AT&T launches 4G LTE in region

BY Jacob Bojesson Staff writer

AT&T customers in Morgantown can now enjoy faster mobile internet speed after the company launched its 4G LTE network in the area last week.

LTE is the latest generation of wireless network technology with which AT&T is hoping to provide its customers with up to 10 times faster

wireless speed compared to the previous 3G speeds.

Larry Evans, vice president and general manager for the AT&T tri-state market, said customers should see a significant increase in data speeds.

“It’s all about speed; LTE is the next jump up from 4G,” Evans said. “You’ll see very, very fast speeds – faster than your Wi-Fi at home.”

AT&T turned on the net-

work Wednesday as part of a $150 million investment in the West Virginia market made by the company between 2010 and 2012.

According to Andy Feeney, AT&T regional vice president, the company is planning to bring the network to more areas across the state, with Huntington being the next in line.

Other future projects in the Morgantown area include

setting up Distributed Antenna Systems in venues such as Milan Puskar Stadium to enable large amounts of people to share the same network without compromising speed.

“The reason we’re doing this investment is simple; it’s for our consumers and businesses that are relying more and more on wireless broadband services,” Feeney said.

Delegates member Amanda Pasdon said she thinks the new network will have a large impact on local businesses as well as the University.

Passion drives WVU alum to start business, enter brewing industry by cody schuler staff writer

There are many words to describe the driving force behind Bill Rittenour’s work as owner and head brewer of Chestnut Brew Works, but one word works best: passion.

The West Virginia University alumnus has taken his home brewing hobby to the professional stage and has started to make his passion other people’s pleasure.

Chestnut Brew Works, which had its West Virginia state brewers license approved last month, is

tucked away in the West Virginia wilderness 10 minutes outside Morgantown on Halleck Road. It is there, in a building in his backyard, Rittenour has begun brewing craft beers that are quickly grabbing the attention of customers and brewers alike for their impeccable taste and exceptional character.

Being a brewer wasn’t Rittenour’s projected career path when he graduated from West Virginia University with a master’s degree from the Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and

West Virginia University College of Law students have voiced their opinions and complaints about their school via parody video on YouTube.

This video – which parodies “Payphone” by Maroon 5 as the parody – is currently competing with schools such as Columbia Law School, New York University Law School and University of Virginia School of Law, as well as with other highly selective universities.

The contest is held annually by Above the Law, a legal website that gives information about large commercial law firms.

The video has acquired more than 200,000 views on YouTube and is currently in third place with 21 percent of the votes. The parody is closely ranked behind NYU, which has the lead, and UVA, which is a close second.

“If we got help from the student body, we could crush these guys,” said Andy Loud, a second year law student at WVU. “The only

other WVU things that have this many hits on YouTube are either Tavon Austin highlights or the ‘I’m Shmacked videos’.”

Loud wrote the lyrics to the parody and makes his debut as the rapper in the video. He said the other parodies lack originality, good singing and entertainment value.

“I think our lyrics are more ‘on,’ and they’re more accessible to different groups of people,” he said.

Recognition is the only award for winning the contest, but beating Ivy League schools is reward enough for Loud. He also said people seem to truly enjoy the video.

“I like the fact that we made something that sounds good and that people want to hear,” Loud said.

Tyler Murray, alumnus of WVU, executes the lead vocals in the video. Murray and Loud are close friends and have worked on other music projects together. Their music production company, Chocolate Ghost House, is named after a level in the Nintendo

“We planned our organization’s move on Day of Caring specifically so that we would have plenty of people to help us move,” said Denny Poluga, executive director of MBGC. “It will be a lot easier having 25 or so people helping when we move our sofas and TVs and such.”

West Virginia University alumnus Daniel Moyers will make his TV debut on the Discovery Channel’s new series “The Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius.”

The show is a search for the nation’s next top innovator. The series will present its contestants with an engineering challenge to complete in 30 minutes. The winner of the competition is awarded $50,000 and a one-year contract with Water & Environmental Technologies, an environmetnal engineering firm.

“This show is a groundbreaking experiment combining competition and science in a way that has never been done before,” Moyers said.

According to Moyers, the show itself a type of experiment.

“It throws a group of in-

telligent leaders with completely different personalities into a room and pushes their minds to the very limit,” he said. “Things will go right, things will go wrong, and there will be drama, but it will always be exciting to watch.”

Moyers – a Bruceton Mills, W.Va., native – graduated from WVU in 2002 with a degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering. He is now employed as a Spacecraft Systems Engineer with NASA’S Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

Although he has been involved with several prestigious projects, such as the Curiosity Rover (a robot on mars), Moyers jumped on the opportunity to showcase his innovative abilities after a friend in the casting industry suggested he audition for the show.

Continued from page 1 Design. His undergraduate studies at Pennsylvania State University were in forestry, and it was there Rittenour wanted to start a career.

“After my master’s, I was done with school, and so I wanted to get a forestry job and work outside in the woods. But my wife got a really great doctoral offer from the University of Nebraska, so I moved out to Nebraska, and there are no trees in Nebraska,” he said.

“The deal they offered her was just too sweet to pass up, and I found a department, and they offered me money to get my doctoral degree, so I got my doctorate out there studying a wheat pathogen.”

Rittenour said his doctoral degree in fungal biology was a serendipitous experience and has been useful in his brewing pursuits.

“Yeast is a fungus, and I took a fungal genetic class at the Ph.D. level. Out of all the fungi, there’s most known about yeast,” he said. “I learned all about its fermentation and its physiology; that definitely applies to brewing as far as how they take in sugars and how temperature affects their metabolism.”

Rittenour and his wife Christine both completed their doctoral studies and returned to Morgantown.

Christine began working in the University’s Department of Communication Studies, where she currently serves as an assistant professor.

Rittenour took a job in a lab at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). But Rittenour said the job wasn’t fulfilling.

“I enjoyed working there, as far as the people went, but when I decided to go into forestry. I did that, because I wanted to

enjoy what I do,” he said.

“There were a lot of great people, but I just was not passionate about my job there.”

After mulling over several options, Rittenour elected to open the brewery, which he named after his studies at WVU on the American chestnut tree.

“I was kicking around names when I was coming up with the business, and as soon as I said ‘Chestnut Brew Works.’ It just rang out,” he said.

The American chestnut was ravaged by a fungal disease at the turn of the 20th century, wiping out most of the population.

Small, locally owned breweries faced the same fate during the prohibition era.

“Every town used to have mom and pop breweries, and prohibition came, and the only people that could survive prohibition were Anheuser Busch (and other major breweries). So they survived, and after prohibition they were all that was left, and they kind of dominated the market and told people what to drink and what to like based on what they made,” Rittenour said.

“The chestnut now is making a comeback, because, just like craft beer, scientists and enthusiasts have really pushed for it.”

Rittenour, who started home brewing in 2005 at the urging of a friend, utilizes a one-barrel brew system, which equates to 31 gallons of beer per brewed batch.

With the smaller brewing system and high demand for Chestnut Brew Works’ beer, Rittenour literally can’t keep up with demand – something he said isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

“I talked to a lot of other small-scale brewers, and all of them – every single one of them – told me the No. 1 problem is going to be keeping up with demand, and I thought ‘If

that’s my No. 1 problem, then this is a good business to get into.’”

Currently, Chestnut Brew Works has two beers on the market: the Halleck Pale Ale, the brewery’s signature beer, and Your Best Hoption, an Imperial India Pale Ale. Both beers are on tap at Black Bear’s Evansdale location, and the downtown location carries the Halleck Pale Ale. The Apothecary Ale House & Cafe currently has Your Best Hoption on tap, and it has been met with great demand, selling out one of its kegs the first night it was offered.

Chestnut Brew Works is also waiting on Class II Wheatwater, a wheat beer Rittenour said everyone, including those new to craft beer, can enjoy, and Nate’s Nut Brown Ale to pass state inspection, but both should be available in the coming weeks.

Rittenour also said he has obtained his state bottling license and hopes to offer his brews for sale in 22-ounce bottles as early as this summer. He hopes his beer will be able to inspire a deeper appreciation and more responsible consumption of beer.

“One thing I really hope happens is craft beer appreciation really increases.

I think, especially due to some of the antics of some of a lot of the college students in Morgantown, a lot of people think beer is just this vehicle for getting drunk – and I want to see it more like wine,” he said.

“There’s so much, if not more, cultural and history behind beer than there is wine.”

With tremendous support from his friends and family, Rittenour has been able to power through the more difficult times he encountered during the brewery’s early days.

“I’m incredibly lucky in the support system I have in my family. Not many

people would have parents who would be happy their son was leaving a great job to start a brewery, but my parents knew it was my passion. They’ve been incredibly supportive; my wife’s parents and my wife have been incredibly supportive, so that definitely helps,” he said.

“There was basically a time, waiting for my state approval, where there was just so much fear and selfdoubt, but it’s been great since then.”

Though many have told Rittenour he has a “dream job,” he said there are still tough days.

But when he sees people enjoying his beer, he said it makes it all worth it.

“I did a tasting at Black Bear, and the guys that own Black Bear, they tell me some of the things that customers are saying about it, and I’m pinching myself. It’s like ‘Really? No way.’ Part of me, I just want to cry, how it’s playing out like that,” he said.

“So, it is very surreal and dreamlike at those points, but brew day, when its 95 degrees in (the brewery), and I’m lifting up heavy bags and stuff – even then, the passion, it just drives me.

Despite all of the risks and challenges entrepreneurs face, Rittenour said all the decisions he made leading up to the founding of the brewery were based on following his passion – and it has paid off.

“They say if you enjoy what you do, you never work a day in your life.

And it’s like I go back inside, and I just take a shower, and I feel so great after a long workday because the passion that just drives me to do it.”

NEW YORK (AP) — You can recycle your waste, grow your own food and drive a fuel-efficient car. But being socially responsible isn’t so easy when it comes to the clothes on your back.

Take Jason and Alexandra Lawrence of Lyons, Colo. The couple eat locally grown food that doesn’t have to be transported from far-flung states. They fill up their diesel-powered Volkswagen and Dodge pickup with vegetable-based oil.

They even bring silverware to a nearby coffeehouse to avoid using the shop’s plastic utensils.

But when it comes to making sure that their clothes are made in factories that are safe for workers, the couple fall short.

“Clothing is one of our more challenging practices,” says Jason Lawrence, 35, who mostly buys secondhand. “I don’t want to travel around the world to see where my pants come from.”

Last week’s building collapse in Bangladesh that killed hundreds of clothing factory workers put a spotlight on the sobering fact that people in poor countries often risk their lives working in unsafe factories to make the cheap T-shirts and underwear that Westerners covet.

The disaster, which comes after a fire in another Bangladesh factory killed 112 people last November, also highlights something just as troubling for socially conscious shoppers: It’s nearly impossible to make sure the clothes you buy come from factories with safe working conditions.

Very few companies sell

clothing that’s so-called “ethically made,” or marketed as being made in factories that maintain safe working conditions. In fact, ethically made clothes make up a tiny fraction of 1 percent of the overall $1 trillion global fashion industry.

And with a few exceptions, such as the 250-store clothing chain American Apparel Inc., most aren’t national brands.

It’s even more difficult to figure out if your clothes are made in safe factories if you’re buying from retailers that don’t specifically market their clothes as ethically made. That’s because major chains typically use a complex web of suppliers in countries such as Bangladesh, which often contract business to other factories. That means the retailers themselves don’t always know the origin of clothes when they’re made overseas.

And even a “Made in USA” label only provides a small amount of assurance for a socially conscious shopper. For instance, maybe the tailors who assembled the skirt may have had good working conditions. But the fabric might have been woven overseas by people who do not work in a safe environment.

“For the consumer, it’s virtually impossible to know whether the product was manufactured in safe conditions,” says Craig Johnson, president of Customer Growth Partners, a retail consultancy. “For U.S.-made labels, you have good assurance, but the farther you get away from the U.S., the less confidence you have.”

First-ever News Trivia Bowl set for tonight The West Virginia University Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism’s chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists will hold its first annual News Trivia Bowl tonight at 7 p.m. in the Gluck Theater of the Mountainlair.

“This show was a chance for me to let loose and have fun.”

Moyers said she believes he was accepted to the show because of the skills he gained at WVU. “The audition process was intense,” he said. “The key, though, was in finding people that could apply their intelligence and actually build stuff to solve realworld problems. And I think they chose me because I had a lot of hands-on experience with student design projects at WVU.” Participants of “The Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius” will have to compete against each other while living under the same roof on a daily basis. This introduces a unique concept that combines elements of reality TV with scientific competition.

“I have been seeing commercials for it the past few weeks and can’t wait for it to come out,” said Ryan Purdue, a junior mining engineering student. “West Virginia has taken first place in many different engineering challenges and competitions, and this could be another one we could put on our board.”

The two full-time judges of the competition are Mark Fuller, CEO of Water Entertainment Technology, and Christine Gulbranson, a nanotechnologist and renewable energy innovator. Each week, a new guest judge will be introduced.

“I’m hoping to show that WVU graduates can compete at the highest level with anyone else out there,” Moyers said. “I really take pride in my ‘Mountaineer Spirit,’ and this passion will be key in pushing me along the way.”

The show will air tonight at 10 p.m. on the Discovery Channel.

Underground Sound: The newest releases in underground music

‘Rat Farm’ Meat Puppets

‘Undertow’ Ten Foot Polecats

‘Mosquito’ Yeah Yeah Yeahs

«««««

«««««

««««« «

A sad fact of life is that people age; even sadder is that bands age, as well. Yet after 30-plus years of creating and performing, Meat Puppets have definitely aged with grace and poise. Brothers Chris and Kurt Kirkwood demonstrate this with “Rat Farm,” the band’s 14th studio album.

Long gone are the frantic, jittery guitar passages and fastpaced lyrics of classic albums such as “II” and “Forbidden Places.” The manic Meat Puppets of yore have been replaced with a more mellow, relaxed style, reflective of the brothers’ age. However, don’t be put off by this; the end product is a beautiful, thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The album’s title track sets the stage for the listener and holds on to the bare essence of Meat Puppets. On the surface is a peppy, tropical paradise-meets 90s alternative rock, feelgood song the whole family can enjoy.

Underneath that gilded surface lies the story of a “rotten-tothe-core” anti-Pied Piper who doesn’t think twice about unleashing vermin and depravity upon town after town. As the narrator sings about leading children “with the candy that they crave” and slapping you and telling you you’re stoned, you realize that you’re back in strange, familiar territory for the brothers Kirkwood.

“One More Drop” flirts with the classic Meat Puppets sound but holds its ground close to the album’s overall theme of simplicity and accessibility. Blending trademark psychedelia with lyrics like “One more drop/then I’m gonna stop it,” it’s a contender for the addiction-based song of the summer.

“Rat Farm” is definitely a departure from their earlier works, but it shows a different side of the band. Those still yearning for the band’s older sound can find solace in tracks like “Sweet” and “Original One.” That said, there is certainly something for everyone to be found in this latest release.

—dag

Riffy, base-driven and layered with vocals that can go from dreamy to screeching in seconds, “Sacrilege”, the opening track of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ fourth fulllength album, “Mosquito,” is what any fan of the New York-based three-piece band would expect.

The first half of the track is almost reminiscent of the 2003 album “Fever to Tell,” while a new soulful element comes into play in the next half. A little more than halfway through the song, Karen O croons “And I plead/ and I pray” while a full 20-piece gospel choir sings in the background, eventually ending out the track on their own. The tension that builds with “Sacrilege” follows you throughout the album, building and lessening when you least expect it.

Following “Subway,” a hazy song begging with the sound of train tracks in the distance, is the title track “Mosquito.” Here we begin with Karen O softly chanting the word “mosquito,” leading to the shrieking chorus of “I’ll suck your blood/I’ll suck your blood.”

The final track on the album, “Wedding Song,” seems to seal the deal and leave the listener with some closure. The first 45 seconds of bird noises and bass line build anticipation until Karen’s voice slowly and sweetly flows in.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have taken some interesting leaps of faith atypical of their previous work, but it all seems to be working in their favor. While introducing new and unique elements, they have managed to stay true to their sound, creating the final product that is “Mosquito;” a slightly less abrasive, but no less mind-boggling record.

—ess

Boston blues trio Ten Foot Polecats have released their second full-length album, “Undertow.” Their first release to contain all original material, this 11-song album showcases the band’s intense and straightforward approach to the blues. The album features very minimal production allowing the band’s songs to speak for themselves.

“Undertow’s” sound is an amalgamation of the North Mississippi Hill country blues style with its rollicking, trance-like guitar rhythms and a breakneck, gutbucket style of rock ‘n’ roll drumming.

The songs on “Undertow” contain the classic blues themes of women, heartbreak and drinking. Though the album at times covers dark, heavy subject matter, Ten Foot Polecats are not without a sense of humor.

On “Leave Well Enough Alone,” lead singer Jay Scheffler wryly states, “My credit won’t ever be the same and neither will my heart.” The title track of the album is an eight-minute instrumental in which the band really shows off its dynamism, rolling through spooky minor key passages and exotic Middle Eastern-influenced blues riffs.

The songs on “Undertow” obviously pay homage to classic blues artists such as Howlin’ Wolf, R.L. Burnside and John Lee Hooker, but they still manage to keep from sounding like a stale regurgitation, like so many modern blues recordings. This is thanks in large part to the vibe that Ten Foot Polecats put forth on this record.

You really get the sense these guys really believe in what they are singing and that they are no stranger to a raucous good time.

Tony Awards committee releases nominations, favors veterans NEW YORK (AP) – The Tony Awards committee largely favored tried-and-true stage veterans over flashy visitors Tuesday when announcing this year’s Tony nominations, with Hollywood stars such as Bette Midler, Jessica Chastain, Al Pacino, Katie Holmes and Scarlett Johansson never hearing their names called.

With the exception of Broadway debutant Tom Hanks, the acting categories were mostly filled by established theater creatures such as Laurie Metcalf, Amy Morton, Laura Osnes, Nathan Lane, Tracy Letts, David Hyde Pierce and Kristine Nielsen.

Hanks, who earned a best actor nod playing gutsy New York City newspaper columnist Mike McAlary in the late Nora Ephron’s “Lucky Guy,” joked that he was out of his league and that to win he’d have to beat Lane and Pierce.

“Olivier and Gielgud!”

Hanks exclaimed. “It’s such a thrill and a delight to be included with these guys.”

He added: “This makes me both giddy and nervous, and it could not be more special.”

The awards will be broadcast on CBS from Radio City Music Hall on June 9.

The snubs of big-name actors may mean a less starry telecast.

Stage veterans littered the play and musical categories, including the tight race to be crowned best musical. The leading contenders – “Kinky Boots” and “Matilda: The Musical”– are both stories that celebrate the little guy.

“Kinky Boots” is based on the 2005 British movie about a real-life shoe factory that struggles until it finds new life making fetish footwear.

Cyndi Lauper’s songs and a story by Harvey Fierstein– both nominated – have made it a crowd-pleaser.

“When we were writing this, I kept thinking `I don’t know if this show is going to be any good, but at the very least I think I’ve discovered a new Broadway composer,’” Fierstein said of Lauper, who was writing songs for the stage for the first time.

“I could hear it. My feeling is Cyndi’s going to be around for a while.”

The show earned a leading 13 nominations, including sets by David Rockwell, directing and choreography

by Jerry Mitchell, and nominations for its two leading men, Billy Porter and Stark Sands. Annaleigh Ashford earned a featured role nomination.

Close behind with 12 nominations is “Matilda: The Musical,” the witty, dark musical adaptation of the novel by Roald Dahl that is still running in London.

“Matilda” earned nominations for Peter Darling’s choreography, Matthew Warchus’ directing, Chris Nightingale’s orchestrations, Dennis Kelly’s book, Tim Minchin’s lyrics and songs, and Bertie Carvel for best leading role in a musical.

Carvel, who also played the evil headmistress Miss Trunchbull in London, said he is enjoying his time in New York, although he did admit to being nervous about how Americans would react. “I feel like I’ve landed on happy shores,” he said.

“The show is in great shape.

People are loving it.”

“Matilda” was one nomination shy of “Kinky Boots” and could have caught up if the four girls who rotate as the lead – Sophia Gennusa, Oona Laurence, Bailey Ryon and Milly Shapiro – landed a best actress nod. But they were deemed ineligible.

Both “Kinky Boots” and “Matilda” will duke it out for the best musical prize with

the acrobatic “Bring It On: The Musical” and “A Christmas Story, The Musical,” adapted from the beloved holiday movie.

The nominations Tuesday proved that recognition for theater work is not easy for stars. Midler, appearing on Broadway for the first time in 30 years, got nothing despite being in a one-woman show. And Johansson and Chastain, Hollywood princesses, were greeted with a Broadway shrug.

The best play nominees are Richard Greenberg’s “The Assembled Parties,” Ephron’s “Lucky Guy,” Colm Toibin’s “The Testament of Mary” and Christopher Durang’s “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.”

In addition to Hanks, nominees for leading actor in a play are Lane for “The Nance,” Pierce from “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” Tom Sturridge from “Orphans,” and Letts from “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”

“Lucky Guy” got six nominations, including a best featured actor nod for Courtney B. Vance. He and Hanks were among the few actors in the production to work with Ephron before her death last year. “She’d be ecstatic. She’d be grinning ear to ear,” Vance said. “And she is, right now.”

The best musical revival candidates are “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” “Annie,” “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” and “Pippin,” which nabbed 10 nominations.

Patina Miller, last on Broadway as the heroine of “Sister Act,” stepped into the Ben Vereen role of Leading Player in “Pippin” and earned her second straight nomination.

The first time, she said, “I was so nervous about saying

and doing the right things.

This time, I’ve enjoyed it, I’ve been given a great opportunity and I want to keep enjoying it. Not a lot of people get to experience something like this.”

The producers of “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella” saw both their Cinderella – Laura Osnes – and her prince– Santino Fontana nominated for leading roles in a musical.

“I’m floating on air! I think I am over the tears now,” said Osnes. “I started crying when Santino’s name was called. So I was already crying when they called mine. I am just so thrilled, so excited.”

Candidates for best leading actress in a play include Metcalf of “The Other Place,” Morton in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” Nielsen of “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” Holland Taylor in her one-woman show, “Ann,” and Cicely Tyson in “The Trip to Bountiful.” With such talent on show, notably squeezed out were Fiona Shaw of “The Testament of Mary” and Jessica Hecht in “The Assembled Parties.”

Durang, the playwright of “Vanya and Sonia,” wrote parts in it for both Nielsen and Weaver.

“We’re both really lucky to have someone of his caliber that would even think of putting words in our mouth,” Nielsen said. “I wish he were here to put words in my mouth today!”

The revival of Clifford Odets’ “Golden Boy,” a play about a young man torn between his natural talent as a violinist and the fast money and fame of being a boxer, earned eight nominations, the most for any play.

Richard Greenberg’s “The Assembled Parties,” a New York City drama concerning the power of familial

bonds, earned three nominations, including ones for Judith Light, scenic design and best play.

“It’s been so luxuriously treated by this production,” the playwright said. “It was given such care and attention. I think you only get something that unblemished once. And so I’m relishing it.”

Kenneth Posner had a great morning. The lighting designer got three of four slots – for “Kinky Boots,” “Pippin” and “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella.” He will face off against Hugh Vanstone, the lighting designer for “Matilda: The Musical.”

Playwright Douglas Carter Beane earned a best

book nomination for the lush, big musical “Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella,” but not for his more intimate play “The Nance,” although it earned five nods.

A veteran, he rolled with it Tuesday morning.

“You just have to really enjoy it when you get nominated and you have to just not care when you’re not,” he said. “It’s one of those little rules you learn. Like, only read the reviews that they put outside the theater.”

The hit-stuffed “Motown: The Musical,” about Motown Records under founder Berry Gordy, earned four nominations, including Valisia LeKae as Diana Ross and Charl Brown as Smokey Robinson.

Designer drugs need better regulation

wdtv.com

John Skruck was arrested in May of 2012 for suspected possession and distribution of bath salts and synthetic marijuana at his store “Hot Stuff & Cool Things.”

In a recent ruling, United States District Court Judge Irene Keeley rejected suspected bath salt distributor John Skruck’s motion to postpone trial. As it stands, Skruck will be appearing in court May 14 for selling synthetic marijuana and bath salts in the Clarksburg, W.Va., area.

Bath salts have recently hit the news again with the exposure of Skruck’s distribution ring, as well as the unforgettable case of

the man in Miami last year who was found attempting to eat another man’s face while apparently high on bath salts.

These bath salts, which were so named in order to avoid legal issues rather than for their bathing utility, are very similar to amphetamines and produce symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, chest pain, high blood pressure and heart rate and thoughts of suicide.

As of July 2012, the U.S.

Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act declared it illegal to distribute, posses, or use bath salts, presumably after these two cases made national headlines.

Although the drug’s popularity may not have been as evident before these cases, the fact remains that bath salts were an issue for years before anyone decided to do anything about it.

So-called “designer drugs,” which are essentially derivatives of hard

substances typically found in drug circuits, have been around since about 1925, when morphine was originally banned in the U.S. Since then, the black and gray markets have exploded with new drugs that have virtually the same effects as the original banned ones but with different chemical structures to fly under the radar of the law.

That said, the Synthetic Drug Abuse Prevention Act appears to be making an ef-

fort to eradicate these substances when they become big enough to gain publicity, when in reality, numerous underground designer drugs are just as harmful and are not regulated whatsoever.

It’s understandably difficult to keep track of the new drugs as they hit the scene, but it should not take a breaking news story to get the job done.

Making good use of finals week stress MOLLY ROBINSON columnist

I once had a dream that I was chosen to fight to the death in the Hunger Games.

Just before I woke up, however, my last thought was, “At least I’m not as stressed out for the Games as I was for finals last semester ...”

As silly as the idea sounds in the daylight hours, in reality, my nightmare ended up opening my eyes to the massive amounts of stress myself and others face around this time of the year.

In a typical undergrad, we will experience a grand total of eight finals weeks; that’s about two months of our lives spent cramming, stressing and binge-drinking coffee to achieve whatever test score we need to get that specific grade to look good on your academic transcript down the road.

There is also a certain resentment permeating friend circles around campus. The main topic of conversation has turned into “How many finals do you have?” followed by “How many are cumulative?” It’s a destructive and negative conversation, and, unlike the Hunger Games, there is no final victor.

I don’t really have any valuable tips and tricks to share; besides, we all know the spiel our parents and professors laid on us about eating, drinking and sleeping in healthy amounts and timespans and the dreaded “Don’t stress out!” advice – which, of course, is nearly impossible with three cumulative finals and a portfolio of one semester’s work of papers, all due

DA

ecampusblog.com

Science suggests that cramming the night before an exam actually lowers test performances. within a 96-hour time period.

And this all occurs at that critical point in the semester when our brains are triggered to power down, soak up the 75-degree weather and dream of summer.

But beyond the studying and late-night paperwriting, there’s the exams themselves; that feeling you get just as you enter the exam room or right when you glance at the first difficult question is one that we will still have nightmares about well after our mid-life crises.

And it’s that feeling – the

one when you think there’s a good chance you’re doomed – that I strive to capitalize on during each and every final I take.

It brings me back to my soccer days when long games against opponents obviously better than us plagued my Sundays.

During one of these games, after an hour or so of fruitlessly running around the field with a total of zero goals on my team’s part, something happened.

Somehow, with my five feet and 90 pounds of girth, the girl I had been tirelessly dogging through-

out the game was on the ground – and I had put her there.

We weren’t going to win the game. Hell, we weren’t even going to make any goals. There was no legitimate reason for me to even try at all at that point, because – just like with those tough finals – doom was inevitable.

There is a sense of hopelessness that saturates the libraries at this time, and it’s not unlike the feeling my poor soccer team experienced.

But when I hit that wall – the one that has a glaring red sign that tells me

I should just give up and there’s no way out of the mess I’ve gotten myself into by not studying enough or studying the wrong thing or whatever I did that led to me not knowing the answer – I experience a flashback to the soccer field, and I just push through. Because if I’m going to nosedive in a spiral of freak-outs and bad grades, then I might as well go down swinging.

I offer this advice, because, despite the “you’llbe-fine” and “everythingwill-be-all-right,” I can assure you that there will be a time in your college

careers, whether it be during finals week or just a regular school week, when it won’t be all right, and you won’t feel fine. You’re going to feel like giving up, crying and drowning in alcohol or chocolate (or both).

We’ve all been there, and we’ll all be there again. What matters isn’t the grade on the assignment or the final or even the class as a whole. What matters is that we try, even in our darkest moments, to see the light.

And, if all else fails, at least you’re not going to the Hunger Games.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year your birthday gives you unusual power and strength. Should you decide to accomplish something, it is as good as done. You demonstrate your innate leadership characteristics. You also attract many admirers. If you are single, one of these people easily could become more than just a casual acquaintance. If you are attached, do not forget the importance of your significant other; otherwise, he or she could feel left out. AQUARIUS throws you into the limelight.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Focus your energy less on taking the lead and more on gaining a consensus regarding a key matter.

You could see a situation far differently after having talked to various people. What you thought you were sure of might no longer be the case.

Tonight: Take a midweek break.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Tension could escalate if you continue on a non-negotiable path. Toss stubbornness to the wind, and you’ll find that your stress level will drop almost immediately. You might want to justify your stance on an issue, but is it really worth it? Tonight: Do your own thing.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You might want to take some time away from an issue and look at it later.

Try to detach. Plan a mini-vacation if possible. You will come back revitalized and ready to handle nearly anything. You do have a lot on your plate.

Tonight: Schedule some downtime with a friend.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Your playfulness emerges. A loved one who has been uptight as of late might adopt a new, more upbeat attitude as a result of your lightness. Recognize that this attitude probably is only a temporary change. Enjoy it! Tonight: Meet friends. Go until you can’t go any longer.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Others seek you out, so much so that you might need to screen your calls. You have to take care of your must-do errands first. Plans could change. A discussion with a respected friend needs to happen soon. Tonight: So many possibilities -- decide what you want to do!

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Listen to suggestions, but do not allow them or your social life to stop you from completing what must be done. A call will be coming in during the next few days, which could open the door to new possibilities. Tonight: Relax by getting involved in a favorite pastime.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You could become involved in a situation that you normally would prefer to walk away from. Others find your logic to be quite wise. A close loved one might give you an earful. Just listen to what this person has to say; you do not need to agree. Tonight: Laugh and relax.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Your smiling manner attracts a different response than anticipated. As a result, others seem to open up more. Know that a lot is going on around you. Try not to slip into negativity, as you will see the difference in how others respond. Tonight:

‘Hair’ to bring 1960s to life at CAC

BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR

The national tour of the Broadway musical “Hair” will be taking the Creative Arts Center by storm tonight.

Bringing the style and music of the 1960s as well as a moving storyline, the show is sure to captivate.

“This is the national tour – it’s the same quality seen on Broadway,” said West Virginia University Arts & Entertainment public relations specialist David Ryan.

“This is the real deal with incredible sets, costumes and world-class acting. We’re proud we can bring a little Broadway to Morgantown.”

When the show premiered in Central Park, it was a hit. It was moved to Broadway due to overwhelming hype and demand and is now followed by a national tour.

Directed by Diane Paulus, the show won Best Musical Revival at the 2009 Tony Awards, further proving it to be a great success.

The storyline is based

on a group of teenagers in 1960s America searching for truth, peace and love while dealing with the issues surrounding the Vietnam War. And the themes and struggles the teenagers faced during the 1960s seem vital and resonate with audiences in the world today.

A long list of chart-topping songs are featured in the show, including “Aquarius,” “Good Morning, Starshine,” “Easy To Be Hard” and “Let the Sun Shine In,” to which audiences are also invited to dance and sing along. “‘Hair’ is a long-standing Broadway favorite, and we always try to bring in a wide array of shows,” Ryan said.

“We can’t wait to see this show live at our very own Creative Arts Center.”

Tickets for the show are $28 for students and can be purchased at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Found Footage Festival to showcase hilarious home movie clips at 123 by hunter homistek a&e writer

The previously unreleased, sometimes embarrassing and always hilarious home videos of several unsuspecting American citizens will provide humor and grand entertainment at 123 Pleasant Street tonight at 8:30.

Joe Pickett (The Onion) and Nick Prueher (The David Letterman Show), creators and curators of the Found Footage Festival, will hit the popular Morgantown venue to showcase their latest mash-up of the best home movie clips from across the country.

Part “Mystery Science Theater 3000” and part “Tosh.0,” this event is sure

to send audience members into animated fits of laughter for its 90 minute duration with hilarious and downright ridiculous snippets from VHS tapes found in the U.S. and Canada.

When in Vancouver, B.C., Pickett and Prueher stumbled across a tape entitled “Handmade Love” at a government office that was purging its VHS tapes.

The title was weird, but the content was even weirder.

“It turned out to be stranger than we ever imagined,” Prueher said.

“It turned out to be an instructional tape about masturbation – but the intended audience was developmentally disabled men.”

Everybody deserves a

fair chance to learn how to love themselves, so I can understand the tape’s purpose. Plus, the production quality is probably magnificent considering it was found at a government office, right?

“They didn’t have production value to make it look professional,” Prueher said. “So it looks like a snuff film; it looks like a complete amateur production, which makes an unsettling topic even more unsettling.”

Prueher said only a brief clip of this particular home video will be shown, and it is presented in a way that is innocent and comedic, above all.

From there, the content of the Found Footage Festival lessens in vulgarity,

and audience members are treated to a variety of homemade productions from exercise tapes to animal training videos.

For owners of ferrets, the Found Footage Festival will deliver a helpful care video to help you optimize your ferret experience.

“It (the video) wasn’t supposed to do this, but it makes a pretty convincing case for why you shouldn’t own a ferret,” Prueher said.

“Every scene with (the ferret) in it is just chaos.”

To present each clip, Pickett and Prueher offer their insight and thoughts to capably set the scene.

Additionally, select clips feature commentary from the actual people in the video, an aspect which adds depth to the perfor-

mance as a whole.

“If they live in the area, we’ll bring them to the live show, or we’ll film interviews with them and show them at the live show,” Prueher said.

“For Wednesday’s show, we’re going to show two interviews.”

While some of these participants are reluctant to have their private videos showcased to audiences, Prueher said their demeanor usually changes once they see the show and the presentation as a whole.

“As soon as they see the show is not mean-spirited and it’s more of a celebration of these clips, they totally change their tune,” Prueher said. “They become the stars of the

show.”

Born in the days before YouTube and instant mass publication of our most intimate and private moments, the Found Footage Festival offers an unfiltered, amusing look at a variety of subjects who had no idea their tapes would be seen by anybody, let alone a massive audience.

After months of scouring Salvation Army shelves and perusing user-submitted content, Pickett and Prueher assembled their latest masterpiece, and they’re bringing it to 123 for all to enjoy.

Tickets to the event can be purchased at the door for $10. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Chamber Winds ensemble holds final performance of the school year

BY NOELLE HARRIS A&E WRITER

The Chamber Winds ensemble performs their final concert of the year.

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The WVU Chamber Winds held its last concert of the year Monday evening.

The ensemble performed three pieces: “Serenade No. 12 in C minor, K. 388” by Mozart, “Bagatelles, Opus 47” by Dvorak and Michael Daugherty’s “Dead Elvis” for bassoon and small ensemble.

“Serenade in C minor,” is a four-movement work composed in 1782. It is scored for two oboes, two clarinets, two horns and two bassoons. It is one of Mozart’s most frequently

@ DA_Deals

performed pieces, although not much is known about it.

This was a great piece to start the concert, as it gave the audience an example of what a classic chamber winds ensemble is. It consists of a small number of oboes, bassoons, clarinets and French horns.

The next piece performed was Dvorak’s “Bagatelles.” The song includes five movements and is comprised of French horn, alto clarinet, clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon and oboe. The difference in instrumentation between this song and the first provided a nice contrast and added depth to the performance. While it has more movements than “Serenade No. 12,” it lasts for about the same length of time.

The last piece performed, “Dead Elvis” was the most interesting of all.

It featured clarinet, trumpet, bass trombone, bass, violin, percussion and solo bassoon. The piece was inspired by the King of rock ‘n’ roll, Elvis Presley and commissioned by a bassoonist.

The style is very jazzy and smooth, and the piece was a great way to end the performance, even though it is not a classic in the Chamber Winds repertoire.

Overall, the concert was a great exhibition of the talent of the performers. The members of the Chamber Winds ensemble showed great skill in the songs they performed, and those specific pieces were great choices for exhibiting their skill.

COMEBACK FALLS SHORT

mel moraes/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia head coach Randy Mazey addresses his team following its 7-6 loss to No. 17 Pitt Tuesday night at Hawley Field.

West Virginia erases 6-0 deficit, falls to No. 17 Pitt 7-6 in front of record crowd at Hawley Field by kevin hooker sports writer

A late rally fell short Tuesday evening, as the West Virginia baseball team (2719) lost to the No. 17 Pittsburgh Panthers (33-11) 7-6.

The loss snapped a fivegame winning streak for the

Mountaineers and dropped their record to 27-19. The Panthers are now 33-11 on the season and winners of their last seven games.

Tuesday night was senior night at Hawley Field, as the Mountaineers honored Chris Rasky, Brady Wilson, Dan Dierdorff and

Alan Filauro in front of a record setting crowd of 2,535.

“I can’t even put into words how I felt about the atmosphere tonight,” said West Virginia head coach Randy Mazey. “Tonight was the epitome of the future of Mountaineer baseball.”

Led by Bennette Hill’s

grand slam, the Panthers scored six runs in the top of the fourth inning. West Virginia responded, however, scoring two runs in the bottom of the frame and tacking on another in the fifth.

Down by 7-3 heading into the eighth inning, the Mountaineers scored three

runs to shrink the deficit to one. Despite the loss, Mazey was proud of his team’s performance.

“I thought this was a great tune up for (this weekend),” Mazey said. “I think if anybody came to see the Mountaineers for the first time tonight, I think they’ll come

back and watch us again.

We played pretty hard.”

The Mountaineers had 12 hits as a team. Their .279 batting average is fourth best in the Big 12 Conference.

talize a program that had remained dormant for the greater part of a decade.

And then Randy Mazey came into the picture.

Armed with the attitude that good things would come as long as the team was committed to getting better every day, the first-

year head coach knew success wasn’t going to come overnight. He understood that with a team that had struggled as much as West Virginia, you couldn’t turn it into a nationally competitive team in the snap of a finger.

In a time when the Moun-

taineers needed a coach like Mazey, Mazey also needed the Mountaineers.

Following the abrupt end of his tenure at East Carolina, Mazey had been stranded at TCU as an assistant coach. He recently told PerfectGame.org that it was at a point where no

teams were calling to give him an interview for a head coaching gig.

When Mazey was aching to try to prove he could lead a team to success and build a program, West Virginia came calling.

DA Postseason awards

WVU baseball claims Team of Year Award by nick arthur sports writer

Editor’s note: This is the third of five in a series of DA Postseason Awards that will run for the remainder of the week.

The third day of the 2012-13 The DA Postseason Awards continued Wednesday, as the staff selected on WVU’s In-State Player of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year and the Surprise Team of the Year.

Sophomore pitcher Harrison Musgrave was named the In-State Player of the Year, registering a 7-1 record with a 2.36 ERA. Musgrave, a native of Bridgeport, W.Va., sat out the 2012 season due to a medical redshirt and has responded as the defending two-time Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Week.

Musgrave currently has thrown 25 consecutive scoreless innings, helping the Mountaineers drop their team ERA by nearly two runs from last season to this season.

WVU currently stands in third place, at 27-18 on the season and holds a 9-6 record in Big 12 play.

Musgrave graduated from Bridgeport High School in 2010 and is a history student.

Fellow Mountaineer baseball player junior Matt Frazer earned second place. Frazer is a native of

Alum Creek, W.Va., and is currently tied for the team lead in RBIs this season.

Senior high jumper Sydney Cummings finished third in the voting. Cummings hails from Charleston, W.Va., and finished first at the Larry Ellis Invitational April 20.

Comeback Player of the Year Musgrave also was named the West Virginia Comeback Player of the Year for the 2012-13 school year.

The sophomore southpaw started 10 games in 2011 before injuring his shoulder, which later required Tommy John surgery.

Musgrave has started 11 games so far in the 2013 season, while hurling two complete game shutouts.

He is holding his opponents to a .211 batting average in more than 72 innings pitched.

Sophomore for ward Kevin Noreen finished second. Noreen played 23 games during the 2011-12 season before breaking his ankle in a game against Pitt Jan. 30, 2012.

Noreen rebounded this season, appearing in 31 games, starting 18 and averaging 18.2 minutes per game.

Junior wrestler Colin Johnston brought home third place after injuring his right shoulder and sitting out the 2010-11 season and injuring his left shoul-

der and redshirting the 2011-12 season. Johnston won seven matches overall this past season and held a 4-6 dual record.

Surprise Team of the Year The 2012-2013 school year was full of athletic team surprises.

The WVU baseball team earned The Daily Athenaeum Surprise Team of the Year award. The Mountaineers were picked to finish last by coaches in the Big 12 Conference and have responded with a 2718 overall record and a 9-6 record in Big 12 play.

First-year head coach Randy Mazey, a former assistant coach at TCU, has West Virginia in third place in conference play with just three conference series remaining.

The Mountaineers swept Kansas last weekend and earned votes for the top 25 poll.

The West Virginia football team earned second place. Following a top10 preseason ranking and climbing all the way to No. 4 in the polls, the Mountaineers lost six of their last eight games to finish 7-6 on the season.

The WVU basketball team finished third after its worst season since 2002.

The Mountaineers’ streak of five- straight appearances in the NCAA tournament came to an end.

’I’m gay’: NBA player Jason Collins breaks barrier WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — Last summer, NBA veteran Jason Collins considered joining an old Stanford college roommate, U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III, at Boston’s gay pride parade.

Collins eventually decided he shouldn’t, because he wanted to keep his secret safe: For more than a decade as a professional athlete, he had remained silent about his sexuality, worried about what teammates, opponents, fans – the world, really – might think.

Then came the Boston Marathon bombings two weeks ago, which Collins says “reinforced the notion that I shouldn’t wait for the circumstances of my coming out to be perfect. Things can change in an instant, so why not live truthfully?”

So after having, he explains, “endured years of misery and gone to enormous lengths to live a lie,” Collins became the first active player in one of the four major U.S. pro sports leagues to come out as gay.

He wrote a first-person article posted Monday on Sports Illustrated’s website that begins: “I’m a 34-yearold NBA center. I’m black.

And I’m gay.”

Most recently a littleused reserve center for the Washington Wizards after a midseason trade from the Boston Celtics, the 7-foot

Collins is a free agent who can sign with any team. He wants to keep playing in the NBA. And he plans to be in Boston on June 8, marching alongside Kennedy at the city’s 2013 gay pride parade.

“I didn’t doubt for a second, knowing he was gay, that he would be the one to do it,” Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, told The Associated Press. “I’ve never known him to look for publicity, or to look for the spotlight, but given that no one else would raise their hand, I knew he would do it.”

Added Kennedy: “I’m so proud of him. And I’m so proud to call him a friend.”

In an interview taped Monday and aired Tuesday morning, Collins told ABC’s “Good Morning America”: “I think the country is ready for supporting an openly gay basketball player.”

His announcement Monday, nearly two weeks after the Wizards’ season ended, immediately drew praise and backing not only from pals, current and former teammates and coaches, the NBA itself, and a sponsor, but also from the White House. President Barack Obama called him – “he was incredibly supportive and he was proud of me,” Collins told ABC – along with former President Bill

Clinton, and athletes in various other sports.

“I certainly appreciate it, as a gay person. Any time you can have someone this high-profile come out, it’s just so helpful, particularly to young people.

We’ve reached a tipping point,” said Billie Jean King, a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame who won 12 Grand Slam singles titles.

“We’ve got to get rid of the shame. That’s the main thing,” King said in a telephone interview. “And Jason’s going to help that.

He’s going to help give people courage to come out.” grown increasingly accepting of gay relationships since the late 1980s. That survey found in 1987 that 76 percent of Americans thought sexual relations between adults of the same sex was morally wrong. That fell to 43 percent by 2012.

That joking, though, leads to a larger point.

“Some people insist they’ve never met a gay person. But Three Degrees of Jason Collins dictates that no NBA player can claim that anymore. Pro basketball is a family. And pretty much every family I know has a brother, sister or cousin who’s gay,” Collins concludes. “In the brotherhood of the NBA, I just ap happen to be the one who’s In this Jan. 20, 2013 file photo, then-Boston Celtics center Jason Collins (98) guards Detroit Pistons center Greg Monroe, right, in the second half of an NBA basketball game in Auburn Hills, Mich. out.”

eer pitching staff gave up a combined five runs in their previous three games.

Pinch hitter Jacob Rice had two hits and one run, while Wilson batted 2-for-5.

“We teach our guys to not worry about results,” Mazey said. “Just focus on the pro-

cess – and the process tonight was grinding your way back into a game when you’re down 6-0 in front of your home fans. We believe in ourselves, and I felt good about the process tonight.”

Governor Earl Ray Tomblin was in attendance and

on themselves and – even though we keep playing well – we’re never picked to win, which is fine.

“It makes it easier to go out there and play loose and have more fun.”

You can tell there’s something different about this WVU team than those that have taken the field in the past.

Even in last night’s loss to Pittsburgh, it was clear to see the strides that this program has started to make in such a short period of time.

In years past, if the Mountaineers would have fallen behind 6-0 early in the game, they would have folded. They would have given in.

But that’s the exact opposite of what the Mountaineers did Tuesday night.

When it looked as if the game was over in the eighth inning, WVU kept fighting its way back. The Mountaineers almost pulled off the comeback, had it not been for a few crucial baserunning mistakes and some questionable calls.

The way a head coach handles himself through adversity rubs off on his team. And with all the adversity West Virginia has experienced this season, it needed a coach who would be able to help lead them through difficult times.

Randy Mazey has shown he can be that head coach.

And the Mountaineer baseball program is well on its way to becoming relevant because of that.

Continued from page 7 Both the West Virginia baseball team and Mazey needed someone to take a chance on them.

The Mountaineers were unanimously picked to finish last in the Big 12 heading into the season, and that was when Mazey’s mentality kicked in for the team.

“We know that people don’t expect us to win, so we just go out there like we have nothing to lose,” said sophomore starting pitcher Harrison Musgrave. “It makes it so much easier for us. Everyone we play, they’re going to play and put more pressure

signed the TIF bill after the second inning. The bill will create a new WVU baseball stadium, and some lawmakers predict the project will create around 1,100 construction jobs and as many as 1,500 permanent jobs.

“(Today) may be the biggest day in the history of West Virginia baseball,” Mazey said. “It’s going to propel us into the future of what we’re trying to do.

Everything was fun about tonight, except the final score.”

The Mountaineers will travel to Charleston, W.Va., this weekend for a threegame series against conference rival Oklahoma. The Sooners lead the Big 12 with a 10-5 record. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Austin, Bailey ready for next step of careers by amit batra sports editor

The West Virginia receiver duo of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey have been reunited as members of the St. Louis Rams after this weekend’s NFL Draft.

The Rams got some help for quarterback Sam Bradford after St. Louis traded up eight spots with the Buffalo Bills to select Austin at No. 8 overall.

Head coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Snead weren’t done there.

The Rams selected Bailey in the third round with the 92nd overall pick.

The 5-foot-8, 172-pound Austin is considered one of the biggest steals of this year’s draft class. At West Virginia, the receiver topped 100 receptions his junior and senior seasons with 20 touchdowns, an average of 8.9 yards on

72 carries last season and four kickoff returns for touchdowns.

Austin did enough to impress the scouts at the scouting combine. He is the first receiver the Rams have taken in the first round since Torry Holt in 1999. Austin, an all-American known for his versatile moves, recorded 2,910 allpurpose yards as a senior – fourth-most in NCAA history.

Despite his small size, Austin didn’t miss a single game in high school (Dunbar High School) or college. The Rams showed interest prior to the draft when they flew to Morgantown, W.Va., for a private visit with Austin after the playmaker had already had a workout in St. Louis.

“They definitely needed somebody like me,” Austin said during the press conference following the se-

lection. “I’m thankful to play with Sam Bradford and start my journey. The Rams believe in me, and I believe in them.”

Fisher believes Austin could be the right fit since he brings a lot to the table.

“Clearly there’s a lot you can do with him,” Fisher said. “He’ll start off as that slot receiver, but it doesn’t end there. There are a lot of different things you can do with him. He can stretch the field.

“He’s got excellent hands. He’s quick out of the break. He understands and likes football. He’s going to be really fun to watch.”

Bailey, a Biletnikoff Award finalist, is excited to get back to work with one of his brothers.

“I kind of look at Tavon (Austin) as a brother,” he said. “When I saw him go up on that stage and get

drafted, I kind of shed a few tears, because I was just very happy for him. Once again, we get a chance to play together.”

Bailey also had a private workout with the Rams following a separate trip to St. Louis. Fisher said he had a good feeling about the two being as a fit for the Rams.

“We had them on the board based on their grades, not what schools they attended. It was a great opportunity for us.

Both of them had outstanding workouts,” he said.

Together, Austin and Bailey totaled 488 receptions for 6,631 yards and 70 touchdowns in their college careers.

Now, both players have the opportunity to produce similar types of statistics in St. Louis. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia baseball witnesses historic crowd

BY CONNOR MURRAY ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

In the final game at Hawley Field Tuesday night, a record 2,535 fans were in attendance to watch the Backyard Brawl between the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Pittsburgh Panthers.

Whether it was the recent success of the Mountaineers, the fact that they were playing Pittsburgh or that it was Dollar Night at the park, the West Virginia baseball team got its first glimpse of what playing with an actual home field advantage can be like.

“It was incredible, especially for my last time playing here, being Senior Night and seeing all these fans out here; you can’t ask for anything more than that,” said senior right fielder Brady Wilson. “I’ve

never seen an atmosphere like this.”

Although the Mountaineers lost the game 7-6, the crowd did its part in sending the seniors out on a high note.

Coming into this season, some college baseball experts believed the Mountaineers would be behind the rest of the Big 12 in regards to their talent.

While that has proven inaccurate, West Virginia does still lag behind the rest of the teams in one area – its home field advantage.

Tuesday night’s game proved Mountaineer fans will come out to support this team, and if that trend continues, the new baseball stadium may join Milan Puskar Stadium and the WVU Coliseum as one of the toughest venues for opposing teams to visit.

“Coach Mazey did a great job turning this program around and getting people interested in us,” said sophomore second baseman Billy Fleming. “We play for them (the fans), we play for the state, and we’re happy for them to come out.”

After the second inning, West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin came out onto the field and officially signed the TIF bill into law, which will allow for a new stadium to be built for West Virginia baseball.

“That may be the biggest day in the history of West Virginia baseball,” said head coach Randy Mazey. “I can’t imagine a bigger day for the future of this program than signing that bill to get that stadium built.”

While legislators signed a new era of Mountaineer

baseball into law, West Virginia fans did their part in showing the team that support is growing for them.

“I can’t even put it into words how good I felt about the atmosphere tonight,” Mazey said. “Tonight was the epitome of the future of Mountaineer baseball.”

Although Mazey and the Mountaineers will not play at Hawley Field again this season, opportunities still remain to see them play against some of the top talent in Charleston, W.Va. West Virginia will take on the No. 13 Oklahoma Sooners in a three-game series in Charleston this weekend.

The Mo u nt a i n e e r s will return to Charleston to face the TCU Horned Frogs, coach Mazey’s former team, May 10-12. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
