Speak-Up talks tobacco free WVUby sam bosserman
correspondent @dailyathenaeum
Senior West Virginia Uni-versity administrators par-ticipated in a speak-up event put together by the WVU Student Government Association Friday evening. The event focused on the new smoking ban, which was implemented for the current academic year.
During the event, stu-dents voiced their concerns about the ban and asked
questions.Students in the audience
said they thought that as it stands now, the ban is doing more harm than good. Two Resident Assistants said they did not feel comfort-able telling their residents to go off campus to smoke and the alternative locations weren’t safe, particularly at night, when lighting is often an issue.
These RAs, as well as sev-eral others students who de-clared themselves against the ban, suggested putting
in place designated smok-ing areas around campus.
Philip Creamer, a junior biology and Russian stud-ies student, said he thought designated smoking areas were a good compromise to the ban.
“I completely agree with indoor smoking bans on campus, but outdoor smok-
ing is a completely different matter,” Creamer said. “I think the research on sec-ondhand smoke affecting people outside is inconclu-sive, and policy decisions such as this ban should not be made when the science to back it up isn’t clear.
“I think that designated smoking areas on campus
would be a fair compro-mise … both sides could come away content with that solution.”
Colleen Harshbarger, director of Wellness and Health Promotion with WellWVU: The Students’ Center of Health, coun-tered Creamer’s assertions, when she said there is abun-dant research on the nega-tive health effects of second-hand smoke.
“World Health Organiza-tion, CDC and surgeon gen-eral reports all back up what
the ban is trying to accom-plish … It really comes back to the fact that there is no safe level of tobacco smoke,” Harshbarger said.
Harshbarger said she thought setting up desig-nated smoking areas is a bad idea.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea based on the prece-dence that’s been done else-where,” she said. “I think it’ll be a waste of money, and I also think it goes against

Survivor story: WVU mom shares personal battle with breast cancer by aLyssa PLUCHIno
staff Writer @dailyathenaeum
During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is important to remem-ber those who have lost their lives to the disease and to celebrate the lives of survivors.
Although breast cancer is a terrifying journey that can seem like a lost cause, each woman who has sur-vived the disease has a cou-
rageous tale that proves the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
Patricia Adams was 49 years old when she was diag-nosed with stage one breast cancer. Her only daughter, Hope, a public relations stu-dent from Keyser, W.Va., was a sophomore in high school at the time. Adams had no family history of breast cancer.
“I was in shock when I first heard I had it. I remember sitting in the room getting
treatment with other cancer patients and seeing the fear in their faces,” Adams said. “It was hard to keep a posi-tive attitude when there is so
much hopelessness in oth-ers faces.
“It was sad, but my daugh-ter kept me with a positive at-titude, because I knew I had to fight through it for her.”
Nearly half a year after her initial diagnosis and af-ter going through months of chemotherapy and radia-tion, Adams was told she was cancer-free.
Despite the fact the cancer drastically changed Adams’ hormones, which left her with negative side effects
both emotionally and sex-ually, the devoted mother chose to remain focused on the positive things. While the chemotherapy caused Adams to lose her hair, it grew back with thick waves she never had before.
“I live life more to the full-est. I am a horticulturalist and own a small garden cen-ter. Every time I buy flowers, I notice the beauty more in the world,” Adams said. “(I have) learned to appreciate the small things.”
Both Adams and her daughter encourage women of all ages to have consistent breast examinations to make sure they are healthy.
Anyone can develop breast cancer, whether they have a family history or not. It is important to be in-formed on the subject and know the warning signs that may present themselves in the early stages of the disease.
““It was sad, but my daughter kept me with a positive attitude, because I knew I had to fight through it for her.”

Sorority sends smooches overseas

The West Virginia Uni-versity chapter of Pi Beta Phi signed postcards with a kiss Sunday afternoon as the sorority aspires to lift the spirits of U.S. troops.
Cosmopolitan mag-azines’s “Kisses for the Troops” asks certain chap-ters from different regions to participate in the fund-raising event, and this is the second year WVU’s Pi Beta Phi has been invited to participate.
“I was contacted by a representative of Cosmo-politan, saying that we were selected again,” said Taylor Manella, a senior biochem-istry students and vice pres-ident of event planning for Pi Beta Phi. “From there, they sent me everything I needed to put on this event.”
The event, which in-
cluded participants from all across campus, ben-efited the United Service Organization.
“The way it works is you come to the house and you kiss a postcard with a little message, and then they’re sent overseas to all of the men and women fighting for us,” said Kayla Drans-field, a senior anthropol-ogy student and vice pres-ident of philanthropy for Pi Beta Phi. “It’s just a little up-lifting message to let them know that we’re thinking about them back at home, and every post card you kiss donates a dollar to the USO.”
Current military mem-bers were also present, making the event espe-cially meaningful to many attendees.
“It was an honor to thank them personally,” Manella said. “I have

Participants hurled their pumpkins off the top of the Benjamin M. Statler Engi-neering tower. The team who landed their pumpkin closest to the designated target won the competition.
While the dropping por-tion of the competition is what most spectators en-joy, there is more to the challenge than first meets
the eye. The participating teams must effectively de-sign a safety pod around their team’s pumpkin that will protect it during the 11-story plunge.
Of the 300 participat-ing teams, only 74 teams’ pumpkin survived the plunge.
The first place prize of $100 was awarded to “The Pumpkinators” of Sun-crest Middle School. This team managed to land four inches from the targeted spot.
A team from Morgan-
town High School earned second place and $50, landing 11 inches from the target.
Finally, team “P Dizzle,” also from Suncrest Middle School, claimed the third place and $25 by landing 1 foot and 11 inches from the mark.
Though only nine partic-ipants won prizes, senior engineering student Dan-iel Ketz of United Techni-cal Center said no matter what, the experience itself was rewarding.
“We just started this
week,” Ketz said. “We’re do-ing this for the fun of it.”
Elijah Shaw, an eighth grade student from Dod-dridge Middle School, said he was excited to attend the event for the third year in a row, and this year he was a team leader.
“It’s a way to get out of school and it’s fun,” Shaw said.
The faculty at Dod-dridge allows students to participate as a re-ward for distinguished grades.
“Using this as an ex-
cuse to get out of school for a day hides the fact that he is a very good en-gineer,” said Jen Davisson, a teacher at Doddridge Middle School. “This gives the kids an opportunity to take what they learned in the classroom and actu-ally apply it to something and see it in action, and until they put it to use they don’t see the relevance in it.”
WVU’s Mountaineer Mascot Jonathan Kimble made an appearance, as well. When an ear-shatter-
ing musket blast alarmed the attendees, Kimble stood up on the building steps and began shout-ing classic University chants.
“Its fun going to the schools and hearing how excited they are to come Morgantown. It’s a chance for them to see the cam-pus,” Kimble said. “We re-ally have competition against the whole en-tire state in the Pumpkin Drop.”

what a tobacco-free cam-pus is all about.”
Students raised their concern that the ban hasn’t been effectively en-forced. These students
said they still saw peo-ple smoking on campus and have even seen WVU police officers walk by with-out saying anything.
In response to these com-ments, WVU police chief Bob Roberts said it often comes down to the individ-ual officers.
Roberts said since smok-ing is not illegal, his depart-
ment does not want to get too involved in the ban’s en-forcement. He said the only course of action a police of-ficer would have if a student refused to put out their cig-arette would be to arrest the individual for trespassing.
Corey Farris, WVU dean of students, said he thinks students are doing a good job of enforcing the policy on themselves.
“We are not a police state … hardcore enforcement is not the way to get people to change their behavior,” Far-ris said. “It’s going to take one-on-one interactions between students … it’s go-ing to take one student go-ing up to another and say-ing, ‘Please don’t smoke here, it bothers me.’
“On the other side of that equation, students who smoke will have to say to themselves, ‘OK, it’s a to-bacco-free campus, I need to go someplace else where I am allowed to smoke.’”
Farris said he was happy the SGA had put together the event, and despite the often contentious nature of the issues being discussed, he said both the administra-tors and students were re-spectful to each other.

The event also included makeup artists who prepped those who kissed the post cards.
“It’s a great cause,” said Joy Lager, a Beauty by Joy repre-sentative. “It’s good to keep (the soldiers’) morale up while they’re overseas and let them know we’re think-ing about them back here, even if it’s something as small as a post card with a kiss on it.”
The “Kisses for the Troops” event was meant to give back to the troops, and Pi Beta Phi
contributed in a great way.“I’m really excited to do
it. We really appreciate ev-erything they do for us, and we want to just give back as much as we can,” Drans-field said. “We’re really ex-cited to be putting this on for everybody, and we’re really impressed with the turnout.”

Flash mob ‘thrills’ mountainlair saturdayby LaUra HaIgHT
staff Writer @dailyathenaeum
Zombies invaded the Mountainlair food court Saturday afternoon as part of a worldwide record-breaking attempt for the largest simultaneous per-formance of the dance from the video for Michael Jack-son’s hit song “Thriller.”
The flash mob, “Thrill the World,” coordinated danc-ers across the world to be-gin the dance exactly at the same time, regardless of time zone differences. In Morgantown, the time was 4 p.m.
Participants decked out in full zombie gear made sure to stay in character through-out the entire performance.
Gemma Fountain, a West Virginia University alumna, has participated in this dance since 2009.
Although dancer turn-out this year was low, Foun-tain said she felt comfort in knowing people around the world were dancing with
her. “You’re part of a global ef-
fort, which unites you in a way that’s awesome,” Foun-tain said. “I’m doing this right this very second and people are doing it all over the world at the exact same time.”
Thousands of people in different cities connected online to register their town in an attempt to collectively break the record. She said the best part about it was having fun while doing something unique.
“Whether it’s one person, or a hundred people danc-ing, we’re still dancing for fun,” Fountain said. “It’s a world record, it’s different.”
Attendance of dancers was recorded sent to “Thrill the World,” and will then be sent for evaluation on whether or not a record was broken.
“We won’t know for a few weeks. ‘Thrill the World’ will collect the tallies from all the events,” Fountain said.
Rachel Gregory, a se-nior industrial engineering
student, coordinated prac-tices for the performance in the weeks leading up to the event.
As a Zumba instructor and Michael Jackson fan, Gregory said she enjoyed performing the “Thriller” dance with her peers.
“Dance is a way to for-get everything that you’re doing. You’re expressing yourself; you’re having fun,” Gregory said. “It’s a way to let loose.”
She said she believed the event was successful and it got people up and moving.
“I encourage peo-ple to get out there and dance. It’s a healthy feel-ing. It’s contagious,” Gregory said. “Go have fun.”
Gregory and her fellow dancers caked their faces with fake blood and wore torn outfits.
The group will find out in a few weeks the total amount of dancers who participated.

Stallone and Schwarzenegger return to the screen in ‘Escape Plan’
Two of Hollywood’s most distinguished action movie stars, Sylvester Stal-lone and Arnold Schwar-zenegger, returned to the big screen as co-stars in the new film “Escape Plan.”
The over-exaggerated film could be considered subpar by today’s stan-dards, but it was reminis-cent of the classic action flicks. Cheesy one-lin-ers and outrageous stunts brought to mind classic series like “The Termi-nator” and the “Rambo” films.
Now, we can add “Es-cape Plan” to the long list
of movies that withstands the test of time.
The film, directed by Mikael Hafstrom, follows professional escape art-ist Ray Breslin (Stallone) as he goes undercover as an inmate in some of the country’s most se-cure prisons. It’s his job to break out and expose any weaknesses the facilities have.
Accepting a job at a top-secret prison, called The Tomb, turns out to be the biggest mistake of Breslin’s life. This time, breaking out is the real deal.
While inside, Breslin enlists the help of fellow inmate Emil Rottmayer (Schwarzenegger). When-ever it looks like things are going well, Warden
Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) foils their plans. Schwar-zenegger’s character is hi-larious in his failure, mak-ing this performance his funniest since “Jingle All the Way.”
Clearly, the duo are well past their prime, but the film plays off that to cre-ate humor. Their ban-ter is enjoyable to watch. “Escape Plan” is a re-freshing change from the all too serious, melodra-matic action movies of late.
Compared to most big-budget action films, such as the newer “Die Hard” films or “The Expend-ables,” this movie was rel-atively low-key. No over-the-top special effects and no outrageous stunts were featured in “Escape Plan”.
The set was practical and realistic, adding to the ap-peal of the mostly down-to-earth movie.
Hafstrom does an ade-quate job of diverting the viewer’s attention away from the film’s predictabil-ity. The twists and turns are disguised well enough to hold suspense through-out the two-hour movie.
Despite its light-hearted tone, strong language and violence were a staple in the movie, as is to be ex-pected in an R-rated film.
Whether you’re a fan of cheesy, old-fashioned ac-tion movies or not, “Es-cape Plan” features two of the genre’s most re-nowned stars and is plenty of fun for everybody.
‘The Counselor’ proves to be predictable, falls short of expectations
“The Counselor,” Cor-mac McCarthy’s first screen play, fell short of audience’s expectations.
In the movie, an un-named lawyer, “counselor,” is involved with a $20 mil-lion-dollar drug deal with his former client, Reiner. The drug scandal begins in Mexico, where a group of men in the drug cartel are hiding cocaine in a truck to
be transported across the border. Of course the deal goes bad, and the once for-ward and well-put charac-ter, “counselor,” turns into a train wreck not worth watch-ing by the end of the film.
The cast consists of Penel-ope Cruz (“Pirates of the Ca-
ribbean: On Stranger Tides,”) Michael Fassbender (“Pro-metheus,”) Cameron Diaz (“Bad Teacher,”) Javier Bar-dem (“No Country For Old Men”) and Brad Pitt (“World War Z”). Even with these re-nown names, the movie lacks in originality, enthusi-
asm and a specific focus.“All the Pretty Horses,
Sunset Unlimited” and “The Road,” written by McCar-thy, turned into great mov-ies. One of McCarthy’s well-known accomplishments was with his book “No Country For Old Men,” was produced as a film in 2007 and received four Academy Awards. To think that “The Counselor” was produced by the same man is quizzical.
The film has a scatter-brained plot which is sex-obsessed and hard to keep aligned. The scenes jump from poor arguments to weird hook-ups to constant meetings between only two characters, which don‘t serve a true purpose to the plot, filled with never-end-ing spiels on love, the mean-ings of life, sex and women.
The movie starts with the counselor (Fassbender) and Laura (Cruz), his soon-to-be fiance, hiding under the sheets and reciting cliched, stiff dialogue. Something as simple as a love scene shouldn’t be difficult to act, but the characters’ words make it seem like they are distance and unsure of one another even though they are in “love.”
The only comical scene
in the entire movie is when Malkina (Diaz) goes to a confessional and tries to ag-gravate a priest by talking about inappropriate things like “I think that women might make up sexy things to tell you just to make you crazy,” and even asks him “What if my sins are unforgivable?”
Her taunting works and the priest storms out the of church leaving the crowd of women sitting on the pews.
Aside from the few unin-tentional funny moments, Diaz’s character is over-played and dripping with pretentiousness. It was ob-vious that her character was intended to be one of low morals, toughness and arousal.
The entire film tries to be too over the top. It seems that every character was given a major role in which they had some “meaning-ful” insight on life. They just become a puppet for these long speeches instead of ac-tual characters with their own meanings.
Overall, the dialogue is dry, the plot is easily guessed and the overall quality of “The Counselor” is not good.

Movie reviews
The impending addition of an LGBT studies center at WVU is a huge step in the right direction for the school’s future.
Among our peer insti-tutions within the Big 12, we are one of only three schools that do not al-ready have a center dedi-cated solely to addressing and researching issues per-taining solely to the LGBT community.
If that wasn’t bad enough, some of these schools have been ahead of us in this area for as many as 15 years.
Furthermore, the cur-rent Campus Pride In-dex, which is ranked on a scale of 1 through 5, is a shocking 1.5 in compari-son to the next lowest be-ing a 3 among our peer
institutions. Considering most of
these states are ironi-cally Republican strong-holds, with the exception of maybe Iowa, it does not bode well the issues LQBT students and faculty face on campus and within the community have been somewhat overlooked to date. Clearly there is more work to be done on the topic on WVU’s campus.
However, with the re-cent focus on a LGBT cen-ter and expanded efforts to address potential bullying on campus, as well as the work of multiple student organizations focused to-ward like causes, there is a forthcoming and very positive correlation be-tween the increased fo-cus WVU has put forward with regard to both equal-ity and protection against discrimination.
There has been a con-sistent effort within the
Student Government As-sociation’s current admin-istration to lobby for the center. Not only that, but among their master proj-ect list – viewable on the SGA website – are other re-lated projects such as gen-
der-neutral bathrooms and a Student Diversity Group. They should absolutely be applauded and congratu-lated for their hard work.
At the end of the day though, it comes down to the senior administration
and the Board of Governors at WVU to act decisively on the topic at hand. They, too, ultimately deserve the credit for taking the neces-sary steps to further WVU’s Strategic 2020 plan.
By implementing these steps, the WVU campus be-comes more LGBT friendly ,and it will ultimately lead to better understanding of the issues that some of our fellow Mountaineers face on a day-to-day basis.
The idea that no student, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orienta-tion, gender identity, dis-ability or sex should ever have to face bullying or any sort of discrimination should be at the very core of a college institution’s mission. In doing so, WVU only proves it is further striving to fulfill its man-dates by the state of West Virginia.
This will not only serve as a center for advocacy
and research, but it will also be a place where stu-dents can congregate and form a sort of campus pride that their alma mater is a place where diversity is both celebrated and val-ued; it will ingrain the idea that a facet of who you are does not explicitly define you as a person.
In a future context, one would hope implemen-tation of these steps will serve the aforementioned purposes, and also pay fu-ture dividends on multiple levels for the investment WVU is about to make.
While sometimes the wheels of justice move slower than we would like, in the end, we hope the good will win out. Col-lectively as an institution, a state and a country, we must continue to strive wholeheartedly for equal-ity for all Americans.

The efficacy of the smoking banThree months after the
smoking ban was imple-mented at West Virginia University, the Student Government Association held a Speak-Up event about the issue.
The discussion included students, members of the SGA and members of the local police department.
This Speak-Up covered an old-news policy, one that can’t be changed any-time soon.
The line between stu-dents and faculty is clear: the students in attendance believed the smoking ban should be lifted, and the
faculty supported the ban.One of the biggest con-
cerns when the ban was first announced was how it would be enforced.
WVU police chief Bob Roberts gave us the answer. Smoking is not illegal; the department did not want to get entangled in the ban’s enforcement, and the only course of action the police could take would be to ar-rest the students for tres-passing – the reasoning for which remains unclear.
WVU Dean of Students Corey Harris claimed the ban has only been en-forced so far by students
asking one another not to smoke.
How many of you smok-ers would actually stop to put out your cigarette if a fellow student asked you to? It is likely there are very few.
Now the secret is out, and students are aware there will likely be no con-sequence to their action; it is possible students will be more open about smoking on campus, especially in cases of convenience and safety.
A few Resident Assis-tants drew attention to their discomfort about tell-
ing students to go farther away from the residence halls into areas which are less well-lit and populated.
Most students who smoke outside the res-idence halls move far enough away from the en-tryways to avoid blocking the way of other students and prevent the smoke from entering the build-ing. Forcing them to move outside the lighted areas and away from the watch-ful eyes of the RAs opens the door to more danger.
If the University wants to keep the smoking ban in place, it needs to do more
to enforce the restriction than make threats to arrest students for trespassing and take the responsibil-ity out of the hands of the students.
Unless the University finds the funds to pay for enforcement or comes to an agreement about legal punishments, the ban will need to be lifted.
And if the University does find a way to enforce the ban, it will need to be part of a compromise with the students or else the is-sue will persist.
OP-ED COmmENTARy
the controversy of Adrian Peterson’s oct. 13 game
NFL star running back Adrian Peterson’s 2-year-old son passed away ear-lier in October.
The only information released in connection to the incident was he was as-saulted his mother’s boy-friend. The assault took place Oct. 9, and the boy passed away after being in critical condition.
However, a major ques-tion for Peterson was whether or not to play in the week’s football game against Carolina Panthers.
While many would prob-ably sit out the game on the same weekend as the incident, Peterson didn’t. He decided he wanted to be there for his team, and when it was time for kick-off, Peterson was on the field and dressed to play.
Many people have had issues with Peterson’s de-cision, which is expected because the game was so soon after the incident. Critics thought Peterson’s decision was disrespectful to his son, and he should have taken more time to mourn this horrible fam-ily death.
These critics have a pretty strong point. Peter-son’s son was pronounced dead less than 48 hours before the game, so it was hard to understand why or how he was thinking about football at this time.
While these opponents have a solid argument about Peterson’s decision, there is also the argument he wanted to be there for
his team, and he handled the situation in his own way.
Normal citizens can re-late to tragedies like this one and to the ways they are handled. Overall, Pe-terson wouldn’t have been wrong with either choice. Had he needed time to mourn the loss of his son, it would have been com-pletely understandable. However, people handle difficult situations like this in their own way, so I don’t think he was wrong here. After all, playing for his son could be viewed as show-ing his respect.
In these difficult per-sonal situations, it’s not acceptable to make judg-ments of what the right or wrong way is to react. Pe-terson is the one who has to accept the awful tragedy of losing a child. So, if play-ing helps him struggle less, then I think he absolutely should. There isn’t any-thing disrespectful about trying to be strong for your son, your family and your team.
Try to put yourself in a similar position. Not only does he have to deal with the tragedy on his hands, but being a superstar as well, he has the whole world watching and wait-ing for his reaction. If these critics were put in a sim-ilar situation, they might choose to play the game, as well.
This mentality is appli-cable when discussing per-sonal events of any celebri-ty’s life. It’s not fair for us to judge anyone’s decisions or values based on what we see in the news or what we hear through a chain
of sources. Keep in mind while it’s easy to judge a celebrity’s actions in com-parison to your own, you don’t have to make deci-
sions under the spotlight. Therefore, it’s impera-tive critics give Peterson a break and let him grieve in peace without outside
opinions and criticism; it only makes things harder for a man who’s going through so much pain.
Peterson was a loving
father, and he showed it in his appearance against Carolina Oct. 13.

COUPLES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WARMER WEATHER SUNDAY BY WALKING DOWN HIGH STREET TO WINDOW SHOP AND GRAB A BITE TO EAT | PHOTO BY ERIN IRWIN
by Shawnee Moranassociate a&e editor @shawneemoran22
The popular musical “Cabaret” will bring ro-mance, rich history and avant garde music to the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center as the School of Theatre & Dance kicks off one of their biggest productions this season.
Set in Germany in the late ’20s, “Cabaret” fo-cuses on the story of Amer-ican writer Clifford Brad-shaw and his desire for inspiration.
During his travels in Ber-lin, he discovers a popular nightspot, the Kit Kat Club, and meets British singer Sally Bowles. The musi-cal explores complex ideas such as love, loss, right and wrong and politics.
Lee Blair, WVU profes-sor and director, said he has been pleased with the talented cast and crew and with rehearsals.
“Rehearsals have been going well ... Once you learn all the dancing, the music and the scenes, then you put them all together, work them with continu-ity, move into tech rehears-als with costumes, set and
lights and then on you go to opening night,” Blair said. “Our students get a couple of opportunities a year to do musical work – whether in class or in per-formance – so they get excited over this collabo-ration of music, dance and theater.”
Nora Perone, who will play Sally Bowles in the production, said the cast has been diligently pre-paring for the production. Some members of the cast, including herself, started preparing for the musical far in advance.
“We’ve been rehearsing for eight weeks, almost ev-ery night from 7-11 p.m.,” Perone said. “We started out by learning all of the music and choreography, and then we started put-ting it all together with the scenes, and now we’re at the point where it’s be-coming a cohesive product, but I’ve technically been preparing for this role for much longer.”
According to Blair, one of the most challenging as-pects as a director of the show is dealing with the tone of the piece, consid-ering the historical back-ground and content of the
show. Blair said he wanted to be as true to the story as possible.
“I guess the tone of this piece can be a difficulty; there is racism and anti-Semitism in the story of ‘Cabaret.’ There is (also) prostitution, addiction and gender identification. Some of those topics are hard for some people to hear, and for some people to ‘act’ within, but we must,” Blair said. “History is to be told so it won’t be repeated. Theater is a mechanism to do just that, but there is also love and happiness in the wonderful story of ‘Cabaret.’”
Actors have their own unique challenges for the show. Whether it is learn-ing accents, elaborate cho-reography, complex music or the depth of their char-acters, every actor must embrace the challenge in order to put on a success-ful performance.
Perone, who is naturally a soprano, said she had a very unique challenge dealing with the complex music she has to perform in the show.
“Technically, the songs are in a bit of an uncom-fortable range for me. They’re quite low, and I’m used to singing soprano
roles,” Perone said. “‘Caba-ret’ is an incredibly difficult song to sing, and of course, it’s the title song and the one everyone knows from the movie, so the prospect of having to sing it terrified me at first.”
Perone said her part in the musical is also chal-lenging because of the complexity of her character.
Because of the con-tent and language in the show, parental guidance is advised.
“I would like to tell stu-dents of WVU that Caba-ret is not like any musical you’ve ever seen before. Sure, we have our fair share
of glitter and feathers and even a kick line, and I guar-antee that you will be en-tertained, but we’ve also got an incredibly important and powerful story to tell that will stay with you long after you’ve left the the-atre,” Perone said. “What good is sitting alone in your room? Come and hear the music play – life is a caba-ret, old chum; come to the cabaret.”
“Cabaret” is in the Ly-ell B. Clay Concert Theatre and will run Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

‘Cabaret’ takes audience back in time
SUBMITTEdThe cast of ‘Cabaret’ show off their elaborate costumes during a rehearsal.
‘Paul and erin Go to bed’ highlights relationship troubles
There was only one set, a small apartment which Paul and Erin shared in the play “Paul and Erin Goes to Bed.” The set design was interesting due to the sketches from local artists adorning the walls of the room of M.T. Pockets.
The show started with the main characters meet-ing each other at a party. Paul (Shenendoah Thomp-son), in typical party fash-
ion, cracks corny jokes to flirt with Erin (Lauren Wei-gel Swann) and they begin to enjoy each other’s com-pany. The play quickly flashes, to an argument they are having later in time, and then back again to the joy of first meet-ing. After the party, they go home together for the night.
A couple of days later, Paul and Erin are talking to friends on the phone. They admit to liking the other, but aren’t overly en-thusiastic about develop-ing a relationship. Both
seem to continue for-ward out of a sense of ne-cessity, and being stuck in life. Erin worries about getting older and find-ing a partner. Paul hints about a dark past, clearly lacks self esteem, and feels he can do no better than her.
And so Paul and Erin be-gin dating. The play high-lights their two-year rela-tionship through a series of short events. One common theme is seen through-out: they definitely aren’t meant for each other.
No matter what hap-
pens, something always goes wrong between the two characters. Erin’s medical school exams make her short tempered and she reacts poorly to some of Paul’s gestures of affection.
Paul begins to feels in-ferior to Erin and her friends, for while they work at a hospital, he works in a call center. He often feels persecuted, like he is the brunt of the jokes when they go out as a couple.
The play climax comes at this last big fight. As the heated argument en-sues, Paul finally admits his dark secret – when he was in high school, he joined his friends and gang raped a girl in a basement.
While Paul regrets the action, Erin considers this the final straw. When Paul wakes up the next morn-ing, Erin is packing her
bags. As she walks out the door, he asks for a hand-shake, a gesture he ex-plained as being deeply important to him earlier on. She denies this and leaves for good.
The final scene in-volved a flashback of the two characters at the party where they first met, a startling con-trast to where they ended up.
The actors were able to portray many emotional states convincingly, within short periods and made the characters seem like real individuals.
Despite the overall neg-ative tone of the relation-ship, Paul and Erin still had sweet and good moments.
This gave the play a sense of realism because, if a relationship was hor-rible, nobody would stay in it. It was those occa-sional pleasant moments that gave the two char-
acters hope for it to all work out.
In real life it seems many relationships are made from two people settling with both lacking the con-fidence to find the right person.
Even if a relationship starts out with both parties not settling, once things go wrong, some people stay longer than they should, effectively wasting their time spent in that rela-tionship : time that could be spent finding the right person.
“Paul and Erin Go to Bed” was a well written, acted and directed play. Its message was dark, but truthful, and serves as a good reminder to take risks in life. If something isn’t working out, don’t let low self-esteem keep you there 24/7, take a leap and move on.

Holgorsen outcoached once again
against Kansas State
It was the same script Saturday for Kansas State and legendary head coach Bill Snyder. This time, there were just differ-ent players executing. In two consecutive seasons, Snyder has exploited West Virginia by going against what he believes in as a head coach.
Give Snyder credit : he completely outcoached Dana Holgorsen Saturday by using the exact game plan he used a year ago.
In 2012, with both teams highly ranked, Snyder and his team re-lied on then-soon-to-be-Heisman finalist Collin Klein to rush the football in order to create offense. This year, Snyder has re-lied on Daniel Sams to re-ignite the Wildcat rushing attack.
G oing into 2012’s matchup, Klein had back-to-back games in which he rushed for more than 100 yards and four straight games in which he regis-tered at least one rushing touchdown. Coming into Saturday’s game, Sams had back-to-back games with more than 100 rush-ing yards, and five of six games in which he regis-tered at least one rushing score.
Both in 2012 and this year, in the days leading up to West Virginia and Kansas State meeting up on the football field, Hol-gorsen talked about the preparation it would take to slow down these run-ning quarterbacks.
A year ago, Holgorsen and then-defensive co-ordinator Joe DeForest keyed in on Klein’s tough-ness and patience while running the football.
The problem was Sny-der was ready for a loaded box to slow down the rushing attack, so he de-cided to pick apart a down West Virginia secondary. Snyder called for 21 pass-ing plays in 2012 against WVU, the most attempts Klein had thrown all year. Klein completed 19 of them for 323 yards and three touchdowns.
Bill Snyder pinpointed a weakness and took advan-tage of it.
This year, Holgorsen readied his team to face the explosive Daniel Sams.
“Daniel Sams presents problems from an ath-letic point of view, as he is their leading rusher,” Hol-gorsen said. “He averages more than six yards per carry. He has run the ball 86 times. We will have to keep him in check. He is 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, re-ally fast, very athletic and will hurt you with his feet.”
But just like a year ago, Snyder went against his own grain and decided to take advantage of match-ups. After a week of hear-ing how Sams would rush the ball, Snyder used both Sams and Jake Waters to throw the football all over the field.
Sams was a perfect 8 of 8 for 98 yards and a score, while Waters had his best game completing 10 of 13 passes for 198 yards and three scores.
Holgorsen and his team were fooled again by Kan-sas State.

SECOND HALF COLLAPSE
WVU loses its third straight game, falls to Kansas State 35-12 in Manhattan Saturdayby connoR MuRRAyAssOcIATE spORTs EDITOR
@cONNORkMURRAY
It was a tale of two halves Saturday as West Virginia dropped its third-straight game, falling 35-12 on the road to the Kansas State Wildcats.
West Virginia controlled the first half from a statis-tical perspective, convert-ing 11 first downs while to-taling 221 yards of offense and holding the ball for 15:55.
The West Virginia de-fense held Kansas State to 142 total yards and five first-downs and had suc-cess getting off the field on third-down, as it held the Wildcats to a success rate of 1-5 on third-down.
Despite dominating the stat sheet in the first half,
West Virginia only held a slight 9-7 lead heading into the locker room.
Late in the first half, West Virginia had the ball in the red zone and was looking to take a two-score lead into halftime. When the drive stalled, head coach Dana Holgorsen elected to try a fake field goal, rather than taking an almost guaranteed three points that would have given West Virginia a 12-7 lead.
When holder Michael Molinari’s run was stopped short of the first down marker, West Virginia came away with nothing.
“Everything’s my call … There (are) a lot of things disturbing with what we do offensively. It wasn’t the correct look, and it wasn’t the correct call,” Holgorsen said.
The script flipped com-pletely in the second half as the Kansas State defense shut down West Virgin-ia’s offense, and the Wild-cat offense, led by its two quarterbacks Daniel Sams and Jake Waters, scored 28 second half points to send the Mountaineers home with a loss.
“It’s a huge concern. It’s a four-quarter game. We talk about it being a four-quarter game, and we talk about how we have to fin-ish everything that we do. That doesn’t happen to good teams,” Holgorsen said.
The Wildcat offense con-verted six of its seven sec-ond half third-downs and dominated the time of pos-session battle, holding the ball for 35:32 compared to West Virginia’s 24:28.
“For us to be a good de-fense and take the next step, we’ve got to play con-sistently,” said West Vir-ginia defensive coordina-tor Keith Patterson. “We got off the field in the first half and didn’t get off the field in the second half. It’s the key to what we do.”
In the third quarter, Kansas State took a 14-12 lead on a 9-yard touch-down pass from Dan-iel Sams to receiver Tyler Lockett, which capped off a 14-play, 78-yard drive that took 8:24 off the clock.
From that point on, Kansas State dominated West Virginia. The Wild-cat offense scored three more times while West Virginia’s offense all but disappeared.
“Football games are 60 minutes (long). It’s a long
time to focus, but you’ve got to be able to focus and concentrate for ex-tended periods of time, and until we learn to do that we’re not going to get over the hump defen-sively,” Patterson said. “It’s the same thing I said against Texas Tech. It’s the same thing it was today. When it came (to be) crunch time, just like last week when Texas Tech ex-ecuted, we didn’t. (It was the) same thing today. Kansas State executed in the second half, and we didn’t.”
With the loss, West Vir-ginia’s record drops to 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the Big 12. The Mountaineers travel to Fort Worth to play TCU at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Mountaineers win big 12 championship over weekendby joE MItchIn
spORTs wRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM
The West Virginia wom-en’s soccer team earned just one victory this weekend when the team traveled to Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Luckily for WVU, that’s all the Mountaineers needed to secure their second straight Big 12 regular season championship.
No. 6 West Virginia took down Oklahoma Friday night in Norman, Okla., in a 2-1 double-overtime victory.
WVU needed to come from behind to win the match, as it trailed in 64th minute after OU’s Daisy Car-dona took a rebounded shot off of WVU goalkeeper Sara
Keane. The gritty Mountain-eers didn’t die easily, how-ever. Senior forward Fran-ces Silva tied the game in the 80th minute with her team-and conference-leading 12th goal of the season. Silva re-ceived a ball inside the box and hammered one past a diving effort of OU keeper Kassidie Stade. Ninety min-utes wouldn’t be enough as the two sides headed for ex-tra time.
After a scoreless first over-time period, it took WVU less than two minutes in double-overtime for junior forward Kate Schwindel to drive past several Sooners and cash in the game-winner. The goal was Schwindel’s 11th of the year and won West Virginia a Big 12 title for the second
consecutive season.West Virginia outshot
Oklahoma 20-5, including holding an on-goal advan-tage of 9-4. Keane made three saves for the Mountaineers while Stade kept OU in the game for most of the night, saving seven shots.
“I thought Oklahoma’s goalkeeper was brilliant to-night,” said WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “She came up with some unbelievable saves. I thought Oklahoma did a really good job trying to throw us off balance, but tonight was just a matter of us figuring out how to break them down and get that goal. This game can be brutal.”
With the conference ti-tle already in the bag, the Mountaineers traveled to No.
7 Texas Tech Sunday evening in the regular season finale. West Virginia fell to the Red Raiders 2-0. WVU conceded goals in the 40th and 52nd minute of the match in the first regular season confer-ence loss since West Virginia joined the Big 12.
The Mountaineers end the 2013 regular season with a 13-3-2 record. The loss Sunday snapped current nine-game winning streak for WVU and a 15-game regular season con-ference winning streak. It was West Virginia’s first loss since Sept. 15.
Despite the loss, WVU will receive the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Big 12 tourna-ment. The Mountaineers fin-ished 7-1 inside the league, while Texas Tech (15-1-2) will
likely be No. 2. West Virginia outshot
Texas Tech 13-11 overall and 4-3 in shots on-goal.
“To win four straight con-ference championships says a lot, not only about the alumni but also the character of this program and this team,” Izzo-Brown said. “It’s a great feel-ing to witness this team play again and see how much they battled for another champi-onship. I’m so excited we get to bring this home because this is a great one.”
West Virginia will play again Nov. 6 in the Big 12 tournament quarterfinal in Kansas City. Seeding and matchups will be announced next weekend.

MEN’S SOCCER
West Virginia draws with Western Michigan Saturdayby keVin hooker
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia men’s soccer team posted its third straight shutout en route to a 0-0 draw Saturday evening at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.
The game marked the Mountaineers’ second straight draw and third in the last four games. West Virginia outshot Western Michigan 11-5, including three shots by forward Ja-mie Merriam.
West Virginia is now 6-6-4 on the season and 1-2-1 in Mid-American Conference play, while Western Michigan is now 2-0-1.
Mer r iam had two of WVU’s three best chances, starting with a shot in the 39th min-
ute that was saved by Western Michigan goal-keeper Chase Rau. In the 100th minute, Merriam nearly won the game on a rebounded shot, but it blasted over the goal.
Another chance came in the 19th minute, when Andy Bevin was taken down in the box, drawing a penalty kick. Majed Os-man took the shot, but it was stopped by Rau.
“ T h e i r g o a l k e e p e r made three good saves in that game,” said WVU head coach Marlon LeB-lanc. “But there’s no ex-cuses to be made when you miss chances like that. You end up with a (zero) on the scoreboard.”
Despite being outshot by six, the Broncos had their chances as well. In the second overtime, Connor Furgason headed
a shot that was stopped by freshman Alex Ochoa on the goal line for a team save. Soon after, Ryan Le-masters hit the post and Furgason’s rebound at-tempt sailed past the goal and out of play.
The Broncos had five goal saves in all, while Mountaineers goalkeeper Lee Johnston had one save.
“The performance was good, but at the end of the day, the result was a draw. There was only one team trying to win this game tonight, and that was us,” LeBlanc said.
“You hate to see (soc-cer) being played in that manner, where one team isn’t necessarily even try-ing to win the game. But you have to give credit where credit is due – they sat back and defended
well.”Despite not scoring,
the Mountaineers still lead the MAC in goals and points, with 23 and 81, respectively. Their 53 assists also leads the con-ference, and 1.53 goals per game ranks No. 2.
West Virginia has two crucial games remaining on its schedule, starting with MAC rival Buffalo Friday. The Bulls are 1-3 in conference play, but just 3-9-3 on the season.
“If we would’ve stuck with it, I think (a goal) w ou l d’ve e ve ntu a l l y came,” LeBlanc said. “But that being said, it’s a shutout for us and we’ll take the point. We’ll try and go out and get three points at Buffalo on Friday.”

WVU came away with a bronze medal finish in the women’s open 4+. How-ever, the Mountaineers did
not compete up to expec-tations. Head coach Jimmy King said he was not pleased with his team’s performance in Philadelphia.
“(It was a) frustrating day for the Mountaineers overall on the Schuylkill,” he said.
WVU’s sole bronze medal performance of the day came in a close race in the women’s open four+. The Mountain-eers “A” boat of Elizabeth Du-arte, Elizabeth Kantak, Karen Verwey, Courtney Schrand
and coxswain Emily Deming took home the bronze with a time of 16:55.31. Duquesne won the gold medal with a 16:52.23, just beating out Holy Cross who took silver with a time of 16:52.64. WVU’s “B” boat finished No. 10 and the “C” boat finished No. 15.
In the college/club open eights+ final, the boat of Me-linda Sharon, Kelly Kramer, Hannah Onians, Tamyra Roberts, Mollie Rosen, Me-gan Brophy, Duarte, Schrand
and coxswain Morgan Leach led the way for the Moun-taineers with a No. 8 finish, crossing the line in a time of 16:42.58. WVU’s “B” and “C” crews took No. 16 and No. 34 place, respectively. Drexel won the race with a time of 16:18.60.
WVU earned a No. 12 fin-ish in the open heavy cham-pionship 8+ with the crew of Duarte, Kramer, Rosen, Rachel Cokeley, Jessica Hurlbert, Kantak, Verwey,
Schrand and coxswain Mal-lory Fisher crossing the line in 16:46.80. Trinity won the race in a time of 15:41.43.
King said he knows the pressure he puts on his squad isn’t easy, but he expected more out of the team. With a few regattas left in 2013, King knows the time is now for his team to step up and perform well.
“I certainly don’t make it easy for our team bringing them into this regatta, tired
from training, then racing them two and three times on the day. I have always used the fall regattas as part of our training rather than events for which we train. Regard-less of the circumstances, we expected better results on the day.”
The Mountaineers will compete Saturday at the Head of the Occoquan in Fairfax, Va.
VOLLEYBALL
Mountaineers fall to oklahoma Saturday afternoonby jon fehrenS
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia volleyball team finished off its toughest stretch of play this season by falling in straight sets (15-25, 14-25, 20-25) to Oklahoma Saturday afternoon. The Sooners (18-4, 6-2 Big 12) are the third straight WVU oppo-
nent ranked in the RPI top 15. Head coach Jill Kramer said she is disappointed by the re-sults of her team during the stretch, but she said she be-lieves playing against a high level competition will eventu-ally help.
“We will get in the gym and get better. We have played three teams consecutively who are ranked No. 1, No. 11,
and No. 15 in the RPI, respec-tively,” Kramer said. “That will make us a better team, be-cause we have competed hard against them.”
The Sooners’ offensive charge was lead by senior mid-dle blocker Sallie McLaurin. McLaurin posted a .345 hitting clip, led her team with 14 kills and chipped in three blocks. Madison Ward and Kelia Ro-
driguez hit .478 and .474 clips respectively to help energize the Oklahoma offense.
The Mountaineers (16-7, 2-6 Big 12) took an early 9-7 in the first set before Oklahoma responded with a 6-0 run. The Sooners dictated the tempo of the opening set by notching 15 team kills while hitting a .353 clip. Eight errors and .032 hitting percentage al-
lowed Oklahoma to take the first set 15-25.
“Oklahoma played great today. I thought they had a great day defensively and just didn’t commit many er-rors offensively,” Kramer said. “They really made us earn our points. We were very high-er-ror and just seemed to have a tough time getting in a rhythm offensively.”
The Mountaineers will re-turn back to Morgantown to take on Marshall Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., inside the WVU Coliseum.

WVU offensive woes continue in loss to Wildcatsby doUg Walp
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
Through West Virgin-ia’s first seven games, head coach Dana Holgorsen re-ferred to his offense as dis-appointing, inexperienced and embarrassing.
Now, after the Moun-taineers scored just 12 points against a Kansas State team that came into Saturday’s game without a single win in conference play, Holgorsen had to em-ploy some new adjectives.
“It’s disturbing,” Hol-gorsen said. “There’s a lot of things disturbing with what we do offensively.
“It’s the same old deal. We’re not scoring. We’re not finishing drives. We’re not finishing blocks. We’re not making people miss in the open. We’re not catch-ing the ball downfield. It keeps me up at night. We’re not playing winning offen-sive football.”
It’s definitely uncharted territory for the third-year head coach, whose pro-lific offenses have run wild throughout college football over the last seven years.
During the two years as offensive coordinator at Texas Tech in 2006-07, Hol-
gorsen’s offense was No. 8 and No. 3 in the nation in total offense.
In 2008, Holgorsen be-came the offensive coor-dinator at the University of Houston. By the end of his first year, the Cougars’ of-fense ranked No. 3 in the country in total offense. By 2009, Holgorsen was the brains behind the No. 1 of-fense in all of college foot-ball at Houston.
In 2010, Holgorsen went to Oklahoma State, where the Cowboys had the No. 61 offense upon his arrival. By the end of the year, Hol-gorsen had again estab-lished the top offense in the entire country, averag-ing 537.6 yards per game.
Of course West Virginia fans may be more familiar with the jobs he did in 2011 and 2012 upon arriving in Morgantown. The Moun-taineers averaged 469.5 yards and 37.6 points per game in 2011 and then 502 yards and 39.5 points per game in the 2012 season.
But in 2013, the Moun-taineers are averaging close to 20 points less (22.9 ppg) than in 2012, good enough for No. 96 among 125 FBS teams. And at just 395.1 yards per game, WVU’s of-fense is officially the low-
est producing Holgorsen coached offense since he first became an offensive coordinator in 2006.
To make matters worse, Saturday’s loss against 3-4 Kansas State may have been the offense’s lowest point yet.
“(In the) third quar-ter we ran five plays,” said WVU offensive coordina-tor Shannon Dawson. “And then the fourth quarter, ob-viously just complete non-execution of routine plays. Wide-open people, just can’t hit (them). And they can’t catch it when we do.”
The struggles eventually got so bad in the second half that Holgorsen had to pull his starting quarter-back, although clearly to no avail.
“You’ve got to be able to throw to open people and complete it, and Clint (Trickett) was not doing a good job of that,” Hol-gorsen said. “At that point, when we were down two touchdowns, we obviously have to pick the pace up. We have to run the two-minute offense. We have to throw the ball a lot more.
“Clint wasn’t doing a very good job of that at that point, so we went with Paul (Millard) because Paul has
a little more experience in just spreading the ball around. (I) thought he did a very average job.”
On the heels of those statements, it may not be at stretch to assume West Vir-ginia will have another edi-tion of quarterback carou-sel this week leading into next weekend’s matchup against TCU, although Hol-gorsen didn’t specifically address that following the game.
Quarterback issues-aside, the Mountaineers’ coaches also seem to be-lieve problems within the offense stem a lot deeper than the production, or lack thereof, from just a single position.
Holgorsen said despite how it might look, he’s ac-tually seen somewhat mea-surable improvement from his offense from week to week this season, just ul-timately not enough to be considered competitive in West Virginia’s new confer-ence home.
“Are we improving? Does it look better at times? Yes.” Holgorsen said. “Is it good enough to win a Big 12 football game? Absolutely not.”

No. 5 Mountaineers defeat army in conference matchby MeghaN carr
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The No. 5 West Virginia University rifle team won its third match and second Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) match of the 2013-14 season Saturday with a 4695-4669 victory against No. 12 Army at the WVU Rifle Range.
The Mountaineers (3-0, 2-0 GARC) won both guns, out-shooting Army (2-2, 1-2 GARC) 2337-2325 in small-bore, and 2358-2344 in air rifle.
The Mountaineers’ team score, as well as smallbore
and air rifle marks, were all season-highs.
“I am pleased with today,” said head coach Jon Ham-mond. “We had really good scores in smallbore, and we were consistent. Nothing was spectacular, but everyone im-proved across the board. We were surprised to see how high the team score was.”
Sophomore Garrett Spur-geon placed No. 1 in small-bore with a score of 586 and No. 2 in air rifle (590) for the second week in a row. His smallbore score and com-bined score of 1176 were both season-highs.
Hammond said he was im-
pressed with Spurgeon’s im-provement during the past few weeks.
“It’s pleasing to see Gar-rett show some consistency,” he said. “He’s definitely one of our strongest smallbore shooters. Each week he has improved, and it’s great to see him put in another strong performance today.”
In addition to Spurgeon’s No. 1 place in smallbore, the Mountaineers also took the No. 3, No. 5 and No. 6 place in the gun. Junior Meelis Kiisk shot a 585 and placed No. 3, while junior Thomas Kyanko placed No. 5 (583), and soph-omore Patrick Sunderman
placed No. 6 (583). All scores were season highs.
Chance Cover’s score also counted for the smallbore team. Cover placed No. 13 in the gun, shooting a 571 mark.
Army’s Joseph Todaro shot a 585 and Michael Mat-thews shot a 583 to take No. 2 and No. 4 in smallbore, respectively.
Junior Maren Prediger won air rifle for the second time this season with a 596 score, just three points short of her season and career-high against Ohio State.
Senior Daniel Sojka placed No. 3 in air rifle with a 589 score, a season-high and
one point short of his career-best score. He added a small-bore score of 580, giving him a combined total of 1169, one point short of his career record.
“It was great to see Dan-iel put in a good perfor-mance after last week,” Ham-mond said. “He was solid in both guns. He’s been work-ing hard, and it’s really nice to see that he was so close to his highs in both.”
In air rifle, Prediger and junior Taylor Ciatola’s scores counted toward the Moun-taineer victory. Ciotola shot 586 in the gun, good enough for No. 7.
Sophomore Olivia Nar-done, senior Richard Cal-vin and Matthews took No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 in air rifle, all with a 587 score for the Black Knights.
Kiisk, Spurgeon and Sun-derman completed the Mountaineer scoring squad in the scorings for both guns.
Mountaineer redshirt freshman Jean-Pierre Lucas surpassed his career-high smallbore score (574) and scored a 584 in air rifle.
Saturday’s win improves WVU to 34-10 all-time against the Black Knights.
