City Council appoints new manager

By Carlee Lammers City Editor

West Virginia University students and other community members who start malicious fires could face heightened fines for the felony.

During Tuesday’s regularly scheduled Morgantown City Council, members unanimously amended a previous fire code and malicious burning ordinance, passed February 19.

“We made some changes to this ordinance to in-

crease the fine for malicious burning,” said city manager Jeff Mikorski The maximum fine for malicious burning has been increased to $2,000, contingent upon a judge’s assessment of the case. Previously, fire-starters could have faced up to a $1,000 fine, which is now the minimum penalty for the offense.

During the meeting, council members also voted to appoint interim city manager Jeff Mikorski to take on the position full-time.

In January, former city manager Terrance Moore resigned from the position as he accepted the opportunity to serve as the city manager of College Park, Ga. Mikorski has served in the position since Moore’s departure from the city.

“I think Mr. Mikorski will make an excellent city manager. From what I’ve seen, seeing him out in the field and working with his employees ... I think he will serve the city very well in the years to come,” said

Deputy Mayor and third ward councilor Wes Nugent. “Things are very bright for the city of Morgantown, and I’m optimistic that we’ll continue to grow under the leadership he will provide.”

Mikorski said he was excited for the opportunity to continue serving the city and grateful for the continued efforts by the council members.

“I appreciate the opportunity to continue to serve the city of Morgantown in this position. Thank you very much,” he said.

Sixth ward councilor Bill Byrne said he has worked with Mikorski for several years, and he said is thrilled to continue working together throughout the duration of his term.

“I’ve worked with (him) for almost 14 years in various capacities. I’m very confident in the work (he) will do,” Byrne said. “I wanted to say to you that the city manager form of government is the most important thing we have in the city and is a large part in our success.”

Fashion show at Erickson Alumni Center highlights student talent by madison fleck staff writer

You don’t have to go to New York to be a part of the fashion world. Yesterday, West Virginia University’s Division of Design & Merchandising hosted the Day of Design at the WVU Erickson Alumni Center.

Interior design students presented their capstone projects, and dresses made by previous fashion design students were on display, although the day was dedicated to all junior and senior students in interior design, fashion design and merchandising.

“Getting to come together with the fashion people is really nice,” said Maria Belcher, a senior interior design student. “We display the best of the best, and it’s great for outside people to get to come in and see what the Division of Design & Merchandising is doing.”

Students in the fashion show production course, FDM 493A, put on the fashion show. Professors Angela Dial and Debbie Christel teach the course and gave each student a specific role in the fashion show.

“It was a job interview type of deal,” said Stephanie Dobbin, producer of the fashion show and WVU fashion design and merchandising student. “We sent them our resumes and our cover letters and told them why we thought we’d be best for the job.”

The class was separated into 15 committees, including the producer position Dobbin earned.

“We get to oversee everything,” Dobbin said. “We stay in constant contact with the coordinators and all the members of the class and make sure everything runs smoothly.”

WVU wins BNCollege social media award

By Jacob Bojesson Correspondent

According to a recent competition, no university communicates with students and alumni through social media better than West Virginia University.

WVU was presented with a Shorty Award in the #BNCollege category at a ceremony in New York City April 8.

The Shorty Awards recognize individuals and organizations for the way they engage through social media.

The #BNCollege category is sponsored by Barnes & No-

ble and is awarded to the university that most effectively uses social media to drive campus engagement with students, faculty and the entire campus community, while celebrating the school’s authentic spirit and attitude.

WVU Bookstore manager David Lang was made aware of the award in October and said he started campaigning with University Relations to get WVU nominated.

“I thought it was natural for WVU to at least be competitive in this category if not win it just from knowing all the things that they do with

A group of public relations students will host a benefit fundraiser at the Fondue Factory Wednesday night 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 large amount of funds needed to cover Diviney’s continuous medical care, numerous fundraisers are coordinated each year at WVU to raise money for his family.

Camron Vagheei, a senior public relations student, said his capstone class, PR 459, decided to host this fundraiser as their capstone project to help keep people aware of Diviney’s story.

“We are doing this to help Ryan’s family and to help keep awareness in the community about the situation,” Vagheei said.

“Our graduating class is the last class that was here when it happened, so we are trying to keep people aware of the situation and ways to prevent it from happening again.”

According to the Ryan’s Rally website, Ryan was recently accepted into a state-of-the-art treatment program for brain injuries.

Vagheei said the group hopes the money raised can help the Diviney family pay for Ryan’s extended medical care.

“We are told that Ryan is starting to make some progress, so that’s promising,” he said. “With Ryan being accepted into the program for brain injuries, it’s really encouraging but also very expensive.

“We hope that the more money we can donate, the more help he and his family can receive.”

The group will also be present in the Mountainlair Wednesday 10 a.m.-3 p.m. for students to sign a banner that will be presented to the Diviney family.

Additionally, the group will be selling raffle tickets for $1 each. The drawing for items donated from local businesses will take place at the fundraiser.

The Fondue Factory will donate 15 percent of all sales from 6-10 p.m. directly to Ryan’s Rally.

Yura said collegiate recovery communities are being formed at colleges and universities throughout the United States, as the number of individuals ages 18-24 who have experienced inpatient programs has increased 141 percent from 1999-2009.

Yura said even universities within the Big 12 Conference, such as Texas Tech, have initiated successful programs for more than 25 years.

And WVU has been no different, according to Yura. Students across campus are showing interest and need for WVU to expand upon its existing recovery programs.

American cancels all US flights for several hours DALLAS (AP) — A computer system used to run many daily operations at American Airlines failed Tuesday, forcing the nation’s third-largest carrier to ground all flights across the United States for several hours and stranding thousands of frustrated passengers at airports and on planes.

Flights already in the air were allowed to continue to their destinations, but planes on the ground from coast to coast could not take off. And travelers could do little to get back in the air until the computer system was restored.

American blamed its reservation system, which is used for much more than booking flights. Airlines

commonly rely on such systems to track passengers and bags, update flight schedules and gate assignments and file flight plants.

The computers also help determine how much fuel to put in an aircraft or which seats should be filled to balance a plane.

The failure caused cascading delays and cancelations nationwide.

American and sister airline American Eagle had canceled 970 flights and delayed at least 1,068 more by early evening Tuesday, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware.com.

The outage began in midmorning and stretched into the afternoon. The systems were fixed by 4:30 p.m., airline spokeswoman Stacey

Frantz said.

But even as some flights took off, the airline expected delays and cancellations to persist for the rest of the day.

At airports, customers whose flights were canceled couldn’t rebook on a later flight. Passengers already at the airport were stuck in long lines or killed time in gate areas.

“Tensions are high. A lot of people are getting mad.

I’ve seen several yelling at the American agents,” said Julie Burch, a businessmeeting speaker who was stuck at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport waiting for a flight to Denver. “Nobody can tell us anything.”

Terry Anzur, a TV news consultant from Los Ange-

les who was also stranded in Dallas, said American Airlines gate employees were doing everything the oldfashioned, manual way because their computers were useless.

“No one at the counter can do anything. They can’t check people in,” Anzur said. “The airline is at a dead halt.”

Theoretically, an airline could manually do the same work as the reservation system for any one flight. But doing it for hundreds of flights isn’t practical.

“There was a time when an airline could fly without a reservation system, but those days for the most part are past,” said Scott Nason, American’s former technology chief and now a

Continued from page 1 campuses, and we want to understand the needs of our WVU community,” she said.

“Collegiate recovery communities provide a supportive environment on campus that supports the decision to disengage from addictive behaviors.”

Yura said WELLWVU values student and faculty input as they will be the ones it serves.

Beginning today, WELLWVU will be conducting focus groups in the Mountainlair’s Cacapon room at 5 p.m. in an effort to better understand WVU students’ recovery needs.

Other focus groups will be conducted Thursday in the John Jones room A at 5

p.m. and Friday in the Jean Benson Lounge at 5 p.m.

“Today, we understand the importance of recovery oriented systems of care for students who have received treatment from addictions.

We want to understand the needs of our WVU community as we develop our recovery program,” Yura said.

“We invite individuals who are in recovery or know of someone who is in recovery to join one of the three focus groups on campus, to provide feedback on what programs or resources WVU can provide to assist students who are battling addiction.”

circuit that disabled substantial parts of the system, Nason said.

Passengers used social media to flood the airline with complaints. The airline tweeted back that it was working to fix the problem and apologized for the inconvenience.

To make amends, American offered to book people who needed to travel Tuesday on other airlines and pay for the fare difference.

For those who wanted to delay their trips, American offered refunds or waivers from the usual fee for changing a reservation.

But for several hours, the airline wasn’t able to process changes and refunds because of the computer failure.

consultant.

If their reservation systems go down, “most airlines would be pretty much without the ability to fly more than a very limited number of flights,” he added.

Such system crashes are rare in the airline industry but not unheard-of.

During nearly 29 years at American, Nason recalled maybe one failure every few years. While airlines can fix whatever caused the problem last time, “each time it’s something different.”

Continued from page 1 This year, the theme of the show was “Wild and Wonderful” in celebration of West Virginia’s 150th anniversary.

“They all interpret the theme differently,” Dobbin said. “There’s one line that is essentially a clock, so each piece represents a different time, and there’s another designer that had hers going off

of a fire theme.”

One of the designers, Sara Dyer, took inspiration from coal’s transformation from mineral to diamond.

“I took ‘wild’ to be natural and natural to mean raw, so I went to raw diamonds, and those are pretty but they’re not inspiring,” she said. “I’d rather be inspired by something pretty and make it dirty.”

Dyer dyed her fabric by hand so it mimicked coal’s

transformation. Her first piece was dark and dirty and her last piece was bright and beautiful.

John Rutter Hair Solutions donated stylists to do hair and makeup for all the models in the show. The students fundraised to compensate for other costs of the event.

“We have a fundraising team who asked ten businesses in Morgantown to be part of our discount card,

which we sold for $10,” Dobbin said. “We raised over $1000 and were able to go ahead and order the stage and decorations.”

Dobbin said the class provides a great opportunity for students.

“It really shows that our class has such a passion for success, and we’re all really excited about it,” Dobbin said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Underground sound: The newest releases in underground music

“Vanishing Point�

Mudhoney

“The Messenger�

Johnny Marr

ÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤ

“Push the Sky Away�

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

ÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤ

ÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤÂŤ ÂŤ

Legendary Seattle grunge-rockers Mudhoney have released “Vanishing Point,� their ninth studio album and first album since 2008.

It is refreshing to hear an album from guys in their 50s who sound like they are throwing caution to the wind and having as much fun as they did when they recorded their first album almost 25 years ago. “Vanishing Point� is a collection of 10 rock songs with a very dry, straightforward production. These songs revolve around a simple and often humorous concept.

The album ventures into some uncharted territory for Mudhoney with the addition of some new musical elements, such as the funky clarinet on “What To Do With The Neutral� and the psychedelictinged Hammond organ and tambourine crescendo of “I Like It Small.�

Their unique sense of humor is present on songs such as “I Don’t Remember You,� a narrative about not remembering people you meet while shopping in a grocery store, and “In This Rubber Tomb,� where lead vocalist Mark Arm repeatedly declares, “There is no place like home,� only to eventually say, “I never want to go home again.�

Mudhoney rocked the world with “Touch Me I’m Sick� in 1988. And in 2013, they are showing they can still rock just as hard and heavy as ever with this new release.

Key Tracks “Slipping Away,� “I Like It Small�

Former Smiths guitarist and architect of the indie rock sound Johnny Marr decided to take a break from helping out other amazing bands (Talking Heads, The Pretenders and Pet Shop Boys to name a few) to release a solo album.

Listeners who go into this album expecting the “lost�

Smiths album might a little disappointed, because this does not play as a Smiths album – it plays as a Marr album.

Of course, Marr can’t totally escape the comparison, just like George Harrison couldn’t escape the Beatles. And songs like “Sun & Moon� and “European Me� definitely sound like they belong to the Smiths’ era. “Words Start Attack� is a sharp rock number that brings to mind The Strokes circa “Room on Fire,� for those readers who can remember when Julian Casablancas ruled the world.

The title track, “The Messenger,� grooves on a pretty sweet bass line; you may not dance to it, but it’s hard not to bob your head as it thumps along.

At the end of the day, “The Messenger� is a balancing act between the type of music everyone expects of Marr from his days in The Smiths and his musical growth since leaving it.

Fans of The Smiths will find the jangly guitars they fell in love with all those years ago, and those who know only modern rock will find a well-crafted springboard into the past.

Even if it’s not one of the best albums of the year, “The Messenger� is certainly a gem worth checking out.

Key Tracks: “The Messenger,� “Words Start Attack,� “Upstarts�

“Push the Sky Away,� the 15th – yes, 15th – studio album from Australian alternative-rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is filled with rich, disturbing imagery, dizzying soundscapes and a true theater of the mind.

The simple instrumentation and song structure allows Cave’s lyrics to shine, no matter how dark his words become. “We No Who U R,� the lead track and first single from the album, is a gentle introduction to a world that is fleshed out in the rest of the tracks. Beautifully simple, the song offers something new with each replay, and listeners will come back to this one to discover something hidden and unique. “Jubilee Street,� the second single from the album, is neither downtrodden nor uplifted – it’s a confusing mix of the two delivered in a diary entry about a woman and a hypocritical society.

My personal favorite track, the tense “Water’s Edge,� has the hushed feel of a torch-lit meeting of conspirators in some exotic eastern location. The lyrics seem taken from the moral zealotry of camp meetings on the American frontier, weaving a cautionary tale of temptation.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds aren’t for light, passive listening, and this album won’t be for everyone.

Still, those who listen to “Push the Sky Away� will be exposed to an impressive body of work that stimulates some deep thinking.

Key Tracks: “We No Who U R,� “Jubilee Street�

Summer is right around the corner.

Winding down the semester As the spring semester winds down, the increasingly pleasant weather and the prospect of a summer-long vacation on the horizon create an attractive urge for students to lose focus in their academic endeavors.

Only a week and a half stands between West Virginia University students and the universally dreaded dead week. For many, this week is when final papers, presentations, and projects are due. Stack that on top of the need for students to be preparing for finals throughout that week, and it is easy to see how this time of the semester can overwhelm even the most assiduous of

students.

Thus it is easy to see why University students can ill afford to let up at this critical juncture.

If you’ve yet to give your best effort thus far, now would be a good time to improve your study habits and renew your focus to make that final push before final examinations.

If the opportunity is available, take advantage of extra credit assignments and attempt to catch up in class readings and course material – such moves might be the difference in making that “C” grade a “B.’” Use the next few weeks to form

study groups, seek help from tutors in subjects with which you struggle or to take a trip to the WVU Writing Center for help with term papers and essays.

Also, check and then doublecheck your finals schedule.

This is imperative.

While times for final examinations are typically listed in the syllabus for each class, the Web site for the Office of the University Registrar includes the schedule for all examinations, though, you may want to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of military time.

And regardless of your housing situation, be courteous to your

neighbors in the coming weeks.

Weeknight parties should be kept at a minimum, as your own revelry shouldn’t supersede your neighbor’s sleep, especially with that 8 a.m. final in biochemistry the next morning.

Students should not feel guilty about asking neighbors to keep the noise down. If those individuals don’t comply, contact your landlord, property manager, resident assistant or even the police.

Keep these things in mind as we head into the final weeks of the school year.

The sexism of sex: why girls give it and guys get it molly robinson columnist

There is little I despise more than feminism.

But even though I don’t agree with a majority of what the feminist movement supports – so much so that there may or may not be another opinion column in the works – there was one statement made by a feminist friend of mine that really stuck with me.

It was during a conversation about the ever-popular birth control debate when my friend mentioned

how strange it was that in today’s society, sex is still viewed as a give-and-take thing.

I inquired a little more into what she meant – mostly because I couldn’t care less about the hot button birth control issue, and she said that even in the 21st century, it’s the guy who “gets some” and the girl who has to “give it up.”

Furthermore, she mentioned that a girl “loses” her virginity while a guy is the one who gets to “take” it.

My friend went off on another spiel about the lack of women in the Senate while my mind drifted.

Everyone’s heard about the dreaded “double standard.” In a nutshell, a girl is easy if she puts out too much but a prude if she doesn’t, while a guy who gets some action is hailed as a champion of sorts but merely a loser if he takes it slow.

I could easily go on and on about how misguided this belief is, how these ancient ideals are lost in today’s world, but that would be – dare I say it – too feminist of me.

But the act, in and of itself, something that is (usually) only shared between two people, is of more interest to me.

Even in a sexual relationship, where both partners are hopefully giving and receiving love, affection and general satisfaction from one another, there is an obvious dynamic maintained outside the bedroom.

To unravel this inconsistency, I asked some of my guy friends what they thought.

“It’s because it’s a given that a guy would want to have sex,” one friend offered, “but girls are different. If two people have sex, it’s dependent on the girl agreeing to it. So in that sense, a guy succeeds in getting the girl and ‘gets

some’ as a result.”

While this seems like a pretty valid idea, it still stands to question why a girl must necessarily “lose” this battle of the sexes.

“Well, it’s not that the girl loses,” another male friend explained to me.

“It’s more like she gives it up because she owns it; she has the power to decide whether the two have sex, and the guy doesn’t.”

So, there you go; from a male’s point of view, it’s not that guys disrespect a girl by referring to her “giving it up” or any other seemingly derogator y terminology.

It’s simply that girls hold

most of the power when it comes to the decision to have sex. Girls are usually the limiting factor to a sexual relationship, and when they finally do choose to have sex, a guy is (typically) more than willing to oblige.

So, in the end, the overblown idea that women who have sex are degraded by the casual way we as a society talk about it is misguided. In fact, the exact opposite is true: women hold a whole bunch of cards they may not even know about, answering Beyonce’s age-old question of “who run the world?” with a resounding, “girls.”

Mayor Bloomberg: food fascist or health advocate?

Michael Pickert Guest columnist

Last month, Mayor Bloomberg’s groundbreaking yet controversial law to prohibit the sale of supersized sugar-laden drinks was struck down by a New York judge.

The administration intends to appeal, stating that it has the authority to tackle the causes of obesity because upwards of 5,000 New Yorkers per year die as a direct result. This is the latest public health ini-

tiative by the Mayor as he tries to improve the city’s residents well-being.

Prior efforts included restrictions on smoking, getting restaurants to post calorie counts, barring foods with high trans-fatty acids and encouraging restaurateurs to use less salt. Does the Mayor’s most recent move constitute Food Fascism or are they just Really Good Ideas?

Statistically, one out of every three Americans is defined as being obese.

It feels like almost everyone has tried to diet at one

time or another which has led to continued growth in the thriving weight loss industry.

Unfortunately, despite spending billions of dollars per year, most people fail in their battle against weight gain. This has sparked a Food Fascist movement of weight loss advocates, like Mayor Bloomberg, who want to take some control over your life. “Starting tomorrow, everything changes: You will do this and you won’t do that. Okay, that sounds good and it will cut

down on the calorie intake of a small percentage of people. However, is there a better way to approach weight loss?

Fortunately there is. Instead of trying to exert control over New Yorkers’ eating habits, there is a less radical solution available.

As with many problems, it starts with better long term nutritional education, in this case demonstrating where in your diet you are consuming excessive energy content, or calories.

Knowing where these pitfalls are and then cutting

Simple substitutions are available that will substantially lower your calories without a sharp reduction in portions. As most obese people know, it’s the loss of portion size and subsequent feelings of deprivation that are the critical determinants of weight loss failure.

However, with just some basic facts residents of New York can eat health-

ier and diet more effectively by learning which foods are hurting them the most and then eating less of them. Food Fascism is thus replaced by knowledge and common sense, resulting in a far more desirable goal of dieting and nutrition.

How does this practical approach tie into Mayor Bloomberg’s edict?

Though legislating away super-sized drinks may be a good idea, it would be far more useful and longerlasting to teach the people of New York why.

Morgantown Sound relocates, delivers

Meet Me in the Matinee performs a set for Morgantown Sound Monday evening at the U92FM studio.

Lacey Palmer Associate a&e editor

Although there was a scheduling conflict with the Gluck Theatre Monday evening, West Virginia University’s student radio station, U92 FM, was still able to host their weekly radio show, Morgantown Sound.

This week, the show featured Logan County, W.Va., indie rock group, Meet Me in the Matinee.

“The band drove from Logan County, out of their pocket, and we felt obligated to honor that despite the scheduling conflict,” said Alec Berry, director of Morgantown Sound. “We just used what we had, which is what we’re good at at U92.”

Caleb Luther, vocalist and guitarist of Meet Me in the Matinee, said the group was excited for their first performance in Morgantown.

“Right now, I think playing in Huntington and Charleston is the best shot we have,” Luther said. “We’re doing pretty good there, but hopefully the name spreads in Morgantown.”

With obvious similarities to Jimmy Eat World, Radiohead and The Killers, the group does not shy away from other genres, and it mixes in heavier rock, creating a unique style all their own.

“I love Elliot Smith’s guitar chord structure, and even though it’s mostly acoustic, I like to work it

into a lot of our songs,” Luther said. “We like Cursive and Brand New a lot, and I think classic-rock bands help us with the progressive side of our music, and you always have The Beatles for the poppy elements.”

“Once A Coward” showcased the group’s intense energy, while “Even Us” displayed seamless tempo changes – two characteristics that help Meet Me in The Matinee stand out from other groups in the area.

“While a lot of other bands try to make a specific sound a lot of people have heard, we try to take a bunch of different elements and put them together while still having lyrics people can relate to,” Luther said. “Even though the lyrics may seem a little deranged or crazy at first, if you listen to it over and over, you can relate to the songs and the music style of it all.”

The group formed in 2008 when Luther and drummer Nathan Bush started playing music together in high school.

“I played a lot of basketball, and basketball season was over, so I decided to start a band with him, because he’d always been bugging me about starting a band,” Luther said. “We played for about a year, then we found two more members.”

After guitarist Christopher Workman and bassist/vocalist Josh Brown were added, the group began to really hit its stride.

The group’s first full-

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

length album, “Real or Fantasy,” was released in January 2012 after a ninemonth effort, Luther said.

“It sucked, because it was a lot of hard work, but we wouldn’t go every week, because it’s a really expensive process,” he said.

“We’d usually go about once or twice a month.”

According to Luther, the hardest part about making the record was trying to make sure every aspect, especially the timing, was perfect.

“When you get to vocals and stuff, it’s easy after that,” Luther said. “It’s a grueling experience, but I think it’s worth it at the end of the day.”

The group’s newest song, “Head Box,” which they premiered during Monday night’s show, sends this same message.

“The song ’s pretty straightfor ward, even though it’s chaotic,” Luther said. “It’s hard playing in a band, but at the end of the day, it’s worthwhile, and that’s what the song’s about.”

“Head Box” will be featured on the group’s upcoming EP, which they plan to work on more during the summer while also playing shows.

For those interested in catching Meet Me in the Matinee in the near future, the group will be playing May 19 at the V CLUB in Huntington, W.Va. Editor’s note: In the interest of full disclosure, Alec Berry is the web editor at The Daily Athenaeum. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Smith can be good fit Moore adjusting to in many NFL schemes move to receiver

After beginning the spring as a quarterback, Logan Moore has moved to wide receiver heading into Saturday’s spring game.

Former West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith celebrates with fans following WVU’s win against Kansas last season.

BY GREG MADIA Multimedia editor

There’s about a week until from the NFL draft, which means it is the time of year when everyone releases their mock draft. As mock drafts change leading up to the draft, seeing how a player fits with an NFL franchise.

Former West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith has been projected to land anywhere from the second overall pick with the Jacksonville Jaguars to the ninth pick with the New York Jets.

Smith will likely be the first quarterback off the board and a top-15 pick.

Trying to fit Smith somewhere isn’t easy to do.

Starting with the basics, Smith will fit best within a franchise that has a quarterback situation in flux. For him, Jacksonville, Oakland, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Arizona, Buffalo and New York are the ideal landing spots. \ Now, both Oakland and Buffalo made moves during the offseason to bolster their quarterback situation; Oakland traded for Matt Flynn while Buffalo brought in Kevin Kolb, so we can eliminate those options. That leaves five teams in the top 10 as possible fits for Smith.

Smith’s potential fit with the Jaguars depends on if Jacksonville’s front office is ready to move on from Blaine Gabbert. A new general manager (David Caldwell), a new head coach (Gus Bradley) along with a new play caller (Jedd Fisch) will make that decision, and all three were in attendance at Smith’s pro day in Morgantown.

Ryan O’Halloran, Jacksonville Jaguars beat writer for The Florida Times, feels the decision to elect Smith over Gabbert won’t come until draft night.

“We’ll know for sure about 8:15 p.m. on April 25 when Roger Goodell announces the Jaguars pick inside Radio City Music Hall,” O’Halloran said. “If it’s Geno Smith striding to the podium wearing a Jacksonville cap, then it is almost certainly over for Blaine Gabbert.”

Similarly, in Philadelphia, with Chip Kelly taking over for Andy Reid as head coach,

Continued from page 10 leader,” Samara said. “The best programs, there’s leadership from probably all the players in different ways.

“I’m not concerned at all with that. I think we have some kids here who will provide that, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we bring some kids in who provide (leadership).”

Leadership is a key attribute Samara looks for while recruiting, especially

the Eagles at No. 4 overall have been talked about as a likely match for Smith.

The problem, of course, is that Philadelphia has three quarterbacks on the roster.

They re-signed Michael Vick, Nick Foles is in his second season and added Dennis Dixon.

Because Kelly and owner Jeffery Lurie flew out to Morgantown to privately work out Smith, some feel that garners significant attention.

The last time that Lurie went to visit a prospect was prior to the 1999 draft when he visited Donovan McNabb.

“I don’t think Vick would have been re-signed if ownership hadn’t wanted it,” said Les Bowen, the Eagles beat writer for the Philadelphia Daily News. “I saw (Jeffery) Lurie going to Morgantown as an indication of how important this fourth overall pick is to the team’s future.

It also might have been an attempt to convince teams drafting behind the Eagles that they need to trade for the fourth pick if they want to draft Smith.”

In Cleveland, Brandon Weeden was a first-round pick last season out of Oklahoma State. But again, new front office personnel and a new head coach take center stage.

The owner, Jimmy Haslam, and CEO Joe Banner have already made significant change in Cleveland by hiring Rob Chudzinski as head coach.

Chudzinski, the former Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator, took Cam Newton during his rookie year and molded him into the 2011 Rookie of the Year.

So if there is a guy that can mold a rookie quarterback, it is Chudzinski. Considering Cleveland has the sixth pick, it is in an interesting spot where it could draw trade offers and take Smith a little later in the first round.

“For a team picking where they are, the big issue is going to be quarterback. If they don’t feel Weeden is the guy, Jason Campbell is the journeyman backup now, do you look at Geno Smith? It depends on their feeling on Geno Smith and how they feel about Weeden,” said ESPN Draft Analyst Mel because of the program’s youth.

“Since we’re still building, and trying to change the culture here, it’s always going to be a confident kid who wants to work hard, who understands we’re going to have a very tough schedule every year they’re here,” Samara said. “(Someone who) looks forward to that schedule.

That’s not afraid of that schedule, but wants to be tested. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Kiper Jr. “So, if they’re not high on Weeden, they like Geno Smith, you can move down off of six. You’re going to get offers. Who’s going to represent a left tackle? You could end up maybe getting Geno Smith at a more palatable spot in the first round.”

As for Arizona and the Jets, both teams have major problems at quarterback.

The Cardinals started four different guys in 2012, and the Jets, frankly, are a mess.

Arizona has many needs, though, not just a quarterback. So, they could go elsewhere whereas, the Jets with Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow and company are in dire need of some sanity at the position.

So, if Smith falls to nine, it wouldn’t be shocking if owner Woody Johnson, drafted Smith.

The NFL Draft is April 25 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, where Geno Smith will likely be drafted by one of the above mentioned franchises. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

With the spring practice session winding down and the spring game fast approaching, redshirt junior and Fairmont State transfer Logan Moore will use the offseason as an opportunity to perfect his new craft at the wide receiver position.

Making the switch from quarterback, the position he has played his entire career, Moore will look to contribute to a receiving corps that has been completely revamped since the departure of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.

“It’s been fun. I’ve got a lot of learning to do, a lot of things to pick up on, but for the most part I’ve been having a good time at it,” Moore said.

In making the transition from under center to wideout, Moore has gained an appreciation for just how grueling the receiver position can be.

“Getting out there and actually doing what they do, you actually realize how difficult it is,” Moore said.

Although Moore may lack the years of experience that most Division 1 college receivers possess, his raw

athleticism could translate into success on the field.

“I may not be as fast as some of the other receivers but athletically I think I can play with them,” Moore said.

For Moore, making the switch to wide receiver came from his desire to make an impact on the field in any way possible, rather than waiting for his turn in a hotly contested quarterback battle between Ford Childress and Paul Millard.

“I didn’t come up here to just sit on the bench and watch. I’ve been working my butt off to play, so hopefully I can get some results,” Moore said.

While Moore lacks experience at the receiver position, his time playing quarterback has put him ahead of the learning curve in terms of what quarterbacks expect out of their wide-outs.

“That transition was pretty easy for me. I know where quarterbacks want their receivers to be on certain routes so that was pretty simple,” Moore said.

Just as Moore will be transitioning, so will the entire Mountaineer receiving corps. With Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey

leaving for the NFL, sophomore Jordan Thompson is now the only receiver on the roster who saw a significant workload at the position last season.

Along with wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway, Thompson and junior receiver Connor Arlia have been working with Moore to make his transition to receiver a smooth one.

“Jordan Thompson and Connor (Arlia) have really been a big help,” Moore said. “Whether its route running or blocking, if you’re not doing those things right, you’re not going to get the job done.”

With such lack of experience in the receiving corps, there is really no telling where the production will come from this upcoming season.

Moore and the rest of the Mountaineers will have their first chance to put their skills on display in front of the WVU faithful Saturday at 2 p.m. in the annual Gold-Blue game.

“I’ll be playing in front of a lot more people than I was used to at Fairmont State, so it will be fun,” Moore said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Documents: Oregon proposed 2-year probation

AP

Oregon football coach Chip Kelly walks out of the tunnel with his team before their NCAA college football game against Fresno State in Eugene, Ore. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The University of Oregon has acknowledged major NCAA violations in connection with football recruiting and proposed a self-imposed two-year probation with the loss of one scholarship in each of the next three years, according to documents released by the school.

The revelations were made in a summary disposition report included in the documents released Monday night. The contents were first reported by KATU television in Portland.

Oregon and the NCAA have failed to come to an agreement on the matter and the case is expected to go before the infractions committee at some point this year.

The NCAA began looking

into possible violations following reports about payments Oregon made to recruiting services, including a $25,000 payment to Willie Lyles and Houstonbased Complete Scouting Services in 2010. Lyles had a connection with an Oregon recruit.

The NCAA will not comment on the ongoing investigations.

Oregon’s athletic department issued a statement that said: “The review is ongoing until the NCAA Committee on Infractions issues its final report. The integrity of the process and our continued full cooperation with the NCAA prohibits us from publicly discussing the specifics of this matter.”

The university released 515 pages of documents on

Monday night in response to public records requests.

The documents were heavily redacted and included several drafts of the summary disposition report.

The report included details of Oregon’s relationship with Lyles. Following allegations of possible violations in 2011, Oregon released information that Lyles had produced but it was largely outdated.

“There were underlying major violations coupled with failure to monitor violations involving the head coach (2009 through 2011) and the athletics department (2008-2011),” the report said. “While the violations were not intentional in nature, coaches and administrators of a sports program at an NCAA member institution have an obliga-

tion to ensure that the activities being engaged in comply with NCAA legislation.”

However, the summary disposition also noted no “lack of institutional control,” typically one of the most severe charges the NCAA can bring after an investigation of rules violations.

“There is no finding of lack of institutional control and no findings of unethical conduct,” the report said. “None of the underlying violations were intentional in nature.”

Chip Kelly was head coach at Oregon for the past four seasons, leading the Ducks to a 46-7 record with appearances in four straight BCS bowl games – including a bid for the national championship against Auburn in 2011. He

left Oregon to become head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year.

“I am aware of the recent reports and of the ongoing investigation being conducted by the NCAA and the University of Oregon.

While at Oregon, I know we were fully cooperative with all aspects of the investigation and I will continue to contribute in any way that I can. But until the NCAA rules on the matter, I will have no further comment,” Kelly said Tuesday in a statement released by the Eagles.

Ducks offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich was promoted to head coach at Oregon following Kelly’s departure.

Oregon was penalized by the NCAA in 2004 for a major violation involving

the improper recruitment of a junior college player by an assistant coach. The university was put on probation for two years and the unidentified assistant coach was suspended without pay for a week and restricted from some recruiting activities.

Oregon remained eligible for postseason play and did not lose any scholarships because of that violation, which occurred in 2003. The case was resolved without a formal hearing after the NCAA’s governing body agreed with the university’s proposed penalties.

The summary disposition, submitted Oct. 30 of last year, said the NCAA had yet to determine whether the previous penalty has impact on the current case.

Brewers P Gallardo cited for drunken driving MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo was arrested on a drunken-driving charge Tuesday after authorities say he was driving on a city highway with a blood-alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit.

Deputies responded about 2 a.m. to a report of a possibly intoxicated driver, Milwaukee County sheriff ’s spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin said. She said a caller reported seeing a driver repeatedly swerving between lanes, and deputies spotted Gallardo driving alone at 40 mph in a 55-mph zone.

“He was very cooperative,” McLaughlin said. “He said he

had a couple of beers.”

The arrest report says Gallardo had red glassy eyes, slurred speech and an odor of alcohol, and that he failed field-sobriety tests. Authorities say a breath test revealed a blood-alcohol level of 0.22, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08, and the reading was matched by a second breath test following his arrest.

The Brewers issued a statement saying they were aware of Gallardo’s situation.

“We have expressed our disappointment to him and know he understands that behavior of this nature is of great concern to everyone in the organization,” the statement said. “Yovani has ac-

knowledged the seriousness of this incident and is taking full accountability for his actions.”

The team was opening a three-game home series against San Francisco on Tuesday night.

In Wisconsin, first-offense drunken driving is a citation, not a misdemeanor or felony charge. McLaughlin said Gallardo faces nearly $800 in fines for drunken driving and for unsafe driving.

Gallardo was a 16-game winner last season, his fourth consecutive season with at least 200 strikeouts. But he gave up six runs in a loss Saturday to St. Louis and is 0-1 in three starts this season with a 6.61 ERA.

OFFENSIVE OUTBURST

nick arthur/the daily athenaeum

The West Virginia baseball team has won 13 of its last 18 games.

Offense leads to 13-5 victory against Morehead State in Charleston by kevin hooker sports writer

The West Virginia baseball team traveled to Charleston, W.Va., Tuesday night and defeated Morehead State 13-5.

The Mountaineers improve to 21-17 on the season and are 13-5 in their last 18 games. The Beakers are still without a win in the month of April and have lost 19 of their last 21 games.

Freshman Brock Dykxhoorn got the start for the Mountaineers, giving up two hits and striking out three batters in 2.0 innings of work.

“Starting pitching has been really good lately,” said head coach Randy Mazey after the win. “When

that happens, the guys in the bullpen don’t get nearly as much action ... It keeps everyone fresh as the season progresses.”

Ryan Tezak earned the victory, giving up no hits and striking out two batters in 2.0 relief innings of work. He improves to 2-0 on the season.

The Mountaineers put seven pitchers on the mound in all.

“Nobody got extended too much,” Mazey said. “We need them all fresh for the weekend.”

The Mountaineers had 13 hits and two errors on the night. Their .291 team batting average is third best in the Big 12 Conference.

The Mountaineers put up four runs in the second inning with

the first six batters reaching base.

Frazer and second baseman Billy Fleming each drove in one run apiece on a double and single, respectively.

Left fielder Jacob Rice led the Mountaineer offense, hitting 2-3 with three runs and two stolen bases. The junior now has 46 hits on the season.

Designated hitter Matt Frazer and third baseman Justin Fox each had one hit, two runs and two RBIs. Frazer notched his second RBI of the game in the fifth inning to extend the lead to 7-0, and Fox put WVU up 11-5 with a two-run bunt in the bottom of the seventh.

“We’ve had big innings this year

because of the bunt, the hit and run and moving runners,” Mazey said. “These days, it’s hard to hit balls over the fence, so you do what you can to score runs.”

Pinch hitter Michael Constantini added two more runs in the eighth inning, extending the lead to 13-5.

“I think we scored three times from second base tonight on balls that never left the infield,” Mazey said. “Our offense is clicking pretty good right now.”

The Mountaineers return to Big 12 play this weekend, as they’ll travel to Austin, Texas for a threegame series against the Longhorns. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Head coach Tina Samara and the West Virginia tennis team have played a difficult schedule this spring.

Samara sees progress despite tough schedule by robert kreis sports writer

There is no doubt the West Virginia women’s tennis team has stumbled in its first Big 12 Conference season. There is also no doubt the Mountaineers have made progress despite their struggles.

“We came in, and we changed the schedule completely,” said West Virginia head coach Tina Samara. “I could have made a schedule where we had a winning record.

Maybe not including the Big 12, but all my nonconference matches – I could’ve made matches that we could win.”

Instead, Samara is looking to play up to her competition until she can compete against the top 30 programs of the Big 12.

“I don’t feel like (Athletic Director) Oliver (Luck) hired us to just have a winning record against teams that are no good, that ultimately give us no ranking,” Samara said. “Every sport here is trying to get nationally ranked, I’m pretty sure.”

And the future is looking bright for Samara and the Mountaineers. Some

much-needed depth is on the way through the recruiting class, and the entire roster will be made up of Samara’s recruits.

“The next year, I feel like will be the first time we are going to really be able to do what we want to do,” Samara said. “When you’re short on numbers, you make decisions that you don’t necessarily like to keep the program together.”

But now, the program is coming together.

“Next year, knock on wood, if everything goes the way it should, we’ll have eight players,” Samara said. “We’ll have more leeway. We’ll be able to discipline the way we really want to and have consequences that we wanted to have already.

“It will allow us to coach the way we want to coach.”

The Mountaineers might find some depth next season, but some would say looking at the roster, they will lack leadership with no seniors on the team. Samara said she does not see it that way.

“I don’t feel like you need to be a senior to be a

Quarterback battle is fun to watch This spring offers a new realm of excitement for the West Virginia football team.

Why, you ask?

Well, the most obvious reason is the battle at the quarterback position.

Last year, quarterback Geno Smith got the majority of the repetitions during spring football. This year is a bit different. Redshirt freshman Ford Childress and junior Paul Millard have split the amount of reps 50-50.

Last Thursday, head coach Dana Holgorsen announced a tentative depth chart. Unsurprisingly, he is no closer to naming a starter now than a few weeks ago.

Millard, Childress and true freshman Chavas Rawlins are all listed as potential starters on the two-deep for the quarterback position – meaning Holgorsen is still in the hunt for his starting quarterback.

This spring has a new feel to it because of that beauty of competition. We want to see guys fight for the starting role on this year’s team; it creates a sense of pride in representing West Virginia and all the history behind its football program.

This Saturday is the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, so we will all get a chance to see a bit more of the quarterbacks and what they have to offer from a skills standpoint.

For one thing, Childress and Millard will have to be accurate and show why they should be this year’s starting quarterback.

Obviously it’s tough to fill in the shoes of Smith – a guy who will go down as one of the best ever at the quarterback position at WVU. However, Millard and Childress do have the potential to be solid quarterbacks if given the opportunity this season. “(This spring) has been a lot of fun,” Millard said. “As far as competition, it’s definitely fun getting out there.

That’s what football’s about.

“It’s about competing ... I love it.”

For Millard, this spring has been completely different than what he saw last year as a quarterback. He’s been given the opportunity to show what he can do with getting first-team reps as opposed to last year when Smith was the main guy.

Leadership wise, Millard has really come a long way.

“As you get older, guys start looking up to you,” he said. “It’s definitely a change, but (it’s) something I’m definitely trying to embrace as a leader of this team.

“Everybody’s always looking up to the quarterback, and I am just trying to set an example everyday. It’s definitely a more vocal role.”

Childress, on the other hand, is still getting used to West Virginia’s system, but his mechanics have really impressed Holgorsen and the coaching staff.

“This spring I actually know what’s going on,” he said. “Last spring was all hurried in and getting thrown into the fire. I’m just getting better everyday.

“The competition is pretty even; it just goes back and forth.”

We’ll all have to wait a long time to see who eventually wins the starting role.

But until then, the level of excitement that spring brings is quite different than the last few years. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
