SADD promotes positive decision-making, breaks WVU stereotypes by caity coyne city editor @caitycoyne
In the midst of a culture change that has been underway for more than a year now, a new student organization at West Virginia University was recently formed to promote positive attitudes and decision making for students. The WVU chapter of Students Against Destructive Decisions was created by Melissa Head, a biology student from Charleston, West Virginia, after she lost her friend Carli Sears in a hit and run in Morgantown in January. “A lot of people don’t take drinking and driving very seriously until it happens to themselves or someone they really love, because they’re not getting that personal experience,” Head said. “I think having that personal, in-your-face experience is what really makes a difference.” The organization is dedicated to encouraging and advocating for students to practice positive decision making in every aspect of their lives, including their diet, recreational habits and physical fitness, among other things. While much of the organization’s focus will be toward drugs and alcohol, Head said they are also hoping to host programs and events on nutrition and simpler topics. “(It will) not necessarily always (have) to do with drugs or alcohol, but with things as simple as wearing your seat belt, or making sure your phone is charged when you go out, or eating healthy,” Head said. “It should be about encouraging other students, especially young adults, who haven’t necessarily been exposed to those. The organization held its first meeting last week, and it has already held a fundraising event selling

“Friends For Life” bracelets and keychains. People who bought the bracelets or keychains were supposed to give them to friends or loved ones so if they are faced with a potentially bad decision, they can see the keychain or bracelet and be reminded that they have something to lose, Head said. As SADD establishes itself on campus, the organization plans on utilizing WELLWVU resources since SADD’s advisor, Colleen Harshbarger, is the director of the Office of Wellness and Health Promotion,and many of SADD’s interests and goals are aligned with WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health’s own. While they are similar, Head believes SADD can appeal to students in a different way because of the emphasis the organization puts on students, especially since it’s student run. “I think it’s different when you hear (about destructive decision making) from your peers, not necessarily WELLWVU or some type of authoritative figure,” Head said. “That’s going to make all the difference.” After Sears’ death, Head noticed a club like SADD didn’t exist at WVU, and she thought it was crucial to have some sort of organization dedicated to helping students be educated in the potential consequences of bad decision making. “You get to college, and you start being exposed to all this crazy drinking and don’t actually understand how it’s going to affect you, until it does,” Head said. “They try to get you to do the Alcohol Edu and whatnot, but freshmen don’t take it very seriously.” In addition, Head wants the organization to show current and potential WVU students that while

Bombay Indian Grill brightens Sunnyside restaurant scene by john mark shaver staff writer @Johnmarkshaver
Walking down University Avenue in Sunnyside, West Virginia University students and locals will now be able to smell some fresh, new and exotic scents on a familiar street, coming from Morgantown’s newest restaurant, the Bombay Indian Grill, which opened earlier this week. “It’s always been kind of my dream to own an Indian restaurant,” said Vinder Goraya, the business’s owner. The restaurant serves a wide variety of food, including lamb, goat, chicken and vegetables, as well as traditional Indian cuisine like jalfrezi, kadhai, palak and curry dishes. All platters come with either rice or naan, a traditional Indian bread. Goraya, who also coowns Casa d’Amici and owns Subway on High Street, wanted to open her new restaurant closer to Sunnyside for a change. “We have all of the dorms, and the kids pass
by all the time,” Goraya said. “I think it’s as good of a location (as any).” The grill’s location, by The Rusted Musket and Glass Lab, has housed many other businesses in recent years, most notably and recently Pizza Al’s short-lived second location. While it’s unclear why the location sees so many businesses flow through it, with possible reasons including a poor location and mismanagement by previous business owners, Goraya had her own ideas. “There are a lot of pizza places already,” Goraya said. “Secondly, they didn’t advertise too much.” She said the location’s history hasn’t had a real effect on her or her new restaurant. “I’m going to try my best,” Goraya said. “I’m not really worried right now. I’m going to advertise myself. I hired somebody to take my menus everywhere; hospitals, dorms. We are very lucky with some kids here, too. When they come, they take our flyers and give them to

their friends.” Goraya also said her previous business experience can give her the edge she needs for the new restaurant to flourish. While the location currently doesn’t offer delivery, Goraya said it will be implemented within the month. Many students at WVU are excited to have a new place to try in town. “With a bunch of fast food, there’s not really a whole lot of places to get good food,” said Thomas Moore, a freshman computer and electrical engineering student. “It’ll be nice to go somewhere and have an actual meal made there, not something that comes out of a bag.” Junior computer science student Joel Fishback shared his sentiment, but with a catch. “It depends on how good it is,” Fishback said. “I’ll definitely go there, but whether or not I return depends on how good (the food) is.” In all, Goraya is hopeful

In this April 30, 2015, file photo, Apple CEO Tim Cook responds to a question during a news conference in New York. Apple Inc. on Thursday asked a federal magistrate to reverse her order that the company help the FBI hack into a locked iPhone, accusing the federal government of seeking “dangerous power” through the courts.
Apple: FBI seeks ‘dangerous power’ in fight over phone WASHINGTON (AP)—Apple Inc. on Thursday asked a federal magistrate to reverse her order that the company help the FBI hack into a locked iPhone, accusing the federal government of seeking “dangerous power” through the courts and of trampling on its constitutional rights. The filing represents Apple’s first official response since the judge’s order last week and builds upon arguments voiced by the company’s chief executive and supporters. It marks the latest salvo in a court fight that could create meaningful precedent and establish new legal boundaries in the policy battle between national security and digital privacy — a clash FBI Director James Comey says is the “hardest question I’ve seen in government.” “No court has ever authorized what the government now seeks, no law supports such unlimited and sweeping use of the judicial process, and the Constitution forbids it,” Apple
said. The Justice Department is proposing a “boundless interpretation” of the law that, if left unchecked, could bring disastrous repercussions, the company warned in a memo submitted to Magistrate Sheri Pym that aggressively challenges policy justifications put forward by the Obama administration in the last several days. “The government says: ‘Just this once’ and ‘Just this phone.’ But the government knows those statements are not true,” lawyers for Apple wrote. If Apple were required to build the software the FBI wants, the lawyers argued, “criminals, terrorists and hackers will no doubt view the code as a major prize and can be expected to go to considerable lengths to steal it.” Justice Department lawyers were reviewing Apple’s brief and will respond, said spokeswoman Melanie Newman. She said Apple had reversed “its long-
standing” cooperation with government requests, and that when Justice Department officials want to search a phone or another electronic device, “we narrowly target our request to apply to the individual device” and get a judge’s approval. A hearing is scheduled for next month. A judge in Brooklyn has yet to rule in a similar but separate case. The tech industry is slowly rallying to Apple’s side. Google, one of Apple’s main rivals, now plans to file a “friend of the court” brief on Apple’s behalf within the next week, a person familiar with the situation said. The person asked not to be identified because Google is still drafting the document. Apple had until Friday to file its formal objection, but in submitting its brief on Thursday, the company got ahead of a scheduled shareholders meeting and took attention away from Comey, who defended the Justice Department’s stance
in two separate appearances before Congress. The dispute broke into public view last Tuesday when Pym directed Apple to help the FBI gain access to a phone used by one of the assailants in the San Bernardino, California, attacks. Federal agents haven’t been able to open the phone of Syed Farook because they don’t know the passcode. The Justice Department wants Apple to create specialized software for the iPhone that would bypass some security features so that the FBI can try as many passcodes as possible without the data being erased. The Justice Department has repeatedly maintained that it’s seeking specialized software for just one phone as part of an investigation into an act of terrorism that left 14 people dead, and that Apple could retain and destroy the software once the process ends. On Thursday, Comey said the idea that the software could
Debate brawl: Rubio and Cruz go hard after Trump HOUSTON (AP)—Brawling from the get-go, a fiery Marco Rubio went hard after Donald Trump in Thursday night’s Republican debate, lacerating the frontrunner’s position on immigration, his privileged background, his speaking style and more. Ted Cruz piled on, too, questioning the front-runner’s conservative credentials, as the two senators tagteamed Trump in a debate that reflected the increasing urgency of their effort to take down the billionaire businessman before he becomes unstoppable. It was a rare night where the bombastic Trump found himself on the defensive. The two-hours-plus debate played out as a raucous night of tit-for-tat insults, with candidates shouting over one another so much that it was hard to follow at times. The showdown came just days before the Super Tuesday 11-state round of mega-voting that could all but lock up the nomination. When Trump faulted Rubio on a deal to buy a $179,000 house, the Florida senator shot back that if Trump “hadn’t inherited $200 million, you know where Donald Trump would be right now? Selling watches in Manhattan.” In another rough exchange, Rubio accused
Trump of shifting his position on deportation, hiring people from other countries to take jobs from Americans and being fined for worker violations. Joining in, Cruz criticized Trump for suggesting he alone had “discovered the issue of illegal immigration.” Trump shot back at Rubio: “I hired tens of thousands of people. You’ve hired nobody.” As for Cruz, Trump took a more personal tack, touting his own ability to get along with others and adding: “You get along with nobody. ... You should be ashamed of yourself.” Both Rubio and Cruz said that Trump had had to pay a $1 million fine for illegal immigration hiring. The candidates were pressed on why they haven’t released their tax returns as promised. The GOP’s 2012 nominee, Mitt Romney, suggested this week that Trump was holding back because there was a “bombshell” that would be revealed. Trump said he’s been audited by the IRS every year and can’t release his returns while that’s going on. Rubio and Cruz both promised to release more of theirs in the next two days. Rubio was the principal aggressor of the night, and he held nothing back. Taking on Trump’s declaration

that he’d build a wall on the Mexican border, Rubio declared: “If he builds a wall the way he built Trump Tower he’ll be using illegal immigration to do it.” Trump, for his part, insisted that even though officials in Mexico have said they won’t pay for his planned wall, “Mexico will pay for the wall.” And he said that because Mexico’s current and former presidents had criticized him on the issue, “the wall just got 10 feet taller.” Trump, known for his frequent use of coarse and profane language on the campaign trail, scolded former Mexican President Vicente Fox for using a profanity in talking about Trump’s plan for the wall. “He should be ashamed of himself and he should apologize,” declared Trump. After Trump mocked Rubio for his “meltdown” in a previous debate when the Florida senator repeated rote talking points, Rubio swatted right back, scolding Trump for spouting the same five things over and over: “Everyone’s dumb. He’s going to make America great again. We’re going to win, win, win. He’s winning in the polls.” Trump was hardly silent, responding to both Rubio and Cruz: “This guy’s a choke artist and this guy’s a
liar. ... Other than that I rest my case.” While Rubio was loaded for bear from the start, Cruz ramped up his criticism as the night wore on and argued that Trump wouldn’t be an effective opponent against Hillary Clinton in the general election. The finger-pointing extended to foreign affairs, with Cruz saying of Trump’s plans to negotiate a solution to the Mideast conflict, “He thinks Palestinians are a real estate deal.” Making light of Cruz’s repeated attempts to diminish him, Trump said: “Keep fighting, keep swinging, man, swing for the fences.” There was this back-andforth after one particularly heated exchange: Cruz to Trump: “Donald, relax.” Trump to Cruz: “I’m relaxed. You’re the basket case.” The debate’s location in Houston gave a nod to the primacy of Texas in the Super Tuesday voting: There are 595 delegates at stake, 155 in Texas. The debate audience included former President George H.W. Bush, 91, and his wife, Barbara - who missed out on the chance to see their son Jeb take part. He dropped out of the race after a poor showing in the first states to vote.

get “out in the wild” was not a legitimate concern. But Apple said the specialized software the government wants it to build does not currently exist and “would require significant resources and effort to develop,” including the work of six to 10 engineers working two to four weeks. The magistrate judge suggested in her ruling that the government would be required to pay Apple’s costs. Apple compared forcing it to create software that doesn’t exist to weaken the iPhone’s locks to forcing a journalist to publish false information to arrest a fugitive or forcing another software company to implant a virus in a customer’s computer so the government could eavesdrop. And it accused the government of working under a closed courtroom process under the auspices of a terrorism investigation of trying “to cut off debate and circumvent thoughtful analysis.” “The government wants
to compel Apple to create a crippled and insecure product,” the company said. “Once the process is created, it provides an avenue for criminals and foreign agents to access millions of iPhones.” In addition, Apple invoked the First Amendment in arguing that computer code is akin to free speech and that forcing it to write the new software would run afoul of its constitutional rights. Apple pointedly noted the U.S. government itself fell victim to hackers, when thieves stole the personal information of tens of millions of current and former federal workers and their family members from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. While Apple and the Justice Department battled in federal court, members of Congress were eyeing legislation that would require companies to help law enforcement agencies access electronic devices locked by encryption.
Sherrif says gunman, three others dead after shootings in Kansas HESSTON, Kan. (AP)— A sheriff in south-central Kansas said Thursday that four people, including a gunman, are dead after a series of shootings at a business, its parking lot and two streets nearby. Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton said at a news conference that all the dead were shot inside Excel Industries, a plant in Hesston that makes lawn mower products. He said 14 were injured in the shootings, 10 critically. A law enforcement officer killed the gunman, who worked at the plant, after he began shooting at them, Walton said. The man traveled between sites firing from a vehicle before reaching the plant, the sheriff said. Walton said about 150 people were likely in the plant at the time of the shooting, and that the law enforcement officer who killed the suspect “saved multiple, multiple lives.” He said the gunman had an assault weapon and a pistol. The officer who killed the man is “a hero as far as I’m concerned,” Walton said. “This is a fairly peaceful community and to have something like this is tragic,” he said. The sheriff would not discuss a motive but said “there was some things that triggered this individual.” Erin McDaniel, spokeswoman for the nearby city of Newton, said the suspect was known to local authorities. She wouldn’t elaborate. The shooting comes less than a week after authorities say a man opened fire at several locations in Kalamazoo, Michigan, leaving six people dead and two se-
verely wounded. Martin Espinoza, who works at Excel, was in the plant during the shooting. He heard people yelling to others to get out of the building, then heard popping, then saw the shooter, a co-worker he described as typically pretty calm. Espinoza said the shooter pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger, but the gun was empty. At that point, the gunman got a different gun and Espinoza ran. “I took off running. He came outside after a few people, shot outside a few times, shot at the officers coming onto the scene at the moment and then reloaded in front of the company,” Espinoza told The Associated Press. “After he reloaded he went inside the lobby in front of the building and that is the last I seen him.” A nearby college was briefly locked down. Hesston is a community of about 3,700 residents about 35 miles north of Wichita. Excel Industries was founded in Hesston in 1960. The company manufactures Hustler and Big Dog mowing equipment and was awarded the Governor’s Exporter of the Year award in 2013 from the Kansas Department of Commerce. Walton said the FBI and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation had been called in to assist. A spokeswoman for the Kansas City office of the FBI did not immediately return a call seeking comment Thursday night. “This is just a horrible incident. ... There’s going to be a lot of sad people before this is all over,” Walton said.

Restricting abortions hurts women The most common method of performing abortions after the second trimester is set to become banned in West Virginia later this week. The dilation and evacuation method, most commonly known as “dismemberment abortions” on the Internet in articles featuring anti-abortion rhetoric, is the safest abortion procedure for women after the first trimester. Nationally, only 11 percent of abortions occur in the second trimester, with 89 percent occurring in the first trimester before the development of many major organs and bodily functions in the fetus. The dilation and evacuation procedure involves the use of both a vacuum and forceps to remove fetal tissue
Anti-abortion supporters protest outside one of West Virginia’s only abortion clinics. from the uterus instead of just a vacuum, as in aspiration abortions during the first trimester. There are a number of reasons why a woman must receive an abortion
during their second trimester. Rape victims may not think to take a pregnancy test in the first few months following the event due to emotional trauma, and women who live in ru-

ral areas may not have access to healthcare clinics before the first few months of pregnancy have passed. They may also be impeded by legislation in their region that would require
them to travel elsewhere to receive an abortion, which may involve waiting until the second trimester to do so. Abortions have been occurring since the beginning of recorded history, and many of the non-medical methods used in the past have caused great risk to mothers. Before modern times when medical clinics were able to offer safer procedures and anesthetic to women, inserting sharp objects into the vagina, partaking in intense physical labor and eating poisonous plants were all ways in which women terminated their pregnancies. Making abortions harder to obtain in this state will not decrease the number of women who seek them, and this may cause an in-
crease in unsafe practices that could risk the life of the mother. If a practice will continue behind closed doors regardless of what rules and regulations are in place to stop it, lawmakers should consider at least ensuring safe procedures to women during this trying time in their lives. Lawmakers should realize that abortions are not regarded as a form of easy birth control among women and are most often used as a last resort. West Virginia women deserve the chance to rise in their careers and education without hindrance and not be impeded by the results of unplanned pregnancies. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Apollo 10 mission: Is there life on other worlds? robby ralston columnist @dailyathenaeum
Are we alone in the universe? As the Apollo 10 astronauts orbited the moon in May 1969, they suddenly heard an eerie whooshing sound playing from their radios. At this point, the crew was more than 100 hours into its flight and had two important mission maneuvers quickly approaching. However, this didn’t stop them from commenting on the “outer space-type music,” which they decided not to tell ground control about. This tale has all of the necessary parts of a conspiracy claim, and such a story has been circling the Internet in the past week. Conspiracy theorists accuse NASA of only recently declassifying the document and the older sound recording in a thinly-veiled attempt to hide evidence of extraterrestrial life from the public. After all, what could the sound be if not evidence of alien communication? On Monday, NASA published an alternative explanation, claiming that the recording had indeed been classified when the mission ended, but was declassified in 1973 and made available in the national archives. As systems were updated, the files were put online in 2012, which is the date accusers question. Moreover, the aim of
this-space-available.blogspot.com
The crew of Apollo 10 reported hearing strange sounds while in space. Apollo 10 was mostly to test systems and take measurements for use in Apollo 11, the first mission in which humans landed on the moon. As part of these objectives, the spacecraft split into two vehicles in order to simulate parts of the moon landing, which made this the first mission to have two different manned spacecraft transmitting signals at once. In light of this, a recent TIME article concluded that interference from these sources as well as normallyinaudible background radiation from space were most likely the culprits for the sounds. Thus, the conspiracy claims don’t seem very
plausible; this wasn’t alien music. However, is it ridiculous to think we aren’t alone in the universe? Is it strange or unreasonable to think so? The answer seems like it will depend on two factors: How many planets in the universe have conditions where life can arise, and what is the probability that life will arise on any one of these planets? To answer the first question, scientists from the Planetary Habitability Laboratory located at the University of Puerto Rico define the “habitable zone,” or HZ, of a star as the range of distances from a star where a planet could sustain liquid water
on its surface. Liquid water, they explain, is “an essential ingredient for the development of life as we know it,” and though stranger alternatives could be imagined, this seems like a good assumption. The PHL estimates that there are at least 4.2 trillion planets within a star’s HZ in the universe. Therefore, if you think that the probability of life emerging on a random planet in a HZ is around one in 4.2 trillion, it makes sense that we are the only planet so far with life. However, if you are optimistic about the formation of life, you will likely believe there are other planets harboring some type of
lifeform. The massive number of habitable planets the universe makes this mindboggling. For instance, even if life only forms on one in a million planets in the HZ, this means there could be around 4.2 million planets with life in the known universe. The science on the formation of life, called abiogenesis, is rapidly progressing. However, some scientists seem to think we are far from a good explanation. This partially turns to the question of how many planets have life, as our optimism or pessimism will influence the type of explanation we seek.
If life is a pretty common thing in the universe, then its sheer abundance is reason enough to look for a plausible explanation as to what caused it. But if life is very rare—one in 4.2 trillion—then we are looking for an event that perhaps only happened once throughout the entire age of the universe. In this case, we are actually looking for a highly implausible explanation because it must be such a rare event. We need to distinguish this discussion from one about intelligent life, though. The probability of other intelligent life existing must be sizably lower than the probability of any form of life existing, since not only would it have to form, but it would have to evolve in a particular way. It is much less likely that there are intelligent aliens, and even less so that they are trying to communicate with us. I tend to think we should be optimistic about the existence of other life in the universe, though maybe not intelligent life. However, this belief shouldn’t be a license to believe in conspiracy claims about aliens and the federal government. As with anything, we should weigh the issues with the best evidence we can find. Not only will this protect us against wild speculation, but we may even find that things are stranger than we had supposed. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Senate bill providing rural broadband will benefit state in Internet age katherine gault correspondant @dailyathenaeum
When the Federal Communications Commission released its annual Broadband Progress Report last year, it merely confirmed what residents of rural West Virginia already knew. More than half of the state was not connected to the internet by anything faster than what amounted to dial-up speeds, and 74 percent of the rural areas didn’t have the fastest of broadband speeds (25 Mbps/3 Mbps). In fact, when comparing all American states and territories’ Internet connections, West Virginia was ranked 48 out of 51. So when a new broadband bill with the goal of establishing an open access network throughout the state crossed the desks of the West Virginia State Senate last week, they voted 29-5 to approve it. While I think this decision was a nobrainer, there were several concerns with the bill. The most popular of these issues argue that the government doesn’t need to stick its nose in what should be the private sector’s domain. There were also issues surround-
DA
ing West Virginia’s debt problem. This bill, should it move forward, promises government bonding and grants, and dissenters feel this will only financially burden the state even further. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Carmichael, a Frontier Communications executive, claims that existing providers won’t invest in expanding systems on their own if they know the government will be their competition. This sentiment was echoed by several others, but I find fault in their logic. I also question how Senator Carmichael can take the lead on this issue when there seems to be a conflict of interest, as he would presumably benefit financially if the bill was to die. While I am often in support of private businesses handling infrastructure needs rather than the government, in this case their help would be fruitless. West Virginia’s current broadband providers have been servicing this state for years, and it’s done nothing but make us the third-worst state in the union. In June 2015, the aforementioned Frontier Communications accepted over $283 million from the FCC’s Connect America Fund to expand and provide broadband for
1.3 million rural Americans, but by December 2015, they were paying $150 million to settle a lawsuit to upgrade its system to the level it claimed it had been providing all along. Sadly, this tendency is not exclusive to just Frontier, and this is why it is imperative that the state government take the lead in this case. West Virginia residents have taken a financial hit over the last several years from the campaign to reduce carbon emissions due to burning and mining coal. Unemployment has skyrocketed, and even today the future of this state’s economy is still in flux. While our state government shouldn’t foolishly throw money at everything, it does need to help this state reinvent itself to a certain extent. College students know that Internet access is no longer a luxury, but is rather a necessity of life on all levels of business and education. However, the people who need it the most to pull themselves up by their bootstraps are simply not connected. If the next generation of West Virginians is going to thrive, technology will have to be readily available at a price that won’t break them.
Rural West Virginia residents currently experience very slow Internet speeds. The only problem is that Internet providers aren’t going to invest millions to connect those who desperately need access unless there is something substantial in it for them. They build toward areas where there are plenty of potential customers who are able to pay upwards of $200 per month for service. This is just not possible for West Virginians, and now that the country is in the midst of weaning itself off coal, a skill like computer proficiency is a necessary step to becoming employed again.
Senate President Bill Cole, R-Mercer, reminded us in a recent news column of the great employment possibilities stemming from this bill. The state will take on the temporary burden of providing bonds and grants to different companies for their role in extending the existing network, thus spreading the financial burden around and enticing more companies to move here. This will immediately provide jobs and ensure the development of necessary communication infrastructure for those who end

up getting jobs in the technology sector or any one of the many future businesses which will be drawn to the state. The additional benefit of this being a governmentorganized open-access network is the ability to ensure the best possible prices for new rural-dwelling customers. All-in-all, this bill is a plan that distributes both responsibilities and wealth while keeping everyone working honestly toward a better future for this state. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

As a part of WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health, WVUp All Night is offering a threehour tutorial on cooking healthier alternatives called cookWELL. WVUp All Night is a weekly program that begins Thursday night and ends Saturday night. It takes place at the Mountainlair where various events are scheduled for the students’ enjoyment. Health and wellness promotion is what WELLWVU is all about. Developing ideas and campaigns to better the overall wellbeing of WVU students is its main objective. WELLWVU has been around since 2009 and has experienced much success with its programs. Last semester, WELLWVU hosted an
event at WVUp All Night that promoted exercise. Recently, WELLWVU decided to launch a campaign called eatWELL for the month of February. Student event coordinator, Ankur Kumar, wanted to improve the eatWell campaign, so he pitched the idea of cookWELL to Colleen Harshbarger, director of WELLWVU. Together, they brought it to fruition. “We had already worked once between WVUp All Night and WELLWVU,” Kumar said. “They were doing an eatWELL campaign. We had to do something to branch off of that.” In the Lair’s food court, 12 portable griddles and some blenders will allow cookWELL to produce the chosen menu items. The main entree on the menu is a veggie quesadilla using a whole wheat tortilla. The quesadilla includes fresh vegetables, black beans, salsa and your choice of condiments. Another healthy choice will be a soy milk-based smoothie made with kale, spinach, Greek yogurt and fresh fruit.
These smoothies strip away the excessive sugars and artificial flavors found in most smoothies. “The menu was a big part of this,” Kumar said. “We wanted to make sure that everything we’re doing is, not only fun and teaching these students how to cook, but teaching them the right things to cook.” The event is free of cost, just like all other events hosted by WVUp All Night. Although it’s a tutorial, students who show up will take part in making their dishes. “That’s the really unique part,” Kumar said. “They’re going to be given their own plate and we’re going to show them the right proportions.” In addition to learning how to cook on griddles and use blenders, participants will receive complimentary recipe cards to try what they’ve learned by themselves. CookWELL will begin at 9 p.m. this Friday in the Mountainlair Food Court. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Full House gets new life on Netflix, mixed reviews by meg weissend A&e writer @dailyathenaeum
One of the most rerun television shows of its generation, “Full House” continues to share the beloved story of the popular San Francisco family across the nation. The warmhearted comedy about a widower raising his young daughters with the help of his brother-in-law and best friend aired on ABC from 1987-95, and has run almost perpetually since then in syndication around the world. Tonight, Netflix is bringing the Tanner family back to town in a spin-off of the hit ‘90s sitcom. With almost all the original cast members returning to the screen, “Fuller House” has created quite a buzz in Hollywood. The follow-up series with a deliberately retro aesthetic follows Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Kimmy (Andrea Barber) as they come together to help DJ (Candace Cameron Bure) raise her three sons. Danny (Bob Saget), Jesse (John Stamos), Joey (Dave Coulier), and Becky (Lori Loughlin) will also guest
The first season of ‘Fuller House’ is scheduled to release this Friday on Netflix. star in select episodes of deliberation with cast the show.

teens and then there’s the moms and dads who grew up watching the show that now have kids of their own, and there’s even a grandparent generation.” Child stars and identical twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen became famous for their shared role as the adorable Michelle Tanner. As of now, the sisters have not agreed to ap-
pear in “Fuller House,” but both cast members and fans remain hopeful for the future. Franklin has repeatedly said “the door is always open.” Due to “Full House’s” overwhelming success, the cast predicts a high view count for “Fuller House.” “This is why ‘Full House’ has stood the test of time,” said Bure in an interview
with New York Daily News. “It’s classic.” Bure compares the continuing popularity of “Full House” with the timelessness of “I Love Lucy” and “The Brady Bunch.” “I can watch those episodes with my kids over and over again—fun, laughable comedy is always enjoyable,” Bure said. Stamos was the one who continuously pushed “Fuller House” forward and helped to get it off the ground. He was on board before most of the original cast members confirmed they would return for the spinoff, at least for an episode or two. Stamos believes the closeness between the cast on and off screen is what made the world fall in love with the sitcom. “We never stopped loving each other,” Stamos said in an interview with People. “That magic you saw? It’s still there because it never stopped from the day that we ended the show.” Tune into Netflix tonight, to watch the newest generation of “Full House” brought to life. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu
Spring Shoe Releases: Breaking down the hottest kicks on the market by corey elliott a&e writer @dailyathenaeum
Sneaker culture has undoubtedly been on the rise over the past few years. More recently, the hype has been surrounding Adidas’ Yeezy collection by Kanye West. West’s shoes are almost unattainable without a plug. It was rumored the “Pirate Black” Yeezy 350 Boost was re-releasing last Saturday, but that proved to be false. Now, sneakerheads patiently wait for the next release of Yeezy news. Below are some practical pickups dropping in the month of March. 1. Air Jordan 2 “Wing It” It pays homage to a Nike campaign ran in 1986, when the shoe first released. This retro 2 is the second release of the Air Jordan “Poster Collection.” The first release of the collection is an all black Air Jordan 12, which releases this Saturday. The 2 features an all white croc texture with black lining, tongue and laces. Where Nike shoes normally have “Nike” printed on each upper heel, the Wing It 2’s will have “Wing” on the left shoe and “It” on the right shoe instead. The Air Jordan 2 “Wing It” drops Saturday, March 5 for $190. 2. Nike Kyrie 2 “Brotherhood” Kyrie Irving is onto his second signature
shoe, and he made sure to honor Duke University, where he played for one year before entering the NBA Draft in 2011. The “Brotherhood” is dominated by a Hyper Cobalt upper with a black strap, white sole and logos. It’s ideal for the Blue Devils. The Kyrie 1 also has a “Brotherhood” colorway, using the same trio of colors. The Kyrie 2 “Brotherhood” drops Saturday, March 12 for $125. 3. Under Armour Curry 2 “Birthday” Under Armour hit it big by taking a chance on Steph Curry, and it’s now paying dividends. His second signature shoe hasn’t disappointed yet with a couple of dope colorways already out there. The previously released “Father to Son” and “Northern Lights” colorways are both bright, bold shoes. In celebration of the reigning MVP’s 28th birthday on March 14, the Curry 2 “Birthday” will be all white with Electric Blue hits and a confettiesque sole and lining. The Curry 2 “Birthday” drops Tuesday, March 15 for $130. 4. Air Jordan 4 “Dunk From Above” Nike threw a gum bottom on this retro 4 and it’s absolute fire. Ever since the discontinuation of the Air Jordan 3, this is arguably the most popular retro of all time. Next to the 11, there has been a newfound love for the retro 4. With a unique colorway of Midnight
Navy leather, Varsity Maize lining and a gum sole, it’ll be interesting to see if these sit on shelves like some of the more recent releases. The Air Jordan 4 “Dunk From Above” drops Saturday, March 19 for $190. 5. Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” Another adored colorway of a retro Jordan is this model, which was last released in 2004. It features a tumbled white leather with the iconic French Blue color throughout. It’s a simple, yet very clean silhouette. The Air Jordan 12 “French Blue” drops Saturday, March 26 for $190.

Concerns with diversity overshadowing Oscar nominees LOS ANGELES (AP) ‑ Sunday’s Academy Awards promise a three-way race for best picture, performances by Lady Gaga, Sam Smith and the Weeknd, and the likelihood of first Oscar wins ever for Leonardo DiCaprio and Sylvester Stallone. But no one is talking about it. Oscar host Chris Rock and telecast producers Reginald Hudlin and David Hill - who would typically be promoting the show this week to inspire tune-in have gone silent. Academy officials are staying mum. Hollywood’s diversity issue is dominating buzz, demanding airtime and threatening to overwhelm the industry’s biggest night. That leaves Hudlin and Hill with the unenviable challenge of presenting a show celebrating the best of the movie business when its worst features have been in focus. The producers declined interview requests from The Associated Press, as did Rock and film academy representatives. It’s fair to expect Rock who called Hollywood “a white industry” in a 2014 essay - to address the diversity issue up front, and industry experts say he’s perfectly suited for the job. “That opening Chris Rock monologue is going to be key to how the overall telecast is perceived,” said Dave Karger, chief correspondent for Fandango. com. “He’s the kind of guy

Leonardo DiCaprio and The Weeknd are among this year’s Oscar nominees. who can treat all of this with the perfect amount of edge and humor.” “This is not the year you want Ellen DeGeneres or Billy Crystal up there,” said Steve Pond, awards editor for TheWrap.com and author of “The Big Show: High Times and Dirty Dealings at the Academy Awards. “That would be awkward.” Hollywood’s lack of diversity has taken center stage since last month’s Oscar nominations revealed a second consecutive year of all-white acting contenders.
Producers have assembled a diverse array of presenters for Sunday’s show, including Morgan Freeman, Sofia Vergara, Kevin Hart, Whoopi Goldberg, Sarah Silverman, Tina Fey, Kerry Washington, Quincy Jones and “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams and star Daisy Ridley. Last year’s winners Eddie Redmayne, Patricia Arquette, J.K. Simmons, Julianne Moore, John Legend and Common are also set to appear. Then there are the nom-
inees, who’ve been somewhat overshadowed this awards season by the industry’s larger issues. “The Revenant” leads with 12 nominations, including best picture, and it’s locked in a three-way battle with the investment dramedy “The Big Short” and the journalism tale “Spotlight” for the night’s top prize. Other contenders are “Bridge of Spies,” ‘’Brooklyn,” ‘’The Martian,” ‘’Room” and “Mad Max: Fury Road.” The leading best-pic-
ture nominees split the guild awards: “Spotlight” claimed the Screen Actors Guild’s top prize, “The Big Short” won with producers and “The Revenant” brought Alejandro Inarritu a second consecutive Directors Guild of America award. Many academy voters are also guild members, which means Inarritu could also take home his second directing Oscar. He’s up against Adam McKay (“The Big Short”), Tom McCarthy (“Spotlight”), George Miller
(“Mad Max: Fury Road”) and Lenny Abrahamson (“Room”). DiCaprio (“The Revenant”) and Brie Larson (“Room”) have swept the acting categories at other awards shows this season and are favored to win on Sunday. DiCaprio faces Redmayne (“The Danish Girl”), Bryan Cranston (“Trumbo”), Matt Damon (“The Martian”) and Michael Fassbender (“Steve Jobs”). Larson is nominated alongside Cate Blanchett (“Carol”), Jennifer Lawrence (“Joy”), Charlotte Rampling (“45 Years”) and Saoirse Ronan (“Brooklyn”). Regardless of what the Oscars’ host and producer may add to the diversity conversation, they plan to present the traditional 24 awards and feature musical performances by original song nominees Gaga, Smith and Weeknd and a special appearance by Dave Grohl. “The show can’t solve the diversity problem in the academy, and the academy can’t solve the diversity problem in the entertainment industry, which is really the bigger problem - not what gets nominated for Oscars, but what gets made and who gets hired,” Pond said. “The show can address the issue, as I’m sure it will. Beyond that, it’s not their job to convince the world that the academy has changed its tune and will have a diverse slate of acting nominees next year.”
Mick Jagger continues producing HBO’s ‘Vinyl’ series LOS ANGELES (AP) ‑ As Mick Jagger is driving around Latin America on tour with The Rolling Stones, he’s seeing familiar advertisements promoting his latest project plastered around town. This time it’s not his music - but the HBO series “Vinyl,” which he created and executive produced. “I’m in Argentina and I’m driving to the gig and there are big billboards on the freeway, ‘Vinyl!’” he says happily over the phone. “It’s quite funny really.” The show about the music industry in the 1970s debuted this month and has already been renewed for a second season. It stars Bobby Cannavale as a troubled record executive in a music industry mixed with drugs and sex; other cast members include Ray Romano, Olivia Wilde and Jagger’s son, James Jagger. “Obviously it’s fictional,” Jagger says with a laugh. “It’s a drama series and in a drama series you really want to bring out the characters, the narrative ... having said that, of course you also want to instill in people the sense of the times and you want them to buy in that. ...You have to make it believable - that’s our overarching goal, whether it’s actually true or not.” Jagger said filming the show - which he created with Martin Scorsese - reminded him of the 1970s when the Stones were dominating the music scene and touring around the world. “I never worked at a recording company like that because in that time I was working at Atlantic Records with Ahmet Ertegun, and there’s some of that in there, but it’s a combination of a lot of things,” he said. “It’s a particular crazy time and place for this
particular company.” In the series, which airs at 9 p.m. EST on Sundays, Jagger’s 30-year-old son plays the role of Kip Stevens, the lead singer of the punk rock band Nasty Bits. “Well, first of all, I thought he was really good so I didn’t have to worry too much. I mean, if he was really, really not good, maybe I wouldn’t have been the one to tell him,” Jagger said. “I was really pleased with his performance.” The Jaggers worked together on the song “Rotten Apple,” which Nasty Bits perform in the debut episode on “Vinyl.” “I’m happy to help him in any way when I’ve got time to do it,” the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer said of James Jagger. The icon added that he didn’t think of recording his own music for the series - “I wouldn’t say it would never happen” - but music from others for the show has been released and more will come. “Vinyl: Music from the HBO Original Series - Volume 1” was released this month and “Vinyl: Music from the HBO Original Series - Volume 1: Finale” will be released on April 15, two days before the 10-episode first season wraps. Digital EPs will be released Friday with music from the series. Jagger, who has been busying producing TV series’, films and documentaries, said he’s never been interested in being a record label head like Cannavale’s character in “Vinyl.” “Everyone has their little imprint, but actually owning something like that would drive me nuts. Literally nuts,” he said. “We want to be an artist; you don’t really want to Bobby Cannavale and Olivia Wilde star in the new HBO series ‘Vinyl.’ be involved too much business.”

From Grammys to Oscars, Sam Smith is reaching new heights LOS ANGELES ‑ Though Sam Smith has mingled with Hollywood’s elite thanks to the success of “Writing’s On The Wall” — the Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe-winning James Bond theme song — he feels like the glitz is just a bonus. It was getting the OK to do the song that remains close to his heart. “I don’t think very much of myself most of the time, but when (they) ask you to have a go at that, I was just like, ‘I can’t believe they’ve asked me,’” Smith recalled. “People ask if I was scared and I genuinely wasn’t. ...I think maybe because in the back of my head I was thinking it maybe wasn’t going to happen and just getting the chance to do it was amazing because I know there were other people pitching songs.” “Writing’s On The Wall” was clearly the right choice: The British singer’s single topped the U.K. charts; it won best original song at last month’s Golden Globes and it’s competing for the same honor at Sunday’s Academy Awards. His competition includes Lady Gaga, the Weeknd, David Lang and J. Ralph. At 23, Smith has the chance to become one of the youngest acts to win the prize. It took just a day to pen the song, which he wrote with his “Stay With Me” collaborator Jimmy Napes, he said. “And then the strings took six months; the production took ages,” Smith said. He’ll perform the “Spectre” song at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, when the show airs on ABC at 8:30 EST on Sunday. “I’m trying to not think about it to be honest. But, yeah, it’s going to be fun,” he said. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Smith talks about his Oscar nomination, being drunk at the Golden Globes and going dark after winning four Grammys last year, including song and record of the year for “Stay With Me.”
AP: How’s it feel to be an Oscar nominee? Smith: All the awards are just a huge bonus and I just find it fascinating, getting to see all these actors and sitting near Leonardo DiCaprio at lunches and (stuff ) like that. AP: Did it feel extra special doing a Bond theme song since you are British? Smith: It feels like the ultimate film song. ... It was on my bucket list as my ultimate dream. AP: Was it different writing ‘Writing’s on the Wall’ compared to your album songs? Smith: It was and it wasn’t. I worked with Jimmy Napes so it was actually the same. In terms of the content, lyrically, yes. We read the script and I purposely wanted to make this song really vulnerable ...that’s what I am as an artist and it’s what I do and how I speak and I didn’t want to have to change that. I wanted it to be a Sam Smith-Bond song. AP: What’s it like competing with Lady Gaga for best original song? Smith: I’m just honored honestly to be standing next to her in some way. We did the (Oscar) luncheon ...and I queued to watch Lady Gaga sing when I was 17 years old overnight in London. And I just keep going back to that moment: That was me in that (expletive) queue and now I’m standing next to her to her being nominated. ...It’s very, very surreal. ...She is, to me, the definition of an entertainer. AP: At the Golden Globes, you seemed really surprised when you won. Smith: Me and Jimmy, we came to L.A. two days before; I think we were drunk permanently for four days. Normally I’m insanely professional and I’m like ‘don’t drink’ and I’m all prepared and fresh. I was like, ‘We are not winning this. Let’s just have fun and enjoy this moment and have fun with it.’ I genuinely had no idea. I just couldn’t believe it. I think I was just drunk all night (laughs).
Sam Smith is nominated for an Academy Award for his song ‘Writings on the Wall.’ AP: Are going to the film awards shows different than the music ones? Smith: It’s very different. I don’t know if I’m wrong in saying this but it feels more elite, if that’s the word. It feels more like, ‘Wow.’ And also, do you know what it is? It’s kinder. That’s what I found. It was a kinder atmosphere. I felt like all the actors knew each other and worked with each other in the past, and it was just a nicer atmosphere; just a lot friendlier. Not to say that the Grammys aren’t friendly, but everyone was like sitting around the table, having a drink, chatting to each other; whereas the Grammys are very in-and-out, and you’re like sitting there for a bit and then going in and then sitting there. AP: What was it like returning to the
rollingstone.com
Grammys this month after winning big last year? Smith: It’s strange. I feel more together for sure. I feel like I got my head on my shoulders a bit. This time last year would have been after the Grammys — it was actually one of my darkest moments actually. I went through a really; the Grammys were the happiest I’ve been, and then straight after I went into a pit of sadness for a bit. So, yeah, I feel a lot better now. AP: Why were you sad? Smith: I’m a melancholy person, so I feel like when you go through a happy moment that incredible, then afterward the only way is down a little bit. I was just going through a moment basically. Having a moment (laughs).

Mountaineers hope to capture win on Senior Night against OSU By Alec Gearty Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum
Before heading out on the road to wrap up the regular season, the West Virginia women’s basketball team (21-8, 10-6) will play its final home game of the season on Saturday against the Oklahoma State Cowgirls (20-7,106). This time around, it’s a battle for conference seeding. WVU and Oklahoma State share identical conference records and are tied for third place behind Baylor and Texas. A win means taking sole possession of the third position and distancing itself from Oklahoma and Kansas State, the only teams mathematically capable of getting past WVU and OSU. The two teams are seeing each other for the second time in as many weeks, last playing on Feb. 13, that ended up in Oklahoma State’s favor by a score of 63-51. From the opening tipoff, the Mountaineers struggled to compete against the Cowgirls as they trailed 17-4 early on and couldn’t muster a comeback. The Cowgirls have two players in the top 10 in conference scoring: Brittney Martin and Kaylee Jensen, first and seventh place, respectively. In their previous meeting with WVU, Martin had difficulty finding scoring success, shooting 18.8 percent from the field and registering eight points, but she did add 17 rebounds. Jensen is a different story, as she finished with a game-high 18 points. She was a force in the paint, giving WVU’s Lanay Montgomery a problem all night. Jensen was the deciding factor in the game until she fouled out with two minutes left of play. “They competed and were physical,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “We weren’t” Since the meeting in Stillwater, both the Cowgirls and Mountaineers have won two of their last three. Most recently, Oklahoma State is com-
ing off a win against lastplace Kansas. Martin scored 24 and is averaging 26 points per game coming into Morgantown, and Jensen added 18 of her own against the Jayhawks. West Virginia will ride the momentum of its 13-point comeback against TCU last Wednesday. Bria Holmes recorded a season-high 30 points against the Horned Frogs but had no such result against OSU in early February. Holmes posted a mere nine points before fouling out, marking the only time she’s fouled out this season. Tynice Martin led the Mountaineers in scoring with 13 points, but no other WVU player reached double-digit figures. Much like Wednesday’s matchup, it will be a matter of what defense can outlast the other. Before WVU stood tall on defense, TCU was having its way exploiting the Mountaineers transition defense. When the defense came around, the Horned Frogs offense became virtually non-existent. “Once we started to play defense, we held them to eight points,” Carey said. “It’s a shame we don’t play defense for 40.” OSU allows the third fewest points in conference play while scoring the fourth fewest. A reason Oklahoma State dangerous is its ability to create second chances and offensive rebounding. Martin and Jensen are first and second on the offensive rebounding charts, with Martin being the only one in triple-digits. Oklahoma State led 24-11 in second chance points. However, behind OSU’s leading duo are WVU’s Montgomery and Arielle Roberson. Before the season, many didn’t expect the Mountaineers to compete with the top teams in the conference bus as the team is entering its last home game, they are now in a position to control their own destiny. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Depth key as No. 14 WVU faces injury-riddled OSU BY CHRIS JACKSON
ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @CJACKSONWVU
After ending a two-game slide Monday evening, the No. 14 West Virginia Mountaineers are out to continue building off a huge victory over No. 17 Iowa State. Jaysean Paige broke a school record for points off the bench, scoring a careerhigh 34 points, and Tarik Phillip added 22. The entire bench outscored Iowa State’s bench 69-10, posting the program’s highest bench total in more than 20 years. “(Phillip) has put in just an incredible amount of work. Unlike some guys, when he started to make some he didn’t stop,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “The other guy that’s in there all the time is Jaysean (Paige). It’s really a good formula.” The duo missed just 13 of their 31 shots, catapulting the bench past the sixman rotation of Iowa State. It could be the same story Saturday. Oklahoma State has to
live without its top two players for the remainder of the season. Phil Forte hasn’t played since Nov. 19 after suffering an elbow injury and heralded freshman guard Jawun Evans is now out for the remainder of the season (shoulder). Both were the team’s leading scorers. Forte averaged 15 points last year and 13.3 in the first three games this season. Evans was averaging 12.9 points and 4.9 assists during his first year in Stillwater. Instead, they’re both out facing a Mountaineers team whose bench paved the way towards many of their 21 victories. Daxter Miles Jr. also returned following a hamstring injury that resulted in a two-game hiatus, and the entire team was finally healthy once again. The Mountaineers remain two games behind Kansas with three to play. The win led to the team’s first victory since a 73-42 demolition of last place TCU on Jan. 13, including one of the team’s best allaround efforts all year.
“Our strength is in our numbers,” Paige said. “The way we play, we need guys to come in and give us solid minutes and guys to come in and give some guys breathers. When you’ve got four or five guards and let off with everybody, it feels important, including bigs too. When somebody subs in, there’s no let off. It’s just constant attacking. When everybody’s healthy, it’s a big boost for us.” WVU cruised to a 7760 victory over Oklahoma State the last time the two met in January. Jevon Carter had 16 points and Jonathan Holton added 15, with the team forcing 16 turnovers to improve to 14-1. Oklahoma State has the Big 12’s lowest-rated turnover margin (-0.89), and they’re only rated higher than Iowa State in offensive rebounding, two categories WVU leads the conference in. Only two of its healthy players score in double-figures, led by Jeff Newberry’s 11.4 points per game. The Cowboys have lost three in a row and five of the last six following Wednes-
day’s 71-49 loss to rival Oklahoma, committing 18 turnovers and shooting 34 percent in the defeat. Jeff Newberry’s 19 points and 5-of-10 effort from long range was one of the team’s only highlights. Now, they get a Mountaineer squad that has regained its identity with everyone back. The bench is coming off a record-breaking performance to get back on track and keep WVU in the thick of the Big 12 title race, hoping to maintain one of the conference’s top seeds for the upcoming tournament. “When we have our whole team healthy and we got everybody back, it’s hard to beat us because we have more depth and we can do what we want to do,” said WVU senior Jonathan Holton. “When we have guys out it’s hard to carry rhythm because we aren’t supposed to get tired, but we get a little tired sometimes. We’ve got so used to pressing for 40 minutes that it just comes natural.” cgjackson@mix.wvu.edu

WVU continues season-opening trip with three games at UNLV BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77
The season is in full swing for the West Virginia University baseball team, as the Mountaineers continue their season-opening road trip with a three-game series at UNLV this weekend. In rebounding from a loss to Charleston Southern in the season opener to take two out of three last weekend, West Virginia showed flashes of what they could be – a team with overwhelming starting pitching, bolstered in the lineup by talented freshmen. The Mountaineer starting rotation of Chad Donato, Ross Vance and BJ Myers didn’t allow an earned run in the series with Charleston Southern, topped off by one of the best games of Myers’ career. In a 3-0 win on Sunday, Myers threw eight scoreless innings, striking out five and allowing only five hits and one walk. Myers’ sterling effort led him to receiving Big 12 Pitcher of the Week honors, becoming the third Mountaineer to win that award, alongside former stars Sean Carley and Harrison Musgrave. “BJ was unbelievable,” said head coach Randy Mazey in an interview with WVUSports.com. “The last two games, we threw two shutouts and only walked two guys on the weekend and had 21 strikeouts. We pitched really well, and that was the difference.”
BJ Myers and catcher Ray Guerrini meet on the mound last season against Butler. Mazey also gave a taste of Charleston Southern, and all what his lineup could look four look to feature again this like, featuring as many as weekend against UNLV. four freshmen – with sopho“We played great defense, more star Kyle Davis moving pitched really well and had to third base and leading off, some really timely hitting,” that left freshman Cole Aus- Mazey said. “Some of the tin at second base and hitting older guys in the lineup sacthird, with promising West rificed some personal goals Virginia native Jimmy Ga- to try and help the team win, lusky playing shortstop and which was encouraging.” hitting eighth.

selves against Major League Baseball’s Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday, before heading to Hawaii for a fourgame series with the Rainbow Warriors next weekend. But before that, West Virginia will need to deal with a UNLV team that has become a frequent Mountain West contender under head coach Tim Chambers. Chambers took the Rebels to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly a decade in 2014, although they failed to follow up that momentum
with a disappointing 25-31 campaign last year. The Rebels started the season last weekend with a mighty road test at one of WVU’s toughest conference rivals, No. 23 Texas. While they scratched out a dramatic 4-3 win in the season opener off a 12th inning home run by senior catcher Andrew Yazdanbakhsh, they dropped the last two games by a combined score of 18-2. Junior Rebel righthander DJ Myers will face Chad Donato tonight, with Ross Vance
facing senior ace Kenny Oakley on Saturday and BJ Myers meeting senior Ben Wright on Sunday – as it stands, we unfortunately seem set to miss out on a showdown between BJ Myers and DJ Myers. Tonight’s game between West Virginia and UNLV is set for 9 p.m. at the Earl Wilson Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. Saturday’s game is set for 5 p.m., while Sunday’s will be played at 4 p.m. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

Rifle
No. 1 Mountaineers set to defend GARC title this weekend By Connor Hicks Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum
While the West Virginia University rifle team has already punched its ticket to the NCAA Championship, the team will still be in action this weekend before a trip to Akron in March. The No. 1 Mountaineers (12-0, 8-0 GARC) will travel to Oxford, Mississippi this weekend to defend the Great American Rifle Conference Title. Arguably the most dominant conference in the nation, the GARC tournament will
likely display three of the eight teams to qualify for the championships next month. T h e Mo u n t a i n e e r s shot the highest qualifying score in the country last weekend to assist the highest average score throughout the season. With the two, the Mountaineers are the top seed entering both the GARC tournament and the NCAA championships. “I think we will keep our focus as we move into the next match. We have to put this one behind us and focus on the conference championship,”
said WVU head coach Jon Hammond in an interview with WVUsports. com following the qualifying match. “I think everyone still has things to work on, so it is all about keeping that focus and consistency throughout the next couple of weeks.” West Virginia is the clear-cut favorite to win, having already beaten every team in the conference. While the entire conference is highly ranked, the nation’s top team has had no problem putting down opponents en route to a third-consecutive regular season GARC
title. On top of winning all eight matches, the Mountaineers outpaced GARC opponents in both disciplines. They have won their eight conference matches by an average of 70.4 points per match, in addition to setting an NCAA record by shooting a 4740 against Akron in January. The match will take place Friday-Sunday at Ole Miss in the Patricia C. Lamar National Guard Readiness Center. West Virginia shot a 4713 in a Nov. 1 win over the Rebels in the same building.
The Mountaineers hold a conference-record nine GARC titles as well as possessing the only undefeated conference record for a third-consecutive season. Like the Mountaineers, the weekend will not be the last match for No. 3 Kentucky and No. 8 Nebraska as both teams qualified for the NCAA Championship. AlaskaFairbanks, Murray State, Ohio State, TCU and the Air Force Academy also qualified for the championships in an announcement Thursday evening. The No. 3 Wildcats are
the only other team to sit atop the polls this year, briefly topping the threetime reigning national champions for two weeks in November before the Mountaineers took the No. 1 national ranking back. Following the GARC tournament, West Virginia will be the No. 1 seed in Akron, Ohio for the NCAA championship on March 11-12. The Mountaineers will be searching for a fourth-consecutive national title and NCAA-record 19th overall national title. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
Gymnastics
WVU travels to Philadelphia for multi-team meet tonight By Carter Sokolowski Sports Correspondent @DailyAthenaeum
After a successful home meet with high scores recorded in every event, the West Virginia gymnastics team looks to continue its momentum in a four-team meet in Philadelphia at 5 p.m. tonight. The Mountaineers will compete in the annual Unite for Her Pink Invitational against Penn State, West Chester, Southern Connecticut and Temple, taking place at the Pennsylvania Convention
Center. In its previous meet, West Virginia put up a score of 195.6 in its eventual loss to then No. 24 Kentucky. The 195.6 score marks its third-highest finish of the season. After dropping out of the rankings following a few tough road matchups, the Mountaineers are back in the National Rankings, coming in at No. 23. These are the first rankings of the season that use regional qualifying scores. These RQS scores are used to determine who qualifies for the NCAA Re-
gional Championships at the end of the year. The top 36-ranked schools based off of these scores qualify for the competition. The scores are based on the team’s best six scores, three are at home and three are on the road. West Virginia currently holds an RQS score of 195.42, enough to bump up its ranking this week. The Mountaineers have a good chance of taking home a win for the first time in five meets, holding a higher ranking than their opponents for the first time since their meet on February 5th against Iowa State.
Having a higher ranking doesn’t mean it will be an easy one for West Virginia. While it’s leagues ahead of three of the opponents, Penn State’s squad is nothing to scoff at. The Nittany Lions have not competed in enough meets in order to be given an RQS score, but with an average meet score of 195.075, they will in all likelihood rank in the top 30 with a solid performance on Friday. Penn State and West Virginia gymnastics have a long history against each other, heavily favoring the Nittany Lions. Penn State boasts a
30-6 record against the Mountaineers, which includes last year’s dominant road win in Morgantown with a final score of 196.750-195.900. Penn State’s last meet was a win on the road against Maryland where it put up a score of 196.350, hitting the elusive 196 mark that West Virginia has failed to obtain so far this season. Junior Kiera Brown won the all-around title and had the highest scores of the day on vault and bars with marks of 9.825 and 9.9, respectively. Look for her to be the X-factor in Friday’s meet.
The other teams in the meet are a less daunting matchup than the Nittany Lions but are nevertheless still talented squads. West Chester comes in at No. 55 in the National Rankings, Temple at No. 57 and Southern Connecticut State at No. 64. With only two more away meets slated on the schedule, Friday’s meet is massively important for the Mountaineers, who are looking to drop one of their more unsightly road scores with a solid performance in Philadelphia and possibly get a victory. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
Track
Mountaineers brace for Big 12 Championship By Joel Norman Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLIE GUMP! Love Jenna & Seth
The West Virginia University women’s indoor track and field team competes at the Big 12 Championship today at 10 a.m. The second day of events begins at 11 a.m. Saturday. Iowa State hosts the Big 12 Championship and com-
petition will take place at the Lied Recreation Center in Ames, Iowa. “Training has progressed nicely over the last few weeks,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary in an interview with WVUsports. com. “As we go into the Big 12 Championship, we are setting the goal of returning home with eight All-Big 12 performers. We have had a nice season, but we would like to cap it off with our best meet of the year.” West Virginia will need to get past the 10 other Big 12 teams to do this. Four of them are ranked in the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Poll. Baylor is No. 24 in the rankings, Oklahoma State is No. 11, Kansas State is No. 7 and Texas is No. 5. West Virginia competed in five events this season. The most recent was the Penn State Tune Up on Feb.
20. Sophomore Maggie Drazba won the 3,000 meter run in a time of 9:38.41. 12 other Mountaineers finished in the top five of their events. “This meet served us well,” Cleary said. “Each event group had some very positive moments. Amy (Cashin) joined a very exclusive club, running under 4:40 today. I was especially pleased with her race after being slightly off the last few weeks. Our vaulters were clearing bars, and they look good for conference.” Last season, West Virginia placed ninth at the Big 12 Championship. However, 10 Mountaineers were rewarded for their efforts with All-Big 12 honors. Texas claimed the Big 12 championship last season, its second consecutiv championship and seventh win overall.
While West Virginia never appeared in the USTFCCCA poll, there were still some highlight moments from the season. Freshman Danique Bryan won two long jump events and seven Mountaineers won their events at the High Point University Team Challenge. Four Mountaineers also recorded career-best scores at the Akron Invitational earlier this month, marking considerable improvement for the team. West Virginia now turns its attention towards performing well at the Big 12 Championships and advancing to the NCAA Ind o o r Cha mp i o n s h i p. Should the Mountaineers qualify for the NCAA Championship, it would be the sixth time in nine seasons with Sean Cleary as head coach. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

OKLAHOMA STATE
Both the West Virginia University men and women’s swimming and diving teams took to the pool for the second day of the Big 12 Swimming and Diving Championships in Austin, Texas on Thursday. On Monday, the West Virginia men posted top-three finishes in the first five events of the conference championships. WVU claimed second place in both the 200-medley and 800-freestyle relay events. Sophomore diver Michael Proietto also earned a medal on Monday, placing third in the 1-meter diving event, to propel the Mountaineers to first place on the first of four days. “It was a solid start for both the men and women’s teams,” said WVU coach Vic Riggs after the first day of competition in an interview with WVUsports.com. “We had great swims in our relays. Our divers stole the show and scored huge points, which gave us huge points on the men’s side.

It’s a long meet, and now we need to capitalize on this momentum going forward.” The WVU men’s team kept up the impressive performance in relay events, taking second place in the 400-medley relay. Seniors came up big for the Mountaineers’ men’s squad, as Andrew Marsh, Max Spencer, Ross Glegg and Chase Williams finished behind Texas with a time of 3:13.06. Junior Nate Carr also notched a top-five finish in the 200 IM, touching the wall in 1:47.27 to claim fourth place in the finals. In the men’s 50yard freestyle, Ross Glegg and Merwane Elmerin claimed top-five finishes in the event, with just 0.03 seconds separating the two West Virginia swimmers. Senior Jaimee Gillmore also competed in the 50yard freestyle finals, touching the wall in 22.96 to earn sixth place. On the diving platform for the women, Lindsay Schmidt placed seventh in the 1-meter diving event finals, scoring 267.80. In the women’s 400-medley relay, the WVU
relay team of Courtney Miller, Emma Harris, Maggie Miller and Jaimee Gillmore kept a strong presence in the pool for the Mountaineer women’s team. WVU finished third in the 400-medley relay, which was good enough for the best finish of the night for the women’s team. Junior Emma Skelley also notched a top-five finish in the women’s 200 IM, placing fifth in the finals. The third day of events will take place at 11 a.m on Friday at the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center in Austin. Preliminary events for the 400 IM, 100 fly, 200-freestyle, 100-breaststroke, 100-yard backstroke and 3-meter diving event will kick the day off in the first session.
