BOG confirms Sabatino for 15th seat

Next in line denied, but President Capel says decision is in line with “democratic process” by jake jarvis managing editor @newsroomjake

“I, Elizabeth Sabatino, do solemnly swear that I will defend and represent the voices of the student body above myself…” she said before taking the 15th seat on the Student Government Association’s Board of

Governors.

Sabatino, a candidate with the Youth Party, replaced now former-Governor Amanda Hutchison who resigned from her position, four days after her re-inauguration, citing “academic workload” and the need to focus on her admittance into graduate school.

Morgantown ranked eighth-best college town for dating by emily leslie staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Morgantown was recently ranked as the eighth-best college town for dating by Dating Advice based on its party school reputation and the high number of fun date ideas available in town.

Hayley Matthews, editor-in-chief of Dating Advice, wrote “22 Best College Towns for Dating” with the intention of bringing focus to the college towns that deserve more credit for how much they offer their students.

“Really the whole point of these articles is that we are happy to recognize towns that maybe people haven’t thought about visiting or going to or attending that college. We like to give recognition where we believe it is deserved, and we are happy to provide some more information for people,” Matthews said.

When naming the best college towns for dating, Matthews took into consideration the number of students that attends each university, the amount of fun activities to do and places to eat in each town. Matthews also referenced College Ranker’s and Travel and Leisure’s lists of best college towns, as well as College Atlas’ list of top party schools, in which WVU currently happens to sit at No. 4.

“In Morgantown, there’s tons of things to do – it’s a really lively town. People can do the bar culture thing, they can do the outdoorsy thing.

There are a lot of options for people. So we thought it would be great to recognize that. In terms of West Virginia University, we saw that there are 54 percent male students and 46 percent female students, so maybe the college is better in terms of females to find somebody,” Matthews said. “We just thought it was a great place for young people to be able to do something interesting

and meet new people.”

When WVU students were asked what they thought about Morgantown being ranked as a top dating location, there were mixed reactions. Connor Hicks, a freshman advertising student, said he did not think Morgantown was a great town in terms of dating.

“As far as places to go on a date, I don’t think there’s much besides bars and clubs. As far as nice restaurants, there’s not much, especially within walking distance of High Street,” Hicks said.

Hicks expanded on his point by explaining that dating tends to be a different experience for freshman students.

“At least my kind of people, like in freshman year especially, the people that are just getting here and are trying to party – they are just trying to find themselves, so you can’t really find someone else until you find yourself. So once they figure out that they need to cool it down with the partying and focus on school, I feel like (dating) is better,” Hicks said.

Carlee Lammers, a senior print journalism student, thinks Morgantown is a great place for dating once students are able to find someone they share common interests with.

“Yeah, there’s a lot of the party scene, but there are a lot of cool things to do outdoors that can make good dates. Dating is expensive, especially for guys, but there are fun things to do around town that are relatively inexpensive,” Lammers said.

“There are some really cool things to take advantage of in Morgantown that maybe other places don’t offer. It’s (easier) if you share interests with someone because there’s so much to do here.”

imous secret ballet, the Board did not confirm Samuel Richardson, the 16th highest vote-getter, to serve as Hutchison’s replacement.

Sabatino was confirmed unanimously through a secret ballot.

“I’m extremely disappointed in their decision,” Richardson said. “Most importantly, I’m disappointed

for the 814 voters who did cast their ballots for me and were denied the opportunity to see me serve.”

Sa b at i n o re c e i v e d 10 fewer votes than Richardson.

“I guess (the decision) shows the Board of Governors has the power they want to have,” Richardson said. “They have a yes or

no vote and if they decide they want to deny the will of the voters, they have that choice.”

If a seat on the Board of Governors becomes vacant, whether through resignation or impeachment, the seat will be filled by the candidate with the next highest number of votes with a majority confirmation vote

from the BOG, according to Article X1, Section 1 of SGA’s constitution.

Student Body Vice President Ashley Morgan said the Board met privately with Richardson to ask him questions about why he wanted to serve. Student Body President George Capel was not

Students honor the lives of 147 fallen Kenyan students with vigil by cameron gleason correspondent @dailyathenaeum

In light of the recent attacks at Garissa University in Kenya that claimed 147 lives, the West Virginia University African Students Association held a candle light vigil in Woodburn Circle on Wednesday evening to honor those who passed away.

As students finished lighting their candles, they proceeded to gather around one another in a large circle before graduate student and Kenya native Solomon Maingi took the floor to elaborate on the brutal attacks and how he was personally affected by it.

“Around three, four, or five in the morning they

started by shooting a guard in the gate of the college, went into a Christian Union early morning meeting, got everyone, cornered them into a dormitory, and just started shooting them randomly,” Maingi said. “What these kids were doing, the kids who died, were exercising their right to pursue an education and a better life in a free society, and that’s what makes me angry as a Kenyan. As a Kenyan, I have a lot of pain in my heart right now. ” Proceeding Maingi’s speech students went around in the circle and read aloud the students’ names who lost their lives in the Garissa shootings.

“We might not know their stories, we might not have personal information about

them, but (we’re doing it) to recognize that they’re not just a number, they’re human beings,” said Teboho Mabuka, president of the African Students Association. “We tend to just make them into numbers and we forget that these are human beings who had families, and their families probably sacrificed a lot to have them where they are. To lose them in such a senseless way, for me, was a bit hurtful.”

In response to the tragedy, many students and concerned individuals all around the world have been speaking out against violence, which Mabuka believes is a beneficial action.

“A lot more people have been vocal, a lot more people have been speaking out, and that alone does not stop

everything but I think what it does is open up conversations, it opens up things that are happening and brings them to light,” Mabuka said. “When you have a lot more people conscious about issues they stand up, and I think at this point that is what people should continue to do. If you can write letters to your senators about things that are happening in your community, do that, be conscious about what is happening and don’t sit on the side.”

The African Students Association hopes to be able to continue offering support and raising awareness in any way possible over the remainder of the semester and semesters to come. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Students meet local law enforcement at Coffee With a Cop by cameron gleason correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Local police officers invited West Virginia University students to Coffee With a Cop Wednesday afternoon in the Mountainlair, an event which offered students the chance to get to know the individuals who strive to keep crime off the streets of Morgantown.

The main goals of Coffee With a Cop was to show students that law enforcement officials are people too, as well as to end false stereotypes about police officers that students may carry as a result of past experiences.

West Virginia remains least happy state in US by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

It seems that almost every other day West Virginia has been ranked highly on some negative list or another.

So far this year, Gallup has reported that the state has the highest amount of mood-altering drug use, has the fourth worst economic climate, has the lowest payroll to population rate and is least happy of all 50 states in the nation.

These studies, of course,

are coupled with yearly reports of West Virginia’s high smoking and obesity rates.

These results beg a certain question: Why is West Virginia always so high on these lists?

Dr. Thomas Bias, the interim co-director of the Health Research Center at WVU and a West Virginia native, said that some West Virginians get stuck in a vicious cycle.

“You have people who say that they’re unhappy, so they take drugs to better their mood,” Bias said of the relationship between W.Va.’s high drug

use and low happiness.

“It’s almost a natural connection. It also plays into some of the cultural discussions of the economic decline. You look at a rural town where maybe there was a booming industry at one point. Now, there’s a lot of unemployment and young people don’t have anything to do, so they all turn to things like using recreational drugs and selling drugs to make money.”

Another reason could be that since West Virginians undergo a lot of manual labor in their jobs, they turn to more drugs for relief.

However, not everyone believes West Virginia is particularly bad compared to other states.

“If you look at the national averages, we aren’t too far off from the majority,” said Tyler Preece, a sophomore exercise physiology student.

Preece’s argument has footing. While researching Gallup’s happiness study, one would find that West Virginia is less than six points lower on the scale than Alaska, the happiest state.

However, this cannot be applied to some studies like Gallup’s Economic

Confidence study. On a scale from -100 to +100, West Virginia received an index score of -45, while the national average received -15.

Yet all is not lost for West Virginia. In the past year alone, the state has insured 6.7 percent more citizens (the fourth highest increase in the country), dropping the percentage of uninsured West Virginians to 10.9, a score well below the national average.

Bias said while the state has its problems, West Virginia has made a lot of improvements in the past 15

years, including a number of new health policies and a decline in youth smoking.

“As we see local communities develop with an eye toward health,” Bias said, “we’re going to see improvements, even in things like happiness and mood.

Physical exercise is actually one of the best things you can do (to) increase mood.”

IN this April 14, 2015, photo, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton meets with local residents at the Jones St. Java House in LeClaire, Iowa. The board of the Clinton Foundation says it will continue accepting donations from foreign governments but only six nations, a move aimed at insulating presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton from controversies over the charity’s reliance on millions of dollars from abroad.

Clinton Foundation to continue accepting some foreign money WASHINGTON (AP) — The board of the Clinton Foundation said Wednesday night that it will continue accepting donations from foreign governments, but only from six nations, a move that appears aimed at insulating Hillary Rodham Clinton from controversies over the charity’s reliance on millions of dollars from abroad as she ramps up her presidential campaign.p Clinton, who resigned from the foundation’s board last week, has faced mounting criticism over the charity’s ties to foreign governments.p The board of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation said that future donations will only be allowed from the governments of Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom — all nations that previously supported the chari-

ty’s health, poverty and climate change programs.p While direct contributions from other governments would be halted, those nations could continue participating in the Clinton Global Initiative, a subsidiary program that encourages donors to match contributions from others to tackle international problems without direct donations to the charity.p The foundation also will begin disclosing its donors every quarter instead of annually — an answer to long-standing criticism that the foundation’s oncea-year lists made it difficult to view shifts and trends in the charity’s funding. Former President Bill Clinton and other foundation officials have long defended the charity’s transparency, but the new move signaled sensitivity to those concerns, particularly as his wife begins her race for the

White House.p Last month, while she was still a foundation board member, Hillary Clinton defended the family charity to questions about its reliance on donations from foreign governments, saying the foundation had “hundreds of thousands of donors.”p An Associated Press analysis of Clinton Foundation donations between 2001 and 2015 showed governments and agencies from 16 nations previously gave direct grants of between $55 million and $130 million. Those governments include the six nations that will be allowed to continue donating. The remaining 10 are Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Kuwait, Italy, Brunei, Taiwan and the Dominican Republic.p Foundation spokesman Craig Minassian said that under the new disclosure

policy, “the Clinton Foundation is reinforcing its commitment to accountability while protecting programs that are improving the lives of millions of people around the world.”

But he also insisted that the old annual disclosure policy went “above and beyond what’s required by voluntarily disclosing our more than 300,000 donors on our website for anyone to see.”p Hillary Clinton had previously agreed with the Obama administration to limit new foreign donations to the foundation while she served as secretary of state, but at least six nations that previously contributed still donated to the charity during her four-year stint. In one case, the foundation failed to notify the State Department about a donation from the government of Algeria.p The foundation’s board

began discussions over the past two days about altering some of the charity’s procedures in an effort that officials said was aimed at improving transparency without harming fundraising for critical programs. The board’s decisions were first reported Wednesday night by The Wall Street Journal.p Clinton Foundation officials had hinted in recent weeks that the organization was considering new limits on foreign government donations after several media accounts this year raised questions about the foundation’s reliance on those practices.p Republican Party critics and media accounts targeted the foundation’s reliance on funding from several Mideast governments that suppress dissent and women’s rights — concerns that Hillary Clinton’s State Department focused on during her stint

between 2009 and 2013.p But there are potential problems even among some of the six governments that will be allowed to continue providing direct donations to the foundation.p The Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs, which has already given the foundation between $250,000 and $500,000, has also pushed for the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, which environmental critics say could spread carbon emissions.

President Barack Obama has yet to decide on the project, which would span several U.S. states, but he has already vetoed one bill aimed at swiftly approving the plan.p Foundation officials said the charity is not involved in that issue at all and has a “strong program” aimed at curbing reducing carbon emissions.

tion,” Richardson said. “If I really wanted to serve, why didn’t I apply for an executive position?”

He said he didn’t apply for a position because he wasn’t sure if he would be attending WVU for the 201516 school year. Sabatino did apply for an executive position, according to Press Sec-

retary Elizabeth Barnhart.

Barnhart said in a meeting with The Daily Athenaeum that many of the members of the Board didn’t know much about Richardson before the events transpired and that they had to “look him up on Facebook.”

But Richardson said he

met privately with Capel and Randy Jones, the chief of staff, to discuss how difficult it would be to get approved by the Board and that there was animosity among the current Board who wanted Sabatino to serve instead of him.

The constitution does not state what happens if the BOG does not confirm the candidate and Capel said he wasn’t aware of any precedent that allowed the Board to move on to the 17th highest vote-receiver.

Capel said he found this action “in course with the democratic process.”

Attorney General Matt Blair said he agreed with the decision to continue on to the 17th highest vote-getter.

“I think I can probably speak for the board on this — I know they don’t want to impede the democratic process by any means,” Capel said. “Which is why, even

though in the constitution it it may not state (to) continue down the line, they chose this strategy to make sure it was candid and that it was approved by the student body in the best way.”

Capel would not say whether he supported the Board’s decision to not confirm Richardson, but said it “must move forward in the interest of the student body.”

Though the night was long for the Board, Hutchison was happy to leave early.

“From the beginning, I was struggling with my decision to run again,” Hutchison said. “I thought every milestone we hit in the campaign —getting the T-Shirts or going out and getting the signatures or when we announced our candidacy — I kept thinking, ‘When is it going to hit me?’”

Hutchison said it never

hit. She said she never felt the passion like she did in the 2014 campaign but fed off the energy of the other candidates in the MAD Movement to continue on with the process.

“It just never came,” she said. “Just the thought of sitting up on that board in essentially just misery — I didn’t want to bring that around the new kids.”

Capel said he’d like his administration to examine any holes left in the constitution as it stand now.

According to Article six, Section 10 of SGA’s constitution, “The Judicial Board shall have the power to overrule legislative actions by the Board of Governors in instances of unconstitutionality, conflict, malfeasance, or abuse of authority.”

Richardson said he would appeal the decision.

editorial

Enabling affordable future housing The Charleston Gazette ran an Associated Press story on its website Tuesday entitled, “Why your rent will rise again this year.” The article notes a 14 percent climb in rental rates across the U.S. since 2010. Additionally, there is expected to be another 3.3 percent rise by next year.

West Virginia University students are no strangers to high rental rates. According to a study published by the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at West Virginia University, the cost of living in Morgantown in the first quarter of 2014 was 5.6 percent higher than the national average - with cost of housing at 14.2 percent higher than the national average.

As any student will tell you, there are a lot of factors that go into choosing an apartment. Qualities such as location, amenities, security, size and furnishings (or lack of ) influence one’s search and definitely influ-

ence the price of the property you choose.

Due to limited on-campus housing options, students are often forced into the rental world. But they are not unassisted by the University. The WVU Housing website features a place to search for apartments as well as roommates. WVU also offers several apartment living options to students.

The University should avoid this rent-raising trend and keep student needs in mind.

According to its website, University Place, at its priciest, offers students a two bedroom, one bath, fully furnished apartment for $835 a month. At the lowest, students are paying $650 for a three bedroom, one private or semi-private bathroom, fully furnished apartment. As one of the newest options on the Downtown campus, this complex offers amenities that students were, until recently, hard-

#opposingvoices

pressed to find.

As of now, there are very few complexes comparable to those owned by the University. All the University’s properties offer more than the standard “space plus utilities” formula. They also (mostly) offer a convenient location and walking distance to WVU’s campuses. These features can make or break an apartment experience.

To see these prices increase, as the AP article suggests, would be disheartening to students looking for convenience and security around campus.

The Editorial Board would strongly encourage the University to keep students in mind when setting their rates. As the primary target for these complexes, helping students to keep their experience both pleasant and affordable will serve the WVU community in the best possible way. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Promotion of STEM Field Study:

HELPING STUDENTS PREPARE or STIFLING CREATIVITY? The STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) field is often emphasized on college campuses across the U. S. due to the prevalence of job and career options associated with degrees of scientific nature.

When one googles the term “stem field jobs,” they are faced with more than 59 million hits. A similar search for “liberal arts jobs” will garner just over 40 million.

The Job Rated Almanac scores 200 jobs from best to worst.

For 2015, every job in the top 20 can be related to a STEM field. With all of this push into these career paths, what happens to those seeking degrees in more liberal artscentered fields?

Many believe they are still necessary to create wellrounded employees (similar to universities requiring students to take general education courses), while others believe the STEM push is important to fulfill the job market’s demand in a timely manner. wikipedia.org

Necessary for changing job market, employment molly robinson columnist @darthmolly22

Perhaps it is because I am a female biology major, but it seems like all I hear about anymore are things like “opportunities in the STEM fields” and “promote STEM fields to little girls.”

The idea of the STEM field has become a bit of a buzzword. Parents are encouraging their children to look into jobs in this career sector, schools are developing more robotics and engineering clubs and boy-toy companies are starting to market their building blocks and pulley-andlever toys to little girls, all in an effort to reinforce the idea of STEM learning early on in an individual’s life.

I recognize the STEM field is not the be-allend-all of success, but it is a pretty good start.

Check out the world around us; I guarantee the person next to you is texting someone an emoji, Googling summer job internships on a PC or scrolling through Pinterest on their iPad. Technology is only going to become more influential, and every year a new app or computer type takes the scene and propels us further into a completely

DA

technologized world.

And guess what? That’s going to open up a whole lot more jobs than it already has.

We will always need buildings and new upgrades on machines, so we will always need more engineers. Doctors and researchers are always using these technologies and machines in these buildings to find cures for cancer, AIDS and any other devastating diseases. To do this, they are using mathematical formulas from mathematicians around the globe, using calculators created by programmers.

I don’t need to harp about how integral STEM fields are to our life; it is obvious. To say these fields don’t interplay with each other, that a STEM field is only cold, hard science and has little to no dimensionality, is false.

Granted, the STEM movement should in no way belittle any other field type. The world will always need politicos, business tycoons and opinion journalists.

These things are here to stay, certainly, but there isn’t the immediate need for them right now; their sector is not seeing immense amounts of growth as society also grows.

STEM fields are not

recruiting people on the basis of taking them out of the things they truly enjoy; it’s not like an army draft. Sure, STEM fields need workers, and will continue needing workers in an increasingly linear way in years to come, but this in no way takes away from where your true talents may lie. STEM fields may have a more direct benefit to society, certainly, but the world would not operate without great talent in other fields, as well.

In fact, many have positive words for the STEM field as of late for its recent promotions to incorporate women. STEM field positions have long been held by men, though recently it appears women are starting to enter into the science and math fields.

Still, they are underrepresented at only 24 percent, but this is a vast improvement from previous years.

At this point, any movement incorporating equality and fair recruitment is A-OK in my book.

STEM jobs are a burgeoning field and show immense promise for upward mobility, both on an individual basis and for the benefit of society as a whole. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Additional liberal arts training beneficial for self, career abby humphreys columnist @obiwan_baloni

As an English major, I’ve had to justify my choice of study to friends and family many times over the years.

When distant relatives at holiday get-togethers ask how I’m spending my time at college, I’m usually bombarded with questions and comments such as, “What do you plan to do after graduation?” and the everdreaded, “You know, lots of lawyers started out with English degrees.”

I attribute the recent societal push for “practical” careers as the basis for these comments. A liberal arts degree is no longer viewed as a path to personal enrichment, but rather assured unemployment. If a degree doesn’t yield an immediate career students can flow into after graduation, it’s typically considered a waste of time and money.

Over the past 30 years, technological advances have made careers in science, engineering and mathematics extremely lucrative. The number of computer science and information technology jobs have grown exponentially, and as the importance of these two career paths increase in the upcoming years, it makes sense why so many pursue college degrees in related subjects.

However, in doing so, stu-

dents are given the wrong impression of what the future job market will demand of new workers.

The original purpose of colleges and universities was to expand one’s intellect and provide education beyond what one could learn in trade or office jobs. Curricula focused entirely on the liberal arts often included lessons in foreign languages and ancient philosophy. Few careers required college degrees, so attending a fouryear university was most often a personal endeavor made in the interest of becoming a well-rounded individual, not to achieve a better-paying job position.

Today’s college scenario is just the opposite, which has led to problems no one previously anticipated. Scientists are proving unable to communicate effectively with one another and lack basic leadership skills upon graduation. Computer science majors can type code into a box, but aren’t required to exercise their creative muscles and figure out new ways to apply their programs in their careers.

Because STEM students focus solely on the immediate application of their degree, colleges are seeing more and more burnt-out graduates with one skill to their name and bleak views of the future. As the average person now holds 7-10 steady jobs in their lifetime (according to the Wall Street

Journal), adapting to new job requirements and being able to offer a variety of skills to employers will come in handy in later years.

STEM students aren’t simply machines designed to specialize in one area only, and treating them as such is ultimately bad for business. Companies are beginning to understand workers with wide skill sets require training in the liberal arts, and are now hiring more English, psychology and communications majors than ever to benefit their company. To receive a liberal arts degree is to be required to think both critically and analytically, which goes beyond simply absorbing information and spitting it out onto a Scantron.

If college students truly want to receive a timelessly valuable education, they will consider a STEM-related major with a liberal arts minor (or vice versa). By pursuing both paths, students will learn how to make connections between the two areas of thought and can contribute meaningfully in both fields.

Law school doesn’t have to be in the future of any liberal arts student. These degree paths have already proved themselves worthy of pursuing on their own, and I trust they will become increasingly more valuable as time goes on. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Bluegrass musician Larry Keel to play 123 Friday

By Chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The innovative “Flatpicking Legend and Master Fisherman,” Larry Keel, will look to captivate audiences with The Larry Keel Experience Friday at 123 Pleasant Street.

Growing up in southwestern Virginia, Keel was raised on music. With bluegrass-adoring parents, Keel was a product of his family’s tradition. Keel’s mother and father enjoyed playing bluegrass music, and the artist said there were always other players stopping by his home.

“All of my family comes from the Blue Ridge Mountains, where music and mountain heritage run deep,” Keel said. “Music definitely runs in my blood.”

Through family, picker friends and great music from records, Keel was immersed in the bluegrass scene from the start. Keel’s mountainous upbring-

ing provided the musician with an eclectic and varied array of musical influences from legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia and Doc Watson. As for the inspirations behind his lyrics, Keel said he draws from his surroundings, the people he meets and the places he goes.

Keel incorporates various other musicians to bring to his onstage gigs. Keel’s core band, The Larry Keel Experience, features vocalist Will Lee on the five-string bluegrass banjo and Jenny Keel on bass. The Larry Keel Experience also transforms into “Larry Does Jerry,” where Keel only performs music by the late Grateful Dead ringleader Jerry Garcia. Keel’s sound incorporates bluegrass, country and jam band aesthetics that allows the musician to play with a range of different artists. His musical journey has paired him with jam band greats Keller Williams, Infamous Stringdusters, Leftover Salmon and The String Cheese Incident.

Since his start, Keel has released 14 albums and is featured on 10 other records. Keel’s most recent release, “Classic,” features his progressive string band, Natural Bridge. “Classic” features musicians Lee and Jenny Keel, along with mandolinist Mark Schimick.

Keel’s diverse outlook and personality has allowed the artist to venture into new concepts outside of the realm of music. He recently launched his new website, “Fishin and Pickin,” which combines his love of sport fishing and intense live music. Keel’s website displays current news in the world of music and fishing and hosts what’s called a “Bragging Board,” where photos of trophy trout are showcased. A love of the outdoors and fishing has allowed him to devote time toward fishing workshops and camps. The musician also hosts his own “Trout and Tunes” event, which takes place in West Virginia in May of each year.

Keel is currently work-

Larry Keel’s musical style is influenced by the mountains he grew up around and the diverse music he was exposed to. ing on recording two new CDs and collaborating with artists all over the country.

These days, the “Flatpicking Legend” said he just enjoys playing whatever is in his head and soul, even if it doesn’t turn out to be the typical bluegrass sound.

Keel said he enjoys breaking the mold. The musician said he’s looking forward to returning to Morgantown and taking the stage at 123 Pleasant again.

“We absolutely love West Virginia,” Keel said. “(It’s) wild and wonderful every

time.”

The Larry Keel Experience will showcase its tunes 9 p.m. Friday at 123 Pleasant Street. For tickets, visit http://123pleasantstreet. com/. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Take a walk on the sweeter side of life as Main Street Morgantown hosts its 16th Annual Chocolate Lovers’ Day on Sunday, April 18.

The one-day chocolate spectacular will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Downtown and Historic Wharf sections of Morgantown. The event is open to the public, with entrance fees of $5 per person. There is no entrance fee for children under the age of 5.

The entrance fee allows registrants to sample chocolate treats at each business, while collecting points that count toward the grand prize drawing. Four tickets to Hershey Park in Hershey, Pa., is the prize this year.

Registration for the event begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Monongalia Arts Center at 107 High Street, Tanner’s Alley at 416 High Street and

Arts Monongahela at 201 High Street. Registration to the chocolate extravaganza ends at 2:30 p.m.

Treats for the event include brownies, chocolate chip cookies, cake pops, homemade fudge and many more treats for those with a sweet tooth.

Many businesses, restaurants and organizations from all over Morgantown will be participating in the event. Some of the participants include Arrow Gift Shop, First Baptist Church, West Virginia University’s Public Relations Student Society of America chapter, Coni & Franc, Greater Morgantown CVB, My Radio Network, Morgantown History Museum, Waterfront Place Hotel and the American Cancer Society & Mon County Relay for Life.

WVU PRSSA, one of the organizations participating in the event, is promoting a cause along with its desserts.

“At the event, we will have

a booth with chocolates for all chocolate lovers to try, a card-making station for kids and a small flyer that will work to raise awareness about organ donation and the importance of being an organ donor,” said PRSSA member Julie Merow.

April is National Donate Life Month. The month is dedicated to encourage Americans to register as organ, eye and tissue donors, as well as recognizing those who have saved lives through organ donation.

“The event will offer a fun atmosphere with venders from across Morgantown, and our booth will explain the importance of organ donation and how you can help someone or be helped yourself from it,” Merow said.

Chocolate Lovers’ Day has been a highly successful event in prior years, bringing in more people each year and allowing them to get a cultural experience in Morgantown, as well as

discovering what all the city has to offer.

In order to become a participating business in the event, the business must sign up to participate online at the Main Street Morgantown official website.

The 60s were far out dude, the FCC cracked down on obscenity & more

by Chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

For Skin Health

In Basel, Switzerland, Swiss chemist Albert Hoffman accidentally went on a trip. Working as a pharmaceutical researcher, Hoffman accidentally consumed a large dose of LSD on April 16, 1943. Hoffman first synthesized LSD to obtain a respiratory and circulatory stimulant. While synthesizing, Hoffman accidentally absorbed a small quantity of LSD through his fingertips. Hoffman said his experiences were like being in a dreamlike state.

“With eyes closed, I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors,” Hoffman said.

The early 1960s were for-

ever grateful for Hoffman’s accidental discovery until 1965 when the manufacturing, use and possession of LSD became illegal in the United States.

On this day in 1987, the FCC cracked down on what they defined as “obscenity.”

The FCC established “seven dirty words” and tightened the consequences on networks that continued to show indecent and offensive material. Networks that continued to abuse the FCC’s laws received detrimental fines and many lost their licenses. As for the seven deadly, dirty words, you’ll have to look those up for yourself.

Happy birthday to NFL head coach Bill Belichick.

Baby Belichick was born in Nashville, Tenn., in the spring of 1952. Belichick attended Wesleyan Univer-

sity in Middletown, Conn., where he played tight-end and center. Belichick has held coaching positions with the New York Giants, New York Jets and even the Cleveland Browns, where he went 5-11 a season before he took the New England Patriots to Super Bowl XXXI as an assistant coach.

Although the New England Patriots lost to the Green Bay Packers, Belichick completely transformed his coaching reputation in 2001, going from 5-11 to 11-5 and leading the Pats to a victory over the “Greatest Show on Turf” Saint Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. Since his birthday, Belichick has been rumored to be busy spying on other teams’ plays and scheming to deflate balls. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Local legal interest group to host benefit concert By jillian clemente A&e Writer @DAILYATHENAEUM

A local legal-interest group hopes its rocking country vibe will help bring in the big bucks this Thurs‑ day evening at 123 Pleas‑ ant St. The West Virginia PIA Benefit Concert, which hopes to bring awareness to the fellowship program at the West Virgnia Univer‑ isty College of Law, will also promote the public’s inter‑ est in law.

The Public Interest Advo‑ cates (PIA) sponsor fellow‑ ship programs for WVU law students each year. Many of these fellowships impact local communities across West Virginia.

This state is filled with coal miners, children and elderly that need to be le‑ gally protected. The Public Interest Advocates group

at WVU is there to fill that need, both through prac‑ tical help and monetary funds.

“We take organizations that couldn’t normally af‑ ford to hire someone to help them for the summer and match them with law stu‑ dents who need, not only the experience doing legal work, but they also are able to get paid for it, so they can afford to do it,” said Jenny Thoma, a second-year law student at West Virginia University.

Thoma is a fellow in the program, meaning she spent her summer sup‑ porting landowners in the coal industry. She was lo‑ cated in eastern Kentucky and defended landowners from coal companies that were impeding on owners’ mineral rights. It really hit home for Thoma.

“Even though I’m from

Hardy County, where there fortunately is no coal min‑ ing,” Thoma said, “just by virtue of being here and liv‑ ing in this state, I’m very sensitive to the effect that it’s had on this state and the people here.”

Ben Hogan, another sec‑ ond-year law student at WVU and the treasurer of PIA, said, “Being an advo‑ cate for people who don’t have a voice is really what it comes down to.”

PIA sends 14 current law students and two alumni to do these types of jobs for the elderly, sick and any‑ one who needs legal de‑ fense council for a summer.

“It’s a nice symbiotic re‑ lationship because I could never afford to do some‑ thing for no pay whatso‑ ever - there’s no way to do that,” Thoma said. “These organizations need help but they don’t necessar‑

ily have the funds to hire someone, so we raise funds to make that basically hap‑ pen - so that we can get ex‑ perience and also so that those places can have extra help.”

That’s why PIA exists - for all of these law students that have those same problems.

“That’s what the public interest is all about. Even though it doesn’t quite do it, its an effort to level the playing field,” Hogan said.

“In essence, (it’s) stand‑ ing up for the people who just don’t have the financial means for legal help and are obviously less sophisticated in the legal sense.”

In the past, a spring auc‑ tion fundraiser has been most successful for the orga‑ nization. This past auction brought in almost $30,000, according to Hogan.

“This is a totally new thing,” Hogan said.

Local bands will perform at 123 Pleasant Street after venue owner L.J. Giuliani donated the concert spot for the event. Evan Johns, a member of four-piece Dog and Gun, will play an alternative country solo with help from Sophia Re‑ hak on vocals. Johns grad‑ uated from the WVU Col‑ lege of Law in 2014 and was a member of the PIA. Cur‑ rent second-year law stu‑ dents Deak Kersey and Owen Reynolds will join 2014 College of Law gradu‑ ate Jim Rector in a musical group known as Deak and the Freaks, playing an eclec‑ tic mixture of folk and pop.

His style even incorporates ukulele, harmonica and ka‑ zoo sounds as well.

A three-piece group, Blood Ghost includes mem‑ bers Nick Stewart, Kirk Fos‑ ter and Brandon George.

Blood Ghost has a very

danceable sound, and they boast an all-original set.

Other acts include Noo‑ dles and the Soup, which features three of the four current members: Arthur Rizer, associate professor of law; John Taylor, associ‑ ate dean for Academic Af‑ fairs; and Charles MacKay, a teaching assistant and di‑ rector of undergraduate advising for the WVU De‑ partment of History. Noo‑ dles and Soup plays classic rock covers from the 60s to present day.The final set of the night is The Kidd Broth‑ ers Bluegrass Band, featur‑ ing second-year law stu‑ dent Aaron Kid and his kid brother, Andrew.

All of these bands’ perfor‑ mances will raise money for PIA at 7 p.m. tonight at 123 Pleasant Street. Suggested donation to enter is $5. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Jack White takes break from tour Model Gisele retires from runway

JACK WHITE CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) ‑ Rocker Jack White says he’s about to take a long break from performing live but not before holding five shows in the five states where he hasn’t yet played.

The former White Stripes frontman isn’t saying which states those are but specula‑ tion is widespread the per‑ formances will take place in Alaska, Idaho, the Dakotas and Wyoming.

The performances will be announced at 8 a.m., lo‑ cal time, on the day of the show. Tickets will cost just $3, be limited to one per person and available only

turksandunderdog.com

at the venue door starting at noon on the day of the show, according to White’s website.

The five upcoming per‑ formances will be White’s first acoustic-only shows.

Joining him will be fiddler Fats Kaplin, singer-fiddler Lillie Mae Rische and bass guitarist Dominic Davis.

The quartet will use ribbon microphones, a technology dating to the 1920s that remains val‑ ued for its amplification characteristics.

White’s publicist, Mi‑ chele Hug, declined to pro‑ vide more details Wednes‑

day about the shows or why White is planning a break from touring.

White has been touring since he released his second solo album, the Grammynominated “Lazaretto,” last summer. His last as-yet of‑ ficially scheduled show will be Saturday at the Coach‑ ella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.

White and now ex-wife, Meg White, launched the White Stripes in the late 1990s. The duo’s bluesy, ga‑ rage-rock sound won wide acclaim within just a cou‑ ple years.

In 2007, the White Stripes cancelled their fall tour, cit‑ ing acute anxiety suffered

by Meg White. Perfor‑ mances scrubbed included dates in Boise, Idaho; Rapid City, North Dakota; Fargo, South Dakota; and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

White apparently never has performed in public in those states or Alaska as a member of the White Stripes, which folded in 2011. Nor, apparently, has he visited those five states with two other bands, the Raconteurs and Dead Weather, or as a solo artist.

Study find LGBT role shortage in film NEW YORK (AP) ‑ An an‑ nual study by GLAAD has found that Hollywood studios continue to lag in producing films repre‑ senting gay, lesbian, bi‑ sexual and transgender people, despite a slight improvement over the last year.

Examining the 114 films released by the seven larg‑ est movie studios in 2014, the study found that 17.5 percent of them included characters identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual.

There were no identifiably transgender characters.

The findings, released Wednesday, are a slight uptick from the 16.7 per‑ cent of “inclusive” movies from 2013.

But GLAAD, which pro‑ motes LGBT media repre‑ sentation, said that the majority of gay, lesbian or bisexual roles were minor

and many were defined largely by their sexual‑ ity. Sarah Kate Ellis, pres‑ ident and CEO of GLAAD, called on Hollywood to do better.

“As television and streaming services con‑ tinue to produce a re‑ markable breadth of diverse LGBT represen‑ tations, we still struggle to find depictions any‑ where near as authentic or meaningful in main‑ stream Hollywood film,” said Ellis. “The industry continues to look increas‑ ingly out of touch by com‑ parison, and still doesn’t represent the full diversity of the American cultural fabric.”

Hollywood has come under increasing scrutiny for the diversity found in its biggest releases.

Other studies have been critical of the dispropor‑

tionate representation of black, Hispanic and Asian characters in studio-dis‑ tributed films. The issue drew particular attention in February’s Academy Awards, which notori‑ ously featured only white acting nominees.

GLAAD has been ex‑ amining studio output for the last three years.

It looks at releases from Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures, The Walt Disney Co. and Lions‑ gate. Warner Bros. was the only studio to receive a “good” score from the group.

All three years, GLAAD has found that studio comedies are the most LGBT-inclusive, account‑ ing for nearly half of the films to feature LGBT people.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) ‑ Gisele Bundchen, the Brazilian supermodel who has been illuminat‑ ing catwalks the world over for the past two de‑ cades, is retiring from the runway with what is expected to be her final lap on Wednesday at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

The 34-year-old mother of two, who’s married to NFL quarterback Tom Brady, said she wants to spend more time with her family but has also vowed to continue working in the industry. The world’s highest-paid model ac‑ cording to a 2014 rank‑ ing by Forbes, Bundchen is the face of Chanel, Car‑ olina Herrera, Pantene and other top brands. She also designs her own line of flip flops and lingerie.

Bundchen rivals soccer legend Pele for the status of Brazil’s most interna‑ tionally famous person, and her rise from a mid‑ dle-class childhood in a small, rural town to super‑ star is the stuff of fashion legend.

In a posting Wednesday on her Instagram account, Bundchen wrote, “Today after 20 years in the indus‑ try, it is a privilege to be do‑ ing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business.”

“I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportu‑ nity to start this journey,” she wrote.

Bundchen’s longevity is a feat in an industry where careers tend to be fleet‑ ing. While most get their starts, like Bundchen, in their early teens, the vast majority last only a few seasons or years in what is widely acknowledged to be a cut-throat business.

Very few superstars, such as Britain’s Kate Moss, can measure their careers in decades.

Bundchen was slated to make her final catwalk appearance Wednesday for Colcci, the Brazilian streetwear label she has represented since 2005.

In an interview this week with the Estado de S. Paulo daily, Bundchen is quoted as saying she wanted her

GISELE BUNDCHEN last runway experience to be in her homeland.

“For me, it’s very natu‑ ral that this last show takes place in Brazil which, af‑ ter all, is my country and where it all started,” she said.

Bundchen was born and raised along with five sis‑ ters, including a fraternal twin, in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, a cen‑ ter of German immigration to Brazil. She was discov‑ ered by a modeling agency at age 14 and came in sec‑ ond place in a nationwide modeling contest, then moved to New York, where she made her runway de‑ but at fashion week there.

By age 20, she’d become a sensation, her freck‑ led face gracing the cover of top fashion magazines worldwide and her unique combination of legginess and curves causing a sen‑ sation during her runway appearances. Bundchen’s success was heralded as marking the end of the sickly, skinny and bedrag‑ gled “heroin chic” look that had dominated runways for years prior and the re‑ turn of the healthy looking model.

Her romantic life was

usmagazine.com

regularly splashed across gossip magazines, as she was linked to a series of A-listers, from surfer Kelly Slater to actor Leonardo DiCaprio. In 2009, she married New England Pa‑ triots quarterback Brady.

The couple has two small children.

Last year, she out-earned Brady, netting an esti‑ mated $47 million on con‑ tracts including those with H&M and Chanel, as well as other deals, according to Forbes. The next high‑ est-earning models on the Forbes celebrity list, Holland’s Doutzen Kroes and fellow Brazilian Adri‑ ana Lima, earned $8 mil‑ lion each, according to the magazine.

Still, for all her success, even Bundchen failed to make healthier, more ath‑ letic models the endur‑ ing norm. These days, run‑ way models tend to be so thin that France earlier this month passed a law banning extremely thin girls from walking in run‑ way shows at Paris fash‑ ion week. Agencies and la‑ bels that hire models with insufficient body mass in‑ dexes can face fines or even prison terms.

Arizona artist Barbara Seyda wins $10,000 Yale Drama Series prize

whio.com

BARBARA SEYDA NEW YORK (AP) ‑ An Ar‑ izona-based writer, edi‑ tor, photographer and de‑ signer has won the ninth Yale Drama Series Prize with her debut play based on the

real story of a slave in Mis‑ souri who killed her master in 1855.

Barbara Seyda’s play “Ce‑ lia, a Slave: 26 Characters Testify,” on Wednesday won

the award and $10,000. It will be published by Yale Univer‑ sity Press and there will be a staged reading at Lincoln Center Theater’s Claire Tow Theater in September.

“I love theater that is gal‑ vanizing, that’s invigorat‑ ing, that makes me feel like I want to throw up, that gives me nightmares,” she said by phone from Tucson. “I like theater that’s confronta‑ tional and I hope this play will be challenging and confrontational.”

The play is based on the handwritten trial transcript and court records from Cal‑ laway County Court in Ful‑ ton, Missouri. Seyda also dug up genealogical re‑ cords, newspapers, journals and letters. In addition, she grafted random street inter‑ views onto the archival ma‑ terial to give the characters a contemporary edge and feel alive.

Celia was born in 1836 and bought at age 14 at a slave auction in 1850 by Missouri landowner Robert Newsom, who repeatedly raped her over five years.

She delivered two children and in 1855, pregnant with

a third Newsom baby, she fended off his attack by hit‑ ting him with a stick, which killed him. She was arrested and hanged at age 19.

The play explores systemic racism, slave litigation, rape and the execution of a juve‑ nile. “It’s challenging mate‑ rial and it’s heartbreaking and it’s brutal,” Seyda said.

“I kept thinking, `Who’s going to be interested in this play from 1855?’ And then any time I looked at the news or looked at what was happening on a national or a regional platform, all of these issued seemed very relevant.”

The play begins in Celia’s jail cell on the eve of her ex‑ ecution and it’s told from the perspective of 26 people, a technique Seyda calls “pris‑ matic and kaleidoscopic.”

The monetary part of the award is the David Charles Horn Prize, named in honor of a man whose dream of having his own writing pub‑

lished was never realized.

His widow, Francine Horn, established the prize to of‑ fer other fledgling artists the chance to see their work in print.

Horn said Seyda was the kind of person she hoped the prize would discover - a fresh voice outside of estab‑ lished drama school circles who writes passionate plays.

“It’s such a timely subject and she did it so differently,” Horns said. “It just lives.”

This year’s runner-ups were Craig Thornton for “The High Cost of Heating” and Abe Koogler for “Kill Floor.” There were 1,478 en‑ tries from 47 countries.

The Yale Drama Series Prize is given out annually for a play by an emerging playwright, picked by an es‑ tablished writer. This year’s judge was British playwright Nicholas Wright. Former judges have included Ed‑ ward Albee, David Hare and John Guare.

Four players leave West Virginia in offseason after Kramer’s departure by nicole curtin

Associate sports editor @nicolec_wVU

This spring has been eventful for the West Virginia volleyball team. Along with the hiring of new head coach Reed Sunahara, the team is participating in spring tournaments without some of its strongest players.

Sophomore outside hitter Jordan Anderson left the team following Jill Kramer’s departure. According to Anderson’s Twitter account, she is living in California right now. The past two seasons of Anderson’s career on West Virginia’s team were very successful.

This past season alone she led the team in kills, finishing with 495. Behind her was Nikki Attea with 292.

Anderson was the only Mountaineer given Big 12 season accolades this year; she was a unanimous choice to the All-Big 12 First Team. Even though she was an underclassman, she had a huge impact scoring wise, and even posted 245 digs on the season. She was not a ball hog at all.

Junior opposite hitter Attea is also no longer on the roster. The East Amherst, N.Y., native played a big role in the front row of West Virginia’s offense and defense.

Attea put up 73 blocks at the net this season, as well as the 292 kills she scored.

While Attea is no longer on the roster, she is still in the Morgantown area and is attending school at WVU for right now.

West Virginia’s back row superstar, Anna Panagiota-

kopoulos, transferred to the University of Arizona and is playing volleyball there.

The libero hails from Pheonix, Ariz., and spent the last three years playing for the Mountaineers.

During her time in the Gold and Blue, she earned many personal careerbests and accolades, such as 2013 All-Big 12 Volleyball Academic First Team, Eagle Challenge All-Tournament Team in 2013 and played on the USA Junior National Team at the European Global Challenge in Pula, Croatia, in 2013.

This past season, Panagiotakopoulos finished with 244 digs. She and freshman Gianna Gotterba were splitting time at the libero position, as Panagiotakopoulos was dealing with an illness in a couple of games, and

Kramer wanted to get a win with whatever rotation of players was putting in the most effort.

All three of these players made a huge impact to the energy on the court, especially Attea and Panagiotakopoulos being upperclassmen and able to lead the younger players.

During this past season, Kramer recruited Lamprini Konstantinidou, a freshman setter from Greece. Konstantinidou came to West Virginia loving the family atmosphere and decided this was going to be her new home for the next four years. Upon Kramer’s decision to leave WVU, Konstantinidou left the team as well.

In her freshman season, Konstantinidou started many sets over junior set-

ter Brittany Sample. She finished the season with 971 assists and 157 digs.

She even put down 48 kills while playing at the net.

Konstantinidou was one of five freshmen who joined the team this year, and she is the only one who left.

Gotterba gained invaluable experience splitting time with Panagiotakopoulos at libero. She had 287 digs on the season and 216 set assists. Along with her remaining on the team are juniors Sample and outside hitter Hannah Sackett.

Sample let Konstantinidou get ample playing time in her first season of American college volleyball, but now has an opportunity to play more her senior season, and sophomore Haley Roe will probably get some playing time as well.

Sackett was a vocal leader of her squad at all times last season, constantly encouraging and reminding her teammates they could get the job done. She finished with 223 kills and 48 blocks.

There are other returnees who contributed to this season as well, such as sophomore middle blocker Hannah Shreve, junior middle blocker Caleah Wells and freshman defensive specialist Melvina Brown.

Of the four players who left the team for other opportunities elsewhere, their presence and leadership will be missed, as well as senior Evyn McCoy who finished playing for West Virginia at the end of the season in November. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

WVU was lacking energy during Penn State loss by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

On Tuesday night West Virginia fell in what head coach Randy Mazey pegged as a “trap game.”

Last weekend was a roller coaster for the West Virginia baseball team. The brand new Monongalia County Ballpark opened up and the beautiful new complex brought the most fans West Virginia baseball has seen in quite some time for the three-game series against Butler.

The Mountaineers swept the Bulldogs, but came off their high horse Tuesday when they lost 5-3 to a subpar Penn State team.

“That’s the definition of a trap game,” Mazey said.

“You play a huge, emotional weekend, you’ve got a midweek game against a team that has a bad record that’s very capable of beating you, and that’s just my fault.”

Mazey and company cannot dwell on this loss, though. The road ahead only gets tougher, with Oklahoma next on the schedule for West Virginia. As the home stand continues, the Sooners will be the first Big 12 Conference game held inside the new ballpark.

While bad play certainly has to do with the loss to Penn State, Mazey also chalked up part of that loss to the lack of emotion and energy from his players.

“We took the field with no energy,” Mazey said fol-

lowing the Penn State loss.

“Now that the hype (of the new ballpark) is over and the whole dog and pony show along with it is over, now you got to settle down and play baseball.

“We deserved to lose.”

Mazey and the rest of the coaching staff took full responsibility for not getting the team energized to play the Nittany Lions.

“We definitely came out a little flat in the first inning,” said second baseman Kyle Davis after Tuesday’s game.

“He whipped us into shape a little bit; that’s unacceptable, we shouldn’t have to do that. We should take it upon ourselves to get the game going on the right foot.”

West Virginia’s head coach also said the fans that come to this new ballpark crave the energy and want the atmosphere to be topnotch, and falling to a team with a losing record isn’t helping the cause.

With the Sooners coming to town, Mazey doesn’t expect the team to lack the energy they did against Penn State.

“They see the schedule, they know Oklahoma is coming in here,” Mazey said. “If we win this series this weekend, it’ll make a huge difference in the standings.”

West Virginia may have looked to Oklahoma earlier than Mazey would have thought, and that look could have contributed to overlooking a team like

Penn State.

The Mountaineers are sixth in Big 12 play with a 4-5-conference record and a 21-13 overall record. Okla-

homa has the same Big 12 record as Oklahoma State, 8-4, but sits behind them for first place in the conference due to a 24-15 overall

record. first Big 12 series in the new The Sooners have cracked complex. the Top 25 this season, and dasports@mail.wvu.edu it will be no easy task for the Mountaineers to win this

No changes in defense during spring practice SPECIAL NOTICES

EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY

kyle monroe/the daily athenaeum

Senior K.J. Dillon breaks up a pass during a game against Texas Tech in October.

by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

For the first time in three years, West Virginia’s defense isn’t learning a new scheme.

So far this spring, the Mountaineers have been attempting to perfect their roles in defensive coordinator Tony Gibson’s 3-3-5 oddstack defense. “We’re really confident right now because this is the first time since I’ve been here, and since anybody’s been here on defense, that we get to do the same things on defense twice,� said senior safety K.J. Dillon.

“Every year we’ve been putting in a new defense but for us back there we get to do the same things we did last year, so all we’re doing is perfecting the game and getting better.�

Although senior safety and three-year starter Karl Joseph admits the Mountaineers’ safeties need to improve on their communication and disguising their coverages, he believes the game has substantially slowed down for him. “I just feel so much more comfortable,� Joseph said. “I feel like I belong, and I understand every call.�

As a true freshman in 2012,

Joseph started all 13 games at free safety and earned both WVU Defensive Player of the Year and Freshman All-America honors. As a team captain last season, the 5-foot-11, 197-pound Orlando, Fla., native racked up 92 tackles and tied for No. 4 in the Big 12 Conference with three forced fumbles.

Alongside Dillon and sophomore free safety Dravon Henry, Joseph thinks this group of defensive backs — and the defense as a whole — can be as good as it wants to be in 2015. “That’s how good this team is, especially on the defensive side,� he said. “We

have a lot of leaders on that side of the ball. It’s going to start with us.�

Together, the trifecta of Joseph, Dillon and Henry compliment each others’ skill sets well, making the Mountaineers a tough unit to move the ball against.

While Joseph showed early in his career he’s capable of defending the pass, his bread and butter is wreaking havoc in opponents’ backfields.

Dillon might be the most versatile of the group with his ability to defend against both the run and the pass, while Henry could emerge as one of the Big 12’s top coverage safeties this season.

Although Gibson has been emphasizing better tackling and producing more turnovers this spring, Dillon said having the fundamentals down allows guys to play faster and rely on instincts, rather than hesitation.

Through nine spring practices, head coach Dana Holgorsen likes what he sees from his three safeties. “Dravon (Henry) looks just like Karl (Joseph). Karl has had his best spring. K.J. (Dillon) has had his best spring,�

Holgorsen said. “It’s frustrating for me, but it’s fun to watch them.� dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Coastal Carolina transfers join West Virginia by dj deskins

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Of the five men on the West Virginia University golf team, two are transfers from Coastal Carolina University, but they share dif-

ferent stories on how they ended up as Mountaineers.

Easton Renwick, a junior from Punxsutawney, Pa., and Chris Williams from Scott Depot, W. Va., both grew up close to Morgantown and WVU and were excited at the opportunity

to play for the school.

Head coach Sean Covich heard about Williams while he was in the interviewing process for the position at this school. “I knew of him because when I was interviewing for the job I researched how

many West Virginia kids were playing DI golf somewhere,� Covich said. “He was one of those former West Virginia junior golfers I noticed.�

Renwick and Covich go further back but didn’t realize it until they joined the team. Covich had watched him play 18 holes at the Florida State Seminole Intercollegiate Men’s Golf Tournament in 2013 for Coastal while coaching at Mississippi State. “Honestly we didn’t remember that round at FSU until recently when we were talking,� Covich said. “Funny how things work out like that.�

Renwick was coveted by his home state’s golf program at Penn State, but their roster was full. It was then that Covich received a call from the Nittany Lions assistant coach who suggested he pursue Renwick.

Both have deep ties to the area, Williams being a native of the state and Renwick from just north of Pittsburgh. “Chris told me he always played better when he was back home in West Virginia versus away at college,� Covich said. “He wanted to come back to his home state and represent West Virginia. He takes a lot of pride in being a Mountaineer.�

The reason Easton came to WVU is to be closer to family. He has Western Pennsylvania roots, and being closer to them and playing his senior season in the Big 12 Conference was a

great opportunity for him.

Covich can’t say enough about Renwick’s leadership and maturity, and believes he’ll earn the role as team captain during his senior season next fall. He thinks Williams is more of a leader by example and does what he needs to do every day to improve his game.

Once a month, Covich has the team over to his house for dinner to get to know his players better.

He and his family couldn’t be happier to have them around, particularly his two-year-old son Keenan, who already considers the team to be some of his heroes.

Both Renwick and Williams shouldn’t have much difficulty transitioning to the level of play in the Big 12. They faced top-level competition every tournament while playing for Coastal. “ They are experienced Division I golfers, and they’ll welcome the challenge,� Covich said. “Coastal is one of those programs that plays a top schedule against ACC and SEC programs. They’re a great team year in and year out.�

Moving forward, Renwick is projected to be the team’s first captain in over three decades. “Easton (Renwick) is definitely ready for the leadership role next year,� Covich said. “Who knows, Chris may fill his shoes once he graduates.� dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Ross Vance throws a pitch in a game against Ohio State last April.

Left-hander Ross Vance off to impressive start by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The idea of the “crafty lefthander” is a common and perhaps overused trope in the game of baseball. But in junior starting pitcher Ross Vance, the West Virginia University baseball team has the genuine article.

The top returning hurler on a very young Mountaineer pitching staff, the sinkerballing Vance has lived up to the challenge as West Virginia’s regular Saturday starter. The junior from McKinney, Texas, has

constantly kept hitters off balance this season, keeping Mountaineer infielders busy with a continuous stream of ground balls.

“He doesn’t throw anything straight,” said Mountaineer head coach Randy Mazey.

“If we’re getting a lot of ground balls and our infielders are making a lot of plays, then Vance is doing his job. He’s not a huge strikeout guy. He can get some, but he’s a ground ball guy, and on this field with the defense we play that’s to our advantage.”

Vance flashed potential in his redshirt sophomore

season, starting seven of his 17 appearances and earning an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention. As the only returning pitcher who has made a start in a Mountaineer uniform, Vance has taken the next step, holding a 2.79 ERA and a 5-2 record through his first nine starts.

Vance has mystified hitters with his unusual delivery and constant changing of speeds. Vance starts with a high leg kick before hopping off the rubber and slinging the ball in sidearm — an unorthodox windup which Vance makes look easy, and which has lulled

opponents to sleep.

In his first start on the artificial turf of the new Monongalia County Ballpark Saturday, Vance looked right at home, throwing eight shutout innings and earning a win against Butler.

“I think my fastball and changeup worked well off of each other,” Vance said after the game. “I was able to spot my changeup pretty well. I threw one inside and a couple outside. I was able to throw it when I needed to keep them off-balance.

Fastball command helped me out a lot today.”

The redshirt junior took

a long and winding road to get to this point in his career. Tommy John surgery forced the southpaw to miss two full seasons after he graduated high school.

He returned to the mound with a strong 2013 season at Dodge City Community College in Kansas before becoming a Mountaineer.

With his injury troubles behind him, Vance has become one of the strengths of West Virginia’s pitching staff, and his teammates are having a grand time watching him work.

“It’s fun to watch because hitters have a hard time hitting off him,” said

Mountaineer first baseman Jackson Cramer. “He’s changing speeds and sinking balls left and right. He just does a great job of getting hitters off balance.”

The Mountaineers will need continued success from Vance and his rotation mates as the quality of opposition ramps up in the coming weeks. The Mountaineers are due next to face a solid test from Oklahoma this weekend in Morgantown, with dates with ranked TCU and Oklahoma State also on the horizon. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

One of the big questions before this season was how Jones and senior Quinn Cook would coexist in the backcourt.

At no point was that a problem.

Jones became just the second Duke freshman with 400 points and 200 assists, finishing with averages of 11.5 points and 5.7 assists.

His assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.86 to 1 was a school record for freshmen.
