THE DAILY ATHENAEUM A case for legalization “Little good is accomplished without controversy, and no civic evil is ever defeated without publicity.”

Friday April 25, 2014

BY ALYSSA LAZAR Correspondent @Dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism offers its students in Advertising 315 an opportunity to present a controversial campaign for a legal form of marijuana as part of a final presentation during dead week. The simulation puts the students in the year 2017 when marijuana is legalized. Omnicom, the agency the students hypothetically work for, introduces “Miller Mellow,” a new brand of marijuana sponsored by Miller beer. The students developed a campaign to present the new brand with a $25 million budget. The campaign primarily targets males between the ages of 21-35.

In the scenario, Budweiser beer also invented its own form of marijuana and launched a “This Bud’s for you” campaign. This campaign served as the biggest competition for Miller Mellow. Rebecca Klado, Megan Woods, Gwen Wygal, Christopher Chow and Jaren McCrae acted as a team of advertisers who developed a campaign with the slogan, “Take control of your chill.” As part of the assignment, students were required to execute all of the different facets of a successful campaign. This group developed a 30-second commercial, three print ads with graphics and six social media outlets including Instagram, LinkedIn and Reddit. Although the scenarios are hypothetical, students may use the campaign as part of their portfolio when they graduate.

“If it ever does get legalized, we could say we already have a campaign ready,” said Jaren McCrae, a senior advertising student in the ADV 315 course. Part of the challenge of the proposal is the controversy surrounding the legalization of marijuana. “It has never been done before and is frowned upon because it is illegal,” McCrae said. Professor James Ebel interrupted the presentations with questions and comments potential businesspeople could ask. Acting as a chief managing officer, Ebel attempted to distract the students and confuse them just as he has seen in the professional world.

Community comes together to clean up city By Meagan Carpenter Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Students at West Virginia University were able to celebrate Earth Day through a community clean up Thursday. The Earth Day Cleanup gave students the opportunity to help make the Morgantown community a cleaner place. The clean up started on the Mountainlair Green with students separated into nine groups cleaning High Street, Spruce Street, College Avenue, Cornell Avenue, Price Street, Willey Street, Snyder Street and Garrison Avenue. All the routes ended at the Dairy Mart, where the city has placed a dumpster for all the trash to be collected. Ansh Kumar, a junior petroleum and natural gas engineering student and a member of the Student Government Association Board of Governors, collaborated with SGA, National Panhellenic Council and the Interfraternity Council to plan the cleanup. “I wanted to have collaborative cleanup projects with different organizations and intermix them together to work to prove to the city that

cares about the environment. “I hope that we can just make an impact by gathering together on this day and maybe try and inspire other people not to litter,” Hutchinson said. Will Lori, a sopho m o re s e c o n d ary education student, attended the cleanup because he wanted to make sure Morgantown stays clean. “I want Morgantown to be more attractive to people Johnnie Armes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM coming to visit the Members of WVU Greek Life sweep glass on Wiles Street Thursday afternoon. city and the University so we can have we are out here work“We want to put out more people come and ing,” Kumar said. “We the message that com- experience the home that are trying to get posi- munity service can really I have made here the past tive feedback and show be beneficial and to have two years,” Lori said.

Public relations students host ‘Stuff The Bus’ supply BY HANNAH WIGAL STAFF WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

A team of West Virginia University public relations students is hosting the “Stuff the Bus” Supply Drive as part of their capstone project. The ELF Enhancement Fund has teamed up with the Morgantown Early Learning Facility, a local parent-owned, nonprofit educational program for children ages 2 to 12, to raise money and school supplies to benefit the program. Stuff the Bus is a community-wide effort to collect school supplies for both Morgantown ELF locations, which serve nearly 150 children. “We thought about what

ELF needed most and what would benefit the children the best,” said Julia Marrin, the ELF Enhancement Fund public relations director. “With close to 150 children, markers are sure to run dry, and ELF is nonprofit, so we thought having a joint supply drive for the University and Morgantown would be a great way to help ELF while creating awareness for the program, also.” The Stuff the Bus drop-off will be held Saturday from 1-3 p.m. in the Hall of Traditions at the WVU Basketball Practice Facility. The WVU men’s basketball team will attend the event to collect school supplies, pose for fan photos and sign autographs. The first 50 people in attendance who donate three

or more items will be given an autographed poster by the WVU men’s basketball team. There will be a silent auction at the drop-off event as well, whern guests can bid on items such as autographed basketballs and T-shirts. “This is a great cause. Morgantown Early Learning Facility is full of young children who are potentially future Mountaineers,” Marrin said. Students and staff who are unable to attend the Stuff the Bus event may drop off supplies in donation boxes located in Martin Hall, Woodburn Hall, Life Sciences Building, Brooks Hall, Allen Hall, the Coliseum and the SGA and Mountaineer Maniacs

offices. The ELF Enhancement fund is seeking writing utensils, art supplies, paper and sanitary products. A detailed list of supplies needed will be attached to each donation box. Accepted items include pencils, markers, paint, glue sticks, notebooks, construction paper and tissues. Marrin said the ELF Enhancement Fund hopes to obtain 10 percent of the yearly amount of school supplies needed at the Morgantown ELF locations. WVU students participating in Stuff the Bus are eligible to earn community service hours through iServe for time spent collecting and donating supplies.

Men to strut their stuff for sexual assault awareness

Men of Morgantown take to the Rail-Trail in high heels to support the Walk a Mile In Her Shoes event put on by the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center in 2012 at Hazel Ruby McQuain Riverfront Park.

By Alexis Randolph Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center will hold its annual Walk a Mile In Her Shoes event Saturday. This march is one of many internationally to raise awareness and stop rape and sexual and gender violence. The marches are aimed toward men, although they are open to everyone. “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is a fun event that is supposed to get people talking about the sensitive issue of sexual violence,” said Jonnie Kifer, prevention education specialist for the RDVIC. “So many sexual assaults go unreported, and without talking about violence, there is no way to stop it.” The walk was started in 2001 by Frank Barid, a rape crisis advocate and marriage and family therapist in California. The main purpose is to actively prevent and raise awareness of sexualized violence against women. Men participating in the walk will be asked to don a pair of high heeled shoes and walk a mile. The shoes are intended to give men an idea of what it’s like to be a woman. Kifer said involving the men is a great way to advance the RDVIC’s goal. “Instead of telling women how to avoid being raped, our goal is to teach men not to rape,” she said. “Men can

help make safe party environments instead of being bystanders and can become an ally to women who are victims of sexual assault.” Prizes will be handed out to the top participants in the following categories: best shoes, most money raised by an individual and largest team. According to Kifer, the community has supported the walk with donations contributed by Papa John’s Pizza, Clutch Wing Shop, Nonna’s Bakery & Deli and Amberlee Christey Photography. “Each year, the walk in Morgantown gets better,” Kifer said. “Last year, about 100 people participated in the walk. The more we promote, the better it is received.” The money raised will go to the RDVIC to help provide shelter, counseling and programs for victims of sexual violence. Kifer said these donations are key to the education of the community. “It is critical to open the lines of communication about sexualized violence,” Kifer said. “For education, it helps shift perspectives from victim-blaming to understanding and openness. One in four women in college will be raped by the time she graduates, and almost half of those women will tell no one.” The RDVIC provides services to men, women and children who have experienced or are experiencing domestic violence, child

Northwestern players to cast historic union vote EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Northwestern University’s football players will cast ballots Friday on whether to form the nation’s first union for college athletes – a potentially landmark vote that will be kept sealed for months and possibly years. The National Labor Relations Board said Thursday it will hear an appeal by Northwestern challenging the decision from a regional NLRB director who ruled the players are university employees and thus have the right to unionize. The board said the ballots will be impounded at least until it issues its decision later this year. If the case lands in court, it could be a far longer before the results of the vote are known. The vote comes one day after leaders at the NCAA endorsed a dramatic proposal to give its biggest and most powerful member schools the autonomy to make decisions for its athletes, including more robust funding of scholarships, the ability to address health concerns and other key areas. Union supporters say they are seeking guaranteed coverage of sports-related medical expenses for current and former players. There have been no raucous rallies or demonstrations on the 19,000-student campus just north of Chicago, just official notices about the vote posted near the Wildcats’ locker room. But there has been plenty of lobbying in the form private meetings, calls and emails, and everyone from coach Pat Fitzgerald to NCAA President Mark Emmert has called for a “no” vote. The 76 scholarship football players eligible to cast ballots know the spotlight is on them, said Ramogi Huma, president of the College Athletes Players Association, which would represent the players at the bargaining table if the pro-union side prevails.

In it, Northwestern said it hoped unionization would not lead to player strikes in the event of a dispute – but if it did, replacement players could be brought in to cross picket lines. “The tension created in such a situation would be unprecedented and not in anyone’s best interest,” it said. The school also said divisions could emerge between scholarship players eligible for union membership and walk-ons, coaches and staff. “There is no question but that the presence of a union would add tension in terms of creating an ‘us’ versus ‘them’ feeling between the players it would represent and those it would not,” it said. Northwestern did not release the document publicly, but The Associated Press obtained a copy and a spokesman for the university’s athletic department, Paul Kennedy, verified its authenticity. Alan K. Cubbage, the school’s vice president for university relations, dismissed Huma’s suggestion that the school was using scare tactics “I would say strongly that Northwestern has conducted an election campaign ... according to the procedures and the rules of the NLRB,” he said. profit and parent-owned educational program,” Marrin said.

Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald speaks at a news conference after his football team participated in an NCAA college spring practice in Evanston, Ill. Northwestern football players will cast secret ballots Friday, April 25, 2014, on whether to form the nation’s first union for college athletes, a potentially landmark vote that will, however, be kept sealed for weeks or months, and possibly years. There has been plenty of lobbying in the form of private meetings, calls and emails, and everyone from coach Pat Fitzgerald to NCAA President Mark Emmert has called for a “no” vote. When outgoing Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter announced in January that he would lead the drive to unionize, helped by CAPA and the United Steelworkers, he said nearly all of his fellow teammates were behind him. Safety Davion Fleming said his teammates slowly began to understand the issues aren’t clear-cut. “When the union talk initially started, it wasn’t very clear what was going on,” said Fleming, who can’t vote because his eligibility is exhausted. “I think they didn’t understand the implications.” Huma said Northwestern seemed to be intentionally misconstruing the

facts, and said the school’s “subliminal messages” included the suggestion that a “yes” vote could throw their amateur status into question. “No one is taking about striking,” he said. “They are trying to rattle players.” The fight has been noticed by incoming recruits, too. “I went there for many reasons, more than just football,” said Justin Jackson, a running back recruit from Carol Stream. “There’s no possible way that it would have deterred me from signing back in February.” Like the players themselves, recruits and their families have a long list of potential questions

should a football players’ union become a reality. One of the biggest issues is whether scholarships would be counted as taxable income. “I don’t feel that we’re really in the position to get involved in anything like that with it yet,” said Phil Jackson Sr., Justin’s father. “But it does obviously would have an impact on the students as far as the scholarship not being a grant but actually being considered income, yeah, that definitely would be a concern. “But at the same time we also understand there’s some important issues that need to be hashed out and we’re kind of letting the process play itself out

for right now.” Trevor Siemian, who is expected to replace Colter as the starting quarterback, has said he will be voting against a union. “I’ll say there’s a significant number of guys on the team who feel the same as me,” Siemian said earlier this month. Fleming also said doesn’t support unionization, though he said the drive has prompted a much-needed debate about conditions for players. After weeks of both sides vying for votes, he said he detects a common sentiment among players. “They just want this to be over – and to focus on football,” he said.

to get the most bang for your buck.” This project was also beneficial for the students to learn how to operate in a professional business setting. “You have to have this kind of professional persona. When you are interacting professionally, you have to be at this level,” Ebel said. One team will travel with Ebel this summer to China and use the campaign again.

South Korea ferry disaster may cloud Obama visit

President Barack Obama, left, and Japanese Emperor Akihito raise their glasses in a toast during a state dinner at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Thursday.

TOKYO (AP) — When President Barack Obama arrives in South Korea on Friday, he will be thrust anew into the role of consoler in chief in a time of crisis, a responsibility he has become all too accustomed to in the United States. South Korea is reeling from the ferry disaster that has left more than 300 dead or missing, with the vast majority of the victims students from a high school near the capital of Seoul. The tragedy has consumed South Korean President Park Geun-hye in the lead-up to Obama’s visit and could distract from the security and economic agenda she had been expected to highlight during her meetings with the U.S. president. Another world issue is shadowing Obama on his four-nation Asia trip: the crisis in Ukraine. In Tokyo on Thursday, the president said at a news conference that the U.S. has a new round of economic sanctions against Russia “teed up” if the Russians provoke further instability in Ukraine. White House officials said Obama did not plan to change his schedule in South Korea as a result of the disaster. But the president probably will balance his expected statements – warnings against North Korean nuclear provocations and calls to lower tensions in regional territorial disputes – with words of condolence for the ferry victims and the people of South Korea. Ahead of his trip, Obama said he planned to reaffirm that “our commitment to South Korea is unwavering in good times and in bad.” The president’s trip will come at a sensitive point in the ferry recovery mission, as officials weigh

when to bring in cranes and begin cutting up and raising the submerged vessel. More than 140 people are still unaccounted for. The April 16 disaster has outraged many in South Korea. Most of the ferry’s 29-member crew survived, and 11, including the captain, have been arrested or detained in connection with the investigation. Park, the South Korean president, said the actions by some of the crew were “tantamount to murder.” Throughout his five years as president, Obama has been called upon frequently to offer reassurance following natural disasters and other tragedies at home, including twice just this month. On his way to Asia, Obama met with families of the more than three dozen people who perished in a mudslide in Washington state. And in mid-April, he spoke at a memorial service for three victims of shootings at Fort Hood, Texas – the second time the president has mourned the loss of life in violence at that military base. Obama will arrive in South Korea on Friday afternoon, local time, from Japan, where he was feted during an official state visit and attended meetings with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Ahead of Obama’s departure from Tokyo, negotiators from the U.S. and Japan worked through the night to try to resolve differences over a stalled trans-Pacific trade agreement. But Japan’s economy minister and chief TPP negotiator Akira Amari said Friday that there had been no breakthrough, though the two sides agreed to continue talks soon. “Overall, we have narrowed differences, but there is no agreement as

a whole,” Amari said. The two sides are still struggling to work on few sectors, especially agricultural products and auto, he said. The president’s overnight stay in Seoul is the second stop on a fourcountry Asia swing that also includes visits to Malaysia and the Philippines. The president has been serving as something of a mediator between Japan and South Korea, two U.S. allies with strained relations due to Seoul’s lingering resentment over Japanese actions during World War II. In March, Obama hosted a trilateral meeting with Abe and Park on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in the Netherlands, and he has been expected to follow up on that discussion in his individual talks with both leaders this week. In addition to a meeting and news conference with Park, Obama will also participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial to the victims of South Korea’s many wars, and he will visit the Gyeongbok Palace. On Friday, he’ll receive a military briefing from U.S. officials at Yongsang Garrison, then speak to American troops stationed in the region. As with each of Obama’s previous trips to South Korea, the White House is closely watching activity at North Korea’s nuclear test site. Commercial sat-

Angry relatives of some of the more than 130 people still missing from the sinking of the ferry Sewol surrounded the fisheries minister and the coast guard chief Thursday, preventing them from leaving the area where families have been waiting for word of their loved ones for more than a week. ellite imagery showed increased action there this week, but not enough to indicate that an underground atomic explosion was imminent, officials at the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University said this week. North Korea last month threatened to conduct its

fourth nuclear test, and there has been speculation it may take that step during Obama’s trip. The president on Thursday called North Korea “dangerous” and said he was not optimistic of a major shift in Pyongyang’s attitude anytime soon. The president will

also reiterate his plea for Asian nations to avoid escalating multiple territorial disputes with China. Seoul’s key concern is over an area in the East China Sea that is effectively controlled by South Korea but falls within a controversial air defense zone China established last year.

Finals prep for WVU students It’s that time of year again when students are flooding the libraries and coffee shops in an effort to raise their grade or simply pass their last class before graduation. Finals week at WVU begins Monday, and hopefully you’ve begun studying or writing. If you are having trouble, don’t worry. There are still resources available to help. The Honors College and Student Government Association have come together to provide a Finals Countdown event, which ends today with world languages. The Downtown Cam-

pus Library and Evansdale Library are open until 10 tonight and will be open 24 hours beginning at 9 a.m. Sunday. Eliza’s Coffee Shop will remain open until midnight Sunday through Wednesday. The Academic Resource Centers in the Downtown Library, Brooke Tower and Fieldcrest Hall will operate normal hours – Sunday through Thursday 6-10 p.m. Students may receive walk-in tutoring for math, biology, chemistry, geology, physics, statistics and general engineering. If you have a group project due or want to study with other members of your class, you can book a

However, be sure to book them as soon as possible, because the rooms fill quickly during finals week. Now for the helpful study tips.

Get plenty of rest and drink plenty of water. A new study from the Smithsonian shows that sacrificing sleep in order to cram actually lowers your performance levels and decreases your ability to remember what you’ve read. For finals that require you to remember meanings of words and difficult concepts, flashcards are

the way to go. If possible, use color-coded notecards to organize topics. If you have notes you need to remember, rewriting them in a different notebook can often help you remember. You refresh your memory of what you’ve gone over, and the act of reading and copying the notes helps imprint the information. By now, you should know how best you study. Do you need to have complete silence? Go to one of the reading rooms in the Wise Library of the Downtown Library. Do you like the hustle and bustle of people rushing in and out? Set up shop

at The Grind. Do you need to blast music and have your TV on in the background? Stay at home and try to be respectful to your roommates and neighbors. Just remember – do what works for you. The Friday before finals week is probably not the best time to try out different study techniques. For a full finals schedule, visit http://registrar.wvu. edu/current_students/ finals/spring-2014.

COMMENTARY

Brooklyn Cyclones fans to celebrate ‘Seinfeld Night’ Ryan Van Buren columnist

The legend of Seinfeld just doesn’t seem to die. For minor league baseball clubs across the country, drawing a buzz and a crowd is almost as important as winning games. The New York Mets Class A affiliate, the Brooklyn Cyclones, seem to have found the perfect gig. According to ESPN, on July 5 the Cyclones will host “Seinfeld Night” to honor the 25th anniversary of the airing of the first episode of “Seinfeld.” This night could be the greatest or corniest event to ever be held at a ball park. The first 2,500 fans will receive a Keith Hernandez “Magic Loogie” bobblehead from his famous episode when characters Kramer and Newman accused Hernandez of spitting at them fol-

lowing a Mets game in Queens. The fans entering the ballpark will not be walking into the regular MCU Park. The park will be renamed to Vandelay Industries Park, after the fake latex company character George claimed he would be working for. Also, any person who shows a business card to prove they are a latex salesman will have free admission into the ballpark. Just when you think the ceremony couldn’t get any more weird, in honor of Newman, mailmen dressed in uniform will be throwing out the first pitch. Fans will also have the opportunity to enter a cereal eating contest because that was Jerry’s favorite food throughout the series. The event I’m looking forward to watching the most will be the dancing competition where contestants will try to dance like

Seinfeld’s ex-girlfriend, Elaine. Any fan of “Seinfeld” knows you never want your dance moves to be associated with Elaine. During batting practice, players for the Cyclones will wear puffy shirts, just like the one Jerry wore on “The Today Show” during a 1993 episode. Everyone knows Jerry Seinfeld’s love for the New York Mets from the show, and this idea will be talked about for years. I’m sure he won’t be in attendance because I would like to think Jerry Seinfeld has better things to do than attend a Class A baseball game in the middle of summer. I think all the ideas they have created will be a hit for the fans who make it to Vandelay Industries Park that night. When it comes to minor league attendance, fans usually come for a different reason than attending major league games. Major league games put a great product on the field

to keep the fans occupied, but minor league talent is nothing compared to the majors, and they are forced to come up with crazy promotions to put fans in the seats. Some minor league clubs give out dollar tickets, cheap food and beer, free shirts and other giveaways, but the Cyclones reached for the stars with “Seinfeld Night.” So if you happen to be in Brooklyn July 5, make sure you drive over to Vandelay Industries Park to witness something that will make more YouTube clips and SportsCenter highlights than any other minor league game we’ve ever seen. Whether you’re a “Seinfeld” fan or not, you have to appreciate the creative and entertaining ideas the Brooklyn Cyclones will be giving their fans in celebration of the greatest TV series of all time. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Cheating in college: where it happens, why students do it and how to stop it bryce buchmann texas a&m

In May 2012 a teaching fellow for a government class at Harvard started noticing similarities between students’ final exams that shouldn’t have been there. The professor brought the case forward and it was discovered that approximately 125 students - nearly half the entire lecture class had been cheating. If students at Harvard - the most prestigious school in the world can be caught cheating in large numbers, it’s safe to assume that cheating happens on every campus much more often than we would like to think. About 75% of college students admit to cheating, suggesting that probably even more than three quarters of college students have done something against the rules to improve their grades. With an increasingly competitive atmosphere and a culture that some say is more accepting of cheating than it was in past generations, cheating has sadly become a somewhat expected phenomenon at universities across the country. It’s hard to say what makes cheating common and acceptable. There are many different opinions about the prevalence of cheating yesterday and today and why students are so likely to take part. Has cheating become more prevalent today than it

Many students lack understanding of what constitutes cheating as most probably haven’t read their student rules. was fifty years ago? According to the Boston Globe, the number of students who admit to cheating has remained constant since it was first measured in 1963. As our culture changes, college campuses become more competitive and internet gives cheating new forms, it seems surprising that the percentage of students cheating would remain the same. While this may or may not tell us something about ourselves and people in general, it clearly indicates that whatever is being done to stop cheating today hasn’t worked. A blog post by Ralph Heibutzki on GlobalPost. com put students’ reasons for cheating in five different

categories. These categories were ambiguous attitudes, competitive pressures, institutional apathy, lack of understanding, and self interest. A student’s decision to cheat could come from any one of these five sources or a combination of more than one. First, ambiguous attitudes among students about what qualifies as cheating may cause more academic dishonesty than intended by students. While most students will call plagiarism cheating, many of them will define plagiarism in a way that allows them to indirectly copy the work of others. Competitive pressures placed on children at a very young age carry on with them

WE’RE HIRING!

through high school and college. With so much pressure to stand out as the smartest in a class, some students may give in to the opportunity to succeed at the price of integrity. Institutional apathy likely causes many students to cheat as they do not see the academic environment as one that deserves their honesty. Just like cheating at Monopoly is easier to justify than tax evasion, if students don’t believe their university deserves high standards then they may see no reason to follow all the rules about grading. Lack of respect for the collegiate institution should also prevent students from report-

ing instances of dishonesty they see around them. Many students lack understanding of what constitutes cheating as most probably haven’t read their student rules. This lack of understanding may lead students to cheat on accident or in a way that isn’t known to be called cheating. Self interest is the final category but would appear to encompass all cheating. Students are hoping to see a return on their investment of time and resources in college and watching someone else make a better grade can be painful. With only his or herself in mind, cheating is hard not to justify when someone can get away with it.

As the internet makes cheating easier than ever and the college environment becomes more competitive, how can cheating be stopped? Tightening the rules on classroom behavior during exams seems like the most obvious and readily available solution. The University of Central Florida has a testing center designed to prevent, or at least limit, cheating on campus. Exam proctors record everything suspicious, measures are taken to prevent students from photographing a test, and students aren’t even allowed to chew gum as it provides a way to hide that they’re talking into a hidden microphone. Since cultural ideas may influence the prevalence of cheating, the best long-term solution may be to take a societal approach. For cheating to be reduced, instead of seeing cheating as something that can’t be done, they must come to recognize that it should not be done. Removing the desire to cheat is the least immediately practical but most assured way of encouraging academic integrity. So instead of laughing it off when you hear a friend’s story about cheating, confront them about it. And when you see someone cheating in class, don’t be afraid to report it to a teacher. Cheating in college poses a threat to all of our educations, and it can only be reduced by us choosing to stop it from happening.

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you’ll want to focus more on your friendships, on greater community involvement and on achieving a goal that is very important to you. If you are single, you’ll socialize to your heart’s content, and it is through this process that you are likely to meet Mr. or Ms. Right. You could have difficulty settling in, but you will. If you are attached, the two of you increase your sense of security together and become even closer. You also opt to take the next step together. What that is will depend on the phase of life you are in. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You’ll wake up feeling as if you can’t be stopped. You will feel centered and ready to initi-

ate a new beginning. If you can, hold off; more news or key information is likely to head your way. A discussion finally could become much easier. Tonight: Vanish with a friend. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HH Zero in on what you want. You could discover that others are there for you, rooting you on. Your words and ideas will be expressed so clearly that there will be no room for confusion. Others will relate far more easily as a result. Tonight: Play out a dream. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH A gathering might be intended for business matters, but it might transform into something else. You will meet new people and be able to open doors that previously had been closed. Others admire your communication and leadership

style. Tonight: Could be late. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HH Reach out to someone you have not spoken with in a while, who presents a wonderfully different perspective. Laughter will surround you, which will remind you of the weekend. Make sure to confirm plans before you walk out the door. Tonight: Only what you want to do! LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Deal with someone directly, and understand that he or she might not be sharing everything. You can’t change this person. Someone close to you has your respect. Know that your caring means a lot. Tonight: TGIF! Invite a dear friend or loved out to join you. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Defer to someone you

care about. If you really want to make this person feel more included in a project, let him or her take the lead. Communication could seem serious and heavy. As a result, you might decide to put off an important talk. Tonight: Where the crowds are. L I B R A ( S E P T. 23- O C T. 22) HHHHH You might want to pace yourself and not push so hard.

Tonight: What starts out as light and fun could evolve into an important talk. SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Others will respond to your serious tone. If you want to close the distance between you and a loved one, you will have to make the first

move. A child or loved one could be far more caring and sensitive than you originally had thought possible. Tonight: Bring on the weekend! SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Listen to news with an open mind. Your personal life might come up as a topic for scrutiny, which could make a difference. Honor a change, and let go of some anxiety. A partner will share a lot more than he or she has in the past. Tonight: Relax with favorite people. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HH Speak your mind, but be ready to get feedback from others. In a discussion with a friend, you would be wise to go over what has occurred with a mutual interest. Understand that you could get a totally different perspective as a result. Tonight: Zero in on some fun times

with friends. AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH Use care with your finances, as you easily could go overboard. Your home is very important to you, and you might decide to make a purchase to add to the quality of your life. Buy a card or a token of affection for a loved one. Tonight: Make it OK to be a little wild. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You will be energized, and you might want to help a friend get past a problem. A conversation with someone you care about, but who is very stoic, finally will occur. You’ll see doors open that could point to a better relationship. Tonight: As you like it.

Adult Swim Fun House provides inflatables for those 18 and older BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR @LACEYPALMER

The Adult Swim Fun House will take over West Virginia University this weekend, when a 40-foot tall inflatable castle filled with 15 themed rooms sets up off campus in the parking lot of the Morgantown Mall. The free event, which is open to all members of the community age 18 and older, will bring popular Adult Swim television shows, such as “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “Children’s Hospital,” “Loiter Squad,” “Metalocalypse,” “Robot Chicken” and “Squidbillies.” “The Adult Swim Fun House is our way of connecting with our fans in a really fun and different way that brings the whole vibe and culture of Adult Swim to life,” said Amantha Walden, director of events for Adult Swim. “A big part of the Adult Swim audience is college students, and for us, this is a great way to connect with those fans beyond television and social media.” As attendees make their way through the huge, inflatable castle, their paths will dictate whether they crawl, slide or sing their way to the exit.

“Guests of the fun house will walk through it, check out the different themed rooms and have a really unique experience that I can safely say they can’t find anywhere else,” Walden said. “We aren’t giving away too many specific details about what’s inside the giant inflatable castle because we want to let fans experience it for themselves, but it’s something you really have to experience to fully comprehend.” The event is also sponsored by Ice Breakers Mints and KFC. Ice Breakers Mints will host a Karaoke Cage, which will encourage participants to sing one of the preselected songs. Once they make their way to the exit, they’ll get to hear their recording and watch others perform, as well. KFC will host the Tippy Tunnel, which is a kaleidoscopic hallway with The Colonel’s spinning face located at the end, and guests will get the chance to document their Adult Swim Fun House experience in the “How Do You KFC?” photo booth outside the fun house. “As sponsors for the event, KFC and Hershey’s Ice Breakers play a hugely important role in making the event possible in the first place,”

wildcat.arizona.edu

Walden said. “Their support allows us to take this thing on the road and visit as many cities as we do, and we’ve also worked really closely with them to have their respective presence and products create great experiences for fans.” The current Adult Swim Fun House tour is nearing

the close, and Walden hopes many fans come out and enjoy the experience while they’re still on the road. “I think the fact that it’s Adult Swim’s take on a traditional fun house experience is really what sets this apart from everything else,” Walden said. “It’s infused with humor

and personality throughout, and we think that’s what makes it a great experience for fans who are looking for something unique and different to do on their Friday or Saturday night.” The event will be held in the southeast parking lot of the Morgantown Mall Friday

and Saturday from 5-10 p.m. Ticketing begins at 4 p.m., and although it is a free event, guests must receive tickets to prevent overcrowding. To learn more about the event, visit http://kfcfunhouse.adultswim.com. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Swing Dance Club hosts live band, dance lessons at Appalachian Swing BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR @LACEYPALMER

The West Virginia University Swing Dance Club will hold its final event of the school year, Appalachian Swing, at St. John University Parish Saturday night. The WVUSDC will provide a beginner’s swing dance lesson at the event prior to an evening of dancing to a live band, the Gravitational Blueshifts from Pittsburgh. “The Gravitational Blueshifts will dish out upbeat jazz and swing standards for us,” said Amy Loomis, the WVUSDC event coordinator. “The classic tunes are familiar but spunky and easy to dance to, and we hope to inspire toe-tapping from a diverse age range of attendees. “We don’t have many swing and jazz dance bands to choose from in Morgantown, so it’s a treat to be able

to bring in a jazz band from Pittsburgh.” According to Loomis, events like these are vital to the Morgantown community. “During a recent forum led by WVU and the City of Morgantown on underage and high-risk drinking, WVUpAllNight was the only program discussed as an alternative to alcoholcentered activities,” Loomis said. “WVU Swing Dance strives to contribute to the culture of Morgantown and campus by offering a fun and social evening in an alcohol-and-drug-free environment at our events and meetings.” The dance is open to all members of the community, and no dance experience or partner is required. The beginner’s lesson will begin at 7 p.m. “Every event starts off with a lesson to give guests an opportunity to feel com-

fortable moving to the music,” Loomis said. “The steps are easy to learn and fun to do at any age, even if you don’t have a partner or have never danced before.” Appalachian Swing is the fourth event in the new partnership between the WVU Swing Dance Club and St. John University Parish. The event follows the success of the Swing & Soul Valentine’s Dance, which drew over 160 attendees in February. Aside from dance lessons and dancing, the event will also feature a game table for those who prefer to sit and listen rather than dance the night away. The WVU Newman Club and WVU Mountaineer Catholics will collect new and used books for their book drive. Items needed include chapter books, textbooks and scholarly journals to send to Callaloo Mews Primary School in Kingston, Jamaica. “As the end of the school

year approaches, now is the perfect time to clean-up bookshelves for a deserving charity,” Loomis said. “It is important for our dances to provide a platform for charitable efforts.” Guests to the event are also encouraged to compete in the Best Dressed Spring-themed Contest for trophies and prizes donated by local merchants. According to Loomis, recommended attire is casual and comfortable, and festive springtime ensembles are encouraged but not required. The event will also feature the return of Morgantown’s only Vintage Bazaar. According to WVUSDC’s press release, affordable vintage clothing and accessories for both men and women, including costume jewelry, hats, purses, neckties and records, will be offered. “By working with small business owners, we are able to bring Morgantown’s

first and only Vintage Bazaar to every live band dance,” Loomis said. “Our vendors specialize in affordable vintage clothing from the 1940s-1980s, vintage jewelry, accessories, vinyl records and other ephemera. The Vintage Bazaar allows our guests to discover an accessible, one-of-a-kind style while growing an appreciation for vintage culture in Morgantown.” Overall, the event aims to mix culture and generations in Morgantown, while providing a safe, fun place to hang out. “There are few community events in Morgantown where generations can mix, and our events seek to bring young and old together,” Loomis said. “We have one attendee who is in his eighties, and he’s always up through the encore.” The event is hosted by the WVUSDC and WVU Mountaineer Catholics, and the WVUSDC provides free les-

sons to the community every Tuesday. Appalachian Swing will begin at 7 p.m. at St. John’s University Parish and run until 11 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door and include complimentary refreshments and door prizes. Parking is free in the adjacent lot. “The entire community is encouraged to attend,” Loomis said. “Students, in particular, will find a welcome stress-reliever between dead week and finals week. Studies suggest that regular dancing once a week can also maximize your brain function, and who couldn’t use a boost before heading into exams?” For more information regarding Appalachian Swing, visit https://facebook.com/ events/1405407679726477/, or visit https://facebook. com/WVUSwingDance to learn more about the group. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

Pop star Avril Lavigne disappoints fans with latest single ‘Hello Kitty’ Ashley denardo associate a&E editor @amdenardo

««««« Avril Lavigne released her self-titled album in November 2013. Her new music competed with her 2007 album, “The Best Damn Thing,” for the most pop with the least substance. That said, her music is still fun and catchy, but that’s about all it is. I gave the album 3 out of 5 stars. Of all of the new tracks,

“Hello Kitty” is definitely the worst. She squeaks her way through meaningless lyrics and repeats a Japanese mantra throughout. Then, the song breaks down into a low-energy dubstep section that builds up to her sexually assaulting the listeners’ ears with a simple but frightening “meow.” On April 22, Lavigne released a much-anticipated music video of this monstrosity. It starts out with Lavigne shouting, “Min’na saiko, arigato! Kawaii!” which means “You rock, thank

you! Cute!” As the camera zooms out, we see four Japanese women dressed in cotton candy-colored clothing standing behind a cupcake-clad Lavigne. The first set is pink and full of cupcakes, pillows and smiley face balloons. Another set throughout the video is a candy store with the logo, “Candy AGo-Go!” on the wall. There is also an ad in the background that says “www. candyagogo.com,” which is a real candy store in Tokyo. The women in the background have blank faces as they move through the kindergarten choreography. Their faces suck out all of the energy there could have been and replace it with a creepy, cult-like vibe. Nearing the halfway

Tokyo doesn’t make her special. The atmosphere of the sets along with the blue, circular-rimmed glasses and other attire sported by Lavigne is a rip-off of Katy Perry’s style and Lady Gaga’s lame attempts at being different. I didn’t expect anything substantial, but there is nothing in this video that is relevant or makes me interested in watching it. I understand she is trying to include her Japanese fans and honor their culture, but as the first music video release of 2014, you would think she would put out something all of her fans can enjoy together. Many critics lashed out at Lavigne for her insensitive racism toward Japan, and she simply laughed it off in a post on Facebook. “RACIST??? LOLOLOL!!! I love Japanese culture, and I spend half of my time in Japan. I flew to Tokyo to shoot this video specifically for my Japanese fans, WITH my Japanese label, Japanese choreographers AND a Japanese director IN Japan,” Lavigne said in her post. She could have kept the Japanese theme with some Gothic Lolita girls, nixing the mock Harajuku style.

Her video received mixed responses from fans. Many comments echoed my thoughts, such as one from a user nicknamed Avril R. “This makes me sad. Where’s that “sk8er” Avril or that mature Avril we all love? All I see here is Avril being trendy and doing Japanese stuff because they (sic) are thousands and it gives her money,” Avril R. said. “I really hope I’m just wrong … I still love, respect and support (her), and I’m looking forward to seeing OUR Avril there onstage and not a Japanese kitty dressed with cupcakes.” In opposition, Facebook user Cara T. said, “It’s sad to see people whine about what music they want to hear. She’s going to make whatever music she wants to because that’s what true artists do. Your judgments are falling on deaf ears. Avril is Avril no matter who ends up liking or disliking her evolution.” I love Avril Lavigne, but I think she and her creative team made a huge mistake with this release. However, her new hairstyle is totally fab. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

Spring Meltdown to raise funds for Friends of Deckers Creek by shawnee moran a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Friends of Deckers Creek will host their eighth annual spring fundraiser, The Spring Meltdown, at Morgantown Brewing Company tonight. This nonprofit organization was formed in 1995 with a goal to clean up the area surrounding Deckers Creek, which begins west of Arthurdale and continues through Morgantown, emptying into the Monongahela River. There will be live and silent auctions at the event as well as performances by lo-

cal musicians Ben Gilmer, Sam Lamont and The Halftime String Band. Hannah Spencer, a volunteer coordinator of Friends of Deckers Creek, said the proceeds collected from this event will go directly back into the organization to help employ workers. “Typically our staff positions and projects are funded by grants, but there are some projects that we would like to implement but cannot fund through grants. These projects are made possible through using donated funds,” Spencer said. “An example of a non-

grant-funded project would be improvements to our Outdoor Learning Park in Sabraton. We would like to add outdoor education components such as interactive activity signs.” The Spring Meltdown will begin at 6 p.m., and participtants are encouraged to buy dinner and start bidding on items in the silent auction. L ocal artists and businesses have donated items for both auctions. Spencer said items from Patagonia, American Whitewater, Mountain Khakis, ENO Hammocks and Immersion Research have been donated for this event.

There will also be themed baskets to bid on, such as photography, a date night and hair and beauty baskets. Gift certificates to local businesses have been donated as well. At 9:30 p.m., Gilmer and Lamont will take the stage to present their one-of-akind music consisting of a blend of blues, folk, rock, Americana and funk. Spencer said Friends of Deckers Creek was involved with choosing bands for the event; Gilmer is one of their board members. “He and Sam Lamont have played together for years and are spectacular,” she said. “The Half-

time String Band is one of my personal favorite local bands. I have seen them multiple times, and they kill it every time.” At 11 p.m., The Halftime String Band will perform, providing participants the opportunity to dance to their blend of acoustic Americana music. Jason Jaros, Bob Spangler and Fred Crozier are not a traditional bluegrass band in any sense. Their music, often described as “jam grass,” has a strong bluegrass influence. The band will perform a number of original compositions at the event and will wrap up the evening as well

as the silent auction. “If you are interested in outdoor recreation, supporting local businesses and nonprofits or believe in cleaning up the Deckers Creek watershed, this event is for you,” she said. “The auction items are fantastic, the bands are incredible, and the people are wonderful. This is definitely not an event to miss.” The event is free to the public until 9 p.m., when the suggested admission amount is $10.

Antonio’s hosts charity dinner, gives back to Morgantown community A&E writer @Dailyathenaeum

Antonio’s Italian Chophouse is giving back to the community by sponsoring a charity dinner for Empty Bowls Monongalia tonight. Empty Bowls Mon. is a local charity that aims to raise funds to combat food insecurity for residents of Monongalia County, increase public awareness of food insecurity and provide service learning projects to local students. According to Empty Bowls’ website, the charity has donated over $65,000 to local meal programs, including Bartlett House, Meals on Wheels, the Caritas House food pantry and The Rack, WVU’s food bank. United Way of Monongalia and Preston counties said one in eight West Virginia residents and one in four children currently live with a food security crisis. But with this, it’s important to remember the effect of food insecurity on collegeaged students. The Rack is located in the Mountainlair and aims to reduce the burden that be-

ing homeless or hungry has on the welfare of students at WVU. Jacqueline Dooley, organizer of this service, said there are no requirements for the program. This helps minimize the stigma around seeking assistance. Dooley said The Rack receives about $2,000 from Empty Bowls annually and is getting ready to apply for more funding. Other than large donations or other grants like this, general donations are sporadic. “There are some students with children and some of our international students may have three or more children and that can be a burden,” Dooley said. The Gaskins House, located on North High Street, is another resource available to students that provides free food. Antonio’s owner Tony Ottaviani said that by supporting this charity dinner, students end up supporting their peers. He said seeing the community directly benefit from events like this is why he’s been doing these events for over nine years at his other restaurant location in Cumberland, Md. Antonio’s will donate a

portion of the proceeds to Empty Bowls. The exact amount is not fixed or based on a percentage but rather based on attendance. Ottaviani said for smaller events, he typically donates less but has donated up to $1,400 for one event. He stressed that he never gives less than $300. “There’s not a set percentage (of the proceeds donated to the charity) because I never know what it’s going to be. The more people you bring, the more money you get,” he said. All of the proceeds from a specialty cocktail and money donated in tip jars goes to the organization. The specialty cocktail has not been chosen yet but will probably be a twist on an Italian Surfer. “It ends up being a good night for the charity and a fun night because everyone has a good time,” Ottaviani said. Included in the night’s festivities will be a special wine raffle. In March, Antonio’s hosted a similar event for the Hope For Hunter charity, which helps raise money and awareness for the rare

Paul McCartney to play at Candlestick Concert SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pop legend Paul McCartney is set to return to Candlestick Park to offer a swan song to the San Francisco 49ers’ former stadium. McCartney’s website posted a statement Thursday confirming that the former Beatle will perform on Aug. 14 at what is being billed as the last concert at Candlestick. His appearance became contentious last month when McCartney’s worldwide concert promoter, Barrie Marshall, mentioned he had visited the 49ers’ new Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara as part of negotiations about a possible opening concert there in August.

A&E Domain hosts Spring Festival 8

Friday April 25, 2014

BY Carly Smith A&E Writer @Dailyathenaeum

South House Productions will be throwing the biggest end-of-the-year party in Morgantown Saturday at the Domain at Town Centre apartment complex. This is the second annual Spring Festival held at the complex, which is situated at its resort-style pool. “It’s an end-of-the-year party for our residents and students who won’t be here during the summer to use our amenities,” said Kirsten Ulm, the Domain at Town Centre leasing and marketing Manager. South House Productions, an event-planning company based in Morgantown, will be hosting the event. South House Productions has put on many parties at bars and other locations around Morgantown. Students and residents will be able to wind down after a busy year and listen to some great music. Bonnie Rash, Boogie Boyzzz, Clintonics, Get Dangerous, Meynard Macol, Nowenknows, DJ Spliit and DJ Strizy will all be performing and appearing at the Spring Festival. Students and residents will also be able to swim

and lay by the pool the Domain offers, complete with palm trees and breathtaking views of Morgantown. There will be contests, prizes and giveaways at the event, as well. Prizes will vary but could include flatscreen televisions, Beats by Dre headphones or Playstations. Last year, one of the main contests was a dance battle, so those planning to attend should prepare to practice their moves. Food trucks and catering will be on site from 5-10 p.m. The sponsors of this year’s Spring Festival include Kegler’s Sports Bar and Lounge, Printscape and Whisper Nightclub and Lounge. The official after-party for Spring Festival will be held at Whisper Nightclub and Lounge with the doors opening at 9 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to continue the party at Whisper for a chance to win more prizes. The Spring Festival has been a huge hit in the past, bringing in thousands of WVU students and spreading the word about the Domain. The Domain opened for residents at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year. The event served as a great marketing tool for

The results were good, and we’re looking forward to this year.” The ground rules for the Spring Festival are as follows: 1. Have fun, enjoy the pool, hear great music and make memories. 2. Be respectful to the staff, property and each

other. 3. No glass. Use plastic or bring a keg. 4. You are over 18 and assume all risk. The Spring Festival is free to all WVU students. Students can utilize the free shuttle to the Domain, which will pick up at the Domain Clubhouse, High Street Courthouse, Hodges turn-around and the Engineering PRT Loop. The shuttle will run every 20 minutes from these locations between 3-10 p.m. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Bonnie Rash to headline Domain’s Spring Festival by lacey palmer A&E EDITOR @dailyathenaeum

Bonnie Rash, a pop/rap duo based in the Washington, D.C., area, is visiting Morgantown this weekend, and they are already quite familiar with the area. Two former West Virginia

University students, Teddy “Beats” Bloom and Samy K, make up the duo that’s been rocking D.C. since 2011. Bloom lays down the beat and Samy supplies the vocals. “We are just two funky white dudes making party music to chase your afternoon beer or late night random make-out session at the

bar,” Bloom said. “We think we look like we sound, so it’s easy to pick us out of the crowd.” Bonnie Rash’s pop/hiphop sound is bringing in new fans daily. The duo recently claimed the runner-up spot in Washington City Paper’s Best Local Hip-Hop Artist of 2014 competition.

“We make party pop, so anything that gets the party popping is how we describe our genre,” Bloom said. “Think Mike Posner meets LMFAO meets Beastie Boys with a little more ratchet.” Bonnie Rash will be playing at the Domain at Town Centre’s Spring Festival Saturday and plans to take the

celebration by storm. “(Expect) a party,” Bloom said. “We bring high energy, whether it’s squirt guns, break dancers or a skinny white dude named McThrusterson thrusting on stage. If you come to a show, expect to spill a drink and dance your booty off.” After attending WVU and

glittarazzi.com

watching many acts at 123 Pleasant Street during his time in Morgantown, Bloom knew he, too, could one day play on the stage. “It’s always great to come back to quarter beers and it feels like a personal homecoming to me, especially because I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity in Morgantown before I came back,” Bloom said. And the Domain’s Spring Festival is just that. With live music, food, games and partying, the festival promises to be a great time for all. Bonnie Rash continues to make a name for themselves in the industry. Currently, they’re finishing up an EP with their Hippie Life Krew, which also features artists Visto, Itz2Eazy and Pinky. “(The EP) brings all of our unique sounds together,” Bloom said. The Hippie Life Krew will also be joining Bonnie Rash for their performance at the Spring Festival. To learn more about the Hippie Life Krew, visit http://facebook.com/ HIPPIELIFEKREW. Bonnie Rash also collaborated with another local artist, female rapper A. Breezy. The duo partnered with A. Breezy to create the song “La La La,” which can be found at http://soundcloud. com/#bonnierash/la-la-la. In terms of Bonnie Rash, the duo is also finishing their next, currently untitled EP, which they will premiere songs from at the Spring Festival. On Cinco de Mayo, the group will release the video for their single, “Hot Pursuit.” “Like most up-and-coming artists, we just want to broaden our fan base, and we enjoy seeing our music help make any regular party an extraordinary party,” Bloom said. “Did we mention we love to party?” So, #Rashholes, as Bonnie Rash refers to their fans, prepare for an ultimate party when the duo takes the stage Saturday at the Domain’s Spring Festival.

CONFERENCE CLASH

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Pitcher Harrison Musgrave delivers the ball to the plate against Oklahoma State earlier this season.

Mountaineers look to continue hot offensive stretch against Kansas State this weekend by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia baseball team is looking to keep its bats hot this weekend as the team hosts defending Big 12 champion Kansas State. The Mountaineers have won five of their last six games, including a 14-2 romp of Maryland Tuesday night and a 10-3 win over in-state rival Marshall Wednesday night at Hawley Field. “When we lost six and seven in a row we kept our head up,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “We kept grinding. We stayed proud. People’s true colors show when things go wrong. We stayed on course, and we deserve to have this thing flipping on us now.” Sitting at 21-16 and 4-7 in the conference, WVU currently sits in seventh place in the Big 12 Conference.

The Wildcats are 23-19, but just 4-8 in the league, good for last place. “I think we’re playing with supreme confidence right now, and that really helps when you get into a huge series like this,” Mazey said. “The offense is clicking, but who knows what the results are going to be. At this point in the season, I feel really good about this team.” The Mountaineers will send ace Harrison Musgrave (3-3, 2.18 ERA) to the mound in the series opener tonight. Musgrave has lost his last two appearances in consecutive weekends. Left-hander John Means (5-1, 1.41) will pitch Saturday, and Ross Vance (2-0, 3.00) will be inserted into the weekend rotation for the first time. Kansas State will counter with Levi MaVorhis tonight. The leader of the rotation is 5-4 with a 2.70 ERA in 2014. Jordan Floyd

(0-1, 4.67) and Nate Griep (3-3, 3.12) will take the hill Saturday and Sunday. The Wildcats have five hitters who hit over .300 in their lineup, including team leader Ross Kivett. The defending Big 12 Player of the Year is hitting .340 with three home runs and 28 RBIs in 42 games. “(Kansas State) is really offensive,” Mazey said. “They’re the best hitting team in the league. Don’t let their record fool you – that lineup of theirs from top to bottom is really good. They’re capable of scoring eight or 10 runs a game if you’re not careful.” The Wildcats are hitting .298 as a team, which is the highest in the Big 12. The team averages nearly six and a half runs a game. For West Virginia, outfielder Bobby Boyd continues to lead the charge offensively. After homering and hitting a triple Tuesday night, Boyd is hitting .384 with a slugging percentage of

.472. Second baseman Billy Fleming (.347) and first baseman Ryan McBroom (.340) are also producing mightily at the top of the order. Hitting .288 as a team, the Mountaineers are noticing a new trend at the plate. WVU has gotten steady production from the bottom of the order for the first time this season in the past two weeks. Outfielder Brad Johnson and catcher Cam O’Brien

are 13-23 and 7-20, respectively, in the last five games. The two have combined for 16 RBIs. “We’re going to have to continue to do what we’ve done the last four or five games,” Mazey said. “Pitch, play defense and get hits at the right time.” West Virginia and Kansas State will battle in a weekend Big 12 series starting tonight at 6 inside Hawley Field. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

JON FEHRENS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Jon Fehrens’ Farewell Column Before I get into thanking everyone who has made my journalism dreams in college come true, I want to send a message to the underclassmen at West Virginia University – your school has amazing opportunities all around you. All you need to do is go out and get them. This school has so much more to offer than bar specials on the weekend or an awesome house party on a Saturday. What I found out later than I would have liked was that Monday through Friday is much more rewarding than Friday through Sunday. In my final years of college, I have become friends with classmates and even professors just by taking the opportunity to get to know them. I got rid of the stigma I held against professors, and ever since I have enjoyed and learned so much more in my courses. If I can offer any kind of senior advice, it’s don’t let the time pass you by. Join a club that interests you or even make the trip to Blue Hole one weekend – just go out and enjoy what this beautiful campus and state have to offer. What I’m trying to say is your time at WVU is precious and graduation may seem forever away, but trust me, it comes quicker than you think. As my college days are rapidly coming to an end, so are my days with The Daily Athenaeum. I remember three years ago when I wanted to write so badly for The DA that I applied to the Arts & Entertainment section because they were hiring. Eventually I got an interview with former Sports

Junior safety K.J. Dillon celebrates with redshirt sophomore Jarrod Harper during an away game at TCU in the 2013 season.

by anthony pecoraro associate sports editor @anthonypecoraro

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen will be entering his fourth season at the helm for the West Virginia football team, but with a multitude of issues over the last three seasons for his squad, Holgorsen knows his entire team needs to step up to compete with the rest of the Big 12 Conference in the fall. Although there was inconsistent play on all three sides of the ball for the Mountaineers in the 2013 season, Holgorsen said the defense needs to step up during the 2014 season and said he’s been pleased with the defensive progress so

far during spring practice. “I’ve been happy with the progress of the defensive line. Those guys are learning to be unselfish and hold their lines,” Holgorsen said. “We have so many guys with experience.” Experience is something Holgorsen hopes will assist this team after the debacle that was the Mountaineers’ second season in the Big 12, finishing 2-7 in conference play last fall. Last season, Holgorsen said he was impressed with two defensive players especially – junior safety K.J. Dillon, who finished the season with 28 tackles, and junior safety Karl Joseph, who started all 12 games at free safety for West Virginia and led the Big 12 with four fumble recoveries.

“We have guys on that second level who have played a bunch, but the biggest difference I see (is) with K.J. Dillon and Karl Joseph. Those guys are extremely disruptive off the edge,” he said. On top of Dillon and Joseph impressing Holgorsen and his staff this spring, Holgorsen knows he can rely on one other defensive player – redshirt junior linebacker Isaiah Bruce. Following WVU’s annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, Bruce said he thought the entire team played well, but he understands a lot of work needs to be done before the season opener against Alabama at the end of August. “I think we did some good things. I think we can

mel moraes/the daily athenaeum

use more improvement on other things,” Bruce said. “Overall, I think we had a pretty good day.” Bruce finished the 2013 season with 43 tackles and earned a fifth place finish in the Big 12 with three forced fumbles during the 2013 season, but he said he plans to keep improving on all aspects of his game going into next season. “I definitely improved over the spring. I got stronger, faster and more mentally prepared as far as knowing what to do in certain situations,” he said. “Putting me in the middle, instead of outside, has really helped me learn a lot. It’s all about being stable at one spot.” anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

Pineda banned 10 games for pine tar BOSTON (AP) — New York Yankees pitcher Michael Pineda was suspended for 10 games Thursday after being caught using pine tar. He said he won’t appeal the penalty that will cost him two starts. “I accept it,” Pineda said before Thursday night’s game at Fenway Park. “I know I made a mistake.” The commissioner’s office announced the ban, which started immediately. Pineda was ejected in the second inning of Wednesday night’s 5-1 loss at Fenway Park after umpires found the pine tar on his neck. After the game, Pineda admitted he used the pine tar to help him grip the ball on a cool, windy night. “I feel so bad,” Pineda said Thursday. Pineda said he had never used pine tar before this season. The ejection set off a debate in the baseball world about pitchers who try pine tar, and whether it should be allowed in certain circumstances. Many former aces

Jon

“Bones”

Jones

said they had done it, albeit in a more discreet manner. Rule 8.02(b) prohibits pitchers from altering the ball to gain an unfair advantage, and forbids them from having a foreign substance on them or in their possession on the mound. Pineda wasn’t seen with the pine tar in the first inning, when the Red Sox roughed him up. Boston manager John Farrell asked plate umpire Gerry Davis to check Pineda after two fast outs the next inning. Davis went to the mound, touched Pineda’s neck and ejected him. Earlier this month, Pineda pitched well against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. Television cameras showed a substance on his hand during that outing – Pineda said it was dirt, not pine tar. Pineda said he didn’t use pine tar in a start against the Chicago Cubs, in between his Red Sox outings. Among other suspensions of pitchers for pine tar in the past decade, Tampa Bay’s Joel Peralta was pe-

nelly and Tavarez were cut to eight days after they asked the players’ association to appeal, and Peralta dropped his challenge with no reduction.

WVU linebackers taking next step in development by doug walp sports writer @dougwalp

T:7.2"

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Linebacker Isaiah Bruce dives to make a sack against Oklahoma State during the 2013 season.

After two consecutive years of West Virginia’s defense languishing at the bottom of the Big 12 Conference, the Mountaineers’ second level is ready to make a more significant impact and prove they can slow down the conference’s multitude of highoctane offenses in 2014. “Today was the last day with the pads, but we just can’t wait to put them back on and just get after it,” said redshirt junior linebacker Isaiah Bruce following the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game. “We have something to prove now, so (we are) definitely going to understand that and go out like we’re trying to prove something. “Nobody wants to have a season like we did last year, especially as a defense.” Specifically, West Virginia’s seasoned linebacker

corps returns this year with as much depth, familiarity and perhaps potential as any defensive unit across the field. “(In) the second level, guys, we’ve got so many guys with experience now,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “(Nick) Kwiatkowski, and Isaiah Bruce, we’re going to add Jared Barber and Wes Tonkery. Brandon Golson didn’t play (in the spring game), but he’ll be fine. “Edward Muldrow is athletic, (Al-Rasheed) Benton is athletic. We’ve got guys on that second level that have played a bunch.” Overall, the Mountaineers have 10 linebackers on their roster returning who have played at least one full season in the Big 12 at West Virginia. WVU’s linebackers accounted for nearly half of the team’s entire sack total last season to go along with 11 forced fumbles, but Bruce said they can be even more

effective if they can learn to anticipate what their opponent is going to do next. “I want to know everything like the back of my hand,” Bruce said. “I want to know and see what’s coming before it actually happens – I can play a lot faster. So I’m definitely going to be in the film room all the time, and definitely working on technique so I can get to that point.” Bruce said he’s become more comfortable closer to the middle of the field, and the move has actually helped him improve quite a bit in a number of different areas. “Putting me in the middle instead of outside has really helped me learn a lot,” Bruce said. “It’s all about being stable at one spot. I definitely improved over the spring. I got stronger, faster and more mentally prepared as far as knowing what to do in certain situations.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU to compete in Penn Relays

Get the phone you want for zero down.

The West Virginia University track team will compete in the 120th edition of the Penn Relays in Philadelphia Thursday through Saturday. The event will include both high schools and colleges from 37 states. “It has been a few years since we brought a group of this size to Penn,” said head coach Sean Cleary in an interview with WVUsports.com. “We are starting to get more of our best athletes into the mix as the season progresses.” The meet began Thursday at 9 a.m. with the women’s discus throw and will conclude Saturday with the women’s 4x400 relay. Several Mountaineers will try to carry the momen-

Editors Michael Carvelli and Nick Arthur. I can’t thank them enough for bringing me on to the staff. In my three years writing for The DA, I have covered a variety of sports. Meghan Carr said it perfectly in her goodbye column. As a journalist, you are supposed to remain unbiased while watching sports, but that’s almost impossible after talking with players and coaches on a daily basis. When Jill Kramer and her volleyball team won their first-ever Big 12 Conference match and I saw her jump into the arms of her players, I would be lying if I told you I wasn’t smiling the entire time. When Jess Harlee ripped the cover off the Big 12 championship trophy to show her eager teammates, that smile returned again. It has been an absolute

tum they earned in Princeton, N.J., at the Perry Ellis Invitational. Senior Chene Townsend led the Mountaineers by placing second in the 100-meter hurdles and 100-meter dash, while recording a season best time in each event. On the field, senior Stormy Nesbit recorded her best triple jump mark of the season and took second in the event. “Penn is a great opportunity to get out and compete in front of 50,000 fans and feel the pressure that comes with those crowds,” Cleary said. “I am expecting for us to take another step forward with our team as the season moves on.” —jf joy to write and cover sports at WVU and that wouldn’t have been possible without an amazing staff. The DA from top to bottom is full of talented writers and editors. Every day when I pick up the paper, it doesn’t matter what section I turn too, there are always well-written articles that captivate readers. I can confidently say I wrote at one of the best college newspapers in the country. Before I sign off, I have to thank my Sports Editors Amit Batra and Connor Murray. You would never know this was their first year as editors because they did such a good job. Thank you guys for an awesome senior year. With that, goodbye everyone. West Virginia University and The Daily Athenaeum’s standards and marks will stay with me for the rest of my life. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs, Max Scherzer struck out 10 and the Detroit Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox 7-4 Thursday. Cabrera hit a pair of twoout singles for his RBIs. Rajai homered, doubled, singled and drove in two runs. Scherzer (2-1) allowed two runs and seven hits in six innings, and was pulled with a high pitch count. Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his fourth save in six tries. He got the final two outs on a strikeout where Jose Abreu was called for interfering with catcher Bryan Holaday’s throw to second base on a stolen-base attempt. Jose Quintana (1-1) allowed three runs in six innings. Tigers reliever Al Alburquerque pitched the seventh, but Joba Chamberlain allowed two runs in the eighth to let Chicago pull within one. Detroit scored twice in the bottom half. The teams traded runs in the second, with Adam Dunn hitting a long homer over the scoreboard in right-center field before the Tigers answered with Austin Jackson’s triple and Nick Castellanos’ single.

Detroit went ahead in the third when Ian Kinsler singled, advanced on a wild pitch and scored as Cabrera slapped an outside pitch the other way for a single. Chicago scored just once in the first five innings, striking out nine times, but forced Scherzer’s pitch count up to 96, meaning that Detroit would need multiple innings from its struggling bullpen. Davis made it 3-1 in the fifth with his second homer of the season, a shot to left that cleared the Tigers bullpen. Dayan Viciedo left off the White Sox sixth with a triple when Torii Hunter lost a fly ball in the sun. Alexei Ramirez followed with a sacrifice fly to cut Detroit’s lead to one run on Scherzer’s 102nd pitch. Ramirez, who made several outstanding defensive plays at shortstop, prevented a run with a diving stop on Davis’ grounder in the seventh. It went for an infield hit, loading the bases with one out, but Maikel Cleto got Kinsler to pop out. Daniel Webb came in and Cabrera bounced his second pitch up the middle for a two-run single.
