Money talks in upcoming W.Va. primaries by caity coyne city editor @caitycoyne

With the campaign finance filing deadline for the West Virginia primaries approaching on Thursday, candidates for all levels of political office in the state are preparing to disclose their donor list, as well as all financial transactions from their campaigning thus far. While no information is yet available for West Virginia’s gubernatorial race, looking at contributions from past years can help voters paint a picture of the types of organizations supporting each candidate. Following a trend set on the national level, two candidates— businessman Jim Justice (D) and U.S. attorney Booth Goodwin (D)— joined the race with no former political experience. They are facing off against current Senate Minor-

Person injured in fatal plane crash remains critical CHARLESTON, West Virginia (AP)—A flight instructor was killed and a man remains in critical condition the day after a small plane plunged from the sky while taking off at a West Virginia airport, flipped over and caught fire. Yeager Airport spokesman Mike Plante said the injured person, who has not been identified, underwent surgery after the incident on Saturday and remains in the intensive care unit. The National Transportation Safety Board on Sunday began its investigation into what caused the crash that killed the flight instructor and sent the airport into mourning. “There’s a natural bond between pilots and aviation people,” he said. “It’s a small and specialized community who shared that kinship of flight. When we lose someone, it’s a reminder of an old saying in aviation: There are wonderful, amazing machines. But they are unforgiving of imprecision, neglect or mechanical failure.” The Cessna 172 Sky Hawk four-seat plane took off just after noon Saturday, Plante said. It was airborne when it careened back down and smashed beside the runway nose first. It then toppled over onto its back and caught fire. Dozens of firefighters, medics and police responded, extinguished the fire and extracted the two passengers around 40 minutes later, Plante said. Both were severely injured and taken to the hospital, where the woman later died. She has not been formally identified. Local media reported the victim as Brenda Gilland Jackson, a flight instructor. Joe Beam, manager of Skylane Aviation which owned the plane, confirmed Jackson had perished. “She just loved to fly,” Beam said. She started flying as a teenager more than four decades ago, according to story the Charleston Gazette-Mail wrote when she received her instructor’s certificate in 2009. But life took a different turn, she got married and had a family and stayed on the ground for 25 years. Her husband died and, in 2009, she started taking lessons again. She fell in love with her flight instructor and married him, the newspaper reported. She told the newspaper that getting her license was a “dream come true” and said she loved to fly because it made her feel free. Beam, whose Charleston-based company headquartered at the airport, offers services like aerial photography, site surveys and flight instruction. He said he met her when she returned to aviation. She worked for herself and rented planes from him to take up her students. It remains unclear what caused the plane to fall from the sky. Dan Boggs, an air safety investigator at National Transportation Safety Board, said at a news conference Sunday that a preliminary report will be published within a few weeks. The final investigative report will take several months to complete.

Four days before the end of his term, the Student Government Association’s Board of Governors decided in a more than two-hour long executive session not to impeach Student Body President George Capel. Capel was arrested on March 17 allegedly for public intoxication and trespassing at a Cornell Avenue residence. He was later released in municipal court on a $200 bond. No member of the BOG would say why they made the decision not to bring impeachment proceedings against him. “I think that’s up to the discretion of the board,” Capel said of why no member of SGA would tell The Daily Athenaeum why the decision was reached. “I told them tonight the decision was entirely up to them, it was totally in their power to do whatever they saw fit. It’s within their discretion to disclose any of that information as well.” For more than 20 minutes of the executive session, George Capel walked the halls of the second floor of the Mountainlair while the BOG, only feet away in the Cacapon Room, decided his fate. Police said Capel was inside a home on Cornell Avenue at 10:54 p.m. without permission from the person who lived there. He told police he was there to search for a missing cell phone. “My whole intention that night was to help a student in need,” Capel said. “I would encourage all mountaineers to help each other, regardless. And that’s what’s at the core, just being there for each other.” Officer B.R. Viola wrote in the police report that she could smell “the distinct odor of alcoholic beverage on Capel’s breath.” His eyes were red and glassy; he was unsteady and swayed while standing, the report reads. “I should have maintained better judgment as a student leader, and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Capel said in a prepared statement. “With that being said, I will take every possible step to remedy this situation, learn from my mistakes and strive to exemplify the values and principles set out by our University in the future.” Capel also said in the

In this Friday, Sept. 25, 2015, file photo, an Apple iPhone 6s Plus smartphone is displayed at the Apple store at The Grove in Los Angeles. The FBI said Monday, March 28, 2016, it successfully used a mysterious technique without Apple Inc.’s help to hack into the iPhone used by a gunman in a mass shooting in California, effectively ending a pitched court battle between the Obama administration and one of the world’s leading technology companies.

Justice Department cracks iPhone, withdraws legal action WASHINGTON (AP)—The FBI said Monday it successfully used a mysterious technique without Apple Inc.’s help to hack into the iPhone used by a gunman in a mass shooting in California, effectively ending a pitched court battle between the Obama administration and one of the world’s leading technology companies. The government asked a federal judge to vacate a disputed order forcing Apple to help the FBI break into the iPhone, saying it was no longer necessary. The court filing in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California provided no details about how the FBI did it or who showed it how. The FBI is now reviewing the information on the iPhone, the Justice Department said in a statement. In response, Apple said in a statement that it will continue to increase the security of its products. While saying it will still provide some help to the government, “as we have done all along,” the company reiterated its position that the government’s demand was wrong. “This case should never have been brought,” Apple said in its statement.

Both sides left important questions unanswered: Who showed the FBI how to break into iPhones? How did the government bypass the security features that Apple has invested millions of dollars to build into its flagship product? Are newer iPhones vulnerable to the same hacking technique? Will the FBI share its information with scores of state and local police agencies that said they also need to break into the iPhones of criminal suspects? Will the FBI reveal to Apple how it broke its security? Did the FBI find anything useful on the iPhone? The surprise development also punctured the temporary perception that Apple’s security might have been good enough to keep consumers’ personal information safe even from the U.S. government - with the tremendous resources it can expend when it wants to uncover something. The FBI used the technique to access data on an iPhone used by gunman Syed Farook, who died with his wife in a gun battle with police after they killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, in December. The iPhone was found in

U.S. magistrate Sheri Pym of California last month ordered Apple to provide the FBI with software to help it hack into Farook’s workissued iPhone. The order touched off a debate pitting digital privacy rights against national security concerns. Apple was headed for a courtroom showdown with the government last week, until federal prosecutors abruptly asked for a postponement so they could test a potential solution brought to them by a party outside of the U.S. government last Sunday. Technical experts had said there might be a few ways an outsider could gain access to the phone, but the FBI insisted repeatedly until then that only Apple had the ability to override the iPhone’s security. FBI Director James Comey said the bureau even went to the National Security Agency, which did not have the ability to get into the phone. A law enforcement official said the FBI was successful in unlocking the still the state’s top industry contributor, giving $1.1 million to state politics so far just in the 2016 election; more than the total amount raised by the mining industry in the entire 2014 election cycle, according to the Center of Responsive Politics.

The official said federal law enforcement would continue to aid its local and state partners with gaining evidence in cases - implying that the method would be shared with them. First in line is likely, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, who told a U.S. House panel earlier this month that he has 205 iPhones his investigators can’t access data from in criminal investigations. Apple is also opposing requests to help extract information from 14 Apple devices in California, Illinois, Massachusetts and New York. The case drew international attention and highlighted a growing friction between governments and the tech industry. Apple and other tech companies have said they feel increasing need to protect their customers’ data from hackers and unfriendly intruders, while police and other government authorities have warned that encryption and other data-protection measures are making it he campaigned for senate in 2014.

more difficult for investigators to track criminals and dangerous extremists. Apple CEO Tim Cook had argued that helping the FBI hack the iPhone would set a dangerous precedent, making all iPhone users vulnerable, if Apple complied with the court order. Cook said Congress should take up the issue. The withdrawal of the court process also takes away Apple’s ability to legally request details on the method the FBI used in this case. Apple attorneys said last week that they hoped the government would share that information with them if it proved successful. The encrypted phone was protected by a passcode that included security protocols: a time delay and self-destruct feature that erased the phone’s data after 10 tries. The two features made it impossible for the government to repeatedly and continuously test passcodes in what’s known as a brute-force attack. Comey said with those features removed, the FBI could break into the phone in 26 minutes. The official said the method used to unlock the phone appears to work on Cruz at 11 percent. Despite the overwhelming support for Trump on the Republican side, West Virginians have only donated $3,653 to Trump’s campaign. Ted Cruz, however, has received $96,359 from those in the state, followed by Hillary Clinton— who is trailing Sanders by 8 points— with $92,234, according to March 21, 2016 data from the CPR. crcoyne@mail.wvu.edu

the iPhone 5C operating a version of iOS 9. In late 2014, Apple updated its operating system so the passcode is linked to the phone’s overall encryption. The Cupertino-based company said that made it impossible for it to access data on the phone. The Justice Department wouldn’t comment on any future disclosure of the method to Apple or the public. The government’s announcement was praised by Stephen Larson, a Los Angeles attorney who filed a brief in support of the Justice Department’s case and represents seven families of those killed in the attack. “For this to have dragged out in court battles would not have served the interests of either” the victims or law enforcement, he said. Alex Abdo, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a brief supporting Apple in its case, said the case is far from settled and it was “just a delay of an inevitable fight” about whether the government can force a company like Apple to undermine the security of its products to facilitate an investigation.

OPINION Ending hate, promoting peace 3

Tuesday March 29, 2016

editorial

Tragedy struck the Belgian city of Brussels last Tuesday when three suicide bombers carried out a coordinated attack on the city. At least 35 people were killed, and more than 300 people were injured, making the event the deadliest terrorist attack in Belgium’s history. Since the bombing, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack. This event is horrifying, and it’s clear terrorists of any nationality and ISIS must be mercilessly stopped. Terrorists are cowards, and attacking civilians—innocent men, women and children—is a spineless tactic of the weak. However, just as troubling as the hate spewing from ISIS is the equally atrocious and ignorant hate coming from certain people in Europe and America toward all Muslims worldwide. Since the bombings last week, there has been a resurgence in anti-Muslim rhetoric and actions in the Western world. During a peaceful vigil in Brussels following the attack, Muslim women were harassed and threatened by far-right protesters. This was not an isolated event, as Muslims

A man mourns the victims of the attacks in Brussels. are being threatened and attacked all across Europe. Politicians have jumped on the hate wagon as well. Disturbingly, many European countries have seen a strengthening of far-right political parties: Parties with platforms based on ex-

cluding Muslims and middle easterners due to their belief system and nationality. Similar events are unfolding in America as well. Since the Brussels incident, news networks have been flooded with politicians and talking heads beating the

drum of anti-Muslim sentiment. American citizens are buying into the hate as well and have flocked to social media to post venomous blanket statements about all Muslims. On both sides of the Atlantic, politicians have

called for punitive action against refugees from wartorn Middle East countries. Because many Syrian refugees are Muslim, it is assumed they are terrorists by default. However, in reality they are simply innocent people looking for a

safe place to wait out their country’s civil war. It is important to remember that we cannot judge a diverse group of people based on the actions of a violent minority. Assuming every Muslim or refugee is a terrorist with anti-Western ideals is the equivalent of assuming every white male wants to shoot children at an elementary school. Ironically, by hating a whole group of people just because they follow a different belief system, the anti-Muslim crowd is sharing the same philosophy held by the real enemies: ISIS and other extremist groups. As a species, humans must come to realize we are all more similar than we are different. Religion, nationality, skin color and any other attribute we use to segregate and hate each other are simply superficial differences. As social animals, humans thrive when working together, and we must put aside insignificant differences so we can face problems as a unified species. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Alternatives to antidepressants are urgently needed jenna gilbert columnist @j3nn_1f3r

Over the past few years, there has been an increase of antidepressant prescriptions for teens and adolescents. While the main treatment for depression today is medication, some doctors are looking into substitute treatments and ways to get patients off their medication sooner rather than later. Simply put, there should be another treatment option for depressed individuals besides a lifetime of regular antidepressant intake. The biggest concern doctors have with taking patients off antidepressants is the relapse that may follow. Sufferers with at least one bout of depression under their belts have a 50 percent increased chance of another episode after ending treatment, and these episodes may be even more severe than the first. Many people may not be comfortable with taking drugs for an unknown amount of time. Some may also believe that because their medication is working, they no longer have to take it as prescribed, which can increase their risk of relapsing and even suicidal behavior. There needs to be another way to treat this illness that won’t cause further harm to the individual. Since many doctors have become aware of patients slowly weaning themselves

Combining different treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and medication gives depression patients the ability to actively combat their negative thoughts. off their medication with good results, they are currently attempting to study the biological indicators of when the best time to start the removal process might be and who the best candidates might be. One psychiatrist, Dr. Beth Salcedo, even discusses ways to end treatment with her patients before she prescribes medication. Being honest about the potential struggles of not taking the antidepressants

as prescribed is better than leaving patients in the dark about their medication. Some may not realize that by quitting their medication without a doctor’s supervision, they are putting themselves in extreme danger. Dr. Salcedo likes to put new patients on antidepressants for the first year to give some relief, but she tries to teach her patients new ways to handle depression episodes without relying on medication.

This approach is a great start to a gradual healing process. It gives those with depression a sense of control over their emotions and mood before they begin the mental training portion of their treatment. While on antidepressants, Dr. Salcedo suggests patients start some form of cognitive therapy to help identify the stressors that contribute to their pervasive negative thoughts so they may begin to counter them with positivity.

While some may never be able to function completely without their medication, giving patients the chance to at least lower their dosage is better than continual health care fees and doctor’s visits that may come with a long-term antidepressant prescription. This type of medication also often comes with side effects, and other medications may be required to counteract them. Though drug use is often

used to provide immediate help to depressed or suicidal individuals, it is best to search out other ways of handling this disease longterm in ways that don’t rely on medication. By giving those with depression mental strategies they can use to not let their negative thoughts consume them, they can begin the long recovery process without needing a pill. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Defending ‘Batman v Superman’ bgr.com

Despite box office success, ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ has received harsh reviews from critics, not all of it warranted.

by Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @westleyt93

“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” was released in the United States Friday. Although the movie brought in more than $166 million opening weekend, breaking the previous March release record, it has been met with mixed reviews. “Batman v Superman” only received a 29 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and many critics tore the movie apart, claiming it was too dark and lacked focus. However, the film has been met with unfair criticism. The movie is nowhere close to perfect, but it is not as bad as many critics make it out to be.

“Batman v Superman’s” greatest strength is its welldone characters. Ben Affleck is arguably the best movie Batman ever. He portrays both Bruce Wayne and Batman flawlessly. Where previous movies introduced us to a young, idealistic Batman, this one shows us a grim, gritty, older Batman who has become disillusioned with the world after fighting an endless battle against crime for more than 20 years. It is implied the Joker killed Robin years ago and time has only made this Batman’s inner demons stronger. It is clear that at least part of him has snapped, and the caped crusader has given into his sadistic side, fighting with a brutal violence a younger

Batman would not think of. Actress Gal Gadot stole the show as Wonder Woman. She effortlessly exudes an air of nobility and confidence that is quite fitting for an immortal warrior. Although only in costume briefly, Wonder Woman held her own during the final fight scene, and fans are excited to see her standalone movie which should release sometime next year. Jesse Eisenberg’s interpretation of criminal mastermind Lex Luthor polarized critics and audiences. Eisenberg’s Luthor differs from the comics, and he oozes an unsettling mixture of arrogance, brilliance and awkwardness. The result is an entertain-

ing and compelling villain. One complaint against “Batman v Superman” is that it is too long. The film can afford to shave about 40 minutes off its runtime, but to be fair to DC, they are playing catch-up with Marvel. For whatever reason, Marvel comics was able to get a significant head start over DC in terms of building a cinematic universe. “Batman v Superman” is setting up for the Justice League, DC’s equivalent of The Avengers. Marvel had years of movies including “Iron Man,” “Thor” and “Captain America” to lead up to the first Avengers movie. Since DC is racing the clock, it had to fit a lot into just this one film. Some scenes cer-

tainly should have been cut, but when you account for the time crunch it becomes clear why so much was jammed in. Nevertheless, “Batman v Superman” did an excellent job setting up for the Justice League. Many of the characters were introduced in a cool and creative way. Thanks to director Zack Snyder, the fight scenes in “Batman v Superman” were superb. Snyder is known for impressive cinematic fights, previously directing the hit movie “300,” and his expertise shows in this film as well. The fights were brutal, excellently choreographed and well shot. The camera angles showed the action in the best way, without jumping

around too much and making the audience lose their bearing. “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” is not a perfect movie by any means. However, it is a fun, dark and action-packed adventure, which is what one wants when watching a movie based on DC comics. When one looks at what DC is trying to accomplish in future movies, “Batman v Superman” is a slightly faltering, but not terrible, start. The characters who have been introduced are excellent, and it will be exciting to see where gritty Batman, heroic Wonder Woman and the rest end up in future movies. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ fans get taste of sequel 14 years later by meg weissend A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

It has been 14 years since the world was first introduced to the beloved, “big, fat and Greek” family that took the rom-com box office by storm. The low-budget indie film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” told the story of a Greek-American woman who fell head-over-heels for a nonGreek man. Always commanded to “marry a Greek boy, make Greek babies and feed everyone” until the day she dies, the news came as a disappointing shock to her suffocating parents and her loud, invasive relatives. Creator Nia Vardalos, also cast as main character Toula Portokalos, said although the film was based on her own family and experience marrying a non-Greek man, she was struck by how many people found her story recognizable. “It’s so wild how it translates to all cultures no matter where, people say to me, ‘That’s my family,’” Vardalos said in an interview with BBC News. One of the most quoted movies of all time, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” was always a candidate for a sequel. Finally, a follow-up film has been made, reuniting the entire original cast as well as bringing

ACESHOWBIZ.COM

‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2’ debuted on Friday, March 25. back producers Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Fourteen years later, audiences were clearly interested in another round of comedic family shenanigans. After its premiere on Friday, the sequel matched its production budget in the first three days of domestic release. Most sequels feel much differ-

ent from the original movie with new places and people; however, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” is full of familiar faces. The returning cast not only includes Vardalos but John Corbett, Michael Constantine, Lainie Kazan, Andrea Martin, Gia Carides, Joey Fatone, Louis Mandylor and many more. A few other actors such as John Stamos and Alex

Wolff were also added to the cast. When I saw the first preview of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2,” I was very excited. Recognizing the entire cast from the first movie, I was immediately impressed. Sequel reviews almost never applaud the production, so I was not going to let the negative comments from dozens of online publications persuade

my opinion. I saw “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” this past Saturday with no expectations, and I was content with the final product. Obviously, nothing will live up to the first movie, but it was fun to see what became of each character’s life. The storyline is again focused on the chaos of Toula’s family. The relationship with her husband seems to have lost its spark, and dealing with a rebellious teenage daughter who clashes with Greek traditions has been hard on her marriage. On top of that, Toula must contend with aging parents and the endless needs of cousins and friends. When a shocking family secret comes to light, the entire Portokalos clan makes plans to come together for an even bigger and fatter Greek wedding than before. The warm and witty comedy referenced many of the family’s funny quirks and sayings that audience members adored in the first movie. A timeless production signifying the importance of family and heritage, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” will always be cherished by millions. The second part of the story is a reminder that although balancing a busy life and family is not easy, it is definitely worth it. Three stars and an “Opa!” from me. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Oculus Rift begins shipping, reviews suggest waiting is ok LOS ANGELES (AP) ‑ The first consumerready Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset was delivered to a real person over the weekend, and reviewers got their first taste. The initial feedback: It’s a beautiful, wonderful device that immerses you, yet it still has a ways to go. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey hand-delivered the first Rift to software developer Ross Martin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday, kicking off a new era in virtual reality by putting the most powerful VR device yet into a consumer’s hands. Martin, who had never tried VR before, spent a few hours on the Rift Monday morning. He watched a short movie, played a game and explored a virtual environment that included an up-close encounter with a Tyrannosaurus Rex. “I couldn’t stop saying, ‘Wow,’” Martin, a 33-year-old Web developer, said in an interview. But he said that he felt a touch of nausea at times and that the resolution could be better. “If you’re a gamer, this is right up your alley,” he said. “You’re going to be able to forgive that.” Oculus has said it’s sending the Rift to its first Kickstarter backers first, followed by those who ordered one in January for $600, or at least $1,500 with a high-end personal

computer included. Oculus, which began crowd-funding through Kickstarter in August 2012, was acquired by Facebook for $2 billion in 2014 and has shipped two developer versions so far. Expectations for a consumer version have been high. There’s a backlog of orders and if you order now, you can expect delivery in July. It’s not clear, though, how many units Oculus made for the first round - and whether there will ultimately be much demand beyond gamers and hard-core technologists. Early reviews by journalists have been mixed. Steven Tweedie of Business Insider was glowingly positive in his review of the Rift, relishing the greater presence he felt in both games and narrative stories. “Everything feels like it means more: there’s a heightened connection to characters, both in games and short films, and the action carries weight,” he wrote. But he noted its hefty price tag “is undoubtedly the biggest thing keeping more people from getting the chance to try virtual reality.” Time’s Lisa Eadicicco called the Rift “expensive, complicated, and totally wonderful.” She added, “It’s brilliant. It’s fascinating. It’s not perfect, but it’s only getting started.” Several reviewers, including IGN’s Dan

The virtual reality headset allows users to become completely immersed in a game or film. Stapleton, wrote that because the Rift doesn’t come with controllers that allow for separate actions by each hand, the Rift will suffer compared with the HTC Vive, which will have such controllers included when it comes out next month. Oculus expects its “Touch” controllers to come out later this year. Wired reviewer Peter Rubin similarly bemoaned the lack of games using Touch.

oculous.com

Nathan Olivarez-Giles of The Wall Street Journal wasn’t wowed by all the 30 games that were available at launch. And he wrote that nausea, a consistent complaint among VR headset users, was real. “When I pushed myself to play ‘Valkyrie’ for as long as 45 minutes nonstop, I took aspirin to fight off a headache.”

Write Your Way to Your Dream Job With today’s technology, it is very likely that your first interaction with a potential employer will be a computer image of your professional documents, specifically your resume and cover letter. These professional documents will help you get to the next stage of the application process with some guidance and practice. Resume Your resume needs to make a good first impression by clearly presenting your education, work experience, and skills. It needs to be concise and compelling—leaving the reader with a desire to know more about you. Some tips for writing a resume: • Arrange everything present to past, so your most recent degree, job, etc. is at the top of that section. • Don’t use “I” in your resume—start sentences with a verb when possible.

• Focus on what you can do for the company you are applying to, not what they can do for you. • Make sure every sentence doesn’t begin with “I.” • Draft your cover letter, then request to have it reviewed by one of our career counselors. Thank you letter Whether you’re interviewing for a full time job or an internship, you should write a formal thank you letter. While email is becoming more acceptable, a written letter received in the mail will stand out and impress most potential employers. Some tips for writing a thank you letter: • Send a thank-you e-mail or letter within 24 hours of your interview.

• If you have leadership experience from a job, club, team, or volunteer experience, be sure to highlight it.

• Take notes after each interview. When you write your thank-you note, use this information to remind the interviewer of an idea or discussion that came up during your interview.

• Can’t think of how to talk about job duties? Go to O*Net (http://www.onetonline.org/) and put your job title in the upper right search box “Occupation Quick Search.” Look at the tasks and use the items that applied to your job.

• Ask each interviewer for his/her business card. You’ll walk away with important information including the recruiter’s full name, e-mail address and other contact information.

• Edit your document and have several other people, (including one of our career counselors), proofread it. Resumes with typos or misspellings will be viewed as unprofessional and may even be thrown out.

How Career Services can help with your professional documents

Cover letter Cover letters are powerful tools. They allow you to provide more detail or clarification about information already in your resume. It’s best to match your cover letter to the employer and the specific position. Some tips for writing a cover letter:

Sample resumes, cover letters and thank you letters can be viewed on our website at careerservices.wvu.edu. You can also schedule an appointment to have any of these documents reviewed by a career counselor by calling 304-293-2221 or emailing careerservices@mail.wvu.edu. For more information about writing professional documents, visit Career Services in the Mountainlair, Monday–Friday 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. or visit our website at http://careerservices.wvu.edu.

• Address your contact by name. If you have no name, use “Dear Sir or Madam.” Avoid addressing a cover letter with “To Whom It May Concern.”

Sponsored by

• Talk about your education—degrees, certifications, & training—and your work experience, internship, or volunteer work—any knowledge, skill or ability that relates to the job you’re applying for.

Hield, Arcidiacono take the long road to Final Four in Houston Nobody in the NBA was knocking down Ryan Arcidiacono’s door when his junior season ended a year ago. Buddy Hield - that was a different story. Arcidiacono stayed at Villanova because he had no other choice. Hield stayed at Oklahoma because he had unfinished business. The guards, who lead their respective teams in very different ways, are each closing out their senior year at the top of their sport with a trip to the Final Four. “It’s four years of commitment to Villanova and to a program,” Arcidiacono said, when asked to describe his emotions as he sprinted in circles after the Wildcats defeated Kansas. The Oklahoma-Villanova semifinal Saturday will pit a pair of No. 2 seeds who knocked off the top seeds in their regions to earn their trips to Houston. The second semifinal will pit 10th-seeded Syracuse, only the fourth double-digit seed to make the Final Four, against North Carolina in an ACC rematch. The Tar Heels, who beat Notre Dame 88-74 to become the only top seed to make the Final Four, have

already beaten the Orange twice this season. “It means a lot,” said senior Brice Johnson, the team’s leading scorer and rebounder, whose first Final Four will be the program’s record 19th. “It took us four years to do this, but we’re finally there.” Syracuse, a bubble team that many people didn’t think belonged in the tournament, finished its 68-62 win in the Midwest Regional over top-seeded Virginia on a 29-8 run. “In my 40 years coaching basketball, I’ve never been prouder of a team,” said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, leading the Orange to the Final Four for the fifth time. The Sooners are back for the first time since 2002. Their semifinal against Villanova is a rematch of Oklahoma’s 78-55 win in December in Hawaii. Oklahoma wouldn’t have reached this point without Hield, who has debunked any notion that an NBA prospect has nothing to gain by staying at school. He would’ve been a firstround pick had he left after last season, but has used Year 4 with the Sooners to

get better at pretty much every facet of offense - ballhandling, footwork, creating shots and making them from longer range. He’s averaged 25.4 points a game this season. In four tournament games, including his 37-point effort in the win over Oregon, he has averaged 29. That will pay off when the draft rolls around in June. Hield said the feeling he had last March, when the Sooners fell to Michigan State in the Sweet 16, is what brought him back. “We had a bad taste in our mouth last spring, and we wanted to work hard,” Hield said. “As soon as we came back the next week, next day we were in the gym working out. Guys really wanted to get to this point.” When it comes to shortcomings in March, though, nobody felt the pain more deeply than Arcidiacono and the Wildcats. Villanova was a top seed last year and a No. 2 the year before - and didn’t make it out of the first weekend either time. All worth it, said Arcidiacono, who averages 12 points and four assists and

Buddy Hield attempts a layup during a Febraury contest at West Virginia. was a co-Big East Player of the Year last season. A scrappy 6-foot-3 star at Neshaminy High School in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Arcidiacono grew up loving the Wildcats. He remembers watching Scottie Reynolds take the pass just behind midcourt and drive to the hoop for the buzzerbeating basket that sent Jay

Wright’s team to its last Final Four, in 2009. Arcidiacono had no visions of playing for Villanova, though. “At that point in my life, I was just hoping to play basketball for fun and maybe get a scholarship,” he said. He got the scholarship. At Villanova, no less. Wright was from the same area and the two bonded. Now, a

matchup looms - in Houston, on college basketball’s biggest stage, against Hield, who is arguably its most valuable player. “We went through the struggles,” Arcidiacono said. “We lost to Columbia our freshman year by 20 at home. We know what the lows are. Now we’re getting to see the highs.”

Serena Williams upset by Kuznetsova in three sets at Miami Open KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. (AP) — Serena Williams had been eliminated from the tournament for less than 20 minutes when she climbed into her white Mini Cooper with the checkerboard top and pulled out of the players’ parking lot, fastening her seat belt as she drove. A hasty departure, for sure. Williams’ 20-match winning streak at Key Biscayne ended Monday with a 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-2 loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth round of the Miami Open. Williams was bidding for her ninth title in the event

and her fourth in a row. But after a grueling first set that lasted nearly an hour, the No. 1-seeded Williams faded on a sweltering afternoon. This is the first time she hasn’t reached the Key Biscayne quarterfinals since 2000, when she lost in the fourth round to Jennifer Capriati. Williams, 34, hasn’t won a tournament since earning her 69th title at Cincinnati in August. “I did the best I could,” she said during a postmatch news conference that lasted less than three minutes before she cut it off.

“I can’t win every match. These players come out and play me like they’ve never played before in their lives. I have to be 300 percent every day.” The No. 15-seeded Kuznetsova won with defense, extending points until Williams would make a mistake. The Russian finished with only 18 unforced errors to 55 for Williams. In addition, Williams’ serve was uncharacteristically unreliable. She hit 13 aces but also had nine double faults and was broken six times. Williams said the muggy

85-degree weather didn’t faze her. “Physically I’m fine,” she said. “I don’t know, I guess I didn’t move today. Maybe that was one of the things that didn’t work out for me.” Kuznetsova, 30, won Key Biscayne 10 years ago and is into the quarterfinals for the first time since 2009. “I’m too old,” she told the crowd. “I’ve been many times on this court. I love being back here, and I’m really happy with my performance.” Also sidelined was No. 2-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska, the 2012 cham-

pion, who lost to No. 19 Timea Bacsinszky 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. The defeat was only the fourth in 21 matches this year for Radwanska. Williams lives 90 minutes from Key Biscayne and has long considered the event her home tournament. But the stadium was two-thirds empty for her match, partly because of weather so uncomfortable some spectators draped towels over their heads seeking refuge from the sweltering sun. Williams played a flawless tiebreaker, hitting two aces and three other winners. But after she lost serve

to fall behind 3-1 in the second set, her play became more flat-footed. At least twice she failed to pursue shots from Kuznetsova. In the third set Williams tried hitting balls as hard as she could, and some went for winners. But she double-faulted to fall behind 4-1, and Kuznetsova held twice to close out the victory. There was no smiling by either player as they met at the net to shake hands. Kuznetsova improved to 3-8 against Williams and beat her for the first time since the 2009 French Open.

Time for WVU fans to turn attention to baseball Mountaineer fans, you are forgiven if you’re feeling a little low right about now. There are so many positive things that the 201516 West Virginia men’s basketball team could be remembered for, but the unfortunate truth is teams are ultimately defined by their performance in the NCAA Tournament, and this year’s Mountaineers will go down in history as the team that lost to Stephen F. Austin. Meanwhile, the NCAA Tournament has rolled on, with Buddy Hield — whom West Virginia held to six points in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals — carrying conference rival Oklahoma to the Final Four. Believe me, I know that’s tough to swallow. And I know it’s very easy and tempting to just shut down after the early tournament exit and wait for football to start again next fall. But that would be a mistake. Packing it in now would mean that you miss a West Virginia baseball team with an extremely bright future and a present that could get them in striking range of an NCAA Tournament. Admittedly, it’s been easy to ignore WVU baseball in the past. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the last time West Virginia reached the NCAA Tournament, and up until last year, the Mountaineers played at dilapidated Hawley Field, a home field that held West Virginia back for years. But West Virginia baseball finally made it into the 21st century with the opening of Monongalia County Ballpark last year — it’s finally fully completed, and it’s a place where you absolutely have to catch at least one game. And if you come for the brand-new stadium, you’ll have to stay for the talented team. West Virginia will always have trouble hanging around with the Big 12’s big boys, but this year’s squad might have as good a chance as any. The Mountaineers return an accomplished, veteran starting rotation of senior Ross Vance, junior Chad Donato and sophomore B.J. Myers, who last year combined to be one of the conference’s stingiest and hardest-working units. But the real hope for the team lies in the young talent up and down the lineup. Four freshmen have broken into head coach Randy Mazey’s starting lineup this year, and three of them — outfielders Darius Hill and Kyle Gray and shortstop Jimmy Galusky — are hitting over .300 so far in their first seasons of college baseball. West Virginia can also count on the talents of sophomore third baseman Kyle Davis, who’s coming off a 2015 season where he hit .353 and ranked among the best freshmen in the nation. So far, WVU has had some bumps in the road in the early goings of the season — squandering a couple chances to win games at No. 10 TCU didn’t do the Mountaineers any favors — but the future is as bright as ever for this young squad. So once you’re done mourning the loss to Stephen F. Austin, do yourself a favor and head on down to Monongalia County Ballpark. No rush, we’ll be waiting. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

Mazey earns 100th win in sweep, WVU faces Canisius tonight By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

Following a four-game stretch of consecutive defeats, head coach Randy Mazey and the West Virginia Mountaineers returned to their winning ways during a two-game series in Lawrence, Kansas. Mazey earned his 100th victory with the Mountaineers (12-8, 2-3 Big 12) in his fourth season at the helm of the program, as they captured an 11-6 victory at Kansas (7-13, 0-2 Big 12) on Saturday to go 2-0 over the weekend before Sunday’s cancellation due to snow. “I didn’t have any idea, to be honest with you,” Mazey said in an interview with WVUsports. com. “When they doused me with the Gatorade, I

thought they were mad at me because I don’t keep up with stuff like that. I’m just proud of these guys — we’ve been through a little bit of a grind here travelwise and with a four-game losing streak. We had every opportunity to be down on ourselves coming into the weekend and it took some veteran guys to lift us up.” Chad Donato’s seveninning shutout in Friday’s 1-0 victory brought Mazey within one win of becoming the fifth WVU head coach to reach the 100win mark leading the program. Then a 15-hit effort followed up from the offense Saturday, guiding it to an 11-6 victory and its first winning streak in more than a week. “We pitched really well. Chad got his first win, deservedly so,” Mazey said.

“We played unbelievable defense, young guys all over the field making great plays, and that was a really good game, pitching and defense.” Freshmen Jimmy Galusky and Marques Inman led the way with three hits apiece, combining for a pair of RBIs and doubles. Galusky’s four doubles are the third most on the team, trailing only fellow freshman outfielder Darius Hill (10) and sophomore AllAmerican Kyle Davis (5). Hardy shut down the resurgent Kansas offense after it scored six runs in the first five innings, recording the game’s final 11 outs to earn his first save of the season. He and Conner Dotson relieved lefty Ross Vance following a struggling outing where Vance pitched 2.2 innings, al-

lowing all six runs (four earned) and six hits. “Chad Donato yesterday, Jeff Hardy and Conner Dotson pitched well today,” Mazey said. “And throw the young guys in there like they always do, and it’s just a really good team win.” WVU now faces a red-hot Canisius team for a twogame midweek set, which has won six straight, surpassing eight-plus runs in the past four games. Jake Lumley and Anthony Massicci each had four RBIs in Sunday’s 11-7 comeback victory, clinching the series sweep of Saint Peter’s. Lumley’s .322 average is tops for Canisius, along with 12 RBIs and four extrabase hits. But he’ll potentially have to get past freshman Tanner Campbell on the mound Tuesday, who enters with a 1-0 record in

three starts. Campbell surrendered four runs (three earned) in last Tuesday’s 5-4 defeat at Penn State, including five strikeouts in four innings. However, he made his mark in the previous outing versus Radford. He allowed just four hits and one run in the 6-2 victory during the Mountaineers’ last home game two weeks ago, striking out six en route to his first career victory at the collegiate level, likely pushing himself to the top of a midweek starting spot. “That’s what I came in wanting to do,” Campbell said. “It’s a good feeling knowing that you’ve earned it, but you can’t really rely on that. One thing happens and it’s gone.” cgjackson@mail.wvu.edu

WVU’s Marsh finishes career at NCAA Championships

performance,” Riggs said. Friday’s men’s 100 backstroke was the most anticipated race for Marsh, as he has performed well in the event throughout his four years as a Mountaineer. To no surprise, Marsh recorded his best finish of the weekend, placing 17th overall with a time of 46.15 in the prelims. However, Marsh would finish just .05 seconds shy of a spot in the finals. “He was right at the prelim time from the Big 12 Championship, which was good,” Riggs said. “His finish wasn’t as clean into the wall, which probably cost him his spot in the finals. However, to be 17th is a

great accomplishment.” For his final event on Saturday, Marsh swam in the men’s 100 freestyle to conclude his second-consecutive appearance in the NCAA Championships. Marsh was seeded 19th nationally coming into his third and final event but finished 39th overall in the 100 freestyle. Marsh touched the wall in 43.64, which was just .02 seconds ahead of 40th. Earlier in the season, Marsh earned an Olympic Trial qualifying time of 50.50 in the 100 freestyle at the USA Swimming Winter Nationals, which featured many of the nation’s elite swimmers.

To add to his memorable senior campaign, Marsh won the men’s 100 backstroke last month at the Big 12 Championships, setting a Big 12 and school record with a time of 45.41. Marsh’s first-place finish would be the only win by any Mountaineer during the Big 12 Championships, as he also added two silver and bronze medals in Austin. “Andrew had a solid performance and great swims this week,” Riggs said. “He felt his tempo was a little slow at times, but he came ready every day. He represented the Flying WV very well.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Tennis

Mountaineers drop third consecutive Big 12 conference match By Neel Madhavan Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The West Virginia University women’s tennis team will have to wait a little longer for that elusive first Big 12 Conference win. After dropping its first two Big 12 matches to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma last week, the Mountaineers (6-8, 0-3 Big 12) fell in a tough, emotional match this past weekend at home in front of a sizable crowd at Ridgeview Racquet Club to Iowa State (13-4, 1-2 Big 12), 4-2. “We’re still seeing some of the tendencies and difficulties that we’ve been working on and trying to improve throughout the season,” said WVU head coach Miha Lisac. “Overall, we’re not yet where we need to be. It’s unfortunate that we have to lose a match like this one in order to continue learning, but that’s the reality of the situation.” In doubles, sophomore

Carolina Lewis and freshman Paula Goetz struggled mightily at the No. 1 position, while the No. 3 duo of junior Kaja Mrgole and sophomore Lyn Yuen Choo took care of business, winning 6-2. The doubles point came down to the No. 2 pairing of sophomores Yvon Martinez and Habiba Shaker. A service break allowed the WVU duo to jump ahead in the set for the first time at 5-4, but they were unable to hold their own serve and struggled to close out the match, allowing Iowa State to capitalize and seize the doubles point. Senior captain Hailey Barrett cheered on her teammates on crutches and a walking boot, as she remained sidelined with a foot injury. Shaker continued her dominant form this season, improving her singles record to 11-1 with a 6-0, 6-4 win over ISU’s Samantha Budai at the No. 1 singles position.

A high number of unforced errors plagued Budai against Shaker. Emotions ran high in Lewis’ intense match against the Cyclones’ Liza Buss. After dropping the first set 6-0, Lewis bounced back with her patented defensive, counterattacking style of play to win the second set, 6-3. Both players were noticeably tired and gassed in the third set, thanks to many long rallies during points. But Buss was able to dig deeper and pull out the third set, 7-5. After dropping the first set, Goetz was able to force a tiebreak in the second set. The tiebreak went back-and-forth as both players tried to seize control, but Goetz was unable to get over the hurdle as she fell to ISU’s Alejandra Galvis, 6-2, 7-6.

Choo’s opponent had no answer for her flat, penetrating groundstrokes as she cruised to a 6-2, 6-3 victory at the No. 4 position over ISU’s Regina Espindola. The match marked the return of Mrgole from a stress fracture. It was Mrgole’s first competitive action for the Mountaineers since a win over James Madison on Feb. 21. But the rust was apparent for Mrgole after not having played for more than a month, as she fell at the No. 5 position to ISU’s Anabella Bonadonna, 6-2, 6-4. Despite Martinez being up a set and in position to close out the match at the No. 6 position, ISU’s win at the No. 5 position clinched the match for the Cyclones and Martinez’s match was abandoned. “We had a good perfor-

mance at No. 3 doubles,” Lisac said. “There were matches that went well and things that we did well that we can build upon. We have players that have turned things around and are beginning to move in the right direction. When it comes to team competition though, that has to be a collective effort; rather than

just certain players performing well, the whole team has to play well for us to be successful.” The Mountaineers are off this week but return to the courts for two matches against Kansas and Kansas State on April 8 and 10. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Wrestling

Mountaineers trio caps off season at NCAA Championships By Joel Norman Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

While most West Virginia University students returned home for Spring Break, several members of the wrestling team competed at the NCAA Wrestling Championship in New York City. Bubba Scheffel, Jacob A. Smith and Dylan Cottrell each represented the Mountaineers at Madison Square Garden on March 17 and 18. While no one from West Virginia left New York with awards, each wrestler still picked up multiple victories. Scheffel ended his Mountaineer wrestling career by going 1-2 overall in the tournament. The first day, Scheffel fell to No. 11 Lorenzo Thomas of Penn, 4-2, in the first round of the 184-pound section. Scheffel moved to the compensatory wrestle-backs and defeated Ohio State’s Kenny Courts, 6-4, in the second round. On the second day, Scheffel faced fellow Big 12 foe and No. 12 Hayden Zillmer of North Dakota State. Scheffel failed to do any damage and lost 5-0. Zillmer collected a

takedown at the end of both the first and second periods, then escaped in the third. The loss marked the end of his action at the tournament. Smith similarly went 1-2 at the tournament but took a different path. On March 17, Smith, the No. 13 seed among 197-pound wrestlers, narrowly defeated first-round foe Owen Scott of Cornell by a score of 3-2. In the next round, Smith was ousted by No. 4 Nathan Burak of Iowa by losing 8-2. On day two, Smith faced Preston Weigel of Oklahoma State in the wrestle-backs. Weigel got an early takedown and then escaped two more times to claim a 4-0 victory, eliminating Smith from the tournament in the process. Cottrell had the best weekend, going 3-2. On Day One, Cottrell lost, 5-3, to John Boyle of American in the opening round of the 157-pound section. That evening, Cottrell picked up a major decision victory over VMI’s Neal Richards with a 9-1 triumph in the wrestle-backs. The next day was busy for Cottrell. He began the

After two scoreless periods, Cottrell got a takedown and a couple of escapes in the final period to pick up a 4-0 victory. Next up was No. 16 Markus Scheidel of Columbia in the third round of the

wrestle-backs. Cottrell recorded a takedown and took a 2-0 lead into the second period. Scheidel picked up a couple of escapes to tie the score up after two periods. In the third, he recorded another takedown and another escape to take a 5-2 lead. De-

spite losing a point for stalling, Cottrell wound up winning 8-3. As the sun went down, so too did West Virginia’s season. Cottrell fell to Joe Smith of Oklahoma State, 5-3, and was eliminated from the NCAA Championship.

With the NCAA Championship over a week old, the season is complete. The Mountaineers will have the spring and summer to recover and rebuild for next season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
