Students were given a chance to pie the West Vir-ginia University Student Body President, Chris Nyden, in the face Friday outside the Mountainlair.
Throughout the afternoon, students could participate in the Student Government As-sociation’s efforts to fund-raise for United Way and cre-ate positive energy for the SGA.
Nyden said the event raised $104.
“The whole purpose is to turn some bad public-ity that SGA has received re-cently into something good and help benefit United Way charity at the same time,” Nyden said.
United Way of Monon-galia and Preston Counties, led by Honorary Chair Pres-ident and WVU President E. Gordon Gee, serves to raise funds for health and human service agencies that cannot raise funds on their own with-out the help of United Way.
WVU’s philanthropic com-mitment is to United Way.
“We didn’t meet our goal for their campaign, but we still have several weeks to do so,” Nyden said. “We are do-
ing whatever we can to raise money for it.”
Kyle Hatcher, the executive director of health and well-ness for SGA, says several ef-forts have been made to raise
money for United Way.“President Gee is on the
committee that is the head of the United Way Project here at
Victory spawns riot, destruction
Kenneth redIllas/the daIlY athenaeumAuthorities address members of the media during Saturday nights riot in downtown Morgantown, W.Va.

Authorities responded to at least 37 fires and several arrests were made in what the authorities are calling a riot, according to the Mor-gantown Fire Department and the Morgantown Police Department.
Saturday was an event-ful day for Morgantown, W.Va. The day began with tailgating for West Virginia’s matchup with No. 4 Baylor, and resulted in the Moun-taineers handing the Bears their first loss of the season.
As the game ended, fans would attempt to rush the field and celebrate the school’s first victory over a top-five team since defeat-ing No. 3 Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl after the 2007 season.
Before students could hurdle the railing that sep-arated the lower student section and the turf of Mountaineer Field, an an-nouncement was made over the speakers of Milan Pus-kar Stadium informing fans that they would be arrested if they tried.
Even though police pres-ence and official warnings
kept students off the field it could not control the events that took place later that evening.
Familiar couch-burning rituals, destruction of prop-erty and binge drinking oc-curred throughout Mor-gantown, beginning in the Sunnyside neighborhood on Grant Avenue.
The Morgantown Police Department stated in a press release that officers started responding to reports of parties with the probability of deviant behavior around 10:30 p.m. The press release also confirmed reports of groups pushing over street
lights and throwing rocks, beer bottles, and other blunt objects at Public Safety Personnel.
The total cost of damage due to the events that were declared as riots has yet to be determined.
The Morgantown Fire De-partment also issued a press release stating that one fire engine as well as two admin-istrative vehicles were dam-aged by thrown objects. The squad called in additional personnel that were off-duty for the night to handle the 37 fires that have already been confirmed, and prob-ably more according to the
press release. Investigations are expected to go on for sev-eral days.
A great deal of controversy has been stirred up through-out several social media net-works, particularly twitter, after Adelyn Nottingham, a 21-year -old senior at WVU, tweeted “Mo-town police of-ficer broke into my friend’s apartment and sprayed me with pepper spray which re-sulted in me having a severe asthma attack.”
The tweet, along with two others that discussed her claim of being sober as well as not being able to breathe, were taken together in a
screenshot that has already been retweeted more than 300 times.
“I’m a disability student with Asthma,” Nottingham said. “I almost died.”
Nottingham and her boy-friend Kyle Frazier, a 22-year-old senior, explained that they were at a friend’s resi-dence on Third Street sing-ing “Country Roads” on the front porch when police made their way down the street in full riot gear chas-ing people that were trying to watch riots take place on Grant Avenue.

After a night of vandalism and destruction throughout Morgantown, multiple West Virginia University officials released statements con-demning the actions that took place.
WVU President E. Gordon Gee released a statement ex-pressing his concerns and sadness over the actions of the students who took part.
“This is not acceptable Mountaineer behavior. It is not ‘partying’ to set fires, tear down fences or throw bottles at police. It is criminal and will be dealt with as such,” Gee said.
The University issued a statement saying that both Morgantown law enforce-ment agencies and the Uni-versity are in the process of scanning film footage and social media content to
identify, charge and arrest students involved.
“The behavior exhibited last night will not go unpun-ished, either by the courts or the University,” the state-ment read.
Student Body President Chris Nyden said in a state-ment that those involved “di-minished this huge achieve-ment by our football team by turning to destruction in place of celebration.”
Nyden went on to say he trusts the “Morgantown Po-lice Department will pursue and punish any individu-als involved in violence and vandalism to the full extent of the law,” and that he ex-pects “WVU to act swiftly to penalize and potentially ex-pel any students involved.”
Gee and Nyden both touched on the importance of ensuring these sorts of actions don’t reoccur, and

Frazier claimed they all went inside, and one of his friends made a “smart alec” comment to one of the of-ficers as they were walk-ing inside, resulting in the officer coming to the door as Frazier’s friend closed it. But according to Fra-zier, the officer forced the door open and sprayed pepper spray inside the apartment.
“After he pepper sprayed the apartment, the police told us that everyone had to stay inside, even though Adelyn couldn’t breathe,” Frazier said.
After that, Frazier said an ambulance came for Not-tingham, and gave her an
inhaler which made her feel better. But, as things were dying down, Frazier said one of his friends yelled “po-lice brutality” before officers started pushing him.
“They pushed him un-til he stumbled and then he pushed back. Then a cop took a nightstick to his leg, threw him down and knocked him out cold. I think the fact that they didn’t actually arrest anyone where we were at the time says a lot. If anything, our friend that was pushed to the ground and knocked out should have been arrested, but they just got physical and walked away,” Frazier said.
Nottingham said she was in utter shock by the actions of the police.
“What surprised me was the fact that we weren’t in a riot, we weren’t malicious,
but instead we were being safe and having fun,” Not-tingham said. “But, they came down swinging bats around, and we didn’t feel safe. I think they were upset with things that were hap-pening and retaliated on im-pulse. They didn’t show any empathy, no one came to see if I was okay, and several people saw them laughing.”
Frazier believes the police should have taken a different approach, instead of coming out in full riot gear.
“They should gradually escalate the level of force they’re using—there are steps you take,” Frazier said. “They just came out ready to spray and attack people.”
While the claims of po-lice brutality have generated plenty of controversy, espe-cially after Nottingham’s tweet, other controversies linger as well—specifically how to prepare for the next big win.
“How do we plan for the next four games and how the students will respond?” said Daniel Brewster, a professor at WVU. “Do we expel and suspend students? Should we impose a curfew? Obvi-ously that would hurt busi-nesses and nightlife down-town, but something has to be done. I can’t even imag-ine what would happen if we
actually won a playoff game or a national championship.”
Brewster said much Sat-urday’s events affect every-one and how much of a neg-ative shadow they cast on West Virginia University as a whole.
“It’s just an embarrassing representation of our institu-tion and in reality it isn’t just students; it’s friends or rela-tives coming to visit or even people who have no affilia-tion. What we need to ap-proach is a standard for what is acceptable behavior from students,” he said. “When this type of behavior mani-fests, it affects the quality of our degree and what people associate with the school. Ultimately people don’t consider the consequences of this type of behavior. It’s sad because you would think we never won when you look on SportsCenter. It’s nothing but reports of riots.”
To sum up the reaction from WVU administration, President E. Gordon Gee’s tweet speaks volumes.
“Disappointed in some of our student body today,” Gee tweeted. “While a small mi-nority, the actions of a few hurt the reputation of our entire University.”

that the student body learns how to better represent the University when celebrating victories.
However, Nyden also said incidents like these are not new to the school.
“We cannot simply con-demn the perpetrators and deem that to be a sufficient response. This has been a glaring issue for years at WVU, and it’s time to accept that our current practices and policies simply have not worked,” Nyden said.
Nyden called for the Mor-gantown Police Department and every student leader on campus work together to come up with long-term solutions.
“How can we embrace our ‘party school’ image without escalating celebra-tion into vandalism?” Nyden said.
Gee said he has a zero-tol-erance policy for students who “demean the achieve-ments of our institution and its faculty, staff, students, alumni and our Morgan-town community.”
Matt Elder, the assistant director of Mountaineer Maniacs, said in a statement that the organization is dis-appointed by the offenders’
conduct.He said, “Morgantown
is our home, and we must respect it as such by being contributing citizens to the community. West Virginia University is a very special place, and we want to make sure that we keep it that way.”
Elder added that he and the Maniacs thank the stu-dents who showed their Mountaineer pride respect-fully and the organization asks students to promote their sportsmanship on game days with the hashtag #WVUSportsmanship.
In its statement, the Uni-versity said it “is appreciative of the actions of the Morgan-town Police Department, the Morgantown Fire Depart-ment and other cooperating agencies in preventing seri-ous injury.”
Gee said knowing what it means to positively repre-sent WVU is vital to the rep-utation of this institution.
“It is time this Univer-sity, together with our stu-dents, embody and ex-hibit a code of conduct that makes Mountaineers every-where proud,” he said. “Each of us needs to accept indi-vidual responsibility for our actions and understand we each represent West Virginia University.”

WVU,” Hatcher said. “We had a goal of at least selling $6,000 in T-shirts. I think we only sold $4,000, which is up from last year, but this is part of that too. We have an ultimate goal towards United Way, and all the proceeds go into that.”
In a combined effort by SGA executive members, in-cluding Chris Nyden, SGA decided to hold this event in response to the recent neg-ative publicity for both SGA and Nyden himself.
The event was inspired by bad publicity stemming from rumors of impeachment due to Nyden’s alleged violations of the SGA Ethics Code.
Hatcher said Nyden wanted the event to create some “positive buzz” for the SGA and to represent how Nyden felt after the rumors
circulated.Despite these rumors, stu-
dents were excited to be given a chance to participate. Arnie Reed, a senior international studies student, was at the event.
“Overall, I think it is a
good idea,” Reed said. “Who doesn’t want to smile be-cause they pied someone in the face? It breaks the monot-ony of the day.”
Reed also said he partici-pated to donate to the United Way.
“Donating to the United Way draws a lot of people in,” Reed said. “They spend a lot of money on it.”
Nyden said, “It’s a lot mess-ier than I thought.”

Sean Theriault chal-lenged the ideas of Party Polarizers versus Political Warriors during last Fri-day’s Guest Speaker Series, hosted by the West Virginia University School of Poli-tics and Public Policy.
During his presentation, Theriault described the dif-ference between the two la-bels thoroughly.
“Party Polarizers are members of Congress who have very conservative or
very liberal voting records. They are near the ideolog-ical poles in politics. Po-litical Warriors are those who will do anything to win even if it has results that could be damaging to the United States,” The-riault said. “Warriors care about winning wars. They don’t care about solving problems.”
These wars get in the way of productive out-comes in the U.S. Senate. Theriault further explained that positive results in the Senate could appear if cit-izens voted for candidates
that were more concerned about fixing the problems in Congress, rather than en-gaging in a constant battle between opposing political parties.
“In election after elec-tion, the voters have cho-sen warriors. We can’t be surprised that the parties are now in all-out war,” said Theriault.
Theriault believes these labels and constant polit-ical battles cause a divi-sion in the legislation. This disunion makes it harder for amendments and bills, meant to help the people
of the United States, get passed.
The genesis of this divi-sion is believed by Theri-ault to have begun during Newt Gingrich’s represen-tation in the Senate. Theri-ault said Gingrich laid the foundation for such a sep-aration in the Senate to be present today.
Many present members of the Senate are picking up where Gingrich left off in terms of political warfare.
This criticism of Gingrich is not a foreign concept for Theriault. Theriault has been contemplating this
idea for five years. He men-tioned this theme in his last book, “The Gingrich Senators.”
Current research could lead him to write a second book providing further, more detailed distinctions between Party Polarizers and Political Warriors.
“In my current research, I’m taking the concept a bit more seriously to see if there really is something there. If I continue to find good evidence, I will write another book,” Theriault said.
Theriault is a professor
at the University of Texas at Austin. He teaches Political Science and is a researcher of American politics. He is also the author of several books and scholarly arti-cles. He continues to en-gage in research pertaining to the distinctive separation in the Senate as well as how this separation affects the American people.

As an annual extension of West Virginia Universi-ty’s 2014 Diversity Week, the Indian Student Associ-ation held Tarang, an event to celebrate Indian culture and unify people from dif-ferent ethnic backgrounds.
The festive event, that attracted hundreds of stu-dents and people from the community, was held Sat-urday afternoon and eve-ning in Hatfields in the Mountainlair.
Attendees enjoyed a vast assortment of traditional Indian food and a variety of dances performed by kids, students and people from many different countries. At the end of the night, dancers came together in Old Gold and Blue T-shirts and presented a dance ar-rangement of “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
Special guests included WVU president E. Gordon Gee, provost Joyce McCo-nnell and the Dean of the Statler College of Engineer-ing and Mineral Resources, Gene Cilento, who helped sponsor ISA and Tarang.
“We want to celebrate that we have diversity,” Ci-lento said. “We’re here to support them. We want them to do well and (help them understand) they’re a part of a family, and we value them professionally and personally.”
ISA helps Indian stu-
dents find a welcoming community in a place thou-sands of miles from where they have spent their lives.
“When the new freshmen come here (from India), we pick them up from the airport and provide them with temporary accommo-dations and basic needs,” said Sai Ram Nellutla, a computer science gradu-ate student and committee member of ISA. “This is a very good place for people from all over Morgantown to come together.”
Praveen Kumar Reddy Majjigapu, a civil engineer-ing Ph.D. student and presi-dent of ISA, knows that feel-ing well.
“When I left my family for the first time, I thought, ‘I really need somebody to take care of me,” described Majjigapu, who heard of ISA when he came to the U.S. for the first time in 2010 to complete his mas-ter’s degree at WVU.
As Majjigapu explained, most of the Indian students who seek out ISA are, for
the first time in their lives, living far away from home and in a completely differ-ent culture.
ISA works toward mak-ing students from India feel comfortable in their new home by promoting the awareness of campus diver-sity and recruiting through-out India.
“When we go around to different cities in India and tell students about this, they feel welcome,” said Radhey Sharma, ISA faculty advisor and engineering
professor. “When they are settling into a new place, they can be ready for aca-demic progress.”
Cilento emphasized the special devotion and skills that international students bring to the Statler College.
“They become the back-bone of research and devel-opment when they gradu-ate, and some of them become faculty members,” Cilento stated.
In addition to Tarang, which revolves around Di-wali, ISA also recognizes
holidays like Holi and the Independence Days of In-dia and America.
“We showcase what types of festivals we have and how we celebrate,” Ma-jjigapu said. “ISA is a plat-form for Indian and non-Indian students to interact.”
Other opportunities ISA works to provide its mem-bers include community service, internships with lo-cal businesses and events. Entirely run by students, ISA focuses on three as-pects of planning events: food, cultural programs and taking care of logistics and financing.
“We can all work to-gether and do something productive. This year is the first year with other inter-national students (on the ISA committee),” Majj-igapu said. He hopes to see the organization become “more inclusive.”
ISA continues to help In-dian students become ac-climated to new cultures and new settings while partnering with other groups across campus like the Chinese Student Association.
“The world is becom-ing much closer nowadays with transportation and communication becoming easier,” Cilento said. “You learn that people come at solving problems from dif-ferent angles. That’s what helps you develop the best solution.”

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — After finding re-mains that could be Uni-versity of Virginia student Hannah Graham, author-ities interviewed nearby residents and picked through leaves on the side of a sparsely populated highway, searching for any clues or evidence.
Forensic tests were needed to confirm whether the remains match the 18-year-old Graham. They were discovered by a dep-uty Saturday in a heavily wooded area of Albemarle County that is home to horse farms about 12 miles from campus. Graham dis-appeared Sept. 13 after a
night out with friends.Her parents were noti-
fied that the remains were found, Charlottesville Po-lice Chief Timothy Longo said. It wasn’t immediately clear Sunday how long it would take for them to be identified. Investigators also wouldn’t say if they had found anything else.
The last person seen with Graham, 32-year-old Jesse Leroy Matthew Jr., has been charged with ab-duction with intent to de-file Graham. He is being held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 4.
The remains were dis-
covered roughly 6 miles from where the body of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Har-rington was found three months after she vanished in 2009.
Police have said foren-sic evidence connects Mat-thew to Harrington’s kill-ing, which in turn is linked by DNA to a 2005 sexual assault in northern Vir-ginia. Matthew hasn’t been charged in those cases.
Albemarle County Po-lice Department spokes-man Carter Johnson said Sunday no additional in-formation regarding the in-vestigation was available.
Graham met friends at a restaurant for dinner Sept. 12 before stopping by two off-campus parties. She left the second party alone and eventually texted a friend saying she was lost, au-thorities said.
In surveillance video, she can be seen walking unsteadily and even run-ning at times, past a pub and a service station and then onto a seven-block strip of bars, restaurants and shops. On Sunday, the area was buzzing with people having brunch at outdoor cafes on a brisk, sunny day. Graham’s dis-appearance and the dis-covery of human remains was a frequent topic of conversation.
“It’s constant. It’s every-where. It’s part of the zeit-geist of the community be-
cause of this just profound sense of loss and shock and horror. I mean it’s on everybody’s lips wherever I go - lunch, dinner, in the streets,” said Robert Robl, a Charlottesville resident who was having brunch.
Many people said they hoped the identification of the remains brings clo-sure to Graham’s friends and family.
“Everybody was rattled. Everybody knew it was coming, but you still hope for the best. As much as you can prepare for it, you can never prepare for it,” said Claire Meyers, a Uni-versity of Virginia nursing student who has friends who knew Graham and Matthew.
Matthew was an oper-ating room technician at the university’s hospital,
where Meyers works as a patient care assistant.
Albemarle County res-ident Bill Gnas, a retiree who lives a few miles from where the remains were found, said helicop-ters flew overhead Sun-day morning and there had been a constant po-lice presence in the area for 24 hours. When he saw police blocking off a road on Saturday, he suspected the worst.
“Truly, I was saddened by it. After three or four days you had to anticipate it was going to be another Harrington event where they were going to find the body, and the only thing you could hope for at that point was that there be some closure for the par-ents that it was in fact dis-covered,” he said.
AnDREW SHURTlEFF/THE DAIlY ATHEnAEUMA road closed sign blocks traffic as authorities search a rural area where human remains were discovered in Albermarle County, Va., Sunday. Investigators also interviewed residents in the area Sunday, and forensic teams combed the sides of a road for several miles past the site. Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said authorities have not yet confirmed that the remains are those of University of Virginia sophomore Hannah Graham, but have notified Grahams’ parents of the discovery.

Two years ago, a police officer bought a homeless man shoes. Newspapers raved about his generos-ity and kindness and Amer-ica let out a collective sigh, thinking our police force was just as trustworthy as we al-ways wanted to believe it was.
Fast forward to 2014. The police are still making na-tional headlines, but for a very different reason.
Police brutality is noth-ing new: Every few years, a horrible story of an un-warranted police assault crops up in the news. Usu-ally, it is something we can brush off as a fluke, and we are assured the officer was a bad apple and has been promptly relieved of his job.
However, the case of Mi-chael Brown, an eighteen-year-old African Ameri-can male who was shot by an officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August, has garnered enough media attention to keep civilians on our toes. Regardless of the race is-sues involved with the situ-ation, the fact remains that a boy was shot like a dog in the middle of the street, and two months later, America is still trying to put together the pieces of the events leading up to the shooting.
The month before, news began trickling down about the case of Eric Garner, a New Yorker who died from a cop’s chokehold.
In May, police were tipped off on a poten-tial drug dealer. They pro-ceeded to kick in the door of his home and use a flash-bang grenade - a mini-bomb mostly used to disorient an enemy via its loud sound. It can also cause fires.
All this to arrest a meth dealer. Not a rapist, not a murderer, a drug dealer.
What the police failed to realize was that this meth dealer lived with his ex-tended family, including
his aunt and uncle and their three girls under the age of ten. But it was the couple’s son, an infant named Bou Bou, whose crib was blown up by this flash-bang gre-nade. Baby Bou Bou suffered multiple injuries as a result of the police’s tactic, and has had to receive over $1 mil-lion worth of surgeries to re-place the nose and chest that were blown apart in the raid.
The meth dealer the po-lice so brutally attempted to detain was found a few doors down, and was peace-fully arrested without the same pomp and circum-stance shown to the afore-mentioned family.
But even Morgantown, W.Va., has seen the effects of the police force’s misuse of power.
And, of course, we all heard the horror stories of the police’s attempts to “control” the rioting that oc-curred in the aftermath of the Baylor game on Satur-day, using rubber bullets,
tear gas and mace. The former was used
against a few of my friends that evening, who were out on their porch near Grant Street, observing the chaos from a distance. Three of-ficers decided to order the group indoors, a strange re-quest since they were sim-ply on the porch. When the group refused on the rights that their porch was still con-sidered their property, the three officers approached the group, forced them in-side their home, and – after one boy vehemently denied the order, but did not exert any force toward the officer – the entire group was pepper sprayed in the confines of their home. This induced a
severe asthma attack from a girl which required the help of paramedics.
When the same boy spoke out again to the police, one of the officers used his baton against the individual, who then fell to the ground and was knocked unconscious.
The police left the scene. Our very own police de-partment left a college-aged student unconscious in the middle of the street.
I cannot, in good faith, say I trust these people with my safety. One could say each of these cases is an outlier, that most police forces are on our side. But this is not Gotham City; people cannot sim-ply be categorized as “good guys” and “bad guys.”
The police have let us down on a local and national scale.
Sure, we’ve all heard the typical “f--- the police” chants by drunken students on High Street. We’ve all seen officers attempt to de-tain an especially belligerent drunk. We’ve been to parties shut down by the University Police Department.
These are typical police duties, things done for the betterment of our commu-nity – though admittedly, they are the detriment to some pretty fun parties. Re-gardless, it is not the day-to-day issues that are mak-ing national headlines. It’s hard to screw up the simple things police officers do the majority of the time.
The real problem comes when something exciting happens – when police of-ficers have to bust a drug deal or calm a riot. This is, I suspect, what police officers dream about, that finally they can assert their dom-
inance over the “bad guys” of the world and be hailed as heroes.
Sometimes, this works out. But in the recent cases, police have simply gone too far.
Perhaps it’s the mind-numbing duties of a police officer that makes the excit-ing police calls all the more reckless. Sitting on the side of the road in an attempt to catch speeders will re-ally make that emergency call something to look for-ward to. Maybe some po-lice officers are secretly itching to use the weapons they’ve been trained to use for their own protection. Maybe throwing kids in jail for smoking weed or drink-ing gets so old that a little excitement is necessary to keep them assured of their position. Maybe aggression is a common trait selected for in police officers, and it takes very little to make them snap.
Naturally, these conjec-tures can’t apply to all po-lice officers. In fact, six months ago, I probably wouldn’t have felt the need to sit down and ruminate on these ideas. But we can’t simply sweep all the recent horrifying cases under the rug. There is a reason police brutality is nothing new, that civilians much like yourself are dying at the hands of po-lice officers.
I’m not saying we should rebel against the police. I’m not even saying we shouldn’t trust them to get us out of emergency situations
What I’m saying is per-haps we should see the po-lice officers as we would our peers, that there are inher-ently better and worse peo-ple out there. That we cannot blindly trust them to do the right thing.
Police officers are not the saviors we all thought they were. While usually they are the modern day superheroes protecting us, some appear to be the criminals, as well.

Human beings seek the unknown in pursuit of es-tablishing limits. This goal and its successes and fail-ures have rapidly advanced as society has progressed into the 21st century. Our continued social organiza-tions have conquered dis-tance with units of mea-surements, developed social order (to some extent) with laws and even developed an accurate, tangible interpre-tation of time. Though so-ciety has been able to pro-mote the use of vaccines due to empirical observation, it still fails to this day on a front plagued with hand-wringing disrespect.
The final frontier of con-trol exists in death with dig-nity. Death with dignity is an option for the mentally com-petent that allows the use of prescribed medication to end one’s life. It is not an an-
swer for those who simply cannot stand life because things are difficult at mo-ments like their girlfriend cheated on them, or their parents getting divorced; not that either of those oc-currences in life cannot un-doubtedly be the most de-bilitating experiences for some. It is reserved for those who have been given a prog-nosis of six months or less to live. Death with dignity gives a choice to the person who has lost them all.
Brittany Maynard, 29, is an advocate for the nation’s preeminent end-of-life choices organization, Com-passions and Choices. May-nard has gained national attention recently for mire than just for her work with Compassions and Choices. Her fight for the addition of death with dignity laws for all of America will end Nov. 1.
On New Year’s Day, 2014, Maynard was diagnosed with a malignant brain tu-
mor. The tumor has been slowly eating away at her brain for five months now. Her story is full of the heart-break you wish didn’t ex-ist. She and her husband had only been married for just over a year and were trying to start a family. She has ran half-marathons and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.
But fate dealt her an un-fortunate card. Maynard considered passing away naturally in hospice care at her home, but decided against it because she said she might, “develop poten-tially morphine-resistant pain and suffer personality changes and verbal, cogni-tive, and motor loss of vir-tually any kind” as a result of the tumor and its metas-tasizing nature.
In a matter of weeks, May-nard will end her life on her own terms. She is holding out for her husband’s birth-day next week and wishes to spend time with her family.
A Gallup Poll conducted
earlier this year found that at least 70 percent of Amer-icans agree that doctors should be allowed to “end [a] patient’s life by some painless means,” when the patient or their families agreed to it. Why are Ore-gon, Washington, Montana, Vermont and New Mexico the only states that allow this critical decision?
This deserves special consideration. What is the purpose in keeping human beings alive only to suffer in hospital beds with tubes running through their ori-fices as they dream of the peace only attainable by death? There is simply no moral reason hospitals should be allowed to pro-long the existence of some-body who is a vegetable, or is so affected by a cancer that they cannot even com-municate. This disrespect is a blatant denial of an op-portunity to help somebody without hope.
It pains us to know other
people suffer in the world. That is natural. Yet, we ex-hibit a different reaction de-pending on the recipients of misfortune. You could go to bed tonight knowing that 16 million children in our country do not know where their next meal is going to come from or that cancer will take over 1,500 souls to-morrow and still wake up without paralyzing grief. However, things would be different if it were you or your loved one who was
on the receiving end of that grief. What would you do?
Some things are out of humanity’s grasp and we must come to accept that. However, control over one’s life should not be a politi-cal grey area when you have six months left to live. In this venue, social limita-tion needs serious change. Society should leave the decision of death to the dying.
We are West Virginia Uni-versity, the high point of this state. Young children look to us as role models. We have the responsibility of maintaining the Moun-taineer legacy.
Saturday evening, we failed.
Like many others who have expressed their con-cerns about the activities following the West Virginia vs. Baylor game Saturday night, The Daily Athenaeum is appalled at the behavior many students exhibited.
Our Editorial Board con-sidered whether or not we should even publish the photos from the night for fear of continuing to per-petuate a negative pub-lic image of West Virginia University.
But the students, adults, and this institution, from in- and out-of-state, acted like children. In fact, one media organization told Mountaineers to “grow up.” When children do wrong, they are punished.
Mountaineers should be
ashamed. What are you trying to
prove, Mountaineers? That you’re somehow “bad?” Or that you are “hard-core?” This is not the leg-acy that has been left before us.
The legacy left for us is that of dignity and respect. When our football team wins, we party. We do not try and destroy the city we love so dearly.
But it is not our place to scold the student body for acting like the children.
To those of you who didn’t participate: Thank you. You are one of the many things that are phe-nomenal about this school. When people ask you, and they will ask, what hap-pened the night WVU beat Baylor, remember that each time we say we are a Mountaineer, we become a spokesperson for the University.
And you have a responsi-bility to uphold for the en-tire state.
During and following
the incident, plenty of cur-rent Mountaineers and alumni took to social me-dia to express their outrage and disappoint of the be-havior. The Editorial Board wished we could have de-vised a plan for dealing with behavior such as this in-stead of just adding to the disappointment.
However, we fear there is no easy answer. Perhaps, if the University is worried that many of the individuals involved were not students, it should limit the num-
ber of guest passes given. This wouldn’t be effective, though, because tickets are easily found.
Instead, the only sug-gestion we have to offer is to call out inappropri-ate behavior when you see it. Let your friends know when they have crossed the line from celebrating to vandalizing.
Celebrate. Celebrate loudly. But do so with class as a #RespectfulMountaineer.

Born today This year many opportunities head your way. Sev-eral people could be instrumental in your life, as they help you realize a long-term goal. You also will witness your circle of friends expand. You will feel very well cared for. If you are sin-gle, you easily could have your pick of potential suitors. You might not be sure who Mr. or Ms. Right is, but several people will be quite interest-ing to date. If you are attached, the two of you will experience unusual happiness together as you appear to be closer to fulfilling a mutual long-term goal.
ARIES (MARch 21-ApRIl 19) HHHH A partner can’t be per-suaded off his or her position, no matter what you do. You are bet-ter off being receptive to requests
rather than initiating them. Unex-pected news could head your way that could create additional work for you. Be less feisty. Tonight: Unwind.
TAURUS (ApRIl 20-MAy 20) HHHHH While others try hard, you come up with the solution – only there might be a risk attached to this venture. A close loved one could be upset at your role and at the ramifications involved. Trying to keep the peace will take skill. Tonight: Work on being nonreactive.
GEMINI (MAy 21-JUNE 20) HHH You can’t help but hit a roadblock. Try to dissolve this problem; other-wise, it could linger and interfere with different aspects of your life. You’ll have a desire that you will want to fulfill at any cost. Tonight: Let a friend vent, but don’t feel like you need to fix the issue.
cANcER (JUNE 21-JUly 22) HHHH You might risk annoying a co-worker if you keep asking questions or seek-ing out advice. If this person erupts, you might wish that you had pro-ceeded with a different approach. Take preventive action in order to avoid this scenario. Tonight: Play it low-key.
lEO (JUly 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Your words convey compassion, but if you lose your temper, your responses could be very differ-ent. Difficulty with a family mem-ber could be raising your frustration levels. Take a deep breath and re-turn to your buoyant, optimistic self. Tonight: Avoid a disagreement.
V I R G O ( AU G. 23- S E p T. 22) HHHHH You beam in more of what you want. Others will find your positive attitude and strength
to be incredible. You might be feel-ing pressured by various people, and you could be taken aback by every-thing that occurs. Tonight: Do not let someone’s disagreeable mood get to you.
lIBRA (SEpT. 23-OcT. 22) HH You might feel unusually warm and car-ing. Friends will facilitate your path, but you still should be cautious with your finances. Do not make any agreements today. Be careful when driving, especially if you feel irritated. You could be distracted. Tonight: Not to be found.
ScORpIO (OcT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Focus on what you want, but know that by being stubborn, you will only prevent yourself from attaining that goal. Be open to friends who seem to surround you. Follow their advice. Tonight: Where the action is.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEc. 21) HHH You might want to discuss a situation that is irritating you; however, you could have trouble expressing your feelings. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly explode or lose your temper. Be cool with those who are in charge. Tonight: Chill out by getting some exercise.
c ApRIcORN (DEc. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Keep reaching beyond your self-imposed limits. When you think outside the box, your vision will al-low you to see a solution. The deci-sions you make from this perspective could be quite dynamic. Open up to this thought process more often. Tonight: Take a brisk walk first.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH You might want to consider the al-ternatives that have not yet been dis-
cussed. You have a unique perspec-tive and often see what others do not. A partner will give you impor-tant feedback. Still, be sure to take his or her comments with a grain of salt. Tonight: With a favorite person.
pIScES (FEB. 19-MARch 20) HHHH Defer to those in your im-mediate environment. You will hear more than your share of irritation from an older boss, friend or rela-tive. Don’t take this person’s com-ments personally, as they proba-bly are not directed at you. Tonight: Be open to what others share.

Pitt’s new WWII film makes him a better fatherLONDON (AP) — Brad Pitt
was bringing the London Film Festival to a storming conclusion Sunday with “Fury,” David Ayer’s mud- and blood-splattered tale of a tank crew in the clos-ing days of World War II.
The film offers a bru-tal depiction of combat, but Pitt says filming it has made him a better father to his six children with Ange-lina Jolie.
“This role is a real study in leadership and learning to command respect and because of this, I am now a better father,” said Pitt, who plays a hard-bitten sergeant in command of a Sherman tank crew played by Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal.
“This film is about the soldiers’ exhaustion from the cold, hunger and the accumulative effect on a daily basis,” Pitt told re-porters before the mov-ie’s black-tie European premiere. “We took that to heart. I hope ... sol-diers will walk away from this and feel they are recognized.”
“Fury” is an appropri-ately unflinching finale for a festival that awarded prizes to films that tack-led corruption, gang vio-lence, honor killing and
war.Andrey Zvyagintsev’s
“Leviathan,” a tragic sat-ire of small-town Russian corruption, was named the festival’s best pic-
ture. Ukrainian director Myroslav Slaboshpyts-kiy won the first-feature award for “The Tribe,” a teen-gang drama set at a school for the deaf and
performed entirely in sign language, without subtitles.
Actress Sameena Ja-been Ahmed was named best British newcomer for
her performance as a Brit-ish-Pakistani teenager on the run from her family in “Catch Me Daddy.”
The documentary prize went to “Silvered Water, Syria Self-Portrait,” a sear-ing look at the country’s civil war by Paris-based director Ossama Moham-med and Wiam Simav Be-dirxan, a schoolteacher who filmed life in the be-sieged city of Homs.
Director Stephen Frears was awarded the British Film Institute’s Fellowship, in recognition of a career that has traveled from the battered streets of Marga-ret Thatcher’s Britain in “My Beautiful Laundrette,” to 18th-century France in “Dangerous Liaisons,” seedy Los Angeles in “The Grifters” and Buckingham Palace in “The Queen.”
The 73-year-old direc-tor said that he’d become a filmmaker by accident, and quoted playwright Joe Orton, subject of his 1987 film “Prick Up Your Ears.”
“I’ve got away with it so far,” he said, “and I’m going to go on.”

Shows lauded for green initiativesBURBANK, Calif. (AP) —
TV’s “New Girl,” “Parent-hood” and “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” have been recognized for sup-porting green initiatives by the Environmental Media Association.
The organization pre-
sented its Environmen-tal Media Awards on Sat-urday during a gala dinner that also celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Board member Ed Begley, Jr., lauded the Environmen-tal Media Association for encouraging entertainment
media to serve as a vehicle to educate the public about en-vironmental concerns.
Guests at the dinner pro-gram at Warner Bros. Stu-dios in Burbank, California, included Malin Akerman, Lance Bass, Sara Gilbert, Jeff Goldblum and Arnold
Schwarzenegger.Other winners an-
nounced Saturday were the feature film “Disney-nature Bears,” the docu-mentary “GMO OMG,” the children’s program “Paw Patrol” and the digi-tal video “Should We All Be Eating Insects?”
Digging for sphinxes in CaliforniaGUADALUPE, Calif. (AP)
— Archaeologists working in the sand dunes along the Central California coast are digging up an-cient sphinxes - but these are made of plaster.
More than 90 years ago, legendary filmmaker Ce-cile B. DeMille erected 21 giant sphinxes and an 800-foot-wide tem-ple as a set for the si-lent, black-and-white classic movie “The Ten Commandments.”
But in 1923, when film-ing was over, DeMille abandoned them there among the sands of the G u a d a l u p e - N i p o m o Dunes in Santa Barbara County.
Now, archaeologists are digging for the fragile plaster sphinxes and this week began excavations on one that they hope will eventually be on display at the nearby Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center,
which has raised $120,000 for the dig, the Los Angeles Times reported (http://lat.ms/1wfvsbZ ).
“It’s a once-in-a-life-time kind of site,” said M. Colleen Hamilton, a se-nior historical archaeol-ogist with Applied Earth-Works and project director for the excavation. “I’ve worked on sites all over the country, and I think this one could only happen in California.”
Crews began digging in 2012 and found one sphinx but money for the proj-ect ran out. Parts of that sphinx’s head are on dis-play at the Dunes Center.
When they returned this year for the body, they found the wind had shifted the sand, exposing the plaster and damaging it beyond repair.
But the wind had also revealed a hint of the foot and leg of another sphinx, the Times reported.
“It was a really pleasant
surprise when we found out it was almost a full sphinx,” said Doug Jen-zen, executive director of the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center.
The second sphinx was missing much of its face - but archaeologists had been looking for an intact body to put on display to match the earlier head.
To keep the fragile plas-ter from cracking, the team covered the pieces of the sphinx in liquid consoli-dant and wrapped them in cheesecloth, Hamilton said. They removed sand from the body and filled it with foam to keep it stable.
Residents of Guada-lupe, a small farming com-munity, left the set alone for decades out of respect, said Shirley Boydstun, 86, a member of the Rancho de Guadalupe Historical Society.
“The old-timers have always known it was out there,” she said.

MountAineer idol
Contestants eliminated, 3 move on to final roundBy NICole CurtIN
A&E WritEr @dAilyAthEnAEum
Scott Link and Spenser Wempe hosted the fifth round of elimination of Mountaineer Idol Friday night.
Seniors Patrick Garcia and Alexa Gonzalez and fresh-man Elizabeth Keim ad-vanced to the next round. Each will walk away from Mountaineer Idol with a cash prize.
During the fifth round of elimination, the top-five contestants performed two songs each, one from Broad-way and one from the 21st Century.
Head Judge Shirley Rob-inson judged the competi-tion, along with four guest judges: Lee Blair, an assis-tant professor of acting and
the program director with the West Virginia Univer-sity School of Theatre and Dance; Tara Brooks, the as-sistant dean for the WVU University College; Jacob Bojesson, Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Athenaeum and Carlton Smith, winner of the 2005 Mountaineer Idol who also works for the WVU Po-lice Department.
The show started with con-testants singing songs from the big stage such as “Pure Imagination,” from “Char-lie and the Chocolate Fac-tory,” which was performed by Hannah Harless. “Fall-ing Slowly,” from the Broad-way musical “Once,” was per-formed by Garcia. Gonzalez performed “I Know Where I’ve Been,” from the musical “Hairspray.”
Between the two sections of the night, Link performed a version of Beyoncé’s
“Halo.” Afterward, the rest of the contestants did their best on 21st century songs.
The audience was groov-ing along to Joseph Leytrick singing “Toxic” by Britney Spears and Harless perform-ing “Counting Stars” by One Republic with friends playing the guitar and violin for her.
Garcia also got the crowd engaged with his perfor-mance of “Ghost” by Ella Henderson and Gonzalez sang out Megan Trainer’s “All About That Bass.” Keim wrapped up the evening with “Someone Like You” by Adele and played the piano.
Guest judge Smith per-formed a One Direction song, “Little Things,” on the keyboard while the scores were tallied up and the audi-ence waited on the top-three decision.
After winning in 2005, Smith has returned multiple
times to be a guest judge dur-ing the competition.
“It’s great,” Smith said. “It’s nice to see all of the talent. I love being here and just watching the energy on stage, the good songs. Their voices are just amazing. From when I first started, there’s so much more to go into it. The prep-aration that everyone does each week, they really get ready. The talent has gotten so much stronger.”
As a senior, this is the sec-ond time Gonzalez has com-peted in Mountaineer Idol and the first time she fin-ished in the top-three at the finale.
Gonzalez said things were tense while waiting back-stage at the end.
“I didn’t know,” she said. “I couldn’t pick it. I couldn’t call it. I was nervous...I’m go-ing home with something so that makes me happy, and I
get to sing again. I don’t know if I’ll ever get the chance to do this again. It’s my senior year, so it’s kind of like my last time to perform on stage.”
Garcia is also a senior and this is the third time he has competed. In 2011, he went to the finale and finished in third place as a freshman. He went for the title again in 2012, get-ting eliminated in the fifth round. Last year, he took a break.
“I feel so relieved right now,” Garcia said. “I am go-ing to practice, learn all my words so I don’t have to write them on my arm, and I’ve got a lot of things in my mind so I hope everyone comes out because I’ve got a show prepared.”
This is the first time Eliz-abeth Keim has com-peted in Mountaineer Idol.
“It’s really awesome,” Keim said. “It’s just sad be-cause I got close to them, and it’s sad to see them elim-inated, but I’m happy I’m in the top-three.”
Keim said she will use the next two weeks to find the best song for her and to work on stage presence in prepa-ration for the finale.
The finale will be held at 3 p.m. Nov. 2 in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. Each contestant will per-form three songs: one they already performed, a song chosen by the judges and any song of the contestant’s choice.
There will also be per-formances from the top-15 Mountaineer Idol contes-tants, and the winner will be crowned at the end of the show.

Icona Pop performs at Metropolitan TheatreI LOVE ITBy HannaH Harless
A&E WritEr @DAilyAthEnAEum
Members of the jazz en-sembles at West Virginia University will come to-gether to perform a con-cert at the Creative Arts Center.
Currently, the Univer-sity jazz program con-sists of 12 different jazz ensembles, all with dif-ferent instrumentation. The ensembles within the program perform-ing Monday night in-clude KWSU, Group One, El Trio, Group Two, Wind Group, Organography, The Duo and Little Big Band.
The ensembles per-form under the direction of Professor Paul Scea, the director of Jazz Stud-ies at WVU. Scea is a new music, free-lance jazz and rhythm and blues performer. Scea is also an active composer, ar-ranger, clinician and ad-judicator. Scea gained his experience as a per-former by collaborating with many internation-ally known jazz and pop artists and recording with the Steve Grismore/Paul Scea Group and Damon Short.
The concert will be un-der the conduction of students Alex Heflin and John Posey.
“The jazz ensembles are composed of WVU students from all dif-ferent majors, although the majority of mem-bers are music majors,” Scea said. “Any student can audition to be in a
jazz ensemble. The au-ditions take place the first two days of class in August.”
The program was con-structed to strengthen and promote the genre of music in the area as well as make people in Mor-gantown more knowl-edgeable about jazz, and spark communication between performers and jazz lovers.
The WVU Jazz Ensem-bles have performed at a variety of places in-cluding the Wine & Jazz Festival.
“The concert will be an evening of jazz fea-turing a guitar ensem-ble, a mandolin and gui-tar duo, two quintets, a sextet, an organ trio play-ing the music of Medeski, Martin, & Wood and a Little Big Band playing jazz arrangements of old country standards,” Scea said.
The show opens up with KWSU performing the song, “On a Slow Boat to China,” and is followed by many other pieces in-cluding songs entitled, “A Sweet memory per-formed by Group One,” and “Phase Dance,” per-formed by Wind Group.
“As always, many stu-dent arrangements and compositions will be fea-tured,” Scea said.
The performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Gladys G. Davis The-atre of the Creative Arts Center.

Jazz to take over CAC
By jake jarvIsmAnAGinG EDitor @jAkEjArvisWvu
Everyone from elemen-tary-aged kids to grand-parents came out to enjoy Icona Pop at the Metropol-itan Theatre Friday night.
The night was filled with a spectrum of electronic music from a package of three performances.
Opening for Icona Pop were Five Knives and Lowell.
The most surprising per-formance of the evening came from Lowell, an art-ist I hadn’t heard of before the concert. She began the show performing to ap-proximately 150 audience members and seemed vis-ibly disappointed by the small crowd.
“You guys are all sitting down out there,” Lowell said. “That’s okay - there’s chairs. But you should dance. I’m dancing.”
Despite the small size, she warmed up the crowd
as more trickled in from the back. I particularly loved her performance of “The Bells.” It was ethereal and almost hypnotic to lis-ten to.
This took a quick turn with “I Love Money.” It be-gan with a fluttering beat that picked up as her vo-cals soared into a higher register. Audience mem-bers finally stood up and clapped along.
While Lowell was sub-dued, the following act, Five Knives, was anything but.
They crashed on stage with an electronic-punk fury and leather pants all around.
The band’s performance was a real party for the au-dience. It was at this time that even more audience members trickled in from the back.
Even though Five Knives was great, they didn’t stand out enough to persuade me to listen to any more of their music. Sure, if they
came across my Pandora station, I’d give it a thumbs up - but that’s about it.
Finally, about an hour and a half later, it was time for Icona Pop to perform. Lights dimmed. People screamed.
In perfect synchroniza-tion, Caroline Hjelt and Aino Jawo, slid on stage. Their smiles seemed to say, “We know you love us. We love you too.”
As they continued, I got the sense that Hjelt felt ill. She locked eye contact with Jawo and grabbed her stomach. After the first song, Hjelt was a little more reserved. Each time she had to sing alone, how-ever, she pepped right back up.
I came in knowing I would love Icona Pop’s music, but I didn’t expect to leave loving the artists as much as I did.
Jawo’s dancing was a combination of awkward-white-guy and drunk-raver, but it worked.
I could sense an in-fectious sense of friend-ship, happiness and free-dom between the women. When they sang “Girl-friend,” it was like the au-dience disappeared for a few moments.
They shimmied and shaked together like teen-age girls at a slumber party.
The night kept build-ing with each song until the audience felt the night ending.
We all came for one rea-son: “I Love It.” Of course they made us wait until the very end.
The group’s hit single was the last and most ener-gized song of the night. Ev-eryone, from the children to the grandma in the back of the audience, jumped.
If you weren’t there, you missed more than a con-cert. Icona Pop delivered a one-of-a-kind experience the moment they stepped on stage.

MEN’S SOCCER
Mountaineers fall to Akron Friday
by ryAn Minnighsports writer
@dailyathenaeum
Just when it looked like West Virginia could do no wrong, it all went wrong against Akron.
The Mountaineers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead by controlling the ball and get-ting plenty of scoring chances. However, the tables turned quickly, and the Zips scored three unanswered goals to de-feat the Mountaineers 3-2 Fri-day night.
The Zips got a goal from Stuart Holthusen, Adam Na-
jem and Nate Shultz. Goal-keeper Jake Fenlason also made two stops on the eve-ning for Akron.
Andy Bevin, who scored both of the Mountaineers’ goals, also had three of the team’s four shots on goal. Lee Johnston made four saves in the loss.
The Mountaineers wasted no time trying to win the pos-session battle against the Zips. West Virginia kept the ball on its side of the pitch and good things began to happen.
In the 12th minute, West Virginia regained possession on a Mike Desiderio header
that went to Jamie Merriam. Merriam then sent the ball behind him, sending Bevin in a dead sprint to gain posses-sion. Bevin corralled the pass and put home his sixth goal of the season, making it 1-0.
The Mountaineers nearly had two more goals on near misses by Ryan Cain and De-siderio. Cain hit a spinning shot that fell just off the goal. Desiderio tried to capitalize off an Akron defensive mis-take, but Fenlason punched away the shot.
Akron got its first chance of the game, but the Mountain-eers kept winning the posses-
sion battle. Bevin came through again
for the Mountaineers from in-side the box, scoring off a de-flection by Fenlason to put the Mountaineers up 2-0 with just under 20 minutes to play in the first half.
Akron then caught fire. Two minutes later, Richie Laryea found Holthusen, and Akron was on the board, trailing 2-1.
Just more than a minute af-ter their first goal, Akron was back on the attack again. Ak-ron took the ball deep into Mountaineer territory and got a foul just outside of the box. Instead of getting the penalty
kick, the Zips settled for a free kick, but still finished the play. Adam Najem took the free kick, and it sailed through the Mountaineer wall to knot the game at 2-2 at 28 minutes.
Both Akron and West Vir-ginia had chances to score their third goal in the final minutes of the first half, but the score remained tied at halftime.
As the second half started, the Zips wasted no time tak-ing the lead. Just more than 6 minutes into the second half, Robby Dambrot passed off to Shultz, who slid and found the back of the net for his first goal
of the season, giving the Zips their first lead of the game, 3-2.
At 57 minutes, West Vir-ginia lost Jamie Merriam due to a red card. West Virginia nearly conceded a fourth goal to Akron, but Johnston came through with another save.
The Mountaineers did not get another shot on goal the rest of the game and fell in its second MAC game of the sea-son, 3-2, to Akron.
West Virginia (6-6-1), will step away from MAC play Wednesday when they travel to No. 5 Penn State.

WOMEN’S SOCCER
West Virginia dominates over weekendby ryan petroVich
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia wom-en’s soccer team came away with two victories this past weekend. The Mountaineers have fin-ished out their regular season road games on a strong note.
Friday night, West Vir-ginia handled a struggling Iowa State team. West Virginia downed the Cy-clones 3-0.
“I thought the girls did a great job of keeping their
focus for the shutout,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a release. “We wanted to take care of the ball and keep it on the turf, and I think the team did a great job of that.”
The Mountaineers reg-istered 14 shots in the first half and finished the night with 23 shots on goal.
West Virginia, however, wouldn’t find the back of the net until the second half. Senior forward Kate Schwindel got the Moun-taineers on the board.
“That big goal was criti-cal for us, and it was great
that it came from our se-nior leader,” Izzo-Brown said. “It was huge for us and for Kate.”
Freshman Michaela Abam continues to im-press as well. After net-ting a goal against the Cy-clones, she now has the most goals for the Moun-taineers with five.
The third Mountaineer goal came from Amanda Hill. Hill’s goal solidified West Virginia’s victory.
While the Cyclones weren’t able to match the Mountaineers, West Vir-ginia was faced with a dif-
ficult task Sunday after-noon when it took No. 9 Kansas.
Unlike the first half against the Cyclones – the Mountaineers were able to get on the board in the second half.
Schwindel scored the Mountaineers’ first goal against Kansas. The senior forward found the goal in-side the box after an assist from Ashley Lawrence.
“These two goals by Kate (Sunday) speak vol-umes to what type of striker she is,” Izzo-Brown said. “Our senior cap-
tain stepped up huge this weekend, netting three goals, including those to-day against the nation’s No. 9 team, and I’m proud of her effort.”
Schwindel wouldn’t stop there. However, she added to WVU’s lead, con-necting on another goal from yet another assist from Lawrence.
The Mountaineers re-corded their second straight shut out win and improved their unbeaten streak to 12 games.
“Kansas is ninth in the country for a reason, and I
give them tons of compli-ments,” Izzo-Brown said. “This is one of the better attacks we’ve faced this season, and I thought we handled it well.”
Now at 10-2-2 (4-0-1 in the Big 12), the Moun-taineers have established themselves – once again – as top contenders in the Big 12.
The team will return home this weekend for two home games against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) – The road to the College Football Playoffs is open for Florida State after a thrilling victory Saturday night.
The No. 2 Seminoles
passed their toughest test by holding on against then-No. 5 Notre Dame with a second-half come-back orchestrated by quar-terback Jameis Winston.
The Seminoles (7-0, 4-0
ACC) control their own destiny, and no currently ranked teams remain on the schedule. They are one of only three top-five teams that are still un-defeated, and both No. 1 Mississippi State and No. 3 Ole Miss have at least two more games against ranked teams. The Bull-dogs and Rebels face each other in the regular-sea-son finale in the Egg Bowl,
so one is guaranteed to end the season with a loss.
“You can say what-ever you want: This team is dominant,” FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. “This team understands how to win. ... This team has tremendous what I call adversity tolerance. It doesn’t flinch. It can deal with anything.”
The Seminoles just aren’t last season’s title
team. Instead of setting of-fensive records, the scor-ing offense ranks No. 21 in the country. Instead of a defense that set a school record for interceptions, the pass defense is ranked No. 60 and has given up big games to Notre Dame quarterback Everett Gol-son, N.C. State’s Jacoby Brissett, Clemson fresh-man Deshaun Watson and Oklahoma State’s J.W. Walsh.
The ‘Noles have three victories by less than a touchdown.
But Florida State finds ways to win and still has the reigning Heisman Tro-phy winner in Winston, who completed 15 of 16 passes during the second-half comeback against the Fighting Irish.
“We don’t have any-thing to prove to anybody,” Winston said. “We’ve just got to keep playing and hopefully things will go our way. But one thing we are consistently proving is that we are winners.
“And no matter what type of adversity we may face, we are family here at Florida State and we play hard.”
Louisville (6-2) pres-ents the biggest challenge for Florida State with a total defense that ranks
No. 1 in the country and a scoring defense ranked No. 4. But its 59th-ranked scoring offense could be a problem in trying to pull off an upset against FSU. A Thursday night game Oct. 30 doesn’t help much considering the Seminoles have an off week to pre-pare and get healthy.
The rest of the ACC op-ponents on the FSU sched-ule - Virginia, Miami and Boston College - are each 4-3. The Seminoles will be heavy favorites in all three.
Rival Florida (3-3) looms in the season finale, but 2014 has been abysmal for the Gators, who have dropped 3 of 4, including a 42-13 home loss to Mis-souri on Saturday. Coach Will Muschamp may be sitting on the hottest seat in the country.
A loss would put Florida State in a precarious po-sition without anyone left on the schedule to impress the selection committee. The Seminoles won’t have to worry about that if they can keep winning.
“That’s one thing we can do - we can go four quar-ters,” FSU linebacker Ter-rance Smith said. “A lot of teams, they fizzle out to-ward the end, but we know how to fight and play four quarters. Sixty minutes.”

Serena Williams hits back at russian officialSINGAPORE (AP) – Serena
Williams says comments by the head of the Russian Ten-nis Federation referring to her and older sister Venus as “brothers” were bullying, sexist and racist, and that she supported the one-year suspension imposed by the WTA against the official.
Shamil Tarpischev was also fined $25,000 for mak-ing the comments on Rus-sian television. He also said the sisters were “scary” to look at.
“I think the WTA did a great job of taking (the) ini-tiative and taking immedi-
ate action to his comments,” Williams said Sunday in Sin-gapore ahead of her WTA Finals defense. “I thought they were very insensitive and extremely sexist as well as racist at the same time. I thought they were in a way bullying.”
Asked whether he re-gretted his comments, Tar-pischev told The Associated Press on Saturday at the Kremlin Cup that the pro-gram on which he spoke was “a humorous show.” When asked about his ban, Tar-pischev said: “I can’t com-ment. I don’t understand it.”
In a statement released later by the Russian Tennis Federation, Tarpischev de-nied any “malicious intent” and said his quotes had been taken out of context.
The WTA said it would seek his removal as chair-man of the Kremlin Cup tournament, which ends Sunday.
Russia’s Maria Sharapova, also in Singapore for the WTA Finals, condemned her compatriot’s comments.
“I think they were very disrespectful and uncalled for, and I’m glad that many people have stood up, in-
cluding the WTA. It was very inappropriate, especially in his position and all the re-sponsibilities that he has not just in sport, but being part of the Olympic commit-tee,” she said.
Tarpischev has been chairman of the Krem-lin Cup, Russia’s only WTA event, for all of its 18 years as a women’s tour event, and is also a member of the In-ternational Olympic Com-mittee. During the 1990s, he was the personal tennis coach to Russian President Boris Yeltsin and served as his adviser on sports
matters.He made his comments
during an appearance on a Russian talk show this month alongside former Olympic singles champion Elena Dementieva. When Dementieva was asked what it was like playing against the Williams sisters, Tarpischev interjected and called them the “Williams brothers.” He also said that “it’s scary when you really look at them.”
Williams, the world num-ber 1 at the age of 33, is going into the WTA Finals on the back of another stellar year,
winning six titles including the US Open. But she pulled out of the China Open ear-lier this month with a knee injury, triggering some con-cerns she might not make the Singapore.
The draw for the year-end competition – starting Mon-day at the 10,000-capacity Singapore Indoor Stadium – puts Williams in the Red Group with 23-year-old Si-mona Halep and 20-year-old Eugenie Bouchard as well as the more experi-enced Ana Ivanovic, the only one of her three oppo-nents ever to beat her.

West Virginia shocks No. 4 Baylor, 41-27, at home Saturday, returns to AP Top-25by connor murray
sports editor @connorkmurray
In terms of matchups with top-five opponents, the third time was indeed the charm for West Virginia.
The Mountaineers put themselves in the thick of the Big 12 title hunt with an im-probable 41-27 victory over No. 4 Baylor Saturday.
By all accounts, the Moun-taineers should not have won this game. Then again, maybe neither team should have.
West Virginia overcame three turnovers and the loss of three starters: Running back Rushel Shell and cor-ners Daryl Worley and Ter-rell Chestnut.
Baylor helped the Moun-taineers’ cause, giving up the most penalty yardage in Big
12 history with 215 after be-ing called for 18 penalties.
After squandering their two previous chances at top-five upsets, head coach Dana Holgorsen said the Moun-taineers had a different look about them heading into this game.
“I’m proud of the way we practiced all week and proud of our mentality. Guys were ready to play,” he said.
“We’ve been in this sit-uation against some pretty good teams, and we weren’t able to finish. I’m proud of the guys and the way they finished to get a big win here at home.”
Six teams had tried to stop Baylor’s offense coming into this week, and six teams had failed. West Virginia’s defense accomplished that feat, slow-ing down the No. 1 offense in the nation enough to secure
the Mountaineers’ most ful-filling win of the season.
“Holding Baylor to 318 yards on 80 plays I would say is something nobody thought that we’d be able to do,” Holgorsen said.
While most of the teams Baylor has played this season opted to drop as many men into coverage as possible, let-ting quarterback Bryce Petty have time to go through his progressions, West Virginia broke away from that script.
The Mountaineers bum-rushed the Baylor signal caller from the get-go Satur-day, sacking him four times and making it difficult to find time to throw time and time again.
“It seemed like most teams were sitting back on Baylor, not getting after the quarterback, letting him throw it and dropping eight
(men). We didn’t want to let that happen,” said linebacker Wes Tonkery.
“He didn’t have the break-out game that he’s had the past six games. I think it af-fected him.”
West Virginia’s defense has taken its lumps since joining the Big 12. Under first year defensive coordinator Tony Gibson, the Mountaineers were ready to turn the cor-ner against Baylor.
“We haven’t made any changes. We’re just execut-ing. Guys are starting to un-derstand the defense more. It showed here today, and it’s going to show going for-ward,” Tonkery said.
In its previous two games against top-five opponents this season, West Virginia was competitive but couldn’t get over the hump when it counted the most. Despite
all the aforementioned ad-versity they had to deal with in this game, the Mountain-eers found a way to buck that trend.
“We just stayed together. We never fell apart. Leading going into halftime 24-20, we knew it was going to be a dog fight coming out,” said run-ning back Dreamius Smith.
“We never fell apart. We stayed together as a team, kept everybody up, and as you can see, it paid off.”
After finally finishing off an upset, the Mountaineers find themselves back in the AP Top-25 for the first time since Oct. 2012.
No. 22 West Virginia will look to increase its suddenly realistic Big 12 title hopes on the road against Oklahoma State Saturday.

WVu’s defense silences baylor’s explosive offense
by anthony Pecoraroassociate sports editor
@pecorarowvunews
For a team that it seemed nearly impossible to stop offensively, West Virginia’s defense was able to hold the Baylor Bears to just 27 points – almost half of the points the Bears have been averaging in 2014 with 52.7 per game coming into Mor-gantown Saturday.
With the No. 22 Moun-taineers able to capitalize offensively, more so as the game progressed, and be-ing able to put up 41 points of their own, the upset in-side of a packed Milan Pus-kar Stadium all fell right into place for WVU.
Even with key injuries defensively for the Moun-taineers’ top-two corners in sophomore Daryl Wor-ley and redshirt junior Terrell Chestnut, the rest of the defense stepped up in huge ways when they needed to.
And that is something much easier said than done when the Bears have been exploding all season on offense, but with the Mountaineer defense be-ing able to hold them to a season-low 318 yards and 95 total rushing yards, de-fensive coordinator Tony Gibson said he and his de-fense were ready for Baylor to light up the scoreboard, as they’ve been doing all
season, but the effort he saw out of his defense blew him away to be able to hold the Bears to only 27 points.
“We knew Baylor was going to score points and move the football, and ev-eryone they play, and for us to be able to do what we did today – I haven’t been part of a defensive effort like that in 20 years of coaching,” Gibson said. “The kids were locked in all day and just stepped up.
“(I) give all the credit to the kids – they played hard, (they) played from (the) first whistle to the last whistle. We knew coming in (that) it was go-ing to be a physical game, we knew we had to play
for four quarters and (the) kids came out and exe-cuted. I thought we could get to them, I didn’t think we could be as effective as we were.”
The Bears were also only able to convert a mere three out of their 16 oppor-tunities on third downs – another season-low for them and that was par-tially due to the stellar per-formance out of redshirt senior defensive lineman Shaq Riddick, who had a trio of sacks on Bears’ quarterback Bryce Petty, but he said that’s not what he’s most proud of out of Saturday’s game.
“To be honest, getting the (win) is what I’m more
ecstatic about – we’ve been wanting this so bad, we just wanted to get the (win),” Riddick said. “We let two top-five teams slip away and we didn’t want that to happen again. If we win in the Big 12, (then) I’m satis-fied with my season here.”
With the confidence booster that Saturday’s upset victory over a top-five team for the Moun-taineers was – considering that’s the first top-five win for WVU since the 2008 Fi-esta Bowl when the Moun-taineers upset No. 3 Okla-homa – all eyes will be on the Mountaineers in the weeks to come.

Much momentum
moving forwardAfter unseating No. 4
Baylor from the ranks of the unbeaten Saturday, one can’t help but think this is West Virginia’s year to make some serious noise in the Big 12.
T h e Mo u n t a i n e e r s proved in Weeks 1 and 4 they could hang with the big dogs when they took then-No. 2 Alabama and then-No. 4 Oklahoma down to the wire before falling just short of upsets.
Saturday’s monumen-tal win proved West Vir-ginia head coach Dana Holgorsen has his squad trending in the right di-rection after many WVU faithfuls were calling for his job after last season’s 4-8 campaign.
On paper, Baylor was one of the best teams I’ve seen in a while. The Bears owned the nation’s No. 1 offense, No. 15 rush-ing attack and No. 10 de-fense heading into Satur-day’s matchup against the Mountaineers and were led by a Heisman Trophy candidate at quarterback.
Despite being helped by Baylor’s massive pen-alty yardage deficit, West Virginia appeared to be in the driver’s seat during all four quarters of a game in which it was eight-point underdogs.
Former FCS All-Ameri-can and senior defensive end Shaq Riddick finally had his coming out party, dropping Baylor quarter-back Bryce Petty three times.
More importantly, the Mountaine ers f inal ly looked like the polished unit the coaching staff has been raving about since fall camp.
Senior quarterback Clint Trickett has been the biggest piece of the puzzle this season and has been nothing short of spectac-ular. Although Trickett is susceptible to an errant throw every now and then, his poise and leadership under center is the cog in the Mountaineers’ potent offensive attack.
However, this season is Trickett’s last in Morgan-town and there’s no doubt he would like to put his staple on the program.
The rest of the Moun-taineers’ Big 12 schedule is a bit daunting, but if Satur-day’s win proved anything, it’s that West Virginia is a serious Big 12 title con-tender. A trip to Oklahoma State this weekend and home matchups against No. 12 TCU and No. 14 Kansas State figure to be the last big tests the Moun-taineers face this season.
I believe the time is now in Morgantown, and West Virginia has more momen-tum than ever. Holgorsen said his team had the best week of practice prior to the Baylor game since be-coming head coach in 2011, and you have to like where the Mountaineers are at mentally after Sat-urday’s win.
After a tumultuous start to his Big 12 head coach-ing career, I believe Hol-gorsen finally has the Mountaineers on track to contend for a Big 12 title this season with West Vir-ginia sitting in second be-hind Kansas State in the conference standings.
If the Mountaineers can maintain focus and build on Saturday’s win, there’s no telling how high the ceiling is for this team.
