PASSING A TRADITION Kimble passes musket to next Mountaineer by jacob bojesson staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Michael Garcia is officially the new Mountaineer Mascot for the 2014-15 academic year. Jonathan Kimble handed over the musket during a ceremony Friday. Garcia, a junior political science student from Fairmont, W.Va., was announced as the new mascot last month and made his first appearance in buckskins during the GoldBlue Spring football game Saturday. “I’m trying to represent the state by getting to know the state,” Garcia said. “I want to meet the people and get to know them and represent them as the best Mountaineer that I can be.” Garcia said it’s a dream come true to be the Mountaineer, and he’s eager to start his new job. “I’m really looking forward to the experience,” he said. “Going to elementary schools starting on Monday to see the kids and travel a lot is what I’m looking forward to.” Garcia said Kimble was the inspiration who made him decide to apply to be the new mascot. Garcia and Kimble have worked closely in the last few weeks to prepare Garcia for the job. “I’ve met a lot with Jonathan. He’s really been a great help to me,” Garcia said. “We’ve

Slutwalk WV calls for end of victim-blaming Graduating seniors

gather for annual Zero-Year Reunion

by alexis randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University students and Morgantown residents united in a call to action against victimblaming in sexual assault and rape. Slutwalk West Virginia focused on empowering victims of sexual assault and rape as well as bringing awareness to the practice of victim-blaming. Victim-blaming occurs when the victim of sexual assault or rape is said to have been “asking for it” based on their dress, actions or body language. Isabelle Shepherd, a senior political science and English student, served as an organizer for the event. Shepherd said the walk means a lot to her for One participant’s sign was a simple yet serious message. many different reasons. “I have heard just too many sto- middle school-aged boys and girls ries about people who have been could not tell you what consent is,” raped, and they understand their she said. “That is what creates the rapist doesn’t realize they are a rap- societal problem.” ist,” she said. “This is tragic.

Why do we have to keep doing this?” Kershner served as a speaker Friday and spoke about victim-blaming and its negative effects. “I will wear whatever I please,” she said. “They (rapists) use the way people dress as an excuse because they are not man enough to admit to it and say ‘I am a total jerk, and I am a rapist.’” Ryan Claycomb, a professor in the English department, also spoke, specifically to the men in the audience. “So here is the thing – I am a feminist.

The West Virginia University Alumni Association and the WVU Division of Student Affairs hosted the annual Senior Send-Off: A Zero-Year Reunion Sunday to give the class of 2014 its last supper after four years of hard work. The Senior Send-Off is an annual event during which seniors get to enjoy food, drinks and participate in a number of activities and competitions, while at the same time getting an introduction to how they can stay involved with the University through the Alumni Association. “The most important thing we do is bring seniors together one last time to create some best last memories and let them be a part of something fun with their friends,” said Tara Curtis, spokesperson for the WVU Alumni Association. “It’s a beautiful day, and we hope to have 500 seniors here to celebrate.” Hundreds of graduating seniors made their way to the Erickson Alumni Center for the event. An interactive photo

experience was set up where the students got to take pictures with their friends, and they were asked to pin their next destination in life on a world map. Sixteen teams competed in a cornhole tournament, and there was a bow tie tying competition in honor of WVU President Gordon Gee. With graduation less than a month away, the event marked one of the last chances for friends to get together before splitting up around the world. While most of the seniors felt excitement about the next stage in life, many admitted they will leave Morgantown and WVU with mixed emotions. “Next week is Easter and after that there’s finals, so this is it. We had to come,” said Tina McGugan, a senior finance student. “I’m sad about (not getting to see) the people but excited for the next chapter.” The send-off is supposed to represent the class of 2014’s first reunion as a graduating class. In order to promote the Alumni Association and showcase the

Tri-State psychology conference talks suicide prevention BY Meagan carpenter staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Students from West Virginia University and surrounding colleges attended the 23rd Annual Tri-State Undergraduate Psychology Research Conference hosted by WVU on Friday. Dr. Holly Wilcox, from Johns Hopkins University, was the keynote speaker and presented on the epidemiology and prevention of suicide in adolescents and young adults. Students from schools in West Virginia, Ohio, Maryland, Kentucky and Virginia were present at the research conference, and throughout the year, students put together posters

and presentations about issues in psychology. In 2003, Wilcox graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Ph.D. in psychiatric epidemiology. She is currently an associate professor in both the The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Wilcox’s primary interests are the etiology and prevention of suicidal behaviors and mood disorders among young people. Her research focuses on risk for suicide throughout adolescence and into young adulthood. She is currently involved in a large epidemiological study of suicide attempts on young people who are

originally recruited in Baltimore in first grade and followed into adulthood. Wilcox said she finds access to services and defeating the stigma of suicide are the biggest obstacles for suicide prevention. “If we can reduce stigma for suicide, then that will have a huge impact on young people,” Wilcox said. Wilcox said making sure the programs are sustainable for suicide prevention is the way these programs can make an impact on the lives of those who may be contemplating suicide. Jaclynn Stankus, a junior psychology student, attended Wilcox’s presentation. “I think the topic was important to speak about

because our age group, 1822, is when most mental disabilities and disorders set in,” Stankus said. “It’s one of the biggest instigators of suicide, so talking to our age group to target and implement new ideas and strategies to help prevent suicide is effective.” Stankus said having Wilcox speak helped relate the talk with the different issues and struggles that students in her age group deal with every day. By coming to a college town where drinking and drugs can be a common issue, Wilcox’s goal is to enlighten and relieve the struggles of students who feel pressure and other issues. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

ASPIRE helps high-achieving students prepare for scholarships by sam bosserman staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The ASPIRE Office at West Virginia University believes in the potential of WVU students to become leaders in both the academic and professional worlds. The office has two main goals, and both are aimed at helping students maximize their competitiveness in the realm of higher education. One of the office’s goals is to help students in applying for nationally competitive scholarships, such as the Truman, Rhodes and Goldwater scholarships. In order to educate students about these prestigious scholarships, the ASPIRE office recently invited sophomores with a 3.8 GPA or higher to attend an information session known as ASPIRE Academy. The academy session covered topics ranging from which scholarships to apply to developmental sessions on civic engagement and leadership development. Amy Cyphert, the di-

walk

Continued from page 1 Claycomb said it is the responsibility of men to not buy into the idea that women are objects. “I have been called a slut, and people say I am asking for it every time I go out,” said Alexaundria Clements, a freshman international stud-

rector of ASPIRE, said the academy invited sophomores with high GPAs because they are the ones who will be the most competitive for these types of scholarships. “The reason we invite students in their sophomore year is that they’ve had a chance to establish (themselves) and show that they have strong academic backgrounds,” Cyphert said. “They’re young enough to (still) develop the leadership profile and the community service profile that they’ll also need to be competitive.” The ASPIRE office’s second main goal is to help students with applying to graduate and professional schools. “That’s any graduate or professional school in the world – you name it, we help students apply,” she said. According to Cyphert, even those students who may not have stellar GPAs can still benefit from the office’s guidance. “We are open to everyone, even those students who may not have a high

GPA,” Cyphert said. “Sometimes what we can do is help these students craft a personal statement that explains why their GPA is not a good measure of their graduate school ability.” Rachel Burky, a sophomore invited to the academy session, said she came to the event to find out more about the opportunities out there. “I came today mostly to find out more about the scholarships available,” she said. “As an education major, I didn’t feel like there were very many options for me.” Burky said the event seemed like a concise and effective way for the ASPIRE Office to get across a lot of information about applying to various scholarships. “After an hour of having been here today, I’ve learned about multiple scholarships I could apply for and am interested in applying for,” she said. “After this, I highly anticipate setting up a meeting with ASPIRE and working on some kind of scholarship.” Franklin Roberts, another sophomore at the

academy session, has worked with ASPIRE in the past and said he thinks the office does a great job at helping students prepare to take on the difficult task of applying to scholarships and graduate schools. “I think it’s a great process. Professor Cyphert does a great job and knows a lot about these programs,” he said. “You feel supported, and it’s very personal and engaging.” Roberts said he is planning on applying for the Truman Scholarship as well as several foreign language-based scholarships. “It’s not just about the money but also the opportunities that come with the scholarships,” Roberts said. “Even if you don’t get a scholarship, you’ll have done a lot of good work toward developing important skills.” Cyphert said she encourages anyone looking for help with applying to scholarships or graduate school to email the ASPIRE Office at aspire@mail.wvu. edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

ies student. “That is not the case. Bringing awareness to this is not important. What is intrinsically wrong with wearing what you want to wear on the streets?” Clements said the University needs to look more into rape accusations and take steps toward a more effective system. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Quidditch Club hosts Back-Broom Brawl by hannah wigal staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Quidditch Club hosted the inaugural BackBroom Brawl Saturday at the fields located near the Student Recreation Center. The Back-Broom Brawl is the first Quidditch tournament to be held in West Virginia, and the WVU team hosted Case Western Reserve University, Lock Haven University, Ohio University and the College of Wooster. Lock Haven came out on top in the championship round against Ohio University, with the College of Wooster in third place, WVU in fourth and Case Western Reserve in fifth. “The Quidditch team is an interesting mix between something that is fun-oriented and a club sport,” said Jeff Stevens, WVU Quidditch Club president. “If you’re looking for something competitive and fun-oriented that doesn’t have the time demands or the serious commitment of a club sport, then we’re the club for you.” The WVU Quidditch Club was established in fall 2010 as a floor activity for students residing in the Honors Hall. The team has since developed into a wellknown organization that joined the International Quidditch Association in fall 2013 and recently became a club sport at WVU. The International Quidditch Association is a nonprofit that governs more than 300 universities, high schools and community teams in North America, Europe and Australia. Quidditch is a co-ed contact sport that was developed from the fictional sport in the “Harry Potter” series by British author J.K. Rowling. Quidditch is a physical game played on broomstick and adapted to play on the ground in 2005 in Vermont. The club has traveled to Pittsburgh and Grove City College to play in tour-

naments, and they have also hosted Ohio University prior to the Back-Broom Brawl in Morgantown. Ground Quidditch can get very physical, but WVU Quidditch Club plays a more relaxed style of the game. “We play a less physical version of the game than a lot of teams because we’re more fun-oriented than others,” Stevens said. “Anyone can join regardless of (their) athletic ability. We’ll take anyone – there’s a place for everyone on the team.” Stevens said the team is trying to get more people involved while spreading the fun of the sport. The four positions in the game of Quidditch are the beaters, keeper, chasers and seeker – all of whom are required to carry a broom by their side or between their legs at all times. Three circular goals are placed on both sides of the Quidditch field during play, and teams are awarded 10 points for each goal scored. Vo l l e y b a l l s and dodgeballs serve as quaffles and bludgers, respectively. Quaffles are used to score goals, and bludgers are used to block and hit players from the opposing team. An important component of the fictional game is a flying Golden Snitch; however, in ground play, a designated neutral person serves as the Snitch. This person is required to dress in all yellow with a tennis ball attached to his or her back, and the team that is able to retrieve the tennis ball is awarded 30 points. Quidditch is played until the Snitch is retrieved, but the winner is not determined by the Snitch catch. The team with the most points will win the match.

Window opens on secret camp within Guantanamo

One of Guantanamo Bay’s two courthouses is seen through a broken window at Camp Justice at the Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base, Cuba. On Monday, April 14, 2014 a judge in Guantanamo will open a hearing into the sanity of prisoner Ramzi Binalshibh, whose courtroom outbursts about alleged mistreatment in Camp 7 have halted the effort to try five men in the Sept. 11 attacks, all of whom are held there.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) — Attorney James Connell has visited his client inside the secret Guantanamo prison complex known as Camp 7 only once, taken in a van with covered windows on a circuitous trek to disguise the route on the scrub brushand-cactus covered military base. Connell is allowed to say virtually nothing about what he saw in the secret camp where the most notorious terror suspects in U.S. custody are held except that it is unlike any detention facility he’s encountered. “It’s much more isolating than any other facility that I have known,” the lawyer says. “I’ve done cases from the Virginia death row and Texas death row and these pretrial conditions are much more isolating.” The Camp 7 prison unit is so shrouded in secrecy that its location on the U.S. base in Cuba is classified and officials refuse to discuss it. Now, two separate but related events are forcing it into the limelight. In Washington, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted on April 3 to declassify a portion of a review of the U.S. detention and interrogation program in the aftermath of the Sept. 11,

2001, al-Qaida attack. The report, the release of which is opposed by the CIA, is expected to be sharply critical of the treatment of prisoners, including some now held in Camp 7. And on Monday, a judge in Guantanamo will open a hearing into the sanity of one of those prisoners, Ramzi Binalshibh, whose courtroom outbursts about alleged mistreatment in Camp 7 have halted the already bogged-down effort to try five men in the Sept. 11 attacks, all of whom are held there. Both issues are deeply intertwined. Binalshibh has accused the government of making noises and vibrations inside Camp 7 to deliberately keep him awake, reminiscent of the intentional sleep deprivation, along with other forms of abuse, that his lawyers say he endured at the hands of the CIA from the time he was captured in Pakistan in September 2002 to when he was brought to Guantanamo four years later. Military officials deny doing anything intentional to disrupt his sleep. Prosecutors say his accusations are delusions, though they still believe he is mentally competent to stand trial. His lawyers say he is competent,

but are not convinced officials have adequately investigated his complaints. His mental state is somewhat murky. Court records show Binalshibh has been treated while in Guantanamo with medications that are used for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but he did not participate in a court-ordered mental evaluation in January. The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, could decide to sever Binalshibh from the case against his co-defendants, all of whom are being tried by military commission on charges that include terrorism and murder and face the death penalty if convicted. Another possibility is that his inability to sleep and his fevered outbursts in court, which prompted the judge to order him removed from the courtroom in December, are a result of post-traumatic stress from his treatment at secret CIA interrogation centers known as black sites, said Anne Fitzgerald, director of the research and crisis response program for Amnesty International. “The problem is that because everything is done in secret and there is so little opportunity for even the lawyers to have access to their clients it’s difficult for

anybody to figure out what is actually happening,” said Fitzgerald, who is at the base to observe the sanity board proceedings. Camp 7 has never been part of the scripted tours of Guantanamo offered to journalists and there are no published photos. It’s not even mentioned on a military media handout about the detention center, which otherwise notes that the military “conducts safe, humane, legal and transparent care and custody of detainees.” Military officials, while insisting that they adhere to international human rights standards, refuse to describe Camp 7. “I’m not even functionally allowed to discuss the place,” said Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale, a Pentagon spokesman. A few facts have come out through government reports and court testimony. It apparently holds 15 of the 154 prisoners at Guantanamo. Those held in Camp 7 include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who has portrayed himself as the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attack and is on trial with Binalshibh. Also held there is a Saudi prisoner charged with orchestrating the deadly bombing of the USS Cole in 2000.

The men are apparently held in solid-walled cells – as opposed to the cage-like structures used soon after the U.S. began using Guantanamo as a prison in 2002 – that are intended to limit their ability to communicate with each other, and they are allowed up to four hours per day of exercise, according to a Government Accountability Office report. The secret camp also is apparently falling apart. Marine Gen. John F. Kelly, commander of Miamibased Southern Command, told Congress that Camp 7 has become “increasingly unsustainable due to drainage and foundation issues” and needs to be replaced. But officials balked at the proposed $49 million price tag and the military scrapped the idea for a replacement and is making repairs out of existing funds, said Army Col. Greg Julian, a spokesman for Southern Command, which oversees Guantanamo. James Harrington, a lawyer for Binalshibh, said he does not believe problems with the foundation – which Julian described as “heaving and shifting” – are responsible for the vibrations and sounds that his client says keep him awake. The judge granted all five

defense teams a request to visit Camp 7 one time for up to 12 hours to inspect conditions. Because of an ongoing dispute over the rules for handling classified evidence however, only Connell, who represents defendant Ammar al-Baluchi, has been inside. He went in August, riding in the van with windows covered in heavy-duty paper and a makeshift interior barrier so he could not see the driver. It is not clear whether one visit closely monitored by prison authorities would reveal the cause of Binalshibh’s distress. His previous military lawyers, Navy Cmdr. Suzanne Lachelier and Lt. Richard Federico, were allowed inside Camp 7 in November 2008 for about two hours. With Connell, they are the only other defense lawyers known to have ever been inside the facility. They could not determine a cause for his complaints. The secrecy and security, Lachelier recalls, seemed excessive then and she remains skeptical. “There’s no way to explain the security measures that they use from the perspective of the safety of the guards or the safety of the detainees, beyond that they must be hiding something.”

‘Shameless’: the most addictive show on TV Hannah Chenoweth columnist

As any dedicated fan knows, the season finale of a beloved series is a big deal. Prior to the big event, there is usually some casual stalking of every single cast member on Instagram, Twitter and whatever else we can get our paws on. We might even watch old episodes to get excited. Then there is speculation with our friends on what could possibly happen. We try to debunk what the producers want us to think and concoct our own brilliant theories. Sunday night saw the finale of season four of “Shameless,” a Showtime series whose name accurately reflects the characters’ actions. “Shameless” takes place in the South Side neighborhood of Chicago and follows the dysfunctional antics of the Gallagher family. Father Frank Gallagher takes the word alcoholic to a new level, leaving oldest siblings Fiona and Lip to care for themselves and the other four kids. Anyone who watches the series for five minutes can tell you that it contains enough drinking, drugs, sex and vulgar language to top any show on television.

But is the vulgarity the sole reason people are so obsessed with “Shameless”? I believe it is only one of the many fascinating aspects of the show. “Shameless” was the best performing first-year drama on Showtime and only continues to grow in popularity, as the show is signed for a fifth season. There are so many reasons for the adoration of this incredible series. “Shameless” is real – as real as it gets. No, it’s not reality television; which tends to be extremely detached from most people’s reality, ironically. It’s not a show about spoiled kids in Beverly Hills, plastic-looking housewives or any other of the hundreds of shows depicting wealth and drama. In a society that exaggerates political correctness and stifling speech so as not to ever offend, this show couldn’t care less. It’s addictive to see what will come of the characters’ mouth next – nothing is off-limits. The Gallagher kids are far from one-dimensional. The characters are so deeply developed, and the difficult times they face strip them down to the core, making viewers truly connect with them. They’ve grown up with a mentally ill mother who abandoned them and an

alcoholic father who does nothing to help them in life. We see not only the financial burden that shackles the family but also the emotional baggage each Gallagher carries throughout all the drama of daily life. The show is a true portrait of how addiction affects every member of a family. The fourth season of “Shameless” has been especially dark. We’ve watched each sibling hit a rock bottom and grapple with self-destructive behavior as Frank is on his death bed. Viewers find themselves emotionally invested and rooting for all of the siblings to get their acts together. Although the show gets heavy, there are even more times when it leaves you crying in laughter. Joan Cusack is brilliant playing the hilarious role of Sheila, whose comedic timing couldn’t be more perfect. The Gallaghers’ neighbors, Kev and V, also provide comedic relief. Just when you think the show cannot get any more ridiculous, something comes out of absolutely nowhere that leaves you speechless. “Shameless” is an absolutely twisted series that will leave you on the edge of your seat every single time. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Showtime’s ‘Shameless’ is one of the most addictive shows on television.

Will Stephen Colbert fill Letterman’s shoes? RYAN VAN BUREN COLUMNIST

Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report,” was rewarded the new host of “The Late Show,” replacing storied David Letterman. Colbert’s name has been swirling around the social media world as one of his jokes went

bad this past week, resulting in a Twitter hashtag #CancelColbert that gained national popularity. Clearly all of the people he offended didn’t just fail to get his show canceled. A week later the announcement was made Colbert will be replacing one of the most successful and respected men in TV history. Letterman, who has been the host of “The Late Show” since 1993, announced last

week he would be stepping down in 2015. “Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career,” Colbert said. “I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead.” He might not have dreamed of such an opportunity, but Colbert will be sitting behind a desk once occupied by Letterman – nothing like

his Comedy Central set. Just this past year we have seen Jimmy Fallon and Seth Myers receive their own late night shows, but none have had to fill the shoes of a man who holds such respect throughout the TV industry. Everyone was wondering what Letterman himself thought of the man who would be replacing him in the upcoming year. “Stephen has always been a real friend to me,” he said.

www.hollywoodreporter.com

“I’m very excited for him, and I’m flattered that CBS chose him. I also happen to know they wanted another guy with glasses.” Colbert’s show has remained on Comedy Central since 2005 following the great John Stewart, so receiving ratings and viewers shouldn’t be a problem for the multitalented Colbert. “Stephen Colbert is one of the most inventive and respected forces on television,” said Leslie Moonves, the president and CEO of CBS. “David Letterman’s legacy and accomplishments are an incredible source of pride for all of us here, and today’s announcement speaks to our commitment of upholding what he established for CBS in late night.” Comedy Central will be losing a star in Colbert who has entertained America for years. Any fan or frequent viewer of “The Colbert Report” can’t help but admire the work Colbert puts into his show every night. Colbert delivers his fans current news in the USA and around the globe in a comical way only few can demonstrate. The compliments and public support for Colbert seem to be as if Letterman was gone starting tomorrow instead of his planned departure in 2015.

“Multitalented and respected host, writer, producer, satirist and comedian who blazes a trail of thoughtprovoking conversation, humor and innovation with everything he touches,” said Nina Tassler, the chairman of CBS Entertainment had this to say about Colbert. “He is a presence on every stage, with interests and notable accomplishments across a wide spectrum of entertainment, politics, publishing and music. We welcome Stephen to CBS with great pride and excitement, and look forward to introducing him to our network television viewers in late night.” As a fan of late night television, I could not be any more excited to see what new and fresh element Colbert will bring to “The Late Show.” Colbert has already announced he will not be using his Comedy Central character we are accustomed to seeing, so America is in for an entirely new Colbert more designed for the CBS audience. CBS is losing a TV personality no one will ever forget, but like with all great things, they eventually come to an end. For CBS to bring in a young, bright and entertaining mind like Colbert can only take the show to new, unexplored heights. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

EDITORIAL

Slutwalk aims to educate about rape, abuse, domestic violence “It’s not me, it’s you.” That phrase is the basic underlying motivation for Slutwalk West Virginia, a march up Spruce Street and a national movement. The organizers of these events intend to teach women the clothes they wear are not the problem, the men who interpret that as a desire to hook up – regardless of the woman’s actual intent – is the problem. Every two minutes, another American is

sexually assaulted, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. Each year, about 237, 868 people are the victims of sexual assault. 60 percent of sexual assaults are not reported to police, and 97 percent of rapists will never spend a day in jail. This year, students and faculty alike have recognized awareness is no longer the point of these walks – placing blame where it belongs is. Most men believe

if a girl is wearing a short skirt or acting flirty at the bar means she wants to go home with him. This is often not the case. Women choose an outfit for any occasion for myriad reasons, and getting raped is rarely among them. They shouldn’t be penalized, judged or harmed for wearing what may make them feel confident or pretty, especially in college, when most females are especially vulnerable and self-conscious.

Instead, we should begin looking in a different area. Most often, sexual assault occurs at parties where alcohol and drugs run rampant. No one – male or female – can consent under these conditions. The blame can’t be placed entirely on the men who commit these crimes, though. The blame should also be placed on police and school officials who disregard victims of sexual assault and don’t follow up on the accusations.

The blame should also be placed on the education system. Most people don’t know what counts as sexual assault. This should be a large part of any schools curriculum starting on the middle school level all the way up to college introduction classes, for everyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation. Once everyone understands what sexual assault means and what is included, then perhaps the number of cases will decrease.

In the meantime, some sort of education program should be set up specifically targeted toward men to teach them exactly what consent means and when and where it cannot be given, without assuming all rapists are men. While events such as Slutwalk are commendable, they just don’t quite seem to be enough in a time when everyone knows rape and sexual assault occurs. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you see many different situations unfold. Your willingness to give 100 percent marks your most successful ventures. If a circumstance does not go in the direction you would like, at least you’ll know that you did your best. If you are single, you will be delighted by your choices; however, you often might experience discomfort when someone pulls the reins too tight. The person you choose will need to have similar freedom and intimacy needs. A good period to meet this person will be anytime after spring. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH You could have a heavy underpinning of fatigue as you start your day.

Your dream life likely has been quite active, which could leave you feeling somewhat uneasy. You might react to a close partner by unleashing a snappy comment. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You might be more irritable than you realize. Listen carefully to feedback from an associate without passing judgment. You are likely to cast a sour perspective on any matter right now. A sudden insight could put you on a steadier course. Tonight: Do not push. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HH Know that you are not seeing the big picture right now. You often strive to gain a more creative perspective. Today you will need to detach from any ingrained views; you will create a more dynamic plan if you do.

Brainstorm with a trusted buddy. Tonight: Fun and games. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH You tend to come from a secure place, even when you’re in an argument. Keep an eye on someone’s offbeat energy, and acknowledge what you need to do in order to keep the peace. For some people, it could be as simple as doing some spring cleaning. Tonight: At home. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Initiate a conversation, but give yourself an exit strategy if the other party seems to be unduly difficult. You are unlikely to run into a receptive audience, as those around you might be unusually aggressive or sensitive. Tonight: Go along with someone’s suggestion. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HH Your concern might be your bud-

get. Certainly a risk seems tempting. You might not be able to say “no.” If you were to gamble and lose, what would the damage be? Would you be able to handle it? If you feel you could, then consider it. Tonight: Your treat. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You could find others to be somewhat difficult. Might you be coming across more provocatively than you had intended? Your fuse has been short lately, and news might be overwhelming, but know that all’s well that ends well. Tonight: Whatever makes you happy. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HH You might want to defer any interactions with certain people to others. You often suppress your anger, and it easily could be triggered. Unexpected demands at work or from

others could send you into a tizzy. Treat yourself as a fragile object today. Tonight: Not to be found. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You flourish when loved ones and friends come together. Gather your cohorts together for a meeting, as it could trigger a flow of ideas. Deal with a partner directly. Do not negotiate a financial matter. You know what is good for you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHHH A take-charge attitude will get you far, and it also will allow you to greet unusual success and change. Still, someone might be undermining you on some level. Use care with a personal matter. You inadvertently could trigger a situation. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You might want to step out of your comfort zone in order to find the answers you need. Confusion seems to surround communication. Someone could be looking for you in the wrong spot or at the wrong time. Confirm plans. Tonight: Do not second-guess yourself. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Be direct with a partner. It appears as if you can’t make a change without this person by your side. On some level, you believe that you can charm someone to your side of an issue. Realize that you could be taken aback by what you trigger. Tonight: Be nice and naughty.

Mountain Stage provides variety

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band delivers their performance in front of the crowd gathered for Mountain Stage.

BY STEPHANIE MESSINGER A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia Public Broadcasting radio music show Mountain Stage was recorded in front of a large audience at the Creative Arts Center Sunday night. Among those performing during tonight’s broadcast, – Tommy Malone, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Joan Osborne and Keb’ Mo’ – a wide variety of genres was presented. The audience was packed with people of all ages who

seemed pleased throughout the entire performance by the upbeat musicians. Tommy Malone and his band were first to perform. The bar was set high with his first song, “Home.” Malone was extremely personal throughout his performance and started out with some high-energy vocals to set the scene for the show. While tuning his guitar, Malone said, “This is where I’d tell a joke, but I’m not good at telling any,” garnering laughter from the crowd. Malone ended his perfor-

mance with what he called a “metaphorical innuendo” with the song “Bumblebee” that ends with a “little juice,” according to the star. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band was next to take the stage and definitely kept the audience entertained with their sense of humor and energetic songs. They left the audience on their feet for most of their performance, which definitely showed their New Orleans roots. The band ended their time on stage with a “Morgantown shoutout,” while

telling listeners to “not be shy and shake it” to their final song. Joan Osborne and her band were next to perform. She performed a soulful set consisting of romantic love songs that talked about the challenging aspects of relationships. The band played the opening track of their new album, “Love and Hate.” Osborne’s cool dance moves and red pumps matched her soulful, smooth performance. The audience welcomed and applauded her

Keb’ Mo’ waves to the audience after his performance at Mountain Stage. amazing vocals even after she said to have had some issues with her voice before the show. Keb’ Mo’ was the last artist to perform with his band, but he took the stage with confidence knowing he wouldn’t leave the audience disappointed. The audience was still excited as they yelled out song suggestions for Mo’ to sing, but he played some newer songs he wanted to try out first. His smooth performance kept listeners clapping until the very end as

they asked him to play more. “Keb’ was mesmerizing, and we loved how the Dirty Dozen band had everyone on their feet and dancing at the end,” said Jenna Armstrong, an audience member. “It was a great show.” The show ended with a final combined performance, which called for one last standing ovation.

Chocolate Lovers’ Day draws crowd to local businesses by maria solano a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

The day chocolate enthusiasts had been waiting for finally arrived Saturday when Main Street Morgantown hosted the 15th Annual Chocolate Lovers’ Day. The one-day event encouraged the public to enjoy the magic downtown businesses had to offer while allowing them to indulge in a variety of chocolate creations. “We came to the first Chocolate Lovers’ Day 12 years ago and decided to come back this year,” said John Ireland, a participant who came with his wife. “We saw the ad for it online and came again from Washington, Pa.” This event only cost $5 per person (children younger than 5 years old had free entry), and participants were able to sample tasty chocolate treats at each business while accumulating points for the grand prize drawing. “It’s a great way to get people downtown and get them

acquainted with the shops and everything downtown has to offer,” said Charles Mcewuen, owner of Tanner’s Alley. The event started at 11 a.m. and continued until 3 p.m. in downtown and historic Wharf District. The Lebanese Bistro in the Wharf District hosted registration for Chocolate Lovers’ Day from 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Saturday to allow participants to have more time to register by skipping lines downtown and to give participants an opportunity to earn three entries for the grand prize. “We tried to spread out registration because we have so many people come every year and didn’t want to have long lines at each location,” said Terri Cutright, executive director of Main Street Morgantown. “Businesses in the Wharf District also decided to participate so we chose a registration location in the Wharf District, as well.” Sixty-three businesses participated in this year’s festivities, and for the first time, each

attendee had the opportunity to enter the grand prize drawing up to three times by collecting at least 90 points across downtown and the Wharf District. “I don’t know what some of these places are, so I think it’s a good way to get people to try new places and go to different stores that Morgantown has that they might have not known about before,” said Virginia Cunningham, a WVU physics student. These extra options provided several opportunities for participants to get closer to the grand prize: four tickets to Hershey Park in Hershey, Pa. To be entered into the drawing, participants had to return their hole-punched brochure to either Arts Monongahela or Monongalia Arts Center no later than 3:30 p.m. Participants left Chocolate Lovers’ Day with a stomach full of chocolate and an appreciate for Morgantown’s downtown businesses. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Star City Volunteer Fire Department’s BrewFest samples wide variety of beer westley thompson a&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The Star City Volunteer Fire Department’s spring BrewFest celebration was held this weekend at Mylan Park. The two-day event began Friday at noon and wrapped up at 2 a.m. Sunday morning. The cost of entry was $25 for persons older than 21 years old and $20 for designated drivers and those who were underage. Upon entry, guests were given a wristband and a glass, which was designed to look like a mason jar and had the fire department’s logo on it. The event was held indoors, and the right and back walls were lined with special trailers with beer taps on them. More than 50 different types of beer were served at the event. Guests were able to walk around and sample as many of the different beers as they pleased. Plus, you get to keep your sampling glass. The variety was quite astounding. Many nationally recognized breweries were represented, such as Samuel Adams, Flying Dog, Blue Moon and Magic Hat, along with the Budweiser family

of beers. Magic Hat’s Dream Machine, a hybrid beer dubbed by the company as IPL, or India Pale Lager, was particularly nice, as well as Sam Adam’s classic Summer Ale. The two local breweries really stole the show, though. Morgantown Brewing Company came prepared with a wide variety of their beers for guests to try. Personal favorites were the light and crisp Alpha Blonde and the simple and pleasing Two Weeks Lager. Their Zach Morgan’s Pale Ale was an excellent IPA, and the thick, dark and flavorful Coal City Stout was another excellent beer made by the local company. Mountain State Brewing Company also brought their “A” game, bringing four different beers for guests to enjoy. Their Cold Trail Ale, a blonde style beer, was delicious and pleasant. Their Almost Heaven amber ale was another excellent beverage. Its clean, caramel ending left the taster on a high note. The fire department had an hourly shuttle for pickups and drop-offs throughout Morgantown, eliminating the hassle of trying to find a ride. It was interesting to dis-

cuss the different types of beers with friends and other guests at the event. Being able to try different flavors back to back really helped tasters pick up on the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between beers, styles and brands. There was also a DJ who supplied music for most of the afternoon. He played a classic rock block, playing songs from the likes of Ozzy, Nirvana, Rush and more. Later on, after a brief karaoke session, he switched to a more top-40 style playlist, keeping the guests entertained. Mick Posey/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM In the evening, BrewFest switched over to having live Jesse Sedlock, a brewer at Morgantown Brewing Company, serves up a cold one to an eager consumer during Saturday’s BrewFest. music. The food was typical concession-stand fare with hot dogs, hamburgers and nachos available. The fire department also offered raffle tickets and instant win cards to guests. Trying and discussing the different beers was a great experience that I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a drink or two. The fire department holds this fundraiser twice a year during the fall and spring. Be sure to check out their next BrewFest in fall 2014. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

World Music Showcase displays student music from around the world BY WESTLEY THOMPSON A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

West Virginia University’s World Music Showcase was held Friday in the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in the Creative Arts Center, sharing student-produced music from around the world. The show displayed different percussion ensembles, each featuring WVU students. The groups included the WVU Steel Bands, the WVU African Music and Dance Ensemble and the WVU Taiko Ensemble. The show was opened by the WVU Morning Steel Band, one of the two steel bands featured. This band consists of new members with little to no prior knowledge about playing steel drums. Steel pans, commonly referred to as steel drums, are percussion instruments originating in The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, an island nation off the coast of South America. The instruments were originally made from repurposed oil drums, which is what the nickname “steel drum” references, since they aren’t actually drums in the musical sense. The Morning Band did an excellent job. They played three songs: “Suzie,” “Sa Sa Yea” and “Mango Salsa.” The pans have an upbeat and summer sound to them, and the songs were a pleasure to hear. The WVU Afternoon Steel

Band followed. They played four songs: “Bum Shaker,” “Soul Sauce,” “Little Secrets” and “Mystery Band.” The Afternoon Band is similar to the Morning Band but consists of students who have had experience playing steel pans. The songs were performed skillfully. They seemed complex to play, but the students displayed an artful mastery of their instruments. “My favorite part was the steel bands,” said Matt Davis, a junior mechanical and aerospace engineering student. The music was upbeat and brought to mind images of sun-soaked, tropical beaches. The music gives you the summer mindset, even if the weather won’t cooperate 100 percent just yet. After both steel bands, the WVU African Music and Dance Ensemble performed. They performed two song and dance combinations: “Soli” and “Gahu.” “Soli” is a dance drumming that comes from West Africa and is traditionally used during ceremonies heralding manhood within the Malinke culture. “Gahu” is a recreational dance of the Ewe people in Ghana. All the dancers made a circle on stage and dance with arm and foot movements, while the drummers pounded away in the background. The entire ensemble was well-synchronized, and this made the performance quite impressive to watch. “Very intense, very cool,”

Shannon McKenna/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The WVU African Music and Dance Ensemble performed a variety of songs during the World Music Showcase Friday night. said Joseph Power, engineering student. The WVU Bata Ensemble, a three-man graduate student group, made a special appearance after the African Ensemble. Bata is a Cuban drumming style with roots in Santeria, an Afro-Cuban religion. The special drums are double-headed, which allows for complex melodies and rhythms to be created. The two-hour concert wrapped up with the WVU Taiko Ensemble. Taiko are

traditional Japanese drums with a heavy and deep sound. The first song, “Echos of History,” was part-song, partperformance art. The drum ensemble was split into two groups on stage. Members of the groups switched positions with each other and were constantly moving throughout the performance. The groups battled each other in a sort of call-and-response style. “I liked the Taiko Ensem-

ble,” said Derek Prunty, a geology student. The second song performed was a sword dance. While the drummers played their song on the back portion of the stage, special guest Tadashi Kato performed a Japanese sword dance using different blades. His skill at dancing with the deadly weapons looked like a oneman sword fight. The World Music Showcase was a very entertaining time. Every student and

faculty member involved seemed to show great passion for the instruments and culture with which they worked. The world bands are open to all students at WVU, no matter their major, so if a particular style catches one’s fancy, be sure to pursue it. The passion and enthusiasm demonstrated paid off, as each ensemble was wellorchestrated and provided an overall great show.

‘Captain America’ holds off ‘Rio 2’ at the box office

NEW YORK (AP) — “Captain America” continued to flex its Marvel muscle at the global box office, as “The Winter Soldier” took in $41.4 million domestically and $60.6 million overseas. The strong second-week performance for the Walt Disney release in North America was enough to narrowly edge 20th Century Fox’s “Rio 2” in a springtime battle of sequels. The animated Amazon jungle tale “Rio 2” debuted with $39 million, according to studio estimates Sunday, almost exactly the opening weekend total of the 2011 Oscar-nominated original. But “Captain America” has grown considerably in stature since its 2011 original, “The First Avenger.” With a global cumulative total of nearly $477 million, “The Winter Soldier” has (in two weeks domestically, three weeks internationally) easily surpassed the $370 million total of “The First Avenger.”

“Rio 2,” with a voice cast including Anna Kendrick and Jessie Eisenberg, also played well internationally. In its second week of release overseas, it made $62.5 million. The overall box office for the year is up more than 7 percent over 2013’s record box-office haul. The month of April has been propelled especially by the summerstyle release of “The Winter Soldier” and a number of less likely successes. Just holding in the top five was Lionsgate’s teen sci-fi franchise-starter “Divergent,” which added $7.5 million in its fourth week to bring its cumulative total to $124.9 million. Lionsgate announced Friday that the third installment in the series (a sequel for 2015 is already in the works) will be split into two releases. The final book in Veronica Roth’s young-adult trilogy, “Allegiant,” will be made into two installments, one to open in March 2016,

the other in March 2017. Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released on Monday. 1.”Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” $41.4 million ($60.6 million international). 2.”Rio 2,” $39 million ($62.3 million international). 3.”Oculus,” $12 million ($1.3 million international). 4.”Draft Day,” $9.8 million. 5.”Divergent,” $7.5 million ($23.2 million international). 6.”Noah,” $7.5 million ($36.2 million international). 7.”God’s Not Dead,” $5.5 million. 8.”The Grand Budapest Hotel,” $4.1 million ($7.2 million international). 9.”Muppets Most Wanted,” $2.2 million ($2.2 million international). 10.”Mr. Peabody and Sherman,” $1.8 million ($3.8 million international).

Wide receiver Kevin White cuts up the field during the Gold-Blue Spring Game Saturday.

WVU offense wears down defense, Gold team defeats Blue 37-27 in Spring Game multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

Senior quarterback Paul Millard completed 14 of 19 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns Saturday to lead the West Virginia Gold (Offense) Team over the Blue (Defense) Team 37-27 in the program’s annual Gold-Blue Spring Game. Millard completed his touchdown passes to senior wide receiver Kevin White and halfback Elijah Wellman. “I think I improved this spring,” Millard said. “Obviously there are more things I need to work on, so I’ll take this and go into the summer

working hard.” Junior college transfer Skyler Howard and Logan Moore also took reps at quarterback. Howard threw for 70 yards and a touchdown while Moore threw for 109 yards and also rushed for 38 yards. None of the three quarterbacks turned the ball over. After a spring in which head coach Dana Holgorsen wasn’t happy with how the quarterbacks were playing, he elected to keep the quarterbacks out of a protective jersey for the Gold-Blue game, which enabled the defense to hit them just like everyone else. “They weren’t making the progress that we wanted

them to,” Holgorsen said. “So about six practices ago, we said let them get hit. The sense of urgency picked up.” Lined up next to and behind the quarterbacks, WVU’s running backs all had strong afternoons. Redshirt junior Dustin Garrison led the team in rushing with 47 yards on 10 carries to cap a very solid spring. The Gold Team struck first when speedster Mario Alford returned the opening kickoff 99 yards into the endzone for a touchdown. Alford took reps at kick returner throughout the spring, so he was happy to make an impact on special teams Saturday.

“Coach (Lonnie) Galloway tells me about it all the time,” Alford said. “Me being a dual guy, helping on special teams also can really help the team.” Following Alford’s opening kick return, the first-team defense stood out and shut down Gold Team’s offense. The first four series of the game resulted in the offense punting. First-teamers Nick Kwaitkoski, Ricky Rumph and Isaiah Bruce each had five tackles in the scrimmage. The defense showed a good grasp of understanding new defensive coordinator Tony Gibson’s multiple scheme. “Right now we’re where we want to be,” said first-

team defensive end Kyle Rose. “But we’re not where we need to be for the season, but the spring game went well. The scheme looked good, and we didn’t have too many busted assignments.” The starting defense also got sacks from KJ Dillon, Darrien Howard and Edward Muldrow. In the kicking game, both Josh Lambert and Nick O’Toole continued their spring success. O’Toole averaged 46.5 yards per punt while placing two inside the 20-yard line, while Lambert knocked in three field goals including a 53-yarder. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

After a particularly disappointing 4-8 season, optimism around the West Virginia football program is slowly returning. An infusion of new players and coaches has helped, but can the Mountaineers truly survive another substandard season in 2014? More to the point, can WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen? Fans across the state and beyond have voiced their concerns and frustrations with the fourth-year head coach, a fair amount even calling for his dismissal amidst the trainwreck that was the 2013 season. But spring is in the air, and many of the frustrations have cooled off – at least for now. However, that’s mainly because every team in every conference across the nation is still undefeated in April. Tensions are temporarily relieved, and even the most cynical fans have at least a few reasons to believe this year could be different. But make no mistake, if West Virginia opens the 2014 season with four consecutive losses (the season’s schedule is far from a walk in the park, if you haven’t noticed), Mountaineer fans will be calling for Holgorsen’s head quicker than a “Game of Thrones” king. Even if WVU turns in another 7-6 season come fall, there will probably be a reasonable contingent campaigning for a change at the helm, but I think those people would be mistaken. Some might call me a Dana-apologist or a Holgorsen-homer, but I honestly think if he can get this year’s WVU team to at least a .500

Daryl Worley experienced trial by fire in his freshman season in 2013. Just months after he was removed from suiting up for William Penn Charter School Friday nights, the cornerback was thrust into a prominent role in West Virginia’s secondary and forced to learn on the job in the crucible that is the Big 12. In his 11 games and five starts in the 2013 season, Worley got the experience of dealing with some of the nation’s best receiving talent week after week. There were ups and downs in his first season, but head coach Dana Holgorsen said Worley has taken the lessons he learned in 2013 to heart and made his presence felt going up against some of the Mountaineers’ top offen-

sive talent throughout their spring practices. “Daryl Worley has had a phenomenal spring. Mario (Alford’s) confidence is a little down right now because he’s had to go against him. The kid makes play after play,” he said. Senior wide receiver Mario Alford quickly established himself as one of West Virginia’s most explosive offensive weapons, catching 27 passes and averaging more than 20 yards per reception in his first season with the team. When the Mountaineers take the field for practice, Worley is often matched up against Alford. The two have been able to challenge each other in the offseason, and Alford said he believes there are big things waiting for Worley in the near future. “He’s making me better, and I’m making him better.

Going up against great corners like Worley is only going to make me better,” he said. “I see a bright, very good future for him. He’s long, and he’s got great coverage speed, so he’s going to be pretty good.” That kind of competition in practice can go a long way in preparing a young player for what they will see in live game situations. Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said Worley has taken full advantage of his opportunity and is making the whole secondary better as a result. “Daryl Worley is as good as anyone I’ve ever had at this age. Coach Mitchell has done a great job of coaching him and getting his technique right,” he said. Gibson said, although he is only a sophomore, Worley’s experience has helped him to become one of the most respected players on

the defensive side of the ball. “He’s done a tremendous job. He’s a team leader. Being a sophomore, kids follow his lead. It helps them make plays,” he said. Since Gibson’s first encounter Worley when he was being recruited, he said he knew the young cornerback had a special quality that would make him a dynamic player on the college level. “He has it. He’s very focused and comes from a great family and high school program. He’s got everything that you want in a player,” he said. In 2013, senior safety Darwin Cook was the unquestioned veteran leader of the West Virginia defense. With Cook gone, West Virginia’s secondary is largely void of veteran leadership, save for junior Karl Joseph, who started 25 straight games to start his career.

Ultimate Frisbee fails to qualify for regionals by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s men’s ultimate Frisbee team will have to wait another year for their chance to go to regionals after finishing last in the conference championships. WVU Ultimate held conference championships in Morgantown this weekend for the first time in team history. “It wasn’t the result we wanted, but it was a good weekend. I thought we put on a pretty good tournament despite the weather, and we were able to showcase Ultimate in Morgantown, which really hasn’t been done before,” said head coach John Terry. “It’s always a little hard at the end when a loss ends a season and you see the seniors.” WVU didn’t finish well Saturday for the pool portion

of the championships, only winning one game against Carnegie Mellon. “We had a huge win yesterday over Carnegie Mellon on universal point,” said captain Glen Smithberger. Although WVU ended Saturday with a great win over a conference rival, the momentum didn’t last to Sunday. WVU opened up the tournament against Penn State. WVU dropped the first match to Penn State. PSU went up 4-1 early on in the game and never looked back defeating the Mountaineers, 12-2. WVU renewed the Backyard Brawl, playing the defending two-time national champion Pittsburgh in the second round. Pitt and WVU battled early on. WVU led 4-3 at one time, but Pitt eventually broke free and never looked back. Pitt defeated WVU 125, but the five points scored against Pitt are the most

WVU has scored against the national contender in team history. “We were trading points with Pitt pretty early on, and they are the defending national champions so that is pretty big for our program,” Smithberger said. WVU faced Carnegie Mellon University in the third round, still looking for its spot in regionals, but WVU failed to gain any momentum and lost 12-7. Following the loss to CMU, WVU had one more chance to punch their ticket into Regionals. WVU faced Shippensburg, who was also vying for the final spot. Shippensburg defeated WVU 15-2 and became the final team to make it to regionals. “We weren’t so good against CMU the second time around this weekend, and we definitely had a tough loss against Shippensburg that ended our season,” Smithberger said.

The wind caused some concern for some of the players Sunday. “The wind was pretty tough today, and when we only have a plastic disc, there isn’t as much control,” Smithberger said. Seven teams competed for six slots for Regionals. Pittsburgh finished first in the tournament, defeating Penn State in the finals. Pitt, Penn State, CMU, IUP, Edinboro and Shippensberg will all be moving on to regionals in two weeks. Although WVU didn’t have the end result it was looking for going into the weekend, Terry said he is still impressed with the improvement he has seen during this season. “We had a good season. We tried to teach the younger and older guys things that would build a solid foundation. It will hopefully prepare them for next year,” he said. Only one team will move onto to nationals from each

region. The WVU women’s Ultimate team, the Mountain Mamas, won their conference title Sunday and will be moving on to regionals in two weeks. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

ing season, but he has the talent to lead a defensive turnaround in West Virginia’s secondary in 2014. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WALP

Continued from page 8 record and a bowl bid, he actually deserves to keep his job. But there also has to be some kind of improvement shown – that’s the key. The West Virginia football program simply means too much to too many people for the Mountaineers to have another eight loss season. Even Holgorsen’s $11 million buyout likely won’t be able to save him then. In fact, the upcoming season may be the defining one for Holgorsen as a head coach in many ways. It’s no secret he inherited a team in 2011 that he really had no part in building. Almost all of the coaches and players were there before him, but things have changed pretty drastically since then. This really is Holgorsen’s team now, and I believe it’s ultimately fair he either reaps the benefits or consequences of its successes and failures in 2014. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Oklahoma State sweeps WVU over weekend by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

No. 18 Oklahoma State entered Hawley Field for the first time in school history this weekend and exited with a three-game sweep of the West Virginia baseball team. The Cowboys defeated WVU in the series opener Friday night, 6-0, before winning 9-2 and 7-4 Saturday and Sunday, respectively. West Virginia has now dropped seven games in a row and holds a record of 16-15 and just 2-6 in the Big 12. “I’ve been excited for (the team) to see Big 12 baseball,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “That’s what they saw. All of the guys (Oklahoma State) ran out there were really, really good pitchers. They made the most of their opportunities.” Oklahoma State improved to 26-10 during the weekend. The Cowboys outhit and outpitched the

Mountaineers all weekend in Hawley Field’s inaugural Big 12 series. Cowboys’ starter Jon Perrin opened the series Friday night pitching 6.1 innings of no-run ball, allowing just five hits. He struck out four and earned the victory. WVU starter Harrison Musgrave had another fine outing, pitching into the eighth inning and allowing just three runs on five hits, but was unable to get any run support from the Mountaineer offense. OSU held just a 1-0 lead going into the eighth inning, when the Cowboys exploded for four runs, thanks to some timing hitting along with multiple Mountaineer errors. The pitching in Saturday’s game two of the series wasn’t nearly as pretty as the night before. The West Virginia bullpen got roughed up again in the late innings after starter Sean Carley exited after seven innings. The junior allowed just one run on eight hits, striking out six in 127 pitches.

However, the WVU bullpen allowed seven runs in the final two innings, which blew the game open. Oklahoma State used just two pitchers on the evening, starter Tyler Buffet (4.2 IP) and Blake Battenfield (4.1 IP) in the victory. “Anytime a starter goes to the mound, you want to take your team as deep as you can,” Carley said. “There’s always pressure because we want to go out there and do our best. But we’re OK with where we are at, and I’m still confident with the guys that we’ve got.” The Mountaineer offense, despite the loss, was able to get going Saturday. WVU accumulated 12 hits including two three-hit performances by shortstop Taylor Munden and catcher Cameron O’Brien. OSU completed the sweep of WVU Sunday afternoon in a 7-4 fashion. After a wild first inning that saw West Virginia starter Michael Bennett last just 0.1 of an inning, the Cowboys scored four runs on

just three hits. The Mountaineers answered with two of their own in the bottom of the first after Ryan McBroom’s RBI single and Jacob Rice’s RBI walk. WVU was unable to climb out of the early hole, however. The team used five pitchers including reliever Ryan Tezak who threw six innings and 103 pitches in the middle innings. Outfielder Bobby Boyd went 4-for-5 in the loss while McBroom added two more hits to finish the day with three hits and two RBIs. “Our guys are pretty resilient,” Mazey said. “They’ve made through a lot. They aren’t going to lack any confidence. Over the course of a log season, you get little streaks like this, and it’ll turn for us at any time.” West Virginia will be back on the diamond Tuesday night when the Mountaineers host Ohio State. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Mountaineers complete Knecht Cup Regatta by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University rowing team competed in West Windsor, N.J. at the Knecht Cup Saturday and Sunday. Head coach Jimmy King said this regatta has always been a focal point of the Mountaineers spring schedule. It occurs directly in the middle of the season, giving his squad a good estimate as to where they are right now. “The Knecht Cup Regatta has always been a mainstay of our spring schedule occurring at the midpoint of our season,” King said. The Knecht Cup marked WVU’s third event of the spring, after the Mountaineers competed in a dual contest against Indiana University Bloom-

ington on Lake Lemon in Bloomington, Ind., April 5. WVU tallied four secondplace finishes against the Hoosiers. West Virginia entered the two-day event, which featured crews from 70 different schools across the country competing in 34 events. First up for the Mountaineers Saturday was the varsity four. The Mountaineers “A” boat finished in third with a time of 7:58.01, trailing behind Boston College, who took first at 7:43.70 and Temple, crossing in 7:56.80. In the second varsity four, West Virginia’s boat finished in fourth, 14.73 seconds behind the winner, Tulsa, who crossed in 7:52.91. Following the Golden Hurricanes was George Mason, Buffalo and then the Mountaineers finishing in 8:07.64. The Owls took last with a

time of 8:31.26. The varsity eight landed WVU a fourth-place finishing in a time of 7:04.04. The Eagles took the heat with a 6:54.70 finish, followed by Bucknell and TU. After competition ended Saturday, the Mountaineers advanced in certain races Sunday, including the varsity four third final. WVU finished fifth, only Connecticut finished behind them. The first-place finish went to New Hampshire at 8:00.42, as Bucknell, North Carolina and then West Virginia followed behind with a time of 8:13.25. The novice eight grand final earned the Mountaineers a third-place finish with a time of 7:17.02. Winning the race was Drexel at 7:14.69, followed by Buffalo in second. In the petite final of the second varsity eight, WVU

found themselves in last place, recording a time of 7:07.18. Old Dominion won the race in 6:59.98. The final race for West Virginia was the varsity eight third final, which landed the Mountaineers a fourth-place finish, crossing in 7:17.06. Fordham took first at 7:09.84, followed by Temple and the Huskies. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
