and Childress saw Saturday, and it’s more intriguing when the Terps and Mountaineers have built up a respectable rivalry these past few years.

WVU and Maryland have played each other 49 times since 1919. The Mountaineers lead the all-time series 26-21-2 and have won the last seven games against the Terps.

It’s not easy to say how Childress will react. With added responsibility comes an extra notch of pressure.

Some quarterbacks thrive under pressure and competition while others do not.

Childress can solidify his role as the Mountaineers’ starting quarterback against the Terps in Baltimore, or he can open this competition up again. Obviously, the better competition will truly allow many to analyze the future of WVU football. amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Daryl Worley and Nick Kwiatkoski chase down Georgia State quarterback Ronnie Bell.

Freshman cornerback Daryl Worley impressing coaches with versatility, work ethic by doug walp sports writer

The Mountaineers allowed the second-most touchdowns through the air in the country and consistently let close games get out of hand almost exclusively because of shoddy defense.

New personnel at the cornerback position this season has substantially raised the collective level of play in the secondary, and according to West Virginia’s coaches, there is even more impressive talent within the secondary waiting in the wings.

True freshman Daryl Worley has officially broken onto the scene this year, wowing his coaches with his

football IQ and his impressive athleticism. It might not be long until he breaks into the starting lineup at corner.

“He’s the next guy in, yes, and he looks good,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“He brings energy and does some things out there athletically that I don’t see happening very often.”

Worley has seen action in all three games, recording six tackles, including one for a loss. The true freshman also has a pass break-up during those three appearances.

He’s played his way into West Virginia’s starting nickelback position after being limited to special teams and even playing a

little SPUR linebacker in the weeks before.

New cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell said he’s very happy to get Worley back in the secondary and sees even bigger things in the future for the true freshman.

“He’ll definitely be in the rotation at corner; if not, then the nickel position,” Mitchell said. “He’s wise beyond his years. He’s a young man (who) gets it. That’s as plain as you can put it.

He goes and puts the extra time in the film room, he’s putting in extra work in the weight room, and he’s going to win most of those competitive battles one-on-one out on the football field.

“He’s a young man that’s driven not just from a football aspect, but he’s driven

in the classroom. He’s a complete young man. He’s what we want to get to in this scheme. He’s tall, he’s physical, he’s rangy, (he) has a great football IQ, and that’s a great combination for making an all-conference football player.”

Holgorsen said it probably won’t be long before Worley starts developing a reputation as a big-time contributor at West Virginia.

“He’s got loads of potential,” Holgorsen said. “Could he be an every down player?

Yes. Whether it happens this year or next year, he will be one. He will be a tremendous corner for us.”

It’s rare for the third-year West Virginia head coach to praise any player to such extent, let alone a true fresh-

man, but according to his teammates, Worley is a rare player indeed.

“He’s going to do a lot of things in the future. I can see it,” Banks said. “But we need him to step up right now. He played good against Georgia State. He’s a big kid, got a big frame. I like him out there. He’s got that confidence – he’s got that swagger that you need out there as a DB.” The Mountaineers will need all the help they can get from Worley and the rest of the secondary, as Maryland comes into Saturday’s contest No. 28 in the nation in passing yards and averaging more than 40 points per game. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Middle blockers McCoy, Wells make an impact by jon fehrens sports writer

While other teammates have been grabbing headlines, middle blockers for the West Virginia University volleyball team Evyn McCoy and Caleah Wells have been quietly making a name for themselves.

McCoy and Wells have discreetly made WVU the No. 9 team in the nation for blocks per set ; the Mountaineers claim the spot by averaging 2.93 blocks per set. George Mason and Utah own the No. 8 and No. 7 spots, respectively, with a 2.97 average.

McCoy, a junior from Clare, Ill., played in 102 sets for the Mountaineers in the 2012 season and started 25 straight matches. For two consecutive years, McCoy led the team with 84 blocks.

She was also named to the Gold and Blue Classic AllTournament Team after posting 22 kills and 14 total blocks.

Wells hails from Red Oak, Texas, where she was named to Prepvolleyball. com’s 2012 Senior Aces 150 list in high school. During her freshman year at WVU, Wells was only one of two freshmen to start and play every set for WVU last season. Wells tallied 71 blocks to finish second on the team behind fellow middle blocker McCoy. The combination of McCoy and Wells have become one of the volleyball team’s greatest strengths.

As of Tuesday, Wells ranks No. 2 in the Big 12 Conference in blocks per set with a 1.32 average. Wells is only .09 behind Oklahoma’s Sallie McLaurin who currently leads the Big 12 in blocks per set with a 1.41 average.

McCoy is currently ranked No. 10 with a 1.11 average, only .01 behind

Kansas State’s Taylor Johnson.

Though McCoy and Wells have built their game by stone-walling opponents, they always find a way to chip in offensively.

When the Mountaineers faced Hampton Saturday, Wells and McCoy combined for 19 kills, and even in their first loss of the season to Duquesne, the duo tallied 11 kills between themselves.

“When Jordan is doing well, my blocker will go block Jordan, and then I have an open net. When you have consistent hitters on the front line with you, it definitely helps with opening the net up,” Wells said.

Wells and McCoy, along with the rest of their Junior Evyn McCoy celebrates during the Mountaineer Invitational. team, will try to bounce back this weekend at the Gold & Blue Players Challenge after suffering their first loss of the season to Duquesne Tuesday night.

The Players Challenge is slated to begin at 1 p.m.

Friday.

West Virginia quarterback Ford Childress greets fans following Saturday’s game against Georgia State.

AP

NDSU hosts ESPN show; fans worry over location FARGO, N.D. (AP) — ESPN is calling an audible for its popular College GameDay show by departing from its typical large-campus backdrops – think Michigan and Clemson – and featuring North Dakota State, owners of back-to-back Football Championship Subdivision titles and an early-season victory over a Big 12 team.

“North Dakota State, in a way, is sort of the Alabama of the FCS,” GameDay senior coordinating producer Lee Fitting said in explaining why the show is coming to Fargo on Saturday. “They’re two-time defending national champions, ranked No. 1 in the

current poll, ten national titles for the program.

“The next question was, why not?”

The news made fans of Bison Nation ecstatic over the imminent arrival of Lee Corso and Co., but some of them are grumbling about where the show’s setting up shop.

Rather than broadcasting from the Fargodome, where dozens of green and yellow coach buses and other homemade party wagons gather for tailgating, ESPN will be in front of the city’s historic Fargo Theatre.

Fitting said his director returned from a scouting trip to the city of about 100,000 people with a sin-

gle recommendation that serves up a slice of postcard-worthy Americana.

“It just screamed at him as the best location,” Fitting said.

Parts of Bison Nation think otherwise, so much so that officials with the school’s athletic department have implored them to stop tweeting their displeasure to ESPN and pleaded with fans to come downtown before the 2:30 p.m. game against Delaware State.

“It’ll be more than worth it to sacrifice three hours of tailgating to head downtown, support local businesses and provide the best welcome ESPN College GameDay has ever

received,’” NDSU athletic director Gene Taylor said on the gobison.com website. Besides, Taylor said, the tailgating lots will open earlier than usual.

It’s only the fourth time GameDay has featured an FCS matchup – the last in 2008 for Hampton at Florida A&M – and it comes during a week where there’s a dearth of top-flight Football Subdivision games.

“The stars aligned right,” Bison head coach Craig Bohl said.

Fitting also said GameDay has been moving away from stadiums and tailgating as backdrops, noting the Michigan show two weeks ago was on the

quad instead of near the Big House and the Clemson set eschewed the exterior of Death Valley for a huge lawn on Aug. 31.

Fitting said he understands why some fans, particularly NDSU students, are worried about the nearly two-mile trip downtown.

“But we want to show off the school, we want to show off Fargo, we want to show off North Dakota in the absolute best light. The downtown area does that for what we’re looking for,” Fitting said, noting ESPN is working with the school to line up transportation.

Plus, the Bison play in a big brick building with a roof.

Fargo Police Lt. Joel Vettel said he expects people to begin lining up about 5 a.m. for the show, which runs from 8 to 11 a.m. CDT. “The tough part about this is that we have no idea how many people are going to show up,” said Vettel, a former Bison wrestler. “We’re going to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.”

Former Fargo Theatre director Margie Bailly is excited about the show’s

choice of venue, saying Monday she might have to revise her career highlights, which include the chamber of commerce’s highest honor for spearheading the $3 million renovation of the 85-yearold building and marquee.

“ESPN? Isn’t that the pinnacle for an arts advocate?” Bailly said.

She then lauded the network for a choice she believes will help attract new students, contrary to those who want the football atmosphere front and center.

“If we have a cool downtown and an art-deco theater is cool, that positions us well in terms of the recruitment of students,” she said. “If we have just a dead downtown, that’s not going to be too exciting.”

Clemson Tigers out for revenge against N.C. State

AP

Wide receiver Sammy Watkins stiff-arms a Virginia Tech defender.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Clemson coach Dabo Swinney hasn’t forgotten what happened the last time his Tigers carried a top-10 ranking into North Carolina State.

He’s focused on ensuring it doesn’t happen again Thursday night.

The third-ranked Tigers (2-0) enter Raleigh with their highest ranking in 25 years and the Atlantic Coast Conference favorite is squarely in the national championship chase. That means they can’t afford a repeat of their inexplicably bad performance two years ago against the Wolfpack (2-0).

Clemson, ranked No. 7 during that last visit, played without injured star receiver Sammy Watkins, gave up 27 secondquarter points and lost

37-13. Swinney called it “one of the most miserable games I’ve ever been a part of,” while Watkins said the Tigers “didn’t deal well with the success we had as a team.”

“My job was to have the team ready, and when they’re not ready, that’s on me,” Swinney said. “We went up there and executed a plan to lose – four turnovers, three of them inside our own 20, against a good football team at their place? You can’t win that way.

“Hopefully these guys on our team have grown through their whole team experience, and will put their best foot forward.”

While that experience is one the Tigers would like to forget, it offers confidence for the Wolfpack and first-year coach

Dave Doeren. He inherited a team that followed its upset of Clemson with a come-from-behind win against No. 3 Florida State last year with a last-minute touchdown.

Doeren is hoping that his team, a two-touchdown underdog, can upset a top-10 team for the third straight season. It also marks the Wolfpack’s first ACC game under Doeren, the former Northern Illinois coach.

“Those games aren’t going to win this game for us,” Doeren said. “But at least there’s guys in the room that remember. Our young guys are just out there playing. They don’t know any better. For the older guys, I think it’s a source of pride and our fans obviously are a big part of those wins with

the noise we can generate on third down and on key moments defensively.”

Here are five things to watch in Thursday’s Clemson-N.C. State matchup: TEMPO: Both teams like to get plenty of snaps in no-huddle schemes.

Quarterback Tajh Boyd directs Clemson’s attack, which averaged nearly 86 plays in wins against highly ranked Georgia and South Carolina State.

N.C. State averaged about 82 plays in its wins against Louisiana Tech and Richmond. That could lead to some worn-out defenses Thursday night.

WOLFPACK’S SECONDARY: N.C . State struggled to slow Richmond quarterback Michael Strauss, who completed 29 of 45 passes for 300 yards and two scores

on Sept. 7. In addition, four Spiders grabbed at least five passes in the 2321 win by the Wolfpack.

N.C. State’s secondary, which lost three of its four starters from 2012, will face even more pressure from Boyd and Watkins.

DAYES & CREECY: N.C. State running backs Tony Creecy and freshman Matt Dayes could play a big role in keeping the Wolfpack in this one. N.C. State must move the chains to sustain drives while keeping Boyd and the Tigers’ offense on the sidelines.

Dayes has already scored four touchdowns in his first two games.

THOMAS’ GROWTH: N.C. State lost starting quarterback Brandon Mitchell to a broken foot on the third series of the season opener. That

meant Colorado State transfer Pete Thomas had to take over leading an offense that’s better suited to Mitchell’s skillset. Doeren said Thomas has benefited from his increased practice work with the starters. “He hasn’t seen a defense like this one yet so this will be a tough test,” Doeren said.

PEAKE’S ABSENCE: This will be Clemson’s first game since losing secondleading receiver Charone Peake to a season-ending knee injury in practice.

That means reserve Adam Humphries is expected to move into the starting lineup. Humphries has started five of 29 games in his career with 63 catches and one touchdown.

“Where this really hurts us is our depth,” Swinney said.

Reid ready to make return to Philadelphia with Chiefs PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Andy Reid cleared his throat, uttered some familiar phrases and downplayed his return to Philadelphia.

Same old Andy.

“That’s not where I’m at right now,” Reid said when asked if it’s going to be emotional when his Kansas City Chiefs (2-0) play the Eagles (1-1) on Thursday night.

“I don’t feel that way. If we weren’t playing a football game against a good football team, maybe your mind goes there. I don’t see my mind going there. My mind is going to be on the job at hand and what we’ve got to get accomplished in a tough place to play.”

Reid led the Eagles to nine

playoff appearances, six division titles, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl before he was fired after going 4-12 last year in his 14th season.

While he’s off to an excellent start with the Chiefs, who were 2-14 last year, Chip Kelly has reinvigorated the Eagles and their fans with his fast-paced offense and all-around energy.

“I have great respect for Andy,” Kelly said. “If you’re a coach in the NFL, anybody head coaches in one spot for 14 years, you kind of look to them and say, ‘Holy Smokes!’

If you just walk down these hallways and look at the championships, the division championships, the confer-

ence championships, what he’s done, he’s had a huge impact on this organization.

“There’s not a lot of guys out there in this profession that carry themselves, from a coaching standpoint, when you get a chance to be around them, like Andy Reid.”

Five things to watch for in Chiefs-Eagles: WHAT GIVES ON THE GROUND?: Led by LeSean McCoy’s NFL-best 237 yards rushing, the Eagles are second in the league with 352 yards on the ground. The Chiefs’ defense is second against the run, allowing 54 yards per game. Something has to give. “Their front seven is pretty good,” McCoy said. “ So far, it’s the most com-

plete defense we’ve played.

But with the offense we have, it falls on us. We just have to execute.”

PASS-HAPPY ANDY VS. POROUS SECONDARY: Reid has always employed a pass-first philosophy and it’s no different with the Chiefs.

Alex Smith has thrown on 59 percent of Kansas City’s plays, excluding his scrambles that probably started as pass plays. The Eagles’ woeful secondary only gives Reid more incentive to pass, allowing 748 yards passing, third worst in the league.

“They try to give you a lot of unorthodox looks,” Smith said of Philadelphia’s defense. “We have to be on with our communication.

Loud stadium, so everyone is going to have to be on the same page.”

BLOCKING POE: Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe already has 3 1/2 sacks, including 2 1/2 on Tony Romo last week. “He’s big, he’s got really good feet, he looks strong in his upper body.

He’s a smart player, too,” Eagles right guard Todd Herremans said.

MISTAKE-FREE MIKE: Michael Vick is off to an excellent start in Chip Kelly’s up-tempo offense. Vick threw for a career-best 428 yards last week and has a 119.0 passer rating. He’s accounted for six TDs (four passing, two rushing) and zero interceptions.

“He’s very explosive, he brings the run aspect to his position, and him being a dynamic player, you always have to account for him and make sure you know what’s going on,” Chiefs safety Eric Berry said.

TIRED LEGS: The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to start the season with three games in 11 days. The Chiefs are playing their third game in 12 days. Expect some weary players out there.

“I’m happy that we’re doing this at the beginning of the season,” Eagles linebacker Connor Barwin said.

“If we were trying to get three games (in 11 days) in Weeks 12, 13 and 14, I don’t know if you could do it.”
