BOG talks constitution amendments by jake jarvis managing editor @newsroomjake

Members of the Student Government Association’s Board of Governors read and then discussed a resolution to amend its constitution to change the way elected officials are replaced. If passed by twothirds of the Board at next week’s regular meeting, the amendment will be placed on the ballot during the

Homecoming Court election for the student body to vote on. The amendment would alter Article 11, Section 2, Subsection B so that if a seat on the Board becomes vacant, whether through resignation or impeachment, the next highest vote-getter will not need a confirmation vote of the Board to serve. “I know that logistically this (current resolution) makes sense,” Governor Blake Humphrey said.

“And I’m not necessarily opposed to it, I mean I think it’s a good idea. I definitely think there should be considerations of alternative options.” Humphrey said the BOG should consider the option of allowing Student Body President George Capel to appoint someone to the vacant seat until the next student-wide election takes place. In a press release following Elizabeth Sabatino’s ap-

pointment to fill now former Governor Amanda Hutchison’s seat, Capel said he felt a presidential appointment “oversteps my authority as President of the Student Body.” “I agree with Governor Humphrey that we should be cautious,” said Governor Madison Thompson. “But what I have an issue with is if you’re saying the president should appoint someone, I feel like that’s putting us in the exact same posi-

tion we are.” Thompson said a presidential appointment would by-pass what the students are saying. Daniel Brewster, SGA’s faculty adviser and an instructor of sociology, asked if special elections had been considered as an option to fill a vacant seat. Governor Sean Fitzwater said a special election wouldn’t be practical. Capel echoed this and said if the Judicial Board would

force the BOG to hold a special election to fill a vacant seat, the budget would have to shift and student organizations that receive grant money from SGA would suffer. A letter was sent to Attorney General Matt Blair on Sunday after the Judicial Board installed Sam Richardson on the BOG. The letter, signed by eight students including Richardson, was

Earth Day events continue, raise awareness in WVU community by emily leslie staff writer @dailyathenaeum

In honor of the 45th anniversary of Earth Day, West Virginia University held an array of events to demonstrate support for environmental protection on Wednesday. The Newton Apple Tree Dedication for Senator Jay Rockefeller took place yesterday afternoon in the Wise Library Rockefeller Gallery. In order to recognize Senator Rockefeller’s commitment to science, he received a descendant of the Newton apple tree from the National Institute of Standards and Technology last week, which was planted on WVU’s campus in between the downtown library and White Hall. WVU President E. Gordon Gee spoke at the event about the tree dedication to Senator Rockefeller and about the “spirit of innovation” the newly planted tree represents on campus. “Senator Rockefeller has always looked ahead— around the corner. Throughout his career he urged us to look ahead, too. Last week when he accepted this tree from NIST (that) would find its home on our campus, he envisioned the future discoveries it might inspire,” Gee said. “(Rockefeller) noted that it is an exciting time at

Jason Olen was confirmed as the Mountaineer Maniacs’ new director, replacing Stephen Orlowski. Olen served as the director of trips and director of finance for the 201415 school year. Olen was confirmed by a unanimous vote by members of the Student Government Association’s Board of Governors. “I had a chance to meet with this gentleman today,” said Randy Jones, chief of staff. “I was very impressed. I think he’s probably going to do great things.” Olen said in the meeting that he wants to increase student attendance at all sporting events by utilizing giveaways and tailgates. For Olen, the Mountaineer Maniacs is where he found his home. “It’s really been almost home for me at West Virginia University,” Olen said. “It’s been an organization I’ve been involved with in several different roles for about five years now.” The Mountaineer Maniacs is WVU’s largest student organization and “helps promote good sportsmanship as well as Mountaineer pride and tradition,” according to its website. Olen, originally from an area just north of Pitts-

burgh, is a graduate student in the College of Business and Economics. He transferred from a community college to WVU after one year. He said the group at WVU he felt most comfortable with was the Maniacs since he never got a chance to meet friends in residence halls or through a Greek organization. Though being active in the group for several years, his first year serving on the Maniacs’ board was when Orlowski was a sophomore. “The organization has given me so much as far as memories, opportunities and lasting friendships that it was just a great time for me to turn around and give back,” he said. During his seven years in Morgantown, he said he’s found there’s “nothing like WVU.” He said he sees the Mountaineer Maniacs helping create the cultural change many administrators and student leaders have called for after events that transpired last fall. “It’s going to take a campus-wide student buy-in,” Olen said. He said he would need the support of SGA and other organizations, but with the Maniacs’ large student reach, the organization could take the lead on this culture change. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

Iron Horse Tavern pairs with local brewery, promotes label with tap takeover BY KENDALL SNEE STAFF WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

On Wednesday, Bill Rittenour, local brewery connoisseur, and Steve Dilettoso, co-founder of the Iron Horse Tavern, held a tap takeover for those in the Morgantown community wishing to learn more about Chestnut Brew Works. Chestnut Brew Works is a local brewery created by Rittenour two years ago out of his home in Monongalia County. The takeover was hosted by Iron Horse on High Street from 6-9 p.m. For a mere $50, a person could enjoy a five-course meal and a pairing of beer.

“Chestnut Brew Works just opened their new tap room just down the street in South Park,” Dilettoso said. “This is kind of something new we’ve been doing featuring some local craft beers, doing different paired dinners.” Iron Horse’s recent takeover featured Big Timber Breweries and the establishment plans to host another one soon. “Our next event is a spring food pairing dinner, which we will be featuring multiple breweries throughout the state. That’ll be happening April 28,” Dilettoso said. “We have five different beers on tap and a full restaurant. I think everyone

in the building is drinking Chestnut Brew Works beer,” said Sarah Berardinelli, an Iron Horse waitress. “They have this pale ale; the cask we have here at the restaurant is actually permanent and hops are kept in it fresh.” Rittenour, a West Virginia University alumnus, wanted to keep the focus of his brewing company as Appalachian as possible, and explained his emphasis on the American chestnut. “I chose to name my brewery, ‘Chestnut Brew Works’ because I spent many years researching that tree and the blight that decimated its populations,” Rittenour said. “However,

breeders and enthusiasts have been working hard on bringing the American chestnut back. I felt the chestnut was a good symbol for our beer for two reasons: it was a staple of Appalachia, and its history also mirrors that of craft beer, which was decimated by prohibition but is making a comeback due to dedicated enthusiasts.” With this metaphor in mind, the environmental decline of chestnuts compared to the prohibition of alcohol, Ritternour not only ties the two together historically, but also scientifically. Rittenour explains how his education greatly impacted the way in which he brews,

saying that it helped him “immensely.” “Brewing beer is just an aggregate of all the different sciences, biochemistry, microbiology, botany to name a few. I take a different look at brewing because at each different step, I am thinking about the sciences and variables. As with any experiment, you try to think about which variables can be altered to improve the experiment’s outcome,” Rittenour said. Rittenour explained that indulging in craft beer can be expensive. “No, craft beer is not cheap to make or buy, so if the economy gets hit hard, people will start saving

where they can. One obvious choice is to reduce entertainment or luxury spending, which craft beer probably is for many people,” Rittenour said. Rittenour also discussed why the amateur brewer should be cautious when starting a business. “They should be afraid. I was very afraid, or perhaps nervous is a better word. You put a lot on the line when you attempt to start up a business, but one way to help quell the fear is to plan as much as possible and try to plan for every aspect of the business,” Rittenour said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

President Barack Obama walks the Anhinga Trail at Everglades National Park, Fla., Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Obama visited the Everglades on Earth Day to talk about how global warming threatens the U.S. economy. He says rising sea levels are putting the “economic engine for the South Florida tourism industry” at risk.

Obama sounds alarm on climate damage in visit to Everglades EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. (AP) — Amid lurking alligators and the steamy heat of Florida’s Everglades, President Barack Obama on Wednesday sounded the alarm about damage from climate change he said was already wreaking mayhem in Florida and across the United States. In an implicit rebuke to Florida’s governor and other Republicans, Obama accused those who deny the man-made causes of climate change of sticking their heads in the sand. He said rising sea levels that have infused the Everglades with harmful salt water have already jeopardized Florida’s drinking water and its $82 billion tourism industry. “You do not have time to deny the effects of climate change,” Obama said, with

the sprawling wetlands as his backdrop. Obama’s quick visit to the South Florida landmark, timed to coincide with Earth Day, marked his latest attempt to connect the dots between carbon emissions and real-life implications. With his climate change agenda under attack in Washington and courthouses across the U.S., Obama has been on a mission to force Americans to envision a world in which cherished natural wonders fall victim to pollution. So the president ditched his usual suit and tie Wednesday for a casual shirt and sunglasses as his helicopter touched down in Everglades National Park.

The goal was to make students aware that a team of engineers will be participating in a competition to design a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro into a hybrid electric vehicle while maintaining its sports car look and performance. Chelsea Betts, the communications manager for the EcoCar3 team at WVU, noted driving a hybrid car as a “lifestyle change” that betters the environment and as something people can get excited about without feeling guilty. “It’s really cool and I think it’s something that everyone can get excited about just because it’s performance and sustainabil-

through dense shrubbery and over the slow-moving river. Small alligators could be spotted swimming in the waters and shallow areas nearby, as a few large birds ducked in and out of the deep-green waters. The vast Everglades, known as the “River of Grass,” fuel the region’s tourism economy and water supply. Now roughly 1.4 million acres, the park comprises most of what’s left of a unique ecosystem that once stretched as far north as Orlando. Yet damage that started early in the 20th century, when people drained swamps to make room for homes and farms, has only grown more alarming as sea levels rise. Researchers fear by the time the water flow is fixed, the Everglades’ native species could be lost to in-

vasive plants and animals. “This is not a problem for another generation — not anymore,” Obama said. “This is a problem now. It has serious implications for the way we live right now.” Even still, the political overtones of Obama’s visit were impossible to avoid. Two Florida Republicans gearing up presidential campaigns for 2016 — Sen. Marco Rubio and former Gov. Jeb Bush — have treaded carefully on the issue of climate change amid deep pockets of opposition within the Republican Party. And GOP Gov. Rick Scott has attracted national attention over his resistance to acknowledging man-made causes of climate change head-on. Scott, ahead of Obama’s visit, accused the president of cutting millions in

Although Obama didn’t mention Scott by name, he offered a series of thinly veiled jabs over allegations his administration banned state employees from using the terms “climate change” and “global warming” — a claim Scott has denied. “Simply refusing to say the words ‘climate change’ doesn’t mean climate change isn’t happening,” Obama said. “It can’t be edited out. It can’t be omitted from the conversation, and action can no longer be delayed.” Florida and the federal government have partnered on a multibillion-dollar Everglades fix, but the effort has languished amid legal challenges and congres-

Disucssion of a proposed amendment to the constitution was tabled. While trying to pass the administration’s set of special rules for the 2015-16 school year, the Board was caught up by one phrase: “business formal.” “Not all of us have a ton of money to be spending on business formal (attire),” Governor Samantha Shimer said. “I don’t want anyone to feel like, ‘Shoot, I’m wearing the same dress I did three meetings ago.’” Several other members of the Board spoke about their concerns and the difference between business formal and business casual.

But Scott sought to put the blame on Washington — and Obama in particular — for leaving Florida on the hook for the repair. “Our environment is too important to neglect and it’s time for the federal government to focus on real solutions and live up to their promises,” he said. Unable to persuade Congress to act on climate, Obama has spent much of his second term pursuing executive actions to cut carbon greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. and abroad. Aides say Obama sees spurring action on climate as a central part of his legacy.

Choosing W.Va. benefits economy Last month, Workforce West Virginia revealed unemployment had gone up in 27 counties since 2014. Central and Southern West Virginia fared the worst overall, with unemployment rates of over 14 percent in counties such as McDowell and Calhoun. As students, this gives us a lot to consider when planning our futures. Graduating students eager to start their lives in the workforce will likely not pick a state with such a bleak economic outcome in which to raise a family or start a career, and the numbers appear to reflect this: West Virginia lost over 2,000 people in 2013— 1,800 more than the next lowest state. Unfortunately, this loss in population could be influencing the unemployment rates currently

side West Virginia, thereby influencing population decline and only furthering the problem. This has the potential to create a vicious cycle in which trade workers and

college graduates seeking jobs might never be able to receive adequate pay for their services. In a worstcase scenario, workers may even be unable to find financially satisfactory employment in the state at all. However, there’s a solution to this problem recent college graduates can directly take part in. Graduating seniors should consider staying in West Virginia and offering their skills in the state’s workforce. This would not only immediately benefit the economy, but would also create a better state for future generations. Population retention and growth prompts the creation of new jobs better equipped to financially support families. As unemployment decreases, more opportunities would become available overall.

Eventually, people living both inside and outside the state may begin to regard West Virginia as a lucrative place to work. Imagine the negative stereotypes surrounding West Virginia disappearing as its job market takes a turn for the better. This state’s rich history deserves to be celebrated by residents proud to live here, and this step begins with college graduates ready to begin their careers. We have the power to make West Virginia a better or worse place to live, but leaving the state will almost certainly guarantee the latter. Solving the problem at its source is the only option West Virginians have in creating a better future for all residents. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Cutting home health funds hurts everyone involved Kody Goff Columnist @retrosyk

The State Department of Health and Human Resources is proposing a new program that would cut the funding of home health programs. These programs are a major part of the lives of both disabled people and their families, and dropping funds from these will affect the livelihoods of a staggering amount of people. Not only will this directly impact those receiving the aid, but it means those providing aid will see less work, also impacting how they live. First of all, I should admit my bias. My mother worked as a home health nurse for the larger part of my life, and she’s now a case manager overseeing a vast number of people receiving this kind of aid. As any child is bound to, I would hear about her work every now and then and about how frustrating the financial aspects of this branch of healthcare can be.

plex to discuss in an opinion column, and frankly, I haven’t even seen or understood every last one of them. I do know these programs are intended to keep those in need of aid out of institutionalized care. While this is a grand sentiment that is in no way bad,

this program requires a waiver in need of renewing every five years, and we’re approaching that time. It was proposed that the maximum amount of in-home help be cut back from eight hours per day to four. This would mean the disabled person or persons

would only be covered by the state for four hours of help while the rest would fall on their families or their own pockets. This has the potential to make it so those taking care of the disabled can no longer hold a fulltime job - something that would have no doubt been necessary to pay for the extra care in the first place. There are nearly 5,000 people receiving this type of care in this state alone. There are another 1,000 on a waiting list for these programs, which is something I’ve also heard my mother discuss. The DHHR reasons the funds are spread too thin to accommodate everyone. So spreading them even thinner will help even more people? I understand the need to reallocate funds every now and then, but cutting funding and hourly benefits in half seems callous. Fortunately, these are just proposals at the moment, and people affected by the changes are encouraged to leave public comments and critiques at West Virginia’s Bureau for Medical Services website. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Systemic symptoms: Ending police brutality in American culture Chris Dierolf Guest Columnist

Society is complicated and governed by laws. Laws are enforced by the police. The state has the only claim to legitimate violence by definition. If a civilian arrests me, finds me guilty and subsequently detains me, they’d be guilty of assault, battery and kidnapping. That’s called vigilantism, and is normally frowned on. It’s illegal because you didn’t go through due process. And that’s how laws are enacted. That’s called democracy, but this is where I take issue. Due process is missing in police action. There is a rash of police violence that can spread in a society that calls itself liberal if it is left unchecked. Police violence is overarching, and the examples are almost endless. In San Francisco in 2009, Oscar Grant was shot while detained and posing no real threat to the safety of others. The events in Staten Island show how police can escalate a situation on their own, which ended with the death of Eric Garner. At Maryland University in 2010, a student was beaten by police for skipping down the sidewalk after their basketball team won. In 2013, at University of the Incarnate Word, an unarmed honors student was shot to death after an

altercation and a sarcastic comment during a traffic stop by a campus police officer. Most recently, unarmed Walter Scott was shot by an officer while fleeing in an obscenely nonthreatening fashion. The state enforces itself in many ways that can easily be classified in two categories: Ideological apparatuses and repressive apparatuses. The police are the latter. The former can be observed in things such as education, family, political views or culture in general. If one fails to live by an ideological apparatus, the repressive one becomes active. So it becomes clear what role police violence is playing. Police are acting as judges, deciding who is fitting in the ideology and who is not, rather than judging who is a threat and who is not. This means for committing a minor infraction, your life is forfeited if the officer finds you to be something other than orthodox. We can see a picture in these acts of “legitimate” violence. The police have life and death discretion over suspects, and in the examples cited above, most are covered by video directly contradicting police reports. An important point here is police subculture. In the case of Walter Scott, the video clearly shows the officer planting evidence. There is no doubt the officer’s partner would have corrobo-

rated the story of immediate danger. The police do have a very tough job to do. There are dangerous criminals who put both officers and the public at risk, so officers must be able to trust each other. This enforces an “us versus them” mentality and serves to isolate police, which means the rate and convenience of police cover-ups could be more than we might want to imagine. What does this say about our culture? Call me a utopian-ist, but maybe we can nullify the need for crime, thereby negating the need for police. This would be a complex maneuver involving corporate and personal habits, but I don’t believe anyone is born with criminal tendencies, so these tendencies must be instilled into them or constructed around them. For instance, since Colorado has legalized marijuana, the crime rate there has fallen drastically, reducing prison spending and increasing tax revenue. This is the simplest example but the implications are far-reaching. The definition of criminal and the need for crime is constructed, and if it is constructed, it can be deconstructed. The process of deconstruction is beyond the scope of this article, but once we have some of the pieces, we can start to figure it out. The point of this article

David Nail to swoon country fans at Schmitt’s Saloon Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

David Nail is prepared to give fans whatever he’s got. The country superstar will be taking the stage at Schmitt’s Saloon tonight. Schmitt’s Saloon hosts many artists from across the nation and is excited to expand its notoriously heated country lineup with Nail’s upcoming performance. “Schmitt’s Saloon delivers both an intimate and complete concert experience. We offer the best festival sound with the ability to be face-to-face with the artist performing. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house,” said Troy Koon, entertainment director for Schmitt’s Saloon. David Nail, born and raised in Kennett, Mo., found himself immensely passionate about music and sports growing up in a small southeastern town. While Nail may have been initially drawn to athletics, he eventually found his passion for country music. He then shifted to devote his time and energy into pursuing his dream. Nail moved to Nashville, Tenn., to fulfill his artist dreams directly after high school, but quickly felt overwhelmed and returned

to his hometown within a year. Nail decided to continue his pursuit of country music shortly after, and the second time around luckily landed him a recording contract with Mercury Nashville in 2002. With Mercury Nashville, Nail was able to record his debut self-titled album. The songs on the record not only relied heavily on the small town identity of Kennett, Mo., but also on plans for the future and everything in between. When Nail’s song “Memphis” rose nearly to the Top 50 on the Billboard country chart, many saw him as upcoming star in the industry. Due to differences with the label, Keith Stegall, one of the producers with Mercury Nashville, left the label, and the album was never released. While Nail faced the loss of his hard work, he took a break from his artist roots and briefly coached baseball. Nail then met producer Frank Liddell through a mutual friend, which eventually brought him a new record deal with MCA Nashville in 2007. Singles “Turning Home” and “Red Light” gave Nail instant fame as they quickly entered the Top 20 in Billboard’s country chart. The full album, “I’m About to Come Alive,” was finally re-

youtube.com

David Nail performs live leased in 2009. Since then, Nail has proved to be a thriving artist in country music with three successful albums, tours and radio hits, including his recently released album, “I’m a Fire.” Nail will be performing many songs from his widely sold album “I’m a Fire” at Schmitt’s Saloon on Thursday, as well as his classic hits and other songs of his choice. “I’m a Fire” includes current popular hits, “Whatever She’s Got”

and “Kiss You Tonight,” for a well-rounded album filled with an ode to ‘90s country music. “I’ve been a fan of David Nail ever since I heard the song ‘Let It Rain’ come on the radio as I was making my way back home one night. It caught my attention,” said Summer Ray, a WVU student. “When I heard that he was coming to Morgantown, I was more than excited to get tickets, especially when I heard it was at Schmitt’s

Saloon, which is always a fun atmosphere.” Rising artists Matt Poling and the Easy Ryderz will be opening the show, along with a short acoustic performance by Brynn Marie. The Easy Ryderz feature venue owner Owen Schmitt, playing lead guitar. Both Poling and Marie are currently living in Nashville, Tenn., pursuing their solo music careers. “This is a very special and rare opportunity to see a national touring artist in

an up close and personal setting,” Koon said. “Why drive 75 miles, pay $60 $100 to see an artist 100 yards away when you can drive five minutes, pay half the price, and be standing right next to the artist when they perform.” Tickets for the show are $35 online or at the door.

not lost on the viewer. With the stained glass windows colored red, purple and blue, one could imagine these same windows hanging in an ancient church portraying a very different story. Although this piece of work is controversial, you just have to go see it for yourself. Titled “Life of the Virgin: Grape,”“Life of the Virgin: Cherry” and “Life of the Virgin: Blue Raspberry,” there is perhaps a flavor for everyone. Another interesting piece was “Lainey” by Kacy Harrison. Harrison created a portrait of a young woman with acrylic paint. Shown with incredible detail, the viewer now knows exactly what “Lainey” looks like. Harrison even managed to capture the sheen of metal on the woman’s nose and lip rings. The eyeshadow, eyelashes and wrinkles from her smile are so elaborate, one must imagine the attention to detail Harrison paid. If you are a fan of Archer or circa 1960s cartoons, “Kiss 1” is the painting for you. “Kiss 1” portrays two animated lovebirds kissing each other. Jacki Fawber created a cool, modern cartoon-ish look with acrylic paint on a canvas. Instead of detailed, real-

istic art pieces, “Kiss 1” stood out on the gray stone walls. I’m a fan of vintage items, especially ceramics. Julissa Perkins captured everything I love in three intricate ceramic pieces. Consisting of a large green tray, a small white tray and a white teapot, the breathtaking pieces look like items out of a bohemian boutique. My favorite, the teapot, has a decorative design around the top and bottom. Just by looking at it, I can imagine sitting out on a screen porch in the spring time, sipping a warm cup of tea. The two trays also have a print around them that somewhat resembles a Native American tribal print. Beautiful and useful, these items are a must-see and a must-have. Overall, the exhibit was eye-opening. Every project portrayed the skills each artist had learned throughout the course of their college careers. Although some of the pieces were scandalous, art is about expanding one’s boundaries and ideas. For more information on art, go to http:// artanddesign.wvu.edu/ mesaros_galleries.

To be, or not to be the actual date of William Shakespeare’s birthday, that is the question. According to tradition, Shakespeare’s birthday has always been celebrated on April 23, although no one really knows the true date of the famous wordsmith’s birth. Records reveal an entry of a peculiar baptism, indicating an infant by the name of “Johannes Shakespeare” who was blessed on April 26, 1564. Just as strange as the unknown birthdate of the intriguing poet was his death day 52 years later on April 23, 1616. We can thank YouTube for bringing celebrities like Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black and Carly Rae Jepsen into the limelight. And on this day in 2005, YouTube officially took off when Yakov Lapitsky recorded an 18-second video titled, “Me at the Zoo.” The video featured Lapitsky’s friend, Jawed Karim, at the San Diego Zoo discussing elephant trunks. Little did Lapitsky know his candid video would forever shape the world of online video streaming. Now, more than one billion users frequent the site and nearly 300 hours of video are uploaded every minute. Founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen created YouTube to share at-home, improv videos, and in turn, landed a lucrative business. Since Google bought the company in 2006, the online video-

The Bachelor of Fine Arts Senior Project Exhibition is definitely something to see. The exhibition, which will be open to the public until May 15, 2015, consists of projects made by seniors in the Fine Art program at West Virginia University. Upon entering the Laura and Paul Mesaros Art Gallery in the Creative Arts Center, I was stopped by a sign warning me of “difficult subject manner and challenging formats”. Immediately, I wondered what lay ahead of me. After I further entered the room, I immediately saw what the sign had made mention of. Three stained glass window art pieces were illuminated on the wall. On each piece of stained glass were pornographic images. Women were shown laying naked in provocative poses and participating in oral sex. Men were shown masturbating, having sex with women and other men. One image even showed a woman with semen on her face. As taken aback as I was, I immediately saw what the artist, Emily Hersman, was trying to portray. The subtle hints of religion were

Eastwood reflects on long career dience of theater owners at the annual conference, Eastwood discussed subjects as varied as the most impactful film he saw as a child ("Seargant York"), his early struggles in the business, and the highs and lows of directing. Eastwood said projects consume his life and thoughts completely. When it's over? "There's sort of a postpartum thing that comes over you," he said. But it was the box office success of "American Sniper" that most interested the audience. Eastwood attributed the appeal of the film to the fact that Afghanistan and Iraq are on people's minds.

"Everyone has opinions on it, but nobody's really thought about it from the point of view of the families of the people over there and the people who go over there ... and donate their time for a belief that some of us think is a great idea and some of us don't think is a great idea," he said. "It opens a lot of questions that are fun to broach," he added. The 84-year-old Eastwood said he "ain't stopping" when it comes to making movies. But there is one genre he probably won't be dabbling in: superhero movies. "I read comic books when I was a kid," he said. "I don't read them now."

St. Therese, doing small things with great love Jillian Clemente a&e Writer @Dailyathenaeum

“It’s not the big things that make us saints; it’s the little things every day,” said Audrey Ahern, a West Virginia University alumni and star of “Therese: The Story of a Soul.” St. Therese’s story is a brief, yet impactful one. She became a Carmelite nun at age 15 after her mother died years prior, with the sole intention to just save souls. While there, St. Therese discovered the “Little Way” to become a saint: “To do small things with great love,” according to the play’s press release. Ahern is excited to fill this role for many reasons, but the show’s message is the driving force behind her experience. “People don’t have to be Catholic to love St. Therese,” Ahern said. “Her message is so universal that I think it has a lot to say, no matter your background. It’s the things we can all do.”

Ahern was first exposed to the story of St. Therese in her middle school days. Her school’s saint was St. Therese, and Ahern even chose St. Therese as her sacred Confirmation saint. Confirmation is a sacrament for Catholics in which they receive the Holy Spirit in a special way, and the saint is chosen as a model for the student to model themselves after so that they may receive sainthood as well. Considering her difficult past, Ahern saw St. Therese as the perfect fit for her. “St. Therese always had a lot of anxieties and worries,” Ahern said. “She was always worried and did something wrong and was going to hell, and was tormented with this as a child.” Ahern said that, as someone who has anxiety all the time as well, she needed to model after someone who took those anxieties with stride and put their trust in God to get through it. That model is St.Therese. “It’s an awesome, huge blessing to be playing her,”

Ahern said. But that’s actually the thing that’s scaring her the most. “The most intimidating thing of all, beyond the technical aspects and the acting, is having to become your character. And people think you’re crazy,” Ahern said. “If I don’t become my character, I’m not doing my job.” Ahern even took becoming her character beyond a literal sense. “Everyone is called to become more like a saint more like St.Therese - and do everyday things with as much love as possible; recognize your weaknesses and give them to God, and recognize your strengths and thank God for them.” Ahern tries to convey St.Thérèse’s love to everyone through her performance because she has been such an impact in Ahern’s life. “That’s the beautiful thing about St. Therese, she had so much trust in God and literally says that even if she’s done every bad thing she possibly

would’ve done, she would still know how much God loves her and will forgive her,” Ahern said. “There’s no reason to feel we can’t pray or have a relationship with God. It’s the struggles that bring us closer to Him.” The journey of the show started in February with some theatre training and has been a serious learning experience for Ahern’s acting skills and faith life. “It’s been such a huge blessing,” she said. “I’ve met some of the most amazing people (that were) so on fire for their faith and so involved in church. People are embodying the faith in so many ways. It makes me think about how I can inspire other people to live the faith. It’s incredible.” Ahern embodies her confirmation saint in the play “Therese: The Story of a Soul” tonight at 7:30 p.m. at St. John’s University Parish Center. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Capes 4 a Cure to raise money for Hunter’s Syndrome June 20 By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Capes 4 a Cure, a 5K run and kids’ run organized to raise awareness for mucopolysaccharidosis type II, will be held June 20 in Morgantown, W. Va. The run will begin and end at Hazel Ruby McQuain Amphitheater. The amphitheater will host the 5K run and Kids Fun Run, as well as other activities for the whole family including a Super Hero Dance party, a Kids Award Ceremony and a 5K walk. Families, friends, students, locals and pets alike are encouraged to participate in the event. Pre-registration for Capes 4 a Cure is held from April 1-May 30. By pre-registering for the event, runners can enter the 5K for $20. Registration af-

ter the 30th is $25. Entrance into the Kids Fun Run & Superhero Dance Party is a $5 fee, and family registration for the event is $40, which includes all events for up to 4 people. Mucopolysaccharidosis type II or “MPS II,” is a terminal illness caused by a lack of specific enzymes used by cells in the body that help remove waste materials created by the normal function of those cells. The 15 variations of the disease, all of which are considered rare genetic diseases, affect different enzymes. MPS II, or Hunter’s Syndrome, affects approximately 2,000 boys worldwide. Hope 4 Hunter, the nonprofit organization hosting Capes 4 a Cure, is an organization solely created to bring awareness to MPS II, as well as raise funds for

patients, viable research efforts and families of MPS II patients. Board President and Founder Michele Hoffman spearheaded the foundation of Hope 4 Hunter. “My nephew, Hunter Beam, was diagnosed with MPS II on June 15, 2012. As my family and I processed the heartbreaking news that Hunter had a progressive, terminal illness, I felt an overwhelming sense of urgency to do something,” Hoffman said. At that point, Hoffman, family and close friends began fundraising for the National MPS Society, and while fundraising decided to creat a nonprofit designed to help MPS II families struggling to survive while paying high medical bills and dealing with the emotional struggle of rais-

ing a special needs child. “I heard a story of an MPS II family who had to decide if they should pay for their sick child’s treatment or feed their family. I believe that no family should ever have to make that choice, so we began the Hope 4 Hunter family support program in addition to raising money for viable research options to find a cure for MPS II,” Hoffman said. Hope 4 Hunter has hosted events like prize bashes and rummage sales to raise funds for those affected by MPS II. “People should come to the event to learn more about MPS II. Yes, MPS II is a rare disease and alone there are only 2,000 people worldwide affected, but 1 in 10 people are affected by rare diseases,” Hoffman said. “The more awareness that can be spread about

Participants are encoraged to wear their favorite superhero cape. the diseases, the more hope there is that some day a cure will be found.” Participants for the event are asked to show their support by wearing their favor-

Crowe’s directing debute with ‘The Water Diviner’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Making his directorial debut with the brawny and big-hearted Australian war drama “The Water Diviner,” Russell Crowe taps a deep well of symbolism, cultural empathy and good old-fashioned storytelling. Crowe, who also stars as a grieving father stoically bulldozing through Turkey in search of three sons missing in action after the World War I battle at Gallipoli, is on shakier ground with a gooey romantic subplot, which brings to mind the actor’s out-of-his-element performance in the Ridley Scott rom-com “A Good Year.” With the centenary of Anzac - Australia’s WWI commemorative holiday - commemorations on the horizon, Australians will likely clasp this locally made, handsomely mounted melodrama to their collective bosom. Overseas prospects are less promising, despite the presence of the thinking man’s Bond girl Olga Kurylenko (“Quantum of Solace”) and a wealth of exotic, postcard-pretty locales. Mysticism laces the screenplay by Andrew Knight and Andrew Anastasios, offering an otherworldly counterpoint

to the gruesome realities of war and its relentlessly painful aftermath. This is a film that doesn’t glorify war a bit, despite the legend that has grown up around the tens of thousands of Australian and New Zealand troops sacrificed during the failed offensive on the Gallipoli peninsula in 1915. Following a punchy opening that, unconventionally for an Australian war film, provides a sympathetic view from behind enemy lines, we switch to the parched outback of Australia, where Crowe’s farmer, Joshua Connor, is digging for wells. Water-divining - known as dorelies on the practitioner’s psychic gift for locating his treasure beneath the ground. This talent comes in handy when Crowe, prompted by a tragedy on home soil that compounds the anguish of losing three sons in battle four years previously, makes his way to Turkey determined to find closure by bringing his boys’ remains home. Landing in Constantinople, Joshua secures lodgings at a hotel run by a cagey Muslim widow named Ayshe (Kurylenko), whose riotous beauty refuses to be

tamed by a succession of frumpy get-ups. From here, Crowe’s film takes an unexpected turn, becoming both an intuitive exploration of Turkish culture and a respectful assertion that, although the Anzacs lost at Gallipoli, the Turks were losers too. The idea that grief confronts all nationalities caught up in the so-called Great War is embodied in the person of senior Turkish military officer Major Hasan (Turkish actor Yilmaz Erdogan). When Crowe circumvents the roadblocks thrown up by military bureaucracy and turns up in a fishing boat on the shores of Gallipoli, Major Hasan becomes an unlikely ally in the search for his sons. Hasan and offsider Sgt. Jemal (Cem Yilmaz) are helping Australian officer Cyril Hughes (Jai Courtney) and the Imperial War Graves unit in the recovery and burial of Australian soldiers from the now-desolate battlefield. Explaining his willingness to help the broken but resolute farmer, Hasan replies: “He’s the only father who came looking.” The film gives a lot of space to emotions, but Crowe reins in his out-

sized personality to contribute an affecting, understated performance and, as director, underplays the allegories, particularly the recurring water motif, so they seep through the narrative organically. He also has surrounded himself with talented co-stars Ryan Corr’s heartrending turn in the grisly flashback battlefield scenes is particularly memorable - and a top-drawer crew. Oscar-winner Andrew Lesnie’s (The Lord of the Rings) cinematography is so exquisite that sometimes it alone propels the story. “The Water Diviner,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “war violence including some disturbing images.” Running time: 111 minutes.

middle ground. Tonight: A close friend cops an attitude.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You understand an expenditure surrounding your home and/or family. However, another person who is involved might not. Clearly, you are alone in this choice. Follow your intuition on how to proceed, and let go of your vision. Tonight: Awkwardness will disappear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Be aware of what is occurring between you and someone else. Words could belie what is happening. Share more of what you care about, and encourage others to be more authentic. Getting to that point might be interesting. Tonight: Buy a card on the way home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your words have an impact; trust that others will react accordingly. A partner might seem distant, perhaps in response to what you are saying. Is getting your way more important than having an easy interaction? Find some

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Friends support your drive to get what you want and/or to complete a project. Your biggest barrier could be your energy; it’s not endless, though you act as if it is. Keep in mind the end results, but take needed breaks along the way. Tonight: Choose what is best for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH A parent or higher-up seems to be very sure of him- or herself. Use your instincts when dealing with this person, and you will know what to do. A key friend might help you create circumstances that are much more to your liking. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You might want to imagine what it is like to have the power to change what is going on around you. A key associate seems inspired by your thinking, and he or she is likely to play a dominant role. Sit back and see what happens. Tonight: Hang with your friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You might need to view a situation in a dif-

ferent light. Your sense of humor could be off-color, but it will help many of those around you gain a perspective on their immediate dealings. Pressure comes from your own expectations of yourself. Ease up some. Tonight: Say little.

ten to your intuition -- not your mental chatter. Recognize the role your inner dialogue plays in your life, especially if the facts are not confirmed. Relax and listen more. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Detach, and you’ll find the answers you’re looking for. Follow your instincts. Others might respond in a way that delights you. Recognize the lack of facts being presented by someone, and let your imagination fill in the gaps. Tonight: Listen to music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of your ability to move people when you approach them with sensitivity. You could feel a little off, as you might be depressed or tired. Make time for a cat nap or whatever else you feel will heal you. Tonight: What you say could be confusing, yet it will be right-on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Someone close to you is likely to seek you out. Remain open, and lis-

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Try to be more nurturing when dealing with those in your daily life. Your abil-

ity to empathize with others could be instrumental. A friend will let you know that he or she doesn’t agree with you. Listen, but tune in to your inner voice. Tonight: Avoid a heated discussion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Make it OK to be on cruise control, even if a boss or a parent criticizes your behavior. Do what is necessary to appease this person, and know that your intuition is working for you. If you are single, an encounter with a new person could be significant. Tonight: Let down your hair.

TRANSFER TIME

nick golden/the daily athenaeum

Sophomore forward Bre McDonald dribbles past a Temple player during a WNIT game last season.

McDonald and Warren transfer following run to WNIT final this season by david statman sports writer @Dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University women’s basketball coach Mike Carey’s returning roster shrunk by two this week, after Carey announced sophomore forward Bre McDonald and freshman guard Tyara Warren intend to transfer from the program. McDonald, a transfer from Georgia Tech, rebounded from a three-game suspension at the beginning of the season for a violation of team rules to serve as an

important piece on West Virginia’s run to the finals of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament this season. The 6-foot sophomore from Lithonia, Ga., broke into the starting lineup after the Mountaineers floundered through a 0-4 start to the Big 12 slate, immediately providing a burst of energy and athleticism to the struggling team. McDonald wound up making 20 starts in her first and only season in blue and gold, averaging 6.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Although a defense-first player who struggled to score consistently, McDonald flashed the ability to provide an offensive punch and looked poised to serve as a key member of Carey’s rotation in the two years to come; instead, she will be looking for a new home for the second time in her collegiate career. A three-star recruit from Plano West High School in Plano, Texas, Tyara Warren failed to seize a consistent role in Mike Carey’s rotation in her freshman season and ended the year on the side-

lines after being suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules in February. Warren appeared in only 18 games for the Mountaineers this season, averaging 2.4 points and 1.8 rebounds on just 25.9 percent shooting from the field. Although Warren served as one of a pair of promising freshman point guards on this year’s roster alongside Dominique Simpson, the two rarely saw meaningful in-game minutes as senior Linda Stepney routinely played 40 minutes a night. Stepney’s graduation

looked to leave an opportunity for Warren to step up and seize a role behind next year’s presumptive starter, rising senior Jessica Morton. Warren’s transfer likely won’t have much of an effect on Carey’s depth at that position next season — not only are Morton and Simpson returning, but incoming freshmen Katrina Pardee, Yassemeen Sa’dullah and Lauren Saiki are all potential options at point guard. McDonald, who became one of Carey’s most trusted players last season, won’t be so easily re-

placed. Aside from All-Big 12 First Team selection Bria Holmes, Carey returns only one wing player from last year’s squad: Freshman Teana Muldrow, who showed inconsistent flashes of a deadly 3-point stroke in her first year as a Mountaineer. In addition, incoming freshmen Anja Martin and Tynice Martin both have the potential to assume some of McDonald’s minutes next season. Carey declined to comment on the transfers of McDonald and Warren. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Lyons announces fall schedule for West Virginia by ryan petrovich sports writer @Dailyathenaeum

West Virginia Athletic Director Shane Lyons announced the West Virginia women’s soccer team’s 2015 schedule on Wednesday evening, as the Mountaineers begin their campaign to defend their Big 12 regular season and tournament title. The Mountaineers will face 10 teams that competed in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. West Virginia will wrap up its spring season with a final match against Ohio State Saturday before moving into scrimmages versus Wright State and Navy in mid-August. The Mountaineers’ non-

conference schedule will include Virginia Tech and Maryland as part of the Indiana Tournament. “My goal every year is to prepare this team every chance I can so we can ensure that we’re better by the end of the season, and the Indiana Tournament is a great early-season challenge,” head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said in a press release. “SIUE and Virginia Tech are quality opponents. To be the best, you have to play teams that have achieved success, and that weekend will give us an early look at where this team stands.” West Virginia will also cross paths with Duquesne before playing Penn State. Penn State was a quar-

terfinalist in the 2014 NCAA Tournament and will be one of the featured home matches for the team. Matches against Villanova, Ohio State, Longwood, Buffalo and Florida Gulf Coast round out the nonconference schedule for the Mountaineers. “We want to get better every match, so having a strong nonconference schedule is important and will help us when we move into the Big 12 portion of our season,” IzzoBrown said in a release. “The Big 12 Conference was the second-strongest league last season, so we absolutely must be prepared for each of those matches.” West Virginia enters Big

12 Conference play in late September, hosting Texas. Last season, the Mountaineers won the Big 12 regular season and tournament championship, making them three-time defending regular season champions and two-time defending tournament champions. To close out conference play, West Virginia will do battle on the road against Oklahoma State and Baylor. “I’m expecting another challenge from each of

our Big 12 opponents in 2015. They all have great athletes returning,” IzzoBrown said in a release. “I fully believe that the Big 12 will be even better and stronger this fall, and we will have to prepare for that.” The Mountaineers will have 10 home games at Dick Dlesk Stadium, and it will be the 20th season the program has competed. “Our home schedule features some of the best programs in the country, and it

will be so important for our fans to be behind us each weekend at Dick Dlesk Stadium,” Izzo-Brown said in a release. “We always lean on our fans, and it will be great for them to be our extra support behind us each match.” The target will once again be on the Mountaineers’ back this season as they look to chase down yet another conference championship. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU running back Rushel Shell carries the ball against Kansas last season.

BY DILLON DURST SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Last season, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen added a new wrinkle to his Air Raid offense: A power running game. The Mountaineers actually ran the ball, on average, more than they passed in 2014, averaging 43.31 rushing attempts per game to 41.1 pass attempts. West Virginia’s 182.8 rushing yards per game last season ranked No. 43 nationally and No. 4 in the Big 12 Conference. Running back Rushel Sh e l l , a 5 - f o o t- 1 0 , 221-pound redshirt junior from Hopewell, Pa., led the Mountaineers with 788

rushing yards on 176 carries and seven touchdowns in 2014. Against then-No. 2 Alabama in West Virginia’s season opener, Shell only gained 38 yards against an elite Crimson Tide defense, but his physical running style showed promise. “That game I just wanted to let everyone know I was back,” Shell said in an interview with West Virginia Illustrated. “This year, that’s what I’m going to model my game after. Not be all trying to make someone miss and just run through people. That’s my specialty. I feel like that’s something I’m real strong at, and I (have) to use it a lot this year.” During West Virginia’s 7-6 campaign last season,

there was a direct correlation between Shell’s production on the ground and the Mountaineers’ win-loss total. Shell rushed for more than 70 yards in five of West Virginia’s wins in 2014 (he did not play against Oklahoma State), with the only exception being his 13 yards against Baylor when he suffered a game-ending injury. Shell tallied over 100 yards in games against Kansas (113), Texas Tech (110) and Iowa State (146). He also rushed for 71 yards against Towson and 98 against Maryland. However, the Mountaineers were 0-6 in games in which Shell rushed for 60 yards or less. During West Virginia’s three-game los-

ing streak in November and its bowl game loss to Texas A&M, the Western Pennsylvania native was held to under 60 yards against TCU (35), Texas (22), Kansas State (60) and A&M (22). Shell’s carries also decreased significantly down the stretch after the Baylor game. After carrying the ball 111 times through six games, Shell carried the ball just 62 times in the Mountaineers’ final five games, which resulted in a 1-5 mark. So, if Shell’s statistics speak for anything, West Virginia will need him to remain healthy in 2015 as it breaks in a new quarterback and receivers. The Mountaineers also

have running back Wendell Smallwood, who rushed for 722 yards on 148 carries and two touchdowns last season, to lean on. However, when opponents present favorable numbers in the box to run the ball between the tackles, West Virginia will look to Shell to pick up those hard-fought yards. After securing his position atop the Mountaineers’ depth chart at running back, head coach Dana Holgorsen said he expects more out of Shell as a leader this season. “He needs to take some things over,” Holgorsen said. “I haven’t seen him take anything over yet, and he’s been challenged.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Track heads to Philadelphia for Penn Relays BY DJ DESKINS

SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University women’s track and field team will travel to Philadelphia this weekend for the 120th Penn Relays at the University of Pennsylvania. The oldest uninterrupted collegiate track meet in the nation, the Penn Relays hold the third-largest

track audience behind only the Olympics and World Championships. This will be WVU’s fifth-straight year competing in the event. “Penn Relays is always a highlight for our track and field team,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “Having the opportunity to compete in front of 50,000 people is for some a once in a lifetime experience.” The Mountaineers will enter their fifth-straight

weekend of competition in Philadelphia and sit just two weeks away from the Big 12 Outdoor Championship in Ames, Iowa. WVU is coming off a strong weekend at the Virginia Challenge, hosted by the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Va. The team faced its toughest competition of the outdoor season, including ranked teams like Michigan, Michigan State and

Virginia Tech. On day one, only two Mountaineers competed in the triple jump and pole vault. Freshman Shamoya McNeil posted a careerbest mark of 12.51 meters in the triple jump, earning her a first-place finish. This is the second-straight weekend she posted a career-best distance. She will look to continue her strong play and earn her third first-place finish in four weekends. “I’m really excited to go because I’ve always wanted to, but I’ve never had the chance,” McNeil said. “This weekend I’ll be trying to improve on my last personal-record.” Sara Finfrock also competed in the pole vault to close out the first day of competition for WVU. She posted a vault of 3.37 meters and tied for 14th place. On day two, several Mountaineers competed in the 1,500-meter run and high jump. In the 1,500-meter run, Kelly Williams finished 11th in her heat. Her time of 4:24.47 was good enough for 26th overall in the competition. Williams was followed by Amy Cashin in 34th place overall with a time of 4:26.02.

“We have good depth in the jumps as we look to make progress with the triple jump, high jump and pole vault,” Cleary said. “The distance races will be covered by Savanna Plombon and Renee Maisonneuve in the 5,000-meter run and steeplechase.” Ma rsi e l l e Mc B ea m posted her best mark of the outdoor season in the high jump with a 1.68-meter jump. She followed her mark of 1.67 meters, good enough for first place at the Mason Spring Invitational, with a third-place finish this weekend. WVU plans to run in medley events as a team, much like the group who traveled to the Stanford Invitational several weeks ago did. “We made a goal to run in more relays with this group,” Cleary said. “I am excited to watch our distance medley relay.” Last year, WVU’s Penn Relays was highlighted with a first-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase by Sarah Martinelli. The Morgantown native finished in 10:17.47. “We have always had strong results at this meet,” Cleary said. “We expect to continue that tradition.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mid-week starters, bullpen vital to pitching staff

andrew spellman/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia’s Connor Dotson throws a pitch during last week’s game against Penn State.

BY CONNOR MURRAY SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

They say everybody’s working for the weekend, and that certainly goes for West Virginia’s mid-week starting pitchers and the bullpen that supports them. Because of the nature of college baseball, where critical conference series are played over the weekend with non-conference tilts sandwiched in between, teams try to set up a solid three-man rotation to get them through Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

“The conference weekends are so important to us that we can’t throw anyone in the middle of the week that could jeopardize their ability to pitch on the weekends,” said head coach Randy Mazey. For West Virginia, BJ Myers, Ross Vance and Chad Donato have taken on roles as weekend starters, but there are still those mid-week games that can prove to be detrimental if you’re not prepared. Mazey has spent the first half of this season shuffling his staff around trying to find the right mix of arms for these mid-week tilts, and Tuesday against

Marshall he pushed all the right buttons. Freshman Shane Ennis, who got his fifth start of the year against the Thundering Herd, threw three solid innings, giving up an unearned run, walking one batter and striking out five, and needed 51 pitches to do so. In an effort to save Ennis’ arm for potential relief appearances over the weekend, Mazey went to the bullpen early, bringing in Adam Keller, Jeff Hardy and Blake Smith over the course of the next six innings. The trio slammed the door on Marshall’s offense, allowing just one hit

and an unearned run over the course of their work. “Those guys have something to fight for. They’re fighting for innings. Once Shane Ennis settled in after the first 15 or 20 pitches, I thought he was pretty good. I thought all of our guys went out there and attacked the strike zone pretty well,” Mazey said. “Ennis, Hardy, Smith and Keller … all those guys need to be available for Friday, and I think we accomplished that.” Both Ennis and Keller have seen work as the team’s mid-week starter, as has freshman Conner Dot-

son, but yesterday’s result notwithstanding, there have been mixed results. “We’ve tried a couple of different combinations of starters in these Tuesday games. Sometimes Ennis throws better than Keller. Sometimes Keller throws better than Ennis,” Mazey said. “It’s a coin flip as to which one of those guys will start because they both have pitched so well in relief this year, but they both can’t pitch in relief. So we’ll keep looking.” While the search for consistency in a midweek starter continues, West Virginia’s bullpen

has been rock solid, helping the Mountaineers to a 5-2 record on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. In those seven non-conference tilts, the West Virginia bullpen is sporting an earned run average of 3.60, working 40 innings of combined relief while giving up 16 earned runs, 19 walks, 33 hits and striking out 35 opposing hitters. The weekend starters may draw the crowds and the headlines, but the midweek grinders, along with the bullpen, help pave the way to Friday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
