WVU launches music therapy degree by amy pratt

staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Beginning in fall of 2016, West Virginia University will be the first to host an undergraduate degree program in music therapy in the state of West Virginia. Music therapy is the systematic use of music to address non-music goals. Music therapists are highly trained musicians who work in various settings, such as palliative care, with premature infants or to help people with autism better their communication skills.

“There are music therapists who work in the neonatal intensive care unit. In that situation, babies who are born prematurely have a really hard time with their neurologic system coming together and being able to take in stimulation,” said Dena Register, director of the music therapy program. “We work to use music and what we call multimodal stimulation—touch and humming—to help babies learn to integrate the different sensory inputs they get…” Register said there have been students at WVU wanting to major in mu-

sic therapy, but had to leave the state to do so, which causes them to stay out of state for jobs and internships. “West Virginians who want to be music therapists leave and don’t come back. If they do come back they have to change their job,” Register said. “We are capitalizing on an interest growing across the country so we will attract students from other states, but we’re also looking at the number of students who will stay in the state because they want to major in this.” A degree in music therapy offers students a way

to participate in music and have a career serving others. Register began college knowing she wanted to continue her music, but not wanting to perform. She has worked in music therapy for nearly 25 years. “I started out as a jazz and commercial music major with voice as my principle instrument and as a sophomore went home and announced to my parents that I wanted to quit school and move to (Los Angeles) to be a jazz singer. They invited me to rethink that plan,” Register said. “I started looking

PLAGUED FROM THE START West Virginia’s drug epidemic continues to impact future generations

around and I had a friend who was a music therapy major. I talked to the professor who was in charge of that program and realized it was exactly what I wanted to do...” Prospective music therapy students must audition and be accepted into the WVU School of Music. Students in the program will continue learning about their primary instrument along with learning voice, piano and guitar. They will also take music therapy specific course-work, including psychology, anatomy and physiology. There are plans to add

a master’s and PhD music therapy program by 2018. “One of the really important things is the capacity we have to serve not only WVU students, but to serve the people of West Virginia…” Register said. “So that the people of West Virginia are being served in their hospitals, their schools and their rehabilitation facilities. That’s one of the really cool things about this, the number of people we hope to touch and provide services for and increase their quality of life in the state.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Every 25 minutes in the United States, a child is born with neonatal abstinence syndrome. Alex, above, is one of many children born addicted to drugs.

June and Lonnie Atwell of Cyclone, West Virginia, were faced with a difficult decision when they discovered their nephew, Alex, had been born addicted to heroin, OxyContin and barbiturates. They couldn’t decide whether to adopt Alex or leave him as a ward of the state. His parents were addicts themselves, and according to his doctors, the drugs were to blame for Alex’s severe autism and deafness. The drug epidemic in West Virginia is not just harming adults and teenagers addicted to opioids and barbiturates; it is also afflicting the next generation: Babies who are born addicted. Babies born with neonatal abstinence syndrome can suffer from seizures, tremors, fever, diarrhea and have difficulty feeding. Sometimes there is permanent brain damage, as in Alex’s case. The rate of babies born addicted to drugs in West Virginia has quadrupled in the last six years, and is three times higher than the national average, according to a study from the Journal of Rural Health. The study showed a four-fold increase in di-

agnoses of neonatal abstinence syndrome, from eight in 2007 to 32 per 1,000 births in 2013; the national average is four cases per 1,000 live births. In Cabell County alone, which includes Huntington, West Virginia, there were 139 reported cases of children born with neonatal syndrome in 2015, an increase from the 106 cases in 2014, according to the Marshall University School of Medicine. That number represents 1,000 times the national

average. Neonatal abstinence syndrome occurs when pregnant mothers ingest an addictive substance during pregnancy. Those substances are absorbed into the bloodstream and passed along to the developing fetus. While Cabell Huntington Hospital and Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown screen every baby for this syndrome, not all hospitals in West Virginia do. Out of the 20,363 babies born

in West Virginia last year, only 697 were officially diagnosed with the syndrome, according to the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. But experts suggest that number could be much higher. West Virginia has had the highest rate of drug overdoses in the nation for several years, and the number continues to rise. Between 2007 and 2009, there were about 22 drug

This Thursday, students can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the Mountaineer Midway Carnival as a part of Spring Into Spring week. “For our week Spring into Spring, we try to do fun events at the request of our students,” said Sonja Wilson, adviser for student activities. “Before planning everything for this week, we assess certain student groups to get their feedback on what they would like to have. In this regard, carnival items seem to be what the students wanted.” Students can enjoy events all week before heading out for spring break. The events build up until Thursday, which is the last day for the Spring into Spring week. Wilson said the goal of the event is to help students get prepared for a fun and safe spring break. Today, there will be spring break care package giveaways that are won by following social media clues. Tonight, there will be Nerf wars in the Rec Center Basketball Courts and a balloon man in the Mountainlair. Students can also grab free pepperoni rolls and drinks during the Nerf wars. Tomorrow, students can get free massages in the Health Sciences Center, pet puppies in the Mountainlair or get free cotton candy and popcorn in the Mountainlair. Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., MTV is holding auditions for its hit show “The Real World.” Thursday is the main event. The day will begin with St. Patrick’s breakfast in all dining halls and Hatfield’s. Until 2 p.m., there are free massages and an Irish Photo Booth in the Mountainlair. From 11:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m., students can pick up green Krispy Kreme Donuts from the Mountainlair, Health Sciences Building, Law and Engineering Science Building. At 3 p.m. there is a St. Patrick’s Day Costume Contest in the Mountainlair, which is followed by more Nerf wars in the Rec Center. The Mountaineer Midway Carnival begins at 4 p.m. with free food, music and many inflatables. “I think that the DJ will set the tone and then the inflatables and carnival will be the most favorite parts,” Wilson said. All on the Mountainlair Plaza, WELLWVU Umbrella will be sharing information on making smart decisions when it comes to alcohol. Students can grab free food consisting of hot dogs, chips, drinks and ice cream. DJ Owen will be playing the whole night. The Mountaineer Midway will feature an obstacle course, rock wall, Euro Bungee trampoline, bungee run, jousting, wrecking ball and double lane slide. Students can fly 35 feet in the air with the Euro Bungee trampoline or slide 30 feet down the double lane changer slides. The carnival itself will feature games such as beanbag toss, duck pond, over and under, ring toss and tic tac toe. After enjoying the Mountaineer Midway Carnival, students can head in for WVUp All Night. “We are hoping for a great crowd and great weather. If the weather would be bad, most events will move inside the Mountainlair and Rec Center,” Wilson said. For more information on “Spring into Spring” week, visit http://studentlife.wvu.edu/spring.

Tuesday March 15, 2016

This Oct. 24, 1968, file photo shows balloons going up in Madison Square Garden, in New York City, as a crowd gathers to hear third party candidate George C. Wallace. Wallace’s speech drew more than 15,000 spectators, among them an unknown number of demonstrators who heckled him while others were guarded by a huge show of police force outside the arena.

Disorder at Trump Rallies: As American as cherry pie? Even before the presidential candidate arrived at the rally, the arena seethed. Fistfights broke out as the national anthem played. Supporters tore up demonstrators’ signs, beat them with sticks, pummeled them with folding chairs. The year was 1968; the candidate was Alabama Gov. George Wallace. If you’re struggling with feelings of deja vu, you’re not alone. The recent dark turn of the 2016 presidential campaign - the ugly scuffles and confrontations at Donald Trump’s rallies - has brought back memories of the turmoil of the 1960s, and fueled fears that America is careering into a similarly angry and violent era. Will it happen? There’s no way of knowing. Some note this is a different time: When Wallace climbed the stage of Detroit’s Cobo arena, on Oct. 29, 1968, college campuses were exploding, American cities were in rubble, and Wallace’s incendiary words were just some

of many, many angry words of that era. As contentious as our times may seem, they’re not that bad - yet. But protesters, drawn by Trump’s positions against immigrants and Muslims, have been ejected from his rallies; one North Carolina man was charged with assault after he was caught on video hitting a man being led out by deputies at the event in Fayetteville. Trump says he does not encourage violence; the fault, he says, lies with the demonstrators. In fact, if you take the long view, what’s happening is not all that unusual. Politics and violence have been mated since the republic’s earliest days. It was black power activist H. Rap Brown - now serving a life sentence in the 2000 murder of a sheriff’s deputy - who said “violence is as American as cherry pie.” Other, more reputable observers agree. The colonies’ victory over the British, believes Glenn W. LaFantasie, professor of civil war history at West-

ern Kentucky University, taught Americans “that violence can be justified so long as it can be done for a good cause.” And in the decades that followed, they often used violence in support of - or opposition to - various causes: - When Irish and German Catholics arrived in the 1840s, the Know Nothing party arose to oppose them, rioting in Louisville (more than 20 killed, many more injured) and turning a series of elections in Baltimore into a series of bloodbaths. - In the run-up to the Civil War, Kansas had its own war between pro-slave and abolitionist forces. In that same year, 1856, abolitionist Sen. Charles Sumner gave a speech in which he demanded Kansas’ admission as a free state, and ridiculed Sen. Andrew Butler for his efforts against it; two days later, Butler’s cousin Rep. Preston Brooks accosted Sumner in the Senate chamber and nearly caned him to death. - For four days in July of

1863, in the midst of the Civil War, there was fighting in New York City - workingclass men, angry because the rich could buy their way out of fighting for the Union, rioted. They turned their wrath on their black neighbors, and thousands of them fled. There followed lynchings and other attacks on blacks and race riots in the North and South that left untold numbers of blacks dead. A series of anarchist bombings spread fear after World War I. Mobs preyed on purported communists - most prominently, at two concerts by singer Paul Robeson at Peekskill, N.Y., in 1949. “This is a dark streak that runs through American history,” said sociologist Todd Gitlin, who was president of the Students for a Democratic Society in 1963-64 and an organizer of the demonstration that brought thousands of protesters to Washington in 1965. By experience and by scholarship, he is an expert on that decade, and the

many ways in which violence became its hallmark, from the “police riot” that was the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago to the attacks on the Freedom Riders who bused to the South to fight for civil rights. “The mobs were there to fight against the invading Yankees, the legions of communism and John F. Kennedy; their way of life was at stake,” Gitlin said. Wallace gave voice to those same people. “When he’s on ‘Meet the Press,’ they can look to George and think, ‘That’s what I would say if I were up there,’” his wife, Lurleen, once said. Michael A. Cohen, author of the forthcoming book “American Maelstrom: The 1968 Election and the Politics of Division,” said that aside from Detroit - where the violence was so great that Wallace cut his speech short after a few moments - the candidate held similarly contentious rallies in Minneapolis, San Diego and elsewhere.

His speech at New York’s Madison Square Garden drew more than 15,000 spectators, among them an unknown number of demonstrators who heckled him while others were guarded by a huge show of police force outside the arena. Like Trump, Wallace was openly disdainful of his protesters. Cohen believes Wallace courted mayhem, thinking it helped his cause. He taunted hecklers from the stage: “After Nov. 5, you anarchists are through in this country. I can tell you that,” he said. And, regarding a long-haired heckler: “If he’ll go to the barbershop, I think they can cure him.” “There is menace in the blood shout of the crowds,” wrote the New Republic columnist Richard Strout, who covered the event. “You feel you have known this somewhere; never again will you read about Berlin in the ‘30s without remembering this wild confrontation here of two irrational forces.”

drugs

caregivers say there are not enough treatment facilities in the state to care for these babies or their addicted mothers. Cabell Huntington Hospital and Ruby Memorial Hospital together have less than 80 beds available in their neonatal intensive care units. The only alternative care center of its kind in West Virginia, Lily’s Place, can only shelter up to 15 drug-dependent infants at a time. “I think the facilities feel forced to send (these babies) home because there’s not enough room for all of them,” Edmunds said. The mission of Lily’s Place is to help addicted babies withdraw from the drugs in their system and to assist mothers recover from addictions as well. Lily’s Place would like to open a long-term female rehabilitation program allowing addicted mothers to begin the program while pregnant so they would be further along on the road to recovery when their babies are born. “A study done at Vanderbilt said 80 percent of kids who go into an environment with active drug users will be drug users themselves by middle school age,” Edmunds said. “We’ve got to get help for their families. Rehab is a wonderful thing, but there aren’t enough spaces.” June and Lonnie Atwell adopted Alex in May 2012 when he was 3 years old. June told a local TV station she just fell in love with the little boy.

overdoses per 100,000 people in the state. That rate has increased to about 34 drug overdoses per 100,000, according to a report from the Trust for America’s Health program. “The drug(s) most often abused in West Virginia are opioids such as heroin and OxyContin,” said Laura Lander, head social worker for the Behavioral Medicine department at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. But she has also seen babies with traces of cocaine, nicotine and caffeine in their systems. While babies diagnosed at birth with the syndrome can be treated successfully, many are then discharged into homes torn apart by drugs, where there is a high likelihood of neglect and abuse. “Ultimately, it puts the baby at risk of abuse and neglect,” said Rhonda Edmunds, a founder of Lily’s Place, an alternative center in Huntington specifically designed to treat infants born with the syndrome.

Assessing pilots’ mental health This month marks the one-year anniversary of the Germanwings plane crash that took the lives of all 150 passengers and crew members on board. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, who had suffered from depression for several years, locked the captain out of the cockpit on a routine flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf and set the plane on a collision course with the French Alps below. Investigators recently announced Lubitz was referred to a psychiatric clinic two weeks prior to the crash by a doctor but did not take himself off duty in order to follow the recommendation. The health professional who treated him was not allowed to advise higher-ups of Lubitz’s mental state and force him to take time off due to German confidentiality laws. At first, news coverage of the event only furthered the public’s negative opinion of mental illness. Men-

Pilots must be fully able to concentrate and focus while in the cockpit. tally ill people have been accused of being more prone to violent behaviors in the past, though these allegations have been proven false in a number of studies. Luckily, this new information has diverted attention away from mental illness itself and to the laws and practices surrounding what

doctors should or shouldn’t reveal to airport officials. Individuals suffering from depression pose absolutely no threat to society, but the disorder is known to impair judgment and alter a person’s perception of the world. Simply put, a depressed person should not be given total auton-

omy over the decision to continue working in a job where hundreds of lives depend upon qualities like quick thinking and judgment, which their disorder can dramatically affect. This should be especially true if the person is taking behavior- or mood-altering medication. Lubitz’s

remains tested positive for traces of the antidepressant citalopram (otherwise known as Celexa) and the sleeping aid zopiclone. At the very least, all airport personnel around the world should stay updated on what medications a pilot takes and create flight regulations surrounding taking

medications with unpredictable side effects. France’s Bureau of Investigation and Analyses has also shed light on another issue that may have led to Lubitz’s failure to take time off: Pilots are at risk of losing their jobs if they report having a mental illness. This takes away any incentive for pilots to take time off from their stressful line of work to seek treatment, which could lead to more fatal mistakes or decisions while flying. Current mental health professionals only break patient confidentiality if a patient is in immediate danger of hurting themselves or others. However, revising these laws to include taking greater precautions for those in professions where others’ lives depend on their mental salience could prevent tragedies like this from happening again. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

SeaWorld attempts to change reputation with proposal jenna gilbert columnist @j3nn_1f3r

After years of bad publicity, SeaWorld may finally make an important business change. Last November, SeaWorld announced it would end its theatrical shows with orcas at its San Diego location. By 2017, these shows will no longer function at all locations and will be replaced with an educational program about the captive orcas instead. However, SeaWorld executives continue to ignore the fact that these large marine mammals require much more room to swim than what can be provided in their current cement enclosures, and this won’t be remedied by simply ending shows. SeaWorld gained a negative public image shortly after the release of the 2013 documentary “Blackfish,” which focused on the mistreatment of orcas inside its San Diego location. It discussed how the mistreatment of Tilikum, a male orca, led to the death of two trainers. The film used interviews with former trainers and behind-the-scenes footage of the whales in the park with the trainers to illustrate the poor conditions the orcas lived in. Before SeaWorld, orcas already had a negative image due to their ruthless hunting behaviors, hence their nickname “killer whales.” Most of what people knew about the species

Tilikum, a male orca at the San Diego location of SeaWorld, is suspected to have killed two trainers due to his cramped living conditions. came from wildlife television specials, which are known to make wild animals appear much scarier than they truly are. SeaWorld brought these animals up close for humans for the first time to view and study while also providing entertainment to crowds. However, one would think that the people responsible for these animals would understand the tanks they are kept in are not nearly large enough to accommodate their size and should have realized the whales would eventually react to their cramped environment in a violent fashion. Orcas are large marine mammals. Males can reach

26 feet in length while females can reach 23 feet, and their weight can reach up to 12,000 pounds. However, the largest tank at the SeaWorld in San Diego is just 36 feet deep, 180 feet long and 90 feet wide. That size is clearly not large enough for a 26- foot whale, especially since they are used to swimming more than 100 miles in a day. They also favor colder climates, so the warm California weather is not nearly cool enough for their liking. The officials at SeaWorld claim that the information provided in “Blackfish” is false, but not providing proper living conditions for these animals is undeniable abuse.

The backlash against SeaWorld continues, even after the announcement of a $100 billion expansion of the orca pools. However, an animal of this size cannot possibly be given enough room to live in while in captivity. As such, I predict SeaWorld will continue to receive negative press and have a damaged reputation until the healthy whales are released back into the wild and there are no more orcas living in captivity. Several institutions and government officials are pushing for an end to keeping orcas in SeaWorld. The California Coastal Commission approved the pool expansion at the San Diego lo-

cation under one condition: SeaWorld has to make sure its whales don’t breed. The restriction was intended to not subject more of these animals to living out their lives in captivity. However, surprisingly enough, animal rights activists are against the legislation and claim all animals have the right to reproduce during their life. SeaWorld continues to push back on these policies, but if it truly wants to change the way its company is viewed, then it needs to remove the whales from its enclosures permanently. It claims to want to change to a more educational environment where onlookers can view the whales in

a more natural setting, but there is simply nothing natural about a whale living in a small cement enclosure. Orcas are entirely too large to be kept in “bathtubs” with several other whales. Simply put, orcas live longer in the wild, and there is nothing “wild” about SeaWorld’s environment. As much as I appreciate that SeaWorld is finally addressing the problem surrounding its whales after three years of criticism, it doesn’t change the fact that whales cannot possibly be given a better sanctuary to live in than the oceans in which they are born. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

More career paths should be represented in pop culture kody goff columnist @retrosyk

The crime scene investigation program at West Virginia University continues to grow exponentially. As more incoming students enter into this program to become crime scene investigators, it’s easy to see precisely what in pop culture may have influenced this career choice. “C.S.I.” is a popular longrunning television series that bore multiple successful spinoffs. The sheer saturation of these types of crime programs on television makes them a viable reason for the high number of people choosing this specific career path. While this may be good news for anyone working in the field, this phenomenon could cause students to disproportionately flock to professions portrayed well in the media. It’s obviously a good thing to have

fanpop.com

The television show ‘C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation’ may have influenced many to choose a career in law enforcement. more people in important fields such as C.S.I., but why have an oversaturation of police work on television when other fields could be represented just as well? Police work is undoubtedly dangerous in any context, and it’s that danger which makes these kinds of professions so popu-

lar on television. Television isn’t exactly known for its realism, but its influence is indisputable. However, it wouldn’t be difficult to also integrate lesser-known professions into primetime television. While the rise in C.S.I.s may be in part thanks to shows like “C.S.I.” and “N.C.I.S.,” where the char-

acters’ job is closely tied to the plot of each episode, it’s just as likely that an individual may want to become a chemistry teacher after watching “Breaking Bad.” After all, Walter White’s occupation as a teacher has minimal impact on his later criminal exploits within the show, but a fan with an interest

in chemistry may be subtly inclined to work toward a similar career. Giving characters more obscure jobs would not only give young people ideas about their future and widen the options for upcoming members of the workforce, but it would make television programs more interesting as well. Think about your favorite television characters and what they do for a living. How many are washed-up toymakers, jaded factory workers, incompetent fry cooks, bored paper-pushers, zany scientists or grizzled police officers? These tropes, along with many more, exist to tell bigger stories more easily, but they shouldn’t be followed to the letter. Most people give very little thought as to what their favorite characters do outside of the stories they star in, so presenting viewers with new and interesting careers wouldn’t be a risk in any sense of the word. In fact, one could argue it’s

better for business. It’s nearly impossible to tell what popular culture will latch onto next, but if there’s one thing to be learned from the success of offbeat movies and shows in the past few years, it’s that audiences want variety. Media representations of different cultures and ethnicities are generally well-received, so why not throw in a bigger variety of jobs and careers as well? Variety may be the spice of life, but it can season fiction just as well. We’ve seen plenty about C.S.I.s and office workers, so give this nation’s youth more portrayals of clinical laboratory scientists, census workers, farmers or even those who teach English as a foreign language. Hopefully with this kind of representation, these relatively unknown occupations will get some of the attention they deserve. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

‘Love’ is a win for romantic-comedy fans on Netflix by corey elliott A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

If you’re into romantic comedies, “Love” will probably settle your binge-watch craving. “Love” is brought to you by Judd Apatow, who wrote “40 Year Old Virgin,” “Pineapple Express,” “Knocked Up” and other movies, short films and television shows. Sitting at No. 1 on the power rankings of best TV shows that ended after one season is “Freaks and Geeks,” which Apatow wrote. Naturally, there are similarities between “Love” and the short-lived “Freaks and Geeks.” This Netflix Original Series was released on Feb. 19. All of season one’s 10 episodes were included in the release, which is good and bad- good because you don’t have to wait a week for each new episode but bad because of the pace at which most people watch readily available TV shows. It took me maybe three days to watch the entire season, no exaggeration. Another obvious pro to “Love” being on Netflix is the commercial-free aspect. Each episode is 40 minutes or fewer, making it a cakewalk to get through in a hurry. The show takes place in LA and stars Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust. Jacobs plays

mashable.com

Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust star in ‘Love’ on Netflix. New Jersey native Mickey Dobbs, a difficult, confused, outspoken, bad habit-ridden radio program manager. Rust plays Gus Cruikshank, a Midwest-born, nerdy, shy, overly-nice teacher for a TV show. Both are in their early 30s, which comes as a surprise because the two look

like they’re in their mid-20s. Shortly after Mickey and Gus break things off with their partners, they find each other in an unlikely scenario. One morning following a rough night for both, Gus offers to pay for Mickey’s hangover remedies and they embark on a

friendly adventure for the day. They form a friendship and neither are too sure what they want or expect from one another. Mickey finds herself liking Gus, yet finds him too nice and not edgy enough for her lifestyle. She even sets Gus up

with her Australian roommate which goes poorly but sparks Mickey and Gus’ relationship. After a few rocky dates and hangout sessions, Gus isn’t sure Mickey is right for him as her interests don’t particularly coincide with his. They both struggle find-

ing themselves throughout the first season. After a breakup between Gus and Mickey, season one’s finale brings them back together, a perfect segue into the second season. It’s a plot of two completely different people with completely different interests who somehow find chemistry. “Love” combines drama, comedy and romance for a show that relates real-life problems and experiences. Season one includes a guest appearance from the once more-relevant Andy Dick. Dick is known for his odd features and former MTV show titled, “The Assistant.” “Love” has the script of your typical romantic comedy movie, however it’s in the form of a show. I find it intriguing because it starts out with the ordinary theme of “nice guys finish last” before doing a complete 180. Arguably the worst part of binge watching Netflix shows is the dreaded wait for the next season. Usually, I’ll end up having to rewatch the show before season two because of the lengthy gap. There isn’t yet a premiere date for “Love’s” second season, but season two is currently filming and is expected in 2017. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Lab Theatre debuts ‘Venus in Fur,’ two-person play pushes boundaries by woody pond A&E writer @dailyathenauem

Theater has always been a platform for social reform and personal expression. Playwrights tell biographical stories and write about the social themes or injustices that either affect or influence their daily lives. But when does that expression become too much? In David Ives interesting 2010 Tony Award-winning play “Venus in Fur,” a playwright meets his match in a woman who has a lot to say about his play and about his ideas of society, theatre and people. WVU’s Lab Theatre is presenting this play, its third production of the semester, at the end of this week. “Venus in Fur” is a two-person play that takes place at the tail end of a casting call for an adaptation of the 1870 Austrian novel of the same name written by the main character, Thomas Novacheck. The play is presented in an audition format, in which the playwright and

the mysterious girl Vanda, who shows up as he is preparing to go home, read from the play and explore what it really means. The play within the play examines a violent, sexual relationship between a masochist and the beautiful woman from upstairs who treats him like her slave. The woman in the novel has the same name as the girl auditioning, which is the first layer of mystery surrounding Vanda, and her opinion on the character and the script itself differs greatly from Novacheck’s. She finds some of the dialogue to be very sexist, while Thomas argues that the play is about two people with burning passion for each other. “Venus in Fur” weaves in and out of an actor and a playwright talking about the play and actually reading scenes from it. They read more and more of the play, as it slowly becomes the primary way they communicate their ideas and how they define their relationship. The two actors who have collaborated

to create this piece did so without a fulltime director. First year MFA acting student Joe Gay and senior BFA acting student Ashley Koon play the two roles in Ives’s play, and their collaboration during the rehearsal process is what brought the play together. They broke down the text, asked each other questions and played with different interpretations of the scenes in order to bring together this play with all of the complicated layers that Ives wrote into his script. “We did a lot of table work, pulling the beats apart and naming them to figure out what they mean,” Gay said. “We spent a lot of time finding what’s real in what we are saying and where the lines are blurred, and where the characters in the book reflect what our characters are saying.” Theatre history professor Dr. Jay Malarcher advised the project along the way. He came to several rehearsals and helped give feedback and direction to the two performers as they went on their journey.

Malarcher really took to the text because of how much there was to be analyzed and how many layers could be found and explored. “Everything we went to the text for, answers it gave us. The deeper you dig, the more you find in a play like this it’s like Shakespeare,” Malarcher said. There are so many themes and ideas crammed into this script; it’s almost difficult to keep track of them all. Power, sex, S&M, gender bias and the current state of playwriting and the theatrical environment are all very prevalent from Thomas’ opening phone conversation to the final plot twist. “Venus in Fur” has a preview showing at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, and will officially debut Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Guests can also catch two Friday showings at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. in the Vivian Davis Michael Theatre. Admission is free but seating is limited. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Game Developers Conference to showcase VR Exploring the art of SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — With the release of a pair of high-definition headsets on the horizon, virtual reality will soon be, well, a reality for consumers curious about the immersive medium. Before the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive debut in a few weeks, VR is back in the spotlight at this week’s Game Developers Conference, the 30th annual gathering of the video game and now VR - industry that kicks off Monday at the Moscone Center. For the first time, GDC will play host to the Virtual Reality Developers Conference, a spin-off summit dedicated to VR creators learning more about their 360-degree craft. VRDC will feature talks with such titles as “Enabling Hands in VR” and “This is Your Brain on VR: A Look at The Psychology of Doing VR Right.” “It’s another example of how VR is legitimate now,” said Adam Orth, creator of “Adr1ft,” a first-person VR experience set to launch alongside the Rift that transports players inside a stranded astronaut’s space suit. Orth is among the VR creators influenced by traditional games, films and apps who will in attendance at VRDC, confronting issues facing the emerging medium. “It’s still so new, and there are still so many challenges to overcome,” said Orth. “For instance, if someone is doing something simple as using a shovel in VR, how would that look and feel? It wouldn’t look and feel like it does in a typical game. I’m looking forward to that, the challenge of creating

With virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift releasing soon, game developers are thinking about how to best utilize this revolutionary new hardware. normal things in abnormal scenarios.” Orth isn’t alone. A survey of last year’s GDC attendees found development of VR projects more than doubled, with 16 percent of attendees currently creating VR content - up from the 7 percent who said they were working on VR in last year’s poll. Regardless of the growing interest in VR, many in the gaming industry - and beyond - remain apprehensive, despite the fact those clunky, nausea-inducing VR headsets of the 1990s have morphed into the sleeker, lower-latency goggles of today. While 75 percent of developers surveyed believe VR and augmented reality is a sustainable business, 27 percent don’t see adoption of VR systems matching the current population of game consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

“It’s not like everyone is 100 percent on board,” said Simon Carless, executive vice president at UBM Tech Game Network, which organizes GDC and VRDC. “I think people are very interested and excited about it, but we’ve yet to see the mass adoption it will clearly need to take off.” The first consumer version of the Rift, available March 28, is being sold for $600. The Vive, which comes with a pair of sensors that detect motion in a room, will be released April 5 for $800. They both require high-end PCs in order to work. The steep price and computing requirements haven’t swayed early adopters away from VR. Oculus and HTC both said initial orders for the Rift and Vive systems sold out within minutes. A consumer edition of the lowerpowered Samsung Gear

VR, a mobile Oculus headset that works with Samsung smartphones, sold out when it was first released last year. Sony will be next to test the commercial viability of VR. The company is hosting an event Tuesday during GDC where it’s expected to announce the price and release date of PlayStation VR, a headset formerly known as Project Morpheus that works in tandem with the PlayStation 4 console, instead of a super-charged PC. “The commercial release of Oculus, Vive and PlayStation VR is really just the beginning, if this takes off,” said Carless. “It’s the kind of thing you have to try to be really excited about it. Most people haven’t had the opportunity to do that, even though we’ve been talking about VR for years now. It’s going to be a gradual process.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Here’s a question you’ve likely never asked yourself: Can covert surveillance be beautiful? But you might be asking it as you stroll through “Astro Noise,” journalist and filmmaker Laura Poitras’ exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art, in which images stemming from mass government surveillance are, in a number of cases, physically striking. Take, for example, the patterns of bright greens, blues and oranges adorning the wall as one enters the exhibit. Seen from afar, they appear to be colorful modern paintings one might see in any contemporary museum. But actually, Poitras is presenting data - hacked Israeli drone feeds from a listening base in Cyprus. The original images were contained in documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. “Definitely the piece is trying to work on multiple levels,” says Poitras, best known for “Citizenfour,” her Oscar-winning documentary about Snowden, and her news reports on the same subject, which won a Pulitzer Prize. “We found these fascinating colorful images that I was immediately compelled by. And they also have this fascinating story, so they work as news. We’re looking at intercepts from hacked Israeli drone feeds. But it’s not cynical. I like them as images, too.” Though Poitras is best known as a filmmaker and

journalist, she says her first solo museum show has given her a chance to explore the issues important to her in a medium even more suited to her way of thinking. “I felt almost MORE at home,” she said in a recent interview. “The creative process was really liberating. It’s more abstract, which is what I like. It opened up new possibilities, and liberated me from things I’m happy to be liberated from.” Though covert surveillance might not, at first glance, seem like a subject for exploration at an art museum, the Whitney’s director, Adam Weinberg, begs to differ. “Artists reflect their times, and we are living in very complicated times,” Weinberg says. “It would be very strange if people were only dealing with questions of beauty and emotion at a time when the world is in such a state.” For Weinberg, one of the most valuable aspects of the exhibit, which opened last month and runs through May 1, is that “it’s an experiential installation. It’s not just about information. One of the things that’s happened in this day and age is just the absolute avalanche of information, which we could never ever hope to sift through, and in most cases we can’t even understand half of. (But) we still have to make ethical and moral judgments about notions of surveillance and privacy, and this ... puts the viewer at the center of those questions.”

Issues, not apps, are the focus at South by Southwest entertainment expo AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Big-picture issues and futuristic ideas - rather than the usual hot app or startup launch - have taken the spotlight at this year’s South by Southwest Interactive tech jamboree. President Barack Obama’s opening keynote on Friday referenced the current fight between Apple and the FBI and set an issuedriven tone for the conference. And a daylong online harassment summit put the spotlight on the troubling topic of online harassment . Meanwhile, panels focused on futuristic ideas such as robots for the elderly and supersonic public transportation. So far, though, there’s no sign of breakout apps like Twitter in 2007 or Foursquare in 2009. (Or livestreaming app Meerkat last year, which was quickly eclipsed by Twitter’s Periscope.) “This year’s festival has been more about connectivity, immersive experiences and external, larger issues rather than past years, which were more about new launches,” said SXSW veteran Tom Edwards, chief digital officer for Dallas-based marketing firm Epsilon. More than 30,000 attendees

flooded the streets of downtown Austin over the weekend, soaking up live music and marketing stunts including a life-size Ferris wheel provided by the USA Network show “Mr. Robot.” Here’s a look at the buzziest trends so far at the festival’s techfocused conference, which runs through Tuesday. --BIG ISSUES It’s an election year, and hotly debated issues dominated discussions. Obama, the first U.S. president to headline a SXSW event, said he was strongly committed to encryption but said authorities must be able to access data held on electronic devices to fight crime and extremist violence. He didn’t specifically comment on the FBI’s case against Apple, however. A federal court has ordered Apple to help the FBI break into a phone used by one of the San Bernardino killers. Apple has appealed the ruling and says the government plan puts the privacy of all users at risk. Panels on online harassment discussed trolling and abuse in online comments and social media, mainly of women. One panel gave

statistics and examples of the harassment women of color and female journalists face to illustrate the scope of the problem on social media. Another panel, initially canceled due to threats of violence against panelists and the festival, discussed how game-related design, such as algorithms or pre-set filters, could be used to discourage harassment. Due to the previous threats, the daylong online harassment summit took place under tight security, but there were no disturbances. The festival had its own mini-discrimination controversy. Organizers apologized to a panelist after she tweeted that she was told she had to remove her headscarf for a festival ID badge. She was eventually allowed to take a photo with her headscarf - then received a badge with the right picture but the wrong name and affiliation, as her tweets documented and the festival confirmed. --FUTURISTIC IDEAS Rodney Brooks, creator of Roomba and CEO of Rethink Robots, argued that robots aren’t as dangerous as people think they are. At one point, he reached into his

pocket and pulled out a coin - then noted that no robot is currently capable of doing the same. Still, the robotics pioneer thinks robots will be essential for elder care, helping with daily tasks, acting as companions and driving people around. In similar respects such as manufacturing, he argued, robots won’t displace jobs, they’ll do the work no one wants to do. Dirk Ahlborn, CEO of Hyperloop, a company aiming to create a transportation system using capsules traveling through tubes at the speed of sound, took the stage to enthusiastic whoops from the crowd. He said the Hyperloop, which he claims will condense a five-hour trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco to 36 minutes for less than the cost of a plane ticket, is well on the way to becoming reality. While he acknowledged critics who say the project could cost $100 billion to build - far more than Hyperloop’s own estimates - he said his company is trying to disrupt the transportation industry. --TECH AND MUSIC As always, tech and music intermingled during the festival. When the indie-rock band Great Caesar

played at a popular local bar, it was no ordinary SXSW show. Its sponsor, Doppler, was testing ear buds designed to augment live music. Via an app, ear bud wearers could adjust the bass they could hear, for example, or create an echo effect. They could also choose pre-mixed filters that mimic the sound effects of different places, such as a small studio or Carnegie Hall. “I like having some kind of control over what I’m listening to,” said Marshall Heinz, a law student in Austin who tried out the device. “I make music, so to interact with people who are way better musicians than me is pretty cool.” --SONY’S ‘N’ CONCEPT Sony had one of the buzziest product demos of the festival, previewing a prototype device called the “N’’ concept neckband. It’s a speaker that rests on the neck, plays music, takes pictures and responds to voice commands such as queries about the weather. Response to the device, unveiled Saturday, has been enthusiastic, said research and development deputy president Jun Maruo, who said there’s no timeline for when Sony might release the neck band or what it might cost.

Former Yale captain says he’ll sue school over recent expulsion HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Former Yale basketball captain Jack Montague was expelled over a sexual assault allegation and plans to sue the school, his attorney said Monday. Attorney Max Stern issued a statement saying Montague had a relationship with the woman. He said the dispute is about the last of four sexual encounters, occurring in October 2014. The lawyer said the woman claims she didn’t consent to the sex but Montague said she did and also asserts she later came back to his room to spend the night. Stern said a Title IX official filed a complaint on the woman’s behalf on Nov. 18, a university panel ruled against him and the provost upheld that ruling. Montague was expelled on Feb. 10. Stern said Montague participated in the hearing process. Stern called the decision “arbitrary and excessive by any rational measure” and believes Montague was made a “whipping boy” following a report on sexual assault by the Association of American Universities. That report detailed a survey of Yale students and estimated 25.2 percent of undergraduates had experienced at least one incident that “does not meet Yale’s standard for consent” and 18.1 percent had experienced an

incident that involved “force or incapacitation.” “Yale has been oblivious to the catastrophic and irreparable damage resulting from these allegations and determinations,” Stern said. “The expulsion not only deprives Jack of the degree which he was only three months short of earning, but has simultaneously destroyed both his educational and basketball careers.” Yale declined to comment on Montague’s case, but said its process for investigation allegations of sexual assault is thorough and fair. In 2012, Yale settled resolved a federal complaint over its responses to sexual assaults on campus and set up a system to better handle complaints. That system, in which complaints are resolved by a university committee, includes strict confidentiality requirements. Expulsion at Yale requires a threshold of “preponderance of the evidence” for establishing wrongdoing, lower than any criminal case. “Only about one out of 10 cases ends in expulsion, and the decision to expel a student is made only after the most careful consideration, based on the facts and, when appropriate, disciplinary history,” the school said. Police and the local prosecutor say no criminal allegation has been filed and

Montague was named captain and played through Feb. 6 despite the allegations against him, averaging 9.7 points per game. The school said it would not remove an athlete from a team based solely on allegations, “unless a student were placed on an emergency suspension and separated from the school.” The team went 7-1 in his absence, finishing the year

22-6 and winning the Ivy League championship with a 13-1 league record. They will play Baylor on Thursday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the school’s first appearance in the event since 1962. The team apologized for wearing warm-up T-shirts during a nationally televised Feb. 26 game against Harvard that featured Montague’s number, nickname and the word “Yale” spelled backward. “Jack’s one of our teammates, our brothers,” for-

ward Justin Sears said Sunday. “We’re a team still, no matter what.” Despite uncertainty and lack of details at the time, some groups on campus condemned the basketball team for wearing the T-shirts, putting up posters that accused the team of supporting a rapist. They also used the incident to speak out on wider issues of sexual assault at Yale. Last week, the group Unite Against Sexual Assault Yale invited people to write their feelings in chalk on

tiles in front of Sterling Memorial Library. Hundreds did, with messages such as, “The only team I’m cheering for are survivors @ Yale - dismantle men’s athletic privilege.” Organizer Helen Price said the event was not meant to condemn the basketball team or Montague. “We aimed to give people an outlet for the frustration and anger they have felt at Yale’s sexual climate for a long time, the basketball incident was really just a catalyst,” she said.

WVU will have to fight it out in deep East Region West Virginia finished second in one of the deepest conferences in recent memory and managed to seize its highest NCAA seed in six years. That was the easy part. The real work begins on Friday when the Mountaineers will have descend into a loaded East Region in order to achieve the ultimate goal they set at the beginning of the season: Winning West Virginia’s first-ever national championship. There’s no easy game in this region, including West Virginia’s first round matchup against Stephen F. Austin, a team that can consider itself a mini version of the Mountaineers. Employing a press of their own, the Lumberjacks are the only team in college basketball that forces more turnovers than West Virginia does. They’ve gone 53-1 in Southland Conference play over the last three years, guided by an opponent WVU head coach Bob Huggins knows well: Longtime friend and former assistant Brad Underwood. “I’ve known Brad for a long, long time,” Huggins said. “I have great respect for him and his ability to coach basketball. They’re a good basketball team. They don’t beat themselves.” West Virginia is heavily favored, as they should be, but Stephen F. Austin is far from an easy out. Then the Mountaineers would have to face an old Big East rival, Notre Dame, a team that carved out an 11-7 record in the always-strong ACC. Lightning-quick point guard Demetrius Jackson is one of the best players WVU will face all season, and star big man Zach Auguste may be one of the only centers in the country who can match up physically with West Virginia’s Devin Williams–he averaged a double-double this season, leading the ACC in rebounding. Alternatively, the Mountaineers could take a shot at revenge at former coach John Beilein and Michigan, in what would be the second matchup between West Virginia and Beilein since he left in 2007. There’s also the attraction of a possible Backyard Brawl Sweet 16 matchup with Pitt, but WVU is more likely to face two-seed Xavier or a Wisconsin team revitalized by new head coach Greg Gard. One of the best teams in a rebuilt Big East Conference, Xavier hung around the top 10 for almost the entire season, ultimately finishing 14-4 in conference play behind star guard Trevon Bluiett. Major threats also lurk on the other side of the East bracket. One-seed North Carolina boasts senior stars Brice Johnson and Marcus Paige and is considered a major national title contender. Then there’s fourseed Kentucky, which looks completely different than the team that destroyed WVU by 39 in last year’s Sweet 16 but is still highly dangerous behind star guards Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray. All these teams are strong, but they all also have one thing in common: None of them have ever faced Press Virginia. West Virginia’s dogged defense and will to win has made it one of the East’s biggest contenders as well, and there’s no one in the region they can’t beat. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

BACK TO THE DANCE

The WVU women’s basketball team celebrates after a win over Oklahoma in February.

After one-year layoff, No. 23 WVU back in NCAA Tournament BY ALEC GEARTY SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

After missing the NCAA tournament last season, the West Virginia University women’s basketball team waited on Selection Monday to see what team will be on the Mountaineers’ radar next. The Mountaineers earned the sixth seed, and they will face the Princeton Tigers at noon Friday in Columbus, Ohio. “I think it says a lot about these young ladies,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “We have 11 new players, eight of them freshmen. To get a sixseed in the NCAA Tournament, they did a great job this year. I am very proud

of them.” Princeton, who received the 11th seed, finished second in the Ivy League with an overall record of 23-5 and 12-2 in conference play. Both teams are a part of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota region led by No. 1 South Carolina. It marks the sixth time Princeton has made the tournament in program history, fourth under head coach Courtney Banghart. Since being named head coach, Banghart took the team from 7-23 to 26-3 in a matter of two seasons, placing first in the Ivy League five times. Even with the success and long history of the Tigers, WVU has never faced Princeton, which explains how Carey started his press

conference on Selection Monday. “Before you start, I know nothing about Princeton,” Carey said. While WVU hasn’t faced Princeton, the Mountaineers are familiar with the Ivy League style and aren’t overlooking the Tigers. “Everybody in the NCAA Tournament is a really good team,” said WVU senior Arielle Roberson. “Especially [Princeton], being very fundamental it’s going to be key for us to buy in on defense and get stops.” The trip to Columbus will be Roberson’s second appearance in the tournament; she last made it in 2012-13 as a member of the Colorado Buffaloes. Now, using her last year of eligibility, she will get one more

run. “Not everybody gets to be in the NCAA Tournament, but being with this group of girls really made my time fly by,” Roberson said. “It’s been really great.” After making it to the WNIT championship game last season, senior star Bria Holmes is happy to be back in the NCAA Tournament, and she believes the Mountaineers deserve to be where they are. “It’s a great feeling, making the tournament this year,” said Bria Holmes. “We came a long way, I just want to keep pushing.” If WVU were to advance to the second round, the Mountaineers would have a chance to play the Ohio State Buckeyes in their city.

“I’ve seen Ohio State play a couple of times and they are very, very good. I’m surprised they aren’t a higher seed,” Carey said. “They have one of the best guards in the country, so we’ll have our hands full.” While Carey acknowledged the threat of Ohio State, he also reiterated the team has to worry about Princeton first. Holmes put the team’s meeting on Friday into perspective in the best way possible, realizing for some of the Mountaineers, it is their last chance. “Nobody wants to go out with a loss. It’s all or nothing,” Holmes said. “It’s my last one, so I’ve got to give it my all.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

WVU receivers coach Lonnie Galloway leaves for Louisville BY DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

The West Virginia University football team’s coaching staff had a bombshell dropped on it late on the first day of spring practice, as news broke that wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway is leaving West Virginia to be cooffensive coordinator in Louisville. A six-year veteran of the West Virginia staff, Galloway recruited and coached several major Mountaineer stars at wide receiver, including Kevin White, Mario Alford, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey. Galloway leaves behind a young, talented wide receiver unit that looks poised to take the next step, but which will now need to find a new position coach as spring practice gets underway. Galloway reportedly received a multi-year contract extension and a raise from West Virginia less than a month ago. However, that didn’t stop Galloway from joining Bobby Petrino’s staff at Louisville, where he will work alongside line coach Chris Klenakis to direct the Cardinals’ offense. After a playing career as a quarterback for Western Carolina and in the Arena Football League, Galloway started his coaching career in 1996, assisting at Elon, East Carolina and Appalachian State before joining Bill Stewart’s staff as wide receivers coach in 2008. Galloway left for Wake Forest after Stewart’s firing in 2011 but returned to West Virginia in 2013.

Baseball

WVU carries weekend momentum against struggling Radford By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

Redshirt freshman Jimmy Galusky did what he’s done all season, and that’s just what the Mountaineers needed heading into Tuesday’s affair against Radford. Galusky’s walk-off single in the 12th inning capped off a doubleheader, leading to a series victory over Old Dominion to improve to 9-4. That was exactly what the Mountaineers longed for, still reeling from an extra inning defeat earlier in the day. “That right there today shows the character of your team,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “You lose a heartbreaker in the first game in extra innings. We beat a really good team two out of three on our home field. I hate that the fans missed this game because this was a pretty entertaining game to watch.” They took two of three from an Old Dominion team that entered the series at 102. The resiliency and depth paid off once again, overcoming a 4-3 deficit and finding a way to send it into extra innings for the second time of the day. Now it’s onto Radford, which is 2-14 and has lost five straight. No. 2 Vander-

bilt and Kent State completed sweeps during that span, outscoring Radford 46-13 with a pair of shutouts. Tyler Swarmer likely takes the mound for Radford against WVU’s Campbell, who’s 0-1 with a 4.63 ERA after recording his first loss in a 13-4 loss to Vanderbilt last Tuesday. Campbell has a 4.15 ERA in 4.1 innings pitched, allowing two earned runs during his first start against UNLV earlier this year. Opponents have outscored Radford 114-46 this season, holding it to a .202 average. Second baseman Danny Hyrbek is the only hitter who’s surpassed .265, leading the team with a .345 batting average and 19 hits. Zach York leads the way with five RBIs and three doubles, but inconsistency at the plate has led to a .200 batting average, marking the fifth highest average for Radford. Six Mountaineers have exceeded the .300 spot through the first 13 games, including a trio of freshmen. Left fielder Kyle Gray is hitting .364 with a triple in 10 starts, tagging alongside right fielder Darius Hill’s .333 average and team-high totals in RBIs (10) and triples (2). Galusky’s walk-off showcased another big-time play from the redshirt fresh-

Kyle Davis swings during Friday’s win over Old Dominion. man, leading to an offensive group that continually claws its way back into games. All-American Kyle Davis has three home runs and nine RBI’s alongside a .321 average, tallying the Big 12’s third-highest long ball total thus far. KC Huth also has nine RBIs and four extrabase hits, helping an offense that holds the conference’s second-highest batting aver-

age behind No. 8 TCU (.299). An experienced bullpen adds to WVU’s advantage this afternoon, providing quality depth that showed during Saturday’s doubleheader. Jeff Hardy’s 3.2 innings of relief for BJ Myers helped the Mountaineers comeback after trailing 4-3, striking out six Radford hitters to cap the series. Conner Dotson also re-

lieved an ailing Chad Donato in the series opening 4-3 victory over Old Dominion, not allowing a baserunner in 1.2 innings. Brandon Boone’s 4.1 shutout innings kept WVU alive during game two before falling 5-4 in 10 innings. “I think that’s going to play dividends in the end. It’s really going to show when we get late into the

tournaments and wherever this season takes us,” Davis said. “Being in these types of games, knowing how to fight and knowing that we always have a chance to win and just keeping that resiliency is going to be huge once we come to those great teams that take us deep into the game.” cgjackson@mail.wvu.edu

Tennis

Shaker’s consistency helps Mountaineers succeed on and off court By Neel Madhavan Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

In a season marked by inconsistency, the one thing that the West Virginia University women’s tennis team has been able to hang its hat on is the continued success of Habiba Shaker. The sophomore from Egypt has played her way to a 10-1 singles record so far this spring, including going 10-0 at the No. 2 singles position. She has also teamed up with senior Hailey Barrett for an 8-3 record at the

No. 1 doubles position. “We put in a lot of work during the preseason with working on our weaknesses, and most importantly, our fitness and conditioning on the court. I think that really helped me,” Shaker said. As a freshman, Shaker showed flashes of what was to come from her during her career as a WVU tennis player. In her freshman season, Shaker compiled a 24-10 overall record during the 2015 season. “I wasn’t here last season to see her play, but

from what I have gathered from working with her, it’s been mostly a lot of mental toughness improvement, understanding where she needs to improve in that department and helping her along the way,” said WVU assistant coach Emily Harman. “A lot of this is between the ears, and you have to focus as much energy there as we do on the physical side on the court. So she’s been very committed and very dedicated, and I’ve been very proud of her in terms of making those changes.”

Despite Shaker’s success, the Mountaineers haven’t yet been able to make their mark in the Big 12 Conference, finishing last season with an 0-9 mark in league play. But this season, even with just a 6-5 record in nonconference play, there’s a lot to be optimistic about for the future with this young team. “I feel that we worked hard throughout the nonconference matches, and we should keep that focus going into the Big 12,” Shaker said. “We have to give it our best and leave it

all on the court. I believe in my teammates, and I know we’ll do better this year.” In addition to her success on the court, Shaker has excelled in the classroom as well. The sport psychology student has been named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll, the WVU Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll, qualifying for the WVU Dean’s List for the Fall 2015 semester. “It’s been a delight to work with her on the court and see the improvements and see, match to match,

how she’s improved,” Harman said. “I wouldn’t say her tennis has been as good as I’ve seen her play but that’s the cool part. She’s still been winning matches even though she hasn’t always played as well as she’s capable of playing.” Shaker and the rest of the Mountaineers return to the court this weekend for the toughest test they have faced this season, as they start Big 12 Conference play at No. 13 Oklahoma State. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
