Commencement speakers announced by sam bosserman staff writer @dailyathenaeum

With graduation less than a month away, the University released the list of commencement speakers who will impart their wisdom onto the next generation of West Virginia University alumni. Each individual school and college’s commencement ceremony will feature its own speaker. Among these speakers are seven WVU graduates, all returning to their alma mater as

examples of the success a WVU education can bring. Some of the more wellknown speakers include Stephen Coonts, a New York Times bestselling author. Coonts graduated from WVU in 1968 with a degree in political science before joining the Navy and eventually writing several books, which were partly based on his military experiences. Coonts will be speaking at the combined commencement ceremony for the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences and the Uni-

The West Virginia University Student Affairs Academic Resource Center and Office of Assessment and Student Success Programs hosted the Final Exam Countdown in the Mountainlair Monday evening. Students were able to meet with tutors from different learning and resource centers around the University, while taking advantage of the free pencils, scantrons and refreshments. “The main purpose of the event today is to allow us to offer tutoring in all subject areas in a one-stop shop,” said Courtney Teets, the program coordinator for the Academic Resource Center. “Students who have multiple exams can sit with several tutors at once.”

“We have a lot of tutors from different learning centers,” she said. “Our tutors have to have a really good GPA (and) have A’s in all of the courses they tutor. They are top students who know how to perform well.” The center holds events such as the countdown twice a semester during mid-semester and finals. Teets said they have reached out to the Student Government Association and the Honors College to join them for future events. “We meet with students here who need help preparing for finals,” said Kate Forynna, a success coach and graduate assistant in the Office of Student Success. “We help them design an action plan and allow some time for studying Erin Irwin/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM for their finals.” Rashelle Vincent and Emma Finly, exercise physiology students, receive free chemistry tutoring from Cassie Liston, a chemistry student, during the Final Exam Countdown in the Hatfield’s dining area Monday. see finals on PAGE 2

A legacy struck her final dismount Friday night. Senior gymnast Hope Sloanhoffer’s illustrious career at West Virginia University came to an end Friday night at the NCAA National Championships in Birmingham, Ala. While competing with No. 15 Penn State, the Cornwall, N.Y., native finished ninth on the vault routine with a season-high score of 9.875, just missing All-America honors. Sloanhoffer also scored 9.875 on the floor routine, 9.75 on the uneven bars and finished No. 19 in the all-around with a score of 38.725. Sloanhoffer, who finished the season with 35 podium finishes and 21 event wins, said her goal has always been to qualify for the NCAA national championships and be able to represent WVU on the national stage. After capturing the program’s first Big 12 title and dominating the competition at the regional championships, Sloanhoffer finally got her chance. “It was absolutely amazing to be able to come out here and have some really incredible

Theta Chi launches Sacred Purpose to improve wellness by taylor mcsorley staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The national Theta Chi Fraternity has launched its initiative, Sacred Purpose, to improve health, safety and overall wellness for its members. The premise of the program is to make sure “every brother can live his very best life” by offering a higher level of support. “The mission of Sacred Purpose is simple: to inspire

Continued from page 1 Forynna’s suggestion for students preparing for finals is to plan ahead. By making a plan, students manage their stress levels. “When a student writes a plan, it really helps them to look at it and see the exams as more manageable,” Forynna said. “It helps alleviate stress when they are preparing for finals.” Many students have test anxiety and feel overwhelmed around finals. Some wait until the last minute and feel the stress piling up at the end of the semester. “If you had asked me a week ago, I would have said start early,” Forynna said. “As of now, I would say, you should not worry so much. When you feel relaxed, you will do better on the test.” Daniel Segessenman, a senior geology student and tutor at the event, said the location in the Mountainlair helped produce a large crowd he doubts would have showed up at the regular centers. “I think it is helpful for a lot of students,” he said. “We see a lot of students here we wouldn’t necessarily see at the library.” Emily Collins, a fresh-

a better brotherhood and deeper level of mutual caring for one another,” said Shawn Bennett, the director of Health and Safety Programming for Theta Chi. To carry out the project, every chapter has assigned a number of new leadership positions. Nathan Dinzeo, the newly elected vice president for Health and Safety at the WVU chapter, said his goal is to get his brothers to live a healthier lifestyle when graduate. “Overall, we are push-

ing toward a new lifestyle of smart and safe decisions as a fraternity,” Dinzeo said. “It’s in our hopes that all the brothers will leave college a better man than when they joined.” Dinzeo’s duties will be to recognize the emotional, physical and relational needs of the members and to proactively facilitate access to assistance and resources. “Nate (Dinzeo)’s main goal is to be a liaison for any brother in need of help, whether it be mental or phys-

ical health,” said Will Spellman, a Theta Chi member. “He is basically just the man you go to when you need someone to talk to if you’re feeling depressed or if there was a death in your family. Nate will be the first one there to essentially be a shoulder to cry on.” Also involved in this position is planning events to encourage the members within each chapter to live a healthier life. Dinzeo has already had the chance to get the chapter involved in several

events. “As a local chapter we raised $1,781 for the WVU Dance Marathon event, and we hosted a fitness event with our brother and personal trainer Thomas Mclean that was targeted at obesity awareness,” he said. The fraternity also participated in Relay for Life to show support for the community and raised money for breast cancer with RubberU at their tailgates. “This movement definitely got us a lot more active and

got us participating in a lot more activities this semester,” said Marwan Toumadi, a Theta Chi member. The chapter appointed Danny Bonner as the Health and Safety adviser to keep in contact with the fraternity as a role model to whom the members look up and to inspire them throughout their years at WVU.

The donors led the Foundation to reconsider its goals. With a year and half left in the campaign, the Foundation is optimistic about achieving and possibly exceeding its target. “The Foundation and Foundation Board are currently evaluating their goals and balancing them with the continued increase in needs across the University,” Nevin said.

The flexibility of the campaign encourages loyal alumni and donors to keep the campaign’s potential in mind. “We need to keep the momentum going. We continue to see very strong support from donors who are very loyal to WVU,” Nevin said. WVU President Gordon Gee said he sends his gratitude to everyone who has contributed and to those who plan on contributing. “It’s clear our loyal alumni and friends recognize West Virginia University’s great potential.

performances – some of my best, I think,” she said. “It was an incredible experience.” Sloanhoffer’s floor routine was her favorite memory from Friday night. “I was the only one going, so I got to compete in front of the whole arena,” she said. “It was really cool to get out there and be able to have one of my best routines – and one of my best to compete – and just do that in front of everybody.” Sloanhoffer said she was slightly disappointed with falling just shy of All-American honors on vault but considered it a tremen-

dous honor to have the opportunity to compete on the highest stage in collegiate gymnastics. “I was really hoping to leave here as an All-American on something, but I’ve had an incredible career at WVU and I truly have no regrets,” she said. With Friday night’s final score, Sloanhoffer is No. 5 in program history with 1,876.525 total points in her four-year career with the Mountaineers. Like any college sport, gymnasts spend a large portion of their time with the team – especially during the season. Whether it be practice, competition or traveling on the road, athletes develop

special unbreakable bonds with their teammates. Sloanhoffer said some of her best friends are also her teammates, and she will miss the family feel of the team more than anything. “Not seeing them everyday is going to be hard,” she said. “But I know that they’re in good hands with (WVU head coach) Jason (Butts), (assistant coach) Travis (Doak) and (assistant coach) Bridget (Boyd). “I think our rising seniors are going to do a great job next year leading this team, so I’m not worried about them. I’ll just miss them a little bit.”

The donation will provide a demand fund that the Davis College will be able to use to compensate for expenses such as construction, equipment, scholarships and faculty and student salaries. “The demand fund enables us to draw from the (money) to use toward the benefit of the college. It is not earmarked for a specific use,” Robinson said. “It can be used for many purposes on behalf of the college.” Robinson said the money donated by CoBank will be used to outfit and upgrade rooms in the new building. “We will likely use some of the funds to offset an additional laborator y for genetics research,” he said. CoBank is active in West Virginia, and along with WVU, the company has invested in other educational institutions throughout the country. “We are tremendously grateful for this kind of support,” Robinson said. “It makes all of the difference.”

Death count in ferry sinking tops 100

South Koreans hold candles during a prayer for people believed to have been trapped in the sunken ferry Sewol, in Ansan, South Korea, Monday. South Korean President Park Geun-hye said Monday that the captain and some crew members of the sunken ferry committed ‘unforgivable, murderous behavior,’ while criticism of her own government’s handling of the disaster grew. JINDO, South Korea (AP) — One by one, coast guard officers carried the newly arrived bodies covered in white sheets from a boat to a tent on the dock of this island, the first step in identifying a sharply rising number of corpses from a South Korean ferry that sank nearly a week ago. Dozens of police officers in neon green jackets formed a cordon around the dock as the bodies arrived Tuesday. Since divers found a way over the weekend to enter the submerged ferry, the death count has shot up. Official said Tuesday that fatalities had reached 104. Families, meanwhile, wait in anguish for word of their loved ones, trying to piece together small clues written on a white signboard, before finally getting enough information to make a positive identification. When Lee Byung-soo saw his 15-year-old son’s body in the tent he knew he was dead, but he wanted so much for him to be alive. “Stop sleeping!” the truck driver yelled as he hugged Lee Seok-joon. “Why are you sleeping so much? Daddy will save you!” He pumped his son’s chest and blew into his mouth to try to resuscitate him, “but I could only smell a rotting stench.” This is the kind of heartbreak that awaits the families of about 200 people still missing from the submerged ferry Sewol, or at least those whose relatives’ bodies are ultimately recovered. Families who once dreamed of miraculous rescues now simply hope their loved ones’ remains are recovered soon, before the ocean does much more damage. “At first, I was just very sad, but now it’s like an endless wait,” said Woo Dong-suk, a construction worker and uncle of one of the students. “It’s been too long already. The bodies must be decayed. The parents’ only wish right now is to find the bodies before they are badly decomposed.” After the bodies are pulled from the water, police and doctors look for forms of ID and take notes on the body’s appearance, clothing and any identifying physical marks such as moles, said a Health Ministry official who was helping coordinate the effort and spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters. Lee Seok-joon arrived as Body No. 41. The official description bore few details: a boy. Mole on forehead. Wearing a pair of Adidas track pants. The bodies are transported to Jindo island, about an hour’s boat ride away, as rescuers notify families waiting at the port, or at a gymnasium where many are sheltering. Bodies without IDs are described to officials in Jindo who relay the details to the relatives.

At the dock, bodies are taken to a white tent for another inspection, then transported by ambulance to another tent. A coroner there cleans up the bodies, mostly to wipe off oil and dirt and straighten limbs, and then the families file in. Two pieces of news are delivered here, and each is heartbreaking: Your loved one is dead, or still missing. After reading the description of Body No. 41 Saturday, Lee Byung-soo thought it couldn’t be his son. He had a mole, but it was near his eyebrow, not on his forehead. Then another student’s parent told him it probably was Lee Seok-joon, and he “rushed like a maniac” to the tent. The sight of his son brought Lee to his knees. He later lashed out at a military doctor who was in the room removing Lee’s son’s clothes for further inspection. “Don’t touch my son!” he said. “He’s still alive!” In truth, it was a grim sight.

Lee said Monday, as he escorted his son’s body home by ambulance, that his right eye had completely decayed. It is mainly the parents of teenagers living through this. About 250 of the more than 300 missing or dead are students from a single high school, in Ansan near Seoul, who were on their way to the southern tourist island of Jeju. Bodies are being identified visually, but family members have been providing DNA samples in case decomposition makes that impossible. The families, and South Koreans more broadly, have at times responded with fury. The captain initially told passengers to stay in their rooms and waited more than half an hour to issue an evacuation order as the Sewol sank. By then, the ship had tilted so much it is believed that many passengers were trapped inside. At a Cabinet briefing Monday, President Park Geun-hye said, “What the captain and part of the crew did is unfath-

omable from the viewpoint of common sense. Unforgivable, murderous behavior.” The comments were posted online by the presidential Blue House. The captain, Lee Joonseok, and two crew members have been arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need, and prosecutors said Monday that four other crew members have been detained. Monday

night, prosecutors requested a court to issue a warrant to formally arrest these four people, a prosecution office said in a release late Monday. A transcript of ship-toshore communications released Sunday revealed a ship that was crippled with indecision. A crew member asked repeatedly whether passengers would be rescued after abandoning ship even as the ferry tilted so sharply that it became

impossible to escape. Lee, 68, said he waited to issue an evacuation order because the current was strong, the water was cold and passengers could have drifted away before help arrived. But maritime experts said he could have ordered passengers to the deck – where they would have had a greater chance of survival – without telling them to abandon ship.

Puig’s passion, story inspires fans RYAN VAN BUREN COLUMNIST

Yasiel Puig, the Cuban defect who took baseball by storm in summer 2013, is viewed by many as a natural born all-star. To baseball purists, Puig is nothing more than another thorn in the side of America’s favorite pastime. He’s too flamboyant, doesn’t follow orders, is immature, has no respect for his coaches - the list is endless. But for Dodger fans and anyone else who admire the talent Puig brings to every game, his journey to America seems like something straight out of a Hollywood script. Jesse Katz, a writer for Los Angeles Magazine, published a story that tells the extraordinary and dangerous journey that Puig took to get to the United States. Katz highlights all of the troubles and hardships Puig faced during his journey to America. According to Katz, the beginning of Puig’s defect starts with a man from Miami named Raul Pa-

checo. Pacheco agreed to pay Mexican smugglers of the Los Zetas drug cartel $250,000 for Puig’s delivery to the states. Puig made it to the northern tip of Cuba and then traveled by boat alongside a fellow Cuban boxer, a pin-up girl and a Santeria priest to a motel in a small Mexican town called Isla Mujeres. The plan was for Pacheco to pay the smugglers their money in exchange for handing Puig over, but like any illegal deal, it all went wrong. During phone calls between Pacheco and the smugglers, they could not agree upon the price, and in result, Puig was not delivered until the smugglers’ demands were met, which increased by $15,000 or more per day. “I don’t know if you could call it a kidnapping, because we had gone there voluntarily. But we also weren’t free to leave,” said Yunior Despaigne, the boxer who traveled with Puig. “If they didn’t receive the money, they were saying that at any moment they might give him a machetazo (machete) – chop off an arm, a finger, whatever – and he would never

play baseball again, not for anyone.” That quote alone gives you the sense of how close Puig was to not making it to freedom. Think about a man who was being smuggled for his baseball talents alone. To those smugglers, he was just a price tag. They were willing to take it all the way in a heartbeat just to get their cash. Pacheco finally made his push for Puig, gathering a team of financiers to send fixers to storm Puig’s motel and grab him. When the news got around to MLB scouts, Puig was an immediate attraction for teams looking to take a chance and gamble for a potential next generation player. The Los Angeles Dodgers were the team to take the gamble and sign Puig to a record deal for a Cuban immigrant, and the rest is history, with Puig making plays all over the baseball diamond last season. Puig’s story and struggle to reach his dreams is a story that deserves national attention and credit for what one man had to overcome. Every baseball player in the major leagues has

Yasiel Puig, above, who joined the L.A. Dodgers last summer, has become a fan favorite.

some character issues and weaknesses on the field, but Puig’s potential overshadows any problems in my mind. After reading Katz’s story, how can you not feel and root for a man who literally risked his life to play the game of baseball? For other players from the Caribbean islands, the trip to the MLB is hard; from Cuba, it’s nearly impossible. Puig has made some questionable choices since his time in America, but can you blame him? We’ve seen American heroes and idols make mistakes throughout their careers, so to punish Puig by labeling him as anything other than a star is almost disrespectful. Puig didn’t tell Katz much about his story, but he did tell him one thing that left me wanting to hear more. “Sleep is when it’s your turn to die. For that reason, I sleep with one eye open,” he said. So before you begin to judge Puig or anyone else you run across, remember to first think, what did that individual overcome to make it here today? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

EDITORIAL

The DA staff outline plans for future, welcome new faces The new editorial staff of The Daily Athenaeum is currently adjusting to their new roles and responsibilities. As we strive to finish the semester on a high note and keep The DA familiar and fresh, we would also like to invite you to join us for the next academic year in producing more quality student-centered content. The DA will focus on multimedia content in the coming year to interact with our readers and gain their perspectives on various oncampus issues in a more engaging manner. We encourage budding videographers and any student well-versed in creating multimedia packages, who are interested in having professional experience in the area, to join our team for the next year. We will also offer coverage on the University’s diverse academic programs, research opportunities and brilliant faculty, so students can take advantage of their four short years here to expand their horizons and build a solid foundation for their future careers. We hope to build a closer relationship with the University and the Student Government Association while maintaining our independence and unbiased stance on current University issues. We would also like to reach out to the international student population of the University and ensure their voices are not lost among the American students’. By having culturally relevant content for international student, we hope our American readers will be able to use their stories to educate themselves on international issues and engage in more conversations

with international counterparts. It is, after all, our duty to report facts and inspire conversation among our readers. While the editorial staff is looking to provide content relevant to the students’ needs and interests, we also want to expand on our coverage of Morgantown and West Virginia news. It goes without saying that students have an impact on the city and are also affected by the decisons made not onlny by the local government but also all governing bodies within the city and state. As long as they call themselves Mountaineers, Morgantown will always be a home away from home for those who are from out of town, and we hope to extend our reach to those readers who have moved on from WVU or Morgantown and reconnect them to the place they made so many memories. This may seem like a fourpoint outline of our plans for the upcoming year, but we can assure you there will be more to come. We are excited to bring you fresh news, thought-provoking editorials and engaging multimedia content. We hope you will also look forward to reading The DA and interacting with us. For readers who wish to help us improve The DA, please fill out The Daily Athenaeum Distribution & Readership Assessment, which is available on The DA’s Facebook page. For students graduating from the University, we wish you all the best, and thank you for reading The Daily Athenaeum. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Does gay marriage affect college students? william sharon ohio state

In a perfect world, the answer would be “No, it does not.” Gay marriage should not be a controversial political issue, but because it is, college students are involved. The number of college students who are directly affected by the legality of gay marriage is relatively low (just as the overall number of married college students is low), but when it comes to politics, our interest and involvement is anything but. Ultimately, the question boils down to the meaning of the word “affected.” For example, a person can care a great deal about starvation in third-world countries, though the issue may not directly “effect” him or her. He or she has the power to act upon how he or she feels (perhaps by donating money), regardless of actual involvement. Thus, it is not unreasonable that someone who is totally removed from an issue such as gay marriage may be able to decide to effect the issue, even if the issue does not directly affect him or her. If, for example, a college student wants to support the rights of others, standing up for gay marriage is one way in which he or she may achieve this goal. The problem is, the freedom to effect an issue should not extend to repression. If a college student is not directly affected by gay marriage, but disagrees with the institution for whatever misguided reason, then that student should not have

the power to repress those people who are directly affected by gay marriage. It is not an issue of viewpoint, it is an issue of rights. I am not black, so what right do I have to limit the freedom of black people? Some would argue that any governmental institution that they disagree with does, in fact, affect them, and that therefore they should have a say in whether or not gay people should be allowed to marry, no matter their view. This is a common misconception, and frankly, it is why the legality of gay marriage is a controversial political issue to begin with. The reason this opinion is flawed is that people assume that our political system is an outright democracy, when in fact it is a democratic republic. The distinction is paramount, as in an outright democracy it would be reasonable for gay marriage to be impermissible merely because the majority of people, gay or not, felt that it should not be allowed. However, in a democratic republic the right to vote does not extend to the right to vote away the freedoms of others. Thus, a vote to prohibit gay people from receiving a right merely because they are gay would be inconsistent with our political system. Returning to the question then; are college students affected by gay marriage? The answer remains “no.” Inherently, and as a representative body, college students are not affected by gay marriage. That is, they are not affected by gay marriage any more than the rest of society is. To some, it may mean the freedom to marry as they please, to others it

may be a matter of complete indifference, and to yet others, it may be offensive on a visceral level or for religious or other reasons. A difference between college students and the rest of society, however, is that college students are traditionally a force that drives change. They often lead the protest that results in rejection of societal norms and adoption of new norms that their own children will be left to protest when they inherit the mantel of revolution. So, whether col-

lege students are affected by gay marriage in any way that differs from that of the general public is less the question than whether college students will take on the issue and drive its rhetoric. And if they do take it on, in what direction they will drive it. But as I mentioned previously, it is difficult if not impossible to see how college students as a collective group are affected by gay marriage any more than they are affected by any marriage other than

their own. Notwithstanding the manufactured harm to marriage as an institution (a “harm” amply exemplified by countless instances of well-publicized indiscretion of the heterosexual variety) gay marriage does not affect anyone other than the people connected to the married couple. Because there is no effect beyond the borders of the couple themselves, there can be no spread of ill-effects to any group as a whole – college students included.

‘Henry IV’ showcases student talent BY CORY SANCHEZ A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

A rebellion, a decisive battle scene and a king’s speech captured the audience’s attention as the West Virginia University School of Theatre & Dance Gladys G. Davis Theatre’s “Henry IV” shifted into action. It remains one of the most beloved historical plays because of its notable characters and comedic moments. For most audience members, the most memorable moments surrounded Sir John Falstaff – a fat, vain, boastful and cowardly knight. Falstaff is one of the many main characters in the play; however, he is one of the most important along with Henry IV, Henry Percy and Prince Hal. These characters were interwoven into a rising battle between Henry IV and the Percy family, where war eventually became a reality. The two families duke it out with swords and shields for a fight to the death. “The fight scene was the best. A lot of the characters were lively,” said Brendan

Wood, an English and political science student. “They were into it, and they were loud.” The WVU adaptation of Shakespeare’s play – produced by Sarah Neville, an assistant professor in the Department of English at WVU – became a living drama. There were moments during which the tense emotions between father and son were almost palpable. The set for the play was impressive and lively. Audience members saw a shifting, multilevel stage that serves as a king’s throne room in one scene and a tavern in the next. This brings a lot of imagination to the audience, where the most spectacular stage set is the battle scene. The School of Theatre & Dance puts on a show by portraying its battle as a game of chess, in which the main characters are in the front. More dazzling effects came from the smoke and red lights. They help define the moment as something ominous. “There was a lot of effort put into this play,” Wood said. “They were really fast

staff and 36 cast members put their time into “Henry IV” and contributed in showcasing a 16th century play, from the major themes to the costumes.

“Henry IV” opened Wednesday and it will continue to show nightly from tonight through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased

other shows, playing the greatest hits from famous musicians. “Mamma Mia!” played ABBA’s greatest hits and “All Shook Up” showcased Elvis Presley’s, much to audiences’ delight. “It’s much less success-

ful in ‘We Will Rock You,’ which is hampered by a self-congratulatory attitude towards its music as well as a tedious plot and even more tedious characters,” said Margaret Quamme in her review of the show for The Columbus Dispatch. The show received more mixed feedback from Chicago Tribune’s Chris Jones, who said the plot was hard to follow, but the music was fun to listen to. Nevertheless, the plot seems interesting. Set 300 years in the future, humans are under the reign of Globalsoft Corporation that controls everything citizens of the world see and hear. A band of rebels, “The Bohemians,” attempt to break out from this tyranny with the help of Gallileo. They hope to bring back rock ‘n’ roll and free the oppressed.

In twists, turns and big dance numbers, these rebels lead the way to a revolution. Be sure to stay after the bows to see the entire cast lead a final performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The cast is set to deliver a high-energy performance with toe-tapping vocals. Like many other musicals, this show requires a great deal of physical commitment from the performers. “It’s not about physical shape,” said Erika Peck, who plays Oz. “It’s about stamina and endurance.” According to Peck, the show’s selling point is its ability to reach out to diverse audiences, regardless of age. Anyone who attended the show will have something to enjoy and love, be it for the comedy, acting or music. “The greatest thing about

our show is its comedy. It’s the kind of a show for everybody,” Peck said. “You can bring your family, you can bring a hot date (or) you can come with your friends. “Even if you’re not the biggest fan of rock ‘n’ roll, the best thing about Queen was how theatrical they were. And so we can all find a little bit of joy in the party that they had musically.” Peck spoke about how it has been to travel the U.S. with the cast. Born in Canada, Peck is now able to see the U.S. not only as a tourist, but as a performer. She said she can get a feel of the people in a city from how they react in an audience and looks forward to coming to Morgantown. Many people love Queen, and there is much debate about which Queen song is the greatest. Some say “Another One Bites The Dust,” and some say “Fat Bottomed Girls.” When asked what her favorite is, Peck took no time in saying “Bohemian Rhapsody.” So, whether you’re a classic rock fan or just looking for a night of energetic theatre, check out “We Will Rock You.” The show begins at 7:30 tonight and Wednesday in the WVU Creative Arts Center on the Evansdale Campus.

M.T. Pockets Theatre closes ‘Copenhagen’ Jake JarvIs A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

M.T. Pockets Theatre presented the final performance of Michael Frayn’s “Copenhagen” Saturday night. The story followed a surprising meeting in 1941 between theoretical physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg at Bohr’s home in Copenhagen, Denmark. The two were long-time friends and colleagues, cementing the groundwork for modern quantum mechanics dubbed as “The Copenhagen Interpretation.” Though the two had met many times before, this time was different. Heisenberg, a German, was thought to be supplying dictator Adolf Hitler with nuclear energy, which would ultimately lead to nuclear weapons. During the play, the men discuss the moral obligations scientists have, the nature of existence and of course, physics. The question of the evening was, “Why did Heisenberg come to Copenhagen?” No one really knows the answer, and Frayn only offers speculations. Patrick Conner, who played Bohr, gave a marvelous performance. There were times when Bohr was trying to articulate very complex moral decisions in “plain language.” Conner was perfect

at portraying this measured, slow search for words. And two seconds later, he demanded attention with the roaring voice of a father, scolding his son. I felt Patrick Crogan, who played Heisenberg, was a bit out of sorts. The role demands an air of mystery to allow the mind of audience members to wander to different conclusions. At times, Crogan seemed to be leading us in one direction too much. When Heisenberg and Bohr would delve deep into the science of it all, leaving less educated audience members in the dark, Bohr’s wife Margarethe, played by Chris Adduchio, stepped in to put it all back into perspective. For some audience members, however, this was not enough to make up for the content of the play. “Well, actually I thought the acting was fabulous. I thought the play was not as fabulous,” said Judith Stitzel, an audience member. “I thought it was (too much talking) and a little pretentious. But I thought the actors were remarkable.” And I agree. The show ran two hours and 45 minutes with a 15 minute intermission, added to the heavy subject matter, which took away some enjoyment. I found myself glancing at a clock waiting for intermission. “You’ve got to think of the

audience. You don’t want to keep them here that long,” said David Beach, the director of “Copenhagen” and a professor at WVU. “And so, we just have to make sure we keep the thing moving throughout the whole process. There are some natural places where you can just speed up the dialogue and some places where naturally it has to be slow.” Perhaps my favorite part of the evening was the visual impact of the set and costumes. M.T. Pockets does not have a large stage – only 14 feet by 20 feet. The walls were painted a cold silver with a deep black floor. The floor also had a painted map showing the allied countries in World War II. In the very center of the map, the only red dot on the set is Copenhagen. “Working on a very small stage like this and getting everything tight and yet wide enough, but so audience members can enjoy and understand the expanse of the play was the most difficult part of the process,” Beach said. Overall, this play did have faults. The material, though beautifully poetic and stimulating, was daunting. I didn’t feel that I was able to absorb it all in one sitting and would have preferred smaller slices spread out over time. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Words were dropped at the Morgantown Poetry Slam Competition Friday night, hosted by Weezie’s Pub & Club in Westover. This was the second competition organized by Ashton Cutright, who brought the idea from Frostburg, Md., when she relocated to Morgantown. “It’s a place to express yourself,” Cutright said. “You write what you are feeling, and then you go up there and say it. It’s as simple as that, yet still powerful.” The first competition was held in December 2013 and was also held at Weezie’s,

due to the owner’s graciousness of hosting the competition at no additional cost. The competition was comprised of three rounds, with eliminations each round until three poets remained. The final three poets received cash prizes for their work, funded by a $2 cover charge. Six contestants, whose developed verse and lyrical words resonated with the crowd, participated Friday night. Their works had challenged the status quo on topics such as education, privilege and love. “Welcome to the Electric City,” “Covert Narcissist” and “The Closet” were titles of just three of the many poems read by their respective

authors Friday. All six poets stood on the elevated stage with soft-glowing lights behind them, their words and rhythm permeating the attentive crowd and their messages resonating across the club. “Poetry is a powerful way for us to break through the personal solitude of being ourselves,” said Bob Yoshell, a finalist in the competition. It’s true. Impressed by the powerful grace of the contestants’ performances with their poems clearly deriving from a very personal place within themselves, it was impossible for anyone to feel alone in the venue that night. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘Transcendence’ features Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, falls short at box office Nick Wesdock A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

««««« Johnny Depp starred in the debut of “Transcendence,” adding to the list of recent blockbuster flops for the movie star. In its first weekend, the movie – which took $100 million to make – made just more than $11 million at the box office, competing with several other films – most notably “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” It would seem as though all the elements were in place for the movie to be a hit. Depp was the star of the movie, with support from Morgan Freeman and a number of other notable actors, such as Rebecca Hall, Paul Bettany, Cillian Murphy and Kate Mara. It had an original and possibly entertaining plot. And although this was Wally Pfister’s first go at directing, he is well known for his cinematography in Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy and “Inception.” Not long into the film, Dr. Will Caster (Depp), an artificial intelligence scientist and researcher, is murdered by anti-technology terrorists after he creates a controversial new technology called PINN. Before he dies, his wife and partner, Evelyn (Hall), and friend, Max (Bettany), use PINN to upload his consciousness to the Internet. Essentially, Will is living in the computer as a hologram. The movie gets going when Will transforms from a super intelligent human computer into a satirical, power-hungry presence. Bree (played by Mara) tries to stop the couple and enlists the help of government agents and scientists, characters in-

cluding Freeman and Murphy. Despite its efforts, “Transcendence” failed to capture its audiences. Although Depp was the star power behind the film, he played more of a supporting role. Once he was uploaded into the computer, Hall became the main focus of this flick. She plays her conflicted role well but not well enough to make up for the lack of Depp. His last few big blockbuster hits featured the actor in eccentric, off-thewall roles. If that’s the kind of performance you enjoy from Depp, this film is not for you. In fact, his character is the complete opposite of what we’re used to seeing from Depp in films like the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series and “Charlie and the Chocolate

Factory.” Pfister clearly showed his strengths in cinematography but all other elements in the film fell flat. The movie left too many questions and needed to tighten the plot. That said, Pfister should be able to work out the kinks in future movies now that he has experience under his belt. Perhaps the biggest reason for the movie’s lack of success wasn’t any fault of the creative team but rather the competition at the box office. With “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” defying the odds of superhero movies and pulling in more than $26 million in its third weekend, “Transcendence” got a tough break. It may also be no surprise that on Easter weekend, the No. 2 box office movie was chil-

Michael Constantini prepares to make a throw during West Virginia’s loss to Oklahoma State earlier this season.

Following series win over Oklahoma, WVU to take on rival Maryland Terrapins at Hawley Field tonight by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia baseball team found exactly what they traveled down to Oklahoma looking for: a Big 12 series win. The Mountaineers took two of three from the Sooners over Easter weekend, including a 9-5 in the series finale Saturday. The Mountaineers entered the weekend at the bottom of the conference standings, but a dominating Thursday night win began the climb up the ranks. WVU pitcher John Means tossed eight innings of scoreless ball in a

7-0 West Virginia rout. Means struck out six batters in just 88 pitches. “He was anything but rusty,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “That’s as good as I’ve seen John Means pitch. His velocity slacked off a little toward the end of the game, but that’s because we haven’t extended him here in the last couple of weeks.” The Mountaineers jumped on OU early, scoring five runs in the first inning on six hits. Second baseman Billy Fleming and outfielder Jackson Cramer both had RBI singles, while outfielder Jacob Rice knocked in a pair on a double.

WVU finished with 16 hits including a 3-for-5 performance by Fleming and Bobby Boyd. Cramer went 3-for-3 with two RBIs. The Sooners responded Friday night, defeating the Mountaineers, 5-3. West Virginia led 1-0 and 3-2 throughout the contest, but Oklahoma’s two-run eighth inning earned them a victory in the back-and-forth affair. WVU starter Harrison Musgrave pitched all eight innings for the Gold and Blue, allowing five runs on eight hits and striking out five. His biggest mistake came late as Oklahoma catcher Mac James broke a 3-3 tie

we’ve talked about from the first day in our program.” The Sooners had an early 4-0 lead thanks to homers by James and outfielder Hunter Haley. However, WVU scored all nine of its runs in the sixth inning or later. Catcher Cameron O’Brien began the Mountaineer scoring with a three-run bomb to left field to cut the deficit to 4-3. The 6-7-8-9 hitters for the Mountaineers combined to go 8-for-20 Saturday and drove in eight of the team’s nine runs. “Anytime we can get some production from the six through nine guys in our lineup, we’re going to score

a lot of runs,” Mazey said. “That’s what we did.” Reliever Ryan Tezak picked up the win after stepping in for West Virginia starter Corey Walter after the fourth inning. Sean Carley notched his first save of the year as he adjusted to his new role out of the bullpen. WVU sits at 19-15 (4-7 Big 12), while the Sooners ended the weekend 25-16 (5-7 Big 12).

West Virginia brought out the bats in the final game of the series Saturday afternoon. WVU pieced together 18 hits, a season-high, in the rubber game win. “That’s what you call a character win,” Mazey said. “A game like that really shows the character of your team. We had 10 hits through five innings and no runs. Then on our last eight hits, we scored nine runs. That’s the grindit-out, relentless mentality

West Virginia University baseball head coach Randy Mazey knows the bottom of the order has to start producing for the Mountaineers to be in position to challenge for the Big 12 championship. Currently sitting at 1916 and No. 7 in the league with a 4-7 record, West Virginia has been inconsistent at best in the 6-78-9 hole on the lineup. However, this past week things have changed for those guys at the bottom of Mazey’s card. As a result, the Mountaineers earned a much-needed series win over Oklahoma. “We’re getting (production) from the people we said we needed to get it from,” Mazey said. “(It’s not) just the top five guys in the lineup.” Saturday’s 9-5 win over Oklahoma may have been the coming out party that many have anxiously waited for since February for the bottom of the order. The 6-9 hitters combined to go 8-for-20 and knock in eight runs. Catcher Cam O’Brien went 2-for-5 Saturday, including a three-home homer and a two-RBI double. O’Brien wasn’t the only player to come through, though, as right fielder Brad Johnson was

inserted into the lineup to go 4-for-4 and reach base five times. The Mountaineers have been stout at the top of the batting lineup all season. Mazey has often mentioned he’d take his 1-5 hitters against any team in the country. The stats show the coach is correct. Lead-off hitter Taylor Munden is hitting .275 in 2014 and has an onbase percentage hovering around .325 while leading the team in doubles. The No. 2 hitter, Bobby Boyd, leads the team in average (.380) and second on the club in total bases (65). Second baseman Billy Fleming, first baseman Ryan McBroom and outfielder Jacob Rice round out the top five hitters for WVU. Fleming is hitting .353. McBroom, the team’s clean-up hitter, leads West Virginia in nearly every power category as he continues to build on a great senior campaign. Even Rice is hitting a healthy .281 and is second on the team with 20 RBIs. The same production can’t be said for the remainder of the WVU lineup, however. This weekend’s games may have been the spark they have needed. “After the first hit it’s just a confidence booster,” O’Brien said. “You just have to get back to the box and relax.”

Mountaineer utility man Michael Constantini may have done just that as he stepped up to the plate in the eighth inning Saturday. The senior hit his first career home run to add to a WVU lead. “I was pumped for Mike (Constantini) and his first career home run,” Rice said. “He was running around the bases like a little kid. It was fun to see.” Even Thursday’s 7-0 Mountaineer victory also featured a bottom of the order guy starting to heat up. Outfielder Jackson Cramer went 3-for-3 with two RBIs. If West Virginia can start making it a habit to gain some added production in the bottom half of the order, the team should score a lot of runs at the end of the season and be primed for a postseason push in May. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Meghan Carr’s farewell column First off, let me say how much I have enjoyed working for The Daily Athenaeum. It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve started, and time has flown by. I am so grateful I was given the chance to not only write for the paper but to write about sports. I’ve always had a passion for sports. As I am getting ready to say goodbye to the University that has been my home for the last four years, I would like to thank so many people who have helped me along the way. Shannon McNamara, the Sports Information Director with whom I have worked since I started, has been so amazing and has always been willing to help me in any way; I really appreciate everything she has done. My first beat with The DA was gymnastics, and I pretty much knew nothing about the sport. My first assignment was to cover the Gold and Blue scrimmage game, and I still remember how it felt to sit in the press box for the first time. I remember walking to interview head coach Jason Butts after the meet and being so nervous, because I knew he would see right through my fake confidence. I really can‘t thank him or his staff and team enough for all their help over that season. It was the first sport I ever covered, and I will never forget it. I wish him, his staff and all the athletes the best of luck going forward. I would also like to thank head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown and her team for allowing me to follow their journey as they won their second Big 12 Conference title in a row. I think as writers for The DA, we try to appear and write as unbiased as possible, but it was a truly proud moment for me to write the story on their victory over Oklahoma State, and I wish them all the luck in the world. I ended my final semester with The DA covering the WVU rifle team, and I was amazed by how talented those athletes are. It was an honor to cover the team as they won their 16th National Championship. There are so many things I’ve learned over the years from many different people – the athletes and coaches I cover, my professors at the School of Journalism or from my editors. I want to thank Michael Carvelli and Nick Arthur for giving me a chance to work with them. Both are talented writers, and I learned a lot my first year working for them. I would also like to thank Amit Batra and Connor Murray for allowing me to come back and finish my senior year covering sports for The DA. I’m not sure I could express in words how much it has meant to be a part of the Sports staff at The DA. I wish all you guys the best of luck in your future careers. I also wish all the current and future sports staff the best of luck. I know this is probably boring to many people reading this column, so I won’t continue to ramble, but I do want to add one more thing – I never thought, growing up in southern West Virginia, I’d be given a chance to cover sports for the University I grew up idolizing, but I did, and I encourage anybody who has a passion for writing and sports to apply for a job with The DA. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade shoots over Charlotte Bobcats’ Gerald Henderson during the second half of Game 1 of the Heat-Bobcats game Sunday. MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade is not planning on missing any more games this season, and that means life on the Miami Heat equipment room staff is going to get considerably more demanding. Wade keeps the equipment guys busy on game days: He needs at least one pair of new sneakers to start games, a backup pair ready just in case, and usually two full sets of uniforms because his penchant for producing tons of sweat often leads to in-game wardrobe changes. Nobody complains, because everyone around the team knows the Heat are significantly better when Wade is playing. Such was the case Sunday, when Wade scored 23 points and the Heat won Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series against Charlotte. “Can’t get no righter,” Heat star LeBron James said, answering a question about whether Wade looked right. Wade made 10 of 16 shots, added five assists, played 34 minutes and was part of a Heat win for the first time in a month. He downplayed it all afterward, but being on the court, in a win, without setbacks was an extremely positive sign for the Heat guard. “Just a natural day, didn’t have to think too much,” Wade said. “Just was playing and making reads.” Game 2 of the best-ofseven series is Wednesday

night in Miami. The Heat had no formal practice on Monday, though that hardly means it was a day off. When Wade doesn’t play, he’s often working harder than when he is on the floor, between treatments and conditioning and weightlifting and all the things he needs to keep an edge. After he strained his hamstring March 26, Wade wanted to play a few days later. The team kept him out longer than he hoped – or wanted – but the end result was that he was fully healthy for the start of the postseason, which was the biggest key to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. “We had to see certain things before we could clear him,” Spoelstra said. “And nobody wanted a setback. Not now.” That was the mantra with Wade all season, especially after how both knees hurt so much during last season’s playoffs. To get ready for the toughest time of year, Wade first had to accept some tough realities. Wade was 155th in the NBA in minutes played this season, appearing in only 54 games. Most of those absences – starting with the second game of the regular season – were because of a knee-maintenance program. He knew there were critics of how much or how little he was playing, but the Heat were undeterred and Miami Heat’s Dwyane Wade shoots over Charlotte Bobcats’ Al Jefferson in the first half of Sunday’s Game 1. stayed with the plan.

WVU finishes Larry Ellis race The West Virginia University track team recently competed at the Larry Ellis Invitational in Princeton, N.J., this weekend. Senior Chene Townsend led WVU with three top-10 finishes. Townsend claimed second in the 100-meter hurdles with a seasonbest time of 13.54. In her next event, she finished the 100-meter dash in 11.9 to claim second place. Townsend’s time in the 100-meter dash was the fastest by a WVU runner this season. She rounded out her weekend in the 200-meter dash. Townsend finished in 10th place in the event with a time of 25.02. Senior Stormy Nesbit was one of the most consistent athletes for head coach Sean Cleary in the winter campaign. In possibly her

best event, Nesbit finished in second place with a personal-best time of 12.66 meters. In the women’s 800-meter run, sophomore runner Brianna Kerekes took seventh place honors with a time of 2:15.23. WVU’s 4x400 meter relay team rounded out the top10 finishes for the Mountaineers. Sophomores Christa D’Egidio and Alyssa Scherich, along with senior Arielle Gaither and freshman Bria Welker, combined to turn in a fifth-place finish. The group turned in a new season-best time of 3:52.66 to claim first in their heat. The Mountaineers will return to action Thursday through Saturday for the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. —jf

Meb Keflezighi, of San Diego, celebrates his win in the 118th Boston Marathon Monday. BOSTON (AP) — Under heavy security that included a battery of surveillance cameras and police officers on rooftops, nearly 36,000 runners hit the streets Monday in the first Boston Marathon since last year’s deadly bombing, sending a powerful message of resilience. In what some saw as altogether fitting, an American won the men’s division for the first time in more than 30 years, dominating a field that included many athletes who were prevented from completing the race last year. “I showed up, I’m back,

and I am going to finish what I didn’t finish last year,” said Mary Cunningham, 50, of St. Petersburg, Fla., who was stopped a mile short of the finish line by the explosions on April 15, 2013. The two pressurecooker bombs that went off near the end of the 26.2-mile course killed three people and wounded more than 260 in a hellish spectacle of torn limbs, smoke and broken glass. This year, police were deployed in force along the route, with helicopters circling above and bombsniffing dogs checking trash cans.

A total of 35,755 athletes were registered to run, the second-largest field in its history, with many coming to show support for the city and its signature sporting event. “Boston Strong” – the unofficial slogan adopted after the terrorist attack – was everywhere. Kenya’s Rita Jeptoo won the women’s race in a course-record 2 hours, 18 minutes, 57 seconds, defending a championship from last year. She had been hoping this year for a title she could enjoy. American Meb Keflezighi won the men’s title

in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 37 seconds. Cheers rose up as word of the first American man to win in Boston since 1983 spread through the pack of runners. Keflezighi had the names of last year’s victims written in black marker on the corners of his race bib. On Twitter, President Barack Obama congratulated Keflezighi and Shalane Flanagan, the top American finisher among the women, “for making American proud!” “All of today’s runners showed the world the meaning of #BostonStrong,” Obama wrote.

O’s beat Red Sox, 7-6 BOSTON (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles scored six runs off Clay Buchholz in the third inning then held on to spoil Boston’s Patriots’ Day morning game a year after the Boston Marathon bombings with a 7-6 win over the Red Sox on Monday. The Red Sox had a chance to win in the ninth when they loaded the bases with one out on a single by Brock Holt, a double by Dustin Pedroia and an intentional walk to David Ortiz. One run scored on Mike Napoli’s groundout to second, but Mike Carp grounded out to first as Tommy Hunter escaped with his fifth save. The Orioles started the third with consecutive singles by Steve Lombardozzi, David Lough, Nick Markakis, Nelson Cruz and Chris Davis that produced three runs. Adam Jones drove in another on a forceout at

second base before a runscoring double by Steve Clevenger and an RBI single by Jonathan Schoop made it 6-0 and knocked Buchholz (0-2) out of the game. Chen allowed just one hit, a single by Ortiz in the fourth, before the Red Sox scored three runs in the fifth. Bogaerts led off with a walk and took second on Nava’s infield single. After David Ross grounded into a forceout at second, the next three batters drove in runs on a ground-rule double by Jackie Bradley Jr., a sacrifice fly by Holt and a double by Pedroia. In the seventh, Boston cut the lead to 6-4 on Ross’ first homer then had a chance to go ahead after Holt singled and Pedroia walked. But Ortiz ended the threat by grounding out. Flaherty’s RBI single in the eighth made it 7-4.
