Program shares meaning of consent

BY MEghan Bonomo & Alexis Randolph Da Staff

WELLWVU: The Students’ Center for Health is committed to increasing awareness about what consent in a relationship truly is, how to prevent sexual assault and what to do if they or a friend becomes a victim.

According to its website, the program aims to create a campus environment in

which intervening on behalf of another student is considered the norm.

As a community, WVU can help deal with sexual assault by being aware of what it is and how to prevent it.

“Our program is targeted very much toward protective factors in terms of what students can do to reduce their chance of being sexually assaulted,” said Alison Tartaglia, a health education specialist with the WELLWVU Office of

Wellness and Health Promotion. “We in no way want anyone to think that if they have been sexually assaulted that it is any fault of their own.”

Emily Stinespring, a junior sport and exercise psychology student, said college students are more susceptible to sexual assault within the first six weeks of school.

“Students have the freedom to drink and partake in actions they normally wouldn’t, and this is due to

The story of the 201314 WVU Hockey Club will be largely decided by an element the team lacked in the 2012-13 season: experience.

The team finished second last season in the Collegiate Hockey Mid-American conference with a 12-3-0-1 record, but contending with a rigorous nonconference schedule, had a 13-16-0-2 mark overall, missing the national tournament by one standings point.

This result came just one year after a stellar season that saw the team advance to that same tournament, losing in the second round of the national tournament to then-No. 1 Penn State University.

Zumba is a great way to stay fit and have fun, and Saturday it will also help benefit breast cancer awareness.

From 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the Wiles Hill Community Center, four certified instructors will teach participants how to dance their way to fitness.

All proceeds will benefit the “2CEMGROW” (pronounced ‘to see them grow’) walking team, a group participating in the Susan G. Komen threeday, 60-mile walk for breast cancer.

Third-year team captain Tina Bland said she’s hoping to get a lot of students involved.

“Zumba is very popular among the younger age groups, and we’re hoping to get a lot of student involvement,” Bland said.

With this event, Bland hopes she and her team of six can raise enough

Taibi, a WVU graduate, brings with him 20 years of coaching success and has been certified as a Level 5 (master) coach by the USA Hockey program.

“Basically I bring a lot of experience to the table,” Taibi said. “WVU has never had a problem with their effort on the ice, their work ethic; it’s always been top-notch, it’s always been there.

“What I want to do is clean things up; I want them to be better as a team defensively, because when you’re good defensively, you’re in every game.”

With a self-described intense coaching style, Taibi said he looks to inject that discipline and defensive structure into his roster.

“This month is drinkWELL and WELLaware, which kind of fit hand in hand because statistics show that a lot of sexual assault is coupled with alcohol usage,” Bower said.

alcohol,” Stinespring said.

“With increased alcohol consumption, (it is more likely) that sexual assault can occur.”

Every month, WELLWVU focuses on a different campaign. This month aims to really make an impact on students, especially those adjusting to college life for the first time.

Richard Bower, wellness coordinator at Pierpont and social work graduate student, is in charge of getting students

money to donate $23,000 each to walk in the threeday walk for breast cancer awareness in October.

Bland said their affiliate at West Virginia University, the Student Nurses’ Association has helped greatly in the past years.

The association has sponsored a number of events to raise money and even promoted events by selling T-shirts, some with the flying West Virginia logo in addition to bracelets and pins.

“We have tried to get the word out by posting the event on Facebook and running ads in the Dominion Post, but the news has gotten around mainly by word of mouth,” Bland said.

It’s easy to sign up for the event; all that’s necessary is a $10 admission fee and a positive attitude.

More than 100 employers were in attendance of the West Virginia University career fair Wednesday and Thursday to see the skills students and alumni have to offer.

The fair took place in the Mountainlair Ballrooms, where roughly 2,000 students and alumni attended the two-day event.

Sarah Glenn, assistant director of Employer Relations for the Career Services Center, was impressed by the turnout.

“We encourage all stu-

dents to attend this event, even those who are freshmen and don’t have a major. You never know what employers you’re going to learn about or what career path you might find out about by talking to employers here,” Glenn said.

Some students who attended the fair Wednesday already had interviews lined up with companies Thursday.

“The majority of these companies are looking for 2014 openings,” Glenn said. “It seems really early, but (students) need to start looking now.

Study abroad exposes students to new culture

BY Hilary Kinney Correspondent

Courses in language and culture, as well as foreign exchange students from all over the world, make West Virginia University’s campus a diverse environment ideal for learning and living.

However, each year WVU students are encouraged to take part in study abroad opportunities to broaden their own horizons.

Studying abroad can help students master a language, make job connections in foreign countries, and become more open to

different ways of life.

Pedro Antonio Moreno Roche, a WVU foreign exchange student from Spain, is studying in Morgantown for one semester.

As a student from the Universidad de Murcia studying to become a translator, Roche chose to come to America to improve his English.

“I could have arrived in the United Kingdom in three hours just taking a plane,” Roche said. “But I will always have that chance.”

Roche said it would be more difficult for him to visit the United States, if he

was not participating in a study abroad program.

While finances are often a main concern for students considering going abroad, studying through a foreign exchange program associated with WVU allows them to pay for their studies with their standard tuition money.

Matthew Cardinal, a senior international studies and Spanish student, studied in Spain last semester at Roche’s school, the Universidad de Murcia.

Cardinal said he had always wanted to study abroad and decided to give it a shot because the

opportunity coordinated so well with his fields of study.

“You do not need to have any previous language practice or a certain major to study abroad,” Cardinal said. “Anyone can go, and I would be the first to recommend it. It was a beautiful experience.”

While studying abroad, both Roche and Cardinal had to adjust to the differences in the nations they were visiting.

“Here at WVU, you are usually really proud of who you are and the university you are enrolled in,” Roche said. “I find (WVU) to be

really happy with who (they) are as a community.”

Roche said that although he is only studying at WVU for one semester, he said the Mountaineer experience will stay with him forever. “‘Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer,” he said.

Both Roche and Cardinal said they would advise any student who has a desire to study abroad to try it.

“Never give up,” Roche said. “At first it can be difficult ; I myself almost changed my mind the very last day before taking the

plane, but I would have regretted it my whole life.”

Cardinal said he believes every student should try the once-in-a-lifetime a experience that is studying abroad.

“Sign up and go. What are you waiting for?” Cardinal said. “You have nothing to lose, and you will be happy you did.”

Students interested in learning more about study abroad opportunities can visit the Study Abroad Fair, Monday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Concert for the Kids to benefit Child Advocacy Center

BY AlYSSA PLUCHINO Staff WRiter

The Monongalia County Child Advocacy Center (MCCAC) is a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to help young victims of abuse and neglect become children again.

This weekend the MCCAC will host A Concert for the Kids to aid fundraising efforts for their “New Building Fund.

The concert will be held Saturday at 4:30 p.m. in Chestnut Ridge Park. The event will feature live music from two bluegrass bands, From the Hip and Vandalia.

All are invited for a fun night of music, face painting, balloon art and a full magic show. Food and beverages from Tailpipes will also be available for purchase. Admission is $10 for adults and

Continued from page 1 early.”

One of the companies looking for potential employees during the job fair was Highmark, an insurance company based out of Pittsburgh.

Eric Hays, vice president of Western regional markets at Highmark and West Virginia University alumnus, said he loved interacting with students and giving them advice.

“The best conversations that I’ve had are with students who have a lot of questions as opposed to giving a sales pitch,” Hays said.

“I’m here because I want to help some of these kids figure out what they want to do when they grow up.”

Although Highmark typically hires sales and marketing students, the

it is free for children.

“This is an exciting event for adults and children,” said Kayla Taylor Benson, development coordinator. “In addition to raising funds for our new home, we’ll enjoy an evening of great music, activities for children, and a chance to learn a little more about the MCCAC.” The MCCAC works to guide each family that seeks their assistance down the road to recovery, lending their support every step of the way.

Each year, one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused by the time they reach the age of 18. Although this statistic may be alarming, a majority of child abuse crimes are never reported, leaving the victims to suffer in silence.

To a child who has just suffered a traumatic event,

having to talk about what happened can be just as terrifying. Despite the best intentions of the criminal justice system, its process often requires repeated questioning and interviews.

The MCCAC is a unique organization that coordinates its efforts with court officials so that the child is required to tell his or her story only once. The MCCAC provides a professional interviewer who is trained to work with traumatized children free of charge.

In addition to easing the prosecution process, the organization also offers victims and non-offending caregivers free therapy, support and education programs.

“When your entire world is turned upside down, the Child Advocacy Center is a place of support, consis-

tency and healing for nonoffending caregivers, but more importantly for our children. My daughter found safety, strength and healing at the MCCAC, and because of that, she is truly happy again,” said a mother of a 7-year-old girl in the program.

Dr. Laura Capage is a licensed psychologist and the organization’s founding director. The doctor said she wanted to create a clinic that focused on doing what is right for children, one that can devote whatever time is needed to help heal traumatized families.

Capage, who also grew up in Monongalia County, has worked with families in the area since the MCCAC was established in 2005. Throughout the years, the MCCAC has grown immensely and currently

Zack LaDuke returns with his speed and will look to push the pace on rushes and build on his successful 2012-13 campaign.

The team also retains captain defenseman Dylan Coffey, who chipped in with 3 goals and 12 assists in 2012, and will again wear the “C.” General manager Terry Jarrett is counting on these factors translating to results.

“Coach Taibi’s experience and the team’s maturity will be a huge difference in winning games,” Jarrett said. “We should make up

for that one-point difference that kept us from a return to nationals.”

The fortitude of the team will be tested early and often with a grueling schedule featuring several American Collegiate Hockey Association top-25 teams, both in and out of conference.

“I believe we are going to surprise a top-10 team or two this year,” Jarrett said.

“I am expecting a top-10 finish.”

The Division-I team will open its season against perennial contender Liberty

University with back-toback home games today and Saturday at the Morgantown Ice Arena. Friday’s game-time is set for 9:30 p.m., while Saturday’s game will be played at 4 p.m.

company is reaching out to a variety of fields to get a wider array of talent.

“Be flexible. Don’t necessarily get married to your major, because what you do has a lot of application to what we do, whether you’re in journalism or human resources,” Hays said.

“There’s a lot of skills that you’re learning that can translate into what we’re doing.”

Alumni also benefited from attending the career fair. After being in the leasing market in Morgantown for a while, Connie Conrad, a 2009 WVU graduate with a public relations degree, came to the fair to explore other career options.

“I realized it was time for a change,” she said.

“I’d been out of the job hunt for quite a while, so I stopped in the (Career Ser vices Center) for about two hours on Tuesday and got some great feedback on my

resume.”

The advice she got from Career Services before the fair helped her establish connections with potential employers during the fair.

Anna Onderik, a freshman pre-sports and exercise psychology student, said she took advantage of exploring career options at the fair.

“I’m trying to get myself out there to see what is being offered here and find out what I want to go into personally. I want to see what other fields are out there besides my major,” Onderik said.

The Career Services Center will host the fair again in the spring.

In the meantime, students can use the free s e r v i c e s t h e c e nt e r provides.

works with more than 1,000 children and families.

“This is more than a job for me. I feel that it is what I was called to do. I love going to work, I feel honored to have had the opportunity to help grow and shape the center over the years,” Capage said. “It is like a third child to me.”

The organization eventually outgrew its office and ran out of the space needed to serve every family who seeks their help.

In February, the organization was given the opportunity to relocate to a much more accommodating home that is customized to its needs.

The larger space allows the MCCAC to provide each family with a safe and friendly environment to learn and heal. Each ther-

apist has a private office, and there is now a separate space for interviews and therapy sessions.

The home also includes a new playroom and grassy outdoor area where kids can play basketball or play in the sandbox. The new building has proved to be a positive, bright and professional setting, but most importantly, it feels like a home and not a rented office.

The MCCAC hopes to raise a total of $425,000 by 2015 in order to officially purchase their new home.

Iran minister, UN chief discuss nuclear issue UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iran’s foreign minister and the U.N. SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon exchanged views Thursday on the country’s controversial nuclear program and its potential role in ending the Syrian conflict, two issues expected to dominate next week’s annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations.

Mohammad Javad Zarif, a former U.N. ambassador, returned to U.N. headquarters for the first time since he was named foreign minister by the country’s new president, Hasan Rouhani, who will be making his first appearance at the General Assembly on Tuesday.

“I commend the efforts of the new government in Iran in promoting dialogue with the international community,” Ban said.

“I’m pleased the govern-

ment ... is now taking some concrete steps to fulfill the promises made by president Rouhani during his recent election campaign.”

After years of frozen diplomatic relations, U.S. President Barack Obama and Rouhani, considered a relative moderate in Iran’s hard-line clerical regime, exchanged letters after his election. This has fueled widespread speculation that U.S. and Iranian officials may meet on the sidelines of the General Assembly.

Avaaz, an activist organization that uses the internet to mobilize support for various political issues, said it launched a campaign this week which has already been signed by more than 1.1 million people calling on the U.S. and Iranian leaders to agree to talks at the General Assem-

bly. It is also running polls in Iran to gauge opinion on a U.S.-Iran meeting.

“This could be President Obama’s Nixon-to-China moment that would save Syrian lives – the question is whether the two reformminded leaders who will soon be mere steps away from each other in New York will seize it,” Avaaz Campaign Director Ian Bassin said.

Zarif hosted a lunch for many U.N. ambassador and Wednesday and invited the five permanent members of the Security Council – the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France.

Several ambassadors who attended said they did not see U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power and a wellinformed U.N. diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because the lunch was private, said the

U.S. did not attend.

The secretary-general told reporters he had “a very good meeting” with Zarif and praised the government’s release Wednesday of 12 political prisoners – a move Ban said he pushed for when he visited Iran in August 2012.

U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky added that they discussed “Iran’s growing cooperation with the international community on a host of issues, including the nuclear file, as well the role Iran could play in promoting a political solution to the conflict in Syria.”

Zarif was equally upbeat about the meeting.

“We had a good meeting with the secretary-general, discussed various issues of interest to all countries including Iran and the United Nations,” the Iranian foreign minister told

several reporters. “We attach great importance to the role of the United Nations and we had a good discussion on the nuclear issue and on other issues.”

The U.N. Security Council has imposed four rounds of sanctions against Iran because of concerns it is seeking to develop nuclear weapons and its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment. The U.S. and its Western allies have imposed even more punishing sanctions which have severely affected Iran’s economy.

The West believes Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, aimed only at producing energy and isotopes for medical use. Rohani told NBC this week that Iran has “never pursued or sought a nuclear bomb and

we are not going to do so.”

Rouhani said last month that the foreign ministry – not the Supreme National Security Council – will lead nuclear talks with world powers, a shift away from security officials being in control.

Zarif said at the time that the next round of talks with the five permanent Security Council members and Germany will take place after the General Assembly’s ministerial meeting.

He said he will meet European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, the convener of the talks, on the sidelines of next week’s meetings. Foreign ministers from the six nations are also scheduled to meet next Thursday on the assembly sidelines to discuss next steps.

Climate report struggles with temperature

AP

An iceberg melts off Ammassalik Island in Eastern Greenland. Scientists who are fine-tuning a landmark U.N. report on climate change are struggling to explain why global warming appears to have slowed down in the past 15 years even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (AP) — Scientists working on a landmark U.N. report on climate change are struggling over how to address a wrinkle in the meteorological data that has given ammunition to global-warming skeptics: The heating of Earth’s surface appears to have slowed in the past 15 years even though greenhouse gas emissions keep rising.

For years, skeptics have touted what looks like a slowdown in surface warming since 1998 to cast doubt on the scientific consensus that humans are cooking the planet by burning coal, oil and natural gas.

Scientists and statisticians have dismissed the purported slowdown as a statistical mirage, arguing among other things that it reflects random climate fluctuations and an unusually hot year picked as the starting point for charting temperatures. They also say the data suggests the “missing” heat is simply settling temporarily – in the ocean.

But as scientists study the issue, the notion of a slowdown has gained more mainstream attention, putting pressure on the authors of the new U.N. report to deal with it.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report is expected to assert that global warming is continuing.

It is also expected to affirm with greater certainty than ever before the link between global warming and human activity.

Leaked documents obtained by The Associated Press show there are deep concerns among governments over how to address the purported slowdown ahead of next week’s meeting of the IPCC. “I think to not address it would be a problem because then you basically have the de-

nialists saying, ‘Look, the IPCC is silent on this issue,’” said Alden Meyer of the Washingtonbased advocacy group Union of Concerned Scientists.

In a leaked June draft of the report’s summary for policymakers, the IPCC said that while the rate of warming between 1998 and 2012 was about half the average rate since 1951, the globe is still heating up. As for the apparent slowdown, it cited natural variability in the climate system, as well as cooling effects from volcanic eruptions and a downward phase in solar activity.

But in comments to the IPCC obtained by the AP, several governments that reviewed the draft objected to how the issue was tackled.

Germany called for the reference to the slowdown to be deleted, saying a time span of 10 to 15 years was misleading in the context of climate

change, which is measured over decades and centuries.

The U.S. also urged the authors to include the “leading hypothesis” that the reduction in warming is linked to more heat being transferred to the deep ocean.

Belgium objected to using 1998 as a starting year for any statistics. That year was exceptionally warm, so any graph showing global temperatures starting with 1998 looks flat.

Using 1999 or 2000 as a starting year would yield a more upward-pointing curve.

In fact, every year after 2000 has been warmer than the year 2000.

Hungary worried the report would provide ammunition for skeptics.

Many skeptics claim that the rise in global average temperatures stopped in the late 1990s, and their argument has gained momentum among some media and politicians,

even though the scientific evidence of climate change is piling up: The previous decade was the warmest on record and, so far, this decade is even warmer, albeit slightly. Meanwhile, Arctic sea ice shrank to a record low last year, and the IPCC draft said sea levels have risen by 7.5 inches (19 centimeters) since 1901.

Many researchers say the slowdown in warming is related to the natural ocean warming and cooling cycles known as El Nino and La Nina.

Also, a 2013 study by Kevin Trenberth at the National Center for Atmospheric Research found dramatic recent warming in the deeper oceans, between 2,300 and 6,500 feet.

“The heat is not missing,” said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, who is also a Green Party member of the British Columbia parliament. “The heat is there. The heat is in the ocean.”

The idea is that the energy trapped by carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases has to go somewhere on Earth, said Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer. But that heat energy will eventually make its way to the ocean surface and the air, putting surface warming back on the increasing track, he said.

“Energy will hide out in the ocean for a while before it pops

out into the atmosphere,” Oppenheimer said.

For scientists studying the last 10 years, what’s been happening “is a cool question,” said U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist Gabriel Vecchi. But “anybody who tries to use the past 10 years to argue about the reality of global warming – which is based upon century-scale data – is just being distracting.”

Jonathan Lynn, a spokesman for the IPCC, declined to comment on the content of the report because it hasn’t been made final, but said it would provide “a comprehensive picture of all the science relevant to climate change.”

New stereotype promotes equality

Blame it on the new iOS 7 update or the recent reintroduction of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, but it seems like there have been a lot of “white girl” jokes circulating social media websites.

Not to say that any other ethnicity or gender can’t enjoy a good Starbuck’s drink or debatably successful iPhone update, but somehow these features of our life have been attributed to a new breed of stereotype: the common white girl.

Perpetuated by the Twitter account of the same name, the common white girl seems to be stereotyped as a suburban college girl who has a penchant for yoga pants and describing herself as “white girl wasted.”

Things White People Like, a popular website that documents habits and ideas apparently primarily affiliated with Caucasians, also dives into this new racist stereotype.

Even though it’s a remark against white people, there is no doubt that these new jokes are, in fact, racist.

But the fact they are so often made by white people shows that Caucasians are readily making fun of themselves; and laughing at yourself is something we should all do a bit more.

For the first time in history, white people are finally becoming secure enough in their ethnicities to point the finger at them-

selves and to make jokes at their own expense to emphasize the point that we’re all in the same boat.

Just like Asian Americans, African Americans and a variety of other groups have been on the receiving end of jokes and stereotypes for years, it’s refreshing to see those who once made these jokes are able to take them, too.

Having “white people probs” like getting a North Face jacket dirty or failing

to perfect twerking skills are not necessarily things we should brush under the carpet while still continuing to poke fun at other ethnicity’s stereotypes. It’s something Caucasians, and other ethnicities as well, should rejoice.

Caucasians have expressed “white man’s guilt” for centuries now, alluding to the idea other cultures have been repressed while the white man ruled supreme.

But with the heaping amounts of diversity present on our campus, the idea of one race besting another is positively abolished.

We are all people, and we all enjoy a good joke. Being secure enough with yourself is the secret to beating your own ethnic insecurities, whatever they may be, and getting on with the more important things in life–like that Pumpkin Spice Latte. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

op-ed commentary

Defending LGBT rights in the W.Va. workplace derrik whitlow columnist

In light of the Supreme Court striking down DOMA and passing Prop 8 back to California this past summer, the tides of history have slowly but steadily changed for the better in regard to ensuring long-denied civil rights to LGBT Americans.

In the state of West Virginia, however, it is still legal to fire, deny service to or evict someone based solely on their sexual orientation and/or gender identity.

This essentially means anyone who self-identifies or is socially identified as LGBT can be discriminated freely without any reprimand or consequence.

Take a second to think about that: what if at any given second you could be fired from your job, denied service at any place of business or end up homeless simply for loving someone?

Thankfully, there are organizations within the state that have been fighting tirelessly to change the laws and ensure that employment and housing rights are protected for all West Virginians. One of the premier organizations is Fairness West Virginia, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating LGBT West Virginians in regard to equality, housing and employment discrimination.

Revelers march down Fifth Avenue in the New York Gay Pride Parade on June 30, 2013, in New York City.

Fairness WV has estimated there are roughly 57,000 out and open LGBT residents within the state. However, even this does not include the many other LGBT residents who have not come out for fear of reprisal or any number of other reasons.

At any time, any of these 57,000 tax-paying citizens can be blatantly discriminated solely based on some-

one’s prejudice, political or religious opinions. These citizens include doctors, lawyers, police officers, service men and women, teachers, and every other profession imaginable. If things stay as they are we are–by default– going to continue to neglect the fact these citizens teach our children, protect our state, look after our health and contribute to the life of

our state’s economy.

Is this honestly how we repay our citizenry by telling them it’s okay to be a de facto second-class citizen simply because of a mere component of the person they are?

One shocking statistic reveals that 90 percent of the public assumes there are already laws in place protecting LGBT citizens; however, there are not any within the

state of West Virginia.

There is an overwhelming amount of support for the idea, but the state legislature still has not acted on the people’s will. This past spring, a state version of EHNDA (Employment Housing Non-Discrimination Act) was put on the floor but failed miserably.

Now is the time to a take a bold stand and demand our state legislators recog-

nize the fact LGBT West Virginians should be entitled to all of the same protections as any other West Virginian.

Furthermore, Senator Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is one of three Democratic senators nationally failing to show support of federal EHNDA, despite fellow Senator Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., fully endorsing the bill. This is coupled with the fact the State Democratic Party has fully endorsed LGBT equality as a whole; not to mention the fact the Democratic National Committee has fervently long-endorsed the matter.

Fairness WV has constantly advocated to change to state laws to ensure basic protection for LGBT West Virginians. Unfortunately, that alone is not enough. To truly have changes made on a policy level, it is going to take everyday West Virginians coming out and demanding a change to the status quo.

As students at the most visible institution in the state, you have an amazing opportunity to be a voice for change by contacting your legislators, especially Senator Manchin, in favor of support for the LGBT community.

To reach Senator Manchin’s office, call (202)-2243954 and express your support for non-discrimination policies. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Is getting a college degree the only path to success?

Benjamin Russell Guest columnist

Having a college education has become pretty essential to gaining opportunities after graduation. It is becoming much more difficult to find jobs because of the struggling economy and lack of opportunities available. Graduates are leaving college with multiple degrees and multiple minors and are still unable to find jobs.

The Baltimore Sun said recent graduates are armed with “degrees but little experience,” which can lead to a difficult time in the job market. This brings some to question whether a college degree (or degrees) is as important as it used to be.

Some of the most successful business men and women have been college dropouts. Take Steve Jobs, for example. He was a man who decided to figure himself out before trying to determine what he wanted out of life. Dropping out of college wasn’t a setback for him. He found a way to chase his passion and ended up revolutionizing the way peo-

ple communicate, accomplish tasks and process and interpret information.

Ralph Lauren founded his own company only a few years after dropping out of Baruch College.

While a student at Harvard, Bill Gates collaborated with Paul Allen after dropping out of school to pursue what would become Microsoft.

All of these examples have one thing in common: they all had a passion for what they did.

College is a place where faculty try to spark this passion within us all. Each person has something different that appeals to them at a very high level. No one is necessarily more intelligent than anyone else, there is just a higher aptitude to learn certain material than others.

Being good at biology, for instance, doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be able to understand organic chemistry. . The three men listed who dropped out of college became successful billionaires.

Is money synonymous with success? No. But these men all accomplished their dreams.

College isn’t a platform

to hold a person down, it is a runway waiting for take-off.

For some, going to a university is a process, and maybe the easiest way to get to where they are going. This may certainly be true, but there is a misconception that dropping out of college equals failure.

Granted, these three minds had to work excruciatingly long and harrowing hours in order to achieve their goals, but if you are passionate about something, then you should pursue it. People are beginning to choose science and math careers in order to try to be as financially stable as possible upon graduation.

The Wall Street Journal published an article this summer about students changing majors because of the unanticipated struggles that come along with them.

Do what you love. At the end of the day, that is all we have to look back on.

If you are doing something you love, then you will be much more successful and much happier than if you try to turn yourself into someone you aren’t.

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you will pull white rabbits out of a black hat – you are that lucky! You can transform any situation you choose to.

Your friends provide a lot of support. If you are single, you could attract a close-to-perfect suitor. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you benefit enormously from spending one-on-one time together. Learn to express your feelings more openly, too.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Choosing not to respond to someone’s power play will take a lot of self-discipline. You will see a solution, but the question remains: Do you want to work it out? Use your creativity when dealing with a situa-

tion that has too many potential outcomes. Tonight: As you like it.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You’ll want to distance yourself from a very controlling individual who creates a lot of pressure and tension wherever he or she goes. Break away from this person, and the results might make you smile. Suddenly, options will be dropped on your plate.

Tonight: Make it early.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You know what you want, and when obstacles appear one right after the other, you easily will find a way to bypass them. You will walk away from any situation that seems too contentious or difficult. You’ll also state your boundaries clearly.

Tonight: Find your friends.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH

Stay focused on what you want. You might be told that you seem to be oriented in one and only one direction. Make that OK. The only difference between you and others right now is that you are not as subtle as they are. Tonight: Join some friends for a drink and munchies.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You can be impulsive, especially when you are detached. When you feel so free, trouble easily will find you. Stay focused, look at your options and have an open discussion; you will be much happier as a result.

Tonight: A secret admirer could reveal him- or herself.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Deal with a partner or key persons in your life directly. Someone might cop an attitude, but it won’t be for long.

You will be able to bypass this per-

son’s standoffish behavior. In a meeting, you’ll see just how many people stand behind you. Tonight: Join friends first, then decide.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You’ll want to head in a different direction, but someone could exhibit a provocative and controlling attitude that might restrict you more than you realize. Be willing to listen to a partner, as his her or ideas might be more workable. Tonight: You will like what you encounter.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You see no other course but the one you currently are on. Your instincts are to throw yourself 100 percent into this chosen direction. A boss or someone you look up to probably will walk the other way. Listen to his or her reasons. Tonight: Avoid an argument, and keep it light.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH You’ll come up with novel approaches to difficult situations. You are likely to surprise those in your immediate circle. Someone you are dealing with could be an obstacle with his or her need for control. You will find a way to bypass this person. Tonight: Spice up your life.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You might not have intended to be a roadblock for a lot of people, but it appears as though your stubborn ways contribute to that perception.

You know why people will try to bypass you – it is easier that way. You might want to rethink your position.

Tonight: Head home early.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Stop and think before you engage a difficult person in conversation. Are

you really ready to end the workweek on a sour note? Be sure to test the waters before you launch into a discussion. Even if you don’t think this exchange can wait, it can. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Keep conversations moving. You might want to avoid a controlling person. Don’t worry – you’ll be so busy that you won’t cross paths unless you choose to. Be creative with your plans when considering that the weekend is just around the corner. Tonight: It could be a wild night!

Star Trek composer, Jay Chattaway, to visit School of Music

BY NOELLE HARRIS A&E WRITER

The West Virginia University School of Music is welcoming back WVU alumnus and Emmy Awardwinning “Star Trek” composer Jay Chattaway Monday-Wednesday for a variety of classes.

Chattaway will talk about his career in music and conduct a discussion with the audience members. The event, “In the Composer’s Own Words,” will be in the Bloch Learning and Performance Hall Monday at 8:15 p.m. and will be free and open to the public.

During the remainder of his visit to Morgantown, Chattaway will conduct classes in music business, music arrangement and music convocation, which will

be attended by many music students.

This is a great opportunity for students to learn about parts of the music production industry to which they do not have access.

“I think he will add awareness about what goes on behind the scenes – what goes into movie and television music,” said Keith Jackson, director of the School of Music.

Chattaway will also keep in touch with music students after he leaves to help them with their music projects and future careers by providing advice and guidance.

Chattaway, a native of Monongahela, Pa., began started composing music in middle school and studied composition and music education at WVU. He graduated in 1968 with a bachelor’s de-

gree and later with a master’s degree.

Chattaway is an internationally acclaimed composer who has more than 200 commissioned and published works, including 30 published jazz works and the “Star Trek” series. He received nine Emmy Award nominations for his work on “The Shark Chronicles” (1990), “Thirty Years of National Geographic” (1995) and “Star Trek.” He won an Emmy Award for a two-part episode of “Star Trek: Voyager” titled “Endgame.”

He also received four Grammy Award nominations for jazz and instrumental arranging and composing and four Gold Albums. To say he is an experienced composer is an understatement.

Chattaway recently donated the entire “Star Trek”

collection to the WVU College of Creative Arts, but the donation and classes taught

by Chattaway are just a small part of what he has given to the education field through the years. He wrote music

for the WVU Percussion Ensemble and published more than 100 works for the educational market.

Even though he has a very busy schedule, he has taken time to travel around the

world as a guest conductor.

Popular alternative rock and country band Deer Tick is travelling all the way from Providence, R.I., to take the stage at 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

Deer Tick was started by guitarist and singer-songwriter John McCauley in 2004 and has been making waves across the country and around the globe. The group is currently on an international tour to promote their upcoming release “Negativity” and is excited to stop in Morgantown.

“West Virginia is the last state in the lower 48 that we’ve never played,” said

bassist Chris Ryan. “(We’re) psyched to finally pop that cherry and psyched we get to play in West Virginia twice on this tour.”

The group will also play as part of Mountain Stage, West Virginia Public Broadcasting’s live radio show, Nov. 10 at the Creative Arts Center.

“Negativity” is set to release on Tuesday.

“The reason the record is called ‘Negativity’ is because one can think of the track listing as Negative One, Negative Two, Negative Three … The record is designed to work backward and forward, as -3 can function very similarly to 3 in an equation,” Ryan

said. “We’ve never tried that with any of our previous records.”

Touching on topics such as love, friendship and family, “Negativity” features some of Deer Tick’s most personal work. Popular singer-songwriter and McCauley’s friend Vanessa Carlton makes an appearance on the album for “In Our Time,” a duet between the two.

The group will also play a variety of other songs. Their covers, such as songs from Nirvana’s album “In Utero,” always fare well with fans.

“We’ll play some old songs, we’ll play some new songs, we’ll play some covers and we’ll shoot the sh-

A petite, blue-haired barista named Emily served up tall cups to the masses.

the audience. After a couple strums from his guitar, the night set off into a whirlwind of acoustic guitars, jokes and one lone mandolin.

Opening the night was Stackwell himself. Stackwell’s style is “old-time, down-home, funky, mojo, fingerpickin’, ragtime cosmic blues.”

“We don’t charge a cover,” Stackwell said. “So, we hope you get out there and buy some of our great Blue Moose products.”

A highlight of his performance was during a cover of a Beatles’ song when the audience joined in.

Johnathan Grailey entertained the audience with a short but sweet stand-up routine.

“I was driving down the road and saw a sign that said ‘Hidden Drive,’” he said.

“Not anymore.”

Matthew Thomas sang an ode to downtown Morgantown, which was a definite crowd-pleaser. Frequent customers of the establishment seemed to know the number by heart and sang along during the chorus.

With fall lurking around the corner, we’re putting away our flip-flops and shorts and replacing them with cool-weather staples.

According to Twitter, West Virginia University students are more than ready to make the change.

As the new semester gets underway, boots, scarves, sweaters, leggings, jeans and jackets are popping up around campus, and students are rocking these looks.

The key to maintaining a perfect fall wardrobe is mixing basics with eclectic accessories and knowing what to layer.

You can keep wearing your favorite tanks and tees by simply layering them with the right piece. A long, oversized cardigan pairs great with a summery tank, creating a casual-yet-stylish statement.

Looking to make a bold statement? Mix patterns with other patterns. For example, polka dots and stripes may sound like a terrible combination, but instead, it can create a style that proves your fashion sense is fearless. A polka dot tank top with a striped cardigan can look slightly less wild with a solid on the bottom.

If you’re feeling bold but are hesitant to mix patterns, put a loud pattern with a bright solid to create a look that is sure to turn heads.

Boots are obviously a staple item for fall that both

guys and girls need while walking the hilly WVU campus. For guys, a pair of Timberlands goes well with nearly every outfit. Girls should consider investing in a pair of brown or black combat boots, which can be paired with anything from jeans to leggings and from skirts to shorts with tights.

If you’re looking to splurge, a pair of Doc Martens boots can reinvent your entire style – for guys and girls.

While the weather is still somewhat warm, flats and slip-ons such as Toms can be the perfect fit for all the walking you’ll do between classes.

When it comes to accessories, go all out. By mixing random bangles together, you can create a carefree, chill look that is simple to throw together but seems as if it took you hours. With the right jewelry, such as a pair of long, dangling earrings, your look will be complete.

Also, the right bag can make a world of difference for an outfit. By investing in a large neutral tote bag, you can carry a few books to class while also making a fashion statement. One that can be worn cross-body is helpful for long treks to class.

Then again, you can never go wrong with a patterned or solid backpack, even if you are two-strappin’ it.

Still need to find your goto fashion staples for the season? Never fear. The possibilities in Morgantown are endless.

Thrifting has become a hobby of many around

campus, and Morgantown offers some of the best stores to do so. One shop in particular, Contemporary Consignment, features name-brand items customers bring in and is located on the Mileground.

Morgantown also offers a variety of fashion boutiques, and although they may be a little pricey, the styles inside are worth it.

Park & Madison, Altered Ego and Lavish keep the most up-to-date trends on hand at all times and are willing to help you find the perfect look.

If you’re looking for less expensive fashion, Forever 21 and TJ Maxx offer stylish pieces at a lower price than most boutiques in the area.

You can find nearly any item you’re looking for in these stores, although it may take awhile to sort through until you find a gem.

Gabriel Brothers is another go-to store if you’re looking for a bargain. This store offers last-season and undersold department store pieces at a much lower cost.

Staples can easily be found here, from denim jackets with leather sleeves to leggings in nearly every color.

Regardless of what you decide to wear this fall, make it your own. There’s nothing better than individual style, even if it makes no sense to anyone else.

To see more WVU students’ styles, be sure to check out the Mountaineer Fashion Mania feature in the Arts & Entertainment section every Tuesday and Thursday. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

The five-piece group, composed of McCauley, Ryan, guitarist Ian O’Neil, keyboardist Rob Crowell and drummer Dennis Ryan, plays a variety of music from folk to blues and country to indie rock.

Deer Tick also works on solo projects when they aren’t working together.

McCauley and Crowell recently finished recording another album with their other band, Diamond Rugs, and O’Neil has a solo project, Dirt Naps.

Chris and Dennis are also in the process of recording an unnamed

Brian Fair of Death Ray Vision headbangs with his unusually long dreadlocks.

BY HUNTER HOMISTEK A&E WRITER

Brian Fair sat alone in a corner, nestled between tilted stacks of black, padded banquet chairs and his band’s merchandise table.

Dreadlocks sprawled from his head like tangled, matted tentacles, tickling the floor from his seated position.

Customers filtered in and out from his booth – a $1 sticker sale here, a $10 tshirt there – leaving Fair to stew in his preshow, meditative state.

“There are definitely some days where you roll out of bed and the last thing you want to do is get on stage and scream,” Fair said. “But we do this because we love it. When you’re up there, all those bad feelings go away.”

Fair, the longtime vocalist of esteemed modern metal outfit Shadows Fall, made his appearance at Gator’s Lounge in Jeanette, Pa., Wednesday evening fronting his latest side project, Death Ray Vision.

With a group highlighted by Fair and Killswitch Engage bassist Mike D’Antonio, Death Ray Vision provides an outlet for these metal juggernauts to showcase their talents on

Mic

Continued from page 6 Sophia Blue was the most promising act of the evening. Performing her own work with only a guitar and a stunning voice. She sang with a voice similar to that of the popular duo, Tegan and Sara. The quirky 20-something singer has a powerful voice that commanded the attention of the entire cafe.

People sat up to take notice of the singer, who doubles as a barista during the day.

The audience seemed to enjoy every aspect of the evening.

“This was my first visit here,” said Alex Green. “I actually really enjoyed myself.

The show was great, but the best part was the cheesecake – best in town.”

Students should definitely check out the next event at the Blue Moose Cafe, Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. John Lilly will be performing.

a smaller, more intimate level.

“You get in a place like this, where there’s a smaller amount of people in a smaller environment, and it’s just perfect,” Fair said. “It’s awesome playing for crowds like this.”

Embodying his earlier message, Fair transformed from a tranquil and reserved concertgoer into a chaotic ball of wispy dreads and searing screams as Death Ray Vision launched into their set.

Powerful vocals overlaid tight, heavy guitars and frenetic drums, creating a sound that spanned several subgenres within the world of metal.

“We just had all these ideas that maybe didn’t mesh with our other bands or we couldn’t use for whatever reason,” Fair said. “This is our way to get those ideas out there.”

Opening for Death Ray Vision were New York hardcore legends Sworn Enemy, Boston’s Acaro, and a handful of local groups, including Uniontown’s Life Worth Sacrifice and Morgantown’s Disillusion Effect.

“We know we have to bring it at a show like this where there are major stars in the building,” said Disil-

lusion Effect vocalist Chris Rabideau. “Shows like this are a huge opportunity for us, and we don’t intend to waste our chances.”

Fair paused on stage to speak of the importance of local music to any community.

“I want you guys to take a moment and appreciate all of the local bands that came out tonight,” Fair said. “Without them, the entire musical community collapses; it’s gone.”

For Fair, this work with Death Ray Vision exemplifies his passion and his inability to rest during a period of musical inspiration. After concluding the group’s current monthlong tour, Fair will retake command of Shadows Fall, where he will perform throughout the fall tour season.

And while the music business is not always lucrative, it always offers rewards in deeper and more personal ways.

“The industry is up, it’s down – that’s always changing, and that’s hard to deal with,” Fair said.

“But music, the process … That never gets old, it never feels like your effort is for nothing – that never changes.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Wednesday evening saw yet another great show at 123 Pleasant Street.

This show was headlined

by True Widow, a stonermetal trio hailing from Dallas.

Opening for True Widow were two local rock bands from Morgantown, Ghost House and Sleepwalker.

The night carried a laid back but hard-rock atmosphere with energy that complemented the weeknight show.

The young alternativemetalcore hybrid band Ghost House opened the show, performing an excellent selection of original songs. Technical instrumental breakdowns worked well with the singer’s tortured and emotional lyrics.

“I came from a musical family; I was surrounded by it,” said frontman Ethan Schnell after the set.

All of the band members

said they get along great, and this carried over to their performance on stage. Every musician was in sync, creating a tight and focused sound.

Sleepwalker was the second band of the evening.

The Morgantown-based group featured more relaxed, grunge-like vocals. This five-man band’s style came off as a healthy mix of modern rock and alternative.

Singer Tyler Grady described their sound as an “organic style, a product of each of our backgrounds.”

Their songs were varied and always great to jam to.

Having multiple guitarists allowed Sleepwalker to create some pretty heavy and complex sounds.

The band’s passion for performing live added to what made them great.

“It’s a chance to give life to songs that are stagnant on a CD,” Grady said.

The headlining band of the evening, True Widow, stole the show. They were skilled at playing a heavy

yet groovy sound that epitomizes the unique genre of “stoner metal.”

The guitar was undoubtably rock, but the bass was cranked up, and its midtempo, bluesy sound created an incredible effect.

True Widow performed so well, in fact, they were stopped from leaving the stage by the crowd’s chant of “One more song!” – a chant to which they happily obliged.

This show was quite a success, attracting an unusually large crowd for a Wednesday night. The bands matched the crowd’s energy well, keeping everyone in a comfortable state between relaxation and headbanging.

Bryan Cranston to star in upcoming film NEW YORK (AP) — Bryan Cranston will star as blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo in a film that’s to be his first after wrapping “Breaking Bad.” A publicist for Cranston confirmed the casting Thursday. The film, “Trumbo,” will be directed by “Meet the Parents” filmmaker Jay Roach from a script by John McNamara.

As a member of the Communist Par ty, Trumbo was among the Hollywood 10: screenwriters and directors

blacklisted in 1947 after refusing to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Trumbo won two Oscars, one for the script to “The Brave One,” written under the name Robert Rich, and another awarded posthumously for “Roman Holiday.”

Cranston also stars in the upcoming “Godzilla,” due out in May. The 57-year-old actor is nominated for an Emmy for his performance in “Breaking Bad” at Sunday’s awards.

Comedian Bill Burr talks to the audience about his surprising experience in West Virginia at the Creative Arts Center for a stand-up special Thursday.

BY HUNTER HOMISTEK A&E WRITER

Celebrated comedian Bill Burr animated the West Virginia University Creative Art Center’s Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre Thursday night with his critical and hilarious brand of comedy.

A veteran of film, standup comedy and television, Burr showcased his wellrounded repertoire for the Mountain State crowd, traversing numerous topics

with ease.

As he seamlessly transitioned from religion to paranormal activity to adoption to our innate fears as humans, Burr sent the Morgantown crowd into a frenzied fit of laughter for his set’s duration.

He also took time to comment on West Virginia’s unflattering reputation as it is perceived by the rest of the country. Saying he expected “zombies and meth heads,” Burr instead

praised West Virginia for its rolling landscape and untainted countryside, garnering a roar of appreciation from the crowd.

In addition to this homecrowd approval, Burr bolstered his performance by employing a conversational, riffing approach.

Lauded for his ability to improvise on stage, Burr exhibited this talent in full form Thursday, switching from topic to topic and rarely staying focused on

one subject for more than a few minutes.

Because of this, everything he said felt honest and genuine from the way it applied to his life and his experiences, making the delivery more effective.

A second technique that benefited Burr’s set was his dedication to acting, an area which he has showcased recently in Paul Feig’s “The Heat” and on AMC’s “Breaking Bad.” Whereas many stand-up

comics simply spew jokes (and possibly flap their arms a bit), Burr staged entire scenes where he would converse with imaginary characters or flaunt himself as the subject of his joke.

Like his commitment to improv, this decision to set the scene with characters brought his jokes to life, drawing in the audience and bringing more energy and excitement to each story he told.

With a mixed bag of ever-

green and hot-button topics, Burr’s set offered something for everybody inside the packed Lyell B. Clay Theatre. A gut-busting introspective journey, his act was equal parts intimate and ludicrous, resulting in a special performance for the WVU crowd.

The Mickey Hart Band jams, impresses MET

The Mickey Hart Band dominates the stage at The Metropolitan Theatre Thursday night.

Josh Ewers a&E Writer

Grateful Dead percussionist Mickey Hart’s Mickey Hart Band put on an excellent show Thursday evening at the Metropolitan Theatre.

Earlier that evening, before the performance even started, there was some fun going on outside the theater. A drum circle had gathered and was gracing the area with their tribal beats to entertain the gathering masses and show their support for Hart. It was a fitting precursor for an evening of musical bliss that featured percussion as the central theme.

Opening for The Mickey Hart Band was Tea Lea Trio, who went on around 7 p.m.

This three-piece outfit consisted of a keys player, a bassist and a drummer, who all know how to put on a truly sensual performance.

Sitting down the whole time, they played an expansively paced brand of soft rock with a decidedly

experimental edge, but was still rife with emotion.

The keys were the dominant instrument in this group. Keyboardist Trevor Garrod brought rolling, cascading riffs and dexterous melodies in great supply. Even more impressive was the fact he played these parts while delivering very nice, smooth, lead vocals.

To accent those lines, bassist Reed Mathis served up not only thick bass patterns but also incorporated some very high register, almost lead-guitar-like sounds, which faded in and out.

Drummer Cochrane McMillan played a primarily groove-based style with his own personal flair, whirling his arms and getting into the rhythmic motions he was making. Most of the time their songs were minimalist in nature, but they built up to moments of beautiful dissonance that brought to mind the more intense moments created by bands like Explosions in the Sky. When it came time for the main event, there was a

noticeable anticipation that gripped the room. When the Mickey Hart Band stepped on stage, they came in numbers, bringing a small horde of musicians.

An eight-piece group that included Grammy and Tony Award winners, instruments of all kinds were gathered on the stage – guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, percussion instruments and mics.

When they began to play, things started out very atmospheric and ethereal.

Slowly, the music began to shape. As the whole picture became clear, it showed a palette of musical nuances that were beautifully interwoven.

Hart’s own thudding percussion impacts were the force and weight behind the music. However, two very talented, soulful vocalists delivered excellent harmonies that stood out among the instrumentals.

The result was groove-conscious music that was as relaxing as it was ensnaring.

The songs were more mini-symphonies than songs, as they developed

Erin Irwin/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

slowly and deliberately throughout a longer period of time, as though they had been written with an eye on detail. It was fitting the ERIN IRWIN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM concert was taking place in a theater, because each Mickey Hart plays the drums during the performance. song felt like the band was telling a musical story, despite having few wonderfully simplistic sing-along choruses.

As the music reached a new height of danceability, the crowd – many of them much older than your average WVU student – poured into the aisles in droves. Crowd participation was at a very high level, likely due to the number of very seasoned concert attendees, who knew how to have a good time at a show.

Hart himself was in on the action, waving his arms to the music in flowing motions while jamming in the pocket with the kit drummer.

Leave it to a member of Grateful Dead to turn a sitdown show into a free-spirited dance-off.

West Virginia brings 7-game win streak over Maryland into Saturday’s rivalry game in Baltimore by kevin hooker sports writer

West Virginia quarterback Ford Childress will get the starting nod again Saturday as the Mountaineers take on nonconference opponent Maryland at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

The Mountaineers have won seven straight games against Maryland and are 26-21-2 all-time. In September 2012, West Virginia beat the Terrapins 31-21 in Morgantown at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Maryland will look to quarterback C.J. Brown to continue his hot start to the sea-

son. In three games, Brown has six touchdowns and 833 passing yards, leading in both categories in the ACC. He sat out all of 2012 with a knee injury.

Sophomore wide receiver Stefon Diggs has 387 receiving yards with three touchdowns and has drawn comparisons to former WVU wide receiver Tavon Austin.

“He’s proven to have big play potential,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “He probably has more downfield potential than Tavon did.”

After finishing 4-8 in 2012, the Terrapins currently stand at 3-0 and have outscored

their opponents by a combined 81 points. “(Brown) brings a bunch of balance to their offense,” Holgorsen said in his Tuesday weekly press conference.

“He’s athletic, but he’s got athletic guys around him, as well.

They want to be balanced in the run and the pass.”

Saturday, redshirt freshman Ford Childress made his collegiate debut as the Mountaineers blew out Georgia State 41-7. Childress went 25-41 for 359 yards and three touchdowns.

“I thought his body language was good. I thought he handed the huddle pretty good,” Holgorsen said. “I

thought he did a good job of just being in the game, and that’s all we’re looking for.”

Childress connected with freshman wide receiver Daikiel Shorts five times for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

“Ford was number three (on the depth chart), but he kept his head in it,” Holgorsen said. “He worked hard, and when we called his number, he took advantage of the opportunity that was given to him.”

Charles Sims also had an impressive day, racking up 116 yards and a touchdown.

Saturday’s game will have more of an NFL-like atmosphere, and Holgorsen said

he’s excited about the opportunity to play on a different field.

“It’s important to our administration, and it’s important to our fan base ... it’s important for our recruiting,” Holgerson said. “I’m looking forward to playing at Ravens Stadium in front of a good crowd and good atmosphere. It’ll be good for both WVU and Maryland.”

While the Terrapins are off to good start this season, their competition has been weak.

Maryland racked up nearly 600 yards in its Week 2 victory against Old Dominion.

“Our guys are familiar with Maryland and they’re excited

to play them,” Holgorsen said.

“They’re a different team than they were last year. You can see offensively that it’s just a different unit.”

The Mountaineers will look to slow down an offense that ranks No. 21 in rushing yards per game. In addition to his passing, the 6-foot-3 Brown can also run the ball.

His five rushing touchdowns are tied for the most in the ACC, and his 257 yards are third-best.

The game against the Terrapins is the last nonconference game for the Mountaineers this season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU offense still working out kinks in passing game by connor murray associate sports editor

For the first time this season, West Virginia amassed more than 300 yards through the air Saturday against Georgia State.

“There’s always room to grow, always room for improvement,” said senior wide receiver Ivan McCartney.

“We’re just going to go out there day by day and keep improving.”

McCartney established himself as a deep threat for redshirt freshman quarterback Ford Childress, catching two passes for 66 yards and a touchdown against Georgia

State.

As the season progresses, West Virginia’s receiving corps has gotten better. Nine different receivers caught passes against Georgia State and McCartney, K.J. Meyers, Ronald Carswell and Daikiel Shorts all had more than 60 yards receiving on the day.

“It’s slowly getting better.

We had some good things happen. (McCartney) made a play down the field which was a positive,” said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson.

West Virginia will look to carry that momentum into Saturday’s rivalry game with Maryland.

The Terrapins rank No.7 in

the ACC in passing defense through three games, allowing an average of 199.7 yards through the air per game.

Two starting Terrapin cornerbacks, Dexter McDougle and Jeremiah Johnson, are injured. West Virginia’s receivers will have an opportunity to take advantage of Maryland’s backups.

“It’s just another secondary we have to face. All we do is watch coverages. We’re not really worried about the player in front of us,” said wide receiver K.J. Myers.

After being held without a reception in West Virginia’s 16-7 loss to Oklahoma and losing his starting position,

Myers rebounded against Georgia State, catching six passes for 64 yards against Georgia State.

“It is tough going from starting to being the second man, but I just remain positive and focus on whenever I am in the game. When I do get the opportunity, I’m going to take advantage of it,” Myers said.

In Childress’ first collegiate start, Myers may have established himself as a trustworthy target.

“Hopefully I gained his trust from last game. If he gets in a hole or he gets in a tight situation, and he needs a ‘goto’ hopefully he brings the ball

to me,” Myers said.

As West Virginia moves forward with Childress leading the way, coming together as an offensive unit is important to increasing production through the air and overall.

“I think we need to keep playing and keep being positive and getting more experience together,” Myers said.

“Everybody’s going to buy in, and this thing is going to get rolling pretty fast here.”

Considering Georgia State is a team in its first year at the FBS level, the Childressled West Virginia offense will see its first true test against Maryland.

While the Terrapins may

have health issues in the secondary, they have still been able to pressure opposing quarterbacks and lead the nation with 14 sacks in three games.

For Childress and the receiving corps to continue building their chemistry, the West Virginia offensive line will have to give its quarterback time to read the defense and make good decisions.

“I like my O-line. They’ll block for me, I hope. We worked on their blitzes a lot, and hopefully (the offensive line) will be able to pick it up,” Childress said. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WVU looks to bounce back against Michigan Saturday by joe mitchin sports writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team is expecting Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium to provide a warm welcome Saturday night as they begin a five-game home stand. The Mountaineers will host Michigan in another difficult nonconference tilt.

WVU comes into the weekend at 3-2-1 following its 1-0 loss Sunday night against then-No. 12 St. John’s. WVU outshot the Red Storm and held the bulk of the possession but

was unable to find the back of the net. Focus now turns to a 1-1-2 Michigan team that currently owns a very deceiving record.

The Wolverines’ lone victory came on opening night when they defeated Loyola-Chicago. Michigan then went on to draw its next two matches against Bowling Green and South Florida before losing to Marquette and No. 1 Notre Dame.

“This is just another one in a long list of some very, very difficult games,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc. “Michigan is a

well-coached team. Michigan is a program that’s going to be very difficult to breakdown and difficult to beat, but I certainly think we’re capable of getting a result.”

Michigan is led by one of the top midfielders in the country in Fabio Pereira.

The senior has one goal this season and 12 for his career. Pereira was featured on TopDrawerSoccer’s preseason Starting XI team. T.J. VanSlooten is the current goal leader for the Wolverines with three, while midfielder Tyler Arnone has two as-

sists in 2013 after posting a five-goal, five-assist 2012 campaign.

West Virginia played just three of its six matches at home this season, but WVU made sure they counted. The Mountaineers are 2-0-1 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium with wins over Central Connecticut and Wright State. Senior forward Jay Williams is excited to be back in town.

“It feels good,” he said.

“We had some tough opponents on the road, but it gives us some motivation to come back home and do well.”

Saturday will mark the first meeting between the two schools. However, LeBlanc and Michigan head coach Chaka Daley have crossed paths before.

Daley spent 12 seasons at Providence before beginning his Michigan career last season. He has played WVU 11 times in his career dating back to 2000. Most recently, Daley’s Providence team beat WVU 2-1 in Morgantown.

LeBlanc is looking forward to hosting such a marquee matchup against the Wolverines. He said the growth of the program

helped schedule these types of games in Morgantown but stresses the importance of displaying West Virginia’s product to visitors.

“Home field is only what you make it,” LeBlanc said.

“If it’s going to be a home field advantage, you need to have the support of your fans and you need to play well.”

West Virginia hosts Michigan Saturday with the kickoff set for 7 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers to finish nonconference slate this weekend by meghan carr sports writer

The West Virginia University women’s soccer team hopes to redeem themselves following a loss to Kentucky when they face Richmond and Wright State in Morgantown this weekend.

The Mountaineers will compete against Richmond

tonight at 7 in Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium and Wright State Sunday at 1 p.m.

After Sunday’s disappointing loss to Kentucky, the Mountaineers say they can’t wait to be back on the field.

“I can count the minutes.

I can count the hours. I can count the days between the game and the next practice,

and the loss and the next game,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown.

These will be the final nonconference games for the Mountaineers, and their last home weekend before they travel to Oklahoma State to open Big 12 Conference play.

The team realizes they must continue to carry on

after a lot of adversity this season.

“We don’t lose two games in a row. That is not West Virginia soccer,” said sophomore defender Cari Price.

The loss of three key players in the midfield left IzzoBrown scrambling to find capable replacements.

“When you compete, you compete everyday for positions, and I think there have been some small margins of error that have kept some people off the field,” she said.

Izzo-Brown said her girls would be ready to step up and take over the necessary positions.

The Mountaineers’ lack of depth will put them at a disadvantage in the Big 12 this season, but Izzo–Brown said she is confident her team will stand tough.

“I think everybody understands this is a different type of year for us, and it doesn’t mean it can’t be a championship year,” she said.

It’s been several years since the Mountaineers have faced Richmond, and Izzo-Brown said she’s looking forward to seeing a familiar face on the opposite sideline.

“You know, I think Richmond is a very good team,” she said. “My thoughts right now are whenever that ball is rolled out anything can happen. They have a great tradition of soccer. I know Peter (Albright) has been there for a long time and he’s a great coach. We’re going to have a battle Friday, no question about it.”

Price and Ashley Lawrence will be the new leaders in the midfield, and Price

talked about how it feels to be asked to do so much early on.

“It’s actually more of an excitement than nerves.

Midfield is a demanding position because you are expected to play offense and defense. You have to be able to transition between both the defense and offense.”

Richmond is coming into this weekend with a 2-4-2 record on the season. It finished last weekend with a win over Campbell and tied with Maine. Its other win this season came against Old Dominion Aug. 25.

Wright State has a 2-3-3 record so far this season. Its two wins came against Nevada and Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia set to complete in final tournament before conference play by jon fehrens sports writer

After suffering their first loss of the season, the West Virginia University volleyball team will look to rebound at the Gold & Blue Players Challenge Friday at the WVU Coliseum. This Players Challenge will be the last tournament in which WVU competes before conference play begins.

“This will be our fourth and final tournament; it’s the last weekend for most teams before they hit conference play,” said head coach Jill Kramer. “There are some things you want to see from your team before they hit conference play.”

After two days of rest following the loss to Duquesne, WVU will host Liberty, Georgetown and UMBC today and Sunday as they try to get back to their winning ways.

“This will be a challenging tournament. Liberty, year in and year out, is always competing for its conference championship. They

are very well coached, and just like us, they are returning a lot of players from last year,” Kramer said. “Their record is deceiving; they haven’t had a ton of wins but have played a tough preseason schedule.

“We haven’t played Georgetown since we left the Big East, so it will be fun facing them again, and UMBC is always well coached.”

In the days after the loss, Kramer has moved defensive specialist Jordan Lee into the starting rotation. Lee had career highs with two assists and two points against the Dukes Tuesday night.

“Jordan has been practicing really well, she is communicating really well and (has) been taking care of all the easy things in practice,” Kramer said.

With Lee now moved into the starting lineup, Kramer has done all the fine-tuning she needs to do from a coaching standpoint. The rest is now up to her team.

Junior middle blocker Evyn McCoy, who is currently No. 9 in the

Big 12 Conference for blocks per set, and sophomore libero Anna Panagiotakopoulos are players who know what is expected from them after suffering a loss. “(Kramer) wanted us to come back and really compete and practice yesterday, and that’s exactly what we did. The atmosphere in practice yesterday really set the tone for this weekend,” Panagiotakopoulos said.

“We needed to come back and refocus on some things, and that’s exactly what we did. We sat down and watched film and talked about some of things we need to work (on) and come into practice to work on them,” McCoy said.

The Mountaineers will look to go 4-0 in tournaments this season as they take on Liberty today at 1 p.m. and Georgetown at 6:30 p.m.

The evening match has been designated Dollar Day, so admission and select concession stand items are only $1. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

When ESPN announced the annual WVU Gold Rush game was going to be a noon kickoff, groans and outrage were more than just audible – they were deafening. The Mountaineers, who will kickoff at 3:30 p.m.

Saturday against Maryland, will play their third noon kickoff of the season next week. Fans hate it, but television loves it and so do I. What’s the big deal with the time of the game anyway? Any Mountaineer fan with access to a ticket would be inside Milan Puskar Stadium for kickoff. That’s the hope, at least. Let’s be honest – we don’t support noon kickoffs because of the alarm clock that rings early in the morning and the “activities” before getting to the stadium.

Sure, there’s less time to get prepared for the big game against Oklahoma State, or any opponent for that matter, when the game starts at noon. However, the time of the game has never prevented any Morgantown game day tradition.

The Blue Lot was packed by 9 a.m. when West Virginia took on Georgia State. Tailgaters and fans alike were out and about. The town was alive. In fact, if you didn’t have a watch, you wouldn’t even be able to guess what time it was.

So, what’s the problem?

If fans are going to con-

tinue to do the same thing at 10 a.m. that they would at 2 p.m. or later, then why are noon kickoffs so hated?

Think about it, the game begins on a brisk autumn morning and ends when the sun gets hot and folks get tired from waking up early. The entire afternoon and evening remains open for whatever fans wish to do.

Students are often at the very center of the noon kickoff debate. It seems they take their sweet time to get inside the stadium.

Looking back at the first two noon games, though, students had a massive presence at both the William & Mary and Georgia State games. Is Oklahoma State, a top-10 ranked opponent, really going to be an issue?

Then there’s TV. The Big 12 Conference loves WVU in the noon television slot because it is the only league member sitting in the Eastern time zone. I believe the old saying goes, “time is money.” In this case, that is absolutely true.

Noon kickoffs don’t hinder the game day atmosphere in Morgantown, the attendance figures or the revenue from television.

Why exactly do we dislike these again?

Embrace the early kickoff. Celebrate the ringing of your alarm clock. Football season is a precious thing – you only get so many opportunities to partake each year. Rise and shine, West Virginia. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
