Thirty Student Government Association Board of Governors candidates and four Athletic Council hopefuls participated in the first debate of the West Virginia University SGA election season Monday in the Blue and Gold Ballroom in Lyon Tower.

During the debate, BOG and Athletic Council candidates from the two parties, the Fusion Party and the Pirate Party, introduced themselves and their individual platforms

to the approximately 40 people in attendance.

Current SGA Vice President Ron Cheng moderated the debate along with Steve Funk, a senior accounting major, of the Lyon Tower Hall Council.

Cheng said he considered the evening a success, and he hoped candidates new to

SGA would learn from the experience.

“Everyone here has the competing fire,” Funk said.

“It’s going to be a close race.”

Five sets of candidates from opposing parties who shared the same platform were paired and alternated answering questions.

Julie Lippman of the Pirate Party and Nicole Crane of the Fusion Party debated issues of health and wellness.

On a question regarding the new student health facility, Lippman said she wanted all aspects of WELLWVU lo-

cated under one roof, including a disabilities office, the Carruth Center and Student Health, among others. But Crane said she would not support the building of a new facility until grant funding was secured.

Bryanna DeFazio of the Pirate Party and Isabelle Shepherd of the Fusion Party discussed issues facing the Creative Arts Center and art students. Both agreed the CAC is lacking a student lounge and eatery but disagreed on bringing CAC events downtown.

Shepherd said bringing events downtown would encourage more students to attend, while DeFazio said events should remain at the CAC, where the facilities are placed.

Candidates for the West Virginia University Student Government Association elections became official early Monday morning as banners dropped in the Mountainlair food court.

At midnight, the Fusion Party, headed by Gov. Jason Bailey and Gov. Megan Callaghan, and the PIRATE Party, headed by Chief-of-Staff Daniel Brummage and Gov. Joe Harmon, unveiled the members of their full tickets. Each ticket is comprised of 15 Board of Governors hopefuls and two Athletic Council candidates.

City Council: Meet the fifth ward candidate by devon unger staff writer

Two of Morgantown’s seven City Council seats will not be contested during April’s elections.

Marti Shamberger, who is completing her first term on Council, will maintain her seat representing the city’s fifth ward. The ward has 2,278 registered voters located in the Woodburn

neighborhood.

She decided to run for Council after former mayor, and fifth ward representative Ron Justice decided not to run in 2009. She said her friends and family encouraged her to run.

“They thought I was really qualified for the job, that I always kept people’s best interest at heart and I am a good listener,” she said.

Shamberger has lived in Morgantown for 26 years.

She works part-time as the finance manager at the St. John University Parish. She said she spends the rest of her time working as the mother of her two children, who attend high school in Morgantown.

She said the primary issues she wants to focus on in her upcoming term include preserving Morgantown’s neighborhoods and providing safe affordable housing throughout the city. She said she is

also a proponent of preserving neighborhood schools in the city.

“I believe this past term on Council, with the changing of the definition of family, I think it helps us meet that goal a lot better by preserving our neighborhoods,” Shamberger said. “I was disappointed with the decision to take the Woodburn School out of our neighborhood. I

Professors say cage-free eggs ‘unsustainable’ by lydia nuzum

Redding outlined three steps he felt necessary to educate people about sustainability: the environment, the economy and sustainability’s social impact.

Some professors of the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design at West Virginia University issued a statement to Dining Services regarding the viability and sustainability of the cage-free egg initiative.

Joe Moritz, associate professor and state extension poultry specialist for WVU Extension Services, said the Davis College was not consulted on the switch to the free-range egg system.

In March, Dining Services made a campus-wide switch to the use of cage-free eggs in all of the dining halls and the Mountainlair.

“I have concerns with describing cage-free production as a more sustainable practice that provides improved welfare,” Moritz said.

Based on scientific data, newer cage systems of egg production reduce environmental and carbon footprints, use less land, feed and energy, and reduce morbidity and mortality from disease and hen cannibalism, according to the issued

counterargument.

Moritz said representatives from both the Davis College and Dining Services met to discuss concerns about the new system. He said the meeting was positive, and he is hopeful communications between the two groups will be improved in the future.

Paul Lewis, professor and assistant director of Outreach Affairs at the Davis College, said he does not have a problem with Dining Services’ decision to switch to cage-free eggs, but with its justification for doing it.

“If you want to buy cagefree eggs that’s fine,” Lewis said. “But the justification that it is a more sustainable production, that’s just not true.”

Lewis said Dining Services should have looked to the United Egg Producers when making their judgment. The UEP is a national federated cooperative and represents more than 90 percent of all egg producing hens in the United States.

“We’re an academic institution,” Lewis said. “We

WVU is new home to more than 600 Asimov books, items

BY ALICIA ELKIN CORRESPONDENT

More than 600 books by renowned science fiction writer Isaac Asimov were donated to the West Virginia University Wise Library’s Rare Book Collection.

WVU alumnus Larry Shaver contacted WVU in 2003 to ask if they were interested in the books he had collected by Asimov. Over the years Shaver has donated more than 600 books and more than 50 other items such as games, audio recordings, videos and wall charts, said Harold Forbes, WVU’s rare books curator.

Shaver said he began collecting the books when he was in high school with his first purchase of “The Fountain Trilogy.”

“I was intrigued by the covers mostly I must admit, but once I had read them, I was hooked,” Shaver said.

Shaver later purchased several of Asimov’s works from dealers in Australia.

After 25 years of collect-

ing Asimov works, he ended up with more than 175 books.

He then decided to upgrade his collection and started seriously collecting by seeking better editions and signed copies.

One particular book Shaver purchased was a signed firstedition of “I, Robot,” which cost him $1,000 and a signed “Lucky Starr” series for around $4,000.

Shaver has found many rare and signed editions of books written by Asimov. However, there are about 20 titles in the recognized list of Asimov’s works that he has not found.

“I keep looking, though,” he said. “This past fall for example, I was able to obtain 54 essays that had only appeared in American Airlines in-flight magazine around 30 years ago.”

Once his obsession became too large for him to take care of, Shaver decided to donate his Asimov collection to WVU, which took the entire

“That collection truly belongs to WVU Libraries, not me.”

The Asimov collection, which now includes 38 signed editions, belongs to WVU and is under the care of Forbes, who has worked in the rare books room for 38 years.

When a student wants to view an Asimov book, or other rare book, they must make an appointment with Forbes. He

ensures they receive a lesson on how to handle the collection.

The rare books room has rules such as no pens, cameras or scanning equipment to ensure the preservation of the books, he said.

Gov. Allison Rollins of the Fusion Party squared off with Phillip Berry of the Pirate Party on club sports and Olympic sports issues, respectively.

Current SGA President Chris Lewallen said candidates from both parties handled the debate well.

“Both tickets had high and low points,” he said. “The Fusion Party was more energetic and enthusiastic.”

A debate between the president and vice president candidates will be held in the Blue and Gold Ballroom in Lyon Tower tonight at 8.

Obama on Libya: ‘We have a responsibility to act’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Vigorously defending American attacks in Libya, President Barack Obama declared Monday night that the United States intervened to prevent a slaughter of civilians that would have stained the world’s conscience and “been a betrayal of who we are” as Americans. Yet he ruled out targeting Moammar Gadhafi, warning that trying to oust him militarily would be a mistake as costly as the war in Iraq.

Obama announced that NATO would take command over the entire Libya operation on Wednesday, keeping his pledge to get the U.S. out of the lead fast – but offering no estimate on when the conflict might end and no details about its costs despite demands for those answers from lawmakers.

He declined to label the U.S.-led military campaign as a “war,” but made an expansive case for why he believed it was in the national interest of the United States and allies to use force.

In blunt terms, Obama said the U.S.-led response had stopped Gadhafi’s advances and halted a slaughter that could have shaken the stability of an entire region. Obama cast the intervention in Libya as imperative to keep Gadhafi from killing those rebelling against him and to prevent a refugee crisis that would drive Libyans into Egypt and Tunisia, two countries emerging from their own uprisings.

“To brush aside America’s responsibility as a leader and – more profoundly – our responsibilities to our fellow human beings under such circumstances would have been a betrayal of who we are,” Obama said. He spoke in a televised address to the nation, delivered in front of a respectful audience of military members and diplomats.

“Some nations may be able

to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different,” Obama said. “And as president, I refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action.”

Obama spoke as, in Libya, rebel forces bore down Monday on Gadhafi with the help of airstrikes by the U.S.-led forces.

His speech was his most aggressive attempt to answer the questions mounting from Republican critics, his own party and war-weary Americans – chiefly, why the U.S. was immersed in war in another Muslim nation.

So far, the nation is split about Obama’s leadership on Libya.

Across multiple polls, about half of those surveyed approve of the way Obama is handling the situation. A Pew poll out Monday found that the public does not think the United States and its allies have a clear goal in Libya – 39 percent of those polled said they do; 50 percent said they do not.

Amid protests and crackdowns across the Middle East and North Africa, Obama stated his case that Libya stands alone.

Obama said the United States had a unique ability to stop the violence, an international mandate and broad coalition, and the ability to stop Gadhafi’s forces without sending in American ground troops. The message to his country and the world: Libya is not a precedent for intervention anywhere else.

In essence, Obama, the Nobel Prize winner for peace, made his case for war. He spoke of justifiable intervention in times when the United States, as the world’s most powerful nation, must step in to help.

“In such cases,” Obama said, “we should not be afraid to act.”

Reaction to the speech in Congress tended to break along partisan lines, with Republicans faulting the president for what

they said was his failure to define the mission clearly.

“When our men and women in uniform are sent into harm’s way, Americans and troops deserve a clear mission from our commander in chief, not a speech nine days late,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, a member of the Armed Services Committee and head of the Senate Republicans’ political arm.

“President Obama failed to explain why he unilaterally took our nation to war without bothering to make the case to the U.S. Congress.”

Obama steered away from turning this into a country-bycountry dissection of the Arab revolts that are testing him at every turn. Instead, he spoke in sweeping terms to draw a connecting thread.

Citing a failure to act in Libya, he said: “The democratic impulses that are dawning across the region would be eclipsed by the darkest form of dictatorship, as repressive leaders concluded that violence is the best strategy to cling to power. The writ of the U.N. Security Council would have been shown to be little more than empty words, crippling its future credibility to uphold global peace and security.”

The president also sought to address critics who have said the U.S. mission remains muddled.

Indeed, he reiterated the White House position that Gadhafi should not remain in power but the U.N. resolution that authorized power does not go that far. That gap in directives has left the White House to deal with the prospect that Gadhafi will remain indefinitely. Obama said the U.S. would try to isolate him other ways.

He said that the tasks U.S. forces were carrying out – to protect Libyan civilians and establish a no-fly zone – had international support.

Nick launches anti-bullying campaign NEW YORK (AP) — The popular children’s television network Nickelodeon is the latest voice to raise awareness of digital bullying.

Nick, the most-watched TV network among kids ages 2 to 14, will begin an on-air public service campaign Monday featuring some of its stars offering advice on what young people should do when confronted with hostile texts, emails or Facebook posts.

The advice offered in one ad featuring Ashley Argota of “True Jackson, VP” and Gage Golightly of “The Troop”: Sign off the computer; don’t reply to a hostile messenger; block bullies from access; make a copy of the message to show to an adult you trust.

“It’s not tattle-telling,” Golightly says. “It’s standing up for yourself.”

The issue has received national attention after the suicides of teenagers who were cyberbullying victims. President Barack Obama held a White House conference on bullying earlier this month. Nick is collaborating with the advocacy group Common Sense Media, which has also worked with MTV and the Disney Channel

on spreading the word about the issue.

The hope is that the anti-bullying effort can become as pervasive and successful as campaigns calling for a designated driver who has not consumed alcohol when friends are out drinking, said James Steyer, CEO and founder of Common Sense Media, which offers reviews and advice for parents.

Miranda Cosgrove and Nathan Kress of Nick’s “ICarly” are also participating in the campaign, which will last for two years, said Marva Smalls, Nick’s executive vice president for public affairs.

“We are happy that our talent agreed to be a part of it because that would make it resonate even more for kids,” Smalls said.

Half of young people ages 14-24 said they had been the victim of cyberbullying, according to a survey conducted in late 2009 for The Associated Press and MTV. “We have to be laser-focused on finding solutions to the issue of cyberbullying,” Steyer said.

Nickelodeon is an important partner for its ability to reach kids as they’re just start-

ing to use the Internet and cellphones, he said. Nick is also publicizing Common Sense’s “Rule of the Road” for online behavior, urging young users to guard their privacy and assume that everyone in the world can see whatever they are posting.

Nick will also host a discussion board and have information available on its web page devoted to parents who want to learn about the issue.

Officials: plutonium found at Japan’s nuclear power plant TOKYO (AP) — Power company officials say plutonium has been detected in the soil outside of the stricken Japanese nuclear complex.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said in a statement that the plutonium was discovered Monday in five locations around the plant, which has been leaking radiation for nearly two weeks.

TEPCO official Jun Tsuruoka says the amounts were very small and were not a risk to public health.

Experts had expected traces of plutonium to be detected once crews began searching for it this week, since it is present in the nuclear fuel in the troubled complex.

Officials believe the contaminated water has sent radioactivity levels soaring at the coastal complex, and caused more radiation to seep into soil and seawater.

The Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant, 140 miles (220 kilometers) northeast of Tokyo, was crippled March 11

when a tsunami spawned by a powerful earthquake slammed into Japan’s northeastern coast. The huge wave engulfed much of the complex, and destroyed the crucial power systems needed to cool the complex’s nuclear fuel rods.

Since then, three of the complex’s six units are believed to have partially melted down, and emergency crews have struggled with everything from malfunctioning pumps to dangerous spikes in radiation that have forced temporary evacuations.

Confusion at the plant has intensified fears that the nuclear crisis will last weeks, months or years amid alarms over radiation making its way into produce, raw milk and even tap water as far away as Tokyo.

The troubles at the Fukushima complex have eclipsed Pennsylvania’s 1979 crisis at Three Mile Island, when a partial meltdown raised fears of widespread radiation release, but is still well short

of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, which killed at least 31 people with radiation sickness, raised long-term cancer rates, and spewed radiation for hundreds of miles (kilometers).

While parts of the Japanese plant have been reconnected to the power grid, the contaminated water – which has now been found in numerous places around the complex, including the basements of several buildings – must be pumped out before electricity can be restored to the cooling system.

That has left officials struggling with two sometimescontradictory efforts: pumping in water to keep the fuel rods cool and pumping out – and then safely storing – contaminated water.

Hidehiko Nishiyama, a spokesman for Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, called that balance “very delicate work.”

He also said workers were still looking for safe ways to store the radioactive water.

Student input in SGA necessary for success Once again the West Virginia University campus has been overrun by campaign ads and prospective candidates for the Student Government Association elections.

Two tickets are currently running for SGA: The Fusion Party is led by Gov. Jason Bailey for president and Gov. Megan Callaghan for vice president. The Pirate Party’s presidential candidate is Chief-of-Staff Daniel Brummage and vice presidential candidate Gov. Joe Harmon.

Students are urged to consider the candidates with stern sincerity and vote according to their qualifications.

Voting will begin on April 5 and will wrap up April 7.

In order to elect a respectable administration, students must take the time to find out which candidates have the best qualities for the job.

There is no way to know candidates’ characters or their knowledge just by reading posters that tell people to vote; voters need to participate.

When walking around campus, ask campaign supporters about important issues. Or, if possible, ask the candidate in person, who can provide specific goals and platforms.

Either way, supporters should be able to answer why the candidate is on the ballot. If not, he or she probably shouldn’t get the vote.

The same criticism goes for the candidates. They must be available for the voters to question. How can a candidate expect to win the election if the students do not know why they should vote?

Campaign supporters should also take additional involvement. Just wearing your candidate’s T-shirt around campus isn’t enough. Initiate conversations with voters and explain issues they might not be aware of – spread the word.

Attending the formal debates is the best way to get to know which candidates will most accurately represent the student population.

The first of three debates,

which was held in the Blue and Gold Ballroom in Lyon Tower, was a tremendous opportunity for the candidates to express their concerns of campus problems and how they aim to address them.

Current SGA Vice President Ron Cheng and Lyon Tower Resident Assistant Steve Funk acted as moderators, presenting tough questions to candidates. Some candidates answered with a quick and intelligent responses while others seemed to flop under the pressures stemmed from the 30- to 40-person audience.

A chance to get a first-hand look at the presidential candidates will be tonight at 8 in the

Blue and Gold Ballroom of Lyon Tower. Students must attend in order to legitimize the SGA election process.

The tea party’s effect on US has all but disappeared brandon muncy columnist

Not even six months ago, Republican candidates stormed into office from the thrust of grassroots groups fondly referred to as “tea parties.”

Marching and protesting for a more fiscally responsible federal government, the tea partiers sparked a promising movement for conservatives who had long feared an escalating fiscal crisis and growing federal government.

The conservative media praised the efforts of the tea parties, while the liberal media called them racist, radical and violent.

Of course, the liberal reaction to the movement was predictable as the “progress” for which they continuously strive was being threatened.

It is becoming more apparent that the liberal’s fear of a contracting federal government has just been a political ploy all along.

Recently, both major political parties proposed tax cuts. Unsurprisingly, Democrats could only muster the strength to propose about $4 billion in cuts, while the Republicans could only bring themselves to propose $57 billion in cuts.

Esteemed tea party candidate Sen. Rand Paul’s proposal of cutting $500 billion has mostly passed fallen on deaf ears.

Even Paul admits that %500 billion is only about a third of the problem, referring to the $1.5 trillion deficit to be incurred.

So, my biggest question is, do the tea partiers have a hangover from their “parties” leading up to the election?

With the Republican party only proposing $57 billion in cuts, where is the pro-

testing, marching and civil disobedience?

Moreover, where are the tea party candidates who promised to reign in the debt and whatever happened to the “Promise to America” that was being heralded as the Republican stand to calm the fiscal crisis?

The Senate Tea Party Caucus, which consists of Paul and Senators Jim DeMint and Mike Lee, were the only three Senate Republicans who rejected the Republican proposal because it is too weak.

Sen. Marco Rubio, who surfed into Congress on the wave of the tea party movement in Florida, refuses to join the Tea Party Caucus and voted with establishment Republicans on the $57 billion proposal.

Unfortunately, Rubio has done exactly what many Republicans have for nearly half a century. They have been riding the wave of fiscally responsible rhetoric, only to get into office and, in some cases, outspend the previous officeholders and further demonstrate that there is not a stone’s throw in difference between most Republicans and Democrats.

The latest turn in events, which is politicians riding a wave of rhetoric into office, shouldn’t surprise anyone who has paid a dime’s worth of attention to politics in their lives; this includes the tea party.

If the tea partyers are serious about controlling the debt, they can not grow complacent or content with the minor cuts Republicans propose. Anyone with political insight should understand that the Republican proposal is just a shell-game meant to tide voters over.

The tea partiers must remain persistent and call out liars such as Rubio, and they must continue marching and protesting until the establishment truly understands their resolve.

The debt doesn’t stop growing in the months between

Instead of hearing about the minuscule Republican proposal from the same talking heads who encouraged and praised

the tea party in the months leading up to November, we hear complaints about President Obama playing soccer in Brazil and The Muslim Brotherhood.

The tea party must demand that the budget remain a hot button issue in the media. They

also can not be led off track or let themselves be deceived into thinking the fight is over.

If the people behind the movement are to be considered as anything other than horses led to the water to drink, then they must continue to stay on

top of all budgetary matters and keep a watchful eye on the politicians who claim to represent their fiscal views.

The tea partiers need to get back to action and not relent until real fiscal responsibility has been reached.

America’s involvement in the Lybian conflict is separate from Iraq bilal ahmed daily targum uwire

As the United States becomes deeper involved in its third war in a Muslim state, comparisons with the war in Iraq are inevitably made.

Before any discussion of the two conflicts is made, it is important to note that differences between the wars in Libya and Iraq undeniably differentiate the two conflicts.

President Barack Obama continued his foreign policy trend of limiting U.S. combat involvement in Libya, while former President George W. Bush overwhelmingly devoted

large numbers of troops to overthrowing Saddam Hussein in Iraq – though sustainability concerns limited the number of soldiers he committed, as well.

There has been some international support for intervention in Libya, although these resolutions have advocated for a much narrower range of military options than explored in Libya. Even the Arab League vote has been regretted substantially by those who voted for it.

Libya has been overwhelmingly portrayed as a humanitarian conflict that will protect the lives of civilians, while Iraq was sold to the international community as a security action against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction primarily and a humanitarian

action secondly.

The bombing of Libya is somewhat similar to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization assault on Serbia, which saw the international community intervening to stop the destructive trend of regional politics.

It is worrying that, despite successes in the Slavic states, the United Nations is still skeptical about the capacity of ethnic tensions to ease in the region and these developments may be replicated in Libya.

Obama sought to differentiate himself from his Republican peers by committing troops to Libya while confronting real concerns in the state.

However, the basis for this commission is almost identical to that of Iraq. It became increasingly clear that a vic-

tory for Col. Muammar Gaddafi would set a powerful precedent in the Arab world that autocratic oppression of rebellious movements would lead to an end of political movements against the dictators in question.

American intervention in Libya would therefore prevent this eventuality and ally the U.S. with freedom and democracy in the Middle East, which is a similar justification to that which motivated direct action in the war in Iraq.

Iraq is a continuing military campaign, which has roots in an attitude of self-admiring support for democracy that both predated and survived the revelation Saddam Hussein did not pursue weapons of mass destruction.

This support was meant to portray that the U.S. was allied with pro-democratic movements in the Middle East, though they were certainly less noticeable until a Tunisian man resolved to set himself ablaze.

Libya is therefore another attempt to place the U.S. in a favorable light in the Middle East by offering itself as the vanguard of regional democracy and will have similarly complex problems later when these attempts run against American interests of maintaining stability and the export of oil from the region.

However, the most striking difference between Iraq and Libya is that Bush at least attempted to maintain a semblance of democracy by lubricating the months leading up

to the beginning of the conflict with a public relations campaign concerning the necessity of the conflict.

Obama, surprisingly enough, has begun the Libyan campaign with little consultation from elected representatives, worrying, as there is a weak withdrawal strategy from Libya similar to that of Iraq where thousands of troops are still stationed.

Let us not forget that Iraq was supposed to be a conflict concluded in a matter of months, not years. It seems reasonable to believe that Libya, while we are still stationed in Iraq, may become Obama’s Iraq.

The gap of history is so minuscule between the two conflicts that it would be inexcusable if this were the case.

30 Seconds to Mars, Cee Lo to perform by david ryan A&E editor

Alternative rock band 30 Seconds to Mars and hip hop singer-songwriter Cee Lo Green will perform at West Virginia University April 26 at the Coliseum.

New wave alternative electronic band CB7, fronted by 30 Seconds to Mars’ drummer Shannon Leto, will also perform.

Tickets go on sale for the concert Friday at 9 a.m. at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices.

The combination of rock and hip hop may be strange to some, but WVU events always aim for variety, said Ali Daly, public relations specialist for

WVU Arts & Entertainment.

“We’re excited about this particular event as it brings a good mix to the table,” she said. “While these artists have different musical styles, they each excel at entertaining.”

Local rapper and performer An0maly is excited for Cee Lo’s arrival in Morgantown after following him as part of other acts.

“I have been following Cee Lo since his days with Goodie Mob so it’s been really cool to see him progress and see how versatile he is,” he said. “He pretty much has conquered every genre, he is one of the best all-around artists in the industry.”

Los Angeles-based 30 Seconds to Mars has three studio

“30 Seconds to Mars is getting critical praise for its new album and has a powerful frontman in Jared Leto,” Daly said. “We were excited to confirm this dynamic lineup,

along with opening act CB7, which is a side project of Mars’ drummer.”

Altanta-based Cee Lo Green reached No. 1 in 2006 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the song “Crazy” as part of Gnarls Barkley. His latest song, “F--- You!” also reached No. 2 on the Hot 100.

“Cee Lo is finding incredible success right now with his single and is about to star in the new NBC competition show ‘The Voice,’” Daly said.

Tickets for the show go on sale Friday at the Mountainlair and CAC box offices. Prices range from $27 to $44. WVU students can receive $10 off ticket price with a valid ID. david.ryan@mail.wvu.edu

A bedazzled pink microphone on a mic stand made from a rifle?

The Revolution continued as Grammy award winner Miranda Lambert took the West Virginia University Coliseum stage Sunday night to combine all things pretty and badass, country and rock ‘n’ roll.

The audience was “saved by the grace of Southern charm,” as Lambert opened with her radio hit “Only Prettier,” which foreshadowed the spunky and energetic show to come.

With witty, revengeful hits centered around empowering women, Lambert’s live performance satisfied female and male fans alike, proving Lambert to be a pretty tough girl herself.

With fun and spiteful anthems like “White Liar” and “Gunpowder and Lead,” Lambert managed outstanding and powerful vocals while delivering a high-energy stage pres-

ence from start to finish.

Lambert took time to show audiences her softer side – delivering a beautiful acoustic rendition of her ballad “Dead Flowers,” which she performed while getting up close and personal to her audience: shaking hands and signing autographs without missing a note.

She delivered an intimate and touching performance of her hit “The House That Built Me,” with childhood family photos projected in the background.

Lambert dedicated “Love Song” to fiance and fellow country star Blake Shelton, and shared a little about her faith when performing “Heart Like Mine.”

“This is for any girl who isn’t prim and proper all the time and has a heart like mine.

No matter how many drinks I have or how many tattoos I get

– Jesus still hears every word I say,” Lambert said.

Performances like these remind us why the artist is up for the 2011 Entertainer of the Year Award by the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

Lambert is talented and successful but humble, and strives to give back to her audience, that she seemingly adores, by making them feel more like friends than fans.

“She’s by far my favorite female country artist. She inspires girls to be strong, independent women,” said Stephanie Smith, mathematics education graduate student.

The country princess also proved her rock ‘n’ roll roots, covering songs like “Rock ‘n Roll Hoochie Koo” by Rick Derringer.

“Miranda is just different from all the rest,” said Jonathan Hill, sophomore accounting major. “She sings about drinking, cheating and more adult issues than all the girly stuff that’s out there by female country artists – she has a broader audience than only teenage girls.”

Opening act Josh Kelley

surprised audiences with his smooth transition from pop to country with single “Georgia Clay.”

Kelley delivered a down-toearth performance, labeling the WVU crowd his “best audience ever.”

Up-and-coming country star Justin Moore proved he’s ready to be a headliner himself, delivering an energy-packed show, performing songs like “Small-

town USA” and “Backwoods.”

“I usually ask how many rednecks are in the crowd, but I figure if I combine the fact that I’m touring with Miranda and that I’m in Morgantown, every damn one of you are rednecks,” Moore said.

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAYThis year, you will naturally open up to different perspectives.

Someone often seems as if he or she wants to rain on your parade. Actually, what is going on has more to do with this person than with you. Make this year the one in which you stop personalizing problems. If you are single, you could find that others are drawn to you, but they could be, in your eyes, a real downer. How much responsibility are you going to take for someone else’s mood? You alone can decide. In general you tend to be lighter and easier. If you are attached, your sweetie can be difficult, but it works out ultimately. Learn not to react, and to let it go. It is but a phase. You can count on AQUARIUS. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH You negotiate your way through what many might feel is an untenable situation. You find your answer through conversations and caring. You might have wanted to do something very differently yet might not find the path immediately.

Tonight: Only what you want.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Extremes mark your decisions. You see life with renewed interest. You are in a period in which you will land on your feet no matter what. You could be overly tired and withdrawn. Push does come to shove very easily. Tonight: Up late.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH Reach out for someone at a distance. Your ability to understand others emerges, not that you are always in sync. You push hard in many different areas of your life and

cannot always integrate all that you must.

Tonight: Follow the music.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Come forward and share more of yourself. A partner could help you a lot, as you do him or her. Some of you worry about an interaction that could become an enormous drain. A boss could be unpredictable yet lucky for you. Roll with his or her moods. Tonight: Share with a special person.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Defer to those around you, for now. You do like to be on center stage, but it is also important to be able to step back. A conversation is awkward at best, whereas communication flourishes with people at a distance.

Relax. Tonight: Be with the one you love.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Pace yourself, knowing that a lot could change.

You might feel restricted financially by a situation. Find a way out. How much do you hold yourself back? However you move forward, listen to a partner’s feedback. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH You could feel restricted, but most of the restrictions are self-imposed on some level.

Do realize what you are doing rather than blame someone else. Opportunities come from partners, friends and associates. Tonight: Ever-playful.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Work through a sense of negativity or wishing a situation was otherwise. Push comes to shove with ease. You know what is happening. You understand a lot. Realize that much more could happen if you

relax. A boss or associate sees your efforts and your potential. Tonight: Happily head home.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Your optimism touches many people, but it most helps you. Keep asking and looking at key questions. Get to the root of what is occurring between you and a friend. Jealousy doesn’t always manifest itself in the same behavior. Every person is different. Tonight: Hang out with your pals.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Listen to someone you respect. You will head in a new direction once you gain a perspective of what is possible. A boss is tight or difficult, but don’t decide that this issue has anything to do with you. Tonight: Your treat.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Honor who you are, and act on your impulsiveness. Think in terms of gaining through spontaneity. You might try to see a situation in a different light, but right now you might have difficulty gaining that perspective. Remain on track. Tonight: Whatever suits your fancy.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Listen to advice from a partner who often seems very tense. Understand what is happening in your immediate circle. Investigate options that surround what might be an emotional decision. Open up a conversation. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. BORN TODAY Former British prime minister John Major (1943), former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs (1971), singer Pearl Bailey (1918)

‘Limitless’ a smart, effective and calculating thriller JAKE POTTS A&E WRITER

Let’s face it. If there were an option to take a pill to make our lives absolutely seamless, we’d be downing those bad boys without hesitation.

Unfortunately, this is the same line of thinking for Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) in this spring’s thriller/science fiction film “Limitless.”

Eddie Morra is an aspiring author suffering from writer’s block. After undergoing a lifetime’s worth of disappointments, he runs into his ex-brother-in-law Vernon (Johnny Whitworth) who introduces him to a drug that changes everything.

NZT, a newly invented and yet to be discovered drug, gives Morra the ability to tap into every nook and cranny

of his brain. Every bit of information that Morra has ever soaked in is now available at the drop of a hat and gives Morra the upper hand in every situation.

The drug takes Morra into the world of stocks and finances.

Predicting the falls and successes of different companies grants him the ability to multiply all of his earnings with no time at all.

So what could possibly be the downside to a drug that has only improved his life in every way possible?

While celebrating his recent victories, Morra drinks with some newfound friends and finds that the blackout experience is inevitable while under the influence of both NZT and alcohol.

But that’s not all.

When Morra’s supply runs low, his body reacts negatively, causing uncontrolla-

ble nausea and unbearable headaches.

Reaching out to other users of the drugs, he finds that other users are either hospitalized due to similar sickness, or dead.

The only downside found in the movie is a slight lack in action.

Sure, it’s not labeled as an action film, but its unique theme keeps it at arm’s length from really grasping any true path, which could be interpreted in a positive way.

As Morra’s life improves on the exterior, his internal battle with the drug’s side effects gets worse. Also, as the public’s awareness of this drug increases, Morra is looked to for a demand of the drug, although his supply is becoming quite limited.

Morra has to fight hand-inhand with his ex-wife to overcome the drug’s addictive qualities. While fending off

‘Sucker Punch’ is a fanboy knockout to the mind, body and soul ALEX MCPHERSON A&E WRITER

You will be battered, bruised and incoherent.

“Sucker Punch” assaults the senses and holds nothing back, leaving behind an empty shell of plot and allegory.

By no means is it a creative masterpiece, but it stays true to its name, which is a feat in and of itself.

In an “Alice in Wonderland”meets-“Inception” narrative, Babydoll (Emily Browning) is placed in a Vermont insane

Gluck Theatre to hold free movie screening today West Virginia University community members will be able to view a free screening of a new documentary today.

“Bouncing Cats” documents “one man’s attempt to create a better life for the children of Uganda through hip hop,” according to the movie’s synopsis.

According to the movie’s official site, in 2006, Abraham “Abramz” Tekya, a Ugandan b-boy and A.I.D.S. orphan

asylum by her vengeful stepfather; her only means of escape lying in the worlds within her head.

When her mind can’t handle the asylum, it recedes into a vision of a club acting as a front for shady dealings.

Instead of mental patients, the girls are dancers or worse, as the club is an inescapable prison.

The majority of the film is set within the club, breaking occasionally into even deeper misreality.

As Babydoll searches for objects that can lead to her liberation, she falls into new worlds where she embarks on im-

created Breakdance Project Uganda. The dream was to establish a free workshop that would empower, rehabilitate and heal the community by teaching youth about b-boy culture.

The documentary is currently touring around college campuses across the country.

The movie features interviews with Will I Am, and K’Naan and is narrated by rapper Common. The screening is open to all community members and begins at 6 p.m. in the Mountainlair Gluck Theatre with the movie starting at 6:30 p.m.

possible missions. Something as simple as pickpocketing a lighter becomes an epic battle against terrifying hobgoblins and an enraged dragon.

On her journeys, she is joined by the big-sister Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), the loosecannon Rocket (Jena Malone), the smart-talking Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), and the poised Amber (Jamie Chung).

Throughout their quest for seemingly simple items like a map and a knife, they battle samurai, zombie-nazis, robots and the odds themselves, to inch ever closer to freedom. They are guided by the Wise Man (Scott Glenn) who

throws out painfully cliche phrases while commanding their missions.

Blue Jones (Oscar Issac) and Madam Vera Gorski (Carla Gugino) round out the cast as the heads of the club, and therefore the asylum, and pose as the consistent villains of both fantasy and reality.

What baffles audiences the most will be changes from fantasy to deeper fantasy, as the idea of “real” is constantly blurred.

An easy way to tell the change in fantasy is a change in music, which plays a pivotal role in the film.

With a fantastic soundtrack

containing covers of both “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” and “Where is My Mind,” it really drives the “Sucker Punch” forward.

The visuals are, without saying, stunning and overbearing. They’re made to be painfully vibrant and noticeably over-the-top.

However, as the film is another notch in Zack Snyder’s belt, anyone expecting less is foolhardy.

Here’s the bottom line.

If you found the trailers to be an exploitation of women, you will not like this film.

If you find dragons, robots, zombies or samurai to be child-

ish, you will not like this film.

If you hate “Watchmen,” “300,” “Inception” or anything comic book related, you will not like this film.

But if you love fantastic worlds, insane action and surreal stories, “Sucker Punch” will not only be your movie, but your next Blu-Ray DVD preorder.

Enter the theater with zero expectations and suspended disbelief, and “Sucker Punch” will be a knockout every time.

Butler has chance to write his own ending A year ago next week, the final chapter of Da’Sean Butler’s otherwise remarkable collegiate career was written with the words “what could have been.”

His last play as a Mountaineer will likely forever be etched in the minds of many. As Butler lay grimacing in pain on the floor inside Lucas Oil Stadium in WVU’s Final Four game, many couldn’t help but think the career of the school’s most memorable player in the past 50 years had come to an end.

I was one of them.

Some say you tend to unintentionally block out your worst memories. That must be why I can’t remember much from those three minutes, despite having the scene develop directly in front of me less than 20 feet away.

The postgame atmosphere in the locker room was different, though. As always, Butler was surprisingly upbeat outside of saying he let his team down.

He and the WVU medical staff classified the injury as a “knee sprain,” but at the time, it seemed more like an optimistic wish.

Butler sat at his locker with ice on his knee and fielded what seemed like thousands of questions from the many media members who had flooded the room. He somehow remained positive.

Yet, as I stood there watching the school’s third leading career scorer and one of the most clutch players in the country promise his career wasn’t over, I had a hard time believing Butler.

to have done so at West Virginia – are gone.

It leaves the Mountaineers with a huge void to fill in what will be coach Bob Huggins’ fifth season.

“I think the thing that can be said for all those guys is they compete, you know, they step to the plate and compete,” Huggins said. “They’re good people who are going to be successful in whatever it is that they choose to do.”

The Mountaineers will lose more than 50 percent of their

offense and nearly 50 percent of their rebounding from this season. WVU’s leading scorer, guard Casey Mitchell (13.7 ppg), and its second-leading rebounder and best defender, Flowers, leave vacancies this season’s bench players will likely try to fill in the future.

In addition, junior forward Kevin Jones, who averaged 13.3 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season, said he will decide whether to declare for the NBA Draft after speaking with his family and

Huggins.

“The NBA is an option,” Jones said. “Like a lot of college athletes, I would like to play at the next level. I would like to explore that option as much as I can and see where it takes me.”

The 6-foot-8 junior, who was relied upon heavily this season, had a down year by his standards. Jones’ scoring average was down a bit from the 2009-10 season. In

5 questions heading into 2011-12 1. How will WVU manage losing its seniors?

West Virginia will be without seniors John Flowers, Joe Mazzulla and Cam Thoroughman – all recruits from former coach John Beilein. Those players were the most consistent members of the team in 2010-11.

2. Will WVU be as inconsistent?

After a year filled with surprise runs and droughts, West Virginia is going to have to become more consistently. Even particular players like forward Deniz Kilicli and point guard Truck Bryant are going to have to keep a more level head for success.

3. Who will be the starters?

If forward Kevin Jones decides to stay for his senior year, he and Bryant will be the key to the lineup. Kilicli, who made a few starts this season, will likely be a starter. Guard Dalton Pepper may start, as well.

That would leave an opening for a freshman to start for the first time since former forward Devin Ebanks did as a freshman in 2008.

4. Where will WVU find depth?

WVU will return just four players with significant experience and forward Kevin Noreen, who missed most of the season recovering from knee surgery. The Mountaineers will likely have to turn to their freshman class for depth in a similar situation to 2008.

5. Will WVU make the NCAA Tournament again?

With head coach Bob Huggins at the helm, WVU will always have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament. He will put together a group that defends well and has the ability to win when the team hits shots.

Jones, Ryan highlight WVU’s NCAA Championship showing

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

A little luck on St. Patrick’s Day allowed West Virginia wrestlers Donnie Jones and Matt Ryan to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

West Virginia head coach Craig Turnbull wished there could have been alittle more luck go the Mountaineers’ way, though. Jones and Ryan lost on the second day of competition and ended WVU’s season.

“We came prepared and expecting a stronger tournament than we had,” Turnbull said in a release. “For those coming back, we’ll be able to look at film and see where the guys need the most help and try to start building on their strengths.”

Turnbull did see promising sights in his young wrestlers, such as 133-pound Nathan Pennesi and 125-pound Shane Young, who gained valuable experience getting the chance to wrestle at the highest level of competition.

“Pennesi and Shane have room for growth but are headed in the right direction and will continue to be strong wrestlers for our program,” Turnbull said.

Jones was the only WVU

grappler to earn a first-round, first-session win on March 17.

He defeated Kent State’s Ross Tice by an 8-3 decision at the 165-pound level.

His second-day result proved to be less favorable, as he fell right away to Clarion’s Bekzod Abdurakhmonov, an Eastern Wrestling League opponent Jones defeated earlier in the season.

Ryan, at 184 pounds, was able to overcome a first-session loss to beat Illinois’ Tony Dallago 10-1 on a major decision. His streak continued with a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh’s Max Thomusseit. The tournament ended for Ryan in the third round of day two wrestlebacks when Joe LeBlanc of Wyoming earned the 12-3 major decision.

After falling 7-0 to Scotti Sentes of Central Michigan in the first session of 133-pound bouts, Pennesi got up for the second session and remained competitive.

Losing 4-3 to Oklahoma’s Jordan Keller, Pennesi put up quite a fight. Tied 3-3 at the end of regulation, it took a pair of overtimes before Keller earned a critical escape point on him. Pennesi finished his first season as a Mountaineer with a record of 24-8.

“Pennesi demonstrated as a

freshman that he has tremendous potential and that he may be a national champion one day,” Turnbull said.

Young’s pair of losses were close decisions.

Harvard’s Steven Keith slipped by with a 1-0 decision.

In the second session, Matthew Snyder of Virginia earned 1:40 of riding time at the very end of the match to seal a 5-4 victory.

Brandon Rader also saw a quick exit from the tournament, ending a storied career at West Virginia.

The Parkersburg, W.Va., native fell to Eric Grajales of Michigan and UNC-Greensboro’s Ivan Lopouchanski, ending his six years as a Mountaineer with a record of 70-23.

“Brandon ends with one of the finest careers in West Virginia history,” Turnbull said.

“He demonstrated a high level of resolve and determination throughout this year and gave his best effort in every match.”

Penn State won the NCAA title. It was the Nittany Lions’ first championship since 1953.

Arizona State’s Anthony Robles gained national attention for winning the 125-pound title despite being born with only one leg. matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia has hired Detroit Lions assistant secondary coach Daron Roberts as the WVU football team’s wide receivers coach. Roberts will also work extensively with the special teams units, according to a press release.

Roberts will take over the open assistant coaching position left by former wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway, who took the same position at Wake Forest earlier this month.

Roberts signed a two-year agreement in which he will make $200,000 per year. Galloway was in the second year of a two-year

$200,000 contract.

“We welcome Daron Roberts to West Virginia University,” said WVU football coach Bill Stewart in a release. “He has a solid coaching resume and will make an outstanding addition to our coaching staff.”

A call to Athletic Director Oliver Luck was deferred to the WVU Sports Information Department.

Roberts has spent the last two seasons with the Detroit Lions as assistant secondary coach. He led the practice and pregame defensive back drills, focusing on man-to-man coverage, plantand-drive, jam re-routes and zone-drop techniques. He installed the zone, man-to-man,

nickel and blitz packages for the defensive backs. He administrated blitz and coverage walkthru sessions and supervised the opponent scout team. Roberts also evaluated the weaknesses and strengths of free agent and draft eligible players, assisted with the in-house workouts of potential signees and administered defensive back workouts during college pro days.

He moved to Detroit after spending time with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was part of the Chiefs since 2007, when he was an unpaid intern, then a volunteer with special teams and quality control assistant on defense.

How dare I doubt him.

Saturday, nearly a year after that night, Butler proved me wrong by signing with the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs.

He will be on the team’s inactive roster for the remainder of the season, meaning he can practice with the team but can’t play in games.

Butler can play for the Spurs’ Development League team,

the Austin Toros, immediately, however.

If his ACL continues to heal and Butler can return to the form that helped him lead the Mountaineers to their second Final Four in school history, a chance to make the big league squad isn’t a far-fetched possibility for the Newark, N.J., native next season.

This comes after a year’s worth of rehabbing his torn ACL and injured MCL. He was also cut by the Miami Heat after being taken in the second

round of the 2010 NBA Draft.

It’s been a long journey, but Butler has finally made it.

It’s a story within itself. But if the day ever comes where Butler finally does get his shot to appear in even just one NBA game, it would be a storybook ending like none other.

With the injury behind him, the ability to write that ending is now in Butler’s hands – the way it should be. brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 8 Roberts graduated from Texas, where he was the student body president and majored in government. Roberts worked as an aide to Sen. Joe Lieberman for a year after graduation before earning a master’s degree in public policy and a law degree at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

“I am thrilled to have Daron Roberts join the West Virginia football family,” said WVU offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen in a release. “He is one of the brightest and most motivated young men in our entire profession. He will coach the wide receivers, and I know he will do a great job with the special teams.” anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia basketball players react to losing to Kentucky in the third round of the NCAA tournament.

Continued from page 8 addition, Jones saw a dip in his field-goal percentage, 3-point percentage and free-throw percentage. His rebounds per game went up from 7.2 per game to 7.5 per game.

“I need to spread my game out and make myself less of a one-dimensional player,” Jones said. “That is what I need to figure out before I make any decisions. Am I ready for that next level?

I want to make sure I am prepared.”

If Jones tries for the NBA, he will have until 11:59 p.m. on April 24 to declare for the NBA draft and can remove his name from the draft by 5 p.m. on June 13.

“If he wants to go declare for the draft, that is his decision,” said forward Deniz Kilicli. “It is his life, and I wouldn’t be mad at him.”

Kilicli is another player who will be key to the success of the Mountaineers next season, as he will most likely step into a starting role and be the Mountaineers’ inside presence.

“Next year it is going to be my job to step up and be a leader on this team,” Kilicli said.

The 6-foot-9 forward from Turkey is looking forward to next season due to the amount of experience he was able to secure this year.

“This year, I played more,” Kilicli said. “I actually played in the Big East and the NCAA Tournament. It is really great to have that experience, and over the summer, I am just going to work on my game,

especially my footwork.”

Guard Dalton Pepper will be back next season and point guard Truck Bryant will take the place of point guard Joe Mazzulla.

“Truck is a great point guard in his own right,” Jones said. “We have enough of the two of us to be a really great team next year.”

Just as Jones said, he expects himself and Bryant to be a large part of a WVU team that will feature a significant amount of inexperience.

As it stands now, the Mountaineers are set to welcome back forward Kevin Noreen, who missed much of the season due to knee surgery, five freshman recruits and a junior college transfer.

The incoming recruiting class is led by point guard Jabarie Hinds (Mount Vernon, N.Y.), power forward Tommie McCune (Saginaw, Mich.) and small forward Keaton Miles (Dallas).

“We have a lot of young guys coming in that are going to be hungry,” Jones said.

“With the senior leadership that Truck and I are going to have to provide, we are just going to have to take this team and show them the way WVU basketball plays.”

The young Mountaineers will have an opportunity to get acquainted quickly next season, as the team is taking a trip to Italy in August that will provide it the chance to play foreign competition as well as bond as teammates.

“The Italy trip will be great,” Kilicli said. “Since we will be such a young team, playing together will be important.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

2011-12 projected roster PG Truck Bryant – 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, senior F Kevin Jones – 6-foot-8, 260 pounds, senior F Deniz Kilicli – 6-foot-9, 270 pounds, junior G Dalton Pepper – 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, junior F Kevin Noreen – 6-foot-10, 235 pounds, freshman G Craig Carey – 6-foot-2, 160 pounds, redshirt junior F Jake Ferguson – 6-foot-6, 190 pounds, sophomore G Kenny Ross – 6-foot, 175 pounds, redshirt sophomore PG Jabarie Hinds – 6-foot, 160 pounds, freshman F Aaron Brown – 6-foot-5, 205 pounds, freshman F Tommie McCune – 6-foot-7, 185 pounds, freshman F Keaton Miles – 6-foot-7, 190 pounds, freshman F Dominique Rutledge – 6-foot-8, 230 pounds, freshman Biggest loss PG Joe Mazzulla Mazzulla will be missed not only because of his heart, but because of his ability to create offense. He was the person that made WVU run during Big East play and in the NCAA Tournament, so the Mountaineers will need to find another player to take over that role.

Player to watch PG Jabarie Hinds Hinds, a freshman point guard from Kevin Jones’ high school Mount Vernon (N.Y.), could be the best of the newcomers – and he will have to be solid.

Look for him to be the key to WVU running the fast break more effectively in 2011-12.

West Virginia will be without seniors John Flowers, Joe Mazzulla and Cam Thoroughman – all recruits from former coach John Beilein. Those players were the most consistent members of the team in 2010-11.

2. Will WVU be as inconsistent?

After a year filled with surprise runs and droughts, West Virginia is going to have to become more consistently. Even particular players like forward Deniz Kilicli and point guard Truck Bryant are going to have to keep a more level head for success.

3. Who will be the starters?

If forward Kevin Jones decides to stay for his senior year, he and Bryant will be the key to the lineup. Kilicli, who made a few starts this season, will likely be a starter. Guard Dalton Pepper may start, as well.

That would leave an opening for a freshman to start for the first time since former forward Devin Ebanks did as a freshman in 2008.

4. Where will WVU find depth?

WVU will return just four players with significant experience and forward Kevin Noreen, who missed most of the season recovering from knee surgery. The Mountaineers will likely have to turn to their freshman class for depth in a similar situation to 2008.

5. Will WVU make the NCAA Tournament again?

With head coach Bob Huggins at the helm, WVU will always have a chance to make the NCAA Tournament. He will put together a group that defends well and has the ability to win when the team hits shots.

Jones, Ryan highlight WVU’s NCAA Championship showing

By Matthew Peaslee Sports Writer

A little luck on St. Patrick’s Day allowed West Virginia wrestlers Donnie Jones and Matt Ryan to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

West Virginia head coach Craig Turnbull wished there could have been alittle more luck go the Mountaineers’ way, though. Jones and Ryan lost on the second day of competition and ended WVU’s season.

“We came prepared and expecting a stronger tournament than we had,” Turnbull said in a release. “For those coming back, we’ll be able to look at film and see where the guys need the most help and try to start building on their strengths.”

Turnbull did see promising sights in his young wrestlers, such as 133-pound Nathan Pennesi and 125-pound Shane Young, who gained valuable experience getting the chance to wrestle at the highest level of competition.

“Pennesi and Shane have room for growth but are headed in the right direction and will continue to be strong wrestlers for our program,” Turnbull said.

Jones was the only WVU

grappler to earn a first-round, first-session win on March 17.

He defeated Kent State’s Ross Tice by an 8-3 decision at the 165-pound level.

His second-day result proved to be less favorable, as he fell right away to Clarion’s Bekzod Abdurakhmonov, an Eastern Wrestling League opponent Jones defeated earlier in the season.

Ryan, at 184 pounds, was able to overcome a first-session loss to beat Illinois’ Tony Dallago 10-1 on a major decision. His streak continued with a 6-5 win over Pittsburgh’s Max Thomusseit. The tournament ended for Ryan in the third round of day two wrestlebacks when Joe LeBlanc of Wyoming earned the 12-3 major decision.

After falling 7-0 to Scotti Sentes of Central Michigan in the first session of 133-pound bouts, Pennesi got up for the second session and remained competitive.

Losing 4-3 to Oklahoma’s Jordan Keller, Pennesi put up quite a fight. Tied 3-3 at the end of regulation, it took a pair of overtimes before Keller earned a critical escape point on him. Pennesi finished his first season as a Mountaineer with a record of 24-8.

“Pennesi demonstrated as a

freshman that he has tremendous potential and that he may be a national champion one day,” Turnbull said.

Young’s pair of losses were close decisions.

Harvard’s Steven Keith slipped by with a 1-0 decision.

In the second session, Matthew Snyder of Virginia earned 1:40 of riding time at the very end of the match to seal a 5-4 victory.

Brandon Rader also saw a quick exit from the tournament, ending a storied career at West Virginia.

The Parkersburg, W.Va., native fell to Eric Grajales of Michigan and UNC-Greensboro’s Ivan Lopouchanski, ending his six years as a Mountaineer with a record of 70-23.

“Brandon ends with one of the finest careers in West Virginia history,” Turnbull said.

“He demonstrated a high level of resolve and determination throughout this year and gave his best effort in every match.”

Penn State won the NCAA title. It was the Nittany Lions’ first championship since 1953.

Arizona State’s Anthony Robles gained national attention for winning the 125-pound title despite being born with only one leg. matthew.peaslee@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia has hired Detroit Lions assistant secondary coach Daron Roberts as the WVU football team’s wide receivers coach. Roberts will also work extensively with the special teams units, according to a press release.

Roberts will take over the open assistant coaching position left by former wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway, who took the same position at Wake Forest earlier this month.

Roberts signed a two-year agreement in which he will make $200,000 per year. Galloway was in the second year of a two-year

$200,000 contract.

“We welcome Daron Roberts to West Virginia University,” said WVU football coach Bill Stewart in a release. “He has a solid coaching resume and will make an outstanding addition to our coaching staff.”

A call to Athletic Director Oliver Luck was deferred to the WVU Sports Information Department.

Roberts has spent the last two seasons with the Detroit Lions as assistant secondary coach. He led the practice and pregame defensive back drills, focusing on man-to-man coverage, plantand-drive, jam re-routes and zone-drop techniques. He installed the zone, man-to-man,

nickel and blitz packages for the defensive backs. He administrated blitz and coverage walkthru sessions and supervised the opponent scout team. Roberts also evaluated the weaknesses and strengths of free agent and draft eligible players, assisted with the in-house workouts of potential signees and administered defensive back workouts during college pro days.

He moved to Detroit after spending time with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was part of the Chiefs since 2007, when he was an unpaid intern, then a volunteer with special teams and quality control assistant on defense.

How dare I doubt him.

Saturday, nearly a year after that night, Butler proved me wrong by signing with the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs.

He will be on the team’s inactive roster for the remainder of the season, meaning he can practice with the team but can’t play in games.

Butler can play for the Spurs’ Development League team,

the Austin Toros, immediately, however.

If his ACL continues to heal and Butler can return to the form that helped him lead the Mountaineers to their second Final Four in school history, a chance to make the big league squad isn’t a far-fetched possibility for the Newark, N.J., native next season.

This comes after a year’s worth of rehabbing his torn ACL and injured MCL. He was also cut by the Miami Heat after being taken in the second

round of the 2010 NBA Draft.

It’s been a long journey, but Butler has finally made it.

It’s a story within itself. But if the day ever comes where Butler finally does get his shot to appear in even just one NBA game, it would be a storybook ending like none other.

With the injury behind him, the ability to write that ending is now in Butler’s hands – the way it should be. brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 8 Roberts graduated from Texas, where he was the student body president and majored in government. Roberts worked as an aide to Sen. Joe Lieberman for a year after graduation before earning a master’s degree in public policy and a law degree at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

“I am thrilled to have Daron Roberts join the West Virginia football family,” said WVU offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen in a release. “He is one of the brightest and most motivated young men in our entire profession. He will coach the wide receivers, and I know he will do a great job with the special teams.” anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 8 addition, Jones saw a dip in his field-goal percentage, 3-point percentage and free-throw percentage. His rebounds per game went up from 7.2 per game to 7.5 per game.

“I need to spread my game out and make myself less of a one-dimensional player,” Jones said. “That is what I need to figure out before I make any decisions. Am I ready for that next level?

I want to make sure I am prepared.”

If Jones tries for the NBA, he will have until 11:59 p.m. on April 24 to declare for the NBA draft and can remove his name from the draft by 5 p.m. on June 13.

“If he wants to go declare for the draft, that is his decision,” said forward Deniz Kilicli. “It is his life, and I wouldn’t be mad at him.”

Kilicli is another player who will be key to the success of the Mountaineers next season, as he will most likely step into a starting role and be the Mountaineers’ inside presence.

“Next year it is going to be my job to step up and be a leader on this team,” Kilicli said.

The 6-foot-9 forward from Turkey is looking forward to next season due to the amount of experience he was able to secure this year.

“This year, I played more,” Kilicli said. “I actually played in the Big East and the NCAA Tournament. It is really great to have that experience, and over the summer, I am just going to work on my game,

especially my footwork.”

Guard Dalton Pepper will be back next season and point guard Truck Bryant will take the place of point guard Joe Mazzulla.

“Truck is a great point guard in his own right,” Jones said. “We have enough of the two of us to be a really great team next year.”

Just as Jones said, he expects himself and Bryant to be a large part of a WVU team that will feature a significant amount of inexperience.

As it stands now, the Mountaineers are set to welcome back forward Kevin Noreen, who missed much of the season due to knee surgery, five freshman recruits and a junior college transfer.

The incoming recruiting class is led by point guard Jabarie Hinds (Mount Vernon, N.Y.), power forward Tommie McCune (Saginaw, Mich.) and small forward Keaton Miles (Dallas).

“We have a lot of young guys coming in that are going to be hungry,” Jones said.

“With the senior leadership that Truck and I are going to have to provide, we are just going to have to take this team and show them the way WVU basketball plays.”

The young Mountaineers will have an opportunity to get acquainted quickly next season, as the team is taking a trip to Italy in August that will provide it the chance to play foreign competition as well as bond as teammates.

“The Italy trip will be great,” Kilicli said. “Since we will be such a young team, playing together will be important.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

2011-12 projected roster PG Truck Bryant – 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, senior F Kevin Jones – 6-foot-8, 260 pounds, senior F Deniz Kilicli – 6-foot-9, 270 pounds, junior G Dalton Pepper – 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, junior F Kevin Noreen – 6-foot-10, 235 pounds, freshman G Craig Carey – 6-foot-2, 160 pounds, redshirt junior F Jake Ferguson – 6-foot-6, 190 pounds, sophomore G Kenny Ross – 6-foot, 175 pounds, redshirt sophomore PG Jabarie Hinds – 6-foot, 160 pounds, freshman F Aaron Brown – 6-foot-5, 205 pounds, freshman F Tommie McCune – 6-foot-7, 185 pounds, freshman F Keaton Miles – 6-foot-7, 190 pounds, freshman F Dominique Rutledge – 6-foot-8, 230 pounds, freshman Biggest loss PG Joe Mazzulla Mazzulla will be missed not only because of his heart, but because of his ability to create offense. He was the person that made WVU run during Big East play and in the NCAA Tournament, so the Mountaineers will need to find another player to take over that role.

Player to watch PG Jabarie Hinds Hinds, a freshman point guard from Kevin Jones’ high school Mount Vernon (N.Y.), could be the best of the newcomers – and he will have to be solid.

Look for him to be the key to WVU running the fast break more effectively in 2011-12.

WVU NOTEBOOK

Flowers named to All-American team West Virginia senior forward John Flowers was named to the 2011 Lefty Driesell Defensive AllAmerican team earlier last week.

He was one of only two Big East Conference members to make the team.

Flowers finished second on WVU’s all-time leading season blocked shots list behind former forward D’or Fischer. Flowers finished fourth in career blocked shots with 157.

The 2011 Lefty Driesell Defensive Player of the Year will be announced at the CollegeInsider. com awards banquet on Friday in Houston. The award is named in honor of coaching legend Lefty Driesell, who is the only person to ever win 100 games at four different Division I schools.

Goldthorpe named honorable mention WVU star Carrier wins 100-meter hurdles All-American after NCAA performance

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

by ethan rohrbaugh sports writer

Jared Goldthorpe of the West Virginia men’s swimming and diving team earned an Honorable Mention AllAmerica status for his performance at the 2011 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.

Goldthorpe and fellow sophomore Mandie Nugent of the Mountaineer women’s squad were the only WVU representatives at the swimming portion of this year’s NCAA Championships.

The women’s meet was held in Austin, Texas, from March 16-19, while the men’s portion was held in Minneapolis from March 24-26.

Goldthorpe, a New South Wales, Australia, native

needed a fast swim in the Indy G r a n d Prix’s lastchance qualifier to punch his NCAA ChampionGoldthorpe ship ticket, and went on to place 10th overall in the championship’s 200 back.

His time of 1:42.17 in the event broke the school record and earned him the All-America title.

In his only other event, the 500 free, Goldthorpe swam to a 36th place finish.

Nugent, a Greater Manchester, England, native was in her second NCAA Championship go-around, as she

qualified for last season’s edition as a WVU freshman.

The 2011 Big East championship’s co-swimmer of the meet finished 17th overall in the National championship’s 200 fly, as Nugent missed a second-swim opportunity in the event by just five-hundredths of a second.

She also placed 31st in the 100 fly and 57th in the 500 free.

The championships closed the books on the 2010-11 season in which both Mountaineer swimming teams finished in the top four at the conference championships and achieved top 10 rankings in the www.CollegeSwimming. com/Avidasports Performance Rankings. ethan.rohrbaugh@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia standout Chelsea Carrier continued her dominance in 2011 last weekend for the WVU track and field team. She won the 100-meter hurdles this weekend at the Stanford Invitational. “Chelsea has been the heart and soul of this team since we began the winter season,� said head coach Sean Cleary. “She’s been consistent all year and has been a great motivator for the team.�

Carrier, who finished the race in 13.27, qualified for the Big East Conference championships.

Nine other Mountaineers also qualified for the Big East championship this weekend.

Freshman Chene Townsend also qualified for the 100-me-

ter hurdles with a 14.02 showing.

Three of WVU’s 1,500-meter runners qualified for the Conference Championships.

The trio included Keri Bland (4:22.76), Kaylyn Christopher (4:25.17) and Stephanie Aldea (4:33.44).

Junior Meghan Mock’s fourth-place showing in the long jump (5.7 meters) and Katelyn Williams 11th place finish in the high jump (1.71 meters) were both enough for conference championship qualification.

April Rotilio also qualified for the Big East championships in the 400-meter dash (57.76) and 200-meter dash (24.38). “Our runners made the nation-wide trip in hopes of returing with Big East bids,�

Cleary said. “We did just that.

WVU to face Morehead State in Charleston

BY BRAD JOYAL SPORTS WRITER

The West Virginia baseball team will be 156 miles from Hawley Field when it plays Morehead State today.

In the box score, though, the Mountaineers will still be the home team. WVU will host the Eagles at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W.Va., today at 6 p.m. “It’s always one of the highlights of our season to play in Charleston because it is our state’s capital,� said coach Greg Van Zant in a release. “We really enjoy playing in the southern part of the state so more Mountaineer fans can see us play a baseball game. “They have an unbelievable park down there; it is extremely well run and nicely manicured.�

Winner of six of its last eight games, West Virginia (16-10) will look to win its second consecutive annual Mountaineer Diamond Classic, held at the home of the Appalachian Power, the Class-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

WVU’s throwers did not make the trip to Stanford, Calif., but participated in the Bill Van Horne Invitational in Wheeling, W.Va., over the weekend.

Terina Miller finished first in the hammer throw (50.61 meters) and Katlyn Shelar finished second in the pole vault (3.50 meters), both of which are Conference Championship qualifying marks. “We had a successful weekend and showed a lot of poise,�

Cleary said. “It was a great way to open up the outdoor season. We have to build on this success.�
