Preston talks St. Paddy’s day arrests by taylor jobin staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia’s second ever Coffee with a Cop event took place last night at Shoney’s Restaurant in Sabraton, W.Va. Ed Preston, the Morgantown chief of police, and Officer Jason Hammond were in there to represent the police force and improve community relations and communication. Councilmember Ron Bane and Noel Hoffman, a sixth ward city council candidate, were also in attendance. One of the first things dis-

cussed was Saint Patrick’s Day. Preston said this year was steadier than past years, however, there were still 47 arrests, six DUIs and 118 citations and counting. Hammond said working on Saint Patrick’s Day isn’t necessarily hard, it’s just that the constant calls coming in make the day difficult. He came to work at 3 p.m. and left at 4 a.m., the next day. Preston elaborated by saying it’s the array of calls that make Saint Patrick’s Day challenging. “It’s a whole variety of calls. I ended up making an arrest; it was kind of a goofy

Morgantown to host its first marathon race by emily leslie staff writer @dailyathenaeum

With the tagline “26.2 Almost Heavenly Miles,” the first-ever Morgantown Marathon will take place this fall on the weekend of Sept. 18 to support veterans and showcase West Virginia. West Virginia University students and members of the Morgantown community are encouraged to participate and volunteer to make the first marathon in Morgantown a success. There will be several events, including the Marathon, Half Marathon, Mountain Mama 8k, Inaugural Mile, VIP Reception, Health and Fitness Expo and a Pre-Race Dinner. Jamie Summerlin, the race director of the Morgantown Marathon event, explained some of the goals he hopes to accomplish by having this race in Morgantown. The first is to promote a positive reputation of West Virginia and show off the beauty of the state. “We have a tremendous amount of beauty here in the state, especially here in Morgantown – it’s something to showcase. I want to present it in a very positive light to people that will be coming in from out of town,” Summerlin said. “We have people who have registered from Australia, Germany, Hawaii and 17 other states around the country including California, Florida, Colorado and New York.” Not only does Summerlin hope to create a positive outlook on the Morgantown community for participants coming from all over the world, but he also aims to encourage a healthy lifestyle

in West Virginia, which has the second highest obesity rate in the nation. The Health and Wellness Expo will feature Crossfit gyms, regular gyms, chiropractors, massage therapists and more from the local community. “Far too often we fall at the bottom of every good list and at the top of every bad list in the country. So, what I’m trying to do with this race in this community is to get people thinking about their own health and wellness and to find out about the opportunities that exist within the community, and then to take steps toward getting themselves healthier by changing their lifestyle,” Summerlin said. The Morgantown Marathon will also help support Operation Welcome Home for veterans and members of the military returning home. There will be a 20 percent discount code offered for any veteran or current military member who registers for any event. “I want to raise awareness and support for our military and veterans with Operation Welcome Home, the organization that this race is supporting helps veterans and military members transition back – helping them with job preparation, finding good jobs and just helping them succeed whenever they return. They served us bravely, now it’s our turn to serve them,” Summerlin said. Summerlin encourages WVU students to volunteer for this event, claiming that people are needed to work the water stations, the Expo, the finish line and to help keep runners going in the right direction. This race is a

arrest, I was standing with an officer who was writing tickets and a lady came up to me (saying) ‘officer, officer there is a man in my house,’” he said. “A guy had gotten drunk and he thought he was at his buddy’s house, but he couldn’t get the door open so he climbed through the window. Well, the lady comes home with her kids and there’s a stranger in her house.“ This year was steadier than past years thanks to less destructive crowds, according to Preston. His main reasoning was the lack of warm weather, no “I’m Shmacked” and that it was on a Tuesday

and not the weekend. Another topic of discussion was protecting one’s home and belongings against robberies. One citizen in attendance talked about how she had heard that the majority of break-ins happen because of the homeowner’s habits. Preston agreed with her. He explained that, in his experience, most armed robberies have one thing in common: Drugs. “(Around) 75-85 percent of all armed robberies we have ever had, residential armed robberies included, typically are the result of their lifestyle,” he

said. “A drug dealer robbing somebody that owes them money, somebody robbing the drug dealer to get the drug dealer’s money or the drug dealer’s drugs.” He then warned that there will most likely be a string of robberies over break, as that is one of the most frequent times of burglary during the year. Bane raised the issue of the lack of cabs in Morgantown. He also spoke about how a recent bill to get ride sharing companies like Uber to Morgantown failed. Preston was in favor of the added help in getting students and citizens home

safely. “I will say ‘bring it on.’ We have enough space to support two or three more cab companies, not two or three cabs,” Preston said. Morgantown alone has more DUIs than any given county in the state. Preston also had some sound advice for students when they first come to West Virginia University. “If you saw it on Jackass, or if you saw it on Buckwild, its either going to get you in the hospital, or get you arrested, or get you killed,” Preston said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia University’s President E. Gordon Gee strikes conversation with students before the dinner began at the Honors Hall RFL apartment.

Students ask Gee about his future plans for the University during dinner by jennifer skinner staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Last night, students in the Honors College had the opportunity to eat dinner with West Virginia University President E. Gordon Gee and ask him questions regarding his future plans for the University. About 20 students who live in Honors Hall gathered over pasta, salad and breadsticks in the Resident Faculty Leader Apartment, while Gee spoke of his career in

higher education and why he believes WVU is in an extremely special place as far as its responsibility to serve not solely the student body but also the State of West Virginia. Students discussed with Gee their views of WVU and how its value to the state demands the support and passion of all students. Gee addressed their inquiries such as, “How exactly do you plan to change the University?” and “Where do you think WVU is now?” and, of course, “How’s your bracket doing?”

WVU is in a period of change, as Gee said, and his conversations with students provided him with input on how to overcome challenges and make WVU the place it needs to be. “It’s a unique experience. Not a lot of students get to have face time with the President and get insight into his ideas for the University,” said Tanner Filben, a freshman biomedical student. Gee’s presence in Honors Hall

Report: W.Va. public colleges, universities need more funding for maintenance CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia is not giving its public four-year colleges and universities enough money to maintain their campuses, a report prepared for the Higher Education Policy Commission said. The aging institutions need $50 million of annual spending on deferred maintenance. But capital investment has been sporadic and “reliant on onetime funding,” said the report by Guilford, Connecticut-based Sightlines, an education-facilities advisement company. The report was presented to the

commission last week, The Charleston Gazette said. According to the report, Shepherd University is the youngest public campus, with an average renovation age of about 27 years. The oldest campus is West Virginia University Institute of Technology, at more than 55 years. Higher education vice chancellor Ed Magee tells The Charleston Gazette (http://bit.lOverall, West Virginia’s higher education facilities are second oldest in a peer group that includes nine other publicly funded systems the company works with.

Renovation is taken into account by the age calculation. States with older but better maintained campuses are considered younger by “weighted renovation age,” Peter Reeves, associate director of member operations for Sightlines, told the newspaper. “The current levels of investment are not enough to keep deferred maintenance from growing,” he said. He said the report shows that West Virginia colleges and universities have historically missed the funding target, which has risen over time. Colleges ex-

ceeded the target in 2012 and roughly hit it in 2013 before funding declined in 2014 to about $44 million. The commission will use the $709,000 report to develop a facilities plan for campuses. said Ed Magee, vice chancellor for finance for the commission and the state Community and Technical College System. “We need to be good stewards of our buildings and our equipment and our capital assets,” Magee told the newspaper. “So it is important to fund improvements and make sure we perform the upkeep that we should.

California governor proposes $1 billion in drought spending SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — As California copes with a fourth straight year of drought, Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders on Thursday proposed legislation to accelerate more than $1 billion in water spending and urged residents to do their part to conserve. Winter is ending in California without enough snow and rain to replenish reservoirs, offering little relief from the worst drought in a generation. The proposed legislation includes $128 million to ease dire water shortages in some communities; the financial struggles of unemployed farm workers in the Central Valley; and dry conditions that contribute to wildfires. The rest of the funding comes from voter-approved bonds — including a $7.5 billion water measure passed in November — to speed up

water projects that can help communities prepare for future dry years. “We need to get the money out the door now for shovelready projects and existing water programs that only need funding to get started,” Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon said. “No delay. No red tape.” Nearly two-thirds of the funds in the package would go to improve flood control structures by using leftover money from a 2006 voter-approved bond measure. Lawmakers said climate change is contributing to sudden floods — even in dry years — and flood protection protects drinking water supplies. “We maximize the water we do have if we can direct the flood waters in a way that’s safe for communities,” said Assemblyman Marc Levine,

a San Rafael Democrat who chairs a water committee. More immediate funding includes $20 million for additional emergency drinking water for communities with dry wells; $24 million for food banks; and $16 million to help fish and animals threatened by vanishing streams and rivers. Unemployment in the agricultural Central Valley has reached 14 percent and domestic wells are running dry in a handful of parched communities such as East Porterville, where the state has already spent $500,000 to provide bottled water for 290 families. Brown said the drought has highlighted fundamental questions about how the state uses water and will require Californians to adopt innovative solutions. “Growing a walnut or an

almond takes water. Having a new house with a bunch of toilets and showers takes water,” Brown said. “So how do we balance use and efficiency with the kind of life that people want in California?” The measures are expected to come for a vote within a week and will need majority approval from the state Legislature which is controlled by Democrats. Republican legislative leaders joined Brown at a news conference supporting the bills Thursday but were not involved in crafting the proposals. Such spending is normally approved as part of budget negotiations that last through June, but lawmakers said their action will help kick-start the projects sooner. The plan is labeled as emergency legislation, but much of the funding has been

available to the state for years. It could take more than year for some of the projects to produce a noticeable increase in water supplies. “This is a Band-Aid,” said Assembly Minority Leader Kristin Olsen, a Modesto-area Republican. “This is a temporary small step toward fixing a monumental problem.” The water in the Sierra Nevada snowpack — California’s largest water source — is far below normal. Some drought observers fear it may never return to normal, requiring a fundamental change to California water policy. Continuing dry conditions drove state water regulators to ramp up mandatory water restrictions this week that prevent Californians from watering their lawns daily and require that customers ask for water at restaurants rather than having it automatically

served. Critics have questioned whether the measures go far enough given the severity of the drought. Brown said he’s prepared to ramp up action if the drought gets worse. “Don’t have any doubts. We are going to increasingly control the use of water to the point where you have to get a lot more efficient, it’s going to be expensive and everyone has got to do their part, and they will,” Brown said. The water spending legislation came a year after Brown signed a $687 million drought-relief package, most of which went to accelerate water infrastructure projects. A third of that funding has still not been allocated and the Department of Water Resources has not yet recommended how the money should be spent.

US hopes reward offers can help net foreign cyber criminals WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI considers Evgeniy Bogachev one of the world’s most prolific and brilliant cyber criminals, slapping his photos — bald, beefyfaced and smiling faintly — on “Wanted” fliers posted online. The Russian would be an ideal target for prosecution — if only the Justice Department could find him. Unable to capture him in the 10 months since his indictment, the government has turned to a time-honored technique long used for more conventional crime: putting a bounty on Bogachev’s head. It’s too soon to say whether the $3 million reward for information leading to his arrest, offered under a special State Department program, will pay off. But federal officials say they intend to use the strategy in additional cyber cases involving international hackers whose whereabouts are either unknown to the U.S. government or who are holed up in nations that have little or no diplomatic relations with the United States. “We’ve really not done something like this” in cyber cases, Robert Anderson, an FBI executive assistant director, said in announcing the reward. “All of a sudden, somebody’s putting an ‘x’ on somebody, saying, ‘Bring him to justice, you get $3 million.’” The reward is also a reminder of how many accused masterminds of cyberattacks on U.S. targets remain out of reach for law enforcement. Five Chinese military officials were indicted last spring on charges of siphoning away corporate secrets from computer systems of major American business. Federal officials say they’re committed to bringing them to justice, but they won’t speak pub-

licly about what they’re doing to nab them. Experts are skeptical that the military officials will ever see the inside of a courtroom. Roman Z olotarev, charged in Nevada with masterminding a massive underworld marketplace of credit card fraud and identity theft, also is not in federal custody, even though lower-level members of the operation, called Carder. Su, have been convicted. The culprits behind the Sony Pictures Entertainment hacking have not been publicly identified, though the FBI has linked it to the North Korean government. Some defense lawyers for more peripheral players charged in cybercrimes have seized on the absence of accused ringleaders, highlighting a potential vulnerability in the government’s cases. The argument was raised in the 2013 trial of David Ray Camez, who was ultimately sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the Carder.su organization. “And they talk about all these people that created Carder.su, the real people, the bad guys in this case, where are they at?” Camez’s lawyer, Chris Rasmussen, told jurors. “They don’t have any of these Russians here. There’s no Russians in this courtroom. Where are they?” There’s generally limited recourse against hackers committing crimes from countries like Russia and China, where the U.S. lacks formal extradition treaties. Justice Department officials say they’re hopeful that as more countries are harmed by international cybercrime, there will be fewer sanctuaries for such criminals. And sometimes the best hope is for criminals to become careless over time and travel to countries where they’re exposed to arrest.

Records show troubled past for suspect in Ariz. shootings PHOENIX (AP) — An exconvict accused of killing one person and wounding five others in a series of shootings in a Phoenix suburb has a history of substance abuse and criminal convictions dating back more than 20 years. A day after the shootings, a picture is beginning to emerge of the troubled past of Ryan Giroux, who had sought treatment for drug use and expressed a desire to turn around his life, including getting at least two facial tattoos — one believed to be associated with white supremacy — removed. “The defendant stated he wants to change his

life around and begin to have his facial tattoos removed as well as the tattoos on his hands,” said a report filed in May by authorities before he was found to have violated his probation in a shoplifting case that turned violent. The 41-year-old made his initial court appearance Thursday as authorities tried to figure out what triggered the rampage that led to an hourslong hunt for the gunman. Investigators also released the identities of the shooting victims. The string of crimes Wednesday included a motel shooting, a carjacking and a home invasion and ended with Giroux’s arrest at a vacant apartment. The motive for the motel shooting was unclear, but the other three shootings appeared motivated by robbery and the suspect’s attempt to flee, police said. Giroux, whose bond was set at $2 million, is jailed on suspicion of murder and other crimes. Efforts

resonated with another Honors Hall resident, Savannah Lusk, who is a freshman exercise physiology student. “It just means he’s engaged. He wants to change this University and wants to make it better, and he wants to incorporate the ideas of the students,” Lusk said. “It just shows he cares about our opinions.” Several resident assistants, the Honors Hall Resident Hall Coordinator, Jeremiah Kibler, and the interim dean of the Honors College, Kenneth Blemings, also joined Gee for dinner. “It was a great opportunity for our Honors College students to understand the relationship between WVU as a land-grant school and this great state,” Blemings said. After dinner, Gee received many requests for selfies, as per usual during his outings with students.

community service opportunity and a chance to support a good cause. “It’s going to take a lot of support from the community and this is going to be a great chance for community service hours,” Summerlin said. “I want us to show our West Virginia pride and have WVU students out here supporting the marathon and being part of it.

to identify a lawyer representing Giroux who could comment on the allegations against him were not immediately successful. His criminal convictions in three states date back to 1993. He was convicted in metro Phoenix on theft, burglary and marijuana possession charges. He also was convicted for burglary, theft assault and theft in California and for robbery in Washington. In all, he served more than eight years in Arizona prisons, including an attempt aggravated assault conviction for fighting with two Mesa police officers in 2007 when they tried to arrest him for shoplifting a bag of potato chips at a convenience store. Police say Giroux tried to reach for a .45-caliber handgun in his waistband during the struggle with officers. Giroux denied reaching for his gun and claimed officers beat him. After his late 2013 release from prison, Giroux was ordered to spend two months in county jail for violating his probation. Officials said he used or possessed methamphetamine and marijuana and failed a drug test after his release. They noted that Giroux was able to get a medical marijuana card but he had sought substance abuse and mental health treatment. Court records say Giroux has used cocaine, heroin, LSD and methamphetamines off and on for the past 20 years. An undated Arizona prison mug shot shows the word “skinhead” tattooed where his eyebrows normally would be. A mug shot from his arrest Wednesday shows that at least two of Giroux’s facial tattoos — one that resembled a goatee and another bearing the numbers “88” — have been removed. It also showed a

bloodied and scraped up Giroux, who was injured while struggling with officers. Some tattoos, including the “88” that was on his left temple, are associated with white supremacy, said Mark Potok, spokesman for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups but doesn’t list Giroux in its database. Wednesday’s shootings started with an argument inside a motel room that spilled outside, leaving David James Williams, 29, dead and two women wounded, police said. The women were Williams’ mother, Lydia Marie Nielson, 51, and Jessica Lee Burgess, 19. The gunman then allegedly shot Isaac Martinez, 20, who was working at a nearby restaurant. Martinez, a culinary student at the nearby East Valley Institute of Technology, ran across the street to emergency responders at the motel. Martinez has been released from a hospital. The gunman fled the restaurant by carjacking a school instructor’s car. Police say the man then went to an apartment complex about 2 miles away, where he went into an apartment and shot Donavon Worker, 24. Worker is expected to survive. An officer then found Marcus Butler, 25, in a neighboring apartment building with multiple gunshot wounds. Police said Butler was in critical but stable condition Thursday and is expected to recover. Two witnesses told police that a man was with Giroux when Giroux fired into a motel room. One witness said the unidentified companion grabbed Giroux by the shirt “and told him they needed to leave the area,” according to a document filed by authorities.

FBI agent: Tsarnaev’s computer contained extremist materials BOSTON (AP) — Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had a variety of extremist materials on his computer, including an issue of the al-Qaida magazine Inspire with an article entitled “Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom,” an FBI agent testified Thursday. Tsarnaev, 21, faces the possibility of the death penalty in the 2013 attack, which killed three people and injured more than 260. During opening statements this month, his lawyer admitted that he participated in the bombings, but said his older brother, Tamerlan, was the mastermind who recruited a young, impressionable Dzhokhar into the plan. The defense argues that Dzhokhar does not deserve the death penalty. Prosecutors, however, have portrayed Dzhokhar, then 19, as an active and willing participant in the bombings. Tamerlan was killed in a gun battle with police after the bombing. On Thursday, Kevin Swindon, a supervisory special agent for the FBI’s cyber squad in Boston, reviewed the contents of Tsarnaev’s laptop computer, as well as a desktop computer at his family’s Cambridge apartment, thumb drives and other devices. Several devices, including Dzhokhar’s computer and a thumb drive found in

In the indictment against Tsarnaev, prosecutors allege he downloaded a copy of Inspire that included instructions on how to build bombs with pressure cookers, the kind of device used in the marathon bombing. Two pressure-cooker bombs exploded near the marathon finish line. Earlier Thursday, an FBI bomb tchnician testified that shrapnel from the explosives Tsarnaev and his brother hurled at police days after the 2013 attacks was found up to a block away. Brian Corcoran said parts of a pipe bomb and pressure-cooker bomb — including a dead man’s switch, a circuit board and a homemade remote control— were found on a residential street in Watertown after the Tsarnaevs had a violent confrontation with police. A dead man’s switch is typically used to detonate an explosive device if the operator is killed or incapacitated. A large portion of the pressure cooker was found embedded in the door of a car parked in a driveway of the street. Photos shown to the jury showed the pressure cooker apparently burst through the door and became wedged in a large hole.

U.Va. student arrest raises Man sentenced in online threat questions about powers of agency case tied to larger debate

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — An arrest that left a University of Virginia student bloodied and shouting allegations of racism has prompted some lawmakers to question whether state liquor control agents should have the power to arrest people. Gov. Terry McAuliffe ordered the Virginia State Police to investigate the early Wednesday arrest of Martese Johnson, who needed 10 stitches to close a gash on his head after his altercation with Alcoholic Beverage Control agents outside a Charlottesville bar. State police said that “administrative review” will be conducted along with a criminal investigation requested by the Charlottesville prosecutor. “We owe it to both Mr. Johnson and the Virginia ABC to be painstakingly thorough in determining the facts of the situation through interviews, evidence collection and analysis, and investigative procedure,” Virginia State Police Superintendent Col. W. Steven Flaherty said in a written statement. However, some legislators have already seen enough from alcohol board’s law enforcement arm to suggest it cannot handle having the same arrest powers as police. The 20-year-old Johnson’s arrest — captured in photos and videos and widely spread on social media — came nearly two years after ABC agents traumatized another U.Va. student by swarming her car after mistaking a carton of sparkling water for beer. The student, Elizabeth Daly, was 20 at the time. “Given what happened yesterday and what happened a couple of years ago, it raises some serious questions in my mind whether they should have arrest powers,” state Sen. Donald McEachin of Henrico County said in a telephone interview Thursday. After the Daly incident, Rockbridge County Republican Del. Ben Cline introduced legislation in the 2014 session to give state police enforcement of the state’s alcohol laws. The agency was established in 1934 to operate all of the state’s liquor stores, oversee licensure of bars and enforce alcohol laws. Cline said the ABC is inherently a regulatory body and that state police are better suited for enforcing liquor laws. “It would provide more consistency — just a better application of the law to have it enforced by a single entity like the state police,” Cline said. He said he may pursue the legislation again if he’s re-elected. McEachin said

he, too, might consider sponsoring such legislation, but he wants to see what the state police investigations produce first. That could be a problem. State police also investigated the Daly incident, but the attorney general’s office successfully fought a motion to release the investigative report as part of a federal lawsuit filed by Daly that the state paid $212,500 to settle. The ABC Department — the target of the state police investigation — released a summary of the findings. But officials said the report was exempt from disclosure under the state Freedom of Information Act because it included personnel information. McAuliffe spokesman Brian Coy, noting the personnel exemption, said “we will make public whatever we can. We recognize the expectation to communicate with people what happened here.” Michael Kelly, spokesman for Attorney General Mark Herring, was noncommittal on the issue of disclosure. “As the lawyers for the state, we may be asked for legal advice on this issue, so we’re limited in what we can say at this point,” he said. U.Va. graduate student Steven Lewis of Atlanta said he wasn’t sure about the benefit of one police agency investigating another. “I really would like to believe it would be a thorough and impartial investigation, but recent events make me skeptical,” Lewis said. The recent killings of

two unarmed black men by white police officers in Missouri and New York have heightened racial tensions and sparked national debate about law enforcement and race. Both the state police and ABC’s law enforcement arm report to Secretary of Public Safety Brian Moran. A photo of the arrest showed Johnson on the pavement, his face bloodied, being held down by an unidentified officer. In a dark and hard-to-see video, Johnson — who is black — can be heard repeatedly calling the white officers (expletive) racists. “I don’t know that that charge is well-founded,” said McEachin, who is black. “It doesn’t matter because people are being hurt. Whether it’s based on race or being Rambo cops, it needs to be stopped.” About 1,000 students attended a rally for Johnson at U.Va. Wednesday night. Johnson was charged on two counts: obstruction of justice without force, and public swearing or intoxication, Charlottesville General District Court records show. ABC spokeswoman Valerie Hubbard declined to comment Thursday on calls to revoke arrest powers the department has had since its inception. The department has about 130 sworn officers across the state who received the same training as other police officers. Hubbard said three agents involved in the arrest have been put on administrative duty while state police investigate.

SEATTLE (AP) — A Washington man who posted Facebook comments threatening a former Ferguson, Missouri, police officer will avoid prison but has been ordered to stay off social media sites in a case that is part of a broader legal debate about when social media rants go beyond hyperbole and become a crime. Before U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik handed down Jaleel Abdul-Jabbaar’s sentence Thursday, he said it was one of the hardest he has had to decide. He noted that in a separate case — the recent killings of two New York police officers — the gunman posted Facebook threats before shooting the officers. But Lasnik accepted the defense argument that Abdul-Jabbaar’s comments were simply a strong reaction to the unfolding events in Ferguson, and he had no intention of following through on his threat to shoot Darren Wilson. Abdul-Jabbaar told the judge he made a mistake, “and it won’t be repeated.” The judge agreed that the two months Abdul-Jabbaar already spent behind bars was enough and ordered three years of supervised release. In arguing for government monitoring of AbdulJabbaar’s computer, Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Greenberg said: “It’s OK to be frustrated, it’s OK to be angry about current events, and it’s OK to express that frustration. But our society cannot tolerate the type of

Lindsay Souvannarath heads from provincial court in Halifax, Canada on Friday. Souvannarath and Randall Steven Shepherd are charged with conspiracy to commit murder, allegedly plotting a Valentine’s Day mass shooting at the Halifax Shopping Centre. violent threats the defendant made.” Abdul-Jabbaar pleaded guilty Feb. 2 for posting a threat against Wilson on Facebook that included a call to “give back those bullets that Police Officer Darren Wilson fired into the body of Mike Brown.” Federal prosecutors said Abdul-Jabbaar posted inflammatory messages for months after the Aug. 9 killing of Brown sparked protests nationwide. Assistant Federal Public Defender Kyana Givens said each note was in response to the news of the day out of Ferguson. The popularity of social media sites like Facebook and its users’ willingness to speak their minds have landed people in jail and left lawyers arguing over what constitutes a “true threat” — one not protected by the First Amendment — and what is simply an exercise of free speech. “It’s definitely an area of

law that is in a state of flux,” Judge Lasnik said. The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in December on another Facebook threat case that legal experts say could answer some of those questions. When Anthony Elonis’ wife left him, he vented on his Facebook page by posting violent threats against her in the form of rap lyrics. The justices are considering whether an “objective” standard should be used in these cases, meaning an average person would believe the writer intended to harm someone, or whether the threat was “subjective,” meaning he was just venting and didn’t intend to hurt anyone. “Facebook ‘threats’ may be different because the person is not ‘sending them’ to the intended target; indeed, the target may find out from someone else,” said Loyola Law School Professor Marcy Strauss.

Stopping higher ed budget cuts

wvdar.org

On Thursday, West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin announced 41 counties throughout the state will be splitting $700,000 in grants in an effort to preserve historical sites and enhance public records. This comes on the tail of the legislature approving the state budget on Wednesday. In the original proposed budget, Tomblin proposed a $12 million cut to higher education. Luckily, the legislature’s budget returned $7.3 million of said cut. And now—after passing through the House and the Senate—the budget returns to Tomblin’s desk with lineitem veto power. While investing in the preservation in the history of our great state is important, little good will come from investing in the past, but not the future. It is this Editorial Board’s sincere hope the governor does not attempt to make any further cuts to education.

If you are an in-state student who receives the West Virginia PROMISE scholarship, you may have had your out-of-state friends tell you how lucky you are or how little their home state does to help its youth with higher education. Upon hearing this, you may feel lucky or as though West Virginia is investing in you. And they are. However, further budget cuts jeopardize not only the University we love, but the state as a whole. If the focus of the state is to increase jobs and retain young residents, why does it insist on constantly cutting back on the education they need to be working professionals? On Wednesday, The Daily Athenaeum published a letter sent to us by Student Body President Chris Nyden on behalf of himself and several other student leaders from universities around the state. The letter urged the governor and the state to stop the

budget cutting. In his statement in the letter, Nyden expresses his disappointment in the cuts made. “We have been told for several years that higher education will be cut, but the budget situation looks brighter in future years. The actual results have been overly optimistic predictions and increased budget cuts,” Nyden wrote in the letter. “If this is not a rainy day for the state, I don’t know what is.” This is a view held by most as the cost of a fouryear degree continues to rise, while more and more students are forced to either drop out or stretch themselves thin by taking on one or more jobs. Stop higher education budget cuts, stop jeopardizing the future of the state and stop hindering the next generation of Mountaineers. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Upcoming movie sequels could make or break franchises

moviefone.com

abby humphreys columnist @obiwan_baloni

It seems sequels will be the biggest thrill the cinema has to offer this year. Movies like “ Ted,” “Magic Mike,” “Hotel Transylvania,” “Ghostbusters,” “The Hunger Games” and even “Star Wars” have been given either sequels or reboots for the silver screen, and this doesn’t even include the vast number of Marvel sequels planned for the next half-decade. The next installment of series like “Captain America,” “Thor,” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “The Avengers” are already at the forefront of everyone’s

minds, but is the hype really warranted? In the past, sequels were considered to be the death of movie franchises. They generally had smaller budgets and different directors than the originals, so the feel of a story was often lost during production. Some sequels even had storylines created simply from a few “What If ” questions that were never meant to be explicitly answered in the original film (for example, “What if Rocky Balboa started a family?”) Sequels like “Caddyshack 2,” “Jaws 2” and “The Hangover Part 3” either continue a complete story past its prime or poorly execute what little new information it intro-

duces to an audience, so it’s entirely understandable why veteran viewers may be cringing in their seats at this list of upcoming features. I think watching sequels is like beating a dead horse. Whatever joy a movie leaves me with as I exit the theater is immediately ruined by the release of a bad follow-up film. Today’s writers and directors are grasping at straws in their attempts to create new ways of reeling in future audiences, and their efforts to make even more money off worn-out franchises have rarely succeeded in the past. That being said, some sequels do their jobs incredibly well. The original

three “Star Wars” movies, for example, were written from start to finish as a continuous story that simply needed three fulllength movies to tell. Each “episode” delivered an integral segment of the plot while also furthering characterization and expanding the universe in which it took place. One could say the three movies depicted both a single story and three individual tales simultaneously, which created the perfect balance with audiences. People could enjoy the films either on their own or all together, which I believe is what sequels should fundamentally seek to accomplish. Unfortunately, I would say the ma-

jority have been unable to achieve this balance. However, I believe the upcoming Marvel movies are the perfect embodiment of wholesome, enjoyable films. While titles like “Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier” may seem like just another needless continuation of a popular comic book character, the plots and characters themselves will all come together in later titles like “Avengers 3: Age of Ultron.” Much like what Marvel and DC’s respective universes have accomplished, the film industry is beginning to create movies that utilize storytelling techniques similar to television series and comic book issues. No longer are films

and their sequels merely two-hour investments with definite beginnings and ends, but are instead becoming vessels for references to characters and plots from other films. This makes for an enormously entertaining and complex single story audiences are sure to cherish for decades. If the film industry embraces these new techniques in upcoming films, moviegoers have nothing to worry about. But when cheap production decisions and poor moneymaking tactics get ahold of a much-loved franchise, viewers should know well enough to keep their distance. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The beginner’s guide to cooking for yourself in, beyond college timothy hayes ohio state

If you’re not familiar with the YouTube community, that was Rhett and Link from the ever popular Good Mythical Morning show and their channels RhettandLink and RhettandLink2. While this duo is noted mostly for their comedy, they do have some particularly good points. My favorite being “You’re gonna eat a lot of Hot Pockets and you’re thinking that sounds great. Well get back to us in six months when you’ve had three hundred and seventy-eight.” How unfortunately true that is. Whether you’re sadly nodding your head or vehemently denying it (while reaching for your eighth), it’s no secret that

DA

college students aren’t eating well. I received lots of jokes about Ramen and coffee, but alarmingly, more offers of “real” dinner anytime. While flattered, this fiercely independent guy is not going out of his way to freeload. Cooking is considered by some to be an art, but for college students, it’s just another necessary task in a long line that we are expected to master at some point somehow. Unfortunately, many students don’t get many tips or tricks from anyone on cooking beforehand. Fortunately, I had lots or preparation by my mother to get me set long before college was even started. So let me share a few things I’ve picked up over years of cooking. The first thing anyone who’s starting to cook should do is prep. Work-

ing at a restaurant and coming from a big family, I’ve learned that an hour of prep can save you two hours in cooking. When you want to cook a dish, get a plan ready. Who are you cooking for? How many people? Are there any dietary restrictions? What do you want to cook? From this, you can quickly knock out ideas. From there, you need a recipe. If you’ve got it memorized from watching a family member, great, but if you haven’t you’re going to need one. Cookbooks are great. Websites are better. Places like Cooks.com, Allrecipes.com, and foodnetwork.com are excellent sources for great nutritional recipes from many ethnic origins. I prefer to find things from my mom, and before I left for school, I went and found recipes I loved in her

recipes box and cookbook and wrote those down. You can do this the next time you’re home, or just ask for an email of your favorites. Remember, KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid. Now, having your recipe, make sure you’ve got what you need in the house before you start. I can tell you too many stories of running out to go get one more ingredient to finish the dish. It helps to lay everything out on a counter or table before you start to make sure you’ve got what you need. Read your recipe to make sure you know what to do when and how. From there, prep your cooking equipment and get it all set before you need it. If you need a pan, set it out. Measuring cup? Find it first. There is nothing more infuriating than needing a tablespoon measure and not having it

while the cream burns. As a pro tip, get your kitchen organized according to how you need things. For instance, I put all my spices in the cabinet closest to the stove so I can reach up and add them to my dish. The more you use the kitchen the more you will find a way to organize it for you. Next you’re going to want to cut everything. Get all your vegetables cut and set them aside. If it will take a while, put them in a bowl in the fridge while you wait. For potatoes, store in water while you wait or they will turn black. Peppers and carrots should be just cut and set aside. One exception is spinach. Spinach shouldn’t be cut or ripped until you’re going to use it. Cut your meat the way you want, but I’d recommend pan cooking fish and beef, roasting beef,

pork and chicken, and boiling chicken. If you want to grill, you’d better have a good grasp of pan cooking first. A pro tip for cutting vegetables is to cut them up when you get them and put them in Ziploc bags in the freezer. Remember that you need to keep a balanced diet. The FDA’s updated food pyramid is an excellent guide to your portions and balance in your diet. Don’t fall into the trap of keeping everything the same. One last pro tip I learned from boy scouts was to precook your food partially on a weekend for you to finish later in the week. The freezer’s your friend. Overall, most recipes can be self-explanatory. Just read them first, follow them, and if you have a question, seek out someone (like your mom) who would be able to answer it.

The ultimate playlist for your spring break Skrillex and Diplo have teamed up to create a spectacular spin-table duo. Jack U has actually made Justin Bieber cool again, which is why we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add this killer EDM jam to the list. This song mixes slow ballads with stellar bass drops and is sure to be stuck in your head all week.

CHELSEA WALKER A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Spring break is here. While you’re busy packing the last of your shades, sandals and sunscreen, here is the ultimate jam guide for that long flight or those endless hours in the sun. Also known as the spring break anthem, this song could not be more fitting for the ultimate sun and sand playlist. With a catchy chorus and tropical-inspired vibes, Modsun’s “Goddess” is taken to another level with rapper G-Eazy’s quick lines. This song is the perfect mix of island essence and hip-hop.

As if we could love Sam Smith any more. This ultimate EDM remix is perfect for spring break. Taking Sam Smith’s catchy “La La La” tune, seen here, this remix is perfect for prepping for a night out: https:// soundcloud.com/ naughtyboymusic/ naughty-boy-la-lala-kaos/. If you want to hear more of these remixes, Soundcloud is the perfect start for setting up your personal spring break pump-up playlist.

You couldn’t have the ultimate sunshine playlist without a Kid Rock song. Taken from his new album, “First Kiss,” Kid Rock’s killer country tune tells a story involving pretty girls, cheap wine and sunshine. Basically, “Good Times, Cheap Wine” is an ode to college-aged springbreakers everywhere.

You can find this playlist at https://open. spotify.com/ user/12133 296165/playli st/08i6dQGa SSXof6tZj1W WZL/.

Two more songs to check out on Soundcloud are “I Don’t Wanna End The Night” by Prelow and “Drive” by Travi$ Scott (The 1975 Remix).

Taken off its new album “2.0,” Big Data’s “The Business of Emotion” is perfect for road-tripping. This sing-along tune will have you nodding your head nonstop. With groovy DJ beats, Big Data whipped up “The Business of Emotion” just in time for spring break.

It is only appropriate to end the playlist with a throwback. This Eric Prydz jam is the ultimate tune for hanging out poolside. “Call on Me” gives just the right amount of head bumping beats. With upbeat, funky EDM riffs, Prydz will have you jiving from sunrise to sunset.

Audio Gumbo a treat for audience Kendall snee A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Gumbo is defined as a stew or thick soup made with varying ingredients such as chicken, seafood, greens, okra, file or mixtures of all of the above, depending entirely on the chef’s choice. This week, 123 Pleasant Street cooked up something new, exciting and rather unheard of since Aerosmith and Run DMC teamed up to unleash their revamped version of “Walk This Way.” Audio Gumbo, or rather a smorgasbord of tasty tidbits of diverse music genres, all came together under one Morgantown roof. Although the complexity of differed sounds were predicted to clash, this reporter crosses her fingers that showcases like these become a generational movement. Although 123’s alleged gumbo was not technically edible, it left patrons feeling satisfied. As if the whole shebang was a circus, its ring leader was none other than local celebrity DJ Dolla. Dolla spun the trap house bangerz of today and threw it back to a little Bell Biv DeVoe’s “Poison.” First up were All Else Fails, who although still have a lot to learn, were confident and crowdpleasing with showmanship matched only by the lead singer’s Fender Stratocaster. With its alien-spaceship-landing-type intros played via keyboard that turned into angsty teen screech pulp, All Else Fails kept the crowd entertained with its relatable pop punk chords. Next up was Quie, which although I’m still not entirely sure how to pronounce, was all things amazing. It was a hip-hop jazz-fusion quartet made up of a rapper who spouted his verses on top of a mini keg, a DJ who cut a genius chorus from Oasis’s “Wonderwall,” a keyboardist who made it quite clear that if Ray Charles, Mozart and Thelonious Monk had a baby, it would’ve been this guy and a bassist who slapped like no other. These guys were pure talent and are definitely going places. When the third band came out it was only two of them; a single guitar player and a drummer. Someone in the crowd screamed “Look, it’s the Black Keys.” But he was quickly proved wrong. F--- Your Birthday proved to be nothing like anyone before them. It was a little Jack White, The Strokes and The Violent Femmes but all of those mutated wouldn’t even have quite cut it. Ingenious riff-switching along with rhythm patterns only comparable to those indie stomp musical things, F--- Your Birthday

got everyone’s attention. Chris Allen was next, an obvious favorite. Everyone was standing, hands swaying, repeating lyrics back to the prophet speaking a language we all seemed to understand. He collaborated with Woody Pond and various singers who brought untapped beauty back to the undertone of rap music. It was relatable, enjoyable and made you feel good. Allen made ending remarks about his newcomer status to the game, and that already he can see that his fanbase is and has been growing since he first started mere months ago. Woody Pond went after the white rapper stereotype - controversial ingredient in the gumbo, might I add, but it definitely paid off. This kid is fearless, fearsome and a force to be reckoned with. With an off-key voice and an overall off-key way of doing things, Pond came to impress with quips that both astonished and impressed. Tyler Grady took the audience back to the ways of classic rock with head-splitting riffs and an overall nonchalance of the music our country was built on. With the crowd hanging on every note, it seemed like eyes open or shut, the music would please. The most gratifying thing about Audio Gumbo was watching the rappers bob their heads to an alternative song or the hippies with their hands waving during the bridge of someone’s verse. With all of these varied artists passing demos off to each other, it really was camaraderie at its finest. Now if only the rest of the world could do that. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Bynes is back on Twitter, ‘Fashion Police’ goes kaput, Miley & more Chelsea Walker a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

As the bagpipes have faded into the background, St. Patrick left as fast as he came. I’m sure you’re still sucking down multiple ice-cold glasses of water in an attempt to phase out the copious amounts of green beer you inhaled Tuesday. This week, we didn’t forget about ‘Ye, but 44,000 Glastonbury-goers wish we could. Miley Cyrus released a trailer for her upcoming Bangerz Tour DVD, Amanda Bynes went artsy on Twitter and “Fashion Police” was halted. So, before you jet off to some sunny island or some savage bar in Panama City Beach, catch up on this week’s pop culture mayhem.

4. “Fashion Police” goes on hiatus. Thanks, Giuliana. After the tragic death of host Joan Rivers, “Fashion Police” just doesn’t seem the same. Following anchor Giuliana Rancic’s controversial comments about pop artist Zendaya’s locs on the red carpet, fellow anchor Kelly Osbourne and newcomer Kathy Griffin both left the show. Griffin, who took the spot of late host Rivers, left after only filming seven episodes. For now, E! has announced the show will take a break before its return in September.

5. British fans petition to NOT have Kanye West at Glastonbury. Oh, no ‘Ye didn’t. Monday, after learning Kanye West would be set to headline at England’s popular Glastonbury Festival, a petition was created in honor of not having Kanye on the pyramid stage. Petition creator and British fan Lonsdale demanded ‘Ye be kicked to the curb to make room for a rock band. The petition also said, “Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world. We spend hundreds of pounds to attend Glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment. Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music … He should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot to someone deserving. Let’s prevent this musical injustice now.” This guy must not know ‘Ye as well as us. His level of entertainment is what keeps this weekly column going.

3. Miley Cyrus drops trailer for “Bangerz” tour DVD. Miley Cyrus released an exclusive trailer for her “Bangerz” tour DVD that will be available March 23. The trailer features clips of the pop priestess dancing with dwarfs, twerking in a costume set of hillbilly teeth and sliding down a giant tongue on stage. Wow, just when we were getting over the foam finger incident.

2. Amanda Bynes returns to Twitter without saying anything absurd. “Amanda, please.” Our childhood icon-turned-nutjob Amanda Bynes recently returned to Twitter to give followers a glance of her newest hobby: Art. Hollywood’s favorite hot mess posted a picture on Twitter Tuesday of what appears to be a self-portrait. The drawing features a Bynes look alike staring into the distance with sad eyes. Most likely it’s Bynes plotting her next ludicrous scene.

1. WVU sets off for spring break. Spring is in the air, and so is the stench of stale beer mixed with salty winds. As WVU prepares to head off for spring break, we are reminded of how nice it feels to wear shorts and a T-shirt without frostbite. So, whether you’re fist-pumping in PCB to Diplo, at home re-watching the third season of House of Cards or off in some other peculiar location, have fun and remember: Don’t do anything ‘Ye wouldn’t do.

Shortstop Taylor Munden puts on the brakes after rounding second base during a game last year.

West Virginia travels to Waco to take on Baylor by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

On the heels of another offensive explosion, a 14-9 win over Akron at CONSOL Energy Park in Washington, Pa., the West Virginia baseball team is setting out on the road for another conference series: A three-game set against the Baylor Bears in Waco, Texas. With the win over Akron, this young Mountaineer squad improved its overall record to 9-8, which head

coach Randy Mazey said is a good sign of things to come. “It’s been a pleasant surprise,” Mazey said in a press release. “You never have any idea what to think when you have such inexperienced pitching, but we’ve really had guys step up and give us a chance to win a lot of games. We’re well ahead of where I thought we would be at this point.” West Virginia’s pitching has served it well this season, especially in the first conference series against Texas last weekend, but

as the weather has begun to warm up, so have the Mountaineers’ bats. “That’s life as a Northern team,” Mazey said. “It takes you 10 or 15 games to figure out the lineup and get in the groove offensively, but right now we’re swinging the bats as well as we have all year.” That showed in a major way in the win over Akron. As a team, West Virginia recorded 20 hits and jumped on the Zips from the beginning. Shortstop Taylor Munden led the game off with a home run that sparked a

four-run bottom of the first and set the offense off and running. Munden has been a major sparkplug at the top of West Virginia’s offense this season. After hitting .261 in 52 games in 2014, Munden is off to a white hot start in 2015. Through 17 games, he is hitting .405, has five doubles, nine RBIs, collected 31 total bases and has already surpassed his home run total from last season with three. Heading into this series, Baylor’s offense has been in

a major slump, as has the team as a whole. The Bears have lost 12 of their last 13, and haven’t scored more than four runs since the calendar turned to March. While the top of West Virginia’s lineup has been producing at a high level — Justin Fox and Kyle Davis are each hitting .333 — there is a significant drop off after that. As Mazey alluded to, there is plenty of lineup shuffling and tinkering that goes on in the first few weeks of the season, and

one of the recent beneficiaries of those changes has been catcher Ray Guerrini. He is only hitting .107 on the season, but broke out for two hits and five RBIs against Akron. “We made a hitting adjustment with him in the last week to 10 days,” Mazey said. “He wasn’t swinging it too well before that, but since we made that adjustment he’s been standing in there really well and that’s encouraging.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 5 West Virginia faces No. 12 Buffalo first by david schlake sports editor @dschlake_WVU

No. 5 West Virginia will travel to Columbus, Ohio, today to face No. 12 Buffalo in the Mountaineers’ first appearance of the 2015 NCAA Tournament. West Virginia had a strong season, finishing with a 23-9 overall record and an 11-7 record in the Big 12. Senior guard Juwan Staten led the team in scoring, averaging 14.5 points per game, while sophomore Devin Williams led the team in rebounding, raking in 8.2 boards a game. They face what is being hyped as the most likely 5-12 upset in the tournament, as the Bulls have had their fair share of success

this season, as well. A member of the MAC Conference, Buffalo also finished with a 23-9 overall record and finished 12-6 in conference play. Junior forward Justin Moss led the team in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 17.7 points per game and 9.3 rebounds. While the Bulls don’t play in the most challenging conference, they faced two tough teams in nonconference play, matching up against 1-seeds Wisconsin and Kentucky. They had a lead over each top-tier team at halftime, but would lose after a poor second-half performance in each outing. “Moss is very effective in the post,” West Virginia head coach Bob Hug-

gins told WVUsports.com. “They really rebound the ball.” Despite the seed difference, Huggins isn’t looking past the Bulls. “I think you approach it as a two-game tournament,” he said. “Obviously you (have to) win the first one to be able to play in the second one.” Spectators can expect to see the Mountaineers’ fullcourt press today, but West Virginia is well aware of the Bulls’ ability to score in transition and plans to adjust accordingly. “We do a lot of pressing and trapping, and we ultimately want to turn teams over,” Staten said during a press conference. “But if they get out in transition and they’re heading down-

hill pretty much every possession, we got to get back out of our press and play good half-court defense.” “We want them to play fast, but at the same time we want to be able to control the game,” said senior guard Gary Browne. Staten and Browne missed the Mountaineers’ last four games due to injuries, but are expected to play their normal roles in Huggins’ strategy going into Columbus. “I’ve practiced for the last three days with no limitations and no restrictions, so I’m feeling good,” Staten said. No. 5 West Virginia will face No. 12 Buffalo in Columbus at 2:10 p.m. today.

Ikttesh Chahal bumps one over during a match earlier this season.

by ben carter correspondent @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s tennis team continues Big 12 Conference play this weekend, as it goes up against Kansas State today in Manhattan, before traveling to Lawrence on Sunday to face off against Kansas. “I think the Big 12 is a tough league, and we have to come ready to battle every week. Iowa State was a battle last week, and nothing is going to change this weekend,” said second-year coach Miha Lisac. “We play Kansas State on Friday (today) and Kansas on Sunday, and both teams have been playing really well so far. The competition is only going to increase from here.” Focusing on today’s afternoon match first, Kansas State (6-9, 0-2 Big 12) is coming off three consecutive losses to TCU, Texas Tech and Iowa by a combined score of 12-1. However, don’t let the record fool you: The Wildcats still have players who are more than capable of turning it around. In the No. 2 slot, sophomore Palma Juhasz, who is on a tear as she won her last six singles matches, anchors K-State. Additionally, when Juhasz is paired up with Sara Castellano, the duo is ranked ninth in the ITA Central doubles rankings. However, the Mountain-

eers (9-4, 0-1 Big 12) counter with a few unbeaten of their own. Freshman Habiba Shaker is a perfect 12-0 in doubles action this season when she teams up with junior Hailey Barrett, freshman Yvon Martinez and freshman Carolina Lewis. In singles play, the Mountaineers are led by a one-two punch of sophomore Kaja Mrgole in the No. 1 slot, who has nine wins; and Lewis, who is a perfect 10-0 this season. Kansas State has had West Virginia’s number in the past, however, boasting a 4-0 all-time record head-tohead. Following the match in Manhattan, the Mountaineers travel to Lawrence, Kan., to take on the Jayhawks (4-8, 0-2 Big 12) Sunday. Like the Wildcats, Kansas is winless in the Big 12 this season and is coming off a 4-1 loss to TCU. Kansas is led at the No. 1 spot by Senior Maria Belen Luduena, who is ranked eighth in the ITA Central rankings. On top of that, when Luduena is paired up with Maria Jose Cardona, the duo is an impressive 9-4. “Kansas State and Kansas are improving more and more as the year goes on,” Lisac said. “I know that both teams are talented programs, and they will have players that are ready to battle.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Head coach Dana Holgorsen calls a play during a game last season.

by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

In the world of college football, coaching staff changes are inevitable. Despite the loss of assistants Shannon Dawson and Tom Bradley this off-season, fifth-year West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen was able to lure a former Mountaineer assistant back to Morgantown and promote a young, up-and-coming coach. Bruce Tall coached safeties at West Virginia from 2003-2007 and returns as the Mountaineers’ defensive line coach this season. After a three-year stint as the defensive line coach at Michigan under Rich Rodriguez, Tall spent the past four seasons as defensive coordinator at Charlotte. “He’s a guy who Coach (Tony) Gibson really trusts,� Holgorsen said of Tall during his spring practice presser earlier this month. “He’s been the D-line coach for seven weeks now, and

we already see improvement on how those guys are doing.� Gibs on pre viously coached with Tall at West Virginia before joining him at Michigan prior to the 2008 season. “I (have) been with him for eight years, and he does a tremendous job with the defensive line,� Gibson said. “He understands the system. It’s not to the point where I have to teach him the defense.� As the Mountaineers opened up spring practice Sunday, Holgorsen still had one coaching position left to fill. Prior to Bradley’s departure in February, Holgorsen said he planned to give the veteran coach a larger role with the special teams, a unit that’s performance was abysmal at times last year. When asked if the position had been filled, Holgorsen said, “Yes. Mark Scott was a graduate assistant for the last three years. He is Gibby’s (defensive coordinator Tony Gibson) eyes in

the sky.� Holgorsen noted that Scott’s time as a graduate assistant expired prior to this season, prompting the move to keep him on the staff. “We’re going to put him on the field. He will help defense and special teams, as well. He’s a good, young coach,� Holgorsen said. Holgorsen mentioned Scott during his spring practice presser as “a guy who (has) been here, and you need to remember this name because he’s a bright young coach and an up-andcomer in this profession.� “Gibson trusts him,� Holgorsen said. “He’s coached every position on this team.� The Mountaineers wrap up their first week of spring practice this week before break and are scheduled to return to action the following week. The annual Gold-Blue Spring Game is scheduled for 1 p.m., Saturday, April 25, inside Milan Puskar Stadium.
