Commencement speakers prepare by courtney gatto staff writer @dailyathenaeum

As seniors prepare to walk across the stage to shake hands, smile for pictures and finally hold a college diploma in their hands, several speakers for West Virginia University’s May 2015 graduation are preparing their speeches.

Speakers will share words

of wisdom, affirm students of their abilities and help send Mountaineers off into the world with their new wealth of knowledge and view on the future.

“It’s an opportunity to hear from someone that they might look up to, that they might respect in their own profession or the person might have unique words of advice for them as they’re looking forward to the rest

of their lives,” said Gretchen Hoover, senior special event coordinator. “It’s just a nice way to sort of add to the ceremony to get some words of advice or to hear from someone that they might be able to relate to before they go off.”

Individual colleges and schools hosts their own commencement speakers so the guest can share personal stories or wisdom in rela-

tion to a specific career field the students might enter after graduation. The speakers all come with a variety of backgrounds, successes and experience.

Some of the guests are motivational speakers, CEOs, athletes, professors, senators and doctors.

While each speaker is different, they all have a message they’re willing to give to the new graduates.

Ken Herock, a former player for the Oakland Raiders when they were in the Arena Football League, will speak during the College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences commencement.

Herock has been involved with professional football for more 38 years as a player, scout, coach, personnel director and general manager. He has gained experience with many professional

teams including the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots, as well as serving on the College Relations Board for the National Football League.

But before all of this, Herock was a tight end for the Mountaineers. He was inducted into the WVU Physical Education Hall of Fame and now is ready

Rocketry club continues to grow since foundation in 2013

DAY AT THE FARM

Angus Compton, a junior psychology student, gets licked by one of the calves at WVU Farm’s event Tuesday morning.

West Virginia University may be home to the Mountaineers, but for some, they are the rocketeers.

The WVU Experimental Rocketry club hasn’t been around long but what it lacks in experience it makes up for in firepower.

“It’s a lot of work - it is rocket science - but it’s a lot of fun too,” said Justine Schultz, a senior mechanical and aerospace engineering student.

The club was formed in the fall of 2013 with the intention of giving students an outlet to discuss their interest in high powered rockets and space flight vehicles. It quickly grew into a competitive club that now competes with other schools on an international level.

“We will be competing against the greatest schools in the country as far as engineering and academics go,” Schultz said, referring to the club competing in the upcoming Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition. “So it will be interesting to see how we fit in and where we have to improve.“ The Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition is an annual competition where schools from around the world challenge one another to see who can build the most successful rocket.

The competition takes place in Utah from June 24-28.

The competition is sponsored by the likes of SpaceX and Northrop Grumman. Notable competitors are MIT, Virginia Tech, Turkey and Egypt. “ It o n l y matt e r s that we beat Virginia Tech,” said Ryan Maurer, a mechanical and aerospace engineering student.

College of Agriculture hosts “Kiddie Days” at WVU Farms

BY EMILY LESLIE STAFF WRITER @Dailyathenaeum

Thousands of children in the Morgantown area will get an up-close look at farm life during West Virginia University’s Animal Science Farm’s Kiddie Days at WVU Farms.

The Division of Animal and Nutritional Sciences in WVU’s Davis College of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Design intends to use this event to educate children about where their food comes from before their parents buy it.

On April 28, the first day of the event, a group of local kindergarteners excitedly pressed their wide-eyed faces to the gate as a tour guide taught them about how cows have four stomachs to digest their food.

One of the children, 4-year-old Sam Simmons, said his favorite part about the farm was “getting milk from cows because they squirt milk down their udders.”

John Yost, a farm operator for Animal Sciences who oversees the farm, said the purpose of Kiddie Days is to give young children the chance to experience life on the farm.

“It’s an opportunity to expose kids to agriculture – even if it’s just for an hour once a year,” Yost said. “They actually get to see a calf and find out where their milk comes from.

Most kids (when) you ask them where their food comes from—it’s Kroger or it’s Shop n’ Save.”

Yost said the event is also a great way to promote the Agriculture College and encourage young children to pursue this career path.

“Maybe these (kids) will be future students one day that will come back – and we hope that they do,” Yost said.

His hopes aren’t that far-fetched. One of the volunteers, Misty Walsh, now a sophomore pre-vet student who works with poultry, visited the event when she was in kindergarten.

“I grew up here, so I did (Kiddie Days) in kindergarten.

The only thing I remembered is picking up the chicks—but now that I’m older, I have to actually understand what goes through this,” Walsh said. “I still remember it and I’m 20

Alaina Young, a junior Animal Science and Agriculture extension student, said Kiddie Days is just one way WVU reaches out to the community.

“It’s fun for me because I get to teach younger kids stuff about the farm and it’s fun for them because they get to see the animals. I think it’s just great overall because it outreaches to the community and lets everyone see what we do out here,” Young said. “A lot of people drive by every day and don’t know what goes on. It gets us involved – and a big part of what I’m working toward is community outreach.”

peting in the “basic category.” They will be required to send a rocket with a minimum 10 pound payload to at least 10,000 feet above ground level.

Since there are no specific requirements to what the physical payload has to be made of, the team decided the payload should incorporate scientific research. The team went to the NASA Space Grant Association and applied for grants to research four separate topics. The four topics of research were air pollution, radiation, weather and humidity and altitude with GPS relay. All aspects of the research went to developing parts of the rocket.

The rocket that will be featured in the competition was completely handmade by the rocketry team. The team commuted back and forth from a workshop in Pittsburgh all year, which helped them create the multi-component rocket with help from an adviser from the Tripoli Rocket Association.

The rocket is 13 feet tall and eight inches in diameter. Along with the research payload the team will also incorporate a payload given to them from a Huntington elementary school’s second grade class.

However, the material of the payload is still unknown. This is both for the competition and for

Testimony in marathon bomber’s trial turns to sister-in-law BOSTON (AP) — Testimony in the trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev zeroed in Tuesday on his late brother’s wife, revealing searches done on her computer on the rewards of dying as a martyr’s spouse and raising questions about what she knew before the 2013 attacks.

Mark Spencer, a computer expert testifying for the defense, said a computer belonging to Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s wife, Katherine Russell, contained searches done more than a year before the bombings for terms that included “rewards for wife of mujahedeen” and

“If your husband becomes a shahid, what are the rewards for you?”

Some of the searches were done a few days before Tsarnaev went to Russia in January 2012, and another was done when he was in Russia.

Mujahedeen is the Arabic word for holy warrior; shahid is a term for a martyr, specifically one who dies during a holy war.

Three people were killed and more than 260 were wounded when the Tsarnaev brothers set off two pressure-cooker bombs packed with shrapnel near the marathon’s finish line on April 15, 2013. Prosecu-

tors have said the attack was designed to retaliate against the U.S. for wars in Muslim countries.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, who was born in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan, was convicted this month of all 30 charges against him. A jury must now decide whether he should be sentenced to life in prison or execution.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was killed during a shootout with police days after the bombings.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s lawyers have argued that Tamerlan led Dzhokhar, then 19, down the path to terrorism.

They say Tamerlan became radicalized, and his wife, an American from Rhode Island, showed signs of becoming a religious fanatic.

Russell’s name came up Monday, the first day for the defense to present its case in the penalty phase of Dzhokhar’s trial. Her best friend, Gina Crawford, testified that she texted Russell the day of the bombings to ask if she was OK. Crawford said Russell texted her back, saying she was fine and as far as she knew, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was at home in Cambridge at the time of the attacks.

Crawford said Russell

then added a curious statement, texting, “a lot more people are killed every day in Syria and in other places.”

She wrote in another text: “Innocent people.”

Amato DeLuca, an attorney for Russell and her family, has said repeatedly that Russell didn’t suspect her husband of anything before the bombings and nothing seemed amiss afterward.

DeLuca told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he and Russell have not heard from federal officials in more than a year and that she hadn’t been informed she was a target of any investigation. DeLuca said

Washington attorney Douglas Hallward-Driemeier, speaks with reporters outside the Supreme Court in Washington, Tuesday, April 28, after arguing that states must recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere before the court.

ap

After historic arguments, court to rule on same-sex marriage WASHINGTON (AP) — Pivotal Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote could decide the same-sex marriage issue for the nation, did not tip his hand Tuesday in historic arguments at the Supreme Court. But Kennedy’s record on the issue could give encouragement to gay and lesbian couples.

As advocates and protesters demonstrated outside, the author of the court’s three prior gay rights rulings talked about the touchstones of dignity and concern for children in same-sex households that drove his favorable earlier opinions.

But he also worried about changing the definition of marriage from the union of a man and a woman, a meaning that he said has existed for “millennia-plus time.”

“It’s very difficult for the court to say ‘We know better’” after barely a decade of experience with samesex marriage in the United States, Kennedy told Mary Bonauto, a lawyer representing same-sex couples.

The 78-year-old justice’s

likely role as a key, perhaps decisive vote was reinforced during arguments that lasted 2½ hours in a rapt courtroom and appeared to divide the court’s liberal and conservative justices over whether the Constitution gives same-sex couples the right to marry. Those couples can do so now in 36 states and the District of Columbia, and the court is weighing whether gay and lesbian unions should be allowed in all 50 states.

“Same-sex couples say, of course, ‘We understand the nobility and the sacredness of marriage. We know we can’t procreate, but we want the other attributes of it in order to show that we, too, have a dignity that can be fulfilled,’” Kennedy said in an exchange with lawyer John Bursch, who was defending the state marriage bans Later, Kennedy also seemed concerned about adopted children in samesex households if only one partner is considered a parent. “Under your view, it would be very difficult for same-sex couples to adopt

rected solely at him,” Douglas said.

Douglas said that over time, friction developed between Tamerlan and the gym’s staff because Tamerlan would wear street shoes on the mats, take other fighters’ equipment without permission and disrupt class by being loud.

Three days before the bombings, the gym’s general manager emailed the owner to complain about Tamerlan’s behavior, Douglas said.

The jury was shown a short video from that day, showing Tamerlan in the boxing ring with Dzhokhar and a third man. Tamerlan and the other man are warming up, but Dzhokhar mainly just rests against the ring’s ropes. At one point, Tamerlan throws a pair of boxer’s hand wraps at Dzhokhar.

Dzhokhar’s attorney David Bruck said in opening statements that Dzhokhar was “a good kid” who was led astray by his increasingly fanatical brother. Prosecutors have painted Tsarnaev as an unrepentant killer who deserves to be executed.

Continued from page 1 he’s at home.”

Russell now lives in New Jersey with the 4-year-old daughter she had with Tamerlan. She moved there to be closer to the Tsarnaevs’ two sisters.

Russell’s mother, Judith Russell, testified Monday that she and her husband weren’t happy when Katherine began dating Tamerlan Tsarnaev. She said Tamerlan became increasingly strident about religion and the U.S. On Tuesday, Tsarnaev’s lawyers also focused on Tamerlan’s skills as a boxer and his anger when he was told he couldn’t advance beyond regional tournaments because he wasn’t a U.S. citizen.

Brandon Douglas, a mixed martial arts fighter who worked out with Tamerlan at a Boston gym, said Tamerlan took the exclusion personally.

“He expressed frustration that they wouldn’t allow him entry and that he felt that it was an intentional slight di-

those children,” Kennedy said.

Tuesday’s arguments offered the first public indication of where the justices stand in the dispute over whether states can continue defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman, or whether the Constitution gives gay and lesbian couples the right to marry. In the court’s last look at same-sex marriage in 2013, the justices struck down part of the federal anti-gay marriage law. Federal courts with few exceptions have relied on Kennedy’s opinion in that case to invalidate gay marriage bans in state after state.

The court divided 5-4 in that case, with the liberals joining Kennedy in the majority. Their questions on Tuesday suggested they would vote to extend samesex marriage nationwide, while conservative justices’ questions and comments were much more skeptical.

Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor both said marriage was a fundamental right and a state would need a truly compelling reason to deny it to a class of people. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said heterosexual couples would retain the same marriage benefits they currently have, whether or not same-sex couples also could marry.

Bursch argued repeatedly that states could prohibit same-sex unions be-

cause marriage always has been about biological bonds between parents and their children.

Justice Elena Kagan said some people have difficulty with that argument, finding it “hard to see how permitting samesex marriage discourages people from being bonded with their biological children.”

If the definition of marriage is changed, Bursch said, “then adults could think, rightly, that this relationship is more about adults and not about the kids.”

The actual cases before the court involve samesex couples in which both partners want recognition as adoptive parents. In one case, Detroit-area nurses April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse are seeking joint adoption of their four children, and Bursch was quick to say he was not talking about them.

“We all agree that they are bonded to their kids and have their best interest at heart,” he said.

Most of the questions from conservative justices appeared skeptical of gaymarriage arguments.

Chief Justice Roberts said gay couples seeking to marry are not seeking to join the institution of marriage.

“You’re seeking to change what the institution is,” he said to Bonauto.

Roberts also said people would be more accepting of

change achieved through the democratic process, rather than imposed by courts. Only 11 states have granted marriage rights to same-sex couples through the ballot or the legislature.

Court rulings are responsible for all the others.

Yet the chief justice also questioned the states’ argument.

“If Sue loves Joe and Tom loves Joe, Sue can marry him and Tom can’t. Why isn’t that a straightforward question of sexual discrimination?” he asked.

Justice Samuel Alito suggested that basing marriage on lasting bonds and emotional commitment — instead of providing stable homes for children — might open the right to marry to siblings who live together, close friends who are not romantically or sexually involved and groups of more than two people. “What would be the logic of denying them the same right?”

Alito asked.

Justice Antonin Scalia said he worried that a court decision in favor of samesex marriage would force ministers to stop officiating at weddings altogether if they refused to perform same-sex weddings. Bonauto and some of Scalia’s colleagues tried to persuade him that ministers have a right to refuse any couple for religious reasons.

Scalia also said the issue is not whether there

should be same-sex marriage “but who should decide the point,” embracing the states’ argument.

Justice Clarence Thomas asked no questions, as is his custom.

The session was interrupted once by a protester who yelled that supporters of gay marriage “will burn in hell.” He was removed by security.

In the last part of the session, devoted to whether states have to recognize same-sex marriages from elsewhere, both Kennedy and Roberts directed skeptical questions to a lawyer for same-sex couples, Douglas Hallward-Driemeier.

Why should one state “have to yield” in recognizing a marriage from another state? Kennedy asked.

And Roberts suggested that states’ rights would be undermined if residents of states that forbid samesex unions could get married elsewhere, then return home and demand recognition.

“One state would basically set the policy for the entire nation,” he said.

People on both sides of the issue gathered outside the marble courthouse.

“Homo sex is a sin,” read one sign. A man shouted into a microphone that gays violate the laws of God, while a group of same-sex advocates tried to drown him out by singing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Cilento of the Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources was in attendance to “push the big red button.”

The team hopes to continue expanding in both size and recognition. They built this year’s rocket large enough for them to build an even bigger motor next year, which will allow them to compete in the advanced section of the competition.

“It’s exciting, it’s loud,

which is half of the excitement, and there’s danger in rocketry of course, but it’s a lot safer and it’s more doable than people expect it to be,” Schultz said. “All the technology we have these days, from cell phones to satellites, the only reason they are what they are is because rockets put them in space and rockets put them in orbit.”

The end goal for the rocketry club is to both build and learn as much

about rockets as they can while informing the public about this exciting topic.

Tim Fritz, the president of the rocketry club and a mechanical and aerospace engineering student, said he hopes the club can eventually help other clubs launch their experiments into orbit without the help of NASA or other private space organizations.

said in an email. “As an African-American, she was educated in segregated schools and went to start her college career at an all-black university, but was unable to finish due to family hardships.

Many years later, she went on to become the Mayor of Morgantown for many years and most recently served in the West Virginia House of Delegates.”

Many of the speakers are either alumni, have worked for the University or have

other ties to WVU. Elisabeth Shelton, associate dean of academics for the School of Nursing will be speaking for their graduation ceremony and said she is excited to do so.

“I am going to be retiring this year. I’ve been a nurse for 43 years and I have lots of different roles in nursing, not just in academia but in practice as well,” Shelton said. “I think it’s a good opportunity to be able to talk to the graduates about all levels... to give them some inspiration not just to settle on the first thing that comes to mind with nursing, but to keep a broad perspective and to try to keep their minds open so they can have a long fulfilling career.”

A few of the commencement speakers will also be receiving “Honorary Degrees.” WVU will award five of these degrees, including a “Presidential Honorary Degree” to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services

Sylvia Mathews Burwell at Eberly College of Arts and Sciences’ commencement.

“An honorary degree is an award given to people that have been nominated, people of distinction in their academics, or in service to the state, or have shown distinction in their profession,” Hoover said. “They are nominated by either members of the faculty or deans to be especially recognized in the commencement ceremonies.”

No matter which college or speaker the graduates will be listening to, Hoover says graduation will be exciting for all.

“It never gets old. It’s really exciting to see all of the graduates and how excited they are,” Hoover said.

“It’s just a really happy time and it’s nice to see the parents and families celebrate with all of them. It’s just a big deal.”

Hello, Summer: Tune into this season’s sickest playlist Chelsea walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

You’ve made it. Another semester is over, which means you’re probably selling back all of those books for half of what you paid for them in the first place and now seeking whatever fun adventures await you this summer. Regardless of what your summer bucket list has in store, this playlist is guaranteed to provide you the ultimate soundtrack for summer.

1. Kygo & Dillon Francis – “Coming Over” With a shimmery and climatic bass, Kygo and Francis crafted up a beat fit for frolicking in the sunshine.

Remixing James Hershey’s catchy “Coming Over,” Francis and Kygo created a beat that is buoyant and lively for your summer shenanigans.

2.

Betty Who – “All of You” 3.

Karen Harding – “Say Something” 4.

Action Bronson – “Easy Rider” Who wouldn’t want to “ride a Harley into the sunset” this summer? Our favorite, and quite possibly the one and only, red-bearded rapper has plowed into the hip-hop industry daunting a serious

set of swift spitting skills.

“Easy Rider” is a mesh of ‘90s inspired rap and southern rock to really amp up this summer soundtrack.

5.

Childish Gambino – “Money Baby” 6.

Major Lazer & DJ Snake ft. MØ – “Lean On” 7.

Eric Prydz v Chvrches – “Tether” Eric Prydz has been concocting EDM masterpieces such as “Call on Me,” since 2004. The Swedish DJ remixed Chvrches’ “Tether,” to create a lethal dose of electronic nostalgia just in time for summer. Chvrches’ lead lady Lauren Mayberry’s airy vocals and Prydz’s typical dance kick give this song a heavenly and harmonious summery feel.

8. Skizzy Mars – “Lucy (Olivver Remix)” 9. Jess Glynne – “Hold My Hand” You’ve most likely already heard Jess Glynne’s seriously stacked vocals in her collaborations with Clean Bandit, but this summer Glynne’s taking her soulful voice solo. As if you were rollerblading into a rink, “Hold My Hand” pairs a ‘70s disco feel with a modern electronic twist. Glynne’s solo stint has something in common with our summer vacation: We cannot wait to see what more is in store.

10. Kenny Chesney –

“American Kids” Kenny Chesney is known for his many token anthems of the summer and now, we can add “American Kids” to that list. This tune screams of country summer, with lyrics that ode Springsteen, The Rolling Stones and American kids themselves.

Milky Chance to pour their musical mimosa for Pittsburgh Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyAthenaeum

Folk-pop duo Milky Chance and alternative rock trio Mighty Oaks will perform at Pittsburgh’s famous Stage AE at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 30th.

Milky Chance, made up of Kassel, Germany, natives Clemens Rehbein and Philipp Dausch, made their musical debut in early 2013.

Rehbein first began playing guitar at the age of 12, and played bass in a jazz band for years. At his parents’ house, Rehbein created his own home recording and rehearsing studio. There, Rehbein would work on originally crafted tracks, particularly instrumental, completely from scratch.

Rehbein became very interested in songwriting and recording through his time rehearsing at home, with the strong support of friend Dausch. At the time, Rehbein didn’t think about what people would think of his music or where it would get him. He instead focused on his love for music and his creative

expression.

When Clemens completed the writing and recording process, he uploaded them onto YouTube. Within a short amount of time upon uploading the tracks, the song “Stolen Dance” had garnered over half a million “clicks,” entering the Ger-

man charts at number 78.

All of this was made possible without any promotion at all. With YouTube views came many more followers who then shared the video with their followers.

From there, Milky Chance would become a YouTube sensation and earn Internet fame by summer.

In June of that year, Milky Chance became the most blogged about artist worldwide according to Hype Machine. While many major record labels offered to work with the duo, both Rehbein and Dausch decided to go their own way and create their own label, entitled, “Lich-

tdicht Records,” with close friends.

Lichtdicht released the album “Sadnecessary” in May 2013. Since its release, Milky Chance has received positive feedback regarding its musical works.

The song “Stolen Dance” won “Best Single” at 1Live Krone, and won the award

for “Best Album” at the European Border Breakers Awards. Milky Chance has been nominated for other categories as well, including “Best Band,” “Best German Act” and “Best International Act.” Many students from West Virginia University look forward to hearing more from Milky Chance, as well as plan to make the trek to Pittsburgh to see the band perform.

“I always felt that this genre of music and melody always appealed to me; one of the reasons is because I feel that the lyrics usually carry more weight than a lot of what’s out there today,” said WVU student Steven Choi. “I like Milky Chance’s ‘Stolen Dance,’ it has a good melody.”

The show begins at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online through Ticketmaster, with options as low as $36. While the venue seats over 7,900 people, shows at Stage AE often sell out. Concertgoers are strongly advised to purchase tickets ahead of time. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Ex Machina is subtle, grim delight Mulligan stuns in Hardy novel film

By Westley Thompson Associate A&E editor @westleyt93

The Turing test is a test used to judge a machine’s artificial intelligence. A person holds a written conversation with a computer program. They do not know if they are talking to another person or a machine and must decide what it is they are speaking to. If the person believes they are talking to another human, the machine passes the test and is considered to be displaying human behavior. A complex form of this test is what protagonist Caleb Smith is tasked with in the new movie “Ex Machina.”

Caleb is a programmer at Bluebook, a fictional search engine company which is the most popular in the world. He wins a company lottery, receiving a weeklong trip to meet the company’s brilliant and eccentric CEO, Nathan Bateman.

Nathan’s estate is vast and secluded, a hybrid mansion-lab set deep in a pristine mountain range.

Shortly after arriving at the mansion Nathan offers Caleb a unique opportunity.

In his seclusion, Nathan has built an advanced android named Ava; he wants Caleb to help administer a sort of Turing test to the robot. Caleb agrees and meets Ava. The rest of the movie becomes a mind-bending thriller from there.

“Ex Machina” is a brilliantly written, surreal masterpiece. Although deeply rooted in science fiction, the

movie never loses the audience with techno mumbo jumbo. Instead it draws the viewer in with its intense and multidimensional characters.

The entire cast consists of only three speaking characters, so the writer couldn’t afford having a flat plot-advancer cast. All three characters, Caleb, Nathan and even the android Ava have many different emotions and motivations behind what they do. Everyone feels and acts real. Often a character’s greatest obstacle is themselves, their conflicting thoughts and the decisions they have to make. Ava, a machine whose humanity is the central question for the other two characters, is perhaps the most complex character of the three. She displays a dizzying array of emotion, and manipulative tendencies.

Another of the film’s strengths is its subtlety. Early on it’s obvious something is wrong. Nathan seems like a pleasant guy but something is off about him. However, this man’s disturbances are revealed through tiny hints, doled out to the audience just often enough for them to remain hooked while remaining unsure of what exactly is wrong. When the climax of the film hits and it’s revealed exactly what has been going on at Nathan’s estate, the audience almost feels physically punched in the gut.

The soundtrack is instrumental to the film’s grim subtlety. The score consists of moody, surreal, elec-

freepresshouston.com

tronic music that hums and beeps in such a way that it causes the audience’s hearts to race during even the most placid scenes.

Humorous moments can be found throughout the film. “Ex Machina” offers the viewer respite from its masterfully claustrophobic atmosphere and plot so as not to wear them out. Nathan’s drinking problem is serious and hints at severe inner demons, but can be humorous to watch as he stumbles around in a blind stupor. The characters also joke around with each other, adding humor to the movie and making the characters more realistic.

The ending is both amazing and incredibly unnerving.

There is nothing negative to say about “Ex Machina.”

The movie is flawless in every way. The plot and characters are well written, the acting is great and the set pieces are amazing. “Ex Machina” is a must see film.

Five stars out of five. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

Carey Mulligan's face could easily be a liability.

From her delicately dimpled cheeks, sad almond eyes and doughy expressiveness, her innocent beauty is one that might have condemned her to silly high school roles even at 29.

Whether she's jumping into Daisy Buchanan's gowns or performing a haunting rendition of "New York, New York," she always manages to use that rare combination of youth and worldliness to make roles her own. The story is no different in Thomas Vinterberg's adaptation of the 1874 Thomas Hardy novel "Far From the Madding Crowd," where Mulligan plays Bathsheba Everdene.

Julie Christie may have given her own spirit to the vivacious farm girl turned landowner in 1967, but after watching Mulligan transform once again, it seems there isn't a modern actress on the market who is so uniquely up to the task of bringing Bathsheba back to life.

When her character head held high - tells her inherited workers calmly and assertively that it is "her intention to astonish you all," it's impossible not to feel tremors of excitement. You believe her.

Indeed, the most astonishing aspect of "Far From the Madding Crowd" is that Hardy's depiction of a free-willed woman attempting to establish herself professionally is not all

that dated, even over 140 years later. While Danish director Vinterberg ("The Hunt") took pains to recreate Hardy's imagined setting, shooting in the unchanged English countryside, the themes and emotions throughout are resonant and alarmingly modern.

Vinterberg and his actors don't let the antiquated mores upstage the truth and humanity behind every interaction.

The heart of the story is Bathsheba's relationships with her three suitors: The loyal sheep farmer Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), the timid and mannered William Boldwood (Michael Sheen) and the rakish, petulant Sergeant Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge).

After a youth spent in near poverty, Bathsheba inherits a farm from her deceased uncle that she chooses to manage without the help of a man. Proposals come with alarming frequency, but, knowing her fortune in having financial independence, Bathsheba takes her time in considering (and often rejecting) her stable of prospects. She does not toy with the men either, as every decision - and every mistake - is made with complete honesty.

While Sheen is appealing as Boldwood and Sturridge gets the most showy moments to play with (including the famous swordplay flirtation), it is Belgian actor Schoenaerts

who upstages the others in his role as Gabriel Oak. Part of that is because the filmmakers decided that Bathsheba and Gabriel's evolving friendship would be the driving narrative. But, Schoenaerts also has that rare combination of charisma and understated grace that makes even a half-realized accent forgivable.

Touted as a romance, "Far From the Madding Crowd" succeeds thematically because it isn't entirely about finding love as we've come to understand it in the movies. It acknowledges and embraces the complications of living a life and is more interested in Bathsheba's evolution as a person.

Also, Vinterberg's classical, pastoral aesthetic recalls the heyday of the Merchant Ivory films, without the corny sentimentality of their lesser imitators.

If costume dramas aren't your cup of tea, "Far From the Madding Crowd" is unlikely to convince otherwise. But, perhaps a generation of girls who adore "The Hunger Games'" Katniss Everdeen might find themselves interested enough to dive into the world of the heroine who inspired their modern idol.

"Far From the Madding Crowd," a Fox Searchlight release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "some sexuality and violence."

Running time: 119 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Donating wisely aids more in need An earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale devastated parts of Nepal, India and Bangladesh last Saturday. The number of deaths counted as of yesterday morning were 4,600, but some estimates of the total number of casualties reach 10,000. Drone video footage of the devastation posted online displayed the sheer amount of damage Nepal’s capital city Kathmandu experienced to other parts of the world.

Facebook users may have seen a small alert on the site over the past few days encouraging monetary donations for the disaster relief.

The notification features a

small Donate button where users can choose to give money to the International Medical Corps, a nonprofit which dispatches various aid efforts to the survivors of natural disasters.

Though the notification may be easy to ignore, its message is important.

Kathmandu and its surrounding areas may seem worlds away from Morgantown, but every student at West Virginia University today has access to basic resources survivors of the earthquake may not currently have, such as clean drinking water, food and shelter. This editorial board believes donating to trustworthy nonprofits online is

an easy and effective way to contribute meaningfully in worldwide relief efforts.

That being said, what constitutes “trustworthy” is still up for debate. Nonprofits are often subject to many disappointing pitfalls, which can unfortunately include spending more money on fundraising than on actually helping their cause.

It’s also important to consider if important information, such as where donated money specifically goes and how soon it makes it to its destination, is offered to the general public.

For example, it’s not widely known that money donated to the American Red Cross

Websites like Give.org display the spending records of nonprofits and rate their effectiveness on a strict list of guidelines, which can help students donate more efficiently.

This editorial board encourages students to consider donating to those in need, but to do so in an informed manner.

Analyzing dead week: Seven days of the walking dead Elise Cowgill Columnist @Cecowgill

It’s that time of the semester once again.

Classes are drawing to a close, stress is coming to a high and averages are being calculated to the tenth of a point in order to see what students must score on remaining assignments to avoid the fate of having to repeat classes or succumbing to one lower letter grade.

Books that haven’t been picked up since m i d t e r m s a re b e i n g dusted off, classmates to whom we’ve spoken once are being emailed to solicit notes and Wikipedia hits are going upexponentially.

Lists are being made of the last handfuls of assignments, days are being counted down on calendars and in planners, and the draw of the sun at day and the bars at night are becoming harder and harder to resist, no matter how deeply in our souls we know we ought to be in class or studying our final days away in the library.

It can only mean one thing: Dead week is upon us.

Dead week—the week meant to be free of tests, assignments, papers, exams, quizzes, presentations and homework.

Clubs don’t meet, student activities don’t take place and Universitysponsored social activities such as WVUp All Night cease to exist.

The week is one meant to be dedicated toward complete and abso-

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Students fill the computers in the Downtown Campus Library during dead week. lute focus on final exams without the distraction of other academic challenge.

More or less, dead week is a joke. The week once meant to make the campus still as a graveyard has transformed into a time of the semester in which the students are truly the walking dead.

Not once in my five years at West Virginia Un i v e r s i t y ha s d e a d week proven to be anything more than the week of hell in which every single semester, there are a thousand assignments weighted upon you.

Technically, dead week

is only supposed to prohibit professors from introducing new material, but I know I speak for more than myself when I say even that limitation is not one to which instructors adhere.

I have two courses in which I am currently enrolled where there will be lectures on new mate r ia l d u r i ng t h i s week.

As if that w eren’t enough, the loophole exists that it can’t be “new” material. Therefore, it does nothing to p ro h i b i t a s s ig n m e nt s being due during that time—so long as they have been assigned long before.

Many professors, either in the interest of “doing students a favor” or because they don’t wish to grade them, are moving to final papers and exams during dead week.

It makes their lives easier because it gives them more time to get grades in, and hypothetically, if it were only one or two professors, it would make student lives easier because we wouldn’t have 4, 5 or even 6 finals to study for in the course of a single week.

Un f o r t u nat e l y , t h i s isn’t thecase.

Instead, the week originally intended to help students get the best possible grades on their fi-

nals and close the semester strongly has become a week wracked with assignments.

In another issue altogether, many students are leaving their apartments or residence halls hours after their last final exam.

The added pressure of so many end-of-semester assignments leaves little to no time to pack up belongings and say goodbye to friends.

While this may seem trivial, professors notice time and time again how attendance drops during this last week of classes— something that can have negative effects, as many of these last class sessions double as reviews

or study groups.

With so many deadlines looming and so much to do, there is an inherent need to prioritize, and sometimes class just doesn’t make the cut.

If we’re going to call a spade a spade, it’s time for West Virginia University and other academic institutions at large to redefine and more closely monitor dead week and its restrictions.

For the best academic performance and success of students everywhere, this slowed down week before finals is crucial and should be a matter of requirement. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The benefits of organ donation: A recipient’s personal account Lacy Neff Guest Columnist

On October 2, 2013, I was diagnosed with a rare disease. I’ll never forget the look on the doctor at Allegheny General in Pittsburgh’s face when he said, “You have amyloidosis, and whatever you do, don’t read about it on the internet because it will scare you to death.” Amyloidosis is a disease which causes amyloid protein buildup in certain organs. He referred me to a specialist he knew at Cleveland Clinic, who told me the amyloidosis was attacking my heart. My heart at the time was only operating at 12 percent, and the doctor said I would be lucky to live two weeks.

They started treatment right away with chemotherapy and took a bone marrow biopsy. To make matters worse, they also determined I had multiple myeloma—a type of

Organ donors have saved countless lives. cancer that affects plasma cells in the blood. Since there had never been a heart transplant performed on a person who had both, they told me the only chance I had to get one was at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston if they would take my case.

They luckily accepted me, and after months of testing and being on medicine to keep my heart functioning

in their Intensive Care Unit, I was one of the lucky ones to receive a heart.

I received my new heart April 28, 2014, but that was just the half of it. I still needed a stem cell transplant to tr y to wipe out as much of the amyloidosis as they could and to get rid of the multiple myeloma.

I received the stem cell transplant on March 5, 2015, and am still recov-

ering. I am proud to say I am the very first amyloidosis/multiple myeloma patient in the world who has received not only a heart transplant, but also a stem cell transplant.

As of today there are over 124,000 people waiting for an worgan donation. However, there are not many registered donors. One donor can save the lives of up to eight people, but unfortunately

there are thousands of people who die waiting for a donor that never comes. You can register at the Department of Motor Vehicles or do so online, but make sure to discuss your wishes to be an organ donor with your family so when the time comes, there are no questions about your intentions to be a donor. By doing this, you give people like me and thousands of others a second chance at life.

Donors are heroes.

Here is a stranger, some-

one you’ve never met, giving you the greatest gift someone can give another person: The gift of a second chance at life. They give a chance at more time with your family and friends, another day to live and enjoy all the things you may have taken for granted before.I can honestly say I never have to hit the lottery, but thanks to my donor and their family’s decision, I already did. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A healthy diet to maximize the effects of your workout Caitlin Worrell A&E editor @dailyathenaeum

While much of your fitness is achieved at the gym, your post workout routine can be just as impactful.

It’s not a secret that your diet is the key to maintaining progress. Many college students struggle to keep a balanced diet on a packed schedule and an empty wallet.

It’s easy to run through a drive-thru or toss that frozen dinner in the microwave but your post workout munchies may be holding you back. Proper nourishment after the gym is essential for replenish-

ing your muscles, which are drained of protein during your workout. Here are a few cheap, easy post-gym foods to help boost your protein level and maintain your long-term fitness goals.

Greek Yogurt – Yogurt is light and easy to take or get on the go. Greek yogurt is especially beneficial to your health as it has double the amount of protein as regular yogurt.

It is also a great source of carbohydrates, which can help boost your energy level after you leave the gym. Toss in some berries if you’re looking for a little extra flavor and nutrition.

Fruit Salad – Your mom

told you to always eat your fruits and veggies and she was right.

There is nothing better than a simple fruit salad to help replenish your body’s nutrients. Besides being loaded with healthy carbs, enzymes in fruit can actually help relieve tension and soreness. Pineapple is particularly high in anti-inflammatory enzymes, making it the perfect post-gym snack for your fatigued muscles.

Whole Grain Cereal – Cereal is a super fast option for students who eat on the go. Toss some in a Ziploc and you have the perfect snack to pull out in class. Choose a cereal that

is high in either fiber or protein to maximize your vitamin intake. The quick carb kick will help reload muscle energy stores.

Make a meal out of it by adding milk or even fresh fruit.

Tuna Fish – Though it may be a bit of an acquired taste, tuna fish is an affordable option for students looking to increase their protein intake. Tuna is a great post-gym snack because it is very low in calories but high in protein and carbs. Use a lowfat mayo to make a simple salad, which tastes great on sandwich wraps or whole-wheat crackers. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Tuna is a healthy and versatile source of protein.

Rock ‘n’ roll band The Clarks will play at Schmitt’s Saloon this Friday

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Pittsburgh based band The Clarks will bring rock ‘n’ roll to Schmitt’s Saloon on Friday, May 1.

The concert begins at 10:00 p.m. and will feature Bastard Bearded Irishmen as the opening act. Tickets are $20 if pre-ordered and $25 at the door. Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite. Visit the official Schmitt’s Saloon page to find the direct link.

In the small town of Indiana, Pa., Indiana University of Pennsylvania students Rob James and Dave Minarik had more on their mind than their college studies. Their mutual passion for music geared their decision to form a band on their college campus. With James on guitar, and Minarik on drums, the two needed to recruit new musicians on the journey to complete their own band.

James and Minarik came across vocalist Scott Blasey, a bass player named Mike and another friend to play saxophone, to form the

razorandtiemusicpublishing.com

The Clarks will play in Morgantown this weekend. band The Administration.

James recruited Blasey after hearing from a mutual friend that he played a couple of Neil Young tunes at a bar uptown.

The band played throughout the semester, particularly at fraternities, performing covers by U2, the Cure, Joe Jackson and more. After spring semester, the band’s

sax player graduated and bass player transferred.

In 1986, the fragmented Administration gained bass guitarist Greg Joseph. After Joseph joined the group, they decided it was a necessity to give the band a new name to go along with the renovated group. One of the band members mentioned the name “The Clarks,”

and it struck a chord for the other members. At the time, like the band itself, the name was not seen as a permanent thing.

From there, the band began writing its own original songs and went from landing second place in a band competition in Pittsburgh, to recording in the studio, all while building a fan base

and recognition.

“I would describe our music as American Guitar Rock,” Joseph said.

Since the band’s formation, The Clarks have released nine studio albums, including “I’ll Tell You What Man…” (1988), “Let It Go,” (2000) and “Fast Moving Cars,” (2004) as well as made several tours.

Some of the band’s most prominent appearances include musical appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman, the 2011 NHL Winter Classic and ESPN’s Cold Pizza.

“I think at this point our biggest accomplishment is our longevity, really. We’ve been together for quite a while, the same four guys.

We went from going to college together to doing what we’re doing now,” Joseph said.

The band will primarily be performing songs from its latest record, “Feathers & Bones,” as well as some of the band’s more classic songs.

“Aside from performing the songs from our latest album, we have a new cover CD coming out in June, entitled, ‘Rewind.’ The album will feature cover songs by R.E.M., The Replacements and Rolling Stones,” Joseph said.

Within the next two years, the band plans to produce another original album. In the meantime, The Clarks continue on its “Feathers & Bones” tour. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

New armor suit for a new Batman Suzanne Crough found dead in Nev Move over, Br uce Wayne: There’s going to be a new Batman fighting crime in Gotham City for DC Comics, and instead of a cape, he’ll wear a manga-style suit of armor.

The creators of Batman are dethroning Wayne and bringing in a new Dark Knight as DC Comics begins to gear up for the annual Free Comic Book Day giveaways.

Author Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo won’t say who will be armored cowl in Batman (hash)41 - the cape is also retired along with Bruce Wayne but say this is one of those stories that “changes all the pieces on the table.”

“The character we’re putting under the cowl never expected it, never saw it coming and never set out to be Batman,” Snyder said. “It comes out of left field, and he realizes that he’s the only one that can make it make sense.”

Wayne ends his run as Batman following a climactic battle with his archenemy the Joker in the appropriately named storyline “Endgame,” but it doesn’t mean he’s gone for good, said Snyder (he has relinquished his role as Batman at twice before) .

“He might not be under the cowl when the story starts but his presence will be a big part of the story and shape it,” Snyder said.

Batman is one of the most enduring comic book superheroes, star of a long-running comic book, television series and movies -with the “Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice” movie scheduled for next year.

Any kind of change to the character’s mythos can be risky. But Snyder and Capullo - who designed the new armor say their intention is to inject new interest into the Dark Knight comic books by putting a new person into the role.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The youngest daughter on hit 1970s television show “The Partridge Family” has died.

Suzanne Crough Condray, who played Tracy Partridge, was found dead Monday night at home in Laughlin, near Las Vegas.

She was 52.

Her husband, William Condray, said his wife was a patient and loving wife, mother and grandmother.

“She was madly in love with her granddaughter,” Condray said of their 1-year-old granddaughter, Evelena.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg (FYOU’den-berg) said Tuesday that an autopsy was scheduled Wednesday. Her cause of death is pending the results of forensic laboratory testing.

The child actress was featured on “The Partridge Family,” which ran on ABC from September 1970 to March 1974.

The show revolved around a widowed mother and her five children who formed a band. The series starred Shirley Jones, with her real-life stepson David Cassidy as the resident heartthrob.

Crough as Tracy played the tambourine as a member of the TV family’s band. She was often the warm backdrop that set up the zingers flung out by her on-screen brother Danny, played by Danny Bonaduce.

She also appeared in commercials as a child but largely stayed out of the limelight as an adult, according to IMDB.com.

The former actress did attend the occasional “Partridge Family” reunion, including interviews and other celebrations.

Crough lived for years in her native California with her husband and two daughters, including a first-born who she said looked just like her, ac-

Her tearful husband said Tuesday that he met his wife decades ago, starting as friends before dating. The couple had plans to mark their anniversary this summer.

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Tonight: Enjoy every moment.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Generally your communication excels, but when others remain nonresponsive, you can get very upset. What you choose to do is likely to shake up the status quo, but it might not draw the response you desire. Tempers suddenly could flare up. Tonight: You need to relax a little.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Listen to a loved one before you make a decision. Someone might be whispering gossip in your ear rather than facts.

Go directly to the source. Remain on top of what you need to do. Express your feelings in a way in which they can be heard. Tonight: Respond to a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH A caring gesture will warm up emotional waters. You can be direct as long as you are nonjudgmental and exhibit depth and caring. A friendship will allow you to spread your wings and understand others better. Let your fun side emerge.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be past the point of no return. Your ability to have a discussion despite someone’s manipulation and some excess anger might surprise even you. You tend to understand this person better than he or she understands him- or herself. Tonight: Say little for now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Much is happening behind the scenes.

The less you say, the more information you will get. Someone who cares a lot about you might not be able to express it. Be kind to this person, as you don’t get friends like this very often. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Someone you need to answer to or who can cause commotion in your life could be quite enthralled with what you are doing. This person might be unwilling to share his or her thoughts.

Pressure builds around a decision.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might not realize how important you

are to someone. As a result, you could feel left out. Make a call to a loved one and have a long-overdue discussion. Be aware that communication is off right now. Proceed with care. Tonight: Be more forthright.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your understanding of others easily could pay off. A friend will seem calculating and cool, but he or she could be quite emotional. You’ll see through this person’s defenses, but you might choose to not let him or her know. Tonight: Buy a token of affection for a loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You could feel as if a boss or an associate tends to be overbearing. You might

TOUGH RIVAL LOSS

West Virginia drops mid-week game against Marshall, 3-2 last night by david statman

associate sports editor @djstatman77

Losing to your in-state rival is never a good thing for your pride, and even less so for your postseason chances, as the West Virginia University baseball team found out Tuesday night, when they fell 3-2 to the Marshall Thundering Herd at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W.Va. It was a reversal of the scoreline that saw the Mountaineers over Marshall at the Monongalia County Ballpark exactly one week before, ensuring that the diamond version of the Friends of Coal Bowl would end up a 1-1 split this year.

Both teams sent out the same two starters that toed the rubber in Morgantown: Freshman righty Shane En-

nis for West Virginia and senior Josh King for Marshall. Ennis took the loss after a brief outing, lasting only two innings and allowing all three Marshall runs.

“We tell our guys all of the time that the time to get to a starting pitcher is early before he settles in and (Ennis) gave up a bunch of hits with two strikes, some of them on 0-2 counts that were right down the middle,” said Mountaineer head coach Randy Mazey in an interview with WVUsports.com. “It’s part of being a freshman, you learn from stuff like that. The best way to learn is to fail and lose and he failed tonight with some of his pitches.

That’s a great learning experience for him as long as he takes it the right way.”

With two on and two out in the second inning, Marshall catcher Matt Reed

knocked in the first of the Herd’s runs with an RBI single, and things quickly came undone for West Virginia.

Right fielder Robert Fajardo, the next man up, slapped a base hit to make it 2-0, and a throwing error by Mountaineer center fielder KC Huth allowed Reed to scamper over to third—Reed would soon score on a wild pitch from Ennis, and the three runs turned out to be all Marshall would need.

West Virginia rallied to get two of those runs back in the 6th inning. King was chased from the game after allowing a leadoff home run to second baseman Shaun Corso, his second of the season, and an RBI single to left fielder Kyle Davis, but lefty Caleb Ross—himself a transfer from WVU— managed to get the hot-hit-

ting Shaun Wood to pop up and end the inning.

The Mountaineers managed to get the tying run on base twice in the last two innings, but both times failed to bring him home.

Corso reached base to start the eighth inning on a throwing error, but was caught too far off first and tagged out.

West Virginia got the leadoff man on in the ninth inning as well, on a base hit by first baseman Jackson Cramer, but Kyle Davis grounded into a double play to end the threat.

Meanwhile, Mountaineer freshman Adam Keller turned in one of his strongest outings of the season, throwing six innings of scoreless, one-hit relief. Less than a year after undergoing Tommy John surgery, Josh King nabbed his first win of the season,

throwing 5.2 innings and allowing two runs on four hits with six strikeouts.

With his team not off to a good start to the midweek slate, and with a road date with a strong Radford team looming today at 2 p.m., Mazey said he’ll be looking to switch some things in the hopes that his team can get a critical win.

“Baseball people are superstitious people by nature,” Mazey said. “I’m going to put the other sock on the other foot tomorrow when I wake up and see if we play any better tomorrow because of it.”

Currently tied for first place in the Big South with a conference record of 14-4 (28-14 overall), the Radford Highlanders will be one of the toughest nonconference teams West Virginia has faced this season.

Radford entered the

week 18th in the national RPI rankings, and eighthyear head coach Joe Raccuia might have put together the strongest squad in program history. Seniors Josh Gardiner, Patrick Marshall and Hunter Higgerson are perhaps the most formidable offensive trio in the Big South, while junior Ryan Meisinger has established himself as a premier closer with a conferenceleading 12 saves.

West Virginia leads 5-3-1 in the all-time series with Radford, who come into the game off a win over VMI last night. Freshman Conner Dotson (0-3, 4.14 ERA) is set to start for West Virginia, against Radford’s Zack Ridgely (2-1, 4.08 ERA). First pitch at the RU Baseball Stadium is set for 2 p.m. today. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Buchanan, Lawrence named to World Cup team

BY RYAN PETROVICH SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Two players on the West Virginia women’s soccer team were named to the 2015 Canadian National Team. Sophomores Kadeisha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence are the first two active women’s soccer team players named to a World Cup team.

Both players are no strangers to the Canadian National Team. Buchanan, a defender from Brampton, Ontario and Lawrence, a midfielder from Toronto, both played on the World Cup team the past two years.

Buchanan – one of, if not the best defender on West Virginia’s team – has started 31 of 34 games while playing with the national team.

Buchanan even scored a goal on well-known American goalkeeper Hope Solo last year.

This past season for WVU, Buchanan started 19 of 20 games, registered 17 shots and scored three goals, but her recognition

has been highlighted because of her outstanding defensive play. Back in December, Buchanan was named the Canadian U-20 Player of the Year for the second straight time.

Buchanan has also earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year twice.

She helped the Mountaineers earn 12 shutouts in 2014 and was named the team’s MVP. Lawrence, another key player for head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, has earned the All-Big 12 First Team award twice and finished second on the team with 15 points in 2014.

Also in 2014, Lawrence started in 19 of 20 games, tallying 53 shots, seven assists and four goals to her name.

“I am so proud of the hard work and effort Ashley and Kadeisha put in over the last few months to make the Canadian World Cup team,” Izzo-Brown said in a release. “They have sacrificed so much to achieve their goal of representing their country at this high level.”

“I know West Virginia University, the WVU athletic department and the women’s soccer program are so proud to have two elite soccer players be a part of our West Virginia family.”

The FIFA Women’s World Cup begins on June 6, and the championship match is penciled in for July 5. The Canadians’ first match will be against China PR, with the match set to be played Saturday, June 6 at the

Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta.

Both Buchanan and Lawrence missed games last season for the Mountaineers due to their obligations to the Canadian team. Izzo-Brown, however, didn’t mind their absence and acknowledged the level of soccer they were playing at and how important it was for their respective careers.

The Mountaineers recently wrapped up their

spring season after beating Ohio Sate on the road, 3-2. Izzo-Brown’s squad capped off the spring season with a 3-2 overall record.

With plenty of players returning this coming season it will bring high expectations once again for the Mountaineers. West Virginia will be seeking another Big 12 championship, as they have recently owned the Big 12 Conference.

While that continues to be the primary focus, IzzoBrown is proud of what her two World Cup players have accomplished thus far.

“The FIFA Women’s World Cup is the highest level of soccer, and to have two Mountaineers competing is so incredible and an enormous accomplishment,” Izzo-Brown said in a release. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Depth could make WVU a running team SPECIAL NOTICES

Donte Thomas-Williams runs the ball in the backfield during Saturday’s Gold-Blue Spring Game.

BY DAVID STATMAN

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

When you think of the West Virginia offense, you think of the “air raid.” Head coach Dana Holgorsen made his name at Texas Tech, Houston and Oklahoma State, places where quarterbacks like Graham Harrell, Case Keenum and Brandon Weeden broke national records and became household names.

But quietly, last year’s Mountaineer football squad ran the ball more than they passed, relying on a stable of capable backs who could each carry the day for the team. This year may be no different.

Having too many good players at a position, especially at a position like running back—there are only so many carries to go around—can be a problem for a team but it’s not the worst problem to have. This year’s West Virginia team returns last year’s two leading rushers, juniors Rushel Shell and Wendell Smallwood, and paired with

talented backups Donte Thomas-Williams and Jacky Marcellus. It’s created an air of competition in the crowded Mountaineer backfield.

“There’s only one ball, so we can’t hand that thing to too many guys,” Holgorsen said after last Saturday’s Gold-Blue Spring Game. “It’s good to have a bunch of bodies there because you need depth at that spot. So whoever the main guy is, he’s going to be the main guy.”

“I think Wendell and Shell are going fight for the ball, they’re going to want the ball a lot, and they’ve got to hold off two young guys. The competition will be good to watch all summer. There’s going to be a time where we need them all.”

It was a dismal display for the Mountaineer offense in the spring game, but the performance of Marcellus and ThomasWilliams was one of the few bright spots. A wellregarded freshman from Durham, N.C., ThomasWilliams notched a team-

high 87 yards on 15 carries, while Marcellus, a converted wide receiver, showed off some playmaking flash and scored the offense’s only touchdown of the game.

Paired with a strong performance in spring practices for the pair, running back coach JaJuan Seider said the younger backs have earned themselves some trust as the regular season approaches.

“We wanted to create depth, get the young guys, Jacky and Donte, up to speed and continue to get the older guys ready to go,” Seider said. “We know we’re going to feed (the veterans) a lot, but it was good to see the younger guys step up and finally get some trust. We’re ready to go out there and play those guys.”

Meanwhile, Shell and Smallwood did not participate in Saturday’s spring game but Seider says their spot at the top of the Mountaineer depth chart is still entrenched. The pair combined for over 1,500 yards on the ground last year,

with Smallwood also posing a danger to opposing defenses as a receiver.

“It’s totally different with those two guys on the field,” Seider said. “It’s a presence for our offense, and our defense even feeds off it. Whether they make you miss or run through you, our team feeds off those two. Those two are our energizers, just like the battery. They’re going to make us go this year and we know that.”

With two experienced veterans and two talented newcomers present in the Mountaineer backfield, Holgorsen and Seider look to have a nice balance at their disposal. Meanwhile, Holgorsen has experimented with using backup quarterback William Crest as another running back, adding another X-factor to the group.

With the departure of three veteran backs from last year’s roster, Dreamius Smith, Andrew Buie and Dustin Garrison, the Mountaineer coaching staff plans to lean on Shell and Smallwood to take the

bulk of the carries. However, the depth may be mostly unaffected, allowing for Holgorsen and Seider to continue their philosophy of “take what the defense gives you.”

“I think you’ll continue to see that same trend, because for every run play we’ve got a pass play,” Seider said. “It’s what the defense gives us. You want to roll the safety down, we’ll take the throw. If you keep the safeties high, we will run the ball.”

Dreamius Smith especially featured in last year’s rotation, running the ball 80 times for 462 yards, third highest on the team, while Buie also added 239 yards on the ground on 55 carries. Their absence means there are opportunities to be had.

If Holgorsen means to carry in the same level of offensive balance as last season, look for Marcellus and Thomas-Williams to get their fair share of time in the spotlight come the fall. djstatman@mix.wvu.edu

gymnastics

WVU ends on a high note, looks ahead by nicole curtin sports editor @nicolec_wvu

About four weeks ago the West Virginia gymnastics team concluded its regular season competition in the Morgantown NCAA Regional Champi-

onships. The Mountaineers posted their second highest regional score ever of 195.65.

Seniors Beth Deal, Dayah Haley and Lia Salzano finished their final seasons in the Gold and Blue on a high note.

Haley was recently

awarded the Linda Burdette-Good Award as the team’s Most Valuable Gymnast. The seniors led the team this season, although Salzano did not compete most of the regular season, she has competed each of her four years.

reflected on the impact they made including that Haley “exemplified” doing the best gymnastics until the end, when she posted her career-high all-around score at the Morgantown Regionals.

“They had a very tall task, it was a year in the making,” Butts said. “We sat down this time last year and said 2014 was not acceptable and I kind of gave them the task of leading this team and being the go-between, between me and the rest of the team.

They did an incredible job and they set a really high standard.

You can’t replace them actually, so (we’re) not sure what we’re going to do with captains next year, thinking about switching things up because these guys did such a great job.”

All season long something Butts talked about was reaching a score of 195 and his team achieved that goal 11 times total over the season. The first time West Virginia hit that high was in a quad meet with William and Mary, N.C. State and North Carolina, a winning score of 195.53.

Once the goal of hitting a score and winning with that score was achieved, the Mountaineers focused their attention on advancing a gymnast through the regional meet on to the National Championships.

“Going into regionals we knew nationals was probably going to be a long shot,” Butts said.

In the six-team meet, West Virginia was given the sixth seed and finished fifth in the meet.

There was stiff competition like No. 2 ranked Florida and No. 11 ranked Stanford and other individual competitors who wanted a shot at the national tournament.

Even though West Virginia posted a team-best second highest score there, it wasn’t enough to advance the team or any-

one individually.

Following that meet, West Virginia jumped in the rankings to finish the season at No. 28. Final season rankings are based on combining the team’s regional qualifying score and NCAA Regional Championships score.

“Gymnastics is subjective, so the judges needed to see us finish the year strong so then next year they are willing to score us in the level we want to be in,” Butts said. “We knew we needed to maximize our regional score. To go from 36 to where we ended up at 28, that’s a huge accomplishment for the program after not being in the mix at all last year.”

Heading into summer break and looking toward next year, Butts said the work never stops. Gymnasts are always training year-round so the team will continue to work out on their own individually and try to get some skills down for next year.

West Virginia is also anticipating six incoming freshmen, some of whom are posting serious numbers at the junior level competitions right now. Although four seniors are leaving the program, including Pitt transfer Brittney Harris, there are underclassmen who performed well all season.

Nicolette Swoboda, Alexa Goldberg, Melissa Idell, Jaida Lawrence and Zaakira Muhammad are just some of the names sure to pop up next season in meet recaps from West Virginia.

“They’re excited, we know what routines we want, the new skills, we already started them in the gym,” Butts said. “Their goal is to be competitionwise ready by October 1st and that gives us three months to get the kinks out.” ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

golf

West Virginia team parts ways for summer break

BY DJ DESKINS

SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

As the 2015 spring semester comes to a close, the members of West Virginia University’s men’s golf team are beginning to head their separate ways for the summer.

The five members currently on the team, Tae Wan Lee, Jon Ransone, Easton Renwick, Mason Short and Chris Williams have finished their team practices for the semester and now look to improve on their individual games during the summer.

“We’re all going to be on our own this summer,” Short said. “We’ll all be playing in amateur tournament events just to keep our competitive drive

going.”

Each of them will compete in their state’s amateur opens and also look to compete in some highertier tournaments to help prepare themselves for the tough schedule they’ll face in the Big 12 next season.

“Due to NCAA rules we can’t work with the guys a whole lot during the summer,” said head coach Sean Covich.

“Most of the guys are playing individual amateur tournaments on their own. They’ll play in their state amateurs, their state opens, the USGA qualifiers, U.S. amateur qualifiers and some invitational events.”

Short will stay in Morgantown over the summer, rather than spend it in his hometown of Waldorf, Md., just outside of

Washington D.C., to take some summer classes and improve on his game.

“My plans for the summer are really wake up in the morning, work out and then practice all day,” Short said. “I’ll probably take a summer class and get some schoolwork done online. My summer will be 80 percent golf.”

Chad Snodgrass, a former football player at WVU, is in charge of strength and conditioning for the men’s golf team. Short describes him as a hard worker who pushes the team and focuses on flexibility, shoulder mobility, cardio and core workouts.

Nearly every week this summer Covich will be recruiting young golfers to be future Mountaineers. Coaching his players

will take a backseat during their offseason so he is able to focus on that, but he still hopes to be able to check in on their progress and catch some of their play in tournaments.

“You never stop recruiting,” Covich said.“You’re always researching kids or going out and watching them. I get a ton of emails from kids who want to come and play Division I golf here. You’re always evaluating to see who will be a good fit here.”

Covich met with all his players to discuss the semester they had and what they need to do looking forward. Each one of his athletes are different, so what they need to individually work on varies.

“The big thing is play-

ing tournament golf,” Covich said.

“We didn’t get to play any tournaments this year and they’re missing that experience. So they need to get out and play in as many as they can.”

Covich stresses how important it is to get experience playing under pressure because it’s something his team didn’t have this year during practices.

Covich’s experience as an assistant coach with Mississippi State excites him for the coming season.

He looks forward to getting into the everyday routine of college coaching, of practice, qualifying and playing in tournaments.

“I’m excited to see where we land in the national landscape,” Covich

said.

“Are we going to be in dead last, or a surprise team that makes the postseason, or somewhere in between? I have no idea.

It’s kind of like unwrapping a present and seeing what we’re going to get next year.”

Both Short and Renwick will likely play their one and only Big 12 season next year, but they look to set a bar for future student-athletes and teams to come.

“As a senior, Easton and I have a leadership role on the team,” Short said.

“We’re still trying to set good examples and, since we’re a first-year team, we’re trying to set a standard on what it means to be a WVU golfer.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

rifle

Championship team bids farewell to four seniors by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

“You’ll shoot your eye out” is a commonly heard phrase when speaking of rifles or shooting. For four seniors of the 17-time National Champion West Virginia rifle team, they shot their hearts out instead.

Maren Prediger, Ziva Dvorsak, Thomas Kyanko and Taylor Ciotola have all completed their college shooting careers on the best note possible, as NCAA Champions. Three of which (Prediger, Kyanko and Ciotola) were members of all three titles that were won consecutively during the 2013, ’14 and ’15 seasons, while Dvorsak was a part of the last two.

Each of the four seniors have made their mark on the coveted program which is often considered the best NCAA rifle program in the country. Although the rings, trophies and titles are intriguing, these athletes are

leaving the program with something much more important; friendship, memorable experiences and character.

“The only thing that matters is kind of how you carry yourself through your shooting and through your whole life because it’s the progress that counts,” Prediger said. “Of course it’s nice to win the championships but most of the time it’s not in your control. You can only do the best you can and if it works, it works.”

Coach Jon Hammond and the Mountaineer rifle squad credit the success of the program to not only the sheer talent and skill level held by each of the athletes, but also the willingness to be a teammate rather than an individual, and the undeniable chemistry they share.

If Prediger could use one word to describe her feelings toward her time as a West Virginia rifle shooter coming to and end, the word would be sad.

“It’s really sad. It’s really, really sad, because I love this team,” she said. “It’s so much love, I could hug them all the time. I feel very sad that I’m not gonna be a part of that anymore, an actual part of it. Of course, I’m gonna be around. I just started grad school so I’ll be around, but it’s not like I have the actual intricate right to be there anymore.

It’s a family thing; it’s a family feeling but things have to end.”

Not only did Prediger contribute to three NCAA championships but she also won her own Individual NCAA Championship at this year’s NCAA’s in Alaska. She shot a solid score of 208.5 in the air rifle final to claim the title.

Thomas Kyanko, a West Virginia native, also says he finished off his college career with many positives and lots of new techniques.

“I’ve learned a lot. A lot of it was mainly just getting ideas from not only Jon (Hammond) but also from

other people on the team,” he said. “Especially with all of the international shooters you learn a lot of new things and can build off a lot of their experiences too.”

Kyanko said shooting for West Virginia’s flagship University has been rewarding amongst other things.

“We don’t have a professional sports team in West Virginia so WVU kind of fills that. It was great being recruited and a lot of it was just luck from being here.

I’m really lucky that this is the best program in the nation and it’s right in my home state,” he said.

“Oh definitely,” Kyanko said when asked if he expects the team to continue being dominant and successful in not only the GARC but also in all of college rifle.

“The determining factor that makes people want to come here is when you have this type of (winning) environment and you naturally have people who want to be in that kind of environment.
