Saturday, students gath-ered on the Mountainlair green to participate in the nation’s Make a Difference Day.

For more than 20 years,

millions of Americans have gathered together with one mission: to improve the lives of other community mem-bers. Sponsored by USA WEEKEND Magazine and Points of Light, Make a Dif-ference Day is currently the nation’s largest day of com-munity service.

West Virginia University partakes in the community service day every year, and this year, the University pro-vided a number of volunteer locations for students.

Following three stu-dent expulsions and mul-tiple arrests after the win against Baylor, West Vir-ginia University President E. Gordon Gee is hopeful students will take it upon themselves to set a higher standard for how they cele-brate being a Mountaineer.

Gee, who had settled at home Saturday evening when his assistant texted him about the riots taking place on Grant Avenue. and later High Street, called the actions of those students who engaged in criminal behavior “unacceptable.”

“My first reaction was disappointment, needless to say,” Gee said. “As you know, we are expelling stu-dents as we speak in those regards. The second thing though is that we truly need to understand this happens at a lot of insti-tutions. That is no excuse for us.”

Although WVU may not be the only school where celebration gets out of control, Gee said there are some cultural issues that must be addressed so the University can prosper.

“The alcohol abuse, the binge drinking, are among a number of things I be-lieve the students are to address,” he said. “I’m

looking really now for the students to lead us to a level of understanding and respect about how we celebrate and how we have great spirit at this institution.”

For the University to grow and make positive change, Gee said it is most significantly the students’ job to influence their peers and set leading examples.

“I believe that students are not kids, they are adults. I think given that responsibility, students (should) take that respon-sibility very seriously. That is my expectation, and that is their responsibility, not mine,” he said. “That, I think, is the difference be-

tween what was done in the past. We’ve had pan-els, we’ve had working groups, but it’s really been the older adults trying to

set the standard. I believe the standard for expecta-tion should be established by our students.”

Gee said something that has been important

to him in the aftermath of the weekend is how clear it is that the vast majority of WVU students are dis-appointed in the criminal

behavior that took place, and that it is indeed possi-ble for students to take the University back.

For example, he said, a number of years ago, WVU

was considered an unde-sirable place to go to an away football or basket-ball game because of dis-respectful fans.

“As you know, we have really turned that around,” he said. “All of this is pos-sible in terms of lessons learned.”

Even more important to Gee is that students start acting like Mountaineers who expect to win.

“We shouldn’t over-cel-ebrate every time we win. We are at that point in terms of athletic quality of our program and the qual-ity of our University that we ought to expect that we are

In light of the recent events in Morgantown, West Virginia University’s student leaders are taking a stand against vulgar or offensive T-shirts that have been worn on campus or at athletic events.

The Mountaineer Mani-acs will host the T-shirt Am-nesty Program from Oct. 27-31 at a booth inside the Mountainlair. Students who bring any type of vulgar shirt representing WVU can ex-change it for a $20 voucher to buy an officially licensed WVU T-shirt from the WVU Barnes and Nobles book-store, the WVU Book Ex-change or the team shop at the Coliseum.

“This program started a couple years ago, and we wanted to reinitiate it be-cause of things being seen on social media after last week’s events like the guy standing in front of a fire with a West F*cking Virginia shirt. It’s not cool nor is it classy, it makes us look stupid,” said Anthony Burns, assistant director of the Mountaineer Maniacs. “People hold that perception of us. Even if they have never been to the University or the state of West Virginia, they remember what they saw, and it gives West Virginia University a bad reputation.”

With ESPN’s College Game Day coming to Mor-gantown this Saturday, Nov. 1, WVU will be under the na-tional spotlight. Burns said it is important for students to remember that the student body represents WVU and Morgantown as a commu-nity and wearing these vul-gar, offensive T-shirts does not promote WVU’s vigor-

ous Mountaineer pride in a positive way.

“You wouldn’t wear those type of shirts to a job inter-view or around your family, so why would you in front of thousands of people? West Virginia has a reputation for being a huge party school, and wearing T-shirts like that just feeds into that idea. Those shirts don’t help pro-mote our school in a posi-tive way, they just hurt us,” Burns said.

Many WVU Students are very supportive towards the T-shirt amnesty program and believe it is beneficial to the University. Senior exer-cise physiology student Matt McLaughlin thinks the pro-gram is a great idea because it gets these shirts off cam-pus, but also allows students to get new shirts.

“A lot of students have these shirts, and the only way they are willing to give them up is for a new T-shirt. I think a lot of students will jump on that,” he said.

The Mountaineer Mani-acs encourages all students to show their Mountaineer pride in a respectful way and to take advantage of getting rid of an offensive shirt for le-gitimate WVU Mountaineer apparel.

“The main focus is to re-ally get these shirts off the street and to raise aware-ness on what you do matters, what you wear represents the University. Let’s get rid of this stigma and show every-one what WVU Mountain-eer pride is really all about,” Burns said.

Pumpkins went flying for the 27th year in a row on West Virginia University’s Evans-dale campus Friday for the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources’ annual pumpkin drop.

The competition aims to teach engineering concepts by letting students design an enclosure to protect pump-kins from damage when dropped from a roof and hosted teams from West Vir-ginia and Pennsylvania. The surviving pumpkins that are closest to the target on the ground are announced as winners.

“The pumpkin drop is a once-a-year adventure for these kids. They wait for it to come. They keep asking me when it’s going to hap-

pen,” said John Post, a re-tired teacher from Dodridge County, W.Va.

The event was sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers chap-ter at WVU. Proceeds from the event benefit the Ronald McDonald House in Morgan-town, W.Va.

The event hosted record number of 327 teams this

year. Another record was also broken when 81 pumpkins survived the 11-story drop from the top of the Engineer-ing Sciences Building.

A team from Frankfort High School in Ridgeley, W.Va. won the event. Team 164, made up of students Josh Richmond, Austin My-

It’s official: ESPN Col-lege GameDay is headed to Morgantown this Saturday for the Texas Christian Uni-versity football game. Tele-vised on ABC, the event will air live at 9 a.m. from the Mountainlair Green be-fore the 3:30 p.m. game.

WVU students rushed to social media to display their excitement about the announcement, and some students have even begun to camp out on the Green.

Juniors Andy Thomas, Brittany Brown, An-drew Osborne and senior

Tommy Skinner were the first group of students to pitch a tent in anticipation for Gameday tickets. The four plan to rotate being on the Green in shifts this week so they can go to their classes but still be the first into the event.

“Three years ago, Col-lege GameDay came here with LSU and we saw how packed it was within the first couple days so we want to be number one,” Thomas said. “We wanted to be out here as fast as we can and get the first tickets.”

WVU GameDay will be hosted by ESPN broad-caster Chris Fowler and will include analysts Lee

Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Des-mond Howard and David Pollack. The reporters will include Scott Van Pelt, Sa-mantha Ponder, Tom Rin-aldi, George Whitfield and Gene Wojciechowski.

Thomas said he and his friends plan to show the world who the Mountain-eers really are.

“We want to show-case that we aren’t a crazy school that is going to tear up everything. We want to be respectful Mountain-eers,” he said.

Although WVU is ranked No. 20 in the nation right now and will be up against No. 10 TCU, Skinner said that the Mountaineers will

pull through. “Is that even a question?

We are going to beat TCU. That’s an absolute fact,” he said.

College GameDay broke the plans of coming to Morgantown via its official Twitter account. The tweet has been retweeted more than 8,000 times and favor-ited more than 3,600 times.

“Being a Mountaineer means everything. It’s a spirit, it’s a brotherhood amongst students,” Skin-ner said. “We are a commu-nity, we are a family and we are going to prove that this weekend. Let’s go ‘Eers.”

The West Virginia Uni-versity Reed College of Me-dia hosted a Hackathon for women from both the Uni-versity and multiple insti-tutions around the country this past weekend.

Cosponsored by PBS Me-diaShift, “Hack the Gender Gap: A Women’s Hackathon on Wearables” was held to educate women about the wide range of opportunities in the technology industry, through friendly competi-tion, as well as allow them to hear from distinguished speakers and network with one another.

“It’s been a great experi-ence. It’s been fun for me to work with people who I just met and then all of a sud-den you have to get really close and learn to work to-gether and accept different ideas and think about how you can all work together

to complete your mission,” said Nayana Davis, a grad-uate student from George-town University.

The Hackathon centered around participants split-ting up into eight teams that included faculty members and a mentor. Those teams came up with a solution, or use for wearable technol-ogy like Google Glass.

The teams worked throughout the day Satur-day and on Sunday morn-ing to come up with a so-lution, process or concept, and then pitched it to the judges Sunday afternoon. To pick a winner, the judges based the criteria on desir-ability, feasibility and via-bility of the product.

“It’s a tough challenge. We are dealing with wear-able devices which is not something that’s fully in-tegrated in culture quite yet,” Davis said. “There’s a subset of people who know about it but for the major-ity of people who don’t use

these things, including my-self, it’s been kind of tough to think of something that I don’t use in my every day life.”

The event kicked off Fri-day evening with a sympo-sium hosted at the Google Headquarters in Silicon Valley that comprised of five female leaders in the technology industry. The Hackathon participants at the Reed College were able to interact with the panel-ists and discuss topics like the wage gape between fe-males and males as well as the controversial hot topic of companies paying for their employees’ egg freezing.

Throughout the week-end, the participants also heard presentations from a number of female leaders from around the country: Umbreen Bhatti, a lawyer and a 2014 John S. Knight Fellow at Stanford Univer-sity; Hilary Topper, pres-ident and CEO of HJMT

Public Relations Inc.; Nikki Bowman, the founder and owner of New South Me-dia, Inc.; and Mindy Walls, interim director of the En-vironment and Energy Resource Management program.

Bowman, a West Vir-ginia native who built her own business from her life savings and now publishes WV Living, WV Weddings, West Virginia Focus and Explore and Morgantown magazines, told partici-pants to always be persis-tent in making their dreams come true.

She said she wakes up every day with this quote in mind: “Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, ‘Oh crap, she’s up!’”

Jinny Kim, a freshman decision science student from Carnegie Mellon Uni-versity, said she thinks the event was a success.

“It’s been a cool expe-

rience and I’ve definitely learned a lot. I really en-joyed how us girls here met because we all share in-terests of emerging tech-nology even though our primary interests may be really different,” she said.

During their first trips to Morgantown, both Kim and Davis agreed that they en-

joyed the area. “Morgantown’s really

great. I think you hear ste-reotypes about West Vir-ginia and I had never really spent any time here,” Davis said. “It was nice for me to discover that it’s actually a pretty hip area.”

volunteers were divided into groups and dispersed throughout campus to clean up the city of Morgantown’s streets.

The clean up event was co-sponsored by the United Way of Monongalia and Pres-ton Counties and the Cen-ter for Service and Learning at WVU. Among the student volunteers were the Moun-taineer Maniacs, Sigma Nu members and Sigma Alpha Epsilon members.

Alexis McMillen, the pro-gram coordinator for the Center for Service and Learn-ing, said her team works to-gether to organize service events for the community.

“We help organize this event every year, and I’m pretty happy with today’s turnout. We really wanted to get off of campus and show people what Mountaineers are really about,” McMillen said. “My job is to identify real community needs and I think this is a great exam-ple of that. A lot of students aren’t used to doing ser-vice, but then they realize af-ter volunteering that it really isn’t that bad.”

In response to the riots that occurred after WVU’s win against Baylor, the Stu-dent Government Associa-tion launched a “Respectful Mountaineer,” campaign. Make a Difference Day served as another way for Mountaineers to show what they are capable of.

George Capel, the direc-tor of alumni relations for the SGA, said the riots might have inspired some students to volunteer.

“We are sweeping up glass, cigarette butts and anything that appears harmful to the look of the community. We are trying to get the major area that has been affected from the riots that happened last weekend,” Capel said. “However, we are also loo-ing at the city as a whole. We don’t want people to be un-der the impression that every WVU student is okay with the look of the riots, because we are not. We are students. The city of Morgantown is our home, and we want to keep it nice for everyone.”

Other students volun-teered simply because they were looking for a way to help out.

“My friends and I just wanted to help the commu-nity and do our part here. We found out about the event through our frater-nity and thought it would be a great way to give back to the school,” said Con-ner Boyd, a freshman at WVU.

“I got an email from (the) Mountaineer Maniacs and thought, ‘Why not help out?’ It didn’t take me long to vol-unteer. I was looking for a way to get involved and thought this was a good way,” said Christina Jacko, a fresh-man at WVU.

President E. Gordon Gee said students making a dif-ference is not unheard of at WVU.

“Morgantown is one of the nation’s greatest institu-tions and we need to respect it. This is not abnormal, this is normal,” Gee said. “This is what our students do every-day, all the time, and I think it is important for people to know that our students do remarkable things in a re-markable way.”

Steve Orlowski, presi-dent of the Mountaineer Maniacs, said he was im-pressed with the turnout of students.

“It’s unbelievable that this many students came out to-day. They’re truly showing that they are about this cam-paign as a whole,” Orlowski said. “They felt like it was the perfect opportunity to make a difference after the riots and destruction.”

Groups at WVU are in the process of discussing Sun-day’s “after-game clean-ups.”

the best, that we’re going to win. I think that (is) one of the things we need to teach our students,” Gee said.

Criminal behavior, such as throwing things and at-tacking people, is what Gee considers grounds for ex-pulsion and are examples of where the University draws the line. He said it is disappointing for him to have to punish people who

do cross that line.“I love every one of these

students. I feel like every-one is part of my family. I have sort of a father’s dis-appointment and cer-tainly a friend’s disap-pointment,” Gee said. “My intent and this Univer-sity’s intent is not to ruin anyone’s life. I believe in the law of forgiveness, but that is a road they are going to have to work on with the University to make certain redemption can occur.”

Although many believe

WVU has a “party school” image, Gee said he does not believe the University is a party school and that many of its students do not believe so either.

“I believe we are a place of great spirit and great en-thusiasm. I think that we embrace the notion that we are a wonderfully di-verse place,” Gee said. “We are a place in which you can work hard and play hard and have great success.”

ers, Branson Catlett, Nathan Strietbeck, Andrew Crist, John Rowland, Hunter Witt, Kam-eron Bolinger and Garrett Grose, had a pumpkin that landed six inches from the target, earning them the $100 first prize.

Second place was claimed by team 212 from Morgan-town’s Suncrest Middle School. The pumpkin from “The Scephanos,” which in-cluded Zoe Vannoy, Bri Maxwell and Nicole Liang,

landed one foot from the tar-get, earning them the $50 prize.

“It’s just a lot of fun watch-ing the kids pushing their boxes off and helping them,” said Chuck Coleman, an en-gineering lab instructor at WVU.

The pumpkin drop is a way to incorporate fun into educa-tion and has become tradition for many students in the area to look forward to each year.

The talk box changed my life. It is an effects pedal that allows a musician to mimic vocal nuances through an electric gui-tar via a tube placed in the musician’s mouth.

Peter Frampton used the talk box in his live record-ing of the song “Do You Feel Like We do?” off of the “Frampton Comes Alive!” album in 1976.

During the 13-minute performance, Frampton gives a shoutout to, “Bob Mayo on the keyboards.” This is where the magic happens. Mayo plays a jazzy riff as you sense the crowd’s excitement, while Frampton gets ready to use the talk box. The growing anticipation of the crowd is

nearly tangible. Then, you hear the alien squawking of Frampton’s guitar, and the audience erupts. A metal-lic voice speaks aloud, the likes of which mainstream rock had yet to hear.

I remember sitting in my mom’s purple Jeep the first time I heard this song. It was the anticipation that got me. At approximately seven years old, I experi-enced the beauty of gui-tar transcending pickups and amps into full-blown sentience.

I would like to thank Pe-ter Frampton for getting me into music. Music has been a very important part of my life. The Beatles gave me a lighthearted, adventur-ous childhood. The White Stripes and The Pixies gave me an outlet during my teenage years. Music has been with me through my highs and lows. It means

more than just playing riffs in my apartment in be-tween classes.

People would be better off if music were a bigger part of their lives.

For instance, music bet-ters people’s minds. Gott-fried Schlaug of Harvard University conducted re-search on the cognitive effects of musical train-ing. His studies indicate a strong relation between ex-posing children to musical training and improvements in verbal ability, nonverbal reasoning, enhanced mo-tor and auditory skills.

Laurel Trainer, of the In-stitute for Music and the Mind at McMaster Univer-sity in West Hamilton, On-tario, found that regularly taking music lessons en-hanced the brain’s auditory cortex. Improved memory and attention spans were seen in those who were

more musically active.Relatable examples of

these studies include your ability to memorize all the words to entire songs or the discipline it takes to dedi-cate a substantial amount of time attempting to per-fect Busta Rhymes’ in-sanely fast verse in “Look At Me Now.”

Music also gives you an avenue for creativity. What can start out as strumming a few chords in succession on a guitar can turn into your very own song. Craft-ing the words into songs or even just playing some-thing that sounds good to you can help more than you think.

It has been clinically proven that music en-ables people to handle the stresses of their lives more efficiently. Music provides a unique language to work through your issues with,

even if you do not know all the words.

The best part about mu-sic is it does not require you to experience its effects alone. Sharing is a virtue, and music offers an invalu-able segue. For example, there is always that mo-ment where you connect with a friend and get hyped when your song comes on.

Even better, you can jam with that friend and feel like rockstars. Bands are fun because you are given the opportunity to reach out to others and share something special. They are a team outside of sports where you win even if you lose because you are out to have fun. Unless you have a Yoko in your midst.

Most importantly, all the effects of music are not re-stricted to an age. For ex-ample, I still feel chills

everytime I hear Peter Frampton shredding after 10 plus years and probably will forever. Additionally, take a look at Bruce Spring-steen and Paul McCartney. Those guys are so old they get senior citizen discounts at restaurants, yet they still rock on.

I am not saying that ev-erybody needs to be the next Jimi Hendrix or Billy Joel, but music is worth a shot. It only offers a wealth of positives to your life. Whether it be singing in your car with the win-dows up or playing the pi-ano at your grandmother’s house, you should give mu-sic a try. In the words of The Rolling Stones, “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try some-time, you just might find you get what you need.”

Let me save you all the trouble of interpretation and state my opinion up front: I am not a fan of tattoos.

When friends ask me my thoughts on the quote, cross, anchor or other what-have-you they’re want to get stabbed into their skin, I smile uncomfortably and shrug. “It’s your body,” I mut-ter lamely, such a politically correct thing to say. I’m sure deep down they know how much I think this is a bad decision.

But much like most of my opinions, it doesn’t matter. It’s their body, and however they’d like to treat it or deco-rate it is up to them.

But lately I’ve been think-ing about the dark abyss that is my future. The huge deci-sion coming up about what, exactly, I’m supposed to do with myself after college.

I started thinking about my image – does my Face-book make me look clever and interesting, or just like a typical 21-year-old college girl? I am meticulous when it

comes to my social media; I can’t remember the last time I used a curse word in a tweet or was tagged in a picture with a tell-tale red Solo cup.

Mostly this is because I spend my Friday nights sit-ting in my bedroom and writ-ing opinion columns for you to read. But it’s also because I am paranoid that anything that makes me appear less than stellar, less than job ma-terial, will destroy my care-fully-laid career plans.

Is it fair that employers have such an in-depth look at our lives to judge us as po-tential employees? Yes and no. There’s a fair amount an individual should be able to express, yet what is expressed may fly in the face of a corpo-ration’s image or policy.

It is a truth, universally ac-knowledged, that a single in-dividual in possession of a noticeable tattoo will face some issues getting into the work force.

Granted, there are the artsy jobs or just the straight-up chill ones who don’t care that you have a cross on your wrist or a rose on your foot. Some probably won’t even ask you to cover it up with your clothes or whatever that

weird tattoo erasing putty is (and does that stuff really even work?).

But there are career paths where visible tattoos are a detriment, and perhaps this is for a good reason.

Of course, there’s a dif-ference between the notice-able tattoos and the more obscure ones. Typically that heart tramp stamp you got over spring break will never see the light of day in your job - unless you’ve chosen a particularly interesting ca-reer cluster.

Many claim being turned down for a job because of body art or even piercings is discrimination, which I sup-pose it is.

But remember to think about what a tattoo means. There’s something about them that screams imma-ture. They show a lack of foresight, because even if it’s not cool to be turned down for your dream job for deco-rating your body with peace signs and pin-up girls, the fact remains that you chose to have something perma-nently installed onto your body. You did this knowing there is a bias against tattoos in the workforce, and you did

it anyway.That is why you may be

turned down for a job. Just as with everything else, there is a stereotype associated with a tattoo that you will carry around for the rest of your life.

There is a decent chance you will be considered irre-

sponsible. A little bit reckless. Maybe a rash thinker.

I know tattoos are a form of expression. I know not every boy I see with an arm sleeve is going to mug me - not every girl with an “I re-fuse to sink” tattoo is going to be vapid.

But unfortunately these

are the assumptions tacked on to having a tattoo.

As soon as that needle pierces your skin you will be forever marked, and not just with that rad tribal symbol you shelled out a hundred bucks for.

WVU should sponsor celebrations

Few things excite Mor-gantown, W.Va., specifi-cally students at West Vir-ginia University, like a Mountaineer football win. Students leave the stadium with much energy and ex-citement, but have few op-tions for spending it.

Students want to cele-brate and the University wants students to behave, so there has to be a mid-dle ground. The University needs to implement some type of celebration to en-gage students after home football games.

Burning couches, which

endangers students, prop-erty and other bystanders, seems to be one of the most popular forms of celebra-tion. Students could bene-fit from a school sanctioned bonfire or burning of some type.

Other universities such as The University of Mary-land and fellow Big 12 member Texas Tech Uni-versity, have controlled, school sanctioned fires to give students a place to gather and celebrate big wins.

This would allow a pop-ular form of celebration to

be done in a safe, appropri-ate manner. Students could congregate and expend their energy before things could get out of hand.

Not only would this make things easier for students, but also the University and the City. Less damage would be done to property if students were in a con-trolled environment.

The University would have less of a mess to clean up as well. Students’ riot-ing and destructive behav-ior leaves a trail of not only physical, but also a media related mess. The Univer-

sity is forced to spend time and resources reacting to events that could poten-tially be prevented with an alternative set by itself.

Morgantown officials and emergency personnel would have less damage and fewer headaches.

An issue that arises when trying to create an event such as this is space. With most of the WVU campus within city limits it may be hard to allow for a bonfire. However, there are some vi-able options.

Students have gathered on the Mountainlair Green

for events such as Fall Fest before. This allows for a lot of room and a centralized location for students to get to. Buses run from the Evansdale campus to the downtown campus until 3 a.m. for students who live there as well.

Alcohol abuse has also been a common factor in criminal behavior. Stu-dents are going to drink, or find a way to drink, no mat-ter what is done. Allowing students who are of age to do so in a safe and policed place is a lot better than policing city streets for the

belligerently drunk. While a bonfire is one

among many options, something needs to be done for the protection of students, the University and the City as a whole.

This Saturday, Morgan-town will have the pleasure of hosting ESPN’s College Game. Win or lose, students will be excited and ready to party that evening. Rowdy celebrations are inevitable, wouldn’t it be better if stu-dents had a safe and enjoy-able alternative?

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Born today This year you have an unusual opportunity to expand your horizons and meet new peo-ple. You are likely to make a commit-ment to an organization, which will make you feel accomplished. You are in a period where you’ll be capable of manifesting more of your desires. If you are single, you will have many choices to make. Keep in mind what kind of relationship you are looking for. If you are attached, you will be more content within your relation-ship than you have been in many years. LEO knows how to push you too far.

ARIES (MARch 21-ApRIl 19) HHHHH The unexpected could create a challenge and force you down a new path. An associate will have a lot to say, and he or she could

be determined to speak up. You’ll be-come more upbeat once your cre-ativity kicks. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (ApRIl 20-MAy 20) HHHH If you are willing to defer to a loved one, everything will proceed in a most congenial manner. People flourish with trust, and you can be very trusting. A conversation with a family member could be more posi-tive than you might have expected it to be. Tonight: Check in with a friend.

G E M I N I ( M Ay 21- J U N E 20) HHHHH You know what you want, and you’ll have persuasive powers today. You might want to use them when dealing with a partner whose opinions often differ from yours. It could seem as if nearly everything you say is right-on. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s suggestion.

c A N c E R ( J U N E 21- J U ly 22) HHHHH Know your limits with someone you interact with daily. This person won’t be rude if you make a suggestion, but he or she might not work with you as easily as you might like. Your expectations seem to exceed his or her ability to create the desired results. Tonight: Order in.

lEO (JUly 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You are unusually fortunate right now, and you seem to smile your way right through a problem. You blend creativity and communication well. Others appreciate your ability to help them see the big picture. Tonight: Let a loved one inspire you.

V I R G O ( AU G. 23- S E p T. 22) HHHHH Someone who you relate to closely might surprise you with his or her unpredictability. You are likely to start tossing aside some of your

self-imposed restrictions if you con-tinue hanging out with this person. Tonight: Mosey on home; you have a lot to sort through.

lIBRA (SEpT. 23-OcT. 22) HHHH Don’t hesitate to ask questions in order to verify what you’ve heard. Your positive vibes will set the tone for others right now. Drop the words “no” and “impos-sible” from your vocabulary; you’ll see what a difference it can make. Tonight: Return calls, then decide.

ScORpIO (OcT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Resist a tendency to overthink. You might decide to take action before a problem happens. In that case, you will be able to relax more easily. A loved one might inspire you to take off with him or her -- if not today, then soon. Tonight: Buy a treat.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEc. 21) HHHHH You’ll perk up with the mention of a great idea. You seem energized, and, fortunately for oth-ers, this exuberance will be conta-gious. A meeting easily could turn into a gossip session. You might want to listen more carefully. To-night: Others are highly responsive.

cApRIcORN (DEc. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Slow down, and take a closer look at what others are doing. Someone you look up to might have a lot to share. You intuitively will know what to say and do. Financial dealings with others will be highly favored. If you feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket. Tonight: Screen calls.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH A meeting could be un-usually successful. You know what

you want, and a strong romance might be the result. Be willing to let go some of your rigidity, and see the world through fresh eyes. Tonight: Make a special gesture to-ward a love one.

pIScES (FEB. 19-MARch 20) HHH You might feel as if you must do what someone asks. You’ll have your reasons for saying “no,” but how solid are they? You might want to figure that out before you agree to anything. Communicate your feel-ings in a way that a loved one will hear. Tonight: Go for what you want.

@AmdEnArdo

Mountaineer Week started off strong Satur-day night with this year’s Appalachian-style Fiddle Contest.

As the Gluck Theatre in the Mountainlair filled to the brim with a crowd al-most exclusively made up of non-students, the sounds of practicing fiddlers leaked in from all directions.

At 7:40 p.m., JP Crandall, a member of the Mountain-eer Week Committee, intro-duced the show’s MC for the night. Travis Stimeling, an assistant professor of music history at the WVU School of Music and West Virginia native, took his place at the podium to get the contest started.

Stimeling stated the rules and expectations of the competition, introduced the judges and revealed the $1,450 in cash prizes that were up for grabs, spon-sored by the College of Cre-ative Arts.

Some of the best fid-dlers in the mountain state made up the panel of judges: Bobby Taylor of Dunbar, W.Va.; Kim John-son of Clendenin, W.Va. and Andrew Dunlap of St. Albans, W.Va. The judges had to judge each fiddler in five areas, which were tonal quality, timing and rythym, compexity, expression and old-time style. Each fiddler was required to play two songs, one of their choice and a Heritage tune that originated in West Virginia. Each set was allowed one accompanist.

The show began with Sel-vie Pearson of Warren, Pa., in the youth category, ac-companied by Scott Pear-son. The youngest in the competition, Selvie Pear-son lit up the whole room with his smile, enthusiasm and impressive control of his instrument. He placed third in the youth category of the competition.

Third to take the stage was Erynn Marshall of Galax, Va., accompanied by gui-tar. Her pleasant demeanor and expressions made her set both fun to listen to and watch. She played “Queen of the Earth Skies,” and her Heritage tune was “Wash-ington’s March,” a song she chose to remember her mentor, Woody Simmons.

After a few more fiddlers, 95-year-old Elmer Rich of Westover, W.Va., took the

stage to compete in the se-nior category. Rich was loved by the audience as he played old-time tunes passed down by his father. In 2007, Rich won the very first Heritage Award. This year, he came in third place overall.

Aubrey Pearson, also of Warren, Pa., played for the youth category. She won first place for her age group with her performance of “Cuckoo’s Nest.”

Directly after, David Aste, of Morgantown, W.Va., who won second place in the adult category of the com-petition, played “Dev-il’s Hornpipe” and “Nail That Catfish to a Tree.” His silly stage presence and performance-style and natural fiddling abil-ity was hard to compete with.

Eleven-year-old Silas Powell of Salem, W.Va., came onto the stage with a unique fashion sense and determined look. He beautifully performed “Jo-esphine’s Waltz,” then picked it up with “Whiskey for Rebels.” He placed sec-ond in his category.

Cathy Pearson, also of Warren, Pa., grew up in Marion County, W.Va.. She played “Birdie” and “Red-bird.” Cathy Pearson had great technique. She and Marshall were called back up onto the stage before the final scores were tallied to settle a tie. While I think Marshall was a more emo-tive fiddler, Pearson came in fourth place, leaving Mar-shall with fifth.

The first place winner in of the competition was West Virginia native John Morris,

who played “Camp Chase” and also went home with the 2014 Heritage Award.

While the cash prizes in the contest were a big at-traction for fiddle players, the Mountaineer Week Fid-dle Contest is not just about the money. The most im-portant part of the contest is spreading the message that traditional Appalachian music is still alive and well in West Virginia.

When the contest ended, audience members had the opportunity to experience more mountain music with a performance by the Hill-billy Gypsies in the food court.

Mountaineer Week will focus on music, folklore, food and more throughout this week.

Time to keep the flow

goingIf you would’ve told me

at the beginning of the season that West Virgin-ia’s matchup against No. 10 TCU on Saturday would be the game of the week and host of ESPN’s College Gameday, I would’ve said, “You’re insane.”

After both the Moun-taineers (6-2, 4-1 Big 12) and Horned Frogs (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) experienced Big 12 growing pains their first two seasons in the con-ference, both teams are in position to claim the con-ference title with a win Saturday.

A season ago, West Vir-ginia and TCU both went 4-8 and appeared to be nowhere close to gaining conference prominence anytime soon. West Vir-ginia head coach Dana Holgorsen’s seat became uncomfortably warm af-ter collapsing down the stretch in 2012 and failing to field a winning team last season. Some critics were skeptical that TCU could even compete in the Big 12 after last season’s campaign.

Never theless, both teams are coming off big conference wins and en-tering Saturday’s pivotal matchup with title hopes. After fielding one of the most stagnant offenses in team history last sea-son, TCU hung 82 points on Texas Tech over the weekend, including seven touchdown passes by ju-nior quarterback Trevone Boykin.

The Horned Frogs of-fense racked up 785 yards of total offense and out-scored the Red Raiders 45-7 in the second half.

However, I am confi-dent West Virginia defen-sive coordinator Tony Gib-son will have a game plan to stymie TCU’s revived of-fensive attack.

Despite surrendering 436 yards to Oklahoma State, the Mountain-eers’ defense played great bend-but-don’t-break de-fense and got stops when it needed it most. True fresh-man safety Dravon Henry continues to get better ev-ery week, which is a very encouraging sign for WVU fans.

Both West Virginia and TCU might be two of the hottest teams in the nation at the moment, and both teams are very similar of-fensively and defensively. TCU’s up-tempo, spread offense is No. 2 in the na-tion in total yards behind Baylor, and the Mountain-eers are No. 10. While the Horned Frogs run a 4-2-5 base defense that ranks No. 52 in total defense, West Virginia’s 3-3 stack defense is No. 58.

Saturday’s matchup in Morgantown figures to be electric. The last time West Virginia hosted Col-lege Gameday, the Moun-taineers fell to LSU, 47-21. However, anyone who was there to witness the atmo-sphere can attest to West Virginia’s home field ad-vantage behind 60,000 Mountaineer fans.

TCU head coach Gary Patterson will have his team ready to play, but I like WVU’s veteran lead squad behind redshirt se-nior quarterback Clint Trickett, to take care of business at home. The Mountaineers looked un-fazed against Oklahoma State, and although their offense struggled at times against the Cowboys, I be-lieve Trickett, and the of-fense will hit their stride this week.

One thing’s for sure: You don’t want to play West Virginia at home right now.

No. 22 West Virginia pulls away in second half in Stillwater, beats Oklahoma State

Find us on Facebook

by connor murraysports editor

@connorkmurray

Stillwater, Okla. – At the beginning of the 2014 sea-son, reaching bowl eligibil-ity seemed like it would be a major accomplishment for the Mountaineers. The way the season has gone, how-ever, No. 22 West Virginia’s sixth win of the season, a 34-10 road victory against Okla-homa State, could be just a footnote in a much grander script.

Led by a second-straight dominant effort from its de-fense, West Virginia won its fourth-straight conference game, moved its Big 12 re-cord to 4-1 and holds its conference title destiny in its hands.

“There wasn’t anything easy about it. It was a lot more challenging than the final score indicated. I think everybody agrees with that,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen.

“We won the turnover bat-tle, which was good. We were excited about that. Obviously our defense played well. Third down (defense) once again was off the charts.”

Off the charts may even be selling it short. The Moun-taineers held Oklahoma State to a 2-for-15 success rate on third down and 1-for-5 on fourth down.

Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson received plenty of praise after West Virgin-ia’s upset of then-No. 4 Bay-lor, which came to Morgan-town with the No. 1 offense in the nation. The Mountain-eer defense was even more imposing Saturday, keeping the Cowboy offense under wraps, especially in the sec-

ond half.Even with starting cor-

nerback Terrell Chestnut sidelined and a less than 100 percent Daryl Worley seeing significant work in the scorching Oklahoma heat, WVU’s defense held the Cowboys to just six first downs, 66 passing yards and spent just 11:35 in the final 30 minutes of play.

“I just think the whole team grinds. I think that’s our mentality now. We don’t ever get flustered. Some of our coaches asked ‘Why are you guys so calm?’ We have a business-like approach to these games now,” said de-fensive end Kyle Rose.

“We’ve been through ev-ery experience, every ad-versity in the game and I just don’t think there is any-thing that fazes us now. At any point of the game we’re solid.”

West Virginia’s run game was especially solid today. Starting running back Rushel Shell did not play because of a foot injury he sustained against Baylor, but it didn’t matter. Sophomore Wendell Smallwood chalked up his second-career 100-yard per-formance, carrying the ball 23 times for 134 yards.

“He’s another fast guy. He’s in there taking hits. He just keeps going. I’m proud of him. He’s going to be a great player in the years to come,” said quarterback Clint Trickett.

Smallwood averaged more than five yards per carry and helped West Vir-ginia dominate the flow of play. The Mountaineers con-trolled the clock throughout the second half behind a gritty effort from their offen-sive line.

“Those guys are tough. There were a lot of situations where we had numbers to be able to run it. We called the right plays. Clint got us into the right plays,” Holgorsen said.

“I’ve been in a lot of of-fenses where we’ve had body for body with people in the box and we can’t run it. So now, in order to stop the run they’ve got to add people, which opens up the pass game. I think those guys played well up front.”

With bowl eligibility in their back pocket, the Moun-taineers’ focus now shifts to a titanic matchup with ma-jor conference champion-ship implications against No. 10 TCU in Morgantown next week.

WVU defense stays strong for second straight weekby anthony pecoraro

associate sports editor @pecorarowvunews

The then-No. 22 West Virginia Mountaineers stormed into Stillwa-ter Okla. Saturday and si-lenced the Oklahoma State Cowboys in all ways.

Though the Mountain-eers’ (6-2, 4-1 big 12) of-fense showed up and ran the ball all over the Cow-boys (5-3, 3-2 Big 12), West Virginia’s defense showed just how much of an im-provement they’ve made from a year ago in its domi-

nance against the Cowboys.Following the Mountain-

eers’ fourth-straight vic-tory, Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said the im-provements he’s seen out of the WVU defense this year have been tremendous and could not be more proud of his players, knowing the setbacks they’ve encoun-tered over the past couple of seasons.

“Our kids are playing with extreme confidence right now, and these kids needed that after what they’ve been through the last two years on defense.

I’m really pleased with our progression and where we’re at,” Gibson said.

“It’s easy to call defense when you have guys that are hungry and believe in it and go out and perform the way they do every week.”

Since WVU has en-tered the Big 12 in 2012, the Mountaineers have had at least one defensive touchdown on the Cow-boys in each of their three matchups.

Saturday also marked the first day West Virginia scored a defensive touch-down this season off a stel-

lar interception play made by true freshman safety Dravon Henry, as he in-tercepted Cowboys’ quar-terback Daxx Garman for the second time on the day, and returned the in-terception for a 53-yard touchdown.

Gibson said although Henry may be a freshman, with the amount of play-ing time he has had and the abilities Gibson sees in him, Henry is nearly play-ing at junior year status already.

“That guy (Henry) has played against three top-

five teams. He’s played about every snap of the season, so he’s about a junior right now with as many snaps as he’s gotten,” he said.

“I’m just so happy for him because he wants to be great, (and) I just love his whole attitude and ev-erything about him. It was finally good for our kids to get some turnovers and put some points on the board.”

WVU was able to hold Oklahoma State to 2-15 on third down conversions – something head coach Dana Holgorsen said was

huge for his team.“We won the turnover

battle, which was good,” he said. “Excited about that (and) obviously our de-fense played well. Third downs once again (were) off the charts.”

As West Virginia pre-pares for No. 10 TCU Satur-day at home, the challenges faced will be on all three sides of the ball for the Mountaineers, especially considering TCU put up 82 points in its victory against Texas Tech Saturday.

West Virginia drops match to no. 22 Kansas Stateby nicole cUrtin

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia Uni-versity volleyball team dropped its five-set match against No. 22 Kansas State Saturday, 3-2, to the Wildcats.

With set scores of 29-27, 23-25, 21-25, 25-23 and 12-15, the Mountaineers were fighting hard to bring home a win.

In an interview with WVUSports.com, head coach Jill Kramer said her team’s effort did not go unnoticed.

“I’m really proud of the performance we had to-day,” Kramer said.

“When we were practic-ing before this, we talked about how this was going to be a team effort. Suzie (Fritz) and her staff are re-

ally good at what they do. You can tell they have a re-ally great system, and they work well within it. For us to play as well as we did against a healthy sound Kansas State is great for us.”

Leading for WVU was ju-nior Nikki Attea, who had a career-high 25 kills, fol-lowed by Jordan Ander-son with 21, and Hannah Shreve and Evyn McCoy hitting 10 on the match. Anderson and Attea both recorded a double-double, with Anderson digging 13 balls and Attea 12.

The Mountaineers hit for .263 on the match with a total of 78 kills, against the Wildcats .294, who were led by Kylee Zumach with 24 kills, and Katie Reininger with 17. West Virginia posted 10 team blocks lead by six block assists and a solo block from McCoy.

Setters Lamprini Kon-stantinidou and Brittany Sample split their time on the court, giving Konstan-tinidou a chance to put up 42 assists, while Sample gave out 22 along with six digs. Gianna Gotterba put up a career-high 21 digs, and Anna Panagiotakopou-los contributed 10.

In set one, Attea hit for .643 with nine kills help-ing the team hitting per-centage of .229. The ral-lies went back and forth, until WVU tied up the set before Kansas State took a four-point run, giving them a 15-11 lead. The Wildcats had two errors, and Ander-son put down a kill to close the gap, 16-15.

Kansas State pulled away again bringing the score to 19-15 before Hannah Sack-ett and Anderson brought WVU within one at 23-22.

Set point was given back and forth on serving until K-State had a ball handling error and Attea had another kill giving WVU a 29-27 set win.

Set two was another story. While Attea and Mc-Coy combined for seven kills, West Virginia had seven attacking errors, giving the Wildcats easy points. The Mountaineers gained their biggest lead at 12-8 and then pushing from kills by Sackett and Shreve to make it 15-11.

Kansas State scored six unanswered points, putting them in front of WVU, and they would take the set 25-23, tying the match at 1-1.

West Virginia came out to fight in set three hit-ting for .316 and posting three blocks, but it was not enough. The Wildcats took an early 9-3 lead and

continued to rally until the score was 16-7. Scoring four straight including two kills from Anderson, WVU cut the score to 19-14, while Attea and Anderson fought to keep their chance alive.

Kansas State put down one last kill on set point, giving them the third set at 25-21 and putting them ahead in the match, 2-1. In set four, the Mountaineers had a total of 18 kills, hitting for .282. Anderson and At-tea scored two points giving West Virginia a 7-5 lead, be-fore Shreve paired with An-derson and Konstantinidou to block two in a row, pull-ing ahead 14-11.

K-State then scored three straight and tied the set, to again score three more in a row, taking a lead of 20-18. With two kills from At-tea and some rallying back and forth, the score was

tied again 23-23. The Wild-cats had a serving error giv-ing WVU the ball and set point advantage, which An-derson took, taking the 25-23 win.

In set five, K-State took an early 8-5 lead, and West Virginia tied it up. The Wildcats came back lead-ing 12-8. Attea and McCoy both had an effort in clos-ing the gap with a block and a kill from McCoy, but Kansas State came out of a time out and scored the fi-nal point, taking the set 15-12 and the match 3-2.

WVU will be on the road this week and head out to Fort Worth, Texas to take on TCU at 5 p.m. Wednesday, and then travel to Norman, Okla. to face Oklahoma, Saturday for a couple of Big 12 rematches.

The West Virginia Uni-versity swimming and div-ing team ground out a split in a dual meet with Villa-nova University Saturday.

The men’s team, led by strong performances from Andrew Marsh, Nate Carr and Max Spencer – who each had multiple indi-vidual victories – surged to a 174-85 win, bouncing back from a 145-98 defeat at the hands of Penn State Friday.

“The men swam well,

and overall we had some solid swims today,” said head coach Vic Riggs af-ter the meet. “Andrew and Nate continue to swim at a high level, and Max is im-proving every meet.”

Meanwhile, the women dropped their second meet in a row, falling 146-116, two days after their 144-99 defeat to the Nit-tany Lions.

Although the women’s swim team showcased some strong individual performances, Riggs said he felt they failed to seize the opportunity to take a win Saturday.

“It was a disappointing loss for the women,” Riggs said. “We definitely had our chances to take con-trol in a few events, and we missed those chances.”

The women were led by seniors Jenelle Zee, who claimed victories in the 100- and 200-yard breast-stroke, and Julie Ogden, who won the 100- and 200-yard butterfly. Junior Emma Skelley also scored a big win in the 1,000-yard freestyle, after two first-place finishes against Penn State.

The women dominated the butterfly events, tak-

ing three out of the top four places in both races.

Marsh continued his hot streak to start the sea-son, with three individual wins. With top freestyle swimmer Tim Squires out with an illness, Marsh stepped up to finish first in the 50-yard freestyle, along with victories in the 50-yard backstroke and the 50-yard butterfly. Marsh won the 100-yard freestyle against Penn State, and before that won five individual events at the West Virginia State Games.

After two individual

wins against Penn State, Carr won the 200-yard freestyle and the 200-yard individual medley on Saturday. Spencer won the 50-yard and 100-yard backstroke, and freshman Pierce Bradshaw excelled in the distance freestyle events, finishing first in the 500-yard and 1,000-yard freestyles.

WVU men’s teams won both of the relays they competed in – the 200-yard medley relay and the 200-yard freestyle re-lay. In addition, the WVU women’s “A” team of Ame-lie Currat, Jenelle Zee, Ju-

McCarver still analyzing series, now from home

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – For more than a quarter-century Tim McCarver was as much a part of October baseball as champagne celebrations.

On three networks, across four decades with four dif-ferent play–by–play part-ners, McCarver was a near constant on the World Series soundtrack with his unique style as an analyst and famil-iar Tennessee twang.

McCarver had been on the job for every World Se-ries since 2000 before going on semiretirement after last year’s Fall Classic and being replaced in the Fox booth by Tom Verducci and Harold Reynolds. McCarver called 24 World Series overall, in-cluding all but two since 1989.

But this October, McCarver is experiencing the Series just like millions of other viewers by watching back home in Florida instead of his usual spot in the broadcast booth.

“When you’re working you’re so immersed in your work that you’re trying to put on a telecast or add to it with-out getting in the way of it and all the things that are involved in the business of baseball on television,” McCarver said.

“On the other hand, you pick up part of your life as the viewing audience. I haven’t been able to do that for 35 years. It’s kind of nice. I would imagine John Madden felt the same way his first year out. I

don’t know,” he said.McCarver worked about 30

games locally this season call-ing St. Louis Cardinals games. But this is the first year he did no postseason games since 1984.

The 73–year–old McCarver is still watching the games from his couch as an ana-lyst, and complimented the broadcasts on Fox led by his old play-by-play partner, Joe Buck.

In a brief phone conversa-tion, he praised the way Kan-sas City dictates games with speed and defense, debated San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy’s decision not to start ace Madison Bumgarner on short rest in Game 4 and talked about how the dom-inance of the Royals’ bull-pen changes the tenor of the game.

But McCarver said his ap-preciation of the players rises when he doesn’t have to call the games. He cited Lorenzo Cain’s outfield defense and Bumgarner’s tenacity, which reminds the former catcher of what he saw from St. Louis teammate Bob Gibson.

“I had a chance to admire the players from a technical standpoint while doing the games,” he said. “Now the ad-miration soars because I have a chance to really analyze some of the things for myself and not necessarily for the viewing audience.”

WOMEN’S SOCCER

West Virginia claims third-straight Big 12 titleBy ryan petroVich

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia wom-en’s soccer team claimed its third straight Big 12 championship this past weekend.

Another pair of victories has put the Mountaineers on top of the conference once more.

Friday night, WVU took on Oklahoma State – the team they defeated last season to claim the confer-ence championship – and they once again handled the Cowgirls.

It may have taken two overtimes, but the Moun-taineers managed to come away with a 2-1 victory Fri-day at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

Junior forward Kailey Ut-ley played the role of hero. Utley netted both goals in the contest, including the game-winner.

“I think to be a great team, you got to find a way to win,” Utley said. “We had a great team effort and we

did just that.”The Cowgirls and Moun-

taineers engaged in a very defensive game. No goals were scored in the first half. The Cowgirls found the net before West Vir-ginia. The Cowgirls scored just one goal, but despite the goal, junior defender Carly Black recognized how well her team played on defense.

“I’m really proud of the backline today,” Black said. “Honestly, I just think we all knew what we had to do.”

It was another quick turnaround, as the Moun-taineers took on Oklahoma Sunday. The Mountaineers dawned pink uniforms in honor of breast cancer awareness and the Moun-taineers beat the Sooners, 3-1.

Utley picked up where she left off, scoring the first goal of the contest. Aman-dine Pierre-Louis scored twice in the second half to lift the Mountaineers over the Sooners.

“Hard work pays off,”

said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in regard to Utley’s performance this weekend. “I’m so proud of her. I can’t speak enough about Kailey Utley.”

“I had to do my job,” Pierre-Louis said. “I had to make the difference in the game, the game was going quick. We just had to calm down and make sure we got the goals.”

This is West Virginia’s third straight Big 12 con-ference championship. While it’s been a familiar feeling, Izzo-Brown said she is proud of her team.

“This is what we set out to do,” Izzo-Brown said. “Every game was about getting better, getting ready for conference play and winning a champion-ship. We’re going to hoist that trophy.”

The team will have one last regular season game to play. WVU will battle at 7 p.m. Friday against Bay-lor at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

Fright Farm provides successful scares with new ‘Paranoia’ By nicole curtin

A&E writEr @dAilyAthEnAEum

Fright Farm in Smith-field, Pa., is one of many activities close to Morgan-town for students to take part in to get in the Hal-loween spirit.

Located at Rich Farms, the farm is transformed every year into a haunted hayride, haunted ceme-tery, fright mansion, terror maze and, new this year, “Paranoia.”

This year, I gathered 14 of my best friends and we made the trip. Getting there early is definitely key. The lines for Fright Farm are usually ridicu-lous, so we parked and walked through the gates around 8 p.m.

While waiting in line, there was a live band play-ing music for everyone to enjoy. They played great music for the night such as “Thriller” by Michael Jackson and other popular favorites.

Starting on the hayride was great, especially be-cause there were a lot of Mountaineer fans on it, and when another person on the truck shouted “let’s go,” everyone shouted back “Mountaineers.”

The hayride started off creepy with a quiet ride through the woods. The stars were perfectly bright, and no one knew what was

coming next. The ride took us through parts of an old town where zombie-like people came out of an old train station and other run-down buildings.

They chased us along, shouting warnings about death in the town. The cha insaws def ini te ly ramped up the fright fac-tor. Being trapped in a barn on the ride was ter-rifying. They closed the doors, and everything was dark. What seemed like clowns from a freak show came around, telling ev-eryone to be afraid – and it worked.

Ever yone was get-ting nervous and asked what was going on. Then, the doors opened and we came out of the barn and went on to the mansion.

Inside the mansion, there were so many rooms. We went inside and out-side, walking quickly be-cause the characters in each room jumped out at us and had knives, chain-saws and more to try to scare us.

Aside from the initial heart racing from peo-ple jumping at us from around the corner, these

rooms were completely done into settings to set the scene and creep us out even more. From bod-ies hanging from the ceil-ing to a woman who was chopped in half on a table crying to us for help, the characters had great cos-tumes including all the blood and gore horror-lov-ers could ask for.

After the mansion, the terror maze, which was filled with clowns and zombies, got everyone turned around. We tried to cut corners and get out as quickly as possible, but the clowns did not give up

and one followed us all the way through while he was eerily laughing at us.

“Paranoia” was our last stop, but since it was new and none of us had gone through it before, we were not sure what to ex-pect. The workers blind-folded us, and we had to hold on to a rope and walk through.

There were random holes in the ground and things hitting us in the face, people touching us and screaming. We ended up outside and everyone was alright.

With all of the attrac-

tions successfully scaring everyone and getting us in the Halloween spirit, it is definitely worth the money for a general admission ticket. Lines can get ridic-ulous, though; some peo-ple have spent twenty min-utes in line like we did, while others have spent four hours.

Fright Farm is always a fun trip and getting there early was the best choice. For more information on Fright Farm hours and ticket prices, visit http://frightfarm.com.

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to indulge fans of movies and TVBy Jillian clemente

A&E writEr @dAilyAthEnAEum

Chad Winkler, a grad-uate student at West Vir-ginia University, is the featured trumpet soloist in tonight’s performance from The Pittsburgh Sym-phony Orchestra. The PSO is coming to play “Hallow-een Pops: Memorable Mu-sic from Stage and Screen” for the Halloween season.

The PSO plans to play songs from movies like “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Spi-derman, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and TV shows such as “Game of Thrones” and more.

Winkler received a Bachelor’s of Music from WVU and Master’s of Mu-sic from Duquesne.

His passion for the trum-pet began at the early age of 12. Winkler racked up a huge range of accomplish-ments with his trumpet; some major ones include playing at the Interlochen World Youth Symphony

Orchestra during the 1996 Summer Olympic games in Atlanta, Ga.

He even worked at a Camp-of-the-Woods camp from 2001-08 as a part of the music staff orchestra where he was a soloist.

After that, he played in various orchestras such as the Wheeling Sym-phony, The West Vir-ginia Symphony and the Erie Philharmonic and eventually ended up in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Winkler continued to teach at the collegiate level. He just started a job as a professor of trumpet at Slippery Rock University and California University of Pennsylvania.

Winkler has done other solos before, win-ning the National Trum-pet Competition in 1995, 1998 and 2000. Last year, he was invited back as a soloist at the same competition.

Winkler has a wife, Elissa, and together they own Bethel Park Music Studio. They live in Bethel

Park, Pa., with son Hudson and daughter Selah.

Winkler’s resident con-ductor of PSO, Lawrence Loh, began his journey with the Pittsburgh Sym-phony Orchestra in 2005, when he became assistant conductor. He worked the ranks quickly, becoming associate conductor in 2006 and his current po-sition in 2007, using the training from his degree in orchestrating from Yale in 1998.

Loh puts on various mu-sical shows ranging from classical to educational to pops, with educational ones being very important to him. He’s very active in conducting the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orches-tra and the Community En-gagement and Partnership concerts through PYSO and is a music advocate in general.

Loh is also very ac-tive in the community through lecturing, do-ing radio broadcasts and other public appear-ances. He’s not letting up

until he leaves next year to be the first music di-rector of Symphoria in Syracuse, N.Y.

Since 2005, Loh has di-rected the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philhar-monic as well. This or-chestra has been all over the country, from Tennes-

see to Texas to Las Vegas. The Pittsburgh Sym-

phony Orchestra concert is part of the Canady Sym-phony Series at WVU. Up-coming shows under this series include piano su-perstar Gabriela Mon-tero on Jan. 24, 2015 with conductor James Gaffigan

and Tchaikovsky and Pro-kofiev on March 2, 2015, with Manfred Honeck as conductor.

The Halloween perfor-mance is at 7:30 p.m. to-night at the CAC. Tickets range from $27-$45.

Jack Bruce of Cream fame dies at age of 71LONDON (AP) — Jack Bruce

was part Mississippi Delta and part Carnaby Street. In his glorious heyday as bass-ist and lead vocalist of 1960s power trio Cream he helped create a sound that combined American blues and psy-chedelia to thrill audiences throughout the world.

Bruce, who died Saturday of liver disease at age 71, en-joyed a long, respected solo career after the band’s acri-monious breakup, but will be best remembered for his stint with Cream and for classics like “Sunshine of Your Love” and “I Feel Free.”

Much of the attention was focused on guitar wizard Eric Clapton, but Bruce wrote many of the band’s signature tunes and served as lead vo-calist. He also provided the intense bass guitar that, with Ginger Baker’s explosive drums, underpinned Cream’s rhythmic, driving sound.

They had it all - commer-cial and critical success - un-til individual egos intervened and they disbanded, entering rock and roll mythology as the original supergroup: super-talented, and super-troubled.

Bruce was an important member of the British blues movement, which saw bands like the Animals and Rolling Stones first imitate and then expand on the American blues tradition as exemplified by Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and other stalwarts.

Cream, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, played a mix of tradi-tional blues songs, with long, often improvised instrumen-

tal breaks, and their own tunes. They enchanted crit-ics and fans alike at first, but after two years some found their extended jams to be self-indulgent, with band mem-bers seeming to show off their musical virtuosity rather than trying to complement each other.

Songs like “Spoonful” often lasted 20 minutes or longer, with each member playing extended solos that some-times seemed repetitive.

Bruce enjoyed a long ca-reer after Cream’s acrimoni-ous breakup, and in 2005 he reunited with former Cream bandmates for critically ac-claimed concerts in London and New York City.

Five years later, how-ever, Bruce said Cream was “over” - an indication of on-going tensions between the band members. Clapton had said the familiar problems were just beneath the surface during the band’s reunion performances.

Publicists LD Communi-

cations said Saturday Bruce died of liver disease at his home in Suffolk, England. He had received a liver trans-plant some years ago and continued to suffer a variety of health problems.

A statement released by his family said “the world of music will be a poorer place without him but he lives on in his music and forever in our hearts.”

“It is with great sadness that we, Jack’s family, an-nounce the passing of our beloved Jack: husband, father, granddad, and all round leg-end,” the statement said.

Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi said on Twitter that Bruce had been his fa-vorite bass player and great-est influence.

“He was a hero to so many,” Iommi said.

In its heyday, Cream sold 35 million albums in just over two years and the band was awarded the world’s first ever platinum disc for their double album “Wheels of Fire.”

The band started out play-ing traditional blues tunes, but quickly added a psyche-delic flavor that brought still more popularity at the height of the flower power era.

But they broke up with little warning, in the midst of their commercial success. Clap-ton wrote in his 2007 auto-biography that the band lost its direction musically and that “any sense of unity” had disappeared.

“We were also suffering from an inability to get along,” he said. “We would just run away from one another. We never socialized together and never really shared ideas anymore.”

He also felt they were eclipsed by the arrival on the scene of guitarist Jimi Hen-drix, whose trio seemed to break new ground with each album.

Bruce went on to record the first of his solo albums, “Songs For a Tailor.” He also fronted many of his own bands.

He was known for mix-ing rock, jazz and classi-cal sounds, and his songs were covered by many art-ists including Hendrix, David Bowie and Ella Fitzgerald.

Bruce returned to the stu-dio around 2000 to record his solo album “Shadows in the Air,” which hit number five on the British jazz and blues chart.

He was born to musical parents in Glasgow, Scot-land on 14 May 1943. His parents travelled extensively in Canada and the U.S., and the young Bruce attended

14 different schools. He fin-ished his formal education at Bellahouston Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music, to which he won a scholarship for cello and composition.

He left Scotland at the age of 16 and in 1962 joined his first important band, the in-fluential Alexis Korner’s Blues Inc., in London. The band featured drummer Charlie

Watts, who later joined the Rolling Stones.

Bruce was playing and touring with his Big Blues Band until recently. In 2012 he played in Cuba, and per-formed in London at the famed bar Ronnie Scott’s. His 14th solo album, “Silver Rails,” was released earlier this year.

He is survived by his wife, Margrit, four children and a granddaughter.
