Bell-ringing honors student By JacoB BoJesson

Staff Writer @Dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s Alpha Phi Omega service fra-ternity held a bell-ringing cere-mony Friday in remembrance of student Shane Travis Raines.

Raines, a native of Cross Lanes, W.Va., was a doctoral student in economics who passed away suddenly Dec. 25 at the age of 37.

Raines earned his under-graduate degrees at WVU in the late 90s, double majoring in

economics and mathematics.Several of Raines’ col-

leagues and former instructors spoke about the impact Raines had on them.

“One of the best ways to characterize Travis was as a gentleman,” said Brian Cush-ing, associate professor of eco-nomics, who taught Raines as an undergraduate stu-dent. “He was respectful, had good values and was just a re-ally nice person. There’s no surprise students liked to be around him. I think in a short time he was able to touch a lot

of lives.”In between attaining his two

degrees at WVU, Raines taught at several universities, includ-ing Duke University and The University of North Carolina.

While at UNC, Raines be-came the first instructor in the history of the University to win every teaching award available.

“He cared deeply about the students,” said Brad Hum-phreys, professor in econom-ics at WVU. “He always went the extra mile to make sure that all questions were answered.

I’ve been teaching at the Uni-versity for 25 years, and Travis was by far the best teaching as-sistant I’ve ever worked with.”

As a West Virginia native and WVU alumnus, Raines had a passion for the Univer-sity and its athletic teams.

Family members and ac-quaintances also said he had a hunger for knowledge and research, which was clear from the age of 2 when he got his first library card.

“He knew what he wanted

WVU Center for Black Culture & Research celebrates 25 years

Living the legacy

@Dailyathenaeum

West Virginia Univer-sity’s Center for Black Culture & Research cele-brated 25 years of activity and achievement in con-junction with Martin Lu-ther King, Jr. Day.

T h e o r g a n i z a t i o n hosted two events to cel-ebrate: the 24th annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Unity Breakfast in the Mountainlair Ballrooms and a Silver Anniversary Gala Monday evening.

Nearly 250 students and faculty members at-tended Monday morn-ing’s breakfast.

Fred Lee Hord, director and professor of African American studies at Knox College and Director of the National Association for Black Culture Centers,

spoke at the event. During his speech, Dr.

Hord spoke about matters that MLK Jr. discussed during his lifetime. A main focal point of these was the idea of creating a revolution of values.

Hord said accord-ing to MLK Jr., a per-son’s reputation should be based on how well he or she serves other peo-ple, not how much he or she has. He stressed the idea that racial condi-tions have improved, but as a society, America has not yet reached its final destination.

“We worship things more today than we ever have, and it scares me,” Hord said. “It has caught on to the point where we do not only not apol-ogize for it, but we see it as a norm that being

University administration prepares for accreditation processBy Laura haight


With only a few months to go, the West Virginia Uni-versity administration is reaching its final stages of preparation for reaccredita-tion in April.

Accreditation is how universities are evaluated to ensure they are meeting and maintaining minimum standards for academics and administration.

WVU will welcome the Higher Learning Commis-sion’s peer review team to campus April 7-9. The team will conduct interviews with students and faculty to an-

alyze WVU’s performance.WVU Provost, Michele

Wheatly, said faculty and staff have been preparing for the accreditation pro-cess since August 2011. However, this process is most likely not a major con-cern for most students.

“One of our challenges is trying to figure out how to educate the students about what accreditation is,” Wheatly said. “This is not something that they’ve nec-essarily heard much about.”

WVU has been prepar-ing a “self-study,” which is a self-assessment of improve-ments made over the past few years. This report will then be read and evaluated

by the peer review team af-ter they’ve conducted their own assessment of WVU.

Wheatly said students should care about accred-itation because it serves as the University’s li-cense to operate and make improvements.

“We like to feel that we’re going to be adding value to all the degrees that are earned,” she said.

Wheatly also said one of the major accomplishments WVU has made since the last accreditation 10 years ago has been adding new majors and programs.

“We have to change with the times in response to what kinds of knowledge or

skill sets employers want,” she said.

Among new majors and programs, WVU has been constructing new buildings for research and education.

According to Wheatly, since WVU last went through the accreditation process, the University has also begun to look at learn-

ing as a continuum instead of the old-fashioned grad-ing system.

“A student who earns an A might have already taken this class in high school,” Wheatly said. “So actually they may have not learned anything in your class, but they happen to have a mas-tery of the material and they earn an A.”

Assessment looks at how much students already know when entering a class and then how much they learned after completing the class.

Wheatly said a good teacher will choose to do an assessment cycle and plan their lessons accordingly.

“We’re moving away from just being focused on the grades,” she said. “There will always be change, but the important thing is we are headed in the right direction.”

Elizabeth Hamilton an, Accreditation and Planning officer, said accreditation is also extremely important for students with financial aid.

“If we aren’t accredited, we can’t receive federal funds for student financial aid,” said Hamilton. “So it’s absolutely critical.”

H a m i l t o n s a i d accreditation is also a way

Three West Virginia University charter buses trans-ported students to the state capital Monday to take part in a day of community service.

WVU’s Center for Service and Learning organized the event in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr., and encouraged students to “make it a day on, not a day off” by volunteer-ing their time and day off from classes.

Students worked with individual organizations located in the West Side of Charleston as a part of the “West Side Revival.” The Salvation Army, West Side Community Gar-den, Charleston chapter of the Red Cross, and Goodwill were among the charities that received student volunteers.

A number of student organizations participated in the event and individual students were invited to sign up, as well. The Student Government Association, Silver Wings,

taziki’s named one of 2014’s top franchises By aLexis ranDoLph


Taziki’s Mediterranean Cafe franchise has found great success in the last year with plenty of help from its Morgantown locations.

Taziki’s was recently named one of Franchise Business Review’s 2014 Top Franchises.

Seth Williams, vice presi-dent of marketing for Tazi-ki’s, said The Franchise Business Review interviews businesses about how well the franchise is doing.

“It is a really cool barom-eter because it is telling us whether or not our fran-chisees are likely to open another store,” Williams

said. “They interview thou-sands and thousands, and it’s really cool to be a part of that.”

Taziki’s also plans on opening at least 20 new lo-cations in 2014. These new locations will be in 12 new states, including South Car-olina, Texas and Virginia.

“Over the course of the year, we opened our 20th store in December 2012 and our 32nd store in De-cember of last year,” Wil-liams said. “That is 12 stores, which is a 60 per-cent increase.”

With all this growth, the franchise also built its big-gest location yet, which in-cluded a drive-through, something it hopes to in-clude in future locations.

However, the company is still relying on the old.

“We are hoping with all of the recent publicity from both the growth and from the franchise award, we will be able to break into new markets and metropolitan areas, such as Pittsburgh, being close to Morgan-town,” Williams said.

The West Virginia Uni-versity Mountainlair lo-cation continues to be the only one in a student union.

This location gives all of its profits back to the Uni-versity through its hos-pitality and tourism pro-gram. Doug Van Scoy and Michael Bodnar, both WVU graduates, opened and do-nated the Mountainlair

Taziki’s in 2010. The busi-ness has grown ever since.

“When my partner and I were up there a few years ago, we were in the Mountainlair, and we saw there weren’t many op-tions for students,” Van Scoy said. “Everything was either a pizza, sub or ham-burger, and we said, ‘Our food is healthy and differ-ent. I think these students would like our food.’”

According to Van Scoy, this location has more than one purpose.

“We saw it as having a two-fold purpose. It would function as a restaurant serving good food and do-nating profits and as a lab to gain hands-on experi-ence for the hospitality pro-

gram,” Van Scoy said. Van Scoy said the success

of the WVU location helped them understand the mar-ket of young healthy eaters, and this helped decide the locations for future Taziki’s.

“Morgantown helped us rethink the demographics and reevaluate where facil-ity and places would target this demographic,” he said. “We are finding great suc-cess with young people.”

Van Scoy said he and Bodnar have been looking at other college campuses, and there are two reasons for the success.

“At first, we didn’t do a very good job explaining to students the profits go back to WVU. I think once we made it a little more

clear the students are the beneficiaries, more peo-ple started coming in to eat,” he said. “Secondly, we started our grab-and-go breakfast program, know-ing many students have class.”

According to Van Scoy, former WVU president James P. Clements, was one of Tazikis’ best customers.

“President Clements called me from Clem-son and said he was going through Taziki’s withdrawal and asked if we could put one down there,” Van Scoy said.

and where he wanted to go,” said Stratford M. Douglas, graduate coordinator with the economics program at WVU. “I think that’s reflective of the teaching awards that he got down in North Carolina. It was a joy to see the potential he had, and I’m sorry that it was kept short.”

Raines is survived by his wife, parents, brother, nephew and both maternal and pater-nal grandparents.

His services were held in Cross Lanes on Jan. 4.

successful is having a whole lot of money and a whole lot of things.”

The Center for Black Culture & Research has made incredible strides since their humble begin-ning in a single room in E. Moore Hall 25 years ago. The group now operates in their own house at 590 Spruce St.

WVU CBC&R director Marjorie Fuller said she

has had the pleasure of watching the organization expand and prosper into a resourceful group.

“It has grown to a stand-alone center. We have a student lounge, a com-puter lab, offices, a meet-ing space and a big ve-randa where we do our ‘welcome back’ barbe-cues,” Fuller said. “We are making every effort to make sure that we con-tinue to produce and grow students into the future.”

Fuller also said some people have misunder-stood the group’s goals,

but that this challenge was overcome with sup-port from the University and its students.

“Our mission is primar-ily support and advocacy for students to make sure that the campus commu-nity and the greater Mor-gantown community have access to the cultural in-formation that we have to offer,” Fuller said. “We basically provide support for the study and research in the African American experience.”

for the University to doc-ument the changes made throughout the course of 10 years.

“This has a lot of his-torical value and is also a chance for WVU to sit back and see all the things they

are doing and take a survey and say, ‘How can we make it even better?’,” Hamilton said.

Hamilton said she is ex-cited for reaccreditation and is confident it will be a positive experience for WVU.

“Giving people a chance at having a higher educa-tion degree is why I come here everyday,” Hamil-

ton said. “It’s giving peo-ple opportunities they may not have otherwise had.”

and Braxton Tower were just three of the student groups that had strong presence at the event.

Dennis Floyd Jones, Col-lege of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences faculty member, said he noticed a sense of enthusiasm among the diverse group of students.

“They really want to pay it forward. When we asked them to volunteer it was very encouraging and really enlightening to see that so many students cared,” Jones said. “I really believe that we see younger people engag-ing more. I think they really want to help. If we give them a purpose and opportunity they can do it.”

Adam Pauley, student member of the Silver Wings community service group, said he found it reward-ing to provide service in an area that desperately needed assistance.

“It feels wonderful look-ing at peoples’ reaction to us being here,” Pauley said. “Not only representing WVU, but our own organization.”

At the West Side Goodwill,

students helped to prepare the building for future reno-vations. Parts of the current location will be remodeled to create a career center for lo-cal citizens. Additions will in-clude rooms to host classes, an expanded computer lab and a “dress for success” clothing area.

Kathy McKinley, Direc-tor of Community Relations at the West Side Goodwill, said 1,100 individuals were served at the Goodwill last year.

“Our job is to help peo-ple get the education train-ing that they need to take the next step in employment,” McKinley said. “It’s one more opportunity for peo-ple to have the option to be comfortable in expanding their skill set.”

Amanda Stoner, a fresh-man international stud-ies and environmental geoscience student, volun-teered alongside fellow SGA members at the Salvation Army.

“It’s great to give back and get involved, especially in Charleston, where they’ve had a lot of hardship lately,” Stoner said. “I was really excited to be able to come down and give back to those who have had such bad luck.”

The Salvation Army re-ceives donations, processes and prices them and uses the money from sales to help community members in need by providing free cloth-ing, furniture and food pan-try items.

“We operate on a very low staff and we get many donations,” said Caro-lyn Norvell, Salvation Army store manager. “Vol-unteers are a must for us.”

Kristi Wood-Turner, Di-rector of the Center for Ser-vice and Learning, said the student response to the en-tire event was phenomenal.

The Center for Service and Learning coordinates multi-ple days of service through-out the year, including days dedicated to Adventure West Virginia, the Mountaineer Success Academy, a Day of Caring and Make a Difference Day.

“We work all the time trying to figure out ways to get students involved and push the importance of ser-vice,” Wood-Turner said. “This is just one of those op-portunities that we can do a lot of those things at one time.”

‘Ride Along’ breaks record for January movie opening

The new comedy “Ride Along” opened Friday and shattered movie-opening re-cords for the month of Janu-ary. The hysterical cop flick starring Kevin Hart and Ice Cube made $47.8 million, and the holiday on Monday only worked in its favor.

The extra day off for Mar-tin Luther King, Jr. Day added an extra $6.6 million to the movie’s total, and the amount made definitely sur-passed the $25 million bud-get given by Universal.

“Ride Along” deserved its success in the box office. The

movie offered laughs and a heartfelt story line that had you rooting for Hart’s char-acter from the beginning.

“Ride Along” focuses on Kevin Hart’s character, Ben, and his girlfriend, Angela. Ben is an avid video game player who works as a secu-rity guard in a high school. Ben has dreams of becom-ing a police officer, and his dreams are set in motion when he is accepted into the police academy of Atlanta.

Angela has been wait-ing for Ben to pop the ques-tion, but he claims it isn’t the right time. She also ex-plains to Ben that he needs her brother’s blessing in or-der to ask her.

Once accepted into the police academy, Ben knows it is the right time to ask.

Ben approaches Angela’s brother, James, who is a cop, and asks for his blessing.

James does not like Ben and says no. James then has the idea of taking Ben on a 24-hour ride-along to see if he has what it takes to be a cop and to marry his sister.

The remainder of the movie is hysterical and fol-lows James and Ben as Ben tries to prove himself as both a cop and a man. James sets up “126” calls, which are annoying or fake set-ups for Ben to deal with while James continues to try and take down a criminal in the area. James, along with two partners, has been trying to track down an arms dealer who has yet to show his face in Atlanta.

Hart’s character faces bik-

ers, a little kid in a park and a crazy guy in a market be-fore he realizes James is try-ing to make him not want to be a cop anymore.

The plot twists when Ben ends up finding clues to James’s case and almost spoils James’s operation with Omar, the arms dealer. The audience roots for Ben as he spends the remainder of the movie proving himself to James and showing he is worthy of being a cop.

“Ride Along” paired two great comedians for non-stop laughter and great story line. It’s no surprise the movie did so well in the box office, and it will continue to top the charts in the days to come.

During the dark and harsh winter months, people turn to their TV to distract them from the cold. Years ago, peo-ple were forced to rely on net-work television’s show limita-tions and strict time slots for entertainment.

Today, thanks to Inter-net streaming services like Netflix, people can watch what they want at their own convenience.

Here is a list of what WVU students are watching on Netflix.

——Breaking Bad This Golden Globe-winner

tops the list with the major-ity of votes. AMC’s hit drama about a high school chemistry teacher-turned-drug lord may have officially ended, but the show still draws a ton of view-ers on Netflix. People who have already seen the series will enjoy rewatching it for its smart plot and excellent act-ing. Individuals who haven’t started or finished the series will enjoy catching up on this pop culture titan.

The Walking Dead This series comes in sec-

ond for what people want to watch this winter. Set during the zombie apocalypse and

based off the comic series by the same name, this drama follows a group of survivors who must work together to make a new life for them-selves now that the dead walk the earth. With new seasons still airing on AMC, this win-ter is the perfect time to catch up with this awesome drama.

Archer This series is an animated

comedy about “the world’s deadliest secret agent,” Ster-ling Archer. The humor on this show is unlike any other and new episodes still air on FX. The seasons that Netflix offers are an excellent way to get in-troduced to the series.

American Horror Story This series derives its en-

tertainment value from an entirely different set of emo-tions. This dark and disturb-ing series has a one-of-a-kind set-up in which each season is its own, isolated story. The show combines the darkest aspects of humanity with the supernatural to create spine-tingling horror with each episode.

Orange is the New Black This Netflix original series

is created by the mind behind Weeds. This dark comedy fol-lows the story of a woman named Piper who is sentenced to prison for drug smuggling. The show has been rapidly gaining popularity for its witty writing.

Weeds Originally airing on Show-

time years ago, the whole se-ries is now available for instant streaming. Weeds is a dark comedy about selling drugs in the suburbs. Pretty housewife Nancy Botwin begins selling marijuana to her neighbors in the rich, gated community of Agrestic, Calif., in order to make ends meet after the un-timely death of her husband. The show is hilarious and very captivating, making it a great choice for those looking for something both interesting and fun to watch.

Dr. Who This series follows a Time

Lord known only as “The Doc-tor” who uses his powers to save the world and fight evil for the sake of humanity.

Blue Mountain StateThis comedy is about the

football team of the fictional Blue Mountain State Univer-sity. The show only lasted for three seasons but is widely considered the pinnacle of college television. Its sopho-moric humor is rather enter-taining, and this short series is a must-see for students.

Honorable mentions in-clude “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Pretty Little Li-ars,” “House of Cards,” “New Girl,” “Scandal” and “One Tree Hill.”

Lindsay Lohan at Sundance to announce new film

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — With a film crew capturing every moment, Lindsay Lohan made a high-pro-file debut at the Sundance Film Festival, announc-ing a new film and a “fresh start.”

The 27-year-old, who is attempting a comeback af-ter well-documented bat-tles with drugs and legal troubles, came to the in-dependent cinema show-case Monday to say she will produce and star in a film called “Inconceivable,” set to start shooting in March.

A crew from OWN, which is airing a reality series about Lohan, filmed the actress’s news conference. Reporters were told that if they asked personal ques-tions, they would be es-corted out.

Most performers and producers at Sundance have films showing at the festival and don’t come just to announce a planned production – those are usu-ally announced through news releases. But pro-ducer and financier Ran-dall Emmett, who sat be-side Lohan, said Sundance is “just a special place for us to announce this film.” He called Lohan “one of the greatest young actresses of her generation.”

Lohan, who emerged from her latest rehab stint last year and remains on probation for a necklace theft and for lying to po-lice about a car crash, said she is grateful to be at Sun-dance and back in the movie business.

“I’ve never had the honor of coming here before ... to bring something to the ta-ble, which is starting fresh for me,” said Lohan, smil-ing broadly. “And I’m film-ing my Oprah docu-series right now, so I get to that to the people who have been watching that as well.

“It’s a nice change to be back among people that are in the industry that I’ve been in since I was a kid.”

She described the film as a psychological thriller about a woman trying to re-claim something she lost, adding that she “related to the character in a lot of ways.”

Emmett said Lohan found the script and in-sisted they make it together.

“She read the script, she called, she said, `We’re making this movie, are you in or out?’” he recalled. “I said, `I’m in.’”

Lohan will also help se-lect the director and cast the film, he said, adding that he expects a director to

be announced next week.Emmett said moviego-

ers “are going to really be shocked when they see Lindsay take this role on.” Lionsgate will release the film, he said.

Though Lohan served as an executive producer on her universally panned 2013 film “The Canyons,” her producing role is even larger this time around.

“It’s therapeutic for me to throw myself into some-thing that really excites me and something that I love to do so much,” she said. “There’s nothing bet-ter than having seen all of your ideas and thoughts that you’ve been thinking about to come to fruition and to share that with peo-ple. I think that’s why I’ve always loved making mov-ies so much. So it’s nice to be able to have another position in the film rather than just showing up and being on the set.”

No director or co-stars have been announced, but Lohan already has plenty of ideas.

“I even approached Ju-liette Lewis and was email-ing some other people,” she said.

And she has a dream co-star: “I don’t know if she would do it, but I would die if she did: Jessica Lange.”

The 2014 Winter Olympics are just weeks away and many concerns remain about Russia’s anti-gay policies.

The 2014 winter Olym-pics are set to begin Feb. 7, and there is plenty to be concerned about. The one topic that is as impor-tant as it is controversial – not only to the Olympics, but to the entire world – is once again gay athletes.

Russian President Vlad-imir Putin said homosex-ual tourists have noth-ing to fear when they’re in Russia as long as they leave the Russian chil-dren alone. According to The Washington Post, Pu-tin said, “(Visitors) can feel calm and at ease. Just leave kids alone, please.”

These allegations have become important, be-cause last year Russia passed a law prohibiting, “propaganda of nontra-ditional sexual practices” among minors. Russia has banned gay rights pa-rades, and the govern-ment censors any media involving gay issues with the fear that minors will be exposed. In today’s world with society’s tolerance of gay marriage and relation-ships, Russia shouldn’t be able to make a law like this.

“The games will be held

in complete compliance with the Olympic Char-ter, without any discrimi-nation on the basis of any characteristic,” Putin said during a meeting with Olympic volunteers.

The Olympic Charter responded with a state-ment that said, “Any form of discrimination with re-gard to a country or a per-son on grounds of race, re-ligion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompati-ble with belonging to the Olympic Movement.”

The fact that this is even an issue is a clear example of the problematic mind-set Russia has as a nation. How can a nation confi-dently send its athletes to a country where there are numerous terror threats and a blatant intolerance to gay culture in the year 2014? This sort of discrim-ination might have slipped through the cracks years ago, but times are chang-ing. This law is not only unfair but flat-out wrong.

What are gay fans go-ing to do about attending the Olympics? And why should the gay athletes feel any less respected and welcomed than their straight teammates?

Putin insists homosexu-ality is not banned in Rus-sia just the propaganda of it.

“We have no ban on the

nontraditional forms of sexual intercourse among people,” he said. “We have the ban on the pro-paganda of homosexual-ity and pedophilia.

“I want to stress this: propaganda among mi-nors. These are two ab-solutely different things: a ban on certain relations or (a ban on) the propa-ganda of such relations.”

Another problem in So-chi will be the security for the games. They have in-creased security leading up to the start date on Feb. 7, but there was a bomb-ing just a couple weeks ago in Volgograd, Russia.

Every time the Olympics come around, whether it is the winter or summer games, terrorist attacks are rumored.

Russia’s job as host of the Olympics is to pro-tect the athletes and all the people who attend. With that said, it is alarm-ing that just weeks before opening ceremonies, Rus-sia was unable to prevent the bombing.

Hopefully, Russia has its priorities straight and will treat the Olympics with the seriousness they deserve. Putin certainly has a chance to gain some respect throughout the world.

It’s judgement. Judgement, whether

based on someone’s ap-pearance or how they act, has been ever-present in most of our thoughts for as long as we can remember.

There was always the loser in school, always the nerd, the jock and the cheerleader. These all came with certain stereo-types, whether they were accurate or not. And be-cause it was high school, those people often played into their parts, because they didn’t know what else to do.

College is seen as a place where you can rein-vent yourself, be whoever you want to be and make new friends. This is gener-ally true, but some of that cruelty remains.

And it ’s t ime it ’s stopped.

You look at the “bros” and “sluts” walking down High Street on a Thursday night, and you assume that’s who they are. Some-times it is, sometimes it isn’t. But that’s not all of who they are.

You might see a girl in a tiny dress stumbling down the street, but you won’t see she has a perfect 4.0 and volunteers at a local homeless shelter.

You might see a guy hit-ting on a girl at a bar, sleazy as can be. But you won’t see how he drives his best friend home because he’s gotten too drunk to get be-hind the wheel.

There’s always more to people than meets the eye, and it’s more impor-tant then ever we all start to realize this.

We also need to realize we are in college, and we are allowed to be whom-ever we choose to be. You don’t have to go to a party just because everyone in your circle of friends does. You don’t have to change the channel to National Geographic when you’d

rather watch Maury. Appreciating a variety of

different things should be celebrated.

It shouldn’t be an issue of tolerance. It should be an issue of unquestioning acceptance. We don’t need to pressure each other to fit the roles we’re expected to play.

And we don’t need to play those roles ourselves. The sooner we all stop judging each other and start really learning about each other, the sooner we can all make true change occur.

Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted social reform. He wanted people to stop see-ing one another for what they were on the outside and start seeing each other for who they truly were, without fear of persecu-tion or ridicule.

In 51 years, we have made progress, but it can-not stop here. As much as we try to deny it, we still try to make people fit the predetermined categories we have.

And what better time to do that than when you’re surrounded by such a di-verse group of people with so many different things to offer?

We offer up this dare: next time you want to roll your eyes at the teacher’s pet, don’t. Next time you feel the urge to yell ob-scenities at the women at the bar, don’t. And next time you start to do some-thing – not because you want to, but because you feel you need to – don’t.

It never hurts to rebel against given ideals and upset the system a little.

Bringing Home the Bacon

Women across the nation have reason to rejoice, and it’s a celebration that has been a long time coming.

According to recent data collected by the United States Census Bureau, 40 percent of all households with children under the age of 18 reported having a fe-male as the primary bread-winner for the family, a sta-tistic that stood at a mere 11 percent in the ’60s.

Today, women make up approximately 47 percent of the U.S. workforce, leaving the June Cleaver prototype at a high risk for extinction. The “glass ceiling” that pre-vented women from climb-ing the corporate ladder is beginning to crack, and for many, that is the finest testa-

ment to “girl power” our na-tion has seen to date.

There is no doubt a moth-er’s love for her children could never be compro-mised, regardless of marital, employment or economic status. But as women across the country replace their aprons with briefcases, what does this mean for the mod-ern-day American family?

As women become more prominent in the workforce, families are no longer ex-pected to adhere to society’s standard of how a home should function. This phe-nomenon can be accredited to a concept known as the “second shift.”

The second shift refers to the duties a mother must tend to after completing a full day of work, and it in-cludes tasks such as cooking dinner, folding laundry and getting the children ready for bed. Working the second

shift is a job that can exhaust even the toughest of moth-ers. This exhaustion can ul-timately compromise the lit-tle quality time mothers are able to spend with their chil-dren and can often lead to feelings of resentment on both ends.

To prevent this from hap-pening, some families have equally divided the second shift between the mother and father. It is now up to each family to determine what is expected of the mother and father, and this has ultimately reshaped the way society understands gender roles.

While it is great that men and women are no longer restricted to gender stereo-types, it can potentially lead to tension within a marriage. Today, no two families func-tion the same way. Based on differing childhood experi-ences, each spouse brings

his or her own expectation of how a home should run and who is responsible for doing what.

Determining gender roles within individual families can be challenging for those who grew up in different en-vironments and can often lead to a power struggle be-tween the two parents. It is normal for every couple to feel frustrated at times, but in a time when the divorce rate is at an all-time high, it is more important than ever for families to adapt as the times continue to change.

Communication is es-sential for successful par-enting, and always remem-ber that respect is key. The way parents treat each other plays a huge role in how a child, in turn, treats his or her parents and even future partners.

BORN TODAY This year opportuni-ties stem from your ability to know what you want from a situation. Shar-ing some of your wilder schemes will be better received than you might think. Others find your imagination fun and invigorating. If you are single, you could meet someone very gen-tle and kind. You might want to pinch yourself, as this person will seem to be unbelievable. If you are attached, the two of you thrive off the unexpected. LIBRA admires your imagination, and entices your romantic side.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH You will feel great, and a partner might appear to be in the same mood -- at least until a hot issue is broached. Then, you could find out other-

wise. Your ability to draw out others emerges. You know the right move to make. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Your efforts make a difference, yet an associate could have a negative at-titude. Fortunately, this person does not rule the world. A friend might share his or her thoughts. Listen care-fully, as he or she will be coming from an intuitive level. Tonight: Get some exercise.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You will find a situation provocative. You might feel as if a boss is mak-ing assumptions that may not be grounded. Know that you don’t have to respond to this person’s projec-tions. Be willing to blaze a new trail, and you’ll feel better about your choices. Tonight: Up late.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Opt to be with a close friend or as-sociate. Get to the bottom of a prob-lem that might be bothering you. You will know whether the informa-tion you are given is correct. How you feel could change dramatically. To-night: Go along with someone else’s suggestion.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You’ll want to have a friendly chat with a dif-ficult roommate, close friend or loved one. You could find that this person tends to disengage when you start to talk. As a result, you might won-der whether this discussion should be postponed. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You will jump into a situation without hes-itation. Sometimes it is best to allow

others to find out what works; they need to go through a similar process to what you did. A partner could be very distracted, which will make it dif-ficult to communicate. Tonight: Relax.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You are energized. A child or loved one adores you wild, creative imagina-tion. This person would be delighted to see this facet of your personality emerge. Keep it light. Be aware of the costs of pursuing what appears to be a fun plan. Tonight: Act as if there were no tomorrow.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHHH You could feel tense, as others seem to demand that rules be loosened up some. You might feel somewhat vulnerable and choose to withdraw within. You can’t control others, nor should you try. A psychic thought will

come your way. Tonight: Early to bed.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH You will be focused on a key matter re-volving around a friend or a significant meeting. How you handle it and the end results could color your thinking about the whole situation. Emphasize what you want, and speak your mind. Tonight: Where the gang is.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might want to get to know someone in power better. You both have very different approaches that are effective. A family matter or a domestic issue could trigger unex-pected happenings. Go with the flow. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You might feel more in har-mony with someone at distance

than you do with many other peo-ple. You can’t deny what exists be-tween you. You are intuitive with this person, as is he or she with you. An unexpected call makes you smile. Tonight: Catch up on a friend’s news.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You succeed best when you work closely with someone else. You know what is workable and what needs to happen. Though you tend to come up with ideas from out of left field, this person sees value in them. Tonight: Visit with a favorite person over din-ner.

‘Memphis’ brings harmony to CAC

Mick POSEY/THE DAiLY ATHENAEUMThe cast of ‘Memphis’ performs the award-winning musical score ‘Underground.’

The national tour of “Mem-phis,” the hit Broadway musi-cal, pulled into Morgantown Sunday night. The cast gave a stellar performance as they took the stage at the West Vir-ginia University Creative Arts Center.

The story, loosely based on real life disc-jockey Dewey Phillips, follows Huey Cal-houn (played by Joey Elrose) during his rise and fall from fame.

After stumbling into Del-ray’s, an African Ameri-can night club on the wrong side of town, he meets Feli-cia (played by Jasmin Rich-ardson). He falls in love with the songbird at first sight and makes it his mission to get her voice on the radio.

However, this show was set in the 1950s: Therefore, due to their race, their love was not accepted.

When Felicia has the chance leave Memphis and go to New York to begin her singing career on a national level, a rift is formed between

Huey and Felicia.The show is almost like a

collection of snapshots of the 50s, and the audience is priv-ileged to see how attitudes to-ward equality have changed.

“Memphis” is a feel-good musical that reminds us we are all human, and our indi-vidual differences should be valued, not hidden. There are some low points, though, as we are shockingly reminded of the ugliness of hatred.

During one scene, a young girl was listening to a “race record” and was brutally slapped by her father. The en-tire audience gasped.

Overall, the ensemble was a powerhouse of talent. They all worked so well together, and their voices compli-mented each other perfectly. The close-knit harmonies poured over the audience of the Lyell B. Clay Theatre.

“The singing was phenom-enal,” said Brandon Woodard, a psychology student at West Virginia University. “I would definitely not mind seeing it again.”

Richardson is a wonder to behold. Her voice rocked the house, scaling from highs to lows and commanding

attention.“The harmony gave me

chills,” said Angela Donahoe, an audience member. “And I loved Jasmin Richardson’s belting voice.”

Avionce Hoyles, who played Gator, had the single best voice of the cast. For the

first half of the show, his char-acter stays silent. Apparently, Gator saw his father beaten because of the color of his skin, and this scarred him emotionally.

During “Say a Prayer,” the Act 1 finale, he finally speaks up. I can honestly say he took

my breath away during this phenomenal number. It was all I could do to hide my tears.

Pat Sibley, playing Huey’s Mama, gave a surprisingly great performance. Dur-ing the show, her character transitions from being close-minded about racial inequal-

ity to learning that “Change Don’t Come Easy.”

“Memphis” won the 2010 Tony Award for Best Musical, and rightfully so. Should this musical tour near your area in the near future, do not miss it.


Justin Bieber faces legal trouble over egging incident

Attention teenage girls ev-erywhere: there’s a chance Justin Bieber could be deported.

Bieber has been get-ting into quite a bit of trou-ble lately, but it all came to a head on the evening of Jan. 9 as Bieber decided to egg his neighbor’s house. At one point, Bieber started aiming for the neighbor when he stepped out on the balcony.

The young celebrity and his neighbor have had some previous disputes, but this was the final straw. The Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department was called, and they were not happy.

In response to the in-cident, Nick Jonas took to Twitter to shade Bieber’s actions.

“Wait.. egging is still a thing?” Jonas tweeted on Jan. 10.

A felony search warrant was filed, and authorities re-cently raided Bieber’s Cala-basas, Calif., mansion Jan. 14 to connect him to the egg-throwing incident. If convicted, Bieber could be charged with felony van-dalism for his actions taken against his neighbor.

According to the 1996 Il-legal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibil-ity Act, if Bieber is convicted of this crime, he could ulti-mately be deported for his actions.

As it stands right now, Bieber is living in the U.S. on a visa for possessing “extraor-dinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics.” His “extraordi-nary ability” might come to a crashing halt if deported.

Let’s be honest, the egg-ing incident isn’t that big of a deal, right? My bet is the au-thorities are just using this “crime” as a chance to get into the singer’s home and try and charge him for other illegal activity.

Bieber is only 19 years old, and all 19-year-olds make mistakes. Unfortunately, not all of them are in the public’s eye 24/7.

Living with the star was rapper was Xavier Smith, known to the public as Lil Za. If you have no idea who Lil Za is, no worries, most peo-ple don’t. His only claim to fame is a rap song he posted on YouTube in 2012 called “Gangster S---.”

Bieber’s manager, Scooter Braun, reportedly told Bieber to kick Lil Za out before the police came. Having been living with Bieber for some time, Braun has tried setting Lil Za up with his own apart-ment separate from Bieber to no avail.

During the raid, Lil Za was arrested for cocaine posses-sion. The illegal drugs were “in plain sight” but were in

no way connected to Bieber.So, maybe the authori-

ties will drop the charges for his vandalism. But does this mean Bieber is in the clear? Absolutely not.

Bieber is obviously walk-ing a very thin line into the path of fallen stardom like so many other celebrities. One more slip-up like this and we could be looking at a Bieber-less America. But maybe that wouldn’t be so bad.

None of Bieber’s four re-cent singles have made it into the Top 10 on Billboard. In fact, his last single to make it to the Top 10 was “Beauty and A Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj in fall of 2012.

Also, Bieber’s movie “Be-lieve” is failing at the box office and is projected to only gross a maximum $10 million, while his first film grossed over $75 million.

Perhaps the world is just growing tired of the Beebs. One thing is for sure: if Bieber continues his behav-ior, he will lose fans. Bottom line.


Beats Music to take over marketBy Josh ewers

a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

In today’s music scene, an increasing number of people come to the conclusion that not only the physical for-mat, but also the download-ing methods of music con-sumption are dying out, at least in the eyes of the main-stream swathes.

Music streaming services like Spotify and Pandora have their place and offer a one-of-a-kind experience. These services can be seen as a compromise between re-cord labels and the Internet community at large and have been successful so far. To this point, Spotify has been lead-ing the charge, but now a new and powerful player is entering the fray.

Dr. Dre has already proven himself a marketing genius by creating a culturally iconic product with his Beats head-phones, which have been criticized for not only lack-ing in quality in comparison to the price, but which are also only considered a good choice for those who only lis-ten to bass heavy genres of music like dance and rap.

Now, Beats is taking its marketing savvy and mov-ing into the world of stream-ing with Beats Music.

Led by a team of musi-cal masterminds including Dre, engineer and producer extrordinaire Jimmy Iovine, and Nine Inch Nails’ creative force Trent Reznor, many are expecting this new service to take a chunk out of Spotify’s market share of around 9 million paying subscribers, if not overtake it completely.

The service will arrive today.

The main thing Beats ex-ecutives say sets the ser-vice apart from its competi-tors is the human element. While the service still uti-lizes computer algorithms to recommend the con-sumer new music based off of things they already like, Beats promises to place a larger emphasis on human recommendations to point their customers in the right direction.

Music writers from com-panies like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork are already said to be involved. Beats Mu-sic hopes this will eliminate those frustrating extraneous artists that get thrown in with your oh-so-specific “Neo Si-berian Folk Rap” collection.

Another interesting fea-ture centers on social media. Users will be able to gener-ate a four-song playlist based on a musical status update of sorts that asks them how

they feel and where they are.As for pricing, it will be

$10 a month – the same price as Spotify’s premium service. This is probably a sound marketing strategy, because it will largely offer a very similar music selec-tion to Spotify. Dre’s service will rely on his brand’s im-age and new features rather than undercutting pricing. Also, there will be no free level of access. This decision was likely made to increase royalty rates for artists.

AT&T will also offer a $15 family plan that comes with up to five accounts.

Undoubtedly, it will be ag-gressively marketed. There has already been $60 mil-lion invested in the service, so it can’t afford to fail. The integration deal in place with AT&T will put it in front of a lot of new faces. Spots are also already planned for the Super Bowl and for features on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and in Target Stores.

As a company with a hip reputation to uphold, the in-terface will be sleek, featur-ing swipe menus and built-in feeds of constant musical recommendations.

For now, it will only be available in the United States at launch.


Bruce Springsteen releases new album

Few rock ’n’ roll legends come off with as much sincer-ity and energy as the one and only Bruce Springsteen.

“The Boss” is a well earned nickname after decades of popular singles, great albums and absolutely electric per-formances at sold-out shows across the country. Through-out the course of his career, he’s garnered 20 Grammys and has earned a spot in both the Rock & Roll and Song-writers Halls of Fame with his music that connects so deeply with the common American man.

Even with such an illustri-ous resume, in 2014 Spring-steen is keeping busy by re-leasing an album full of covers, b-sides and brand new songs, “High Hopes,” featuring for-mer Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello.

Despite the uplifting title, this album lingers on the edge of darkness for as much of its duration as light. The project is a valiant and admirable at-tempt by Springsteen to cap-ture the spirit of the times.

First off, there are three cov-ers on “High Hopes.”

The title track “High Hopes” was released as a single in No-vember 2013. Originally writ-ten by songwriter Tim Scott McConnell, it’s an organic, sauntering song that drives steadily along and is led by thumping drums.

The melody is strong. Blar-ing horns, lightly strummed acoustic guitar and a bit of piano riffing together with Springsteen’s repeated howl of the words and guest guitarist Morrello’s signature lead give the song an urban vibe.

The second cover on the release, “Just Like Fire Would” by ’80s alternative rockers The Saints, is surrounded by tracks with more heavily themed ma-terial. It takes the album back to its upbeat beginnings. This song has been re-envisioned enough to make it an interest-ing, if not obscure, cover. Still, younger fans find it appeal-ing, because the instrumen-tals give it the feel of a ’90s al-ternative hit.

Rounding out the covers is “Dream Baby Dream,” origi-nally written and performed by punk band Suicide. The be-ginning is hauntingly beautiful in its use of the harmonium.

On the re-recording front, Springsteen digs into his bag of material and pulls out a song he played live as a tribute to Trayvon Martin. This is a rare studio version of the seven-minute “American Skin (41 Shots).”

Another re-recording on the album is a new take on “The Ghost of Tom Joad.”

On to the originals: this re-lease might as well be an al-bum with eight new songs. Most of the recordings are wel-coming in their familiar anthe-mic Springsteen style, such as “Frankie Fell in Love.” Others, like “Down in the Hole,” ven-ture into foreign territory with varying degrees of success.

On “Harry’s Place,” things go from high hopes to just

plain getting high. This is a song about a drug dealer and how he is not to be tri-fled with. With its constant pulsing bass line and calmly crooned vocals, it’s a very successful throwback to the ’80s pop sound that is a lit-tle reminiscent of the Da-vid Gilmour-led era of Pink Floyd in the smoothness of the overall sound. The song is one of “High Hopes’” most memorable.

Perhaps the closest thing to old-school Springsteen on this record is “This is Your Sword.” While capturing the old “Boss” through vocal pat-terns and voice subtleties, it shows how diverse the album is due to the fact it contains folk instrumentation.

“Hunter of Invisible Game” is another standout. Its sub-dued atmosphere backed by long notes played on stringed instruments can’t help but put the listener at ease. Mellow drums lay down a slow tempo that aids in the relaxing nature of the song.

Overall, there is definitely enough new material to get long-time fans of the band excited and to make collec-tors swoon. It won’t return Springsteen to mainstream relevance, but as a decorated veteran of rock ‘n’ roll from a more vibrant musical time, he probably doesn’t mind too much.

“High Hopes” will likely go down in popular music cul-ture as a fairly irrelevant late career album, but the lyrical themes couldn’t be more rel-evant to the age we live in.

Staten’s play deserving of

spotlightWith a 10-8 overall record

and a 2-3 record in the Big 12 conference, West Virginia bas-ketball has been all over the board this season.

After winning their first two conference games on the road against TCU and Texas Tech, the Mountaineers have now dropped their last three games at home against then-No. 11 Oklahoma State and Texas and on the road against Kansas State.

Despite the inconsis-tency the team as a whole has shown this year, one player has been playing at a high level on a nightly basis.

That player is junior guard Juwan Staten.

To this point in the season, Staten is No. 4 in the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 17.1 points per game.

Teammate Eron Harris has benefited immensely from Staten’s prowess running the West Virginia offense this sea-son. Harris is one spot ahead of his teammate at No. 3 in the Big 12 in scoring, averag-ing 17.6 points per game.

Through 18 games in the 2012-13 season, West Virgin-ia’s record stood at 9-9. Just looking at overall record, you could come to the conclu-sion that this year’s Moun-taineer team isn’t much bet-ter than the one that struggled through a disappointing 2012-13 season.

However, a team should be judged by more than its overall record. Staten, who appeared to be lost on the court at times in 2012-13, has taken a huge step forward this season.

Whether it just took him some time to fully adjust to Bob Huggins’ coaching style, or if something has just clicked for him in the offsea-son, Staten has evolved into the type of player that can take control of a game – like he did when he scored the fi-nal nine points in WVU’s road win over TCU – and simulta-neously raise the level of play of all of his teammates.

The headlines in the Big 12 are often grabbed by Okla-homa State’s Marcus Smart or Kansas’ freshman phenom-enon Andrew Wiggins, and rightfully so.

Smart and Wiggins are ex-tremely talented players on extremely talented teams. However, Staten is just as tal-ented as the two most highly publicized players in the conference.

The only difference be-tween Staten and Wiggins and Smart is the overall success of their teams.

Smart and Wiggins play on two of the most talented teams in the nation. The sta-tistics they put up are eye-popping, but the only reason they get the attention they do is because their teams are able to stay in the national spotlight.

Not long ago, West Virginia was viewed as the type of team that would always be in position to contend for a con-ference championship and to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

While those days may seem like ancient history now, play-ers like Juwan Staten can help restore West Virginia as a na-tional powerhouse.

On a team that doesn’t have a single senior on its ros-ter, Staten has taken the reigns of West Virginia’s offense and is in the process of bringing it back to the national spotlight.

The true measure of a player can be found by look-ing at how he performs against the teams that know him best. Conference play provides a completely differ-ent level of competition and has been known to make and break players.

Staten’s level of play has only increased since West Vir-ginia began its Big 12 sched-ule. The versatile guard is shooting 61 percent from the field in conference games and averaging 19.8 points per game.

While West Virginia isn’t likely to be playing in the post-season this year, if Staten con-tinues to progress at this rate, the Mountaineers could be set up for a return to national rel-evance next season.

Kansas State too much for West Virginia, Mountaineers fall 78-56 to Wildcats on road

No. 18 West Virginia handles Oklahoma

BY KEVIN HOOKERSPORTS WRITER

@DAILyATHEnAEum

Led by senior guard Christal Caldwell, the West Virginia women’s basket-ball team knocked off the Oklahoma Sooners 77-63 Saturday night.

The win improved WVU’s record to 16-2 over-all and 5-1 in Big 12 Con-ference play, and the win earned the Mountaineers their first appearance in the Associated Press Poll this season.

The Mountaineers are No. 18 in the country this week for their strong play,

which includes two wins over ranked opponents. The last time WVU was in the AP Top-25 poll was Dec. 17, 2012, when the team had four straight wins and were No. 24 nationally.

Oklahoma (11-7, 2-3 in Big 12 Conference play) cut a double digit deficit down to a tie game, but the Mountaineers responded with a 10-2 run.

WVU never let up, go-ing on a 9-3 run over the final two minutes, while the Sooners missed eight of nine final field goal at-tempts and turned the ball over twice in the last four minutes of the game.

Ca l d w e l l m a t c h e d her career-best, scoring 23 points (5-for-5 from 3-point range) and grab-bing six rebounds.

“Give our girls a lot of credit,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey.

“We came off a big win, came home, and Okla-homa has a great team. They run a lot of stuff and a lot of stuff well. Overall, I’m very pleased. Our girls fought hard.”

Sophomore guard Bria Holmes was one point shy of a career-best with 21 points, marking her third 20-point outing in her ca-reer. Junior guard Linda

Stepney scored 17 points and dished out a career-best five assists.

“Linda has done a great job of making things hap-pen and getting in the gaps and scoring,” Carey said. “We shot the ball well, es-pecially in the first half. We just have to keep it up.”

The Sooners’ 63 points was 17 shy of the team av-erage 80 points per game.

WVU opened the game shooting 61.9 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from 3-point range, while limiting the OU offense to just 37 shooting and 18 percent from long range.

Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s

closed the game shoot-ing 49 percent from the field and 61 percent from beyond the arc. West Vir-ginia also shot 18-for-20 from the free throw line, with 10-of-10 coming from Stepney.

“They’re a very good team and well-coached,” Carey said. “We were fortunate.”

The Mountaineers re-turn to the court for a two-game road trip, starting at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Texas Tech and closing out the week with a 4 p.m. matchup at Texas Saturday.

CORY DOBSON/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMSenior guard Christal Caldwell plays defense against Baylor Jan. 8.

BY dOUg WAlpSPORTS WRITER @DOugWALP

The West Virginia men’s basketball team is officially in a bit of a rut.

The Mountaineers fell 78-56 to Kansas State Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum, marking not only the third straight loss for WVU but the highest mar-gin of a defeat in any game this season.

“They made all the right plays,” said sophomore guard Eron Harris. “We couldn’t find anything to work. We couldn’t stop what they were doing on offense. Even if they missed, they got the rebound and scored.”

Coming into the game, Kansas State (14-4, 4-1) had earned the reputation as the Big 12’s best defensive team, allowing fewer than 61 points per contest. But it was K-State’s offense that really shined Sat-urday against West Virginia (10-8, 2-3), as the Wildcats

shot a sultry 54.9 percent from the field in their second-high-est collective offensive output of the entire season.

“Everyone wants to talk about their defense,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Hug-gins. “Their defense is good, don’t get me wrong, but of-fensively they make you work. They pass it and cut and end up with a pretty good shot. Their offense is good. They have good patience.”

Junior forward Thomas Gipson led the way for the Wildcats with a team-high 20 points on 9-for-11 shooting from the floor to go along with six rebounds, three assists and a block.

“He had his way,” Huggins said of Gipson. “(He) scored the ball (and) got in on the rim. We had a couple fresh-men on him, and he just big-boyed them.”

Senior guard Shane South-well and freshman guard Marcus Foster rounded out Kansas State’s double-figure

scorers with 20 and 15 points, respectively.

Harris put in 21 points for the Mountaineers, while ju-nior guard Juwan Staten notched the second double-double of his career at West Virginia in the losing effort. Staten’s double-double came via 16 points and 11 rebounds, but the junior also recorded a career-high seven turnovers.

“I feel like this one got away from us quick,” Staten said. “They came out and hit us first. We just had a hard time coming back from it.”

The Wildcats offense in-deed outscored WVU 37-24 in the first half, setting the stage for a difficult comeback on the road for the Mountaineers.

“We moved the basketball and kind of made a run that broke their spirits before half-time,” said Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber. “Then we had a good start to the second half, which kind of pinned them down, and at the end we just went with it.”

West Virginia’s perimeter-based offense had a difficult time from long range for the second consecutive game, with the Mountaineers just 4-of-15 from beyond the arc. WVU was 4-25 from 3-point range in its last game at home against Texas. The Mountain-eers only assisted five of their 16 total field goals, compared to 22 assists on 28 team buck-ets for the Wildcats.

“In basketball, you are go-ing to go through times where you are shooting the ball well and times where you are not shooting the ball well,” Staten said.

But in addition to WVU’s recent shooting struggles, it appears that some major de-fensive flaws for the Moun-taineers have also been ex-posed during the last few conference appearances.

“Actually, in practice we guard the ball pretty well,” Staten said. “Maybe that’s be-cause coaches are allowed to stop practice and put you on

a treadmill if you’re not what you’re supposed to be, and you can’t do that in the game. We just need to have the men-tal toughness to go out there and do everything in the game that we do in practice.”

West Virginia’s three-game losing streak officially marks its longest of the season, with arguably the more difficult portion of its league schedule still to come.

“I think we’ll be alright,” There just comes a point when everyone really needs to dig deep and show what they’re made of,” Staten said. You can’t come out here every game and just play to play, you have to come out here to play to win, and you need to pre-pare to win.

I think it will eventually start happening. When? I don’t know. But if we’re do-ing it every day in practice, it has to translate to the game sometime.”

WVU suffers close loss to No. 24 Marylandby dilloN dUrst

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia Uni-versity gymnastics team suffered a close loss Friday with a score of 193.675-193.5 at the Comcast Cen-ter in College Park, Md.

Heading into the fourth rotation, WVU clung to a 146.075-144.75 lead over the No. 24 Terrapins.

However, three falls on beam by the Mountain-eers (1-3) allowed Mary-land to secure a win at home against its former EAGL rival.

“I saw improvements on bar and floor tonight, which was good, and I thought we were able to improve on vault, too, which made me happy,” said head coach Jason Butts. “Last week we were so aggressive on beam, but we didn’t push that inten-sity this week. That lack of intensity produced falls and cost us this meet.

“We had the lead, but we couldn’t complete our job.”

For the second week in a row, freshman Alexa Goldberg turned in an out-standing performance on

the bars routine, winning the event with a score of 9.875.

The Mountaineers claimed the top two spots in the all-around, with se-nior Hope Sloanhoffer winning the routine with a score of 38.7, and fresh-man Nicolette Swoboda finishing in second with a score of 38.65.

Sloanhoffer ’s night didn’t end there, as the se-nior tallied a season-best 9.875 on the vault event.

Swoboda added a third-place finish, with a score of 9.825, and sophomore Jaida Lawrence took fifth.

After struggling on the floor event last weekend, the Mountaineers turned in a season-best score of 48.4

Sloanhoffer anchored the Mountaineers’ routine, turning in a season-high score of 9.8 and finish-ing third. Sophomore Me-lissa Idell opened the rou-tine with a score of 9.7, and Goldberg finished fourth with a score of 9.775.

Junior Lia Salzano con-tinued her exceptional performance on beam from a week ago, finish-ing second with a score of 9.675. Swoboda tied for

third with a score of 9.65, and senior Erica Smith fin-ished fifth.

West Virginia and Maryland will meet again March 16 at the Comcast Center.

The Mountaineers will host NC State Sunday at 3 p.m. at the WVU Coli-seum. The event is free for all WVU students with a valid student ID. Sunday is also “Dollar Day,” dur-ing which all tickets, pop-corn, hotdogs and Coca-Colas will be available for $1 each.

women’s track

by joN fehreNssports writer

@dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia track and field team recorded 11 first-place finishes and made several imprints on the re-cord book Saturday at the WVU Invitational in the WVU Shell Building.

“We took a small step for-ward today,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “Having a few more of our experienced women on the track today gives us a little better idea of

where we currently stand. In no way are we where we need to be, but we did see im-provements in a few areas.”

No one has been more consistent than senior pole vaulter Katlyn Shelar this season. Coming off a record performance at State College for the PSU relays, Shelar re-corded her second first-place finish with a mark of 3.90 me-ters, – the second-best mark in WVU indoor program history.

Senior Stormy Nesbit also found her way into the record books Saturday. In the triple

jump, Nesbit recorded a leap of 12.42, which gave her first place in the competition and the second-best in indoor program history.

Junior Karissa Knabens-hue also claimed first place in shot put. Knabenshue threw for a mark of 12.99 me-ters. This score is the third-best mark in indoor program history.

“I am excited with the way Karissa (Knabenshue), Stormy (Nesbit) and Katlyn (Shelar) competed today. All three recorded performances that fall in the top-three, all-

time in program history,” Cleary said.

“From what we saw, all three can go much further and high(er) over the next few months.”

The Mountaineers found just as much success on the track as they did on the field. Freshman Amy Cashin placed first in the 1,000-me-ter run with a time of 2:56.15, and senior Sarah Martinelli finished closely behind with a 2:57.88 finish.

“We emerged from the meet healthy and ready to go back to work,” Cleary said.

“Over the next few weeks, we are looking to put our group into situations that should be able to resemble the chal-lenges that we will see at the Big 12 meet.

“I expect our leaders to begin emerging in a manner that allows for our younger kids to feel confident in their abilities.”

Cleary and his team will have a short week to prepare for Friday’s YSU College In-vitational in Youngstown, Ohio.

Mountaineers finish competition at tCUby dilloN dUrst


The West Virginia men’s swimming and diving team bested Big 12 foe TCU Saturday with a score of 167-133 at the University Recreation Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

Despite a great showing, the women’s team came up short by a score of 164-121.

“The ladies did a fine job, and it’s one step closer to Big 12s where we swim our best,” said head coach Vic Riggs.

Once again, the men’s 200-meter medley “A” team of senior Bryce

Bohman and juniors Chris Brill, Julien Vialette and Tim Squires won the event with a time of 1:31.45. The “B” team of senior Jake Querciagrossa, sopho-mores Jake Iotte and Ross Glegg, and freshman Aus-tin Green weren’t far be-hind, finishing third over-all with a score of 1:34.17.

In the men’s 200-meter free, Glegg turned in an outstanding performance, winning the event with a time of 1:41.11. Quer-ciagrossa added a third place finish with a time of 1:42.95, while junior Nathan Cobbe finished fourth.

The Mountaineers per-

formed exceptionally well in both the men’s and women’s 50-meter free event, with Vialette claim-ing a win for the men and sophomore Jaimee Gill-more finishing first for the women.

In the matchup of the afternoon, Bohman was bested by TCU’s Cooper Robinson in the 200-me-ter back by a half second.

The women divers con-tinued their outstand-ing performance from last weekend, with junior Haily VandePoel winning the 1-meter event, while sophomores Lindsay Schmidt and Tori Taffner finished third and fourth,

respectively. VandePoel added an-

other win for the women in the 3-meter diving event with a score of 318.15. Schmidt followed with a second-place score of 295.35, while Taffner fin-ished third with a score of 289.35.

With her score, Taffner qualified for the NCAA Zone Diving Champion-ship that will take place later this season.

“Tori (Taffner) did great on the 3-meter and qual-ified for the NCAA Zone meet,” said diving coach Michael Grapner. “I’m very proud of the divers and looking forward to the Big

12 Championships.”Junior Jenelle Zee added

a win for the Mountaineers in the 100-meter breast, finishing first overall with a time of 1:05.88.

The men’s 400-me-ter medley relay “A” team of sophomore Andrew Marsh, Glegg, Vialette and Squires capped off the day with a winning time of 3:04.75.

Both the men’s and women’s teams have a week off before the men travel to Ohio State Jan. 31, and the women face Ohio in Athens, Ohio, with Iowa State on Feb. 1.

Akron tops WVU in spring season openerby ANthoNy peCorAro


The West Virginia wom-en’s tennis team dropped their spring season opener to the University of Akron, 4-3, Friday afternoon at Ridgeview Racquet Club in Morgantown.

Head coach Miha Li-sac said he knows there is a lot to be improved upon as the season continues but wasn’t upset with his team’s performance.

“It is a starting point for us, and it is impor-

tant that we keep learning from these matches,” Li-sac said. “I thought it was a good match on both ends and that we battled hard. We put ourselves in a po-sition to be successful, but we need to get better at taking advantage of late situations.”

In doubles, the freshmen tandem of Kaja Mrgole and Oana Manole, which tallied up five doubles wins dur-ing the fall season, com-bined for a 6-3 win over the Zips’ Caroline Harpainter and Karolina Maksimava.

The Mountaineers’ top

doubles duo from a year ago, sophomore Hailey Barrett and junior Ikttesh Chahal, fell to the Zips’ Shannon Newnes and Olga Shkundina, 7-6 (6). With the win, Akron clinched the doubles point to go up 1-0 in the match.

Sophomores Irinka Toidze and Vivian Tsui fell to Akron’s Madison Cohen and Martina Zerbola, 6-1.

In singles play, Manole and Mrgole both earned victories, knotting the team score at two. Manole de-feated Maksimava, 6-1, 7-5, to give WVU its first point

of the match. Mrgole fol-lowed after trailing by one set. She battled back to win the second set 6-0 and then the tiebreaker 10-7.

With the score tied at two, Akron regained the lead after Chahal fell 10-8 in a tiebreaker to Zerbola. Zerbola took the first set, 6-4, but Chahal came back to take the second 6-4. With the momentum on Cha-hal’s side going into the tiebreaker, Chahal jumped out to a 6-3 lead, but Zer-bola went on a 7-4 run to end the match.

Tsui tallied up her first

victory of the season, de-feating Shannon Newnes, 6-3, 6-3. Tsui’s victory tied the team score at 3-3, with only sophomore Irinka Toidze left on the court.

Toidze dropped the first set, 7-5, to Ksenia Ber-estetska of Akron. She then won set two, 7-6, before falling in the tiebreaker, 7-1.

WVU will be back in ac-tion Saturday against Lib-erty in Charleston, W.Va., and the match is set to be-gin at 3 p.m.

No. 5 oklahoma state dominates WVU saturdayby NAyef AlAbdUljAbbAr


No. 5 Oklahoma State (4-3, 1-1 Big 12) defeated the West Virginia (9-3, 0-2 Big 12) wrestling team 30-6 in Morgantown Saturday.

“We battled at every weight class,” said coach Craig Turnbull. “We can build on this and go out with a better effort next time.

“We went out with the mindset that we wanted to win and get points, but that was a very good team we faced out there.”

In the 125-lb bout, fresh-man Cory Stainbrook had a late takedown against him courtesy of Eddie Kilmara but scored an escape for a 2-1 lead. Kilmara then took Stainbrook down and had a reversal for a decisive 7-2 win.

Senior Nathan Pennesi (133 lbs.), scored an escape after Jon Morrison took him down in the first minute of

their match. Pennesi gave up five more takedowns and fell to Morrison with a score of 14-4.

Senior Colin Johnston (141 lbs.) gave WVU its first win after the Cowboys be-gan with a 7-0 lead. John-ston took Anthony Collica to the mat twice during the first period, Collica scored es-cape and reversal points and Johnston took Collica to the mat a third time for a near-fall to win 8-4.

“Colin (Johnston) is be-coming more confident. He struggled last year with his weight and injuries, and it snowballed to where it took some of his confidence,” Turnbull said. “Now he is beyond it. With two wins over ranked opponents, he is sticking his chest out a lit-tle bit more, and it is coming at the right time in the year.”

The victory gives Johnston back-to-back wins against ranked wrestlers.

Junior Mike Morales (149 lbs.) got taken to the mat in

his bout with Josh Kindig and had a nearfall scored against him en route to a 6-2 loss.

Sophomore Bubba Schef-fel (174 lbs.) went up against Chris Perry, the defending national champion, and fell to the mat in the first period. Perry scored a two-point nearfall and had an escape and a takedown for a 7-0 lead followed by a quick reversal on the way to a 16-6 win.

Freshman Leo Trindade scored West Virginia’s sec-ond win in the 197-lb match-up. He took Darnell Bortz down with Bortz subse-quently scoring two escapes, but Trindade reclaimed the lead with another takedown in the second period and won 8-6.

The loss brings an end to the Mountaineers six-game win streak, as their last defeat came at Iowa State Nov. 15.

WVU returns to action Feb. 1 to host Pittsburgh at the Coliseum at 7 p.m.

Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl pits top ‘O’, top ‘D’(AP) — Peyton Man-

ning’s Denver Broncos and Richard Sherman’s Seattle Seahawks were the NFL’s best all season, so it’s fitting that they’ll meet in the Super Bowl.

Nobody scored as many points or gained as many yards as the Broncos.

Nobody allowed as few points or gave up as few yards as the Seahawks.

And nobody won as many games as those clubs, either.

What a way to finish the season. When the AFC champion Broncos (15-3) play the NFC champion Seahawks (15-3) on Feb. 2 at what could be a chilly MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., it will be the first Super Bowl since 1991 pitting the league’s highest-scoring team in the regular season against the team that was scored on the least, according to STATS.

It’s also only the sec-ond time in the last 20 Su-per Bowls that the No. 1 seed in each conference reached the NFL champi-onship game.

“It will be a great mat c hu p,” S e a haw k s coach Pete Carroll said. “I think it’s an extraordinary opportunity to go against

a guy that set all the re-cords in the history of the game.”

That, of course, would be Manning, the 37-year-old quarterback who is the only four-time NFL MVP – and no one would be surprised if No. 5 arrives the night before the Su-per Bowl. He established marks by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, helping Denver lead the league with 37.9 points and 457.3 yards per game. Manning is an in-escapable pitchman, too, seen Sunday after Sunday during TV commercials. Hey, there he was selling cars during breaks in the broadcast of the NFC title game. Expect even more face time now.

Manning’s oft-told tale, certain to be repeated a million times in the com-ing days, includes his comeback from a series of surgical procedures to his neck, attempts to cure problems that led him to sit out the entire 2011 sea-son. That also led the In-dianapolis Colts to send him packing despite two Super Bowl appearances with that club, including a title in 2007.

“It’s certainly well-doc-umented what my jour-

ney the past 2 1/2 years has been,” said Manning, who could become the first starting QB to lead two franchises to titles, “but this team’s overcome a lot of obstacles this year.”

None more serious, perhaps, than coach John Fox’s absence for about a month because of a heart operation. Other issues in-cluded the fax faux pas that precipitated the depar-ture of pass rusher Elvis Dumervil, star linebacker Von Miller’s drug-testing suspension and season-ending knee injury, and the losses of a handful of other starters on defense.

“Being in my 16th sea-son, going to my third Su-per Bowl – I know how hard it is to get there,” Manning said.

He threw for 400 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-16 victory over Tom Brady and the New Eng-land Patriots in the AFC championship game Sun-day. Manning’s offense scored on six consecutive possessions, accounted for more than 500 yards, had zero turnovers and zero sacks.

Ol’ No. 18’s opposite number in two weeks, Se-attle quarterback Russell Wilson, provides a real

contrast as he seeks his - and the Seahawks’ - first Super Bowl trophy.

Wilson is 6 inches shorter, 12 years younger, a skilled scrambler in only his second pro season af-ter slipping to the third round of the draft ; he’s a guy who had to trans-fer colleges to get playing time and thought about pursuing a baseball ca-reer instead.

“Any time you get to the Super Bowl,” Wilson said after Seattle beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17 on Sunday, “it’s a special time.”

Other members of the Seahawks getting the chance to introduce them-selves to a wide audience include rugged running back Marshawn Lynch – fans tossed packs of his fa-vorite candy, Skittles, onto the field after a 40-yard TD run in the third quarter – and Carroll, a rah-rah sort who was a title-winning college coach at Southern California.

And maybe, just maybe, some of Manning’s less-heralded defensive team-mates – the ones who clamped down on New England’s running game Sunday and limited Brady much of the afternoon –

will get their chance to shine, too.

Seattle’s defense, led by Sherman, allowed an av-erage of 14.4 points and 273.6 yards, and topped the NFL in takeaways.

On Sunday, the Se-ahawks forced three turn-overs in the fourth quar-ter alone, including a victory-sealing intercep-tion by Malcolm Smith af-ter Sherman stretched his left hand to tip Colin Kae-pernick’s pass away from receiver Michael Crabtree in the end zone.

“I’m the best corner in the game,” said Sherman, an All-Pro. “When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the

result you’re going to get.”Seattle’s only other trip

to the big game ended with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006. Denver will be playing in its sev-enth Super Bowl and eye-ing a third title, to go with those from 1998 and 1999, when current executive John Elway was the QB.

In addition to Elway, Manning can match his younger brother Eli with a second Super Bowl crown. Eli, a spectator on Sun-day in Denver, won two trophies with the New York Giants, whose sta-dium hosts this year’s Su-per Bowl, the first to be played outdoors at a cold-weather site.

No. 3 West Virginia dominates Wolfpack at homeRIFLE

By meghaN carrsports writer

@dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia Univer-sity rifle team remains un-defeated after their compe-tition against North Carolina State at home Sunday, 4707 to 4604.

The Mountaineers won both guns on Sunday, de-feating the Wolfpack 2342-2274 in small bore and 2365-2330 in air rifle.

The Mountaineers knew they wanted to make a state-ment in their first match back, and they did just that.

“Our guys had a really strong performance across

the board Sunday. It gives confidence for this semes-ter,” said head coach Jon Hammond. “Even though we had a good team score, there is still little things peo-ple could improve on.

“While we can take con-fidence from this match, we know still have to continue to get better.”

Young shooters were the key for WVU as it earned its best score for the season.

Junior Maren Prediger finished first with a 597 in air rifle, slightly above her 595 finish last year against the GARC foe.

Meelis Kiisk’s 595 mark would finish second behind

Prediger and match his ca-reer-best in air rifle.

A new face for the Moun-taineers gave them an added push in small bore competition.

Junior Ziva Dvorsak earned a 589 in small bore Sunday afternoon against the Wolfpack, finishing first in the discipline. This was her first time on the count-ing team all season, and she finished with two high marks. Dvorsak earned a 594 in air rifle, placing her in third. In her debut, Dvor-sak earned 1183 aggregate score.

“(Ziva’s) debut was excel-lent. She shot really strong in

small bore. I think she even would admit she is a stron-ger air rifle, but she strug-gled a little in it on Sunday,” Hammond said. “I think shooting two matches back to back is a little different than she is used to, but she’ll get the hang of it.”

Sophomore Garrett Spur-geon earned a 591 and fin-ished fourth behind Dvor-sak, while sophomore Patrick Sunderman earned a career-best 590 and placed fifth.

Spurgeon finished second in smallbore after a season-high 587 mark., followed by Jean-Pierre Lucas with a 585 smallbore mark, a personal-

best for him. Hammond was particularly impressed with his performance.

“It’s his first match on the counting team. I think he handled it very well,” he said. “It was a personal best by a long way in smallbore.”

Senior Daniel Sojka earned fifth place with a season-best 581 total for smallbore.

The Wolfpack were paced by Daniel Cliff, who shot a 575 in smallbore, and soph-omore Alex Martin, who tallied 584 in air rifle; both were the top scorers for NC State.

Kiisk finished the day with a season-best aggre-

gate score of 1181, which landed him in first place for the day.

Spurgeon finished in third place with a 1178 ag-gregate score.

Lucas and Sunderman tied for fourth with 1168 to-tals, a career-best for Lucas.

Freshman Sydney Smith earned a career-best 1157.

With the victory, the Mountaineers now hold a 15-0 all-time record over the Wolfpack.

WVU will compete at the Winthrow Invitational in Murray, Ky., Friday and at Memphis Saturday.
