New Maniacs director announced

BY EMILY SPICKLER STAFF WRITER

Steve Staffileno, a senior accounting major, was recently named executive director of the Mountaineer Maniacs for West Virginia University’s 2011-12 academic year.

The Mountaineer Maniacs are the official student booster club of WVU athletics, said Cassie Werner, outgoing executive director of the Mountaineer Maniacs.

Staffileno, who will be a

graduate student starting this fall, said he couldn’t be more excited about being chosen for the position. He joined the Mountaineer Maniacs his freshman year at WVU. For the position, Staffileno endured an application and interview process for the position. The selection committee consisted of six people this year.

“I wanted to apply because I felt like I could be a great leader for this organization,” he said.

Chris Lewallen, WVU Student Body President, said he feels Staffileno will do well with the position.

“He is a social and outgoing person who doesn’t have a problem making friends, and he also has a die-hard passion for WVU sports,” Lewallen said.

The Maniacs strive to increase sportsmanship around campus, Staffileno said. He would like the group to increase student attendance for Olympic sports games.

“Another thing we do want to do is make everyone more aware of the community service projects we do,” he said.

Staffileno said he wants to make these projects available to all Maniac members, and not just to the executive board.

“The executive board is going to discuss it more in full, but I had an idea to host a March Madness basketball tournament with the Boys and Girls Club in Morgantown,” he said.

The group has been focus-

ing on community service and outreach for the past two years, Werner said.

The Maniacs participate in blood drives, fundraising dinners, sponsorship of child honorary captains at Olympic sporting events and the sponsorship of Students Helping Other People, she said.

Jewish Community observes Passover in the Mountainlair

By Conor Griffith Correspondent

West Virginia University students and members of the Jewish community gathered to celebrate the first night of Seder inside Hatfield’s Monday.

Seder is the first two nights of Passover, a Jewish holiday celebrating when Moses liberated the Jews from Egypt.

Passover will run from Monday to April 26.

“According to Jewish law, you always wash your hands before a meal,” said Rabbi Zalman Gurevitz, who led the audience in prayer.

The men immediately washed their hands and Mallory Bracken/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM women in the audience lit Arianna Harman helps Mendel Gurevitz wash his hands as a part of the Seder tradition. candles before washing their This event celebrating Passover was hosted by Chabad Jewish Student & Community Cen- hands to begin the ceremony.

candles, they could ask God for anything they wanted,” said Hindy Gurevitz, Zalman’s wife.

She and her husband presided over the event.

Zalman then led a reading of the story Exodus, or when the Jews left Egypt, in English and Aramaic.

“The reason we say it in Aramaic is because the Jews lived in what is today Iraq and Iran where the language was spoken,” Zalman said.

The Aramaic language is often written in Hebrew.

“When Jews came to where Israel is, Hebrew was the common language,” Zalman said.

A purpose of Seder is to encourage people to take an interest in the Jewish religion.

Eight seniors named to Order of the Augusta

By NICK Ashley Staff writer

West Virginia University recognized its top eight seniors with the Order of Augusta award.

The senior scholars who will be receiving the 2011 Order of Augusta are Laurel Beatty, Kayla Carter, Kristine Finley, Meghan Flinn, Stanley Strawbridge, Andreina Varady, Justin West and Laura Wilson.

Forty-seven outstanding students were selected this year, said David Stewart, the associate advocate vice president for International and

Global Outreach at WVU. The list was later narrowed down to 12 before the final 8 were selected.

Students who have a 3.8 GPA or higher is eligible to be nominated for the award, said Hillar Klandorf, a professor of animal and nutritional sciences and also a member of the committee for the Order of Augusta.

An invitation is sent to students eligible, encouraging them to apply for the award.

He said the award allows students to stand out academically for the work they are doing for the University.

“This award truly recognizes some of the remarkable things in the life of some students, and what they have achieved.

Everyone has their own life story that makes them unique in their own way,” Klandorf said. “The decision we have to make to choose which students should be accepted is very hard.”

Departments and divisions throughout the University were encouraged this year to nominate outstanding students within the programs to be recognized for the work they are doing, he said.

“Anyone accepted for this

should realize that they are in the top 1 percent of the University,” Stewart said. “It’s a privilege to be apart of something that looks great on resumes and a wonderful thing to be proud of.”

In 1995, the WVU Foundation created the Order of Augusta to create a way to recognize outstanding seniors.

The award is based on students who demonstrate outstanding leadership skills on campus, public service throughout the community, study abroad involvement,

Eberly professors receive annual teaching award by lydia nuzum

Jewish students and community members celebrate Passover at the Seder held Monday night at Hatfields. Rabbi Zalman Gurevitz led the event that included lighting candles, washing hands, breaking matzo and dinner.

junior years, Staffileno said involved with community outreach and served as treasurer of the Manics as a senior.

“My hope for this year is we are the best Maniac administration the university has ever seen. I feel like all of us together can accomplish this goal,” Staffileno said.

Membership sign-ups will be held this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for upperclassmen.

Three professors from West Virginia University’s Eberly College of Arts and Sciences have been recognized with the Outstanding Teaching Award.

Professors Jane Donovan, Jo Ann Dadisman and Huey Hannah Lin all received the annual award.

The award is given to teachers who exemplify what it means to excel in the teaching profession while having a strong connection to the University and its students.

Jane Donovan, a religious studies professor, said her connection to WVU is lifelong, earning a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University.

After moving to D.C. shortly after her graduation, Donovan said she could not help but to return to WVU seven years ago.

“I regard it as an enormous honor and privilege to teach here,” Donovan said. “It’s my alma mater.”

She said she entered the teaching profession late in life, and sees it as an opportunity to reach students and enhance their learning experience.

“Not every student is going

to learn with me standing in front of them and lecturing,” Donovan said.

One class Donovan teaches, Christianity in America, incorporates several different teaching styles in order to maintain the interest of students.

Every year, Donovan’s students re-enact a conversion camp meeting as it would have happened during the Second Great Awakening, a spiritual movement in America during the early 19th century.

“It’s really hard to imagine what might have gone on just by reading a chapter,” she said.

“Because I’m an alum I feel like I understand the hopes of our students, having been one of them,” Donovan said. “I try very hard to be a good mentor to students, and I’m deeply honored by this award.”

Jo Ann Dadisman, an English professor, has been educating students on the high school and college level for more than 40 years.

“When I walked into Armstrong Hall in 1990 to teach my first class, I felt the electricity in the air,” Dadisman said.

Golden Quill honors journalism teachers

BY ALEX DUFOUR Correspondent

The third annual Golden Quill Teaching Awards at West Virginia University were named April 2 at the Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism Spring Honors Ceremony.

Jensen Moore received the award for top faculty member and Cathy Bonstetter won top instructor.

The awards are based on student nominations recognizing outstanding teaching, mentoring and advising in the School of Journalism.

Moore, director of online graduate programs and assistant advertising professor, said she felt honored by the award because the recognition came from the students.

“I put in a lot of time into bringing examples to class to make it more fun and interesting for my students,” she said.

Moore said she emphasizes the importance of using real-world clients and setting high expectations so that students can get firsthand experience of the real

world.

“I’m a fairly difficult teacher with high expectations, but I like to give extensive comments on assignments before I actually grade them,” Moore said.

“I try to develop a good relationship with my students, so that they meet those expectations.”

She said she had to give credit to her excellent colleagues and student workers she personally hired, who have been very beneficial to her.

Bonnstetter, a media writing professor and stringer for The State Journal, said the award means her students have enjoyed her classes as much as she has enjoyed teaching her students.

“I love being there and teaching people what they need to make a living with words,” she said.

Although this year has been busy and challenging for Bonnstetter, she said she was surprised but pleased students thought to give her the award. She said

She said she encourages students to utilize office hours of their professors and actively seek out faculty members for assistance.

“As one in a large faculty within the English department, we all want our students to succeed,” Dadisman said.

Huey Hannah Lin, assistant professor in the foreign languages department, said she believes there is an achievable balance between being caring and demanding in regard to teaching.

“I teach foreign language, and I believe it is the core of humanities education,” Lin said.

Lin received her bachelor’s degree in linguistics from the University of Oregon and both her master’s and doctoral degrees from Ohio State University.

Lin, who has also taught at Princeton University and the University of California, Los

Angeles, came to WVU after wanting to build her own Chinese language program.

Since beginning in 2006, Lin has expanded the Chinese program to include almost 40 students majoring in Chinese studies, and more than 120 students enrolled in Chinese language and culture courses.

“Since I get to teach all levels of students, I get to see them mature into respectable young adults,” Lin said. “It gives me a sense of accomplishment.”

Lin also participates in helping her students study abroad. Thirteen of her students are currently abroad; six are in China, and seven are studying in Taiwan.

“We often have students come back from studying abroad as a changed student, more focused, more sure of their goals,” Lin said.

take that creativity and adventurous spirit and channel it into a profession that will make them happy.”

As a media writing teacher, Bonnstetter said she tries to instill good journalistic principles while being respectful of her writers’ individual style.

She also said it would take more than one teacher and one class to turn a good

writer into a professional writer.

“At the J-School, the faculty and administration is made up of the most accomplished professionals and dedicated teachers you can imagine,” she said.

“I am always thrilled to say I work with such intelligent, worthwhile individuals.”

God for the gifts the audience has received.

Zushe Greisman, who attended the event, said it represents the 15 steps of how God took the Jews out of Egypt.

The ritual of Seder includes drinking four glasses of wine.

Each glass represents an occasion God spoke to Moses.

“Two things that we value are good wine and good meat,” Greisman said.

The Chabad Jewish Stu-

dent and Community Center of Morgantown sponsored the event. Chabad is an international organization focused on Jewish education.

The Morgantown chapter of Chabad was established in August 2007.

The second night of Seder will be held tonight at 8:30 at the Chabad Center located at 424 Brockway Ave.

She said she plans on retiring at the end of this semester. Her experience at WVU is one she said she will continue to cherish.

“I feel as though I learn more from my students than they learn from me,” she said. “I’ve always been humbled as a teacher to be given the honor of having students interested in what I have to offer.”

Teaching has been Dadisman’s calling, one she said she has always truly enjoyed, and she also feels a special loyalty to WVU. “The opportunity to teach at WVU has been the most professionally rewarding experience I’ve ever had,” she said. “The University is not only open to opportunities for allowing its students to grow, but its faculty as well.”

W.Va. American Water rates to increase by 4.4 percent CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) – The state Public Service Commission rejected a 15.13 percent rate increase sought by West Virginia American Water Co. on Monday.

Instead, the commission granted the utility a lower 4.4 percent rate hike. The company’s revenue is expected to increase $5.1 million.

Customers using 4,000 gallons monthly will see their bills increase by $1.94, from $43.76 to $45.70, the commission said.

The original request would have increased the average monthly bill by $6.99.

The commission denied the company’s request for higher rates to pay for salary increases

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The path to West Virginia’s statehood began 150 years ago, at the corner of 9th Street and Franklin Avenue, in downtown Richmond, Va. There, on April 17, 1861, in the newly completed Virginia Mechanics Institute building, delegates to a special Virginia State Convention, later known as the Virginia Secession Convention, voted 88-55 to make Virginia the eighth state to secede from the Union.

Convention delegates had been wrestling with secession since convening on Feb. 13, shortly after the Virginia General Assembly charged them with coming up with a position on the issue for ratification by a popular vote. By that time, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas already had broken away to form the Confederate States of America.

Although Virginia soon would become the heart of the Confederacy, sentiment was not initially strong for severing ties with the United States. Less than two weeks prior to the April 17 vote, delegates voted 90-45 not to break away.

Among those speaking against secession was Jubal A.

Due to a reporting error in Monday’s edition of The Daily Athenaeum, Narvel Weese was misquoted about the proposed tuition increase funding the School of Public Health.

It is being funding by the state, with support from the Benedum Foundation, not the proposed tuition rates.

The commission also denied a request for an automatic quarterly increase to cover the cost of replacing aging equipment.

“We are disappointed,” West Virginia American Water President Wayne Morgan said in a statement. “Several other states have already implemented this program, which has been recognized as a best practice nationally by regulators. This decision makes it difficult for West Virginia American Water to replace aging infrastructure.”

The denial comes amid ris-

ing complaints about higher rates for many utilities. The commission said it had a number of protest letters about the proposed water rate hike and other recent cases. The commission also said that it’s aware that rising prices for other utilities have placed a burden on West Virginians.

Rising utility rates have become a popular theme with candidates in the special gubernatorial primary election. Several have promised to try to halt rate increases or repeal them.

The new rates take effect April 19. West Virginia American Water Company serves approximately 171,000 customers in 19 counties in the state.

Early, a West Point graduate and Mexican-American War veteran who later would become one of the Confederacy’s most successful generals.

The decisions to be made by those taking part in the convention, Early said, “involve the question of whether 30 millions of people shall continue to enjoy peace and prosperity, or whether this government shall be rent into fragments, and with it, the last hope of freedom in the world shall expire.”

Early voted against secession during the April 4 and April 17 votes. More than half of the ‘no’ votes on the final ballot were cast by delegates from what is now West Virginia.

Events that took place between the two votes explain the wide disparity between them.

On April 12, Confederate artillery batteries began firing on the Union garrison at Fort Sumter, S.C. The following day, Virginia Gov. John Letcher telegraphed South Carolina Gov. Francis W. Pickens to ask if reports of the Southern artillery barrage were true.

Pickens responded that not only was the fort under siege, but Confederate forces were prepared to repel any federal attempt to re-supply the fort by sea or land.

“I have here now nearly 7,000 of the best troops in the world, and a reserve of 10,000 on our railroads,” Pickens said in his dispatch to the Virginia governor. “The war is commenced and we will triumph or we will perish. This is my answer to you.

Please let me know what Virginia will do.”

Letcher read Pickens’ message to convention delegates on April 13, and told them that their actions “will determine what Virginia will do.”

“The pressure was really growing for the delegates, who had been quite moderate at first,” Joe Geiger, West Virginia’s director of Archives and History, said.

The attack on Fort Sumter -followed by newly inaugurated President Abraham Lincoln’s call to raise 75,000 troops, including several regiments from Virginia, to put down the rebellion -- “kind of sealed the deal for voting for secession,” Geiger said.

In the weeks preceding the shelling at Sumter, one anti-secession delegate, George William Summers, a Charleston lawyer and former two-term congressman, worked behind the scenes to convince Lincoln that war could be avoided by removing federal troops from the fort.

Lincoln’s secretary of state, William Seward, initially had

assured pro-Union convention delegates that the garrison would be withdrawn from Fort Sumter and similar U.S. Army installations in other seceded states. By the end of March, though, Lincoln had changed his mind and, on April 1, Seward wired Summers, asking him to meet with the president in Washington.

“Unaware that Seward’s telegram was a desperate attempt to reverse Lincoln’s decision to hold and re-supply Fort Sumter, Summers decided not to return to Washington because of important convention business,” wrote Donald W. Gunter on the Library of Virginia’s “Union or Secession” website.

Two days later, Summers declined a second request of his presence in Washington, so that he could help vote down the initial secession ballot, sending an emissary in his place.

Within a week, the appeasement scheme became moot, when Confederate batteries began shelling Fort Sumter.

“Fort Sumter capitulated on April 13, to the delight of the majority of the convention,” wrote Kanawha County coal operator and world-renowned naturalist William H. Edwards of Coalburg, who attended the convention as a guest of Monroe County delegate Allen Caperton. “All that week, Richmond had been filling up with longhaired, wild-eyed strangers, brought in for the purpose of influencing the convention and public opinion.”

Anti-secessionists at the convention did not give up without a fight.

One of them was John Jay Jackson of Wood County, a West Point graduate, retired U.S. Army general, former county prosecutor and multi-term member of the Virginia General Assembly.

“I stand here today having taken the oath to support the Constitution of the United States 27 times,” Jackson said during debate preceding the April 17, 1861, vote. “Was that an unmeaning ceremony?

Was it of no consequence that I called the eternal God to witness that I would be true to the Constitution of Virginia, as well as the Constitution of the United States?”

“The people that I have the honor to represent have not been seized with this frenzied madness which has seized our friends in other parts of the commonwealth to induce them to adopt a cowardly course to run away and give up all inheritance in this great country,” said John S. Carlile of Clarksburg, who represented Virginia in Congress from 1855 to 1857.

brian gawthrop associate sports editor

Search is on for WVU’s top receiver West Virginia will have a receiver finish the 2011 season with at least 1,000 yards receiving.

That receiver will also likely catch 100 passes and at least 10 touchdowns.

Don’t let me fool you – I’m not really going out on a limb with those statements.

Those numbers have been a given under offenses coordinated by first-year West Virginia offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen.

Let’s face it – the days of Jeff Mullen’s “spread the wealth” offense are over. It’s over because trying to “spread wealth” simply doesn’t work.

Under Holgorsen, the Mountaineers’ offense will likely be focused around the quarterback, a running back and a receiver.

The offensive coordinator’s history proves it.

In each of his past five years as an offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State, Houston or Texas Tech, Holgorsen has had a receiver catch at least 85 catches. In four of those seasons, at least one receiver has ended with at least 1,000 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns.

West Virginia has only had two players – David Saunders and Chris Henry – catch 1,000 yards in a season. No Mountaineer has ever caught more than 77 receptions in a season, while just five players have caught at least 10 touchdowns in a season.

So, the question is, who is going to be the player Holgorsen molds into a 1,000-yard receiver this season?

Coordinators want to see improvement after Saturday’s scrimmage

By Brian Kuppelweiser sports Writer

On Saturday, the West Virginia football team had its first chance to take the field and show off its work from spring practice in its first scrimmage of the year.

Both the offense and the defense had moments when it shined, but it was clear it still had much to work on leading up to the annual Gold-Blue

Spring Game.

After having a day to pour over the film from the scrimmage, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel talked on Monday morning about what they saw.

Casteel came away with the same impression that he has had most of the spring – there is still a lot of work to do before his defensive unit is game-ready.

“I thought we competed re-

ally well, but we still have a long way to go,” Casteel said. “I think our effort is good and we’re getting better a little at a time, but I don’t think we’re ready to play as a defense yet.”

Part of the defense’s maturation process has been dealing with Holgorsen’s passheavy offense, which forces the defense out of its basic 3-35 concepts.

“The offense did some good things out here to-

day that we haven’t seen yet,” Casteel said. “We’re definitely a work-in-progress.”

With the first scrimmage now in the books, Casteel is looking to continue to have his players get a large amount of reps in a variety of situations.

“Right now, we’re just evaluating the kids,” Casteel said.

“We’re just trying to get these guys reps for right now.”

With Casteel still looking to get players reps, it also means

much of the lineup is still up in the air.

“We probably won’t settle in until camp, because there are so many guys to replace and a lot of the other guys haven’t played,” Casteel said. “We’re not concerned with who’s a first team or second team or third team.”

As for Holgorsen, he has liked what he has seen thus far

Holgorsen: Urban still most consistent receiver by tony dobies sports editor

Former West Virginia tight end Tyler Urban continues to impress offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. The newly named slot receiver was called the most consistent slot receiver by Holgorsen earlier this spring. He reiterated that sentiment after Monday’s practice.

“More so today ... He had a great practice,” Holgorsen said.

Urban, a senior from North Huntington, Pa., caught five balls in the last 30 minutes of practice – more than any other receiver on the team. He has been utilized over the middle of the field this spring, and could become one of the team’s starting slot receivers in the fall.

In fact, because of Urban’s productivity, the coaching staff

Earth Day practices can be year-round The Earth is something we all must share and care for.

And thanks to several West Virginia University sponsored events this week in support of Earth Day on April 22, students and faculty will have opportunities to do just that, and have some fun at the same time.

Being green doesn’t mean spending thousands of dollars on solar-powered technology nor does it constitute a dramatic change in one’s lifestyle.

Activities like recycling, car pooling and using public

transportation aren’t life-altering practices, but can produce very clean results for the environment.

It is very easy to recycle, especially around campus. Multiple recycling bins are placed in convenient locations, leaving no room for students to say that recycling wasn’t an option when disposing of their waste.

According to greenwaste. com, each ton of recycled paper can save 3.5 cubic yards of landfill, 17 thirty foot (pulp) trees, 7,000 gallons of water,

380 gallons of oil and 4,100 kwh of energy.

The concept of recycling is not new to anyone. It has been pounded in our brains since childhood. Yet, many people will walk past a recycling bin to throw waste in a regular trash can.

If everyone does their part to clean up the environment and recycle, we will save on resources and we will have this beautiful planet to reside on for many generations to come.

On Wednesday, students and faculty will have a chance

to properly dispose of many unwanted electronic devises such as CD players, computers, monitors, keyboards, printers, copiers, stereos, iPods, PDAs and more. Televisions will not be accepted. The electronic-cycling day will be held in the Coliseum parking lot from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Thursday, April 21, the Green on the Green Eco Jam will be held on the Mountainlair Green from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The day will be packed with music and entertainment as

well as local and student organizations sharing ways for the community to be more efficient and green.

The Earth Day 5k will be on Friday for anyone interested in participating.

Registration will start at 11 a.m. at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park.

Activities like these are all great ways to promote ways to better our planet, but keeping our Earth clean should be a regular practice.

University is better off without student government tomas engle columnist

Unless you have been underneath a rock for the past month at West Virginia University, you have been subjected to the antics of our Student Government Association.

Were it not for a few wellplaced eye patches, prolonged comas and sudden cases of amnesia, the current SGA saga would be indistinguishable from a daytime soap opera.

While amusing, these egregious breaches of trust must be met with real punishments, or else the comedy of errors will continue. The best way to do this is to completely dissolve SGA and simply let the student body submit its own proposals to the Board of Governors when issues come up.

Almost all of the problems SGA has – voter fraud, dorm storming, completely unrealistic promises to voters, bribing, being a popularity contest – are problems shared eventually by all representative democracies.

History has shown the most efficient and least corruptible versions of democracy have been the most direct and decentralized. From ancient Greece’s city-states to the modern day town hall meetings in New England, citizens have gathered only when it was necessary to discuss and debate issues.

Unlike with chosen representatives who always feel the need to justify their existence, it becomes harder to implement large promises with other people’s money in a direct democracy. And since it would be no one’s primary job, but everyone’s part-time, there would be a lot less political back-stabbing and infighting to stay in power

since there would be no useless position to take over.

That’s right, a useless position. To those who would be against dissolving SGA by saying students would lose power, they need to stop and think for a second.

All SGA does is organize student demands and then beg the BOG, the people with actual power, to implement them.

You could say SGA are lobbyists for students, but they are really more akin to middle men, since all they do is perform a job the student body could easily do itself when the need arises.

Eliminating SGA would not only put power into the hands of students and forever banish the annoying bribe-a-thon in front of the Mountainlair every year, but also put a much clearer focus on who really controls the University.

Right now, students have the illusion they have power through SGA. By getting rid of SGA and giving the right to petition directly to the students, more attention will be paid to the people with real power – the University BOG and the administration.

With the distraction of SGA gone and the probability of more realistic demands coming from a student body not caught up in politics, the BOG and the administration would be forced into a corner.

As it stands, most of SGA’s proposals are either ridiculous or already in the implementation stage and they just stupidly claim them as their own, so the BOG and administration can ignore them with little-to-no consequences.

But with real proposals occasionally submitted only when there is strong enough studentwide support, the BOG and administration will be hardpressed to dismiss them outright, since the SGA circus can

All of this would be true even without the current scandals riddling SGA, they just make the case for dissolving them even more important.

Whether or not full-scale investigations of every abuse during the election are realistic, continuing with a re-election on Wednesday is the biggest disservice one can hand out to the students and the candidates.

Without full-scale investiga-

tions, seemingly legitimately concerned students will be lumped in with all those who cheated.

Even those who cheated will be robbed of the important life lesson that cheaters never prosper and upon graduation will be thrust onto society with unethical conditions and behaviors that were not only never punished, but positively reinforced.

Right now the stakes are small, but who knows where

these unethical candidates will end up later on. It will be on the Judicial Board members’ heads who ordered a revote if any of the cheaters ever get into a position of power later in life.

It is of the utmost importance that we the student body not pull our own Heather Bresch and allow this charade of a whitewashing revote to happen. Either don’t vote at all or write in whatever you want –your own name, Mario Party, Turd Fergu-

son or whatever. This revote is a joke and should be seen as one.

I honestly have no idea who would have the power to dissolve SGA but can make a promise no other SGA sociopath could follow through on – if elected I would immediately disband SGA. Let’s end the drama, save the remaining shred of integrity the University has and save some money in the process. Let’s end SGA.

Speaker Maynard emphasizes responsibility, diversity in journalism riley johnson daily nebraskan uwire

Sitting in a hotel lobby in D.C. in October 2010, Dori Maynard patiently waited for her friend to join her for breakfast. There, Maynard noticed a passerby’s shirt that said “eracism” on it.

As she went to compliment the person, a hotel security guard stopped her and told her to leave the hotel. She refused, saying she was a registered guest with the hotel. He again told her to leave, and she did.

Maynard described that experience as humiliating and felt the man made false assumptions

about her because she is a middle-aged black woman.

“He either thought I was a prostitute, homeless or potentially a homeless prostitute,” Maynard said. “What he didn’t see was a writer or a journalist.”

Maynard, president of the Oakland-based Robert C. Maynard Institute for Journalism Education, spoke about the limitations of media stereotypes inside the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Nebraska Union Auditorium Friday.

There were 20 students and community members in attendance for the event hosted by Multicultural Students in Media, a UNL student organization. Maynard said good journalism means challenging these stereotypes and getting

uncomfortable.

Journalism today, she said, falls victim to the principle that reporters write what they see.

Without the exposure to different perspectives as well as multicultural newsroom, diversity in the media suffers, Maynard said.

The way diversity is sometimes covered, Maynard said, people of color are over-reported in crime, sports and entertainment stories while underreported in political stories.

That, she said, can have drastic impacts on readers.

“If you only give people one image, they don’t know there is another image to live up to,” Maynard said.

Challenging stereotypes in reporting is one way of changing how people see themselves in

the news, she said. That means including sources of different genders, ages, races, religions and sexual orientations in a story and avoiding journalism that confirms stereotypes.

Another way to break media stereotypes is through discomfort, she said.

Journalists need to break their habits and surround themselves with people who are different from them.

To do that, Maynard suggested taking a different route home, going to a different grocery store or joining a group with a shared purpose.

Likewise, she said there needs to be a fearless mentality when reporting.

Journalists need to set aside the fear of offending or being of-

fended and recognize that they may do both, she said.

Maynard said the best solution is not to make an excuse but apologize. Everyone needs to give each other a pass because at some point each will offend the other.

Readers are dually responsible for helping improve the diversity of the media, she said.

They should notify their local media when they do a poor job and when they get it right.

Communication, she said, can also help reporters find sources and story ideas.

TeyAnjulee Leon, a freshman mathematics education major, said reader responsibility struck a note with her.

“We’re as responsible as consumers as those who put the

honor and celebrate women’s leadership around the world.

Every year since 2002, they have gathered at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to recognize women who are strengthening democracy, increasing economic opportunity and preserving human rights.

Vital Voices Global Partnership’s mission is to identify, invest in and bring visibility to extraordinary women around the

world by unleashing their leadership potential to transform lives and accelerate peace and prosperity in their communities.

Aside from meeting and learning about the courage and strength of these amazing women and what they have done to better the communities they live in, I was able to appreciate the opportunities I was given growing up.

When I was three years old,

my parents had the same courage and strength to leave everything they had in Afghanistan to allow their children to have the life they envisioned for them.

The most emotional aspect from the evening was hearing about the young children that were in the same situation I was and not having someone to save them.

In a few weeks, I will earn my degree in business administra-

news out there,” Leon said, adding that diversity is an ongoing issue for papers because of its broad reach.

Andrea Vasquez, a co-founder of Multicultural Students in Media and a senior news-editorial, broadcast and Spanish major, said diversity in the media is an issue for everyone.

She said she hoped Maynard’s speech helped journalists see the importance of changing the media’s diversity status quo.

Vasquez said the media needs to toe the line on issues of diversity and not be color-blind. To her, that means not casting stereotypes while recognizing everyone’s uniqueness.

WVU’s Luck asked peers for advice on alcohol sales AD asked for info. from Connecticut, Louisville, others

AROUND THE BIG EAST While some conferences in the country like the Southeastern Conference ban on alcohol, the Big East does not. In fact, the majority of football-playing schools in the Big East sell alcohol at their stadium.

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

When West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck made the decision to research the possibility of selling alcohol at football games, he knew he didn’t need to look far.

Luck, who admits it’s unnecessary to “reinvent the wheel,” applies the same amount of importance to “peer institutions” as University President James P. Clements.

So, Luck went to athletic departments that he trusted, specifically Connecticut and Louisville, to garner advice on the best way to sell beer in Milan Puskar Stadium.

“We tried to be as deliberate and rational as we could by talking to other schools and other public safety officials,” Luck said. “(Those schools that sell alcohol) haven’t had any significant problems. I just don’t think that your fans are that much different from the people that attend games at Louisville or UConn.”

UConn has sold alcohol at Rentschler Field since it started playing in the venue in 2003.

“We just told them, if they’re going to sell it, to make sure to check IDs and make sure that the staffs are properly trained,” said Rentschler Field Manager of Stadium Operations Jay Martyn, who met with Luck.

UConn officials told Luck to scrap the pass-out policy, which allows fans to leave the stadium at halftime and return in the second half if WVU begins selling alcohol, Martyn added.

“At West Virginia’s stadium, you can leave at halftime, go down six beers and come back and keep your buzz,” Martyn said. “If you let fans leave the facility, there is no control over what (fans) do, how much they drink or where they go.”

UConn does not make any revenue from alcohol sales, as the stadium is a public, state-

West Virginia football fans cheer on the Mountaineers during last year’s season opener against Coastal Carolina. run facility. All money made off of concessions go back to the state of Connecticut. UConn doesn’t sell alcohol in its oncampus basketball arena, Gampell Pavilion, but does at the state-owned XL Center, which Associate Athletic Director of Athletics Communications Mike Enright said is merely because of a tradition of not selling alcohol at on-campus stadiums.

“From a security standpoint, selling beer inside the stadium makes it so much easier to control,” Martyn said. “Here at our stadium, most of our problems don’t occur because we sell alcohol in the stadium, it happens out in the parking lot where you can’t control it. It’s the same at any facility in the world.”

Louisville sells alcohol at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium and has for three decades since its old stadium sat on the Kentucky State Fairgrounds, according to Senior Associate Athletic Director Kenny Klein.

The Cardinals have specific non-alcohol sections in their stadium, which is something Luck said could happen at WVU as early as this season if beer is sold at Milan Puskar Stadium.

“There are people that prefer to sit like that, so we made that available as another way to

track & Field

make the stadium appropriate for all fans,” Klein said.

The Cardinals do not break down their revenue from concessions, but in 2009 the athletic department made $400,000.

WVU could make anywhere from $500,000 to $1.2 million per season by selling beer, Luck said.

Sodexo, one of the largest concessionaires in the U.S., would handle the process of applying and obtaining an alcohol license and training staff members to sell alcohol using the Training for Intervention Procedures (TIPS) program.

This process could be completed by the start of the 2011 season, said Sodexo Public Relations Director Monica Zimmer.

“Sodexo takes appropriate measures to create a safe environment at special events held at college stadiums when alcohol is served. Our employees receive extensive training to make sure alcohol is consumed responsibly. Proper protocols are adhered to, such as only serving alcohol to patrons who are 21 or older and allowing patrons to purchase only two alcoholic beverages at a time,” Zimmer said.

Sodexo serves alcohol in less than 20 college stadium suites and club levels. It sells alcohol

in the concessions at less than five colleges.

UConn is one of those schools. Martyn said in his experience with Sodexo, the company has been professional and taken all issues with alcohol seriously.

“If they find that rules aren’t being followed, the concession workers are fired,” he said.

The NCAA doesn’t have a rule against selling alcohol at school stadiums. It does ban alcoholic beverages from all NCAA championship events.

Conferences have the right to ban alcohol sales, but the Big East Conference doesn’t.

In fact, five of the eight football-playing members (Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville, South Florida and Syracuse) sell alcohol throughout their stadiums. West Virginia and Pittsburgh serve alcohol in their suites. Rutgers is the only school to completely prohibit alcohol.

“A lot of the things that would come up would be handled institutionally, and would be limited in scope there,” said Big East Director of Communications Chuck Sullivan. He said the Big East would only step in if it felt the “institution did not do enough to mitigate” a problem.

If WVU does sell alcohol, it would do so to more fans, on

david ryan/the daily athenaeum

average, than any other Big East school. While South Florida’s Raymond James Stadium holds more fans, West Virginia has consistently the largest crowds in the conference.

The Mountaineers are 34th in the country in average attendance (56,325), and the next closest conference teams are Pittsburgh (52,165) and Louisville (50,648).

West Virginia also has one of the most rabid fan bases in the country. The school’s fans were recently rated as the thirdworst fans in America right behind Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies fans by GQ Magazine.

“Certainly, over the years, it’s not just students but regular fans that bring in all sorts of alcohol into games,” Luck said.

“That, by in large, will probably continue, because of the 60,000 fans and the limited security that we can staff at the gates and the dynamic of coming into a ball game.”

University Police Chief Bob Roberts said selling alcohol in the stadium and eliminating the pass-out policy would put less strain on his staff and could curb the abuse of alcohol.

“Perhaps that mindset will change to ‘If I want a beer, I’ll have a beer.’ I don’t know if that will happen, but I’d like to think it would in some cases,” he said.

Cincinnati Sells beer in stands Connecticut Sells beer in stands Louisville Sells beer and liquor in stands Pittsburgh Sells beer in luxury suites but not in stands Rutgers Does not allow or sell alcohol South Florida Sells beer in stands Syracuse Sells beer in stands West Virginia Sells beer in luxury suites but not in stands WVU will also have to look into infrastructure changes like how fans flow through the concourse areas of the stadium and where beer concessions would make the most sense. There may also need to be more restrooms added, Luck said.

Alcohol concessions would not be put in the student section area of Milan Puskar Stadium, and there would be no “hawkers” or vendors walking up and down aisles of the stadium selling alcohol. There will be limits to how many beers a fan can take at one time and when the sales will stop. Luck said it is likely a beer could cost $7 or $8, which he admits will be a limiting factor. WVU is not considering selling liquor.

Luck made a presentation on April 8 to the WVU Board of Governors to change a policy that prohibits selling alcohol at athletic venues. It will also remove the pass-out policy and prohibit smoking in the stadium. The policy change is currently in a 30-day comment period.

Luck has had the backing of University Police Chief Bob Roberts and the support to seek comment from the community by Clements and Morgantown Mayor Bill Byrne. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

WVU battles bad weather, North Carolina’s Barnes will return for 2011-12 season earns 4 first-place finishes by derek denneny sports writer

Adverse weather was not enough to slow down the West Virginia track and field team this weekend as it saw four first place finishes at the Kent Taylor-Joe Hilton Carolina Invitational, hosted by North Carolina.

“After we had the delay early for rain, we came out strong,” said head coach Sean Cleary following the performance. “We didn’t let anything get to us that was out of our control and just ran our race.”

Senior Chelsea Carrier continued her season-long firstplace streak in the 100-meter hurdles after posting a 13.47 finish.

“Chelsea again dominated in the hurdles,” Cleary said.

“She has been great for us all season and an inspiration for our younger runners.”

Junior Meghan Mock took

first in the long jump while also securing a Big East Conference Championship bid with her leap of 6.09 meters.

Senior April Rotilio took first place in the 400-meter dash after finishing with a time of 53.73 while Stephanie Aldea won the 3,000-meter run with a 10.04.52 showing.

The Mountaineer 4x400meter relay team also finished first after finishing in just 3:53.01.

Women’s soccer player Megan Mischler and senior Jordann Mitchell joined Carrier and Rotilio to capture the top finish.

“Overall, it was a pretty good weekend for us,” Cleary said. “Now we have to move forward and prepare for our next challenge.”

The Mountaineers will return to action April 23 at the Jesse Owens Track Classic hosted by Ohio State. derek.dennney@mail.wvu.edu

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP)— North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes will return for his sophomore season instead of declaring for the NBA draft.

Barnes was the Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the year, averaging nearly 16 points. The 6-foot-8 forward was widely regarded as the nation’s top freshman entering the season and helped the Tar Heels win 29 games and the ACC regular-season championship before falling a win short of the Final Four.

The Tar Heels will return all five starters and their top seven scorers from last season, making them a favorite to enter the year

ranked No. 1.

Harrison Barnes, who won ACC rookie of the year honors, will be one of five returning starters for UNC. “As a team, we’re preparing for a special season,” Barnes said in a statement from the school Monday. “My offseason plans are to diligently work on honing my basketball skills in all areas with one team goal in mind – to bring the 2012 national championship home to UNC.” Barnes’ announcement came nearly two weeks after 7-foot junior Tyler Zeller and 6-foot-10 sophomore John Henson also

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, you see many options through your associates and a key partner. You know when enough is enough and when a change is necessary. Timing is an innate gift, as well as the ability to be clear and insightful. Others often respond to your ideas. If you are single, you express a willingness to relate on a one-onone level. A very interesting suitor appears on the horizon. This relationship is your call. If you are attached, learn to detach. Understanding rather than triggering could be instrumental. Your sweetie needs to be dominant. SCORPIO understands you well.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Let an associate or loved one state his or her case. This person has a strong verbal style. You could make mincemeat of his or her idea, if you so choose. Talk to others; find a different path. Tonight: Enjoying a special friendship.

The later it gets, the more you enjoy yourself.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH Your imagination cannot be stomped out, yet you might choose to be a little more discreet in revealing your ideas.

A heated discussion with a higher-up encourages this discretion. Tonight: Plug some of this creativity into your love life.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You still could be acting like a tortoise. By midafternoon, you start perking up, acting and thinking more like yourself.

Put in extra hours if need be, once you are sure you are back on your feet. Tonight: Still play it low-key (if you can!).

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Keep talking until you come to an agreement. As you think through an idea, you might want to play devil’s advocate -- even for yourself! Though no one wants criticism, it could tighten up a project. Tonight: Hang out.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Others strut right in with their ideas, assuming you will go along with them.

Continued from page 3 decided to move sophomore receiver Stedman Bailey to the outside, because he was playing behind Urban in the slot.

“We thought they were two of our top four guys,” Holgorsen said. “(Bailey) had a great practice.”

Holgorsen did say the decision was aided by a shoulder injury to senior wide receiver Brad Starks.

“It’s all about what we’ve got to do to piece together the next practice,” Holgorsen said. “We felt like that was the best thing to do ... That will continue to be evaluated and more than likely change over the course of the next six months.”

This spring, the receivers who have seen the most action are Urban, Tavon Austin, J.D. Woods, Ivan McCartney and more recently, Bailey.

Back

Quarterbacks becoming comfortable It seems West Virginia has found its backup quarterback.

Holgorsen was asked about the progress of the quarterbacks following practice on Monday, and the first-year coordinator spoke only of junior Geno Smith and freshman Paul Millard. He did not discuss freshman quarterback Brian Athey.

“Geno’s very good. He’s very competitive and his body language is good. He’s learning, and the more he learns mentally, the better he’s going to look,” Holgorsen said. “Paul is

Back

At this point in the implementation of the offense into WVU’s culture, it could be anybody.

Given his skill set, Tavon Austin is the player most would assume will take the role. But don’t be surprised if it’s a player like Brad Starks, or if it’s more of an unknown such as Stedman Bailey, J.D. Woods or Tyler Urban, who Holgorsen called the most consistent receiver Monday.

Even Ryan Nehlen, a junior who hasn’t caught a pass in his collegiate career, looked sharp during Saturday’s scrimmage, finishing with two catches for 63 yards.

After all, Holgorsen admitted Justin Blackmon was, for the most part, a nobody when Holgorsen first arrived in Stillwater. Less than a year later, he had caught 111 passes for 1,782 yards and 20 touchdowns, earning the Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s top receiver.

from his offense, but there are still some kinks to work out.

“We have way too many negative plays and way too many sacks,” Holgorsen said. “We just keep addressing it and talking to them about situational stuff – the stuff that actually matters in offensive football.”

The stuff Holgorsen is talking about is ball security, which is something the Mountaineers struggled with in the cool, rainy conditions during the scrimmage.

“We had one fumble, but we had the ball on the ground

still a little slower from a mental standpoint due to the fact it’s brand new. Once he gets the ball, he typically knows where to go with it.”

Holgorsen reiterated what most believed to be true, that Smith is the obvious starter at this point, as well.

Offense holds advantage in Monday’s practice Senior cornerback Brantwon Bowser, who started in Saturday’s scrimmage on the firstteam defense, was picked on during the final 30 minutes of practice on Monday.

Three of the last four touchdowns scored in practice were against Bowser’s defense. The first came on a short hook route from Smith to wide receiver Willie Milhouse, who broke an open-field tackle by Bowser and walked into the end zone.

Later, Bowser was beaten on a slant route by sophomore receiver Ivan McCartney. Finally, receiver Tavon Austin caught a jump ball in the end zone over Bowser to end practice.

Fellow cornerback Brodrick Jenkins also struggled at times in the last 30 minutes of practice. He was beaten on a deep pass from Smith to Woods for a long touchdown.

The defensive highlight of practice was senior linebacker Najee Goode’s interception on a pass from Smith intended for McCartney across the middle. On the next play, though, Smith hooked with Woods for a touchdown. anthony.dobies@mail.wvu.edu

Amendola aren’t necessarily household names, either.

But yet, they all caught at least 1,000 yards in a season under Holgorsen.

Holgorsen has had six players catch 1,000 yards in a season since 2007. The most impressive part, however, is that they have been seven different players. His ability to develop game changers is remarkable.

Eleven different players caught at least one pass in the Mountaineers’ first full scrimmage of spring camp Saturday.

Austin led all players with three catches for 41 yards.

And while the weather conditions may have played a factor in the offense’s ability to live up to its high-powered, passlike-crazy expectations, don’t get used to WVU’s receiving statistics being so evenly divided come the regular season.

There’s a Justin Blackmon hidden somewhere on the West Virginia roster. The question is, who is going to step up and play that role for the Mountaineers this season? brian.gawthrop@mail.wvu.edu

probably four times, which is way too many,” Holgorsen said.

“In 68 snaps, we turned it over twice. What I stressed to address with them was the ball actually being on the ground five times.”

Most of those fumbles came from guys who were competing for the starting running back position, which saw a heavy workload of action in the scrimmage.

“The weather was a challenge, so we ran the ball 50 percent of the time and threw the ball 50 percent of the time,” Holgorsen said. “Depending on how games go, that may be the case, or that may not be the case.” brian.kuppelweiser@mail.wvu.edu

Square the Circle wins Battle of the Bands by alex mcpherson a&e writer

They came. They saw. They rocked.

West Virginia University’s second Battle of the Bands went off with a bang last night as five bands took to the stage to prove which was king.

Each band had 20 minutes to play its heart out.

Opening the night were freshmen phenoms Room 217.

Though the members are used to covering songs, they struggled to find their groove, but by the time their cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition” came around, they were right at home.

Second came Looking Down the Cross. Starting with their backs to the audience, the screamo band quickly overcame a small hiccup with its sample loop and rocked out like no other.

With standing fans at the base of the stage, they made sure to promote their Facebook page while tossing free shirts to the audience.

The event wasn’t just about the bands, but giving back to Kristen Basham/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM those supporters of local muKen West, lead singer for Square the Circle, accepts the $1,000 grand prize at the WVU Battle of the Bands in the Mountainlair on Monday. sic themselves. Throughout the

night, attendees were offered merchandise from sponsors Coca-Cola and The Ridge.

The third band, Square the Circle, made the audience’s importance clear. While presenting its performance, the band thanked the crowd, the judges and all the bands before them for the amazing evening.

They showed all of the class and musicianship of a band that was going places.

Bringing the biggest crowd, The State made waves in its first public outing.

Vocal levels were a bit low, but all of the energy was there as they got the crowd dancing and clapping its hands.

Finishing with a cover of The Strokes’ “Reptilia,” they walked off of stage as members of the crowd yelled “We want more.”

Rounding out the night was A Million Pieces, whose dancing fans were a spectacle in themselves.

Between the spastic dancers and glowsticks flying through the air, the band ended the evening one fist to the sky and moshers collapsing in exhaustion.

The judging panel consisted of longtime host of Morgantown Sound and member of local

band ‘85 Flood, Aaron Hawley; U92 Assistant Program Director Alex Trafecante; Mountaineer Idol runner-up Meghan Carlson; and Mike Nadis, host of U92’s “No Remorse” show.

Each band was scored from one to 10 on originality, musicianship, showmanship, audience response, band dynamic and overall performance.

“Honestly, it’s kind of awkward, because I’m a musician, and I like everyone,” Hawley said.

“I think, if you have an inkling to make art, go do it.”

Both Carlson and Nadis were pleased to see such diversity in the bands.

“It’s interesting to see the completely different switch between, for instance, Room 217 and A Million Pieces,” Carlson said. “Both brought something completely different.”

Audience members agreed.

Beth Clar, junior advertising major, and Kelsey McCoy, junior multidisciplinary studies major, were impressed by the types of bands chosen.

“It wasn’t rap,” Clar said. “It was something different for once.”

TKE members compete in Red Bull international rhythm contest by mackenzie mays associate a&e editor

“Have you ever seen four students sitting in class drumming pencils on their desks and notebooks in harmony to create a 60-second rhythmic song?” asked Adam Closkey, Red Bull Field Marketing Specialist for Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. “This is truly the first worldwide university drumming competition.”

Red Bull brought its international “Tum Tum Pa” freestyle music competition to the West Virginia University Tau Kappa Epsilon House Sunday night.

The creative rhythm contest is touring colleges around the world, asking students to create original sounds using only classroom materials and school supplies.

Four groups battled against each other in two 60-second rounds. In the first round, groups had to cover a famous song and in the second round they had to create their own act.

Team Dipset, made up of TKE members Da-Laine Beverly, Donny Redman and Dom Guillermo, was named the winning group Sunday night.

The group used staplers, Red Bull cans, pencils, CD cases, tacks and rulers to perform a cover of “Grindin’” by Clipse and

two improvisations.

“We all thought it would be sick to be in the group because we’re all musicians, so it was really easy for us to put something together, and we enjoyed the whole experience,” Beverly said, junior international studies major and TKE social chairman. “I liked this event because it required more creativity compared to other events.”

Performers were judged on rhythm, creativity and audience reaction, according to Closkey.

“The competition rewards harmony, creativity and sense of rhythm. WVU is a major university in the U.S., and we wanted to find the most creative and talented students,” Closkey said.

Closkey said the contest is the first of its kind and thrives on the creativity of minds of college students.

“In schools across the globe, students are often drumming their pencil on a desk, clicking their pen to an imaginary beat or beating a can like a drum,” Closkey said. “We take this practice to a more exciting and competitive level, giving students a platform to express their creativity.”

Senior public relations major Christina Gnozzo acted as a judge for the event and said she appreciated the uniqueness of the competition.

“It was unlike many events

Co-Ed Cheerleading Tryouts 2011-2012

I’ve been to at WVU in the past, considering people were making music and beats with random objects,” Gnozzo said. “The crowd seemed to love it and judging the event was a lot of fun.”

Gnozzo said she chose Team Dipset to win for its originality, enthusiasm, creativity and crowd interplay.

“I was looking for a team that used the most unique objects as instruments and had fun and got the crowd involved,” Gnozzo said.

A video of Dipset’s performance will be uploaded to YouTube and be voted on by the online community.

Top-rated videos will be submitted to a panel of judges who will choose five national finalists.

These finalists will represent the U.S. in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil at the Red Bull Tum Tum Pa World Finals.

“Tum Tum Pa is to provide a musical outlet for students to showcase their creativity, harmony and rhythm while having fun,” Closkey said. “The clicks, taps and bangs of Red Bull Tum Tum Pa are a universal sound. This idea of making music through creativity, rhythm and classroom objects is a really cool idea.” mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

Concert benefits Sexual Assault Awareness Month by mackenzie mays associate A&E editor

A “Rock Out Against Rape” benefit concert was held at 123 Pleasant Street on Friday.

The event raised $500 for the Morgantown Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center and HOPE, Inc., a non-profit agency located in Fairmont, W.Va. offering shelter and supportive services to sexual assault victims.

This was the second Morgantown R.O.A.R. concert held in support of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Prevention Education Spe-

cialist Danielle Conaway said the success of the event’s second year has given her high hopes for future fundraisers.

The concert was a success, Conaway said.

“A lot of people were enjoying the bands and there was a good atmosphere throughout the night,” she said. “For a second-year fundraiser, we raised a pretty solid amount that each of the rape crisis centers will benefit from.”

Conaway said she is excited about next year’s event due to the support this year.

“We had a great amount of support from local musicians,

local media and 123 Pleasant Street staff,” she said. “I think from the response on Friday’s event, Morgantown folks would be down with supporting this event next year.”

A total of 10 bands performed Friday night including local groups the High Fives and Hell Yeahs, Kaboodle Massacre, Bonfire, Jonestown and Frack.

The ROAR concert also acted as the debut performance for local group, The Howdy.

Jarrod Ott, vocalist and guitarist for the band, has been a supporter of sexual assault awareness for a number of years.

Having been friends with Conaway and connected to HOPE, Inc. for some time, Ott said participating in the benefit was a “no-brainer.”

Ott said concerts like these are one of the most efficient ways to spread the word about a good cause to college students.

“College students are sometimes more aware of the night life and social happenings than most news items,” Ott said. “A benefit at 123 Pleasant Street is a social event that most WVU kids were able to find out about through social networking and remember.”

Ott said benefits like these make him proud to be a contributing member to the arts and he is thankful for the opportunities performing allows.

“Musicians are known for being socially conscience, and the song is a powerful way to transfer a political agenda to the masses without seeming preachy or heavy handed,” Ott said.

Prevention educators from local Rape and Domestic Violence Centers were on hand at the concert providing information on statistics concerning local assaults and services offered, according to Conaway.

Conaway said Friday night’s performances were recorded and talk of a compilation album is in the works.

“Sexual assault happens in Morgantown. It happens everywhere. It happens to men and women, girls and boys,” Conaway said. “We can all do something to help by believing survivors, listening to their stories and spreading the word about support services that are available in our communities.” mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

actors have played the Doctor Despite being played by 11 Doctors, the character is the same. Whenever he is mortally wounded, the Doctor regenerates – renewing his outer appearance and personality while retaining the same memories.

The Doctor travels in time and space The Doctor travels in time and space with his TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space).

His ship looks like a 1960s English police box due to a faulty camouflage circuit. It also has many rooms as-yet unexplored, including a library that may or may not have a pool in it.

He travels with companions The Doctor doesn’t like to travel alone. The Doctor has always had humans – and aliens – saving the universe with him. His current companions are newlyweds Amy and Rory Pond.

He first met Amy after regenerating from his 10th persona when she was a little girl.

The Doctor has enemies

You can’t be a 900-year-old Time Lord and not have enemies. The Doctor saves all of time and space, ending nefarious plots of the Cybermen (left) and the Daleks (right). Frequent enemies include the Sontarans, Weeping Angels and the Master.

In this next season, the Doctor will come face-to-face with the Silents.

Justin Lawrence, web promoter for DubVnightlife, made it out for his second year to take in all of the local music.

“The turnout was great,” Lawrence said. “They really brought their crowds with them.”

Throughout the night, around 200 people made it to the Mountainlair Ballroom to support their local favorites.

“Bands need more oppor-

tunities like these to play in the community and at the University,” Lawrence said. “It’s great that WVU can get sponsors behind them.”

Last year’s prize went to Fletcher’s Grove, and each band involved this year wanted to join its ranks.

With all performers on stage, second place and $250 from The Ridge went to A Million Pieces.

The winning group, awarded $1,000 from Coca-Cola, were veterans Square the Circle, who understandably proclaimed they

were going to Disney World.

“It was a definite honor,” said drummer Jake Henham. “I was shocked and didn’t know what to expect. Everyone had their own unique style and was very good at their craft.”

Paul Bettany stars in upcoming vampire flick ‘Priest.’

Summer is almost here.

This means we will see if those glorious trailers shown in the past several months fulfill their promises of laughs, action and just plain awesomeness. As we head into the blockbuster season, here are a few recent previews for some of cinema’s finest offerings.

“Priest:” OK, I know vampires are a tired genre, but “Priest” could be a breath of fresh air with its gothic tone and vampires that are actually – ahem – scary.

The most recent trailer released of the film, starring Paul Bettany (“The Da Vinci Code”) and Maggie Q (“Nikita”), showcases great action and impressive visual effects.

Also, the film has several slow-motion scenes involving cool weapons. I’m down.

See it in theaters on May 13.

“Green Lantern:” I was not impressed with the first “Green Lantern” trailer.

There, I said it.

But with a new premiere at WonderCon, the movie has won me over with its detailed effects and colorful, other-

worldly environments.

Ryan Reynolds (“Buried”) looks to be perfect in the role of hero Hal Jordan, a test pilot who receives a magical ring that grants him otherworldly powers.

From the preview, director Martin Campbell (“Casino Royale”) seems to have smoothly transitioned into the world of comic books, and we already know he has an experienced hand in action.

The green comic book hero will be making his theatrical debut on June 17.

“Bad Teacher:” Cameron Diaz has a potty mouth.

Like, big time.

This is evident in the (Rrated) trailer of her new film “Bad Teacher.”

Diaz stars as Elizabeth, a middle school teacher who just doesn’t give a s***.

When a handsome, promising faculty member (Justin Timberlake) enters the school, Elizabeth decides she is going to win him over by raising money to get breast implants.

But there is one catch.

To get money, she has to start caring about her job.

This should be a hoot, especially since Diaz steps into a different role than anything we’ve seen her in before.

Also, it comes from the di-

screen gems

rector of “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story,” and stars Jason Segel (“Forgetting Sarah Marshall”).

We’ll see if “Bad Teacher” makes the grade on June 24.

“Friends With Benefits:” From the director of “Easy A” comes a hilarious-looking rom-com in the vein of “No Strings Attached,” except with sharper comedy and an allaround better cast.

From the trailer, Mila Kunis (“Black Swan”) and Justin Timberlake look to exhibit fun chemistry, and there are a bevy of hilarious moments.

We’ll see if these friends can keep their feelings strictly in the bedroom on July 22.

“Cowboys and Aliens:” Yes, I know this was featured in the last “Trailin,” but its promos just keep getting better.

The latest sneak peek we get of the graphic novel adaptation may be quick, but there is plenty of action to behold.

This film has so many things going for it, from the director of “Iron Man” to the writers of “Lost” to Harrison Ford.

Seeing how this western sci-fi isn’t released until July 29, it’s going to be a long three months. jesse.tabit@mail.wvu.edu

‘You Don’t Know Jack,’ an entertaining trivia game jamie carbone campus calender editor

Long ago in the year 1995, there was a trivia game for computers that no one had ever seen before.

It took questions almost entirely from popular culture and constantly insulted players when they made a mistake, destroying their selfesteem for fun, proclaiming they “didn’t know jack.”

Now, after years of silence, “You Don’t Know Jack” has returned to consoles with the same belittling attitude.

“You Don’t Know Jack” gives players 73 humorous episodes which they can play by themselves, with friends or online.

Each episode is hosted

by Cookie Masterson, a fictional game show host who may be familiar to players who have played the game’s predecessors.

The episodes each have 10 rounds, usually named after a pop culture phenomenon or a pun.

Some of these rounds have special rules, such as “DisorDat,” where the player with the lowest score must decide which category certain words belong in, such as names of popes or Britney Spears songs.

Other questions have an extra wacky factor built in, such as “Who’s the Dummy?” in which players have to listen to a confusing question asked by the host’s ventriloquist dummy with a speech impediment.

Each episode features a “Wrong Answer of the Game,” where a ridiculous company sponsors an incorrect answer and, if players select it, they win a nonsensical item such as barrel clothing or a large fish.

Getting the wrong answer also rewards them more than if they had answered it correctly.

In multiplayer mode, play-

ers are also given a screw, an attack they can use against their opponents to speed up the clock and make things more difficult, although not impossible.

The biggest difference between “You Don’t Know Jack” and other games is that, while “Scene It” and other consolebased trivia games may randomly select their questions, ‘Jack’ always uses the same questions in each round.

It gives the players something they can expect, but it takes away any suspense.

While the series frequently uses pop culture in their questions, it combines them with ridiculous scenarios too, such as Salvador Dali working at a sandwich shop.

These joke situations are hit-or-miss, with some being delightful and others groan-inducing.

The same can be said of the hosting and commercials that appear in the game, but they seem to enjoy toilet humor most of all.

While there is a singleplayer mode, there isn’t any reason to play it unless you’re trying to get trophies or achievements for your console.

The game plays best with friends, or at least real people.

The questions themselves are typically the kind that make players think and stay on their toes, but there is no variance of game play.

The questions will always be asked the same way with the same musical introduction time and time again.

Even a slight change in formula would be nice.

Still, it is a good return for a series that many consider great and, for the trivia nuts out there, this game deserves a spot in their collection.

Regardless of your decision, at the end of each round, the game has one message: “You Don’t Know Jack.”
