Law students, CCE support Boston By Ashley Tennant staff writer

In the middle of tragedy, a group of West Virginia University students are calling the Mountaineer family together to show support. WVU law students have collaborated with the Center for Civic Engagement to start “Mountaineers Tied to Boston,” a campaign created to help support victims from the recent Boston Marathon

explosions. The WVU community will have the opportunity to sign an official “Letter to Boston” that will include handwritten messages by students, faculty, staff and members of the community. Upon signing the letter, participants will receive a blue or gold ribbon bracelet provided by the President’s Office to wear to show support around campus. “Basically, we started

‘Mountaineers Tied to Boston,’ because we wanted to tie together the WVU community, as well as the citizens of West Virginia to show our support for all of those involved in the events of the 2013 Boston Marathon,” said Jamie Chapman, law student at WVU. “More importantly, we wanted to show our stance against the violent acts that terrorize communities around the world.

“It’s not just the Boston Marathon we are standing against and showing our support for; we are showing our support against these violent acts that are terrorizing people daily.” During Chapman’s time as a law student and recent undergrad at WVU she worked with the CCE, so she decided to meet with them to discuss a variety of ideas to help get the campaign started.

“We decided on the ‘Mountaineers Tied to Boston.’ Essentially, the idea behind that is we are tying our community to their community, and the CCE is wonderful to work with,” Chapman said. “They have been great with helping set up the booths and getting people to work them. It has worked out well so far.” Chapman also said that not only are Mountaineers interested in being a part

SGA to host community Think Tank event By Summer Ratcliff staff writer

The West Virginia University Student Government Association will host its first-ever Morgantown Think Tank tonight. The event is an open forum for all students to ask questions or to voice their concerns about issues facing the community of Morgantown. Randy Jones, SGA liaison to City Council, said he

believes it’s important for students to get involved in events like the Think Tank, because Morgantown is their home while they are students at WVU. “Morgantown becomes a student’s home while they are working for an education,” Jones said. “This is a great opportunity for them to speak on the issues our community faces.” Morgantown Mayor Jim Manilla, representatives from the County Com-

Manilla said he is looking forward to listening to the students voice their concerns. “I appreciate SGA getting together to hold this Think Tank,” Manilla said. “I think it is really great, and I think that we need to sit and listen to what the students have to say.

“I am really interested in just listening, first and foremost, to what the student’s perspectives of the issues in the city of Morgantown are.” Manilla said he hopes the Think Tank can become a reoccurring event SGA will hold each semester. “I think this can perhaps become an ongoing thing where we can meet a

Women pros to speak on sports, media, success

FUN WITH THE SUN

A group of West Virginia University students are working to bring a little Appalachian innovation to the West Coast. The WVU Solar Decathlon team celebrated its ceremonial groundbreaking Thursday. The team was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of 20 teams across the globe to compete to design a home that is energy and cost efficient and attractive. This fall, the team will travel to Orange County Great Park in Irvine, Calif., where they will compete in the biannual competition. “In 2012, West Virginia University was the first-ever school from the state to be accepted into the competition,” said student project leader Branden Bellanca. “What started as an idea for a senior design project within the Lane Department of Computer Science and Computer Engineering has evolved, with the help of student lead-

of this campaign, a baseball league in Boston wants to wear them during their games to show their support. “We are actually sending 300 bracelets to a baseball league in Boston that wants to wear them to support the issue. They heard what we were doing, and they wanted to support it, so they asked if we would mail them bracelets that they could wear at

West Virginia University will host an “Advice from the Pros” speaker event Saturday, which will focus on women in sports and media. The event, sponsored by the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at WVU, is designed to give students an opportunity to learn from prominent women in media, sports and sports management, and according to moderator Marc Williams, this panel has the potential to be a game changer. “I think people are going to be inspired and empowered. This could be life changing for some people,” he said. “We want to take the resources we have and show young people the sky’s the limit.” Speaking at the event will be Kathy Killian, vice president of the Philadelphia Phillies, Jeanette Robertson, senior manager of women and kid’s footwear at Under Armour, Becky Clawson, professional competitor in the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness and Jaclyn Vocell, a

life coach and coach on MTV’s “Made.” Marc Williams is the CEO of Williams Communications, a marketing corporation working with WVU and ESPN Sportscenter anchor Jay Harris. Williams believes all students, not just women, can gain from this event. “Every knows Under Armour, how powerful a brand it is,” he said. “But to meet a woman who is making decisions on what goes into the stores? Students haven’t met men or women like that because they don’t know how much opportunity is in these careers.” That’s one reason Williams helped organize this event – to show students what they can achieve if they follow their dreams. “It’s not just about these careers; it’s about empowering young people,” Williams said. “We want people to be the best they can be, to strive to be excellent.” Williams recalled an incident from a previous panel that inspired the focus on women for this event.

PACE helps disabled find careers by alyssa pluchino staff writer

One in every four people in West Virginia suffers from a disability. Despite the fact this accounts for nearly 25 percent of the state’s population, adults with disabilities also have the highest unemployment rate. PACE Enterprises, Inc. is an organization created solely to fight this problem. “A lot of the people we employ are people who, without us, would not have employment. Rather than having to rely on a disability check every month, we give people who want to work the ability to take charge of their own destiny,” said Bob Pirner, director of PACE business development. “There are hundreds of success stories, and every one of them gets up and goes to work in the morning.”

Founded by a local group of parents in 1972, PACE offers a unique program to anyone old enough to work and has a documented disability. After examining each individual’s interests, strengths and weaknesses, the program provides appropriate training and job placement to those who are seeking employment. “We help people with physical, cognitive and emotional disabilities that make it hard to succeed in a competitive work environment,” Pirner said. The organization has recently enforced a contract with the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory giving 70 PACE members meaningful employment. PACE also employed an additional 30 people by creating PACE

FBI issues photos of two suspects in Boston bombing BOSTON (AP) — The FBI released photos and video Thursday of two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing and asked for the public’s help in identifying them, zeroing in on the two men on surveillance-camera footage less than three days after the deadly attack. The photos depict one man in a dark baseball cap and the other in a white cap worn backward. The men were seen walking one behind the other in the crowd, and the one in the white hat was seen setting down a backpack at the site of the second explosion, said Richard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston. “Somebody out there knows these individuals as friends, neighbors, co-work-

ers or family members of the suspects. Though it may be difficult, the nation is counting on those with information to come forward and provide it to us,” DesLauriers said. The images were released hours after President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama attended an interfaith service at a Roman Catholic cathedral in Boston to remember the three people killed and more than 180 wounded in the twin blasts Monday at the marathon finish line. The two men – dubbed Suspect 1 (in the dark hat) and Suspect 2 (in the white hat) – are considered armed and extremely dangerous, DesLauriers said, and people who see them should

not approach them. “Do not take any action on your own,” he warned. The break in the investigation came just days after the attack that tore off limbs, shattered windows and raised the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. FBI photo-analysis specialists have been analyzing a mountain of surveillance footage and amateur pictures and video for clues to who carried out the attack and why. Generally, law enforcement agencies release photos of suspects only as a last resort, when they need the public’s help in identifying or capturing someone. Releasing photos can be a mixed bag: It can tip off a suspect and deny police the

element of surprise. It can also trigger an avalanche of tips, forcing police to waste valuable time chasing them down. Within moments of the announcement, the FBI website crashed, perhaps because of a crush of visitors. In the images, both men appear to be wearing dark jackets. Suspect 1 appears to be wearing a backpack. The planting of the backpack is not depicted in the video footage that was made public. The FBI made no mention of the men’s height, weight or age range and would not discuss the men’s ethnicity. “It would be inappropriate to comment on the ethnicity of the men because

nature,” Bellanca said. “Working with students from various cultures and mindsets has allowed for the creation of a project the likes the University has never seen before.” In the coming weeks, construction of Team PEAK’s solar home will begin on a plot of land near the Patteson Drive Chick-fil-A. WVU graduate student Kenneth Hite said he got the idea to enter the competition in 2009 while on a field trip to Washington, D.C. Hite stumbled upon past projects showcased on the National Mall and from that point forward wanted to bring the experience to Morgantown. Hite said he is incredibly grateful for the chance to work on the project and is thrilled it was able to take the next step. “I came to WVU in 2008, and I never imagined being part of something so life-changing,” he said. “Being a part of this project and seeing it become reality is something that I wish every student had a chance to do.” The home will appear as a rustic Appalachian log cabin, with hidden modern and energy-efficient features, something Team PEAK believes

During the Q&A, a female student stood up and poured her heart out to the speaker. “In front of 300 people, she stood up and said she changed her major because her professor told her she’d never make it in the sports industry or any industry because she’s a woman,” Willams said.

it could lead people down the wrong path potentially,” said FBI agent Greg Comcowich, a spokesman for the Boston FBI office. The information on the first suspect was developed within a day or so before its release, DesLauriers said. Agent Daniel Curtin said the FBI did not issue the photos earlier because authorities wanted to be meticulous: “It’s important to get it right.” At the Cathedral of the Holy Cross earlier in the day, Obama declared to the people of Boston: “Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act.” He spoke in almost mocking terms of those who commit such violence.

“We finish the race, and we do that because of who we are,” the president said to applause. “And that’s what the perpetrators of such senseless violence – these small, stunted individuals who would destroy instead of build and think somehow that makes them important – that’s what they don’t understand.” “We will find you,” he warned those behind the attack. Seven victims remained in critical condition. Killed were 8-year-old Martin Richard of Boston, 29-yearold restaurant manager Krystle Campbell of Medford, Mass., and Lu Lingzi, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China.

“It kind of angered a lot of people in there, and it made me think that we needed to do a symposium to celebrate women who are trailblazers.” Students, administrators and professors are invited to the event. “We’re making this an inclusive program,” Williams said. “I think that WVU is a hidden jewel, that we have some diamonds in the rough.” He hopes this event will

give all students, especially women, confidence in their dreams. “We still have a long way to go, but we have a lot of women who are trailblazers and are doing amazing things,” he said. “It’s just a matter of educating students about them.” The event will be held from 7-9 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms and is free to the public. bryan.bumgardner@mail.wvu.edu

We wanted to bring in new school, too. Being the engineers that we are, we wanted to incorporate some of the technology but hide them in a way that fits a contemporary log home. So, you’ll get that rustic feel, but you’ll also get all the technology behind the doors.” WVU President James P. Clements said he believes this

project highlights the efforts of students and what it means to be a Mountaineer. “This project goes to the heart of what WVU is really all about – helping to make the state and the world a better place,” he said. “On the worldwide stage, this competition will be showcasing the stature of WVU and what we have as a leading energy University in the nation.” For more information on the Solar Decathlon and Team PEAKS’s project, visit www./solar.wvu.edu. carlee.lammers@mail.wvu.edu

She said the current plan of action is to work with the offices of both Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and Massachusetts Gov. Patrick Deval, or with the office of Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to ensure everything is done how they

see fit. To sign the book and receive a ribbon bracelet, visit the booth in the Mountainlair from 11 a.m. -2 p.m Friday and throughout next week. Various other locations across campus will also have booths. “Any support is good – (whether it be) simply signing the book, wearing one of the ribbons, and just showing that you support the cause,” Chapman.

offers through various organizations. Samantha Runyon, a public relations student at WVU, is one of the student who has taken advantage of the internship program for the semester. “It’s been a real world experience in what PR is actually like,” Runyon said. “Mostly, I worked on promotion of the Murder Mystery Dinner Party event. We wrote PSAs, press releases and prepared media kits. We also helped with dayof-event preparation.” Since 1972, PACE has continued to grow and affect more and more lives as its mission continues. Pirner said there are countless numbers of people and businesses working

with PACE. Among the local businesses helping the cause is the WVU Hospital, as well as several fast food chains in the Morgantown area. “So, many times people with disabilities are told they can’t do things. PACE Enterprises has the mind set of, ‘You can do anything you put your mind to, the question is how far do you want to go?’” said Vicki Gillespie, PACE Enterprises contractor and project manager for Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory.

Ron White to bring new stand-up to Morgantown BY LACEY PALMER ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

Grammy-nominated comedian Ron White will be making yet another journey to Morgantown this evening. White will bring his “A Little Unprofessional” tour to the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center Friday for two shows – the first at 7 p.m. and the second at 10 p.m. – both of which are already sold out. White also came to Morgantown in 2008 and 2010,

and every show has been sold out. “Ron White has always sold out, so we know there’s an audience for him,” said David Ryan, WVU Arts & Entertainment public relations specialist. “If we know people respond really well to a show, we hope to bring them back, especially if they have a new show or set.” The “Blue Collar Comedy” tour phenomenon – who goes by the nickname “Tater Salad” – is known for his hilarious, wry stand-up and is among the more famous comedians of this

generation. “By now, Ron White is a household name,” Ryan said. “He’s a down-to-earth comedian who shares his life and the journey he’s taken and then invites you to laugh along with him at it.” During the past five years, White has been of the top three grossing comedians on tour in the US. With two Grammy nominations, a Gold Record, many successful Comedy Central TV specials, New York Times Best Selling book and CD and DVD sales of more than

10 million units, White has truly made an impact on the comedy industry. “We always try and bring big-name comedians to complement our other shows,” Ryan said. “This year we’ve had Lewis Black, Aziz Ansari and also have Bill Maher coming up next week. “White is another crowd pleaser because he knows how to make people laugh, and we’re glad we can bring genuinely funny people.” lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to take place in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (AP) – Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson are among the singers set to pay tribute to this year’s eclectic group of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. Aguilera and Hudson are scheduled to perform in honor of late disco queen Donna Summer at Thursday night’s 28th annual induction ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. Summer is among this year’s eight inductees, which also include rockers Heart and Rush, singersongwriter Randy New-

man, rap group Public Enemy and bluesman Albert King, as well as Lou Adler and Quincy Jones, this year’s Ahmet Ertegun lifetime achievement honorees. Heart, Randy Newman, Public Enemy and Rush are expected to perform at Thursday’s star-studded event, while Usher will sing for Jones, Carole King will perform for Adler and John Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. will pay tribute to the late King. Other artists scheduled to attend include the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and

Taylor Hawkins, who will present Rush; Jackson Browne and John Fogerty, who will perform with Randy Newman; Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and Alice In Chains’ Jerry Cantrell, who will join Heart; Spike Lee and Harry Belafonte, who will present Public Enemy; and Don Henley, who will induct Newman. The event marks the first time since 1993 that the Cleveland, Ohio, institution has held its induction ceremony on the West Coast. It will be broadcast The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame displays a unique exhibit of artistic guitars. May 18 on HBO.

These three can deliver, some even while wearing naughty Victorian outfits. Director and choreographer Jeff Calhoun so apple-cheeked with “Newsies” and trying-tobe-understanding in Wildhorn’s recent “Bonnie & Clyde” - has tapped into his Hyde side with this overripe tale of a scientist whose attempt to isolate the bad element in man leads to a split personality. There’s a little bondage, a pretty graphic suicide, some slapping around, filthy hookers, rough sex and five coldblooded murders. Leave the kids at home. Maroulis, the former “American Idol” contestant who earned a Tony Award nomination for “Rock of Ages,” proves a gifted singer if not the most nuanced of actors in the title role. His hair - ponytailed as the gentleman Jekyll and freeflowing when he becomes the hedonistic Hyde - gets a workout. (He also, Clark Kent-ish, wears glasses when he’s mild-mannered.) This guy, reared in “Rock of Ages,” can toss his mane around better than any 1980s hair-band singers. Allow Maroulis this: He gives it his all, whether it’s

nailing the anthem “This is the Moment” or being exceedingly menacing with a cane. He might have to say dopey things like “I started this alone and I must finish it alone,” but he does it with purpose and careful diction. An exhausted man gets the big applause at the end. He deserves it. He should get two paychecks. Cox, an award-winning R&B singer who plays a put-upon brothel worker, is both sexy and touching as a love interest for both Jekyll and Hyde. She delivers a jaded, bum-slapping “Bring on the Men” and then a touching “Someone Like You,” her voice soaring so stunningly that it seems to open a new dimension. Wicks is luminous in the underwritten part of Jekyll’s fiancee but still manages to lend some glamor and skill to the part. Both women deliver a knockout duet “In His Eyes.” But perhaps the star of the show is Tobin Ost, the scenic and costume designer who has a history of working with Calhoun. His buildings here are appropriately off-kilter, his walls are futuristic and he deploys five massive picture frames that become mirrors, paintings and brick

walls, or whatever a clever Daniel Brodie decides to project on them. Ost’s use of long strings during one scene - inside a brothel called, aha, The Spider’s Web - is a playful stroke. He then turns the rump of that set into Jekyll’s laboratory, complete with bubbling, glowing vials and tubes. Appropriate for a story about a man who wears two hats, Ost also has created the smashing costumes, dark Victorian exaggerations with Goth references that showcase garters, suspenders, white crisp shirts, foppery and hats. The sets and costumes all come together thrilling in the Act 1 song “Facade,” in which five odd people appear in their underwear and are then dressed by their servants to slowly emerge in their societal roles - a priest, a soldier, a lord, a lady and a lawyer. Pity they all must die. Sometimes when watching “Jekyll & Hyde” there are moments when it seems like what you’re watching is outtakes from “This Is Spinal Tap.” But that’s this show’s charm. You’ll always be of two minds about it, so just give in to the silly side.

De

NEW YORK (AP) – Yes, it is bombastic and overwrought. It’s true that there’s enough smoke to make three Whitesnake videos. OK, it sometimes makes “The Phantom of the Opera” seem small and staid. But there’s something to cheer about in the revival of “Jekyll & Hyde” that has rolled into Broadway after a 25-week national tour. It is what it is, and it does that very well. It’s a big, loud rock opera and makes no apologies for itself. Nor should it. If you wanted a subtle musical without stabbings and bondage, what exactly are you doing at “Jekyll & Hyde”? The new version that opened Thursday at the Marquis Theatre - arriving 16 years after its debut takes itself so seriously that it almost veers into camp, but it’s a stunningly beautiful steampunk vision with great costumes, projections and sets. Plus, the three main vocalists who came along to sing these Frank Wildhorn songs will make your ears bleed: Constantine Maroulis, Deborah Cox and Teal Wicks. Who cares if there’s way too much lightening and overacting?

EPIC FAIL Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky. answers questions from reporters, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday. McConnell was one of the 46 senators to vote against increasing background checks on gun purchases. A bill that aimed to create a more thorough background check system for prospective firearm buyers failed to muster enough votes in Congress to pass with a filibuster-proof majority yesterday. The bill, which was proposed by Senator Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), sought to require background checks for guns purchased online and at gun shows. Setting aside the fact that it is absolutely preposterous that Republicans have made it impos-

sible for a legislation to make it out of Congress without 60 votes, this is a terrible move. A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll found that 86 percent of Americans would support a law that “required background checks on people buying guns at gun shows or online.” Despite this nearly unanimous support and the fact that it makes no sense to subject some gun sales to background checks while leaving glaring loopholes that make it very easy to obtain a gun

without one, 46 Senators refused to move this legislation forward. Sen. Manchin pointed the finger at the National Rifle Association for preventing passage of the bill. Manchin believes the bill would have passed easily with 70 votes had the NRA not pressured senators to back off. You know when Joe Manchin – who the NRA gave an A-rating and who once famously shot a fictional climate bill in a campaign advertisement – says the NRA has gone too far, it is true.

Manchin accused the group of intentionally mischaracterizing the bill to shore up anger from pro-gun citizens and scare members of Congress away. Although this latest development certainly puts a damper on hopes that there will be any progress on gun control this year, we applaud Manchin for having the courage to finally stand up to the NRA, and we hope more red-state senators will follow his example.

Lessons American politicans can learn from the Iron Lady david brooks the dartmouth

The iconic female Prime Minister of Great Britain, Margaret Thatcher, passed away last week at age 87. Thatcher and former President Ronald Reagan will always be remembered as the stalwart conservative duo that shared a truly strategic vision on politics. While you may not agree with Thatcher’s politics, her supporters and even plenty of her detractors attest to her conviction. Knowing where Thatcher stood was never difficult. Only a year into her premiership, she famously stood up to capitulating members of her own party, telling them, “the lady is not for turning.” Thatcher’s recent passing, combined with the fraction of lawmakers who seem solely attuned to political expedience, has made me wonder if there is not a stunning lack of leadership and conviction in Washington, D.C.. Perhaps the most striking and current void in true leadership lies in the “evolution” of many American politicians’ views regarding samesex marriage. After Vice President Joe Biden came out in support for gay marriage, President Barack Obama announced that his views were evolving — a term being used by many politicians switching allegiance in this area. However, it strains credulity that in 22 days, 14 senators suddenly evolved on the issue of same-sex marriage. Since Biden expressed his support of same-sex marriage, 24 senators, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Obama have all had some sudden epiphany that supporting same-sex marriage is the right thing to do.

The Union flag draped coffin holding the body of British former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is carried from St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. It seems more likely that many of these politicians privately agreed with same-sex marriage but failed to publicly support it. If you believe that marriage equality is an issue of civil rights, failing to support it out of political expediency is pure cowardice. Even more obviously, the shifting tide of public opinion on same-sex marriage, coupled with its popularity among the rising generation of Americans, makes supporting same-sex marriage advantageous nationally. The current crop of politicians waited until the opportune moment to support an issue that they are now claiming is about equality. At least some-

one like former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-PA., will unflinchingly let you know where he stands, even with a little vitriol thrown in on the side. I am not saying that people should be uncompromising or that they cannot change their minds. After reading Will Portman’s moving article in the Yale Daily News, I am hopeful that Sen. Rob Portman ’78, R-Ohio, made his change of heart as the result of rethinking his positions after conversations with his gay son. I am also not arguing that opponents of same-sex marriage lack conviction. But the fact that nearly a quarter of the Senate, the President, the Vice President and the Secre-

tary of State all have a sudden change of heart is not a coincidence and is definitely not a sign of leadership. On the other hand, Thatcher made it known that she was ending the burdened public works programs, and she zealously combatted the regulatory mess that was Great Britain of the 1980s. By the time she was finished, she had privatized many industries that probably needed privatizing, like telecoms and airlines, and some that did not, like electricity and railways. However, her convictions were firm and her support for them far from waning. Contrast this attitude with that of Sen. John

McCain, R.-Ariz., who desperately tried to push through immigration reform, only to disavow it during his presidential campaign, or with Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah., who proposed the DREAM Act, only to come out against it later. Now McCain and the group of eight are once again trying to push the issue, but one wonders what happened to these lawmakers’ convictions when former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla. was sounding the alarm for immigration reform. Looking at the current budget mess, both presidential candidates expressed support for the SimpsonBowles framework while

ap

neither voiced their support when the plan was released. Instead the President and Congress were content to kick the can down the road, which led to budget showdowns, the fiscal cliff and the current sequestration. A real leader would admit that our budget crisis can only be solved through entitlement cuts and increased tax revenue — a tough pill to swallow. Thatcher resigned in 1990 after challenges from her own party and her insistence on the unpopular poll tax. In hindsight, she might have faired better by being less brash. But at least Britons could trust in where she stood.

Battle of the Bands rocks Mountainlair

Katie Flowers/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The winners, The Cherry Street Band, perform during this year’s Battle of the Bands.

BY JAMES YARIA A&E WRITER

A diverse array of local music was featured Thursday night in the Mountainlair Ballrooms, as The Cherry Street Band was crowned the winner of West Virginia University’s Battle of the Bands. Sponsored by U92 and featuring a range of judges including current Mountaineer mascot Jonathan Kimble, four very different bands faced off for a top prize of $1,000 and a free song recording from Blues Alley Records.

The Cherry Street Band, the winners of the battle, created a pleasantly soulful blend of good jams and mellow grooves. The easygoing drums allowed a duo of dedicated singers to wow the audience with their powerful vocals and sound. The jazz and rock fusion provided a satisfying tone for the small audience to enjoy. “They have helped me to personally open my voice and to sing higher and with more inflection and more drama,” Cherry Street singer and recent WVU graduate Hillery Chadderton said.

“They had their vision pretty locked down when I met them, and I just happened to fall into that quite well.” Despite their drastically different styles, each band was very supportive of each other and though competing, happily danced to each other’s tunes. While the music contained a wide spectrum of the different music talent available in Morgantown, failure to provide similarity between each band made the judging ultimately a judgment of style rather than pure talent.

Stopwith, the first band on the set list had an artsy, new rock ‘n’ roll sound. The vocals of the five-person band were drowned in a sea of overbearing drumbeats, but the keyboards added an interesting flow to their routine. ApplePappy, an Appalachian trio of traditional mountain music claimed the runner up title for the evening. With all of the members hailing from West Virginia, ApplePappy felt at home, even taking off their shoes to feel the rhythm from the floor. Two guitars and a man-

dolin were all that backed the singers’ voices, allowing for old-fashioned bluegrass to liven up the crowd. “You just hear a song in your head, and all of a sudden it needs to be out. It can’t stay inside you,” said mandolin player and WVU senior Ben Williams. “You just kind of pick an instrument, and it’s incredible.” Closing the evening was metal band Disillusion Effect, who as soon as the first chord kicked were already too loud. Though their screaming and sound was of marvelous quality, a seated venue in the student union

was an inappropriate location for such raw energy. While they would’ve been much more at an advantage had the Battle of the Bands taken place in the dark corridors of a small, closed-off theater, Disillusion Effect was still undeterred. After announcing the winners, The Cherry Street Band said they would likely record their song, “Don’t Wanna Sleep Alone” with their winnings. They will be performing at the WVU Relay for Life tonight and again April 27 at Archie’s. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

123 Pleasant Street to host five metal bands BY JOSH EWERS A&E WRITER

Sunday night, 123 Pleasant Street will play host to a marathon session of distortion featuring metal acts Disillusion Effect, Armory Infirmary, For the Broken, I Killed Medusa and Horse Drawn Death Machine. The show will bring together representatives from around the region with disparate influences to come together for the noble and common purpose of throwing down. The headliners, Disillusion Effect, have been toiling away at building their live performance recently. They’re seemingly on the 123 docket every week and deliver at each show. Sunday, they’ll be represent-

ing the home team of Morgantown for the evening. The technical death metal frenzy this fourpiece conjures comes with a malevolent intensity that is hard for most bands to muster. Another praiseworthy element of their work is their sense of groove that brings to mind bands like Lamb of God, who seamlessly fuse groove concepts with the brutal nature of heavy music to create a powerful strain of music that compels the audience to mosh. Armory Infirmary and a few other bands on the bill will add a bit of “what the kids are listening to” to the action. The outwardly Christian group from Pennsylvania exemplifies the latest nuances of modern metal. Featuring deep,

lower-register guitar chugging with a dash of dissonance for good measure, the band crafts songs with clear pop sensibilities. Abrasive vocals are directly followed by catchy, strumming choruses overlapped by squeaky, clean vocals. I Killed Medusa is also a Christian metal band comprised of self-professed straight-edge teens from Grafton, W.Va., who are truly a band that encapsulates the metal climate of their constituent generation. Tremolo riffing and snarling vocals are par for the course for this young group of musicians, who sport a pretty creative cover of Ellie Goulding’s “Lights.” For the Broken is much in the same vein as the previous two bands in that

they are overtly modern in their approach. They utilize heavy slams and resonance generating palm mutes to pummel the listener into a lull, then unleash some seriously sugar-coated pop song work. The band never fully abandons the heavier aspects of their sound; they simply push them back with catchier notions often through the use of electronic atmospheres. Fans of Of Mice and Men and Memphis May Fire would likely enjoy Armory Infirmary, I Killed Medusa and For the Broken. In a deep and dark contrast of musicality, going from I Killed Medusa’s “Lights” to Horse Drawn Death Machine’s “No Lights,” attendees will no doubt be struck with the

opposing incarnations of heavy music. Hailing from Ohio, Horse Drawn Death Machine exhumes a blackened, haunting sound that is equal parts black metal and stoner rock. Howling vocals meet sinister buzzing guitar work that has a tendency to spiral into sweet psychedelic passages or careen into heavier thrash breaks. This four-piece has a style very much it’s own. Fans of Black Sabbath and Mastodon might take a liking to their sound. If you want to get in on the fun or just support local music this Sunday, the tickets can be purchased at the door at 123 starting at 6 p.m., and the event is open to all ages. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

nICK ARTHUR ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

Spring Game has more meaning in 2013 The weather is changing in Morgantown. Warmer temperatures are upon us, trees are beginning to bloom and the sounds of coach whistles echo in the concourse of Milan Puskar Stadium a few days a week. Spring football practice is an exciting time for West Virginia football. It gives young and inexperienced players the necessary practice needed to improve and develop. It allows the coaching staff to evaluate areas that need improvement heading into preseason. And, it allows players to compete for starting positions, which personally I think is the most exciting facet. When the Mountaineers run out of the tunnel this Saturday for their annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, fans will get the opportunity to make their personal choice of who should get the starting nods going into summer camp. That’s what makes this year’s spring game more appealing than years past. Last year, fans wanted to see how the Mountaineers looked coming off a historic offensive showing in the Orange Bowl. There are always players competing for different spots, but nearly the entire offensive depth chart was set last year. Dana Holgorsen knew Geno Smith would be starting under center, with players like Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey and J.D. Woods flanked to his left and right. This year, though, it is completely different. Austin, Bailey, Smith, Woods and many others are gone, testing their luck at the professional level. Who will replace them? Well, that’s what Saturday is for. Yes, I’m aware starting positions aren’t going to be solely based on the performance of players in an intrasquad scrimmage. The Mountaineers have multiple team scrimmages throughout the spring not open to the public or media. But, this game is different. The coaches will be up in the box calling plays, and it will be the first time some players get to play in front of a crowd. For instance, former Fairmont State quarterback and transfer Logan Moore has been moved to wide receiver and is battling for playing time. Moore admits the team rarely had enough guys on the roster to have a spring game at Fairmont State, let alone play in front of the more than 20,000 spectators expected at Mountaineer Field. Redshirt freshman Ford Childress, who didn’t play in the spring game last season, is competing with junior Paul Millard for the starting quarterback position next season. This weekend will be the first time Mountaineers get a chance to see Childress play. The Houston native told the media Tuesday he couldn’t wait to get out and play in front of the fans. You see, these are just two examples of the many players who are competing for playing time next season and are viewing Saturday as an opportunity to display their talents in front of their teammates, coaches and fans. The weather forecast is calling for temperatures in the mid-50s and sunny skies – a major upgrade from the chilly air and constant rain that fell on the dreary Saturday one year ago. Make your way over to Mountaineer Field and offer your judgement about who should start where heading into summer camp. nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

GOLD-BLUE DEBUT

West Virginia ready for Gold-Blue Spring Game Saturday by cody schuler managing editor

Tailgating and touchdowns will return to Morgantown Saturday when the Mountaineers’ annual Gold-Blue Game kicks off in Milan Puskar Stadium at 2 p.m. With the departure of future NFL draft players Geno Smith, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, next season’s team will give fans a first look at what to expect when West Virginia takes the field in the fall. The most hyped position battle of the spring has been at quarterback, with redshirt freshman Ford Childress competing against junior Paul Millard. Head coach Dana Hol-

gorsen said there is time until next season, and he is not close to naming a starter at almost any position yet. “We have done a lot of teaching and a lot of evaluating. We have a long way to go on all three sides of the ball. We are not prepared to name any starters, and in my mind, I am not prepared to figure out what type of team we will have yet,” he said. “I do like the attention and focus that these guys have been playing with. When they come in, they are eager to learn.” Holgorsen said his team is practicing with a chip on its shoulder, because many do not think the Mountaineers will be a viable competitor in the Big 12 next season.

“Nobody thinks we are any good. I encourage our guys not to read anything online on the message boards or any other publications,” he said. “No one knows what our team is going to be like. The only people (who) can dictate that are the coaches and players. We have to come in and just get better every day.” Redshirt senior defensive end Will Clarke said the spring practice period has gone well, and he is excited for the opportunity the spring game presents. “Everything has been good. I’ve been learning more, getting better and just trying to be perfect,” he said. “I am looking forward to having a good game and a good scrim-

mage, along with teaching and learning more.” Clarke and fellow defensive players have expressed how hard the defense has been working after a dismal campaign last season that saw the Mountaineers near the bottom of several statistical categories. Redshirt senior Darwin Cook said a large portion of the defense’s work has been in improving the passing game – something he said will make a big difference when the season starts. “The big difference in our defense is that our safeties and the defensive line have gotten better in applying

WVU set for three-game series at Texas by connor murray sports writer

Following a six-game nonconference stretch, the West Virginia University baseball team (4-2) will return to Big 12 Conference action tonight as it takes on the Texas Longhorns at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. The Mountaineers will look to carry the momentum from back-to-back victories against Liberty and Morehead State into their critical series with the Longhorns this weekend. “Everybody is going to have to be on top of their game,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey in an interview with WVUsports.com. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for our guys to go down there and play on one of the biggest stages in the country.” Both the Mountaineers and Longhorns have surprised in the Big 12 to this

point but for completely opposite reasons. Picked to finish No. 3 in the Big 12 preseason coaches poll, Texas comes in to this weekend’s series No. 8 in the conference. With a 4-8 record in the Big 12 and 20-15 mark, the Longhorns have under-achieved so far in the season. Conversely, the Mountaineers were picked to finish last in the preseason poll, but come in to the series in sixth place. Boasting a 21-17 overall mark and 4-5 mark in conference, the Mountaineers are fighting for the right to participate in postseason play. As the Mountaineers have now hit the meat of their schedule, this weekend’s matchup with the Longhorns could serve as a barometer for how the rest of the season will play out. “It’s going to be tough

from here on out with Texas, Oklahoma, TCU and Kansas coming up. They’re probably the four best teams in the league that we’re getting ready to play,” Mazey said. The matchup between the Longhorns and Mountaineers will be one that showcases teams with contrasting styles. With the most home runs (23) and third-best team batting average (.290) in the Big 12, WVU has been getting it done on offense this season. On the other side, the Longhorns lead the Big 12 in overall team pitching for Friday’s game. Texas pitchers have baffled opposing hitters this

year, holding them to a batting average of .228 while boasting a 2.66 team earned run average. The old baseball axiom is that good pitching will always beat good hitting, but it will be up to the two teams to see what style of play dominates the weekend. Sophomore Harrison Musgrave is scheduled to get the start in Friday’s series opener. Musgrave comes in to the game with a 5-1 record and an ERA of 3.15. The Bridgeport, W. Va., native’s five wins are the fifth highest among Big 12 pitchers this year. Saturday afternoon’s game will see senior Dan

Football

Buie, Garrison ready to carry load in 2013

CLASSIFIEDS

By Doug Walp sports writer

SPECIAL NOTICES

The loss of some notable offensive personnel for the 2013 edition of West Virginia football has been well-documented to say the least, but there’s one position in which the Mountaineers have some returning talent: running back. Although WVU lost the powerful Shawne Alston to graduation, it will be bringing back juniors Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison to carry the load for them in 2013. “It’s going great,” Garrison said. “I feel like everybody’s doing a good job competing. Coach (Holgorsen) does a great job rotating us, making sure we get equal amounts of reps, and it just goes off that.” Just one week ago, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen and his staff released the first tentative depth chart for 2013, which lists Buie as the starter and Garrison as the first backup, but it’s already clear both backs will more than likely split the majority of the Mountaineers’ carries this season. Holgorsen may have already tipped his hand a bit looking back to last season when he noted that he prefers to have backs that are Garrison and Buie’s size to split the majority of carries in a game, because he doesn’t believe a 190-lb tailback can endure 30 carries and the physicality of blocking throughout an entire contest without getting worn down during the season. With Buie and Garrison, though, splitting carries could also be beneficial because each has his own unique running style, which could keep opposing defenses guessing. “It’s not really so much of a difference in the styles,” Buie said. “I just think what each guy brings to the table is a little different. One guy may run the ball a little different

Running back Dustin Garrison carries the ball against Oklahoma last season at Milan Puskar Stadium. or with a little bit more edge. You can kind of see the personality of the person when they’re carrying the ball, and I feel like we’ve got a good, diverse mixture of guys in the room.” Both backs have also shown they can do more than just take handoffs, too. Buie and Garrison have both shown an aptitude to block, or catch balls out of the backfield, an integral characteristic if you want to see playing time in Holgorsen’s air raid offensive system. “I know I’ve got hands,” Buie said. “I catch that rock. Dustin has good hands, and Dreamius (Smith) has good hands, so at any point I feel it will be easier for us, because any guy could be at any spot,

at any moment, and it takes a lot of pressure off just one guy having to carry the load.” Smith, a junior transfer from Butler Community College, is currently listed as the third back on the depth chart and is followed by true freshman Wendell Smallwood. Garrison recently told reporters the increase in talent and ability across the board at the running back position this spring has really helped foster better competition for both himself and Buie. “They’re doing a good job of making us compete,” Garrison said. “With me and Buie back there, us being the older guys, we like a little competition. So, it’s going good. I feel like we’re going to have a good season.”

The incoming freshmen aren’t the only new faces making a difference for the West Virginia running back’s corps this season, either. New running backs coach JaJuan Seider has returned to his alma mater to replace Robert Gillespie after he left for Tennessee in early March, and both Garrison and Buie have quickly taken to Seider and his coaching methods. They they those methods admit differ from Gillespie’s in some advantageous ways. “He’s a good guy and knows exactly what he’s doing,” Garrison said. “We spend a lot of time in the film room and on the field talking about plays and things like that. Seider does a good job of giving us space and let-

ting us make the mistake so we can learn from it.” Buie echoed his teammate’s sentiments. “Coach Seider puts us in the best position to make plays and that’s his biggest thing – make plays and don’t overthink,” Buie said. “He does a good job of breaking stuff down for us, making it easier for us, simplifying it. “It just lets you be a football player and make plays, and that’s been comforting that a guy understands where you’re coming from as a player and doesn’t overreact when things don’t necessarily work. He’s been very patient with us in that aspect, too.“ dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The struggles of the West Virginia women’s tennis team have not affected head coach Tina Samara’s confidence level as the team prepares for this weekend’s final road games of the season at Kansas State today and Kansas Sunday. “I feel like, with these five kids, we can win,” Samara said. “Against an Iowa State, against a Kansas State, against Kansas – these are the four weakest teams in the conference. They’re winnable matches.” The Mountaineers will only play with five members this weekend, because senior Audrey Wooland was dismissed from the team for disciplinary reasons. However, Samara is no stranger to fielding a small team. “We’ve been playing with short teams since I’ve been here, pretty much,” Samara said. “Emily (Mathis) and (Ikttesh Chahal) played here last year, and they played with five players the whole year. It was tough and they know it. “In some ways I’m sure they’re used to it. In other ways, I’m sure it’s frustrating.” There has been plenty of frustration since Samara arrived in Morgantown three years ago, but just like she is confident about a win this season, she is confident about where the program is going. “We’re still building, and trying to change the culture here,” Samara said. “Right now, the reason we’re losing

Continued from page 7 force and pressure,” he said. “We didn’t really make that many tackles. There were just a lot of tackles for loss. There is a lot of emphasis on tackles for loss from Coach (Erik) Slaughter, so you can give him credit for that.” Sophomore safety Karl Joseph said he expects the defense to play better this season, now that everyone has a year of playing in the scheme.

is (we’re) rebuilding and still trying to get a full team.” Despite having an incomplete team, the Mountaineers do have a solid chance at victory this weekend. The Mountaineers were introduced to the teeth of the Big 12, as soon as the conference schedule began. Since they already know what the top is like, Samara is hoping to steal a win from the bottom. The Jayhawks enter Friday’s match with an 8-9 record, but like the Mountaineers, they have struggled in the Big 12 with a 0-7 conference record. Kansas has particularly struggled on the singles’ court this season. Against the Big 12, the Jayhawks have earned a 13-39 record. The Jayhawks in-state rival, Kansas State, has also struggled this season, and provide West Virginia with an opportunity to earn their first Big 12 win. Despite the No. 52 ranking, the Wildcats own a 7-10 record, with an unimpressive 1-6 record in conference. Kansas State’s only conference win came March 30 against Kansas. It was the last time the Wildcats claimed victory this season. But even if the Mountaineers are unable to claim victory this season, Samara said she is confident the program is headed in the right direction. “It’s a little bit easier now to know what they need to be doing to play at that level now that they’ve been through a season of Big 12 tennis,” Samara said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

“The process is definitely smoother now. Going into the Pinstripe Bowl, it was all about trying to get everything in for the game, and now we’ve had a couple months just to get everything in. It’s just been a much smoother process,” he said. More than 100 former Mountaineer players will be in attendance, as the weekend also serves as WVU Football Alumni Weekend. The players will be recognized during the first quarter of the game. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

WVU welcomes Maryland West Virginia to end spring season vs. GW, Marshall

Forward Kate Schwindel takes a shot during a game against Miami last season.

by meghan carr sports writer

The West Virginia University women’s soccer team will compete against Maryland at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The short spring season is coming to an end for the Mountaineers, who are currently 2-2 with two games remaining. Their two losses came against Ohio State and St. Francis (Pa.). Maryland (3-0) is unbeaten so far in its spring season. It has competed against Rutgers, the Washington Spirit and AFC Torino USA. The Terrapins lost seven seniors from the 2012 season, so they are a team almost entirely comprised of young members. Jonathan Morgan, head coach of the Terrapins, said he feels the spring schedule he put together has tested his young players and will continue to do so. The spring season has allowed several players to step into their new leadership positions with ease, including junior forward Kate Schwindel, who has been a part of two Moun-

taineer championship seasons. Schwindel was second-leading scorer for the Mountaineers in 2012. She recorded nine goals and eight assists. She has recorded two goals so far in the spring season, one each against Pittsburgh and St. Francis. Senior forward Frances Silva led the Mountaineers with 11 goals and two assists for the historical 2012 season. Silva has been a part of three championship seasons. The Overland Park, Kan., native scored two goals in a shutout game against Duquesne in the Mountaineers’ spring opener. Associate head coach Lisa Stoia talked about the importance of having Silva and Schwindel on the team. “When you’re thinking about team leadership, you always look to your older players,” Stoia said. “I do think this team is good about helping each other out no matter what class they are, and I think Silva and Schwindel’s leadership will be vital to this team next season.” Wednesday the team received their championship

rings, symbolizing the historic first Big 12 title for the program and WVU. Stoia, Silva and Schwindel talked about the significance of their newest championship and what makes their program successful. “This is our first Big 12 championship, so all the other rings we have, even dating back to my playing years, come from the Big East. So, it’s an important moment,” Stoia said. Silva credits her coaches preparation as a reason for the Mountaineers’ success. “We have coaches that really prepare us well for the league, obviously,” Silva said. “They did so much extra homework coming into this year since they were not as familiar with the teams in the Big 12.” West Virginia will look to continue improving and developing against Maryland Saturday. Admission is free to the public for every home game this spring season. The Mountaineers’ final spring game will take place April 27 at 2 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia head coach Jill Kramer calls out signals to her team during a match last season.

by jon fehrens sports writer

The West Virginia University volleyball team continued its preparation for this weekend’s matches against George Washington and Marshall. Head coach Jill Kramer has seen her team go undefeated in its past three matches and likes where the team is headed. “There have been girls stepping up everywhere lately. Brittney Sample made some really good decisions in her setting and ran the court really well,” Kramer said. “They have a good feeling out there right now; they know when they can score and not just setting up plays that won’t score.” “Anna Panagiotakopoulos leads our team’s defensive mentality, which has been great of late. She has been digging a lot more balls which (has been) a great help,” Kramer said. “Our middle blockers (are) doing a lot better job of seeing what is going on the other side of the net,

which allows them to run the net and help our defense out.” Even though WVU is coming off their most successful weekend of the spring season, coach Kramer still sees holes that her team needs to fill. In their match against George Mason, West Virginia picked up the first set but fell badly in the second. “We were all right in the first set against George Mason, and in the second, we weren’t very good at all,” Kramer said. “I think some of that is we are still gaining our identity. “We did a pretty good job of that for the most part over the weekend, but it is still something that we will continue to work on.” The volleyball team has been finding their identity in two-a-day practices all week – a tactic that Coach Kramer believes will carry their momentum into the weekend. “We had a long talk about how we are in the process of going somewhere, and this is what comes along with it,”

Kramer said. “We have to keep working hard all the time.” As the spring season carries on and this young volleyball team continues to compete, their identity will slowly come into shape. This weekend is less about the opponent or the score at the end of the game and more about the team finding themselves. “I really don’t have a clue about George Washington or Marshall; it is much more about us,” Kramer said. “We are really focused on us and what we need to do. “This spring has been focused on our defense and our defensive transition, and those are the most important things to us right now. “It is pretty cool to see now that the pieces of the puzzle are beginning to take shape.” West Virginia will be on the road this weekend as they take on Marshall and George Washington Saturday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
