Libyan students honor slain diplomats By Carlee lammers
City Editor
Members of the West Virginia University Libyan Student Association came together Thursday to com-memorate the life of Chris-topher Stevens.
Stevens was a U.S. am-bassador working at the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya. Protestors attacked the em-bassy Tuesday, resulting in
Stevens’ death, as well as the deaths of three other Americans.
The Libyan Student Asso-ciation held a vigil to honor the victims’ lives and to show its support for their families.
“Mr. Stevens was highly respected among Libyans. We considered him a friend to the Libyans,” said Abdul Al Roafe Lamoshi, president of the Libyan Student Asso-ciation. “This was a sad oc-
currence, and we send our condolences and sympathy with their loved ones and the American people.”
Lamoshi quoted Chap-ter 5:32 in the Quran, which reads: “He who slays a soul, unless it be (in punishment) for murder or for spreading mischief on earth shall be as if he had slain all mankind.”
“We strongly believe any killing of any people is wrong,” he said.
The association pre-
sented a poster to express its condolences and con-demnation for such acts of violence.
Imam of the Morgan-town Muslim Center Sohail Chaudhry said he came to the vigil on behalf of the en-tire Morgantown Muslim community to celebrate the lives of the victims.
“We believe this act of vi-olence is wrong. Any human life is a gift of God – it has a value,” he said. “This is re-
gardless of religion and re-gardless of where they come from.”
Chaudhry said he wanted to show the community the acts of violence “are not Islam.”
“We came here to say this is not Islam. Islam is not these acts of violence,” he said. “Islam is peace, re-spect, justice, value for hu-man life and standing up for one another.”
Suzann Palmour said she
attended the vigil to show her support, and to stand up to say Muslims are against the acts of violence toward the Americans.
“Whenever something tragic like this happens, people are always asking ‘where are the Muslims to come out and say this is wrong?’” she said. “It’s im-portant for us to come out and stand up and say that this is wrong.”
Film series celebrates
world heritageBy ashley tennant

In honor of National His-panic Heritage Month, the The West Virginia Univer-sity’s Office of Multicul-tural Programs and the Of-fice of Student Life hosted an event that gave students an intimate look into South American history.
The second in a series of Brown Bag Luncheons was held Thursday in the Gluck Theatre of the Mountainlair, and it was free and open to the public. Food was pro-vided at the event.
The event included a screening of the award-winning film ‘Even in the Rain,’ a 2010 Spanish drama about a Mexican movie di-rector and his producer ar-riving in Bolivia to shoot a film about Columbus’ ex-ploration of the New World.
However, after filming most of the movie, Bolivia becomes embroiled in con-flict due to the government increasing the cost of water by 300 percent.
The film portrays people driven by their beliefs and culture, as well as the im-portance of understand-ing humanity, regardless of age, race, sex and religion.
WVU student Michael
Nienmann spoke at the event about his experience in Cochabamba, Bolivia while studying abroad.
“I was very impressed with the movie,” he said. “It was actually filmed in Cochabamba, and histor-ically, it seemed relatively accurate.”
James Johnson, direc-tor of Multicultural and Diversity Affairs, saidthey initiated the Brown Bag Luncheon series as a way for students to become more exposed to world cultures.
“The program was first started for students out-side the country to come and share their experi-ences, their heritages and their culture,” he said. “We try to get people to better understand each other – to learn from each other and just communicate.”
Johnson said he believes these experiences are ben-eficial to students.
“I think it’s important to step outside your comfort zone; the good stuff is out-side your comfort zone,” he said.
He also said like this can help students gain a
Political science blog debunks election myths
By shelBy toompasstaff writEr
The Department of Po-litical Science and other social scientists at West Virginia University have teamed up to unveil the facts about politics voters didn’t see during the Na-tional Conventions.
The department devel-oped a blog to service the community on its research and showcase informa-tion not seen on TV.
Scott Crichlow, Chair of WVU’s Political Science Department, said the blog is a place to have politi-cal questions answered and find other announce-ments related to depart-ment activities and events.
“It was simply one form of social media that we weren’t using, so we thought we might add it to the list,” Crichlow said.
“I like the fact that it’s in-teractive, and we are able to post more detailed thoughts and news there than on other outlets.”
Crichlow said the WVU Political Science Depart-ment hopes individuals will use the blog to better understand what political scientists study, how they approach grappling with political issues and how to invent outlets to pro-vide empirically valid an-swers to questions.
Crichlow said the blog is aimed primarily at those in the WVU community. He said he hopes students, alumni, staff and members of the community well visit the blog and learn from it.
“Hopefully, it will cut through a lot of the hype and hot air in certain po-litical debates and point
SGA internship allows for opportunity By laCey palmer
staff writEr
The West Virginia Univer-sity Student Government Association Internship Pro-gram is accepting applica-tions for the 2012-13 school year.
Governor Bridget Boyd, current head of the Intern-ship Program, said she en-courages all students inter-ested in being a part of SGA or to get involved closely with West Virginia Univer-sity to apply.
“A misconception of the
word ‘intern’ is someone who does busy work for someone – someone who makes copies or gets coffee, but an SGA intern is some-thing completely different,” Boyd said.
Each intern is paired with a member of the Board of Governors or of the Exec-utive Branch, based on the applicant’s interests.
Interns will work closely with that individual and their projects throughout the year to give them an in-depth look into the SGA and how it operates.
The application for the program asks applicants on their interests – which proj-ects and platforms they’d be interested in working with, their future ambitions and what they hope to accom-plish as an intern.
“Last year, we did sort of an intern speed dating be-fore an SGA meeting, where all of the interns and gover-nors came and spoke with one another about their pro-grams and goals,” Boyd said. “It was a really good way for the interns and governors to figure out who they wanted
to work with.”Boyd’s goal for the intern-
ship program is for each governor and executive to be paired with an intern.
Many governors and ex-ecutives began SGA through the internship program, and believe it’s something freshmen and all others in-terested in getting involved should consider.
SGA Director of Stu-dent Organizations Farah Famouri served as an intern last year under

worldwide perspective.“We are spoiled as Amer-
icans, as much as people don’t want to admit it. Like how in the movie they were fighting over water – well, we take that for granted here,” he said. “There’s so much that we take for granted, but we need each other more than we realize.”
Nienmann wholeheart-edly agreed.
“The Brown Bag Lun-cheon is a great program, because most foreign films are difficult to come by oth-erwise, and they often have great cinematography, his-tory significance and expose us to issues we may not have been aware of,” Nienmann said.

people toward ways of an-alyzing things for them-selves in a systematic way,” he said.
The first post on the blog says since political science is defined as the study of how people and organiza-tions translate their priori-ties and values into political action and outcomes, what they study can have an im-pact on the day-to-day lives of many individuals.
Other posts include “Hauser’s look at Obama’s ‘Pivot’ to Asia-Pacific: What Will China Do, A Political Economy Analysis” and
other posts on the cam-paign trail thus far from Crichlow.
The blog also offers the chance for individuals to ask questions and leave comments, so conversa-tions can be started on issues.
“Because this blog is brand new, we can’t really evaluate it yet, but we hope to get a lot of response from the public,” Crichlow said.

Governor Isabelle Shepherd.“Isabelle and I had classes
together, and I knew she was involved in SGA, so I reached out to her on how to get involved,” Famouri said. “I knew I wanted to give back to WVU and really make a change, and SGA is a brilliant way of doing that.”
Famouri said the intern-ship program provided her with the opportunity to learn more about the University and better understand how SGA operates.
“I would definitely rec-ommend this program to in-terested students, because it is the best way of getting a feel for SGA before becom-ing involved fully,” Famouri said. “You get a feel of the organization and what goes on while still being very involved.”
While freshman students are encouraged to apply, Boyd said the program is open to any student at WVU, and she encourages all stu-dents to apply.
“It’s ideally geared toward
freshmen, because upper-classmen are encouraged to apply for executive posi-tions, but we will take any-one,” Boyd said. “Last year, we had quite a few upper-classmen as interns, so ba-sically anyone who is new to the organization is what the internship program is for.”
Boyd said she believes the internship program pro-vides a good foundation for students and allows them to make their mark in an active University organization.
“I think that anybody who is involved in any organiza-tion early on gets more out of their college career,” Boyd said. “Obviously, SGA is a very active organization, and I think being active in some-thing your freshman year gets you more incentive to become more involved and make a difference in the Uni-versity – and that’s what we do as SGA members.”
Applications are avail-able online at www.sga.wvu.edu/documents, and are due Wednesday in the SGA office located in the Student Organization Wing of the Mountainlair.

For thousands of years hu-mor has been an important facet of human culture, from Aristophanes’ ancient Greek comedies to Charlie Chaplin’s silent films.
But what actually makes a joke funny?
West Virginia Universi-ty’s 35th Colloquium on Lit-erature and Film will be ex-ploring the nature of humor through three days of panel discussions, presentations and keynote speakers. The event is free to the public and will continue Thursday through Saturday.
“Humor is an engaging topic that has an important place in the humanities, as well as in everyday life,” said Deborah Janson, director of this year’s colloquium. “When we come about something funny, we laugh, but what makes us laugh?”
To solve this question, Janson invited profession-als from around the world to speak at the event. Ross McElwee, documentary filmmaker and professor of the practice of filmmaking at Harvard University; Anne Harris, director of talent at
Comedy Central and Jay Ma-larcher, theatre professor and humor scholar at WVU, are featured speakers.
Throughout his years film-ing documentaries, McElwee has been able to find humor in every situation.
“Looking back over the films I have made during my thirty-four years as a docu-mentarian, I see a fairly broad range of interests and issues: racial inequality in the South, the Cold War, nuclear weap-ons proliferation, the corro-sive effect of sensationalism in broadcast news, big to-bacco – serious matters all,” he said. “But in all of them I manage to find some humor – usually at my own expense – to lighten the load.”
While humor is part of his style, McElwee said his tech-nique comes with challenges.
“It’s a delicate load to bal-ance. I will offer up a per-sonal filmmaking journey over what is sometimes very rough terrain, dodging some deep potholes en route to dis-covering patches paved with humor.”
Robert D. Taylor, associate dean of Arizona State Univer-sity, believes McElwee’s ap-proach is only natural.
“As human beings, we can’t
live without making fun of something,” he said.
Taylor believes humor is an important social mechanism – one that can provide solace.
“Even in the most tragic of times, in prisons or in the con-centration camps of World War II, there has always been humor,” he said. “I don’t think we can live without humor in our lives.”
Taylor will be presenting his paper, “Albert Ross and the Thirteenth Dean: a Paper Presentation on Humor in Academe-Based Fiction” on Saturday.
This year’s colloquium features many guests from around the world, and many will be presenting papers or films in different languages. In this way, Janson thinks the conference will bridge cul-tural gaps.
“Since everyone enjoys laughing, writers and film makers often capitalize on humor’s entertainment value in order to express their views on many different cultural is-sues,” she said.

As the weekend ap-proaches, the West Virginia women’s soccer team will enter its final two games of nonconference play be-fore kicking off the inau-gural season in the Big 12 Conference.
“We are just trying to con-trol the things we can con-trol,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “Technically, we are trying to control those things, and then we are trying to eliminate men-tal errors.
“(We are) continuing to make sure the mistakes that we make won’t happen again.”
West Virginia will be at home for its final week-end of nonconference play, first on Friday when it hosts Towson at 7 p.m., and then Sunday at 1 p.m. when High Point travels to Morgantown for the second consecutive year. High Point lost 1-0 to the Mountaineers in 2011.
Both teams come into the weekend struggling. Tow-son has yet to win a game, sitting at 0-5 on the season,
while High Point posts a re-cord of 1-3-3. Both schools are struggling, but Izzo-Brown believes there is a great amount to learn play-ing against teams at the non-BCS level, especially after one of the toughest nonconference schedules in the country.
“I think we like to (play) a variety of different types of programs,” Izzo-Brown said. “I think each one will repre-sent different things and dif-ferent problems.”
While Izzo-Brown con-centrates on entire teams when playing schools like Penn State and Stanford, she has to change her game plan when facing smaller schools.
“Every non-BCS school will present their problems,” Izzo-Brown said. “They have kids that develop through-out the program and have talent. They rely a little bit
more individually on some of their talented players.”
One Mountaineer Izzo-Brown hopes to light a spark under this weekend, espe-cially with Big 12 play inch-ing closer, is junior Frances
Silva. Silva, who has only regis-
tered one goal so far, at the forward position, is some-one Izzo-Brown and the

Saturday’s matchup between West Virginia and James Madison is only the second time the two teams have met. A closer look at the statistics shows the two teams from neighboring states have one thing in common – a strong of-fensive attack.
Redshirt freshman linebacker Isaiah Bruce sees a lot of chal-lenges in the Dukes’ offensive personnel.
“They are a good team. They have athletes and playmakers. They are just as capable of win-ning as any other team. You can’t underestimate your opponents, because they can beat anybody,” he said.
“(They have) a lot of speed. Their quarterback is good. Their running back is good. They like to go to their tight end a lot. If we lock down those certain peo-ple, then we are going to have a pretty good chance of winning the game.”
The Dukes are averaging 511.5 yards of offense per game – No. 8 among FCS teams. James Madi-son (2-0) is averaging 304 yards on the ground and more than 48
points per game.Junior running back Dae’Quan
Scott, who rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns in the Dukes’ 42-3 win over Alcorn State last week, is in questionable con-dition after suffering an ankle in-jury in the win.
Redshirt senior quarterback Justin Thorpe has compiled a 13-5 record as a starter and has played well as of late. This sea-son, Thorpe has completed 29 of 45 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns.
Redshirt junior defensive line-man Will Clarke sees Thorpe and James Madison as a talented duo, and he said the Mountaineers will need to play hard the entire game.
“They have a very skilled of-fense. Their quarterback is a very skilled runner and passer (and) their offensive line is good. They have athletes – it’s going to be a good task for us,” he said.
“We need to work on playing with intensity the whole game. Even if you look up at the score-board and see your team is up by a certain amount of points, you still have to play hard; we can’t let up.”
The game is set for a 4:30 p.m.
kickoff at FedEx Field – home to the Washington Redskins – in Landover, Md. Playing near Washington D.C. is something that head coach Dana Holgorsen sees as a bonus.
“It is important to us to have a presence over (in the Washing-ton, D.C. area). It is important too, recruiting-wise,” he said.
“It is important to the 20 or so kids from that area. Oliver (Luck) and (WVU president James P.) Clements have looked at it as im-portant; we have switched con-ferences and will be playing a lot of games in the Southwest and Midwest, so this is important for us.”
Holgorsen said the game with James Madison is a great oppor-tunity for West Virginia to im-prove on the technique it has been practicing during the past two weeks.
“It is going to be a challenge for us coaches, and it is going to be a challenge for the players. We would like to get better on all three sides of the ball, and this game will give us a chance to do that against a good, quality foot-ball team,” he said.

Whether you love him or hate him, one thing you can’t criticize Ron Paul for is his history of backing up his message with a consis-tent voting record on the issues he believes are cen-tral to the country.
Before you make the as-sumption that this is an-other column seeking to persuade you Ron Paul should be President , think again.
While I strongly agree with some of Paul’s eco-nomic stances, I am by no means in the Ron Paul camp. Nevertheless, Con-gressman Paul has exhib-ited a type of ethical char-acter that is absent from both sides of the aisle in Washington. It’s because of this, among other rea-sons, that I have a huge amount of admiration for the congressman.
Ron Paul is one of the few politicians who backs his words with actions.
Too often from Wash-ington, Americans hear hollow platitudes about how they are going to change this or do that. Sadly, though, when push comes to shove, it goes right back to the partisan gridlock on the most im-portant issues.
Self-interest and win-ning elections have seem-ingly become more im-portant than fulfilling our government’s original in-
tent: Serving the Ameri-can people.
Both parties have a strong tendency to reward elected officials who toe the party line with cau-cus leadership positions and punish those who go against the grain with po-litical exile.
Thes e par ty-favor-ing tactics have never stopped Ron Paul from voting against his party when they take a stance he doesn’t believe in. A perfect example is when he was one of only a few Republicans to boldly vote against the war in Iraq.
Whether he gets called the “crazy uncle in the at-tic” or the “libertarian loon,” Congressman Paul has proven time and again that he will not sacrifice his beliefs for political or personal gain.
Had Ron Paul critiqued some of his less popular political stances, he could have at the very least be-come a much bigger fac-tor in the Republican pri-mary, maybe even beyond that. Would it have really been that big a deal, con-sidering the amount of flip-flopping that occurs in Washington? Did the crit-icism of his strict adher-ence to the Constitution ever once faze Ron Paul? Not one bit. The current Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has flip-flopped on several issues he once took an op-posite stance on. It’s pretty safe to guess this was at
least partially due to polit-ical pressure from the Re-publican Party to appeal to more of the voting base. The other side is also by no means immune from the same type of political flip-flopping. To a varying degree, President Obama has done the same.
Ron Paul’s stances may not necessarily be the solution to many of the
questions facing Ameri-ca’s future.
What would be an an-swer to many of these questions, though, is men and women who share his unshakable devotion to the American people.
Don’t get me wrong. There’s a time and a place to take a stand on the par-ticular issues you find im-portant. We need intense
debate when we don’t agree with the other party or our own. What we don’t need, however, is the dys-functional kind of blame game that infects all parts of Washington.
It’s been shown time and again when the par-ties find a way to come to-gether in the interests of the people that things do get accomplished. With
the absence of leadership in Washington on both sides of the aisle, Ameri-cans are stuck with a dys-functional government.
This is the underly-ing reason Congress, now more than ever, needs the unwavering moral ethic of Paul to battle some of the biggest challenges our country has faced in gen-erations – maybe ever.

The politics of desperationAs we marked the 11th
anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks Tuesday, another tragedy was brewing in the Middle East.
Thousands of angry pro-testers gathered outside U.S. embassies in Egypt and Libya to denounce a ridic-ulous anti-Islam YouTube video, which depicted the prophet Muhammad in an overtly offensive manner.
Today, it was uncovered the video was created by a group of far-right extrem-ists in the U.S. intentionally seeking to provoke a vio-lent, destabilizing reaction in the Middle East. Their extremist counterparts in Egypt and Libya took the bait, and amid the result-
ing chaos, four Americans, including U.S. Ambassa-dor to Libya Chris Stevens, were killed.
Yesterday, Libyans across the globe, from Morgantown to Tripoli, mourned the loss of Ste-vens, a passionate diplo-mat who worked tirelessly to help Libyans end Moam-mar Gadhafi’s suffocating dictatorship.
In the U.S., Stevens was remembered by his col-leagues and loved ones as a courageous man who gave his life fighting for a cause he truly believed in. Unfor-tunately, Stevens’ legacy, defined by his commit-ment to building bridges between the U.S. and the
Arab world, was not the fo-cus of yesterday’s media coverage. Instead, it was Mitt Romney’s despicable attempts at scoring cheap political points from this tragedy that dominated the news cycle.
Tuesday night, Romney accused the Obama admin-istration of apologizing for American values and sym-pathizing “with those who waged the attacks” on our embassies. Romney was re-ferring to a series of tweets sent out by a public infor-mation officer at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.
Setting aside the fact that these tweets were posted by a single individual and were not in any way en-
dorsed by senior adminis-tration officials, if one ex-amines them, they hardly suggest the writer was apol-ogetic or sympathetic to-ward the fanatics protest-ing at the embassy.
The tweets simply iter-ated that as Americans, we reject attempts to incite hatred against all religious groups while simultane-ously acknowledging that even hate speech is pro-tected speech.
That Romney would seek to misrepresent this state-ment as evidence Obama and his administration, presumably including Am-bassador Stevens and the other victims of these at-tacks, sympathize with the
rabid mob trying to kill them, is disgraceful.
This preposterous, sloppy attempt at a politi-cal hack job reeks of des-peration. A quick look at the polls, and it’s easy to see why the Romney camp felt it had to resort to such a sleazy attack.
If anything, this tragedy should have served as a les-son on the importance of tolerating beliefs we don’t agree with and the dangers of religious and political extremism (both domesti-cally and abroad). Instead, it has morphed into a live demonstration of how to fumble a legitimate presi-dential bid.

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 20125 | CAMPUS CALENDAR
BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year you have a great deal of power behind your words. The New Moon is close to your birthday, which allows you to mani-fest your desires. You need to under-stand what you want to create in or-der to use this lunar power to the max. If you are single, you do not need to worry -- you will have many suitors. Your knee-jerk response will be the one you choose to listen to. If you are attached, the two of you relate well as always, though you might be accused of being too me-oriented. That criti-cism probably isn’t too far off. Remem-ber, a relationship is about two people.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Early-morning communication could be excessive, and you might be over-whelmed as a result. You -- a person who usually is so directed -- have diffi-culty knowing which way to turn. You might need to revamp your plans. To-night: Flex once more.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Tap into your creativity, and gain more insight into what might be possible. You often have to dream or conjure up an idea in order to make it work. Don’t restrict your mental meander-ings, though you might choose not to share them. Tonight: Get into week-end mode.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You might want to stay close to home and not have a reason. Trust your intuitive sense, and you will be on top of a sit-uation. Confusion surrounds many of your key interests or projects. A part-ner can help you reduce them. To-
night: At home.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You could be seeing a personal situa-tion a lot differently, given time and a sense of direction. A partner or asso-ciate might want to revamp plans, as he or she could be unsure of him- or herself. Let this person put some struc-ture into the here-and-now. Tonight: You need a leisurely dinner.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Be aware of your expenses, as you eas-ily could make a mistake counting change. Extravagance might seem es-sential, but be careful as to what this might be doing to your budget. Stay mellow with a controlling situation; do not allow it to get to you. Tonight: Your treat.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You might change your plans, as you feel inspired and more energized than you have in a long time. Others could seem helpless and unable to con-vey what is going on in their minds. You change the way people think in a discussion, but they impact your thoughts as well. Tonight: Whatever feels good.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HH You might want to play a situation low-key and handle it more directly. Your sense of humor plays a significant role when dealing with a perpetually changing matter. Your instincts guide you even more than usual. Tonight: Choose something for yourself.
SCORPIO (OC T. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You have a unique style and way of communicating. Unbe-known to others, you have a certain idea or sense of how a situation could
unravel. Do not be surprised if there is a mishap out of the blue. Be willing to make adjustments. Tonight: Hang out.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Your ability to step right in will be tested, and, with the amount of mixed messages that surround you, you might not be sure which way to turn. Extremes mark others’ behavior. Do not get involved with risky money matters. Tonight: A must appearance.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You know what needs to happen. You might attempt to open up your thinking, as well as others’. Sometimes a vision might be too dif-ficult to explain, which forces you to take the lead even if you might be un-comfortable with it. Tonight: Go where there is music.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH If a partner wants to assume the lead, make it OK. You could feel as if you do not have the control you want. Listen to news more openly. You could be changing certain judgments without realizing it. Please note the different reactions you get as a result. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might feel out of sorts when try-ing to make a decision that has many variables. Be aware of a friendship that is changing. Learn to grow with this person, and listen to him or her more often. Dismiss former judgments. To-night: Follow a suggestion.

Mountaineers ready to face Cleveland State, Murray State
by auStin Seidelsports writer
After a poor performance against Robert Morris in Moon Township, Pa., Tues-day, the West Virginia volley-ball team will return home for action Sept. 15-16 to face off against Cleveland State and Murray State.
The CSU Vikings will travel to Morgantown with hopes of preying upon a Mountain-eer team with something to prove after their five-set mar-athon match against Robert Morris.
WVU will most likely have its eyes set on Arielle Allen, who emerged against RMU to the beat of a 19-kill perfor-mance and quite the array of defensive moves.
“I just really wanted to be back with the team after sit-ting out,” Allen said. “I think after that match we all just want to head back to the gym and work on stuff and get back out there this weekend.”
While the Mountaineers may want to put the tough loss behind them, Cleveland State will not be in a gracious mood Saturday as they enter with a 7-4 record and a team that statistically matches or betters WVU’s.
One of WVU’s key play-ers from the beginning of the season, Hannah Sack-ett, has trailed off and strug-gled lately for the Mountain-eers and will have something to prove for herself this weekend.
“I’ve got a lot of work to do,” Sackett said. “I started off the year great, but I don’t know. I guess I just have to shake off whatever this is and just suck it up and get back to playing.”
Sackett will carry a tar-get in this weekend’s pair of games and will most likely bear the burden of the 195 kills that the Vikings Kara Koch brings with her. Koch will also team up with CSU’s own Annie Djukic, who has been the source of Cleve-land’s assists at this point in the season.
Freshman setter Brittany Sample of the Mountaineers will get to see firsthand how her game stacks up against an even-keeled player and could be scrutinized if she fails to deliver this weekend after coming up short on sev-eral passes.
“We have a lot to work on this week,” said West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer. “It’s as simple as that. We fought hard. We lost.
“There isn’t much else I can say. At least I can say they fought from down 2-0 and made it a close game.”
Murray State enters this weekend’s match with only seven games under its belt this season. The Racers are led by Kristen Besselsen on
the attack with 66 kills.Ultimately, the Mountain-
eers plan to come out strong against Cleveland State and continue the barrage against Murray State and climb their way to a comfortable two games above .500 on the season.
If they are to succeed, they will need to cut back on error totals and make a return to the style of play seen in last weekend’s Golden Horse-shoe Challenge, which still stands as their best collective performance this season.
WVU is scheduled to play Cleveland State at in the WVU Coliseum at 5 p.m. Saturday.

Starke finding success at JMu after transferring from WVu
by Cody SChulermanaging editor
It was the first round of the 2011-12 FCS playoffs, and James Madison was locked in a tie game with Eastern Kentucky – each team fighting to extend its season by another week.
Cameron Starke, the Dukes’ kicker, had already kicked a game-winning field goal earlier in the season. The pressure of the moment wasn’t new to him – in fact, it was some-thing he embraced.
“I already had a game-winner the third game of the season, so I knew heading into that kick that I’d been there before, and I knew I could get the job done, so I had no doubt in myself,” he said.
“When I go into these big-time games and it comes down to big-time kicks, I don’t have any doubt in myself. (I) just go out there and do what I’m supposed to do and remain humble and just be glad that I got the opportunity.”
Starke, now a redshirt junior, would send his 35-yard try sailing through the uprights and extend James Madison’s season one more week before it lost to eventual FCS champion North Dakota State.
A West Virginia transfer, Starke elected to return to his home state of Virginia after spending one year in Morgantown. For him, the move was an oppor-tunity to get back to what he loved doing – playing football.
“Moving down, I didn’t have to sit out, so right away I got a chance, hop right in and compete again to play,” he said.
The Halifax, Va., na-tive connected on 15-of-19 field goal tries last year and went 32-for-33 on ex-
tra point attempts. Starke said that the one thing he learned at West Virginia that has helped him suc-ceed at James Madison is not a physical skill, but a mental one.
“Probably the biggest lesson I learned at West Virginia was you have to be mentally tough at all times when it comes to football,” he said. “You can’t really let your guard down (and) you can’t re-ally feel sorry for yourself, because nobody is going to hold your hand through-out the process.
“You have to be a man, you have to bite the bullet, and you have to work hard and just do the best that you can do.”
Starke was a second-team all-state selection as a punter and an honorable mention all-state kicker as a senior at Halifax County High School. Starke’s mi-gration to Morgantown was the result of the late head coach Bill Stewart, who left a lasting impres-sion on him.
“(Stewart) was actually the recruiting coach for our area, and so he came and there was a linebacker the year ahead of me in high school that was getting re-cruited by every Division 1 school on the East Coast,” he said. “And my coach at the time said, ‘Well hey, we’ve got a pretty good kicker, you should check him out,’ and they sent him some tape.
“(Stewart) kept in con-tact with my coach about me, and then after the Fi-esta Bowl when he was promoted to head coach, my coach called and told me, ‘This is really big for us, you’ve got a really good shot at going to West Virginia.’
When Starke heard of his passing, his somber re-
action was in-line with ev-eryone else who had come in contact with Stewart.
“I know he really loved Mountaineer Nation, and he always talked about ‘Mountaineer Pride,’ ‘from the heart’ and ‘the old gold and blue,’ and I know he really loved that area and people do mourn for him,” he said.
“He was just a good guy at heart and it was very saddening.”
When James Madison upset Virginia Tech in the second week of the sea-son two years ago, Starke handled the Dukes’ kickoff duties. He said that though James Madison was able to catch the Hokies by sur-prise, the same can’t be said for West Virginia.
“We’ve talked about how everyone is going to doubt us and we’re just go-ing to try our best to show the world that we can com-pete,” he said. “We knew that since we upset Vir-ginia Tech that West Vir-ginia is probably not going to overlook us.”
Heading into the game against his former team, Starke said there is no fear of the Mountaineers, but instead, a great oppor-tunity to have fun and, if things go well, a shot to shock the college football world once again.
“I never get afraid, but the thing that I probably fear the most is not doing the best I can and letting people down,” Starke said. “Really, I’m just looking forward to having a good time and having the op-portunity to play against my old teammates.
“Obviously we want to bring down another giant, but we just want to have fun and compete against a really great team.”

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Friday September 14, 20128 | SPORTS
Mountaineers planned to lean on offensively this sea-son. Izzo-Brown said she hopes Silva can get it to-gether this weekend and start putting balls in the back of the net.
“(Silva) has to focus on getting better,” she said. “She is making mistakes; she just has to get through them and figure out a way through hard work. She is definitely missing chances that she and I both know she can finish.”
Izzo-Brown will need Silva to start to be a scoring threat on offense in confer-ence play, especially with the way the past four games have gone. West Virginia has played four straight overtime games, losing one and coming to a tie in the other three. In those four games, the Mountaineers have averaged a mere goal per game.
Obviously the results
are not what Izzo-Brown is looking for, but there cer-tainly were good aspects of those games.
“When you’re in over-time, of course you are go-ing to be a pretty fit team. When you’re in overtime of course it is going to be a gut check,” Izzo-Brown said. “It’s an opportunity for us to see what we can do in over-time and what we can’t do in overtime.”
At this point in the sea-son, the Mountaineers sit at 2-3-3. They have two final dress rehearsals be-fore the real season starts. Izzo-Brown knows there is work to do, but as Big 12 play approaches, the head coach is eager for it to kick off.
“Going into Big 12 play, we are excited,” she said. “For me, I just don’t know what to expect, so I want to have as much preparation as possible, but at the end of the day I’m looking for-ward to get into it and get-ting after it.”

The No. 21 West Virginia men’s soccer team will face American University in the second game of its four-game home stretch Satur-day night.
WVU is 3-2-1 on the sea-son following a 4-2 win against Oakland Sunday. American is 3-2-0 follow-ing wins against St. Francis, Howard and Cal State Ful-lerton. The two losses came against Cal State North-ridge and George Mason.
Leading American is ju-nior forward Colin Sei-gfried and senior forward Alassane Kane.
Kane has four goals and one assist for nine points. Seigfried has been just as productive with two goals and three assists on the season so far. He has a to-tal of seven points.
The Eagles have shown they can score goals when they beat Howard 7-0 ear-lier on in the season. In the game, American outshot Howard 18-3. It was the largest margin of victory for the Eagles since 1992.
A focus on the American game will be how WVU re-sponds to scoring oppor-tunities. It had a tough drought against quality teams on the road earlier in the season, but scoring four against Oakland was a promising sign for things to come.
For junior midfielder Craig Stephens, the impor-tance of finishing chances will be key against Ameri-can Saturday night.
“It ’s been impor-tant in the grand scheme of things,” he said. “We haven’t scored for three games (prior to Oakland) so it was good to end the drought. Getting four was huge. We want to score more against American.”
As the second game of the four-game home stand, West Virginia will use the impact of Dick Dlesk Sta-dium to try to get a 4-2-1 record on the season. Go-ing into American, the Mountaineers remain un-defeated after strong offen-sive showings.
“It’s an advantage of be-ing at home,” Stephens said. “We get a lot of fans and support at home. To play teams at home – it’s obviously a big impact. It’s harder for opponents to play on our field and against our fans. It’s almost intimidating.”
West Virginia makes it just that on its home turf. The Mountaineers have outshot every opponent at home thus far.
Earlier in the week, sophomore forward Andy Bevin was recognized as the College Sports Madness MAC Player of the Week af-ter his goal against Oak-land to give the Mountain-eers a 1-0 advantage. Bevin ended a 333-minute scor-ing drought for WVU.
The Mountaineers hope to achieve more of the same against American Saturday. The action gets underway at 7 p.m. from Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

The Farmers’ Market to return Saturdayby eMily MeadowS
a&e writer
After months of construc-tion and dedicated devel-opment, the Morgantown Market Place will host its opening Saturday morning.
The Farmers’ Market has found a permanent home on the corner on Spruce and Fayette Street, and will finally hold its inauguration from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.
“Since this is a perma-nent location, visitors com-ing to town that are not typically around Saturday mornings will now have the chance to see what they may be missing out on,” said market manager Lisa Lagana.
The newly designed covered pavilion boasts a weatherproof shelter, which creates a more resil-ient atmosphere for rainy and unpleasant weather conditions.
The market brings to-gether more than 30 ven-dors who sell fresh pro-duce, meats, eggs and more to create a fresh and local offering.
“There’s a lot of variety that people miss out on if they only shop at grocery stores,” Lagana said. “Peo-ple who frequent the farm-ers market know that an ap-ple isn’t just an apple – some
are great for cooking and others are great for snack-ing. Like much of our foods, they all have unique and different characteristics.”
All products on sale are grown and distributed
within a 50-mile radius, ensuring all purchases are benefiting local farms and families.
With an array of seasonal options, shoppers can find some of the freshest greens,
peppers, breads and toma-toes in the Morgantown area.
For those who like to plan their purchases in advance, a seasonal chart is avail-able on the market’s web-
site, www.morgantown-farmers.org.
If you are unsure how to cook your produce, the farmers market website also provides various reci-pes to kick-start your culi-
nary creativity. In this way, the market
engages its audience, cre-ating a bond between buyer and seller.
“There is also a unique sense of community when-ever you go to the farmer’s market,” Lagana said. “It’s a great place to hang out where you can spend time with your family and bring your dog.”
Main Street Morgan-town, a non-profit organi-zation dedicated to the revi-talization of the downtown area, has collected dona-tions to accelerate the con-struction of the market dur-ing the last few months. In addition, many area restau-rants and businesses – in-cluding Madeline’s on High Street, Hotel Morgan and the Golden Finch – heavily support the farmers’ mar-ket, while the Richwood Grill is dedicated to buying all of its freshest ingredients locally.
Be sure to check out the opening Saturday morning, and stop by Sept. 22 as well for the grand opening event, which features samples, guest chefs and live music.
With the opening of the Morgantown Market Place, the finest local foods are now just footsteps away.

WVU Health Sciences Center to host 5K runby eMily MeadowS
a&e writer
Tie up your sneakers and step into a good cause.
The Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Cen-ter is hosting its 20th an-nual September Stride 5K Run and Walk Saturday at 9 a.m.
Rain or shine, the race will set the start and finish line in the front of Ruby Memorial Hospital.
The yearly race, spon-sored by WVU Health-care’s Rehabilitation Ser-vices, benefits the Richard Rosenbaum Memorial Fund, which supports children with cystic fibro-sis and other pulmonary diseases.
The fund is named after Rick Rosenbaum, who was treated for cystic fibrosis at Ruby Memorial until his death at age 36.
His family established
the fund in his honor and created the Rosenbaum Family House, where pa-tients at WVU Healthcare centers can stay with their families while receiving medical treatments.
The 3.1-mile race in-cludes a rolling, two-loop course around the hospi-tal parking lots and along Van Voorhis Road, with one water stop and mile split times.
Early registration for the event has closed, but race hopefuls can still sign up now until race day for $25.
“We get some out-of-town participants for the race, and we get great sup-port from WVU students,” said race co-director Tom Druge.
Smiley Miles will pro-vide timing for all partici-pants, and cash prizes will be awarded to the top three men and women finishers.
One hundred fifty dol-
lars is up for grabs for the first place finisher, $100 for second and $50 for third place.
There is an additional $100 cash prize for any run-ner who sets a new course record. The current course record for men is 15:11 and 16:34 for women.
The race has also fea-tured a notable list of run-ners from past years.
“We have had at least one Olympian run and win the race – Megan Wright from Canada, and WVU and several US Olympic Trials Qualifiers, namely Mike Dudley, who ran for WVU and in the 2000 Mar-athon trials race,” Druge said.
Various prize drawings will also be available for all in attendance, and the first 200 registrants will receive a free event t-shirt.
There will be plenty of fun for the whole fam-
ily – the event will feature arts and crafts activities all morning, along with mini kids’ races to get little feet moving.
Three youth races will begin at 10 a.m., includ-ing two short runs for the younger crowd and a 1K for
older kids. While there is no cost for
participation, each child must be registered to par-take in the race.
WVU students seeking volunteering opportuni-ties can earn two hours of volunteer credit by partic-
ipating in the event.For those looking to
make their morning jog something special, the September Stride 5K is the way to go Saturday morning.

Gibbie’s comedy open mic night deliversby emily meadows
A&e writer
Noah Basden scribbles in his notebook.
Pages are filled with single words and short phrases that are, at a glance, meaningless.
A glass of Pabst Blue Rib-bon and a basket of cheese fries between them, Allen Beaver shares a booth with Basden in the back corner of Gibbie’s Pub. In front of him sits a smaller notebook of his own, packed with slightly longer notes.
“This is basically the book of a crazy person,” Bas-den said. “If anyone else read this, they’d have me institutionalized.”
It may be a school night, but these notes aren’t for class – they’re helping comedy solidify its place in mid-week Morgantown entertainment.
LOL: Open Mic Night, hosted by Basden, Sally Brooks and Brian Ornduff – the club’s open mic coor-dinator – is held at Gibbie’s Pub and Eatery on the sec-ond and fourth Wednesday of each month.
The bimonthly event gives local stand-up co-medians the opportunity to showcase witty talent and perform hilarious, cre-ative trials of their latest and greatest material.
Brooks, an Ohio native, started out casually per-forming at comedy clubs about four years ago, and has since decided to pursue her passion full-time. She is eagerly touring and per-forming her acts around the country and will be compet-ing in an upcoming contest in Boston for a chance to win $10,000.
Despite Brooks’ sporadic traveling schedule, Orn-duff, Basden and other co-medic regulars have dedi-cated their time and talents to keeping the show afloat.
“Originally we wanted people to email ahead of time to go on stage, but Sally and I just try to use our dis-cretion,” Ornduff said. “If someone seems really in-toxicated or inappropriate,
we try to filter that out.”Ornduff said he and
Brooks attempt to create the atmosphere of a legitimate comedy club and attract the college crowd and residents alike.
About 15 minutes before show time, many of the com-ics fall quiet. It’s a silence that’s neither awkward nor uncomfortable, and while some read over their pocket-sized notes, others simply sip their beer in solitude.
Whatever the individual approach, the sudden still-ness from the otherwise talk-ative group presents a rather unique moment of prepara-tion that seems incompara-ble to any other experience.
Before taking the stage, each performer becomes vulnerable and exposed, and what comes next re-quires confidence and a layer of tough skin.
Once the mic goes on, nothing is off-limits.
Eleven comedians took the stage Wednesday night, each receiving a five-min-ute bit to present a variety of unrestricted and diverse material. Immediately, an unspoken communication ties the performer to the au-dience, and ideas begin to flow effortlessly.
“It’s a show that you pro-duce, and you’re in charge of the lines and the acting; basically if this were theater it would be the most post-modern thing on stage,” Bas-den said. “Any random way you interact with the audi-ence, wherever you turn – there’s just so much to think about.”
Not every comedy night is a success, and Basden ad-mits that bombing a set can be pretty painful.
“But once you really com-mit, you make these friends, and I feel like we all think close to the same way,” Bas-den said. “We can point out flaws and try to make them funny.”
There are no prerequisites for taking the stage, but the tight-knit community be-tween these comedians cre-ates a more respectable en-vironment that sets it apart from your typical bar nights
around town.“If you have talent, we’ll
suck you in,” Basden said. “True comedians won’t talk to you unless you earn their respect, but you earn it by showing up every time there’s an open mic and constantly putting things together.”
The 21-year-old Basden, who has been living in Mor-gantown for 10 years, devel-oped a passion for comedy during middle school after reading “The Comedy Bi-ble” and performing at his school’s talent show.
“The home-ec teacher didn’t think I was funny,” Basden said. “Regardless, I’ve been writing and keep-ing journals ever since of things I observe that I find funny and interesting.”
Basden decided he wanted to extend the op-portunity to an 18-and-up crowd by alternating with Exhale Hookah Lounge on the first and third Wednes-days of every month.
Additionally, the recently formed Morgantown Com-edy Club will mark its in-ception next week and is expected to build an even larger community.
“At first I was a little scared to start one (comedy club) in Morgantown, because it would be full of dirty jokes and have this bureaucracy of being associated with WVU,” Basden said.
In the end, he feels more confident than ever that the comedy club will bring to-gether the town’s best tal-ents to form this progressive group that is certain to live up to its title and keep Mor-gantown laughing out loud.
