Dining halls are ‘going green’By CARlEE lAmmERS

CITy EdITOr

As part of a campus-wide effort to increase sus-tainabillity, West Virginia University Dining Services is working to eliminate the use to styrofoam to-go con-tainers next semester.

Dining Services has contracted with OZZI En-terprises to provide reus-able to-go containers at se-lect dining facilities across campus.

OZZI Enterprises has developed a sustainable to-go system that uses to-kens and a collectable ma-chine system to provide an easy and sustainable alter-native to disposable to-go boxes.

“The OZZI system is a means of collecting reus-able eco-containers in a convenient manner, while reimbursing the student with a token that is good for the next container. This system could ultimately

eliminate disposable take-out containers in our res-idential dining program and replace them with re-usable containers to re-duce the amount of our trash sent to our landfill,” said David Friend, Director of WVU Dining Services.

Each container will have a printed barcode that is read by the collection sta-tion. The system will then issue the students a token for returning a container. Cashiers will issue new

sanitized containers to students in exchange for a token.

WVU students will have an opportunity to try a test of the system in the spring at the Terrace Room in Stalnaker Hall. During the first week of the spring se-mester, students will be able to pick up a free token at the Terrace Room. Stu-dents can exchange their token for a heavy, wash-able, plastic, environmen-tally friendly to-go con-

tainer when they enter a dining hall.

Friend said Dining Ser-vices has been exploring viable alternatives to the styrofoam containers for

quite sometime and be-lieves the OZZI system will prove to be the most effec-tive for the lowest price.

West Virginia University’s College of Human Resources and Education is working to make young spirits bright this holiday season.

Partnering with WVU Extension Ser-vice’s Energy Express and student organi-zations like the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association, the HRE will once again host its annual Children’s Holiday Book Drive, beginning this week.

“The book drive is important, because it promotes literacy and builds reading skills among children living in rural ar-eas or lower income families,” said Mary Beth Stickles, HRE Alumni Relations and Special Events coordinator.

NSSLHA member Olivia Plazak said she looks forward to the drive and be-lieves it is a great way to bring together the WVU community and donate books for a great and important cause.

Students are encouraged to donate new or gently-used books to one of the following locations: Giant Eagle on Greenbag Road; Huntington Bank in Suncrest; Morgantown Mall, main con-course; Mountaineer Mall, main con-course; United Bank’s Glenmark, Sabra-ton, and Waterfront locations; and 802 Allen Hall, WVU’s Evansdale Campus.

Stickles said the drive will benefit low-income children in grades K-6 in Mor-gantown and across the state.

The books will be distributed to ap-proximately 3,000 children who would otherwise be unable to attain these books themselves.

When Lucia Viti unearthed a box in her brother’s attic in 2001 – 14 years af-ter her father’s death – she discovered more about war, faith and family than she could ever have imagined.

“I stumbled across this Harry & Da-vid box of what I thought were photo-graphs,” Viti said. “It was a box of my dad’s Vietnam memorabilia, most of which I had never even seen.”

The box contained the medals, com-mendations, mementos and letters of Tom Viti, Lucia’s father and former battalion surgeon during the Vietnam War.

Viti, a New York native and West Vir-ginia University graduate living in San Diego, felt compelled to learn more about her father and his service in one of the United States’ most divisive mili-tary efforts.

It led her across the country in search of her father’s marine comrades and produced a unique narrative memoir of her father and the marines alongside whom he served: “Dr. Tom’s War – A Daughter’s Journey.”

“Our first initiative was to explore the costs of al-ternative take-out ves-sels to replace the sty-rofoam. The cost was 525 percent higher per unit to provide a more sustainable to go container with similar features. We did not want to pass this cost on to our dining plan holders,” he said.

“Therefore, Kathy (Cur-tin, Assistant Director of Dining Services) started exploring options for re-usable containers that would ultimately replace disposables,” he said.

“The styrofoam hinged containers for takeout have been a concern for a couple years. The OZZI system came to the fore-front after conducting a re-view of reusable options. Several colleges and uni-versities have successfully launched this program, in-cluding the University of Maryland.”

Chris Haddox, a visit-ing assistant professor for the Davis College of Agri-culture, Natural Resources

and Design, said he is ex-cited for the opportunity to make WVU a more en-vironmentally conscious campus.

“While styrofoam con-tainers have many advan-tages for the food service industry, they have the potential to leave behind a nasty legacy in terms of nondegradable trash in the environment,” Haddox said. “In addition, the use of styrofoam containers promotes the ‘use it once and throw it away’ mental-ity that is associated with many of the environmen-tal problems we face as a world,” he said.

I look forward to in-volving my students in the campaign to reduce the use of styrofoam contain-ers on the WVU campus.”

Friend said the WVU Dining Services has al-ready taken other ini-t iat ives to increase sustainabillity, including going trayless in each on-campus dinning hall. How-ever, he said, Dining Ser-vices is always working to improve.

“We have improved the majority of our takeout containers in our grab-

and-go operations; how-ever, there is always room for improvement,” he said.

Dining Services con-ducted an extensive waste audit last year in conjunction with the University Sustainablity Committee to determine various items both pre-and-post-consumer that end up in the land fill,” he said.

“Our goal is to contin-uously develop strategies that will ultimately reduce the generation of waste within dining services.”

The system will be tested throughout the spring se-mester in the Terrace Room.

Dining Services will as-sess the effectiveness of both waste reduction and financial impact of the OZZI system.

If it is successful, Friend said Dining Services would try to expand the pro-gram to both Boreman and Arnold the following semester.

through reading and learn-ing programs.

The program takes places in 80 sites across the state and was named one of the nation’s best summer learning programs in 2009.

Energy Express’ Amer-iCorps mentors will per-sonally distribute the books once the drive is completed.

“Books had such an im-pact on me when I was younger, so it’s time for my generation and older gen-erations to give back to underprivileged children and let them enjoy reading

books, as well as help de-velop their reading abili-ties,” Plazak said.

St ickles said the HRE’s goal is to exceed 1,000 books, the total amount that they received last year.

“By having access to books, it helps to promote reading at home, because it encourages an activity that parents and children can enjoy doing together,” Stickles said.

The Children’s Holiday Book Drive will continue through Dec. 17.

search, I realized the book wouldn’t just be about Vietnam, it would be about my father – his work there as a battalion surgeon, as well as the work of the men who served there alongside him,” Viti said.

Dr. Tom Viti served as a battalion surgeon as-signed to the Second Bat-talion Fifth Marines, First Marine Division in An Hoa in the Republic of South Vietnam in 1967.

He earned the Bronze Star Medal with Com-bat Distinguished Ser-vice, the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, the

National Defense Service Medal and the Conspicu-ous Service Medal from the State of New York, among others.

Viti remembers her fa-ther as a kind and respected physician and sought sev-eral marines from the 2/5 Battalion, many of whom had not spoken of their ex-periences in Vietnam until they were interviewed.

“There were many sto-ries that I felt my father was still serving as a con-duit for bringing them to-gether and healing from the effects of this extremely controversial war,” Viti said.

“There wasn’t an inter-view I did that didn’t help or hurt in some way – hurt

because the conversa-tions that these men had with me were things they hadn’t spoken about in 40-plus years.”

According to Viti and many of the marines refer-enced in “Dr. Tom’s War,” Tom Viti spent more time in the “bush” than many wartime surgeons in Viet-nam, and his bravery and the bravery of those in his battalion earned recogni-tion even after the publi-cation of the book.

“One of the men who has his own chapter, ‘Boats and Bandages,’ received a silver medal because of the writing of the book more than 20 years after his he-roic acts of bravery in the field,” Viti said.

“ That me dal was awarded to him by the commandant of the Ma-rine Corps in the Marine Corps museum in Quan-tico, Va.”

Many of the stories of bravery recounted to Viti centered on her father.

“I learned that despite his gregarious nature, he was extremely brave in combat, which I would never have guessed,” Viti said. “I never imagined a

man like my dad, who was really funny and outgoing, to have so many medals because he saved life after life and disregarded order after order in order to save the lives that he saved.”

Viti, a graduate of the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism and a writer in the health and wellness field, said her personal journey collecting infor-mation for “Dr. Tom’s War” led her to grow as a person and better understand an aspect of American history that has been so controver-sial for so long.

“I think what I’ve come to learn and appreciate is how America turned her back on these men during the Vietnam War because they went and did what their country asked them to do,” Viti said.

“I grew in a lot of ways, emotionally and spiritu-ally, and it never would have happened if I hadn’t written this book.”

ChillWEll prepares students for finals gauntletBy mAdISoN FlECk

STAff WrITEr

WELLWVU: The Stu-dents’ Center of Health is campaigning for a positive and stress-free state of mind for West Virginia University students with this month’s chillWELL initiative.

ChillWELL is a part of WELLWVU’s liveWELL campaign, which takes each month and pairs it with social marketing cam-paigns and educational activities and addresses health issues for the partic-ular month.

“We pick our themes based on what is really de-fined by students on our national health assessment scale for top issues,” said Colleen Harshbarger, di-

rector of Health and Well-ness at WELLWVU. “Stress is identified by our students as the leading academic impediment.”

ChillWELL has not only been developed to help stu-dents with stress, but it also aims to help them to see the world in a more posi-tive light.

WELLWVU strives to help students retrain their brains to scan the world for the positive through gratitude practice.

“We know that what causes most of our stress is something that has hap-pened in the past or some-thing that people are wor-ried about happening in the future,”Harshbarger said. “So by training your-self to really be present and

to experience positivity in the present really gets rid of stress.”

Even with just two min-utes of gratitude training a day, an individual’s brain can become 31 percent more productive, she said.

Harshbarger said if stu-dents practice these mind-sets for 21 days straight, they will rewire their brains to look at the positive side of things.

“People get stressed when they feel like life sucks, and nothing is go-ing their way,” she said. “By recognizing the power you have over your own stress and creating a plan and looking for the good things in your life, that basically takes care of stress.”

WELLWVU has con-

structed creative and hands-on activities to teach and train students to change their own bod-ies’ and minds’ response to stress.

The liveWELL calen-dar is an interactive online tool that teaches students time management skills. This also helps students see what is going to be realistic to help them be successful in their time.

“It encourages the idea of being present in each mo-ment of your day, which is very important,” Harsh-barger said.

Students also have ac-cess to WELLWVU’S Chill-PACKs, which is a tool that provides a different activ-ity each day and allows stu-dents to once again look

for the positive in life. The link can be found on WELL-WVU’s website.

WELLWVU also teaches a program called heartMATH, which is a computer-based program to teach self-regu-lation, how the body physi-cally responds to stress and how students can identify certain emotions that trig-ger or reduce stress.

This program teaches students techniques to im-prove nervous system func-tion, emotional stability and cognitive performance.

Harsbarger said well-WVU also offers an artistic program to help aid in deal-ing with stress with the pro-gram’s (Mantra) Workshop.

This workshop helps stu-dents come up with a posi-tive self statement that be-

comes their mantra, or something they would re-peat to themselves through-out the day to keep them-selves in a stress-free state.

“We’re focusing on stress reducing this month with it being the holidays and fi-nals. We want students to really have a positive point of view,” said wellWVU Graduate Assistant Alyssa Iannamorelli.

WELLWVU will conclude the month by hosting chill-WELL Day during dead week – Dec. 3 and Thursday Dec. 6 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. – in the Mountainlair.

More information and a calendar of chillWELL ac-tivities can be found by vis-iting www.well.wvu.edu.

Brooklyn-based graphic art studio Cannonball Press currently has a vari-ety of its prints and origi-nal pieces on display in the Paul Mesaros Gallery of the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center.

The gallery opened Oct. 11, and various images and art projects have lined

the walls since its grand opening.

Viewing is free and open to both students and Mor-gantown residents; all you must do is ask for the door to be unlocked.

Once inside, one can en-joy a collection of pieces that all contribute to a sim-ilar tone. Both paper and canvas are used, and the images vary in style, shape and form. That said, there

is a cohesive picture pre-sented that more or less emphasizes how our ev-eryday lives operate like circuses.

Certain pieces depict cellphone-yammering cit-izens, while others play up the idea of the family meal. The work is somewhat out-rageous in its appearance, but the style helps commu-nicate the necessary sense of chaos.

The lines are jagged, bold and numerous, and they resemble something you’d see in a small-press punk zine.

Though humorous, some of the pieces hold a more sullen interest. One work in particular uses a tent as its medium of choice – not paper or can-vas – and printed on it are images of poverty, strug-gle, corporation and Ste-

ven Speilberg in a “Jaws” T-shirt.

Cannonball Press was founded in 1999 by Martin Mazorra and Mike Hous-ton, and the studio is still solely in their hands. It rep-resents nearly 20 artists, and the work produced by these individuals has been shown all around the globe.

Most notably, Cannon-ball Press was named an

Artists Ford Fellow in 2009. According to the com-

pany’s website, the studio’s goal is to “hopefully add some small chapter to the rich history of printing.”

The collection will be on display at the CAC until Dec. 6. For more informa-tion on Cannonball Press, visit www.cannonball-press.com.

‘Skyfall’ exceeds expectations, showcases strengths of 007 series

I love James Bond.But let’s get one thing

straight: I don’t go to a Bond movie to see a deep and heart-warming story or to feel strong emotional connections with the characters as I’m torn this way and that alongside them.

I go to a Bond movie to watch Aston Martins drive dangerously and subse-quently explode, and I go to see impossibly narrow es-capes performed by a sexy Englishman in a suit.

“Skyfall,” the latest movie installment in the 007 series based on Ian Fleming’s books, delivers this and so much more.

From the moment those two iconic chords start the classic theme song, Daniel Craig begins an epic adven-ture that could only happen in a Bond movie.

The lead actor is debonair and handsome, and despite many suggestions through

the movie that he may be playing the role of a younger man in the espionage game, he proves that an old dog re-ally can learn some new tricks.

Judi Dench is flawless in her portrayal of M, the head of the Secret Intelligence Service.

Dench has played this role for 17 years and remains one of the best parts of the series.

Dench’s M breaks from the male-dominated series in a very powerful way. Rather than being another of Bond’s conquests, M is a strong, in-telligent female presence and, more importantly, the only character who manages to keep the wild hero in line.

This movie is not so much about James Bond as it is about M, and that was a great change.

The struggle is all about M’s past as it comes back to haunt her in unexpected ways. Dench carries nearly the en-tire movie on her shoulders and delivers as only the expe-rienced, classically trained ac-tress could.

A hero alone does not make a movie, though, and every-

body loves a good Bond vil-lain. “Skyfall’s” Silva is a thrill-ingly written villain whose flawless planning hearkens to BBC “Sherlock’s” Moriarty and whose unpredictability is reminiscent of Heath Led-ger’s Joker.

Javier Bardem is so spec-tacularly insane you begin to worry for Bond’s safety just being in the same room as Silva. It’s as though he’s not walking a tightrope between sanity and insanity, but rather swinging like Gabby Douglas on the uneven parallel bars that separate the two.

The new Q, Bond’s right-hand, gadget-providing man, is played by Ben Whishaw. Whishaw’s Q is more Doogie Howser than John Cleese, and this young, almost child prod-igy-like version of the charac-ter is a great counter to the ag-ing Bond.

I, for one, hope this Q sticks around for a few more movies.

All in all, “Skyfall” is a sim-ple movie. It doesn’t have some convoluted plot, and it doesn’t waste time get-ting to the fights and explo-sions, but the characters are

so deep and well-written, one can’t help but fall in love with them all.

The casting is flawless, and the actors tell this new story beautifully.

If you haven’t seen “Sky-fall,” do. It’s a great movie. Not a great action movie, not a great Bond movie – just a great movie.

Last week, the West Vir-ginia Board of Education voted 5-2 to dismiss State Superindendent Jorea Mar-ple from her position. This decision has ignited a fire-storm throughout the state’s education commu-nity, with many question-ing the board’s underlying motivations for terminating Marple.

Fueling the controversy surrounding this firing is the fact that the Board did not provide any substantive rea-sons for Marple’s dismissal and that her successor has apparently already been

chosen. Moreover, Marple was hired unanimously last year after an exhaustive job search, and many are won-dering if she was given a fair chance at performing her duties.

The two Board mem-bers who voted against this measure, Jenny Phil-lips and Patricia Haden, re-signed in protest. They have since spoken out against the Board’s behavior, asserting that there had been no indi-cation Marple was perform-ing her job poorly and that the proposal to fire her was brought up suddenly and

without prior discussion. In response to the outcry

regarding the firing, which has even resulted in a pro-test in support of Marple outside of the West Virginia Department of Education’s headquarters in the state’s capital, the Board has only provided the ambiguous explanation that it was time for a change.

This hardly explains why they would suddenly decide to axe someone they had only hired last year – some-one widely respected in the state’s education circles and someone who recently re-

ceived a raise after a positive performance evaluation.

Critics accuse the Board of firing Marple for political reasons. Considering the circumstances, there cer-tainly appears to be some basis to this accusation.

The Board, which in-cludes Sen. Joe Manchin’s wife Gayle Manchin, has failed to provide a plausi-ble explanation for Marple’s dismissal.

Additionally, the dis-creet and abrupt manner in which this firing was carried out may have vio-lated the state’s open meet-

ings law, which sets certain guidelines for transparency at these types of meetings.

If the Board has valid reasons for giving Marple the proverbial boot, these should be made public im-mediately. If they continue to avoid providing a ratio-nale for their decision, the accusations of a political hit-job gain credence, and the Board will further dam-age its reputation. The Board must answer the valid ques-tions surrounding its action, and they need to do it now.

Marple firing raises questions

APChina’s Premier Wen Jiabao, right, chats with U.S. President Barack Obama, left, as Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen stands between them in Phnom Penh, Cambodia Nov. 20, 2012.

Unmanned aerial vehi-cles, most commonly re-ferred to as drones, have been used by the US mil-itary to attack suspected enemies consistently since 2004, when Presi-dent Bush sought to lo-cate and kill Taliban and Al-Qaeda members in Pakistan.

Since then, drone use has been on the rise and has diversified to include other countries, and drone operations are targeting various terrorist groups.

According to a recent article in The New York Times, there have been more than 300 drone strikes and 2,500 people killed by those drone at-tacks since Barack Obama took office. The Obama administration and the American people need to

think carefully and criti-cally about the ethical im-plications of drone use, as well as what the United States’ use of drones says about our country’s phi-losophy and global agenda moving forward.

It is unfortunate that President Obama has taken the stance he has re-garding the use of drones in military action. As a man who champions himself and is lauded by a good deal of the Amer-ican people as a sup-porter of human and civil rights, Obama’s backing of drones doesn’t jive with his ethos.

Obama has sold him-self as a President who has concerns for minor-ities and the weak. Does the use of a remote con-trolled killing device that sometimes kills children fit Obama’s character? Does it comply with what we want America to be?

Many say the use of un-manned drones is a nec-

essary evil to protect the Amer ican homeland. Others will roughly guf-faw that President Obama and the government who support drone use aren’t letting down the Ameri-can people, but keeping them safe. A United States that believes civilian life in Pakistan is less valuable than civilian life in Mary-land is not a United States I am proud to be a part of.

While some might groan at the prospect of an increasingly global world community, it is happen-ing and is irreversible. We would be good to em-brace the changes, rather than try and fight them. We don’t have a very good track record of attempting to deny cultural shifts.

The legality of drone use has been continually questioned by American and global leaders. A UN specialist on extrajudicial killings, Christof Heyns, has suggested that some drone strikes constitute

“war crimes.” Other ex-perts like Ian Seiderman, the director of the Inter-national Commission of Jurists, have said that be-cause of drone use, “im-mense damage was being done to the fabric of inter-national law.” Experts are indeed worried US drone use might be doing more harm than good, encour-aging terrorists to act out and possibly provoking other countries to violate laws set up by events like the Geneva Convention.

The ethics of drone use is probably the most challenging argument, as has already been men-tioned with the loss of ci-vilian life. A joint 2012 re-port done by law school researchers at NYU and Stanford titled “Living Un-der Drones: Death, Injury and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan” details the terrorizing effects drones are having on people in the affected areas.

According to the re-port, “their way of life is collapsing: kids are too terrified to go to school, adults are afraid to attend weddings, funerals, busi-ness meetings or anything that involves gathering in groups.” Obviously drones are not just sniping out evil individuals – they are destroying cultures and innocent lives.

One of the most de-feating moments of the 2012 presidential elec-tions came in the last de-bate when both Mitt Rom-ney and Barack Obama refused to deliberate over the use of drones, both basically conceding that what was happen-ing was working for the country and didn’t need a change. When asked about Obama’s drone pol-icy, Romney said, “I sup-port that entirely and feel the president was right to up the usage of that tech-nology and believe that we should continue to use it

to continue to go after the people who represent a threat to this nation and to our friends.” No dis-cussion about the ethical implications or civilian deaths caused by drone use ensued.

While American drone attacks have indeed killed terrorists, legal ramifica-tions and human rights violations must be recon-sidered. Like any tech-nology, continued analy-sis and questioning must be done as America and other countries navigate toward finding peace on the earth. President Obama would do better to reassess his position un-der the lens of his human rights campaigns.

The American people need to look outside them-selves and view all civil-ian lives as valuable, not just ones with whom we share citizenship. Those things we deem as neces-sary evils are still exactly that: evil.

General David Petraeus stepped down from his position as the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency on November 9, 2012 amidst criticism con-cerning his affair with his personal biographer, Paula Broadwell. This certainly is not the first time a public official has stepped down from a powerful office in response to the elucidation of an extramarital affair – Bill Clinton, arguably one

of the most effective Presi-dents of our time and con-sistently ranked in the top quartile, was impeached after allegations of having a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. But, to what de-gree do our “extra-curric-ular activities” actually af-fect our ability to carry out our jobs?

People in Europe didn’t understand why Bill Clin-ton stepped down af-ter having an affair; they largely considered extra-marital affairs to have no bearing on leadership ca-pacity. While there may be a difference in cultural norms between, generally

speaking, Europe and the United States, the under-lying presumption, from a European perspective, still stands – why would a lead-er’s personal affairs be of concern to American citi-zens? Even when I was in high school, I was critical of the media’s incessant hounding on Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol. Sarah Palin was an idiot regard-less of how many pre-mar-ital children her daugh-ter popped out by Election Day – why should the per-sonal life of her daughter have anything to do with Governor Palin’s capabili-ties, or lack thereof, of be-

ing Vice President. The personal lives of politi-cal figures, in no way, af-fect their ability to perform their duties.

In the case of Bill Clin-ton, perjury was the rea-son for his impeachment. Federal law declares per-jury to be a felony. Clinton lied under oath and, un-fortunately for the Ameri-can people, was nixed for it – unlike his predeces-sor, which we’ll leave to another article. Petrae-us’s situation, however, was quite different. He re-signed amongst contro-versy, but not as a result of an sort of immediate con-

viction. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this situation is the fact that the Federal Bureau of In-vestigation conducted the initial investigation into supposedly harass-ing emails exchanged be-tween Broadwell and an acquaintance of Petraeus, Jill Kelly. Perhaps the prox-imity of Broadwell to Pe-traeus somehow justified this awkward intrusion by the FBI, but I find it diffi-cult to justify the FBI then ceasing a personal email account of Petraeus’s, un-covering a deeper cause for investigation, and then acting upon it, outing Pe-

traeus’s affair.Regardless of my opin-

ion that the FBI should have little business in the affairs of leaders in other intelligence agencies, even if it was “accidentally stumbled upon,” an affair, in no way, affects a lead-er’s capacity to carry out their duties. While I am not condoning adultery, I find it disappointing that the personal lives of officials are brought under the pub-lic eye. They have a right to privacy just like everyone else and I don’t think they should have to relinquish that right in their service to the American people.

Personal affairs should not affect employment status of government officialswilliam rOSegeorge mason unviersity

BORN TODAY This year your in-creased intensity dominates nearly any scene. When you are frustrated, you could become con-trolling or sarcastic. Be careful, as it might cause you to hurt some-one’s feelings. If you are single, those traits will not be especially desirable. The next six months could be instrumental to meet-ing the right person. If you are at-tached, your sweetie expresses a lot of good will. Do not take ad-vantage of this person’s generous nature. Confusion marks your in-teractions with GEMINI.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH A strong, self-disciplined ef-fort brings results. If you do not stay focused, you could lose your sense of direction. You easily could become distracted if you are not careful. You might not be able to accomplish as much as you might like or need to. Tonight: Relax with a friend.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You could be overwhelmed by some-one’s decision, yet you will carry it out if the request comes from a super-visor. You might not see eye-to-eye with this person, but you still under-stand the chain of authority. Confu-sion surrounds a friendship. Tonight: Where friends are.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) H HH H Let others complain if they wish to do so. You could be on overload and feel exhausted. Decide what is appro-priate, and follow through on that. Your understanding allows someone to open up and relax. Sometimes the

less said the better. Tonight: Opt for a good night’s sleep.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You detect a new tone among friends and a key supporter. These individ-uals are sick of the status quo and want to support change. You can take the lead. Rest assured that you know what you want. Stay on top of a per-sonal matter. Tonight: Reach out to someone at a distance.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You understand a lot more about how much pressure a key individual can handle. You could be taken aback by this person’s choices. Your ideas might not make much sense to him or her, so perhaps an explanation or two could help clarify your logic. To-night: Your treat.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Know that it might be very impor-tant to your well-being to seek a dif-ferent perspective. How you relay in-formation to a key person might not make a difference, as his or her mind could be traveling to yonder places. Tonight: Could be a late one.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH A partner could be overwhelming. You might need to help this person become more conscious of his or her verbosity through a positive conver-sation. Revise your thinking. Allow yourself to dig into a project to help ease your mind. Tonight: Let your mind drift to music.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Listen to solutions, and be more forthright about what is happening. A certain individual might need your support more than you realize. You

will find a way to build this person’s self-confidence, even if you cannot support his or her idea. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You might want to do some-thing differently, yet someone in your immediate environment is set in his or her ways. Realize what is happen-ing behind the scenes with a money matter. Be as clear and direct as pos-sible. Tonight: Clear up the confusion surrounding a personal matter.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Tap into your creative side during the day. You will be confident when you decide to act, as you have looked at a situation several differ-ent ways and continue to come to the same conclusion. Resolve any vagueness in a discussion. Tonight: Get some much-needed rest.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Stay firm in your dealings. You under-stand that you will gain if you are per-sistent, especially if it involves a real-estate or domestic matter. Handle your finances confidently in order to secure the success of a business deal. Tonight: Add “fun” to your repertoire.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Remain open and creative in your dealings. You are likely to have sev-eral calls coming in from a relative and/or a close associate. What this person says could be challenging in a sense, and perhaps is the direct result of recent events. Tonight: Let your imagination choose.

Tickets still on sale for Wiz Khalifa

by hunter homisteka&e editor

Tickets are still on sale for tonight’s hip-hop ex-travaganza at the West Vir-ginia University Coliseum.

The event, dubbed the “2050 Tour,” begins at 7:30 p.m. and will feature Tay-lor Gang Records artists Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, Chevy Woods, Lola Monroe, Ber-ner and Tuki Carter.

With such a star-stud-ded lineup on hand, to-night’s performance en-sures listener satisfaction from start to finish.

“We’re nearing the end of the fall semester, and

exam stress is building up,” said David Ryan, WVU Arts & Entertainment public relations specialist. “This concert will be a good chance to blow off some steam and celebrate the

end of the school semes-ter and the coming break.”

For event headliner Wiz Khalifa, tonight’s show marks a return to glory in-side the concrete dome of the Coliseum. Khalifa pre-

viously came to Morgan-town in 2011 alongside hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg and local standout Huey Mack.

Now, Khalifa’s name tops the bill, and concert-goers can expect an enter-taining display of hip-hop excellence from the Pitts-burgh-based artist.

“Wiz has made a name for himself with great lyr-ics and a sound you don’t easily forget,” Ryan said.

Warming up the stage for Khalifa tonight is one half of the decorated rap outfit Three 6 Mafia, Juicy J. For his work with the group, Juicy J won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2006. Now a member of Pittsburgh’s Taylor Gang, Juicy J looks to bring all the energy and rapping proficiency for which he is known to the WVU Coliseum.

“The 2050 Tour prom-ises to be a fantastic event with one of rap’s biggest names and also a return-ing FallFest favorite with Juicy J,” Ryan said.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at the Creative Arts Center and Mountainlair box office lo-cations. They can also be purchased over the phone at 304-293-SHOW.

There will be a $10 dis-count for WVU students who show a valid student I.D.

“Students can come up to the box office to get tick-ets right up through show time,” Ryan said. “Students get a $10 discount off all seating areas with a valid WVU ID.”

With no student ID, tickets range from $29.75-$49.75, a small price to pay for some of hip-hop’s fin-est artists.

With Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J and a spattering of some of Taylor Gang’s top acts on hand, the WVU Coli-seum is set to provide the perfect release before the stress and weight of finals week crashes down upon us and leaves bruises of a black and yellow hue.

KEEP CALM AND TAVON

Consistency has been hard to find during past couple months.

You could argue the Mountaineers have been consistently bad since their impressive road victory against No. 11 Texas Oct. 6.

However, as a whole, inconsistencies both of-fensively and defensively led to the sudden drop in play from West Virginia throughout the past seven weeks.

But you won’t have to look far down the West Vir-ginia numerical roster list to find the guy who’s been consistent since week one in 2012.

In fact, he’s first on the list – Tavon Austin.

The senior inside wide receiver has done it all.

From returning kicks and punts to playing in the slot and even running back, the best player on the West Virginia football team this season hasn’t shown a decrease in performance.

Austin has proven he is the most valuable player to the Mountaineers, and he is also the most versatile.

During the Moun-taineers five-game los-ing streak – their longest since 1986, which included losses to Texas Tech, Kan-sas State, TCU, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma – Aus-tin remained the explosive offensive threat he’s always been while in a West Vir-ginia uniform.

During those afore-mentioned games, Aus-tin recorded 388 receiving yards, 357 rushing yards, 526 kickoff and punt re-turn yards, totaling 1,271 all-purpose yards.

He also tallied seven touchdowns.

So, it was only natural the Baltimore, Md., na-tive would be the catalyst to end West Virginia’s un-expected losing streak on the road against Iowa State

Nick ArthurAssociAte sports editor

For the second time in his career, redshirt junior safety Darwin Cook made a mo-mentum-changing play in the red zone that propelled West Virginia to a victory.

Only this time, 10 months after the Mountaineers’ Or-ange Bowl win, Cook’s ef-forts led the Mountain-eers to bowl eligibility and snapped the team’s longest losing streak since 1986.

With 2:59 remaining in the fourth quarter, Cook popped Iowa State junior running back Jeff Woody inside the five-yard line, knocking the ball loose and into the hands of freshman safety Karl Joseph, and the Mountaineers reclaimed the ball and held on for a 31-24 road victory against Iowa State.

West Virginia defensive coordinator Joe DeFor-est said Cook’s preparation leading up to the game was what put him in position to make the game-changing play.

“(Cook had) been nicked up earlier, and the past two weeks, I thought he came in

and prepared well during the week and had an oppor-tunity to be successful, and it showed tonight; he had a big hit at the end of the game to cause a turnover,” he said.

“I think our defense played really, really well. We gave up two cheap ones in coverage – that can’t happen – but we fought hard.”

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen knew his team would have to work hard for the victory.

“We knew it was going to be a tough game today,” he said. “We set it out for them earlier in the week as far as the rowdiness of this place, the wind chill was going to be a little different than what we’re used to, playing a good football team that doesn’t beat themselves, that we were going to have to earn everything that we got, and we hung in there and made enough plays to win the game.”

Senior quarterback Geno Smith completed 22-of-31 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns in the victory, and no pass was perhaps more important than the 75-yard touch-and-go to senior receiver Tavon Austin, giv-

ing the Mountaineers a lead it would never relinquish.

Smith said West Virginia had a level of unified deter-mination that assured him the Mountaineers would be able to pull out the victory.

“Today, we made enough plays at the end to win it, and (my) hat goes off to Iowa State because they’re a tough team and they played us very hard, but I saw that determination in my offen-sive line’s eyes,” he said.

“I saw it (in) Tavon’s and Stedman’s eyes and the en-tire staff ’s eyes because we wanted to win and we wanted to get off that (slide), and we were determined to get that today.”

Trailing 23-24 with 6:31 remaining in the game, Aus-tin swooped behind the line and gathered Smith’s touch-pass, scampering 75 yards into the Ames nightfall and into the lead.

After the touchdown, the Mountaineers called Aus-tin’s number again – this time on a running play – and the successful two-point conversion pushed the Mountaineers’ edge to 31-24.

Austin eclipsed the re-

cord for most receptions in a single season during the game, besting his effort of 101 from last season; his six catches for 99 yards and a touchdown put his season total at 106.

Redshirt junior Sted-man Bailey gathered seven catches for 82 yards and a score, pushing his season to-tal to an FBS-best 21 touch-down receptions.

Senior running back Shawne Alston was the key for a Mountaineers’ rushing attack that tallied 239 yards in the victory. Alston car-ried 19 times for 130 yards and a touchdown, and it was his three-yard gain on third-and-three with less than two minutes remaining that put the Cyclones’ hopes of a comeback to rest.

Alston’s performance was one Holgorsen had ex-pected, given his strong week of practice leading up to the game.

“I kind of did (expect it); his week leading up to the game was a lot better than it has been. With him back there, he makes us better,” he said.

“He’s got to be healthy in order for that to be the case

… but he’s worked hard in rehab to getting himself back to where he can be pro-ductive and help the team, which he did tonight.”

Senior kicker Tyler Bi-tancurt turned in one of the strongest performances of his career, connecting on 3-of-4 field goal tries in the frigid, windy game conditions.

Bitancurt’s 35-yard field goal in the fourth quarter allowed West Virginia to re-claim the lead it lost to Iowa State in the third quarter – the first time the Mountain-eers trailed in the game.

Iowa State freshman quarterback Sam Richard-son became the Mountain-eers’ first opposing quarter-back since South Florida’s B.J. Daniels (2009) to rush for more than 100 yards in a single game; he finished the contest with 18 carries for 119 yards and completed 13-of-31 passes for 162 yards and three touchdowns.

In the end the Mountain-eers’ defense was the driv-ing factor behind the win that snapped West Virgin-ia’s five-game losing streak.

WVu drops two of three in FloridaBy doug WAlp

sports writer

The West Virginia men’s basketball team lost two of three games to claim fourth place in the 2012 Old Spice Classic in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., during the Thanksgiv-ing holiday break.

The Mountaineers (1-3) fell to Oklahoma (4-1) 77-70 in the consolation game Sunday afternoon at the HP Field House, after drubbing Marist 87-44 in the open-ing round and falling to Da-vidson 63-60 in the semi-finals of the eight-team tournament.

“We can’t continue to blow opportunities,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins after falling to Oklahoma Sunday. “We’ve worked really hard on trying to play a little faster and get some easy baskets. But we haven’t rebounded as well as we need to, and we just have to make some shots.”

Sophomore guard Juwan Staten scored a team-high 15 points for West Virginia against the Sooners while sophomore point guard Gary Brown and junior for-ward Deniz Kilicli each net-ted 13 in the losing effort.

Oklahoma starting ju-nior forward Amath M’Baye scored a game-high 19 points, and freshman guard Je’lon Hornbeak added 14.

West Virginia attempted just one more shot than Oklahoma in the rare non-conference meeting be-tween the two new confer-

ence foes Sunday afternoon but only made 36 percent of its field goals, compared to the Sooners, who shot 47 percent from the field. In fact, Oklahoma made ex-actly 50 percent of their field goal attempts on 17 of 34 shooting in the first half.

“We didn’t do a bad job in the second half defensively,” Huggins said. “But we were awful in the first half. It was awful. That’s inexcusable.”

The Mountaineers actu-ally had a chance to top Da-vidson in the semifinals to advance to the champion-ship game and avenge an ugly loss they suffered in their season opener at the hands of No. 17 Gonzaga, but foul trouble, poor free throw shooting and a sim-ple inability to put the ball in the basket ultimately cost West Virginia against the Wildcats Friday.

West Virginia had actu-ally built an eight point lead with just around three min-utes remaining in the first half, but the Mountain-eers proceeded to miss 15 of their next 16 shots while Davidson used a 17-2 run during that same stretch to push their lead to as much as 11 with just about eight minutes remaining in the game.

The Mountaineers even-tually cut the margin to 61-60 with just 13.6 seconds to go in the game, but two clutch free throws by Nik Cochran pushed the lead back to three, and West Vir-ginia came up empty on its

final possession when Stat-en’s potential game-tying three clanked off the rim as time expired.

Staten netted a team-high 15 in the loss to David-son while Browne chipped in 11 off the bench.

Junior guard Chris Czer-apowicz led the Wildcats with 15 points and nine re-bounds. Forward De’Mon Brooks, another junior,

added 12 for Davidson (3-3), who fell 81-67 to un-beaten Gonzaga (6-0) in the championship game Sun-day night.

In the opening round of the 2012 Old Spice Classic Thanksgiving day, West Vir-ginia had little trouble dis-patching Marist (2-4), as the Mountaineers built a

Friday. He had 99 yards receiv-

ing, 74 yards rushing and 88 returns yards to go along with the go-ahead and eventual game-win-ning 75-yard touchdown reception late in the fourth quarter.

Austin’s numbers speak for themselves, but hon-estly, they don’t even be-gin to express the value he represents to this team.

Through the tough times of a losing streak, Tavon re-mained calm.

He played with the same amount of passion when the Mountaineers con-trolled their own destiny for the National Champi-onship game as when it was unknown if his team would even be invited to a bowl game.

The senior captain led his team by example, both in the huddle and on the

sidelines. When the Mountain-

eers needed a crucial stop late in the game against TCU, Austin was the first guy to meet the defense at the sidelines to provide motivation.

He has proven his worth to be more than all-pur-pose yards, something he’s not too bad at either, considering he ranked first nationally in that category to end the 2011 season.

Tavon Austin is the most explosive and versatile player in college football today. His illustrious four-year career has been chock-full of accomplishments.

But the most impressive aspect of his career may be his ability to continue to play at a high level when his teammates faltered.

The popular propaganda poster produced during World War II in the United Kingdom with the phrase “Keep Calm and Carry On,” had the intentions of rais-ing morale of citizens dur-ing tough times.

I’ll leave you with a phrase in hopes of raising morale in a similar fash-ion during one of the most disappointing seasons in Morgantown in the last decade – Keep Calm and Tavon.

51-19 advantage by the end of the first period by making 56 percent of their shot at-tempts in the first half.

West Virginia ex-ploited a balanced offen-sive attack, and five play-ers reached double figures for the afternoon. Fresh-man guards Eron Harris and Terry Henderson led the way off the bench for the Mountaineers while netting 15 and 14 points, respectively.

Sophomore guard Jabarie Hinds was the only starter to reach double figures with 11 while junior cen-ter Aaric Murray and senior guard Matt Humphrey each pitched in 10 points off the bench.

Staten proved to be the

Mountaineers’ best scorer throughout the three Old Spice Classic games, as he tallied 36 points, with 13 of 28 shooting. Browne added 30, and Kilicli pitched in 29 points throughout the three contests.

As a team, West Virginia shot just below 44 percent for the tournament and outscored its three oppo-nents 217-184, but in the end, the team just couldn’t take advantage of chances to pick up wins and keep advancing.

“It’s not like it’s an iso-lated situation,” Huggins said. “We just keep doing the same things. You can score 2 on 1 in Bitty Basketball, and we didn’t three times.”

“We must not have worked enough. We just have to do a better job of tak-ing care of opportunities.”

No. 12 WVu falls to lSu and iowa By SheA uliSNey

sports writer

It was a tough weekend for the No. 12 West Virginia women’s basketball team, which finished 0-2 in the FIU Thanksgiving Classic and fell to LSU Friday 71-63 and Iowa 79-70 Sunday, in Miami, Fla.

Friday’s opener against LSU was a back-and-forth game with 10 lead changes. After a layup from West Virginia’s Jennie Simms, the Mountaineers tied the game at 59-59 with 3:35 left.

The Tigers took the lead off a jumper from the top of the key and continued to lead 62-61 with 2:41 left on the clock. The Moun-taineers were held without a field goal to the buzzer, while LSU racked up nine points for the 71-63 victory.

The Mountaineers turned the ball over a sea-son-high 28 times, and the Tigers were able to gain 16 points off turnovers. West Virginia forced 23 turn-overs, and converted those into 20 points.

Sunday’s game against Iowa was a physical match with 58 fouls called. The Hawkeyes played a strong second half to overcome the Mountaineers, 79-70.

Twenty seven of Io-wa’s 54 second-half points came off free throws. Se-niors Jaime Printy and Morgan Johnson put up 19 points each, leading Iowa in scoring.

The Mountaineers led 32-25 at halftime, but Iowa came into the second half shooting 59.1 percent from the field. West Virginia led by nine, 52-43, with 10:43 remaining, but Iowa was able to come back using 22 free throws.

Leading the Mountain-

eers in scoring and re-bounds was junior guard Taylor Palmer, who racked up 23 points and nine re-bounds. Palmer added in a season-high five 3-point-ers, two assists and grabbed a steal.

Junior guard Christal Caldwell recorded 17 points, including West Vir-ginia’s only other three and converted all six free throw attempts.

Sophomore guard Linda Stepney gave the Moun-taineers seven points, three assists and two steals. Sophomore forward Crys-tal Leary scored eight points. Leary had five re-bounds and two steals in 20 minutes. Sophomore for-ward Fields established a career-best eight rebounds.

WVU out-rebounded Iowa 41-39. The Mountain-eers limited their turnovers

to 15 while forcing 23 out of Iowa, including 10 steals.

Palmer averaged 19.0 points and 4.5 rebounds per game against LSU and Iowa and was named to the FIU Thanksgiving Classic All-Tournament team.

The Mountaineers will enter their third road game of a four-game stretch Sun-day at 2 p.m. at Virginia.
