The West Virginia Uni-versity Student Govern-ment Association met Wednesday evening and approved six grants.

Five of the grants were for $500 and went to American Kids Inter-national Parents, the WVU ROTC Ranger Chal-lenge, the Model United Nations Club, the WVU Solar House and the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

One grant for $245 went to the newly formed Hospital i t y Club. Of all the schools to set up Turbo Vote, WVU has registered the most voters so far, Gov-ernor Christian Guy announced.

Vice President of Vet-erans of WVU, Dan Alex-ander, spoke during the final open student forum at the meeting about the importance of help-

ing veterans transition when they first arrive on campus.

According to Alexan-der, veterans are fighting a battle to graduate be-cause many cannot fin-ish the course work in the number of semes-ters covered by their benefits.

Alexander says a pe-tition has been created to ensure veterans re-ceive priority registra-tion when registering for classes.

Thus far, it has 1,000 signatures and the goal is 5,000, according to Alexander.

“ Transition is our goal,” Alexander said.

“We want to help them get where they need to be when they first arrive so they can finish before their ben-efits run out.”

Thirty brave men stepped onto a platform in the Mountainlair Wednesday to put their facial hair to the ultimate test.

The men were there to compete in the annual Moun-taineer Beard-Shaving Competition.

Each had his beard shaved off with the hope of it growing back by Oct. 31.

The men will return for judgement Oct. 31 to deter-mine who is scruff enough.

Beards will be judged on quality, length, fullness and overall impressiveness in comparison to the Mountain-eer Mascot’s iconic mane.

Lynnsie Doty, chair of the Beard-Shaving Commit-tee, said she believes having a beard is an integral part in assuming the role as the Mountaineer.

“Our Mountaineer will not be shaving his beard, but essentially, gentlemen are challenging him in the sense of how their beards will compare to his. To see if they

A new West Virginia University organization is working to aid homeless people in the Morgantown area.

E4pWVU, a smaller branch of E4p Morgan-town, is interested in help-ing people who are less for-tunate. Group members go on service trips to Africa to help people in need of ed-ucation, support and love,

in addition to assisting lo-cal homeless people in the Morgantown area.

“E4pWVU endeavors to work with its partners stra-tegically to improve the depth or breadth of pro-grams offered, based on the four Es abbreviated in our name: Economics, Ed-ucation, Environment and Energy,” said Presha Nei-dermeyer, WVU Professor of Accounting and E4p-WVU group adviser.

The group is currently

working in partnership with thae local shelter, The Bartlett House, to assist the homeless in various ways.

“This year, we will work specifically on helping cli-ents at the Bartlett House learn skills that will ben-efit them throughout their lives,” said Miriah Lee, E4pWVU’s president. “For example, we plan on help-ing them with resume writ-ing and interview skills, which they can practice during a mock interview.”

Lee said E4pWVU plans to provide nutrition classes and collect materials the residents need, especially for the upcoming winter months.

“Last year E4pWVU worked to have a cof-fee drive for their cold-weather shelter. We col-lected coffee and hot teas through donations,” she said.

Volunteers involved also receive something from the experience – the price-

less satisfaction of helping others.

“If people weren’t pro-active, we still might have slavery, Nazi Germany may still exist, and women might not have the right to vote,” Lee said. “We are all connected as humans, and I honestly believe that ev-eryone should care about others.”

Aileen George, shel-ter assistant at the Bartlett House, expressed her ap-preciation for the kind ef-

forts of volunteers.“I think it’s positive that

volunteers from E4pWVU are helping residents put together their resumes, be-cause even after college, I had trouble with it. I think what the group plans on doing is great,” George said.

George said she hopes E4pWVU will inspire other organizations to volunteer.

Last week, West Virginia University’s Theta Chi chap-ter of Sigma Kappa launched their RespEKt campaign to raise awareness of the dan-gers and prevalence of haz-ing in any organization – whether it is academic, athletic or Greek life.

Three events were held during the week to advocate ending the hazing culture.

Hoops Against Hazing was a basketball tourna-ment held for fraternities, and information about haz-ing was distributed at the event.

Following the tourna-ment, WVU sororities had an anti-hazing photography contest. The photos showed how different organizations are incorporating their new members into their chapters without hazing.

The third event was a ban-

ner-signing competition in which all members of Greek life signed the banner, sym-bolizing their pledge to stop hazing.

“Hazing causes individ-uals to feel like they aren’t equal to everyone else, and that’s not what Greek life is about,” said Brianna Chin, Sigma Kappa president. “Greek life is about creat-ing a special bond between your brothers or sisters and respecting each other

by carrying out the values that each organization was founded on.”

Morgan Henson, ex-ecutive vice president Sigma Kappa, believes the campaign is good for organizations.

“The RespEKt campaign allows organizations to have fun with new members and make them a part of the group without harassment, teasing or embarrassment,”

As part of Mountaineer Nation Day and Fall Fam-ily Weekend, the Moun-taineer Parents Club and the Mountaineer Maniacs are partnering to celebrate West Virginia University’s first Big 12 road game this weekend.

The Maniacs and Par-ents Club are sponsoring an evening-long event, including a game watch party to cheer on the WVU football team as it takes on Texas Saturday.

“We are very excited to team with the Parents Club for our first watch party as members of the Big 12,” said Mountaineer Maniacs Executive Director Chris Northrup. “Our first Big 12 road game will be one that we will never forget, and there isn’t a better way to spend it than cheering on the Mountaineers with all of your closest friends at the Maniacs and Parents Club watch party.”

At 4 p.m., the Ma-niacs will host a corn-hole tournament on the Mountainlair Green.

Northrup said the event will be a great opportunity

for Mountaineer Maniacs to come together, share their Mountaineer pride and prepare for the game.

Following the corn-hole tournament, the Mountaineer Maniacs and the Parents Club will, for the first time, host a game watch party at 6:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.

Students and parents are encouraged to come together during Fall Fam-ily Weekend to enjoy food, receive giveaways and prizes and to cheer on the Mountaineers.

“I think it’s great. It re-ally adds to the day. It’s al-ready going to be such a historical day, and a big day on the football side of things. But I think to bring your parents and to involve families will be something special,” Northrup said.

Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs Com-munications Sabrina Cave said she was excited for the unique opportunity to team up Fall Family Week-end with the Maniacs.

“It is great to be able to co-host a game-watching party as part of our Fall Family Weekend events

can ‘outgrow’ the Mountain-eer, so to speak,” she said.

“The beard, the buckskin suit, the raccoon hat, the rifle – these are all important parts of what we visualize when we think of the Mountaineer.”

Mountaineer Mascot Jona-than Kimble said he believes the competition is a great way to bring Mountaineer men together for a friendly competition.

“I don’t know of any other campus that brings their men together to shave their beards,” he said. “It’s unique; I love it.

“It’s neat to see them all shave and then come back in four weeks with full beards. I can’t wait to see what some of their techniques are.”

Kimble said he believes the secret to growing the best beard is found in technique.

“I eat a lot of meat,” he said. “Some of (the contes-tants) will take vitamins, use horse mane shampoo and some will shampoo and con-dition their beards two times a day.”

Among the competitors

was junior Nick Skinner, who said the shaving portion was a challenge.

“I usually shave with a five blade, and they gave me a one blade, so my face was bleed-ing for half an hour,” he said.

However, Skinner said a lit-tle bleeding would be worth winning the prize at the end.

“Since my freshman year I wanted to enter into this, plus you can win $100.”

The contestant with the best beard will receive $100. Second place will receive $75 and third place $50.

All three winners will also receive a plaque courtesy of West Run Apartments.

“This is a great way for men here on campus to be lazy for four weeks, not shave and have the chance to win $100,” Kimble said. “When else are you going to get paid to not shave?”

Those who were unable to attend yesterday’s shav-ing event are still able to participate.

“If a gentleman wants to shave and come to our office (on the second floor of the Mountainlair), they can join by Monday,” Doty said.

know that any organiza-tions around Morgantown or WVU are welcome to vol-unteer – not just E4pWVU. We have a lot of different events we do with the res-idents and their families; we are having a Halloween party soon for the kids, and any donations toward their costumes are appreciated. We just try to help families not get sad during the hol-idays,” she said.

George also wants to in-form students volunteer-ing at the Bartlett House is a great way to get com-

munity service hours, which may be necessary to graduate.

she said. Henson attended Sigma

Kappa’s national conven-tion this summer in Hous-ton, where the campaign was launched. At the event, she learned Janel Reedy, the national vice president for communication, started the campaign.

“After learning that some-one from my own chapter created the campaign, it re-ally made me want to make the WVU Theta Chi chapter of Sigma Kappa be a loud and carrying voice against hazing on our own campus,” Henson said.

With newfound motiva-tion, she took the campaign into her own hands, and with the help of Janel Reedy and Jillian Blaine, she came up with ideas on how to in-corporate all Greek life.

The RespEKt campaign is important because it wel-comes new members to the organization, Henson said.

“There is so much more to Greek life than what people see on TV and in the mov-ies. We are truly small cor-porations where leaders and great individuals are molded,” she said.

Henson said she feels stereotypes have formed on campus for Greek life.

“I feel that some stereo-types are very prevalent here on WVU’s campus as well as for Greek life nation wide,” she said. “(They have formed) due to the way we are portrayed in the me-dia and also because haz-ing is such a terribly nega-tive thing.”

She said she hopes the RespEKt campaign will end Greek life stereotypes and stop hazing.

“I personally believe it will take time to convince the nation to stop hazing,” she said. “But campaigns like this deliver information in a fun way while showing how negative hazing can be for one’s organization.”

with one of the largest stu-dent organizations on cam-pus,” she said.

Maniacs and students are invited to bring a canned food item to the watch party. In exchange, each participant will be entered in a raffle to win prizes from the Book Exchange and WVU Trademark Licensing.

The canned food items will be donated to WVU’s student food pantry, The Rack.

Mountaineer Nation Day will also be held Saturday. The event is an opportunity for WVU fans across the globe to show their Moun-taineer pride and spirit by registering their watch par-ties online at http://moun-taineernationday.wvu.edu.

“I’m really excited,” Cave said. “Students are going to be able to bring their families, and we’ll all come together. It’s go-ing to be a family-friendly environment and a fun atmosphere.”

wVU students react to first Presidential debate

By CARlEE lAMMERscity eDitor

President Barack Obama and Republican presiden-tial candidate Governor Mitt Romney met Wednesday for the first of three presidential debates.

Members of West Virginia University’s two political or-ganizations, the WVU Young Democrats and College Re-publicans, hosted watch parties and responded to the debate on domestic policy.

President of the WVU College Republicans Jared Bedekovich said he felt the debate was overwhelmingly in favor of Romney.

“Just the overall – it was obvious to me and everyone that was watching it with me – we had a big watch party

at our headquarters in Mor-gantown – that Romney won the debate. He was very strong, and he had a lot of specifics,” he said.

“Obama, on the other hand, was really defensive. There was not a lot of spe-cifics on what he would do in a second term – nothing really new that we haven’t heard before.”

Vice President for the WVU Young Democrats Co-lin Shock applauded Rom-ney for his performance at the debate; however, he said he believed Obama was the winner.

“All bias aside, I think Mitt Romney did very well in the debate – a lot better than at least I expected. He spoke very well and came off very clear. It wasn’t a sure-

fire win, but I think he did very well,” Shock said. “The reason why I think he did so well was because I think he completely changed his message. Even if you were to talk to him like, a week ago, he would seem much more conservative then he does now.”

During the debate, Obama said he believes the U.S. economy is mak-ing progress on the path it is currently on; however, Rom-ney spoke to the need for change to create jobs.

Bedekovich said he be-lieves, if elected, Romney will offer the exact solution the country is in need of.

“Romney is saying, ‘I’m going to do a completely different thing; I am going to try something different.’

That’s what we need. He’s of-fering a different plan; he’s offering something different for health care. He’s offering a different plan for the states to decide what works best for them instead of a ‘one-size-fits-all’,” he said.

Shock said he is unsure and concerned for Rom-ney’s plan for the future.

“It’s interesting, because if you take him on face value, what he was saying during the debate – it seems his approach is different, but I think even President Obama was saying tonight that if you look at what he (Rom-ney) has been saying in the past, it doesn’t match what he was saying in the debate tonight,” Shock said.

“We saw during the pri-maries that he is willing to

take any position possible just to gain political points. I’m afraid that if he’s actu-ally elected, he will take any policy position that he wants just as long as he thinks it’s better off politically.”

Bedekovich said through-out the debate he found himself surprised about Obama’s performance.

“I was just surprised how Obama seemed; he didn’t seem very prepared for this. He was kind of taken back by how forceful Romney was and how adequately Rom-ney was dispelling the myths that Obama was trying to put on him,” he said. “He re-ally just wasn’t on his game.”

Shock said he encour-ages all WVU students to watch the debates to make informed decisions when

they head to the polls Nov. 6 – regardless of their politi-cal beliefs.

“I think anyone and ev-eryone, completely inde-pendent of your political be-liefs, should definitely watch the debates, and try to be-come informed on these is-sues as much as possible,” he said.

“I personally think that someone voting, whether it be Republican, Democrat, Independent – what have you, I still have much more respect for that person than for someone who doesn’t care at all. It affects our lives every day, and I applaud people who take the time to learn these issues.”

The next debate will be the Oct. 11 vice presidential debate.

‘Doctor Who’ bids farewell to the PondsLaura CiaroLLa

copy editor

SPOILER WARNING: This article is about the mid-season finale of “Doc-tor Who’s” seventh season. If you haven’t caught up to at least season seven, there will most likely be spoilers ahead. I’ll try my best not to give away any endings for this season, though.

Saturday marked the end of Amy and Rory Wil-lams’ time with the Doctor.

In the fall season finale, “Angels Take Manhattan,” Amy Williams (Karen Gil-lian), formerly Amy Pond, and Rory Williams (Ar-thur Darvill) team up for the last time with the Doc-tor in a battle against some of “Who’s” most terrify-ing villains – the Weeping Angels.

This episode brought the cast to America for filming, hence “Manhat-tan” in the title. Fan pres-ence surprised even Matt Smith, as they were sur-rounded daily while shoot-ing in Central Park.

Smith expressed mixed feelings toward the ep-isode on BBC America. While the episode was ex-citing to film, it is the last time he will spend on set with co-stars/friends Gil-lian and Darvil.

He said, “I defy you if you’re a ‘Who’ fan to not have a lump in your throat somewhere by the end of it. And if you don’t, then you’re an alien, and if you’re an alien, then I’m coming to get you.”

In an interview with BBC America, Darvil said “it was like reading the last chapter of the best book you’ve ever read,” about receiving the final script for the fall season.

This season has seen a change in Amy and Rory’s characters. Their struggle balancing their lives in the

real world and their time spent traveling with the Doctor has been an on-going theme throughout their time on the show. Their friends are begin-ning to notice them aging faster, and they are begin-ning to crave a simplistic lifestyle.

While they were previ-ously often referred to as “the Ponds,” a real sign of the duo’s emerging iden-tities away from the Doc-tor is the shift to “the Williams.” Amy Pond no longer exists as the Doc-tor knew her, and the cou-ple is ready to establish an identity separate from the madman with the box.

“Angels Take Manhat-tan” begins with the Doc-tor, Amy and Rory enjoy-ing a simple day in Central Park. Amy begins to notice the bags under her eyes, and the Doctor passes the time reading a titillating detective novel written by a woman named Melody Malone.

In a heartbreakingly symbolic moment, the Doctor rips out the last page before finishing. “I always rip out the last page of a book. Then it doesn’t have to end.”

Meanwhile, while Rory makes a coffee run, New York’s statues come to life. Rory is suddenly trans-

ported into the 1930s, where River (Alex Kings-ton) is already waiting. Of course, it is then up to the Doctor and Amy to save them.

The Doctor has always had a very strong attach-ment to humans, and his companions are a crucial component of the series – as well as the Doctor’s own life.

In one of the final scenes of the episode, when Amy is accepting her fate sepa-rate from the Doctor, she warns him to “never travel alone”; River warns him of this again later. And, as the preview for the Christmas episode suggests, he will,

in fact, heed her advice.Jean-Lousie Coleman

already made a surprise appearance in the first episode of the season, “Asylum of the Daleks.” However, her character’s (Oswin) fate didn’t seem to be left open-ended, and many fans (including my-self ) are anxious to see how she will be worked into the series.

“I think she’s going to be absolutely amazing,” Darvil said to BBC Amer-ica. He also advises the new companion to enjoy the experience as much as possible while she can.

A teaser trailer for the 2012 Christmas special

featured an appearance by Coleman, exposing her upcoming involvement in the series. You can watch this preview at http://BBCAmerica.com.

Though I have mixed feelings about the com-panions’ departure, my faith in “Doctor Who” re-mains strong.

I remember expressing similar distaste with the series when Rose left in season three, but my con-fidence was quickly re-stored at the start of the fourth season – as I’m sure it will be with the remain-der of the seventh.

PARIS (AP) — Marc Ja-cobs, more than anyone, knows that it’s not what you say but how you say it. The Louis Vuitton showman thus capped an incredibly strong Paris fashion week – with help from artist Dan-iel Buren – by building a life-size shopping mall in-side the Louvre.

Understatement is not a word in Jacobs’ vocab-ulary, so a collaboration with the minimalist art-ist – who made the famed striped columns in Paris’ Palais Royal – might have raised eyebrows. But Buren rose to the occasion.

“(The Louvre) was al-ready big, all I did was make it bigger,” said Buren, with trademark humor. “It was others that called me a minimalist, not me.”

The sky’s the limit when you’re backed by Europe’s richest man and LVMH-owner Bernard Arnault, with whom he mingled be-fore the show.

Meanwhile, Miuccia Prada, who herself pre-sides over a lucrative fash-ion empire, felled a small forest in aid of her presen-tation for Miu Miu, one of the final day’s other big shows. Fashion insiders clutched wooden invita-tions as they walked down a wooden “red carpet” and into the auditorium with a 30-meter (yard) wooden runway, and the show’s hu g e w o o d e n - t i e re d seating.

There was some irony that the collection was held at Paris’ grand Envi-ronmental Council.

Paris Fashion Week designers are often de-scribed as show-stopping, but none more than Elie Saab. The Lebanese de-signer threw huge graphic chunks of moon rock down the catwalk as set, to evoke his more geomet-ric theme. Unfortunately, one attendee didn’t pick up on the visual props and tripped head over heels – slightly delaying the show.

Trends on the ninth ex-hausting day of the sea-son included prints – both graphic and colored – as well as sheer transparen-cies and cutouts.

LOUIS VUITTON

What do you get if you mix up the world’s most famous checks and Paris’ most famous stripes? The answer: Louis Vuit-ton, whose 1960s style spring-summer fashion show twinned the iconic checked Damier pattern with a set designed by art-ist Daniel Buren.

Buren created four full-scale escalators, featuring his signature 8.7cm stripes, which wowed spectators inside.

“It’s exquisite, beau-tiful,” said 29-year-old Christina Malaki. “What a spectacle.”

In fashion terms it was strong, with most of the 64 retro looks delivered in Mary Quant-style checks that made a bold optical statement in black and white, as well as browns, gray and leaf green.

Slightly puffed rounded shoulders, miniskirts, bee-hives and a few exposed midriffs pointed to one thing: The swinging 60s are back.

The silhouettes – often flat and loose – prioritized the Damier above the fe-male form, which rippled nicely in skirts as the mod-els, who walked in pairs, filed by with handbags.

Louis Vuitton is a house that is proud of its tra-dition, but also likes to evolve. The collection saw the ubiquitous monogram banished for the first time.

Instead, one recurrent feature was, so say the pro-gram notes, “the smallest sequins ever produced.”

Thousands of micro-scopic sequins brought a dazzling metallic shimmer to dresses and skirt suits, though when it was used on the blocked Damier pattern it was slightly too much.

“It’s all about being graphic. (Buren’s escala-tors) are a mathematical equation,” Jacobs told jour-nalists after the show.

Another math equation will come from the buoy-ant receipts from this, a highly saleable collection.

It’s a fair bet that by next year this bold check will be everywhere.

MIU MIUMiu Miu’s spring-sum-

mer 2013 show in Paris had a wintery vibe.

Despite the slightly off-kilter season it was a slick display, with lashings of faux fur on coats and stoles with dyed patterning at the brand often seen as Mi-uccia Prada’s baby sister offshoot.

It picked up nicely on this season’s fascination with prints as contrast-ing explosions on loose skirt suits – sometimes re-sembling the negative of a photograph.

As ever, it remained de-mure, but interesting back features graced a few re-versed boxy tops. Along-side looks in denim and the prints, it gave the clothes a distinctly cool edge which reached its peak in a few eclectic, asymmetrical pieces.

Only a master like Prada can make a tiny strapped cropped camisole work underneath a thick fur coat, accessorized with leather gloves and jeweled Roman sandals.

Uber-cool actress – and Miu Miu spokesperson –

Chloe Sevigny watched from the front row.

ELIE SAABElie Saab, master of

the va-va-voom silhou-ette, broke out of his strict mold for his spring-sum-mer 2013 show in Paris.

The Lebanese designer must have been feeling in an adventurous mood: He dabbled in graphic de-tails and floral prints in Wednesday’s show.

But never fear, his bread-and-butter traffic stopping dresses and se-quins were still there – in cerulean blue and vermil-

ion. After all, it’s what his buyers and celebrity wear-ers such as singer Taylor Swift on the front row ex-pect and love.

But the palette this sea-son was updated to include a beautiful cobalt, which in turn exploded into fluores-cent color prints on gowns, some full length, others above the knee, that flut-

tered by in silk muslin.Saab included the odd

peplum and some `90s looks with black-and-white geometric lines.

The catwalk set of graphic angular moon rocks signaled to fash-ion insiders even be-fore the show started that Saab would move in this direction.

Get ready for midtermsEvery semester it’s the

same thing: you’re sitting in a lecture Monday morn-ing when your instructor brings your world crashing down around you.

“Your exam will be this Friday. Bring a scan-tron and try not to hyperventilate.”

Wait, what?Between marvelling how

nearly two months have passed since the semes-ter started and wonder-ing how many questions will come from the text-book, midterms can seem overwhelming.

They’re also an impor-tant milestone in conquer-ing any course, so there are a few things to keep in

mind when approaching the midterm crunch.

1. Get enough sleepTeachers, doctors and

infomercials have been preaching the power of eight hours of sleep per night for so long your eyes have probably started to droop. Your college news-paper isn’t about deviate from that norm – sorry.

There have been numer-ous studies that link insuf-ficient sleep to poor aca-demic performance, and other studies have con-versely found a positive correlation between the number of hours a student sleeps every night and their GPA.

Sleep also promotes

overall health and has been proven in some instances to improve memory. Un-derstanding sleep can also help increase its pos-itive effects.

2 . P ra c t i c e t i m e management

You’re probably think-ing, “but sleep is for the weak.” If you skipped over the last suggestion in fa-vor of buying a case of Red Bull or asking the barista at Starbucks how many shots of espresso will fit in a venti

latte, you’re probably plan-ning something drastic. That isn’t to say all-night-ers are always a bad thing – sometimes there’s just no other way – but there are better ways of manag-ing your time and avoiding misery.

Taking the time to de-termine when your exams will occur and deciding how much time to devote to studying for each can help midterms seem more manageable. Remember to build breaks into your studying – emotional sta-bility can improve perfor-mance, too.

3. Relax and de-stressStudies have shown that

approaching studying and

test-taking with the same mindset can drastically improve recall. That’s why exam nerves are so scary – when a person says they often “blank” during tests, they’re probably experi-encing test anxiety.

Wednesday night, Presi-dent Barack Obama and for-mer Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney faced off in Den-ver, Colo. for the first of three planned presidential debates. With Romney trailing in the polls in a number of key swing states, this debate was widely viewed as his opportunity to get back in the race.

After watching the candi-dates go at each other for 90 minutes, my first impression is that Romney unquestion-ably came out as the win-ner, at least from a purely sty-listic standpoint. President Obama, who was uncharac-teristically rusty, seemed to be trying to take a page out of Bill Clinton’s vaunted politi-cal playbook by focusing on explaining policy specifics.

Unfortunately for Obama, this approach is much more effective during a 40-minute speech at the DNC than it is during a debate.

Romney was much sharper and was, surpris-ingly, significantly more ag-gressive, repeatedly attack-ing Obama on the deficit and his health care overhaul. But even though the consensus is that Romney won the first de-bate, whether or not this per-formance will help him gain some ground in the polls re-mains to be seen. It’s impor-tant to note that presidential debates don’t typically make a significant impact on the outcome of elections, barring a Nixon-esque mid-debate meltdown.

Moving away from the de-bate’s relevance to the “horse-race,” something about it that really struck me was both candidates’ deafening silence on one particular issue, which seems to have been moved to the backburner of our polit-

ical discourse despite its in-creasing urgency. After 90 minutes of the only one of the three presidential debates that solely focused on domes-tic policy, there wasn’t a single mention of climate change.

The silence on this monu-mental issue speaks volumes about the perilous position we are in when it comes to confronting it. It truly is amaz-ing that we’ve reached a point where not only has our para-lyzed political process failed to take action on this colos-sal crisis, but our politicians won’t even talk about it.

One obvious explana-tion for Obama and Rom-ney’s seeming lack of interest when it comes to the warming of our planet is the fact that the public isn’t very worried about it.

According to a recent Gal-lup poll, nearly half of Amer-icans don’t believe that human activities are contrib-uting to global warming and that the media is exaggerating

the seriousness of the threat posed by it.

What’s even more trou-bling than these numbers themselves is the fact they have steadily increased throughout the past decade, even though the evidence for anthropogenic global warm-ing has only accumulated during this time. This trend is undoubtedly linked to a de-liberate misinformation cam-paign perpetrated by those who have an interest in main-taining the status quo when it comes to the burning of fos-sil fuels.

Incredibly, climate change denial has been adopted by many prominent Republi-cans, including vice presi-dential candidate Paul Ryan. As with most issues, it is hard to discern what Mitt Romney actually feels about this issue, as his expressed views on it have oscillated depending on which office he was running for at the time. Either way, we can all safely assume there

won’t be anything done about it if he is elected.

What’s most dishearten-ing about all of this is that we should have moved beyond debating the science under-lying this issue long ago. The mechanism of the green-house effect has been es-tablished for more than a 100 years. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. In other words, it traps heat. Thus, it follows that the more of it we spew into our atmosphere, the more heat will be trapped, and the more our planet will subsequently be warmed. This is exactly what has hap-pened as the burning of fos-sil fuels has caused the at-mospheric carbon dioxide concentration to increase by more than 30 percent since the industrial revolution.

According to a recent study in the Proceedings of the Na-tional Academy of Sciences, 97 percent of climate scien-tists who publish on the topic of climate change agree that human activities are contrib-uting to global warming.

If 97 percent of the people most informed on this topic agree that the burning of fos-sil fuels is contributing to an oncoming environmental catastrophe, why can’t our leaders at least agree to talk about it?

FEATURE OF THE DAY

LATER THIS WEEK

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year others can count on you for feedback, as you tend to be quite verbose. Your abil-ity to detach from yourself and your life will prove to be essential to your year and overall happiness. Distant elements, educational opportunities, travel and issues involving the law might not move as fast as you’d like, but you will arrive where you want to be in due time. If you are single, you could meet several people. The person who is quite different will be the right one for you. If attached, a trip will invigorate your relationship. Keeping communication open will be a snap. GEMINI always has a different perspective.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Remedy any confusion, at least on your side. With your busy pace, you might regret nixing an event or an offer to take a break. Be aware that in the next several months, you might very well have a similar opportunity again; just don’t let it slip by. Tonight: Express what you have been holding back.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Note an emerging possessive streak. What is going on with you? You might need to take a timeout for a personal assessment and for working on your self-image. Consider making a much-needed change that you have in mind. It will only serve to benefit you. Tonight: Take care of errands first.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You are comfortable with having a plethora of options. You might regret a recent decision you have made, but you will have an opportunity to rem-edy that remorse soon enough. Hang

in there. A boss or higher-up acts in the most unexpected manner. To-night: Out and about.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH You have several days before you have to make a decision. Think care-fully about what you will choose. Make appointments to see your doc-tor and dentist -- not that you will have a problem, but it could prevent a problem from happening. Surprises lie ahead. Tonight: Get some R and R while you can.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You could regroup and become up-beat about a difficult situation. Use this skill more often to avoid being up-set or for trying to understand a differ-ent perspective. You might be hoping for some positive news. It could be de-layed, but it will happen. Tonight: Find fun with a friend.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Be willing to take a stand, no matter what is occurring. Key people might act er-ratically. Someone dotes on you ador-ingly; let this person know what you want. You feel upbeat, despite your many responsibilities. Tonight: Out and about.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Reach out for someone at a distance. A cohort could be distorting a situation more than you realize. You will gain more information and insight about this person if you speak to him or her about opening up lines of communi-cation. Tonight: Times are changing.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You have a lot to say and do. A close associate steps in, as he or she needs attention and wants to express some creativity. Be careful -- the unexpected could occur with this person. An offer

or invitation will reappear. This time, be sure to make a fast decision. To-night: Try out a suggestion.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You might be overwhelmed by requests. In some cases, you will need to say “no.” Some of the key peo-ple in your life could be more unsta-ble than usual. Give them space if a difficult conversation occurs. Tonight: Consider starting the weekend early.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Focus on errands and your own well-being. If you are working, you might experience a need to be very atten-tive. Take nothing for granted today -- not your pet, health, favorite plant or group of friends. Make sure to give enough attention to each of these. To-night: Put your feet up. Relax.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Your creativity and ingenu-ity could take an interesting turn. You might wonder exactly what works and what will remain experimental, until you find the answers. Remember that with you, everything changes quickly. A child or loved one needs to open up, yet he or she might pull back at the slightest lack of interest. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Anchor in and enjoy yourself. You could have a lot of questions about a real-estate matter and/or a domes-tic issue. You cannot push right now in these areas, but you can remain open to conversations when others are ready. You might feel differently in a few days. Tonight: Order in.

‘Married ... With Children’Nbc Universal

Most rappers in the ‘90s were en-gaged in a war of words. Meanwhile, Will Smith was rapping about his cab ride from Philadelphia to California.

“I looked at my kingdom I was fi-nally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air,” was the famous line that began every episode of the hit sit-com “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

It all started when Will “got in one little fight” and was sent to live with his Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian in the classy Los Angeles neighborhood.

The show centers around the culture shock Smith experiences fromn west Philadelphia to the upscale, wealthy lifestyle of his relatives, the Banks.

Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian attempt to mold Smith into a proper gentle-man, but along the way, he teaches them a few lessons as well.

Carlton is the Banks’ oldest son and the perfect child. When Smith comes along he teaches Carlton a lot about life. They had plenty of adventures and caused even more mischief during the show’s six seasons.

But let’s not forget, if there was ever any mischief, Hillary, the Banks’ oldest daughter, was usually behind it. Hill-ary served as the ditsy rich girl who re-lied on her looks to get by. This made her an easy target for Smith and his jokes.

And how could we forget about ev-eryone’s favorite butler, Geoffrey? His dry, sarcastic humor truly brought a new element to “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

Smith was nominated for Golden Globe awards in 1993 and 1994 for his performance in the show.

One thing people might not know about the sitcom is NBC approached Smith in 1990 when he was about to file for bankruptcy because he owed the IRS $2.8 million in penalties.

Now, the “Fresh Prince” theme song is, arguably, Smith’s most famous and recognizable accomplishment.

If I’m being honest, there were a ton of great sitcoms on air throughout the 90s – “Saved by the Bell,” “Friends” and “Home Improvement” to name a few – but “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” was right up there.

It truly is one of a kind, and that’s why reruns of the show will play for years to come.

da&[email protected]

The ‘90s was a decade of wonder and ex-citement, filled with discoveries to make and lessons to learn.

It established Surge was truly the best drink ever invented, that watching “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” at night was a bad idea, and love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage.

The last lesson – of course – comes from the show “Married ... With Children.”

“Married... With Children” premiered in 1987 and aired until 1997. Filled with a cast of misfits, it represented how no one wanted to turn out.

The Bundy family was the typical poor American family. There was Al, the misan-thropic women’s shoe salesman, and his lazy housewife Peggy.

They had two kids: Kelly, the stereotyp-ical promiscuous dumb blonde, and Bud, the awkward younger brother, who was in-famously incapable of interacting with girls. Marcy, their next-door neighbor, was Peggy’s best friend and Al’s worst enemy.

The show followed Al’s shenanigans, in-cluding his job at Gary’s Shoes and Acces-sories for Today’s Woman, his storytelling of

the glory days when he was the star football player, and his role in NO MA’AM, the “Na-tional Organization of Men Against Amazo-nian Masterhood.”

Throughout his daily life, viewers real-ize that no matter how bad things are, they should always be glad their lives are not as bad as Al Bundy’s.

“Married... With Children” has been voted as one of Time Magazine’s “All-Time 100 TV Shows,” and for good reason. With lines like, “Women ... can’t live with’em... the end,” its humor should make it one of the best shows of all-time.

Humor was always quantified in the bad moments in Al’s everyday life. The Bundy’s suffered a life filled with turmoil, and this was often the brunt of jokes. This curse is refer-enced many times during the series.

“It’s what keeps us from being happy. There’s no point in fighting. It’s what sepa-rates us from the ordinary losers. They can have their moments, but not us,” Al said in one episode about the curse.

No matter how bad their lives were, they learned that it could always get worse; that was perhaps the funniest part of the series.

For 11 seasons, “Married... With Chil-dren” provided America with a taste of hu-mor through the dysfunctional lives of Al, Peggy, Kelly and Bud Bundy. We saw just how good our own lives were, and how not to act.

‘Boy Meets World’Abc Network ««««

fanpop.com

“Boy Meets World” is one of the most recognizable and iconic TV shows from the ‘90s.

Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and Shawn Hunter’s (Rider Strong) antics en-tertained us. We followed Cory and To-panga Lawrence’s (Danielle Fishel) ro-mance from its blossoming stages. Each of us had a special place in our hearts for the brusque but lovable Mr. George Feeny (William Daniels). Cory’s brother Eric (Will Friedle) was a complete airhead, but it was impossible not to feel his rarely expressed sincerity.

Even through the questionable fash-ion – crimped hair, excessive flannel and crop tops – we grew up alongside the characters.

The show begins in the gang’s sixth grade year. Cory and Shawn are notori-ously apathetic toward their schoolwork, much to Mr. Feeny’s frustration, and most

of this season chronicles their love for sports and confusion about Eric’s obses-sion with girls.

However, the meat of the show docu-ments Cory, Shawn and Topanga’s high school years.

Cory works up the courage to ask out Topanga, and they face many snags in their relationship, often breaking up and making up.

Shawn suffers the most hardships, in-cluding dealing with money problems, trying to promote his bad-boy image and the shock of a near-fatal motorcycle acci-dent involving his mentor, Mr. Turner (An-thony Tyler Quinn).

The series wraps up with the characters’ experiences in college.

Love triangles are the focus of many of the episodes. Shawn and his long-lost brother, Jack’s (Matthew Lawrence) father dies of a heart attack. Cory and Topanga fi-nally get married. Mr. Feeny somehow re-mains present in their lives.

The most heart-wrenching scene of the show remains the very last one, with To-panga’s tearful face as she hugs Mr. Feeny for the last time and Feeny’s last words, “I love you all; class dismissed.”

I learned many lessons from the show: It’s okay to be unique, Mr. Feeny is the wisest man on the planet, and every argument can be resolved with a hug.

“Boy Meets World” is by no means the greatest show of the ‘90s.

The dialogue was cheesy, there were often gaping plot holes – introductions to siblings who are never heard from again, Feeny’s leaps from teacher to prin-cipal to professor, and gaps in character development – but the cast will forever re-main a part of our genera-tion’s lives.

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy has a good problem on his hands with two quarterbacks who are more than capable of running the Cowboys’ high-powered offense.

The injury true freshman quarterback Wes Lunt suf-fered three weeks ago when Oklahoma State fell to Ar-izona may have lost him his job. Lunt threw for 558 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions in the two games he saw action.

But J.W. Walsh, another freshman who stepped in for Lunt, has performed well in his absence. Walsh has completed nearly 70 per-cent of his passes and has thrown for 797 yards and eight touchdowns with just two interceptions.

“J.W. (Walsh) has played very well. The way they’ve played is very encouraging for Oklahoma State foot-ball,” Gundy said. “Wes (Lunt) continues to get bet-ter; we expect him to prac-tice by the end of the week. From that point on our coaches have to come up with the best scheme and find us the best way to have success and score points.”

Tuberville, Texas Tech defense thriving

For all the talented of-fenses in the Big 12 Con-ference, the Texas Tech de-fense is flourishing early in the season under head coach Tommy Tuberville.

The Red Raiders are first in the nation in total de-fense, yielding only 167.5 yards per game. Texas Tech also forces opponents to punt more than every other team in America, as they are also first in the FBS in al-lowing the least amount of

first downs. Tuberville attri-butes his defensive success, by changes in his recruiting philosophy.

“In the Big 12, you have to have as much speed as you possibly can. It’s totally dif-ferent from the SEC. You’d have bigger linebackers and guys that can stop the run, so it’s working good for us,” Tuberville said. “We’ve made it a priority the last two years in recruiting to bring in height and speed on defense – guys that can run, guys that can rush the passer with speed and get their hands up in the pass-ing lane.

“It’s an ongoing process to try and get this defense where it needs to be to play the Oklahoma States and West Virginias who throw the ball on almost every down.”

Kansas wants to make Kansas State game most

importantWith the Border War be-

tween Kansas and Missouri no longer in play for the Jay-hawks, head coach Charlie Weis is looking for the Sun-flower Showdown against Kansas State to become the Jayhawks’ marquee rivalry game.

“The last three years, they’ve put a pretty good whooping on us, and I think now that Missouri is no lon-ger a competitor, Kansas has to focus on having that same fire and intensity on the in-state rival like Kansas State does,” Weis said.

The Jayhawks lead the Kansas State Wildcats 65-39-5 in the all-time series between the two schools. Kansas State defeated Kan-sas 59-21 last year in Man-hattan, Kan. The two schools renew the rivalry this Satur-day at noon.

Quarterback controversy brewing at Oklahoma State

WEBOklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy talks to the media at Big 12 Media Day in July.

No. 3 West Virginia opens season against No. 5 army

by michael carVellisports editor

A sixth-place finish in the NCAA championships last season left a sour taste in the mouths of mem-bers of the No. 3 West Vir-ginia rifle team during the offseason.

The Mountaineers, who have won 14 national championships in school history, haven’t won a title since 2009, but their mis-sion to win again starts this weekend when they travel to take on No. 5 Army.

“We definitely would have liked to have done bet-ter (at the NCAA champi-onships). But you just use it as motivation,” said WVU head coach Jon Hammond. “Now we have no one on this team who has won a championship before, so that’s a nice tool to have to use as well. We’re starting fresh and starting over from the beginning.”

The Black Knights fin-ished fourth in the nation last season with returning junior Michael Matthews, who finished just one point short of winning a national championship in smallbore this year.

West Virginia hasn’t lost to Army since 2008, but Ham-mond knows this will be a difficult test for his team’s first match of the season.

“They’re just a strong team,” Hammond said. “They have a lot of high-quality shooters, and they always have a lot of depth. And for the most part, you’re dealing with a lot of incredi-bly disciplined, hard-work-ing people.

“There’s always a chal-lenge that comes with going away to shoot. It’s always a great experience, but none of the guys we have now have ever been there to shoot, so it’ll be a new environment.”

Leading the way for the Mountaineers this season will be senior Petra Zublas-ing. Zublasing is coming off a national champion-ship in air rifle last season

and an appearance in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Hammond said that hav-ing a shooter with the experi-ence Zublasing has is crucial for a team that features seven underclassman shooters.

“Not every rifle athlete, or any athlete in general, gets to train with someone who just went to the Olympics,” Hammond said. “She’s obvi-ously learned a huge amount from the Games and almost has a whole new perspective on the sport. She has a really good approach this year and she knows the things that she wants to achieve.”

The Mountaineers also have a good duo of sopho-mores in Taylor Ciotola and Thomas Kyanko.

Kyanko, a Wellsburg, W.Va., native, was named a second-team all-American, and Ciotola was an honor-able mention selection as a redshirt freshman.

“Those two – I feel like they’re coming back as ex-perienced campaigners, even though they’re both only sophomores,” Ham-

mond said. “You don’t of-ten have the chance to red-shirt people in rifle, and we were lucky enough to have such a strong, senior-laden team a couple of years ago, so we were able to do it with those two.

“It’s nice to have them as a solid foundation for your team that you’re going to have around for the next three years.”

With such a young team, Hammond is looking for-ward to seeing his Moun-taineers take a step in the right direction to get to mid-season form.

“Our focus for these matches this semester is to lay the foundation to where they can make some changes to the things they’re doing,” he said.

“The challenge is just get-ting the balance right of us-ing these matches for expe-rience and try things without being too experimental and always being ready to shoot a good match and get good value from it.”

really.”Silva, who leads the Moun-

taineers with eight goals, may not have wanted to go to school close to home, but she certainly doesn’t mind going back to visit.

“I had no idea that we would ever go back to play (Kansas),” Silva said. “I per-sonally like it because I get to go home and play in front of the home crowd.”

Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, who recruited Silva out of Big 12 country, is ex-cited to see her offensive star make a trip home. At some point during a Mountaineers’ career at West Virginia, Izzo-

Brown tries to schedule a match close to home for team members who are not from the region. Lucky for Izzo-Brown and Silva, the Kansas game just fell in their lap.

“What a great surprise for that kid,” Izzo-Brown said. “For her to be able to go home, play and compete in her home state is going to be exciting for her.

“I try, with scheduling, to mix things up so families can see their kids – especially when they’re far from home. It’s great that we are able to get home for Frances.”

Silva hails from Big 12 country, and Izzo-Brown signed her before the move to the Big 12, but it allowed Izzo-Brown and the Mountaineers to open a new recruiting pipe-

line. With the conference so focused around states such as Texas and Oklahoma, the move to the Big 12 enables Izzo-Brown access to those powerhouse soccer states.

“(The conference move) has definitely opened things up for us,” Izzo-Brown said. “I think now you can tell a kid from Texas, ‘Hey look, we are going to be playing in Texas.’

“We’ve definitely ex-panded ourselves a bit, (and) we’re seeing more interest in Texas kids, so it should be exciting.”

If the players WVU recruits from Big 12 country are any-thing like Silva, then the state of the West Virginia women’s soccer team is in good hands.

Anna Panagiotakopoulos might have been the story of the night for the Mountain-

eers, amassing double-digit digs and hustling to the ball ferociously, despite an in-jury to her back that forced her to begin the match with a compression wrap around her torso.

“It hurts to walk right now,” Panagiotakopoulos said. “I was hurting all match and just every move I made, but that’s

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The profile page on the Twitter account of Manti Te’o doesn’t say he’s a Notre Dame linebacker, that he’s being mentioned as a Heis-man Trophy candidate or that he’s a Sports Illustrated cover boy.

Instead, it features a quote from “The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas: “Life is a storm. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.”

Te’o has been through a storm.

His maternal grand-mother, Annette Santiago, died in Hawaii after a long ill-ness on Sept. 11 and his girl-

friend, Lennay Kekua, died in California of leukemia several hours later. Te’o didn’t miss a practice that week, choos-ing to be with his teammates as the Irish prepared for their game at then-No. 10 Michi-gan State, even though coach Brian Kelly told him he didn’t need to be there.

Te’o calls it the hardest thing he’s ever had to do.

“To be able to operate, and to be able to try to con-tinue with my daily routine, but knowing that I just lost a woman that I truly loved, that was the hardest thing,” he said.

The task was made even harder knowing he couldn’t attend her funeral in Car-son City, Calif.. He said Len-nay had made him promise

he wouldn’t miss a game, in-stead asking him to honor her with his play.

Te’o did that. He had 12 tackles, one for a loss, and broke up two passes in the win against Michigan State. A week later, he had two in-terceptions, leading to a touchdown and a field goal, in a 13-6 win over Michigan in which he had eight tack-les. The Irish defense didn’t give up a touchdown in the two games.

The performances caught the attention of his team-mates, his classmates and college football fans across the country.

“At that time he may have been a little weak inside, but he never showed it out,” de-fensive end Stephon Tu-

itt said. “He stayed strong. Watching him kept us going strong.”

Te’o has been the driving force behind the best Notre Dame defense in at least a decade, leading the Irish to their 4-0 start and their No. 9 ranking. He has played a role in seven of the 13 turnovers forced by the Irish, intercept-ing three passes, recovering two fumbles and hurrying the quarterback twice on passes that were intercepted.

Defensive coordinator Bob Diaco believes the 6-foot-2, 255-pound Te’o is the fin-est football player in college, saying he can power his way through blocks, but moves like a much smaller player.

“He’s a unique blend of be-ing able to be kind and good

and courteous and warm and friendly when he’s not inside the gates or inside the stripes, and then when he’s in there he’s an absolute warrior,” Di-aco said.

Te’o’s father, Brian, be-lieves part of that is it’s a Polynesian trait, citing Junior Seau and Troy Polamalu as examples. He also believes it’s partially related to Te’o’s Mormon upbringing.

“He understands that his actions have a direct impact on those who are watching him, and also the fact that his actions and decision-making does have a direct reflection on the family, on both my wife and I,” he said. “We both remind him constantly.”

His father said Te’o also works hard at his craft be-

cause he knows another tal-ented athlete is working just as hard.

“He knows when he meets that person he’s going to have to be at the top of his game in order to compete with him,” he said.

Te’o has 362 career tackles and is on pace to finish third on Notre Dame’s all-time list behind Bob Crable (1978-81), who had 521, and Bob Golic (1975-78), who finished with 479.

Crable calls Te’o one of the best players he’s seen at Notre Dame.

“He has great speed. He knows where the football is,” he said. “Unfortunately for him, as far as the tackling record goes, the game has changed so much. I don’t know how anyone can get the tackles some of us old guys got just because they don’t run the ball as much.”

Kelly said what separates Te’o from other stars is he knows the names of every player on the team, even the walkons.

“He doesn’t call them, ‘Hey, 42, or 57.’ He knows each of those guys. ... That’s pretty unique,” he said.

Student body President Brett Rocheleau said class-mates love Te’o because he’s one of them. He takes part in campus events, he’s seen walking around carrying his backpack and talking with other students.

“Every story you hear about Manti is that he is gen-uinely nice guy. He’s one that is easy to talk to. He goes out of his way to carry on conver-sations,” he said.

The students showed their love for Te’o by chanting his name and wearing leis at the Michigan game and pep rally. Te’o jumped up in the crowd to celebrate the victory with them.

“I felt a sense of peace knowing that so many people cared about Manti instead of No. 5,” he said.

He was able to get home for his grandmother’s funeral during the bye week and said he feels rejuvenated as the Irish prepare to play Miami (4-1) Saturday in Chicago.

“I’ve never felt so strong; spiritually strong,” he said. “I could never thank the student body and the fans around the world for their all love and all their prayers and support. I truly felt all of that, and it’s helped me to get past, help me get through these past three weeks and I’m truly grateful and I’m truly humbled.”

‘This was a tough one’

by amit batrasports writer

The No. 18 West Virginia men’s soccer team was dev-astated after its loss to Elon Tuesday night.

Up 2-1 late in the second half, everything started to go downhill for the Moun-taineers, and the Phoenix were able to walk out of Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium as the first visiting team to beat WVU at home.

It was West Virginia’s first loss in exactly one month,

as it dropped to 4-0-2 since suffering a 1-0 loss to No. 15 Wake Forest.

As such an experienced team, some of the play-ers were surprised how the game ended. They knew against talented teams like Elon, they should never take their foot off the gas pedal because they have the lead.

“We should be able to know what to do during times like that,” said senior defender Eric Schoenle. “We should kill the game.

It’s really disappointing for us as a team. This was a tough one; this was a big game for us. This one will hurt for a while.”

Elon capitalized on its chances at the end of the game, especially forward Chris Thomas. The na-tion’s leading scorer netted a number of goals and al-most bagged another late in the game.

But the Mountain-eers had their fair share of chances as well, outshoot-ing the Phoenix 27-10 on

the night. The way Elon continued pushing down the stretch turned out to be the main difference Tues-day night.

“We need to figure a team out that will follow the game plan,” said West Virginia head coach Marlon LeB-lanc. “I need to put together a better game plan; I need to coach my team better.

“At the end of the day, I told them it’s my fault, and I didn’t have them prepared for the game. We need to find a way to get them bet-

ter-prepared for Sunday afternoon.”

With just one noncon-ference game remain-ing on the schedule, WVU knows it needs as many positive results as possible in order to make its NCAA tournament resume look better.

“This was a big game for us. It was a top 20 RPI game for us, which would have been good for us come tournament time,” Schoenle said. “We’ve got to win all of our games from here on

out.”West Virginia will need to

have a quick turnaround as Buffalo comes to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m.

It will be the Mountain-eers’ third Mid-American Conference game for the Mountaineers.

WVU will have to find ways to finish games quickly as the next five matches are against conference opponents.

West Virgnia falls to No. 24 Kansasby auStiN Seidel

sports writer

The Mountaineer volley-ball team entered the Coli-seum Wednesday to host No. 24 Kansas just two days af-ter returning from a five-day road trip.

For West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer, the chief concern for the days prior to the matchup against Kansas was to keep her team active and prepared for the match with a shortened practice week.

The Mountaineers re-sponded well to Kramer’s preparation as the team took full advantage of its home court and stunned the Jay-hawks in the opening set 25-15.

But West Virginia wouldn’t be able to keep that momentum, losing the next three sets to fall 3-1 to the Jayhawks.

“It’s really important for us to make a good first impres-sion on teams as they come to visit us,” Kramer said. “And I think we did that tonight; I think we left a good first im-pression. I’m proud of this team.”

The Mountaineers hit .241 as a team and helped put on defensive pressure to force Kansas into a meager 0 per-cent hitting from the field in the opening set.

However, the success of the opening set would be short-lived, as Kansas’ Cath-erine Jurmoc and the Kansas hitters helped the Jayhawks

come alive in the second set with eight kills to tie the game at one set apiece prior to the third set.

“In the second set, one of the things I think (Kansas) did well was how they tran-sitioned,” Kramer said. “They did a great job of getting back to defense and just moving on both sides of the ball, and in that second set, they kind of put us back on our heels.”

The Jayhawk offense would take a turn in the sec-ond set and go up 4-2 and not look back as they took the lead in each of the fol-lowing three sets, allowing only a brief 3-0 lead for the Mountaineers in the second set. The Mountaineers’ suc-cesses defensively were over-shadowed by Kansas’ offen-

sive strength and struggle to execute at the net for their own offense.

For West Virginia, offense became a problem as the team hit just .066 after open-ing the match with a .241 hit percentage. The team was led offensively by Nikki Attea once again, as Attea recorded 14 kills on 32 attempts and was stern defensively while junior Liz Gulick and fresh-man libero Anna Panagiota-kopoulos each had 14 digs to contribute to West Virginia’s 52 digs overall.

“I fully attribute our strug-gles digging the ball to our lack of ability to get blocks up,” Kramer said. “When you can’t get that first touch

Kansas road trip a homecoming for WVU’s Silva

While most of the West Vir-ginia student body was cel-ebrating homecoming last weekend when the football team beat Baylor in spectac-ular fashion, women’s soccer junior forward Frances Silva will be celebrating her own homecoming this weekend.

“I am pretty excited about it – going back home and playing in front of my fam-ily,” said Silva in preparation for the Mountaineers game at Kansas. “I will be stealing (ev-erybody’s) player-pass tick-ets so that I can fill the stands

with my family and friends.”Silva is from Overland

Park, Kan., home of the Jay-hawks, and host of West Vir-ginia’s next Big 12 road test. Silva played soccer at Blue Valley North High, where she led her team to a 2007 state championship and started all four years. Even though she was a three-time member of the Kansas all-state team, she never gave the Jayhawks much of a thought.

“Honestly, I was very open during my recruiting pro-cess,” Silva said in a Moun-taineer Sports Network fea-ture. “I didn’t want to stay close to home, so I didn’t look at any of the Big 12 schools,
