Off-campus locations to accept Mountie Bounty in the fall by caitlin coyne city editor @WVUCaitlincoyne

Starting this upcoming school year, West Virginia University students can begin purchasing food from off-campus eateries with their Mountie Bounty.

Student Government Association Governor Julie Merow has been working on this initiative since she ran

for SGA in spring 2014, and just last week she received confirmation that her hard work had paid off.

“So many other schools have this and we want WVU to be on the same level,” Merow said.

According to Merow, there has been strong support on the business side of this project as well as the student and University side.

“We didn’t have to con-

tact the businesses, some businesses in Morgantown had called the Mountain Card Office before to see if it was possible. The demand was there from the business side,” Merow said.

Throughout the whole process, Merow has been working with the Mountaineer Card Services to ensure everything is taken care of and the system can start working as soon as possible.

Two months ago Merow sent out packets to local vendors to explain the process to them and tell them how to be involved. While Merow is hopeful Mountie Bounty will start being accepted at businesses like Panera, CVS and McDonald’s come the fall semester, she believes it is too soon to say for certain.

New Mountaineers visit Morgantown for New Student Orientation by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

If one were to visit the Mountainlair in the late morning last Friday, they would assume it was business as usual: A mostly empty building with a few summer school students petering in and out to grab lunch. By noon, however, the Mountainlair became as crowded and active as ever thanks to West Virginia University’s New Student Orientation program.

Each summer, thousands of soon-tobe WVU students are able to visit campus to learn about and take in their future surroundings thanks to the orientation program.

“I’ve learned a lot of really cool stuff, like how all the systems work,” said Owen Harris, an undecided freshman student. “I met some really interesting people that I’ll be in a dorm with and everything.”

More than 200 students are booked for orientation each weekday in June, learning about housing, advising, scheduling

For most, San Diego in June presents the opportunity for an ideal summer vacation with its golden shores and perennially sunny skies, but for Virginian Frank Fumich ,the county was just the first stop on his 3,000 mile journey back to the eastern United States.

Fumich, a West Virginia University alumnus, is a competitor in the 34th annual Race Across America, a harrowing cycling race that began Tuesday in the military city of Oceanside, California and will conclude 12 grueling days later in Annapolis, Maryland.

Throughout the 12 days, cyclists will cross just as many states while racing against the clock to make it to the finish line in time. They will cycle over 170,000 vertical feet, equivalent to four ascents of Mount Everest.

“Cycling is kind of my Achilles heel of sports,” Fumich said. “My anxiety level is basically a 100 on a scale of one to 10.”

In his 17 years as an endurance athlete and adventurer Fumich has never competed in an endurance cycling race, opting instead for endurance running. After the Boston Bombing in 2013, Fumich ran three back-to-back marathons to raise money for the victims, then ran from Arlington to Boston to deliver the $78,000 his efforts produced.

Fumich says he expects RAAM to be one of the hardest feats of his life,

but is determined to finish strong, not for himself but for the man he is racing for, Ryan Diviney.

“I’m doing this because Ryan can’t,” Fumich wrote on his Facebook page. “Every time I want to quit I’m going to think of that. Every peddle stroke I make is one peddle Ryan isn’t able to do, every rain storm I go through is one Ryan won’t get to experience… and even the pain and discomfort is at least LIVING and he can’t have any of that.”

Diviney was a WVU student when five and a half years ago a physical altercation left the then 20-year-old sophomore hospital bound in a vegetative state of consciousness. Since the incident, Diviney’s family has stayed by his side, paying up to $2 million dollars in hospital fees annually, according to Fumich.

“There’s a lot of things not covered by insurance,” Fumich said.

Fumich named his fundraiser “RAAM for Ryan” and hopes cycling RAAM in Diviney’s name will not only raise money to assist the family with their medical bills, but also keep Diviney’s story relevant and noteworthy to the public.

As of Tuesday, Fumich has raised $32,000 in Diviney’s name.

“There were so many similarities between Ryan and I at that age,” Fumich said, explaining why he felt so strongly for Diviney’s story.

According to Fumich, both him and Diviney

WVU partners with McDowell County to continue CHOICES program

by Rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

McDowell CHOICES, a program started by the West Virginia University College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences just received a one year continuation grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The program was originally created with a $204,000 grant from the Highmark Foundation. This grant al-

lowed McDowell CHOICES to create and implement strategies that let students receive the 60 minutes of physical activity recommended daily.

The program’s recently received USDA grant will enable McDowell CHOICES to continue its efforts in increasing physical activity in McDowell County.

Eloise Elliott, WVU distinguished professor, elaborated on the benefits of the USDA grant.

“The grant from the USDA that we are currently implementing has a greater focus on getting families involved in physical activity with their children in after school programs,” Elliott said.

According to Sean Bulger, CPASS associate professor, McDowell County has a number of health dipartites. It is believed that this program will help alleviate some of the health concerns caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices.

“We took a look at it from a need and an asset standpoint,” Bulger said. “(We want) to create additional opportunities for children and adolescents, for them to be active during and after school.”

Elliot believes the program can help build strong partnerships within McDowell County schools and local communities as well as increase the number of healthy lifestyle choices made within school settings.

“We chose McDowell County because of the commitment from the school system, the communities and the Reconnecting McDowell Initiative in making physical activity and health promotion a priority,” Elliott said.

According to Elliot, the program took into consideration the voices of the children and the types of physical activities the children would be interested in when creating the program.

Six killed in California balcony collapse during a party

ap

Police and officials stand outside of the Library Gardens apartment complex, where a fourth floor balcony rests on the balcony below after collapsing in Berkeley, Calif., Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Berkeley police say several people are dead and others injured after a balcony fell shortly before 1 a.m., near the University of California, Berkeley.

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — A 21st-birthday party thrown by a group of visiting Irish college students turned tragic early Tuesday when the fifth-floor balcony they were crammed onto collapsed with a sharp crack, spilling them about 50 feet onto the pavement. Six people were killed and seven seriously injured.

Police and fire and building officials were working to figure out why the small balcony broke loose from the stucco apartment house a couple of blocks from the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. But one structural engineer said it may have been overloaded if, as city officials said, it was holding 13 people.

High school student Jason Biswas’ family nearby was awakened by the noise.

“They thought there was an earthquake, but then we looked out the window and saw seven or eight people on the ground,” the 16-yearold said. “There were piles of blood everywhere.”

Five of the dead were 21-year-olds from Ireland who were in the country on so-called J-1 visas that enable young people to work and travel in the U.S. over the

summer, while the sixth victim was from California, authorities said.

The accident brought an outpouring of grief in Ireland from the prime minister on down, with the country’s consul general in San Francisco calling it a “national tragedy.”

Police had gotten a complaint about a loud party in the apartment about an hour before the accident but had not yet arrived when the metal-rail balcony gave way just after 12:30 a.m., spokesman Byron White said. It landed on the fourth-floor balcony just beneath it, leaving the pavement strewn with rubble and the red plastic cups that are practically standard at college parties.

“I just heard a bang and a lot of shouting,” said Dan Sullivan, a 21-year-old student from Ireland who was asleep in the five-story building.

Mark Neville, another Irish student in the building, said: “I walked out and I saw rubble on the street and a bunch of Irish students crying.”

The U.S. government’s J-1 program brings 100,000 college students to this country every year, many of them landing jobs at resorts, summer camps and other at-

tractions. The San Francisco Bay area is especially popular with Irish students, about 700 of whom are working and playing here this summer, according to Ireland’s Consul General Philip Grant. Many work at Fisherman’s Wharf and other tourist sites.

Sinead Loftus, 21, who attends Trinity College Dublin and is living this summer in a different apartment in Berkeley, said Berkeley is “the Irish hub.” In fact, she said, “I’ve heard people complain there are too many people from Ireland here.”

“It’s student-friendly, it’s warm and it’s a lot cheaper than San Francisco,” she said.

Investigators will look at such things as whether the balcony was built to code, whether it was overloaded and whether rain or other weather weakened it, said Kevin Moore, chairman of the structural standards committee of the Structural Engineers Association of California.

Berkeley officials said the building code would have required the balcony to hold at least 60 pounds per square foot. Its exact dimensions were not released, but Grace Kang, a structural engineer and spokeswoman for Pacific

Earthquake Engineering Research Center at Berkeley, said it looked to her to be 4 by 6 feet, or 24 square feet.

That would mean it was supposed to hold at least 1,440 pounds.

She said it appeared small for the crowd that had apparently gathered on it, Kang said.

“They were packed like sardines, and then they were moving,” Kang said. When people “are moving about a lot or dancing, that impact load may further exacerbate” the strain.

Also, the apartment house appeared to have been wood-frame construction, and the balcony was cantilevered out from the building, with no additional support beneath. Both can make a balcony more vulnerable to dry rot and weathering in general, Kang said.

In the meantime, city inspectors barred use of the building’s other balconies while they are checked for safety.

The Library Gardens apartment complex, completed in 2007, is in a lively part of downtown Berkeley close to the campus and is a popular place for students to live. Several tenants

reached by telephone said it is well-maintained.

Berkeley Police Chief Michael Neeham said the response to the noise complaint had been given a lower priority after police received a call of shots fired elsewhere.

The building is owned by BlackRock, the largest asset management fund in the U.S., according to city officials, and managed by Greystar Management, whose website says it operates more than 400,000 units in the U.S. and abroad.

Fumich said. “I just want to help any way that I can.”

While Fumich is inspired and determined to finish RAAM, he is realistic about the obstacles ruling against him.

“Honestly I think I’ve got a 50/50 chance in even finishing. So many things can go wrong,” Fumich said. “I just want to finish for Ryan.”

Fumich will be expected to cycle at least 20 hours

and 250 miles a day, enduring temperatures more than 100 degrees to finish a cycling race that is longer than the Tour De France and over in roughly half the time.

According to Fumich, not only has his family and Diviney’s family been supportive of his endeavor, but so has the entire Mountaineer family.

“All Mountaineers think we’re the greatest and every

Mountaineer wants to stick together. Everybody is so excited to help,” Fumich said.

“This shows what a great community the Mountain Nation is.”

Throughout his training process, which sometimes lasted 15 hours a day, Fumich updated the public on

his preparations for RAAM while reminding them of the reason he is racing. He called for people to donate to Diviney by sharing links on social media.

“If this cause hits people in the heart like it did for me, I encourage people to donate. It really can help,”

Fumich said.

the schools down there,” Bulger said. “There’s a lot of interest not only from students but from communities as well.”

According to Bulger, data collected from McDowell CHOICES shows positive lifestyle changes, including increased activity among students. “(The program) is looking forward to seeing what can be accomplished in a long term time frame,” Bulger said.

The program previously provided funding for three after school programs at each

school in McDowell County.

Over $5,000 was provided per school for physical education class equipment, fitness program upgrades and professional development for physical education and classroom teachers.

McDowell CHOICES will continue through September 2015. The program will continue to focus on increasing healthy lifestyle choices as well as offering physical opportunities within the McDowell County school settings.

work just like buying food in the Mountainlair with Mountie Bounty. They swipe the student ID card and that is it.

“I think businesses see that it’s going to bring more students into their businesses and make more money for them,” Merow said. “There are a lot of options available on campus but I know sometimes students get tired of the food in the Mountainlair.”

Merow believes the option of paying with Mountie Bounty will appeal to parents of students as well.

“Parents like Mountie Bounty because they can

control what it is spent on,” Merow said. “If you’re not on campus but you don’t want to spend your own money you can use your Mountie Bounty. It’s a really convenient option.”

This is the third time someone has tried to make this possible, according Merow, but she is very confident this will be the last.

While Long said she primarily worked with parents, she still spoke at length

with 15 to 20 students per day. She said the most commonly asked questions from students were “Where’s the bathroom?” and “What do I do next?”

Orientation will continue through June, showing more than a thousand new students per week how beautiful the campus, town and the state as a whole really are.

“It is truly terrible to have such a serious and sad incident take place at the beginning of a summer of adventure and opportunity for so many young people on J-1 visas in the U.S.” A 2010 Associated Press investigation of the J-1 program and the companies that arrange the visits found that many students paid thousands of dollars to come to the U.S., only to learn the jobs they were promised didn’t exist. Some had to share beds in crowded houses or filthy apartments.

Following the investigation, the State Department tightened its rules governing participating businesses.

Soul Brothers serves up speedy, southern flavor ally litten

a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

High Street is littered with local restaurants and pubs. From pizza to burritos, there are a million options for anyone looking for a hot meal. However, there is a new style of cuisine here in Morgantown. Opening this past winter, Soul Brothers, the new soul food restaurant, opened their doors on Walnut Street. Offering all kinds of delicious soul food, Soul Brothers offers downtown Morgantown a unique cuisine for a cheap price.

Opening their doors on February 1, 2015, Soul Brothers has immediately become the new place to grab dinner or a late snack on a night out on the town.

Located next to Fourth and Goal, Soul Brothers is located in the old Sandwich U storefront. Owners Mark Kammer and Ray Glymph’s goal is to bring your momma’s cooking right here to Morgantown.

“We bring a unique take on things you don’t see in Morgantown,” Kammer said. “It is a fast paced business. It doesn’t matter how busy we are. In ten minutes, you will get your food.”

Soul Brothers offers a diverse menu. Fried chicken, deep-fried appetizers; you name it, Soul Brothers makes it. The mac and cheese, cornbread, shrimp, wings and ribs are delicious, however, the real

Made with catfish, chicken, shrimp or pork, Soul Brothers is the only place in town offering the yummy, authentic Louisiana cuisine. To top off

any meal, carnival favorites such as deep fried oreos, cheesecake and cookies grace the desert menu.

“The most popular menu item is the chicken and waffles,” Kammer said.

“Over the past few weeks, we have gotten a new menu. It is continuously revolving.”

The other perk of Soul Brothers is the fairly priced food. Most meals cost any-

where from seven to nine dollars and offer whopping portions. The homemade sides are only a couple of dollars, ideal for broke college students.

“I loved Soul Brothers. I

am a cook and I always have high expectations for food,” said WVU senior Nick Barbeau. “The popcorn shrimp po’ boy was awesome and surprisingly cheap.”

Kammer and Glymph purposely cater to college students by offering low prices.

“Our food is priced reasonably,” Kammer said.

“You are getting a full meal for ten dollars. Ribs are the only thing over ten dollars but you are getting a pound of ribs and a side.”

Soul Brothers offers a large dining area, as well as a delivery service. Open late into the night, WVU students and local community members now have the option for ordering soul food that is delivered straight to their door.

“I ordered my food and it came about thirty minutes later, which is not too bad for a delivery driver,” Barbeau said.

Although they have future plans, Soul Brothers plans to stay on Walnut Street for the long haul.

“We are both young,” Kammer said. “This is not the last Soul Brothers.

Right now we are perfecting the trade. We plan to stay here awhile. In a year or two, Walnut Street will be a much more prominent street.”

Zac Campbell debuts collection of metal creations at Arts Monongahela Woody Pond

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Arts Monongahela, the organization who runs a nonprofit art gallery located on High Street, held an exhibit opening Friday, June 12 for blacksmith and metal artist Zac Campbell. His work was scattered around the gallery, all for sale, with beautiful pieces ranging in sizes from a trinket that could fit in a pocket, to a two-foot standalone candlestick.

Greeting everyone as they walked in was Arts Mo n o n g a h e l a p re s i dent, Charlie Sims. A very friendly individual, he handled all sales of Campbell’s work as well as promoting the gallery and discussing art in general with patrons. He said the organization’s plan has always been to further art in the area and promote local talent in both art and

“The original intent was we wanted to advance the arts up and down the river…multi-county,” Sims said.

Arts Mon holds monthly live concerts, paint and sips, and adds many cre-

ative opportunities for the community to connect itself with the medium of physical art. At the Zac Campbell exhibit, Sims was intently trying to communicate with spectators so they would feel like their opinion was impor-

tant. They were all given the chance to write out or speak ideas on how to develop Arts Mon and to describe what they felt people would want to see or experience.

Though the gallery opening was an incredi-

ble chance for the public to view his work, he admits to truly thriving in his workshop.

“I just want to keep building, displaying is cool but I want to be in the garage,” Campbell said.

Campbell started doing metalwork when he was 16, as his brother and father were professional welders. He started just doing practical welding, before he began imagining the metal becoming something more. The infectious art bug had bitten Campbell. In 2003, Campbell built his first piece an abstract standalone sculpture.

“I see it sitting there in front of me, I build what I see…your hands have to catch up with your head,” Campbell said.

Campbell loves to challenge himself with his work. It seems simple to just heat the piece of metal you are working with and

then hammer it into the shape desired, but Campbell prefers to work with the natural curves of the metal when creating his abstract work. Some examples of this were on display—roses with convoluted stems, herons with crooked legs, and fish jumping out of the water twisting their scales freely.

There was beer and water on ice for any spectator who walked through the door, as well as a donation box for Arts Monongahela to support a continued presence in downtown Morgantown.

Sims encourages all artists to contact Arts Mon online if they are interested in opening an exhibit there. Information on upcoming events and gallery openings can be found on their website or the Arts Mon Facebook page. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Nicco Catalano : Morgantown’s self-made music master on the rise woody pond

a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Local Morgantown artists are fortunate to have an affordable quality recording and music editing service not far from home with Nicco Catalano of NeekAttack Productions.

Catalano has been working with rappers, pop singers, R&B artists and full bands since he moved to Morgantown in 2013 to enroll at West Virginia University. Catalano is a musician and a finance major, so starting his own music business seemed like a nobrainer. Since then he has helped record, mix and master hundreds of songs for over thirty different artists.

Catalano started working with home recording in 2009, when he was a member of a rock band in his hometown of Wheeling, W.Va. As a freshman in high school, Catalano and bandmates struggled to pay for time in a professional studio but wanted to have physical copies of their music for friends and fans. So they dove headfirst into recording themselves, where Catalano found he had an ear for detail in mixing—being able to pick out the conflicting frequencies in a song at first listen.

Later, as the band went their separate ways, Cata-

lano continued to pursue his love of making music by working with a handful of rappers from the Morgantown area. During this early period, he was not making money for his services, but was instead gaining invaluable experience and skills that would later make him more qualified in this field.

NeekAttack’s current setup consists of an iMac desktop computer that runs Logic Pro X with external Waves plug-ins, connected to an external compressor, FireWire interface,and finally an industry standard microphone. He also uses studio monitors in order to get a more full-bodied sound when examining a mix.

All of this equipment was mainly funded by the revenue Catalano has accumulated over the past two years servicing artists.

When he first got to Morgantown, he needed to find clients so that he could grow his business.

Catalano said most of his first artists were referred to him via word of mouth, with friends referring him to local rappers, as well.

These artists helped promote NeekAttack Productions as a brand, sparking more artists to get in touch with Catalano. By his sophomore year of college, Catalano was recording artists or mixing their songs virtually every

day. The key to his growth has been in his rates and charisma.

“The biggest thing is my pricing. I do $30 an hour, but you get a finalized product from that. Professional studios charge by the hour but also charge a lot for mixing and mastering,” Catalano said. “I’m very personable with all the people I work with - I give honest opinions and feedback.”

This information can be attested to, as one of NeekAttack’s frequent recording artists Chris Allen has nothing but positive things to say about his musical engineer.

“Nicco knows his artists. He knows the sound we want just as much as we do. He knows what we will think sounds good,” Allen said. “There is ton of chemistry on a musical level between us. Then, he’s just cool. We have become actually pretty good friends, so everything is perfect right now.”

But Catalano doesn’t think he has even scratched the surface of the music business, as he plans to legitimize his company. He also hopes to establish products that would make home recording easier and more enjoyable for amateur artists. Catalano is constantly teaching himself more and more about mixing and recording music, reading

Artists produced by NeekAttack perform live. books and watching online tutorials on how to use the hardware and software to their highest potential. His biggest concern is making the music quality as good as that of a professional studio.

“When I mix a song, I want to make sure the average ear thinks it is just another song they bought on iTunes,”Catalano said.

OITNB helps shed light on major issues in US prison system

abovethelaw.com

The popular Netflix series has opened many eyes to issues with the U.S. prison system.

Chances are good that you have seen the Internet or even your circle of friends abuzz over the newly released season of Orange Is the New Black.

Perhaps you’ve even bingewatched the show yourself. Most shows about the criminal justice system have the main focus of solving crime and locking up the bad guys responsible. Orange Is the New Black, however, is quite the departure from this point of view, choosing instead to focus on life inside prison and the ways people deal with it. While entertaining, Orange Is the New Black does have a way of making one think critically about the prison system.

The show itself is an adaptation of author Piper Kerman’s memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year

in a Women’s Prison. Privileged and well-educated, Kerman is hardly the type one would easily guess to be an ex-convict. Her experience in prison led her to write the book and become an advocate for prison system reform. Even though the show itself is a fictionalized account of Kerman’s real-life incarceration for a 10-year-old drug offense, the important themes of the book still make their way onto the screen.

Orange Is the New Black hosts a diverse cast of characters that gives viewers a glimpse into the reality of prison life. However, the women housed in the show’s Litchfield Penitentiary are hardly representative of the United States’ prison population.

Most people incarcerated on American soil are men,

and an overwhelmingly large number of those prisoners are Black or Latino.

The annual cost of keeping these people imprisoned is a whopping $74 billion, money that would probably be better spent improving communities where people feel the need to resort to criminal activity.

Orange Is the New Black takes the viewer behind the walls of Litchfield Penitentiary and into the lives of its inmates, whose stories are similar to those of many of America’s 2.2 million inmates. A large number of inmates are socioeconomically disadvantaged, their lifelong lack of education and opportunity driving them into the gaping maw of the criminal justice system. Also present are people who would be much better off in insti-

tutions that are not prisons, such as people who are struggling with addiction or serious mental illness. The people suffering from these afflictions require different resources that prisons often lack and they should be dealt with accordingly.

The United States incarcerates more citizens than any other nation, and by no small margin. But why is the prison population in the United States so staggeringly high? The answer is not an easy one, with many contributing factors.

Now more than ever, more people are doing time and with mandatory minimum sentencing, those convicted often receive longer sentences than they would in the past. Even people with nonviolent offenses are serving more

time.

Because there is a lack of support for people upon release, it is also very easy to end up back in prison after their time is done. Ex-cons with nowhere to go have a hard time finding public housing that will accept people with a criminal record. Also difficult is finding a decent job, due partly to a lack of job training programs that allow prisoners to better themselves and partly due to employers being unwilling to hire convicted felons. With no way to obtain a job or housing, people may feel the need to resort to criminal activity once again in order to survive. The prison system does very little to encourage growth or to make offenders see the true repercussions of their crime, instead focusing on mak-

ing people feel as if they lack any sort of agency.

Of course, these are all very big problems to tackle, but now that Orange Is the New Black has caused so many people to think about the prison system and the people affected by it in a new way, it is possible to start a conversation about how we can do things better than we have been doing them. The show itself does not glorify the crimes committed by the characters and it doesn’t even portray the characters as good or bad, just as people. This editorial board believes by entertaining viewers in a thoughtful manner, Orange Is the New Black humanizes the stories of American prisoners in a way no article can. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Respecting local customs necessary when traveling abby Humphreys columnist @obiwan_baloni

Four American tourists were arrested several weeks ago for stripping on a mountaintop in Malaysia deemed sacred by the locals. When an earthquake struck the area the following week and killed eighteen people, Malaysian officials detained the tourists at the airport and will likely charge them with public obscenity, claiming their presence angered the spirits who reside in the mountain and caused the earthquake.

The Internet has exploded in recent controversy over the validity of a country arresting tourists over an issue as bizarre and unrealistic as spiritual discord. With the rise of the secular worldview in most parts of the developed world, it’s no surprise why this response has been so common among the readers of online news sources.

However, the situation re-

Respecting culture while traveling will help ease your transition. quires a bit of empathy and tolerant thinking in order to understand why the tourists were entirely in the wrong, not the Malaysian people detaining them.

This isn’t the first time American tourists have been taken into custody for disrespecting property of significant value in other

countries. Two California women were arrested in March for carving graffiti into the walls of Rome’s Colosseum and faced prison sentences for the crime.

Their offense on the surface may seem quite different than the incident in Malaysia, but the two have a number of similarities.

rachdeebeauty.wordpress.com

While the Colosseum isn’t sacred in a spiritual sense, it’s considered a treasured and ancient space by people around the world, and signs are posted around the site to deter the kind of behavior tourists are unfortunately known far and wide for participating in.

The women were regarded

as acting stupidly and out of line by nearly everyone who came across their story, as it’s common sense to not leave crude, impulsive marks on historical buildings in general.

The tourists in Malaysia acted similarly on a mountain of equal importance to the local people, and were even notified of the sacred quality of the mountain by their guide before disrobing.

However, the rest of the developed world doesn’t appear to recognize the influence of local spirits as being reason enough to detain tourists from leaving the country. Laws should never be made on the basis of spiritual presence or divine involvement, but it’s still incredibly important to honor local customs and treat them with respect, no matter where you are in the world.

To question whether the mountain actually harbors spirits or not misses the point entirely. Think about it: If the tables were turned, Americans likely wouldn’t

want to see people from other countries stripping in a church or synagogue just because the tourists didn’t regard our spiritual customs with the same kind of importance and respect as we do. I don’t believe the tourists in Malaysia set out with the intent to disrespect the local people with their actions, but unawareness or ignorance of a culture can be just as destructive as any blatant act of defilement.

Regardless of what is “true” or not from a religious standpoint, customs are customs, and learning to honor them correctly is a crucial part of becoming a more empathetic and understanding human being overall. This group of tourists has unfortunately given the rest of the world an image of an arrogant, egocentric America, but future tourists would do well to learn from their mistakes when traveling and represent this country in a more positive manner. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Society’s limits on identity politics: The slippery slope argument kody goff columnist @retrosyk

Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP chapter president who was recently revealed to be a white woman masquerading as African American, is ridiculous. While I don’t think Dolezal’s intentions harbored any ill will, what she did is a little more than disrespectful and frankly it’s just plain stupid.

Many have cited this incident, saying “how far will identity politics go?” using a line of reasoning fre-

DA

quently called the slippery slope argument. These arguments, which some call fallacies, tend to state something along the lines of “if X is made normal/legalized what’s to stop Y?” with X being a concept or lifestyle recently accepted by most of society, and Y being the exact opposite.

It’s easy to see the flaw in this reasoning, especially when X is usually something like gay marriage and Y is something ludicrous like pedophilia. However, with cases like Dolezal, it becomes easier for others to see this slippery slope in re-

gards to identities. With this case being so close behind transgender woman Caitlyn Jenner’s rise to fame, many might say “If we can change genders, why not races?”

While that line of logic may seem to follow, hear me out on why Dolezal’s strange race case draws a clear line in the sand and makes the slippery slope more like a steep staircase.

Obviously Dolezal will have her supporters. No matter where you go, there will be someone, somewhere, who will agree with you. However, these people are a fraction that pales in

comparison to the amount of people who see this for what it really is: An isolated case of identity insanity. However, what separates “trans-racial” from the more accepted transgender? It’s a matter of brain chemistry.

Whether or not you believe that gender is entirely a social construct, psychology and neurology tell us definitively that men and women are wired differently. With that in mind, it’s easy to see how someone may be wired much like the opposite gender, and thus identify with said gender. However, race is almost purely

superficial. Sure, there are some minute differences in bone density, sensitivity to sunlight, and muscle mass here and there, but there’s nothing that separates the races mentally. Differences in philosophy and thought processes can often be attributed to culture and ethnicity, but not race.

So, while Dolezal may be a rallying point for people to claim identity politics is overstepping its bounds, her situation and the attention surrounding it also serve as a good point of reference as to just how far we as a society will let people go. Race

and gender may be something you’re born with, and you may feel that you’re in the wrong gender, but feeling like you’re in the wrong race? While in theory it may be harmless to try and acclimate oneself to a different culture or ethnicity, race is something that simply cannot change, and the reaction to Dolezal shows us this isn’t going to change any time soon. Perhaps if you feel that you’re born into the wrong race, you should rethink some other things besides your skin color. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Jurassic World takes fans on an emotional ride kendall snee a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

There’s a certain stigma that goes along with the tireless reincarnation of certain movie franchises. Lest we all forget the train wreck that was “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.” Despite the fact that certain blockbuster classics are better remembered than remastered, the world still eagerly awaited the release of Jurassic World. It didn’t disappoint.

Although revamped with a little more CGI, “Jurassic World” kept to the same principles as its past movies. We see the corporate big guy who forgets that these gentle giants have feelings too. We also see the person who originally hates kids, but ends up loving them.

They’re quickly reminded of what life was like before they got to be so jaded. These are a just a handful of the life lessons placed throughout the film, proving this isn’t your typical dinosaur movie.

“Jurassic World” brought to the table something not even fans could have pre-

dicted: Laughter. With new inventive characters who always have something witty to add, it was strange to think how the audience was overcome with laughter rather than fear. And with a guest cameo from Jimmy Fallon, this movie is full of funny tidbits for all types of Jurassic fans.

When considering giving this oldie a new chance, don’t let history steer you wrong. “Jurassic World” is a classic effortlessly retold. Everyone wants to see the dream get bigger. With Jurassic Park now Jurassic World, the environment takes on a new touristy aesthetic, resembling something along the lines of Universal Studios. Being able to recreate dinosaurs is no longer as impressive as it used to be, so mad scientists become deeply fascinated with making their little miracles into war-waging beasts.

With more gore than previous films, the death count for this movie is strikingly high.

But storyline and setting aside, the cast truly delivers. Chris Pratt, who plays some kind of velociraptor trainer, teaches us the

jurassicworld.org

Chris Pratt takes on multiple dinosaurs in his role in Jurassic World. importance of friendship.

Whether among dinosaurs or his red headed corporate love interest played by Bryce Dallas Howard, Pratt’s character embodies the true essence of loyalty and love.

With the film showcasing constant power struggles between humans and dinosaurs, older brothers and younger brothers, or good

versus evil, the movie couples unpredictability with the same classic tale we know and love.

Now, that’s not to say the monsters haven’t changed.

You can’t have a dinosaur movie without big players like the ferocious T-Rex. But all the added gene splicing could have made the movie a bit too science-fic-

tion heavy. But, filmmakers avoided crossing this line.

With the creation of a new evil species that hunts cute long-necked dinosaurs for sport, the movie has a way of pulling on one’s heartstrings.

Fans’ emotions were especially on edge in the scene in which a brachiosaurus is taking its last few breaths in Chris Pratt’s arms. There’s

this strange moment where the creature has this helpless expression. I think it was trying to convey to Pratt’s character that it’s all about survival of the fittest. It is this combination of action, emotion and a little light-heartedness that makes this franchise so memorable. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Album Corner: Bold new faces and a blossoming solo career arise

The band Citizen releases its sophomore album.

woody pond

a&e writer @Dailyathenaeum

Everybody Is Going To Heaven by Citizen Taking a rather large departure from their debut style, the Ohio/Michigan pop-punk band Citizen gets very grim on their new LP. Their second album, ironically titled Everybody Is Going To Heaven, is due to release Tuesday, June 23. Fortunately for me and other fans of the group, their label Run For Cover Records elected to privately stream the album on Soundcloud June 9.

The first two singles, “Cement” and “Stain,” had given me a slight picture of this album as very grungy and harsh, with deep and overpowering bass lines.

This grim hum is accompanied by minor chords and dead notes behind lead vo-

silverbulletmerch.com

calist Matt Kerekes’s hurt words and pained wail.

Kerekes showed a lot of vocal diversity on this record, continuing to showcase his punk singing while also dipping into some forced screams on “Stain.” He even incorporated a bit of mumbling through songs like “Ten.” The album is certainly reminiscent of early Nirvana in its structure, with lyrical focus on loneliness, unworthiness, and falling deeper into the shadows of life.

There are breaks from the brutal speed of the album with acoustic numbers and interludes toward the end of songs, which helps the record flow smoother. My initial opinion was that this album was going to be too brooding and unsettling for my taste, but as I continued listening I found myself relating to many of

Ryn Weaver prepares for her mainstream debut. the themes present in the music both instrumentally and lyrically. I am finally confident enough to say that Everybody Is Going To Heaven will have its own place in my June playlist.

The Fool by Ryn Weaver You’d be a fool not to think Ryn Weaver is the next indie-pop sensation.

In August of 2014, she released a single onto Soundcloud, “Octahate.” The song was co-written with Charli XCX and boasted a team of big name producers, including Benny Blanco, EDM artist Cashmere Cat, and the band Passion Pit. The song instantly blew up, getting noticed and recognized by several popular artists before peaking at number three on Billboard charts. From there she has only continued going up.

With her new album The Fool, which was released

time.com

on June 15, she has continued to show her pop ingenuity and further herself from the pack. Throughout the album, I heard many different sounds and loops being used in the instrumentals, which added fullness and depth to the production. The vocals still fell nicely into the mix though, and nothing was lost.

Weaver’s songs on her new record The Fool feature simple but elegant catchy beats, which blend pop and wavy dance music that will stick in your head for many weeks.

There is one acoustic song on the album, “Traveling Song,” and it is a very pleasant reprieve from the bass kicks and synth pads of the rest of the album. It also is allowed Weaver’s bird-like voice to shine. Give it a chance, and The Fool could become a cheerful soundtrack to

Grand Romantic by Nate Ruess Nate Ruess’s debut solo album is exactly what it tells us it will be; grand and romantic. After the international success of Fun.’s 2012 album Some Nights, Nate Ruess has decided to pursue a solo career.

Grand Romantic was released on June 16 after several preceding singles, the most notable being “Nothing Without Love.” This track is an upbeat, piano man pop song. Ruess does a lot of similar lyrical and vocal work to Some Nights, with layers of reverb and harmonies coinciding with hints of distorted spoken word. But the production on Grand Romantic is much more electronic, with a lot of effects being put on the many instruments used to give them

fdrmx.com

a more unique and modern feel.

Ruess shows off his range on every song from start to finish in a pleasant mix of ballads and pop anthems, proving once again that he is one of the most stand-out male vocalists of this generation. I hear a 21st century reincarnation of Freddie Mercury in some songs, especially his collaboration with rocker Beck on “What This World Is Coming To.” Ruess also sticks to his usual style of crooning over piano about chasing love and overcoming his fears and pain on songs like “It Only Gets Much Worse” and “Grand Romantic.” It is a special album with both happy and sad extremes and a lot of beautiful notes from the golden vocal box of Nate Ruess. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Pittsburgh’s free entertainment UM and Panic are the perfect pair Ally Litten

chelsea Walker

One of the greatest perks of going to West Virginia University is the short drive to Pittsburgh. Not only is Pittsburgh home to the Pirates, Steelers and Penguins, but it also offers a lot of free events in the colorful, unique streets of the Steel City, which is great for college students. Here are the top five free events in Pittsburgh in the month of June.

1. Schenley Plaza Share Fair Held in Schenley Plaza on Saturday, June 20, the Share Fair is filled with good vibes and unique items. The event encourages community members to rid themselves of useless junk and socialize in a chill setting. Rain or shine, the event will be held under a giant tent in the middle of the plaza. The goal of this fair is to encourage good, old-fashion social interaction. If you are in need of some new friends, go enjoy the summer weather and reclaim the commons.

2. BkSq’s Organic and Homemade Marketplace Held in front of an upscale Pittsburgh apartment building, Bakery Living, the event is held the last Sunday of the month. Organically Social will kick off the market at 11 a.m. by offering free fitness classes for those interested. Starting at noon, the free marketplace will open, offering organic items sold by local businesses.

Rhythm, rhymes, blues and a touch of psychedelic rock concoct the unorthodox sounds that generates American rock band Widespread Panic.

Just as its name indicates, the group’s style incorporates ‘widespread’ musical influences from jazz, blues, southern-rock to funk.

Widespread Panic’s era began 27 years ago, when band members John Bell, a singer well known as J.B, a bass playing fiend Dave Schools and a guitarist Michael Houser, nicknamed “Panic” for his anxiety spells, began collaborating jams in the Athens, Ga., area. The group, in dire need of a drummer, found luck when they met Todd Nance and Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz. After playing in small venues within the Athens music scene, Widespread Panic’s groovy aesthetic landed them in the studio of Landslide Records, where their debut album, “Space Wrangler” was born in 1988.

Adding one more musical funk fanatic, Panic’s lineup was officially set when the group added keyboardist John “JoJo” Hermann.

Panic wasted no time

Spectators gather for the Share Fair in Schenley Plaza.

Homemade items, live music and positive, green vibes will fill the commons. If you miss the June event, the marketplace will be held on the last Sunday of every month until September.

3. The Waterfront’s Summer Block Party Series Starting in June, the Pittsburgh Waterfront will be bumping on the last weekend of every month. A 100 percent free event, the block party will start at 5 p.m. and will continue on into the night. The live music, games, activities, prizes, food and giveaways are just part of the experience. Rock Bottom’s Summer Honey Ale will be tapped and flowing, as well as items from other Waterfront vendors.

Come, grab a brew and enjoy the scenic view of the rivers of Pittsburgh.

4. Celebrate International Yoga Day Mark your calendars for June 21. Celebrating yoga and the bliss that accompanies it, OVBI Pittsburgh welcomes all health enthusiasts to Schenley

Plaza. Starting at 8 a.m., meditation will begin in a group setting. Yoga-thon challenges, including Sun Salutations, will also take place. Although the event is entirely free, one must register online beforehand.

Just bring your yoga mat, a positive mindset and an open spirit and help turn Schenley Plaza into a place of serenity.

5. WYEP Summer Music Festival On Saturday, June 27, WYEP is putting on a free music festival to any music lovers interested in having a great time. Starting at 3 p.m., the music will start at Schenley Plaza and will play on into the night. Martin Sexton, The Lone Bellow, Kopecky and others will grace the stage. I Made It! Market, a homemade indie crafts fair, will be present as well as an activity area for children. Feel free to bike to the festival because Bike Pittsburgh will be offering free bicycle valet services. Overall, it is bound to be a good time. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

recruiting the likes of devoted music fans with their stellar sets. The group released nine studio albums, sold out more concerts at Red Rock Amphitheater in Golden, Colo., and was headlining nearly every major U.S. music festival over the following two decades, setting the jam band scene ablaze.

In 2002, tragedy struck the band when Houser was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. His death on August 10, 2002 left the band in shambles. It wasn’t until 2006 when Bell recruited old time friend and wicked guitarist Jimmy Herring, who was no stranger to the onstage limelight. Herring’s past, streaked with a loaded resume, had the musician on stage with greats such as The Allman Brothers Band, Derek Trucks Band and The Other Ones, a band that hosted the “core four” members of the Grateful Dead. Herring’s inclusion propelled Panic into a rejuvenated and renewed state, adding a layer of vintage twang and soul resonating from the strings of his sizzling guitar.

On its Summer 2015 Tour, the jam band that combines an array of genres hopes to keep its “sunnyside up” and its “dirty side down” as they

take the stage in Pittsburgh, Pa. With special guests Umphrey’s McGee, Widespread Panic will have no trouble prepping the crowd for a rocking night of music. Umphrey’s McGee combines progressive rock with jam band sets to create the ultimate rock n’ roll genre. Band members Brenden Bayliss, Jake Cinninger, Joel Cummins, Andy Farag, Kris Myers and Ryan Stasik have 17 years of onstage craftiness, playing more than 100 concerts every year. Umphrey’s jams have a genre of their own known as “progressive improvisation,” as the group meshes many undertones of the jam band scene like bands such as Phish while also incorporating funk rock mostly accustomed to old school bands Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Umphrey’s is known for its brilliant light show through the duration of its shows, making for an impressive live music experience combined with lengthy set lists as well as ravishing guitar and drum solos.

Widespread Panic and Umphrey’s McGee will jam on at Pittsburgh’s Stage AE Sunday, June 21. For more information visit, http:// widespreadpanic.com/. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

BIG LEAGUE DEBUT

ANDREW SPELLMAN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Shortstop Taylor Munden looks up at a ball while he is at bat during a game against Oklahoma in April.

West Virginia’s Munden and Smith go in Major League Draft last week david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft comprises three days, 40 rounds, and over 1,000 players being selected.

By the third day, teams are just searching for diamonds in the rough – players from Puerto Rico, obscure NAIA schools and, this year, two players from Randy Mazey’s West Virginia Mountaineer squad.

Junior relief pitcher Blake Smith became the first Mountaineer taken

early on Day 3, going in the 24th round to the Washington Nationals, while starting shortstop Taylor Munden was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 27th round.

In addition, the Cincinnati Reds drafted Connor Bennett, a righthanded pitcher from Buford, Ga., who has committed to play his college ball at West Virginia, in the 34th round.

Smith, a junior, will have until July 17 to decide whether to sign with Washington or return to West Virginia for his senior season. If Bennett chooses

not to sign, he won’t be able to enter the draft for another three years.

A 6-foot-5 righthander from Tyler, Texas, Smith transferred to West Virginia after two seasons at Howard College. Although head coach Randy Mazey struggled at times to find a consistent formula out of the bullpen, the hardthrowing Smith turned in a strong season as West Virginia’s closer, saving five games with a 3.64 ERA and 38 strikeouts.

“It’s something I have been working towards for a long time now,” Smith said in an interview with

WVUSports.com.

“I don’t think this would have happened if I hadn’t decided to come to WVU and for that I am grateful.”

Me a n w h i l e, Tay l o r Munden’s senior season was nothing short of a stunning success. After spending his freshman year at a military college in Alabama, Munden flashed a great glove but a subpar bat in his first two years with the Mountaineers, hitting .206 in 2013 and .261 with little pop in 2014.

This year, Munden came out of nowhere to lead the Big 12 with 11 home runs,

after hitting just three in his first two seasons combined. Munden also made headlines with the glove, once earning the No. 1 play on SportsCenter with a dazzling no-look flip to second.

“I am so appreciative of this,” Munden said. “I have worked very hard for this my whole life and it is a dream come true. I want to thank my coaches for making the player I am today and I hope I can carry everything over to my pro career.”

Munden earned AllBig 12 Second Team honors this season. The short-

Boykin heads up Big 12 quarterback class connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In a league known for up-tempo offenses and high scoring shootouts, having a true gunslinger at the quarterback position is absolutely necessary to keep up in the Big 12.

While you can get by with a ground and pound philosophy in other conferences, you’re going to need a quarterback whose skill set goes beyond the three-step drop and play action fake in this league.

With a preseason Heisman candidate in Trevone Boykin leading the pack and a slew of young talent throughout the rest of the league, here’s how the Big 12’s top-five quarterbacks stack up heading into the 2015 season.

1. Trevone Boykin – Senior, TCU Just a year removed from being a wide receiver, Boykin got his chance at the quarterback position for TCU under new offensive coordinators Sonny Cumbie and Doug Meachem in 2014. He took the opportunity and ran with it, spearheading one of the best offensive attacks in the country and leading the Horned Frogs to a 12-1 season mark.

With most of his offensive weapons returning this season, Boykin will have room

to grow in his last season in Fort Worth and could lead the way to a College Football Playoff appearance.

2. Seth Russell – Junior, Baylor While he only saw limited action in 2014, Russell impressed with his size, poise and arm strength in the few snaps he did get. The 6-foot3, 220 pound Garland, Texas native threw for 804 yards and eight touchdowns in 2014, and showed good discipline in making his reads, tossing just one interception. Art Briles’ quarterbacks have a reputation for stepping in and stepping up right away, and I expect Russell to do the same thing.

3. Mason Rudolph – Sophomore, Oklahoma State After starting 2014 with a 5-1 record, the Oklahoma State Cowboys’ offense went completely stagnant.

The Pokes put up just 13.6 points per game during a five-game losing streak that dropped their record to 5-6 and put their postseason dreams in jeopardy. Head coach Mike Gundy knew his team had gone stale, and inserted freshman Mason Rudolph as the starter to inject some life into the offense.

Though the Cowboys were blown out by Baylor 49-28 in Rudolph’s first start, he showed signs of turning the ship around, and with his next start, a 38-35 overtime

TCU’s Trevone Boykin hands off a pass to running back Aaron Green in a game against West Virginia last season. win against Oklahoma in the Red Raiders as they did lacked.

last three games of the season, but kept WVU’s offense running at an efficient rate.

His ability to move out of the pocket and get upfield provided an added element to Holgorsen’s offense that Clint Trickett didn’t.

With a full off-season of working with a new crop of talent, Howard should be able to develop a rapport with a young group of receivers before the season gets underway. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia defender Kadeisha Buchanan shoots for a goal in a game against Georgetown last season.

Lawrence scores first career World Cup goal ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University women’s soccer players Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan are currently the only two collegiate athletes on the Canada Women’s National Team roster. While the majority of the roster is made up of professional players, Lawrence and Buchanan are proving they’ve earned their spot on the team despite no professional experience thus far in their ca-

reers. In front of a plethora of 45,420 screaming fans, Lawrence, a rising junior, scored her very first career World Cup goal in the 10th minute of Canada’s matchup with the Netherlands on Monday in Montreal, Quebec. The game ended in a (1-1) draw.

While the crowds and stadiums at the World Cup level are much larger than those at the collegiate level, both Mountaineer standouts have remained composed and poised. With her triumphant goal, Lawrence be-

came the third youngest player to ever score a goal for Canada in the World Cup, right behind Kara Lang and Sophie Schmidt. Lawrence just recently celebrated her 20th birthday.

Both Lawrence and Buchanan have shown immense stamina as they have each played the full 90 minutes in all three of Canada’s matches so far, including a win over China PR (1-0), a (0-0) draw against New Zealand, and most recently the draw against the Netherlands.

Buchanan, a defender, has been a backbone for the Canadian’s defense which has only allowed two goals in three games.

Their stellar defense has been credited with keeping Canada in a position to make a true run for the Cup. “I am so proud and happy to have shared two amazing performances with Ashley (Lawrence) and Kadeisha (Buchanan).

Sharing Ashley’s goal with her and my staff was a really special moment and one I will forever treasure.

Also, to watch Keisha navigate and lead the back line like she always does was priceless,” said West Virginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a press-release. Brown was in attendance along with some of Lawrence and Buchanan’s teammates, as well as other members of the Mountaineer coaching staff.

Canada currently holds the top spot in Group A with a five point total, advancing them to the knockout stage where they will meet a third-place

team, to-be-determined, at 7:30 p.m. on June 21.

The match is to be played at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Both Lawrence and Buchanan received All-Big 12 First Team honors in the last two seasons at West Virginia. After the World Cup wraps up, the pair looks to help kick off the Mountaineers’ 201516 season in a scrimmage against Wright State at 1 p.m. August 9 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Baylor’s former quarterback Bryce Petty throws a pass up during the Bears’ loss to West Virginia in Morgantown last season.

Baylor has sights set on redemption in 2015 connor Murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

For most coaches, losing a quarterback like Bryce Petty could be an insurmountable challenge. Luckily for the Baylor Bears, Art Briles isn’t like most coaches.

Since signing on as the head coach in Waco in 2008, Briles has become known by some as “the quarterback whisperer” and by all as an offensive mastermind.

When Robert Griffin III made his historic run to a Heisman Trophy in 2011, Briles’ transformation of a program that used to be the laughing stock of the Big 12 into a team in the national

spotlight every week was complete.

And that 10-3 2011 season that ended with the aforementioned Heisman Trophy and an Alamo Bowl victory over Washington may not even be Briles’ best accomplishment as Baylor’s head coach.

After Griffin opted to forego his last year of eligibility to put his name in the NFL Draft, where he was picked second by the Washington Redskins, the question of replacing him made many wonder if Briles could keep the positive momentum his program gained that year going.

Nick Florence, who hadn’t seen any significant

work since his freshman year in 2009, stepped in as a senior and threw for 4,309 yards, the most in the NCAA in 2012, and Baylor’s offense kept right on rolling.

Though they finished just 7-5 in the regular season, a Holiday Bowl win over UCLA confirmed the Bears were still headed in the right direction, and that coach Briles’ system works even when it loses a Heisman Trophy winner.

Petty took the keys to the Cadillac after Florence’s graduation, and the Bears continued their climb to contender status.

With one of the most potent offenses in the country, Baylor has registered

back-to-back 11-win seasons, but there is still room for improvement.

Were it not for an October trip to Morgantown that resulted in a 41-27 loss to the Mountaineers, Baylor would have undoubtedly found itself in the College Football Playoff.

Petty has gone to join Geno Smith with the New York Jets, but history tells us the next man up is likely to have just as much, if not more success in Briles’ offense.

Junior Seth Russell, who saww spotty action last season, appears to be the frontrunner to take the starting job in 2015, but the Bears did land the No. 2-ranked quar-

terback in the 2015 recruiting class in Stephenville, Texas native Jarrett Stidham.

Whoever is taking the snaps in 2015 will have a plethora of weapons in his arsenal. Junior running back Shock Linwood, who rushed for 1,252 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014, provides big play ability out of the backfield, while the receiving trio of KD Cannon, Corey Coleman and Jay Lee are sure to be a headache for opposing defensive backs.

Baylor’s defense will be anchored by the hulking frame of defensive lineman Shawn Oakman, who finished second in the Big 12 after tallying 11 sacks in 2014, but the Bears will have to re-

place one of the best defensive players in school history in linebacker Bryce Hager.

A weak non-conference schedule was a hindrance for the Bears in 2014, and that could be a problem again this season as Baylor takes on SMU, Lamar and Rice in the first month of the season.

The Bears will certainly be tested during their Big 12 slate, however, which includes back-to-back road tests against Oklahoma State and TCU in the latter part of November, before they wrap up the regular season at home against the rival Longhorns. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Texas to review all academic support for athletes AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -In the wake of allegations of misconduct within the men’s basketball program, new University of Texas President Greg Fenves has ordered a sweeping review of all academic services in the athletic department.

“Academic integrity is the core of everything we do,” Fenves said Tuesday.

Fenves had been on the job just a few days when the Chronicle of Higher Education last week reported allegations of misconduct involving three former men’s basketball players dating back to 2006.

The school immediately hired an outside investiga-

tor to probe the allegations, which Fenves said could take a “couple of months.”

He said nothing has been discovered in the first few days of that investigation that he would consider a major concern.

Fenves was the school provost and oversaw admissions before he was promoted to president.

Fenves said he had already wanted a broad review of academic support services and the Chronicle of Higher Education report “brought it front and center.”

“I take these allegations very seriously,” Fenves said.

The basketball investigation and the broader review will be led by Gene Marsh, a former chairman of the NCAA infractions committee. Having Marsh do both seemed logical to make a seamless process, Fenves said.

The scope and length of the broader review are still being determined, but it will include athletic admissions, academic counseling and selection of major courses of study, Fenves said. It will also review specific students, transcripts and course work, and will include a public report.

“I’m very proud of the academic success our stu-

dents have had,” Fenves said. “This is just a thorough review to make sure we are doing everything we can to support the academic integrity of the program.”

Fenves defended Texas as a model program for other universities. Athletic director Steve Patterson said more than half of Texas’ approximately 500 athletes have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher and about 150 are at 3.5.

“All indications are everything is fine,” Fenves said.

In the report by the Chronicle of Higher Education, a former aca-

demic counselor said a math instructor told him she saw former basketball player Martez Walker cheating on an exam, and that Walker was allowed to pass anyway. Walker has since transferred. The counselor also said he believed former Longhorn P.J. Tucker received impermissible help with a paper while preparing for the NBA draft, and a former academic mentor said he helped write papers for former player J’Covan Brown.

That time span covers part of the tenure of former coach Rick Barnes, who was fired in March after 17 seasons. Barnes was

then hired at Tennessee.

Patterson said Barnes’ departure had “nothing to do with any academic issues.”

The basketball investigation and the broader review will be led by Gene Marsh, a former chairman of the NCAA infractions committee. Having Marsh, who will bill the school for hourly expenses, do both seemed logical to make a seamless process, Fenves said.

Fenves said he’s unsure if Marsh will try to speak with Barnes. The NCAA will have no role in the department review but will be kept informed, Fenves said.

Cardinals under investigation for hacking Astros

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Federal law enforcement authorities are investigating whether the St. Louis Car-

ficials and the two teams son familiar with the situ- jor League Baseball.

The person spoke on con- were not disclosing details ation said Tuesday in an unusual case involving two dition of anonymity because of the investigation. former division rivals in Ma- MLB, law enforcement ofThe New York Times first reported that the FBI and Justice Department were investigating whether Cardinals’ front-office officials were behind the effort to steal information from the Astros’ database, called Ground Control.

“Major League Baseball has been aware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegal breach of the Houston Astros’ baseball operations database,” MLB said in a statement. “Once the investigative process has been completed by federal law enforcement officials, we will evaluate the next steps and will make decisions promptly.”

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said subpoenas have been issued, though he did not provide details.

“There are legal problems associated with federal law enforcement officials seeking cooperation from private individuals,” Manfred said. “If the federal government wants information from us they would subpoena information and that’s what they’ve done.”

Messages seeking comment from FBI offices in Washington, Houston and St. Louis were not returned. The U.S. attorney in St. Louis, Richard Callahan, said he was unaware of the investigation.

The Cardinals are among baseball’s most successful franchises on and off the field. Only the New York Yankees have won more World Series titles than the 11 won by St. Louis, which is among the best-drawing teams in all of sports, with annual attendance topping 3 million every year since 2003.

The Astros and Cardinals were rivals in the National League Central until Houston moved to the American League in 2012. The Astros hired former Cardinals scouting and player development executive Jeff Luhnow as general manager in December 2011, and he has helped lead turn the team from a laughingstock into a contender.

The Astros finished 70-92 and fourth in the AL West a year ago, ending a woeful streak of three straight 100loss seasons. They are currently in first place in the AL West.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many Cardinals employees were under investigation, or whether top front office officials were possibly aware of the activities.

He said he couldn’t recall a similar case in baseball’s long history.

“Until we know, this is different than when we might investigate a drug case (or) we have access to all the facts in a real-time situation,” he said. “That’s just not the case here. We don’t exactly know what the facts are.”

MLB’s forensics experts were not involved in the case, Manfred added.

concern to us.”

The Cardinals and Astros said they were cooperating with the investigation but declined further comment.

Astros manager A.J. Hinch said his team would focus on baseball.

“Obviously from the baseball perspective we’ll deal with the baseball and all other questions will go elsewhere,” Hinch said.

His counterpart in St. Louis, Mike Matheny, sounded a similar tone and said the case at this point wouldn’t be a distraction for his first-place Cardinals, who have the best record in baseball. He said he’d been unaware of the investigation until he “got pulled out of the weight room” Tuesday morning.

“We have opportunities for distraction every day” he said. “It’s part of what we do, it’s a big part of what we do. We divide them into the controllables and the uncontrollables and this is one of the uncontrollables. We don’t have any clue what’s going on.”

Luhnow was not made available to reporters in Houston on Tuesday, but said in June 2014 that the team had been the victim of hackers who accessed servers and published months of internal trade talks on the Internet.

“It was an illegal activity and we’re going to pursue it and try and find out who did it and prosecute,” Luhnow said at the time, noting that the Astros were working with the FBI and MLB security to determine who was responsible for the breach.

The Astros rely heavily on sabermetrics in their evaluation of players and have been open about the fact that they use an online database to house their proprietary information. Last year, the Houston Chronicle had a detailed report on Ground Control, noting the team even had a director of decision sciences and that everything from statistics to contract information to scouting reports were stored at a web address protected by a password.

“One of the things I have been talking to my counterparts about with other clubs is recommending that everybody take a look at their own security systems and make sure they don’t get hacked the way that we were,” Luhnow said last year after the hack became public knowledge.

Manfred downplayed wider security concerns about MLB’s digital systems.

“We have a technology company that quite literally is the envy of companies throughout America not just sports enterprises,” the commissioner said.

“We routinely make the resources of MLB Advanced Media available to all of the clubs. We have the type of security arrangements that are necessary.”

Craig Newman, chairman of the privacy and data security practice of the New York law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, said it wouldn’t be surprising that a team would be involved in hacking given the amount of money in professional sports.

“Data analytics have become a critical strategic and tactical drive for both professional and collegiate athletics and, unfortunately, the transition from statistical modeling in player evaluation made famous by `Moneyball’ to stealing sensitive information from competitors is a natural progression,” Newman said
