Passing of the Rifle Frat welcomes disabled teen

BY MELISSA CANDOLFI STAFF WRITER

Since the beginning of last year, members of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity have been enjoying the company of a local high school student living with Down syndrome.

Every Monday through Thursday, the brothers of West Virginia University’s TKE open their doors to Spencer Stemple, a 17-year-old senior at Morgantown High School.

Spencer said coming to the house has been the best time of his life because the brothers treat him like a full-fledged member.

“We play sports – that’s my favorite, like basketball, football and baseball,” Spencer said.

In the beginning of the fall 2009 semester, the TKE brothers were approached by Spencer’s mother, Patty Stemple, about spending time with him after school. She received the suggestion from her son who is a TKE member at Shepherd

University.

“My son told me to call the TKE house,” Patty said. “We went to a meeting and talked about what it would entail. The brothers talked about it and decided to do it.”

Patty said the brothers are great with Spencer, and their time together brings out the best in him.

“They are providing a very needed service, and that makes them feel good about themselves,” she said, “We have been very open about it and how good it has been for us.”

Spencer is a very active teenager, so when he is with the brothers, they are constantly getting into something, Patty said.

“He likes to play golf, he likes to swim, and he loves to be play basketball,” she said, “He can play all the sports and do those things in a normal way with his normative peers, and that really makes him excited.”

The brothers are good at

New mascot Burwell receives his musket

BY ERIN FITZWILLIAMS CORRESPONDENT

The rifle has officially been passed.

Brock Burwell, the West Virginia University new Mountaineer Mascot, was presented the musket by former mascot Rebecca Durst in a ceremony Thursday.

Former Mountaineer Mascots Rock Wilson (1991-1993), Brady Campbell (2006-07) and Natalie Tennant (1990-91) all spoke about the history, role and significance of the mascot.

Burwell talked about his journey to finally become the mascot after two years of being an alternate.

“It really didn’t hit me until a few weeks after I was announced,” Burwell said. “I realized how many pushups I was going to have to do, I’ve been in the gym.”

He has aspired to be the mascot ever since he appeared as the “Little Mountaineer” with his uncle and former mascot Wilson.

Although frustrated by being an alternate, Burwell said it was the greatest time in his life and is very excited to be the new mascot.

During his speech, Wilson called up his 3-year-old son, River, who was clad in tiny buckskins and carried a plastic musket.

“When I was the West Virginia Mountaineer, I had seen a tradition 10 years before where a guy brought a Little Mountaineer to

‘Mini-scholarships’ created for students

Medicine practice in West Virginia, Brick said.

“It’s good to be recognized, but it’s more important to do the work,” Brick said.

WVU’s School of Nursing was also ranked No. 72 for its Masters of Science in nursing program by U.S. News & World Report.

The rankings are by nursing deans and faculty at schools across the country.

The recognition is proof of the quality programs at WVU, said Georgia Narsavage, dean of the School of Nursing.

“Hopefully this will help potential students realize that WVU is the place they want do their nursing degree at,” Narsavage said.

Students who need financial assistance paying for the 2010-11 academic year can turn to the West Virginia University Foundation for help.

The Foundation launched a new campaign April 12 called “Stepping Up For Students,” which aims to collect money from donors to give as scholarships, said Greg McCracken, director of the University Fund at the WVU Foundation.

“What we are trying to do is ask alumni and friends of the University to look at the website and make gifts toward the campaign,” he said.

The Foundation’s scholarships will be different than typical scholarship or financial aid packages in that they will only range from $500 to $1,000, McCracken said.

“What we’re really doing is creating a mini-scholarship, and it’s a need-based scholarship,” he said.

Many times students are successful academically and work to make ends meet but still need a little help staying in school.

The Foundation hopes to help more than “just a handful” of students, but aid as many WVU students as possible, he said.

“Hopefully if we raise enough money we can

Wilson told the tale of how the Mountaineer came to be in the 1920s, and then in 1934 when the Mountain Honorary began to select an official mascot.

He also talked of his time as the mascot and how he is still rec-

ognized today for his three-year term.

“The experience I just described is about to be lived by that young man (Burwell) sitting right there, and I’m so excited for him,” Wilson said.

Wilson had been an alternate mascot for two years before his term and followed a female Mountaineer, just as Burwell has,

Tennant said.

Durst, the second female mascot, completed her 2009-10 term wearing the buckskins and representing WVU. “This past year has really been a whirlwind. It’s been challenging, it’s been very, very exciting, and above all, it has changed my life,”

School of Medicine, Nursing receive top honors

BY ANN COMPTON STAFF WRITER

West Virginia University’s School of Medicine received two national honors in U.S. News & World Report’s 2011 edition of “America’s Best Graduate Schools.”

The school was recognized in April as 10th-best for rural medicine and ranked 49th for primary care. The last time WVU placed in the top 10 was 2008.

The rankings are based on ratings by medical school deans and senior faculty in the nation’s 126 accredited medical schools and 20 accredited schools of osteopathic medicine, according to the website.

stitutions and their opinion leaders in the country of the quality programs we have here at WVU,” said James Brick, WVU School of Medicine interim dean.

The school has a history of outreach to the rural population, Brick said.

Currently, there are 25 to 30 outreach clinics and educational programs where medical students

can learn and work, Brick said.

The outreach programs are a continuation of the University’s commitment to its land-grant beginnings, Brick said.

“We have a very significant commitment to rural health care here at WVU,” Brick said. “This school has a long-standing tradition of service.”

Every student in the School of Medicine must learn and care for patients in rural areas as a requirement for graduation, he said.

“West Virginia is a very rural, sparsely populated state, and we feel that it’s important to go to the people and serve them,” Brick said.

Recycling on the rise Paper increases from last year but plastic, metal down

BY DAVID RYAN A&E EDITOR

An estimated 18 tons of electronic waste was collected by West Virginia University as part of a free recycling event April 23.

As of now, that number is 28 tons below last year’s, although recycling at the University has increased since 2007 when it offered paper, plastic and cardboard services around campus.

However, in the past year, recycling of plastic has decreased 3 percent, aluminium decreased 25 percent, scrap metal decreased 31 percent, steel cans decreased 61 percent and cardboard decreased 47 percent.

Paper recycling at WVU has increased 20 percent, with 392 tons of paper recycled in 2009 more than the 326 tons in 2008.

The University recycled a total of 46 tons of electronic materials in 2009, a 25 percent increase over a total of 37 tons of recycled

material in 2008.

Clement Solomon, director of the Office of Sustainability at WVU, said recycling is now ingrained into everyday routine around campus.

“People are quietly doing it.

There’s no big fanfare with regard to it,” Solomon said.

“It’s actually become an everyday activity. People do it their own way, whether it be collecting it for a few days and taking it to the bin or doing it on a daily basis.”

The University’s WE CAN sustainability project hosted the April 23 event in conjunction with local technology recycle company PC Renewal.

The event took hundreds of items, such as TVs, printers, computers, DVD players, telephones and cell phones off the hands of Morgantown and WVU community members, said Barbara Angeletti, Recycling Coordinator for WVU. Angeletti said the event was important due to the nature of the material found in electronics.

“These items contain toxic substances (lead, mercury) that must be removed before disposal,” she said. “Otherwise, these toxins leach into the ground at the point of disposal and contami-

nate the disposal area.”

There is also an economic benefit to the University for recycling, she said.

“When our refuse trucks tip their load at the transfer station, it costs $58.50 per ton,” she said.

“When the recycling trucks tip their load at the recycling center, it costs WVU nothing.”

WVU does not currently offer its own recycling service for electronics but is contracted through PC Renewal.

The company is able to dispose materials in electronics in an environmentally safe way according to EPA guidelines, according to its website.

“These (electronic) items also contain gold and copper, which is both valuable and recoverable, so deconstruction is necessary to capture the valuable components and to remove the harmful ones,” Angeletti said. “It is also illegal to put these items in the trash.”

The recycling numbers show that the WVU community has begun to embrace recycling, Angeletti said.

“Recycling is one of the easiest ‘green’ practices to adopt because it requires almost no sacrifice,” she said.

With Finals Week just around the corner, West Virginia University students have several online and on-campus options for summer classes.

WVU will offer more than 1,500 undergraduate courses, including 340 sections of undergraduate online classes this summer.

Those courses include basic courses, as well as a variety of new and unique courses, said Lynn Reinke, director of communication for Extended Learning and Summer Sessions.

Many of the WVU departments will offer new classes to give students opportunities they wouldn’t necessarily have during the year, Reinke said.

“There are some classes that we definitely think are interesting, so we wanted to highlight them,” Reinke said.

These include: “Barley to Beer,” “Monsters, Vampires, and Liberated Women” and a Native American Studies course with the opportunity to travel to Alaska, Reinke said.

The online course “2012 Myths of the Maya” will help students better understand the Mayan culture, said Bonnie Brown, co-

ordinator of the Native American Studies program.

“This is a course that will debunk some of the myths that have been generated from the Mayan culture, especially the 2012 myth, and hooking into the fact that so many people are intrigued in the Mayan calendar,” Brown said.

Students will learn about Mayan literature, mythology and will learn how the Mayan calendar has been interpreted in new-age literature and apocalypse conspiracy theories from a professor who studied in Mayan country, Brown said.

Professor Michael Ennis has a doctorate in literature and has published several materials about Mayan culture, Brown said.

“I know that the students will learn a great deal from Dr. Ennis in this really unique online summer class,” she said.

A second Native American Studies course, “Yup’ik Culture and History,” will include a 10day trip to Tuntutuliak, Alaska, Brown said.

“This is what we call a travelimmersion class,” Brown said.

“They will be visiting a Yup’ik village community of about 300 people.”

“We do care about the community,” Larson said. “(Spencer’s) brother is a brother of TKE at Shepherd University, so we are taking care of our own.

Spencer is now a TKE brother, too.”

TKE hopes to continue spending time with Spencer during the following school year as well.

FOR MORE INFORMATION Visit www.summer.wvu.edu or contact course instructors.

WVU will also offer more basic classes that fulfill General Education Curriculum requirements, Reinke said.

“The important message to students is how flexible the schedule is,” Reinke said. “We have a variety of things between online, on-campus and the adventure courses.”

Summer classes provide more flexibility for travel, work or trips home, Reinke said.

Under the new 12-week term, students have the opportunity to take a three-week class, take a three-week break and come back to take a six-week class, Reinke said.

This format allows students to still register for classes from now until summer, Reinke said. brittany.cole@mail.wvu.edu

SGA could do more with bigger budget The West Virginia University Student Government Association’s proposal for a larger budget of $1.4 million should be approved in the fall.

SGA currently has a budget of $70,000 for projects around campus – pittance in relation to the scope of the organization’s ambitions.

The current budget hampers multiple levels of the organization’s effectiveness.

SGA routinely has to deny requests for funding for student organizations due to its limited budget.

Once the first round of dona-

tions are made and governors are able to work on their platforms, there is little money to continue business.

“It sounds like a lot, when you really think about it, 15 governors, executives, you don’t have that much freedom to spend,” said Ron Cheng, SGA vice president.

Cheng said the request for a budget increase would put WVU in line with other peer institutions, whose student leaders have more budget freedom.

Cheng said SGA President Chris Lewallen visited peer institutions to figure out where

their money came from: student fees.

Depending on the outcome of an expected referendum vote in the fall, Cheng said a fee of $2 would be applied to each student per credit hour. A student taking 15 credit hours would pay $30 in fees, for example.

It might seem odd we are championing an increase of student fees while at the same time championing a tuition freeze.

With the vote in the coming fall, this fee won’t apply until the next round of student leaders.

Though $30 may sound like a lot, a sizable budget of $1.4 mil-

lion will give our student leaders much more power to improve the student experience at WVU. Field space for intramural sports has long been a concern, and Cheng said the group has often had no funds to help maintain areas or help establish projects.

With the additional money, the organization will be able to finally contribute to the solutions of campus problems, not merely advocate on the students’ behalf at the University level.

Of course, a bigger budget will require much more oversight.

Cheng said how the funds will be overseen will most likely fall on a professional accountant or the appointment of a supervisor.

We hope these oversight details are provided, in full, before the referendum.

Knowing SGA has a system to oversee the additional funds will be key to the student body approving such a request. We hope the students of WVU seriously consider this request.

The SGA at WVU can be so much more if given adequate funding.

Reforming election system can reduce partisan gridlock ZACH VIGLIANCO

COLUMNIST

It is not uncommon to turn on a news program and hear someone decry the tremendous level of partisanship evident in today’s political system.

Politicians and pundits alike have testified about just how bad our current situation is and wistfully reminisce about the “good ole days,” when one must assume cooperation was king and a hearty chorus of Kumbaya was often heard emanating from the halls of the capitol.

The idea that Congress was once a magical place where everyone got along and put aside their ideological differences to work toward the good of the country is an appealing fiction, with an emphasis on the latter word.

Still, when the most sweeping legislation in nearly half a century is signed into law without a single vote from the opposition party, something may in fact be amiss.

One might argue the reason

health care reform didn’t receive any bipartisan support was because the bill was so ideologically one sided or alternatively that Republicans were set against reform no matter what the bill contained, for political reasons. There is, however, an important explanation that is frequently overlooked.

Our political system inherently punishes bipartisanship and rewards extremism.

This systemic problem is largely the result of our system of political primaries. Most people don’t realize primary elections have not always been an important part of our political process.

Until the early ’70s, many states didn’t even hold primaries, and the political parties themselves often selected who they would run for the general election. Primaries were instituted in an effort to make the selection process more democratic and responsive to the popular will.

The problem is that the people who vote in primary elections are not representative of the population as a whole. A breakdown of the entire Amer-

ican electorate would put the vast majority of Americans somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum, with relatively small, but vocal, minorities filling out the right and left extremes.

With such a large voter pool to court, one would think that the political environment should be fairly receptive to moderate politicians, who by definition are more willing to compromise and work in a bipartisan manner. But it’s not, and primaries are partly to blame.

Turnout in primary elections is much lower than in general elections. This allows the relatively small number of extremists have undue influence in this phase of the process.

There is ample evidence for this distortion.

Joe Lieberman lost his Democratic senatorial primary in 2006 but won the 2006 general election in convincing fashion as an independent. Arlen Specter, a noted moderate, switched parties in 2009 to avoid a primary battle and is expected to win reelection in 2010. Former Florida governor Charlie Crist leads statewide general election

polls for a U.S. Senate seat but trails challenger Mark Rubio in polls for the Republican primary – he is widely expected to announce an independent bid for the seat.

It’s evident the average primary voter is more ideologically extreme than the average general election voter. Thus, having a record of bipartisanship or expressing a willingness to compromise is not the message primary voters, for the most part, want to hear.

One reason primary turnout is low and dominated by the party orthodoxy is intensity of interest. People with strong political convictions generally care more about politics and are more likely to be politically active. Overcoming this interest gap is difficult if not impossible, but it is not the only factor that pushes primary electorates away from the center.

The structure of primaries, most importantly who is allowed to vote and rules governing what candidates advance, can be reformed so that less extreme candidates can compete in a primary setting.

The first step is to end the

practice of closed primaries, in which only registered members of a political party can vote in that party’s primary. As the number of unaffiliated and independently registered voters grow, closed primaries (still used by about 20 states, including West Virginia Democrats) shut out a larger and larger segment of the electorate.

Moving away from closed primaries would be a start, but adopting an alternative method known as “blanket” primaries could have an even greater moderating influence. Rather than forcing voters to select only from candidates of a single party, they could vote for any candidate from either party, in theory allowing moderate candidates to attract support from both sides of aisle.

Another modification sometimes associated with the blanket primary is an altered advancement rule, where the top two vote getters, regardless of party affiliation, move on to the general election. So if two Republicans or two Democrats, or one Green Party and one Libertarian, receive the most primary votes they square off in

the general election. This helps solve the problem that arises in “safe” districts, in which the winner of the dominant party’s primary is almost guaranteed to win the general election. Whatever methods are implemented, reforming the primary system is a critical first step that must be taken to reduce excessive levels of partisanship.

Apple’s use of influence dangerous NEWTON LIU

THE DAILY COUGAR UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON

In March, Apple engineer Gray Powell lost a prototype iPhone 4G at a bar while celebrating his birthday.

The one-off phone was found and picked up by a stranger who identified the object as a disguised iPhone.

Upon this discovery, he sold the phone to popular technology website Gizmodo in exchange for cold hard cash –$5,000 to be exact.

Despite the phone being remotely bricked after its disappearance, Gizmodo’s editors and bloggers in no time had released details of the phone as they snapped photos of it and threw them on their website.

At the same time, to ensure Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ dirty little secret was going to be exploited in every way possible,

DA

Jason Chen, an editor for Gizmodo, presented the phone’s observable features in a video.

Bad move, Jason, bad move.

Police raided Chen’s home Friday with a warrant to seize his computers under the premise that they had been used to commit a felony.

Perhaps Jobs was so upset by Powell misplacing his iPhone that he felt compelled to ask the police to go and trash Chen’s house.

Now, it needs to be acknowledged that Jobs isn’t exactly a doltish individual.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize, based on Gizmodo’s eagerness to publicize one undercover Apple product, that it probably wouldn’t hesitate to do the same again if it had access to any more devices.

Jobs knew that Chen was your average nerd who enjoys making what amounts to allowance money from blogging about technology and gadgetry.

As if retrieving the sacred prototype iPhone didn’t settle things

enough (Gizmodo did indeed return the phone), the police by way of Apple justified the need to storm Chen’s house with the explanation that he might have been a top-secret, super-crazy intelligence agent who had Jobs on his hit list.

But wait, perhaps we’re all missing the point. Maybe this whole fiasco is simply a marketing ploy fabricated by Apple’s brilliant marketing department.

Could we be pulling away from rainbow-colored iPod commercials in favor of epic viral campaigns?

If that truly is the case, then Steve Jobs, you’ve really outdone yourself this time. Maybe the iPad isn’t selling as well as you had hoped, or maybe college students are finally realizing your laptops shouldn’t cost more than their cars.

Willie Nelson and son to perform at CAC

BY MACKENZIE MAYS ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real perform tonight at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center.

Grammy Award winner and iconic country singer Willie has been on the music scene since the ’70s, establishing a large fanbase along the way.

Having released many successful albums, Willie is now on tour to promote his latest effort titled “Country Music.”

Willie’s son, Lukas, is his opening act on the tour and will be accompanied by his band The Promise of the Real.

According to Lukas, the band’s sound is difficult to describe and has the capability of fitting into several genres.

“Our sound is mostly folk/rock blues with Americana roots,” Lukas said. “We are sort of a jam band, too, but with rock ‘n’ roll influences.”

Lukas said this unique style has allowed the band to appeal to a variety of music fans and has made him proud to have a sound of his own.

“Everyone can like us because we integrate different musical styles into our work, but we’re not too far out there or weird,” Lukas said. “At the same time, we have a familiar and ‘at home’ sound even though our work is totally original.”

Having been on tour with his dad since he was a baby and singing and playing the guitar since age 11, the family business is something that’s become comfortable to Lukas, and he appreciates the opportunities it’s given him.

“It just feels like I’m playing music with him (his dad, Willie) like I would at home,” Lukas said. “It’s fun, and it’s really about the only time I get to see him. It’s the best quality time you could spend with someone. Singing is like sharing your soul with someone – sometimes we don’t even need to talk

because we know we’re on the same level.”

Although Lukas admits fans have realized the similarities of his voice to his famous father’s, he claims there are a few differences in their music styles.

“We’re similar in the sense that we have that same ‘Allman Brothers’ style, and we give out the same vibe,” Lukas said. “We have more of that southern rock sound, but all of his fans seem to like us, too.”

Lukas expects a great crowd at the CAC tonight and said his concerts are all about “closing your eyes, letting go and letting all your worries fade away.”

Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real are currently working on a new album and have an EP titled “Brando’s Paradise Sessions,” which will be available for sale at the concert.

Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real perform at 8:30 p.m.

Cinco de Mayo celebration to raise money for international students

Finnish stunt group ‘The Dudesons’ bring antics to the American audience with help of producer Johnny Knoxville in series ‘The Dudesons in America.’

Knoxville excited for premiere of new MTV series ‘The Dudesons’

BY MACKENZIE MAYS ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR

MTV is set to premiere its newest stunt-filled series “The Dudesons in America” next week.

Johnny Knoxville, a producer of the show, and Jukka Hilden, member of The Dudesons, discussed the dangerous stunts the upcoming season has to offer, what it has cost them and their experience in America in a conference call April 22 with The Daily Athenaeum.

The Finnish stuntman group “The Dudesons” have seen international success with its “Jackass”-like TV series and are now bringing their antics to America with the help of Knoxville, who has stunting experience himself.

The series has been a hit in Finland for 10 years, and according to Hilden, having the opportunity to continue the show in America has brought a whole new dynamic to the show and meeting Knoxville was “a match made in hell.”

“We could never afford the stunts back home, but Johnny (Knoxville) opened the door with MTV, so now it’s a whole new dimension – it’s called the ‘land of opportunities’ for a reason,” Hilden said. “The stunts we’ve been able to do here are amazing. It’s been a damn good time, and it’s a very lovable place.”

However, this new dynamic has also brought many injuries to the stunt group. According to Hilden, The Dudesons have suffered broken backs, ribs, ankles and tailbones.

Hilden said the injuries have

been worth it, and the series isn’t just about pulling fearless stunts but is about the experiences The Dudesons have in a new country.

“It’s a combination of everything. It’s about us coming here to America trying to find our place in society with a culture that is so different from what we’re used to,” Hilden said. “At the same time, it’s about doing creative and unique stunts. The whole thing is we never want to make fun of Americans – the joke is on us.”

These “creative” stunts include walking on stilts in a bullring and trying to outrun wild tigers.

Knoxville said although there are obvious similarities to his MTV series “Jackass,” there are also differences and believes the show will be a big hit with American viewers.

“I really don’t know how to compare it to ‘Jackass.’ It’s in the same spirit, but The Dudesons are doing their own thing,” Knoxville said. “I think American audiences are going to love it – it’s a whole new dimension of stunts.”

According to Knoxville, cast members from “Jackass” will make guest appearances on the new series, and “The Dudesons” will appear in the upcoming “Jackass 3D” movie.

The crew has been filming in America since January and has three episodes left to finish.

Knoxville and Hilden seemed equally excited for the new show.

“Don’t think too much into it; just tune in and enjoy us getting banged up and exploded, and have a good laugh,” Hilden said.

“It’s been a blast so far. Uncle Sam is our new best friend.”

“The Dudesons in America” premieres on MTV Thursday 6 at 10 p.m. mackenzie.mays@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia University celebrates Cinco de Mayo with a Mexican fiesta featuring music, a fashion show with traditional Mexican dresses and a folkloric dance by professional dancers.

The West Virginia Council of International Programs is hosting the event as a scholarship fundraiser tonight from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Mountaineer Mall.

The fashion show will include approximately 10 models who will showcase traditional Mexican fashion from the different regions of the country.

“In addition to the fashion show, we will have special guests performing traditional dance,” said Lisa Dunn, coordinator of Council of International Programs. “Also, music that encompasses the Mexican culture.”

According to Cecilia Orrego, member of the WVCIP, the event will not only be a great time and immerse the community in Mexican culture but will provide others with great opportunities.

“WVCIP board members are very excited and happy for this event to happen,” Orrego said. “It will give the chance to raise some money to scholarship funds and

help out our future Council International Program participants.”

WVCIP is an exchange program for professionals in the human services field from around the world and provides a four month exchange program that improves cross-cultural communications.

According to Sandra Dixon, member of the WVCIP board, the program is a nonprofit organization, and fundraisers like this one help to finance its mission of “intercultural exchange.”

“This event will showcase Mexico’s amazing diversity,” Dixon added. “It will provide members of the Morgantown and WVU communities the opportunity to experience Mexican culture in a very personal way.”

Brayn Barrera, a freshman general studies major at WVU who

Now hiring for summer and fall!

plans to attend the event said he was proud of the area for supporting such an event and is eager to learn more about a different culture.

“Events like these are the epitome of bringing diversity to the WVU campus. Not a lot of people here celebrate Cinco de Mayo other than making margaritas,” Barrera said. “It will be a good chance for others to get to see a different kind of culture and experience something that is different from their own.”

Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for children 10 and younger, and $95 for a table of eight.

The event will cater appetizers and have live entertainment, which is included in the ticket price. brittni.mcguire@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year, a partnership enhances your life and becomes far more important than in the past. You might feel out of sync sometimes when interacting on such a close level. Realize how much approval means to you. Learn to stand without it, and you will become freer. If you are single, you will desire a close relationship. As a result, you could hook up too quickly. Don’t settle, under any circumstances.

Remember, it takes a year to get to know someone. If you are attached, the two of you defer to each other depending on the occasion. This year, you will want your significant other to make more decisions. SAGITTARIUS can encompass all your time and attention.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ You have plans for the weekend that might prevent you from being present in the here and now. You feel uncomfortable with a discussion, a financial matter and others in general. Why not take off early? Tonight: Proving life is an adventure.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★★★ A key associate, friend or loved one demands to be the one making the decisions. You could be uncom-

fortable with the decisions this person makes, but you don’t have a better solution.

You come from a vibrant, centered place when dealing with others. Tonight: Go along with another’s plans.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★★ A lot of opinions come forward if you listen and challenge. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is racing through your mind. Know when to share your ideas, which might not be now. Timing is everything!

Be assertive. Tonight: Answer calls and e-mail first.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★ All work and no play is not a good recipe right now.

Friends tend to keep pushing you to join them. Meetings seem out of sync with the real issues. Use care with a financial commitment; you could go overboard with spending.

Tonight: Clear out errands first, then decide.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★★ Your fiery side emerges when dealing with a child or loved one. Your high energy gets others thinking.

You are very serious with a co-worker or associate. You take action quickly and surprise others. Tonight: Going

to extremes.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★ Keep an eye on the basics. You might be more comfortable at home. Your creativity helps you get a project and your week accomplished. Others need your stability and perspective. Use care with frustration. If you suppress it, anger can develop and you could blow up. Tonight: Happy at home.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★★ Keep conversations moving and don’t lock on any one point. Later, you can rethink these conversations. A friend could encourage you to do something you want to do.

You are high energy. A partner seems to understand you well.

He or she feels connected with your feelings. Tonight: TGIF. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★ You can gain financially if you don’t overthink things too much. Others mean well, but you might feel a little out of sync with them. A professional effort pays off in many ways. Remain centered. Tonight: Your treat.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★★ Beam in exactly what you want. With your magnetism skyrocketing, a

“maybe” easily could turn into a “yes.” Reach out for someone at a distance who you trust.

This person certainly has a strong opinion. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★ Take your time coming to a decision. If you are uncomfortable with what you are hearing, just listen. You will have plenty of time to think later. A partner takes a very strong stand. He or she knows you well. Listen to this person.

Tonight: Just for you.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★★ All arrows point to a key meeting. As a sign, you excel with people, especially in group settings. Though you might get a strong reaction from another person, express your thoughts in a meeting.

Tonight: Where people are.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★ A must appearance is inevitable. You might have a very different idea about what is acceptable to the majority.

Communication lets you know when others feel uncomfortable. Do listen. Tonight: Count on going to bed late.

Rowlesburg hosts third annual ‘May Day Celebration’

BY ASHLIE WALTER A&E WRITER

FOR MORE INFORMATION

Confederates and Union soldiers will take to the battle field once more Saturday in a reenactment of the Civil War. The all-day event is sponsored by the Tourist Commission of Rowlesburg and is a celebration of the anniversary of the town’s participation in the Civil War. The people of Rowlesburg defeated the Confederate Army in its attempt to destroy the town’s Cheat River Bridge April 26, 1863.

Although the townees were outnumbered, they succeeded due to their familiarity with the area.

This is the third celebration, but this is the first year battle site tours and rides to the top of

These tours begin Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“The ride up to Cannon Hill is worth the trip to Rowlesburg,” said Tim Weaver, commissioner of Tourism & Economic Development in Rowlesburg. “Rowlesburg is truly a magical place.”

A re-enactment of the Battle of Rowlesburg will be performed at 2 p.m., and a Civil War Banquet featuring guest speaker Michael Workman will be held at 5 p.m.

There is a Buckwheat Cake

Activision signs 10 year deal with ‘Halo’ creator Bungie SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Activision Blizzard Inc., currently embroiled in a legal shootout with two of its former game developers, has locked up the makers of “Halo” in an exclusive 10-year deal.

The company said Thursday it will bring to market the next big action game universe from Bungie, the video game studio behind “Halo,” “Myth,” and “Marathon.”

It marks Bungie’s first such partnership since breaking off from Microsoft in 2007.

Under the deal, Activision will have exclusive worldwide rights to publish and distribute all future Bungie games based on the universe on multiple platforms and devices.

Jason Jones, who co-founded Bungie in 1991 and led the creation of “Halo,” is heading up the development team.

Multiple game releases and the creation of an online community are also part of the deal, executives said.

“We certainly think of the success we’ve built in `Halo’ over the last 10 years as a minimum bar for the success we plan multiples of in the future,” Harold Ryan, president of Bungie, said in an interview.

Thomas Tippl, Activision’s chief operating officer, said Bungie laid out a compelling vision of the universe. “When it’s ready and when we’re talking about it, I think you will be blown away,” he said.

Tippl described an ongoing legal battle with Jason West and Vince Zampella, top executives at game studio Infinity Ward, as “unfortunate and unique.”

The two men have said they were fired recently by Activision so the company could avoid paying hefty royalties on last fall’s hugely popular “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.”

Activision has said in a countersuit that it fired them for insubordination and trying to poach key employees.

“I think the Infinity Ward situation is unique and unfortunate but it is not going to change our strategy nor our ability to attract the best talent in the industry,” Tippl said.

He also said profit margins on game publishing, above 20 percent in fiscal 2009, would be helped by the new partnership.

Activision is majority owned

by France’s Vivendi SA. Activision shares rose 26 cents, or 2.4 percent, at $11.19 in afternoon trading.

January departure from NBC in a “60 Minutes” interview to be broadcast Sunday.

O’Brien says he decided to leave NBC rather than accept an offer to move back a half hour in latenight because he saw no point in giving his all to a relationship that seemed to have no future.

O’Brien has signed a contract with TBS to begin a talk show in November.

Paris Hilton owes $1M restitution for failing to plug ‘Pledge This!’

MIAMI (AP) — Paris Hilton should return up to $1 million she was paid for the 2006 boxoffice bomb “Pledge This!” because she didn’t plug the film enough, an attorney for the movie’s investors told a federal judge Thursday.

The 29-year-old hotel heiress, actress and self-promoting businesswoman refused nine requests for print and broadcast interviews she should have given under her contract, said investor attorney Bryan West.

“We paid her $1 million, and we’re entitled to get at least a portion of that back,” West told U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno. “Part of what actors do is promote their films.”

But Hilton’s attorney, Michael Weinsten, said she took part in several high-profile publicity

events – including an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival – and that the contract didn’t require her to do interviews when she was busy on other projects.

Weinsten added that Hilton also had the right to approve or reject any proposals or offers.

“Paris Hilton is a brand. That is her value, and how she makes money,” he said. “She did substantial publicity.”

Hilton, who testified last summer at a trial over the dispute, did not attend Thursday’s hearing. She said previously that although dissatisfied with the finished “Pledge This!” cut, she wanted the college sorority romp to succeed and worked hard to make that happen. Yet the film only made $2.9 million.

Moreno previously rejected the investors’ effort to sue Hil-

ton for $8.3 million in damages, which included the $1 million she was paid for her acting and as executive producer.

But he left open the possibility that she might have to repay some or all of that fee as restitution if she did not fulfill her publicity obligations.

Moreno did not indicate when he would rule.

The case centers on determining the value of the appearances Hilton did against the cost of those she rejected, which ranged from a proposed appearance on NBC’s “Tonight Show” to phone chats with several British publications.

“The question is, what is the value of what she did do? Because she did do something,” Moreno said. “How do I quantify it?”

(AP) — It’s getting difficult to tell Brendan Fraser’s hammy comedies apart. Asked to explain the difference between “Monkey Bone,” ‘’Bedazzled,” ‘’Journey to the Center of the Earth” and his latest, “Furry Vengeance,” I might plead for my mummy.

Fraser has built a small, dorky industry by being an exceptionally smiley fellow.

He is cheery, positive and always gives himself fully to the movie at hand – which is more than can be said for many.

In “Furry Vengeance,” he plays a father, Dan Sanders, who has moved his family from Chicago to the Oregon woods, where he hopes to please his demanding boss (Ken Jeong) by overseeing a new suburban housing development.

His wife (Brooke Shields) and his mopey teenage son (Matt Prokop) miss the city, and regard Dan’s obsessive loyalty to his boss increasingly skeptically.

As Dan supervises the “Rocky Springs” development, an uprising takes form. Their habitat threatened, the wilderness’ animals seek to frighten off the intruders. Led by a raccoon, the tiny insurgents outwit and bedevil Dan until his sanity begins to slip.

It’s a bit like if Alfred Hitchcock had made “The Birds” as a 5-yearold.

The cleverest thing about “Furry Vengeance” is that the company Dan works for touts itself as a “green company.” In truth, it’s nothing of the sort.

They happily explode beaver dams and trample through pristine forest to lay down pavement and a shopping mall.

AP

Brendan Fraser stars in ‘Furry Vengeance’ and takes on mother nature.

Eventually, the forest animals are locked up in a Guantanamo Bay-like prison.

Thankfully, the movie doesn’t extend this metaphor.

Dan’s own money-hungry boss curses the pseudo environmentalists who live green “only when convenient.”

Dan, who drives an SUV hybrid, very much falls into that category.

He barely survives before learning that it’s not always easy to be ecofriendly.

The lesson is no coincidence: “Furry Vengeance” is produced

by Participant Media, whose earlier films include the Oscar-winning documentary “The Cove” and “Food Inc.,” neither of which is exactly shy about its respective message.

The animals here, thankfully,

aren’t talking cartoons, though they’re close.

The film uses a mixture of CGI and real-life, trained animals – which is surely a tad hypocritical, too, for a film about letting nature be.

(After all, “The Cove” centers on Ric O’Barry, who became an activist after rebelling against the treatment of a dolphin for a TV show: “Flipper.”)

No animals may have been hurt in this production, but Brendan Fraser was. That he bothers with films like this is dispiriting because of his talent, as evidenced by movies like “The Quiet American” and “Crash.”

Those films made use of his smiley demeanor for a superficial cover, not just vacant broad comedy.

Lennon lyrics to be auctioned in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — For the right price, some lucky Beatlemaniac will be able to own the lyrics to the final song on the classic Beatles album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

John Lennon’s handwritten lyrics to the Beatles classic “A Day in the Life” are being auctioned in June, Sotheby’s announced on Thursday.

The double-sided sheet of paper features Lennon’s edits and corrections in his own hand – in black felt marker and blue ball point pen, with a few annotations in red ink.

It is expected to fetch between $500,000 and $700,000 when it is sold in New York on June 18.

Rolling Stone magazine listed “A Day in the Life” at No. 26 in its compilation of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and “Sgt. Pepper” won four Grammy awards in 1968.

The lyrics stirred controversy when the Beatles released the album in 1967.

The song was banned by the BBC because it twice features the line, “I’d love to turn you on,” which was interpreted as supporting illegal drug use.

The song was also left off copies of “Sgt. Pepper’s” sold in several Asian countries for the same reason.

The album’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was alleged to have glorified the use of the hallucinogenic LSD, a claim that bandmembers denied.

In addition, “A Day in the Life” features the lyric “he blew his mind out in a car,” which Beatles aficionados claim is a reference to the accidental death of Tara Browne, the Guinness heir and close friend of both Lennon and Paul McCartney.

FRIDAY APRIL 30, 2010

GREG CAREY SPORTS WRITER

West Virginia offense still hard to gauge Spring football is about progression and development.

Spend a few days at Mountaineer Field and you’re sure to frequently hear those two words roll off the tongue of West Virginia’s players and head coach Bill Stewart.

It’s also an opportunity for guys who haven’t received significant playing time to prove themselves and younger players to catch up to speed.

With that being said, West Virginia concludes its spring session tonight with the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, and no one is quite sure what to expect.

For one, projected starting quarterback Geno Smith will be standing on the sidelines as he recovers from a broken bone in his left foot.

That leaves Coley White to manage both offenses. White is the same guy who requested a switch to slot receiver at the end of last season.

White may still make the move to receiver, but he was unable to get a head start on learning the position because the Mountaineers’ two other scholarship quarterbacks – true freshmen Barry Brunetti and Jeremy Johnson – didn’t enroll early enough to participate during the spring.

As a result of Smith’s injury, WVU still has yet to find its offensive identity.

When running back Noel Devine and slot receiver Jock Sanders announced they were returning for their senior seasons, offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen welcomed back his two best offensive weapons.

But Smith differs from most recent Mountaineer quarterbacks in that he is known for his passing prowess and likes to stay in the pocket.

So will WVU primarily be a passing team if Smith is fully healthy in the fall, or will they rely on Devine to carry the offense?

It remains to be seen which direction Mullen chooses to go in, or if he will try to find the perfect balance and mix in a heavy dose of runs and passes.

A few seldom used and relatively unknown players have made a name for themselves this spring, but there’s no way to know the impact they will have when meaningful games begin.

Running back Daquan Hargrett has stood out in the last week and runs as hard as anybody on the roster. Fullback Matt Lindamood has also displayed his ability as a powerful runner, although the bulk of his success has come against backup defenders.

But with Devine rightfully sure to receive the bulk of the carries, there may not be enough touches for either guy to make any noise in the fall.

Running back Jordan Roberts made a splash in the spring a year ago, and after receiving limited playing time in the regular season, Roberts decided to transfer to the University of Charleston (W.Va.).

Those types of storylines build over the spring.

There’s also a buzz about an increased role for tight ends Tyler Urban and Will Johnson.

That sounds all too familiar to what was said a year ago, and the duo combined for just 16 catches and two touchdowns.

WVU has seldom used tight ends for the last decade, and there’s no guaranteeing this pair will have a major impact in this year’s offense, despite how the constant praise both have received from the coaching staff.

While there have been some feel-good storylines this spring, it’s much more difficult for them to continue into the regular season.

Everything seen tonight should be taken with a grain of salt, because it may not mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. gregory.carey@mail.wvu.edu

Da’Sean Butler took the West Virginia men’s basketball team to places it had only been one other time in the program’s history.

In his final season as a Mountaineer, Butler led his team to the program’s first 30-win season and its first Big East Conference Championship.

His 17 points per game in his team’s first four NCAA Tournament games helped the Mountaineers upset No. 1 seed Kentucky in the Elite Eight and clinch WVU’s second Final Four appearance – the program’s first since 1959.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

BY TONY DOBIES SPORTS EDITOR

West Virginia made some changes to its spring football practice schedule this year, but none may be more visible than tonight’s Gold-Blue Spring Game.

The game, which is expected to kick off at 7:25 p.m., is being held on a Friday evening for the first time. Traditionally, the Mountaineers end spring with a Saturday spring game at a noon start time. The coaching staff pushed back the start of spring camp in part to allow projected starting quarterback Geno Smith time to heal his broken bone in his left foot.

“We want to try something different this season and get under the lights and put a little spark in Morgantown,” said WVU head coach Bill Stewart prior to the spring season.

Students are admitted to the game for free with a valid WVU ID. Tickets are on sale at the gate for $5. They were also sold in advance throughout the week at the Mountaineer Ticket Office.

“I am pretty excited,” said WVU safety Robert Sands. “It is a Friday night game underneath the lights in our own home stadium, so hopefully we will get a big turnout. I hope we show them what our defense has.”

WVU Director of Sports Mar-

361 High Street

keting Matt Wells said he is unsure whether a larger crowd will be expected from last year’s 12,000 fans.

“It’s hard to predict,” Wells said of the attendance. “But we certainly hope for a larger crowd.”

He added that a lot will depend on the weather. It is expected to be around 80 degrees and sunny at the start of the game.

“If nothing else, the later date gives you the chance to have a little better weather, which could help the crowd,” Wells said.

Having the game on a Friday night could hurt the amount of fans from outside the area traveling to Morgantown who have to work during the day or have other schedule conflicts.

But, Wells said, the fact the players would need to prepare for finals over the weekend, it was necessary to have the game on Friday. In addition, the team showed an interest in playing under the lights.

“It could certainly hurt the number of people from the southern part of the state that come up for the game,” Wells said.

The athletic department has tried to add activities to the festivities and make it seem like an all-evening event.

The events include a Fan Festival, autograph signing with former players and a game between

GOLDBLUE SPRING GAME INFO When: Tonight at 7 p.m.

Gates open at 6 p.m.

Where: Milan Puskar Stadium Tickets: $5 at the Mountaineer Ticket Office or sold at the gate prior to the game. WVU students can enter the game for free with a valid WVU ID. All proceeds from the game will benefit the WVU Children’s Hospital. There will be no re-entry into the game.

Butler had six game-winning shots during his senior season, including two in the Big East Tournament, and was selected to the Conference’s first-team as well as earning second-team allAmerican honors. He was named the Big East Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

The Newark, N.J., native ended his career as the third-leading scorer in the program’s history and also exits in the top 20 in career assists, rebounds, 3-pointers made, games played, minutes played and steals.

able games for finger painting and an autograph session with former players. An OldTimers Game featuring those former players will take place at 7 p.m. and will last for 25 minutes.

Spring game format: Teams will split into two teams. The first-team offense and defense will represent the blue team. The remainder of the players will dress in white.

What to watch: Projected starting quarterback Geno Smith will not play, so sophomore Coley White will take all QB snaps. Head coach Bill Stewart said he would like to get the tight ends involved in the game. The defense returns nine starters. Starting kicker Tyler Bitancurt is out with an injury, so WVU will use a very young kicking game.

FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR After being named the Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year along with earning a spot on the league’s second team, Sarah Miles was named the DA Female Athlete of the Year by the DA Sports staff.

Miles beat out track’s Chelsea Carrier by four points. Women’s soccer senior Carolyn Blank received the most first-place votes, ending with four.

Miles was the catalyst in the women’s basketball team’s record-setting year that saw the Mountaineers finish with a program best 29-6 record including an appearance in the Big East Championship game and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The point guard was one of four Mountaineers to average doublefigure scoring on the season, finishing third with 10.1 points-pergame including a season-high 18 points in WVU’s Big East semifinal win over Rutgers.

Miles also reached double-figure scoring in both of her team’s NCAA Tournament games.

She led the Big East in assists, finishing with 5.88 per game, including ending with at least seven assists in 16 games. The 5-foot-7 Miles also recorded at least five steals in six games.

Miles is already 10th in the program’s history in steals with 172 career takeaways. She’ll also likely finish within the top 10 in assists and inside the top 20 in

“If you can win our league, you can win a national championship,” WVU’s head men’s basketball coach said in the preseason.

Huggins nearly proved that saying right. He led his team to the program’s first Big East Championship by beating Georgetown in Madison Square Garden and advanced the Mountaineers to the Final Four for only the second time in the school’s history.

In the meantime, he reminded those throughout the country why he’s one of the top collegiate basketball coaches in the nation.

It took just three seasons for Huggins to turn WVU into a powerhouse in the Big East despite having just three players the coach recruited in the top seven of the lineup.

It was the winningest season in the school’s history, as the team lived up to the program’s first top-10 preseason ranking, staying with the nation’s top 10 for all but one week during the regular season.

The Mountaineers were ranked as high as sixth after starting the season 11-0 before a tough loss on the road at Purdue sent the team into a rough stretch in which it lost three of five.

The team, which was ranked No. 1 for much of the regular season, was judged as bigger, faster and more talented.

But potential didn’t get the Wildcats anywhere against WVU. West Virginia took advantage of Kentucky’s youth and inexperience to claim a 73-66 win and advance to the program’s first Final Four since 1959.

“Forty-nine states picked us to lose,” Butler said. “We wanted to make everybody upset.”

In the early going, Kentucky played up to its expectations, jumping out a seven-point lead by dominating the paint and keeping the Mountaineers cold from the field.

But WVU stuck with its 1-3-1 defense and slowly the tide turned in favor of West Virginia.

Behind Butler’s four 3-pointers, the Mountaineers went on a 15-9 run to take a two-point lead en-

tering the half.

WVU team didn’t even hit a field goal inside the 3-point line until the second half, but the Wildcats struggled from outside the arc.

The Mountaineers held off a late Kentucky rally to clinch the East Regional bid to the Final Four.

However, West Virginia has been unable to create a significant buzz about the spring game in the past. This year, with the fact that Smith will not play could affect the amount of fans that make the trip to Morgantown to see the first sights of the 2010 team.

But, a trend has shown an increase in attendance at spring games across the country over the last few years.

The Big East Conference has not seen as large of an increase, though. Rutgers had a record 20,114 at its spring game, but no other school in the conference had more than 6,500.

While on a smaller scale, the trend has been seen at WVU, as well.

Last year, the 12,000 fans were the second-most in West Virginia spring game history. In 2008, the crowd reached 18,000. But, few prior to those years were over a few thousand.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — David Freese waited so long for his first home run, St. Louis Cardinals pitchers were teasing him.

That business is out of the way after the rookie’s six-RBI day fueled a 10-4 victory Thursday that sent the Atlanta Braves skidding to their ninth-straight loss.

“I put my two cents in,” Freese said. “Obviously, getting that first homer is always the toughest. I was just trying not to worry about it.”

The Braves wrapped up an 0-7 trip, their first winless swing of seven or more games since September 1949 when the franchise was located in Boston and went 0-8 in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been on one like this,” said manager Bobby Cox. “Probably have, but it’s not going to be in our memory, that’s for sure.

“It was a lousy trip. It’s been a horrible experience to endure.”

Adam Wainwright (4-1) worked six solid innings, keeping the ball down for the most part to mitigate high swirling winds, as the Cardinals completed a four-game sweep. With Albert Pujols getting his first day off, St. Louis still won its fifth in a row and swept Atlanta for the first time since 1993.

“It’s like winning a doubleheader, right?” said manager Tony La Russa. “Albert gets his rest and it’s a nice lineup we put out there.”

Jair Jurrjens (0-3) strained his left hamstring and lasted only one inning for Atlanta, although he was hopeful he wouldn’t miss a turn in the rotation. Jurrjens said the hamstring bothered him during warmups.

“I was cautious about it, I tried not to put so much pressure on it,” Jurrjens said. “I tried to all-arm it and it wasn’t working so well.”

The Braves lost 10 straight in 2006 – they can match skid Friday night at home against Houston.

“It’s probably the worst road trip ever,” said Eric Hinske. “You can’t blame it on anything. Maybe it’s good we’re doing this in April and not in September.”

The Braves have totaled 17 runs during their slump. Rookie Jason Heyward returned after one game on the bench and had two hits, including the first homer allowed

by Cardinals pitching in 10 games at home this season.

Wainwright, a first-round pick of the Braves in 2000, is 5-0 with a 2.00 ERA against Atlanta in eight games. Yadier Molina helped out with two hits and two RBIs and Colby Rasmus scored four times.

Freese’s day was the biggest by a Cardinals rookie since at least 1957, when rookie qualifications were established, the Elias Sports Bureau said. Freese has eight RBIs the last two games, getting two RBIs Wednesday on his 27th birthday, and 14 on the season.

The Cardinals acquired Freese from San Diego for Jim Edmonds after 2007 and he won the third base job this spring.

Freese hit a three-run homer off the right-field foul pole with two outs in the first off Jurrjens, his first of the year and the first of his career at Busch Stadium.

Freese added a three-run double off Jesse Chavez in the fifth.

“That’s why I’m here, to drive in runs and score runs,” Freese said. “They put me out there to do a job and that’s what I’ve got to keep thinking.”

The Cardinals scored in double figures for the first time since an 11-6 opening-day victory at Cincinnati. They last swept Atlanta in a four-game series Aug. 14-16, 1989, including a doubleheader.

The 1993 sweep was in a threegame set.

WVU BASEBALL

Enourato’s dream quickly coming to an end WVU travels to Cincy for crucial Big East battle with Bearcats

BY MICHAEL CARVELLI SPORTS WRITER

Ever since West Virginia closer Chris Enourato moved to Bridgeport, W.Va., from Beltsville, Md., when he was 8 years old, playing baseball for West Virginia University had always been something he wanted to do.

“I’ve been going to WVU football, basketball and baseball games ever since I moved to West Virginia. It was my dream to play here,” Enourato said. “So actually, getting to come play here has been a pretty awesome experience.”

That dream came true just prior to his senior year of high school when he officially committed to play for West Virginia head coach Greg Van Zant. But that dream almost went away just as quickly as it had come true.

Enourato, who was also an all-state football player at Bridgeport High School, tore his ACL and MCL in the early part of the football season. Initially, he thought the injury was going to cost him his baseball scholarship.

A phone conversation with Van Zant told him otherwise.

“I called coach about a week or so after to tell him what happened,” Enourato said. “He told me I could keep the scholarship.

When he said that, it was just a huge relief.”

He rehabbed his injury and was able to come back to play baseball for the Indians. That season he, along with current WVU teammate Jeremy Gum, led their Bridgeport team to the Regional Championship and garnered first team all-state honors.

Heading into his freshman

BY BEN GAUGHAN SPORTS WRITER

LEANN ARTHUR/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia relief pitcher Chris Enourato delivers a pitch in the Mountaineers’ loss to Louisville on April 17. Enourato will end his career at WVU as the school’s all-time leader in saves and appearances. year at WVU, Enourato had no idea of what his role on the team would be or if he was even going to have one. Just two weeks before the beginning of the season, Van Zant informed his young pitcher he would be the team’s closer.

“When I was in high school I was always a starter, and I had never closed before,” Enourato said. “But I just took over the role, and I’ve loved doing it ever since.”

While most teams usually shy away from having a freshman as a closer due to the pressure placed on the pitcher with the game on the line, Van Zant didn’t hesitate with Enourato.

The pitcher didn’t disappoint.

In his 29 innings pitched as a freshman, Enourato finished

with a 2-1 record with five saves and a 4.34 ERA. He saw those numbers rise in his sophomore year when he picked up five wins and set a new career high with six saves and struck out 34 hitters in his second season.

Last year, he placed his name into the WVU record books.

He picked up six saves in 2009 breaking the school record for career saves in the process.

One year later, more records and accolades continued to pile up.

He was named the top closer in the Big East by College Baseball Insider at the beginning of the season while he set a new school record for appearances by a pitcher after his performance against Niagara March 16.

“It’s a great feeling to have your name with those records, and I think I can continue adding to them,” Enourato said.

“But without my teammates, I wouldn’t have accomplished any of them. They had to make the plays and swing the bats to make all of those saves possible.”

After this season is over, Enourato will start getting himself ready for the Major League Baseball Draft, which begins June 7.

“Of course, I hope I can get the chance to get drafted and play at the next level,” Enourato said. “But if not, I’m going to go to grad school, and I’d like to be a college baseball coach one day.” james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia baseball team may play its most important three-game series of the season as the Mountaineers head to the road to face Cincinnati tonight to face the Bearcats at 6 p.m.

With 12 games left in the regular season, the Mountaineers (18-23, 3-12 Big East Conference) come into the weekend series two games out of the eighth and final conference tournament spot.

“For us to have a realistic chance to catch Cincinnati, we’ll have to win two out of three this weekend,” said WVU head coach Greg Van Zant. “We’re going to play each game like it’s the last game of the year.”

Junior pitcher Jarryd Summers will get the start Friday night and comes in with a 1-7 record and a 4.66 ERA. “Jarryd Summers has been very consistent and gone out and competed in all of his starts,” Van Zant said.

However, the Mountaineers have struggled to score when Summers has been on the mound this year.

“I don’t think it has anything to do with us not hitting when Summers pitches,” Van Zant said. “Other than the fact that he’s been pitching our Game 1’s, we’ve been facing other team’s No. 1 pitchers. It’s just been hard for us to score runs in Game 1 of the conference games.”

Cincinnati (20-20, 5-10 Big East) comes into the series with

a 3.75 team ERA – second in the Big East.

The Mountaineers will look to continue their offensive production from Tuesday’s win over Duquesne against the stout Cincinnati pitching staff.

“Our hitters have to come up with a big weekend and go out there and have great at-bats,” Van Zant said. “We have to do everything we can to limit the strikeouts and really fight for every run we can get.”

Although the Bearcats have an above-average team ERA, their overall batting average is last in the Big East at .240. In addition, they have more strikeouts (300) than any team in the conference.

That bodes well for the Mountaineers, as Summers leads the team with 46 strikeouts this season.

“We just have to continue to increase the number of strikes that we throw, which in turn cuts down the number of walks,” Van Zant said. “Our pitching staff is going to have to throw really well, and we’re going to have to compete hard in the batter’s box to have a chance to score runs.”

Every game at this point in the season is important for West Virginia. Van Zant knows his team needs to finish the season strong if it wants to have any chance of playing postseason ball.

“We’re going to try to win these games one at a time,” Van Zant said. benjamin.gaughan@mail.wvu.edu

Kings’ Tyreke Evans wins NBA Rookie of the Year SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Tyreke Evans has won hundreds of trophies in his young basketball career and many of them seem to have lost an arm, a basketball or some other piece in his mother’s care.

Bonita Evans will have to wait to get the NBA Rookie of the Year trophy Evans won Thursday until some safeguards are in place in the home he is building her in Delaware.

“She’s broken too many,” Evans said. “I probably have 400 trophies and about a hundred of them broke. I’d come downstairs and she’d try to glue them back together but it was too late. I didn’t care about it. But the main important trophies, we’re going to put them in a glass case for her.”

Evans capped his fabulous rookie year for the Sacramento Kings by beating out Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Milwaukee’s Brandon Jennings for the coveted award.

Evans became the fourth rookie ever to average at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists per game, joining Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan and LeBron James in an exclusive club.

“This is one of the awards I had a goal of since I came into the NBA, being rookie of the year,” Evans said. “I’m proud it came true.

It was one of my dreams since I was little. I finally had a chance for my dream to come true.”

Evans was the fourth pick in last year’s NBA draft after spending one season at Memphis. Like

Chicago’s Derrick Rose a year ago, that one year at Memphis was enough to make him Rookie of the Year.

He led all rookies in scoring at 20.1 points per game, was second in assists at 5.8 per game and fifth in rebounds at 5.3.

“After maybe the first week or two in the regular season, the level of consistency that he settled into was just remarkable given his age and one year of experience in college,” Kings president of basketball operations Geoff Petrie said. “It was just fun to watch it all unfold.”

Evans was the only rookie to appear on all 123 ballots from a media panel, getting 67 firstplace votes and 491 total points.

Curry was second with 43 firstplace votes and 391 points, with Jennings getting 12 first-place votes and 204 points. Players were awarded five points for a first-place vote, three for a second and one for a third.

While Jennings got off to a fast start, scoring 55 points in his seventh career game, and Curry finished the season with a flourish, Evans was consistently strong all season long.

Evans drew praise from around the league, with Kobe Bryant calling him a “grown man” when asked to assess the rookie race after playing Curry and Evans in successive nights in March.

Evans’ performance this season brought life back to Arco Arena, where fans had grown disinterested in recent years as the Kings struggled.

There was even a rally planned at a Sacramento mall on Thursday night in Evans’ honor.

Evans erased any disappointment from last year’s lottery, when the Kings ended up with the fourth pick in the draft despite having the league’s worst record.

With top pick Blake Griffin sidelined for the season for the Los Angeles Clippers with a knee injury, second pick Hasheem Thabeet spending part of the season for Memphis in the NBA Development League and fifth pick Ricky Rubio staying in Europe instead of signing with Minnesota, there were no regrets in Sacramento with how the draft played out.

“I know there was a lot of real disappointment at that moment,” Petrie said. “It just shows that life is real uncertain and good things can come out of what appear to be not so good things sometimes.

It all worked out.”

After a disappointing home opener when he scored only three points and didn’t make a shot from the field, Evans took over the Kings after leading scorer Kevin Martin went down with an early injury.

He scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games.

Evans was remarkably consistent, averaging between 19.4 points and 22.1 points per game in every full month of the season.

“He’s the most consistent rookie I’ve ever seen,” coach Paul Westphal said. “There’s

nothing but a great career in Tyreke’s future. Knowing him, I know he doesn’t view this as an achievement. It’s just a start to his career.”

Curry, the son of former NBA player Dell Curry, might have been playing better than any rookie by the end of the season.

He averaged 17.5 points, a rookie-best 5.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game for the Warriors.

But he was much better in the final three months, averaging 21.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game after Feb. 1. That vaulted him right into the rookie race, giving Northern California NBA fans something worthwhile to follow while the Warriors and Kings struggled through another difficult season.
