B&E, athletics receive $3 mil gift

By Carlee Lammers City editor

Jose Sartarelli, the dean of College of Business & Economics, wants West Virginia University students to “catch the entrepreneurship bug.”

Now, thanks to a recent $3 million donation from the BrickStreet Foundation, the dean’s wish can become a reality.

Sartarelli said last week’s

gift will be able to help the College expand upon its entrepreneurship efforts – something he said is vital to the state of West Virginia.

“It gives me great pleasure to announce the BrickStreet Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship,” he said. “The naming of this center will take our efforts to a different level, because we’ll be able to do more and new things.”

Sartarelli said the gift will

help create new areas of focus within the entrepreneurship program – including energy and health care.

The gift will also benefit the College’s statewide business plan competition.

The competition enables students from across the state to develop business plans in the areas of lifestyle, hospitality and tourism. Selected winners are then given $10,000 to put their plans into action and

establish their business.

“I think the thing that makes this very special is the fact that entrepreneurship has become such an important area of scholarship in the University,” he said. “For the state of West Virginia, I think it is very important to know we are in SUBMITTED need of a gigantic creation of jobs in the state.

Morgantown Market Place to install solar advancements By caroline Peters Staff writer

Morgantown hopes its newest effort to promote sustainable practices will shine on the community in a new way with its plans to install solar panels on the roof of the Morgantown Market Place pavilion.

The solar panels will be donated by The Mountain Institute, a nonprofit organization that works to conserve mountain ecosystems throughout the world.

Downstream Strategies, an eco-friendly consulting group, and Mountain View Solar, a company that installs solar panels, helped the Mountain Institute plan the project.

“We wanted to place a solar array in Morgantown,

because it would serve as a project that would spawn other projects and hopefully lead to more community involvement,” said Aaron Sutch, energy program manager of the Appalachia Program of the Mountain Institute.

There will be a total of

12 solar panels installed with 260 watts of power per panel.

The size of the array is fairly small; however, it will be sure to save the city money. The solar panels will generate energy that Morgantown won’t have to pay a utility bill for.

“Having a solar array in Morgantown would benefit the community and will display a lot of potential for sustainable energy growth,” Sutch said. “A lot of people have misconceptions about solar

Less than a week after sweeping the West Virginia University student government elections, The Revolution has been at work preparing for the inauguration, immediately after which the members of The Revolution will take office for one year.

The Daily Athenaeum had the opportunity to sit down with President-elect Ryan Campione to talk about the election, his work and his future.

Bryan Bumgardner: So, what’s new?

Ryan Campione: I’ve been very busy. Just today, I’ve been in seven meetings.

I’m trying to get as much of a feel for the environment as I possibly can, building relationships as quickly as I can within the University so I can hit the ground running when we take office.

BB: I feel like there wasn’t even time for a honeymoon phase.

RC: (Laughter.) Ben is going back to Manchester Thursday or Friday, so we’re trying to do as much as we can while we’re both here together. The honeymoon phase can happen later.

BB: So, what has the student reaction been? What have people been saying to you?

RC: I think you were the one who asked me before if it had “hit me yet...” It’s hitting me now more and more.

I was walking through the Mountainlair today, and these two girls came up to me that I’d never seen before, and they were like “Oh, Mr. President!” I said, “No, just call me Ryan.”

(Laughter.)

I think there’s a great excitement. Nobody’s telling me I need to do this or that

yet, but there’s this great excitement, and everyone’s like “Oh, I know him; I just saw his face.”

BB: What about the governors? What have they been talking about?

RC: They’re excited. Already, a lot of them have started scheduling appointments and getting started ...

It’s funny, because the No. 1 question I’ve been getting is, “When do you take office?” They want to get moving and get working as soon as possible.

BB: One of the things I saw with them was a lot of

The African-American Arts & Heritage Academy is currently accepting applications for its Summer 2013 program.

From July 8-14, students ages 13-18 will spend the week at West Virginia University enhancing their talents in an artistic discipline of their choice.

Jacqueline Dooley, codirector of AAAHA and the WVU program director of student organizations, said she is excited for the unique opportunity found in the program.

“This program is different than most, because it gives the young students a chance to get another aspect of learning through being taught by someone of another race,” Dooley said.

The debate about the Morgantown street vendors continued Tuesday night at the Morgantown City Council meeting.

The issue first arose in a Committee of the Whole Meeting held Feb. 26 when Morgantown police Chief Ed Preston issued an assessment of the city’s sidewalk food vendors at a councilor’s request. Preston reported the sidewalk vendors contribute to pedestrian congestion on sidewalks late at night.

At the meeting, the city’s concerns seemed to have shifted from sidewalk congestion to fair business competition within the downtown area.

Ray Glymph, a 23-year old-Brooklyn, N.Y., native, came to Morgantown to pursue a degree in industrial engineering at West Virginia University. It was during his time spent studying at the University that he saw a great opportunity to thrive in what he describes as the “friendliest small business town in America.”

The young entrepreneur pursued his vision and opened his taco truck on High Street five months ago. In less than a year, the truck has become a familiar sight during evenings downtown.

However, the taco truck, along with several other street vendors located on High Street, have been defending themselves against the neighboring brick-and mortar-businesses as far back as September of 2011, when the owner of Pita Pit, Bert Manning, voiced his complaints about the establishments during a City Council meeting.

Manning said he was displeased with the lack of regulation imposed on the local street vendors and did not condone how they conduct their business in front of his restaurant. Two years later, Manning stood in front of City Council once again to reiterate his concerns. Manning said he feels the street vendors have an unfair advantage and are taking away from taxpaying Morgantown businesses.

In the past, AAAHA has drawn in students and teachers from across the state and from other regions including Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Georgia and Puerto Rico.

“Since the academy came to WVU, it has grown. The experience for these kids on a college campus acts as a recruiting tool not only for this school but to attend college,” Dooley said.

Dow surges upward, surpasses all-time high

ap

Trader Peter Tuchman smiles as he works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average closed at an all-time high Tuesday, beating the previous record it set in October 2007, before the financial crisis and Great Recession.

The Dow rose 125.95 points to 14,253.77, an increase of 0.89 percent. The index jumped from the opening bell, climbed as much as 158 points early and peaked at 14,286.

The Dow surpassed its previous record close of 14,164.53 from Oct. 9, 2007.

Tuesday’s record represents a remarkable comeback for the stock market.

The Dow has more than doubled since falling to a low of 6,547 in March 9, 2009, following the financial crisis and the onset of the Great Recession. Stocks have been

“We are excited that the panels are being installed, because it will bring more attention to the pavilion. More sustainable energy is always a plus to have at a farmers market,” said Lisa Lagana, market manager of the Morgantown Famers Market.

“The farmers market uses electricity, so it will benefit us, especially the people that bring in anything that needed to be cooled or kept in a freezer. They can just plug in their freezer and follow health regulations.”

Aside from the solar array, the project includes a new vehicle charging station.

“It’s the perfect confluence of events,” said Jim Russell, an investment director at US Bank. “This will grab everybody’s attention, it will be a front page story and it tends to draw people toward the market, not push them away from it.”

The recovery in stocks may even have been quicker had memories of the financial system’s near-collapse not been on investors’ minds, said Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners.

“It’s still pretty close to the front of people’s brains,” he said. “That’s one of the rea-

sons that people are hesitant to invest in the stock market.”

That could be changing.

More money has been flowing into stock mutual funds since the beginning of the year.

Investors who have who stayed out of the market the past four years may be deciding to get off the sidelines, Pavlik said.

The Dow opened higher Tuesday following a surge in markets around the globe.

China’s markets rose after the government said it would support ambitious growth targets. European markets jumped following a surprisingly strong rise in retail sales across the 17 countries that use the euro. In the U.S., more hopeful news about housing kept the momentum going.

Twenty-seven stocks in the 30-member Dow advanced, with industrial companies leading the gains.

Coca-Cola and Merck & Co. fell, while aluminum giant Alcoa was flat.

The Dow’s gains Tuesday were led by industrial and technology stocks. Cisco System rose 48 cents, or 2.3 percent, to $21.22 and United Technologies climbed $1.89, or 2.2 percent, to $91.02.

More stable, conservative stocks like utilities and consumer staples logged smaller gains.

All 10 industry groups in the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index rose, led by technology companies.

Billionaire Warren Buffet, who has long been bullish on stocks, gave a big endorsement to them on Monday in

an interview with CNBC. He said that he still thinks stocks are a good buy, while longterm government bonds are “the dumbest investment.”

Stocks are still a good deal because earnings have risen so much, said Darell Krasnoff, Managing Director at Bel Air investment Advisors.

Per-share earnings in 2012 were a third higher than they were in 2007 when the broader S&P 500 was this high.

“People get overly focused on benchmarks,” he said. “The fact that it’s reached that level is an interesting landmark, but it doesn’t say anything about whether the market is over-, or under-valued.”

Stocks are also attractive compared with bonds after a five-year rally in the debt market that pushed yields to

record lows.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, at 1.90 percent, is lower than the dividend yield of about 2.1 percent on the S&P 500, which measures the ratio of annual dividend payments to stock prices.

Despite the rise in the Dow, the U.S. economy has not fared as well. Unemployment was just 4.7 percent when the Dow last reached a record five and half years ago, versus 7.9 percent today.

But the economy is strengthening in many areas. Housing and auto sales are rising, home prices are recovering, and companies are hiring more. That has helped drive a 9 percent rise in the Dow this year, impressing even skeptics.

start. We did about five workshops leading up to and during the campaign, where maybe I noticed one and another individual were very close during the campaign, and I would split them up so they would work with someone else. By doing that, we built more unity. And that doesn’t apply just within how the governors know each other, but their own issues.

There’s a philosophy I love to subscribe to called “20-80 time”: spend 80 percent of your time on what you’re passionate about and what you promised and the other 20 percent exploring new areas and other avenues.

I want to continue to build this inclusion with more and more people, as we get executives and with people coming to

the meetings. I want this warm, homey feeling rather than this sterile, synthetic environment.

BB: Do you feel like that promotes something within SGA? RC: I do. One, you feel more comfortable and more willing to speak your mind, and two, if you’re comfortable, you’re more willing to come back again and continue to share your

opinion. Because, if for some reason you don’t feel like your opinion is valued, why would you come in the first place?

BB: I feel like what you’re digging at here is the most pure version of democratic government. Is that something you’ve thought about?

RC: Actually no, to be completely honest. In the sense of getting more people included, I feel that

there’s been certain people and individuals ... They believe their opinion doesn’t matter, and I’m trying to change that culture.

But I guess by taking a step back and seeing the grandiose pattern, by making everyone feel included, you really are going to the bare essence of democracy.

Glymph seemed to view the situation through a local perspective.

“What I believe in a free business society is that anyone with a good idea and ambition should be allowed to succeed,” he said. “I have

purchased from local farmers and bakeries in order to keep money circulating in Morgantown.”

Michael Shuman, who owns several properties in Morgantown including the Pita Pit building, also shared his views on the rising issue.

“There needs to be a limit on how many vendors

are downtown. One way to do that is to make the permit a lot more expensive,” he said. “If you want to do business downtown you have to be able to afford the permit.

“They shouldn’t have the rights to open up their doors right in front of Pita Pit, Jimmy Johns and Subway.

They should have some sort of distance away from another store.”

This issue is still up for debate, and no official action is scheduled to take place. Students who are advocates of the taco truck can become one of the 700 people to sign their petition and keep their business running.

Those who wish to voice his or her opinion on the subject are welcome to attend the next city council meeting.

The meetings occur on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 389 Spruce Street at 7:00 p.m.

well as access for younger audiences to entrepreneurial thought and education,” Sartarelli said.

The WVU College of Business & Economics has committed a $10,000 scholarship to the winning team of up to four students if they choose to attend B&E. Kathy D’Antoni, West Virginia Assistant State Superintendent of Schools, said the state is excited and thankful for the new opportunities the grant provided.

“West Virginia is an entrepreneurial state, and we in education need to create more opportunities for students to acquire the skill sets needed to be an entrepreneur,” she said. “This

partnership with the WVU College of Business & Economics through the BrickStreet Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship will give students across West Virginia a chance to dream and an opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skill sets.”

Sartarelli said he is grateful for the outpouring of support the College has received from various entities for its entrepreneurship program.

“In addition to this gift, since June, we have received a couple of other contributions to the same area of entrepreneurship,” he said.

“It has attracted the attention of donors wide and broad. The two others that

have contributed – one is from Tennessee one is from South Carolina.

It so happens that the most recent one, of $3 million, is from BrickStreet, which is a born and raised company of the state. Entrepreneurship, for us, is important.

“I think it’s important that we educate the sons and daughters of West Virginia to set up their own businesses and have them be successful, employ lots of people and pay lots of salaries.”

For more information on the College of Business & Economics, visit www. be.wvu.edu.

“We offer so many disciplines. We have those who are mainly focused on instrumental and bring their violins, flutes and trumpets. Then we have those who want to experience every type of discipline,” she said.

Lionel Jordan, also known as rapper 6’6 240, known for his Mountaineer Football song “Gold ‘n’ Blue,” will spend time working with the campers. “(Jordan) teaches the students the concept of thinking, feeling, putting it on paper and creating their own music,” Dooley said.

As well as working with

6’6 240 and other recognizable artists, such as WVU alumnus Ryan Frost who taught the students about African Drum and Dance in 2012, Dooley said she believes the students who attend will get to participate in activities they otherwise wouldn’t have a chance to.

“In the past, students have had the opportunity to visit the football stadium and get a tour of the brand new men’s and women’s basketball facility from the players,” Dooley said.

AAAHA has been hosted at WVU since 2001.

The academy strives

to expose its students to African-American culture through a variety of methods.

At the end of the week, the students perform what they have learned in a showcase for their peers.

“I think that students need experience and exposure in the arts and heritage of African -American culture,” Dooley said.

“Students aren’t always taught about this culture, and we’ve contributed to quite a bit of growth in the United States.”

Sutch said this installment sets Morgantown apart from many mountainous regions.

“This pavilion will actually be one of the few places in this Appalachian region that people can refuel their cars with renewable energy,” Sutch said.

The project’s completion is projected for later this month.

However, the grand opening will be taking place in early April.

Sutch said the Mountain Institute is looking for community involvement after the installment.

‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ delivers on film

collider.com

The stars of ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’ film a scene from the movie.

Laura Ciarolla A&E writer

“The Perks of Being a Wallflower� by Stephen Chbosky has been one of my favorite novels since high school.

Its beautiful prose and cutting insight stayed with me throughout the years, and when I first heard it was being made into a film, I was worried it wouldn’t translate well to the silver screen.

I was wrong.

Fans of the best-selling novel will enjoy this movie.

The tone is consistent with Chbosky’s writing, and the message remains clear.

Additionally, Logan Lerman’s performance is perfect – he couldn’t have portrayed Charlie’s character more clearly. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower� is an incredibly touching coming-of-age story that takes place during Charlie’s freshman year of high school.

In the book, the story is communicated through

Charlie’s anonymously signed letters to an unknown recipient – a person identified only as someone he heard about from his school.

The film effectively uses the letters throughout as a way for Charlie’s character to narrate.

When he begins high school, Charlie is in a very bad place, mentally.

But after befriending Patrick (Ezra Miller), a senior from his shop class, and Patrick’s stepsister Sam (Emma Watson), Charlie finally begins to feel a connection to his peers. He starts to come out of his shell with his new friends, but he still maintains his unique, naively genuine outlook on the world.

Throughout the film, we witness Charlie feel emotion much more intensely than others, and while this adds to his uncanny ability for empathy, it also holds him back. Although he thrives in his social life, unresolved pain begins to surface from his Aunt Helen’s death when he was a child, as well as

from his best friend’s more recent suicide.

Charlie’s story will connect to anyone who has every felt lonely, isolated or confused – anyone who went through high school, basically.

That said, his youthful insight is still relatable for any age group. The allure is in this boy’s uniquely beautiful – sometimes tragically so – perspective of the world and his peers.

Through this we witness the truth of human connection and the overwhelming power of friendship.

As I mentioned earlier, other than the story itself, Logan Lerman’s portrayal of Charlie is what makes this film incredible.

He perfectly captures the juxtaposition of Charlie’s anxiety and wonderment about the world, communicating his character’s deeply personal problems in a way that connects the whole audience.

Emma Watson was also a pleasant surprise as Sam, a

character I wasn’t sure she’d be able to access well with her acting. I enjoyed her performance, though, and her chemistry with Lerman worked well in the film.

Other noteworthy cast members include Kate Walsh and Dylan McDermott as Charlie’s parents, Ezra Miller as the charming and endearing Patrick, Paul Rudd as Charlie’s motivational English teacher, Mr. Anderson, Mae Whitman as Charlie’s hilariously overbearing first girlfriend, Mary Elizabeth and Melanie Lynskey as Charlie’s Aunt Helen.

If you haven’t read the book, it is certainly worth reading, and the film does a wonderful job of communicating Chbosky’s original work for a film audience.

The movie has an 85 percent fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.com, and it is currently available for rent or purchase on iTunes, Amazon and On Demand.

Carly Rae Jepsen cancels performance at Boy Scouts of America Jamboree

�

“I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level.�

Carly Rae Jepsen Pop Singer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Carly Rae Jepsen is canceling her performance at the national Boy Scouts of America Jamboree because of the organization’s exclusion of gays.

Jepsen, the Canadian pop singer best known for the inescapable hit “Call Me Maybe,� made the announcement Tuesday on Twitter. “I always have and will continue to support the LGBT community on a global level,� she wrote, “... and stay informed on the ever changing landscape in the ongoing battle for gay rights in this country and across the globe.�

Rock band Train also has taken a stand, but pursued a different tack in a post on its website Friday. The group asked the BSA to reconsider its policy rather than immedi-

ately pull out of the July gathering in West Virginia. The event, held once every four years, is expected to draw more than 45,000 scouts and adults.

Members of Train said Friday in a message on their website that they were unaware of the policy barring gay scouts and adult leaders from participating in the organization before agreeing to perform. “Train strongly opposes any kind of policy that questions the equality of any American citizen,� the statement said. “We have always seen the BSA as a great and noble organization. We look forward to participating in the Jamboree this summer, as long as they make the right decision before then.�

Fox to debut new sports network in August NEW YORK (AP) — For anyone who thinks TV is already saturated with sports of every stripe, stay tuned.

Here comes Fox with an in-your-face challenge to ESPN - a 24-hour sports cable network called Fox Sports 1, set to launch Aug. 17. “ESPN, quite frankly, is a machine,� Fox Sports executive vice president Bill Wanger said Tuesday in announcing the venture. “They have very consistent ratings, obviously huge revenue.

We’re coming in trying to take on the establishment.�

The new network will be available to 90 million homes. “We like our position,�

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said. “We have always had vigorous competi-

tion so there is really nothing substantially new here.

Others are, however, beginning to recognize what we have long known: the power of live sports, especially in light of technological advances, is substantial and brings tremendous value in today’s entertainment landscape.�

Fox has rights to college basketball and football, NASCAR, soccer and UFC for the channel. Starting in 2014, FS1 will start broadcasting Major League Baseball games. “We believe we’ve amassed enough live events and can package and put programming around it where we can have scale,�

Fox Sports co-President Randy Freer said. “We can have significance. We can

be a major player in the market.�

The Aug. 17 coverage will include a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Michigan and a UFC event in prime time.

Regis Philbin will host a weekday sports talk show for the network, which will also broadcast a nightly highlights staple to go against ESPN’s “SportsCenter.�

But live sports are what will draw viewers to the channel.

The network wasn’t ready to announce its deal with the new basketball conference formed by breakaway Big East schools, but Fox’s executives were happy to talk up the ratings draw the league will provide. “If you just put together great shows without the

rights (to live events), there’s obviously no reason for people to come to you,� co-President Eric Shanks said.

A woman smokes a cigarette while sitting in her truck in Hayneville, Ala.

W.Va. needs higher cigarette tax According to the Center for Disease Control, West Virginia has the highest smoking rate in the nation.

Experts believe the causes for this are varied, and include the fact that West Virginia’s population is relatively uneducated, tobacco use is embedded in Appalachian culture, and tobacco control policies in West Virginia are weak.

Although it would take

a long-term effort to substantially improve West Virginia’s education system or alter its culture, our legislature has thus far failed to enact tobacco control policies that are proven to reduce the smoking rate.

A recent assessment published by the National Lung Association gave West Virginia a failing grade for its tobacco control policies, including its very low cigarette tax. At 55 cents per

pack, West Virginia’s cigarette tax is the sixth lowest in the United States. A study recently published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE found that a recent increase in the cigarette tax in New York resulted in a decrease in the smoking rate in the state.

So why haven’t our lawmakers raised West Virginia’s cigarette tax, despite its proven impact of lowering smoking rates? They

certainly can’t cite lack of public support for such a measure as an excuse. A new survey conducted by the WVU School of Public Health found that an overwhelming majority of West Virginians support an increase in the cigarette tax.

None of this has swayed Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, who continues to oppose a cigarette tax hike. Unsurprisingly, when Tomblin was president of the West Vir-

ginia Senate, he accepted more money from the tobacco industry than any other member.

It’s time for our leaders to defy the tobacco industry, which is responsible for thousands of deaths in West Virginia each year, and enact tougher tobacco control policies to help discourage people from lighting up.

Euthanasia should be option for humans, too molly robinson columnist

It hasn’t been the best year for my apartmentmates – or their pets.

First, after about two and a half years of suffering, both of my bloated and floating goldfish died on the same day.

Then it was the death of one roommate’s pet rabbit, who had been going blind and could barely hop around his cage to reach his food. He was twelve when he died, just four years short of beating the Guinness Book of World Records age for the oldest rabbit on record.

And finally, there was the unforeseen death of my other roommate’s seven-year-old cat, who passed away unexpectedly, presumably from a premature heart attack.

It’s difficult to see animals, especially those considered part of the family, suffer silently through their passing. Often, pet owners remark that it was best that their pet died, if not just to end their pain.

But the really scary part about all of this is that people often say the same thing when a human dies.

While pets have the benefit of being “put down”– that is, injected with a highly concentrated barbiturate that depresses the central nervous system, resulting in a quick and painless death – humans are not afforded this same luxury.

So why is it that those afflicted with debilitating diseases of the mind and body do not have the option to put themselves down?

The concept of human euthanasia was pioneered primarily by the work of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, an American pathologist who assisted the suicides of more than 130 individuals.

Although he was ultimately tried and found guilty of second-degree

DA

The concept of assisted suicide has been up for debate for years. Officially, assisted suicide is considered legal only in Oregon, Washington, and Montana, though the patient must be fully informed of the choice and have a prognosis of six months or less left to them, as well as a written request for the lethal prescription.

Elsewhere around the world, cases for the legalization of human euthanasia have been heart-wrenching and, for the most part, unsuccessful.

People’s Daily reported that nine individuals from China requested a “mercy killing” for their uremia, a disease that results from kidney failure. After describing their unbearable suffering and their wish to unburden themselves from their families, they were told that all that could legally be done for them was to ask doctors to ease their pain.

It is easy for those of us

not accustomed to chronic pain to point out the illegality of suicide itself, much less assisted suicide with the help of a medical professional. It is much harder for us to think that our seriously ill or injured loved one is in so much pain that ending life is a preferred option.

So instead, we sit back and allow the dying process to happen, whether it be over a period of years or days after diagnosis. We allow those in their last leg of life the “dignity” of dying organically, with little more than an extra dosage of morphine to ease their passing.

However, we do not understand this amount of suffering, and we probably never will until the end of our days – and only if we are very unlucky.

But for those who live with never ending amounts of pain and still have the mental capacity left to officially request assisted suicide, mercy is routinely denied. Instead, in order to avoid the myriad of religious and political consequences of this action, an individual is left to suffer through the last days of their life instead of choosing the time and place to finally end their pain.

ap

Even though we extend this benefit to our animal friends, whose mental states are relatively unknown and who rely completely on the free will of their owners, it is telling that this same procedure, assisted not only by a doctor but requested by the patient themselves, is considered wrong.

In many ways, the influence of our supposed superiors – that is, the political and religious overseers that govern many a human moral compass – often have a way of steering us in the opposite direction of what should be an easy, kind and ethical decision to make.

Despite a little blood, line up packs 123

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Ancient Shores performs at 123 Pleasant Street Monday evening.

BY LACEY PALMER ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

A diverse line up packed 123 Pleasant Street Monday night, despite the beginning of a new week full of classes and midterms.

G oodWolf, Ancient Shores, Sleepwalker and Sweet Life each took the stage to present an evening full of a variety of music, energetic beats and strong vocals.

The evening started off with GoodWolf – the more personal, side project of Sleepwalker’s lead vocalist Tyler Grady.

With a chill, grungy vibe, Grady’s strong vocals and instrumental breaks make this side project a mustsee.

GoodWolf changes from slow tempo ballads to uptempo, energetic rock effortlessly.

Grady informed the audience that the show was also being streamed live

online, as he waved to his grandma into the camera.

After playing the last song, “This Is the Last Year We Can Act Like This,” GoodWolf left the audience on a light note with their well-written lyrics and unique mix of alternative and rock.

“GoodWolf is very much my project,” Grady said.

“John Miller, my bass player and I work together a lot because it’s obvious I need help, but GoodWolf is a lot of me.”

Ancient Shores, a Morgantown favorite, had a unique sound in comparison to the other bands Monday evening. With Greg Zalenski’s unrelenting vocals, it was immediately obvious this band would be intense and full of energy throughout the entire performance.

As the audience and the band began to headbang, things got even more in-

tense when a guitarist accidently hit Zalenski in the head with his guitar, leaving an open, bleeding gash at the top of the lead vocalist’s head.

As blood began to run down Zalenski’s cheek, he only performed more passionately as the audience roared.

“I was thinking, ‘Don’t stop and just keep going because it’ll eventually close’,” Zalenski said.

Zalenski joked about the gash to the audience at the end of the performance.

“Sorry if I bled on you, have a good night,” he said.

WVU students Chris Henry, Ty Heimerl and Amanda Horan agree that the energy brought

by Ancient Shores was invigorating.

“All of the guitar feedback reminds me of all those slasher horror films from the ‘60s,” Henry said.

“It’s just so intense, and

their energy is great.”

Zalenski agreed the concert was a success for a Monday night.

“It was amazing; always high energy,” Zalenski said. “Whenever we get together and play it’s spellbinding for me really. I love it. Great show, great line up and good turn out, too.”

After Ancient Shores high-energy performance, Sleepwalker took the stage and relaxed the atmosphere with its indie rock sound.

Sleepwalker’s unique sound takes chill, instrumental jam sessions and mixes them with high-energy, quick tempo rock segments. This combination showcases Grady’s hauntingly raspy voice as well as the skill of the drummer, Patrick Manzi, and other band members.

“Sleepwalker is a little bit more democratic, which lightens the load of

having two bands,” Grady said. “We all have a lot of band experience, and we use what we know to work together.”

Sleepwalker featured two new songs; the first with a slower tempo accompanied by heavy lyrics and vocals followed by a up-tempo rock song that was impossible not to move to.

“For a Monday, it was like it was a Friday – it was awesome,” Grady said.

“Very exciting, especially the line up.”

A deep, dark song based on “King of the Hill,” according to Grady, was played to end Sleepwalker’s set.

Sweet Life took the stage late in the evening but brought with them incredible amounts of energy as well as a sheet displaying their name and a marijuana leaf. Playing songs from their “Disenchanted”

EP, this stoner punk band possesses rich rock ‘n’ roll qualities with intense vocals, as well.

The rough, raspy vocals mixed with the quick tempo and heavy beat Sweet Life brings got the crowd moving.

The band finished the set with such excitement, and it radiated through the audience ending the show on an energetic note and leaving those in attendance glad they pushed aside any responsibilities Monday night.

Attendee James Braswell believed the line up for the show was outstanding.

“All of the bands that played tonight are solid headliners most of the time they play,” Braswell said. “They just happen to be playing here together tonight, and it was a great show.” lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

‘People, Hell & Angels,’ last album of Jimi Hendrix material, released NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Jimi Hendrix recorded everything. More than 40 years after his death, though, the tape is finally running out.

“People, Hell & Angels,” out Tuesday, will be the last album of Hendrix’s unreleased studio material, according to Eddie Kramer, the engineer who recorded most of Hendrix’s music during his brief but spectacular career. That ends a four-decade run of posthumous releases by an artist whose legacy remains as vital and vibrant now as it was at the time of his death.

“Jimi utilized the studio as a rehearal space,” Kramer said. “That’s kind of an expensive way of doing things, but thank God he did.”

The 12 tracks on “People, Hell & Angels” were recorded in 1968-69 after the Jimi Hendrix Experience disbanded. There’s a changeable roster of backing musicians, including Buddy Miles and Billy Cox, who would briefly become Hendrix’s Band of Gypsies.

Stephen Stills, recently of Buffalo Springfield, even popped up on bass on one track.

It was a difficult period for Hendrix as his business and creative endeavors became entangled, and he retreated to the studio to seek inspiration.

“Jimi used that time in the studio to experiment, to jam, to rehearse, and using this jam-rehearsal style of recording enabled him to try different musicians of different stripes and backgrounds, because they offered a musical challenge to him,” Kramer said. “He wanted to hear music expressed with different guys

who could lend a different approach to it. And as part of this whole learning curve, what emerged was this band that played at Woodstock in ‘69, that little concert on the hill there.”

Many of the songs have been heard in different versions or forms before, but the music here is funkier than his best known work – at times sinuous, at times raucous. Horns pop up here and there. He’s a cosmic philosopher riding an earthbound backbeat on “Somewhere.” He’s a groovin’ bluesman enveloped in a bit of that purple haze on “Hear My Train a Comin’.” He challenges a saxophone to a fist fight on “Let Me Move You.” Then he channels James Brown on “Mojo Man” and ends the album as if shutting down an empty cinder-block club on a lonely stretch of dark highway with “Villanova Junction Blues.”

Hendrix died not long after making the last of these recordings. He’d already disbanded the players and was working with the Experience again in 1970 when he died of asphyxia in September 1970 at 27.

The last of the studio albums was timed for the year he would have turned 70. But in the 43 years that have passed since his death, he’s remained a fixture in American popular culture in much the same way Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash have endured. Still a radio staple, his image and music pops up often in commercials. There’s a biopic on the way with Andre Benjamin tackling the lead role. Even his out-there sense of fashion remains relevant.

Driving that image is

the continued importance of his music, inspiring entranced young guitarists to attack his work in an endless loop of rediscovery over the decades. Tastes and sounds may change, but Hendrix always remains close at hand.

Maybe it’s because he was so far ahead of his time, we still haven’t caught up.

“He was a psychedelic warrior,” said Luther Dickinson, Grammy-nominated singer-guitar of the North Mississippi Allstars. “He was one of those forces that pushed evolution. He was kicking the doors down. He was forcing the future into our ears.”

For Dickinson and his brother Cody, it was Hendrix’s post-apocalyptic psych-rock epic “1983 ... (A Merman I Should Turn to Be)” that blew their minds.

But he means different things to different musicians. He played the chitlin circuit in the South before being discovered as a rocker in Europe and his music was also steeped in the blues, R&B and jazz.

“As a songwriter, he had the thing like Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top) and a few current guys like Dan Auerbach or Jack White,” Dickinson said. “They have the ability to take a near-cliche blues guitar lick and turn it into a pop hook. Hendrix had that. That was one aspect. Also, he wrote some of the most beautiful guitar melodies. His ballads, there’s nothing to compare them to. Obviously he learned a lot from Curtis Mayfield and R&B music, but he took it so much farther.”

It’s that soulful side that first inspired Michael Ki-

He first saw Hendrix in a documentary that was paired back to back with his performance at Woodstock. Kiwanuka was 12 and new to the guitar. He experienced a lot of sensations at once. First, there was the music. He wasn’t drawn to the rip-roaring psychedelia the Dickinsons favored, but the R&B-flavored classics like “Castles Made of Sand” and “The Wind Cries Mary.”

The child of Ugandan im-

migrants also was amazed

by Hendrix’s natural hairstyle, which closely resembled his own.

“I’d never seen an African-American, a guy of African descent, playing rock music,” Kiwanuka said. “I was listening to bands like Nirvana and stuff at the time. That’s what got me into rock music – the electric guitar. Every time I saw a modern black musician it was like R&B, so I’d never seen someone play electric guitar in a rock way that was African. That inspired me as well on top of the music.

And you think, `Oh, I could do that.’”

“People, Hell & Angels”

will likely continue that cycle of discovery. And though it may be the last of studio album, it won’t be the last we hear from Hendrix.

“This is the last studio album, but what’s coming up is the fact that we have tremendous amount of live recorded concerts in the vault,” Kramer said. “A lot of them were filmed, too, so be prepared in the next few years to see some fabulous live performances, one of which I’ve already mixed. We’re waiting for the release date – God knows when – but at some point in the future there’s a ton of great live material.”

Junior guard Taylor Palmer scored 14 points in West Virginia’s loss to Texas Tuesday night.

Texas pulls away in second half of 58-45 victory against West Virginia by cody schuler managing editor

The West Virginia women’s basketball team’s search for a tenth Big 12 Conference win fell short Tuesday after the hosting Texas Longhorns dominated the glass and captured a 58-45 win.

The Mountaineers (1712, 9-9) were outrebounded 43-25 and failed to establish any firm rhythm offensively to overcome the massive rebounding deficit.

For the game, West Virginia connected on 31.6 percent of field goal tries

and only 25 percent from beyond the 3-point line.

Junior guard Taylor Palmer paced the Mountaineers’ offensive attack, finishing with 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting from the field. Redshirt junior guard Christal Caldwell chipped in with 10 points and was the only other West Virginia player to finish with doubledigit scoring.

Texas placed three players in double-digits and was powered behind sophomore forward Nneka Enemkpali’s game-high 16 points and 15 rebounds. Freshman guard Empress Davenport

and junior guard Chassidy Fussell each added 15 and 12 points, respectively.

The Longhorns held a slim 24-20 advantage heading into the intermission despite turning the ball over 15 times. West Virginia got a hot start from Palmer, who scored eight of her 14 points in the first frame.

The Mountaineers shot an icy 2 of 11 from deep, but Texas didn’t capitalize from beyond the arc either, missing its only 3-point attempt of the first half.

In the second half, Texas distanced itself from West Virginia and would ulti-

mately outscore the Mountaineers 34-25. Texas shot nearly 50 percent from the field in the second half and got 19 points off the bench compared to 3 for West Virginia.

After two minutes of play in the second half, redshirt senior Ayana Dunning converted on a layup and tied the game at 25-25.

Dunning, the team’s leading rebounder, was limited to just two rebounds and eight points for the contest.

Both teams would trade baskets for the next several minutes, but ultimately, Texas put on a run that

would distance themselves from the Mountaineers and put the game out of reach.

Between the 12-minute and eight-minute mark, the Longhorns put on a 12-2 run, resulting in a 50-38 advantage that proved to be the difference in the game.

This was the third meeting between the two teams and the first victory in the series for Texas. West Virginia defeated the Longhorns Jan. 2 at the Coliseum and also in the first round of last season’s NCAA tournament.

Next up for the Mountaineers is the Big 12 Con-

ference tournament, which will be held at American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas. West Virginia will finish in the top-six of the Conference standings, which results in a firstround bye of the Conference tournament.

The Longhorns have now won two consecutive games, and West Virginia will enter the Conference tournament on a two-game slide.

The Big 12 Conference tournament will begin Friday and last through Monday. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

WVU crowd created memorable atmosphere against No. 1 Baylor AMIT batra sports writer

As another regular home season came to its end Saturday night, the opportunity to play No. 1 Baylor and senior national player of the year Brittney Griner was one great way to go out.

A record-setting 13,447 fans packed the Coliseum for WVU’s last home game and second-to-last game of the season. Senior center Ayana Dunning was honored prior to the game for her contributions to West Virginia’s program.

The atmosphere was absolutely electric and memorable. Personally, I’ve never seen a women’s game as anticipated as Baylor. Mountaineer fans – give yourselves a round of applause, because the good crowd just added to the experience.

“Fantastic crowd. I want to thank everybody for coming,” said head coach Mike Carey following the game. “I’m a little embarrassed we didn’t play better.”

While the Mountaineers did fall short in their attempt at a monumental upset, WVU got within single digits of the most stacked rosters I’ve ever

come across in the second half. Griner’s triple-double was obviously an integral part of the victory, but Baylor was just too balanced from top to bottom for the upset bid to occur.

For West Virginia, the experience to play in this type of game will only help the program. Future bouts in the Big 12 Conference may not feature a 6-foot-8 center like this affair, but the conference does produce quality teams year in and year out.

Seeing Griner live for the first time in person is obviously a reason for this game to be memorable despite the final result, but if outings turn out to have this type of turnout next season, WVU women’s basketball will get more recognition nationally.

Some Big 12 schools draw nearly 10,000-12,000 fans per contest. For West Virginia, it hasn’t been quite like it was Saturday night, and that’s no secret.

Those types of environments are healthy for the conference, West Virginia and women’s collegiate basketball.

At the end of the day, it just adds on to the experience. Making the Coliseum a more difficult venue for opponents is the ultimate goal for Carey and company.

This past weekend re-

porters, members of the media, Baylor supporters/visitors and West Virginia fans all experienced something special. The best teams in women’s collegiate basketball usually don’t go as high as 13,447 so, this was a memorable experience people can truly feel honored to be a part of.

It felt like WVU football was taking on an LSU from last year or the Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team of this season. Those were moments you will cherish; not only because those are top five teams but because they are the moments you feel honored to have witnessed.

Even though the home schedule is officially over, West Virginia women’s basketball continues to go for higher goals this season with the last regularseason game on the road at Texas before the postseason begins with the Big 12 tournament in Dallas and the NCAA tournament following that.

So, continue to support this team as it remains hopeful for bigger successes this year.

Until next year, it’s been a good ride at the Coliseum. Don’t forget to come back and join us next season.

WVU takes down Eastern Kentucky in home opener

by Kevin Hooker sports writer

Yesterday’s matinee was just one of seven games the Mountaineers will play in Morgantown, as the vast majority of their home games will be in Charleston, W.Va. West Virginia started slowly, but was able to hold off a late rally while defeating Eastern Kentucky 2-1.

“Things haven’t been going our way lately,” said West Virginia head coach Randy Mazey. “But we made big pitches at the end of the game, and fortunately, we got a win.”

The game was originally slated for a 3 p.m. start but was pushed up to 1:30 p.m. at the last minute because of potentially hazardous weather on the way.

“Had we played at 3 p.m. and had a better crowd, maybe we would’ve come out with more energy,” Mazey said. “It was a lazy day all around.”

The Mountaineers’ only runs came in the third inning, when designated hitter Matt Frazer hit a tworun, two-out home run to center field.

“We struggled a little bit at the plate,” Frazer said.

“But it felt great not to wake up, get on a bus and (play on the road).”

Frazer’s home run was just one of the Mountaineers’ six hits on the day.

Left fielder Jacob Rice, who had the third-best batting percentage in the Big 12 Conference prior to yesterday’s game, went 0-4 from the plate with one strikeout.

Freshman pitcher Ryan Hostrander got the win for the Mountaineers, while Pascal Paul picked up the

“We’re trying to teach these guys is to not get caught up in results,” Mazey said. “If you just worry about the process, the results will eventually come.”

Although it’s still early in the season, Frazer and the Mountaineers are confi-

dent about the future. Conference play starts in less than two weeks.

“I feel like we’re getting into the swing of things real quickly,” Frazer said. “We lost some heartbreakers earlier this year, but sooner or later those games will turn in our favor.”

The Mountaineers’ overall record improves to 5-6, and the four teams they play this weekend have a

combined record of 16-24.

“This weekend’s huge,” Frazer said. “We have four big games, and then we have Pitt before going down to Kansas for conference play.”

The Mountaineers won’t return to Morgantown until March 28, when they take on the University of New Orleans. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

In their first 10 games of the season, the WVU pitching staff had given up a grand total of 53 runs, an average of 5.3 runs per game.

That average dropped drastically Tuesday as the Mountaineers used solid pitching performances from Zach Bargeron, Ryan Hostrander, Ryan Tezak and Pascal Paul to grab a 2-1 victory in their home opener at Hawley Field against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels.

Several defensive plays contributed to the win for the Mountaineers, as well, including an impressive throw from left fielder Jacob Rice to first baseman Ryan McBroom to catch EKU’s Bryan Soloman napping off the bag after a lead-off single in the sixth inning.

The play allowed Ryan

Randy Mazey and the Mountaineers some quality innings in relief.

“It’s always good to come out and throw the ball in the zone and attack guys,” Tezak said.

Attack he did, as the right-hander needed only 32 pitches to get through 2.1 innings, allowing only one hit.

Tezak didn’t register a single strikeout, allowing the defense behind him to make plays to preserve the lead.

“When you have games where you walk guys or you give up a bunch of hits, you kind of just have to go back to basics,” Tezak said. “I think coach Matlock’s been good with telling us to stick to the little things, and everything will come through for us, so I think that happened today.”

pitching staff has started to put it all together as Big 12 play draws near.

“We made big pitches at the end of the game, and fortunately we got a win,” Mazey said.

“We’ve been pitching pretty good, really. If we just throw strikes, we’ve got a pretty good defense behind them (the pitchers). The only times we got in trouble today was when we walked guys,” Mazey said.

On all but one occasion, the staff was able to work around those walks and keep Eastern Kentucky from bringing runners home.

As a result of the win, the Mountaineers record rises to 5-6, as they head to Punta Gorda, Fla., for four games with Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Maine and Iowa this weekend.

Hostrander to get out of the inning unscathed for the Mountaineers. Hostrander eventually earned the win after working 1.1 innings, scattering two hits.

Hostrander came in for starter Zach Bargeron, who sailed through the first four innings, but ran into some trouble in the fifth and was taken out with runners on first and second with two outs.

Following an RBI single by pinch hitter Doug Teegarden, Hostrander induced a 1-5-3 groundout to end the inning.

Shaun Ball scorched the ball off the glove of Hostrander, but third baseman Ryan Tuntland alertly made a barehanded play and threw out Ball at first.

While Bargeron and Hostrander did solid work to start the game, junior Ryan Tezak came out of the bullpen and gave coach

West Virginia to face OU Mitchell excited to work for third time this season with Mountaineer corners by michael carvelli sports editor

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins barks out signals earlier this season.

One of the more pleasant surprises in college basketball this season has been the success of Oklahoma.

The Sooners – who were picked to finish seventh in the Big 12 Conference and behind West Virginia – have won five of their last seven games and currently sit at 19-9 overall.

With only two losses at home, Oklahoma (19-9, 10-6) will be a heavy favorite Wednesday night when West Virginia (13-16, 6-10) brings a four-game losing streak to the Lloyd Noble Center.

The Mountaineers have had their worst season in nearly a decade and haven’t been able to mesh on the floor.

“We didn’t get the impact we were hoping we’d get from the transfers. Obviously, things have happened. Matt Humphrey had his surgery two weeks before practice starts, and he wasn’t here over the summer, (and) that certainly has an effect,” said West Virginia head coach

Bob Huggins. “The bottom line is we all need to do a better job, me included – or me more than anybody else. We’ve just got to do a better job.”

The three transfers – junior Aaric Murray, sophomore Juwan Staten and Humphrey – combined are averaging less than 20 minutes again.

It’s not just the transfers Huggins expected more out of this season.

“I mean, I don’t try to say this as a negative, but when you look at our sophomores, they’ve all shot it 10 to 12 percentage points lower than what they shot it as freshmen,” Huggins said.

The Sooners and Mountaineers have already met twice this season, with OU winning both matchups – the first, a 77-70 win in the Old Spice Classic, and the other, a 67-57 win in Morgantown, one which WVU led by as many as 12 points in the second half.

In fact, West Virginia has had the lead late in games often this season. It’s the ability to play an entire 40 minutes and close out a win that has been an issue.

“I think you’ve seen we’re prepared when the game starts,” Huggins said.

“We’ve started pretty well in virtually every game here of late. Our problem comes when they do different things and make some adjustments. As I’ve alluded to all year, we don’t adjust when other people adjust. That part of it has, I think, been difficult for us.”

With only two games remaining, The Mountaineers have already secured a regular season losing record. The NCAA tournament, the NIT or any form of postseason play seem like a stretch at this point.

The ball just didn’t seem to bounce their way this season, which Huggins admits is sometimes out of his control.

“You’ve got to have a bit of luck,” Huggins said.

“Maybe luck isn’t the right way – maybe fortune.

You’ve got to get some things to fall the right way for you.

The Sooners and Mountaineers will tipoff Wednesday at 9 p.m. on ESPN2. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

Brian Mitchell is used to facing challenges head on.

When he took over as East Carolina’s cornerbacks coach in 2010, he inherited a group that finished No. 107 in pass defense. By the end of the 2011 season, the Pirates had climbed up to No. 33 nationally – allowing just 202 yards per game through the air.

Now the newly hired cornerbacks coach is looking to do something similar with the West Virginia secondary starting this season.

“I was in this situation three years ago,” Mitchell said. “It’s a process. It’s not going to be built overnight.

I’d like to see them build it through spring, then I’d like to see improvement through the summer, and I’d like to see improvement through fall camp.”

But before he was able to start working on getting the secondary back where he believes it can be, he had to get to know the people he would be working with first.

Since he got to Morgantown more than five weeks ago, Mitchell said there hasn’t been a day when at least a couple of Mountaineer corners haven’t stopped by his office to talk to him.

Whether it’s about football, classes or anything else they might need, Mitchell has made it clear to his players he’ll always be there to listen to them when they have something to talk about.

“You’ve got to develop a relationship with these kids,” he said. “There has to be a care factor in there, and if they trust you and they care about you, they’ll do more for you. When it’s time to ask for a little bit more, they’ll give you a little bit more.”

And there are plenty of young and inexperienced players Mitchell expects to seek out advice throughout the season. Of the 11 cor-

Senior cornerback Brodrick Jenkins started seven games last season for WVU. nerbacks currently listed on West Virginia’s roster, eight of them are either freshmen or sophomores.

But even though they are young, the WVU corners were able to get some valuable time playing in games last season. Senior Brodrick Jenkins, junior Ishmael Banks and sophomores Terrell Chestnut and Nana Kyeremeh all started games in the secondary, while sophomore Ricky Rumph didn’t start any games but played in nine of the Mountaineers’ 13 games last season.

“I see the potential I need to see,” Mitchell said. “Everyone’s got a chance. If there are eight corners out there, everyone will have an opportunity to show what they can do.

“They received valuable experience that – whether good or bad – those kids have something to pull from ... They have valuable experience that you can only get in game situations.”

One thing the former NFL cornerback has seen from his group is they aren’t happy with their performances last season. He can see they want to be better.

“They want to be good.

All these kids were highlyrecruited kids, so they were the captains of their teams, they were the superstars of their teams. They’re used to success,” Mitchell said. “It’s a work in progress and they have to understand that.

You’re not going to gain total success overnight.

“Over time the positives will outweigh the negatives.”

After graduating from Brigham Young, Mitchell went on to play three years in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons after being selected in the seventh round of the 1991 NFL draft.

He can tell that his cornerbacks group wants to get better; they’re willing to listen to what he has to say.

Now all he has to do is coach them up.

“I’m excited about these kids,” he said. “There’s nothing that those kids are going to go through that I haven’t gone through before.

“I’m going to do my best to wake up every morning and say, ‘What can I do to improve the Mountaineers?’ Every day. That’s my only goal.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu
