Campione, Seebaugh lead Revolution to election sweep by bryan bumgardner associate city editor

In a clean sweep, The Revolution was elected to be the 2013-14 West Virginia Student Government body. After a record voter turnout of 15.41 percent, every member of The Revolution ticket was elected. The election results were announced by precinct last night in the food court of the Mountainlair, showing The Revolution receiving overwhelming support from all voting locations, including Health Sciences, Evansdale and Downtown campuses. “We picked this ticket out of the entire student body, the best of the best,” said vice-president elect Benjamin Seebaugh. “The fact that we had a record year (for voting) and then to have swept the election – it clearly shows our supporters supported our philosophy and our mission as a whole.”

Hamaza Abdullah has been in the NFL for seven years and spent time in Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Denver and most recently, Arizona. His brother has put in four years all with the Minnesota Vikings. Both brothers said they have decided to put their professional football careers on hold to pursue a higher

calling. In order to satisfy one of the five pillars of Islam, the brothers took a journey, first to speak at mosques across the country and onto fulfilling their Hajj. “It is the most difficult pillar,” Hamaza said. “It is said in the Quran that if you have the means, the health and wealth to do it, do it, and we kind of fell into that category.” While realizing taking a year off of football could put

Event to raise money for Nicaraguan coffee cooperative by emily cotter correspondent

Fair Trade 2.0 will be hosting the FirstHand Cafe Night at Mountain People’s Cooperative tonight at 6:00 p.m. to benefit La Hermandad, a Nicaraguan coffee cooperative. The event will provide freshly brewed FirstHand coffee, snacks and baked goods from the Venerable Bean, the vegan bakery operated out of the Mountain People’s Cooperative. “FirstHand Cafe Night is very similar to our coffee hours we have every Friday in Brooks (Hall,) but we do it at (Mountain People’s) Coop in order to increase our community involvement,”

said Tyler Huling, Fair Trade 2.0 president. “We really value our relationship with them.” One hundred percent of the profits from the FirstHand Cafe Night will be given directly to La Hermandad for income diversity projects. For farmers, diversity of income is paramount. Any insect, drought or disease can drastically affect a farmer’s yield. When farmers are dependent on one crop and that crop fails, the family suffers. This one income pays for their home, education and food. Currently, a fungus known as Hemileia vastatrix, known for causing coffee rust, has

spread throughout much of Central America, including Nicaragua. Many coffee farmers, especially organic farmers, have suffered an extreme loss in the amount of coffee available. La Hermandad has suffered a 30 percent loss. Geography student Mikaela Roselius, a member of Fair Trade 2.0, visited La Hermandad last summer with a few other West Virginia University students. “For me it was my first exposure to the work that Fair Trade 2.0 and FirstHand do,” she said. “I learned a lot about things I never even really considered.” Her favorite part was meeting the residents of La

Hermandad. “They took really good care of us,” she said. “They didn’t have much to give, and yet they gave us all they had.” The members of the coop may not have many material things, but they have a sense of community with the earth. For instance, rather than growing different crops in designated sections, they grow them together to better increase their yield. “By growing the bananas in with the coffee, it actually helps put water back into the ground for the coffee,” Roselius said. “It was cool to see how that very much goes into their lifestyle as well.” Roselius said Fair Trade

The 2013-14 West Virginia University Student Government Association election saw a more than 50 percent increase in votes cast this year, making it the highest voter turnout in recent years. According to an official summary report, of the 27,829 eligible voters, 4,289 WVU students took to the polls this week. Elections committee cochair Josh Harrison said he attributes the high turnout to the candidates campaign strategies and efforts by the election committee. “I like to think the increase in media coverage from all sides and what we’ve been able to do with the new machines and both campaigns. I’ve told both of them many times that they are the ones that help us get voters out,” he said. According to the report, Ryan Campione and Ben Seebaugh of The Revolution swept the election by receiving 2,543 votes, which comprised 60.23 percent of the total turnout. Christian Guy and Andrea Mucino received 1,679 votes – 39.77 percent of total turnout. In last year’s election, 9.6 percent of the student body voted in the SGA election. This year, the polls saw 15.41 percent of eligible voters turnout. Harrison said the increase excited him as he believes it shows an increased student involvement. “In one year, it’s a big jump,” he said. “It makes me very happy because last year I think people were just really apathetic, and that’s what really hurt turnout more than anything else. There was just a lot of apathy and just not a lot of interest from the student body in student government.” Harrison said he believes students should show interest in SGA, and he believes this year’s election turnout is a step in the right direction. “This is the same as politics in general. Regardless of if you care or not, politics are going to affect your life. They make policy; they set (an) agenda for the year, they decide what projects are going to happen in terms of student involvement,” he said. “It’s really important. If you care about being a student here you should care about these leaders.” President-elect Ryan Campione said he attributes the turnout to the simplicity of the new process and efforts put forth from both parties. “It’s spectacular. The very first thing I have to say is we didn’t do it alone. Both parties put in a phenomenal amount of effort, hard work and dedication throughout the whole campaign. Voter turnout has to be attributed to both of them,” he said. “The new process has been easily one of the most efficient, painfree, student-friendly service we’ve ever had.” Campione said he hopes the turnout for this year’s SGA election will spark students’ interest in

must not eat or drink from sun up to sun down, which can be daunting with such an intense program. “You’d be amazed at the mentality you have when you’re fasting. You’re not worried about being tired, being hunger or being thirsty; you already know that, so don’t even worry about it,” Husain said. “We have been blessed to have some very good games during the month of Ramadan.” Traveling and spreading the message of Islam has been a huge priority for the brothers, and being African American and Muslim has put them on a platform to be leaders and spokesmen for their race and religion. “Being African American Islam is a double whammy. I looked in the mirror, and

I said ‘deal with it’,” Husain said. Hamaza and Husain said they are committed to being the best athletes, fathers and husbands while staying fully devoted to their faith no matter what obstacles they face. “We are just young kids from L.A.,” Husain said, “Did I think we’d be in prestigious universities and talking? And to be honest with you, no, probably not, but you never know who’s watching, and you never know who can be of benefit.” The two said their main goal is to change misconceptions of their faith and to show their unconditional respect toward all men while encouraging students to better themselves. “We didn’t do it for personal gain,” Hamaza said.

“We understood that there was going to be some naysayers, but you know what, they are talking about Islam, and that’s one of our goals is to get people just talking about it because how do you understand something if you never talk about it?” Despite the negativity they receive, they have an immense group of supporters, and part of their cross-country tour was to meet those who have been sticking up for them and their religion. “This is one of the opportunities for us to try and promote the good in Islam, and you might say this is what’s bad in Islam, but at least we are talking about it,” Hamaza said.

Between cheers and laughter, Seebaugh shared his anticipation. “I’m unbelievably excited to see what next year has to hold,” he said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Benedict becomes 1st pope in 600 years to resign

Vatican Swiss guards close the main door of the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome Thursday. CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Benedict XVI left the Catholic Church in unprecedented limbo Thursday as he became the first pope in 600 years to resign, capping a tearful day of farewells that included an extraordinary pledge of obedience to his successor. As bells tolled, two Swiss Guards standing at attention at the papal palace in Castel Gandolfo shut the thick wooden doors shortly after 8 p.m., symbolically closing out a papacy whose legacy will be most marked by the way it ended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a resignation instead of a death. Benedict, who will spend his first two months of retirement inside the palace walls, leaves behind an eight-year term shaped by struggles to move the church beyond clerical sex abuse scandals and to reawaken Christianity in an indifferent world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; efforts his successor will now have to take up. For the time being, the governance of the Catholic Church shifts to Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the camerlengo, or chamberlain, who along with the College of Cardinals will guide the church and make plans for the conclave to elect the 266th leader of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.2 billion Catholics. One of Bertoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first acts was to lock the papal apartment inside the Vatican. In another task steeped in symbolism, he will ensure that Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring and seal are destroyed. On Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last day, the mood was vastly differ-

ent inside the Vatican than at Castel Gandolfo. At the seat of the popes, Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff tearfully bade the pontiff good-bye in scenes of dignified solemnity. A more lively atmosphere reigned in the countryside, with well-wishers jamming the hilltop townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main square shouting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Viva il Papa!â&#x20AC;? (Long live the pope!) and wildly waving the yellow and white flags of the Holy See. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am simply a pilgrim beginning the last leg of his pilgrimage on this Earth,â&#x20AC;? Benedict told the cheering crowd in his final public words as pope. It was a remarkable bookend to a papacy that began on April 19, 2005 with a similarly meek speech delivered from the loggia overlooking St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square, where the newly elected Benedict said he was but a â&#x20AC;&#x153;simple humble worker in the vineyard of the Lord.â&#x20AC;? Over eight years, Benedict tried to set the church on a more traditional course, convinced that all the ills afflicting it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sexual abuse, dwindling numbers of priests and empty pews â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were a result of a misreading of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. His successor is likely to follow in his footsteps given that the vast majority of the 115 cardinals who will elect the next pope were appointed by Benedict himself and share his conservative bent. For the most part, his cardinals have said they

understood Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. But Sydney Cardinal George Pell caused a stir on Thursday by saying it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;slightly destabilizingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a rare critique of a pope by one of his cardinals. Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey into retirement began with a final audience with his cardinals Thursday morning, where he sought to defuse concerns about his future role and the possible conflicts arising from the peculiar situation of having both a reigning pope and a retired one living side-by-side inside the Vatican. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among you is also the future pope, whom I today promise my unconditional reverence and obedience,â&#x20AC;? Benedict told the cardinals. Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to live at the Vatican in retirement, be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;emeritus popeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Holinessâ&#x20AC;? rather than revert back to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joseph Ratzingerâ&#x20AC;? and wear the white cassock associated with the papacy has deepened concerns about the shadow he might cast over the next papacy. Benedict has tried to address those worries over the past two weeks, saying that once retired he would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;hidden from the worldâ&#x20AC;? and living a life of prayer. On Thursday he took a step further with his own public pledge to place himself entirely under the authority of the new pope. Benedict also gave a final set of instructions to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;princesâ&#x20AC;? of the church who will elect his successor, urging them to be united as they huddle to choose the

next pope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;May the College of Cardinals work like an orchestra, where diversity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an expression of the universal church â&#x20AC;&#x201C; always works toward a higher and harmonious agreement,â&#x20AC;? he said. It was seen as a clear reference to the deep internal divisions that have come to the fore in recent months following the leaks of sensitive Vatican documents that exposed power struggles and allegations of corruption inside the Vatican. The audience inside the Apostolic Palace was as unique as Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to quit, with the pope, wearing his crimson velvet cape and using a cane, bidding farewell to his closest advisers and the cardinals themselves bowing to kiss his fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ring for the last time. A few hours later, Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest aide, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein, wept by his side as they took their final walk down the marbled halls of the Apostolic Palace to their motorcade that took them to the helipad at the top of a hill in the Vatican gardens. As bells tolled in St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and in church towers across Rome, Benedict took off in a helicopter that circled St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square, where banners reading â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank Youâ&#x20AC;? were held up skyward so he could see. He flew to Castel Gandolfo, where he has spent his summers enjoying the quiet gardens overlooking Lake Albano. Around the time he took

off, the Vatican sent a final tweet from Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Twitter account, (at)Pontifex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for your love and support. May you always experience the joy that comes from putting Christ at the centre of your lives.â&#x20AC;? Soon afterward, that tweet and all Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous ones were deleted and the profile was changed to read â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sede Vacante.â&#x20AC;? And a few seconds past 8 p.m., the soft click of the 20-foot-high wooden door at Castel Gandolfo closed, signaling the end of the papacy. A Vatican official was then seen taking down the Holy Seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s white and yellow flag from the Castel Gandolfo residence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the pope right here at home,â&#x20AC;? said Anna Maria Togni, who walked two kilometers (one mile) from the outskirts of Castel Gandolfo to witness history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel a tenderness toward him.â&#x20AC;? Benedict set his resignation in motion Feb. 11, when he announced that he no longer had the â&#x20AC;&#x153;strength of mind and bodyâ&#x20AC;? do to the job. It was the first time that a pope had resigned since Pope Gregory XII stepped down in 1415 to help end a church schism. In the weeks since Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement, speculation has mounted whether other factors were to blame. By the time his final day came around though, Benedict seemed perfectly serene with his decision. The Vatican spokes-

man, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pledge to obey his successor was in keeping with his effort to â&#x20AC;&#x153;explain how he intends to live this unprecedented situation of an emeritus pope.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has no intention of interfering in the position or the decisions or the activity of his successor,â&#x20AC;? Lombardi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as every member of the church, he says fully that he recognizes the authority of the supreme pastor of the church who will be elected to succeed him.â&#x20AC;? The issue of papal obedience is important for Benedict. In his last legal document, he made new provisions for cardinals to make a formal, public pledge of obedience to the new pope at his installation Mass, in addition to the private one they traditionally make inside the Sistine Chapel immediately after he is elected. The Rev. Thomas Reese, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside the Vatican,â&#x20AC;? a guide to the Vatican bureaucracy, welcomed Benedictâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similarly public pledge, saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is room in the church for only one pope and his pledge of obedience shows that Benedict does not want to be used by anyone to undermine the authority of the new pope.â&#x20AC;? He said he would have preferred Benedict to go back to his given name and eschew the white of the papacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Symbols are important in the church,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A NEW ERA mel moraes/the daily athenaeum

Members of The Revolution celebrate after their SGA election sweep Thursday. The results are in. Finally, after weeks of grueling preparations and a seemingly endless campaign, West Virginia University has officially elected a new Student Government Association. Thanks in large part to record turnout, The Revolution swept into power, winning every election from Athletic Council to student body President and Vice President. Earlier this week, The

Daily Athenaeum editorial board endorsed Ryan Campione and Benjamin Seebaugh because of their demonstrated leadership potential and their desire to increase transparency within SGA. We would like to congratulate them, along with the rest of their party members, for running a clean, successful campaign. Now, it’s time to get to work. Campione and See-

baugh ran an anti-establishment campaign, promising to drastically change the way SGA does business. Clearly, this message resonated with a sizable number of students who have been disillusioned by the lack of transparency and corruption that have plagued SGA for the past several years. It is now their responsibility to follow through on the promise of their campaign and

implement the sweeping changes they claimed they would. In particular, we are hopeful their campaign promise to increase transparency of SGA’s activity will be fulfilled. It is absolutely inexcusable that details of SGA’s expenses are not made publicly available, and we are hopeful Campione and Seebaugh will make sure this is no longer the case.

On March 1, failing a massive concession by either the Republican or Democratic leadership in Washington, D.C., the government will enact automatic spending cuts of over $85 billion over all the different programs it oversees. As required by the 2011 budget compromise that allowed the debt ceiling to be raised, the automatic budget cuts touch on defense spending, Medicare and other government programs like air traffic control and education. The plan for these cuts was designed to make sure that both parties have a reason to come to the table and compromise on a way to balance the budget before the cuts were enacted. Republicans wouldn’t want defense spending cut, and Democrats would want to protect social services endangered by the cuts. In theory, it was definitely a plausible idea. However, given the increasing dysfunction of Congress, talks have come to a screeching halt. House Republicans want spending cuts only, while Senate Democrats and President Obama want to close tax loopholes for the extremely wealthy. At this point though, it doesn’t really matter how it is resolved, just that it is. The cuts will be devastating to any person in the United States except those who are making the decision to stall over the debate and have the cuts enacted. After all, the politicians’ salaries aren’t going to be cut. Congressmen and senators aren’t going to be the ones getting laid off. No, the bureaucrats and the teachers and the people who actually keep this

Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, and GOP leaders meet with reporters on Capitol Hill. country going are the ones who will take on the burden of yet another spectacular failure by Congress to put their petty ideological war over the needs of the people they claim to represent. Defense cuts include more than 46,000 temporary lay-offs, 860,000 employees given a 14-day unpaid leave of absence and maintenance on most facilities, weapons systems and vehicles stopped until further notice. All FBI workers will be given 14 days of furlough, and 36,000 prison

workers will also be furloughed for an average of 12 days. In an effort to reduce the impending strain on the prison system, several hundred illegal immigrants were released from prison facilities in the past week. Social services cuts are going to be no prettier. Nearly 14,000 teachers are expected to be laid- off in the budget crunch, increasing the burden on those who don’t get fired and further crippling our already lacking educational system.

Food inspection workers, air traffic controllers and the many other people responsible for our safety will be furloughed or fired over the next month. It’s bad for the people who rely on their services for safe food and travel, but the people who work in the sectors getting slashed will hurt the most. Student grants are expected to be slashed as another casualty of politics that may affect you or someone you know. If they don’t care about federal employees, maybe

they’ll care about what their financial backers will think. The decrease in military spending will make the weapons manufacturers very irate and probably push the two sides together in order to work out a deal. The economy will surely slow down as a result of the cuts, and pressure from the financial institutions that our government is so mysteriously beholden to will cause them to compromise on this issue. It’s just so sad for me to finally recognize how com-

pletely out of touch the government is with the people they claim to represent. I used to have faith in the political system, but it has become clear to me that both parties are off playing political games over ideology and have become completely oblivious to the impact their decisions have on the lives of the people who got them there. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter what their motivations for passing a deal are, it just matters that there is one.

Walking Dead video game takes different angle than show

distructoid.com

The Walking Dead video game allows users to fight zombies in the style of the AMC original series.

KIRK AUVIL Columnist

The Walking Dead is a pretty hot intellectual property these days. Since AMC began making the super successful show, sales of The Walking Dead graphic novel have heated up, but a quick survey of the show or the graphic novels will tell anyone that the mega-violent nature does not seemingly lend itself to glacially paced adventure game play. A deeper reflection on what makes The Walking Dead so compelling reveals the genius behind the choice to create an adventure game in this universe. The hallmarks of The Walking Dead’s film and comic incarnations make it distinctive compared to other zombie entertainment. One of the hallmarks is that its characters are of-

NEW YORK (AP) — Idina Menzel, who won a Tony Award as the green witch in “Wicked,” is planning a return to Broadway. Producers of a new musical by the creators of the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Next to Normal” announced Thursday that Menzel will star in their “If/Then,” a Broadwaybound musical that first takes a stop this fall in Washington, D.C. Tom Kitt will supply the music, Brian Yorkey will write the story and lyrics, and Michael Greif will direct. All three did the same jobs for “Next to Normal.” The new show will make its

Most types of games are about empowering players to change their surroundings and dictate events as they go, but adventure games are a different kind. They’re about using your head and figuring things out from a more human perspective rather than running and gunning through every scenario. Warner Bros. could have commissioned a Dead Rising clone and slapped The Walking Dead on the box. They could have made the game all about the trademark brutality that permeates The Walking Dead’s setting. It would have sold a million copies, but the choice to make the game to the strengths of the IP shows great vision on Warner Bros. behalf. They realized that the real draw of The Walking Dead doesn’t lie in its routine splattering of zombies. And not only that, someone at the company knew exactly who to call with the project: Telltale Games, veteran adventure game creators. Critical reception of the Walking Dead video game has been rapturous, immediately vindicating both Warner Bros. decision and Telltale Games’ craftsmanship. It won upwards

of five “Game of the Year” awards, in addition to very high scores from nearly every review outlet in town. Its emergence onto the sequelsodden turf of the gaming scene was totally out of the blue, almost on par with the sudden emergence of Minecraft, as the must-play indie experience of the year. The takeaway from all of this is twofold. First, if a company takes the time to actually understand what the real values of its IPs are, they can create entertainment experiences that play to the strengths of their IPs rather than highlight their deficiencies. Second, game developers need to realize that pushing more buttons doesn’t make game play better. Telling gripping stories, creating compelling characters and posing interesting dilemmas are powerful game play elements. There will always be games with fully destructible environments, heartpumping explosions and 60 frames per second action. But if this Walking Dead adventure game has taught us anything, it’s that these things aren’t always necessary to make something special. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

ten thrust into incredibly trying circumstances with no acceptable choices to make. These choices reveal a great deal about whom the characters are, more than many shows do in entire seasons with reams and reams of dialogue. Another essential component of The Walking Dead’s magic is that, at its heart, none of it is really about zombies. They are just another hazard. They color the story, but they don’t define it. The Walking Dead is about people. It’s about what we as humans do when ripped away from all we have ever known and thrust into a new world where everything is always in flux. The zombies are part of that, but they’re not the centerpiece. Because of that, The Walking Dead is a much more universal narrative, as the best art tends to be. So with these traits in mind, the rationale behind making a Walking Dead adventure game becomes clearer. They needed a game that would capture the desperation and moral gray areas that come with being thrust into impossible circumstances. That kind of situation is not enjoyable from a typical gameplay perspective.

world premiere this November at the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., and then go on to open on Broadway in March 2014. Producers said the musical will center on the character of Elizabeth, who on the verge of turning 40, moves to New York. “Set against the evershifting landscape of modern day Manhattan, `If/Then’ is a romantic and original new musical about how choice and chance collide and how we learn to love the fallout,” producers said in a statement. Menzel made her Broadway debut in “Rent” and won a Tony as Elphaba in “Wicked.” Her films include

“Enchanted,” `’Rent” and “Ask the Dust.” She also has launched a solo recording career and had a recurring role on TV in “Glee.” “I’ve experienced the beauty of working on original musicals and was eager to find a project where the material was exciting and new and spoke to my heart. I’m thrilled to have finally found it – an original musical with a complex, flawed, and surprising central character that I cannot wait to bring to life onstage,” she said in a statement. “If/Then” is being produced by David Stone, who produced both “Wicked” and “Next to Normal.”

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed 3â&#x20AC;&#x2122; vows to kill your free time

thealivezone.com

A character from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed 3â&#x20AC;&#x2122; dashes away from the middle of a battle during the American Revolution.

Jamie Carbone A&E Writer

Once again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for gamers across the world to don their hoodies and hidden blades so they can overthrow the secret government conspiracy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in a video game, not the real world. Please do not attack any members of a secret government conspiracy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it will end poorly. Ubisoft has moved their popular murder franchise to the days of the American revolution with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed 3,â&#x20AC;? which is actually the 8th game released. Over are the stories of Ezio and Al-

tair, now replaced by Ratonhnhake:ton, or Connor, the son of a Native American and a European who has been pulled into the Assassin-Templar conspiracy, as well as the Revolutionary War. He must fight alongside the likes of Samuel Adams and George Washington against the British crown and loyalist traitors, as well as wild animals, which attack exactly when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want them to. Players also take on the role of Desmond, Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern day descendant, who is also working to figure out why the super-evolved society that preceded mankind died out and how to stop it from happening again.

Honestly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed 3â&#x20AC;? is probably not the best place to jump into the series as a whole. Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is a fascinating look at our own history, focusing on characters you may have heard of but never discovered why they were so important to our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding, but it also shows a willingness to showcase events that may paint founding fathers in a less positive light. No white-washing here. Desmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story is convoluted and left me frustrated like â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Heart Huckabees,â&#x20AC;? but Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tale picks up some of the slack. That said, the gameplay feels slightly unfinished. Certain events may not play out properly with

character AIs glitching and occasionally characters will just disappear into the floor into gray nothingness. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if, when running across tree tops, you inexplicably leap in the wrong direction and die. Also, Connor is perhaps too powerful, with enemies rarely giving him any trouble thanks to the myriad of abilities at his finger tips. Even against stronger foes, Connor is an unstoppable force of death. Still, the story does a solid job of carrying these issues and the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporting cast definitely make it memorable. Multiplayer also makes a return without too much of a change from its predeces-

sors, but is still worth playing for those who are sick of FPS games like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haloâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call of Dutyâ&#x20AC;? and want to try a new method of embarrassing people online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed 3â&#x20AC;? is also releasing episodic downloadable content called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Tyranny of King Washingtonâ&#x20AC;? where Connor wakes up in a world where he never assisted in the Revolution and George Washington has crowned himself king, ruling the United States with an iron fist. The first chapter, where the player must find Benedict Arnold, has already been released and takes away some of Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equipment in exchange for granting him new abilities,

like turning invisible. Again, the writing is superb, and while there are two more chapters to come, this DLC is already worth checking out for anyone who owns the game. Overall, this latest series installment has its weaknesses, but at the end of the day, its a great musketmurder simulator. The game is available on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and Wii U, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creed 3â&#x20AC;? proves 3rd time isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the always the charm, but it is worth checking out.

Unique, local lineup to play at 123 BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER

Four eclectic, but supremely talented bands will be making their way to 123 Pleasant Street Monday: Goodwolf, Ancient Shores, Sleepwalker and Sweet Life. With such a disparatesounding lineup of acts, things are going to be interesting indeed. The diversity of the bill greatly increases the likelihood showgoers will hear something they dig on the evening. Goodwolf, the side project of Tyler Grady – also a member of Sleepwalker – initially has the feel of a very intimate, post-grunge band, but then you realize it’s something more. Out of the band’s powerful, distorted chords ooze a blatantly sincere display of emotion at mid-tempo. Grady’s vocal stylings prove to be very versatile, with both a soulful croon and a forceful, passionate tone well suited for anthemic choruses. In addition, Grady truly proves to be a master of emotive chord progressions on the project’s numerous ballads.

Want that sweet internship next fall?

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD One internship, dozens of applicants and a few months to get ready. How can you stand out? Taking summer classes couldn’t hurt. Think of it: you might find that one special class that will put you ahead of the crowd or give you the perfect skills you need. Or maybe you’ll just want to dazzle them by putting a course on your resume that the other applicants might not have taken yet. BAM! And it can’t hurt to show how dedicated and hard working you are, or to bring up your average, right? There are three summer sessions at Gannon University. The first begins May 13. If that interferes with your trip to the beach, the sessions starting on May 28 or July 1 might be a better fit. Okay. Ready? Find out more at gannon.edu/summer today!

The next band, Ancient Shores, do not have any ballads. That’s because they’re an intensity packed speed ball of a hardcore band. Raw, aggressive and unapologetically abrasive are just some of a multitude of angry-sounding words that likely still won’t do these Morgantown natives’ vitriol its due justice. This is amplified by some downright blood-curdling vocal work. The band is full of surprises, however, often making great use of heavily distorted lowend combined with a subtle but brilliant sense of serene melody. Another group again vastly different than the last is well-respected act, Sleepwalker, who convey an exotic blend of atmospheric, contemplative, indie rock. The band shows no fear in crafting songs with a sense of space and power at the same time. Tripped out, chilledback sections collide with cathartic progressions and are held together by the super tight drumming of Patrick Manzi. The uneasiness of their sound really lives up to the title of their album, “The Dark One.”

Last but not least is Sweet Life. These guys are the epitome of a quality stoner-punk band. Riding the momentum of their new Disenchanted EP, they will surely be looking to throw down with a great performance. They have the chops to do it, as well. The band displays a knack for creating vocal harmonies and placing them over slamming and galloping rhythmic sections rich with rock ‘n roll sensibilities but never forgetting their punk roots. With a dash of their own progressive touches, the band has generated a mind-altering sound all their own. It’s easy to see that attendees will be in for a night of great music uncaged by genre boundaries. This is the show to go see some bands and meet somebody from outside your comfort zone, as it’s likely the audience will be just as diverse as the bands playing. This talent-rich, pickyour-poison kind of lineup can be seen in its entirety Monday at 123 Pleasant Street. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

For starters, the 32-yearold comedian-actor doesn’t like making eye contact. When he writes his jokes, he has to do it in a “think tank” - alone, in his home. He also has to stand on top of an apple box when performing. Sometimes, he has to stand on two of them. That’s why collaborating with the “SNL” cast and crew feels like a new process for Hart, who is hosting the NBC show this weekend. “I am what you would a call a genius,” said Hart, as the “SNL” cast and crew burst into laughter. “So this process here is a little different. ... A lot of people came in the room and were looking into my eyes and it threw me off a

little bit,” he says jokingly, but in a serious tone. “So I just closed my eyes and let them talk and kind of took it all in. And then I recited everything they said.” Hart was in good spirits and self-deprecating as usual - as he shot “SNL” promos with Jason Sudeikis and Bobby Moynihan on Tuesday. His hosting gig on “SNL” is another notch on his growing resume: He hosted last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, has appeared on ABC’s “Modern Family” and starred in the romantic comedy “Think Like a Man.” He’s also the star of the BET parody series “Real Husbands of Hollywood” (Tuesday, 10 p.m. EST) with Robin Thicke and Nick Cannon. The Philadelphia-born Hart said he’s “anxious,” but not worried, about hosting “SNL.” “You can’t get nervous about what you love to do. This is what I love to do, so

the opportunity to do it on this stage is ridiculous,” he said. Duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, known for their hit “Thrift Shop,” will perform Saturday night. Hart says he’s a fan of group – sort of. “I am a fan now `cause I found out who they were when I realized they were going to be on the show with me. So because of the Internet and the Google search, I Googled them,” he said, as others laughed. “I educated myself – almost another genius move of mine – to think to Google somebody that I didn’t know.” So is Hart enjoying the group’s massive, multiplatinum anthem about buying used clothes? “I didn’t hear that. Didn’t hear that one. Don’t know what that one is,” he said. “But I heard some other stuff. Don’t really know the titles. But I know (Macklemore’s) white – from Google.”

West Virginia takes three-game losing streak to Kansas to face No. 6 Jayhawks By nick arthur

associate sports editor

Life’s not getting any easier for the West Virginia men’s basketball team. A tough, late-game loss to Baylor Wednesday night handed the Mountaineers their third-straight defeat – their second threegame losing streak of the season. Now, the struggling Mountaineers (13-15, 6-9) will travel to Allen Fieldhouse, one of the toughest places in the country to play, to earn a road victory in the country to face No. 6 Kansas (24-4, 12-3) Saturday afternoon in Lawrence, Kan. Allen Fieldhouse has nearly reached 200-consecutive sellouts, and head coach Bill Self has a home record of 159-8 as head

coach of the Jayhawks, giving Self as many home losses (8) as Big 12 Championships (8) in 10 seasons in Lawrence. West Virginia will look to build on some flashes of offensive success shown against the Bears Wednesday. “I thought the guys that we had on the floor really did execute. We just didn’t make the shots,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. It was the crucial moments down the stretch that ultimately doomed the Mountaineers. “It’s frustrating,” Huggins said. “We don’t get any stops when we need to get stops. We don’t make any shots when we need to make shots.” Freshman guard Eron Harris will enter the

Kansas game fresh off his most impressive game of the season. Harris scored a career-high 25 points on 7-of-14 shooting against Baylor. Harris, though, was 0-of-5 from the field and registered just two points in the first matchup between the Mountaineers and Jayhawks. But Harris’ role has changed since late January. “They didn’t guard him before. He was the guy they helped off of,” Huggins said. “Now that can’t help off him. He’s been a focal point of everyone’s game preparation for the last seven or eight games.” Kansas is led by two all-American candidates in freshman Ben McLemore and senior Jeff Withey. Seniors Travis Releford and Elijah Johnson both also are averaging dou-

ble-digits in scoring. The Mountaineers held McLemore to just 3-of-7 shooting in the first matchup between the two schools – a 61-56 win for then-No. 2 Kansas – due to foul trouble in the first half. West Virginia will need to keep McLemore in check again Saturday if it wants a chance at the upset. For the veteran Huggins, though, this has been a season to forget. He has tried multiple schemes and lineups, and is still unable to find positive results. “I’ve tried everything other than put a peach basket up,” Huggins said. Expect even more changes and new looks to be presented Saturday at 2 p.m. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

women’s basketball

Mountaineers welcome top-ranked Baylor by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia women’s basketball team will have its second opportunity to shock the nation on Saturday night when No. 1 Baylor comes to town for Senior Night. The Lady Bears, led by 6-foot-8 senior center Brittney Griner, have been on a tear since their twopoint loss to Stanford earlier this season. BU has not lost another game and has been the team to beat. Baylor has beaten No. 3 Connecticut on the road this season, and it hasn’t lost a conference game yet this year. Griner has been a big part of the Lady Bears’ success. In the first meeting between Baylor and West Virginia, the National Player of the Year nearly had a triple-double in blocks on top of her routine double-double. WVU (17-10, 9-7 Big 12) will attempt to end Baylor’s 25-game winning streak, including the perfect 16-0 conference mark. In the first meeting between the two schools this season, Baylor was able to earn an 18-point

victory thanks to Griner’s domination. “I thought we competed for the most part,” said head coach Mike Carey following the 76-58 loss. “We missed a lot of foul shots (12-of29). (Brittney) Griner is the best player in the country bar none. “She just opens up so many more people on the floor that you really wouldn’t have to help off of, but then they become effective and start getting hot.” The Lady Bears will be coming into the game with a 27-1 overall record. Against Oklahoma Monday night, Griner surpassed former Connecticut Huskie Maya Moore for fourth on the NCAA scoring list. Going into the game, the senior needed eight points, and she was able to go for 15 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks. “For me it’s exciting (to have her last home game against Brittney Griner),” said senior center Ayana Dunning. “We’re expecting a big crowd to come out and support us as we play the best team right now in

Home away from home Cody schuler managing editor

The West Virginia women’s basketball team has struggled at home this season. This is surprising considering how well West Virginia teams as a whole – especially those that play in the Coliseum – fare when suiting up in Morgantown. For that reason I expect West Virginia to fall short in its upset bid of topranked Baylor Saturday.

Ok, not really. They’re going to lose, because Baylor is a powerhouse that no team can derail, at least not until the Women’s Final Four in New Orleans. Even then I’d be surprised. But enough fawning over the Bears; we already know how good they are. In the last matchup, Baylor cruised to a comfortable 76-58 win, and senior center Brittany Griner was one block shy of a triple-double. Though West Virginia did miss nearly as many free-throws (17) as points it lost by (18) in the mid-

January matchup, I’d expect Baylor would have won by even more had it kept its starters in the entire game. So, we could see a better showing out of the Mountaineers, and putting up a nice fight against the nations’ No. 1 team could go a long way in boosting confidence as the calendar turns to March and postseason play gets under way. One positive aspect of playing in the postseason for West Virginia is playing away from home. Sounds strange, right?

For whatever reason the Mountaineers have come out flat in at least half of the games they’ve played at the Coliseum this season. The most recent example, Monday night against Kansas State, saw the Wildcats take an 8-point lead into the locker room and a single player already tallied 20 points. Bad news at the time, but ultimately Carey’s crew would pull it out and secure the win. If West Virginia starts the way it did against Kansas State, forget about seeing much of the country’s most

intriguing women’s basketball player. Miss Griner will be solidified firmly on the bench for potentially the entire second half depending on what brand of ball West Virginia decides to play with at the start of the game. On the road, though, the Mountaineers have exceeded expectations – Big 12 travel problems be darned. Road wins over ranked opponents are difficult to come by in any conference, but this holds even more true in the Big 12. West Virginia knocked off Okla-

homa State and Iowa State in hostile road environments and also picked up wins at Kansas, TCU and Kansas State. Those wins are indicative of how well West Virginia copes with stress on the road and rises to the challenge of the moment. The Mountaineers hope this same trend will continue during the final game of the regular season (at Texas March 5) and into the postseason, regardless of what happens Saturday against No. 1 Baylor. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

No. 16 WVU to host quad meet By Meghan Carr sports writer

The No. 16 West Virginia University gymnastics team will host No. 13 Denver, Temple and George Washington Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Coliseum for their second straight quad meet. The Mountaineers moved up nine spots after finishing second against No. 3 Michigan, scoring the tenth-best mark in program history. With Denver coming to Morgantown, this will be the eighth top-25 team the Mountaineers have faced this season. WVU previously competed against No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 3 Michigan. “The fans, judges and athletes need to know that we’re not shying away from competition. We want to go against the best teams. We want to bring in the best teams,” said WVU head coach Jason Butts. The Denver Pioneers are averaging 195.797, a slight advantage against the Mountaineers, who average 195.211. George Washington scored a season-high 194.825 last weekend at Maryland, and Temple reached 190.675 against Ursinus two weekends ago. The Mountaineers only have four more regular season meets before NCAA Regional’s comes to Morgantown, and this team knows each score matters, espe-

cially road scores. “In my memory, we have never been in the top-18 going into Regionals,” Butts said. “I love that we are No. 16, but I would like to move up to the No. 12 or 13 spot just to solidify that ranking.” The Mountaineers won the EAGL Conference Championship last season and set big goals for themselves coming into the 2013 season. Sophomore Lia Salzano said there is a big difference in this team from past years due to experience. “We had seven incoming freshmen last season. So we are a year older and a lot more confident this year. “The came in with a swagger, and I have to give a lot of credit to Chelsea Goldschrafe. She was the one last year who said ‘I don’t want to talk about going to the National Championships, I want to go to the National Championships’,” Butts said. The Mountaineers will host the NCAA Regionals this year, and senior Chelsea Goldschrafe said she feels comfortable with how her team is performing with the post-season fast approaching. “We are hitting our stride and girls are definitely feeling more confident, which is showing in our meets,” Goldschrafe said. WVU is ranked nationally in three events this week. The

They moved up to No. 16 on vault and floor. Four Mountaineers are nationally ranked. Freshman Jaida Lawrence is the top ranked gymnast at No. 14 averaging 9.88 on vault and is tied for the No. 1 spot for vault in the Big 12. “I feel honored, and it shows that I’ve worked hard. It’s a big deal to contribute to a team as a freshman,” Lawrence said. Seniors Alaska Richardson ranks 34 with an average of 9.855, and Kaylyn Millick ranks 48 (9.84) on floor.

Junior Hope Sloanhoffer is ranked No. 31 (38.97) in the all-around, with Millick placing No. 33 (38.96). The Big 12 took over the No. 1 spot in the nation, when Oklahoma scored the best mark in program history, pushing them ahead of Florida, who moved back to No. 2. “I’m proud to be in a conference that holds the No. 1 ranking. I think that raises the prestige of West Virginia gymnastics,” Butts said. Michigan and Alabama remain in the No. 3 and No. 4 spot. LSU moved up one spot to No. 5. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia women’s tennis team will face another tall task this weekend when it travels to Charleston, W.Va., Saturday to take on Virginia Tech, only to return to Morgantown on Sunday to face Marquette. “Every weekend is going to be tough. Every match we have is going to be tough,” said WVU head coach Tina Samara. “If we continue to go on the path that we’ve been on the last few matches, I think we have an excellent shot to win.” The Virginia Tech match will be a bit of a reunion for Samara. Samara has known Hokie head coach Terry Ann Zawacki-Woods since childhood, when they met each other on the court. “Their head coach and I – we’ve known each other since we were 12. We grew up playing each other (in tennis) a million times,” Samara said. “It’s always extra fun when you’re playing someone like that. “Just healthy competition as coaches, and I’m looking forward to it.” Samara may enjoy the competition against Zawacki-Woods, but it certainly does not diminish her will to win. “There’s really not a time I don’t want to win,” Samara said. “I miss the competing as players, so its kind of fun to make it like that as a coach, when you play your friends. “I know it’s going to be a good match. I know it’s going to be a fair match.” Samara’s reunion is not the only thing exciting the coach about the Virginia Tech match. Word is there should be an excel-

lent Mountaineer crowd in Charleston. “I think we’ll have a really good turnout because Charleston’s tennis club has really promoted it,” Samara said. “We’ll have a lot of local support. There is a pretty big tennis community down there in Charleston.” After the Virginia Tech match, Samara and the Mountaineers will head back up I-79 to Morgantown where they will face Marquette. Samara has some familiarity with the program from back in the Big East days. “Marquette... we played them obviously in the Big East, and they’re always a strong program,” Samara said. “Same sort of thing – I feel like we still have a legit shot to win these matches, but there’s no way we will unless we go out and compete on every court like we have been recently. “We’ve had a good week of practice, and I think the team’s in a good place.” The Mountaineers have been in “a good place” since their VCU match, despite losing to Penn State the following week. Samara has upped the team’s strength and conditioning program, and the player’s claim it’s had a positive effect on their game. “As much as they’ve cringed while saying it, I’ve had feedback from pretty much everybody on the team that, as much as these workouts suck, they are absolutely seeing the benefits from it,” Samara said. “What they’re understanding is even though the lifting and conditioning we’re doing isn’t fun, it’s fun to be able to compete, and it’s worth the reward.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 9 the country and one of the best players to play women’s basketball, so I’m excited about it.” In the first meeting, Dunning was held scoreless mainly due to Griner’s defensive prowess and height advantage. “They’re a great team. They’re No. 1 for a reason,” Carey said after WVU’s win over Kansas State Tuesday night. “I thought our girls at their place played extremely hard. We lost by 18, but missed 17 foul shots. Griner had a great game, but we’re not going to back down from Griner. “She may set a NCAA record for most blocks in a game. I don’t care; we’re taking it to her. So, we’re not going to back down. We’re going to attack. Our girls will come out and play hard.” WVU will be going into the game after its 66-57 vic-

Following a four-game road trip in which the Mountaineers split a pair of two-game sets with Youngstown State and Wake Forest, the team will head down to Myrtle Beach, S.C., this weekend for a three-game set with Indiana, UMBC and Florida Atlantic. The three-game series will be the last of a tengame road stretch before the Mountaineers play their first game at Hawley Field Mar. 5 against Eastern Kentucky. Dubbed the Caravelle Resort “Baseball at the Beach” Tournament, the teams will play at Ticketreturn.com Field, home of the Carolina League’s Myrtle Beach Pelicans. In their first action of the tournament, the Mountaineers will take on the Indiana Hoosiers Friday at 10 a.m. The Hoosiers come into the weekend with a 3-2 record, sporting wins against Louisville, USF and Georgia Southern. Sophomore infielder Sam Travis has made an impact in his second season for the Hoosiers. Last year’s Big 10 Freshman of the Year comes into the weekend with a .429 average and five RBI. Saturday will be another morning start for the Mountaineers as they will face off against the UMBC Retrievers. The tournament will serve as opening weekend for head coach Bob Mumma and the Retrievers as they look to improve on a 10-42 record and last place finish in the America East Conference last season. Looking to build on a freshman season in which he was voted to the America East All-Rookie Team, sophomore Anthony Gatto provides versatility on defense and production on offense for the Retrievers.

The third baseman/outfielder hit .303 for UMBC last season. Sunday will provide a tough test for the Mountaineers, as they look to end the weekend with a win over the FAU Owls. First pitch is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Following a season opening three-game sweep of Cincinnati, the Owls proceeded to drop three straight games, one in extra innings to the Miami Hurricanes and two to the Alabama Crimson Tide. What has been a season of streaks for the Owls continued as they turned their three-game slide into a twogame winning streak with a 3-0 win in the last game of the Alabama series and a 9-8 victory over Florida Gulf Coast. Picked to win the Sun Belt Conference in the preseason, the Owls have received a boost from junior pitcher Jeremy Strawn. Strawn struck out six batters and allowed only four hits in eight innings of shutout work in FAU’s 3-0 victory. His performance was good enough to earn him the Sun Belt Conference’s Pitcher of the Week Award. While the Mountaineers are facing some tough competition this weekend, they should be able to draw some confidence from their performance last weekend. The offense seemed to come together as the team scored twenty-six runs over the four games in WinstonSalem, N.C. Junior outfielder Jacob Rice provided an offensive spark for the Mountaineers as he collected nine hits and drove in three runs over the weekend. His offensive output was good enough to earn him the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week award. Coach Mazey and the Mountaineers will look to get over .500 for the first time this weekend, as they come in with a record of 3-4. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

tory over Kansas State three days ago. In the very important win, Dunning and junior guard Christal Caldwell both pitched in 15 points. The Mountaineers shot 42.6 percent from the field on the night, but the first half performance wasn’t always pretty. “I told them we were going to come out flat, and we did,” he said. “You do what you do in practice. The last two days in practice we didn’t play hard, (and) we didn’t take it serious. Second half I thought we played harder and a lot better than the first half. “(I) give them (Kansas State) a lot of credit. I thought our girls got refocused in the second half. Now is the time we have to stay focused. That’s my job to get them focused.” WVU will test its new focus against the best of women’s collegiate basketball Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
