SGA candidates face off in annual debate BY Laura Haight Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The Student Government Association’s “Great Debate” was held Monday between the Launch Party and the Trusted Ticket in the Mountainlair Commons. Twenty-nine Board of Governors candidates, including independent candidate Drew Nexsen and three Athletic Council candidates, participated in the debate. Dr. Lisa DiBartolomeo, Chair of the Faculty Senate, moderated the debate, while students gathered around the edges of the area to cheer on their favorite candidates. Each candidate was given 60 seconds for opening introductions and then, in 30 seconds, answered a question specific to their platform. The debate began with Athletic Councilor candidate Ashley Morgan from the Trusted Ticket, who is push-

ing to increase Student Recreation Center Awareness. Brady Smith, a write-in candidate for athletic council with the Launch Party, was also given the opportunity to partake in the debate. He focused on making club sports more affordable. Hot topics of the debate for the Board of Governors included improving career services, student health, retention rates and college affordability. Julie Merow, a candidate for the Trusted Ticket with the platform of diversifying dining services, touched on her personal experiences of having a dietary allergy and not having many options in the dining halls. “More can be done (for these students),” she said. The second half of the debate consisted of a face-off between the presidential and vice presidential candidates of each party. The Launch Party vice presidential candidate, Kartik Motwani, revealed the party’s strategic plan on a large poster board that closely follows the University’s

2020 plan. Farah Famouri, presidential candidate of the Launch Party, was not afraid to answer questions with sass. “We’re not politicians. We’re students, and every member of our ticket is a real person,” she said. Famouri also said she would work on all issues on campus, not just safety. Chris Nyden, presidential candidate for the Trusted Ticket, put a large amount of emphasis on past experience and knowledge of how to get things done. “We brought results to SGA. I can promise you Jake (Evans) and I will continue to bring results, as we have done already,” Nyden said. Election polls open today at 9 a.m. at the Mountainlair, the Law School and the Mineral Resources building. Voting will continue through Thursday. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

SGA ELECTIONS MARCH 4, 5, 6 Event brings back former WVU WVU BOG names Gee WVU President, rescinds previous search players, encourages local youth committee motion

The WVU Board of Governors unanimously voted to make Gordon Gee the permanent president of the University Monday. The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission is expected to have an emergency meeting to approve the selection. The BOG has rescinded the previous motion, which stated the interim president could not be a candidate for the full-time position. BOG chair James Dailey said he believes Gee is a perfect match for WVU and has a plan to continue the University’s momentum. “It is clear Gordon Gee has not been a placeholder president by any means. He has been an extraordinary high-energy leader who is getting things done, moving us forward and clearly has the support of

our Board, senior University leaders, faculty and staff, students, elected officials, higher education peers and opinion leaders,” he said. “Countless people have urged us from Day One to keep him.” Ryan Campione, WVU Student Government Association president, serves on the BOG as a student member. Campione said he is thrilled with the decision and believes Gee is a perfect fit for WVU. “In a short amount of time, President Gee has warmly embraced the student body, engaging with us in all different facets of student life,” he said. “Students greatly appreciate his caring involvement and are overwhelmingly thrilled to see him continue as president and as our friend.” Gee previously served as president of WVU from 1981-85. He returned to campus in January 2014 on an interim basis, after James P. Clements

departed for Clemson University. Gee said he has appreciated West Virginia’s hospitality and is excited to serve on a long-term basis. “When I had the opportunity to return to West Virginia and this University earlier this year, I did not hesitate. And I have found it to be the same wonderful and welcoming place I remembered,” he said. “With great joy, I also found that our University had grown, matured and was competing on the national academic stage with some of the very best landgrant research universities in the country. “I am honored, energized and humbled to serve West Virginia University as the 24th president.” For Gee’s complete bio, visit http://presidentgee. wvu.edu/bio.

Former Mountaineer football greats joined together in Morgantown Saturday for the inaugural Once a Mountaineer, Always a Mountaineer campaign. The campaign, designed by West Virginia University Public Relations Society of America and the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties, was initiated as a way to bring former WVU football players back to Morgantown to inspire healthy lifestyle choices among children in the Mountain State. Saturday’s events kicked off with a Day of Play at the Student Recreation Center that allowed more than 150 area children the opportunity to participate in drill style activities with current and former WVU football players.

Nearly 1,000 WVU Hospital employees could strike BY Jacob Bojesson Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

A possible strike by nearly 1,000 employees at the West Virginia University Hospitals may be on the horizon after negotiations between the hospitals and Laborers’ Local 814 Union broke down Monday. The two parties have been negotiating regarding a new contract for months and left

last week’s meetings on a positive note. John Grossklaus, who represents the labor union in the discussions, said he was hopeful the parties would be able to solidify some details Monday, but after hours of negotiations, a new contract seemed far away. “This is the most bizarre contract negotiation I’ve ever been in in my life,” Grossklaus said. “I’ve never dealt with a company that

would put up its B-players to be negotiators, and they’re yet to make a decision at the table. We’ve made all kinds of decisions.” The labor union extended its notice of strike several times, but according to Grossklaus, the current March 17 deadline is final. If a deal is not struck by then, the union, which represents more than 900 workers at the hospital, will go on strike effective March 18.

“If we don’t come to an agreement, we’re not giving them another extension, because they lied to us on the last one,” Grossklaus said. “They were supposed to agree on three things with us in order to get that extension. They only agreed on two of them.” At the moment, the two parties are in disagreements on pay upgrades, medical leave of absence and disability resets, among other things.

During Monday’s meeting, seniority and discipline were brought to the table. “I think the hospital thinks they’re done with them not being willing to negotiate seniority and discipline, which has nothing to do with money,” Grossklaus said. “Our priority is to give them our proposals on it and see what happens.” Representatives from the hospital did not want to comment on the progress of

the contract after the meeting Monday, but said they still believe an agreement will be reached. “We remain hopeful and very optimistic,” said Amy Johns, director of Public Affairs Planning, Marketing & Communications for WVU Healthcare & Health Sciences. Negotiations will continue later this week. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Career Services to host two-day career fair on campus by evelyn merithew staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s Career Services Center is hosting its second twoday Career Fair the week after spring break for students to meet with and learn more about multiple businesses. WVU students of all levels and majors are invited to take advantage of this job and internship search opportunity March 19-20 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. There will be approximately 75 companies March 19 and approximately 60 companies March 20. “There will be different employers each day, so students should attend both

days. Last fall, we had 1,200 students on the first day (of the fair) and 1,100 on the second,” said Sarah Glenn, assistant director of employer relations. “We are hoping for a significant increase this spring, as more and more students realize that there will be different employers each day.” Among the company representatives coming are PepsiCo., the FBI, GEICO, Target, Altria, Mylan, Goodyear, AT&T and the U.S. State Department. Glenn recommends students wear business-professional attire and bring several copies of their resume. “Students should prepare their elevator pitch, a 30-60 (second) recap of their professional goals

and successes, as well as research registered employers in advance,” Glenn said. Students can find a complete list of the employers on MountaineerTRAK or by downloading the WVUJOBFAIRS mobile app, which was launched in fall 2013. “Last fall, Career Services hired our first marketing intern, and this spring, we added a social media intern. We learned how important it is to provide quick and accessible information to students,” Glenn said. “(Students) aren’t going to read 10 pages on how to work a career fair, but they are interested in watching quick video clips.” Students can download this app for free. Glenn said most students will be

out of town for break during the week before the Career Fair, so Career Services is going to use Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to help assist students who want to be prepared for the event. “There will be videos on developing an elevator pitch, infographics and pictures on what to wear and what not to wear, resume tips and advice on general career fair etiquette, such as warning students against collecting lots of giveaways during the fair and not having a free hand to shake,” Glenn said. The WVU Career Fair is a way for the University to show off its students’ wide range of talents in all different fields of study, and Glenn said as the number

of well-prepared and competitive students attending the event increases, so does the number of employers. Glenn said the WVU Career Fair is also a good way for students to learn about companies they may not have heard of before because they are not direct-to-consumer organizations. “B/E Aerospace, a global manufacturer, will be at the fair to find marketing interns in addition to engineers. Mondelez International’s portfolio includes Nabisco and Kraft just to name a few,” she said. A large number of students successfully find internship and full-time employment opportunities at the Career Fair, and students who impress recruit-

IF YOU GO WHAT: Two-day career fair for all WVU students. WHEN: March 19-20 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. WHERE: Mountainlair Ballrooms ers in person are more likely to be offered an interview. “Career fairs are one of the best, if not the best, way to meet with a large number of corporate recruiters face-to-face. Most of the time, students rely on electronic resumes to get their foot in the door,” Glenn said. “When you have the opportunity to make your first impression in person, you should take it.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 1 and Super Bowl XLVIII champion Bruce Irvin. “It’s always good to give back,” Irvin said. “I love West Virginia so much, so when they asked me, I didn’t hesitate. Hopefully we can make

this a tradition. I’m looking forward to continue doing this again each year.” All the football players in attendance shared the sentiment their involvement in the event was extremely important to them and was their way of giving back to the local community that once gave them so much.

Many of the players noted the experience as an opportunity to be a role model and someone for children to look to as a positive example. “It’s always good to get out and get involved with the kids. It was good to run around with them a little bit and break a little sweat,” Harris said. “I think back to when I was younger and going to camps like this. A lot of times these experiences don’t really hit the kids until much later in life, but it’s important for them to have people to look up to.” Event organizers said the idea for the day’s events stemmed from similar events hosted by professional organizations, including the NFL. “Pro sports organizations find ways to give back to their communities,” said Joey Harmon, a Day of Play executive. “There’s the NFL Play 60 to help reduce childhood obesity, and nothing like this has ever been done (here) before, so we just decided to use the resources we had and create something awesome out of it.” Among the local children who attended the Day of Play event was Adam Hill, an eighth grade student at Suncrest Middle School. Hill said he thought it was amaz-

ing that former WVU and current NFL football players would take time out of their schedules to spend the day with him. “I’m having a lot of fun, and it’s cool to hang out with all the football players,” Hill said. “I really like running, I run track, so these drills are pretty fun. I want to come to WVU when I grow up and play basketball or football.” Players and event participants also visited the WVU Children’s Hospital in the afternoon to inspire the patients and spread smiles with their infectious Mountaineer spirit. “My favorite part of the day was the hospital visit, the smiles on the player’s faces made the six months of hard work completely worth it,” said Collen Lewis, an event coordinator. “We all want to make a real difference in the next generation’s lives and ensure that they have every opportunity to succeed in their own lives. These events were the perfect way to make sure this happens.” Event coordinators and the players said they hope to make the Once a Mountaineer, Always a Mountaineer campaign an annual event. summer.ratcliff@mail.wvu.edu

DWOMS crowns champion couple BY JAKE JARVIS A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Benjamin Seebaugh and Katie Heller won first place in the Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars competition Saturday evening. The couple beat out 14 other couples to take home the gold. Seebaugh and Heller currently serve on West Virginia University’s Student Government Association as the vice president and member of the Board of Governors, respectively. After participating the competition in 2013, Heller convinced Seebaugh to be her partner this time around. The couple danced to a mash-up of Fergie’s “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” and Will.i.am’s “Bang Bang.” Dressed to the nines with a nod to 1930s fashion, they wowed the audience with classy performance. “There were a couple of timing issues, but aside from that, our practice really paid off,” Seebaugh said. “Katie (Heller) possesses a tremendous attention to detail, so we were able to focus on sharpening our dance during rehearsals.” As a part of the compe-

tition, the couples were responsible for acquiring donors for a blood drive hosted by the American Red Cross. For each donor, the couple would receive one additional point added to their overall score. Samantha Di Carlo and her partner Patrick Garcia tied with Seebaugh and Heller for getting the most donors and receiving special recognition from an ARC representative. “I felt like the winners deserved to win, but I think the number of people who went to the blood drive in support of the dancers played a huge role,” said Michael Phillips, a sophomore biology student. “The couple who took second place easily could have won if it hadn’t been for the large numbers of SGA members who gave blood.” The first runners up were Jackie Riggleman, a graduate assistant in Mountainlair Programming, and Steve Eccleston, a student in the College of Business & Economics. They danced to “Ladies Choice” from the musical “Hairspray.” This couple was by far the most energetic of the evening. During their performance, they had a glowing, genuine smile that told

Riggleman was left without a partner Wednesday evening when Ryan Boyd, her former partner, had to drop from the competition due to work commitments. Riggleman and Eccleston did a stunning job with only three days of rehearsal. Skip Smith, the 2013 Mountaineer Idol, and Mel Moraes, an alumna of the WVU Dance Team, were the second runners up. Smith wowed audi-

The pair then ripped off their pants to reveal colorful leggings and tank tops in which they danced their way to spring break bodies. One standout couple was Jeff Fuss, from the WVU Boxing Club, and Kristi Wood-Turner, from the WVU Center for Service and Learning.

EDITORIAL

The Daily Athenaeum’s 2014 SGA endorsements

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Candidates in the 2014 SGA elections participate in the ‘Great Debate’ Monday night in the Mountainlair. Before we announce our endorsements for this year’s Student Government Association elections, we would like to take a moment to explain ourselves in an attempt to head off the inevitable criticism that will come our way, regardless of whom we endorse. Our endorsements are made by The Daily Athenaeum’s editorial board, which is comprised of the editorin-chief, managing editor, opinion editor, city editor, sports editor and arts and entertainment editor. Reporters covering SGA elections also provided input in the decision. Endorsements are traditionally released by newspapers prior to the start of voting to provide voters with a reasoned case for supporting particular candidates. The reasoning behind newspaper endorsements goes something like this: as journalists, we spend our time closely observing politics, much more closely than the typical layperson. In our particular case,

we are the only journalists covering SGA throughout the year, so we are uniquely positioned to present a case for the election of particular candidates based on their records, as opposed to their rhetoric. These endorsements are merely the opinion of the staff. There will certainly be those who disagree, as is their right. But we hope students will consider our argument before casting their ballot, as we have put forth a great deal of effort to ensure we endorse the candidates who we feel will best serve our University. Polls will be open today through Thursday from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Students can cast their votes in the Mountainlair throughout the entire voting period and other polling places will be at the Law School and the Mineral Engineering Building today, the Student Recreation Center and Health Sciences Center Wednesday and Towers on Thursday. No matter who you vote

Spectators show their support during the debate with signs.

for, make sure and take the time out of your day to cast your vote. Now, here are our endorsements: For president and vice president, we endorse Farah Famouri and Kartik Motwani. We believe Famouri and Motwani have the most feasible plan for the University. Their Student Body Strategic Plan is in line with WVU’s goals and has been adapted to be easily accomplished within a school year. Famouri and Motwani are currently involved in a combined 18 student organizations on campus. Due to on-campus involvement, we believe the two are wellequipped to unify WVU and increase student involvement in many facets of the University. The pair’s experience and leadership, in and outside SGA, proves they are capable of leading the student body and stepping up to fight for students. While Chris Nyden’s goals and accomplishments should not be overlooked,

we believe Famouri and Motwani are the best team to take on the positions. For these reasons, we are confident that Famouri and Motwani are the most promising candidates for student body president and vice president, and we give them our full support. For Board of Governors and Athletic Council, we endorse the following candidates: Amanda Hutchison Hutchison’s desire to make WVU more accessible for students with disabilities is definitely worth pursuing. If achieved, Hutchison’s platform could transform WVU. Julie Merow Merow’s desire to make WVU’s dining options more inclusive to students with special dietary concerns is much needed. We believe this is a realistic plan to improve dining on campus. Mike Ibekwe As a public health student, Ibekwe is knowledgeable on his platform of student health and wellness. His ideas and goals to edu-

cate students will certainly benefit students – especially since health insurance will be mandated for all students in the 2014-15 school year. Anthony Braxton Braxton, a current BOG member, has accomplished quite a lot this year. If reelected, we believe Braxton will make great strides in student connectivity and with the Mountaineer Parent’s Club. Stephen Scott Scott, a current BOG member, has accomplished quite a lot with his platform of advising. Next year, Scott plans to take the data he obtained from survey work on campus and develop it even further. We firmly believe Scott will be able to make significant improvements to WVU’s advising process, which is much needed. Joy Wang Wang, another current BOG member, made significant strides with her mentorship program this year. As she shifts her focus to parking this campaign season, we believe she has a

parking amnesty program that would benefit students. Chelsea Malone Malone plans to bring a new organization to campus and work with the Carruth Center to improve the quality of mental health services available at WVU. We believe this is vital on any college campus, and Malone’s plan is a step in the right direction. Brian Bellew Bellew has a unique approach to improving stainability on campus. His ideas to bring organic foods from WVU’s organic farm to campus and measuring WVU’s carbon footprint are new approaches to increasing sustainability. We believe these are worth looking into. Lucas Hilsbos Hilsbos has already made great strides in bridging the gap between WVU and the local community. His ideas will do nothing but benefit both the city of Morgantown as well as WVU students. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The 86th Academy Awards supply laughter, elegance Jake Jarvis A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Sunday marked the 86th annual Academy Awards, known as the Oscars, at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Ca. Ellen DeGeneres returned as host to an evening full of laughs, beautiful fashion and predictable winners. All eyes were on the red carpet. This year we were treated to standout dresses showcasing rich color and perfect tailoring. Lupita Nyong’o, star of “12 Years a Slave” and winner of Best Actress in a Supporting Role, was easily one of the best dressed. In a soft blue Prada dress, Nyong’o looked elegant with a flowing, knife-pleated number. My personal favorite was Charlize Theron. Sporting a powerful black Dior dress, the deep-cut, decolletage neckline that gave a Maleficent vibe. The long train and $15 million worth of Harry Winston jewelery made her a stand-out queen. As the main event kicked off, I was excited to see DeGeneres hosting once again. She stayed true to herself and teased audience members and lightened the stressful mood. “Possibility No. 1, ‘12 Years A Slave’ wins best picture,” DeGeneres said. “Possibility No. 2, you’re all racists.” Halfway through the show, DeGeneres asked if anyone in the audience was hungry. Hands shot up in the air, which prompted the host to order Cici’s Pizza and distribute it to the crowd. But as the evening went on, the antics actually “broke” social networking site Twitter. Degeneres posted a selfie with stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts. This picture was the most retweeted in Twitter’s history, reportedly crashing

The show was a blast to watch, but the real reason we all tuned in was to see who would take home the trophy. Matthew McConaughey won Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in “Dallas Buyers Club.” Poor Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite being the most mentioned person on social media, (123,299 mentions according to the Oscars website), he lost once again. Another big win went to Jared Leto for his stunning portrayal of Rayon, a HIV-positive transgender woman, in “Dallas Buyers Club.” During his acceptance speech, he gave a heartfelt thank you to his mother for encouraging him to dream big. Although his performance was stunning, it is

disappointing the director Jean-Marc Vallee chose to cast Leto instead of an actual transgender woman. He made an offhand comment to CBS reporters when asked if he would ever cast a transgender woman in the role. “Never. (Are) there any transgender actors?” Vallee said. “I’m not aiming for the real thing. I’m aiming for an experienced actor who wants to portray the thing.” But the best acceptance speech of the evening goes to Cate Blanchett for Best Actress in a Leading Role. “And perhaps (to) those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the center are niche experiences, they are not,” Blanchett said. “Audiences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money.”

Villains steal TV audiences’ hearts ‘3 Days to Kill’ stars Kevin Costner Westley Thompson A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Why do we like the bad guys? Why is it we always root for the evil person to win? Many of the most popular television shows today feature a villain as the main character. AMC’s “Breaking Bad” follows the cunning and brilliant Walter White, someone whose greed and desire for power completely transformed him into a monster. Showtime’s “Dexter” follows a serial killer, and Netflix’s “House of Cards” documents the ruthless and driven Frank Underwood. Even when the villain isn’t the main character, they often attract quite a fan base. Spike from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was an evil vampire, meant to be the main enemy for only a season, but he quickly became such a fan favorite that Joss Whedon wrote him into the rest of the series. The Governor on “The Walking Dead” is another example of audiences loving the evil man.

So why do we like these guys? I suspect there are a few reasons. The first reason is they are more interesting. They offer more complexity in both their storyline and motivation. Good guys tend to have a very straightforward and often repeated story arc. Something happens, they are forced into a heroic role, they struggle, but eventually adapt and vanquish the villain. Bad guys do not have to hold to that pattern. Their motivation can be different – even entirely alien to us – and what is strange is interesting. What does Frank Underwood want? Power. Plain and simple. There is no tragic background, no metaphoric calling to arms – Frank wants power because he desires it. Nothing more. Even how they achieve their goals is exciting. Bad guys have no rules to follow. A paragon of humanity is bound to certain rules, and they cannot kill unless it’s justified. They must do the right thing, but bad guys aren’t. They can do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals. Frank Under wood wants to extend his reach in the U.S. government, so he lies and manipulates his way to the top. Dexter wants to rid Miami of criminals, so he ties them to a table and stabs them to death, but not before collecting a sample of their blood as a trophy. It’s fun to unwrap a villain’s personality, too. They are often more complex than the standard protagonist. For someone to be pushed into being evil, a lot had to happen.

Walter White’s ruthlessness was a result of years of being unrecognized and undervalued for his intellect, being screwed by his business partners and the rage of a whole life seemingly lived for nothing and ending too soon. Dexter’s struggle with his “dark passenger” and trying to assimilate into society and become human is another example of an interesting personality of a villain. A good guy would never have to struggle with such things. Villains are more complex and have different histories and motivations. “You know that he (Dexter Morgan) had trauma early in his life, and he’s doing it for a purpose,” said Jackson Lilly, a sophomore animal and nutritional science student at West Virginia University. “He’s not being bad to be bad.” Villains can also be liked simply because rooting for them is a refreshing change from how television shows normally work. Everybody is used to following the good guy, so when you have a chance to see the bad guy’s story from his point of view, it’s exciting and new. It gives a different perspective than what everyone is used to. Whether you love them, hate them or love to hate them, villains starring as the protagonists on their own shows is an awesome and exciting path for entertainment to take. Wildly successful shows like “Dexter,” “Breaking Bad” and “House of Cards” have proven this is a winning formula, and I’m excited to see where shows take this next.

Kevin Costner stars in ‘3 Days to Kill.’

Stephanie Messinger A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

«« «««« The action-packed and heart-wrenching movie “3 Days to Kill,” starring Kevin Costner as Ethan Renner, hit theaters in late February. Renner is an international spy struggling with his dedication to his job as a CIA agent and not spending time with his family. The great choices in actresses to accompany Costner’s main role were perfect for this thrilling movie. His wife is played by the beautiful Connie Nielsen, and with their rebellious teenage daughter, played by Hailee Steinfeld, all came together for the perfect dynamic of the less-than-perfect family. Their struggles and hardships seemed realistic and relatable through the big screen. The family deals with Renner’s lack of presence and what he believes to be his last chance

at life after finding out he has lung cancer and is given approximately three months to live. Renner attempts to play a larger role in the lives of his wife and daughter and make up the time he lost. Audiences were kept on their toes as Renner was given a second chance at life, though it came with the chance of losing his family after promising he would end his career. Vivi, a powerful character played by Amber Heard, offers him an experimental drug to extend his life. The catch? He must come to work for her with the mission of hunting down and killing the world’s most dangerous terrorist, as if struggling to spend time with his daughter and gain her affection was not hard enough. Renner accepts Vivi’s offer, and audiences go along for the roller coaster ride of Renner’s life as he balances being a CIA agent with teaching his daughter how to ride a bike. The fatherly role Renner attempted to take on kept

audiences laughing and entertained, as he often underestimated the job description of a full-time dad. This heart pounding story keeps getting better throughout the actionpacked, fight scenes from the old and dying Renner. There was never a dull moment in this movie, though at times Renner’s symptoms from his illness were pretty predictable and unrealistic, as they affected him just as he was ready to shoot the trigger and complete his mission. In the end, Renner’s attempt to keep his last mission from his family was something he could not do. “3 Days to Kill” has a nice twist at the end, and during the final scene, his relationship with his wife and daughter was finally mended. The ups and downs, fight scenes, humor and love made this movie one to remember in 2014. Costner did an excellent job selling his newest movie to audiences. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

WVU’s win over Baylor a historic feat

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Members of the WVU women’s basketball team come together before the team’s game against Texas Tech Feb. 26.

No. 7 West Virginia set to take on Kansas Jayhawks with Big 12 title hopes in reach by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 7 West Virginia women’s basketball team will close out its regular season schedule at home tonight against the Kansas Jayhawks at 7. There are five seniors on this year’s team – Asya Bussie, Christal Caldwell, Brooke Hampton, Jess Harlee and Taylor Palmer – all

who will be recognized prior to tonight’s tip off. WVU is coming off its best win of the season with a 71-69 road victory over No. 6 Baylor. With the win, the Mountaineers are in contention for a share of the Big 12 regular season title. Both Baylor and West Virginia are 15-2 in conference play with one game remaining. “I’m very proud of the team. It was a great win,”

said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “I’ve said it for the last two days. We just needed to keep it close at the end of the game.” WVU was led by Bussie, who scored 21 points while grabbing five rebounds and blocking three shots. Bria Holmes chipped in with 12 points, including going 3-for-4 from 3-point range. “I’m so happy for these

young ladies,” Carey said. “These girls understand what it takes to win at this level. Your whole career, you want to win a championship, and we’re right there if we can win (these next few games).” Kansas, who also upset Baylor earlier in the season, dropped four straight games and are coming off an 87-79 loss against Iowa State. The Jayhawks are led by junior forward Chelsea

Gardner, who averages 16.8 points per game. “I hate to be the downer, but we have to play (well) against Kansas,” Carey said. “It’s a quick turnaround in two days. The (Baylor win) means nothing if we can’t win that game.” WVU trails 3-2 in the series all-time, dating back to December 1992. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Alvarez, Martin homer as Pirates top Red Sox B R A D E N T O N, F l a . (AP) — Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin hit two-run homers off Brandon Workman, who started in place of injured Jake Peavy, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Boston Red Sox 7-6 Monday. Pittsburgh leadoff batter Starling Marte reached on an infield single in the first that stopped an 0-for-9 start, and Alvarez homered to right off Workman with two outs. Marte singled in the third, and Martin followed with a drive to left, his second homer in two days. Workman gave up five runs and five hits in 2 1-3 innings in place of Peavy, the right-hander who accidentally cut his left index finger with a fishing knife last weekend. Pirates starter Francisco Liriano struck out three and walked one in two hitless innings. Mike Carp, trying to win a bench job with the Red Sox, hit a two-run homer against Bryan Morris in the eighth. STARTING TIME Liriano zipped through his two innings on just 25 pitches. After giving way to Edinson Volquez, Liriano threw 10 more in the bullpen before calling it a day. “I felt a lot better about my fastball command today,” said Liriano, who’s made two starts. “The sinker was a lot better.” TRAINER’S ROOM Pirates first baseman Gaby Sanchez has not played since Friday, when he hurt his right knee while sliding into third base. Tests showed no structural damage, and Sanchez took some swings in a batting cage Monday. Red Sox manager John Farrell said there was no change in the status of Peavy. “He’s going to be pretty much day to day,” Farrell said. “We’ve got to be careful how much he sweats and be cautious

While Mountaineer fans may have been shocked at the result of Sunday’s game against Baylor, for the newly No. 7 West Virginia women’s basketball team, it was the result they expected. This team is centered on one goal – one that started as soon last season ended. For the seniors on this year’s team, their journey began after they were knocked out of the first round in the NCAA tournament by Delaware. Senior guards like Brooke Hampton and Christal Caldwell traded in beaches for hardwood during the summer to make sure they were set up for success. Center Asya Bussie put in two years of work to get her team in their current position. To be in contention for the Big 12 Conference title, West Virginia had to enter a hostile environment in the Ferrell Center, where Baylor had won 35 straight conference games. Before leaving for Waco, Texas, head coach Mike Carey said his team had nothing to lose, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Carey said that because he knows how to motivate his team and knows his team would respond by playing inspired basketball. The win solidified West Virginia as a contender for the women’s national title and may have even vaulted Carey’s name into the Coach of the Year conversation. I believe West Virginia’s 71-69 victory over the Lady Bears is the most important win from a WVU team since Dana Holgorsen guided the Mountaineers to a victory in the Orange Bowl in 2012. And the best part is this season isn’t even close to being finished. Every game the Mountaineers play from this point on will become more and more important. A Big 12 championship is great, but Carey has his sights on a larger prize. His mentality is perfectly portrayed in a picture that was taken right after the buzzer sounded. Averee Fields embraced one of her teammates while the rest of her team jumped up in celebration, but where is Carey? He was on the sideline, by himself, with no smile on his face. The win may have felt great, but Carey’s team is now in a position to do something for the first time in school history. If West Virginia can handle Kansas on Senior Night in the WVU Coliseum, it will represent the first conference regular season title since 1992 when the Mountaineers competed in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Even if Sunday’s win was the first time you watched this women’s team, Senior Night tonight is an excellent way to show this team and the five seniors who are the heart of this team the support they deserve. The foundation of hard work and determination paved the way for Mountaineers this year. There is a still a lot of work that needs to be done before this season is a success according to their standards.

about any potential infection getting in there. That’s what we’re gauging everything by now.” TAKING THE FIELD Travis Snider made his first start in the outfield this spring training. Snider had offseason foot surgery and sliced his left hand in a kitchen accident a few days before reporting to camp. He found out via Twitter about Peavy’s injury. “I heard that I’m not the only guy who had issues with a knife this spring,” Snider said. “We’ve got to come up with some kind of glove or something. Freak things happen.” Snider is battling Jose Tabata, Andrew Lambo and Jaff Decker for the starting job in right field. The Pirates hoped to make Snider their everyday right fielder last season, but he batted .215 in 111 games. “It was good to get back out there and run around a little bit,” Snider said. “When you don’t play for a handful of months and then get back into it, there’s going to be adjustments to make. I feel good about the work I’ve already put in.

GYMNASTICS

Deal peaking at right time for Butts, West Virginia by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

With the Big 12 Conference tournament and postseason just three weeks away, junior gymnast Beth Deal is peaking at the right time. Arguably one of the team’s best beam workers, Deal posted the second-best score in program history with a 9.95 on the event Feb. 21 at the Perfect 10 Challenge at Okla-

homa City. Against No. 22 Ohio State Deal scored a 9.85 on beam, tying for second place. The beam routine is without a doubt Deal’s strongest routine. The Parkersburg, W.Va., native said the routine just comes naturally to her. “It’s always been my strongest event and my favorite,” Deal said. “It just comes easiest to me.” Before enrolling at West Virginia, Deal was a three-

time Level 10 regional qualifier on the club level, and was also a 2011 Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier. A two-time Level 10 West Virginia all-around champion, Deal captured five all-around titles during her career at the club level. As a freshman in 2012, Deal was pronounced as the East Atlantic Gymnastics League beam champion. Deal also earned EAGL All-Academic Team

and won EAGL Rookie of the Week. Deal owned a season average score of 9.569 on beam that season, and her 9.9 performance helped the Mountaineers secure a victory at the EAGL Championship. In her sophomore season, Deal earned a beam season-average score of 9.725, ranking No. 2 on the team. She was also No. 20 in the Southeast region and No. 10 in the Big 12 on the event.

Deal said she credits her performance the past few weeks to her work ethic in the gym during practice. “When I compete, I try to think about being in Cary Gym,” Deal said. “How I practice is how I compete during meets, so it tends to work out in my favor.” After facing three ranked opponents at the Perfect 10 Challenge and beating Ohio State Sunday, Deal said she be-

lieves the team has some solid momentum heading into this weekend’s meet against No. 1 Florida. “I’m really excited to go against Florida,” Deal said. “I think it’s going to be a really fun meet.” Aside from her numerous athletic accolades, Deal is also a member of both the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Prediger earns air rifle championship at GARC competition by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Junior Maren Prediger earned the individual championship in air rifle after a slow start in the relay at the Great American Rifle Conference Championships Sunday in Oxford, Miss. The junior earned a 593 in the discipline, one of her lowest marks on the season, but pulled it together in the final, scoring 206.7 to bring home her first GARC individual championship. WVU head coach Jon Hammond spoke after the championship about Prediger’s perseverance. “You’ve got to hand it to Maren (Prediger) today,” Hammond said. “Despite her air rifle open relay, she got the job done in the final. That is a huge confidence booster for her, to be able to say that she is the air rifle champion in the conference.” Prediger has been at the top in air rifle all season for the Mountaineers. She finished first eight times this season, the most of any player on this team. The junior is averaging 572 in smallbore, 595 in air rifle and 1,166 overall, staying consistent in all categories. Prediger’s averages improved from 2013, in which she finished with a 563.6 in

smallbore, 594.6 in air rifle and 1158.2 overall in her first season with the Mountaineers. The junior joined the Mountaineers her sophomore year and emerged as one of WVU’s premier rife shooters. Prediger tied her career-best 598 air rifle, the team’s top mark at the team’s NCAA Qualifying Match in Columbus, Ohio in the 2013 season. At the GARC championships in the 2013 season, Prediger placed third in air rifles with a 699.7 mark, Prediger shot a championship-best 597 in the open relay. Friday night, the Petersaurach, Germany, native earned her second career All-GARC First Team Air Rifle honor. Prediger was also named to the AllGARC Combined Score Second Team and took home the team’s Scholar Athlete Honor. The awards were announced on the eve of the GARC championship and the WVU rifle team took home 14 total honors. “It’s always good to earn conference honors,” Hammond said. “We’ve had such a good season, so it’s nice to see the team pick up some individual awards, too.” Sophomore Garrett Spurgeon earned three first-team honors. The sophomore earned first

team All-GARC smallbore, air rifle and earned combined score recognitions. The conference honors are the second career smallbore and combined score firstteam recognitions for the shooter. In the 2013 season, Spurgeon was named to the Honorable Mention Air Rifle Team. Fellow s ophomore Patrick Sunderman was named to the All-GARC Air Rifle and Combined Score Second teams and the All-GARC Smallbore Honorable Mention Team. Junior Meelis Kiisk earned three honors Friday night. Kiisk earned All-GARC Smallbore, Air Rifle and Combined Score second teams. Senior Daniel Sojka was named to the AllGARC Smallbore Second Team, as well as junior Thomas Kyanko. Kyanko also earned honorable mention in combined score. The Mountaineers also brought the fifth consecutive GARC title to Morgantown. WVU now looks to the NCAA Championship where it will be vying for its second championship in a row and 16th overall. The championship will be held in two weeks at Murray, Ky. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Junior Maren Prediger aims at a target in a home competition against Kentucky earlier this season.

Riley cautions still plenty of time until playoffs MIAMI (AP) — Miami Heat president Pat Riley has a message for all the Miami Heat fans that are already looking ahead to the playoffs and a chance for a third straight NBA championship. “Before everybody gets excited, we’ve got another 24 or 25 games,’’ Riley said at a Heat charity function on Sunday. “We’re playing very well right now, but every day you keep ratcheting up what you need to do to get ready for what you know is going to be an incredibly competitive playoff. Right now, you have to keep in mind we have a long way to go.” The Heat (42-14) will head into Monday’s home game against Charlotte winners of seven straight and 10 of 11. They still have

to wait seven weeks before the playoffs. “Everybody thinks it’s right around the corner. No, a lot of stuff can happen,” Riley said. “We’re in home-court advantage races, not only in the West but in the East. That’s not an objective. “The objective, I think according to Coach (Erik Spoelstra), is that (we) stay on track with the defense and the rebounding, and I think we’ll be OK.” Riley touched on several other topics during a brief meeting with reporters. -On LeBron James: “The fact that he’s a confident player right now, probably the most confident player in the NBA, and it’s not born out of arrogance or born out of anything else other than the main thing, which is

winning. He wants to win. That’s all it’s about.” -On Dwyane Wade, who this season has been managing sore knees: “Dwyane is an 11-year veteran and he knows his way around the block. He knows what he has to do to get himself ready. Again, I go back 11 years with him, and I’ve seen him from the beginning to where he is today. He’s a smarter, more efficient in using his energy.” -On not signing former Heat swingman Caron Butler, who signed with Oklahoma City on Saturday after being bought out by Milwaukee earlier in the week: “We love Caron. We reached out to him but he was very definitive with what he wanted and I don’t think it’s something we could have promised.”

KU’s Embiid to sit out rest of regular season LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Joel Embiid will sit out the final two regular-season games for No. 8 Kansas so that he can rest a lower back strain that has already caused him to miss a game, and it’s possible the freshman center could be out through the Big 12 tournament. Jayhawks coach Bill Self said Monday that Embiid re-aggravated the injury and that experts have told the team’s training staff that the best remedy is simply rest. An MRI exam taken on his lower back came back negative. “We’ve made a decision that since we are so close to the postseason, we will reevaluate him on Sunday,” Self said. “If the discomfort ceases, he should be able to practice on Monday and participate in the Big 12 championship. If he’s still having symptoms of tightness and soreness, then we

will look at sitting him longer through the postseason conference tournament.” The Jayhawks, who have already wrapped up their 10th straight Big 12 championship, play host to Texas Tech on Wednesday night. They finish the regular season Saturday at West Virginia. They’ll have a first-round bye in the Big 12 tournament, which starts March 12. “There is no reason why he should not be feeling much better by the NCAA tournament,’’ Self said. ‘’The doctors feel that amount of time off should do him wonders for how he is feeling.” The 7-foot Embiid has been a revelation this season, averaging 11.2 points and 8.1 rebounds despite only playing basketball for a few years. The native of Cameroon is expected to be a lottery pick if he declares for the NBA draft, though he

told The Associated Press in a recent interview that he’s leaning toward returning to Kansas for his sophomore season. Either way, his ability to guard the rim – he’s already set the school’s freshman record for blocks - and create match-up problems in the paint will be invaluable in the NCAA tournament. Embiid miss the Jayhawks’ game against TCU on Feb. 15 with the same back injury, but came back to average 14 points and 10.3 rebounds the past four games. That includes a 12-point, 13-rebound performance against Oklahoma and a 13-point, 13-rebound outing against Oklahoma State. “It should not be an injury that keeps him out the rest of the season,” Self said. “Last time he was off five days and that worked nicely for him, and he was able to come back 100 percent.”

-On 7-foot center Greg Oden, who has returned after missing nearly four years due to knee injuries: “He’s gone through a lot and I just cross my fingers, and knock on wood every day that he stays healthy. And if he does, he’s going to get better. And if he gets better then we’re going to be better. That’s why we brought him in.” Riley also sounded content to leave the ingame decision making to Spoelstra. “Look at me, man. I am full of vitality to have some fun,” Riley said while standing next to wife Chris at the team’s Family Festival charity event. “Six years ago, when I was coaching, I was waking up at 5 a.m. It was dark and I was depressed.” Miami Heat President Pat Riley speaks to reporters in 2012.

Williams growing up in paint by connor murray

associate sports editor @connorkmurray

Freshman forward Devin Williams was a force in the paint during West Virginia’s 81-59 blowout win over TCU Saturday, registering a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. This was Williams’ first double-double since he grabbed 13 rebounds and scored 12 points against Oklahoma State Jan. 11. “It feels good. I feel like I worked for it,” Williams said. “My mom always said, ‘What you put in is what you get out,’ and I’ve really just been trying to prepare (in) these last two or three games.” In the 20 minutes Williams played Saturday, he was able to stay out of foul trouble, only committing two fouls. Williams said that was a key in allowing him to make such an impact in the post. “I actually got to play a whole game without fouling out or being in foul trouble, so I think that played a part in it,” he said. Saturday’s performance was one of several high notes of Williams’ freshman season. Although he lacks consistency at times, Williams said he is learning how to become a more effective post player. “What I’ve learned this year is probably just to

C Devin Williams dunks the ball Saturday against TCU. make your move as quick as you can, because everybody on the team is there to help each other,” Williams said. “If I don’t make that move quick enough, I’m just letting the defense reset itself. I’m just trying to adapt and make quick moves and be efficient.” With the depth issues West Virginia has faced because of injuries and illnesses this season, Williams has been placed into an important role early in his college career. “It’s been difficult, especially the role I have been playing this year. We’re down to eight players now, and the role that I was already given was big, but now being down to seven or

eight players … It’s really more demanding,” Williams said. Although Williams said he struggled some along the way in his freshman season, his mother has been a source of reassurance and inspiration. “I’ve been struggling and going up and down, but my mom just told me, ‘You’ve got to find yourself, and the only way you’re going to find yourself is to stay focused, stay prepared and stay in the gym,’” Williams said. West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said Williams’ effort in the second half Saturday made a big impact on the game. “The difference in

our team is Devin Williams played in the second half. He came out and rebounded the ball and played like a man. He scored it close, and it makes all the difference in the world,” Huggins said. With all of the preparation Williams put in this season, he said it felt rewarding to see his hard work pay off on the court Saturday and wants to keep this momentum going into the final two games of the regular season. “It’s been a long time coming. I feel good, and I want to move forward and hopefully get (a double-double) in Oklahoma,” Williams said.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — David Robertson pitched a scoreless fourth inning Monday in his first appearance as the Yankees’ new closer in New York’s 4-2 victory over the Washington Nationals. Robertson hit his first batter, Danny Espinosa, then induced a double-play grounder by Tyler Moore to shortstop Derek Jeter, who fielded a tough-hop grounder. Robertson is replacing career saves leader Mariano Rivera, who retired after last season. “It was OK. ... I got three outs,” Robertson said. “I would have liked to throw some better pitches, but I’ll get another chance.” Jeter went 0 for 3, including a double-play grounder. He is hitless in seven at-bats over three spring training games. The Yankees captain broke an ankle in the 2012 AL championship series and played in just 17 games last season. Zach Walters hit a solo homer for the Nationals. T R A I N I N G ROOM Nationals: Outfielder Bryce Harper, sent home Sunday with flulike symptoms, is expected to play Tuesday against Atlanta. “ He actually wanted to come on the trip, but after yesterday I just told him to take another day,” manager Matt Williams said. Right fielder Jayson Werth, who strained his right biceps while working out Saturday, will be evaluated Tuesday. Washington relievers Tyler Clippard (back) and Drew Storen (personal matter) are expected to pitch in the next few days. Yankees: First baseman Mark Teixeira, limited to 15 games last year because of a right wrist injury, hit against pitchers for the first time this year and hopes to play Thursday. Teixeira went 2

for 4 batting righthanded in a simulated game, including a lined single and a bloop single to right that he jokingly called a triple. “First of about 20 this year,” he said. Teixeira, a switchhitter, also hit two foul balls and missed a pitch during 12 pitches left-handed. Manager Joe Girardi didn’t rule out outfielder/designated hitter Alfonso Soriano (flulike symptoms) from also playing for the first time Thursday. STRASBURG START Washington righthander Stephen Strasburg is scheduled to make his first start Tuesday. Strasburg, who had bone chips removed from his surgically repaired right elbow last October, is to throw two innings. The 25-year-old is 29-19 over four seasons, including 8-9 last year with a 3.00 ERA in 30 starts. “We’re not going to push him to three at this point regardless of his pitch count,” Williams said. STARTING TIME Nationals: Fifth starter candidate Ross Detwiler gave up four runs, five hits and struck out three in 1 1-3 innings. Tanner Roark, also in the mix for the final rotation spot, scattered two hits over two scoreless innings. Yankees : Ivan Nova threw three hitless innings, striking out four. ANDY’S ANSWER Yankees spring training instructor Andy Pettitte arrived for a three-day stay and said he plans to stay retired. Pettitte, who threw batting practice, retired after the 2010 season, returned for 2012 and 2013, then retired again. “There’s nothing in the works,” he said. Pettitte, 41, discussed the announcement last month that Jeter intends to retire after this season. The Yankees captain turns 40 in June.
