3.75 percent budget cuts expected to hit Marshall

“Clearly, Huntington is an arts community. The arts enable us to lift up our better selves.”

- Huntington mayor Steve Williams

Life returning to Ritter Park Amphitheater

By MALAK KHADER

By PAULINA SHEPHERD

THE PARTHENON Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District Executive Director Kevin Brady announced a group of theater veterans will bring back the Ritter Park Amphitheater.

Huntington Outdoor Theatre celebrated its 20th and final show in July 2013. The shows stopped after director, Helen Freeman, Patti Shaver and several other volunteers were unable to produce shows due to the increase of bad weather.

Despite these past problems, community leaders and Mayor Steve Williams believe in the importance of the Ritter Park Amphitheater and its affects on Huntington.

“Ritter Park is the principle gem in the Jewel City,” Williams said. “Clearly, Huntington is an arts community. The arts enable us to lift up our better selves.”

After the closing of HOT, community leaders wished to give back to the city by continuing the tradition of an outdoor theater. Clint McElroy, Mary Smirl and Tommy Smirl partnered with Brady in order to create Huntington Area Regional Theater.

HART aims to give the region a place for surrounding areas and tourist to visit during the summer months. Instead of having one month of shows, the HART founders hope to expand the use of the outdoor amphitheater by two months.

Members of HART are aware of HOT’s previous influences and they do not plan to replace those influences.

“Helen Freeman set a huge bar, a high bar for us to leap over and it’s going to take a lot of work,” McElroy said. “We’re all veterans of Huntington Outdoor Theatre. Some of the best times of my life were spent in that theater, and we really appreciate everything she, Patti and everyone involved with HOT did.”

HART has planned a show for this summer called “Nonsense,” which has already been cast, and is planning auditions for a second show that has yet to be named.

Ashlyn Hinshaw, senior forensics chemistry major from Fishers, IN., gets her flu shot inside of the Memorial Student Center on Wednesday.

County health dept. provides free vaccinations

By MEGAN OSBORNE

THE PARTHENON The Cabell Huntington Health Department gave out free flu shots to students, faculty and staff Wednesday in the lobby of the Memorial Student Center.

The Center for Disease Control recommends that everyone get a flu vaccine especially higher-risk people

such as pregnant women, small children, those with chronic respiratory illnesses like asthma and anyone working with high-risk individuals Although the single best way to prevent influenza is vaccination, other precautions should be taken. Close contact with those who are sick as well as touching one eyes, nose or

mouth should be avoided to prevent catching the flu.

Other good practices include maintaining a healthy diet of nutritious with plenty of fluids and washing hands with warm water and soap can prevent illnesses like the flu.

The infected should avoid going to work or school and should make an effort to stay

home and rest to prevent spreading the illness as well as to promote recovery.

CDC research indicates the most common influenza viruses this season will be influenza A, H1N1, and influenza B, H3N2.

THE PARTHENON After the current legislative session, Marshall University is estimated to receive a budget cut of approximately 3.75 percent. However, the percentage is subject to change.

Other higher education agencies are looking at budget cuts close to 7.5 percent.

Marshall was effective in letting the legislature know that it could not afford a budget cut similar to the one it received the year prior.

The university is keeping a very close eye on the legislative session because of its importance to the stability of Marshall. President Stephen J. Kopp plans to make regular visits to the Senate and House of Representatives leaders as well as the governor throughout the 60 days of the legislative session.

In the past, Marshall set up budget forums that were effective in helping spread the word around the state that higher education is very important to the future of West Virginia.

An autopsy of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s body was inconclusive, and the determination of the official cause of death will have to wait for additional testing, the New York City’s medical examiner’s office said Wednesday.

“Our examination has been concluded but the results are inconclusive,” spokeswoman Julie Bolcer told the Los Angeles Times. “We are awaiting results and additional studies.”

Bolcer said there was no time frame available for when the tests would be completed.

Police have said Hoffman appeared to die from a drug overdose, but the exact cause will be determined by toxicology tests.

Hoffman, 46, was found dead Sunday with a needle in his arm in the bathroom of his West Village apartment, police said. At least 50 packets, some containing heroin, were found in his apartment along with unused syringes and a charred spoon, police said.

Various prescription medications, including a drug used to treat heroin addiction, a blood-pressure medication and a muscle relaxant, were also found at the scene.

Shaver Media Group helping community childcare

Ashley Herrald, senior public relations major, said all the money raised would go to scholarships.

“Early childhood development is really important,” Herrald said. “It could really give the children an edge over other children before kindergarten.”

THE PARTHENON The Marshall University Shaver Media Group sponsored a fundraiser Tuesday night at Jakes Sports Bar to raise money for River Valley Child Development Center.

River Valley is a childcare facility for early childhood education. Its mission is to provide high quality early

Shaver Media Group is raising money for RVCDC’s Tuition Investment Program Support scholarship. According to the RVCDC website, the TIP scholarship helps provide partial financial assistance to families who are pursuing financial stability through higher education or work and are no longer eligible for subsidy through the Learning Individual Need

Knowledge and Skills programs.

Miranda Pemberton, codirector of the Shaver Media Group, said the cost of childcare at River Valley for one child is $4.42 per hour, which means $35.37 a day and $176.87 a week.

“Our money helps them be able to bring more children in so that way they can also learn,” Pemberton said.

All proceeds made at Jakes went to offset the cost of Shaver Media Group’s main event, Trivia Night, which will be April 5 at the Big Sandy Arena.

“Having nights like here at Jakes helps offset that cost so that we don’t have to worry about taking too much of the money to pay for other things and we can raise a whole lot more money for the children,”

Kim also is a two-time world champion.

Alternative spring break gives students a chance to give back to environment

By CHAZZ THOMAS

THE PARTHENON The application deadline for the alternative spring break to York River, Va., hosted by Marshall University’s Housing and Residence Life, is 5 p.m. Friday.

Students will leave March 16 and return March 22. While in York River, they will help clean up rivers and trails.

To offset the cost of the trip, students participated are asked to pay $100 while the remaining cost of the trip, $300, will be covered by residence life and students activities. Students should also bring spending money to compensate for food purchased on the way to Virginia and for any souvenirs they wish to buy.

The selection process will be based on questions answered on the application. Selections will primarily be based on students’ rationale for going on the trip.

The trip was organized to give students an alternative to traditional spring break activities.

Amy Lorenz, the assistant director of housing and residence life, is the official chaperone for the trip.

“The big reason we put it together was to give students an opportunity to do something different for their spring break and give back,” Lorenz said, “I’m hoping that it plants a seed and they will want to do service and value spending their free time on others. Also the environment is such a hot topic and this is a easy cheap way to get involved.”

The selected applicants will take a 15-passenger van on the trip, and stay in a camper along the river. The trip will consist of outdoors activities such as hiking and canoeing as well as a possible visit to nearby Colonial Williamsburg. The activities were organized through the American Hiking Association.

Poster show encourages sustainable living

By MEGAN OSBORNE

THE PARTHENON Students, faculty and staff were given the opportunity to explore ways to make more sustainable decisions at a poster show co-hosted by the Sustainability Department and the Housing and Residence Life sustainability committee.

All who attended were encouraged to sign the Green Pledge, a document created to give tangible goals for students

to accomplish to become more conscious with energy, waste, water and transportation.

“Whether they live in the dorms, in an apartment or in a house, they can be more energy conscious,” Margie Phillips, sustainability manager of the sustainability department said.

All aspects encompassed in the Green Pledge were represented at the event. Shower timers were given out to help with water conservation as

well as LED nightlights to demonstrate good energy habits.

The Eco-Cycle Bike loan program located in the Marshall Campus Recreation Center was there to represent green transportation. Students can check out a bike free of charge with a student ID during regular rec center hours.

“All these initiatives came about by student ideas,” Phillips said.

“That’s what the whole greening Marshall committee is about.”

According to Phillips, the department was founded in 2008 when a group of students petitioned President Stephen J. Kopp for a sustainability department. The Board of Governors approved it and students have since paid a $5 green fee with tuition. The money goes to fund the programs such as the water bottle fill stations, the bike loan program, and the student gardens.

The student gardens include

the vegetable garden behind career services, a rooftop garden on the science building, a butterfly garden next to Buskirk Hall, and a rain garden.

The vegetable garden was the first to be created and was an idea from the Dean of Student Affairs Steve Hensley.

Specialist for the Environmental Health and Safety Department Travis Bailey demonstrated how storm water runs off into rivers using

sprinkles and a spray bottle on a miniature landscape.

The storm water program on campus helps educate students as to what happens to storm water when it goes down the drain and why it’s important.

“It doesn’t magically disappear,” Baily said.

Bailey said the storm water initiative on campus is working to put in permeable pavers and

Marshall football announces 2014 recruiting class

By WILL VANCE

SPORTS EDITOR After one of the Thundering Herd’s best seasons in recent memory, head coach Doc Holliday and his staff have given Herd fans even more reason to be hopeful with a deep and talented 2014 recruiting class.

“I think if you look at our recruiting class, I think we met our needs,” Holliday said. “That’s the important thing.”

The class is made up of 28 recruits, including four mid-year enrollees. Marshall’s class is once again rated as the best in Conference USA and among the best of any non-power conference school.

“I don’t think there’s any doubt that our goal every year is to have the best recruiting class in the conference,” Holliday said. “Chances are that if you continue to have the best class in

the conference than you are going to have the best players in the conference, and it’s a personnel driven game.”

Strengthening both sides of line was a point of emphasis for the Herd in 2014, signing six players listed as defensive lineman and five players listed as offensive lineman. The class will also include four wide receivers, three each of safeties, linebackers and cornerbacks and one running back, quarterback and tight end.

For Holliday and his staff, getting to know players and assessing them past the measurable is key.

“More goes into recruiting players than stars and height and weight and all that,” Holliday said.

“It’s important that we get guys that have big ol’ hearts that love football. When you talk about the Tommy Shuler’s and Corey Tindel’s of the world, they have ‘it,’ that ‘it’ factor. As a coach you look for that it.”

A.J. Addison

OL, 6-6, 290 Ruther Glen, Va. Addison is a midyear enrollee. He can bench press 315 pounds. He received offers from Maryland, Virginia Tech and several other major contenders across the country. He plans to major in business.

Emanuel Beal

WR, 6-1, 200 Powder Springs, Ga. Beal had offers from several SEC schools. In his last season as a high school player he had 10 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns, despite missing five games. Beal runs the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds.

Ryan Bee

DL, 6-7, 245 Ashland, Ohio Bee had 22 tackles for a loss, 15 sacks and 20 catches for eight touchdowns in his senior year. He is a two-sport athlete at his high school, where he plays football and basketball.

Fedrice "Fred" Binot

OL, 6-3, 252 Lakeland, Fla. Binot played tackle at his high school. However, he is projected to be an inside offensive lineman with the Herd. He attends the same high school as Remi Watson. He was listed as preseason top 20 Florida interior offensive line prospect.

Alex Cason

WR, 6-2, 180 Valdosta, Ga. Cason had offers from Cincinnati, Middle Tennessee and several other schools as well. He comes from the same high school as Jermaine Homes and Jarquez Samuel. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.69 seconds.

Nathaniel Devers

OL, 6-3, 261 Massillon, Ohio This recruit is staying close to home. Ranked No. 7 center in America.

Jordan Dowrey

OL, 6-1, 270 Winchester, Va. Dowrey had 109 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss and 4.5 sacks in his senior season. Dowrey was a four-year starter for his school. He runs a 5.0 40-yard dash. He also participates in wrestling and the track and field teams at his high school

Hyleck Foster

WR, 5-11, 186 Gaffney, S.C. Foster had 230 carries for 1,548 yards and 30 touchdowns and 35 catches for three touchdowns in his senior year. He runs the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds and has a 34-inch vertical. Foster also participates in baseball and basketball at his high school.

Kendall Gant

S, 6-3, 184 Lakeland, Fla. Gant is ranked as the No. 39 safety in America. He had committed to Georgia in July, but later switched his commitment to the Herd.

In his senior season, he had 48 tackles, five interceptions, four pass breakups and two tacks for loss.

For many of Marshall’s 2014 recruits, versatility makes their listed position little but a formality. Maurice Hall, a 6-foot 3-inch, 225 pound player listed as a linebacker, played everything from quarterback to fullback to wide receiver and had an impressive seven kick-off returns for touchdowns his senior year of high school.

Another such recruit is Donquell “Gator” Green, a 5-foot 8-inch, 160 pound quarterback who was overlooked by larger schools because of his size, despite being named one of the top 11 players in the state of Georgia by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“He’s a quarterback but he can play a lot of places,” Holliday said. “He can be a slot receiver, he can return kicks, he can return punts. He’s just a good football player. So where he end’s up, I don’t know.”

After several recruiting classes dominated by

Cole Garvin

QB, 6-1, 200 Tyrone, Ga. Garvin is a midyear enrollee. He had a 39-2-1 record as his schools starting quarterback and was a part of two state championship teams.

He completed 134 of 196 passes for 2,169 yards and 19 touchdowns with only four interceptions in his 2013 season.

Donquell "Gator" Green

WR, 5-8, 160 Waynesboro, Ga. The Herd has a new Gator. He had offers from Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Middle Tennessee. Green played quarterback in high school but will join the Herd as a utility player. We can expect to play as a wide receiver.

Maurice Hall

LB, 6-3, 225 St. Petersburg, Fla. Hall decommitted from the Golden Knights to join the Herd. He played almost every position for his high school but was best as a kick returner. Hall runs a 4.4 40-yard dash and has a 37-inch vertical.

LaDerrick Hammond

S, 6-2, 175 Louisville, Ga. Hammond had 108 tackles, six pass breakups, three tackles for a loss, three interceptions and one forced fumble for Jefferson County in 2013. He is a two-sport athlete at his high school, where he plays basketball, as well.

Kaleb Harris

LB, 6-3, 207 Creston, Ohio Harris starred at his high school as a wide receiver and defensive back, but he plans to tradition to tight end or outside linebacker in college. He helped lead his team to its 2011 Division IV state title in Ohio. Harris runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds.

Nyquan Harris

DL, 6-2, 310 Norfolk, Va. Harris had offers from Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, Virginia Tech and many other schools. He had 11 sacks in his 2013 season. He can bench press 385 pounds and squat 405. His nickname is “Big Money and Harris plans to major in special education.

Frankie Hernandez

Floridians, Holliday and his staff expanded and strengthened their recruiting base. Though Florida was still well represented with eight recruits, an equal number came from Georgia, with several more coming from Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina.

“Those five states have all been really good to us,” Holliday said. “Those are the five states we’re going to continue to hit.”

The expansion can be largely attributed to Holliday’s staff, headed up by recruiting coordinator and tight ends coach Todd Hartley.

“Todd did a tremendous job,” Holliday said. “I can’t say enough about how much he has brought to the team becoming recruiting director.”

Holliday and his coaching staff will now have some well deserved down time before spring practices begin in April.

Will Vance can be contacted at vance162@ marshall.edu.

Donaldven Manning

DB, 5-10, 181 Miami, Fla. Manning spent last season sitting out at Virginia Tech and will be eligible to play in the fall. He had four tackles and one interception in eight games for Tech in 2012.

EDITORIAL

Free education is not impossible Ask students everywhere what the worst thing about college is and among answers like exams and hard professors, the cost is sure to be listed.

It’s no secret the price of higher education is increasing. States cut school’s budgets leading to tuition increases, a rise in textbook prices and once student’s graduate, they must find a way to pay off student loans without drowning in debt.

As the West Virginia legislature plans to cut Marshall University’s budget yet again this year, the governor of Tennessee has a different plan in mind for higher education.

Under the proposal by Gov. Bill Haslam, two years of community and technical school would be free for all in-state students.

You heard right. Free tuition for all students.

As long as a student has a high school diploma or the equivalent, they would be guaranteed a free education for two years, no matter what their financial aid status is or academic standing.

This means students could get all their general requirements filled for free. Students can get a degree for free.

Of course, there are other costs like books, but the Pell and other grants can also help pay for that. For a student who doesn’t have any financial aid, cutting $3,300 from the budget is still a great help.

This will lead to a more educated workforce with the state of Tennessee only taking a $34 million hit a year, which would

be paid for from surplus lottery revenue.

What if this happened in West Virginia?

People who lost a coal mining job or a steel job could go back to school, for free, and train for a new one.

West Virginians who feel that higher education is out of reach because of finances, would have a chance to better themselves.

Students could graduate from four year colleges sooner because of the ability to take two years at community college for free.

Higher education is a necessity in the world today, but the lack of respect it gets from lawmakers is unnerving. It’s nice to see that Tennessee is taking steps to better its people and give them the power of an education.

Take note, West Virginia.

GUEST COLUMNIST For Russians here and back home, it is an exciting moment as we prepare for the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

The Olympic games will run from Feb. 7-23. The official slogan of the event is “Hot, Cool, Yours”.

The games in Sochi 2014 are going to be full of new facilities and will show a new character of Russia. I can admit that it is going to be a really unusual Olympic games for all tourists and Russians.

Sochi is one of the biggest cities in the Russian Federation, which is known for its beautiful tropical nature. The games in Sochi will be in a unique climate zone, where the warm waters of the Black Sea and the snowy Caucasus Mountains come together.

I am a Russian citizen, who is studying abroad here at Marshall University and it is a beautiful feeling when you can support two completely different countries.

The Russian government and security forces will provide a high level of protection for all citizens, tourists and participants. During the Games, people must have certain documents that will give them a green light to enter to the city.

Unfortunately, due to some recent violence in Russia, Sochi has generated more concerns than previous Olympic games.

It is so hard to convince participants to keep calm and focus on their performances, but President Barack Obama has said the Olympic games are safe, ready to begin and meet all participants.

Two other Russian students at Marshall are following the Olympics closely.

“I am also Russian and I have read many reports about security in Sochi 2014,” Anastasia Semenchenko, an INTO MU student, said. “I can say that Russian government, president and security departments are working so hard to provide maximum safety.”

Many people have thoughts about security issues and terrorist attacks in Russia and have some doubts about Sochi 2014.

“Olympic Games 2014 in Russian is so important for our president and he will do anything to protect his people and reputation of Sochi 2014,” Anton Istigechev, an INTO MU student said.

COLUMN

US hits the lowest abortion rate since Roe v. Wade CHICAGO TRIBUNE (MCT) As president, Bill Clinton often stated his view that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare,” a summation that reflected the public’s generally mixed feelings. Abortion rights opponents would certainly agree on the last goal, as would many abortion rights supporters. So the latest news on the prevalence of abortion in America should elicit approval from people who often disagree.

Between 2008 and 2011, says a new study by the Guttmacher Institute, the abortion rate fell by 13 percent, to the lowest level since 1973, when the Supreme Court made its landmark decision in Roe v. Wade. The total number of abortions declined by the same proportion. There were nearly half a million fewer abortions in 2011 than in 1991.

All this didn’t happen by accident. The shifts “coincided with a steep national drop in overall pregnancy and birth rates,” according to co-author Rachel Jones. She speculates that the weak economy induced some women to avoid or delay having kids. Earlier research by Guttmacher indicates that teenagers today are waiting longer to begin having sex — and are more likely than past adolescents to use some type of contraception when they do.

More young women are relying on birth control, particularly long-acting methods like the IUD and implants. In 2002, says the Guttmacher report, only 2 percent of contraceptive users used these options, but in 2001, 9 percent did.

These long-acting contraceptives, says the study, “are more than 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancy, last 3-12 years and, unlike methods such as the pill, leave little to no room for user error.” Unwanted pregnancies, of course, are more likely than planned ones to end in deliberate termination.

Abortion-rights opponents have tried to reduce the number of abortions by enacting new

restrictions and requirements — waiting periods, mandatory counseling, forbidding “partialbirth abortions.” While these could dissuade or prevent some patients from undergoing abortions, the researchers note that abortion rates fell especially fast in several states that didn’t impose such rules — including Illinois, where the rate plunged by 18 percent. Many of the regulations came about only in the second half of 2011, greatly reducing any potential impact.

Another factor may play a bigger role: evolving attitudes about abortion and related subjects. The willingness of some states to pass restrictions suggests that in those places, the public is less likely to see abortion as a valid option.

In addition, the incentives for abortion have diminished. The onetime disgrace attached to out-of-wedlock births is largely gone. So is any stigma attached to giving up an infant for adoption. Changes like these have made abortion less appealing to women who didn’t want to get pregnant in the first place.

Young people are also more likely to find abortion morally troublesome. A Gallup poll last year found that Americans aged 18-34 are more likely than any other age group to say abortion should be illegal in all circumstances. Public opinion analyst Karlyn Bowman of the conservative American Enterprise Institute cites the influence of prenatal sonograms: “Many young people have seen a picture of their younger brother or sister” in the womb.

It’s possible for Americans to favor access to abortion while feeling more regard for the value of the fetus. Legal abortion has been a fact of life in America for four decades now, and in spite of continuing public debate, it will remain so. But if fewer women see the procedure as something they need or want for themselves, it will keep growing less common. And it’s hard to see how anyone can object to that.

Textbook sticker shock causes students to leave books on the shelves

By KATY MURPHY

THE OAKLAND TRIBUNE (MCT) Despite new technologies and a 2012 California law promising college students relief from soaring textbook costs, students’ bookstore spending is higher than ever — now about $1,200 for books and supplies.

And a new survey shows that students are responding with a cost-cutting measure that could seriously hurt their grades: They’re leaving the costly textbooks on the shelf. Two-thirds of college students surveyed said that they hadn’t bought a required textbook at least once because it was too expensive, according to a national report released Monday by the Student Public Interest Research Groups, a coalition of statewide student organizations.

“I had to borrow from friends sometimes,” said Caroline O’Callahan, a University of California, Berkeley, junior from Redwood City who didn’t buy a biology textbook last semester that cost about $120. “It was tricky because I was relying on lectures and notes of my own.”

Some professors use opensource materials for their courses, but others select books that are regularly updated, making used copies hard to come by.

College bookstores commonly offer rentals, but those prices can be steep: It costs $88.92 to rent a used physics textbook from the UC Berkeley campus bookstore and $185 to buy it new.

Between 2002 and 2012, textbook prices shot up 82 percent, nearly three times the rate of inflation, in part because of quizzes

and other online applications often included, according to the federal Government Accountability Office.

Two California laws meant to ease the pain have languished unfunded for nearly a year. The pair of open-access textbook laws by state Sen. President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg — Senate Bills 1052 and 1053 — promised to help by making available faculty-approved online textbooks for 50 popular college courses, starting this academic year. But the project got off to a late start because of a funding delay, and students will have to wait at least until next January for the first books to hit the open-access library managed by the California State University system.

A faculty council charged with finding or developing free materials for UC, CSU and community college courses — and then urging professors to assign them — was to hold its first meeting this week.

“One of the goals of this project is to get the word out to people that there are good materials available,” said Bill Jacob, chairman of the UC system’s Academic Senate.

Jacob said he has used opensource textbooks for years in his math classes at UC Santa Barbara — often assigning a collection of out-of-print books posted online with the authors’ consent. But that approach takes time.

“You have to go out and find them,” he said.

As more colleges create openaccess digital libraries — and

UC Berkeley junior and integrated biology major Steven Ilko shops for textbooks at the student store in Berkeley, Calif., Jan. 27. develop new, open-source textbooks — that task should become easier, he said.

San Jose State’s library runs a campaign to encourage the faculty to use free or low-cost texts.

SJSU students spend an average of $750 per year on books, and 70 percent reported not buying a textbook because of the cost, according to the campus.

The program saved 3,289 students about $90,883 — $28 each, on average — in the spring of 2013, SJSU estimates.

A larger initiative at Rice University in Texas — OpenStax College — reported last spring it had saved 40,000 students $3.7 million, and that 300 institutions had signed up for its free, peer-reviewed materials for the 2013-14 year.

A Statistics I textbook, which typically costs $90 used and $150 new, would be free for the 120,000 California students who take the course each semester if their professors used the OpenStax version available

Second half rally not enough against ECU

By DEREK MAY

THE PARTHENON The Marshall University women’s basketball team was defeated by the East Carolina University Pirates 66-52 Wednesday night at the Cam Henderson Center.

The Pirates, who improved to 19-3 overall and 7-2 in Conference-USA, and have won six of the last seven meetings with the Herd, jumped out to an early 8-0 lead until Marshall scored its first basket at the 16:16 mark of the first half. Early and often ECU was able to establish a presence down low, outscoring the Herd 22-4 in the paint in the first half.

ECU took a 40-19 lead going into halftime.

“I can see tremendous growth as a team” Matt Daniels, head coach for Marshall, said. “We have lost eight in a row, but I don’t think our record reflects how good of a basketball team we are and the type of basketball we are so close to playing.”

Early in the second half, Marshall came out with some spark, going on an 18-7 run and cutting the lead down to 37-47. During the run, the Herd was shooting 46.7 percent from the field. ECU

Beth Hendricks, director of marketing and social media for Goodwill, helped students “upcycle” old t-shirts into scarves, bracelets, headbands, necklaces and vests.

“Goodwill is the original recycling,” Hendricks said.

The organization recycles everything from books, electronics, paper, cardboard and clothing. The proceeds from selling the secondhand merchandise also goes to support Goodwill’s programs.

“If we can’t sell it in the store, we bale it and ship it

came out of the halftime break ice cold, shooting a blistering 3-15 from the field including 0-5 from behind the arc.

However, the pirates were able to get out of its early second half slump going on a 19-2 run in the last eight minutes of the game. East Carolina got a lot of production from its junior forward, Shae Nelson, producing 24 points and six rebounds.

“I know we can play. Our activity level will decide our success as well as our mental focus,” Daniel said. “We are going to continue to battle and close out every game.”

For the first time since the 2012 season, Marshall failed to have a player score in doubledigits. Aja Sorrells led the Herd with nine points, while Suporia Dickens and Chelsey Romero had eight a piece.

Marshall is 7-14 in the season, and 0-8 in C-USA. Riding an eight game losing streak, the Herd takes on Louisiana Tech Saturday, with a 1 p.m. tip-off. The Thundering Herd will be in search of its first conference win of the season.

Tiffany Hughes and Sarah Martin, co-chairs of the sustainability committee and organizers of the event, said they felt confident that the Green Pledge has reached out across campus.

“Our goal is to get the word out to not only students in the residence halls but those off campus and on campus faculty and staff,” Hughes said.

“Everybody knows about it now and the things that are available on campus even if they don’t live here.”

Jacob said California faculty will review the OpenStax textbooks, and others. Florez said he hopes faculty leaders approve them ahead of schedule — by early April, when professors adopt their books for the fall term.

CUTS

Continued from Page 1 “If we continue to make these cuts, then we will not only drive Marshall and other public institutions toward a more private model, but our mission will have to change too,” Matthew Turner, chief of staff, said. “We cannot continue to offer tuition at the rate it is now if there is reduction in public funding.”

Jan. 6, Marshall received a mid-year cut of 1 percent, which amounts to more than $700,000. Marshall has attempted to absorb these cuts by not filling in certain positions it has left empty or on hold. It is also looking at new budget models to help adapt to major upcoming cuts.

F WHEN AMERICA MET THE BEATLES Ed Sullivan rocked America 50 years ago with the Fab Four.

THE PARTHENON Despite the green light

by West Virginia American Water, residents are still exhibiting signs of distrust and disapproval when it comes to drinking the water served to patrons in Charleston area restaurants.

Although many restaurants have resorted to serving and cooking with bottled water in order to keep patrons from being fearful of ingesting the MCHM chemical, residents of the affected counties are not eating out like they did before the Freedom Industries chemical spill.

Kanawha County resident, Charles Cooper, said he doesn’t have any interest in dining out now or in the near future due to his distrust of the safety of the water.

“I haven’t eaten out since the spill,” Cooper said. “I probably won’t ever, or for a long while, order any pasta dishes or things that I know that are boiled in the water.”

Leslie Jackson, a frequent restaurant diner in Kanawha County, said she has little interest in eating food that is not prepared in the safety of her own kitchen.

“With the uncertainty I personally feel about the water quality and situation, I have chosen for me and my family not to eat or drink at any local restaurant that is not using bottled water

for their food preparation,” Jackson said.

With this long lasting public concern about the quality of water that restaurants are using to serve and cook with, restaurants still continue to suffer the aftermath of the spill.

Matthew Scarberry, manager of Vandalia Grill in Charleston, said the restaurant is slowly starting to get back to normal but is still taking steps to make customers feel safe about eating and drinking at the restaurant.

“We are still using bottled water to cook with and to make drinks,” Scarberry said. “We have been steadily building back up. but our servers got hit hard. Our sales dropped, but they’re starting to come back now.”

As a result of widespread public fear, the restaurant servers are paying the price with their tips.

“We live off of tips,” Chelsie Sigmon, server at Longhorn restaurant in Charleston, said. “Servers only make $2.13 an hour.

When people don’t tip, we don’t make money.”

Although the system flushing has been completed throughout all affected counties, restaurants are still taking precautionary steps to provide a safe dining experience for their patrons and to change the negative outlook on dining.

ifty years ago Sunday, on Feb. 9, 1964, via “The Ed Sullivan Show,” America met the Beatles.

It was not the group’s first appearance on American television.

CBS News had reported, dismissively, on British “Beatlemania,” and Jack Paar had aired on his talk show a clip of the band playing in England. Their music was in the charts, finally: After a year of outright refusal, Capitol Records (an American arm of EMI, the Beatles’ British label) was finally releasing and promoting their records. In “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” the band had its first U.S. No. 1 About 3,000 fans greeted the Fab Four at the airport when they arrived in New York two days earlier.

But the Sullivan show was different. The TV version of vaudeville’s “playing the Palace,” it conferred a seal of approval, even of importance, on the acts that appeared there. On the air since the dawn of the medium and watched regularly by many millions, it was a national institution, a family tradition. (“Hymn for a Sunday Evening,” from the 1960 musical “Bye Bye, Birdie,” is a meditation on his very name.)

The Beatles would have happened here whether they played “The Ed Sullivan Show” or not. Indeed, for many the only reason the show is remembered is that the Beatles were on it, but they might not have happened so explosively, so definitively, so fast. Their first appearance on the show, which they both opened and closed, was estimated to have been seen by a record-breaking 73 million viewers, or one in three Americans, and they appeared the next week as well, remote from Miami Beach, and the week after that, on videotape.

Not everyone who watched was

MARSHALLPARTHENON.COM converted, of course. If they were relatively friendly revolutionaries, with their pressed suits and bemused grins and professional politesse and their malt-shop lyrics, they were revolutionaries nonetheless. Their energy was fearsome, their wit sharp and their hair, by local standards, was for some confusingly long.

Now that everything is at our fingertips, a swipe or click away at any moment anywhere, it is hard to conceive of the effect they once had. The revolution had actually been televised then. In a media world that requires a surfeit of “news,” appearances by musicians are still talked about, especially if in some ways outrageous. (What Will Miley Do?) But the world does not change overnight, as it seemed to in February 1964, when, legend has it, legions of kids ran out and bought Rickenbacker guitars and Cuban-heeled boots, grew their hair and started writing songs.

The importance of that moment to the group’s American fortunes was underscored by Capitol using images from the “Sullivan” show on the covers of “The Beatles’ Second Album,” released in April, and “Something New,” which came out in July. But television appearances, from teen-pop shows to Morecambe and Wise’s popular British comedy-variety series, had already played an important part in their career, building them through 1963 into household names in Britain, where they were regarded as lovable lads and invited to play for the queen.

They are, to be sure, an institution now themselves. Though still working, enviably vigorous and recognizably themselves, the surviving Beatles are in their 70s now.

One of them lets himself be called “Sir Paul.”

It’s easy to overstate the

influence of a pop band on history, and yet it is hard to understate the importance of this one. They weren’t necessarily the best band at all things. But no other group mixed talent and ambition, curiosity and opportunity, elegance and approachability, ease and urgency, to such a degree, or so attractively.

As a unit, they contained all the tensions that would ultimately break them apart; but while they held together, the mix was powerful.

Paul and Ringo sang together last week as old bandmates and permanent Beatles. It was lovely and moving. And if it didn’t change the world, well, they had done that already.
