Locals to speak on addiction recovery by tessa iglesias staff writer @dailyathenaeum

There are more than 23 million Americans living in long-term recovery from addiction, according to the Faces and Voices of Recovery. This is why West Virginia University’s Collegiate Recovery Program is hosting “Multiple Pathways to Recovery,” at 7 p.m. tonight in the Gluck Theatre of the Mountainlair. The event will host a panel of individuals in long-term recovery from a large range of addictions including narcotics, alco-

hol and eating disorders. The panel members will discuss personal stories as well as what overcoming addiction means to them. The event is open to individuals interested in achieving and understanding long-term recovery. “There is no one way to recovery. What may work for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another. There are many approaches that can lead to long term recovery,” said Cathy Yura, Director of the WVU Collegiate Recovery Program. “We want to help everyone understand that there are many ways to enter and sustain recovery

and programs to help people that are not well known. If one path doesn’t work, it is important that people know there are other paths to try and to not give up on finding a full life.” The speakers are members of the Morgantown and WVU communities, such as students, staff, alumni and community members who are proud of their recovery and want to change the culture at WVU. The WVU Collegiate Recovery Program, established in February 2016, is the first of its kind in West Virginia. The program itself does not provide direct recov-

ery assistance, but instead “seeks to establish a community at the University for those both supporting and seeking a culture of recovery… it seeks to surround students in various recovery programs and/or counseling with a supporting community to ensure they can still achieve academic success,” according to WVUToday. “We know there are potentially hundreds of students currently living a life in recovery, but who have not found each other to create a recovery culture on campus and it is our goal to reach them and help them come together

for mutual support and be a safe place for students who are considering recovery to join,” Yura said. “We know students in recovery have higher GPAs, are more engaged in service to the community and have higher graduation rates.” Dr. Kevin Blankenship, founder of Jacob’s Ladder; Herb Linn, assistant director for outreach at WVU Injury Control Research Center; and, Dr. Brian Quigley, medical director of psychiatry for WellWVU, will be in attendance to help answer questions from the audience. The event is free and

open to the public. “With substance use disorders being a chronic condition and with no shortage of tragic endings all over our country, it is important that everyone knows that there is hope and help,” Yura said. “Students are impacted by addictions, either from their own use or that of others. This panel will provide examples of individuals who understand how long term recovery has changed their life for the better and want to explain how it is possible for others to do the same.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Morgantown grows with necessary improvements, changes by rachel mcbride staff writer @rachelgmcb

The city of Morgantown regularly faces many challenges, but in the past few years the city has moved forward with improving the local infrastructure. West Virginia University, local business owners, the county government and city residents applied their expertise and commitment to serving on boards and commissions aimed at improving the city. Some of the recent changes for the city include the Coordinating Council on Homelessness decreasing homelessness by 50 percent since 2013’s statistics; the Morgantown Utility Board expanding es-

sential water reserves and sewage capacity to address regional growth needs; and the implementation of the Friends of Decker’s Creek. This facility and surrounding park setting provide a location to serve Morgantown’s residents. Recently, University Police and the Morgantown Police entered a mutual aid agreement, where the WVU Police will be the first responders to resolve issues on North High Street and surrounding “Fraternity Row.” According to City Councilwoman Nancy Ganz, direct student interaction with the WVU police will improve student safety, allowing Morgantown police to direct their resources to other neighborhoods.

The Council supported this effort and cooperation with private property owners to reduce problematic tailgating activities. The downtown entertainment venues serve on average 7,000 people per night. In order to safely accommodate this demand, Morgantown police and parking actively manage parking on High Street. Taxi stands, bus stops and street vendors are strategically located near these venues. In an attempt to make the town safer, ordinances banning upholstered furniture on front porches contributed to the decrease in dangerous couch, street and dumpster fires by 40 percent, Ganz said. Another Home Rule Or-

dinance grants fire marshals the police powers to protect and arrest. Working with the city judge, council provided streamlining technology in court. The city’s fire service fee increased last year, allowing the fire department to update essential training and equipment while maintaining lower response times and insurance rates in the city. The Safe Community Fee implemented on Jan. 1 allows the city to repair and improve damaged transportation infrastructure, retain public works personnel, replace equipment in street department and add police officers and upgrade police equipment. “A tough decision, but it met the state remedy to

improve the infrastructure and address the growing population needs of our city,” Ganz said. The city of Morgantown, Monongalia County and WVU also partnered to gain the National Safety Council Safe Community status, with the goal of accident prevention and injury reduction. Ganz said Morgantown is the first in the country to have a city, county and major university achieve this status. One example of the effectiveness of the Safe Community Initiative was the recent naloxone training for the WVU and Morgantown police officers and Monongalia County sheriff ’s deputies by the WVU School of Public Health.

However, even with all these improvements, there are many who believe there is always more to be done to improve the infrastructure within the town. Issues such as roads and taxes have always been hot topics of debate within the city, and according to County Commissioner, Tom Bloom, they are issues the city must fix immediately. Bloom said although the city of Morgantown is growing tremendously, the infrastructure isn’t keeping up with the town’s fast growth rate. According

In this Oct. 12, 2012, file photo Bob Graham speaks in Gainesville, Fla.. The Obama administration will likely soon release at least part of a 28-page secret chapter from a congressional inquiry into 9/11 that may shed light on possible Saudi connections to the attackers. Graham and others say the documents point suspicion at the Saudis. Graham says an Obama administration official told him that intelligence officials will decide in the next several weeks whether to release at least parts of the documents, a disclosure that comes at a time of strained U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia, a long-time American ally. WASHINGTON (AP)—The Obama administration will likely soon release at least part of a 28-page secret chapter from a congressional inquiry into 9/11 that may shed light on possible Saudi connections to the attackers. The documents, kept in a secure room in the basement of the Capitol, contain information from the joint congressional inquiry into “specific sources of foreign support for some of the Sept. 11 hijackers while they were in the United States.” Bob Graham, who was co-chairman of that bipartisan panel, and others say the documents point suspicion at the Saudis. The former Democratic senator from Florida says an administration official told him that intelligence officials will decide in the next several weeks whether to release at least parts of the documents. The disclosure would come at a time of strained U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia, a long-time American ally. “I hope that decision is to honor the American people and make it available,” Graham told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “The most important unanswered question of 9/11 is, did these 19 people conduct this very sophisticated plot alone, or were they supported?” Tim Roemer, who was a member of both the joint congressional inquiry as well as the 9/11 Commission and

has read the secret chapter three times, described the 28 pages as a “preliminary police report.” “There were clues. There were allegations. There were witness reports. There was evidence about the hijackers, about people they met with - all kinds of different things that the 9/11 Commission was then tasked with reviewing and investigating,” the former Democratic congressman from Indiana said Friday. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government says it has been “wrongfully and morbidly accused of complicity” in the attacks, is fighting extremists and working to clamp down on their funding channels. Still, the Saudis have long said that they would welcome declassification of the 28 pages because it would “allow us to respond to any allegations in a clear and credible manner.” The pages were withheld from the 838-page report on the orders of President George W. Bush, who said the release could divulge intelligence sources and methods. Still, protecting U.S.-Saudi diplomatic relations also was believed to have been a factor. Ben Rhodes, President Barack Obama’s deputy national security adviser, said Obama asked National Intelligence Director James Clapper to review the papers for possible declassification.

“When that’s done we’d expect that there will be some degree of declassification that provides more information,” Rhodes told reporters in Riyadh last week, where Obama met with King Salman and other Saudi leaders. The White House says the 28 pages did not come up during discussions. Neither the congressional inquiry nor the subsequent 9/11 Commission found any evidence that the Saudi government or senior Saudi officials knowingly supported those who orchestrated the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. But Graham, the relatives of victims and some lawmakers think there is reason to further probe possible Saudi links. Roemer said many questions remain about the roles of Fahad al Thumairy, an official at the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles who allegedly helped two of the hijackers find housing and transportation after they arrived in Southern California. Al Thumairy was later denied entry into the United States in May 2003 after the State Department alleged that he might be involved in terrorist activity. Roemer also wants to know more about Omar al Bayoumi, who was strongly suspected of being a Saudi spy and was alleged to have been helpful to the hijackers. “We did not discover ... Saudi government involvement at the highest level of

the 9/11 attacks,” Roemer said. But he added: “We certainly did not exonerate the Saudis. ... Saudi was a fertile ground for fundraising for alQaida. Some of these issues continue to be problems today. That’s why we need to continue to get to the bottom of this.” An Internet site pushing to get the documents released, 28pages.org, points to another document declassified in July 2015 that outlined ways in which the commission could examine possible Saudi links. That 47-page document lists several pages of individuals of interest and suggests questions that could be pursued. One name is suspected al-Qaida operative Ghassan al Sharbi. Al Sharbi, who was taking flight lessons in the Phoenix area before 9/11, was captured in 2002 in the same place in Pakistan as Abu Zubaydah, a top al-Qaida trainer who was apprehended and waterboarded dozens of times by U.S. interrogators. The document said that after al Sharbi was captured, the FBI discovered some documents buried nearby. One was al Sharbi’s pilot certificate inside an envelope from the Saudi Embassy in Washington, although it’s unclear whether the license had been mailed by the embassy or if the envelope was simply being reused.

CITY

said. There aren’t enough state or city funds to improve the infrastructure that needs the most work throughout town, Bloom said. WVU certainly made changes on campus with the implementation of Evansdale Crossing, Uni-

versity Place, University Park and the current renovations of the PRT. With these changes, WVU is able to expand. Wes Nugent, city councilman, said although residents should be concerned with how these new infrastructure improvements affect local landscapes and the community as a whole, they are enabling the city to grow. “This is allowing for a vision that came before me,” Nugent said. “That’s what we want in Morgantown, that density.” According to Nugent, the growing infrastructure in the area is allowing people to come back to the “core” of the city. “By bringing people back towards the core, we

are going (for) more of an urban environment,” Nugent said. “People like to live where they work and play.” Nugent said the implementation of the traffic light on Oakland Street will help improve some of the traffic issues in Morgantown. In regards to roads within city limits, there have also been major improvements with interstate I-79 and the opening of the Green Bag Road corridor. According to city council, the improvements in the area allow for the local community to ultimately live better lives; the area of Morgantown is changing for the better.

Continued from page 1 to Bloom, Morgantown’s roads need fixed now. “We (the city) are bringing in much more traffic but there aren’t enough roads to handle it,” Bloom

A positive change for the $20 bill Watch out, Andrew Jackson—there’s a new face in town. Harriet Tubman will soon replace President Jackson on the $20 bill, and many people aren’t happy about the decision for a number of reasons. However, the time is ripe for other non-presidential Americans to receive recognition for their contributions to this country. Tubman was integral in the creation of the Underground Railroad, a secret route of safe houses intended for African Americans escaping to free states in the 19th century. Her biography from Biography.com states she was born a slave in Maryland in 1820 and escaped to Pennsylvania, a free state, when she was 19. Tubman helped free 70 people over 13 separate trips to the American South and is known by her nickname, “the Moses of her people.” She also served a role in the Civil War as a spy and a scout for the Union. Jackson, however, is

Andrew Jackson, the current face of the $20 bill, has a less-than-reputable past. mostly noted for forcing thousands of Native Americans from their homes over a period of several years in what became known as the “Trail of Tears.” The History Channel’s online feature of the tragedy states Congress passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830 under Jackson, which forced the Native Americans who had lived

in the southeast for millennia to travel to lands on the western side of the Mississippi River. The journey is named due to the enormous loss of life that occurred as a result of disease and traveling in harsh conditions. It’s estimated tens of thousands of Native Americans died during the trip, with the Chero-

kee nation losing one-third of its entire population. Many are upset about the face change for a number of reasons. Conservatives like Donald Trump, as detailed in a recent NBC News article titled “For Trump, Tubman on $20 Bill Illustrates Broader American Problem,” claim the switch is purely an act of aggressive political

correctness only meant to appease the younger liberal generation. On the other side of the spectrum, liberals argue replacing Jackson will not end discrimination against female members of minority groups in America and that including a black woman in currency is simply a superficial act of social change.

However, new currency is printed each year, and only tradition mandates the continuation of seeing the faces of past presidents on our bills. Though George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Alexander Hamilton were crucial to the way this country operates today, they aren’t the only Americans to have contributed greatly to this country’s way of life. Instead of this single face change, more historical figures throughout American history should also get their chance at recognition. People not involved in politics in other countries, such as naturalist Charles Darwin and female Japanese author Ichiyo Higuchi, appear on their nation’s currency, and America should consider honoring similar American figures. Changing the face on a bill may not change history itself, but doing so serves to recognize those in the past who have. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Autistic people have much to offer society, work force kacie gault columnist @dailyathenaeum

With April being National Autism Awareness Month, it is important to understand the trials of being on the autism spectrum in modern times. As more research surrounding autism spectrum disorders is released, it becomes clear that continuing to exclude autistic people from holding jobs or being independent hampers global progress and only serves to oppress a group of people who may not be so different from us after all. With the right resources, autistic people can thrive and succeed in modern society. The Center for Disease Control’s website defines autism spectrum disorder as “a group of developmental disabilities” affecting its members’ social, communication, and behavioral skills. The website goes on to specify that genetics, conditions before, during and after pregnancy, and the parents’ age seem to be the biggest causes of ASD. About one in 68 children from all races, ethnicities and socioeconomic levels are diagnosed somewhere on the spectrum, with boys being 4.5 times more likely to receive a diagnosis. Those with ASD range anywhere from “gifted to severely challenged.” Along with many other characteristics, people on

dailytelegraph.com.au

Children wear blue for World Autism Awareness Day. the autism spectrum can often have trouble understanding feelings in general, avoid eye contact, do or say things repetitively and have difficulty with transition and change. There is no single medical test to diagnose ASD and there is no cure. However, studies show early recognition and behavioral and educational intervention can have a profound effect on an autistic child’s development and skill levels as they age. Though the brains of people with ASD process information differently, highfunctioning people with autism are no different than the rest of us. Peers with autism can become lifelong friends and, in my experience, can be some of the

most outstanding people one will ever know. However, because they are often misunderstood, they have faced ignorance and discrimination to the point of needing to form a civil rights movement of their own. Thirty-five percent of college-aged people with autism have never had a job or received any education after leaving high school and, according to two studies featured in US News from HealthDay in September 2013, only 17 percent of adults ages 21-25 with autism had ever lived on their own. In April of last year, the United Nations News Centre reported in an article titled “Marking Autism Awareness Day, UN officials call for in-

clusive societies” that staggering statistics like these prompted the SecretaryGeneral of the U.N., Ban Ki-moon, to use last year’s World Autism Awareness Day to call on businesses to look at people’s talents rather than their challenges and to reiterate the right of those with autism to work on an equal level with others. In this year’s address, Ban said inclusive practices were necessary and shunning those with autism not only violates their civil rights, but is a “waste of human potential.” Unfortunately, closedminded businesses and countries are not the only populations who shun, neglect or flat-out abuse autistic people. A pair of ad-

junct professors of law at the William and Mary School of Law, Pete and Pam Wright, have a comprehensive website called WrightsLaw.com, which focuses on those with disabilities. The site features various articles about the laws concerning disability rights and examples of case law resulting from suits filed over the last 10-20 years. Skimming the website’s archives reveals one case after another of school districts and children’s programs with no policy to educate or care for kids with autism. In every instance, parents seem to fight back and eventually pull their kids from the school in favor of private placement, where their children can get the help they

need. They also consistently win lawsuits surrounding tuition reimbursements, all because educators didn’t hire the employees necessary to properly teach or care for children with autism. The good news is that, over the years, the number of neurodiversity programs and organizations to help families with autism has grown exponentially, and the voices of support have gotten louder and more powerful. Writer Steve Silberman, who also addressed the U.N. during this year’s World Awareness Day, sought to remind able-minded folk of the bleak history of misdiagnosing and institutionalizing people with autism in his book, “NeuroTribes.” He also stressed the mantra of Temple Grandin, an autistic woman who revolutionized the food processing industry: Different, not less. Though the past says otherwise, people with autism have much to offer in potential careers and should not be discriminated against. Most importantly, more resources should be available in public schools so autistic children can receive the behavioral training they need to succeed at living a normal life once they reach adulthood. Such a widespread disorder deserves more societal accommodation—the well-being of those with autism depend on it. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Physician-assisted suicide is a kind, humane option for terminally ill people micah beachy columnist @dailyathenaeum

Imagine if your loved one fell terminally ill and had to face months of suffering. If they were a Canadian citizen, they would now be able to request medical assistance in ending their lives on their own terms. According to Canadian news website CBC News, Canada has recently introduced a medically-assisted suicide law applying only to Canadian residents. The United States should consider implementing similar legislation in order to allow terminally ill patients to avoid unnecessary pain and discomfort near the end of their life. Medically-assisted suicide, also known as physician-assisted suicide, occurs when a doctor aids in a patient’s death by providing the necessary resources to enable the patient to perform the life-ending act themselves. The methods may include prescribing sleeping pills and giving in-

learning.blogs.nytimes.com

Physician-assisted suicide allows terminally ill people the chance to end their life on their own terms. formation about the lethal dose while being aware the patient may use the pills to commit suicide. In the end, the patient has the right to choose; PAS is not the same as euthanasia. The contents of Canada’s new law were announced in “Canada Moves to Legalize Assisted Suicide” from The Wall Street Journal earlier

this month. The legislation mandates only individuals over the age of 18 can request a doctor’s help in dying. The person must have the request signed by two witnesses, and nurses and doctors will evaluate the requests. After the request has been made, there is a fixed 15-day waiting period that must occur before the sui-

cide may take place. While some people still snub the idea, parts of the U.S. have also begun to legalize medically-assisted suicide. An article announcing California’s decision to allow physicianassisted suicide from The Washington Times in October 2015 stated that PAS has already been legalized

in four other states. Methods vary among the states: California’s method mirrors Canada’s in the sense that an individual must wait 15 days before the request can be fulfilled, while the mandates in Washington and Oregon do not require witnesses to be present when the lethal dose of medication is administered. Five out of 50 states have already begun allowing medically assisted suicide to occur, but why not more? This is a pressing matter for all individuals living in the U.S. because it addresses the matter of a patient’s dignity during their final months or weeks of life. A person has no control over being born into this world, but should they have control over how they leave it? In a Gallup Poll from 2006 focusing on whether terminally ill people should have the right to die, physicians were asked whether or not they should be allowed, by legal means, to end a person’s life using a painless procedure. The question also addresses that PAS would only be approved if the person had a fatal dis-

ease that could not be cured and if that person and their family requested this procedure. With this information in mind, 69 percent of physicians answered yes to the question. This makes sense: Doctors likely do not want to watch their patients suffer or be in pain. If all necessary legal actions have been taken, there is no medical or legal explanation as to why a suffering individual should not be allowed to take his or her own life. If a person suffering from a terminal disease wishes to die, the most ethical thing to do would be to simply allow their death to occur. Why prolong a person’s suffering and pain if it can easily end? Terrible diseases take away people’s right to make their own choices; they can control a person’s health, actions, how they live and when they die. If a terminally ill person wishes to take control of their circumstances, they should be the ones to end their life—not their disease. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Beyonce drops new Arabian Nights at Creative Arts Center album, speculation on Drake’s upcoming hits

theshaderoom.com

Beyonce’s new album, ‘Lemonade,’ dropped on Tidal Saturday.

by Chelsea Walker A&E WRiter @dailyathenaeum

This week, hip-hop heavyweights Beyonce and Drake are stealing the spotlight with the release of their albums. Dropping “Lemonade” on Tidal Saturday, Beyonce’s new album features her typical themes, while Drake’s “Views from the 6,” expected to drop this Friday, has rap rumors buzzing about the artist’s new-found inspiration and lyrics. Beyonce’s long awaited sixth studio album undoubtedly couldn’t gain as much buzz as her last surprise visual record, when the artist dropped “Beyonce” unexpectedly in 2013. However, “Lemonade” boasts the same visual aesthetic and sounds as the 2013 record. In the last 10 years, Beyonce’s image as a feminist has grown to be one of her more defining character traits. The R&B artist, born and raised in Houston, has always led a life of performing. At a young age, Beyonce found herself at singing and dancing competitions across the state. In the 1990s, Beyonce’s role of starring in Destiny’s Child landed her a spot in Hollywood’s limelight. Touring from 1990 to 2006, Destiny’s Child dominated charts and reigned as one of the best selling girl groups of all time. When the group found itself taking a hiatus, Beyoncé went on to explore music solo. It was in 2003 that the singersong writer released her debut solo album, “Dangerously In Love,” that earned five Grammy Awards and two Billboard Hot 100 singles, “Crazy In Love” and “Baby Boy.” After officially calling it quits with Destiny’s Child, Beyonce continued to explore life as a solo artist. From there, Beyonce’s career took off with the release of her second studio album, “B’Day,” and her role in the major motion picture, “Dreamgirls,” where the artist first got her acting start. With a marriage to Jay-Z and a continued career of dropping chart-topping albums such as “I Am… Sasha Fierce” and “Beyonce,” the R&B writer has morphed into an artist who touches on controversial topics such as women’s sexuality, love, monogamy and even miscarriage. The artist’s release of “Lemonade,” accompanied with the hour-long short film of the same title, all explore those dark themes,

only in a more personal way. With a media frenzy spurring around rumors of Jay-Z’s infidelity, Beyonce’s “Lemonade” seems more like an album that touches on the artist’s personal relationship issues rather than those of listeners. Going back and forth between threatening Hova and begging for his affection, this album seems to be missing its identity. While Queen Bey normally hosts themes across various tracks collectively, this album seems to touch on several issues, from infidelity in songs such as “Sorry” to lyrics concerning racial tensions in “Formation.” Overall, while Beyonce has always had a way with beats and words, this album seems to lack the consistency most often found on a Yonce record. April 29 seems more and more like a holiday rather than an ordinary album release date with the much-anticipated release of Drake’s “Views from the 6.” Committing early on to a release in 2015, Toronto-based rapper Drake has been teasing fans about “Views” since 2014. In the world of Drake, 2014 seems centuries ago; in the meantime, there was a slew of diss tracks against fellow rapper Meek Mill, the infamous “Hotline Bling” music video and a “retail mixtape” with Future which acted as distractions leading to “Views from the 6” being placed on the backburner, along with the surprise release of “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.” The mixtape continued to brand Toronto as Drake’s city, with tracks “6 God,” “6 Man” and “You & the 6.” In Oct. 2015, Drake announced he was continuing work on “Views” and teased viewers with an anticipated release after the start of the New Year. When the debut single from “Views,” titled “Summer Sixteen,” dropped, fans were in arms awaiting the full record release. After waiting months, Drake finally teased an April release date with a photo on Instagram. In the last month, the Toronto-based rapper released two more singles from the record, “One Dance” and “Pop Style” featuring a Kayne West Jay-Z duo, selftitled The Throne. Speculations about the delayed release date state Drake is toying with perfected beats and raw lyrics. With an official release date of April 29, fans will have to patiently wait and see if they get to see some “Views from the 6.”

Drake’s ‘Views from the 6’ is to drop Friday.

The DA’s ultimate summer song playlist by Meg Weissend A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Laying by the beach and falling asleep to music is just around the corner. With less than two weeks to go, Mountaineers are counting down the days until summer. Here’s a Summer 2016 playlist for your warm days of doing not much of anything. Drake is often king of the rap world (sorry, Kanye), and has not one, but two songs that made this summer’s list. “One Dance,” a track featuring Wizkid and Kyla, is currently No. 1 on the charts. The new hit single has taken over parties around the nation due to its popular club-beat style. The Canadian rapper’s “Pop Style” is also climbing to the top and made the playlist. “Pop Style” features The Throne and has the slow, chill-type Drake instrumentals that everybody knows and loves. Both singles were released on April 5 and are predicted to be staples for this summer’s music. Colorado indie folk-rock band The Lumineers released its first new song in four years, “Ophelia,” as a preview for the release of their second studio album, “Cleopatra,” on April 8. The song is currently climbing the alternative charts, as music appreciators are going wild for the beautiful piano riff throughout the track. On “Ophelia,” the darker tone of The Lumineers’ new music can be heard within the familiar stomps, claps and harmonies that made their more whimsical “Ho Hey” a hit. The band has just begun a world tour in celebration of “Cleopatra.” Keith Urban’s “Wasted Time” was just released on April 4 and makes a perfect addition to the playlist. The song is the Australian country singer’s third single for his forthcoming ninth studio album, “Ripcord.” The fast-paced, poplaced tune waxes nostalgic on the magical younger years when “wasted time” - swinging on ropes, listening to Guns N’ Roses and dashboard drumming were some of the best times of his life. Reminiscing on his summer memories, Urban’s single is a good song to blast on long road trips with the windows down.

Electronic Dance Music is becoming a popular summer music genre. The Chainsmokers have dominated the EDM scene, so it was only appropriate to include one of the DJ duo’s current chart-topping singles. “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” by Mike Posner was originally acoustic guitar–based before it was remixed by the Norwegian duo Seeb and released last year, but the beachy single didn’t skyrocket in popularity until this winter. Now that the catchy single is still high on the charts and vacation season will be in full swing, this song will be highly replayed this summer. thefader.com The playlist also has a song by Kygo, a Norwe- Drake’s songs are featured multiple times on our playlist. gian DJ who has the ability to turn any song paradise-like, incorporating steel drums into most of his remixes.

Prince’s legacy ‘Huntsman’s’ box office woes includes Black activism ap

‘The Huntsman: Winter’s War’s’ all-star cast could not save it from flopping at the box office this weekend. LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Jungle Book” remained king of the box office in its second weekend in theaters, beating new opener “The Huntsman: Winter’s War” by around $40 million, according to comScore estimates Sunday. Disney’s live-action/CG spectacle is proving to be a true all-audience success story. With a PG-rating and solid word of mouth, it fell only 41 percent in weekend two, earning $60.8 million and bumping its domestic total to $191.5 million in just 10 days in theaters. The spectacular and somewhat unexpected hold of “The Jungle Book” overshadowed the debut of “The Huntsman: Winter’s War,” which, despite its high-wattage cast of Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain, had a somewhat lackluster $20.1 million bow. The movie cost $115 million to produce and is a follow-up to the 2012 fairy tale fantasy “Snow White and the Huntsman,” this time focused on Hemsworth’s character. The first film was budgeted at $170 million, earned $56.2 million in its debut and went on to gross $396.6 million worldwide. There are a number of

factors that may have contributed to the uninspiring performance of the sequel, one of which is the absence of original star Kristen Stewart, comScore senior analyst Paul Dergarabedian noted. “Snow White and the Huntsman” launched in June 2012 right in between the releases of the final two “Twilight” films. “She was a key reason for the opening of that first film,” Dergarabedian said. “That was going to be a tough act to follow.” “The Huntsman” also failed to impress critics and is hovering around 17 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Opening weekend audiences, however, gave the film a more promising B+ CinemaScore. “I would have liked more people to go see ours, but I certainly wouldn’t call it a flop either,” said Nick Carpou, Universal’s president of domestic distribution. “The final chapter of this one has not been written, but with a B+ CinemaScore and the audience appeal that it has, I think there’s a chance we’re going to play out a bit better than that word (flop) would indicate.” “Barbershop: The Next Cut” landed in third place with $10.8 million in its second weekend in theaters. “Zootopia” and “The

Boss” rounded out the top five with $6.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively. But this weekend, up 29.3 percent from last year, is all about “The Jungle Book.” Dergarabedian noted that it could actually help jumpstart the summer movie season too. The year is already up 9.2 percent, and now the big “Jungle Book” audiences are being exposed to all of the trailers for the upcoming season that kicks off with the launch of “Captain America: Civil War” in the first week of May. “Just like ‘Furious 7’ last year, ‘The Jungle Book’ is providing a great lead-in for a really big summer movie season,” Dergarabedian said. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday. 1. “The Jungle Book,” $60.8 million ($96 million international). 2. “The Hunstman: Winter ’s War,” $20.1 million ($32.1 million international). 3. “Barbershop: The Next Cut,” $10.8 million. 4. “Zootopia,” $6.6

Prince’s final shows included Bowie tribute ATLANTA (AP) — The crowd at Atlanta’s Fox Theater was on its feet screaming. Prince had already taken an encore, but he’d only played for just over an hour and he hadn’t even played “Purple Rain.” This show could not be over. He walked back onstage toward his purple grand piano and began singing: “I, I will be king.” “And you, you will be queen.” This wasn’t a Prince song, this was “Heroes.” It was a low-key memorial from one icon who changed music with inventiveness and daring sexuality to another - David Bowie, who died in January. After one more encore, about 80 minutes of total music, Prince left the stage to

prepare for his second show. This would be the last night he ever performed. There aren’t many musicians who could pull together a night of music the way Prince did this one both spontaneous and meticulously planned. He announced his shows just eight days before he was to play. Tickets went on sale the next day, with the cheapest costing well over $100, with fees. To prevent scalping, fans could only buy two and had to pick them up in person at the theater on the day of the show. Still, the two shows in the 4,600 seat theater sold out almost instantly. The day he was to play, an email went out; Prince had the flu, he had to postpone. He eventually rescheduled for a week later, April 14.

An announcement in the theater explained that “The Artist” insisted no photos or video be taken, and black tieclad enforcers were scattered throughout the theater. The show, just Prince and a piano, was intimate and playful, with candelabras on the sides of the stage and a massive screen of ever changing kaleidoscopic projections at the back. Prince entered with a cane that seemed all style and no function, and cut through the smoke billowing across the stage to his piano. He began with a medley of “Little Red Corvette” and “Dirty Mind” that somehow transformed into the Peanuts theme of “Linus and Lucy.” In the middle of songs, he’d take one hand off the

keys to scroll through a tablet perched on top of his piano. He briefly mentioned begging his jazz pianist dad to teach him piano, and he apologized for having postponed the show. But he didn’t speak much. He seemed full of energy. Between songs, he’d jump up and walk circles around the stage. At one point, maybe 20 minutes in, Prince just disappeared. Is there an intermission? People began going to the bathroom, but he quickly returned, saying that he had forgotten how emotional his songs could be. He cycled through a few of his major hits, including “Nothing Compares 2 U,” ‘’I Would Die 4 U,” ‘’The Most Beautiful Girl in the World,” and “Kiss.” But there were many more he never got to.

Prince was an activist as well as a musician. Prince accepted a standing ovation as he strolled out carrying a cane and rocking an Afro to present the 2015 Grammy for album of the year. Then he stole the show with a line that reminded everyone he was more than just a pop superstar; he was a black activist. “Albums still matter,” he said. “Like books and black lives, albums still matter. Tonight and always.” In the wake of his death Thursday at 57, radio stations played his biggest hits and fans came together to grieve. But beyond the charttoppers and dance parties, the legacy of Prince Rogers Nelson grew to include political stances, challenges to record execs and an overarching focus on AfricanAmerican empowerment. At the Grammys in Los Angeles, Prince was referring to the Black Lives Matter Movement that was galvanized by the 2014 police killing of an unarmed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. But Prince didn’t stop there. After protests rocked Baltimore over the death of a black man who suffered a spinal injury while riding in a police van, Prince stepped in and performed a tribute song named for the city that included the line, “Does anybody hear us pray for Michael Brown or Freddie Gray?” “This song shined a new light,” said Pastor Charles Ewing, Brown’s uncle. “A lot of his music had messages.” It wasn’t the first time Prince connected his music to the fight for racial justice. He told The Associated Press in 2004 that he had chastised music industry bosses over rap and R&B that promoted sex, drugs and violence. “What you won’t show your kids, don’t show ours,” he said at the time. About a decade earlier, he publicly feuded with record label Warner Bros. and appeared with the word “slave” scrawled on his cheek. Music journalist Kelley L. Carter said she thinks Prince saw racial inequality in that dispute and others, including his beef with music streaming services over artist pay that has left fans scrambling to find their favorite Prince songs. She said his defiance wasn’t about enriching himself, but about

“trying to pave the way for the next generation.” Carter, senior entertainment writer for ESPN’s The Undefeated, a website about race, sports and culture, wrote recently about meeting Prince last year at his Paisley Park compound in suburban Minneapolis, where he threw a party for black journalists in town for a convention. She said the conversation turned to the reported $400 million deal that brought the Beatles catalog to iTunes. Prince said he hadn’t been offered nearly as much, and when someone asked whether he thought he was being lowballed because he was black, Carter wrote, “He shot us all a ‘what-do-youthink?’ kind of look.” Apple Inc. didn’t return a call seeking comment. Prince signed on instead with Tidal, the music streaming service backed by Jay Z, telling Rolling Stone last year: “Once we have our own resources, we can provide what we need for ourselves. Jay Z spent $100 million of his own money to build his own service. We have to show support for artists who are trying to own things for themselves.” He also told Ebony that artists should seek to control distribution, saying, “Where we finally get into a position to run things - we all should help.” Prince also sent money to the family of Trayvon Martin after the unarmed Florida teen was shot to death by a neighborhood watch volunteer in 2012, the Rev. Al Sharpton said recently on MSNBC. Activist Van Jones said that after Martin’s death, Prince was influential in establishing #YesWeCode, an initiative to get more minorities into tech jobs. Jones recently told USA Today that Prince didn’t exclusively blame racism for the way some people view young blacks in hoodies as thugs instead of potential Facebook founders. Jones recalled Prince saying, “Maybe you civil rights guys haven’t created enough Mark Zuckerbergs.” His black consciousness was also apparent in his best-known records and performances, according to Stephen Hill, president of programing for BET, or Black Entertainment Television.

Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival NEW ORLEANS (AP) — New Orleans’ premier music festival is taking place this Sunday. The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival is seven days of rock, R&B, jazz, gospel, food, art and lectures across 12 stages plus food from across southern Louisiana and art by artists from around the area. After Sunday’s performances, the festival takes a break until Thursday when the music picks up again. - HEADLINERS: The h i g h -p r o f i l e p e r f o rmances Sunday include the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nick Jonas who will close their respective stages. Rapper J. Cole will close the Congo Square Stage. Cole last week was part of a group of performers at the White House to discuss ways to continue President Barack Obama’s “My Brother’s Keeper” ini-

tiative and criminal justice reform. - ONLY ONE RULE: The singer Elle King, wearing a gold dress with her dreadlocked hair tied behind her and her eyes highlighted in gold shadow, looked to the crowd and asked them to raise their hands and repeat after her: “Have a good time, all the time.” It could have been the anthem for the weekend. The weather was amazing as tens of thousands of music fans wrapped up the third day of the seven-day festival. King and her band belted out their fan favorite “Ex’s and Oh’s” to the crowd laying on the grass at the Gentilly Stage. Earlier in the day at the same stage, the sounds of Royal Teeth, a Louisiana indie rock band, flowed over the audience. Dana Pickering had never heard of Royal Teeth but she said that’s part of the joy of Jazz Fest:

“We just know, you come to Jazz Fest and you are going to hear the cream of the crop.” - DON’T COME ON A DIET: From cochon de lait po-boys to pecan catfish meuniere, food is almost as important at the festival as the music. Thousands of people flocked to stands selling food and drinks distinctive to southern Louisiana on Sunday. Katrina Kiernan was eating a soft-shelled crab po-boy the local name for sandwiches. During the weekend she’d already tried the crawfish Monica, the cochon de lait po-boy and the crawfish streudel. “We heard today that it’s like 1,000 calories. Who cares?” she said. “We’re trying it all.” The food is generally from restaurants or catering companies around the New Orleans area and southern Louisiana.

Breathe In, Breathe Out

By David Buch

Focused, deep breaths can aid in coping with stress, sleep deprivation and myriad other minor chronic wellbeing liabilities. Thousands of studies of breath training extol its efficacy in relieving stress, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue and chronic pain. And that’s not the half of it. Besides its therapeutic action, calm breathing is credited with improving several metrics of quality of life, even for those who are already in good health. Countless physicians wax poetically about the virtue of measured breaths. Breathing and its careful practice are central to the cultivation of nearly every other facet of wellbeing. Meditative respiration is indelibly associated with clarity and emotional centeredness. These qualities in turn lead to improved communication, intimacy and creative thinking. Clarity can heighten sensory awareness and issue revitalizing boosts of energy, while emotional centeredness can lend itself to the pursuit of meaning and transcendence. In taking strides to improve wellbeing, we are more drawn to extrinsic measures - eating well, sleeping regularly and exercising daily. It’s easy to overlook the invisible aspects of total health. People are often surprised by evaluations reporting they have low scores in breathing wellness, but according the WELLWVU Wellness Inventory Certification Training program, breathing represents the second lowest wellness score nationwide out of 12 wellness categories.

start, try four second inhales and four second exhales. As you become more comfortable, work towards lengthening. 2. Abdominal Breathing: Lie on the floor and place one hand on your belly. Inhale slowly as if sipping air through a straw, and feel your diaphragm pulling air into your stomach. Notice your abdomen, then ribs and chest expand. Keep drawing in air until you have the sensation of fullness in your lungs, and then slowly exhale. Repeat for several minutes. 3. Alternate Nostril Breathing: Just like equal breathing, the name of this exercise hints at how it’s done. Place your thumb on your right nostril to block it, and take in a deep breath through your left nostril. Then release your right nostril, and block your left nostril with your other thumb. Exhale through your right nostril. Try to keep your breaths even, and breathe with your belly as in the first two exercises. After a few cycles, reverse the order – inhale through the right nostril and exhale through the left. Refer to well.wvu.edu for audio clips of breathing. If you work on these exercises for 5-10 minutes every day, you will be making progress towards increasing your energy and wellbeing. Sponsored by:

WELLWVU offers students resources and tips to use breathing exercises to improve wellbeing. Here are three examples:

1. Equal Breathing: Just as it sounds, equal breathing entails counting as you breathe, and gradually allowing your inhales and exhales to become equal length. To

Mountaineers suffer two losses, finish 0-9 in conference play BY Neel Madhavan Sports Writer @Theneel64

The West Virginia University women’s tennis team struggled again this weekend as it wrapped up the regular season with back-to-back losses to Big 12 rivals. The Mountaineers (6-14, 0-9 Big 12) failed to record a point for the fourth straight match, as they fell to No. 34 TCU 4-0, and to No. 17 Texas Tech, 4-0 “We had a solid start, a lot like we did Friday against TCU,” said WVU head coach Miha Lisac. “We definitely created some opportunities in doubles and battled all the way through the matches. Texas Tech played better than TCU did in the crucial moments, so they didn’t allow us to create many opportunities for ourselves.” Before the Texas Tech match, West Virginia honored senior captain Hailey Barrett for her illustrious four-year career as a Mountaineer. While Barrett’s senior season has been marred by injury woes, she has remained dedicated in her support of her fellow teammates. “I really appreciate all the support from everyone. I’ve

had a really great four years here,” Barrett said to the fans in attendance. Against the Horned Frogs (13-5, 5-3 Big 12), the Mountaineers had a chance to seize momentum and take the doubles point, when the first two matches were split. It came down to the duo of Barrett and sophomore Yvon Martinez at the No. 3 position. The pair fought hard and even forced a tiebreaker, but ultimately fell in the tiebreaker, 7-6 (7-3), conceding the doubles point to TCU. In singles, TCU wrapped things up quickly. Freshman Paula Goetz fell to TCU’s Caroline Wenger in straight sets at the No. 2 position, while TCU’s Aleksandra Zenovka made quick work of sophomore Lyn Yuen Choo, 6-4, 6-0, at the No. 4 position. Sophomore Carolina Lewis fought hard at the No. 3 position, but to no avail as she, too, fell in straight sets to wrap up the match. At No. 1, sophomore Habiba Shaker managed to split the first two sets with TCU’s Seda Arantekin, but the match was called before the third set was completed. West Virginia did not fare much better against the higher ranked Red Raiders (21-4, 6-3 Big 12), as Texas

WVU head coach Miha Lisac talks to the team during a February match against Buffalo. Tech swept all three doubles matches with relative ease. The match was decided by three quick straight set wins by Texas Tech at the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 positions. At Nos. 1 and 2, despite dropping the first set, Shaker and Goetz, respectively, were holding their own against the Red Raid-

ers’ two ITA top-100 players. Shaker was a game away from capturing the second set, while Goetz had a 3-1 lead in the second set before their matches were called. “We didn’t necessarily have a good start in singles,” Lisac said. “What I liked, that I saw from the team, was that we

dug in and created more opportunities for ourselves in the second sets than we did in the first sets. But a lot of the credit goes to Texas Tech; they are one of the top teams in the Big 12 and for good reason. They are very solid all-around and play very sound tennis. Both Habiba and Paula stepped

their game up very well in the second sets of their matches.” With the regular season behind them, the Mountaineers now turn their attention to the Big 12 Championships in Stillwater, Oklahoma that begin on Thursday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Football

First team’s offense aerial attack shines By David Statman Sports Editor @DJStatman77

In his final Gold-Blue Spring Game, Skyler Howard was on his game. Howard completed 18 of 26 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday, repeatedly exploiting a secondary which struggled in the man-toman. Minus a pick-six on his final throw of the day, it was as good a performance as the senior could have hoped for. “It was pretty good,” Howard said. “Obviously I have to eliminate that pick, that’s a bonehead play, but I thought we operated well and understood what was going on. When stuff broke down, we knew where to go with the ball. All the little things we’ve been working on are coming together.” While the West Virginia defense finished with four interceptions – three of which came off mistakes – there were only a few booms in a day that was largely a bust by WVU’s backup quarterbacks. After spending the spring working on footwork and scrambling, Howard had plenty of time to throw in White Sulphur Springs and used his legs well on the occasions he faced pressure. “Skyler obviously knows what’s coming 15 days into spring practice,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “It’s hard to hide everything when you see it every day, but he’s doing a really good job of getting rid of the ball quick.” WVU’s offensive perfor mance showcased the passing potential the Mountaineers flashed in their 43-42 Cactus Bowl win in January, where Howard tossed for more than 500 yards. They did it with a receiver rotation Howard compared to that of Baylor, as he linked up with seven different receivers with six catching touchdowns. Howard did most of his work in the short-to-intermediate range, but WVU’s receivers used their speed and quickness to break free for big gains on their own. On WVU’s longest play of the day, Howard hit sophomore Gary Jennings on a quick slant and got to stand back and watch as Jennings zipped past everyone for a 69-yard touchdown. “Our receivers right now have the confidence of making those plays down-

field,” Howard said. “When the ball’s in the air it’s either theirs or nobody’s. There weren’t any busted coverages that I saw, we were just fitting the ball in there.” And while Howard was busy tearing up the Mountaineer secondary, West Virginia’s backups also flashed some potential. After starting his day with two interceptions, backup William Crest got hot in the second half, ripping through the defense with his feet and hitting freshman Marcus Simms for a touchdown pass. Simms also caught a touchdown from freshman Cody Saunders, who had an impressive performance of his own, throwing two TDs. Saunders to Simms could become a familiar combination in future years. While Simms hasn’t quite learned the finer points of the game yet – he missed much of spring practice after a death in the family – his tantalizing talent was on display. “He has no clue what he’s doing, but it’s actually fun to watch,” Holgorsen said. “He does everything wrong, and all he does is score touchdowns. That’s what he looks like. He’s going to be a contributor for us next year.” After a back-and-forth spring practice period pitting an experienced offense against a rebuilt defense, the WVU offense got the last laugh at the Greenbrier. The defense got its licks in, but Howard’s performance ensured that they got nothing more than a few moments to brag about. “We’ve been going at it, offense versus defense, the whole spring,” said wide receiver Shelton Gibson. “It hasn’t been one team dominating the other, so we just wanted to go out there and get them this time in front of all the cameras.” djstatman@mix.wvu.edu

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Askar Salikhov/The Daily Athenaeum

William Crest runs out of bounds during Saturday’s Gold-Blue Spring Game.

What we saw from the Gold-Blue Game By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

As spring football comes to a close, here’s what we learned from Saturday’s GoldBlue game as the offense beat the defense, 49-46: 1. Cody Saunders delivers in first live game In his first game in front of the Mountaineer faithful, early enrollee Cody Saunders showcased his potential as quarterback. Saunders finished with a six-for-seven outing, throwing for 92 yards and a pair of scores. His poise and collection under pressure became some of his most impressive aspects. He managed to elude the pressure closing in, rolling right and delivering a 25yard touchdown strike to David Sills during his last drive on the field. It was the perfect ending to the spring performance he showcased, and his increased knowledge on the field hasn’t gone unnoticed. He also added a touchdown pass to fellow early enrollee Marcus Simms, delivering the throw after dropping the snap in the backfield. “Over the last week and a half we’ve noticed that things are starting to make sense to him,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “So we repped him more, and the more we repped him, the better it starts looking. He’s a long ways away, but he’s showing potential and why we re-

cruited him.” 2. Pass protection answers questions, looks improved After forcing Skyler Howard into 31 sacks a year ago – tied for the 15th highest total in college football – the pass protection may be silencing the questions leading up to Saturday. William Crest was the only one dodged in the backfield, going down after taking a beating from Sean Walters. It was the lone play that showed a negative glimpse into the pass protection, and Holgorsen also stated it was a targeting call that would get him ejected from a real game. “The offensive line has come together,” Howard said. “They’ve been working their tails off, and it showed today. I could sit back there and really go through my reads and understand what’s going on in the back end to just deliver the ball.” 3. Howard, passing game appear ready to take next step The remnants of January’s electric Cactus Bowl performance have moved their way to the spring. Senior quarterback Skyler Howard and the first team offense shined for much of the afternoon, aside from an interception to Miami transfer Antonio Crawford. Howard looked confident and calm for much of the afternoon, and the results showed. Howard tallied 270 yards and three touchdowns on 18-

of-27 passing – with all three scores in the first half – a big piece in the offense’s 49-46 victory over the defense. They showed that all of the practice has paid off – including Skyler Howard – whose noticed that the quarterback drills have translated to live game action. “We’ve been working scramble drills a lot,” Howard said. “We got to see that in live action and complete some balls, not only with me but I saw Cody Saunders do it, too. All of the little things we’ve been working on are coming together.” 4. Secondary shows flashes, still has a lot of work to do The four interceptions weren’t enough to appease defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. Skyler Howard and the entire WVU offense mustered big plays through the air early on, with Howard tallying each of his three touchdowns in the first half. Although Gibson was impressed by the defense’s bounce back effort in the second half, there’s more work to be done. Shane Commodore’s two interceptions on William Crest excited the crowd, showing his versatility and overall awareness on the field hasn’t gone unnoticed. Antonio Crawford tagged along as one of the other bright spots in the secondary. Crawford’s read on Howard in the second half was one of the best plays of the af-

ternoon. As Howard tried to escape pressure, Crawford intercepted his pass near the line of scrimmage and returned it for a score. “That was a really good play,” Gibson said. “Broke well on the ball. That’s huge. I’m happy with that, but we’re nowhere near being close to being game ready at this point. 5. William Crest is athletic...really athletic Sure, redshirt sophomore William Crest tossed two interceptions on his first two passes. But he delivered, and he delivered exceptionally in the run game. Crest ran for 89 yards on 12 carries – including 72 on the same drive – the highest rushing total on the team. He carved his way through the defense and got better as the game wore on, also finding snaps at running back. Following the two interceptions, Crest went two-ofthree and threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to freshman Marcus Simms. Another one to Simms was called back for pass interference, but his athletic abilities have impressed in the backfield. And it’s something head coach Dana Holgorsen is looking for in his quarterbacks nowadays. “That’s part of our offense, and those guys need to be able to do that,” Holgorsen said. “Whatever we have to do to get first downs, I’m going to do it.” cgjackson@mail.wvu.edu

Baseball

Grove lifts WVU in series finale, avoiding sweep at Oklahoma By Alec Gearty Sports Writer @GEARTY83

Behind Michael Grove’s career day in relief, the West Virginia University baseball team defeated the Oklahoma Sooners, 127, on Sunday afternoon in Norman, Oklahoma. Grove, who came on in relief of starter BJ Myers, struck out a career-high 13 batters and allowed four hits in his 8.1 innings of work. As a result, Grove earned his first win as a Mountaineer. WVU attacked the Sooners (20-20-1) as early as it could as Jackson Cramer’s double scored Darius Hill, and Cramer later scored on an error. As the Mountaineers were riding their big first inning, Myers had a disastrous bottom of the inning. Myers, who pitched eight innings in his last appearance, allowed seven runs in the first inning. The Sooners’ two-out rally was highlighted by a Domenic DeRenzo home run to left, which scored three. Myers was taken out after and replaced by Grove. As Oklahoma held its five-run lead, the Mountaineers slowly chipped away at the deficit. WVU’s Braden Zarbnisky started the comeback, scoring Ray Guerrini to cut the Sooner lead to 7-4.

In the top of the fourth, the Mountaineers added two more runs to go down by one run. Ultimately, after once facing an improbable deficit, the Mountaineers tied the game in the 5th inning. While all of this was taking place, Grove held the Sooners’ offense to a stalemate. The Sooners had outscored the Mountaineers 13-6 in the series, but Grove did not have an issue with the OU batters. In half of Grove’s workload, the Sooners’ batters were retired in order, giving the Mountaineers an opportunity to build their lead, and the run support that Grove didn’t have in his past appearances finally appeared. Following a Kyle Davis RBI, Guerrini launched his fourth HR of the year to centerfield. The Mountaineers did not look back while maintaining their lead in the top of the 7th, as Cole Austin recorded his first Grand Slam of his collegiate career. Austin, who was 2-for-9 entering Sunday, put the exclamation point on the Mountaineer win and brought the team to 12 runs. The home run was Austin’s only hit of the game, but it proved to be what separated the Mountaineers from a series sweep. Guerrini went 2-3 with two RBI’s and Jimmy Ga-

Joel Whetzel/The Daily Athenaeum

Michael Grove pitches in a Backyard Brawl defeat to Pittsburgh earlier this month. lusky recorded a team-high three hits in five at bats. Despite their performance on Sunday, the Mountaineers failed to win their second straight conference series. An overthrown ball in the 10th inning gave the Sooners game

one, and a WVU eighth-inning meltdown sealed the series win for OU. WVU now holds a 6-8 Big 12 record, which is fifth in the conference standings, one less loss than Oklahoma. Three wins separate the

Mountaineers from last place in the conference, and WVU is six wins out of first place. WVU has three conference series left before the end of the regular season; two are against teams above the Mountaineers in the standings.

Before the Mountaineers resume conference play against Baylor on Friday, WVU will once again play Marshall. WVU won the first meeting between the two teams, 5-4, on April 5. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU finishes with Alumni Game Mountaineers conclude spring 2-4 By Roger Turner Sports Writer @RTurner_11

The West Virginia men’s soccer team put an end to the 2016 spring exhibition slate by facing former players in the annual alumni game on Friday. On an overcast Friday evening, WVU men’s soccer alumni returned to the men’s soccer field with sights set on showing the current 16-man roster that experience can beat young talent. However, Marlon LeBlanc’s current squad of Mountaineers proved to be the better team by coming away with a 3-2 defeat of the group of former players. A crowd of Mountaineer soccer fans sitting against the fences of the men’s soccer field was on-hand to spectate the friendly match, despite the wet field surface from rain that came earlier in the day. It was a fun-filled experience for everyone in attendance, including former and current players who had a chance to square off one last time before the Mountaineers move on to prepare for the 2016 regular season.

Nineteen former WVU men’s soccer players represented the alumni team on Friday, including seniors from last season. Uniformly dressed in white jerseys and blue shorts, most alumni players to take the field had at some point played with a teammate on Friday’s squad at some point in their career at WVU. Members of this year’s team had also played against many former players to make this fun-filled contest entertaining throughout. The alumni came out of the gates slow at first, allowing the current team of Mountaineers to score first. LeBlanc’s current squad dominated the first half, netting two goals before halftime to take a commanding lead. Current players continued to hold the alumni in check for most of the game until late in the second half. The spirited contest saw former players come out looking like a totally different team in the second half. Alumni controlled and shared the ball well, as their experience began to outweigh the game of younger players who saw

playing time on the current 16-man roster. After trailing 2-0 in the second half, alumni only allowed one goal and scored two quick goals in the final 10 minutes of the game. The final minutes of the game were the highlight of the match, as LeBlanc’s squad and alumni ramped up the intensity. Former players put up a good fight, but in the end the threegoal deficit was too much to overcome. Current WVU men’s soccer players held on for the victory and shared their locker room celebration with the world on social media. Current players capped off their final game of the spring with a video of team members doing the “running man” dance, adding WVU men’s soccer to the list of college programs participating in the recently viral Running Man Challenge. It’s obvious the WVU men’s soccer team was happy to end the spring with a win and get ready to gear up for the upcoming regular season this fall. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia women’s soccer team concluded its spring slate this weekend, falling 2-0 to Ohio State. The loss puts the Mountaineers at a 2-4 record to end the spring schedule. While a 2-4 record might be considered disdaining during the regular season, the team is happy with its progress against a difficult six-game schedule that included two professional teams. Overall, it was an uneventful game, with both teams managing just three shots on net. Sophomore goalie Michelle Newhouse played all 90 minutes in net, marking the sixth full game she played this spring. The Mo u n t a i n e e r s nearly jumped out to a lead in the 22nd minute, when Nia Gordon received a pass from Amandine PierreLouis and earned a breakaway opportunity. Gordon fired a shot from the right of the box, but the save was made just inside

the post by the Ohio State goalkeeper. The Buckeyes earned their first opportunity six minutes later, receiving a free kick from 30 yards out. Ohio State’s Morgan Wolcott converted on the opportunity, finding the right side of the net with her shot. At the beginning of the second half, freshman defender Bianca St. Georges received the ball at the top of the box on a WVU corner kick. St. Georges rifled what would have been the game-tying shot, but a save was made once again. The teams traded opportunities back and forth over the next 15 minutes, but none were successfully finished until the 56th minute. Ohio State’s Lindsay Agnew found her way through the West Virginia defense and found an open shot from 12 yards out, finding the inside of the far left post to give the Buckeyes a 2-0 lead. As the Mountaineers struggled for two late goals, the team found an opportunity from Michaela Abam. Abam took a long

shot on goal that hit the top crossbar but bounced out of play. The 2-0 margin would stand to mark a loss for West Virginia. The two teams will meet again on Sept. 4 in Morgantown. The team will surely be in much better form, with an entire summer to train. The entrance of several talented freshmen and the return of the team’s star players following the Rio Olympics. “Ultimately, w e’ re happy with the success of the team this spring,” said assistant coach Marisa Kanela. “We had some ups and downs, but you’re going to encounter those moments, and it’s important to push through them. We have a tough schedule next fall, and tough games like today’s will help make us better.” The Mountaineers will open their fall schedule on Aug. 19 against reigning national champions and No.1 ranked Penn State. The team will also face Michigan and Virginia in August prior to the start of the season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Track

WVU delivers one of season’s best performances over weekend By Joel Norman Sports Writer @StorminJNorman6

Despite splitting up for the weekend, the West Virginia track and field team won two categories and had its “best weekend of the spring,” according to head coach Sean Cleary. This past weekend, some Mountaineers traveled to Columbus, Ohio for the Jesse Owens Classic, but the majority departed for the Virginia Challenge in Charlottesville, Virginia for events on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, four Mountaineers recorded careerbest scores. At the Virginia Challenge, sophomore

Madelin Gardner won the pole vault with a careerbest leap of 3.90 meters. With Gardner’s victory, the Mountaineers picked up their third consecutive pole vault category victory. Senior Tori Bertrand won it at the Mason Spring Invitational and at the Bison Outdoor Classic. Sophomore Sara Finfrock also competed in the pole vault and claimed fourth place. The other two careerbest scores on Friday happened at the Virginia Challenge. Senior Savanna Plombon placed 11th in the 10,000-meter run with a time of 34:48.76. Sophomore Megan Yuan ran in

the 3,000-meter run and finished 11th in a time of 10:27.39. On day one of the Jesse Owens Classic, both Mountaineer competitors ran in the 5,000-meter run. Sophomores Corrine Kule and Allie Diehl finished in the top 15. Kule placed ninth in a time of 18:04.40, and Diehl finished two places behind Kule in 11th with a time of 18:30.39. On Sunday, West Virginia added another career-best time. Sophomore Meghan Jean-Baptiste placed 27th in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.61 at the Virginia Challenge. Senior Hannah Stone did not set a career-best score,

but she did win the high jump with a season-best score of 1.74 meters. Three Mountaineers also ran in the 1,500-meter run. Sophomore Millie Paladino got 24th in a time of 4:25.44. Fellow sophomore Amy Cashin followed up Paladino in 30th place in 4:26.60. Junior Brianna Kerekes rounded out the group by finishing 43rd in a time of 4:29.96. During Saturday’s action at the Jesse Owens Classic, freshman Chaqieta Robinson led the group with a season-best time in the 400-meter hurdles. Robinson’s time of 1:03.58 got her 16th place. No matter where his ath-

letes were, head coach Sean Cleary came away excited about the weekend’s results. “This was our best weekend of the spring,” Cleary said. “Coming off of a very nice meet a week ago, I wondered how we might respond. While we still have some holes to fill, I am especially pleased that we continued to build momentum. Jumpers jumped far and high, vaulters cleared bars and runners ran faster. We obviously need to keep improving for us to hit our goals for the season, and I believe we can and will.” West Virginia is taking small but consistent steps toward gaining NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Cham-

pionship qualifiers. Pole vaulters like Stone and Bertrand have already made their case, but several other Mountaineers made their case this weekend. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
