Giuliani sues to block The Standard

by JAKE JARVIS STAFF WRITER @NEWSROOMJAKE

James Giuliani is keeping his promise to do everything in his power to keep The Standard out of Morgantown.

The proposed 866-bed apartment complex developers want to build along the intersection of Wall Street and University Avenue is at the heart of a new lawsuit against the city.

Giuliani, a local landlord many students rent from, was one of the city’s residents most outspoken against the development, vowing at the time to sue the city if it allowed development to continue.

“It’s the last thing I want to do, to sue the city,” Giuliani told city councilors at the time. “But what I can tell from this group is there will be litigation.”

In a suit filed Tuesday, Giuliani asked the Monongalia County Circuit Court to overturn a split decision by

the city’s planning commission to allow The Standard to move forward with development and to remove the commission’s newest member.

Much to the dismay of Giuliani and Dave Biafora, another local landlord, city council voted in February to annul Wall Street. This sacrificed about 2,900 square feet of public land to allow The Standard to build across Wall Street.

Developers promised to give 11,540 square feet of land back to the city after the project’s completion, with a net gain of about 8,000 square feet for public use.

The annulment would only become official pending a review from the Planning Commission and the Board of Zoning Appeals.

Charles McEwuen, owner of Tanner’s Alley Leather, was appointed to the commission on April 12—just two days before its vote on

Thousands of people will come together for a 5k run Saturday morning in celebration of 100 years of the Reserve Officers Training Corps program.

Across the country, ROTC cadets, alumni and local community members will go to their respective meeting locations and start the race at the same time, nationwide.

Due to different time zones across the country, the start times of the race will be adjusted accordingly so everyone starts together. ROTC, in partnership with Junior ROTC, is aiming to set a Guinness World Record for the largest number of runners in a 5k.

“I think it is awesome the ROTC programs across the country are doing (the 5k,)” said Anna Kretzer, a junior Army ROTC cadet at West Virginia University. “If we actually break the record, it will definitely be cool to know that I took part in making history.”

The current record for the largest number of participants in a 5k is 86,549 people, which was a race organized by the Visakhapatnam District Olympic Association in India.

But for WVU’s Army ROTC Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Steven Clark, this race is about more than just setting a new record.

“We are looking to connect Alumni and Cadets as well as the community with our program, the university

and our Cadets – the future leaders of our Army,” Clark said. “A lot has transpired in the 100 years of Army ROTC, but 100 years ago the Cadets who were working to earn their commission became the leaders for the Army.”

Not only is this run meaningful to Clark and the rest of the ROTC community, but it also holds a special place in the hearts of the cadets commissioning as Army officers during the 100th year of the program.

“I think it’s cool that I get commission on the 100year anniversary, and it really puts things into perspective. I’m one of many that benefitted professionally from the program, and there are many historic leaders whose roots began with ROTC,” said Kyle Skaggs, a senior ROTC cadet. “It’s an honor to have something in common with them and an honor to soon be trusted with the lives of America’s sons and daughters.”

ROTC, the largest officer-producing route of the U.S. Army, officially began in 1916 when President Wilson signed the National Defense Act. Today, there are more than 30,000 cadets nationwide, according to the U.S. Army’s Cadet Command.

“The Cadets in today’s Army and Air Force ROTC programs will be the future leaders of our Army and Air Force throughout the next 1 -45 years,” Clark said.

“Who knows, the future Chief of Staff of the Army or Chief of Staff of the Air

Women’s lacrosse team stands up to domestic violence with “Yards for Yeardley” event by tessa iglesias staff writer @dailyathenaeum

One in three women and one in four men will experience relationship violence in their lifetime, according to the National Coalition against Domestic Violence. The One Love Foundation is looking to change these statistics and raise awareness about domestic violence.

The One Love Foundation is an organization founded in 2010 to honor Yeardley Love, a University of Virginia la-

crosse player who was beaten to death by her ex-boyfriend.

Her family and friends created One Love with the mission to raise awareness and educate young adults about relationship violence and help distinguish the difference between love and control.

West Virginia University Women’s lacrosse is working with WELLWVU to bring the One Love Foundation to campus. Together, they will host a 5k run/walk in honor of Love, called Yards for Yeardley.

“Yeardley Love was from the Baltimore area… (One Love) is kind of like an organization that is close to me, and I just thought it would be important to educate others and students on the (domestic violence) issues,” said Carly Brunett, a WVU Women’s Lacrosse player and the campus coordinator for One Love at WVU. Just like Love, Brunett is from Maryland. She has been aware of One Love ever since hearing about Love’s death in 2010. Upon discovering that WVU did not participate in

Yards for Yeardley, Brunett decided to bring One Love to campus herself by becoming the campus coordinator.

“As I dropped Yeardley off in Charlottesville each year, my biggest concern was that she may be injured on the lacrosse field or, even worse, be hurt in a car accident,” said Love’s mother, Sharon Love, on the One Love foundation website. “Relationship violence was never on my radar screen.”

In order to achieve the goal of one million yards for Yeardley, WVU Women’s Lacrosse and WELLWVU are hoping for 188 people to participate in the 5k. The 5k is free and open to all students and participants.

“What we’re doing with this is raising awareness about the foundation and also highlighting the campus resources during the race,” Brunett said.

In order to educate participants, as well as anyone going

through domestic violence, representatives from Title IX, WELLWVU and the Carruth Center will present at the 5k.

Each organization will give out information to help raise awareness about domestic violence and provide resources to students seeking help or counsel.

After the 5k, WELLWVU will host post-race yoga.

Yards for Yeardley will take place at 6:30 p.m. today starting outside the Student Rec Center. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Firms that paid for Clinton speeches have government interests

WASHINGTON (AP)—It’s not just Wall Street banks.

Most companies and groups that paid Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to speak between 2013 and 2015 have lobbied federal agencies in recent years, and more than onethird are government contractors, an Associated Press review has found. Their interests are sprawling and would follow Clinton to the White House should she win election this fall.

The AP’s review of federal records, regulatory filings and correspondence showed that almost all the 82 corporations, trade associations and other groups that paid for or sponsored Clinton’s speeches have actively sought to sway the government - lobbying, bidding for contracts, commenting on federal policy and in some cases contacting State Department officials or Clinton herself during her tenure as secretary of state.

Presidents are not generally bound by many of the ethics and conflict-of-interest regulations that apply to non-elected executive branch officials, although they are subject to laws covering related conduct, such as bribery and illegal gratuities. Clinton’s 94 paid appearances over two years on the speech circuit leave her open to scrutiny over decisions she would make in the White House or influence that may affect the interests of her speech sponsors.

Rival presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders and Republican critics have mocked Clinton over her closed-door talks to banks and investment firms, saying she is too closely aligned to Wall Street to curb its abuses.

Sanders said in a speech in New York that Clinton earned an average of about $225,000 for each speech and goaded her for declining to release transcripts.

“If somebody gets paid $225,000 for a speech, it must be an unbelievably extraordinary speech,” Sanders said at an outdoor rally at Washington Square Park last week in advance of the New York primary. “I kind of think if that $225,000 speech was so extraordinary, she should release the transcripts and share it with all of us.”

Clinton said again Thursday she will release transcripts of her paid speeches to private groups or companies when other political candidates do the same.

She compared such disclosures to the long-standing practice of politicians being

House tries to sort out legislative response to drug abuse WASHINGTON (AP)— More than a month after the Senate acted on legislation to reduce heroin deaths, the House is trying to figure out how to deal with the election-year issue.

Heroin and opioid painkiller abuse is a growing, deadly problem that has become a top political issue in many states. More than 47,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2014 in cities and rural areas alike, more than double the death rate in 2000.

The Senate last month passed a bill 94-1 that would create grants to bolster state and local programs aimed at reducing overdose deaths.

House committees already are considering the bills, and GOP leaders have said they want to vote on a package in May. But it still hasn’t been decided exactly what the package will look like.

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said this week that the House is “right on track” for getting the legislation done. Speaker Paul Ryan has said the chamber will move on the issue soon but has not given a timeline.

“Our goal is to go to conference with the Senate and get a bill to the president’s desk,” Ryan said Thursday.

In both chambers, Republican lawmakers facing tough re-election bids in states most affected by drug abuse have led efforts to get the legislation passed.

Rep. Frank Guinta, vulnerable in his home state of New Hampshire, is pushing the legislation with his state Democratic colleague, Rep. Annie Kuster. New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, also Republicans in tough races, pushed for the Senate bill.

vide no new money for the grants; Republicans said previously approved money could be used and more could be provided when Congress writes next year’s spending bills.

Senate Democrats had attempted to add $600 million to the legislation, but that effort was rejected. In a letter expressing support for the bill’s grants, White House officials had said that unless Congress provides extra money, the bill “would do little to address the epidemic” of drug abuse.

Still, the legislation won wide support from senators of both parties. That bill includes money to train emergency workers to treat drug

abusers, create treatment programs that would be alternatives to imprisonment and finance recovery programs at schools and nonprofit groups. There would be grants for helping veterans and pregnant offenders, and funds for using drugs like naloxone that can reverse opiate overdoses and for local law enforcement efforts.

Senators are pushing the House to move more quickly. Portman says the House should pass the Senate bill and move on the rest of their bills separately.

Giuliani, who was a member of the planning commission more than 10 years ago, has asked during a previous city council meeting to be appointed to fill the commission’s vacancy, but City Manager Jeff Mikorski never acknowledged his request.

City code stipulates two of the nine planning commissioners must be representatives of the city—one from city council and one from the city’s administrative department.

The code allows a designee to represent the council or administrative department on the commission, so long as they are appointed at city council’s first meeting of the year (which would have been Jan. 5 in this case).

editorial

Keeping church and state separate Separation of church and state should be an easy principle to follow, but even in modern times, state governments are still having trouble understanding what this means. As detailed by a story in the Tennessean from Wednesday, the Tennessee House of Representatives failed to override Governor Bill Haslam’s veto of a bill that would have made the Bible the state’s official book.

If the bill passed, Tennessee would have set new precedents in the overlapping of church and state affairs, likely causing destruction for national religious freedom.

Just as Tennessee has a state bird, fish and animal, the Bible was meant to be given special honor as the state book. The designation is purely ceremonial and has no real bearing on the state itself, but the act of making a religious text a state symbol compromises the validity of the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause.

According to a Fox

The Bible as Tennessee’s state book would have had negative implications on the state.

News report from yesterday on the issue, even the bill’s sponsor, Representative Jerry Sexton, claimed the appointment was only meant to be “symbolic.”

However, what symbolism would this truly say about

the state?

Though West Virginia and other states have state symbols some would consider superfluous, such as state insects, fruits and even folk dances, no state has named a state book.

This is probably for a good reason: Books are powerful tools that have multiple interpretations and are able to convey many different messages to their readers. The Bible inarguably contains a number of different inter-

pretations; in fact, theologians have wrestled with its message for centuries.

A Religious Landscape study conducted by the Pew Research Center indicates that though the majority of Tennesseans be-

lieve in Christianity, it is by no means the only religion represented in the state. Assuming the Bible represents all Tennesseans’ views is an act of ignorance, but to go a step further by asserting this belief through the introduction of state legislation is simply unconstitutional.

Luckily, Haslam feels similarly. “Men and women motivated by faith have every right and obligation to bring their belief and commitment to the public debate,” his veto message stated. “However, that is very different from the governmental establishment of religion that our founders warned against and our constitution prohibits.”

This is not to say Christianity should be abandoned or forgotten in modern times, but the way faith manifests itself on Earth should not impede upon the rights of others in any circumstance, especially where the law is concerned.

America was originally regarded as a safe haven for those of differing spiritual beliefs, and attempting to

commentary

More democracy needed in Democratic primary Robby ralston columnist @robbyralstonda

Most people envision presidential primaries as a democratic process, where members of each party vote to decide who will be their candidate in the general election, and everyone has an equal say. However, this is a far cry from how the system actually works, especially for the Democratic Party.

Those who watched the Democratic Iowa Caucus in the beginning of February may remember it was a tight race. The Iowa Caucus is the first state primary for both parties, making it a good test of a candidate’s viability moving forward to other states. That night, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton both received between 45-50 percent of the vote and earned 23 and 21 delegates respectively. From these results, it looked as if the race would be quite close moving forward.

However, according to a Bustle article from Jan. 31, Clinton was already shown leading Sanders nationally by more than 300 delegates before the Iowa polls even opened. The aptly named piece, “Hillary Clinton is already winning the Democratic race even before the Iowa Caucus begins,” claims this was because Clinton had already secured 359 delegates nationally while Sanders only had eight, giving Clinton a huge lead without any votes being counted.

How could a candidate

Using delegates to determine the Democratic party nominees may not be so democratic after all. secure delegates without anyone having voted for them, especially when seemingly in a tight race?

To answer this, one must consider how the Democratic primary functions.

The party’s nominee is usually determined by who has more delegates going into the Democratic convention after every state primary has ended. The

number of delegates a candidate achieves is determined in two ways. First, pledged delegates are distributed based on who won in individual state primaries. For instance, West Virginia has 29 pledged delegates which will be awarded proportionally to how candidates perform in its primary. Thus, if a candidate gets 50 percent of

the vote, they get half of the delegates.

This is how most imagine the nominees get picked, and it is true that roughly 85 percent of all delegates are decided in this way.

However, a recent report from the Guardian titled “Who are the Democratic superdelegates and where did they come from?” explains that more than 700

in.finance.yahoo.com

delegates are not tied to state primaries. These individuals, called “superdelegates,” are mostly party officials and politicians from the present or past and can assign themselves to any candidate they wish regardless of how individuals vote in primary elections.

According to the article, this was put in place in the early 1980s because the

previous, more democratic system “totally cut elected officials and party elders out of the process.” However, this is simply what democracy requires. In allowing current elected officials and senior members of the party to have a larger vote than everyone else, the primary system is giving increased power to establishment figures instead of empowering grassroots movements. That is, it is rejecting democratic values.

This can have a huge effect in elections, as we are currently seeing. According to Associated Press estimates, Clinton has roughly a 750 delegate lead over Sanders, making her seem to have major support across the party.

However, digging into the numbers, she is only winning by 277 pledged delegates, meaning most of her lead comes from superdelegates. This actually suggests that she and Sanders are much closer in grassroots support, though she has more support from the “elected officials and party elders” mentioned above.

Of course, without superdelegates Clinton would still be beating Sanders in the primary, though the race would be much closer. These considerations suggest superdelegates have a fairly large effect on primary elections in a very undemocratic way.

Therefore, if the Democrats truly want to be democratic, they must reexamine this system of choosing nominees. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Friends of Deckers Creek hosting 10th annual Spring Meltdown at Morgantown Brewing Co.

by Corey Elliott A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

For the 10th straight year, Friends of Deckers Creek is hosting Spring Meltdown for this weekend.

Spring Meltdown returns to Morgantown Brewing Company, which offers a plethora of handcrafted beers with a food menu to complement the drinks. Kicking off the Spring Meltdown is The Rob Shipley Band, a versatile acoustic musician that covers many genres.

“Your ears will find soul, R&B, Pop, Funk, Rock, Jazz, Latin and just about everything else in the tonal palette showcased in my live shows,” Shipley said on his Facebook page.

Following The Rob Shipley Band is The Halftime String Band, who plays an upbeat bluegrass genre of music. Both are Morgantown-based bands.

The event’s cause is to raise money through live and silent auctions. There are more than 60 items being auctioned off including an Apple Watch, getaway packages, spa and fitness packages, artwork, name brand clothing, outdoors gear and food baskets.

The Morgantown nonp ro f i t organization, Friends of Deckers Creek, has been around for more than 20 years. It aims to advocate and make Deckers Creek great again.

Since Friends of Deckers Creek is synonymous with nature, the majority

of the auction items are outdoorsy. That’s not to say everything is earthy.

From Patagonia to rafting and kayak tours to massage and yoga baskets, Spring Meltdown will inevitably have options to choose from.

“We raise money to help restore Deckers Creek and provide environmental education through our silent and live auctions,” said Holly Purpura, executive director of Friends of Deckers Creek.

The mission of Friends of Deckers Creek is important to the city of Morgantown and those who want to enjoy the environment. Having a clean water source enhances not only how it affects people reaping the benefits of the creek, but the wildlife that is living in a polluted environment.

Organizers of the event from the nonprofit group are expecting a decent showing.

“In past years, we’ve had upwards of 200 people,” Purpura said.

“We’re hoping for that or possibly better this year.”

The outdoors mean more in a state like West Virginia, where its slogan is “Wild and Wonderful.” Keeping our state and the elements representing our very own slogan is essential.

Friends of Deckers Creek’s Spring Meltdown begins at 5:30 pm and will last until midnight on Saturday, at Morgantown Brewing Company. For more information, visit http://deckerscreek.org/. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Best places to go swimming around Morgantown

by Meg Weissend A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Summer is just around the corner, and in just two weeks West Virginia University students will be done with classes.

With the weather getting warmer, students are itching to take a break from studying to spend time outdoors.

The wild and wonderful West Virginia offers hundreds of places to kick back and relax in the sun. Here are a few of the most popular swimming holes only a short drive away from WVU. Blue Hole If you ask around, chances are you will hear the best place to hangout by the water near Morgantown is Blue Hole. Once a hidden gem in the Preston County woods, Blue Hole has grown to a outdoor college party palace. On hot days, students cool off with a couple of beers and a few hours playing in the secluded paradise. There is a sandy beach with plenty of large boulders for those looking to work on their tan.

Countless warnings caution incoming students to stay in calm areas to avoid drifting downstream.

Wonder Falls WVU students often travel the short journey to Wonder Falls, a waterfall with a clear stream swimming area within a forested valley around Cooper’s Rock. The heavily shaded area has numerous swimming locations downstream from the waterfall.

Many require some climbing to get in, but scouting out this location is worth the small challenges.

Skin Diver magazine even called it “The Little Bahamas of the East Coast” due

to the fact that it’s one of the cleanest and clearest freshwater lakes east of the Mississippi. Massive cliffs tower over the water and offer scenic views reminding one of a caribbean island.

Every year, WVU students make the trek to Summersville Lake and spend the day listening to music on the shore and taking advantage of the perfect photo opportunity.

Borgore bringing unique EDM style to Mainstage

by ALly Litten A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Borgore is coming to Mainstage Morgantown and bringing the party with him. On Friday, the infamous DJ will be joined by other local guests to bring dubstep alive in the heart of Appalachia.

Borgore, other w ise known as Asaf Borger, is an Israeli DJ known for what he describes as “gorestep.” Made of drum patterns and electronic beats, Borgore integrates his background of traditional drumming into dubstep.

Coming into the music scene in 2009, Borgore quickly gained popularity with his catchy originals and remixes. One of his most notable singles is “Decisions”, which features Miley Cyrus on back up vocals. The dubstep producer is also the owner of his own record label, “Buygore Records.” The label has featured artists such as Dead Audio, Ookay, Kennedy Jones, Document One and Rusko.

Borgore is not just known for his music. With thousands of views on his Youtube videos, the artist is known for his high-

end videos portraying his lavish lifestyle of luxury.

Whether it’s on planes, trains or automobiles, Borgore parties all over the world and records it for his thousands of followers.

“I’m really pumped about this show plus I always have a good time at Mainstage (Morgantown).

I have followed Borgore for awhile and I’ve been waiting for a chance to see him live so this show gave me the chance,” said Sara Klein. “I’ve heard he’s insane live so I guess I’ll find out what everyone is talking about Friday night.”

Mainstage Morgantown is not just hosting Borgore this Friday. Their very own promoter, Stephen Kaplan, a junior Strategic Communications major, will be opening as “Steveo”. Although this is the first time Steveo has been an opening act at Mainstage, he has had plenty of experience the past few years DJing at the Liquid Lounge and house parties on campus.

“I like to make the crowd feel good, I like to play for the crowd,” Kaplan said.

“I love seeing everyone’s smiling faces looking up at me in the crowd and making everyone have a great time.”

Opening this past year, Mainstage Morgantown has continued to grow into a reputable music venue, not just in Morgantown, but the East Coast. Many concerts, such as the Lotus concert and Big Gigantic, have drawn crowds in from many surrounding states. As of Wednesday, Borgore is sold out.

With an international artist, these shows go quickly and to a large audience.

Dubstep fans from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and New Jersey will be joining in with Mountaineers in Morgantown so lookout for incoming visitors.

Although general admission tickets are sold out, there are two VIP tables still for sale starting at $500. Each table includes four tickets and two bottles, however, you must be 21 or older to purchase.

After the Borgore show Friday, Mainstage Morgantown will have another large headliner, The New Mastersounds with Moon Hooch, on stage Sunday.

Goodnight sweet Prince: remembering the legend CHANHASSEN, Minn.

(AP) — Prince, one of the most inventive and influential musicians of modern times with hits including “Little Red Corvette,” ‘’Let’s Go Crazy” and “When Doves Cry,” was found dead at his home on Thursday in suburban Minneapolis, according to his publicist. He was 57.

His publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, told The Associated Press that the superstar “died at his home this morning at Paisley Park.” The local sheriff said deputies found Prince unresponsive in an elevator late Thursday morning after being summoned to his home, but that first-responders couldn’t revive him.

No details about what may have caused his death have been released. Prince postponed a concert in Atlanta on April 7, after falling ill with the flu, and he apologized to fans during a makeup concert last week.

President Barack Obama, for whom Prince was a White House guest last year, said he and his wife “joined millions of fans from around the world” in mourning Prince’s sudden death.

“Few artists have influenced the sound and trajectory of popular music more distinctly, or touched quite so many people with their talent,” Obama said in a statement. “ ‘A strong spirit transcends rules,’ Prince once said - and nobody’s spirit was stronger, bolder, or more creative.”

The dazzlingly talented and charismatic singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist drew upon musicians ranging from James Brown to Jimi Hendrix to the Beatles, creating a gender- and genredefying blend of rock, funk and soul.

He broke through in the late 1970s with the hits “Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?” and “I Wanna Be Your Lover,” and soared over the following decade with such albums as “1999” and “Purple Rain.” The title song from “1999,” his funky and flippant anthem about an oncoming nuclear holocaust, includes one of the most quoted refrains of popular culture: “Tonight I’m gonna party like it’s 1999.”

The Minneapolis na-

abc7news.com

Prince, the massively influential musician, died yesterday at the age of 57. tive, born Prince Rogers Nelson, stood just 5 feet, 2 inches - yet he made a powerful visual impact at the dawn of MTV. Prince was a Little Richard for the ‘80s, from his wispy moustache and tall pompadour to his colorful and suggestive outfits, the counterpart to the openly erotic lyrics that made him one of the most sexually daring artists of the era.

But his greatest legacy was as a musician, summoning original and compelling sounds at will, whether playing guitar in a flamboyant style that drew on Jimi Hendrix, switching his vocals from a nasally scream to an erotic falsetto, or turning out album after album of stunningly innovative material. Among his other notable releases: “Sign O’ the Times,” ‘’Graffiti Bridge” and “The Black Album.”

Rarely lacking in confidence, he effortlessly absorbed the music of others and made it sound like Prince, whether the James Brown guitar riff on “Kiss” or the Beatle-esque, psychedelic pop of “Raspberry Beret.”

Mick Jagger was among numerous musicians, actors and other public figures praising the artist, tweeting: “Prince’s talent was limitless. He was one of the most unique

and talented artists of the last 30 years.” Madonna called him a “true visionary,” while Oprah Winfrey tweeted: “Prince the doves really are crying now. Listening to your music. Remember ing you.”

Prince was fiercely protective of his independence, battling his record company over control of his material and even his name. Anxious to get out of his contract with Warner Bros., he identified himself by a key-like symbol with an unpronounceable name. (Journalists called him “TAFKAP,” or The Artist Formerly Known as Prince). Prince also once wrote “slave” on his face in protest of not owning his work and famously fought and then departed Warner, before returning a few years ago.

“What’s happening now is the position that I’ve always wanted to be in,” Prince told The Associated Press in 2014. “I was just trying to get here.”

Prince’s records sold more than 100 million copies. He won seven Grammys and received an Academy Award in 1985 for his music from “Purple Rain,” the movie in which he starred as a young musician. In 2004, Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame, which hailed him as a musical and so-

cial trailblazer.

“He rewrote the rulebook, forging a synthesis of black funk and white rock that served as a blueprint for cutting-edge music in the Eighties,” reads the Hall’s dedication.

“Prince made dance music that rocked and rock music that had a bristling, funky backbone. From the beginning, Prince and his music were androgynous, sly, sexy and provocative.”

Music was in his blood.

Prince’s father played in a jazz band in Minneapolis, under the name “Prince Rogers,” and his mother was the singer. The precocious young Prince taught himself to play the piano at age 7, the guitar at 13 and the drums at 14. But his home life was also troubled. His parents separated when he was 10, and Prince, who ended up with six siblings and half siblings, moved back and forth between the homes of his mother and father.

In 1978, the year he turned 20, Prince debuted with the album “For You.” It was a declaration, if nothing else, that he could do anything: He wrote and sang the material, and served as his own one-man band on guitar, bass, drums, synthesizers, chimes and assorted other instruments.

The album received mixed reviews, but his

second album - called “Prince” - sold more than a million copies and launched his run of hit albums and singles over the next few years.

Prince became not just a star in his own right, but a veritable music factory, whether with such side projects as Vanity and Morris Day and The Time or the songs he wrote for others. Sinead O’Connor had a hit with “Nothing Compares 2 U,” while other covers included Cyndi Lauper’s “When You Were Mine” and the Bangles’ “Manic Monday.”

Prince’s influence even extended to politics, well before Obama’s time. In the mid-1980s, Tipper Gore, wife of then-Sen. Al Gore of Tennessee, heard one of her daughters listening to Prince’s “Darling Nikki.” Horrified by the song’s reference to masturbation, she helped launch an organization dedicated to a labeling system for explicit content, the Parents Music Resource Center. A nationwide debate about censorship soon followed, including congressional testimony from Frank Zappa among others, and the refusal by some record sellers to offer releases deemed in need of advisories.

Prince had been touring and recording right up until his death, releasing

four albums in the last 18 months, including two on the Tidal streaming service last year. He performed in Atlanta last week as part of his “Piano and a Microphone” tour, a strippeddown show that featured a mix of his hits, like “Purple Rain” or “Little Red Corvette,” and some B-sides from his extensive library.

Prince debuted the intimate format at his Paisley Park studios in January, treating fans to a performance that was personal and both playful and emotional at times.

The musician seemed to be shedding his reclusive reputation. He hosted several late-night jam sessions where he serenaded Madonna, celebrated the Minnesota Lynx’s WNBA championship and showcased his latest protege, singer Judith Hill.

Ever surprising, he announced on stage in New York City last month that he was writing his memoir, “The Beautiful Ones,” which was expected to be released in the fall of 2017 by publishing house Spiegel & Grau. A press release about the memoir said Prince would “take readers on an unconventional and poetic journey through his life and creative work,” and include stories about his music, family and the “people, places and ideas that fired his creative imagination.”

A spokeswoman for Spiegel & Grau, Theresa Zoro, said Thursday the publisher had no immediate comment the status of the book.

About 200 fans had gathered by Thursday afternoon outside Paisley Park, Prince’s home and music studio, where his gold records are on the walls and the purple motorcycle he rode in his 1984 breakout movie, “Purple Rain,” is on display. The sprawling white, stone building is surrounded by a fence in Chanhassen, about 20 miles southwest of Minneapolis.

Steven Scott, 32, of Eden Prairie, said he was at Paisley Park last Saturday for Prince’s dance party. He called Prince “a beautiful person” whose message was that people should love one another.

“He brought people together for the right reasons,” Scott said.

Flood of tributes for Queen Elizabeth on her 90th birthday WINDSOR, England (AP) — Fate unexpectedly made her queen. Duty and endurance have made her an institution and an icon.

Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 on Thursday as Britain’s oldest and longestreigning monarch, drawing crowds of well-wishers and floods of tributes to the stamina and service of a woman who can claim to have given her name to the age.

Britain is living, Prime Minister David Cameron said, in the “modern Elizabethan Era.” The queen usually spends her birthday privately, with most of the pomp and ceremony reserved for an official birthday that’s marked in June. But Thursday’s milestone brought an outpouring of public goodwill.

Thousands of fans greeted the queen on a tightly choreographed walkabout near her Windsor Castle home, while elsewhere her government and subjects held gun salutes, fireworks and speeches in Parliament, and televised retrospectives offered scenes from a royal life that has stretched from the Roaring ‘20s to the Internet age.

“Her Majesty has been steadfast - a rock of strength for our nation, for our Commonwealth and on many occasions for the whole world,” Cameron said as he led tributes in the House of Commons.

He praised the monarch’s “unshakable sense of duty,” pointing out that she had provided counsel to 12 British prime ministers and met a quarter of all the U.S. presidents since Independence.

Her record is all the more remarkable because she was not born to be queen.

When Princess Elizabeth was born on April 21, 1926, her father was a younger son of king and not expected to reign. His older brother took the throne in 1936 as Edward VIII - but abdicated the same year to marry his divorced American lover, Wallis Simpson.

Elizabeth’s father became King George VI and, at 10, she became heir to the throne. When she was 21 - almost five years before she became queen she promised the people of Britain and the Commonwealth that “my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service.”

She kept the promise, and it has struck a chord with people in Britain and around the world.

“She’s such an icon and a real role model for the children of today. And I think everybody should respect her for all the years that she’s given for her country,” said Donna Werner, an American tourist from New Fairfield, Connecticut, who came to greet the queen in Windsor, just west of London.

Thousands lined the streets of the town carrying cakes, cards, balloons and Union Jack flags. The band of the Coldstream Guards played “Happy Birthday” and royal fans snapped cellphone photos as the queen, clad in pale green, greeted local dignitaries, townspeople and tourists.

By her side was 94-yearold Prince Philip, her husband of 69 years, with whom she has four children, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren Elsewhere, artillery companies fired gun salutes from sites including Hyde Park and the Tower of Lon-

don, the bells of Westminster Abbey rang out in celebration and the Parliament building was being lit in the red, white and blue of the Union Jack.

There was even a tea party aboard Royal Navy flagship HMS Ocean, whose crew stood in formation to spell out “EIIR 90” Elizabeth II Regina, her official monogram - on the flight deck.

In the evening, the queen was lighting the first in a chain of 1,000 commemorative beacons to blaze across Britain and around the world, before attending a private family party at the castle.

The BBC is showing a documentary that includes rare home-movie footage of the queen as a child in the 1930s and a young mother in the 1950s. In the documentary, Prince Charles watches a clip of the moment a man fired blanks while the queen was riding by in 1981, startling her horse. The prince notes that his mother is “made of strong stuff.”

The 67-year-old heir to the throne also recorded a tribute to his mother for broadcast on the BBC World Service. He recited a passage from William Shakespeare’s “Henry VIII” about the birth of the monarch’s predecessor, Queen Elizabeth I: “She shall be, to the happiness of England, An aged princess; many days shall see her, And yet no day without a deed to crown it.”

The passage was apt.

The first Elizabeth reigned for decades and brought stability to a fractured nation. Elizabeth II has also become a reassuring presence at home and an em-

Queen Elizabeth’s 90th birthday was commemorated with a portrait of her with members of her family. blem of Britain abroad- it’s no surprise she appeared at the opening of the 2012 London Olympics alongside another icon, James Bond.

She has weathered tough years when the divorces of three of her children tarnished the monarchy. And she came back from the death of Princess Diana in a 1997 car crash, when the royal family was criticized as being out of touch with the public’s grief.

Her popular grandchildren have helped bolster the family fortunes.

Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011 was a 21st-century mashup of traditional monarchy and modern celebrity that brought widespread popular celebration.

Their two children - Prince George, who is almost 3, and 11-month-old Princess Charlotte - are likely the world’s most famous toddlers.

The world’s media loves bachelor ex-soldier Prince Harry, who, like his brother, has thrown his weight behind numerous charities.

The queen will receive more birthday greetings on Friday, when she hosts U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama for lunch at Windsor Castle.

And there is more (much more) to come.

For four nights next month there will be a musical pageant in Windsor, involving 900 horses and some 1,500 actors, dancers and musicians, celebrating

the queen’s nine decades.

On June 11 comes the monarch’s “official” birthday, traditionally marked by the Trooping the Color military parade. This year there will also be a service at St. Paul’s Cathedral and a huge street party in the Mall outside Buckingham Palace for members of charities the queen supports. The government has even given pubs permission to stay open later on June 10 and 11, until 1 a.m. instead of the standard 11 p.m.

Not everyone in Britain has succumbed to royalmania. The anti-monarchist group Republic published a resolutely undeferential message headed “Happy Birthday Mrs. Windsor.”

“A long life is no reason for a long reign,” it said.

CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER

McGregor could gain power in UFC It’s been a long week for UFC president Dana White.

What was expected to be another typical week leading into UFC 200, featuring a much-anticipated Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz rematch, has turned into a nightmare for White.

It started with one tweet.

On Tuesday afternoon, McGregor, known for his social media antics and self-proclaimed “savagery”, tweeted he was retiring young and thanked fans for the constant support. That tweet took the fighting world by storm, being shared 158,000 times within 46 hours, the most retweeted UFC-related post ever.

White suddenly had to deal with the possibility of the face (and largest source of income) of his multi-hundred-million dollar organization leaving. As the story unfolded, we learned the decision to retire came as a result of White trying to force McGregor to fly to Vegas for mandatory promotional events. McGregor refused to take time away from training, and in turn, simply decided to announce his retirement.

McGregor’s retirement left White with the difficult decision every president of a major sports organization has to make: whether to be seen as a forceful leader, or give in to an athlete’s demands in order to save a major source of revenue and fandom.

In his scramble to maintain control of the UFC, White announced Wednesday night that McGregor would forfeit his welterweight title belt and will not fight in UFC 200 regardless of whether or not he is truly retiring.

McGregor again returned to the limelight Thursday morning, posting an expletive-riddled statement via Facebook that was shared more than 136,000 times within an hour. In the post, McGregor told fans he attempted to dedicate the entire preparation cycle to training to defeat Diaz. McGregor said White continually scheduled appearances and promotional shoots for McGregor, bringing millions into White and the UFC but taking away from McGregor’s rigorous training schedule. The message of the descriptive rant was that McGregor is fighting in UFC 200 (although White says he isn’t).

The post indicates what we all suspected: McGregor is in control. This is a fight that will bring tens of millions of dollars in revenue into the UFC, likely the largest take in mixed martial arts. Not only should revenue be considered, but also the viewership interested in this fight, considering the ever-expanding audience of the sport.

McGregor, who is worth $14 million, has taken control of the $440 million industry from White’s hands.

It’s White’s turn to decide whether he wants the savage 27-year-old McGregor in the driver’s seat, or wants to lose the estimated $10 million revenue and 1.5 million viewers predicted for UFC 200 before this debacle.

It’s decision time for Dana White. The UFC is now in the hands of Conor McGregor.

The proud Irishman, who spent years in poverty before catching a break, has more money than he knows what to do with. He has already experienced the pinnacle of the sports world and boasts a title belt. He has nothing to gain from a fight outside his weight class except personal retribution for his previous loss.

Ironically, the situation that began with a dispute over promotional appearances has brought more exposure to the sport than any other event so far in 2016. For the time being, the choice is in the hands of the UFC president, but the longer he takes to respond, the more power he hands over to McGregor. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

KINGS OF SPRING

GARRETT YURISKO/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU defensive coordinator Tony Gibson talks to his players at a spring practice two weeks ago.

What to watch for at tomorrow’s Blue-Gold Spring Game

By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

It’s another time for Mountaineer players to showcase why they’re ready, or not ready, to perform at a high-level in the coming season. Here are five things to keep an eye on during Saturday’s game at The Greenbrier: 1. How far has the passing game come along?

Three months removed from a valiant effort in the Cactus Bowl, senior quarterback Skyler Howard and the Mountaineers receiving corps appear ready to showcase how much they’ve developed during the spring.

Shelton Gibson has shown his big-play potential all spring, consistently running crisp deep routes every time we see him at Saturday spring practices.

Daikiel Shorts is always reliable and Ka’Ruan White has fed off his monstrous bowl performance.

Howard tossed for 3,145 yards and 26 touchdowns as a junior, battling inconsistency issues in parts of the Big 12 slate. But if the 532yard bowl game is any indication of what’s to come, the air attack could be in store for a big 2016 campaign.

“It really just signified and showed ourselves what we could do and we need

to do that every day,” Howard said. “It raised expectations. Since we know we can do it, we expect to do it every day.”

2. Does Chris Chugunov appear to be a capable option down the road at QB? Head coach Dana Holgorsen has stated how impressed he is with Chris Chugunov’s arm talent, and the results have shown at spring practice.

Chugunov, a righty, rolled left last Saturday, tossing a gem to Gary Jennings for a touchdown strike. He’s the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart behind Skyler Howard, and he could be the future at the position.

However, Will Grier is transferring from Florida and has to sit out in 2016 due to transfer rules and the first six games of 2017 to conclude his one-year suspension. If Chugunov can continue developing, he could become the next full time WVU quarterback if Grier’s suspension isn’t appealed.

Of course, he has to prove to coaches that he’s the reliable option.

A strong showing at Saturday’s Spring Game will help the cause, and starting quarterback Skyler Howard has been impressed by his developments.

“He’s really coming along as a game manager,” How-

ard said. “He’s understanding checks, when to check out of things, when to check into things. His accuracy has always been good.

When he gets his mentality down when to make those checks, then he can deliver the ball.”

3. How do the linebackers look?

All three starters at linebacker from last year are gone and preparing for the professional level, bringing in an entirely new unit for 2016.

Justin Arndt, Al-Rasheed Benton and Sean Walters each headline the three starting linebacker spots.

Although they don’t bring in a wealth of starting experience, they’ve each grasped a knowledge of the system the past couple seasons.

They ‘bring the fire’ and learned a lot from the previous group. Benton has emerged into a leader and believes this unit is capable of surprising a lot of people.

The experience as the second and third teamers has brought the bunch together, including times in the past when they played on special teams.

“We have a lot of chemistry together,” Benton said.

“We played on the second team and the third team together for a number of years. We know each oth-

er’s tendencies and we know how each other likes to play. It allows us to work off each other in the system.

It’s been an advantage for us this spring.”

4. Does anyone step up at cornerback?

Terrell Chestnut has graduated and Daryl Worley cut his college career a year early in order to pursue his NFL dreams. That leaves two big voids left at a cornerback spot that consistently faces potent passing attacks on a weekly basis in the Big 12.

Newly hired cornerbacks coach Blue Adams doesn’t appear concerned. Until someone proves to be an every down starter, it’s going to be a position by committee.

Jordan Adams, Antonio Crawford, Rasul Douglas and Nana Kyeremeh have each shown flashes at the position. Except none have emerged as the No. 1 player, but coaches aren’t concerned. Instead, they love how the competition has exuded the best from everyone.

“Guys are constantly raising the bar, getting us better,” Blue Adams said. “Until that last guy is where you want from a production skillset standpoint, those guys will continue to leapfrog each other until we become great.”

5. Has the pass protection improved?

Offensive line coach Ron Crook will be the first one to admit the pass protection needs to improve.

Skyler Howard was often pressured in the pocket and was sacked 31 times, tied for the 15th highest total in the country last season. An experienced offensive line returns– highlighted by AllBig 12 performer Tyler Orlosky – looking to make big strides before the fall.

The updated spring depth chart states the five starters averaged 10 starts per game last year, with Orlosky and Michigan transfer Kyle Bosch starting all 13. Yodny Cajuste, Adam Pankey and Marcell Lazard round out the line, bringing in 24 starts a year ago.

They know it needs to change. They know Skyler Howard needs more time in the pocket to keep the offense fluid.

Now it’s time to see if the increased devotion in the film room pays off.

“We’ve spent a lot of time this spring focusing on pass protection,” Crook said. “I don’t think I’m letting the cat out of the bag that’s something we need to improve. The guys have taken it to heart. We’re working hard on it everyday.” cgjackson@mail.wvu.edu

WVU hopes road trip will do it good at Oklahoma

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

After emerging from a crucial nine-game homestand with a losing record, the West Virginia University baseball team is hitting the road again.

The Mountaineers (19-16, 5-6 Big 12) will play outside the state of West Virginia for the first time in nearly a month this weekend, as they take flight to Norman, Oklahoma, to face the Oklahoma Sooners (18-19-1, 4-8).

West Virginia has done relatively well on the road, earning a record of 10-7 away from the confines of Monongalia County Ballpark. As the end of the semester approaches, head coach Randy Mazey hopes his team can pick it up without having to think about exams or other distractions.

“We seem to play pretty well on the road,” Mazey said. “When we get away from Morgantown and classes and girlfriends and distractions and just focus on baseball, it seems like we play pretty well.”

team has continued its slide from Big 12 prominence.

The Sooners last reached the NCAA Tournament in 2013, but have since missed out on postseason play – last year’s team finished with a winning record in the Big 12, but it wasn’t enough to get the Sooners to the tournament.

So far in 2016, the Sooners are just 4-8 in Big 12 play, ranking them a game and a place behind West

Virginia in the conference standings. Oklahoma heads into the weekend on a fourgame losing streak, after being swept by TCU last weekend and losing a midweek rivalry game with Oklahoma State.

The Sooners have been limited by one of the most anemic offenses in the Big 12 Conference. Their 184 runs is the lowest total of any Big 12 team, and their .252 average is ahead of only Oklahoma State. Junior infielder Sheldon Neuse (.378, six home runs, 26 RBIs), who moonlights as one of the team’s top relievers, is the only Sooner to hit above .285 this season.

The projected starting pitching matchups for this weekend’s series are WVU’s Chad Donato (1-3, 3.86 ERA) against Oklahoma’s Chris Andritsos (4-3, 3.38 ERA) at 7 p.m. on Friday, Ross Vance (4-3, 5.44 ERA) versus Jake Elliott (0-1, 4.66 ERA) at 1 p.m. on Saturday and BJ Myers (4-3, 3.12 ERA) taking on a yet-to-beannounced pitcher at 1 p.m. on Sunday. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

WVU finishes spring against Ohio State

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

Bianca St. Georges defends in an NCAA Tournament match against Duquesne in November.

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER @WHUTTHEHICKS

With five games already completed this spring, the WVU women’s soccer team has one more game before summer preparation begins. The Mountaineers will play host to Ohio State on Saturday afternoon at Dreamswork Field.

The game will be even more essential for the Mountaineers following Tuesday’s schedule announcement. The 2016 fall schedule features one of the most difficult nonconference schedules in the country, including seven teams who qualified for the NCAA Tournament last season.

The No. 21 Buckeyes are on the 2016 slate, coming to Morgantown on Sunday, Sept. 4 to take a swing

at the Mountaineers’ 21game unbeaten streak at Dick Dlesk Stadium.

Saturday’s exhibition will be a great assessment for the team heading into the season, considering the Buckeyes are one of six top-40 teams West Virginia will face in the first month of the season. Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence will still be absent, training with Team Canada for the Olympics.

With the release of the schedule on Tuesday, it was made evident that there is a possibility the two stars will miss the season opener against No.1 Penn State. The gold medal match of the 2016 Summer Olympics will take place on Friday, Aug. 19. That same night, the Mountaineers will be facing the 2015 national champion Nittany Lions in State College.

This match will be a great way for Nikki IzzoBrown’s team to prepare for a nationally-ranked team without its two top stars. A win against the Buckeyes would also give the Mountaineers a 3-3 record to finish the spring slate.

In last year’s meeting, West Virginia defeated Ohio State 2-0 in Columbus. The last 15 minutes of the game brought two late goals by Buchanan and Kailey Utley. The team will look for production elsewhere on Saturday, with Buchanan absent and Utley graduating next month.

The Mountaineers will see nearly an identical team from last year, with the Buckeyes only graduating three seniors. Senior forward Nichelle Prince, a native of Ajax, Ontario, will be away, practicing with

Askar Salikhov/The Daily Athenaeum

Buchanan and Lawrence for Team Canada. Prince competed with the West Virginia duo in last year’s CONCACAF Cup and had the assist on the final goal in the team’s 3-1 win over Costa Rica to clinch an Olympic berth.

Ohio State went 13-7-3 last season, posting a 5-4-2 record in the difficult Big Ten Conference. The Buckeyes fell 4-0 to conference foe Penn State in the Sweet 16. The Nittany Lions would go on to defeat West Virginia in the next round to advance and eventually win the national title.

The Mountaineers will host Ohio State at 1 p.m. on Saturday in Morgantown at the team’s practice facility, Dreamswork Field. While seating will be limited, fans are encouraged to attend. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU head coach Miha Lisac talks to Hailey Barrett and Habiba Shaker during a February match against Buffalo.

BY NEEL MADHAVAN SPORTS WRITER @THENEEL64

The West Virginia University women’s tennis team is set to wrap up the regular season this weekend with two Big 12 Conference matches against No. 34 TCU (12-5, 4-3 Big 12) and No. 17 Texas Tech (19-4, 4-3 Big 12).

“We need to be more consistent and more mature in certain ways, in the way we compete, and so on,” said WVU head coach Miha Lisac. “Every time we step on the court, there’s an opportunity to add to that goal. That’s the overall expectation of what we want to see from each and every single player and from the team overall when we go into matches.

That doesn’t depend at all as far as who we compete against. For us to go into the future, that consistent approach has to be there week in and week out. As the players are learning about the Big 12 Conference, there are no weeks off.”

The Mountaineers (612, 0-7 Big 12) will honor

senior captain Hailey Barrett with a Senior Day ceremony before the Texas Tech match on Sunday.

Despite missing most of conference play with a stress fracture injury in her foot, Barrett returned to the lineup last week.

Due to lack of match fitness, the team’s former No. 1 player was eased back into the lineup at the No. 3 doubles position, where she partnered with sophomore Yvon Martinez.

Barring an injury setback during practice, Barrett will likely play in both matches this weekend.

Leading the way for West Virginia, Habiba Shaker lookd to finish off her stellar sophomore campaign with a strong performance this weekend. Also, freshman Paula Goetz will look to improve on her respectable 7-8 singles record.

Some players like sophomores Carolina Lewis and Lyn Yuen Choo have struggled as of late, but both look to end the regular season in a positive fashion.

“We’ve been kind of in this predicament for a while,” Lisac said. “It’s not

necessarily about a given week’s win or loss. Obviously, every time when we step on the court we’re going to go and prepare to win. That’s our goal and it always will be. It’s about getting better and it’s about making progress as well, kind of what we’ve been talking about from the beginning.”

The Horned Frogs come into the matchup having dropped three of their last four matches. TCU head coach Lee Taylor Walker has shuffled his team’s lineup this year even more than West Virginia has.

TCU has used five different players at the No. 2 singles position, four different players at No. 3, four at No. 4 and four at No. 5.

That lack of stability makes TCU tough to plan for.

The Red Raiders have had quite the season, defeating nine teams ranked in the ITA Top 100 rankings. Texas Tech has a more talented lineup than TCU does, boasting two players in the ITA Top 100 rankings, No. 96 Gabriela Talaba and No. 99 Sarah Dvorak.

“Those teams now are

Askar Salikhov/The Daily Athenaeum

gearing up and getting ready for the conference tournament,” Lisac said. “I think, considering how the season has gone, TCU and Texas Tech will be in contention for the Big 12 title.

They’re going to be somewhere close to their best at this point in the season. So that’s what we expect from them.”

The match against TCU is set to begin at 4 p.m. today at the Mountaineer Tennis Courts behind the Coliseum, while Sunday’s match against the Red Raiders will start at 10 a.m., also at the Mountaineer Tennis Courts. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Men’s Soccer

West Virginia players reunite, close spring with Alumni Game

Askar Salikhov/The Daily Athenaeum

Tucker Stephenson centers the ball in an October win over Western Michigan.

By Roger Turner Sports Writer @RTurner_11

After playing four exhibition contests thus far in the month of April, the West Virginia men’s soccer team closes out the five-game spring slate today against former players in the annual alumni game.

The 16-member Mountaineer men’s soccer team made it through its last week of training under clear skies and 70-degree weather in Morgantown.

Marlon LeBlanc’s team has compiled a 2-1-1 record in

April and looks to close out the spring with another win. However, the final exhibition match versus WVU men’s soccer alumni will no doubt be bittersweet.

Former WVU players make a return to the field for Friday’s annual alumni game with the obvious upper hand in experience. Although playing against seasoned veterans, the current roster of Mountaineers has an all-around advantage when looking at the match from a team perspective.

After all, LeBlanc’s current 16 players have been playing as one since the begin-

ning of April.

The Mountaineers began the spring securing two road wins against rival Pitt and VCU in back-to-back weekends. Sophomore midfielder Joey Piatczyc, who scored the game-winning goal versus Pitt and netted the only goal for the Mountaineers against VCU, headed the hot start for WVU. Regarded as one of the nation’s top returning midfielders, Piatczyc will represent his squad of current players as the Abel “Shadow” Sebele Players’ Player of the Year Award se-

lection when they take the field Friday.

Along with Piatczyc, junior forward Felix Angerer has already begun to solidify his role as a consistent scorer for this year’s team. Hailing from Bayreuth, Germany, Angerer is the only other current Mountaineer player to score more than one goal this spring, which is partially in credit to his commanding 6-foot-4 frame.

After posting no goals in the 2015 season, Angerer has recorded goals against opponents Pitt and Bucknell during the spring, and

appears to be an up-andcoming senior making vast improvements from a season ago.

Also stepping up for WVU in April has been goalkeepers Stephen Banick and Konrad Dziedic.

Both Banick and Dziedic have received significant playtime in all four matches, so expect to see both get a chance to defend the net on Friday.

Banick held VCU to a shutout on April 9 after coming into the spring not having played in a game for the Mountaineers. Dziedic also made his debut this spring

and will likely play behind Banick.

Admission to this year’s men’s soccer alumni game will be free to all, but fans are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets.

This year’s squad of 16 will go head-to-head with former players and teammates on the men’s soccer practice field at 7 p.m..

Tonight’s match is the final game of the spring for the Mountaineers. The next time West Virginia steps on the field will be this fall for the 2016 season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

For the second time this season, West Virginia will compete in two events in as many days.

The Mountaineer track and field team will compete in the Jesse Owens Classic and the Virginia Challenge this weekend. Both events begin on Friday and will end on Saturday.

The Virginia Challenge comes first, where West Virginia will compete against 48 other teams. Events begin at 10 a.m. on Friday and at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

The Jesse Owens Classic begins at 2 p.m. on Friday with competition on Saturday starting at 10 a.m. The event takes place in Columbus, Ohio. The last time the Mountaineers traveled to the Buckeye State was for the Miami Duals on April 2, only for the event to be cancelled because of inclement weather.

That same weekend was the last time West Virginia competed in multiple events in the same weekend. The Mountaineers competed in the Texas

Relays and Stanford Invitational on April 1. Sophomore Shamoya McNeil led West Virginia at the Relays by finishing fifth in the triple jump with a leap of 12.76 meters. At Stanford, fellow sophomore Jillian Forsey had the best result, finishing 14th in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 16:05.89.

The Mountaineers most recently competed at the Bison Outdoor Classic last weekend. Senior Tori Bertrand won her second consecutive pole vault event in as many weeks with a 3.75-meter mark. Sophomore Bria Welker also finished in the top five of her event. She got fifth place in the 400-meter dash in a time of 56.61.

Several unattached runners were also in action and finished strong. Freshman Olivia Hill won the 3,000-meter run in a time of 10:01.90. Fellow freshman Candace Jones finished first in her section in the 800-meter run. Her time of 2:10.96 got her the second best score of the entire group. Sophomore Allie Diehl also competed in the 5,000 meter run, and her career-best time of 18:06.90

got her 21st place.

Head coach Sean Cleary liked what he saw last weekend from the entire group.

“We had a very good weekend,” Cleary said in an interview with WVUsports. com. “The weather was perfect, and with that came the many performances we were looking for. The vast majority of our group had either lifetime or seasonbest marks. If we can get a few more weekends like this, we will be setting ourselves up for a very successful season.”

Cleary is stressing “(taking) care of business” for the remainder of the regular season.

“Time management is imperative as we draw closer to the postseason and final exams,” Cleary said. “Only those that can manage both aspects of their lives will be standing when the last important meet arrives.”

Now, West Virginia splits up for two different events in two different states. Cleary will divide the team up to where he believes his athletes will best succeed as the regular season winds down. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
