Student killed in hit and runBY Summer ratcliff

City Editor

The life of West Virginia University student Joseph Dzuris was tragically cut short Sunday morning af-ter a hit-and-run accident on Patteson Drive.

Dzuris, a 22-year-old civil engineering student from Harpers Ferry, W.Va., was a three-year Resi-dent Assistant and worked as night staff in Braxton

Tower.The incident, reported

around 5 a.m., and is still under investigation by the Morgantown Police Department.

According to investiga-tors, the vehicle was trav-eling east when it struck Dzuris. The driver then fled the scene.

Morgantown Police Chief, Ed Preston said the department is currently re-viewing surveillance tape

from businesses in the surrounding area and are working to find answers as quickly as possible.

“We are deeply sad-dened by the news of this hit-and-run tragedy that occurred... Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Jo-seph’s family and many friends and the countless students whose lives he touched so meaningfully,” WVU officials said in a statement released Sun-

day morning. Patrick Garcia, a WVU

senior biochemistry stu-dent and friend of Dzuris, said he knew Dzuris from the two years they were RAs in Braxton Tower together.

“I am going to remem-ber Joe by his laugh, he wasn’t the type of guy to just chuckle,” Garcia said. “He would laugh hysteri-cally until he was on the floor and his face com-

pletely red with laughter, so much that his laugh would make everyone around him laugh harder.”

Garcia said whether the incident was an accident or purposeful, he hopes the person responsible will come forward.

“This whole hit-and-run situation just shows how people need to stand up and take responsibility for their actions,” he said. “The Dzuris family deserves an-

swers. It is the very least that could be done, and may provide some type of closure. All we can do is press on and hope that whoever is responsible for this comes forth.”

“I hope people never forget how hardworking and helpful he was,” Gar-cia said. “I know that I will never forget him and neither will his residents

PuPPY lOVe WVU to host first two-day career fair

BY alexiS randOlPhCorrEspondEnt

It’s never too early to start planning for the fu-ture, and this week, stu-dents at West Virginia University will be able to do just that.

The Career Services Center is hosting its ca-reer fair Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Mountainlair ballrooms.

The fair will have nearly 120 employers with 68 on Wednesday and 50 on Thursday. There will be different employers both days so students will benefit from attend-ing both Wednesday and Thursday.

“Because of the in-crease in both employers and students, we have had the need to move to the two-day model,” said Da-vid Durham, director of Career Services.

Employers will be look-ing for students from all

majors to fill internships, full-time jobs and part-time jobs.

Durham said the fair is important to students’ futures, no matter what their class rank is.

“A lot of students think, ‘Well I’m not a senior get-ting ready to graduate, so I shouldn’t go,’ but while a lot of employers are re-cruiting for jobs in May, many are recruiting for internships and part-time jobs, as well,” Dur-ham said.

Zac Hawke, a senior public relations student and career services in-tern, said the fair provides a great opportunity and students should act now.

“For students, this is a chance early in the year to make connections,” Hawke said. “When you wait until the end of the year to try and find a job or an internship, your op-tions are so narrow you

West Virginia Uni-versity’s Student Gov-ernment Association will hold a Community Speak-Up event from 7-9 p.m. tonight in the Rho-dodendron Room of the Mountainlair.

The event will serve as an opportunity for students to voice their thoughts and concerns about a potential change to the current basket-ball student ticketing process.

As it stands, students are not required to re-quest tickets in advance for home basketball games; entry is simply achieved by presenting a student ID at the Coli-seum entrance.

The Speak-Up event will include a Q&A panel consisting of Matt Wells,

assistant athletic direc-tor/Marketing and Sales; University Chief of Po-lice Bob Roberts; and Steve Orlowski, assistant director for the Moun-taineer Maniacs. The event will be moderated by SGA Athletic Coun-cilors Dillon Tucker and Ashley Morgan.

“As an Athletic Coun-cilor for Student Gov-ernment Association, it is my responsibility to bring student opin-ions to the athletic de-partment before they make any decisions re-garding the ticket-ing system,” Morgan said.

Students are also en-couraged to join the conversation by using #WVUSpeak on Twitter.

Hearts of Gold seeks volunteers for service dog program

BY eVelYn merithewstaff writEr

Students at West Virginia University are constantly giv-ing back to the community, and now they can do so in a new, fun way – by training puppies.

Hearts of Gold, a non-profit organization that trains ser-vice dogs, is currently looking for WVU student volunteers.

The program’s volunteers work with dogs by training and fostering them to become assistants to people who have handicaps such as mobile disabilities or Post Trau-matic Stress Disorder.

Student sculptor participates in Michigan art competition BY Summer ratcliff

City Editor

West Virginia University sculpture student Benja-min Gazsi has completed a giant accomplishment.

In 2012, Gazsi, now a se-nior, created what he con-siders his breakout piece. His popular creation, the Coopers Rock Giant, is made of woven twigs, grass, mud and other nat-ural materials.

“Before completing that project I hadn’t found an artistic niche yet and was

searching for a creative focus,” Gazsi said. “In that experience I found that I was happiest creating pub-lic art and interacting with everyday people in an out-door setting. It opened up the idea that I could use sustainable materials to spark the imagination of the viewers.”

In addition to the Coo-pers Rock Giant, Gazsi has created other natural grapevine sculptures, in-cluding a life-size horse for Destiny Hill Farm and a bear that was installed

at Coopers Rock on Earth Day in 2013.

Now, Gazsi has broad-ened his scope and is cur-rently creating “Earth Giant” for a public art competition in Grand Rapids, Michigan, called ArtPrize.

“I overheard my sculp-ture professors, Jason Lee and Dylan Collins, talk-ing about the competition last spring,” he said. “I in-terrupted and asked what they were talking about, I went home and registered that evening.”

During the next phase of the competition Gazsi said he submitted his idea to public parks in the Grand Rapids area to de-termine where his compe-tition sculpture would be erected.

“I was then contacted by the Grand Rapids Public Museum and was invited to show on their grounds,” he said. “I looked into the museum and found that they had been a top venue every year since ArtPrize

can get stuck doing some-thing that does not make you happy.”

While student atten-dance is up, the center still feels the number of students taking advan-tage of this resource is low.

With a goal of bringing in more than 2,500 stu-dents this week, Durham said the fair is about mak-ing connections.

“It’s all about the net-working,” Durham said.

Students are encour-aged to come to the fair prepared. This means stu-dents should dress profes-sionally, bring a resume and come with a 30-second speech.

Another way the career service center has proac-tively helped students pre-pare is with its new app, WVUJobsFairs.

This app will help stu-dents navigate the fair, learn more about poten-

tial employers and elimi-nate lengthy handouts.

Students can click on their app and be directed to a page that asks them about which fair they are attending; from there they are able to navigate through the day’s employers and even schedule the tables that they would like to visit.

The app is now avail-able for free down-load to most devices, including Apple and Android.

Sarah Glenn, assistant director of Employer Re-lations for the Center said the app is helpful.

“The most important things for students to know are to be prepared, at-tend both days and down-load your app,” Glenn said.

since 2006,” said Lindsay Parenti, director of program development.

“We have three courses that students can take where we teach the stu-dents how to train the ser-vice dogs.”

There is a basic service dog class students can take and two more advanced classes students may con-tinue to take. Each class is one semester long, and the program works with a vari-ety of different dogs, includ-ing Golden Retrievers, Lab-

rador Retrievers, German Shepherds and Chesapeake Bay Retrievers.

“We are looking for vol-unteers to do a variety of things, but in order to han-dle our dogs independently, you have to be certified, so it’s easier if students have taken the required class, Animal and Veterinary Sci-ences 276,” Parenti said.

There is no major re-quirement to take the classes, and Parenti said there are students within a variety of different majors ranging from engineering to pre-veterinary studies who volunteer.

Erin Keller, a second-year reproductive physi-ology student, is currently

fostering one of the dogs in training.

“I took the 276 class a couple years ago and fell in love with the program,” Keller said. “This past sum-mer, I decided to foster a dog, and we’ve had her since June.

“The training takes a long time, but she is doing really well.”

Lexi, Keller’s foster dog, is currently in her second semester of training and is five months old. Lexi, like the other dogs in training, has basic lab training for two hours a day, Monday-Friday and works with mul-tiple student volunteers.

It is the foster parents’ job to reinforce what the dogs

are taught on a daily basis. Each week, the dogs

learn three to five differ-ent commands. Currently, there are about 11 dogs be-ing trained, and the major-ity of those are being fos-tered by past students who took the classes.

Parenti said that as of now, the success rate na-tionwide of training service dogs is about 50 percent.

“Until now, we did not have a breeding program,” she said. “In the next cou-ple of months we are ac-tually having puppies that we bred on our own. Thus far, we’ve gotten puppies to train wherever we could.”

In the next year, the non-profit will have two litters

of puppies including one Golden Retriever litter and one German Shepherd lit-ter. Having full-bred pup-pies helps raise the chances of the dogs being fully ca-pable of performing help-ful tasks.

Parenti said some of the tasks include guiding those in wheelchairs, opening and closing doors, turning lights on and off and pick-ing things up for the person.

“West Virginia has a re-ally high rate of veterans with disabilities – one of the highest in the nation,” she said. “There is a high de-mand of people out there who really need these dogs, but the supply is really low.

“The more volunteers we

can get, the more people we can help.”

There are many opportu-nities for community service with Hearts of Gold, includ-ing training the dogs, foster-ing the dogs, spreading the word around the commu-nity and fundraising.

“Anyone who has any sort of interest in animals should take the classes,” Keller said. “Working with the dogs is very rewarding. It’s a nice feeling knowing you helped train the dog who is going to change someone’s life.”

began in 2009, having at least one top-ten win-ner each year. I of course agreed to show there and that led to me being here now in Grand Rapids.”

After being approved by ArtPrize, Gazsi began his re-creation of the Coopers Rock Giant. He remade ev-ery portion of the giant us-ing all natural materials found in West Virginia. The only difference this time would be creating the giant in a way that al-lowed it to be transported to Michigan in a truck.

“I had to build it with the ability to take it apart in pieces to be rebuilt on site at the museum,” he said. “The museum staff was very helpful in provid-ing me photographs and dimensions of my space so I could rebuild the area in West Virginia and visual-ize the outcome.”

In order to tie his new giant to the museum, Gazsi said he made small

adjustments to his sculp-ture. He chose to change the positioning of the gi-ant as well as adding props to the sculpture, including a fire pit and fishing pole.

Without WVU, Gazsi said he would not have been given this amaz-ing opportunity he now has. He said he con-tributes his successes and abilities to Lee and Collins.

“The support I have from the professors at the CAC and the WVU creative arts program has helped lift me into whatever suc-cesses I have gained to date,” he said. “The free-dom and creative sup-port I get from those two has made WVU a perfect place for me to grow as an artist.”

Winners of ArtPrize will be announced Oct. 4. The top-ten finishers will re-ceive cash awards, with a grand prize of$200,000.

Gunman in navy Yard shooting was in navy reservesAaron Alexis seems a

study in contradictions: a former Navy reservist, a De-fense Department contrac-tor, a convert to Buddhism who was taking an online course in aeronautics. But he also had flashes of tem-per that led to run-ins with police over shootings in Fort Worth, Texas, and Seattle.

A profile began to emerge Monday of the man author-ities identified as the gun-man in a mass shooting at the Navy Yard in Washing-ton, D.C., that left 13 people dead, including the 34-year-old man. While some neigh-bors and acquaintances de-scribed him as “nice,” his father once told detectives in Seattle that his son had anger management prob-lems related to post-trau-matic stress brought on by the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

At the time of the shoot-

ings, he worked for The Ex-perts, a subcontractor on an HP Enterprise Services con-tract to refresh equipment used on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet network.

His life over the past de-cade has been checkered.

Alexis lived in Seattle in 2004 and 2005, according to public documents. In 2004, Seattle police said Alexis was arrested for shoot-ing out the tires of another man’s vehicle in what he later described to detectives as an anger-fueled “black-out.” According to an ac-count on the department’s website, two construction workers had parked their Honda Accord in the drive-way of their worksite, next to a home where Alexis was staying. The work-ers reported seeing a man, later identified by police as Alexis, walk out of the home next to their worksite, pull a

gun from his waistband and fire three shots into the rear tires of their Honda before he walked slowly back to his home.

When detectives inter-viewed workers at the con-struction site, they told po-lice Alexis had stared at construction workers at the job site daily for several weeks prior to the shooting. The owner of the construc-tion business told police he believed Alexis was angry over the parking situation around the site.

Police eventually ar-rested Alexis, searched his home, found a gun and am-munition in his room, and booked him into the King County Jail for malicious mischief.

According to the police account, Alexis told detec-tives he perceived he had been “mocked” by con-struction workers the morn-

ing of the incident. Alexis also claimed he had an an-ger-fueled “blackout,” and could not remember firing his gun at the Honda until an hour after the incident.

Alexis also told police he was present during “the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001” and described “how those events had disturbed him.”

Then, on May 5, 2007, he enlisted in the Navy re-serves, serving through 2011, according to Navy spokeswoman Lt. Megan Shutka.

Shutka said he received the National Defense Ser-vice Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal during his stint in the reserves. Both are med-als issued to large numbers of service members who served abroad and in the United States since the 9/11 attacks. Alexis’ last assign-

ment was as aviation elec-tricians mate 3rd class at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth, Shutka said.

It was while he was still in the reserves that a neighbor in Fort Worth reported she had been nearly struck by a bullet shot from his down-stairs apartment.

In September 2010, Fort Worth police questioned Alexis about the neighbor’s report; he admitted to fir-ing his weapon but said he was cleaning his gun when it accidentally discharged. He said he didn’t call the po-lice because he didn’t think the bullet went through to the other apartment. The neighbor told police she was scared of Alexis and felt he fired intentionally because he had complained about her making too much noise.

Alexis was arrested on suspicion of discharging

a firearm within city lim-its but Tarrant County dis-trict attorney’s spokes-woman Melody McDonald Lanier said the case was not pursued after it was deter-mined the gun discharged accidentally.

After leaving the reserves, Alexis worked as a waiter and delivery driver at the Happy Bowl Thai restau-rant in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth, ac-cording to Afton Bradley, a former co-worker. The two overlapped for about eight months before Alexis left in May, Bradley said.

Having traveled to Thai-land, Alexis learned some Thai and could speak to Thai customers in their na-tive language.

“He was a very nice per-son,” Bradley said in a phone interview. “It kind of blows my mind away. I wouldn’t think anything bad at all.”

Jim Knipple to join School of Theatre & Dance as visiting professor

WVUTODAY.WVU.eDUProfessor Knipple will join the WVU School of Theatre & Dance .

BY LACEY PALMERA&E EDITOR

The West Virginia Uni-versity College of Creative Arts recently welcomed resident artist and visit-ing assistant professor Jim Knipple to the School of Theatre & Dance.

As an acclaimed stage director, producer, scenic designer and theater edu-cator, Knipple is excited to start his career at WVU.

“I saw the post listed on some website and thought, ‘I’d love that job,’ but there’s so much com-petition for positions at places like WVU, so I sent my application never ac-tually thinking that I’d hear back,” Knipple said. “In fact, I sent it in the fall of last year, and I actu-ally took a different posi-tion at a different univer-sity, thinking that I mustn’t have made the cut; then I got the call that WVU wanted to interview me.”

After about three rounds of interviews, Knipple was offered the job. The term “visiting” in his title im-

plies that it’s a short term position – up to three years in length.

“I did insist on the de-partment including a WVU sweatshirt before I for-mally accepted the offer,” Knipple said.

Knipple said he believes this position is perfect for him, as he loves directing, working on new plays and working with students. When Knipple came to the interview at WVU, he was also incredibly impressed with the faculty and the way in which they work together.

“I knew that this would be a great place to join from a professional and creative perspective, but it wasn’t until I had to do a demo class with some stu-dents that I got my socks knocked off,” Knipple said.

“Here it was, a Monday morning right after spring break, and a bunch of stu-dents are forced to partic-ipate in a mock class with a total stranger that they might never see again,” Knipple said. “I honestly didn’t know what to ex-

pect, but every single student was responsive, excited and even passion-ate about what we talked about. I actually ended up having way more fun than you should in a high pres-sure interview, and I think that they did, too.”

Knipple will be direct-ing the upcoming theater performance of “The Liar.”

Opening just before Thanksgiving, “The Liar,” which was first performed in 1644, features fast-paced dialogue, mistaken identities and a patholog-ical liar.

“‘The Liar’ is a fantasti-cally fun play about a guy who falls for a girl and cre-ates these amazingly fan-tastical stories to try to im-press her and end up with her,” Knipple said. “But as always, things get com-plicated for him for myr-iad reasons, not the least of which is that he gets the girl (who happens to se-cretly be engaged to his friend) confused with her friend.”

Knipple said David Ives did a great job of adapting

the show, making it easy to follow and funny for mod-ern audiences.

“We’ve got some excit-ing surprises in store for this show, so make sure that you get your tickets to it,” Knipple said.

The show begins Nov. 21 in the Gladys G. Da-vis Theatre of the Creative Arts Center.

Knipple is excited to display his passion for the-ater on the Creative Arts Center’s stage.

“For me, theater is great because we, as an audi-ence, get to watch stories about ordinary people in extraordinary situa-tions,” Knipple said. “Plays aren’t about the everyday, the mundane, the banal. They’re about the rare mo-ments in life when some-thing rocks our world, and the characters are forced to actually try to make sense of it, to step out and act bravely.”

Knipple’s love for his job is undeniable, which can only be bene-ficial for the students at WVU.

“I love directing and playwriting because, when done well, it makes me feel more human and more connected to my fellow

humans,” Knipple said. “And I think that’s what art is about.”

Janelle Monae releases third album ‘The Electric Lady,’ pleasing fans

Janelle Monae. If you haven’t heard the name, you are living a seriously under-privileged life.

We tend to categorize an artist in one genre and one genre only. If an artist breaks away from that, it is gener-ally ill-received.

Monae’s music can-not be categorized. People have tried though, saying she’s R&B, rock, retro, funk or soul, but ultimately she is above and beyond these labels.

In 2007, she came onto

the music scene and was signed to Bad Boy Records. Since then, she has some-how managed to stay out of the general public’s favor.

Monae moonwalked into the limelight on Sept. 10 with the anticipated third major release of her career, “The Electric Lady”.

The 19-track album is available in stores across the country, but the full deluxe edition can only be found at Target.

Monae stated in multi-ple interviews that George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are major inspirations to her work.

Their work fueled the cre-ation of a futuristic, dysto-

pian society in which she places the story for “The Electric Lady”.

The album continues to follow the journey of her al-ter ego Cindi Mayweather, an android (a metaphor for the minorities in America).

Here we find Mayweather falling in love with a human and the resulting trouble she gets into.

Sonically, it can be de-scribed as, “The apocalypse is coming, and this is the al-bum you’re dancing to!”

You might have heard the album’s lead single, “Q.U.E.E.N.,” featuring Erykah Badu.

“Q.U.E.E.N.” is described by Monae as an anthem

for the oppressed. But have no fear. This is not another “Born This Way.”

It brings together those who feel “marginalized” and makes your head bob in the process.

Monae ends “Q.U.E.E.N.” by breaking down into a Martin Luther-esque rap, saying “…add us to equa-tions but they’ll never make us equal.”

The second single, “Dance Apocalyptic,” is a delicious three-and-a-half minutes of pop perfection. It’s peppy, dancey and downright fun. It sounds like a modern day Bo Diddley.

On Saturday afternoon, Monae performed at the

iTunes Festival in London, rocking the house. Glisten-ing under the stage lights, she transformed into the fe-male Elvis of our generation.

To truly understand this artist, you have to watch her live.

Her performances are al-ways energetic, echoing the likes of James Brown and Little Richard. She’s known to rip off her mic and dive into the crowd, overcome with adrenaline.

She is a pro at command-ing a crowd’s attention. Standing before her instru-ment of choice (the audi-ence), she becomes the conductor to a pop cultural symphony.

The symphony doesn’t stop there. “The Electric Lady” is one of the best re-leases of 2013 and Moane herself is the most exciting thing happening in music.

Can it compete with Katy and Miley? What about Brit-ney’s next single?

Who knows. But Monae has already won; she doesn’t need a chart-topping album to confirm that.

Point blank, go buy the album. It is a masterpiece from beginning to end. Pop it in, press play and prepare for an hour long journey through the mind of Janelle Monae.

Cast revealed for Disney’s new show ‘Aladdin’NEW YORK (AP) — When

he was a kid, James Monroe Iglehart wished to be a Dis-ney character. When he was 17, he wanted to be the Ge-nie in “Aladdin.” Now at 39, he’s getting all his wishes.

Disney Theatrical Pro-ductions on Monday an-nounced the full Broad-way-bound cast of the new musical, with Iglehart in the role made famous by Robin Williams, who lent his manic voice to the big blue Genie in the 1992 ani-mated version of “Aladdin.”

“It took three wishes from the time I was 4 to 39,” said Iglehart. “I can’t wait. I am looking forward to this challenge but truthfully I want to have as much fun as I can and ride this bad boy out as far as I can.”

Iglehart previously played singer Bobby in the Tony Award-winning “Memphis,” a role he origi-nated, and made his Broad-way debut as a replacement in “The 25th Annual Put-nam County Spelling Bee.” He also played opposite Ashanti in a production of “The Wiz” in 2009.

Iglehart, who counts Robin Williams among his favorite comedians, will be taking a different approach onstage than his hero. “It’s

a little bit of Cab Calloway. It’s a little Fats Waller. And it’s a lot of me,” he said.

“I’ve loved this role since I was 17 and I first saw the cartoon. I just wanted to come at it a little bit differ-ent. It would be stupid to try and recreate Robin Wil-liams,” he said. “I know to recreate someone’s work is like performing suicide.”

He’ll be joined by Adam Jacobs in the title role, add-ing to his Broadway cred-its that includes Marius in “Les Miserables” and Simba in “The Lion King.” Jasmine will be portrayed by Courtney Reed, a vet-eran of “In the Heights” and “Mamma Mia.”

As Jafar, actor Jonathan Freeman will be a strong link to 1992 animated film. Freeman, who has been in “Mary Poppins” and “The Little Mermaid,” was the voice of the evil Jafar in the film, too.

“Aladdin,” with songs by Alan Menken, will be di-rected and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw, whose previous hits include “The Book of Mormon” and “The Drowsy Chaperone.” Bob Crowley, who has a Tony for “Mary Poppins,” will design the sets, and Chad Begue-

lin has written the story and some lyrics.

The show will feature a 34-member cast, new songs by Menken and magic tricks. It will first be staged at Toronto’s Ed Mir-vish Theatre this November until Jan. 5, before it rides a magic carpet to Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theatre and opens next year.

Iglehart recently checked the weather forecast next month in Canada and it said he should expect tem-peratures of minus-5. “I looked at my wife and said, ‘I’ve never seen minus-any-thing!’ So I’m a little ner-vous about that but, I’ve been wanting to go to Can-ada for many, many years. So I’m looking forward to it.”

The “Aladdin” story cen-ters on a commoner who falls for the free-spirited Princess Jasmine and has his life change with one rub of a magic lamp. Iglehart said the stage version will be distinct from the movie version, in the same way “The Lion King” onstage is vastly different from the film.

“It’s going to be its own thing,” he said. “I think peo-ple are going to totally love it.”

Controversial JFK book to be reissued in OctoberNEW YORK (AP) — One

of the most controversial books about John F. Ken-nedy, William Manches-ter’s “The Death of a Pres-ident,” is being reissued as an e-book and paperback.

Little, Brown and Com-pany announced Monday that “Death of a President” will be available Oct. 8. It’s currently out of print.

Manchester’s book had been authorized by the Kennedy family soon af-ter JFK’s murder but was delayed after Jacqueline Kennedy threatened le-

Some material was re-moved. The book was pub-lished in 1967 and became a best-seller.

Numerous books are coming out this fall to mark the 50th anni-versary of Kennedy’s assassination.

Since its premiere in July, the Netflix original series “Orange is the New Black” has drawn a mas-sive viewership.

According to Netflix, the show gained more viewers in its first week than any of their other original series gained in entire seasons.

The show has garnered positive reviews from viewers and critics alike.

The series, based on Piper Kerman’s memoir, details one woman’s year-long experience in prison after her decade-old re-lationship with a lesbian drug runner catches up to her.

In the debut episode, viewers see main char-acter Piper Chapman go from planning her dream wedding and running her hand-crafted soap com-pany to repairing elec-trical equipment and fighting off the sexual advances of a mentally ill prison inmate, nick-named “Crazy Eyes.”

As the series contin-ues, we see hilarious sit-uations such as a race to catch a live chicken in the prison yard (rumored to be filled with drugs, money or candy), a meth addict turned born-again Christian turned faith-healer, and a “scared straight” program for at-risk youth gone horribly wrong.

Inmates come together to help each other in times of need, and by the season finale, seem more like family than a group of women forced together by incarceration.

Although the bonds shared by main charac-ters in the show and the comedic situations that arise from them are at the forefront of season one, the harsh realities of a life behind bars in the U.S. are just as much a part of the show. Viewers see inmates subjected to

abuse by fellow inmates and male prison guards; a psychiatric ward that does little or nothing to help mentally ill prisoners; the horrors of the solitary confinement unit; inmate suicide; and the overall toll incarceration can take on a person. With these issues showcased and derived from a memoir based on true events, the show brings to light the question of whether or not the prison system in the United States is work-ing as it was intended.

The U.S. boasts the world’s highest incarcer-ation rate, with as many as 2.3 million of our citi-zens locked away in pris-ons and jails. Over 80,000 of those inmates are held in some kind of solitary confinement or isolation, when studied, has shown time and again to do a great deal more bad than it does good. As many as 1 in 10 prisoners are sexu-ally victimized, with about half those abuses com-mitted by prison employ-ees. Suicide accounts for nearly a third of all pris-oner deaths, many arising from substandard medi-

cal care and nutrition. We’ve all heard the ex-

pression: “If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.” Of course it is true most of those incarcer-ated in our country have made conscious choices to land behind bars.

However, when faced with such alarming data, one must wonder whether our prison system is re-habilitating inmates so they may once again be-come productive mem-bers of society – as it was designed to do – or if it is simply dehumaniz-ing them for the purpose of keeping them locked away in a cage.

If prison conditions in the U.S. are ever to im-prove, steps must be taken to ensure inmates’ safety inside prison walls as well as their success outside of them.

This can be more cost effective to taxpayers than it seems. By sim-ply recruiting more vol-unteer staff members to work with and counsel in-mates, we could see more offenders able to effec-tively reintegrate them-selves into society. Man-

datory training for prison staff on communica-tion, conflict resolution and human relations can drastically improve the lives of those behind bars and would cost taxpayers very little.

U s i n g a l t e r n a t i v e means of punishment for nonviolent offenders and those who are not a direct threat to society, as well as providing them with em-ployment furloughs dur-ing their prison stay, will increase their chances of success after they com-plete their sentences and again, will be at minimal cost to taxpayers.

Mahatma Gandhi once said: “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.”

Those who we lock away, although they are criminals, are much more vulnerable than they seem. If we shift the fo-cus of our prison system to truly rehabilitate and reintegrate the incarcer-ated, it would be a direct benefit to our country as a whole.

Career fair beneficial to students

The threads that bind us are much deeper than the ones that separate us.

The relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. goes much further than just our shared history beginning a mere 237 years ago.

On the surface, it’s plainly obvious these two countries have been allies for a long time. However, if you dig a little deeper into history and look at the many com-mon threads these coun-tries share, you begin to re-alize the links they have go far beyond the basic notions of a strong ally or neighbors “across the pond.”

The roots of our Consti-tution are steeped in an an-cient document called the Magna Carta. This docu-ment was written in 1215 by England’s land barons as a rebuttal of the King’s power grab. This formally set in stone the rights of free Eng-lishman and carried on into the formation of English Common Law, which still exists in the U.K. to this day.

These legal concepts formed the core of our Con-stitution, which served as a direct inspiration to what the Founding Fathers saw as their move to limit the power of a tyrannical king.

Contrary to popular be-lief, the Founding Fathers never wanted indepen-dence from the British Em-pire. Nonetheless, as we all know from American his-tory classes, the throne of England sought to impose its will on the colonists.

In response, the Found-ing Fathers saw it as their right to break away from the throne to live as free men.

Relations between the U.S. and the U.K. remained distant until the late 19th century when the countries formed common economic interests that resulted in better foreign relations.

However, even with the mass immigration from other countries, many of the stereotypes of the old world still carried over across the Atlantic.

The American working class was often compared to the working-class Irish, who had a deep seated re-sentment to the English ar-istocracy both here and in the U.K.

At this time, the term “W.A.S.P.,” which stands for White Anglo-Saxon Prot-estant, was coined in or-

der to distinguish the priv-ileged upper classes from the working classes who so often represented a much wider array of ethnicities.

It would take much more than an opinion column to dive into the details of the strong cultural similarities, but in short, one can see the resemblance of com-mon culture and values in the English-speaking world.

It was with the onset of World War I that Ameri-cans and Brits fought in the trenches of the Ardennes to-gether to form the first no-tion of a special relation-ship, but this relationship endured (and continues to endure) the test of conflict after conflict.

During World War II, the notion became iron-clad with Prime Minister Win-ston Churchill as the Eng-lish-speaking countries stormed the beaches of Nor-mandy to fight and die to-gether for a common cause.

Throughout the Cold War, they stood together against a common foe in the So-viet Union. Right after 9/11, the first call to the president from a foreign country was from British Prime Minister Tony Blair letting him know no matter what, the U.K. would stand by his side to find those responsible.

Whether you, reader, be-lieve in the invasion of Iraq, the U.K. stood behind us, and fought beside us as our closest and most trusted ally.

To be fair, the U.K. is clearly not the only coun-try who has stood by our side in moments of dark-ness. Countries such as France and Poland, among many others, have at vary-ing points been staunch al-lies when we needed them the most.

However, the feeling with the U.K. and other Com-monwealth countries is a bit different from the rest of our close allies. Even though in reality we are foreigners in the other English-speak-ing countries, when we visit, we don’t quite feel like a for-eigner; we see the world in a similar way, we speak the same language and we of-ten find the same kinds of humor – which befuddle those from other cultures – hilarious.

Despite some of the staunch political differences our nations share, the com-mon threads that allow us to relate and communicate will always be what bind us together.

So you want a job after college. But where do you even start? This is a ques-tion we all ask ourselves at least once in our years in college.

Luckily, West Virginia University Career Services Center is here to help. Wednesday and Thurs-day, Career Services will host a career fair in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

Do not miss this oppor-tunity. We repeat: do not miss this opportunity.

Even if you aren’t look-ing for a full-time job, the career fair can help you find a summer internship.

Career fairs are benefi-cial in general to college students, because likely they’ll never have a chance to meet with so many po-tential employers and net-

work again once they grad-uate past the safety net that is college.

And these aren’t man-agers from McDonald’s, either.

There are recruiters from B/E Aerospace, the Federal Bureau of Inves-tigation, Mylan, various West Virginia state depart-ments, and of course, the more summer and win-ter break friendly employ-ers such as Nordstrom and Target.

Attendees are encour-aged to proofread and print several copies of their resumes and dress in pro-fessional attire. Quick re-fresher: this means a but-ton down shirt, tie and dress shoes for men and a fairly conservative top and skirt or dress pants or pro-

fessional dress with mod-est heels or a nice pair of flats for women.

Even if your efforts don’t land you a job, don’t fret. The average person ap-plies to 20 companies be-fore finding employment. And if you do impress the recruiters, spread the word to your fellow job-seekers.

If you feel like you aren’t fully prepared for this se-mester’s fair, there will be another in the spring semester.

Career Services can help you prepare for your career in other ways, as well.

Students can make ap-pointments for mock in-terviews to prepare and receive tips to have a suc-cessful interview with any type of employer.

There are also classes

with credit available to en-rolled college students. ORIN 151: Career Explo-ration and Planning is in-tended to help freshmen and sophomores deter-mine both a major and ca-reer path based on their interests and relevant strengths.

ORIN 252: The Job Search is for juniors and seniors either preparing to enter the work force or ap-plying to graduate school. This class focuses on de-veloping strong resumes, cover letters and portfolios.

There is also a series of professional development seminars each week at Ca-reer Services. For more in-formation about the series and the schedule for the upcoming services, visit careerservices.wvu.edu.

If you are struggling with putting together a resume and cover letter but don’t have the time or desire to take an entire class, sched-ule an appointment at the WVU English Department Writing Center in Colson Hall. The tutors are trained to help students with any type of writing from end-of-semester papers to resumes.

For more information about the Writing Center or to schedule an appoint-ment, visit http://english.wvu.edu/centers-projects/writing-center.

There’s no time like the present to get a head start on your future, because it’ll be here sooner than you realize.

HOROSCOPEBY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year you often go back and forth when trying to make a decision, as you clearly see both sides of an issue. You want to be helpful, but you might want to be more dis-criminating as to whom you choose to lend a hand. If you are single, you might not want to commit this year, even though you could meet some-one quite spectacular. Do not settle. If you are attached, the two of you of-ten debate who does what, as far as household chores go. Respect your differences rather than harp on them, and you’ll be much happier.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH You could be unusually verbal, but you also will choose to hold back more of your feelings. You might ex-press some of your stronger emo-

tions to a close confidant; otherwise, mum’s the word. Start working on a project that has been on your mind. Tonight: Take time for yourself.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You finally will focus on what you want. A meeting could be provoca-tive – mainly because of the mix of people involved. You could be over-serious and withdrawn, as you have a lot to think about. Worry less; the odds are in your favor! Tonight: Catch up on a pal’s news.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You like to demonstrate your ability to make waves. Right now, all eyes are on you. You’ll take the lead in a project, and others will observe. How much of your dramatic personality do you want involved? Only you can de-cide what is appropriate. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You often defer to others and then get angry because you feel as if they walk all over you. Who do you have to blame but yourself? Establish bound-aries. Take some of the edge off your energy, for everyone’s sake. Tonight: Let your mind wander to your favor-ite type of music.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You’ll feel the downward spiral of working very hard and not getting your way with a key matter. This realization will happen at the last minute and force you to regroup. A family member’s un-pleasant mood won’t help. Tonight: Take your cues from someone else.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Your popularity soars, and with this status comes opportunity. Some of you might act like a kid in a candy store. Take advantage of the mo-

ment. It’s not often that you have prospects like this. To others, you might seem a bit withdrawn. Tonight: In the flurry of the moment.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH You’ll be determined to handle a per-sonal matter directly and efficiently. Put what is happening between you and someone else on hold. You have other priorities that you need to attend to. Do not worry so much about your finances. Tonight: A proj-ect awaits you at home.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Many people might view you as be-ing distant or stern right now, but you simply are trying not to fall off course. You can’t always be serious, so try not to crush your inner child’s spirit. Schedule some free time. To-night: Indulge in some lighthearted fun. You need a change of pace.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You might want to retreat, which will surprise even you. Whether you’re not feeling well or you’re quietly reviewing a changing situation, you will benefit from some time away from all the action. Consider working from home and/or staying close to home. Tonight: Treat yourself.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Study different alternatives, and feel free to ask questions that re-late to the situation at hand. Your de-cision will be solid, and you will have gone through the necessary process. An associate or friend could have dif-ficulty opening up. Give this person space. Tonight: Out late.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Your ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel might be necessary when dealing with a money matter.

Others will feel invigorated by your vision. You might be overtired and worried about a personal matter. To-night: Treat a friend or loved one to dinner at a favorite restaurant.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You express so much enthusiasm through your body language that others will see you in a positive light. Once a conversation begins, others might respond much more positively than you thought possible. News from afar could surprise you. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Opening weekend of ‘Art’ a successBy Shawnee Moran

AssociAte A&e editor

What happens when you mix a white painting and three power-hungry, attention-seeking friends? You get a comedic 90 min-ute play by Yasmina Reza exploring the meaning of art and friendship.

Under the brilliant direc-tion of West Virginia Uni-versity’s English profess-orDavid Beach, and with the help of three incredibly talented actors, Reza’s “Art” came to life this weekend at local theater company M.T. Pockets.

Beach, who could be seen in the audience both evenings, was very pleased with the actors perfor-mances and the audience’s reaction to the play.

“Between the feedback I’ve received (and) my own eavesdropping, the recep-tion has been overwhelm-ingly positive,”Beach said. “I have said several times that I hit the jackpot with the cast, and I went into opening night confident we would have a solid show.

“I admired the actors’ ability to work with adapt-

ing their timing to the au-dience reactions since we really had not had (a live) audience before opening night.”

Vickie Trickett, director of marketing & develop-ment at M.T. Pockets, was delighted by the successful turnout of opening week-end, which included a full house Friday and a nearly sold-out show Saturday.

“Opening weekend was great. A full house is always exciting for the actors; it feeds their energy,” Trick-ett said. “We were very, very pleased with the turn out and look forward to re-peating it for the remain-ing shows.”

Friday evening the in-timate theater company proudly opened its doors for the first performance of “Art”; every seat in the venue was filled with family members and friends sup-porting their loved ones.

As theatergoers grabbed their play bills and glasses of wine, they excitedly chatted about the perfor-mance. When they were fi-nally settled and comfort-able in their seats, Beach welcomed everyone to the

show and within no time the actors took to the stage.

The play began by fo-cusing on the friendship between Marc (Ben Ad-ducchio) and Serge (Josh Rocchi). The two ob-served a painting Serge had bought, but this wasn’t just any painting – the painting in ques-tion was white with “white lines.”

Marc could not under-stand why Serge would pay an absurd amount of money for this painting and why he did not con-sult him before buying it. He goes to friend Yvan (Jim Stacy) to seek his advice on the painting.

To Marc’s surprise, Yvan doesn’t hate the painting. In fact, the more he looks at it, the more he is con-vinced he likes it and he is “touched by the different colors.”

Marc is bewildered and, like the other characters, grows increasingly frus-trated throughout the play. When the three finally ap-pear on stage together, the truth about the painting and ultimately their friend-ship begins to come out.

The actors took advan-tage of the witty script, full of witty one-liners and clever monologues causing audience members to howl with laughter. The dramatic side to the play, the tension between characters in par-ticular, was also well exe-cuted by the actors.

Adducchio said he en-joyed the crowd’s reactions during the performances and learned a lot about the play.

“I did learn that some parts of the play, like my fi-nal monologue, are really funny to the audience and that can change the tone of the scene in an instant,” he said. “It’s really inter-esting how the audience’s responses change how we as actors interpret the play.”

Saturday, audience members had the privilege of a talk-back with the cast and director of the show. Professor Jerry McGonigle, who is directing another play by Reza in a couple of weeks at WVU (“God of Carnage”), also joined the talk-back.

The reaction from both nights was clear – audience

members thoroughly en-joyed the show.

Kristyn Edgar, a law stu-dent at WVU and an un-official member of M.T. Pockets Theatre Company, enjoyed both the comedic and dramatic elements of the play.

“The play was both funny and thought-provoking. The best moments were when all three actors were onstage, creating a scene of eccentricity that riveted the audience’s attention,” Ed-gar said. “There was a def-

inite sense that these three characters had known each other a long time.”

“Art” will continue to run at M.T. Pockets Thurs-day, Friday and Saturday. Audience members are encouraged to buy tickets ahead of time.

Terry Crews talks ‘Brooklyn nine-nine’ premiere and careerBy LaCey PaLMer

A&e editor

Actor and former NFL player Terry Crews will star in FOX’s new series “Brook-lyn Nine-Nine,” premiering tonight.

In the show, a comedy about what happens when a talented detective gets a new captain with a lot to prove, Crews plays Terry Jeffords, an experienced officer.

“I play a guy named Terry Jeffords, who used to be obese, and he worked his way into becoming a really great cop, losing weight and doing all of his work until he became kind of a super cop,” Crews said. “But recently, he got married and had two

baby twin girls, and now that is preventing him from do-ing his job.

“He’s so afraid of getting killed or being maimed, then he can’t see his babies.”

According to Crews, this is a classic problem, even in real life.

“Any cop that has a family is always a little nervous and wonders if they’ll be home that night, and the family wonders about that, too,” Crews said.

Crews said he believes the viewers will have a good time watching the show.

“Everyone should still go to work, and everyone should still do their job, but if you are at home and you want to relax, get a good laugh and hang with some people to see some comedy, our show is the place to be,” Crews said. “If you’re going to watch anything, watch us.”

Crews’ other recent proj-ects include “Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2,” “Ar-rested Development” and “The Newsroom.” He is cur-rently filming “The Family-moon,” in which he co-stars opposite Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, but he is perhaps most well-known for his past roles in the Old Spice commercials and his role as Julius Rock in “Every-body Hates Chris.”

He has also made ap-pearances in popular films including “Bridesmaids,” “The Expendables,” “Friday After Next,” “Malibu’s Most Wanted,” “White Chicks,” “The Longest Yard” and “Benchwarmers.”

Every television show Crews has been a part of has made it to 100 or more ep-isodes, further proving his talent.

Prior to a prestigious act-ing career, Crews played in the NFL, but he said he never anticipated becoming an actor.

“It’s weird, because I re-tired from the NFL in ’97, and I always wanted to get into entertainment, but I wasn’t trying to act; I was try-ing to be behind the scenes,” Crews said. “A friend of mine

invited me to an audition – the first audition I ever went to – and I got it.

“It was kind of strange, and I’ve never stopped act-ing after that. That was back in 1998, 1999, and the career kept going.”

With such a variety of roles throughout this career, one would assume things could get a little confusing, but Crews disagrees.

“No, it’s really a lot of fun (to balance all the roles), because it pro-vides a good break,” Crews said. “You get to turn around and be somebody else.

“One day, you’re a cop in Brooklyn, and the next you’re in Somali shoot-ing at pirates and blowing up buildings. It’s just never boring.”

Crews said it’s impossible for him to pick one role he enjoys more than the others.

“There is not one single role that I can really point out as being better than the rest,” Crews said. “I really never take jobs based on money or anything; it’s just really whether I love the role or not.

“I love them all. That’s like asking me which kid I like the most.”

Crews is the father of four daughters and one son and is married to Rebecca Crews. From 2010-11, the fam-ily was featured on a reality television show titled “The Family Crews.” Although he had a few reservations about bringing his family onto a re-ality show, Crews likes to get a taste of everything.

“It’s weird, because I knew reality is not going any-where,” Crews said. “I always try to try everything and do everything.

“That’s how I ended up in ‘Cloudy With a Chance

of Meatballs,’ and I’ve even done some correspondence on the ‘Today’ Show.”

He said although the re-ality show involved a little persuading, it’s an experi-ence the entire family is glad they had.

“I had to get it cleared with my family to see how they would feel, and after I con-vinced them and paid them very well, they said, ‘Yeah, we’ll do it,’” Crews said. “It took a lot of arm-twisting at first.

“But as the time went on, they enjoyed it, and it be-came one of the things we can always look back on that we did together (because) I’m usually off doing some-thing on my own.”

Overall, the entertain-ment industry has taught Crews times are constantly changing.

“It’s taught me just to always try new things and to expect the unex-pected,” Crews said. “You just never know; you think you know, but you’ll never be at a point where you’re like ... ‘I got it all figured out.’”

Crews said he’s from a time where cassette tapes were popular, which is a per-fect example of the changing industry.

“You turn around, and (we have) DVDs, and now you get everything downloaded,” Crews said. “I watch almost everything on my iPad or my phone, as opposed to sitting in front of the television.

“The entire industry is always being reinvented, so you’ve got to expect the unexpected.”

“Brooklyn Nine-Nine” premieres tonight at 8:30 on FOX.

SUBmItted By VIckIe trIckettSerge, played by Josh Rocchi, surveys his new masterpiece.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Nina Davuluri isn’t the first Miss America of color. She’s not even the first Asian-American to wear the crown. But her victory has clearly struck a chord in some quarters.

At a news conference held after her name was an-nounced Sunday night, the first question was about a slew of social media users apparently upset that some-one of Indian heritage had won. Some tweets called her Arab and a terrorist.

“I have to rise above that,” said Davuluri, who com-peted as Miss New York. “I always viewed myself as first

and foremost American.”She said she’s delighted

that the nearly century-old pageant sees beauty and tal-ent of all kinds.

“I’m so happy this organi-zation has embraced diver-sity,” she said. “I’m thankful there are children watching at home who can finally re-late to a new Miss America.”

Her pageant platform was “celebrating diversity through cultural compe-tency.” Her talent routine was a Bollywood fusion dance.

Davuluri, a 24-year-old native of Syracuse, N.Y., wants to be a doctor and is applying to medical school, with the help of a $50,000

scholarship she won as part of the pageant title. She’s the second consecutive Miss New York to win the Miss America crown, succeeding Mallory Hagan, who was se-lected in January.

Davuluri’s grandmother said she cried when she saw the news on television.

“I am very, very happy for the girl. It was her dream, and it was fulfilled,” 89-year-old Vege Koteshwaramma said by phone from her home in Vijaywada, in the south-ern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

There are numerous doc-tors in the family, in the U.S. and India, she said, and if her

granddaughter wants to be-come one, “I am sure she will do it.”

Asked about her grand-daughter appearing in a bi-kini, given the conservative attitudes in India, Kotesh-waramma said: “I haven’t seen any such thing. This must be all part of the competition.”

Davuluri is the second Asian-American winner, af-ter Angela Perez-Baraquio, who is of Filipino descent and won in 2001.

She now heads to New York City to prepare for TV talk show appearances and plans to take in Broadway musicals over the next sev-

eral days.On Tuesday, she’ll see

“Pippin.” On Wednesday, she’ll meet former Miss America and fellow Syracuse native Vanessa Williams and see “The Trip To Bountiful,” in which Williams appears.

Williams became the first black Miss America in 1984 but resigned after Penthouse magazine published nude photographs of her.

Monday morning, Da-vuluri took the traditional ocean frolic dip in the surf in front of Boardwalk Hall, where she won the title hours earlier. The pageant, which originated in Atlantic City in 1921, spent the past six years

in Las Vegas before returning to New Jersey.

“Welcome home, Miss America!” Davuluri said as she stood barefoot in the shallow surf, wearing a lime green Miss America T-shirt and white shorts. “We’re back in Atlantic City.”

Davuluri had planned to go to the scene of a devastat-ing boardwalk fire in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights on Monday afternoon. But pag-eant officials canceled that visit after learning that Gov. Chris Christie was making cabinet officials available at that time to business own-ers victimized by the fire and said Davuluri will visit later.

WVU ground game key to future

successAfter redshirt freshman

Ford Childress threw for over 350 yards in his collegiate de-but Saturday, his performance became the overwhelming fo-cus of postgame breakdowns and interviews.

Head coach Dana Hol-gorsen fielded question after question about his new signal caller, yet not a single inquiry about West Virginia’s rush-ing performance was even offered, despite the fact the Mountaineers easily posted a new season-high of 245 rush-ing yards.

It’s not completely surpris-ing, as more attention is natu-rally placed on a team’s quar-terback and the passing game, especially within Holgorsen’s “Air Raid” offensive style.

But it’s also certainly worth noting that West Virginia’s rushing game has been ab-solutely rock solid through three games this season and will provide some real consis-tency for the offense as WVU inches closer and closer to the end of the its nonconference schedule.

Redshirt senior and Hous-ton transfer Charles Sims has been as good as advertised, av-eraging 5.6 yards per carry and just under 100 yards per game. However you look at it, Sims will be the top draft pick out of West Virginia this season, and that’s all there is to it.

Not only is he an extremely polished runner who can make opposing defenders miss, but Sims has demon-strated he can also be a receiv-ing threat out of the backfield. If the Mountaineers can con-tinue to get him at least 20 or more touches in a game, their offense will undoubtedly reap the benefits.

West Virginia’s rushing at-tack is deep this season, and Sims is certainly not the only running back who has shown an aptitude to contribute so far.

Junior tailback Dreamius Smith, a junior college transfer, has been even more efficient at gaining yards than Sims.

Smith had an impres-sive 75-yard touchdown run against the Sooners in Week 2 and posted notable totals again last weekend against Georgia State. Smith rushed 12 times for 60 yards and his second rushing touchdown in as many weeks. On the season, Smith has averaged 6.6 yards per carry (best among all WVU running backs) and nearly 60 yards per contest.

Smith has also been a great complement to Sims’ running style. Sims is a smooth and quick back, relying on sharp, fast and shifty cuts to get him-self free. Smith is much more of a power, downhill rusher who’s willing to run right through opposing defensive personnel.

For most programs, two im-pressive backs who comple-ment each other the way Sims and Smith do is likely more than enough. But this year in Morgantown, the Moun-taineers even have a third rusher, true freshman Wen-dell Smallwood.

Smallwood hasn’t had the same number of touches as Sims or Smith, but his effi-ciency has been just as good. The freshman has averaged 6.4 yards per carry this year. Smallwood has also found the end zone once, meaning five of West Virginia’s touchdowns have come from the ground this season instead of just four through the air.

Regardless of how comfort-able Childress looked in his college debut, there are go-ing to be some growing pains heading forward. Perhaps this will be evident as early as this coming weekend when the redshirt freshman gets his first road start in an NFL venue against an undefeated Mary-land team.

With WVU’s steady rush-ing attack this year, it should be able to survive the rough patches all season by keeping the ball on the ground and in the hands of its very capable backs.

DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER FRESHMEN CONNECTION

CORY DOBSON/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMWide receiver Daikiel Shorts evades a defender during West Virginia’s game against Georgia State. Shorts caught his first two collegiate touchdowns from redshirt freshman quarterback Ford Childress Saturday.

Freshmen Ford Childress and Daikiel Shorts establish dynamic connection against Georgia Stateby GreG mADiAmulTImEdIa EdITOR

With West Virginia leading 34-7 in the fourth quarter Sat-urday against Georgia State, the WVU offense faced a third and 12 after a penalty from its own 24-yard line.

Freshman quarterback Ford Childress was enjoying his three-touchdown day as was head coach Dana Hol-gorsen, watching his young quarterback have success in first career game. Offensive coordinator Shannon Daw-son even called another pass play to get Childress some more game reps.

Georgia State brought an extra rusher, and Childress was forced to step up and

make a throw. On the pass, Childress got crushed by a Panther defender, but as the ball flew through the air, fel-low freshman and receiver Daikiel Shorts was running a perfect route down the seam.

Shorts made a great catch for a gain of 26 yards after he took a hit, showing Chil-dress, Holgorsen and Daw-son he could be the West Vir-ginia quarterback’s partner in crime for the next four years.

“(Shorts) runs great routes. He’s a physical receiver,” Childress said. “He’s a re-ally smart kid, so he always knows how to find the open spot.”

Childress connected with Shorts five times for 88 yards and two touchdowns, includ-

ing both of their first career touchdowns in the first quar-ter on Saturday.

“It was my first college touchdown so it felt great,” Shorts said. “But the coaches had made a great call, Mario (Alford) had gotten the safety to bite, Ford (Childress) threw the ball, and I was able to make a play on it.”

The first start for Childress didn’t mark the first time the Houston native has been able to receive support from Shorts. When Shorts arrived on campus in the spring, the two were able to develop an understanding of when Chil-dress released the ball and where Shorts had to be in or-der to catch it.

“We had pretty good

chemistry from the spring and the summer, so it the made the game pretty good,” Shorts said.

In addition to showing off their skills Saturday, both had to overcome a bit of adversity to be put in position to make plays during the game.

Childress was the third-string quarterback for the first two weeks of the season, while Shorts was dropped from the starting inside re-ceiver to the backup inside receiver just four days prior to the Georgia State matchup.

“At first when I got my reps cut, Shannon (Daw-son) was like ‘You’re going to play this year’,” Childress said. ‘“You can’t goof off, you can’t lose focus’ and I didn’t be-

cause I knew that I was going to play this year, so I acted like (I) was the starter.”

Despite being dropped down the depth chart, Shorts knew he would get in the game as long as he contin-ued working to improve in practice.

“I always try to go out there and work hard in practice, because the coaches put in who they can trust,” Shorts said. “They played me a lot this week.”

WVU’s new dangerous duo will have a much greater test this week as the Moun-taineers travel to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to take on Maryland.

Childress ‘comfortable’by kevin hOOker

SPORTS WRITER

Last week, West Virginia head coach Dana Holger-son surprised the Moun-taineer faithful when he an-nounced redshirt freshman quarterback Ford Childress would start Week 3 against Georgia State.

The 6-foot-5 player was third on the depth chart just last week but was moved up following Paul Mil-lard’s poor performance against Oklahoma.

In his collegiate debut, Childress was 25 of 41 with 359 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Al-though Georgia State is now 1-13 in its last 14 games, the coaching staff liked what they saw from their new starting quarterback.

“It was pretty good for his first college game,” Hol-gerson said following the team’s blowout victory. “I thought he did a good job of just being in the game. And that’s what we’re look-ing for.”

Childress said he won the job on Wednesday.

“I thought it went pretty well,” Childress said. “I had some balls that I would like to take back, but overall I thought we played pretty well.”

Freshman wide receiver Daikiel Shorts caught five balls and scored two touch-downs, after getting no re-ceptions last week with Millard at the helm.

“(Shorts) runs great routes,” Childress said. “He’s a physical receiver and a really smart kid. He always knows how to find the open spot.”

Shorts was one of nine re-ceivers who caught at least one pass.

“We have great depth at receiver,” Childress said. “It’s real easy for me to hit nine different guys.”

While the process has been frustrating for Chil-dress at times, he knew he’d eventually get a chance. He sat behind Geno Smith all last year, which helped his development.

“Last year when I red-shirted, I knew I wasn’t go-ing to play,” he said. “But I

knew I was going to play this year and just acted like I was the starter.”

While Millard has been tabbed a “gunslinger” on this Mountaineer team, it was Childress who took several shots down the field. He often underthrew his receivers, something he says he’ll work on for the future.

“My deep balls need work,” he said. “I tend to underthrow deep balls be-cause I want to give (the re-ceiver) a shot. I just need to let it go, and allow them to get under it.”

Clint Trickett, who was considered a pre-season favorite to take the start-ing role, has only played in two series in three weeks of play. Millard compiled 455 yards, a touchdown and in-terception through the first two weeks.

“If it’s not (Childress’ job going forward) then I’m not very smart,” Holgerson said. “We just have him 100 percent of the reps. But he’s got a lot of potential, and he’ll keep getting bet-ter and better.”

Offensive coordina-tor Shannon Dawson said Childress took the majority of first teams reps in prac-tice, and the decision to start him was early in the week.

“His poise and demeanor were really good today,” he said. “He had a great week of practice; the team rallied around him and he played well in the game. We’re pleased.”

Childress will start his first road game Saturday against Maryland at M&T Bank Stadium.

“I’m still going to work just like when I was a backup,” Childress said. “But now I’m just a little more comfortable.”

VOLLEYBALL

cory dobson/the daily athenaeumThe volleyball team celebrates in the Mountaineer Invitational earlier this season.

BY AMIT BATRA & JON FEHRENS

da staff

The West Virginia Uni-versity volleyball team will take their unbeaten 10-0 record on the road to take on Duquesne in Pitts-burgh today. The match will mark the fifth in five days for the volleyball squad.

The Mountaineers will look for revenge since they lost 3-2 to Duquesne last year in the WVU Coliseum.

“Our match against

Duquesne gives us an-other opportunity to con-tinue to improve as a team. Duquesne is a very fundamentally sound team,” said head coach Jill Kramer.

As WVU comes off an undefeated weekend of action, the Dukes will come into the A.J. Pa-lumbo Center limping back from the Hokie Clas-sic where they dropped all three of their games.

Duquesne’s 4-5 record may not show it, but the Dukes roster is full of tal-

ent that could offer some interesting match-ups.

Middle blockers Ca-leah Wells and Evyn Mc-Coy will have to find a way to slow down Duquesne’s junior middle-hitter Ari-elle Love. Love recorded her season-high 17 kills over the weekend while hitting an efficient .484. Wells and McCoy are cur-rently ranked No. 2 and No. 3 in the Big 12 in hit-ting percentage.

Along with McCoy and Wells, freshman Jordan Anderson ranks No. 3 in

both kills and points. An-derson heads into the match today coming off a career game where she posted her sixth double-double of the season with 17 kills and 15 digs.

Sophomore setter Brit-tany Sample will look to carry her momentum she has gained into today’s match after recording 43 assists and 13 digs against Hampton Saturday.

“We’ve had differ-ent players step up each match, and that’s what it’s going to take to keep

seeing success,” Kramer said. “We need everyone to keep stepping up when necessary; it will be a team effort like always.”

The Mountaineers are coming off a weekend that saw an Eagle Chal-lenge title – accumulating a 3-0 record in Morehead, Ky., over Morehead State, Campbell and Hampton. West Virginia is the only unbeaten team in the Big 12 Conference.

Through 10 games, WVU has swept seven op-ponents while winning 30

sets in the process. WVU leads the Big 12 in

blocks, with a 2.9 blocks per set average. Against Duquesne, the Mountain-eers are 27-18 all-time. Despite last season’s loss, Kramer always enjoys the challenge from the team more than 70 miles to the north.

“We will continue to focus on communicat-ing well in a new environ-ment and playing solid as a unit.”

Ap

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)—The Pac-12 Conference has reprimanded the officials in Saturday night’s game between Wisconsin and Arizona State for their ac-tions in the bizarre closing seconds.

The Pac-12 said the of-ficials did not act with enough urgency or prop-erly handle the end of game situation when Wis-consin quarterback Joel Stave awkwardly took a knee and the clock ran out on the Badgers in the en-suing confusion.

“This was an unusual situation to end the game,” Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said in a state-ment on Monday. “After a thorough review, we have determined that the offi-

cials fell short of the high standard in which Pac-12 games should be man-aged. We will continue to work with all our officials to ensure this type of situ-ation never occurs again.”

The strange finish came after Wisconsin drove to Arizona State’s 13-yard line with 18 seconds left. Trying to set the Badgers up for a game-winning field goal, Stave ran left and tried to take a knee in the middle of the field.

He clipped one of his offensive linemen while trying to go down and plopped the ball onto the yard marker before hop-ping up quickly.

Players from both teams were confused by the play and the Sun Devils dove

on the ball, thinking it was a fumble. Wisconsin lost precious seconds while the Arizona State players were pulled off and a few more when one of the of-ficials held the Badgers at the line of scrimmage be-fore allowing them to snap the ball.

Wisconsin tried to get a play off so it could spike the ball, but ran out of time. Arizona State won 32-30.

The Pac-12 said neither the referee nor anyone on his crew moved with appropriate urgency to clearly communicate that the ball was to be spot-ted so play could resume promptly.

“It doesn’t change the outcome obviously and,

like I said earlier, I don’t expect that,” Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said. “But, it’s accountability and at the end of the day, that’s what we asked for.”

One aspect of the play that seemed to throw ev-eryone off was Stave plant-ing the ball on the field and backing away. One Wisconsin player started to lunge toward the ball af-ter seeing it lying on the ground and Arizona State’s players converged on it as their coaches yelled from the sideline that it was a fumble.

Andersen said Stave did exactly what he was taught to do.

“The idea of him put-ting the ball on the ground is to give the officials the

opportunity to get the ball spotted quicker and cleaner,” Andersen said. “The officials, wher-ever they were, but they weren’t there to turn around and get the ball. That whole process of Joel looking around behind him, walking back there, where am I going to put the ball, how am I going to put the ball, that takes time, that takes valuable seconds and moments.”

Arizona State coach Todd Graham was initially fooled by Stave’s quick kneel-down, believing his knee never hit the ground – the reason he and his staff were yelling at their players to cover the ball.

After watching the play on film, Graham saw that

Stave’s knee did hit the ground and that the way he went down seemed to throw everyone off.

“There’s a human ele-ment to this game,” Gra-ham said. “You win or you lose. We won and let’s move onto the next deal. Obviously, that was a very unusual deal.”

NCAA President Mark Emmert was asked about the final sequence, but said the NCAA only gets involved if there seems to be a systemic problem and not just one blown call.

But even he was sur-prised by the ending.

“I thought that was a re-ally, really weird ending to the game,” he said while in Milwaukee.

It certainly was.

Countrymen Buchanan, Lawrence succeeding for WVU

Kyle Monroe/The Daily aThenaeuMFreshman forward Ashley Lawrence chases down the ball during West Virginia’s loss to Kentucky.

By joe mitChinsports writer

West Virginia women’s soccer freshmen Kadei-sha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence have both quickly found the starting lineup for head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown’s Mountaineers. However, their relation-ship began well before they reached campus as part of a top recruiting class. The two hail from Canada and are just the next up in a long line of Canadian success for WVU women’s soccer.

Buchanan, a Brampton, Ontario native, was the most coveted newcomer to the Mountaineer program this offseason. Her track re-cord is more than impres-sive for just a teenager; Bu-chanan was a member of the Canadian women’s na-tional team before she ever played one second of col-lege soccer in America.

Perhaps her biggest mo-ment came last summer when she was in the start-ing lineup in an exhibition against Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan and Team USA. Buchanan has trea-sured her time with the na-tional team so far and said

she’s taken a lot with her from them to Morgantown.

“The most experience I wanted to bring here was my leadership,” Buchanan said. “On the (Canadian) women’s team, I feel like every individual is a leader. So I tried to learn from them and bring that to this team.”

For Lawrence, a native of Toronto, soccer began as family fun. Her brother played, so Lawrence’s par-ents enrolled her on a team at age five. She was in-stantly successful and her talent didn’t go unnoticed.

Lawrence started play-ing with the Canadian U-17 team at the age of 15 and was later named the Cana-dian Player of the Year in both 2011 and 2012. She said getting a chance to play for her country was a dream come true.

“Getting the opportu-nity was amazing,” Law-rence said. “Training at the highest level with top-class players was just unforgetta-ble and I learned a lot.”

Lawrence quickly ad-vanced to the full national team level with Buchanan. This wasn’t the first time they had played together, however. Buchanan and

Lawrence met at the age of 10 through youth soccer and later played three sea-sons together at Cardinal Leger Secondary School. The two came to West Vir-ginia together and have al-ready made an impact with their new team.

In a recent match against defending national cham-pion North Carolina, Tar Heels head coach and for-mer U.S. Women’s Na-tional Team coach Anson Dorrance called Buchanan “the best center back in the country.” Izzo-Brown said she is excited for Law-rence’s play as well.

“She does some really, really good things like pos-sessing the ball and trying to build our attack,” Izzo-Brown said. “I’m really pleased with what Ashley’s doing.”

The Canadian influence isn’t anything new inside the WVU women’s soc-cer program. Buchanan and Lawrence join the likes of 2012 Big 12 Defen-sive Player of the Year Bry McCarthy, 39 career-goal scorer Deana Everett and current teammate Caroline Szwed as Canadian-born Mountaineers.

“When I visited West Vir-ginia, it was just the feeling I got. It couldn’t compare,” Lawrence said. “When I got here, the coaches and play-ers were just so welcoming.”

Buchanan and Law-rence have both played in all eight matches for the Mountaineers this season. Buchanan has started ev-ery game and has been very effective in the young WVU backline. Lawrence has tal-lied two assists and scored her first collegiate goal over Eastern Kentucky Friday.

The Mountaineers return to action this Friday night at Dick Dlesk Soccer Sta-dium against Richmond.

Bennett stepping up to lead for WVU

By keVin hookersports writer

If the West Virginia men’s soccer team wants contin-ued success this season, it must rely on defensive sup-port from their plethora of young players.

The Mountaineers, cur-rently standing at 3-2-1, lead the Mid-American Conference (MAC) with 12 goals. Junior Andy Bevin leads the Mountaineers with four goals and three assists. Defensively, how-ever, the Mountaineers are loaded with underclass-men, which perhaps ex-plains why the defense gives up nearly two goals per con-test. Through six games, the Mountaineer defense has given up 11 goals, ranking them No. 5 in the MAC.

Sophomore Haydon Bennett is one of six under-classmen defenders for the Mountaineers. Last year, Bennett started 12 games, logged 1,200 minutes and helped the defense secure five shutouts. Hailing from Chesterfield, Va., Bennett said playing at WVU has been a dream come true.

“I’ve been a huge fan of WVU my entire life,” Ben-nett said. “I’ve been com-ing to football games since I was 8 or 9 years old. The atmosphere and fans are

awesome.”Prior to enrolling at West

Virginia, Bennett played four seasons for Ihor Dotsenko of the Richmond Kickers Academy, where he started 21 matches in his last sea-son. He was also a four-year starter and three-year cap-tain for Clover High School, where he was a member of the All-Central Region Sec-ond Team in 2011.

Considering the lack of veteran leadership on the Mountaineers, Bennett said one of his goals this season is to take on more of a vo-cal role.

“We’re a really young team this year, so being a sophomore, I’m one of the older guys playing,” he said. “Our back line is made up of sophomores and freshmen. This year I’m taking on more of a bigger role and bigger responsibility. I’m look-ing forward to leading the younger guys and commu-nicating more.”

Since he’s a defender, Bennett’s presence doesn’t always show up in the box score. However, he plays nearly every minute of ev-ery game, including 103 minutes in their 5-4 double overtime victory against No. 1 Indiana.

“That was a game you dream of playing in,” Ben-nett said. “We were fatigued,

but we kept fighting. We kept knocking at the door and fi-nally got that goal (in over-time). Celebrating in front of their fans was awesome.”

The Mountaineers are coming off their inaugural season in the MAC, a confer-ence considered weaker for college soccer in compari-son to other leagues in the nation. West Virginia failed to make the NCAA Tourna-ment last season, and Ben-nett understands the impor-tance of team chemistry for success in 2013.

“This year we’re a really close-knit group,” Bennett said. “I love all the guys on my team. We’re brothers basically; we’re a family. We see each other everyday, so that’s what drives me to keep playing.”

Despite their youth, the Mountaineers were voted to finish No. 2 in the pre-season MAC poll. With high expectations and lots of season left to be played, Bennett knows this team is capable of anything.

“(The Indiana victory) showed that we can play with the best teams in the country,” he said. “Hope-fully we can continue to win big games and use that momentum throughout the season.”
