    Professor talks W.Va. self-governance by sam bosserman

    correspondent @dailyathenaeum

    West Virginia Universi-tys historic ability, or lack thereof, to self-govern was the central topic at Tuesday evenings Festival of Ideas lecture.

    The featured speaker Ronald Lewis, WVU profes-sor emeritus of history, re-cently published Aspiring to Greatness: West Virginia

    University since World War II, a book examining the his-tory of the University.

    Lewis said WVU has his-torically dealt with compli-cated state politics, which in turn has made it diffi-cult for WVU to reach its full potential.

    I thought itd be timely to focus on just one theme that emerged from my research Namely WVUs histori-cal struggle for self-gover-nance, Lewis said. If the

    past can prepare us to man-age the future, wise political leaders might have drawn a powerful lesson from the states historical approach to university governance.

    In outlining the historical struggles between the Uni-versity and the state over governance, Lewis cited nu-merous examples of how in-terference from state leaders brought WVU further away from obtaining its poten-tial greatness time and time

    again. The examples ranged

    from political conflicts be-tween Confederate and Union supporters in the Civil War era to battles be-tween Republicans and Democrats over who would be president of the states flagship institution.

    Annual Health Expo offers healthy living tips, flu shots

    @dailyathenaeum

    The annual Mountaineer Week Health and Wellness Expo took place Tuesday to teach West Virginia Univer-sity students about healthier lifestyle choices.

    Vendors from University-sponsored programs, lo-cal organizations and com-panies set up shop in the Mountainlair.

    We have several things set up reminding students how to stay healthy and encourag-ing them to stay healthy, said Angela Kittle, chairwoman for the Expo. We have 15 different vendors set up and they are doing healthy alter-natives to food (and) ways to stay active. There is even a lady here doing (a setup about) skin cancer from tan-ning and how thats an issue.

    In order to get students to take part in the expo and ex-plore the information, a raf-fle basket with hundreds of dollars worth of prices was organized.

    Its kind of like a scav-enger hunt. They have to go through the different ven-dors to find answers, Kittle said.

    The Wellness Expo also of-fered students and faculty an

    early opportunity to get a flu shot at a discounted price.

    The demand was high and the 120 shots ran out an hour before the expo closed.

    Since starting college, Ive always thought it was a good idea to get a flu shot, just to kind of prevent yourself from getting sick, especially if youre living in the dorms. Thats always one of the ma-jor things going around, said Greg Witker, who managed to get the last shot of the day. Im a senior, and every year Ive gotten a flu shot, and Ive never gotten sick.

    The Morgantown City Council met Tuesday eve-ning and held a public hearing on an ordinance authorizing the acquisition and construction of the city of Morgantowns sewage system.

    The ordinance asked the city for $1.25 million to help improve the citys exist-ing combined waterworks, sewerage and stormwa-ter system. The ordinance passed.

    A public hearing on an ordinance for West Virginia University to lease space at the former Woodburn School for the College of Creative Arts, the School of Art Design and the ceram-ics department was next on the agenda. The current space is now owned by the city of Morgantown.

    The meeting went on to discuss new business. The council members were left to determine the ap-proval of a resolution to change the name of South High Street Bridge. The or-dinance asked to name the bridge the John Py-

    les Bridge after former Monongalia County Com-missioner John W. Pyles.

    do what they love, Mcmul-len said. The presence of snowboarding is becoming more and more evident in Morgantown every school year.

    As an incentive, mem-bers of the Snowboard Club are offered discounted sea-son passes to Seven Springs Mountain Resort.

    Mcmullen said Seven Springs is his favorite resort because its three or four times the size of the resort he grew up using.

    There is so much ter-rain and dedication put into their parks, Mcmullen said. They have been Tran-sworld Snowboarding Mag-azine Top 5 East Coast Ter-rain Parks for the past few years.

    At the tip of the Appala-chian Mountains, WVU is an ideal location for any-body who loves to ski or snowboard.

    My goal as president of the WVU Snowboard Club is to put West Virginia Univer-

    sity on the map as a snow-boarding school, Mcmul-len said. (I want to) make people realize that WVU can be one of the top schools to attend for snowboarders nationwide, with access to limitless terrain and tons of great mountains all within a three-hour radius.

    Wisp Resort, Seven Springs Resort and Snow-shoe Resort are a few re-sorts the Snowboard Club frequents.

    Any interested student can be a member of the Snowboard Club. Within the Snowboard Club is the Snowboard Team, which members of the club have the option to try out for.

    The team has about 10 members and competes in competitions across the East Coast at the intercol-legiate and amateur levels.

    Mcmullen said his favor-ite thing about snowboard-ing is challenging himself to become better and learn new tricks.

    The harder you push yourself to learn tricks, while falling and getting back up, the more reward-ing it can be, Mcmullen

    said. In terms of All-Moun-tain snowboarding, my fa-vorite part is the free feel-ing that you can achieve the second you strap in your board and the care-free eu-phoria that goes along with it.

    Elizabeth Belcher, a ju-nior biology student, said she is excited for the up-coming season to get underway.

    My favorite thing about snowboarding is having that sense of control on a diffi-cult slope and the rush of adrenaline that comes from it, Belcher said.

    Although Belcher has been snowboarding for years, this is her first year as a member of the Snowboard Club.

    Im looking forward to meeting others in the club this year and hopefully making some new connec-tions, she said.

    WVU business students compete in national market competition by eveLyn meriTHeW

    staff Writer @dailyathenaeum

    A group of five West Vir-ginia University business students have been cho-sen as finalists in the Tazi-kis Marketing Challenge.

    Since August, Danielle Ferreira, Ryan Gushue, Dave Haak, Lizzy How-ells, and Corey Zinn have been working on a strate-gic marketing campaign for the WVU restaurant favor-ite, including TV, radio and print advertisements.

    Michael Walsh, asso-ciate professor of mar-keting, said the compe-tition involved colleges and universities from the Mid-Atlantic and South-ern region of the United States.

    The teams were given a hypothetical $30,000 media budget and told to come up with a media plan to run the material in the town theyre closest in,

    Walsh said. After submit-ting those materials, Tazi-kis identified five semi-fi-nalists out of a total of 31 teams.

    University of Arkan-sas at Little Rock, Clem-son University, and two teams from Samford Uni-versity are the other cho-sen semi-finalists. The five teams will fly to Tazikis company headquarters in Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 15 to present to the manage-ment team, and the winner will be announced on spot.

    These projects are am-bassadors to the Univer-sity. This is the real world and what you need to do to promote a business, Walsh said. The students made it come to life. They also dis-covered the limitations and the fact that things dont always go as ideally as you hear in the classroom.

    Walsh said the business school has participated in these types of competi-tions before, but that this

    competition in particular is different because of its approach.

    Weve learned there are two ways to approach these competitions. One is to put the project in a class course, he said. The other approach is to dedicate a team in that this is all they do. We created a course for this approach: outside case competition.

    The students who took this course will earn three credit hours. There are no classes, no tests, no books and no lectures.

    Theres just one deliv-erable and the expectation is that the students put the same amount of time into the campaign that they would a normal course, Walsh said.

    The group came up with a new Tazikis tagline, Let your taste buds travel, and built the campaign around this idea.

    Tazikis offers a unique type of cuisine. Its Medi-

    terranean and Greek style, which is different than your typical burgers and pasta, Walsh said.

    The team produced a TV commercial filmed at the Suncrest Towne Cen-tre Tazikis and reached out to WVUs ethnomusi-cology director for research and then recorded their own Mediterranean-styled background music for the commercial.

    The group also devel-oped a radio ad based around the correct pronun-ciation of the gyro, and created a print ad incor-porating Michelangelos David.

    In addition to the TV, radio and print advertise-ments, the team put to-gether banner advertising for websites, which stimu-lates and changes when a cursor is put over the ban-ner. They also developed a complete media recom-mendation for Tazikis.

    The students re-

    searched and recom-mended using WVU football telecasts and Mountaineer Sports Net-work (for the Morgantown campaign), Walsh said. They even went and met with the Pittsburgh TV sta-tion WTAE and came away with a proposal that would include 952 commercials in 12 months.

    Ferreira, a junior mar-keting student, said this project was well executed from the very beginning.

    Right away, Dr. Walsh took us to the WVU chal-lenge course and helped us establish a bond with each other, Ferreira said. It helped us communi-cate more easily and fig-ure out everyones role and who would spend time on what.

    After dividing up who would execute which parts of the cam-paign, the group then conquered.

    We would all pitch our

    ideas and put in sugges-tions. Traditional class-room learning lacks get-ting from the idea to the execution. That was the fun part, seeing it come to life, Ferreira said.

    Now three months later, the team is ready to present their original marketing campaign in Alabama next week.

    I think a lot of times you have a vision for a proj-ect and it falls short and doesnt come out how you imagine, Ferreira said. But this project showed me that what I envision and things I want to do can actually be achieved.

    The winning group will receive a $5,000 award.

    decision, considering they didnt have any rules or criteria to lean off of, Lit-tle said. The council mem-bers were trying to make decisions on a person who retired from County Com-mission, and they were

    aware that the topic is po-litical. They were trying to remain neutral.

    Lastly, Mayor Jenny Se-lin addressed the smoking ban on WVUs campus. Se-lin asked that smokers take into account where they are smoking.

    Theres a smoking ban, (as) most people know, Se-lin said. We are trying to get students and employees

    to smoke on the PRT side instead of the neighbor-hood side of Towers. Some of the people who are be-ing bothered by the smok-ing are the students.

    WVU and, West Virginia as a whole, is sectionalism.

    Lewis said sectionalism refers to the clear divisions between the different re-gions of the state that have long existed.

    Raw sectionalism was never inadvertent The fight over where the WVU medical school would be located offers a memora-ble example (of this), Lewis said. Even though the Board of Governors insisted that all University facilities should be on the Morgan-town campus, a bill intro-duced in the West Virginia

    legislature in 1948 proposed a four-year medical school be located in Charles Town.

    Lewis said the reasoning for the bill was Charles Town is a more central location and thus more accessible.

    Aleshia Burriss, a senior nursing student, said the lecture was informative and offered an interesting per-spective on the Universitys history.

    I had no idea about all the struggles in the Univer-sitys history, especially in re-gards to the medical school, Burriss said. I think the lec-ture was great because not a lot of students are aware of some of the things that come up between WVU and the state government.

    Its important for us (as

    a university) to be aware of the history because it al-lows us to learn from past mistakes.

    Lisa Defrank-Cole, assis-tant professor and director of the Leadership Studies Pro-gram, said she found Lew-iss lecture to be enlighten-ing, and hopes lessons from the past have been learned to make for a better future.

    I hope that we (as a university) can work to-gether with the legislature in Charleston, DeFrank-Cole said. I think they also have a lot of interest in this University succeeding, and that building bridges is def-initely the way to go moving forward.

    WVU dance professor teaches in Big 12 Faculty Fellowship exchange

    Wythe Woods/the dAILy AtheNAeUMYoav Kaddar, a professor of dance at WVU, teaches students by dancing alongside.

    by nick wesdockA&e writer

    @dAilyAthenAeum

    For 84 years, dance has thrived at WVUs College of Creative Arts, and now, in its first semester offered as ma-jor, students and faculty are presented with even more opportunities in the field.

    As part of the Big12 Fac-ulty Fellowship exchange program, WVUs Dance Pro-gram director, Yoav Kaddar, recently traveled to the Uni-versity of Texas to work with their 73 dance majors and 37 aspiring freshmen.

    It was a really great and positive experience, Kad-dar said. It was great and interesting to see what oth-ers are doing in universities and programs like ours and to learn and to contribute to

    theirs. The exchange was a big

    step for dance at WVU. I think itll just add to our

    brand new program, Kad-dar said. Thats also one of the main agenda items, why I was really after this hap-pening: to put WVU, the dance program and our stu-dents on the national, colle-giate level.

    Together, Kaddar and the students at the Univer-sity of Texas re-staged one of his dances from 2007 enti-tled Raw. The rendition will be featured in the Universi-tys premiere dance concert, Fall for Dance, later this month.

    I always enjoy to re-visit pieces Ive done in the past, Kaddar said. I had a chance to revisit this piece and the work and make

    some changes to fit it more toward the particulars of the dancers that I was working with. Each group is always very different.

    Kaddar said he would like to showcase the re-staged Raw in WVUs an-nual dance concert Dance Now! in 2015.

    Dance students at WVU also benefited from the ex-change when the head of Texas Dance Program, Holly Williams, visited Morgan-town in October.

    She has a very similar philosophy to mine in terms of teaching and aesthetics, Kaddar said. So, it was a pretty easy process. For the students it was also a very pleasant experience.

    While in Morgantown, Williams visited Kaddars dance studio, where she

    presented a number of mas-ter classes for WVUs dance majors and minors. She also worked with the students to create an original piece for the upcoming Dance Now! in February.

    In some ways, the trip was just as eye opening for the professors as it was for the students they were teaching.

    I think its helped me look at my own choreogra-phy differently and change my approach in various as-pects of choreography, Kad-dar said. Its definitely given me a chance to do some, in a way, soul searching artistically.

    Kaddar believes strongly in the fellowship and would like to see it continue within the Big 12 conference.

    Avril Lavigne releases fifth album

    Through four albums, fans watched Avril Lavi-gne transform from a cha-otic, skater girl to a success-ful young woman with her own fashion line.

    Lavigne became a sym-bol for misunderstood girls across the nation back in 2002 with her debut album Let Go, which mixed pop/punk with a singer-song-writer style of music. Then, as her primary audience grew older, Lavigne kept her music relatable with her more serious lyrics and darker sounds on the 2004 album, Under My Skin.

    Soon after, in 2005, Lavi-gne was married to Sum 41 singer, Deryck Whibley, and it was reflected in her mu-sic as a more mature subject matter and a mainstream, bubblegum sound shined through and temporarily confused her fans in the al-bum Best Damn Thing in 2007.

    By 2011, Lavigne released Goodbye Lullaby, along with the track Alice, for the soundtrack of Tim Bur-tons Alice in Wonderland. The sound maintained the mainstream feel and edge of her previous album but added some tracks that went back to her singer-song-writer roots and also some more profane language.

    This week, Lavigne re-leased her fifth album sim-

    ply titled Avril Lavigne. Overall, this album isnt

    what I had hoped for. The change from her first album to now is stark. Lavigne is definitely experimenting with genres and technology.

    The first song on the al-bum is called Rock N Roll and repeats the sentiment that were still rock and roll. While the album isnt awful, it is definitely not still rock and roll.

    In the single Heres to Never Growing Up, there is no evidence she has made it past her early 20s, when in reality, she will be 30 years old next September.

    I can appreciate that she wants to have fun and really, in her position she doesnt need to grow up. Most of the album echoes this theme that there doesnt need to be any change in behavior as you age, but that isnt the reality for most people.

    She has been slowly los-ing the characterization as someone relatable to look up to. Even her image has changed all the way from the days of business ties and cargo pants to glitz and glam.

    I was hoping for some life advice, but instead she keeps telling me to be a Bad Girl, which is the title of a collaboration with Marilyn Manson that I actually en-joy. The experimental and electronic sound is very dif-ferent from anything she has previously released.

    Much of the music on this album is pure pop and some of the songs are something... else. She basically raps in Hello Kitty, shouts in Jap-

    anese, meows and includes some background sounds that might be mistaken for dubstep.

    The best song on the al-bum, by far, is actually a duet with her new husband, Chad Kroeger from Nickel-back entitled Let Me Go. Their voices sound beautiful together and the lyrics are not about sex, kittens or par-tying. Its about moving on from memories of lost love and stopping it from impris-oning you.

    Another really good song is Give You What You Like, which talks about a drunk, sexual encounter being used to fill romantic empti-ness and insecurities. Dur-ing the night, she asks, Is this love? but regrets it later when the lights come back on.

    I appreciate her as an art-ist and will still be singing along to the whole album. I would recommend giving it a listen and coming to your own conclusions. Just dont expect much substance this time around. Look to have fun with it, and dont over-analyze it or you might just be disappointed.

    The subject matter does get suggestive, and she does use profane language so I would not recommend it for young children. Instead, let them listen to her first two albums.

    For this album, Lavigne doesnt get more than 3 stars out of 5 from me when Im in a good mood. But, as far as pop artists go, she is still one of my favorites.

    Team Trivia provides relaxationby westley thompson

    A&e writer @dAilyAthenAeum

    While Friday nights and weekends are popular times to go out to eat, bars and restaurants in Mor-gantown during the week have always struggled with customer turnout. To fix this issue and increase weeknight turnouts, many eateries and pubs feature Team Trivia nights.

    Hospitality establish-ments can sign up for this question-and-answer game through the com-pany, Team Trivia Incs, website.

    The rules for Team Trivia are simple. Patrons of the establishment can create teams of up to ten players. The teams then compete against one an-other in six trivia rounds, including an additional halftime round and a final question.

    The questions are drawn from a range of family friendly topics including music, movies, television and sports. In round one, point values vary from one, three or five points and can be assigned to each question by each in-dividual team.

    In round two, the point

    values are changed to be worth either two, four or six points.

    In the halftime round, questions often have mul-tiple right answers, with each correct answer worth two bonus points. Like in Jeopardy during the final round, teams can bet up to 15 points on the last question.

    The winning team is of-ten awarded with some sort of prize, usually in-cluding cash or gift cards, which vary depending on the establishment.

    Team Trivia games usu-ally last around two hours and can be an opportunity to have fun. People who enjoy the game make it a weekly event, sometimes even going as far as creat-ing official teams com-plete with customized T-shirts.

    The game gives the venue a fun and energetic atmosphere, livening up what are usually boring evenings for both the cus-tomers and staff.

    As some would imag-ine, Team Trivia is good for business. One sports bar, featured on the website, stated that Team Trivia events bring in an addi-tional $2,500 per week, for just two hours of activity.

    Team Trivia has been in business for more than 20 years now, and has grown substantially. More than 40,000 customers per week participate in Team Trivia events across the nation.

    There is also Team Trivia league play. Here, rules become more offi-cial, and these teams com-pete to earn points that are tracked by the company. The teams can then enter tournaments to win large cash prizes.

    Team Trivia Inc. also offers other events includ-ing Team Bingo and Toxic Trivia. Toxic Trivia fea-tures questions aimed at a more mature crowd, which is popular with younger night crowds.

    Many restaurants and bars in the Morgantown area have Team Trivia nights. Some notable ex-amples are Boston Bean-ery near both the Evans-dale and Downtown Campuses, Bent Wil-leys, Keglers Sports Bar & Lounge, Fat Daddys Bar & Grill, Applebees and many others.

    The complete list with times can be found at http://www.playteam-trivia.com/search.

    effectiveness of flu shot debatableThe question of the season:

    should you get a flu shot?The experts still cant agree

    on this topic. Seasonal influenza, also

    known as the flu, is caused by viruses that infects the nose, throat and lungs. The flu can cause severe illness and life-threatening compli-cations in the young, old and those with pre-existing health conditions. The flu season in the United States runs from October to May.

    According to the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention, anywhere from 5-20 percent of Ameri-cans catch the flu, and more than 200,000 people are hospitalized.

    Dr. Alexis Halpern, from New York Presbyterian Hos-pital, reported 110 people were admitted from influ-enza in the first week of Jan-uary in 2013, a 30 percent in-crease from the week before. The lobby of the hospital was set up as an impromptu med-ical examination room, com-plete with plastic sheets sepa-rating the patients.

    Obvious, this illness is a growing problem.

    The CDC and other gov-ernment programs claim the most effective way to prevent getting the flu is to get the flu shot.

    But how effective is the shot, really?

    The difficulty of providing the vaccine is that the strain of virus for the flu is con-

    stantly changing, making the current vaccine out of date as soon as its created.

    The flu vaccination is about 60 percent effective, ac-cording to Dr. Dan Jernigan, deputy director of the Divi-sion of Influenza for the Cen-ter for Disease Control.

    While this number may seem low to some, this is in-

    credibly high when consid-ered in relation to the size of our population and the fact there wasnt even a vaccina-tion against the illness 100 years ago.

    Researchers from John Hopkins University have found evidence that dis-agrees the flu shot really isnt that effective at all.

    They claim of 100 people who get the flu shot, only one or two will be prevented from getting the flu.

    Other studies show the risks of taking the vaccine are even greater than the benefits. One of the flu shots contains thimerosal, which is made up of mercury, aluminum and other poisons. While there is

    a thimerosol-free version of the shot, this other type is still in circulation.

    The flu shot increases the risk of complication and hos-pitalizations, especially in children with asthma, elderly patients, pregnant women and people with diseases that weaken their immune system. It also increases sei-

    zure risk. And sometimes the side effects of the shot can be just as bothersome as the effects of the flu virus itself. Essentially, the only people for whom the vacci-nation works are the people who are healthy and proba-bly wouldnt have caught the flu anyway.

    This information must be taken with a grain of salt, though. The side effects only affect a small part of the pop-ulation and are unlikely to oc-cur. You just have to decide whether the benefits out-weigh the risks.

    Maybe in 20 years, well realize getting the flu vaccine was the worst possible line of defense against the flu virus. But well never know that for sure until some other, more effective way to beat the virus comes along.

    As for getting the shot this season, do your homework to decide whether the flu shot is best for you.

    In the meantime, wash your hands often, avoid touching places other hands have been, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and please, stay at home if you have the flu. In a class of 300 students, it would be very easy to infect the people around you and no one wants to hear you sniffle and cough for an hour.

    Stay healthy, WVU students.

    OP-ed COmmeNTAry

    This December, my brother will graduate and move back to our home in Virginia. We currently live together in a house that isnt normally rented out to students, but rather lo-cal families.

    My brother lived in Tow-ers his freshman year, a frat house for a little while, and then ever since, hes lived in houses just like ours. Hes always had a well-paying job for a col-lege student, which has al-lowed him to purchase a lot of nice things.

    But with the end of col-lege right around the cor-ner, and a plan to move home and work until he attends law school, hes stuck with a lot of differ-ent problems.

    When he moved into his first house, his room-mate had furniture, but later moved out and took his furniture with him. So he was forced to buy an en-tire homes worth of furni-ture and appliances. Af-ter he was able to bounce back financially from the things he had to buy, he started saving for things he wanted, because he was bringing in enough money to buy things most stu-dents could only purchase long after they graduated.

    While he was still liv-ing in the first house, he bought a motorcycle, and once he moved into our first house together, he bought a 12-foot Jon boat for us to take fishing. Our first house had a ga-rage to store both of them, but when we decided we wanted to move, we had to find a new house with a garage or enough room to

    store them. Needless to say the op-

    tions are slim for houses in Morgantown with park-ing space. We finally found the house we have now, but it was a lucky find that barely saved us from being stranded without a suit-able home.

    While all of these pur-chases seemed like harm-less decisions at the time, now hes stressed because I plan on moving into a furnished apartment next year and he doesnt have anywhere to store his boat, motorcycle, furniture and all of his appliances. He has tried selling both the boat and the motorcycle, but all of the offers he has received would leave him taking a huge loss on both purchases. Or he can find someone who will store each for an indefinite amount of time, which is unlikely.

    Remember you are still a college student living in Morgantown for a tempo-rary time. Think twice be-fore making big purchases, because youre going to have to leave here at some point anyway.

    Many students forget college is only a temporary experience that is going to leave you in an awkward position after graduation.

    Theres nothing wrong with living in a dorm or a small furnished apartment while on your own in col-lege. College is stressful enough as it is, leaving lit-tle to no room for addi-tional pressure.

    When making the deci-sion about where to live, keep in mind the most practical decisions are go-ing to make learning, grad-uation and taking the next step a lot easier.

    The eyes of the nation, and of the food industry, are all heavily fixed on Wash-ington State.

    If yours arent, they should be. Residents of Washington voted today to either approve or reject a law that would require clear and conspicuous la-beling of all food products made with ingredients con-taining genetically modi-fied organisms, or GMOs, by manufacturers. The mea-sure, Initiative 522, could make Washington the first state in the US to require GMO labeling.

    The vast majority of our countrys corn and soy products, which are ingredi-ents in manufactured foods such as crackers, chips, ce-real, juice and cookies, are grown with genetically modified seeds. Simply put, most of our packaged food contains GMOs.

    Washington certainly isnt the only state intro-ducing legislation on GMO labeling. In fact, proposals similar to Initiative 522 ex-ist in 22 other states across the country.

    However, according to those at the forefront of the food industry, the vote in Washington has the poten-

    tial to influence how other states are likely to vote on the issue. (The vote in Washington) will be kind of one for you to watch and see which way the wind is blow-ing with respect to custom-ers saying this matters to us, said Whole Foods CEO Walter Robb.

    Whole Foods is the first supermarket chain to com-mit to full GMO transpar-ency, and will require ev-ery genetically modified food sold in its stores to be appropriately labeled by March 2018.

    Many may say the aver-age American doesnt re-ally care what goes into their food, but according to a survey conducted by the New York Times, GMO la-beling is information that an overwhelming majority of Americans want. In fact, an astounding 93 percent of the American public agreed that foods containing genet-ically modified ingredients should be labeled.

    With a great deal of sup-port for labeling laws, its no surprise big food is spend-ing millions to fight them. A whopping 27 million dollars has been spent by the food industry to fight Initiative 522 alone.

    While this figure doesnt even come close to the 45 million spent in California to prevent similar legisla-tion, it does represent the

    most money ever spent to oppose a ballot measure in the states history.

    Contributors to the anti-labeling campaign include the controversial Mon-santo, an American-based agriculture company, mul-tinational chemical com-panies BASF Global and DuPont and the Grocery Manufacturers Association. The GMA is by far the big-gest contributor, accounting for 50 percent of the funds raised so far.

    The GMAs top donors are those responsible for manu-facturing some of the most recognizable food in the supermarket and in your kitchen. The top 10 include PepsiCo, Nestl, Coca-Cola, General Mills, ConAgra Foods, Campbell Soup, The Hershey Company, J.M. Smucker, Kellogg Company, and Mondelez Global.

    Manufacturers fear sales of their products marketed as healthy or all natural will suffer as a result of their new GMO labels. In short, big food doesnt think you have the right to know what you are eating.

    Many anti-labeling ef-forts point to studies that show GMOs are safe for hu-man consumption, but a great deal of these studies are conducted by the same corporations who make a profit selling products with genetically modified

    ingredients.In more than 60 coun-

    tries around the world, in-cluding Australia, Japan and all of the countries in the European Union, there are significant restrictions or outright bans on the pro-duction and sale of food containing GMOs. Interna-tionally, consumer prefer-ence has been a major in-fluence on what exactly is sold in supermarkets.

    According to Mondelez International, a global food company responsible for the manufacture of popu-lar products like Oreos and Triscuits,In the U.S. most people are not concerned about GM foods or ingredi-ents and so we use them in America. On the other hand, in Europe, we know the gen-eral public doesnt want them and so we only use non-GM ingredients there.

    The time has come to show big food the high-est bidder cannot buy the health and safety of con-sumers, and we have the right to complete transpar-ency when it comes to what goes into our food. Stricter laws regulating the pro-duction and sale of geneti-cally modified foods in the United States are long over-due, and the power to put them in place rests with each and every one of us.

    BORN TODAY This year you might develop a more serious tone than you have had in past years. You are determined to achieve your goals. Woe to anyone who might decide to interfere with your path. You know where you are going, and you will not be sidetracked. If you are single, you might attract someone who is equally as determined as you are. Working out a relationship will take a lot of mutual respect. If you are at-tached, the two of you will head in a new direction after years of discus-sion. You will be thrilled to enter a new phase of your life together.

    ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Be direct in your dealings. Know that change is very possible if

    you share what your objective is with others. A partner or loved one will understand what is going on. Listen to your inner voice. Tonight: A friend needs to share more with you.

    TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You could be dealing with a loved one far differently from how you had intended because of a vagueness that surrounds this per-son. Until you are a little surer of your-self, hold off on making a decision. Tonight: A close encounter.

    GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You could be more in sync with someone than you might realize. Youll need to think through an of-fer longer than you might have an-ticipated. Investigate alternatives before you commit to one course of action over another. Tonight: Togeth-

    erness works.

    CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Someone around you could be very controlling and serious. You know that this person has good intentions, despite all the flak you are receiv-ing. Understand what is happening. He or she might want more control, and is unlikely to admit it. Tonight: All smiles.

    LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HH Pace yourself; you have a lot of ground to cover. You might want to revise your schedule, and approach a situa-tion with more sensitivity and direc-tion. Youll see a personal matter dif-ferently after a conversation with a partner. Tonight: Chat over a relaxed dinner.

    VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Allow your creativity to emerge in

    your dealings with a fun, childlike person. A partner could add some magic to your day. This person might be unusually romantic and/or senti-mental. Enjoy this phase, for it wont last forever. Tonight: Time for a mid-week break.

    LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You might feel out of sync with a per-sonal issue, and you could be viewing your finances with an eye to costs. You might not be able to talk sense into someone else right now. This person can see only what his or her rose-colored glasses permit. Tonight: Head home early.

    SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Say what you think, as others might not understand where you are com-ing from otherwise. Be direct, and drop all manipulation. Understand your choices and explain your logic.

    Others will agree or disagree; you have no control here. Tonight: Catch up on a friends news.

    SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH You express yourself through your body language and expressions. Without intending to, you could be building your personal life on rocky foundations. Even in a talk, you might not choose to reveal your thoughts. Tonight: Buy a few necessities on the way home.

    CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You know what to say, but you might prefer to say nothing right now. You rarely reveal your more emotional side. Others are drawn to you; they cant seem to stay away. Dont be shy. Discuss what you think is a great idea. Tonight: Where the fun is.

    AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH

    You might not be comfortable with a project, a key person and/or yourself. Youll need to take some time to sort through what is bothering you. Fol-low through, and take care of your-self first. Only then will you be able to be helpful to others. Tonight: Make it early.

    PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH A meeting might prove to be more important than you initially thought. You might want to bring others to-gether to get the ball rolling. Dont hesitate to take better care of your-self first. You often do too much for others and not enough for yourself. Tonight: Find your friends.

    Sadiyyah Owens, one of the finalists for Moun-taineer Idol, began sing-ing at a young age but never dreamed of singing competitively.

    Owens, a senior psy-chology student from An-napolis, Md., was a regular at karaoke nights in dif-ferent venues across Mor-gantown for some time. She never wanted to com-pete though, because she said she was not confident enough in her vocal ability.

    Several years later, Ow-ens said she is surprised she has gotten so far in the 2013 Mountaineer Idol competition, but she still treats every round like a night of karaoke. Ow-ens chose songs for each round she enjoyed singing at karaoke events, includ-ing Redneck Woman by Gretchen Wilson.

    Although she enjoys singing, that was not her main reason for joining the Mountaineer Idol competi-tion. Owens was invited on a trip over winter break to visit her boyfriends fam-ily, but she knew she would

    not be able to accompany him unless she found a way to make more money. Thats when she realized

    Mountaineer Idol would be a great opportunity to earn some money, as the winner of the competition will be

    awarded $1,000.Owens has enjoyed sing-

    ing throughout the com-petition, but that has not been her favorite part. She has really enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends. Even though she has become a friend to everyone in the compe-tition, she knows the ulti-mate goal is to win and that means beating other peo-ple. She has a specific strat-egy for doing so.

    You can sing as well as you want, but you will get voted off if you dont give a great show, Owens said.

    Owens had to learn that the hard way, though. She was voted out of the com-petition during an ear-lier round, but was then brought back by the judges.

    She said she delivered one of her best vocal per-formances the night she was supposed to be elimi-nated, but she just did not give the best visual per-formance she could have given.

    After that devastating round, she came back and gave the best performance she had given so far in the competition.

    Owens now plans on giving the best visual and vocal performance yet again during Sundays fi-nal round. She is required to perform three songs, in-cluding one from an earlier round. She is going back to her old karaoke roots and is performing Redneck Woman again.

    If she does not end up winning in the end, she said she will not be devas-tated because it has been a great experience for her.

    Part of me secretly wants to get second place so I can come back again next year to try to win it again, Owens said.

    To see Owens, who is first in the lineup of com-petition, perform along-side Paige Madden and Skip Smith in the final round of Mountaineer Idol, grab your seat at the Metropolitan Theater on High Street Sunday at 3 p.m.

    Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra visits CAC Esteemed musical group begins season, performs Russian Masterpieces

    Doyle Maurer/THe DaIly aTHeNaeuMPianist Daniil Trifonov performs Prokofievs Piano Concerto No. 2 Monday night in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre.

    by sam bosserman correspondent

    @dailyathenaeum

    The Creative Arts Center echoed with the beautifully performed music of the Pitts-burgh Symphony Orchestra Monday evening.

    Talented conductor Yan Pascal Tortelier led the or-chestra with spirit as they played with visible, strong emotion throughout the night. The power behind the music was palpable, with cer-tain notes leaving ones hair standing up and others leav-ing all but fleeting emotion.

    The concert, Russian Masterpieces, featured the works of two early twenti-eth century Russian com-posers, Sergei Prokofiev and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Rus-sian pianist Daniil Trifonov joined the orchestra on stage for Profokievs composi-tions. Trifonov, only 22 years old, lived up to his world-renowned reputation as he masterfully captured the au-diences full attention with pi-

    ano solos. The level of intensity

    shown by Trifonov was cap-tivating in its own right. The young pianist put everything into this performance and, additionally, Trifonov and the Symphony Orchestra com-plemented each other well. This resulted in an impressive display of collaboration.

    After the compositions by Prokofiev, Trifonov left the stage and the orchestra proceeded to skillfully play through Rachmaninoff s Symphony No. 2 in E mi-nor, Opus 27. The orchestra played in a manner befitting its renown throughout the composition, much to the de-light of the audience.

    Kenneth Johnson, audi-ence member and senior music education student, said the concert was fantas-tic, and he thought each sec-tion was extremely talented.

    Their brass section is per-fect and their string section isnt bad either, Johnson said. Everything sounded great. They are definitely one

    of the best orchestras in the world.

    Johnson said he thought the way the orchestra played together was part of the rea-son they sounded as great as they did.

    They were all on the same page the conductor did a really great job of conveying what he wanted and they did a great job of responding, Johnson said.

    Phillip Nichols, a freshman piano performance student, said the only gripe out of the entire performance he could have was the fact the piano could have been played more prominently.

    As a pianist myself, I felt the piano could have been a little more over the orches-tra, just a little louder, Nich-ols said. Other than that, (Trifonovs) form and tech-nique was beautiful, and the Rachmaninoff in the second part was played beautifully, as well.

    Nichols said he thought the composition by Rach-maninoff itself is a powerful

    piece and the orchestra, un-der the leadership of conduc-tor Torelier, did a great job of capturing that power.

    The conductors intensity throughout the performance really brought out what makes the piece so power-

    ful, Nichols said. It was re-ally a great performance.

    Monday nights concert is a part of the Pittsburgh Sym-phony Orchestras Canady Symphony Series. The next opportunity to catch a per-formance will be on Jan. 28,

    2014 and is entitled The Best of Broadway.

    Sims a consistent threat for

    WVUIn Saturdays overtime

    victory over TCU, the West Virginia football team did some good things, but also some things that made you scratch your head.

    The one constant you will get with the Moun-taineers this season will be running back Charles Sims production. The NFL prospect had a whopping 154 yards on the ground leading WVU to a 30-27 victory over the Horned Frogs.

    On one drive in the sec-ond quarter, a struggling West Virginia offense needed just three plays to score and bring the Moun-taineers within striking distance once again at 17-10. Sims, who rushed for 60 yards in two out of the three plays, capped off the sequence with a 31-yard rush for the score.

    Besides his stellar run-ning ability, Sims also caught a touchdown pass from redshirt junior quar-terback Clint Trickett to give West Virginia some breathing room in the fourth quarter.

    So, what I saw during Saturdays game was one of the most underused play-ers in all of college foot-ball finally get his chance to shine.

    We all know how good Sims is and could be if given the opportunity. Hes a special player who doesnt come around too often for any team.

    Offensive coordina-tor Shannon Dawson said Sims must get touches fol-lowing the win against TCU. For the Mountaineers to really have the ultimate success, Sims must be used throughout the game.

    In no way, shape or form should WVU be a pass-first team this season. With three games remaining, Sims must get his touches, because we know theres always the possibility the senior could break one for six points.

    The win against TCU signified Sims is capa-ble game in and game out of this kind of breakout performance.

    In the season-high 154 yards for Sims, he averaged over six yards per carry. With three games remain-ing in the 2013 season, Sims has a strong chance of racking up over 1,000 yards.

    Its pretty simple: when you get your best player the ball, good things happen. Its no surprise the offense is a bit inconsistent and far from potent. When Sims is able to see the open field, defenses have to adjust.

    When Sims gets his fair share of carries, it takes the pressure off Trickett. Trickett and Sims have developed some chemis-try in the passing game as well, as seen in Saturdays win over TCU. Sims abil-ity to cut and make defend-ers miss tackles are what makes him such a threat. If youre the defensive co-ordinator for Texas, Kansas or Iowa State, you must be aware of where No. 3 is on the field.

    While I firmly believe TCU shot itself in the foot at times in Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday, West Vir-ginia took advantage of four turnovers and some costly penalties on the Horned Frogs. The Moun-taineers relied on Sims for the victory. Thats what they should do every week.

    After all, hes the guy defenses target but still cant seem to completely figure out. With West Vir-ginia needing to win two out of its next three games, the offense should rely on Sims ability to carry the load.

    For us, as common view-ers having the opportunity to watch this talent in per-son, we should cherish what he does on the field for the rest of the season.

    WVU head coach Bob Huggins stresses importance of playing within comfort zoneBy connoR MuRRAyASSOcIATE SPORTS EDITOR

    @cOnnORkmuRRAy

    With the season opener against Mount St. Marys just two days away, the West Virginia mens basketball team is still shaking off its preseason rust and trying to find an identity for the up-coming season.

    In their final preseason tune-up, the Mountaineers defeated Fairmont State 89-70 in an exhibition game at the WVU Coliseum Monday night.

    Although the competi-tion was not equal to what West Virginia will face in the Big 12 this season, Mon-days exhibition provided a glimpse at some of the

    strengths and weaknesses of this Mountaineer team.

    Sophomore guard Eron Harris and freshman for-ward Nathan Adrian com-bined to go 9-17 from 3-point range Monday night, and West Virginia shot 44.4 percent from be-yond the arc for the game.

    I think we can make shots. I think Nate (Adrian) can make shots. Obviously Eron (Harris) has made shots. Were going to be a better perimeter shooting team than weve been in a while, said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins.

    While West Virginia had success shooting from long distance Monday, Fairmont State dominated the game down low, outscoring WVU

    34-10 in the paint.Freshman forward Devin

    Williams totaled 14 re-bounds on the night, but struggled to establish him-self in the post offense, as he made just one of his three shots and finished with four points on the night.

    Hes got a great body with big, wide shoulders, and hes got good hands. Ive known Devin since he was a freshman (in high school). Hes always re-bounded the ball, Huggins said.

    Wed like for him to score a little bit on the block. I think he can. He can do some things down there.

    With the variety of skill sets the Mountaineers pos-

    sess this season, Huggins said it is important for each player to stay within their comfort zone and not try to force anything.

    I think the game still comes down to (taking) all the shots you think you can make. If you dont think that you can make it, or its a shot that youre not going to make, then dont shoot it, Huggins said.

    Dont get out of the realm of what you are. Its a fine line, because then (the players) think, Well, he doesnt want me to do this. No, its not that. When you get out of your com-fort zone, you stand out in a negative way.

    Harris, who led West Vir-ginia in scoring during the

    2012-13 season, put up 30 points Monday night. For him to continue to have success this season, Hug-gins said he needs to be careful to take what the de-fense is giving him, rather than forcing the situation and disrupting the flow of the offense.

    Eron Harris is such a good kid and such a com-petitive kid that he wants to win, but he cant force things where he forces things into turnovers and bad shots, Huggins said.

    I think everybody real-izes Im not dumb enough to tell Eron Harris, Dont shoot, but its a fine line be-tween taking good shots.

    WVu to take on Kansas in Big 12 tournament

    WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMSophomore Kelsie Maloney controls the ball in a game against Texas Oct. 4.

    By joe MITchInSPORTS wRITER

    @DAIlyAThEnAEum

    Its been several long days of anticipation and reflection for the No. 15 West Virginia womens soc-cer team. Their last match Oct. 27 was a 2-0 loss to No. 12 Texas Tech. The Moun-taineers, now rested and refocused, are getting set for another run in the Big 12 tournament this week in Kansas City, Mo. Their quarterfinal counterpart, the Kansas Jayhawks.

    WVUs short history in the tournament isnt a pretty one. Last season in their conference tour-nament debut, the No. 1 Mountaineers were up-set by No. 8 TCU. The team earned the first seed again this season, winning their second straight Big 12 reg-ular-season title with a 7-1 conference mark. Not only does the memory of last season haunt head coach Nikki Izzo-Browns young team, but their first ever regular-season league loss does, as well.

    Weve battled wear-ing the target all year, and I think weve learned les-sons, Izzo-Brown said. We understand if we let our guard down at all, it could lead to some unfortunate results. We want to protect ourselves and make sure we dont do that again.

    The loss to Texas Tech ended the teams nine-game winning streak and a string of 15 straight confer-ence regular season games without a defeat.

    West Virginia and Kan-sas will meet up for the sec-ond time in 2013 in Kansas City. WVU defeated the Jay-

    hawks on Senior Night at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium Oct. 18. Kelsie Maloney and Frances Silva both net-ted goals, while goalkeeper Sara Keane earned her sixth shutout of the season.

    Kansas just edged out Oklahoma as the final qual-ifier for the Big 12 tourna-ment. The Jayhawks went 7-10-2 in the regular sea-son and won just twice in-side the conference. Se-nior forward Caroline Kastor led the team in all offensive categories with six goals, three assists and 15 points in 2013. The Jay-hawks struggled offensively this season, scoring just 19 goals. The team was shut-out on 10 occasions.

    In goal, Kansas Kaitlyn Stroud allowed 22 goals in 19 games played, made a league-best 99 saves and had a goals against aver-age of just 1.13.

    I think Kansas has a couple special players, Izzo-Brown said. They play very possession-orien-tated soccer, and they are a dangerous team. Its just a matter of whether they can bring it all together on one day.

    Meanwhile for West Vir-ginia, Silva makes her re-turn home to the Kansas City area after being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Silva registered 12 goals and 13 assists for the 13-3-2 Mountaineers for a conference leading 37 points.

    WVU swept the postsea-son awards this year with Izzo-Brown winning the conferences Coach of the Year award and freshman Kadeisha Buchanan taking both the Defensive Player of the Year and Newcomer

    of the Year awards. We start a new sea-

    son this week, Izzo-Brown said. Were going to do the same things, but weve defi-nitely entered the most im-portant season of the year because its the season at hand.

    The winner of the quar-terfinal match will take on the winner of the No.4-No. 5 game featuring Iowa State and Baylor.

    WVU and Kansas will kick off at 6:30 tonight at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City, Mo.

    Luck, Big 12 Conference announce 2014 scheduleBy amit Batra

    sports editor @batra01

    Early Tuesday, West Vir-ginia Athletic Director Ol-iver Luck and the Big 12 Conference announced the 2014 football sched-ule for WVU and the other Big 12 schools. The Moun-taineers face a challenging road in 2014, all starting with the two-time national champions the Alabama Crimson Tide.

    West Virginia opens the season in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game against the nations current No. 1 team Aug. 30. The game will be played at Atlantas Georgia Dome.

    Following a stiff test against Alabama, WVU opens at home against Towson University before traveling to face noncon-ference foe Maryland in

    College Park, Md. With almost two sea-

    sons in the books as a member of the Big 12 Conference, a grueling test awaits in league play in 2014.

    Similar to this season, West Virginia will see Oklahoma rather early, as the Mountaineers take on the Sooners in their open-ing conference game Sept. 27 in Morgantown. Fol-lowing that game, WVU stays home to welcome Kansas before traveling to take on Texas Tech Oct. 11.

    West Virginia will be back home for Baylor Oct. 18 before taking on the Oklahoma State Cow-boys in Stillwater, Okla., Oct. 25. The Mountain-eers last home games will be against TCU Nov. 1 and Kansas State Nov. 20, while the last two road games will be against Texas Nov.

    8 and Iowa State Nov. 29.The two weeks marked

    open are Sept. 20 and Nov. 15. Homecoming will take place against Kansas and Mountaineer Day will be against TCU.

    The 2014 football schedule has an excel-lent mix of home and away games that our fans will enjoy, Luck said. Starting the season against Alabama will pro-vide excitement in the state all summer. A road game at Maryland is an easy drive for our fans before we welcome the likes of Oklahoma, Kan-sas, Baylor, TCU and Kan-sas State to Morgantown. Overall, with our noncon-ference schedule coupled with the rigors of the Big 12, every week will pro-vide an exciting matchup.

    mens basketball

    Browne looks to take on new role in 2013-14 seasonBy kevin hooker

    sports writer @dailyathenaeum

    The West Virginia Uni-versity mens basketball team looks almost brand new in 2013.

    Over the summer, Aaric Murray, Keaton Miles, Jabarie Hinds, Aaron Brown and Volodymyr Gerun parted ways with the program. Head coach Bob Huggins and his team also lost forwards Deniz Kilicli, Dominique Rut-ledge and guard Matt Humphrey to graduation.

    With no seniors on this seasons team, West Virginia will rely on its veteran players for leadership.

    Junior guard Gary Browne enters his third season with the Moun-taineers and will likely split time with Juwan

    Staten at the point guard position.

    As a sophomore, Browne played in all 32 games with 12 starts. He averaged 5.6 points per game and 2.8 rebounds per game in 20 minutes of action, and was third on the team with 48 assists.

    Browne, who originally hails from Puerto Rico, played with his national team this summer, which he says prepared him bet-ter this offseason.

    I feel like last year I didnt work as hard as Im working right now, Browne said. Working with the Puerto Rican na-tional team helped a lot and gave me a lot of confi-dence. It made me realize how much I have to work in order for to me to have a good season.

    During the 2012-13 season, the Mountain-

    eers were No. 9 in shoot-ing percentage among Big 12 Conference teams, which perhaps explains Brownes abysmal 33 per-cent shooting percentage from inside the arc.

    The Mountaineers also ranked No. 6 in three point field goal percent-age, shooting just 32 percent.

    Better shot selection will be a key of emphasis for West Virginia in 2013-14, and Browne said it is something that he works on every day.

    If you dont (practice) constantly, then you wont constantly be ready in the game, Browne said. So if I dont work on my shot constantly, then I wont make them (throughout the season). This season is a whole rebuilding year for me, so Im trying to work hard enough to help

    my team.Browne was part of a

    Mountaineer team that finished with just 13 wins last season, which marks Huggins worst win-ning percentage since he started coaching in 1980. West Virginia failed to make the NCAA tour-nament for the first time since 2006.

    Despite their down-ward spiral in recent years, the Mountaineers have brought in several new freshmen this sum-mer who look to contrib-ute right away.

    We want them to know what to expect, Browne said. I feel like the young guys are do-ing a good job of that and (are) doing a good job of keeping up with the (upperclassmen).

    For only being with the team for three sea-sons, Browne and for-ward Kevin Noreen are the longest tenured play-

    ers on roster. In past sea-sons, the Mountaineers could rely on senior lead-ership from Kevin Jones or Darryl Truck Bryant for consistent support.

    While hes not a senior, Browne said hell have to step into a bigger leader-ship role this season.

    I feel like (the upper-classmen) are working hard enough to make sure that were the ones who lead, he said. As upper-classmen, we know what to expect, and weve been through a bad season. We just want to make sure everyones on the same page.

    ap

    Baylor to face tests in coming weeksWACO, TEXAS (AP)

    This is when the fifth-ranked Baylor Bears and everybody else find out if they are for real.

    For all their ridicu-lous offensive numbers, their highest ranking in 60 years and reaching November as the Big 12s only undefeated team, coach Art Briles and the Bears (7-0, 4-0 Big 12) feel as if their season is really just getting started. Here come the big tests.

    Up next for Baylor is its first ranked opponent this season, at home Thursday night against No. 12 Oklahoma (7-1, 4-1). That starts a season-ending stretch of games that includes playing ev-ery other team in the top half of the conference standings.

    Were in a proving business, and this is our job to once again prove where we stand as a foot-ball team, said quar-terback Bryce Petty, the fourth-year junior in his first season starting. A challenge for us, but a challenge that weve been waiting for a while. I think everybodys going to em-brace that.

    Arguably the most an-ticipated game in Baylor history starts a five-week span when the Bears also play 25th-ranked Texas Tech, at No. 15 Okla-homa State and then later their regular-sea-son finale against Texas, the only other team that hasnt lost a Big 12 game. They also have to go to ri-val TCU.

    Were ready and will-ing and anxious to get into the grind time, said Briles, in his sixth season after taking over a pro-gram coming off 12 con-secutive losing seasons. Get into where were fighting and scraping for every single thing thats out there.

    Baylor has won a

    school-record 11 games in a row since its 42-34 loss at Oklahoma last season.

    The Bears, outscoring teams by an average mar-gin of 48 points this sea-son, are listed as a two-touchdown favorite even though they have lost 21 of 22 games in their series against Oklahoma. They are the national leader with 718 total yards and 64 points a game.

    The lone Baylor victory against Oklahoma was an-other prime-time game two years ago, when Rob-ert Griffin III threw the winning TD pass with 8 seconds left for a 45-38 win that denied the Soon-ers a national title shot.

    It started to open a lot of peoples eyes to what Baylor could do and what we are capable of, said receiver Tevin Reese, whose eight TD catches match teammate Ant-wan Goodley for the Big 12 lead. It has changed a lot in the past few years. Im pretty sure Baylor was never the favorite in a lot of games. Being the favor-ite in a big game like this a good thing for this team. It helps build our confi-dence and makes it hard to stop us.

    It also helps that the Bears are 4-0 against Top 25 teams at home the past two seasons. They started the 2011 season with a win over then-de-fending Rose Bowl cham-pion TCU, more than three months before Grif-fins signature victory that likely clinched his Heis-man Trophy.

    I definitely think that this game was huge for him, so I want to carry that on, said Petty, the Big 12 passing leader with 350 yards a game, along with 18 TDs and only one interception. I want to do whatever I need to do to help my team be success-ful and come out of this thing with a win.

    Petty was still on the sideline last November when Kansas State arrived in Waco as the No. 1 team in the BCS standings. Nick Florence was in the mid-dle of his own record-set-ting season for Baylor, which beat the Wildcats 52-24 to wipe out their championship chance.

    Before the Bears can even think about a na-tional title shot, they have to take care of their Big 12 business. Baylor hasnt won an outright conference champion-ship since Mike Singletary was a linebacker in 1980 for a Southwest Confer-ence title team. It shared the SWC title in 1994, only because unbeaten Texas A&M was ineligible and the Bears were among five teams with a 4-3 SWC marks.

    Still, Baylor was getting plenty of attention last weekend without playing a game.

    It was awesome, some-thing that hasnt been in the past, linebacker Sam Noll said about what he heard and saw watching other games. It kind of showed us how big this game is, and how impor-tant it is. It makes you want to prepare to your maximum ability so you can go out and win that big game.
