Students create WVU Mobile app by emily leslie staff writer @Dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University is the only school in the Big XII conference that does not have an official, University-supported app. A group of senior computer science students are trying to change that. WVU Mobile combines scattered University resources from around the

web into one simple location. With campus news, a PRT tracker, dining hall menus, bus routes, campus events, an interactive map and contacts for emergency services, the creators believe this app has everything students need to know about WVU. Ricky Deal, Jeremy Dole and Kaitlyn Landmesser, who launched the application for iOS products Friday as part of their capstone

course, are the brains behind the app’s development. “Our app (is) authentic because it’s created by students for students. We’re the insiders and we have a good idea of what students want. We know what is a necessity to students because we’ve been there,” Dole said. Deal said having this app would be a great way for students to make efficient and reliable plans for getting between the Downtown and

Evansdale campuses since the PRT can sometimes be unreliable. “The PRT goes down so often,” Deal said. “It just kills your mood when you’re going to class and you get (to the PRT station) and find out it’s down. It (would be) nice to find out ahead of time and go to the bus stop or drive instead. If you were to try to get that information through the website, it would take you forever —

LOUD, PROUD & NY BOUND

but with our app it takes two seconds.” The PRT’s status can be found on the MIX homepage, but Dole said apps are more convenient, quicker and easier to use than mobile websites tend to be. “Nothing beats the easiness and simplicity of just clicking one button, rather than going through (a web) interface and having to type things and waiting for it to load,” Dole said.

“Pride of West Virginia” to perform in Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade by jake jarvis city editor @newsroomjake

More than 53 million eyes will be on West Virginia on Nov. 24, 2016. The “Pride of West Virginia,” The Mountaineer Marching Band announced Saturday at the Gold-Blue Spring Game that it was selected out of 175 applicants to perform in the 90th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Members of The “Pride” knew days in advance that a special announcement was coming, but no one had any idea what was in store as the Marching Band Director Jay Drury kept everything quiet. Right after the announcement, Matthew Smith, a freshman cymbal player of The “Pride’s” drumline, called his dad to tell him the good news. “We’ve gone to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade before. So he said, ‘We’re going to get to watch you up there now,’” Smith said. “It’s a pretty cool feeling.” When Smith was a senior in high school he applied to West Virginia University and the University of Central Florida. He said the decision to move to Morgantown was easy after he was accepted onto the drumline. “After the audition I was sore, I was hurting,” Smith said. “It was very mentally challenging just taking it all in. Once I found I made it, it was a relief. A lot of pressure was taken off.”

The “Pride of West Virginia,” the Mountaineer Marching Band practices on a cold day earlier this year. But the hard work didn’t stop that weekend. Smith and other members of The “Pride” worked countless hours in rehearsals, performances and traveling to away games. Smith said it’s worth it. “Seeing the whole state caring about all 350 of us is pretty cool,” Smith said. Since the performance is 18 months away, rising seniors won’t be able to participate if they plan on gradu-

Reed College of Media receives $200,000 grant by taylor jobin

The “Pride of West Virginia,” The Mountaineer Marching Band performs during a home football game.

Even though the students who designed WVU Mobile are graduating, they said they will maintain and update the app for students who will continue to use it. “We don’t plan on abandoning it. We aren’t going to graduate and forget about it,” Landmesser said. “We are really involved in it and want to keep working on it. I hope it’s still around when

The Reed College of Media recently received a $200,000 grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to expand the college’s Innovator-in-Residence program introduced last year. “(The program) enables us to bring in top innovators who are in the industry right now,” said Dana Coester, assistant professor and creative director for the College’s Media Innovation Center. “It enables us to engage them with our faculty and our students so that we can all collaborate together on the problems facing journalism and exploring new technologies.” The funding will allow the school to bring in two Innovators-in-Residence each semester, experimenting with particular problems the field of journalism faces. “The basic idea of the Innovator (residence program) is to help the educational institution create a more inventive culture,” said Eric Newton, senior advisor to the president of the Knight Foundation. “A lot of times universities can be slow to change, but the innovator residence helps to create more rapid reaction to technologies in news and journalism that have to be solved.” The Innovator-in-Residence program hopes to accomplish two things: Partnering academia with the industry to solve problems and collaborate to pool resources in solving complex issues. It also hopes to bring in-

novators from prominent media outlets, such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, to work with local and rural community newspapers. This will give those papers access to the training, data, experimentation and resources needed to compete with other outlets in the industry. “If we have an expert from The New York times and an expert from a community newspaper, and students and faculty all working together to experiment…then it’s a winwin for everybody,” Coester said. The program is fastpaced, with each semester-long class challenging students in new, experimental ways, giving them real-time insight on the constantly changing field of journalism. “Students are becoming experts right away in some of these very new technologies and practices,” Coester said. The program also offers virtual options for students, but not in the traditional, online-class sense. “Its not online classes in the way you think of online classes,” Coester said. Google Hangouts will be an integral part of the classes, allowing students to interact with the Innovators-in-Residence constantly and much more intimately than regular online classes. Derek Willis, a political writer and data journalist for The New York Times, collaborated with two classes in fall of 2014. He helped the class cover the West Virginia Senato-

Local residents gather to discuss racial violence and police relations by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Monday night, a small but passionate group of Morgantown citizens, business owners and police officers gathered to talk about current issues facing minorities, including minority business ownership, racial violence and police relations. The forum, held at 6 p.m. at West Virginia University’s Fukushima Auditorium on the Health Sciences Campus, was hosted

by The Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs within the Office of the Governor. Dr. Carolyn Stuart, the executive director of HHOMA, spoke of the forum’s importance. “It provides a venue for people to assemble in one place and to openly voice concerns that they have to someone who will make those concerns known to those best suited to address the concerns,” Stuart said. Stuart has one-on-one meetings with Governor

The most outspoken of the group was Diane Lewis, a local African-American business owner and seat holder in the WVU Board of Governors. Early in the discussion she rallied for a change in state legislature to allow special business owners to be marked as such by the government.

The issue was brought up by Jonathan Hall, a professor of geography at WVU. “Had that bill passed, (my wife and I) would have been looking for opportunities out of the state,” Hall said. “A lot of people are wondering what kind of conversation we need to have on this issue. I think the reason that we keep

seeing these issues… is because of how the community law enforcement handles these issues.” The dialogue then switched to minority relations with police officers, a conversation made complete by the presence of Police Lieutenant M.D. Solomon and Captain H.

“I was trying to find out, in the state if West Virginia, how many women in business there were so I could add that into my speech,” Lewis said. “When I called the Secretary of State I was told that they don’t record that information. They don’t record any information about any social groups or ethnicities, only if you’re a business registered in the state of West Virginia.” Lewis noted that Ohio already has these codes in place, and it would not be difficult for West Virginia

Professor talks Sun’s effect on Earth at meeting by Rachel Mcbride staff writer @Dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Astronomy Club hosted guest lecturer Dr. Paul Cassak, an associate professor of the WVU Department of Physics and Astronomy, Monday evening in White Hall. Cassak presented “The Closest Star: The Sun and Its Effect on Earth,” a discussion concerning the sun and its interaction with Earth and how these interactions are studied. Cassak’s research on the physics of solar eruptions and Earth’s response to material ejected from the sun was also discussed during the presentation. According to Astronomy Club President Natasha McMann, Cassak’s research on the sun is significant to Earth’s functioning. “These talks are designed to enhance club members’ and audience members’ understanding of the research done at WVU,” McMann

said. “I also hope attendees learned more about the sun and why it is so important to the earth.” Cassak said that due to the sun’s location in space, the sun affects Earth more than any other star. “The sun can adversely impact us through solar eruptions that cause ‘space weather,’ which can lead to power outages and damage to satellites that impact communications,” Cassak said. “Light from the sun supports life on Earth, and interplanetary space outside the Earth’s magnetic field is dominated by material and magnetic fields from the sun.” Cassak described the material ejected from the sun as coronal mass ejections. Cassak said that although the sun is just one of many stars, when we learn about the sun we learn about other stars, and vice versa, through research of the sun’s CME. CMEs were discovered in 1971, according

to Cassak. Cassak went on to describe the importance of viewing the sun’s cycle. Cassak said by pointing out the sun’s cycle one can determine where sun spots are located. According to Cassak, sun spots are related to solar eruptions, which are solar flares that contribute to CMEs occurring in space. “The sun’s level of activity is on an 11 year cycle. This cycle tells you where sun spots are,” Cassak said. “Usually these two things (sun spots and CMEs) come together. The sun isn’t as steady as we would like to think it is.” Cassak said that solar eruptions caused by sun spots give off a lot of energy in a short time. This energy could potentially cause many things to happen. These occurrences include an Aurora (charged particles along the Earth’s magnetic field that give off light), miscommunication on airplanes, harm to astronauts in space and so-

Cassak also said that CMEs ejected from the sun could possibly run into regions around the Earth; however, the magnetic field around the Earth deflects

the material. “The material coming off of the sun can really do things,” Cassak said. “The solar coronal is home to the largest explosions in the solar system.”

Latest on police-custody death: Massive fire related to riot BALTIMORE (AP) — 10:21 p.m. Maryland’s Attorney General Brian E. Frosh has called for an end to the violence. In a statement, he says, “The death of Freddie Gray was a tragedy. Perhaps it can lead us on a path toward progress. Violence, fires and looting will not get us there.” He added: “The line from peaceful protest to looting and violence has, sadly, been crossed. The events in Baltimore are putting first responders and many in our community at risk. Destroying property and injuring citizens and law enforcement officers drives us apart ... The violence must stop.” 10:06 p.m. Firefighters are spraying water on neighboring commercial and residential buildings around what’s left of the Mary Harvin Transformation Center, which continued to smolder after being engulfed by flames earlier this evening. Their aim: to prevent any flames from spreading, given the number of abandoned rowhouses nearby. Kevin Johnson, a 53-yearold resident of the area, expressed disappointment that the building, earmarked for the elderly, had burned. “They built it from the ground up. For elderly people, for old people,” Johnson said. “Now it’s burned down, man. That don’t make no sense. It’s burned down.” ___ 9:55 p.m.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he declared the state of emergency for Baltimore less than 30 seconds after the city’s mayor requested it. At his evening news earlier, Hogan said of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake that he was “glad that she finally did” call the governor’s office to request the state of emergency when she did. “We were all in the command center in the second floor of the State House in constant communication, and we were trying to get in touch with the mayor for quite some time. She finally made that call, and we immediately took action,” Hogan said. Asked if the mayor should have made the request earlier, Hogan replied that he didn’t want to question what city officials were doing. “I know that the city has done everything in their power to get this under control. I don’t want to question what they’ve been doing. They’re all under tremendous stress. We’re all on one team.” ___ 9:30 p.m. A massive fire has broken out in a building that was under construction and the Baltimore mayor’s spokesman says it’s related to the riots. Spokesman Kevin Harris confirmed that the fire is related to the riots and that it’s burning the Mary Harvin Transformation Center, described online as a community-based organization that supports youth and

families. A CVS pharmacy was also set on fire earlier in the day. Businesses have been looted and at least 15 officers were injured in the chaos. The riots started after the funeral for Freddie Gray, who died of a mysterious injury after being arrested. ___ 9:20 p.m. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is condemning the rioting in Baltimore that followed the funeral of Freddie Gray, who died from a spinal injury he suffered while in police custody. In a statement Monday, her first day on the job, Lynch said those who have destroyed property have done a disservice to Gray’s family. She said she would send Justice Department officials to the city in coming days, including Vanita Gupta, the agency’s top civil rights lawyer. Rioters set police cars ablaze, leading the Maryland governor to declare a state of emergency and call in the National Guard. The FBI and Justice Department are investigating Gray’s death for potential criminal civil rights violations. The six officers who were involved in Gray’s arrest have been suspended. ___ 8:55 p.m. Maryland’s governor says activating the National Guard to help police with riots in Baltimore was a last resort. Gov. Larry Hogan said Monday night that he did not make the decision

lightly. He earlier declared a state of emergency, activating the Guard. Hogan took office in January. The call for the Guard comes after people set cars on fire, looted businesses and threw bricks at police officers, hours after the funeral for Freddie Gray. Gray died after suffering injuries in police custody. ___ 8:30 p.m. About 200 mostly men are marching arm-in-arm through a neighborhood that is littered with broken glass, flattened aluminum cans and other debris after riots in Baltimore. Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings is among

them. As the group approached Fulton Avenue, getting close to a line of police officers, the marchers went down on their knees. After the ministers got back on their feet, they walked until they were face-to-face with the police officers in a tight formation and wearing riot gear. Neighborhood residents were standing on their stoops, taking pictures. Some clapped their hands. The marches were protesting the police-custody death of Freddie Gray. ___ 8:15 p.m. Police say 15 officers

have been injured in the Baltimore riots and two are still in the hospital. More than two dozen people have been arrested after people looted stores, set cars on fire and threw bricks at police. The riot started just hours after the funeral for Freddie Gray, who died following injuries he suffered while in police custody. ___ 8 p.m. The mayor of Baltimore says she will impose a weeklong curfew after people looted stores, set fire to cars and threw bricks and other objects at police officers.

events, minorities dying at the hands of police and the media exposure they’ve been receiving, we feel we need to let people know that if there are bad things going on in other parts of America in terms of police and minorities, we as police officers aren’t a part of that venom,” Solomon

said. “We as senior officials at the police department aren’t going to let it happen.” The officers said they wanted to build a strong connection between the community and police in order to prevent potential future problems from occurring.

While many at the forum were there to voice their opinions and concerns, some attended just to learn. Barbara Regan, a local senior citizen, was one of them. “Since I haven’t been in school for a long, long time, I’ve been out of touch with what’s been going on

with other groups,” Regan said. “We all seem to be in our own little groups and we’re not sharing what we know and how we want to be a part of other things.” Dr. Stuart noted that another forum will be held sometime next year and all people, students included,

are invited and encouraged to come and share their concerns. For more information on HHOMA or to get involved, visit www.minorityaffairs.wv.gov/ or contact Dr. Carolyn Stuart at Carolyn.L.Stuart@wv.gov

BAND

ating, leaving some with a bittersweet feeling. Ory VanGilder, a former tubist who marched in The “Pride” for two years, had to leave the band because he didn’t have enough time to commit to the group. “I don’t think there’s a better representation for the entire state than this marching band,” VanGilder said. He said it is the best representation of the state because of how connected it is to West Virginians. Many of the group’s members find

their home in the Mountain State and many more learn to love it after traveling to different communities to perform. Organizing The “Pride” takes more significant effort and to bring the entire group to an away game takes at least nine charter buses. “I think one of the most fantastic parts about all of it is it’s allowing (The “Pride”) to finally get coverage and the focus on them,” VanGilder said. “A lot of times they’re in the background of the football games. I think sometimes we take advantage of all the hard work they put into performances because it kind of comes sec-

ondary to football.” VanGilder said he was a little jealous he won’t get to join The “Pride” in 18 months, but said he will definitely tune in to watch. “The Pride of West Virginia” looks forward to representing the great state of West Virginia and our Alma Mater on the streets of the greatest city in the world,” Drury said in a press release. “This is truly a great honor for our band program and our University, and we would like to say ‘thank you’ to the good folks at Macy’s for giving us this wonderful opportunity.”

ronment for students to interact with the rock stars of journalism,” Coester said. One of the Innovatorsin-Residence next semester will be sensors expert John Keefe, according to Newton. He will work with students on using proximity beacons and sensors for experimental reporting on water quality. The grant was considered medium-sized by

Newton. He said the College received a larger grant than they would have if they hadn’t demonstrated a concern for the future of journalism and held experimental classes in the past. “In recent years our grants have been focused on the digital transformation of journalism because the digital age is turning traditional journalism upside down, (and) inside out,”

Newton said. “It’s been difficult for traditional news organizations and journalism education to keep up with the change. It leads to us giving a lot of grants to journalism schools that are modernizing themselves and becoming more relevant to the technological developments that are changing communication.”

For freshmen and underclassmen coming in, this

is very useful—but also it’s useful to upperclassmen concerning parking and PRT information,” Kiess said. “The sky is truly the limit with this project and we are super excited about it.” Thompson said the app will be useful for incoming freshmen and commended the developers for their passionate spirit and drive. “As someone who is new to this school as a freshman, I really wish (the WVU Mobile app) was here the first day,” Thompson said. “I think the greatest thing about it is that it wasn’t just a project for them. They saw a true need in the Uni-

versity. There’s such a passion behind it and they want to continue to make the updates, and I think that’s what makes it so successful.” There will be updates to WVU Mobile in the near future, which will include push notifications when the PRT breaks down and a feature allowing users to subscribe to event notifications. Over the summer, the developers will work to have both the iOS and Android versions of WVU Mobile ready for new students in the fall. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 5 Ep. 3 by Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @westleyt93

Editor’s note: Contains spoilers. Poor Sansa Stark just can’t catch a break. After witnessing her father’s beheading in season one, being promised to marry the vile King Joffrey, then being forced to marry Tyrion, it seemed the girl had finally caught a break. While Lord Baelish certainly is a snake-in-the-grass, riding around Westeros with him seemed to be a nice respite for Sansa. Unfortunately for her, Baelish had other ideas. Sunday night it was revealed that Sansa is being married off to Ramsay Bolton, the cruel and sadistic legitimized bastard of Roose Bolton. Ramsay has a penchant for flaying men alive as a form of punishment. He is also responsible for turning the once proud and cocky Theon Greyjoy into the sniveling servant Reek. Being forced to marry Ramsay in her family’s old castle, which now belongs to the Boltons nonetheless, is both a slap in the face and a terrifying prospect for the young Stark girl. In King’s Landing Cersei finds herself at the losing end of a power struggle. Her last remaining son, King Tommen, has married the beautiful and cunning Margaery Tyrell. Absolutely enamored by his new wife, and all the benefits being married brings to a young man, Tommen begins to push his mother away. Cersei, who used her power as Queen Regent to insult Margaery at every chance, now finds the tables turned. Elsewhere in King’s Landing the Faith of the Seven, the principle religion in Westeros, finds itself in turmoil. For some time now a religious sect has been forming within the church. Disillusioned with the church’s corruption and grandeur, the new faction, called “sparrows,” consists of men and women who choose to wear rags rather than fin-

When the current High Septon (the equivalent of a Pope in our world) is caught at a brothel by the sparrows, they drag him outside naked and force him to walk the streets as they beat him. The High Septon goes to Cersei for help, but instead she imprisons him. Curious about the sparrows, Cersei goes to visit their leader, a man known only as “The High Sparrow.” She finds a humble man dressed in rags who spends all his time serving others. He explains he isn’t special, but somehow others believe he is. It will be interesting to see how this plot thread develops. Across the Narrow Sea, Tyrion finds himself in trouble. Traveling with Varys has driven the sharp-tongued dwarf mad and he pines for outside air. Tyrion convinces Varys to take a pit stop in the city of Volantis. After watching a red priestess preach for a while, Tyrion decides it’s time to find a brothel. Jorah Mormont, Daenerys’ disgraced and banished confidant is in the same brothel.

White. She grows frustrated with her training, believing sweeping is no way to be trained, but continues her duties anyway. Back in Westeros, north at The Wall, Jon Snow begins to make decisions as Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch. He promotes his former rival Alliser Thorne to First Ranger, a position of prestige. His second command is for Lord Janos to go to the ruined and abandoned Night’s Watch fort known as Greyguard, and to begin to rebuild it. Janos refuses, disobeying Jon in front of everyone. Pulling no punches, Jon executes Janos by beheading him. Fans of the book will recognize this episode as the one that has diverged most from the books. Although the show has differed from the text in the past, it has always done so in small ways. Having Sansa Stark be set up to marry Ramsay instead of Jeyne Poole under the guise of Arya Stark is a big departure. However, it should prove interesting to watch unfold. Seeing the High Sparrow is cool as well. In the books, the church and crown interact in some interesting ways, so the High Sparrow is definitely someone to keep an eye on. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

The end of the academic year and the start of summer are almost here. Now is a great time to reflect on your wellbeing as you go through this transitional period. Reflect on your usual final exam routine. Maybe you tend to compromise sleep, procrastinate, stay sedentary, reach for food that doesn’t energize your body, or look to unnatural performance enhancers. What can you learn about yourself from your actions and choices? If you notice your behavior hindering your ability to thrive as a person, you can make the choice to set wellbeing goals.

Remember, your actions related to moving, drinking, chilling, eating and sleeping are connected to your overall wellbeing. Recognizing the holistic nature of wellbeing, consider wellness as a way of being and not a way of doing. Before finals, consider creating a mantra to use for positive reinforcement if you begin to doubt yourself. Or, if you often grab a coffee to stay awake, swap it out for an energizing banana. Find a way of moving that brings you joy as being active improves cognitive functioning, leading to clearer thinking and reduced anxiety.

Finishing finals, why not use summer as a time to learn from your experience and focus on incorporating more positive behaviors in your daily life? Our website, well. wvu.edu, is a great resource to utilize. Don’t forget to have fun, be creative, and explore! Good luck with finals and be well over the summer!

Editorial

Encouraging inclusion, acceptance In a society with strict ideas of how masculinity and femininity should be expressed, Bruce Jenner’s announcement of her transition to female has shaken the world of pop culture to its core. The former Olympic athlete-turned-reality television star conveyed her experience with gender dysphoria and discomfort in recent interviews, but has stated she’s just now been able to find the courage to enter public life in the way most true to herself. Bruce’s transition isn’t the first time transgender issues have made the news, but it represents a shift in perspective society may not yet be ready to receive with open arms. A hyper-masculine man once considered to be “the greatest athlete in the world” announcing the decision to live life as female challenges the most basic beliefs about what it means to express gender today. Though society has generally moved in a more ac-

cepting direction since the AIDS panic and anti-gay initiative of the 1980s, there’s still a long way to go in creating a truly inclusive environment for transgender and gender non-binary (neither male nor female) individuals in this state. What does this mean for West Virginia University students? To start, greater efforts in educating others on the difference between gender expression and biological sex is necessary in the creation of an accepting environment. Transgender and gender non-binary individuals are among the most targeted groups nationwide for acts of violence, but increasing education on this issue may help alleviate this problem. Incoming freshmen are already required to complete an online program pertaining to alcohol and drug safety (AlcoholEdu), and all student workers must take training in recognizing and reporting sexual

harassment as stated by Title IX. Implementing similar programs in an effort to educate all students on the different ways one can express gender may put a stop to discriminatory behavior before it can begin. Gender-inclusive bathrooms are another way to better include transgender students, and have been a recent discussion topic among members of the Student Government Association. As newly-transitioning or gender non-binary individuals may not feel entirely comfortable entering bathrooms designated to either males or females, adding gender-inclusive bathrooms on campus would lessen the stress of having to choose a restroom in public. Matters of gender expression aside, this would also be beneficial for any student needing a little more privacy or extra space than what the typical fouror five-stall bathrooms can provide.

Bruce Jenner recently announced her transition from male to female. This editorial board feels no student should be made to feel uncomfortable or discriminated against based on gender expression or sexual orientation. LGBT allies

aren’t simply non-homophobic or non-transphobic individuals—allies actively take a stand to stop discrimination and hate speech in any context. Regardless of

sexual orientation or gender expression, standing together is the only way to foster true acceptance. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A columnist’s farewell: Keep reading, commenting Molly Robinson Columnist @DarthMolly22

I really tried to refrain from writing a sappy last opinion column, but I’ve unfortunately enjoyed my time at the Daily Athenaeum too much to end my columnist job with an actual opinion on something important, like police brutality or how much the PRT sucks. Instead, I’d really like to flex what little power I have to tell you all, from my (dwindling) fan base to my (widening) amount of haters, that I have absolutely loved writing for you. Or, rather, for myself. I won’t pretend I’m the best or most convincing writer; I’ve met my coworkers, and I’m sure as hell not the smartest writer. I have tried my best to write what I feel, and add logistics and lame jokes as necessary to hopefully make you continue reading this page. While I could tell you my favorite part about writing for the Daily Athenaeum or make up some overwrought advice to send myself off, I will instead let you in on a little secret: I couldn’t have done it without you. For every one of you that retweeted my article, for every comment – especially the nasty ones, since those were the most common – what I write, what we write, depends entirely on

File Photo

Reading the newspaper combats generation-wide feelings of apathy. you. Yes, you. While I am far too conceited to be too upset by the startling amount of people who have called me “stupid” or a “bad writer” (not contesting either of these, by the way), I have seen columnists break down reading their comments, sometimes even leading to a resignation. On the flip side, a positive comment is a diamond in the rough, and encourages us to continue on this path of wordvomiting 600 words on a page and calling it an opinion column. It’s easy to feel like you

don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. This position has given me miniscule amounts of power, I’ll admit, but I often forget how significant something as seemingly inconsequential as my stream of consciousness can be in the world. I have been called asinine for promoting women’s welfare. I have been stopped in the street to have unwarranted debates about whatever I spewed out to readers that week. I have received death threats over opinions about tattoos and dogs. By fueling a culture of in-

significance, we are failing to realize just how harmful or helpful our words can be. The Internet is a great stomping ground for these things, and often you may think your comment or “like” will go unnoticed. It doesn’t, and it never will. It is easy for a columnist and a reader to distance themselves from each other because the conversation is one-sided. I write, you read. You react, but I never see it. You write a nasty comment or a really beautiful compliment, but you never see the effect it has. I have loved this job, and

I have loved seeing your reactions to my opinions. I wish there was more of a forum to discuss the ideas we opinion columnists present on this page, but unfortunately this is not the way of printed media. Instead, I’d like to impart how important my readers have been to both the Daily Athenaeum and myself. I write for all of you, even the ones who call me mean names, because at least you are listening. You keep picking up this paper for a reason, and if that reason is even remotely tied to whatever I write, then I sin-

cerely thank you. Opinion writing has opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking. I have learned there are multiple sides to every issue, and each side has its own merits (even the ones you hate the most—especially the ones you hate the most). In my writing I have tried to promote tolerance of this idea and encourage lesspopular ideas with morals and ethics. Sometimes this was successful, other times not so much. So if there is anything you can take away from this column, let it be this: There isn’t a right or wrong opinion. Every thought, every comment and every article is important, regardless of your personal beliefs. Let others’ opinions allow you to fine-tune your own judgments and learn how to adapt as facts, figures and even people change. Be kind, and know that your opinion – though perhaps not found in the confines of a newspaper – is just as important as the one I or anyone else may present, and just as powerful if given the right medium. Thank you for the responses, for the stupid Facebook likes and the death threats. Thank you for inadvertently making me feel more famous than I actually was. Thank you for your love, your hate, and, most of all, your readership. @daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Subletting for the summer made easy: What tenants should know Victoria Robertson University of Illinois

Subletting an apartment is stressful and confusing, especially when there is limited help from the leasing office. Many students will be subletting for the first time, which means many students will require help as to how to go about subletting. Here are some of the things students will need to know prior to subletting their apartment, and that are often not outlined ahead of time so that students end up surprised and feel taken advantage of. 1. Students are responsible for damages while subletting. This is one of those facts that most students aren’t fully aware of before they decide to sublet their apartment. It’s extremely important information that students should know prior to any sublets, as this can be a determinant as to whether or not it’s actually “worth it” to sublet the apartment.

DA

Subletting an apartment can be a difficult process. Leasing offices should alert students to the potential costs of subletting their apartment, especially when any damages are the financial responsibility of those subletting the apartment. 2. How to switch names on the utilities. Setting up utilities can be difficult, especially when students have never done so before. So when switching utilities over to the new sublets, it can be a confusing process. Leasing offices should let

wikimedia.org

students know the best way to go about this, as well as how to talk with the sublets about setting up the utilities so they are all ready when they move in. In past experiences, students have turned off the utilities and the new sublets move in without knowing this, and usually it takes about two days to get these back up and running. Having resources available such as this so that students are prepared ahead of time,

would be much more beneficial to the tenants as well as help to avoid any mistakes. 3. What students are liable for. Another thing many students aren’t aware of is that they are actually liable for anything lost/stolen even after they sublet. Any lost keys, damaged items in the apartment, lost/ stolen appliances, furniture, etc. all falls to the responsibility of those that are subletting the apartment. If these liabilities could be not only outlined in the lease, but also reiterated to students prior to subletting the apartment, these liabilities would become less of an issue/cost to students down the road. 4. The best way to find sublets. Finding sublets for an apartment is very hard, especially during the summer as many students are leaving campus or already have an apartment lined up. Leasing offices should provide their tenants with an outline as to how to find people to sublet the apartment (whether it’s easier through

social media, finding friends, etc.) and help students in determining who is worth subletting to and who to stay away from. 5. Cleaning the apartment. Again, there are multiple fees associated with dirty apartments at the end of the year, and even if the apartment is being sublet, the original tenant will be responsible for this fee as stated in the lease. This should be outlined in the lease, so that students don’t end up getting stuck

with fees they aren’t expecting after everyone has moved out of the apartment for the year. Also, this should be reiterated at the sublease signing, just so all parties are aware of the costs and it can be discussed so this doesn’t come as a surprise later on. Come time of the end of the spring semester (and winter, for those studying abroad, etc.) the leasing offices should hold informational seminars on subletting, or be more open/approachable to students that may need this sort of information.

Big name celebrities team up for racy Daytime Emmys opening LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matt Lauer and Ellen DeGeneres helped the Daytime Emmys make a genderbending return to television with a comedy bit involving pasties and black stockings - and not worn by DeGeneres. "General Hospital" and "The Young and the Restless" were the top winners Sunday with three trophies each, while the latter shared the best drama series award with "Days of Our Lives." The ceremony opened with a pretaped segment in which Lauer and DeGeneres agreed to end their faux feud. The punchline: DeGeneres had sneakily edited the tape to put Lauer's head atop a man's chiseled body clad only in tasseled pasties, briefs and lace-topped stockings. It was reminiscent of a previous DeGeneres prank on her talk show in which she doctored a Lauer "Fifty Shades of Grey" cast interview to show him in a similar outfit, whip and all. The "Today" host, or his shimmying facsimile, agreed to donate a thousand dollars to an unspecified charity each time he

was thanked by winners during the ceremony. "CBS Sunday Morning" host Charles Osgood, whose show was honored as best morning program, offered a heartfelt shoutout to Lauer. "Thank you for doing what you did because, God knows, I don't want to do that," said the 82-year-old Osgood. The ceremony took a dignified turn when Betty White was honored with a lifetime achievement award. "Hello, beautiful," she said to her trophy. "When I started in 1949 I had no idea that I'd still be around at this point, for one thing, or that I'd still be privileged enough to still be in this business. And it is such a privilege." Tyra Banks hosted the ceremony that aired on the Pop cable channel. The Daytime Emmys, which once had a secure home on the broadcast networks, settled for streaming online last year after a twoyear turn on the cable news channel HLN. On Sunday, the Pop channel was forced to fend off the ceremony's unau-

thorized streaming after discovering its server had been hacked, a spokesman said. In a statement, the channel warned that any streaming was not sanctioned by the TV academy. The issue apparently was resolved during the ceremony, the spokesman said. The show's year-to-year change in location is a reflection of the dwindling daytime audience and programming shifts, but that didn't diminish the winners' enthusiasm. A beaming Craig Ferguson, replaced by James Corden as host of CBS' "The Late Late Show," accepted the trophy for best game show host for "Celebrity Name Game." "I never win anything. This is fantastic," Ferguson said, adding, "Thank you, Hollywood, for a job." Freddie Smith was honored as best younger actor in a drama for his role as Sonny in "Days of Our Lives." His character and that of Will (played by Guy Wilson) were part of daytime TV's first gay wedding with two men. Smith paid tribute to "the LGBT community for showing strength and cour-

age. You're an inspiration to all of us." The ceremony featured the reunion of Anthony Geary and Genie Francis, the former "General Hospital" couple of Luke and Laura, who presented the trophy for best drama series, a tie, to "Days of Our Lives" and "The Young and the Restless." Geary was a winner as well, accepting his eighth Emmy for his "General Hospital" role, while fellow series star Maura West was named best lead drama actress. Other winners included Amelia Heinle, best supporting actress in a drama series for "The Young and the Restless," and Chad Duell, best supporting actor for "General Hospital." "Un Nuevo Dia" received the award for best Spanishlanguage morning program at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awards. An in memoriam tribute was introduced by Melissa Rivers, who said her mother's career was reinvigorated by a daytime talk show after her late-night show was canceled. "The Joan Rivers Show" won a

Craig Ferguson wins for best game show host. Daytime Emmy in 1990, the only Emmy her mother ever got, Melissa Rivers noted. Among the winners Sunday were "Jeopardy!," best game show; Steve Harvey, host of an informative talk show; "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," enter-

tainment talk show; "Entertainment Tonight," entertainment news program; Hunter King, younger actress in a drama series, "The Young and the Restless"; and Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan, entertainment talk show hosts, for "Live! with Kelly and Michael."

‘There are no strings on me,’ ‘Avengers” stars talk artificial intelligence BURBANK, California (AP) — The cast of “Avengers: Age of Ultron” may battle out-of-control artificial intelligence onscreen but in real life, they’re not so sure about cutting-edge technology. The Associated Press talked with the “Ultron” cast about what they embrace and what they fear in today’s high-tech landscape: ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. I feel you have to embrace it. You know, there’s always that shadow play that goes on particularly in entertainment where it just goes wild and takes over and all of that stuff. But look, it took over a while ago, metaphorically speaking, just by people who were just strung out on their iPhones. Or I remember `Crackberry’ in the early 2000s. ... (As for an Apple Watch) I was just kind of like, it looks kind of small. I like my watch. ... I don’t need another Apple product. M A R K RUFFALO You get into automated artificial in-

telligence weaponry, which is being developed now. ... Who knows where that’s going to go but it’s not an accident that as (Tesla CEO) Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking come out against artificial intelligence and say, `Hey guys, this is scary. We should slow it down,’ that this movie pops up in the collective subconscious of the culture. ELIZABETH OLSEN I can’t advance with the times. My mother doesn’t even know how to check her messages on her cellphone. Does not know how to text message. So I’m my mother’s daughter. My mom doesn’t have email. ... I like technology f o r like

health improvement. I like technology for how to preserve our planet better. I don’t like technology for quicker information, faster. That’s just too overwhelming. CHRIS HEMSWORTH I love robots. Especially if they can clean up around the house, change nappies and things like that. That’s what I’m excited about. ... I want like talking robots, to tell them my problems and stuff like that. That will be a real plus for me. ... We’re on a slippery slope, aren’t we? You can’t really deny it - the exponential growth in technology is rapidly outpacing our ability to even understand it.

JEREMY RENNER I think it’s all terrifying. I think technology is amazing. I think humans abuse it, personally. COBIE SMULDERS I still can’t figure out how to use my phone. I’m just getting email. I’m just understanding that process. I feel like it’s happening so rapidly and I just can’t keep up with it. SCARLETT JOHANSSON If Elon Musk says it’s

the end of humanity, then I’m scared. JAMES SPADER I mean, television, for instance, is a very good example. Everyone very quickly decided that the most important thing and the best way to improve our lives was to have three televisions in every home. And the ra m i f i cations and the effect of that - the collateral effect of tele-

visions in everyone’s home and children being raised by televisions - on everyone’s culture and society, has proven to be very problematic. And computers, the same. PAUL BETTANY (Technology) is a double-edged sword, isn’t it? You can 3D print an arm for a kid ... but also you can be cut off from your children. I sit with my children and play, and I hear my phone go `beep.’ And even if I don’t go to it, I’m thinking (about it). ... (Wife) Jennifer (Connelly) and I went out for dinner and saw a bunch of girls celebrating graduation ... taking pictures of themselves pretending to have the evening that they weren’t actually having. Because they were just then posting it, and then going `Hey we’re having fun!’ And then back to this relationship with (their phones).

Las Vegas sets up concentric security for Pacquiao vs. Mayweather fight LAS VEGAS (AP) — Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather hadn’t even decided how much it would cost home viewers to watch their fight when the head of the Nevada Athletic Commission started planning security for their big bout. Five times in the 10 weeks since the two welterweights set a date for their long-awaited fight, commission chief Francisco Aguilar has convened state, federal and local police, fire, tourism and fight officials for one thing: to keep hundreds of thousands of people outside the ring safe. Boxing, particularly in big matches like this one, poses a special challenge to Las Vegas officials. “We’re not preparing for a fight night. We’re preparing for a fight week,” Deputy Las Vegas Police Chief Gary Schofield said, pointing to a series of events, including Friday’s weigh-in at the MGM Grand hotel. As a security and crowdcontrol measure, advance tickets ($10 face value) will be required for the first time. He described a security plan of concentric circles. The Athletic Commission handles security inside the ring. The hotel and police have responsibility for the arena and hotel, which is Las Vegas’ biggest, with 5,005 rooms. Police, along with state and federal agencies, are in charge outside - “all the

way out to the airport, Interstate 15 and the neighborhoods,” Schofield said. “The overall goal is to maintain the integrity of the event,” Aguilar said. “Las Vegas is a brand. To protect the brand, you have to protect the event.” Fight nights haven’t always gone so smoothly. In 1993, “Fan Man” James Miller guided his powered parachute to land next to a Caesars Palace outdoor ring where Evander Holyfield and Riddick Bowe were brawling. Ringside fans and security pummeled Miller, who was arrested for the stunt. In 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting after Mike Tyson knocked out Bruce Seldon at the MGM. In 1997, bedlam erupted inside and outside the ring when Tyson was disqualified for biting Evander Holyfield’s ears. Thousands of people stampeded through the MGM Grand hotel lobby. Last year, a scuffle in the elbow-to-elbow crowd leaving a MayweatherMarcos Maidana fight - and a loud noise that officials blame on a partition falling to the floor, not a gunshot - spurred a panicked stampede in a food court area outside the arena. Officials said about 50 people were treated for minor injuries. “We’ve had times when it doesn’t quite go according to plan,” Schofield acknowledged. “We’ve learned.”

Officials won’t say much about the details of how they’ll protect the scene and the army of celebrities in town. But Deputy Clark County Fire Chief Erik Newman said about 300 firefighters in his department will be on duty or stand-by. “I think we’ll have the most millionaires and billionaires in one place in the country,” Newman said. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority reported last week that virtually all 150,000 hotel rooms in the city were sold for fight weekend. Las Vegas police have almost 2,500 sworn officers. They’ll get help this week from the Nevada Highway Patrol, neighboring Henderson and North Las Vegas police, and federal agencies ranging from the FBI to the Department of Homeland Security. “We’re a community that knows how to handle large events,” Schofield said. “We do them a lot.” Indeed, Las Vegas draws 340,000 people for its annual New Year’s Eve fireworks party on the Strip, 200,000 to a weekend-long

Electric Daisy Carnival and almost 120,000 for a NASCAR race. Tim Jeffery, vice president of security for the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino, said fight fans and tourists will notice lots of security officers in bright yellow-green shirts on pedestals, but won’t see behind-the-scenes preparation.

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

on your priorities. Tonight: Go for what you want.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You will need to make an extra effort to determine what to do to get some feedback from an important person. Keep in mind that you could be stubborn or provocative if you don’t get the answer you desire. Be aware of the costs of proceeding. Tonight: Get some exercise.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Lie low and choose to be passive. Listen carefully to a conversation to determine what is being left out. Confusion seems to surround a work-related situation. Let it go; time will help you clear up the problem. Say little and learn a lot. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You typically are logical and forthright, but at this point in time, you’ll tap into your creativity when a problem appears. A meeting occurs that could confuse you as well as others for a while. You will be fine, as long as you focus

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You know what you want, and you recognize the power of having support from others. When you speak to others, you have a way of conjuring up a clear mental picture for them. Experiment with new ideas and different approaches. Tonight: Out and about.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Be aware of the costs of heading in a certain direction. A conversation with a friend could be confusing at best. Pressure builds and adds some stress.

IN-STATE SHOWDOWN

Andrew spellman/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia outfielder Caleb Potter celebrates hitting a home run against Penn State earlier in the season.

West Virginia faces Marshall tonight in rematch of last week’s game by david statman

associate sports editor @djstatman77

After a Mountaineer win last week, the West Virginia and Marshall baseball teams are set for round two of the hardball version of the Friends of Coal Bowl at 6 p.m. tonight, when the two state schools meet at the Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W.Va. Tonight’s meeting with the Thundering Herd is one of a pair of midweek games for the 24-17 Mountaineers. They also have a road date with a strong Radford team tomorrow night, as West Virginia tries to stay fresh heading into a massive weekend series with fifth-ranked TCU.

“When you’re swinging the bat well you want to play a lot and stay in the groove,” said Mountaineer head coach Randy Mazey. “I feel like our guys are standing in there pretty well, we had some good at-bats.” Our big lefties are really driving some balls, and when that’s the case you don’t want to take a week off until you play again. Playing on Tuesday and Wednesday is really going to help our offense going into TCU.” The Mountaineers are no strangers to Marshall, whom they met at the Monongalia County Ballpark exactly one week ago. Although the Thundering Herd came into the game with a 13-25 record,

the Mountaineers needed a bases loaded walk by center fielder KC Huth in the eighth inning to win, 3-2. Behind strong outings from freshmen Shane Ennis and Adam Keller, WVU limited Marshall to just two hits last Tuesday. But despite Marshall’s weak offense, the Herd has scored the secondfewest total runs in Conference USA. Mazey says the pressure is on his team to keep their edge against their in-state rival. “We have to make sure that they don’t go down there and just think that since Marshall only got two hits at our place it’s going to be easy,” Mazey said. “They get really fired

up to play us, so we’re going to have to do the same thing as last time: Really attack the strike zone, and hopefully our hot hitters will stay on track.” Ennis and Keller have been staples in Randy Mazey’s midweek rotation, but with two midweek games coming up, rather than the customary single game, Mazey will likely have to turn to some arms that he hasn’t used as much in game action. “Our pitching’s going to be tested. We’re going to have to pitch some guys who haven’t been pitching much, which is good. I want to see what those guys can do, because if we continue this thing on we’re going to need more guys than what we’ve

ROWING

Giesbrecht wraps up first year with West Virginia rowing team by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

“Rowing is a sport of perseverance,” said West Virginia freshman rower, Colleen Giesbrecht. The future of the West Virginia women’s rowing team looks bright as ever with a competitive novice squad full of youthful rowers willing to learn and push themselves mentally and physically every day. Giesbrecht, originally from St. Catharines, Ontario, played almost every sport she could while growing up. When the opportunity arose for her to try rowing as a new sport, she jumped in headfirst. “When I was 10, my mom signed my older sister and I up for a ‘learn to row’ camp with St. Catharines Rowing Club. I absolutely loved the camp and did it for two more summers,” Giesbrecht said. “Then my sister joined our high school rowing team her freshman year. That summer, she rowed competitively with St. Catharines Rowing Club and I volunteered at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, which is a very competitive regatta on our home course, Martindale Pond,” she said. “When I was volunteer-

ing one day, I saw a St. Catharine’s boat come off the water with gold medals around their necks and as they walked up the dock everyone started clapping and I thought, ‘I want to win this race and have people clap for me.” When she got to high school, Giesbrecht’s career began to take off. She fell in love with the sport of rowing and rowed during the spring, summer and fall with no off-season. This was how Giesbrecht developed as an athlete and knew she wanted to pursue an opportunity to become a college athlete at the DI level. After speaking with head coach Jimmy King, West Virginia quickly caught Giesbrecht’s eye. She wanted to become a West Virginia Mountaineer. “I had been emailing coaches and met Coach King and Coach VO (Stacey Van Order) at the Henley Regatta. From there it was a typical recruiting process. I came to WVU for a visit in the fall right before early signing week and then signed less than a week later,” Giesbrecht said. Although the grueling practices and endless hours spent training can sometimes be difficult, the fact that there is no off-sea-

son, especially for a sport as physical as rowing, is a motivational tool when learning to persevere. “We have to train inside on the ergs for the winter and staying motivated can be very difficult some days when all you want to do is be out on the water,” Giesbrecht said. “As of right now, I am just focused on finishing up this season and the next three years here at WVU. In the future, I will definitely stay involved with the sport whether that be through coaching or continuing to row.” As her freshman year at West Virginia comes to a close in just a few weeks following the Big 12 Championships, Giesbrecht says her first year has been a rewarding experience, to say the least. “It has been a very rewarding experience being on the team here. The team has been very welcoming and made me feel very at home here,” she said. “My best memory so far this year was putting on the West Virginia uniform for the first time. It was so exciting to be representing my school for the first time and my family came to watch so that was really special.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

shown.” Since their defeat in Morgantown last week, Marshall rebounded to take two of three from Middle Tennessee State over the weekend to take their season record to 1527, although they only scored a total of six runs in that series. The Mountaineers are projected to send Shane Ennis to the mound for the second consecutive week against Marshall. Ennis tossed three innings with one hit and one unearned run last Tuesday in Morgantown, striking out five. Ennis last appeared in relief Friday against Kansas, where he lowered his ERA to 3.76 to go with his 1-2 season record. Opposing Ennis on the

hill will be the same man who started against West Virginia last week, righthander Josh King. A senior who has primarily worked out of the bullpen this year, King brings a record of 0-2 with a 7.43 ERA into tonight’s game. King put together one of his strongest outings of the season against West Virginia last week, throwing 5.1 innings, notching five strikeouts and only allowing three hits and two earned runs. Marshall head coach Jeff Waggoner will have to hope that King can repeat that formula tonight, or his team risks losing to their in-state rival for the third consecutive time. djstatman@mix.wvu.edu

Senior Kate Schwindel dribbles across the field during a game against Oklahoma in October.

by ryan petrovich sports writer @Dailyathenaeum

The spring season for the West Virginia women’s soccer team has come to a close and the Mountaineers will end the slate with a 3-2 record. The team’s most recent win came against Ohio State Saturday. The Mountaineers downed the Buckeyes 3-2. “Today was a good day. We had some silly breakdowns and Ohio State punished us, but overall this was a great end to the spring season,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a release. “The whole team played a tough game, and we were able to finish enough chances. Three goals is a

great effort against a team like Ohio State. We’ve been working on scoring chances, so I’m happy where we ended the spring.” There’s more encouraging news than just finishing the spring season with a winning record, though. Throughout the spring different players have showed what they’re capable of and it’s going to benefit the team with the departure of key senior players. The most notable senior to graduate is forward Kate Schwindel, who has been a significant part in the program’s recent domination of the Big 12 Conference. Throughout her time under Izzo-Brown, Schwindel amassed 33 goals, 22 assists and played in 77 games, starting in 74

of them. It goes without saying that Schwindel’s offensive production will be missed, but perhaps not as sorely as one may think. Izzo-Brown has a tremendous batch of players waiting in the wings and in 2015 this could be the season where some of them truly shine. Soon-to-be sophomore forward Michaela Abam had a big-time game against Ohio State last weekend. She scored two of the three goals for the Mountaineers. Last season Abam showed a lot of promise. Even as a freshman she contributed a lot of time and production – aiding the Mountaineers in claiming yet another Big 12 championship.

Abam racked up eight goals in 2014 and started in six games. Izzo-Brown was very outspoken about Abam and one has to believe her stock will only rise after a solid spring season. Another player, who may have been an unlikely hero during West Virginia’s spring season run, was another freshman (soonto-be sophomore) forward Heather Kaleiohi. Kaleiohi also had an impressive spring season. During last year’s regular season Kaleiohi saw very little playing time. She played in just five games and registered only one shot. In the spring games, however, Kaleiohi accumulated three total goals including two against St.

Francis in the team’s third spring season game. She helped the team win in a 6-0 blowout. Both Abam and Kaleiohi were brought in last season and while Abam made an early impact, Kaleiohi’s recent play shows Izzo-Brown’s recruiting ways could again pay off in 2015 and seasons to come. If these two players and others can continue to play at a high level Schwindel’s shoes will be filled. A strong spring season for the two freshmen has to have Izzo-Brown excited for the upcoming season. In 2015 the Mountaineers will be searching to claim their fifth Big 12 Conference title. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

William Crest looks for an open receiver in Saturday’s Gold-Blue Spring Game.

BY DILLON DURST SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

While many West Virginia football fans expected to see quarterback William Crest throwing passes this fall, they may see him catching them instead. During the Mountaineers’ annual Gold-Blue Spring Game Saturday that drew a crowd of over 8,000, the former blue-chip, dualthreat quarterback caught four passes for 31 yards, including a long of 11 yards. “He’s one of our better football players,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen of

the redshirt freshman. “A lot of this is what spring football is all about: The ability to experiment with different people at different things.” “I think we would all agree that he’s a pretty good football player, so we’re going to continue to do things and figure out what he does best, whether that’s playing receiver, running back, quarterback, punt returner or kick returner.” At 6-foot-2 and 218 pounds, Crest at receiver isn’t that far-fetched. He checks in just one inch shorter than record-setting receiver and expected

top-10 NFL Draft selection Kevin White, and could be a matchup nightmare against a smaller cornerback. “He’s a great athlete. He’s adjusted very well,” said receiver Daikiel Shorts. “He’s in it for something, and he’s doing a great job. I haven’t given him any pointers, but once we start up in the summer I will.” Big 12 Conference foe TCU also tried a similar move with dynamic quarterback Trevone Boykin during the 2012 and 2013 seasons. With incumbent quarterback Casey Pachall garnering most of the

Horned Frogs’ snaps under center in 2013, Boykin split time between quarterback and receiver quite successfully. Last season in his first full season as the starting quarterback, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound Boykin passed for 3,901 yards and 33 touchdowns and finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting. “He has a big body, and he’s played quarterback. He has the football smarts, so he knows when you see a certain look he knows that he should expect the ball coming,” said quarterback Skyler Howard, who Holgorsen proclaimed as

the team’s “clear-cut No. 1” option under center last weekend. “We talk on and off after every series kind of like what me and (senior receiver) Jordan Thompson do. We get on the same page because we are both quarterbacks and we both think like quarterbacks.” Holgorsen and staff experimented with Crest at punt returner during last year’s fall camp, so don’t expect to see the redshirt freshman on the bench this fall if he’s a capable option at receiver, or any other position for that matter. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Hamilton given back to Texas after Angels stint ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Josh Hamilton is back with the Texas Rangers. After two troublesome years with the Los Angeles Angels and less than halfway through a $125 million, fiveyear contract, Hamilton was traded to AL West rival Texas with cash on Monday for a player to be named or cash. “I had a lot of good memories here,” Hamilton said during a news conference. “I’m back here. I’m back home. I’m going to give everything I’ve got.” On the 15-day disabled list while recovering from offseason right shoulder surgery, Hamilton took a physical and will report Tuesday to the Rangers’ spring training complex in Surprise, Arizona. Daniels said

the Rangers expect he will be activated during the second half of May. “At the end of the day this is a pretty easy decision for us,” Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said, calling Hamilton “a player we feel can be productive and help us win games.” Hamilton returns to the team he helped make consecutive World Series appearances in 2010 and ‘11. Hamilton was the 2010 AL MVP and an All-Star each of his five seasons with Texas (2008-12). “It didn’t work out on the field. It didn’t work out off the field,” Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said during a conference call. “From beginning to end, this is not what we planned. This

is not the way we envisioned any of this playing out from the moment we signed Josh. ... “At the end of the day, this is what we felt this was best for the team, that we were able to clear the air, that we were able to move forward with the group of 25 that we have on the field today.” Los Angeles is expected to pay most of the remaining $80.2 million Hamilton was owed: $20,234,973 this year and $30 million in each of the final two seasons. As part of the trade, Hamilton agreed to give up some of the money he was due under the contract, a person familiar with the trade said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because that was not announced. Hamilton moves from

California, which has a 13.3 percent top income tax rate, to Texas, which does not have an income tax. The deal, which had to be approved by Major League Baseball and the players’ association, came more than two weeks after Angels owner Arte Moreno strongly indicated that Hamilton would never play again for Los Angeles. Hamilton never reported to the Angels this season after surgery in early February and his self-reported relapse into alcohol and cocaine use. Arbitrator Roberta Golick ruled MLB could not discipline Hamilton. “Josh, from the monent he arrived here, there’s been turbulence,” DiPoto said. “If

I could put my finger on why Josh had a tough time here, we may have been able to help him solve those issues.” In his first stint with Texas, Hamilton hit .305 with 152 homers and 506 RBIs in 647 games. He led the majors with a .359 batting average in 2010, the season he was also the MVP of the AL Championship Series. But he never came close to duplicating that during his time with the Angels. In 220 games the past two seasons in Los Angeles, Hamilton had 31 homers and 123 RBIs. He was limited to 89 games because of injuries last year, which ended with him going hitless in 13 at-bats as the Angels were swept in three games by Kansas City in the AL Divi-

sion Series. Hamilton, who turns 34 on May 21, always felt comfortable with the Rangers, a team prepared for and experienced in dealing with his unique situation. Hamilton’s major league debut came with Cincinnati when he had 19 homers and 47 RBIs in 2007, before being traded to Texas. That was eight years after he was the No. 1 overall pick by Tampa Bay and before falling into cocaine and alcohol addictions in the minors that derailed his career. He acknowledged a relapse in early 2009 after he was photographed getting drunk in a bar in Arizona. He held a news conference in 2012 to apologize for another night of drinking.

Cavaliers move on, maybe without Love and Smith

Cavaliers’ Tristan Thompson reaches to help LeBron James up during last Thursday night’s game against The Celtics. CLEVELAND (AP) -- The uncertainty and a heaping on Sunday, dispatching the And now that they’ve adscrappy Celtics 101-93 in a vanced, the Cavaliers are Cavaliers are bruised, not dose of anxiety. Cleveland completed a Game 4 that at times looked not only waiting to see who beaten or broken. Their playoff run ambles on amid four-game sweep in Boston more MMA than NBA. they’ll play next but whether they’ll have starters Kevin Love or J.R. Smith for their second-round series. “There’s a lot of things up in the air with our team right now,” said LeBron James, who has never lost a first round matchup in 10 trips to the playoffs. “It’s next man up, depending on what goes on with our team. That’s two big pieces, obviously, but next man up,” he said. “No excuses.” Love dislocated his left shoulder in the first quarter, hurting it when he got tangled while chasing a loose ball with Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk, who clamped down on Love’s arm and pulled so hard it popped out of the shoulder joint. “A bush-league play,” Love said following the game, his arm cradled in a sling. “I have no doubt in my mind that he did that on purpose.” The Cavaliers won’t know how long Love, in his first playoffs as a pro, will be sidelined until an MRI is taken. The team is expected to provide a medical update on Monday. If Love’s labrum isn’t torn, he could

return within a few weeks, but there’s a chance he will be limited by the injury throughout the remainder of the postseason. Love said he hoped the league’s ruling would be “swift and just.” Smith, too, is facing disciplinary action after he was ejected for swinging a clenched fist and smacking Boston’s Jae Crowder in the jaw. Crowder crumpled to the floor, sustaining a sprained left knee ligament. Smith, who came over from New York in a trade, will likely be suspended, inflicting a blow to Cleveland’s depth against either Milwaukee or Chicago. The Bulls can wrap up that series at home on Monday night. While he was remorseful following the game, Smith, who has been suspended in the past, has placed the Cavs in a bad spot. “This is a situation that I put my teammates in, and it’s a selfish act because I don’t want anything that we do collectively to be taken away by one individual, whether it’s me or anybody else,” said Smith, who was assessed a flagrant 2 foul. The Cavs could also lose reserve center Kendrick Perkins. Perkins came in after

Love got hurt and flattened Crowder with a high, hard pick, drawing a flagrant 1 but avoiding an ejection. Cavs coach David Blatt does have options if Love and Smith are not available. Forward Tristan Thompson was an unsung hero against the Celtics, outworking Boston’s big men on the boards. Although he can’t score or space the floor like Love, Thompson showed in his first taste of the postseason that he’s ready for the stage. Blatt can offset Smith’s absence by giving more playing time to Iman Shumpert, the team’s best perimeter defender. Shumpert was slated to be Cleveland’s starting “off” guard alongside Kyrie Irving, but he had a lingering shoulder injury when he arrived from the Knicks and Blatt liked the energy he provided to the second unit. Fortunately for the Cavs, they have a few days to rest and rearrange their plans. And, they still have James, who is aiming at his fifth straight Finals. “You just control what you can control,” said James, who had 27 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the clincher. “That’s all we can do.”

Jon Jones sought in hit-and-run ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- UFC light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones ran from a crash that hospitalized a pregnant woman but quickly came back to grab “a large handful of cash” from the car, witnesses told police. According to police, the accident occurred in southeastern Albuquerque just before noon Sunday when the driver of a rented SUV ran a red light. The driver, whom an off-duty officer identified as Jones, ran from the scene but then returned for the cash before fleeing again, police said. “Witnesses stated he shoved the cash into his pants and ran north,” the report said. Albuquerque police were seeking an arrest warrant for Jones on Monday, saying he would likely face a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident since the woman broke her arm in the crash. Police said they have

been unable to reach Jones or his lawyer. Officers found a pipe with marijuana in the SUV as well as MMA and rental car documents in Jones’ name, according to the police report. His agent, Malki Kawa, did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press. Jones (21-1) is scheduled to defend his title against Anthony “Rumble” Johnson at UFC 187 in Las Vegas on May 23, headlining one of the promotion’s biggest shows of the year. “We are in the process of gathering facts and will reserve further comment until more information is available,” the UFC said in a statement. Although he is widely considered the world’s best pound-for-pound mixed martial artist, Jones has endured legal problems and questionable behavior as champion. Jones was arrested in

2012 after crashing his Bentley into a telephone pole in Binghamton, New York. He had his driver’s license suspended after being charged with DWI, but did no jail time. Last August, Jones and challenger Daniel Cormier were involved in a brawl in the lobby of the MGM Grand casino while appearing at a promotional event. Jones was fined $50,000 and ordered to do community service by the Nevada Athletic Commission. In early December, Jones tested positive for metabolites of cocaine while training for his bout. Jones was allowed to compete because the test was conducted out of competition, and he beat Cormier at UFC 182. When the failed drug test became public, Jones publicly apologized for a “mistake,” but spent just one day in a drug rehabilitation center before checking himself out.
