WVU hosts sexual assault discussion by caitlin coyne staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University hosted a sexual assault awareness forum Thursday night to help foster an open discussion between University community members and students about the reality of violence on campus.

The panel took place at 6 p.m. in the Shenandoah room of the Mountainlair

and consisted of more than 15 WVU personnel answering questions about sexual assault on campus while interacting with those in attendance to come up with viable ideas and solutions to help reduce violence as a whole.

“A lot of this can be dealt with through education,” said Bob Roberts, WVU Police Chief.

Roberts and the other panelists agreed fostering a safe environment to dis-

cuss taboo issues like sexual violence is cardinal to coming up with solutions for these issues.

“Whatever role or roles we each have, we need to get more comfortable having uncomfortable discussions,” said Brian Jara, a Women and Gender Studies professor. “We need to own the moments where we may not agree.”

The beginning of the forum centered around introducing the panelists

and having them share what they needed to make this conversation worthwhile.

“I think getting the community engaged and being a part of the solution (is important),” Roberts said.

Throughout the discussion, the panelists conversed with each other and those in attendance about factors surrounding sexual assault on campus and what can be done to adjust certain views.

“I really don’t think we should paint just one picture of sexual assault,” said Samantha Shimer, a Student Government Association governor whose platform centers on sexual assault awareness.

Shimer discussed her concerns about needing to convey what consent really means.

“We aren’t defining the blurred lines for (people),” Shimer said.

WELLWVU hosts Recess Day at Mountainlair Green, encourages activity by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University students who braved the wind and cold yesterday evening were treated to an array of activities and prizes at the Mountainlair Green, courtesy of WELLWVU’s College Recess Day. “With final exams approaching, we want to remind students not to neglect their well-being,” said Colleen Harshbarger, director of WELLWVU’s Office of Wellness and Promotion, according to a press release. “Being active improves cognitive functioning leading to clearer thinking and reduced anxiety and resulting in better performance on exams.”

The event, which will also take place today from 3 to 4:45 p.m. at the Evansdale recreation fields, was part of WELLWVU’s moveWELL campaign, and was host to a variety of unique physical activities such as whiffle ball, slackline walking and Quidditch.

“We’re just trying to give students opportunities to get outside and try some different, maybe unorthodox, ways of moving and getting physical activity,” said Charlie Harman, a marketing communications graduate assistant at WELLWVU. “We’re also doing a scavenger hunt where students will do hulahooping, jump rope, pushups and find some stairs and hike up those.”

WELLWVU will also be giving away free Fitbits, courtesy of the Health Sciences Center.

Students interested in trying out activities from WVU’s more unconventional clubs like Quidditch are encouraged to come.

“It sounded like a great way to expose ourselves to the campus community and hopefully recruit some new members for the future,” said Jeff Stevens, a senior mining and civil engineering student and president of the Quidditch Club. “If anyone wants to come try it and play and they’re interested (in joining), we’d love to sign them up for next year.”

Quidditch Club members also plan on attending this afternoon’s event.

The event’s music was provided by WVU’s own DJ Dollar, who will also be at tomorrow’s Recess Day on the Evans-

For many students, summer does not necessarily mean a break.

With the spring semester quickly coming to an end, students at West Virginia University are preparing for summer in many different ways. Some are planning vacations while others are locking down summer jobs, but many are buying new pens and notebooks in preparation for summer classes.

Summer classes at WVU are offered at several different times in an assortment of ways. Many of the same classes offered in the fall and spring semesters are offered during summer, as well, both online and on campus. There are several different start dates throughout the summer, and the classes can last three, six or 12 weeks.

“There’s quite a variety of classes offered over the summer,” said Sue DayPerroots, associate vice president of Academic Innovation. “There’s basic, undergraduate general education that many students take. There’s also some specialized, a lot of research, internships and study abroad.”

While giving up some summer vacation for coursework may seem difficult, Day-Perroots said it can be a helpful boost to get ahead or catch up with classes.

“Many students are tak-

ing up an extra minor or are dual majors, so they work on that during the summer.

Study abroad is also very popular in the summer because they have a longer period of time,” Day-Perroots said. “There are also those notorious D/F repeats that happen a lot in the summer.”

While taking classes in the summer months may help ease students’ course load during the normal school year, many students opt out or only take a few summer courses due to the price.

Prices for classes vary based on the student’s rank, residency and whether the class is in-person or online.

Also, depending on the college, some tuition fees are slightly raised. “I think it’s too expensive,” said Tim Kocher, a sophomore exercise physiology student.

“Something like that, that is a three credit class, isn’t that significant and having to pay so much is kind of inconvenient.”

Nevertheless, Kocher said he will still be taking a class over the summer because it will benefit him in the long run.

“I’m doing it during the summer because it takes pressure off having to do it during the school year, and it keeps me from being not so studious over the summer,” Kocher said.

Even though many students disagree with the prices of the coursework, Tammy Bishoff, Curricu-

The winning design for this year’s official West Virginia University fan T-shirt will be announced Saturday at the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game.

The WVU Trademark Licensing office teamed up with Nike to create several designs, giving students and Mountaineer fans the opportunity to decide which shirt they want to wear for the upcoming 201516 school year. Since early April, fans have been able to vote for their favorite design online.

Two options were provided for the logo on the front of the shirt. One reads “Bleed Gold & Blue” accompa-

nied by the “Flying WV,” and the other reads “Let’s Go” inside an outline of the state of West Virginia.

After fans chose their favorite design, they were able to choose between the Mountaineer icon and a “Flying WV” to adorn the backside of the shirt.

After fans cast their votes for these choices and the color of the Tshirt, they were automatically entered in a chance to win their own official WVU fan Tshirt. The five winners will be announced on April 27.

For four years, Mountaineer fans have been given the chance to vote for their choice of

Nikki Goodenow, assistant director at Trademark Licensing, spoke about allowing students to become involved in choosing the shirt designs.

“We decided a vote would be a great way to have fans be able to voice their opinions,” Goodenow said.

Official fan shirts will be available for purchase in June at local WVU and Nike retailers and at http://shopwvu. com/.

The West Virginia University English Equestrian team will compete at the National Intercollegiate Horse Show in West Springfield, Mass., April 30-May 3. The team recently won the Regional Champion title for the 10th year in a row.

The team is comprised of 30 members, representing every level of riding and competition experience, Marie Hackney, a member of the team, will go on to compete in the national competition later this month.

Caite Schulze, public relations secretary for the team, said qualifying for nationals requires much dedication and skill. She said riders must place either first or second in their class at the regional Inter-collegiate

Horse Show competition to move on.

“This particular competition is exciting because it is Nationals, meaning the best of the best in IHSA. (There are) riders from all regions and zones. (There are) great riders and great horses,” Schulze said.

Schulze said the English team has not had a representative for the national competition in two years.

“The last time we had a girl qualify for nationals was two years ago. (Her name is) Kelsey Delaplaine, where she won third in her class,” Schulze said. “(This makes her) the third best Open rider in the nation.”

Open is the highest level of competition for an equestrian rider.

“We are excited that we

have a representative of WVU at nationals who is a great rider and will do us proud,” Schulze said. “(We are) anxious to see how it goes, though we will be proud no matter how she places, as it is just awesome she made it there.”

Those interested in participating in the Equestrian Team can signup in June or during New Student Orientation, or they can contact current members by email anytime during the semester.

Tryouts are required to join the team, and riders with or without experience are accepted. For more information on the equestrian team, visit: http://equestrian.studentorgs.wvu.edu/.

Giuseppe Lo Porto, Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto’s brother, left, talks with journalists in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, Thursday, April 23, 2015. The Italian government deplored the death of an Italian aid worker in a U.S. air strike, calling it a “fatal error” by the Americans. Italian Premier Matteo Renzi expressed his “profound pain” over Giovanni Lo Porto’s death and offered Italy’s condolences to Lo Porto’s family and that of American Warren Weinstein, who was killed in the same airstrike on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Both were held hostage by al-Qaida.

American, Italian hostages killed in US drone strike WASHINGTON (AP) — Blaming the “fog of war,” President Barack Obama revealed Thursday that U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan inadvertently killed an American and an Italian, two hostages held by al-Qaida, as well as two other Americans who had leadership roles with the terror network.

Obama somberly said he took full responsibility for the January CIA strikes and regretted the deaths of hostages Warren Weinstein of Rockville, Maryland, and Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian aid

worker. The president cast the incident as a tragic consequence of the special difficulties of the fight against terrorists.

The incident is likely to spark fresh scrutiny of Obama’s frequent use of drones to target terrorists and his pledge to strike only when there is “near certainty” that no civilians will be harmed.

Weinstein, who was captured as he neared the end of a contract assignment with the U.S. Agency for International Development, and Lo Porto were killed during a drone strike

against an al-Qaida compound in Pakistan, near the Afghan border. U.S. officials said the compound was targeted because intelligence showed it was frequented by al-Qaida leaders. That same intelligence offered no indication the hostages were there, the officials said.

Ahmed Farouq, a dual U.S.-Pakistani national who was an al-Qaida operations leader in Pakistan, was killed in the strike, along with a small number of members of the terror organization, the officials said. Adam Gadahn,

“With training we have this one shot approach to impact people,” said Walter DeKeseredy, the director of the Research Center on Violence.

DeKeseredy believes implementing discussions through all curricula, not just social science courses, could be beneficial to helping change the environment on campus.

“The discussions need

to be ongoing,” DeKeseredy said.

The running theme through the panel centered on getting students and community members involved in these type of discussions in order to ensure the possibility of change.

“This has to start with the students,” Gorman said. “Students shouldn’t be an add-on to whatever we’re doing. Whatever we’re doing should be student centric.”

“In the fall and the spring, typically students are full- time, so they’re taking 12 hours or more.

viewed hundreds of hours of surveillance of the compounds, including continuous monitoring of the facility where Farouq was killed in the days leading up to the strike.

“We believed that this was an al-Qaida compound, that no civilians were present and that capturing these terrorists was not possible,” Obama said. “And we do believe that the operation did take out dangerous members of al-Qaida.”

The president said he had ordered a review of the incidents to help

identify any changes that might be made to prevent similar deaths in the future.

The CIA drone program has killed al-Qaida leaders, Pakistani Taliban fighters and other militants hiding in tribal regions, sparking anger across Pakistan over allegations of widespread civilian casualties. Since 2004, the U.S. has carried out some 400 suspected drone strikes in Pakistan, according to the New America Foundation’s International Security Program, which tracks the American campaign.

Last, but not least, I’d like to thank Jake Jarvis for great cooperation and teamwork this past year through all the challenges we faced along the way.

And of course, thank you to everyone who reads the paper and shares feedback with us. It truly means a lot to me that people care about the work we spend hours producing every day.

However, there are courses online that both resident and non-resident students can enroll in for the same price.

“We do have courses that are online that are called SREC, Southern Regional Electronic Campus,” Day-Perroots said. “Those courses are available at resident tuition, even for nonresidents.”

Students can access a list of participating classes on the WVU Online and Extended Campus website.

In the end, Day-Perroots says taking classes during

the summer is a positive thing. She said it is an opportunity to fulfill credit requirements, and if students stay on campus, they get to experience a whole new side of Morgantown.

“The weather is nice, you can go to the lake, you can go hiking and traffic isn’t nearly as congested as it is in the fall and spring.

So it is a great time to be in Morgantown,” Day-Perroots said. “There’s movies in the park, there’s just a lot of things to do in Morgantown in the summer in addition to taking a course.”

Enforcing tobacco ban on campus In Charleston earlier this week, a proposal to ban smoking in all public areas was discussed by the City Council. The ban seeks to reduce the dangers of secondhand smoke in areas owned by the city and further eliminate the habit from local society.

Unfortunately, just because a ban is in place does not mean its enforcement is effective. The University has seen problems with its own tobacco ban this year: Cigarette butts consistently litter the area behind Woodburn and outside the Beechurst PRT station and it isn’t uncommon to see someone sneak a quick smoke before class somewhere on campus. The Sheetz inside University Place can even sell tobacco products to students, though the store it-

self is located on University-owned property.

In many ways, it appears as though the University’s campus-wide tobacco ban was set in place merely to deter students from simply considering tobacco use, not to indicate any real consequences that would come from being caught. Smoking on campus isn’t considered an act punishable by expulsion or deserving of a meeting with the Student Conduct Board, so University Police are virtually powerless to stop tobacco use from occurring on University-owned grounds.

If an entire city can consider a smoking ban in all public places, then a single university should be able to better discourage participation in a health hazard as dangerous as tobacco use.

The WVU campus went tobacco free on July 1, 2013.

Though being caught with venience might open the a cigarette is certainly not eyes of students who have an offense deserving of ex- made a habit of smoking in pulsion from the University, the more secluded parts of receiving a monetary cita- campus. tion or some other inconWe’ve all likely been fa-

miliar with the dangers of secondhand smoke since grade school, but it’s typically described in textbooks as an illness taking years to display any

real negative effects. However, for current students with asthma, breathing in a cloud of smoke can trigger an attack meriting an immediate visit to the hospital. Tobacco products also influence the smell of passersby’s clothing and create unnecessary litter on sidewalks, which is inconsiderate to other students, groundskeeping staff, future students on tour and Morgantown residents.

Students who smoke must realize the policy isn’t so much about punishing a negative habit as it is about protecting public health.

To ensure this, the University should be able to exercise an appropriate amount of authority when dealing with this issue on campus. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Commentary

Raising minimum wage bad move for Morgantown Taylor Jobin Columnist @TaylorJobinwvu

Over the past week, there have been protests all across the country to raise the minimum wage to $15. Everyone from fast food workers to adjunct professors have taken part. But if the minimum wage were to be raised, it would spell doom for all involved parties.

While raising the minimum wage is good in theory, it would actually cause many lower-skilled workers to lose their jobs and also put higher-skilled workers’ jobs in jeopardy.

But don’t just take my word for it: “Labor has to pay for itself. When you hire someone they have to work, and they have to bring in enough money to cover their salary. Otherwise they aren’t hired,” said Roger Congleton, Ph.D., BB&T Chair of Economics at WVU. “So part of the way you adjust to a big shock like that is to cut from your costs, which would be reduced employment, and (you would) have to pass on to consumers whatever you can with higher prices.”

This means fewer jobs and higher prices if the minimum wage were to be raised.

Congleton isn’t alone in this line of thinking. Just about every study shows raising the minimum wage does more harm than good in any context. So why is there such a big push when the overwhelming majority of economic experts shake their heads worryingly at the prospect of a higher minimum wage?

It’s because it sits well with voters.

Most people have worked a minimum wage job at some point, and it’s this common ground between the electorate making this

Contrary to popular belief, eliminating the minimum wage in Morgantown might actually increase pay for unskilled workers. a compelling issue. Constituents on both the left and right want to get paid more. The Democrats have hedged their bets that voters will vote with their hearts and not their minds, and Republicans are begrudgingly starting to cave.

Republicans had a sweeping victory in Congress last year, but red states like Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota have raised their state minimum wage, proving this is a bipartisan issue—at least among laypeople.

Seattle and San Francisco raised their minimum wage to $15 last year. It will take years of study to fully understand the effects, but both cities have seen an unusual amount of restaurants close, according to an article by the

National Review.

The same article cited a Seattle small business survey stating, “42 percent of surveyed employers were ‘very likely’ to reduce the number of employees per shift or overall staffing levels as a direct consequence of the law.”

To be fair, this is mostly speculation on a national level. Let’s look at the consequences of what would happen if the minimum wage were increased in Morgantown.

“It raises the price of unskilled labor, and there is a lot of that in this town. Basically, it would reduce the number of students with jobs and cause prices to go up a little bit,” Congleton said.

I know students like to envision the University as some

for-profit cash cow where the faculty swims in pools of our tuition, but the reality is we survive on a carefully proportioned budget run through numerous economic models to find the best possible outcome every year.

The University wouldn’t double students’ salaries; they’d simply, albeit reluctantly, fire us all until the law was changed back.

Gas station attendants, busboys and any menial job would become obsolete if the minimum wage was increased.

The worst-case scenario would be a dystopian world where robots work all unskilled jobs and about half the population is out of work—a scenario on which CNN has been running in-

fotainment docu-dramas for the past year.

The solution, and it’s a radical one: Do away with the minimum wage entirely.

While this would have profound effects on our country and would take years to quantify, it would also help stabilize the economy, reduce unemployment to never-before-seen lows and provide college and trade school students necessary internships and apprenticeships.

Imagine if you could get paid $5 an hour for an internship instead of nothing because the company can’t afford 12 interns at $7.25 an hour. Imagine if instead of sitting around collecting unemployment while you are between jobs, you could work a part-time delivery

pbs.org

job for $4 an hour plus tips.

These examples are both basic and practical and would give the economy some much-needed stimulation.

The greatest positive: No price floor. Some jobs aren’t even worth $7.25 an hour, but employers must currently pay at least that, which creates an artificial price floor. If employers could pay a fair price for equal labor, the prices on many things would decrease – something we can all get behind, I think.

No minimum wage requirement would create new jobs, lower prices and construct a healthier economy, allowing all of us to prosper financially.

Away with the minimum wage. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Eating healthier easy to achieve, implement into daily routine Francine Fluetsch UC Santa Cruz

Do you want to be healthier this spring? Many people want to be, but don’t really know where to start, or are worried that they will have to undergo some drastic, life altering routine to achieve their goal.

I’m here to tell you that you can start getting healthy without really having to change much of your everyday life.

Here are 6 easy tips for your journey to getting healthier.

1. Don’t skip breakfast.

You just woke up to find that your alarm didn’t go off.

“I’m going to be late!” you say as you quickly pull on some pants and rush out the door, skipping the most important meal of the day: breakfast!

We all have mornings like this, so you need to be prepared ahead of time so you don’t go really long without eating. Buy some healthy on-

DA

the-go snacks that you can quickly grab and take along with you for those days that start off in a rush.

I’d recommend things like applesauce crushers (don’t need a spoon and they aren’t messy), bananas, apples, granola bars (some are healthier than others so read the labels), or anything else you like that is fast and easy, yet will still be a good food item to start your day with.

For the days you don’t have to rush out the door, pair your breakfast choice with a bowl of fruit, a source of protein like an omelet, and some juice and water.

2. Pack a lunch the night before.

A lot of students don’t have time in the morning to pack a lunch, so packing it the night before will be a time saver, and will also let you make healthy choices for your future self.

Getting lunch at the school cafes every day can be challenging if you want to be

healthy, and can also be expensive if you don’t have a meal plan! Sure, they have some healthy options, but bringing your own lunch is the way to go in my opinion.

I usually pack myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (protein packed and filling), a fruit of some sort (usually cuties or grapes, though the grapes can get mushy if they are in your bag for a while), and a small piece of dark chocolate to sooth my sweet tooth craving.

Remember that being healthy is a lifestyle, not a “I’ll do this for a bit and then be done” kind of thing. Everything is okay in moderation, so if you have a sweet tooth, don’t cut it out completely, that will only lead you to binging on it later. Moderate your intake, but don’t deprive yourself.

3. Drink more water.

This one might seem obvious, but most people don’t drink enough water. The best way to tell is by the color of

your pee. If it is anything other than clear or close to clear, you aren’t drinking enough.

This article gives you six of the many health benefits of drinking water, including how good it is for your skin as well as how it helps your kidneys and with controlling calories.

What I usually do is fill up my reusable water bottle before school, and aim to have finished it before I get home.

Making little goals like this will help you stay conscious of the need to quench your thirst, even when you don’t really think you are thirsty.

4. Walk to class.

Exercise to some is such a burden, and if you’re like me, lying on the couch and watching Netflix seems much more appealing. The simple solution to getting some movement in your day? Walking to all of your classes.

Don’t take the bus, and don’t ask your friend for a ride–really make it your goal to use your own two feet to get around the campus and

back home. It may not seem like much, but moving a little is better than not at all.

5. Find fun ways to exercise.

If you want to up your exercise game, find some fun ways to do it if you hate the gym. My roommate and I had a spontaneous sword fight with water bottles yesterday, and after bouncing around and thwacking each other as if we were in a real duel, we came out pretty tired. We were exercising without even realizing it!

Dancing is a great alternative as well, or going swimming with your friends. My suggestion would be to try out multiple methods, so you can see which one appeals to you most.

Trying out different things will also prevent you from getting bored. The less it seems like exercise and more like fun, the more likely you will be to stick with it.

6. Learn to cook simple and healthy meals.

A large reason college kids tend to be more on the unhealthy side is because cooking takes time and effort. Why wait around in the kitchen for forever when you could easily cruise by Panda Express and pick up dinner?

While getting take-out shouldn’t be totally cut from your routine, I’d try and opt for cooking 5 to 6 times a week, and then having a fun eat out day once a week. This will save you money and will help you get on track to being healthy.

If time is not something you have a lot of, consider prepping meals the night before, or cooking in the morning after finishing breakfast, so your meal will be ready to go when you get home and you are hungry.

These are just a few suggestions, but remember, where there’s a will, there is a way, and when you step back and think about it, getting healthy is not as complicated as we all think it is!

The most popular super power, with 28 percent of the responses, is the ability to fly. Many people chose this because they said it would help with getting around Morgantown’s hilly and treacherous roads. Others said they’d just like the feeling.

The second most popular answer, with 16 percent of the responses, was teleportation. Again, getting around Morgantown was cited as the biggest draw of this power.

It would appear students really dislike walking, at least around here.

A close third with 15 percent of the responses was invisibility. Whether they wanted to use this for good or for evil (I certainly know what 15-year-old

me would be doing with this), they didn’t say. One must admit, being able to turn invisible would be cool, though.

My personal favorite, and the power I would take now if I could, came in fourth. Mind reading garnered nine percent of the votes. The applications in day to day life would be endless. You’d never fail a test again and you’d always know the right thing to say to diffuse a hairy situation.

Other popular answers were time control, control over the weather/elements, (a godsend with Morgantown’s fickle climate) and telekinesis, the ability to move physical objects with your mind.

The “other” category consisted of answers which were only said once. One guy wanted X-ray vision. One superachiever wanted to never have to sleep again.

‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ lays groundwork for Marvel’s Civil War BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — There’s a conflict brewing in “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and it doesn’t involve megalomaniac robots. After reaching a peace with their structure and roles on the superhero fighting team, Tony Stark/Iron Man and Steve Rogers/Captain America have begun to clash ideologically.

The stoic Steve, still reeling from revelations of widespread corruption in “The Winter Soldier,” is starting to question the precepts he’s followed blindly for so long. Tony, meanwhile, is drifting toward the desire for order and control.

“Morality hits Tony, humanity hits Tony. All of a sudden he feels responsible,” said Chris Evans, who plays Rogers for the fourth time in the billion dollar Marvel franchise.

“Neither one of them are blindly convicted. It’s blurry and that’s what makes it great. No one’s right, no one’s wrong,” said Evans in a recent joint interview with Robert Downey Jr., back for a fifth turn as Stark.

“It’s going to make it even harder for them to come to an agreement, which I’m really excited about,” said Downey.

While the seeds of a fight are scattered throughout “Ultron,” the second gathering of the “Avengers” on the big screen out May 1, it’s also setting the stage for next year’s “Captain America: Civil War.” Plot details are sparse, but any casual comics fan knows that “Civil War” is where the “Avengers” fracture, divided down lines set by Tony and Steve.

It’s also the only upcoming Marvel film for which

Downey and Evans have been confirmed.

“It’s like a marriage,” said Evans. “We love each other but it’s explosive. You’re working toward the same goal but you have very different approaches to it.”

Added Downey: “I’m really stoked to see when we have more stuff to actually do together besides like act like we’re about to have a fight one day.”

Off-screen, the dynamic is, of course, a bit more polite. Sitting on a patio at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, Downey and Evans were calm and casual with each other.

When Evans tried to explain how others on set are more talented and smarter than he is, Downey quickly jumped in to offer some reassurance.

“I have stood toe to toe with some of the great-

est folks of all time and if Spencer Tracy is right - you know, hit your mark and tell the truth - nobody that I’ve worked with does it the way that (Evans does),” said Downey.

“God. I tinkled a little bit,” laughed Evans in response.

As with the rest of the “Avengers” actors, Evans is downright deferential in the presence of Downey.

He made sure to immediately stress Downey’s essential contributions to creating Marvel’s Avenger world. In 2008, the success of “Iron Man” laid the foundation for what is now one of the most influential series in the industry.

“None of this would have happened without Downey,” said Evans, who went on to compare him to “The Godfather.”

“Success has many mas-

ters. It’s fun taking all the credit, but the only part of it that’s true is that I put points on the board for a team that didn’t even know it was going to be a team,” said Downey.

“Ultron” isn’t even in domestic theaters yet, but preproduction is already underway on a summer shoot for “Civil War,” with “Winter Soldier” directors Joe and Anthony Russo at the helm. In the big business of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there’s no waiting to see how “Ultron” performs before greenlighting future projects.

Both “The Avengers” and “Iron Man 3” made over $1 billion at the global box office. And, since Disney came on to produce the films, none have made under $600 million worldwide. With a slate that extends through 2019, the stu-

dios are betting hard on the continued appeal and evolution of Marvel’s universe.

“Some people say there’s going to be superhero exhaustion. But these movies aren’t just superhero movies,” said Evans. “The superhero involvement is what’s going to bring the audiences because of the familiar properties but then you get into the movie and it’s not just him and his suit, it’s not just me and my shield.

It’s people having real life discussions and real life conflicts as characters, that’s what people are going to relate to.”

Downey agreed, but with a provision.

“What will happen is it will change,” he said. “I’m just stoked that we get to be still doing this at the point where it’s representative of what it is. It kind of drives the industry.”

Bronson steels the city on his Mr. Wonderful Tour Caitlin Worrell Associate A&E Editor @dailyathenaeum

The one and only infamous, ginger rapper Action Bronson will be taking the metro area by storm tonight at Xtaza Nightclub in Pittsburgh. As a part of his “Mr. Wonderful Tour,” the budding artist is expected to receive a hometown welcome miles away from his native stomping grounds.

With a head-jerking appearance and raw, eye-opening lyrics, it’s clear Bronson is not your typical MC. Born Arian Arslani, Action Bronson grew up on the tough streets of New York City. His unique urban upbringing introduced him to the world of hip-hop at a young age, influencing him to take up his rap hobby. In his early 20s, Bronson pursued his culinary passions, emerging as a respected gourmet chef in the Big Apple. He even hosted an online cooking series, “Action in the Kitchen.”

Bronson’s career took a 180 when he broke his leg in an unfortunate cooking incident. Returning to his musical roots, Bronson decided to seriously pursue his rap

dreams.

The old school rapper released his debut album, “Dr. Lecter,” under an independent New York label in March of 2011. Raising a few eyebrows, Bronson quickly followed up with the release of “Well Done” and his second mixtape, “Blue Chips.” “Well Done” was more of a collaborative effort, featuring hiphop producer Statik Selek-

tah, while “Blue Chips” was strictly a solo project.

His second record officially put Bronson on the map, landing him a record deal with famed producer Paul Rosenberg. Having worked with artists like Eminem and Blink-182, Rosenberg was the perfect fit for the notoriously raspy rhymer. His new team assisted him on numerous collaborative efforts in 2012

and ultimately helped him sign with Atlantic Records.

A big label and fancy entourage didn’t faze the rapper, who continued to wow his growing fan base with stellar lyrics and even better beats. Bronson splashed into the mainstream with the release of his EP “Saaab Stories” in June of 2013. You may have heard his hit “Strictly 4 my Jeeps” blasting in the gym

or on the radio. The track, which features producer Harry Fraud, is a fast-paced ode to Bronson’s hometown and crew.

Using inspiration from Ghostface Killah and Kool G Rap, Bronson has evolved into the poetic genius he is today. His most recent album, “Mr. Wonderful,” is said to be his first self-titled piece.

Bronson takes many artis-

tic approaches to his new record. While fans can count on his signature gangster style, the rapper changed things up with tracks like “The Rising” and “Easy Rider.” “The Rising” boasts a clanking piano, layers of jazz and Bronson’s distinct set of pipes. This is one of the more melodic tracks on the album. “Easy Rider” takes a completely different approach with wailing electric guitars and snaring motorcycle sounds. The song’s music video features the artist riding through a desert on a chopper, keeping with Bronson’s typical hardcore aesthetic.

Tonight’s nearly sold-out show is one of the last few stops on Bronson’s journey across the nation, and he is expected to please long-time followers and possibly even grab the attention of a few new listeners. Hip-hop fans can also enjoy opening act DJ Alchemist, another ‘90sstyle rapper. Mr. Wonderful will take the stage at 9 p.m. tonight at Xtaza Nightclub.

Fashion Friday: A shoe-in on the trends WVU relays for life Ally LitteN

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Shoes are a girl’s best friend. Wedges, platforms, flats, canvas tennis shoes - we love (and want) them all. With the summer season upon us, many popular stores are stocking up on cute, affordable shoes.

Here is the scoop on who will be stocking the trendiest footwear.

Forever 21: Gladiator sandals are back. If you threw your old ones away, no worries. Our favorite, most affordable store, Forever 21, has many different variations for low prices.

Another good deal at Forever 21 are the cutout sandals. Why spend a ton of money on shoes that probably will not be in style long?

Forever 21 is perfect for the fashionista who is on a budget. Stock up on cut out sandals, booties and, of course, gladiators.

Charlotte Russe: People either love wedges or hate them. If you are the kind of girl who loves throwing on a summer sundress and adding a little height, Charlotte Russe is the store for you. Available in many different colors, shapes and heel sizes, there are 200 different kinds of wedges on Charlotte Russe’s website.

Wooden, strappy, braided or printed - there is something for everyone. With most of the wedges between $30 - $40, Charlotte Russe is affordable and fashionable.

PacSun: Chuck Taylors are never going out of style, and PacSun’s shoe department confirms it. Offering many different colors and designs of the famous sneaker, shoppers can get a pair to go with every outfit.

Floral, paisley and solid colors are all available online.

PacSun also offers many different styles of Vans and

New Balances. Most of its sneakers are currently 20 percent off, so hurry up and check out their selection.

Urban Outfitters: Getting a little pricier, Urban Outfitters is known for their high quality, eclectic clothes. Offering many brand name sandals, Urban Outfitters has unique Sanuk, Matiko and PONS AVARCAS, which are increasingly hard to come by.

Everyone loves the slip-on Sanuks; however, Urban Outfitters is currently selling Sanuk printed sling sandals. If you are looking for comfort and stability, PONS AVARCAS offers many pairs of cute woven sandals with slingbacks. For those going on a summer adventure, Matiko has a pair of jelly sandals that would be perfect for a day at the river, lake or ocean. If you have the money to spend, Urban Outfitters is definitely the Gladiator Sandals place to go.

American Eagle Outfitters: Everyone needs a plain pair of leather flip-flops. If Rainbow sandals are too expensive for you, check out American Eagle Outfitters. Offering many different styles of flip-flops, their thong-sandal options are cute and affordable. The flip-flops range from $20 to $30, less than Urban but probably still pricier than Forever 21. If you are looking for a pair of life-long (or at least a few years long) pair of sandals, American Eagle is selling name brand Birkenstocks in many different colors and styles. Coming in the Arizona, Gizeh and Madrid styles, the popular sandal can be bought for as low as $70. American Eagle also offers banded sandals, rubber flip-flops, peep toe flats and gladiator sandals for trendier shoe lovers.

Just when we thought the nice weather was here to stay, Mother Nature decided to pull a cruel joke on Morgantown this weekend. If your plans of porch drinking and sun tanning are ruined, go check out Artist Weekend this Saturday.

West Virginia University senior Ronson Shultz kicked off the weekend Thursday night by showcasing his Senior Project Exhibition. Other WVU Fine Arts

seniors currently have their senior projects showcased at the Creative Arts Center in a special major exhibition.

Following Shultz’s exhibition opening, a reception was held in his honor.

An Artist Themed Party was supposed to be held today; however, it was unfortunately canceled. The festivities will pick up again on Saturday during the Artist Vendor Day. Free to the public, 15 artists will be at the celebration alongside Black Bear Burritos, who will be serving up delicious eats.

Local artists Hillary Leach,

Jenny Wilson, Caty Metz, Whitney Metz, Tyler Bray, Austin Remple, Cody Stiles, Sally Deskins, Barbara Beers, Ronson Shultz, Avalon, Rachel Robinette, Adrianne Zoretich and Eddie Spaghetti will be showcasing and selling their artwork during the weekend-long event.

Ashton Cutright, director of Arts Monongalia, will also showcase her digital and paper collages. Surrealism, abstract, realism and sculpture are just a few of the outlets artists chose to pursue in their submissions. Local musicians Ben Brady and Xavier

Torres will be performing their talent, as well.

Although this is the first Artist Weekend, Cutright is hoping this will become an annual event here in Morgantown.

The event will be held at Art Monongalia, located at 201 High Street, and will be held from 11-1 p.m.

Morgantown hosts local artist weekend showcase ALly Litten

Ten years in the making, West Virginia University is set to host its annual Relay for Life fundraiser. The event kicks off at 6 p.m. tonight and will take place in the Shell Building adjacent to the Coliseum. All proceeds will be donated toward cancer research, and the bar is set high for a whopping $105,000.

The event will consist of a 12-hour continuous mini marathon relay in which 83 teams and 1,159 members will walk, jog, crawl and run their way to their target amount for the charity. The event will also include food and drinks, entertainment and prepared activities. The event will conclude on Saturday at 6 a.m.

“It’s important for students to recognize that life goes on outside,” said Kim Harrison, assistant director of student activities. “What they might be experiencing on campus doesn’t show all of the people out there facing real challenges, and anytime that they can demonstrate that they are not only a good, intervening member of the WVU community but also of the Morgantown community, then it’s just a bonus all around.”

Harrison went on to ex-

plain the importance of perspective and that it is easy to get caught up in college and forget about humanity. But just in the way that cancer can affect any type of person, all types of people from varying walks of life wish to help advocate their time and efforts to the cause.

Relay for Life aims to raise awareness, celebrate the lives of survivors, remember those we have lost and unite a community in the fight against cancer.

Harrison, who has been in remission for 11 years, believes students can become insulated from everyday issues.

“Everyone has someone close to their hearts, but they won’t always be able to recognize that there might be that backseat person whose family member is having a hard time or even a fellow student who is facing serious health issues,” Harrison said. “Relay for Life is just a good time to step back and reassess what is going on around you and how you can help. It’s a great opportunity to do just that, and everyone should get involved.”

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

Tonight: Indulge a friend or loved one.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might feel as if someone is intentionally working against you. This person will do whatever he or she thinks will work. Do yourself a favor and pull away quickly. Review your finances before you engage in an expenditure. Tonight: Keep your distance from a control game.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Someone could be trying to pull you into a power play. Be smart and refuse to be part of the game. A friend will add an unexpected quality to your day.

Use some of your innate charm and wit, and success will follow. Tonight: Buy a new item for your wardrobe.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Your desire to have a situation play out the way you want it to could cause a rift. You might not realize how damaging your manipulation can be. Let go, and trust that your thoughts will be evaluated once the power play ceases.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You might sense that much is going on behind closed doors. Consider breaking past a barrier. If you succeed, communication will excel. Be aware that someone around you has a crush on you. Could you have a secret admirer?

Tonight: Let go, and have fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You easily could be overwhelmed by what you are hearing and sensing behind the scenes. Someone you look up to might be on the warpath. Know that you can’t stop this person, but you can withdraw your energy from the situation. Tonight: Paint the town red.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH A new friend suddenly could become contrary. You can’t control this person’s mood, but you can control your response to it. A meeting will allow your inventive mind to flourish. Stay on top of what is needed, but avoid becoming controlling. Tonight: Find a spot with great music.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Listen to news with openness, and attempt to deal with a problem. You might need to take the lead. Allow greater give-and-take. Your ability to see past the obvious will help you eliminate what is unnecessary. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Reach out to someone at a distance.

You could be delighted by the conversation, though you might hear some unexpected news. A loved one could be difficult. Schedule some one-onone time with this person if you can.

Tonight: Flow with the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Deal with individuals rather

than groups. You can be more open and get a better grasp on the other party’s thoughts. A child or new friend could surprise you. If you are single, someone you meet today will have a strong effect on you. Tonight: Head out with friends or co-workers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Go with the flow, even if a suggestion sounds a little silly. It might be good for you to head into less-predictable situations. A loved one finally will decide to open up rather than resort to making argumentative comments. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Allowing more give-and-take would help you get past an unexpected com-

munication. Understand that others could be a little out of whack & more volatile than usual. Let go of judgments, especially when dealing with a friend. Tonight: Lighten your mood.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Your creativity will emerge when dealing with an associate who could cause some uproar. A roommate or family member will express his/her caring in a significant way. Your intuition is likely to help you make a choice. Tonight: Your words will make a friend smile.

West Virginia infielder Kyle Davis celebrates after hitting a home run in Tuesday’s game against Marshall.

Mountaineer baseball faces Kansas in critical conference series at home

BY DAVID Statman SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

With 15 games left in the regular season, it’s time for West Virginia University baseball to grab some conference momentum. The Mountaineers are back in action this weekend at the Monongalia County Ballpark, as they take on the Kansas Jayhawks in a critical three-game Big 12 series.

As the Mountaineers prepare to take on the lastplace team in the Big 12, West Virginia head coach Randy Mazey said the pressure is on his team to not get complacent.

“The biggest concern for me is that people are going to look at them and say they are in last place in the league and think they’re not that good,” Mazey said in an interview with WVUSports.com. “That’s not the case at all. I’ve had some people tell me they are the best team they’ve played this year.

“They just had some bad luck on the mound early in the season. Now they’re pitching better, and when it matches up with their hitting, this team is super dangerous.”

Although West Virginia carries a respectable 23-15 record into the weekend, they haven’t been able to

get a lot going against conference opponents. The Mountaineers are 5-7 in Big 12 competition, with a lone series win against Kansas State sandwiched by losses to Texas, Baylor and Oklahoma.

Jackson Cramer’s goahead home run helped the Mountaineers snag a critical Saturday win last weekend against the first-place Sooners, but the boys in blue and gold only scored a combined two runs in the other two games of the series. Ace righthander Chad Donato was touched up for 10 runs in the series finale, nearly doubling his season ERA in the process.

The Mountaineers got a

major lifeline with a midweek win over the Marshall Thundering Herd Tuesday at the Monongalia County Ballpark, winning the hardball version of the Friends of Coal Bowl 3-2 on a goahead bases loaded walk by outfielder KC Huth in the eighth inning.

Although West Virginia only managed four total hits against Marshall Tuesday, two of those left the yard.

The Mountaineers got a promising sign from slumping senior shortstop Taylor Munden, who broke out of his malaise at the plate with a 2-for-4 night and his team-best ninth home run of the season.

Meanwhile, freshman in-

fielder Kyle Davis, who has emerged as one of the Big 12’s most productive hitters this season, connected on his fourth homer of the year.

Now sixth out of the nine baseball-playing teams in the Big 12, West Virginia will get the chance to build on Tuesday’s late win against Kansas, the squad currently holding down last place in the conference at 4-8, 17-24 overall.

The Jayhawk pitching staff has been the worst in the Big 12 by a number of measures: their 5.93 cumulative ERA, .309 opposing batting average, 28 home runs allowed and 4.2 walks per nine innings all rank last in the conference.

Tonight’s game features a projected matchup between Mountaineer freshman BJ Myers and Kansas southpaw Ben Krauth, while Saturday is projected to see soft-tossing lefty Ross Vance take on Jayhawk senior Drew Morovick.

Finally, Sunday’s 1 p.m. game looks to showcase Mountaineer righthander Chad Donato as he attempts to bounce back from his rough outing against Oklahoma. Kansas freshman lefthander Blake Weiman, starter of the Jayhawks’ last two Sunday games, is 1-6 with a 7.53 ERA this season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia holds annual Gold-Blue Spring Game by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenauem

West Virginia will play its annual Gold-Blue Spring Game Saturday at 1 p.m. at Milan Puskar Stadium.

Coming off a 7-6 (5-4, Big 12) season in 2014, the Mountaineers must find replacements for departed quarterback Clint Trickett, receivers Kevin White and Mario Alford and guards Quinton Spain and Mark Glowinski.

According to head coach Dana Holgorsen, junior quarterback Skyler Howard is the “clear-cut No. 1,” owning the edge over redshirt freshman and former blue-chip recruit William Crest.

West Virginia will also be testing the waters Saturday

with its two new outside receivers in redshirt sophomore Shelton Gibson and junior Daikiel Shorts.

Shorts, who finished last season with 24 receptions for 346 yards and two touchdowns, moves to the outside this season after spending the last two seasons at inside receiver. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Clayton, N.J., native has played in 25 games and started 13 for the Mountaineers during his two-year career.

Gibson, a former fourstar prospect and U.S. Army All-American, played in 12 games for West Virginia last season and was used extensively on special teams.

The coaching staff looks for the 5-foot-11, 188-pound Cleveland Heights, Ohio, native to live up to his potential this season.

The Mountaineers return veterans Marquis Lucas, Tyler Orlosky and Adam Pankey up front on the offensive line. The trio each started all 13 games for West Virginia last season and boast a combined 46 career starts between them.

This season, Pankey moves from tackle to guard, while redshirt junior Tony Matteo is slated to start at the other guard position opposite Pankey.

Re dshir t freshman Yodny Cajuste, a 6-foot-5, 293-pound Miami native, is the leading candidate to start at left tackle this season.

On defense, West Virginia returns 10 starters from last year’s unit, including a handful of key reserves.

As far as personnel

changes go, redshirt senior linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, the Mountaineers’ leading tackler the past two seasons, shifts from middle to strongside linebacker this season. Fellow redshirt senior linebacker Jared Barber, who missed the entire 2014 season while recovering from a knee injury, will start at middle linebacker.

Aside from the depth and talent in the Mountaineers’ linebacking corps, West Virginia’s secondary figures to be one of its greatest strengths this season.

Safeties Karl Joseph, K.J. Dillon and Dravon Henry return, along with cornerbacks Daryl Worley, Terrell Chestnut and Ricky Rumph. However, Worley and redshirt junior safety Jarrod Harper are out until June while recovering from

shoulder surgeries.

Kicker Josh Lambert, a 2014 Lou Groza Award Finalist, and punter Nick O’Toole, a 2013 All-Big 12 Second Team selection, return for West Virginia, as well.

track & Field

McNeil showing promise for West Virginia

BY DJ DESKINS

SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Shamoya McNeil of the West Virginia University women’s track and field team was named the WVU Athlete of the Week for the week of April 20, making her the first member of her team to earn the honor and the fourth freshman this year.

A native of Portland, Jamaica, McNeil began competing in track around the age of 10 while in primary school.

“My teacher was also a coach,” McNeil said. “He invited me to training one day, and I became interested in it.”

She went on to compete in high school at Titchfield High before transferring to St. Jago High. During the high school championships in Jamaica, WVU assistant coach Shelly-Anne Gallimore was on a recruiting trip and noticed McNeil.

“My assistant coach, Shelly Gallimore, had been tracking her results and became very interested in recruiting her after their initial conversation,” said head coach Sean Cleary.

“We are very fortunate

to have Coach Gallimore with us at WVU. The kids in her group trust her and feel at home in her presence. Shamoya has been a wonderful addition to our group; they make a great pair.”

McNeil specializes in the triple jump for the Mountaineers, but it originally was just her backup plan in the sport. When she transferred high schools, she found herself on the edge of not making the track team for her favored event, the hurdles.

“Prior to this, triple jump to me was the worst event ever. I never wanted to try it,” McNeil said. “Now I was in trouble and couldn’t make the team hurdles, so I decided to just try it. I gave it a try and was good at it.”

Despite her ability to compete in multiple events, both she and Cleary have decided to just focus on the triple jump because of her potential in the event.

“Shamoya has tremendous poise,” Cleary said.

“With time, we will see her become one of the nation’s very best jumpers.

Improvements will come with maturity and experience. As she gets stronger and grows with confidence,

“The adjustment from a classroom.”

The transition from high small town in Jamaica to school to college can take a Morgantown is not easy

for most,” Cleary said. “For Shamoya, it has had its difficulties, but based on her grades and athletics, no one would ever know.”

This season, McNeil has been one of the team’s top competitors and one of the more promising freshmen in the Big 12. Entering this weekend’s Penn Relays, she has posted back-to-back career-best numbers in the triple jump. Her latest distance of 12.51 meters ranks sixth among all freshmen.

Cleary feels that McNeil has potential to be one of the Mountaineers’ all-time greats and is already competing with the best talent in the country.

“I feel if Shamoya continues on her path, we should see her at the national finals,” Cleary said.

“I truly believe that she has the ability to go all the way. Her attitude, presence and maturity are very unique for somebody that has only lived in America for a few months. Our hope is that she is named to the All-Big 12 team in outdoors and punches a ticket to the first round of the NCAA Championships. I feel both are realistic goals.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

NCAA freshman ineligibility problematic NEW YORK (AP) -- NCAA President Mark Emmert is glad the Big Ten has sparked a discussion about freshman ineligibility, even though it is an idea fraught with potential pitfalls.

Emmert spoke at a meeting of Associated Press Sports Editors on Thursday. He said the NCAA helped Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany with the conference’s recent white paper on a so-called year of readiness for freshman football and men’s basketball players.

“It’s a really interesting notion that’s worthy of debate,” Emmert said. “It has all kinds of problems. It is highly controversial.”

However, Emmert said freshman ineligibility could be a way to aid those student-athletes who enter college lagging behind the rest of the student body academically.

“The real question we need to address: Are students sufficiently serious about being students as well as athletes and are they sufficiently prepared to be successful as a student as well as an athlete?”

Emmert said.

Delany first pitched the idea of a year of readiness in February. He followed up last week with a white paper outlining a plan to make football and men’s basketball players sit out their freshman seasons without losing a year of eligibility.

The chances of Delany’s idea becoming a reality are slim. He has also acknowledged the Big Ten could not implement freshman ineligibility alone, and no other commissioner has come out in favor of his plan.

All have acknowledged that some form of freshman ineligibility, possibly targeting athletes who fail to meet certain academic standards, could be useful.

In 2016, new increased qualifying standards go into effect that could cause some athletes to take an academic redshirt.

“We, the membership, do need to figure out how to fix that problem because we have too many kids coming in who are at a very big academic competitive (dis)advantage and how do we help them?”

Emmert said. “How do we help this young man,

this young women be successful in college because that’s going to change their life.

“There’s a lot of work to be done there.”

Emmert said the freshman ineligibility discussion has nothing to do with stopping one-and-done in men’s college basketball.

“Well, that would be a sledge hammer on a mosquito,” he said. “Because one-and-done in any given year there’s maybe 10 of them, 12 of them?

Is one-and-done an issue? Yes. You would never ever want to do freshman ineligibility to deal with one-and-done.”

The NBA age limit stopped teams from drafting players out of high school and has led to some elite players spending only one season in college and barely a full-academic year as a student.

Emmert said he would like to see more paths to pro leagues for developing athletes.

“A young man or woman shouldn’t have to go to college to become a professional athlete,” he said.

Emmert also weighed in on the debate over foot-

ball coaches taking part in camps away from their own campuses. Often far away. Michigan was the latest school to make news with so-called satellite camps.

Coach Jim Harbaugh announced last week plans for him and his staff to be guest coaches at camps in Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania and other recruiting hot beds.

The Southeastern Conference prohibits its coaches from guest coaching at camps far from their own campuses, and the league’s coaches are not happy about Big Ten schools encroaching on their territory.

Incoming SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey has said he believes the NCAA needs to step in and determine where coaches can hold camps.

Emmert agreed the camp issue is one that should be dealt with by the NCAA Football Oversight Committee, headed

by Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.

“It will certainly be on the tip of their list,” Emmert said. “Whether they

throw the gates open or whether they close it down will be their call. Having different rules in different places, that’s a de facto decision. If one or more conferences is doing it then it seem inevitable that all the conferences will say, `Yes, let’s do it.’ So that’s a decision by default. If that’s where they (the oversight committee) want to be, fine but at least make a conscious decision.”

Manfred: Rose can participate in ASG NEW YORK (AP) -- Commissioner Rob Manfred says Pete Rose will be allowed to participate in activities surrounding this summer’s AllStar Game in his hometown of Cincinnati.

Rose, baseball’s career hits leader and a former Reds star player and manager, agreed to a lifetime ban from the sport in 1989 after a Major League Baseball investigation concluded he bet on his team to win while he was managing the club.

Manfred said initial thoughts about Rose’s role at the July 14 game will come from Reds owner Bob Castellini.

“I’ve agreed with Mr. Castellini that we’re going to have a conversation about what specific kind of participation the Reds are interested in, and we have not had that conversation yet,” Manfred said Thursday during a meeting with the Associated Press Sports Editors. “You can rest assured that he will about allowed to participate in some of the activities.”

MLB permitted Rose to take part in the All-Century team announcement at Atlanta’s Turner Field during the 1999 World Series and a Reds ceremony in 2013 honoring their 1975 and `76 championship teams.

In 24 seasons in the majors, Rose had 4,256 hits, won three World Series titles and was voted the 1963 NL Rookie of the Year and

SPECIAL NOTICES

the 1973 NL Most Valuable Player. A 17-time All-Star, Rose made the team at five different positions.

Rose, who turned 74 this month, applied for reinstatement in September 1997 and met in November 2002 with Commissioner Bud Selig, who never ruled on the application. Rose submitted another application for reinstatement after Manfred succeeded Selig in January.

“We have gathered volumes, I mean literally volumes of documents, related to the original investigation,” Manfred said, explaining how they had been brought out of storage.

“They’re in the process of organizing those, preparing summaries so that I can review those documents.”

MLB has spoken with Rose’s representatives about how the process for Manfred’s evaluation will go forward. Manfred said it was too early to estimate a timetable.

Fox, which will televise the All-Star Game, said last weekend it had hired Rose as a studio analyst this season. Because of the ban, Rose is not allowed in areas of ballparks not open to fans, except with special approval from the commissioner’s office.

“Fox’s decision is their decision,” Manfred said. “It’s really not something that we have any contractual control over or that we ever had any input in.”

Mountaineers lose to Sooners in Big 12 first round by nicole curtin

The West Virginia University women’s tennis team finished its spring 2015 season Thursday at the Big 12 Championships. Before heading to the Big 12s yesterday the Mountaineers dropped their last 11 matches in a row, including losses to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State at home this past weekend.

Against the Sooners last Saturday, West Virginia fell behind quickly from a 6-0 decision loss from freshman Yvon Martinez and sopho-

more Kaja Mrgole to OU’s Abbi Melrose and Christie Brigante. Adding onto that loss, junior Hailey Barrett and senior Ikttesh Chahal lost 6-3 against the Sooners’ Emma Divine and Malene Stripp.

In the singles matches, Oklahoma swept the Mountaineers in three straight matches. In the No. 1 slot Mrgole fell to Yuriko Lily Miyazaki 7-6, 6-2. Martinez dropped her match to OU’s Divine 6-0, 6-3, and Chahal followed suit, losing to Melrose 6-1, 6-3.

Ikttesh, a native of Chandigarh, India, was the lone senior this season. She fin-

ished the fall season with a record of 15-9 and won seven of her last nine doubles matches in the fall. Last Sunday was her last regular season match for the Mountaineers, and while the team did not come away with a win, she did play hard.

“It was a big day for Ik. She played her heart out, and it’s good to see that she did well on her senior day,” said head coach Miha Lisac in an interview with WVUsports.com following Sunday’s match. “We are all looking forward to the conference tournament because this is what we have been aiming for all season.”

West Virginia fell 4-0 against Oklahoma State Sunday, as well. In doubles play, Martinez and Mrgole fell in the No. 3 position to Carla Tur Mari and Maria Alvarez, 6-1. Freshman pair Carolina Lewis and Habiba Shaker lost in the No. 2 spot to Oklahoma State’s Katarina Adamovic and Vladica Babic 6-2.

Similar to Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma, the Cowgirls managed to win three straight singles matches, taking the game victory.

Mrgole lost 6-3 then 6-1 to Viktoriya Lushkova in the No. 1 spot, and Barrett fell at No. 2, 6-3 , 6-1, to Adamovic.

Heading into the Big 12 Tournament Thursday, the Mountaineers had a season record of 9-12 and a conference record of 0-9. The way the tournament bracket was set up, West Virginia faced Oklahoma in the first round.

Coming off of the weekend’s matches it was clear that the outcome may not be good, and the results showed that as well. West Virginia lost to the Sooners Thursday morning, 4-0, in Waco, Texas.

Two losses in doubles play put the Mountaineers behind early once again, but the singles matches brought a tougher fight.

Mrgole struggled against Miyazaki again and fell 6-1, 6-2. In the No. 3 game Chahal finished her senior season losing to OU’s Melrose 6-2, 6-4. Mrgole came out strong in the sevond set of the match and took an early lead, but wasn’t able to hold onto it, losing 6-4.

West Virginia is only losing Chahal this year, as there are four returning freshmen, one sophomore and one junior. The Mountaineers finish their 2015 season with a record of 9-13, 0-10 Big 12. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu
