Students weigh-in on loan increases

By Caroline Peters Staff Writer

Congress did not reach an agreement to prevent interest rates on subsidized federal student loans from rising.

This has led to a doubling of rates on subsidized Stafford Loans.

In 2007, Congress passed the College Cost Reduction Act. The act lowered the interest rate charged on subsidized Stafford Loans to 3.4 percent. However, the Act

was set to expire in 2012, hiking the interest rates up to 6.8 percent. In the heat of things, Congress acted last year and extended the Act for another year.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) scheduled a vote to take place Wednesday to extend the bill for the upcoming year. Despite Reid’s efforts, students are still concerned they will regret taking loans from the federal government.

“Congress was intended

to represent the people and I’m not sure students feel represented,” said Kaleb Hill, a WVU marketing student.

“The doubling of rates on loans worries me that education has become more of a business than an institution.”

“The rise of rates scares me,” said Caitlin Lokant, a WVU biology student. “I just don’t want to be paying off college when I’m 40. I might have kids by then.”

However, Lokant said she would rather gather debt

and get a degree than be left with neither. WVU pre-biology student Tracy Rondinello said she also believes that debt is worth an education.

“Despite the increase on rates, I still have to borrow,” Rondinello said. “I try not to think about the rates now. We were always taught that if you went to college, you would be able to support yourself and pay off the debt later. I’m just hoping the government doesn’t let this generation down.”

Associate Director of Financial Aid Tresa Weimer said students should take caution with how much they borrow.

“The very first step in financing your education is being aware of how much money you borrow,” she said.

“Students should be careful not to borrow more than they need and they should try to pay back their loans as soon as possible.”

Weimer said that the effects of the rates increase will

not be noticeable for about five to six years.

“We anticipate the default rates to increase,” Weimer said. “The students who are graduating in the next five to six years will be the ones that show America if the increase in rates affects student’s budgets. However, services work hard with students to ensure that they can make payments.”

Default rates are the

WVU launches CONSTRUCTING THE ECONOMY nation’s first ‘Super Wi-Fi’ network

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The first phase of WVU’s Super Wi-Fi deployment will put the service in each PRT station.

By Carlee Lammers Managing Editor

West Virginia University became the nation’s firstever campus to turn empty TV broadcast channels into something super.

Tuesday, the University announced it partnered with AIR.U, a consortium that includes Google and Microsoft, to provide its campus and nearby areas with broadband internet services.

AIR.U has worked with WVU to transform the “TV white space” frequencies left empty when television stations moved to digital broadcasting into high-speed connectivity.

The “Super Wi-Fi” will use lower frequency TV radio signals than standard Wi-Fi. Super Wi-Fi is able to broadcast signals past obstacles including trees and hills for up

to six miles.

According to the University, Super Wi-Fi will initially be available to students and faculty on the Personal Rapid Transit platforms across campus.

WVU Chief Information Officer John Campbell said he believes the AIR.U partnership will not only improve connectivity quailty across WVU’s campus, but across the state of West Virginia as well.

“Not only does the AIR.U deployment improve wireless connectivity for the PRT system, but also demonstrates the real potential of innovation and new technologies to deliver broadband coverage and capacity to rural areas and small towns to drive economic development and quality of life, and to compete with the rest of

WVU construction projects pump $1 billion, 7,100 jobs into regional economy by caroline peters staff writer

West Virginia University’s and WVU Healthcare’s construction projects are predicted to bring money into the city’s pockets.

Recently, a study was conducted by WVU’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research that shows more than a $1 billion economic increase due to these projects.

“In any study of this type, we have to make some assumptions about where the contractors are located and how the spending is distributed across the study area,” said Eric Bowen, the research associate who conducted the study. “But we feel comfortable that these results represent a fairly conservative measure of the economic impact of WVU’s construction projects in the Monongalia County region.”

The WVU projects are being funded by the sale of bonds, and WVU Healthcare projects are being funded by WVU Hospitals Inc. The construction jobs began in June 2011 and are set to be finished by November 2015. The total budget of the projects totals $742.9 million, creating 7,100 jobs and approximately $35 million in local and state tax revenue.

The University intends to invest in the city of Morgantown by completing these projects.

“These projects demonstrate WVU’s investment in Morgantown and surrounding area, and a commitment to the continued financial health of the institution, which employs around 6,000 persons at the main campus,

A year in review: First year in Big 12 was learning experience for WVU by michael carvelli sports editor

When West Virginia University officially entered the Big 12 Conference a little more than a year ago, Athletic Director Oliver Luck knew to expect a lot of changes in the Mountaineers’ first season as a member of the new conference.

A season that started with lofty expectations for sports like football and men’s basketball failed to meet those high standards, while the likes of women’s soccer and baseball flourished in their first time through a Big 12 season.

“It was certainly a learning year for us,” Luck said. “This is definitely a great conference, and I think it was a very good move for us. It gives us the opportunity in the decades to come to get to play in a power conference.

“Every sport had it’s own

story, and it’s tough to generalize but I think we did a nice job overall in our first year.”

Plenty of outsiders considered the biggest challenge for WVU in making the transition would come in the form of the longer travel for away games.

Traveling to Ames, Iowa, is West Virginia’s shortest road trip in the Big 12 – clocking in at 14 hours and 41 minutes away from Morgantown. In the Big East, the Mountaineers’ longest trip was a 16hour, 23-minute distance to South Florida.

But Luck insists that it wasn’t necessarily the travel that caused WVU to have some fits during the 2012-13 seasons.

“The biggest challenge was, and will continue to be, the great depth in this conference,” Luck said. “In the Big 12, you have to come out and play every night because anyone can beat you. In the

Big East, because there were so many schools, there was a much wider disparity between the top and bottom of the league.”

With the move to the Big 12, West Virginia is expected to begin making more money, compared to what it made in the Big East, through the conference’s new television deal.

Once the school starts getting paid as a full financial member of the league, WVU could be looking at making $20 million from the conference – quite a jump compared to the $7 to 8 million it would make per year in the Big East.

Luck said he thinks the benefits that will come with getting paid more in the Big 12 could be better in the long term, and although the athletic department announced a deficit of $12 million this

Pilots relied on automatic speed control

AP

The wreckage of Asiana Flight 214, which crashed on Saturday, is seen on a tarmac at San Francisco International Airport in San Francisco.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (AP) — The pilots of Asiana Flight 214 relied on automated cockpit equipment to control the jetliner’s speed as they landed at San Francisco airport, but realized too late they were flying too low and too slow before the aircraft crashed, investigators said Tuesday.

The new details were not conclusive about the cause of Saturday’s crash, but they raised potential areas of focus: Was there a mistake made in setting the automatic speed control, did it malfunction or were the pilots not fully aware of what the plane was doing?

One of the most puzzling aspects of the crash has been why the wide-body Boeing 777 jet came in far too low and slow, clipping its landing gear and then its tail on a rocky seawall just short the runway. The crash killed two of the 307 people

and injured scores of others, most not seriously.

Among those injured were two flight attendants in the back of the plane, who survived despite being thrown onto the runway when the plane slammed into the seawall and the tail broke off.

National Transportation Safety Board chairman Deborah Hersman said the training captain who was instructing the pilot flying the aircraft has told investigators he thought the autothrottle, similar to a car’s cruise control, was programed for a speed of 137 knots — the target speed the pilots had selected for how fast they wanted the plane to be flying when it crossed the runway threshold.

Instead, investigators said the plane reached speeds as low as 103 knots and was in danger of stalling because it was losing lift before it hit

hundreds of parameters of data downloaded from the plane’s flight data recorders.

An overreliance on automated cockpit systems has figured in dozens of air crashes and incidents in recent years.

“Some people, if they believe the autothrottles are engaged and if they are used to flying with the autothrottle engaged, will not realize that the autothrottles are not engaged and will let the plane get pretty slow. That has come up before,” said John Cox, an aviation safety consult and former Air Line Pilots Association accident investigator.

Hersman said the pilots told investigators they were relying on automated cockpit equipment to control their speed during final approach, but NTSB officials say it is still unknown whether a mistake was made in programming the “auto-

throttle” or if the equipment malfunctioned.

Hersman said the pilot at the controls was only about halfway through his training on the Boeing 777 and was landing that type of aircraft at the San Francisco airport for the first time ever. And the co-pilot was on his first trip as a flight instructor.

A final determination on the cause of the crash is months away and Hersman cautioned against drawing any conclusions based on the information revealed so far: Seven seconds before impact, someone in the cockpit asked for more speed after apparently noticing that the jet was flying far slower than its recommended landing speed. A few seconds later, the yoke began to vibrate violently, an automatic warning telling the pilot the plane is losing lift and in imminent danger of an aerodynamic

stall. One and a half seconds before impact came a command to abort the landing.

The plane’s airspeed has emerged as a key question mark in the investigation. All aircraft have minimum safe flying speeds that must be maintained or pilots risk a stall, which robs a plane of the lift it needs to stay airborne. Below those speeds, planes become unmaneuverable.

Because pilots, not the control tower, are responsible for the approach and landing, former NTSB Chairman James Hall said, the cockpit communications will be key to figuring out what went wrong.

“Good communication with the flight crew as well as the flight attendants is something I’m sure they’re going to look at closely with this event,” he said Tuesday. “Who was making decisions?”

BIG12

maybe $2 or 3 million per year from their TV deals and we can be getting literally 10 times that,” Luck said. “Some people need to understand the whole picture when it comes to last year’s loss. I’m sure if we had stayed in what is now the American Athletic Conference, those people

would be saying ‘How could they do that? They’re missing out on a chance to get so much money.’

“Ultimately, our financial situation is strong and will be very strong, thanks in part to that TV contract.”

an important part of bringing the economic, educational, and social benefits of broadband to all Americans,” he said. “The lessons learned from this pilot project will be important as Congress continues to look for ways to expand broadband access and advance smart spectrum policy.”

Super Wi-Fi will allow WVU to add additional WiFi hotspots in other locations around campus where students congregate or where there currently isn’t any connectivity.

According to the University, future phases of the deployment will include free public access to Wi-Fi on each of the 73 individual PRT cars.

As the pilot project, it is the hope of many that WVU’s

experience will pave the way for a bright future in Super Wi-Fi in rural towns, college towns and cities across the country.

“The innovative WVU network demonstrates why it is critical that the FCC allows companies and communities to use vacant TV channel spectrum on an unlicensed basis,” said Michael Calabrese, director of the Wireless Future Project at the New America Foundation.

“We expect that hundreds of rural and small town colleges and surrounding communities will soon take advantage of this very cost-effective technology to extend fast and affordable broadband connections where they are lacking.”

more than half of whom are classified staff,” said Staff Council Chair-elect Lisa Martin. “Even with the current budget cuts, it’s important that WVU continue to move forward with its strategic plan to ensure that staff, students and faculty are drawn to the University, and keep our recent momentum intact.”

University spokesperson

John Bolt said the projects will bring more than an economic boost to the city.

“These projects help the neighborhood,” Bolt said.

“The University’s plan shows a campus that is more connected with green areas for students to walk on. After all the construction is completed, students will be able to walk to buildings that are being placed right on the Evansdale Campus. There will be less need for cars, which will clear up the traffic in Morgantown. Students will

also be able to enjoy the most modern buildings, along with better places to study.”

The projects range from an $8.95 million Greenhouse budget to a $40 million Advanced Engineering building.

In contribution to the projects in the study, WVU is conducting construction on land the University obtained when pu rcha si ng Va n da l ia Hall.

The pilot told investigators he realized the autothrottle was not engaged just seconds before they hit.

Their last second efforts to rev the plane back up and abort the landing failed, although numerous survivors report hearing the engines roar just before impact.

“We just seemed to be flying in way too low. Last couple seconds before it happened the engines really revved into high gear. Just waaah! Like the captain was saying ‘oh no, we gotta get out of here.’ And then, boom!

NRA steps up attack on Sen. Manchin CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The National Rifle Association plans to mail 200,000 letters to West Virginians this week, stepping up its attack on U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin over the gun purchase background check measure he’s co-sponsored.

Among other criticisms, the NRA missive faults Manchin, a Democrat, for promising not to support such a proposal when he sought the group’s backing in 2012.

The NRA had repeatedly endorsed the former governor and state legislator throughout his political career, and awarded him top ratings for his record. That changed once he began pursuing the background check measure with Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., following the massacre last December of 20 first-graders and six educators at a Connecticut elementary school.

The mailing follows dueling TV ads Manchin and the NRA aired last month. Citing provisions in his measure aimed at protecting

gun ownership rights, Manchin on Tuesday touted his lifetime NRA membership and called the letters another sign the group’s leadership “is more interested in scoring cheap political points.”

The proposal with Toomey, which stalled in April, would broaden background checks to cover online sales and all purchases at gun shows. It would exempt such non-commercial transactions as sales between friends and relatives.

Meant to prevent criminals and the seriously mentally ill from obtaining firearms, the background check system now applies only to sales handled by licensed gun dealers.

The NRA says that most gun show vendors are licensed dealers, and cites the U.S. Justice Department to argue that gun shows supply less than 1 percent of armed criminals. Its letter also casts the current background check system, which the NRA says it supports, as

“already overwhelmed and overburdened” without the proposed expansion.

“The Manchin amendment would have forced law-abiding gun owners like you to get government permission to buy a firearm from a lifelong friend if it was seen on Facebook, advertised in a local church bulletin, or the transaction occurred at a gun show,” the letter reads.

The two-page mailing does not mention Toomey – though it does refer to President Barack Obama, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. None are popular with gun rights advocates, and the president has generally gotten low marks in West Virginia.

Manchin has noted that Toomey has so far escaped the NRA’s wrath, attributing that to partisan bias. The NRA counters that Manchin has maintained a high media profile as he seeks additional support for the measure.

This summer’s must-see, streaming documentaries CAROL Fox A&E WRITER

For about a month, I’ve been (not-so) patiently waiting to see an unbelievably brave documentary made by actress, writer and director Sarah Polley called “Stories We Tell.” It chronicles the life of Polley’s mother, who had an extramarital affair from which Polley was conceived. Unfortunately, due to the relatively rural area in which we live, I have yet to see this amazing film, and it won’t even be in Pittsburgh until September.

My frustrating desire to see this courageous documentary has had me searching for comfort in the arms of scads of other documentaries available online through services like Netflix, HBO GO, Hulu and Amazon Prime. I’ll resist the urge to recommend something as asinine as “An Original DUCKumentary” or something as common as “Farenheit 9/11,” and present to you my picks for the best documentaries currently streaming online.

“Exit Through the Gift Shop” In this well-known and fascinating documentary, Banksy, probably one of the best-known street artists in the world, introduces audiences to Thierry Guetta.

Initially unknown, Guetta carries his camera around everywhere and decides to point it at street artists when he learns his cousin has been involved in the work. Surrounded by these artists, the impetus to create is contagious, and soon Guetta finds himself creating and selling his own pop-pastiche, street-

art-inspired works.

“Waste Land” The sheer amount of refuse accumulated all around the world every day is staggering. The level reaches such heights at one of the world’s largest landfills in Rio de Janeiro that there is a whole community of people dedicated to scavenging valuable, recyclable items from the area every day. In this poignant documentary Brazilian artist Vik Muniz commissions some of the scavengers to provide materials for artworks to be crafted completely of waste, all the while attempting to call attention to this group and help improve the conditions of their lives.

“Marwencol” You’re probably familiar with art therapy, but this documentary seeks to answer the question, “What if your therapy became art?” Mark Hogancamp was jumped outside a bar in 2000, and was left nearly dead and without any of his memories. In addition to dealing with the fear, anger and trauma the attack caused him, Hogancamp had to relearn even basic motor skills. But through this ordeal he found he was a very unique artist, creating an alternative reality out of 1/6-scaled dolls and models and photographing them in realistic-looking situations.

“Marwencol” is as beautiful as it is inspirational.

“Bill Cunningham New York” If you’re not familiar with Bill Cunningham’s work for The New York Times, you should be, but it’s okay. I challenge you to watch this documentary and not fall in love with this 84-yearold photographer. The doc-

umentary takes a look at Cunningham’s life and work, and it shows us a humble man with a beautiful worldview who has been incredibly dedicated and passionate about the fashion of New York City for most of his long, illustrious life.

“Dear Zachary” Ever wonder how great the impact is that you’ve made upon those you know? “Dear Zachary” is director Kurt Keunne’s attempt to answer that question in a cinematic letter to his lifelong friend, Andrew Bagby’s, parents. In this documentary Keunne takes to task the justice system and shows the world how Bagby was murdered by the mother of his child before the boy was even born.

This is a sad one, but it’s just as touching and provocative as it is heartbreaking.

“Paris is Burning” A profound look into the world of drag ball culture in the ‘80s, “Paris is Burning” is as glorious as it is serious.

Dealing with AIDS, racial relations, poverty, homophobia and issues of identity, this documentary is just as striking as it was in 1990 and still serves as a great entry point for thinking about issues facing the LGBTQ community.

“Happy” Okay, so this one is simply an absolute warm-fuzzies inducer. The documentary explores the quest for happiness, something that eludes so many of us though it is keenly felt when found.

The secret to happiness?

Pursue it. Money isn’t everything; physical activity, human contact, challenges and dedicating yourself to something you love are all more important to the quest.

“No Direction Home:

Bob Dylan” Directed by Martin Scorsese, this film gives an account of Bob Dylan’s early career. Covering Dylan’s meteoric rise from roughly 1961-66, this documentary celebrates Dylan for his ability to tap into a particular moment in United States’ history and deliver a uniquely American sound that changed the face of music forever. Featuring interviews with people who knew him and footage of Dylan himself, this documentary is a must-see for anyone who appreciates Dylan, music or America.

“Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson” With 2011’s release of “The Rum Diary,” Hunter S. Thompson has experienced a post-mortem surge in popularity. Narrated and featuring Johnny Depp and other people who knew Thompson throughout his career, this documentary gives viewers a deep look into the rise and drug-fueled fall of his life and career. You really get the sense of just how much Thompson cared about the trajectory of the United States during the height of his career and how far he fell when he completely yielded to drugs in his later life.

“Indie Game: The Movie” It’s no secret that video game development is a highdollar business, especially if you’re willing to work with one of the larger production companies. However, some game designers choose to go it alone, and this documentary focuses on just a few independent game creators and their hard work as they struggle to get their games produced and sold. If you’re

‘Happy,’ a documentary based on humanity’s happiness, is available on Netflix. a fan of games like “Super Meat Boy,” “Fez” or “Braid,” or indie games in general, you need to see this film.

“Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer” If your interest in Pussy Riot was even vaguely piqued when they made headlines last year on charges of “hooliganism,” you should check out this documentary. While the story isn’t as emotionally compelling as some of the others on this list, you really get the sense of the theatrics that surround both the band’s image and work and the trials and punishment that these women are still undergoing.

“Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work” If you like Joan Rivers, or

if you can even just tolerate Ms. Rivers, you should see this documentary. Though not initially a fan, I decided I might be able to like Rivers after watching her interaction with Louis C.K. on his show, “Louie”. The recently turned octogenarian is probably one of the most brutal comics still working today.

She’s so incredibly devoted to her work that you’ll be blown away by her dedication, and the insight into her life is refreshing. You get to see that, aside from several plastic surgeries, this selfdeprecating queen of comedy hasn’t changed since she was a young comic in the ‘60s. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘Pain, Parties, Work’ delves deeper into Sylvia Plath’s younger years CEleste Lantz Copy Desk Chief

Fifty years after her death, Sylvia Plath still captivates audiences through her work, personal life and the influence she had on the feminist movement.

Elizabeth Winder explores a different side of Plath, one not seen before, in her novel “Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953.”

In her famous novel, “The Bell Jar,” Plath briefly remarks about her time as an intern at Mademoiselle magazine through a thinly veiled fictional account. In the novel, we see a tortured, younger Plath, experimenting with

newfound freedom in New York. We’re shown a Plath who is terrified and defiant of the world around her and given a sense that her perception is severely skewed.

For the first time, audiences are given a deeper look into Plath’s internship with the magazine– a time often attributed to her ultimate breakdown and demise.

Through interviews with other interns that summer, snippets from Mademoiselle magazine and hand written accounts by Plath herself, Winder paints a portrait of the woman very different from the one suggested in “The Bell Jar.” The Sylvia everyone else knew was woman determined but subdued, with high aspirations but an inability to stay cooped up inside under build-

ing pressure to complete various projects.

In her youth, Plath didn’t develop lasting relationships, with either potential boyfriends or girl friends. She had so many thoughts inside her head and only wanted to express herself either through writing, design or other forms of art. She was confident in her looks, talent and knowledge. She enjoyed spending time alone while drinking whiskey in front of her typewriter, but she also loved going out to wild parties and dances.

In this novel, we see Plath as a woman who wanted all the glitz, glamour and opportunity of a Mademoiselle guest editor. She wanted the prestige, the style, and of course, the parties. However,

this summer was the very thing that broke her.

The novel itself was interesting, and Winder chose a smart medium, breaking up chapters of text summary with quotes from the other guest editors, photos of Plath and parts of the edition of Mademoiselle the girls worked on.

I personally was very excited to read this biography because Plath’s time in New York from “The Bell Jar” was one of my favorite parts, and I was interested in knowing more about it.

“Pain, Parties, Work” certainly went into the detail of this time but didn’t focus as much on Plath as the title and jacket cover would suggest.

Yes, Plath was the common denominator, but the bulk of the book was about the type

of girl who would be a guest editor at Mademoiselle magazine and a detailed description of what all the girls went through.

While it showed some insight to Plath’s early life, Winder didn’t reveal anything particularly new about her; only that her inner turmoil was not as easily recognizable from the outside. The majority of the other girls from that summer only thought Plath was going through the same amount of stress they all were. Winder paints a picture of oppressive magazine editors demanding far too much work from their interns and girls spreading themselves far too thin on a schedule far too tight.

I truly enjoyed “Pain, Parties, Work.” The writing was

clear and thoughtful, and Winder obviously did her research and created a delightful tale of summer in New York in 1953 for a number of girls interning at one of the most prestigious fashion and advice magazines of the time.

I’m personally a big fan of that time period (as a result of watching too much “Mad Men” and Audrey Hepburn movies).

“Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953” will be a wonderful read to any person in love with that time period and lifestyle and a vague interest in Sylvia Plath; however, don’t go in expecting to learn anything incredibly enlightening about the authoress. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Black Dahlia Murder’s ‘Everblack’ redeems group’s sound Hunter Homistek A&E WRITER

The Black Dahlia Murder never impressed me.

From the group’s debut release, “Unhallowed,” in 2003 to its commercially successful 2009 offering, “Ritual,” I found little substance in the melodic death metal titans’ sound. There existed blast beats, vicious screams and shred-tastic solos aplenty, but the songs consistently failed as a whole.

Because of this, when the band’s most recent offering, “Everblack,” was released June 11, I did not exactly rush to the record store (iTunes) and purchase it.

But I should have.

“Everblack” is fantastic. It is everything the band’s previous albums were not; it is an arrangement of well-composed, expertly executed songs.

After 10 years of waiting, I can definitively proclaim that The Black Dahlia Murder has created something worth listening to.

The group nails transitions just when sections begin to ramble, and bridges and breakdowns are laced with intricate details and replay-worthy melodies.

Everything that defined The Black Dahlia Murder’s sound in the past – the screams, the blast beats, the melodies and the solos – still exists in this musical casserole that is “Everblack,” but the group finally decided to measure the butter and the milk instead of just tossing and pouring elements as they pleased.

The result is a much tastier, much more calculated approach that utterly satisfies; guitarist Ryan Knight deserves praise for this reinvention.

The riffs on the album are tight and heavy, and

the solos are downright remarkable.

Trapped in a musical landscape where seemingly every guitarist is that 15-year-old kid who locked himself in his bedroom all summer to learn how to sweep, crafting his playing into a tornado of ill-advised, too-quick phrases, Knight combines speed with a virtuoso’s sense of melody and musicality, and the result is magnificent.

This exceptional guitar work is accentuated by a strong, driving rhythm section, courtesy of new band members Alan Cassidy on drums and Max Lavelle on bass, who ca-

pably fill the void left by previous band members.

With a lineup that has changed almost yearly since the band’s inception in 2001, this current cast of metalheads perfectly blends raw talent with musical chemistry, resulting in the group’s strongest offering to date.

If you, like me, found The Black Dahlia Murder’s previous work lacking, step into the “Everblack,” crank the volume and enjoy.

EDITORIAL

Debt shouldn’t be reduced on backs of students

ap

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., right, accompanied by Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., talks to reporters about student loans on Capitol Hill in Washington Tuesday.

Unsurprisingly, Congress failed to make a deal on student loans before the July 1 deadline. As a result, subsidized federal student loan rates have doubled from their previous rate of 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. The new rate is closer to those offered by private loaners and will affect an estimated 7 millions students, costing them anywhere from $2,800 to $11,000, depending on the amount borrowed and the type of repayment plan.

As we argued prior to the passing of the July 1 deadline, Congress

must act to ensure the loan rates are kept at or near the previously low rate of 3.4 percent.

Again, there is no disputing that the national debt crisis, which is only worsening as the debt is about to surpass an inconceivable $17 trillion, is a serious problem that must be dealt with. But students, who will serve as the backbone of America’s economic future, should not be made to pay for decades of reckless Congressional spending.

Changing the rate of the subsidized Stafford loans back to their

original rate of 3.4 percent will cost the federal government an estimated $6 billion. Though this cost may seem prohibitive, the benefits of increased college enrollment make it a worthy investment.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average income for a high school graduate in the U.S. is around $28,000 per year. For college graduates, the mean is a startling $23,000 higher at around $51,000.

Though college isn’t for everyone, it clearly has a very positive

impact on an individual’s financial outlook in this country.

For those members of Congress who are suddenly so worried about the debt crisis they created, it’s worth noting that the higher salaries earned by college graduates translates to an increase in tax revenue.

So once again, we urge Congress to come to an agreement on this vital issue and invest in America’s future.

OP-ED COMMENTARY

States’ rights, America and hope kirk auvil columnist

The balance of power between the federal and state governments has been a subject of contention since before our nation was founded. The question of who has the authority to do what has never been resolved completely. The American system of government giving rise to this divided form of government is known as federalism. The issue of where the balance of power lands in the federalist system is reargued by each generation. It challenges each new era to find its own answers to the question that so frustrated our nation’s founders.

The ongoing drama of states trying to address national issues on their own terms continues. Last week we discussed how Texas and Ohio were bungling their way haphazardly through abortion issues. Women in those states are going to have a bad time until they manage to put some sensible legislators in to undo the mess their current solons have created. This week, we have a humorous study in two parts of how states are dealing with the electronic frontier.

First, Montana. Montana legislators have just passed the first bill in the U.S. that expressly prohibits the government from tracking personal information stored in electronic devices without a probable cause warrant. Of course, there are some loopholes in the law, allowing law enforcement to bypass the law if “there exists a pos-

Thus we see the upside and downside of allowing states to control their own destinies. Sometimes you’ll have a Montana who knocks it right out of the park on the first try, and sometimes you’ll have a Florida who bans all computers in the state because someone in the capitol got embarrassed.

The great experiment of federalism and self-government rolls on!

“Lincoln: The Constitution and the Civil War,” a traveling exhibition, has been on display for two weeks at The Erickson Alumni Center. During the exhibition’s final days on display, award-winning author Kenneth C. Martis will deliver a closing lecture Tuesday in The Erickson Alumni Center’s Barnette Room.

The exhibition sheds light on how President Lincoln consulted the Constitution while dealing with the crises of the Civil War, including the secession of Southern states, slavery and wartime civil liberties.

Opening on West Virginia Day, June 20, the exhibit was presented in conjunction with the West Virginia University Libraries’ West Virginia Day celebration, as the state celebrated 150 years of statehood last month.

The West Virginia & Regional History Center, located on the sixth floor of the Downtown Campus Library, specifically assists in planning exhibits such as “Lincoln: The Constitution

and the Civil War.” “The Lincoln exhibit features large panels full of reproductions of photographs, documents and statements by and about Lincoln. It is traveling the country and focusing on the hard choices that Lincoln had to make,” said John Cuthbert, director of the West Virginia & Regional History Center.

The exhibit features photographic reproductions of original documents, including a draft of Lincoln’s first inaugural speech, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment. Based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the National Constitution Center, the exhibit was organized by the National Constitution Center and the American Library Association Public Programs Office and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

According to Cuthbert, the exhibit focuses on aspects such as the difficult decision Lincoln made to forcibly go to war in order to preserve the union, democracy, freedom and citizens’ rights suspended as a result

of the war, slavery and the creation of West Virginia.

“Many people thought (the creation of West Virginia) was contradictory because you fight a war to keep states within the union, yet it was okay to let part of a state secede from another state – at least that’s the way southern Virginians looked at it,” Cuthbert said.

Ken Martis, a retired WVU geography professor and recipient of the 2007 WVU Foundation Outstanding Teacher Award, will discuss Lincoln’s role in the state’s founding, as well as his fight for a second term.

The West Virginia & Regional History Center on the sixth floor of the Downtown Campus Library also features original items, such as the 35-star flag, a land grant signed by Benjamin Franklin and 19th century currency.

“People need to know where they come from and what their history is,” Cuthbert said. “When you’re young, you don’t think about it so much as you go about your daily life, figure out how to meet all your needs and get comfortable, but as you grow and you

NEW YORK (AP) — Amanda Bynes wore a long aqua wig, false eyelashes and black sweatpants and a tank top for a brief court appearance Tuesday on allegations that she chucked a marijuana bong out the window of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment.

The 27-year-old actress did not speak during the hearing that lasted mere minutes, but she drew a throng of photographers and television cameras as she entered and left the criminal court building in lower Manhattan. Neither she nor her attorney spoke to reporters outside court.

Bynes was arrested May 23 after building officials at her midtown apartment called police to complain that she was rolling a joint and smoking pot in the lobby. Officers went to her apartment, where they said they saw heavy smoke and a bong sitting on the kitchen counter. They said she tossed the bong out the window in front of them, according to prosecutors. A day later, in her first court appearance, she wore a disheveled blond wig.

Bynes rose to fame starring in Nickelodeon’s “All That” and has also starred in several films, including 2010’s “Easy A.” But she has been in the news more recently because of several scrapes with the

law and bizarre public behavior.

In a Twitter post after her first court appearance, she accused the officers who arrested her of sexual assault; police are looking into her claims. She also has taken to social media to criticize a host of celebrities recently.

Bynes had no previous arrests in New York, but she was involved in several California cases.

In December, the “Hairspray” star resolved a misdemeanor hit-and-run case after entering into a civil settlement with other drivers. She was charged last fall with driving on a suspended license after it was temporarily taken away from her following two hit-and-run cases where she was accused of leaving the scene without providing proper information. She has also pleaded not guilty to drunken driving in a separate case.

It’s not clear how the New York case will affect the California ones.

Manhattan prosecutors filed an affidavit from her building manager, Rudy Toro, corroborating police and prosecutors’ account of the tale. Bynes’ next court appearance was scheduled for Sept. 26.

She left court with her attorney, Gerald Shargel, wearing sunglasses into a waiting black Mercedes sedan.

Warrants: Aaron Hernandez ‘argumentative’ with cops ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was ''argumentative'' and slammed the door on police during their first encounter following his friend's death, according to court records.

He also called his girlfriend's cellphone and stopped her from speaking with police after they pulled her over and told her the friend, Odin Lloyd, was dead.

Hernandez was later accused of orchestrating Lloyd's death in an industrial park near Hernandez's home.

According to an affidavit attached to search warrants unsealed Tuesday, Hernandez approached police after he noticed them parked outside his North Attleboro home on June 17, the day

Lloyd's body was found.

Police said they asked him about an SUV he had rented. Hernandez told them he rented it for Lloyd and had last seen him in Boston the day before, the documents said.

The affidavit then said Hernandez became argumentative, asked ''what's with all the questions?'' and locked the door of his house behind him.

He then returned with his attorney's business card, and didn't respond when police told him they were investigating a death. “ M r.

Hernandez slammed the door and relocked it behind him,” the records read. “Mr. Hernandez did not ask officers whose death was being investigated. Mr. Hernandez's demeanor did not indicate any concern for the

Cleveland Cavaliers offer Andrew Bynum 2-year deal

AP

Philadelphia 76ers’ Andrew Bynum speaks to members of the media at the team’s NBA training facility in Philadelphia on March 1.

CLEVELAND (AP) – Andrew Bynum has a new team waiting for him.

The enigmatic free-agent center, who didn't play a single second for Philadelphia last season because of knee injuries, is mulling a two-year offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Cleveland made the offer, which includes a team option in the second year, during his visit to the Cavs' facility Monday. Bynum did not work out but the team examined him thoroughly.

The person with knowledge of the negotiations spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. Yahoo!

Sports first reported Cleveland's offer and said it was worth $24 million.

The 25-year-old Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March, but the Cavs apparently are confident he will return to the form that made him one of the NBA's best centers.

They're also counting on him thriving under Cleveland coach Mike Brown, who has returned to the Cavs after being fired three years ago. Brown and Bynum spent one season together with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 7-footer had his best year, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds.

Over the past four seasons, Bynum has averaged 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds.

Cleveland has competition in its pursuit of Bynum, who was scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and is expected to visit Dallas on Wednesday.

The Mavericks need a big man after losing out in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes.

It's not clear when Bynum will make his decision. The NBA's freeagency moratorium period ends Wednesday.

His agent, David Lee, did not immediately respond to a phone message.

The Cavs have already landed forward Earl Clark and guard Jarrett Jack in free agency and are looking to move up quickly.

They would immediately vault into contention in the Eastern Conference with a healthy Bynum paired with All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and a roster that includes forward Tristan Thompson, guard Dion Waiters and forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in last month's draft.

The Sixers acquired Bynum last summer from the Lakers as part of a fourteam trade.

Bynum, who made $16.9 million despite not playing last season, never got healthy enough to get on the floor with the Sixers.

The Cavs would be taking a risk with Bynum that could have huge rewards.

He would instantly raise their profile and probably get them back to the playoffs after winning just 66 games combined the past three seasons. In giving him only a two-year deal, they would not be tying up much money which would allow them to stay flexible next summer when several top-tier free agents –possibly LeBron James–will be on the market.

death of any person.”

Hernandez came out about 10 minutes later and agreed to be questioned at a police station, according to the documents.

Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder in the killing of Lloyd, whose bullet-ridden body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez's North Attleborough home.

His attorneys have said the evidence against him is circumstantial and that Hernandez is anxious to clear his name.

Eight search warrants were unsealed Tuesday after news organizations sought access to the records.

The search warrants reveal the breadth of the investigation, with authorities scouring through

everything from Hernandez's house to the contents of his team locker, which the Patriots had emptied into a container.

Among the items police seized were a rifle and ammunition found in Hernandez's home.

The records also detailed a discussion police had with Hernandez's girlfriend, Shayanna Jenkins, after she dropped him off at the police station.

Police said they pulled her over and she immediately burst into tears when she heard Lloyd was dead.

She later told them she had last seen him two days earlier, according to the documents.

She also said she had been out to a Father's Day dinner with Hernandez on June 16, but they returned home early and she went

to bed. She said Hernandez was away that night and she didn't know who he was with.

The records said Jenkins then received a call from Hernandez, who told her his agent had advised him to tell her not to speak to police.

The documents also offer some details about June 14, the Friday before the shooting, when prosecutors say Hernandez and Lloyd went to a Boston nightclub, Rumor. Prosecutors say Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd's shooting because he was upset at him for talking to certain people at the club.

One witness who works in the area near Rumor told police he saw Hernandez entering the club with what appeared to be a handgun, the documents said.

And Lloyd's girlfriend said Lloyd told her he was out with Hernandez that night and they didn't come home because they'd gotten drunk and slept elsewhere, according to the records.

Also Tuesday, a man who faces a gun charge in the case agreed to remain in jail until a hearing next month.

Carlos Ortiz, 27, appeared in Attleboro District Court, where a hearing to determine if he is a danger to the community was scheduled for Aug. 14.

If Ortiz is determined to be dangerous, he can be held without bail for 90 days.

Ortiz is from Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Conn., and authorities say he was with Hernandez when they picked up Lloyd the night he was killed.

WVU to renew rivalry with Virginia Tech

MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

Last Wednesday, West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck announced that WVU and Virginia Tech will renew its rivalry for a two-game series beginning in 2021. Once again, both schools will battle for the Black Diamond Trophy starting with the 2021 game in Morgantown. The 2022 game will be played in Blacksburg.

“I want to thank Virginia Tech Athletic Director Jim Weaver and Coach Frank Beamer for their efforts in helping to get the two teams back on the football field,” Luck said. “It will be a great day for all involved when the rivalry is renewed; this game is great for college football. We all know that

the two schools have extraordinary fan bases, and both schools will be counting down the days until the Hokies and the Mountaineers meet again.”

This rivalry has been played 51 times since 1912, with WVU holding a 28-22-1 advantage in the series. The last time the game was played was a 2005 Big East Conference game, with the Hokies defeating the Mountaineers, 34-17.

Since that time, the rivalry was put on hold.

“During my three years as Athletic Director at West Virginia University, I have heard from legions of Mountaineer fans, particularly those in the southern part of the state, who have expressed their strong sentiments to renew the football rivalry with Virginia Tech,”

Luck said.

Sims Named to Maxwell Award Watch List West Virginia newcomer Charles Sims has been named to the 2013 Maxwell Award watch list. The Maxwell Award has been given to college football’s player of the year annually since 1937. Sims, starred at Houston from 2009-2012, totaling 2370 rushing yards, 1707 receiving yards and 37 touchdowns.

Now at WVU, Sims has an opportunity to thrive on offense under Dana Holgorsen. Likely to play in the backfield and in the slot at different times, Sims is expected to be a playmaker for the Mountaineers.

Sims was one of six Big 12 players to make the watch list along with Texas’ David Ash, Oklahoma’s Blake Bell, Kansas State’s John

tle harder to land my shot,” Appleby said.

The defending champion, Ted Potter Jr., won the 2012 Classic by shooting a 264 (-16) for the tournament. Potter Jr. even admitted that changes were made from even a year ago, when he won the tournament.

“The biggest change is that the course is so much softer this year.

Last year it played a lot shorter. The fairways were a lot firmer so the ball rolled 20 or 30 yards when you hit your tee shot. This year you have to almost land it behind the hole and spin it back to the hole, so it’s definitely a lot softer this year,” Potter said.

Potter finished the tournament at 271 (-9) and tied for sixth.

Even 2011 Greenbrier Champ, Scott Stallings, who played well this past weekend finishing 6-under for the tournament, felt there were major differences.

“It was so firm when we played (in 2011), I remember some of the clubs I hit in, like I hit 9 iron into 12, and today Bubba (Watson) and I both hit 2 iron and it’s just totally different with the fairways being soft.

“It’s funny how different it plays from year to year,” Stallings said.

While the course has proved more difficult for past Greenbrier Champions Appleby and Potter, it has served others very well throughout the weekend. The 2013 Classic Champion, Jonas Blixt, finished the tournament 13 under par.

Tommy Gainey and Johnson Wagner set low day one first round records, shooting a 62 (-8). dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Old White course played differently in 2013 by greg madia multimedia editor

AP

Ted Potter Jr. finished tied for sixth in this year’s Greenbrier Classic after winning the event in 2012.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va – At the 2010 Greenbrier Classic, Stuart Appleby won the tournament by demolishing the Old White TPC. Appleby shot a 258 (-22) overall and set a course round record with a 59 on the final day of play.

That record served as the catalyst for the Greenbrier to make adjustments to one of the nation’s most historic courses.

After that point, the Classic has stretched its course, making shots greater in distance and tougher to score on.

Three years later, Appleby has completed his first two rounds at the 2013 edition of the classic.

Shooting a 141 (+1) and cut after the first two rounds, Appleby noticed the changes in the course.

“Just about every hole is longer,” Appleby said. “The course is a lot longer.”

When looking at actual length, the course has literally been stretched. Designed in 1914, the Old White TCP has overcome restorations and innovation to remain one of the United States’ most historic courses. And in addition to the restorations, the original of the Greenbrier Resort’s three courses, now measures 7,287 yards – an increase of 256 yards from 2010, when Appleby won the Greenbrier Classic. Furthermore, the chance of hitting a green in regulation has also gone down.

“It definitely makes it a little harder. If the greens were a little firmer, the ball would run. So anytime the ball is running away four or five yards, it becomes a lit-

Can Sims live up to the hype?

I may be going a bit overboard when writing this column. Out of sheer excitement, however, I feel that this needs to be done.

In terms of running backs, there hasn’t been this much excitement and hype for one particular player since Noel Devine tore up defenses a few years ago. There needs to be some mention for what Houston transfer Charles Sims can bring to the table.

After viewing several highlight tapes of what Sims could do on the gridiron, I must say this year could be very exciting in terms of production.

Earlier this week, six players from the Big 12 Conference made the watch list for the Maxwell Award – an award given annually to college football’s top player.

Alongside Sims, Texas quarterback David Ash, Oklahoma quarterback Blake Bell, Kansas State running back John Hubert, TCU quarterback Casey Pachall and Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk all made the list.

While being mentioned on the list may be a bit premature with Sims only being on the WVU roster for a little while, it is interesting to keep up with what he’ll be able to bring to the West Virginia offense. There’s definitely a possibility that he’ll be used in many schemes.

It was also interesting to see Sims get the nod over two experienced backs for West Virginia in juniors Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie. In 2009, Sims started his impressive resume with 698 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. His 70 receptions were good for 759 receiving yards and a touchdown.

In 2011, Sims had arguably his most productive season with 821 rushing yards on 110 attempts and nine touchdowns. Receiving-wise, he was also productive with 51 receptions for 575 yards and four touchdowns. Last year, the elusive running back ran for 851 yards for 11 touchdowns, while also catching 37 balls for 373 yards and three touchdowns.

In those nine games with the Cougars in 2012, Sims had one more yard than WVU’s leading rusher in Buie (850 yards in 13 games).

Could Sims produce the same type of numbers for the Mountaineers? At this point, it is difficult to tell, but it would be impressive since West Virginia has plenty of more depth at the position than it did a year ago.

I, for one, am excited to see what Sims could bring to this offense. If one thing is clear, it’s that head coach Dana Holgorsen will provide Sims opportunities for success with his offensive mindset.

The senior is expected to be a top NFL prospect following this season, so a productive season could do wonders for his stock.

Start getting excited, Mountaineer fans; the running game looks as promising as ever.

West Virginia and Virginia Tech will play a two-game series beginning in 2021. The two schools have not faced each other since 2005.

Saints’ Sean Payton talks football’s offensive adaptation

BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

The National Football League has seen its share of fads and gimmicks in recent years. Many of those ascended from the college game to the pro level. One of the gimmicks was the “Wildcat” offense, made famous at Kansas State in 1997 and 1998, and then again with Darren McFadden at Arkansas in 2007.

The “Wildcat” eventually trickled up to the NFL and managed to provide the Miami Dolphins with success in 2008, with Ronnie Brown or Ricky Williams doing the running.

But then the NFL caught up, defensive coordinators combated the “Wildcat” and it became a thing of the past.

The latest trend in the

league is the read option.

With an influx of dual threat quarterbacks like Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick, offensive coordinators have made the transition seamless for these guys by installing some of the same read option plays that they ran in college.

Whether or not the read option is a fad or around for good is still unknown.

It is going to get a fair chance, though, especially with the talent running the plays and even teams like the Eagles hiring a coach like Chip Kelly, who ran the up-tempo, read option while at Oregon.

Naturally, the next college offense to at least get a try in the NFL is the “Air Raid” offense. It’s highpowered and fast-paced and has been done at West

Virginia and throughout the Big 12 Conference; the “Air Raid” puts elite throwers in a great position to move up and down the field.

In the NFL, the New Orleans Saints have led the NFL in passing four out of the last six seasons by becoming really the pass happy offense of the NFL. During that time, quarterback Drew Brees has been terrific under head coach Sean Payton. Through the 2011 season, the Saints actually threw the ball 472 times, compared to running the football 431 times, giving reason to believe that an “Air Raid” offense could work in the NFL. “We think we have an ‘Air Raid’ offense,” Payton said. “Offenses are always evolving as to what teams do. I think most impor-

tantly, though, is not the offense, but the offense you’re asking your personnel to utilize.”

Payton even pointed out the ability to adjust his offense to the players that he had. In years where he has more talent in the receiving core than the backfield, he’s tended to be more likely to increase the number of times he opts to throw the football.

For instance, in 2011 his personnel in Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles had Payton calling more pass plays because all of those guys could catch the football.

“We try to take into account what our guys can do well, what they can’t and try to build around it,” Payton said.

Because of Payton’s flex-

ibility to comprehend his personnel, he understands the importance to be balanced. For as much as the Saints have had success throwing the football during their Super Bowl run in 2009, Payton actually called run plays 90 more times than he called pass plays. He understood that Mike Bell, Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush were more likely to help his team win than Marques Colston, Devery Henderson and Jeremy Shockey.

“I think that balance is important for us. It’s been a good formula; it worked in 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2011,” Payton said. “If we get one dimensional, I think it just becomes easier for opponents to play against us.”

If a true Big 12, Hal Mumme or Mike Leach branched, “Air Raid” of-

fense ever gets a chance in the NFL, it won’t be about if the “Air Raid” will work or not; it’ll be about whether or not the coach who gets the chance is flexible enough to adjust to his personnel. Whether it is Kevin Sumlin, who reportedly was offered the Eagles’ job before Chip Kelly was, or Dana Holgorsen, who has been tabbed as one of the top offensive minds ever, they would have to be flexible at the next level.

“The NFL’s ever-changing. Again I think it depends on who your players are,” Payton said.

“I think you see teams change with the quarterbacks that they have. I think it really is all on your personnel.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Jonas Blixt, of Sweden, won the 2013 Greenbrier Classic this weekend.

Blixt beats darkness to capture second PGA Tour win in 2013 Greenbrier Classic by joe mitchin sports writer

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Sunday’s final round at the Greenbrier had a little bit of everything for golf fans. The round started early with several big names teeing off one final time. By late morning, a hole-in-one was recorded by Luke List and the contenders were on the driving range getting ready to chase down, or in Johnson Wagner’s case, hold off the rest of the field. Then, in early afternoon, the rain came and the waiting began.

PGA Tour officials called for a weather delay at the Greenbrier at approximately 1:50 p.m., just before the top four players on the leader board began

play. Rain soaked the pristine golf course that had been groomed so well for the tournament.

Play didn’t restart at the tournament until just after 5 p.m. with the final group teeing off around 5:10 p.m.

The talk around America’s Resort was that the round had to be quick if they were going to beat the falling sun and postponing the championship round by a night.

Wagner, a Virginia Tech graduate, owned a two-shot lead over the rest of the golfers heading into the final round. He became a fan favorite this week because of his collegiate background.

The Greenbrier sits just over 70 miles away from where the Virginia Tech campus rests in Blacksburg, Va. On

Sunday, he wore an orange hat with maroon slacks in honor of his alma mater.

After Wagner bogeyed the second hole, he settled down by shooting one-under through the next 11 holes. It all started to unravel when he lost a shot at holes 11, 13 and 15. He finished the round at 3-over on the day and 11-under for the tournament.

Meanwhile, 29-yearold Swedish-born Jonas Blixt took advantage of the rain-soaked course and nailed five birdies in his final round. He caught Wagner after he birdied the 12th hole and went to 12-under for the weekend. Blixt never looked back.

“It’s kind of hard to catch a guy who is four shots ahead

of you,” Blixt said. “I was lucky enough I could put some pressure on him and just tried to play my best.”

Blixt and Wagner shared the lead for three holes before Blixt’s birdie on hole 15 put him on solely at the top.

He followed it up with another birdie on the next hole to lengthen a lead he would not surrender. “(It means) the world, absolutely the world,” he said. “It’s really cool to be here and just enjoy everyone and then to actually win – yeah, it’s really cool.”

The Greenbrier is Blixt’s second career win on the PGA Tour. The first came in 2012 at the Frys.com Open. His victory earned him $1.1 million and a spot in next year’s Masters, the

world’s most prestigious golf tournament.

Blixt said after the tournament that “once is luck, twice is skill” in terms of winning on the PGA Tour.

He started the tournament at No. 139 in the FedEx Cup standings. After his victory at the Greenbrier, Blixt moved up 100 spots to No. 39 and in great position to qualify for golf ’s version of postseason playoffs at the end of the year.

Four players tied for second place at the Greenbrier, including Wagner.

The other three included Australians Matt Jones and Steven Bowditch and American Jimmy Walker.

Sunday’s championship round didn’t conclude un-

til almost 9 p.m. with the sun completely set. Greenbrier chairman Jim Justice and PGA Tour officials monitored the playing conditions all throughout the round. Blixt’s championship ceremony on the 18th green would have been completely in the dark if it wasn’t for the help of a spotlight from above.

Blixt’s victory marks the second time in four years that a non-American has won the tournament. Stuart Appleby of Australia was the first to do it in 2010, the first year of the event.

So, what’s next for Blixt?

“I’m just really happy that I get to go home and see my family,” he said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
