Huggins’ daughters taunt Dez Wells Continues tradition of criticizing opposing teams on Twitter by taylor jobin staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The daughters of West Virginia University Basketball Head Coach Bob Huggins are facing backlash from recent tweets.

On March 22, Jenna Leigh Huggins and Jacqueline Huggins tweeted and yelled raperelated remarks at Maryland senior player, Dez Wells, dur-

ing the West Virginia Maryland Round of 32 NCAA Tournament game.

Wells was expelled from Xavier in 2012 after being accused of sexual assault by a classmate. Less than a month later, however, an Ohio grand jury ruled against any criminal charges levied on Wells and even asked the University to revisit their initial expulsion. Xavier did not and Wells eventually transferred

to Maryland. Wells settled his lawsuit against Xavier in April 2014.

The University released a statement the next day concerning the verbal attacks by the Huggins girls, as Jenna Leigh Huggins is a University employee. She is listed as a program assistant.

The statement read, “We are aware of comments posted on Twitter by one of our employees on Sunday evening during the West Virginia vs. Maryland men’s basketball game. Those comments do not in any way reflect the beliefs and core values of West Virginia Uni-

versity and its Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.

As with all personnel issues, the athletic department will handle this matter internally.

Moving forward, I expect our employees to demonstrate the spirit and sportsmanship that best reflects the West Virginia University Mountaineers.”

The Huggins sisters were seen yelling at Wells during the game and tweeted their remarks as well.

Jenna Leigh Huggins tweeted, “If your religious enough to wear a yamaka to a sporting event, you should be really concerned about the

Women’s basketball team moves on to WNIT semifinals sports writer @dailyathenaeum

All season long, the West Virginia University women’s basketball team thought they were an NCAA Tournament squad. When the day of reckoning came, however, the Mountaineers were left out of the field of 64.

But while West Virginia fell short of that goal this season, it has made the most of its second chance at redefining its season. The Mountaineers have gone all-in on their run in the Women’s NIT, playing some of their best basketball of the season en route to a place in the tournament’s final four.

“I told them ‘man, you guys have played hard the last two games,’” said Mountaineer head coach Mike Carey after Sunday’s come-frombehind quarterfinal win over Villanova. “It’s a shame we didn’t do it a little bit earlier. But I told them also, there are two games to win it all. Heck, we’re here, we might as well try to win the next two games.”

Chronically inconsistent play and a poor road record led to West Virginia’s exclusion from the NCAA Tournament— the first time the Mountaineers have missed out on March Madness since 2009.

But while the Mountaineers weren’t good enough to find a spot in the Big Dance, they were good enough to ensure home court ad-

vantage throughout the NIT, holding serve on a WVU Coliseum floor on which they’ve had most of their success this season.

West Virginia rolled through Buffalo, Hampton and Duquesne in the first three rounds of the tournament, before it meeting with former Big East rival Villanova on Sunday.

Although the Mountaineers trailed by four with 30 seconds to go, West Virginia dramatically forced overtime and pulled out a 75-70 win.

The Mountaineers sit just two wins shy of their first-ever postseason tournament victory, and Carey said he’s seen his team get more and more focused as it continues to pick

Alum couple donates art pieces to WVU Art Museum by rachel mcbride staff writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University alumnus Harvey Peyton and his wife, Jennifer Peyton, recently donated several art pieces to West Virginia University’s new art museum.

Harvey and Jennifer Peyton presented “Confrontation at the Bridge” by African American artist Jacob Lawrence, along with several other works of art to the Art Museum of WVU during an event last Thursday. The donations included pieces that speak of social and racial injustice

from the 1930s to the 1960s.

One of the pieces by Lawrence displays marchers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., during one of the three civil rights voting marches. This march marks the 50th anniversary of the civil rights march also known as “Bloody Sunday.”

Joyce Ice, director of the WVU Art Museum, said she believes each of these pieces of artwork hold individual significance.

“The significance of the pieces is that they are not only powerful artistically, but the theme of social justice that they depict is also important,” Ice said.

OUTlaw, a West Virginia University advocacy group for LGBT individuals and allies, will host LGBT Civil Rights Attorney Beth Littrell Wednesday at the WVU College of Law. Littrell played a significant role in winning marriage equality in West Virginia. She is currently a senior attorney for Lambda Legal in Atlanta, where she has been involved in varied litigation for same sex couples, including litigation relating to marriage, custody rights, First Amendment disputes and employment and disability discrimination.

Lambda Legal is a nonprofit organization that relies solely on contributions from supporters around the country. Founded in 1973, Lambda Legal’s mission is to achieve full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and those with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work. The nonprofit is currently the oldest and largest national legal organization in the country.

During the event, Littrell

will discuss concerns pertaining to housing, employment, parental inequality, as well as other advocacy issues within the LGBT community. According to Brown Holston, president of OUTlaw, this event will be beneficial to both straight and LGBT attendees.

“Now that we have marriage equality, we don’t want people to think that there’s nothing left to do,” Holston said. “It is in everyone’s best interest that the LGBT community is treated like everyone else.”

OUTlaw hopes through this event, advocates will gain insight into LGBT individuals and lifestyles.

“Our purpose is to foster communication for the LGBT and the straight community,” Holston said.

The event will be held 7 p.m. April 1 in the WVU College of Law event hall. Light refreshments will be served before and after the event.

Admission to the event is free and open to the public. For more information about OUTlaw or the event, visit http://law.wvu.edu/ student-life/student-orgs/ outlaw. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Expert to talk at WVU of impact World Wars had by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Today’s lecture, “The Great War 100 Years On: A Transnational Approach,” is set to give the audience a broader, more encompassing view of World War I. Hosted by the West Virginia University Department of History, the lecture will be headed by Jay M. Winter, the Charles J. Stille professor of history at Yale University, who has written several books on the subject.

Winter was also a part of a PBS series in 1996 on World War I entitled “The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century.”

“Jay Winter is somebody who’s been writing about the First World War for decades now,” said Robert Blobaum, Eberly rofessor of history at West Virginia University. “And he’s looked at the Great War from a British perspective, onto the study of the memory of the war and the study of urban areas, particularly cap-

Now, he’s going more towardsa transnational perspective on the First World War and its legacy over the 20th Century.”

Blobaum explained the transnational perspective Winter will be focusing on in his lecture.

“Traditionally, the war is thought of as being fought in the trenches, particularly on the Western Front,” Blobaum said. “But actually, the war was far more global than that. It wasn’t con-

1 of NYC explosion victims named BNSF railroad adds NEW YORK (AP) — After two bodies were pulled from the rubble of an apartment building collapse, authorities shifted their focus to the cause of the massive explosion and fire and investigated the possibility that someone might have improperly tapped a gas line serving one of the buildings.

“There’s reason to believe so far that there may have been inappropriate tampering with the gas lines within the building, but until we get full evidence, we can’t conclude that,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday.

About half the site had been cleared by midday Monday, but investigators had not yet reached the cellar level where Thursday’s explosion took place.

“When we reach the level of the gas piping, the way the debris is removed will change so that those who will investigate the mechanics of what happened will have access to that without it being torn apart,” Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said.

The mayor’s office said Monday that one victim has been officially identified as 23-year-old Nicholas Figueroa. The bowling alley worker was on a date at a restaurant when the explosion and fire leveled three buildings.

DNA testing will be done to identify the second body that was recovered Sunday.

Iran nuclear talks near deadline; differences remain LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program reached a critical phase Monday with diplomats struggling to overcome substantial differences just a day before a deadline for the outline of an agreement.

With Tuesday’s target date for a framework accord just hours away, the top diplomats from the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany were meeting with Iran to try to bridge remaining gaps and hammer out an understanding that would serve as the basis for a final accord to be reached by the end of June.

“We are working late into the night and obviously into tomorrow,” said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been meeting with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif in Lausanne

since Thursday in an intense effort to reach a political understanding on terms that would curb Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

“There is a little more light there today, but there are still some tricky issues,” Kerry said. “Everyone knows the meaning of tomorrow.”

Kerry and others at the table said the sides have made some progress, with Iran considering demands for further cuts to its uranium enrichment program but pushing back on how long it must limit technology it could use to make atomic arms. In addition to sticking points on research and development, differences remain on the timing and scope of sanctions removal, the officials said.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Iran’s expectations from

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — BNSF has started taking additional safety measures for crude oil shipments because of four recent high-profile derailments in the U.S. and Canada, the railroad said Monday.

Under the changes, BNSF is slowing down crude oil trains to 35 mph in cities with more than 100,000 people and increasing track inspections near waterways. The Fort Worth, Texas, based railroad also is stepping up efforts to find and repair defective wheels before they can cause derailments.

BNSF spokesman Michael Trevino said these additional safety efforts were imposed last week in response to the recent derailments, including one involving a BNSF train earlier this month near Galena, Illinois, and the Mississippi River.

“The recent incidents involving crude trains, including our own event in Galena, has led us to believe that we must take further action,” Trevino said.

In February, a 100-car Canadian National Railway train hauling crude oil and petroleum distillates derailed in a remote part of Ontario, Canada. And less than two days later, a 109-car CSX oil train derailed and caught fire near Mount Carbon, West Virginia, leaking oil into a Kanawha River tributary and burning a house to its foundation.

The worst of these crude oil derailments happened July 6, 2013, and involved a runaway train that killed 47 people in the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec, just across the U.S.-Canada border from Maine.

The number of rail accidents remains relatively small compared to total rail traffic, but fiery accidents involving crude oil are increasing because U.S. and Canadian oil production is booming.

Railroads hauled 493,126 tank cars of crude oil last year, up from 407,761 in 2013 and just 9,500 cars in 2008 before boom took off in the Bakken region of North Dakota and Montana as well as in Canada.

Continued from page 1 up steam in the WNIT. “Right before our first game, our first two practices were terrible,” Carey said. “We acted like we didn’t want to be here and all that. I didn’t know what we were going to do in the first game. And then our practices got a little bit better for the second game and then leading into Duquesne, they had pretty much bought into it.”

Along the way, Carey has counted on strong performances from his seniors: Starting point guard Linda Stepney and forwards Averee Fields and Crystal Leary. As the three try to finish their collegiate ca-

BNSF, which is owned

by Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc., hauls much of the oil produced in the Bakken region.

Trevino said the railroad had already doubled the frequency of track inspections near waterways; now it will inspect the track 2.5 times more often than regulations require.

BNSF, like the other major freight railroads, uses a system of trackside detectors to identify wheels and axles that are beginning to fail. Trevino said the railroad will begin removing flawed wheels sooner to help prevent derailments.

These new BNSF efforts go beyond the voluntary measures railroads agreed to last year when the industry pledged to slow crude oil trains to 40 mph in metropolitan areas and report route information to emergency responders.

“The freight rail industry shares the public’s concern over recent high-profile incidents and we recognize, as part of a shared responsibility with shippers, more has to be done to further advance the safe movement of this product,” said Ed Greenberg, spokesman for the Association of American Railroads trade group.

Federal regulators are finalizing new standards for the tank cars that carry crude oil and new rules for railroad operations that are expected to be released later this spring.

Representatives of several other major freight railroads said Monday they remain committed to improving the safety of crude oil shipments, but immediate changes aren’t planned at CSX, Union Pacific or Canadian Pacific.

Union Pacific spokesman Aaron Hunt said the railroad will analyze the changes BNSF is making, but it wasn’t planning to make any additional changes until after reviewing the new regulations.

James Bay, Sufjan Stevens, Ludacris & Wale James Bay – The Chaos and The Calm Bringing a breath of fresh air to the music scene, British singer/songwriter James Bay is giving listeners a stellar first taste of his smooth indie swagger. You may have already heard his breakout single “Let It Go,” which has gained serious radio recognition here in the U.S. After two solid EP releases, Bay’s debut album “Chaos and the Calm” was a natural next step for the timeless folk artist.

The album shows off Bay’s killer vocal range, highlighting his delicate melodies and crisp vibrato.

“Chaos and the Calm” flaunts Bay’s soulful side. Mellow guitar tones can be heard throughout the record, most notably on tracks “Need the Sun to Break” and “Move Together.” The album’s second single “Hold Back the River” is quickly gaining popularity and is another “must-listen” for the budding indie hipster. James Bay’s breakout record is available for download today.

Wale – The Album About Nothing “The Album About Nothing” is certainly not about nothing. It’s actually one of Wale’s most creative works to date. His fourth upcoming studio album packs Wale’s personal life and emotion into a seriously unconventional package. With the help from comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Wale uses dialogue and inspiration from “Seinfeld” to craft his personal rhymes on the album. “The Album About Nothing” is said to be a narration of the rapper’s story and lifestyle, giving listeners a deeper look into the suave rapper. With features from established vocalists Jeremih, Usher and J. Cole, Wale’s crisp versing is softened by more mellow harmonies. Don’t miss out on hearing hot track “The Body,” which offers a trance, dream like rap experience for listeners.

Sufjan Stevens – Carrie & Lowell Unconventional is an understatement when describing multi-genre artist Sufjan Stevens. Jumping between electro-pop, acoustic and alternative styles, Stevens keeps listeners on their toes with the release of his new album “Carrie & Lowell.” His quirky personality is translated through his playful, wordy lyrics, telling a unique story on each track. “Carrie & Lowell” is an emotional tribute to Stevens’ mother and stepfather, who are both photographed on the album’s cover. The themed collection tells tales of nostalgia, reminiscing on the blunders and lessons of his childhood. “Carrie & Lowell” is a return to the acoustic side for the artist, after the release of techno-inspired album “The Age of Adz.” His single “Should Have Known Better” is a good representation of Stevens’ whispery charm, which can be heard throughout the record.

Ludacris – Ludaversal Luda is back. It’s been almost five years since Ludacris released an album, making “Ludaversal” a potential game changer for the veteran rap star. Though the album isn’t much of a creative leap, Ludacris gives fans an evolved taste of his O.G. hip-hop swagger.

His lengthy list of collaborators adds an element of surprise on each track, seamlessly meshing in classic R&B and soulful vibes.

Standout track, “Good Lovin,” featuring Miguel, perfectly pairs Luda’s explosive rhymes with Miguel’s moving melodies. Other artists heard on the album include Rick Ross, Cee Lo Green, Big K.R.I.T. and Usher. “Ludaversal” seems to take on a bit of a ‘90s vibe.

Tracks like “Beast Mode” and “Charge It to the Rap Game” give listeners a chill beat to bump to. Overall, “Ludaversal” proves this rap master still has it.

WVU Opera Theatre to perform fairytale classic ‘Hansel and Gretel’

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The classic tale of “Hansel and Gretel” will make its way to West Virginia University and local schools in a production by the WVU Opera Theatre.

The story, based on Grimm’s popular fairytale, focuses on brother and sister protagonists Hansel and Gretel as they wander into a forest and stumble upon a house made of gingerbread and sugar windows. After beginning to eat the foundations of the house, the old woman who lives there invites them in for a feast. Little do they know they are about to find themselves in a life-altering predicament.

The opera, originally com-

posed by Engelbert Humperdinck as entertainment for his family, premiered in 1893. The opera was a success instantly and has continued to enchant audiences today.

The WVU production of “Hansel and Gretel” features both graduate and undergraduate vocal performance students alike from the WVU School of Music.

The Music director for the production is Marcello Cormio, stage director is Rebecca Kreider and set design is by William Winsor.

The WVU Opera Theatre production also features scenes from “Donizetti’s L’Elisir D’Amore,” Bernstein’s “Candide” and Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music” and “Into the Woods,” in addition to “Hansel and Gretel.”

After the performances at the Creative Arts Center, the WVU Opera Theatre will take its production to local elementary schools as part of its new program, “Opera-on-Wheels.”

“Children today have fewer and fewer opportunities to see live performances and even fewer live performances of classical music,” Kreider said. “It is an important part of education to introduce classical music and opera to young children.”

The tour will be held from April 8-24 and includes stops at Eastwood Elementary, Brookhaven Elementary, Morgantown Learning Academy, North Elementary, Mylan Park Elementary, Morgantown Christian Academy, Mountainview Elementary, St. Francis El-

ementary, Cheat Lake Elementary and Fairmont Catholic.

“By the end of performances, we see them (the children) engaged and excited by the experience,” Kreider said. “We have the opportunity to ignite their curiosity and creativity before they develop those preconceived ideas of classical music being boring or elitist.”

The cast features different students on different performance days, and includes Natilan Crutcher and Janine Ernsting as Hansel; Jocelyn Raychel and Ruobing Zhao

as Gretel; Devan Balaguer as The Witch; Denise Battle and Caryn Crozier as Mother; Alex Anderson, Luke Diamond and Joe Ryan as Father; and Hannah Friend and Rachel Taylor as Fairy.

Pianists Youna Choi and Giuliana Contreras will be performing with the show.

“As well as the show being a great opportunity for our young audiences, it is also an excellent training ground for our WVU singers, since there is no audience more honest and demanding than an audience of K-5th graders,” Kreider said.

The CAC will be filled with wicked witches, haunting forests and eerie vocals at 7:30 p.m. on the April 1, 2 and 6 performance dates in the Antoinette Falbo Theatre.

Tickets for the performances held at the CAC are $10 for the general public and $5 for senior citizens and WVU students. The group rate, for groups of 10 or more, is $5 per ticket. Tickets are available at TicketMaster, the Creative Arts Center, Mountainlair Box Offices or by calling 304-293-SHOW. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Spring break is over, but what about your motivation levels?

Maybe you made an effort to exercise before spring break because you wanted to look good in a bathing suit.

Now that this extrinsic factor is gone, do you still plan to be active?

Physical appearance can be a poor reason to follow an exercise regimen for many reasons. It can decrease self-esteem if results aren’t seen right away. It can also lead to dangerous exercise and eating habits as you push your body beyond its limit to achieve unreasonable results.

How can you move in a way that enhances your wellbeing?

Try shifting your outlook to: “I want to exercise to feel better—not look better.”

Moving for mental health is a much more sustainable, intrinsic approach to exercise.

If you find an activity that makes you feel happy, you’ll be more likely to continue pursuing it.

Plus, viewing movement as a way of being can produce immediate results. Positive mood changes occur in 5 minutes after an exercise session and can last up to 12 hours.

Exercise can increase your energy levels and alleviate anxiety. It also makes you more likely to feel good about yourself, focus better, sleep better, and be resilient in stressful situations.

What type of exercise is best?

Any activity you enjoy, makes you feel capable, and gives you a sense of control (instead of making you feel like you “have to” exercise) is worth a try. Doing something is better than doing nothing, and you’re more likely to keep moving if you start things off slowly.

Yoga, weightlifting, soccer, basketball, walking—the possibilities are endless.

While moving for mental health is all about what works for you, keep in mind exercise intensity greatly depends on your daily mood.

While not prescriptive, here are some general guidelines.

If you’re feeling frazzled, try sticking to low intensity exercise like yoga or brisk walking as vigorous exercise may increase anxiety levels.

On the other hand, if you feel sluggish, try increasing intensity with a moderate to vigorous workout like strength training, jogging or running.

Feel energized? Try a new activity! Don’t overdo it on a high energy day as this may put you at risk for injury or fatigue.

Whatever you choose to do, it should make you feel good.

Stopping wasteful spending

file photo/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

According to a report by The Dominion Post, West Virginia University spent $60,000 to hire the Parker Executive search firm to find a new dean and director of WVU Extension Services, to then hire the Interim Director Steve Bonanno full-time.

Provost Joyce McConnell was quoted saying this is a midrange amount to spend, and the search was necessary in order to have something to compare the internal candidate.

Sixty thousand dollars is a lot of money to waste for comparison’s sake. While it is very important we have the best possible candidates fulfilling these crucial roles for the University, it is excessive to spend tens of thousands of dollars to find that a man is already doing a good job.

As students, we are di-

rectly affected by the financial decisions of this University. Generally, the price of tuition will increase in accordance with the amount of money it takes to run the University. When WVU spends about the same as three years’ tuition to then decide it was not needed, is not beneficial to students.

Bonanno has served as the interim director since 2011, giving the University ample time to decide whether or not he was the right fit for the task at hand.

There was no need to spend all that money in order to decide what was already being done worked.

As students, we are also invested in the future of the University. Like administration, we should want the best possible people in the decision making roles at WVU. Therefore it would

make sense to cast a wide net in order to look at the options available. But, in the words of McConnell to The Dominion Post, being “very economical” should also be a top priority.

Instead of outsourcing this project for large monetary sums, the University should find a cheaper way to find the highest quality candidates possible by the smallest fiscal means.

There may never be a group consensus on the way the University spends its money or where funds should go; however, we should all at least be able to agree spending $60,000 for nothing is not the wisest of choices. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Pence signing Indiana’s RFRA is shameful and hateful hannah chenoweth columnist @hannahchen2

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed Senate Bill 101, known as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on March 26. Despite intense media opposition, Pence defends his choice to endorse discrimination via the bill.

It is sad, but not unusual, to see those in political power use their influence for a perversion of justice instead of fighting for the protection of it. I believe the RFRA, which takes effect in July, is a clear violation of the separation of church and state—not to mention a regressive and unnecessary measure.

The bill prohibits state laws that “substantially burden” a citizen’s ability to follow his or her religious beliefs; this includes religious institutions, businesses and associations. Basically, any business owner who objects to the way a customer lives their life can deny service to said customer. Pence cited the bill as protection for religious believers who feel their liberty is endangered. He is quoted by the Indy Star as saying: “Many people of faith feel their religious liberty is un-

der attack by government action.”

What about the people who have faith in the good of humankind and progressing as a society in 2015? What about the people actually affected by the bill, who are being told their rights don’t matter if their lifestyle makes business owners “uncomfortable?” These are the real victims, who are now completely without legal protection in Indiana.

The signing of the bill has already seen serious backlash from the media and convention organizers in particular.

The hashtag #boycottindiana was trending on Twitter. Many celebrities took a public stance condemning the bill, including Miley Cyrus. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, announced his refusal to send employees or customers to Indiana. Indianapolis’ largest convention, Gen Con, threatened to take its 56,000 attendees to a different state. Even the NCAA has expressed concerns regarding the Final Four men’s basketball tournament to be held in Indianapolis next week.

And yet, Pence asserts: “This bill is not about discrimination, and if I thought it legalized discrimination in any way in Indiana, I would have ve-

toed it.”

Why then did Pence sign the bill in a private ceremony closed to the media?

This action alone speaks to the wrongness of the situation. If he is going to use his power to encourage hatred in our society, he can at least have the courage to face the public. The guests invited to the private bill signing include many well-known gay marriage opponents, although Pence claims the bill is not targeting the gay and lesbian population.

Supporters of the RFRA fail to recognize a fact so simple it should go unsaid. Baking a cake for a gay customer is not going to deny your acceptance into the pearly gates. Photographing a gay wedding is similarly unrelated to the implications of your afterlife, whatever you believe it may be.

Society would function at its highest level if people would follow the Golden Rule most learn in kindergarten. Treat others as you’d like to be treated, be kind above all and mind your own business; how others live their life is entirely up to them. It’s when you start purposely inflicting pain on others you should worry about the state of your soul.

Knowing this bill is being paid for with taxpay-

abc13.com

ers’ money just adds insult to injury—it’s not as if the homosexuals who will be affected will be exempt. This discrimination is legitimately bought and paid for by those who will receive it—and it’s all legal, endorsed by the person who is supposed to

protect citizens. Pence said making gay and lesbian residents a protected legal class is “not on his agenda.” It’s simply not right.

I sincerely hope the enactment of this bill, and the backlash it has received, ensures Pence no lon-

ger has any chance at the 2016 presidency, which he was considering. Pence’s statement claimed: “This bill is not about discrimination,” but I see no other principle it stands for. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Tip shaming: A new way for wait staff to guilt patrons, compensate wages molly robinson columnist @darthmolly22

Let’s talk about tipping.

I recently read an article about a woman who refuses to tip her waiters or waitresses unless they truly outshine themselves.

Naturally, this received no less than several hundred nasty comments regarding not just her apparent stinginess but also ridiculing the picture of herself she chose to add to the article and even her writing style. Outrage doesn’t even begin to cover the response.

Because I have become indescribably wealthy from writing stimulating opinion columns every week, I find myself heading to restaurants and bars more frequently than I did before I was gainfully employed by The Daily Athenaeum. While I always leave a 15 percent tip – a figure that, after a little research, I find is pretty average – there are times when I feel a bit ripped off for laying down that percentage.

In case you thought I was serious, I’m a typical college student working with a miniscule budget.

DA

galleryhip.com

I don’t have the resources to pay exorbitant tips, but for meals I try to get it together.

The real problem, for me, is at the bar.

Rarely do I get served by wait staff at a bar, which is fine by me – there are plenty of people who will drink more, and therefore pay more, for this service. I

am more than happy to approach the bar and order.

If the drink requires mixing, or even research to do, I don’t have a problem tipping. But if it’s just

a bottle of something that required nothing more than retrieval and opening it, I feel hard pressed to lay down a dollar for a four dollar drink.

Fifteen percent of four dollars is sixty cents – which I realize also looks cheap if I put down a load of coins. Frankly, unless I put down the stupid dollar, I look like a jerk.

I realize tips are integral to the job of a waitress or waiter; I have had several people call me cheap.

This is probably true, but I’m also paying my way through college.

While I have never worked as a waitress, I respect the profession and truly try to make the best effort I can to be a good customer and a respectful tipper. Sometimes that’s 15 percent, and sometimes, as is the case of the bar, it’s not.

But with the dawn of social media, I see plenty of waiter friends on Facebook posting pictures of receipts with 10 percent tips or even no tip whatsoever. Usually this is followed by some long story of how waitressing is a noble art and they are too poor to function without the tip.

Tip shaming is a very real thing, and I’m tired

of it. Does it suck waiters and waitresses get paid below minimum wage to compensate for tips? Absolutely. Several states have developed laws against this, meaning wait staff must be paid at least minimum wage regardless of the tips they bring in at the end of the night.

But minimum wage jobs are also the fastest growing job type in the U.S.— which comes with its own issues, naturally—and we happen to live in a college town that, every four years, effectively clears out its retail workers, cashiers and other minimum wage employees who rarely, if ever, receive the nice tax-free tips waiters and waitresses bring in.

There’s the old adage that if you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to eat out – and I don’t necessarily disagree with this mantra. This is certainly true with the food industry, where significant efforts are and should be made to make sure customers are happy with their food.

But if I’m just ordering a Coke, please don’t make me feel bad for not giving you a tip. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Led Zeppelin releases its deluxe edition of ‘Physical Graffiti’ 40 years after its sixth studio album.

Led Zeppelin releases album after 40 years Ally Litten A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Led Zeppelin rocks again. Forty years after the band’s sixth album “Physical Graffiti” was released in 1975, guitarist Jimmy Page produced a deluxe edition of the album. Released last month, the deluxe edition of “Physical Graffiti” features rough mixes and early versions of songs on the original album. Page remastered the two-part original album and dedicated a third disc featuring seven songs of unheard studio re-

cordings of the band.

“Brandy and Coke” One of the most interesting tracks, “Brandy and Coke” is the initial recording of “Trampled Under Foot.” Robert Plant can’t stop talking about love and neither can I. The recording provides incredible insight to Led Zeppelin that has never been heard before. The band was truly in a creative groove at this point in time. With Plant’s voice, Page on the guitar and Bonzo keeping the bass going, Led Zeppelin was definitely in its prime at the time of this recording.

“Sick Again” An early version of the song, this recording of “Sick Again” is purely instrumental. Page, Bonham and Jones lay down a heavier beat than the final track. However, the lower key complements the album’s serious, solemn tone.

“In My Time of Dying” Although this is the initial, rough mix, the track sounds incredible. Very few changes were made to the song for the final cut. The initial track has a shorter ending but otherwise it is very close to the final song.

This song is a perfect exam-

ple of how in sync Led Zeppelin was during this time period.

“Houses of the Holy” A rough mix with overdubs, this version of “Houses of the Holy” also sounds similar to the final track, but is heavier. I personally prefer the final edit of this song; however, this track gives insight to fans regarding how Led Zeppelin wrote and edited its songs.

“Everybody Makes It Through” The early version of “In the Light,” this track is much lighter than the final version. I loved this version of the song. With a play-

ful, simple beginning, this song is much more unique when compared to the typical hard rock the band was putting out at the time.

“Boogie With Stu” The newly released version of this song features an alternate beginning to this peppy track. The mandolin solo in the middle is also used in the beginning to this mix. The stereo mix is also different when compared to the final song. The mandolin intro enhances the spirited vibe of this song.

“Driving Through Kashmir” One of Led Zeppelin’s

greatest hits, “Kashmir,” was once titled “Driving Through Kashmir.” With very few differences between the rough orchestra mix and the final version, the biggest difference between these two tracks is the name of the track.

All in all, this is a musthave album for Zeppelin fans. In its prime, Led Zeppelin was considered a more private band. However, the deluxe version of “Physical Graffiti” gives an insight of Led Zeppelin’s intimacy in the studio fans have never heard before. daa&e@mail.wvu.educ

AP

Q&A with new ‘Daily Show’ host NEW YORK (AP) ‑ The deal was done only last week, says Trevor Noah, the 31-year-old South African comedian who will take over “The Daily Show” from longtime host Jon Stewart.

Shortly after Comedy Central made the news official Monday, Noah, on a standup comedy tour, discussed his new gig by phone from Dubai.

T H E A S S O C I AT E D PRESS: How do you feel to be taking over soon from Stewart?

TREVOR NOAH: I don’t think of taking over. I’m joining the team. It’s a huge ship that has won Emmys and Peabodys for a reason, because it’s a fantastic team of writers and producers working to make that show magic. I get to be a part of that now as the host and a face, sharing that space with my fellow correspondents. I feel really confident. All I needed in my life was Jon’s blessing.

That’s what I have, so I’m looking forward to being part of `The Best Damn News Show in the World’!

AP: You have a much different background than Stewart. How will that affect the show?

TN: One thing we both share: We are both progressives. Obviously where you’re from may inform a lot of your decisions. But traveling the world I’ve learned that progressives, regardless of their locations, think in a global space. And although I happen to be a guy who’s not from the same place that Jon’s from, I’ve lived in America for years before I went back out on the road, and I’ve learned to love the place. I’ll bring something different because I am different, but because it’s a team, it’ll be the same as well.

AP: You may not have heard: There’s a big U.S. election coming up. Are you looking forward to addressing that on the show?

TN (laughing): I love the drama around it! That’s going to be fascinating to be part of, this time. And that’s the environment `The Daily Show’ thrives in, taking that information and deciphering it and

getting it out to everybody in a way that’s not biased in any way, hopefully, where you’re going, “This is the bare bones of what you need to know and how you need to know it, in the funniest way possible.”

AP: Although Stewart has called it a “fake news show,” a lot of people do rely on “The Daily Show” as a primary news source.

Will that continue?

TN: When you are honest in your comedy, you have to acknowledge the world that you’re in.

Through a comedic voice you’re talking about what needs to be talked about, whether it’s race relations or politics or anything that’s happening on a global or an American scale. That’s exactly the space “The Daily Show” is in.

AP: The late-night talk/ comedy realm is pretty crowded. How do you feel to be going up against all that competition?

TN: “Against” is a very strong term. Maybe it’s because I come from a very utopian world of being a comedian, but I’m used to many live comedy performances going on in any city I’m in, and each of us is trying to be the best at what we do. I don’t think of it as a competition so much as a thriving comedy economy. And now I’m joining on a show with one of the best teams in the world.

AP: How involved will Stewart be in the show once you arrive?

TN: What’s great for me is, I have in him a mentor and a friend who I can call on, who can give me advice - a fellow comedian, at the end of the day.

KENTUCKY-ED

nick golden/the daily athenaeum

Senior Gary Browne puts his head down on Coach Bob Huggins’ chest during last Thursday’s game against Kentucky.

West Virginia makes run in Sweet 16, loses to undefeated No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats, 78-39 by ryan petrovich sports writer @dailyathenaeum

CLEVELAND, OHIO — West Virginia was outsized, outmatched and outplayed last Thursday in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Mountaineers fell behind early and never recovered. Kentucky steamrolled West Virginia 7839 to remain perfect and advance to the Elite Eight.

Devin Williams picked up two personal fouls in the early minutes of the contest. That forced head coach Bob Huggins to bench West

Virginia’s primary forward.

With Williams on the bench, the Mountaineers turned to jump shots.

“I don’t know, I guess for me I picked up two early fouls and kind of let that frustrate me, and I think that’s just a little maturity on my side. I got a little bit more growing up to do and things like that,” Williams said. “They got a game plan and they went by and they stuck by and they just had a very balanced night tonight, the whole team.”

All season long the Mountaineers struggled to shoot the ball, but against Kentucky, West Virginia’s woes

were magnified.

West Virginia went 13-54 (24 percent) from the floor and 2-15 (13 percent) from beyond the arc.

For the Wildcats it was the complete opposite. Kentucky, for the game, went 24-50 (48 percent) from the floor and 4-15 (26 percent) from beyond the arc.

“They were what I thought they were,” Huggins said. “I thought they were the best offensive team in the country. Everybody kind of gets caught up in their size and all that, which is certainly a part of it, but to get those guys to play as hard and to play together the way they do, I mean, you look down

there, you’ve got guys that, you know, are going to be lottery picks that they give the ball up, they share the ball.”

With size and excellent shooting, the Wildcats were almost invincible and looked very much like an undefeated team with multiple NBA talents on the roster.

West Virginia relied on defense all season. The full court press wore most teams down, but Kentucky seemed immune the entire game.

The Wildcats committed only 10 turnovers all game.

Kentucky effortlessly broke the press as the team’s towering size allowed them to hold the ball high and

fling it over the heads of Huggins’ small guards.

The loss cut deep for the two senior West Virginia guards Juwan Staten and Gary Browne, who walked off the court wearing the old gold and blue for one last time.

Staten draped a towel over his hanging head as he walked off the hardwood, while Browne sat outside his locker weeping into a towel, not looking up for even a second.

Many didn’t expect the Mountaineers to make it this far back when the season began, and while a victory over Kentucky would have certainly made jaws drop, the

entire season can’t be categorized as a total failure.

“I think we put West Virginia basketball back on the map,” Staten said. “We only have a couple seniors graduating, so the bulk of the team is coming back.

You can definitely look forward to them being in the tournament for years to come.”

There’s a lot of promise in the youth surrounding this West Virginia team, but the young guns were no match for a one-of-a-kind Kentucky team that appears to be on its way to making history. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Everybody needs to cut Daxter Miles Jr. a break Connor Murray sPORTS writer @dailyathenaeum

People have been talking about Daxter Miles for all the wrong reasons in the last few days. Sure, some of it he brought on himself, but

when did we decide it was a bad thing for an athlete to believe in himself and his teammates?

Guaranteeing victory against Kentucky was brash.

It was confident. It was ripe with bravado. Is that not what the fans had come to love about this West Virginia team over the course of the season?

Is that not what you wanted?

You don’t get to switch sides now that the chickens have come home to roost.

Just because Miles and his team could not deliver on his prediction does not give anyone license to jump ship on the kid.

After all, that’s what he is.

He’s a freshman who was

asked to step into a leadership role when senior guards Juwan Staten and Gary Browne went down. All year head coach Bob Huggins praised his freshmen for being true leaders on this team, and that is a lot of weight on the shoulders of someone who is a year removed from playing prep school basketball.

Following Staten’s injury, Miles made his presence felt not just in the locker room, but on the court as well. He took full advantage of his increased playing time, averaging 10 points a night over the last seven games of the season, including his goose egg against Kentucky, and bringing high energy play on offense and defense.

Over the course of the last month of the season, Daxter Miles became what he needed to be for this team: A mouthpiece. He’s the drop a 3-pointer in your face and tell you about it all the way down the floor kind of guy.

And whether you like it or not, every team needs that guy. Basketball isn’t always as clean as the Dukes and North Carolinas of the world would have you believe. Trash talk is a part of the game, and when you’re outmatched on paper, like WVU was against Kentucky, sometimes a little jawing can even the playing field.

Clearly this time it didn’t.

Sometimes when you play with the bull you get the horns. That’s the risk you run when you play the game, but that doesn’t mean you were wrong for playing.

It just means your opponent has a strong mental game, and Kentucky seems to be about as level-headed a bunch there is in college basketball this season.

Are you really going to tell me guaranteeing victory before the game causes a 39-point swing? No, let’s be real for a minute here. As a lot of teams are, West Virginia was just outmatched by Kentucky’s size and athleticism.

Blaming Daxter Miles is taking the easy way out. Instead of that, take a step back, analyze the situation through an objective lens, and realize this is going to be a special player for years to come in this program. Ruining his confidence because of this one instance would be a crime. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU faces Pitt for 189th time, seeks seventh-straight by david schlake sports editor @dschlake_wvu

The West Virginia University baseball team will face the Pittsburgh Panthers for the 189th time, as the Mountaineers travel to Pittsburgh, Pa., today for their game at 6 p.m.

The Mountaineers will be looking for their 16th win of the season and their seventh win in a row, as they managed to sweep Charleston Southern this past weekend, giving them a 15-10 overall record.

Pitt (11-15) on the other hand, welcomes West Virginia onto the Charles L. Cost Field after being swept by North Carolina State last weekend, giving the Panthers a 4-8 conference record.

The Mountaineer offense has found a spark over the last several outings, scoring a combined 54 runs during its six-game winning streak.

Freshman second baseman Kyle Davis, senior third baseman Justin Fox, senior shortstop Taylor

Munden and sophomore outfielder Shaun Wood continue to lead the redhot offensive attack. Davis is currently hitting .356 with eight doubles, two homeruns and 15 RBIs, while Fox follows close behind with .330 average as well as five doubles, one triple, two homeruns and 12 RBIs. Munden and Wood have served as the muscle behind the operation, as Munden has seven homeruns and eight double on top of his .324 average, and Wood leads the team with 23 RBIs. The Mountaineers have yet to host a game since the commencement of the 2015 season, but they’ve finally gotten a taste of familiar air, as they’ve now played four games in Washington, Pa.—all of which they won. Pittsburgh will be the Mountaineers’ last stop in the neighborhood until their first home game of the season April 10.

rowing

WVU rowing heading toward bright Big 12 future by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Rowing is just another sport that gets mediocre attention at West Virginia University. For most college students, knowledge of football and basketball usually comes as secondnature at a Division I school where teams compete at the highest level in the Big 12.

For some of the sports with less media coverage and fan support such as gymnastics, rifle or rowing, unless one of these are their respective favorites, most sports fans have little to no clue how these sports work.

To give a brief overview of collegiate rowing, a typical women’s team, such as the one at West Virginia, is broken down into two

squads, novice and varsity. The novice squad usually consists of athletes with less experience who are still in the beginning stages of learning the proper techniques and earning the physical abilities to portray them properly. The novice squad comes along to participate in a limited number of events for the Mountaineers. However, this part of the team is a significant addition to future success.

For the varsity squad, most rowing is done at the highest level and with the greatest technique. Most of the rowers have ample experience and understand the key components that make their boat a “well-oiled machine,” figuratively. The rowing team also consists of one of the largest rosters among competitive sports. This

year’s varsity squad roster holds 40 women, including 10 seniors. Jimmy King is the head coach and is currently in his eighth season at West Virginia.

Although rowing may be perceived by many as an upper body sport, that is a false assumption. Most of the power created by a rower to propel the shell or bowloader (boat) comes from the legs. Each athlete spends numerous hours per week working out and training in the weight room before they even hit the water. The art of rowing itself comes from strokes made up of four parts; catch, drive, finish and recovery. Teamwork makes the ultimate difference. Each team member must be in sync in order for the boat to move in the way it’s meant to move.

Both the varsity and novice squads took an annual trip to Florida back in January to train for the upcoming season. Cocoa Beach consisted of the perfect, unfrozen waters needed to allow the team to train while also creating a bond between novice and varsity squads while implementing a new sense of teamwork.

The women’s rowing team recently opened its 2015 spring slate with a competition on the Potomac River in Washington D.C., capturing a first-place finish, two third-place finishes and a runner-up. Thus far, this team is seemingly one of the best women’s rowing teams to don the old gold and blue in recent years with a bright future ahead as the season continues.

The team also competed

in three other events, all in 2014 as part of the Regatta schedule, including one in Pittsburgh which concluded with three top-10 finishes in the Open 8+ event, which earned a silver medal at the Head of the Ohio. The first boat earned a second-place finish out of 17 total boats.

The second boat grabbed a fourth-place finish and West Virginia’s third boat finished ninth.

In their second competition in the top-half of the season back in November, the Mountaineers posted two top-five finishes in the Women’s Collegiate Novice 4+ event which earned them a silver and bronze medal at the Head of the Occoquan in Virginia. Both the Novice and Varsity squads competed.

The novice squad solely

participated in the third competition, a head-tohead scrimmage against Duquesne, where it won all five pieces on the Monongahela River. This marked the end of the novice squad’s season. Only the varsity squad participates in the spring competitions.

The next home competition for the rowing team will be against Duquesne on April 19, beginning at the WVU Boathouse located in Morgantown’s Wharf District along the Monongahela River. Before then, the team will compete at Indiana on April 4 and in the Knecht Cup Regatta in N.J., beginning April 11. The Big 12 Championships will begin May 16 in Tennessee. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

gymnastics

West Virginia comes in second at Big 12s by nicole curtin

associate sports editor @nicolec_wvu

Over spring break, the West Virginia University gymnastics team competed in the Big 12 Championships in Norman, Okla. Only three teams in the conference have gymnastics programs, so the Mountaineers went in facing No. 1 Oklahoma and Iowa State.

West Virginia finished in second place with a score of 195.025, the highest finish during the team’s three years in the Big 12 thus far. The Sooners won their fourth straight Big 12 title with a score of 197.875 and the Cyclones came in third place with 194.775.

The Mountaineers finished in second place on the vault and beam with scores of 49 and 48.525 respectively, and third on the floor and bars with 49 and

48.5 respectively. Senior Dayah Haley competed in the all-around position for the second-straight year and came in second place with a score of 38.95, behind Iowa State’s Haylee Young.

In the first rotation West Virginia started on the uneven bars, an event that has grown stronger over the course of the season for the team. Sophomore Alexa Goldberg scored a 9.825 taking sixth place and freshman Zaakira Muhammad hit a 9.725 tying for ninth place.

Going into the second rotation with a 48.5 score, the Mountaineers took on the beam. Freshman Jordan Gillette took seventh place with a 9.775, while junior Melissa Idell and senior Beth Deal both hit a 9.7 and tied for 10th place.

For the third rotation, West Virginia had the floor—a lineup that was

ranked No. 21 in the nation at the time and now sits at No. 23. Haley anchored the event and hit a 9.85, which earned her a spot at fifth place. Idell and sophomore Mackenzie Myers tied at 10th place with a 9.8 from each gymnast.

On the vault event the Mountaineers finished with a 49. Junior Jaida Lawrence hit a 9.85 tying for fourth place; freshman Amanda Bowman took seventh place with a career high 9.825; sophomore Nicolette Swoboda tied for eighth with a 9.8; and Haley came in 10th place scoring a 9.775.

With these post-season results, three different Mountaineers are ranked in their events nationally and the floor lineup is sitting at No. 23. Haley ranks No. 31 on the floor with a 9.89 regional qualifying score, she has been ranked for seven-straight weeks

now. Idell is not far behind her at spot No. 38 on the floor with a 9.885 RQS and Goldberg is ranked No. 46 on the uneven bars with a 9.87 RQS. West Virginia ranks second in the Big 12 Conference on the vault and floor, and third on bars and beam, with a No. 3 overall ranking for the league. Following the performances at the conference meet and the national rankings posted by the team, the Mountaineers are qualified to enter the 2015 NCAA Regional Championships.

WVU is hosting this year’s Morgantown Regional Championships, which will be held Saturday at the Coliseum. The other teams participating in the meet are No. 2 Florida, No. 11 Stanford, No. 14 Illinois, No. 19 Arkansas and New Hampshire. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu
