SGA takes criticism, hopes to improveAlexis RAndolph

staff writer @dailyathenaeum

This Wednesday’s weekly Student Government Asso-ciation meeting marked the halfway point for this term of the West Virginia Univer-sity SGA.

The group discussed the Pointing Out Profes-sor Pairs Project (P40) pre-sented by student Anas Ko-shak, as well as hosted a

discussion on the LiveSafe sapplication by University Police Chief Bob Roberts.

Throughout the meet-ing, there were pushes from several members of the group for more partici-pation in projects the orga-nization is currently active in, such as the Homecom-ing elections and the Gold Rush T-shirt sale.

Daniel Brewster, profes-sor of sociology and advi-sor for SGA, said he would

like to see more effort from the group as a whole.

“This group, with SGA, has so few governors’ re-ports. It’s again like every single week nothing (hap-pens),” he said. “Some-thing has to be done. You sit in every meeting, and we hear from the same execu-tives every single week talk-ing about progress they are making and not so much progress you are making.”

At this meeting, only a

few members of the Board of Governors gave gover-nors’ reports. Many meet-ings are focused around items of new business,

grants and open student forums.

Brewster said this issue has been discussed in the past with the current mem-

bers of the organization.“We had this discus-

sion at the retreat about accountability and show-ing up and things like that,” Brewster said. “I’m keep-ing track and I am looking at what you are doing, the lack of reports and the lack of substance. I hope that means (at) meeting num-ber 11 next week we are go-ing to come in here and you

The annual beard shav-ing competition hosted by Mountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia and the 2014 Miss West Virginia Paige Madden was held Wednesday in the Mountainlair.

An estimated 40 students gathered to display their beard growing ability by shav-ing their face clean in hopes that in five weeks, their beard lands them first place in the event.

Contestants began lining up beside the stage which held a barber shop pole, and contestants would step on to the stage where they found shaving cream, razors, a water bowl and mirror to rid them-selves of their facial hair.

The tradition of the beard shaving competition was in-spired by “West Virginia’s an-cestral culture” according to Sonja Wilson, Mountain-eer Week advisor. Men go-ing out hunting during frigid climates generally grow out their beard, trying to conceal warmth from cool mountain air.

Brady Nolan, the beard shaving competition coordi-nator said the event brings students together.

“I just think that it’s cool because it’s tradition for the Mountaineer to grow the beard, so you’ve carried on that tradition even though you’re not the Mountaineer, you’re a mountaineer by be-ing a student here at WVU,” Nolan said.

The tradition of the beard growing competition died out for a while but has taken place every year since 1988.

“It also gives guys bragging rights to say they’re the hair-iest man on campus,” Nolan said.

However, they both agree this event is purely based on tradition and epitomizes what being a Mountaineer is really all about.

Brian Bills, a senior busi-ness administration student, said he participated in the competition on a whim after his girlfriend convinced him to sign up.

“Today was the hardest part,” Bills said. “For those of us who did have a little bit of a beard already, get-ting rid of it was not the eas-iest thing, especially standing in front of everybody in the Mountainlair.”

On Wednesday, Oct. 29, contestants will return to be judged by faculty staff on who grew the best beard. First place will be rewarded $100, second place will take $75, and third will be given $50.

“I’m definitely look-ing forward to Oct. 29 when they announce the win-ners and see how every-one’s facial hair grew in,” Bills said.

Bills said if he wins the competition, he will use the money to buy new WVU gear and take his girlfriend out to dinner.

Sign-ups for West Vir-ginia University’s 67th an-nual Mountaineer Week game challenge are com-ing to an end Friday. Greek life, student organizations, residence halls and groups of friends are all encour-aged to participate.

“It is a really neat op-portunity for students be-cause this is the 67th year for Mountaineer Week at WVU, and it is a cel-ebration of our Appala-chian heritage,” said Sum-mer Ratcliff, co-chair for Mountaineer Week. “When you come to WVU, whether you are from West Virginia or not, you get adopted into the Appala-chian mindset.”

While Mountaineer Week does not kick off until Oct. 24, events will be running all month for teams and organizations to attend and earn points.

Points will be awarded throughout the month for attending and participat-ing in Mountaineer Week-based events. Each team must have at least four

members to sign up.The first challenge

event will kick off tomor-row from noon-8 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballroom where teams will drop off stuffed animals for the stuffed animal drive to benefit the WVU Chil-dren’s Hospital.

The team with the most stuffed animals will gain 100 points, second place will receive 75 points and third will get 50 points. Ev-ery team that participates gets at least 25 points per event. A similar system will be in place for all of the events.

Other events will in-clude the annual PRT cram, a photo contest, challenge games on the Moutainlair green, a WVU related scavenger hunt around campus, a pie eat-ing contest and dance-off contest with the Chick-Fil-A cow.

Bob Huggins will also hold his annual three-on-three basketball tour-nament Oct. 28-30. Each team must sign up by Fri-day Oct. 24 and registra-tion costs $20 per team. All benefits will go to support the Norma Mae Huggins

Cancer Fund. Mountaineer Week will

conclude on Sunday Nov. 2 with the Mountaineer Idol Finale. Winners will be chosen based off of to-tal points earned through-out the challenge. The top Greek life organization, student organization and residence hall winners will receive a trophy.

While every year Moun-taineer Week is designed to celebrate Appalachian heritage, this year’s main focus is the celebration of Appalachian music.

Many students and Greek organizations in-cluded have already signed up to participate in this year’s challenge.

“Participating in Moun-taineer Week has made all of us within the sorority grow closer and brought Greek organizations (to-gether) as a whole,” said Jess Taylor, a sister of Delta Gamma, who has signed up to participate.

While turn out was low for last year’s Mountaineer Week, this year’s event or-ganizers have used social media, flyers and word-

The West Virginia Uni-versity Diversity Week has highlighted many groups of people, some that are often overlooked.

This year, they have shined light on one group of people who are not often the center of at-tention at WVU or other universities: female stu-dent veterans.

Through the help of careful research and planning, the Division of Diversity, Equity and In-clusion is creating a strat-egy to make the WVU campus a more accepting place that understands the difficulties of being a female student veteran and thrives to preserve the future for women vet-erans who are returning to college.

“The reason why (we are looking into this strat-egy) is because we know women veterans are the fastest growing group in the VA itself and also the fastest growing group in the military,” said Gina M. Maiocco, assistant clinical professor and veteran.

Maiocco has con-ducted a great deal of re-search on women vet-erans and has found beneficial information, not just for WVU, but for other institutions with the same lack of empathy.

“It is very important for us to identify what exactly they’re experi-encing during their roles while serving in the mil-itary in relation to com-bat, issues of sexual ha-rassment and military sexual trauma, but also the environment of the military,” Maiocco said. “It’s our chance to un-derstand the experiences as far as reintegration, meaning coming back into the community.”

The study involved eight women, all of whom were veterans that have served in Iraq or Afghan-istan, have retired or are active in the reserves, are currently enrolled or pre-viously attended college after their time at war.

All participants were over 18 years of age and had to sign consent. The process involved two in-terviews: one before to gather information and one after to validate it. Maiocco described the findings as remarkable.

All of the subjects were able to relate to several similar themes when dealing with their expe-rience of going back to school, one of the most prominent being a never-ending remembrance of war.

“We had a woman that stated the first thing they did when she got to Af-ghanistan was hand her

Celebrating 31 Years in Same Location!

The West Virginia Uni-versity College of Law will host an open house event for all prospective law stu-dents tomorrow.

The event, called Experi-ence WVU Law Day, will be held at the College of Law’s campus. It will be begin at approximately 9:30 a.m. and end around 1:00 p.m.

The agenda for the day includes presentations about the admissions pro-cess, the academic atmo-sphere and student life. Participants can choose to sit in on a law school Torts 1 class. Participants can also receive a tour of the facility and talk to profes-sors and law students.

“Experience WVU Law Day is supposed to give you a glimpse into the law school experience. We tried to provide ses-

sions for those just think-ing about law school and for those that are ready to apply,” said Tina Jernigan, director of admissions for the College of Law. “If they have questions about the admissions process, they can ask them at the event. It gives these students a feel for WVU law school.”

At the event, Greg-ory Bowman, the interim dean and professor of law at the College of Law, will welcome all participants. Following the welcome, participants can choose between three concurrent sessions about applying to law school or what it is like to be a student.

Jernigan will speak about the application pro-cess and how to apply for law school. The Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, John Taylor, will speak about academic programs and offerings, and the As-sistant Dean of Student Af-

fairs, Janet Armistead, will speak about student life.

Among the sessions that are designed to help prospective law students, participants are also able to sit in on a first-year law school student class. It will not be a mock class, so participants can receive a realistic perspective of an authentic law school class.

Tours will also be given of the law school facilities, where participants can ask questions and engage with their guide one-on-one.

Online registration for the event is now closed, but continues to remain open via phone.

“Right now, we have participants who are rang-ing from age 18, so col-lege freshmen, all the way to age 64, people who are looking at second careers,” Jernigan said.

The staff at the WVU College of Law is thrilled

to put on this event for the first time.

“Our area of expertise is individual visits; we love to give students whatever they want and a day fo-cused on them,” Jernigan said. “But we also know that not everyone wants that and instead wants an overall view. We planned this day for anyone.”

It is not a coincidence that the event was planned

in conjunction with West Virginia Universi ty ’s Homecoming Weekend.

“It is hard to beat Home-coming at WVU. If alumni are in town, they can bring their kids up and visit the law school,” Jernigan said.

The environment that participants will experi-ence Friday will be en-tirely with their interests in mind.

“It gives students a re-

laxed environment for them to get a lot of infor-mation and make it eas-ier for them to get that,” Jernigan said. “We’re here to help and assist them through this process. This is a great place to begin their career.”

a whistle. And she said, ‘I’d rather have a gun, why do I need a whistle?’ They said to her, ‘You have a higher chance of being raped than you do of be-ing shot,’” Maiocco said. “She still remembers that whistle. She remembers that first night there, be-ing in a tent, holding onto that whistle and hearing the mortar shells going on around her. To this day, she cannot be anywhere

near a whistle. A never-ending remembrance of war.”

It is these memories and experiences that make it hard for the veterans to return to school. They are easily distracted and hy-per vigilant. They also ex-perience much insensitiv-ity from instructors and students alike, resulting in isolation.

To try and put a stop to these issues and help with the transition from war zone to classroom, the Di-vision of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is develop-ing a program that WVU

plans to implement by the beginning of the spring semester.

By identifying the spe-cific problems that need resolved, it has developed the Green Zone Project, a training program for fac-ulty and staff at WVU so they can become aware of the needs of veterans.

The program also in-cludes a group of peo-ple known as “Green Zone Allies” to aid in this transistion.

“Green Zone Allies are going to be the go-to peo-ple on campus that will be able to provide resources

and support for our vet-eran students and faculty. Participants will become familiar with the military experience and the emo-tional cycle of deploy-ment,” said Jill Hess, an ac-cessibility specialist at the Division of Diversity, Eq-uity and Inclusion.

The Green Zone Allies role is to be supportive, to understand military dif-ficulties and to be a sym-pathetic ear for student veterans.

Laura Bowen, a geology student and female stu-dent veteran, said she un-derstands these struggles and realizes the need for a program such as the Green Zone Project. While in the service, she was sexually assaulted.

“It was the thought that being sexually assaulted, h a r r a s s e d , p h y s i c a l abuse, emotional abuse, it was less than combat PTSD that males experi-ence. When in reality it’s the same,” Bowen said. “No one’s better, no one’s worse, we all went through a lot of pain while we were in the service.”

are going to be like, ‘I ac-complished this goal, and I had seven meetings and this is where I am at.’ But I have a feeling we may not get that.”

SGA is currently spon-soring both the Gold Rush campaign and T-shirt sales. The sales will go to benefit the United Way campaign.

Brewster said while he sees repeat members sell-ing, a lot of the support has come from academic de-partments around campus.

“When all is said and done, it is going to look like SGA sold $6,000 worth of shirts, but the reality is it’s not as much,” he said. “I see

everyone, a lot of you wear-ing the Gold Rush T-shirts, but I’ve been around every day, and I haven’t seen a lot of people, on both sides – the executive and legis-lative branch, participat-ing in that. It is just very disappointing.”

Brewster also com-mented on the lack of sup-port for the Homecoming elections, after members of the BOG passed a resolu-tion to support the right for students to vote.

Brewster said there have been concerns brought to him from members within the organization.

“Just speaking with sev-eral of the governors and some of the members of the executive (board), I’m just kind of concerned about the productivity of some

and maybe the lack of pro-ductivity of others,” Brews-ter said. “As the advisor of the organization, I felt like it was my responsibility to bring them to task and to hold them somewhat ac-countable for their job.”

SGA President Chris Nyden said he feels respon-sible for the lack of reports and responses from mem-bers of the organization as a whole.

“I think that in many ways I have perhaps failed as a leader, and I take that upon myself in terms of other people in the orga-nization not always giving reports each week,” Nyden said. “There is always this higher level we need to take ourselves to. We need to uphold high standards for the rest of SGA, and I think

that is something we are go-ing to take very seriously for the rest of the year.”

While Nyden said he felt Brewster’s tone was appro-priate, he chose to look at the situation in a more pos-itive light.

“I am not nearly as neg-ative. I think people have made strides so far, and we just need to keep pushing and accelerate our prog-ress for the rest of the year,” he said. “I think that we are doing a good job in terms of outreach, but we could certainly communicate a lot better as an organiza-tion and that is where a lot of our future progress will stand.”

CharLEsTON, W.Va. (aP) — In a rebuke to state elec-tion officials, the West Vir-ginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Kanawha County Republicans can fill an empty ballot slot for a House of Delegates seat.

After oral arguments Tuesday, the court’s unan-imous ruling lets Marie Sprouse-McDavid fill the slot on the ballot left when GOP Del. Suzette Raines dropped her re-election bid.

The court sharply criti-cized Secretary of State Nat-alie Tennant and the state Election Commission for allowing Raines to with-draw, but then denying a GOP request to fill her bal-lot vacancy.

Reprinting ballots could cost at least $25,000, Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick has told the Charleston Daily Mail. Military and overseas bal-lots have already been printed and mailed, the court wrote.

“The practical effect of the Commission and Secre-tary Tennant’s abject failure to be knowledgeable of and to comply with this State’s election laws has serious consequences,” the court said in its ruling.

The court’s decision says state election law requires election commissioners to allow a replacement once they let someone withdraw from the ballot.

The decision also says of-ficials ignored a 22-year-old state Supreme Court ruling that arose under similar circumstances.

In 1992, the Election Commission rejected a Re-publican request to replace a candidate for the 2nd Congressional District. The

candidate said he withdrew because of personal family commitments.

The Supreme Court over-turned the decision, saying law relating to ballot va-cancies “should be liberally construed in order to serve the legislative policy of pro-viding a full selection of candidates for the voters.”

Tennant spokeswoman Amber Epling said the sec-retary of state’s office will absorb the cost of reprint-ing ballots, and assured it wouldn’t cost more to taxpayers.

“The Secretary of State’s Office will work with the (State Election Commis-sion) and the Kanawha County Clerk to get ballots reprinted quickly and no-tify all voters whose ballots have already gone out that a new ballot is on its way,” Epling said via email.

Sprouse-McDavid and the Kanawha County Re-

publican Executive Com-mittee targeted Tennant, the commission and its members in the challenge.

In August, election com-missioners denied Republi-cans’ request to fill the 35th District ballot vacancy af-ter Raines withdrew. They said her extenuating cir-cumstances didn’t suf-fice to allow a replacement candidate.

Raines said she needed time to heal after her moth-er’s death in March and the end of her engagement. She’s completing her term.

On Wednesday, the state Republican Party called the high court’s decision a win against a “frivolous and embarrassing election challenge.”

Before Raines withdrew, state Democrats sued her,

alleging she doesn’t live where she claims and hasn’t filed or signed cer-tain paperwork.

“This process was brought on because a Re-publican delegate failed to comply with the law and the Republican Party tried to cover for her,” state Dem-ocratic Party Chairman Larry Puccio said via email.

The back-and-forth

comes during a heated election season, in which Republicans are pursuing their first House majority in about 85 years. Democrats hold a six-seat advantage, and all 100 seats are in play this election.

Sprouse McDavid fin-ished fifth in the 35th Dis-trict Republican primary. The district elects four delegates.

Botanic Garden turning gardening into child’s play

morgantownnewcomers.orgChild inspects a pumpkin while wearing a fairy costume at the Botanic Garden’s Fall Children’s Festival.

By Caitlin WorrellA&E WritEr

@dAilyAthEnAEum

The West Virginia Botanic Garden will host its annual Fall Children’s Festival Sun-day for a variety of family-friendly fun.

The festival, in its sixth year, offers an array of out-door crafts for children in addition to full access to the botanic garden’s flourishing grounds and parks. Guests can also expect a visit from some furry friends and enjoy seasonal refreshments.

With almost 700 people in attendance last year, the Bo-tanic Garden anticipates this year’s celebration to be the biggest yet.

Families have countless options for crafts and ac-tivities, including pumpkin painting, two bird feeder crafts and fairy house build-ing. The fairy craft will be fea-tured in a specially-designed fairy garden to give guests the illusion of a whimsical atmosphere. Crafters will use natural materials such as sticks, leaves, rocks and pine needles to create small homes where woodland fairies can live. More activi-ties for the whole family in-clude take-home bulb plant-ing and “seed bombs”, just

in time for the fall growing season.

The Children’s Discovery Museum of West Virginia will host a pumpkin-scented pa-per craft for those looking to indulge in the smells of

the season. Other affiliates like the Avian Conservation Center of Appalachia will be stopping by with birds from their facility.

The Botanic Gardens has multiple gardens, vistas and

parks within its site blossom-ing with flowers and foliage. Open to the public daily, the park’s no-fee policy makes it easily accessible and avail-able to locals. But for many families, the Fall Children’s

Festival is the first time they are exposed to the Botanic Garden.

“We wanted to provide an event with a focus on chil-dren and families,” said Erin Smaldone, the organizer of

the Fall Children’s Festival. “Many families don’t know the WVBG exists until they come to the festival. It’s a wonderful way for us to share the site with the community.”

Bringing in new families each year, the Botanic Gar-den hopes its fall event will put its site on the map as a year-round go-to spot for family-friendly fun.

“People are often de-lighted to learn about this wonderful natural area so close to home and come back to visit after the festival,” Smaldone said. “The festival itself has become very popu-lar with local families. Where else can you create and take home multiple crafts, build fairy houses, enjoy delicious food and spend the after-noon outside in the splendor of nature at little or no cost?”

The event also prompted the need for more than 50 volunteers from the area, many of which are West Vir-ginia University students.

The Fall Children’s Festi-val, sponsored by the Weldon Family Foundation of Mor-gantown, will be from 1-4 p.m. Oct. 5 at the West Vir-ginia Botanic Garden. There is no admission fee for the festival.

Four Horsemen hosts gaming event for ALS charityBy aSHley DenarDo

A&E EditOr @AmdEnArdO

Many people have spent hours on YouTube watching celebrities and regular people dumping buckets of ice-cold water on their heads to spread awareness about ALS.

Four Horsemen Comics and Gaming is hosting an event tonight with a new twist on the “Ice Bucket Challenge.”

According to the store’s Facebook event, the store wants to do it “nerd-style.” This entails an eight-person “Magic: The Gathering” Ice Age Tournament.

“Players will be given a sealed tournament deck of Ice Age and two packs of “Cold-

snap,” which is an additional, supplemental product to Ice Age,” said Ira Wile, a worker at the gaming store. “From this random card pool, they’ll construct a deck of at least 40 cards with which to duel other players in the event. The event is run in Swiss-style pairings and rounds. The winner is the player with the best record overall.”

Wile said people should expect to travel back in time for this event.

“This is a format and a set that’s not been explored in almost 15 years,” Wile said. “Many of our players were way too young to play ‘Magic’ when this set came out, and the makers of the game have evolved the style so much

that this form of ‘sealed play’ is very, very rare. We have a very limited amount of prod-uct though because of the age and nature of it.”

This unusual take on a common trend was thought up by the store’s owner, Ron

Davis, Wile and others in-volved in gaming.

“The ALS Ice Water Chal-lenge has garnered a lot of press and given a lot of at-tention to the charity,” Wile said. “Earlier in the season, Ron, the shop owner, raised

around $300 by living up to his own Ice Bucket challenge. This (event) is a creative twist on the ‘cold’ theme, tailored to us ‘Magic’ players.

Star City Games in Roa-noke, Va., one of the largest “Magic” dealers in the world, and Madness Games & Com-ics in Plano, Texas helped pro-vide the materials to make the event a success.

The entry fee for partici-pants is $30 and it is limited to eight players on a first-come, first-serve basis.

“It’s a sport, and I’ve met some phenomenal folks through it,” Wile said. “And I’m sure that most players have similar stories and have forged great friendships and relationships through the

game.”The winner of the tourna-

ment will receive free entry to some future events at Four Horsemen Comics and Gam-ing, $25 to spend at the store and a free milkshake from Chick-Fil-A.

The second-place winner will also receive free entry to the Four Horsemen/Star City Games Wednesday Night Magic event.

Proceeds generated by the event will be donated to the ALS Association.

The tournament will take place 6 p.m. tonight at Four Horsemen Comics and Gam-ing located in the Morgan-town Mall.

Mellencamp channels dead writersNEW YORK (AP) — John

Mellencamp feels he has some impressive co-writers for his latest songs, like play-wright Tennessee Williams and folk legend Pete Seeger.

That they’re both dead doesn’t really matter. Mel-lencamp believes in chan-neling, that other voices speak through him when he’s writing music. And, yes, he fully recognizes that sounds weird to outsiders.

“A lot of people call it `in-spiration,’” he said. “As long as you identify it as inspi-ration, then you’re still try-ing to control it - `I’m in-spired to do this, but I’m going to do THIS.’ You’ve got to get out of your own way. If you get out of your own way, then you can re-ally write something that means something.”

His 22nd album is accu-rately described by the title “Plain Spoken,” released last week. It contains 10 literate, acoustic-based songs on re-ligion, redemption, mature love and self-reflection, with humor thrown in. Call it age-appropriate music from a 62-year-old former rock star who now scoffs that rock is dead.

A Rolling Stone online article about Mellencamp one time was headlined: “He had one of the greatest careers in pop and rock and hated every minute of it.”

Not quite true, Mel-lencamp said. He didn’t like stardom, chafed at re-cord company pressure and saw hits as the quick-est way to make his mark in a competitive industry. He had plenty: “Jack and Di-ane,” “Hurt So Good,” “Pa-per in Fire,” “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.,” “Pink Houses” - the list goes on.

His present feelings about songwriting and rock ̀ n’ roll leave him with an uneasy relationship with many of those old songs, which are kind of like old high school chums you don’t hang around with anymore. “Pink Houses,” for instance, “was an inspiration song, but John got involved in the last verse and screwed it up,” he said, drawing out the vowel

in his own name.The goal for “Plain Spo-

ken,” executive produced by T Bone Burnett, was to let the songs and melodies speak for themselves.

“I will rearrange all of the old songs and they will sound like they came off this record,” said Mellencamp, who will tour for much of next year. “You’ll recognize the songs, of course, but it won’t be the arrangement that you’re familiar with. It will become a whole new song.”

Fans of roots-based mu-sic should appreciate the disc, said Jed Hilly, execu-tive director of the Ameri-cana Music Association. Mellencamp already owns a lifetime achievement award from the organization.

“It’s not filled with the pop hooks that the ̀ Jack and Diane’ era are famous for,” Hilly said. “But it’s a very thoughtful record.”

Mellencamp’s recent comments about his need to make age-appropriate music are certain to rub some peers the wrong way. He doesn’t see the point of running around a stage and singing about girls the way he did 30 years ago. He re-members seeing James

Brown in his prime and be-ing electrified, then cring-ing 25 years later watching the soul master struggle to get up from his signature splits.

An example of how he talks to his peers is the song “The Isolation of Mister,” about a headstrong man who got it all wrong when he was younger. Autobi-ography? To an extent, but Mellencamp said many can relate.

“I think that a lot of men when they reach a cer-tain age, they realize what they’ve done and what their regrets are,” he said.

The Indiana resident’s quieter music shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who’s followed the last half of his career. What may take listeners aback is his voice, more weath-ered now and limited in its range.

“Two million cigarettes later and I finally sound like a black guy,” he said. “Thank God. The cigarettes finally paid off. They’re go-ing to give me cancer and they’re going to kill me, but for a short amount of time, they’re going to make my voice sound like it should sound.”

reflecting on SGA’s lack of progressThe Daily Athenaeum has

the responsibility of being the watchdog for West Vir-ginia University activities. As things happen on-cam-pus or in our community, it is our responsibility to in-form our readers with accu-rate information.

A large focus of our time is spent on the Student Gov-ernment Association.

At last night’s meeting, Daniel Brewster, a sociology professor at WVU and ad-visor for SGA, commented on what little it has accom-plished this year. Bob Cam-pione, also a faculty advisor, also encouraged SGA mem-bers to participate more of-ten in their own events.

“Something has to be done,” Brewster said. “You sit in every meeting and we hear from the same execu-tives every single week talk-ing about progress they are making and not so much progress you are making.”

Because of this, we re-flected on the previous SGA administration and the current.

Under the Campione and Seebaugh administration, SGA was extremely effective. Campione created some-thing not previously done: an online list of 83 goals out-lined for SGA to complete in

their term of office, of which they completed 70 percent. This created transparency in the administration and al-lowed students to track the progress of each project.

At the first meeting of the 2013-14 school year, SGA was able to announce that students were able to use their meal plan to pay at Bits and Bytes. This was a great achievement for the Univer-sity and students received it positively.

Shortly after, the same ad-ministration compiled a list

of club sports practice times, approved an amendment to the SGA Ethics Code and began creating a list of gen-der-neutral bathrooms for transgender students to have access to.

This was a huge step for-ward for WVU. At the time of the decision, more than 150 campuses nationwide al-ready accepted and imple-mented this practice.

On Sept. 4, Campione an-nounced that the Univer-sity would begin distribut-ing student tickets to Men’s

Basketball games in a simi-lar way that football tickets are distributed.

These achievements con-tinued as Campione and Seebaugh pushed for their list of goals to be completed.

Each year of SGA is differ-ent. There are different work-ing styles, goals, personali-ties and obstacles within the University to overcome.

This year, under the Nyden and Evans admin-istration, there has clearly been different strategy with different outcomes.

The 2014-15 SGA be-gan with a bang by increas-ing the student organization budget by $20,000. Also, SGA secured 30,000 licenses for WVU students to use Micro-soft Office 365 software.

An extraordinary amount of time was spent discussing how Homecoming Court is selected. SGA should have been included on any Homecoming Court deci-sions, but these seemed to cloud the potential for dis-cussing any other projects.

On Sept. 3, SGA passed a resolution to better outline the responsibilities of the Big 12 University Liaison. Jessica Harris was already filling the position and completed the same tasks when the resolu-tion was accepted.

On Sept. 10, SGA had no new or old business to attend to. Instead, they listened to presenters in an open-stu-dent forum.

Once again, there was no new business presented by SGA members at Wednes-day’s meeting.

There appears to be a di-vide between SGA mem-bers who ran on the Trusted Ticket and those who ran with the Launch Party. At SGA’s recent retreat, most of those who attended ran on the Trusted Ticket.

But the successes or fail-ures of SGA cannot be pinned to one individual.

Part of the problem for measuring Nyden’s suc-cess is because of his ambi-tious platform. It’s difficult to make college more af-fordable in the period of time that he has been in office, but this does not mean other goals could not have been met.

But Nyden took some re-sponsibilities for how SGA has been run this year.

“I think that in many ways I have perhaps failed as a leader, and I take that upon myself in terms of other peo-ple in the organization not always giving reports each week,” Nyden said.

It is important to recog-nize that there can be many things happening behind closed doors that students or The DA never hear about.

But it is also important to remember that if we place a high importance on the role of SGA, we must also have high expectations.

Students should have confidence that elected SGA members are fulfilling the promises they made during election season. Right now, it seems like they aren’t.

E-cigs: Vaporizing your lungs one puff at a time

For years we’ve known the deadly nature of ciga-rettes. How their carcino-genic qualities burn holes from generation to genera-tion. We’ve seen the com-mercials that implore us to end nicotine addiction and give new breath to our future youth.

Contrary to popular be-lief, tobacco smoking will never go away. It is a plant that grows in the ground. It has been smoked for millennia, and it will be smoked long after our gen-eration is gone.

But can you imagine a product that gives off the

same buzz, the same re-lief, all while not killing 400,000 Americans every year? An innovative, tech-nology-based product that vaporizes the deadly ingredients of cigarettes. A product, while still ad-dictive in its own right, that could possibly help wean people off in due time. If you imagined e-cigarettes, close your eyes again - I have some bad news.

After years of hope-ful uncertainty pertain-ing to the safety of e-cig-arettes, scientists are only now coming to re-alize the harm they are producing.

Vaporizing sounds nice in theory. The word itself is kind of cool. To me it con-

jures the image of a Christ-mas cup of hot cocoa, the steam wafting over my hot mug. Instead, vaporizing nicotine can leave traces of lung-irritating solvents. These solvents can trans-form into carbonyls such as formaldehyde, a can-cer-causing compound. e-cigarettes also release high levels of nanoparti-cles that have been known to trigger inflammation. They have been linked to asthma, stroke, heart dis-ease and diabetes, per http://sciencenews.org.

The strange thing is big tobacco seems to be go-ing all-in on the warning labels of e-cigs, claiming the inhalation of nicotine is very toxic and can cause a whole host of negative

side effects. Mind you, they are doing this un-provoked by anti-smoking legislation.

The New York Times re-cently made the odd dis-covery of big tobacco com-panies like Altria, maker of Marlboro, and Reynolds America, maker of Cam-els, having some particu-larly harsh labels for their new products.

One might interpret this as a changing of the times. The tobacco companies are now looking to be hon-est with consumers about the lethal products they peddle. That noble agen-das have made their way into the hearts of corpo-rate head honchos, I think not. I smell some insidious motives instead.

The tobacco companies have a few reasons to be critical of the warning la-bels on their new e-ciga-rettes. It can’t hurt them to remind people of what they already know - nico-tine is a drug and can be harmful in the long run – and it could spare them some lawsuits in the future if they openly claim their product is bad for you.

Another reason is the at-tempt to monopolize this new and expanding mar-ket. There are so many small, yet aspiring e-ciga-rette companies all vying for market shares, that the big corporations are hop-ing to scare you back into your comfort zone.

The thinking goes: “If all products are created

equally bad, then I might as well stay with the brand I know.”

And that’s why smoking will never truly go away. It’s addictive, and there is always money to be made off addiction. The jury is still out on whether e-cig-arettes are better, worse or the same for you as regular cigarettes.

The tobacco companies, big and small, will always be fighting for your breath as well as your bread. There will always be anti-smoking commercials that force you to change the channel. And smoking, va-porized or not, will always be bad for you. There are better things to do anyway.

Sleepology: The beauty of power naps, being well-rested

With the amount of work college students face every single day, it’s no surprise they suffer from sleep-deprivation.

For preschoolers, napping is critical because it assists their developing brain with consolidating newly learned information.

Although college students do not have as many carefree days as preschoolers do, find-ing the time to take a nap can lower risks for health prob-lems, enhance memory and improve cognitive skills in the long run. These health prob-lems range from obesity to di-abetes as stated in an article from Greatist. Lethargy can ultimately interfere with stu-dents’ schedules in terms of work performance, relation-ships and grades.

According to The California Aggie, a study done at the Uni-versity of St. Thomas in Min-nesota stated that “70 percent of college students receive less than the eight recommended hours of sleep.” If you are a stu-dent that falls within that 70 percent range, the best way to combat fatigue is by taking a power nap.

An article from Grea-tist stated that “the ideal length for a power nap var-ies from person to person, but somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes is the general recommendation.”

Timothy Swan, a student

at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, said that it’s been a while since he took power naps.

“But one thing I can tell you is I start getting drowsy right after lunch time,” Swan said. “However, back then when I used to take power naps, I would feel rejuvenated and continue with the second half of my day.”

Power Nap Stages:Stage 1 and 2 are consid-

ered to fall under the non-REM stages; power naps con-sist of the two combined. Beyond Stage 3, deep sleep is active.

One thing that you have to realize is that after stage 3, stage 2 is repeated several times before actually enter-ing stage REM. An article from About.com said “on average, we enter the REM stage ap-proximately 90 minutes after falling asleep.”

Stage 1 – Known to be the lightest stage in the sleep cy-cle. During this phase, the brain will produce high ampli-tude theta waves (slow brain waves). Usually this takes place within the first 5-10 minutes after you close your eyes. Also, a person can easily be awakened.

Stage 2 – During this stage, the brain creates sleep spin-dles, which are rapid bursts of rhythmic brain wave activity. Heart rate progressively slows down. On WebMD it was stated that “this is a period of light sleep during which poly-somnographic readings show intermittent peaks and val-

leys, or positive and negative waves.”

Additionally, body temper-ature decreases. The body is preparing itself to enter deep sleep (REM).

However, a person who passes the 20-minute mark will fall into the deeper stages of sleep (stages 3, 4 and 5) and may experience a phenome-non known as sleep inertia, which is also known as “sleep drunkenness.” A person wak-ing up from sleep inertia can feel more tired and disori-ented than he/she was once before.

In order to avoid this, it is advocated that a person should continue the full REM

(Rapid Eye Movement) cy-cle and nap for 90 minutes instead. Depending on what time you wake up, the human body will experience exhaus-tion after 8 hours.

With that being said, the best time to nap would be between the hours of 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Health stated that “power naps may boost your ability to process and store in-formation tenfold.”

Find a quiet place and keep yourself away from dis-tractions. If you are going to set your alarm clock on your cellphone active, be sure to keep your mobile device on silent so your text messages and phone calls won’t bother

you.Tips for Power Napping-Power naps only work

best the moment you actually start sleeping so try to set your alarm clock in advance.

-If you are not around a bed, find a couch! However, if you find a hammock nearby on campus, call dibs on it quick, for it may be the answer to sleep slumber.

-WikiHow.com stated that as soon as your alarm clock goes off it’s best to “follow up with physical activity.” Just by doing jumping jacks or push-ups you’re not only waking up your brain but all of your bodily functions.

-Other than exercising right

after you wake up, you can splash water on your face or go outside to expose yourself to a bright light.

-If you are faced with a huge homework assignment and are in need of extra energy, it’s suggested that you take a shot of espresso just before you get ready to nap. Since caffeine takes a while to travel through the system, once you wake up, you will definitely feel the ex-tra kick.

However, in the long run a person shouldn’t follow through with this method all the time because “coffee af-fects the quality of sleep in general,” according to Nap Sounds.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year you want to make a difference, and you proba-bly will within your immediate circle. You notice that others often have a strong reaction to you, which is new. Zero in on your mutual priorities when dealing with your differences. If you are single, a friendship could evolve into something more, but it could create some awkward mo-ments. Perhaps honoring the friend-ship first will help you get through this period. If you are attached, your significant other’s opinions often differ from yours. With much back-and-forth, you will realize that you both want the same things.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Your reactions could come across as strong and harsh. You proba-

bly can’t hide your feelings, but you might feel very awkward when dealing with a child or loved one. Your response could shock even you. Relax and think before you speak. Tonight: Out and about.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH Reach out to someone you care about, but know that what you hear might surprise you. You come from a solid point of view. Off-beat thinking will force you to stop and regroup, and you will come up with a practical plan as a result. Tonight: Let someone be distant.

G E M I N I ( M AY 21- J U N E 20) HHHHH You might consider hav-ing a heart-to-heart talk with some-one who seems to be in control of his or her life, and it could have a

big effect on you. Use good sense with spending. Someone will reach out to invite you to join him or her for some fun. Tonight: Say “yes.”

C A N C E R ( J U N E 21- J U LY 22) HHHHH You might want to have a long-overdue conversation. Be careful, as one of you could be an-grier than anticipated. If it is you, be sure to clear the air in a way that does not close down a con-versation. Tonight: Make it easy.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You might be at odds with your own plans now that you are at the point of acting on them. A new insight will encourage you to back off and re-think what you are doing. Some cau-tion could go a long way! Tonight: Get several important errands done.

V I R G O ( AU G. 23- S E P T. 22) HHHHH You have a lot to share, and so do others. Your goodwill and caring will come through. You will see the results of someone’s deci-sions. Communication flourishes. If you are single, you could be looking at more than a friendship. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Keep your priorities straight, and stay anchored. Let others put in their two cents. You might feel as if there is a lack of support from an important friend. Use caution when spending money on an investment or a home repair. Investigate alter-natives. Tonight: Hang with your friends.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You could be overly concerned about a call or email. Do some research be-

fore reacting – there will be another path to the same result. You might want to rethink a decision with care. Know what you desire from a situa-tion. Tonight: Find your friends.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You will like being mel-low. You might not be in the mood to take action, but a sudden rever-sal could cause your adrenaline to surge. Once energized, you natu-rally will respond and make the right choices. The cheerleader in you re-turns. Tonight: Make it OK to say “no.”

C APRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You will think that you are on cruise control, but you are likely to hit some obstacles if you are not careful. A well-meaning friend could make you feel unusually self-con-scious. You might need to stop and regroup. Tonight: Be decisive.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You may not be comfortable assum-ing the role you’re in, yet you’ll see the benefits. You could be dealing with a difficult person and will need to revise your plan accordingly. Try-ing to control this person won’t bring what you want. Tonight: Vanish.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH A meeting could set the tone of your day. You have so much energy that others won’t be able to keep up with you. Take an over-view, and question whether you are approaching a situation in the best, most positive way possible. Tonight: Act like the weekend is here.

Erin irwin/THE DAiLY ATHEnAEUMHunter Knight, a freshman pre-sport management student, recently got this tattoo because he liked the design.

By Jillian ClementeA&E WritEr

@dAilyAthEnAEum

Look at this font. It was written on a computer with hundreds of fonts to choose from.

But what about the lost fonts, the unique ones that existed at sole print shops?

Those are the ones that Joseph Galbreath cares about. He researches, doc-uments and talks about them. Now he is giving a special lecture on them.

This five-year West Vir-ginia University professor of graphic design is taking

an opportunity to show and talk about his research, which focuses on vernacu-lar design traditions from the American Poster Print Shop.

“The exhibition is par-tially my work, partially some artifacts from Tri-angle Poster and Printing Company in Pittsburgh,” Galbreath said.

There will also be some from the American shop as well. These artifacts can be anything from a large piece of billboard to differ-ent posters made from this company’s primary clien-tele, the circus industry.

“This style of printing

is something that used to happen all over the coun-try,” Galbreath said. “Now, there’s less and less of these shops.”

These shops were unique in the sense that they printed commercially , but also independently. They allowed the designer to actually print what he designed. He didn’t have to send it off to a commercial company.

“It’s not print-making per se. It’s a form of manu-facturing, but it’s on an in-timate, hand-made scale,” Galbreath said. “It’s a part of visual language of 20th-century America and is

something that isn’t well documented.”

That’s why he took the task upon himself to re-search and document this part of American history.

“It’s not as well docu-mented, but it should be because it’s part of Amer-ica’s visual heritage,” Gal-breath said.

As part of his research, Galbreath interviews and photographs artifacts dealing with printing.

“My goal is to tell the story of this genre of print-ing, and the stories are harder and harder to get,” Galbreath said.

Each shop had its

unique typeface, but now they’re all going away.

“Each shop has its own holdings,” Galbreath said. “You used to be able to order word types from a manufacturer. Now, it’s so old that not that many are left. There are not a lot of opportunities to print specimens from large collections.”

That has been his main focus with Triangle, which is what he’s been up to this past year.

Triangle is his second print shop to research, with his first being Globe Poster in Baltimore. There,

he examined and docu-mented the wood types of the lettering.

Galbreath’s gallery is a collection of all these find-ings from his research, along with many artifacts.

These artifacts are on display at the Creative Arts Center, and Gal-breath’s exhibition closes Friday. If you’d like to hear him talk about his re-search with typefaces, he’s speaking at 5 p.m. this eve-ning at Bloch Hall in the Creative Art Center. The event is free and open to the public.

MUSIC TO YOUR EARSAward-winning Symphony Orchestra to blow away audience

FiLE PHOTOThe West Virginia University Symphony Orchestra at the Young Artists Competition Concert at the Creative Arts Center in 2013.

By HannaH HarlessA&E WritEr

@dAilyAthEnAEum

The West Virginia Univer-sity Symphony Orchestra will be performing its first con-cert of the semester today at the Creative Arts Center.

WVUSO became an of-ficial student organization in the spring of 2011, which came with the foundation of the WVUSO Cabinet. The or-chestra is composed of stu-dents who are enrolled in the orchestra class as well as members from the local community.

In order to become part of the orchestra, one must take part in the auditions held at the beginning of each se-mester. Students are re-quired to play a portion of a solo for their instrument, as well as play some of the dif-ficult passages from orches-tra music.

This semester, the orches-tra consists of 75 members. Members can be a part of brass, wind, percussion or string sections. All the mu-sic played by the orchestra is played with a full string section, but each piece calls for different numbers of brass, wind and percussion instruments.

The WVUSO is under the conduction of the Associ-ate Professor and Director of Orchestral Activities, Mitch-ell Arnold. Arnold has an ex-tensive background in mu-sic. He received a masters in composition and a doctorate of music in orchestral con-ducting from Northwestern University. He has been on the faculties of Northern Illi-nois University, Northwest-ern University, Baldwin-Wal-lace College Conservatory of Music and Overlin Col-lege Conservatory of Music. Arnold was also a compos-ing and performing mem-ber of the acclaimed Chi-

cago-based ensemble, Kapture, and has partici-pated in many other mu-sic-oriented programs and activities.

Since Arnold took over as director of the WVUSO, he’s taken the ensemble on a tour of three states in 2012. He also brought WVUSO to Texas, being one of two or-chestras invited to perform at the 2014 national confer-

ence of the College Orches-tra Directors Association. In 2013, the WVUSO was awarded the American Prize Special Citation for Musical and Technical excellence in a national competition.

The concert will be com-prised of three pieces. The first piece that will be played is “Winter Poems,” by Ca-nadian composer Glenn Buhr. The second is “Aca-

demic Festival Overture” by Johannes Brahms. The last piece is Symphony No. 9 in C Major “The Great” by Franz Schubert.

“Each piece has its own special quality,” Arnold said. “The first piece consists of three movements and calls for the largest number of winds, brass and percus-sion. The second piece is only one movement and is

written by one of classical music’s great composers, Jo-hannes Brahms, as a “thank you” piece for the Univer-sity of Breslau. The piece is both masterful and fun. The last piece is the big one and consists of four movements and is exciting, moving and profound. It is an example of how the greatest music, clas-sical or otherwise, has the power to move us, to trans-

port us to other places.”“The audience should ex-

pect great music played with passion and intensity.”

The concert will be held at 7:30 tonight in the Ly-ell B. Clay Concert The-atre in the CAC. Tickets are $5 for students, $6 for se-niors and $10 for general admission.

Concussions and conflicting

values in footballThe old familiar phrases

in the game of football are starting to sound a bit ee-rie these days. “Shake it off.” “Rub some dirt on it.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard those seemingly inno-cent catchphrases used by coaches in my lifetime spent around this game.

In some – and maybe most - cases, they are inno-cent. Sometimes, however, the ultra-macho, tough-as-nails mentality that persists in locker rooms around the country can result in startling consequences.

One of the most tradition-rich programs in college foot-ball history found that out Saturday. During a blowout home loss to Minnesota that would have rocked the Mich-igan fan base to the core re-gardless, the final score of the game became an afterthought when Wolverine head coach Brady Hoke made a decision that could end up costing him his job, and rightly so.

Michigan quarterback Shane Morris took a beat-ing Saturday. He was named the starter heading into the week after an inefficient start to the season by Devin Gard-ner, who is normally No. 1 on the Wolverines’ quarterback depth chart.

After taking a vicious blow to the head in the fourth quarter, Morris was visibly shaken. As plenty of compet-itors would, he waved off the coaching staff on the sideline in order to stay in the game.

Morris had already been hobbling around the field at that point because of an an-kle injury he suffered earlier in the game.

Rather than putting the safety of his quarterback first, Hoke urged Morris on from the sideline. He stayed in the game for one more play, and one more hit, before being lifted in favor of Gardner.

Later in the same posses-sion, Gardner scrambled for a first down near midfield on the Michigan sideline. His helmet came off at the end of the run, and, by rule, he was forced to sit out for a play.

At this point, it appeared Michigan would have to turn to its third-string quarterback Russell Bellomy. That didn’t happen. Inexplicably, Mor-ris was thrust back into the line of fire, put at risk of mak-ing an already bad situation disastrous.

Thankfully, the coaching staff had enough sense to call a quick handoff that would keep Morris from getting hit, but the fact that he was even allowed to step back onto the field after sustaining a head injury is preposterous.

I understand wanting to tough an injury out for your team. That is something that has been ingrained in the minds of most football play-ers since they first started playing the game.

I’m sure Morris was more than willing to go back in the game, but the problem is he should not have been able to. It is up to the team’s medi-cal staff and coaching staff to make sure that any head in-jury is properly examined be-fore a player re-enters a game.

After the game, Hoke said he didn’t see the hit that caused Morris to become visibly shaken up. Just about everyone watching the game did, including ESPN color an-alyst Ed Cunningham, who was broadcasting the game Saturday.

“This young man looked groggy after that hit (and) he’s being put back on the field,” Cunningham said during the broadcast. “He can barely stand up. This is not good player management. We’ve talked about player safety in this game, guys getting hit in the head. This is atrocious to me.”

Times are changing. We know what kind of impact head injuries can have on players’ lives after they are done with football. Teams are doing a much better job of adhering to proper concus-sion protocol on all levels of football. This is just an ugly re-minder that not everyone is completely on board yet.

Doyle Maurer/THe DaIly aTHeNaeuMJamie Merriam looks to gain control of a loose ball during WVU’s win against Niagara earlier this season.

by nicole curtinsports writer

@dailyathenaeum

The Thundering Herd took down the Mountaineers in three sets last night to win the in-state Battle for the Golden Ball. West Virginia lost to Marshall with set scores of 25-19, 25-17 and 25-22. Out of the last 12 times the teams have met, Marshall has won 11.

The loss puts the Moun-taineers at 11-5, 1-1 Big 12 so far this season, and the Thun-dering Herd kept their home win streak alive and are now 9-9, 3-0 Conference USA.

Head coach Jill Kramer said the essential parts of the game were what hurt the Mountaineers.

“It really starts with serv-ing and passing, like it always does,” Kramer said. “They re-ally controlled the game with that, they served well and they passed well and we didn’t re-ally serve well or pass well, and it really limits what you can do offensively and defen-sively when you do that.”

Leading WVU in kills was

junior Nikki Attea who hit .429 on the match with 12, followed by sophomore Jor-dan Anderson with 11. On the Marshall side of the net, sophomore Ally Kiekover led the scoring effort with 16 kills followed by teammate soph-omore Elyse Panick who had 10.

“They started out on a re-ally high clip for the first and second set, and they played good defense against us too,” Kramer said. “For whatever reason, we just didn’t make good reads blocking like we normally do. Our set up wasn’t as good as normal, we didn’t play as good defense around the block, things like that.”

WVU hit for .189 on the match while Marshall hit .327.

Freshman Giana Gotterba started as libero again and led the team with 12 digs. The passing effort was also con-tributed by Attea who had six digs. Anderson had seven digs, and Caleah Wells, Han-nah Sackett and Melvina Brown all had three.

Kramer said having Got-terba start again is showing

what she can do and what plays she can set up on the court.

“She led us in digs again to-night and she did a good job,” she said.

Starting setter Lamprini Konstantinidou finished the match with 28 assists along with two kills and four digs. Konstantinidou and Wells teamed up for the only team block of the night, the lowest blocking total that WVU has put up all season.

“We didn’t play well. I don’t want to take away from Marshall, they played really well,” Kramer said. “There was no part of our game that was good. This is the first time we’ve really performed poorly this year. I think that our losses earlier in the sea-son, we played those teams really tough and we just had a really hard time getting it going.”

The Mountaineers will hit the road again this weekend as they will take on the Iowa State Cyclones at 2 p.m. Sat-urday in Ames, Iowa.

Shorthanded West Virginia blown out by No. 13 New Mexico in Albuquerqueby ryan minnigh

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In its first game against a ranked opponent, West Vir-ginia held its own. In its sec-ond game against a ranked team, they were outmatched by a great deal.

The No. 15 New Mexico Lo-bos blew out the Mountain-eers 6-1 Wednesday night, led by a ferocious offensive attack that put West Virginia on its heels from the beginning.

New Mexico came out fir-ing from the opening kick,

hustling down the field try-ing to catch the Mountaineers off guard. They were about to drive into the box within the first 15 seconds of play and left the Mountaineers a man down.

A red card was given to Francio Henry for a handball in the box, and the Lobos got a penalty kick opportunity only 15 seconds into the match. Ben McKendry converted the chance to give the Lobos the 1-0 lead.

West Virginia got its first and only break of the game on its next possession. A hus-

tle play by Ryan Cain put him in position to take a shot. A miscommunication between the defender and the keeper allowed Cain to score the Mountaineers’ first goal of the game, evening the score at 1-1 at the 17:10 mark.

On a three-on-two oppor-tunity, great passing by the Lo-bos allowed Niko Hansen to slip past the defense and score the Lobos’ second goal of the game just before the 23 min-ute mark in the first period.

Kevin Correa and Sam Gleadle both had opportuni-ties to score for New Mexico,

but one shot was deflected away while the other missed just high of the crossbar.

Midfielder Chris Wehan did not waste New Mexico’s next chance. James Rogers pushed a pass on the ground to Wehan who buried the Lo-bo’s third goal of the half.

Just over three minutes later, New Mexico was on the attack again and banged home another goal. Kevin Correa used his fancy foot-work to split Mountaineer de-fenders and pushed the ball to the far side of the goal to put the Lobos up 4-1 at the 37:36

mark.After substitutions by both

teams, New Mexico was able to come out and score its final goal of the match. Ben McK-endry scored his second goal of the game after hustling to get the ball and put it in the net. The Lobos took a 6-1 lead at the 64:06 point in the game and did not need to add any more goals to the punishment.

West Virginia, which is now 5-5 on the season, will play its next game 7 p.m. Sunday at home against Duquesne.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Schwindel continues to overcome challenges throughout careerby ryan petrovich

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

As conference play con-tinues for the West Virginia women’s soccer team, one player is excited to be back on the field helping her team fight for another Big 12 title.

Senior forward Kate Schwindel is no stranger to injuries. During her four years at West Virginia, she said she’s never been en-tirely healthy.

“(In) my four years, I don’t think I’ve ever been 100 percent, which is crazy to think about,” Schwindel

said. Schwindel started the

season healthy, but mid-way through nonconfer-ence play, she suffered an-other injury and was forced to sit out the remaining nonconference matchups.

She, however, returned to action this past weekend as the Mountaineers be-gan Big 12 play on the road against TCU and Texas.

With nagging bumps, bruises and injuries throughout her career, Schwindel is well aware of what it takes to ease back into playing.

“It’s a little different at first,” Schwindel said. “But,

you can’t go in there with the mentality that you’re hurt or something’s wrong, and you have to bring that same mentality as if you were 100 percent.”

Schw indel’s return couldn’t have come at a better time. The Mountain-eers are looking to claim their fourth straight confer-ence title between the Big East and the Big 12.

With a draw against TCU and a win over Texas this past weekend, the road to another conference title is in full swing.

Schwindel started both games for the Mountain-eers, and she said the first

game – against TCU – was a bit different than the one against Texas.

“Friday (against TCU) was a bit more about me getting back on the field and getting my confidence up,” she said. “Sunday (against Texas) I felt like I was settling back into the role I had before I got hurt.”

Getting back to top form will be a key component come next week. Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown’s squad will square off against No. 6 Texas Tech in another Big 12 showdown under the lights.

This matchup in partic-ular sparks a lot of emo-

tion for Schwindel. Not only were the Red Raid-ers the only team to hand the Mountaineers their one loss in Big 12 play last season, but it was also the game in which Schwindel tore her ACL and missed the remainder of the 2013 season.

Now Texas Tech will come to Morgantown, and Schwindel is highly moti-vated to return the favor and hand the Red Raiders a loss.

“(It’s) a huge matchup,” Schwindel said. “I know I’ve had a whole year to think about it. That was the game I got hurt in. We’re

going to bring a lot, and they have a lot to bring too.”

Texas Tech has already suffered a conference loss; they fell to Texas in over-time, 1-0, last weekend. This is the Red Raiders’ only loss to date.

The Mountaineers and Red Raiders have estab-lished a rivalry in past sea-sons, and the game next week should provide a good showing from both schools.

WVU and Texas Tech will kickoff at 7 p.m., Oct. 10 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

ap

cardinals’ Wacha in bullpen to start nLDS

apCardinals’ Michael Wacha prepares to deliver a pitch earlier this season.

ST. LOUIS (AP) – Michael Wacha, who starred in the postseason as a rookie last fall, will be in the St. Louis Cardinals’ bullpen for the start of the NL Division Series.

It did not come as a surprise.

“I was kind of expecting it,” Wacha said Wednesday after a 40-minute workout

at Busch Stadium.“Just never made it back

to where I wanted to be as a starter,” he added. “I’m just happy they’re going to take a little chance on me in the bullpen.”

Manager Mike Matheny said he’ll go with Adam Wainwright, Lance Lynn, John Lackey and Shelby Miller the first four games

against the Dodgers. The best-of-five series starts Fri-day in Los Angeles.

“If we’re fortunate enough to move forward, things could be different,” Matheny said. “But right now that’s how he’s going to be able to help us the best.”

The 23-year-old Wacha was the NL Championship series MVP last year, out-

pitching Dodgers ace Clay-ton Kershaw twice. He’s had trouble regaining form af-ter a long layoff caused by a shoulder injury and totaled 16 2-3 innings in four Sep-tember starts.

“I’m hoping our starters, they get out there and dom-inate, which I know they will,” said Wacha, who was 5-6 with a 3.20 ERA in 19

starts.Acquired from Boston at

the trade deadline, Lackey beat the Cardinals twice in the World Series for Bos-ton and finished strong this year. Miller barely pitched last fall due to workload concerns combined with season-long difficulties against division series op-ponent Pittsburgh.

“I’m just excited to pitch. I’m excited to help the team however I can,” Miller said. “I felt I was strong and fin-ished well.”

Wainwright was 20-9 and his 2.38 ERA was third best in the NL. Lynn was 15-10 with a 2.74 ERA, Miller was 10-9 with a 3.74 ERA and Lackey was 3-3 with a 4.30 ERA.

rookie managers Williams, ausmus reach postseasonWASHINGTON (AP) – Matt

Williams was in his 18th game as a major league manager, still learning on the job, when he went with his gut.

Williams saw Bryce Harper hit a comebacker in the sixth inning, jog out of the batter’s box and veer off toward the home dug-out, several strides before first base. Williams yanked Harper from the Washing-ton Nationals’ lineup. That decision in April was one of many that made clear Williams would do things his way, something he was

taught by a couple of his managers, Dusty Baker and Bob Brenly.

“Dusty told me to be me. You can’t ... try to be some-body that you’re not. When Bryce didn’t run to first, it made me mad,” Williams said. “You’ve got to be who you are, warts and all.”

Williams, whose Nation-als host Game 1 of an NL Division Series on Friday, and Brad Ausmus, whose Tigers open their ALDS at Baltimore on Thursday, are attempting to accomplish something only four men have in baseball’s long his-

tory: win a World Series as a first-time manager.

Brenly was the most re-cent, with the 2001 Dia-mondbacks, whose third baseman happened to be Williams. The others: Bucky Harris, 1924 Sena-tors; Eddie Dyer, 1946 Car-dinals; Ralph Houk, 1961 Yankees. Only 11 other rookie skippers reached a World Series, according to STATS.

Both Williams and Aus-mus are recently removed from lengthy playing ca-reers (Williams, 48, retired in 2003 after 17 years; Aus-

mus, 45, stopped in 2010 after 18 years). Both re-placed long-time manag-ers (Davey Johnson; Jim Leyland) and kept the pre-decessor’s bench coach and pitching coach. Both took over talented teams (the 2012 Nationals won 98 games; the Tigers’ 2014 AL Central title is their fourth straight).

And both get credit in their clubhouses for keep-ing an even keel, connect-ing with players and, above all, being themselves.

“It’s: How do you get the most out of these individ-uals and humans to win?” Ausmus said. “I think that’s the most important part, and sometimes in this sa-bermetric age, that’s lost.”

The Tigers went 9-20 from mid-May to mid-

June. Starter Anibal San-chez got injured in August. They slid to second place when the Royals went on a tear. Ausmus never wavered.

“Whether we were win-ning six in a row or losing – whatever it was, he was the same guy,” Detroit’s Don Kelly said. “I don’t know about inwardly, but at least to everybody else, he was the same guy.”

Williams dealt with Harper, Ryan Zimmer-man, Wilson Ramos and Doug Fister each spend-ing more than a month on the disabled list. Stephen Strasburg lobbied to stay in games longer. Bullpen management didn’t come naturally.

There were three po-tentially disruptive mo-

ments involving Harper: what Williams called “lack of hustle” in April; Harper publicly voicing lineup opinions in June; a radio-interview flap in August over whether a slumping Harper should go to the minors.

Williams weathered ev-erything, wound up with an NL East title and could be NL Manager of the Year.

“We’ve accomplished one goal, and we’re look-ing for another and an-other and another, hope-fully,” he said, heaping praise on his staff, includ-ing bench coach Randy Knorr, pitching coach Steve McCatty and hitting coach Rick Schu, all hold-overs. “Getting to know the players was important. I think I’ve done a better job of that. Understanding personalities – that takes time.”

Williams himself earned a certain reputation as a player. A “roughneck,” out-fielder Jayson Werth has called him.

“Sometimes things go bad, and you can see him over in the corner of the dugout, steaming at the ears. But he bites his tongue and kind of lets it roll over,” shortstop Ian Desmond said. “It’s good for players to know that he’s making an effort to hold back. It’s, ‘This is not ideal, but I’m not going to yell at you for it, because I remember what it’s like.’”

Brenly recalled a 1993 episode when Williams didn’t hold back. Brenly was on Baker’s Giants staff, Williams was the third baseman, and Barry Bonds had just arrived.

FOOTBALL

Redshirt players impress Holgorsen during bye week

by antHony pecoRaRoassociate sports editor

@pecorarowvunews

Week 5 of the 2014 col-lege football season will not show a win or a loss for West Virginia, as the Moun-taineers had a bye week. However, results were still shown on the practice field by perhaps the future of the WVU football program.

WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said Week 5 gave some younger players an-other chance to show their progress thus far in the WVU system.

“We worked with a lot of the guys that are redshirt-ing. (Freshman running back) Donte Thomas-Wil-liams looked good (and) (JUCO transfer quar-terback) Skyler Howard looked good.”

Thomas-Williams, who was a four-star recruit out of North Carolina, has many within the WVU community anxious to see what he is truly made of. However, by being able to redshirt during a season when the Mountaineers have five backs that are all versatile and bring some-thing unique to the West

Virginia program, Thomas-Williams’ ability to shine in the coming years has high potential.

As for Howard, he was the starting quarterback at Riverside City College in California in 2013, and put up some impressive numbers.

Between helping lead Riverside to a 10-2 record, the National Division Cen-tral Conference Champion-ship and advance to an ap-pearance in the California State Championship game, he also completed 219 of 325 passes for 3,151 yards and threw for 33 touch-

downs, while only throwing six interceptions all season.

In addition to these two up-and-coming players, Holgorsen said more play-ers were also able to show what they’re made of on both sides of the ball last week.

“We have two full offen-sive lines and two full de-fensive lines that are on developmental squads and stuff. (Freshman line-backer) Xavier Preston got a lot of reps and looks good. (JUCO transfer defensive back) Jaylon Myers contin-ues to get a little bit better, which is a work in progress

for him,” he said.Holgorsen said although

he enjoyed seeing the prog-ress of what may be the fu-ture of his program, come next year, he wants to see these players in a different role on the playing field.

“The developmental guys are just a little bit of a work in progress,” he said. “Hopefully we’re not talk-ing about any of those guys here for another year.”

As the Kansas Jayhawks (2-2) come to town in a few days to take the field against WVU (2-2) in what many Mountaineers are hoping will be a revenge

game following 2013’s em-barrassing loss to Kansas, Holgorsen said his entire squad has never seemed so ready to go, as eight straight Big 12 games await West Virginia.

“What I noticed with all of those guys is that they had a bunch of energy and (are) glad to be back,” he said. “We were glad to take a couple of days off, but glad to be back at it. We had probably what I view as the most spirited practice yet this year (Sunday). So, I like where this team is at.”
