City discusses economic concerns by ashley tennant staff writer

City issues, economic development struggles and alcohol concerns in the downtown area were among the topics discussed during Tuesday’s Morgantown city council meeting and were certainly the most hotly debated. Main Street Morgantown delivered a special presentation during the meeting to discuss the array of issues. Terri Cutright, executive

director of Main Street Morgantown, said the group traveled to Charleston, W.Va., Tuesday to receive the largest grant presented by the governor. “The grant we received, ‘Growing, Healthy Communities Grant’, was $14,500, which we plan on using for our Culinary Health Program,” Cutright said. “It’s going to help construct the culinary station, as well as help us purchase some kitchen equipment and develop some programs for healthy

lifestyles in Morgantown.” Main Street Morgantown also received a $2,500 grant from Longview Power, which the group plans to use to fund its utility box project. George Papandreas, president of Mainstreet Morgantown and local business and property owner, addressed some of the issues he believes the city needs to work together to change. “Morgantown has problems; we have traffic, we have narrow sidewalks that sometimes rowdy crowd

This spring, West Virginia University students, faculty and community will have an opportunity to participate in a unique and colorful 5k race. WVU graduate and Miss Morgantown 2013 Ashley McLaughlin will host the Children’s Miracle Network Color 5k Run/Walk in cooperation with the local Miss America Organization. The event will highlight the Miss America Organization’s national platform of the Children’s Miracle Network and will also introduce Miss Morgantown’s “Get West Virginia Healthy” initiative. As Miss Morgantown, McLaughlin will focus on teaching West Virginians the importance of eating well and living a healthy lifestyle. McLaughlin said her platform’s emphasis on being fit and her love of fundraising made it perfect for her to organize a 5k race. “I’ve always been really into fundraising and have really enjoyed doing this type of thing,” McLaughlin said. “I always wanted to put a 5k together, so when I was named Miss Morgantown it gave me the platform to do something on this large scale.” When McLaughlin de-

cided to coordinate a 5k race, she knew she would need to do something unique in order to appeal to racers. The 5k run/walk will be a public event open to those 18 and older. As participants advance through the race, they will be covered in paints of various spring colors. The race will be similar to the national race known as “The Color Run,” but it is not an affiliated race. “There are so many people organizing 5k races for the spring time, I wanted to do something unique,” McLaughlin said. “I knew I wouldn’t get enough people or enough publicity for this great cause if I didn’t.” The Color 5k will take place Saturday, May 11 at 10 a.m. on the Monongalia Rail Trail. Awards will be given to the top three male and top three female racers. Refreshments and drinks will be available for all participants. McLaughlin encourages students to stay in town after finals for the race as a way to celebrate the completion of another school year. “This will be an exciting event for the city of Morgantown and a fun way to raise money for an incredible charity,” McLaughlin said. Participants are encouraged to preregister for $15

Student-athletes ‘speak out’ on personal journeys By Caroline pETERS sTAFF WRITER

Student-athletes are often seen by their peers as “perfect” – they are believed to often “have it together” both on and off the field. Five West Virginia University athletes shared their personal journeys yesterday, as part of the West Virginia University StudentAthletes Speak Out. The event was held in part for a course that requires the students to speak to communities. West Virginia University professor Carolyn Atkins said she was pleased to introduce her group of student-athletes. The speakers included football players Kenneth (KJ) Myers, Brandon Napoleon and Will Clarke and women’s soccer player Bryanna McCarthy and women’s basketball player

Averee Fields. Myers, wide receiver for the Mountaineers, was the first to step to the podium. “GOALS,” Myers said. “Is an acronym for Go, Objectives, Adversity, Letting Go and Sacrifice.” Myers shared struggles he has faced that have conflicted with his goals “How many of you want to be successful?”Napoleon said. “Show of hands.” As the room raised their hands slowly, Napoleon told the crowd that he was a good student in middle school; however, he was friends with the wrong crowd. Even though Napoleon was not partaking in drugs and drinking, his image was ruined. Napoleon changed friends in high school and said he learned a difficult, but valuable lesson.

Metropolitan Theater hosts famed researcher, documentary director by jacob bojesson correspondent

Scott Tinker, co-producer of the award-winning documentary “Switch,” screened his film and answered questions from the audience Tuesday night during his Festival of Ideas lecture. Tinker spoke in front of a full house in the Morgantown Metropolitan Theatre about different forms of energy and which are the most efficient. Aside from his duties as director of the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin, Tinker spends his time traveling around the world, spreading his message. “I’m trying to build a common understanding of energy; that’s my passion,” he said. “Nothing is perfect – no energy source is without challenges, (and) the important thing is to change the way we think about energy so that we can change the way we use it.” In the documentary, Tinker visits several countries across the globe to look at the different ways countries use energy in an effort to sort out how we can all improve and conserve. In Norway, more than 90 percent of the energy used is powered by water, and several other European countries have been able to find environmentally and economically friendly solutions, such as wind power. Those countries have built their systems with longterm goals in mind. Tinker said he supports these types of systems, but he said he fears they are unlikely to catch on in America, because such practices aren’t imKristen Basham/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM mediately profitable. “Almost all things challenging involve the Dr. Scott Tinker speaks at the Morgantown Metropolitan Theater Tuesday before the showing of ‘Switch,’ his documentary exploring the complexity of energy consumption and production around the world. see switch on PAGE 2

WVU to host sport management conference by jacob bojesson correspondent

The West Virginia University Sport Management Club will host the International Innovation in the Field of Sport Management Conference April 4-6. “One day is focusing on the market industry of sports, the PR and the marketing communication aspects of it,” said Lauren Fozard, vice president of the WVU Sport Management Club. “The second day is internationalism, (and) it will

focus on the global industry of sports.” Attendees will also get the opportunity to tour Mountaineer Field and indoor practice facilities. Registration will be held Thursday, and events and speakers will be featured Friday and Saturday. The conference is hosted annually and rotates between WVU, Drexel University and St. John’s University. It is free, open to the public and will feature several events and keynote speakers.

“We’re opening it up to all students this year,” Fozard said. “We have at least five other schools that are coming.

Student organization to host annual News Trivia Bowl By Shelby Toompas Staff writer

West Virginia University’s Society of Professional Journalists student organization will be holding its first annual News Trivia Bowl to put undergraduate students’ news skills to the test. The goal of the News Trivia Bowl is to offer a fun, quiz show-style competition among three-person teams. Senior broadcast journalism student and SPJ president Branford Marks said he heard about the club and got involved after he transferred to WVU and spoke with the former president. “Every club in the (Perley Isaac Reed) School of Journalism has its own individual direction, and when I

became president this year, I wanted to incorporate programming and events that not only included individuals in the Journalism School but also attracted other students around campus, as well,” Marks said. Questions will be centered around a variety of news from the nation, West Virginia, sports, entertainment, celebrities and lighter news from around the world. Tom Stewart, a journalism professor and adviser for SPJ, said he will be determining what questions will be asked with the help of some of his colleagues. “I want to find questions that are interesting, not debatable and fun,” Stewart said. “A lot of college students follow celebrity news and sports, so there will be

those questions, but there will also be questions from the lighter side of politics.” Up to 24 teams, consisting of three undergraduates each, may register to compete with their fraternities, sororities, clubs, majors or two other friends. Registration will close April 5 or when 24 teams have registered. “Our goal is to host an event with a fun and competitive angle, and we hope a lot of other organizations on campus come out to get involved and see how well they know the news,” Marks said. “I don’t believe there’s been a trivia-type event on campus before, and it’d be really fun to see who keeps up with the news and current events among different students on campus.” The registration fee is $15

per team. The first-place team will win $150 and a trophy, and second place will receive $30. Then the top six teams will be notified that night to compete in the final round May 1 at 7 p.m. in front of a live audience at the Mountainlair’s Gluck Theatre. “We were looking for an event in the spring that would be for organizations and students around campus and hit on the fun, quizshow type of a competition,” Stewart said. “We decided to have the finale during dead week to give students a midweek break.” During the first round, teams will receive questions via PowerPoint presentation and answer on a sheet of paper in hopes of advancing. On championship night,

two, three-team semifinals will be held first, then the winner will advance immediately to a two-team final. Students, faculty, friends and members of the community are invited to come watch the championship round and donate $1 to the Mountainlair’s food bank, The Rack. The emcee for the finale will be former SOJ graduate Josh Copen, who hosts the Josh Copen Morning Show on WFGM. Stewart said since SPJ’s primary focus is news, he and the members of the club thought it was a natural event for them to sponsor and a way to reach out and get college students thinking and talking about the news. “I’ve always enjoyed the news. And I spent 30 years

However, McCarthy said even she was human enough to encounter this problem. “One reason I lack selfconfidence is because of my height,” McCarthy said. “While my friends would joke about it, it really bothered me sometimes.” McCarthy said being dedicated and working hard this proves the Sport Management program at WVU is among the best in the nation. “I think it’s going to be a huge thing for the University, especially for the College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences,” Peasley said. “We are a top-ranked program. I think we’ll get a great response. That’s what allows us to grow.” Registration for the conference will be held in the Mountaineer Ballrooms, Thursday, April 4.

in a newsroom, so it’s a big part of my life,” Stewart said. “I think there are quite a few students here at WVU who are just as interested in the news as I am, and this is a way to get some fun out of that.” Each team will compete in the first round, April 16 at 7 p.m. in Room 205 Martin Hall.

Fields said since WVU was so far from home, it was a big change. “I was not used to never being able to meet someone’s standards,” she said. When her team was told they needed to take a mandatory ice bath, she broke down. “It was the cherry on my already melting sundae. Tears began to fall and I cried,” she said. However, the ice bath meltdown served as Fields’

turning point. “You must realize that perfection isn’t possible. However, that should never discourage you. I am not perfect, but I am good enough.” Clarke gave a speech entitled, “Neither and Anchor nor a Sail.” Clarke said he was lucky to have had an active father growing up. “My dad never told me how to live,” Clarke said. “ Instead, I watched him live and learned how to do it.”

After the speeches, Clarke shared a message for WVU students. “We’re old enough to know what is right and what’s wrong. Try not to fall into temptation. Don’t be afraid to be a leader and not fall into the crowd. “A person of value is someone who looks into more things than, getting money. It’s a man who keeps a steady job and helps his family.”

painless and make them want to come back and do it again. It’s the bottom level of economic development, that grassroots thing, which makes up a downtown.” Bill Byrne, sixth ward councilor, discussed the issue of alcohol in the downtown area and said he believes certain restaurants and bars should close earlier to eliminate crime, alcohol abuse and the frequency of DUIs. “One issue that comes up all the time is, basically, the

... perception of downtown that people have, is that the proliferation of alcohol is out of control,” Byrne said. “One thing as a community that we haven’t effectively addressed is the issue of downtown and alcohol. And to some extent, Main Street Morgantown hasn’t tackled that issue to the extend that I think it should.” Byrne said he believes more bar and club owners should join the meetings about the city to eliminate the alcohol issues occurring

in the downtown area. Byrne cited a line from a letter written by Papandreas. “The perception and the reality of an unsafe and an unfriendly type of downtown in evening hours is something that has to be dealt (with),” Papandreas wrote. City Council elections will be held April 30. For more information about city council, visit www.morgantownwv.gov.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Les Revenantsâ&#x20AC;? Mogwai

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cerulean Saltâ&#x20AC;? Waxahatchee Although Katie Crutchfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recording moniker â&#x20AC;&#x201C; named for a creek near her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rural home â&#x20AC;&#x201C; might be difficult to say, her raw voice and heartfelt lyrics couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more clear. After finding herself at a personal, emotional and professional crossroads, Crutchfeild took refuge at her childhood home in Alabama, moving in with her parents to give her wounds time to heal. While there, she was snowed in and left with little to do for more than a week but contemplate, write and record. The recordings became â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Weekend,â&#x20AC;? the first release as Waxahatchte. Her frankly delivered words are often as painfully clever as they are painfully true. Instead of sounding lamented or introverted, her lyrics sound more like someone thinking aloud, ruminating on hard-learned, bittersweet truths. The lo-fi song cycle of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weekendâ&#x20AC;? received widespread acclaim, affording the formerly struggling musician the opportunity and motivation to create â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cerulean Salt,â&#x20AC;? its more polished and diverse follow-up. These recording techniques and lone guitar of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weekendâ&#x20AC;? disguised Crutchfeild as a confessional folk artist. On â&#x20AC;&#x153;Salt,â&#x20AC;? also recorded in a home studio (this time in Philadelphia and with a producerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help), her still sparse guitar is now properly micâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d and finds itself accompanied by minimal arrangements of bass and drums. The songs still sound like first-takes, recorded live and let stand without overdubs or production accents. Far from stripping the project of its intimacy, the addition of other musicians highlights its themes of loneliness, alluding to the terrifying fact that is possible to feel alone in the company of others. The more-defined arrangements recall the defensive emotionalism of bands like Sleater-Kinny and Built To Spill and help reinforce comparisons to the blunt feminism of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guyvilleâ&#x20AC;?-era Liz Phair. With its candid discussion of personal fears and feelings of defenselessness, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saltâ&#x20AC;? cultivates an atmosphere of personal identification and empathy between Crutchfeild and her audience. Even on a highly-anticipated album, she makes each listener feel like they are the only person sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had the guts to say this to. Because she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wallow or ask for pity, listeners are forced to feel with her, not for her. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;cdy

For the past several years, the Scottish post-rock quintet Mogwai have been very busy. In 2011, their seventh studio album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will,â&#x20AC;? explored the origins of Mogwaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trademark sound with production assistance from longtime collaborator Paul Savage. Savage, who worked the controls on Mogwaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1997 debut, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Teamâ&#x20AC;? helped the band keep one eye on their past as they headed into the future. Just as they did with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kicking a Dead Pig,â&#x20AC;? the remix collection of their debutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings, the band followed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hardcoreâ&#x20AC;? with the release its evil twin â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Virile Wretched Lore.â&#x20AC;? On both collections, a hand-selected group of fellow artists take turns re-imagining the source material, often turning the post-rock howl into something you could almost dance to. On the heels of these two recent releases comes â&#x20AC;&#x153;Les Revenants,â&#x20AC;? Mogwaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent foray into soundtrack composition and its first for a television show, the French zombie drama of the same name. Although Mogwai has previously contributed to soundtracks, (writing the score to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait,â&#x20AC;? a French football documentary, and working with composer Clint Marshall and avant-classical ensemble Kronos Quintet to produce the soundtrack to Darren Arononofsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fountainâ&#x20AC;?) this is their first attempt to write a score suitable for The Living Dead. The show, which attempts a more humanizing take on the zombie storytelling trend, features a cast of zombies who, upon suddenly rejoining the living, are trying to resume their former lives. The hallmark of most of Mogwaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work has always been their tendency to favor the crescendo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to let things begin in a comforting whisper that quickly rises into a deafening roar. However, on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Les Revenants,â&#x20AC;? a tense, delicate atmosphere is created through simple resonating cords and skeletal arrangements. The music rarely peaks; instead, it lingers in the air, haunting and then disappearing. Even if this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the Mowgai of crippling volumes and crashing waves of noise, these fragile sketches can be just as unsettling. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;cdy

Notable New Tracks Various Artists â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoaâ&#x20AC;? by Earl Sweatshirt Before being sent to a reform school for a year by his mother, Thebe Kgositsile, who performs as Earl Sweatshirt, was generating a lot of attention. He and the other members of the rap collective Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All were just beginning to be noticed online. While Thebe was gone, OFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity exploded thanks to debut albums from group leader Tyler, The Creator and affiliate Frank Ocean. Although Tyler, a master of publicity and self-promotion, is the spokesman of the group, Sweatshirt is unarguably its most talented member. His unexpected absence during the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise was greatly felt and widely speculated. Now restored to his rightful place at Tylerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, Sweatshirt is preparing to release his debut, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Doris.â&#x20AC;? In his second single since returning home, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoaâ&#x20AC;? shows the time off had no effect on the razor-sharp wit and astounding lyrics of Sweashirtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultraviolet, abstract flow. The track picks up exactly where Thebe left off, continuing to explore the same material his mother found so offensive that she him sent away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alightedâ&#x20AC;? by Chelsea Light Moving Even in Sonic Youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early no-wave days, the group gravitated around the partnership of Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon. For more than thirty years, the couple was an outlying example of an interband relationship that not only worked, but also fueled the creative process. With he and Gordon no longer together and Sonic Youth on hiatus, Moore has a new band, Chelsea Light Moving, which has just released a self-titled debut. This latest endeavor, named for a business owned by Phillip Glass prior to his success as a composer, finds Moore returning to his earliest influences of hardcore punk and noise rock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alighted,â&#x20AC;? one of the albumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highlights, is seven minutes of the most aggressive, dynamic guitar playing displayed on a Moore-related project in some time. Moore and company display their full range of guitar virtuosity, shifting from thundering breakdowns and machine-gun riffs to the distortion and dissonance of his earliest work. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;cdy

WVU Chamber Winds ensemble performs at Creative Arts Center by Noelle harris a&e writer

The West Virginia University Chamber Winds Ensemble performed Monday evening to an inspired audience inside the Creative Arts Center. Under the direction of John Weigand, the ensemble is made up of students who play flute, bassoon, oboe, clarinet, horn, cello and bass. The group performed music arranged for a chamber wind ensemble, including Wofgang Amadeus Mozartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overture to The Impresario, k. 486,â&#x20AC;? Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Octet in E flat major, Op. 103,â&#x20AC;? a Patrick Clements arrangement of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hungarian Dancesâ&#x20AC;? by Johannes Brahms and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serenade Op. 43â&#x20AC;? by Emil Hartmann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Impresarioâ&#x20AC;? is a piece originally written for a full orchestra that tells the story of an impresario who attempts to put together a company of singers and actors. The arrangement played by this chamber winds ensemble was largely driven by oboe and clarinet, while the bassoon and horn kept the beat moving. The piece was played

well with amazing talent from the performers. In particular, the oboe was stunning. Ludwig van Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piece, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Octet in E flat Major, Op. 103,â&#x20AC;? is comprised of four movements: Allegro, Andante, Menuetto and Presto. Allegro was the most fun to listen to because of the way the clarinet and oboe performed together. Andante was perhaps the most beautiful movement, with the primary melodies mainly shared between the oboe and the bassoon. The final movement, Presto, was the driving force of the song and let each of the instruments shine. A duet between the bassoon and clarinet and melodies and strong chords by the clarinets, horns and oboes highlighted this piece. The ensemble played this piece extremely well, even though it was quite long â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a testament to their dedication. The WVU Chamber Winds played two of the 21 Hungarian Dances in the concert. These pieces were composed using traditional Hungarian folk songs and

tunes. The best part about the two they played was, without a doubt, the horn part. Horns usually play a backup role in traditional music, but those dances had strong horn parts that were central to the pieces. Hartmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serenade Op. 43â&#x20AC;? is the lightest of the pieces the ensemble played. It included all of the instruments from the ensemble, making for a different piece than what the ensemble had played earlier in the concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serenadeâ&#x20AC;? provided a great ending to the concert. It was dynamic, and it showcased the talents of the performers. Overall, the WVU Chamber Winds put on a great concert. The concert highlighted the talent of the performers, and the selections were great for their skill level. The WVU Chamber Winds will perform another concert April 29 at 7:30 p.m. in Bloch Hall in Tyler Herrinton/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM the Creative Arts Center. WVUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chamber Winds ensemble performs a selection at the Creative Arts Center Monday.

Iraq: 10 years of war

A U.S. marine watches a statue of Saddam Hussein being toppled in Firdaus Square in downtown Baghdad on April 9, 2003. Ten years ago this month, President George W. Bush led the United States to war with Iraq under the false pretense that Saddam Hussein’s regime possessed weapons of mass destruction. It is now known there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and multiple analyses of Bush’s decision-making process leading up to the war revealed an administration

that was hell-bent on an invasion, regardless of the actual threat posed by the regime. It’s been almost 10 years since George W. Bush stood in front of a “Mission Accomplished” banner on the USS Abraham Lincoln to declare the end of “major combat operations in Iraq.” Of course, this was only the beginning. It’s been 10 years, trillions of dollars, thousands

of American deaths and tens of thousands of Iraqi deaths. It’s been 10 years, and our government’s credibility around the world is still recovering from the lack of trust born out of the deception that precipitated the Iraq war. It’s been 10 years, and the same democrats who once criticized the Bush Administration for its stance on civil liberties are

now carrying out the exact same abuses. It’s been 10 years, and Iraq is governed not by a democratic government, but by a sectarian regime that is currently abetting a genocidal dictator in Syria. It’s been 10 years since the late Robert C. Byrd stood before the Senate as one of the only members of Congress in either party who had the courage

to speak out and warned the nation that going to war with Iraq was a monumental mistake. As our government continues its military adventurism in Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere, let us reflect upon these past 10 years so we can learn from our costly decision to go to war.

Politics and the pope: similarities of church and state molly robinson columnist

There are only two topics in my conversation repertoire that I actively try to avoid: politics and religion. It only takes one wrong political opinion to lose a would-be or even already close friend. Often we tend to become dogmatic in our approach to politics, resulting in a fine line between nearly every conceivable issue between the different political sects currently battling over the most recent hot topic. The second is a subject I have neglected to write about in my stint as an opinion columnist for fear of the overwhelming diversity of the students here at West Virginia University, many of whom show the same dogmatic trait that many reserve for politics. However, with the recent debatably scandalous retirement of the pope, I’ve realized that these two incredibly powerful topics – which have both built and destroyed nations – are not so different from one another. Despite the obvious example of the pope, who many considered a more powerful leader than any prime minister or president, the religious-political relationship is not exactly a novel idea. Just Google “are most republicans…” and let the search engine suggest the most popular questions, which, in order, end the sentence with “religious,” “rich” and “racist”. Do the same with democrats, and the most common are whether democrats are “atheists,” “liberals” and “poor.” To translate the findings of my study, most people on Google are very concerned about the religious standings of these parties. What is notably missing from these categories, or conspicuously lower on the list of suggestions Google offers, are basic, fundamental questions

Pope Francis is driven through the crowd in his popemobile in St. Peter’s Square for his inauguration mass at the Vatican, Tuesday. about the two parties. Even if more republicans are Christian and democrats atheist (neither of which I can confirm), a religious belief should not be the top motivating factor, or even an issue at all, when researching politics. While perhaps on the surface a successful venture, the separation of church and state is apparently a primary characteristic associated with these political parties. But there is something else I find interesting about the correlation between religion and politics: the overwhelming popularity of these two subjects. Just take a look at the paper in your hands or turn

on CNN; it’s obvious these hot-button issues are such an inherent part of the human race that we have begun to use them against each other. And it is that issue, the one that concerns a person’s inherent worth, substance or whatever it is people look for in a friend that disturbs me the most. It’s not just that a “wrong” opinion or two can put someone in hot water. And it’s beyond the horrifying religious wars waged throughout history and the low-blow political debates I’ve watched. My real problem with using these two subjects to form an opinion on a person is that there is no right

or wrong answer. There is nothing more “right” about being either a republican or a democrat. There is nothing better or worse about being Muslim or Jewish. And the reason there’s no completely correct political opinion or religion to uphold is because, when it comes down to these two subjects we have absolutely, indisputably no idea. I don’t care about the religious experience that led you to Buddha or God or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And I don’t want to hear about why one political opinion is better than another for X,Y and Z reasons.

At the end of the day, if there was one true political path to take, or one completely understood and provable higher power, then that would be the end. There would be no more wars or genocides or nuclear bombing. And perhaps more frightening, no one would have anything to talk about. Perhaps this is why these subjects stand the test of time; there is always some new side of the debate to focus on and pick over. But in reality, we do this because both politics and religion are the two topics we have no sound data to analyze and no instructions to follow. Of all the certainties in

life, there are only two, overwhelmingly important topics that are essentially gaping black holes staring back at us. So, before you bring up the topic of politics or religion, stop and think for a moment how little we humans know about these two subjects, which is certainly not enough to use against each other. Rather than the teachings of religious and political figures, remember instead a lesson from Socrates, a man not of politics or religion, who said that the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. And I’ll be the first to admit that I’m clueless.

DAILY HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you experience a division between your home life and your personal life. One is not reflective of the other. This lack of cohesion might be a result of giving and receiving mixed signals, which could affect your relationships. If you are single, you might want someone who is nurturing. Remain open to your different possibilities, and resist either/ or thinking. If you are attached, the two of you will need to work on being on the same page. After June, your bond will grow. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Innate tension causes you to make demands in your unique style. You will want to take charge if someone else isn’t doing the job. Your natural leadership characteristics emerge. You might not pick up on the subtle innuendoes in a situation. Tonight: Celebrate spring. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You might be witness to a friend -- or a situation -- getting off track. The severity of just how far off will be dependent on your attempt to help those involved gain clarity. The problem will be fixed when people are able to see the big picture. Tonight: Be clear in your choices. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Your honesty takes you to a new level of understanding, and others respond in kind. A family member might express his or her thoughts in a harsh way. Don’t take it personally. You know what you want, and you know what others want. Tonight: Buy a favorite dessert.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You go with the flow, despite encountering difficulties and dismayed people. The news you hear could be cluttered and not totally accurate. Encourage others to brainstorm while you follow through on a nonrelated -- but equally important -- issue. Tonight: Listen to a loved one. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HH You can do whatever you want. Listen to news with an open mind. Your ability to understand others will emerge, and it might seem necessary to make a project run to completion. If possible, tone down your strong personality right now. Tonight: Don’t be so hard on yourself. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH You like what is going on with a child or loved one. Deal with others directly, and know full well the extent of a certain problem. Your ability to honor a change will allow greater ebb and flow with a partner. This person will appreciate your efforts. Tonight: Watch out for spring fever. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Others have a lot to say, regardless of whether you are interested in hearing their opinions. Listen to someone who has a lot to share, but do some questioning. Your schedule could become rather hectic. Go with the flow rather than get aggravated. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Realize that you might be a little less adventuresome than usual or perhaps even slightly negative. Examine your options, and then decide which direction you want to head in. Know that an attitude change will open up more possibilities. Tonight: Let your

Morgantown Sound tastes the Sweet Life

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Morgantown-based stoner rock band Sweet Life performs for U92FM’s production, Morgantown Sound.

by lacey palmer associate A&e editor

The Mountainlair’s Gluck Theatre was filled with stoner rock Monday evening as local band Sweet Life played for U92 FM’s Morgantown Sound. This energetic garage band has become a local favorite and frequently plays across town. Although they’ve never performed on Morgantown Sound before, Sweet Life was excited for the opportunity. “I’ve heard the show a few times, and I really enjoy it,”

said vocalist Mike Roberts. The group has been around for about four years and has undergone a few name changes, but the style and end result of the music have not changed, which is showcased by the group’s latest extended play, “Disenchanted.” “A lot of the material on our new record is the same, and it’s just been changed around,” Roberts said. “But they’ve all been playing together since they were really young – especially Evan (Devine) and Nick (Leombruno).”

The band, composed of Roberts, guitarist Leombruno, drummer Devine and bassist Jason McCarty, provides dark, hardcore rock with a melodious alternative twist, which draws in a variety of fans. According to Leombruno, their influences range anywhere from MC5 and The Stooges to more modern bands, such as The Bronx. “When we get bored, we’ll learn a cover, but normally, we try to write our own stuff,” Leombruno said. “As far as writing, usually Jason and I will come up with an idea,

bring it to practice, and then we just figure it out.” As the group played Monday evening, it was easy to discover the garage band roots. The group played facing one another in a semi-circle, just as any band would to communicate and perfect their sound during practices. While laughing and smiling frequently and tuning amplifiers to find the perfect sound, the band clearly enjoys what they’re doing, which is possibly the most important aspect for any successful band.

Through vocal harmonies, haunting guitar riffs, lengthy jam sessions and a little controlled screaming, the group played intensely and enjoyably. Sweet Life plans to continue developing their music, as they have with their most recent recording project. “We’re actually writing another record, and we’re going to put it out on tape as well as a digital download,” Roberts said. “We’re a lot happier with the material. It’s simpler, catchier and well-written, and we’re pretty pumped about it.”

With the love for the craft and the dedication to the music, it is easy to see that this stoner rock band will continue to make a name for themselves in Morgantown.

Dopapod to torch 123 Pleasant Street with funk-rock excellence by hunter homistek A&e editor

National funk-rock powerhouse Dopapod will perform at 123 Pleasant Street tonight at 10 p.m. With a sound heavy in jam sessions and improvisation, Dopapod is sure to please the audience and

get the bodies moving early and often. “I expect the crowd to warm up to Dopapod really quickly,” said Louis Guiliani, owner of 123 Pleasant Street. “Their style of music is groove-based and very catchy.” The historic Morgantown venue recently hosted per-

formances by Pittsburghbased jam-band Jazzam and national act The Werks – both groups which boast a sound comparable to Dopapod. Crowds at these shows relentlessly danced and grooved, and Dopapod should provide a similar environment within the

walls of 123. “The vibe at 123 is distinctly different,” Giuliani said. “As opposed to other places in town, it’s not (about) the drink specials or ladies night or how drunk you can get. 123 is all about the music first, and everything else follows from there.”

The Summer Schedule Is Now Online!

Billed as a “metal band with groove and soul,” Dopapod has blazed a trail to national recognition for the past three years. With a hard-hitting yet intimate setlist loaded with party-friendly tunes, Dopapod is rapidly approaching superstardom, and their stop at 123 will provide a standout chapter in their eventual legacy. Giuliani said he thinks Dopapod will welcome the change of scenery 123 offers touring acts. “123 is like a little oasis on the circuit for touring bands,” Giuliani said. “Often, bands will comment on how surprised they were to find a place like 123 in West Virginia. 123 is uniquely 123.”

The 123 owner also urged prospective concertgoers to act fast on this opportunity, as he does not expect Dopapod to linger in the small club scene for much longer. “Dopapod has enjoyed a fast ride to becoming a strong presence in the jam band scene,” Giuliani said. “Take advantage of checking them out in club setting while you can.” For fans of funky, groovy rock with a metal edge and an all-around good time, 123 Pleasant Street is the place to be Wednesday evening. Tickets to the show are $5. Concertgoers must be 18 years old to attend. hunter.homistek@mail.wvu.edu

Outfielder Bobby Boyd had one of West Virginia’s two hits in the Mountaineers’ 8-0 loss to Marshall Tuesday night.

Blair, King combine for two-hitter in Thundering Herd’s 8-0 win against West Virginia by kevin hooker sports writer

The Mountaineers faced in-state rival Marshall for the first time in 15 years Tuesday, and the Thundering Herd pitching duo of Aaron Blair and Josh King held West Virginia to just two hits in an 8-0 victory against the Mountaineers. The loss gives the Mountaineers their third straight

loss and drops their overall record to 8-12. Marshall improved to 9-10 with the win. Blair threw a no-hitter in six innings of work, striking out 11 WVU hitters and issuing four walks. The Mountaineers’ best chance to score came in the first inning with the bases loaded, but Blair struck out the next three batters he saw. The West Virginia offense broke up the no-hit-

March not the same without WVU participating Doug walp sports writer

This week 68 college campuses across the country are gearing up for arguably the most exciting period in all of college sports, which continues tomorrow night with the opening play-in round of the 2013 NCAA tournament. Yes, the newest edition of March Madness is finally upon us. Highlights of unforgettable championship moments will roll, and hopeful fans will scribble the names of equally anticipative universities into millions of brackets all across the nation. Seedings, underdogs and upsets will rule watercooler talk for the next three weeks, and unsurprisingly, as March Madness can stir up excitement in even the most casual sports fan. But as any student, alumnus or general fan of a Division I university would surely attest, the circumstances are completely changed when you actually have a real, vested interest in the most exciting and competitive basketball tournament on the face of the earth. The competition is usually great from a thirdparty point of view. Even if you don’t have a horse in the race, most sports fans can really enjoy the swings, thrills and eventual triumphs of the NCAA Tournament. It’s an electrifying time. But let’s be honest, it’s still simply not the same experience as when it’s your school battling for survival through the daunting tournament stages. Unfortunately, West Virginia men’s basketball fans will not get a taste of that experience this year. In fact, even though the

Mountaineers made the tournament in the two previous seasons, you could argue that it’s actually been three years now since March Madness was truly alive in Morgantown. Yes, I’m referring to the Mountaineers’ run of 2010 – perhaps the most memorable college basketball experience in West Virginia’s storied history. But even though it was just three years ago, for many Mountaineers’ fans, the historic run seems like it took place eternities ago. Part of the reason is that the Mountaineers seem to be simply headed in the wrong direction. In fact, over these last four seasons, West Virginia has gone from the Final Four, to a second round exit, to a first round exit, to not even making the tournament this year. It’s migrated from one of the best basketball conferences in the history of the game to the Big 12, where college hoops is an afterthought to the gridiron in most circles. To make matters even worse, this year was the first and only time since Huggins returned to West Virginia in 2007 that his team couldn’t procure an NCAA tournament bid, and this year’s West Virginia squad had the worst winning percentage of any Huggins team in his 31 years of coaching. The NIT wouldn’t even have us this year, as seven consecutive losses rounded out West Virginia’s forgettable inauguration into its new conference. Now, none of these things necessarily bode well for the future of West Virginia basketball, which inevitably makes the nostalgia of the 2010 run all that more intense. Because despite the

ter in the eighth inning with an infield single from Bobby Boyd. Billy Fleming also had a double in the ninth inning to give the Mountaineers their other hit. Matt Frazer was hit by two pitchers, while right fielder Brady Wilson walked twice. Early errors for the Mountaineers proved costly, as the Thundering Herd jumped to a 6-0 lead in the third inning. Short-

stop Taylor Munden threw the ball into the stands on a double play attempt, which allowed the Thundering Herd to score the first run of the game. First baseman Ryan McBroom also had a throwing error in the second inning, allowing another run. The Thundering Herd tacked on another three runs in the third inning and eventually extended

the game to 8-0 in the fifth inning. WVU starting pitcher Zach Bargeron pitched one inning, allowing one earned run, one walk and four hits. Jared Hill was a bright spot for the Mountaineers, allowing one hit in his 1.2 innings of relief pitching. Jacob Rice, who had the third-best batting average in the Big 12 prior to yesterday, went 0 for 3 with one

strikeout. Marshall struck out 17 batters on the day, while the Mountaineers comparatively only had three. The Mountaineers return to Charleston, W.Va., this weekend, taking on Big 12 Conference opponent Texas Tech for a three-game series. The first game begins Friday at 6:30 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia runningbacks coach JuJuan Seider hands the ball off to junior running back Dreamius Smith during spring practice last week.

by cody schuler managing editor

When people think of West Virginia’s offensive attack, the first thing that comes to mind is passing – and perhaps rightfully so. The Mountaineers’ passing game – spearheaded by quarterback Geno Smith and wide receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey – broke virtually every passing and receiving record in program history. This upcoming season, on the other hand, will be much different. You don’t have to go far to find this sentiment to be true – just ask head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Probably the strength of where we are right now is the runningback position,” he said. “That is where all of our production is returning.” With newcomers in several offensive positions,

including quarterback, the Mountaineers can find solace in the fact that its top rushing options from a year ago will return. Juniors Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison will be supplemented by a fresh infusion of talent in the form of newcomers Dreamius Smith and Wendell Smallwood. Smith, a junior college transfer from Butler Community College (Kan.), is a 5-foot-11, 217-pound bruiser who finished with 984 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground last season. The Wichita, Kan., native was also offered by Boise State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State – which comes as no surprise considering he was regarded by many recruiting services as a topfive junior college running back recruit. Smallwood, a freshman from Wilmington, Del., also fielded multiple offers from BCS conference schools such as Auburn, Boston College and Tennessee. First-year running backs coach JuJuan Seider said the addition of Smith and Smallwood has created

great competition and camaraderie amongst the running backs – something he sees as a good thing. “I’m excited. They are all competing, and they seem like a great group,” he said. “Nobody is selfish; everybody is cheering each other on. We have to have each other’s back.” Seider also said that due to the physical nature of Big 12 play, having multiple options at the position will be a positive. “In this league you get pounded a lot, so we want to keep those guys encouraging each other, especially with a couple of new guys here pushing each other,” Seider said. Seider said he has been seeing little improvements daily but has a lot more work to do in preparing the running backs for the upcoming season. “Every day is a work in progress. They’ve just got to continue to work on the finer points of things – just keeping their hands together and not letting the ball get below their eyes,” he said. “I’m just coaching those guys up on those aspects so they can be more valu-

able coming out of the backfield and not just running the ball.” Seider and the running backs also will be relying on the offensive line, which also is under the first-year direction of Ron Crook. So far, Crook said he is simply getting acquainted with his players and letting them know what he expects of them. “It’s coming along really well. I’m starting to understand what makes them tick a little, and that will continue,” he said. “Hopefully, by the end of the spring I’ll have a good feeling about them, and they will have a good feeling about me.” Crook said he wants the offensive line to know their play affects the rest of the team, including the running backs. “The thing I always tell them (offensive line) is the greatest example of team sports, because if we screw something up, the running backs have to pay the price for it, or the quarterback is,” he said. “So they start to take into the accountability and things like that.” charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Study: Therapy as good as surgery for knee repair (AP) — You might not want to rush into knee surgery. Physical therapy can be just as good for a common injury and at far less cost and risk, the most rigorous study to compare these treatments concludes. Therapy didn’t always help and some people wound up having surgery for the problem, called a torn meniscus. But those who stuck with therapy had improved as much six months and one year later as those who were given arthroscopic surgery right away, researchers found. “Both are very good choices. It would be quite reasonable to try physical therapy first because the chances are quite good that you’ll do quite well,” said one study leader, Dr. Jeffrey Katz, a joint specialist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He was to discuss the study Tuesday at an American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons conference in Chicago. Results were published online by the New England Journal of Medicine. A meniscus is one of the crescent-shaped cartilage

discs that cushion the knee. About one-third of people over 50 have a tear in one, and arthritis makes this more likely. Usually the tear doesn’t cause symptoms but it can be painful. When that happens, it’s tough to tell if the pain is from the tear or the arthritis — or whether surgery is needed or will help. Nearly half a million knee surgeries for a torn meniscus are done each year in the U.S. The new federally funded study compared surgery with a less drastic option. Researchers at seven major universities and orthopedic surgery centers around the U.S. assigned 351 people with arthritis and meniscus tears to get either surgery or physical therapy. The therapy was nine sessions on average plus exercises to do at home, which experts say is key to success. After six months, both groups had similar rates of functional improvement. Pain scores also were similar. Thirty percent of patients assigned to physical therapy wound up having surgery before the six months was up, often because they

felt therapy wasn’t helping them. Yet they ended up the same as those who got surgery right away, as well as the rest of the physical therapy group who stuck with it and avoided having an operation. “There are patients who would like to get better in a ‘fix me’ approach” and surgery may be best for them, said Elena Losina, another study leader from Brigham and Women’s Hospital. However, an Australian preventive medicine expert contends that the study’s results should change practice. Therapy “is a reasonable first strategy, with surgery reserved for the minority who don’t have improvement,” Rachelle Buchbinder of Monash University in Melbourne wrote in a commentary in the medical journal. As it is now, “millions of people are being exposed to potential risks associated with a treatment that may or may not offer specific benefit, and the costs are substantial,” she wrote. Surgery costs about $5,000, compared with $1,000 to $2,000 for a typical course of physical therapy, Katz said.

work to be done in order for that elusive success to return to the Mountain State. There are no quick fixes from a 13-19 season to a deep run into the NCAA tournament. Hopefully the same disappointment and disdain that has possessed West Virginia supporters in the

last few years can ultimately serve to motivate the returning Mountaineers and incoming freshman next season, because Morgantown really just isn’t the same at this time of year without a little Madness.

Delaware’s Delle Donne a force unlike any other by cody schuler managing editor

A collective sigh of relief was let out when the West Virginia women’s basketball team found out it did, in fact, earn an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament. After the initial excitement had passed, the Mountaineers took a step back and began to analyze their situation, including their opponent and the location of the game – something head coach Mike Carey said is a mixed blessing. “We got a really good draw. We have to play on Delaware’s home floor, and that’s a good draw for us because it’s close, so hopefully we can get some fans there,” he said. The Mo u nt a i n e e r s may have a strong showing of supporters, but that doesn’t necessarily help them contain Delaware’s 6-foot-5 forward Elena Delle Donne. “(Delle Donne) is a big time player, needless to say. Some of their other players are very good, so you can’t just concentrate on her and let the other players have a career night,” Carey said. “We’re going to have to be aware of where she’s at and try to do a good job on her but also do a good job on the rest of them.” Delle Donne, a consensus first-team all-American, is the country’s second leading scorer, averaging 25.3 points per game. She is also the team’s leading shot blocker (63 blocks) and second leading re-

bounder (230). Delle Donne is a transformative figure in today’s women’s game as she provides an unparalleled combination of size, scoring and athletic ability. Jim Crowley, the head coach of St. Bonaventure, experienced her myriad skills up close when the Bonnies visited Delaware last season. Powered by Delle Donne’s 26-point, 18-rebound performance, the Blue Hens cruised to a 61-49 home victory. Crowley, who was interviewed for an ESPN article about Delle Donne published earlier this March, said her rare skill set is rivaled by few others in women’s basketball today. “For our game, she’s changing it,” he said in the article. “I just think the way she can do so many things and it appears so effortless – obviously, she’s put an incredible amount of time into her game and getting better, but she elevates over people. She moves without the ball. She does all that stuff within a 6-foot-5 really athletic skill set,” he said. “I think that’s the progression. It’s not a kid doing all those things who is 5-foot-8. It’s a kid doing all those things at 6-foot-5.” Though many are not surprised by Delle Donne’s success, her path to the spotlight has been a windy one. Delle Donne was the nation’s top women’s basketball recruit in 2008. The McDonald’s all-American was sought after by ev-

ery major program in the country, including Connecticut and famed head coach Geno Auriemma. Delle Donne, though, spurned the Huskies’ scholarship offer and put basketball aside, instead opting to play volleyball at Delaware. Her decision was the result of being burned out; she said her life had revolved around the sport, and the basketball prodigy received her first scholarship offer in the seventh grade decided, at the time, that basketball was not what she wanted to do. After a year as a middle hitter on the Blue Hens volleyball team, Delle Donne elected to return to the hardwood. And in her sophomore year – her first on the basketball team – she finished third in the country in scoring, averaging 26.7 points per game. Nearing the conclusion of her collegiate athletic career, Delle Donne is getting a chance to reflect. During the Colonial Athletic Association Conference tournament, Delle Donne became just the 13th player in NCAA women’s basketball history to score 2,900 points in a career – a feat made more impressive considering she did it in three years. “Our focus today was just to have fun on the floor together,” Delle Donne said after Delaware’s 75-54 win over Hofstra in the CAA semifinals. “The season is wrapping up and we want to enjoy

WVU falls to No. 25 after record-breaking night by meghan carr sports writer

West Virginia gymnastics head coach Jason Butts talks to his team during a meet earlier this season.

Another high score and win in its last regular-season meet did not help the West Virginia University gymnastics team move up in the regional qualifying score (RQS) rankings; it only moved them back. A final score of 196.05 capped off a 2013 season full of record-breaking moments, including Kaylyn Millick’s nearly flawless floor routine, earning her a 39.55 against then-No. 3 Michigan. And she did this against Iowa State in front of the sixth-best crowd in WVU gymnastics history (2,522). The most significant moment came in the last meet of the season when this team didn’t just rewrite history – it created history. This is the first WVU gymnastics team to score a 196 or better in every home meet of its season. Head coach Jason Butts said many times that scores don’t matter to him as much as his gymnasts hitting their routines. Still, even he was impressed by his Mountaineers’ performance this

seasone especially since many of these impressive scores have come against top-ranked teams such as No. 4 Michigan and No. 2 Oklahoma. In the last three weeks the Mountaineers have continued to post high scores and several wins, but also continued to drop in the rankings. After posting a 196.55 against then-No. 3 Michigan Feb. 24, they moved up seven places to No. 16, but since then they have only fallen back. They are currently ranked No. 25 in the RQS standings – four places back from where they were previously ranked last week. The Mountaineers still have a chance to move up in the rankings depending on the score they earn when they compete in the Big 12 Championship meet this Saturday in Ames, Iowa against No. 2 Oklahoma, and Iowa State. The Mountaineers do not necessarily have to win the Big 12 Championship, but they do have to score high enough to replace the 195.15 score they earned at NC State earlier this season.

The NC State score is currently bringing down their overall RQS average. The RQS rankings take three road and three home scores and averages them. It also drops the highest mark they earned this season, which is the 196.55 against Michigan, Towson and New Hampshire. If they can score higher than the 196.55 that they earned against No. 4 Michigan then that score will be their new high score and they can average the 196.55 score into their three home meets. Setting a new high score would help out this team a lot if they hope to move into the top 18 RSQ rankings before the NCAA Regional’s seeding comes out. Three Mountaineers currently own national rankings. Freshman anchor and Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, Jaida Lawrence is currently ranked No. 34 (9.89) on vault. Junior Hope Sloanhoffer ranks No. 38 (39.145) in the all-around and senior Kaylyn Millick checks in at No. 39 (39.14) in all-around, and No. 48 (9.875) on floor. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
