City Council talks 2014-15 budgetby hannah wigal

staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Morgantown City Coun-cil regular Tuesday meeting fo-cused primarily on the city bud-get and a resolution to submit a letter of intent to the National Safety Council.

The first item of new business on the agenda was the consid-eration of approval for the first reading of an ordinance by the

council to adopt the annual bud-get for the City of Morgantown for the 2014-15 Fiscal Year.

City Manager Jeff Mikorski out-lined an updated version of the 2014-15 budget that will be ef-fective July 1.

The $25 million budget will in-clude funds from taxes, licenses and permits, charges for services, surveillance, fines and forfeitures.

The council members dis-cussed the budget, and the first reading was unanimously ap-

proved by the council with a 7-0 vote.

Mikorski said there was a rec-ommendation of an increase of funds to consider in future budgets.

A $65,000 increase was recom-mended for improvements for the sidewalks throughout the city of Morgantown.

Sixth Ward Council member Mike Fike addressed the council about the increasing need for pe-destrian safety.

“It has been reported that 20 percent of people in Morgantown depend on pedestrian avenues to get them to and from work, home and class,” Fike said. “I would like to challenge city administration and the council to earmark some of the revenue coming in for pe-destrian improvements.”

There was also a recommen-dation of an increase of $30,000 in funds to improve recreational parks throughout the city.

The second resolution dis-

cussed involved the city submit-ting a letter of intent to the Na-tional Safety Council to become a U.S. designated safe community.

The resolution also endorses the City’s participation in the safe community collaborative effort and was passed without question by the council with a 7-0 vote.

“I just want to thank the per-sons from WVU who brought this forward,” said Seventh Ward

A day in the life of an SGA campaigner

by Sam boSSerman & laUra haight

da staff @dailyathenaeum

Student Government Association Board of Gov-ernors candidate Hayley Harman has woken up ev-ery morning the past week ready to tackle the daunt-ing task of campaigning for student government at West Virginia University.

Harman said her day be-gins by getting herself into the elections mind-set, which involves preparing herself to talk to countless strangers about her cam-paign platform.

According to Harman, the task of talking to stu-dents isn’t too difficult once you have the right at-titude. However, she also said she tries not to bother students who do not want to talk about SGA.

“I don’t really like to ha-rass people, and some-times campaigning bor-ders on harassment,” Harman said. “I like to greet people, see how they react to it, and then if I feel like I’m not going to bother them, I’ll walk with them and explain my platform.”

SGA hopefuls weigh-in on demands of campaign trail

wVU students to attend Cannes Film Festival in France

by alexiS randolphstaff writer

@dailyathenaeum

Students passing through the Mountainlair see hun-dreds of flyers and advertise-ments daily. It only takes one of these flyers to spark an in-terest that may change a stu-dent’s life.

This is what happened to Kevin Langue, a junior mar-keting student. Langue was shown a flyer for the Campus Movie Fest, the world’s larg-est student movie festival, and he knew it was some-thing he wanted to do.

Now Langue is headed to Cannes, France, thanks to a student film his group, Sug-arK Productions, made dur-ing the two-week competi-

tion. The group took a week to plan, and according to contest rules, they had only one week to film the movie.

“I wasn’t really up for it at first. If I was going to make a movie, I wanted to make it really good,” Langue said. “I was joking around saying ‘What are we going to do, make a movie about us try-ing to make a movie?’, and that is what we ended up doing.”

WELLWVU celebrates sleepWELL monthby taylor mCSorley


WELLWVU: The Stu-dents’ Center of Health held its first sleepWELL event of the semester in the Mountainlair Tues-day. Students were wel-come to come up to the tables and learn about the importance of getting quality sleep.

“March is sleepWELL month for West Virginia University, and our main slogan is ‘same time, same place, 8.0.’ We know stu-dents are (sleeping), but they may not be getting enough of it and it may not be of quality,” said Jor-dan McCann, MPH grad-uate student and WELL-WVU health educator.

SleepWELL is intended to help encourage WVU students to practice healthy sleeping habits and to give them ways to fall asleep easier, whether that means reading differ-ent literature or removing distracting things from their environment.

“A lot of students like to study in their bed or watch TV, which really isn’t (conducive) to them falling asleep. And when they do fall asleep, it isn’t really quality sleep,” said Clayton Allison, a WELL-WVU health educator. “We understand that people like to fall asleep with the TV on, but there are other alternatives, because a TV produces light and differ-ent sounds still stimulate your brain. And it can dis-

rupt your sleep patterns.”Most people need seven

to eight hours of sleep a night. However, some peo-ple need as little as five and others as much as 10. Sleep needs also vary from night to night according to how much brain func-tion is utilized. A long day of studying would call for a longer night sleep.

“I think studying and living in general gets in the way of sleep, so it’s pretty difficult to get eight hours every night,” said Joy Parks, a se-nior exercise physiology student.

Odd sleep patterns or lack of sleep can lead to increased mood swings, anger, depression or anx-iety and lower grades, at-

tention or memory. “I can definitely no-

tice how much I pay at-tention in class after not having a good night’s sleep the night before,” said Haley Lucas, a junior communications student. “I find myself just playing on my phone in class or sometimes I just have to skip class because I am so tired.”

WELLWVU representa-tives said short naps are a great way to give students a boost in the middle of the day, but they should only last between 30-45 minutes.

a lot of misfortune along the way.

Langue said they took about five hours of footage for their five-minute movie.

“We went out every day and had schedules for every-one one day we would go to the church and film a scene, the next day we would be at the Lair filming a scene,” he said. “There was constant filming. There are hours of bloopers.”

“The B Team” won best film at the WVU Campus Movie Festival The film was then submitted to the Holly-wood CMF, which the group will attend in June.

Langue then received an email inviting them to the Cannes International Film

Festival. “We got the call last

Wednesday saying our film had been selected to go,” Langue said. “It was confus-ing. We had thought the best 30 from Hollywood go to Cannes. So I called CMF, and they told me we were selected for this year’s Cannes Festival.”

Langue said he believes they are the first West Virginia University students to be in-vited to the prestigious movie festival.

“It’s really amazing be-cause you never think these things could happen to you,” he said. “For me I’ve always loved making films, and this is a great way for us to leave our mark.”

Langue said he is seeking help with funding for the trip to Cannes and looks forward to the opportunities it pres-ents him.

“The biggest thing for me is

networking. I want to get out there and meet directors and producers and get as much from the industry as I can,” he said. “I want to come back with a lot of phone numbers and be able to use them when I graduate.”

Derek Andreini, a ju-nior biochemistry student, is Langue’s roommate and a part of the SugarK Produc-tion team. He said he was sur-prised when Langue told him about Cannes’.

“Kevin actually sent me a screenshot of the email, and it was like out of all these films from across the coun-try, you’ve been selected,” An-dreini said. “It almost didn’t seem real. It was exciting, but at the same time I had so many questions.”

Langue and Andreini are two of only 26 people from the CMF organization who will at-tend the Cannes Festival.

Andreini said he is proud to represent WVU at the festival.

“It feels great. It definitely feels good going over to Cannes, which is such a huge place, and saying, ‘Hey we are from WVU,’” Andreini said. “We are going to represent ev-eryone here well.”

He said he hopes to gain a lot of experience and knowl-edge from his time abroad.

“I’m expecting a lot of things out of it, but I think it is going to be even more than what I am expecting,” he said. “This is really an experience, once in a lifetime filled with tons of celebrities and meet-ing different types of people. It’s going to be a whole differ-ent world.”

mornings this elections cy-cle passing out campaign-ing materials and explain-ing to students what she will do in SGA if elected.

Harman said in her ex-perience, students have been for the most part will-ing to talk to her about their opinions, especially in the morning when they aren’t so rushed to get to class.

“Some people will just take whatever you’re hand-ing out to get you to stop bothering them,” she said. “But a good amount of the people have a lot to say and just need to be asked about their opinions.”

After a few hours of morning campaigning, Har-man takes a break from the elections and goes to class. She said it’s important for those running for SGA to go to class because as students, academics should be their first priority.

“I don’t think you can be the best representation (of the student body) you can be without having a back-ground as a good student first,” she said.

There is little time left in between campaigning and

classes, and Harman said she usually just grabs a cof-fee and a Rice Krispies Treat from JACS for breakfast in order to avoid wasting pre-cious time eating.

Harman said she has had food brought to her by loyal friends while out campaign-ing, so she does not have to skip a beat for lunch.

“My best friend Evan brought me pizza last week, so I was out campaigning with pizza in one hand, cof-fee in the other, all while talking to students,” she said.

Campaigning does not stop at lunchtime, and BOG candidate Liz Barnhart is no stranger to working well into the night.

Barnhart’s day starts by meeting with her ticket at 7:30 a.m. in Hatfield’s and by 1 p.m., she’s still going strong campaigning.

Her favorite place to cam-paign is at the Student Rec-reation Center because she said students are more relaxed.

“Downtown is like a bloodbath,” she said. “It’s hard to talk to people there.”

Barnhart said she’s stayed positive through the entire campaigning experience by not taking anything per-sonally and not letting mean students affect her.

“Today is the first day people have flat out told me no,” Barnhart said. “Last week people were very re-ceptive even if they knew they were voting for the other ticket.”

She said when people tell her no she laughs and moves on to the next stu-dent. She said meeting peo-ple is her favorite part about campaigning.

“It doesn’t get me down. I don’t let it phase me,” Barn-hart said.

She said it’s been diffi-cult trying to find the bal-ance between campaigning, classes, and basic needs. Other members on her ticket had a lot of midterms last week, but she didn’t have as much of a burden.

“I honestly really lucked out,” Barnhart said. “I have a test tomorrow, but I really didn’t have anything else due.”

Every day she cam-paigns next to the oppos-ing ticket but said they stay friendly with each other. She was drinking a hot choco-late given by a candidate from the other ticket to stay warm.

“We’re cordial with each other,” Barnhart said. “It’s not going to be a straight ticket vote, so we have to be nice to each other because

half of us will be sitting on the board together.”

Around 2:30 p.m. her knees start to give out, so she has to campaign by sit-ting on a bench to give her legs a break.

“It’s physically demand-ing on your body,” she said.

Barnhart said the cam-paign has been exhausting, and it’s almost all she can think about at night. She goes to sleep around mid-night and wakes up around 6:30 a.m. the next day. Her nights are restless because she is so anxious about the election.

Barnhart said she spends around 20-30 hours a week campaigning, and this week specifically she’ll be out ev-eryday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. to get people to vote.

“Campaigning is a full-time job,” she said.

She said she misses the normal aspects of her life such as being able to hang out with her friends and having time to exercise. She said the first thing she will do after the election is over is to catch up on sleep.

“You appreciate the little things more, like when you can sleep in until 10 a.m.,” Barnhart said. “I just can’t wait to sleep. Sleep is great.”

A group of West Virginia University students have come together to form a club that will help the state‘s literacy rate.

Literacy Volunteers of Monongalia and Preston Counties, a nonprofit or-ganization that helps im-prove the literacy rates in West Virginia, has inspired students to start a club that recruits volunteers.

The new club, Friends of Literacy Volunteers, plans

to raise awareness of the il-literate adults and interna-tional students across the University and state.

Nathaniel Collins, pres-ident of Friends of Liter-acy Volunteers, said the director of Literacy Volun-teers of Monongalia and Preston Counties wanted a voice that would gather volunteers.

“The director of Literacy Volunteers felt there was no group already to help orga-nize current volunteers and recruit new ones,” Collins said. “Our goal is to raise awareness of the poor lit-

eracy rates in West Virginia and to help international students improve their English skills and Ameri-can culture.”

Collins said a large pop-ulation within the state suf-fers from illiteracy but he said he is hoping Friends of Literacy can change that.

“Due to the low popu-lation and poor funding, a good amount of schools in West Virginia don’t have access to a library,” Col-lins said. “Because of this, some counties in West Vir-ginia have 37 percent of the population who can’t read

above a third grade read-ing level. While Mononga-lia County is lower than the national average at 14 per-cent, most other counties are not on that level, and we are trying to change that.”

Nicky Linder, vice presi-dent of Friends of Literacy, said he believes that illiter-acy is a national issue.

“After getting involved, I became very interested in the literacy issues that face not only our state but all of America. Illiteracy is not an issue that is talked about openly,” Linder said. “Peo-ple often feel embarrassed

and ashamed of their in-ability to read and write.

“When people think of literacy issues, they tend to focus more on third-world/developing nations. The truth is, we all know some-one who has trouble with basic literacy skill.”

Linder said he hopes to make a difference by help-ing out individually and by recruiting students to join the cause.

“I would love to open stu-dents’ eyes to the fact that many people our age and older cannot read or write. It would be great to inform students of these issues and recruit future volunteers,” Linder said.

The club is looking for volunteers who will help educate adults and interna-tional students in the area.

Students across US take local Habitat for Humanity spring break challengeby eVelyn merithew


Monongalia County Habitat for Humanity is of-fering its annual Collegiate Challenge, a spring break alternative for students na-tionwide to lend a helping hand and build homes for local families in need.

Sixty-two students are in the process of building two homes this week, both for single mothers.

“The Collegiate Chal-lenge is the opportunity for any high school or col-lege group from across the country to come to our af-filiate or another affiliate and spend their break with us building homes for fam-ilies,” said Brianna Robin-son, director of community

relations and fundraising for Mon. County Habitat for Humanity.

The two homes mark the 43rd and 44th to be built in the county by the non-prof-it’s volunteers.

The students participat-ing in this year’s challenge include 14 students from Boston College, 10 students from Berks Catholic High School in Reading, Pa., 27 students from Illinois State University and 10 students from Kutztown University.

The students are work-ing to complete the houses in Mon. County Habitat for Humanity’s first single-family home housing de-velopment, Jerome Park Place.

Robinson said Mon. County Habitat staff workers speak at a vari-

ety of different organiza-tions throughout the year to make the community aware of the nonprofit’s work.

Families can request a house be built by fill-ing out an application. The application is sent to a selection committee for consideration.

“The selection commit-tee looks for three crite-ria (when selecting can-didates): the need, the family’s willingness to part-ner and the family’s ability to pay,” Robinson said.

The need for Habitat’s assistance includes a fami-ly’s house being too expen-sive for them to afford, an overcrowded environment or substandard conditions such as a leaky roof or un-safe flooring.

To be considered eligi-ble, families, if able, must participate in the Habitat’s Sweat Equity program.

Sweat Equity is a con-tract in which each person 18 and older for whom the home is being built must put in 250 hours of labor into their own house or an-other house being built by the organization.

According to Robinson, they rely heavily on dona-tions for building supplies.

“We do a lot of fundrais-ing throughout the year and partner with organiza-tions for the building ma-terials. Valspar donates all of our paint. Whirlpool ei-ther donates or gives us a big discount for our appli-ances,” she said.

Robinson said the great-est thing about Habitat is

that it is supported entirely by volunteers.

“How fast or how able we are to build these homes depends on the volunteer base we have. We get a lot of help from WVU students and different organizations within WVU,” she said. “We also have help from dif-ferent companies around Morgantown.”

According to Robinson, meeting the partner fami-lies and seeing the smiles on their faces once the homes are completed is what makes volunteering worth it.

The individuals for which the homes are built apply for the program be-cause they want to better their family’s lives as well as their own and have a home to pass along to their

children.“Once you meet the

partner families, you get hooked. You get the Hab-itat bug. The look on (the family’s) face when we turn over the keys, the experi-ence and the appreciation for how many hands have been put into the house is awesome,” Robinson said. “It’s a great program and a great opportunity. These are people who live and work in Mon County. We are building a more sus-tainable community.”

WVU students who would like to get involved with Mon. County Habi-tat, individually or with a group, may contact Brianna Robinson at [email protected]

[email protected]

council member Nancy Ganz. “I think it’s a great opportunity for all of our communities to work to-gether and to look at mak-ing a safer community. It also positions us for grants and other things we will need in the future.”

The next City Council meeting will be held March 18 at 7 p.m. in the Morgan-town Municipal building.

Rock band Daily Grind encourages trip to Pittsburgh for album release

reverbnation.comThe Daily Grind is set to release their debut album

BY LACEY PALMERA&E EDITOR

@LACEYPALMER

The Daily Grind, a Pitts-burgh-native rock band, hopes West Virginia Univer-sity students make the trip up I-79 to hear their music and celebrate their March 14 debut release of “The Green Plan.”

With their combination of alternative rock and hip-hop, Daily Grind is influ-enced by groups such as The Strokes, The Arctic Mon-keys, The Black Keys, Incu-bus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ray Charles, Biggie Smalls and Frank Sinatra, said Brad Hammer, lead vocalist and guitarist for the group.

“(The music is) quick, energetic, funky and in the pocket,” Hammer said. “Al-

ternative rock takes a deep breath of fresh air. It will make you dance.”

Hammer said this is the group’s first full-length album.

“Everything else we’ve put out in the past have been singles and basement demos,” Hammer said. “This record is getting a lot more love than our previ-ous releases, so we’re happy about that. We have a lot of expectations to live up to, so we’re excited to get the re-cord out and see what kind of response we get.”

Although Hammer said the group doesn’t have any immediate plans to play a show in Morgantown, stu-dents should look for the group sometime this fall. They’ll be completing a tour with more than 50 dates

throughout the first half of the year, and they’re look-ing forward to making their first stops along the West Coast.

“We’re on the road until early June, so we’ll probably take a couple weeks off, and then get back on it,” Ham-mer said.

Hammer is accompanied by Matt Majot on bass and vocals, Myles Mahoney on lead guitar and vocals, and Chris Petteys on drums to make up Daily Grind.

“We put on a really fun live show, and the music keeps getting tighter and better,” Hammer said. “It’s worth the trip up if you’re into dancing and drinking, and who’s not into dancing and drinking?”

WVU Symphony Orchestra Concert features three famous composersBY PAwAtChAi

SuwAnkAngkACORRESPONDENT

@DAILYATHENAEUM

West Virginia Univer-sity’s Creative Arts Center was packed for the WVU Symphony Orchestra Con-cert Thursday night.

Most people think we can hear music, but we can-not see it like the other arts, such as paintings. Thursday evening’s concert made us realize, though, that we can actually see it, too – not from the music, but from our own imagination.

The program consisted of three dramatic pieces by three famous compos-ers: Bernard Herrmann,

Einojuhani Rautavaara and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

The concert began with “Suite from Vertigo” by Herrmann, which was composed for the 1958 psychological thriller film, “Vertigo.” While the open-ing movement, “Prelude,” is actually hard to recognize, overall, the role of brass section is instantly familiar, as it was the music used to accompany the main char-acter’s nightmare.

The brass section pro-duced the scary sounds ef-fectively by frequently at-tacking the first note before the decreasing of dynamic level, which appeared in the overall opening movement.

The most striking move-ment of this piece is the last movement “Scene d’ amour,” which represented a love scene from the film. The string section was the star role in this move-ment by making very sweet sounds against the wood-wind section, making it seem like two people fall-ing in love.

“Angel of Dusk” by Rau-tavaara was the second piece before the inter-mission. This work was a concerto for the double bass and orchestra, which means a solo double bass player has to play against the orchestra accompa-nying the soloist, Andrew Kohn, a WVU music pro-

fessor. His excellent playing skills captivated the whole audience in the hall, espe-cially when the bow hit the string quietly but dramati-cally, making the audience hold their breaths and lis-ten to the mysterious mu-sic moment.

In “His Last Appear-ance,” the final movement of this work, the audience was shown the angel as-cending back into the heav-ens, as it could be heard or “seen” by the faint, wispy sounds from the last mo-ment before the music faded.

After intermission, the last story, “Scheherazade,” began. “Scheherazade” is an exotic work by Rim-

sky-Korsakov, a Russian composer, and consists of four descriptive title movements.

The first movement, “The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship,” be-gan with the energy and ornamented melody of the solo violin part, which was reminiscent of her anger as she began a tale. At the last movement, the brass section played the mel-ody, which repeated for the whole piece, but this time the theme was augmented to be in a slower speed and longer rhythm, drawing the motion of “The Ship-wreck,” a section from the last movement, effectively.

Even though this work was not a violin concerto,

a solo violin part played a very important role for the whole piece and needed to be played by a strong skills violin player, as well.

Diego Gabete, a doctoral violin student of McTeer, is a soloist, and he did an ex-cellent job, as the audience gave him a standing ova-tion at the end of the piece.

However, all three sto-ries cannot be told beauti-fully without a skillful con-ductor. Arnold conducted the stories with his smooth but very effective gestures, making all the symphony members produce all the sounds that we cannot just hear, but see as well.

Pharrell Williams’ latest release evokes happiness

pitchfork.com

Pharrell Williams’ lat-est album “G I R L” was re-leased Monday to interna-tional praise.

Upon its release, “G I R L” reigned supreme on iTunes charts at No. 1 in more than 60 countries. In wake of Pharrell’s successful col-laborations with Daft Punk on the summer smash “Get Lucky” and Robin Thicke with “Blurred Lines,” his long tenure in the music indus-try has proved fruitful with over 10 No. 1 singles under his belt. Pharrell’s latest al-bum is airy and reminiscent of Motown-era jazz tempos.

“G I R L” is an album only Pharrell could produce, with elements of sonic triumph that are truly all his own.

The first track from the album, “Happy,” de-buted in December on the soundtrack for “Despica-ble Me 2,” topping the Bill-board Hot 100 charts in over

15 countries. “Happy” is cer-tainly the pervading theme throughout the album, which is sure to be a sum-mer essential.

Other key tracks from “G I R L” include the swoony love ballad, “Gush,” and “Come Get It Bae,” a catchy track featuring pop mogul Miley Cyrus. Pharrell, as the sole producer of the album, paid close attention to melody and orchestral elements, taking an upwards of three years to perfect the 10 tracks.

In “G I R L,” Pharrell proves yet again that he is a true master of musical craft. In the process of produc-ing the new album, the art-ist blended various vocal el-ements, which transcend decades, and mixed them together for light, summer-minded melodies.

Co-collaborators and in-dustry heavyweights Justin Timerlake and Alicia Keys are also featured on the al-bum, providing duets and backup vocals to Pharrell’s soulful tenor range.

With a powerhouse of me-

lodic fusions, collaborators and musical elements in-spired by nearly every con-tinent, Pharrell’s “G I R L” is expected to rival sales by art-ists such as Bruno Mars and Jay-Z.

For that perfect album to play this Spring Break, whether lounging on the

beaches of Sarasota or pic-nicking in the hills of our very own West Virginia, look no further than “G I R L.”

Pharrell Williams’ “G I R L” is available for purchase at Best Buy and Amazon.com for $10.99.

Dierks Bentley displays sincerity, lyrical creativity

There’s no mistaking Di-erks Bentley’s voice and unique country style, but there is something differ-ent about his latest album “Riser” released last week.

“Riser” is Bentley’s sev-enth studio album since his debut in 2003. Barring a few exceptions for songs such as “Home” and Come A Little Closer,” most of the artist’s success has come in the form of carefree, up-beat tunes prior to this re-lease. For example, “Free and Easy,” “Sideways,” “Am I the Only One,” “What Was I Thinkin’” and “5-1-5-0” are a few of the most popular.

This time, each and ev-ery musical backdrop is matched with lyrical signif-icance. Even the most up-beat songs on the album don’t compare to what fans are used to from Bent-ley. But given the chance, this new and sincere style is easy to fall in love with.

Bucking the popular trend of late, Bentley’s new-est work is more of a return to traditional country and less of a move toward pop music. Most of the songs lack a cliche, catchy chorus, and the singer is not afraid to tackle tough issues.

Both of the singles re-leased from the album should have been indica-tors of just this type of shift and creativity from Bentley.

“Bourbon in Kentucky” was released in June of last year and was severely un-derrated. The song peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard charts, making it Bentley’s lowest-charting single ever. Raw and heartfelt, with ac-companying vocals by Kacey Musgraves, “Bour-bon in Kentucky” deserves a second chance.

Despite the relative lack of success for “Bourbon in Kentucky,” Bentley’s next single, “I Hold On,” was re-leased in August and has had a great deal more suc-cess, peaking at No. 5 on the same list. Another slower song, “I Hold On” is a great example of just how per-sonal this album is for its creator. Bentley sings about a road trip he made to Ten-nessee in his old truck, and that story is true. He and

his dad actually drove the old white pickup from Ari-zona to Nashville when he first moved there.

There are numerous other sentimental songs on the album, most nota-bly “Damn These Dreams” and “Here on Earth.”

Aside from “I Hold On,” “Five” is perhaps the al-bum’s next big radio hit. Even the faster songs “Pretty Girls,” “Back Porch” and “Sounds of Summer” have a strong passionate feel to them, unlike his made-for-radio songs of the past.

“Riser” might not be what people expected out of Bentley, and it might not even be one of his more popular albums. But it’s his best yet.

Breaking free from mainstream country of to-day was a risk Bentley was willing to take – only time will tell if it pays off.

UHS Health teacher and Coach (lets call him Mr. M) told his health class last week that if a girl is wear-ing a short skirt, she is ask-ing to be raped.

To that I’d like to say bulls---.

Ever yone – men, women, transgender peo-ple, cross-dressers – has the right to wear what-ever they want. Nobody, no matter how much they drink or how little they wear, is asking or deserves to be raped.

What kind of message do you think you’re send-ing your male students, Mr. M?

Does wearing a skirt that

doesn’t pass “the fingertip” test make rape excusable? Should the female be sent to jail for putting the poor innocent rapist in a situa-tion in which he was just so intensely aroused by that extra inch or two of leg he was left with no choice but to force himself on her?

Should short skirts and low-cut tops be made ille-gal because they promote rape? Can’t a girl show some leg and wear a pair of heels because it makes her feel like a beautiful and sexy woman, and not because she is looking for sex?

Mr. M, if you witnessed a man being forceful with

a woman in a short skirt, would you just let it hap-pen? If you found out your mother, or daughter, or sis-ter, was raped the night she wore a pushup bra, would you blame them?

Students everywhere, I’d like to tell you that rape or sexual assault is never okay, period.

Use the buddy system. Learn how to spot warn-ing signs. Don’t let your friends walk home alone. And most important, do not be afraid to speak out if something happens to you. You are not alone and you could save countless other girls from becoming victims.

NASCAR is more de-manding than it may seem, and with the Daytona 500 in the books, NASCAR sea-son is officially underway in 2014.

Growing up, I never cate-gorized NASCAR Racing as a sport. I saw football, bas-ketball and baseball as the more traditional sports and convinced myself NASCAR, cheerleading and other similar activities were noth-ing more than any other ex-tracurricular activity.

NASCAR to me has al-ways seemed like a major waste of an already nearly depleted natural fossil fuel, so I couldn’t understand why people enjoyed watch-ing these racers go in circles for hours on end.

After looking into and learning more about the sport, I came to realize how unique and demanding it

actually is.When compared with

sports with clear physical requirements like basket-ball and football, especially at the collegiate and profes-sional level, I believed NAS-CAR would not even be able to compare. I imagined these so-called “athletes” in these high-powered ve-hicles were simply cruising down a track like any other guy on the interstate.

Jeff Gordon on the race track seemed no different than a Jeff Smith on the in-terstate with a cigarette in his mouth and a Boston Terrier in the passenger seat. Little did I know how wrong I was.

NASCAR is one of the most physically demand-ing sports there is.

Elite racers like Gor-don, Kyle Busch and others have to keep their bodies in check to be competitive at this level. These racers are driving at almost 200 mph for many hours. The Coca-Cola 600 sees racers endure more than 600 miles on a

cyclical track often lasting more than 5 hours before the race is finished.

These conditions mean racers need to have limber and powerful shoulders, arms, hands and abdomi-nal muscles to endure these forces for long amounts of time on the racetrack.

Along with physical feats, drivers must also be extremely focused and psy-chologically sound to be able to make quick and re-sponsible decisions when traveling at these velocities.

NASCAR is similar to sports like golf and bowling as sports require high-level decision-making and indi-vidual effort to succeed.

Basketball and football usually only require ath-letes to stay focused for two to three hours at most, but NASCAR sees races go up to five or more hours.

As if this was not enough of a challenge itself, ath-letes also have to do all of this under conditions commonly 100 degrees or higher in these vehicles.

Aside from the more di-rect consequences of rac-ing at high speeds for mul-tiple hours, athletes have to stay hydrated and have the proper nutriments in their bodies prior to the race.

Being able to retain this competitive level of focus and endure these physi-cal conditions for multiple hours in extremely heated and moist vehicles con-tributes to the danger of the sport.

Arguably the most dan-gerous sport in history, NASCAR racing is no stranger to flying cars and high-speed crashes result-ing in multiple injuries at a time. When vehicles slightly touch at these speeds, a cascade of movement can result in severe and some-times fatal crashes among athletes. These racers are highly trained and have years of experience, but even all of this training can

not prevent many of the ac-cidents from happening.

All in all, NASCAR rac-ing is one of the most, if not the most, intense and de-manding sports out there. Although doesn’t change the fact NASCAR is still a waste of gasoline to me, I have a newfound respect for these racers and work-ers who contribute to make this sport so unique.

According to the Proj-ect on Student Debt, 71 percent of college grad-uates in the class of 2011 had student loan debt, with an average of $29,400 per student. With the average debt increas-ing by six percent each year, these numbers can be very scary for under-graduate students, espe-cially for those planning to continue on to gradu-ate school.

Debt is one of the big-gest issues on the mind of your average college student, and many don’t know how they’re going to handle their increas-ing financial problems. Luckily, the Council for Graduate Schools (CGS), in collaboration with TIAA-CREF, a national financial services orga-nization, has created a new tool called Grad-Sense that is designed to help students man-age their debt and plan their financial futures af-ter graduation.

“The GradSense web-site is really designed to help students make de-cisions about their fi-nances w ith respect both to graduate educa-tion and undergraduate education,” said Daniel Denecke, Associate Vice President for Programs and Best Practices at CGS.

According to this press release, GradSense’s pri-mary tool is the Debt to Salary Calculator. The Debt to Salary Calcula-tor combines two data sets – federal data on ed-ucation debt, and federal data on the median sala-ries for specific occupa-

tions – to help students get a comprehensive un-derstanding of what their financial status really looks like.

“We’re bringing to-gether two national data sets that have not been unified before,” Denecke said. “It’s designed to help students borrow money responsibly and to think about their fu-ture and the value of higher education.”

Using the Debt to Sal-ary Calculator is very simple. Students sim-ply enter their degree type, desired field of study, and preferred ca-reer. Then, they get to see what the average debt for students graduating in this degree field is, plus the low, middle, and high salaries that they can ex-pect within their desired occupational field.

“GradSense provides students with crucial fi-nancial information that was never easily accessi-ble or available before,” said Debra W. Steward, president of CGS, in a press release. “This clear, customized tool empow-ers students to make more informed decisions about their educational and career pathways.”

GradSense fills a need that federal data sets can’t. Although the gov-ernment does provide information on educa-tion debt and median salaries, the informa-tion is in separate data-bases, making it hard for students to find, access, and, most importantly, compare. The Debt to Salary Calculator com-bines this information in a way that makes it very easy for students to use and understand.

GradSense also pro-vides a number of other tools for students to use

to fully understand their monetary status after graduation. The site in-cludes advice for repay-ing student loans and transitioning from school to career. In addition, it features tips for evalu-ating job offers, as well as a compound interest calculator, which shows what the long-term effect of common financial de-cisions (like that daily trip to Starbucks or your weekly Chinese food rit-ual) is.

“We’re trying to help students figure out the long term impact of some choices, like living more frugally, making your coffee at home, or buying a frozen pizza instead of going out,” Denecke said.

The site is extremely accessible, and is de-signed to be easy and understandable for stu-dents to use. Complete with helpful links, col-orful graphics, and an easy-to-navigate system, the site is the perfect tool for any student who is having trouble with their finances.

GradSense was cre-ated as a part of CGS’ Enhancing Student Fi-nancial Education proj-ect, a program, in collab-oration with TIAA-CREF, which gave grants to 15 colleges across the coun-try, ranging from Cornell University to The Ohio State University to the University of South Flor-ida, to try to develop pro-grams that will help stu-dents create successful financial plans for their future. The project also has 19 affiliate university partners.

The project was cre-ated because CGS saw a growing need for stu-dents to learn how to deal with debt. The goal of the project is to help

encourage students to continue their school-ing by showing them the value of pursuing higher education, specifically graduate school, and how getting a degree could transfer into future earnings. Although CGS designed the program to be aimed at graduate stu-dents, it is an extremely useful tool for under-graduates as well.

“Each of the graduate deans on the campuses that we’re working with is partnering with the head of undergraduate programs at their uni-versity,” Denecke said. “We’re working to de-velop programs that will address the needs of both graduate and undergrad-uate students.”

Because the project was just launched, there is still a lot of room for the tools to evolve and grow as users give feed-back to the company.

“We’re just really ex-cited to be working with institutions to be very proactive in helping to address the financial situation that students are finding themselves in these days,” Denecke said. “We’re looking for-ward to developing this tool throughout this project.”

If you’ve been wast-ing your valuable college years worr ying about whether or not you’ll ever be able to pay off your loans, then Grad-Sense is definitely the tool for you. Stop worry-ing, and start really plan-ning for your future.

What’s that saying again? “Anything you can do I can do better?” Well, it seems as though the West Virginia University women’s basketball team has proven this lyric to be true.

While the men’s team has had a lackluster 2013-14 season, the Lady Moun-taineers have played their way up to No. 7 in the nation.

Tuesday night gave the team confidence boost and a share of the Big 12 regular season title.

Under the leadership of head coach Mike Carey, the team has only dropped three games this season, making them 15-2 in con-ference play.

They’ve been projected as a No. 2 seed for the NCAA tournament. For a team no one expected much from, the women’s basketball team has put on

a heck of a show with an especially strong defense.

And the talent can’t sim-ply be attributed to experi-ence – guard Bria Holmes is only a sophomore.

Christal Caldwell, a se-nior guard, and Asya Bus-sie, also a senior, have made headlines this season.

This is Bussie’s first sea-son back after a debilitat-ing ACL injury during the 2012-13 season, and she’s shown she’s just as on top of her game as ever. She could even have a shot at the WNBA.

This win over Kansas proves that the Mountain-eers are a force to be reck-oned with, in any sport.

Show your support in post-season play by tuning in to all of the games and keeping up with the teams in The Daily Athenaeum.

BORN TODAY This year contro-versy often stems from misunder-standings. You will tend to worry too much and overthink situations. Learn to use a stressbuster, such as yoga, to ease the pressure. If you are single, you could be more frag-ile than you realize. Let a romance build at its own speed. Do not push, and the results will be better. If you are attached, the two of you will de-velop a new form of communication with each other in an effort to reach agreements and avoid misunder-standings.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH A friend whom you might not have heard from in a while could help perk up your day in the after-

noon. Use your intuition when mak-ing a decision involving your funds. Be as clear as possible when dealing with others. Confirm what you are hearing. Tonight: Your treat.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You tend to blossom in situations where others might get frustrated. You might be used to someone be-ing rather cold and difficult. Do not internalize this person’s behavior or words. A boss might not openly compliment you, but he or she thinks highly of you. Tonight: All smiles.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HH Know that you might need to get a little perspective on a situation. Your best bet would be not to say too much and just observe more. Imagine what it must be like to be in the other person’s shoes. Detach as much as you can. Tonight: Let it

all hang out.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Zero in on priorities. A meeting could be more important than you realize. Once you see the discussion evolve and witness the immediate results, you will gain a sense of apprecia-tion. A close friend might want to talk. Make time for this person. To-night: Opt for togetherness.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Fol-low your instincts. You might want to head in a different direction and fol-low a new path. Others could openly disagree with you. Once you feel that you have answered their questions, you’ll be able to relax. Let go of the issue for now. Tonight: Take a break.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HH You’ll have the opportunity to accomplish a lot. Detach and get opinions from

people who do not think like you do. Once you recognize the myriad of possibilities, you will need to revisit the matter at hand. Tonight: Put on some great music, or drop in on a jam session.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 HHH Lis-ten to what is being shared by a trusted pal -- there are nuggets of important information there. Build on an existing premise, rather than begin a new one. Remember that ev-eryone is entitled to his or her opin-ion. Tonight: Visit and chat with a loved one.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You could decide that enough has come down your path. Understand that it is up to you to state your boundaries; otherwise, how would others know? Share what is happen-ing on a more open level with a close

friend. This person’s feedback will be helpful. Tonight: Happy at home.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Be aware of what is hap-pening in your immediate circle. Not everyone will agree with you, so keep an eye on someone who is prone to backstabbing. You can talk until you are blue in the face, but rec-onciliation is unlikely until later. To-night: Make exercising a must.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Honor your feelings by coming up with a creative solution for a child or loved one. You will see how grateful this person is. What he or she might not realize is how relieved you will be to get past this problem. Do not rehash a routine matter. Tonight: Around good music.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH

Someone might become stubborn in a conversation. Know when to pull back and say less; otherwise, it could be much harder to rectify the situ-ation. If a situation is as you see it, time will be your ally. Tonight: Sink into the sofa, watch a favorite show or indulge in a relaxing pastime.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Examine alternatives with more care. Your innate ability to see the other side of an issue and find a way to make everyone happy will emerge. A partner could be exhibiting crank-iness rather than disagreement; he or she needs an outlet. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

‘Man of La Mancha’ to transform CAC

theatre.eku.edu‘Man of La Mancha’ tells the story of ‘the impossible dream’ on Broadway during a past performance.

BY CARLY SMITHA&E WRITER

@dAIlyAThEnAEum

“Man of La Mancha,” a Tony award-winning mu-sical, is returning to Mor-gantown tonight to bring a piece of Broadway to the Creative Arts Center.

The story follows Miguel de Cervantes as Don Quix-ote of La Mancha around Spain throughout the In-quisition as he continues to fight the Crusades of an era long gone.

In the show, the Span-ish Inquisition throws failed author, actor and tax collector Cervantes into a dungeon after being accused of foreclosing a monastery. If found guilty, Cervantes must hand over his possessions, one of which is an unfinished manuscript of “Don Quix-ote.” Cervantes agrees to hand over all but his story.

Instead, Cervantes asks for a defense, and this de-fense is the “Don Quixote” play being acted out by him and the other prisoners.

Cervantes transforms into Don Quixote, a man who dreams “the impossi-ble dream” throughout the hilarious show, embarrass-ing his family and friends as he lives in an alternate reality. Quixote tries to fight windmills, which he thinks are knights, and sees castles where there are re-

ally only taverns. Quixote sees the good in the world, while many others only see despair and no hope.

“Man of La Mancha” has won five Tony awards, which are based upon the uplifting message of the musical and its success on Broadway. The show ran for five years on Broadway and encouraged many to dream “the impossible dream.”

The new national tour of “Man of La Mancha” makes a stop in Morgan-town tonight to allow the audience to see inside the world of Quixote. The na-tional tour of the produc-tion uses the same sets, costumes and material as the original Broadway productions. “Man of La Mancha” is a favorite of the University Arts Series, and this new traveling ver-sion of the show will not disappoint.

Many know the story of Don Quixote and his ad-ventures with his donkey, Sancho Panza, that are re-imagined for the Broad-way show. “Man of La Mancha” may seem a tad far-fetched, but the per-severance and hope Don Quixote possesses can res-onate with anyone in the audience.

“The audience can ex-pect a story they can con-nect with,” said David Ryan, the public relations

specialist for WVU Arts and Entertainment. “It’s the musical about the impos-sible dream – something we’ve all had at one point or another. Even now, the end of winter seems like our impossible dream in Morgantown.”

This show will leave you laughing at the craziness of Don Quixote’s travels and

full of hope as Don Quixote encourages the audience that anything is possible, and you, too can dream “the impossible dream.”

“We think this is the per-fect escape from the mo-notony of winter,” Ryan said. “We’re all getting a little cabin fever, so why not break that and come out and enjoy a phenom-

enal show? It’s a wonder-ful production with a fan-tastic story, and we hope the community comes to check it out.”

Showtime is set for 7:30 p.m. tonight in the Ly-ell B. Clay Concert The-atre at the WVU Creative Arts Center. Tickets range from $44 to $55, depend-ing on seat location and

availability. Student tick-ets are available for $28 with a valid WVU ID at the campus box offices. Tick-ets are on sale now at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices, on-line at ticketmaster.com or by calling 304-293-SHOW and 800-745-3000.


Summer photography workshop open to all students offers scholarships

BY MARIA SOLANOA&E WRITER

@dAIlyAThEnAEum

West Virginia University will be offering an inten-sive summer photography course, which will take place in northwestern Wyoming.

Jackson Hole Photogra-phy Workshop is a ten-day program, which will run from June 19-29. During this time, participants will travel the area while experiment-ing with different kinds of image-making.

Some of the locations stu-dents will visit are Yellow-stone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, the Na-tional Elk Refuge, the St. An-

thony Sand Dunes and an authentic Western rodeo.

“We typically get out in the field when the light is sweetest, around sunrise and sunset,” said Michael Sherwin, a WVU associate professor of art and coordi-nator of photography. “Af-ternoons are often spent in the studio sifting through images and making final edits.”

Various topics are cov-ered in this course, such as interpretation of the land-scape, intimate nature stud-ies, social documentary and portraiture. The course uses digital and 35mm film cam-eras for the most part, but students in the course will

get a chance to look at work in medium- and large-for-mat cameras and alterna-tive processes. Instruction is targeted individually, de-pending on the level of each student.

Lectures and demonstra-tions will cover basic cam-era operations, beginning to advanced Adobe Photoshop techniques and black-and-white film processing. Also, there will be numerous pre-sentations by professional artists working in the field and a tour of the galleries in town, according to WVU’s press release.

The lead instructor will be Michael Sherwin along with John Holmgren, assis-tant professor of photogra-phy at Franklin & Marshall College.

“There is a tremendous amount of open space and a huge variety of landscapes and climates,” Sherwin said. “The photographic oppor-tunities are endless and the quality of the light is phe-nomenal. I have traveled ex-tensively and can honestly say the northwest corner of Wyoming is one of the most beautiful and unique places in the world.”

This course is being of-fered by the Office of Aca-demic Innovation at WVU meaning anyone can apply, including out-of-state res-idents and non-students. There is no prior experience with photography necessary for this course.

“The unique locale and content of the course may be particularly appealing to students studying in the out-door education, parks and recreation, biology, geol-ogy, geography, landscape architecture and journalism fields,” Sherwin said. “Ulti-mately, it doesn’t matter to me what your major is. Any-one with an interest in pho-

tography is encouraged to take this course, and you do not have to have any expe-rience with photography to enroll.”

The workshop fee totals $1,500 and covers ten nights lodging at the Cowboy Vil-lage Resort, plus one night’s lodging at Yellowstone Na-tional Park, van rental, stu-dio rental, some group meals, park passes and pho-tography supplies. Students are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from Jackson, Wyo.

There is a scholarship available for WVU School of Art and Design students who need assistance paying for the trip. The Global Posi-tioning Studies Scholarship deadline is March 28.

The deadline to register for the Jackson Hole Pho-tography Workshop is April 18 and requires an applica-tion and a $500 deposit. The course will only be open to a total of 12 participants to guarantee a greater amount of one-on-one attention.

“Through lectures, visit-ing artists and gallery vis-its, students are exposed to a variety of contemporary and historical approaches to the medium,” Sherwin said. “Readings and discussions open up opportunities for further learning about the specific culture and envi-ronment of the place.”

On their website you can find comments from peo-ple who have participated in this workshop in the past, pictures and FAQs.

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMWest Virginia head coach Mike Carey cuts down the net after his team clinched a share of the Big 12 regular season championship Tuesday.

No. 7 West Virginia beats Kansas 67-60 at WVU Coliseum, clinches share of Big 12 regular season titleby kevin hooker

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 7 West Virginia women’s basketball team clinched a share of the reg-ular season Big 12 Confer-ence title Tuesday night, as they knocked off the Kan-sas Jayhawks 67-60 at the WVU Coliseum.

Sophomore Bria Holmes led the way for the Moun-taineers with 16 points, six rebounds and one blocked shot.

The title is WVU’s first since the 1991-92 season when the team was still a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference. West Vir-

ginia’s 27 regular season wins breaks the school re-cord of 28 set in the 2009-10 season.

Prior to tipoff, the Moun-taineers honored se-niors Aysa Bussie, Christal Caldwell, Brooke Hamp-ton, Jess Harlee and Tay-lor Palmer. Bussie, a cen-ter, has started every game for WVU in her four years, while Caldwell has started every game since her ju-nior year. All five seniors started, although Hamp-ton was taken out immedi-ately after tipoff because of a knee injury.

“This is a great group,” West Virginia head coach Mike Carey said of the se-

niors. “These players love West Virginia University. They love playing here and they have a lot of pride. This group has won a lot of basketball games, but more than that, they’ve been such leaders for this team even as sophomores and juniors.”

No. 9 Baylor defeated Iowa State 70-54 Tuesday night as well for a piece of its fourth straight confer-ence title. Based on a tie-breaker, Baylor will get the No. 1 seed in the tourna-ment, while the West Vir-ginia Mountaineers get the second seed. Both teams, however, will have first-round byes and begin tour-

nament play Saturday in Oklahoma City. This marks the first year with co-cham-pions in the Big 12 since 2007.

“That win should give our team a lot of confi-dence,” Carey said follow-ing the team’s 71-69 victory over the Bears.

The Mountaineers will enter the Big 12 tourna-ment riding a 10-game winning streak, which in-cludes victories over Bay-lor, Oklahoma State and Iowa State.

“A lot of tears, a lot of sweat,” Bussie said. “It feels really good. This is some-thing that we’ve always wanted, all throughout our

careers.”The Jayhawks (12-18,

5-13 Big 12) were led by CeCe Harper with 19 points, while Natalie Knight added 17. Kansas dropped its fifth straight game.

Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s forced 17 turnovers and outrebounded Kansas 45-39, which includes an 18-10 advantage on offensive rebounds.

Kansas took its only lead of the game in the second half with 17:10 remaining to make it a 36-34 game. WVU responded with a 14-4 run, led by Bussie, to give the Mountaineers a 62-49 advantage with less than four minutes to play.

“I just said `Let’s enjoy this,’ and I gave them one day off and we’ll come back Thursday,” Carey said.

“To win the Big 12 in your second year is great. And to do it with this group is great. I really mean what I say about these seniors. They deserve this.”

no. 7 West virginia sends five seniors out in styleby jon fehrens

sports writer @dailyathenauem

The seniors of the West Virginia women’s basket-ball team never experienced an atmosphere like the one they played in front of Tues-day night.

More than 5,000 fans packed the WVU Coli-seum to send off seniors Asya Bussie, Jess Harlee, Brooke Hampton, Christal Caldwell and Taylor Palmer and watch the Mountain-eers claim a share of the Big 12 Conference regular sea-son championship.

“(It was a ) great crowd. I want to thank them for their great enthusiasm. That is

the way we needed to (send) the girls out. They deserve that,” said head coach Mike Carey.

Playing in a game of this magnitude will naturally bring out some nerves, which Palmer attributed to her team’s sluggish start.

“It was exciting. Emo-tions were high and it was a crazy feeling. You know you have to focus on the game but emotions get in the way of that,” Palmer said. “At the start we were all over the place, but at the half ev-eryone got it together and started to get things going again.”

Carey started all his se-niors at the tip before calling a timeout to take Hampton

out, who is currently bat-tling a knee injury. The se-niors who played led their team to a conference title.

In their last home game as Mountaineers, Bussie and Caldwell combined for 28 points, while Harlee pro-vided the spark her team needed on both ends of the floor. Harlee recorded six rebounds and added nine points.

“(Jess) does the little things. She does all the lit-tle work. The first time I watched her I could tell she was a hustler,” Carey said. “She goes 100 percent all the time when she plays.”

Four years ago Carey had a vision that the players he recruited were good enough

to compete with some of the best teams in the country. Four years later, Carey has accomplished his goal in one of the toughest confer-ences in the nation.

“This championship didn’t start just this year, it started four years ago. I give a lot of credit to a lot of our assistant coaches in help-ing our players come along,” Carey said.

“It’s hard to explain. Words cannot explain what I’m feeling. This is what you ask for on senior night. There was so much on the line and the whole team came together,” Caldwell said.

Carey has brought WVU to

prominenceAfter watching West

Virginia take down Baylor Saturday in Waco, Texas, I thought to myself that Mike Carey is underrated as a coach.

It wasn’t just because his squad has won nine straight games and is in good position to win the Big 12 Conference regular season title. Carey hasn’t received the recognition he deserves after years of hard work and strong results.

When Carey took over at WVU, he didn’t have a lot to work with. The wom-en’s team simply wasn’t very good. Through Car-ey’s guidance and lead-ership, the Mountaineers are back in the top 10 in both the Associated Press Poll and the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Despite this rebuild-ing, and his 26-3 over-all and 15-2 numbers in league play, he’s still crim-inally underrated and underappreciated.

While people will praise coaches like Baylor’s Kim Mulkey or Connecticut’s Geno Auriemma, Carey has proven time and again his squad can compete with the best programs in the country. Yet there aren’t many who con-sider Carey one of the best coaches in the country.

As we continue to see the WVU women’s bas-ketball team progress, we should be aware of what Carey has done to change this program and what this means for the future.

Carey has not only so-lidified himself as a coach who knows how to win, but his team feeds off what he preaches.

While there were mo-ments of adversity Sun-day in the win over Bay-lor, Carey and his team were able to fight through it. That says a lot about the direction in which this team is headed.

If we’re going to be hon-est here, it’s easy to say some of the foul calls in Sunday’s win were a bit questionable. Despite the Lady Bears’ Odyssey Sims having another strong per-formance, WVU didn’t al-low other players to beat it.

T h e Mo u n t a i n e e r s fought issues at the foul line, turnovers and finish-ing near the rim, but still hung tough and fought hard. For Carey and com-pany, that’s all you can ask for.

With the win, West Vir-ginia might have moved from a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament to a No. 2 squad. The Moun-taineers found themselves playing their best basket-ball at a very crucial time in the season.

Carey has found himself leading a group with tons of confidence. After fall-ing in the season opener to Ohio State, WVU has really emerged as a team that’s on a mission. Since that loss, the Mountain-eers have only fallen to Baylor and Texas.

WVU has prided it-self as a defensive squad. Even Sims, the nation’s leading scorer, having 39 points Sunday, was forced to commit 10 turnovers by West Virginia. Prior to Sunday’s loss, BU had won 35 consecutive Big 12 home games dating back to the final regular-season game of the 2009-10 sea-son against Texas.

Despite missing 12 free throws, WVU was able to win due to some key de-fensive stops and strong shooting. The Mountain-eers shot 50 percent from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc. Bay-lor was held to 16 percent from 3-point territory.

With what WVU has accomplished this sea-son, Carey deserves more praise. He’s as underrated as they come in women’s college basketball.

WVU takes on No. 23 Oklahoma

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMEron Harris drives past TCU’s Kyan Anderson Saturday.

By dOUg WAlpSPORTS wRITER

@DOugwAlP

The WVU men’s basket-ball team will play its fi-nal road game of the reg-ular season Wednesday night in Norman, Okla. as the Mountaineers try to knock off the No. 23 Okla-homa Sooners for the sec-ond time this season.

West Virginia (16-13, 8-8 Big 12) edged out a 91-86 overtime win over Okla-homa (21-8, 10-6) Feb. 5 at the WVU Coliseum af-ter travel complications delayed the Sooners’ ar-rival in Morgantown until approximately 90 minutes prior to tipoff.

“West Virginia beat us earlier at their place and we know how tough they are,” said Oklahoma head coach Lon Kruger. “Bob (Huggins) does a great job, so (there is) no problem getting our guys to under-stand how well we have to play to have a chance to win.”

The two teams have been on slightly different trajectories in the month since that early February meeting, as the Mountain-eers lost four of their next six, while Oklahoma won four of its next six to regain its place in the national

rankings.Oklahoma is 13-3 at

home this season, includ-ing a 6-2 record in confer-ence play.

The Sooners also fea-ture the second-ranked of-fense in the Big 12, which is also good for No. 11 in the country at over 82 points per game.

All five Oklahoma start-ers are averaging dou-ble figures on the season, led by sophomore guard Buddy Hield who averages 16.7 points per game.

Sophomore forward Ryan Spangler is nearly averaging a double-dou-ble on the season, averag-ing 10.1 points per game and a Big 12-leading 9.6 re-bounds per contest.

“Ryan’s been fantas-tic,” Kruger said. “Obvi-ously, he’s a terrific re-bounder and has done a very good job for us there. His offensive abili-ties have improved consis-tently throughout the year, and he’s given us a bunch on that that end, too. But most importantly, it’s just his competitiveness, his toughness. He’s really el-evated our other guys in those areas.”

West Virginia, mean-while, hasn’t been as con-sistently successful on of-fense, but has indeed

proven to be a dangerous team when they are click-ing on that end, especially from the perimeter.

“It just comes down to us making some shots,” said WVU head coach Bob Hug-gins. “We don’t score close so we’ve really got to make some shots. When we’ve made them, we’ve been very competitive. When we haven’t, we’ve struggled.”

The numbers support Huggins’ statement. West Virginia has shot 49 per-cent from the field and 43 percent from behind the arc in its 16 wins compared to just 38 percent from the floor and 33 percent from three-point range in its 13 losses.

Junior guard Juwan Staten and sophomore guard Eron Harris lead the Mountaineers at 18 points per game apiece, trailing only Iowa State’s Melvin Ejim (18.9 ppg) in the Big 12. The tandem also com-bined for 48 points against the Sooners in February.

It’s not clear yet at this point if sophomore guard Terry Henderson – WVU’s other double-figure scorer, who has missed three straight games with illness – will be able to return to action Wednesday night in Norman. Henderson returned to WVU’s bench

Saturday afternoon for the first time in the win over TCU but was dressed in street clothes.

The Sooners are the sixth ranked team WVU will have faced in its last eight games. However, the Mountaineers are just 1-5 against AP-ranked teams this season and haven’t won a road game against a ranked opponent since January 2011 when they beat No. 13 Georgetown in Washington, D.C.

West Virginia will also conclude its regular sea-son schedule with yet an-other ranked opponent in No. 8 Kansas Saturday, but the Mountaineers are be-ing careful not to get ahead of themselves.

“We’re not looking ahead to Kansas right now,” Staten said. “We’re just looking forward to playing Oklahoma at Okla-homa. We know it’s going to be a tough game. They’re going to have payback on their mind for what hap-pened here.

“We’re just going to at-tack practice like it’s a normal practice and pre-pare for Oklahoma. Go out there, get a win and then look forward to the next game.”

Sophomore Hailey Bar-rett of the West Virginia University women’s tennis team is hopeful she can re-turn after sitting out of the past five matches against Richmond, Old Dominion, Charleston, Buffalo and Penn State, resulting in a Mountaineer 1-4 record.

Barrett has been out since after the Cal U match on Feb. 7, nearly a month ago. In the weeks leading up to the Vulcans match, Barrett said she did not feel well.

“I would be practicing and I did not feel like my-self at all. I could barely hit

the ball,” Barrett said.Barrett said she finally

took a fingerprint test prior to the match against Cal (Pa.). The results came up negative, leading her to continue to play in the Cal U match. Although Barrett captured two wins that day, one in singles and the other in doubles with part-ner junior Ikttesh Chahal, the Lansing, Michigan na-tive knew something still wasn’t right.

“The next week, I still felt awful, and this is when it got really bad, so they took a blood test, and the blood test came back pos-itive,” she said.

With Barrett knowing she had mono, there was not much she could do to

physically help her team, especially with a lot of her strength depleted due to her sickness.

Head coach Miha Lisac knew how big of an effect Barrett has on the team but said that he never gave up hope, and he as-sured that each lady on his squad is a leader in her own way, both on and off the court.

“Yes, we’re a team, but a team is comprised of dif-ferent pieces,” Lisac said. “For the pieces that are in place, it is very important that those pieces continue to go down the right road.”

Barrett said she wants to be back for Saturday’s match when the Moun-taineers take on Cornell

at the Ridgeview Racquet Club in Morgantown, as she has begun to practice this week..

“We’ll see where prac-tice goes. We’re just going to take it slow, and we’ll react to that and, hope-fully, play this weekend,” she said.

Lisac said that regard-less of Barrett being out, each player needs to con-tinue to perform at her best even when the Moun-taineer star returns to the courts.

“It’s very crucial for the team that the players that are doing well right now to continue to move down that road,” he said.
