New app lessens urgent care wait timeby kaity Wilson

staff writer

A shorter wait time at West Virginia University Urgent Care is now just a download away with the launch of the clinic’s new smartphone app.

The app, which is avail-able for Android and iPhone users, allows pa-tients to check current wait times, store impor-tant health info and learn more about the com-plete range of medi-cal treatments available for minor illnesses and injuries at WVU Urgent Care.

“Providing an updated,

approximate wait time helps to set expectations for our patients,” said Jen-nifer Trippett, public re-lations specialist for the WVU Department of Emer-gency Medicine.

“It’s inconvenient enough to have a minor illness or injury to man-age, so taking the guess-work out of how long they may have to wait alleviates some of that stress.”

The app also includes GPS navigation to locate the clinic and allows pa-tients to submit feedback regarding their visit.

“At WVU Urgent Care, our patients come first. We try to reach out to

the community through events such as health and wellness fairs and so-cial networking such as Facebook,” said Carmen Burrell, Director of WVU Urgent Care.

“The development of a personalized app avail-able on Android and iPhone is the next step in improving patient satisfaction.”

Tippet said it is their hope that over time, reg-ular users of the app will aim to visit the clinic at times when it is less busy, helping to level out the pa-tient flow and reduce wait times.

WVU Hip Hop club searches for spotlight, lifelong memories on campus

by CaRlee lammeRsCity editor

The West Virginia Uni-versity chapter of the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity has been indefinitely sus-pended from campus.

The fraternity, which had already been placed on tem-porary suspension by the University and the national organization, has been sus-pended following an inves-tigation into an alleged haz-ing incident by its members

in October, according to Di-rector of Student Organiza-tion Services Ron Justice.

“The incident came to us through a complaint. We immediately, as a result, had our staff interview a number of students and took infor-mation from a number of people. It was concluded, in working in conjunction with out national office and local alumni, that it was an inci-dent that fits the description of hazing under our code,” he said.

Justice said the incident of hazing did involve alco-hol, and the fraternity re-ceived an alcohol violation in conjunction with the haz-ing violation.

“Alcohol was involved,” he said. “It was a group ac-tivity where the majority of the associate members were present. Again, it was un-sanctioned. It was not part of their educational pro-cess. It certainly deviated from the expectations and the mission of the national

office and also of WVU.” Justice said the WVU sus-

pension is for an indefinite period of time, and officials worked in conjunction with the Phi Gamma Delta Na-tional Office, Phi Gamma Delta Housing Board Mem-bers and the Phi Gamma Delta Alumni Advisory Board in defining the ap-propriate sanctions for the incident.

The official charter sus-pension is expected in Jan-uary when the national or-

For Jessica Burtner there’s no greater feeling than stepping out onto the stage and pursuing her passion.

Burtner, a senior exercise physiology student at West Virginia University, has been taking dance les-sons since she was 8 years old.

“I was very involved with a lot of different activities growing up, but I always migrated toward dancing,” she said. “It’s a great way to express yourself.”

During her time at WVU, Burtner said she met other students who held similar interests but were struggling to find an opportunity to pursue them.

Thus, the WVU Hip-Hop club was born.“I love to perform. I know that there are so many

other guys and girls (who) also love to perform, so I knew that making a club for hip-hop would attract a lot of people,” she said. “I think this school doesn’t and hasn’t had anything like a hip-hop club, so I think it’s a great source of entertainment for our peers. I think it’s a great outlet for us as well; I think we all have a lot of fun.”

sessions with fraternities and sororities each semes-ter on the dangers of hazing. This chapter had completed the required session.

Martin said while the chapter has been sus-pended indefinitely, he be-lieves there is a possibility it could be reinstated in the

future. “I believe the suspension

was an indefinite suspen-sion as opposed to perma-nent,” he said. “So, as I un-derstand it, at least they’ve opened the option that the chapter might be opened sometime in the future.”

Chapter members living in the Belmar Avenue resi-dence have been given no-tice by the Phi Gamma Delta alumni board that they have

until the end of the semes-ter to find other housing op-tions. WVU officials will as-sist them in those efforts.

“I think the message is that WVU is not going to and we don’t tolerate this type of behavior, and we take it very seriously,” Justice said. “So, when the complaint came in, we did do a very thor-ough investigation.”

in his lecture.“He’s a photographer,

so he will be talking about many of the buildings that he’s gone to and photo-graphed. His specialty is abandoned buildings – huge state hospitals and other kinds of state build-ings that are no longer in use. So, he goes in and does this wonderful artistic pho-tography,” she said.

Payne’s book, “Asylum: Inside the Closed World of State Mental Hospi-

tals,” is the result of a six-year exploration of Ameri-ca’s largely abandoned state mental institutions. Trained as an architect, Payne is a graduate of Columbia Uni-versity and earned his mas-ters degree at the University of Pennsylvania.

“The event is open to the public, and it’s free. They will actually open one level of the building at 5 p.m. if people want to see it, but everyone needs to know that it’s not heated,” Bing-mann said.

Bingmann advised all at-tendees to dress warmly. All are invited to attend.

“It’s just a different way of looking and thinking about historic buildings and especially (so) if you’re someone interested in pho-tography because Christo-pher Payne is a well-known photographer,” Bingmann said.

a big disconnect as ‘fiscal cliff’ clock ticks on

ApPresident Barack Obama speaks about the Thanksgiving holiday in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington.

WasHInGTOn (aP) — Re-publicans’ newfound will-ingness to consider tax in-creases to avert the “fiscal cliff” comes with a signifi-cant caveat: larger cuts than Democrats seem willing to consider to benefit pro-grams like Medicare, Med-icaid and the president’s health care overhaul.

The disconnect on ben-efit programs, coupled with an impasse between Repub-licans and the White House over raising tax rates on up-per-bracket earners, paints a bleak picture as the clock ticks toward a year-end fis-cal debacle of automatic spending increases and harsh cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs.

Democrats emboldened by the election are moving

in the opposite direction from the GOP on curbing spending, refusing to look at cuts that were on the bar-gaining table just last year. Those include any changes to Social Security, even though President Barack Obama was willing back then to consider cuts in fu-ture benefits through lower cost-of-living increases. Obama also considered raising the eligibility age for Medicare, an idea that most Democrats oppose.

“I haven’t seen any sug-gestions on what they’re going to do on spending,” a frustrated Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said Tuesday. “There’s a certain cocki-ness that I’ve seen that is re-ally astounding to me since we’re basically in the same

position we were before.”Well, says Obama’s most

powerful ally on Capi-tol Hill, the Democrats are willing to tackle spending on entitlement programs if Republicans agree to raise income tax rates on the wealthiest Americans – a nonstarter with Republi-cans still in control of the House.

“We hope that they can agree to the tax revenue that we’re talking about, and that is rate increases, and as the president’s said on a number of occasions, we’ll be happy to deal with enti-tlements,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Tuesday.

But Reid speaks only in the most general terms, wary of publicly embracing

specific ideas like boosting Medicare premiums or rais-ing the program’s eligibility age.

At the White House, Obama met with a group of small business owners. Participants described the hour-long meeting as a lis-tening session for Obama, with the business own-ers urging him to reach an agreement.

“They had one message for the president, which is they need certainty. Please get this deal done as soon as possible. They very much want consumers out there knowing that they’re go-ing to have money in their pockets to spend. That’s why it’s so important to pass the extension of the tax cuts for 98 percent of consumers,

97 percent of all small busi-nesses,” said Small Business Administration head Karen Mills.

Obama planned to meet Wednesday with more than a dozen leaders from large corporations, including Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, Marissa Mayer of Ya-hoo!, Brian Roberts of Com-cast and Arne Sorenson of Marriott.

Obama hits the road on Friday, visiting a Pennsylva-nia toy factory and broad-casting his case to extend current tax rates for all but those families making more than $250,000 a year.

Private White House ne-gotiations with top aides to House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and others are cloaked in secrecy, with

no evidence of headway.“There’s been little prog-

ress with the Republicans, which is a disappointment to me,” Reid, a key negotia-tor, told reporters on Tues-day. “They talked some happy talk about doing rev-enues, but we only have a couple weeks to get some-thing done. So we have to get away from the happy talk and start talking about specific things.”

Republicans say it’s Obama and his Democratic allies on Capitol Hill who are holding back, and they point to a balance of power in official Washington that is little changed by the pres-ident’s re-election. Republi-cans still control the House, despite losing seats in the election.

young life to raise donations for nuru

To express solidarity with those in poverty and raise donations, members from West virginia Univer-sity’s Young Life College chapter will be participat-ing in the Nuru Water Walk today at 2:30 p.m. in front of the mountainlair.

more than twenty people will walk to the monongalia river, fill five-gallon buckets with river-water and will return to the mountainlair carrying the buckets on their heads.

The act of solidarity is partnered with an initiative by YLC to raise donations for Nuru International, an organization seeking to end extreme poverty and

inspire developed coun-tries to confront the crisis.

Nuru International was started by a West virginia native.

YLC will be selling Nuru T-shirts and bracelets from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with all proceeds going to-ward the donation goal of $4,078.

Once YLC has collected the money, they will do-nate the amount to aid in Nuru’s efforts in Kuria Dis-trict, Kenya.

Dancers in the hip-hop club meet one to two times per week for rehearsals and have performed at various events in the WVU commu-nity. In the future, members of the club hope to perform during halftime shows of WVU sporting events.

Burtner said the club hopes to travel to various competitions, including the National Dance Alliance competition in Florida this spring, even in its first year.

“This is the very first year,” Burtner said. “I almost feel like we can’t get a spot until we prove ourselves.

Vice President of the WVU Hip-Hop Club Lauren Carter said the club has not only al-lowed her to pursue an ac-tivity she loves but it has also given her the opportunity to learn about herself.

“I love absolutely every-thing about dancing. My ded-ication to dance has helped me in other aspects of my life as well. Learning to be committed to dance makes me learn the value of hard work and helps me be a bet-

ter student in my academics,” she said. “Dance is a way of life, and if I go a day without dancing, I feel off; that’s how I know I was meant to dance. It’s great for staying healthy and is a lot of fun.”

Carter said she has dedi-cated her time to spreading the word about the club.

“There are always going to be people who doubt you and what you can do, but it’s those people who make me work harder and dedicate more of my time to being the best dancer I can be and show them I will succeed as a dancer,” she said. “I would like to tell WVU students to ‘look out!’ WVU Hip-Hop Team is coming in fast and strong. It’s a new and excit-ing group, and I truly believe people are going to love us.”

Despite these challenges, members of the WVU Hip-Hop Club said the club has given them the opportunity to give back to WVU and en-gage the University through their passion – dance.

“The thing I enjoy most about being a member of the hip-hop team is that I get to contribute something to WVU, a school that I love so much. I am proud to be in-

volved with my University,” said junior public relations student Amy Poague. “Being a member of this team has made me appreciate all the hard work our sports players do as Mountaineers. I have met some great friends on the team. I look forward to the times I will spend with my team and for all of the perfor-mances and entertainment we can bring to WVU.”

Carter said that while the experiences the club has pro-vided her have been benefi-cial, it’s the friendships and memories she’s built that will last a lifetime.

“Being a part of this team has led me to meet some amazing individuals. As a dance minor, I spend a lot of my time with people who love dance, but if it weren’t for this team, I would have never known how many people love hip-hop just as much as I do,” she said.

The WVU Hip-Hop Club has hosted various fundrais-ing events and hopes to con-tinue throughout the school year, Burtner said.

Auditions for the club are held during the fall semester.

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT | 3Wednesday November 28, 2012

UNDERGROUND SOUND

The world of progressive metal welcomed a worthy addition to its extensive library yesterday with mestis’ debut release, “basal Ganglia,” via Sumerian records.

mestis is the brainchild of guitar virtuoso Javier reyes (Animals as Leaders, T.r.A.m), and “basal Gan-glia” serves as one hell of a first impression for the group’s major-label debut.

For fans of Animals as Leaders or T.r.A.m., the sound of this album will be quite familiar. When one thinks of eight-string guitars and the genre of pro-gressive metal as a whole, the tendency is to think “djent” and heavy, percussive passages of distorted guitars and screamed vocals.

“basal Ganglia,” however, diverges from this beaten path and instead focuses on melody, musical tech-nicality and originality. The album features as much clean guitar as it does dirty guitar work, and the dis-torted passages are often highlighted by the trom-bone work of David Stout (marvin Gaye, Smokey robinson). This manages to keep the album wholly unique and refreshing from start to finish.

That said, the album contains only five tracks for a measly 17 minutes of enjoyment. With an iTunes price set at $7.99, this is a rip-off in my eyes.

Secondly, while the album is unique with regards to the current progressive metal landscape, reyes does not offer anything on this album that we have not already heard in his previous work with Animals as Leaders and T.r.A.m. Yes, it is incredible, but it only manages to support a ridiculously high bar; it does not raise it.

Despite these flaws, “basal Ganglia” is a succinct dis-play of the incredible talent to be found in the world of metal. reyes and company have produced some killer tunes here, and if you consider yourself a mu-sic fan at all (why else would you be reading this?), I highly recommend a listen to the album in the near future.

mouse on mars has always been a difficult duo to identify.

German members Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma have never chosen a specific route or sound, and for that, the group is incredibly hard to classify by today’s rigorous and oftentimes inflexible genre standards.

Since 1993, the two musicians have performed and recorded electronic music with analog synthesizers, modulated recordings and altered live instruments.

Compounding this, their musical persona is con-stantly changing.

Throughout the years, they’ve traveled from chill-out minimalism to freak-out maximalism.

While it is clear one can never know what to ex-pect from the group, in more recent years it feels as if they have gone as far as they wish in each direction, so they’re attempting to complete the circle and con-volve the two ends of the spectrum.

“WoW” is their second release this year, and it was recorded in only a matter of a few weeks.

The album is short with an uncertain progression, but it succeeds as a messy medley of digital imagi-nation. “WoW” is exactly as the title implies – mind blowing.

one minute you’re concerned your stereo might be having a seizure, and the next you’re relaxed and rocking back and forth to quirky grooves.

However unconventional, “WoW” is the closest mouse on mars has approached the genre of club-affiliated bass music.

even if most songs sound more thought-provoking than dancy, there are definitely tracks you might hear at a club during a night on the town.

If you like challenging electronic music, there is a lot to find in mouse on mars’ repertoire. The deeper you delve into their discography, the more you will say, “WoW.”

Fire up the Super Nintendo and power the synthesizers.

Providence, r.I., duo math the band has resurfaced with power to electrify sound waves on their latest spastic effort, “Get real.”

In this release, the group effortlessly crosses exper-imental, dance and punk boundaries.

As a result, to define the fast and powerful 16-track compilation as “fun” would be a massive understatement.

Kevin Steinhauser and Justine mainville meticu-lously craft their caffeine-fueled sound by utilizing an orchestral bed of antique and handmade synthesiz-ers, drum machines, guitars, broken drums kits and, of course, an 8-bit video game system.

With the party mentality and vocal velocity of An-drew W.K., the high energy follow-up to their 2009 release, “Don’t Worry,” maintains its no-care punk at-titude with a hint of heightened lyrical ambition and tighter instrumental work.

Additionally, each track from the album will fea-ture its own music video, available on the band’s web-site, that will reflect the hyperactive vibe of the duo’s personalities.

In this way, math the band is able to provide their audience with some depth and insight into their seemingly erratic and unstructured stylings.

The couple has performed many featured songs during recent live shows alongside acts such as An-drew W.K. and mC Lars, including the standout track “Four to Six,” which exudes a disposition equal parts cheerful and vociferous.

Travelling by van nationwide, math the band con-tinues their “Get real” tour through the end of January on what promises to be a can’t-miss performance. Fill up on coffee and get the sugar ready – this is a rush everyone can enjoy.

‘Moonrise,’ ‘Silver Linings’ lead Spirit Awards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The oddball romances “Moon-rise Kingdom” and “Silver Linings Playbook” picked up five nominations each Tues-day to lead the Spirit Awards honoring independent film.

Both films are competing for the best-picture prize at the Spirit Awards, one of Hol-lywood’s first big announce-ments on the long road to the Oscars.

Also competing for best picture are the father-daugh-ter tale “Beasts of the South-ern Wild”; the black comedy “Bernie”; and the gay drama “Keep the Lights On.”

“Silver Linings Playbook,” a comic drama centered on a man just released from a mental hospital and a trou-bled young widow, earned lead-acting nominations for Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. “Moonrise King-dom,” a first-love story be-tween a precocious boy and girl who run away together, received a supporting-actor nomination for Bruce Willis.

The films each have di-recting and screenplay slots for “Moonrise Kingdom” filmmaker Wes Anderson, who co-wrote the script with Roman Coppola, and “Silver Linings Playbook” filmmaker David O. Russell. “Moonrise Kingdom” also was nomi-nated for cinematography.

Matthew McConaughey received two nominations, for best actor in “Killer Joe” and supporting actor in “Magic Mike.” Past Acad-emy Award winner Helen Hunt has a supporting-ac-

tress nomination for “The Sessions.” Child star Quven-zhane Wallis, who had never acted before, has a best-ac-tress nomination for “Beasts of the Southern Wild.”

Among other acting nom-inees are Jack Black (best actor for “Bernie”); John Hawkes (best actor for “The Sessions”); Rosemarie De-Witt (supporting actress for “Your Sister’s Sister”); Mi-chael Pena (supporting ac-tor for “End of Watch”); Sam Rockwell (supporting actor for “Seven Psycho-paths”); and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (best actress for “Smashed”).

Joining Anderson and Russell in the directing cate-gory are Julia Loktev for “The Loneliest Planet,” Ira Sachs for “Keep the Lights On” and Benh Zeitlin for “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” which won the top prize at last January’s Sundance Film Festival.

Though the Spirit Awards honor lower-budgeted film outside the Hollywood main-stream, the nominations of-ten overlap heavily with Os-car contenders. Last season’s big Oscar winner, “The Art-ist,” also won the top prize at the Spirit Awards, while films such as “The Descendants,” “Beginners” and “My Week with Marilyn” had wins or nominations at both shows.

The overlap may be lighter this season, with big-bud-get studio films such as “Les Miserables,” “Lincoln” and “Argo” shaping as early favor-ites to dominate the Oscars,

whose nominations come out Jan. 10.

But “Silver Linings Play-book,” “Moonrise King-dom,” “Beasts of the South-ern Wild,” “The Sessions” and other smaller films have solid prospects in some Os-car categories.

Presented by the cinema group Film Independent, the Spirit Awards will be handed out at an afternoon

ceremony along the beach in Santa Monica, Calif., on Feb. 23, the day before the Oscars. The Spirit Awards show will air that night on IFC.

Nominees are chosen by panels of film professionals, which gauge contenders on such criteria as uniqueness of vision; original, provoca-tive subject matter; how ec-onomically they were pro-duced; and percentage of

financing from independent, non-Hollywood sources. El-igible films typically range from tiny-budgeted mov-ies shot for $500,000 or less to productions that cost as

much as $20 million.Members of Film Inde-

pendent, who include film-makers and movie fans, are eligible to vote on the winners.

Tuesday, West Virginia University announced that the Phi Gamma Delta fra-ternity has been banned from WVU after an al-leged hazing incident was brought to the attention of University administrators.

Members of the fra-ternity currently residing in the Phi Gamma Delta house located on Belmar Avenue will be required to move out by the end of the semester. According to Ron Justice, the Director of Stu-dent Organization Services, the incident involved a

group of frat members and alcohol.

Although the University has banned the fraternity from campus, more needs to be done to ensure those irresponsible enough to en-gage in this criminal behav-ior are held accountable for their actions. Once the in-dividuals responsible for this particular incident are revealed, they should face a severe punishment. But these reactive measures are not enough.

Even though hazing in-cidents are scarcely docu-

mented, this doesn’t mean they aren’t happening.

Considering the se-cretive culture that en-compasses Greek life, it is hardly surprising most of these incidents are covered up, largely due to fears of retribution against those who dare to speak out. This fact underscores the need for an outside entity to in-tervene and shed light on these abuses. Thus, WVU should launch an inves-tigation of its own across all on-campus Greek or-ganizations, publicize the

findings and sternly pun-ish those organizations that are found to engage in hazing.

This practice, which af-fects colleges across the country and has resulted in dozens of deaths. More-over, according to a Uni-versity of Maine study, 95 percent of cases in which college students believe they are being hazed, they do not report it to the au-thorities. In the same study, 40 percent of college stu-dents said hazing was tak-ing place on their campus.

More than one-fifth of stu-dents said they had person-ally witnessed hazing.

This problem is a very se-rious one, and the lives and well-being of many college students depends on it. Furthermore, this problem exists, whether or not the University acknowledges it. The sooner the WVU offi-cials come to grips with re-ality and devote their en-ergy to dealing with this problem, the better off WVU students will be.

Time for WVU to take on hazing

APPresident Barack Obama, accompanied by House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, speaks to reporters in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, Nov. 16, 2012.

Earlier this month, a group of millionaires trav-eled to our nation’s cap-ital to lobby Congress-men to raise taxes on the wealthy. The Patriotic Mil-lionaires for Fiscal Strength, a group founded in 2010, has a stated goal of letting the Bush tax cuts expire for those making more than $1 million.

For two years, the main sticking point when it comes to deficit reduction has been tax hikes. In 2010, af-ter a long battle, President Obama caved to Congres-sional Republicans and ex-tended the Bush tax cuts for two years. Today, Obama has the upper hand after a convincing re-election and additional Democratic seats in the Senate and House.

Basic economics tells us

that any type of tax or tax in-crease reduces the incentive for work. Any economist will agree with that. The prob-lem is that there is very lit-tle agreement on the extent to which tax increases affect motivation and human be-havior along with how they impact the economy as a whole.

Fortunately, we have data with which to study what past tax increases have done for the economy.

In 1982, amidst a very long recession, President Reagan was convinced that the budget deficit was so severe that a tax increase to reduce the deficit would be good for the economy. U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Richard Lesher wrote at the time that the proposed tax hikes would “curb the economic recov-ery everyone wants.” Lesher predicted less investment, a decrease in stock prices and higher prices for many goods and services. Two

years later, inflation had stayed the same, and unem-ployment decreased by 3.5 percent. The Dow Jones rose by 35 percent in 1983 alone.

Famed economist Arthur Laffer predicted much of the same decline. After Presi-dent Clinton passed a bill increasing taxes on the top earners in the country, Laf-fer said, “Clinton’s tax bill will do about as much dam-age to the U.S. economy as could feasibly be done in the current political environ-ment.” What followed was the longest period of sus-tained economic growth in United States history.

Despite this evidence, this rationale continued into the 2000s. In the early 2000s, Democrats and Republicans alike supported more tax cuts. The result was across-the-board tax cuts and a re-duction in the top income tax bracket from 39.6 per-cent to 35 percent. These cuts were expected to boost growth, and the conserva-

tive Heritage Foundation expected the national debt to be eliminated by 2011. Heritage could not have pre-dicted the two wars, but its predictions were not close.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Prior-ities, since the Bush tax cuts were passed in 2001, they have added a total of $3.35 trillion to budget deficits. These warnings that the sky will fall at the sight of a tax increase have been proven false time and time again. They have still found their way into the conversation in 2012, and they should be ignored.

Now, economists and many business leaders were not completely wrong. Reagan’s economy was boosted by monetary pol-icy of the Federal Reserve, and Clinton greatly ben-efited from the dot-com boom. Some employers had to lay off more work-ers. Some wealthy Ameri-cans did not work as many

hours. But these leaders completely overstated the effects of the tax increases. They did not realize that in-creases in marginal tax rates very rarely discourage the wealthy from working. The supporters of the Bush tax cuts did not understand ba-sic accounting, that govern-ment spending necessarily must go down if revenues are going down. As Nobel laureate Milton Friedman once said, “To spend is to tax.”

Obama’s proposed tax hikes will eliminate some jobs. Some employers will not hire more workers, fear-ing their future profits will take a hit. This is a valid point, just as it is to say that cuts to any federal depart-ment will reduce jobs. En-titlement reform will un-doubtedly reduce the payments of some senior citizens and cause them to spend less. Any amount of deficit reduction during a prolonged recession is go-

ing to reduce demand and consequently, the number of jobs.

Deficit reduction is not the politically popular thing to do. For too long now, the country has racked up enor-mous deficits because it has been unpopular to balance the budget. But sometimes, it is necessary to leave pol-itics behind to do what is right for the country. Some-times, people have to sacri-fice what is near and dear to them to find a solution.

Almost 250 years ago, our Founding Fathers af-firmed our independence, saying, “We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.” These millionaires who lobbied Congress this week are most certainly pa-triots, but they could not solve our problems sim-ply by contributing their own fortunes. The Ameri-can people spoke loud and clear on Election Day. Now, all eyes are on Congress.

Tax hikes necessary for fiscal cliff compromisechrisTopher nydencolumnist

Banning the sale of bottled water on campus might seem like an odd way to take a stand against social injustice, but few people fully understand exactly what they are sip-ping from their disposable plastic bottles. The issues associated with bottled water and the privatization of water in general far ex-ceed those of roadside lit-ter and landfills.

The environmental is-sues surrounding bottled water are nothing new. Plastic bottles are made

from a byproduct of refin-ing oil and, when accom-panied with the gasoline used to transport the bot-tles from one place to an-other, give bottled water a huge carbon footprint. Also, only 10 percent of plastic bottles are recy-cled, sending the rest to landfills, incinerators and waterways, according to Food & Water Watch.

One issue students may find particularly hard to swallow is the effect that water privatization has on human rights in our global community. Buying bot-tled water supports inter-national companies who have succeeded in priva-tizing all municipal wa-ter in third world coun-

tries. The privatization of Bolivian water has led to a doubling of water prices. Many Bolivians cannot af-ford the price increase and there have been mass riots across the nation.

In addition to hurt-ing the global water sys-tem, buying bottled wa-ter supports unjust efforts right here at home. Sev-eral towns in our country have had their municipal water sources claimed and bottled by big companies like Nestlé, Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Even during times of drought, these Ameri-cans are forced to buy what used to be a free resource. Even as they grow thirsty, the companies continue to bottle.

In a survey administered to the American U. com-munity in October 2012, one student posed the ar-gument that purchasing bottled water is everyone’s right. In response, students declared our freedoms only extend until they in-fringe on the rights of oth-ers. Everyone has a right to clean, safe drinking water. This freedom should not be sacrificed for our lux-ury of drinking from dis-posable bottles while our sinks are filled with safer, cleaner water.

The most common mis-conception about bottled water is its superiority to tap water. D.C. tap water is checked for bacteria sev-eral times a day and has a

water quality report avail-able online. Nationally, tap water is regulated by the Environmental Pro-tection Agency under the Safe Drinking Water Act and is held to higher stan-dards for safety than bot-tled water, which is regu-lated as a food product by the Food and Drug Admin-istration. Additionally, the FDA gives the responsi-bility for safety checks di-rectly to the bottled water companies, who are never legally required to release this information.

Also, plastic water bot-tles contain PETs, a chem-ical that is linked with cancer and reproductive issues. PETs begin to leak from the bottle and into

the water instantly. The chemicals leak into the water increasingly due to the duration and temper-ature at which the bot-tle is kept. Ironic that the labels wrapped around those bottles read “pure,” “clean,” and “natural.”

The Take Back the Tap campus group is working to ban the sale of bottled water on the AU campus. Our goal is to have the ad-ministration agree to a campus-wide ban of bot-tled water sales. Bottled water will be available off campus and all other bot-tled beverages will con-tinue to be available for purchase on campus.

Water is life, and life shouldn’t be privatized.

FEATURE OF THE DAY

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year you often will switch from one outlook to the next. You even might feel like a hu-man seesaw of sorts. For some of you, a person in your inner circle could try to reflect the opposite opinion of what you choose. Instead of using black-and-white thinking, try to see that both viewpoints could work, and strive to find some middle ground. If you are single, you could meet some-one significant to your life history, but you could have difficulty with the differences between you.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH The unexpected occurs, like it or not. You might feel as if you can’t make a situation conform to your expectations -- or anyone else’s, for that matter. Stop attempting to handle this issue, and just let it flow naturally. Tonight: Make calls before deciding.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH If ever there was a time not to make a money commitment, it is today. Use care, even when counting your change. If you feel as though you are fiscally careless in some area, decide to change that pattern -- if not im-mediately, then in the very near fu-ture. Tonight: A lucky turn of events.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by every-thing that is happening right now; however, know that you might be the linchpin in this case. Though at first you might not be able to get a grasp on the situation, you will, and faster than you think. Tonight: Enjoy the roller-coaster ride.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Full Moons greatly affect you, as your

planetary ruler is the Moon. This par-ticular Full Moon is an eclipse, which promises changes in the next few months with a child or a relationship. The outcome could be very good. Go with the flow, and take it easy. To-night: Listen well.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Some-thing that you want might fall into your lap in a most secretive manner ... perhaps not today, but in the near fu-ture. A friend could complicate your life. It is up to you whether you will make a fuss about it or just let it go. Remain focused on a different matter in the meantime. Tonight: Celebrate.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Decide to loosen up rather than fight city hall. A boss could be demand-ing, which might cause a conflict for you with someone who has other plans. At the moment, you are see-ing the situation as black and white. Try to find a way in which both de-mands can be met. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH The unexpected marks a situation. You might be trying to hold on to something that really isn’t doable at the moment. Let it go.

Goodwolf to play 123 Pleasant Street

by natalie snydera&e writer

Morgantown’s Goodwolf kicks off their first tour to-night at 123 Pleasant Street with local band the Wild-man Band of Thieves and Old Indian from Frederick, Md., providing support for a stacked lineup.

This show comes as a stop on Goodwolf’s current East Coast tour, where group

founder Tyler Grady will make his way to New York City with friends and fel-low musicians Adam Meis-terhans and John R. Miller, making the solo project a trio.

Meisterhans and Miller have played music for mul-tiple bands that have also made stops at the historic Morgantown venue. Meis-terhans recently made an appearance with his group

The Demon Beat and New York-based band, Fletcher C. Johnson. Miller has made countless stops with the bluegrass band The Fox Hunt and his rock ‘n’ roll band, Prison Book Club.

Now Meisterhans and Miller are teaming up with Grady for what promises to be a talented and experi-enced lineup of like-minded musicians.

Meisterhans is most

known for his role in The De-mon Beat as guitarist and vo-calist, but he recently started taking the initiative to be-come a better drummer and in turn, a more well-rounded musician.

Despite being relatively new to the percussion scene, Meisterhans cherishes his opportunity to play with Goodwolf and jokes about his relative inexperience.

“I’m pumped to play

with Tyler (Grady) and John (Miller),” Meisterhans said. “I wish I was better at drums.”

Grady said Meisterhans asked to play drums in the trio that Goodwolf would be-come before anyone knew it would be a band. Realizing the potential, Grady built his band.

“I knew that if John (Miller) had any time, he would be the perfect fit,” Grady said. “And I love them

both dearly.” Old Indian is also a friend

of Goodwolf’s. They are a three-piece,

heavily blues-influenced rock ‘n’ roll group.

Old Indian played with Grady’s other band, Sleep-walker, at 123 earlier this se-mester. This will be their sec-ond show at 123, but it will stand as just one of the many times this group of musi-cians have played together.

Guitarist and vocalist from Old Indian, Cory Sprin-girth, said he’s excited to be playing at 123 for a second time. He said the venue is full of very responsive peo-ple who appreciate all types of music.

“Where there are good people, there are good times,” Springirth said.

Springirth said the band, which includes Mark Weeks on bass and Evan Owens on drums, is honored to be kick-ing off the tour with Grady.

“Tyler (Grady) is a great songwriter and great person all around,” Springirth said. “He has a ton of passion for his craft, and it shows in his songs.”

Springirth describes Grady’s music as “meaty” with a supportive backbone.

“Hopefully we can kick (the tour) off the best way possible,” Springirth said. “(By) giving people a good show and having fun.”

Rounding out tonight’s bill is The Wildman Band of Thieves, a group which has earned the respect and praise of Grady.

“The Wildman Band is one of the best bands in Morgantown, in my opin-ion,” Grady said. “I work with the bassist, John, and have become drinking buddies with the Halterman broth-ers, who comprise the rest of the band.”

Grady said they sound similar to a lot of early hard rock bands and will be a per-fect fit with Old Indian on this bill.

Come out to the show, and you’re guaranteed to have a good time if you get the chance to talk with any of these musicians.

The cover is $5, and mu-sic starts at 10 p.m. Patrons must be 18 or older to attend.

HOME SWEET HOMEWVU needs Stedman to declare for NFL draft

In recent years, the foot-ball program at West Vir-ginia has seen an inspiring uptick in its national brand. Though the program has seen several improvements to its national reputation, the most recent and drastic transformation started with a man called “Rich Rod” and came to a thumping crescendo in the form of a 37-point dismantling of the ACC champion in the warm breeze of the Miami night a little less than one year ago.

On that night, with only commercials interrupting then-junior quarterback Geno Smith’s shredding of Clemson’s secondary on live television, the Moun-taineers became some-thing different than what they were in the past.

They reinvented their brand.

Membership in the Big 12 Conference was on the ho-rizon, a multitude of play-makers were at the disposal of perhaps the county’s hot-test offensive mastermind at the time, and the ath-letic director overseeing the whole operation was busy pulling a double-shift as dad to the NFL’s next John Elway (No. 1 draft pick and Indianapolis Colts quarter-back Andrew Luck).

That brand, though, took a hit this season, when the Mountaineers became no-torious for poor defensive play and had to deal with constant snickering from naysayers reminding West Virginia they weren’t in the ever-soft, crumbling joke known as the Big East anymore.

Today’s world of college football moves so fast with people and teams, confer-ences and coaches mov-ing in and out of the spot-light before they have a chance to fully introduce themselves.

The brand that sur-rounded this team with the aura of the Orange Bowl victory is gone; good or bad, it’s moved on. A recov-ery, though, is in the works; For that, West Virginia can thank former defensive end Bruce Irvin, a member of the Seattle Seahawks and perhaps the hottest defen-sive rookie in professional football.

Former Mountaineer greats like Sam Huff (an NFL Hall of Fame inductee) and Jeff Hostetler (a Super Bowl champion) have shown that West Virginia players have the capability to become great professionals.

However, until Irvin’s ar-rival, the most consistently recognizable player in the pros that came from West Virginia is Colts kicker/punter Pat McAfee (sorry, Pacman, that’s not the kind of spotlight I’m talking about).

If you look at the past de-cade in the NFL draft, the same schools dominate the draft boards. Like factories for future professionals, these schools (USC, Flor-ida, Alabama, etc.,) have an aspect of their brand that West Virginia has never, ever quite had.

That’s an indisputable fact. As a university, West Virginia has continued to swell in enrollment, popu-larity and national prom-inence. Morgantown has been recognized as one of the country’s best college towns – a claim I can cer-tainly attest to. However, at the end of the day, some of the nation’s best high school players will never commit to a school based on the aforementioned factors.

For a guy who is set on playing in the NFL, it doesn’t matter what kind of town it is; the Mountaineers haven’t quite been able to compete in that arena yet.

But that might be changing.

This is why redshirt ju-nior Stedman Bailey declar-

Two of the top programs in NCAA rifle history faced off Nov. 17-18, when No. 2 West Virginia traveled to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks for the first time in recent history to take on the No. 4 Nanooks.

“It was a great trip. It was a really good experi-ence for everyone,” said head coach Jon Ham-mond. “(It’s) really good to go up and shoot against a quality opponent. We had two days of really good competition, and it was a great way to finish the semester.”

The Mountaineers and the Nanooks have com-bined for 24 national championships, with West Virginia winning an NCAA-best 14. Fac-ing such a quality op-ponent, Hammond was pleased with the Moun-taineers’ performance on the range despite the frigid temperatures out-side, the hours of travel and the fact that the op-ponent looking down their sights was a historic program.

“More important than the wins, really, were the performances we had,” Hammond said. “We were able to shoot two really high scores both days. It was just a really solid team effort.

“Obviously it’s nice to get the wins against an-other top program. But you know, I think the performances were even more important than that.”

In the first match, the Mountaineers once again flirted with the NCAA re-

cord for a team score, as they won 4,719-4,670. West Virginia missed ty-ing the record they set Nov. 9 against Ole Miss by one point. The Ole Miss match was the second time this season WVU broke the record.

On day two, the Moun-taineers once again out-shot the Nanooks, while winning the match 4,716-4,651. West Virginia’s two victories during Thanks-giving break allowed the Mountaineers to take an 8-6 all-time advantage over Alaska-Fairbanks.

Despite business as usual in the rifle range,

the trip to the Last Fron-tier did allow for some sightseeing. Arriving a day early, the Mountaineers experienced some of the wonders Alaska had to of-fer, including an ice resort, a dip in a hot spring and a visit to a sled dog kennel. Besides the victories, the Mountaineers benefitted from the team-building experiences on the trip.

“It’s a chance for every-one to get away and spend some time away from the range,” Hammond said. “We were able to get a day off to see some sights.

Bob Huggins and the West Virginia men’s basket-ball team are in uncharted territory.

For the first time since 1980, the Mountaineers are off to a 1-3 start to begin a season.

Huggins, who is his sixth season at the helm, has taken WVU to the NCAA tournament every sea-son since he arrived in Morgantown.

West Virginia (1-3) will look to regain its winning ways Wednesday night at the Coliseum against Big South Conference foe Vir-ginia Military Institute (3-3) in the Mountaineers’ home opener.

Despite the early strug-gles from his team, Huggins is confident things will be corrected.

“We’re going to be al-right. We’ll get things straightened out,” Huggins said. “We’ve played, to this point, a heck of a sched-ule. According to whoever does that, it’s the fourth best schedule in the country.”

The Mountaineers had a road game against No. 17 Gonzaga to begin the sea-son before competing in the Old Spice Classic in Or-lando, Fla., during Thanks-giving Break.

The Keydets don’t pres-ent as storied of a program as some of the opponents West Virginia has faced to this point in the season, but they are still talented.

VMI is No. 10 nationally in points per game, scor-ing more than 85 points per outing.

This style of play may al-low the Mountaineers to do something they’ve been try-ing to do all season – play fast offensively.

“We’re going to try to play faster,” Huggins said. “We don’t want them to play fast. We want to play fast. People that are good don’t let the other team play fast … We haven’t done that as much as we need to.”

Many of the struggles by West Virginia this sea-son can be attributed to the inexperienced players on the roster. While there are upperclassmen across the board, some, such as se-nior Matt Humphrey, trans-

ferred to WVU and are play-ing their first few games for Huggins.

Building chemistry is something that takes time.

“For as much as we think we’re maybe a veteran team, we’re not,” Huggins said. “We’re not a veteran team playing the way we’re trying to play.”

The catalyst of the Moun-taineers’ offensive strug-gles this season has been a low field goal percentage. West Virginia ranks No. 277 in the country in shooting percentage and is shooting less than 40 percent from the floor per game.

Huggins, though, feels there are ways to put the ball in the basket other than shooting jumpshots.

“We’ve got to do a better

job of making shots … Scor-ing is not always just shoot-ing the ball,” Huggins said. “There are a lot of other guys who score that find ways to score.”

West Virginia has only played four games through the first few weeks of the season, while other teams have played as many as seven or eight games.

Sometimes not all mis-takes are correctable in practice.

“It’s hard to simulate games in practice,” Hug-gins said. “That’s why high school guys scrimmage as many times as they scrim-mage. When you scrim-mage against someone else, it helps.”

holgorsen wants to end season on high note

Alston provides spark for Mountaineer offense

by MichAel cArVellisports editor

At the beginning of Fri-day’s win against Iowa State, it was easy to see that the West Virginia football team was work-ing with a much healthier Shawne Alston than it had the last few weeks since he returned from his thigh injury.

The Hampton, Va., na-tive surpassed the 100-yard mark for the first time since the Mountaineers’ sea-son opener against Mar-shall and finished with 130 yards on a season-high 19 carries.

“His week leading up to this game was a lot better than it had been,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Last week’s game (against Oklahoma) wasn’t his type of game. He got the knee brace off, which gave him a little bit more mobility. With him back there, we’re better.”

West Virginia had 239 yards on the ground, its third-highest total of

the season, against the Cyclones.

And Alston teamed up with Tavon Austin in the backfield to make a dy-namic duo who comple-mented one another pretty well and helped give the Iowa State defense a dif-ferent look throughout the game that it wasn’t used to seeing.

“They’re a very good de-fense. Just a grind-it-out, physical type of defense, and you have to be able to lean on those guys a lit-tle bit,” said running backs coach Robert Gillespie. “We wanted to get the ball to Tavon, but we also knew that we had to get in there and just get the tough, gritty yards, and (Alston) is our best option to do that.”

While Austin didn’t have the 344-yard rushing per-formance he had against the Sooners, getting that variety and the differences in the style of play allowed the Mountaineers to have success offensively through the ground game.

“What Tavon did last

week was supernatural. That doesn’t happen ev-ery week at running back. He’s just a guy who natu-rally has that ‘it,’” Gillespie said. “It definitely gave us a good combination of some speed and some power in the game.”

For Alston, it was just nice to be back out on the field again.

He got seven carries in the TCU game for 16 yards after not registering a carry since the James Madison game Sept. 15, but then re-ceived just one carry in the next two games prior to the Iowa State game Friday.

“Today was just a day to go out here and showcase what I could do,” Alston said.

“There were a couple times in there where Ta-von was just a decoy, and I think that throws the de-fense a little bit and, with the job the offensive line was doing in the trenches, it was only right that I had a good day.”

[email protected]

Matt Sunday/the daily athenaeuMWest Virginia running back Shawne Alston ran for more than 100 yards for the first time since the Mountaineers’ season opener against Marshall in WVU’s 31-24 victory against Iowa State.

Matt Sunday/the daily athenaeuMWest Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen and the WVU football team will take on Kansas in the regular season finale Saturday afternoon.

“You have that camara-derie of being on the road and somewhere new. It was definitely a fun trip.”

With the Mountaineers’ return, they now embark on a nearly two-month hia-tus from team competition, but that does not mean they will abstain from competing completely.

“We’ll still have practice

the next couple weeks un-til finals,” Hammond said. “Some of them will have a couple matches. The Na-tional Selection match for air rifle (is) this coming weekend, and some of the younger (team members) will shoot their National Ju-nior Olympic qualifier.”

While the Mountain-eers may not be shooting as a team for the next two months, the No. 2 team in the country will look to re-main fresh so the second

half of the season is as suc-cessful as the first.

“We’ve had a really good semester. (I’m) defi-nitely impressed with how the team’s progressed and some of the scores we’ve been able to shoot,” Ham-mond said. “I think the great thing is we still have a lot of potential left in the team.

“Hopefully, we can con-tinue that next semester.”

West Virginia head coach Dana Hol-gorsen knows this season won’t end like last year when West Virginia defeated Clemson in the Orange Bowl, but he does know the Mountaineers still have a winning record to play for.

“There is a big difference in 7-5 and 6-6 in our minds. We will work our tail off to get as prepared as we can,” Holgorsen said. “We have to keep pressing forward.”

A winning record for WVU will likely keep them in a warm weather bowl game like the Holiday Bowl in San Di-ego as opposed to the Pinstripe Bowl in New York City if they were to finish at .500. Though Saturday is Senior Day for Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and 20 other Mountaineers, Holgorsen believes that real Senior Day is playing in a good bowl game.

“For 22 of our guys, this will be the last home game that they will play for West Virginia,” Holgorsen said. “They’re ex-cited about it, and I am excited about preparing them for it.

“This game, much like the Pitt game last year, will be their last time here, but we want to enjoy a good bowl experience with them.”

If WVU is to get to that seventh victory, it knows it cannot take Kansas lightly. With just one win against an FCS oppo-nent and no wins in Big 12 conference play, Holgorsen has assured his players

not to look ahead to the bowl game be-cause five of Kansas’ 10 losses have come by a touchdown or less.

“If our guys have learned anything this year, it’s you better be ready to play. All of the opponents in the Big 12 can win on any given day. Kansas is no differ-ent,” Holgorsen said, “They are a cou-ple points away from having three Big 12 wins this season. We have to play hard.”

Holgorsen and his defensive staff have to prepare the defense to slow down Kansas’ running game. Ranked No. 19 nationally, the Jayhawks average 216 yards a game on the ground. With a one-two punch of James Sims and Tony Pier-son, WVU’s defense will be tested again.

“They have become more of a running team. They are going to lean on their two good running backs, James Sims and Tony Pierson. They are a top-20 team in the country when it comes to rushing of-fense,” Holgorsen said. “Ultimately, de-fensive football is getting in your gaps, defeating blocks and making tackles. We have done that in the run game a good bit, with the exception of tackling Iowa State’s quarterback.”

West Virginia’s run defense is giving up a little more than 140 yards per game on the ground, so Holgorsen under-stands that there is a shot to shut them down.

“We think we match up with them pretty well,” Holgorsen said.

ing for the NFL draft would be a good thing for West Virginia.

With quarterback Geno Smith and inside receiver Tavon Austin both gradu-ating – and headed to NFL locker rooms – it would ultimately benefit Bailey to follow his buddies into playing Sundays.

Bailey is a hypertalented receiver with impeccable hands and great speed, but if history is any indi-cation, sometimes coming back for a senior season

can cost players all of those things. An injury would cost Bailey tons of money and the ability to shine in the pros as a former Mountaineer.

If Smith, Austin and Bai-ley are all drafted into the right situations, a triumvi-rate of talented ex-Moun-taineers will draw attention to this program that it has never received.

Besides, as tough as Bai-ley’s departure would be for next year’s team, an-other player would be given an opportunity that didn’t previously exist. If it’s going to be a rebuilding year, you may as well go all-in and

call it as such.Ultimately, Stedman Bai-

ley’s future is brightest out-side of Morgantown. As a player who has set numer-ous school records in his three year career, he has al-ready drawn the eye of po-tential recruits and shown them that West Virginia is a place where talented high school players can go to become great college competitors.

Now it’s time for Bailey, Smith and Austin to show those players the same is true for the transition from West Virginia to the NFL.

While most West Virginia Univer-sity students were at home enjoying their break from the chaos of classes, the Mountaineer volleyball team failed to catch a break of their own in a season-ending loss to TCU Saturday.

After a sluggish start against West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer’s alma mater, the Mountaineers strug-gled to ignite offensively, as a .011 hit percentage anchored all attempts at a comeback for the young West Vir-ginia squad.

“I think this loss was really tough for the girls,” Kramer said. “They re-ally wanted this one to go their way. They’ve been working so hard, and they’ve put forth great effort. It’s tough to see that not paying off right now.”

The loss to the Horned Frogs capped a 16-game losing streak to end the season and a 0-16 Big 12 Confer-ence record for the Mountaineers as the team shifts gears toward offseason preparations.

“I think there is a lot we did well this season,” said West Virginia libero Anna Panagiotakopoulos. “We’ve done a great job of adjusting and just getting better as a whole throughout the season.”

Panagiotakopoulos became a big part of the Mountaineer’s adjust-ments this season. The freshman li-bero went down with an undeter-mined lower back injury in October and forced the team to play without their leading defender.

West Virginia outside hitter Han-nah Sackett took notice of her own defensive shortcomings during that time, which led the coaching staff to put Sackett to work on her defensive skills.

“I definitely need to focus on my leg strength in the offseason,” Sackett said. “I need to be able to get down and dig more balls out and just be prepared to improve defensively. All season I’ve just eaten up the criticism the coaches have for me. I love it, and I’m ready to get to work and get ready for the fall season.”

In Big 12 play, volleyball is a way of life, as the conference has pro-duced four top-25 teams this season and may have a strong shot to post an NCAA champion as No. 3 Texas looks to make a run in this year’s NCAA volleyball tournament. Accordingly, the expectations for Kramer and her Mountaineers are as high as can be.

“We play in the Big 12, and it’s a tough conference,” Panagiotakopou-los said. “Our expectations are very high. I think with all the improve-ments we’ve made already and with our improvements during the spring, we will come back much stronger next year and take half or maybe more than half of our conference games. We will definitely give Texas a run for their money.”

Panagiotakopoulos has emerged as a solid candidate to take over the cap-tain’s position, which will be vacated

by senior Karly Rasmussen, who was recently named Big 12 Conference All-Academic athlete and will gradu-ate with a 4.0 GPA.

“Having that consistent emotional support is something we need,” Sack-ett said. “Especially with all the lulls and highs of the season, it’s impor-tant to have that stability and having (Anna) around with Brittany (Sam-ple) and me is huge for that.”

Sackett and Panagiotakopoulos both end the season as leaders in kills and digs for the Mountaineers with 267 and 297 respectively. Freshman setter Brittany Sample fell just 40 as-sists shy of having her first 1,000-assist season of her collegiate career, as the Red Oak, Texas, native recorded 960 assists throughout the season to lead WVU in the category.

The West Virginia wres-tling team and head coach Craig Turnbull knew the kind of talent that was coming into Morgantown Nov. 18 when No. 1 Penn State came into the WVU Coliseum.

The Nittany Lions were coming off of a lopsided 29-6 win against No. 24 Le-high, carried the momen-tum into the Coliseum to defeat the Mountaineers 44-3. Junior Colin John-ston earned the only win of the day by defeating Penn State’s Nate Morgan.

“I just went out there and did my job,” Johnston said. “It’s not that much of an accomplish-ment to be the only winner, and I just knew what I had to do.”

Coach Turnbull’s thought process leading up to the match was going up against the best competition in the country will bring out the best in his group. With only one win throughout the day, it seemed as if West Virginia lost sight of their coaches message. After suf-fering such a marginal loss, Turnbull wasn’t angry with his team; he was more em-barrassed that his team lost that way in front of a crowd of 1,631.

“I do think some of the guys did rise up and per-form. Everybody tried to put up a fight. I think some could have put up bigger fights but the match is be-hind us now,” Johnston said. “He was a little dis-appointed in the way we came out and performed. There was such a big crowd there, and we didn’t per-form well. We were all a lit-tle embarrassed.”

Even though the wres-tling team left the Coli-seum dejected, it won’t stop Johnston from taking away something positive from the meet.

“Penn State was a big learning experience; it is a building block,” John-ston said. “Losing like that builds character.”

With the loss behind it, WVU hopes to get back on track this weekend at the Las Vegas Invitational. West Virginia will have a full week of practice to prepare for the Las Vegas meet. Senior Shane Young and freshman Bubba Schef-fel will use this week to get healthy after missing the Penn State meet.

“We will work on the mistakes we made against Penn State. This is a learn-ing experience that we are having. It is early on in the season, and I think we can get back right on schedule,” Johnston said.
