SGA signs generate violations

BY TRAVIS CRUM CITY EDITOR

More than four violations have been filed against Board of Governors candidates for the Student Government Association at West Virginia University over the usage of campaign signs.

Tasha Frazie, SGA election’s chair, said she and fellow SGA Elections Chair Grace Altimus have filled out most of the vi-

olations because candidates from the Pirate Party placed signs inside classrooms on Monday.

BOG candidates with violations are Phillip Berry, Courtney Bertol, Charles Reidpath and David Small.

According to the SGA elections code, a candidate can be issued a fine of no less than $10 or more than $200 per decision by the SGA Judicial Board.

“What Grace and I do is

take pictures of the signs with our phones where they are located,” she said. “Only Grace and I can remove them, and we give them back to the candidate.”

Altimus said the candidates have been notified they can face a possible fine. The Pirate Party members Amadou Toure and presidential candidate Daniel Brummage also have $20 fines for missing a required candidate meeting

on March 17. The Fusion Party’s Steve Orlowski and Allison Rollins will also be fined for missing the meeting.

Frazie and Altimus also made an announcement Tuesday requiring every candidate to remove large campaign banners from the residence halls. All of the banners were removed the same night, she said.

The week’s campaigns have been going smoothly despite

how close the candidates are on both tickets, she said.

To deter campaign violations from happening, such as “dorm storming,” Frazie said she and Altimus are working with the Residential Assistant Council to receive feedback.

Built-in tables for laptops nearing end of construction in Armstrong by lydia nuzum staff writer

Renovations of West Virginia University’s Armstrong Hall now include the installation of recessed work desks that allow students or faculty to charge laptop computers and do schoolwork in the building.

Eddie Fuller, the chair of the Mathematics Department, housed by Armstrong Hall, said the recesses were inspired by those who currently exist in the Mountainlair. ‘“We have students who spend downtime between classes here,” Fuller said. “We thought it would be convenient for them to have a place to work between classes.”

The newest installation, a laptop table located on the third floor, would eventually have seating for students, Batson said. The station currently does not have wireless internet access.

“Essentially what we’re trying to do is give students more work surfaces, more areas to get things done,” he said.

Renovations to Armstrong Hall have also included a new paint job to the interior of the building.

“We’re just trying to spruce it up a bit, make it more aesthetically pleasing,” said Jeff Haught, Facilities Management Operations manager.

Haught said work on Armstrong Hall, related to painting and retouching, would be concluded in the near future.

The money to repaint Armstrong came from an operations and maintenance budget, but Haught was not sure of the exact cost of the project.

City Council: Meet the fourth ward candidate

By Devon Unger Staff Writer

The fourth ward is one of Morgantown City Council’s seven seats that will not be contested during April’s elections.

Jenny Selin, who is completing her second term on City Council, will again represent the fourth ward. The ward has 2,680 registered voters residing in Evansdale and parts of Suncrest.

Selin was asked by neigh-

bors to represent her ward on the city’s planning commission nine years ago and decided a run for City Council was the next logical step.

“I said I would be the representative from my ward on the planning commission. So that’s where it started, I found that an interesting and productive way to be part of my community,” she said.

Selin works as the coordinator for WVU’s Community Design Team. She has lived in Mor-

“The atmosphere in Morgantown is where a family can move here and feel included in community activities pretty much from day one,” she said. “It’s a very accessible community that makes people feel friendly with one another. I want to continue to maintain that attitude.”

Improving signage in Mor-

gantown is one of Selin’s priorities. She said she would like to make it easier for newcomers to find their way around the city, and hopes that would help make Morgantown more inclusive.

Selin serves as the City Council representative on the Sunnyside Up: Campus Neighborhoods Revitalization Corporation board and said she is impressed with its success.

SGA hears details about new club sports facilities

By Charles young

Construction continues on the third floor of Armstrong Hall where a computer station will be available for students.

when they get back to their rooms,” Frazie said.

She said there have been no instances reported of dorm storming, but there is still a week left of campaigning.

Fines issued for violations are the discretion of the SGA Judicial Board.

Voting for SGA elections will be held April 5 to April 7 on MIX.

Representatives from Mylan Park and the Office of Student Organizations at West Virginia University gave a presentation on the new club sports facility being constructed during the Student Government Association meeting Wednesday night.

“This (facility) is something students have fought for, for probably 30 years now,” said SGA President Chris Lewallen, who worked on the project in the past. “This is probably one of the greatest things that’s ever happened for students.”

The facility, which was secured by University President James P. Clements in September, will cost approximately $8.4 million.

Lewallen said the first phase in the construction was to renovate St. Francis Fields, adjacent to Towers and the Rec Center.

The construction will include one grass soccer field, one turf soccer field, four flag football fields, five tennis courts, walking trails and renovations to ex-

isting structures.

“As you know, WVU doesn’t have very much green space, so we need to look at a place where we can go and put extra fields and capitalize on the space and areas we have,” Lewallen said.

He said along with the new facility, club sports is also set to receive an increase in funding by $25,000 per year over the next six years.

Craig Walker, the president of Mylan Park, said he was excited about the partnership between the park and the University.

“We are thankful to have this relationship with the University and, more importantly, with the students,” Walker said.

During his presentation, Walker outlined the features of the new facility.

These include boxing rings, indoor field hockey and soccer fields, practice space for competitive dance and cheerleading, indoor practice space for softball and baseball as well as

Author, advisor and innovator John Kao plays piano during his presentation at the Creative Arts Center Wednesday as a part of the Festival of Ideas.

Author encourages maintaining, improving innovation in America

BY CONOR GRIFFITH CORRESPONDENT

Author John Kao demonstrated that innovation is more than simply science and technology by playing the piano during the Festival of Ideas series Wednesday night at the Creative Arts Center.

The author of “Innovation Nation” spoke to an audience of more than 50 to break down the importance of maintaining and improving innovation.

“A world more competent is a better world, but changes the innovation game in America,” Kao said.

There are 30 countries currently pouring resources into improving innovation

that are competing with the United States.

Countries such as Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Spain and Qatar are heavily invested into innovation to improve the welfare of their people.

He said the University of Helsinki in Finland, for example, has an entire academic field devoted to innovation.

“Innovation should matter to all of us,” he said. “It’s a collective of perspectives, methods and points of view.”

The lecture also examined how easily society assumes “innovation” is a synonym for “good.”

He described creativity as being “the universal human

ideas

Innovation comes from thinking from a beginner’s point of view with sense of urgency because beginners are more open to new ideas and are not in their comfort zones.

“What you don’t know can be more important than what you do know,” he said.

He expressed optimism in society’s ability to use innovation to solve the problems of the world stating, “in the end all we can do is do our best.”

The lecture was well met by

students present but left some wanting more.

“I was hoping he would expand on what was already written in his book. It felt rather summarized,” said Kirk Auvil, a sophomore print journalism major.

He added Kao was well rounded with the piano.

“I did like his example of Abu Dhabi,” said Sam Richardson, a sophomore biology and French major. “That one wasn’t in his book, and

it was cool to see something different.”

Both Auvil and Richardson had a copy of “Innovation Nation” for Kao to sign after the lecture.

The David C. Hardesty Festival of Ideas will conclude next week on April 5 with a lecture by Sheril Kirshenbaum, researcher and author of “The Science of Kissing: What Our Lips Are Telling Us.”

He said WVU currently does not have a space to hold baseball tournaments, and the new field would allow for that. The facility would also include storage space for club sports teams and their equipment.

“The University will have priority on the inside of the facility

during the Fall and Spring semesters,” he said.

Walker said construction on the facility will be completed when students return for the Fall semester.

Also during the meeting, Vice Chair Ali Mols presented a proclamation of support for Nelson

France and his run for a position on Morgantown’s City Council.

France currently serves as SGA’s liaison to the council.

It passed unanimously and signed by all four SGA election candidates.

Davis College to relaunch national dean search West Virginia University’s Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources & Design will be reopening its search for the dean position after three finalists for the position met with faculty, staff and students in February.

Jonathan Cumming, associate provost for Graduate Academic Affairs at WVU; Peter Kennelly, head of the Department of Biochemistry at Virginia Polytechnic Institute; and State University; and Soji Adelaja, director of the Land Policy Institute at Michigan State Univer-

sity, were chosen to run as finalists, but the committee declined to hire any of the candidates.

Each candidate received a forum for students and faculty of the Davis College, where the audience was able to give feedback about the finalists and their goals for the college.

There is no known timetable of when a decision will be made or any further progressions to the selecting of the dean.

Panel upholds fines against Massey mine CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A federal appeals panel has upheld $761,000 in fines for flagrant safety violations at a Massey Energy Co. coal mine in Kentucky, the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration said Wednesday.

The decision by the Mine Safety and Health Review Commission involves fines issued for violations found in 2006, MSHA said.

Inspectors found the violations while following up a tip about weak roof conditions at Massey subsidiary Stillhouse Mining LLC’s Mine No. 1 near Cumberland, Ky. Massey hadn’t followed proper procedures after the mine’s ventilation fan shut off, leading to one citation, MSHA said. The mine also was cited for illegally changing its ventilation plan, not following a roof control plan and for failing to adequately inspect the mine for safety problems.

“No miner should be subjected to the kinds of conditions that were found at Stillhouse Mining,” MSHA director Joe Main said in a statement.

Flagrant violations involve reckless or repeated failure to

try to eliminate known violations of health and safety laws that could cause death or serious injury. Such violations carry fines up to $220,000.

MSHA said it has issued 142 citations for flagrant violations since 2006, but 92 remain on appeal.

“Although the case was not resolved for more than four years, we are extremely pleased with the judge’s decision and will continue to use this important enforcement tool in our ongoing efforts to keep mine operators accountable,” Main said.

Massey had no immediate comment.

The fines are the latest safety problem for Massey. The troubled Richmond, Va.-based coal company owns the Upper Big Branch mine where 29 miners died in an explosion April 5, 2010. The blast at the southern West Virginia mine is the deadliest in the U.S. since 1970. It is the subject of ongoing civil and criminal investigations.

Massey itself has agreed to a $7.1 billion buyout by rival coal producer Alpha Natural Resources. That deal is expected to close this summer.

Fire hazard closes state complex in Institute INSTITUTE, W.Va. (AP) — The Department of Rehabilitation Services building complex in Institute has been closed because of electrical problems that the state fire marshal says are an imminent threat to workers.

Fire Marshal Sterling Lewis ordered the complex’s immediate closure on Monday. He also ordered the immediate shutoff of electrical power.

Following a mid-February

inspection, Lewis said severe problems with the electrical system and wiring were found at the complex. The Fire Marshal’s Office asked that the Department of Administration relocate all 168 employees at the site within 60-90 days.

“There were a number of fire hazard and life-safety hazards that dealt with electrical systems down there,” Lewis said.

Budget talks aimed at avoiding shutdown resume WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional negotiators struggling to prevent a government shutdown next week are working on a proposal built around $33 billion in spending cuts over the next six months – considerably less than tea party activists demanded.

The tentative split-the-differences plan would end up where GOP leaders started last month as they tried to fulfill a campaign pledge to return spending for agencies’ daily operations to levels in place before President Barack Obama took office. That calculation takes into account the fact that the current budget year, which began Oct. 1, is about half over.

The $33 billion figure, disclosed by a congressional aide familiar with the talks, is well below the $60 billion-plus in cuts that the House passed last month. But it does represent significant movement by Senate Democrats and the administration after originally backing a freeze at current rates.

Tea party-backed GOP lawmakers want more. With a tea party rally set for Thursday on Capitol Hill, it’s unclear how many of the 87 freshmen Republicans elected last fall could live with the arrangement between top Democrats and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Both sides said the figure under consideration is tentative at best and depends on the outcome of numerous policy stands written into the bill. Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said “there’s no agreement on a number for the spending cuts. Nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to.”

The White House said Vice

President Joe Biden and budget director Jacob Lew planned to meet Wednesday evening at the Capitol with Senate Democratic leaders.

A Democratic lawmaker familiar with a meeting Wednesday between Obama and members of the Congressional Black Caucus said the administration made it clear that some House GOP proposals restricting the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory powers would have to make it into the final bill. In order to characterize the White House’s position, the lawmaker insisted on anonymity because the meeting was private.

It’s not clear which proposals the White House might accept, but those backed by Republicans would block the government from carrying out regulations on greenhouse gases, putting in place a plan to clean up the Chesapeake Bay and from shutting down mountaintop mines it believes will cause too much water pollution.

While some conservatives appear insistent on the full range of spending cuts, others recognize that compromise is required to win Obama’s signature and support from Democrats who control the Senate.

“Compromise on the subject of spending is a tough sell.

It doesn’t mean it’s an impossible sell,” said freshman Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark. “There is a serious mandate to cut spending. Now having said that, I also live in a realistic world and I understand the dynamics involved in having one leg of a three-legged stool under our control.”

Far bigger fights are ahead on a longer-term GOP budget plan that takes a more compre-

hensive approach to the budget woes. Also looming is a mustpass bill to allow the government to borrow more money to meet its commitments. Republicans hope to use that measure to force further spending cuts on the president.

“I don’t believe that shutting down government is a solution to the problem. Republicans and Democrats need to work out a compromise,” said Rep. Charles Bass, R-N.H. “Let’s get this over with and get on to the budget.”

But Rep. Mike Pence, RInd., who earlier warned that “It’s time to pick a fight,” wants party leaders to hang tough.

“You never get a second chance at making a first impression,” Pence said. “Our first impression with the American people needs to be that we kept our word and we found the budget savings that we promised to find. I’m still cautiously optimistic that we’re going to do just that.”

The talks are between the members and staff of the House and Senate appropriations committees, who understand the details of the legislation better than the leadership offices that so far have conducted most of the negotiations.

“I’m glad that we’re beginning to have some conversations,” said Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky. “We hope to make them fruitful. We don’t want a shutdown, so we’ll do the best we know how.”

Boehner and his colleagues are still publicly calling for the Senate to pass its own version, and Boehner says the talks are going so haltingly that he doesn’t know the shape of any final legislation that Obama might sign.

Pres. Obama sets ambitious goal to reduce US oil imports WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday called for a one-third reduction in U.S. oil imports by 2025, reviving a long-elusive goal of reducing America’s dependence on foreign supplies as political unrest rocks the Middle East and gasoline prices rise at home.

Tackling an issue that has vexed nearly every U.S. president since Richard Nixon, Obama said the country can’t solve the problem with quick fixes and political gimmicks. But he offered little in the way of new initiatives, relying instead on a litany of energy proposals he’s already called for, including boosting domestic oil production, increasing the use of biofuels and natural gas, and making vehicles more energy efficient.

Obama also embraced nuclear power as a critical part of America’s energy future, despite increased safety concerns following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that severely damaged a nuclear power plant there. He vowed a thorough safety review of all U.S. plants, incorporating lessons learned from Japan, but said nuclear power still holds enormous potential for the U.S.

“We can’t simply take it off the table,” Obama said during a nearly hour-long speech at Georgetown University.

Moving the U.S. away from its dependence on foreign oil and toward clean energy technologies was a key part of the domestic agenda Obama outlined in his January State of the Union address. That agenda has since been overshadowed by events around the world, from the uprisings in the Middle East and subsequent U.S. military intervention in Libya to the humanitarian and nuclear crisis in Japan.

But with gas prices on the rise as the president readies his reelection bid, the White House wants to regain its footing on domestic issues before public anger over the spike in energy costs take hold. Gas prices have jumped more than 50 cents a gallon this year, reaching a national average of $3.58 a gallon last week, according to AAA’s daily survey.

Republicans have placed the blame for the spike in prices on Obama’s policies, arguing that the administration has been too slow in approving new permits for oil drilling and calling

on the president to open up areas along the Atlantic Coast and near Alaska, where drilling its currently banned.

“The problem is that Democrats don’t want us to use the energy we have,” Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday. “It’s enough to make you wonder whether anybody in the White House has driven by a gas station lately.”

The president struck back at that criticism during his speech, noting that his administration has approved 39 shallow-water drilling permits since new standards were put in place last year following the Gulf oil spill, and seven new deep-water drilling permits in recent weeks.

“So any claim that my administration is responsible for gas prices because we’ve shut down oil production might make for a useful political sound bite, but doesn’t track with reality,” Obama said.

Even if Obama’s efforts can reduce U.S. demand for foreign oil, experts say they’re unlikely to bring down the cost of gasoline, since oil is priced globally and increased demand from China and other developing nations continues to push prices up.

A Libyan child walks with a Libyan pre-Gadhafi flag during an evening demonstration in Benghazi, Libya, Wednesday. Rebels retreated Wednesday from the key Libyan oil port of Ras Lanouf along the coastal road leading to the capital Tripoli after they came under heavy shelling from ground forces loyal to leader Moammar Gadhafi.

US considers ‘all types’ of assistance for Libyan rebels WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Wednesday it is assessing options for “all types of assistance” to Libyan rebels battling Moammar Gadhafi’s troops, while frustrated lawmakers quoted senior Obama administration officials as saying the U.S. military’s role will be limited.

“No decision has been made about providing arms to the opposition or to any groups in Libya,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “We’re not ruling it out or ruling it in.”

Fresh battlefield setbacks are hardening a U.S. view that the poorly equipped opposition is probably incapable of prevailing without decisive Western intervention, a senior U.S. intelligence official told The Associated Press.

Gadhafi’s land forces outmatch the opposition by a wide margin and are capable of threatening the civilian resistance, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Obama’s director of national intelligence compared the rebel forces to a “pick-up basketball team.”

tough questions, from the cost of the operation to the increasing concern about the makeup of the rebels.

“They’re absolutely committed to keeping the U.S. role limited,” said Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore. “Nobody is making guarantees we’ll be out in two weeks.”

The top NATO commander has said he’s seen “flickers” of al-Qaida and Hezbollah among the rebels, but no evidence of significant numbers within the political opposition group’s leadership.

During the meeting, the intelligence chief, James Clapper, compared the rebel forces to a “pick-up basketball team.”

He indicated that intelligence has identified a few questionable individuals within the rebel ranks but no significant presence, according to lawmakers.

Members of Congress expressed frustration because administration officials couldn’t say when the U.S. operation might end.

Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said Clinton and Gates did not provide much information about the future in Libya.

“The main question I have is going forward, do we arm the rebels, what happens if Gad-

hafi holds on, what is our next move,” said Smith.

Smith said arming the rebels may make sense, but added, “I think we have to figure out who exactly we would be arming.

There are a lot of different rebel groups. I think we need greater intelligence on who is on the ground.”

Said Rep. Kevin Brady, RTexas: “The administration answered as well as they could, given the ambiguity of the situation.”

The Pentagon put the cost of the Libyan operation so far at $550 million. Blumenauer said officials estimated the cost could be $40 million a month depending on the length of the operation for the U.S. “It could be higher,” he said.

Lawmakers, especially Republicans, are smarting from what they consider a lack of consultation from the administration and Obama’s decision not to seek congressional authorization for the use of force.

The briefings – the Senate had a separate session later Wednesday – came 12 days after the no-fly zone began.

Obama did speak to congressional leaders the day before the military action began.

“I understand how evil Gadhafi is. I don’t understand the unwillingness to come to Congress first,” said Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore.

Students should focus on the issues during SGA elections Sam Viggiano columnist

Most people are familiar with Tina Fey’s film “Mean Girls.” In her brilliantly written, but brutally honest project, Tina Fey captures the cattiness and kindness of high school girl-world through the eyes of queen bee Regina George, Rachel McAdams and new girl Cady Heron, played by Lindsay Lohan.

Now place yourself at the West Virginia University Student Government Association Board of Governors presidential and vice presidential candidates debate that occurred Tuesday evening. This debate resembled a socially irate teenage movie.

Like in high school, the division between each party’s candidates and student support is blatantly obvious: Social popularity verses knowledge of social conflict.

If assigned a character, the Pirate Party would be the callous Regina George. Like any drones who wish to blend in with a crowd or crave social acceptance, it is questionable whether these students actually understand why they support their candidates because neither the president nor vice president responded intelligently to any question.

Each question, such as how to lower the cost of tuition and textbooks or how to support a student wellness center, was answered by presidential candidate Daniel Brummage with either an ambiguous answer such as budget cutting, or a personal attack on his opponent.

The Fusion Party would be represented by Cady Heron.

For each question, presidential

candidate Jason Bailey and vice presidential candidate Megan Callaghan spoke with incredible erudition toward lowering tuition and text book costs as well as how to support a student wellness center.

Vice Presidential candidate Callaghan spoke confidently of her concern for student health and suggested building a wellness center on campus with private facilities for students to seek counseling for multiple stresses, without intrusion.

Presidential and vice presidential candidates Brummage and Harmon lacked immensely in terms of preparation. Presidential candidate Brummage’s opening and closing remarks were filled with anticlimactic pauses and catty remarks about presidential candidate Jason Bailey’s educational endeavors and vice presidential candidate’s inability to complete a 501(c)(3) In terms of allocating funding, Brummage proposed doubling the funding for SGA to provide for other organizations.

He neglected to say where he would find this money and where it would go.

According to his ticket, more than half of the Pirate Party is made up of social fraternity or sorority members. It can be assumed that most of this funding will go toward social fraternities and sororities.

On the other hand, the Fusion Party suggests supporting diverse student organizations by doubling the funding provided through grants.

And while the Pirate Party plans on taking steps to prepare for change in social fraternity and sorority laws and the smoking ban, the Fusion Party is embracing the student population through student interviews, awareness and input to make

the best decision possible.

Unlike the Pirate Party, the diverse composition of members on the Fusion ballot makes up an impressive array of WVU students that, strangely, presidential candidate Brummage pointed out.

He noticed that each member of the Fusion party was involved in one or two University focused activities, whereas his ballot was mostly made up of athletes and fraternity members who weren’t involved in many projects.

Much to Brummage’s dismay, this focus of singular activities is admirable in many ways. Each candidate’s platform is focused toward their goal as a governor.

These candidates have specialized in a singular activity, such as presidential candidate Jason Bailey’s musical endeavors, in reaching out and representing the CAC and other art students.

Like a salad, the Fusion Party combines individual pieces that make up the whole product, with a uniform dressing that is their love for West Virginia University.

But much like the strategy used by Regina George, in order to beat Bailey, you must join him. In an undercover mission, Cady Heron mistakenly becomes the queen bee, the correlative opposite of herself.

Like the Pirate Party, the Fusion party responded to their opponent’s negative jests with more negativity.

Vice presidential candidate Callaghan claimed the Pirate Party chose students through Facebook popularity, yet she didn’t answer the question as to how the Fusion Party chose their ticket.

The Pirate Party had far more zealous supporters who, most

West Virginia University students listen to their candidates at the Student Government Association debate in the Blue and Gold Ballroom in Lyon Tower on Tuesday evening. importantly, have many different connections.

And like both fictional ladies, while trying to prove their point, all four candidates fell into their own trap.

For Tina Fey’s characters, by trying to outsmart and humiliate the opponent, Regina George and Cady Heronbecame their opponent.

Likewise, this debate consisted of catty remarks that had nothing to do with the topics at hand, which ultimately deterred from the debate topics.

All four candidates in the direct question round were accused of flakiness, disorganization, an inability to lead and an inability to start or complete their past assignments.

While they validated themselves in hard work and a shared standard belief that

progress takes time, all four candidates then proclaimed they would sacrifice their GPAs and major requirements in order to represent WVU. Do you think these candidates would make good leaders? Do you want WVU to be represented by over-achieving under achievers?

WVU already has a reputation as a “party school” and will likely maintain this reputation as long as students sacrifice their grades and majors in order for their various organizations to be represented in SGA. Likewise, a position in SGA will not propel anyone into a career.

The remarks by presidential candidate Brummage about candidate Jason Bailey using the presidency as a resumebuilder hit an all-time low.

Politics can be broken down into two words. The first word, “poli” meaning many, the second word, “tics” is a microscopic, blood sucking insect.

Therefore, caution should be used when facing these amateur politicians.

Don’t be afraid to use bug spray and repel those who do not understand the weight of the position.

The SGA Board of Governors should represent the student population at its finest. It is not an easy job or achievement for social organization members to collect.

As many platforms state, use caution, do not drink in too much phony dialogue, respect the tradition of excellence that WVU embodies and don’t be afraid to question these “mean girls.”

Reducing your meat intake can significantly improve overall health chris freyder the daily reveille uwire

Raised as a Catholic in the metropolitan area of New Orleans, I accepted that I would be asked to forego meat every Friday during Lent.

Ever since its discovery in 1839 by Dutch chemist Gerhard Mulder, protein, specifically animal protein, has been considered the nutritional centerpiece in our diets - trumping fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.

Derived from the Greek word proteios, “of prime importance,” the link between protein, good health and affluence has been culturally ingrained in Western society.

Meat has become the “soul” of most of our meals, and without it, our diets seemingly revert to pre-civilization drivel.

Under this deep-seated mindset, I viewed the absence of meat on Fridays during Lent as a sacrifice worthy of lamentation.

It was not until the passing of my grandmother from colon cancer during my early teens that I began to consider the correlation between animal protein consumption and various forms of cancer.

As rudimentary as my understanding of science was, I was convinced I could decrease any predisposition for colon cancer by increasing my intake of dietary fiber, a common notion in modern medicine.

However, I dismissed the diets of vegetarians and vegans as extreme, nutritionally deficient

and misguided.

But my mind was still open to any information further predicating the idea of greater health through increased consumption of plant-based foods and decreased consumption of animal-based products.

It was with this open mind that I fell upon the work of Colin Campbell, a decorated biochemist who has arguably conducted the most provocative nutritional and dietary research to date.

Although Campbell follows what could be considered a vegan diet, he has never promoted himself as either a vegetarian or a vegan, as he does not identify with the animal rights movement. Grossly detailed in his 2006 book “The China Study,” his mission is the improvement of human health and life.

For this very reason, his 27 years of extensive research have become incredibly attractive to me, as I can relate to his humanitarian goals.

His work originated through encounters with the impoverished and malnourished children of the Philippines, and his efforts to close what was known as the “protein gap” in the developing world.

Universities and health institutions across the world made it their mission to nurse these children back to health through what was deemed the most effective manner - increasing their animal protein intake.

Undeniably, the most common affliction throughout the Philippines was liver cancer, caused by a carcinogen known as aflatoxin. Disturbingly, it soon became clear to Campbell that

the children who were affected by liver cancer were part of the best-fed families and received the most animal protein in their diets.

Campbell used this intriguing observation as the groundwork for decades of experiments using both rodent and human cell lines to determine what was the cause of this animal proteincancer correlation.

Shockingly, Campbell found when higher than necessary animal protein levels were consumed in conjunction with common carcinogens, the expression of cancer was increased exponentially.

What is higher than necessary? Campbell’s book describes a diet of 10 percent protein (animal or plant) as necessary for growth, whereas Americans consume 15 to 16 percent on

average.

His findings suggest that chemical carcinogens do not generally cause cancer unless we consume these higher levels of animal protein, which promote and foster tumor development.

Soy, wheat and other forms of plant protein were never shown to have this effect.

In fact, his nutritional research concisely details how the intake of animal protein contributes to the onset of diabetes, heart failure and other chronic diseases.

I am not a vegetarian, but I now choose to limit my intake of animal food products.

And as inconvenient as Campbell’s findings seem to be, it would be intellectually dishonest for me to completely ignore their implications.

Spring Camp opens smoothly

Thoughts from camp: Day One It’s hard to take away anything concrete following the first day of spring football practice.

There’s no hitting. The players can’t wear protective padding outside of a helmet as per NCAA rules. The media gets to watch the last 30 minutes of practice, which doesn’t give us enough time to be the best judge of what’s going on.

Still, the first day of practice – especially with four new coaches and a completely new offensive system – is filled with interesting tidbits.

Here’s a few notes and comments I had from watching the first day of practice: zz When I showed up at practice Wednesday morning, I headed straight for the offensive side of the field to watch the new assistant coaches. I wanted to see how they interacted with their players.

I had talked offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, inside receivers coach Shannon Dawson and running backs coach Robert Gillespie, but I had never seen them coach.

The same can be said of Holgorsen.

And, while it was only 30 minutes, this offensive staff was significantly different compared to last year’s staff.

Bedenbaugh is the biggest change when compared to last year’s offensive line coach Dave Johnson. He seems to be more vocally demanding compared to Johnson, who was less demonstrative in the times I watched him.

Holgorsen was laidback in the last periods of practice.

He spent much of the last 30 minutes of practice near the sideline with Dawson, signaling plays in to the offense.

Head coach Bill Stewart did the same.

He was about 10 yards away from the action during pass skeleton drills and occasionally said a few words to players here and there.

That is no different from how he spent practices in the past. zz It’s too early to tell whether or not West Virginia’s offense is on the right track one day into spring camp.

It takes three days to implement much of the offense, and West Virginia will go over it as many as three more times this spring to make sure the team grasps it completely prior to the Gold-Blue Spring Game in April.

Any on-looker can see that Holgorsen’s offense has been successful over the last 11 years, and I have complete confidence in this staff. It will turn into one of the best in the country soon.

But, there is much more to an offense than a successful system and a powerful playbook.

Holgorsen spoke last month about how the success of this offense will depend on the effort and understanding his players have throughout the spring. zz Qu a r t e r b a c k G e n o Smith looked healthy. It’s hard to tell just by watching him drop back and pass or roll out and throw, but it seemed like his foot is almost back at 100 percent.

WVU will get a huge boost this spring from having more talented backup quarterbacks, as well.

Freshmen Brian Athey and Paul Millard showed some promise on Wednesday with their accuracy, arm strength and understanding.

They will be a step up from now-receiver Coley White, who spent last spring as the team’s lone quarterback while Smith recovered from another foot surgery. zz If anyone was worried about how defensive end Bruce Irvin would transition to become a full-time starter, forget about it.

Irvin was perhaps the most impressive player on the field on Wednesday. He continually dominated the offensive line and could’ve totaled about five sacks in just the last 30 minutes of practice.

On the offensive end, tight end-converted-slot receiver

West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart talks with Mountaineer offensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting Dana Holgorsen during the team’s first practice of spring camp Wednesday.

The Dana Holgorsen era officially began Wednesday when the West Virginia football team took the field for the first of 15 practices of its spring camp.

Changes by the Mountaineers’ offensive coordinator and head coach-in-waiting could already be noticed. West Virginia head coach Bill Stewart said his players picked up the changes fairly easily for the first day of camp.

“Today was Day 1, and it was a step in the right direction,” Stewart said. “They had a lot of effort and enthusiasm in their step. They were all glad to get out here because it has been a long winter.”

The players were in shorts and helmets for the first day, which Stewart said is a reason he’s not being over optimistic, yet.

“During Day 1 in shorts and jerseys, you can’t tell much about your team,” Stewart said.

“I just liked the way that they gelled today.”

The practice was the first time back for starting quarterback Geno Smith, who went through offseason foot surgery.

Smith participated in all drills Wednesday in quarterbacks’ typical non-contact

Athletic Department made $150K from parking changes Luck says AD failed to provide early notice of changes

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

The West Virginia University Athletic Department made nearly $150,000 from parking changes at WVU men’s basketball games during the 2010-11 season.

According to Athletic Director Oliver Luck, the decision to charge $20 to fans who parked in the WVU Coliseum lot during home bas-

ketball games this season and $4 to those using a shuttle service from other parking areas was beneficial to the Athletic Department.

He did admit, however, that the Athletic Department did a “bad job messaging and getting the word out” about the changes.

“I will take full responsibility that we didn’t get the word out early enough,” Luck said.

A press release was sent out to media members and released on the University’s Web sites Nov. 4 – one day before the first day the parking changes would occur.

“There were a handful of complaints about the mes-

saging. In terms of the substance of charging $20 to park there, I’ve gotten two or three emails, and that’s all,” Luck said earlier this month. “I’m sure there are more people that were upset. Any time you change anything, people get upset.”

The majority of the cars parked in the lot prior to this season were from Coliseum workers like ushers, security staff and concessions work-

ers. Those people parked in a separate area of the Evansdale campus were bussed to the Coliseum this season, Luck said.

“Nowhere else in the sports industry in this country do your game-day employees have the best parking,” Luck said. “It’s worked out great.”

WVU President James P. Clements said he was not involved in the details of the parking situation, and he is

unsure whether changes will be made for next season.

“One of the things that Oliver and I discussed was about communication. Whenever there is a change just to make sure the word gets out properly,” Clements said Wednesday.

In addition to the extra revenue gathered from parking at the Coliseum, football season

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you often might have to repeat actions or statements. You also might decide to take a course in communication. Even with this redundancy, you feel empowered and capable of realizing what you want. You have energy, resilience and endurance.

If you are single, your innate magnetism seems even more vital, drawing in many potential suitors. You might just date if you are unsure of your choices. If you are attached, you become more dominant; your partner might need more help than in the past. Understand the natural giveand-take of a relationship. Another PISCES reflects your issues and could make you a little nuts.

an older friend, relative or boss. Tonight: Count on a late one.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Reach out past your normal boundaries. Test ideas at the same time; discover where there might be a fallacy or two.

Consider a course or workshop. You could find this experience most rewarding. Tonight: Use your imagination.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Others make demands. How you handle a personal matter could change if you listen. Right now, this isn’t the best moment to add in new ideas. Wait a day, and give yourself that extra time to think and evaluate. Tonight: Topic change: Think “weekend.”

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Do you feel like you are trying to teach many old dogs new tricks and getting nowhere fast? You want to change your routine, but at what cost? Initiating anything right now is futile. Know that the situation will change soon. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. Surprises are ahead!

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Togetherness is always a worthy theme. Everyone has different comfort levels, as you understand. Let those around you express their needs. Don’t just go in and do, which is your frequent habit. Your ruling planet goes retrograde. Give yourself a break. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You understand where others are coming from. For whatever reason, you might feel like sitting on action. This approach is more than effective in the long run.

Time tests the validity of an idea. Tonight: Make weekend plans. Call your friends.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Focus on one task at a time. You could be exhausted by what goes on. Let others do what they want – they will anyway. Confusion appears to be the order of the day.

Go within and think through an issue. If need be, find an expert. Tonight: Stand back.

Perhaps an extra plant or two is in order, or perhaps some reorganizing. Listen to suggestions; especially pay attention to

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH You could be unusually playful, especially as you sense that little can be done right now. A meeting could collide with your thoughts. You aren’t changing any-

one, and no one is changing you. Look for a midpoint. Tonight: Start the weekend early.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC 21) HHHH Understand your limits, and don’t push beyond them. Getting what you want accomplished could be an unusual challenge. Do what you can, as an underlying theme of chaos runs through the day. A loved one or dear friend could honestly be confused. Tonight: Order in; make it easy.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might want to stretch and see why others think a certain way. You could be confused when dealing with these people. Even though you are 100 percent sure of a hunch, leave room to be wrong.

Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Realize that what is a “no” right now could change. Don’t get uptight, especially as the unexpected runs through your day.

Though you are often the source of excitement, right now others seem to deliver, with a punch! Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHHH While others seem to run in circles, you stay clear. You can wonder what is going on all you want. Instead, just move on what you think might be possible.

Maintain your sense of humor. Give others the space to be goofy. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

King hopes spring break training trip pays dividends at Occoquan Sprints By cody schuler

sports correspondent

The West Virginia rowing team will look to turn preparation into success this Sunday, as it travels to Fairfax Station, Va., to compete in the Occoquan Sprints.

T h e Mountaineers spent Spring Break in Lake Lure, N.C., training two to three times a King day, allotting the team some much-needed practice time.

Going into its first race of

the spring season, a March 19th competition in Raleigh, N.C., the team was unable to practice for 10 straight days due to high water in Morgantown, only getting into the water the day before the meet took place.

Practicing in the water is an invaluable asset to the team, WVU head coach Jimmy King said. “In baseball, players can work off of tees and pitch from a mound and get some work in. We have rowing machines and workouts, but nothing compares to being on the water,� King said. “The team had regular water conditions in Lake Lure, which led to better practice all around.�

The event will feature stiff competition from the likes of St. Joseph’s and Temple, as well as George Mason, the host of the Occoquan Sprints.

King and the team are excited for a rematch against GMU, who they met on March 19. “It gives us the chance to see if we picked up any speed against them,� he said.

With adequate practice this time around, King feels that this meet is like a “restart of the season.� “We’re eager to go out and see where we are; this will give us a better gauge as to where we stand,� he said.

No stranger to these waters, the Mountaineers raced

in the Head of the Occoquan Regatta in November, earning two medals in the second-tolast race of the fall season.

This time around, however, the race lengths will be shorter, and the tempo will be quicker.

Lineups for the event won’t be decided until this weekend, but a total of four boats will be competing.

The Mountaineers will race a varsity eight, varsity four, a second varsity eight and a novice eight.

The current weather forecast for Sunday is mostly sunny with a high of 57 degrees. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

Cleary hopes best is yet to come for No. 18 track

By Derek Denneny Sports Writer

After 10 West Virginia athletes qualified for the Big East Conference Championships last weekend, the No. 18 West Virginia track and field team will look to parlay its success into another victory-filled showing at the Colonial Relays. “We really came out with great intensity, and it really showed in our performances,� head coach Sean Cleary said. “We looked poised and focused and really ran great. That’s a preview of what is to come for us.�

WVU will look to use its momentum from last weekend to help them in the 50-team field, according to Cleary. “Last weekend was a great confidence boost for us,� he said. “We have to show up with that

gold jersey. He shared repetitions with freshmen Paul Millard and Brian Athey.

Another surprise on the field was junior Tyler Urban. The senior, who played tight end for the first three years of his career, lined up in the slot receiver position throughout practice and made two impressive catches over the middle. “I wouldn’t say he is a guy without a position, because he is a big slot receiver,� Stewart said. “He reminds me of the (Mike) Shanahan boy from Pittsburgh. He was his high school teammate. I see him in that role, and I see him getting into the backfield in the three back set.�

Inside wide receivers coach Shannon Dawson says the typical use of tight ends are not something this coaching staff buys into. “A true tight end, in the sense of the word, is a guy who puts his hand on the ground,� Dawson said. “(Urban) is a talented kid with a big body. He can move, and he has a lot of tools.

We have used guys like him in the past.�

If Urban continues to make plays like he did Wednesday, the expectation is for him to be on the field when the Mountaineers open the season on Sept. 3. “In my mind, it is about making plays because that is what is going to get you on the field,�

Dawson said. “If he keeps doing what he did today, he will play.�

Tyler Urban was a surprise.

He caught a handful of passes in the last few periods of practice from his new position and could give the Mountaineers an interesting offensive weapon. zz West Virginia introduced new wide receivers coach Daron Roberts on Wednesday, and I was more than impressed.

The Harvard graduate and Texas native talked as if he knew all of West Virginia’s traditions and had been at the school for years. He said that is one of the reasons he decided to come to WVU.

CHANGES

Continued from page 7 ticket prices have also been raised in accordance to a previous five-year budget plan the Athletic Department uses.

Luck has raised the ticket price for the Gold-Blue Spring Game from $5 to $10 this year.

In the past, the $5 would go directly to the WVU Children’s Hospital.

This year, those tickets will support both the West Virginia University Children’s Hospital and the Athletic Department. “Part of this – no matter if

it’s basketball parking, Spring Game tickets or the price of a hot dog – is looking at our peer institutions,� Luck said. “Can you park for free at Louisville or UConn? The answer is almost uniformly, no. “Some schools still do have Spring Game for free, but a lot of schools are charging money for spring games. It’s part of looking around and seeing what our competitors are doing. We certainly cannot afford to fall back in generating revenue.�

Clements said Luck has a “great business background.� “He’s coming in with fresh ideas – how to cut expenses

same intensity this weekend.�

Some of the top teams WVU will face this weekend include Virginia Tech, Temple and host William and Mary, but that does not worry Cleary. “We’re not worried about who we are racing,� he said. “We’re focused on running our best and throwing our best. If we do that, everything will fall into place.�

Keep an eye on thrower Terina Miller, who Cleary has described as one of the team’s hardest working members, and freshman Chene Townsend, who continues to impress.

‘Paul’ brings extraterrestrial laughs to cinemas Furry friends and pets welcome at All Pets Expo DAVID RYAN

A&E EDITOR

by ashlie walter I don’t like Seth Rogen.

There, I said it. The guy laughs at everything he says, and he steals scenes in movies for all the wrong reasons.

In “Paul,” however, Rogen may have found his dream part – a confused alien with a penchant for booze and drugs.

“Paul,” which premiered in theaters March 18, is a live action/animated comedy about an alien who’s lost his way.

Rogen stars as Paul, an alien who is single-handedly responsible for the icon image of extraterrestrials.

Since his capture in the Roswell days, Paul thought he was working with the government – but, as his usefulness draws to a close, he uncovers a sinister plot for his life’s end.

Fearing for his life, he runs and eventually crashes – like most aliens in cinema.

On his quest for freedom, Paul runs into two unsuspecting English comic book and science fiction enthusiasts Graeme Willy (Simon Pegg) and Clive Gollings (Nick Frost).

The two can’t believe their luck – meeting a real-life alien while on an American road-trip of paranormal hot spots.

However, his visitation proves a little troubling – while trying to help Paul out, they find themselves running for their lives and squarely in the center of a massive government conspiracy.

“Paul,” written by Pegg and Frost, is the latest in a series of films starring the pair.

The movie is a departure from their earlier works. “Shaun of The Dead” and “Hot Fuzz” were parodies of their genres:

A&E writer

UNIVERSAL

Alien ‘Paul’ shows his probing finger in the alien comedy ‘Paul.’ zombie gorefests and police action movies respectively.

In “Paul,” we see almost an homage to the science fiction genre, while at the same time, it maintains an adult edge throughout.

It’s also the pair’s first “American” movie. Set in America and not in some sleepy English town, the cast is rounded out with a stable of American comedic talent.

Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Jason Bateman (“Arrested Development”), Kristen Wiig (“SNL”) and Bill Hader (“SNL”) all shine in their roles, with Bateman’s twisted government agent is a particularly high note.

Pegg and Frost’s dynamic, however, may be wearing slightly thin. The two work great together, but they’re becoming too familiar with each other.

It feels like these roles aren’t

really differing from each other, but seem to be continuations – which they’re not.

However, they’re completely likable throughout and do get some good laughs from their awkward dynamic.

The real star of the show, however, is Paul. The character just works in idea, execution and visuals.

Even Rogen’s voice is entirely appropriate for an alien known for his crude, somewhat offensive behavior.

“Paul” is a sweet movie at heart that’s often outdone by its attempt to be crude. The movie offers plenty of laughs, but unlike its alien character, it isn’t out of this world.

Depp has more ‘Pirates’ adventures on horizon LAS VEGAS (AP) — Johnny Depp’s tour guide on his “Pirates of the Caribbean” voyages is plotting the course for a fifth installment even before the fourth movie sails into theaters.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he has a screenplay in the works for a fifth “Pirates” tale after May’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” comes out.

Based on the Disney themepark ride, the original three “Pirates” blockbusters ended up as a trilogy continuing the same key characters and story line. Bruckheimer says “On Stranger Tides” and future “Pirates” flicks will be standalone stories continuing the adventures of Depp’s woozy buccaneer Capt. Jack Sparrow.

Directed by Rob Marshall (“Chicago”), “On Stranger Tides” sends Jack on a quest for the fountain of youth.

Bruckheimer and Marshall showed off footage Tuesday at

CinemaCon, a Las Vegas convention of theater owners.

At test screenings of “On Stranger Tides,” “the audience told us what they loved about it is that it was fresh, it was new, it was a whole new story,” Bruckheimer said in an interview alongside Marshall. “So that will carry over into the next one, too, to give it something fresh and different.

As long as the audience embraces this one, we’ll certainly try to make another one. It’s really up to Johnny. He loves the character.”

Geoffrey Rush reprises his role as Jack’s rival, Barbossa, who has switched sides, no longer a pirate but a privateer sailing on the orders of the British monarchy. Penelope Cruz co-stars as the fiery daughter of the pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane).

Marshall popped the question about co-starring in the “Pirates” sequel over dinner with Cruz while he was direct-

ing her in the musical “Nine.”

“She jumped out of her chair and said, ‘Oh, my God. I’d love to. I’ve always wanted to do an adventure like this.’

So it was perfect,” Marshall said. “I had mentioned her to Jerry and Johnny, and immediately they said yes, that

seems exactly right. Because there are not that many people that really can match him.

He’s so unique, and he has so many different characteristics. Charisma and sex appeal. He’s funny and he’s athletic and he’s a strong actor. So who can match that?”

Tails will wag this weekend as part of the Second Annual All Pets Expo.

The event arrives at Mylan Park Expo Center April 1, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., April 2, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and April 3, 10 a.m. to 5. p.m.

Tickets are $6 per day or $15 for the weekend. Children six and under are free.

The event will raise money for local shelters and animal organizations, said Natalie Zellie of JNK Promotions.

“It is family friendly, and we hope to benefit the local animal shelters with pet adoption and giving these pets forever homes,” she said. “We donate the space to the shelters.”

Guests are encouraged and welcome to bring their furry animal friends to the event – something many people didn’t know about last year, Zellie said.

“We had about 10,000 people in our first year and a lot of people came to the expo and realized they could bring their pets, so they brought their pets the next day,” Zellie said.

Zellie said there will be an Ultimate Air Dogs – dock diving competition.

Ultimate Air Dogs is one of the premier dock jumping organizations in the country, with dogs jumping from a dock into a 35 gallon pool.

Dogs can compete or just jump for fun. Visit www.ultimateairdogs.net to register a pet.

John Lege will also feature a show called “That Guy With the Birds.”

Lege has volunteered at the Pittsburgh National Aviary, and he has been featured on WQED Multimedia “OnQ Magazine” and KDKA Pittsburgh Today Live.

“There will also be pet photography at the expo so people can bring in the pets and have them photographed professionally,” Zellie said.

In addition, there will be an animal show called “K9’s in Flight” with Gail Mirabella. Mirabella will showcase nationally recognized disc dogs and handlers and some top canine sports, such as frisbee and high jump.

Gail toured with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Baily Circus for four years and was named Best Animal Act in 2008.

Bwana Jim will be featuring a wildlife show. Jim is an experienced animal handler who presents a variety of wildlife.

The All Pets Expo is sponsored by 4 Paws Up Pet Bakery, The Exotic Jungle Pet Superstore, Extreme Reptiles and Animal Friends.

Local DJs aim to bring Daniel Tosh to WVU by jesse tabit a&e writer

West Virginia University has a chance to bring comedian Daniel Tosh to campus.

Tosh, host of Comedy Central’s “Tosh.0,” is challenging college students across the nation to upload videos to his website.

Tosh will choose the best video and shoot a live episode of his show from the contributor’s college campus.

Local musician DJ Yemi and his friend, Ric Hogerheide Jr., sophomore music production major, made their own recording Tuesday night at Shooter’s Lounge in Morgantown with plans to bring the comedian to campus.

Yemi said he captured video footage of people having fun at the club.

“We have about one more week of footage to shoot in addition to editing, deleting and making other tweaks,” Yemi added.

The competition was announced by Tosh on March 15 and will end April 8.

“We want to show that this is a fun school, and there will definitely be jokes in the final cut,” Yemi said.

Yemi is encouraging other students to direct and upload videos of their own and he is open to linking footage together.

Hogerheide said he’s a Tosh fan and originally decided to take part in the contest as a “spur-of-the-moment thing.”

“I thought my efforts were going to go nowhere,” Hogerheide said. “But within two hours of creating a Facebook page for the event, the site was liked by more than 3,000 people. My phone nearly exploded with notifications.”

Hogerheide is also a local DJ and said he is doing everything he can to raise awareness about the event.

“So many events have been generated through social media this year and hopefully this is something a lot of people can get involved in,” Hogerheide said.

More than 6,600 people have joined the Facebook page, with 469 “Maybe Attending” and 9,785 “Awaiting Reply,” as of Wednesday.

Hogerheide said he and Yemi still need input on what to include in their videos.

Yemi can be reached on Twitter @djyemi21 or comments can be made on the Facebook event page “F--- every other college, bring Tosh.0 to WVU.” “Maybe you’ve got the pukiest campus in the country.

Maybe your dorm room has a shrine to the Risky Business Girls. Whatever the argument, it better be good,” Tosh challenges those requesting he visit their campus.

For more information about the contest, visit www.danieltosh.com.

“We want WVU to win,” Yemi said. comedy central

Daniel Tosh is hosting a college competition based on the funniest web video.

Morgantown Dance company hosts sixth annual Spring Festival by ashlie walter A&e writer

The Metropolitan Theatre on High Street is dedicating a weekend to dance.

Morgantown Dance will be sponsoring the Sixth Annual Spring Dance Festival on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Liz Finklea, volunteer administrative director of Morgantown Dance Studio, said dance groups come from Morgantown and the surrounding counties such as Harrison and Marion counties in West Virginia and Greene and Fayette counties in Pennsylvania.

“This is a unique opportunity for the audience to appreciate many different groups of dancers and styles of dance in one show and for the dancers to share the stage in a noncompetitive setting,” Finklea said.

West Virginia University dance students will also be performing.

Alchemy Dance Project was founded in 2003, and Finklea said they are the area’s only semi-professional modern dance company and will be performing modern dance.

“There is wide range of dance from classical ballet to jazz to Bollywood fusion,” Finklea said.

The Morgantown Dance Studio, Morgantown Ballet Company and Morgantown Youth Ballet Company will be performing classical and contemporary ballet as part of the show.

The String of Pearls is a group of women aged 54 to 81 who will be showing their love of tap dance.

“In addition to proving that the golden years are filled with bright and shining moments, they inspire and amaze all who watch them perform,” Finklea said.

Also, the WVU Dance program will be performing a jazz and hip-hop piece.

Finklea said it is an exciting time as the dance minor program expands.

Other performers include: Annabel Timms School of Ballet in Bridgeport, W.Va.; Kathryn Baker, an alumna of Scoil Damhsa will perform Irish step dancing; Bridgeport High School Dance Ensemble; Kat and Co. Dance Studio, Morgantown; Momentum Center

for the Arts, Clarksburg, W.Va., under the direction of Michael Garber; Northern WV Performing Arts Academy, under the direction of Robyn Naugle; Pizazz Dance Academy in Sabraton, W.Va. Finklea said a master class is offered along with the festival.

Maureen Mansfield Kaddar will be offering an open modern class for festival participants and will be accompanied by her husband, Yoav Kaddar, director of WVU’s dance program.

Maureen received her bachelors of fine arts at Adelphi University in New York and has taught and directed dance at institutions such as Vassar College, Randolph College, DanceWave Brooklyn and The Paul Taylor School in NYC. Morgantown Dance is a not-for-profit community arts organization.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for children and senior citizens.

For more information, contact Liz Finklea, of Morgantown Dance, at 304-685-8312. morgantown dance
