Transfer students attend Welcome Week event, learn about WVU programs

by alyssa lazarstaff writer

@dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University transfer students attended a Welcome Week event at the Erikson Alumni Center where they met President Gordon Gee and were introduced to Univer-sity clubs and academic departments.

At the event, transfer students could talk to student organiza-tions such as YoungLife, the Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity and the Res-idence Hall Association. They had the opportunity to talk to advisers of the Seamless Transition Program at WVU .

“I think one of the issues for us is to make students feel as welcome as those students that came in as en-try students, so these kinds of pro-grams immediately culture them to the history, traditions and opportu-nities that we offer,” Gee said.

This year, roughly 1,100 students transferred to WVU.

“Our goal is to give all of the trans-fers an experience that freshmen get that transfer students don’t typically get, to engage them with each other and to get them accustomed to cam-pus,” said Anita Mayer, director of Transitional Programs.

According to Mayer, the goal of the program is to make the transition as a transfer student as easy as possible.

She said the program develops an articulation agreement referred to as the “2+2’s,” where students work with the program to try to match up their previous course work with course work offered at WVU.

Although not every credit is going to transfer, the program does its best to accommodate students’ previous

course work.“It is becoming more of a trend,”

Mayer said. “Students will use schools closer to home to get an as-sociate’s degree, and then when they transfer in as a junior, they transfer in as a true junior.”

This event was the first of two that served to introduce transfer students to life at WVU.

The next event will be held Aug. 28, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair Blue Ballroom. It will include information sessions about the library, the Center for Service and Learning and the WVU Career Ser-vices Center.

Natalie Reinford, a sophomore athletic training student, said the transitional programs have been beneficial because of how different

her previous school, Shepherd Uni-versity, is from WVU.

“Shepherd is so small, and WVU is so big. It’s like night and day,” Rein-ford said.

Reinford, like many other stu-dents, utilized the program and heav-ily referred to the resources avail-able to transfer students to help her transition.

“They know that they have a life-line as a transfer student, regardless of their major,” Mayer said.

Transfer students can visit http://advising.wvu.edu for a transition guide that includes campus maps, resources and information about tu-toring and career services offered to students at WVU.

MaKING THE TraNsFErPolice say move-in weekend crime stats are the same as 2013

The West Virginia Uni-versity Police said last weekend was busy, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

The weekend before the start of fall semester is tra-ditionally one of the busi-est of the year for Morgan-town law enforcement with the return of students and FallFest.

Chief Bob Roberts said the number of incidents last weekend was close to identical to last year’s figures.

“It was busy, but about the same as last year,” Rob-erts said. “We had 523 calls (compared to) about 480 something last year. We made 47 alcohol arrests last year, we had 47 this year.”

Arrests and citations for underage consumption are particularly common

in the University PD crime logs at the beginning of the school year, but Roberts said no major incidents occurred.

“We had 10 drug ar-rests, I’d say it was about the same last year,” he said. “We made a few underage arrests and citations but nothing major.”

Along with St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween and foot-ball games, the first week-end back in Morgan-town stands out in crime statistics according to Roberts.

“We see as much on foot-ball weekends but yeah, it is a busy weekend for us because everybody comes back at once,” Roberts said. “The traffic, the moving in and FallFest – it’s a busy week.”

Carruth Center to release app to monitor wellness

by alyssa lazarstaff writer

@dailyathenaeum

The Carruth Center for Psychological and Psychi-atric Services at West Vir-ginia University is currently in the process of developing an application for iPhones. Development will be com-pleted this year and will be released during the 2014-15 academic year.

The Carruth Center re-ceived a national Sub-stance Abuse and Mental Health Services Adminis-tration Suicide Prevention grant that supports suicide prevention efforts at the University.

Using software develop-ers at Syntropy and devel-oped by a multidisciplinary team at the Carruth Center – including psychologists, psychiatrists and grant per-sonnel – the application will be used for suicide prevention and to moni-tor the overall well-being of students.

Robert Quinby, a staff psychologist for the WVU Carruth Center, said the center wants students to have access to the support they need wherever they are.

“We are wanting to make the app accessible and

useful to WVU students. We have intentionally de-signed the app to be able to be picked up and used by anyone, yet still be helpful for people who may be ex-periencing greater struggles and who may be at-risk for suicide,” Quinby said.

Features of the applica-tion, referred to as the help-WELL app, will include a wellness tracker which is displayed by a graph and will allow users to track their wellness.

Mood, anxiety level and sleep level are among the different aspects of wellness that can be tracked on the wellness monitor. It will al-low students to understand how their wellness fluctu-ates throughout the day or during a time span of 5 days.

It will also include a list of friends and family that can be contacted and ac-cessed when a user is in need of support, a list of self-care activities the user can use when stressed or depressed such as read-ing a book or walking a dog, and a list of links that the user can use if they need to find a resource for wellness or suicide prevention.

It will be a valuable self-reflecting tool.”

Quinby, like Seebaugh, said he foresees the app help-ing students considerably.

“The app will be an addi-tional resource our counsel-ors and care providers can

provide to students to help them monitor and improve their wellness,” Quinby said.

Seebaugh, a recent gradu-ate of WVU, works under the helpWELL program. He pro-vided the student input that was needed to create the app.

“The goal of helpWELL is to not only learn how to help yourself, but also to help your friends and everyone else be cognizant and aware of warn-ing signs,” Seebaugh said. “It is important to know if your friends are experiencing trouble.”

The WVU Carruth Center is dedicated to making sure that students are at their max-imum well-being. It is using

other grants, to promote stu-dents’ well-being and helping students become more aware of distress and suicide.

“We are excited to be near-ing the completion of de-veloping this application,” Quinby said. “We think it will be a relevant and inno-vative way for students to de-velop good self-care, moni-tor aspects of their wellness and reach supports in times of great distress.”

student develops service to track prTby DavID scHlaKE

correspondent @dailyathenaeum

One of the biggest head-aches for West Virginia Uni-versity students is when the Personal Rapid Tran-sit breaks down. Now, stu-dents will have a head start on deciding which form of public transportation to use on days when the PRT isn’t working.

Austin Siford, a soph-omore computer science student, has developed an application that allows stu-dents to receive notifica-tions on their smartphones or tablets to alert them when the PRT is down.

The application will op-erate with all Android de-vices and Google Glass. Si-ford said he also plans on creating a version compat-ible with the iOS software. Siford said he plans to add different functions such as

the ability for users to mon-itor specific stations.

Siford has worked with Information Technology Services, under Informa-tion Security Services Di-rector Alex Jalso, since Sep-tember 2013. Even though he is just 18-years-old, Si-ford has proven to be expe-rienced in the field of infor-mation security. He said he found and reported several vulnerabilities on www.snapchat.com as well as the Snapchat iOS mobile application.

Dave Olsen, a web de-veloper for University Re-lations-Web, helped Si-ford obtain the necessary resources to make the ap-plication a possibility. Ol-sen also made it possible for Siford’s application to use the University’s name and trademarks by working with Trademark Licensing.

The original idea of cre-ating something like this to

provide these kinds of up-dates was brought to atten-tion by another student, Jared Crawford. At Craw-ford’s request, University Relations and the Depart-

ment of Transportation worked together to create an application program-ming interface to make it a possibility. The API essen-tially works as a link for dif-

ferent computer applica-tions to send data to one another.

Crawford created the vastly popular iWVU app in 2009 . As technology has

become such an impor-tant part of day-to-day ac-tivities, ideas such as these tend to get a great deal of positive feedback, espe-cially when a student is responsible for the idea’s success.

“Basically, as a Uni-versity we’ve made this PRT status data available to anyone to re-use how they see fit,” Olsen said. “As Austin showed, (if you) want an Android app with the status updates, have at it. Our students, with Aus-tin and Jared as just a few examples, have fantastic ideas and are motivated to make things happen.”

To download the app, Google Glass users should go to Siford’s web-

site, http://austindizzy.me/prt. Android users should download the app by going to the Google Play Store.

Some evacuees of Yosemite-area fire can go home

APA structure burns along Highway 41 in Oakhurst, Calif., Monday. One of several wildfires burning across California prompted the evacuation of hundreds of people in a central California foothill community near Yosemite National Park, authorities said.

OaKHURsT, Calif. (aP) — Firefighters gained ground Tuesday on a blaze in the foothills near Yosemite Na-tional Park, allowing some of the 1,000 people who fled the flames to return to their homes.

Nearly 1 square mile in Madera County had been scorched, revising ear-lier estimates that it had spanned about twice as much ground, state fire of-ficials said.

Flames erupted Mon-day near Oakhurst, a com-munity of several thousand about 16 miles from a Yo-semite entrance, forcing more than 1,000 people to evacuate and thousands more to prepare to leave their homes. Some resi-dents were allowed to go home, but sheriff’s spokes-woman Erica Stuart could

not provide an estimate of how many.

Crews contained 30 per-cent of the fire, aided by hu-midity and calmer winds. Additional firefighters had been brought in to attack the blaze fueled a day ear-lier by gusty winds and dry brush.

“We’re not seeing the fire expand like we thought,” Madera County Sheriff John Anderson said Tuesday.

The blaze that destroyed eight structures did not affect Yosemite National Park, and the road lead-ing visitors to the park re-opened Tuesday. It once threatened about 500 homes, but the risk has been minimized, officials say.

The fire comes amid Cal-ifornia’s third straight year of drought, creating tinder-

dry conditions that have significantly increased the fire danger around the state and sent firefighters scram-bling seemingly nonstop from blaze to blaze.

Evacuated residents in Oakhurst said they had braced for the worst.

“There is nothing you can do when a fire is rag-ing,” said Clement Wil-liams, 67. “You just have to flee. It’s a real sinking feeling.”

Williams and his wife, Gretchen Williams, 63, were trying to get informa-tion about the fire and their home from officials. They spent the night at a nearby hotel.

Oakhurst was smoky, and businesses downtown were closed as the fire burned about a mile away. Flames were not visible

from the downtown area as they moved away from town toward a nearby res-ervoir and resort commu-nity, state fire spokesman Chris Christopherson said.

Wes Qualls, 50, was vis-iting Yosemite from Katy, Texas, with his wife and 9-year-old son, but they were cut off from their mo-tel in Oakhurst by the fire. They found a room for the night in a nearby town but planned to cut the trip short.

“I was one of the lucky ones,” he said. “Some peo-ple spent the night in their cars.”

The fire comes on the heels of another blaze around Yosemite this sum-mer and last year’s Rim Fire, which raged for two months across 400 square miles of land including

part of Yosemite National Park. The Rim Fire threat-ened thousands of struc-tures, destroyed 11 homes and cost more than $125 million to fight.

Last month’s fire, which also burned in the park, threatened about 100 homes and sent smoke into Yosemite’s famed valley be-fore it was brought under control.

Meanwhile, an out-of-control blaze that began Monday some 50 miles northeast of Bakersfield surged to nearly 5 square miles, or 3,195 acres.

The fire burning near Lake Isabella in Kern County brought recom-mended evacuation orders for about 200 homes in sev-eral neighborhoods, the U.S. Forest Service said. A Red Cross evacuation cen-

ter was set up at Kern Val-ley High School in Lake Isabella.

Some structures burned, but it wasn’t immediately clear how many or if any were homes, Thill said. There was no contain-ment of the fire Tuesday afternoon.

More than 450 firefight-ers with air support were battling the flames in steep terrain amid low humidity and high temperatures.

Northeast of Los Ange-les, crews made quick work of a 274-acre wildfire that forced the evacuation of 200 people from a camp-ground and recreational areas. The blaze that broke out Sunday above the foot-hill community of Glen-dora was mostly contained Tuesday and largely re-duced to smoking embers.

‘Saturday Night Live’ loses long-time producerAP

NEW YORK (AP) — Few would recognize his face, but most knew his voice: the booming baritone that for nearly four decades her-alded “Saturday Night Live.”

Don Pardo, the eras-spanning radio and TV an-nouncer whose resonant voice-over style was cele-brated for its majesty and power, died Monday in Ari-zona at the age of 96.

“He became our link to the beginnings of television on NBC - and radio,” said Lorne Michaels, who, as creator of “SNL” (and who remains its executive pro-ducer) hired Pardo.

Pardo’s strong jaw and leading-man smile were seldom on display, but for more than 60 years his el-egant pipes graced news-casts, game shows (during the original run of “Jeop-ardy!,” its emcee ritually called on him to “Tell `em what they’ve won, Don Pardo”) and especially “SNL,” where he played an integral role through last season, heralding the lineup, like always, as re-cently as the May finale.

“There was no greater thrill than hearing Don Pardo bellow your name for the first time in the open-ing credits of `Saturday Night Live,’” said long-time cast member Tina Fey. “It meant you were officially `on television.’”

Fey described Pardo as “a sweet, sweet man,” adding, “Late night will never sound as cool again.”

“My whole life changed once Don Pardo said my name,” echoed Amy Poehler, a fellow “SNL” alum. “I will really miss that kind and talented man.”

His was no ordinary voice and he guarded it closely, with cough drops always at the ready.

“My voice is my Achilles’ heel,” Pardo said in a 1985 interview with The Associ-ated Press. “When I get sick, it’s always my voice.” But it

served him well from a ten-der age.

Dominick George Pardo was born in Westfield, Mas-sachusetts, on Feb. 22, 1918, and grew up in Norwich, Connecticut.

One of his first jobs was that of ticket-taker at a local movie theater; even then, his voice was commanding.

“I’d go out there with a cape and say: `Standing room only in the mezza-nine. Immediate seating in the balcony.’”

His father, Dominick, owned a small bakery and had wanted his son to join the business. But young Pardo followed his own dream. After graduating from Boston’s Emerson Col-lege in 1942, he began his vocal career at radio station WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island.

Two years later, he was hired by a supervisor at NBC immediately upon hearing his voice. He moved to NBC’s New York affiliate, and never left the network.

Pardo made his mark quickly, reading news dis-patches on the radio filed from the front lines during World War II. After the war, he was the announcer for such shows as the “Arthur Murray Party,” `’Colgate Comedy Hour” and “Your Show of Shows.”

In 1954, he was brought in to announce “Winner Takes All,” beginning a long run in game shows. He was heard forcefully on the orig-inal “The Price is Right” (1956-63) and the origi-nal “Jeopardy!” (1964-75), hosted by Art Fleming.

When NBC launched the radical, cutting-edge “Sat-urday Night Live” in 1975 with Pardo as its charm-ingly old-school patriarch, he was discovered by a new generation - although, on opening night, he made a rare stumble, botching one of the credits. Instead of saying “The Not Ready for Prime Time Players,” Pardo

introduced the show’s new comedy troupe as “The Not for Ready Prime Time Players.”

Aside from Season 7, when he was rudely dis-placed, Pardo remained an “SNL” mainstay.

Between working on shows, Pardo often spent several hours a day in an NBC sound studio as one of the last network “booth announcers” working a reg-ular daily shift.

And every weekday after-noon for several years in the 1980s, Pardo would quickly clad himself in a tie and blazer to step on camera long enough to announce the local New York sta-tion’s “Live at Five” news-cast - although Pardo’s vo-cal alchemy rendered it as “Liiiiiiive at Fiiiiiive!”

Pardo retired from NBC in 2004.

“But Lorne Michaels called me soon after and asked if I would continue for three more weeks, so I did,” Pardo told the AP in 2010. “Then he called and asked if I would do five more, and so on. I never re-ally left.”

For several years, Pardo commuted from Tucson each week the show aired. He arrived to open the show in Rockefeller Center’s fa-bled Studio 8H and then caught a returning flight. At the end of the show on Feb. 23, 2008, he was brought on camera to blow out the candles of a birthday cake in honor of his 90th birthday.

In later years, he more often recorded his in-troductions from home, where he died peace-fully Monday afternoon, said his daughter Dona Pardo.

Pardo appeared in sev-eral movies, mostly as him-self or an announcer like himself, including Woody Allen’s “Radio Days,” an homage to the Golden Age of broadcasting. He also

made a guest appearance on Frank Zappa’s 1978 al-bum, “Zappa in New York,” and “Weird Al” Yankovic’s

1984 album, “In 3-D.”In 2010, he was in-

ducted into the Acad-emy of Television Arts

and Sciences’ Hall of Fame.

Pardo is survived by five children.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — A former “Canadian Idol” contestant was acquitted on Tuesday of conspir-ing to facilitate terrorism, with the judge finding in-sufficient evidence that he intended to join a plot.

Khurram Syed Sher, an Ontario doctor whose 2010 arrest got interna-tional attention because of his appearance on the contest show, had pleaded not guilty to the charges. Prosecutors had accused Sher of agreeing with two other men to raise money, send cash abroad, take paramilitary train-ing, make and use explo-sives, and scout targets in Canada.

Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland said that while Sher probably harbored jihadist sym-pathies, he was not con-vinced the doctor genu-inely intended to join a conspiracy.

Prosecutor Jason Wakely said it was the first time someone was found not guilty after going to trial on charges under Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act, which was introduced in 2001 in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks, according to prosecutor Jason Wakely.

The prosecutor said he was disappointed and an ap-peal would be considered.

During the investiga-tion, police seized ter-rorist literature, videos and manuals, along with dozens of electronic cir-cuit boards allegedly designed to detonate h o m e m a d e b o m b s remotely.

Sher, 32, has been free on bail for years, under strict conditions.

“It feels great,” he said outside the courthouse af-ter the verdict.

His defense lawyer, Mi-chael Edelson, said Sher will now focus on rebuild-ing his life.

“His career has been ended, he’s lost over a million dollars in income, prestige in the community, and it’s been a very, very tough four years,” Edelson said. “His family has left, he’s had reduced access to his children - it’s been tragic.”

Sher appeared on the singing-contest show in 2008, singing a comical version of Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated.”

A graduate of Montre-al’s McGill University, the Quebec-born Sher worked as an anatomical pathol-ogist at St. Thomas Elgin

General Hospital in St. Thomas, Ontario before his arrest.

At the trial, the pros-ecution cited evidence gathered through wire-taps of phone calls, in-tercepted emails and co-vertly installed listening devices.

Prosecutors played six segments of sometimes sketchy audio culled from electronic surveillance of a July 20, 2010, meeting in Ottawa between Sher and the two other men charged in the case. One has been convicted and the other is awaiting trial.

Prosecutors had por-trayed the meeting as a pivotal moment for the purported plotters. But Sher’s lawyers character-ized the visit as a friendly stopover en route from Montreal to his new job in southern Ontario.

Defense arguments painted Sher as an avid hockey fan who gave thou-sands of dollars to charity and helped with earth-quake relief efforts in Pakistan.

Sher testified that he doesn’t believe in vio-lence, but rather in com-munity service.

Baltimore opens new Bob Marley MusicalNEW YORK (AP) — A mu-

sical about Bob Marley that uses the Jamaican reg-gae icon’s music is in the works for next year.

Center Stage in Bal-timore said Tuesday it would present the world premiere of “Marley,” written and directed by company artistic direc-tor Kwame Kwei-Armah.

It will run from May 6 to June 14.

The show focuses on the years 1975 to 1978, when Marley survived an at-tempted assassination in Jamaica and went into ex-ile in London. It will fea-ture mid-’70s Marley al-bums as “Exodus,” “Kaya,” and “Rastaman Vibration,” which include the songs

“Jamming,” “Three Little Birds” and “Roots, Rock, Reggae.”

It’s a collaboration be-tween Center Stage and New York’s Public The-ater, where Kwei-Armah directed two productions last year. Oskar Eustis, ar-tistic director of the Public Theater, will be the “Mar-ley” dramaturg.

Yearwood releases new album, revamps career

NEW YORK (AP) — An off-Broadway produc-tion of Ivan Turgenev’s “A Month in the Coun-try” has attracted a star of “Game of Thrones” and another from behind bars.

Classic Stage Company said Tuesday that “Game of Thrones” actor Pe-ter Dinklage and Taylor

Schilling from “Orange Is The New Black” will co-star as Rakitin and Na-talya in the revival, which kicks off Jan. 9.

The play, set on a coun-try estate in 1840s Russia, deals with a bored, older and married woman who falls for a younger man, her son’s tutor, who is idolized by the woman’s

vulnerable ward. Mean-while, the older woman is worshipped by a long-suffering admirer.

The company’s other shows this season include William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” starring Peter Sarsgaard, and Christo-pher Marlowe’s “Doctor Faustus,” starring “Sex in the City” star Chris Noth.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Once intent on scaling back her career to focus on fam-ily, country singer Trisha Yearwood now finds herself with two - platinum-selling musician with a new album on the way and emerging kitchen mogul.

“I kind of feel like Rocky in the first movie,” Yearwood said.

An apt description: Year-wood announced Tuesday she’s releasing a new album titled “PrizeFighter,” the ti-tle taken from a new track she found inspiring as she contemplated relaunch-ing her music career at 49. It coincides with the loom-ing comeback tour with her husband, Garth Brooks. She’s also launching cook-ware and cutlery lines, be-gins a new season of “Tri-sha’s Southern Kitchen” next week and has her third cook-book out next spring.

“I kind of feel like the odds are not in my favor, so the song is really motivat-ing in that way because it’s just kind of like you’ve got to fight, you’ve got to fight for what you want,” Yearwood said.

She and Brooks begin their tour Sept. 4 in Chicago, where they’ll play 11 con-certs - “We call it the freak show right now” - and she’ll be taping new episodes of her show’s fifth season be-tween sets while on the road.

As the tour approached, she spent time in the studio tweaking her new album, which includes a hits pack-age and six new songs. The music, she said, has been her priority amid all the other projects.

“I told the Food Network people, I love them, `You guys are awesome, but I’ve got to finish my record. I’ve got to make some music,’”

Yearwood said.Brooks and Yearwood

chose to mostly shutter their careers after they married in 2005 and moved to Okla-homa, where they raised Brooks’ three daughters. Since then, Yearwood has sold 12 million albums but released very little music. The Grammy Award winner’s last album came out in 2007 and plans since were set aside when her mother was diag-nosed with terminal breast cancer.

She said she found things too quiet without music, though, and hopes the new music will empower young women, just as several other recent songs by female artists have done.

“I love those songs that make girls put their hands in the air and say, `Yeah, I can do that,’” she said. “Hopefully this song (‘PrizeFighter’) will do that.”

How many times have you made a Taylor Swift joke?

I would guess I’ve done so a dozen or more times since the legendary Kanye incident. Since then, and even before, Swift has been the younger sister of the music industry, frequently finding herself the butt of jokes.

Headlines tell of her breakups and make-ups.

And now, with the an-nouncement of her new al-bum, ‘1989,’ Swift is making headlines for changing mu-sical genres.

The feminist inside me is quick to call out the media for pigeonholing her artis-tic expression and for slut shaming her relationships with men.

The skeptic inside me is even quicker to ask: Am I jumping to conclusions?

Famous artists like Swift have a responsibil-ity to their fans. For better or worse, we foot the bill. Her livelihood depends on people like you and I con-sciously deciding to pur-chase her music.

With this comes an im-plied feeling of ownership of the artist.

It’s hard to find the bal-ance between being skep-tical and thoughtful of the artists you purchase music from and plain old discrim-ination. A good friend, who used to be a die-hard Swift fan, swore off buying the new album because, “she’s been sleeping around, and that’s annoying.”

Celebrities exist under a magnifying glass. An ant

that’s under a magnifying glass in the sun will burn alive. I think it’s obvious Swift has been out in the sun for too long.

After the most recent MTV Video Music Awards, a photograph of Swift whis-pering into Selena Gomez’s ear became popular.

Regardless of what hap-pened that night, the media seemed to try and insinu-ating that Swift was acting catty. This happens all too often in our culture as peo-ple like to pit one woman against another.

Also, remember that three-second clip of Swift trying to twerk? It went vi-ral. Three seconds of Swift having fun on a stressful night became minutes of people making fun of her, suggesting, “How dare she try and dance like that.”

Swift was also published recently in the Wall Street Journal. In her column, she explains her thoughts on the music industry as it stands now and where she sees it heading.

The major reactions to her column were negative, or at least hypercritical. The week after it was published, my Facebook timeline was noticeably littered with re-action pieces, nearly all cri-tiquing her writing.

The column, titled “For Taylor Swift, the Future of Music is a Love Story,” did have some problems. But what I gleaned from the ar-ticle was that Swift is dedi-cated to ensuring her future with her fans and continu-ing to build the connection between them in new and exciting ways.

And now, Swift has changed genres all together. She always created a blend of country and pop music,

but now she’s jumped off the diving board head first into the world of pop.

Some might speculate that this move was made to increase profits, but what I see is a girl who’s tired.

I have to ask - are we making another Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus?

Both of those musicians have been the center of in-tense media attention, and because of it have altered large parts of their personal and professional lives.

Swift is following an ee-rily similar track to many famous musicians, and we need to be talking about,

not just for Taylor’s sake, but for all future Taylors to come.

Like it or not, Swift is a role model for girls every-where. What message do you send to young people when you make fun of her?

Swift is an entertainer. Her job is to make us feel

something with her music. Her job is not to be a punch-ing bag for when you’ve had a hard day and want to make fun of someone.

In the words of Chris Crocker, “Leave Taylor alone.”

Students should attend SGA meetings

KYLE MONROE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMMembers of the Trusted Ticket celebrate by lifting SGA President Chris Nyden in the air last year. Nyden and running-mate Jacob Evans will serve during the 2014-15 school year.

The first Student Govern-ment Association meeting of the 2014-15 school year will be held tonight.

If you’re looking for a way to learn more about WVU, get involved or have your voice heard – this is for you.

SGA is responsible for

a lot at WVU. Have a good time at FallFest the other day? Love the classes and equipment at the Student Rec Center? You can, in part, thank SGA for all of that.

SGA also goes up to bat for students on issues such as the smoking ban and tu-

ition costs. SGA is the voice of the

students. Students elect SGA leaders, and are the reason SGA even exists.

No, not every SGA meet-ing may discuss hard-hit-ting issues. And SGA, just like any other organization, has its kinks.

However, it is imperative students take the time to learn about SGA and what it can do for them.

Often times, when stu-dents aren’t happy with University decisions, the complaints start to roll in.

After the decision is set in stone is not the time to

start complaining. University officials come

to SGA for student input on ideas and issues all the time, but if you don’t raise your voice, how is SGA sup-posed to know why you don’t agree with a new rule?

SGA meets once a week in Hatfield’s B in the

Mountainlair. Tonight’s meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. We encourage all students to attend or watch the live stream online. If you want to make your mark and have your voice heard, SGA is a great start.

lEO (JUly 23-AUG. 22) HHH Sit back and say little; you will learn a lot more by observing. Others ini-tially might feel awkward, but you’ll learn a lot more about the people who surround you. A hunch that in-volves money could pay off. Tonight: Not to be found.

‘Santee Delta’ opens at M.T. Pocketsby jake jarvismultimedia editor @jakejarvisWvu

Feeling trapped in one’s hometown and the need to “escape” are common feel-ings, particularly for stu-dents just heading off to college.

These themes come to life in the new play, “San-tee Delta,” opening at M.T. Pockets Theatre Thursday night.

“We wanted to create a play where we could push the characters as far as we could,” said Travis Teffner, assistanct director and co-star of “Santee Delta.”

The play, written by Donald Fiddler and Teff-ner, brings the audience to an area of South Carolina called the Santee Deltas.

Lunsford Planck (played by David Beach) grew up in this area. He moved away and became an interna-tional photographer.

His partner, Jay, is a painter who travels to the Santee Deltas to complete a painting for Lunsford’s birthday.

After discovering this, Lunsford travels there and, as he arrives in the San-tee Deltas, he finds Jay in a coma.

Jay was beaten by a group of men and dragged behind a pickup truck.

Since he’s now stuck here, Lunsford decides to repair his mother’s dete-riorating home. He hires Colton Rivers (Teffner) to do the repairs.

This isn’t the first time Teffner and Fiddler have worked together. In Febru-ary 2013, the play “Elk and Wolf” was co-written by the pair and premiered at M.T. Pockets.

Teffner said Lunsford and Colton’s characters were created so that Fid-dler and Teffner could play the parts respectively.

Fiddler was unable to play the role because he was busy writing screen-plays and working on other projects.

David Beach, a prefessor at West Virginia University, finished a run of “Red” at the Monongalia Arts Cen-ter and stepped in to play the role.

Also starring in the play are Sean Marko, who dou-bles as the director, Paige Muendell and Shannon Coombs.

Coombs is represented by the same talent agency, The Talent Group, in Pitts-burgh, as Teffner. The two met during an audition, prompting Teffner to ask Coombs to audition.

“We just got so lucky (with casting), and we’re very thankful for it,” Teff-

ner said.This wouldn’t have

been the first time Teffner and Fiddler performed together - the two toured for 19 months across the country in a two-man show.

“He’s just really great,” Teffner said. “He likes to step outside himself and experience things he might not under a given circumstance. His sense for the human condition is spot on, and I’ve always been interested in that.”

Fiddler is a former pro-fessor in the education psychiatry department at WVU. Teffner said this background is another reason Fiddler is so skilled as a playwright.

Teffner said the play was inspired in part by personal experience.

“You can’t ever really escape where you come from, no matter how far you go or how different you think you become,” Teffner said.

“Santee Delta” runs Thursday through Satur-day at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for se-niors and $10 for students.

Tickets can be purchase online at http://mtpock-etstheatre.com or at the door.

New business focuses on well rounded arts educationby jake jarvismultimedia editor @jakejarvisWvu

The Artistry House, a new arts education building that just opened its doors on Greenbag Road, is hosting an open house this week. Art lovers of all kinds are invited to visit from 3:30 to 7 p.m.

Jennifer Lawrence, founder of Artistry House, is a longtime dancer with much experience teaching in the Morgantown area. Hav-ing taught dance in Morgan-town for more than 15 years, she brings a great deal of ex-pertise to her students and staff.

Lawrence earned a PhD in French language and lit-erature from the University of Pittsburgh. From there, she was an adjunct faculty member in the West Vir-ginia University french lan-guage department. Now she is an adjunct faculty mem-ber for Southern New Hamp-

shire University’s College of Online and Continuing Education.

But French isn’t Law-rence’s only specialty.

A year ago, her friend from Lousianna called to ask what it would take to come work for her. Her friend is the cre-ator of Leap N’ Learn, a pro-gram that aims to teach chil-

dren ages 3 to 12 proper ballet technique while sim-ulating child play.

Having a place like Artistry House has been a dream of Lawrence’s for years.

In January when Lawrence decided Louisianna wasn’t for her and she wanted to pursue her own dreams. Only eight months later, her

dream became a reality.But it wasn’t hard for Law-

rence to put together. She said she had programs devel-oped throughout the years to easily pull together some-thing to offer her students.

“There are a lot of good technique studios around,” Lawrence said “ (There are) places where you can get a

good arts education, but not always in a positive environ-ment. I wanted to be really sure to offer that for people in the community.”

Lawrence said Artistry House will focus mainly on dance and performing arts for the first year. In the com-ing years, she said she wants to expand the reach to in-clude all faces of arts educa-tion. In the meantime, she said there are rough plans for weekend workshops to still offer a varied education.

Though there are no defi-nite plans as of yet, Lawrence said she is looking at the pos-sibility of holding a Polaroid workshop.

“We’re just starting small, but we’re working our way up to be able to offer classes in all different arts for all ages,” Lawrence said.

Artistry House mainly has classes geared toward young children. Lawrence said this played to her strengths with Leap N’ Learn as well as the

strenghts of her staff.She said she wants to

encourage her instruc-tors to work indepen-dently to promote their classes.

One class, taught by Liz Rossi, instructs young danc-ers the basics of musical the-ater tap dancing.

In addition to dance class, Artistry House is working to provide pilates map classes for adults looking to get fit.

A full schedule of classes can be found at http://artist-ryhouse.com/schedule/.

“Five years down the line, (people) can expect to find a really well-rounded arts education here so that if they wanted to take draw-ing, painting or photogra-phy, they could come in and take a class in that - no mat-ter what their age,” Lawrence said. “And of course we’ll stick with dance — that’s my specialty.”

“The Walking Dead,” one of AMC’s most suc-cessful horror dramas, was renewed for a fifth season in October 2013.

Season four left off in March with the episode “A.”

The finale relied much on the use of flashbacks. The flashbacks showed the evolution of Rick’s (An-drew Lincoln) character from rough zombie slayer to the calm farmer.

When the flashback se-quence ends, Rick, his son Carl (Chandler Riggs) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) sit by a campfire discuss-ing the lack of food and

checking on traps in the woods.

The group comes across a small rabbit, but while Rick explains how the trap works, they hear the screams of a man in dan-ger. Carl, followed by Rick and Michonne, dashes to-ward the screams.

They come upon a man surrounded by “walkers.” Carl goes to use his pis-tol to help the man, but Rick stops him. The three of them watch as the man is overcome by the crea-tures. They take what they can and leave their camp. Then it’s back on the road to Terminus.

At night, Carl sleeps in a car while the adults talk about their destination. A gang of men unexpectedly

holds them up at gunpoint.Just in time to save

Rick’s brains from being blown out, Daryl (Norman Reedus) bargains for the lives of his friends.

The bargaining causes the group of men to lose trust in Daryl, and they move in to kill him. A man named Dan gets on top of Carl with plans to do the unspeakable right in front of his father. Rick manages to knock away the lead-er’s gun. The gun goes off and momentarily deafens Rick.

In a scuffle, Rick bites Joe (Jeff Kober), the leader, in the neck and tears out his jugular, marking the return of the badass, zom-bie-killing character that some fans were missing.

While this is happening, Daryl and Michonne kill the other men. Rick storms at Dan and takes a knife, slaughtering him like a pig for trying to rape his son.

After this gut-wrench-ing encounter, the group updates each other about what has been going on. They make their way to Terminus together.

At Terminus, they are greeted by its inhabit-ants warmly. Rick notices items belonging to older group members are in the hands of some of the strangers.

A shootout occurs, and Rick, Carl, Daryl and Mi-chonne are forced to sur-render. Then, they are or-

dered to go inside of a train car where they find Glenn (Steven Yuen), Mag-gie (Lauren Cohan) and others.

The finale ends with Rick saying “They’re gonna feel pretty stupid when they find out. They’re screwin’ with the wrong people.”

Despite the gripe of some fans, the season four finale had more than 15 million viewers.

It’s expected that more will tune in for season five.

“I think our journey this season, especially at the beginning, is going to show the scale of the world that we’re living in in a way that we haven’t done be-fore,” said Tom Luse, an ex-ecutive producer, in an in-terview on AMC’s website.

He said that they will have the opportu-nity to show other as-pects of the “walker” cri-sis that they haven’t been able to show in the past.

In the trailer for the upcoming season, the group is finally on its way to Washington, D.C. af-ter bargaining to leave Terminus.

Beth (Emily Kinney) is alive and in a hospital, much to the relief of many viewers.

“The Walking Dead” premieres Oct. 12 at 9 p.m. on AMC.

Bradley brings invaluable experience

The single most impor-tant thing West Virginia football did since los-ing in triple overtime to Iowa State in late Novem-ber 2013 – to put the final touches on their dreadful season that resulted in a 4-8 record – had nothing to do with recruiting.

Of course recruiting players is always a top priority for any collegiate team, but instead, the Mountaineers were able to get a humungous boost to their coaching staff. The team was able to add long-time Penn State coaching assistant, Tom Bradley.

Bradley, who coached alongside Joe Paterno for nearly his entire 34 years with Penn State, until Pa-terno’s firing in the midst of the Jerry Sandusky saga, also resulted in Brad-ley becoming the interim head coach for the final four games of the 2011 season.

However, to what most people believed, including myself, Bradley was not of-fered the permanent head coaching position at the end of the 2011 season. Soon after, Bradley parted ways withPenn State.

With no team for Brad-ley to coach, he checked out the broadcasting world until the next right oppor-tunity came his way.

After a couple of years without being on the side-lines, the right opportunity came his way and Bradley came to Morgantown. He became the Mountain-eers’ senior associate head coach back in February.

By West Virginia being able to add a coach that not only knows the game so well, but coaches with more passion than I saw out of any other coach on Mountaineer Field, the level for WVU to rise to success has automatically increased.

And success is exactly what WVU football was in search of, especially on the defensive side of the ball But with the acquisition of Bradley, I expect this de-fense to surprise many.

As “Scrap” said, which is what Bradley is more com-monly known as, coaching at a place other than Penn State for the first time in his 34-year career was a big decision. He said com-ing to West Virginia just felt right.

“Just be yourself, that’s what I’ve always been in coaching,” he said. “I haven’t tried to be some-body different. I’m not go-ing to change that now. I’m just not going to do that.”

He hasn’t changed. And that is a big reason why he’s been able to find suc-cess over his three-plus decades of coaching Di-vision I football. As some-one who has been able to talk to Bradley personally since his arrival, you eas-ily and quickly see that “be yourself ” attitude from him.

Something else I picked up about Bradley is the motivation he gives off consistently to anyone he may be talking to – Moun-taineer or not. By possess-ing a quality like this, I feel Bradley has already estab-lished and will only con-tinue to gain more respect with the Mountaineers as the season begins, which should then entail a more comfortable and a more well-coordinated team for Bradley to get into top notch for preseason-No. 2 Alabama in 10 days.

But perhaps the most important coaching les-son he’s able to bring to the Mountaineers is some-thing that came from the legendary Paterno.

“One thing I learned from coach Paterno, which holds true here, is there’s a lot of different ways to get things done,” he said. “People would laugh, but every year, we would come back and he (Paterno)

SAFETY FIRST

kyle monroe/the daily athenaeumWVU safety Karl Joseph gets the ball back for the Mountaineers in the 2013 season.

Junior safety Karl Joseph is ready to take on a higher leadership role this seasonby Anthony pecorAro

AssociAte sports editor @AnthonypecorAro

Karl Joseph did not waste any time to show the power he’s made of when he began his West Virginia career in 2012.

As a true freshman, the safety was named WVU Defensive Player of the Year, after starting all 13 games for the Mountain-eers at safety.

But what may be even more impressive are not the strides he’s continu-ally been making on the field since two seasons ago, but the strides he’s making in his leadership role with West Virginia, now in his junior season.

WVU special teams co-

ordinator and safeties coach Joe DeForest said the leadership steps he’s seen Joseph take through-out the years have been phenomenal – even though his leadership type is not a vocal one.

“Karl’s a quiet leader. When he does say some-thing, people listen,” De-Forest said. “He’s more of a quiet leader with work ethic (and) intensity. Peo-ple respect him, and when he’s on the field, he gets things done.”

Joseph said he’s not vo-cal because he doesn’t have to be. The chemistry that has formed around this Mountaineer football team is much greater than in his previous two sea-sons. With the chemistry

came a heighted amount of respect for all.

“We are a much more mature group, so I do not have to try as hard to get everybody on the same page,” he said. “We un-derstand what we have to do to win, which is why I think we are so much more disciplined this year.”

Respect isn’t too hard to come when, as a soph-omore, Joseph started all 12 games at free safety. He not only led WVU with four fumble recoveries, but was also first in the Big 12 Conference, and second nationally.

Putting up those types of statistics is what reas-sures DeForest that Jo-seph isn’t a player that will be plateauing any time

soon – he still has years of improving to go.

“The little things in the game that as a fresh-man you just play on in-stinct, he has really im-proved (on),” he said. “He is grasping things around him, offensively and de-fensively, where he knows what’s going to come next.”

Understanding Joseph’s full potential was not so easy for him when he first came to Morgantown, es-pecially when it came to mastering how to get the most out of each practice.

“The biggest thing I’ve learned is how to practice and translating that on to the field,” he said. “I know I can’t go out there and be lazy and expect to go out

on to the game field and be great.”

Though the season has yet to begin, through fall camp and this squad be-ing around each other ev-ery day for the past few weeks, has made Joseph realize that the hype en-tering 2014 isn’t a joke for WVU – something is just different this year.

“I think it’s everything. It’s the coaching staff be-ing together for a longer period of time and the guys that were younger, my class, are all juniors now,” he said. “So every-body knows what they are supposed to do. Every-body should know their role.”

calicchio looks to not waste opportunityby dillon durst

sports writer @dAilyAthenAeum

One of the highest hon-ors a walk-on athlete at a Division I school can re-ceive is being awarded a scholarship.

A walk-on is an athlete who joins a team without receiving the financial ben-efits of a scholarship. Due to NCAA limitations, standout walk-ons are occasionally given one, if a spot opens.

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen recently

awarded redshirt senior of-fensive lineman Michael Calicchio a scholarship.

Calicchio, a former walk-on, didn’t begin playing football until his senior year at Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. The giant 6-foot-9, 315-pound offen-

sive lineman went on to play one season at Valley Forge Military Prep School before coming to WVU in 2010 as a walk-on.

“This big, giant of a man was awful five years ago when he showed up,” Hol-gorsen said. “He couldn’t walk and chew gum at the same time.”

After redshirting the 2010 season, Calicchio trans-ferred to CW Post in Long Island for the 2011 season before returning to WVU as a redshirt sophomore in 2012.

Last season, Calicchio appeared in all 12 games for the Mountaineers and was used extensively on special teams.

Despite his status as a walk-on, Calicchio, who was awarded the Tom Nickolich Award as WVU’s top walk-on, continued to work hard before Holgorsen made him the team’s 83rd scholarship player.

“He is a hard worker on the field and off the field and is a great student,” Hol-gorsen said. “He is one of our leaders on the entire team right now. When he talks, people listen. He is a guy that we can count on.”

“It’s a real blessing, and I can’t thank the coaches

enough because I am go-ing to be able to graduate on time and according to plan,” Calicchio said about the benefits of receiving a scholarship.

Calicchio said his fam-ily is also proud of him for his accomplishment, but he said they were proud of him – scholarship or not.

“They were proud in the spring, and they are proud now,” he said. “My family is a tremendous support for me, even though they are all the way back in New York. They keep in touch with me every day, and I can’t be more proud of my accom-plishments to make them proud.

“I am happy, and they are happy for me. Definitely.”

Entering his final sea-son with the Mountaineers, Calicchio, who was listed as the No. 2 right tackle on the post-spring depth chart, and figures to make a push for playing time this fall.

Of course, injuries on the offensive line are bound to happen at some point during the season. And when a teammate does go down, expect Calicchio to be patiently waiting for his opportunity.

communication key for West Virginia

would want to sit around and talk about 3-deep.

“I said, “Coach, you’ve been playing 3-deep for 50 years, what are we go-ing to talk about again?” “(And he would say,) well there may be a better way to do it, why don’t we look at it again – that’s what I learned. There is no one

way to get this thing done and there’s a lot of differ-ent ways to do it.”

There is no one way, but adding Bradley was definitely one of the bet-ter ways West Virginia could have gone about fixing their disappoint-ing defense, while adding a coach that brings some much needed fire to the entire squad for hopefully a better 2014 season.

It’s one thing to play a sport physically, but it’s an-other to play it verbally.

The West Virginia wom-en’s soccer team is looking to improve its communi-cation while on the playing field.

The Mountaineers re-cently picked up a 3-1 win in an exhibition game against Navy Saturday. Not only did West Virginia excel physi-cally, but their communi-cation was evident as well.

Each player, in one way or another, was commu-nicating with each other. Whether it was goalkeeper Hannah Steadmen shouting from the very opposite side of the field or midfielder Amanda Hill directing traf-fic during tight situations.

Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said she liked what she saw and heard as far as communication in the scrimmage win against Navy. She said her hope is that her team can continue to communicate as the sea-son nears.

“That’s a goal of ours,” she

said following the exhibi-tion win. “We want to make sure they are vocal. They can make the game easier. I think by being vocal you can only make the game easier and I think we did that.”

Losing a player like Fran-ces Silva means losing a big-time leader. Silva was the Mountaineers’ premier player for years, and with-out her others have to take the shape of a leader and provide that on-field-com-munication and elite phys-ical play.

Players like senior for-ward Kate Schwindel and

sophomore defender Carly Black have recognized they’re leaders for this team – and being vocal is a ma-jor factor.

“Obviously, we lost some big-time seniors last year,” Schwindel said. “So, I needed to step up in that role and be more vocal when usually I’m kind of more reserved.”

One would hardly con-sider Schwindel reserved during the Mountaineers scrimmage Saturday.

She brought intensity and leadership and was in-cluded in the crop of indi-

viduals who were shouting out commands to fellow teammates on just about ev-ery play of the game.

While these players have embraced leadership roles and can be heard loud and clear, it may take some less-vocal individuals to further the team’s communication.

With a crop of newcom-ers and freshmen putting on a West Virginia jersey for the first time, being a bois-terous leader may not be as simple as those who’ve been around the program for some time.

High pressure and expec-

tations have fallen on the shoulders of the two-time Big 12 champions. Making the game easier by commu-nicating can only increase their chances of claiming a third-straight conference title.

While it’s still early, it ap-pears West Virginia’s vet-eran players understand what it will take to be vo-cal on the field. The team will need to continue that trend as their season opener against Penn State rapidly approaches.

steve ballmer debuts as lA clippers owner

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Sweat-ing, clapping and shouting until he was nearly hoarse, Steve Ballmer introduced himself to Los Angeles Clip-pers fans at a rally on Mon-day celebrating his new ownership of the NBA team.

The former Microsoft CEO made his way through the crowd inside Staples Center to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” exchanging high-fives and chest-bumping as he took the stage in front of 4,500 fans.

Ballmer paid a record $2 billion for the team in a sale that was confirmed by a judge last week. The name of disgraced former owner Donald Sterling, who con-trolled the team for 33 years before being banned for life by the NBA for racist re-marks, was never uttered during the rally.

“We’re looking forward,” Ballmer proclaimed, having removed his blue Clippers hat. “Everything is about looking forward.”

Ballmer’s fervor was in stark contrast to Sterling, who never spoke to the me-

dia and was famously frugal when it came to spending on the team during decades of losing – despite having amassed a fortune through real estate.

“Today is about this other guy who just happened to have two billion dollars in his pocket,” coach Doc Rivers joked on stage. “I asked him are you sure it went through and he said, ‘I know my bank account is minus two billion so I know something went through.’”

Ballmer gave out his email address during the televised rally and was quick to assure fans he won’t move the team to Seattle, where he’s lived for 34 years. He was nearly an NBA owner last year be-fore league owners chose to keep the Kings in Sacra-mento, rather than allow them to be sold to a group that included Ballmer and moved to Seattle.

“I love Los Angeles,” he said. “Yes, I live in Seattle. We’re not moving the Clip-pers to Seattle for a hundred reasons.”

Ballmer used a micro-phone, but his booming voice easily filled the arena without it. He prowled the stage and gestured to make his points in the enthusias-tic style he was known for among Microsoft employees.

“We’re going to be bold. Bold means taking chances,” he said. “We’re going to be optimistic. We’re going to be hard-core. Nothing gets in our way, boom! The hard-core Clippers, that’s us.”

Chris Paul, Blake Grif-fin and DeAndre Jordan were among eight players on hand, along with Rivers, who guided the Clippers to 57 wins last season, his first with the team.

“When he came through the crowd, I literally had goose bumps,” Griffin said afterward. “I don’t know if there’s one good word to de-scribe him. I know all our guys are excited about the energy he brings. It’s com-pletely different.”

Ballmer took a few emailed questions from sea-son ticketholders, including a 26-year fan who asked how the next 26 years of the fran-chise would be different.

“I’ll boldly say the Clip-pers will win many, many more Larrys in the next 26 years than they did in the last 26,” he said, referring to the Larry O’Brien trophy that goes to the NBA champion.

Rivers clearly got a kick out of Ballmer’s passionate display, cracking up at his new boss’ proclamations af-ter having previously seen him only on YouTube.

“I love energy,” Rivers said later. “You get caught up in that and that’s good. That was great for our fans.”

Interim CEO Dick Par-sons testified during the court battle over the team’s sale that Rivers would quit if Sterling was the owner going into next season.

“Sometimes you do have to take a stand,” Rivers said. “I didn’t think I was going to have to (quit), but a lot of us were willing to for sure.”

He added, “You always have to move on. I have.”

Ballmer gave the title “owner emeritus” to Ster-ling’s estranged wife, Shelly, who negotiated the deal. She will receive two floor seats, 10 other seats and parking at Staples Center for games.

“Without her this deal does not get done,” Rivers said afterward. “She wants to be a fan. She’s no longer the owner. I’m fine with that.”

Ballmer shared dinner with Rivers and some of the players a night earlier, when the discussion focused on where he’ll sit during games. Sterling sat at mid-court within earshot of the players.

When someone suggested behind the Clippers’ bench, like Dallas owner Mark Cu-ban does, Rivers said, “I don’t know if I could deal with that energy.”

Manziel’s gesture taints Browns’ loss

ap photoWashington LB Brian Orakpo reacts after Cleveland Johnny Manziel was sacked in the first half.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) – If the Cleveland Browns pick a quarterback based solely on numbers, there’s not much either Johnny Man-ziel or Brian Hoyer did to show he deserves the job.

If the choice is based on maturity, the hot-shot rookie’s obscene gesture lost him some ground to the nondescript sixth-year veteran.

Manziel raised his mid-dle finger toward the op-ponents’ bench as he re-turned to the huddle late in the third quarter of Mon-day night’s 24-23 loss to the Washington Redskins. Truth be told, it was one of

the few times a Browns QB actually found his intended target.

“It does not sit well,” Cleveland coach Mike Pet-tine said. “It’s disappoint-ing, because what we talk about is being poised and being focused. ... That’s a big part of all football players, especially the quarterback.”

Manziel called the mo-ment a “lapse of judg-ment” and suggested it was brought about by another game of unprintable verbal grief from another team’s players and fans. He was openly mocked by Brian Orakpo in the first quar-

ter when the Redskins line-backer raised both hands and performed the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner’s “money” gesture after a sack by Ryan Kerrigan.

“I get words exchanged throughout the entirety of the game, every game, week after week, and I should’ve been smarter,” Manziel said. “It was a ‘Monday Night Football’ game, and cameras were probably solid on me, and I just need to be smarter about that.

“It’s there, and it’s pres-ent every game, and I just need to let it slide off my back and go to the next play.”

Meanwhile, Pettine needs to pick a starting quarterback. The perfor-mances were so unspec-tacular that the coach sug-gested he might audible from his previously stated plan of announcing his regular-season starter on Tuesday.

“All the options are still on the table,” Pettine said.

Hoyer started Monday night and completed 2 of 6 passes for 16 yards. His self-assessment: “It proba-bly couldn’t have been any worse. It’s disappointing. It was embarrassing.”

Manziel, the No. 22 pick in the NFL draft, was 7 for

16 for 65 yards and a touch-down. Of his series early in the game, he said: “I re-ally tried to force every-thing and not let it fly like I should have. I need to get better at that and throw the dang ball.”

Those stats, as mediocre as they are, were padded by series against the Redskins’ backups. In the first quarter – when Washington’s start-ers were in the game – Man-ziel was 2 for 7 for 29 yards, and Hoyer was 0 for 2.

“They both missed some throws,” Pettine said.

If there’s any hint as to which way Pettine is lean-ing, it’s worth noting that

Hoyer started for the sec-ond consecutive game and played mostly with the first-team offense. Manziel was sent out with the reserves to play in the second half.

Manziel took advan-tage by leading a 16-play, 68-yard drive capped by an 8-yard pass to Dion Lewis for Cleveland’s first touchdown.

But the six points were overshadowed by the one finger.

“A lot of people just scream out things that are very, very disrespectful,” Browns cornerback Joe Haden said. “He’s just got to zone it out.”

Simms, Dungy likely not to use ‘Redskins’ on TVNEW YORK (AP) – Two in-

fluential NFL voices – in-cluding CBS lead analyst Phil Simms, who will han-dle Washington’s Week 4 game – said Monday they likely won’t use the term “Redskins” when discuss-ing the franchise.

Simms, Dungy likely not to use ‘Redskins’ on TV

“My very first thought is it will be Washington the whole game,” Simms told The Associated Press on Monday.

Simms will work the Thursday night package the network acquired this season and will have Gi-ants-Redskins on Sept. 25. He isn’t taking sides in the debate over whether Wash-ington’s nickname is offen-sive or racist. But he says he is sensitive to the com-plaints about the name, and his instincts now are to not use Redskins in his announcing.

“I never really thought about it, and then it came up and it made me think about it,” Simms added. “There are a lot of things that can come up in a broadcast, and I am sensi-tive to this.”

His broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, says it is “not my job to take a stance.”

NBC’s Tony Dungy, one

of the most prominent voices in the league as a Super Bowl-winning coach and now as a studio com-mentator, plans to take the same route as Simms.

“I will personally try not to use Redskins and refer to them as Washington,” Dungy said in an email. “Personal opinion for me, not the network.”

CBS is allowing its an-nouncers to decide on their own whether to call the team the Redskins. So is Fox, which handles the NFC and will televise most of Washington’s games.

“As long as their nick-name is the Redskins, I’ll continue to call them the Redskins,” said Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, the lead analyst for Fox.

NBC does not have any Redskins games scheduled - the late-season flex sched-uling could change that - but the team certainly will be mentioned on its NFL telecasts this season. The network said “For all of our sports properties, our on-air commentators have full discretion to reference participating teams by their city/region/state name, team nickname or both.”

ESPN said in a state-ment: “We use the marks and nicknames as utilized

by the teams, leagues and conferences we cover.”

The Redskins’ nickname was the subject of a half-time essay by NBC’s Bob Costas last October when Washington played Dal-las on Sunday night. In part, Costas said, “Think for a moment about the term ‘Redskins,’ and how it truly differs from all the others. Ask yourself what

the equivalent would be, if directed toward Afri-can-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, or members of any other ethnic group. When considered that way, ‘Red-skins’ can’t possibly honor a heritage, or noble char-acter trait, nor can it possi-bly be considered a neutral term. It’s an insult, a slur, no matter how benign the present-day intent.’”

Several CBS announc-ers, appearing at a network news conference about its NFL coverage, said they will use the nickname.

“That’s the name of their team and that’s what I am going to use,” said Boomer Esiason, a member of the CBS studio crew and also an analyst for Westwood One on Monday night games.

Spero Dedes and Solo-mon Wilcots will call the second game of the season when the Redskins host Jacksonville. Dedes said he will seek direction from the entire broadcast crew on using the nickname.

“I sympathize with peo-ple who may be offended by the name,” Dedes said. “

Wilcots said he will use “Washington Redskins as long as that is what they are called. That’s their official name and I used it last year, two years ago, 10 years ago.”

Rich Gannon, the NFL’s MVP in 2002 with the Raid-ers, spent one season play-ing for the Redskins. He now announces games for CBS.

“There are so many Red-skins fans that take great pride in the name,” Gan-non said. “(Owner) Daniel Snyder has said he’s talked and visited with (many) American Indian nations who are supportive of the name. And there are those who oppose it who are be-ing heard. It’s an important topic.”
