City moves Home Rule act forward by caitlin coyne staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Morgantown City Council unanimously passed the first two acts of Home Rule at this week’s City Council meeting. The ordinances include a $5 court technology fee for defendants in municipal court cases who plead guilty or no contest to charges

in order to cover technology fees that are currently paid by the city, as well as a ban on upholstered furniture outside of homes in Morgantown. Home Rule allows cities to govern themselves on a needs basis, letting them pass ordinances and policies specific to the area and separate from the state. Morgantown became a part of West Virgin-

ia’s Home Rule pilot program last October and was granted a chance to propose five points as an exploratory introduction for Home Rule in the city. The court technology fee and the upholstered furniture ban are the first two of five acts of Home Rule to be proposed and approved by the Council. “We hope this will improve the municipal court

system greatly,” said City Manager Jeff Mikorski about the court technology fee. According to Mikorski, the $5 fee will halt municipal courts from competing with other areas of the city for funds necessary to operate them. The ban on upholstered furniture outside of the home comes as an attempt to combat against the street

fires that prevail in Morgantown regularly. “This will at least reduce the speed of which fuel for these fires will get in the public’s way,” Mikorski said. Council Member Nancy Ganz also voiced her high aspirations and approval of the ordinance. “I hope this will eliminate things like we saw this last weekend where there were three dumpster fires

Dadisman dorm damaged after pipe burst, clean-up in progess correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Around 11:30 p.m. on March 31, West Virginia University freshman Elias Berhane was having a typical Tuesday night when he returned from an evening at the library to his dorm room in Dadisman Hall. Berhane said he was performing his normal routine when his night took an unexpected turn. “I came in and did my usual ritual,” Berhane said. “I come in, throw my bag on the floor and throw my keys on the floor. I took my jacket off, opened my closet up and put it on the hanger. As soon as I put it on the rack, the sprinkler started going off and flooding my room.” According to Berhane, a faulty sprinkler located

on the inside of his closet, sprayed a thick layer of water onto the floor, drenching the carpet and all of the clothes hanging inside. Though it’s unclear why, a nearby pipe also burst and Dadisman staff was forced to evacuate all residents from the building. Approximately 30 minutes later, the Morgantown Fire Department arrived and assessed the damage before the students were permitted to return. After the event, several residents were forced to leave their rooms due to the water that had spread through the building. Several rooms located near Berhane’s on the fifth floor were affected, as well as rooms located directly below. Though clean up is still underway on the affected

Huggins named coach of the year by taylor jobin staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University head basketball coach Bob Huggins has been named Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year for 2014-15. Huggins led the Mountaineers to a 25-12 season record and a fourth-place tie in the Big 12 this past season, West Virginia’s third as a member of the Big 12 Conference. His West Virginia men’s team was one of two Big 12 teams that advanced to the Sweet 16 in this year’s NCAA Basketball Tournament. Huggins’ team played with a tangible ferocity this season, full court pressing almost the full 40 minutes each game. Led by his two senior standouts, Juwan Staten and Gary Browne, Huggins’ Mountaineers earned the moniker “Press Virginia” from the national media. Huggins literally wrote the book on press defense. In 2000 he authored “Coaching the Matchup

In addition to West Virginia, Huggins coached 15 seasons at Cincinnati and five seasons as head coach at Akron. Huggins is 12th all-time in career wins as a head coach and has been named National Coach of the Year six different times. The Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year award is

Phelan coached his entire career at Mount St. Mary’s University and compiled an overall record of 830524. He coached more than 1,300 games in all college divisions and his teams won 20 or more games in a single season 19 times. This is the first time Huggins has won the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year award and the first time for a coach from the Big 12.

MILLENIALS AREN’T STUPID Commentary: One columnist defends millennials, argues they have much going for them OPINION PAGE 4

Mountaineers Mentoring Mountaineers is a program that began within the West Virginia University Honors College during the fall semester and will soon be extended to the rest of the University. “The program matches people who are in the same major who have similar interests, similar goals, similar ideals as each other – people that might not have met otherwise – and lets them learn from each other and build relationships,” saidMountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia, a facilitator of the program. “The goal is to bring the campus together by forming these small relationships. It’s those little things you learn from someone who has already been there and done that – it’s really helpful.” The program pairs freshmen with upperclassmen in order for the younger students to have a mentor who will guide them through their first year at the University. It is anticipated that this fall semester it will become an established program any

WVU student can participate in. Garcia commented on the transition this program is making from the smaller Honors College community to the entire University. “The people who put the time and effort into using (their mentor) as a resource really developed well as freshmen. It was a test run, but because it worked (at the Honors College), we want to figure out how it can work everywhere,” Garcia said. “The goal is to have (this program) established for next fall and to organize other mentorship programs that are already established on campus and make sure people know about them.” Josh Watson, a member of the Student Government Association Board of Governors, ran his platform on the transition to college. He became involved in building this program with Garcia with the hopes that it will be a way to improve freshmen transition and to increase retention rates. “It’s normal for someone starting college to be nervous and apprehensive of leaving their hometown

Students can register for 24-hour video creating contest by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s inaugural 24 Hour Insomnia Video Contest is still open for registration this weekend, showcasing nearly a dozen groups of students racing against time to see who can make the best short film in a single day. The contest, which is currently open to all undergraduate and graduate students, starts Friday at 5 p.m. and continue night and day until 5 p.m. Saturday. “The students who are participating have to come up with an idea, shoot, edit and produce the whole video within 24 hours,” said Jessica Tapia, multimedia services librarian. “The final product should be a three minute video.” Teams of up to four students will draw different variables to include in their videos during the kickoff event Friday. “We have three categories: people, places and things,” Tapia said. “Each team will have to draw one thing from each of those categories. So the PRT station could be a place or

Gordon Gee could be the person. The video doesn’t have to be about that person, (the groups) just have to mention it or have a picture or something has to be included.” According to the event’s website, teams will be able to use the Downtown Campus Library’s cameras, tripods, microphones, Adobe editing software (Premiere, Audition, After Effects), iMovie and Final Cut. It is highly recommended that at least one member per team has editing experience. The contest’s three judges will announce their pick 5 p.m. Sunday at the event’s live screening in Room 104 of the Downtown Campus Library. In addition, the live audience will pick its own winning team. Each winning team will be awarded $400 in Amazon gift cards. Sunday’s screening is free and open to the public, and all are encouraged to attend. While nothing is specifically banned from being in the films, Tapia has a good rule of thumb when it comes to obscenities. “We have a line in our

Paul begins presidential run with litany of woes LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Sen. Rand Paul launched his 2016 presidential campaign Tuesday with a combative challenge both to Washington and his fellow Republicans, cataloguing a lengthy list of what ails America and pledging to “take our country back.” Paul’s fiery message, delivered in his home state of Kentucky before he flew to four early-nominating states, was designed to broaden his appeal outside of the typical GOP coalition as well as motivate supporters of his father’s two unsuccessful bids for the Republican presidential nomination. In a 26-minute speech that eviscerated “the Washington machine,” he spared neither Republican nor Democrat as he attempted to tap into Americans’ deep frustrations with their government. “I worry that the opportunity and hope are slipping away for our sons and daughters,” the tea party favorite said. “As I watch our once-great economy collapse under mounting spending and debt, I think, ‘What kind of America will our grandchildren see?’” He added: “It seems to me that both parties and the entire political system are to blame.” By criticizing fellow Republicans, Paul showed he was ready to run a toughtalking campaign equally at ease criticizing both major parties. “Big government and debt doubled under a Republican administration,” Paul said in a swipe at former President George W. Bush, whose brother, Jeb, is expected to be a Paul rival for the GOP nomination. He immediately followed up: “And it’s now tripling under Barack Obama’s watch.” In what well might have been a jab at Jeb Bush and other rivals considered more mainstream, he added: “If we nominate a candidate who is simply Democrat Lite, what’s the point?” At a splashy kickoff rally, Paul promised a government restrained by the Constitution and beholden no more to special interests. “I have a message, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words: We have come to take our country back,” he told cheering supporters. Paul is a fierce critic of Washington, where he is in his first term as a senator but often not in line with his party’s leadership. A banner over the stage in Louisville proclaimed:

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announces the start of his presidential campaign as the audience cheers, Tuesday, April 7, 2015, at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Ky. Paul launched his 2016 presidential campaign Tuesday with a combative message against both Washington and his fellow Republicans, declaring that “we have come to take our country back.” “Defeat the Washington machine. Unleash the American dream.” Paul was clearly most passionate about upending the way Washington works. “I propose we do something extraordinary,” he said. “Let’s just spend what comes in.” Cheers erupted when he decried government searches of phones and computer records as a threat to civil liberties. Most Republicans defend the practice as a necessary defense against terrorism. “I say the phone records of law-abiding citizens are none of their damn business,” Paul said of government officials. Tom Stewart, a 58-yearold resident of London, Kentucky, joined Paul’s rally and counted himself a backer. “I like that he wants less government,” Stewart said. “Less spending. Less intrusion. Maybe less intrusion into everybody’s rights around the world.” Paul’s challenge now is to convince other Republican voters that his is a vision worthy of the GOP presidential nomination, a prize twice denied his father, former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. The elder Paul

joined his son at Tuesday’s announcement and got a raucous cheer when he was introduced. Paul begins the 2016 race as the second fully declared candidate, behind Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. They could face as many as 20 rivals before the lead-off Iowa caucuses in February. Paul is a frequent contrarian against his party’s orthodoxy, questioning the size of the U.S. military and proposing relaxation of some drug laws that imprison offenders at a high cost to taxpayers. He also challenges the GOP’s support for surveillance programs, drone policies and sanctions on Iran and Cuba. But as the presidential campaign has come closer, Paul has shifted his approach somewhat on the question of how much government the country actually needs. He recently proposed a 16 percent increase in the Pentagon’s budget, a switch from his earlier call for military and troop cuts. Tech savvy and youth focused, Paul is expected to be an Internet pacesetter whom his competitors will have to chase. Paul’s digital advisers, for example, kept track of

who asked questions in a Facebook exchange after the speech, harvesting data to reach prospective voters. It’s unclear how much support Paul can muster in the Republican mainstream. In one sign of his uphill climb, an outside group not connected to any candidate planned to spend more than $1 million on ads criticizing Paul’s positions on Iran sanctions. “Somebody is worried about me,” Paul said in an interview with Fox News. “On my day, when I’m announcing, someone is spending a million dollars.” And Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz continued the pile-on, telling reporters, “Rand Paul’s policies are way outside the mainstream.” Paul is leaving open the door to a second term in the Senate. With the backing of his state’s senior senator, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, he is likely to seek the White House and the Senate seat at the same time. McConnell, who backs Paul’s presidential bid, appeared Tuesday at a busi-

ness event in Nicholasville, Kentucky. “I think we take it one step at a time,” McConnell said. “I’m confident if Rand is running for the Senate, he’ll be re-elected.” One of Paul’s likely rivals, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, is expected to announce next week that he will skip a Senate re-election bid in 2016 in favor of putting everything into a

Playing tonight at 123: Stage Hands & The Furr By Jillian Clemente A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Creative geniuses Brandon Locher and Gerald Mattis conglomerate into a musical duo aptly named Stage Hands, and those four hands are coming to Morgantown. “There’s a lot of music out there, so I think the diversity of the bands that are coming through - that makes the show that much more interesting,” said L.J. Giuliani, the owner of 123 Pleasant Street, about the upcoming show tonight featuring Stage Hands and The Furr. Liz Pavlovic, drummer and vocalist for The Furr, is a friend of Locher from the Western PA music scene, and she got him to come play in her hometown. “Liz wanted to hook up and do a show,” Locher said. “(Today) will be the

first day of a 15-day tour.” Locher’s favorite part of being an artist is performing live, which is why he chose to stick with Stage Hands for awhile. He’s been a part of over 60 bands and productions for the past nine years, but Stage Hands is definitely fun for him. “I think with Stage Hands what’s cool about it is that we’re focused on being a good live band,” he said. Locher is on the computer and his buddy, Mattis, plays drums. “We really like playing live even though we just put out our first record in February, we’re always focused on what we can do with it in a live setting.” It’s a very improvised production while on stage, but there is much time put into creating the songs. It’s where the name “Stage Hands” comes from, too. “I think with the music that we make, a lot of it takes this meticulous care

that you need to put in with it, working out what the parts are,” Locher said. “We have this idea of what this larger thing can be and what it can become.” This duo has much potential but, for now, an LP was just produced and is 26 minutes long. It goes from, according to its website, “placid and meditative, to nervous and glitchy, to pulsing and malleable.” Stage Hands is a soft, groovy jazzy type and has a mellow vibe. It’s almost strictly an instrumental band. “With lyrical music, the second you say a word, it can be abstracted into some sort of thought or some place or story or imagery in the listener’s mind,” Locher said. “With instrumental music, you can use tones, textures, different sounds - you can create a new dimension, a new sound in someone’s mind.” Stage Hands isn’t op-

show,” Locher said. “Everyone can be creative in their own craft and art, and I think that makes things more interesting.” The show tonight will be interesting due to its eclec-

tic lineup. The Furrs, The One and Only Matt Miller and Stage Hands play at 9:30 p.m. at 123 Pleasant Street. The cost is $5. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Greek Week good opportunity for redemption in community Members of the West Virginia University community as well as those of the national media know this has not been an outstanding year for Greek life on campus and across the country. Monday began the annual Greek Week competition, and it presents an amazing opportunity for the Greek life community on campus. Jessica Li, student program adviser in the office of Student Activities, told The Daily Athenaeum the goal is to bring Greek students together while also serving the Morgantown community. Members of Greek life will compete against one another, while also completing community service acts. While this is an annual event, it comes on the tail of the Greek life morato-

rium—which was lifted earlier this semester after individual chapters complied with University requirements. In truth, the actions of each fraternity and sorority have been under scrutiny lately for the devastating incidents of last semester. With the magnifying glass on them, Greek life as a whole has the chance to change the conversation. The theme, With All Forces Combined Greek Life Can Fly High, is a great way of looking at a way to overcome the controversy—working together to change the conversation. Through the community projects taking place, Greek life has a direct chance to impact the community they reside in. Monday, participants made cards for the Morgantown community manor, a blood drive was

held for the American Red Cross and on Thursday a school supply drive will be held in the Mountainlair to support students at The Shack Neighborhood House. But beyond this, participants will also have the chance to demonstrate the benefits of Greek life on campus and the contributions they can make. It is time for leaders to step up and demonstrate the positive aspects of the Greek system and make this annual contribution truly shine. Working toward redemption is an uphill battle, but this opportunity to demonstrate comradery and work ethic is the perfect chance for the entire system to come together and change the conversation. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Why millennials should be taken more seriously emily torbett columnist @emilytorbsda

As a nearly-gown-up millennial, I’ve become accustomed to the negative perceptions of my generation. I’ve heard my dad and his Baby Boomer friends complain endlessly about our generation’s lack of empathy, our shelves full of participation trophies and our complete inability to put down our smart phones for more than a few minutes at a time. I’ve read the Time Magazine article about “The Me Me Me Generation” and the popular Elite Daily piece, “The Hook Up Culture: How An Entire Generation Forgot How to Actually Date Someone.” Criticizing the younger generations seems to be a long-standing tradition. At this point, I’ve all but given up trying to make my generation understood and respected by the age 50 plus crowd. Over the weekend, I saw a column from Elite Daily entitled “Five ‘On Fleek’ Reasons Why This Generation Isn’t Taken Seriously” shared by several of my friends on Facebook. While I usually try to steer clear of such clickbait, I decided to give it a read and maybe come to an understanding about why millenials are looked down upon with such disdain. However, what I read was so completely unfounded, in fact, it has prompted a response. According to the author, my generation isn’t taken seriously because we don’t make an effort to understand worldly affairs, we

imgkid.com

don’t respect our past, we misuse social media, we don’t know how to speak properly and we’re lazy. In response, I’ve come up with five reasons why our generation should be taken seriously. 1. We’re constantly in the know about the world around us, and we see every side of the issues. Anyone who believes millennials “make no effort to understand worldly affairs” has failed to understand we receive our news differently. Our generation has embraced technology and change more willingly than any other generation before us. It may appear we have no interest be-

cause we don’t sit down to leaf through a newspaper or watch the evening news like our parents. However, many of us are receiving news through our smartphones and other forms of new age media. Think about the Ferguson protests and how we were able to view the live tweets of people who were actually there participating. Rather than watching biased reporting on a significant event, we are able to use social media to communicate with actual eyewitnesses and see all sides of a story. With constantly updated information only a few clicks away, why would we wait for the possibly unreliable

7 p.m. news broadcast? 2. We respect the successes of our past, but don’t deny its failures. To put it simply, we understand we owe something to our parents and the generations before us. Unlike the Baby Boomers that like to view all millenials as apathetic screw-ups, we have no problem giving credit where credit is due. However—and this may come as a shock to some of my older readers—simply being born before us isn’t enough to gain our respect. Sure, Baby Boomers have put us on this planet, but they’ve also devastated the global economy and wrecked the environment with complete disre-

gard for the mess their children will have to clean up. Forgive me for my cynicism, but respect is earned when appropriate and withheld when necessary. 3. We use social media. The older generations think social media is exclusively meant for tweeting about petty and nonsensical irritants or posting our selfies to Instagram, but the truth is we embrace social media for a wide range of uses. Whether we’re getting up to the minute information about the world (as previously mentioned), connecting with others or discussing the issues important to us, we understand social media’s global

reach and use it to transcend barriers of distance and culture. 4. We embrace the commodities of our generation. Believe it or not, we aren’t the first people in history to have our own slang, music and culture. Sure, we use terms like “bae” and “on fleek,” probably as often as as our dads referred to our moms as “babes” and said that everything was “far out.” We’ll keep our slang, fashion, music and culture just like our parents and grandparents kept theirs. 5. We are driven and willing to change things. Contrary to popular belief, millenials are far from lazy. We’re the most educated and connected generation in American history, we’re more civically engaged than our Gen X and Gen Y predecessors and we’re working smarter instead of harder. We’ve seen the toll the nine-to-five lifestyle took on our parents, and we’re open to doing things differently through the use of technology and innovation. Overall, we’re more open-minded and accepting. We embrace inclusivity and diversity as more than mandatory work seminars. Maybe my generation will never earn the respect of older generations, but truthfully, most of us don’t care. Millenials know, as a generation, we are more than just lazy, apathetic tweeters and selfie-takers. We are the future, whether you like it or not, and we are changing things for the better. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

New app increases empathy, humanizes the stories of others abby humphreys columnist @obiwan_baloni

If you’re a follower of Humans of New York on Facebook or Instagram, you might remember a post from last week promoting a mobile app called StoryCorps. The app serves as a portable voice recording device and uploading tool for sharing personal stories to users around the world. To record a story, all you need is a friend or loved one, a question or prompt in mind and a few minutes to record the conversation. Upon downloading the app myself, I first listened to the stories of an older man celebrating his father’s life and a young couple excited to buy their first house together. It was refreshing to hear actual sighs and giggles come through my head-

phones during the twentyminute segments, as most mainstream mobile broadcasts today are usually filled with overly-polite, emotionless drivel. Publishing topics like these to the world may seem trivial and unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but in a fast-paced world packed with depressing news and violently-expressed opinions, slowing down to take in the stories of someone’s vacation or thoughts on parenthood is almost a requirement to stay sane. Podcasts such as The Moth have picked up on the personal interview trend and have exploded in popularity. Inviting guests onstage simply to talk about things that have happened to them isn’t such a radical idea after all, as larger networks do the same thing with celebrities every day. StoryCorps is simply making the concept of

lewisginter.org

the interview more accessible, where everyone’s stories are treated as important and worthy of sharing. This provides a harsh contrast with today’s news, as broadcasts have an unfortunate habit of dehumanizing interviewees. Giving people a chance to talk about what matters to them

on camera almost always results in shortened sound bites or single quotes taken out of context when the interview finally airs on television, which only furthers the divide between people instead of bringing them closer together. It’s easy to become angry or upset with others when we don’t under-

stand their personal history or motivations behind their actions. Editing heartfelt interviews to just a few lines doesn’t remedy this issue in the slightest. I believe what StoryCorps will accomplish will fundamentally help us better empathize with those around us. For example, becom-

ing frustrated and offended is a natural reaction when someone cuts us off in traffic or is short with us at the cash register. However, constantly being reminded of the humanity within everyone might allow us to recognize that perhaps someone is driving poorly or acting discourteously for other reasons entirely. Applying this perspective to larger areas of society may help improve daily mood and self-image, and may even break down racist and sexist attitudes still present in parts of the country. StoryCorps is merely adding a new dimension to a movement of empathy and compassion created by Humans of New York. The Internet has the potential to make even the most remote strangers feel like family, and making use of this might make the world a better place. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

KJ SAWKJA, ill.Gates, Trey Frey at Lux tonight

Trey Frey will DJ tonight at Lux on High Street.

By Kendall Snee A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Music To Your Ears Pro‑ ductions is bringing the DJ sounds of Trey Frey to Lux tonight. “Growing up, I was al‑ ways a big music fan ‑ espe‑ cially thanks to MTV. Since living in Morgantown, I have always surrounded myself with local musicians and spent my free-time in

music venues,” said Adam Payne, an owner and mu‑ sic promoter for Music to Your Ears Productions. “I was going to a lot of shows in Pittsburgh back in 2009, and I realized Morgantown had a huge void in a lot of genres of music. I have an advertising degree from WVU, so I just stepped up and plugged myself into the scene.” There are many col‑ lege students out there

like Payne, longing for an escape from the hum‑ drum conformist pop mu‑ sic heard on the radio. Of‑ ten you see them talking to the DJs at nightclubs asking them what kind of synthe‑ sizer they prefer, counting beats and chord progres‑ sions. If this person is you, and even if it’s not you, there is a place you should definitely check out. Payne is proud to be a part of tonight’s forum at

Lux nightclub, ill.Gates vs. KJ SAWKA with Trey Frey, which is promised to be what Payne calls an abso‑ lute “visual audio overload.” “The music is very orig‑ inal and very bass driven, so the spectator can feel the music - not just hear it. We have hoopers, belly danc‑ ers, poi artists, video pro‑ jection on the LED wall and even a yo-yo artist. We want the event to be full show ex‑ perience, not just another

‘EDM’ event,” Payne said. The event is sure to re‑ define the typical college rager with its cluster of di‑ verse and inventive specta‑ cles. No longer is this genre of music for a specific type of person. Payne went on to explain the ideal audience is not ideal in the slightest. “This is a music festival type audience, making it diverse in hosting people from all walks of music and art. Hip hop, glitch, dub‑

step, drum and bass, elec‑ tro house, trap, and even 8-bit Nintendo chip tune producer who uses Nin‑ tendo Gameboys to make music,” Payne said. The forum also has a VIP pre-party featuring Twin Syndrome at 8:30 p.m. Doors open to the public at 10 p.m. with Trey Frey, and the event is 18 and up. The cost is $20. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

This week’s music releases: Flo Rida, WATERS, Blues Traveler CAITLIN WORRELL A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Flo Rida – My House Our favorite rapper from the Sunshine State is back with a new, chill re‑ cord. Just in time for sum‑ mer, Flo Rida’s released his new record “My House.” The hip-hop star, who flaunts a distinct deep rap voice, opted for a slower pace on the new album. “My House” has a light, island-y feel with most tracks following a Rasta inspired beat. “I Don’t Like It, I Love It” featuring Robin Thicke and Verdine White, takes on a pop doowop style with a Flo Rida’s heated rap as flair. “Here It Is,” featuring Chris Brown, can be described

as a tropical house track. The up-tempo beat and harmonies are the per‑ fect fit for the quick-spit‑ ting rapper. The standout on “My House” is by far “GDFR” which you prob‑ ably have already been blasting in your car. The single dropped on Oct. 21, 2014, but is just now com‑ ing out on top, gracing the Billboard and UK Single Charts. “GDFR” stands for “Going Down For Real,” which is repeated in the tracks catchy chorus. Lis‑ teners are drawn in by the retro horn-like instrumen‑ tals from “Low Rider” by War. WATERS – What’s Real This may be the first time you’re hearing about the funky, folk group, but it certainly won’t be the last. The alternative

group from Norway be‑ gan as a musical project in 2011 for frontman Van Pierszalowski. Other band members include guitar‑ ist Brian DaMert, bass gui‑ tarist Greg Sellin, drum‑ mer Andrew Wales and keyboardist Sara DaMert. After years of assisting on other musical proj‑ ects, WATERS’ sound has evolved into an energized, urban experience. Raw lyrics are complimented by choppy beats and funky synthesizers, which keep listeners hanging onto ev‑ ery word. The group re‑ leased their first EP, “It All Might Be OK” in 2014, launching them into the mainstream indie scene. Touring with artists like Grouplove and Small‑ pools, WATERS takes on a similar abstract aes‑

Darius Rucker talks Hootie reunion NEW YORK (AP) — Nelly and Florida Georgia Line. Ludacris and Jason Al‑ dean. Darius Rucker and Jay Z? The Hootie & the Blow‑ fish frontman-turnedcountry singer says he's hoping to jump on a song with a rapper. "I don't have much left on my bucket list. One of the things that I'm dying to do is to sing the hook on a big rap song," Rucker said in a recent interview. "No one's ever called me to do that." Rucker said he wants to collaborate with hip-hop heavyweights like Jay Z, Eminem and Snoop Dogg. "Somebody that's had a career; I get where they're coming from, they get where I'm coming from," said Rucker, 48. "Let's do something cool." Rap and country duets have become popular over the years: Florida Georgia Line and Nelly's "Cruise" remix was one of 2013's biggest hits. And other collaborations between the genres have matricu‑ lated, from Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson to Jer‑

rod Niemann and Pitbull to Jake Owen and T-Pain. But before Rucker guests on a rap track, he's putting out new country music. "Southern Style," his fourth country effort, was released last week. He said he started work on the album a year ago and wrote over 50 songs for the project, though only 13 made the final track list. Rucker also said the al‑ bum is a departure from 2013's " True Believ‑ ers," which featured his Grammy-winning cover of "Wagon Wheel." "`True Believers' was such a serious record, and with this record, I really went into it with that atti‑ tude of, `Let's have some fun. Let's write some big drinking songs and some loving life songs,'" Rucker said. The first single, "Home‑ grown Honey," was cowritten with Charles Kel‑ ley of Lady Antebellum. "We were having a cou‑ ple beers. We had a little party going over there be‑ tween the three of us," said Rucker, who also wrote on the track with Nathan

Chapman. Rucker will launch a tour May 14 in Holmdel, New Jersey. Aside from his country material, he's also been playing shows with his Hootie bandmates, like they do every year. But Rucker said they're cooking up new music. "I pulled the guys to‑ gether just last week and said, `Let's start writing some songs.' If we de‑ cide to do it a year from now or if we decide to do it two years from now, I don't want to just have to decide and start writing a bunch of songs, I want it to be like when we wrote our first record," he said. "I want to take a couple years, write a bunch of songs and play them to‑ gether in the basement and, you know, let's make a great record." Hootie & the Blowfish, whose hits include "Let Her Cry" and "Only Wanna Be With You," released its last album in 2005. "We're brothers and we play all the time, and we know we're going to do it, but we're not going to do it until it's right," he said.

thetic. Its debut studio al‑ bum “What’s Real,” is no doubt a real reflection of this odd rock group. Their ultra artsy roots are shown in tracks such as “I Feel Everything” and “Stupid Games.” The album’s lead single, “Got to My Head,” is an emotional rock ex‑ perience that gives listen‑ ers the perfect amount of pop-punk pizazz. Blues Traveler – Blow Up the Moon Blues Traveler threw a curve ball at fans with the release of its 12th stu‑

dio album, “Blow Up the Moon.” The album, which exclusively features an ar‑ ray of talented collabora‑ tions, is a bit of an enigma. Blues Traveler can be de‑ scribed as a classic Amer‑ ican rock group, with a more jam band type style. “Blow Up the Moon,” how‑ ever, is so many other things. This album show‑ cases songs from every genre, with an eclectic mix of collaborators. Art‑ ists like 3OH!3 naturally brought a pop sound to their techno-rock track,

“Hurricane.” Country duo Thompson Square was a better fit for the rather folky rock group, featur‑ ing two acoustic-inspired tracks. The album’s great‑ est mashup though, is “Vagabond Blues,” fea‑ turing Rome Ramirez and The Dirty Heads. The funky skat-rap track seamlessly pairs guitars with a funky urban beat. “Blow Up the Moon” is available for download today. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

WVU has big holes to fill for next year After two thrilling lastditch comebacks in the WNIT for the West Virginia University women’s basketball team, the Mountaineers ran out of magic in the tournament final, fumbling away a second-half lead and losing to UCLA by two. The Mountaineers are still searching for that first-ever postseason tournament title, and after a wildly uneven season, they face an uncertain future. Although West Virginia came together to play its best ball of the season in the WNIT, its run to the final was mostly precipitated by its senior class. Point guard Linda Stepney and forwards Averee Fields and Crystal Leary were one of the most successful groups in program history, but their departures are set to leave the team with massive holes that will need to be addressed. Next year’s team will return high-scoring guard Bria Holmes, a WBCA Coaches’ All-America Honorable Mention, who led the way with 18.8 points a game. But while Holmes racked up the points this season, her shooting numbers were well down all across the board. West Virginia ended up with the worst 3-point percentage in the Big 12 this season, and their continued futility from deep was one of the main reasons they failed to make the NCAA Tournament. Holmes shot just 24 percent from beyond the arc this season, and they’ll need her to find her stroke again. Otherwise, they’ll be counting on senior guard Jessica Morton and sophomore forward Teana Muldrow, both of whom showed flashes of 3-point ability last season, to be their main deep threats. But the Mountaineers’ question mark is almost certainly at point guard. Linda Stepney ran the offense capably for four years, and regularly turned in 40-minute nights this season. With Stepney gone, there’s no obvious replacement. Freshmen Dominique Simpson and Tyara Warren both failed to impress in their chances running point this season, while Morton proved herself to be more of a scorer than a facilitator in her time on the court. Next season they’ll be joined by Florida State transfer Chania Ray and incoming freshman guards Katrina Pardee, Yassemeen Sa’Dullah and Lauren Saiki, creating what could be a very competive race for minutes. While there are at least some possible solutions at the point guard position, the Mountaineers might find it much tougher to replace the production of Averee Fields. The senior gave head coach Mike Carey a versatile and allaround skilled power forward that he could run the offense through, as well as an unfailingly consistent rebounder and producer. Especially in the second half of the season, it seemed the only constant West Virginia could count on was that Averee Fields was going to have a good night. Players like Fields don’t grow on trees, and West Virginia will be hard-pressed to replace her steady production and leadership in the frontcourt. Reinforcements are coming in a deep freshman class and some real talent is returning, but the Mountaineers have an uphill battle and a lot of holes to fill if they want to return to the NCAA Tournament next year. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Terrapins overpower West Virginia in College Park, 12-7 by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Although there was a significant black out that affected much of the Washington, D.C., area Wednesday afternoon, including the University of Maryland’s campus in College Park, there was no shortage of power coming from the Terrapin offense in their 12-7 win over visiting West Virginia. No. 17 Maryland overcame an early 2-0 deficit with an offensive onslaught that included three home runs, one each by the top three hitters in the Terrapin lineup, and nine extra base hits.

West Virginia built a 3-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning after shortstop Taylor Munden collected his second RBI of the day with a single up the middle that scored Jackson Cramer, but Maryland’s offense was just about to wake up. The Terrapins put up seven runs on seven hits in the bottom of the fourth inning, which was highlighted by a two-run double by first baseman Kevin Martir. Freshman pitcher Shane Ennis got his first start for West Virginia, but it was short-lived, as he gave up five runs on five hits and a walk in 3.1 innings pitched and the Mountaineers saw their

record drop to 18-12 overall. “We scored in five innings and they scored in four, but that didn’t win the game for us,” said head coach Randy Mazey in an interview with WVUsports.com. “We were on a roll when the power was out and when they turned the power on, their team turned the power on. They had nine extra-base hits. They just hammered our pitchers today.” Maryland’s offense did not let up once it got into West Virginia’s bullpen either, picking up three major tack on runs in the bottom of the eighth to pad its cushion after the Mountaineers had drawn to within 9-7.

Led by Martir, who chipped in four RBIs on three hits for the afternoon, the Terrapins executed at a high level in key situations, going 4-for-9 with runners in scoring position and 3-for-3 with a runner on third with less than two outs. Those kind of numbers can make a tight game into a comfortable win for the team that executes, and the Terrapins did just that. West Virginia on the other hand let some run scoring opportunities go by the wayside, going just 1-for-4 with a runner on third and less than two outs. While the Mountaineers let some chances slip

through their fingers, their offense supplied enough pop to keep things interesting. Munden’s first inning homer marked the third time this season he has led off a game with a home run and pushed his overall season total to eight. He had just two all of last season. West Virginia’s mid-week disappointment will have to be shrugged off quickly, as a monumental moment in program history awaits Friday night when the Mountaineers take the field in their new home ballpark for the first time, taking on the Butler Bulldogs. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Coach King pilots WVU 2 0 1 5 - 2 0 1 6 W V U C O - E D for eighth season C h e e r l e a din g T r yo u t s by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University women’s rowing team has been remotely successful for the past seven seasons at the hand of experienced rowing coach and Baltimore, Md., native Jimmy King. King has coached rowing at the collegiate level for 22 years. His first four seasons were spent at his alumni, Bucknell, followed by one year at George Washington and 10 years as assistant coach at Georgetown, before he embarked on a long journey as part of the storied rowing program at West Virginia. King has brought an immense amount of experience to West Virginia, which often brings a competitive advantage while competing at a high level. This season alone, West Virginia has already faced multi-talented teams including North Carolina, Indiana and one of King’s former schools, Georgetown. He also has experience with both men and women’s rowing squads as well as coaching the U.S. National Rowing Team and working with the Navy Rowing Camp. In his first few seasons at West Virginia, King made an immediate impact on the women’s rowing squads. He helped lead the Varsity 4+ squad to a first place finish at the Big East Championships in the petite final during multiple seasons and saw a multitude of first place finishes among the next few seasons in regular matchups. In a short amount of time, King helped put West Virginia on the map as a competitive women’s rowing team that was capable of challenging the best teams in the country. Although rowing doesn’t get much attention, King boasts with pride following the accomplishments of his team each season. This season, the rowing team has already had a suc-

cessful top-half of its schedule in the Regatta rotation, including three top-10 finishes in Pittsburgh, two topfive finishes in Virginia and a novice-squad competition against Duquesne. More recently, during the spring slate of the schedule, a trip to Washington, D.C. proved successful as well as a trip to Indiana for a matchup with the Hoosiers. “The first half of our season has been more challenging than usual due to a variety of factors. The late cold spell we experienced delayed our usual start on the Mon River by about three weeks. Rowing is a very technical sport and there is no substitute for water time. We’ve also experienced more than our share of illnesses and injuries but we’re gradually getting healthier in both regards,” King said. According to King, a team effort is essential when the boat enters the water and the rowers begin competition. His true coaching strengths can be noticed as he instills teamwork into each practice allowing the rowers to become more team-oriented. “The rowers and coxswains are dependent upon one another for their successes. Whereas some are more skilled, others are stronger. Individually they have their strengths and weaknesses but on the water we strive to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts,” he said. “While I certainly have greater expectations for the senior than for the first-year student, particularly off the water, on the water the expectations are very similar for all.” West Virginia will head to West Windsor Township, N.J., this weekend for its next competition, the Knecht Cup Regatta. Times for the two-day event have yet to be announced. The Mountaineers will also host Duquesne in Morgantown on April 19. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Wednesday April 8, 2015

WVU finishes first in NCAA in steals by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The National Championship has been awarded to Duke, officially ending the madness that is March basketball. The final NCAA stats were released, however, and West Virginia captured the top spot in three categories. According to a tweet sent out by West Virginia basketballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official Twitter page, the Mountaineers led the nation in steals (10.7 per game), total steals (376) and offensive rebounds (16.4 per contest). These are stats nobody saw coming until the nation took notice of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Press Virginia.â&#x20AC;? Head coach Bob Huggins brought a defensive mindset to the team and they followed through. While these defensive stats are something to look back on and be proud of, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to believe the Mountaineers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lead the nation in total steals and steals per

game next season as well. With the majority of Hugginsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team returning, he will stick to his guns and the pressure that West Virginia made famous all season long will carry over into next season. The only two significant players leaving from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team are Juwan Staten and Gary Browne. Both were key players, but with a plethora of up-andcoming guards they can and will be replaced. This past season, Huggins constantly talked about how he was able to have this team â&#x20AC;&#x153;buy inâ&#x20AC;? to the style of play that catapulted them into the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. With players buying in during their first season in the program, you have to believe they will only up the ante next year. As far as leading the nation in offensive rebounds, that statistic is arguably the most astonishing due to the lack of size West Virginia had this season. Devin Williams was the

Mountaineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading forward, doing the majority of the work, but for a small statured team like West Virginia to snag the most offensive boards in all of college basketball, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big-time credit to Williams and the few other â&#x20AC;&#x153;bigsâ&#x20AC;? Huggins has. If West Virginia was able to have the most offensive rebounds this season, with the improvement of players such as Jonathan Holton, Elijah Macon and even Nathan Adrian, the Mountaineers could very well lead the nation again. Williams said following the loss to Kentucky, he would get right to work to further improve his game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, you know, I always had to get it on my own, you know, put the time in myself. I ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t never really been handed nothing,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, you know, this loss for me, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to take a week off or whatever they give us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just going to get right back at it and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I can do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do nothing

about it (the loss to Kentucky) but just get in the gym, watch film and get back at it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuel for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two more years under my belt. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to shoot till my arm falls off.â&#x20AC;? Rebounding on the offensive end allowed the Mountaineers many second chances, chances they needed because of their poor shooting. Perhaps the shooting will improve next season, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not guaranteed. Without the guarantee of stronger shooting, the offensive boards and getting second chance possessions will be very important yet again. It will all come down to how much work this team puts in during the offseason and if the defensive consistency can translate over into next season. But, with low expectations coming into this season leading to a NCAA Tournament run, the expectations are surely higher coming into next year. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

State and Texas, 4-0. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to figure out what caused the sudden drop off in the level of play, whether it be a lack of focus or the fact they were just out-played, but the common denominator remainsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the Big 12 Conference is this programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kryptonite. With the season on its last leg, the Mountaineers must find a way to get back to the level of play they had in mid-February. Time isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on their side, as the Big 12 Tournament kicks off April 23. Before that, however, the Mountaineers will have to go through a tough weekend on the road against Texas Tech Friday and TCU on Sunday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Duke tops Wisconsin 68-63 in final INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Over a matter of mere minutes, the youngsters at Duke grew into salty old pros. Call them freshmen. But please, do not call them kids. Led by Tyus Jones and Jahlil Okafor, Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talented group of potential one-anddoners played like veterans down the stretch, outscoring Wisconsin by 14 points over the final 13 minutes Monday night to grit out a 68-63 victory for the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth national title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It shows a lot about their confidence,â&#x20AC;? said Quinn Cook, Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only senior starter. Okafor, the likely first pick in the NBA draft if he decides to leave, got outplayed by Badgers senior center Frank Kaminsky most of the night but came through big when the pressure was highest. The 6-foot-11 freshman made two straight buckets over Kaminsky, sandwiched between a pair of 3-pointers from Jones, to help the Blue Devils (35-4) turn a onetime nine-point deficit into an eight-point lead with 1:22 left. A furious Wisconsin rally ensued, but it came up short.

Then, it was Okafor on the bottom of a rowdy dog pile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a scene reminiscent of the last time the Final Four was Indianapolis, back in 2010 when Duke edged out Butler in another scintillating final. The Blue Devils also took one here in 1991 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Grant Hill, Christian Laettner squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was heaven,â&#x20AC;? coach Mike Krzyzewski said of the stadium where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now 4-0 in Final Fours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really divine.â&#x20AC;? Krzyzewski now has five titles, alone in second place on the all-time list, behind only John Wooden. Coach K did it with a collection of All-Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; many of whom wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be around too long. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okafor, his buddy, Jones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who finished with 23 points and was named MVP â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and another freshman, Justise Winslow. All might be playing at an NBA arena near you next season. Grayson Allen? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back. The most overlooked of Krzyzewskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-year players stepped up with Okafor on the bench for much of the second half in foul trouble. Allen, the slam-dunk

champion at the high school McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-American contest last year, scored 16 points â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 12 above his average â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including eight straight for Duke after Wisconsin (36-4) had gone up by nine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fun to watch my teammates do what they do,â&#x20AC;? Okafor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have my back the entire season, and it was no different tonight.â&#x20AC;? This was a savvy, calm, collected comeback against the team that wrote the book on that all season. Wisconsin kept its cool two nights earlier in an upset over undefeated Kentucky and looked like it would close the deal when it turned a 31-all halftime tie into a 48-39 lead after Kaminsky made a layup with 13:23 left. Then, suddenly, Duke looked like veterans and Wisconsin looked like kids. The Blue Devils took the lead for good with 4:08 left when Jones made a 3, then fell hard to the ground while tangled up with Bronson Koenig. Dick Vitaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You cannot be serious!â&#x20AC;? On Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next possession, Kaminsky tried to wrap an arm around Okafor in the

paint, but the big fella powered his way through it for the bucket and the foul. He missed the free throw, but a different point was made: Kaminsky had 21 points and 12 rebounds to Okaforâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 and three, yet down the stretch, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frank the Tankâ&#x20AC;? struggled to get a good look and Okafor helped win the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got in some foul trouble, but because of his positive attitude, he made some big plays down the stretch,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. In the seconds leading to Okaforâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first basket, Winslow appeared to step on the baseline. But the whistle never blew and he delivered it to Okafor for the score. That, and the foul count, had the Wisconsin Twitterverse fuming about some calls. The Badgers got whistled for only two fouls in the first half, but the count in the second half was Badgers 13, Blue Devils 6. Duke shot 20 free throws to Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was more body contact in this game than any game we played all year, and I just feel sorry for my guys that all of the sudden a game was like that,â&#x20AC;? Badgers coach Bo Ryan said.
