WVU appreciates grad students by rachel mcbride staff writer @Rachelgmb

West Virginia University’s Office of Graduate Education & Life is taking this week to give back to graduate students. The Office hosted an evening with Genevieve Bell, an anthropologist and ethnographic researcher, for the kick-off of the annual Graduate Student Appreciation Week with a special campus presentation in the Mountainlair ballrooms.

In Bell’s lecture, “Context is Everything: The Degrees of Your Degree,” she shared her life experiences and education, as well as giving advice on how to follow one’s passion through graduate school, with the attendees. Bell said she originally came from a broken home in a poor Australian neighborhood, but she forced herself to become known on the global scale despite her and her family’s emotional and monetary struggles. “You have to pick some-

thing to work on that drives you,” Bell said. “Pick something that will help envision the better world you see possible.” Bell is an Intel Fellow and vice president of the Corporate Strategy Office at Intel Corporation. She leads a team of social scientists, interaction designers, human factors engineers and computer scientists focused on studying people’s needs and desires to help shape new Intel products and technologies. An accomplished an-

thropologist and researcher, Bell joined Intel in 1998. She has received a number of patents for consumer electronics innovations, with additional patents in the user experience space pending, and she is the author of numerous journal papers and articles. She was named an Intel Fellow in 2008. In addition to her position at Intel, Bell is a highly regarded industry expert and frequent commentator on the intersection of culture and technology. She has been featured

in publications such as Wired, Forbes, The Atlantic, Fast Company, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times. She is also a sought-after public speaker and panelist at technology conferences worldwide for the insights she has gained from extensive international field work and research. “My job is to think about how you can build technology into a world that already exists,” Bell said. “Most of my time is spent with people and thinking about the future, the many

possible futures.” Bell’s industry recognition includes being listed among the “100 Most Creative People in Business” by Fast Company in 2010, induction in the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame in 2012 and being honored as the 2013 Woman of Vision for Leadership by the Anita Borg Institute.

Conscious College Road Tour promotes Award-winning author Tim Wise discusses racism, white privilege in America today campus sustainability

WORDS OF WISDOM

by amy pratt

staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University was Monday evening’s stop for the Conscious College Road Tour, an initiative to increase sustainability on college campuses. The Conscious College Road Tour is part of Turning Green, a student-powered, non-profit organization aiming to engage youths in sustainability. It was started in 2005 by Judi Shils and her daughter. It contains four main parts: Project Green, a 30day challenge to engage students in conscientious living, internships, Conscious Kitchen—a program to improve the quality and health of food in schools— and the Conscious College Road Tour. Turning Green brought information to students about sustainable living at the Mountainlair Monday morning. Then, students met in the evening for a town hall-style meeting to discuss what they could do to begin making the University more sustainable. “It gives our students a chance to see how they can incorporate sustainable living into their daily lives, so they can become aware and make more conscious decisions about the products they consume, how they see sustainability on campus,” said Traci Knabenshue, WVU director of sustainability. “A lot of students I find are very into sustainability, but it’s sometimes just a lack of awareness.” Shils asked students to consider what they would like to change from “conventional to conscious” on campus. The resulting discussion produced three goals for WVU sustainability at the town meeting. The first is to eliminate Styrofoam and other plastic foam products use on campus. Styrofoam has many adverse health effects and is not a safe container for food, Shils said. The second goal is to create a campus community garden at WVU, which could improve the quality of food available to students. “Freshman year (students) are required to have a meal plan, so we don’t think twice about what we’re eating and they’re providing for us. It wasn’t until I left the dorms I realized eating there was not a good option. And you start to think, why wouldn’t we have a better option?” said Haily Flowers, a junior landscape architecture

Tim Wise gives a public lecture titled “A Powerful Inside-out Look at Race and Racism in America” on Monday evening.

by james pleasant correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Award-winning author, speaker and activist Tim Wise visited West Virginia University yesterday to speak to students and faculty about racism in America and the concept of white privilege. The lecture, hosted by the WVU Center of Black Culture & Research and the WVU Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, was part of the Critical Conversations lecture series. Wise introduced the importance of understanding history and its relation to the present in a racial context. “If you want to sum up the history of America in one sentence when it comes to race and class it would be this: The history of the United States is the history of rich white men telling working class white people their enemies are brown and black,” Wise said. Wise said white Americans have the privilege of forgetting about the history of racism in America—or only temporarily visit it in classes—while institutional racism still remains a reality in the everyday lives of people of color. He also pointed out the irony of skeptics who expect people of color to let go of the history of slavery, Jim Crow and institutional racism, but remain fixated on the United States politically regressing back to a time where these same injustices were practiced and accepted. “I just ask for humility

and a willingness to understand the experiences of others people who may have encountered things you have not,” said Krystal D. Frazier, an assistant professor of history and the coordinator of Africana studies at WVU. “(People who deny the existence of white privilege) should really learn their history and think about how the United States was founded. It’s impossible to disconnect the history of white privilege from the history of the nation.” Wise stressed that history repeats itself, and much of the discrimination and injustice is still experienced by people of color today. He mentions how issues such as police brutality, hate crimes and voting rights still exist, and disproportionately affect poor blacks. “Sometimes respect for authority isn’t legitimate, and when authority is illegitimate it deserves to be disrespected,” Wise said. “That’s what every social justice movement in every country has said.” During the lecture, Wise also criticized the white, upper-class elite for spreading misinformation to the white working-class, convincing them people of color are the source of their problems. “An awful lot of people don’t want to understand the past, or don’t want to talk about the past and its relationship to the present,” Wise said. Wise has written seven books about race relations including “Affirmative Action: Racial Preference in Black and White”, “Rac-

Judge denies millions in restitution in ex-coal CEO case CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP)—Convicted former energy company CEO Don Blankenship won’t have to pay a coal producer $28 million in restitution related to a mine explosion in 2010 that killed 29 men, a federal judge ruled Monday. In her order, Judge Irene Berger said Blankenship doesn’t have to pay the money to Alpha Natural Resources, which bought Massey in 2011 after the explosion. The Bristol, Virginia-based coal company filed for bankruptcy in August. The ruling was a win for

Blankenship, helping him avoid a substantial blow to a personal fortune that he refused to disclose to prosecutors. “We are pleased by the ruling. It is obviously correct,” said William Taylor, Blankenship’s lead defense attorney. “It is hard to see how Alpha could acquire Massey at a discounted price knowing of its problems and claim to be a victim in this case.” Blankenship was convicted on Dec. 3 of a misdemeanor conspiracy to willfully violate mine safety standards at Upper Big Branch Mine in south-

ern West Virginia. He faces a maximum of one year in prison and a $250,000 fine. He was acquitted of felonies that could have stretched his sentence to 30 years. Blankenship will be sentenced Wednesday. According to Berger’s order, Alpha paid $13.5 million to cooperate with the investigation into the explosion at Upper Big Branch. The company incurred $10 million in mine safety violation penalties at the mine and spent $4.3 million to represent seven former Massey officers and employees who participated

With this event kicking off the Graduate Student Appreciation Week, many students in attendance expressed their excitement to go on to graduate school or to complete their already in-progress graduate degree. Jinling Zhou, a physics graduate student said the

graduate student body is a breed unlike any other, and she thinks it’s important for WVU to continue to show appreciation for its graduate students. “The graduate student body is a really hard working student body,” Zhou said. “It takes a lot of persistence and devotion to continue on; (graduate students) should feel very proud of

ourselves.” Future graduate events for graduation student appreciation week include a t-shirt giveaway, free professional head-shots and a 3-Minute Thesis competition. Events will take place from April 4-8. For more information on upcoming events, visit: http://graduate.wvu.edu/news-events.

They also talked about the importance of choosing the stairs over the elevator. “The energy changes reap tremendous benefits for the schools,” Shils said.

Students also discussed ways to inform incoming freshmen about sustainability to help them create good habits early in college. Mary Murdock, a junior forest research management student from the office of sustainability, was pleased with the goals created by the discussion.

“I think our three main topics, food sustainability on campus, eliminating Styrofoam and improving energy in our buildings were really productive, and I think there’s a lot of good ideas that can actually be translated to the real world,” Murdock said.

Princeton to keep Wilson’s name despite his racist views

Princeton University students walk through an exhibit titled, “In the Nation’s Service? Woodrow Wilson Revisited,” Sunday, April 3, 2016, at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in Princeton, N.J.. As Princeton University officials weigh whether to remove alumnus and former President Woodrow Wilson’s name from its public policy school, the college is launching an exhibit meant to more fully air his legacy. The Nobel Peace Prize winner heralded as a progressive hero has also faced criticism as a racist who encouraged segregation in his administration. (AP Photo/Mel Evans) PRINCETON, N.J. (AP)— Woodrow Wilson’s name will remain on Princeton University’s public policy school, despite calls to remove it because the former U.S. president was a segregationist, the Ivy League university announced Monday. Princeton was challenged to take a deeper look into Wilson’s life in the fall, when a group of students raised questions about his racist views. The Black Justice League held a 32-hour sit-in inside Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber’s office, demanding Wilson’s name be removed from programs and buildings, including the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs, and for other changes to make the university more diverse and inclusive. Eisgruber said the process helped him learn more about one of Princeton’s most celebrated alumni and presidents. “The students should recognize they have really changed the way people will talk about and remember Wilson,” said Eisgruber, a 1983 Princeton alumnus. “All the people whom we honor in history are going to be people with flaws and deficiencies. If we made that argument for not honoring people, we would honor nobody. The right attitude is to honor people, but be honest about their failings.” University leaders concluded that Wilson’s accomplishments merited commemoration, so long as his faults also are candidly recognized. Princeton also pledged to adopt other changes, including establishing a pipeline program to encourage more minority students to pursue doctoral degrees and diversifying campus symbols and art. Wilson was president of Princeton from 1902 to 1910, and the country’s 28th president from 1913 until 1921. The Democrat is credited with creating the Federal Reserve system, led the U.S. into World War I and tried to preserve a lasting peace afterward. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919 for being the architect of the League of Nations. But he also supported segregation - including in the federal government rolling back progress for the emerging black middle class in the nation’s capital at the turn of the 20th century. As president of Princeton, he also prevented the enrollment of black students. The debate over Wilson’s name was part of a wave of racially motivated activism on college campuses across the country this school year that began with protests at the University of Missouri. There, black students - including members of the school’s football team - successfully protested for the ouster of Missouri’s president. In recent months, col-

lege leaders have moved to change mascots, building names, mottos and other symbols some have deemed offensive or outdated. At Princeton, a 10-member committee looked at Wilson’s legacy and the state of race relations on campus. It gathered input from Wilson scholars and more than 600 submissions from alumni, faculty and the public. In the end, the committee concluded Wilson’s accomplishments were among “the reason’s Wilson’s name was associated with the school and the college,” but added that some of his views “clearly contradict with the values we hold today.” Using his name “implies no endorsement of views and actions that conflict with the values and aspirations of our times,” the committee report read. “We have said that in this report, and the university must say it in the settings that bear his name.” Eisgruber, the university’s president, said Princeton has an obligation to highlight not only Wilson’s “towering achievements,” but also his “severe deficiencies.” “We have to be cognizant about the kinds of harms people even of great achievement caused,” Eisgruber said. “Princeton was an exclusive place for a very long time. We need to be honest about those exclusions ... and make sure we create symbols on campus that make people feel that this is a place they can call home.” Eric Yellin, a University of Richmond history professor who submitted a letter to the committee mentioning Wilson’s racist policies as U.S. president, told The Associated Press that the debate about Wilson has sparked deeper questions. “It’s really important not to take Wilson’s racism and put it in the category of ‘everybody was a racist,’” Yellin said. “Not everybody was president, or as articulate about why segregation was important. Not everybody had the same number of opportunities to change the world.” The board of trustees’ decision came on the same day that the school opened an interactive exhibit putting Wilson in context for his era while emphasizing that he was a man apart from it - for better and worse. “In the Nation’s Service? Wilson Revisited” will run through Oct. 28. His faults are laid bare from the beginning of the exhibit. One panel quotes him: “Segregation is not a humiliation but a benefit, and ought to be so regarded by you gentlemen.” Daniel Linke, archivist at the Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library at Princeton and curator of the exhibit, said: “What we were trying to do here is take the line that separates ‘Wilson good’ and ‘Wilson bad’ and expand it.”

CORRECTION The article “SGA Judicial Board hearing set for Tuesday” in the April 4, 2016 edition of The Daily Athenaeum did not clarify that former student body president, Chris Nyden’s, consideration of impeachment was not pursued in 2015 as per an agreement by the 2014-15 student Board of Governors.

Honoring U.S. pilots posthumously It’s no surprise advocacy for gender equality in recent years has come to the attention of United States lawmakers. However, in the military, gender equality is a much different challenge to face. Women hold positions in 95 percent of all military, but certain positions in different branches still either bar them from entry or have rigorous training requirements few women can pass. For example, the Marine Corps infantry training saw all its female trainees drop out within the first few days of training, and all 19 women who enrolled in Army Ranger training school failed before graduation. However, this is not to say women have not played an important role throughout the military history of the U.S. Nurses in the Civil War risked their lives to treat the wounded and were susceptible to catching the diseases of their patients, such as typhoid fever. Women in

Women were not permitted to be in combat during WWII, but served by transporting planes across the country. World War I served in several non-combatant roles in the military and rationed food and supplies for soldiers. However, World War II led to women assuming

more traditionally maledominated roles. Women Airforce Service Pilots were not in combat roles but were tasked with relieving male pilots of transporting aircraft across the U.S. so

the men could go on active duty overseas. In just two years, 1,074 WASPs delivered more than 12,000 aircraft to different posts across the country. Though the women

were not involved in any fighting, their service significantly aided the war effort and helped combat the shortage of male pilots. However, Congress disbanded the group and denied the women veteran benefits shortly before the war ended—an act many claim was rooted in sexism and adherence to traditional gender roles. Efforts have since been made to honor the WASPs and allow the surviving former pilots the chance to be buried at Arlington Cemetery, but former Army Secretary John McHugh declared they were ineligible for benefits last year, claiming they don’t fit the standards necessary for burial there. However, the WASPs risked their lives like every other current serviceman and -woman in the line of duty. Thirty-eight women died during their two years of service, and the women should be honored for their helpful contribution to the war effort.

Without their service, a shortage of pilots in active duty may have seriously crippled the U.S. Air Force. They should also be included in Arlington Cemetery for setting the precedent for active female involvement in the U.S. military. Female military positions in later wars of the 20th century involved more menial tasks like typography and handling finances, but since 2013, women have been allowed to serve directly in combat and aid their country in the most direct way possible. WASP contr ibution should be regarded as the same as every other service members’. Perhaps the only reason it wasn’t at the time was due to traditional beliefs about women’s roles and capabilities. A lot has changed since the 1940s, and American military honors should reflect social change just like every other aspect of society. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

Clickbait lies to users about content, should be avoided kody goff columnist @retrosyk

We’ve all fallen victim to it before: While scrolling through Facebook or Twitter, we see a link with an extremely interesting title that promises some bizarre tip doctors don’t want us to know or the reveal of some incredibly juicy information. We click, exiting out of a slew of obnoxious advertising pop-ups in the process, but are ultimately left disappointed at the lack of evocative content the title promised. Some recent Buzzfeed articles that illustrate this discrepancy between title and content include “19 Problems That Are Way Too Real If You’re Obsessed With Makeup,” “This Chainsaw-Wielding Drone Obliterates Snowmen” and even “Are These People Laughing At Salad or Something Else?” However, Buzzfeed is just one of many online publications that use borderline manipulative language to catch user’s clicks and earn themselves money by providing useless content. These kinds of websites have earned a fittingly pejorative, catch-all nickname: Clickbait. Publishers and journalists have always worked hard to get their material read. Headlines that attempt to pique a potential reader’s interest are nothing new, but newer clickbait tactics are a far different breed. It’s commonplace to see headlines of online articles with facts either completely left out or twisted so they

Clickbait tries to entice Internet users with misleading titles. only vaguely resemble the truth of the matter. Legitimate news sources, such as CNN, The New York Times or even Fox News, typically have much more thorough, transparent headlines. It’s obvious these clickbait websites only want their advertisements to be seen and not their content. An article with a clickbait title is usually just a few measly paragraphs long, with the “big, hidden surprise” alluded at in the article’s title tucked away somewhere inside. However, the “shocking news” the title promises is usually either completely under-

whelming or even absent. Even though clickbait is shifty and unscrupulous, it should just keep doing what it’s doing. Sites like Buzzfeed, which many criticize for its lack of meaningful content, may have published their revenue-grabbing headlines with impunity just a few years ago, but as they continue to oversell their own stories, they alienate larger amounts of people and only dig themselves into a deeper hole. Speaking personally, I’ve already seen a decrease in circulation of links from sites like io9

and Gawker on my Facebook wall, and the reason is becoming increasingly obvious: Internet users are growing savvy to clickbait, so much so that there have even been entire websites dedicated to mocking them. With a name like “ClickHole,” one wouldn’t expect this website to be very serious. However, more often than not, the folks who also write “The Onion” hit the nail on the head. The fact that some of Buzzfeed’s and ClickHole’s titles are nearly indistinguishable adds to the hilarity, sometimes with the former’s be-

ing the more ridiculous of the two. For example, compare “7 Things We Learned About the Crazy Assassin Economy in John Wick” with “The All-Time Best College Fight Songs.” Which of these sounds like a real headline, and which sounds like they were just trying to get someone to click through their page? If you haven’t guessed it by now, the one about “Crazy Assassin Economy” is a real Buzzfeed article. The worst, most attention-deficit aspects of the Internet are easily exploited by clickbait web-

sites. These websites are the digital equivalent of tabloids and should be treated as such. If a friend shares a clickbait link on their page, do yourself a favor and Google whatever important story they’ve shared. There’s no doubting the fact that another site has the same information laid out in a more straightfor ward, better written manner. Stop adding to clickbait sites’ revenue by reading and sharing, and most importantly, think before you click. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Queen B releases A cappella group coming to CAC clothing line by Rachel Claypool A&E Correspondant @dailyathenaeum

All-male a cappella group Straight No Chaser is taking the stage in the Creative Arts Center tomorrow. Straight No Chaser originally formed as a college singing group at Indiana University in 1996. It chose members carefully to craft an allmale a cappella group with a repertoire of contemporary music. When the founding members began graduating from IU, they chose new members to establish the group on campus and continue the legacy of Straight No Chaser. Now the group has a record deal with Atlantic Records and tours around the country, singing at all kinds of venues. Kristie

Beyonce hopes her clothing line will inspire women.

by Corey Elliott A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

On April 14, Beyonce’s clothing line will be released in four stores in North America. Ivy Park merchandise will be available both online and in stores at Topshop, Nordstrom, Zalando and Hudson’s Bay. The brand name Ivy Park is inspired by her daughter’s first name and a park Beyonce frequented as a kid. She explains in a twominute commercial how vital the park has been to her throughout her life, as well as its importance to this day. “Before I hit the stage, I go back to that park,” Beyonce said in an Ivy Park spring-summer advertisement. “When it was time for me to give birth, I went back to that park. The park became a state of mind. The park became my strength. The park is what made me who I am.” Ivy Park’s spring and summer collection includes a wide range of apparel, shoes and accessories. There are sporty outfits you could wear to the gym, items for professional events and contemporary, leisure looks, too. From the extensive shoe selection being offered to basic headbands, there is rumored to be more than 200 different articles of clothing to choose from. It’s a known fact that Beyonce is adored by the public so whatever it is she decides to market will likely find its way off the shelves. Another favorable aspect about Ivy Park is the prices. They aren’t as low as Forever 21 or H&M, but one must consider the quality and name behind the

Stewart-Gale, marketing and advertising manager for WVU Arts and Entertainment, said that Straight No Chaser is a highly requested act for WVU’s Creative Arts Center and that tomorrow’s show is sold out. The show is part of Straight No Chaser’s ongoing The New Old Fashioned tour, named for its newest album. According to the group’s Twitter, its shows in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Frederick, Maryland have also sold out. Straight No Chaser includes 10 men, all of whom were part of the IU group at some point before joining the professional squad. For a while, both the professional and the collegiate group bore the same name. With the professional group’s success, the campus group renamed itself Another Round. In 2008, Straight No Chaser signed with Atlantic Records and released Holiday Spirits, a Christmas album. The album saw success, as Holiday Spirits was No. 4 on Billboard’s Top Holid a y

Albums chart, according to Straight No Chaser’s website. Sticking with the Christmas theme, the group released another Christmas album in 2009 called Christmas Cheers. It also released a short EP entitled Six Pack (EP). The group dropped its first non-Christmas album in 2010. What a Twist debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 after its release, the highest ever for Straight No Chaser. The group’s newest release, The New Old Fashioned, dropped in Oct. 2015. It features a cappella covers of many popular songs, including “Shut Up and Dance,” “Happy” and “Can’t Feel My Face.” Straight No Chaser is one of many acts performing in the Creative Arts Center for the University Arts Series, a series for nationally-touring professionals. It brings in all genres of performers, artists and acts to perform in the Creative Arts Center. Other acts that have performed for the series this year include

Cirque Dream Holidaze, Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker and Mountain Stage with Larry Groce. The University Arts Series productions are Boradwayquality, and some acts even use sets and costumes from Broadway performances. Straight No Chaser performs at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Creative Arts Center. Check out Straight No Chaser at its website http:// www.sncmusic.com/, or on Twitter, https://twitter.com/ SNCmusic. The show is sold out, but if tickets become available, they can be purchased at the box office in the Mountainlair or in the Creative Arts Center, both of which are open from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Students get a discount. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘Chelsea Does’ a little bit of everything

Comedian Chelsea Handler investigates issues in her new Netflix show.

by Ally Litten A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Willing, witty and white are three words that describe Chelsea Handler perfectly. Known for her late night show, “Chelsea Lately,” and No. 1 New York Times Best Selling books, Handler’s controversial sense of humor has been criticized in the media the entire length of her 15year career.

However, 2016 turned over a new leaf for Handler: She became an investigative journalist with a wicked sense of humor. Partnering with Netflix, Handler traveled the country filming a documentary series titled “Chelsea Does.” The series consists of four episodes. In each hour-long segment, Handler investigates social phenomenons. The first season, which dropped Jan. 22, explores

marriage, technology, racism and drugs. Almost instantly, it became one of the trending series on Netflix. Similar to her show and stand-up routines, Handler pulls from her own life. In every episode, Handler hosts a dinner party with a different group of friends to gain their perspective on the subject at hand. Surprisingly, Handler researched each subject well. Drawing from many different organizations and individuals, she took the time to fully research the different approaches and perspectives relating to the specific topic. “Chelsea Does Silicon Valley” and “Chelsea Does Drugs” are probably the lightest episodes. In “Chelsea Does Marriage,” Handler interviews everyone from her father to an entire kindergarten class to the owners of Ashley Madison. Oh, and she fits in multiple blind dates and officiates a wedding. Any perspective on marriage you could ever think of, Handler already thought it, taped it and made a joke out of it. In “Chelsea Does Drugs,” Handler takes the expression “hands on” literally. Featuring people such as her personal psychiatrist, Willie Nelson and Khloe Kardashian, this episode was funny and informative for the most part. Not many people would do drugs openly on camera, but Handler is always willing and down for an interesting time. Not only does Handler retreat into the desert to experience Ayahuasca,

but she also takes Ambien, gets wasted and shows viewers what drugs are all about. It may not be orthodox, but the viewers get to experience what these things are really like. The touchiest episode was “Chelsea Does Racism.” As someone who has made many racially-controversial jokes, Handler focused on the issues at hand. During the filming of this episode, an unarmed AfricanAmerican, Walter Scott, was shot and killed by police and a white supremacist killed nine African-Americans in a Charleston church. Although it was a heavy topic, Handler continued the documentary, shining light on the racial tension in the United States. With heartbreaking interviews and the pure reality of certain aspects of American culture, the episode speaks for itself. As always, Handler kept things unfiltered. For someone who has made a career out of poking fun and pushing the line, Handler is incredibly open-minded. She has no problem expressing her views yet she still gives other people’s opinion the respect it deserves. With humor, Handler researched these controversial subjects and turned it into a respectable documentary series. If you are looking for a documentary made by a sarcastic and sometimes naked and/ or intoxicated host, “Chelsea Does” is available only on Netflix. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Augusten Burroughs searches for love in new memoir ‘Lust and Wonder’ “Lust and Wonder” (St. Martin’s Press), by Augusten Burroughs If you’ve read author Augusten Burroughs’ other cynically funny memoirs, you might be surprised by the outcome of his latest book, “Lust & Wonder.” Although he’s still brutally honest about his dysfunctional, damaged past, this group of stories has an ending you’re more likely to find in a rom-com movie. Burrough’s trademark sarcasm and neurosis elicit giggles from the first page. He’s a walking contradiction: self-deprecating yet condescending, at once vapid and smart, judgmental and forgiving. His complexity and acceptance of his own flaws endear him to readers.

But this book is not just a gathering of clever observations, it’s also ultimately a story about finding love, right under your nose. The book’s structure is a bit confusing. It’s not a collection of essays, and there are no chapters to break up the narrative. It’s a memoir that starts with his bingedrinking days in the 1990s and eventually skips ahead to his most recent relationships. It’s not difficult to follow, but sometimes leaves the reader wondering where it’s going. Burroughs describes familiar situations in striking detail, making the mundane funny. Describing a man too eager to date him, he says, “He was the dish of wrapped peppermints next to the cash reg-

ister that I didn’t want because they were free.” Although he’s a gifted storyteller, there’s an inescapable darkness to Burroughs’ prose. His depiction of depression and anxiety is achingly real, particularly the sense of dread and paralyzing lethargy that sometimes keep him isolated at home. In the recklessness and loneliness of his 20s, he drank night after night until passing out in his shoebox Manhattan apartment. He remembers obsessively watching QVC, buying things he didn’t need and finding kinship with the overnight hosts and callers. In Burroughs’ previous books, he’s written about how his difficult childhood led to years of strug-

gle with addiction. In this memoir, his evolution from drunk, disillusioned advertising copywriter to sober published author is inspired not by Alcoholics Anonymous or therapy, but by his own creative energy and commitment to writing. One day, the urge to drink waned and the need to write prevailed. A week later, he produced a draft of his first novel - a spoof of QVC - and realized he hadn’t wanted a drink in several days. New purpose emerged. “The things that happened while I sat in the bluish glow of my computer screen made me feel something harsh and addictive: alive.” It’s a fascinating lesson in resilience and how the creative process can nour-

ish your soul. Burroughs’ windy path to a healthy relationship is filled with pitfalls. He often questions happiness and wonders if this is all there is. He describes the anguish of becoming complacent in a relationship that works on a convenience level but not an emotional one. Guilt and the pervasive feeling that he doesn’t deserve love kept him from breaking the toxic bond he had with his boyfriend, Dennis. He doesn’t sugarcoat his mistakes and shows surprisingly little remorse when the relationship finally ends. While the reader sees a spark between the author and his future boyfriend from the beginning, Burroughs was much slower

to catch up to his true feelings. When he finally realizes he’s in love with someone close to him and has been for years - you want to give him a standing ovation. He manages to make what could have been a corny, cliche moment sweet and satisfying. Burroughs makes it clear that sobriety isn’t easy and even finding the right person to love doesn’t cure all ills. Seeing him grow and gain the courage to make better choices is a moving experience. For much of his life, he felt numb - either from self-medicating or stifling his feelings. Perhaps “Lust & Wonder” is how Burroughs translates what it feels like to access both his heart and mind at last.

Huge Rolling Stones exhibition delights die-hard fans LONDON (AP) ‑ It’s only rock ‘n’ roll - but it isn’t, is it? The music business is about commerce as well as entertainment, and the Rolling Stones are one of its biggest multinational firms. There’s plenty of both art and business in “Exhibitionism,” a vast exhibition that covers 20,000 square feet (1,850 square

meters) of London’s Saatchi Gallery with five decades of Stones history. The more than 500 artifacts, borrowed from the band’s archive and private collectors, include musical instruments, lyrics, sketches, film clips, outfits, posters, album artwork and stage designs. There is even a fake donkey. From entertaining to excess, the Stones

rarely do things on a small scale. “In the end, we had over 25,000 things to choose from,” said Australian rock promoter Tony Cochrane, the show’s executive producer. “I knew the Rolling Stones had a warehouse where they had kept a lot of their personal artifacts, memorabilia, famous instruments and the like,”

he said Monday, a day before the show’s public opening. “But no one could have known how enriched the collection was.” The result is a treasure trove for fans, who can ogle everything from a marabou-feather cape Mick Jagger wore to sing “Sympathy for the Devil” to a Maton guitar owned by Keith Richards whose

neck fell off during the recording of “Gimme Shelter” (the song ends with a barely audible clunk). Even casual fans will likely be impressed by the exhibition’s attention to detail. It opens with a life-size recreation of an apartment the band members shared in 196263 in Chelsea, a then-raffish, now-affluent London neighborhood. “It was a hovel,” Richards says on a recording, and the recreation captures the peeling wallpaper, mold-stained walls and unmade beds, the dirty dishes, empty beer bottles, broken eggshells and overflowing ashtrays. It even smells. E x h i b i t i o n c u ra t o r Ileen Gallagher said the band members were “pretty astonished” by the result. “Although Mick said it wasn’t quite that messy.’” Another room features a recreated recording studio, based on Olympic Studios in London, where visitors can watch footage of the band at work and listen to recordings of the Stones and their collaborators talking about the creative process. The e x h i b i t i o n ’s strength is the space it gives to the band’s creative partners, from backing vocalists and session players to the artists and designers who helped forge the Stones’ brand image and iconography. A whole room is devoted to John Pasche’s lips-and-tongue Stones logo, inspired by a picture Jagger had seen of the Hindu goddess Kali. Another features the band’s huge-scale set designs, and a third showcases album-cover imagery by artists including 1960s photographer David Bailey and Andy Warhol, who designed the infamous zipper cover for “Sticky Fingers.” “They’ve always managed to work with artists that have cultural significance,” said Gallagher. “That’s very important - and it’s very astute of

them.” And, of course, there is fashion. The Stones quickly left behind the matching checked jackets of the early 1960s to forge their own style, and the exhibition shows off many of Jagger’s more outrageous fashion statements, including the white dress he wore at the band’s 1969 Hyde Park concert and a pair of glittery 1970s jumpsuits. Gallagher said the goal was to tell the Stones story “in a way that really brings in the cultural, artistic, historical influences of the band.” After their dose of culture, most visitors will leave through the gift shop, a reminder that this exhibition is a savvy commercial enterprise. Fans can buy everything from coffee mug for 10 pounds ($14) to a Stones-branded table football game for 4,750 pounds ($6,800). There is even a tie-in with upmarket pottery firm Wedgwood, offering delicate tea cups and saucers carrying the exhibition’s less-than-delicate logo: the Stones lips emblazoned across on a bikini-wearing crotch. A sign notes : “Over 250 years of history make Wedgwood a truly iconic English brand.” Much like the Stones themselves. “Exhibitionism” runs to Sept. 4, with an international tour planned to follow the London run.

Battle returns to the Met Opera NEW YORK (AP) ‑ Kathleen Battle is returning to the Metropolitan Opera, 22 years after the company fired her and publicly accused her of “unprofessional actions.” Battle, who will be 68 in August, is scheduled to sing a recital on Nov. 13 titled, “Underground Railroad-A Spiritual Journey,” the company said Monday. The soprano will be accompanied by pianist Joel Martin and by a choir under the direction of James Davis Jr., director of music ministries and fine arts at New York’s Abyssinian Baptist Church. Battle made her Met debut in 1977 and was a favorite of music director James Levine. She walked off the stage during rehearsals in 1993 after battling with conductor Christian Thielemann over tempo and canceled five scheduled performances as Sophie in Richard Strauss’ “Der Rosenkavalier.” Joseph Volpe, then the Met’s general manager, publicly announced in February 1994 that the company had terminated her contract for Donizetti’s “La Fille du Regiment (The Daughter of the Regiment),” saying her actions “were profoundly detrimental to the artistic collaboration among all the cast members.”

“I don’t believe there’s any ill will towards her at all, but I wasn’t here 20 years ago,” Peter Gelb, who took over from Volpe in 2006, said in a telephone interview. “I think everyone at the Met likes to hear great artists.” Gelb said he spoke with Battle about 10 years ago and was unsuccessful in an attempt to have her return to the Met for a revival of Mozart’s “Die Zauberfloete (The Magic Flute).” He said they started discussing the spiritual concert several years ago, and Battle tested her voice on the Met stage in December. Tim Fox, Battle’s agent, didn’t respond to an email seeking comment. In the past, she has deflected questions about her Met departure. “Spirituals have the power to uplift and to heal, and we certainly need that in today’s world,” Battle said in a statement released by the Met. “This is a program which brings together my musical background and my cultural heritage, in the acoustical splendor of the Met.” Battle has sung 224 performances of 14 roles with the Met, last appearing with the company in 1993. During a November 1985 performance of Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)” at the Met, she was said to

Also during the 1993-94 season, reports said workers at the San Francisco Opera had T-shirts created that read: “I Survived the Battle.” The Met has had famous feuds in the past. Soprano Maria Callas was fired by

general manager Rudolf Bing in 1956 after she tried to back out of two performances of Verdi’s “La Traviata,” then returned in 1965 for two performances of Puccini’s “Tosca.” Volpe didn’t want to get into a rehash of the past. “I’m happy that’s she still able to sing,” he said, “and I wish her the best.”

MGM bets on live events with T-Mobile Arena LAS VEGAS (AP) ‑ The latest multi-million dollar development on the Las Vegas Strip features a leafy outdoor pedestrian area, 20,000 seat arena and small theater. It’s a move to double-down on events and live entertainment that marks yet another significant pivot away from gambling in Sin City. This week, MGM Resorts International begins unveiling its $575 million entertainment district on the southern end of Las Vegas Boulevard. The 22-acre area is nestled between the company’s New YorkNew York and Monte Carlo hotel-casinos. The Park outdoor pedestrian area with eateries, water feature, 40-foot “Bliss Dance” sculpture and spread of tree-shaded seating and open space will officially welcome visitors Monday. The T-Mobile

Arena, debuting Wednesday with a concert by the hometown band Killers and Mr. Las Vegas Wayne Newton, has lined up a series of high-profile music and sports events on its calendar and hopes it can also be the home of a professional hockey team should the National Hockey League approve expansion. A 5,300seat theater designed for headliners to play in residence at the Monte Carlo is scheduled to open by the end of the year. Combined, the venues represent a bid by the Strip’s largest casino operator to directly compete with chief rival Caesars Entertainment Corporation and grab a larger share of the entertainment dollar. MGM hasn’t been shy about acknowledging the Monte Carlo theater as its entry into the residency-headliner model of live shows

that Caesars has made a signature offering - The Colosseum at Caesars Palace hosts top artists like Celine Dion and Mariah Carey and the Axis theater at Planet Hollywood has been successful with Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez. Jim Murren, MGM’s chairman and CEO, said the company considered downsizing and reshaping its Mandalay Bay Events Center to attract that level of headliners, but the 12,000seat venue lacked the right acoustics. “We admire very much what the Colosseum has brought to the market,” Murren said. “This was an area we were not leading edge on. It wasn’t something MGM anticipated as quickly as Caesars did ... we have a definite entertainment gap in our venue inventory. That really has caused us a lot of frustration.”

Jason Gastwirth, Caesars’ senior vice president of marketing and entertainment, praised MGM’s development as a gain for Las Vegas tourism. He said the Park is a nod to Caesars’ outdoor Linq Promenade built around the giant Ferris wheel, High Roller, and that the Monte Carlo will only help grow the thriving residency business model. With the Colosseum fully booked this year, he said he’s not concerned about fighting MGM for talent because Caesars has a strong strategy for developing a home for top artists. Both companies have strong ties with entertainment giant AEG, which is MGM’s partner in the T-Mobile arena and also operates Caesars’ Colosseum theater. “It’s not a coincidence that these artists have flourished with us in these theaters,” Gastwirth said.

Watchdog group criticizes ratings, overhaul needed LOS ANGELES (AP) ‑ The TV content ratings system consistently fails to protect children from adult fare and must be overhauled, a watchdog group said Monday. A Parents Television Council study released Monday faulted the 20-year-old system over how shows are rated, who rates them and an alleged lack of transparency. Young viewers routinely are exposed to graphic violence, explicit sex, profanity and other adult content in shows that are labeled as suitable for children, said Tim Winter, the group’s president. That’s because of inherent flaws in the ratings sys-

tem, he said, including the oversight board’s structure and the fact networks rate their own programs. The 24-member TV Parental Guidelines Monitoring Board is made up largely of representatives from the broadcast networks and cable channels whose programs are subject to the ratings. “No other oversight board is comprised of executives of the very industry it’s supposed to watchdog,” Winter said. That leaves parents without reliable information to make choices and corporate advertisers supporting shows that may appear more family friendly than they are, he

said. The board did not immediately respond to phone and email requests for comment. The Federal Communications Commission, which in 1996 authorized the ratings system and monitoring board, declined comment. “We don’t anticipate an eager response from the industry,” Winter said. “We are gearing up for some public outreach to the FCC and Capitol Hill (lawmakers) if there is no immediate” move toward change. The new study focused on broadcast networks but the system’s flaws extend to cable TV, which uses the same ratings, he said.

Increasing consumer use of online viewing services such as Netflix and Hulu makes a universal and trustworthy system crucial, the report said. The ratings system was adopted in conjunction with the so-called V-chip, required in all TV sets built since 2000 and which allows parents to block programming they deem objectionable by rating. The outcome is a lack of broadcast shows rated TV-MA, for mature audiences, which major corporate sponsors would tend to shun, Winter said. Instead, shows labeled TV-PG (with material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children) and TV-14 (material possibly unsuitable for children under 14) have multiplied, the study found. But those TV-PG and TV-14 shows do not live up to their billing, including bloody scenes of violence, sex and other questionable content, Winter said. He cited “The Real O’Neals,” a new ABC family comedy, for an episode that used a string of profanities but which was labeled PG. ABC declined comment. The study found that programs labeled TV-G and appropriate for all viewers have essentially been eliminated from prime-time TV, graphic content is increasing in amount and intensity and yet all broadcast TV content is rated as suitable for a 14-year-old. Winter said the council is calling for a system that is accurate, consistent, transparent and accountable to the public. “Right, now, it is none of those four things,” he said.

Interview Preparation You did all of the right things: earned good grades, developed solid leadership skills, and attended career fairs. You have built a strong resume that showcases your skills and experiences to potential employers. But you never knew how quickly a submitted application or conversation at a career fair could turn into an actual interview! Even if you have less than a day to prepare, you can go into the interview confident and present your best, professional self with a little interview preparation. Research the Company Online Do some web research about the company. Look for recent newsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;such as a press release or an interview with the CEOâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about their products and services, as well as information about the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission, values and workplace culture. This will give you something to talk about in addition to the job description and can show you are truly interested in the job opportunity with the company. This is also an opportunity to double-check the location of the interview if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Find the office address on their webpage and look up directions beforehand. Dress to Impress You need to look as polished and professional as possible. What you wear will strongly impact peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; impression of you. Be sure that you have a good understanding of the company values and workplace culture before deciding what to wear to an interview. Your business professional look should be conservative, but still show some of your own personality. A well-pressed suit and dress shoes will let your potential employer know you are serious about the job. More information about appropriate interview attire can be found on our website at http://careerservices.wvu.edu/students/dress-to-impress. Brainstorm Interview Answers

Instead of using well-worn phrases, use concrete examples that highlight your qualifications and experience. For example, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say you are â&#x20AC;&#x153;flexibleâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;tell the interviewer about a change in your job (or schoolwork demands) and what you did to deal with the change. To prepare these types of responses, take time before the interview to brainstorm examples of your accomplishments. Think about times youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really felt proud of an achievement at work or school. These stories demonstrate all those hard-to-measure qualities like problem solving, flexibility, teamwork and leadership. Wake Up Early and Ready Lay out your interview outfit the night before, and get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest. Plan to leave early for the interview. This will help you get a non-stressful start on the day of the interview. The last thing you want is to waste all of your interview preparation by arriving flustered and late because you overslept and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a parking space. Practice Your Interview Skills To make sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared, request a mock interview with a career counselor at careerservices@mail.wvu.edu or 304-293-2221.

Iverson, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal and Yao lead group into Basketball Hall of Fame HOUSTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Despite being elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame on Monday, Allen Iverson knows he still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to shake his infamous rant about practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the Hall of Fame and I can go outside today and go to a restaurant or whatever and somebody will say to me: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Practice? We talking about practice,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh, adding that even his children mock him for the 2002 news conference in which he repeated the phrase about 20 times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, I am a Hall of Famer and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all you can think about - me saying practice.â&#x20AC;? Along with Iverson, Shaquille Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal, Yao Ming, Sheryl Swoopes, Tom Izzo and Jerry Reinsdorf were elected to the Hall of Fame on Monday. Posthumous honorees this year include 27-year NBA referee Darell Garretson; John McLendon, the first African-American coach in a professional league; Cumberland Posey, who also is in the Baseball Hall of Fame; and Zelmo Beaty, who led Prairie View to an NAIA title in 1962. The selections were announced in Houston in advance of Monday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NCAA Tournament championship game between North Carolina and Villanova. Iverson, selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the first overall pick in the 1996 NBA draft, was named rookie of the year and went on to become an 11-time

All-Star. John Thompson, his coach at Georgetown, was there to celebrate the latest honor with his former player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the fact of knowing him as a person and knowing the challenges heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to overcome,â&#x20AC;? Thompson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allen is legitimate. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of impersonators of what he is. But he is a kid who came from basically nothing and had to be thrust into a whole different way of life and been successful as he has been in his profession.â&#x20AC;? Iverson was asked to reminisce on the impressive dunking he did in his career despite being only 6-feet tall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touch the backboard now,â&#x20AC;? the 40-year-old lamented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lying. Like I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even touch the backboard. It is over.â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal, the top overall pick in the 1992 draft by the Orlando Magic, was the NBA MVP in 2000, a threetime NBA Finals MVP and 15-time All-Star. When he was introduced Monday at the media event, the jokester scolded the announcer for not mentioning his work in the 1996 movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kazaam,â&#x20AC;? in which he played a genie. The man who has a plethora of nicknames was asked if he hopes to get a new one when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inducted into the hall in September. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, just Hall of Famer,â&#x20AC;? he said. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal had a simple

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I was gunning for everybody. I was gunning for all the superstars, I was gunning for all the big guys, because I wanted their spot and that was my motivation.â&#x20AC;?

Yao, the top overall pick in 2002 by the Houston Rockets, was an eight-time All-Star. He did not attend the event because he was in Shanghai. Swoopes helped Texas Tech to a national title, won four WNBA titles with the Houston Comets, was a three-time WNBA MVP and won three Olympic gold medals. She grew up in the small West Texas town of Brownfield and hopes that her election can be an inspira-

Izzo, Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s State coach, won a national title

in 2000 and has taken the Spartans to the Final Four seven times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the biggest thrill of my life,â&#x20AC;? Izzo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I needed a lot of other guys to help me get here.â&#x20AC;? Reinsdorf has been the owner of the Chicago Bulls and White Sox for more than two decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An award like this has to be the most important accomplishment you can have,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact is Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here because of what a lot of other people did.â&#x20AC;?

CASHING IN

David Statman SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

New CBs coach Adams could revamp his unit With starters Terrell Chestnut and Daryl Worley both gone, the West Virginia defense faced a tall task in totally rebuilding its cornerback unit — and it got a little bit tougher when cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell left for Virginia Tech. But new cornerbacks coach Blue Adams is bringing a new energy to his first spring practice with West Virginia, and his NFL pedigree as both a player and coach could help him achieve his goal of properly developing the talents at his disposal. “It was an opportunity to coach and develop young men,” Adams said. “That’s what I love to do, that’s my calling. I love to develop young men both on and off the grass, and any time I have that opportunity, I’m all for it.” West Virginia’s cornerbacks return only two players with games under their belt as Mountaineers: Seniors Nana Kyeremeh and Rasul Douglas, who are listed as the starters in West Virginia’s first spring depth chart. They’re joined by senior Miami transfer Antonio Crawford, a talented veteran who nevertheless has still never stepped onto the field in blue and gold. To keep his players motivated and to prepare them for what’s to come, Adams has been handson, encouraging his players to embrace the pain that comes with proper preparation. “Today we talked about living in a black hole,” Adams said. “A lot of times with young guys, they’ll have success, and sometimes when they have success, they’ll get away from fundamentals. That’s why I told them to live in that black hole, it’s miserable. Get comfortable living in that misery and the dark, so when game time comes everyone wants to know, ‘Who is that guy that’s shining?’” Under Adams’ tutelage, his cornerbacks could very well be a surprising source of light for a WVU defense replacing starters across the board. According to Douglas, Adams has placed a greater emphasis on playing physical up on the line and pressing more, fitting in the all-around aggression of Tony Gibson’s 3-3-5 defense. Allowing his cornerbacks to be more aggressive will be the move that unlocks the potential of his new unit. It’ll certainly get the best out of Douglas, who could be one of West Virginia’s biggest breakout stars— at 6-foot-2, 208 pounds, the former junior college All-American is built to give his opponents hell at the line of scrimmage. And while he spent last season down on the depth chart, Douglas got some crucial experience during the Big 12 schedule. Injuries to their secondary forced the Mountaineers to toss Douglas straight into the fire against the likes of Corey Coleman and Josh Doctson midway through the season, and while he unsurprisingly struggled, he’ll have undoubtedly learned from the experience. A lot of pieces still need to fall into place for WVU’s corners to live up to last season’s billing, but with Adams in charge and Douglas leading the way, it might have a shot in 2016. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

Wendell Smallwood extends his arm, looks for running room during November’s victory over Texas.

Smallwood, former WVU stars earn Pro Day recognition By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

Coming off a candid junior season as the Big 12 rushing champion, early Draft enrollee Wendell Smallwood was one of the many Mountaineers to make a name for himself at Monday’s Pro Day. Smallwood improved his 40-yard dash time from the NFL Combine, clocking in at 4.40 seconds, the fastest time of any participant at Caperton Indoor Practice Facility. “I’m definitely satisfied,” Smallwood said. “I think I did a good job today. I came out, did what I was supposed to do and impressed the scouts.” Scouts told Smallwood that running the 40-yard dash again was unnecessary after posting 4.47 seconds at the Combine in Indianapolis. But he powered through and decided there was more to prove, apart from the many overall improvements he made on Monday afternoon.

He followed up with 18 reps on the bench press, four more than he previously totaled. Although he recorded a lesser time in the three-cone drill, his stock is likely to increase heading into the NFL Draft. CBS Sports currently tabs Smallwood as a sixth-round selection, rated as the 18th running back in the 2016 class. That could all change, especially with the work put forth during the offseason. “They’ve just been telling me that I look like a natural receiver,” Smallwood said. “I moved good on my cuts — that was the biggest thing they wanted to see. I caught the ball well, and I improved on my 40. They didn’t even believe I should run it again after the Combine, but I told them I’d run and they said I did a much better job.” Visits with NFL organizations are lined up this week according to Smallwood, who chose not to list any of the teams he’s planning to meet with. Posting 1,519 rushing yards has upped his value. “I’ve got a couple of

flights going to visit a couple places,” Smallwood said. “No workouts, just going to visit. They want me to get around their town, see the facilities and stuff like that.” Fellow early Draft enrollee, cornerback Daryl Worley, also impressed scouts during his time on the field. The former All-Big 12 First Team honoree ran a 4.58 second 40-yard dash, a vast improvement from his first run of the day and a 4.64 second showing at the Combine. Worley tallied a teamhigh six interceptions this past season, including 49 tackles and two forced fumbles before being ineligible for the Cactus Bowl. His efforts at the collegiate level haven’t gone unnoticed, and scouts left impressed with his Pro Day performance. A visit with the Philadelphia Eagles is also scheduled for Worley next week, first reported by Rivals’ Greg Madia. “Most of the teams, we just watch film,” Worley said. “They see me work out

here and they want to make sure nothing is a flaw, not that I’m just having a special day. They just want to see me fluidly as I do on the tape. They all told me I had a phenomenal day. I’m happy with that, and I can’t complain at all.” KJ Dillon also earned himself a meeting with the Baltimore Ravens according to Matt Welch of DK Pittsburgh Sports. Although he didn’t participate in six of the nine drills, his previous outings rocketed up his potential NFL Draft selection. NFL Network’s Mike Mayock rates him as one of the top five safeties in this year’s class, tagging alongside fellow Mountaineer teammate Karl Joseph. He’s still slated as a fifth round projection by CBS Sports, but that could change over the next three weeks. Dillon raised some eyebrows with a 7.26 second showing in the three-cone drill, the third fastest time of any defender on the day. Despite not participating in the 40-yard dash, he still notched a time of 4.53 sec-

onds at the Combine. Linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski only performed in position drills Monday, but his 4.22 second 20-yard shuttle time was the fifth fastest among the position during the Combine. “I’ve seen about all my times from the Combine, and I just wanted to go out there and just do position drills to kind of reassure what I did at the Combine,” Kwiatkoski said. “Just wanted to show some flexibility and move.” Kwiatkoski earned a Big 12 First Team selection on this year’s Cactus Bowl champion team, finishing with a team-high 86 tackles (10 for loss) and three interceptions. ESPN’s Todd McShay slates him as a second round selection, the 60th overall pick to Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots. “I’ve been trying not to pay attention to it, but I’ve heard everything so far all over the place,” Kwiatkoski said. “It’s so hard to tell and I’m just letting it go.” cgjackson@mail.wvu.edu

WVU carries series win into rivalry with Marshall By Alec Gearty Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

After taking two of three games in conference play to regroup from a point head coach Randy Mazey called the “lowest point that he has had since he’s been here,” the West Virginia University baseball team (14-11,4-4) will travel south to take on instate rival Marshall (15-11, 5-4) in Charleston. Tanner Campbell will most likely be on the mound for West Virginia, his first appearance since March 30 when he logged in 5.1 innings and allowed four runs. In their series against No. 16 Oklahoma State, the Mountaineers found their offensive prowess against a tough pitching rotation. As OSU’s pitching is amidst the top five in the NCAA, WVU generated nine runs and 20 hits in the first two games of the series. One of the leaders WVU found against OSU was first baseman Jackson Cramer. He enters the series with arguably his best performance at the plate this season. Cramer finished this past series by going 5-for-9 with two home runs, including his first career walk-off. After a big weekend, Mazey believes that Cramer and the team can bring forth positive results as long as the confidence is there. “That’s what hitting is all about : confidence,” Mazey said. “He’s maturing as a hitter, and I think it’s starting to show.” Marshall has yet to say

Darius Hill glances at his home run during the home opening win against Canisius. who will be pitching on Tuesday, but after its top three pitchers saw action this past weekend, odds are freshman Joshua Shapiro gets the start. With a team ERA of 5.25, the Herd’s pitching landed itself in the lower tier among teams in the Conference USA. Shapiro seems to still be adjusting to the college level, entering with a record of 0-2 with 7.27 ERA. However, with the possibility of facing a pitcher

who isn’t in a top conference comes something that haunted the Mountaineers’ batters. Most recently, West Virginia was shut out by a Canisius freshman just under a week ago. It’s a situation that Coach Mazey could not explain. “Our guys have no problem facing really good pitchers,” Mazey said. “Some games are just based on failure.” Senior Aaron Bossi and junior Tommy Lane, the

Herd’s most efficient batters, pave the way for the Herd’s offensive production. Bossi recently completed his first career cycle against Louisiana Tech. Bossi went one-for-six in two games against the Mountaineers last season. Tonight will be the first opportunity for Lane to play the Mountaineers after transferring from Mt. Hood Community College. Since the transfer, Lane has led the Herd in RBIs (22) and home runs (8).

The eight homeruns is second in the Conference USA. Last year, West Virginia split the season series with Marshall at one game apiece. Thanks to a basesloaded walk in the bottom of the eighth inning, the Mountaineers won 3-2 in Morgantown. However, Marshall got retribution a week later with a 3-2 win of its own in Charleston. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Tennis

WVU searches for consistency By Neel Madhavan Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Team consistency is a major key to success for any college tennis team. Even though players on any given team are seeded based on quality, both the top and bottom of the lineup must perform well on the court in order to win a match. In the case of the West Virginia University women’s tennis team, consistent success from both the top and bottom of the lineup have been hard to come by at times this season. In the Mountaineers’ recent loss to Iowa State, wins at the bottom of the doubles and singles lineup indicated progress, but the inability to close matches out at the top of the lineup hurt the team. “Most importantly, the things that we are working on, technically speaking or from a competitive standpoint, it has to be more consistent,” said WVU head coach Miha Lisac. “We see the progress, but it is there and then not there. It has to be more consistently present, not just with one

player, but everyone across the board, within the whole team. We have to stick with the changes we have been working on and implement them consistently.” One consistent aspect the Mountaineers have been able to rely on has been the play of sophomore Habiba Shaker. While the majority of the team has managed records around the .500 mark, Shaker has exceeded expectations with an 11-1 mark on the season playing both the No. 1 and 2 singles positions. “We’re still seeing some of the tendencies and difficulties that we’ve been trying to overcome throughout the season,” Lisac said. “Overall, our progress is not yet where it needs to be.” “We have players that have turned things around and are beginning to move in the right direction. When it comes to team competition, though, that has to be a collective effort; rather than just certain players performing well, the whole team has to play well for us to be successful.” In a conference as tough and talented as the Big 12, it can be tough for a young, in-

experienced team to be successful. Fact of the matter is, the Mountaineers have been unable to put everything together at the same time. Something has always lacked at the most inopportune times. Inconsistent play doesn’t help matters for a team that is still trying to claim its first Big 12 Conference win since it joined the league in 2012. “It’s important that we get the best out of every single week that we play because we never know when that opportunity is going to present itself,” Lisac said. “Somebody on paper may have had a better season than we had so far, but when it comes to teams that we see often or when it comes to rivalries, anything can happen. You see upsets every single week. It’s important for us to be ready and prepared for when those opportunities do come and present themselves.” After a week off, West Virginia returns to action this weekend with two home matches: Kansas on Friday and Kansas State on Sunday.

For the second time this spring, the West Virginia University women’s soccer team fell 3-0, losing to Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon at the Peterson Sports Complex in Oakland, Pennsylvania. The Mountaineers, who lost just three games last season, have lost both of their spring games so far, after a loss to the Western New York Flash of the Women’s Professional Soccer League two weeks ago. The second half has proven to be the problem for the Mountaineers, who boasted the second-best defense in the country last year. Through two games, the team has allowed five goals in the second half in the absence of All-American Kadeisha Buchanan as she prepares for the 2016 Olympics with team Canada. Pitt’s Taylor Price was awarded a penalty kick in the 16th minute and found the back of the net to put the Panthers on the scoreboard early. The Mountaineer defense, bolstered by freshmen de-

fenders and sophomore goaltender Michelle Newhouse, would hold the Panthers scoreless for the remainder of the half before allowing two secondhalf goals. The Mountaineers’ only scoring chance of the first half came when sophomore Kayla Saager got through a Pitt defender inside the box, but her shot in the 37th minute would find the hands of the Pittsburgh net minder and be pushed away. “We didn’t take good chances,” said WVU assistant coach Marisa Kanela in an interview with WVUsports.com. “We earned chances, but they weren’t clear, good shots. We had the opportunities and some great combination play, but we couldn’t bear down in front of the net.” Carla Portillo would receive the ball following a beautiful cross by Mountaineer forward Heather Kaleiohi, but Portillo’s shot would again be saved and would transition into another Pitt goal by Jarena Harmon less than three minutes later. Following several weak West Virginia scoring chances in the final seven min-

utes, Harmon netted her second goal of the game in the 87th minute to cap off a three-goal win for the Panthers. Spring games don’t count for anything more than for coaches to assess what needs to be worked on during the offseason. However, it is worth noting that the Panthers, who went 10-7-1 last year and missed the tournament field, have now defeated three of last year’s top 12 teams in Penn State, Ohio State and West Virginia this spring. Regardless, the Mountaineers have a lot to work on to be able to match the expectations set by the program in recent history. “We learned a lot on where we need to improve,” Kanela said. “Defensively, we need to work on organization. Offensively, we need to work on bearing down in front of the net so we can finish our opportunities.” West Virginia will host Georgetown at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Dick Dlesk Stadium. The game is the first of two the Mountaineers will play in Morgantown this spring. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
