University students, professor organize fundraiser for Ryan DivineyBY TRAVIS CRUM

STAFF WRITER

A fundraiser will be held Wednesday for the family of Ryan Diviney and to raise aware-ness about acts of violence.

Ryan, a West Virginia Univer-sity sophomore general stud-ies major, was maliciously as-saulted and left in a coma after a November incident.

Th e event will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. at Dragon-fl y restaurant on Chestnut Street in Morgantown.

Ryan was attacked outside the Willey Street Dairy Mart Nov. 7

at 3:10 a.m. by Jonathan May, 18, and Austin Vantrease, 18, of Newark, Del. Th e two teens were charged with malicious assault in connection with the beating.

Two WVU students close to Ryan and a sociology professor organized a grass-roots fund-raiser to help the Diviney family with rising daily costs of health care for Ryan.

Jon Welsh, a sophomore polit-ical science major, and Hannah Ellis, a sophomore public rela-tions major, want to see a suc-cessful fundraiser because they know how much it means to the Diviney family.

“I’m constantly going to see him. I just went the other day, and he looks better every time,” Welsh said. “It makes me want to do more and more to help him.”

Welsh, who was Ryan’s room-mate, said the house is not the same without Ryan and his dog Duke around.

During the fundraiser, a raffl e and silent auction will be held, and all proceeds will go to the Ryan’s Rally trust fund.

Items to be raffl ed off include gift certifi cates, tanning pack-ages, hotel accommodations at the SpringHill Suites Mar-

riott, movie passes, a netbook and other WVU items. More will hopefully be added to the drawing such as a liquor basket, said Daniel Brewster, a sociol-ogy professor, who started the fundraiser.

Dragonfl y will donate 5 per-cent to 10 percent of its food and drink profi ts to the trust fund. Guests may bring cash or checks made payable to the trust fund for donation.

“(Welsh) and I were really good friends with Ryan, and he would defi nitely be doing the same for us,” Ellis said.

Th e people of Morgantown

coming together shows how big-hearted its residents are, said Ken Diviney, Ryan’s father.

“I thank the people of Mor-gantown for their continued support. We still get cards from people we don’t know – just a Morgantown postage stamp,” Ken said. “We just got a WVU-style prayer quilt from the Sun-crest United Methodist Church. Ryan would love it.”

Recently, Ryan was accepted into the Kessler Institute for Re-habilitation in northern New Jersey and will be moving next week. Ken is excited because Ryan has begun to look like his

old self again. “I’m happy he’s put weight

back on and has his fl exibility back,” Ken said. “He can stretch his fi ngers out to normal now.”

Ken and his family work with Ryan daily to stretch out his joints and prevent them from locking. Recently, Brewster bought the family a continuous passive motion machine to help stretch Ryan’s legs.

It is amazing how much Brewster has done for the fam-ily even though he did not know Ryan personally, Ken said.

Candidates come to campusStrategic plan

council formedWVU B&E DEAN SEARCH

BY GAVIN MATELASTAFF WRITER

Jose “Zito” Sartarelli, the fi rst of seven dean candidates for the College of Business & Econom-ics, visited West Virginia Univer-sity Monday.

Sartarelli spoke to students, staff and faculty as part of an open session during his visit. He said he intended to focus on im-proving three main areas of the school: funding, quality and the Masters of Business Administra-tion program.

With funding, Sartarelli in-tends to spend more time en-gaged with alumni from the col-lege by giving them reasons to return to the University and sup-port the business program.

Sartarelli acknowledged in the next 10 years a number of professors will retire, and he intends to focus on replacing them with even more qualifi ed candidates.

He also said the MBA pro-gram needs to expand, citing “the current pool of 50 MBA stu-dents does not compete with the 200 MBA students at local uni-versities such as the University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne Univer-sity and Penn State.”

In March, Sartarelli ended his more than eight-year run with Johnson & Johnson Company as group chairman for Asia-Pacifi c, Japan and Latin America.

Prior to joining Johnson & Johnson, he served as president of the Latin America, Puerto Rico and Canadian branches within the Worldwide Medicines Group Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.

Sartarelli has also held var-ious senior positions in mar-keting and management at Eli Lilly.

Sartarelli is the sole fi nalist with no previous university ex-perience. He said he would be interested in teaching ethics and business strategy.

Jo Morrow, program assistant at the College of Business & Eco-nomics, said Sartarelli will bring insight to WVU with his experi-ence in the corporate world.

“It will bring a wider view of what the students might be getting into after they graduate from the business college,” she said.

CHELSI BAKER/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMPeter Lorenzi, Ph.D., a dean candidate for the College of Business and Economics, discusses his past achievements and career goals with faculty during his interview Monday afternoon.

BY JOSH COOPERSTAFF WRITER

Peter Lorenzi, a professor of management at Loyola Uni-versity, was the second dean candidate to interview for the position at West Virginia Uni-versity’s College of Business & Economics Monday.

Approximately 15 members of the college’s staff were pres-ent at the second of Loren-zi’s three interviews. Th ey ex-pressed concerns for leadership styles, overall image of the col-lege, indecisiveness and park-ing. Th ey also stated morale in the college is low.

“My (leadership) style is up-beat and positive; it’s dynamic and data-driven,” Lorenzi said. “My education, experience and accomplishments provide an excellent response to the needs of the college.”

Lorenzi served as dean of the College of Business Administra-tion at the University of Central Arkansas and as associate dean and associate professor of man-agement at Marquette Univer-sity. He has taught courses in England, Moscow and India.

“I’ve been in higher educa-tion for about 40 years,” Lorenzi

said. “It’s the right time, place and opportunity for me to work as dean.”

One of Lorenzi’s greatest concerns is to develop and in-crease “branding.” He wants to promote and “improve the overall image of the College.”

He also presented a plan, stating he will spend his fi rst three months, if selected as the new dean, collecting data on what improvements need to take place; the next three months discussing and plan-ning improvements; and the next six months implementing the improvements.

If selected as dean, Lorenzi plans on it being his “last stop on my train in life.”

Th ere are seven fi nalists in the competition for dean. WVU President James P. Clements and Provost Michele Wheatly will ultimately make the deci-sion, but the search commit-tee for the dean strongly infl u-ences the decision, said Susan Maczko, senior project coor-dinator for WVU Institutional Research.

Student loan reform to take eff ect July 1

BY SHAY MAUNZASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR

West Virginia University’s Strategic Planning Council has been created and will begin the strategic planning process, which will continue through next year.

Provost Michele Wheatly made the announcement at Monday’s Faculty Senate meet-ing, and the names of those ap-pointed to the council will be released today.

Faculty Senate Chair Nigel Clark will chair the council, Wheatly said, which signifi es the “integration of the plan-ning process between faculty and higher administration.”

Wheatly said the Council will “serve as the brain of the strate-gic planning exercises that will unfold at WVU.”

Th ree work groups have also been created to take part in the process: one to focus on discov-ery and innovation, one for in-clusivity and another for inter-national activity.

Wheatly said officials will work to task the groups through-out the rest of the week, and more work groups will be cre-ated in coming months to aid the planning process.

University President James P. Clements has requested the Planning Council submit a plan by next fall. Wheatly added, “so hopefully by the end of the year 2010, we can have the plan

signed, sealed and delivered to the Board of Governors.”

Also at Monday’s meeting, the Senate heard from the two candidates for Faculty Senate Chair-elect: Marjorie McDiar-mid and Lesley Cottrell.

Cottrell, an associate profes-sor in the Department of Podi-atry in WVU’s School of Med-icine, said she would like to examine issues to make pro-cesses within the Senate more effi cient. She also stressed the importance of senators serving as a liaison between the Sen-ate and their corresponding constituencies.

McDiarmid, a professor in WVU’s College of Law, identi-fi ed key challenges facing WVU in coming years, including the need to build the University’s infrastructure to keep up with its growth and stressing to leg-islators the importance of WVU to the state.

The council also unani-mously approved amendments to the Faculty Constitution.

“We wanted to defi ne a few issues that were missing in the Constitution and to provide a few minor revisions – ba-sically a clean up,” said Steve Kite, who chaired the commit-tee in charge of making the revisions.

Th e amendments will now be taken to the faculty assembly meeting in October for a vote.

Student loan reform written into the new health care law will take eff ect July 1.

Private banks will no longer handle federally backed student loans, and the government will lend directly to students. Th e changes will not directly im-pact loans issued by West Vir-ginia University.

Previously, students could obtain low interest federally backed loans from private in-termediaries such as banks and credit unions through the Fed-eral Family Education Loan Program. Approximately 3,000 schools used the program to administer loans to their stu-dents, said Steve Riff on, client services manager at WVU’s Of-fi ce of Financial Aid.

Another 2,000 schools, in-cluding WVU, already use the Federal Direct Student Loan Program, which uses money coming directly from the fed-

eral government. Riffon said the new law

will end FFELP in favor of the FDSLP.

“All schools will transfer over to direct lending schools,” he said.

The Congressional Budget Office expects the reform to save $62 billion from fees as-sessed by intermediaries over the next decade. In total, $36 billion of the savings will go to the Federal Pell Grant program to provide funding to low-in-come college students.

To qualify for Federal Pell grants, students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Th e FAFSA indicates a stu-dent’s expected family contri-bution, and if their expected contribution is low enough, a student may be eligible to ob-tain a Pell grant. Under the new law this limit will be raised to include more students, Riff on

Hundreds gather one week after mine disasterCHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Hundreds

turned out at the West Virginia Capitol grounds in Charleston for a ceremony mark-ing one week nearly to the hour since an un-derground explosion killed 29 miners in Ra-leigh County.

More than a dozen of their family mem-bers were among those who gathered and prayed Monday at a statue honoring the state’s coal miners. Bird

Four black-ribboned wreaths were placed there along with 29 helmets also bearing black ribbons. Th e largest of the wreaths featured a white rose for each miner killed as well as two yellow roses for the pair injured.

A bell sounded for each of the dead. Gov. Joe Manchin and U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis were among the offi cials there who vowed to investigate the deadly blast and respond with measures to prevent another such disaster.

APWest Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin asks for a moment of silence to honor the 29 miners killed one week ago in an explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine during a memorial service in front of the coal miner statue at the State Capitol in Charleston, W.Va. Monday.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Fed-eral investigators arrived Monday at the West Virginia mine where 29 men died in an explosion last week to begin piecing together what caused the worst U.S. coal mining disaster since 1970.

Th irty miles to the north, hun-dreds of mourners including the governor observed a moment of silence at the state Capitol, dur-ing a wreath-laying ceremony at the foot of a statue honoring the state’s miners. Karen Barker was among scores of state workers who attended.

“My dad was a miner and my grandfather was a miner. I have no idea how these people feel about losing their family member, but I can imagine,” said Barker, 46, of Charleston.

Th e team of inspectors at the Up-per Big Branch mine weren’t head-ing underground until searchers removed all the bodies from the mine. Th e team from the Mine Safety and Health Administration briefed Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis and MSHA director Joe Main at the mine.

Th e last bodies were expected to be taken out Monday, state mine offi ce spokeswoman Jama Jarrett said. Recovery eff orts had been

stalled in previous days by volatile gases, but teams entered after the tunnels were ventilated.

She said the crews late Monday were near where the bodies are located.

Th e state panel that writes min-ing safety rules and typically re-views inspectors’ reports after the investigations are complete said it would like to join the investigators underground this time.

Richmond, Va.-based Massey has been under scrutiny for a string of safety violations at the mine, though CEO Don Blankenship has defended the company’s record and disputed accusations that he puts profi ts ahead of safety.

Authorities have said high meth-ane levels may have played a role in the disaster. Massey has been re-peatedly cited and fi ned for prob-lems with the system that vents methane and for allowing com-bustible dust to build up.

Hours after the blast, the com-pany fl ew Gov. Joe Manchin back from a Florida vacation on one of its planes, Manchin said. Th e governor’s top lawyer told him the use of the company’s plane was acceptable because it was an emergency and a fl ight on a state plane couldn’t immediately be

arranged.New York state’s comptroller

and a pension fund adviser called for Blankenship’s resignation im-mediately as chairman of Massey’s board.

Comptroller Th omas DiNapoli, trustee of a retirement fund hold-ing more than 300,000 shares of Massey stock worth $14 million, said the company failed to ade-quately manage risks at the West Virginia mine where 29 died after an explosion.

A similar challenge came in a letter to Massey from William Pat-terson, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based CtW In-vestment Group, which works with union pension funds.

Mourning continued exactly a week after the explosion, with the ceremony at the state Capitol and a moment of silence at 3:30 p.m. President Barack Obama ordered all U.S. fl ags in the state fl own at half-staff until sunset Sunday.

Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell also asked people in his state to observe the moment of silence. He restored $750,000 in funding for mine safety inspections in Vir-ginia to the state’s strained budget, saying the tragedy in West Virginia was a wakeup call.

Beneath a sunny sky, several hundred people held hands and prayed aloud during the ceremony. Four black-ribboned wreaths were placed at the memorial, as more than a dozen family members of those killed looked on.

Th e largest bore white roses for each miner killed, and two yellow roses for the injured. Twenty-nine yellow helmets were lined up in front of the statue, a black ribbon on each.

A bell rang 29 times for each of the fallen miners. During a mo-ment of silence that followed, sobs could be heard both from the fam-ily and the crowd thronged around them with heads bowed.

“Our goal is to have the safest workplace in America,” Manchin said. “Someone who’s willing to work hard and put everything on the line to provide for themselves and their family...should expect to come home safely.”

Solis attended the ceremony and echoed that sentiment, while off ering condolences to the family from President Barack Obama.

“No miner should ever lose his life in order to provide for his fam-ily,” Solis said. “I will do everything in my power to ensure that we pre-vent these kinds of tragedies.”

Woman accepts ‘Village

Idiot’ award for hair blaze

STORY, Ind. (AP) — A woman whose hair caught fi re when her hair-spray-coated follicles ignited as she lit a cigarette is now a southern Indiana town’s reigning “Village Idiot.”

Dani Hamm earned the honor-ary title this month by getting the most votes from regulars at the Story Inn, a restaurant and bar about 15 miles east of Bloomington where she’s a bartender.

The title awarded every April comes with a $100 bar tab at the rural inn.

Hamm was driving to work in Febru-ary when she lit up a cigarette and then heard a “whoosh” as her hair ignited.

She wasn’t injured because she used her hands to douse her hair, which she had coated with a liberal layer of hairspray.

He was given a reprimand and fi nal warning after an internal investigation.

Iowan ready for prom in

gum-wrapper dress

teen is all bubbly over her one-of-a-kind high school prom dress she made out of gum wrappers.

Elizabeth Rasmuson made her dress – and matching vest for her date – out of blue and white wrappers from Wrigley’s “5 gum.”

The high school junior says she got the idea after hearing about someone making a dress out of duct tape.

She and her boyfriend began collect-ing gum wrappers last August.

Rasmuson says she quit counting af-ter 200.

Since the wrappers break easily, Ras-muson fi nished her dress with a vinyl top coat.

A West Virginia Toughman Contest took place at the Hazel and J.W. Ruby Community Cen-ter Friday and Saturday night for the sixth time in the city’s history.

Seas of people wearing T-shirts reading “Wimps need not ap-ply,” “No kicking, no biting, no crying, bleeding permitted,” and “Toughmen don’t tap,” fi lled the confi nes of the center.

Th ere were 41 amateur fi ghts and two professional fi ghts that took place over the weekend.

“Once I saw a guy knocked out lying there for 20 minutes,” said West Virginia freshman physical education major Michael McK-enzie. “Th ey came right out and tried to throw a big haymaker, but he got caught fi rst. It happens once every Toughman.”

The contest drew out both the area’s most polished box-ers and those who some in the crowd called “beer-bellied hill-billies” alike. One bout between Westover natives, “Fearless” Cliff Hough and Th omas “Buck Nasty” Hewitt, fell into the latter cate-gory, with a combined weight of more than 600 pounds.

Everyone from accountants to coal miners to students could be found in the fi eld of 57 fi ght-ers participating in 41 bouts in front of 2,000 rowdy and raucous fans.

Local celebrities such as the Mayor of Grafton, G. Thomas Bartlett III, and the clerk of Har-rison County, Susan J. Th omas, were announced in as among those in attendance while Mayor

of Westover, former profes-sional boxer Dave Johnson ref-ereed many of the bouts, adding a touch of glitz and glamor to a largely blue collar crowd.

Emerging from the slew of Morgantown tough guys were heavyweight winner Michael Noonan, light-heavyweight vic-tor Dave Forsyth, and middle-weight champ Brandon Horner.

Two professional fi ghts also

found their way on to the Tough-man bill.

In Friday’s bout, Jameel Hicks of Fairmont scored a second round knockout of Khristian Geraci. In Saturday’s fi ght, Jere-miah “the Bullfrog” Karpency de-feated Jon Williams by technical knockout.

“West Virginia may be the lead-ing state in the country in terms of numbers of events, number of

fi ghters and number of specta-tors,” said fi ght promoter Jerry Th omas. “Th is year, over 1000 fi ghters will compete in 11 events in West Virginia.”

Jerry began promoting fi ghts after his brother, Tommy, de-cided to become a professional boxer. Tommy Th omas won the West Virginia and Pennsylvania Golden Gloves and was ranked 6th by the World Boxing Associ-

ation at his peak. “Tommy was 19 when he de-

cided he wanted to box,” Th omas said. “When I couldn’t talk him out of it, I fi gured I’d better help him. It was moral support and publicity to start with. Th en after a few years, I started promoting events for him.”

Since he began promoting 33 years ago, Th omas has worked events across the U.S., as well as

Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Den-mark, Italy, France, England and Canada. In his career, he has pro-moted more than 1,000 fi ghts.

Besides providing a forum for local armchair athletes to put their money where their mouth is, Toughman has also spawned the career of several professional fi ghters, including state heavy-weight champ Justin “Lumber-jack” Howes, who worked the event as a cornerman.

Toughman also started the boxing career of Hicks, a 28-year-old nurse from the Bronx who works at Fairmont General Hospital.

Hicks had only fought one professional fi ght, a fi rst-round knockout win, prior to Friday’s victory.

“Probably two years ago I started training and learning to box,” Hicks said. “Th en I fought the Toughman in 2008 in Clarks-burg and won that. I had my fi rst pro fi ght that same year, June 2008.”

Toughman also launched the career of 82 champion Rick Wray, whose sons, Jared and Josh Wray, competed in this year’s Morgan-town contest

Next year, Thomas plans to bring the event back to the same arena, a welcome diff erence from several previous years, where venue unavailability has kept Toughman out of Morgantown.

“Th e event center is a great venue for us,” Th omas said.

“It gives us some room to grow with a capacity of about 4,000, and I think now that we have a nice venue, we can do that.”

Tennis falls to DePaul, defeats Seton Hall in Big East battleBY MICHAEL CARVELLI

SPORTS WRITER

Th e last time the West Virginia tennis team went on the road for a match against a Big East Confer-ence foe, it didn’t end in a pleas-ing result for the Mountaineers as WVU fell 6-1 to DePaul.

When WVU (15-5, 5-2 Big East) took on Seton Hall Saturday, how-ever, WVU dominated the Pirates 6-1.

After sweeping all three matches to win the doubles point to start off the match, WVU won fi ve of the six singles points and lost just two sets in the entire match.

“We went out and took care of business,” said West Virginia head coach Marc Walters. “Th ey seem to be fi guring out that we only have a week-and-a-half left in the regular season, and they all brought some good energy to the court and that showed with our play.”

In singles play, the lone WVU loss went to senior Stephanie La-Fortune, who fell in the fi rst set to Seton Hall’s Denise Liebschner 4-6 before bouncing back to win the second set 6-1. LaFortune fell 7-10 in the tiebreaker.

“(Stephanie) had some good op-portunities to win,” Walters said. “Usually if we have a close match

at No. 1, 2, or 3, it can go either way because both teams are about equally talented at those spots.”

At the No. 2 spot in the lineup, sophomore Veronica Cardenas came away with a straight-set vic-tory over Elizabeth Verow, 6-1, 6-2. Monique Burton followed Carde-nas’ win with a win, beating Belfi n Sunbul 6-4, 2-6 (11-9).

“She lost a lot of momentum, but she didn’t let it get her frustrated and closed the match out very ag-gressively,” Walters said.

With the exception of Bur-ton and LaFortune’s matches, no other matches in singles play went into the third set. Sophomore Katie Haught beat Courtney Kilarski 6-3, 6-1 out of the No. 5 spot and junior Ashley Pilsbury won 6-3, 6-2 over

Michelle Weerasinghe. But it was freshman Emily Ma-

this who might have put in the best performance of the day. Th e Flower Mound, Texas, native made quick work of her opponent, Karina Cor-dero, in straight sets, 6-0, 6-1.

“Emily had a tremendous match for us at No. 4,” Walters said. “She just went out there and absolutely took that girl to town.”

Th e win adds on to a solid sea-son for the Mountaineers, one that Walters said he doesn’t think he’s had since the fi rst year that he was with the program.

“Th e team we had when I got here had more talent,” Walters said. “We had some of the most talented players that we’ve ever had here in that fi rst season.”

He believes the fi rst team he in-herited might have been a little bit more talented, Walters said this year’s version of the program has an edge in heart.

WVU will go back on the road later this week when travel to Phil-adelphia for another Big East test against Villanova.

We would like to thank the outgoing student body represen-tatives, especially former SGA President Jason Zuccari and for-mer Vice President Whitney Rae Peters, for their dedication and service to the University and stu-dents for the past year.

Much of what they did went

unseen and unreported – such as securing student seating in the wake of rowdy fan behavior – but that does not take away from the success they achieved during their time in offi ce.

As the new SGA members sent off the previous administration, we hope the new student leaders, especially SGA President Chris Lewallen and Vice President Ron Cheng, can build upon the work of the past year and keep their promise of changing student government for the better.

Chief among those promises was a more transparent and in-clusive SGA.

Time will tell if the current SGA can shed its image of be-ing a “clique” and following through on their commitment to openness.

As Ken Gray, vice president of Student Aff airs, advised the newly sworn in SGA, the admin-istration should identify a few unifying themes to accomplish in the coming year.

While Lewallen acknowledged

that not all goals can be accom-plished in a single year, the ad-ministration should work to ap-propriately budget time and resources to tackle those tasks which are feasible.

“I may be a little biased, but I do believe we have the best student govern-ment anyone has ever seen. I cannot wait to see what we can do together,” Lewallen said in his inaugural address. “Th is is a big jump start that will help us with our goal of reform and

opportunity.”For once, we hope the admin-

istration will work to truly ac-complish great things for the stu-dents of this University.

And, as Cheng reminded his newly minted SGA, character counts.

We hope all the members of the new SGA work to shine a pos-itive light on the University at all times, representing and standing up for the students at all times.

From last week’s “South Park” episode to a couple real-life aca-demic discussions, I’ve had sev-eral reminders of how big and complicated Facebook is these days.

In the same way that every youth subculture will inevitably be repurposed and sold as a fash-ion, Facebook started as a place for college students to connect to a mass audience, and with its growth in popularity, became a major refl ection of a person as an individual.

It’s perfectly fine for busi-nesses to want to grow, but I have to wonder what social network-ing’s appeal is for college students anymore.

Many among the college crowd

who lamented Facebook’s deci-sion to no longer require a college e-mail address for registration became even further displeased when their parents signed up – students attempted cover-ups be-fi tting the Nixon administration when it was clear that employers were watching.

Yahoo! Finance recently pub-lished an article entitled “6 Ca-reer-Killing Facebook Mistakes,” which outlines aspects of one’s Facebook profi le that will refl ect poorly upon his or her image in the workplace.

Th e list items should be pretty obvious; no one’s boss is going to take kindly to status updates about hating a current job or slacking during work.

The only item on the Face-book hit list that I fi nd problem-atic is that social networking in-volves a high degree of guilt by association.

Some guilt by association is un-

derstandable, but there is a point at which it has unfortunate social implications.

For example, let’s say I receive a friend request on Facebook from someone I do not know. If I add this person and it turns out he or she is using Facebook for the so-licitation of Vicodin, I should “un-friend” the person.

It will look more than a lit-tle sketchy for me to associate with someone spamming Face-book to sell prescription drugs. Guilt by association would be reasonable.

Let’s say, for another example, that I have a friend, who I know personally as a good person, but who is also very into the party scene and makes it clear with pic-tures on Facebook.

I’m sure many people have friends like this.

If a potential employer sees that you are friends with a noto-rious party animal, the employer

may think you too are such an animal.

So, for employment’s sake, you should probably not be friends with this person online.

But is that fair to real-life relationships?

Would you say to someone in person, “I’m sorry, but we can’t be friends anymore because you’re not marketable?” I hope most people would not, but that’s the way social networks are often treated.

The Yahoo! article also said that 30 percent more employers looked at Facebook than Linke-dIn. In some fi elds, it is or will soon be essential for college stu-dents and recent graduates to have a LinkedIn profi le.

Even though LinkedIn is a pro-fessional network designed for business connections and re-sume promotion, it is not being used as much as Facebook, which was originally designed for social,

more casual use. If Facebook is employers’ preferred network, then for the age group of career upstarts, Facebook is a de facto professional network.

Being a relatively new network, LinkedIn is still growing. If Linke-dIn becomes popular enough, Fa-cebook’s professional network tendencies could lessen.

Even then, however, Facebook is so culturally signifi cant that em-ployers are unlikely to turn away from it as a source of scoping out their potential hires.

I’ve never been that into Face-book and haven’t generally felt like Facebook’s policy changes sucked the fun out of it for me, but I can defi nitely see why so many young people harbor bitterness over it. Th e audience the site was designed for is now the audience that is negatively aff ected by it more than any other.

The Yahoo! article suggests people create two Facebook pro-

fi les – one kept private for social use and one public for profes-sional use.

Th is is as good a solution as any, although I might worry that having a second, private profi le would raise suspicions that I had something to hide.

It’s these kinds of thoughts that make me frequently think young people should just give up on so-cial networking altogether, but since we were around for the ad-vent of social media, we’re ex-pected to be familiar, if not profi -cient, with using it.

Social media now plays an integral role in the job market. I’m not insinuating that people should put whatever they want online without consequence, but the idea of using online networks for simply communicating with friends looks like it’s slowly be-coming obsolete.

Social networking is dead. Long live online resume posting.

Students hurt by the network they helped popularize, Facebook

Working to make Greek housing safer for students

There’s a grassroots move-ment underway in this nation that will make sorority and fra-

ternity housing on college cam-puses safer.

The Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act is a solution not only for cash-strapped uni-versities to improve on-campus housing maintained by not-for-profits, but also opens up op-tions for private donors who are now restricted from making tax

deductible contributions.This April, I will be part of 102

Panhellenic women from across the nation headed to Washing-ton, D.C., to convince members of Congress of the importance of this legislation.

We will be making cer-tain facts known to Congress, including:

More than 250,000 college �students live in more than 8,000 sorority and fraternity housing facilities

Th ose facilities have a grow-�ing backlog of more than $1 bil-lion in housing improvement and safety projects

Contributors and donors �who want to improve Greek hous-

ing across the country cannot re-ceive a simple tax deduction for making their contributions dedi-cated to Greek housing

Equitable tax treatment un-der the proposed legislation will make a difference, partic-ularly in older and historical buildings on many campuses

that are owned, managed and maintained by sororities and fraternities.

Guaranteeing that all student housing is safe benefits both the campus and our community.

During the last year, Th e Daily Athenaeum has printed sev-eral articles related to the fra-ternity housing system and the increased involvement by West Virginia University – commonly called the Fraternity Housing Initiative.

Unfortunately, many of the ar-ticles have communicated some incorrect statements. I would like to clear up some of this misinformation.

Below are some of the miscon-

ceptions that seem to be circulat-ing around campus:

WVU “took over” the frater-nity system.

Wrong. Alumni leadership from some of the fraternities vol-untarily entered into agreements with WVU to help manage their buildings – often due to a lack of local alumni support which had made building management in-creasingly diffi cult.

No fraternity, to my knowl-edge, was given an ultimatum by WVU. In fact, several went to WVU in search of an arrangement – not the other way around.

WVU owns all the fraternity

houses.Absolutely incorrect. In fact, there is only one house

that I am aware of that is owned by WVU – and this house was “gifted” to WVU. Th e rest are pri-vately owned by each fraternity’s alumni organization, a private landlord or a national fraternity.

Recent fraternity house ren-ovations and construction proj-ects were paid for by WVU.

Again not true. In every case but one, renovations have been paid for by the fraternities themselves.

Fraternity housing corpo-rations used their own private money, or money loaned by pri-

vate banks, to make necessary improvements.

Tuition money is being spent on fraternity houses.

Not even close. Rent dollars generated from residents at fra-ternity houses is the money that is used to manage these buildings.

This new Fraternity Hous-ing Initiative is a self-sustaining system independent of tuition money.

WVU will control all of the fraternities soon.

Th is is presumptuous and, at this time, inaccurate. Maybe the remaining fraternities who have

not entered into a negotiated agreement with WVU will do so, and maybe they won’t.

Th is is done on a case-by-case basis; and some groups may de-cide to negotiate house manage-ment with WVU, and some may not. Time will tell.

WVU will permanently run the fraternity system.

Maybe, and maybe not. Lease arrangements between WVU and each fraternity are tempo-rary – just like a lease arrange-ment with a landlord.

Most of these agreements last fi ve years. Near the end of the fi ve year term WVU and frater-nity leadership will examine the

arrangement, decide if the ar-rangement has been benefi cial to their interests and make deci-sions accordingly.

I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion and inac-curacies. Ultimately, WVU and fraternity leadership want the same thing – an opportunity for students to be successful.

Providing a clean, safe yet en-joyable living environment is considered by many to be an important element for student success.

WVU professor receives Benedum AwardBY BRITTNI MCGUIRE

A&E WRITER

Mark Brazaitis will be honored with the 2009-10 Humanities and Arts Benedum Distinguished Scholar Award today in the Moun-tainlair’s Rhododendron Room.

Brazaitis is an associate profes-sor of English at West Virginia Uni-versity, as well as the director of the creative writing program.

He will be honored with a recep-

tion following his lecture, “Th e In-curables: Writing Madness, Hope-lessness and Hope.”

“It’s a wonderful award, and I am very grateful to have received it,” Brazaitis said. “Th ere are ter-rific scholars, thinkers, writers and artists on the faculty at WVU, and I am honored to be in their company.”

Brazaitis has put a lot of work into his career to be recognized with this award.

As well as teaching at WVU, he is an avid writer.

“I write whenever I can, al-though it never feels like enough,” Brazaitis said. “Writing stories, poems and essays is something I would be doing even if I wasn’t employed by a university. While frustrating at times, writing is, for me, never anything but a deep pleasure.”

Brazaitis fi rst had a love for Eng-lish before deciding to become a

professor.“I loved English from an early

age because my grandmother wor-shipped poets,” Brazaitis said. “Her favorites were Robert Frost, Wil-liam Blake and Elizabeth Bishop, and they soon became mine.”

He didn’t decide to become a professor until the age of 29 when he was fi nished traveling as a part of the Peace Corps.

“I moved to New York City and saw an ad for an English professor

at the Helene Fuld College of Nurs-ing in Harlem, and even though I spilled coff ee all over my linen suit during the interview, I got the job,” Brazaitis said.

Four years later, Brazaitis was off ered a job at WVU.

Brazaitis is a winner of the 2008 ABZ Poetry Prize for his book “Th e Other Language: Poems,” and he has authored three fi ction books: “Th e River of Lost Voices: Stories from Guatemala,” winner of the

1998 Iowa Short Fiction Award, “Steal My Heart” and “An Ameri-can Aff air: Stories,” winner of the 2004 George Garrett Fiction Prize from Texas Review Press.

Anyone who attends the lecture will have the chance to ask Brazai-tis questions and attend the recep-tion afterwards.

Th e event starts at 4 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

Doves’ latest eff ort off ers more than collection of greatest hits

At its core, Doves is a moder-ately safe Brit rock trio able to ei-ther pack arenas of fans or whose music could function as cafe back-ground music.

But this gross oversimplifi cation doesn’t mean Doves’ music isn’t worth listening to for those with an obscure music taste or who will-fully refuse to appreciate a band whose popularity allows them to reach the top position on UK al-bum charts.

Members of the band, partic-ularly the outfi t’s songwriter and vocalist Jez Williams, artfully excel at writing melodies and present-ing a fully developed, well-written song with their signature reverb-drenched guitars in a matter of fi ve minutes or less.

For “Th e Places Between: Th e Best of Doves,” the band off ers a two-disc compilation halved by a best–of disc with the other featur-ing B-sides and alternative takes.

In addition to both discs, “Places Between” includes a DVD, “Th e Music Videos,” comprised of Doves’13 videos.

Th e track listing on “Places Be-

tween” is not chronological; the band chose to begin the album with what it considers its best mu-sical moment, with the xylophone-tinged “Th ere Goes the Fear,” a me-diocre single from 2002’s “Th e Last Broadcast.”

Following the opener are singles from 2005’s “Some Cities,” which struggle to meet the caliber of the 2000 eff ort and debut album “Lost Souls,” the album which captured Doves’ spirit best.

The case may be that Doves sympathizes with this notion and decided not to chronologically track the album in order to avoid

beginning the album with a high point and trailing the listener off to the forgettable, but still enjoyable, tracks from following albums.

Unfortunately, the most mem-orable tracks featured on “Lost Souls,” including “Break Me Gen-tly” and “Rise,” were not released as singles and accordingly cannot be included in this collection of ra-dio releases.

Prior to the release of the album, Doves made “Andalucia” available for download, a song available only through download from the band’s Web site, now featured on “Places Between.”

Th e B-sides and alternative takes disc highlights include “Willow’s Song,” a song from the soundtrack to the 1973 fi lm “Th e Wicker Man,” fi rst covered by Th e Sneaker Pimps in 1996 and an alternative and ap-propriately titled “Firesuite (Noise Version),” an alternative take to the opening track from “Lost Souls.”

Th e sheer volume of music and visual off ering of “Places Between” make this package worth investing in.

If you’re unfamiliar with Doves and have a penchant for bands similar to Mew or Spoon, start with “Lost Souls,” not here.

Conan O’Brien fi nds a new home with ‘very funny’ TBS

BY DAVID RYANEDITORINCHIEF

On the opening day of his na-tionwide tour, Conan O’Brien announced he has found a new home.

TBS, the network that bills it-self as “very funny” and features a plethora of Tyler Perry-based sitcoms, has picked up O’Brien for a new show beginning in November.

Th e show, according to a press release, will run Mondays through Th ursdays at 11 p.m.

“In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twit-ter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic ca-ble,” O’Brien said in a statement. “My plan is working perfectly.”

Th ere has been a constant sup-ply of rumors regarding where O’Brien will end up.

Much of the focus has been placed on FOX – the only of the top four broadcast networks which didn’t have its own weekly, late-night franchise.

Th e move comes as a surprise, as many industry analysts had

expected FOX to pursue the red pompadoured-headed host at all costs.

Affi lliates, who helped return Jay Leno to “Th e Tonight Show” after his 10 p.m. show eroded their local newscasts, were con-cerned as reruns of “Th e Offi ce” and “Th e Simpsons” are already profi table.

Th e new deal comes after TBS approached O’Brien’s manager off ering an 11 p.m. slot, accord-ing to Th e New York Times.

“Th ey called us about a week and a half ago,” said Gavin Polone, O’Brien’s manager.

Th e network off ered O’Brien an 11 p.m. show, eff ectively bumping back Lopez to midnight – a move NBC had tried to force on him to make room for Leno.

But there was no ill-feeling, as Lopez himself apparently called the comedian to encourage him to join the network.

“I can’t think of anything bet-ter than doing my show with Co-nan as my lead-in,” Lopez said in a statement. “It’s the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy.”

Cable could be a good fi t for

O’Brien. His 11 p.m. start time gives him half an hour to eat into Jay Leno and David Letterman’s respective shows.

Th e only setback, however, is how fi ckle cable audiences can be. With so many choices out there, it might be easy to switch from a bad guest on O’Brien’s-as-yet-un-named show to “Family Guy.”

It’s also directly against “Th e Daily Show” and “Th e Colbert Re-port,” Comedy Central’s fl agship satire programs.

O’Brien will begin his show in November. TBS will support the show during the NBA and Major League baseball playoff s with “the biggest promotional campaign in television history,” according to Th e New York Times.

Until then, O’Brien will be working on new material, char-acters and segments on the road as part of his “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour.”

Tickets and more information about the show are available at www.teamcoco.com.

Waters to celebrate 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s ‘Th e Wall’ with tour

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s been 30 years, but Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” still means a great deal in the rock world – and to its co-creator Roger Waters.

So to commemorate the groundbreaking album’s anni-versary, Waters plans a tour this fall of the music from the con-cept album, with new staging that will bring the story – loosely inspired by his life – to a new generation.

“In the 30-odd years since I first performed this piece, it’s taken on some new meanings for me,” Waters, co-founder, bassist and main lyricist for Pink Floyd, said in an interview last week.

“Thirty years ago when I was kind of an angry and not very young lad, I found myself driven into defensive positions because I was scared of stuff, and I’ve come to realize that in that per-sonal story, maybe somewhere hidden in there exists an alle-gory for more general and uni-versal themes, political and so-cial themes,” he said. “It’s really

for that reason that I decided that I’d try and create a new per-formance of this piece using a lot of the same things that we did all those years ago.”

But Waters said he won’t just be dusting off the show that the now-defunct Pink Floyd per-formed decades ago. In fact, Waters said part of the excite-ment surrounding his new stag-ing of “The Wall” involves new technology that allows him to do things he could only dream about in the 1980s and ‘90s.

“Projection systems now are completely different from what they were then, which means that I would be able to project over the entire 250-foot expanse of the wall ... which we couldn’t do in those days,” he said.

Though the tour promises plenty of grand theatrics, more important to Waters is the leg-endary album’s political and so-cial commentary, which he be-lieves is still relative.

“When we did it then, we were after the end of the Vietnam War, and we’re right now in the mid-

dle of wars in Iraq and Afghani-stan, so there’s a very powerful anti-war message in `The Wall.’ There was then and there still is now,” he said.

Waters plans a segment in the show that will pay tribute to soldiers who lost their lives, not only in the recent wars, but also in other conflicts.

The U.S. tour will kick off Sept. 15 in Toronto and end Dec. 15 in Anaheim, Calif. It will also head to Europe.

For Waters, the concerts will likely mark the end of his per-forming days.

“I’m not as young as I used to be. I’m not like B.B. King, or Muddy Waters,” the 66-year-old said. “My friend Eric Clapton ... he’ll be playing guitar and he’ll be on stage ‘til the day he dies, because that’s what he does.”

“I’m not a great vocalist or a great instrumentalist or what-ever, but I still have the fire in my belly, and I have something to say,” he continued. “I have a swan song in me and I think this will probably be it.”

NBCConan O’Brien’s new talk show will begin in November and air on TBS Mondays through Thursdays at 11 p.m.

FEATURE OF THE DAYYOM HASHOAH, Holocaust

Rememberance Day, will have 24 hours of reading of names of those lost in the Holocaust starting at 12 p.m. in front of the Mountainlair.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year, many opportunities have more impact than meets the eye. Your ability to get a project off the ground draws strong results and allows greater infl uence. Handle each off er carefully. You are about to complete a life cycle; be sure you don’t enter a new life cycle with anything that doesn’t suit you. If you are single, your cha-risma speaks for itself. You have many off ers. If you are attached, remember that a relationship is a two-way street. Curb a need to be dominant. Another ARIES could be a soul mate.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ Consider what you want. An upcoming New Moon in your sign heralds new possibilities. You will have to do some of the work, from de-ciding on the goal in question to making a resolution. With your strength and power, you can accomplish nearly any-thing. Tonight: Just make your-self happy.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★ Let others run the show. Whether you need to do more research or get down to some basics, take the necessary space and time. Endurance and follow-through make a diff erence. Tonight: Maintain

a low profi le.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★★ You have the abil-ity to energize others and hit a home run. You understand better than many other signs that success comes with team-work. How you explain to oth-ers what their role is can pull them in. Do your thing! To-night: Where the action is.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★★★ You could be rein-vigorated by a situation or a boss. As a result, you decide to carry the responsibility and hit a home run. You have a lot of problems with author-ity. So as you evolve, be sensi-tive to others. Tonight: To the wee hours.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★★ Take an overview. Detach from the story and eye the big picture. No lon-ger play out a role in a dis-pute or conversation. Become an onlooker. You will under-stand much more. Don’t put off a trip or workshop that will help you relax. Tonight: Meet a friend at the movies or at an exotic restaurant.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★★ Work with an op-portunity for a new begin-ning. You need to know what

you want and what limits you need to establish. Stay on top of your game and don’t allow anyone to intimidate you. You know what you want. Expect to get just that. Tonight: A dis-cussion over dinner.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★ Know when to allow another person to assume control. You could be slightly overwhelmed by everything that is happening. Listen to several associates, who have strong opinions. You don’t need to agree, but you will gain understanding. Tonight: Go with another’s choice.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★ Put your best foot for-ward and expect to yield the promised results. Fatigue plays a signifi cant role in your de-cisions. Knowing that, refuse to change gears, but also be more observant of what oth-ers say and do. Tonight: Off to the gym.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★★ For artists and creative sorts, the building New Moon highlights your in-nate talents. What is created in the next few days could be un-usually dynamic and interest-ing. If you are single, you will want to take special notice of someone who enters your life.

Children could play a big role. Tonight: Be free; act free.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★ Stay close to home if possible. Real estate also could tie into events and deci-sions at the present moment. Many of you could be consid-ering a change in your home environment or redoing the pad. Make yourself cozy and at home. Tonight: Order in.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★★ Your decision to have and complete an impor-tant conversation marks your next few days. Understand that you can recycle and have a new beginning in a relation-ship. Make better communi-cation a high priority. Tonight: Hang out.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★ Remain on top of your fi nances. Know what you cannot aff ord and be willing to follow through with a “no.” The clearer you are, the bet-ter your decisions. Don’t leave key issues to random luck. But do buy a lottery ticket if you feel lucky. Tonight: Don’t go overboard.

Spring means mental training

If you happen to walk into a West Virginia spring football practice, you’ll surely see a lot of action.

To your right, you might see Tavon Austin catching a pass. To your left might be safeties coach Steve Dunlap carrying out a drill with a group of eight players.

Ahead of you, the cornerbacks might be practicing their coverage, and if you’re not careful, the entire off ensive line may run you over with their team drills.

It’s all physical. Th at’s what foot-ball is all about.

But if you look a little closer, you’ll see why spring football is so important. It may be harder to fi nd, but you’ll realize the true benefi t of a spring camp.

Sure, spring camp can be physi-cal at times, but the majority of the progress made during the 15-prac-tice session is mental.

Th e team has the entire fall camp to be physical. In the off season, they continue to lift weights and keep themselves in shape.

But it’s the spring camp where the coaches can bring what they’ve taught in the video rooms and one-on-one offseason meetings together.

For players such as Tavon Aus-tin and Eddie Davis, it’s a chance to get familiar with new positions. Austin is practically juggling three positions after making the move to wide receiver, while Davis is now in the slot after switching from cornerback.

WVU head coach Bill Stewart said the defense is learning how to disguise packages better – an aspect he feels the Mountaineers can do with their veteran personnel in the defensive backfi eld.

But the camp may be of the most benefi t to Geno Smith. For the quarterback, this spring is 95 percent mental. After breaking a foot in the off season, the sopho-more’s mobility has been limited all spring, although he’s in des-perate need of live action, as he’s expected to take over the starting role in the fall.

But the physical rest has allowed Smith to get where he needs to be mentally. He’s focusing on reading defenses better, picking up cover-ages, calling the right routes and fi nding the open receiver.

Th e physical part of playing quar-terback will catch up later.

For soon-to-be seniors such as J.T. Th omas, spring football is an opportunity to prep your abilities at becoming a better on-the-fi eld leader. For others, it’s a chance to fi gure out if they have what it takes to lead.

It’s now on the shoulders of those players whether or not this team will be disciplined, hard-working and motivated.

After all, those upperclassmen

Th e West Virginia track and fi eld team sent three groups of competi-tors to three diff erent locations this past weekend.

Th e Mountaineers sent a group of throwers to the Robert Mor-ris Bennie Benson Invitational in Moon Township, Pa., while others traveled to Knoxville, Tenn., to take part in the Sea Ray Relays.

Th e team sent its middle dis-tance group compiled of all-Amer-icans Karly Hamric, Keri Bland, Jessica O’Connell, and Kaylyn Christopher to Phoenix, Ariz., to compete in the Sun Angel Classic.

“Our middle distance group traveled to try to slap their tickets

to the NCAA Regional Champi-onships,” said West Virginia head coach Sean Cleary. “From the re-sults, it appears all four will make the cut. I am pleased with the way the girls took advantage of this opportunity.”

Each of the four posted Big East qualifying times in the 1,500-me-ter race, with Bland leading the way with a fourth-place finish with a time of 4:19.84. O’Connell placed eighth with a time of 4:22.29, while Hamric and Chris-topher fi nished 10th and 16th, with times of 4:22.95 and 4:27.39, respectively.

The event marked the first time in a month that the middle distance group had competed. Cleary said he was nervous prior

to the event about the group’s prep-aration after a month off .

“We had gone back to training much more refl ective of cross coun-try strength compared with the ste-reotypical 1,500-meter training, so we were a little worried about the preparation,” Cleary said. “We are satisfi ed with what we got out of the meet. Th is should provide a great benchmark to propel ourselves for

the duration of the year.”At the Robert Morris Bennie

Benson Invitational, WVU had two throwers qualify for the Big East Championships – seniors Brittany Fink and Terina Miller.

Fink’s qualifying mark came in the discus after capturing fi rst place with her throw of 42.31 me-ters. Freshman Heather Adams and Brittany Th omas also threw

well, fi nishing third and seventh, respectively.

Miller posted her conference-qualifying standard in the ham-mer throw with a fi rst-place fi nish of 45.13. Th e senior also put forth a strong performance in the shot put, fi nishing fi fth with her mark of 11.00 meters.

The West Virginia baseball team will travel to Charleston today to play Eastern Kentucky in the an-nual Mountaineer Diamond Clas-sic at Appalachian Power Park.

The first pitch will be thrown at 6 p.m.

“Our guys really enjoyed it last year because we’re in our state cap-ital, and a lot of Mountaineer fans in the southern part of the state that don’t get a chance to see us play very easily get a chance to come out and see the Mountaineers play,” said West Virginia head coach Greg Van Zant.

Three Mountaineer players are from the Charleston area: freshman Matt Frazer, sophomore Chase Pick-ering and junior Grant Buckner.

Frazer went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Sunday’s win against St. Johns.

Pickering has seen limited time from the mound since he earned his first win of the season in march, and junior Grant Buckner, who has been recovering from an injured right an-kle, saw time at the designated hit-ter position last weekend against St. Johns.

“I’m amazed that he was able to play this weekend,” Van Zant said.

Ebanks declares for NBA Draft

BY TONY DOBIESSPORTS EDITOR

West Virginia sophomore forward Devin Ebanks has declared for the 2009 NBA Draft.

Ebanks has not yet signed with an agent, but team spokesman Bryan Messerly confirmed Ebanks “intends” to hire one, which would make him ineligible to come back to school prior to the June 24 draft.

“I have decided to enter my name into the 2010 NBA draft,” Ebanks said in a release. “I spoke to my mother and the coaching staff, and we have decided that I should explore my options to pur-sue a dream that I have had since I was a little kid.”

Ebanks, who started 31 games this season for the Mountaineers and helped them to their fi rst Final Four fi nish since 1959, is rated as the 29th-best player by DraftExpress.com. He is rated as the

who did the dirty work last season have graduated.

“We’re not looking for rah-rah guys or guys who tell their bud-dies how well they’re doing,” he said. “We’re looking for leaders. It’s tough to be a leader.”

For the entire team, it’s a chance to get familiar with each other, grow

and bond as a team. “One of the main things for this

year is that we want to try and get more of a bond,” said defensive lineman Julian Miller.

In the end, that’s one of the most important ingre-dients if the team is to put together a solid season when fall comes around. It’s the perfect time to work on it.

Th e West Virginia rowing team had two boats fi nish inside the top fi ve at the Knecht Cup Re-gatta in Cherry Hill, N.J., this past weekend.

With four boats compet-ing in the Grand and Petite fi -nals, the varsity 4+ and novice 8+ each placed fi fth in the “A” fi nals Sunday.

WVU head coach Jimmy King said it was still a disappointing fi nish for the team.

“We need to do a better job of physically and mentally prepar-ing for the races,” King said. “We have the rowers who can race and race well, but we need to have our mindset right.”

Th e varsity 4+ boat had a time of 8:08.63, good for a second-place fi nish in its respective heat Saturday. Th at time advanced the boat into the semifi nals, where it had a time of 7:50.44 to qualify for a spot in the Grand Finals.

Crossing the finish line led by senior coxswain Amanda Mahasky, the team placed fi fth among the 30 boats with a 7:50.44.

Th e novice 8+ crew also had a strong outing, fi nishing with a time of 7:24.73, placing fi fth in the overall competition which con-sisted of 22 boats. Although the varsity 4+ and novice 8+ boats had solid performances, King said his team performed average compared to what he expected.

“We have two weeks until the

Big East Conference Champi-onships,” King said. “Th at time gives us time to work on changing some things this week. We’ll see how that plays out this upcoming weekend, especially since we are racing a school (George Mason) that competed in this past week-end’s regatta.”

Th e Mountaineers will host the Patriots Saturday in a race where King said his team must show improvement.

“In terms of our racing and be-yond the focus aspect, we need to start pushing up our stroke rate up to race pace,” King said. “We need to start rowing at a higher rate, and hopefully with that, get-ting more boat speed.”

Freshman Sydney Cummings led the Mountaineers in the high jump fi nishing in seventh place after clearing 1.65 meters. Senior Natasha Redman’s mark of 1.60 meters was good for 13th place.

“Our high jumpers were not pleased with their results,” Cleary

said.Th e coach said there is still room

for improvement.“Th e girls came home very dis-

appointed,” Cleary said. “We have three weeks to get things back on the right track. Training has gone well for them. I have faith they will turn things back around as soon as this weekend.”

17th-best player by NBADraft.net. He is considered to be a small or power forward in the NBA, ac-cording to those Web sites.

Ebanks is similarly rated to 6-foot-8 small or power forward Kyle Singler from Duke. In the Mountaineers’ last game, Sin-gler scored 21 points in a 78-57 win over WVU. Ebanks scored 11.

The Long Island City, N.Y., native has not been a dominant scoring threat for the Moun-taineers but is efficient from in-side the arc (51.3 percent) and at the free-throw line (77 per-cent). Ebanks made just 3-of-30 3-pointers this season.

He said he is still a scoring threat, though.

“I’m very confident in my

scoring,” Ebanks said during the NCAA Tournament. “Anytime I get the ball, I can be a scoring threat.”

Ebanks was considered the Mountaineers’ shutdown de-fender this season. He was matched up against smaller guards at times, including Vil-lanova’s Scottie Reynolds and Kentucky’s John Wall.

Ebanks is also known as a po-tentially dominant rebounder and a good ball handler for his size.

“It wasn’t tough to change be-cause it was something I wanted to do,” Ebanks said of his defen-sive improvement earlier this sea-son. “(Th e coaches) told me it’s about eff ort. I didn’t really put out the eff ort on defense in high school. Now I try all the time.”

The 6-foot-9 swing player played a second-best 34.1 minutes per game, led the

team in rebounding at 8.1 per game and scored 12 points per game, which was good enough for third-best behind senior Da’Sean Butler and fellow soph-omore Kevin Jones.

“I certainly enjoyed coaching Devin for two years,” said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. “He was extremely coachable and was a great teammate. We cer-tainly wish him the best for a long and prosperous career.”

Ebanks was ranked as one of the top high school players in the country in 2008. He signed with West Virginia after backing out of a commitment with In-diana when former coach Kel-vin Sampson left the school. He averaged 23 points, 10 re-bounds and five assits his se-nior year at St. Thomas More School (Conn.).

Van Zant is pleased with his team’s effort in recent games. Th e Mountaineers thought they had the fi nal game against St. Johns won in the eighth inning when they were up 4-2, but the Red Storm came back and tied the game.

In the 11th inning, West Vir-ginia scored three runs, but St. Johns was able to do the same in the bottom half of the inning.

“Our guys are giving us ef-fort,” Van Zant said. “We had

several opportunities to throw in the towel (against St. Johns) and quit, and we didn’t. We hung in there and got a win.”

Eastern Kentucky is 17-14 overall and 6-3 in the Ohio Val-ley Conference. The Colonels have won their last five games, scoring a total of 60 runs.

The Colonels have stolen a total of 47 bases on 73 attempts compared to the Mountaineers who have stolen just 23 bases on 29 attempts.

“Th ey have a new young coach in Jason Stein. He is very well re-spected and works hard,” Van Zant said. “He does the right re-

cruiting, and I know he is very knowledgeable. I’m sure he’s got a lot of energy in the program.”

“He’s big on running the bases, and I’m sure they’re go-ing to do that.”

With such a young team, Van Zant is not worrying too much about his opponents at this point in the season.

“I’m more concerned with us,” Van Zant said. “Our oppo-nent is the game of baseball. We have to play the game the way it’s supposed to be played in or-der to win.”
