Student wins NSF fellowship by madison fleck staff writer

Emily Lipscomb, a senior civil and environmental engineering student at West Virginia University, has been awarded the 2013 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. The program recognizes outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engi-

neering and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited U.S. institutions. “I first became interested in the fellowship when Dr. Jennifer Weidhaas encouraged me to apply,” Lipscomb said. Weidhaas, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at WVU, is also the faculty advisor for the American

Society of Civil Engineers. She and Lipscomb first met in 2011 when Lipscomb was an officer in the student American Society of Civil Engineers. “I think she was impressed with me after that, and she asked me to do a summer undergraduate research fellowship with her,” Lipscomb said. After working together for two semesters, Weidhaas encouraged Lip-

scomb to apply for the NSF fellowship. “Emily is one of the brightest students that I’ve worked with,” Weidhaas said. “She was just an excellent candidate for the fellowship, and sure enough, she was awarded it.” Lipscomb will be awarded $30,000 for three of the five years it will take her to complete her graduate program. The money can go toward her tuition or

her research, and while she is still weighing her options, Lipscomb has a good idea of the kind of research she wants to do. “One of the things I’m really interested in possibly working on is antibiotic resistance genes and how they act as pollutants in the environment,” she said. “We all use antibiotics, and you’ll flush extra prescription drugs that eventually end up in the sewers.

Christian Help is hosting its third annual Prom Chic Boutique to help provide all the formal attire needed for teens to go to prom.

Do you have what it takes to be a wild warrior? The West Virginia University Army ROTC will host the second annual Wild Warrior Challenge to discover who is tough enough. “It’s a 5k adventure, obstacle race,” said Sergeant John Feiler, battalion Commander and professor of military science at WVU. “It’s kind of similar to the Tough Mudder or Spartan Race, although it’s not quite that intense.” Feiler said the course will be built at Mylan Park – where the race will take place – exclusively by WVU Army ROTC cadets. Racers will pay a $25 entrance fee; however, 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward local veteran organizations in the community, something Feiler said sets the race apart from others. “It’s something that gives directly back to the veterans

organizations here in the immediate area,” he said. “That’s kind of what’s unique about are race versus some of the others, all those are very strictly run for profit.” Last year the race donated more than $4,000 for veterans in the community. Feiler said this year he hopes to raise the bar even higher. This year proceeds will benefit Military Family Readiness Groups of Monongalia and Preston counties and Operation Welcome Home. “Our target goal is 300 participants. I expect we will meet and exceed that,” Feiler said. “Operation Welcome Home is a veterans assistance place. They provide a get-away essentially for local veterans, whether it be to meet with counselors, to hang out, to hold meetings or have a quite place to study... Then the other half will go to the Family

WVU Anime Club offers entertainment, camaraderie

By Shelby Toompas In the heart of a college town, Christian Help, a nondenominational and nonprofit organization, is holding its third annual Prom Chic Boutique to provide the formal attire needed for a memorable night. Since 1975, the United Way agency has been helping others through services such as the free store, career closet, food pantry, financial systems and more, but now that prom night comes at a higher cost, Christian Help is doing everything it can to make dreams come true. “Our Prom Chic Boutique has been a huge success in previous years,” said Stephanie Shepard, Career Closet coordinator and Boutique organizer at Christian Help. “We have gently used and brand new, designer dresses, as well as shoes, jewelry and everything and anything girls need for prom.” Shepard said the majority of dresses donated are from Coni & Franc located on High Street and Classic Bridal on University Avenue, as well as a few individual contributors. “This is my first year organizing the boutique, but I have heard stories and seen pictures from years previous, and seeing how great of a success it was in previous years made me really excited to coordinate it this year,” she said. “By holding this event, girls are welcome to find a dress, wear it to prom and keep it or donate it back for next year’s boutique.” Even though the event is primarily for girls to find the perfect dress, there is also

When Brad Lavender returned to West Virginia University as a nontraditional student in 2010, his love of Japanese culture led him to search for an on-campus Anime Club. After finding none, he decided to launch one of his own. Now, more than two years later, the WVU Anime and Manga Club has more than a dozen consistent members. Anime is the term for Japanese animation and ranges from animated television series to full-length feature films and has as many genres as live-action. Some are based on books and some on manga, which is a comic equivalent of Anime. Many series that are licensed for the U.S. have a dubbed voice track with English-speaking voices, but all U.S.-licensed series have English subtitles. President Brad Lavender said because many of the club’s members are familiar with more popular shows,

the club tends to show less popular shows during their meetings. “As a way to broaden our horizons, we tend to watch things from mid-popular down to obscure,” Lavender said. “For the big stuff, if you want to see it, you can stream it online, or you may have a friend who has it. But on movie nights, anything goes.” Vice President Kekoa Taitt said WVU Anime Club is a place where people with a unique but common hobby can come together. “You don’t see many people with a hobby like Anime; its very rare to find people like that,” Taitt said. “So when I saw there were people like me in this club, I decided to come to a meeting.” Taitt said he plans to keep the club alive and growing next year. “I want to keep this going next year, because a lot of people want a way and a place to express their enjoyment of Anime – it’s more fun than watching alone,”

Obama says he’s ‘determined as ever’ for gun bill

President Barack Obama looks at Nicole Hockley and her husband Ian, right, after she introduced him at the University of Hartford in Hartford, Conn., Monday. HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he’s “determined as ever” to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama’s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Republicans over expanding required federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conservatives were promising to try blocking the Senate from even beginning debate on gun control legislation. “The day Newtown happened was the toughest day of my presidency,” Obama said in an emotional speech from Connecticut’s capital, an hour’s drive from Newtown. “But I’ve got to tell you, if we don’t respond to this, that’ll be a tough day for me too.” Some of the Sandy Hook families are making an attempt to push through the bill. Obama met with them privately before his speech at the University of Hartford Monday evening, then brought 12 family mem-

The relatives want to meet with senators who’ve yet to back the legislation to encourage their support in memory of their loved ones. “Nothing’s going to be more important in making sure that the Congress moves forward this week than hearing from them,” Obama said. His eyes teared as he described Nicole Hockley, who lost her 6-year-old son, Dylan, saying how she asks him every night to come to her in her dreams so she can see him again. “If there’s even one thing we can do to prevent a father from having to bury his child, isn’t that worth fighting for?” Obama asked. Obama’s speech was interrupted repeatedly by standing ovations from the packed gymnasium. At one point, the room erupted with chants of “We want a vote!” Audience members, many wearing green ribbons in support of the victims, were stomping their feet on the bleachers and clapping their hands in unison with the chant. “This is not about me. This is not about politics. This is about doing the right thing for all the families who are here who have been torn apart by gun violence,” Obama said, his voice rising with emotion as he shook comes to Lipscomb’s future. “I’m really happy that Emily was awarded this fellowship because we don’t have enough women in engineering,” she said. “I know that she will really take advantage of this opportunity and make the best of it.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

his finger in the air. Obama argued that lawmakers have an obligation to the children killed and other victims of gun violence to allow an up-or-down vote in the Senate. That would require 50 votes to pass, rather than a procedural maneuver some Republican senators are threatening to require 60 votes, potentially sinking the legislation. “Some back in Washington are already floating the idea that they may use political stunts to prevent votes on any of these reforms. Think about that. They’re not just saying they’ll vote no on ideas that almost all Americans support. They’re saying they’ll do everything they can to even prevent any votes on these provisions. They’re saying your opinion doesn’t matter. And that’s not right. Obama rode to the speech with Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who signed sweeping gun control legislation into law Thursday with the Sandy Hook families standing behind him. But legislation in Washington faces a tougher challenge, as the nation’s memories of the shooting fade with time and the National Rifle Association wages a formidable campaign against Obama’s proposals. Majority Leader Harry Reid brought gun control legislation to the Senate

floor on Monday, though actual debate did not begin. He took the step after receiving a letter from 13 conservative Republican senators including Sen. Mike Lee, RUtah, saying they would use delaying tactics to try preventing lawmakers from beginning to consider the measure. Such a move takes 60 votes to overcome, a difficult hurdle in the 100-member chamber. The conservatives said the Democratic measure would violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms, citing “history’s lesson that government cannot be in all places at all times, and history’s warning about the oppression of a government that tries.” Further underscoring the tough road ahead for the Obama-backed legislation, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that the Kentucky Republican would join the filibuster if Reid tries to bring the measure to the floor. Obama said the vote shouldn’t be about his legacy, but about the families in Newtown who haven’t moved on to other matters. “Newtown, we want you to know that we’re here with you,” Obama said. “We will not walk away from the promises we’ve made. We are as determined as ever to do what must be done.

In fact, I’m here to ask you to help me show that we can get it done. We’re not forgetting.” A group of Sandy Hook families originally planned to travel to Washington earlier on Monday, but the White House offered to give the families a ride so they could also attend Obama’s speech before their lobbying push. The White House lit up the steps of Air Force One with flood lights so photographers and television cameras could capture the image of Obama climbing the plane’s steps with the families at dusk. Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose 6-year-old daughter Ana was among the victims at Sandy Hook, held up a sign that said “Love Wins” as she walked toward the steps of Air Force One. The families’ lobbying trip was organized by Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit started by community members in the wake of the shooting. “The group is encouraging senators to come together around legislative proposals that will both save lives and respect the Second Amendment rights of lawabiding Americans,” the group said in a statement. With time running out on negotiations, the White House is making an allhands-on-deck push this week. Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney Gen-

eral Eric Holder planned to promote their plan at the White House on Tuesday with law enforcement officials. First lady Michelle Obama planned to wade into the debate Wednesday with a speech on youth violence in her hometown of Chicago. And on Thursday, Biden was taking part in a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with people who have different views on gun control. Organizing for Action, the grassroots group being formed out of Obama’s reelection campaign to support his agenda, said it was launching online ads Monday asking the public to urge their senators to support background checks. The ads will target 11 senators – all Republicans – through Facebook and search engines. An OFA spokesman said the group was not disclosing the cost of the ad campaign. Gun control is divisive in Newtown, Conn., as in the rest of the country. Not all Sandy Hook families support gun control, and even those involved with the lobbying push organized by Sandy Hook Promise are not backing the assault weapons ban. But those families are asking lawmakers to expand background checks, increase penalties for gun trafficking and limit the size of magazines.

“Anime is a hobby that in the past I had enjoyed independently, but like with anything else, you kind of want to have a community of people you can share it with,” Burns said. “If you’re watching a comedy you get to hear everyone else laugh – it’s a really fun and ca-

sual atmosphere. There are plenty of people that would probably judge us for having this hobby, but in here there is no judgment.” The WVU Anime Club meets each Monday at 6:30 p.m. in room 225 of Brooks Hall. Next Wednesday the club will host a movie night

community, and he is excited for the opportunity to give back. “When you look at the population of just West Virginia University itself, there’s over 500 student veterans here. Then in the surrounding community, the state of West Virginia always by nature has always been very much in pro support of its military and veterans,” he said. “It’s organizations like these that help veterans get

It was really enjoyable last year. I worked extensively on it , and I kind of took it from a bunch of stuff that was paper and turned it into something that became a reality,” he said. “The intent of the race is really to get the local community in-

Coni & Franc offers everything from sports wear, shoes and accessories, career and interview clothing, regular and cocktail dresses, everyday wear, evening wear, beauty pageants, homecoming, prom,

bridal dresses and much more, and they have supported the Prom Boutique each year. “Christian Help does a wonderful service for those young ladies whose families cannot afford to purchase a dress,” Merandi said. “This is one of those places where they can get a great dress, be able to go to the dance in something appropriate and have all the accessories they need.” Coni & Franc donates dresses and items that are of good quality but might have been either discontinued or been ready to mark down, to enhance the selection that they can offer. “Everyone at the Christian Help is lovely. They are there to help, nurture

and give confidence so that these girls can go have a great experience at their prom,” she said. “These people have a pure heart, and they are there to serve the community, and this is just one way they can give ladies the opportunities to go to prom in style.” Christian Help will also have limited gift certificates available for boutonnieres and corsages as well as for hair and makeup. “Every girl deserves to feel like a princess at her prom, regardless of background,” Shepard said.

123 Pleasant Street hosts night of metal mayhem

Patrick Gorrell/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Solomon’s Key plays to a rowdy crowd at 123 Pleasant Street Sunday night.

Josh ewers A&E writer

Sunday’s brutalitypacked lineup went off without a hitch at 123 Pleasant Street. Featuring metal outfits Reanimator, Disillusion Effect, Solomon’s Key and Irukandji, the show aimed to please metalheads of all shapes and sizes, and it certainly achieved that goal. The evening’s main event, headliners Irukandji, introduced themselves to a

whole new audience, as this was their first time playing in West Virginia, let alone Morgantown or 123. The Pennsylvania natives put on a high-quality performance that displayed their technical skill and their passion for all things heavy. Their first impression treated them well; they expressed an admiration for Morgantown’s musical climate. “It’s nicer than it is at home; the crowd reaction was about the same, but it seems like there’s a better scene down here,” said

drummer Jagger Bush John. With influences like Job For a Cowboy and The Black Dahlia Murder, the band deployed their furious brand of death metal to an eager and energized crowd. Vocalist Josh Hogue dominated the stage with enough movement and hand gestures to match the band’s uber-spastic sound. With his unique phrasing of harsh vocals, Hogue added an extra dimension to the mix. Underneath his blood curdling shrieks, the instrumental corps displayed great technical proficiency while laying down

riff after menacingly good riff and a truckload of blast beats. In addition bassist Josh Wade showed uncommon mastery of his instrument, as his fingers moved back and forth every bit as deftly as any guitarist. Drummer Jagger Bush John also puts on a hell of a show from behind his kit, flipping his sticks around with all the frequency of a caffeinated Tommy Lee, while playing music with twice the required skill level. The band put on this high-caliber performance

despite playing to a miniature Sunday-night crowd. They later explained that they don’t change their approach based on audience size. “We act asinine whatever we do; that’s the foundation of Irukandji right there,” Hogue said. “We like to have to have a good time.” Undoubtedly a result of excellent performances like this one, the band is on their way up the metal ladder with more than 1,000 Facebook likes and new material on the way produced by the drummer of popular death core act Belie My Burial.

“We’re hoping to have a full-length [album] together by the end of this year,” Wade said. “We have about six or seven [new] songs put together.” Irukandji plans to do more West Virginia shows in the future, so check them out next time they’re in town. They’ve got the chops and the ambition to move up from the underground. “I’d say the sky is the limit, but I don’t want to set my goals too low,” Wade said. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Stone Sour surpasses previous work with latest release josh ewers a&e writer

Few bands carry the tattered banner of quality, wellthought, radio-friendly hard rock in today’s musical climate; even fewer bands do so with as much talent and success as Stone Sour has during the course of the band’s 11-year existence. Originally formed in 1992, disbanded, and then reformed to their current state as a side project by Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor, the group has evolved to the point where some say that the newest Slipknot reminds them of Stone Sour, rather than the opposite. Undeniably, Stone Sour are aiming for their new-

est work, the double album “House of Gold & Bones,” to stand as the band’s magnum opus of sorts. This kind of lofty expectation is evidenced through Taylor’s description of the totality of the two albums as being like Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” meets Alice in Chains’ “Dirt.” If Taylor aimed any higher, he’d be living in the clouds. In the past few months, “House of Gold & Bones – Part 1” has garnered mostly positive reviews from bloggers, journalists and fans. Now, will “House of Gold & Bones – Part 2” live up to the hype? Symbolically, matching their career trajectory, the album begins with a solemn piano passage which slowly builds with the addition of strings and thump-

ing drums, setting things off with a bang. It’s a controlled explosion, though – a masterfully designed, brilliantly executed blast. Each band member is on his game on this one. Taylor’s words are each sung with a mesmerizing level of conviction and attention to vocal subtleties that take his performance to a new level. He’s also at the top of his game lyrically, with not-so-subtle gems like “I’m an anti-everything, man; a scab on the lips of the lord.” In truth everything has been taken to a new level. In terms of pure scope and vision, “Part 2” reminds me of general first impressions about another similarly conceptual album of the current generation, Green Day’s “American Idiot.”

Additionally, those expecting the Pink Floyd comparison to be all hype will be surprised to learn that in terms of how the album seamlessly shifts concepts and tells a great story, it is very much a valid comparison. Not only does the album contain some of Stone Sour’s heaviest material to date, but it also showcases some tunes that would rival the intensity of Slipknot. Moments like the end of “Red City” and parts of “Peckinpah” actually lean more toward thrash and other genres that are more aggressive than Slipknot’s nu-metal aesthetic. It’s all done in good taste, though. In addition these moments are infrequent enough that the group will not alienate mainstream lis-

teners who will latch on to at least a few of the band’s driving and anthemic choruses crafted for radio airplay. Potential singles could include “Stalemate,” “Do Me a Favor” and “Gravesend.” Perhaps the album’s most impressive aspect is its success at providing the listener with a variety of listening experiences within a single package. From the dance-beat drums on “Black John” to the eerie-yet-beautiful “Sadist,” the band shows they can execute just about any style with their high level of musicianship and songwriting. Many hard rock albums suffer from a lack of writing ability, as albums will get boring or bogged down with filler tracks. With this record, you will never wonder how many tracks are left or how

much time is left in a song. It would be remiss not to give praise to producer David Bottrill, whose stunning work creates some extremely poignant chords with some of the most solid and full low-end sounds I’ve heard in a long while, all the while having the know-how to effectively dial things back and work with – rather than against – the band’s malleable nature. The bottom line here is that this is Stone Sour’s defining work. It’s an album that doesn’t ask for your attention throughout; it demands it. They’ve not only crafted an album but an experience.

War with North Korea is not the answer kevin carson guest columnist

In a C4SS op-ed on the Korean “crisis” (“I’m Already Against the NextWar, and You Should Be Too,” April 4), Tom Knapp wrote, regarding his negative impressions of North Korea:“most of what I think I know about it is really just what other governments choose to tell me. And those other governments routinely lie – to everyone, about everything, day in and day out, as a matter of policy …” The current war scare drummed up by the US government (and by cable news – if there’s any difference) fully bears out Knapp’s skepticism. Let’s take a closer look behind the official version of events in Korea over the past several decades: The standard framing of the Korean War is an unambiguous, unprovoked aggression by the North, beginning with a sudden and massive invasion across the Demarcation Line. But in fact the years leading up to the war featured constant cross-border incursions by both sides, often involving thousands of troops. The North Korean version of events was that the Seoul regime had conducted a large-scale artillery bombardment across the border on the 23rd and 24th, followed by a surprise South Korean raid on the town of Haeju. The American military status report at nightfall June 25 said the North Koreans had captured all territory three miles south of the Imjin River — except for the area of the “Haeju counterattack.” John Gunther, in his biography of MacArthur, recounts being informed by a high-ranking member of the American occupation on the 25th: “A big story has just broken. The South Koreans have attacked North Korea!” As war broke out, South Korean dictator Syngman

vosizneais.com

Former NBA player Dennis Rodman visited North Korea last month. Rhee ordered the massacre of at least 100,000 leftist dissidents with the acquiescence of the US military command. The victims included tens of thousands of political prisoners imprisoned by Rhee in the preceding years. The regime emptied its prisons, lined up the prisoners and shot them, dumping their bodies into hastily dug trenches. US military officers were present at some of these mass killings; the US military actually photographed some of them. By way of background, the Korean system of governance that had emerged in the vacuum left by Japan’s 1945 withdrawal was a loose federation of self-governing com-

munes, in which the large and influential Korean anarchist movement played a major role. Soviet and American military authorities, in their respective spheres, quickly put an end to this. The Americans, obviously suspicious of anarchists or leftists of any kind, encouraged dispossessed aristocrats to form a military regime which imprisoned by the tens of thousands the anarchists it had dispossessed and, in a few years’ time, took advantage of the war to finish them off once and for all. Fast forward to the present: Kim Jong Un’s threats of nuclear retaliation against American targets take place against the backdrop of large-

scale joint US-South Korean naval exercises inside NorthKorean territorial waters. The US claims them as South Korean waters based solely on a demarcation line unilaterally drawn by the United States at the end of the Korean War. The US-drawn line is not confirmed by any treaty or recognized by any international body. And by the normal standards for calculating territorial waters under international law, North Korea’s claims to the waters in which the exercises took place are entirely legitimate. So, viewing events from outside the distorting ideological prism of official US statements and their parrots in the media, what re-

ally happened is that North Korea responded to an enormous provocation and a credible threat by warning of retaliation in the event of attack. “OK,” you may be saying. “But even if all that stuff’s true, responding to an offshore provocation in North Korean waters with bluster about nuclear targets in the US is kind of nuts, isn’t it?” Well, it’s certainly immoral. For one state to respond to another state’s military aggression by killing, or threatening to kill, its civilian population is monstrous. And if it’s monstrous, it’s monstrous when anyone does it. It would also be monstrous if some purely

hypothetical country, the only country in the world with atomic weapons, used them to kill several hundred thousand civilians in two Japanese cities. It would be monstrous if some purely hypothetical country with hundreds of long-range bombers had had, as its official military policy, making first use of nuclear weapons and hitting every major population center in the USSR in retaliation for a conventional incursion into Western Europe. The US government is a state. And lying – deliberately, shamelessly – whenever it serves their interests is what states do. Don’t let millions die for a lie.

The Voca People perform at the Creative Arts Center Sunday night.

james yaria a&e writer

Mixing continuous medleys with immediate crowd interaction, The Voca People emitted rays of energetic a cappella Sunday night at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center. Poppy yet original, the eight-person singing group donned all white outfits in order to strum together a

plot in which they represented otherworldly aliens from the planet Voca and needed to refuel their spaceship with music to return to their home planet. Though the idea is inherently contrived, the audience happily sat through the offbeat antics in favor of the musical numbers. After touching audience members and thereby downloading the entire history of popular music, each member of the troupe was able to shuffle through

years of top-40 songs and musical classics, moving fluidly from Ray Charles to Michael Jackson and sporadically in between. Each medley lasted five minutes or longer, and each contained the choruses to 10 or more songs, with no individual song in the medley lasting longer than 30 seconds. This rapid shifting kept the tempo upbeat and interesting, and it helped to make the performance incredibly entertaining. The medleys were

A steady compound of beat boxing kept the pace throughout the act, but sometimes the focus shifted a little too heavily upon the mouth-made snare drums and not enough on the vocal singing. Between songs was a comedic routine that chronicled run-of-the-mill alien interactions with humans and sometimes divulged

into mildly vulgar sexual innuendo. The show suffered a bit from the long pauses between numbers, though many enjoyed the humor of the performance. “I was hoping for very much of the comedy that they put on,” said Rebecca Shriver, a senior child development student at WVU. “We were able to watch them on YouTube a few times before we came to the show, so it kind of gave us a gist of what it would be like, but I really liked how they would interact with the audience.” Shriver was seated in the front row along with her boyfriend. They purchased tickets as soon as they found out The Voca People were performing, and to their enjoyment they were used as props during the show for the ensemble to interact with. Shriver was one of only a handful of students in the crowd, as the heavy majority of the attendees came from around the community and not the classroom. “It was really surprising how few students were here,” said Kelly Cuth-

bert, a senior occupational therapy student. “I mean, I know it’s not Blink-182 or anything, but I was still surprised there weren’t more students.” The audience largely seemed like the type of people who watch “America’s Got Talent” every week, and it would not be a surprise if some of the concertgoers were frequent voters. They filled the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theater, save for the last six rows, which were designated empty. After an hour and a half, The Voca People finally sang enough musical numbers to get the power to their spaceship back, and they closed the performance with the international hit “We Are the World” and a few accompanying encores. With such a bland plot, it would be hard to push more than two hours into the show, but The Voca People was still a delightful experience filled with powerful vocals and a unique take on musical mash-ups. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Jay-Z announces festival returning to Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jay-Z is bringing the “Made in America” music festival back to Philadelphia. The rapper posted a teaser video on his “Life and Times” website Monday that showed footage from last year. It says this year’s festival will again take place on Labor Day weekend - Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. The lineup will be revealed at noon Wednesday on the digital music streaming website Spotify. Last year’s festival was the first of its kind for the entrepreneurial Jay-Z, who is married to superstar Beyonce and owns a music management company, fashion line, nightclub and restaurant. He also has a stake in the Brooklyn Nets. About 40,000 people

attended each of the two days of the 2012 “Made in America” on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. More than two dozen acts performed on three stages, one of which was near the museum steps made famous in the film “Rocky.” The eclectic lineup chosen by Jay-Z included Skrillex, D’Angelo, X, Janelle Monae, Calvin Harris, Pearl Jam, The Hives, Run DMC, Odd Future and Drake. City officials said the festival generated at least $10 million in economic impact for the city and covered all municipal costs associated with the event. The teaser video says “Made in America” will again be sponsored by Budweiser.

West Virginia to take a break from Big 12 play, will face Ohio State Tuesday by kevin hooker sports writer

The West Virginia baseball team will look to end its two-game losing streak today, as it will travel to Columbus, Ohio, for a game against Ohio State. The first pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m., and live results and a recap following the game can be found at WVUsports.com. The Buckeyes, although No. 5 in the Big 10 Conference, have an overall record of 19-10, while the Mountaineers recent slide drops their record to 17-15 and 4-5 in Big 12 conference play. “We’re starting to hit the meat of our schedule,” said head coach Randy Mazey prior to last week-

end’s series against Baylor. “It’s going to start to get tougher against good teams on the road.” West Virginia ended its eightgame win streak to Baylor last weekend, losing its games Saturday and Sunday. The Mountaineers defeated Baylor 9-8 Friday but lost by a combined score of 19-1 in their two losses. In their 11-1 loss Sunday, the Mountaineers gave up nine earned runs in the bottom of the second inning. West Virginia scored their only run of the game in the fourth inning, as junior Ryan McBroom hit his team leading seventh home run of the season. McBroom and designated hitter Matt Frazer are No. 2 and No. 3 in home runs in the conference, respectively.

Left fielder Jacob Rice, who’s been competing for the top batting average in the Big 12 Conference all season, batted just 1-for-16 over the weekend, dropping his .355 batting average to No. 10. Third baseman Ryan Tuntland ranks No. 7 in the conference, hitting .368 from the plate. The team batting average also dropped below .300 for the first time this season. Despite their recent offensive woes, Mazey isn’t concerned heading forward. “We’re not shocked (offensively),” Mazey said. “We knew going into (the season) that our offense was probably going to be the strength of our team. Any guy who steps to the plate is very capable of carrying us through a weekend.”

The rough defensive weekend for the Mountaineers, which gave up a combined 38 hits, 27 runs and three errors against the Bears, dropped the team ERA to secondworst in the conference at 4.14. The Buckeyes dropped two of their three games last weekend against conference rival Minnesota and were scoreless in their two losses. The Ohio State offense, which has been its bright spot all season, has scored just six runs in its last five games. The Mountaineers are right back at it Wednesday, as they’ll be returning to Morgantown for a 6 p.m. game against Youngstown State. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Race for starting quarterback tight

mel moraes/THe Daily Athenaeum

Ford Childress, left, throws during a spring practice as Paul Millard stands and watches.

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS EDITOR

For his first two seasons in Morgantown, Paul Millard’s role was set in stone. He was Geno Smith’s backup and got the opportunity to learn from the threeyear starter while spending some time mastering the West Virginia offense. Now, as Smith prepares to likely be the first quarterback taken in this year’s NFL draft, Millard and redshirt freshman Ford Childress are neck and neck fighting it out to see who will take over as the Mountaineers’ signal caller when the team steps on the field for the first time in 2013. But neither quarterback has been able to separate from the other so far during spring practice. “They’re learning,” said offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. “We’re not there yet. I think everybody understands we’re not there yet. We’re dealing with kids who are inexperienced.” Much like most of the other positions on the WVU

offense this fall, the quarterback position will have very little in-game experience to go off to determine who should get the job. As a true freshman, Childress redshirted and didn’t play, while Millard appeared in 11 games during his first two seasons at WVU. In the 2012 season, he completed nine of his 19 attempts with two touchdowns and an interception. But Millard said he’s starting to get more comfortable now that he has been getting to receive reps with the first team in practice. “The first two years I hadn’t been getting the reps that I’ve been getting now,” he said. “Just having the opportunity to get reps and to pass and run the offense and to see the offense from the sidelines, I think it definitely helps for anybody to watch and learn. “It’s nothing that I can’t handle. When I came to West Virginia, I knew what was going to be thrown at me ... (Now that Smith is gone) somebody else is go-

ing to take the reins, and I’m just working hard each and every day to be that person.” While Millard and Childress are in competition for the same job, the junior said that it’s been a friendly battle during camp. Still, the two know the prize that’s at stake, and they know what they need to do to take care of that task at hand. “We both understand what’s at hand and that the best guy is going to play,” Millard said. “We’re both here to win games, and we want great things to happen for this University and for this football program.” With all of the weapons the Mountaineers lost offensively and the struggles that took place on the defensive side of the ball a year ago, expectations are much lower for WVU coming into this season. That underdog mentality is something Millard likes. It’s a role the undersized, under-recruited quarterback has been used to playing his entire career. And he’s using it now to help him try to win

the job. “It’s a good thing, to be honest,” he said. “We’ll probably be picked last (in the Big 12 Conference); we’re the underdogs now. “You just have to have a chip on your shoulder because nobody expects anything from you, but we all expect high things out of ourselves and out of this team ... I like being the underdog, I always have.” But for now, Dawson and the rest of the coaching staff will be looking for Millard or Childress to step up and show they have what it takes to lead the way for this young, inexperienced offense. “I don’t know if I have ever been 100 percent pleased with any quarterback,” Dawson said. “They are not where they need to be right now. “They still make inexperienced mistakes every day and the only way you correct that is with reps. There has never been a quarterback race more even than them.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

The Enigma that is Aaric Muray If you weren’t already aware, this year’s college basketball season was supposed to be Aaric Murray’s final campaign toward a potential selection in the 2013 NBA draft. The towering, athletic center, who originally transferred from La Salle and sat out the entire 2011-12 season in order to get a chance to play for the legendary Bob Huggins in Morgantown, was looking toward an impressive debut that he hoped would allow him to bypass his senior year of college basketball and enter his name into the NBA draft. It really wasn’t that farfetched of a scenario initially, as Murray had recorded 13.2 points and 7.2 rebounds a game (including 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds in his sophomore season) for La Salle through his first two collegiate seasons, while nearly setting a new school record with 143 career blocks in just those two years. So the numbers made it seem as if it wouldn’t necessarily be a stretch to assume that with Murray’s inherent talent and ability coupled with the fact that he’d have a full season under the 700-win Huggins to even further polish that ability, that WVU would be more or less a pit stop for the Philadelphia-native on his way to the Association. In fact, Huggins has even publicly remarked recently that there was an understanding of sorts in place between himself, the WVU administration and Murray’s “people,” that Murray would almost certainly only be sticking around for the 2012-13 season before bolting for the draft. However, as West Virginia fans are already all too familiar with, things didn’t go to plan for Murray or the Mountaineers this season. Murray’s numbers actually fell across the board. He averaged nearly half of the amount of points scored (8.8) in his first year at West Virginia, than his sophomore season at La Salle (15.2), his rebounds dropped by almost two full rebounds a game and he had nearly one less block a game. So obviously it had to have been a bit of disappointment for both parties, but 2012’s shortcomings don’t necessarily mean the struggles will continue for either Murray or the Mountaineers in regards to 2013-14. Murray has since been humbled tremendously. He must by now have realized that he simply isn’t yet ready to make the jump to the next level and that returning to school to be coached under Huggins as a senior will only help him become a better player. I also think he most likely possesses a much better understanding that, even

Rutgers reviewing all sports practice videos TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Rutgers officials are scrutinizing practice videos of all sports to see if any coach engaged in behavior like the type that cost men’s basketball coach Mike Rice his job, the university president announced Monday. The inquiry into Rice and how university officials responded is also going deeper as the school announced that it plans to hire a consultant to conduct an independent review. University President Robert Barchi, speaking Monday during a town hall meeting on the school’s Newark campus, said that he wants any instances of bullying or homophobic language to be reported immediately. He also reiterated that he wished he had viewed the video where Rice – whom Gov. Chris Christie on Monday called an “animal” – shoved players and called them gay slurs when it first surfaced in November, saying he would have fired Rice then. Rice was fired last week only after the video became public. Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, an assistant basketball coach and the university’s top lawyer also resigned last week, while some Rutgers faculty members and others called for Barchi to step down, too. Meanwhile, Christie on Monday defended Barchi’s performance while blasting Rice’s behavior. He also criticized the reaction of those who knew about it and did not fire the coach months ago, when the video was given to university officials and viewed by – at least – Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, university interim counsel John Wolf and Mark Hershhorn, the chairman of the university Board of Governors’ athletics committee. “They were wrong not to come to the conclusion that Coach Rice needed to be fired immediately,” Christie said at a news conference. Hershorn’s lawyer, Jennifer Joseph, said the governor is wrong about Hershorn. Hershorn immediately

Continued from page 7 though he stands 6-foot-10 at nearly 250 pounds, nothing is going to be handed to him, not by Huggins and especially not by NBA scouts and executives. Another thing working in Murray’s favor looking toward the future is the fact he’ll also be yet another year older next season, which never seems like a lot initially, but even when you’re talking about a kid who will turn 24 this July, there is still a tremendous amount of mental growth and maturity occurring at that age. Murray, who was notably flustered and emotional on a number of occasions on the court this season for the Mountaineers, would be one of the biggest benefactors from another year of this growth. But it’s Mountaineers who will also ultimately benefit. Because now, West Virginia will get a chance to reap some of the rewards from Murray’s development under Huggins in 2012 and during the upcoming offseason. Murray will also be looked upon to provide integral, experienced leadership in the paint and just on the floor in general. This would be favorable to the Mountaineers, who lost senior bigs Dominique Rutledge and Deniz Kilicli to graduation and the 6-10, 240 pound sophomore Volodymyr Gerun to a transfer following this season. Murray showed flashes at points last year, including an inspired effort in the Mountaineers’ final home game that left many scratching their heads wondering where that play was the rest of the year. The point is that he’s already shown he’s certainly physically capable of making a significant impact in a college basketball game. If he can just continue to mature and develop a consistent mindset to pair with his obvious physically abilities, Aaric Murray could be more than a minor contributor or role player on next year’s West Virginia team. In fact, with the right work ethic and mindset, there’s no reason he couldn’t actually be its best player. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Classifieds SPECIAL NOTICES

Rutgers University President Robert Barchi addresses a strategic planning gathering Monday, April 8, 2013, in Newark, N.J. called for Rice to be fired after he saw the video in December, she said, declining to say where he made the recommendation. While the governor had issued statements previously, it was the first time Christie took questions about the scandal at the state’s flagship public university. The Republican governor added that had he been aware of the issues earlier he would have used his “power of persuasion” to try to get Rice fired then. He said he viewed the video not only as a governor but as the father of a college athlete. His son Andrew plays baseball at Princeton. “You’re talking about kids being miserably treated by the guy who determined whether they keep their scholarship or not,” Christie said. He said the video cost the coach his credibility with young athletes and their families. “What parent would let this animal back into their living room to try to recruit their son after this video?” he said. Christie said it was a mistake for Barchi, who took office in September, not to watch the video last year when he first was told about it. But he said leaders of large organizations must delegate some matters and that the mistake was not a firing offense. It was Pernetti’s job to know what the coach was

doing, Christie said. According to a settlement the university provided to The Associated Press on Monday, Pernetti is receiving $1.25 million as he departs, along with perks ranging from health insurance for more than two years to a $12,000 annual car allowance until next year and his universityissued iPad. Rutgers announced Monday that it was commissioning an independent review of Rice’s conduct and the way the university responded to it. The board of governors will meet Thursday to discuss that. Also Monday, board chairman Ralph Izzo said that one board member – Hershhorn – had seen the video in December and that it was not shown to other members. The topic of the coach’s conduct was discussed at a committee meeting in December, but it was not discussed at the whole-board meeting that month. Joseph, Hershorn’s lawyer, said he voiced his concerns about what he believed was “abusive and demeaning” behavior “quickly, responsibly and diligently.” Before hearing Hershorn’s account, state Senate President Stephen Sweeney called on the board member to resign. “Any trustee or member of the board of governors who witnessed the tape at any point before it was publicly aired, and

took no action, should be removed or resign immediately,” he said in a statement. The scandal has prompted the FBI to investigate whether a former Rutgers basketball employee asked for money from Rutgers in exchange for not taking the videos public, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press on Sunday. Asked about the FBI inquiry on Monday, Barchi said the agency wasn’t called but came “on their own.” As the investigations mount, Christie said he did not believe that state lawmakers should have an inquiry of their own, saying Rutgers is investigating and that holding hearings would “continue reputational damage” to the school. Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, who has called for hearings said “the taxpayers, students, faculty, administrators, parents, alumni and other constituents” deserve to know what happened. Meanwhile, Rutgers is turning to former dean Carl Kirschner to run its athletic department on an interim basis while it conducts a search for someone to take the job permanently. It’s the second time that Kirschner will run the program. He took over at the start of 2009 after Robert Mulcahy was fired, and held the role for four months, stepping down when Pernetti took over.
