SGA proclaims Feb. 2 ‘Dub Gee Day’ by caity coyne city editor @caitycoyne

At its weekly meeting, the West Virginia University Student Government Association officially proclaimed Feb. 2 as “Dub Gee Day.” The proclamation came in honor of WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s birthday on the same date, and SGA is urging students to celebrate the day by tweeting their favorite picture with Gee on Feb. 2 with “#DubGeeDay.” “He has shown that we mean a lot to him, and we want to do something to show that he means a lot

to us as well,” said Student Body President George Capel. “So this is kind of our idea of saying thanks and happy birthday.”

Also at Wednesday’s meeting, the Board of Governors unanimously approved two executive appointments within SGA. Liz Barnhart, a mining engineering student and former SGA press secretary, was appointed as communications director for the organization. Barnhart was unable to attend the meeting.

Shannon Redmon, former Big 12 liaison for SGA, will now serve as the director of student organizations.

WELLWVU movement promotes healthy eating by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health at West Virginia University, is using the eatWELL campaign, “FREG” to educate students on how to treat their bodies in order to live the healthiest life possible.

EatWELL, a component of WELLWVU focuses on consuming at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. It is a part of the overall liveWELL campaign, which uses educational programs to encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors among WVU students and faculty.

“We want students to understand the importance of eating fruits and vegetables,” said Shannon Foster, health education specialist for WELLWVU. “We want them (the students) to consider how eating can affect their overall well-being.”

According to Foster, there are many ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into an individual’s everyday diet. Not only does she think it is easy to do, but she also thinks it’s a necessity given students’ hectic lifestyles.

Foster said eating enough fruits and vegetables is es-

pecially important for students, who need to optimize their brain and body functions for work, school and extra-curricular activities.

According to WELLWVU’s spring 2014 data, only 6.2 percent of students were eating five or more fruits and vegetables per day. According to Foster, WELLWVU wants to increase this percentage, making WVU a campus full of both physically and mentally healthy students.

WELLWVU’s Student Wellness Ambassador Team teaches students how easy it can be to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables through the use of cooking classes, FREG days and smoothie workshops.

Foster said incorporating fruits and vegetables into smoothies or trying new types of salads are excellent ways to ensure consumption of bare minimum five fruits and vegetables each day.

According to Olivia Panaski, a junior accounting and information systems student at WVU, eating healthy is hard for both lower and upperclassman.

Panaski said, in her opinion, there aren’t many healthy options on the

Monongalia County Commissioner Tom Bloom appeared at Wednesday’s meeting, sharing his thoughts on the irresponsible behavior of some students over last weekend’s snow days.

Some students and community members lit street fires, and viral images and videos spread with students chanting, “Burn the city down!” in the background, Bloom said.

“I only hope we can work together on stopping these few effing idiots,” Bloom said. “It is now time for you, as leaders, to take action and stand up for a majority of the

students.”

Bloom said he felt responsible for some of the actions, as he was one of the county commissioners who stood adamantly against a recommendation that proposed closing down the bars, liquor stores and shops that sell beer during the snow storm.

“I only wish the students involved understood the consequences of their actions,” Bloom said. “However, I look forward to working with (SGA) and coming up with any ideas to stop this in the future.”

Capel agreed with Bloom’s statements, calling the weekend’s activities a lesson for

all on campus to actively stand up to bad behavior.

“I think it’s all of our responsibility to make sure our fellow students are acting according to how we believe our school should be viewed,” Capel said. “It’s unfortunate what happened, but it’s a learning experience for all of us.”

Also approved at Wednesday’s meeting: - A $1,022.44 grant for the WVU chapter of Society of Women Engineers. The grant money will go toward 16 members of the organization attending a conference in Cincinnati. The grant was unanimously approved, with

Governor Madison Thompson abstaining since she’s a member of the organization.

- A $950 grant for the WVU College Republicans to send 10 of its members to a national convention in Harbor, Maryland. The grant money will go toward lodging for one night for each of the hotel rooms reserved. The grant was approved unanimously, with Governor Blake Humphrey abstaining since he had a “vested interest” in the organization and saw it as a conflict of interest.

- A $500 grant for the WVU Relay for Life organization

‘American Pain’ WVU professor John Temple nominated for Edgar Award by tessa iglesias correspondent @dailyathenaeum

A

West Virginia University professor has been nominated for the prestigious Edgar Award.

The award, named after Edgar Allen Poe, is presented each spring to honor the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction, television, film and theatre published or produced in the previous year.

John Temple, a Reed College of Media associate professor, is the author of nonfiction book, “American Pain.” The Mystery Writers Association has nominated “American Pain” for an Edgar in the category of Best Fact Crime Book.

“I’ve been doing this a long time now, and I’ve never really had this kind of attention paid to one of my books or one of my articles,” Temple said. “I’m still sort of wading through it and seeing what’s going on, but it’s very hectic.”

“American Pain” is the true story of a Florida-based chain of pain clinics and the twin brothers who organized an illegal painkiller distribution scheme, making millions of dollars and giving rise to a new drug industry that tipped the current opioid crisis.

SGA hosts candlelit vigil to honor W.Va. Reed College donates native killed in Morgantown hit and run to Children’s Hospital in ‘Pillowcase Palooza by jamie mason staff writer @dailyathenaeum

by kayla asbury

West Virginia University and University of Mississippi students had something in common last night.

Students joined hands in remembrance of Ole Miss student Carli Sears at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday night in front of the Mountainlair.

The vigil was held in unison with the University of Mississippi’s ceremony.

Sears, who was killed in a hit and run accident in Morgantown more than a week ago, is being laid to rest Friday in Charleston, West Virginia.

“She was just so funny and bubbly. She was just the most free-spirited person ever,” said Charlie Lucente, a junior dental hygiene student. “She could make anything bad into something good and always made everyone feel great about themselves.”

WVU’s Student Government Association organized this event once they realized how many WVU students were affected by Sears’ death.

“We thought as though it happened on our campus and there were so many students from that area (George Washington High School) who knew Carli

The West Virginia University Reed College of Media hosted a volunteer project Wednesday night to make pillowcases and Valentine’s Day cards for patients at the WVU Children’s Hospital.

The project was held from 5-8 p.m. in the Media Innovation Center located on the fourth floor of Evansdale Crossing.

The volunteer work was a collaboration between the Student Ambassadors program and Scholars program within the Reed College.

Kayla Poling, an academic adviser at the College of Media, helped organize the event with Whitney Godwin, the recruiting specialist for the college.

“We decided to join forces, we both like to do arts and crafts stuff,” Poling said. “For about a year, I have been making pillowcases for the Children’s Hospital, so I had a lot of pillowcases cut and ready to go.

Whitney had tons of scrapbooking supplies and cardmaking stuff.”

The project resulted in 25 pillowcases and numerous valentines for the hospital.

Although Sears was never a WVU student, that did not stop Mountaineers from coming out in support and celebration of her life.

“I think this was an extraordinary showing,” Morgan said. “It’s awesome to see this many people come together to support a group of students on campus, no matter the circumstances.”

George Capel, expressed how pleased he was with the amount of people at the vigil.

“I think this is a great showing of how students not only come together for our own students, but also for other students who come and travel to our campus,” Capel said. “We care about everybody here, and we know if something were to happen like this to one of our students on Ole Miss’s campus, God forbid, they would do the same for us.”

Lucente, who graduated from high school with Sears, said it was meaningful that WVU students recognized the life of Sears.

“I’m just so amazed by how many people showed up. A lot of people from our high school came here and really knew her… I think it’s good that they all showed up,” Lucente said. “I just want to say thanks to everyone who came, and this just makes everyone feel better.”

“It was a learning experience. They’ve all turned out really, really good,” Poling said. “Everyone seems to have had fun so far.”

Karlee Gibson, a freshman journalism student, volunteered to make pillowcases and valentines for the children at the hospital.

“It was a great opportunity to both help out a great cause and to relax,” Gibson said.

The project was a way for Poling and Godwin to utilize the new Media Innovation Center, and Poling said to push students to participate in events outside of the Downtown Campus.

“Today’s the first day I’ve been in the space. I’ve been looking at the pictures of it for over a year now, and it’s really cool to finally see it in person. It’s a lot bigger than I thought it would be.

There’s definitely tons of different rooms,” Poling said.

“It seems like there’s a lot of action going on out here.”

Poling believes attending classes in the Innovation Center is worth the journey to Evansdale Crossing.

Debate feud injects fresh chaos into GOP primary

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP)— An explosive feud between Donald Trump and Fox News Channel is overshadowing the final sprint to Iowa’s presidential caucuses, injecting a new sense of chaos into the 2016 Republican contest.

On the eve of the final debate before Iowa voters weigh in, Trump refused to back off his decision to boycott Thursday’s prime-time faceoff. His campaign insisted that debate host Fox News crossed a line with a sarcastic statement mocking him and continued to criticize moderator Megyn Kelly. In turn, Fox accused Trump’s camp of trying to terrorize its employees.

“They think they can toy with Mr. Trump,” campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” ‘’Mr. Trump doesn’t play games.”

Trump reiterated his plans to skip the debate in an interview Wednesday on Fox News, saying, “I just don’t like being used.”

As the public clash intensified, Trump’s Republican competitors hunkered down for a day of private debate preparations filled with uncertainty. Skeptical that he would follow through on his boycott, the other campaigns held practice sessions with and without someone playing Trump.

Some thought the absence of Trump could make another leading Iowa contender, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a prime target for campaigns eager to spark a lastminute shakeup. Cruz challenged Trump to a separate one-on-one debate, a proposal that was dismissed by his opponent.

“Even though I beat him in the first six debates, especially the last one, Ted Cruz wants to debate me again.

Can we do it in Canada?”

Trump tweeted, referencing Cruz’s birthplace.

Cruz renewed the invitation to debate, saying they could meet Saturday in Sioux City, Iowa. And two super PACs supporting Cruz promised to donate $1.5 million to charities serving

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives on stage before speaking during a campaign stop on Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2016, in Gilbert, S.C. military veterans if Trump agreed to a head-to-head showdown.

“It’s not really that Donald is afraid of me,” Cruz said at a rally Wednesday night outside of Des Moines. “He’s afraid of you.

He doesn’t want to answer questions from the men and women of Iowa about how his record doesn’t match what he’s selling.”

Some foes saw the shakeup as an opening to rise above the ruckus.

“These kinds of theatrics by Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are an entertaining sideshow, but they have nothing to do with defeating Hillary Clinton,” Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said. “We

don’t have time for these kinds of distractions.”

Despite the attention, there was little sense that Trump’s move would significantly change the trajectory of the Republican contest in Iowa. While the former reality television star holds a big lead in most national polls, he and Cruz are locked in a tight race here.

“My sense is those Iowa Republicans who weren’t fans of Donald Trump before yesterday, this has only validated their opinion of him, and those Iowans who have been drawn to his passionate attack on the media and political elites in our country are even more emboldened by their guy to-

day,” said former Iowa GOP chairman Matt Strawn.

Trump has substituted mass rallies for normal meet-and-greet events, made inflammatory statements that would have sunk other candidates, and spent much of his time giving his views on television news shows and Twitter.

Instead of debating Thursday night, Trump will host what his campaign is calling a “special event to benefit veterans’ organizations.” The campaign on Wednesday evening formally announced details for the event, scheduled to begin at the same time as the debate - and just two miles away.

Campaigning Wednesday evening in South Carolina, Trump drew cheers when he noted his plans to return to Iowa for the fundraiser. But he made no direct reference to the debate, off-handedly saying, “I’ve not been treated fairly.”

In Iowa, Plymouth County GOP Chairman Don Kass called it “typical Trump” and said the candidate could benefit by “making a bigger splash” with his own event.

“Frankly, you know, in the past, anytime somebody thought he did something that cost him, it didn’t cost him,” Kass said.

In December, Trump threatened to skip a CNN

ap

debate unless the network paid him $5 million, which he said he’d donate to charity. The network did not pay up, and he showed up nonetheless. And in October, he and rival Ben Carson’s campaign threatened not to show unless their demands for a shorter run time and other conditions were met. The network adjusted and they appeared.

Trump’s Fox feud dates back to the first primary debate, when Kelly took him to task over derogatory statements he’d made about women.

The mocking Fox statement on Tuesday was the final straw.

WVUToday reports “American Pain” was named the New York Post Favorite Book of 2015 and has received positive reviews from both USA Today and the Washington Post, and Warner Bros. is developing a movie script based on the book.

Temple is the author of two other non-fiction books, “The Last Lawyer,” about a lawyer and his fight to get his client off death row, and “Deadhouse: Life in a Coroner’s Office,” which provides an in-depth look at a team of investigators at a coroner’s office in Pittsburgh.

“The Last Lawyer” was the winner of the 2010 Scribes Book Award for best law-related book.

Temple said he never set out to be a crime writer, but those were the kind of stories that came up and stuck with him.

As a journalist, Temple was always interested in long, in-depth stories, particularly those where something unfolds. He decided to start writing books, and since crime is inherently interesting to people, it was easy for him to pursue these stories.

Although Temple has al-

ready penned three books, he said it took him roughly 20 years to get to the point where his work is getting attention.

As a piece of advice to aspiring journalists and writers, he believes “the idea of perseverance and sticking with it is the biggest key to writing.”

Temple will join WVU Health Sciences vice president and executive dean, Dr. Clay Marsh, during Connect with Clay at noon today in room 1909 in the Health Sciences Building.

trition said that eating a diet rich with fruits and vegetables is essential in order to live a long, prosperous life.

The Council states on its website, “Unhealthy eating habits have contributed to the obesity epidemic in the United States: About onethird of U.S. adults (33.8 percent) are obese, and approximately 17 percent (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2-19 years are obese.”

As if this wasn’t alarming

enough, the council also said, “Even for people at a healthy weight, a poor diet is associated with major health risks that can cause illness and even death.”

EatWELL provides the incentive and education needed for WVU students to make positive changes in their nutritional habits, moving them closer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

This serving recommendation helps reduce the health risks associated with an unhealthy lifestyle and diet.

Cooking classes, FREG days and smoothie workshops are open to all WVU students. A full listing of eatWELL educational programs and cookWELL classes are available online.

editorial

In a few months, preparations for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero, Brazil will begin. During the three-week event, the world’s best athletes will compete for the gold in sports such as diving, gymnastics and fencing.

A new group of athletes previously excluded from competing are now eligible to enter as of this year. Previously, transgender athletes were only allowed to compete after having sexual reassignment surgery and receiving hormone therapy for at least two years post-operation.

However, in a landmark decision by the International Olympic Committee that “(adapts) to current scientific, social and legal attitudes on transgender issues,” transgender athletes are now not required to have undergone sexual reassignment surgery in order to compete in any Olympic event.

The new guidelines will allow female-to-male transgender athletes to

npr.org

Keelin Godsey is a female-to-male transgender athlete. compete without any restrictions on hormone levels, and male-to-female athletes simply have to prove their testosterone levels have been under a certain threshold for at least one year prior to the games.

How much muscle mass and stamina a person has doesn’t rely on what reproductive parts they were born with. A person’s hormone levels determine almost all of their physical capabilities, as they dictate important bodily func-

tions like where and how much fat is stored and how quickly muscles develop— both key components for athletes.

It is widely understood that humans as a species are sexually dimorphic, which describes the

biological differences between males and females.

This is especially true in areas concerning physical ability.

Though both biologically male and female athletes are capable of amazing feats, individuals who are

biologically female generally have about 40 percent less upper body mass than their male counterparts, even at peak physical fitness. Biologically male individuals can also run for longer distances and at greater speeds than those who are biologically female.

Some have raised concern in the past over transgender athletes having an unfair advantage or disadvantage when it comes to competing, but the IOC’s new guidelines will prevent this from occurring while reflecting a more modern understanding of the human body.

Many transgender individuals make the decision to not receive sexual reassignment surgery, as current methods are still risky.

However, thanks to the new rules, their decision will no longer affect their ability to prove their skills and excel at their sport in the upcoming summer games. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

New depression screening recommendation is flawed

Huffingtonpost.com

The inside of a doctor’s office is what many healthy American adults could soon be seeing if new U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommendations are followed.

Thomas Mcquain columnist @dailyathenaeum

Depression is an alltoo-real part of many Americans’ lives. WebMD. com’s data suggests that “about 9 percent of Americans report they are depressed at least occasionally, and 3.4 percent suffer from major depression.”

Plenty more cases of both minor and major depression go unreported, and in response the U. S. Preventative Services Task Force has recommended that all adults in the U. S. should be screened for depression and its

symptoms.

A c c o rd i n g t o L i veScience, USPSTF claims that “there is enough good-quality evidence to be confident that the benefits of screening for depression outweigh the harms for the general adult population.” This claim, however, does not accurately weigh its pros and cons.

Out of every disorder or mental health issue out there, depression is not only the most common, but also the most varied.

Depression is a different beast in every affected person. The amount of things that can cause depression are as vast as the cases themselves. Anything from

relationship loss to chemical imbalances can cause depression, which brings into question the nature of the screening.

The most common way to screen for depression is to ask the patient questions. The answers allow doctors to determine the severity of their condition, if it is present at all. However, patients may give unclear answers and could simply forget or withhold important information, leading to improper diagnoses.

Not all family doctors are licensed psychologists who can accurately diagnose depression, and with hundreds of millions of adults living in the United

States, hospitals would be grossly undertrained for this undertaking.

A pair of psychiatry professors at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Charles Reynolds III and Ellen Frank, have important concerns regarding USPSTF’s recommendation.

“The recommendations do not put enough emphasis on major depression as a recurring, chronic condition for the majority of patients who have the condition,” the two say.

Major depression, while considerably less common, is more damaging and potentially deadly, and therefore should be more centric to the

screening. Minor depression does not often require medical intervention and can be treated in more economical ways such as spending time with family.

What is likely the most detrimental con to USPSTF’s recommendation is the added medical expense that screening could require from all U.S. adults found to have depression.

The added cost comes from repeated visitations recommended by the doctor, as well as antidepressants if the patient decides to use them.

Having been screened and found to have depression myself, I found the experience of en-masse screening to be expensive

and largely unsuccessful. I originally visited the hospital for a different ailment, but it was not until I revealed suspicions that I was suffering from depression that my screening began. Once it did, the screening seemingly overshadowed the physical aspect of my illness that I had originally gone in to treat in my caretaker’s eye.

Depression is a tough c u s t o m e r.

H o w e v e r, USPSTF’s recommendation regards depression as the most important customer, which is simply not the case for many adults in the United States. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Corey Smith to play Schmitt’s Saloon Chelsea Walker A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Bringing his southern charm and ballads that preach prayer, party and pride, Americana singer Corey Smith will grace the stage tonight at Schmitt’s Saloon.

Reigning from the deep south, Smith’s upbringing in Jefferson, Georgia, paved the way for the tales told through his country lyrics. From running around homecoming at his local high school to picking on his guitar in downtime, Smith lived the small town life in the simple, southern Georgia community.

Now emerging and becoming more popular within the industry, Smith said he never really set out to become a country megastar; he fell into the world of music accidentally.

“I used to teach school I had a full-time job, mortgage, a family and all of that,” Smith said.

“I always wrote songs on my guitar as a hobby, and I was able to save a bunch of money from a bunch of little gigs I was playing at, and I made my first three records when I was teaching.”

While Smith’s journey from roaming high school hallways to gracing the center of concert venues wasn’t necessarily planned, his upbringing in the South made him no stranger to classic country music. But Smith said he was never confined to one specific genre. The artist said he grew up listening to influences such as Michael Jackson, the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and even Smith’s father, who played with his own southern rock band.

“For as long as I can remember I’ve loved music,” Smith said.

“I’ve always listened to

whatever moved me at the time.”

Smith said songwriting is what truly fuels his passion for music. The southern star said no matter what type of beat you lay for the music, the lyrics themselves tell the story.

“The great thing about writing is, there is a lot of freedom there,” Smith said.

“I think a lot of elements in music that make it sound like a certain genre don’t come in until later on, in the production process when you choose instrumentation. I’m just a singer-song writer, and that gives me a lot of freedom to explore different stuff.”

Smith’s hits “If I Could Do It Again” and “Drinkin’ Again” are only a few of the many tracks that have received praise from fans online. The country star said his rise to fame came from online buzz rather than mainstream play, which is the driving factor motivating his current tour, encouraging more fans to give the artist a listen and to spread the word of his music by mouth.

The artist’s most recent album, “While The Gettin’ Is Good,” dropped in June, which is why he said he is in no hurry to rush things creatively.

With a new album and tour, the artist is now preparing for his 30-plus show tour taking place this spring.

While his show at Schmitt’s Saloon may not be his debut, the artist said he loves the energy West Virginia fans bring. With Morgantown being one of the first stops on his spring run, the artist said fans should anticipate a high-energy show full of enthusiasm.

‘The People v. O.J. Simpson’ to replay the notorious murder trial Meg Weissend A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

More than 100 million people tuned in to watch the Los Angeles jury announce that it had found the notorious O.J. Simpson not guilty of murder on Oct. 2, 1995.

That nationwide broadcast is one of the mostwatched events in television history, the story not only captivating the United States, but the world. This year, the controversial trial will be available to view once more.

The 10-episode miniseries, “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” will debut on FX Feb. 2.

This biographical drama will take viewers back to when it all started- the discovery of Simpson’s exwife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald L. Goldman. Both had been fatally stabbed on the evening of June 12, 1994.

The former football player was accused of the murder, which led to a trial

that riveted the country and divided many along racial lines.

The series features a highly recognized cast, including Cuba Gooding Jr. as Mr. Simpson, John Travolta and Courtney B. Vance as defense lawyers Robert L. Shapiro and Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., Sarah Paulson as prosecutor Marcia Clark and David Schwimmer as Simpson’s popular defense attorney Robert Kardashian.

Based on New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin’s 1996 book “The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson,” the series is created by wellknown executive producer and director Ryan Murphy, recognized as the mind behind the gory melodrama “American Horror Story.”

Murphy and his collaborators, producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, believe it is the perfect time to revisit the case. Recently, confrontations between white law enforcement officers and black civilians have been all over the news. While the new show acts as a source of enter-

tainment, it is also created to address a social issue, encouraging the public discussion of our current legal system.

“We had the opportunity to be part of a conversation that needed to be had,” Jacobson said in an interview with The New York Times.

“While we were shooting, the drumbeat of that conversation just kept getting louder and louder and louder. We did feel a sense of purpose, to speak to a giant audience with a director who has an enormous following and access and actors who have fans in every corner.”

Thanks to the decision to allow cameras in the courtroom, screenwriters were able to look back on the trial, capturing the tension, emotions, personalities and relationships of the people involved.

American Crime Story is said to have a few parallels to “Making A Murderer,” a Netflix documentary currently hijacking pop culture. Like the long trial of small-town Wisconsin man Steven Avery, Simpson’s

case has drawn an audience due to unclear convictions and widespread conspiracy.

Although the now 68-year-old was acquitted in 1995, Simpson is currently behind bars charged for a number of felony counts, including kidnapping and armed robbery.

Locked up in 2007, Simpson will be eligible for parole in 2017.

The live broadcast of Simpson’s verdict postponed press conferences, delayed government functions and caused the president to leave the Oval Office to watch the trial with his staff. Even nationwide water usage dramatically decreased because people were reluctant to go to the bathroom and miss the verdict.

The trial will always be remembered in history, and American Crime Story has found a way to bring the chilling event back to life.

WVU School of Music teams up for special performance mel smith

A&E WRiter @dailyathenaeum

A fellow Mountaineer will be leading various ensembles today, making his mark on the West Virginia University School of Music.

The West Virginia University Wind Symphony, Wind Symphony Brass, Men’s Chorus and WVU Percussion Ensemble will be performing a special selection of seven diverse pieces tonight. The performance will feature a rather eclectic and wide-ranging selection of music, which has been in preparation since December. A unique aspect of this semester’s performance is the appearance of graduate student, Stephen Lane, showing what he has

learned in WVU’s School of Music.

Lane is pursuing a Masters of music in conducting within the School of Music. He is conducting the entire program after carefully choosing which ensemble would best present a valuable learning experience. The performance will provide an opportunity for the ensembles to showcase their talents while allowing Lane to conduct solo. Conducting the ensembles is a requirement for Lane’s degree, which he will finish in May. The program will feature seven pieces of heterogeneous music showcasing a specific feature. The Brass Ensemble will perform the first two pieces.

The first piece is Giovanni

Gabrieli’s “Canzon a 12,” featuring three separate brass choirs that encompass the piece’s tone. Alan Hovaness’s “Sharagan & Fugue” is next, known for the aspects of the Armenian Liturgical Chang intertwining with traditional fugue.

The WVU Men’s Choir will perform the next two pieces, including Randall Thompson’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” a the choral transcription of Robert Frost’s famous poem, and “Take, O Take Those Lips Away”

by J. Edmund Hughes and Mary Ellen Loose, a part of “A Shakespeare Suit” from “Measure from Measure.”

Mario Davidovsky’s “Synchronisms No. 5 for Percussion Players and Tape” is a modern piece with elec-

tronic tap performed by the Percussion Ensemble. Eric Ewazen’s “A Hymn for the Lost and the Living,” is a heavy piece depicting the days following the tragic events of Sept.

11, 2001, played by the full WVU Wind Symphony.

Lastly, “Freckles Rag” by Larry Buck is a ragtime piano piece to uplift the show and finish on a high-energy note to be performed by the WVU Symphony.

John Hendricks the assistant dean and director of bands, is eager to see the work of his students this evening. He works closely with Lane, serving as one of his mentors and professors.

“As assistant dean and director of bands, I am looking forward to seeing all of Stephen Lane’s and all the

students’ musical efforts in rehearsals come together for a fine performance,” Hendricks said. “The Wind Symphony is comprised of some of the best wind and percussion players at this University. For the Men’s Choir - this is the first year for this ensemble at WVU.” Leading the auditionbased group is not Lane’s first rodeo when it comes to conducting. He taught public school for three years after graduating with his bachelor’s degree in music education in May 2010, and conducted and directed several bands at Leonardtown High School in Maryland. He came back to WVU to earn his Masters degree to further his skills as a conductor and musician.

Lane is looking forward to a night filled with great music, emotional moments and enjoying his time at the podium.

“Although the rehearsal and preparation process was tedious at times, my goal is to go out and make wonderful music with the musicians and enjoy the moment,” Lane said. “I have truly learned a lot from my professors throughout the past two years that have made me a better musician, conductor and educator.”

The recital is free to students and the Morgantown community. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Gladys Davis Theatre of the Creative Arts Center. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Fergie applauds designer Jean Paul Gaultier’s Couture homage to ‘80s PARIS (AP) — It was probably before the time of his front row stars singers Fergie and Beth Ditto - but they laughed and applauded nonetheless at Jean Paul Gaultier’s fashion homage to the Palace club, France’s answer to New York’s oncefamous Studio 54.

Here are the highlights of Wednesday’s spring-summer 2016 couture collections in Paris.

--THE PALACE PARTY The glamorous, underground theater was the hippest place in Paris from its inauguration in 1978 by Grace Jones, who famously serenaded the guests with her version of “La Vie en Rose,” all the way to its end in 1983.

The converted theater represented a golden age in French disco culture and saw Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall and Andy Warhol rub shoulders with designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld, and, yes, Gaultier himself. It was immortalized in a song by disco-queen and Salvador Dali muse

- Amanda Lear, 69, who sat at the Gaultier show as her music boomed in the soundtrack.

Model Farida Khelfa, also a famed Palace regular, laughed and clapped from the front row.

--G AU LT I E R ’ S ‘80s THEATRE At Wednesday’s show the fashion dial was turned to the beginning of ‘80s.

Sequined pill box hats, strong shouldered tuxedos, jumpsuits, silken pajama suits, and big, big hair dazed guests at the high-energy show delivered with a funky 1980s soundtrack. The litany of stars that graced the famed Palace venue were the inspirations for the designer’s myriad 69 looks.

Grace Jones was reimagined in a dull shimmering black-and-brown sequined jumpsuit and brown lace robe. Khelfa was spotted on the catwalk in a black perfecto jacket with blood-red nails, lips and shirt.

And one look, big blond hair against a black crepe

bustier dress with fuchsia satin, must surely have been the glamorous Hall.

--MAISON MARGIELA’S COLLAGE COUTURE John Galliano demonstrates a seemingly effortless flair in anything he does.

For Maison Margiela’s spring show, the former Dior man explored the process of couture through the construct of collage and spontaneous fusion. It made for the wackiest styles seen this season - but possibly also the most artful.

Twenty-five creations played on billowing volumes, contrasting fabric and styles, and pieces of clothing stitched together in unexpected places. If this sounds like a recipe for a fashion mess, in the hands of Galliano it blossomed.

An off-white trench coat in triple georgette and baggy black riding boots meshed with a layered, pleated skirt, cutting a beautiful feminine silhouette.

A silk dress with Chantilly lace was covered at the front with an enveloping

layer of sheer black silk that wrapped the entire look - as if blown on the model accidently by the wind. It billowed gracefully backward as the model walked forward - proving true method in the madness.

--VALENTINO’S BEAUTY Valentino designers Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri described their collection as an “airy and vertical” approach to couture.

Yet this description missed so much. It was a truly divine collection of flowing column gowns that played deftly on classical references.

Inspired by 1900s fashion designer Mariano Fortuny, the designs mixed up fluid Greco-Roman silhouettes with those of more embellished Eastern Byzantine.

A loose, white velvet dress sported gentle gold handmade impressions and a twisted Grecian knot down one arm. Other crepe gowns evoked a tunic silhouette.

They contrasted gently with “eastern” looks, such

as a powder rose tulle dress with high collar and arabesque appliques that were lifted with a stylish vermillion band across the bottom.

No assessment of a Valentino collection would be fair without mention of the elderly “petites mains” (seamstresses) that are the motors behind this astonishing couture. Many of the dresses in the 66-piece-show took over 1,800 hours to make.

--ELIE SAAB’S EMBELLISHED PASTELS Wednesday’s show was one of his most embellished couture displays to date for the popular Lebanese designer Elie Saab, who explored looks that channeled pastel foliage-clad princesses against a verdant tropical forest.

With tiaras and diamond jewelry, the 50 pastel looks in blue, lavender, pink, white and flashes of cobalt blue, riffed of the sheen and sparkle of glimmering leaves. As ever, cinched-waist floorlength gowns were the go-to silhouette. But fine embroideries of silk, sequins and

beads made this an atypical, poetic collection.

A lavender jacket and an A-line gown sported delicate embroideries that glistened like morning dew on a spider web. Some bolder printed multicolor silk dresses, meanwhile, had a great hazy look, as if washed by water.

--VIKTOR & ROLF’S SURREAL COUTURE They say couture is the “ideas factory” for the fashion industry.

No one tries to demonstrate this more than Dutch design duo Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren - who in Wednesday’s installment conjured up a bizarre series of huge, white fabric figurative face sculptures.

The show started with a wearable buttoned white mini-dress - of which the vertical buttoned down part morphed into a large human nose in profile. As the collection progressed - things took a turn for the surreal, at times evoking Pablo Picasso’s one-line drawings from the 1950s.

Film reform sparks new round of criticism NEW YORK (AP)‑ Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said it was altering membership rules in response to an outcry over the diversity of its voters and nominees, another uproar has erupted around Hollywood. Many academy members are protesting that the new measures unjustly scapegoat older academy members and imply they’re racist.

Fiery letters have poured into the academy. Trade magazines are littered with critical op-eds from members. Meanwhile, civil rights leaders and others say the academy’s actions didn’t go far enough. More steps are needed, they say, to make the Oscars and the industry more inclusive.

Reforms meant to calm a crisis seem to have only further enflamed it. This year’s Feb. 28 Academy Awards are looking less like a glitzy gala and more like a battlefield.

“We all have to calm down a bit. The conversation has become unduly vitriolic,” says Rod Lurie, the writer-director of “Straw Dogs” and “The Contender” and a member of the academy’s directors’ branch. “Nobody in the academy should dignify any accusations of racism,” Lurie said in an interview, “but there obviously are biases that are created by the demographics of the academy.”

The typically slow-moving academy acted swiftly last week, holding an emergency meeting of its Board of Governors.

In the wake of a second straight year of all-white acting nominees - and calls for a boycott of the Oscars broadcast - the 51-member board unanimously voted to revamp membership rules in an effort to change the makeup of the largely white, male and older association of some 7,000 exclusive members.

Though Oscar voting was previously for life, it will now be restricted to members who have been active in the industry within the past 10 years, with a few exceptions like for previous Oscar nominees.

The academy also set a goal to double minority and female members by 2020.

Some academy members, while applauding efforts to diversify the academy, said taking away voting rights from older members smacks of ageism, and that they aren’t to blame for the dearth of minority nominees in the past two years; the industry is.

Studies have proven that minorities

Recent nominee controversy has forced the Academy of Motion Pictures to reconsider their membership requirements. remain underrepresented in all levels of the movie business, from protagonists on screen to executives who can green-light a film. But the last two years are something of an aberration in recent Oscar history.

In the 10 years prior, 24 of the 200 acting nominees were black. (Far less is the rate of nods for Hispanics or Asian-Americans, however.)

William Goldstein, a composer and longtime academy member, chastised the academy in a Los Angeles Times editorial for “capitulating to political correctness” while missing the bigger picture. He believes outreach and mentor programs will make a difference, not manipulating

demographics.

“The set of voters that they’re going to get rid of have seen more movies and have more context in which to judge something than any newbie coming into the academy,” Goldstein told The Associated Press.

“You can bring in more women, you can bring in more anybody. Everybody’s a human being. They’re going to vote what they’re going to vote. Nothing’s going to change.”

In a letter to the academy, Stephen Geller, a member of the writers branch and screenwriter of “SlaughterhouseFive,” accused academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs of “grey-listing” its older

members. Stephen Furst, the 60-year-old actor and academy member best known as Flounder from “Animal House,” wrote to the academy lamenting “the insulting and unfounded generalities the academy has made about the character and judgment of older academy members.”

James Woods, the 68-year-old, twicenominated actor, went further: “The motion picture academy announced separate bathroom facilities today: one for Members and one for Old White People,” he mocked on Twitter.

The academy indirectly responded to the furor in the “frequently asked questions” section of its website on Monday.

“We’re not excluding older members,” it reads. “These rules are not about age.

In fact, under the new rules many veteran Academy members will retain voting privileges.”

Others, though, maintained that the academy’s steps don’t address the real problems of the industry. Directors Guild of America president Paris Barclay in a statement said “structural changes” were needed in Hollywood to change hiring practices.

“Many times, with the best of intentions, a subject that is a symptom of this industry plague, but not the root cause, is targeted,” said Barclay. “This alone will do little to create more choices and get more films and television made that reflect the diversity we all deserve.”

In a letter to Isaacs requesting a meeting, Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, Rev. Al Sharpton and Melanie Campbell, president of the National Coalition on Black Civil Participation, called the academy’s plan “anemic and inadequate.”

Part of their frustration, Morial said in an interview, is that he’s seen previous declarations made on diversity come and go. He specifically cited conversations that didn’t lead anywhere with Sony Pictures after leaked emails led then co-chairman Amy Pascal to apologize for private comments denounced as racist.

Morial is seeking wider, systemic change from the academy and the studios.

“Hollywood wants to deal with this as a communications crisis, not a crisis of substance,” said Morial. “We’ve got to do something different. The industry has seen commitments made and then they just get beyond the crisis.”

Whishaw trapped by secrets in thriller ‘London Spy’ LONDON (AP)‑ Ben Whishaw is trapped in a web of intrigue within a world of secrets. But he’s a long way from James Bond in “London Spy,” a TV thriller that explores the murky, morally ambivalent side of British espionage and power.

One day during filming of the five-part BBC America miniseries, Whishaw bolted through London’s Paddington Station in pursuit of clues to a murder. Mysterious, sinister forces were on his tail.

The British actor - recently seen as gadget guru Q in the 007 flick “Spectre” - said it was an unusually actionpacked scene.

“It’s about as far away from James Bond as you could possibly get,” Whishaw said. “There’s very little running.

There’s not even a lot of action. It’s encounters between people.”

That’s fine with Whishaw, at 35 one of Britain’s best young actors, who can brood and smolder with the best of them. He’s joined by a top British cast that includes Jim Broadbent, Charlotte Rampling and Adrian Lester in a series that gives the English spy thriller a gritty urban twist.

Writer Tom Rob Smith says it’s less “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold” than “the spy who got dragged into the spy world.”

Smith, who also wrote Soviet thriller “Child 44,”says the series has its origin in a “geographical fluke”: He noticed that the hulking, high-security headquarters of Britain’s overseas intelligence agency sit alongside a gay nightclub district.

“On one side of the road you have MI6, this embodiment of secrets and power,” Smith said. “And on the other side you have the hub of clubs where it’s about hedonism and fun.”

In the first episode of “London Spy,” Whishaw’s character Danny - a romantic slacker from the clubbing side of the street - starts a relationship with Alex, a reserved math genius who is slightly vague about his precise line of work.

When Alex disappears, Danny discovers his lover was a spy - and that Danny is being framed as a murderer.

Frantic to solve the mystery of Alex’s disappearance, Danny is up against the pillars of the British establishment: police, politicians, spies and the press, who all present a version of Alex and their relationship that he doesn’t recognize.

Like many thriller writers, Smith is fascinated by the hidden power of the secret state. He was also inspired by Britain’s phone-hacking scandal, in which tabloid journal-

Ben Whishaw stars in ‘London Spy’ on BBC America. ists eavesdropped on voicemails in pursuit of scoops. At a public inquiry, hacking victims told of their shock at seeing their private lives served up as front-page news, often in unrecognizable form.

In “London Spy,” Danny knows he is innocent and someone else must be guilty. But no one will listen.

“Even when you know the truth, even when you scream it as loud as you possibly can, who believes you in this country” Smith said. “Danny is as far removed from the tradition of the English spy thriller as you can possibly get. He doesn’t have the suit. He doesn’t have the voice. He doesn’t have the accent. He doesn’t have the education.”

To many, Danny is also a sexual outsider. Smith said it was important to build the series around a gay relationship.

“I’m not doing it to be audacious,” he said. “It felt like it was a much easier relationship to lie about, from the enemy’s point of view, and a much easier relationship to manipulate in public opinion than had it been a man and a

woman, or even a woman and a woman.”

Smith said, in many ways, Danny and Alex have “an incredibly conventional relationship. They meet in a very classically romantic way, two strangers, and they have a very conventional, very traditional romance.”

But even by the duplicitous standards of the British spy thriller, “London Spy” is complicated. When the show aired in Britain last fall, reactions ranged from rapt to puzzled and back again. The Daily Telegraph pronounced the series “wonderful and infuriating.”

Whishaw relishes the script’s complexity.

“James Bond is a binary story - there’s a hero and there’s an enemy,” he said. “This is playing with something that’s more ambiguous all along the way.”

“If we get it right, the audience shouldn’t know - as Danny doesn’t know - what’s real and what isn’t any more,” he said.

Newcomer James Bay is ready to rock at Grammy Awards NEW YORK (AP) ‑ For rock singer James Bay, receiving not one or two - but three - Grammy nominations for his debut album is “insane.” That’s because Bay, 25, remembers how scary it was to finally record music after performing around Europe for more than 10 years.

“It’s one of those situations ... (where) there’s as much anxiety as there is excitement,” Bay said in a recent interview. “Recording it was a kind of a scary thing because it was very unknown. ... I did my first show when I was 14 ... (and) recording is not something I’m familiar with.”

Enter Jacquire King, the Grammy-winning producerengineer-mixer who worked on Kings of Leon’s colossal hit “Use Somebody” as well as songs for Tom Waits, Norah Jones and others. Bay had put King at the top of his list of dream producers to help him not only craft good songs, but also develop his own style and sound.

“Literally I opened up a couple of his demos ... about five minutes into them ... I was totally onboard,” King said. “I loved his voice.”

At the Grammys, airing live Feb. 15 from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Bay is being recognized for a wide range of his talents: There’s his songwriting (best rock song for “Hold Back the River”); his full body of work (rock album for “Chaos and the Calm”); and his overall artistry as a singer-to-watch on the music scene

(best new artist).

“Awards are fun, but the Grammys are pretty damn special,” said Bay, who grew up in England and regularly rocks a fedora. “I didn’t think about awards too much growing up, I really, really didn’t, but I always recognized the Grammys and thought, ‘Wow, that would be fun one day to get nominated for one of those.’ It’s a bit of a dream come true.”

His debut album, released last March and recorded with King in Nashville, Tennessee, is a rock adventure that explores elements of indie rock, soft rock, Americana, folk, blues and pop rock - all with the guitar at the forefront. “Best Fake Smile” and “Hold Back the River” are thumping, passionate tunes; “If You Ever Want to Be in Love” is a sweet mid-tempo love song; “Let It Go,” which is rising on Billboard Hot 100 chart, is a winning slow burner.

And the album’s opening track, “Craving,” best describes Bay’s ambitious attitude for wanting more.

“I got trapped into too many bar jobs in the same small town. As you mature and you grow and you sort of develop new tastes for new things, I didn’t want any of that anymore, and I wanted something different. And it was all spurred on by wanting to play music,” Bay said.

“Chaos and the Calm” became one of the top-selling albums last year in the U.K., where it debuted at

No. 1. Bay is nominated for four Brit Awards - including British album and single of the year - at the Feb. 24 awards show.

But Bay isn’t only being recognized with awards: The budding singer has been praised by rock vets Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, whom Bay has performed with.

“It’s really hard to put into words, but it makes me feel like things are on a whole other level,” he said of the love from The Rolling Stones members. “It’s an amazing, surreal experience.”

Bay’s raw vocals and skilled guitar playing translate at live shows, where he has won over audiences. He’ll be able to do it again when he performs at the Grammys.

“He understands how to channel that stuff and emote ... and give the song and the performance energy and real emotion,” King said, “and people respond to that.”

Bay will hit the stage with fellow best new artist nominee Tori Kelly (pop hitmaker Meghan Trainor, country singer-songwriter Sam Hunt and Australian rock performer Courtney Barnett round out the nominees). His competition in the rock categories range from Muse to Alabama Shakes and Florence + the Machine.

“I would genuinely take anyone or hopefully all three.

I think for me, such a newbie, to be recognized by the Grammys is insane,” he said

Kyzir White could be the last, best of the White brothers in Morgantown

BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

Scranton, Pennsylvania’s Lackawanna College, 325 miles from Morgantown, West Virginia, has provided the West Virginia University football team with plenty of talent over the years – but its greatest gift has undoubtedly been the White family.

In 2014, Kevin White was a Biletnikoff Award finalist, parlaying a brilliant senior season into a top-10 selection in the 2015 NFL Draft. His younger brother Ka’Raun also made his way to Morgantown from Lackawanna the following year, coming on late to establish himself in Dana Holgorsen’s wide receiver rotation.

But the White family might have saved its best for last. The youngest brother, Kyzir, is a fourstar rated safety who’s also set to make the trek from Lackawanna to West Virginia, and there are whispers that he may be the best of the brothers.

A ferocious, hard-hitting defensive back, White could be in line to start right away should he hold firm to his commitment to WVU. His brothers see flashes in him of one of the best Mountaineer defenders of the modern era: Karl Joseph.

“Kyzir’s a dog,” Ka’Raun White said in a November interview. “I compare him to Karl Joseph. He’s that good. I think he might be the best out of us.”

A corner and receiver in high school who held no FBS offers, White developed quickly at Lackawanna College. Lackawanna head coach Mark Duda has called him the “best safety in junior college,” and recruiting services have him ranked above where Kevin and Ka’Raun

were coming out of juco.

So it was natural, then, when in June – soon after Kevin was picked seventh overall by the Chicago Bears, and Ka’Raun preparing for his first season in Morgantown – that Kyzir verbally committed to become the third White brother to play for the West Virginia Mountaineers.

For Kyzir, familiarity was the key. “(Kyzir) has been to West Virginia 10,000 times,” Duda said. “He has two brothers who are Mountaineers. It makes sense that that’s where he wants to go.”

But while it was an ironclad assumption that the family connection would surely send White to West Virginia, White’s recruitment has blown up in recent weeks. Programs like Penn State have kept up a dogged pursuit, and White has attracted offers from some of the nation’s traditional powerhouses, including Oklahoma.

But the biggest competition for White’s signature appears to be USC, who offered him a scholarship in late December. White took an official visit to Los Angeles on Jan. 15, and offered a glowing review of what he found.

“It was a great place to be, I’ve never seen anything like it,” White said to TrojanSports.com. “USC is in kind of a different bracket.”

Although he remains verbally committed to West Virginia, White’s decision between WVU and USC will likely come down to Signing Day. Time will tell whether the call of home and family will be enough to keep the White family together in Morgantown, or if White will take his shot at making an impact on the West Coast. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

GIVING IT AWAY

ASKAR SALIKHOV/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU’s Lanay Montgomery during a game this season with Delaware State.

Turnovers cost WVU in second half collapse at OU

BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Following one of its most impressive offensive performances this season, the No. 24 West Virginia women’s basketball team lost 57-54 to the No. 21 Oklahoma Sooners Wednesday night.

The Mountaineers fall to 16-5 overall and 5-3 in the Big 12 Conference.

All of WVU’s conference losses thus far have come at the hands of a ranked opponent.

While the Mountaineers ended the game on an 8-3 run, it wasn’t enough for WVU to complete the comeback after Oklahoma made one of its own.

“Give Oklahoma credit,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey to WVUsports.com.

“They played harder and wanted it more in the sec-

ond half.”

At halftime, it seemed as if WVU was en route to another conference win, this time coming over a much tougher opponent.

However, at the end of the third quarter, the Sooners’ resiliency showed as the Mountaineers found themselves facing a twopoint deficit.

In the fourth quarter, the Sooners quickly gained the lead and kept a firm grasp on it. Redshirt junior Peyton Little extended the Sooners’ lead with her individual effort on a 7-2 run to start the quarter. At that point, it was Little who kept serving as a roadblock - with every point WVU made, Little answered right back.

Little led the Sooners with 23 points, nearly matching a career-high of 30 set last year. The Mountaineers did not have an

answer for Little’s electrifying performance, as the Abilene, Texas native shot 53 percent from the field and 50 percent beyond the arc.

Prior to the matchup, Carey emphasized his team’s need to play good defense, and in that respect, the team did. WVU generated 13 points after forcing 21 turnovers, but Oklahoma focused on the same game plan, holding WVU’s offense to a stalemate.

Ultimately, WVU’s 31 turnovers proved to be the difference in this matchup as on the other end, OU turned those turnovers into 25 points.

“We were turning it over in the outlets. It wasn’t pressure. It was easy, unforced errors,” Carey said.

“We gave that game away.

We lost Little in the second half. It’s things that

shouldn’t have happened.”

Sophomore Te a n a Muldrow led the way for the Mountaineers with 16 points and 8 rebounds. It was another impressive outing for the WVU bench as it outscored Oklahoma’s bench, 38-12. It marked the eighth consecutive game the Mountaineer bench recorded 30-plus points.

The road ahead doesn’t get any easier for the Mountaineers, as they will welcome No. 4 Baylor to the WVU Coliseum this Saturday. In the last matchup against the Lady Bears, WVU lost 69-64. The game will be televised on ROOT Sports Pittsburgh.

Saturday will be the chance for the Mountaineers to make a statement against a top-tier team, one which WVU is capable of upsetting. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Adrian shows promise in first start of season

By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

Everything seemed to be going against junior Nathan Adrian in the final moments before the West Virginia University men’s basketball team’s sixth Big 12 win.

Fans booed when Adrian’s name was announced in the starting lineup as a replacement for the injured Esa Ahmad. Everyone expected very little, but he bounced back in impressive fashion.

Adrian scored WVU’s first five points in Tuesday’s 70-55 win over Kansas State, including one of his two threes of the evening. He took the first score for an open layup underneath the basket and the second was a wide-open three in the corner, providing a rare buzz surrounding the unlikely candidate for an offensive outburst inside the Coliseum.

“It gives you good confidence throughout the game,” Adrian said. “Anytime you come out and make your first two, then obviously you’re feeling it a little bit that night so it was good.”

Adrian finished with a season-high 10 points, his largest total since an 11-point effort against Oklahoma a year ago.

Teammates and coaches had rave reviews after the game, recapping his best effort this season.

“I thought Nate (Adrian) had the best game of his career,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “He passed the ball. He kept the ball moving. His passes were good. Defensively, he was really good.

Instead of sulking about his struggles offensively, Adrian turned his head to the defensive side.

He’s worked relentlessly at being a better defender in the pressure style, developing into one of coach Huggins’ top offball defenders.

“Last year, I couldn’t shoot the ball very well so I started playing D a lot harder, off the ball a lot harder,” Adrian said.

“That’s really been a core part of my game.”

Then Adrian reappeared as one of WVU’s top performers on Tuesday. Alongside Jonathan Holton, he was one of two starters to score in doublefigures. It was a huge boost

for a struggling starting five, helping keep WVU atop the Big 12 standings.

And it showed flashes of brilliance for the Nathan Adrian that Mountaineer fans have been waiting for. All the hard work finally paid off, at least for one huge victory heading into a critical three-game stretch.

“Nate has been in the gym with me and Tarik (Phillip) working out everyday,” said WVU senior guard Jaysean Paige. “So it works out. It all pays off. It was good to see a guy like that have a good game after you see him work hard every day.” cgjackson@mix.wvu.edu

Spencer named Big 12 swimmer of the week

WVU swimmers dive into the pool in an October match against Marshall.

By Roger Turner Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

While the West Virginia swimming and diving program made national news for a video of team members diving into two feet of snow over the weekend, senior swimmer Max Spencer coasted under the radar as being named Big 12 Men’s Swimmer of the Week.

Spencer received the honors last week after winning all four of his individual events to open the new year. In competition against Pitt and TCU, Spencer helped lead his team to a pair of victories, sweeping the breaststroke events in both meets.

“Max is training and

competing at a very high level,” said WVU swimming and diving coach Vic Riggs.

“I think breaking two minutes in the 200 breast right now is really good for him and sets him up well for the rest of the season.”

In the 200 breaststroke, Spencer finished with a time of 1:59.32 against TCU, and touched the wall at 2:01.21 versus Pitt. Spencer’s time against TCU was a personal best for the senior from Chicago, as the victory propelled the Mountaineers over the Horned Frogs in a close competition.

To open 2016, Spencer posted wins in all three events he competed in versus Pitt in the annual Backyard Brawl. In the 100

breaststroke, Spencer finished with a time of 55.64 to win the event by 0.98 seconds. Spencer was also a competitor for the WVU men’s 200-medley relay team along with teammates Merwane El Merini, Daniel Rodriguez and Frank Csonka. Spencer’s final time of 2:01.21 in the 200 breaststroke was just .06 seconds off from setting a WVU pool record.

“I think getting his Olympic Trial cut in December gave him added motivation,” Riggs said. “Max has had an excellent winter training camp and off to a great start for the championship portion of our season.”

Spencer is the third member of the WVU men’s

team to be recognized as Big 12 Swimmer or Diver of the Week this season. In November, senior swimmer Andrew Marsh and sophomore diver Alex Obendorf were named Big 12 Men’s Swimmer and Diver of the Week on Nov. 5.

In the Mountaineers’ next meet, Spencer will be honored with 14 fellow seniors within WVU’s swimming and diving program.

West Virginia men’s and women’s teams will host Villanova on Friday for Senior Night at the WVU Natatorium. Iowa State will also compete against WVU and Villanova’s women’s teams as events will commence at 5 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Track

Cancellation of home opener could help WVU West Virginia University

BY JOEL NORMAN cancelled classes for Jan. SPORTS WRITER 22 and 25, but classes were @DAILYATHENAEUM not the only events cancelled due to heavy snow.

Morgantown and the rest The women’s track and field of the East Coast endured team was forced to cancel the wrath of winter storm its only home meet of the Jonas last weekend. year, the Marty Pushkin

Classic.

After opening the season in State College, Pennsylvania, with the Nittany Lion Challenge, head coach Sean Cleary and the Mountaineers were looking forward to their one and only home meet of the season.

“Competing at home next week will be good for us,” Cleary said after the Nittany Lion Challenge in an interview with WVUsports.com.

“The plan will be to get back to hard training and work on some of our weaknesses from this weekend. When we return to this track in two weeks, we expect to be better.”

As Cleary mentioned, West Virginia will be returning to Penn State this weekend. The Mountaineers will participate in the Penn State National Invitational.

West Virginia returns one final time to State College, arguably their home away from home this season, on Feb. 20 for the Penn State Tune Up, the final competition of the regular season.

At the Nittany Lion Challenge, freshman Danique Bryan led the way for the Mountaineers by winning the women’s long jump with 6.00 meters. Seven other West Virginia competitors finished in the top 10 of their respective categories.

Perhaps the unexpected weekend will be good for the Mountaineers. This is the only time that the track and field team will be off in the 2016 indoor season until March. From Jan. 29-Feb. 27, the Mountaineers will be competing every weekend from the Penn State National Invitational until the Big 12 Indoor Championship. Should West Virginia qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championship, they will get one weekend off before getting back at it on March 11.

Getting a good start to the season with multiple events is a good way to get back in to the swing of things, regardless of how they go. Players will progress with each event, knowing that they have another one the next weekend to prepare for.

However, the cancellation could be a blessing for the Mountaineers. Many of the runners in track and field competed in cross country and will also be competing in the outdoor track and field season.

Their season began in August. Getting an extra weekend off in a long school year can only be good for them.

Even though Mountaineer competitors had the weekend and Monday off, the inclement weather likely took away valuable practice time. Whether or not that will take its toll on the team will be discovered this weekend. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

LeBron says criticism he undermines coaches is unfair

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James disdains the notion he’s a coach killer.

Widely criticized in basketball circles for a perception that he pushed for Cleveland’s front office to fire David Blatt last week, James said the criticism that he undercuts coaches is unfair.

“But what can I do about it?” he said following shootaround on Wednesday as the Cavs prepared to play the Phoenix Suns.

“I’ve never, in my time since I picked up a basketball, ever undermined a coach, ever disrespected a coach,” he said. “You ask any of my little league coaches, my high school coaches, coaches I’ve played for in tournaments, camps, my NBA coaches, I’ve always respected what they wanted to do.”

Blatt was fired Friday midway through his second season despite having them atop the Eastern Conference standings and leading the team to the NBA Finals last season.

Blatt’s dismissal - he’s the third coach fired on a team James has played on - led to some condemnation of the four-time league MVP. On Tuesday, a limited partner with the Heat said during an interview on Israeli radio that James tried to get Erik Spoelstra fired in Miami. Ranaan Katz later retracted his statement to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Blatt was replaced by Tyronn Lue, his top assistant and a former NBA player who has known James since he was a 17-year-old high school phenom.

For many, Lue’s ascension was the result of James not wanting Blatt around.

There was an obvious disconnect between James and Cleveland’s former coach, who was wildly successful in Europe and hired

by Cleveland before James decided to return to the Cavaliers as a free agent in 2014.
