New eCampus to debut in 2014

By Caroline Peters staff writer

West Virginia University will offer new and updated features to its eCampus learning system in January 2014. eCampus is the most commonly used tool for students to track grades and assignments and contact classmates.

“The company who created the current system did not keep it updated throughout the years to stay current

with advances in education,” said Amy Kuhn, Director of Academic and Instructional Technology. “The company’s new system has been completely redeveloped to meet the needs of higher education. Additionally, the current system is at end of life, meaning it will no longer be supported as of December 2013.”

The new eCampus will offer a range of features, including an early warning system that will recognize when a student is having a perfor-

Brew Pub to honor Morgantown’s founder with statue by ashley Tennant staff writer

This Saturday at the Morgantown Brewing Company, the “Brew Pub,” will hold a fundraiser to help raise money to build a statue for the founder of Morgantown: Zackquill Morgan.

Lauren Sandberg, manager at Morgantown Brewing Company, explained why the Brew Pub is hosting this event.

“We wanted to get involved because one of our flagship beers, the Zack Morgan’s IPA, is named for the founder of our great city,” she said. “It is important for us to support the Morgantown community in remembering our founding father, as well as getting him the notoriety he deserves.”

“As the town’s first tavern

ting that visibly benefits those around you,” Campione said.

“We are actively seeking out and looking forward to working with different majors, colleges and backgrounds of students to help move students’ issues forward in the upcoming year.”

Students can visit the Student Government website at www.sga. wvu.edu to download an application.

All applications must be submitted to the Student Organizations office

by April 6 or as positions are filled.

Boreman Bistro chef Andrew Brady wins national culinary competition by summer ratcliff staff writer

When most people think “Top Chef,” the first thing that comes to mind is the hit BRAVO reality TV series – but now one West Virginia University Dining Services Chef has achieved “Top Chef ” status.

In March, Chef Andrew Brady, lead chef at Boreman Bistro, represented WVU at the National Association of College and University Food Services Regional Culinary Challenge.

NACUFS is a trade organization for collegiate dining programs across the country. Chefs at the competition must use the same nutrition and menu guidelines as their home school.

Prior to the competition, Brady spent two months compiling his menu and working to bring his execution to perfection.

“I practiced for about two months with Eric Filburn, the executive chef for the Mountainlair, and Scott Spiker, the executive chef for the Alumni Center,” Brady said.

At the competition, Brady’s dish, an apple cider duck roulade with herb couscous, gingerale glazed carrot and parsnips, won the people’s choice award.

The people’s choice award was voted upon by an audience comprised of competitors from other colleges as well as professional food vendors.

Although his dish was an exotic one, Brady had previously prepared it at the Bistro.

Med students, profs take skills worldwide by megan calderado staff writer

During the month of April, West Virginia University Health Sciences students and faculty will be traveling to exotic locations around the world to offer their medical skills.

For these global health rotation, students will travel to Barbuda, China, Fiji, Ghana and Brazil to learn about other cultures and their different versions of health care.

“They get to experience health care in another coun-

try and culture and can learn from the health care providers they meet abroad,” said WVU Health Sciences professor Melanie Fisher. “And they gain a greater awareness of the health problems of people across the globe.”

In emerging nations, students help provide medical care under the supervision of WVU or local qualified physicians, and in bigger countries, they work as part of a team and observe health care as it is provided in that country, according to Fisher.

Colorado governor orders audit of inmate records COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.

(AP) — Colorado’s governor announced a sweeping review of the state’s prison and parole operations Thursday as more evidence piled up showing how a white supremacist gang member slipped through the cracks in the criminal justice system to become a suspect in the killing of the state’s prisons chief.

Evan Ebel was released from prison four years early due to a clerical error and violated his parole terms five days before the death of Department of Corrections Director Tom Clements.

Officials said the state will now audit inmates’ legal cases to ensure they are serving the correct amount of time. They also will ask the National Institute of Corrections to review the state’s parole system, which is struggling under large caseloads.

The announcement came as authorities said they were looking for two other members of Evan Ebel’s white supremacist prison gang in connection with Clements’ death – the first official word that the 211 Crew might be involved. Authorities said the two men were not suspects but “persons of interest” in the killing.

Investigators are trying to determine whether Clements’ slaying was an isolated attack or done at the direction of top members of the 211 Crew.

Amid that backdrop, state officials announced the audit at a news conference here, just south of the forested neighborhood where Clements was shot to death when he answered the front door of his house the night of March 19.

Five days earlier, parole records show, Ebel slipped his ankle bracelet, then stopped his required daily reports into the state parole system.

Police believe Ebel also had been involved with the killing of a pizza delivery man two days before. The state did not issue a warrant for his arrest on parole violations until March 20. Ebel died after a March 21 shootout with Texas authorities.

At the news conference, the head of Colorado’s parole system, Tim Hand, said his officers struggle to keep up with their caseloads.

“We’re releasing approximately 800 parolees out of our prison system every month. Every month,” Hand said. “So if we had the resources to have more contact and interactions with the populations, I think we would have better results.”

Ebel was sentenced to a combined eight years in prison for a series of assault and menacing convictions in 2005. He was convicted of assaulting a prison guard in 2008, but a clerical error led his new four-year term to be recorded as running simultaneously to his other sentences, rather than starting when they finished. As a result, he was released Jan. 28 – four years early.

“The Department of Corrections will prioritize the review of cases with the greatest level of risk, going back 10 years, and reviewing the required consecutive sentencing,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a statement. “The Department of Corrections will work with the attorney general’s office on any issues that may need further action.”

Authorities say the two Col-

Brady said while he was thrilled to receive the people’s choice award, he most enjoyed the experience he gained from the seasoned chefs who helped him prepare.

“These guys have been doing this for years. They flow through the kitchen; its second nature. It was really a growing experience for me.”

Brady said his goal now is to increase the exposure of Boreman Bistro to motivate more people to visit.

“We have a lot of offcampus students who stop by to grab a soup or salad on their way to and from

campus,” Brady said.

“We also see a lot of parents stop in on game days when they are in town.”

including demanding conditions and working with sparse medical supplies.

“The lack of resources in Fiji is the most striking difference so far,” Alison Spiker Morris said.

“There is only one working CT scanner on the island.

There is no imaging available at our clinic in Navua, not even X-ray.

“They must travel to Suva, Fiji, the capital, which is one hour away from our clinic,

Many cannot make the trip since they have already traveled many hours to get to Navua.”

She also said the practice of medicine is noticeably different in their culture because patients are freely prescribed antibiotics, even for viral illnesses.

“The patients will come back asking for an antibiotic if the doctor doesn’t write for one. It’s just the

expectation in this culture,” she said.

Fisher believes these trips help students such as Alison Spiker Morris both professionally and personally.

Art Up Close! series takes intimate look at single piece of art

BY JAMES YARIA A&E WRITER

Intimate yet lacking major substance, West Virginia University’s “Art Up Close!” gathered a handful of students and alumni to look closely at one very small work of art.

A meager group of less than 30 – more than half of whom had graying hair – sat through a lecture regarding the “cult of Lenin” Wednesday night in the WVU Museum Education Center.

Kristen Harkness, the designated lecturer of the evening, titled her lecture “Worshipping Lenin?” which focused on the history of Vladimir Lenin depicted through art and culminated with a granular look at the only art piece in the room.

The work is titled “Lenin at the Palladium” and is a 1992 serigraph by Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid.

Only about six inches at

its widest, the piece depicts Vladimir Lenin on display after his death in a room adorned with red silk curtains with two sets of stanchions and their ropes stand before him.

Surrounding the image is a large black border, which makes up most of the piece.

Harkness said that in Soviet culture, black borders were used to “signify passing” in order to note that whomever the black surrounded was deceased.

By extension, the overbearing black border in “Lenin at the Palladium” is used to show Lenin’s passing as greater than his actual physical self.

The small image inside a large border apparently downplays Lenin’s post-mortem significance, but to the common eye, it makes the art piece just seem blisteringly miniscule.

Focusing on one solitary art piece, “Art Up Close!”

has been attempting to go into great detail regarding one work as opposed to viewing many.

“Let’s look at a single individual piece of art,” said Joyce Ice, director of the Art Museum. “Let’s appreciate that.”

Ice took her inspiration for displaying one single piece from the “slow food movement,” which is an art movement dedicated to slowing down the process of consumption in order to enjoy each element more.

While not very prominent today, the artists, Komar and Melamid, received attention in America after emigrating from the USSR, largely due to their scrutiny of communism.

“They were well known among people who studied the Soviet Union,” Harkness said. “They became really, incredibly famous once they began showing these works in the West.”

Songwriter night to display local talent at McClafferty’s Pub

BY TERRI PARLETT COPY EDITOR

McClafferty’s Irish pub is offering a night of variety with its songwriter night Saturday.

The event, which will feature nine songwriters from the area, is a good chance to get a feel for different local artists, according to show organizer and performer Billy Matheny.

“You have nine really good artists, and they’re all going to be together for one show. It’s really good music,” Matheny said. “I guess it’s kind of like an appetizer sampler as opposed to a full entree.”

Matheny said the decision to have a songwriter night was as much for the performers as for the audience.

“I don’t get to play shows as often as I would like, and I just wanted to create an opportunity for that to happen,” Matheny said.

The motivation was simple: to bring together songwriters and have a good time.

“Some of them were just old friends of mine that I’ve played a lot of shows with in the past. It was just people that I really like,” Matheny said. “Everybody who is playing is just really good. They’re

all working really hard.

You know, they’re out there at it; they’re recording, and they’re touring and they’re gigging a lot … and I thought it would be fun to get together and do something.”

The variety of performers is sure to impress any audience, as it features popular area solo artists as well as solo acts from popular local bands.

The list of performers includes Aristotle Jones, of Aristotle and the Like Minds, a Morgantownbased neo-soul group drawing on bluesy, funky rock ‘n’ roll grooves. Aristotle is a Morgantown fa-

vorite, and was named as one of Paste Magazine’s 10 West Virginia Bands You Should Listen To Now. Matheny, who has played as a member of groups including The Frustrations and Southeast Engine, will also be performing. Additionally, Haley Slagle, who joins Matheny in The Frustrations as a guitarist, will be performing solo in Saturday’s event.

Several other popular Morgantown outfits are represented in the concert. Tucker Riggleman of The Demon Beat and Prison Book Club is performing his solo project.

Bishops, Brian Porterfield of The Love Me Knots and Goodwolf, Tyler Grady of Sleepwalker will also be on display.

Emily Rodgers, a Pittsburgh-based musician will be making her Morgantown premiere Saturday. Rodgers’ latest album, “Bright Day,” was released

by Mirsa Records, the same label Matheny is on with Southeast Engine.

From Huntington, W.Va., Bud Carroll will be joining the set with his garage rock sound.

Logan Venderlic, a recent WVU graduate, will also be performing his unique brand of Appala-

chian folk-wave. Venderlic released his self-titled LP last year.

Though the “songwriter” connotation evokes images of lonely people sitting in a spotlight with an acoustic guitar, Matheny promises this won’t be some acoustic cry-fest.

“I can assure you it’s not going to be four hours of people whining into microphones,” Matheny said.

And the range of the performers indicates the show will never begin to drag.

The show is at 10 p.m., and there is a $5 cover charge. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Esteemed movie critic Robert Ebert passes away at age 70 CHICAGO (AP) — Roger Ebert had the most-watched thumb in Hollywood.

With a twist of his wrist, the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic could render a decision that influenced a nation of moviegoers and could sometimes make or break a film.

The heavy-set writer in the horn-rimmed glasses teamed up on TV with Gene Siskel to create a format for criticism that proved enormously appealing in its simplicity: uncomplicated reviews that were both intelligent and accessible and didn’t talk down to ordinary movie fans.

Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967, died Thursday at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, two days after announcing on his blog that he was undergoing radiation treatment for a recurrence of cancer. He was 70.

“So on this day of reflection I say again, thank you for going on this journey with me. I’ll see you at the movies.” Ebert wrote Tuesday on his blog.

Despite this influence, Ebert considered himself “beneath everything else a fan.”

“I have seen untold numbers of movies and forgotten most of them, I hope, but I remember those worth remembering, and they are all on the same shelf in my mind,” Ebert wrote in his 2011 memoir titled “Life Itself.”

After cancer surgeries in 2006, Ebert lost portions of his jaw and the ability to speak, eat and drink.

But he went back to writing full time and eventually even returned to television.

In addition to his work for the Sun-Times, he became a prolific user of social media, connecting with fans on Facebook and Twitter.

Ebert’s thumb - pointing up or down - was his trademark. It was the main logo of the long-running TV shows Ebert co-hosted, first with Siskel of the rival Chicago Tribune and - after Siskel’s death in 1999 with Sun-Times colleague Richard Roeper. A “two thumbs-up” accolade was sure to find its way into the

advertising for the movie in question.

The nation’s best-known movie reviewer “wrote with passion through a real knowledge of film and film history, and in doing so, helped many movies find their audiences,” director Steven Spielberg said. His death is “virtually the end of an era, and now the balcony is closed forever.”

In early 2011, Ebert launched a new show, “Ebert Presents At the Movies.”

The show had new hosts and featured Ebert in his own segment, “Roger’s Office.” He used a chin prosthesis and enlisted voiceover guests or his computer to read his reviews.

Fans admired his courage, but Ebert told The Associated Press that bravery had “little to do with it.”

“You play the cards you’re dealt,” Ebert wrote in an email in January 2011.

“What’s your choice? I have no pain. I enjoy life, and why should I complain?”

Scott Jordan Harris, a British man who wrote for Ebert’s website, said he was moved that the critic lost his voice but “never let that make him silent.”

Always modest, Ebert had Midwestern charm but stuck strongly to his belief that critics honestly tell audiences “how better to invest two hours of their lives.”

On the air, Ebert and Siskel bickered like an old married couple and openly needled each other. To viewers who had trouble telling them apart, Ebert was known as the fat one with glasses, Siskel as the thin, bald one.

Ebert favored blue sweater vests and khakis.

Later in life, after his surgeries, he switched to black turtlenecks and white, film director-style scarves.

Joining the Sun-Times part-time in 1966, he pursued graduate study at the University of Chicago and got the reviewing job the following year. His reviews were eventually syndicated to several hundred other newspapers, collected in books and repeated on innumerable websites, which would have made him one of the most influential film

critics in the nation even without his television fame.

His 1975 Pulitzer for distinguished criticism was the first, and one of only three, given to a film reviewer since the category was created in 1970. In 2005, he received another honor when he became the first critic to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Ebert’s breezy and quotable style, as well as his deep understanding of film technique and the business side of the industry, made him an almost instant success.

He soon began doing interviews and profiles of notable actors and directors in addition to his film reviews - celebrating such legends as Alfred Hitchcock, John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. Ebert also offered words of encouragement for then-newcomer Martin Scorsese, who was one of three filmmakers working on a bio-documentary about Ebert at the time of his death.

In 1969, Ebert took a leave of absence from the Sun-Times to write the screenplay for “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.” The movie got an “X” rating and became somewhat of a cult film.

Ebert’s television career began the year he won the Pulitzer, first on WTTWTV, the Chicago PBS station, then nationwide on PBS and later on several commercial syndication services.

And while Siskel and

Ebert may have sparred on air, they were close off camera. Siskel’s daughters were flower girls when Ebert married his wife, Chaz, in 1992.

“He’s in my mind almost every day,” Ebert wrote in his autobiography. “He became less like a friend than like a brother.”

Ebert found a professional and personal partner in Chaz, who acted as his co-producer. He often would use his computer voice to say “I love you” to her during television interviews.

She returned the sentiment, telling Ebert during the final dress rehearsal for “Ebert Presents at the Movies” that he had an “indomitable spirit.”

“And you know that’s right,” Chaz Ebert told her husband. “Because people would have understood totally if you decided never to do any of this again.”

Ebert was also an author, writing more than 20 books that included two volumes of essays on classic movies and the popular “I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie,” a collection of some of his most scathing reviews.

The son of a union electrician who worked at the University of Illinois’ Urbana-Champaign campus, Ebert was born in Urbana on June 18, 1942. The love of journalism, as well as of movies, came early. Ebert covered high school sports for a local paper at age 15 while also writing and editing his own science fiction

fan magazine.

He attended the university and was editor of the student newspaper. After graduating in 1964, he spent a year on scholarship at the University of Cape Town in South Africa and then began work toward a doctorate in English at the University of Chicago.

Ebert’s hometown embraced the film critic, hosting the annual Ebertfest film festival and placing a plaque at his childhood home.

Ebert also was embraced online in the years after he lost his physical voice. He kept up a Facebook page, a Twitter account with more than 800,000 followers and a blog, Roger Ebert’s Journal.

The Internet was where he forged relationships with his readers, posting links to stories he found in-

teresting and writing long pieces on varied topics, not just film criticism. He wittily interacted with readers in the comments sections and liked to post old blackand-white photos of Hollywood stars and ask readers to guess who they were.

“My blog became my voice, my outlet, my `social media’ in a way I couldn’t have dreamed of,” Ebert wrote in his memoir. “Most people choose to write a blog. I needed to.”

Ebert said he did not fear death because, writing in 2010 that he didn’t believe there was anything “on the other side of death to fear.”

“I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state,” he wrote. “I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can’t say it wasn’t interesting.”

Potential employers have seen hundreds of applications before yours, and they’re going to see hundreds more before it’s all said and done. Standing out from the crowd has never been more important. This means creating a resume that is fluid, eye-catching and well-designed, writing personalized cover letters that engage the reader and expressing just why you’ve always wanted to work for Company A, B or C. It’s exhausting, but it can also mean the difference between gainful employment and painful employment.

3. Find the right fit Whether it’s a new job, a new

apartment or a new city, understanding what you want early can keep you from nerve-wracking decisions down the road.

If you’re a fan of large cities, the last place you’ll be happy is a cubicle situated in the middle of a large corn field. If you want to live in a nice rent-controlled apartment with windows or a pet-friendly policy, it’s important to start the process early before you’re sleeping beside your toilet and across from your fridge above a 24-hour tobacco outlet.

Do your research and be prepared. We promise you’ll be happier for it. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Service and leadership in church and state david perry columnist

Pope Francis I, the newly chosen leader of the Catholic Church, celebrated his first Holy Week with something of a break from tradition. On Maundy Thursday, a celebration of the Last Supper of Christ, the pope traditionally washes the feet of 12 men to recreate the same act that Jesus performed on his disciples. Pope Francis chose a woman to participate in the ceremony.

This may not seem like a big deal to most people, especially non-Catholics, but the choice shocked many conservative members of the Catholic Church. As a cardinal in Argentina, Pope Francis was known for eschewing the trappings that his position in the church afforded him and being an advocate for the poor in his area. Again, this shouldn’t be a big deal. High-ranking officials in the Catholic Church should be known for their generosity and humility.

Unfortunately, this is not often the case. Officials in the church tend to become more corrupt and decadent the further they are removed from the daily life of their members.

But perhaps in choosing a man like Pope Francis, the Catholic Church is ready for some meaningful reform in the workings of the Catholic Church.

There are many problems facing the Catholic Church. The sexual abuse of children has become quite prominent, and new information about the extent of the abuse seems to come out every year. Bishops and cardinals in the church were aware of the abuse yet did very little to

ap

Pope Francis salutes as he arrives for his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s square at the Vatican Wednesday. prevent further abuse. The former Pope Benedict, while he was a cardinal in Germany, responded to an allegation of abuse by transferring the offending clergyman to another congregation. In sweeping a lot of the abuse under the rug, the Catholic Church lost a lot of its credibility as a moral agency.

In electing s omeone like Pope Francis, the Church is recognizing the need for reform and change. Pope Francis seems like the kind of leader who leads by serv-

ing and perhaps his activism will shake up an institution that has become complacent and stagnant.

It was this complacency and lack of active leadership that led to the abuses in the first place. Perhaps with stronger leadership, these kinds of scandals will become less common.

I’m not Catholic, or even religious, but I understand and respect the power that an institution like the Catholic Church has in people’s lives.

No one is expecting the church to become a bas-

tion of progressive ideas, but a church that is in the news for its good deeds is certainly more preferable than one that is constantly being rocked by scandal.

The principle of leadership through service is not only applicable to the Church but to other governing bodies as well. Most elected officials rarely leave Washington, D.C. and only return to their constituencies around election time to raise funds and give speeches. Perhaps if they spent more time among the people they represent,

they would have a stronger grasp on the problems that face their constituents and work to fight for their needs in Congress.

This is all too rare among the people who represent us in government. Either they are stuck voting with their party or voting for their corporate donors. Either way, the people they represent suffer for it.

One politician who bucks this trend is Cory Booker. I know I mention him often, but his example is truly inspiring. He

reaches out to anyone who has a complaint or a question on his Twitter account, solving problems for his constituents on a case by case basis. He regularly promotes mentor programs and encourages service to help make the quality of life for the people he represents better.

It’s a cliché to recite Kennedy’s quote on service, but maybe he should have directed it toward the people in government and the church. They should be serving and representing us, not themselves.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Take off ASAP.

BORN TODAY This year you make it a point to express your feelings more often -- especially your friendly, more positive ones. Others respond in kind, and they will have an easier time relating to you as a result. If you are single, you’ll do well in just about any circumstance. You need to decide what you want from a relationship and choose the right person accordingly. You could meet someone simply by going about your daily activities. If you are attached, your openness will encourage greater closeness.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Relate on an individual basis, and let others know why they are important to you. Sometimes you assume that others just know. An occasional confirmation or acknowledgment means a lot. Your relationships will improve as a result. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Let your weekend plans float around in your mind as much as you’d like. Take off to visit some friends, or plan a get-together in the near future. Your energy might be needed, as others might be dragging.

You know where you are heading and why. Tonight: Where the gang is.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You might be left trying to tie up the loose ends of a situation. You might not know why this is the case, but you do know what to do. Be willing to say “no” if you can’t handle any more.

Someone you really care about opens up. Help only if you want to. Tonight: A must appearance.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Keep reaching out to others. You’ll want to get the lay of the land before you commit to anything. Friends might push you in a certain direction.

Be honest with yourself and evaluate your options. Follow their lead if you think it is the best choice. Tonight:

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Others seem to be in control right now.

You can carry on all you want, but either go along with someone else’s plans or make your own. Accept an invitation that involves travel and seeing someone at a distance. Feelings flow in this setting. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Defer to someone else in order to lighten your workload. Confusion surrounds a personal situation. You have some choices to make. Stay centered in your priorities, commitments and whatever else is important to you. Listen to news carefully.

Tonight: Visit with a dear friend.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You can’t suppress your playfulness -even if you should change your mind or decide to do something differently.

Someone clearly is on your side, but he or she still might give you some flak. Feed off of this person’s energy, and finish a long-overdue project. Tonight: TGIF. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Stay centered, and recognize when enough is enough. You know far more than what you are sharing. Realize what is happening between you and someone else. Make sure that

Voca People to fill CAC with a cappella

jewishfed.org

The Voca People enjoy themselves while performing their comedic musical show live.

BY LACEY PALMER ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

Aliens will invade the Creative Arts Center Sunday when the unique musical show, “The Voca People,” takes the stage.

After recently taking over New York with a 14-month run, the performers will visit the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre Sunday evening.

These friendly, musical aliens from planet Voca communicate only through vocal expressions. During the show, the cast of eight relies on the help of the au-

dience and musical energy to refuel their spaceship.

The most impressive aspect about the group is that the entire performance is done a cappella with the art of modern beat box.

“It’s what makes them truly unique,” said Cindy Sibilsky, executive producer and marketing director for the United States tour. “You’re hearing an entire orchestra or an entire stereo system, but it’s only coming from their voices.”

Another aspect that contributes to the show’s great success is its abil-

ity to please nearly all audiences.

“It’s truly for everybody, and I know a lot of shows try to say that, but in this case there really is as it features over 70 songs from Mozart to Madonna to Run DMC,” Sibilsky said.

“Imagine that 95-year-old great grandparent taking their five-year-old great grandchild to this show.

They both get something out of it as well as everyone in between.”

Sibilsky, who’s been with the show for a year and a half, hopes the group will eventually reach the suc-

cess other vocal groups, as The Blue Man Group, have achieved, and she believes they are on track to do so.

“The New York run was a 14-month run, which for New York is pretty fantastic,” Sibilsky said. “We had to keep extending it by popular demand.”

The current tour is the first U.S. tour for the show, which began in February and will conclude in late April, making more than 35 stops.

“The Voca People” has five different fleets of Voca people who travel between the United States, Canada,

France, Germany, Russia and Japan, according to Sibilsky.

“It’s kind of showing no limits,” Sibilsky said.

“We’ve grown from one company that traveled the world in 2010, and now we have five different fleets, so it’s just continuing to grow.”

Sibilsky said attendees can expect an incredible experience.

“The creators are always changing the medleys and keeping up with the latest music and trends, so there’s always something fresh and new,” Sibilsky

said. “We want ‘The Voca People’ to be the best possible, most unique way you can hear your favorite songs in one show.”

The show takes place Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre of the Creative Arts Center.

Tickets can be purchased at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for $39-$49 for the general public and $28 for WVU students. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Local metal bands to supply variety at 123 Sunday

BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER

A collection of intense modern metal bands will be taking over at 123 Pleasant Street Sunday.

The exhausting lineup features performances by an eclectic mix of local stalwarts and newcomers to Morgantown including Irukandji, Disillusion Effect, Solomon’s Key and Reanimator.

Hailing from Ford City, Pa., Irukandji will be making the trek down I-79 to purvey their purely modern and abrasive take on death metal. The band’s work brings to mind influences from very successful bands like The Black Dahlia Murder and also the newest of Job For a Cowboy’s material.

Fast-paced, dissonant riffing menacingly slithers over hordes of bone-rattling blast beats and contrasting high and low, serrated-sharp vocal work

coming together to form some of the elements that make this five-member band’s abominations sound like a more than fitting soundtrack to the end of the world. The band simply sounds ominous.

Disillusion Effect also brings death metal to the table, though theirs is more groove friendly than Irukandji’s brand. They aggressively send out wave after sonic wave of rolling palm-muted impacts that might require you to be peeled off the floor when it’s all said and done.

The vocalist from this band gets major props not only for sounding like Randy Blythe of Lamb of God but for sounding like what Blythe would have sounded like if he stayed with and damn near perfected the higher range vocal style from his band’s earliest work.

Much different from these two bands is Solomon’s Key. Straight out of

Local metal group Reanimator will play at 123 Sunday.

Clarksburg, W. Va., these guys choose a more finely tempered feeling death metal sound that is every bit as biting as their peers.

Distorted but full chords are marred and scorched by crushing staccato lowend riffs, plenty of blast beats and vocal stylings that shift between Six Feet Under-esque cookie monster growls and a more modern-sounding, allconsuming vitriolic wall of sound that is heard in the newest deathcore and death metal releases.

Last but not least is Reanimator, who like Disillusion Effect are no strangers to the stage at 123. Bringing with them measured, technical brutality, they never fail to work a crowd into a frenzy. Sudden but effective starts and stops serve to heighten the bloodpumping experience by letting you think you’re safe then smashing you down again with wicked force.

Deal with Redskins opens door for White to continue NFL comeback by michael Carvelli sports editor

After former West Virginia quarterback Pat White finished working out at Pro Day in Morgantown a few weeks ago, he was confident that he had done enough to show he had what it took to play in the NFL once again.

“I’m pretty certain I’ll be in somebody’s uniform next year – whether it’s in the NFL or in the Canadian league – and I’m excited about that,” White said at the event. “Hopefully somebody saw something they liked.”

Apparently it was the Washington Redskins that saw potential in White and signed him into a contract Wednesday.

The deal brings White, who was selected with the No. 44 overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins, back to the NFL for the first time since his rookie season.

When he was cut by the Dolphins before the start of the 2010 season and then by the Virginia Destroyers

of the USFL in 2011, White decided that he was done with football.

“When I was with the Dolphins, I selfishly tried to walk away from the game, which in turn got me cut because of factors that affected me outside of football,” White said.

“I guess I tried to run from myself, had nowhere to go, and my heart brought me right back to the game of football.”

White’s breakup with the game he had been playing since he was a child wasn’t an easy one to cope with. The former Mountaineer signal caller left Morgantown as the only college quarterback to win four bowl games and as the NCAA’s all-time leading rusher among quarterbacks.

He said up until recently he wasn’t even able to watch games on TV. But once he started exposing himself to the game some more, he realized that his pursuits of a career in baseball and acting for the last few years were just ways to distract himself from what he really wanted to do.

“It wasn’t easy. It was probably

two of the hardest years of my life,” White said. “I couldn’t watch football for about a year and a half, two years. It was hard for me to watch.

“I knew the first time I turned on the TV and was able to watch a game that the passion was still there. That fire was still there.”

But before he was able to convince an NFL team that he was ready to go, he knew he had to prove to himself that he was going to be able to do it.

Since making the decision he wanted to make his comeback, White went to San Diego to work with quarterback coach George Whitfield. Whitfield, who has made a name for himself working with successful college quarterbacks like Heisman Trophy winners Cam Newton and Johnny Manziel, as well as former Mountaineer quarterback Geno Smith, told White he saw plenty of potential in the lefthanded quarterback.

“That’s how you succeed in life. If you don’t believe, then nobody else will,” White said. “Nobody else can

motivate you like you can motivate yourself. It doesn’t matter what (the media is) saying, what my family was saying. It’s all about how I feel and the faith I have in myself.”

With the NFL game moving more toward read option offenses similar to the one that White played well in at WVU, he thinks this comeback could be coming at the perfect time. But he also understands that he needs to prove to the Redskins that he’s 100 percent invested in the game that he walked away from just a few short years ago.

“I definitely have to prove my heart’s in it and that I’m dedicated to the game,” he said. “A lot of people were saying that I was ahead of my time; I just say I wasn’t patient enough.

“My heart brought me back to the game of football, even though I tried my hardest to run from it. It’s what I love, and it’s what I’m going to do and be around until they put me six feet under.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia to host NCAA regionals by meghan carr sports writer

The NCAA Regionals will return to Morgantown this weekend when the West Virginia University gymnastics team competes against No. 5 Michigan, No. 8 Nebraska, No. 17 Illinois, No. 19 Kentucky and North Carolina.

The meet will take place Saturday at 6 p.m. in the WVU Coliseum.

Michigan is seeded first; Nebraska will be in the No. 2 spot, followed by Illinois and Kentucky. The Mountaineers are seeded fifth, and North Carolina is seeded sixth.

After watching the selection show and seeing where teams were placed, the team said it was pleased with the schools selected for the Morgantown regional.

“We are really excited about our region in particular because we have some really great schools coming, like Nebraska, and they always have a really amazing team.

We’ve gone up against Michigan and did really well against them this year, so that was encouraging,” said junior Hope Sloanhoffer.

The top two teams will advance to the NCAA National Championship. The top two all-around gymnasts not on a qualifying team will advance to the NCAA Championships at UCLA in Southern California.

WVU has two all-around performers: senior Kaylyn Millick and Sloanhoffer.

The Mountaineers have made it to the National Championship twice: first in 1999 when they hosted the NCAA Regional and again in 2000 when the competition was held in Minnesota. Both times the Mountaineers were seeded fifth.

For a second time this season No. 5 Michigan will compete inside the Coliseum. UM previously competed Feb. 24 and won the tight battle 196.925-196.550. WVU scored a season-high and the 10th best score in its program’s history that night.

mel moraes/the daily athenaeum

The West Virginia gymnastics team will host NCAA regionals this weekend. Other teams in attendance will be No. 5 Michigan, No. 8 Nebraska, No. 17 Illinois, No. 19 Kentucky and North Carolina.

Michigan is hoping to advance to nationals for the 19th time in 21 seasons, but four teams stand in their way, including two conference members.

No. 8 Nebraska surprised the higher ranked No. 5 Michigan team when it achieved its third consecutive Big 10 title behind a programs’ best 49.725 vault score.

No. 17 Illinois, another Big 10 member, finished fourth in the Big 10 Championship meet with a season-high 196.475.

The Mountaineers will also compete against a familiar foe in North Carolina. The Tar Heels are a member of WVU’s former conference, the EAGL. No. 19 Kentucky had one of the toughest schedules this season.

As they competed against six top25 teams that included No. 1 Florida, No. 3 Alabama and No. 7 LSU all in one season. The SEC has 7 teams in the top 25 – the most of

any conference.

UM and UNC are the only teams competing this weekend that have previously competed in the Coliseum. Kentucky and North Carolina are the only teams in close proximity to Morgantown, and the Mountaineers believe this will give them an advantage.

“Other teams have a long travel, and I think that definitely gives us a huge advantage. We’ve had some long travels like Utah, and it definitely takes a toll on you, a lot more than you think. So, I know those teams will definitely have that against them,” Sloanhoffer said.

After a disappointing loss in the Big 12 Championships last weekend, the Mountaineers are moving forward and focusing on regionals.

“It was a little intense – Big 12 in particular. I do feel the judges in postseason are more critical than regular season, and it should be that way. We are held to a higher

standard because of what we have achieved. I think Big 12 helped prepare us for this weekend,” Sloanhoffer said.

Head coach Jason Butts said his team can and will hang with these higher ranked teams.

“There is a reason we compete against some of the best teams during the regular season such as Utah, Oklahoma and Michigan,” Butts said. “The star power, they’ve (WVU) already seen it, and to be honest, I think they are over it.”

Butts also said he feels confident and relaxed as regionals approach.

“I have never been this calm going into a regional in my coaching career; I trust these girls,” he said.

Tickets are on sale for $12 and can be purchased at NCAA.com/ tickets or by calling 1-800-WVUGame. WVU students will have free admission. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

NFL draft becoming platform for WVU exposure In less than three weeks, former student athletes, their family and friends will fill the seats of Radio City Music Hall in New York City anxiously awaiting their name to be called in the 2013 edition of the National Football League Draft.

This is a time when dreams come true for some of the most athletically gifted young men in the country, many of whom have invested more than a decade of their time to become the most advanced football player possible.

Three former West Virginia greats – Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey – will be three of those players awaiting their fate.

Smith and Austin are both projected first-round picks, with Smith expected to be taken in the first five picks and Bailey projected as a third- or fourth-round selection.

West Virginia had three players drafted a year ago – with Bruce Irvin snagging a first-round selection – and four players drafted in 2011.

It’s essential for Mountaineer fans to truly appreciate what the West Virginia program is accomplishing.

After only three total former West Virginia players were taken in the first round in the past 23 years, Smith and Austin could join Irvin as one of three WVU players taken in the first round in the last two years.

This isn’t something that occurs frequently and needs to be recognized.

Over the last few seasons, Smith, Austin and Bailey have displayed tremendous talent and ability in front of Mountaineer fans at Milan Puskar Stadium. They have brought great recognition to the West Virginia program and will continue to do so at the next level.

Other than Adam Jones, the No. 6 pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, no other West Virginia player has been taken in the top six since Dick Leftridge was taken third overall in 1966.

Yes, Dick Leftridge.

Smith is currently projected to be picked No. 4 overall by the Philadelphia Eagles, with both the Jaguars and Raiders showing interest in choosing him as No. 2 and No. 3 picks, respectively. Austin is currently predicted to be taken in the mid-to-late first round.

My point is that what these West Virginia standouts are accomplishing at the professional level can’t be taken for granted.

Not very often will a Mountaineer get the opportunity to be taken in the top 5 of the NFL Draft, let alone three players taken in the first round in two years.

The trio of 2013 Draft standouts may have had their struggles on the field in the 2012, while posting the longest losing streak in the program since 1987.

But, they are three of the most talented players to have ever worn the Old Gold and Blue.

They’re providing positive exposure to West Virginia University on the national level, which doesn’t happen as often as it should.

Be sure to sit on your couch April 27 for the first round of the draft and anxiously await for your Mountaineers to be called.

Take in the moment just like Smith, Austin and Bailey will be doing.

It doesn’t happen very often. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

The Rock ready to roll as WrestleMania nears

Classifieds SPECIAL NOTICES

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

AP

World Wrestling Entertainment personality Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson speaks at a news conference in East Rutherford, N.J. (AP) — The Rock is ready to roll into WrestleMania as a dual champion.

He’s the reigning king of the box office after “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” stormed to $40.5 million over the weekend to become the No. 1 movie.

And in the ring, he’s walking tall as WWE champ.

Everything Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson touches these days turns to gold, from the film franchises he whips into blockbusters to the diamond-encrusted WWE championship belt he drapes over his shoulder before he hits the ring to lay the smack down one more time in his triumphant return to the company.

Johnson is set for his latest starring role when he defends his title against John Cena at WrestleMania 29 on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The main event rematch is the pinnacle for the sports entertainment powerhouse and one of the most popular spectator sports in America.

“It’s the biggest show of my career,” the 40-year-old Johnson said.

Johnson has the sequel market cornered, flexing his box office muscle in franchise films as “Fast Five,” ‘’The Mummy Returns,”

Conquerer SAT. 9PM $5

the

‘’Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” and now “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.”

He’s ready to prove another one of his sequels can top the original when he faces Cena on Sunday.

In his first singles match since 2004, Johnson defeated Cena last year at Sun Life Stadium in Miami in a WrestleMania main event billed as “Once in a Lifetime.”

Well, that tagline may as well be “Once a Year.”

Hard to believe a professional wrestling company would stretch truth in advertising, but the two became set for a return bout once Rock beat C.M. Punk at January’s Royal Rumble to win the championship and Cena won the 30-man Rumble to become the No. 1 contender.

Johnson said the rematch made sense because it was still the biggest money match the promotion could offer in the Super Bowl of sports entertainment.

He had the numbers to back it up. With one full year of hype, Rock-Cena drew 1.217 million pay-per-view buys last year and another 78,363 packed Sun Life Stadium on the strength of the match. Much like the Final Four or World Series, the WrestleMania brand is almost guaranteed to fill a stadium before a match is announced. It’s getting fans at home to plunk down at least $59.95 for the standard definition broadcast that can truly stuff the coffers.

“Rock means revenue.

Rock means ratings,” WWE Hall of Famer Booker T said.

“The Rock is great, not just a great performer, but he is a great ambassador for this business.”

With shows tailored around The Rock, the last two WrestleManias have topped 1 million buys. The WWE expects to hit that mark again Sunday.

STONWALL JACKSON5 THE FURR

The Rock had a wrestling ring set up wherever he was on location filming movies, his private training camps a part of the grind necessary to keep his spot as the biggest dual threat in entertainment.

“I always knew he loved the business,” Cena said.

“He loves it so much now that he really is the busiest person in the history of the WWE. He’s everywhere at once. He can do everything and still compete as WWE champion.”

Rock was in position to call his shots and he picked Cena for his return feud over Punk or any other superstar on the roster. For all the trash talking in the ring, there’s a deep respect in real life between two wrestlers who know how to carry the global sports entertainment empire.

“He’s been the No. 1 guy in the company for many years now, and has managed to maintain a genuine, optimistic love for the business,” Johnson said. “Often times, inherently, what the business creates is pessimism over time, and unhappiness. John has been able to stay above that, not get lost in the garbage, and not get lost in the noise.

He’s very focused, very committed. There’s an X-factor about John that moves an audience.”

Rock is among four key stars – including Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker and Triple H – who work a scaled back schedule with main event slots waiting for their returns. The four have combined for five pay-per-view matches since last year’s WrestleMania, the kind of work-rate wrestlers on a punishing 200-day-a-year schedule could appreciate more than any five-star match. Amid gripes Rock takes a headline position that could go to a full-time wrester, Cena said Johnson

has earned that spot.

“I wish we had one guy with 10 percent of his vision and his aspiration,” he said. “When he gets a small opportunity, he kicks the damn door down and owns the horse. Often times here, we have superstars that remind me of a hamster on the treadmill and those are the guys that usually complain.

I don’t take too kindly to them. I’m fortunate Rock’s here and I’m glad he’s here.

He can show up whenever he wants.”

Johnson said he hasn’t decided if he’ll participate in WrestleMania 30 next year in New Orleans. With a loss Sunday, the anniversary card could set up an epic rubber match. Then again, the WWE would be foolish to leave a Rock-Brock Lesnar bout on the table without a payoff at a major payper-view event.

If Rock returns, he’ll need to set up that ring for training camps in Budapest, where he’ll head after WrestleMania to start shooting “Hercules.”

Not a wrestling fan? Hate action movies? Well, you’ve probably seen Johnson pop up the last six months everywhere from a starring role in a Super Bowl milk commercial, or on TV hosting his new reality show, or maybe on your mobile device with the game, “Rockpocalypse.”

The Rock sure does know his role – to entertain in every available forum.

“I never feel that it’s too much because I’m aware of the plan. I put the plan together,” he said, laughing.

“But in that, comes really incredible challenges that require a lot of people to embrace the vision of it, to support it.

“It was one of those things where you take a risk and, fortunately, it’s paid off.”

He has the WWE title belt around his waist and a No. 1 movie to prove it.

WVU takes seven-game win streak to Baylor by connor murray sports writer

West Virginia starting pitcher Corey Walter fires a pitch against Texas Tech in Charleston, W.Va. last month.

Following a 10-2 victory against Marshall at Hawley Field Tuesday, the WVU baseball team will take its seven-game win streak on the road this weekend as it travels to Waco, Texas, to face the Baylor Bears.

Given their recent success, the Mountaineers have been turning heads in the Big 12 Conference. Picked to finish last in the Big 12 in the conference’s preseason poll, the team is exceeding expectations with a 3-3 record in conference and 1613 mark overall.

The recent seven-game win streak has shown the versatility of the Mountaineers as a team. Whether by offensive explosions or shut-down pitching, WVU has been winning by any means necessary during the past few weeks.

On paper the Mountaineers seem to be the better team on the offensive end. Scoring an average of 5.6 runs per game this season with a team batting average of .301, the WVU offense has been lighting up the scoreboard.

Baylor is hitting .260 as a team while scoring 4.5 runs per game. Stats can be misleading, however, as the game is played on the field and not on paper.

Looking to neutralize the Baylor offense, head coach Randy Mazey will send his top three starters to the hill this weekend.

Left-hander Harrison Musgrave will get the start Friday night. Coming in with a record of 4-1 and an earned run average of 3.70, the sophomore leads the team in victories to this point in the season.

Corey Walter is scheduled to get the start in Saturday’s game, as the junior looks to improve upon his 2-2 record and 4.10 ERA. Walter has surrendered the fewest walks among the starting pitchers this season with 22 through 33.2 innings pitched.

To close out the series, sophomore John Means will get the start Sunday. With a 3-1 record and ERA of 1.86, the argument can be made that the left-hander has been the ace of the pitching staff to this point in the season.

The Baylor offense has

been powered by senior Cal Towey. 29 games into the season, Towey has 26 runs batted in with an average of .301.

Towey leads the team in doubles (9), triples (2), total bases (50) and runs scored (18).

The third spot in any team’s lineup is often saved for the best all-around hitter on the squad. Such is the case for Baylor, as senior Nathan Orf leads the team with a .385 batting average.

Orf also leads the team in slugging percentage (.459), on base percentage (.477), hits (42) and tied for the lead in total bases (50) with fellow senior Towey.

With a solid performance in Waco, the Mountaineers could really put the Big 12 on notice. Not many people expected the team to even contend for a spot in the Big 12 tournament this season, and a few wins at Baylor could go a long way in solidifying a position in the field.

First pitch in Friday’s game is set for 7:35 p.m., while Saturday and Sunday’s game are set for 4:05 p.m. and 2:05 p.m., respectively. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers travel Pro Football Weekly to Ohio and Alabama takes jab at Geno Smith by kevin hooker sports writer

The West Virginia track and field team returns to action this weekend, with half the jumpers participating in the Tiger Track Classic in Auburn, Ala., while the rest of the team will travel to Athens, Ohio, for the Ohio Team Challenge.

Competition for the jumpers will commence Friday at 11 a.m. and will continue through Saturday.

The events for the runners traveling to Ohio will begin Saturday at noon.

The jumpers haven’t seen action in three weeks and last participated in the Wake Forest Open in WinstonSalem, N.C. Senior Sydney Cummings tied for second in the high jump, posting a personal-best leap of 1.78 meters.

Cummings is tied for third in the high jump in WVU program history.

In addition to Cummings, freshman Hannah

Stone also competed in high jump, posting a mark of 1.63 meters and tying for 10th place.

The Mountaineers, regardless of geographic location, will look to build off their success from the Stanford Invitational last weekend.

Senior Jordan Hamric broke the school record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, shattering the time by nearly nine seconds.

Her time ranks No. 9 in the country and No. 2 in the Big 12 Conference. The No. 1 spot is only two seconds faster than Hamric’s time.

“Jordan ran a great race,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “She knew she had a shot at breaking 10:20 if things went well for her.”

The previous best time, held by Sam Davis, had stood for seven years.

“Replacing one of the best female athletes in WVU history should be commended,” Cleary said.

In addition to Hamric,

other Mountaineers posted personal-best times, as well.

Junior Sarah Martinelli and senior Abby Moskal competed in the 5000-meter run and placed No. 24 and No. 31, respectively.

All-American senior Sarah-Anne Brault placed No. 26 in the 10000-meter run.

Brault’s time, which was 34:56.70, is something Cleary knows she can improve on for the future.

“I look for (Sarah) to continue her progressions and emerge from (the indoor season) with a stellar outdoor season,” Cleary said.

“She comes to practice every day, works hard, goes home and leads the lifestyle required to perform at the highest level of NCAA running.”

Final results and a recap of this weekend’s events will be posted on WVUsports. com following each day of competition. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

With the National Football League Draft quickly approaching, analysts generally focus on the quarterback position. Former West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith is projected to be the top quarterback in April’s draft and seems to be the topic of conversation for most.

Earlier this week, Pro Football Weekly’s Nolan Nawrocki grabbed national attention criticizing Smith’s character.

“Not a student of the game. Nonchalant field presence – does not command respect from teammates and cannot inspire.

Mild practice demeanor – no urgency. Not committed or focused – marginal work ethic,” Nawrocki said in his analysis of Smith.

WV U head coach Dana Holgorsen quickly debunked criticism during his weekly press conference.

“I don’t read Pro Football Weekly, but it was brought to my attention that a couple of people wanted me to comment on it,” Holgorsen said.

“You guys know how I feel about Geno ... You don’t get invited to New York for the NFL draft if you have issues.”

Smith will attend the NFL Draft April 25 at Radio City Music Hall.

Eagles Eyeing Smith at No. 4 For the second time in a month, representatives of the Philadelphia

File photo

Former WVU quarterback Geno Smith celebrates with fans following a game against Texas.

Eagles privately met with WVU Quarterback Geno Smith. In March – prior to his Pro Day – Smith privately worked out for Philadelphia head coach Chip Kelly, as well as owner Jeffery Lurie in Morgantown.

This past Wednesday, Smith was in Philadelphia to meet with Kelly.

On a conference call, ESPN senior analyst Mel Kiper Jr. was asked about the idea of Smith in Philadelphia.

“Well, it’s going to be the Geno Smith discussion,” Kiper said. “(With) a new coach, do you bring in your new quarterback with the new coach and go that route when you’re in a division with (Tony) Romo and Eli (Manning) and RG3?”

Kiper also gave his analysis on Smith.

“You have a first-round quarterback in Geno Smith. I’ve said all along – I think he’s 20 to 32, and everybody is kind of saying the same thing,” Kiper said.

“I kept asking teams, ‘Is he going to go in the first? Is he going to go...’ Yeah, he’s

going to go in the top 10.”

Austin Moving up Draft Boards Since West Virginia’s Tavon Austin ran a 4.34 official 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, his stock has risen significantly.

“He’s great kid (and is) very businesslike in his approach (and) serious about his business,” Kiper said. “You know, you think about the slot receivers – guys like Welker and Amendola and Davone Bess – they all went undrafted. This kid is going to be drafted in the top 16.”

Austin has held private workouts or meetings with the Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers and St. Louis Rams thus far.

“I think Tavon (Austin) is going to have a heck of a career,” Kiper said. “I think he’s just an electrifying, dynamic player.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
