SGA candidates call for revote

BY CHARLES YOUNG AND TRAVIS CRUM DA STAFF

The four ticket leaders for the Student Government Association at West Virginia University met Monday to urge for a revote of last week’s elections.

Jason Bailey and Megan Callaghan, the Fusion Party leaders, and Daniel Brummage and Joe Harmon, the Pirate Party leaders, decided a revote would be best to help restore the students’ faith in SGA. The announcement

of the winners was scheduled for April 7 but was withheld due to multiple violations.

The revote is pending approval by SGA’s Judicial Board during tonight’s 8 p.m. meeting at the College of Law. The four candidates agreed there was “significant wrongdoing,” and a new vote would be best. During this election, a record number of campaign violations, more than 17, were filed against candidates from both sides. Violations included allegations of voter fraud committed

“This will help SGA’s image.

This has been, as I’ve talked about in the last couple weeks, a very negative campaign, a very negative turn SGA has taken this year with this election pro-

cess,” said SGA President Chris Lewallen.

“The student body needs to know that the right people were elected, and there was a fair process for everyone.”

No matter who wins the elec-

tion, the new administration will have to work on repairing SGA’s image and reforming the elections process, Lewallen said.

James Bailey, Judicial Board chair, said he was proud of the four candidates for their decision.

“There has been absolutely zero allegations made against any of these four candidates as individuals,” James said. “To step up and look at the decision and say, ‘Things were done wrong; we need to do it right’ takes a tremendous amount of leader-

Greek Week begins with talent show in the ’Lair

By Conor Griffith Correspondent

Greek Week started Monday with its annual talent show in the Mountainlair Ballrooms at West Virginia University.

More than 400 members of the Greek community came out to show support for their fraternity brothers and sorority sisters during the show, which featured performances by greek organizations from around campus.

The acts included parodies of pop music groups such as ‘N Sync and Lady Gaga, a Bollywood-style dance and individual music performances on the guitar and piano, among others.

The competition was divided between individual acts and group acts with each fraternity and sorority partnered Mallory Bracken/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM for the event.

The winner’s act was Alpha Omicron Pi, Sigma Alpha Mu and Tau Kappa Epsilon. The group performed a parody of various popular songs.

“I thought that Alpha Omicron Pi did the best job,” said Kaleb Hill, a junior marketing major who attended the talent show.

Courtney Hooper, a junior international studies and Spanish double major, member of the Chi Omega soritity and president of Phanhellenic at WVU, said the talent show is one of the most well-attended events of Greek Week.

Holocaust victims to be remembered today

by Lydia Nuzum Staff writer

The Hillel House and students at West Virginia University will participate in Holocaust Remembrance Day beginning today at noon in the Mountainlair.

“Unto Every Person There is a Name, Yom Hashoah International Holocaust Memorial Program” is a 24-hour uninterrupted ceremony where students and community mem-

bers will read names of those who died in the Holocaust, said Heidi Solomon, co-director of the Hillel House.

“It’s important that their names be read and their lives be honored,” Solomon said.

WVU has held annual Holocaust Remembrance Days for 14 years, Solomon said.

During the event, students are encouraged to volunteer and devote any amount of time reading 15,000 names over the course of

the event.

“If we were to do this every year, it would take roughly 400 years to read the names of the 6 million Jews that died,” Solomon said.

According to Solomon, 12 million people lost their lives in Europe during World War II. “It’s hard sometimes to wrap your mind around so many people,” Solomon said. “Reading their names gives a human aspect to it.”

Anyone is welcome to participate and read names during the event.

Every hour those involved will recite the Mourner’s Kaddish, a traditional Jewish prayer for the deceased.

Dina Hornbaker, a junior multidisciplinary studies major, said students are also able to schedule a time to read during the event.

The national chapter of the Kappa Sigma fraternity launched an investigation Monday into its West Virginia University chapter after an email was sent out alleging multiple incidents of hazing.

The email was sent at 10:30 a.m. Monday to Kappa Sigma’s national chapter, University Police, Student Organizations Services, Morgantown Police and The Daily Athenaeum.

The email’s sender said he had first-hand knowledge of multiple hazing violations Kappa Sigma members committed.

By midday, its national chapter opened an investigation, said Mitchell Wilson, Kappa Sigma executive director. The investigation will be complete within 14 days, he said.

“Basically the investigation consists of us reviewing the chapter’s activities during the course of this pledge period and just reviewing where they are in general in regards to what’s been alleged,” Wilson said.

Student Organizations Services and University Police also launched a search to find the sender to confirm the allegations.

By 8 p.m. Monday, the sender responded to the same

addresses. He said his email account was hacked.

“Various accounts, including this email account, have sent emails to various people without my consent. Please disregard all information as I cannot be sure of the validity,” the sender said in the email.

The sender refused to release his name but identified himself as a Kappa Sigma pledge member.

“A pledge that was kicked out for drug abuse had my password saved on his computer and wrote several emails to different people,” the sender said in the email. “I have read the email he sent, and none of what he said is true.”

President of WVU’s Sigma Kappa fraternity Keith Salnick said he was not aware of any investigation, and Kappa Sigma members have never participated in hazing of any kind. He also said no pledge was kicked out for drug abuse.

“It’s a little sketchy because the back and forth doesn’t seem credible,” Salnick said.

Director of Student Organizations Services Ron Justice said the University has to report all instances of hazing to national chapters as well as look into it themselves.

He said the University does not immediately start

Student arrested for false shooting report

By Joel Morales Staff Writer

An 18-year-old West Virginia University student was arrested Friday for falsely reporting a shooting incident in Sunnyside.

Alexander Kessinger, a freshman political science major, reported a shooting on Beverly Avenue on March 6, according to police reports.

Upon further investigation, the Morgantown Police Department found that no shooting had occurred.

“He was arrested for falsely reporting a police incident,” said Lt. Harold Sperringer of the Morgantown Police Department. “The 911 center was able to trace the phone records.”

Kessinger said he told the police he witnessed shots being fired.

Kessinger later said he only heard rumors of someone with an AK-47 was walking around the neighborhood.

“Over a month ago my friends and I were at a party

and things got out of hand,” Kessinger said. “There was word that someone had an AK-47 in the vicinity of Beverly Street, so I called the police and told them I heard there was a guy shooting a gun in that area.”

According to Kessinger, he told the police he heard the shots and for immediate action to take place.

He was worried the person with the AK-47 was coming toward him and his friends.

“I was afraid for my friends’ well being,” Kessinger said.

“They can’t be just putting people in jail for wanting to help their friends which is basically what they did that day.”

Kessinger knew he would not be able to post the $1,000 bail set for his release with his part-time income and had to have several friends help him post the bail.

Kessinger will attend another hearing to decide whether or not additional fines will be paid. joel.morales@mail.wvu.edu

themselves and their platforms and what they want to do, it’s an extremely strenuous process,” Bailey said.

“So, it’s not an easy decision to decide to put your candidates though all that again in any sort.

We are not just looking out for ourselves now, we are looking out for everyone who is on board with us.”

Callaghan said the revote would make sure students’ votes counted for the candidates they wanted to be elected.

Meetings between the SGA and University administration would determine details of the

revote.

The four candidates agreed to endorse a voting booth instead of online voting. The booth would need to be located in a central place and monitored by nonpartisan individuals, they said.

Lewallen said voting will take place before as soon as possible and before finals week.

Currently, the University uses Votenet for Homecoming and SGA elections. The system cost $5,500 and has the potential for voter fraud.

The event will begin with an address from Vice President of Student Affairs Kenneth Gray and will close with a speech from Hollee Temple, professor of law at WVU, at noon on Wednesday.

Yom Hashoah is a national program inaugurated in 1953, and Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed May 1 in the United States.

Tax revenues resuming pre-recession growth CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia officials are confident the budget year will end with a surplus and believe general tax revenues offer crucial evidence that the state has nearly climbed out of the recession.

With each month since this budget year began July 1, the state has brought in more general revenue than at the same point during any prior year.

That’s critical because the state had been in a two-year slide as the Great Recession took hold.

Until this year, the 2007-2008 budget year had been the historical high-water mark for general tax revenues.

March ended with $2.9 billion collected year-to-date, nearly 11 percent more than the state thought it would have by then. Besides being 11.2 percent higher than last year’s revenues at this point, it’s also 2.6 percent higher than March 2008, noted Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow.

“It’s a little bit of an increase, but it took three years to get there,” Muchow said. “That’s why you may have other states that are seeing increases, but there’s still some sense of pain out there.”

The Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government found as much in its most recent analysis of state tax revenue. Part of the University at Albany State University of New York, the institute looked at what states collected during the third quarter of 2010.

It reported that revenues were

up 4.5 percent when compared with the same July-through-September period in 2009. But revenues beat 2008 levels in only 10 states, the report said.

States also continue to struggle with the ever-tricky task of estimating future tax revenues, according to a March study by the Rockefeller Institute and the Pew Center on the States. During a 23-year period ending in 2009, states erred in projecting revenues by a median of 3.5 percent.

In seven of those years, states tended to overestimate revenues and invited deficit threats.

But they proved too conservative during the remaining 16 years and ended up with surpluses.

“Despite improvements in technology that forecasters say have made their jobs easier, errors in the annual revenue estimates have worsened,” the study said. “Revenues have become more difficult to predict accurately.”

West Virginia received credit in the study for revising forecasts more frequently during the recession. The study also noted that the state’s tax officials recently unified and overhauled its computer systems, winning an award last year from the Federation of Tax Administrators as a result. The new system “is seen as a major step toward producing improved revenue estimate,” the study said, and “suggests technology upgrades could help some states work toward more accurate estimate.”

West Virginia began April with

a $276 million surplus. The next two months will likely whittle that down: the general revenue budget has already received the year’s allotment of lottery proceeds. Because those transfers occurred earlier than scheduled, the budget has already received the $30 million estimated for this month, and the $32.9 million forecast for May. Those two months must see other revenue sources do much better than expected to offset the resulting shortfalls, which total $62.9 million.

“We feel we’re going to end the year with a surplus,” Muchow said. “It’s just a matter of how much.”

That’s mainly because key revenue sources, which also reflect economic activity, have fueled the bulk of the forecast-beating collections. Year-to-date revenues that exceeded estimates include corporate net income and business franchise taxes, by $79.5 million; personal income taxes, by nearly $55 million; severance taxes on the extraction of coal and other natural resources, by $39.7 million; and sales and use taxes, by $25.6 million.

That’s a marked improvement from last year, when the Rockefeller Institute ranked West Virginia among the weakest states for economic activity. The state’s unemployment rate also peaked in December, to 9.7 percent when adjusted for seasonal hiring trends and other factors.

That rate was its worst rate since November 1993.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The May 14 gubernatorial primary could be costly for liquor retailers in West Virginia.

State law bans retail sales of liquor on election days and Sundays. Since the primary falls on a Saturday, it will be a dry weekend for liquor sellers.

The state Alcohol Beverage Control Administration is notifying retailers to plan ahead.

“We just wanted to be proactive and notify the retailers in advance,” spokesman Gig Robinson told the Charleston Daily Mail. “I think that goes a long way and so people can plan effectively.”

merous years, and it was time for us to address it and make changes,” said Delegate Doug Skaff, D-Kanawha, who sponsored legislation lifting the ban.

“When you start taking away the limited number of Saturdays we have to sell, it can really affect those stores that sell the product and the taxes the state collects.”

The election day ban doesn’t apply to bars and restaurants, but the state is warning them to lay in a supply because they won’t be able to pick up last minute inventory.

“They just have to plan ahead,” Robinson said.

West Virginia mixed martial arts battles at least one year away CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Although the Legislature passed a bill legalizing professional mixed martial arts bouts during the recent session, it will likely be at least a year before competitions can be held in the state.

This is because the West Virginia Athletic Commission must train referees and judges and adopt rules for the competitions, Commission Chairman Steve Allred said.

The Legislature specified that the sport’s unified rules must be used in West Virginia. The unified rules are those used in every state where mixed martial arts have been sanctioned.

“This is a matter of the commission getting together with our legal counsel,” Allred said.

“We’ve not been deeply involved with rule writing in the past.”

Among other things, the rules prohibit certain types of holds and establish weight classes and round lengths, said Sam Minardi, a former member of the state Athletic Commission and

fice has estimated that last year’s special U.S. Senate election cost liquor retailers an estimated $1 million in lost sales.

West Virginia was among just a handful of states with such a ban until the Legislature repealed it during this year’s regular session. But the ban won’t end until June 10 – well after the primary.

The ban dated back to the state’s founding in 1863 and was designed to prevent swapping liquor for votes, among other things.

a lobbyist who pushed for the legalization of the sport in West Virginia.

In mixed martial arts, two combatants employ techniques from several sports, including boxing, wrestling, jiu jitsu and judo.

The sport has become very popular over the past decade with promotions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Strikeforce selling millions of dollars in tickets and generating even more cash through payper-view sales.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship, a subsidiary of Zuffa, has been pushing for legalization of the sport in all 50 states, said Marc Ratner, vice president of regulatory and government affairs with the UFC. The company also lobbied here, and its promotion, which is the most popular in the sport, is hoping to bring an event to West Virginia when the rule-writing process has been completed.

“We want to give the commission a chance to wrap up the rules and get some refs and judges trained,” Ratner said.

He said the Charleston Civic Center would be a “perfect” spot to hold a mixed martial arts event. The Mardi Gras Casino and Resort as well as The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs are other ideal locations.

Although the event likely would not be a major pay-perview show, Ratner thinks it would be broadcast on cable TV. The larger, pay-per-view shows are normally held in large venues such as those in Las Vegas.

Ratner, who was the director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission for 14 years, believes an event in West Virginia

would have a major impact on the local economy, despite the fact that it would be held at a smaller venue than those in a fight Mecca like Las Vegas.

“When we come in for a television show, we have about 200 people involved between the fighters, their trainers and family and the television crew,” Ratner said. “And they’re in a town for about three days.”

The ticket sales for such an event could fall between $500,000 and $700,000 depending on how the gate is priced, he said.

Local mixed martial arts trainer Butch Hiles also believes the events would be a boon to the local economy.

Hiles, a professional mixed martial artist, owns Butch Hiles Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA gym on Summers Street in Charleston.

“I’m involved with the Convention and Visitors Bureau, and it’s all about getting heads in beds,” Hiles said. “And MMA events would be a huge economic impact for the state.”

Hiles believes an event would draw spectators from around West Virginia as well as surrounding states.

Hiles, who has had his gym in Charleston since 2000, believes more gyms will start popping up.

This could lead to more business and occupation taxes for cities where the gyms are located, he said.

“It’s just going to get bigger and better here,” he said.

However, Hiles said he has little faith in the Athletic Commission expediting the process because the organization vocally opposed legalizing mixed martial arts when the bill was up for debate.

30 Seconds to Mars to play coliseum by mackenzie mays and alex mcpherson da staff

Alternative rock band 30 Seconds to Mars will perform at the West Virginia University Coliseum April 26.

The band was created in the late ‘90s as a family project, founded by brothers Shannon and Jared Leto.

30 Seconds to Mars received an MTV2 Award for its 2006 hit single “The Kill.” Its 2007 album “A Beautiful Lie” was certified platinum.

The group’s title track from its latest album titled “This Is War” peaked at No. 1 on the U.S. Alternative Songs Chart in 2009.

Drummer Shannon said working with his brother has been an intimate learning experience.

“It’s been a wonderful experience – he’s very inspirational to me. He perseveres through everything, and I learn constantly from him on a day-to-day basis,” Shannon said. “He’s fun too. We really have a great relationship.”

Web

30 Seconds to Mars will perform at the WVU coliseum April 26 along with Cee Lo Green.

The band is most known for its elaborate and creative music video productions, snagging a “Best Video Woodie for Live Action” at the 2006 mtvU Woodie Awards for single “The Kill,” while its video for “A Beautiful Lie” was certified gold by MTV International in 2009.

Shannon accredited his

brother’s wild imagination tothe band’s successful musicto-video interpretations.

“My brother directs all the videos and it all really just comes from his mind and the experiences he’s had. It’s all about his imagination and his dreams,” Shannon said. Shannon’s side project, CB7, is a

new wave alternative electronic band that will open at the upcoming concert.

When Shannon met up with frontman Antoine Becks, he knew the band’s unique sound was something he couldn’t let go.

“I met the lead singer a few years ago in Miami, and he told

me what he was all about. I had him send me some vocals and guitar, and it was an amazing sound,” Shannon said. “We’ve been working on the group’s demo for the past couple of years and it’s very exciting.”

Shannon stepped outside the box on 30 Second to Mars’ latest album “This Is War” by writing his own song titled “L490.”

“It was just something I felt inspired to do. I’ve been around and recorded and everyone really like this idea so we decided to put it on the album,” Shannon said.

Hip-hop genius Cee Lo Green will also be performing at the WVU Coliseum April 26, and Shannon said opportunities like these are why he loves being a performer.

“One thing about touring is getting to travel to so many different places at different types of venues and experiencing different genres of bands,” Shannon said. “It’s a wonderful existence being in a band and getting to do all of that. You get to check out so many different

ideas and see how other artists express themselves.”

The band is known for incorporating interestingly themed live performances, and Shannon said the WVU audience should be prepared for a lively show.

“We’re thinking of a couple of ideas for the West Virginia show, so we’ll see. We are always trying to do something live that is fun and exciting and exploring and interactive, and we just basically believe in sharing the experience with our fans as much as possible,” Shannon said.

Tickets are available at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices. Prices range from $27 to $44. WVU students can receive $10 off ticket price with a valid student ID. “Get ready. Just get ready.

We’re going to bring the chaos, the sweat, the blood and the tears. It’s just going to be really exciting for everyone and we’re excited to perform,” Shannon said. mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

‘Help Africa Heal’ concert benefits hepatitis education programs by alex mcpherson a&e writer

In a cover heavy evening, more than fifty people attended “Help Africa Heal: a Music Benefit for Hepatitis B Education” on Sunday.

The so.zo event raised over $250, going toward hepatitis B education in Ghana.

Jeremy Madia, a junior at Morgantown High School, initially came out to support friends Leila and Farah Famouri, who were both performing, but once he arrived, he was able to learn a lot more about the hepatitis B epidemic while enjoying some local music.

“Room 217 was my favorite,” Madia said. “I liked the way their instruments blended together. They had good arrangements, had good stage presence and were great performers.”

Madia’s favorite cover of the night was Room 217’s rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstitious.”

“Its free-form groove added an incredible danceability to the song,” Madia said.

Michael Niemann, freshman biology and math major at West Virginia University and member of group Room

217, found comfort in a different band.

Niemann said a cappella group Anarchapella was a highlight of the show.

The group performed its arrangement of The Strokes’ “Someday.”

“The a cappella group was pretty impressive,” Niemann said. “I really enjoyed their stuff.”

Anarchapella started in 2008 as the brainchild of Joe Gorman, senior multidisciplinary studies major, and Leila Famouri, senior biology major and host of the evening.

The group covered the likes of “Don’t Stop Believin’,” “Fidelity” and an upbeat rendition of Cee Lo Green’s “Forget You.” Freshman international studies major and Anarchapella member Farah Famouri had the same preference as Niemann.

“It takes a lengthy amount of time (to arrange the songs),” Farah said. “But we arranged and learned The Strokes’ ‘Someday’ in one rehearsal.

We all came together and learned it really quickly because it’s one of our favorite songs.”

Other covers of the night included Regina Spektor’s “Us” performed by Leila.

“I liked everyone,” Farah said.

“There was a broad range of types of songs. From Kenneth Adkins with country, to Erik Goes To Germany with indie, to Room

217 with recognizable songs.

Each brought something we could enjoy.”

Madia said he would like to see more people out at similar events.

“It’s a great cause with

good people involved,” Madia said. “Even if you just come to watch a band, it’s lots of fun, and you get to help someone else in the world.” alex.mcpherson@mail.wvu.edu

Spring weather brings chance for new wardrobe Megan Puglisi A&E Writer

Since the weather in Morgantown hit a seasonal high of 83 degrees on Monday, the campus blossomed with a sea of lively, refreshing and fashionable students.

This is exceptionally exciting for style gurus who are passionate and motivated by the expressive styles worn by peers.

These creative styles have been hard to come by over the past winter months, according to West Virginia University senior advertising major Jessica Northcutt.

“Students are forced to wear clunky pairs of tread-safe boots, overbearing coats and layers of warm, clothes to stay warm which makes it less important for students to feel like they should look good in the winter,” Northcutt said. “Now that it’s getting warmer that will change. I’m really looking forward to wearing colorful sundresses, flirty wedges and sun hats again.”

As soon as the weather reaches a pleasant temperature, Morgantown becomes every 20-year-old’s paradise, or as some WVU students call it, “Morgandise.”

“Morgandise” is a place

where students relish in the sun, partake in outdoor social gatherings, play games like corn hole, and flip cup and never cease to turn up the volume when “Country Roads” makes a visit on the iPod’s shuffle.

Besides creating a wave of overall happiness to virtually every student and resident in Morgantown, the weather also encourages female students to experiment with their long lost wardrobes.

Sunny weather also inspires students to follow upcoming trends to seek out the merchandise that will make their stay in “Morgandise” a fashionable success.

Here are a variety of trends fashionistas can expect to see this spring and summer which are accessible for all students looking to stand out.

Lace No, it is not new. But, like all trends that span multiple seasons, it has certainly evolved.

Lace influences for spring 2011 are romantic but not super feminine, sensual but not over-revealing and, most importantly, worn not as a detail but as the garment itself.

Dare to wear a dress or a skirt made from a unique pattern or sturdier fabric of lace as opposed to thin-stretched lace no longer in style.

turn of the bell-bottomed pant.

Flared jeans and bell-bottoms are slowly but surely replacing the skinny jean that has become so common in everyone’s wardrobe.

Fashion from the ’70s will be a huge influence for the fashionable trends this season.

Stripes Last season the militaristic style of jackets and pants swarmed closets and runways around the world.

The theme this season, however, will be a little less combat and a little more nautical.

Stripes for summer do not have to be worn just as a clothing trend–you can work them into any part of the outfit with a striped hat or purse.

Crop tops For a couple of years now, crop tops and bare stomachs have been popular on the runways but very seldom worn by the ordinary person due to the

societal norms of this body conscious age.

Only the daring are willing to flaunt their bodies and push the trend further into the mainstream fashion scene.

The vital key to exposing your stomach in a crop top is doing it with elegance and sophistication.

Functional Fashion If you live on campus, you will be spending a lot of time outside in the warm weather and will want to own pieces that mix fashion and function.

Brighten things up with a cheerful pair of peep-toe heels, wedges or sandals and you are sure to stand out from the crowd.

It’s important to carry yourself with poise, but it’s even more important to carry your essentials in a pretty purse, cool clutch or versatile crossbody bag. megan.puglisi@mail.wvu.edu

Judicial Board must bring closure to election After a long West Virginia University Student Government Association election season, riddled with controversy and multiple questions of ethics, SGA’s Judicial Board will meet tonight at 8 p.m. to decide how to address the more serious violations committed.

While there has been no verification on the “more serious” violations, we hope the matter is resolved in a way that will restore the integrity of SGA and bring closure to the election.

The Fusion and Pirate parties

have claimed equal innocence, and both are pointing fingers at each other for blame.

It has become evident the current SGA election process is completely flawed, but it can be fixed with one simple solution – have polling stations instead of voting on MIX. If this change happened, most of the violations committed this year would be eliminated in the future.

Several candidates were charged with “dorm storming” and bribing students to obtain

their MIX accounts and votes for the students.

Polling stations could be located at different areas of the campus such as the Downtown, Evansdale and Health Sciences Campus libraries and the Mountainlair.

If the election process doesn’t change, another election plagued by voter fraud will likely occur.

The only downside to changing the current election process is the possibility of lowering an already low voter turnout. Al-

though quality of voters should be preferred over quantity. But if changing the system ensures the honesty of the election, so be it.

There is a reason the government doesn’t let the American voters vote from home on their computers: There is no way to monitor the election if every voter has his or her own polling station.

If future candidates do not have the opportunity to bribe voters for their MIX accounts with cheeseburgers, they will have to woo them the old fash-

ioned way – by addressing student issues and giving competent solutions.

To those who may be planning to run for SGA next year, we hope standards are much higher than some of the current candidates.

The decisions made tonight by the SGA Judicial Board should be a step toward changing the current image of SGA and will restore the faith of the student body.

The time is now: America must end the war on drugs in Mexico tomas engle columnist

In what is quickly becoming the year of the “black swan,” a term for extremely unlikely events occurring with farreaching impact, Mexico looks to be the next country to catapult itself into the headlines with mass popular protests.

Much like the Arab world, these unprecedented protests focus on yet another foreign intervention propped up by the United States government: the drug war.

The “black swan” theory was formulated by statistics author Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his 2007 book of the same name and defined as “the disproportionate role of high-impact, hard to predict and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance and technology.”

Black swans were used to illustrate this since the phrase originally meant one of impossibility (because no one thought they existed) until the late 17th century, when the rare genetic anomaly was discovered in western Australia.

Between the Arab world protests, all set off by a single suicide in Tunisia in December, to the devastating chain of events in Japan initiated by the earthquake just weeks ago, 2011 is already filled with enough “black swans” to last a generation.

The next “black swan” to fly appears to be in Mexico as thousands there, and across the world, have reached a tipping point and taken to the streets against the war on drugs.

While there have been futile escalations in the U. S. government’s war on drugs before,

presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan in the 70s and 80s, respectively, the current escalation has unleashed an orgy of bloodshed.

The most recent one began on Dec. 11, 2006, when newly elected Mexican President Felipe Calderon sent 6,500 federal troops into his home state of Michoacan to declare an allout war against drug cartels.

Since then, rival drug cartels have banded together out of desperation and let loose the kind of violence usually seen only within the drug world to the civilian populace at large.

Drug war-related deaths in Mexico have been nearly doubling every two years since 2006.

According to private intelligence firm STRATFOR, the numbers of drug war related deaths are as follows: in 2006 there were 2,119 deaths;in 2007 there were 2,275; in 2008 there were 5,207 deaths; in 2009 there were 6,598 deaths; in 2010 there were 11,041 deaths. However, the Los Angeles Times estimates the total death toll to be 35,000.

Almost all of these deaths are from civilians caught in the crossfire between the two equally matched forces.

Anyone remotely related to an authority figure, especially in the police department, is also included, as drug cartels have made it a habit to kidnap, torture and dismember officials’ relatives to intimidate them into either joining their side or leaving the country.

Although absent from most headlines and news reports in the U. S., these random and gruesome slayings have dominated the Mexican news media as few families are left unaffected at this point.

In a recent development that mirrors the Arab revolutions, a single death has served as the catalyst to awaken the population.

Demonstrators gather in front of Bellas Artes Palace prior to a protest against violence in Mexico City, Wednesday, April 6.

On March 28, the bodies of six men and women were found in a car in the quiet city of Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Included with the deceased was 24-year-old Juan Francisco Sicilia, the son of noted Mexican poet and novelist Javier Sicilia. The bodies, riddled with torture marks, were accompanied by a calling card from the Gulf cartel.

Javier Sicilia vowed to never again write another verse until the violence stopped and promised to channel all his grief and anger into ending the

conflict once and for all.

Sicilia blames the following for their involvement in the conflict: drug cartels for their greed and wanton cruelty to their own people; the Mexican government for their corruption and heavy-handed tactics; and the American government for supplying the Mexican government with the encouragement, money and material to escalate the attacks in the first place, but also for ignoring their own complicity as the source of demand for drugs.

In his editorial columns,

Sicilia called for nationwide protests to say “Basta!” (Spanish for “enough”) to the violence and the war on drugs itself on April 6.

On that day, in another allusion to recent events in the Arab world, social media networks enabled 50,000 people to meet in Cuernavaca to call for “No mas guerra de las drogas” (Spanish for “No more war on drugs”). Protests were also seen in Mexico City, 33 other cities across the country and 14 cities internationally.

For too long Mexico and

ap

other Latin American countries that produce the drugs America wants have suffered war on drugs first hand.

The war on drugs, like any prohibition of substances, has concentrated an immense amounts of wealth into the hands of organized crime through the black market.

It has not stopped anyone, anywhere, from using drugs if they wanted to do so.

Now is the time to stop the shallow moralizing and starve gangs of funds. End the war on drugs.

Those who have the power to help promote freedom are obligated to do so kenneth james daily mississippian uwire

Before sitting down to write this column, I went online to check the latest news from Africa. I was going to write a column arguing passionately, and, I hope, convincingly, about the need for Western intervention in the African country of Cote d’Ivoire.

So, you can rightly assume that I was both surprised and delighted to read on the New York Times website that the United Nations and France have begun military strikes against the forces of former

president Laurent Gbagbo.

Gbagbo lost his campaign to remain president of Cote d’Ivoire, a former French colony, last November. The election, certified by several international agencies as fair and honest, awarded the presidency of this cocoa-rich nation to Alassane Ouattara. Unfortunately, Gbagbo refused to accept his loss, and held on to power. Since then, the situation in Cote d’Ivoire has only deteriorated.

Negotiations floundered, Ouattara set up his own government in his U.N.-protected hotel room, and, eventually, armed fighting began between forces loyal to each side.

Cote d’Ivoire descended into violence between pro-

Ouattara supporters in the largely Muslim north and pro-Gbagbo supporters in the largely Christian south.

This violence culminated recently in the massacre of 1,000 civilians in the town of Duekoue, a dangerous step toward genocide.

Both sides deny responsibility for this massacre, though it does look like the blame falls on Ouattara’s forces.

So, I am pleased that France and the U.N. have stepped in to do something about it. France and the U.N. have commenced air strikes against military and political targets in Cote d’Ivoire. I am glad that someone in the Western world realized they

had a duty to do so.

Yes, I said a duty.

You see, I advocate Western intervention to prevent genocide not just because I believe those who can prevent genocide have a responsibility to do so, and not because I am some naive, bleeding heart who does not understand the so-called “real world.”

My insistence on aid and intervention for Cote d’Ivoire comes from my belief that the United States and Western Europe have a duty to help places like South America and Africa because our ability to do so, our wealth and all it buys for us, has been made at the expense of these places.

As a society, we often try to forget about the misdeeds

of our past, to pretend things were not as bad as they truly were or to try to distance ourselves from what we claim to be the mistakes of our ancestors and therefore not our responsibility.

This is a fallacious argument.

Much of the wealth and power on which this country sits and uses to mold so much of the world into the shapes we find most pleasing has come to us because of what we and European imperial powers were able to take from places like Africa.

The Western world robbed Africa of its people and its resources, yet we assume that having given African countries their independence – a

gift that we did not give but which we gave back – somehow absolves us of responsibility for the repercussions that African nations continue to suffer through.

By initiating military strikes against the despotic and violent forces of Laurent Gbagbo, France has made a bold step toward repaying the debt it owes its former colony and might just save a lot of lives in the process.

I hope, but do not expect, that we might see a greater response from the Western world toward the prevention of genocide and violence around the world, especially toward countries to which we owe so very much.

measures to ever come if half of Congress can’t even be persuaded to cut 1 percent of this year’s total federal spending?

The tiny size of Friday’s cuts doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be made; it means that many, many more are necessary.

If nothing else, they set a precedent showing that federal spending reductions can be made with-

out the country somehow going up in flames. While I would prefer to go without threats of a government shutdown every few weeks, both parties should continue to push hard for reductions in federal spending wherever they can be found.

DA

down last weekend.

Levy points out the $38-plus billion in spending cuts Republicans were demanding are a tiny fraction of overall government spending, but this demonstrates the same sort of attitude that created the $14.2 trillion national debt to begin with.

Politicians are always calling for some vague notion of spending reductions, but as soon as someone

proposes something specific to cut, the response is always the same: “Oh, we didn’t mean this. We need this!”

Whether it’s Republicans with defense spending, Democrats with welfare programs or both parties with Social Security, everyone has their sacred cows. But if politicians are serious about confronting our monstrous debt problem, this

practice must end. All programs – large and small – must be open to reductions.

True, $38.5 billion represents a tiny fraction of overall government spending, and these measures must be followed by significant cuts in defense spending and a restructuring of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

But can we honestly expect those

ARE YOU READY TO

AGAIN?

By Jesse tabit a&e Writer

The “Scream” series deserves to be brought back to life. With the resurrection of Ghostface in the anticipated next iteration of the popular “Scream” films premiering Friday, can it happen? Let’s hope.

Originating with smart satire and satisfying twists, “Scream” debuted in 1996, reinventing the typical game of horror movies.

Taking place in Woodsboro, Calif., Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) was terrorized by a masked killer known as Ghostface, who torments his victims via phone calls and movie trivia. Usually, the victims answer incorrectly to the questions, and their lives end rather brutally.

OK, always brutally.

Sidney’s mother Maureen was murdered one year before the appearance of Ghostface, and throughout the film, Sidney gradually learns the killer’s motives are closer to her than she thinks.

“Scream” took the cliched rules of the standard horror film and turned them on their head, all while adding a dash of humor. Satirically, the film poked fun at horror films but still included plenty of suspense and gore for fans of the genre.

What’s more interesting is that the series follows Sidney, and a series of films called “Stab,” based on her survival of the killer, mimic those horror flicks that always claim they are “based on a true story.”

Not only can Director Wes Craven take credit here, but also screenwriter Kevin Williamson (creator of “The Vampire Diaries”), who is returning to the series with “Scream 4.”

Horror fans, wipe the sweat off

Neve Campbell stars in ‘Scream 4,’ the latest release in the horror franchise.

your brow.

Williamson wrote the original and the sequel but took a back seat as producer in the third film, which is widely recognized as the worst in the series and was received negatively by critics.

With that said, “Scream 3” did have some neat ideas, but its satirical “hook” quickly wore thin.

Some other fun aspects of the series are the references to classic horror like “Halloween” and “Friday the 13th,” as well as cameo appearances from A-list stars like Drew Barrymore and Jada Pinkett Smith.

From the trailer, it looks as if “Scream 4” features Kristen Bell (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”) and Anna Paquin (“True Blood”) taking on that opening role against Ghostface.

Also, Emma Roberts (“It’s Kind of a Funny Story”) and Hayden Panettiere ( “Heroes”) join the cast, as well as original stars Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox.

DIMENSION FILMS

Set 10 years after the Woodsboro murders, “Scream 4” introduces Sidney, a reinvented woman who has recovered from her past and written several selfhelp books.

She returns to her home in Woodsboro as a last stop on her book tour.

Sidney reunites with old friends, but her appearance has also ushered in something she thought she escaped years ago: Ghostface. As the tagline reads: “New decade. New Rules.” I can’t wait to see where those rules take the franchise.

Craven’s last film, “My Soul To Take,” was incoherent and preposterous. Please don’t let the same be said for “Scream 4.”

Let’s just hope the director, who also created “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and “Red Eye,” can bring his once-original series back to life.

Being a fan of the original series, I’m really rooting for him. jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, opportunities tend to tumble into your path. You are probably one of your best resources, as your creativity pinnacles whenever you need it to. Others, though serious, chip right in, brainstorming away or finding an easier path. This month you are christening a new 11-year luck cycle.

Let go of what doesn’t work, and make an opening for something better. If you are single and ready, you could meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, share some of your inner happiness with your sweetie. Count on LEO being fun.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHHH Your creativity continues to come forth and save the day. Your high energy mixed with the cooperation of others makes you close to unstoppable.

Bridge a gap between you and another key person in your life. Tonight: Allow in more childlike moments.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You might want to handle a personal matter more directly. If you understand what is behind another person’s actions, you can create a better liaison or interaction. Know that you don’t need to agree with him or her. Tonight: Make it easy; order in.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHHH You are more than likely to say exactly what you think, with little thought to the ramifications. How you handle a child or loved one who has been difficult can determine your interactions for the next few months. Tonight: Let your hair down. Make a talk possible.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You might want to create a greater sense of security for yourself. Eye real estate and other financial investments with care. What you believe is an easy return just might not be. Think like a cynic. Tonight: Pay your bills.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH A particular situation that revolves around an idea or a creative person keeps coming back up. You have been unusually serious, and people need to see your old spontaneity return. You might wonder which way to go with a child or loved one. Tonight: As you like it.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You might be feeling as if you cannot accomplish everything that you want to. Closing your door might be a smart move. An associate or partner might suddenly become very energetic, to the point of being irritating. You might wonder what is happening. Tonight: Go for what you need.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Don’t hesitate to zero in on what you want. You might feel pushed by others, but what is the difference if you have the same goal? Don’t allow details to hold you back unnecessarily. The time is now. You also have the support of many people. Tonight: Celebrate living!

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Realize it isn’t just you who feels they are under pressure, but many people around you. Ask for important feedback, knowing other people’s responses might not always be right-on, but they

could give you guidance. Tonight: Out late, whether working or having fun.

WVU splits with Marquette, UConn by derek denneny sports writer

The West Virginia tennis team split its final two regular-season matches this weekend.

On Saturday the Mountaineers (8-12, 4-5 Big East Conference) faced Marquette, falling to the Golden Eagles 5-2.

The Mountaineers fell behind early, being swept in the doubles matches.

“We have the opportuni-

ties with the doubles point but failed to capitalize,” said WVU’s first-year head coach Tina Samara. “We can’t have that happen. We need to stay aggressive.”

Sophomore Emily Mathis and freshman Mary Chupa captured WVU’s only points.

Mathis stole her match in the third set and Chupa won 6-4, 6-0.

WVU turned its weekend around on Sunday after it beat Connecticut 5-2.

“We played much better

against UConn,” Samara said.

“It was encouraging to see a strong performance.”

The Mountaineers jumped out to an early lead after sweeping the doubles point.

Chupa and Mathis won the No. 1 match 9-8, while sophomore Liv Pettersson and junior Veronica Cardenas captured the No. 2 match 8-6.

Chupa also secured a win in the No. 3 singles match.

Mathis and Ashley Pilsbury won the No. 2 and No. 5 matches, respectively.

Cardenas also won the No. 4 match.

“We now have to prepare for the conference championship,” Samara said. “We are ready after our last few matches. We seem to be in the best shape of the season and about to hit our stride.”

The Mountaineers will be back in action April 28 when they participate in the Big East championships in South Bend, Ind. derek.denneny@mail.wvu.edu

Varsity eight finishes 5th at Knecht Regatta Cody schuler

sports correspondent

The West Virginia rowing team finished a busy weekend of racing at the Knecht Cup Regatta with two boats appearing in the grand finals and one boat competing in the Petite Finals.

The Mountaineers entered a total of three boats in the novice four event, led by the “A” boat of Sara Olenich, Danika Rencken, Jessica Hurlbert, Christina Mehrtens and coxswain Morgan Leach. The boat raced through the qualifying rounds and into the grand finals where it finished in first place (8:21.49).

Head coach Jimmy King had mixed feelings about the team’s overall performance but was quick to note the improvements the team is making as a whole.

“We are pleased with the overall progress our team is making as evidenced by the results, but there is still a lot of work ahead of us,” he said.

The varsity eight boat of Jenelle Spencer, Hilary Meale, Rachelle Purych, Kaitlyn Brownson, Rachel Viglianco, Shannon Gribbons, Karen Verwey, Courtney Schrand and coxswain Mallory Fisher also found success throughout the early qualifying rounds and raced to a fifth-place finish in the grand final (7:02.74) out of 28 competing teams in the event.

Further, King is seeing improvements from the varsity eight crew that he hasn’t seen in previous seasons.

“This year’s varsity eight, as a whole, is fitter and stronger than in years past, but along with that, there is fairly good chemistry amongst the group,”

he said.

The cohesiveness of the varsity eight has proved beneficial, but the group is still struggling to improve its poise on race day.

“In the final, they pressed a bit too hard in their eagerness to do well and lost some of that ease with which they raced the day before,” King said.

The second varsity eight boat placed third in its qualifying heat and later raced to a fourth-place finish in the petite finals (7:31.55) just behind Kansas and in front of Fordham.

The Mountaineers also had two boats compete in the varsity four event, with the “A” boat placing sixth and the “B” boat finishing fourth in their respective qualifying heats.

In fact, the gold-medal novice four boat was partially comprised of younger mem-

bers from the second varsity eight boat, including three rowers that raced four times on Saturday and twice on Sunday.

“We raced that lineup to give them valuable racing experience and to show them how well they are developing. Because they have been racing in the second varsity eight, they’ve only been able to judge their progress based on (those) results,” he said. “By racing them in the novice four, we gave them the opportunity to see for themselves how far they’ve come in their first year of rowing.”

The West Virginia rowing team will return to action on April 22, when it travels to Washington, D.C., to compete against Georgetown and George Washington on the Potomac River. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

McIlroy’s ‘meltdown’ leaves Northern Irish blue LONDON (AP) — Some called it a “meltdown,” others labeled it “misery” or a “horror show.” No matter how you describe it, Rory McIlroy’s final round at the Masters turned into agony for the young Northern Irishman from Holywood and for his supporters back in Britain.

The 21-year-old McIlroy, who hails from the small town in County Down, fell apart at Augusta National on Sunday just when he seemed poised to win his first major. He shot an 8-over 80 to drop from the top of the leaderboard to 15th – 10 shots behind champion Charl Schwartzel.

“McIlroy slips from master to bogey man on final day,” the Irish Times headlined on its website Monday. In the Irish News, it was “Rory Shattered,” while its fellow Belfast-based newspaper News Letter wrote: “Horror Show.” The Irish Independent headlined “Masters meltdown as Rory fights off tears.”

McIlroy had the lead through the first three rounds, and then teed off Sunday morning with a four-stroke lead and the chance to become the second youngest winner of the green jacket.

“All he had to do was go out on to the beautifully manicured haven that is Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia and to continue doing what he had done for the three previous rounds to claim the U.S. Masters title,” Philip Reid of the Irish Times wrote from Augusta. “Easier said than done, of course.”

McIlroy’s round went from bad – two bogeys on the front nine – to worse starting on the 10th. He triple-bogeyed that first hole after the turn, followed with a bogey on No. 11 and then double-bogeyed the 12th.

On No. 13, his tee shot went into a creek.

“I realized then that I didn’t have a chance,” McIlroy said Sunday.

“Once I hit that tee shot left on 13, I was done.”

Just about everyone watching could see it, too.

“McIlroy looked to be close to fighting back tears as an errant ball took valuable shots as it nestled in a creek,” the Irish Independent wrote Monday.

The headlines in London were equally somber, from “McIlroy Misery” in the Daily Mail to “McIlroy’s

gawthrop Continued from page 10

The main reason behind Irvin’s excitement : more points for the good guys means opposing teams will frequently be forced to play catch up, making work easier for the defense.

In essence, more passing situations for WVU’s opponents translate into more sack opportunities for Irvin.

But in the present, the new implementation of the offense has seemed to be refreshing for the defense as it gives the unit something new to work against during the often grueling times of spring camp.

West Virginia defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel said the up-tempo pace of the Mountaineer offense is beneficial to the young WVU defense.

But it comes with negatives, as well.

“The biggest concern is being able to handle some of the things that we’ll see during the year that we’re not

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland leans on his golf bag on the 13th hole during the final round of the Masters golf tournament on Sunday in Augusta, Ga. Masters dream becomes a horror show” in The Times of London. In the Daily Telegraph, a two-page banner headline read: “McIlroy’s world crumbles after day from hell.”

If McIlroy had won, he would have become the second youngest Masters champion behind Tiger Woods. Instead, his implosion has left him being named alongside players like Jean Van de Velde and Greg Norman, who both fell apart and lost big leads at major tournaments in the 1990s.

“We had hoped to compare the young Northern Irishman to the great Masters champions but instead had to reach for the compendium of great golfing train wrecks,” Matt Dickinson wrote in The Times of London.

Richard Williams of The Guardian also took a harsh look at the freefall.

“McIlroy did not fade out of the contest. He crashed out of it, brakes gone and tires screeching, in a welter of debris,” Williams wrote.

In Ireland, the papers were a bit more lenient.

“Maybe what unfolded on this hallowed turf was all part of some greater plan, but what happened to the 21-year-old Ulsterman was sport at its most cruel,” the Irish Times wrote.

Manhattan hires Louisville assistant NEW YORK (AP) — Manhattan College has hired Louisville assistant Steve Masiello as its men’s basketball coach.

Masiello replaces Barry Rohrssen, who was fired after the Jaspers went 6-25 and were 59-85 overall in his five seasons with the school.

Masiello was an assistant at Manhattan from 2001-05 and helped them reach the NCAA tournament twice and the NIT once before leaving to work under the Cardinals’ coach Rick Pitino.

Manhattan’s new coach played at Kentucky under both Pitino and Tubby Smith. During has career, the Wildcats went to the Final Four twice and won the national title in 1998.

“The bony fragments and scar tissue taken from Deron’s wrist today were interfering with this ability to flex his wrist,” Dr. Williams said.

“We expect a full recovery and a return to basketball-related activities in approximately six to eight weeks.”

Williams’ wrist will be encased in a soft splint for two weeks, after which time, he will begin rehabilitation. He is expected to participate in next season’s training camp.

Nets G Williams undergoes surgery EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Nets guard Deron Williams underwent successful wrist surgery today at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.

The surgery was performed by hand specialist Dr. Andrew Weiland and Nets team orthopedic Dr. Riley Williams III. It involved the removal of loose bodies and scar tissue from Williams’ right wrist.

seeing (against the WVU offense),” Casteel said.

Casteel said he has to find time for his defense to go against more conventional types of offenses and schemes it will face in the regular season.

But for now, the Mountaineers will continue to go about their business and learn to face the up-tempo style of play. As West Virginia senior linebacker Najee Goode said, WVU will likely face an offense similar in style to Holgorsen’s sooner or later.

When that time comes, they’ll be ready.

“The offense will run plays, and we won’t even know where they’re going,” Goode said. “But it’s working. Holgorsen’s got a good plan.

“In the past, you’ve seen him put up points. You’re going to see him do it again this year.”

Thankfully for Goode and crew, it won’t be against their defense. brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu

Moore taken first

by Minnesota in 2011 WNBA Draft BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) — Maya Moore is used to winning titles at Connecticut.

Now she’s ready to bring that same mentality to her new team – the Minnesota Lynx, who took her with the first pick in the WNBA Draft on Monday.

“Every year the goal is a championship,” she said. “That’s what I expect. I go on to every team expecting to win a championship, especially with the amount of talent we have. I don’t want to limit to the playoffs, I want to win a championship.”

She helped UConn win a record 90-straight games during one stretch over the past two seasons, and also led the school to two national championships in her stellar four-year career.

Her selection as No. 1 wasn’t much of a surprise.

“It feels really great to finally be able to have the moment of being drafted No. 1,” Moore said. “All the hype and excitement around it.”

Moore was followed in the draft

by Elizabeth Cambage of Australia (Tulsa), Courtney Vandersloot of Gonzaga (Chicago), Amber Harris of Xavier (Minnesota) and Jantel Lavender of Ohio State (Los Angeles).

Moore, a four-time All-American, averaged 22.8 points this season. She was also the only collegian to play on the U.S. women’s national team that won gold at the world championships last October.

She is also the second straight UConn player to be taken with the first pick in the draft, and fourth overall. Tina Charles went to the Connecticut Sun last season and earned the league’s Rookie of the Year award.

Cambage was drafted second by the Shock. The 6-foot-8 phenom made a splash internationally at the world championship, where the 19-year-old was Australia’s leading scorer, averaging 13.6 points in that tournament.

She’s one of the youngest players taken in the WNBA draft, only a few months younger than countrymate Lauren Jackson, who was just under 20 when she was drafted in 2001 by Seattle.

“I don’t really think it’s an issue,” Cambage said of her age. “I’ll have a great lot of people looking after me in Tulsa. A lot of people think I’m in my 20s. I’m 19, a little baby, mature for my age.”

Cambage made the long trek from Australia to Bristol, Conn., for the draft. She’ll be counted on to turn around the Shock (6-28), who had the league’s worst record last year.

“This is the coolest moment right now,” she said.

Vandersloot, a point guard, helped lead the Zags to a berth in the regional final before they lost to Stanford. She is excited for a chance to play with Epiphanny Prince and Sylvia Fowles in Chicago.

“It’s a very good fit,” Vandersloot said. “They needed a point guard and (coach Pokey) Chatman is going to be able to teach me everything I don’t know already.”

The Lynx (13-21) took Harris with the fourth selection. Minnesota had the rights to the first pick last season before trading it to Connecticut with Renee Montgomery for Lindsay Whalen and

the Sun’s first pick this year. That turned out to be Harris, who led Xavier to the Atlantic 10 regularseason and conference tournament titles.

“A lot of us were in awe of her,” Moore said. “She’s athletic, tall, knows how to take over games when she needs to. I’m excited to compete and get on the court with her.”

Danielle Robinson of Oklahoma went sixth to San Antonio and Tulsa took Kayla Pedersen of Stanford with the seventh pick. Xavier star Ta’Shia Phillips went eighth to Atlanta.

Rounding out the first round, it was: Stanford’s Jeanette Pohlen to Indianapolis at No. 9; Georgia Tech’s Alex Montgomery to New York at No. 10; Kentucky’s Victoria Dunlap to Washington at No. 11; and Duke’s Jasmine Thomas to Seattle at No. 12.

Texas A&M, which won the national championship last Tuesday, had guard Sydney Colson taken

by Connecticut with the 16th pick, and center Danielle Adams went 20th to San Antonio.

“It’s crazy,” Colson said. “It seems like it all happened so quickly. Really, throughout your whole college career, all you want is to get a national championship.”

Colson was traded right after the draft ended to the New York Liberty for Kalana Greene.

Wisconsin hires Stanford assistant Kelsey MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Stanford assistant Bobbie Kelsey has been hired to replace Lisa Stone as head coach of the Wisconsin women’s basketball team.

Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez announced the hiring Monday.

Kelsey has been an assistant at Stanford the past four seasons, during which the Cardinal went 137-14 and advanced to the Final Four each year.

Kelsey also played at Stanford from 1992-96 and appeared in the Final Four three times as a player, including with the 1992 national championship team. She is a native of Decatur, Ga. Stone was fired last month after eight seasons and just one appearance in the NCAA tournament. She had a 128-119 record.

Mitts, Loyden on US women’s training camp roster WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Defender Heather Mitts and goalkeeper Jill Loyden have returned from injuries and been included among 29 players invited to a U.S. women’s team training camp ahead of the World Cup. Mitts (hamstring) and Loyden (broken hand) had been sidelined since January.

The team will train at West Palm Beach from April 18-May 6.

Three of the 29 are college players who will attend the camp for just one week: UCLA forward Sydney Leroux, Boston College midfielder Kristie Mewis (April 18-22) and Penn State midfielder Christine Nairn (April 25-29).

At the World Cup in Germany, the Americans open against North Korea on June 28, then play Colombia on July 2 and Sweden on July 6. Japan plays New Zealand on June 27, Mexico on July 1 and England on July 5.

WVU defense enjoys new offense, too

IT’S ALL GOODE

WVU senior linebacker ready to lead youthful defensive unit in 2011

The anticipation West Virginia’s offensive players have for playing in such a highpowered offensive attack implemented by offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen is certainly understandable.

The likes of quarterback Geno Smith and every single Mountaineer receiver will likely break records or set career highs in one category or another this upcoming season.

Stedman Bailey, Ivan McCartney, Brad Starks and Trey Johnson all have admitted to enjoying Holgorsen’s explosive offensive scheme.

Bruce Irvin has, too.

One wouldn’t imagine a defensive player enjoying facing a scheme that averaged over 500 yards per game a season ago at Oklahoma State.

But the senior defensive end said he enjoys the challenge.

“Seeing the numbers Holgorsen and those guys have put up year-in and year-out, you have no choice but to be excited,” Irvin said.

The excitement shouldn’t be surprising since Irvin is a former high school receiver.

Now one of the most feared defensive ends in the country after finishing second in the country in sacks despite limited playing time last season, Irvin hasn’t shied away from admitting his respect for Holgorsen, his staff and their system, specifically WVU’s inside receivers coach Shannon Dawson.

“They’re down to Earth people. They’re real,” Irvin said. “They don’t sugarcoat anything. They’ll let you know how it is.”

Admittedly, Irvin is just as energized as most WVU fans are to see what kind of offense Holgorsen will produce.

Repella snubbed in WNBA draft by john terry multimedia edtior

matt sunday/the daily athenaeum

Former West Virginia guard Liz Repella drives to the bucket during a game in the Big East Conference tournament last month. Repella was not selected in the WNBA draft.

West Virginia’s senior guard Liz Repella went undrafted in Monday’s WNBA draft.

She was listed as the No. 22-best prospect according to ESPN.com.

The draft consisted of three rounds and 36 total picks.

Repella would have been the first Mountaineer to be drafted into the WNBA since 2008, when Olayinka Sanni was chosen as the 18th overall pick by the Detroit Shock.

Repella has led the Mountaineers the last three seasons.

She led with 14.7 points this past season, 13.9 points in 2010 and 16.5 points in 2009.

WVU NOTEBOOK

Freshman pitcher earns Big East honor West Virginia freshman Harrison Musgrave was named the Big East Conference’s Pitcher of the Week on Monday.

Musgrave, a Bridgeport, W.Va., native earned the honor after tossing a complete game shutout against Georgetown on Saturday.

He allowed the Hoya lineup to get just three hits while walking two and striking out two.

After picking up the win over the weekend, Musgrave boasts a 3-2 record with a 4.59 ERA and leads the team with 35 strikeouts.

Musgrave’s complete game against Georgetown was his second of the season.

Pittsburgh catcher Kevan Smith earned Player of the Week.

The senior went 9-for-22 with nine RBI. In the Panthers’ five games this week, Smith had multi-hit games in four of
