Tobacco ban begins despite petition

by Carlee lammers & celeste lantz DA STAFF

Despite the effort by petitioners, West Virginia University enacted its tobacco free policy Monday.

Policy 57 states that no person will be permitted to use any tobacco product on the WVU campus. The policy defines campus as any “property controlled by WVU and under the jurisdiction of the West Virginia University Board of Governors, which includes any premises owned,

operated, leased or occupied

by WVU” or “any street, road or thoroughfare immediately adjacent to or passing through WVU owned property.”

Due to the comprehensive nature of the ban – any product derived from tobacco including nicotine patches, chewing tobacco and similar products on any property touching WVU campus – two men attempted to petition the ban.

Dennis Cole, a WVU research assistant, and Kyle Gregory, a WVU biology student, filed a suit against the University for its “dis-

Former wide receiver to host wine event for Cystic Fibrosis

By Megan Calderado staff writer

Wesley Lyons, a former Pittsburgh Steeler, will host a wine tasting and auction in Pittsburgh to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation July 13.

The event will take place at the Pittsburgh Winery from 7-10 p.m. and it will include wine, desserts, live music and an auction of several unique items. All proceeds will go directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and their search for a cure.

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that clogs the lungs and can lead to serious lung infections. It also affects the digestive system as it stops natural enzymes from breaking down food.

“If you like live music and a nice evening out, then it’ll be a good place to be,” Lyons said.

Lyons was recently named of one of “Pittsburgh’s 50 Finest,” and he said he feels grateful the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has given him the opportunity to host the event.

“I was just honored; I thought it was an honor to be recognized for what I’ve been doing in the community – whether it’s visiting schools or giving motivational speeches – and by such a great foundation,” Lyons

criminatory” policy.

During a Monday preliminary hearing, Cole and Gregory’s lawyer Todd Phillips said the two filed a suit on the grounds Policy 57 would cause them both irreparable harm should they be either fired or expelled as a result of being caught using a tobacco product on campus.

The petition states the policy itself is discriminatory and against West Virginia state constitution, asserting that no employee may be discriminated

said.

Lyons said prior to working with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, he didn’t know anyone who was directly affected by the disease. However, throughout the course of the year he’s met many people around the organization who have had their lives changed by the disease.

“It seems like once you’re a part of something like this, people start coming out of the woodwork. It’s like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know it was such a deadly disease’ – you just start seeing more and more people affected by it,” Lyons said.

The average life expectancy for someone living with cystic fibrosis is in the late 30s.

Lyons hopes the fundraiser is a fun celebration, and helps the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation work toward finding a cure.

“I’m just trying to make it a nice evening out for Pittsburgh. It’s something different for the city, and it can be fun for a lot of different people,” Lyons said. “A lot of people from a lot of different backgrounds are coming – it’s definitely a nice group of people – old and young too!”

Bartini opens in Suncrest Towne Centre, aims to provide high-end bar experience

By Shelby Toompas Staff writer

Happy hour just got a whole lot happier.

Morgantown’s newest addition to the Suncrest Towne Centre is turning heads and pouring some of the most unique drinks in the area.

As the only one in the state, the Bartini brings a classy and highend atmosphere to town.

“This is a place where the older crowd can come and enjoy a good time,” said Chris Brown, Bartini’s service manager. “Individuals never had anything on this side of town to go to, and now they do.”

Upon entering the Bartini, individuals may feel like they are no longer in Morgantown.

After its June 27 soft opening, the Bartini continues to bring in live bands and offer its guests a special variety of appetizers and martinis.

“The most popular drinks are probably our raspberry pop rocks martini, because we actually put pop rocks around the rim of the glass, and our cake batter martini, which tastes just like cake with sprinkles in it and around the rim,” said Megan Barnes, junior journalism student at WVU and Bartini waitress.

“Our most unique appetizer would definitely be our grilled Mac n’ cheese tomato soup shots, which is literally Mac n’ cheese on a pretzel bread and four shot glasses of tomato soup.”

With three full bars serving a great selection of alcohol, a heated patio, VIP rooms and a stage located behind the main bar, this classy lounge hopes to keep bringing in an eclectic crowd.

“The atmosphere is very fast paced and high volume at night and a little more relaxed during the day,” Barnes said. “We’re seeing a

WVU students, alumnae compete for Miss West Virginia

By Lacey Palmer A&E Editor

There’s more beneath the beauty.

At least that’s what several West Virginia University alumnae and current students are working to prove as they vie for the title of Miss West Virginia.

Originally from Martinsburg, W.Va., Miss Eastern Panhandle Maggie Power has been competing in the Miss West Virginia pageant for the past three years. In her fourth year competing in the pageant, she admits to being much more relaxed.

“I think it comes from being one of the older girls comMel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM peting,” Power said. “You defMiss West Virginia participants and WVU students Chelsea Malone and Makayla initely get more comfortable Lewis walk in a group number. with yourself and the compe-

tition as you mature.”

Now a graduate student at WVU, Power has lived in Morgantown for the past five years. Power began competing with the organization during her freshman year of college.

“In Martinsburg, the Miss Berkley County pageant is fairly popular, and I had grown up dancing, so I pretty much signed up on a whim the first time, competed in my prom dress and shockingly won,” Power said. “I came to Miss West Virginia, had a blast and have been competing ever since.”

Her platform for this year’s competition is “Population Solution,” which is focused on environmental awareness through the “reduce, reuse, recycle” technique.

Miss Rhododendron Jackie Riggleman, originally from Hardy County, recently graduated with a degree in advertising from WVU and is entering the sports management graduate program this fall.

Riggleman began competing with the Miss West Virginia organization at the age of 14 in the Outstanding Teen division.

“What got me interested in the organization was the platform aspect, where you have a cause you work toward, and mine is character education,” Riggleman said.

“I’ve actually developed my own character education curriculum that I could take into elementary, middle and high schools to speak about respect, responsibility, honesty, caring and citizenship.”

WVU reacts to recent DOMA ruling

By Ashley Tennant

this is a major step forward for LGBT Americans seeking equal rights under federal law.

“Basically, we had two systems of marriage,” he said. “(So) it’s a really big deal for equal treatment for LGBT Americans.”

Crichlow said while the downfall of DOMA is seen as a victory, there are still obstacles to overcome.

Same-sex couples who live in the 13 states that recognize their marriages are now able to obtain benefits that come with marriage including health insurance, inheritance, tax cuts, etc.

“The key point is the equal treatment under the law. This will not have an effect on states that do not already have same-sex marriage legal,” he said. “It’s really up to the states to do what they want.”

For now, Crichlow said, it’s solely the state’s issue, with the federal government not being allowed to differentiate between

same-sex and opposite-sex couples.

Atiba Ellis, associate professor in the WVU College of Law, said that in his opinion, Section 3 of DOMA was virtually impossible to defend in terms of its constitutionality. He said it clearly created two classes of people – those who engage in a marriage of one man and one woman and those who wanted a same-sex marriage.

“As the majority of the court found, that created unequal marriages for people who were married in states that recognized samesex marriage,” Ellis said. “It prevented them from getting the benefits of federal law that go to married people.

“Now, of course, there are several big questions left open in the DOMA opinion, which are likely to be litigated down the road.”

Ellis said another very important part of DOMA plainly states that a state

more mature group of individuals so far, but there is still a small group of younger people that are enjoying it just the same.”

Since the Bartini acts as a traditional night club, individuals must be 21 to enter.

“We are still working kinks out, but we are anxious for more students to come back in the fall as well,” Brown

said.

Bartini will host different bands each Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

“We want to give something to Morgantown that they don’t have,” said Brown.

“We want to be a great bar for all ages.”

Bartini hopes to not only bring in more individuals but to offer fun activities this fall.

“I think this is just what Morgantown needed,” Barnes said.

“It allows an older group to have a place to go without

having to go downtown where the majority of the bars are filled with college students.

“However, students can have just as much fun at the Bartini as well.”

The Bartini is open Tuesday-Thursday from 4 p.m.– 12 a.m. and Friday-Saturday from 4 p.m.–3 a.m.

The United States Supreme Court ruled in Windsor v. United States that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional on June 26.

DOMA was a 1996 law that denied legally married same-sex couples many of the benefits opposite-sex couples receive.

Due to this landmark ruling same-sex couples will no longer be discriminated against at the federal level; however, they will not be able to obtain all the same marital benefits due to state marriage bans.

While many believe this is an enormous victory for the LGBT community, there are still many obstacles to overcome on both the state and federal level.

Scott Crichlow, chair of the Department of Political Science at West Virginia University, said he believes

Along with the wine tasting, many unique items will be auctioned off to guests. Some of these items include artwork from Lyons’ former Pittsburgh Steelers teammate, Baron Batch, as well as personal tour of the West Virginia University football facilities given by Lyons.

so, until this year.

“I’ve been waiting to compete in this for the past five years, but I was always busy with summer school or travelling, but I finally had an opening to compete,” McLaughlin said.

“There are so many different reasons I’m competing; it’s for scholarships, it’s for getting the chance to perform on stage, as my talent is piano, and it’s also sort of a career move for me.

“If I were to win, I would be able to travel and teach nutrition to elementary schools all across the state.”

McLaughlin’s platform is “Food Matters – from Garden to Table.”

“I have a lot of experience with education and nutrition, and I believe it’s something we really need in the state of West Virginia,” McLaughlin said.

Continued from page 1 against for using a tobacco product.

A representative from WVU fired back, claiming the University wasn’t given enough time to respond to the petition and the court hearing. According to state law, a party is allowed 60 days to respond to an action.

The representative from WVU also argued Cole and Gregory didn’t have a solid reason behind filing the suit on such short notice.

She also did not believe the two were able to prove likelihood of irreparable harm.

Therefore, WVU suggested the suit be dropped.

“WVU believes the plaintiffs don’t have the grounds to file this claim. Policy 57 was announced in June 2012, over a year ago. The plaintiffs and all of the public has had a great deal of notice before this policy went into effect,” WVU’s representative said.

“A great deal of time has passed and even before Policy 57 was enacted, there was a lot of input on the matter from the community and WVU.” The WVU representative said the Health Sciences campus, on which both plaintiffs worked, had a tobacco free policy for three years before Policy 57 was enacted and obviously no irreparable harm was done to either one in that time.

Phillips, legal counsel for Cole and Gregory, claimed according to a section of the policy, Cole and Gregory could both face dismissal or expulsion for something as arbitrary as smoking a cigarette in their cars driving down Beechurst, 705 or even the Rail Trail.

Mo n d a y evening, McLaughlin won the preliminary swimsuit competition, much to her surprise.

“I was honestly shocked to win swimsuit, but very excited at the same time,” McLaughlin said. “I’m having so much fun so far. All the girls are so nice, and I’m making so many friends.”

McLaughlin admits the pageant isn’t exactly what she expected in that aspect.

“You’d think pageants were very competitive back stage but we’re all really helpful and friendly backstage, and every girl has a chance to win and do well,” McLaughlin said.

Power said she too believes the atmosphere is much more laid back than it is competitive.

Although the competition gives the girls the ability to showcase their beauty on stage in beautiful gowns and flattering swimsuits, that’s not the aspect the girls said they enjoy the most.

can choose whether or not to recognize same-sex marriages from other states.

“Under the basic law, in the Constitution, it says that each state has to give complete legal recognition to the actions of other states; this is the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution,” Ellis said.

“What’s important here is that the court dodged the opportunity to rule on the constitutionality of samesex marriage itself,” he said.

“That will happen probably at some other point, probably in the context of a samesex couple from one state trying to obtain rights from another state and that state denying them.”

Daniel Brewster, a sociology and anthropology professor at WVU, said that he had hoped for a bigger step.

However, he felt that Justice Ginsburg had recently made some interesting statements about the Roe v. Wade case, and it allowed him a bet-

ter understanding of why the court wouldn’t take the big step to order marriage equality throughout the country.

“The opinion of the court was pretty much what I expected; I think the 5-4 vote speaks to political affiliation,” Brewster said. “It’s disappointing to me that members of the dissenting opinion position such a complete disregard for the 14th Amendment, but the ruling definitely gives us hope for full equality.”

Brewster said the discrimination that the LGBT individuals face in society today is a clear infringement on 5th and 14th Amendment rights.

“I know that the same people who cry foul over the 1st and 2nd Amendment issues are the ones who want to take away the rights afforded by the 5th and 14th Amendments,” Brewster said.

“I think in the future, we will see a grow-

Bartini offers indoor and outdoor seating for patrons to enjoy themselves.

“We have a 10-minute private interview with a panel of seven judges, and that’s my favorite part, because it’s where they really get to know you,” McLaughlin said.

“A lot of people don’t realize that pageants aren’t just what you’re seeing on stage when you’re in a pretty gown; it’s a lot more about your speaking ability and what you have to offer and what sort of plan you have if you’re chosen as the winner to travel to the schools across the state.”

Riggleman said she also enjoys the interview portion the most, as she learns a little more about the judges and teaches them a little more about herself.

“It’s very much that intimate aspect of competition which is most important, because that’s what Miss West Virginia will be doing for her entire year – speaking to people on behalf of the state,” Riggleman said.

Power, on the other hand, said she enjoys the aspect of

performing the talent portion of the competition.

“It’s really the reason I got involved in the organization as opposed to other pageant systems,” Power said. “As an undergraduate at WVU, I was on the dance team all four years and had the opportunity to perform all the time.

“But now as a graduate student, I don’t get the opportunity nearly as much, so it’s really fun to still have that opportunity.”

Regardless of their favorite aspect or the outcome of this evening’s competition, Power, Riggleman and McLaughlin all agree that the organization has changed their life for the better.

“It gives you so much confidence,” McLaughlin said.

“Pageants really just bring out the best in you and allow you to get to know yourself and perform the best you can.”

“It was sort of a turning point in my life, and I researched the Miss America organization and realized

ing number of states affording marriage equality to all citizens regardless of sexuality.”

Jacob Wolfe, sport and exercise psychology student at WVU, said he believes this is a step in the right direction; however, he believes the fight is far from over.

“An individual’s sexual preference should not be used as criteria for government officials to violate the Fifth Amendment rights of citizens of this country,” Wolfe said.

“To say that I am not an equal person entitled to the same rights and opportunities as everyone else simply because my brain is attracted to members of the same sex is offensive.”

“There is still much work to be done – especially here in West Virginia – but without a doubt, it inspires hope that change is one day coming to our society.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

it was more about scholarship and your platform and making a difference in your community.

“I encourage anyone who loves to perform, loves to be on stage and has something special to share to compete in this organization,” she said.

Riggleman said the pageant has not only helped her in the pageant world but with a variety of other life skills as well.

“I’ve become comfortable speaking in front of people, whether it be an intimate interview or on stage in front of hundreds of people,” Riggleman said. “It literally gives you skills not only used in pageant world but in the professional world and your daily life.”

“The BOG has such an expansive idea of the word ‘campus’,” he said.

Phillips also said he has never heard of another law controlling outdoor tobacco use, and the ban is too broad.

“The policy does not specifically address the harmful effect on others. It’s (Policy 57) trying to control people’s decisions,” Phillips said.

“Someone is making a purely personal choice ... and could be expelled or dismissed.”

All Good Music Festival to take place in Ohio second year in a row

Performance Impressions Concert PHotography

Last year’s All Good Festival crowd at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio, grooves to the music.

BY JEREMIAH YATES A&E WRITER

It’s almost that time of year again … All Good time!

This year marks the 17th annual All Good Music Festival, located at Legend Valley in Thornville, Ohio, July 18-21.

Many in the Morgantown area were sad to see the festival leave Preston County, but the first All Good Festival at Legend Valley was a huge success and should keep fans from around the

country coming back every year.

As always, the All Good Festival makes it easy for fans to see every band on the lineup. The venue and campgrounds are laid out very well. There are two adjacent stages, but at no time does the music on these stages overlap.

This model has set the All Good Festival apart from many other multi-day music festivals, because fans actually get to see each band on the lineup.

The festival draws 16,00020,000 people from all 50 states, as well as a few foreign countries.

“The crowd is eclectic, welcoming and ready for a good time,” said Dave Wiessman, promoter for All Good. “The new venue at Legend Valley in central Ohio is super simple to get to as the entrance to the campgrounds are less than half a mile off of Interstate 70, about 30 minutes east of Columbus, Ohio.

“We also have a music

stage in the campground with performances going on all weekend long,” Wiessman said. “It’s right by the 100 foot-tall Ferris wheel.”

This year’s headliners include Furthur, featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead; Primus; Pretty Lights; The Bridge and many more.

All Good Festival veterans The Bridge have played the festival 11 years in a row.

While they do not play often anymore, the All Good Festival seems to be a place they

always return to.

“It’s (the All Good Festival) important and special to us,” said Kenny Liner, mandolin player and beat boxer of The Bridge.

Last year, The Bridge played a prime-time set – opening up for the legendary Allman Brothers’ Band.

And this year, they have a great timeslot as well – in between Primus and Sound Tribe Sector Nine from 12:15 - 1 a.m. Friday, July 19.

“We are going to throw in classic fan favorites,” Liner

said.

The band is also working on new material for the show.

“The event is in its 17th year, so we know what we’re doing at this point, and I think anyone who loves music and the outdoors will find themselves right at home at the All Good Festival,” Liner said.

‘Monsters University’ garners mixed reviews Shawnee Moran A&E WRITER

The comical, familyfriendly monsters we all know and love from “Monsters Inc.” continued to scare their way to the top this past weekend, dominating the No. 1 spot in the box office for the second weekend in a row.

New movies such as “The Heat” (Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy) and “White House Down” (Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx) fell behind “Monsters University” opening weekend by taking the No. 2 and No. 4 spots in the box office, respectively.

“Monsters University,” the prequel to “Monsters Inc.” answers many questions that audience members may have had about the first movie. How did Mike and Sully become friends? How did they get into the scaring business?

Why does Randall hate them?

While “Monsters Inc.” focused more on Sully’s story, “Monsters University” concentrates more on Mike’s backstory.

The movie begins by showing Mike as a small, high-pitched, “one-eyed creetin” on a field trip with his elementary school class. This field trip to Monsters Inc. changes his life forever, for Mike discovers that he has a passion for scaring and diligently starts to prepare for his future.

Years later, when the majority of the movie is focused, Mike enthusiastically joins Monsters University in the hopes of becoming a great scarer. To the surprise of audience members, Randall, not Sully, is Mike’s best friend and college roommate at the beginning of his freshman year at the scare program.

When Mike meets Sully the first day of class, he isn’t impressed. The two monsters appear to be polar opposites. Mike is dedicated and studies hard to achieve what he wants, whereas Sully relies on his scary looks and his family name. The two don’t get off to a great start and are both cut loose from the prestigious scaring program.

Mike finds a way to prove to the Dean that he belongs in the scaring program; he joins the nerdy monster fraternity “Oozma Kappa” so that he can compete in the Scare Games, a series of intense physical challenges that test a monster’s scar-

ing ability. The fraternity or sorority that wins this game gains instant recognition as the scariest monsters on campus.

Sully ends up joining “Oozma Kappa,” as they are one member short, but doesn’t believe they stand a chance.

Mike strikes a deal with the Dean of Monsters University – if “Oozma Kappa” wins the Scare Games, the team will be admitted back into the scaring program.

If they lose, Mike must leave Monsters University.

Like most Pixar movies, there were several different elements of the film that catered to the wide age range of movie-goers.

Children of all ages enjoyed seeing their favorite characters return to the screen. Along with Mike and Sully, the abominable snow man and Roz also made an appearance in “Monsters University,” exciting children throughout the theater.

New monsters of all shapes, sizes, and colors captivated the attention of children. The monsters that appeared throughout the film demonstrated Pixar’s remarkable imagination. Hundreds of new characters, good and bad, furry and scaly, each had their own unique personality that contributed to the film.

A brilliant, witty script created a different layer of comedy for adults than for children. Adults scattered in the theater snickered at moments in the movie where our favorite monsters were involved with wild parties and fraternity initiations, bringing back past memories.

Both children and adults laughed at jokes that referenced the first movie. “Monsters University” perfectly echoed jokes that were in “Monsters Inc.” and reminded audience members just how talented Pixar is.

Pixar did a phenomenal job in making a movie that caters to such a diverse audience. Thanks to the wide age range of viewers piling in the theater due to the ‘G’ rating, “Monsters University” has brought in $46.2 million this weekend, while the total domestic gross for this prequel has hit a high at $171 million.

With ratings like these based on the first two weekends, “Monsters University” will no doubt be one of the most sought-out movies of the summer.

CELESTE LANTZ COPY DESK CHIEF

Eleven years after the wildly popular original was released, Pixar has graced American audiences with “Monsters University.” All of our favorite characters return – Sully, Mike, Randall, and even Roz – and some new friends are introduced.

This movie is not among the production company’s best. The plot was a little stale and predictable. Though it is primarily a kid’s movie, Pixar has released other, more imaginative films and even more imaginative sequels.

I won’t go into a full plot summary, but essentially, the storyline provides a background of Mike and Sully’s friendship and early years.

Mike’s motives for wanting to be a scarer are made quite clear; he was an awkward young monster – not particularly scary – who was encouraged by a real scarer to apply to MU on a field trip to Monsters Inc. headquarters.

However, no such background is provided for Sully - just that he is bigger than Mike and has a famous father. I know the movie has certain length restrictions, but it wouldn’t have hurt to add a minute or two talking about Sully’s childhood and the suggested pressure to be like his father.

The movie portrays Mike and Sully as rivals, but it seems as though they aren’t really competing against each other for most of the film. They’re more-so working for the same against-allodds team toward the same goal: a spot in the coveted

scaring class. However, the film actually shows Mike’s journey to find his place in the scaring world.

And worse, I feel like there were some plot points left unresolved. What about that rivalry with the competing university, from which Sully stole the scare pig? We hear about it once, and it’s not addressed again until the credits role.

I won’t give any details about the movie away, but it seems as though that school could play a fairly major role.

The movie itself was predictable. There was never a doubt in the viewer’s mind (except for the toddlers in the audience) that Mike and Sully’s team in the Scare Games would lose. I feel like the creators could have taken this conflict in another direction, instead plotting Mike and Sully directly together.

The whole movie seemed almost like an excuse to have a massive re-release of toys and publicity events.

Despite my critiques, “Monsters University” was, for a kid’s movie, worth watching, although you might consider waiting until it comes out on DVD. Apparently, taking a wailing child out of the movie theater is too much of a concept to grasp for some parents.

For those of us who were alive when the first movie came out, it’s a nice bit of nostalgia to see our revered monsters again.

Oh, and don’t forget to stay until after the credits for a special treat.

Grand Marshal Edith Windsor, the 84-year-old woman at the center of the U.S. Supreme Court decision granting gay couples federal marriage benefits, is surrounded by well-wishers during the gay pride march in New York on Sunday.

Seventeen years ago, Republicans introduced and subsequently passed the Defense of Marriage Act in both houses of Congress. The bill was signed into law by then President Bill Clinton, thereby cementing the federal government’s official position toward same-sex marriage.

The term “spouse” was defined in a manner that made it exclusive to heterosexual couples. The bill also ensured same-sex marriages would not be recognized by the federal government for all purposes, including job benefits for civil ser-

vants, immigration and social security survivors’ benefits.

Seventeen years is an eternity in the political life of this country. It goes without saying that attitudes toward homosexuality have undergone a radical transformation over the past two decades. But what is truly remarkable is the degree of change that has transpired over the past few years.

In 2008, poll after poll consistently showed that an overwhelming majority of Americans opposed same-sex marriage. Even President

Obama, who is now being touted by many gay rights activists as a significant contributor to their cause, opposed same-sex marriage during his first election bid.

Obama, like many Americans, has since “evolved” on the topic.

Fortunately for Americans, the Supreme Court seems to have gotten the message, and earlier this week, it finally struck down the obviously discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act. This latest milestone in the fight for equality continues is the most important one yet, and it has the

United States setting a positive example for the rest of the world in the arena of gay rights.

It is unfortunate it took this long for the country to come to its senses, but this week’s Supreme Court ruling is a historic leap toward fulfilling the ideals set forth by the founders of this country.

It is only fitting that the United States takes this important step as it prepares to celebrate its inception on July 4. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

OP-ED COMMENTARY

Texas lawmakers throw women under the bus kirk auvil columnist

Rick Perry is a misguided madman. Those following the Texas abortion debacle are no doubt keenly aware of this fact, but it needs to be said nonetheless. It is an unfortunate state of affairs.

He is hell-bent on dragging Texas backward in time and merits no respect.

For those not following the ugly dispute playing out in Texas, Republicans there were pushing to close down all but a few abortion clinics in the state. There are more than a few problems with this plan, and Texas State Senator Wendy Davis filibustered the proposal for 12 hours to bar its passage. Her effort was successful, at least insofar as preventing the bill from being passed during the state legislature’s special session.

Of course, that won’t stop the state’s Republican legislators from trying again, with their pugnacious captain Rick Perry cheerleading from the sidelines.

“It will pass overwhelmingly and will become the law in the state,” Perry told listeners on a radio show. “I think the voice of the people of Texas will be heard.”

Problematically, these “abortion clinics” provide plenty of healthcare services which folks all over Texas use every day. The clinics may provide contraceptives, STD testing or cancer screenings. Not to mention the fact that Perry already managed to shut down

mounting an assault on women’s reproductive rights. Ohio Gov. John Kasich just signed a new budget into law which cut $1.4 million from Planned Parenthood. Ohio’s House of Representatives also saw fit to include a provision in the bill which stipulates that rape crisis clinics may have their funding suspended if their employees are caught counseling victims on possible abortion options. In addition, the bill requires abortion providers to give ultrasounds to women before they can have abor-

tions. It also prevents public hospitals from entering into transfer agreements with abortion clinics. This sounds innocuous, until you realize that these agreements are put in place in case a complication arises during an abortion procedure, in which case that woman has to have a private hospital as her backup, because the public hospital won’t take her. There are more bad provisions in the bill, but suffice it to say that Ohio is messing up.

Texas and Ohio, what are you doing?

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR Born today This year communication becomes more important than ever. Many times, you will experience misunderstandings, and you will want to clarify them. Your awareness of your words and how they will be taken helps you gain understanding.

If you are single, you could meet several interesting people. Choose your sweetie with care. If you are attached, the two of you learn to speak with more depth and awareness of how the other will hear the words.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Keep reaching out to a respected friend. You like to bounce ideas off this person, especially since you often gain insight and direction during your conversations. You could find that an unexpected event has you moving in a new direction. Tonight: Pay bills.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You know much more than you are prepared to reveal; however, a conversation could open you up to various possibilities. You’ll gain insight when someone tosses a wild idea in your direction. You do not need to say much about your perception -- just observe. Tonight: Be wild.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Your instincts will be right on, but you still might decide to stay mum for a little while. As an observer, you learn a lot more than you realize.

Stay open, and enjoy the interactions around you. Deal with a financial issue. You know what to do. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH A conversation with a friend will support your decision to head in a certain direction. You might not always agree with this person, but in the long run, this seems like the best way to go. You finally can clear the air, and you’ll feel better as a result. Tonight: Follow your friends!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Someone needs you. You give 100 percent of yourself in almost any project. How much you choose to share could vary with the moment. You don’t need to spill the beans just yet. Reveal more than you have, and see how the other person responds. Tonight: In the limelight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Kick back, and take advantage of the moment to see the whole picture. You might not feel comfortable with everything that you are seeing, but you need to sit on your feelings for now. Time will have an interesting effect on your perception. Tonight: Where there is great music.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Listen to what someone shares. During the conversation, or afterward when reflecting on it, you might see how a misunderstanding could have occurred. Though you might not be in the mood to open up about what you see, a sense of relaxation will take over. Tonight: Visit a friend.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others seem more willing to explain where they are coming from. Do not react immediately to what someone says, but be willing to think over his or her words. You’ll be able to visualize how you might have misread the situation. Tonight: Go along with a

Piano festival brings legends to CAC

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Dan Haerle performs at the CAC as part of ‘The Intersection of Jazz and Classical Music’ Piano Festival and Competition 2013.

BY NOELLE HARRIS A&E WRITER

A quiet summer in Morgantown was brought to life last week with the sounds of “The Intersection of Jazz and Classical Music” Piano Festival and Competition 2013.

The event, which was hosted June 24-28 by the WVU School of Music, lasted all week and offered teachers, students, guests, visiting artists and locals in attendance a chance to

explore the worlds of jazz and classical piano music via master classes, guest performances and competition.

According to Christine Kefferstan, professor of piano at WVU who helped organize the event, it was a great opportunity for pianists to learn more about their instrument.

WVU welcomed two special guests who performed and taught during the week.

Ann Schien is a worldrenowned artist who has

performed with many different famous conductors in orchestras around the world, including the Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic.

She also performed in the White House and was featured as the 20th century distinguished artist in a book about female performers. Her recital featured music by Beethoven and Chopin.

The other special guest, Dan Haerle, is a famous jazz musician who is recognized

as being a legendary educator in the field of jazz music.

He has published numerous textbooks in jazz and has performed with many famous jazz musicians including Mel Torme and Al Jarreau. Haerle played a combination of his own pieces and pieces by other famous composers at his recital.

The event Kefferstan was most happy about was the presentation by Bradford Gowen, which was about Aaron Copland, who has

been one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time.

“He worked with Copland, so this is something special,” Kefferstan said.

Presentations and master classes like that were the reason the week was a great learning opportunity. Attendees had the chance to learn new things from the very best in their respective fields. They explored rags, etudes, improvisation and blues all in the span of a week.

“The Intersection of Jazz and Classical Music” Piano Festival and Competition 2013 also served as a great way for performers to exhibit their experience to the outside world. WQED, WBOY and NPR were all live at the competition Friday broadcasting the events and competitors.

Blenko Glass donates 150th piece of glass to WVU

BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR

Blenko Glass Co. recently provided the West Virginia University art collection with the latest piece of limited edition glass from the West Virginia Birthday Blenko Glass Collection.

The collection is a tradition that began in 1980 with Hillary Homburg, a former WVU dental school graduate and 2002 WVU Foundation Scholar.

The University receives the newest piece each year on June 20, which is West Virginia Day. According to Homburg, the president of Diamond department store shared a New York City cab with Mr. Blenko in 1980 and asked him to make “something special” for the West Virginia birthday event. He requested it be a centerpiece and usable for glass fruit designed by Don Sheppard, a glass designer and architect who worked at Blenko.

All the pieces of the collection are meant to be used and are fully functional, as well as strikingly beautiful.

Made of turquoise and crystal glass, this year’s 150th birthday piece is entitled “Birthday Hearts for West Virginia.”

“Arlon Bayliss, a professor of glass art and a part-time designer at Blenko, has designed the Birthday Piece for the last eight years,” Homburg said. “Each year, he does a unique piece.

This year he said he was thinking about how much the people of West Virginia love the state and also how much they care about Blenko and all things West Virginia, which led to the hearts.”

Homburg has a quite per-

sonal history with West Virginia University and Blenko Glass Co. “My history with WVU and Blenko Glass both began before my birth,” Homburg said. “My granddad and my dad went to WVU, and I have gone to football and basketball games with season tickets since I was two years old.

My family loves WVU.” The Homburgs’ history with Blenko, who began making glass nearly 100 years ago, is equally meaningful.

Homburg and her father did stain glass projects throughout her childhood and would make weekly trips to Blenko for scrap glass.

“My parents started the Birthday Collection in 1980, buying two pieces – one for their future child – and in 1984, I came along for the June 20 event,” Homburg said. “We often stood ... up to 10 hours in a line that always started the day before to acquire a ticket to purchase the vase.”

According to Homburg, this year, people lined up on Tuesday for the sale of the 150th anniversary vase on the following Saturday.

The vases have increased in price over the years, said Homburg. The collection is presently estimated to be worth between $25,000 and $27,000.

Only seven people, including WVU, own the complete set of 150 pieces of glass in the Birthday Collection. Homburg said each year since 1980, only a limited number of glass pieces – less than 150 – are produced and sold.

“As a Foundation Scholar in 2002, I became aware of how necessary it is for those of us who attend WVU and the people of West Virginia

in general to give back to the University,” Homburg said.

“The University changes lives daily.

“After spending time with Foundation staff, I knew I would be an alumni who would promote WVU for the rest of my life, and I would give back when the time presented,” Homburg said. “My Birthday Collection was the only thing I had of value as an undergraduate at WVU.” Homburg is also a strong advocate for West Virginiamade glass. She currently works with a group of volunteers on the Blenko Project with the goal of educating the public about West Virginia glass. Homburg also blogs daily about West Virginia glass for the Huntington Herald.

“I remember saying at the time that I gave my collection to WVU that the four things I held most dear in my life were my family, my degree, WVU and Blenko Glass, and I would have to say little has changed,” Homburg said. “I now value my career as a public health dentist working with Cabin Creek Health Systems in Cabin Creek, West Virginia.”

According to Homburg, Cabin Creek is a non-profit health system owned by the community, which offers oral health care to the rural population.

“Most anyone who becomes involved in Blenko Glass becomes attached to the Blenko family,” Homburg said. “They are hardworking, brilliant people who also love West Virginia.”

Kingsbury says no reason to slow down offenses

Kliff Kingsbury will return to be the head coach at his alma mater, Texas Tech, this season.

NEW YORK (AP) —Unless it can be shown that up-tempo offenses lead to more injuries, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury sees no reason to slow down the game with rule changes.

Kingsbury is heading into his first season with the Red Raiders after being Texas A&M’s offensive coordinator last season. He has been a part of some of college football’s most prolific offenses as a quarterback at Texas Tech under coach Mike Leach from 1998-2002 and as a coach with the Aggies and Houston.

Last year, Kingsbury helped A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel win the Heisman Trophy and set numerous Southeastern Conference records.

Alabama coach Nick Saban and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema are among those who have suggested the NCAA consider tweaking the rules to limit how quickly offenses can run plays and allow defenses more time to substitute players. ‘’I would have to see some scientific or statistical information showing an increase in injuries, because to me right now it’s just talk,’’ Kingsbury told The Associated Press in an interview at a Manhattan hotel. ‘’You want me to play slower, well, OK, you need to get smaller, less strong defensive linemen. To me, it’s asking to do that. ‘’Stop recruiting these beasts up front and we won’t run as many plays.’’

From Oregon to Texas A&M to West Virginia, fastpaced spread offense that run upward of 75 plays per game are all the rage in

college football. Scoring reached record levels last season, even in the SEC, which has prided itself on its stingy defenses during a run of seven straight national championships. ‘’I think if you have the right personnel that offense will work anywhere,’’ Kingsbury said. ‘’We’ve always believed that. I think last year proved if you have the right guys you can run it in any league.’’

Eighteen of 124 FBS teams averaged at least 80 plays per game in 2012.

Marshall led with 92.8.

Texas A&M ranked eighth with 83.5.

Alabama, which uses a more traditional pro-style offense and only picks up the pace when it has to at the end of a game or half, ranked 114th at 66.3 plays per game. Bielema’s Wisconsin team averaged 68.2 plays per game (99th in the nation) in 2012.

Kingsbury said the style of play, especially in the Big 12, where half the teams averaged at least 76 plays per game, has changed what it means to play good defense. ‘’There are some really good players in the Big 12 on defenses, but yards per game is through the roof.

That’s just the nature of the game,’’ he said. ‘’If Alabama or LSU or those guys faced these offenses all the time, each and every week, it would be different. That’s just a fact. ‘’We’re big on being great in the red zone, holding people to field goals and creating turnovers.

I think the yards are going to be up there. It’s just the way the game is set up these days.’’

WVU loaded with talent in the backfield amit batra sports WRITER

file photo

Dustin Garrison is one of five running backs on the West Virginia football roster heading into the 2013 season.

This upcoming season could bring a lot of change for the West Virginia football team. Besides the limited expectations in contrast to a year ago, the Mountaineers could become a runfirst team as opposed to last year’s passing attack.

While WVU already looks to have five capable running backs on the roster – juniors Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison and newcomers Dreamius Smith, Wendall Smallwood and Charles Sims – there is a possibility of even more depth at the position with the chance of former Pittsburgh running back Rushel Shell considering West Virginia.

According to ESPN’s Brett McMurphy, Shell has listed Kentucky and WVU as his final two choices, and a decision is to fol-

low after he visits both schools.

Previously, the highly recruited running back showed interest in Ohio State before announcing that OSU was out of the running.

If the Mountaineers are able to land Shell, there should be some extra excitement and expectation for this currently questionable group as the season rapidly approaches.

As WVU is ready to implement more schemes in the running game, the team should really benefit from having a lot of quality backs as opposed to a team struggling with injuries just a year ago.

“That was the main concern with (Dana) Holgorsen,” Garrison said. “Last year was tough with only having three (running) backs and a lot of them banged up.

“Right now having a lot more backs will help all of us out a lot more; it’ll prevent a lot of injuries and keep everybody healthy. At the same time, it’ll

give different perspectives of the run game.”

After all, competition is never a bad thing.

The hardest part could be figuring out who will get how many carries during games.

Still, it’s really difficult to know what to expect with this team – despite the talent and promise with the rushing attack, some explosive wide receivers and a more-experienced defense.

Competition will only make this team better, and it will certainly be different to see a team coached by Holgorsen focusing on the run game as its main threat on offense.

While there are still doubts with this team in all three sides of the ball, the depth at running back will be one of the positives this season.

Who knows – that could be all West Virginia needs for success. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU ready for Big 12’s fast offenses in 2013

WVU defensive end Will Clarke signs autographs for fans after the Gold-Blue Spring Game in April.

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

During the 2012 regular season, Big 12 Conference offenses averaged a nationleading 74.2 plays per game.

Fast paced offenses in the league made it difficult for any defenses to slow them down. Big 12 schools averaged 464 yards per game, making it tough for all defenses to step up and make plays.

Experiencing it for the first time was difficult for conference newcomer West Virginia. While WVU fit in offensively, the Mountaineer defense had an extremely challenging task transitioning into the new style of play. Notorious for toughness, WVU’s defense was accustomed to the Big

East Conference, where traditional offenses are a mainstay. In addition to the differences in offenses, West Virginia’s defense also faced the change in schemes (33-5 stack to the 3-4), so players and coaches on that side of the football had a nearly impossible task.

Poor results came week after week as West Virginia finished 108th nationally in total defense and 118th in pass defense. WVU struggled mightily, as the team let Big 12 opponents get up and down the field with ease.

Entering year two of Big 12 competition with a full season in the conference under their belt, WVU’s defense has a deeper understanding of how to play against “air raid” offenses.

“Now we’re used to the Big 12 play system,” said Will Clarke, WVU offensive end.

“For certain teams we’ll know what type of plays they run. When we watch film, we’ll have a better feel for the players atmosphere and tempo, which is the biggest (factor) to understand.”

Clarke finished 2012 with 26 tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss. Playing in the league for the first time was an adjustment for Clarke. This year, he and the WVU defense know that if they cannot combat offensive tempo both physically and mentally, they will struggle again in 2013. The physical portion is dealt with through conditioning, and led by strength coach Mike Joseph, WVU has upped its summer conditioning pro-

gram in order to be prepared for the up-tempo Big 12 pace.

“We’ll have days where our weight lifting tempo is faster. We’ll go from benching to doing something else that is very fast paced. Then, we’ll do ... extra sprints on another day. We have been elevating our training to ready ourselves,” Clarke said.

While the physicality of being able to run with Big 12 wide receivers is important and someone like Clarke putting pressure on the quarterback is valuable, discipline is becoming more emphasized for the WVU defense throughout the offseason.

“It is more of a discipline thing,” Clarke said. “For example, once a play is over,

The 2013 tournament blends stars from yesteryear with many of the top players of today. Another group that will be wellrepresented this week at “America’s Resort” is the successful players from the Web.com Tour making the jump to the big leagues.

Nine of the top 10 from the Web.com Tour’s money list from last season will play this week.

Statistically, the Greenbrier will host two of the top five PGA players in

top 10 finishes this season (Bill Haas, Billy Horschel), greens in regulation on tour (Graham DeLaet, B. Watson, Boo Weekley), and driving accuracy (Ken Duke, Chez Reavie, Jeff Maggert).

“The word is surely out now about the Greenbrier,” Justice said. “It is just what it ought to be, and that’s family and just good wholesome people and hopefully everyone just having a lot of fun.”

The tournament starts

Thursday and runs through Sunday, July 7, when the fourth winner in tournament history will be crowned. The purse sits at $6.3 million with the champion receiving over $1.1 million.

Along with the golf tournament, the resort will host two concerts featuring country music superstar Kenny Chesney on Thursday and rock legends Aerosmith on Saturday night.

sports in West Virginia, with a thriving junior golf program, competitive amateur competitions and a PGA Tour event,” he said.

“With the success of the game in our state, it is only fitting that our largest university provide an opportunity for our top junior golfers to stay in West Virginia and compete at a Division I level.”

Adding an intercollegiate men’s program is never easy to do at this stage, and Luck is very enthusiastic with this unique opportunity. Other sports such as men’s track

and field and men’s tennis were possibilities, but according to Luck, bringing back golf made the most sense as an overall package.

“We’re just very excited about the opportunity, which doesn’t come along very often to add a men’s sport the modern world of intercollegiate athletics,” Luck said. “We have verbal commitments of over $1.5 million at this point in support of the operation of the golf program. We’re just delighted to add a great sport of men’s golf to our varsity roster.”

West Virginia will be getting into a very competitive conference in golf with the Big 12. The fall season will consist of invitationals and various tournaments, while the spring season consists of the NCAA Championships.

By this time next year, Luck hopes to have a fulltime head coach and coaching staff assembled following putting out some advertisements in January to find a qualified individual for the position.

you have to get lined up before the offense does. A lot of offenses in this league, if they see the defense getting lined up before they do, it’ll almost sabotage their tempo because they always try to catch you as a defense off guard.”

Little tidbits like that will be huge for a defense trying to restore itself as a proud and talented group. The offseason has been about gaining the mental strength to overcome moments of adversity. When defensive players get tired, they have to be able to ignore the cramps in their stomachs, and know the down, the distance or the amount of time on the clock.

As one of the few veterans present on the field last season, Clarke was forced

to lead on the field without any real knowledge of the conference or style of play. This season, that has changed. Clarke’s maturity and understanding of the league has him poised to lead much more confidently in 2013.

“Last year it was hard to explain to younger or inexperienced guys what would happen in this league, because you haven’t even played in it or experienced it yourself,” Clarke said. “It is easier because we have a physical and mental knowledge being around the atmospheres. Just having played in those games, it is now a little easier to explain to the younger guys on the defense.”

Ted Potter Jr. won last year’s Greenbrier Classic.

WVU to add men’s golf

Golf will be school’s 18th varsity sport beginning in 2015-16 season by amit batra sports writer

Following a 33-year hiatus, West Virginia University will reintroduce men’s golf as a varsity sport for the 2015-2016 season, Director of Athletics Oliver Luck announced early Monday.

Men’s golf was a varsity

sport from 1933-1982 before it was put to an end.

By March 31, 2014, Luck hopes to hire a full-time men’s golf coach, well before intercollegiate play begins July 1, 2015. Location discussions for play are still in the works.

“I am pleased to announce that men’s golf will

be returning as an intercollegiate sport at West Virginia University,” Luck said in the press release. “Golf had a strong tradition on this campus, and its statewide popularity makes it a perfect addition to our department.

“A lot of thought, time and effort went into this de-

cision as far as cost, travel and infrastructure goes, and I believe the strong tradition and history of Big 12 golf will only enhance our chances of building a championship program.”

With the reintroduction of men’s golf, WVU will have 18 intercollegiate sports. At the start of the 2015-2016

academic year, WVU will have six men’s sports and 10 women’s sports that are Big 12 sponsors (each member of the Big 12 has men’s varsity golf as a sport).

As of 2015-2016, men’s golf will offer a NCAA maximum of 4.5 equivalency scholarships, and WVU will provide 1.5 scholarships in

2015-2016. Men’s golf will have an annual cost of approximately $257,162.

Popularity continues to rise around high schools in the state of West Virginia. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations

TIME TO TEE OFF

2013 Greenbrier field set to be tournament’s best by joe mitchin sports writer

It has become a crown jewel on the West Virginia sports calendar. It’s the Greenbrier Classic, back on the PGA Tour for its fourth year.

For one week each year, professional golfers from all over the world come to the Mountain State to take on one of the most beautiful courses on the map.

Scheduled on Fourth of July weekend and played at the Greenbrier Resort & Spa, a location known as “America’s Resort,” the event is treated more like a celebration for the proud people of West Virginia than just a sporting event.

This year’s tournament should go down as the best in its history.

The Greenbrier Classic will welcome the top golf talent in the world to their treasured Old White course in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., this weekend. It’s an absolutely loaded cast of golfers including two Hall-

of-Famers and fan-favorites Phil Mickleson and Tom Watson.

Mickleson will play the Greenbrier Classic for the third consecutive year. He failed to make the cut in his previous two appearances and has never shot a below-par round at the course during competition. Yet, the four-time major winner will return this year and seemingly in the future as well.

“I look forward to spending the Fourth of July at America’s Resort and competing in The Greenbrier Classic for years to come,” Mickleson said when he announced his commitment to this year’s event in June.

Watson has been a staple at the Greenbrier for more than 30 years. The relationship began back in 1979 when he first came to the course as part of the United States Ryder Cup team.

During the event, Watson’s wife at the time went into labor in their hometown of Kansas City, Missouri. The owner of the Greenbrier,

James Justice, sent Watson home on a private jet. Since then, he’s remained loyal to the resort.

Other top names in the 2013 field include 2012 Masters Tournament winner Bubba Watson, 2012 U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson, 2010 British Open champ Louis Oosthuizen, 34-time tour winner Vijay Singh and the beloved John Daly, a two-time major winner, among several others.

The field has combined to win 340 PGA Tour events including 26 majors. More than 46 percent of the 151man field is a previous winner on tour. All together, spectators will be able to see 70 tour winners and 13 major champions play in White Sulphur Springs this week.

All three winners from the past Greenbrier’s will be back including last year’s champion Ted Potter Jr., who defeated Troy Kelly in a two-hole play-
