Nigerian students protest terrorist organization

WVU 76 | ALBANY 61

ROUND OF 32 BOUND “We got a big lead and quit playing. We quit attacking and started to foul. We had some players (who) didn’t hit shots and they just stopped playing. If we come out and play like that against LSU, we will get beat. We had some seniors out there making freshmen mistakes” — Coach Mike Carey

by jacob bojesson staff writer @dailyathenaeum

A group of Nigerian students hosted a solitary rally outside the Mountainlair on Sunday to shed light on an alarming situation in their country.

Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist terrorist organization in northeast Nigeria with ties to al-Qaida, is responsible for a series of terrorist attacks dating back to 2009.

Boko Haram means “Western education is sinful,” and it strives to build a Nigeria ruled by Sharia law that distances itself from Western customs and beliefs.

The group has been increasing its activity, and Nigerian students at West Virginia University hosted the rally to show they do not accept nor are affiliated with the actions of the group.

“We’re not a terrorist state. We’re just a group of hardworking people,” said Oladokun Fadoju, one of the initiative takers. “They are trying to portray the country (in a bad way) and give it a negative image that it doesn’t have, so what we’re trying to do here is send a message to the international community that our country is not a bad country. Our country is a peaceful and loving country.”

Boko Haram claimed responsibility for the bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Nigeria in 2011 that killed 21 people, and in recent months, they have burned down thousands of buildings throughout Nigeria.

In February, the group slit the throats of 41 schoolboys in the Nigerian state of Yobe.

The organization has grown and expanded its operations to neighboring countries Cameroon and Niger, and the U.S. State Department has now raised warning flags about the group and worry its rapid expansion will increase an already dangerous situation in the area.

“It’s more political than it seems, but when it becomes societal, it becomes a big problem,” Fadoju said. “It’s a struggle for political power.”

Many students from other African countries showed up to the rally to show their support.

Some of the students said Western countries often tend to group all Africans under one label, and they are concerned the same will happen with the Boko Haram terrorists.

“Bigger countries like Nigeria summarize a lot of what happens in Africa,” said Faith Chaibva, a student from Zimbabwe. “Smaller countries like mine do matter but more credit is given to these bigger countries, and they really portray an important picture when it comes to the reputation of Africa. This has to stop because we love Nigeria. It’s a wonderful country, and this is not fair.”

College of Law to host College Republicans hosts annual convention water legislation talk by caroline peters

by alexis randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Water, water politics and water preservation have all become buzz words around West Virginia.

The West Virginia University College of Law will hold a symposium, “Protecting West Virginia’s Water: Legislation, Litigation and Lessons Learned for the Future of Water Regulation in West Virginia,” at 5:30 p.m. at the College of Law in the new event hall.

The symposium will feature speakers from all parts of West Virginia water management including representatives from the Senate; the West Virginia Water Institute; the West Virginia Department of Health & Human Resources; the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection; and the WVU Law School.

Joshua Ash, a second-year law student and president of the Environmental Law Society, said the speakers will offer professional, diverse perspectives.

“The thought was there are a lot of different aspects of it that not just one person would be able to touch on,” Ash said. “So, we gained speakers from the public health perspective, an overall analysis of water in the state in general and the role of those implementing regulations and a lot of issues they encounter.”

According to Ash, students with all levels of interest will be engaged with this diverse group.

“I think WVU has a role in West Virginia as a beacon, guiding where the state is going. People in a lot of ways look to Morgantown as more progressive,” he said. “Students have an obligation to know the issues of the state because it is a state institution.”

Ash said issues like this are addressed by multiple stakeholders, making this a multidisciplinary event, and students can be proactive in getting informed about water regulations and politics.

The College Republican National Committee held its annual convention Saturday. Young Republicans and community members gathered to listen to Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, Congressman David McKinley and other active members of the Republican Party.

Morrisey said he was honored to speak with young college students.

“When I heard about the opportunity to come here today, I was pretty excited because I was once a young republican,” Morrisey said. “I was very active on campaigns, worked my way up to the top and had a phenomenal experience.”

Morrisey said the upcoming 2014 election year could be a gamechanger for the state of West Virginia.

“We can make huge progress in the state senate. We have a chance to really pick up control of the House of Delegates, for the first time since the 1930s,” Morrisey said. “We know that West Virginia has a lot of potential and is the third highest leader in energy. As a state, we are also in a strategically valu-

“West Virginia should be soaring from an economic

lieved their future would be due to the current job market.

“Young people across America are getting hurt the most because they can’t find jobs,” McKinley said. “Unfortunately, America doesn’t communicate very well. They don’t understand that regulation costs jobs.”

Amanda Pasdon, delegate of District 51, said people didn’t take her seriously when she decided to run for office.

“When everyone heard, they said, ‘Oh, That’s cute.’

Me, being the competitive person that I am, was determined to prove them wrong,” Pasdon said. “We went door to door, went to a lot of community festivals. It wasn’t about me. It was about the energy and enthusiasm I bring to represent my constituents.”

Ron Walters, a current runner for Congress, said the nation’s debt is his primary reason for entering the race.

The Rack participates in hunger challenge by meagan carpenter staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Rack, West Virginia University’s campus food bank, is participating in the Feinstein $1 Million Giveaway to Fight Hunger challenge that started March 1 and ends April 30.

Alan Shawn Feinstein is one of the world’s leading philanthropists, and for the 17th consecutive year, the Feinstein $1 Million Give-

away will give organizations money to help supply their food banks.

The Rack was started in September 2010 for students who can’t afford food or are afraid to ask for help.

These students are able to go to The Rack and get basic, nonperishable food items.

Jacqueline Dooley, the program coordinator for student organizations and the program director of The Rack, said this is the first year WVU is participating

in the challenge and hopes the students and other organizations on campus will help students in need.

The Feinstein Giveaway looks at how much each food bank collects as well as the money donated during the challenge and uses that to gauge how much money each organization will receive.

“We are really hoping that we can be competitive with other food banks,” Dooley said.

The winning amounts

that could be awarded to the top collecting food banks range from $250-$35,000.

The Rack has raised more than $1,000 in donations since the beginning of the challenge but Dooley said she hopes students and faculty help to raise more money during the next month to help win a part of the $1 Million Giveaway.

“We are hoping that we can get everyone involved and make this a University challenge and goal,” Dooley said.

Dooley said The Rack has been a way for students to connect with each other and learn about different cultures. Students have been able to boost their self-esteem by coming to The Rack, and this challenge will not only help supply more food for students but will fund the program.

“This challenge gives us the opportunity to have more money to help supply more food for students, and it’s a really fun way to try and raise money,” Dooley

said. “We really need help, and the sky is the limit.”

The Rack accepts nonperishable items in boxes and cans and can be dropped off at the Mountainlair Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.2:30 p.m. or at the Gaskins House during the challenge.

For more information about drop-off locations or any questions about the challenge, contact Dooley at 304-293-3875 or jacqueline.dooley@mail.wvu.edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Faculty, staff give back to WVU with Gold Blue & You campaign by meagan carpenter staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Faculty and staff at West Virginia University are urged to give back to the University by submitting donations to help students enhance their education at WVU through the Gold Blue & You Campus Campaign.

Gold Blue & You Campus Campaign is an annual fund-raising effort that pro-

vides faculty and staff an opportunity to directly impact the West Virginia University community through their charitable donations.

The campaign started this week and runs through May 30.

The WVU Foundation asks faculty and staff to give back to what matters most to them. “(They) can give back to anything that they love, whether it’s back to their

college, to a specific scholarship, travel fund or an athletic program,” said Kara Jenkins, Mountaineer Line and Campus Campaign Coordinator at the WVU Foundation.

Email blasts will be going out every two weeks until the end of the campaign that feature videos of faculty saying what they love about WVU and how their contributions might help.

“We are really stress-

ing participation this year,” Jenkins said. “No matter the size of the gift, just giving back to the University is the main goal of this campaign.”

2013 was a record year for the campaign with more than 1,600 faculty and staff donating more than $2 million.

When a faculty or staff member makes a donation, he or she is able to specify where they would like their

money to go, and if they so choose, the money can be split up among several different funds. Many of the donations not only go to individual schools but fund the scholarships students receive from WVU and the WVU Foundation.

The WVU Foundation also has special funds, including a scholarship fund for Children of Classified Staff, WVU Faculty-Staff Emergency Relief Fund,

The WVU student food pantry The Rack and The House That WVU Built.

“All the gifts truly make a difference at WVU, and we hope that the faculty and staff will consider giving back to the University and help build the future of the University,” Jenkins said.

Officials: 18 missing in Washington mudslide ARLINGTON, Wash. (AP) — Looking for any signs of life in the quicksand-like mud below, searchers in helicopters scanned a huge debris field Sunday trying to find 18 people still unaccounted for following a deadly landslide that ripped through homes and blocked a river, threatening flooding, in rural northwestern Washington state.

Rescuers’ hopes of finding more survivors were buoyed late Saturday when they heard people yelling for help from within the debris field, but they were unable to reach anyone.

The mud that killed at least three people and destroyed as many as 30 homes

was so thick and deep that searchers had to turn back.

Rescuers couldn’t hear any signs of life once they got closer, and the decision was made to retreat because it was too dangerous, Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots said Sunday.

“We have this huge square-mile mudflow that’s basically like quicksand, it’s extremely fluid,” he said.

The slide wiped through a grouping of homes nestled by the hills and trees. One neighborhood “is not there anymore,” Hots said.

Because of the unstable situation, authorities said it was too dangerous to send rescuers into the area Sun-

day, so searchers took to the sky above the 1-square-mile mudslide.

Some of the missing may have been able to get out on their own, authorities said. The number of missing could change because some people may have been in cars and on roads when the slide hit just before 11 a.m.

Saturday, Hots said.

Officials described the mudslide as “a big wall of mud and debris.” It blocked about a mile of State Route 530 near the town of Oso, about 55 miles north of Seattle. It was reported about 60 feet deep in some areas.

Authorities believe the slide was caused by ground water saturation from recent

“My kids and students inspired me to run for office. My son actually goes to school here at WVU. My wife attended here 20 years ago,” Walters said.

Several people – including an infant – were critically injured. About 20 to 30 people have been displaced, County Executive John Lovick said.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee described the scene as “a square mile of total devastation” after flying over the disaster area Sunday. He assured families that everything was being done to find their missing loved ones.

“There is a full scale, 100 percent aggressive rescue going on right now,” said Inslee, who proclaimed a state of emergency.

The slide blocked the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River. With the water rising rapidly behind the

debris, authorities worried about downstream flooding and issued an evacuation notice Saturday. The water had begun to seep through the blockage Sunday afternoon.

Snohomish County officials said Sunday that residents could return home during daylight hours, but that they’ll likely re-issue the evacuation order Sunday night.

John Pennington, director of Snohomish County Emergency Management Department, said there were concerns that the water could break downstream, as well as back up and flood areas upstream.

Shari Ireton, a spokes-

woman for the Snohomish County sheriff’s office, said Sunday that a total of eight people were injured.

A 6-month-old boy and an 81-year-old man remained in critical condition Sunday morning at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

Hospital spokeswoman Susan Gregg said two men, ages 37 and 58, were in serious condition, while a 25-yearold woman was upgraded to satisfactory condition.

Bruce Blacker, who lives just west of the slide, doesn’t know the whereabouts of six neighbors.

“It’s a very close knit community,” Blacker said.

Hard rock band Saliva fills Schmitt’s Saloon, prepares re-release jake jarvis a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Hard rock band Saliva visited Schmitt’s Saloon and promoted the band’s latest single and forthcoming album.

I’ll be honest, I am not a fan of the hard rock genre.

The intensity, the raucous behavior and the easily misunderstood lyrics just don’t sit well with me.

However, I was pleasantly surprised with Saliva.

Saliva is a four-man rock group from Memphis, Tenn.

Their recipe for success stems from their members – Dave Novotny on bass, Wayne Swinny on guitar, Paul Crosby on drums, and Bobby Amaru on vocals.

If you’ve never heard of Saliva, that should change.

But if the name sounds familiar, it’s probably because of their song “Your Disease”

from their sophomore album, “Every Six Seconds.”

This was what caught the public’s attention in 2001.

Joining the group in 2012, Bobby Amaru is the latest addition to the band. He helped bring about a new sound fans are loving.

Amaru replaced Josey Scott, the original vocalist when the band formed. So far the only release featuring his work was the band’s eighth studio album, “In It to Win It.” However, this is no longer available to purchase.

The band’s label, Rum Bum Records, chose to rerelease the album, but with a spin – look out for the new album, “Rise Up,” which will feature most of the same songs, but will also include more songs.

“Rise Up,” the band’s current single, is stellar. Its hard-thumping bass brings

a steady heartbeat to the room. It’s an all-out anthem, addressing the many problems we face in our society. The lyrics prompt us to “choose a side.”

As someone who isn’t a big fan of hard rock, I can definitely say I was completely won over when they played this song.

Bobby Huff, producer of “In It To Win It,” is clearly a great choice for the band.

He’s worked with other groups, including 3 Doors Down, Papa Roach and Drowning Pool.

“It was great,” said Robert Wolfe, a history graduate student at West Virginia University. “The guys seemed like they were having a great time up there, and it really came across. I had a great time.”

The sizeable audience really got into the music.

Most people who come to Schmitt’s Saloon are hardcore music lovers, and this

‘Young Wanderlust’ deals with M.T. Pockets brings southern flare path taken after college graduation with ‘Laundry & Bourbon,’ ‘Lone Star’ jake jarvis a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

««««« Evan Kenward, author of “Young Wanderlust,” delivers a touching tale of one man’s journey to find freedom.

Wanderlust, a traditionally German word, found its way into English language in the early 20th century.

It means the strong desire to wander, or to travel, to unknown locations. This is a common feeling for many 20-something college graduates looking for a sense of purpose.

“The thought of staying in one’s hometown never sat well with me,” Kenward wrote.

After graduating college, Kenward left his comfy Massachusetts lifestyle to drive across country in hopes of having a one of a kind summer experience.

Armed with two best friends, Gill and Wallace, the young traveler set out under the cover of night.

Kenward planned for the trip for more than a year, meticulously planning out the route to try to best optimize the experience. But as many of us know, plans fail.

Early on in the journey, the trio began to travel through the Northwest, and bad weather brought

the group to an all-time low.

Yet, like every true traveler does, Kenward accepted their fate and acted accordingly. He completely changed the route and ultimately had a better time because of it.

The book, reading as sort of day-by-day commentary on the events, shows us great insight about the realities of traveling.

Throughout most of the book, Kenward and his friends avoid the typical tourist attractions. He expresses that by only visiting these places, you miss out on the real feeling a place can give you. So, they dine at local eateries, literally go off the beaten path and take questionable advice from men at gas stations.

And throughout the journey, his humor is undeniable. In times of struggle, Kenward often cracks a joke or finds a different way of looking at the situation that lightens the feel of the book.

What initially drew me to this book was the cover.

The juxtaposition of the mountains and the city skyline made me eager to at least see what the book was about.

Opening the book, the first thing that struck me was the map of the journey. I feel like this book almost serves as a “How To” guide for all those looking for an adventure, and the map just makes it more legitimate.

WESTLEY THOMPSON a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

amazon.com

What’s incredible is Kenward published this book entirely on his own.

By using CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, he was able to take control of his book and distribute it how he wanted.

It’s kind of poetic, don’t you think? The journey of Kenward and his friends was formed out of hard work and patience. So was his book.

I would without a doubt recommend this book for anyone who has a twinge of feeling out of place in the world. His words will resonate on an entirely new level for most readers.

“Laundry & Bourbon” and “Lone Star,” written by Texan playwright Christian Cox will be performed this weekend at M.T. Pockets Theatre.

The two plays follow different sets of characters but are both related to each other.

“Laundry & Bourbon” is about three women – Elizabeth, Hattie and Amy – as they spent a hot Texas afternoon gossiping with each other and sipping on bourbon and Coke on Elizabeth’s porch.

They discussed many topics, including Elizabeth’s marital difficulties and Hattie’s terribly misbehaved kids.

“Lone Star” takes place one night behind a bar in Maynard, Mass. This play follows Roy, Elizabeth from “Laundry & Bourbon’s” husband.

He and his brother, Ray, drink Lone Star beer while discussing the Roy’s problems since he returned from Vietnam, the old glory days of high school and Roy’s beloved pink Thunderbird.

In “Laundry & Bourbon,” Hattie steals the show with her loud and c o m i ca l ly o b n ox i ou s attitude.

She ironically screams at women on TV game shows for being too loud and

dumb, while displaying these very characteristics herself.

Her phone conversations with her children, who are cared by their grandmother, are also funny.

The audience can only hear her side of the conversation, so their mind fills in the details about what Hattie’s horrible brats are up to.

Amy also adds a great deal to the humor aspect of the play.

Her bridge team plays at the country club, somewhere Elizabeth and Hattie can’t get into. Although she stops by under the guise of selling tickets to her church’s pancake lunch fundraiser and dropping off air conditioner parts from her husband’s store, she is actually there to dig for information on Elizabeth and Roy’s troubled relationship.

Their passive aggressive fight soon erupts into an outwardly physical conflict, though both of them can still bond over gossiping about the other women in town. “(My) favorite scene was the climactic scene when they (Hattie and Amy) were chasing each other with boxes and plants,” said Josh Rocchi, an audience member.

“Lone Star” dealt with more serious issues, such as life after the Vietnam War and seeing things change too quickly, but

also had much more slapstick-style humor in it.

Roy and Ray interacted perfectly with each other, and both had the audience laughing with every single line. Through facial expressions and body language, they also added immensely to the |humor.

This play was very well-acted, and the actors who played the brothers acted like family.

They would fight and argue and call each other “dumb,” but in the end they both loved each other immensely.

The nerdy and insecure Cletis “Skeeter,” husband of “Laundry and Bourbon’s” Amy, is also funny. He worships Roy, even though Roy is outwardly hateful and aggressive toward him. His fumbling attempts to be cool just like Roy lead to a lot of trouble.

Despite the whole mess the night becomes, the two brothers learn life changes and moves on, but they will always have each other.

Both plays were funny and well-acted. Audience members Kendall Eby and Billy Pennington said the play was “hilarious.”

These two plays will be performed again Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Young Artists Symphony Orchestra concert features four music students by pawatchai suwankangka Correspondent @DAILYATHENAEUM

Four music students were selected to perform with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra Thursday. These students won the annual Young Artist Concerto Competition held by the WVU School of Music, which gave them an opportunity to perform a concerto.

A concerto is a type of musical genre in which a soloist plays with the orchestra. The students performed with the WVUSO and Mitchell Arnold as a conductor.

The program began with the first movement of Prokofiev’s “Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor,” written in 1935.

It started with a simple violin melody that has the style of traditional Russian folk music. The moderateto-fast tempo, “Allegro moderato” began with a longing solo from the violin answered by the lower strings, then followed quickly by brilliant passages that ring beautifully in the hall.

The horn and the oboe echoed the theme as the violin solo takes flight before bringing the string sections along with it.

The movement ends in a meditative mood; the horns sounding a muted call against the pizzicato of the strings.

Diego Gabete-Rodriguez, a doctoral violin student from McTeer’s studio, captivated the audience with his powerful sound even though he had to play with

a medium-sized orchestra.

The difficulty of this work is the communication between the conductor and the soloist since this concerto consists of various tempo changes. Overall, their communication was successful as the conductor was able to guide both the orchestra and the soloist along very well. The soloist also performed his role effectively.

Carl Wiggins is a doctoral saxophone student studying with Michael Ibrahim. He performed “Concertino da Camera” by Jacques Ibert.

This work is a concertino, a smaller concerto genre, consisting of three movements in which the second movement is connected to the third movement without break.

The first movement, “Allegro con moto,” is in a lively style and is technically demanding. The second movement dramatically contrasts with the first. It begins with a haunting and lyrical passage, and the third movement resumes the energetic elements from the first movement.

Wiggins was able to produce a very beautiful tone quality even when posed with the difficulty of fastrunning passages. He was also able to project the crescendo – a musical term meaning gradually louder, smoothly, dramatically – but still blended with the orchestra.

After a short intermission, Jocelyn Lee, a junior piano student from Amstutz’s studio, performed the first movement of

Beethoven’s “Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37.”

Beethoven has been known to compose intense, passionate and lyrical pieces of music. His “Concerto No. 3 in C minor for piano and orchestra” begins with the strings introducing the first theme.

The orchestra produced a warm, generous tone, and two main themes were introduced before the soloist joined in.

The audience was clearly captivated since the sounding of Lee’s first energetic ascending scale run and was very impressed by her meticulously articulated running passages and matured interpretation of the music.

She was able to fully convey the dramatic element of this concerto through the cadenza, a solo improvisatory passage that portrays the technical abilities of the soloist, with pure passion and imagination.

There was a lot of elegance and tenderness in her musical portrayal of the music. Lee not only enjoyed playing the solo part but also listened well for the balance of the orchestra.

Another piano concerto that was performed on that day was “Concerto in A minor” by Norwegian composer Edward Grieg.

Even though this is the only piano concerto he composed, but it is among the most popular romantic

piano concerto played by various pianists.

The first movement, “Allegro molt moderato,” was performed by Hyejeong Seong, a doctoral piano student also from Amstutz’s studio.

The timpani roll at the beginning and the following powerful piano chords enraptured members of the audience, making their hearts pound with excitement. She continued with passion, coupled with a generous tone and fine control of the keys.

Since this work was written in the Romantic period, the orchestra size is usually big and powerful, but Seong was still able to maintain a fine balance with the

orchestra.

At the grand cadenza, she shaped the long crescendo passage dramatically before the climax with her delicate fingerwork. The many octaves in the final section of the concerto were solid and skillfully phrased even with an exuberant rush of adrenaline.

As she punched down the keys for the final note, the audience was in awe at the glorious sound produced by the Steinway grand piano.

The contrasts in genre between Gabete-Rodriguez, Wiggins, Lee and Seong were satisfying – offering audiences a singular pleasure with a variety of style.

Reducing plastic pollution

pt-a.blogspot.com

SARAH COOPER

COLUMNIST

We live in a throwaway culture that uses more plastic than it can afford.

The 5 Gyres Institute is an organization dedicated to reducing plastic pollution and remnants across the globe, and while they’ve made progress by getting more people and companies to recycle the non-biodegradable material, daily face washes and toothpastes are still posing a problem.

“It’s an unfortunate reality that people just go to the store and see products that look really cool, like a bottle that has floating beads in a clear liquid,” said Sherri Mason, an associate professor of chemistry and program coordinator of environmental sciences at State University of New York. “They are

appealing to the eye from a marketing standpoint, but then they wash their face, and the beads go down the drain.”

Although your face wash may be preventing acne, it’s prone to be the cause of an unseen and potentially drastic environmental concern. Most personal care products appear to contain natural exfoliates such as apricot seeds, sugar and sea salt, but actually contain to the flexible and cheap chemicals known as polyethylene and polypropylene.

Both chemicals are used by most leading companies to create plastic beads ranging in size from 4 micrometers to 1.2 millimeters – leaving some to be seen by the naked eye and others so small it’s difficult to even notice their presence.

While microbeads may be less visible than plastic bags, they are no less envi-

ronmentally problematic.

These beads, ranging at about 300,000 per bottle, serve to appease the consumer by giving them a chemically enhanced cleanse and are beginning to pollute waterways worldwide.

According to an EcoWatch article, “The problem is that wastewater treatment plants are not equipped to filter or break the plastics down. The micro plastics in body products are particularly problematic because they can’t be removed from water by waste treatment facilities.”

Because of their size and chemical nature, these micro-beads swim their way through waterbeds and attract other neighboring chemicals along for the ride.

As revealed in 2012 by a study at Lake Erie, researchers from the 5 Gyres Institute found polyethylene and polypropylene concentra-

tions within the lake were contaminated with traces of aluminum silicate and coal ash, contributing to the estimated 450,000 particles of plastic recovered per square kilometer. The study showed the microbeads do react with and carry other toxic materials.

The pollution of water sources by the beads has not yet affected human life, because they are often caught during fabric filtration processes during treatment. However, many animals could begin showing signs of microbead agitation. Microbeads become fish and bird food as they stick to plants near waterways where they’re eaten.

As humans and other animals eat fish, these microbeads can begin tampering with life on a cellular level as they work their way up the food chain.

Ultimately, undoing the current amount of pollu-

Shedding light on the plight of sex workers JAKE JARVIS A&E WRITER

Recently, I’ve seen stories about Project ROSE (Reach Out to the Sexually Exploited) in Phoenix.

Project ROSE is the combined efforts of Phoenix police and the Arizona State University School of Social Work. It sounds all well and good, helping the sexually exploited, until you hear how they’re “helping.”

More than 350 women were handcuffed against their will and brought to Bethany Bible Church.

They were then given two options: go to jail with felony charges or admit to being a sex worker and complete a six-month diversion program.

This program promised the victims with housing, detox and mental health care help – but only after being interviewed by Catholic Charities DIGNITY counselors to determine how eligible they are.

Only 83 percent of the women were eligible for the program. Of the 83 percent, only 30 percent of the workers actually completed the program. So basically, on average three out of four women received no benefit from this program and were only hurt.

Bias against sex workers exists everywhere. Until very recently in NYC, police officers could stop and frisk those considered suspicious, often trans women of color. Condoms found on their person were con-

DA

sidered proof of prostitution and grounds for arrest.

Monica Jones, a trans woman of color and proud sex worker in Phoenix, warned her peers of a coming sting. That night, she was picked up from a bar, handcuffed by an officer and taken to a men’s jail where her safety was in danger.

She chose the diversion program only out of fear for her safety.

“As a social worker, you’re supposed to see your clients as human beings,” Jones said. “But (their) way of thinking is that once you’re a sex worker, you can never not be a sex worker.”

The fear of the police forces sex workers underground, far from the light of anything that could help lessen the harm. Furthermore The National Aids Control Council warns this criminalization and the stigma around sex work ultimately harms the fight against HIV/AIDS. For those who are “wishing the best” for the safety of the sex workers, we need to re-evaluate how we act as an ally. Often times, like in Phoenix, our morality compels us to save sex workers to make ourselves feel better.

What’s worse is the bias all sex workers are drug addicts or they are only in their line of work because of lack of real life skills and are unable to get a normal job. Basically, the underlying assumption is they all need help. This is not the case and only serves as a power assertion of the advocates, stripping them of dignity.

Like it or not, sex workers

provide a service. Their service is not something most of the general populous think they could do. And there is a market for that service – there will always be a market.

In September 2013, an unnamed sex worker was found stabbed five times and left for dead in Benjamin Esquivel’s closet. Her body, found by Esquivel’s mother, was discovered five days prior to calling the police.

Are the efforts to rescue sex workers saving this woman or others like her?

Absolutely not. However, as allies, we can help empower her with knowledge about sexual health and how to be safe with clients.

Individuals who do get into sex work do so because of poverty. Take away the poverty, and we take away the supply for most sex work.

The penalties for sex work should be lowered, if not eliminated. We tell these men and women to find jobs, and yet with our current legal system, the harsh punishments for being caught make it all but impossible to find a job other than sex work. What corporation would hire an individual with a felony for prostitution?

Furthermore, we need to embrace sexuality and do a better job about educating and empowering people to lead a healthy sex life.

This means teaching safe sex instead of only abstinence. It means not shunning the questions children have about their bodies and others.

And the concept that a woman who has multiple sex partners deems her a slut, and therefore less worthy, needs to end.

The story of Monica Jones continues to reaffirm my stance: do not help – serve.

Serve only when needed and how you’re needed.

One good example of serving is the Magdalene program through Thistle Farms in Nashville, Tenn.

This program allows sex workers free housing, food, medical and dental needs for two years.

The women are not forced into the program and are encouraged to build community with one another.

This is different from Project ROSE, which forces women to accept humiliation to avoid the criminal system.

Please note, this article does not address cases of human trafficking, but it is merely shedding light on the gross dehumanization of sex workers. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

tion would lead to the disruption of ecosystems. Invading contaminated areas could destroy the homes and food sources of neighboring wildlife, and despite best interests, the damage done will take a long time to restore. The safest way to address the problem is for consumers to stop buying products that contain the hazardous beads.

After receiving petitions from concerned consumers, Unilever, The Body Shop and Johnson & Johnson have discontinued their usage of microbeads by 2015 while Proctor & Gamble will phase out microbead production by 2017.

However, though some companies are identifying their faults and negative environmental impacts, it does not replace the amount of microscopic plastic already present. In an effort to support companies who utilize natural and

biodegradable products, consumers need to focus on straying from any toothpaste, gels, and face or body washes that contain the eyepleasing beads.

Consumers should opt for products containing sugar, apricot shells, sea salt, sand and other natural sources. Using all natural products not only helps maintain our environment, but is actually more beneficial to bodily health.

A product that contains fewer chemicals will cause less irritation, provide a healing aromatherapy and will allow the skin to begin replacing harmful chemical with the absorption of natural ingredients. Such products also tend to be paraben-free, which is highly recommended as products with paraben can alter the functions of consumers’ endocrine systems. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The sad state of American charity

The Rack, WVU’s food bank offers food to anyone in need.

Today’s news section of The Daily Athenaeum features a story about West Virginia University’s food bank, The Rack, and its participation in the annual Feinstein $1 Million Giveaway to Fight Hunger challenge.

The contest is wellmeant, offering food banks across the country the opportunity to vie for additional funding, but the fact it is a contest at all is a sad reflection of the state of charitable giving in this country.

Harsh economic realities aside, charities shouldn’t have to become competitive with each other in order to continue serving their communities.

If this was truly a “giveaway” as its name suggests, food banks would simply need to fill out a grant application and would be awarded a generous sum from the obviously ample funds of the Feinstein foundation.

According to a survey conducted by the nonprofit organization Com-

wvutoday.com

passion, 32 percent of adults in the U.S. have “less-than-positive feelings towards America’s charitable organizations.”

The same survey discovered only one in 10 Americans strongly agree charitable organizations are honest and ethical in their use of donated funds.

Most of us understand these opinions and attitudes aren’t indicative of noble organizations like The Rack, but when such organizations are forced to participate in a contest for funding, it’s easy to see how they arise.

To fight back, to prove the naysayers wrong and make competitions like this an unnecessary thing of the past, give to organizations like The Rack.

Give often, and give as much as you can.

Charity should occur organically, because it’s our duty to our fellow human beings, not because it’s a certain time of year or part of a contest. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you open up to change and become more realistic than you have been in the past. You often take the lead, which is natural for you, but you become more controlling in guiding others toward a goal. Success stems from your focus and endurance. Learn to gather information before finalizing your decisions. If you are single, you project one attitude yet act in a conflicting manner. These two paradoxical dimensions could pose a problem in a potential relationship. Try to integrate these different ideas.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You handle tension well. Somewhere along the way today, you might decide that you don’t care how some-

one feels about you. You surprise people when you do a reversal, because you are so passionate about nearly everything you do. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH Your instincts could prevent a collision of wills. You see the big picture, whereas others cannot. As a result, you’ll see many solutions to fix the situation. You will change perspective as the day goes on. Be open to having various conversations. Tonight: Break a pattern.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH One-on-one relating takes you down a new path to new possibilities. You might want to change directions after you have a much-needed discussion. You’ll see too many options that could work, and you know that yours is not the only one. Tonight: Togeth-

erness is the theme.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Others often challenge you, and you find these contrary moments revealing, as they help you identify your priorities. You could find someone offensive in how he or she pushes for what he or she wants. A positive attitude will go far. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Pace yourself. Others seem to be obsessive, and you might want to derail the whole matter. Your instincts will help you find out more about what exactly is going on. Someone from a distance could surprise you and lead you down a new path. Tonight: Play it easy.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Your creativity will come out, even with a discouraged or pessimistic

person in your life. This person has a way of getting your imagination going. Your finances could be off-kilter, if you choose not to take charge of them. Tonight: Pretend that it’s Friday night.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH Stay centered and direct in your dealings.

A child or loved one will add some variety to the moment. Be willing to flex and come to a natural conclusion.

You are likely to keep producing more and more, which will impress an associate or higher-up. Tonight: At home.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You could be taken aback by someone’s need to have certain matters go a certain way. You, too, can be quite controlling about outcomes, yet you recognize that you can control only yourself. Have a talk with this

person. Tonight: Make dinner a fun happening.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HH Be aware of your spending habits, as you could find that a partner wants the same ability to buy as you do. This conversation could cause some upset if you are not careful. Understand your limitations. Consider a different approach to your finances. Tonight: Have fun.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HH You’ll beam in whatever you want, but later you will have to deal with the implications of your actions.

A family member could be upset by your choices and where you are heading. A discussion is likely to eliminate at least some of the problem.

Tonight: Not to be found.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH Step

back from a problem rather than add to it. Given some time, the situation will unravel itself. You could be surprised by someone’s efforts to reach out to you.

Understand that this person means well. Listen to your instincts. Tonight: Take a break from everything.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH You seem to have walked into a situation with a lot of power plays, and you might be wondering why. Know what is happening beyond the obvious. If you attempt to enlighten others, they might be resentful. Find out what is happening with a child. Tonight: Do what you want.

Wayne ‘The Train’ Hancock rocks 123 by josh ewers a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

There was country cookin’ on the menu Saturday night at 123 Pleasant Street in Morgantown.

Local Morgantown boys Haggard Wulf kicked things off for alternative country champion, Wayne “The Train” Hancock.

Whenever a band of any kind of country makes their way to the venue the crowd does undergo a noticeable change in appearance. However, the energy is usually just as infectious no matter who is filling the floor.

It was clear from the start Morgantown’s youth just doesn’t have that much of an interest in music that isn’t fueled by electric and fuzz these days as the majority of the crowd was a bit more mature than that of an average night.

All it meant in the end was the patrons were much

Haggard Wulf is a rare two-piece outfit. They consist only of a drummer who

stands behind a small, no frills kit while also taking care of lead vocal duties and a black bandanamasked guitarist.

The instrumentation made for a unique aes-

thetic. Nonstop twangy chord strumming ran together and blended notes well, while the minimalistic yet snappy drumming cut out everything that didn’t expressly push the songs

forward.

The whole thing gave off a decided vibe of being in a desert out West.

Mid-to-low end range vocals strained in all the right places as lyrics told tale of deals with the devil, bath salts and possibly the best guitar-based song about large posteriors since Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.”

After Haggard Wulf wrapped up their set, Wayne “The Train” Hancock stole the show in spectacular fashion. Seemingly endlessly armed with quip after hilarious quip, Hancock quickly proved he was a true showman.

There’s also the fact he’s been writing music since he was 12 years old. Together, the band looked every bit the part of masters of bonafide, nonpop-centric, classic country. Hancock, with his acoustic guitar, was joined by a lead guitarist with his hair slicked back and an old wily gen-

tleman playing an upright bass.

For this group that so righteously combines western swing, honky-tonk and the blues, Hancock’s voice is undoubtedly the signature instrument.

His heavily accented twang and pleasantly nasal tone makes one feel as though they’ve returned to a time when country was king, and its songs weren’t solely about how that particular girl looks in blue jeans and how cold one’s beer is.

However, it’s wasn’t all the Wayne show.

The band chugged along with such a steady enthusiasm it might have been them who earned the nickname “The Train.” Beautiful swinging plucked rockabilly melodies often emanated from the lead player, nicely contrasting with the feel-good simplicity of the arrangements. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

The Foxhunt, Tyler McGrady share acoustic music Tiffany Benson A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Erin Irwin/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The Foxhunt performs country and folk music to a sold out crowd at 123 Pleasant Street Friday night.

Country, string and grunge music filled 123 Pleasant Street Friday night with performances from Goodwolf, a solo group by Tyler Grady who is a member of Sleepwalker, and Dog & Gun, which is a countryfolk West Virginia-based group.

The enormous crowd and foot-tapping music wasn’t different from any other night at 123.

“I’ve only been to 123 a couple of times and every time has been great,” said Sara Michael, a senior biology student. “My friend is a fan of the main act (The Fox Hunt) and asked me to come tonight. The crowd was great. It was so packed in there.”

Goodwolf is a new band that just released its solo album “Shitty Kids” in June 2013 at 123. Grady played “Help”, “Slow

Hand” and his most featured “Last Year.”

The crowd was getting hyped as they played their first song, and it gave an easygoing, yet rocking sense at the same time.

“Last Year” described someone just trying to have a good time before the next week started.

Dog & Gun have recently played at The Icehouse in Elkins, The Purple Fiddle in Thomas, Whitegrass in Canaan Valley and other places across the state.

Their music could easily be described as Appalachian bluegrass. The violin started with smooth sounds that made you think you were watching an episode of “Dukes of Hazzard.” As the rest of the strings harmonized in, you were taken to another time and place. The crowd nodded along as eclectic and joyous country music filled the room.

“Goodwolf was fun,” Michael said. “It’s not my style of music. But everyone enjoyed it, and it was

something different. Dog & Gun was awesome. I was impressed.”

The main act of the night was another West Virginia original band, Fox Hunt.

They are a string band that plays country music. Known for their traditional fiddle parts, Foxhunt wowed the crowd Friday. The group came out onto the stage and gathered around a single microphone and began to play.

Even though folk music has been around since the Bog Trotters Band days, they still have something unique about the way they present their music.

“I grew up in West Virginia and am a huge fan of country music,” Michael said. “I love being able to come downtown and still hear live music that isn’t just the rap music that they play in the clubs. They’re a really talented group, and I’d love to see them again sometime.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia gets past Albany 76-61 in NCAA tournament opener, await 7-seed LSU Tuesday night by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

A strong opening half by the No. 7 West Virginia Women’s basketball team clinched a 76-61 victory over Albany in the opening round of the 2014 women’s NCAA tournament. With the win, the Mountaineers advance to the second round of the Louisville region and will take on the 7-seed LSU Tigers. West Virginia has never won a second-

round game in the NCAA tournament.

With just under seven minutes left in the first half, senior guard Christal Caldwell capped off a 16-2 run by sinking a 3-pointer to put her team up, 33-11.

Caldwell finished her night with a career-high 25 points.

The run was spurred when center Megan Craig was forced to sit on the bench after committing two quick fouls.

Despite trailing by 17 at the half, the Lady Danes

came out strong in the opening minutes of the second half. After only committing two turnovers in the first half, the Mountaineers turned the ball over 13 times in the closing half, which caused head coach Mike Carey to be critical of his team’s effort in the final minutes.

“We got a big lead and quit playing. We quit attacking and started to foul,” Carey said. “We had some players (who) didn’t hit shots, and they just stopped playing. If we come out and play like

that against LSU, we will get beat. We had some seniors out there making freshmen mistakes.”

A jump shot from Shereesha Richards pulled the Lady Danes within five at 56-51 with seven minutes to go, but the Mountaineers responded by scoring the next four straight points securing a spot in the second round.

Sophomore guard Bria Holmes played an inspired second half and finished her night with 20 points. Holmes has now scored 20 or more

points in three straight games.

This was senior center Asya Bussie’s first tournament action since the 201112 season. Bussie only scored three points in 28 minutes, but she did record 12 rebounds and three blocks.

West Virginia was able to contain Richards, who was the America East Player of the Year, by causing her to foul out with four minutes left to play. She finished her night with only nine points.

West Virginia will face

the host team LSU on Tuesday. The Lady Tigers are a fast team who like to run the floor and will test the Mountaineers transition defense.

“They like to get out early and run the floor, and they do a lot in transition,” Caldwell said. “We know everyone is going to give us their best shot, and we have to learn to fight the entire game.”

Tuesday’s game will air live on ESPN at 9:30 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Bradley ready to lead West Virginia defensive line by greg madia multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

After 33 years of pacing the sideline in Happy Valley and two years working in radio, Tom Bradley has found a new home in Morgantown serving as senior associate head coach under Dana Holgorsen.

Bradley did just about everything in his coaching career while at Penn State. He coached running backs, receivers, cornerbacks, safeties and linebackers. In addition to the senior associate head coach title, he is coaching the WVU defensive line.

“I missed coaching, but it was a good experience with what I got to do. I did the stuff for CBS and Clear Channel. I got to cover the Steelers. I got to see a lot of football,” Bradley said. “From that standpoint, it was great. I enjoyed the people I worked with, but you miss being around the game and all the things that go on.”

It took Bradley time to agree to come to Morgantown.

Holgorsen spearheaded the movement to bring the longtime Joe Paterno assistant to the program. He even had Athletic Director Oliver Luck and defensive coordinator Tony Gibson get involved with luring Bradley down I-79 from his radio job in Pittsburgh.

“Even after Tony (Gibson) said we had all back end guys.

I told him I’d coach the linebackers because I did it at Penn State for 10 years. He said we need someone (who) knows the defensive line,”

Bradley said. “Then he pulled a fast one on me. He asked (Didn’t you coach defensive line one year?) Then I just said ‘OK, I’ll do it.’”

Bradley is trying to get familiar with his new surroundings and his new players. He eats lunch or dinner with his defensive line to get to know them a little bit more as people.

On the field, Bradley is finding out the abilities of Kyle Rose, Christian Brown, Dontrill Hyman and the rest of the defensive line. He told them he didn’t watch film of them, because he wanted to start them all off with a clean slate.

“I told them that I didn’t, but I did a little bit. I just didn’t want to have a preconceived notion. I didn’t talk to a whole lot of people about those guys because I didn’t want everybody’s opinion on them,” Bradley said. “I just wanted to make my own opinion and give everyone a fair start. I looked at some of the bigger games to see, but I tried not to judge them.”

Bradley has coached great talent in the past. As a coordinator and linebackers coach, he has put players in the NFL like Sean Lee, Paul Posluszny, Devon Still and Lavar Arrington.

He also was part of staffs that coached top-10 defenses at Penn State.

West Virginia is coming off a 4-8 season, which puts Bradley in an easier position to get his defensive linemen to do what he wants them to do.

“It’s easier to sell fundamentals. It makes it easier to

sell all the little things you’re trying to sell because they want to be coached. They want to learn. They’re excited to get better,” Bradley said.

Through the first six spring practices, the focus has been on basic technique and installation of Gibson’s scheme.

Gibson has vast experience coaching in the 3-3-5 and 3-4 schemes, while Bradley has knowledge of the 4-3 and 3-4 schemes.

West Virginia is blending everything together in order to create a multiple defense.

“It can be a four-front, three-front or even a fivefront. It can be whatever you want it to be. That’s the beauty of the system,” Bradley said.

“One of the things that will make our scheme successful is if the players can learn all of the different techniques they have to learn. This is a different system in a lot of ways.”

While Bradley was at Penn State, he worked with great schematic minds, but as he said, it wasn’t the reason for all of the success in State College.

“It’s not the X’s and the O’s, it’s the Jimmys and the Joes.

We had good players and people (who) bought into our system, we had good guys coaching them, (and) we had a thing going there where the players believed,” Bradley said.

His task through the end of the spring is to get a group of West Virginia players who had three defensive line coaches in four years and four coordinators in four years to believe in the system he and Gibson are teaching now.

West Virginia will practice Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 1 p.m. at Milan Puskar Stadium. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU ends season at NCAA Championships by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Five members of the West Virginia University wrestling team traveled to the NCAA Division 1 Wrestling Championships in Oklahoma City.

Their run came to an end Friday after senior Colin Johnston and sophomore A.J. Vizcarrondo were knocked out of the second round consolation brackets.

In an interview with WVUSports.com, WVU head coach Craig Turnbull said he’s thankful for the experience the underclassmen gained from going to nationals.

“We took five to nationals, and only one was a senior.

The underclassmen will take a great amount of value out of this experience,” he said.

“I really felt that Colin (Johnston) and Mike (Morales) had excellent opportunities to stand on the podium, but it is a game of inches. We had opportu-

nities for takedowns that were right there, but we just couldn’t finish. We really wanted to come away with someone on the podium, but the good thing is we bring four people back that now have this experience.”

This was Johnston’s first appearance in the national tournament. Turnbull said the break he took for the last two years were a hindrance.

“Colin’s two years out of competition just took too much of a competitive edge out of him,” he said.

“He closed the gap, but he needed that extra poise in those close matches. He gave it a good shot to overcome two shoulder surgeries.”

Johnston ended his run in the tournament against No. 7 Zach Horan from Central Michigan, when he lost to him in a 3-2 decision.

In the first period, Horan took Johnston down with less than a minute remaining. Johnston came back to tie the score in the second period with an escape,

and Horan returned the favor in the third period taking the lead. Near the end of the third, Johnston tried to regain control to score again but wasn’t able to pull it off.

Johnston finished his career as a Mountaineer with 65 total wins and his 28 wins this season tied him for third place in the record books for wins in a single season by a 141-pounder. He was the first WVU wrestler to be honored as a Big 12 Wrestler of the Week and was the only wrestler to go into the Big 12 Championships as a No. 1 seed.

Heavyweight Vizacarrondo finished his time at the tournament against No. 6 seed Michael McMullan of Northwestern. Vizcarrondo was down 2-0 in the beginning of the second period and forfeited an escape to McMullan, putting him down 3-0. In the third McMullan held him unable to escape and took the decision, 4-0.

Vizcarrondo wrapped up

this season with 20 wins, only one win away from getting into the top five in program history for single-season wins by a heavyweight.

He was the third wrestler from WVU to be named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week and he placed second at the Big 12 Championships, which is the best placement in program history at that event.

Freshman Cory Stainbrook, sophomore Bubba Scheffel and junior Mike Morales all competed in the NCAA Championships, as well. Stainbrook and Scheffel dropped their matches in the first and second sessions. Morales continued on in the second session consolation rounds and beat Kevin Birmingham of Davidson for his first career victory of the NCAA Championships. Morales lost in his third bout of the day to Tywan Claxton of Ohio, who he had previously beat but was unable to do so again, losing 4-2. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

gymnastics

WVU finishes third at Big 12 Championships by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University gymnastics team finished third at the Big 12 championship Saturday in the WVU Coliseum.

The Mountaineers (6-11, 0-2 Big 12) turned in a season-best score of 196.375 in the first ever Big 12 Conference sponsored event at WVU. No. 3 Oklahoma claimed its third straight conference title with a 198 score, both a conference championship and Coliseum record. Iowa State finished second with a score of 196.65.

“I thought this was a great performance for the team. It was exactly what I’ve been looking for all year long,” said WVU head coach Jason

Butts in an interview with WVUsports.com. “This team has fought all season, so I’m happy to see them earn their season-best mark at the Big 12 championship in front of a great, loud home crowd.”

Senior Hope Sloanhoffer secured the Big 12 allaround title with a score of 39.425. Junior Dayah Haley finished third in her first-ever all-around performance with a score of 39.125.

“I think today’s title puts a big exclamation point on Hope’s (Sloanhoffer) WVU career and solidifies her spot in the program’s history,” Butts said. “She will go down as WVU’s first Big 12 champion, and that’s great.

To have Hope win today’s title outright makes this a successful championship.

I don’t think she was even

aware that she could win today’s title, so this is special.

She really deserves the individual acknowledgement.”

Junior Beth Deal turned in another stellar performance on the beam routine, tying for second with a score of 9.9.

Sloanhoffer, Haley and Deal all were named to the All-Big 12 championship team with their podium finishes.

The Mountaineers started the meet on vault, scoring a 49.075. Sophomore Jaida Lawrence tied for sixth with a 9.875, while Sloanhoffer and freshman Nicolette Swoboda tied for 10th with scores of 9.825.

Freshman Alexa Goldberg anchored the bars routine for the Mountaineers, scoring 9.9 and finishing tied for fourth. Sloanhoffer

and senior Erica Smith tied for 10th place with scores of 9.825.

WVU closed out the competition with a season-best score of 49.05 on the floor routine. Sloanhoffer finished third with a score of 9.9, while Haley finished tied for seventh with a career-best score of 9.85.

The Mountaineers will now wait for the NCAA to announce regional championship bids today at 3 p.m.

“I hate that it’s a waiting game, but we’ll have to see how scores shake out across the country,” Butts said. “If this is the end of the road for the team, we will have individuals qualify for the regional championships, so the season does not end today.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

women’s tennis

Mountaineers fall to Baylor, Texas by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University women’s tennis team fell to No. 14 Baylor Friday, 7-0.

Then, the Mountaineers were defeated by No. 21 Texas, 7-0, Sunday.

Head coach Miha Lisac said in an interview with WVUsports.com he was optimistic going into these two matches against ranked opponents, though he did not get the outcomes he would have liked for his squad, as they could not tally a single team point all weekend.

“Baylor and Texas have been the top two teams in the conference,” Lisac said. “We look forward to building upon last weekend and challenging ourselves at the top level.”

The Mountaineers (3-12, 0-4 Big 12) could not get on the board against the Bears as the No. 1 doubles team, as the freshmen tandem of Oana Manole and Kaja Mrgole were unable to find the success they both had early on this season, losing to the Bears’ Ema Burgic and Kiah Generette, 8-4.

After missing a month of play, sophomore Hailey Barrett returned last week to earn a doubles victory but could

not do the same this weekend. She and junior Ikttesh Chahal, at the No. 2 doubles spot, fell to Alec Leatu and Jordaan Sanford, 8-4.

The duo of sophomores Vivian Tsui and Irinka Toidze stumbled to Alex Clay and Makenzie Craft, 8-3, in the No. 3 doubles.

In singles, Manole dropped her second straight match in conference play, losing to Sanford, 6-0, 6-0.

Mrgole fell in straight sets to Ema Burgic, 6-0, 6-0.

UT dominated WVU all day Sunday as no Mountaineer came away with a victory.

In the No. 1 doubles spot, Mrgole and Manole could not find success, dropping their match against Breaunna Addison and Elizabeth Begley, 8-4.

Barrett and Chahal fell for the second straight match, losing to the Longhorns’ Ratnika Batra and Neda Koprcina in the No. 2 doubles spot, 8-6.

In singles play, WVU was defeated in straight sets in every match. In the No.1 singles, Barrett was defeated by the Horns’ No. 18 Addison, 6-2, 6-0. Tsui lost to Pippa Horn, 6-0, 6-1, in the No. 5 singles match. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU records five first-place finishes at Cal U Invitational by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University track team opened its outdoor season at the Cal U Early Bid Invitational Saturday with five first-place finishes.

“This was a nice little early season meet for us,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “It’s nice for us to have one under our belt before we head south next weekend.”

On the field, junior Karissa Knabenshue claimed five first-place finishes on the

day. In the shot put, Knabenshue placed first with a toss of 12.09 meters. In the discus throw, her mark of 38.27 meters claimed fourth.

On the track, freshman Bria Welker placed first in the 400 meters while sophomore Alyssa Scherich claimed first in the 400-meter hurdles

with a time of 1:05.37. In the 800-meter race, freshman Sydney Scott placed first and posted a personal-best time of 2:22.46.

The 4x400 meter-relay team of Christa D’Egidio, Arielle Gaither, Scherich, and Welker took first place with a time of 4:02.10.

“We will introduce a few more girls each week to the travel party, as we prepare ourselves for the heart of the season,” Cleary said.

Next weekend the Mountaineers will travel to Raleigh, N.C., for the Raleigh Relays. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU loses series to UNC Wilmington over weekend by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia baseball team dropped two of three games at UNC Wilmington this past weekend.

The Mountaineers and Seahawks endured in a Sunday afternoon slugfest with UNCW prevailing, 13-10.

WVU wasted no time getting on the scoreboard, as the Mountaineers put up a three-spot in the top of the first inning. West Virginia pounded five hits in the inning, including four consecutive through the middle of the order.

The Mountaineers sent senior Zach Bargeron to the mound for his second start of the sea-

son, filling in for usual starter John Means who pitched Wednesday night.

Bargeron lasted just 1.2 innings as he gave up six runs on five hits.

Bargeron gave up a run in the first but didn’t get into any real trouble until the second inning. The Seahawks scored six runs to take a 7-3 lead after Corey Dick and Luke Dunlap each knocked in a pair of runs. UNCW would extend the lead to 9-3 after three innings.

West Virginia answered back, however, scoring five of its own in the fifth inning to cut the UNC Wilimington lead to 9-8. The highlight of the rally came when outfielder Shaun Wood drilled a three-run

homer for his third of the season.

Second baseman Billy Fleming and shortstop Taylor Munden combined to go 7-for-9 in the loss.

Saturday’s contest was the Mountaineers’ lone victory in the series. WVU defeated UNCW, 9-3. West Virginia scored eight runs in the first two innings including batting around in a six-run second inning.

Junior Sean Carley got his fourth win of the season as he tossed six innings of three-run ball and gave up nine hits on three strikeouts. UNCW’s Jordan Ramsey took the loss.

“We’ve got pitchers that are going to keep us in every game,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “If we

can figure out how to keep the offense clicking, then we’ve got a chance to have a good year.”

Mountaineer ace Harrison Musgrave did just that Friday and was again phenomenal in the series opener. The junior threw 9 innings and gave up just a single run and struck out seven. The effort wasn’t enough, though, as WVU fell in extra innings, 2-1.

Musgrave threw 113 pitches in the no-decision, surrendering his only run in the first inning when the Seahawks strung three consecutive hits together to get on the board.

Down 1-0, Munden drove in the game-tying run in the eighth inning in a game that was ultimately

decided in 10 innings. UNCW’s Casey Golden drove in the winner run on a walk-off infield hit. Pascal Paul took the loss for the Mountaineers.

Despite West Virginia recording 30 hits on the weekend, it’s just the second time this season the team has dropped two of three in a weekend series.

WVU will return home to open the doors of Hawley Field one final time Tuesday against Pitt. West Virginia now sits at 12-8 on the season while UNC Wilmington improved to 11-11.

First pitch of the “Backyard Brawl” Tuesday is set for 3 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Danielle Ballard scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, and LSU led wire-to-wire in a 98-78 victory over Georgia Tech on Sunday in the first round of the NCAA women’s tournament.

Theresa Plaisance added 21 points and DaShawn Harden 17 for the Lady Tigers (20-12), who picked an opportune time to set a school record for most points in a tournament game and reach their highest point total of the season.

Seeded seventh in the Louisville region, the Lady Tigers had the benefit of opening on their home court, where they are now 17-3 all-time in the NCAA tournament. LSU led by as much as 20 in the second half en route to winning its 16th straight firstround game, dating back to 1997. The Lady Tigers also improved to 9-0 all-time in first-round games played on their home court.

LSU next plays Tuesday night, again at home, against the winner of Sunday afternoon’s game between second-seeded West Virginia and 15th-seeded Albany.

Sydney Wallace and Tyaunna Marshall each scored 20 for 10th-seeded Georgia Tech (20-12), but 6-foot-5 Nariah Taylor, who had 11 points, was limited by foul trouble, and LSU outrebounded Tech 57-30.

Shanece Mc K i n e y scored 14 points for LSU and Jeanne Kenney had 11 points.

Kaela Davis had 16 points for Georgia Tech.

LSU broke the game open in the second half with a 17-5 run that opened with Harden’s 3. Plaisance had eight points during the surge, including an alley-oop layup on a no-look, one-handed

lob from Kenney.

Harden capped the run on a breakaway layup after she stole the ball from Aaliyah Whiteside near midcourt, making it 83-63 with 7:40 left.

Tech never got closer than 14 after that.

Kenney hit a 3 from the corner on LSU’s first possession and the Lady Tigers raced to a quick double-digit lead. Ballard added a jumper and a three-point play on an end-to-end layup, and McKiney’s layup made it 12-2.

Tech hit only one of its first eight shots and compounded its early scoring problems with two turnovers. But the Yellow Jackets later scored on three straight possessions, including a 3 and layup by Wallace, to pull to 13-9.

Harden scored eight points in less than two minutes, hitting two 3s and a layup, to help LSU widen its lead again, but 13 firsthalf points by Davis and 12

by Wallace and 11 by Marshall kept the Yellow Jackets close.

Tech was back within 4240 on Marshall’s putback as she was fouled, but LSU’s dominant rebounding allowed it to remain in front.

The Lady Tigers had 14 offensive rebounds in the first 20 minutes, and three of those rebounds came on a possession in which McKiney sank a putback as she was fouled. Ballard later added a short jumper, giving her 19 points and LSU a 51-44 halftime lead.

Howard deserves starting spot

With a little over five months until West Virginia kicks off its 2014 season against the Alabama Crimson Tide, head coach Dana Holgorsen is facing a dilemma.

Tasked with picking up the pieces after the Mountaineers’ first losing season since 2001, Holgorsen must make a decision that could have a big impact on his future as head coach at West Virginia.

Much like it was heading into last season, the race for the starting quarterback position is up for grabs.

Though the names have changed – Riverside City College transfer Skyler Howard replaced Ford Childress – the competition is just as wide open.

With Clint Trickett sidelined during spring practice to recover from offseason shoulder surgery, the two main players in the race at this time are Howard and senior Paul Millard.

While West Virginia had plenty of weaknesses in 2013, the play of the Mountaineer quarterbacks was one of the most glaring.

Trickett, Millard and Childress were used interchangeably, and as a result of the overhaul at one of the most important positions on the field, the West Virginia offense looked out of sync all season.

Holgorsen knows what he is getting from Trickett and Millard. Both showed flashes of competence at times, but by and large, the two signal callers were erratic at best.

Although he lacks experience in the Big 12 Conference, Howard should get the starting nod to kick off the season.

Known as a dual-threat while at Riverside, Howard could bring something to the table Trickett and Millard can’t offer.

While at Riverside in 2013, Howard completed 67.4 percent of his passes, threw for 3,151 yards, 33 touchdowns and just six picks. He was the team’s fourth-leading rusher with 343 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.

In a league like the Big 12, where teams live and die by launching the ball all over the field, having a subpar quarterback group can kill a team’s chances.

Howard, along with fourstar recruit William Crest, have the potential to restore West Virginia’s reputation of a constantly threatening “Air Raid” offense.

Because Crest won’t be able to practice with the team until he enrolls during the summer, Howard has a leg up on the competition.

While there are sure to be some growing pains, as one would expect with any quarterback in his first year in a new system, Howard’s athleticism and playmaking potential make him the best option West Virginia has at this time.

In a year that will be crucial for Holgorsen’s future, he may have some reservations in placing his faith in a first-year player. Considering what his other options are, however, the choice should be clear. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu
