Capel says BOG made right move by jake jarvis managing editor @newsroomjake

Student Body President George Capel issued a statement Thursday afternoon explaining the events that transpired at the Student Government Association’s regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday. In the release, Capel said filling now former-Governor Amanda Hutchison’s

seat with Elizabeth Sabatino was the right move. But Governor Samantha Shimer, who didn’t attend the meeting because she was at the Naval Academy’s Foreign Affairs Conference, said in a statement she disagreed with the Board’s decision and would have voted to confirm Richardson. “I think that if Mr. Richardson received the position of 16th highest vote-

Jewish student org remembers Holocaust victims by emily leslie staff writer @dailyathenaeum

In honor of Holocaust R e m e m b ra n c e Day, members of Hillel, West Virginia University’s Jewish student organization, held a 24-hour vigil that began Wednesday at noon and went straight into Thursday for the 19th consecutive year in the Mountainlair. During the vigil, students in Hillel and other community members took turns reading through the list of the six million Jewish people who perished in the Holocaust. “We go through about 20,000 names in the 24 hours of men, women and children. Sometimes it’s full pages of families – grandparents, parents and their children all on the same page, all killed in the same year, same concentration camp. It’s intense to read that – that sort of page, that sort of remembrance of those names,” said Zevi Lowenberg, president of the Hillel student organization. In taking the time to read each name out loud, Holocaust victims are not only remembered as a whole, but are recognized as individual human beings who suffered. “We hope to make the saying ‘Never forget’ really true this time. If we read the names, if we give these people back their identities – we hear the number six million a lot – but if we hear the names, now we have the identities, now we have made them back into people, we have given them back their identity,” Lowenberg said. Rayla Claypool, a fresh-

man journalism student and active member in Hillel, shared how reading the names brings a sense of familiarity to those who lost their lives in the Holocaust. “It is kind of mindnumbing to read all of these names and realize how similar all of them are. There are some times when you get four or five names in a row that are the same first and last names, but they’re different people,” Claypool said. “It just goes to show how close we all are. They might not have any of the same family roots, but they share a name. It just goes to show we’re not as far removed from them as we seem to feel we are.” This year’s event was the 19th annual Yom HaShoah Holocaust memorial program. Both the University and Hillel strive to not let victims be forgotten. “It’s not just an important event for Hillel, it’s an important event for the University as a whole to remember,” Lowenberg said. “It’s always been a seminal part of the Hillel calendar and the West Virginia University calendar.” Hillel is an active student organization on campus that brings together Jewish WVU students to create a sense of community and a home away from home. “In a non-religious way, (we) make them proud to be Jewish. (Hillel) connects us both culturally and religiously,” Lowenberg said. “As Jewish Mountaineers, we should come together and really celebrate that fact.”

Men will march in high heels from the Mountainlair to the Waterfront from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, as part of the “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event, hosted by Morgantown’s Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center. Although this movement to raise awareness about sexual and gender violence began as a men’s march, Jenny Weidman, campus coordinator at RDVIC, assures that all are welcome to participate and march in the event.

“It started as an international men’s march to put men on the front line of combating sexual and gender violence. It is aimed toward men, but in this day and age, we want it to be gender-inclusive because it’s not just men who are committing these crimes,” Weidman said. “In Morgantown, it’s a march for everybody.” T h o s e w h o p a rticipate are taking a stand against rape and domestic violence and are also encouraging the community to think about issues that are difficult to talk about.

Richardson submitted his letter of appeal to the chief justice of SGA’s Judicial Board. In it, Richardson argued this portion of the constitution is meant to stop someone unfit to serve on the Board and that he is fit. “It was used to abuse the power that was recognized (in the constitution) to get a political friend istead of someone else,” Richardson said.

Capel said in the press release that he called on Attorney General Matt Blair to determine the proper course of action. Capel said moving from the 17th highest vote-getter was “in lieu of … filling the seat via presidential appointment (an action that I personally believe oversteps my authority as President of the Student Body).” Daniel Brewster, SGA’s

adviser and an instructor of sociology at WVU, said several administrations have had the opportunity to fix the hole in the constitution. In 2010, during the Jason Zuccari administration, the student body voted to approve amendments to the constitution to allow the Board to confirm the next high-

Pi Kappa Alpha raises money for local firefighters union with challenge by courtney gatto staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Pi Kappa Alpha, a West Virginia University fraternity, is introducing its first annual “Pike Fireman’s Challenge” to raise money for the Morgantown Professional Firefighters Local 313 as part of their national philanthropy. The challenge consists of three events that are open to students at WVU and the rest of the Morgantown community. “We are raising money for the local professional firefighters union,” said Aaron Hinish, philanthropy chair for Pi Kappa Alpha. “It will go toward them buying equipment and new uniforms and stuff like that.” Morgantown Professional Firefighters Local 313 is comprised of 45 active members who are all employees of the Morgantown Fire Department. Local 313 is a nonprofit organization that helps to maintain and provide service to the 30,000 residents of Morgantown, as well as the 100,000 residents in the surrounding area. This Firefighter Challenge will help give this organization money for proper equipment and tools needed to make their jobs possible and keep them safe. The Fireman Challenge began Thursday with a chili cook-off between the WVU sororities at Wesley United Methodist Church. Members from each sorority prepared

College of Media gives back with Create-A-Thon by caitlin coyne correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The Reed College of Media will host the first West Virginia University CreateA-Thon, giving students an opportunity to gain professional experience while giving back to local nonprofit organizations. The Create-A-Thon starts at 3 p.m. this afternoon and goes on for 24 hours while 35 WVU students work with nonprofit marketing and media professionals to create material for three nonprofit organizations in Morgantown. “We’re really excited and hopeful this will become an annual event,” said Adrianna Barbato, co-community relations and media director for the event. The nonprofits participating are Literacy Volunteers of Monongalia & Preston Counties, Mountaineer Area Robotics and Monongalia County Child Advocacy Cen-

ter. The student volunteers are responsible for producing creative material spanning from a short commercial to a complete logo rebranding for the organizations for free. “Nonprofits obviously don’t have the income that for-profit companies do for services like this, so anything West Virginia can do to give back is great,” said Luke Nesler, a co-founder and creative director at Impakt Marketing who will be overseeing and mentoring a student team working on a video campaign for Mountaineer Area Robotics. The Create-A-Thon gives the student volunteers an opportunity to gain real-world experience in their prospective fields without requiring them to make the time commitment necessary for an internship. “I think it’s awesome we’re utilizing students who need experience but don’t necessarily have the time for it,” Barbato said.

Cara Jaskiewicz, a Reed College of Media student and volunteer for the organization, said she was excited to have the opportunity to put her media knowledge to good use. “I love all aspects of media, and I’m a senior now so I’ve gained a lot of knowledge in different areas of journalism. I’m happy that knowledge can go toward helping nonprofits,” she said. The Create-A-Thon has garnered outstanding community support, with several local eateries and citizens sponsoring the event. Insomnia Cookies, Black Bear and several local pizza places will provide food for the teams throughout the night, and United Way along with numerous other local companies are sponsoring the event to ensure the teams have the materials necessary to complete their tasks. Barbato said the only thing she was worried about was keeping everyone energized

and motivated through the entire time. Makayla Lewis, the account executive for the event, agreed with Barbato. “Create-A-Thon brings its own challenges because it is a 24-hour event, and I know I’ve never personally stayed up for 24 hours straight before,” Lewis said. Jaskiewicz, however, is excited about the prospect of staying up for 24 hours. “I know there won’t be any dull moments throughout the process,” she said. Create-A-Thon is a national nonprofit that hosts events like this all over the U.S., giving back to other local nonprofits wherever the event is hosted. “I’m a big advocate for nonprofits,” Jaskiewicz said. “I worked for a nonprofit all through high school. They deserve our support because they give back to the community.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

In this Feb. 22, 2105 file photo, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson speaks in Washington. Johnson said Thursday, The gyrocopter that landed on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol “apparently literally flew in under the radar.”

Homeland chief: Gyrocopter came in ‘under the radar’ WASHINGTON (AP) — The Florida postal carrier charged Thursday with two federal crimes for steering his small gyrocopter through protected Washington airspace “literally flew under the radar” to the lawn of the Capitol, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said as key lawmakers raised alarms about security risks. Doug Hughes, 61, was charged with violating restricted airspace and operating an unregistered aircraft, crimes that carry penalties of up to four years in prison and fines. He was released from custody and allowed to return to Florida on home detention. A federal magistrate judge ordered him not to fly any aircraft and told him to stay away from Washington except for court visits and keep clear of the White House and Capitol while in town. Hughes’ stunt, aimed at drawing attention to the need for campaign finance reform, exposed a seam in the U.S. government’s efforts

Continued from page 1 the myth that perpetrators of violence are a large percentage of men. “What is important that everyone remembers is that when people talk about sexual assault and rape, it is a very, very, very small percentage of men and women who are perpetrating (the violence). Sometimes people think it is a larger number, and innocent people are being lumped into it,” Weidman said. RDVIC hopes this event will help those who have been the victims of sexual assault feel that the community supports them. “We want to show those who are out there who may be afraid to come forward that the community is doing something to

to protect the White House, Capitol and other vital federal buildings. The stunt caused no injuries and few disruptions as Hughes flew in low and slow, landing between the Capitol and its reflecting pool in broad daylight on Wednesday. But lawmakers demanded explanations for how he managed to remain undetected as he flew the lightweight craft all the way to Capitol Hill from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Concerns were only magnified by the confirmation that Hughes was interviewed in 2013 by the U.S. Secret Service, which apparently determined he did not pose a threat, according to Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. “I think that there’s absolutely a gap, and it’s a very dangerous gap, with regard to our airspace,” Cummings said. “I don’t want people to get a message that they can just land anywhere. Suppose help prevent and spread awareness, and that they aren’t alone,” Weidman said. Despite the fact that men normally wear high heels to this event, Weidman encourages those who do not feel comfortable doing so to not feel obligated. “(Participants) can wear heels, wedges, flats, pink slippers – as long as you’re out there showing your support, we are willing to concede on a few of those things,” Weidman said. Jasmine Gonzalez, sexual assault response team coordinator at RDVIC, encourages students to get involved in this event to support victims of sexual assault in the Morgantown community. “Being a campus community and having such a large population of students who are in the target

there was a bomb or an explosive device on that air vehicle? That could have been a major catastrophe.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the incident “stunning,” and Rep. Michael McCaul, RTexas, who chairs the House Committee on Homeland Security, said he would consider holding hearings. “These small aircraft or UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) devices concern me because they could go undetected and cause damage, so that’s something we’re taking a look at,” McCaul said.p But Johnson said it’s too soon to say whether security changes are needed. “I want to know all the facts before I reach an assessment of what can and should be done about gyrocopters in the future,” he told reporters on Capitol Hill.p “We are a democracy. We don’t have fences around our airspace, so we’ve got to find the right balance between living in a free and open society, and security ages for victims of sexual assault and gender violence, it’s really imperative for (students) to be on the forefront of this issue as our future leaders and our young professionals,” Gonzalez said. “We are a Mountaineer family, and when it comes to protecting the students around us, we all need to be involved – the staff, the community and the students.” Donations will be accepted to support the RDVIC, which provides temporary emergency shelter and counseling to men, women and children who are experiencing or who are survivors of abuse.

and the protection of federal buildings,” Johnson said.p Lawmakers of both parties expressed disbelief that none of the multiple security agencies tasked with protecting Washington became aware of Hughes’ flight in time to stop it. Secret Service officials disputed reports that they had been warned in advance by the Tampa Bay Times, contending that the newspaper’s reporter called to inquire about a protest, but offered no specific warning.p Hughes said little in his appearance in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia except to softly ask Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson a clarifying question. He avoided reporters on the way in and out. His next court appearance is May 8. White House Spokesman Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama was not in Washington when the gyrocopter landed, but was told about it. “There will be a careful

look at this incident,” he predicted, “and it may provide an opportunity for law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service, to review their procedures and to get some useful lessons from it.” The U.S. military said the North American Aerospace Defense Command and other law enforcement and intelligence organizations are reviewing sensor data to determine what happened as the gyrocopter neared and penetrated restricted airspace. A NORAD spokesman said the incident highlights a persistent vulnerability: the inability to detect some low, slow-flying objects. Air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport across the Potomac River from Washington didn’t detect the gyrocopter, mostly likely because it was flying less than 200 feet above ground, a U.S. official said on condition of anonymity for lack of authority to speak publicly.

It’s not unusual for a small aircraft like a gyrocopter to go undetected by conventional radar. Unlike most larger aircraft, a gyrocopter doesn’t have an identifying transponder. Some radar can detect small objects, but their effectiveness varies.p The landing on the Capitol grounds “just illustrates how hard it is to have an impermeable barrier. It’s very hard to hermetically seal airspace,” said John Hansman, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology aeronautics professor. NORAD, the FAA and the Defense Department control the airspace around the national capital region. The FAA is responsible for alerting other agencies to an aerial security breach. The Defense Department would then decide whether to shoot it down, a federal law enforcement official said, also speaking on condition of anonymity for lack of authority to be quoted in the media.

are filled in the future.” To amend SGA’s constitution, a governor can propose an amendment. If two-thirds of the Board approve it, the amendment will be voted upon by the student body during the next student-wide election. A student might also propose an amendment by starting a petition through the attorney general. However, the constitution does not say how many signatures are required for the amendment to be voted on. Blair said his predecessor Syed Ahktar told him it was up to the attorney general’s discretion for how many signatures would be required. “While it doesn’t explicitly state it, it proba b l y s h o u l d ,” Bl a i r said. At press time, SGA had not released the comments from the private meeting between Richardson and the Board, which Student Body Vice President Ashley Morgan said was important to the Board’s decision. Richardson said he re-

quested these comments not be released because the executive secretary wasn’t present at the meeting. He said he was told some governors were taking notes, but he requested these not be released because he felt they might be bias. Governor Josh Watson, who didn’t attend Wednesday night’s meeting because of a prior commitment with his church, said he wouldn’t be able to say how he would’ve voted in Richardson’s confirmation. Watson also did not attend the private meeting where members of the Board questioned Richardson.

He said this will help the community see another side of Greek life. “All of the events we are

doing are open to the public,” Hinish said. “Being able to involve the fire department, the Morgantown community and the WVU community with Greek life will be able to help see the brighter side of what we do.” In addition to helping the reputation, Pi Kappa Alpha will also be contributing to what Hinish believes to be an extremely worthy cause that benefits the firefighters and the community as a whole. “I am excited just to see the event take place, actually happen, be a success and for us to raise money that we can actually donate to them,” Hinish said.

OPINION SGA constitution needs review 3

Friday April 17, 2015

editorial

In light of recent events, it is clear the West Virginia University Student Government Association has some discrepancies in its constitution where the University could serve to help aid change. At their regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday, SGA voted Elizabeth Sabatino in as the 15th Board of Governors member after former governor Amanda Hutchison resigned. This decision has sparked a lot of controversy, as Sabatino, who received the 17th most votes, was only chosen after Sam Richardson, who received the 16th most votes, was not confirmed for the

position. The current constitution states: “Any elected position within the Student Government Association except that of the SGA President and Vice President, which becomes vacant, shall be filled by the candidate receiving the next highest number of votes - subject to majority approval of the Board of Governors.” It is this final phrase, “(…)subject to majority approval of the Board of Governors,” which has created the issue at hand. It would be wise of the organization to review this policy and improve upon further clarification; additionally, the Univer-

sity should assist them in this process. SGA, like any other organization comprised of students on campus, is a learning opportunity and building block for students’ future careers. As students, we are all learning and training; whether we serve as a member of student government, a student activist or student journalist, we all have the student element in common. Therefore, it should be the role of an adviser or administrator within the larger scale of the University to help us learn and grow in these roles. Currently, there is a gap in this constitution. There

is nothing answering the question of, if the 16th vote-getter is not affirmed, who is next? Because members of the BOG have control over an essential resource (money) to members of the student body, their actions should be reviewed and built upon for the best interest of the entire WVU community. This power means that they do in fact have to explain and justify their actions to the student body. Transparency was a buzzword thrown around a lot during this year’s SGA elections, and for good reason. This responsibility previously mentioned is to be open about deci-

sions made. The entirety of one ticket swept this election - this bond and comradery could easily have been expected to create a very productive environment. Now, faced with the dilemma of having to refill this role, the group had to make a judgment call. Student Body President George Capel released a statement explaining the action of the organization. He noted that the constitution was interpreted by Attorney General Matt Blaire and that he believed the decision to be the most in line with the current language of the constitution. This review of the constitution is something Capel said he is open

commentary

Negative news: How media can make things seem worse kody goff columnist @retrosyk

You know you’ve heard it. Every age group, every demographic, members of every ideology and religion, people of absolutely all creeds will tell you, sometimes even flippantly, that things are bad. How do they know? Well, they heard it on the news. All these reports of rapes, murders, hatred and violence paint a clear picture about what’s happening in the world today. Sure, there may be an occasional happy story about a rescued puppy or a surgery for an ill child, but those things are only reported on because they’re so rare, right? Wrong. Chances are you’re reading news media right now. You’re either holding a paper, flipping through pages or you’re reading this on a screen, with other stories all around you in either case. You might read the news to catch up on current events or to acquire discussion topics for later. You may well be reading this very opinion section to find something to get morally outraged over, as many do. Even if you don’t partake of news media very often, you hear about these stories all the time; there’s almost no way for a sociable person to avoid them. All of this information

to. “I am still open to discussing potential amendments to change the way vacancies are filled in the future,” Capel said in the statement released on Thursday. The attorney general did what he believed to be the next step. However, the problem lies within there being no outline for this step. Democracy can be exercised in a number of different ways. To maintain the integrity of the democracy, regardless of the system, little room can be left for interpretations of the process. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Celebrating National Student Employment Week William D. Schafer Vice President of Student Life

communiquepr.com

is bound to have some effects on the way we see our world. Bad news is seemingly everywhere. It clogs the throats of news anchors and spills out of the printing press in just about every town. The fact is bad news sells, and even if it doesn’t sell, it spreads way faster than good news. People can relate to one another over misfortunes. It’s happened to you, and it’s certainly happened to me. A group of strangers on a downed PRT can “bond” over their experience by bemoaning the system that let this happen, making jokes at the PRT operator’s expense and generally whining about their situation. However, this focus on bad things isn’t a bad thing.

It’s a human thing. I will tell anyone willing to listen about what I’m going to tell you now. I will shout this from the mountain tops. This is a fundamental truth about humanity: It focuses on the bad and rarely notices the good. This is reflected in human language, conversation and, yes, news media. When I talk good news being rare and bad news being everywhere, I always try to stress the word “news.” News is something people have taken note of and want to share with their fellow humans. Given that people tend to focus on the bad far more than the good, it should come as no surprise horrible, nogood, very bad news will crop

up almost everywhere. There is good news about this bad news. First of all, this shows there are truly good people in the media; people who want others to see the injustices and troubles of this world so we can fix them together. Secondly, it shows us we don’t live in an authoritarian state. Constant good news about everything being beautiful just reeks of propaganda, and writers everywhere pointing out the terrible things done in our country and others demonstrates freedom of the press is alive and well in this day and age. Heck, there may even be some of this bad-news-sensationalizing in this very pa-

per you’re reading, but in all honesty, this tendency to see bad in everything is not something to be ashamed of. This is a useful tool for sniffing out inequity and corruption, and it should be utilized when necessary. There is good news though, and there is good all around you. Yes, there are terrible things happening no one knows about and no one can report on, but there are magnificently beautiful things that go unfortunately unnoticed as well. We should do our best to look for every example of both. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

All of you are dedicated and talented. Student employees work in a wide variety of positions on campus. You are our resident assistants, receptionists, lifeguards, research and library assistants, tutors, dining services workers, among many others. The University simply could not function without you.

Ideal amenities: The things college student just don’t wan to live without

virginactive.co.uk

Victoria Robertson university of Illinois

Let’s be completely honest: when it comes to living without amenities that college students want (albeit, probably don’t need), fits are thrown and nobody wins. So to avoid all the drama, here are the 8 basic amenities that college students don’t want to live without. 1. Counter Space Maybe this is just a pet peeve of mine, but when living in an apartment, which already has a kitchen much smaller than that of a regular kitchen, lack of counter space can be a huge let down. It’s not like it’s necessary to a student’s existence, but it is something that makes their lives much easier come din-

ner time when all four residents of said apartment are maneuvering around each other just to stick something in the microwave. 2. Balconies Again, not necessary, but students love them. Not all apartments have this option, but those that do are goldmines. To be able to go out onto the balcony to do your homework, or to sit out on the balcony to unwind after a long day of classes is exactly what the doctor ordered. 3. A Workout Facility It’s not as if there isn’t any alternative to working out, but most students offered a gym with their lease will take full advantage of it while they can. Even though most college campuses offer a recreational center of their own, some students living in apartments a

bit further from this facility won’t ever use it. Or, better yet, when winter comes around they’d rather stay in the apartment complex than walk to a gym they honestly don’t want to be at to begin with. 4. In-Unit Washer/Dryer This is honestly the college dream. After living in apartments where the washer and dryer are communal (and coin-operated), there’s nothing better than being able to do your laundry in the comfort of your own home. Whether there’s a stain that needs to be taken care of now, or a load of clothes too big to lug back home to mom, the in-unit washer and dryer is always the preferred method. 5. Cleaning Services Students don’t clean up after themselves to begin with. And after moving into an

apartment that someone else lived in over the past year, the place is absolutely disgusting: filled with dust, sticky stuff all over the counters, the list goes on and on. Apartments that offer cleaning services not only help out students, but help themselves as well come time for move-out. If leases offered a cleaning person to come once a month to do a basic run-through of the apartment, everyone would be much happier, I promise. 6. Elevators Elevators are convenient, simple as that. Moving into an apartment without an elevator is a nightmare, and the same can be said for moving back out. Grocery shopping, buying books during that first week of school: no student wants to

carry all that up several flights of stairs. While there is always the problem of waiting for the elevator, it’s still the preferred method to taking the stairs. 7. A Pantry Every college student knows that you need to pack light, and yet we never do. After moving in all kitchen appliances and pots and pans, there’s almost never room for much else in the kitchen, food included. I’ve lived in apartments without pantry space, and it was a nightmare. We squeezed food into cabinets and most of it ended up in the closets in our bedrooms. Even just including one pantry for students to use adds so much space and helps a ton with storage problems they will undoubtedly have. 8. Bathtubs

And last, but certainly not least: the bathtub. I mean really, what’s more relaxing than a nice soak in the Jacuzzi? I’ll give it to you: this isn’t a necessity. But bathtubs are one of the best ways to relax after midterms/finals, or maybe to just quietly read a book for class without being bothered. We’ll even settle for the bathtub/shower thing, so long as we have a way to unwind when we need it. Amenities/features for an apartment are the little things college students are considering before leasing an apartment. While in the long-run, these things won’t matter, they could just be the deciding factor as to whether or not a student is going to pick one apartment over another.

WVU’s Almost Blue to play MAC show Saturday By Kendall Snee A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s multidimensional folk, pop, jazz and rock band Almost Blue is excited for the CD release party for their upcoming album, “A la Carte,” at the Monongahela Arts Center at 8 p.m. Saturday. Admission is $10 and includes the band’s new CD. The band includes vocalist Esta Hill; her son Wade Hill, who plays bass and guitar; Chris Plein who plays guitar, bass, keyboard, sings and rips on the occasional mandolin; and Duncan Lorimer, who plays guitar, bass and ukulele. What makes Almost Blue so diverse is its fac-

ulty to student ratio. The band also has a diverse sound. “I’m a faculty member in the physics and astronomy department,” Lorimer said. “Chris Plein is a professor of public administration, and Esta Hill is a midwife in the School of Health and Sciences. Her son, Wade Hill, is also a student here.” The band performs regularly in local restaurants like Black Bear Burritos, with future gigs planned at El Gran Sabor in Elkins, W. Va., and the Purple Fiddle in Thomas, W. Va. All of the band’s music is available on Youtube for preview. “I have known the lead singer, Esta Hill, for about four years,” Lorimer said. “She and I met through an advertisement in the Blue

Moose. So we got together and started playing mostly jazz.” Lorimer went on to explain that his favorite song on the album is “Enduring Love,” calling the tune “folklike, early Led Zeppelin album reminiscent.” With so many ties to the University, one has to be curious how Lorimer and his colleagues stay professionally out of the limelight. “I mean, I could be shameless about it and advertise the band to my students,” Lorimer said. “I haven’t actually told them. Not because I’m enbarassed, of course, I just don’t think it’s the right place to blow my own trumpet.” With Lorimer’s humble attitude, the band is hope-

student poll

Students of WVU, what do you spend most of your money on? Money is often tight for college students. The sterotype of the poor college student exists for a reason. Curious to find out what eats most of our income, I polled 100 students in the Mountainlair Thursday, asking them where most of their money went. With 58 percent of the responses, food is by far the biggest expense. This makes sense. Unlike everything else on the list, food is a necessity; humans need it to survive. The nature of the poll didn’t allow me to ask specifically what types of food students’ money was going to. However, I can offer a few cost-saving tips. One is to avoid dining halls and meal plans. The average dining hall meal will cost you around $10, much more than it’s worth. Two, buy groceries instead of fast food. A quick

burger may not seem like a lot at $5; however, it is much more expensive per nutrient than home-made food is. Alcohol is the second most popular answer. Again, no surprise here. WVU students don’t deviate far from stereotypes doled out by movies and television it seems. The rest of the responses were varied and rather equal. Textbooks are a big expense, as is parking in Morgantown. A few girls cited coffee as their biggest expense. Starbucks in the bookstore must be like a bar outside of an A.A. clinic for them. The “other” category featured some unique responses as always. One chemistry student has bought a lot of acetone recently for a project. A music fan spends a lot on synthesizers. -Westley Thompson, A&E Editor

Comedy club entertains guests by Doyle Maurer Art Director @dailyathenaeum

It’s an intimate setting in the Side Pocket Theater in the basement of the Mountainlair with a crowd that barely breaks double digits. “The light is bright enough that I can’t see any of your faces, so I can just assume there’s hundreds of you,” says 29-year-old Laura Sanders, the first of two comedians performing last night. Sanders delivers witty and seamless jokes on topics ranging from her all-girl catholic high school, to birth control to her small, but appreciative crowd. Sanders has upcoming shows in Dover, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio on Apr. 18, and Apr 24, respectively. “I feel like when I started I tried much harder to find things. As I kept going it was more like every day occurrences rather than just trying to make up a joke,” Saddler said. A group of students walks in the door and sits down at a back table. The crow d is growing, slowly but surely. By the time Grant Lyon comes on stage there is a warmed up crowd of about 30. Each punchline evokes laughter from the crowd, but the underlying tones of social issues are apparent. His jokes speak on the issues of gay marriage, religion and social media’s effects on today’s romantic relationships. When asked what inspires his set, Lyon says, “Real life. I mean honestly everything I say on stage is based in truth. One of the big things for me is that being on stage comes with a certain sense of power. I have the ability to affect how people think, if only for a second.” Lyon speaks about fighting hate with love. He describes a scenario of being in a headlock and nuzzling against the

Although it may be corny, Lyon believes that fighting hate with hate will only increase the issues. The crowd is rarely silent during Lyon’s performance. There are small chuckles and the occasional squeal of laughter after a great line. At the end of his set, Lyon passes out bumper stickers that read “History makes me wet.” After the show, Lyon shared his experiences with local comedian Clyde McAllister. “I liked how the come-

dians actually used knowledge instead of just using race jokes,” McAllister said. “They were more in depth.” Both artists delivered great lines and covered a range of topics, but most importantly, they kept the audience engaged. Students approached both comedians at the end of the night with comments about their performances. Overall it was a great, engaging success of bright comedy in a dark side pocket of the Mountainlair. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

#FashionFriday: Embrace boho trends for summer Ally Litten

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

It is official: Morgantown has been snow-free for the past 20 days. This warm weather brings spring and summer trends. Sundresses, booty shorts and crop tops are quickly replacing leggings and sweaters in your closet. With summer fashion lines coming out, here are the top seasonal trends for warmer weather. 1. Kimono Tops Kimonos are very in right now. Not the traditional garment, but rather Forever 21’s bohemian version. Kimonos can be dressed up or down. If you are going to class, throw on a pair of high waisted shorts, a solid color crop top and colorful kimono. If you are hitting the clubs with your friends, match a kimono with your favorite body con dress. Coming in all shapes and sizes, kimonos can be for anyone. Whether abstract or tribal print, floral or simply plain, kimonos add color and style to any outfit. 2. Crochet and Lace Accents Crochet and lace accents have been in for a while. However, with this new bohemian trend taking over America, crochet and lace accents are even more popular than before. Crochet and lace accents can be found on almost anything. Shorts, maxi dresses, sundresses, tops and many other items can be so much cuter with this delicate accent. 3. Printed Maxi Dresses Printed maxi dresses are where it is at this summer. Maxi dresses provide comfort, modesty and style. They are truly a girl’s best friend. You can wear a maxi

dress around the house, to work, church, to meet your boyfriend’s mother or even to bars. Right now, printed maxi dresses are very popular. However, solid colors are easy to find and go great with statement necklaces or a pair of colorful sandals. 4. Midi Dresses For those who are not very leggy, you are in luck. Midi dresses, or dresses that come to the knee, are very in right now. In contrast to the short skater dresses that were in last summer, midi dresses are a nice in-between for trendseekers. While being modest and professional, ladies can still enjoy showing off a little leg. 5. Head Pieces and Wraps Embrace your inner hippie. Go out and buy a flower headband now. If you are not into flowers, that is cool too. Get a plain head Fashion icon Olivia Palermo rocks fringe for spring. wrap or a braided headband and rock that out. No matter where you are going, whether it be class or a music festival, embrace the flower power. As someone told Led Zeppelin, “There’s a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.” 6. Fringe The ‘70s are back and taking over fashion. What is more bohemian than head wraps, maxi dresses and kimonos? That’s right, fringe. Fringe is on everything this season. Whether it’s on a crop top, a skirt or a dress, it’s there and we are loving it. Fashionistas can tie all trends into one by wearing a fringed maxi dress with crochet accents and a beautiful head piece. Beware though, fringed items need to be washed on a delicate cycle. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

New ‘Star Wars’ teaser, cast info revealed ‘Unfriended’ still a dud ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) ‑ The force won’t officially awaken until December, but Star Wars fans got an early glimpse Thursday with the debut of a spooky new teaser trailer for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The clip features the wreckage of a star destroyer, X-Wing battles, the Millennium Falcon in action, and a first look at Harrison Ford as Han Solo. “Chewie, we’re home,” Solo says at the close of the brief teaser, prompting the audience to scream and applaud. Die-hard fans packed the main hall at the Anaheim Convention Center for the event known as Star Wars Celebration. They wore costumes and wielded light sabers as they watched director J.J. Abrams and producer and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy kick off the four-day event. Franchise cast newcomers Oscar Isaac, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega surprised the audience with appearances and regaled the rapt fans with anecdotes about the highly anticipated film set to hit theaters Dec. 18. The fans were treated to a few morsels of new information even though the film remains cloaked in secrecy. Abrams, who is finishing

hdmovietrailers.eu

“Star Wars: Episode VII” the edit of the film, spoke about his love for the series and his insistence on keeping sets for the new episode as real as possible, even in the age of computer-generated images. “The thing that struck me ... is how real you knew and felt Star Wars was when you first saw `A New Hope,’” he said. “You want it to be legitimate. You want it to be authentic. Building as much as we could was really the mandate.” He also revealed that the desert landscape seen in both teasers was the planet Jakku, not Tatooine as seen in other episodes. Filming took place in Abu Dhabi to get the “John Ford landscapes” - a reference to

the renowned director of Westerns. It’s “a Western and a fairy tale as much as anything else,” Abrams said of “The Force Awakens.” Ridley said her character Rey is a scavenger who is completely self-sufficient and solitary until she meets another character. In the new teaser, viewers see Rey meeting Finn, the character played by Boyega, who wears a storm trooper suit in the clip and is in unspecified immediate danger. Isaac said his character Poe Dameron, an X-Wing pilot, “is the best freaking pilot in the whole galaxy.” “Star Wars” veterans Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, C-3PO actor Anthony Dan-

iels and Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew also made appearances. “You grew up with us. It’s amazing to be part of so many people’s childhood,” added Fisher, who noted that she would not be sporting her signature buns or metal bikini in the new film. Harrison Ford, who was recently involved in a plane crash, did not attend. Kennedy assured the audience that the actor was resting and getting well at home. Other special guests included a brigade of new storm troopers, series mainstay R2-D2, and the brand new ball droid BB8, who became a fan favorite when the first teaser trailer debuted in November.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ‑ Taking aim at cyberbullies on their home turf, Levan Gabriadze’s “Unfriended” envisions an I Know What You Did Last Summer-style vengeance scenario conducted by a ghost entirely via social media. Presented as if it were being witnessed on one of the protagonists’ laptops, the pic sticks with its gimmick more honestly than Nacho Vigalondo’s Open Windows, a Fantasia entry with a similar visual conceit. Though it’s substantially less successful in dramatic than in technical terms, the pic could draw some attention from genre diehards in niche bookings. The setting is a group Skype chat in which five high-school friends log on together for no reason other than to have company while wasting hours of their youths sitting alone in their bedrooms. Around the time they realize this is the anniversary of the suicide of Laura Burns, a classmate they hated, a mysterious sixth person enters the chat - an anonymous digital intruder claiming to be Laura’s spirit. Assuming this to be a creepy hacker, they try and fail to hang up on “him,” but this hacker has skills. He’s soon taunting them (and a sixth friend) across an ar-

ray of platforms, controlling texts, video messages and the like. (The services are all depicted with their real brands - YouTube, Facebook, Skype, et cetera.) As they grow increasingly agitated, he turns them against each other by revealing secrets he has no way of knowing - betrayals, insults and worse - before proceeding to grisly physical punishments that apparently involve psychic control. These kids are more loathsome than the average victims of slasher-flick boogeymen, and the young actors have little success (if they’re trying) in making them interesting despite their shallow nastiness; as the film begins knocking them off in the usual ways, we can’t even take pleasure in their deaths. By the gory final moments, the picture finds ways to wrench the annoyance level higher, with goofy onscreen animation and an inexplicable plea for help to the nonplussed denizens of Chatroulette. dious details of digital life. Editor’s Note: This review was written from a film festival screening last summer when the movie was titled “Cybernatural.” The title has since been changed but the film is essentially the same.

‘Duck Dynasty’ family debuts musical in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS (AP) ‑ There is no shortage of beards, camo, hunting and God alongside a bit of recent real-life scandal in “Duck Commander Musical.” The Las Vegas show premiered Wednesday at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino and tells the story of a family duck-call business that led to reality show juggernaut “Duck Dynasty.” The 90-minute show with Broadway backers and bonafides, including the company behind “Jersey Boys,” alternates between something akin to a live-action commercial celebrating the family business to a mostly cheery singing and dancing scrapbook of their tight-knit journey. Skeptical observers who envisioned a high-kicking dance number complete with hunting rifles and flashy sequin camouflage costumes when they heard

of the musical won’t be disappointed. Producers, in on the joke, included one such traditional Broadway-style number. The rest, is populated with earnest songs with lyrics such as “there’s no time for rest, this is my quest,” and “be yourself in camouflage” and on the other end, comic relief courtesy of the family’s Uncle Si offering fart jokes and “that’s what she said” replies. Scenes are set against a high-tech stage set of moving screens including appearances by the real-life Robertson family. Nearly the entire “Duck Dynasty” family from Louisiana attended the premiere at the Rio hotel and casino, later dining on biscuits and gumbo at an after party. Missing from the audience and show’s development was bearded patriarch Phil Robertson who was quoted vilifying homosexual behavior in a January

Duck Dynasty cast 2014 issue of GQ magazine. Theatre-goers expecting an apology from the actor playing Phil Robertson won’t get one. Instead, they get a glimpse into his longago descent into drunken irresponsibility before he finds God and atones in pathos that arrives near the end. The explanation for the comments? Phil was just being Phil. And Phil, like the rest of the family, loves everyone, they sing. On stage, the subject arrives at first innocuously

latimes.com

then ominously with a magazine reporter who after being consistently snubbed by the family patriarch asks: “What are your thoughts on Leviticus?” In real life, GQ has said the question that led to Robertson’s comments was:: “What, in your mind, is sinful?” Anyone who read the profile or ensuing coverage knows what’s coming and the play coyly makes no direct mention of the comments themselves.

Oklahoma comes to West Virginia for first Big 12 Conference home series by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The Mo u nt a i n e e r s may have taken the bait and fallen in a trap game against Penn State Tuesday night, but there should be no overlooking the next opponent they face in the first Big 12 series in Monongalia County Ballpark history: The Oklahoma Sooners. West Virginia will be out to repair the damage from a bad RPI loss to the Nittany Lions and will

have a chance to do just that, along with climbing the conference standings with a series win or sweep against the Big 12-leading Sooners. While head coach Randy Mazey was admittedly disappointed with his team’s energy level and focus after Tuesday’s loss, he said there should be no such problem this weekend. “They know. They see the schedule. They know Oklahoma’s coming in here. We’re in the middle of the pack, and if we win

this series this weekend, that will make a huge difference in the standings,” he said. Sitting at 4-5 in conference play, the Mountaineers are currently sixth in the Big 12 standings and a game-and-a-half behind the fifth-place Texas Longhorns. In order to make a jump in the standings this weekend, West Virginia’s pitching staff will have to take on the tall task of shutting down a potent Oklahoma offense that ranks

WVU faces Duquesne on the Monongahela in scrimmage race by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s rowing team will face the Duquesne Dukes Sunday on the Monongahela River in scrimmage format. The Mountaineers are approaching the end of their schedule, with only the Duquesne matchup, the EAWRC Sprints and the Big 12 Championships remaining. West Virginia competed in the Knecht Cup last weekend, finishing off with a gold medal in the petite finals. Although the weather, illness and injury have all caused difficulties for the Mountaineers, the team remains hopeful as they look to make a strong surge to end the season, beginning with Duquesne. “The Knecht Cup was a learning experience for all crews that we can now take back to Morgantown, reassess our status and get back to work for our scrimmage next weekend against Duquesne,” said rower Mindy Sharon, who competed on the First Varsity Eight squad last weekend. “At the end of the (Knecht Cup) Regatta, we talked about the importance of improved consistency going for-

ward,” said head coach Jimmy King. “ We only raced Duquesne directly in the heat of the First Varsity Eight crossing the line a seat or two ahead, but they placed higher overall in the Regatta. Those crews in particular should have a good time going at it in this weekend’s scrimmage.” As for Duquesne, the Dukes present a tough competition. Also competing in the Knecht Cup last weekend, Duquesne won silver in the Freshman/Novice Four event where they finished slightly behind New Hampshire in second place. Duquesne’s row ing squads have also had notable finishes in the San Diego Crew Classic and against the University of Dayton in scrimmage. Coach Jimmy King has a positive outlook for his squad as they prepare to compete on their home water for the first time since November, where they faced Duquesne in a n o v i c e -s q u a d scrimmage. “We typically compete only once or twice per year at home, so it’s no surprise that the team gets very excited for these opportunities. The primary benefits we get from competing at home are the comforts

provided by familiarity, the lack of travel-related stress and, of course, competing in front of our family and friends,” King said. “Our competition versus Duquesne is in the format of a scrimmage. We’ll compete in multiple races at various distances less than the standard 2k distance. The format will allow us to make line-up changes if desired and to get in a lot of race-pace work that will benefit both of our teams much more than if we simply did a single 2k race,” he said. A second time facing Duquesne in the same season on the Monongahela River will allow the Mountaineers to have repetition, which is a key factor in the sport of rowing. “Although it’s late in the year on the calendar, it’s relatively early in the year on the water so this format will benefit us more for what’s to come,” King said. Students and fans can make their way at 9:30 a.m. Sunday to the WVU Boathouse, located in Morgantow n’s Whar f District along the Mon River, to watch the Mountaineers row against Duquesne. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 2 in the Big 12 in team average, hitting .286 overall and scores 5.6 runs per game, all while striking out the least of any team in the conference. The first Mountaineer starter to take his shot at the Sooners will be freshman BJ Myers, who saw his last action as a reliever in the opening game of the Butler series. He settled the game down after Conner Dotson was pulled early, throwing 7.2 innings of scoreless relief and allowing only four hits.

“Myers will start on Friday and, you know, he’s coming off a good outing. He’s got some confidence,” Mazey said. West Virginia got itself in a hole early against Penn State, as starter Shane Ennis faltered out of the gate and allowed the Nittany Lion offense to get rolling. This weekend, Mazey said he wants his pitchers to go on the attack, starting with Myers. “One thing with BJ you don’t have to worry about is, he’s going to attack. It’s

just a matter of if he’s going to be settled in from the first pitch, because this is the best offensive team we play all year coming up,” he said. “He’s going to have to be really, really sharp from the first inning on to have a chance to win.” First pitch for Friday’s game is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday’s game is set to start at 4 p.m. and Sunday’s series finale begins at 11 a.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU heads to Virginia Challenge meet by dj deskins

sports writer @Dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track and field team travels to the Virginia Challenge this weekend in Charlottesville, Va., as the Mountaineers round out their regular season play. WVU will compete against its highest level of competition so far this outdoor season and the toughest event since the Big 12 Indoor Championship. Over 1,300 athletes from 35 different schools will compete in the twoday event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our schedule is set up to continue to rise in the level of competition,â&#x20AC;? said

head coach Sean Cleary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This weekend we will compete against upwards of 40 of the best teams in the country with fields that will include the highest level of competition that our team has seen all year.â&#x20AC;? The Mountaineers are coming off a strong weekend at the Mason Spring Invitational in Fairfax, Va., at George Mason University led by freshman Shamoya McNeil. McNeil placed second in the triple jump with a mark of 12.39 meters. This career-best mark earned the Jamaican native sixth best among all freshmen in the country this season. She placed first in the Ohio Cherry Blossom In-

vitational the weekend before and looks to keep her hot streak alive. Marsielle McBeam and Hannah Stone each had top-six finishes in Fairfax and look to improve and place higher against the much stronger competition at Virginia. The 800-meter run saw two Mountaineers finish in the top 25. Kelly Williams placed 21st with a time of 2:14.20, and Brianna Kerekes finished just behind her with a time of 2:14.35. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are starting to run the team in events that are more to their specialty,â&#x20AC;? Cleary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 1,500-meter run, steeplechase, high jump, pole vault and triple jump are the events we are mainly

concentrating on.â&#x20AC;? Sara Finfrock tied for fifth place in the pole vault with a mark of 3.35 meters. She will look to improve on her marks as the team approaches the Big 12 and NCAA Championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main objective for this weekend is to surround ourselves with topnotch competition,â&#x20AC;? Cleary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to bring home one or two more NCAA qualifiers, but more so we want to embrace our opportunities and continue to progress.â&#x20AC;? WVU is a month away from the Big 12 Outdoor Championships in Ames, Iowa, and is continually looking to improve its play. After this weekend, only the Penn Relays and the

Jesse Owens Track Classic separate them from postseason competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to start establishing our roster for the Big 12 meet,â&#x20AC;? Cleary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These opportunities are important in establishing those that will be in Iowa with us. From this meet forward we are looking to get on a roll that will allow us to peak at Big 12.â&#x20AC;? The Virginia Challenge starts at 10 a.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Saturday at Lannigan Field. All events conclude at 10 p.m. Saturday for WVU, which will look to return home with a few top-three finishes. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Kaminsky, Stewart win Wooden Awards LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Frank Kaminsky of national runner-up Wisconsin and Breanna Stewart of three-time national champion Connecticut won the John R. Wooden Award as national college basketball players of the year Friday night. They received their trophies during the first College Basketball Awards nationally televised show from Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. For Kaminsky, it was the last in a raft of player of the year awards the senior center picked up this season. His name was announced by Greg Wooden, a grandson of the late UCLA coach. Earlier in the evening, Kaminsky accepted the Kareem AbdulJabbar Center of the Year trophy from the retired Lakers star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an unbelievable journey. I never thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be in this position,â&#x20AC;? said Kaminsky, who barely played his first two

years in college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome being here.â&#x20AC;? Kaminsky led the Badgers to the Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles, and the NCAA Tournament championship game, where they lost to Duke after upsetting undefeated and No. 1 Kentucky in the semifinals. He averaged 18.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 blocks. He named camaraderie and the relationships he made on the team as two of his favorite memories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, the basketball was fun, too,â&#x20AC;? said Kaminsky, who is the first Badgers player to win the Wooden Award. He received 3,385 points in voting from nearly 1,000 national college basketball experts and online fan voting. Jahlil Okafor of Duke finished second with 3,060 points. Willie Cauley-Stein of Kentucky was third at 2,361. Jerian Grant of Notre Dame

finished fourth at 1,870, and Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Angelo Russell of Ohio State was fifth at 1,583. Kaminsky was accompanied by his parents and coach Bo Ryan. Asked about playing for his veteran coach, Kaminsky cited Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sense of humor and â&#x20AC;&#x153;how mean he can beâ&#x20AC;? as memorable traits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so awesome to look back at everything we accomplished,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so grateful to the University of Wisconsin for helping me along that journey.â&#x20AC;? On the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, Stewart accepted her trophy from retired UCLA star and Wooden family friend Ann Meyers Drysdale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To win an award with John Woodenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on it is an unbelievable honor,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just shows a lot of hard work pays off.â&#x20AC;? Stewart averaged 17.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists for the Huskies, who finished 38-1 and won their games by an average

of 40.6 points. The junior has won the national title every year of her college career. Stewart received 469 points. Jewell Loyd of Notre Dame was second at 440. Tiffany Mitchell of South Carolina finished third at 296, followed by Nina Davis of Baylor with 239. Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, was fifth at 234. Stewart is the fourth winner from Connecticut, joining Maya Moore in 2009 and 2011 and Tina Charles in 2010. Other winners were: â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Angelo Russell of Ohio State, Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year. The freshman led the Buckeyes into the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to Arizona in the third round. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Delon Wright of Utah, Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year. The senior helped the Utes reach the final 16 of the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to eventual

national champion Duke. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Stanley Johnson of Arizona, Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year. The freshman led the Wildcats with 13.8 points. He helped them reach the West Regional final of the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to Wisconsin and fell a game short of the Final Four for the second straight year. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Montrezl Harrell of Louisville, Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year. The junior helped the Cardinals reach their fifth NCAA regional final in eight years, where they lost to Michigan State in overtime. He played on Louisvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 national championship team and is headed to the NBA draft. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Steve Fisher of San Diego State, Legends of Coaching. Fisher has guided the Aztecs to the NCAA Tournament eight times. The award is given to a coach who exemplifies Woodenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success and personal integrity.

NFL reinstates Peterson from suspension MINNEAPOLIS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Adrian Peterson has been cleared to return to the NFL. Now all that remains to be settled is where he will play next season. Commissioner Roger Goodell sent the Minnesota Vikings star a letter on Thursday advising him of his reinstatement. Peterson missed most of last season while facing child abuse charges in Texas. Goodell wrote that Peterson will have to fulfill all the obligations of his plea deal that reduced a felony charge to a misdemeanor. Goodell also told Peterson he would have to continue attending counseling while adhering to the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new personal conduct policy to avoid further discipline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any further violation of the personal conduct policy by Peterson would result in additional discipline, which could include suspension without pay or banishment from the NFL,â&#x20AC;? the league said.

Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agent has said the star running back wants to play elsewhere next season. But the Vikings say they have no plans to trade him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to Adrian re-joining the Vikings,â&#x20AC;? the team said in a statement issued after the announcement. Peterson was indicted on abuse charges after inflicting injuries on his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. He played the opener against St. Louis, then sat out the remaining 15 games of the season while tangling with the league over the discipline. Harold Henderson, a league-appointed arbitrator, rejected Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal and upheld the suspension in December. The NFLPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petition in federal court to overrule Henderson was granted by U.S. District Judge David Doty, who ordered the appeal back to the NFL for re-arbitration. The

league promptly appealed Dotyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to a higher court. The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear that case for months, so those proceedings will be merely for principle in the ongoing dispute between NFL owners and players over protocol and fairness of the personal conduct policy. The league essentially tabled Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suspension in February after Dotyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling, putting him back on the exempt list to allow the Vikings to communicate with him, but the announcement Thursday means heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally in the clear to take the field again. The question, then, is what colors heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be wearing this fall. Despite several cordial meetings with Vikings officials, Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public stance on returning to the only NFL team he has ever played for has been uneasy at best.

In his statement the day of Dotyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling, Peterson thanked fans, the NFLPA, the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead lawyer and his agents but never mentioned the Vikings. One of his agents, Ben Dogra, took the stance a step further in March by declaring that Peterson no longer wanted to return to Minnesota, setting up a stare-down of sorts between the two sides. â&#x20AC;&#x153; You make tough choices in life. We clearly understand heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under contract with the Vikings. After several discussions and much thought, I believe that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in his best interest to resume his career in Minnesota,â&#x20AC;? Dogra said last month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might be best for all parties involved for him to resume his career elsewhere.â&#x20AC;? Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has told Dogra he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to release Peterson, who recently turned 30. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have not given us one compelling reason

why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in his best interest to remain as part of the Minnesota Vikings,â&#x20AC;? Dogra said. The Vikings have leverage with Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract, which covers the next three years including a $12.75 million salary for 2015. None of the remaining money on the deal, however, is guaranteed. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re serious about not trading the franchise player, the Vikings could conceivably sit tight all spring and summer and not have to pay Peterson at all, given that player paychecks donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go out until the regular season games begin. Peterson has a $250,000 workout bonus in his contract, but if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not interested in playing for the Vikings anymore, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surely not going to attend their offseason training program when he lives near Houston. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be subject to fines if he were to skip the mandatory minicamp in June.

Thunder miss playoffs, Brooks feels safe OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thunder coach Scott Brooks plans to return as coach next season, despite talk that his job is in jeopardy. Oklahoma City finished this season with a 45-37 record, but the Thunder failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2008-09. Brooks said he feels secure about his future with the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect to be the coach,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to be the coach of

this organization. I love being here. I expect to be the coach next season.â&#x20AC;? Though the Thunder reached the Western Conference Finals three of the previous four years and went to the NBA Finals in 2012, Brooks been criticized for failing to win a title with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Durant was last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MVP and is four-time scoring champion, while Westbrook was this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All-Star MVP and scoring

champion. Brooks said dealing with rumors comes with the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always going to be speculation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to be able to do your job, regardless of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud to be here, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about the talent that we have here.â&#x20AC;? Durant, Westbrook and Serge Ibaka all say Brooks did a good job under the circumstances. Durant played just 27 games this season after breaking a bone in his right foot. Ibaka, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive anchor, missed the final month of the season after right knee surgery. Several other players, including Westbrook, missed significant time with injuries. For a 14-game stretch early in the season, the Thunder were without both Westbrook (broken right hand) and Durant and went 4-10 to immediately fall behind in the rugged West.

Guard Anthony Morrow missed the start of the season with a knee injury and rookie forward Mitch McGary played in just one game before February because of several injuries. Later in the season, center Steven Adams (broken right hand), guard Andre Roberson (sprained left ankle) and forward Nick Collison (sprained left ankle) also missed several games. Center Enes Kanter barely practiced the last month of the season with a bum left ankle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With all the challenges that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had - weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of injuries, from the start of the year to the very end of the year,â&#x20AC;? Brooks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times, when they happen early, all of us, including myself, `Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to get it over early in the season.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That (the injuries) didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop happening.â&#x20AC;? Oklahoma City was rolling before Durant had a second surgery to replace

a screw that was put in the foot during the initial surgery. He eventually had a third procedure and was ruled out for the season. Even with all that, Oklahoma City was in the playoff hunt until the final night of the regular season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He rallied us,â&#x20AC;? Durant said of Brooks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He made sure everybody was emotionally stable. A lot of guys in and out of the lineup, and he kept everybody together. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what a coach is supposed to do. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really say nothing about it because he did his job. He did his best job he can do, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of him.â&#x20AC;? Ibaka, a three-time firstteam all-defense player and two-time blocks leader, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair to hold the results against Brooks, given the circumstances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really hard to say the negative things because they (the injuries) really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us the option,â&#x20AC;? Ibaka said.

Friday April 17, 2015

Orioles’ early schedule is a throwback to the ‘30s BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles’ earlyseason schedule is a journey into the past, exclusively on East Coast time. Baltimore doesn’t play a game outside of the Eastern time zone until June 1, in Houston. Until then, the Orioles won’t have to reset their watches or buckle up for a lengthy plane trip. The last teams to play all their games in the Eastern time zone through May were the 1932 Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Athletics and Washington Senators, according to STATS LLC. Back in those days, the train was the preferred mode of travel.

“I wish we were doing it,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “I love the train.” Baltimore occasionally travels by rail to New York, but the schedule calls for a six-day stay in the Big Apple next month for games against the Mets and Yankees. So the Orioles will go by plane to New York, Boston, Toronto and Miami. “It wouldn’t be feasible unless they get those bullet trains they have in Japan,” reliever Darren O’Day said. “Now that would be cool.” Still, Baltimore couldn’t ask for a better way to start the season. The Orioles

play 30 games at home in April and May, and their 19-game road slate began with three against Tampa Bay - meaning they never left Florida from spring training. “Anytime you start the season you’re trying to find your groove,” first baseman Chris Davis said. “So anything you can have in your favor to make the travel a little less strenuous is an advantage.” Showalter agreed that teams benefit from staying in the same time zone. “It takes you about two weeks to get acclimated to the new baseball clock,” he said, “so to not have that distraction is good.”

The rest of the teams in the AL East might cry foul, but the favorable schedule was just a quirk of fate. “It really wasn’t anything that was planned,” said Katy Feeney, MLB’s senior vice president of scheduling and club relations. Most teams face clubs within their division for the first three weeks, and the AL East matches up with the NL East in interleague play this year. When the Orioles meet three AL West teams in May, all three series are at Camden Yards. Their farthest trek before the end of May is to Miami.

“The hardest part about the beginning of the season is the night game and then flying to a different city in a different time zone and having a day game the next day,” Davis said. Orioles traveling secretary Kevin Buck is responsible for making the trip from one city to the next as easy as possible for the players. For these two months, that won’t be a difficult task. “The biggest difference is the players are able to stay in a rhythm by staying in the same time zone,” Buck said. “There’s no jet lag, no four or five-hour flight.” That’s the case in April

and May, anyway. “It’s awesome,” O’Day said. “Makes me wonder where we are in June, July and August.” June and July will bring visits to Houston, Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit. Then comes August, which features a nine-game trip to the West Coast, along with three-game series in both Kansas City and Texas. Challenge accepted. “The fans don’t care about what time the game is. They care about results. So do we,” Orioles center fielder Adam Jones said. “No excuses. Whatever the schedule is, we play it. Best of luck, guys.”

Warriors? Cavs? No clear favorite for NBA Finals NBA (AP) — Sweetshooting Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have the best record, an unmatched home-court advantage, and the understanding that means nothing now. “We had a great home record and did some historic things, but that doesn’t get you any extra points in the playoffs,” Curry said. The Warriors (67-15) were the NBA’s best this season. LeBron James has been on top before, though never in Cleveland. And don’t forget the Spurs, even though you have to look far down the West standings to find them. When the NBA postseason opens this weekend, there will be plenty of championship contenders but perhaps no clear favorite. “I got no idea who’s going to win the championship. This is the most convoluted I’ve ever seen the NBA as far as, I’ve got no idea,” Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley said. With James gone from Miami, so are the days of penciling in one half of the NBA Finals matchup. The Heat reached the last four finals, winning two of them, before James returned to Cleveland last

July. The Cavaliers don’t even have the best record in the Eastern Conference, finishing in second place behind Atlanta. But they have rolled through the second half of the season so easily that it’s hard not to consider this No. 2 as the one. “We have an opportunity to do something special and that kicks off this weekend,” James said. The Cavaliers start Sunday against Boston, a familiar foe for James and the one that ended his last postseason in a Cavaliers uniform. The playoffs begin Saturday with four games: Washington visits Toronto in the opener before the Warriors, 39-2 at home during the regular season, host Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans. After that come two short trips: Milwaukee travels to Chicago and Dallas heads to Houston. On Sunday, Atlanta hosts Brooklyn, Portland visits Memphis, and the Los Angeles Clippers welcome San Antonio for the opener of what appears to be the marquee first-round series. The Spurs’ beautiful basketball overwhelmed James and the Heat in last year’s finals and carried

them to 21 wins in their final 25 games this season - and couldn’t put a dent in their deficit in the West standings. They ended up with the No. 6 seed after losing in New Orleans on the final night of the regular season, with a 55-27 record that was a game worse than the Clippers, who surged to a 56-26 finish with seven straight victories. “We’d love to have been in the 2 or 3 seeds - whatever it may be - and started at home,” the Spurs’ Tim Duncan said. “But we have been on just about every route possible throughout the years. This will be another journey, and hopefully it will be a fun one.” That’s what the Warriors want. And with an MVP favorite in Curry, another All-Star in the backcourt in Klay Thompson and a deep bench, they have everything needed to make it happen. “It’s time to go and we are ready,” Curry said. Some other things to watch in the playoffs: ROSE’S RETURN: Derrick Rose’s injury problems began in the opener of the 2012 postseason when he tore his ACL. He returned from his latest surgery to help the Bulls finish with four straight victories to

Golden State’s Stephen Curry celebrates during a game earlier this season. earn the No. 3 seed in the East. HOW HEALTHY?: The winner of the Trail Blazers-Grizzlies series would be in line to meet the Warriors, and either would be a threat if healthy. But Marc Gasol, Mike Conley and Tony Allen of Memphis limped to the finish, Arron Afflalo joined Wesley Matthews on the sideline in Portland, and it’s hard to tell which team is in good enough shape to survive this series. TEXAS TWO-STEP: The

reward for James Harden and the Rockets after earning the No. 2 seed? A matchup against a Dallas team that won 50 games. The Rockets outscored the Mavericks just 402-398 in their four meetings, and Dallas had double-digit leads in three of them. KIDD’S KIDS: Jason Kidd won a first-round series as a No. 6 seed last year in Brooklyn. He’s back in that spot after his first season coaching in Milwaukee with a young team that will try to overcome its playoff

inexperience. WHO WINS?: James is trying to finally win one in Cleveland. The Spurs are trying to finally win back to back. And the Warriors and Hawks were better than both teams over the course of the season, so even the experts are having a hard time with that question. “This year, I’ve got to be honest with you,” Barkley said, “there’s probably seven teams that could actually win the championship and I’d be like, `I’m not surprised they won it.’”
