THE PARTHENON The Huntington Museum of Art will welcome Brooke Atherton, a nationally recognized artist, Sept. 8 at 7p.m.

Atherton will be discussing her work at the event. The occasion is free and open to the public. It will be held in one of the lecture halls at the Huntington Museum of Art. “It’s always a really enlightening experience to hear firsthand from these visiting artists and why they do what they do, how they do it, and how they came to be making this kind of work,” John Farley, assistant curator at the museum said.

Art quilts and mixed media works by Atherton

Atherton’s art quilts are made from layers of silk, cotton and wool from

events like this.

“We have brought in some of the biggest names in contemporary art through this program. We are extremely fortunate here,” — John Farley, assistant curator at the HMoA canvas backings. She manipulates the fabric and then fuses and stitches extensively into the fabric.

The museum urges Marshall students and others in the community to come to

their field. I think that it is a very valuable resource that I think that people should take advantage of.”

Brooke Atherton will also be doing a three-day workshop in one of the studios behind

the museum Sept. 9 to Sept.

11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. called “Crossing Media: Art of the Mix.” A workshop fee is $325 for non-members of the museum, $275 for members, $250 for teachers, and $200 for students. This fee includes a meet-and-greet with the artist, first day breakfast and lunch daily afterwards.

THE PARTHENON The Marshall University Honors College will host their 6th annual DaVinci Lecture, featuring the bestselling author and media critic Lev Grossman, Friday, Sept. 9.

“The idea was to bring in a speaker of high caliber,” said Dr. Nicki LoCascio, associate dean of the Honors College.

The DaVinci Lecture is presented by the Office of the Provost, the Honors College and Phi Kappa Phi. LoCascio said the program has changed this year, as there will be a Friday luncheon at noon prior to the lecture for students and faculty to meet Grossman.

Previously, the luncheon was held on Saturday afternoon for only faculty, which had a smaller turnout according to LoCascio.

“Our RSVP’s have been much higher this time.

There should be a better turnout this year than years previous,” LoCascio said.

LoCascio said the location of previous lectures usually corresponded with the amount of interest and level of attendance at the lectures. Previously, the DaVinci lecture was hosted in the Visual Arts Center, and the level of student and

community involvement increased drastically. This year, the lecture will be held in the Brad D. Smith Foundation Hall at 7 p.m.

“We’ve tended to go towards the artistic side,” LoCascio said. “But we’re very excited to have someone who appeals to science and English alike.”

LoCascio said Grossman’s name sparked interest when other honors college faculty began talking about him and his novels.

According to a University Communications press release, Grossman has “covered most of the cultural and technological changes that have occurred” within his ten years of writing for Time magazine. He is also the author of the Magicians trilogy that has become a TV series on SyFy. The DaVinci Lecture will be the Honors College’s signature event for the upcoming investiture, which will include multiple university events from September 8-23. Each college will showcase their program through an event or activity, and LoCascio said the DaVinci Lecture will be a good way to start the program.

HMAF 72 Hour Film Challenge Rec Center Outdoor Trips

By RICK FARLOW

By KRISLYN HOLDEN

THE PARTHENON Huntington Music and Arts Festival partnered with Brainwrap Productions and Arts Resources for the Tri-State to host a 72-hour film challenge that was presented Wednesday, Aug. 31 at the ARTS Renaissance Center in Huntington.

Film production teams had from Thursday to Sunday to create a short film using only a phrase. After an action verb and a noun was drawn, teams had to create a movie that was less than seven minutes long relating to those words.

Fourteen short films were created with the word combinations, which included “exposed lovers,” “defend hammer,” “attempt darkness,” “mediate alien,”

“lose tennis shoe,” “kill lipstick,” “solve ditch,” “construct anime,” “destroy high ground,” “nurture steering wheel,” “forgot belly,” “challenge fence,” “deliver necklace” and “repair river.” Director of film studies at Marshall University, Walter Squire, gave awards to the special mentioned and to the first and second place winners.

“I was asked by Ian Nolte, who is a faculty member [to judge],” Squire said. “Last spring, we were just talking at the end of the year and he said something about the thought that he might try to organize a 72-hour film challenge. Previously we talked about judging such events like this and when he asked me if I was interested in judging I said of course I would.”

The special mentioned award went to “Attempting Darkness Twice,” which used the words “attempt darkness,” and was produced with toy Legos.

In second place was “Sick,” which used the words “nurture steering wheel,” and was about a man caring for his car after a loved one passed.

In first place was “River Dolphin,” which used the words “repair river,” and was about a person seeing a dolphin in the Ohio River.

“It was very short, but really funny,” Nora Decker, an audience member, said of the first place winner. “It was creative, spontaneous, and really cute.”

“I get really excited. Excited to see the work that people are doing and lots of

young film makers,” Squire said. “Other people have been making stuff and putting it on YouTube, but it’s different when having a group of people watching it.

People can talk to them and they can find out people’s reaction. You can read people’s comments on YouTube, but it’s different.”

This was the first year that the Huntington Music and Arts Festival has done an event like this. Squire said he hopes that it will continue.

“This seemed to be a big hit,” Squire said. “There was a big draw both in terms of how many people committed and competed and it was a good turnout.”

Bill Cosby could get trial date at evidence hearing Tuesday

By MARYCLAIRE DALE

ASSOCIATED PRESS The shape of Bill Cosby’s felony sexual assault trial could become clearer at a hearing Tuesday when his lawyers fight to keep out key evidence, including nearly 1,000 pages of damaging testimony he gave in the accuser’s lawsuit.

Cosby, 79, is charged with drugging and molesting a woman he mentored at Temple University in 2004.

His lawyers will ask a suburban Philadelphia judge to suppress testimony from the 2005 lawsuit, when accuser Andrea Constand said she was left semi-conscious and Cosby said he was “not stopped.”

And they want to bar jurors from hearing a taped phone call between Cosby and Constand’s mother, when the long-beloved celebrity and morals champion fears he will sound like “a dirty old man with a young girl.”

The criminal charges were filed in December, months after Cosby’s testimony in the woman’s lawsuit was unsealed and a new prosecutor reopened the case.

Cosby, in the deposition, admitted to a series of extramarital affairs and described giving numerous women drugs and alcohol before what he called romantic “rendezvous.” Some were in their teens or early 20s.

Defense lawyers argue that

Cosby was promised he would never be charged, so he felt free to testify in Constand’s lawsuit.

However, a judge this year found he was never granted immunity.

The comedian known as America’s Dad for the top-rated “The Cosby Show” — which captured the amusing travails of fatherhood and painted a warm picture of black family life during its 1984 to 1992 run — now finds himself spending his time and fortune defending tawdry accusations. Dozens of women who accuse him of similar conduct say his arrest was a long time coming.

Cosby’s defenders instead suggest he is a wealthy target for the many women he met during five decades as an A-list celebrity.

“None of us will ever want to be in the position of attacking a victim. But the question should be asked — who is the victim?” his wife, Camille, asked as more accusers came forward in 2014.

In his deposition, Cosby said he developed a crush on Constand “probably the first time I saw her” at Temple’s arena. He was a university trustee while she managed the women’s basketball team.

When she visited his home one night in early 2004 to discuss a career change, Cosby found her stressed and gave her three unmarked pills. Constand thought it was an herbal

Cosby described the sexual encounter that followed, when Constand said she was floating in and out of consciousness: “I got her skin and ... it’s just above where you can go under the pants,” he said in the deposition. “I don’t hear her say anything. And I don’t feel her say anything. And so I continue and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection. I am not stopped.”

Cosby was also asked about the phone call a year later with Constand’s mother in Toronto.

Cosby said he dodged her questions because he feared

he was being recorded.

“I didn’t want to talk about, ‘What did you give her?’” he said in the deposition. “And I’m apologizing because I’m thinking this is a dirty old man with a young girl. I apologized. I said to the mother it was digital penetration.”

Cosby now wants both the deposition and the tape of the phone call suppressed. District Attorney Kevin Steele will fight to use them at trial. Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Steven O’Neill is expected to hear arguments on one or both issues Tuesday, and perhaps set a trial date. Cosby has so far lost his motions to have the charges thrown out.

THE PARTHENON The Marshall University Recreation Center is offering multiple outdoor adventure trips for students during the 2016-17 school year.

Trips are frequent, with approximately 20 national trips and four local trips taken throughout the year. Local trips allow students to participate in outdoor activities such as backpacking, rock climbing and white water rafting at the New River and Red River gorges. The national trips can venture further away to the Grand Canyon and Rocky Mountain National Park.

There will be four national trips for the 2016-17 year. This year’s national trips include backpacking and camping trips in the Smokey Mountains in November, Cumberland Islands, Georgia for spring break, Rocky Mountain National Park in May and Acadia National Park in August.

“We design these trips as beginner and intermediate experiences that include students looking to gain more adventure-rec experience.

We offer a lot of local outings and we mix in a few

bigger, nationally recognized locations,” said Chad Steen, assistant director of adventure recreation.

The trips are available for Marshall students primarily, however, non-students are welcome. All of the trips come with fees. For local trips, fees can be up to $50, while national trips can be up to $500.

“These trips are all-inclusive. We’re providing you with your equipment, food and we teach cooking and other skills you’d need to use in the back country,” said Steen.

In 2016 from May 21-26, the Rec Center hosted a national trip to the Grand Canyon. The trip included a 30-hour road trip from Huntington to the Grand Canyon. During the visit to the canyon, the group hiked and camped in the Grand Canyon for about three days.

“We spent about four hours looking around the canyon and the visitor area,” said Kris Black, team leader of Adventure Recreation. “I, for one, have never seen a more majestic and picturesque scene in my life. It was almost unreal.”

UKirkWelcomesNewMinisters

BY OLIVIA ZARILLA

THE PARTHENON Several new leaders have joined Marshall University’s campus as part of the Campus Christian Center’s University Church this semester.

Claire Butler, John Yeager and Rob Laukoter all have different roles in UKIRK, but have similar reasons for becoming part of Marshall’s campus.

Butler said she really enjoys having the opportunity to be in a space with college students who are discovering new aspects of their faith and want to have a place to come and talk about their faith. And also to have a space for people who may not have grown up in the faith, but are curious about what it means to be a Christian on a college campus.

Laukoter, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant, has been in the ministry for over 23 years, serving at the PCC for more than 16 years.

“I have a great heart for college students,” Laukoter said.

“It’s a time in their lives when they get exposed to a wide variety of beliefs and very different views of the world than most of them have ever encountered. I believe that part of my role would be to help them think through the issues and see that the Christian

faith, more than other any worldview, offers the most thoughtful, comprehensive and coherent understanding of the most basic of human questions: our origins, meaning in life, morality and our destiny.”

Yeager, commissioned ruling elder, said he often learns from students and enjoys their openness.

“The energy, the excitement and willingness of young people to be open to hearing God’s word motivates me to keep doing what I’m doing,” said Yeager.

Butler said she believes it is comforting for students to have a safe place to go to on campus, which is one reason why she joined UKIRK at Marshall.

“I know what it meant to me to have a place like UKIRK when I was in college,” said Butler. “That was definitely a time in my life when I began to see my faith transition from the faith that was instilled in me by my parents to really understanding what it meant for me to be a person of faith.

To know that those campus ministers have an open-door policy if [students] just need someone to come and talk to, that’s another reason why we’re here.”

Huntington Music and Arts Festival Student 2016: a recap

BY NATHAN THOMAS THE PARTHENON

Festival founder Ian Thornton has come a long way since booking Shamrock’s, and over time, the Huntington Music and Arts Festival is, as it should be, a source of great civic pride. Something to hold up as an example of “this is what’s happening here.”

The festival, and the founder, aren’t the only ones who’ve grown since the festival began. Tyler Childers once performed in an early-afternoon timeslot, this past Saturday, he headlined, his people surrounding him and his band, hanging on to every last word, dancing, swaying, and singing along.

Ona pleased the crowd with a set that included cuts from their debut album American Fiction, as well as a handful of newer songs to tease the audience of what’s to come for the Huntington quintet.

While the perfect version of William Matheny’s band doesn’t get to perform together often, it did convene at

the festival, readying people for the February release of his album Strange Constellations from independent label Misra Records.

Other highlights included sets from John R Miller, The Horse Traders, Tim Lancaster, The Carpenter Ants and Mountain Stage host Larry Groce.

To be surrounded by friends at a beautiful location, on a day filled with blue skies and great music is something special. How could one ask for any more than that? The Huntington Music and Arts Festival is the region’s best locally-focused festival, and the best in West Virginia. Long live the Huntington Music and Arts Festival, and the events surrounding it.

At the V Club after-party, Rozwell Kid frontman Jordan Hudkins altered the lyrics to their song “Kangroo Pocket” to “If I do everything that I should, it’s not as much as Ian does.” Let’s be thankful we’ve got an Ian. Nathan Thomas can be contacted at thomas521@marshall.edu.

MISCONCEPTIONS Join The Parthenon in its efforts to start a feature column series where Marshall University students, faculty and staff can address common misconceptions and misunderstandings of and about their culture, race, ethnicity or religion in written form.

Columns may be submitted to parthenon@marshall.edu and must abide by the “Be Herd” policy listed below the staff directory.

Submission does not guarantee a feature.

College is a time for students to find themselves. They discover their voice, their passions and find ways to stand up for what they believe in. Taking a stand is nearly a given within the college experience. With this mindset, alongside the First Amendment right to freedom of the press, why would it ever be okay for a college to stifle the voice of their student media?

Nestled between stories about the latest on Hillary Clinton’s emails, Donald Trump’s wall-building rhetoric and the most recent feel-good story to draw us away from the ongoing presidential campaign, is a headline that is seemingly miniscule, given what little traction it has received: “U Kentucky is suing its own student newspaper over a sexual assault investigation.”

As journalists, we find this issue to be of severe importance. However, this case should matter to all college students. Why? Because the University of Kentucky would rather sue their own student newspaper than hand over documents pertaining to

multiple sexual assault allegations involving one professor,

the release of documents from the UK Open Records Office.

“Basically, the university is willingly ignoring the laws of the state and a court order to protect their reputation.” and the idea of any university going to those lengths is terrifyingly daunting.

The university announced it would sue the “Kentucky Kernel” over requests for documents involving the investigation of James Harwood, an associate professor of entomology accused of sexual assault and harassment in an investigation spanning seven months, after three years worth of allegations, according to the Kernel.

The Kernel filed an appeal with the Kentucky attorney general in April, requesting

The Kernel reported that it requested “copies of all records detailing the investigation by the university of Kentucky or the Office of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity of James Harwood and any allegations of sexual harassment, sexual assault, or any other misconduct.”

In fact, the state attorney general ruled that UK should release the records with the names and personal identifiers of those involved omitted.

But the university denied the request on the basis that it would be an invasion of

privacy. The refusal is a violation of Kentucky’s Open Records Act, which states the university is not exempt from releasing these records once the investigation is closed — which happened when Harwood resigned.

The sole reason for UK to file their suit is not for monetary damages, but because the suit is the only way for the university to appeal the decision of the attorney general.

Basically, the university is willingly ignoring the laws of the state and a court order to protect their reputation.

When a university puts their image above the safety of their students, they are no longer serving their students at all.

Selfishly choosing to keep such vital information from students is a disservice to the entire UK community. In a society where sexual assaults have become so prevalent, especially in universities, cowering and hiding information should never be the answer. When it comes to student media, we should empower them for seeking the truth rather than attempting to keep them silent.

Letter to the Editor Dear (Editoral Staff,) I wanted to respond to your editorial “ATO plays homeless”. I also am one of the original member to start this endeavor nearly a decade ago. I found your article to be hateful & sophomoric. Not sure if you have been caught up in the divisive election cycle or you just didn’t like to see guys in backwards hats, flipflops and khakis not fit your stereotype and preconceived notions. I would like to address your concerns you raised in your article in first the history, goals and critics.

History: If you faired to look in the archives of the Parthenon papers, you may have noticed that this event was once held during the week prior to Thanksgiving. Members in fact did sleep in cold temperatures. After several years of the event with each time growing in size, our national headquarters suggested, that we switch to the beginning of the semester, to capitalize on when students and the community have had some extra spending money from mom & dad and before people think of presents and gifts for family members during winter break. To our surprise, even with more events and competition our event grew. Eventually the idea has spread to chapters across the nation.

Goals: The goals of ATO with this project are simple; first to raise as much money for a local charity, since again this is a problem we have seen, and which Huntington gets a bad wrap. Second, to have us and our peers think. As we are privileged, privileged to go on to higher-education, privileged to walk on the beautiful campus that is Huntington-Main, when people

half-a-mile away struggle. We hope that we may start to begin awareness, discussion and thought provoking within the campus. Third, promote teamwork, leadership, civics, and philanthropy among our members.

Critics: First , your article starts off with some small facts about the project then goes straight for the backwards compliment about our good intentions as you firmly stated “rooted in the exploitation of homelessness” . You failed to mention nor respond to the already stated fact that 100% of the donations go to the Huntington Mission.

Your second critic is that we are basically not “hardcore, extreme, or authentic” because many of our members have other responsibilities, clubs, jobs, class, studying to complete. Our members in interviews have stated they feel lucky and privileged to come back to their dorm or house. I would ask (the staff) to check their own privilege. Did you write this critic in one of our new dorms with all the bells and whistles for our freshman and sophomores? The glorious Drinko library. Or where you typing this up at Starbucks? You “play” as if you can read the souls, intentions, and lifeexperience of all our members, which in-itself is pretentious. You could have interviewed these members to make your point but again a missed opportunity. Instead of looking at the hut as some street art hoping to get people to think about who those faces may be or imagen if they saw someone they knew.

Third your “Red-Cross” critic is a thinly-vailed shot at Huntington City Mission, because in your mind and others,

this is not a well-deserving non-profit in your eyes. Whether it is because its origins as a non-denominational Christian organization, which you equate to discrimination. However, if you wanted to include any interviews with your numerous homeless sources or contacted the City Mission about their policy then we could make a decision as a whole.

Fourth, your complaint about mandatory community service. Yes, we expect our members to contribute to our events.

The question you should have asked is how many of these gentlemen exceeded this requirement, which is more of a way to say to our members what the expectations for our groups and our members.

Fifth, your real complaint is that trying to pick on a soft target like a fraternity is easy and even part of pop-culture. We get it and we expect it, you assume to know our lives and try to convince readers that our motives are malice. Instead of focusing on the negative or even given the fraternity a valid critic, you failed to offer any suggestions, while condemning your fellow students for trying to make a small difference. You could have made your point by stating that the first 10 years are great but hope the next 10 years are even better, but you choose not to be apart of the solution, instead of offering sarcastic remarks such as a more orthodox bake sale. Not even my ma-maws’ brownies got three articles, so please let the focus being on donations and the homeless.

Your article only furthers to take away from the true purpose, which is We are Marshall, We are Huntington, We are One. Michael Alonso Marshall Undergraduate-08 Marshall Graduate-11

Marshall Artists Series debuts lineup for 80th season

By KRISLYN HOLDEN

THE PARTHENON The Marshall Artists Series will celebrate their 80th year of events this fall. The Marshall Artists Series at Marshall University is the second oldest artist series in the United States, with the University of Michigan being the oldest.

“We are not having any kind of galore or anything like that,” Angela Jones, the marketing director of the Marshall Artists Series, said about celebrating 80 years. “We are really just presenting a diverse and a collective season to kind of showcase where we are at 80 years old.”

The series will begin by welcoming artist Tony Bennet at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 29 at the Keith Albee Theater. Tony Bennet has sold millions of records worldwide and has won 19 Grammy Awards.

“I am very excited to see Tony Bennett just because he is a legend and being able to see someone of his caliber live at the Keith

Albee is going to be very exciting,” Jones said. “Not only for me, but students are excited and the people in the community and the university faculty and staff are excited as well.”

Stand-up comedian, actor, and author Lewis Black will perform the following week Oct. 8. The time has changed for the event and it will now begin at 8 p.m. instead of 7:30 p.m. and will be at the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse.

Andy Grammar and Gavin DeGraw will be performing at the Keith Albee at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 21. Gavin DeGraw’s songs include “I Don’t Want To Be,” “Follow Through,” and “Chariot.” Andy Grammar’s songs include “Keep Your Head Up,” Honey, I’m Good,” and “Good to be Alive (Hallelujah).”

The following week, the Marshall Artists Series will present the fall section of its International Film Festival from Oct. 27 to Oct. 30. The film festival has been reduced from one week to four days and the movies will

be played twice within the event.

The fall films will include “Mustang”, a film from Turkey, “A War”, a film from Denmark, “Prescription Thugs”, a film from the United States, “The Lady in the Van”, a film from the United Kingdom, “The Last Diamond”, a film from France, and “Viva”, a film from Cuba.

The film festivals are the only events that do not require an advanced ticket, however, a Marshall University student I.D. is required for admission.

In November, the Marshall Artists Series will present RENT, a Broadway show that will be performing on the their 20th anniversary Nov. 10 at the Keith Albee.

The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Choir is set to perform the following week Nov. 17 at the Keith Albee. The group is South Africa’s first official multicultural university choir that intertwines dancing and theatre to reflect different music genres and styles.

The fall season concludes in December

with Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Keith Albee Theater. Wynton Marsalis blends favorite holiday songs with classical and jazz music.

Student tickets for the Marshall Artists Series are available at the box office located at the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

“Students when they come to the box office need to have a Marshall I.D. with them,” Jones said. “If they have a guest who is a student who can’t come to the box office when they come, they can bring one other student’s I.D. with them.”

TV’s Wyatt Earp, Hugh O’Brian, has died at 91 the corps' youngest drill sergeants.

In June 2006, at age 81, O'Brian wed 54-year-old Virginia Barber at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in what they quipped was a "wedding to die for."

"I said goodbye, early this morning, to my favorite cowboy. My 28 years with Hugh have been an amazing, beautiful adventure. Iwill miss my special man who told me every day that I was beautiful and that he loved me," his wife wrote Monday. "I was one lucky cowgirl."

The couple, who had dated for years, honeymooned in England, studying philosophy at Oxford University.

"I think, quite frankly, an active

mind is as important as an active body," O'Brian told The Associated Press at the time. "Fortunately, my lady's a teacher and she puts up with me."

It was his first marriage, but his romances were many and well publicized, especially his fling with Princess Soraya, the ex-wife of the shah of Iran. In 1969 he faced a paternity suit in which he was judged to be the father of the 16-year-old son of a Los Angeles photographer. He was ordered to pay $250 monthly support for the boy, whose name was Hugh Krampe Jr. "I sure had my share of fun and an awful lot of ladies," he recalled in that 2006 interview.

ASSOCIATED PRESS Hugh O'Brian, who shot to fame as Sheriff Wyatt Earp in what was hailed as television's first adult Western, has died. He was 91.

A representative from HOBY, a philanthropic organization O'Brian founded, says he died at home Monday morning in Beverly Hills.

Until "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp" debuted in September 1955, most TV Westerns — "The Lone Ranger," ''Hopalong Cassidy," the singing cowboys' series — were aimed at adolescent boys.

"Wyatt Earp," on the other hand, was based on a real-life Western hero, and some of its stories were authentic. (The real Earp, who lived from 1848 to 1929, is most famous for his participation in the 1881 "Shootout at the O.K. Corral" in Tombstone, Arizona.)

Critics quickly praised it, and it made O'Brian a star.

"IfweweredoingWesternswith the chase and the fights that last endlessly, and the sheriff's daughter in sunbonnet and calico and

the Wanted posters ... we wouldn't reach the audience we reach each week," O'Brian once said.

"Gunsmoke," which debuted just a few days after "Wyatt Earp," became an even bigger hit, and by 1956-57, both were in the top 20 shows. In the 1958-59 season, Westerns accounted for an incredible seven out of the top 10 U.S. television series, including No. 1 "Gunsmoke" and No. 2 "Wagon Train," with "Wyatt Earp" at No. 10.

"Wyatt Earp" remained a Top 20 hit until 1960, but it was canceled the following year after being supplanted by the avalanche of other adult Westerns.

O'Brian, meanwhile, continued to work frequently in movies, television and theater through the 1990s, although he never again achieved the prominence he enjoyed as Wyatt Earp.

He starred in the 1970s detective series "Search" and appeared in such films as "In Harm's Way" and "Ten Little Indians," and reprised his role as Earp in 1994's "Wyatt Earp: Return to Tombstone," a film that combined new footage with colorized scenes

from the original black-and-white TV show.

He also had a small but memorable role as the faro dealer in John Wayne's last film, "The Shootist," and later noted with pride that it gave him the distinction of being the last bad guy killed by Wayne.

(Wayne himself is reputed to have met the real Wyatt Earp as a young man in Hollywood in the 1920s.)

Late in his career, O'Brian made frequent guest appearances in television series and variety shows and toured in the national companies of "Cactus Flower," ''1776" and "Guys and Dolls."

O'Brian had originally planned to study law at Yale University. But after actress Ida Lupino saw him in a play at a small Los Angeles theater she cast him in "Never Fear," a 1949 film she was directing, and his acting career was launched. He went on to appear in small parts in such films as "The Return of Jesse James," ''Red Ball Express," ''Broken Lance" and "There's No Business Like Show Business."

O'Brian was inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and

Western Heritage Museum in 1992.

He also made his mark in philanthropy as founder of the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership organization.

In 1959, impressed by the work of Albert Schweitzer, O'Brian made a pilgrimage to the 83-year-old savant's settlement and hospital in central Africa. Although his journey was derided by some critics as a publicity stunt, the actor dismissed the remarks, telling reporters how his life had been changed by the Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Shortly after returning home, he founded the youth group. Each year, it brought together promising high school sophomores at sites around the country for leadership seminars. In 1999 O'Brian estimated that HOBY had more than 200,000 graduates from ages 16 to 59. He received numerous awards for his achievement.

Born Hugh Krampe in Rochester, New York., O'Brian was educated in Winnetka, Illinois, leaving school at 17 to join the Marines. He went on to become one of

Conference USA football successful in week one

Who’s who in Marshall Athletics: Thomas Olivier

BY JOSEPH ASHLEY

THE PARTHENON The Marshall University Men’s soccer team stood gathered at the end of practice receiving final instruction and motivation from head coach Bob Gray.

Assistant coach Thomas Olivier attributes his time coaching at Marshall University solely to Gray.

“I was working for the West Virginia Soccer Association for Coach Gray, and he had an opening on his staff last minute because Michael Nissim, the old assistant, was going to law school,” Olivier said when asked HERDZONE about his transition to the Thundering Herd. “It happened on a spur of the moment.”

Olivier is beginning his eighth season as the assistant coach at Marshall. Previously, he was at the Ann Arbor Arsenal youth club as a coach and a director of coaching. In 2006, Olivier moved to West Virginia to work for the WVSA. Although he is an assistant coach, he still works for the WVSA as an assistant director of coaching. His primary role with Marshall University is recruiting and day-to-day operations.

The two get along and both have a love of soccer, the two coach from different ends of the spectrum. Olivier surmised that while

Gray operates from a motivational and positive standpoint, Olivier takes a very critical approach to the game. The two create a balance in that aspect to where players are reminded of how much talent they have and display, but that they always have room to improve and become greater. The opposing styles may be a result of where the two come from.

Olivier was born in France, where he had been playing soccer since he was five. The vast majority of Europe, and a majority of the world views soccer as its number one sport. His favorite team is Paris Saint-Germain. Although they are not regularly televised in the United States, Olivier’s love of soccer shone through as he recalled the tougher times the club faced years ago, to its unprecedented dominance of the past few seasons.

While Marshall University would not be a similar juggernaut that the French club is, Olivier believes this club is capable of winning.

“Without disrespecting anybody in the conference, we’ve been our own worst enemy the last few years, whether it comes to a slow start, or we shoot ourselves in the foot, but if we can stop beating ourselves, we should be fine. We’ve always competed in the conference but we seem to always get to a point where we are on the bad end of a 1 – 0 or 2 – 1 game.” Olivier added emphasis on how important this year will be to the team with the conference tournament being played in Huntington.

THE PARTHENON The first week of college football season is always action-packed, but the opening week of the 2016 season has provided more surprises than fans and players had expected, especially with the outcomes of a handful of Conference-USA games.

Pundits expected that the conference would be improved this season, but after Southern Miss knocked off Southeastern Conference school Kentucky on Saturday and Louisiana Tech came within inches of beating Arkansas, another SEC school, plenty of heads were turned, including those in the Marshall football program.

“I think Conference-USA is a little bit overlooked, as far as the talent,” said senior tight end Ryan Yurachek. Yurachek said with the bye week, he had the opportunity to sit down and watch both Southern Miss and Western Kentucky, two teams the Herd will face later this season.

“Both teams looked pretty good,” Yurachek said. “I think Southern Miss rolled off 34 straight points. They looked impressive, I don’t think anyone will lie to you.

[Louisiana Tech] should have beat Arkansas. There’s good teams in our conference.”

The most shocking result of the weekend in C-USA was undoubtedly Southern Miss taking down the Wildcats. After a 9-5 finish to last year, many expected the Golden Eagles to be much improved, with the CUSA coaches going as far as projecting them as West Division winners earlier this preseason. But the SEC is widely regarded as the best football conference in collegiate athletics and, even though Kentucky is a perennial bottom-feeder in the Southeastern Conference, the upset was one very few predicted.

The same can be said for the final score of the Louisiana Tech vs. Arkansas game.

While Arkansas ultimately eked out the 1-point win, the simple fact that the Bulldogs played them that close is a testament to how much that program has improved.

Even though the teams are rivals on the gridiron, Yurachek said Marshall fans should pay close attention to fellow C-USA schools non-conference games.

“Every Marshall fan should be pulling for Southern Miss, they should be pulling for Western in every game we don’t play them,” Yurachek said. “The non-conference games they win, they make our conference look better and if we happen to go down there and beat [Southern Miss] and Western comes here and we beat them, that makes us look better in all aspects.”

As it currently stands, the Herd has the 59th to ughes t sch edule in all of NCAA Divis ion I I-A. With te ams like Pitts burgh and Lo uisville on the sch ed ule, Mars hall already has a hard eno ugh path that if they run the table, they have a legi tim ate sh ot at maki ng a majo r bowl game. Continued to ugh non-c onfe re nce wins by o t h e r C o n fe re n c e - U SA s c h o o l s o n ly h e l ps b o o s t M ar s h a l l’ s b owl re s u m e eve n m o re .

“Everyone should just be pulling for everyone in non-conference games,” said Yurachek. “I think we’re overlooked, but you can’t change that. The only thing you can do is go out and win games.”

Conference-USA has a chance to make its biggest splash in its 21-year history this week, as last year’s conference champion Western Kentucky travels down south to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to take on defending National Champions Alabama on Saturday.

The game kicks-off at 2:30 p.m. ET. A Hilltoppers win could propel C-USA to places it has never been before.
