Alumni Assoc seeks WVU ‘luv’ tales By Carlee Lammers City Editor
Love is in the air – and the library, the PRT, the Mountainlair, Milan Puskar Stadium and even political science class. The West Virginia University Alumni Association is collecting WVU love stories during the month of February to share with the WVU community.
“People truly do value the memories and the experiences that they’ve had here,” said Tara Curtis, Director of Communications for the WVU Alumni Association. “We’re asking people to share their stories of how they met at WVU or through the University.” Through the use of the Alumni Association’s Facebook, Twitter and electronic newsletter, Cur-
tis said the project has received an overwhelming response of various Mountaineer romances. Curtis said stories have been shared through the Alumni Association’s Facebook and Twitter pages, blog and Storify. “What’s nice is that it’s a mix of stories. It’s a mix of those people who met their freshman year, some met senior year,
some didn’t meet until after graduation,” she said. “So we put the call out and got some really wonderful stories of how people met, the challenges they’ve been through, how they’ve stayed united and still love the Mountaineers and this University.” The WVU Alumni Association currently has 2,500 members listed as couples. “That’s not even looking

at every single alumnus,” Curtis said. “It’s neat, because I think college and coming to school is such a unique experience in itself. Then there are these wonderful stories to tell, and so many people, – they have kids, and now they have kids that are thinking about coming to WVU.” Curtis said as social media becomes increasingly prevalent in the lives of

Members of the Christian faith celebrate beginning of Lent with Ash Wednesday By Carlee Lammers & Alyssa Pluchino DA staff
Sunday’s palms are Wednesday’s ashes. Wednesday marked Ash Wednesday for many Christians in the Morgantown community. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. “Basically, Lent is a 40-day fast before Easter. It’s one of the two most important seasons in the Christian year,” said Jane Donovan, a religious studies professor at West Virginia University. “It’s a foreshadowing of Jesus’ death, but it’s also a reminder to keep humans humble.” Donovan said it is common for members of several denominations of the Christian faith to celebrate the event by attending a service in which they receive ashes on their foreheads. Traditionally, she said, the ashes from Ash Wednesday are created by burning the palm branches churchgoers wave on Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is a celebration of Jesus’ entrance into the city of Jerusalem one week before his crucifixion. “After Palm Sunday is over, the palms are collected, and they are burned. That’s what

country, a doctoral degree is the minimum criterion for an individual to hold the title of psychologist. In West Virginia, however, only a masters degree is required. Rachel Spero, a doctoral student in counseling psychology, said the extra 7-9 years of training a doctoral student receives allow for a much better quality of care. “Masters students only receive the basics of training,” she said. If West Virginia does not follow the practice of every other state in the nation, it could cost the state millions
of dollars under the coming federal healthcare changes. Spero said if the law does change, services would not be limited, nor will there be a loss of jobs. “We are simply protecting the role of psychologists,” she said. “Psychologists in West Virginia are not given an accurate reputation, and we are trying to protect our identity.” As of 2012, approximately 15 of West Virginia’s 55 counties had only masters-level psychologists, according to state board figures. Another 11 counties did not have licensed psychologists. Additionally, with its most
recent grading of states in 2009, The National Alliance on Mental Illness gave West Virginia an “F” in most categories. With the new healthcare bill, Spero said some people, such as the elderly and veteran populations, could end up vulnerable and without care. Should the law be changed, however, she said better and more specialized care would be able to be provided to these people. The lobbying group will also be meeting with

With this year’s Student Government Association election just around the corner, the organization is excited to announce the arrival of its new website. The new “Rock the Vote” website launched Feb. 6 and was designed by SGA Web Developer and Creative Director, Cory Dobson. “It’s a new website just like it’s a new election – we’re starting fresh,” Dobson said. The goal of the new site is to increase voter turnout and to spread the word about the SGA election. Last year, less than 10 percent of the student body voted. Dobson and SGA members hope the new site can inform students about SGA’s responsibilities and achievements on campus. They also wanted to reshape the image of the election campaigns. “We thought: ‘What can we do to change the tone of the election – to shake it up?’” said Allison Rollins, SGA election co-chair. She said the site is designed to reach students
who don’t habitually vote. “That’s what we looking for. We’re working as we go – it’s all about engaging,” she said. The website will also host debate recaps, a blog of election coverage and polling results. “It will be a central hub for people to visit so they don’t have to go everywhere for information,” said Josh Harrison, SGA Elections co-chair. The website is run by Dobson, Rollins, Harrison, SGA Vice President Jarred Zuccari and SGA President Zach Redding. Although former members of his ticket and his sister Sara Zuccari are potential candidates in this year’s election, Zuccari said he and Redding mutually agreed to separate themselves from the election. “Zach and I both said we’re not endorsing anybody – no candidates,” Zuccari said. “We want this to be fair – 100 percent.” Zuccari said his goal is to enrich student involvement in this year’s election, and he predicts this year’s voting turnout to be one of the highest.

Qdoba Mexican Grill on Patteson Drive is promoting a Valentine’s Day special today to spice up the love in the Morgantown area. Qdoba provides a fast causual Mexican dining experience where the freshest ingredients are used to make each meal unique. Today, guests can receive a buy-one, get-one entree if they kiss the person they came with at the register. Two entrees must be ordered within a single transaction in order to receive the offer. Marketing intern Katherine Herbst said the buy one get one for a kiss promotion has been going on nationally for three years now, but this is the first time Morgantown’s restaurant is participating in the offer. “With this promotion, a girlfriend could kiss her boyfriend, a mom could kiss her kid’s cheek or strangers may even have a mo-
mentary love connection,” Herbst said. “Our franchise has also added an extra gift, in which the first 100 guests through the door will receive a red rose.” Once customers get up to the register to place their order, they must then kiss someone to receive one of their two entrees free, and the person at the register at the time will be responsible for keeping track of who has kissed and who hasn’t. Herbst said once the employee sees the kiss and enters the promo code into the computer, the computer keeps track of how many guests participate in the event. Josh Young, a senior visual journalism student, said he has participated in this event at another Qdoba previously and is excited to be able to participate again in Morgantown. “I think it’s a good idea, because it gets people out of their comfort zones and

West Virginia ends three-game winning streak, falls on road at Baylor By Nick Arthur
associate sports editor
After a three-game winning streak in conference play, West Virginia had built some momentum before a crucial stretch of the schedule to end the season. But against Baylor Wednesday night, the Mountaineers (12-12, 5-6) turned it over 18 times, shot just 43 percent from the floor and saw their winning streak come to an end in a 80-60 defeat at the hands of Baylor (16-8, 7-4) in Waco, Texas. “We have 18 turnovers against a half-court defense that you can run offense against,” said West Vir-
ginia head coach Bob Huggins on his postgame radio show. “We just throw the ball around. We don’t pass the ball; we throw the ball.” Junior guard Brady Heslip hit six 3-pointers, while Rico Gathers and Big 12 Conference Preseason Player of the Year Pierre Jackson added 22 and 15 points, respectively. “It’s sickening for me to watch. It’s not basketball,” Huggins said. “I think when things don’t go our way, we don’t fight through it very well.” The Mountaineers trailed 7-0 to start the game but were able to fight back and trail but just four at the half. But the Bears would out-
score West Virginia 49-33 in the second on their way to the route. West Virginia freshman guard Eron Harris continues to be the go-to scorer on offense for the Mountaineers. Harris scored 19 points on 6-of-9 shooting and senior forward Deniz Kilicli chipped in 13 points. “I think our freshmen are going to be fine. I really do,” Huggins said. “We’re counting on a sophomore class who consistently haven’t gotten it done.” Even though the freshmen Harris and Terry Henderson have been the consistent scorers, Kilicli’s presence is essential for production on the offensive
end for the Mountaineers. “Deniz has to be a factor for us, or we can’t win,” Huggins said. “If it wasn’t for Deniz, we couldn’t get a shot … Deniz collapses that defense.” WVU was bothered by foul trouble all evening. Junior center Aaric Murray was called for three fouls in just three minutes of play in the first half. Sophomore guard Gary Browne fouled out in just 16 minutes of playing time, and sophomore forward Kevin Noreen committed four fouls in just 13 minutes. Huggins seemed to disagree with the consistency of the officiating. “I don’t know what to
do. If you can’t stand in there with your hands up, what are you supposed to do?” Huggins said. “Nobody wants to watch people shoot 80 free throws.” The Mountaineers are in desperate need of marquee wins. West Virginia has only one win this season against a team with a winning record – Eastern Kentucky – and only two wins against the RPI top 150. WVU will return home Saturday to face Texas Tech – a team it beat by 16 earlier in the season. “We’re going to show up and compete. I promise you that,” Huggins said. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu
wOMEN’S BASKETBALL
WVU falls to No. 19 Oklahoma State By Cody Schuler Managing Editor
The No. 24 Oklahoma State women’s basketball team had revenge on its mind when it traveled to Morgantown for Wednesday’s matchup with West Virginia. Despite committing 23 turnovers, the Cowgirls were able to exact their vengeance, topping the Mountaineers 64-54. Oklahoma State freshman guard Brittney Martin scored 21 points to lead Oklahoma State’s offensive effort. The Cowgirls connected on 48 percent of their field goal tries and now boast a 17-6 record overall and sit at 6-6 in Big 12 play. Oklahoma State head coach Jim Littell said his team’s lack of depth and weak performance on the offensive glass hurt the Cowgirls, but they were able to pull out the win anyway. “A lot of times you don’t win basketball games when you give up 21 offensive rebounds and commit 23 turnovers,” he said. “We’re basically playing five people, so I’m very
proud of our team and how hard they played and how hard they scrapped to get a win tonight.” Cowgirls’ junior guard Tiffany Bias chipped in with 14 points and senior forward Toni Young netted 12 points and grabbed a game-high 16 rebounds. Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s (14-10, 6-7) were paced by s o p h o m o re f o rward Averee Fields, who notched a career-high 21 points in the losing effort. Redshirt junior guard Christal Caldwell was the only other West Virginia player in double-digits, finishing with 16 points on 6-of-23 shooting. West Virginia head coach Mike Carey said his team didn’t display the type of effort he had hoped for this game. “(O klahoma State) came in here and played harder and wanted it more,” he said. “We were just a step slow the whole night on both ends for some reason. I don’t know why.” Caldwell said she wasn’t sure what the reason for the lack of energy was, but it ultimately cost West Virginia in this game. “Maybe we got too com-
fortable – I don’t know,” she said. “(Oklahoma State) definitely came out and wanted it more than we did, and you can’t do that on your home floor. “We knew they were going to come in here strong, because we beat them on their home floor but we relaxed too much, and it hurt us.” With 8:51 to play in the second half, the Cowgirls owned a comfortable 11-point lead, but as the second half progressed the Mountaineers began to chip away at the deficit. After a Caldwell threepointer cut the lead to six with just less than six minutes to play, it appeared West Virginia was in the midst of a challenge for the lead.
However, Oklahoma State countered and didn’t look back, pushing its lead to 9 points with two minutes to play. Both teams raced out of the gates and were knotted at 10-10 after less than four minutes of play. A tied-game at the 8:22 mark was disrupted by Young, who used 6 of her 8 first-half points to spark an 11-3 Oklahoma State run to close out the half. Bolstered by 55 percent shooting from the field, the Cowgirls took a 35-25 lead into the locker room. The Mountaineers shot a paltry 1 of 8 from threepoint range in the first half, but a pair of Caldwell 3-pointers and a Fields layup cut the deficit to two in the second frame’s first
two minutes. The Cowgirls would push back, though, and extend the lead to 11 after the next six minutes. Carey said playing at home is usually a positive thing for his team, however, that hasn’t been the case as of late. “I think we focus more on the road for some reason. I don’t have the answer,” he said. “It seems like right now we’re playing better on the road and focusing more on the road for some reason.” Three of West Virginia’s final five games are on the road, including the next two. The Mountaineers return to action Sunday against Iowa State.

When the men’s basketball season began, who would have thought the two best shooters – and arguably overall best players, would be freshmen? It didn’t appear likely, with such highly anticipated transfers and returning sophomores all making headlines for the Mountaineers in the preseason. However, it’s been the play of Terry Henderson and Eron Harris that has really been the main story thus far this season. Way back in July, Henderson and Harris adjusted to their new lifestyle together. As soon as they got to campus, they became great friends and enjoyed pushing each other to new limits in the gym. Harris and Henderson come from different parts of the country. Harris played at Lawrence High School in Indianapolis, a school that has produced NBA players, while Henderson is a product of Raleigh, N.C. Both players were drawn to West Virginia by head coach Bob Huggins and they wanted to be part of the Mountaineer tradition. So far, Harris and Henderson have been welcomed with open arms by WVU fans. The recent play of the two guards may have something to do with that. While this season may have been a difficult ride so far, Henderson and Harris have been the offensive sparks. Both have shot lights out and somehow kept WVU in the Big 12 Conference. Currently, the Mountaineers are only a few games out of first place. While Henderson has battled some injuries in the past few weeks, he still remains one of the Mountaineers’ biggest scoring threats from beyond the arc. He has really given West Virginia consistency and depth coming off the bench. Harris has emerged as a starter and one of WVU’s leaders. As a freshman, that’s saying a lot – throughout his first few games as a starter, he averaged more than 14 points per game. This is not Kentucky, folks. WVU doesn’t get the freshmen talent John Calipari and his staff receive year in and year out. But on this occasion, Huggins and West Virginia have scored big time. Harris and Henderson have all the potential in the world, and these two could be marquee players in the conference for the next couple of years. Following its win over TCU Saturday, West Virginia enjoyed another threegame winning streak. Henderson had a game-high 17

Yesterday, a group called “Fairness West Virginia” met on West Virginia University’s Downtown Campus to discuss the advancement of LGBT civil rights in West Virginia. On the organization’s website, it describes its mission to “ensure LGBT people can be open, honest and safe at home, at work, and in the community.” It’s hard to see why anyone would oppose this goal. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, our leg-
islature has failed to roll back some shockingly antiquated laws that continue to institutionalize discrimination against a sizeable number of gay and transgendered West Virginians. To this day, West Virginia law permits employers to fire individuals because of their sexual orientation. Tenants can also be evicted for being gay. This is unacceptable, and it is time for the legislature to take action and pass laws protect-

ing these basic civil rights for West Virginia’s LGBT population. During last week’s Festival of Ideas lecture, Newark, N.J. Mayor Cory Booker mentioned that, in addition to fulfilling the state’s moral imperative to respect the civil rights of its citizens, respecting the rights of gay people is also in the best economic interest of the state. Out-dated, Draconian, anti-gay measures undoubtedly discourage many young people from living in West
Virginia. The state’s dwindling young population poses a significant problem. If respecting the civil rights of all West Virginians is not a compelling enough reason to back Fairness West Virginia’s initiative, maybe the more bigoted members of our state legislature will find these practical considerations persuasive enough. As a nation, the United States has finally begun to move away from the misguided prejudices that have long dictated how
gay individuals are treated before the law. The legislature has an opportunity to show that West Virginia is not the backward state many accuse it of being by finally passing legislation to respect the rights of its gay population. If it fails to do this, the legislature should, at the very least, agree to add a disclaimer to the state’s motto: “Mountaineers are always free…except the gay ones.”

President Barack Obama’s manufacturing solution paul sherman the michigan daily
For the past four years, Americans have been waiting for the solution to the economy they thought would have come sooner. Four years ago, in his first State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said that Americans had to “answer history’s call” in the light of a potential “second depression.” This time, as he entered the House chamber and looked in the television cameras for a fifth time, he focused on the idea that creating middle class jobs must be the “North Star that guides our (economic) efforts.” While there are many important issues that face this country, I was pleased that the president brought up
DA
manufacturing. He said that Washington must “guarantee that the next revolution in manufacturing is made in America.” With the Republicans reeling and looking to find support, Obama must strike a bipartisan agreement on the fiscal issues facing this country. Now is the time for Congress to finally make America a “magnet for jobs and manufacturing.” Though there have been signs of erosion, the American manufacturing industry is still one of the largest in the world. A Jan. 2012 Congressional Research Service report found that America’s share of global manufacturing activity has decreased in recent years. China’s manufacturing sector is almost as large as in the United States, valued at $1.814 trillion and $1.756 trillion respectively. In Dec. 2012, the manufac-
turing sector made modest gains in manufacturing activity and factory hiring. One of the common arguments related to manufacturing thrown around recently is that American companies are outsourcing jobs to other countries because their labor laws allow manufacturing operations to be more profitable. However, this is not as big of an issue as most Americans think it is. As the Bureau of Labor Statistics has found, the effect of outsourcing has been minimal. In the third quarter of 2012, when more than 100,000 workers were laid off, firms told BLS that less than 1 percent of these workers had their jobs moved to another country. An article from The Atlantic reported that American companies are seeing the economic benefits of keeping jobs in America
and have, in fact, started to “insource” jobs. China’s Foxconn, the Chinese manufacturing giant, is actually planning on increasing their operations in the United States. American companies are realizing the benefits of keeping jobs in the U.S., which will limit the effect that outsourcing will have on the economy. On the other hand, what’s preventing companies from producing in the United States is the attractiveness of production in other countries. Part of the issue is that the value of the dollar made producing goods in the United States less attractive than other countries with cheaper labor and production costs and lower marginal tax rates. If America wants to become more competitive in this regard, the federal government must be willing to cre-
ate a plan that provides subsidies and “lowers tax rates for businesses and manufactures that (will) create jobs right here in America.” This would help reduce the costs of production in the U.S., which would make companies more willing to attract new jobs without having to reduce workers’ salaries. One point that President Obama has been stressing is that increasing our focus on alternative energy will make America a stronger manufacturing country. According the Department of Energy, in Aug. 2012 the wind sector was employing “75,000 American workers, including workers at manufacturing facilities up and down the supply chain, as well as engineers and construction workers who build and operate the wind farms.” People are now feel-
ing the benefits of alternative energy manufacturing. On top of providing jobs, it will help Americans save money on energy consumption. This is the direction the manufacturing sector is going. If we fail to recognize the importance of alternative energy, America will fall behind. Manufacturing is what has driven America over the past century. If we plan to give up on manufacturing, we are throwing the future of this country away. But words can only go so far. This plan will not completely revive the American car industry or the steel industry. While it’s not complete, President Obama’s plan will make American manufacturing industry more competitive that it is today so that we can be authors of the next great chapter in our American story.

BORN TODAY This year your words carry a lot of weight. You don’t need to fight for an audience; others make it their pleasure to listen to your ideas. Your resourcefulness impresses them.

Read between the lines when dealing with this person. Tonight: Somewhere very different. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Dealing with one special person occupies your day.

Head coach Mike Carey and the West Virginia women’s basketball team lost to Oklahoma State Wednesday night.
by amit batra sports writer
Sweeping a ranked opponent in women’s basketball does not come easy. For the West Virginia women’s basketball team, that opportunity arose Wednesday night against the No. 24 Oklahoma State Cowgirls. The Mountaineers made life difficult in the first half, however. West Virginia fell behind by 10 at the break, but like in many games, it would not go down without a fight. Oklahoma State shot a blistering 55.2 percent (16of-29) from the field in the first half. Led by guard Brittney Martin’s 10 points, the Cowgirls seemed like they couldn’t miss in stretches of the first 20 minutes of play. OSU also outrebounded the Mountaineers 20-14 in the first half. West Virginia would get the lead down to two at one point in the second half, but Oklahoma State’s relentless defense, along with the
Mountaineers’ struggles offensively, gave the Cowgirls the advantage. OSU’s Toni Young would record a double-double, Brittney Martin had a very solid night on the offensive side of the ball with 21 points, and WVU’s inability to get consistent play from its scoring threats gave the Cowgirls the solid road victory. While both teams’ 38 combined turnovers, the play of sophomore forward Averee Fields was monumental in the Mountaineers’ push to make the NCAA Tournament and get back-to-back wins n Big 12 play. Even with the 10-point loss, Fields recorded a career-high 21 points. Her 8-of-13 shooting proved to be the only consistent element in last night’s game. “I know that we all really wanted this win, and thankfully I was hitting my shots, so I kept shooting,” Fields said. “I tried to get other people motivated, and (we) got on some runs, but we just couldn’t close it out
tonight.” Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s earned 21 offensive rebounds, but OSU’s near 50 percent shooting from the field, and the 92.9 percent free-throw shooting was too much for WVU to handle. “We found a way to win,” said Oklahoma State head coach Jim Littell. “A lot of times you don’t win basketball games when you give up 21 offensive boards and you commit 23 turnovers, but we were scrappy and when we got a shot up, we shot it pretty well. We shot it extremely well from the free-throw line. “We’re basically playing five people so I’m very proud of our team and how hard they played. We wanted to contain (Christal) Caldwell; she’s an excellent player. She got 16 (points), but she took 23 shots to get the 16. (Ayana) Dunning hurt us last time at our place – I thought Lindsey Keller played very solid in the middle of the zone. She was very physical and
wythe woods/the daily athenaeum
limited her (Dunning) to good looks.” It was a night that the Mountaineers just seemed to come out flat. While it almost appeared that the Cowgirls wanted it more, West Virginia struggled all night, with the exception of Fields. Caldwell went 6-for23 and she was the victim a good amount of OSU’s 11 blocks. Oklahoma State forward Toni Young recorded six blocks. “It’s just whoever wants it more – everybody needs wins now, and we know that,” Caldwell said. “The same way they know what to expect from us, we know what to expect of them, too. It’s just who executes and whoever plays the hardest, and tonight, they played harder.” Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s will look to earn a muchneeded win when they travel to Ames, Iowa, for a Sunday afternoon game. The tip is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia set for Gold-Blue Open By Kevin Hooker Sports writer
The West Virginia track and field team returns to Morgantown this weekend for the Gold-Blue Open. Competition will begin Friday at 3:30 p.m. at the WVU Shell Building. Originally, half the team was scheduled to travel to Akron, Ohio, while the other half would participate in the Gold-Blue Open in town. “The entire group will be in town,” said West Virginia head coach Sean Cleary. “This meet is a lowkey opportunity to show the coaches how the winter training and racing has developed.”
Batra
Continued from page 3 points on 5-of-6 shooting, including going 3-for-4 from long range. Harris added 14 points on 50 percent shooting from the floor. “Everybody loves it just because we’re young guys,” Harris said following the game. “We’re coming in and contributing as freshmen, and there’s a bright future for us. People like to see that.”
Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s haven’t been on their home turf since Jan. 19, when they hosted the WVU Invitational. A recent flu outbreak has caused a few casualties for the Mountaineers, but the team is finally getting healthy. “(This) is an opportunity for some of the group that has been ill to (come back) and get on the roll that we know they can,” Cleary said. Last weekend at the SPIRE Indoor Track and Field Invitational, senior Heather Adams broke the school record in the weight throw for the second time this season, with a distance of 18.18 meters. She topped her personal-best throw of
18.04 meters, which she recorded two weeks ago. Adams now owns WVU’s three spots in the top-5 for weight throw. “(Adams) is peaking well,” Cleary said. “(She) is (putting) together the best throws of her career.” Redshirt freshman Kelly Williams recorded a personal-best time of 4:38.47 in her mile debut. Williams finished in second place, and now ranks third on the top-5 mile performances in program history. For the second time in as many weeks, Junior Chene Townsend posted a personal-best time of 7.66 seconds in the 60-meter dash. She finished in 14th place in the preliminary heat.
Senior Sarah-Anne Brault, who competed for the first time this season, took 12th place in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 9:34.62. Junior Sarah Martinelli finished in 16th place with a time of 9:40.32. For this weekend, Cleary and the Mountaineers will continually look to make improvements for the remainder of the season. “I am looking for the team to go out (and) compete hard,” Cleary said. “(I) know that we can (take) advantage of the opportunity.” Final results and a recap will be posted on WVUsports.com following the competition.
Henderson feels the duo could be something very special in the near future. Both guys have chemistry together and open up the floor very well. “Yeah, it’s fun playing with him,” Henderson said about Harris following the win in Fort Worth. “And it’s hard for the defense to figure out. We’ve got two athletic shooters – that’s hard to cover. And it’s just going to be a bright future for both of us.” Both guys can contribute
15-20 points each game, and they have the much-needed confidence to knock down those open shots. It’s a good sign that neither Harris nor Henderson is hesitant to shoot the ball. For WVU to play to its potential, both guys need to be involved. In more than 1,000 games coaching, Huggins has seen some dynamic players. From Cincinnati to his brief stint at Kansas State to WVU, the Hall of Fame coach has seen great players come
and go. One thing different about these two guys is that they’re only in their first year of college basketball, which is simply remarkable if you ask me. So, as you watch this year’s team make one last stride to the NCAA Tournament and end this season on a winning note, it will be Harris and Henderson that will need to keep providing that freshmen leadership.

EDM trio looks to light up Fat Daddy’s
Aaron Lingenfelter
Cosby Sweater vocalist and disc jockey David Embry performs at the Mousetrap Bar & Grill in Indianapolis.
by hunter homistek a&e editor
Electro-jazz trio Cosby Sweater will perform a latenight set tonight at 10:30 p.m. at Fat Daddy’s Bar and Grill immediately following the Umphrey’s McGee concert at the Metropolitan Theatre. Comprised of a disc jockey, a drummer and a saxophonist, Cosby Sweater looks to keep the Valentine’s Day party rolling long after Umphrey’s closes its set. “Fans can expect to see a truly interactive, live EDM (electronic dance music) experience that spans many
genres with a great light show,” said Nick Gerlach, Cosby Sweater saxophonist. “One thing is for sure – no one gets bored at a Cosby Sweater show. Live production and improv are both staples of a Cosby Sweater live experience.” Rarely will you find a group that mixes a woodwind instrument like a saxophone with electro staples like drums and a DJ, but Cosby Sweater executes their style perfectly, and their dedication to their respective instruments results in a unique product. “Cosby Sweater promotes its sound as electro-jazz,
and the tenor sax will have you feeling you’re hearing Charlie Parker in outer space,” said event promoter Adam Payne. “The band follows a formula similar to Big Gigantic or Moon Hooch but offers more of an electro/house-based beat pattern with a jazz influence meshed in.” Tonight’s performance at Fat Daddy’s will also mark the band’s first trip to Morgantown, and Gerlach assured potential concertgoers this is a can’t-miss event. “It’s our first time here (in Morgantown), so the show will be special to everyone that hasn’t seen us before,”
Gerlach said. “It will be a nice mix of original tunes (and) remixes. We always have a great time onstage and try to give that to our audience – sometimes we even surprise ourselves.” Cosby Sweater makes its musical approach effective through a diverse cast of musicians. Each member got his start in a different way, and this experience has allowed the group to seamlessly transition between genres and styles, while still managing to form a cohesive and engaging end product. “Each member of the band got their start in dif-
ferent ways,” Gerlach said. “I personally got my start playing sax in the school band in elementary school. Sleepy (Richard Floyd, drummer) started out in church. Dave (Embry, production and vocals) started out playing in rock bands when he was in high school.” For fans of EDM, a fun atmosphere and an all-around great time, Cosby Sweater’s performance at Fat Daddy’s tonight will provide the perfect backdrop to celebrate Valentine’s Day in style. “Someone should come to this show if they love to dance, love high-quality production, improvisational
music or all of the above,” Gerlach said. Following behind an acclaimed act like Umphrey’s McGee may be a tall task, but with Cosby Sweater’s original sound and masterful musicianship, satisfaction is guaranteed. There will be a $5 cover charge at the door, and partygoers must be 21 or older to attend. If you come to the show with an Umphrey’s McGee ticket stub from their performance at the Metropolitan Theatre, the cover charge will be reduced to $3. hunter.homistek@mail.wvu.edu
