Millennials more Students have difficult time finding educated, connected parking spaces at Recreation Center than ever before by emily leslie

by john mark shaver correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Millennials, or those born between 1980 and 2000, are the most educated, connected and hopeless generation in history, according to a recent study by Elite Daily.

The study, titled the 2015 Millennial Consumer Trends Study, successfully surveyed over 1,100 adults between the ages of 18 and 35 on various topics, such as financial stability, social issues and trust in the media.

Over 50 percent of the Millennials surveyed have a four-year bachelor’s degree, an impressive number when one considers many of them have not had a chance to graduate yet.

Couple this with the fact that less than 5 percent of Millennials haven’t received high school diplomas, and it’s not hard to see why Millennials have quickly become the most educated generation in American history.

Dana Coester, an assistant professor at West Virginia University, attributed this rise in education to the increased amount of educational resources available to students.

However, not all is hunky-dory for Millennials.

Many members of the generation, such as senior marketing student Adam Kortz, feel as though a bachelor’s degree is not enough to secure a wellpaying job. Kortz said he

thought the sheer number of bachelor’s degrees dilutes their importance.

“I think you need more than a bachelor’s degree to succeed,” Kortz said. “You need trade skills and an even higher education. In a way, the master’s program is the bachelor’s program of today.”

According to Elite Daily, Millennials are stunted by a combination of the 2008 financial crisis, the most recent recession and the ever-growing amount of college tuition and student loans.

Tuition alone has more than quintupled over the past 30 years, and student loan debt is more than $1 trillion.

Around 60 percent of Millennials said they cannot realistically afford a house, the first generation in history to say so. Now, one could pass this off since many Millennials are young and still in school, but keep in mind more than half of those surveyed already have a degree.

Instead of owning their own homes, an overwhelming 96 percent of Millennials pay rent, reportedly spending around 50 percent of their income on it. While some Millennials are optimistic about their future, the statistics make many nervous about entering the job market.

“I have a few leads back home that have no problem helping me get a job,” Kortz said. “But if I didn’t

Finding a parking space at the West Virginia University Student Rec Center is a rarity these days, leaving both students and the Rec Center in a bad position for the remainder of this semester.

This is the busiest time for the SRC, as students make New Years resolutions and scramble to get in shape for spring break. Combined with all the construction that limits parking spaces and the constantly broken ticket machine, parking has been especially hectic this semester. What’s worse is that there are students who abuse the system.

Dana Snyder, a sophomore nursing student, explained her frustration with people who park in the Rec Center parking lot to walk to classes on Evansdale.

“It’s really aggravating because I want to live a healthy lifestyle, but I can’t because there are people that are too lazy to walk or ride the PRT to class,” Snyder said.

Tom Pinto, the assistant director of the Rec Center, commented on the problem with students parking at the Rec Center to go to class, saying it has always been an issue. With the new College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences across from the Rec Center, the issue has grown.

“With all of the students that are now much closer to here and with the system not working well, the lot is being abused by students going to class when

The parking lot at the Student Recreation Center is nearly full on Monday. it is supposed to only be for Rec Center users. Even back in the fall when the ticket dispenser was working pretty well – it was an issue,” Pinto said. “People were getting two-hour tickets and unless parking had multiple people out there, they were getting away with it. Parking said they would watch people take a ticket, go park, then walk through the building – walking in one door and walking out the other side to go straight to class.”

The problem, as Snyder points out, is that students and faculty pay a fee to be able to use the Rec Center and parking should not be such a hassle.

“Usually there are too many people there and I have to turn right back around and go home to do Insanity in my living room, which isn’t what I want to do because money from my tuition goes to being able to use the Rec Center. It’s not

fair,” Snyder said.

The parking situation has not only been frustrating for students and faculty; it’s also been bad for business at the Rec Center.

“We get complaints daily from faculty and staff who buy memberships and from students. We have lost a larger number of faculty and staff members than we would like because of the parking issue,” Pinto said. “Students pay a membership fee as part of tuition, but faculty members have the option to buy a membership and they’ve been taking their business elsewhere.”

Pinto provided what the plan is to alleviate the hectic parking situation for next semester and was also able to offer advice for people currently struggling with the problem.

“They are coming up with a method, which will be some kind of validation system to prevent (this prob-

lem). This will mean a little more work for us, but if it protects the parking for the people using the building, then that’s what we will do,” Pinto said. “The problem is not going to go away before school ends, so I would suggest students take the PRT if they live close to one of the stations. For people coming after four o’clock, (you can) park in the CPASS parking lot.”

While students and faculty are encouraged to wait it out, Pinto suggests the situation will get better soon.

“I imagine the parking situation won’t be so bad after spring break because when the weather is nicer, more people will exercise outside. We’re hopeful that (construction) stays on schedule and that by the time classes start next fall, the parking changes that are being discussed will be finished,” Pinto said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Greece seeking joint Merkel-Hollande talks on bailout ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece has called for joint talks with leaders of Germany, France and the European Union executive to try and resolve the crisis surrounding the country’s bailout negotiations.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras proposed meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi and EU Commission President JeanClaude Juncker, a senior Greek government official told The Associated Press Tuesday.

The talks would be held in Brussels on Thursday ahead of an EU leaders’ meeting, said the official, who spoke

only on condition of anonymity pending official announcements.

There was no immediate response to the Greek request.

“I have now no confirmation of any particular meeting arrangements,” EU Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said.

“This is now the moment for technical discussions between the experts including Greece, and we need swift progress on implementing the Greek reform commitments.”

European creditor states are in talks with Greece on a list of reforms it should present by the end of April in order to receive the next batch of rescue loans. The

talks, however, are not progressing quickly and Greece faces a cash crunch in coming weeks.

In Paris, a government official who also asked not to be identified said the French government was waiting to hear from bailout inspectors currently in Athens.

“Depending on their results, we’ll need to see if financing solutions are necessary sooner than at the end of April,” the official said.

Late Tuesday, Greek officials said they were determined to go ahead with a key piece of draft legislation, despite opposition from the country’s creditors who — the officials said — wanted to vet the proposed law before it was presented

in parliament.

Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis said there had been “objections and baseless complaints” over the draft law, which meets a core pledge by the radical left-led government to address what it calls Greece’s “humanitarian crisis” by providing free power and food coupons to the country’s poorest.

One senior government official invited opposition parties to “resist the blackmail” and back the proposed legislation during a vote in parliament scheduled for Wednesday.

“If in Europe in 2015 addressing the humanitarian crisis is considered a unilateral action, then what is left of European values?”

the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the press.

Tsipras, who was elected on Jan. 25, is due to meet Merkel in Berlin on Monday and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on April 8. On Tuesday, he met in Athens with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.

The prospect of a Brussels meeting saw Greek borrowing rates ease and shares on the Athens Stock exchange rebound from losses a day earlier, closing up nearly 1 percent.

Attention, however, also turned to Tsipras’ outspoken finance minister, Yanis

Varoufakis, who was quizzed on German television over the weekend on a speech he gave two years ago. An online video of his appearance showed Varoufakis making a rude gesture when referring to Germany, a lead creditor.

Varoufakis said that the version shown on the program had been doctored and later tweeted a video of the full version of his speech — also showing him raising his middle finger while saying: “My proposal was that Greece should simply announce that it is defaulting — just like Argentina did — within the euro, in January 2010, and stick the finger to Germany and say: Well now you can solve this problem by yourself.”

Iranians express optimism over nuclear agreement

In this Jan. 16, 2015, file photo, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley speaks with reporters during a roundtable interview at the Maryland State House in Annapolis, Md. Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to catch heat for her extensive use of a private email account to conduct official business while she was secretary of state. O’Malley used private emails and his personal cellphone to conduct state business. But his administration also turned over related documents as part of public records requests, sometimes leading to criticism.

State: No record of Clinton signing separation statement WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department said Tuesday it had no record showing that Hillary Rodham Clinton signed any official statement attesting that she had turned over all unclassified documents related to official business when she left her post as secretary of state in 2013.

Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that Clinton’s two immediate predecessors, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, had not signed such a statement either.

Psaki said there was no sign of such a statement in department files.

“We’re fairly certain she didn’t sign one,” Psaki told reporters. Psaki said that even though it was “not clear” that such statements were used throughout the federal government or even inside the State Department, she said that department officials were still trying to assess whether Clinton and former secretaries of State should have signed the documents.

The State Department requires employees leaving the diplomatic service

to fill out an official statement — known as form OF-109 — acknowledging that they have turned over all classified and unclassified records of government business to “responsible officials.” But Psaki said that different bureaus within the department had varying rules relating to such statements, effectively making it optional for some employees to fill them out and turn them in. She could not identify the bureaus in which employees had such a choice.

Questions about whether Clinton signed such a document have swirled since the revelation of her use of a personal email account for government-related work.

Republicans and other critics have said that the State Department, along with other federal agencies, generally requires outgoing employees to turn over job-related materials before leaving — and that Clinton also should have met that standard. Federal policy generally requires employees to sign such separation statements declaring they have turned over all doc-

uments relating to official business during their employment. Providing incorrect information on the form can be grounds for prosecution.

The office of House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, said in a statement on Tuesday that it would be “a big problem if she signed that form like she was supposed to.” Others have said it would be equally troubling if Clinton did not sign the form because that would have meant she would was holding herself to a different standard than other employees.

Psaki said that Clinton’s failure to sign such a statement was “not a violation of any rule” and did not risk any department punishments. She noted that “there are differences between regulations and recommendations,” and added that “we’re not aware of any penalty for not signing it.”

The OF-109 form lists several U.S. Criminal Code violations involving classified materials and government records but does not cite a warning for failing to sign the statement.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, right, walks around the grounds of the Beau-Rivage hotel during a break in negotiations with Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif over Iran’s nuclear program in Lausanne, Switzerland, Tuesday. Top U.S. and Iranian diplomats returned to talks on Tuesday, trying to resolve differences blocking a deal that would curtail Iran’s nuclear proLAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — A senior Iranian official suggested Tuesday that Iran is nearing a preliminary deal with the U.S and five world powers that would lead to a breakthrough eluding them for more than a decade — a formal pact limiting Tehran’s ability to make an atomic weapon while easing punitive economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

The United States was less upbeat, with officials saying the sides had made progress but still had a ways to go in eliminating differences over what Iran had to do for a gradual end to sanctions.

“There’s no doubt they have made substantial progress over the past year,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. “Reaching an agreement is at best 50-50.”

The sides face two deadlines: an end-of-March date for a preliminary deal, and a June deadline for a comprehensive agreement that fills in the blanks.

A comprehensive agreement that the U.S. says would stretch the time Iran would need to make a bomb from a few months to a year has been a top foreign policy objective of the Obama administration. Even a deal by deadline will not end the Iran nuclear controversy, however.

Congressional Republicans have threatened to upend it, claiming it is ineffective, and it is expected to further cloud relations between the United States and Israel if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu forms the next government, either through elections on Tuesday or as the head of a new ruling coalition.

Officials for both sides have said that the talks are making headway on limit-

ing Iranian nuclear activities that could be retooled to make weapons. In exchange, the West would progressively lift economic and political sanctions.

Still, the comments by Iranian nuclear chief Ali Akhbar Salehi were among the most promising to date.

Only one “final item” remained contentious, he told reporters in the garden of the luxury hotel in Lausanne where the talks are being held. He didn’t specify the “final item.”

If that is resolved, “we can say that on technical issues, things are clear on both sides,” he told reporters adding: “As a whole, I am optimistic.”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif have taken the lead in what formally remain talks between Iran on one side and the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany on the other.

Most of the disputes focus on technical issues like the numbers of centrifuges Iran would be allowed to operate as part of an agreement. The machines can enrich uranium up to levels used for the fissile core of erational first.

Kortz said he relies heavily on a mixture of wordof-mouth and his own independent studies when making a purchase, and puts little stock in what he sees and reads in traditional media.

When consuming news, the study reported Millennials value authenticity over content, a trait made easier to measure thanks to the advent of the internet. “[Millennials] are very, very savvy consumers not just of marketing messages, but of information,” Coester said. “We talk about how we want young people to be critical thinkers, and this is an example of that.”

But even if the finalstretch talks turn into a deal, outside interference could hurt chances of its implementation.

Testimony on relationship of girl, grandma in case GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — Jurors received differing pictures of the relationship between an Alabama woman and the granddaughter she is accused of running to death, with a principal testifying Tuesday that she saw no problems and a doctor saying she was worried about odd family dynamics.

The contrasting testimony came as the defense also tried to raise new doubts about the victim’s autopsy.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Joyce Hardin Garrard, 49.

She is accused of making 9-year-old granddaughter Savannah Hardin run for hours as punishment for a lie about candy on Feb. 17, 2012.

The girl collapsed and died days later, and neighbors testified earlier that they saw the woman forcing the girl to run even after she vomited and begged to stop.

Garrard, of Boaz, says she is innocent, and two defense witnesses who passed the property that day have testified that they only saw Garrard and the child picking up sticks, not any running.

Longtime elementary school principal Donna Joy Bone Johnson testified that she didn’t see any cause for concern in the relationship between Garrard and the girl, who attended her school. Johnson portrayed Garrard as the primary caregiver for the girl, the daughter of Garrard’s son Robert Hardin, who was overseas at the time.

Savannah was “a competitor” who wanted to do well in school and athletics, Johnson said, and Garrard often came to school to talk with her about Savannah’s behavior or seek advice.

“I’ve been doing this a long time. There were no red flags,” said Johnson, the sister of Garrard’s lead attor-

ney, Dani Bone.

The child’s pediatrician testified that she worried about the relationship between Garrard, the child, and stepmother Jessica Mae Hardin, who also is charged in the girl’s death.

Dr. Deborah Smith said the relationship among the three “was not a normal dynamic” and that she had considered contacting authorities but didn’t. Smith didn’t explain exactly what she considered to be odd, and a prosecutor didn’t press her.

Earlier prosecution witnesses testified that Garrard was in the yard with the child for hours making her run and pick up sticks and firewood while Hardin sat on the porch with a laptop computer.

Garrard is charged with capital murder while Hardin faces the lesser charge of murder for allegedly failing to intervene and help the child.

The defense has tried to show that the child’s autopsy was flawed and doesn’t match the allegations from Garrard’s indictment. Defense lawyers called a former forensics worker to try to bolster those claims.

Chris Crow, who helped Dr. Emily Ward with the post-mortem investigation, testified that a report indicated Ward didn’t have the girl’s medical records before conducting the autopsy. The final autopsy report wasn’t completed until weeks after Garrard already had been indicted, he said.

Crow said the autopsy took Ward only an hour, which he described as “pretty quick” for such an examination.

But Crow testified under cross-examination that Ward was more experienced than other pathologists in her office, possibly accounting for her speed.

Friend says he gave Boston GOP says Obama aides Marathon bomber a handgun meddled in ‘net neutrality’

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev borrowed a gun two months before the 2013 attack and “kept coming up with excuses” for not returning it, a close friend testified Tuesday.

Prosecutors have identified the Ruger handgun as the gun used by Tsarnaev and his brother to kill a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer as they attempted to flee the area three days after the bombings.

Stephen (STEF’-ihn) Silva testified that several weeks after he first showed Tsarnaev the gun, Tsarnaev asked if could “potentially borrow” it.

“He said he wanted to rip (rob) some kids from URI,” Silva said, apparently a reference to the University of Rhode Island.

Silva said that after a few weeks, he asked Tsarnaev for the gun back, but Tsarnaev repeatedly made up excuses for why he didn’t return the gun.

The bombing killed three people and injured more than 260 others. Testimony in the case began March 4. Tsarnaev, 21, faces the possibility of the death penalty if convicted.

Silva, who was charged last year with possession of a gun with an obliterated serial number and drug charges, said Tuesday he was testifying against Tsarnaev as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. He acknowledged that he is hoping prosecutors will recommend a sentence below five years.

Silva appeared uncomfortable, sighing at times as he testified against the man he described as a close friend he had known since the eighth grade.

Tsarnaev, seated at a table with his attorneys about 12 feet away from Silva, gave him several long looks during his testimony.

During opening statements in the trial, Tsarnaev’s lawyer admitted that he participated in the bombings, but said his older brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind and recruited him to help. His lawyer said it was Tamer-

lan who used the gun to shoot MIT police Officer Sean Collier.

But prosecutors, through Silva’s testimony, established that Tsarnaev is the one who obtained the gun used in Collier’s killing.

During cross-examination, Tsarnaev’s lawyer suggested again that Tamerlan was a domineering older brother and had a powerful influence over Dzhokhar. Attorney Miriam Conrad asked Silva if he knew why Dzhokhar had never introduced him to his brother.

“Did he tell you ‘You don’t want to meet my brother,’” Silva said.

“Yes,” replied Silva.

“He said his brother was very strict ... very opinionated, and that since I wasn’t a Muslim, you know, he might give me a little (expletive) for that.”

Prosecutors say the Tsarnaevs committed the bombings to retaliate against the U.S. for wars in Muslim countries.

Silva recalled a discussion about American foreign policy during a high school class he had with Dzhokhar. Silva said Dzhokhar said U.S. foreign policy “tends sometimes to be a little hostile toward the Middle East,” persecutes Muslims and tries to “take over people’s culture.”

Under questioning from Tsarnaev’s lawyer, Silva said he didn’t recall Tsarnaev ever making strong anti-American statements and had posted on Twitter in November 2012 that he was celebrating the re-election of President Barack Obama.

The Ruger handgun was also used during a carjacking shortly after Collier’s killing and during a shootout with police in Watertown. A Watertown police officer testified Monday that Tamerlan Tsarnaev threw the gun at him when he ran out of bullets.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev died following the shootout and an escape by Dzhokhar, who ran him over as three police officers were trying to handcuff him on the

ground.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found hours later, hiding in boat parked in a Watertown backyard. On Tuesday, boat owner David Henneberry described how he discovered a wounded and bloodied Tsarnaev.

On April 19, 2013, Henneberry said, he received a call asking all Watertown residents to “shelter in place” while police were conducting a door-to-door manhunt for Tsarnaev.

He said after the restriction was lifted about 6 p.m., he looked outside and noticed that the shrink wrap on his boat looked a little bit loose. Henneberry said he put a ladder up against the boat, and when he looked inside, he noticed blood.

“I just kept fixating on this blood ... my eyes looked on the other side of the boat and that’s when I saw a body on the boat,” Henneberry said. It was Tsarnaev, lying on his side.

The jury was shown more photographs of the inside of the boat, including a note Tsarnaev wrote in pencil on the interior walls. In the note, which prosecutors have characterized as a confession to the bombings, Tsarnaev denounced the U.S. for wars in Muslim countries.

“The US Government is killing our innocent civilians but most of you already know that,” the note said.

“I can’t stand to see such evil go unpunished, we Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all.”

Prosecutors also s h ow e d ju ro r s t w o wooden slats where Tsarnaev carved the remainder of his note: “Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop.”

Testimony is scheduled to resume Wednesday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans on Tuesday accused the Federal Communications Commission of bowing to White House pressure on its “net neutrality” decision, which has angered the nation’s cable and wireless giants. They said the agency’s inspector general has opened an investigation into whether the FCC had violated any rules.

Samples of 1,600 pages of emails and other documents released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee — while falling short of any blatant impropriety — raise questions about whether senior Obama aides went to unusual lengths to engage independent regulators on a popular issue, and if the FCC gave these aides too much access to internal deliberations while shutting out Congress.

“A president should be able to weigh in, make his opinions known. I don’t have a problem with that.

But this seems to be very one-sided,” said Rep. Ja-

son Chaffetz, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Still, the political sparring on Capitol Hill was unlikely to affect the recent decision by the FCC to impose tough new regulations on Internet service providers.

Chaffetz said he had been told that the FCC Inspector General’s office launched an investigation into the agency’s deliberations process on its net neutrality decision. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said he was not aware of any investigation, but said he would cooperate.

Jay Keithley, assistant IG for investigations at the FCC, said he could neither “confirm nor deny” any ongoing investigations.

An openly defiant Wheeler told the House committee that keeping the White House up to date on FCC dealings isn’t unusual and that he won’t apologize for what he considers a transparent deliberations process.

“There were no secret instructions from the

White House,” Wheeler told the committee. “I did not, as CEO of an independent agency, feel obligated to follow the president’s recommendation.”

Much of the focus was on behind-the-scenes talks last year among lobbyists, agency staffers and White House aides as Wheeler struggled with how exactly to regulate Internet service. A court had knocked down the FCC’s previous legal approach, which had prohibited cable and wireless companies from blocking or slowing Internet traffic.

The idea is known as net neutrality because it suggests Internet service providers shouldn’t discriminate against various web traffic.

On one hand were Internet activists who wanted regulators to treat the Internet much like the telephone, applying Title II of the 1934 Communications Act. This would require that companies act in the public’s best interest and not employ unfair business practices.

De-stressing over spring break Now that we are midway through week 10 of classes for this spring semester, spring break is anxiously anticipated and within sight.

As a West Virginia University student, you may have received an email encouraging responsible, safe behavior from the Mountaineer Mascot or maybe you read the advice given by the chief of the University Police Department for a fun and safe spring break in Tuesday’s edition of The Daily Athenaeum. Even President E. Gordon Gee has addressed the student body in a letter concerning the weeklong vacation on this very page.

Although the option has been mentioned, there is little discussion for students who are choosing to either simply stay in Morgantown or spend a week in their hometown. While these options are (likely) not as exotic or as exciting as the

chance to travel to Mexico or Panama City, there are still plenty of options for relaxing and focusing on your mental health.

Available on its website, WELLWVU: The Students’ Center of Health has many resources for managing stress including breath mediation, stress management and muscle relaxation. The website cites a poll which reports 85 percent of college students feel stressed on a daily basis. It is impossible to expect these stressful feelings to just go away because we are given a temporary reprieve from classes.

If you feel you are in need of help due to anxiety or other stress-related issues, there are resources available to you on campus. You can visit the Carruth Center in the new CPASS building on the Evansdale campus.

It offers up to 12 free individual counseling sessions (you may schedule addition sessions at a rate of $15 a

session) for 45-50 minutes.

To schedule an appointment call 304-293-4431.

Self-care and mental health should be a constant concern for students. However, when opportunities such as spring break present themselves and give us a chance to spend time reflecting on the good things, we should take them.

Relax with family or friends or spend some time enjoying the nice weather outside. It may even be a good idea to set aside some time each day to complete a little bit of school work, so that when you do return to campus, you may feel less stress and pressure to get everything done.

Just because you may not be taking a trip or going abroad next week, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t spend some time enjoying your surroundings and reflecting on your mental health. forwallpaper.com

Having faith in the next generation of Mountaineers emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

As previously reported

by The Daily Athenaeum and other news outlets, House Bill 2881 was introduced to West Virginia State Legislature on Feb. 23.

Misleadingly named the Intrastate Commerce Improvement Act, the bill was introduced as intending to “ensure that businesses, organizations and employers in West Virginia are subject to uniform nondiscrimination laws and obligations.”

While vaguely and positively described, HB 2881 was actually cleverly devised to end all local and municipal ordinances in West Virginia protecting LGBT persons from discrimination in the workplace. It would effectively invalidate institutional policies, such as those held by West Virginia University, that protect people from being fired from their jobs simply for being gay.

On Feb. 25, an article written by WVU instructor Daniel Brewster for The Huffington Post went viral on the Internet. Entitled, “Eventually I Will Stop Trying to Convince People That They Should Want to Stay in West Virginia,” it received a great deal of attention on social media. Dozens of friends and family shared the article, affirming the growing hopeless-

Student body presidents of W.Va. universities discuss budget cuts to higher education in letter to governor Student Gov. representatives WVU, Shepherd University, Fairmont State university

Student body presidents at four-year colleges and universities around West Virginia have joined together to oppose state budget cuts to Higher Education.

Over the past two years, the State has cut over $40 million to state colleges and universities, and these students have teamed together to support reinvestment in Higher Education.

The group, spearheaded

by WVU Student Body President Christopher Nyden, sent a letter to Governor Tomblin and each legislator March 14, to urge the state to not cut higher education any further. They argue that state budget cuts “have shifted the cost of degrees onto students and West Virginia families in the form of higher tuition and fees.”

Further, the letter argues that two-year colleges have been hit even harder by budget cuts, as many commu-

DA

nity and technical colleges have had to substantially increase tuition. This letter was sent over the weekend and Monday, March 16, as the West Virginia Legislature considers the budget bill.

Statement from Chris Nyden, WVU Student Body President: “There’s a lot of talk in Charleston about being pro-business and supporting jobs. If one is truly probusiness, he or she understands that in order to get a return on your investment, you have to actually invest.

If you want a diversified, 21st century economy, you invest in higher education.

We have been told for several years that higher education will be cut, but the budget situation looks brighter in future years. The actual results have been overly optimistic predictions and increased budget cuts. If this is not a rainy day for the state, I don’t know what is. Let’s maintain our support of affordable education in West Virginia and stop biting off our nose to spite our face.”

Statement from Shepherd University Student Government Association: “On behalf of Shepherd students and students throughout West Virginia, the Shepherd University Student Government Association stands in firm opposition to our state’s continued funding cuts of higher education. Shepherd students and faculty have felt every dollar of these cuts.

Tuition has increased, while our educational opportunities have been limited as a result of West Virginia’s persistent cuts to higher education. West Virginia has isolated itself with these continued cuts, being only one of eight states to further cut higher education funding in FY2014. The effects of this isolation are especially felt at Shepherd, given our close proximity to three other states. By continuing cuts to higher education, West Virginia is depriving our next generation of the tools necessary to lead this state toward a bright future. The Shepherd Univer-

sity Student Government Association hopes that our elected leaders will respond to these calls for an immediate end to higher education funding cuts.“ Statement from R. Mitch Moore, Fairmont State University Student Body President: “No better an investment can be made than that of the education of a young adult.

By cutting state funds for institutions of higher education in West Virginia, our lawmakers are effectively ruining the future of this great state. West Virginia needs to retain its bright minds and quick thinkers, not export them to the rest of the country. Though this is a discussion that also concerns jobs, growth, and resources, it roots in the ideas of educating the students of West Virginia. I, as a student leader and lifelong West Virginian, urge our state government officials to cut their budget elsewhere, and make an investment in something they can count on for positive returns.”

older adults in my life is much more difficult than telling people my own age.

Those in power right now, those people making the laws in our state and country, are mostly at an age where their views were shaped by negative stereotypes and outdated ideals.

Because of this, bills such as HB2881 are still being introduced in 2015.

The fact of the matter is, while 44 percent of all Americans support same sex marriage, the number of youth in favor has never been higher. According to the latest polls, a record 70

percent of young people (those ages 18-32) are supportive of equal marriage rights for LGBT Americans.

By the numbers, as well as in my own experience, acceptance and support for members of the LGBT community is truly a generational ideal.

As much as it bothers me to know my current representatives may not fully support my right to love the person of my choosing, I will never give up on West Virginia. I believe in the future of my state because I believe in my generation of Mountaineers. I have seen their kindness, compassion and unquestioning acceptance firsthand. I have witnessed their willingness to fight for what they believe in, and their desire to do things differently than the generations which have come before us.

I believe the minority who would discriminate against me on the basis of my sexuality are becoming as obsolete as their archaic and exclusionary viewpoints.

I believe that we, West Virginia’s youth, are the decision makers of the future and we will make the right decisions.

I believe our presence in West Virginia is crucial to making it better, and for this reason, I will never stop trying to convince people they should want to stay. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

letter to the editor

President Gee addresses student body, encourages smart, safe behavior on spring break e. gordon gee WVU president @gordongee

Dear Students: It is almost time to melt those winter blues away.

Next week, there will be no classes. No exams. No final papers.

You do not even need to get out of your pajamas – although some of you consider your jammies an acceptable form of classroom attire.

Spring break is upon us.

I encourage you to treat it as a reward. You deserve a fun, relaxing escape from the daily grind. But, of course, here comes the serious part to my message: We need your smiling faces back on campus happy and healthy.

No matter how you spend next week – whether it be faraway in a sunny paradise with friends, at home with family, studying abroad with classmates or volunteering your time and talents to a worthy cause – remember to use sound judgment and

common sense.

Even when you venture outside of Morgantown, you are forever a Mountaineer.

Demonstrate through your actions the proud, passionate and caring people that we are.

Do not overindulge. Do not endanger yourself or others. And if you are about to engage in something that seems like a dumb idea, it probably is. I want you to come back from spring break refreshed and ready to finish the academic year strong.

And, one final reminder – if you are pale like me, be sure to stock up on the sunscreen.

123 Pleasant Street

Concerts to attend during spring break ALLY LITTEN A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Local band All Else Fails plays music outside last year.

Audio Gumbo brings together varied sounds

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Audio Gumbo welcomes new bands to the Morgantown scene at 123 Pleasant Street tonight.

Audio Gumbo is the name of the musical event featuring a variety of genres.

Performing bands and artists for the event include All Else Fails, Quie, Chris Allen, Tyler Grady, Woody Pond and F Your Birthday.

Eric Jordan, owner and creator of Soundvision Recordingz, organized the event. Jordan was raised in the heart of Morgantown and is also the program coordinator for The Center for Black Culture & Research at West Virginia University.

“Personally, I listen to everything. I have a very diverse love of music, and this event reflects my musical taste buds,” Jordan said. “A lot of the bands for this event are new bands, and I thought it

would be a good way to bring each other exposure by playing with other local bands with different genres.”

By being a promoter for 123 Pleasant Street and a blogger for the “I Love Morgantown West Virginia” website, Jordan deals with local bands often as he covers the local music scene. Jordan came across the acts selected for the concert while attending other shows in which they performed.

“Audience members should expect a rollercoaster ride of energy.

All bands are pretty energetic. Quie is a little more laidback with the hip hop jazz, but still they have good dance tunes. Also, all the bands have great stage presence and showmanship,” Jordan said.

Rock, hip-hop and jazz are three of the main music genres to be performed at the concert. The talented musicians will perform their own songs, and take new twists on classic

music genres fans adore.

“The atmosphere of the show will be very familyoriented, because it’s a local musician movement, a lot of networking, and friends who enjoy playing live music. All these bands have energy-filled performances so I expect a lot of sweating and dancing,” Jordan said.

All Else Fails is one of the bands performing Wednesday night. All Else Fails is a locally formed band consisting of four friends who played for the University High School Drumline in April 2014.

The band only has two of the four original members, and now consists of members Alex Lojewski, Alex Sherlock and Jacob Wallace.

The band’s music falls under the alternative rock genre. Since the band’s formation, it has performed at 123 numerous times, have played countless open mic nights and other venues around the area.

“We love the venue.

It’s a great place to make new friends, hear amazing live entertainment, and it’s one of the select places in town to go and do what we love with the people we love,” Lojewski said. “We just hope to see more and more people come out every show.”

This Wednesday, the band will be releasing a CD with a total of four songs, two of which have not been released.

Those songs are “Empty”, “Haunt Me,” “Umbrella” and “Where’d You Go.” The band will perform these songs at the show, as well as other songs fans haven’t heard before.

“The audience should be expecting a new sound in music, a phenomenal performance from our members and a free CD,” Lojewski said.

The show begins at 10 p.m., and tickets will be sold for $5 at the door. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘Sons’ screenwriter releases new show CHELSEA WALKER A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Kurt Sutter is taking his insane screenwriting from biker badass to medieval mayhem. The “Sons of Anarchy” creator and actor recently released details surrounding his new show “The Bastard Executioner.”

Sutter, known for his twisted plots involving sex, violence, drugs, alcohol and everything in between is now plotting his next move. Taking place in the 14th century, “The Bastard Executioner” will most likely follow the writer’s general aesthetic. The show is said to revolve around the drama surrounding a knight under King Edward III’s rule. The knight vows to never fight again after being emotionally broken by the struggles and sights of war.

But, the knight finds himself immersed yet again in

violence as he picks up his sword to return to the life he attempted to flee from.

Sutter already has a starstudded cast lined up for his newest FX show. Wife Katey Sagal and “True Blood” veteran Stephen Moyer are only a couple of Sutter’s characters speculated to take roles on the show. Charlie Hunnam, Sutter’s lead man in hit show “Sons of Ananarcy,” which premiered its series finale this fall, is speculated to make an appearance on Sutter’s newest masterpiece. Hunnam said at a Television Critics Association press tour event he would love to be included on Sutter’s show for a season or two, warning that the screenwriter would be in serious trouble if he left the British hunk out.

Hunnam’s knowledge of medieval history leads to speculation that he could be the perfect fit for Sutter’s show.

“I spent a lot of time researching the period maybe 200 years later than that when I wrote a script about Vlad the Impaler,” Hunnam said at the press tour.

“I really am interested, and particularly in English history and that period of English history. It sounds really great, his idea. He’s going to create something pretty exciting.”

While Sutter has not confirmed or denied a spot for Hunnam on his upcoming cast, the actor seems to be a favorite for filling the script’s violent and vulgar scenes.

With a few roles left to fill, Sutter is also devoting time to the creation of the set for “The Bastard Executioner.” Being filmed northwest of Cardiff in the village of Llanharan in Wales, the set is taking shape with medieval buildings and towns being established.

With a serious fan base devoted through its love

of “Sons of Anarachy,” Sutter is hoping to draw even more fanatics that will become hopelessly addicted.

FX is changing up its typical primetime line up, promoting the new cast that will wreak havoc next season on “American Horror Story: Hotel.” The popular show dropped famous show veterans Jessica Lange and Sarah Paulson, who will be replaced with pop star Lady Gaga and Magic Mike stud Matt Bomer. “The Bastard Executioner” is only one of FX’s anticipated shows set to captivate viewers this fall.

“The Bastard Executioner” is set to air on FX in fall 2015. With a stellar cast and typical Sutter plot, “The Bastard Executioner” will surely be a show worth watching. For updates on casting and production, check out http://bastardexecutioner.net/. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Lincoln Assassination artifacts reunited for first time since April 1865

Photo credit: gizmodo.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — Beyond his famous words, the tangible artifacts President Abraham Lincoln left behind after his assassination were scattered for decades, kept in family collections and by the government and museums from Washington to Chicago.

Now for the first time since April 1865, curators have brought together most of the artifacts from the night the 16th president was shot at Ford’s Theatre just blocks from the White House. A new exhibition, “Silent Witnesses: Artifacts of the Lincoln Assassination,” running from next Monday to May 25 at the theater’s campus will give an unprecedented look at Lincoln’s death 150 years later.

The tiny Deringer pistol that delivered the fatal wound, a blood-stained flag and garments used to cradle Lincoln’s head and his coat and top hat offer an intimate look at a moment that changed history,

said Ford’s Theatre curator Tracey Avant.

“There were real people behind these artifacts,” she said. “We’ll never know what would have happened if he hadn’t been assassinated, but we know the impact he has left even with his live being cut short.”

Curators present the history in four acts to show how Lincoln’s final night transpired.

Act 1: A Night Out Starting five blocks away from the theater at the National Museum of American History, visitors can see the black carriage that brought the president and Mary Todd Lincoln to Ford’s Theatre along with a young couple as their guests, Major Henry Rathbone and his fiancée Clara Harris. In those days, presidents provided their own transportation, and this was one of the Lincolns’ three carriages.

A playbill would have greeted the Lincoln party when they arrived, announcing the final night of

the comedy “Our American Cousin.” Orchestra seats were $1, while private box seats sold for $6 and $10.

Act 2: The President’s Arrival The Lincolns arrived late to Ford’s Theatre, and the performance had already begun. Actress and theater manager Laura Keene saw the first family and stopped the show, and the orchestra played “Hail to the Chief,” drawing cheers and applause.

A rarely seen violin and drum sticks from the theater’s musicians now recall that moment. Theater goers later said that Lincoln looked happier than he had looked in years.

Lincoln and his guests took their box seats, and the show resumed.

Act 3: The President is Shot Not long after the start of Act 3, a well-known actor named John Wilkes Booth slipped into the presidential box. He carried a small Deringer pistol and fired

at Lincoln’s head from just inches away.

When Rathbone tried to stop him, Booth slashed at the young Union officer with a large knife and jumped down to the stage before escaping.

A young doctor rushed to Lincoln’s aid, and Keene, the lead actress, brought water. Keene kept bloodstained fragments from her dress from when she cradled the president’s head in her lap. An American flag decorating the presidential box also was folded and used as a pillow for Lincoln’s head.

An Associated Press correspondent at the time, Lawrence Gobright, recovered the pistol in the theater box and turned it over to police.

Act 4: The Vigil The wounded president was taken across the street to Petersen House as doctors tried to save his life.

Outside, the public gathered for an all-night vigil until Lincoln’s death at 7:22

Female stars of ‘Insurgent’ break from traditional action movie roles

photo credit: moviepilot.com

LOS ANGELES (AP) — On the surface, “Insurgent,” with its dystopian setting and teenage heroine, might just seem like another bythe-numbers young adult tale. Look a little closer and it’s clear that this second installment isn’t merely capitalizing on a popular genre, but, with its half dozen female leads and supporting characters, actually represents a subtle subversion of what audiences have been taught action films should be.

When women lead up action-driven films and franchises, it’s usually one exceptional gal against the world. Here, they’re all over the place, serving as leaders, radicals and rebels, each wildly diverse, complicated, charismatic and flawed in their own unique way.

“Insurgent,” out Friday, picks up shortly after the events of the first film, and

finds Tris (Shailene Woodley) exposed as a statewanted “divergent,” or someone who doesn’t fit into the five designated factions, and on the run from Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the controlling, ruthless leader whose goal is to extradite Tris’s kind from the society.

Still shaken from the violent deaths of her parents and friend in the first film and on a path to self-actualization, Tris encounters a number of adults hoping to mold her in their image, including franchise newcomers Johanna (Octavia Spencer), the stoic Amity leader with the mysterious scar on her face, and Evelyn (Naomi Watts), a factionless revolutionary with cryptic motives who also happens to be the estranged mother of Tris’s boyfriend Four (Theo James).

Credit for populating the world with strong female characters goes to author

Veronica Roth, who saw “Insurgent” as a chance to really flesh out the environment around Tris.

“It was very intentional for me that most of the leaders in Tris’s world would be women, and not necessarily the good guys all the time,” said Roth on a recent afternoon in Los Angeles.

“I think it’s equally important to have female villains. When people notice that there’s not a lot of representation in a particular area they try to make those characters holy symbols that are pure and good.

That does a disservice to women,” she said.

Producer Lucy Fisher was particularly delighted by the sheer number of significant moments between the female characters, noting that the film easily passes the Bechdel Test (meaning there must be at least one scene where two female characters with

names discuss something other than a man).

“She has a scene with each woman saying, `I’m not going to be who you want me to be’,” said Fisher, who, along with husband and co-producer Douglas Wick is often driven to female-centric projects.

“We like female empowerment,” she said, adding that they did try to get a woman in the director’s chair, before ultimately deciding on German filmmaker Robert Schwentke.

Despite Johanna’s limited on-screen time in this film, Spencer said it was a no-brainer to join the project. Not only was she a fan of the book, but she and Roth had met and bonded at a book event years earlier.

“I kind of stalked her,” said Spencer with a laugh.

“We talked about (Spencer) and the question of race came up because she’s not

written as African American but to us it seemed like a great idea,” added Fisher.

Unexpected casting informed most of their decisions surrounding the characters in the franchise.

Fisher and her team liked the idea of Watts, too, because she didn’t exactly fit the mold of a “tough,” which makes her even more mysterious on the screen.

For Watts, the only real hesitation came when she realized she’d be playing the mother to an actor only 16 years her junior.

“I thought, `Oh what the heck. She was young,’” said Watts.

Ultimately, though, the story belongs to Tris, who’s at a sort of crossroads in figuring out who she wants to be amid harsh directives from the leadership, her family, and the various fractionalized micro societies.

“I think `Insurgent’ is my favorite in terms of her

character. It’s kind of like the crucible for Tris,” said Roth.

“Tris wasn’t born a superhero,” said Woodley. “She’s someone who, throughout her circumstances and experiences, had to gain certain skills in order to grow.

We all have the opportunity to either turn away from our fears or face them head on and draw upon our courage and our bravery.”

And yet, even though she strongly believes that audiences thirst for diversity in who is leading their films, Woodley also said that ultimately, it’s almost irrelevant.

“The cool thing about this movie is it wasn’t meant to be a feminist film. It wasn’t meant to be like, `Ooh, look at this strong female heroine,’” said Woodley. “It’s just a really intriguing story line and why the (expletive) do we even care if it’s a woman or a man?”

Evaluating 1-seeds in 2015 NCAA Tournament david schlake sports editor @dschlake_wvu

1. Kentucky Wildcats (34-0, 18-0 SEC) Yeah, of course, Kentucky is the favorite to win the NCAA Tournament this year. The Wildcats have remained perfect since Nov. 14, when their season commenced and have put themselves in a position to make history, as the last team to go an entire season undefeated (including postseason tournament play) was the Indiana Hoosiers in 1976.

The “Pursuit of Perfection” has become a phrase incorporated into everyday conversation, as spectators all over the country have become anxious to see if the Wildcats can finish what they started.

They have the size underneath, most notably with 7-foot, 240-pound junior Willie Cauley-Stein. They have the shooting abilities, averaging 46.9 percent as a team. Most importantly though, they have the depth.

The depth on the Wildcats’ roster has allowed head coach John Calipari to articulately design a strategy that isn’t an option for other teams around the league, simply due to his supply of resources. His whole bench seems to be good enough to play as a starter for any other team, which shows in the amount of playing time each player is issued. Eight players on Calipari’s squad are currently averaging more than 20 minutes per game, and the player most frequently on the court, Aaron Harrison, is only averaging 25.8—that’s how you capitalize on your resources without letting any go to waste.

Regardless of where they

landed in the NCAA Tournament bracket, they have to remain the undisputed favorite to take the whole thing. Landing in the Midwest, however, has given them some potential threats in No. 2 Kansas, No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 4 Maryland and No. 5 West Virginia, but the Wildcats are still the team to beat.

2. Wisconsin Badgers (31-3, 16-2 Big Ten) The Badgers had one heck of a year, only losing three games, but one of those losses was to Rutgers, so there is absolutely the possibility of an upset. Obviously the best thing they have going for them right now is owning one of the most impressive players of the year, Frank Kaminsky.

The senior forward out of Lisle, Ill., is currently averaging an eye-popping 18.2 points per game and eight rebounds—numbers that can carry a team to the Final Four. He has posted at least 20 points on 13 separate occasions this season, including a season-high game against Michigan State in which he dropped 31.

Head coach Bo Ryan took the Badgers to the Final Four last year, but this year seems to hold more promise. The bracket is tough this year, as the top five seeds in each region are stronger collectively than those in last year’s tournament.

No. 2 Arizona, No. 3 Baylor, No. 4 North Carolina and No. 5 Arkansas all have the personnel and ability to take down a team like Wisconsin, which is why March Madness lives up to its name year in and year out.

I’d tag Arizona as the toughest 2-seed, partly due to the absence of Justin Anderson on Virginia’s squad, but they could have their work cut out for them if it came down to a 1-seed-2-seed

NICK GOLDEN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Dayah Haley opens the vault routine for the Mountaineers during a match earlier this season.

Haley finishes time at West Virginia with soaring scores by nicole curtin

associate sports editor @nicole_WVU

At the conclusion of the regular season, senior gymnast Dayah Haley has proven to be a crucial member of the West Virginia gymnastics team.

Haley is a four-year senior and is wrapping up her degree in coaching.

Over the weekend the Mountaineers hosted their last regular season meet which was also Senior Night. Haley was one of the three members honored for their time on the squad.

“I handled it pretty well until the end. All of us got a little bit emotional, which is normal,” Haley said following the meet.

During her time in the gold and blue leotard, she

has put up scores for WVU in crucial meets like the EAGL Championships in 2012, Big 12 Championships in 2013 and 2014, and the meet Saturday.

In 2012 at the EAGL Championships, Haley opened the uneven bars lineup for the Mountaineers and hit her career-high with a 9.8. Throughout that entire season she average a 9.664 on the bars, which was fourth best on the team. In the regional NCAA meet that same year she hit her then-career-best 9.8 on the vault.

Looking back on her time at West Virginia and the gymnastics she has performed, Haley said her memories from freshman year are the fondest.

“I always go back to EAGL my freshman year,”

she said. “It was our first year having a college experience, and having us win that title was something you really can’t explain or put on paper. It’s just a feeling, it was really phenomenal to be a part of that and experience that and have that memory forever. It’s more than the ring we got, it’s a memory.”

Sophomore year only brought more opportunities for Haley to match and beat her previously set career numbers. In 2013 she competed in each meet and was the opener for the vault lineup all season. Scoring a 9.75 or higher in six different meets, Haley beat the career-high she set in her freshman year with a 9.825 against Iowa State.

Haley had competed as a multi-event gym-

nast in all meets her freshman season and was presented the chance to take on the balance beam in a meet her sophomore year against Denver. Although it was a last minute decision, she set a career-high of 9.725 on the beam and gained some competing experience.

On the year, Haley averaged a 9.731 on the vault and finished fourth best on the team for total season points.

Last season she really proved herself in terms of leadership and holding her own in events such as the vault, uneven bars and the floor. As she usually competed in those three events and has only faced the balance beam three times for competition in her four years, she continued to

lead the team to wins with her scores.

Haley set or bested three career-high scores in the 2014 Big 12 Championships. In a decision made the day of the meet, coach Jason Butts put Haley in for the beam lineup and she competed in her first all-around. In the end she hit career-bests with 9.825 on the beam, 9.85 on the floor and her 39.125 in the all-around score was good enough for third place.

In her junior year, Haley saw the podium three different times but this year has been a little bit different.

Over the weekend, Haley hit a 9.9 on the floor; she has hit either a 9.9 or higher on four different occasions this season in that event.

With time and training it

is obvious that an athlete will get better, but Haley peaked at the best possible time for herself and the team.

The last meet was also the second time Haley has competed in all-around and she came out on top with a 39.075, not too much lower than her previously set all-around score.

This year Haley has walked up to the podium several times to receive awards following a meet and still has a couple of opportunities to do so. Going into this weekend Haley faces her final conference championship in the Big 12’s, and then the NCAA Regional meet the following weekend which will be at the Coliseum. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

COLUMBUS BOUND

doyle maurer/the daily athenauem

West Virginia sophomore guard Tarik Phillip talks to a referee during the Big 12 quarterfinal game against Baylor last week.

Breaking down West Virginia’s side of the Columbus Bracket in the NCAA Tournament by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After a first round exit from the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City, West Virginia is headed to Columbus, Ohio as a 5-seed and will take on 12-seed Buffalo in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

With senior guards Juwan Staten and Gary Browne looking like they will be good to go for the big dance, West Virginia’s odds of making a run and making it out of Columbus increased exponentially.

There are three teams standing in the way of a potential date with undefeated Kentucky in the

Sweet Sixteen. Here’s an abbreviated breakdown of each of those three hurdles the Mountaineers will have to clear to make it to the second weekend of the tournament.

12-seed Buffalo Bulls: After finishing 23-9 and winning the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the Bulls are making their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1965. While its current players may lack tournament experience, Buffalo’s head coach certainly does not. Former Duke point guard Bobby Hurley has transformed this program into a winner in a short amount of time. That should come as no surprise, considering the central role

he played on two of the Blue Devils’ national championships during his playing career in 1991 and 1992.

Since he took over in 2013, the Bulls have amassed a 42-19 record. This year, his team has gotten it done on offense and on the glass.

The Bulls rank No. 28 in the nation in scoring, averaging 75.0 points per game, and are No. 16 in rebounding. Junior forward Justin Moss is what makes this team go. He leads the Bulls in scoring with 17.7 points per game and nearly averages a double-double, pulling down 9.3 rebounds per game.

4-seed Maryland Terrapins: The days of Gary Williams patrolling the side-

lines may have come and gone, but the Terrapins have enjoyed a return to prominence under head coach Mark Turgeon. Since taking over in College Park in 2011, Turgeon has revitalized this program that had been a tournament mainstay under Williams, but fell on hard times. Getting talent like Dez Wells, Jake Layman and Melo Trimble has allowed Turgeon to make the Terrapins into a contender in the Big 10 and a threat to make a deep run in the tournament. Trimble, a freshman from Upper Marlboro, Md., has taken the country by storm this year, leading his team with 16.3 points per game and showing poise beyond his years

in clutch situations. He’s anything but your typical freshman, and likely won’t be rattled by the spotlight that comes along with playing in the tournament.

13-seed Valparaiso Crusaders: This team’s nickname is appropriate, considering the manner in which they carved through the Horizon League this season. The Crusaders went 13-3 in league play during the regular season and finished 28-5 overall to earn their second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance under head coach Bryce Drew. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, especially during this time of year, it probably should. Drew hit one of the most iconic buzzer

beaters in March Madness history, a desperation 3-pointer from the wing that sent Ole Miss packing and Valparaiso to its first tournament win in school history. While the ghost of upsets past may be on their side, coach Drew won’t be sinking any buzzer beaters against Maryland Friday, but the Crusaders are certainly not without firepower in the present day. Sophomore forward Alec Peters has stepped into a major role this season, filling it up from the field for a teamhigh 16.7 points per game and a scorching shooting percentage of .490. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU defense taking shape at spring practices by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen and defensive coordinator Tony Gibson have lots to be excited about as the Mountaineers continue spring practice this week.

The defense returns 10 starters from last year’s improved unit, including a deep and experienced group of linebackers.

“Defensively, I think when you look at the roster with everyone coming back the one thing that stands out is the depth at linebacker,” Holgorsen said during his spring practice presser. “(Nick) Kwiatkoski has started games, Isaihah Bruce, and Shaq Petteway have all started games for us.

“Then you bring in Jared Barber who comes in and fills the role that (Wes) Tonkery played with as many games as he started; I think we’re at a great spot with the linebackers.”

Barber started 10 games at weakside linebacker in

2013, and recorded 71 tackles before sustaining a season-ending knee injury against Texas.

The 6-foot, 234-pound fifth-year senior from Mocksville, N.C., has played in 32 career games for the Mountaineers since 2011, including 13 starts.

“We’re going to put Barber at Mike, and move Kwiatkoski to where Tonkery was at Sam,” Holgorsen said.

“Jared is really comfortable at Mike, he’s got a bunch of experience.

“He can run this defense in his sleep.”

Gibson, who also coaches West Virginia’s linebackers, said Kwiatkoski’s athleticism and experience playing outside prompted the move. The 6-foot-2, 236-pound Bethel Park, Pa., native started 10 games at outside linebacker in 2013, recording a team-high 86 tackles.

“It’s all the same position,” Gibson said of the mental transition between the positions. “If you can play Mike then you can play Sam or Will for us. Those guys are so interchangeable.”

With the loss of Tonkery, who finished third on the team with 69 tackles last season, including 10.5 tackles for loss, West Virginia’s coaching staff is happy to welcome Barber back.

“He’s a coach on the

field. …He has been here a long time and has played a lot,” Holgorsen said. “He was pretty valuable to us a year ago. He was basically a student-coach. Now he’s a player/coach.”

Gibson said he wants

to be even better on defense this season, and that there’s no reason why the Mountaineers can’t be.

“I said I am not going to say we should be okay,” he said. “No, we should be re-

AP

Lady Vols’ Burdick, Massengale last of the Summit Recruits KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP)— The last remaining Tennessee players to suit up for former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt want to end their careers by getting the program back to what they believe is its rightful place.

Cierra Burdick, Ariel Massengale and injured center Isabelle Harrison played for Summitt as freshmen and would like to cap their senior seasons by helping No. 6 Tennessee (27-5) reach the Final Four, which this year is in Tampa, Florida.

Tampa also was the site of the Lady Vols’ last Final Four appearance, when Summitt led Tennessee to the 2008 national championship. “We owe it to Pat,� said Burdick, a 6-foot-2 forward. “She gave us a chance to put on this Lady Vol uniform and to have confidence in us to get

the job done. We want to get to Tampa for this program, for this team, for (coach) Holly (Warlick), for Pat. We deserve to be there.�

Summitt stepped down in April 2012 after being diagnosed with early-onset dementia, Alzheimer’s type.

She led the Lady Vols to eight national titles and 18 Final Fours before being replaced

by Warlick, her longtime former assistant.

Warlick has guided Tennessee back to the women’s NCAA Tournament the last three years. The No. 2 seed in the Spokane Region this year, the Lady Vols open on Saturday by hosting Boise State (22-10).

Harrison tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee last month, so she’s forced to watch from the sidelines. Her injury is the lat-

est setback for a senior class that’s withstood plenty of adversity.

Before they began their Lady Vol careers, they learned of Summitt’s diagnosis. They went through a coaching change after their freshman seasons. They’ve faced postseason disappointment, including two exits in the regional finals and a loss to Maryland in last year’s regional semifinal.

Massengale, a 5-7 guard, missed the last 16 games of her junior season due to a concussion. Burdick and Massengale now lead a team that played the entire year without reserve center Mercedes Russell and lost Harrison and forward Jasmine Jones to injuries during the season. “This is my last time to play for a national championship,�

Massengale said. “I’m excited for it and I’m going to take full advantage of it.�

Burdick and Massengale have asserted themselves even more since Harrison’s injury. Warlick said earlier in the season Burdick and Massengale often deferred to Harrison, who was Tennessee’s leading scorer and rebounder. “When she went out, somebody had to step up, and both of them have really done a fantastic job,� Warlick said. “They’ve both stepped up their game as well.�

Burdick has averaged 13.4 points and 8.4 rebounds without Harrison over the last seven games, up from 10.2 points and 6.8 boards before the senior center’s injury. Massengale is averaging 13.9 points over the last seven games, up from 10.4 beforehand.
