Club to raise money for autism by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

April is Autism Awareness Month, a time for encouraging people across the world to learn about autism. Autism Speaks U Chapter President Nellie Guzman, a West Virginia University senior political science student, said the following of Autism Awareness Month. “The point of this month is just to raise awareness on what autism is,” Guzman said, “because not many people understand or really

know what autism is.” Founded in 2008, Autism Speaks U is a program designed for college students to get more involved in autism awareness, advocacy and fundraising. WVU’s chapter, founded in 2011, is the only Autism Speaks U chapter in West Virginia. Throughout April, Autism Speaks U will hold a number of special events. The Powderpuff Tournament is this year’s big fundraiser. The all-girl football tournament, to be held at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, April

26, at the Medical Center Fields is still open for registration to teams of six to 10 players. Registration can be done either at special booths set up this week in the Mountainlair or by emailing autismspeaksuwvu@gmail. com. Registration is $20. “It’s going to make for a great time,” Guzman said. “There’s going to be a concession stand and prizes for the top three teams, the most creative team uniform and the team that raises the most money.” The tournament is open

to the public with no admission cost, although donations will be accepted. Other events include a paid admission fashion show at the Waterfront Hotel from 4-7 p.m. Saturday, and the Taste of a Fiesta Dinner from 6-8 p.m. on April 23 in E. Moore Hall. Plates will cost $5 and will be first come, first serve. All proceeds from these events will go toward autism awareness. Next Thursday before the Fiesta Dinner, students can pay a dollar to participate in a Pie in the Face event be-

hind the Mountainlair from noon – 3:00 p.m. Those getting pied will include Student Body President George Capel and Mr. Mountaineer Ellis Roper. Today, WVU Cares Day will take place in the Mountainlair from 10 a.m.4:45 p.m. WVU Cares Day is a product of efforts between Autism Speaks U, WVU Special Olympics, and S.O.C.K-IT (Students Optimistic for Curing Kids). “We’ll be advertising what student (organizations) are out there to help

Fraternities, sororities participate in annual Greek Week games by courtney gatto staff writer @dailyathenaeum

While Greek Week provides many community service opportunities for participants, there is always a little time for some old-fashioned fun and competition. Every year, West Virginia University’s Greek life community comes together to pull off Greek Week, a competition between Greek organizations that requires them to participate in many community service events and other activities. The actual week of events took place last week, April 6-10, but due to poor weather conditions some events were rescheduled for later dates. Throughout the original week, many competitions were held including a blood drive, card making and art supplies drive, but the annual Greek Games, one of the most popular and eagerly awaited events, was rescheduled for yesterday. Jessica Li, the Student Program Advisor for the Office of Student Activities, plays a large role in Greek Week and the Greek Games. She said the Greek Games are traditionally held every year and are a series of games that are played by each of the teams for a chance to win points for

Univ. adds ceramic 3D printing to art college by hollie greene

Staying true to this year’s new motto, the West Virginia University College of Creative Arts is making sure Mountaineers go first. According to Shoji Satake, associate professor and coordinator of ceramics for the School of Art and Design, WVU is home to one of the first ceramic 3-D printing programs in the nation. Though the concept of 3-D printing has been around since the early ‘80s, it is only now reaching an affordable point in the marketplace for institutions of higher education. Satake began pushing for WVU to acquire this technology after frequent trips to Bowling Green State University where he met Professor of Art John Balistreri. Through Balistreri, a ceramic artist, Satake was inspired to apply this new technology in his classroom. To his great excitement, the University received his requests positively, and Satake was able to secure grant money to implement the program. “I think we’re in a very unique situation here, and I think the University really sees this as a positive thing. They’ve seen what we’re doing, and they’ve been really supportive,” Satake said. Though it ’s been around for some time, the concept of 3-D printing can still be baffling to some people. Satake broke the process down into simple steps to explain. “Basically, what it does is like a Xerox machine.

You put the piece of paper down and the ink runs over it, right? Well, essentially what this does is, instead of paper, it puts down a really fine layer of ceramic powder and it uses an ink cartridge that, rather than having ink in it, has a binding solution,” Satake said. “It prints just like that layer by layer creating the 3-D object.” Students in the program are not only getting the opportunity to work with this new technology, but some students even went as far as to build their own 3-D printers from parts they ordered online. Through a process of trial and error, using sophisticated computer software and their new printers, students in this program create everything from ceramic tools for class to busts of themselves and their peers. Beyond that, Satake said he believes that in the future, 3-D printing will become instrumental in the public’s daily lives. “It will be almost like the microwave,” Satake said. Because ceramic is one of the only materials the human body doesn’t reject, Satake said he can envision the technology being used for medical procedures and bone reconstruction. For now, Satake said he’s excited for students to begin familiarizing themselves with the technology so that, when it becomes instrumental, they are already ahead of the curve. Questions concerning the ceramics programs can be directed to Shoji Satake at 304-293-3512. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Students speak out to Student Government Association about engagement by kendall snee staff wirter @dailyathenaeum

The Student Government Association sponsored a forum where 10 student organizations showcased their service learning projects last night in the Mountainlair. The event was part of West Virginia University’s annual Week of Engagement, sponsored by the Center for Service and Learning. “We had a number of student organizations sign up, we narrowed (them) to a list of 10, first come first serve. These groups in particular display community service around campus,” said Tyler Yim, SGA director of outreach. “The idea is to showcase what they have done over the past year and what great student organizations we have and show off our student life here at West

Virginia.” Although this was the first year for such a forum, Yim said the turnout was impressive and that he hopes to reach even more students next year. The forum received help from George Capel, student body president; Alexis McMillen, program coordinator for WVU’s Center for Service and Learning, and several SGA volunteers as well as the student organizations being represented. The student services showcased at the forum were the following: Alpha Phi Omega, Omega Phi Alpha, Alpha Omega Epsilon, Mortar Board, Autism Speaks, S.O.C.K-IT, Amizade Serve and Learn, Sports and Exercise Club, 4H and Engineers Andrew Spellman/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Without Borders.

Authorities enter the home of shooting suspect Kenneth Stancil in Dudley, N.C., Monday following a shooting at Wayne Community College. One person was killed Monday morning in a shooting at the community college that was locked down as authorities searched for the gunman, officials said. A manhunt is underway for Stancil.

Manhunt on for ex-college student in campus shooting GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) — A 20-year-old former community college student fatally shot a campus print shop director who had recently fired him, just as his old boss arrived for work Monday morning, school officials and authorities said. A manhunt was underway for the suspect, Kenneth Morgan Stancil III. Authorities are pursuing him on an open count of murder, Wayne County Sheriff Larry Pierce said. Authorities believe Stancil has left the area but is still in North Carolina. They have not released a motive for the shooting. Stancil entered a large Wayne Community College building about 8 a.m. with a rifle and went to

the third-floor print shop, perhaps using a back staircase so he would go unnoticed, authorities and school officials said. Stancil’s former work-study boss, Ron Lane, was killed in the print shop. He had worked at the school for 18 years. The shooting frightened students and the campus was put on lockdown as officers stormed the building. First-year student Jovaun Williams, 24, told The Associated Press that he was climbing a staircase inside the building and had almost reached the second floor when he heard a single muffled pop. He recognized the sound as a gunshot, similar to the kind he heard growing up

in a tough neighborhood near Long Beach, California. He didn’t know where it came from. “You hear a shot and my biggest things is, ‘Get out of there,’” he said. “It definitely wasn’t where I was at, so that was good enough for me.” By the time he walked back downstairs, he saw police officers running into the building with their guns drawn. The building, the Wayne Learning Center, houses the cafeteria and library, among other things, school spokeswoman Tara Humphries said. Stancil was a third-year student at the college but it wasn’t immediately clear when he last attended. Goldsboro city spokes-

woman Kim Best said he was let go recently, but she didn’t say when. Police are using helicopters and dogs to search for him. Authorities weren’t sure how he left campus, including whether he left in a vehicle. At one point, authorities thought they had cornered the shooter in a restroom and fired tear gas into it, only to find that it was not Stancil in the bathroom, Wayne County sheriff ’s Maj. Tom Effler said. Authorities have described Stancil as a white man, about 5-foot-11, with a goatee and a tattoo around his left eye and on his neck. S h e r i f f ’s deputies blocked the driveway to the white mobile home

listed as the residence Stancil shared with his mother and two younger brothers. A next-door neighbor on the road lined with brick ranch homes, Barbara Williams, said Stancil’s grandparents lived on the other side of the mobile home, where they operated an assisted-living home. A sign in the front yard said “Stancil Family Care Home.” An elderly man with a cane who came to the front door declined comment to an AP reporter. Williams said Stancil once helped her late husband when he fell out of his bed. “He came over here and picked him right up and put him back on the bed,” Williams said. “I’ve never

had no problems with those kids. ... It just surprises me.” At the school, first-year student Joniece Simmons, 19, said she was sitting on a bench outside the learning center when two officers with rifles and a third with a drawn handgun ran toward the building, shouting for students to take cover in a safe place. She and others ran inside to the cafeteria and locked the door. Though they were urged to stay silent, some students still wanted to talk. “I was like ‘Hush, it’s serious.’ I was crying,” Simmons said. Classes were canceled Monday, but the college was expected to reopen Tuesday.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The white South Carolina police officer charged with murder in the shooting death of a black man can be heard telling his supervisor twice that he didn’t understand why the man ran away, according to dashcam video. That officer, Michael Slager, in is jail and has been fired in the wake of the April 4 shooting death of Walter Scott, 50, who was buried over the weekend. The shooting happened after Slager pulled Scott over for what the officer said was a broken taillight on his Mercedes. Scott was behind some $18,000 in his child support payments, and family members have said he may have run because he was worried about going back to jail. A warrant had been issued for his arrest. The shooting was captured on a cellphone camera by a man passing by and became the latest example nationally of an unarmed black man shot by a white police officer, further stirring outrage. The shooting was not captured by Slager’s dashboard camera, which shows what appears to be a routine traffic stop until Scott takes off running. But the cellphone video shows Slager firing eight times at Scott. SLED has released almost food choices were a pepperoni roll, a large icee, a slice of pizza and a large order of fries. “It kind of made me sick to my stomach to watch, but it was very entertaining,” said Haley Kozar, a senior nursing student. Each team was comprised of three or four Greek organizations around campus, and represented a different superhero for the theme of this year. For every game, there was a first, second and third place winner chosen and the teams were awarded

13 hours of dashcam video from the cruisers of the five officers who responded to the scene. State Law Enforcement Division spokesman Thom Berry said Monday that the actions of all North Charleston officers at the scene are being reviewed. Any findings will be forwarded to a local prosecutor. On one video, Slager can be heard answering a call on his cellphone. “Everything’s OK, OK?” he tells the caller. “I just shot somebody.” He also tells the caller: “He grabbed my Taser, yeah. He was running from me.” The officer initially said after the shooting that Scott had tried to take his Taser, and the man who recorded the shooting on his cellphone said he started recording after noticing a scuffle. Slager can later be heard on the video talking to an officer Berry identified as his supervisor. “I’m sure SLED will be on the way,” the supervisor says. “Once they get here, it will be real quick. They’re going to tell you you’ll be off a couple of days, we’ll come back and interview you. They’re not going to ask you any questions right now. They’ll take your weapon and we’ll go from there.” The supervisor suggests to Slager, “When you get a predetermined number of points in respect to what place they received. “There’s not an overall winner of just the Greek Games; each of the events help the teams that place first, second and third to get points toward their overall Greek Week score,” Li said. “At the end of the week, there will be a first, second and third place team for the overall Greek Week.” While the Greek Games provided a good time for many students, Li said she

Then there is a pause for a few seconds, and Slager speaks again, softly: “I don’t understand why he took off like that.” Another short pause. “I don’t understand why he’d run.” On Monday a small group of protesters blocked a main avenue in North Charleston and the entrance to City Hall. Attorney Malik Shabazz, the president of Black Lawyers for Justice, also appeared in front of City Hall, calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the incident. He said his group will do its own investigation and hold a national town hall meeting next weekend on race and police practices. Black Lawyers for Justice has brought a $40 million lawsuit alleging Ferguson, Missouri, and St. Louis County used excessive force and falsely arrested innocent bystanders to quell widespread unrest after the fatal shooting of a black 18-yearold man by a white police officer last year. Shabazz said whether a lawsuit is brought in South Carolina depends on what his investigation turns up. believes the cooperation that had to happen between the different organizations is a great aspect of the annual games. “It allows each team to have a couple of different organizations in it and they get to meet new people and I think that that is probably one of the best outcomes that come because of Greek Week,” Li said. “They’re meeting new people and working together as a team to accomplish something.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

OPINION Communication with SIDs key 3

editorial

Being a student newspaper at a university that is part of the Big 12 Conference, our sports staff is fortunate to cover some of the best action collegiate sports have to offer. The football and men’s basketball teams take up most of the space on the back pages of this newspaper for the obvious reason that they draw the most interest. However, all of the 17 varsity teams play under the same name, represent the same institution and wear the same Flying WV logo on their uniforms. For these reasons they all deserve to get recognition for the hours of work they put in each day to represent WVU to the best of their abilities. In the past, we have been criticized for not giving the smaller athletic programs enough attention and exposure. During an open house at The Daily Athenaeum in January, two of the coaches from

tion Directors, more commonly known as SIDs. The SIDs serve as the link between the team and the media and one must go through the SID to set up interviews with athletes and coaches. While it’s easy to forget in some cases, WVU athletes are students and not professionals and should be treated as such. Having a SID to mediate and handle the communication with the media is hence necessary to protect an athlete’s integrity. While many of the SIDs go above and beyond to facilitate our requests, others wait weeks to reply to phone calls and emails and in some cases disregard them all together. The DA is the only media outlet outside the Athletic Department’s own website and social media accounts that give coverage to some of these teams, and the SIDs should take advantage of the free exposure we offer rather

than run away from it. Athletes that accomplish excellence deserve recognition for their achievements and the SIDs should do what they can to make that happen. Given the fact most of the Division I athletic teams fail to turn a profit and keep their programs running on University funding, they also have a moral obligation to be more open and inviting to the rest of the University community. The Athletic Department needs to look over their policies and procedures when it comes to communicating with the media, to make sure it’s handled in a more efficient and uniform manner. It will help the media, the public, the athletes and the programs as a whole, and can only lead to a greater interest in some of the programs that easily go unnoticed on campus. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The inequality of gender-biased interests molly robinson columnist @darthmolly22

Superheroes. Dinosaurs. Legos. These have been the major themes of movies in the past few years. These are the topics that have launched countless memorabilia, fan fictions and hype in the general population. These are also distinctly boyish ideas, and yet I have seen countless girls around campus donning their superhero backpacks, throwing on “Jurassic Park” Tshirts and making jokes from the“Lego Movie.” I don’t know what benevolent God associated these ideas with little boys, but lately it seems like more masculine interests have started to bleed even more into the female sector. Obviously this isn’t a problem, because hello— who doesn’t like a good Velociraptor T-shirt? The main issue I have with this is the reverse. The more feminine interests are not only underrepresented in the male demographic, they’re completely absent.

While it’s complete and utter crap little girls aren’t “allowed” to be interested in any of the aforementioned themes and beyond—cars, tools, sports and what have you—it seems like the merging of male ideas into female interests is a one-way street. In much the same idea, little girls who fall into the “tomboy” personality category are endearing while more effeminate little boys are simply a burden on their parents—because God forbid a man be anything similar to a woman— translated into our collegeage demographic, there is still a “cool” aspect to being one of the guys—or at least having some of the same interests as them. Of course I am not belittling actual interests. I think it is awesome girls and anyone else feel they have the freedom to enjoy whatever they enjoy, regardless of whatever ridiculous standard may have been placed on the idea initially. But you don’t see boys talking about the latest Nicholas Sparks film. Hell, from what I can tell boys didn’t even like the over-

Perhaps this is where a Wonder Woman film could fill a void. Or splitting male and female characters 5050 in hyped-up male films. Maybe we could just have a female character who doesn’t have to hook up with a male character and doesn’t have to be a complete tomboy to be considered “cool” by male

What color is terror: Changing the way terrorism is portrayed in the media mouhammed sakkal guest columnist

About two months ago in Chapel Hill, N.C., Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha and Razan Abu-Salha were shot to death in the sanctity of their home by their neighbor Craig Stephen Hicks, police allege. They were three young Muslim American students who were active participants in community service and philanthropy and Hicks is a 46-yearold self-proclaimed “antitheist” who was taking night classes to become a paralegal. Local authorities initially stated the murders were over a “parking dispute,” and the media quickly began echoing this allegation until family and friends of the three victims spoke out. Their loved ones gave reasons why this was most likely a hate crime committed due to the victims’ religious and ethnic identities. Most news outlets did the right thing and called for further investigations to take place before concluding the motive of the attack. Only a few days later, Finn Nørgaard and Dan Uzan were shot and

killed, by Omar El Hussein in Copenhagen, according to Danish police. Film director Nørgaard was shot trying to stop El Hussein after he encountered him at a Danish cultural center with an automatic weapon. Uzan was a Jewish community member on duty as security for a bat mitzvah, who was killed at a synagogue while defending those inside. Prior to any formal investigation, authorities and media alike quickly condemned this attack as an act of terrorism. El Hussein was labeled a terrorist, with many saying he was motivated by cartoons drawn of the Prophet Muhammad. El Hussein’s history exhibited violence and crime, with links to a Danish gang called the Brothas, and according to CNN he pledged allegiance to ISIS on Facebook right before the attack. However, there’s currently no substantial evidence to suggest he was collaborating with the terrorist organization. These two tragedies have some striking similarities. In both cases, the perpetrators allegedly killed their victims because they disagreed with certain beliefs they held. Just based on descriptions in the news, all the victims

seemed to be the type of people who had huge hearts filled with love and compassion for humanity, regardless of opinions or beliefs. West Virginia University Muslim Students Association president Mouaz Haffar said the North Carolina students were an inspiration. “The three killed had some of the most inspirational lives in terms of community service, leadership, family ethics and academics. They were shining pillars of what living as a Muslim truly is. They were martyrs for peace.” Author Douglas Murray said Nørgaard, the first victim of the Copenhagen shooting, saved countless lives. “People inside the cafe now credit Nørgaard with helping to save their lives. If he had not struggled with the gunman and bought precious extra seconds for the police and others, it is likely that the number of fatalities at the free-speech event would have been far higher […] Bravery is Finn Nørgaard.” Daniel Gonn, friend of the second Copenhagen victim, said he was selfless and loving toward all. “Dan was a warm, loving and exuberant friend who was always there for

others and would lend a helping hand without hesitating. He had a huge heart with room for everyone. He was a son, a brother, a friend and a teammate who was taken from us far too soon.” People need to understand the following statement. Hate has no skin color, ethnicity, religion or race. But apparently terror does, and if you watch mainstream news networks you would know that it’s brown, Middle Eastern and Muslim. Craig Stephen Hicks killed three innocent people senselessly and Omar El Hussein killed two. Although the scenarios are similar, many in the mainstream media handled the cases extremely differently. As stated previously, in Hicks’ case, many in the media were quick to state the cause of the murders was a parking dispute. His wife’s lawyer stressed the “importance of access to mental health care services” when referring to the case, and the media didn’t change their tune until the victims’ family spoke out. In El Hussein’s case, statements made by authorities and media alike assumed the motive to be religiously inspired and,

again, labeled the crime as an act of terror. Let me be clear. In both cases, the criminals’ actions are despicable, and they deserve the swift hand of justice after a proper investigation. As a human being who values ethics, I believe this, and as a Muslim, I believe this. The Quran says: “Oh you who believe, be strong in your support of justice, witnesses for the sake of God, even if it be against yourselves, or your parents, or those who are close to you, [regardless of ] whether they be rich or poor, for God has priority over them.” Having said that, I now sincerely ask, why is El Hussein’s crime considered terrorism while Hicks’ is not? Is the term “terrorist” really only reserved for dark-skinned, Muslim males? It seems like the mainstream media’s reasoning on how to label criminals tends to follow the following logic. If you are an African American criminal, you must be a thug or a gangster, and if you are a Muslim or Middle-Eastern criminal, you must be a terrorist. But if you are a white criminal, you are just an ordinary criminal who probably had mental health issues (or was angry

about parking). Of course, not all media outlets are guilty of doing this, but enough are to make this a serious issue. Don’t think for a second this is something specific to Arabs or Muslims. Many minorities observe this phenomenon and express the same sentiment as myself, thinking, why the double standard? When this phenomenon occurs, it is not an injustice to the criminals but an injustice to the law-abiding people belonging to many ethnic and religious minorities. This is never about the actual criminal, but rather about being fair and equal when covering events like these. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness about this issue, and to call on all media to cover news in an unequivocally fair and unbiased manner.

Penn State Faculty Woodwind Quintet to perform at WVU’s Creative Arts Center tonight By Kendall Snee A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The Pennsylvania Quintet, a musical forum created 30 years ago by Penn State faculty members, will perform at 7:30 p.m. today in the Creative Arts Center. The group consists of five members each specialized in an individual woodwind instrument. The group features Eleanor Duncan Armstrong on the flute, Tim Hurtz on the oboe, Smith Toulson on the clarinet, Lisa O. Bontrager on the horn and Daryl Durran on bassoon. In celebration of the Pennsylvania Quintet’s 30 years, the group has chosen a very unique show. The set list includes favorites from J.S Bach, the famed “Reed Trio,” and a newer piece the group has been performing for about a year entitled “Cape May Breezes.” With an intoxication of the senses in mind the group aims to please all sorts of listeners, but perhaps their final piece will be

most dazzling. “The last piece on the program is a piece that the Quintet Commission made to mark its 30th season entitled ‘Compass Kaleidoscope’ and the composer is Andrea Clearwater,” said Daryl Durran, assistant director for undergraduate studies and advising in the Penn State University School of Music. “This piece is based upon quilt patterns,” Durran said. “Much like an Amish quilt with different patterns, the movements are generated from the geometry of a quilt pattern. The patterns are the inspiration for the musical writing.” With each performer rhythmically pairing themselves within the quintet, much like the symbolic pairing of pieces in an Amish quilt, this metaphor gives perfect insight for what is expected from the faculty members at tonight’s performance. “The audience is going to hear a wide variety of musical styles, since the partic-

With Durran’s wife’s above and beyond support

for the quintet, it is easy to see how much hard work and dedication the group and their supporters have put into this show. “It’s great working with these fine colleagues, and playing excellent music,” Durran said. The educators have been featured on three CD re-

cordings: American Wind Music, 20th Century Wind Chamber Music, and Recent American Works for Winds all available for purchase. The group has also played on NPR for their nationally syndicated showcase entitled ‘Performance Today’. The quintet attended the Ensemble-in-Residence at

the Sedona Chamber Music Festival and has been champion of the National Flute Association’s international Chamber Music Ensemble Competition. With a resume like this the Pennsylvania Quintet is sure to please. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Season 5 premiere recap: Cersei’s past, Tyrion’s travels, trouble in Meereen by Westley Thompson A&E Editor @westleyt93

Editor’s Note: Contains Spoilers “Fire and Blood” is the motto of House Targaryen and the most succinct way of describing the first episode of season five of “Game of Thrones.” Premiering Sunday night at 9 p.m., season five’s first episode sets the characters up for new trials and adventures. The episode begins with a young Cersei Lannister and her friend running through a forest. The two children come upon a hovel, which is the home of a forest witch. Inside, Cersei’s future is revealed to her. She will marry a king, but be usurped by a younger, more beautiful woman. Present day Cersei believes Margaery Tyrell is this threat spoken about so

long ago. Tyrion arrives in Pentos, a city across the Narrow Sea, after being stuck in a crate for the duration of a long ship voyage. Tyrion ended last season by killing both his father and his lover. Filled with despair and wine, Tyrion resolves himself to die slowly and alone, believing Westeros is done with him, and he with it. Lord Varys has other plans for The Imp, however, and explains his plan to install a rightful leader to the Iron Throne. Varys tasks Tyrion with finding Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. Daenerys, self-installed Queen of Meereen, faces problems of her own. Inside her city’s walls, a rebel group called Sons of the Harpy stalk the shadows, assassinating Daenerys’ loyal soldiers. This terrorist faction consists

of former Meereen nobles who are angered by Daenerys’ military conquest of their city and her decision to end the slave trade. Citizens beg The Dragon Queen to reopen the fighting pits as well, but Daenerys views them as barbaric and refuses. Trouble for the young ruler stems from her dragons as well. The largest, Drogon, has left the city and now roams unknown parts of the world sowing terror. Her other two dragons remain locked away in a dungeon. Daenerys is both fearful of and saddened by her monstrous “children.” Back in Westeros, in the far north along the wall, Jon Snow faces problems as well. In the previous season, after the Battle of the Wall, Jon allowed Mance Rayder and the surviving wildlings to cross the wall and set up camp in the Seven Kingdoms. Stannis

what will happen next. Jon Snow killing Mance and ruining Melisandre’s sacrificial ritual will not go unnoticed by the Red Priestess and her cohort. Unbending Stannis will listen to anything Melisandre says, and although just as in real life the power and influence of gods is uncertain, the Red God seems to be more active in the affairs of men than other deities in the Game of Thrones universe. Tyrion’s journey is bound to be eventful as well. The road from Pentos to Meereen is long and will bring the dwarf to many exotic and dangerous locations. Luckily, Tyrion’s wit should keep his head above water no matter what he is faced with. Daenerys finds herself besieged on all sides by enemies, some of which may be disguised as her closest allies. With a population that views her rule

with hostility, uncontrollable dragons and mounting armies to soon be outside her gates, Daenerys will have her work cut out for her. Cersei will occupy herself with politics in King’s Landing. Margaery Tyrell is cunning and certainly fits the old witch’s prophecy. In addition, the new High Septon has brought a resurgence of religious reverence to Westeros, and has remilitarized the church. Conflict between church and state is something to look out for in upcoming episodes. Season five has started out strong. Although the first episode didn’t feature any jaw-dropping moments, it set things up nicely for what is to come. Future episodes will certainly have everyone talking. wethompson@mail.wvu.edu

Baratheon, who believes himself to be the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, has a proposition for Snow. He will grant the wildlings citizenship and land if they join his army and help him win the crown. Later, when Mance refuses to kneel before Stannis, Melisandre burns him at the stake as a sacrifice to the Red God. The wildlings and Knight’s Watch soldiers look on in horror as Mance slowly burns alive. Jon Snow cannot take the cruelty and sneaks off to find a bow, which he then kills Mance with, putting the former “King Beyond the Wall” out of his misery. That is where the first episode ends. George R.R. Martin and the writers of the show have stated season five is where the show will diverge from the books more significantly, so even avid readers cannot predict

Mountain Stage brings talented musicians to the CAC

Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Martin Sexton was the final performer Sunday night on Mountain Stage.

Doyle Maurer Art Director @dailyathenaeum

Guitars, fiddles, banjos and an accordion are just a few of the instruments that found themselves in the hands of musicians at Mountain Stage in the Creative Arts Center Sunday night. Mountain Stage records 26 twohour radio shows yearly. The first show originally aired in 1983. Amy Speace was the first of five performers to take the stage. Speace writes and plays her own songs, including “That Kind of Girl,” her most recent single released in March of 2015. The New York Times writes, “What Amy Speace says – what she sings – she says with a confluence of poetry and honesty, of emotional specificity.” Her stage presence is one of a star, even though she flies under the radar of mainErin Irwin/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM stream music. The Milk Carton Kids perform their final song at the Creative Arts Center. As they Next was Feufollet, a six finished up, they received a standing ovation from the audience. piece group that won in the Best Cajun or Zydeco category for the 2011 Grammy Awards. Although they are considered to be Cajun inspired, Feufollet can’t be confined to a single genre. Any band that sounds like old time and plays an accordion is on my must-play list. Kelli Jones-Savoy, the one woman among five men in the group, stood out as I closed my eyes and listened to her play the fiddle and sing with a warm, raspy voice. Feufollet wasn’t my favorite of the night, but I won’t miss them if they come back to town. After a few minutes of setup, Alison Brown of The Alison Brown Quartet slowly walked onstage. Brown is known as one of the best banjo players in the country. “I went to a school [in California] where you were either a surfer or a surf chick, and I was a banjo picker,” Brown said. I’m fairly certain Alison Erin Irwin/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM played a chord on every fret Foufollet broke out an accordian for the majority of their Cajun style songs.

of her banjo during her first song onstage. The Alison Brown Quartet didn’t have lyrics and didn’t need any. The instruments spoke for themselves. My favorite performance of the night was not only a group that plucked the strings the right way, but the group that kept us all entertained for their whole thirty minutes in the spotlight. The Milk Carton Kids, Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale, came onto the stage with acoustic guitars and suit jackets. With a name like Milk Carton Kids and an attire like this, how could they not be great? Well, they were great. Their vocal harmonies were nearly perfect and their guitar picking coincided with one another flawlessly. Although they seemed to banter with each other as much as they played, it was never boring. “You guys edit this before it goes on the radio, Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM right?” asked Joey Ryan as the “On The Air” sign Martin Sexton performs his second song “Virginia” live on Mountain Stage Sunglowed red to the left of the day night. stage. The lights dimmed for Martin Sexton, and it wasn’t just because of his name. In 1992 he sold 20,000 recordings of “In The Journey,” an old 8-track recording he made in his friend’s attic. Today, Sexton brings a whole new energy to the show. He walked onstage like it was home. It’s the blues. Before he played his second song titled “Virginia” he played a short version of it and sang, “West Virginia, where would I be without ya?” for the crowd and listeners on the radio. Mountain Stage has a long history in West Virginia and I don’t see that tradition ending any time soon while artists like these are performing. I enjoyed the show so much that I took a piece of it home with me and listened to The Ash & Clay CD from the Milk Carton Kids for the rest of the Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM night. The Milk Carton Kids sing songs from their album Ashe & Clay. They did not play any songs from their most recent album Monterey. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You need to work with others in order to achieve what you want. Though you might not be able to tame your strong personality, you do need to be more compliant.

Be aware that someone could jam the airways with his or her opinions. Tonight: Happily at home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of the costs of proceeding as you have been. Tension seems to build, both professionally and personally. You have a caring style that draws in many people; however, you can do only so much. You always are expanding your options. Tonight: Respond to a call. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Ideas will flow back and forth between you and a partner, which will make you

feel more energized. Make sure that all your funds are where you want them before paying any bills or making any purchases. A family member finally might open up. Tonight: Indulge a little. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might have difficulty balancing the pros and cons of various situations, especially one that is meant to be kept hush-hush. You might want to ask for advice, but you must remain silent. Act on decisions made in the afternoon. The Force is with you! Tonight: All smiles.

HUNTING LIONS

Senior captain Taylor Munden keeps his eye on the ball while playing shortstop on Friday night’s game against Butler.

WVU continues homestand tonight against Penn State Nittany Lions by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

With the pageantry of the Monongalia County Ballpark’s grand opening behind them, the West Virginia University baseball team will settle into a long homestand at 6 p.m. Tuesday night when they take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. West Virginia’s new home was kind to them this weekend, as the Mountaineers rolled through the Butler Bulldogs in a three-game sweep. After some Friday

night jitters, the Mountaineers won their next two games by a combined score of 20-4, and appeared to have gotten used to playing on home turf. “We’re settling in,” said Mountaineer head coach Randy Mazey after Sunday’s 12-4 win over Butler. “I think the distraction and the awe and the shock value of playing in here is hopefully over and our guys can start playing some baseball.” Third baseman Justin Fox was the hero on Friday night, hitting a walk-off single in the 13th inning to finish the first game at the new

park in style. Starting pitchers Ross Vance and Chad Donato kept Butler bats quiet on Saturday and Sunday to cinch up the sweep. But the undoubted breakout star of the inaugural series was junior center fielder KC Huth, a junior college transfer who came into the three-game stand hitting just .203 after breaking his hand before the season. Huth went 9-13 with a home run, two doubles, six RBIs, four walks and four runs scored against Butler. The La Verne, Calif. native said he enjoyed playing in a different atmosphere after

so many road games. “It was definitely good to have all these people behind our back,” Huth said. “We’ve had all road games and it’s just definitely not the same here. We’ve had to travel a lot. It’s all go, go, go, and then finally it’s a little bit relaxed.” The Butler series was the start of a homestand that sees the Mountaineers play 14 out of 15 games at home, including 11 straight. Tuesday’s matchup with Penn State is the fourth game of that run, and it should be a good opportunity for West Virginia to keep their mo-

mentum going heading into a Big 12 weekend series with Oklahoma. The Nittany Lions enter with a 10-20 record, having won just two of their 18 games played away from State College, Pa. Penn State has traditionally been one of the bottom-feeders on the Big Ten baseball hierarchy, not having made an NCAA Tournament appearance since 2000. Penn State has tried to make up for a generally ineffective offense with speed, but senior outfielder Aaron Novak has established himself as an offensive threat

to watch. Novak’s .364 batting average is third in the Big Ten, and he’s hit four of Penn State’s conference-low nine total home runs. Novak is the only regular Penn State starter hitting over .280 this season. Former Atlantic-10 rivals, West Virginia and Penn State have met more than 100 times, but only four of those games have come in the 21st century. Penn State leads the all-time series 6641, and won 8-4 when these two teams met in State College last April. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WOMEN’S ROWING

WVU takes home gold medal in Knecht Cup by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia rowing team competed in the two-day Knecht Cup Regatta this past weekend in West Windsor Township, N.J. Although the team didn’t come up with as many top finishes as they hoped for, the women’s Second Varsity Eight boat won the Petite Final on Sunday afternoon, claiming a gold medal and West Virginia’s only first-place finish at the competition. The weather in New Jersey and the water conditions on Lake Mercer caused day one of the competition to begin later than expected Saturday

evening. “It was very windy on Saturday which caused the water to be very rough,” said junior Sue Hartlove. “The racing was suspended until the evening and semifinals were pushed to Sunday. There was a very strong tailwind so we had to be aware of the conditions while racing.” Day two of the Cup provided improved weather conditions allowing for much better competition. “Thankfully, there were much better racing conditions on day two, allowing us to get a better sense of how our training is going,” said fourth-year rower Mindy Sharon. “Day two was a tight bat-

tle against all crews across the board. The First Varsity Eight placed fifth in the third final, while the Second Varsity Eight placed first in the petite final. Although we always want to go out with a win in the grand finals, both boats made progress towards our end goal: Making the boats as fast as possible for the Big 12 Championships.” The women’s First Varsity Eight finished second in its heat on day one of competition with a time of 6:47.73. It also claimed fifth place on day two in their semifinal round, earning a spot in the Third Final with a time of 6:58.44. The Third Final concluded with the Mountaineers finishing fifth with a time of 7:09.94.

The women’s Second Varsity Eight, the boat that captured the gold medal in the petite final, finished with a time of 7:02.19. West Virginia barely eclipsed Alabama’s boat by a mere .77 seconds, and ultimately finished with the Mountaineers’ top performance of the Knecht Cup. The women’s Third Varsity posted a time of (7:33.29) in the very first race of the competition for West Virginia, ending its run at the Cup early on. “We learned a lot about our racing style this weekend throughout all of the races,” Sharon said. “We had a strong, competitive mindset that helped us push through a long day two. We’ve been plagued

by injuries and illness this year, but we’ve managed to keep moving forward in the right direction. Not only have the rowers been working to improve, but so have the coxswains, and they deserve a lot of credit.” “We did not end up with the outcome we were looking for, but we improved throughout the weekend and we know what we have to work on when we get back to the Mon. We did well improving technically as the races went on,” Hartlove said. The Mountaineers will be back in action Sunday at home on the Monongahela River for a scrimmage against Duquesne. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Offensive line utilizing spring practices by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

A s We s t V i r g i n i a wrapped up its ninth spring practice this past weekend inside Milan Puskar Stadium, the Mountaineers’ offensive line continues to be a work in progress. All-Big 12 Second Team guard Mark Glowinski and All-Big 12 Honorable Mention guard Quinton Spain are gone from last year’s unit, while West Virginia’s new starting five continue to build continuity. “The O-line is different than any other position. They have to develop continuity and trust each other,” said head

coach Dana Holgorsen. “The more they play next to each other, the better off they’re going to be.” The first step in replacing Glowinski and Spain came when Adam Pankey moved from tackle to guard this spring. Pankey, a 6-foot-5, 312-pound junior from Hamilton, Ohio, started all 13 games for the Mountaineers last season at left tackle, and is listed as the starter at left guard on West Virginia’s spring depth chart. “Yeah, he’s looked great there,” Holgorsen said of Pankey’s transition to guard. “He’s more comfortable there. He’s adjusting really well.” Offensive line coach

Ron Crook said replacing guys like Glowinski and Spain is never easy, but he likes what he sees this spring from Pankey and Tony Matteo. “I’m happy with the progression. Pankey is doing a good job out there. I like the way he’s going,” Crook said. “Tony (Matteo) is stepping up every day, playing hard and physical. Again, I’m not going to sit here and say that we will replace the two guys we lost.” Matteo, a 6-foot-4, 296-pound junior from Clinton, Ohio, added depth at left guard for the Mountaineers last season, seeing action in fives games and starting one against Iowa State.

Holgorsen said developing both depth and continuity will be an important factor moving forward with the offensive line. “Stone Under w o o d is playing good. Russell Haughton-James is playing good. He is very versatile,” he said. “Grant Lingafelter is coming along, so we need to develop some depth, but more important with the starters, we need to develop some continuity with these guys. I anticipate those guys getting better every day.” As for the other two returning starters, Holgorsen said he has been impressed with what he has seen from senior

tackle Marquis Lucas, and freshman Yodny Cajuste will continue to get first-team reps at the other tackle spot. “Marquis Lucas looks like a fifth-year senior. He knows what to do and he’s a different guy at this point,” he said. Lucas and center Tyler Orlosky both started all 13 games for the Mountaineers last season. “The spring is about getting guys who are ready to step in when we need them,” Crook said. “We have a bunch of hardnosed guys who are coming out everyday and trying to get better, and that’s all we can do right now.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Jordan Spieth wins Masters of the ages AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jordan Spieth tapped in his final putt to cap off a record performance and bent over in relief. He just as easily could have been taking a bow. This was a Masters for the ages.

Not since Tiger Woods in 1997 has a 21-year-old faced so little stress while making a mockery of par in a major. Not since Raymond Floyd in 1976 has anyone withstood the pressure of leading for all four rounds at Augusta National.

Only one other Masters champion — Craig Wood in 1941 — has never let anyone closer to him than three shots the entire way. Spieth took his place among the best in the game Sunday when he closed with a 2-under 70 for a four-shot

victory over Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose, becoming the second-youngest champion behind Woods to wear a green jacket. “This was arguably the greatest day of my life,” Spieth said. “To join Masters history and put my name on that trophy and to have this jacket forever, it’s something that I can’t fathom right now.” He left everyone else dazed, too. Spieth missed a 5-foot par putt on the final hole that only kept him from breaking another record this week at the Masters. He tied the 72-hole scoring mark that Woods set at 18-under 270. It was still enough to beat Mickelson (69) and Rose (70) by four shots. “Playing with Jordan, he’s going to sort of fly the flag for golf for quite a while,” Rose said. “People were getting excited about that out there. You could tell.” There were standing ovations all the way around to celebrate the latest star in golf, the next addition to a new generation just as Woods and Mickelson are approaching the back nines of their careers. Rory McIlroy is still No. 1 in the world by a reasonable margin. Spieth is now No. 2. It’s the first time players 25 or younger have been Nos. 1-2 in the world. “He’s got four majors. That’s something I can still only dream about,” Spieth said. “I don’t know, as far as a rivalry right now.” For all the hype about the Grand Slam bid by McIlroy and the return of Woods, this week was about the arrival of another star. “It’s awfully impressive,” McIlroy said after closing with a 66 to finish fourth. “It’s nice to get your major tally up and running at an early stage in your career. It’s great to see, great for the game, and I’m sure there will be many more.” Woods jarred his right wrist when he struck wood under the pine straw on the ninth hole. He didn’t hit a fairway on the front nine and never was in the game, closing with a 73 to finish 13 shots behind. Mickelson tried to make a run. So did Rose. Lefty holed a bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 15th, but he couldn’t make a birdie the rest of the way. Rose got to within three shots of Spieth on three occasions on the front nine,

and Spieth kept his nerve. He picked up two shots on Rose on Nos. 8 and 9 — the same spot where the Masters got away from Spieth last year. “I thought today might be easier having played with the lead on Saturday. It wasn’t,” Spieth said. “It’s the most incredible week of my life. This is as great as it gets in our sport. ... I’m still kind of shock a little bit.” And he will keep the editors of the Masters record book busy. Among the marks he established this week: — The 36-hole record at 14-under 130. — The 54-hole record at 16-under 200. — The most birdies for the tournament at 28. — The lowest opening round by a champion at 64. “He has no weaknesses,” Mickelson said. “He doesn’t overpower the golf course, but he plays the course strategically well. He plays all the shots properly. And he has that ability to focus and see things clear when the pressure is on and perform at his best when the pressure is on. “That’s something that you really can’t teach,” he said. “Some players are able to do it, some players aren’t. And he is.” Spieth was reminded of how far he has come, and how quickly, when he stood on the first tee with a fourshot lead and history in his hands. His caddie, Michael Greller, reminded him that the Texas golf team was playing a match in California. This would be Spieth’s senior year. “He said, ‘Face it: Aren’t you glad you’re here instead of there?’” Spieth said with a smile. It was a light moment in an arena of high pressure. Rose promptly knocked in a 10-foot birdie putt, and Spieth followed him with a birdie. It was like that all week. Spieth rolled in a 20-foot birdie putt on No. 10 for a six-shot lead. It was his 26th birdie of the Masters, breaking the tournament record that Mickelson set in 2001. The next target was the 72hole scoring record that Woods set in 1997, and he almost got there except for that bogey at the end. He twice went for the green on par 5s on the back nine, barely clearing the creek at No. 13 and going just over the back on No. 15, both times making birdie.

Opening weekend ends, now it’s time to play ball

Doyle Maurer/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Head coach Randy Mazey talks to his players during opening ceremonies of Friday’s home opener against Butler.

by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenauem

Last weekend was a special circumstance for West Virginia baseball in more ways than one. The main headline was the opening of the new ballpark and the three-game sweep against Butler, but there was another storyline that went somewhat unnoticed. The Mountaineers are still playing without a true home field advantage. This has been the case for the last two seasons, as the team has traveled from Beckley, to Charleston, to Princeton and everywhere in between for “home” games while waiting for the completion of Monongalia County Ballpark, but that fact still remains even after its opening. Before taking the field against Butler, West Virginia only had a few chances to get any prac-

tice in on its new field, so the Mountaineers were learning about its quirks right along with their opponents. With that in mind, head coach Randy Mazey tried to rotate as many bullpen pitchers and non-starters into live game action this weekend to give them a chance to get familiar before the giants of the Big 12 come to town. “Like I’ve said, we have no home field advantage here, so we’ve got to get different guys out there as soon as we can. If Tucker (Cascadden) ever has to come in for (Taylor) Munden and play shortstop, at least he’s stood out there for nine innings,” Mazey said. Implementing that plan became a lot less stressful when West Virginia built up an 11-0 lead in the first five innings Sunday, and Mazey was able to get several non-starters valuable

playing time. Tucker Cascadden, who got the start at shortstop with Taylor Munden getting the day off to rest, made the most of his opportunity by picking up a pair of RBIs and getting on base twice in three at-bats. “When we take those guys out, you’ve got to have faith in the guys that come in for them that you’re still going to be able to score runs, and we did that. Both of the new guys in the lineup today had good days,” Mazey said. It wasn’t just the nonstarters who needed the experience, however. Considering Sunday was only the third time the Mountaineers have taken the field in their new digs, everyone stood to benefit from live action. “Each game we play in here is going to give us a little bit more experience. Win, lose or draw, every time you play here it’s go-

ing to help you for the next time,” Mazey said. “It was fine, but it takes some adjustments with everything: Outfielders seeing balls coming out of the stadium, the sky is different, and who knows which way the wind is going to blow.” The wind has been another hot topic surrounding the new park. Because of where it is situated, balls have a tendency to fly out of there that might not have at Hawley Field. It all depends on Mother

Nature. “I was telling our assistants there standing in front of the dugout, there was no wind at all where I was standing and the flags were going straight sideways because it was blowing really hard out there and not at all in here,” Mazey said. “There are times when you’re standing in here and it’s blowing one way and the flags are going another way. That’s all part of getting used to the facility.” Three games might not

be enough to get used to a new stadium, but you play with the hand you are dealt, and now that opening weekend is behind them Mazey said it’s time for his team to get down to business. “We’re settling in. I think the distraction and the awe, the shock value of playing in here is hopefully over and we’re just going to start playing some baseball.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
