The West Virginia Univer-sity Student Government Association held its annual inauguration to formerly initiate the new adminis-tration into office Saturday night.
The event was held from 6-9 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms and included a dinner, an awards ceremony and numerous presenta-
tions by former and cur-rent SGA members in front of the families of the incom-ing governing body.
“This is just a nice event for us to pass the torch onto the next student body,” said Andrew Sutherland, a for-mer member of the SGA Athletic Council.
Despite the controversy that surrounded the elec-tion of the MAD Party into office in March, the overall feeling at the event was pos-itive and encouraging.
“This is always a special night,” said sociology in-structor Daniel Brewster, the SGA adviser.
Brewster is confident in the abilities of the incom-ing governors, despite their young ages.
“They’re young and ideal-istic, but it’s great. It’s always nice to see freshmen getting involved so soon,” he said.
The incoming governors are excited to have the op-portunity to officially put their platforms into action.
“It’s crazy to see this whole thing coming full cir-cle,” said Samantha Shimer, an incoming governor.
The inauguration is a purely ceremonial event according to incoming gov-ernor Sean Fitzwater, who said the new student legis-latures were officially signed into office at an earlier date.
“To have the school rec-ognize that we made it here is great,” Fitzwater said. “I’m

West Virginia University art student Jordyn Clements painted models black from head to toe, adding red hand-prints on various body parts to raise awareness for sexual assault Friday af-ternoon in the Mountainlair.
Models Nana Twum Agyire, Ligeia Evans, Kendall Hankins, Rebecca Klado and Allie Nwosu stood mute in various locations throughout the Lair to show-case Clements’ art and to draw atten-tion to sexual violence.
“In a sense I was creating that ee-rie feeling – that elephant in the room no one wants to talk about – because sexual assault has unfortunately be-come something that just happens and, though it’s unfortunate, it is not talked about on a daily basis,” Clements said.
Clements also expanded on the sym-bolic reasons she chose the colors black
and red on her models.“I chose to paint my models in all
black paint because it is such a bold color. It makes a statement on its own (and) represents that feeling of loss, fear and defeat a surviving victim may feel, and too that feeling of just being a shadow. Someone who shies away from their reality,” Clements said. “As far as the color choice for my hand-prints, there was none. I chose colors I felt would clearly pop and stand out atop the black paint. The red paint was the only one that seemed to stand out and get my point across without having to be written out.”
The scene drew a crowd, as many people were curious about what ex-actly the artist was intending to create. However, Clements strongly encour-aged crowd members to guess the in-tention, rather than being told the rea-soning behind it. Both students and faculty commented on their impres-sions and reactions to Clements’ work.
“I’m assuming it has something to do with sexual violence and assault, given the red hands on their bodies it seems they’ve been touched and they seemed rather sad about having been touched. I think it happens to a lot of people who need to feel that they can talk about it,” said Lisa DiBartolomeo, a professor in the world languages de-partment. “I think we need to create as supportive of an atmosphere as we can and I think we are working on that – the president and the provost, student life – everyone is coming together and stu-dents are leading the way, especially.”
Students walking through the Mountainlair said the initiative had a powerful impact.
“Initially I took it as something to do with genocide, but I found out it is about sexual assault,” said Blake Humphrey, a freshman economics and political science student. “I think it’s

Nancy McIntyre has been named the interim dean of the College of Business and Economics. She will replace Jose V. Sartarelli, the college’s current dean, has accepted the chancel-lor position at the Univer-sity of North Carolina at Wilmington.
West Virginia University Provost Joyce McConnell discussed the legacy Dean Sartarelli has left with the college during his five years as Milan Puskar Dean.
“He was key to some of the great successes of the College of Business and Economics,” McConnell said. “He came in with a background in the pharma-ceutical industry and really helped shape the college to build stronger relationships with the business commu-nity. He has been really ef-fective in doing that in the sense that the relationships we now have, they’ve en-hanced job placements for students. It’s helped raise the national profile of the college. It’s helped bring in private funds to support stu-dents in the program. He’s been extremely effective. “
According to UNCW’s announcement welcom-ing him to the school, Sar-tarelli will officially take on his chancellor role on July 1.
McConnell was proud to announce McIntyre as the interim dean.
“We’re very pleased that Nancy McIntyre has agreed to serve as the interim dean for the College of Business and Economics,” McConnell said. “Dr. McIntyre has been at the college and has been very instrumental in the ac-creditation process, which
has been essential for the in-crease in the academic pro-file and national reputation of the College of Business and Economics.”
McIntyre, the current se-nior associate dean for Re-search and Outreach and an associate professor of man-agement, will serve as in-terim dean into the fall se-mester, as the search for a permanent dean continues.
“Because we’re at the end of the spring semester,” Mc-Connell said, “and we al-ways want the dean search to be an inclusive process, we will probably start put-ting the process in place for the search, but we will want to wait until the fall to bring back candidates so the faculty and students and alumni of the College of Business and Economics can participate.”
McConnell said Mc-Intyre’s business back-ground makes her an ex-cellent entrepreneurial role model, and that McIntyre will see to all of the students’ needs.
“She’s very committed to helping students make the transition from college to business, to their pro-fession,” McConnell said. “She’s very mindful of the external relationships that are so important to helping our students find really good careers after graduation.”
McConnell wished the best to both Sartarelli and McIntyre.
“This is a wonderful op-portunity for Dean Sar-tarelli,” she said. “It’s a wonderful step forward in his career. I think Dr. Mc-Intyre serving as interim is a wonderful transition, as it will bring both ability and excellence.”

While other West Virginia University students stood in line for bar crawls or laughed with friends at formal, dozens marched up High Street Fri-day night in the Stand Against Walk chanting, “A dress is not a yes.”
Their chants, posters and towering high heels aimed to draw attention to sexual violence and victim blam-ing that some people, partic-ularly college-aged women, experience.
“I was talking to a few friends the other day,” said
Samantha Shimer, the event’s organizer. “We said, ‘If you reach five people, that’s a success because the entire point of (the walk) is to start a dialogue.’ Five people talk-ing about it is five people who weren’t talking about it before.”
Shimer is a newly elected Board of Governors mem-ber who ran on a sexual as-sault awareness platform, something she said is a seri-ous problem at West Virginia University.
In “on-campus student housing,” there were 10 forc-ible sexual offenses reported at West Virginia University in 2013 and a total of 36 in col-
leges and universities across the state, according to the U.S. Department of Education.
To try and change these numbers, there is a tight net-work of volunteers, advocates and student leaders with much on their plate.
Less than an hour be-fore the walk began, Shimer still had a list of things to ac-complish: Check with the Mountainlair staff to confirm tables, drive home to grab posters, stop by the Monon-galia County Courthouse, buy more poster boards from Dollar General and hope the Walk’s police escort was

somewhere near by.“It’s kind of nerve wrack-
ing,” Shimer said. “I’ve never been in that sort of leader-ship position before, I guess. But it’s empowering too. It’s crazy to see all of your hard work come to fruition, you
know what I mean?”Each of the event’s speak-
ers touched on the walk’s name change from Slut Walk to Stand Against Walk, a change Shimer said she made to make the walk more inclusive.
Melissa Chesanko, a train-ing and development special-ist at WVU, spoke about how different parts of a person’s identity, such as one’s gen-
der, skin color and the clothes they wear can affect the likeli-hood of reporting an assault.
Chesanko also said it’s im-portant to not just call some-one a sexual assault victim but to help empower them to be a sexual assault survivor.
“We can all survive and we can go on,” Chesanko said. “To help other people, listen to their stories and be-lieve them when they tell you something. Know that you can be a survivor and others can be a survivor, as well.”
Amanda Harman from the local Rape and Domestic Violence Information Cen-ter, a community-based ser-vice that provides counseling, emergency shelter and sup-port groups for victims, also spoke.
WELLWVU partnered with RDVIC to train WVU students to become peer advocates. Through this program, stu-dents advocate for and offer support to sexual assault vic-tims. If a student shows up to a local hospital reporting a sexual assault, a peer advo-cate is notified to come offer support.
Brooke Bailey, a graduate student in public adminis-tration with an emphasis in community development, is a peer advocate alongside Shimer.
“Its difficult to really com-prehend how big of an issue
it is… But it’s nice to know you can help someone,” Bai-ley said. “It’s sort of self-em-powering. We’re empower-ing the victim but we’re sort of empowering ourselves to make change.”
Bailey said a peer advo-cate’s main job is to show the victim what their options are since many don’t know. Sometimes that means re-porting the incident to au-thorities, sometimes it’s enough to have someone to confide in.
After a 20-hour train-ing session in November to be a peer advocate, Bailey doubted if she could handle the responsibility. She fig-ured as scared as she was, the victims would be more scared.
“I think that (students) sign up (to be peer advocates) because of their own experi-ences,” Bailey said. “That’s kind of what it was for me. I had my own experience sev-eral, several years ago. I’m over it now, but I found this as an opportunity to help peo-ple who maybe don’t under-stand what has happened to them or what they can do to make things better.”

Active Minds now has a new chapter at West Vir-ginia University. The lead-ing nonprofit organization is dedicated to empowering students to speak openly about mental health to ed-ucate others and encourage help-seeking. The organiza-tion currently has more than 400 campus chapters.
Active Minds was founded by Alison Mal-
mon, who decided to bring awareness to mental health after her brother’s tragic suicide. After the organiza-tion’s constant growth and recognition, the national headquarters for the non-profit was established in Washington, D.C., and Ac-tive Minds was incorporated as a 501(c)3 organization in 2003.
Founder of the WVU chapter Corie Posey saw the need to provide an out-let to discuss mental health on campus. According to
Posey, mental health should be just as encouraged as physical health in today’s society.
“There is a stigma of men-tal health that makes those living with issues embar-rassed to seek help or open up to their loved ones,” Posey said. “There have been too many recent trag-edies like Sandy Hook, Fort Hood, and other shootings that could have been pre-vented if mental health care was not only more accessi-ble, but encouraged just as
much as physical health care.”
According to Posey, men-tal health is a characteristic that affects everyone.
“Many people hear the word mental health, and do not think it affects them, but in reality it affects us all,” Posey said. “Whether we re-alize it or not, we all know someone who is dealing with depression, anxiety, bi-polar (disorder) or an eating disorder.”
Posey said she believes this chapter can comfort
and educate those affected by mental health issues.
“We all have our bad days. Some people’s bad days aren’t as severe, but that doesn’t make them any less worthy of being un-derstood,” Posey said. “Ac-tive Minds aims to educate all students about mental health so that no one has to feel alone.”
Currently, the chapter is planning for the next ac-ademic year and will have more meetings this semes-ter to continue organizing.
The chapter plans to offi-cially start in the fall 2015 semester. The chapter cur-rently has 20 members and encourages all students to attend chapter meetings. Interested students can be-come members of the orga-nization by attending any chapter meeting.

very excited to be able to start my time in office with a bang.”
Also in attendance was William Schafer, the vice president of Student Life, who gave a welcome ad-dress at the beginning of the night, with WVU Provost Joyce McConnell at his side.
“Every university has an induction ceremony like this but I’m eager to see the WVU traditions,” said Scha-fer, who has held office as vice president for almost six weeks now.
Schafer and McConnell’s address was followed by a dinner and numerous pre-sentations and award rec-ognitions meant to high-light the work done by the 2014-2015 administration.
Recipients of awards in-cluded Danielle Shepherd for the Ken Gray Leader-
ship Award, Brewster for the Richard T. Feller Out-standing Alumni Award, Julie Merow and Stephen Scott for Governors of the Year, and Jennifer Skinner for Intern of the Year.
Also announced was the recipient of the Catalyst for Change scholarship as be-ing Gerard Aguilar Vallera, who plans to create PRT murals in an attempt to bet-ter campus aesthetics.
The night ended with in-augural addresses by the new Student Body Vice President Ashley Morgan and Student Body Presi-dent George Capel, both of whom seemed humbled and honored to be taking office.
“This is a very signifi-cant time in the history of WVU,” Schafer said. “These young student leaders have a pretty amazing opportu-nity to move the University in the forward direction.”

ncredibly chilling and pow-erful and a really unique way to visualize and to show and to make a point.”
Daniel Brewster, a sociol-ogy instructor, said the ap-proach of silence strongly
relate to the harsh reality of many sexual assault victims.
“She’s forcing the silence. It’s a common thing with sexual assault is that they know that voicing anything about the attack or the as-sault and violence is pos-sibly retributive, so I think that’s the part (that is mov-ing),” Brester said. “As well as the eyes – it’s like they’ve had
a social death in some ways.”Victims of sexual assault
are encouraged to utilize University resources. WELL-WVU offers a Campus Peer Advocates program which helps sexual assault sur-vivors on campus find re-sources available to them.
“Today should have al-lowed any persons victim-ized by another no matter
the situation to feel com-fortable enough to seek help. There are so many peo-ple who hold on to that aw-ful memory but do nothing about it. I feel that is a huge issue,” Clements said.

CHICaGo (aP) — What will drive Hillary Rodham Clinton’s second bid for the presidency?
To start, strengthening economic security for the middle class and expand-ing opportunities for work-ing families. Those are is-sues her campaign says will be promoted by a results-oriented “tenacious fighter.”
The former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state was expected to make her 2016 effort official Sun-day with an online video, followed by small events with residents of early-vot-ing states over the days ahead.
The campaign’s open-ing strategy was described ahead of the announcement by two senior advisers who requested anonymity to dis-cuss her plans.
Clinton’s strategy sounds familiar. In 2012, President Barack Obama framed the choice for voters this way: Democrats focused on the middle class versus Repub-licans wanting to protect the wealthy and return to poli-cies that led to the recession.
Clinton intends to sell herself as being able to work with Congress, businesses and world leaders, the advis-ers said Saturday. That ap-proach could be perceived as a critique of Obama, who has largely been unable to fulfill his pledge to end Washington’s intense par-tisanship and found much of his presidency stymied by gridlock with Congress.
Ahead of the expected announcement, Republi-cans tried to link Clinton to Obama, a regular focus of GOP criticism.
“We must do better than the Obama-Clinton foreign policy that has damaged re-lationships with our allies and emboldened our ene-mies,” said former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a potential Republican candidate, in a video Sunday.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who launched his presiden-tial campaign last week, pointed to the Clinton fami-ly’s foundation, saying it was
hypocritical for the Clintons to accept from Saudi Arabia, which places public restric-tions on female movement and activity.
“I would expect Hillary Clinton if she believes in women’s rights, she should be calling for a boycott of Saudi Arabia,” Paul said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” ‘’In-stead, she’s accepting tens of millions of dollars.”
Clinton was not expected to roll out detailed policy positions in the first weeks of her campaign. Advis-ers said she planned to talk about ways families can in-crease take-home pay, the importance of expanding early childhood education and making higher educa-tion more affordable.
It’s not clear whether that would include a noticeable break with Obama on eco-nomic policy. The GOP has hammered Obama’s ap-proach as anti-business and insufficient in the wake of the recession. The White House says the economy has improved significantly in re-cent years.
The unemployment rate fell to 5.5 percent in March, but manufacturing and new
home construction slowed, cheaper gas has yet to ig-nite consumer spending and participation in the la-bor force remains sluggish.
Clinton is seen as the overwhelming favorite for her party’s nomination. Still, her team has said her early strategy is designed to avoid appearing to take that nom-ination for granted.
The early events were ex-pected to include discus-sions at colleges, day care centers and private homes, and stops at coffee shops and diners. After about a month of such events, Clin-ton planned to give more specifics about her rationale for running.
Clinton’s husband, Bill, and daughter, Chelsea, are unlikely to appear at her early events.
Bill Clinton, the former two-term president, said recently that he wanted to play a role as a “backstage adviser” in his wife’s cam-paign. Advisers said Bill Clinton has been engaged with his wife in some of the policy discussions leading up to this weekend’s rollout.
To prepare for the cam-paign, Clinton has spent
months meeting with eco-nomic policy experts, in-cluding Heather Boushey, whose research focuses on inequality, and Teresa Ghilarducci, a labor econo-mist and retirement policy expert. The policy develop-ment process has been over-seen by aides Jake Sullivan and Dan Schwerin.
Clinton’s growing team of staffers began working Fri-day out of a new campaign headquarters in Brook-lyn. They gathered Satur-day to hear from campaign manager-in-waiting Robby Mook, who told them the campaign would value teamwork, respect, diver-sity, discipline and humility.
A memo distributed by Mook, “We are Hillary for America,” said the campaign “is not about Hillary Clin-ton and not about us — it’s about the everyday Ameri-cans who are trying to build a better life for themselves and their families.”
A Democratic official in attendance described the meeting on condition of an-onymity because it was a private strategy session. The memo was first reported by Politico.
Middle-class economics a focus of Clinton’s bid

Did you know April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month?
Though sexual as-sault comes in many forms and can af-fect all genders and ages, campuses across the nation are espe-cially affected by this challenging issue.
Colleges and uni-versities face the grim realities of sexual as-sault on a daily basis.
What can Moun-taineers do to turn the tide on sexual as-sault on our campus?
We all have the abil-ity to make change happen. By bring-ing the issue to the forefront and having open, honest discus-sions, we can em-power each other to know how to pre-vent sexual assault.
As a particular fo-cus on the role men play in prevention, WELLWVU invites all students, faculty and staff to moMEN-tum from 6-7:30 p.m. on April 16 in the Mountaineer Room at the Mountainlair.
Associate Athletic Director Joe Heskett will moderate the moMENtum panel of students and experts representing WELL-WVU, the WVU LGBTQ Student Center, and the Peer Advocacy program.
Topics will explore how traditional mas-culine roles have con-tributed to the prob-lem but can also be part of the solution for moving forward.
Men can share ideas, experiences and perspectives on healthy masculin-ity while learning how to become in-volved in preventing sexual assault and all forms of power-based personal violence.
moMENtum is an opportunity for you or a group you are in-volved with to show your support for the effort to reduce sexu-al assault, voice your opinions or concerns, and be part of the conversation on how to make our campus safer for everyone.
Be a part of mo-MENtum on April 16 to keep sexual assault prevention discussions going.
Follow us on Face-book, Instagram and Twitter @WELLWVU for more information about Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Use #SAAM to join the conversation.
Visit well.wvu.edu/sexual_assault for in-formation about our Green Dot and Peer Advocacy programs that focus on preven-tion and advocacy.
The Peer Advocacy program is seeking students to become Peer Advocates start-ing this Fall. Email [email protected] for more information.

Male perspectives on sexual assault prevention
WELLWVU®
SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (AP) — The death of a black man shot in the back while fleeing a white police officer was the act of a racist cop, a minis-ter told hundreds who gath-ered Saturday for the funeral of Walter Scott.
“All of us have seen the video,” the Rev. George Hamilton, the minister at W.O.R.D. Ministries Chris-tian Center, told an overflow congregation. “There is no doubt in my mind and I feel that Walter’s death was mo-tivated by racial prejudice.” Authorities have not said whether race was a factor in the shooting.
Scott was a father of four and Coast Guard veteran whose death sparked out-rage as another instance of a white law officer fatally shooting an unarmed black man under questionable circumstances. The shoot-ing last weekend in North Charleston was captured on a dramatic cellphone cam-era video by a man who was walking past.
About 450 people includ-ing U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and U.S. Rep. Jim Cly-burn, D-S.C., the two black members of South Caroli-na’s congressional delega-tion, gathered in the sanctu-ary of the church where Scott had worshipped.
About 200 more people waited outside beneath the portico of the church or un-der umbrellas in the rain because the sanctuary had reached capacity.
Hamilton called Michael Slager — the officer involved in the shooting and who has been charged with murder and fired — a disgrace to the North Charleston Police Department.
“This particular cop was a racist. You don’t Tase a man and then shoot,” the minis-ter said. But he added “we will not indict the entire law enforcement community for the act of one racist.”
Hamilton said that the Scott family could take com-fort in the fact that Slager was captured on the video, was charged and will face justice.
Scott was remembered as a gentle soul and a born-again Christian. “He was not perfect,” the minister said, adding that nobody is.
The two-hour service in-cluded spirituals and re-membrances of the 50-year-old Scott.
Those who waited out-side were able to enter at the end of the service and file by Scott’s open casket cov-ered in an American flag and surrounded with sprays of flowers.
Scott’s family arrived in a fleet of three black lim-ousines followed by sev-eral other vehicles. Dozens who were waiting outside held up their cellphones try-ing to capture the scene as Scott’s casket was unloaded from the hearse and wheeled inside.
“You know, Walter touched a lot of people. He was very friendly with every-one. I don’t think he ever met an enemy. So, there’s a lot of people out here, just paying
their respects to him and his legacy,” said Tyrone John-son, a Charlotte, North Car-olina, resident who was wait-ing before the service. He said he went to high school with Scott and one of his brothers.
After the funeral, Scott family attorney Chris Stew-art said the pain behind this shooting would have hurt any color family. “The epi-demic of powerless people being taken advantage of no matter what color, no mat-ter what gender, no matter what belief system you have, needs to stop,” he said.
“We’re not going to let this case boil down to just racial issues because it’s bigger than that,” Stewart said. “It’s a human issue.”
Police initially said Scott was shot on April 4 during a tussle over Slager’s depart-
ment-issued Taser. But the video taken by the bystander and released last Tuesday showed Slager firing eight times as Scott ran away.
Scott was driving a 1991 Mercedes that he bought from a neighbor and was headed to an auto parts store when he was stopped, his brother Rodney Scott said.
Police said he had a bro-ken taillight. Video from the police car’s dashboard cam-era shows Slager asking Scott for his license and registra-tion, then heading back to his cruiser before Scott gets out of the car and runs.
Scott’s relatives have said they suspect he fled Slager out of fear of being jailed again over missed child sup-port payments.
At the time he was stopped, Scott, who worked as a warehouse forklift op-
erator, owed more than $18,000 in child support and court fees, according to Charleston County records.
Clyburn said he hoped some good could come from the tragedy.
“I think this is a catalyst to get people to face up to the fact that we’ve got problems in this country,” he said. “I think this exposed some-thing that is already there.”
Clyburn also said that it didn’t make sense for Scott to face jail for failing to pay child support. That caused Scott to lose a $35,000-a-year job, making it impossible for him to pay.
“If you want to collect child support, there’s got to be income — and you ain’t going to make much income from jail,” Clyburn said.
Clyburn also said there need to be minimum stan-
dards, perhaps national standards, for evaluating law officers.
“It seems to me evaluation needs to be much more than whether or not you can shoot a gun,” he said.
Sen. Scott, who grew up in North Charleston, said the incident provides an oppor-tunity for local law enforce-ment agencies to re-evalu-ate their operations. On the national level, he said, it’s a chance to promote the use of body cameras by police agencies nationwide.
Those who knew Scott remembered him as light-hearted and gentle. They de-scribe a laid-back, fun-loving man who took his girlfriend dancing on weekends. Scott had been married twice, and proposed to his girlfriend Charlotte Jones about a week before he was killed.

Ban of those who nixed gay rights bill served purpose
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A worker-owner of a Fargo coffee shop who instituted a tongue-in-cheek ban on North Dakota lawmakers for opposing an anti-discrimina-tion bill says the response has been “99.9 percent positive” and that he made his point, even if a few people didn’t like it.
Joe Curry, one of the worker-owners of the Red Raven Espresso Parlor, posted a newspaper page in the shop earlier this month that showed the 55 Repub-lican state House members who rejected a bill that would have prohibited discrimina-tion based on sexual orienta-tion in housing, government, public services and the work-place. It was accompanied by a sign saying the legislators were banned, “Unless accom-panied by a lesbian, gay, bi-sexual or transsexual, queer, intersex or asexual person.”
The stunt got a lot of atten-tion, with Republican-led leg-islatures in Indiana and Ar-kansas having just rolled back their new religious objections laws under pressure from crit-ics who considered the laws invitations to discriminate against the LGBT commu-nity. Curry said he wanted to use humor to make a serious point and to show support for his customers, whom he de-scribes as mostly “lefties” in a conservative state.
“The ban was, I thought, very tongue in cheek, re-quiring them to be escorted by someone from the LBGT community,” Curry said Wednesday. “I hope that they thought about it, at least, and I hope some of them giggled. But in the end, they are all welcome here.”
Not everyone giggled.State Rep. Josh Boschee,
a Red Raven regular and the state’s only openly gay law-maker, said he didn’t like the tactic.
“I understand what they are trying to make a point but I would have done it differ-ently,” the Fargo Democrat said.
Republican state Rep. Jim
Kasper, a local who voted against the legislation, said he’s never been in the cof-fee shop because he doesn’t get downtown much. He also took the ban seriously and went as far as to support the premise.
“They have the perfect right to refuse anyone they want,” Kasper said.
The ban got attention on cable news shows. MSN-BC’s Melissa Harris-Perry described it as her “favor-ite thing that happened this week” and wondered aloud if Fargo was a “center of LGBT rights.”
Curry said the coffee shop received an outpouring of love on social media. One of his customers baked him a cake and another made him a patch with the message, “Solidarity forever.” The three Democratic state lawmakers who represent the Red Ra-ven’s district sent him a gift basket.
The few critics that came forward were vocal, Curry said.
“It was just a handful, but some of them were talking about militant gay agenda, which I hadn’t heard of,” he said. “A few phone calls tell-ing us that we were hypocrites and using some language that was slightly hurtful, but noth-
ing that will affect us long term.”
The Red Raven caters to a younger crowd that includes high school and college stu-dents and young professors in an area that has three four-year universities. It has an art gallery and a stage for poets, musicians and comedians. It is one of the few establish-ments in town that holds all-ages shows.
Albert Whitcomb, a 69-year-old regular who de-scribes himself as a “genuine hippy and activist,” joked with Curry during a recent visit that he stopped in to get Cur-ry’s autograph for the “awe-some adventure” over the anti-discrimination bill.
“It will cost you,” Curry joked.
Curry took down the sign and photos a few days ago, but he hasn’t ruled out posting them again. He be-lieves the display served its purpose.
“I think the statement was made and I think it a chord with a lot of people,” Curry said. “I think it encapsu-lated a lot of the anger and disgust with all the people who shared it. It did its job. It opened the doors to a lot of discussion and I think a lot of that discussion, at least what I was hearing, was positive.”

Curry’s shop became the focal point of an anti-discrimination debate after he posted a sign mocking law-makers who voted against a bill to prohibit discrimination in housing and gov-ernment based on sexual orientation.

New stadium benefits communityThe Monongalia County
Ballpark opened its doors for the first Mountaineer baseball game to be held in Morgantown this year on Friday.
The new stadium broke ground on Oct. 17, 2013, and now the new stadium has come into fruition. In September, former West Virginia University Ath-letic Director Oliver Luck called the stadium a game changer.
“Historically, baseball hasn’t been a premiere sport here. Part of that’s due to the weather, which we can’t change,” Luck told The Daily Athenaeum. “But, part of it is due to the condi-tion of our facilities and the lack of interest and lack of success.”
This new stadium will benefit the entire commu-nity, not just WVU and our athletic department.
There are clear benefits from this new stadium for the Athletic Department. Having new and improved
facilities will help put us at the front of the pack within the Big 12 Conference. We will also have a better
chance at recruiting im-pressive talent, whether it be players or coaches.
The players will obvi-
ously benefit from hav-ing a quality home-field advantage. Fans are also clear beneficiaries of the new stadium. With a beau-tiful view and convenient location, attendance—and profits—are bound to increase.
However, another group to benefit will be the Mor-gantown community as a whole. Set to have their opening season this sum-mer, Morgantown has its own professional base-ball team—a Pirates Class A Short Season affiliate team—The West Virginia Black Bears. The Black Bears, named by the com-munity now hosting them, were inspired to move by the state-of-the-art stadium.
This new team will pro-vide more than just sum-mer entertainment for the community. The stadium
and team will provide the community with new jobs and new profits. Having several teams using the fa-cilities, they will need year round maintenance to keep the field and facilities in a competitive state. Jobs in the surrounding communi-ties are always a great op-tion for WVU students in need of employment or in-ternships as well.
This new stadium and the team it has brought into the state will be a great chance to rally and enter-tain the community. With the Mountaineers finish-ing out the rest of their home games in Morgan-town, and the Black Bears starting their season—with 38 home games—in June, the Monongalia County Ballpark will bring a busy summer.

#TidalforAll of the artists who started new service
Jay Z wants you to know, over and over again, he’s not a businessman; he’s a busi-ness, man.
On March 30, he and a coalition of other genre de-fining pop artists—includ-ing Beyoncé, Kanye West, Daft Punk, Jack White, Ja-son Aldean, Madonna, and Rihanna—released Tidal, the newest music stream-ing service that’s coming for Pandora’s lunch and Spoti-fy’s dinner.
Yes, Hova’s got beef with streaming radio shows, as they only seem to play his hits for more cash from ads. But they can no longer un-derestimate the intelligence Jay Z has, as he is the apo-gee of the American rags to
riches story. So why is he and his posse of artists so mad?
Basically, the biggest mu-sic artists of the world are fed up with their music be-ing listened to for free, so they’ve started their own music-streaming scheme to profit from and hopefully empower lesser-known art-ists and eventually rocket them to stardom as well.
The artists are sharehold-ers and co-owners. There are 16 including Jigga, who bought the company, pre-viously called WiMP, which was created by the Swedish parent company Aspiro for $56 million in March. Tidal is marketing itself as “the first music streaming ser-vice that combines the best high fidelity sound quality, high definition music vid-eos and expertly curated editorial.”
And it’s been a flop so far. Fans clamor it’s only mak-ing the rich get richer. That it leaves indie artists in the dust while pigeonholing de-voted fans to a new, exclu-sive and expensive stream-ing service. They’re not wrong.
The Billboard chart has al-ready given its warning. Art-ists who exclusively release music on Tidal run the risk of dropping spots or even being dropped off the chart because not enough people will buy the service—in the end giving them a smaller audience, not a bigger one.
Looks like Jay can add this to his long list of prob-lems. Maybe it will give him a moment of clarity.
His saving grace is the promise of better compen-sation for artists. Reportedly 75 percent of members’ sub-scriptions will go directly to
record labels for individ-ual artists and songwriters. Tidal will also stream vid-eos, something Spotify and Pandora don’t.
Jay Z is hoping to cap-italize on artists’ fear of loss, and fans’ moral com-pass against illegal down-loads to drive up subscrip-tions, which are $9.99 for the standard subscription and $19.99 for the premium.
The question is, will fans abandon reliable, time-tested streaming services like iTunes, Pandora and Spotify just to hear a slightly better version and get vid-eos that will eventually go up on YouTube?
If you believe in Jay Z’s end game, (even though he actually said he has no end game) then yes, yes you should.
The end game I am talk-ing about is a music indus-
try run by artists, for artists, with only a fraction of input and resources coming from the conglomerates.
Imagine a world where all the music was studio qual-ity, available to any device that streamed music and was written without fear of studio executives cut-ting it for radio. Where art-ists could dictate their own terms, indie singers have the same platform as Kanye or Rihanna and they all got paid for their art. This is the end game for Tidal.
Jay Z and his merry band of superstars are looking to take care of their own first and their fans second. I commend him for this.
“Will artists make more money?” Jay said in an in-terview with Billboard. “Even if it means less profit for our bottom line, abso-lutely. That’s easy for us.
We can do that. Less profit for our bottom line, more money for the artist; fantas-tic. Let’s do that today.”
Of course this only works if the indie artists buy in. Without them this is noth-ing more than a money grab and f--- you to every-one who can’t afford the $15 to spend on individual records.
Jay and his friends have the money to blow on this business venture. Luckily for the consumer, if it ends bottoms up, we’ll be no worse for the wear as we’ll still have iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and the newBeats by Dre’s streaming service that will be out soon and whatever new plan to stop illegal downloading comes along.
What more can I say?
Text therapy: Effective, innovative new apps could save lives, improve health
With the explosion of smart phone users, apps have been created for vir-tually everything. Among this limitless list of possi-bilities for added conve-nience to our daily lives is the creation of text therapy apps.
They are a promising and cost-effective alter-native to in-person ther-apy and a great example of how the acceleration of technology doesn’t neces-sarily have to be our soci-ety’s demise. In some ways, it can be of great help.
According to the U.S. De-partment of Health & Hu-man Services, only 38 per-cent of adults with mental health problems get the treatment they need. Men-tal health is a worldwide is-sue garnering more atten-tion than ever, and for good reason. The creation of tex-ting therapy is an innova-tive and convenient tool to help foster mental health and better our society.
Talkspace, created in 2012, costs as little as $19
per week and electronically connects you to licensed psychologists and mental health counselors. Other options are GoLantern and Better Help, which can run at $28-$35 per week. It’s as easy as shooting a text to a licensed professional when you are feeling unsure or in need of someone to talk to. Compared to the me-dian cost of $75 per ther-apy session, apps such as Talkspace provide help to a demographic who may not get it otherwise. The app adds a whole new layer of convenience to the no-tion of promoting mental health.
Texting therapy has drawn criticism from peo-ple who say psychologists may miss important non-verbal communications in the session. Another criticism has been peo-ple who are truly in crisis need face to face interac-tion that can’t be replaced by texting. They need to be accessible.
I certainly don’t think texting therapy should re-place traditional therapy sessions for those who need one-on-one help, but I think it’s an extremely
beneficial option for those who might not be in need. It’s a decent method of en-suring the general mental health of millions of peo-ple. These people might not need to be talked off the ledge necessarily, but could benefit from speak-ing to a licensed profes-sional to improve their thought patterns and emo-tional well-being. Many people are not mentally ill, but are going through a rough time during which they need guidance and emotional support. Text therapy can provide this support.
Our generation has grown up texting and this may be a highly appeal-ing option for many young people. Shooting a text and knowing you will get a timely answer is far more gratifying than waiting all week for a therapy session. It provides a way for people to say exactly what they feel at any given time, and have someone on hand who is trained to help. Best friends and family can make you feel better, but they aren’t trained psychologists and sometimes may not know how to give you the help
you need. Plus, how many people
have started to craft a text and then just deleted it, feeling that no one would care, or that they don’t want to be a bother? Tex-ting therapy helps elimi-nate feelings of isolation that afflict all of us at one point or another.
The level of anonymity people perceive online is another feature that makes text therapy unique. Many
may find it far easier to “get to the point” and feel less judged than having to talk inperson. That’s why shows like “Catfish” exist, and so many people turn to online forums and anonymous av-atars, spilling their deep-est secrets to people who don’t know them. It’s why people create ranting Face-book posts in which they unload everything off their chest. If people are able to be more forthcoming via
text, the whole process of therapy can be shortened and made more effective.
The high price of therapy shouldn’t keep so many people who need it away, but the reality is it does. Providing help for those who can’t afford a thera-pist can be key to starting reform in our society and preventing tragedy, possi-bly even saving lives.

Tyler the Creator, others release new music
1. “Cherry Bomb” - Tyler, the Creator
Tyler the Creator’s new album will drop today. It has been almost two ex-act years after his last album “Wolf ” was released. It is one of the most re-cent releases by a member of Odd Fu-ture. “I Don’t Like S---. I Don’t Go Outside.” by Earl Sweatshirt debuted March 23 and rose to the top of the charts. Frank Ocean’s new album is ex-pected to be released this July. “Cherry Bomb” consists of 13 tracks, including “DEATHCAMP” and “F*****G YOUNG / PERFECT,” which have already been released to the public. What could make this album even better? Lil Wayne and Kayne West are listed in the credits for “Smuckers.” Perform-ing at Coachella this past weekend, Tyler the Creator released the “Cherry Bomb” track list and started prepar-ing for a crazy summer. Starting in Ar-izona, Tyler the Creator will be travel-ing all over the world performing on his tour. With many shows on the East Coast, the closest he will be perform-ing near Morgantown will be Colum-bus, Ohio on May 6.
2. “Love Somebody” - Reba McEntire
“Love Somebody” marks McEn-tire’s 27th album. Five years after she put out her last solo album, McEntire does not disappoint. With 12 catchy-ish tracks, the album is bound to be a hit. Fans have heard the Bummer-man remix of single “Going Out Like
That.” Boasting a weird, techno feel, McEntire threw fans a curve ball with the pop-like remix. Some fans claimed McEntire was betraying country music by feeding into the pop-country genre that has taken over Nashville. Despite one’s feelings toward the remix, the original version of the song will def-initely be a hit for all country music fans. Jennifer Nettles joins McEntire on a ballad titled “Enough.” McEntire, known for her strong, beautiful ser-enades, lived up to her expectations with “Enough.” McEntire will be per-forming multiple times over the sum-mer, mostly in Las Vegas. Her closest concerts will be in Bethlehem, Pa., and Kettering, Ohio in August.
3. “Take as Needed for Pain” - Hank Williams III
Hank Williams III, or Hank 3 as some country fans refer to him, is re-leasing his new album tomorrow. It is his most recent release since Oct. 1, 2013, when country album “Broth-ers of the 4x4” and punk album “A Fiendish Treat” were released on the same day. Son of Hank Williams, Jr. and grandson of Hank Williams, Sr., Hank 3 is influenced by many genres of music, having experience in coun-try, rock, punk, metal and more. Each of the styles can be heard on his new-est album which is a compilation of Williams’ work. Featuring eight tracks, most songs on the album have been heard before either on previous al-bums or live and feature collabora-tions with country artist David Al-lan Coe and members of metal band Pantera.

John T.K . Scherch started out singing for a choir when he was a boy.Since he’s such a loud and powerful singer, he had trouble blending his voice and decided to try solo out. He does that very well. Phi Mu Alpha suited the choir route better, and they do that very well. Both show-cased their respective tal-ents on a live show broad-casted on U92 FM.
Live streaming classi-cal music on U92 FM was the brainchild of Scherch, the classical director at the station.
“It was cool to broad-cast the recital in gen-eral,” Scherch said. “But it’s nothing special that it’s my own.”
He’s been trying to or-ganize this for about a year now, and it’s only a coinci-dence that the first classical show is his own.
“This is WVU’s first (live broadcast) recitals, and I want there to be more,” he said.
Unfortunately, Scherch can’t do any more of these shows because it was his senior recital last night. He’s headed to Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University after a seven-year stay in Morgan-
town as a major in voice.“(Scherch) has done a
lot of singing in choirs, not solo, and he’s worked hard to develop his solo voice,” said William Koehler, Scherch’s voice teacher for the past three years. “He’s doing a lot of things we wanted him to do.”
One of those parts was to give a lively classical per-formance, something that’s quite difficult to do, but Scherch managed to do so, all with a lovely bass voice.
“He has a fabulous voice, and this is a recital you don’t want to miss,” said Sara Beattie, a DMA music student. “He has a really amazing low range.”
Scherch sang Italian, German, French and Eng-lish songs in their respec-tive languages to keep that raw poetry of the song true to itself.
“It’s really based on the poetry,” he said. “I would not put a piece on the re-cital that I didn’t like.”
His friend, a fellow voice student junior Janine Ern-sting, liked the pieces as well.
“He’s a part of my studio and I wanted to support him,” she said. “It was re-ally good and diverse with a lot of different music. I liked how he incorporated musicians as well.”
Instruments like the french horn, piano and bass accompanied the
bassist singer. For the choir, however, there was barely a guitar. The Pi Mu Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota fra-ternities performed the American Music Recital at United Methodist Church after Scherch’s recital at the Monongalia Arts Center.
Choirs bounced back and forth between who sang, and both got involved in the audience and sang their fraternities’ song. Then men literally sere-naded a girl during “A Ser-enade to a Girl,” and the women did the same when it was their turn.
Individuals also per-formed between group songs, and one man, Matt Finley, a senior music ed-ucation student and a brother of Phi Mu Alpha, composed his own ar-rangement of “Down in the River to Pray.”
“I love seeing what it sounds like performed and to see audience reactions,” Finley said.
He’s just happy to have performed in the first place.
“I’m glad to have an op-portunity (to perform) on U92,” said Finley. “It’s a good way for us to reach out even further.”
Megan Watson, a senior sociology student and sis-ter in Sigma Alpha Iota, said, “We just want to keep on top of the music.”
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Vin Diesel sang, Channing Ta-tum danced and Zac Efron showed off his toned abs yet again as the best shirt-less winner for the second year in a row at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday.
“This is definitely not the Oscars,” said “22 Jump Street” star Jillian Bell as he arrived for the 24th annual irreverent treatment on Hollywood award shows.
In addition to such cheeky, fan-voted hon-ors as best kiss and best shirtless performance, the awards also served as an unofficial promotional platform for the upcoming blockbuster season.
Almost at odds with the raunchy spirit of the show, the big winner of the evening was the teen tearjerker “The Fault in Our Stars,” which got the Golden Popcorn statuette for best movie of the year as well as multiple wins for star Shailene Woodley.
Other winners included Bradley Cooper, Chan-ning Tatum and Jenni-fer Lopez, as well as Jen-nifer Lawrence and Meryl Streep, who were not in attendance.
Woodley, who picked up one of the first awards of the night for best female performance in “The Fault in Our Stars” in addition to the Trailblazer Award and best kiss (with Ansel Elgort), gave an emotional speech dedicated to the book’s author, John Green.
“He gave this world a beautiful masterpiece,” she said directly to Green, who was seated in the audience.
Woodley said that the book changed her life when she read it and that his words will transcend the test of time.
While Tatum, Efron and others treated the eve-ning as a party, others, like Woodley, took the oppor-tunity to be more sincere.
Kevin Hart, who was the target of many size-related jokes throughout the night, brought his kids on stage to accept the comedic ge-nius award.
“I do it all for them,” he said. “I’m trying to leave a legacy behind.”
Cooper, who won best male performance for portraying the late Chris Kyle in “American Sniper,” thanked the audience for making the film such a big success and bringing at-tention to the plight of the soldiers.
“Chris Kyle would have turned 41 four days ago. Chris, this is for you,” said Cooper.
But it’s hard to be uni-formly gracious when categories include other wacky awards like best villain (Streep for “Into the Woods”), and best WTF moment (Rose By-rne and Seth Rogen for “Neighbors”).
Host Amy Schumer set the tone at the outset, pok-ing fun at MTV, Hillary Clinton and even Harrison Ford.
“This is going to be the party of the year. I just hope Harrison Ford doesn’t crash it,” Schumer said, referring to the actor’s recent plane crash.
In one of the most ener-
getic moments of the show, Robert Downey Jr. brought his fellow Avengers to their knees while accepting the Generation Award at the MTV Movie Awards Sun-day night.
Cast mates Scarlett Jo-hansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner all took the stage to pres-ent their co-star with the award, which Downey called “the recognition I so desire.” They then fell to their knees as Downey talked about his memo-ries of the first MTV Movie Awards, and “clawing” his way to the top.
“I partied way too much. I’ve squandered, resisted, repented,” he said, implor-ing the audience to “dream big, work hard, keep your nose clean.”
But the real focus was on what’s coming up at the multiplex this summer. Last year’s host Rebel Wil-son and her “Pitch Perfect” co-stars introduced a new clip from their upcoming sequel.
The team behind “Pa-per Towns,” an adaptation of John Green’s novel, de-buted a new clip as well.
There was also an agenda behind Downey Jr.’s accolade, of course: the promotion of “Ultron.” The “Iron Man” star in-troduced a new clip from the summer blockbuster, which bows May 1.
Even host Schumer had a film to promote: “Train-wreck,” a relationship com-edy from director Judd Ap-atow that Schumer wrote and stars in.
APShailene Woodley accepts the trailblazer award at the MTV Movie Awards at the Nokia Theatre on Sunday, April 12, 2015, in Los Angeles.
Woodley wins big at MTV Movie Awards Dallas Art honoring blues artistsDALLAS (AP) — Plans are
in the works in Dallas for an art piece honoring blues gui-tarist brothers Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan at a park located just blocks from the home where they grew up.
The Dallas Morning News ( http://bit.ly/1GYELVc ) re-ports that documentary film-maker Kirby Warnock has been working since last year with Kay Kallos, the public art program manager in the City of Dallas’ Office of Cul-tural Affairs, to secure a spot in the Oak Cliff neighbor-hood’s Kiest Park to honor the late Stevie Ray Vaughan and his older brother, Jimmie Vaughan.
It’s “been a long, slow slog,” says Warnock, whose 2013 documentary “When Dallas Rocked” lamented the lack of a Stevie Ray Vaughan memorial in Dallas. “But it will be worth it.”
Stevie Ray Vaughan, a
six-time Grammy winner, was killed in a 1990 heli-copter crash at the age of 35. This month he’s set to be in-ducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“It’s kind of crazy to me that he’s going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and we don’t have anything for him in his hometown,” War-nock told The Associated Press. Warnock added that the project has the approval of Jimmie Vaughan.
Last April, the City Coun-cil approved spending $74,000 for a piece of public art in Kiest Park, but had not decided what the artwork would be. That’s when War-nock entered the picture and began the paperwork to jus-tify his request.
He noted in his proposal that a nearby middle school gives out a scholarship es-tablished by the brothers’ mother. He also notes the
brothers proudly proclaimed their Dallas roots in media interviews and recorded a song titled “DFW” to honor their hometown.
To make the project a real-ity though, Warnock needs to raise $68,000 more. The Park Board will vote Thursday on an agreement allowing a lo-cal foundation to donate funds to augment the exist-ing project.
There isn’t a design yet for Warnock’s project. Once the Park Board signs off, Kallos said the city will put out the call for proposals.
“This is not for the faint of heart,” Warnock said of the process. “If you’re looking for a quick fix, this is not the way to go. But I wanted to make this real. And if it’s in a city park, it’s real. You know it’s really going to happen. Do-ing it with the city puts the official stamp of approval on it.”

The Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars com-petition came to an end on Friday in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.
Contestants Alex Brown and Kat Janelle took home the mirror ball trophy with their Jazzy/Hip-Hop rou-tine to a mix of Meghan Trainor’s “Lips Are Movin,” and Marke Ronson’s “Up-town Funk,” featuring Bruno Mars. Contestants Ellis Roper and Lauren Trupo were the first run-ners-up, while contestants Cameron Taylor and Madi-son Shirkey took home the trophy for second runner up. Dance couple John Wil-liams and Sarah Taylor won the social media contest via Facebook, while Alexa Gonzalez and Scott Link won the Fan Favorite vote.
“It feels amazing to have come out on top. We’ve worked pretty hard and it’s a good payoff,” Brown said. “It’s been a lot of fun com-peting in the competition. It was kind of last minute so it’s been pretty crazy and hectic, but we just made it work.”
“We’re, were dance part-ners in high school for show choir, many years ago it feels like, and it was a lot of fun to be able to per-form again,” Janelle said.
“Reuniting our friendship flame was pretty cool.”
Due to bad weather, the show was postponed from the original March 6 date. Given this fact, WVUp All Night and DWTMS contes-tants had to face many ob-stacles when it came to re-scheduling the event and drumming up promotion again for the competition. Due to the change in date, many of the busy contes-tants had to drop out of the competition due to sched-uling conflicts. The show began with 19 couples and ended up having half of the contestants.
“We had to push back the competition after the big snow storm made us post-pone it, but as they say ‘the show must go on’” WVUp All Night Coordinator Sonja Wilson said.
Dance contestants for the competition included John Williams and Sarah Taylor, Ellis Roper and Lau-ren Trupo, Cassie Brown and Renzo Diaz, Alexa Gonzalez and Scott Link, Janelle Yahn and Quenton King, Leslie Haning and Jake Rush, Cameron Taylor and Madison Shirkey and Alex Brown and Kat Janelle.
Even though only 8 cou-ples were able to perform, the event was an overall success. The ballroom was nearly full, with a vivacious, lively crowd.
Bill Nevin, voice of the
Pride of West Virginia, entertained as host for the event sponsored by the American Red Cross. Judges for the competi-tion included Anchor and Reporter for WBOY 12 News Krista Baker, Assis-tant Professor of Acting and Program Director with WVU’s School of Theatre and Dance Lee Blair, 2014 Dancing with our Moun-
taineer Stars Winner Katie Heller, NFL Cheerleader Kimbraly Kettler and 2014 Miss West Virginia Paige Madden.
Guest performances for the event included Paige Madden perform-ing Sara Bareilles’, “Grav-ity,” and a contemporary dance to Sam Smith’s “Lay Me Down,” performed by Damiah Edwards and Hil-
ary Snyder from the WVU School of Dance. Edwards and Snyder shined and had the attention of every-one in the room for a sweet performance.
Sponsors for the com-petition included Amazon Student, Evetos and The Game.
Overall, the dancers en-tertained the audience with their choreography,
personality, theme and song selection. There was a strong connection between the dancers and the audi-ence throughout the en-tire event, which made the competition more exciting.

Combining music and meditation, the Wanderlust Festival will head to West Virginia this summer to provide a relaxing getaway for those interested in the art of yoga and meditation.
Taking place in Snow-shoe, W.Va., Wanderlust is a three-day lifestyle festi-val focusing on yoga, music and mindfulness. With a lo-cation as unique as the fes-tival itself, Snowshoe serves
as the perfect spot to host Wanderlust. Known as the “upside down” mountain, Snowshoe’s attractions are located at the summit of the peak instead of the base.
“Wanderlust Snowshoe is an Appalachian hideaway, an undiscovered gem that surprises with its charm and natural beauty,” said Sean Hoess, Wanderlust co-founder.
“It’s also a place with a storied history that is ripe for adventure.”
One of Snowshoe’s sce-nic sights, Shavers Lake, will
be the epicenter of Wander-lust’s largest stand-up pad-dleboard yoga program. Presented by Wanderlust partners, Natural Spring Water and BOGA, the pad-dleboard yoga program is one of many activities and experiences offered to at-tendees. Classes and events include outdoor ventures such as hikes, outdoor med-itations, adventure runs to kayaks, speeches and in-spirational talks from mo-tivational speakers such as former pro-football player Jason Brown and ecologist
Matt Wasson. Wanderlust’s programming department strives to look out for new trends not only in the world of yoga, but in meditation, outdoor adventure and more. Debuting at Wander-lust Snowshoe is “Souls-cape,” a program aimed to skillfully combine yoga and music, pairing together DJs and teachers to design in-tentional choreographed soundtracks for classes. Wanderlust allows attend-ees to “choose their own ad-venture,” with the ability to create their own schedule
of events.Alongside speakers and
elite yoga and meditation instructors, Wanderlust of-fers an exclusive musical experience as well. Musi-cal ensemble The High and Mighty Brass Band will take the stage over the three day festival, along with solo folk-reggae artist Kevin Paris and British soul group Lake Street Drive.
Festival attendees will also enjoy the benefits of Wanderlust’s partners. Luvo, a company that fo-cuses on wholesome, nu-
tritious and natural ingre-dients, will serve samples of their meals along with Nat-ural Spring Water, a com-pany that will debut its new redesigned bottle that will be available on Earth Day 2015. The Wanderlust Food Co-op features ven-dors who specialize in lo-cally grown, organic food. Menus feature gluten free, raw and seasonal foods. Zappos has also partnered with Wanderlust to provide those who attend Snowshoe in June with shoe racks lo-cated outside of the venues at Wanderlust.
“This will create a clean aesthetic space for at-tendees to keep their foot-wear safe and sound, while they enjoy their practice,” said Lindsay Bellegante of Zappos.
Wanderlust’s Snowshoe debut hopes to connect attendees to nature, new friends and themselves through a transformative experience.
“Traveling to Snowshoe on Route 66, you’ll arrive in scenic Pocahontas County. There, you will practice yoga surrounded by panoramic views of the West Virginian hills, mountain bike down challenging trails, or pad-dleboard on a crystal clear mountain lake,” Hoess said.
“We’re thrilled to open the Wanderlust experi-ence to a new part of the country.”
Wanderlust Snowshoe will take place June 5-7. For more information on the festival, visit http://wanderlust.com/festivals/snowshoe/.

Huth coming alive at the plate after overcoming injuryby connor murray
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
Coming into this week-end’s series against Butler, West Virginia had strug-gled to get consistent pro-duction beyond the top of its lineup. During the se-ries finale with the Bull-dogs, however, that may have started to change, and center fielder KC Huth was the spark.
Sporting a .203 aver-age coming into the week-end, Huth was an unlikely source, but after a three-hit day against an old ju-nior college teammate, which included a three-run home run, his average has climbed above the .250 mark.
“KC has been playing really well. He missed all of fall practice with an in-jury. Getting him back in the lineup, now he’s at the halfway point and he’s catching fire,” said head coach Randy Mazey.
“He had a great day to-day, but if we can get him swinging the bat really well at the bottom of the lineup, we always get production out of the top and the mid-dle, but to have guys like Huth and (Caleb) Potter at
the bottom of the lineup have good days that really helps us score runs.”
As Mazey alluded to, just before the start of West Virginia’s fall camp, Huth broke his hand while swinging the bat, which caused him to miss sig-nificant time following his surgery.
Starting the season off cold, Huth had to grind his way back to top form, but he never let his strug-gles at the plate shake his mind set.
“I wasn’t feeling right the first half of the season. I just told myself it’s going to come around and to stay confident, just believe in myself and the work Coach Trout puts in with me and the results will come,” Huth said.
On a historic week-end in WVU’s baseball history, Huth etched his name in the story of the first series at Mononga-lia County Ballpark, and said it has been some-thing he has been antic-ipating since making his commitment to wear the Gold and Blue.
“I’ve been looking for-ward to this moment since I signed here, to come play at this new field. Now that
it’s here it was a real eye-opener for me to have all these fans and see all the support we have,” Huth said.
Before coming to WVU, Huth spent one year at Riverside Commu-nity College, then trans-ferred to Fullerton Col-lege where he spent two more seasons. Now play-ing in the Big 12 and in a brand new stadium, Huth is beginning to get used to life in major college baseball.
“I’ve never played at a level of baseball like this, Division-1, and it’s just a really great atmosphere and I was glad that I did well,” Huth said.
Just like Huth is getting used to his new situation, West Virginia is starting to feel more at home now too. With the days of play-ing home games on unfa-miliar turf behind them, the Mountaineers can fi-nally start to settle in.
“We’ve had to travel a lot. It’s all go, go, go, and then finally it’s a little bit relaxed. I feel like our team is really clicking right now,” Huth said.

WVu competes in mason Spring Invitationalby dj deSkInS
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia Univer-sity women’s track and field team completed their week-end competition on Saturday at the Mason Spring Invita-tional in Fairfax, Va.
This weekend was the Mountaineers’ largest meet of the outdoor season at this point, where they faced nearly three dozen other teams. Of the other schools, WVU faced Columbia, Dartmouth, Georgetown, James Madison, Penn, Temple, VCU and Wil-
liam & Mary.The team traveled to
George Mason after a split weekend between the Stan-ford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., and the Ohio Cherry Blossom Invitational in Ath-ens, Ohio. The Mountain-eers would feature five ath-letes at Stanford, but the group of them would stay home to make up for missed class work during their trip.
“We need to approach the next month as the most important month of train-ing,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “April’s dedication will show dividends come the
championships.”Freshman Shamoya Mc-
Neil highlighted the weekend for WVU, setting a career-best mark in her main event of the triple jump. Her 12.39-meter leap was good enough for sec-ond place and bested her pre-vious best of 12.08 meters.
She finished first in the tri-ple jump at the Ohio Cherry Blossom Invitational, with a mark below 12 meters while also earning a top five finish in the 100-meter dash.
In the high jump, both Mar-sielle McBeam and Hannah Stone finished in the top six. McBeam placed third with a
1.65-meter jump while Stone found herself in a tie for sixth after her 1.60-meter attempt. While McBeam was unable to best her mark from Ath-ens, Stone was able to by 0.03 meters.
“Both Hannah Stone and Marsi McBeam have been named to the All-Big 12 team in the past,” Cleary said. “They will strive for that accolade again this spring.”
Christa D’Egidio found herself in 22nd place for the 400-meter dash. However, she set a career-best time in outdoor competition with a pace of 58.13.
The weekend before in Athens, she competed in the 800-meter run and found herself in a second place fin-ish behind teammate Millie Paladino.
In the 800-meter run, WVU had two athletes finish in the top 25. Kelly Williams in 21st with a time of 2:14.20 and Bri-anna Kerekes just behind her with a 2:14.35 finish.
Sara Finfrock led the way in the pole vault for the Moun-taineers with a mark of 3.35 meters, which was good enough for a tie in fifth place.
“The vault continues to progress while the jumpers
will start coming into their stride soon,” Cleary said. “We are also looking forward to getting our steeplechase girls into the mix over the next month.”
In the 5,000-meter run, WVU saw Allie Diehl cross the line in 20th place with a time of 18:33.13.
The Mountaineers will have a short week ahead of them, returning to competi-tion on Friday for the Virginia Challenge in Charlottesville, Va.

McCutchen returns to lineup, homers as Pirates route Brewers 10-2MILWAUKEE (AP) — An-
drew McCutchen homered and drove in four runs in his return to Pittsburgh’s lineup, Neil Walker hit a three-run shot and the Pirates routed the Milwaukee Brewers 10-2 Sunday.
McCutchen took him-self out of Friday night’s game because of soreness in his left knee and didn’t play Saturday.
McCutchen’s three-run homer helped the Pirates take two of three from Mil-waukee after they were swept in their season-opening series against Cincinnati.
Casey Sadler (1-0) earned his first major league win, go-ing five innings in his first ca-reer start. He pitched in place of ace Francisco Liriano, who is on the paternity leave list.
Sadler gave up two runs and four hits, striking out five.
Kyle Lohse (0-2) allowed four runs and eight hits in 6
1/3 innings. He was tagged for eight runs by Colorado on opening day.
Pirates third baseman Jung Ho Kang got his first big league hit, a leadoff single in the seventh after starting the season 0 for 6. He is the first player to go directly from the South Korea pro league to the majors.
Gregory Polanco’s RBI sin-gle in the third off the glove of second baseman Hector Go-mez put Pittsburgh ahead 1-0.
Carlos Gomez hit his first homer of the season, a two-run shot in the third that gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead.
Polanco began the sixth with a double off the glove of left fielder Khris Davis. Af-ter a single by Jody Mercer, McCutchen hit his second home run of the year into the Pirates’ bullpen in right field.
Walker homered and Mc-Cutchen had an RBI single during a six-run ninth. Da-
vis dropped a line drive for an error, and all six runs were unearned.
TRAINER’S ROOMPirates: Catcher Chris
Stewart, out with a right ham-string strain, was expected to play his first game Sunday with Triple-A Indianapolis after playing two games with Double-A Altoona.
Brewers: RF Ryan Braun started this third straight
game after missing two games with strained back.
UP NEXTPirates: The home opener
is Monday against the Detroit Tigers. RHP Gerrit Cole (0-0) will be making his first career start against the Tigers, who will counter with RHP Shane Greene (1-0).
Brewers: Travel to St. Louis to face the Cardinals in their home opener.

OPENING SWEEP
doyle maurer/the daily athenaeumWest Virginia’s first baseman Jackson Cramer hits the first home run at Monongalia County Ballpark during Friday night’s opening game.
West Virginia sweeps Butler in weekend series, moves record to 21-12by david statman
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia Univer-sity baseball team opened its new home at Monongalia County Ballpark in style this weekend, beating the But-ler Bulldogs by a combined score of 26-9 in a three-game sweep.
West Virginia’s bats erupted over the sweep, with designated hitter Jackson Cramer hitting two home runs – including the first in the history of the ballpark – and center fielder KC Huth going a combined 9-13 with a home run and 6 RBI.
“Both of the last two games we got to see the ball in the daytime, which is a little bit easier on the hitters,” Moun-taineer head coach Randy Mazey said. “Each game we play here is going to give us
a little bit more experience here. Win, lose or draw, ev-ery time you play in here it’s going to help you for the next time.”
Although the Mountain-eers kicked off a new era of their history on Friday night, it nearly didn’t go as planned. Starter Conner Dotson only lasted three innings, and while freshman BJ Myers pitched nearly eight innings of strong relief, the Moun-taineers needed to rally late to force extras.
Neither team scored until the 13th inning, when Moun-taineer third baseman Jus-tin Fox drove a walk-off RBI single to left, winning the game 6-5. Junior Blake Smith earned the win for West Vir-ginia, pushing his season re-cord to 4-1.
“It’s a great feeling, I’m speechless about it,” Fox said after his game-winning
hit. “I feel truly blessed to get that opportunity, espe-cially playing for my home, playing for my state. It feels great.”
After the drama of Friday night, West Virginia settled down and began to mash. The Mountaineer offense combined for 19 runs on Sat-urday and Sunday – Jackson Cramer, who homered in the first game of the series, hit an-other bomb on Saturday as the Mountaineers rolled 8-0.
Second baseman Kyle Davis also hit a home run Saturday afternoon, as ju-nior southpaw Ross Vance cruised through eight shut-out innings to earn his team-high fifth win of the season.
With the series win in hand, the Mountaineers hit the ball hard early and often Sunday afternoon against Butler starter Nick Morton. Justin Fox and KC Huth both
hit long home runs off the top of the ballpark’s ticket office over the left field wall, putting the game away in the early innings.
Meanwhile, sophomore Chad Donato allowed four walks to double his season to-tal, but the righty struck out 10 in six innings to earn his fifth win of the season. Mazey
used four different pitchers on Sunday, as he continues to try and get as many of his pitchers their first taste of the new ballpark as possible.
The Mountaineers were able to enjoy the support of home fans for the first time all season, and the announced total attendance of 6,968 was the highest ever for a week-
end series in Morgantown.The sweep of Butler pushes
West Virginia’s season record to 21-12. The Mountaineers will next be in action Tues-day night, when they take on the Penn State Nittany Lions at the Monongalia County Ballpark.
GymNASTICS
Doggette proving herself after injuries and sophomore seasonby ryan petrovich, charles
clarke & Jackie sagarcorrespondents
In the summer of 2014 Brooklyn Doggette, an 18-year-old incoming fresh-man at West Virginia Uni-versity and two-time quali-fier for the Junior Olympics national team, was looking forward to fulfilling a dream: Competing on the Universi-ty’s gymnastics team just as her mother had done.
While competing her se-nior year in high school, however, Doggette suffered a shoulder injury and the tearing of her anterior cruci-ate ligament (ACL), while re-habbing the shoulder. These injuries sidelined her from the WVU team her fresh-man year.
Doggette, however, didn’t give up. Now a sophomore, she is competing again and posted two career-highs on the bars and balance beam competitions this season.
“I think perseverance de-scribes her the best,” said head coach Jason Butts. “She’s definitely not a quitter. She’s remarkably talented. It defines her character and her fight.”
Butts said Doggette al-ways gives 150 percent and never quits, whether it is in a meet or a routine practice during the week.
Ever since Doggette can remember, she has dreamed of becoming a Mountaineer and following in her parents’ footsteps. She is the daughter of Cecil and Becky Doggette,
who were both athletes at West Virginia University. Ce-cil Doggette played football from 1990-91 and his wife was a gymnast from 1992-93. The family currently re-sides in Pickerington, Ohio.
“It’s nice to have some-one walk in the door and knows what being a Moun-taineer is all about,” Butts said. “She committed on the spot when we offered her the scholarship.”
Not only did Doggette fol-low in the sports path of her mother, she also chose the same major.
Doggette is currently en-rolled in child develop-ment and family studies — the same degree her mother graduated with while she was at WVU.
Doggette had achieved recognition even before signing with the University. While competing in club gymnastics she earned hon-ors such as being a two-time Junior Olympics National Team qualifier and placed third in the all-around 2010 Ohio State Championships.
“I just knew I always wanted to go (to WVU),” Doggette said. “(My par-ents) going here was just like a booster for me.”
For their part, her parents were ecstatic when their daughter finally inked the letter of intent to do gymnas-tics at their alma mater.
“She couldn’t wait (to compete). She cried the first time, I’m going to cry right now talking about it,” Becky Doggette said. “It was big
deal for us.”During high school, how-
ever, Brooklyn dealt with multiple shoulder surgeries and an ankle injury. While rehabbing her most recent shoulder injury, she tore her ACL– for the second time.
It took Doggette roughly six months to get back on track. With an ACL tear, it’s not impossible to return to 100 percent, but it takes a special athlete to maintain the right mindset and deter-mination to tackle the rehab process and remain patient, Butts said.
For now, Doggette seems to have overcome her inju-ries. On March 8, in a meet against Penn State, she set two career-highs; a 9.825 on the bars and a 9.825 on the balance beam.
Doggette doesn’t dwell on the past or her injuries.
“It’s always in the back of my mind, but you try not to think about it and just train like you know what to do and trust your body,” she said.
She was very excited about being able to finally compete for the University. The West Virginia gymnas-tics team finished its season as they placed fifth in the Morgantown Regional.
“WVU pride is like noth-ing else,” Doggette said. “Football games, basketball games and even gymnastics meets, the fans are always loud and supportive it’s a great atmosphere to com-pete in.”

WVU loses eighth straight gameby ben carter
sports correspondent @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia Uni-versity women’s ten-nis team lost yet another match over the weekend, this time to No. 15 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas. This loss also pushes the teams losing streak to eight straight games.
The Mountaineers (9-9, 0-6 Big 12) fell behind early and couldn’t find a way to recover as senior Ikttesh Chahal and fresh-man Habiba Shaker fell by a score of 6-1 to Texas Tech’s Lynn Kiro and Sa-brina Federici. Then, to secure the doubles point for the Lady Raiders, Sarah Dvorak and Katelyn Jack-son bested West Virgin-ia’s Kaja Mrgole and Yvon Martinez, 6-0.
The Mountaineers pain-ful day continued as Texas
Tech (16-4, 6-1 Big 12) got wins at the No, 2, 3 and 5 spots to win the match in straight sets.
West Virginia’s Hailey Barrett, Shaker and Car-olina Lewis were all de-feated in straight sets, to make matters worse. It was the first time Lewis was de-feated this season in sin-gles action.
Other Mountaineers saw action including Mrgole at the No. 1 slot, but the matches went un-finished after Lewis fell in her match.
“Not much went our way, but I thought we con-tinued to battle and cre-ated some sort of an op-portunity,” second-year head coach Miha Lisac said in an interview with WVUSports.com. “We are still looking for answers in doubles.”
The Mountaineers are looking for answers in
many aspects of their game as this continues not only the aforementioned losing streak, but also the Big 12 Conference losing streak the Mountaineers have found themselves in, that dates back to the 2012 season.
With just three matches remaining before the Big 12 Tournament, the Moun-
taineers will just be look-ing to stay above .500, but will need to find a way to win two of their next three matches to do so.
The next time the Moun-taineers hit the courts is on April 18 against Big 12 ri-val Oklahoma at the Rid-geview Racquet Club.
