Bell ringing honors former studentBy ShelBy ToompaS

staff writer

West Virginia Univer-sity held a bell ringing cer-emony Friday at Oglebay Plaza in WVU’s Downtown Campus, to honor and re-member a former student.

West Virginia Universi-ty’s Alpha Phi Omega ser-vice fraternity and the Office of Student life teamed to-gether to recognize former

student Jacob Orem who passed away Dec. 1, 2012.

Travis Day, a brother of Alpha Phi Omega and bell-ringing coordinator said the ceremony takes place fol-lowing the death of a stu-dent and it has been taking place for approximately 20 years.

“The bell is rung three times in remembrance of the student(s) after the Woodburn Hall clock strikes

noon,” Day said. Orem, 20, transferred to

WVU this past fall as a junior to study nursing.

“It’s a very sad time, but we do this to comfort and show the families that WVU supports them and we’re here if they need anything,” Day said.

After each bell-ringing service, the student’s family is invited to Hatfield’s in the Mountainlair on the Down-

town Campus for lunch, he said.

Kim Mosby, senior asso-ciate dean of Student Life, said Student Life prepares the remarks and coordi-nates with the President’s office to prepare and pres-ent a certificate in honor of the student.

“Unfortunately, there have been years where we’ve lost 16 or so stu-dents, but once we find out

we have lost a student, we hold it the following Friday at noon after the family has had time to do their service,” Mosby said.

Student Life notifies the student faculty immediately after finding out about a stu-dent’s death.

“When we find out that we’ve lost a student, we call the families immediately to offer our condolences and to find out if there is any-

thing we can do to assist them,” Mosby said. “It’s al-ways a somber and difficult time at the University’s bell ringing ceremonies, but the families appreciate it, and it gives the faculty and friends an opportunity to get to-gether to remember and share memories.”

Mosby said she believes the bell ringing ceremony is

pRT, buses link students,

At West Virginia Univer-sity, getting around to three campuses may seem im-possible, but with the help of WVU’s Department of Transportation and Park-ing Systems, it can be a less daunting task than expected.

The Department of Transporation and Park-ing Systems provides on-campus parking, operates shuttle services for persons with mobility impairments, charters a bus service to and around campus and oper-ates the unique Personal Rapid Transit system, bet-ter known as the PRT.

Hugh Kierig, director of Transportation and Park-ing, said the University op-erates around 8,500 parking spaces, but the PRT is the most common form of on-

campus travel among stu-dents because it carries the most people.

“The PRT started service in 1975 as a demonstration of a new transportation con-cept that was promoted by the transportation industry,” Kierig said. “No one else in the United States has a PRT system.”

Additionally, the WE GO! Program promotes alterna-tive transportation methods through the Mountain Line bus system, the PRT, Zip-cars, carpooling, walking and riding a bicycle.

“Though we can’t meet every need for every stu-dent, we try and maxi-mize the service to provide the greatest efficiency over cost,” he said.

On campus, short-term parking is one dollar per hour, except for in the

WVUp All Night returns for semesterBy KaiTy WilSon

staff writer

This weekend, WVUp All Night transformed the Mountainlair into a winter wonderland.

Friday and Saturday night, the weekly program featured ice skating, snow globes and warm winter-themed food.

Up All Night strives to provide West Virginia Uni-versity students with a safe and fun place to gather on the weekends.

A faux ice rink was spon-sored by Spintacular En-tertainment. The rink was

composed of synthetic ice, and it can be skated on any time of the year, indoors or outside.

Spintacular Entertain-ment also provided skates and music for the students to skate to.

Also featured at the ice rink were members of the WVU Figure Skating Club. The four present members of the club were the first to take to the ice, which they said was much different than what they were used to.

“It doesn’t feel at all like real ice,” said Angela Kreger, graduate student and fig-ure skater.

Kreger has been skating for 17 years, but the dissim-ilar feel of the synthetic ice was still a bit of a shock to her, she said.

“Skating is not something you can just pick up,” Kre-ger said. “Like any other sport, you have to work and practice.”

The girls circled the ice helping new skaters find their footing and attempt to feel as graceful as a profes-sional figure skater.

Novice skaters Collin Brown and Matt Adams joined the girls on the ice Friday night.

“I just had fun making a

fool of myself,” Brown said.The figure skating club

will compete as a team in March at the University of Delaware. They also per-form at intermissions of WVU hockey games and coach younger children at the ice rink in Morgantown.

In addition to ice skating, Up All Night also served winter-themed food, in-cluding chicken noodle soup and nachos.

In the Vandalia Lounge, students were able to have their pictures taken to use in handmade snow globes

CBC hosts ball to celebrate presidential inauguration, legacy of MLKBy BRyan BUmgaRDneR

associate city editor

To celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the inauguration of President Barack Obama, the West Virginia University Center for Black Culture and Research hosted its Presidential Inaugural Ball Monday night.

To candlelight and live music, members of the WVU community gathered to celebrate Obama’s inauguration which had taken place earlier in the day.

“I voted for Obama, so I wanted to come give support,” said Jamie Affinito, a senior nursing stu-dent. “To have elected a black president really shows how far we’ve come. What’s stopping us from going further?”

Director of the CBCR Marjorie Fuller recognized the connection between Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the inauguration.

As the last residents in the area finish relocating, West Virginia University is preparing to begin con-struction on a new dormi-tory in Sunnyside.

Following the purchase of land in Sunnyside last October, WVU announced plans to build a new res-idential complex in the area.

More than 120 individu-als, mostly students, lived on the property at the time. Now, thanks in part to the efforts of the University, only a handful remain.

Construction is set to be-gin in late January.

Following the purchase, WVU officials pledged to help individuals displaced by the project by offering compensation and assis-tance with relocating.

Although the announce-ment was originally met with concern, WVU Direc-tor of Housing Corey Far-ris said residents have been friendly and cooperative.

“We knew it was going to be an inconvenience,” he said. “We wanted to make this easy and pain-less. Whatever we could do, we did it.”

Farris said WVU hous-ing staff met with residents and helped them search

for housing, and they of-ten took down specific re-quests and called around town.

“This was going to be about personally helping the students. Whatever they told us they wanted, we would do it for them,” he said. “It was the right thing to do.”

Most of the residents have relocated to off-cam-pus areas, opening the property for construction.

The development, known officially as “Uni-versity Place,” will house around 850 residents. A sports restaurant, grocery store, coffee shop and Uni-versity Police substation are planned to be part of the complex as well.

The dorm is being built to help expand WVU’s housing space – in the past, all the dorms have reached full capacity.

“For the past five years, we’ve been turning people away, and that bothers us,” Farris said.

University Place will also offer services new to WVU dorms.

“It will set the tone for what you see in WVU stu-dent housing for many years,” said Brian Helmick of Paradigm Development

a crucial piece to celebrat-ing the Mountaineer family.

“This is an important cer-emony to WVU, because it makes individuals realize they are not just a number here, and we want to me-morialize all of the students even if we do not know he or she personally,” she said. “To us, losing a student is like losing a member of the family.”

After each student has been remembered and cer-tificates have been pre-sented, APO gives each fam-ily member a plaque. At that time, family, friends or other individuals have the oppor-

tunity to speak on behalf of their loved one.

This event is one that both Alpha Phi Omega and the Office of Student Life said they hope to continue at WVU.

“I think this will be con-tinued at WVU for a long time,” Day said. “It’s impor-tant because it definitely shows, once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer and gives us a chance to talk to the families and learn more about them and their loved one.”

Time to act, obama declares, taking oath 2nd time

apPresident Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama wave as they walk down Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House during the 57th Presidential Inauguration parade Monday.

WasHINGTON (aP) — Turning the page on years of war and recession, Pres-ident Barack Obama sum-moned a divided nation Monday to act with “passion and dedication” to broaden equality and prosperity at home, nurture democracy around the world and com-bat global warming as he embarked on a second term before a vast and cheering crowd that spilled down the historic National Mall.

“America’s possibilities are limitless, for we pos-sess all the qualities that this world without bound-aries demands,” the 44th president declared in a sec-ond inaugural address that broke new ground by as-signing gay rights a prom-inent place in the wider struggle for equality for all.

In a unity plea to poli-ticians and the nation at large, he called for “col-

lective action” to confront challenges and said, “Prog-ress does not compel us to settle centuries-long de-bates about the role of gov-ernment for all time – but it does require us to act in our time.”

Elected four years ago as America’s first black presi-dent, Obama spoke from specially constructed flag-bedecked stands outside the Capitol after reciting oath of office that all presi-dents have uttered since the nation’s founding.

The events highlighted a day replete with all the fan-fare that a security-minded capital could muster – from white-gloved Marine trum-peters who heralded the ar-rival of dignitaries on the inaugural stands to the mid-winter orange flowers that graced the tables at a tradi-tional lunch with lawmak-ers inside the Capitol.

The weather was rela-tively warm, in the mid-40s, and while the crowd was not as large as on Inauguration Day four years ago, it was es-timated at up to 1 million.

Big enough that he turned around as he was leaving the inaugural stands to sa-vor the view one final time.

“I’m not going to see this again,” said the man whose political career has been meteoric – from the Illinois Legislature to the U.S. Sen-ate and the White House before marking his 48th birthday.

On a day of renewal for democracy, everyone seemed to have an opinion, and many seemed eager to share it.

“I’m just thankful that we’ve got another four years of democracy that everyone can grow in,” said Wilbur Cole, 52, a postman from suburban Memphis, Tenn.,

who spent part of the day visiting the civil rights mu-seum there at the site where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

The inauguration this year shared the day with King’s birthday holiday, and the president used a Bible that had belonged to the civil rights leader for the swearing-in, along with a second one that been Abra-ham Lincoln’s. The presi-dent also paused inside the Capitol Rotunda to gaze at a dark bronze statue of King.

Others watching at a dis-tance were less upbeat than Cole. Frank Pinto, 62, and an unemployed construc-tion contractor, took in the inaugural events on tele-vision at a bar in Hartford, Conn. He said because of the president’s policies, “My grandkids will be in debt and their kids will be in debt.”

The tone was less overtly political in the nation’s cap-ital, where bipartisanship was on the menu in the speechmaking and at the congressional lunch.

“Congratulations and Godspeed,” House Speaker John Boehner, a Repub-lican, said to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as he presented them with flags that had flown atop the Capitol.

Outside, the Inaugural Parade took shape, a reflec-tion of American musical-ity and diversity that fea-tured military units, bands, floats, the Chinese Amer-ican Community Center Folk Dance Troupe from Hockessin, Del., and the Isiserettes Drill & Drum Corps from Des Moines, Iowa.

The crowds were several rows deep along parts of the route, and security was in-

tense. More than a dozen vehicles flanked the presi-dent’s limousine as it rolled down Pennsylvania Avenue, and several agents walked alongside on foot.

As recent predecessors have, the president emerged from his car and walked sev-eral blocks on foot. His wife, Michelle, was with him, and the two held hands while acknowledging the cheers from well-wishers during two separate strolls along the route.

A short time later, ac-companied by their chil-dren and the vice president and his family, the first cou-ple settled in to view the pa-rade from a reviewing stand built in front of the White House.

A pair of nighttime inau-gural balls completed the official proceedings, with a guest line running into the tens of thousands.

Mountainlair, where it is $1.25.

However, students can bypass paying for transpor-tation by riding the PRT and the Mountain Line for free via a valid Student ID.

Maria Smith, mar-keting officer for the Mountain Line Transit, said in 1996, the City of Morgantown and the Monongalia County com-bined public transportation services and created the Monongalia County Urban Mass Transit Authority.

“The Mountain Line Bus routes are a combina-tion of the routes that the city and county used to run, current demand and current subsidies,” Smith said. “It’s a public transpor-tation system and is avail-able to everyone – including all residents and visitors of Morgantown and Mononga-lia County.”

Non-students pay a $0.75 fare per trip on the Moun-tain Line Local Route or can obtain 15-30 day passes at the downtown depot.

“Some of our buses run until 3 a.m., including routes Rt 1 Campus PM and Rt 30 West Run,” she said. “How-ever, for the earliest bus routes at the start of the day, some of our routes start at 6 a.m.”

The Mountain Line Bus Transit Rt 1 Campus PM bus runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m.-3 a.m.

“It travels between Tow-ers and Downtown and is convenient for students who want to go downtown on the weekend evenings,” she said.

Jessica Trickett, a junior elementary education stu-dent, said she has been rid-ing the Mountain Line Bus for two and a half years.

“I lived in the dorms my freshman year, but now that I live off campus, the Moun-tain Line bus is very reliable and takes me to class,” she said. “The bus is also reliable if I go out downtown on the weekends.”

“Being an education ma-jor, I have a lot of classes on the Evansdale campus, and the bus is very reliable to take me there,” Trickett said. “I would definitely rec-

ommend that freshmen or any new student on campus would ride the bus or take the PRT before driving their own car.”

The Mountain Line’s rid-ership for the year 2012 was 1,291,904, and our 2012 WVU ridership was 919, 979.

WVU’s Department of Transportation and Park-ing, as well as the Mountain Line Bus Transit, continues to improve on the accessi-bility and reliability for its students.

In the event of a PRT closing, the Mountain Line buses see an increased amount of traffic and adjust routes to incorporate those who may be affected by its closing.

“When the PRT is down, our buses do become more packed than usual,” Smith said. “If we happen to have a driver who is on break during a PRT breakdown, we will send him out to add another trip to the Blue and Gold Line in order to allevi-ate some of the ridership.”

Smith said each bus driver goes through a vari-ety of training exercises to ensure readiness for any problems that might occur on the bus.

“There are approximately 40 drivers, and they all re-ceive sensitivity training to handle any type of situation where a rider may need as-sistance with riding the bus,” Smith said.

As far as the PRT and other transportation and parking systems on campus, Kierig said the University has spent more than $20 million in the past three years on a new on-board computer system, and will be bid-ding on a new automated train control system for the PRT.

New parking meters that take credit cards have been installed in the Mountainlair garage and in short-term Area 9 on the Evansdale campus.

“If anything, the trans-portation and parking here at WVU is better than it was five years ago,” Kierig said.

“I am really happy that, on one day, we are able to celebrate the lives of these two men,” she said.

She talked about King predicting the eventuality of Obama’s presidency.

“(King) said 40 years from the time he made his speech, there would be an African-American president in this country,” she said.

“Almost to the moment it happened – but I don’t think even he imagined we would be going for a second term.”

To commemorate King’s contribution to civil rights, the student organizations Academic STARS, NAACP and Alpha Phi Alpha Fra-ternity Inc. presented “A Tribute to the Past and the

Present,” consisting of inter-pretive dance and spoken word poetry.

Hubb’s Groove, a band from Cleveland, performed live jazz and soul at the event.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day became an official hol-iday on Nov. 2 ,1983 and is observed on the third Mon-day of January each year, a date near King’s birthday. However, it was not officially observed in all 50 states un-til 2000.

To honor his memory, the CBCR is hosting the twenty-second annual Martin Lu-ther King, Jr. Achievement Award and scholarship, two awards available to students from West Virginia.

He said he believes

this project will be a point of pride for the WVU community.

“Urban development is inevitable, and to know that we’ve secured a site with this proximity to campus is tremendous for the Uni-versity, the students, the city and Mon county as a whole,” he said.

Moscow to start evacuating Russians from Syria

ApFree Syrian Army fighters hold their weapons during heavy clashes with government forces in Aleppo, Syria, Sunday.

BEIRUT (AP) — Russia said Monday it is sending two planes to Lebanon to start evacuating its citizens from Syria, the strongest sign yet that President Bashar Assad’s most important in-ternational ally has serious doubts about his ability to cling to power.

The Russian announce-ment came as anti-govern-ment activists reported vi-olence around the country, including air raids on the town of Beit Sahm near Da-mascus International Air-port, just south of the capital.

Russian officials said about 100 of the tens of thou-sands of Russian nationals in the country will be taken out overland to Lebanon and flown home from there, presumably because re-newed fighting near the air-port in Damascus has made it too dangerous for the for-eigners to use that route out of the Syrian capital.

Assad has dismissed calls that he step down. He has proposed a national recon-ciliation conference, elec-tions and a new constitution, but the opposition insists he play no role in a resolu-tion to the conflict. The U.N. says more than 60,000 peo-ple have died in the civil war since March 2011.

Russia has been Assad’s main ally since the conflict began, using its veto power in the U.N. Security Council to shield Damascus from in-ternational sanctions.

Russia recently started to distance itself from the Syrian ruler, signaling that it is resigned to him losing power. Russian President Vladimir Putin said last month that he understands Syria needs change and that he was not protecting Assad.

Russian officials say the evacuation of thousands of its citizens from Syria – many of them Russian

women married to Syrians – could be by both air and sea.

A squadron of Russian Navy ships currently is in the Mediterranean for a planned exercise near Syr-ian shores later this month. Military officials earlier said that the exercise will sim-ulate marines landing and taking people on board from the shore.

Earlier this month, Lakh-dar Brahimi, who is the joint U.N.-Arab League en-voy for Syria, said that Rus-sia seemed as determined as the United States to end Syria’s civil war, but that he didn’t expect a political so-lution to emerge anytime soon.

The Arab League chief said Monday that Brahimi’s mission had not yielded even a “flicker of hope.”

In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Nabil Elaraby proposed that the heads of state gathered there at an economic sum-

mit call for an immediate meeting of the U.N. Security Council. He suggested the security council adopt a res-olution calling for a cease-fire in Syria and establish a monitoring force to ensure compliance.

Syria’s defense minister said Monday that the army would keep chasing rebels all over the country “until it achieves victory and thwarts the conspiracy that Syria is being subjected to.”

Gen. Fahd Jassem al-Freij’s comments came as activists reported air raids and shelling around the nation.

Monday’s fighting in-cluded a helicopter raid in the northeastern town of Tabqa that killed eight peo-ple, according to the Brit-ain-based Syrian Observa-tory for Human Rights.

The Observatory also re-ported a car bombing in the Damascus neighborhood of

Dummar and said another car bomb exploded late Monday in central Syria, kill-ing at least 30 pro-govern-ment gunmen in Salamiyeh.

In addition, the group said there were clashes in the town of Ras al-Ayn near the border with Turkey be-tween fighters from the Kurdish Democratic Union Party, or PYD, which leans in favor of Syria’s government and anti-government reb-els, who entered the town in November.

Tensions have flared be-tween Syria and Turkey af-ter shells fired from Syria landed on the Turkish side of the border. As a result, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States de-cided to send two batteries of Patriot air defense mis-siles each to protect Turkey, their NATO ally.

On Monday, German sol-diers unloaded trucks carry-ing the missile systems at the

port of Iskenderun, while another ship, carrying the Dutch shipment, waited its turn anchored at the harbor.

The U.N. said that there are an estimated 4 million people were in urgent need of humanitarian assistance in Syria, including at least 2 million who are internally displaced. With harsh winter conditions, people are fac-ing heavy rains and sub-zero temperatures, often without adequate food, shelter, wa-ter or access to medical care.

The McClatchy news or-ganization published a re-port Monday supporting activists’ claim that Syrian forces have been targeting bakeries. According to data compiled by the news orga-nization, government forces attacked bread lines and bakeries at least 80 times last year, causing hundreds of casualties and in most cases destroying the bakeries.

Inside job, two Canadian militants in Algeria siege

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — The hostage-taking at a re-mote Algerian gas plant was carried out by 30 militants from across the northern swath of Africa and two from Canada, authorities said. The militants, who wore mil-itary uniforms and knew the layout, included explosives experts who rigged it with bombs and a leader whose final order was to kill all the captives.

The operation also had help with inside knowledge – a former driver at the plant, Algeria’s prime minister said Monday.

In all, 38 workers and 29 militants died, the Al-gerian prime minister said Monday, offering the gov-ernment’s first detailed ac-count of four days of chaos that ended with a bloody military raid he defended as the only way possible to end the standoff. Five foreigners are still missing.

“You may have heard the last words of the terrorist chief,” Algerian Prime Min-ister Abdelmalek Sellal told reporters. “He gave the or-der for all the foreigners to be killed, so there was a mass execution, many hos-tages were killed by a bullet to the head.”

Monday’s account offered the first Algerian govern-

ment narrative of the stand-off, from the moment of the attempted bus hijacking on Wednesday to the moment when the attackers prepared Saturday to detonate bombs across the sprawling com-plex. That’s when Algerian special forces moved in for the second and final time.

All but one of the dead victims – an Algerian secu-rity guard – were foreigners. The dead hostages included seven Japanese workers, six Filipinos, three energy work-ers each from the U.S. and Britain, two from Romania and one worker from France.

The prime minister said three attackers were cap-tured but did not specify their nationalities or their conditions or say where they were being held.

He said the Islamists in-cluded a former driver at the complex from Niger and that the militants “knew the fa-cility’s layout by heart.” The vast complex is deep in the Sahara, 800 miles (1,300 miles) south of Algiers, with a network of roads and walkways for the hun-dreds of workers who keep it running.

The attackers wore mili-tary uniforms, according to state television, bolstering similar accounts by former hostages that the attackers

didn’t just shoot their way in.

“Our attention was drawn by a car. It was at the gate heading toward the produc-tion facility. Four attackers stepped out of a car that had flashing lights on top of it,” one of the former hostages, Liviu Floria, a 45-year-old mechanic from Romania, told The Associated Press.

The militants had said during the standoff that their band included peo-ple from Canada, and hos-tages who had escaped re-called hearing at least one of the militants speaking Eng-lish with a North American accent.

In addition to the Cana-dians, the Algerian prime minister said, the militant cell included men from Egypt, Mali, Niger, Maurita-nia and Tunisia, as well as three Algerians.

It was the first day of fi-nals week.

The good students had come prepared to ace their exams. Most of the others had likely just finished fran-tically cramming, desper-ately hoping their last-min-ute efforts would make the difference. None of them were prepared for the un-speakable horrors that un-folded later that day.

A cloud of apprehension hovered over campus as lec-ture halls were permeated with the scratching sound of pencils feverishly solving math problems, writing per-suasive essays and sketch-ing schematics of buildings and motors.

Suddenly, this sound was replaced with deafen-ing explosions that ripped through several buildings on campus, leaving dozens dead and more than a hun-dred in critical condition. One week ago, this appall-ing tragedy rocked the Uni-versity of Aleppo’s campus in Syria’s largest city.

Of course, this is just the latest in a seemingly endless series of gruesome massa-cres to take place in Syria. As has often been the case with these massacres, it ap-pears that the Aleppo trag-edy was orchestrated by the regime’s Russian-sup-plied warplanes. These are the warplanes responsible

for transforming a tense first day of finals into a harrow-ing scene, unfit for even the most sadistic Hollywood horror film.

The grisly videos and images taken in the after-math – pictures of blood-splattered textbooks sur-rounded by dismembered body parts, including one startling image of a severed hand still tightly clenching a pencil – are made all the more horrifying by the fact that the corpses littered in them are of students.

These were the young men and women who were going to become the engi-neers who would rebuild their country after the war –

the doctors who would treat its refugees, the entrepre-neurs who would revive its economy and the political thinkers who would write its new constitution. Now, they are nothing more than the latest testament to the viciousness of a murderous dictator and the callousness of an international commu-nity that continues to of-fer little more than empty words of condemnation as a genocidal tyrant contin-ues to slaughter his own citizens.

As college students, this incident hits very close to home for us, and we at The Daily Athenaeum offer our sincerest condolences to the

victims and families of those affected by this tragedy. Fur-thermore, we express our unadulterated disgust with the international commu-nity’s continued paralysis when it comes to confront-ing the abhorrent humani-tarian situation in Syria.

If you are similarly ap-palled by the murder of these innocent students, we encourage you to at-tend a candlelight vigil that is being held at 6 p.m. this evening in front of the Mountainlair to honor the memory of those who lost their lives in last Tuesday’s wicked attack.

Conversations concern-ing firearms in America are littered with recycled plati-tudes. Some say, “Guns kill people.” Others say, “Guns don’t kill people; people kill people.” Alex Jones, the ra-dio host who tried to deport Piers Morgan, shouted an-grily, “1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms!”

No matter the phrase, a central tenet seems to inform most dialogue regarding guns: the Second Amend-ment to the Constitution.

According to the Consti-tution, “A well regulated mi-litia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

The interpretation of this amendment has been con-tentious. For many years after the Constitution was ratified, the debate was non-existent. America was still being birthed, went through a painful civil war and was more or less just happy Great Britain decided not to try and take the colonies back for its keeping.

Then, in the late 1970s, the NRA began to get aggressive. The year 1980 brought a gun lover, Ronald Reagan, into the White House, and a Re-publican Senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch, became hell-bent on providing proof that the Second Amendment was intended to provide individ-ual citizens of the United States with the right to own and carry guns. In 2008, a landmark decision in the Su-preme Court case of District of Columbia v. Heller ruled

that the Second Amendment “protects an individual right to possess a firearm uncon-nected with service in a mi-litia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful pur-poses, such as self-defense within the home.”

It has now been well de-cided that it is legal for Americans to own guns, and in some places for them to carry guns in public. While the legality of gun owner-ship has been made some-what decided, the working out of what gun possession means hasn’t been so quick and clean.

The questions being thrown out in the media, in politics and around the din-ner table are hypotheses

like “Should assault weap-ons be banned?”, “Should every school have an armed guard?” “Should every gun purchase require a back-ground check?” “Should there be a limit to how many bullets a gun can hold?” etc. While these are the prag-matic queries necessary in the age of the slow, belliger-ent lawmaking in which we live, maybe they are not the best questions.

Americans have the great-est need to hold the Consti-tution in our hands, to read the Bill of Rights slowly and to come up with better ques-tions to ask. We celebrate our freedoms – which is good, – but Americans need to re-visit the ontology of our free-

doms and evaluate not only the creation of our liberties but also what they mean to-day, not only in our pursuit of happiness but also for the health and good of our entire country and its future.

The Constitution cannot be held in esteem as an infal-lible declaration. It protects many good things America cherishes, but creators of the Constitution could not have envisioned the many ways in which America would progress in these 200 plus years since it was written. The Constitution is a living document.

As well, America isn’t sim-ply a country but an experi-ment. Experiments involve tests, pains and reconsidera-

tions. While the Constitution was a defining step and still persists as a sturdy founda-tion for the freedoms needed to grow and evolve such a vast experiment, we need to start asking better questions.

Questions like “What is healthy?” “What will bene-fit the least among us?” and “How can we protect, pre-serve and progress the self-evident truth that all are cre-ated equal?”

As we navigate heart-wrenching tragedies and consequential difficult de-cisions related to the exis-tence of firearms in Amer-ica, we need to make sure we are asking the best possible questions.

Maybe that looks like a

firm ban on assault weapons – that would be a good place to start. Maybe it involves going back further and ask-ing ourselves why and how Americans are allowed to even have guns and if all of the gun rights so many are pushing for are the most beneficial, healthy pursuits.

We need to admit what we don’t know, especially in the face of soaring homicide rates and guns flying off the shelves. Maybe that means rethinking our view of what the Constitution promises us and how it protects the American experiment. It certainly means we need to reconsider and recommit to our personal and societal re-sponsibilities as Americans.

BORN TODAY This year your self-expression attracts many people, and often inspires them. Your words carry power and energy with them. Your intuition serves you well, and it needs to be listened to. You could re-ceive acknowledgment in your field of choice or achieve a long-term de-sire. You’ve got what it takes! If you are single, you will establish a mean-ingful bond, if that is what you desire. It could occur at any given moment. If you are attached, you’ll romance your sweetie and reinvigorate your bond.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You move with ease through your day. Several associates might start linking you to the unex-pected, as you always present a dif-ferent point of view. Others like brain-storming with you for that reason. Once more you demonstrate that ability. Tonight: Visit with others.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Your impression of a superior could be changing rapidly, as a result of re-cent conversations. Explore this new information further. You treat others with a great deal of compassion. You will go that extra mile with someone you care about. Tonight: Your treat.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You feel your Wheaties. You know you are on top of your game. Be smart, es-pecially in a meeting. Be willing to lis-ten and think through different ideas. You might not like these concepts at first, but know that there might be value in them. Tonight: All smiles.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Much is occurring behind the scenes. You could hear wild stories and won-der where one ends and another be-gins. Frustration builds because you can’t seem to get the full story. Trust that the unknown will become the known. Go with the moment. To-night: Get plenty of R and R.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Zero in on what is important, and do not let an interesting person distract you. You might not be able to help your-self in a meeting, as this person could be there. Try to keep your wits about you rather than have to explain your odd behavior later. Tonight: Where the action is.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Pressure builds, especially if you de-cide to take the lead in a project. You might not be dealing just with a vague person, but also an unpre-dictable financial situation. Use your imagination, especially if you want to make a good impression. Tonight: Ex-pect to be in the lead.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone whom you care a lot about. If you had your choice, what would you do to evoke this person’s attention? Keep that idea on the back burner -- you might need it. You could be surprised at what a positive attitude can bring. Tonight: Relax to music.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH One-on-one relating draws a strong result. You might want to rethink a personal matter in light of new infor-mation that comes up. Good will fol-lows you if you’re financially involved with others. It’s a good day to buy a

lottery ticket, too. Tonight: Be a duo.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH By deferring to others, it implies that you have confidence in them. Allow someone the space to demonstrate what is possible. You might need to screen calls and mes-sages, as so many people seek you out. Plan on special time with a loved one. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Play it easy when dealing with an un-predictable, easily provoked person-ality. You might want to ask yourself why you are trying to work through an issue with this person. Ask for feedback, and you actually might get excellent results. Tonight: Put your feet up.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB.18) HHH YYYY Your creativity flows in an unprec-edented manner. You might wonder what to do with a loved one who could be well-meaning but interrupts a lot. Choose to close your door to complete what you must or give up. Tonight: Be that wild thing that we know lies within.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Stay within your usual parameters; otherwise, you would feel uncom-fortable if you were to break past these boundaries. Let a problem sit. The situation will work itself out soon enough. Avoid taking any financial risks. You will be happier as a result. Tonight: Order in.

Guitar prodigy stuns 123 Pleasant Street

Kyle Monroe/THe DAIly ATHenAeUMGuitarist Stephane Wrembel performs at 123 Pleasant Street Sunday.

by Hunter HomiStek A&E Editor

123 Pleasant Street hosted a sensational and relaxing evening of gypsy jazz perfection, courtesy of French-born guitarist Ste-phane Wrembel Sunday evening.

With a fountain of arpeg-gios and smooth, melodic runs layered on top of driv-ing bass and percussion accents, Wrembel guided the 123 crowd along a path to musical perfection, and the results were stellar.

“We created a first ge-nome, or gene, for what the future shows (in Mor-gantown) are going to be,” Wrembel said. “I feel like we made a very nice con-nection. We were on the same page.”

Wrembel’s performance was made unique by the cyclical nature of the set list.

The band began with a droning, relaxing piece in-spired by the southwestern U.S. desert and progressed into tunes that drew inspi-ration from various events, including the Japanese tsu-nami of 2011, the explora-tions of the Voyager One and two space probes and the apocalypse.

After maneuvering this journey with a master’s precision, Wrembel and his bandmates returned to the desert, where they closed the set and ended the evening’s festivities.

“I like to think of events in terms of cycles,” Wrem-bel said. “Things are born, they leave, and they grow up, and they die. That’s the cycle of life, that’s the rea-son the shows are struc-tured this way.”

In employing such a foundation for his set list, Wrembel’s performance was laced with emotion and power. These were not songs contrived of a scien-tific, formulaic approach – these were songs formed from Wrembel’s passions and experiences.

“I believe that, in the end, we look back on life, and there is a resume of ev-

erything that happened,” Wrembel said. “People say that when they die their whole lives flash in front of their eyes, and I think when we finish the show, the whole show comes back in front of your eyes.”

Wrembel noted an evo-lution in his approach to music to achieve this framework.

“I went through three different cycles,” Wrembel

said. “The first cycle was learning the techniques – as many techniques as I could over 20 years. And then there was a limbo where I did things without knowing anymore why, and now it’s looking in a different direction, more in the unconscious and stories.”

While Wrembel’s story-telling and guitar stylings were certainly phenom-

enal, a total band effort made each song complete. Stand-up bassist Dave Spe-ranza, percussionist Nick Anderson and guitarist Roy Williams provided beauti-ful rhythms and solos of their own, a magnificent change of pace and scen-ery from the mostly guitar-oriented offerings.

In all, Wrembel’s per-formance was truly sen-sational. His style of mu-

sic and level of proficiency as a guitarist and composer is scarcely seen at the re-gional level, and it was a rare honor to catch such an act at 123.

While no date is ce-mented at the moment, Wrembel mentioned his desire to return to the Mountain State in the future.

“Hopefully we’ll get more concerts in more

places in West Virginia,” Wrembel said. “I really like this state; it was my first time crossing it today, and I was very impressed by the beauty of nature.”

Mountain Stage celebrates 30 years at CAC

BY COREY ZINN A&e writer

Mountain Stage kicked off its 30th season with a bang in the West Virginia University Lyell B. Clay Theatre Sunday evening.

The show, which was re-corded in its entirety, will be radio broadcast for the public March 29.

Mountain Stage is a re-nowned West Virginia Public Broadcasting pro-gram based in Charleston, W. Va. The program broad-casts live folk and country music every Sunday at 2 p.m. and reruns Saturdays at 8 p.m.

Though the production is based in Charleston, Mountain Stage performs in Morgantown six times per year.

“This is a West Virginia show, and Morgantown is an important part of the state,” said Larry Groce, Mountain Stage host.

Normally, the show con-sists of five acts, but this time around the number was reduced to four to al-

low more time for each artist.

The night’s lineup con-sisted of Rhett Miller, Shelby Lynne, Black Prai-rie and Robert Earl Keen.

Rhett Miller played folk songs from his new album, “The Dreamer.”

The singer-songwriter belted out songs of love and loss as he strummed swift chords on his acous-tic guitar.

Since 1993, Miller has served as the frontman of the Texas-based roots-rock band, the Old 97’s, but he began his solo career in 2002.

“For years and years, I was just in the band, but I kept having songs pile up that they didn’t like, and it was driving me crazy, so I needed an outlet,” Miller said.

Though this is his second time on Mountain Stage as a soloist, he has also once been on the show with the Old 97’s.

After three solo songs, Miller surprised the crowd by bringing Black Prai-

rie out early to play two songs from Wilco and Billy Bragg’s “Mermaid Ave-nue,” comprised of unused Woody Guthrie lyrics.

Miller ended his act en-ergetically alongside the Mountain Stage house band.

Performing for her third time on Mountain Stage, Shelby Lynne sang songs of sweet wisdom while pluck-ing country-jazz harmo-nies on her acoustic guitar.

“I’m just now getting to where I’m mellowing out a bit,” Lynne said. “I try not to worry about things anymore; I just try to go out there and do what I do best: sing.”

The vivid passion of her verbal and nonverbal lan-guage could have brought tears to any audience member’s eyes.

“I’m emotional about music,” Lynne said. “Song-writers are always trying to say the same thing. My style, if anything, is to put my emotions to song.”

Lynne just released a new album, “Revelation

Road,” which is more re-laxed and beat-derived than her previous work.

The album was released from her label, Everso Re-cords, which she founded with the help of her part-ner, Elizabeth Jordan, in 2010.

Lynne said she plans to add artists other than her-self to the label in the near future.

Mountain Stage first-timers Black Prairie re-ceived a standing ova-tion for their intensity and fascinating display of musicianship.

Based in Portland, Ore., Black Prairie is an avant-garde string band consist-ing mostly of members from indie-folk band The Decemberists.

It may appear as though Black Prairie is a mere side project for this group, but what started out as a fun experiment to utilize more folk instrumentation evolved into an entity of its own.

Much like their other albums, their newest re-

lease, “A Tear in the Eye is a Wound in the Heart,” sports highly original talent and style, blended into a neo-folk gypsy rock sound.

The band has made sev-eral minor changes, which resulted in a firm establish-ment of their sound. These included the addition of drummer John Lowan and a stronger focus on An-nalisa Tornfelt’s soothing vocals.

“We’ve also learned not to be too precocious with a lot of our performances and going for vibe more than perfection,” said Black Prairie member Chris Funk.

Founder of the alterna-tive-country genre, Robert Earl Keen performed with his band for the 10th time at Mountain Stage.

His fun-loving, up-beat country jams had the crowd jumping.

Just like Mountain Stage, Keen has been doing feel-good country and folk for 30 years.

Keen’s new record, “Ready for Confetti,” fol-lows his natural trend, but it breaks his longtime rule of never writing on the road.

Until now, Keen has writ-ten his music in solitude within his “scriptorium.”

“It was kind of an awak-ening,” Keen said. “Be-cause I was sort of in a pinch for time, I felt like I didn’t ever overthink them, but it was surprising how well the songs came out.”

After 30 years of Moun-

tain Stage, artists still praise the West Virginian program.

Black Prairie bass-ist Nate Query was as-tounded by the ease of the performance.

“It’s just super pro, and everybody has this real family vibe,” Query said.

Rhett Miller noted his amazement of the record-ing quality, and he titled Mountain Stage produc-tion crew member Francis Fisher as a “master mixer.”

Larry Groce predicts more successful years to come with Mountain Stage.

“Even though we’re old, we want to keep growing and get a lot more young people involved,” Groce said.

Keen said he respects the format Groce has main-tained for Mountain Stage performances.

“There’s not all this push on one person,” Keen said. “The true star is the music and the performance.”

If you miss your chance to hear Mountain Stage on the radio, you can always check their archives on www.mountainstage.org, but nothing compares to seeing the show live.

“There’s no substitute for live music,” Keen said. “You can listen to the stuff on record, on your iPad, whatever you want to do, but there is a certain thing that live music gives to your heart and your soul that you get nowhere else.”

BOILING OVERHuggins not

to blame for WVU’s struggles

West Virginia is having its worst season in more than a decade.

The Mountaineers have been run out of the gym on multiple occasions, including a 34-point defeat to begin the season against Gonzaga and a 27-point loss at Purdue in their most recent outing.

West Virginia sits at 8-9 and is in dangerous jeopardy of failing to make the NCAA tournament for the first time since veteran head coach Bob Huggins took over in April 2007.

The Mountaineers are cur-rently No. 322 in shooting percentage nationally, lack-ing the talent possessed in re-cent seasons in Morgantown, and much of the blame has been placed on Huggins not recruiting effectively in recent years.

Huggins even said, “I’m going to go recruit, which ob-viously, I need to do,” after his team’s third straight loss Saturday.

But the brunt of the Moun-taineers problems this season isn’t because Huggins hasn’t recruited well.

There are multiple play-ers who Huggins expected to be playing and contribut-ing right now who, for what-ever reason, no longer or never sported a West Virginia uniform.

Let’s start with four-star re-cruit Noah Cottrill.

Cottrill, who also received a scholarship offer from Flor-ida, was expected to be an im-mediate scoring contributor.

But a suspension for vio-lation of team rules led to an unexpected dismissal from the team before even making an appearance on the Coli-seum floor.

He would be a junior for the Mountaineers right now.

Now for David Nyarsuk.The 7-foot-1 native of Su-

dan was also in Cottrill’s 2010 recruiting class.

Nyarsuk failed to qualify academically and was forced to attend Mountain State University for a season.

He is now a role player for No. 21 Cincinnati, averag-ing three points and four re-bounds off the bench in his first season with the Bearcats.

How about Dalton Pepper?

Pepper played in 30 games his freshman season in 2009 – a team which went to the Final Four – and in 32 games his sophomore year before health problems with his family at home forced him to transfer to Temple.

Pepper is now a key-con-tributor in an Owls’ team, which has beaten No. 3 Syra-cuse and almost knocked off second-ranked Kansas on the road.

He would be a senior right now for Huggins.

On to Dan Jennings –Jennings was a three-star

recruit who received offers from Pittsburgh, Arizona and Xavier, among others.

He saw action in his fresh-man and sophomore cam-paigns with the Mountain-eers before he left the bench during a game in 2011 against South Florida and later trans-ferred to Long Beach State.

He’s currently averaging 10 points and seven rebounds a game for the 49ers, including 27 points vs. UCLA, 20 points and seven rebounds against No. 3 Syracuse and 16 points and eight rebounds against No. 7 Ohio State.

Jennings would be a senior for Huggins this season.

Now for Darrious Curry …Curry was only a two-star

recruit, but at 6-foot-7, he had a lot of length and scor-ing ability.

Curry couldn’t medically qualify due to a rare heart condition.

He would be a junior for Huggins’ team right now.

How about Elijah Macon?Macon was a four-star re-

cruit from Huntington Prep and played with current top-recruit Andrew Wiggins.

APWest Virginia head coach Bob Huggins looks on during the WVU men’s basketball team’s loss to Purdue Saturday.

Boilermakers hand West Virginia third-straight loss in blowoutBy Doug Walp

sports writer

If the West Virginia men’s basket-ball team wasn’t in complete panic mode after staggering to its worst start through 16 games in a decade, the direness of the Mountaineers’ situation must have begun to set in Saturday afternoon inside Mackey Arena, as WVU suffered one of its worst losses of the entire year.

West Virginia’s final noncon-ference contest of the season also ended up being its second-worst de-feat of the year, as the Boilermakers (10-8, 3-2) ran over the Mountain-eers (8-9, 1-2) 79-52 in the seventh all-time meeting between the two schools. Purdue has now won six of

seven against West Virginia in the se-ries that dates back to 1961.

“This is not what I’ve built a ca-reer on,” said Bob Huggins, West Vir-ginia’s men’s basketball head coach. “We let them do what they want to do. We let them throw it where they want to throw it. We let them drive it where they want to drive it.

“We just do the most unexplain-able things I’ve ever seen.”

The Boilermakers’ D.J. Byrd, a se-nior forward, scored a game-high 17 points while freshman guard Ra-pheal Davis wasn’t far behind while scoring 16 of his own on 5 of 6 shoot-ing from the field, including a perfect 2 of 2 from behind the arc.

Junior guard Terone Johnson pitched in 11, and sophomore guard

Anthony Johnson netted 12 in 20 minutes off the bench for Purdue, who has now won three consecu-tive games for the second time this season.

Conversely, West Virginia has now dropped three in a row, and its only double-figure scorer, fresh-man guard Eron Harris, scored just 10 points on 2 of 10 shooting Satur-day in his homecoming to the state of Indiana.

As a team the Mountaineers shot just 29 percent from the floor and ended the game with as many field goals (17) as turnovers.

“We took bad shots, and we turned the ball over. We turned it over 11 times in the first half,” Huggins said. “And they were bad turnovers. They

were turnovers that lead to baskets.”The Boilermakers, on the other

hand, had no problem putting the ball in the hoop, especially from long range. Despite averaging just 29 per-cent as a team from behind the arc heading into Saturday’s game, Pur-due made 8 of their 11 three-point attempts, with Byrd and Davis com-bining to go 6 of 8 from deep.

“It was pretty quiet in the locker room,” said Juwan Staten, the Moun-taineers’ starting sophomore guard. “Everybody’s just trying to figure out what went wrong. Coach did a lot of talking. I mean, the reputation that Coach has built over the years with the teams that he’s had, (they) have

always played hard and com-peted. And that’s something

we don’t do as well as his other teams have in the past.”

This inability of WVU’s starters to compete this sea-son has ultimately led Hug-gins to try all sorts of lineup

and personnel variations, and Saturday proved to be another example of this, as sophomore forward Volody-myr Gerun and sophomore guard Aaron Brown, two re-

serves who barely played at all before Saturday, both recorded season-highs in minutes.

Meanwhile, three former West Virginia starters – Deniz Kilicli, Aaric Murray and Ke-aton Miles – combined for just nine points in 20 min-utes off the bench.

The Mountaineers were al-ready faced with a significant uphill battle for any hopes of playing in the NCAA tourna-ment this year before Satur-day’s game with Purdue, but after its ninth loss in 17 games this season, the only way West Virginia will be play-ing in March now will likely be by winning at least 10 of its remaining 14 conference games, which includes con-tests against Iowa State (13-4), Oklahoma (12-4), Baylor (12-5), Oklahoma State (12-4), No. 16 Kansas State (13-2) and two games against No. 4 Kansas (16-1).

That looming conference schedule coupled with the Mountaineers’ current RPI of 86, and BPI (Basketball Power Index) of 105, could mean that even an NIT invite could be a long shot for West Virginia at this point, much to the chagrin of its fans, and to the surprise of its head coach, who has yet to miss an invite to March Madness his first five seasons at the helm of his alma mater.

“Honestly, I didn’t see it coming. I just didn’t see it coming,” Huggins said of his team’s struggles this sea-son. “My seniors have always stepped up. Why? How? I don’t have any idea, but they always have.

“It just hasn’t worked out that way. I just don’t know if we know how to play basketball.”

academically qualify. He’s now at Brewster Academy in New Hampshire and is ex-pected to join the Mountain-eers next season.

He would be a freshman

this year.We could even talk about

players like Ryan Boatright, who originally made a ver-bal commitment to Huggins and is now averaging more than 16 points per game for UConn.

The bottom line is Hug-gins has done exactly what

he’s needed to do in terms of recruiting.

He has attracted high-quality players to Morgan-town, but a combination of bad fortune and whatever else you want to call it has forced Huggins to fill his ros-ter with players he didn’t ex-pect to have, let alone play.

The recruiting world today is a cutthroat business.

And Bob Huggins has what it takes to continue to bring top-tier players to West Virginia and to continue to do what he does best – win games.

TENNIS

WVu falls to no. 57 ohio StateBy roBert kreiS

sports writer

After laying down a foun-dation of players willing to compete at the level coach Tina Samara was looking for, the West Virginia tennis team entered the second phase of its rebuilding pro-cess Saturday. The Moun-taineers faced Ohio State to kick off one of the hardest schedules in women’s col-lege tennis.

Despite the loss, Sa-mara was pleased to see the Mountaineers compete against the No. 57 team in the country.

“We were definitely com-petitive, even if the score might not look like that,” Sa-mara said. “I know that we are a lot better than we have been in the last two years.

The problem that we’re go-ing to face is that our sched-ule is a way tougher sched-ule than it’s ever been.

“In order for us to do what we want with this program, we’ve got to be playing a schedule like this. In order to win, you’ve got to beat good teams.”

One Mountaineer who did win Saturday was fresh-man Hailey Barrett at the No. 3 singles spot; 6-4, 6-2. The convincing victory ex-cites Samara as she prepares to guide Barrett through the program during the next three and a half years.

“I think within the next few years with (Barrett), we’re going to see some really fun tennis,” Samara said. “The bottom line is she has a lot of ability, but what she has more than anything

is desire. “She wants it bad; she

works as hard as anybody. She’s the one that wants to hit extra. She’s the one that wants to do anything to get better, and it’s going to show, and it already is.”

The freshman Barrett shined on the singles court for West Virginia, but it was two seniors who earned the Mountaineers’ only victory on the doubles court. Em-ily Mathis and Audrey Wool-and teamed up to beat Ohio State’s Fidan Manashirova and Gabby Steele 8-5.

Samara was also im-pressed with Wooland’s ef-forts on the singles court, despite coming away with-out a victory.

“Audrey was three points away from winning the match at one,” Samara said.

“Playing the No. 41 player in the country and being three points away from winning is disappointing, but it also shows what she is capable of and the level she is play-ing at.”

Samara is hoping the team as a whole will become more vocal with each other on the tennis courts, which will, in turn, allow them to play more freely.

“We still have to learn to be more vocal. This is col-lege tennis, and that’s part of what makes it so much fun,” Samara said. “We’re a smaller team. You can be loud with less kids, you just have to do it.

“They’ve got to learn to let themselves loose and have a good time.”

By keVin hookersports correspondent

The West Virginia track and field team dominated this weekend at the WVU In-vitational, where they took eight first-place finishes.

Senior Sydney Cummings led the way by posting the second-best high jump in program history with a leap of 1.76 meters.

Junior Chene Townsend took first place in the 60-me-ter dash with a season-best time of 7.77 seconds while also finishing second in the

60-meter hurdles with time of 8.71 seconds.

“I was especially pleased with Chene Townsend,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “This performance marked her best January perfor-mance and sets her up very well for the rest of the season.”

Senior Lindsay Kopen-haver took second place in the pole vault with a season best 3.50 meters.

Junior Sarah Martinelli placed first in the 800-me-ter run with a time of 2:17.26 while junior Arielle Gaither

and senior Hallie Portner finished second and third, respectively.

Three freshman, Christa D’Egidio, Alyssa Scherich, and Peyton Hampson, took top honors in the 500-meter run. Junior Allison Tyree fin-ished fourth.

“For three freshmen to come out and run that hard today has me looking for-ward to next month,” Cleary said.

The Mountaineers also took first-place finishes from freshman Ashanti Bess in the 200-meter dash, se-

nior Lauren Moskal in the 1,000-meter run and senior Alanna Pritts in the weight throw. The 4x400-meter relay team, consisting of D’Egidio, Hampson, Gaither and Tyree, also placed first.

“While we are nowhere near where we need to be for outdoors, we are improving,” Cleary said. “We will simply keep working hard and doing our best to execute in com-petition. We have a long way to go, but I am very happy with our commitment.”

Top-ranked Baylor takes down WVU in Waco

By amiT BaTrasports writer

After falling to top-ranked Baylor Saturday night, the West Virginia women’s basketball team returns home Tuesday night to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders in a pivotal Big 12 Conference matchup.

The Lady Bears (16-1, 6-0 Big 12) defeated the Moun-taineers (11-6, 3-3 Big 12) 76-58 following a domi-nant game from Baylor’s senior Brittney Griner. De-spite Baylor defeating op-ponents on average by 30.1 points this season, WVU was able to keep the game within reach.

In the 10th largest at-tended game in Lady Bears’ history (10,245), Griner dominated from the start. Her 26 points and 15 re-bounds was the 50th dou-ble-double of her career. In fact, she was one block shy of a triple-double with nine blocks.

Griner, who shot 11-of-17 from the field, helped Baylor dominate inside the paint, as they outscored West Virginia 43-26. The Mountaineers had trouble stopping the Lady Bears’

50.9 percent shooting from the field. West Virginia only shot 32.8 percent on the night (21-of-64).

Despite the loss West Virginia was able to hang around with the No. 1 team in the country. It proved to be a great learning experi-ence for head coach Mike Carey and the squad.

“Great atmosphere, great crowd and a great place to play,” he said about the Fer-rell Center in Waco, Texas. “I thought we competed for the most part. We missed a lot of foul shots (41.4 per-cent, 12-for-29). (Brittney) Griner is the best player in the country bar none.”

Baylor’s junior point guard Odyssey Sims added 15 points for the Lady Bears. Leading West Virginia was junior guard Christal Caldwell, who added 25 points, seven rebounds and five steals on 11-for-21 shooting. On the night, the Mountaineers forced 19 Baylor turnovers.

Junior guard Taylor Palmer added 14 points on the night. Sophomore for-ward Crystal Leary matched a career-best 11 rebounds in 15 minutes of action.

“We turned them over

like we felt we could 19 times,” Carey said. “We didn’t get out-rebounded that bad, and we tried not to miss foul shots and limit our turnovers (13), but Brittney (Griner) hit some big shots.

“She just opens up so many more people on the floor that you really wouldn’t have to help off of, but then they become effec-tive and start getting hot.”

As West Virginia returns to Morgantown Tuesday night, a win against Texas Tech could be pivotal in the Big 12 standings.

The Lady Raiders come into Tuesday’s game with a 14-4 record and a 4-2 mark in conference. They are fourth in the Big 12 stand-ings while West Virginia is currently sixth.

Coming off a 70-63 home win against No. 23 Kansas, Texas Tech hopes to come into the WVU Coliseum and earn its third-straight win.

Chynna Brown led the way for the Lady Raiders in their win against the Jay-hawks Saturday night. Her 20 points on 8-of-13 shoot-ing, four assists and four steals paved the way for Texas Tech to earn its 14th

win of the season and the upset over Kansas.

Senior guard Casey Mor-ris is leading Texas Tech with 12.4 points per game. Brown is second on the team in scoring with 10.8 points per game and 4.9 re-bounds per game. She is av-eraging 15.0 points against Big 12 opponents through six games.

The Lady Raiders are shooting the ball well a 41.3 percent shooting mark on the season.

Caldwell and Palmer lead the way in scoring for WVU with 12.9 and 12.2 points per game, respectively. Se-nior center Ayana Dunning is averaging 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds a game.

West Virginia and Texas Tech are two of the most ag-gressive defensive teams in the nation, currently. The Lady Raiders are No. 2 in the country in scoring de-fense – holding opponents to 59.0 points per game. The Mountaineers are right be-hind them at No. 3 – giv-ing up only 59.7 points per contest.

All the action starts at 7 p.m. at the WVU Coliseum.

No. 1 mountaineers defeat GarC foe NebraskaBy roBerT kreis

sports writer

A break that lasted more than two months did not prevent the West Virginia rifle team from continu-ing its winning ways this weekend as it defeated fel-low Great American Rifle Conference foe Nebraska 4,689-4,661.

“It’s always nice to make sure you win the match and keep momentum going,” said head coach Jon Hammond. “It’s nice to get back in the range and get the matches going again.”

With the long hiatus, Hammond expected his team to show some signs of rust, but was confident the experience within the team would prevail.

“For sure there was a lit-tle bit of rust there. I wasn’t worried about it. I almost expected it,” Hammond said. “That’s why you have competition to get back into it. We’re really trying to shoot our best at the end

of the season. “Like anything, nothing

truly replicates a match sit-uation, and I think not hav-ing had that for almost two months for some of them, you just need to get back into that.”

One factor that has led the Mountaineers to a 10-0 record, as well as in Satur-day’s close victory against the Cornhuskers, has been the team’s depth. Satur-day, seven different shoot-ers contributed to the win-ning score.

“Day-to-day and in practice (the team) pushes each other,” Hammond said. “They’re all compet-ing for those team spots just as much as they’re competing against other teams.

“It keeps good competi-tion in the range, in prac-tice, and it allows them to push each other more and more. The depth is really important.”

The Mountaineers have enough depth to be com-petitive with each other,

but there is no doubt, se-nior Petra Zublasing sits at the very top of the West Virginia talent level. Zublasing, who com-peted for her home coun-try of Italy in this sum-mer’s London Olympics, was able to end her home career at WVU with a win Saturday, while posting a 598 score in the air rifle.

“(Petra) had a re-ally good air rifle perfor-mance,” Hammond said. “It was a really solid per-formance; 598 is a top score at any competition.”

After the win over the Cornhuskers, West Vir-ginia is left with only one more match, against rival Kentucky, before enter-ing the post-season tour-naments. Hammond will look for the Mountaineers to continue to focus on themselves as they hit the home stretch.

“We’re really just fo-cusing on ourselves, but it’s important to grind out your own score every match,” Hammond said.

“That’s something that we worked at last year and re-ally tried to emphasize that you do struggle a little bit, and things aren’t going to be smooth sailing all the time in a match, but you have to be able to stay in and put all your focus into

it.“Stay positive, stay calm,

and make the best out of it.”

If the Mountaineers continue to execute like they have, Hammond does not see them losing any momentum.

“Everyone’s pleased to keep our momen-tum going, and we want to keep putting in good performance and fin-ish strong throughout the season.”

T h e We s t V i r-ginia wrestling team hit the mats against No. 2 Oklahoma State and No. 14 Oklahoma last weekend in its first Big 12 dual meets in program history

WVU dropped both matches this past weekend 36-3 and 25-14, respec-tively, to bring its record to 1-5 overall and 0-2 in the Big 12. The last time West Virginia competed against one of the nation’s top wrestling programs in No.1 Penn State, Turnbull didn’t like the effort he saw from his team. Headed into one of the most historic wres-tling venues in the coun-try, everything seemed in place for another repeat performance, but head coach Craig Turnbull saw his team compete harder and take away an experi-ence that will only help them.

“The quality of the op-ponent in Oklahoma State was very similar to Penn State, but our effort was the different this time. There was the added challenge of being at such a prestigious venue. The freshmen and

sophomores got a really good sense of how historic the place was. But there was some very good im-provement,” Turnbull said. “This weekend was a very valuable experience that will only benefit us down the road. The matches Fri-day helped us compete bet-ter Saturday. We are com-ing into the Big 12 with the right values.”

Senior Shane Young struggled in his open-ing match of the week-end, falling to Oklahoma’s Eddie Klimara 3-2. In the 133 pound group, junior Colin Johnston, who has been battling to return to his normal weight, nearly squeezed out a victory but was pinned just seconds before the buzzer.

“Young did not wrestle a good first match. His fo-cus was not there, and he could have came out with a win. With Johnston back at his regular weight, things will get easier for him, but we still couldn’t get a full seven minutes out of him.” Turnbull said.

The one positive consis-tency for the Mountain-eers this season has been the solid wrestling of junior Nathan Pennesi. Pennesi, who was the only wrestler to score a victory against

Penn State, was once again the lone victor against Oklahoma.

“Nathan strives to do ev-erything right. He is a great example of what a goal and workouts can do. It takes a lot of hard work to win matches, and he is get-ting rewarded for that. He is a great example for this young team,” Turnbull said.

The wrestling team had to head into Norman, Okla., Sunday to take on No. 14 Oklahoma. WVU took the experience they gained from taking on the No. 2 team in the country and turned it into a much more competitive match.

Young learned from his mistakes from his previous match and came out with a 5-4 victory over the Soon-ers’ Kyle Garcia. Johnston fell 0-2 on the weekend when he suffered a loss to Cody Brewer.

“These matches were valuable to us. We are go-ing in the right direction. These matches Friday are very winnable but will take a lot of effort,” Pennesi said.

West Virginia will be back in action Friday to take on Rutgers in front of the home crowd in the WVU coliseum.
