W.Va. population expected to decline by jacob bojesson staff writer @dailyathenaeum

For the first time in decades, West Virginia is likely to face a declining population in coming years which may result in a tougher business climate. The West Virginia University Bureau of Business and Economic Research recently released a report on the economic outlook in West Virginia. Using data on age dis-

tribution and current birth and death rates, researchers found that West Virginia is one of many states in the country that can expect to see the population size drop starting in as little as two years. The report suggests that the state will lose close to 20,000 residents, slightly over 1 percent, by 2030. “What we found for the most part is consistent with what’s been happening already in recent years,” said John Deskins, the BBER di-

rector and co-author of the study. “The population actually did grow at a fairly healthy rate in the 2000s, but it has slowed down in the last couple of years, and we’re expecting it to be very slow in the next couple of years and start declining at a faster rate in 2020.” Overall, statistics of West Virginia’s population have shown dramatic shifts in the size of the population during the 20th century. One of the factors is

the migration rate, which is strongly correlated to the job market. Losing 1 percent of the population over a 20-year span may not seem like a catastrophe, but according to the authors of the report, it will have an impact on the economy of the state. “Businesses will have difficulties finding a work force to replace the retirees if there are not many workers available,” said Unk Christiadi, a BBER research associate and co-

‘It’s alright

by me’

author of the study. “They will have to try to become more efficient and replace workers with more capital and try to increase productivity.” The major reason for the downward trend is the natural population growth rate – births minus deaths – rather than the migration rate. As the baby boomer generation is entering retirement, the number of people over age 65 will grow to 22.9 percent by 2030

Students and faculty of West Virginia University gathered for an open forum about love and intimacy Thursday night. Rules of Engagement: A Panel Discussion on College Campus Relationships took place in the Mountainlair ballrooms. A live Twitter conversation accompanied the forum using hashtag #WVUrealtalk which trended nationally during the hour-and-a-half open discussion. The panel for the event was made up of various members of the WVU faculty and Morgantown community. Cathy Yura, the assistant vice president of Student Health and Wellness,

“women should avoid dressing like sluts” as a precaution against unwanted sexual attention. “Rape doesn’t happen because of the clothes that you’re wearing,” said Isabelle Shepherd, Slutwalk WV lead organizer and a senior political science student at West Virginia University. “Rape happens because the rapist is raping. It has nothing to do with the victim.” The idea of the movement is to reclaim the word “slut” and promote personal safety. Organizers of this year’s event aim to address issues of intersectionality regarding the reclaiming of the word “slut,” and an objective of the event is to consider changing the name of the movement in Morgantown in order to make it more inclusive. “The message behind the Slutwalk WV is liberating and empowering,” Shepherd said. “Yes, it deals with a very serious

Slutwalk WV aims to end victim-blaming, promotes personal safety The second annual Slutwalk WV will begin in front of the Monongalia County Courthouse at 9:30 tonight. The march against victim blaming will move up High Street and will conclude at the Mountainlair Green, where keynote speakers Ruth Kershner, Brian Jara, Ryan Claycomb and Marjorie Fuller will discuss the origin of SlutWalk, victim-blaming and sexual violence, among other sexual issues. Slutwalk began April 3, 2011, in Toronto to protest victim-blaming and excusing the crime of rape by citing any aspect of a woman’s appearance as an excuse and evolved as a protest against the perspective that women should avoid dressing like sluts to remain safe. The initial rallies began after Constable Michael Sanguinette, a Toronto police officer, publicly suggested that

has worked as a counselor for many years and opened the panel discussion. She, as well as other panel members, responded to the question of what they believe to be the biggest problem with intimate college relationships. Yura said she was astounded by the turnout and openness of the forum. “I have been doing college counseling for years, and I have never come to a function like this before,” Yura said. “Relationships are on everyone’s mind, especially intimacy. You come to college and you are trying to figure out yourself, who you are and how that fits in what you want with life. I think that is what makes it so hard.”

5 charged in kidnapping of NC prosecutor’s father WAKE FOREST, N.C. (AP) — A North Carolina man whose daughter prosecutes violent crimes was rescued by an elite FBI team after he was kidnapped and terrorized for five days in what authorities described as an act of retaliation involving the Bloods street gang. Five people were arrested following a late night raid by the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team on an Atlanta apartment. During the abduction, the kidnappers took a picture of Frank Arthur Janssen tied up in a chair and sent it to his wife, threatening to torture and dismember him if she went to police, according to court documents. John Strong, the FBI’s agent in charge for North Carolina, said the kidnapping was related to Janssen’s daughter’s prosecution of Kelvin Melton, who is serving a life sentence for ordering the shooting of a man in 2011. Melton, 49, was convicted of being a habitual felon, and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. According to the criminal complaint, Melton had a mobile phone in his prison cell and was in constant contact with the alleged kidnappers. Authorities closed in on the suspects by tracking their

cellphones and listening to their calls. Court documents said a woman knocked on Janssen’s door Saturday at his Wake Forest home in a quiet, upscale, golf course subdivision. Several people assaulted him and someone used a stun gun. He was then driven to Atlanta and his wife, Christie, reported him missing. On Monday, she started receiving a series of text messages from a phone in Georgia. One of the texts said if law enforcement was contacted, “we will send (Mr. Janssen) back to you in 6 boxes and every chance we get we will take someone in your family to Italy and torture them and kill them ... we will do drive by and gun down anybody.” The messages made specific ransom demands for the benefit of Melton, an inmate at Polk Correctional Institution in Butner, N.C., but the details were not spelled out in the court filings and authorities did not answer questions at a news conference. A federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation, told The Associated Press that the kidnap-

ping was an act of retaliation and that the communications of those involved suggested a link to the Bloods. The official had been briefed on the investigation. Court documents from Melton’s 2012 conviction in North Carolina also list his affiliation with the gang. Records show he was prosecuted by Wake County Assistant District Attorney Colleen Janssen. At 12:19 a.m. Wednesday, Janssen’s wife received a text photograph of him tied up along with a message: “Tomorrow we call you again an if you can not tell me where my things are at tomorrow i will start torchering.” At 8:20 p.m., a call was placed between Melton and a phone associated with the kidnappers. The two male callers said: “The first spot we are checking out is close to the house.” “We want to make sure it’s in a secluded area and the ground is soft so we can go 3 feet deep.” “Get a bag, put it over his head, and stuff something in his mouth.” “However you feel like doing it, just do it.” “Make sure to clean the area up. Don’t leave anything. Don’t leave any DNA behind.”

Consent is very clear, and it can only be verbal.” Slutwalk will be held regardless of weather conditions, and if necessary, the event will relocate inside the Mountainlair to minimize the negative effects of the weather.

Continued from page 1 The ideas of self-growth and development were at the center of many issues discussed by the panel, each member indicating college was a time for students to grow and find their own identity. Panel member Eric Murphy, the Monongalia County extension agent for WVU, said he believes college students have a hard time with the idea of intimacy and how it connects with oneself. “I think one of the problems college students have is when we talk about intimacy.

Following the call, authorities tried to enter Melton’s cell and he temporarily barred the door and smashed the phone. Prison records show Melton had been cited with infractions twice in the last year for possessing phones, most recently on Feb. 24. Prison officials are now investigating whether a staff member might have smuggled in

the phone Melton allegedly used to help orchestrate the kidnapping. A few hours after correction officers forced their way into Melton’s cell, authorities located Janssen in Atlanta at the Forest Cove Apartments, a complex of two-story townhomes. Charged with kidnapping were: Jenna Paulin Martin; Tiana Maynard; Jevante

intimacy, we talk about self-love,” Murphy said. “When you are a college student, you are trying to figure out what it is you love about yourself.” Another point made during the forum was students often learn about relationships from their individual backgrounds. Issues ranged from cultural differences, such as arranged marriages to LGBTQ issues. Ruth Kershner, a professor with the WVU School of Public Health and panel member, said where you come from creates the framework for future relationships. “All of us grow up with different attachment styles, some of them are healthy and some of them are not so healthy,” Kershner said. “Sometimes we don’t realize what we are looking for comes from who we were.” She also talked about

the instinctual fear people have of being alone. This fear, Kershner said, can lead us down destructive paths. “Sometimes we want to be in a relationship no matter what. We hang on to relationships that just don’t work,” Kershner said. “We don’t want to be by ourselves. People just hang on so long to something broken until they find something else.” No topic involving love, intimacy, fidelity or expectations were off limits. Many students from the audience participated with both students asking the panel questions and the panel asking questions for the students to answer. Other panel members included Alfred Kasprowicz, director of the Carruth Center for Counseling and Psychological Services, and Officer Troy Ball of the Morgantown Police Department.

“I think we need to have conversations in a large group setting like this,” said Jason Ottley, moderator and coordinator for the panel. “ Re lat i o n s h i p s a re a global language we all need to be loved and we all need to feel love.” Ottley said he was happily surprised by student turnout and participation. “I was certainly overwhelmed. It was a wonderful, well attended event,” he said. “I thought it was a great event for people to learn about others. How everyone is different but also kind of the same in a way,” said Garrett Yurisko, a sophomore television journalism student. “I thought it was good how they made it interactive and got the students involved.”

mark!” started airing commercials on national television in which they urged married couples to have more unprotected sex in order to increase the birth rate. Deskins said he is not advocating desperate measures like that for West Virginia, but policy makers in the state have a task ahead of them to attract people to move to the state in order to change the current

trend. “Migration has swung quite a bit over the last 20 years, so good public policy can make that net migration figure improve, and that’s what we’re depending on,” Deskins said. “The natural population is declining, there is not much we can do about that, at least not in the short run.”

Lawyer: Stabbing suspect like ‘deer in headlights’

Alex Hribal, the suspect in the stabbings at the Franklin Regional High School near Pittsburgh, is taken from a district magistrate after he was arraigned on charges in the attack Wednesday in Export, Pa. Authorities say Hribal has been charged after allegedly stabbing and slashing at least 21 people, mostly students, in the crowded halls of his suburban Pittsburgh high school Wednesday. PITTSBURGH (AP) — The 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing 22 people at his high school was dazed “like a deer in the headlights” hours later and doesn’t fully grasp what he did, his attorney said Thursday as he sketched out the beginnings of a possible mental health defense. Deepening the mystery of what set off the violence, attorney Patrick Thomassey said Alex Hribal had no history of mental illness or troublemaking, didn’t abuse drugs and was no outcast at school, where the lawyer described him as a B or B-plus student. “In a case like this, it’s pretty obvious to me that there must be something inside this young man that nobody knew about,” Thomassey told The Associated Press. The local prosecutor, meanwhile, said Hribal remained an enigma. “We have very little information about him,” Westmoreland County District Attorney John Peck said, “except for the fact that he was a student, his age, and how he was as a student.” Authorities seized the family’s computer as they searched for clues to Wednesday’s rampage at Franklin Regional High, about 15 miles from Pittsburgh. Authorities said Hribal armed himself with two kitchen knives and stabbed 21 students and a security guard before an assistant principal tackled him. The slender, dark-haired boy who looks younger than his years was jailed without bail on four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault. Authorities are prosecuting him as an adult, but Thomassey said he will try to have the case moved to juvenile court. He said he plans to get his client examined by a psychiatrist before a preliminary hearing on April 30. “I think his mental state now is unstable. I’m not sure that he recognizes the enormity, if that’s

the word, of what has occurred,” Thomassey said. “And I think in his own mind he’s trying to figure out what happened here, as we all are trying to figure out what the heck happened here.” The attack seemingly came out of nowhere, the attorney said. “Both parents are good parents. They’re parents who pay attention to their kids, who eat dinner with their kids every day, who understand their kids’ friends, who, you know, care about who they hang out with,” Thomassey said. But a school security consultant said it is often the case that school attacks are perpetrated by kids who officials say weren’t on their radar. “In incident after incident, when you start peeling back the onion, you find there were some indicators, there certainly were some issues. But it takes some time to find,” said Ken Trump, president of National School Safety and Security Services. “Often times, it’s not the kid who’s the class clown or acting out the most, but the kid who’s changed, who’s turned more introverted or withdrawn,” he said. “I think the one consistent theme across all of these is mental health.” Ten boys remained hospitalized, three in critical condition. Police and doctors said one victim, a 17-year-old whose name was not released, had surgery again overnight and was in very critical condition after

suffering a knife thrust that pierced his liver and missed his heart and aorta by fractions of an inch. Another student, Brett Hurt, 16, told of being stabbed in the back. “ W hat wa s g o i ng through my mind?” Hurt said at a hospital news conference. “Will I survive or will I die.” Hurt said he pushed his friend Gracie Evans out of the attacker’s way, and then after he was stabbed, she stayed with him and put pressure on the wound. “Gracie was screaming and asking me if I was all right,” Hurt said. Hurt’s mother, Amanda Leonard, said of Evans: “I’ve hugged her and kissed her. I have told her thank you. There is nothing in the world I can do for that girl that can thank her enough for what she has done.” As for the assailant, Hurt said he hopes that someday “I can forgive him, and everyone else who got hurt can forgive him. First of all, he needs to forgive himself.” A day after the rampage, students pondered what comes next for their school, which could reopen Monday after the blood-spattered floors and walls are cleaned up.

Roberge said that while “people are definitely mad” at Hribal, “more so, people want him to get help.”

Giving back: University dedicates week to grad student appreciation You’re in your last semester. What do you do next? For some, the path is on to the workforce. For others, graduate school is their one goal. Of course, for those who have felt their previous four years were torture, grad school is probably not the answer. But for those who just can’t get enough learning or who want to specialize in a certain area, grad school is a breath of fresh air. The key to a successful experience is to look at a variety of schools. Because graduate programs are focused on a specific path of study, one school might have something another does not. And you also have to factor in location. Do you really want to live in Colorado for three years? Would you jump on the opportunity to be a student at Oxford? And never, ever be afraid of rejection. It can’t hurt to apply to several different schools – except for the ap-

plication fees – and it’s always nice to have options. Especially if one of those options is willing to grant you a tuition waiver or even a graduate assistantship. As far as graduate programs go, West Virginia University has some of the best in the country. Some of the programs students can get a master’s degree in are public administration, secondary education, social work and industrial and labor relations. Students can also come back to WVU for a doctorate in English, mathematics and community design and development. WVU also provides a multitude of resources to graduate students, including scholarships and additional funding, guides to student life on campus and the Center for Black Culture and Research and the Office of International Students and Scholars are around to offer additional resources to students who seek it out. For all that graduate stu-

dents bring to the University – their talents, research abilities and interests – the Office of Graduate Education & Life took this week to give back to the grad students. Various exhibits and talks were happening in the Mountainlair, including an Art Exhibit featuring graduate students’ art from the College of Creative Arts, professional photo shoots, talks about being in graduate school and navigating your future and free cupcakes and T-shirts. If you missed out on any of these events, don’t worry. The Graduate Appreciation Afternoon Cupcake Break will still occur in the Office of Graduate Education & Life hallway with cupcakes, tea sandwiches and WVU Tshirts, as supplies last. Undergraduates beware; they are asking for verification, so be nice and let the underappreciated graduate students have their free food. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Qatar’s World Cup construction workers in peril

euroasianews.com

MARSHALL AMORES COLUMNIST

The pickup truck in front of us inched forward as the cars in the adjacent lane blinded us with lights as they whirred by. We were stuck in that type of annoying traffic where you know the passersby will make it to their destinations faster than you will, while at the same time the other drivers in the opposite lane seemingly encounter no congestion at all. My friend in the front seat of the Subaru sighed in resignation as he muttered something about the cars being the least responsible for his insomnia. The proximity of Sunnyside Commons to

the construction zone of the upcoming University Place in Sunnyside had been the prime factor to his sleepless nights. I gazed out the car window at the construction workers, whose tools sent bright sparks dancing in the air. Apparently, the construction workers hammered away at their task through the night, which, according to my annoyed friend, often kept him up until 4 a.m. The Paradigm Development Group LLC has acquired the five-plus acres on which to build a new residential and retail complex, and it intends to complete its project as soon as possible. All the sounds combined from the construction site were deafening. I could see why my friend

was irked. At least the workers were being safe. They stood out among the foundations with their hard hats and reflective vests. Meanwhile, over 7,500 miles away, the state of Qatar is building potential venues for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup with a death wish. Qatar won the bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup four years ago. Since the initial construction of Qatar’s first five venues began in 2010, the Pravasi Nepali Coordination Committee states that upwards of 400 Nepalese migrant workers have lost their lives erecting these stadiums. The committee has also posited that, given current conditions, approximately 4,000 workers will have died once the jobs are completed.

Working conditions have been reported to be atrocious. Safety regulations are being broken left and right. Over 1,000 workers fell to their deaths at construction sites in 2012. Some do not wear hard hats. Migrant workers are purported to live in suffocatingly crowded establishments that often lack air-conditioning, power and running water. We are seeing the tangible liability of negligence. This makes me think of the construction of the Great Wall of China. It is said that 400,000 people died so that the wall could stand. Of course, the Great Wall of China was built over 2,000 years ago, so working conditions must have improved since then. Now, it will only take 4,000 bodies to raise soccer stadiums from the

earth. This stunning anachronism in safety has generated substantial press, yet construction continues in Qatar. One of the richest countries in the world is acting in an unbecoming manner. Perhaps, with its vast sea of oil and gas, Qatar still cannot afford common sense. As my friend’s Subaru puttered on down the road, I saw the sparks fall and disappear at the feet of the toiling construction workers. In an instant, those flickers of light were gone. I must admit that the flashes were quite beautiful, though short-lived. My mind wandered across the Atlantic Ocean. I thought of all those workers dying over soccer stadiums in Qatar. Is a game really worth

that much loss of life? I believe that soccer, no matter how much joy it brings to the world, simply does not deserve stadiums built by those with the fiscal means to protect human life yet neglect to do so. Qatar has the ability to protect its workers, but it has failed to accomplish the task. Something needs to change before more dancing lights disappear in the dark. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Main Street Morgantown to host annual Chocolate Lovers’ Day by jake jarvis A&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Main Street Morgantown will host its 15th annual Chocolate Lovers’ day Saturday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. It’s simple. Participants can purchase a ticket for only $5, which entitles them to a wristband. When this wristband is presented to local, participating businesses, they give you chocolate. Sound too good to be true? The fun doesn’t stop there. Main Street will give away four tickets to Hershey Park in Hershey, Pa. The winner will be drawn at random from entries that people can earn in multiple ways. According to DowntownMorgantown.com, there are three ways to earn an entry. Attendees can earn entry by collecting at least 90 points from Downtown and

the Wharf District, by visiting Mountain State Brewing Company, Lebanese Bistro and the Visitor’s Center or by visiting Wings Ole, Morgantown Brewing Company and Mountain Peoples Co-Op. So if a person completes all of these tasks, they will be entered three times. Main Street notes that these ways to be entered cannot be mixed and matched. Before you start your chocolate excursion, be sure to register as early as 10:30 a.m. at either the Monongalia Arts Center, Tanner’s Alley or Lebanese Bistro. One of the many businesses participating in the celebration is the Old Stone House Gift Shop, located on Chestnut Street. “On a regular basis we sell chocolate rocks. They are a candy in a bag that we sell that look like rocks, and it is just a real delight that

we offer for little kids,” said Rama Riemenschneider from the Old Stone House Gift Shop. “They taste like M&Ms, and we are giving samples of those away this year.” Some businesses, like The Cupcakerie, are choosing to give 10 percent discounts instead of free chocolate. “It’s always very busy. And I feel like if you’re a chocolate lover, you have to stop in and try our ‘Loco Cocoa,’” said Kara Wilcox from The Cupcakerie. “It’s got dark chocolate with chocolate ganache, chocolate butter cream and chocolate chips.” Regardless of the chocolate you get, the local economy is bolstered by this many people visiting businesses downtown. Riemenschneider said this day is one of the highest sales days for Old Stone House Gift Shop. “This is one of the high-

lights for people to come downtown and experience all of the business,” Riemenschneider said. “Last year we had over 500 people. On a good, sunny year, High Street sees over a thousand.” With that many people roaming the streets and that much chocolate up for grabs, people can maximize their performance in a few different ways. Bring a Tupperware container to put your choc-

olate in. Although it may seem like you can eat all the chocolate in the world, you’ll eventually get sick and tire out. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing. This might seem like the perfect time to wear that cute new sundress, but resist the urge. Instead, dress comfy with old tennis shoes. Saturday is about one thing – getting chocolate. Don’t let your vanity get in the way of your cocoa conquest.

Finally, for those wanting to enjoy their goodies as soon as possible, stop by the Blue Moose Cafe on Walnut Street and try one of their signature coffee drinks. Tickets can be purchased the day of the event at one of the registration locations or online at http:// www.dow ntow nmorgantown.com/events/ chocolatelovers. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

BrewFest fundraiser to benefit Star City Volunteer Fire Department by westley thompson a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

The Star City Volunteer Fire Department will host its biannual fundraiser, BrewFest, at Mylan Park this weekend. This fundraiser started in 2009, and because of the rising popularity, the fire department decided to make it a biannual event.

“Fire departments have to do fundraising, and it also gives us a chance to connect with the community,” said Ryan Gillespie, a firefighter. “We’re going to have over 50 different beers (at this event) coming from distributors like Coors Light and AnheuserBusch, and we also have (beer from) Morgantown Brewing Company and Mountain State Brewing

Company.” BrewFest is not just about drinking, though. The event has a variety of entertainment options for everyone, including live entertainment. “We have a DJ who will be doing karaoke (tonight),” Gillespie said. “All day Saturday we’ll have a DJ, and Saturday night we’ll have a live band.” Games such as corn

hole, a staple seen at many West Virginia University tailgates, will be set up at the fundraiser. There will also be a variety of raffle options to help the department raise money, as well as to allow some lucky participants to walk away with extra cash. A 50/50 standard fundraising fair raffle and instant winner tickets, which act like lotteryscratch-offs,

will award lucky participants up to $100. BrewFest plays to the local area’s tastes and preferences. Gillepsie said the fire department came up with the idea for BrewFest by looking at Morgantown’s population and trying to appeal to collegeaged individuals. “Our department is run mostly by college kids, (so) we put our ideas together

and thought, ‘What attracts us?’ Beer is one thing you can attract college students with,” Gillespie said. The event runs today and Saturday from noon-2 a.m. The proceeds from the event support the fire department, and tickets are $25 for ages 21 and up and $20 for ages under 21 and designated drivers. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Deschanel talks fashion, Prince, ‘New Girl’ WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Zooey Deschanel is almost bubbling over with excitement: Her show “New Girl” is a hit, she just released a pop song with Prince, she’s working on a movie with Bill Murray and Bruce Willis, and now she’s sitting in a Tommy Hilfiger store filled with racks of dresses she helped design. It’s fitting, then, that bubbles are a theme of her new fashion collaboration with Hilfiger, To Tommy From Zooey. A self-described “fabric nerd” known for her bright blue eyes, long bangs and retro-inspired dresses, Deschanel spent two years working with the designer to create a collection of flirty frocks based on her own personal style. “It makes me so happy when people like them. And I love all the dresses,” she beamed. “It’s almost like I got a whole new closet full of clothes!” Wearing a cream-colored dress from the collection, the 34-year-old actress talked with The Associated Press about working with Prince, being true to herself and what the future holds for “New Girl” couple Nick and Jess. fashnberry.com

in your new collection. Will Jess get to wear some on “New Girl”? Deschanel: She’s wearing three of them in the final episode, actually. It was really lucky. Everything took place on a boat, and I said to our costume designer, `Do you think it would be OK to put some of the dresses in the mix?’ ...So we got some press samples and then they all got chosen! They didn’t even know they were my dresses, either! AP: Prince guest-starred on the show, and you have a single out together. Are you two buds now? Deschanel: He’s very mysterious. I couldn’t venture to call him my bud. He’s too, like, aaaaah (she looks skyward in reverence). He is incredibly nice and so generous and just so talented - a really wonderful person and I feel lucky to know him. It’s cool because I make records with (my indie-folk duo) She & Him. We’ve made four records, but we’ve never been a pop band. The Prince thing was almost by accident, because (producers) said we’d like it if Jess goes up and sings with Prince, so I did a vocal for the sound department. They sent AP: There are 16 dresses it to Prince, and the next

day they’d mixed that vocal in... and then they released it! It’s so exciting. AP: As a producer on the show, do you get a say in what happens between Jess and Nick, who coupled up this season? Deschanel: I do to some degree. My production role is more of an on-set role and keeping a lot of stuff going, helping the ship run... So I’ll make suggestions, but I can’t be in the writers’ room because I’m on set all the time. I knew sort of where I wanted it to head and it did. This is obviously a relationship people are really invested in. And when they got us together last year, I knew that they had to break up. But I knew that once we got them together, you need to pay your dues and have them together long enough that for evermore it will be the ghost that haunts these people. I think that makes for a really interesting fourth season and I’m really excited to get into that, because I think now is where it gets interesting. AP: Now you’re working on a film called “Rock the Kasbah.” What can you share about it? Deschanel: It’s a movie with Bill Murray and Bruce Willis that Barry Levinson is directing. It’s about a failing music manager who goes to Afghanistan and discovers a young talent, and she goes onto be on `Afghan Idol,’ which is like `American Idol,’ and I play like a fun character role in the beginning. AP: Between acting and music, plus your website HelloGiggles and now this fashion line, do you ever run out of creative juice? Deschanel: That’s just how I keep going. I really never stop. It’s just if I’m getting tired in one creative outlet, I switch to another. With the website HelloGiggles, I co-founded it three years ago and it’s doing so well. It’s really fun and now I’m really involved in the business side of that. I’ve always had this theory and I stick by it and it kind of just works: If I like it, other people will like it. And it’s totally true!

‘American Buffalo’ brings drama, challenges audience members by westley thompson a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s School of Theatre & Dance’s Laboratory Theatre will present “American Buffalo” beginning tonight at 7:30. “American Buffalo” follows three characters – Don, Teach and Bob – as they try to plan a heist. A few days before the events covered in the play, Don, the owner of a junk shop, sold a rare coin to a customer. Soon, he finds out the coin may be worth much more than what he sold it for. Feeling cheated, he gathers together two

of his friends and plans to steal the coin back, in order to sell it to another collector for a significantly higher price. Teach, Don’s poker buddy, convinces the group to steal the whole coin collection instead. The play then goes on to show these three fools as they plan the caper. “It’s labeled a drama, but it is very funny,” said director Mark Combs. “It has some great comedic elements.” The play was written by playwright David Mamet, a man famous in the theater world for his unique and realistic writing style.

“(With) the way David Mamet writes, there is a lot of demand on the actors to perform a certain way,” Combs said. “(The dialogue) is referred to as Mamet speak. There are very few complete sentences, (and) there are words left out.” Combs said he thought this gives the dialogue a more realistic feel. There is also a lot of profane language in “American Buffalo,” but this vulgarity isn’t added for simple shock value. Mamet wanted to capture the speech of lower class individuals, people who grew up with rough lives and peo-

ple who have always been on their toes. “It gives a level of realism that you won’t find in other plays,” Combs said. “American Buffalo” promises to be engaging for the audience as well. “It leaves a lot to the imagination to the story to the audience. Who’s actually doing what? Who knows what they know?” Combs said. “It really draws the audience in, and that is one of the main reasons I wanted to do this show, because it is so captivating.” Despite being only a three-man show, each character is fully fleshed out as a three-dimensional being.

“These characters are written in such a way that it allows actors to just live in the moment and be alive with each other,” Combs said. This level of fluidity among the three actors is part of what makes “American Buffalo” better than the rest. When the audience feels like they’re watching real people, and not just characters, they will be hooked on the production even more. This play has deeper meaning, too, and while the beauty of the arts is that everything is open to interpretation and every interpretation is right, “American

Buffalo” has a defined main point behind it. “American Buffalo really challenges us to think. Are we really as smart as we think we are, and how much of what we do are we just repeating because we heard it, whether it’s true or not?” Combs said. The play will also be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and twice Sunday – 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. To learn more about the LAB Theatre and their upcoming performances, visit http://theatre.wvu.edu/ current_students/laboratory_theatre. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Symphonic, Concert band present annual performance

Mick Posey/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The WVU Symphonic and Concert bands performed Wednesday at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre.

by cory sanchez A&e writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Symphonic and Concert bands presented a joint concert for a diverse audience at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre Wednesday. “The pitch was very good,” said Kanami Fujimoto, an international exchange student from Japan. “I was very impressed.” Conducted by faculty and students, the program produced an amazing quality of sounds. However, Johnny Leonard, a WVU graduate student and conductor, said this great performance didn’t come about without hard work. “We did about two rehearsals every week since January, and we worked around snow issues and everything,” he said. The Symphonic Band had approximately 50 members, who were mostly music students within the WVU School of Mu-

sic. These students earned their spot on the team by being accepted after an audition. The WVU Concert Band, on the other hand, was made up of University students who are mostly non-music students; this body was an 85-member ensemble. WVU student John Barry said he thought both groups provided a phenomenal experience. “I thought they were both really great and did really well,” Barry said. “It really provided some nostalgia because I played ‘Salvation is Created’ back in high school.” However, there was one piece that almost everyone could agree on – the trumpet piece. “I was really interested by the trumpet,” Fujimoto said. Barry said he agreed with Fujimoto. “‘Portrait of a Trumpet’ was just phenomenal,” he said. The trumpeter behind

the piece was Leonard himself. He said he put in the same amount of time as others on the stage, and he felt good about his execution. “It’s a really fun piece,” Barry said. “It’s got a little bit of everything … It’s got some laid back jazzy stuff and the upbeat show tunes type of thing.” Faculty members Dearl J. Drury, John Hendricks III and Christopher J. Nichter and graduate students Chelsea Corrao and Jason Brown conducted their own pieces, as well. They introduced pieces with performances by the WVU Concert Band and the WVU Symphonic Band that included “Fate of the Gods” by Steven Reineke; selections from “Mary Poppins” arranged by Ted Ricketts; and “Portrait of a Trumpet” by Sammy Nestico. In total, the WVU Concert Band and the Symphonic Band performed nine different songs each. Leonard said the choice for the pieces was a fun and

Tyler, Perry’s new ‘Dream On’ for marathon victims BOSTON (AP) — Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry have recorded a new arrangement of “Dream On” to honor victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. The rockers are accompanied by the Southern California Children’s Chorus in the video of their

signature hit. Aerosmith had performed “Dream On” during the Boston Strong Concert benefit last May. The song is part of the ESPN special “Dream On: Stories from Boston’s Strongest” that will first air Saturday on ABC. Part of the “E:60” news maga-

zine series, the hour-long show will be broadcast again on ESPN on Tuesday, the anniversary of the attacks. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line of the 2013 marathon.

adventurous decision. “‘Cajun Folk Songs’ with the Concert Band was something that I never had the chance to conduct before,” he said. “I thought the melodies were really neat and catchy with a lot of diversity.” As one of the leading performances at the con-

cert, Leonard said he will be moving on. “This is my third and final year here at WVU,” Leonard said. “I’m finishing my dual-degree in trumpet and conducting performance.” The annual performance is presented every year as a joint concert by the Con-

cert Band and the Symphonic Band. However, the Symphonic Band presents a performance every semester. For more information, contact the WVU College of Creative Arts at 304-293-4359. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Darius Rucker plays old favorites

Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Darius Rucker performs Thursday night at the Coliseum

by lacey palmer a&e editor @laceypakmer

As the warm weather rolled in, many West Virginia University students spent Thursday afternoon and evening tailgating in the Coliseum parking lot in flannel and cowboy boots for Darius Rucker’s True Believers tour. Corey Smith, a singersongwriter from Georgia, opened the show. Although his drummer was sick, Smith performed a great acoustic show with two other guitarists.

Smith played a few of his most popular songs, such as “Maybe Next Year,” “21” and “If I Could Do It Again,” as well as a new song, “Party,” which got the audience to join in. Smith is currently working on his ninth album and writes all of his own material. The Eli Young Band came onstage next. The five-piece began with an energetic version of their newest song. Aside from a few older songs the audience sang along to perfectly, such as “Always The Love Songs” and “Guinevere,” the group

got the audience excited with their newest hits, “Got A Little Drunk Last Night” and “Dust.” They also played covers of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tom Petty songs. In between each song, the lead vocalist connected with the audience by telling stories about how each song came about. Before playing “Got A Little Drunk Last Night,” he made sure the audience would remember their performance after tonight. “When you reach for that Advil in the morning, I hope you think of us and smile

when you say, ‘I got a little drunk last night,’” he said. The group closed with their hit, “Crazy Girl,” getting the entire audience on their feet and singing along. As The Eli Young Band wrapped up their set and left the stage, the audience members’ chants of “Darius” echoed through the Coliseum, and Bob Huggins, dressed in his black WVU sweatsuit jacket, moved to the lower section to get a closer view of the former Hootie & The Blowfish star. Finally, Darius took the stage, garnering cheers from

the audience and began with his newest single, “Radio.” After playing hits such as “This,” “Alright” and “Come Back Song,” Darius also played “Time,” “Let Her Cry,” “Only Wanna Be With You” and “Hold My Hand” from his Hootie & The Blowfish days. Before playing “Time,” Darius mentioned his first trip to Morgantown. “We played this song in the middle of campus, and maybe five people stopped by, but we played this song that day,” Darius said. Toward the end of the show, Corey Smith and The

Eli Young Band joined Darius on stage to sing their rendition of “Family Tradition.” Then, to close the show, Darius performed “True Believers,” and came out for an encore to perform “Wagon Wheel” and “Purple Rain.” “Getting to touch all their hands was amazing,” said Kaitlynn Reed, a Clarksburg resident. “It was the best time of my life.” Overall, Darius performed an incredibly passionate show that will not soon be forgotten in Morgantown. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Day of Silence lunch sponsored by WVU Spectrum by jake jarvis a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

WVU Spectrum, the LGBTQ student organization on campus, will host a Silent Lunch today in honor of the National Day of Silence. The Day of Silence started in 2008 at the University of Virginia. It began as a grassroots campaign to try and end the harassment, name-calling and bullying that many LGBTQ students face in schools. Maria Pulzetti founded the event with around 100 other students. Though it may seem things are getting better for LGBTQ students, it’s important to remember the realities they face. In recent years, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) has organized the event, and it continues to be crucial in research involving school climates. According to the 2011 National School Climate survey by GLSEN, 71.3 percent of students hear homophobic remarks like “dyke” or “faggot,” and 63.5 percent of students feel unsafe in school because of their sexual orientation. Some might think that these problems are far away from home in a city more conservative than Mor-

gantown, but in reality, the Monongalia County Board of Education has a nondiscrimination policy that does not protect sexual orientation or gender identity and expression. “The policies and rules and regulations of the Board shall be applied without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, sex, marital status, age, handicapping condition or membership in any employee organization,” the policy reads. Luckily for students at West Virginia University, the nondiscrimination policy includes sexual orientation but does not protect gender identity or expression. This means that transgender students are excluded despite their presence on campus. Spectrum realizes the importance of institutional support for LGBTQ students and their well-being. Pulzetti knew the importance of making a big visual statement to get the student body talking about these issues. “I knew that if we held panel discussions and events like that, the only people who would come would be the people who already were fairly aware,” said Pulzetti in an interview with Oasis magazine. Today Spectrum invites students to help “take over the Lair with Silence.” Stu-

dents who wish to show support for safer schools are encouraged to stop by the Lair between 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. According to the Facebook page, participants are encouraged to wear red, black or white to help make a visual statement and raise awareness. The goal is for students to walk into this public space and notice something is different. They hope this will spark a discussion and break the silence of this important issue. “Sometimes silence can cause your mind to take its own time to wrap around an issue about what can be done to stop it,” said Alexandria Mullins, an officer of Spectrum. “I think it makes you critically think about it on your own, and that alone is powerful.” Spectrum plans on having a booth to help guide others to information about the Day of Silence and feature ways students can get more involved in Spectrum. To find out more information about this event, visit https://www.facebook.com/ events/225203441001629/, or visit the group’s Facebook page, “WVU Spectrum,” for upcoming social events, activism and educational outreach. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Christian Help to sponsor Retro ‘80s 5k by nicole curtin a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

The ’80s Retro Run 5k will come to Morgantown Saturday, offering runners the chance to run through Mylan Park dressed in ’80s-themed outfits to support Christian Help. Jennifer Lee, a Christian Help Board Member, said the three-mile event has been very successful in the past. “It has had great success in cities such as Tampa, Fla., Athens, Ga., and Frederick, Md.,” swhe said. This is the first time the ’80s run has come to Morgantown. A portion of the proceeds collected from the Retro Run will go toward helping Christian Help, a non-profit organization in Morgantown. “If people want to raise money for the char-

ity, that would be great. Checks can be made out to Christian Help Inc., but at this point we really just need runners,” she said. Christian Help provides services to the north-central area of West Virginia. They have programs such as the Free Store, Career Closet, Food Pantry, Emergency Financial Assistance and Jobs for Life offered to the community to help those in need. Christian Help can supply many families, including children, with necessities through these programs, but they need donations to do so. Lee said there will be some entertainment to go along with the ’80s theme. “People are encouraged to wear ’80s-themed clothing, and there will be

’80s music playing,” she said. The ’80s Retro Run will be accepting runners up until the night before the event starts. It is $59 to register, but if you use the code “WVU” while signing up you will receive a $19 discount. If you refer 10 of your friends to the run, you can participate for free - they just have to provide your email address when signing up. Parking is $5 per car, so the event organizers ask that people carpool if possible. Participants can either get their packets the day before or the day of beginning at 7:30 a.m. For more information and to register, visit http://80sretrorun.com/ events/morgantown-wv/. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

SPORTS SPRING INTO ACTION

FRIDAY APRIL 11, 2014

ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @CONNORKMURRAY

Winning isn’t everything for pitchers

Imagine you’re taking a test. You studied all night for it, and you know you’re getting most, if not all of the answers right. When you hand the test in, your professor slaps a big, red “F” on it and hands it back to you. Why did you fail? You knew all of the answers and were sure you were doing well. You leaf through the syllabus and find that in order to get an “A” on the test, the person sitting next to you had to do well on the test, too. The person you normally sit next to didn’t even show up for the test, so you automatically get an “F” whether you deserve it or not. Doesn’t sound too fair, right? It isn’t. When someone is evaluating our individual performance on anything, it is outrageous to think our success or failure could be influenced by something we don’t have any control over. This is the plight of pitchers on all levels of baseball. Baseball has been and always will be a game ruled by statistics. Players’ careers depend on their statistics. Other than earned run average, the win-loss record for starting pitchers has widely been held as the standard of success. For a starting pitcher to earn a win, he must pitch at least five full innings and leave the game with the score tied or with his team in the lead. Here is where the real problem lies. Half of the equation is almost completely out of the pitcher’s hands. He has to rely on his offense to score in order to get the win. In the American League, where the designated hitter position often takes the place of the pitcher in the batting order, how many runs his team scored is totally out of the pitcher’s control. You could conceivably pitch an entire game, give up just one hit and walk away with an “L” next to your name in the box score if your offense fails to pick you up. While that scenario rarely occurs, starting pitchers are let down by their offenses all the time. A bullpen can also cost a starting pitcher a chance at getting a win. The blown save win is one of the quirkiest statistics in all of sports and one of the biggest pieces of evidence in favor of the argument I’m trying to make. Win-loss record is completely irrelevant. Yes, a closer, who has the job of coming in to get the final outs of the game, could be rewarded with a win for not doing his job. Say a closer comes in with two outs in the top of the ninth. The starter made it through 8.2 innings of work and left the game with a runner on first and a two-run lead. The closer could serve up a game-tying home run on the first pitch he throws and get an inning ending out with the second and still be the winning pitcher. That same closer, who surrendered the lead in the top of the inning, would leave as the winning pitcher if his team managed to push across the winning run in the bottom half. When that happens, the starter gets a no-decision. He doesn’t win or lose. So, if you only pay attention to win-loss record, it would

Holgorsen to unveil new look for Mountaineers at Gold-Blue Spring Game Saturday by greg madia multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia football program will hold its annual Gold-Blue Spring Game inside Milan Puskar Stadium Saturday at 1 p.m. After 14 practices, head coach Dana Holgorsen and his team will showcase what they have worked on throughout the spring. “I am impressed with the guys’ energy. They have been excited about practicing, and it seems like they are having a good time and trying to push their teammates to get better,” Holgorsen said. Offensively, Holgorsen and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson will give both Paul Millard and Skyler Howard opportunities to run with the first team. Howard likely will get the first offensive series with the ones and from there rotate between

the first team and second team with Millard. Millard had probably the best single practice of either guy this spring when he threw four touchdowns in an open practice two weeks ago. He and Howard have been continuing to work on releasing the ball quickly since spring practice opened up. “Skyler (Howard) and Paul (Millard) both need to just put the ball in play. Standing back there, they need to have a clock,” Dawson said. “You never want to go backwards. That frustrates me more than anything. Taking a sack when they blitz is one thing, but sitting back there and holding the ball for 10 seconds is another.” Logan Moore will also see reps at the quarterback spot Saturday.

The West Virginia baseball team will return to Morgantown as Hawley Field hosts its first Big 12 series this weekend against No. 18 Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers have stumbled in the past week and a half, losing four consecutive games including being swept at TCU last weekend and an 8-4 loss to Penn State last Tuesday. WVU enters the weekend at 16-12. “We’ve only played one game in Morgantown, and our RPI is in the top 25 right now,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey in the Big 12 Baseball Podcast. “I couldn’t be happier with where we’re at right now, and we’re getting ready to start playing at home.” West Virginia will march its trio of starting pitchers to the mound in the inaugural Big 12 series on-campus. Harrison Musgrave (3-1, 1.96 ERA) will start the series off on the mound tonight while Sean Carley (5-1, 2.92) and John Means (4-1, 1.72) will pitch Saturday and Sunday. “We play with a lot more confidence offensively and defensively when those three guys are pitching,” Mazey said. “They know those guys are going to get us late into a game.” WVU hasn’t had any problems with pitchers in the early innings, but the same cannot be said about who is pitch-

ing late in games. The Mountaineer bullpen has struggled mightily at times this season, including two complete breakdowns in the past two weekends. A cast of West Virginia relievers surrendered four runs in the ninth inning last Friday night in a 4-3 loss to TCU. Two weekends ago, the ‘Pen allowed five ninth-inning runs that forced the game into extras before the Mountaineer victory over Baylor. “We’re still searching for that guy that’s going to step up and finish some games for us,” Mazey said. “We’re a little bit behind, but hopefully in the next week or two, somebody is going to emerge for us.” The Cowboys’ offense is tough from top to bottom with three players all tied for the team led in RBIs. Overall, OSU is hitting .261 as a team and is led by Gage Green who currently hits .327 with a staggering .426 on-base percentage. “If you aren’t careful, there’s a chance you could get swept every weekend,” Mazey said. “If you don’t play well, that really affects the standings. It’s going to be a dog fight every weekend.” West Virginia and Oklahoma State will begin their series tonight at 6 at Hawley Field. Saturday’s first pitch is set for 4 p.m. with the series finale on tap for Sunday at 1 p.m.

ing running backs. Dreamius Smith, Wendell Smallwood, Rushel Shell, Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie have competed intensely for carries. “You mix in four or five guys that can play, that’s a baseline for competition. The more competition you

have, the better it is going to make everybody,” Dawson said. “If we could get more positions crowded like the running back position, we’ll be doing a good job.” At receiver, similar faces in Kevin White, Mario Alford and Daikiel Shorts will run with the ones. Up front,

WVU will go with Adam Pankey, Quinton Spain, Tyler Orlosky, Mark Glowinski and Marquis Lucas from left to right. Defensively, all 14 practices have been dedicated to installing new defensive-

FOOTBALL

Position battles on display Saturday by doug walp sports writer @dougwalp

Following last season’s noticeable regression on offense, fans of West Virginia football can get their first look at some of the new personnel and ongoing position battles on the offensive side of the ball Saturday at the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers’ have new players at wide receiver, running back and quarterback, and all could factor into the team’s depth chart by the time it’s officially announced this fall. “We still have a long way to go,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “I am impressed with the guys’ energy. They have been excited about practicing and it seems like they are having a good time and trying to push their teammates to get better.”

At quarterback, it’s currently a fairly open fourhorse race, with injured incumbent starter Clint Trickett trying to hold off fellow seniors Paul Millard, Logan Moore and JUCO transfer Skyler Howard. Trickett won’t play this weekend since he’s still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, and he probably won’t be able to take any snaps until WVU’s fall camp convenes in August, so fans can expect to get a heavy dose of Howard and Millard, with Moore and redshirt freshman Gregory McPherson possibly getting some work as well in the meantime. “With experience I think we are ready,” said WVU offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson. “There is one key factor – the quarterback has to perform well. We’re going to put someone in there (who) can do it. I’m not saying anything positive or negative about any

of those guys. That’s just the fact of the matter.” West Virginia’s backfield is also fairly steeped in competition as the Mountaineers head into this weekend’s Spring game. The most talked about addition may be Pitt transfer and redshirt sophomore Rushel Shell, a former fivestar recruit who rushed for 641 yards and four touchdowns as a freshman backup to Ray Graham. But the return of WVU’s Andrew Buie also carries some hype with it. Buie led all West Virginia rushers with 179 carries, 851 yards and seven touchdowns in 2012, before leaving school and the team for nearly a year. Mountaineer fans will get a chance to see Buie and Shell, along with senior Dreamius Smith, redshirt junior Dustin Garrison and true sophomore Wendell Smallwood (who some of WVU’s coaches have

hinted may be the most versatile back of the bunch) all take snaps in West Virginia’s backfield Saturday. As far as receivers go, there’s a little more certainty that returning seniors Kevin White and Mario Alford along with sophomore Daikiel Shorts will likely remain close to the top of the depth chart – but with the highly-touted arrivals of Jacky Marcellus, Devonte Mathis and the return of Shelton Gibson from injury, there’s still a ways to go before anything is completely set in stone. Basically, Saturday’s Gold-Blue game will be much more than just an intra-squad scrimmage between the West Virginia offense and defense. It will be the best chance yet for Mountaineer fans to get a good look at the potential offensive personnel for the 2014 season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

CLUB SPORTS

WVU hosts conference championship by meghan carr sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 5-seed West Virginia University Ultimate Frisbee team will host conference championships this weekend for the first time in team history at the Med Center Fields located behind Mountaineer Station. “It’s usually held around Pittsburgh, but we put in what we felt was a competitive bid and they gave it to us,” said head coach John Terry. WVU Ultimate is part of the West Penn Conference and will host all six members: No. 1 Pitt, No. 2 Penn State, No. 3 Carnegie Mellon, No. 4 Shippensburg, No. 6 Edinboro and No. 7 Indiana University of Pennsylvania. The top six finishers will move on to the regional competition in two weeks. Every team participates in conference championships,

but not every team will make it to Regionals depending on the number of spots each conference is given. The West Penn Conference is given six this year based on strength of schedule. WVU Ultimate has never made it to Regionals, but Terry said he believes his team is ready for the next step. “Our team, we’ve never really been a team,” he said. “It’s always been like a second thing to do for the guys, (but) this year it feels like everything is coming together. We have new leadership, and it feels like a new culture. Historically, people haven’t taken us seriously because we haven’t been good, but we have a chance this season.” Ultimate is having its best season in team history, having been to the finals in two of its tournaments this season, but they know it won’t be easy against the powerhouse teams coming into

Morgantown. Pittsburgh is a back-toback National Championship winner, while Penn State and Carnegie Mellon are perennial powerhouses in the West Penn Conference, but Terry said he believes his team can compete with the best of them. “Penn State will be very competitive, but we always play them pretty tough. We lost to Carnegie Mellon in the finals 14-8, but we had a lot of our guys out due to injuries.” WVU Ultimate hasn’t competed with Pitt all year because WVU competes in local tournaments, while Pitt competes in larger tournaments across the country. Injuries have affected the team all year, but it has given the younger guys a chance to step up and gain experience. Terry said he’s seen the transformation since the beginning of the season and

knows how far his younger guys have come. “Our goal at the beginning of the season wasn’t to make nationals; our goal was to start building the program and build a solid foundation,” Terry said. “I think we’ve done that. We have a lot of younger guys who have come a long way since tryouts. It has been amazing to see the improvement of the team and individual players.” Out of 500 college Ultimate teams, only 20 will make Nationals. The tournament is expected to last all day Saturday and Sunday, and admission and parking is free for the public. Saturday is the pool play, followed by bracket play Sunday. WVU will face No. 2-seed Penn State at 10 a.m. and will compete against No. 1-seed Pittsburgh at noon Sunday. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

ROWING

WVU will compete in Knecht Cup by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University rowing team will travel to West Windsor, N.J., for a twoday match at the Knecht Cup Saturday and Sunday.

Head coach Jimmy King said he was disappointed in the team’s last outing against Indiana University Bloomington,but was more frustrated in how his individual team performed overall. “I’m disappointed in our overall results. Indiana is a

stronger, faster team, so the disappointment is less in the loss to a faster program and more in our poor execution,” King said. “Inconsistency continues to be an issue for our crews. The effort was there, but it was misplaced effort.” The Mountaineers’ misplaced efforts resulted in four second-place finishes during their third outing of the spring against IU on Lake Lemon in Bloomington, Ind. WVU’s “A” varsity four crew recorded an 8:05.6 finish on its second run, ahead of the Mountaineers’ “B” boat, which took third in the flight with a time of 8:28.7. However, IU still won the flight with a 7:50.7 time. Although King was not pleased with his squad’s performance, assistant coach Stacey Van Order said the

first varsity four boat was definitely a bright spot over the weekend. “If there’s one crew that performed consistently throughout the weekend, it was our 1V4+,” Van Order said. “I was pleased with the first varsity four’s performances throughout the weekend. After a week of rocky practices, something really clicked with them during our scrimmage on Friday. This led us into Saturday’s racing where they were able to execute two solid races against Indiana.” West Virginia will be racing in the varsity four, second varsity four and third varsity four. The Mountaineers will also be participating in the frosh/ novice eight, varsity eight and second varsity eight over the weekend. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia to close out regular season Sunday by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University tennis team will complete their regular season Sunday agaisnt Iowa State at 11 a.m. The match will be played at home at the Ridgeview Racquet Club in Morgantown. Mo u nt a i n e e r h e a d coach Miha Lisac said his team has continually put themselves in positions

to win matches, but it’s the late-match situations that have produced much turmoil for West Virginia throughout the season. “We put ourselves in a position to be successful, but we need to get better at taking advantage of late situations,” Lisac said. Last week, the Mountaineers were shut out in both of their matches, falling to then-No. 18 Oklahoma 7-0 Friday and thenNo. 22 Oklahoma State 7-0 Saturday.

The Mountaineers’ (316, 0-8 Big 12) No. 1 doubles team from the 2013 spring season, sophomore Hailey Barrett and junior Ikttesh Chahal, earned their first victory since beating then-No. 52 Kansas State March 14, beating the Cowgirls’ (12-5, 6-0 Big 12) Carla Tur Mari and Maria Alvarez, 8-7. On Friday, however, the Sooners’ (14-3, 4-1 Big 12) Morgan Chumney and Whitney Wofford dominated Barrett and Chahal,

8-3. At No. 1 doubles, the freshmen tandem of Oana Manole and Kaja Mrgole was defeated, 8-1, to the Sooners No. 64 pair of Mia Lancaster and Whitney Ritchie. At No. 2 singles match, Mrgole was downed in straight sets to No. 116 Ritchie, 6-2, 6-1. At No. 4 singles, Chahal also stumbled in straight sets to Lancaster, 6-4, 6-0. At No. 2 singles, Mrgole came back after dropping

the first set to Kanyapat Narattana, but after forcing a tiebreaker, Mrgole was unable to continue her momentum, falling 6-1, 7-6. The Cowgirls clinched the team match at the conclusion of the No. 1 singles match as Barrett fell to Megan McCray in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2. The Cyclones (8-13, 0-8 Big 12) are also coming off a 7-0 shutout to the Sooners Sunday as OU was able to sweep Iowa State in sin-

gles play as they earned their fourth straight win. Iowa State will enter the contest against WVU on a nine-match losing streak. With both squads still winless in the Big 12 Conference this season, the Mountaineers will attempt to win their first-ever Big 12 match since joining the conference nearly two years ago. Currently, West Virginia is 0-15 in the Big 12. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Bill Haas grabs lead with 68, Adam Scott in the mix AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — With dad in his ear, Bill Haas turned in the best round of his Masters career Thursday. Now he wants to do what his father never could – finish the job. Haas birdied the final hole for a 4-under 68 and the opening-round lead, the first time he has broken 70 in five appearances at Augusta National. His father, Jay, played in the Masters 22 times, with five top-10 finishes topped by a tie for third in 1995. He is staying with his son this week and providing valuable advice on the practice range. “I never remember thinking, ‘Man, I wish I could hit this shot for my dad,’” Bill Haas said. “But I do know that there’s times I’m like, ‘I wish my dad could hit this shot for me.’” Jay Haas never won a major despite having plenty of success on the PGA Tour. Maybe his son can take care of that family oversight. “I think he deserves a major in his career as good as he played,” Bill Haas said. Defending champion Adam Scott has his major title and got off to a strong start in his quest to stay dressed in green, even with a stumble in Amen Corner. Scott shook off a double-bogey at the par-3 12th, a tiny little hole that caused big trouble for a number of players. His tee shot caught the bank in front of the green and hopped back into Rae’s

Bill Haas, right, shakes hands with Miguel Angel Jimenez. Creek. “I had just received the most incredible ovation as I came to the 12th tee – and I hit my worst shot of the day,” Scott said. “I think that’s my first-ever trip into Rae’s Creek.” The Aussie bounced back with a birdie at the 14th, rolled in a testy putt to save par at the 18th, and finished with a 69, one shot off the lead. “It was a nice way to walk off, not shooting 70,” Scott said. In contrast to Haas, it was

the fifth time in his last six Augusta rounds that Scott has cracked the 60s, showing he still has the game to make a run at being the first backto-back Masters champion since Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2002. Jack Nicklaus and Nick Faldo are the only other repeat champions. If Scott finishes no worse than a tie for third place, he will take over the No. 1 spot in the world rankings for the first time in his career. “In a sense, winning last year took the pressure off,”

Scott said. “What’s the worst that can happen? I’m still a Masters champion.” Playing in their first Masters, Jimmy Walker and Kevin Stadler of the U.S. and Sweden’s Jonas Blixt were among those shooting 70, making their way around the course just fine despite some unfamiliarity with the revered layout. They are among a record two dozen Augusta rookies in the field, which doesn’t include four-time winner Woods, out of the game until

summer as he recovers from back surgery. The 35-year-old Walker is having a breakout year on the PGA Tour, picking up the first three victories of his career. He kept up his strong play, ripping off a run of four straight birdies starting at the 14th. “I wasn’t thinking I was going to make four in a row,” Walker said. “But just keep hitting good shots.” Gary Woodland and Brandt Snedeker of the U.S. also opened at 70, as did K.J.

appear like the starter didn’t even make it to the park that day. West Virginia’s Harrison Musgrave fell victim to this flawed statistic Friday. He pitched seven full innings, gave up just one run and left the game with a 3-1 lead. Seems like that would be worthy of a win, right? Whether his performance was worthy of a win or not doesn’t matter. The Mountaineer bullpen gave up three runs in the bottom of the ninth, surrendered

Choi of South Korea. Stadler is part of the first father-son duo to play the Masters together. His dad, Craig, was the 1982 champion, while Kevin earned a spot in the field with his first PGA Tour victory at Phoenix. The elder Stadler didn’t fare nearly as well as his son. Craig opened with an 82 in what he has said will likely be his farewell as a Masters competitor. “I played like a moron,” Craig Stadler said. Two players at 71 provided quite a contrast: 54-year-old Fred Couples and 20-yearold Jordan Spieth, who wasn’t even born when Couples won his green jacket in 1992. Among those with afternoon tee times: Phil Mickelson, attempting to join Woods and Arnold Palmer with a fourth green jacket. But that bid got off to a rocky start when Lefty shot a triple-bogey 7 at the seventh, his worst score ever at the hole nicknamed “Pampas.” The tournament began with Nicklaus, Palmer and Gary Player hitting ceremonial tee shots on a brisk, sunny morning. The “Big Three” combined to win 13 green jackets, including seven in a row at the start of the 1960s. This Masters is far less predictable. Without Woods or a dominant figure in golf, it’s seen as the most wide-open tournament in years. Day 1 did nothing to change that perception. over the next few weeks,” Cleary said. “We need to stay focused and be ready to raise our game.” In Palo Alto, Calif, senior Sarah Martinelli had a career day in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Martinelli ran the second-best time in program history and achieved a personal best. Martinelli’s fellow senior, Stormy Nesbit, placed eighth in the triple jump with a mark of 12.55 meters. The Invitational will kick off with the preliminary round of the women’s 100-meter dash and conclude late Saturday night with the men’s shot put. Fans can find results of the meet shortly after the conclusion on Saturday. — jf

as a hybrid linebacker and safety. “K.J. Dillon has been very disruptive on defense and more disciplined. He’s always been disruptive on defense, but sometimes it was disruptive for himself or me (more) than he has opposing offenses,” Holgorsen said. “Now he is more disciplined, he’s lining up better. He’s more disciplined and he’s staying on his feet and making more plays on defense, as well.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

the lead, lost the game, and Musgrave left the game with a no-decision. There are several other statistics that are much more reliable in determining how effective a pitcher is. Earned run average, batting average against, walks and hits per inning pitched and countless others give the pitcher much more control in determining their own success or failure. So the next time you’re looking through the box scores in the sports section, pay more attention to what a pitcher can actually control and forget the rest. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu
