New SGA leaders inaugurated by bryan bumgardner associate city editor

The Student Government Association of West Virginia University celebrated the inauguration of the 2013-14 administration at the Erickson Alumni Center Sunday.

SGA president Ryan Campione and SGA vice president Ben Seebaugh gave inaugural addresses at the event – Seebaugh’s in the version of a video from abroad.

Former SGA president Zach Redding and former SGA vice president Jarred Zuccari gave speeches at the event, reflecting on their positions and offering words of advice.

“The people I’ve met (and) the experiences I’ve had have truly changed my life,” Zuccari said. He expressed his support for the incoming administration.

“I have full faith in all of you that you will take student government to the

next level,” he said.

Redding harkened to the core ideals of student government in his address.

“Being in student government gives you the ability to help others and make change,” he said. “What else can you ask for?”

In his inaugural address, Campione spoke to the incoming governors about the challenges ahead.

“We are beginning a long and toilsome journey, and I want to put things in per-

spective,” he said.

The governors are serving a constituency of more than 29,000 students.

“That is literally a larger constituency than every single mayor of a town or city in West Virginia, with the exception of six,” Campione said.

Even so, Campione said he feels all members of SGA should be accessible to the students.

“No longer should a

WALK OF FAME

WVU Slut Walk 2013 draws attention to victim blaming, rape culture by terri parlett copy editor

The sluts have spoken.

Friday night, more than 100 women and men – selfproclaimed “sluts” – gathered to march down High Street in protest of victim blaming.

WVU’s Slut Walk 2013 started in front of the Mountainlair and ended at the courthouse on High Street.

Slut Walk began in Toronto in 2011 as a counter to the advice from a representative of the Toronto Police Department, who said “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” Women were outraged by the implication that their appearance was to blame for rapes and assaults, so they began rebelling.

Women and men marched down the street, some dressed as sluts, some simply as they were, to counter the example that many, like the police officer in Toronto, expect of them.

Chants of “however we dress, wherever we go, yes means yes and no means no” and “sluts and hos can still say no” filled High Street as passersby watched a scantily clad crowd march past.

Typically, these events are very female-dominated.

However, this Slut Walk included a strong male demographic. Sam Wilmoth, a social work student, said this is a positive sign for the movement.

“It represents an acknowledgement that is a problem that affects everyone. Whether you know it or not, everybody knows somebody who has been victimized in a

Maniacs to host annual Ryan’s Rally

By Summer Ratcliff staff writer

The Mountaineer Maniacs will host their secondannual 5k run/walk to benefit former West Virginia University student Ryan Diviney.

Diviney, a resident of Ashburn, Va., was brutally attacked outside the Willey Street Dairy Mart in November 2009 and remains in a coma-like state to this day.

Due to the excessive funds needed to cover Diviney’s continued medical care, numerous fundraisers are coordinated each year at WVU to raise money for

his family.

Chris Northrup, executive director of the Mountaineer Maniacs, said the Maniacs hope to see an increase in the level of participation from last year’s 5k.

“Last year we had around 100 runners and raised over $2,500,” Northrup said. “This year we have set a goal of 250 runners and $3,500.

“With that said, we need the help of students to come out and run or walk in this great event.”

The Ryan’s Rally 5k run/ walk will be held April 27 at 10:30 a.m. at the Student Recreation Center.

Registration forms can be

picked up on the door of the Maniacs’ office and can be mailed in or dropped off in the Student Organizations Office in the Mountainlair.

Registration is also available online at www.active. com/r unning/morgantown-wv/ryans-rally-5krun-or-walk-2013 .

All participants will receive a free shirt the day of the race and can also receive 1-2 hours of community service by logging on to iserve.wvu.edu.

Northrup said the Maniacs are excited to help a student in need while raising awareness for violence throughout WVU’s campus.

“We are very excited to

once again team with the Ryan’s Rally foundation to put on a 5k to raise money for Ryan Diviney’s continued medical expenses and to raise awareness for violence on campus,” he said.

“It is an amazing cause and a good way to get a little exercise while giving back to a great foundation. This event is a true win-win. In the words of Ryan’s Rally: We got this.”

All funds raised at the race will go directly to Ryan Diviney’s continued fight for life. For more information on Ryan and his rally, visit www.ryansrally.org. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia University Competitive Cheerleading Club received national attention this weekend at the National Cheerleaders Association Collegiate National Championship.

The team won first place competing in Intermediate All-Girl Division I, beating the University of North Carolina at Charlotte by nearly two points and a total of 16 teams during the competition.

“I kind of feel like I’m on top of the world,” said club president and senior Sara Treser. “I feel like anything is possible.”

Since its founding five years ago, the team has already won two national titles – the first in 2010 and now in 2013.

In order to be invited to the competition in Daytona, Fla., the teams must send a video of their skills to the judges. Once they qualify, the teams compete throughout a span of two days in April.

On the first day, or preliminaries, the team competes with a cheer and a routine set to music. If selected to advance to finals, the team competes with their routine again on the second day. If the deam does not advance, they compete in the Challenge Cup that evening, which WVU’s team had to do this weekend.

“On the first day of competition, they called us on a legal issue in our pyramid that kept us out of finals,” said head coach Amanda Hite. “We had to compete against nine other teams in Challenge Cup, where only the winning team moved on to finals.”

The girls knew the Challenge Cup would be their last shot at earning another national title and took the competition by storm.

“The pressure didn’t faze the girls, and they advanced easily to finals,” Hite said.

According to Alexandra Russomano, it’s almost unheard of to not advance, then win Challenge Cup and win the entire championship, but this team was able to.

“We worked hard to get that finals performance, and hitting the routine was just the perfect way to show ourselves and the judges that we belonged there the entire time,” Russomano said. “We were so determined when we got here that we actually won twice. That truly describes our team.”

Despite many obstacles throughout the season, the girls continued

fighting until they reached the goal they set for themselves at the beginning of the season.

“I knew at the beginning of the season that these girls could win,” Hite said.

The girls have been putting countless hours of practice in during the past few months.

“We’ve been practicing the same routine over and over again since before winter break, at least three times per week, and the few weeks prior to leaving for Daytona we would practice nearly every day,” Russomano said. “On top of the practice, we also needed to fund-raise to even go on the trip. All the work and stress was definitely worth it, though.”

Treser agreed despite the obstacles, winning a national title was worth it.

“There was a lot of adversity, and it wasn’t smooth sailing,” Treser said. “Prior to winning, there were a lot of tears, injuries, emotions and late-night practices followed by early-morning practices. The amount of physical and emotional stress is inexplicable, but I’d take all the bruises and beating over again, though, if it means hearing them call our name as national champions.”

The team also hopes their hard work and success is noted around the University. As a club, the team feels it doesn’t always receive the attention it deserves.

“I wish it were viewed as a bigger deal,” Treser said. “We are representing the school at such a prestigious competition and winning first place, and we always get so many compliments about how classy we are, yet the University doesn’t always recognize our efforts.”

Russomano said she hopes the win helps secure a greater respect for club sports.

“I believe the win helps to create an even better name for WVU and shows that we have success not only within school athletics, but also within club sports,” Russomano said.

“Also, I hope the respect the students have for club sports grows from this win and helps to make our club known throughout the school.”

Regardless, Treser said she is sure the success of the club will only continue to grow.

“I hope the team continues to win national championships, makes a name for themselves and becomes a recognized sport

by WVU,” Treser said.

Venezuelans choose between Chavez heir, new path

ap

Venezuela’s interim President Nicolas Maduro greets supporters as he arrives to cast his ballot in the presidential election in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Voters chose Sunday between the hand-picked successor who campaigned to carry on Hugo Chavez’s selfstyled socialist revolution and an emboldened secondtime challenger who warned that the late president’s regime has Venezuela on the road to ruin.

Nicolas Maduro, the longtime foreign minister to Chavez, pinned his hopes on the immense loyalty for his boss among millions of poor beneficiaries of government largesse and the powerful state apparatus that Chavez skillfully consolidated.

Maduro’s campaign was mostly a near-religious homage to the man he called “the redeemer of the Americas,” who succumbed to cancer March 5. He blamed Venezuela’s myriad woes on vague plots by alleged saboteurs

that the government never identified.

Challenger Henrique Capriles’ main campaign weapon was to simply emphasize “the incompetence of the state,” as he put it to reporters Saturday night.

Maduro, 50, was favored to win, but his early big lead in opinion polls was cut in half over the past two weeks in a country struggling with the legacy of Chavez’s management of the world’s largest oil reserves. Millions of Venezuelans were lifted out of poverty under Chavez, but many also believe his government not only squandered, but plundered, much of the $1 trillion in oil revenues during his tenure.

Venezuelans are afflicted by chronic power outages, crumbling infrastructure, unfinished public works projects, double-digit in-

flation, food and medicine shortages, and rampant crime. Venezuela has one of the world’s highest homicide and kidnapping rates.

“We can’t continue to believe in messiahs,” said Jose Romero, a 48-year-old industrial engineer who voted for Capriles in the central city of Valencia. “This country has learned a lot and today we know that one person can’t fix everything.”

In the Chavista stronghold of Petare outside Caracas, the Maduro vote was strong. Maria Velasquez, 48, who works in a government soup kitchen that feeds 200 people, said she was voting for Chavez’s man “because that is what my comandante ordered.”

Reynaldo Ramos, a 60-year-old construction worker, said he “voted for Chavez” before correct-

“I see a bright future for the club,” Russomano said.

“My first year, we got seventh, my second year, we got second, and this year we won twice. The talent of this club and determination to succeed is unlike any team I have ever been on, and I look forward to my senior year on this squad to see what else we can accomplish.”

Unfortunately, Treser does not get the opportunity

Roberts said the events help to promote under-

“It was a lot more emotional for me this time since it’s likely my last cheerleading competition ever,” Treser said. “I think I barely cried when we won my freshman year, and this year I cried before the routine, during and after.”

Treser said the bonds with her teammates will be the aspect she misses most.

“I really feel as if these girls became my little sisters, and I still feel as if my old teammates are family,” Treser said. “I’ll just re-

ing himself and saying he chose Maduro. But he could not seem to get his beloved leader out of his mind.

“We must always vote for Chavez because he always does what’s best for the people and we’re going to continue on this path,” Ramos said. He said the government had helped him get work on the subway system and helps pay his grandchildren’s school costs.

The governing United Socialist Party of Venezuela deployed a well-worn getout-the-vote machine spearheaded by loyal state employees. It also enjoyed the backing of state media as part of its near-monopoly on institutional power.

media with fines and prosecutions that they called unwarranted.

Capriles is a 40-year-old state governor who lost to Chavez in October’s presidential election by a nearly 11-point margin, the best showing ever by a challenger to the longtime president.

“Capriles ran a remarkable campaign that shows he has creativity, tenacity and disposition to play political hardball,” said David Smilde, an analyst with the Washington Office on Latin America think tank.

At his campaign rallies, Capriles would read out a list of unfinished road, bridge and rail projects. Then he asked people what goods were scarce on store shelves.

Capriles showed Maduro none of the respect he earlier accorded Chavez. Maduro hit back hard, at one

point calling Capriles’ backers “heirs of Hitler.” It was an odd accusation considering that Capriles is the grandson of Holocaust survivors from Poland.

The opposition contended Chavez looted the treasury last year to buy his re-election with government handouts.

It also complained about the steady flow of cut-rate oil to Cuba, which Capriles said would end if he won.

Venezuela’s $30 billion fiscal deficit is equal to about 10 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.

Maduro, a former union activist and bus driver with close ties to Cuba’s leaders, constantly alleged that Capriles was conspiring with U.S. putschists to destabilize Venezuela and even suggested Washington had infected Chavez with the cancer that killed him.

After the event, SGA Governor Evan McIntyre paused to reflect on his experiences from election to inauguration.

“I feel like there was never really an end,” he said.

“It went from campaigning to trying to figure out what needs done and how to do it.

“There’s so many things left to do.”

McIntyre supported Campione’s perspective on SGA’s accessibility.

“We should be out there and available,” he said.

“There’s so many things we can do to help the students that they don’t know about.”

By wearing provocative clothing and protesting the rape culture perpetuated by these ideals, the women participating in Slut Walk hope to show that women, no matter how they present themselves, are not inviting sexual assault.

Wilmoth said this is an especially large problem on

college campuses.

“College campuses across the country have astronomically high levels of rape and abusive relationships and bullying and all kinds of things that we need to take care of, and events like this are a good way to start,” he said.

At the end of the walk, in front of the courthouse, Ruth Kershner, associate professor of social and behavioral sciences, told the story of two young girls who had been raped. She said two sisters, age 13 and 16 at the time, were taken into the woods, raped and tossed into a ravine. The younger sister died, but the 16-year-old was able to make her way out of the

ravine.

Twenty years later, as a 36-year-old woman, the sister committed suicide in the same ravine where her sister was killed.

Kershner said the police officer who investigated the case said, “She was raped and murdered 20 years ago, and she only died today.”

Kershner said this violence needs to stop.

“When I started teaching at the University, the chances (of a woman being raped) were one in 10. Now it’s one in six. It’s times like this when we have to stand up and say, ‘we are not going to take this anymore.’” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Cultures collide at World Music Showcase Concert

Students Jack Flesher and Hannah Webster enjoy playing music from around the world during the World Music Showcase Concert.

Terri Parlett Copy editor

Cultures as diverse as Bali, Ghana, Trinidad and Brazil collided Friday night at West Virginia University’s World Music Showcase Concert.

The concert included the WVU Balinese Gamelan Ensemble, the African Music and Dance Ensemble and two steel drum bands, and it presented traditional world music, as well as

popular music, on unique instruments.

The show opened with the Balinese Gamelan Ensemble. The word “gamelan” refers to the entire ensemble, which consists of drums, a series of bells played with a mallet and gongs. The WVU Balinese Gamelan Ensemble performed several traditional songs, including one which was accompanied by a viola solo.

After the gamelan, the African Music and Dance En-

semble performed. This was a high-energy performance of various African drums, accompanied by traditional African dances.

When choreographing the dances, Michael Vercelli, associate professor of world music, turned to master Dagomba dancer Sulley Imoro. Imoro choreographed the traditional Dagomba praise dances the ensemble performed.

The program also included two steel bands, one

composed of students with no previous experience in the band and one reserved for students who have previously performed in steel band. This half of the performance heavily featured compositions and arrangements by graduate assistant Rafael Smith.

Smith is an exchange student from Brazil, and he will be graduating with a master’s degree in music composition. For the concert, Smith arranged the popular

“Trololol” song, of YouTube fame, “Fireflies” by Owl City and a medley of Michael Jackson songs. He also arranged a traditional Brazilian tune, meshing his own culture with that of the steel drums of Trinidad.

The unique thing about this concert was that many students had never played the instruments in the ensembles, and some had little to no previous musical experience. This didn’t lessen the concert, though. Every

ensemble performed beautifully, and the performance was one of the most energetic and fun I’ve seen lately.

In the fall, the world music classes offered at WVU will include Japanese Taiko drumming alongside the steel bands and African music and dance ensembles.

‘Veep’ star joins Vice President for lunch WASHINGTON (AP) – Watch out, Joe Biden. The other vice president is in the house.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Vice President Selina Meyer on the HBO comedy “Veep,” came to the White House on Friday to have lunch with Biden.

While in the West Wing, Louis-Dreyfus took the opportunity to try out the vice president’s desk - the real one, not the replica she uses on the set.

“I surprised him by sitting at his desk, so he thought he’d just ask my advice on various briefs he had to deal with,” LouisDreyfus said in an audio clip posted to the White House website. “I was happy to give him my advice, which he paid no attention to whatsoever.”

“It’s a day I’ll never forget,” she added.

Her performance as an ambitious but largely powerless No. 2 hasn’t gone unnoticed by Biden.

After the former “Seinfeld” star won an Emmy award for her performance in the first season of “Veep,” Biden called her to offer his congratulations, the vice president’s office said.

And in 2008, when thenSen. Biden and President Barack Obama were running for office, Biden and Louis-Dreyfus appeared together on NBC’s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where Biden plunged the actress into the pool of a dunk tank to raise money for breast cancer. The two then shared a soggy smooch through the bars of the dunk tank.

The second season of “Veep” starts Sunday.

Late-night legislating in Charleston www.bordaslaw.com

The capitol building in Charleston, W.Va. is the home of the state’s legislature.

A bill touted by proponents as a necessary economic development stimulus for Morgantown failed to pass in the West Virginia legislature Saturday night, as the 2013 legislative session came to a close.

The ill-fated bill was a victim of legislative horsetrading, as members of the House refused to pass the bill without passage of an

unrelated bill that sought to increase magistrate pay.

The clock struck midnight before an agreement could be reached on both proposals, so neither passed.

The Morgantown bill would have set aside millions for the creation of a new exit between Westover and Star City and the construction of an economic development that would include a baseball

stadium. The bill’s supporters, including Morgantown mayor Jim Manilla, lamented its demise as the latest failure of West Virginia government to address the economic needs of the state.

Manilla took to Twitter to vent his frustration in the immediate aftermath of the session. “Sad, sad, sad day for Morgantown, north central WV,

and the state for not passing TIF. This is why we are ranked last in everything,” he tweeted.

Manilla’s statement is a bit melodramatic, but the incident does underscore the failure of West Virginia’s government to get behind much-needed economic development.

Considering Morgantown’s stature as an economic powerhouse for

the state, with the University as its driving force, it’s puzzling the state wouldn’t seek to invest in the area.

The bill’s failure also exemplifies the worst of reckless legislating. Why would these bills that would have such far-reaching consequences for the state be decided on in such a haphazard manner? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

‘Accidental Racist’ purposefully distorts history micah conkling columnist

“It ain’t like you and me can rewrite history,” sing Brad Paisley and LL Cool J on their new duo single, painfully titled “Accidental Racist.”

It’s obvious in the song neither singer has the agency, tact or intelligence to change the past or future course of human events, but the tune is even more problematic than countless blog posts and tweets spouted in a media reaction to the song have observed.

We are amid the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, and countless events and gatherings have taken place to remember the War Between the States during its 150th anniversary.

The majority of these memorials attempt to remember the Civil War in an accurate light, which is to say, an achy and perplexing one.

For much of the South, the war of northern aggression is inseparable from southern culture, and thus the war lives on as an intricate and beloved part of below-the-Mason-Dixon Line heritage. The North, too, has an inevitably tense situation to engage when it sets out to remember the people, events and history of the battles that cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their lives.

In addition to (and arguably more problematic than) the goofy wordplay and general ridiculousness of “Accidental Racist,” Paisley and LL Cool J make serious and irresponsible miscalculations by intertwining both generalized and comicalized takes on race with different tenets of Civil War memory.

At best, “Accidental Racist” is a dangerous oversimplification of the causes and forces that brought about the Civil War, as well as the way slavery was handled,

DA

Brad Paisley hosts the 46th Annual Country Music Awards at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. and reconstruction was performed in the post-war Union.

Paisley references that his Confederate flag T-shirt as merely representative of his Lynyrd Skynyrd fanship, claiming it “somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the south.”

When LL Cool J responds to “Dear Mr. White Man,” he sings that “I wasn’t there when Sherman’s march turned the South into firewood/I want you to get paid but be a slave. I never could.”

Cool J also sings, “RIP

Robert E. Lee, but I’ve gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me, know what I mean.”

These song lyrics are infused with historical elements, but irresponsibly, and they are not even close to being comprehensive enough to be accurate.

The Confederate flag is much more than a symbol of Southern pride; it’s a lasting relic of a regime that fought to maintain its right to hold slaves. Sherman didn’t merely turn “the South to firewood” – he and his men obliterated and pillaged a

path from Atlanta to Savannah. And, as evidenced by the recent film “Lincoln,” America’s 16th President’s relationship with emancipation was anything but easy and clear-cut.

To be fair, it’s a somewhat honorable move to try to tackle racism in a song.

It’s happened before – but by artists who more gently and judiciously approach the issue, like Public Enemy and Billie Holliday. It’s Paisley and LL Cool J’s methodology of attempting to lecture about a vast historical event and draw in multiple

complex issues surrounding the Civil War to make their argument that’s precarious. Sadly, more people will probably ingest “Accidental Racist” than will read Eric Foner’s “The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery” or Elizabeth Varon’s “Disunion!”

The brief and simple treatment Paisley and LL Cool J give to the Civil War and slavery gives listeners the idea they’re getting a lesson and receiving a message based on fact.

Because of the vastness of the war and the complex-

ity of slavery, it’s impossible to healthily inform or persuade of anything invoking what the pair do in the time allotted in a pop song.

Paisley and LL Cool J certainly cannot rewrite history, as they admit in their ditty. They also, because of their ignorance of history and quickness to churn out a quirky novelty country/ rap song instead of considering stewardship of history, are writing the present and future in an immature and volatile way. I only wish we could rewrite – or just remove – their song.

wisely!

BORN TODAY This year you often express your views and communicate intellectually; however, there are times when you swing from being logical to being more emotional and conflicted. Do not let co-workers, acquaintances or those you don’t deeply trust see these swings. You will change after this year. If you are single, you’ll meet someone very important to your life and well-being after June. Enjoy it! If you are attached, the two of you need to plan special mini-trips alone as a couple.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You need some time away from others. Seclude yourself if possible; otherwise, you could find yourself in a difficult situation where your grumpiness will emerge. The power to prevent this outcome from happening is in your hands. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Before you attempt to change a pattern, know that your efforts might need to be repeated. Plan your activities appropriately.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You have strong feelings, and you communicate them to others. Sometimes you go overboard in making your points. A male friend could be extremely assertive; let go and see what happens. Get a close friend’s opinion. Tonight: Spend your money

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You might want to understand more of what is going on behind someone’s strong statement. When you hear this person’s message, be sure to ask questions in order to find out where he or she is coming from. Be as clear as possible. Tonight: Take a much-needed break.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH The possibility of an eye-opening experience appears on the horizon. You might want to jump on this opportunity within the next few days. For some of you, a foreigner will enter your life who shares your vision and goals. Tonight: Catch up on a good friend’s news.

Beats, art on display at 123

Mash-up producer and DJ Monstalung sets the stage at 123 Thursday with a series of aggressive beats.

Monstalung performs at 123 Pleasant Street.

jAMES yARIA A&E WRITER

In a night of beats, art and graffiti, “That 808 Life” displayed every angle of local talent at 123 Pleasant Street Thursday night.

Headlined by mash-up producer DJ Monstalung, “That 808 Life” brought a handful of different musical artists together to make one very unique sound.

Ranging from beatboxing to electronic dance music to rap, each artist brought a different vibe to a crowd of more than 50. “(This show is) a showcase of local producers and beat makers,” said Ryan “DNK” Dunkerley. “A couple guys brought their DJ gear down; some just brought mixes that they made together.”

Dunkerley utilized different live-made loops by beatboxing and playing bass guitar in a similar fashion to his other role as “The Professor”

Ghost B.C. continues to impress with ‘Infestissumam’ josh ewers a&e writer

Only in the wondrous and magical time that is the year 2013 – with all the modern opportunities it affords and the innumerable choices in everyday life – can a band like Ghost B.C. exist and thrive.

On the Sweden natives’ second album, “Infestissumam,” shock rock, a style exemplified by such performers as Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson and Gwar, is taken to a new level.

Led by the aptly named lead singer Papa Emeritus II,

who always appears dressed as a skeletal, evil-looking pope, “Infestissumam” stands out in the crowded world of modern music.

For the record, the other members of the band are known as “nameless ghouls,” and they perform only in darkened robes. Seriously, Google these guys and try not to want to listen.

They are so much more than their image, though.

Their latest effort has seen the band soar to new heights of popularity, though that rise has not been without controversy.

In fact, while already fresh off of a dispute involving use of the original band name, Ghost, the band actually had

vision, and my computer got stolen, and I needed an outlet anyway, and I just kind of started painting one day. Stuff just kind of came to me.”

Pancake’s art consisted of largely feminine pieces and explored different styles from one piece to another. Next to a multi-surfaced piece of a jellyfish stood more exotic works, such as a vaginal flower that was painted over a picture of Pancake’s ex-boyfriend.

to redesign the album’s cover art, since U.S. manufacturers turned the band down on multiple occasions because the art depicted a medieval orgy.

Weird enough for you to check them out now?

If not, be aware they possess some major chops, as well.

Consisting of a vocalist, two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer and a keyboard player, Ghost B.C. uses a superior knowledge of song crafting and a brazen disregard for convention to produce a sound that reminds one of a church service on the eve of the apocalypse.

The organ is instantly recognizable in today’s rock world as a largely foreign entity, but they weave its passages brilliantly and seamlessly into the context of the music. It intertwines with buzzing, distorted guitars that take their cues from both the winding leads of classic rock, the ear-grabbing simplicity of punk and the rhythmic, marching thump of thrash, all contained within a darkened atmosphere.

It’s an altogether refreshing result.

Full of religious-sounding, chanting vocal work that is as haunting and serene as it is beautiful and smooth, this unholy matrimony of per-

ceived musical disconnect comes together to form a powerful melodic entity that is more than worthy of praise.

The harmonies are subtle and subdued, serving to keep a calm, though slightly unnerving tone to the music, due to the band’s contrasting style and execution.

They show a great deal of maturity in letting songs breathe, and they create a sense of space unlike so many of their progressive peers.

Ghost B.C. simply isn’t who you want them to be, in the best possible way.

Whether they’re drawing from pop-punk, polka, classic rock, thrash or angrily scribbling on the church bulletin in the back pew, from the depraved carousel ride of “Secular Haze” to the surprisingly pop-sensible bounce of “Jigolo Har Megiddo,” Ghost B.C. throws enough changeups to keep the album from getting stale, and they keep the unique concept they’ve created sounding crisp and fresh.

“Infestissumam” is likely only the beginning for this mega-talented and unapologetic six-piece outfit.

STAYING HOT

Michael carvelli sports editor

Spring game will provide sneak peek of 2013 As the West Virginia football team walked off the field following the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, it was inevitable things were about to change.

After a season in which the Mountaineer defense was as bad as it’s ever been and one of the most talented and prolific offensive units to ever don the Old Gold and Blue lost a large percentage of its key cogs, there has been plenty of uncertainty and intrigue surrounding WVU’s second spring practice with head coach Dana Holgorsen at the helm.

That’s why next weekend’s Blue-Gold Spring Game is going to be so important for anyone following Mountaineer football. For a team that has so many question marks surrounding it heading into the season, this will be a great first opportunity to get some of the answers to the questions everyone is asking.

And there are so many things that need to be answered.

Of course, the biggest question comes from the huge shoes Geno Smith left behind after three years as the Mountaineers’ starting quarterback.

Up to this point in the spring, according to Holgorsen’s depth chart (which, as he always says, isn’t really even worth the paper it is printed on), junior Paul Millard is listed as the No. 1 quarterback ahead of redshirt freshman Ford Childress and true freshman Chavas Rawlins.

Whoever wins the job, likely either Millard or Childress, will have the daunting task of stepping in for Smith and – based on the past success of first-year quarterbacks at WVU – will be expected to jump in and make big contributions quickly.

Dating back to 2002, West Virginia’s last four starting quarterbacks have all won at least nine games in their first year starting.

But the Mountaineers don’t just have to figure out who will be throwing the ball; there are also plenty of spots available for the players who will be catching passes from whomever wins that job.

In an offense in which the depth at receiver is more important than ever, WVU returns just two receivers who caught more than two passes last season and lost five of its six leading receivers.

As a result, there will be plenty of chances for not only the players returning without much experience, but also for guys like Kevin White and Daikiel Shorts to begin making a name for themselves before the rest of a talented class (that includes players like Shelton Gibson) makes its way to campus for fall camp in August.

When you factor in a tough running back competition, a young offensive line and a defense that has been gaining experience and is hungry to get better after last season, there will be plenty of things to watch for when they take on the field Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Right now, I think West Virginia is looking at a bit of a rebuilding year with everyone who left after last season. Even with the best offensive talent the school has seen in quite some time, the Mountaineers were only able to win seven games. So it’s hard to expect WVU to win more than six games or so in 2013.

But that’s just the way I think it will turn out right now; there will be plenty of things that could change as the season draws closer and once we get a good look at the talent of the players who will be counted on to contribute more this season.

And evaluating those things will start Saturday in the spring game when we get to see them in real, in-game action for the first time. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

WVU takes two of three from Flames, has won 12 of last 17 games by connor Murray sports writer

The WVU baseball team concluded a busy five-game week by winning two of three games against the Liberty Flames in Lynchburg, Va., this weekend.

Friday night’s game was dominated by WVU’s sophomore left-hander Harrison Musgrave. Musgrave threw seven shutout innings, striking out two and allowing only three hits as he improved his overall record to 5-1 with the Mountaineers’ 8-0 victory.

Junior first baseman Ryan McBroom continued his recent power surge with a three-run home run in the first inning.

The Mountaineer offense never looked back from there, rattling off 11 hits on the way to victory.

Saturday was a completely different story, however, as the Mountaineers found themselves at the mercy of the Liberty offense, falling 9-2.

Junior Corey Walter took the loss for WVU after working 6.1 innings while giving up five earned runs on the strength of eight hits. With the loss, Walter’s record dropped to 2-4 on the season.

Senior pitcher Roy

Brooks did his part to shut down the Mountaineer offense, working 7.0 innings while only giving up two earned runs on five hits.

Sophomore shor tstop Taylor Munden provided a bright spot for the Mountaineer offense, going 2-3 on the day with a double, a walk, a run batted in and a run scored.

Senior Dan Dierdorff pitched a gem for the Mountaineers, throwing a complete game without surrendering an earned run in the 2-1 WVU victory.

The senior from Mount Wolf, Pa., struck out five Liberty batters while only surrendering five hits during his nine innings of work.

WVU drops two of three during weekend

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

by meghan carr sports writer

The West Virginia University women’s soccer team competed against Pittsburgh, Ohio State and St. Francis (Pa.) this weekend, winning one match of three and making the Mountaineers 2-2 in spring play.

The Mountaineers defeated Pittsburgh 1-0 Saturday in the first 45-minute match and lost to Ohio State 1-0 in the second 45-minute match in Pittsburgh.

In the Pittsburgh game, freshman midfielder Amanda Hill scored on a header after a corner kick from sophomore Kate Schwindel sent the ball into the box.

These were Ohio State’s final two games of its spring season, and the Buckeyes proved a little too difficult for the Mountaineers to adjust to. Associate head coach Lisa Stoia said it was a little difficult for her team to play one half against one style and play the next half against a different style.

Ohio State forward Kristen Niederhaus was left unmatched in the Mountaineer box and slipped the ball past sophomore goalie Sara Keane, scoring the decisive goal and putting the Buckeyes up 1-0.

Ohio State won a 2-0 decision against Pittsburgh in the third game.

The Mountaineers did not have a happy homecoming as they lost to St. Francis Sunday 2-1.

“I think we beat ourselves today,” Stoia said.

She was filling in for head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown while she assists with National Team training this week.

The Mountaineers couldn’t keep up with the faster legs of St. Francis. Stoia said fatigue is a big part of it.

“I’m not one to make excuses, but I think this team coming off playing two tough teams yesterday, and then being low in numbers, I think it’s always hard and tiring,” Stoia said.

Several defensive mistakes from the Mountaineers allowed St. Francis to quickly take control of the game. Stoia said inexperi-

ence and youth could be part of the reason for the defensive lapse today.

“I think, sometimes, we get caught in transition, and it’s a very young backline with not a lot of experience playing together, so there is always going to be breakdowns, and that is something we will work on in training to get them better,” Stoia said. “We prepare all week long for these type of things, and we’ll address these breakdowns this week.”

St. Francis struck first with 10 minutes left in the first half.

Another defensive mistake allowed St. Francis to score just three minutes into the second half, but two minutes later sophomore Kate Schwindel scored the only goal for the Mountaineers.

There were still mistakes made throughout the game, but Stoia said she is happy with the effort she saw in the second half.

“What I told the team at halftime is I’m not worried about certain breakdowns that we had, in reference to what St. Francis was able to do,” Stoia said. “I was more concerned with tak-

ing care of West Virginia Soccer. I like what I saw from them in the second half, as far as effort goes. I think we just need to come back this week and mentally regroup.”

Stoia will continue to coach in Izzo-Brown’s absence. Izzo-Brown is currently helping with the U.S. U-20 National team training camp in Carson, California.

Mountaineers draw a tie on road against Pitt by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia men’s soccer team traveled to face a former Big East Conference foe, the Pittsburgh Panthers, Saturday night at the Petersen Sports Complex.

The Mountaineers entered the game with a 1-1 record in the spring season.

WVU defeated Navy last weekend after falling to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL Pro League.

West Virginia (1-1-0) and Pitt played to a 0-0 final. Despite playing well in long stages of the game, the Mountaineers’ lingering problems of finishing scoring opportunities came into play again.

The Mountaineers have never officially fallen to Pitt in head coach Marlon LeBlanc’s tenure at WVU. West Virginia ended the Backyard Brawl on a 13-year unbeaten

SPECIAL NOTICES

streak.

“It’s more than just a namesake that makes a rivalry. We’ve been pretty much the dominant force in this rivalry for the entire length of it. I think, if anything, our guys got a taste of what it’s like to go on the road and deal with a team that was trying to break things up and disrupt things,” he said.

LeBlanc added that some of his guys were able to face some tactics and challenges they are not accustomed to in a regular-season game.

“I thought they responded well,” he said. “There were a couple nasty challenges that our guys were very much prepared to step to the forefront and defend each other and play for each other.

They played very well, representing the shirt on the road, dealing with some of those obstacles and circumstances.”

WVU was able to gain

many chances through its solid attack all afternoon.

Its best chance came when senior forward Jay Williams was able to get the ball into the net, but the officials ruled him offsides.

“We created some really good chances, and we felt that, with some better finishing, we could have had the game put away in the first five or 10 minutes,” LeBlanc said. “We played very, very well; we were just unlucky on the scoring end. I don’t think it’s a question if whether or not we’re going to create them (scoring chances) or finish them.”

West Virginia will continue its spring season on the road when it travels to play St. Francis next weekend. The Mountaineers will look to win their first game away from Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this spring season.

It was a busy weekend for the West Virginia University volleyball team as it played three sets each against William & Mary, University of Virginia and George Mason.

WVU managed to go 2-1 with every team it faced.

“It was a long week. We started practice on Tuesday and worked more on technique on Friday,” said WVU head coach Jill Kramer. “We still need to work on things we can control. We need to be able to put the ball where we want it, too, and be strong at the left-side attacker position.”

The Mountaineers came out strong against William & Mary, winning the opening two sets by a score of 25-20 and 25-16, but the Tribe capitalized on errors from West Virginia in the third set and managed to come away with a 12-15 victory.

WVU came out strong again in its second match of the day against George Mason, picking up the first set by a score of 25-21. GMU started to find their groove in the second set and blasted the Mountaineers 25-18.

Coach Kramer got her group

to bounce back in the third set bouncing the Patriots 15-8.

“We had a slow start in the second set, but we continued to play as a team in the third set and managed to come away with a victory,” Kramer said.

The final match of the weekend came against Virginia, where West Virginia

shot out of the gate strong and picked up the first set 25-18. The Cavaliers would bounce back in the second due to communication errors and even the match at one. The volleyball team finished its weekend strong by rallying in the third set to complete the sweep by a score of 25-21.

“This is the best I have

seen us play this year,” Kramer said. “When we play as a team, we look like one of the best teams out there right now.”

The volleyball team will continue practicing throughout the week as they prepare to take on George Washington and old rival Marshall. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Man City beats Chelsea 2-1 to reach FA Cup final LONDON (AP) — Manchester City reached the FA Cup final by beating defending champion Chelsea 2-1 in a free-flowing game at Wembley on Sunday.

Goals by Samir Nasri in the 35th minute and Sergio Aguero in the 47th built a 2-0 lead, and Demba Ba pulled the Blues back into the game with an acrobatic finish in the 66th. Ba wasted his team’s best chance to tie it when he fired straight at goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon from close range minutes later.

“It is another great day for the club,” City captain Vincent Kompany said.

“We never doubted the fact that we wanted to win trophies. This was an important game and it will be an even more important game in the final against Wigan.

That is what we are looking forward to now.”

City will be a huge favorite in the May 11 final against Wigan, which beat Millwall 2-0 on Saturday. Chelsea beat Liverpool in last year’s final, but its only hope for a trophy is now in the Europa League, where it has reached the semifinals.

A day after Wigan’s victory was marred by Millwall fans fighting in the stands at Wembley, City and Chelsea combined to put the focus firmly back on soccer as they produced an entertaining end-to-end game played at a relentless pace.

The opening goal was set up by a run by Yaya Toure, who found Aguero free in the area. The Argentine laid off the ball to Nasri, who tried to play a 1-2 with Aguero — only for

Many fans were still making their way back to their seats after the halftime break when Gareth Barry sent a cross into the

area and Aguero rose to put in a looping header off the post.

Just seconds after manager Rafa Benitez put in Fernando Torres as an extra attacking threat, Ba met a high bouncing ball in the area, turned in the air and sent a shot past a diving

Pantilimon.

In the Premier League, Manchester United won 2-0 at Stoke, getting a goal from Michael Carrick in the fourth minute and a penalty kick by Robin van Persie in the 66th after the Dutch forward was fouled

by Andy Wilkinson.

Closing on a record 20th English league title, United (26-4-2) opened a 15-point lead over second-place Manchester City (19-4-8), the defending champion.

Stephan Sessegnon, Adam Johnson and David Vaughan scored spectacular goals to give Sunder-

land a 3-0 win at Newcastle, Paolo Di Canio’s first victory as manager. Sunderland (8-15-10) moved three points clear of 18thplace Wigan, which has 31 and is in the relegation zone along with Queens Park Rangers and Reading (24 points each).

Trey Burke leaving Michigan early for NBA draft ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — The time was right for Trey Burke.

The Michigan star made it official Sunday: He’s leaving the Wolverines to enter the NBA draft. The move came as no surprise after Burke was voted The

Associated Press national player of the year and led Michigan to the NCAA title game as a sophomore.

Burke also considered going to the NBA a year ago, but he came back for another season. Now he departs with his stock

seemingly peaking.

“I just felt like this was the best opportunity for me,” Burke said. “It’s an opportunity that I’ve always wanted.”

The 6-foot point guard averaged 18.6 points and 6.7 assists per game in

2012-13. He made perhaps the most memorable shot of the NCAA tournament, a long 3-pointer in the final seconds against Kansas that sent that regional semifinal to overtime.

Michigan made the Final Four for the first time since

We are looking for cheerleaders for the 2013 -2014 Cheer Team!

1993, and in the championship game against Louisville, Burke scored 24 points in a losing effort.

Burke nearly left the Wolverines after his freshman season but decided to stay. Expectations were high at Michigan after his return, and the Wolverines lived up to them – in part because Burke’s future never seemed to be a distraction.

“He came back with really a fire in his belly to improve his game,” coach John Beilein said. “He just went to work. There wasn’t one time that I felt that he was playing for the NBA and not playing for Michigan.”

Once the season ended, it would have been shocking if Burke came back again. The main question for Michigan is how many other players the Wolverines might lose. Junior Tim Hardaway Jr. and freshmen Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III are also considered candidates to turn pro.

Burke’s teammates were on hand for his announcement Sunday, but they weren’t available to reporters. The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft is April 28.

Burke didn’t need much time. His case was pretty clear cut.

“I really felt, knowing Trey the way I know him, that this decision was going to be an easy one for him,” Beilein said. “We

have always wanted young men to come back with both feet in, and making sure that those other opportunities – if they were there – that he was ready for it. We felt, both ways, that this was his time.”

Burke took over as Michigan’s point guard as a freshman – after Darius Morris had gone pro following his sophomore season. Now Michigan faces the same scenario. Incoming recruit Derrick Walton Jr. may have a chance to run the team right away, and Spike Albrecht – who scored 17 points in the title game – is also expected back after backing up Burke.

“A lot of our guys are going to have to step up, and we have no doubt that they will,” Beilein said. “There are big footsteps to fill, but we feel very strongly that we have the guys that can really assist us in that.”

Burke leaves after bringing Michigan back to heights the program hadn’t enjoyed in some time. In 2012, the Wolverines tied for their first regular-season Big Ten title since 1986.

After that, Burke decided to stick around for another year, and Michigan made it all the way to the national championship game.

“Last year, the advice I was getting, I didn’t really realize how true it would be until I came back,” Burke said. “It was a great decision.”

the Morehead State Eagles Tuesday at 6 p.m.

The Eagles will come into the matchup struggling as they have lost 12 games in a row, dropping their overall record to 9-27.

With a weekend series at Texas looming after their date with Morehead State, coach Randy Mazey may very well give the starting nod to Zach Bargeron or Brock Dykhoorn in an effort to preserve the top three in the rotation for the team’s return to Big 12 play.
