The West Virginia Univer-sity English Department al-lowed students to question the meaning of life, death and war by hosting a poetry reading by A. Poulin, Jr. Po-etry Prize winner, Hugh Mar-tin in Colson Hall Thursday evening.

Martin, a veteran of the Iraq war and Ohio native, centers his work on the military expe-rience and the examining of the soldier psyche. During the

event Martin shared poems from his recently published collection of poetry, “The Stick Soldiers,” as well as other pre-viously published essays and prose. Martin brought light to issues of veteran stereotypes, what it means to identify as a veteran, as well as the differ-ent ways people deal with the effects of war.

“Men died because they were embarrassed not to,” Martin said. “War in the pur-est sense meant the test of whether you are coming or

“Little good is accomplished without controversy, and no civic evil is ever defeated without publicity.”THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

SEASIDE MYSTERY

by corey mcdonaldstaff writer @coreymacc

Just four weeks left.That may resonate with some seniors at West Virginia

University—for better or for worse. For the next four or five weeks, students will be soaking in the last of a four year col-lege experience in Morgantown.

With May commencement quickly approaching, stu-dents should make sure they are prepared to graduate.

May commencement will consist of a three-day period, May 13-15. Each college will have a specific time during one of the three days.

Commencement locations will also be broken down by the graduating college. Three locations will hold the cer-emony, including the Coliseum, the Creative Arts Center and the Morgantown Event Center which is located at the Waterfront Place Hotel. Graduates are expected to arrive at least an hour before the ceremony begins.

There are important things to note if your ceremony is being held at the Coliseum, as the facility is being reno-vated, according to the Office of the President. Graduates will line up at the basketball practice facility—which is be-hind the Coliseum at the red gate.

“We are in the process of planning for trailer restrooms, because the restrooms inside will not be operational,” said Lisa Martin, special events coordinator for the Office of the President.

Seating will also be on a first-come, first-serve basis for guests of graduates. Anyone with different accessibility to the location should contact the Office of Accessibility Ser-vices at 304-293-6700.

Hearing loss affects ap-proximately 36 million American adults, according to the West Virginia Univer-sity Hearing Center.

Students and faculty in the Department of Commu-nication Sciences and Dis-orders at WVU have put to-gether a 5k “MountainEAR” walk to raise awareness.

“We just try to raise awareness…(for) our com-munity and other students about hearing loss and how it can be prevented and we

try to do that through some community service activi-ties that we have,” said Shy-ler Phillips, a member of SAA and a second year grad-uate student in the audiol-ogy program, who is acting as the race coordinator.

This year’s race will be the fifth annual Mountai-nEAR 5k, hosted by the WVU Chapter of the Stu-dent Academy of Audiology, which is the national stu-dent division of the Ameri-can Academy of Audiology.

Phillips said the 5k is the SAA’s biggest activity, and all proceeds will benefit the WVU Speech and Hearing

client fund, assisting clients with their financial limi-tations. Clients who need medical attention for hear-ing related problems but cannot afford it will be able to get the assistance they need thanks to the proceeds from this 5k.

“When you think about going to a doctor, do you think about going to get your ears tested ever? It’s not any-one’s first thought so we just try to raise awareness,” Phil-lips said.

At the conclusion of the 5k, medals will be given to the top three overall males and females for each of the

seven age groups.“This is the only event that

focuses on communication disorders in Morgantown, even though it is one of the most common disabilities in the United States,” said Ra-chel Halbritter, a third year doctor of audiology student.

Halbritter detailed the joys of her studies in audiology.

“You know all of those videos of people who are hearing for the first time? That’s us. That’s our job. We choose this field to give communication to those who don’t have it or are struggling with it. I smile ev-

ery day,” Halbritter said.If you have yet to regis-

ter for the 5k, but still want to participate, it’s not too late. Packet pickup will take place at at 5 p.m. on April 8 at the WVU Hearing Cen-ter on the third floor of Allen Hall, located on the Evans-dale campus. Free hear-ing screenings will be given to participants during this time.

There will also be a packet pickup at 9 a.m. on April 9 right before the race, where you can registerif you haven’t already.

Registration includes the race, a t-shirt (guaranteed

only if you registered be-fore April 9), a registration packet with hearing health information and goodies, as well as food and drinks after the race.

The MountainEAR 5k will take place at 10 a.m. April 9 at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park.

“We just try to encourage the community and the stu-dents to come out and help support us,” Phillips said. “I know it’s supposed to be freezing and snowing but we would love everyone to come out.”

Which presidential can-didate should feminists vote for? According to pan-elists in a West Virginia Uni-versity fireside chat, Bernie Sanders is the best choice.

Dustin Teel, Audrey Charbonneau and Justice Hudson were on the panel Thursday evening. Teel is a junior computer science student with a minor in women and gender studies, he is also a candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates for the 32nd dis-trict. Charbonneau is a wo-mens and gender studies student. Hudson is a fresh-man women and gender studies and history student at WVU, and was in Iowa during the caucus.

“I see Bernie Sanders as the most liberal candidate on the democratic side…” Hudson said. “I think he’s probably the biggest femi-nist running for candidacy right now and he has a very nice background of exten-sive human rights.”

All panelists agreed that feminists should not vote for Hillary Clinton just be-cause she is a woman. They disagreed with Clinton be-cause of her inconsistent record, moderate approach to women’s healthcare, dis-interest in expanding wel-fare and support for the Iraq war, among other issues.

“We have to remember that in warzones, where there’s no safety net any-more, that’s when patriar-chy really comes out to play. That’s when women are re-ally vulnerable,” Charbon-neau, who described her-self as left of Sanders, said.

The panelists discussed concern over Clinton’s sup-port from super PACs and

wealthy democrats. Sand-ers has a more grassroots activism campaign, which could be a way to fight the current democratic establishment.

One of the biggest parts of Sanders’ platform is in-come inequality in the United States. Young vot-ers care about this issue and see Clinton support-ers as out of touch with the younger generations.

Hudson explained by ad-dressing income inequal-ity, Sanders could also tackle the wage gap, which seems to be a lesser issue than women’s health in this election.

The panelists were asked to explain how a man could

represent feminists. Hud-son explained that Pres-ident Obama, who is not gay, helped create housing and job protection for gay people.

“You don’t have to be a certain type of person to understand their prob-lems,” said Logan Webster, a freshman communica-tion studies student who attended. “You can be a white man and understand that there are problems with discrimination against women and minorities… As long as the problems are known and addressed, they can be improved upon.”

The panelists discussed polarization of the Demo-cratic Party and the Repub-

lican Party in regards to the election.

It is possible that if either candidate is elected more polarization will occur, said Charbonnaeu. Or, repub-licans supporting Sanders could reduce polarization.

The panelists agreed that a neo-confederate spirit is growing in parts of Amer-ica, while others are advo-cating for a more liberal society.

“It’s an identity crisis … America is going through an identity crisis,” Hudson said. “Are we white suprem-acists, we hate everyone who is not us? Or, are we an accepting liberal society?”

going.”Martin said that it is a ne-

cessity to have poems about war, as these works are one of the strongest ways outside viewers can understand the minds of soldiers.

“(Soldiers) go through dif-ferent experiences,” Martin said. “There’s a desire to com-municate and understand those experiences.”

Martin began writing the poems that are featured in his most recent publication in 2006, and the collection of poetry was published in 2013.

Martin is currently working on a new manu-script of poems titled “Ser-vice,” which he has been editing and reviewing for the last four to five years. Martin said part of his writing process includes listening to the language of poetry and of the voice he is trying to con-vey in each piece.

“You feel compelled to write about something that’s so confusing,” Martin said. “I want to write something that will help people understand the war.”

Caleb Milne, senior cre-ative writing student and at-tendee of the event said that after hearing Martin speak,

he has a new personal view of the military.

“Poetry and literature, such as what Martin writes, is refreshing,” Milne said. “It allows you to see things from another perspective.”

Martin spent six years in the Army National Guard and eleven months in Iraq. His chapbook, “So, How Was The War?” was published by the Wick Poetry Center, and his full-length collection “The Stick Soldiers,” was published through BOA Editions in March 2013.

Martin is the recipient of a Wallace Stegner Fellow-ship and the winner of the Jeff Sharlet Memorial Award from The Iowa Review. His poems have appeared in journals such as The Kenyon Review, The American Poetry Review, Crazyhorse and The New Republic.

Martin graduated from Muskingum University and has an MFA from Arizona State. Currently, Martin is an Emerging Writer Lecturer at Gettysburg College.

A brief Q&A session was held and light refreshments were available after the reading.

AskAr sAlikHoV/tHe DAilY AtHeNAeum‘The Stick Soldiers,’ a collection of poems by Hugh Martin, was availalbe for pur-chase at the public reading session at Colson Hall.

CHarLESTON, W.Va. — Ex-coal company chief Don Blankenship should have to serve his full, one-year sen-tence in a minimum-security federal prison because time off for good behavior only ap-plies to terms of more than a year, the former U.S. attorney who prosecuted Blankenship said Thursday.

Blankenship was sen-tenced Wednesday to the maximum penalties of a year in prison and a $250,000 fine for a misdemeanor of conspir-ing to willfully violate mine safety standards at Upper Big Branch Mine, which exploded in 2010, killing 29 men. It was the deadliest U.S. mining di-saster in four decades.

On Thursday, Blankenship filed a court document to be-gin appealing the case.

Former U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said Thurs-day he expects the ex-Massey Energy CEO to serve the full year.

“That’s why you often see people sentenced to a year and a day,” Goodwin said.

Blankenship’s top-dol-lar defense team has vowed to appeal his conviction, but

there are critical timing issues to juggle.

On Wednesday, U.S. Dis-trict Judge Irene Berger de-clined to let Blankenship stay free on a $1 million bond while he appeals. Blanken-ship’s attorneys are also ap-pealing that ruling and want a decision before a date is set for the former coal baron to report to prison. So far, that date hasn’t been set.

Blankenship’s attorneys worried that he could serve up to his entire sentence by the time the appeals court de-cides his case.

Goodwin said it generally takes about two months be-fore someone reports.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals process usually takes upward of a year, said Brandon Garrett, a University of Virginia law professor.

“Sometimes it takes less and sometimes more — it de-pends on the panel and how quickly they reach a decision,” Garrett said. “Even schedul-ing the argument can take months.”

Goodwin left office after Blankenship’s conviction to run for governor.

Ex-prosecutor: Ex-coal chief will serve full year in prison

BErLiN — A European Union official threatened Thursday to sanction Pan-ama and other nations if they don’t cooperate fully to fight money laundering and tax evasion, after a leak of data showed the small country remains a key destination for people who want to hide money.

The 11.5 million docu-ments from the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca showed it helped thousands of individuals and companies from around the world set up shell compa-nies and offshore accounts in low-tax havens. Because such accounts often hide the ultimate owner of assets,

they are a favored tool to evade taxes, launder money or pay bribes.

So far, the scandal has brought down the leader of Iceland and raised ques-tions about the dealings of the presidents of Argentina and Ukraine, senior Chi-nese politicians, famous ac-tors, athletes and the circle of friends of Russian Vladi-mir Putin, who some allege has profited indirectly from such accounts. On Thursday, British Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged he profited from his father’s in-vestments in an offshore tax haven before being elected.

“People are fed up with these outrages,” said Pierre Moscovici, who heads finan-cial affairs for the 28-nation EU. He took to task coun-tries like Panama that facili-tate such secretive, low-tax accounts.

“The amounts of money, the jurisdictions and the names associated with this affair are frankly shocking,” he said.

Panama is listed by the EU as a country that is not co-operative on tax issues, and Moscovici urged the coun-try to “rethink its position in this regard.” The EU has to “be ready to hit them with appropriate sanctions if they refuse to change,” he said.

The Central American country’s government is of-fering to cooperate more. On Wednesday, President Juan Carlos Varela announced the creation of an interna-tional committee of experts to recommend ways to boost transparency in Panama’s offshore financial industry.

But Varela defended his country against what he called a “media attack” by wealthy nations that he says are ignoring their own defi-ciencies and unfairly stigma-tizing Panama.

Ramon Fonseca, a co-founder of the law firm at the center of the scandal and until recently a top adviser

to Varela, said Thursday the only law that has been bro-ken so far is the right to his clients’ privacy. He said the biggest source of secretive shell companies is Europe and the U.S.

“If a company in England has problems nobody says anything against England, but when it happens to a firm in Panama it’s a big problem and the entire world beats up on poor Panama,” Fonseca told The Associated Press in an interview.

He said his firm creates about 20,000 shell compa-nies annually but also re-jects about 70 to 80 clients every year due to conflicts that crop up during due diligence.

“We’re not perfect and some surely escape by,” he said. “But in all our years in business we’ve never been accused or condemned by a court.”

Europe also is home to countries with a record of acting like tax havens and providing banking secrecy — Luxembourg, Switzerland, Andorra, among others. The United States has also be-come a haven, with several states including Wyoming and Delaware now popular places to open anonymous accounts that are cheap to maintain and pay little or no local tax.

Since the first reports based on Mossack Fonseca documents were published Sunday, prominent politi-cians, celebrities and busi-nesspeople have had their offshore business deal-ings dragged into the spot-light. On Thursday, the Ger-man newspaper that first obtained what have been dubbed the “Panama Pa-pers,” said it won’t publish all the files, arguing that not all are of public interest.

Sueddeutsche Zeitung re-ceived the documents from an unidentified source more than a year ago and shared at least parts of them with doz-

ens of other media outlets around the world.

Fonseca said his firm has hired forensic experts to in-vestigate and have already uncovered the method used to penetrate its systems. He said the hack was probably carried out from Europe and dismissed speculation it may have been an inside job.

Sueddeutsche Zeitung and the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which helped coordinate re-porting on the leak, have said they won’t make the com-plete set of 11.5 million doc-uments available to the pub-lic or law enforcement but rather mine the information for details of public interest.

Responding to read-ers’ queries about the ab-sence of prominent German or American politicians in the reports, Sueddeutsche Zeitung said such names haven’t yet been found in the documents. It said the docu-ments include copies of the passports of 200 Americans and about 3,500 sharehold-ers in offshore companies have listed addresses in the United States

Fonseca said his firm has only a handful of American clients, mostly expats living in Panama. He said both he and his German-born part-ner have longstanding ties to Europe and over the years have focused their business there and in Latin America.

Meanwhile, Britain’s Cameron looks to become the next European politi-cian ensnared by the scan-dal. After four days fending off headlines about his fam-ily’s finances, he acknowl-edged Thursday that he and his wife, Samantha, sold shares worth 31,500 pounds (currently $44,300) in an off-shore fund named Blairmore Holdings in January 2010 — five months before Cameron became prime minister. They had paid 12,497 pounds for the shares in 1997.

EU threatens to put sanctions on Panama, other tax havens

aUSTiN, Texas — A first-year University of Texas dance student whose body was found near the heart of campus was the victim of a “horrifying and incompre-hensible” killing that was the first on school grounds since the bell tower mass shooting nearly 50 years ago, university officials said Thursday.

UT President Greg Fenves identified the victim as 18-year-old Haruka Weiser of Portland, Oregon, during a somber news conference, and said the “unthinkable brutality against Haruka is an attack on our entire fam-ily.” Students who spoke later in the day at a vigil that drew hundreds of people on the Austin campus said the kill-ing will leave them unsettled during their nightly walks home.

Weiser was last seen around 9:30 p.m. Sunday leaving UT’s drama building. “She never made it to her dor-mitory that night,” Assistant Austin Police Chief Troy Gay said.

Her roommates reported her missing shortly before noon the following day, and Weiser’s body was discov-ered Tuesday in a creek near

the alumni center and foot-ball stadium, an area bustling with activity day and night.

The route to her dorm of-ten took her along the creek where her body was recov-ered, and Gay said authorities “knew the direction that she traveled” based on what she texted to one of her friends.

Details of how Weiser died haven’t been released. An au-topsy showed that she was as-saulted, but Gay refused to elaborate, saying it was too early in the investigation.

Gay showed a surveil-lance video of a man he said was a suspect pushing a red or pink bicycle north of the stadium around 11 p.m. Sun-day. Gay said there was no in-dication that the man in the video was a student or that he had sought to target Weiser specifically. He said author-ities believe the man was in the area for at least a couple of hours, and that no weapon was recovered.

Weiser’s was the first on-campus homicide since for-mer Marine Charles Whit-man climbed to the top of UT’s bell tower on Aug. 1, 1966, and opened fire, kill-ing 16 people and wounding scores of others.

In response to this week’s slaying, the university has ex-panded programs in which police escort students across campus to ensure their safety. School officials also are urg-ing students to walk in groups and avoid walking at night or while distracted with cell-phones or headphones.

“To our students, you ex-pect and deserve to be safe,” Fenves said.

UT asked Austin police to lead the investigation with the help of the Texas Depart-ment of Public Safety, which has assigned 20 state troop-ers to campus per day — in-cluding some on horseback. DPS is also reviewing security on campus, including video

monitoring, lighting and building security systems.

“We would like the stu-dents and faculty to con-tinue to have a high degree of awareness and vigilance until our suspect is arrested,” said Gay, who added that law enforcement is offer-ing a $15,000 reward for information.

In Oregon, Weiser was known for her dancing. As a sixth-grader in the Portland suburb of Beaverton, home to Nike, Weiser entered the Arts & Communication Magnet Academy and also attended Dance West, a dance com-pany at the school geared toward the most talented students.

Panama Papers should be made public

A leak of information from the Mossack Fonseca law firm has revealed the truth behind offshore shell companies.

The Panama Papers, which contain more than 11 million documents, were obtained by German news-paper Sueddeutsche Zei-tung and were released on April 3.

The documents journal-ists have sorted through so far show 12 current and for-mer world leaders and 72

current and former heads of state were using offshore shell companies to avoid paying taxes, according to Vice News.

The documents have re-vealed ties between the off-shore companies and Da-vid Cameron, Vladimir Putin and Sigmundur Da-vid Gunnlaugsson, the Prime Minister of Iceland, who has stepped down af-ter public outrage at his in-vestments in these offshore companies.

Though the Panama Pa-pers have brought into light the greed and scheming be-haviors of public officials and the wealthy, Suedde-utsche Zeitung and the other news outlets involved with the documents should not have kept the information under wraps for a year.

The paper received the in-formation more than a year ago, and journalists from the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and

other popular news sources began to unearth this evi-dence of greed and money-hoarding of many world leaders. Although 11.5 mil-lion documents is a massive undertaking, media outlets should have made the in-formation public as soon as there was an idea of what the documents contained. As the newspaper discov-ered new information, it should have been made public.

The crimes of those in

public office should not have been kept secret for more than a year. Reveal-ing tax evasion by the afflu-ent sooner could have made an impact on the way pub-lic offices were filled, and the billions of dollars missing in taxes could have changed the way countries operated.

Additionally, the Pan-ama Papers “won’t be made available to the public or to law enforcement agencies. That’s because the SZ isn’t the extended arm of pros-

ecutors or the tax investi-gators,” according to CBS News.

The wealthy deserve to be fairly tried for breaking the law. Not allowing the Pan-ama Papers to become pub-lic information is an injus-tice to global citizens. People around the world deserve to be aware of the way wealthy citizens and their leaders hoard money and avoid pay-ing taxes.

To help and do no harm: The case for vegetarianism

“Don’t harm, and do help.” In a 2009 Veritas Fo-rum debate about whether God is necessary for moral-ity, Yale Professor of Philos-ophy Shelly Kagan gave this statement as the most basic reason which makes an ac-tion right or wrong.

Most would agree with this principle, and it seems obvious that we should try to help others and do no harm. But as often happens in philosophy, this simple principle has far-reaching consequences, especially in how we treat non-human animals.

According to Kagan, “the question is, ‘Can creatures like chickens and cows be harmed?’ And the answer is, ‘Of course they can.’ Con-sequently, I think it’s im-moral to harm them. And that seems to me to provide a very strong moral reason to be vegetarian.”

As a vegetarian myself, this is roughly why I de-cided to stop eating meat three years ago. Since we must kill an animal in order to eat it, and killing is usu-ally a form of harm, then we must harm animals in order to eat them in most cases. If we have a moral obliga-tion not to cause harm, eat-ing animals is then an im-moral action.

Most people do not find this sort of argument con-vincing, and the issues in-volved can quickly become

intricate and complicated. However, many do not re-alize that there may be an-other moral reason to avoid eating meat.

Climate scientists from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a body organized by the United Nations, have indi-cated that climate change is a major threat to the well-being of humans and ani-mals. In their 2014 Synthesis Report, the IPCC says, “Con-tinued emission of green-house gases will cause…long-lasting changes in all components of the climate system, increasing the like-lihood of severe, pervasive and irreversible impacts for people and ecosystems.”

These impacts include mass extinctions, decreased food security, increased risk for many diseases and dam-aged properties near sea level.

Climate change refers to the fact that Earth’s average temperature is slowly ris-ing, as well as the widely-accepted scientific theory explaining why things may be heating up. According to NASA, more than 97 percent of publishing climate sci-entists agree the Earth has been warming and human activities, especially green-house gas emissions, are a primary culprit.

What does climate change have to do with vegetarian-ism? In their 2009 study,

“Climate Benefits of Chang-ing Diet,” scientists from the Netherlands Environ-mental Assessment Agency pointed out 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions are caused by various ele-ments of livestock produc-tion. They include “fossil fuel burning during produc-tion of fertilizer for feed pro-duction, the livestock pro-duction process, processing and transportation of refrig-erated products,” as well as mass deforestation to cre-ate more grazing land, ac-cording to the Food and Ag-riculture Organization of the United States. As a re-sult, widespread reduction in meat-eating may be a vi-able option in mitigating the

effects of climate change.Though the proposal

would face many challenges, switching to a low-meat or no-meat diet on a large scale could substantially reduce gas emissions and costs as-sociated with handling neg-ative climate effects by 2050. While these changes could not single-handedly end cli-mate change, they could be an integral part of a global effort to combat its effects.

Thus, our best science in-dicates climate change will likely have drastic nega-tive effects for humans and other animals unless some-how kept in check, and one way of reducing its ef-fects may be to have large amounts of people reduce

their meat consumption. If we agree with Kagan’s prin-ciple, we should reduce our own meat consumption in order to help others and re-frain from causing harm. This is especially true in the developed world where di-etary changes are easier to accomplish.

Skeptics may respond that individual changes in diet would not have any no-ticeable effect on the cli-mate as a whole. They would likely say it makes no differ-ence whether any individual kept eating meat or not, and of course it would be wrong to make eating meat illegal.

While I agree that eat-ing meat should not be out-lawed, I am not convinced by this response. First, I would suggest the skeptic underestimates the power of leading by example. When people see someone turn-ing down a hamburger at a cookout and become ex-posed to the idea of vegetar-ianism, I think they would be more likely to consider the idea seriously. More-over, social change always starts with a few activists making very little difference, but this does not suggest no one should try to make so-cial changes.

We should take Kagan’s words very seriously. If we wish to help and not harm, maybe we should start by examining our everyday actions. By simply opting for vegetarian options, we could have a noticeable im-pact on our environment and the world around us.

West Virginia University’s Opera-on-Wheels is start-ing a new round of shows this weekend in the Cre-ative Arts Center.

WVU Opera-on-Wheels takes various operas and cuts them down into 50-minute shows for young children. Last year, in its first season, Opera-on-Wheels performed a short-ened version of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ at 13 elemen-tary schools throughout Monongalia County. Each school was sent music and

education material about the show.

“I think the K-5 grades are especially excited to see a show come into their school and to hear live mu-sic,” said Rebecca Kreider, a voice instructor for the WVU School of Music and leader of the Opera-on-Wheels program. “They get to experience classical mu-sic up close and personal. It takes the stigma away from opera being something highbrow and elitist.”

The 2016 show is called “Mystery on the Docks,” an opera in which all of the characters are rats. The composer, Edward Barnes,

took the story of a short-order cook named Ralph and an opera star named Edwina Bombastina and added Big Al and his vil-lainous rat pack. Ralph and Edwina are kidnapped by Big Al, but Ralph has some tricks of his own to help him and Edwina escape.

Kreider originally began Opera-on-Wheels at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. A similar outreach program was founded at Western Illinois Univer-sity before Kreider came to WVU and started WVU Op-era-on-Wheels. She is ex-cited to expose as many kids as possible to opera and the

beauty of music.“Our goal over the next

few years is for WVU Op-era-On-Wheels to visit ev-ery county in West Virginia and bring the joy of music to thousands of our chil-dren,” Kreider said.

The cast of “Mystery on the Docks” is made up of WVU graduate and under-graduate students major-ing in voice performance. The show hits the road with a van full of everything needed to put on the show: set, costumes, singers and a pianist. Each show is per-formed in the host school’s gym or cafeteria.

Two shows in the Falbo

Theater in the Creative Arts Center mark the beginning of this year’s tour. The show runs under an hour to allow time to introduce the cast and take questions from kids in the audience.

This year, Opera-on-Wheels is capitalizing on a generous grant from the Parkersburg Area Founda-tion to expand the reach of the show. The grant pro-vides them enough re-sources to tour 12 schools through Wood and Mason counties starting on April 11. In addition, they will perform for 500 Charles-ton area elementary school kids in the Charleston Cul-

ture Center Theater in May.“If WVU Opera-On-

Wheels can introduce clas-sical music and the beauty of the trained singing voice to young children through-out West Virginia then we will have succeeded in our goal,” Kreider said.

The first two shows are at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sun-day in the Falbo Theater in the Creative Arts Cen-ter. Both performances are free and open to the pub-lic. For more informa-tion, visit http://music.wvu.edu/opera-theatre/opera-on-wheels.

For every heart that beats to bass heavy mu-sic, Figure is visiting Main-stage Morgantown tonight. Joining Figure is dusbstep artists Subtronics and Dubsicle.

Josh Gard, the creative mind behind Figure is from Evansville, Indiana, and he works as a music producer and DJ. He is currently traveling for his Paradox tour. Even though he has been in music for a long time, his growth in the industry has skyrock-eted since 2011.

Many students are ex-cited to dance and let some stress out at this show. Sophomore psy-chology student, Jackson Jacobs, is even more ready for this concert after his tests this past week.

“Nothing jives me into a

dancing frenzy than when I’m out and good beats come on. His latest work seems to be bringing back the genre and pleases all people from nose-high music enthusiasts to the Saturday nightcrawlers,” Jacobs said.

His most recent al-bum release was “Grav-ity” which holds 17 songs, however his biggest suc-cess has come from his “Monsters” series. The Monster series features drumstep tracks with hor-ror movie references. This series includes “Monsters of Drumstep” Vol. 1,2,3,4,5 and 6.66. He also released two selected remix al-bums. He has followed up with the “Destruction Series.”

When talking about his music, Gard explains he has been interested in the heavy stud and the creepy Halloween thing for a while. Now, he is hoping

to expore more sound and stretch his music farther with the album “Gravity.”

Figure’s song “Mon-ster Mania” was featured in “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” Due to the success of the album, Fig-ure worked with Universal Studios to supply music for the haunted maze for its Halloween Horror Nights.

S c o r i n g p o s i t i o n s among the charts and op-portunities to showcase his work with companies has been a large part of his success, but a substan-tial amount of credit has come lately from some of the leading artists in electronic music saying they see his live perfor-mance skills as some of the best in the business. Some of these artists in-clude Tommy Lee, Del-tron 3030, DJ Chuckie, Excision, BT and Tommy Sunshine. More support-ing artists who recently

played at Mainstage in-clude Diplo and Flux Pa-villion. These big names for the music genre will be joined by Borgore on April 22.

“I just like how art-ists present a package of something close to an ad-venture… Like a theme park of sound that is an experiment and experi-ence for everyone,” Gard said during an interview with MTV.

Subtronics is the cre-ation of Jesse Kardon, a dubstep artist from Phila-delpia, Pennsylvania.

Some lucky winners won a meet and greet with Figure.

“If you are looking for an impressive set or killer show - which I know that I am looking for both - then catch him on Fri-day. I just need to keep my phone in its case. I don’t want it to break when he drops the beat,” Jacobs

added.The show is at 9 p.m. to-

night at Mainstage Mor-gantown. Tickets are $20 and the show is open to anyone 18 and over.

Documentary ‘Nothing Left Unsaid’ explores Gloria Vanderbilt’s life NEW YORK (AP) — For

much of his career, CNN’s Anderson Cooper rarely talked publicly about being Gloria Vanderbilt’s son.

He wasn’t ashamed. Coo-per just didn’t want the bag-gage, the assumption that his life was set because he was a descendant of Cor-nelius Vanderbilt, one of the world’s richest business magnates of the 1800s. Since he has the last name of his father, actor Wyatt Cooper, it was easy to keep this quiet.

All of that changes with “Nothing Left Unsaid,” a documentary that pre-mieres Saturday on HBO (9 p.m. EDT). The film explores Vanderbilt’s remarkable life and offers families a blue-print for conversations with aging parents.

Cooper wasn’t as close with his mother as he wanted to be, and when she had a health scare a year ago, realized he didn’t want to be left with questions when she couldn’t answer them.

His mother, now 91, has likely been in the pub-lic eye longer than anyone else alive. At age 9, she was on newspaper front pages as the “poor little rich girl,” the subject of a custody battle between her mother and other relatives (her fa-ther died when she was 15 months old).

The nickname “bothered me enormously,” Vander-bilt said in an interview. “I didn’t see any of the press - the newspapers were kept from me. I didn’t know what it meant. I didn’t feel poor

and I didn’t feel rich. It re-ally did influence me enor-mously to make something of my life when I realized what it meant.”

Money wasn’t an issue; Vanderbilt inherited $4.5 million in 1941. Yet she lived a young life unmoored, with no father and a mother un-interested in child-rear-ing. She was fascinated with Hollywood, dated Er-rol Flynn when she was 17 and had a short-lived mar-riage as a teenager. She mar-ried conductor Leopold Sto-kowski when she was 20 and he was 63. The marriage produced two children and ended when Frank Sinatra began pursuing her.

Vanderbilt later mar-ried director Sidney Lumet and then Wyatt Cooper. The Cooper marriage seemed the most grounded, but he died when Anderson was 10.

Even in her tenth decade, Vanderbilt said she believes she has a great romance ahead of her.

“She’s the most vulner-able, optimistic person I know,” Cooper said. “She’s the most trusting person. I’m not as trusting as her at all. She’s incredibly optimis-tic, and I believe the next ca-tastrophe is right around the corner and I want to prepare for it.”

Cooper looks more like his father and always be-lieved he was most like him. Through the film and its accompanying book, he learned all he had in com-mon with his mother. Both fruitlessly believed their fa-

thers had left behind letters for them to read after their deaths.

“The whole Vanderbilt side never had any reality to me at all,” he said. “My mom didn’t feel connected. She felt like a changeling, an impostor. We grew up with-out any real connection. My father took me to see the statue of Commodore Vanderbilt in Grand Cen-tral, and I thought all grand-parents turned into statues when they died.”

Cooper is a gentle guide through the film, going through boxes of memo-rabilia and drawing stories out of his mother. Much time is spent on the art she

has created throughout her life. Her brand of designer jeans - for many people, the thing they most associated with her - gets barely a min-ute in the nearly two-hour film.

There’s a sadness in her eyes. Vanderbilt was long estranged from her mother, and one of her sons with Sto-kowski cut himself off from the family for more than 40 years (since the film was made, there has been some contact). And she suffered a parent’s ultimate nightmare with the loss of a son, Ander-son’s brother Carter.

In 1988, shortly after his graduation from Prince-ton, Carter jumped out the

window of his mother’s high-rise apartment. She watched, and pleaded with him to stop. Vanderbilt says in “Nothing Left Unsaid” that she contemplated fol-lowing him, but the thought of how it would devastate Anderson stopped her.

Carter’s death, capped by Cooper and Vanderbilt vis-iting his grave together, is the film’s emotional center-piece. Filmmaker Liz Garbus includes an interview with Carter’s former girlfriend, who says she turned down his request to come over the night of his suicide because she had a pimple and didn’t want him to see it.

Vanderbilt and Cooper

had no hesitation reliving the painful time. “It brings him alive when you talk about him,” she said. “I’m close to a lot of his friends who were in Princeton with him and I always enjoy see-ing them and talking to them.”

Mother and son hope that some people who see the film will be encouraged to speak to elderly relatives about their lives.

“Anderson really knew little about my childhood because I’d never spoken about it,” Vanderbilt said. “So we really got to know each other and became re-ally close in a way that we never had before.”

Playwright celebrates immigrants in prize

speech NEW YORK (AP) — Com-

poser and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda has ac-cepted one of the largest prizes given for the stage by celebrating immigrants, saying that his creation of the Broadway smash “Ham-ilton” was sparked by learn-ing about Alexander Hamil-ton’s overseas roots.

Miranda, who on Thurs-day was awarded The Ed-ward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by Amer-ican History, told of read-ing a biography of the first U.S. treasury secretary by Ron Chernow and learning that he was born and raised in what was then the West Indies.

“I grew up in an immi-grant neighborhood. We just knew the rule was you’re going to have to work twice as hard,” Mi-randa, whose family came from Puerto Rico to New York, said in his acceptance speech.

“When I found that out about Hamilton, I said, ‘I know this guy. I know this guy and he’s not going to let me go.’ And he didn’t let me go for seven years.”

The prize, bestowed by Columbia University, was created to honor a new play or musical that explores the United States’ past and deals with “great issues of our day.” It comes with $100,000. This is the fourth year the prize has been given and the first time a musical has won.

“We are all in awe,” Ed-ward M. Kennedy Jr., the son of the late senator, told Miranda. “You’ve made his-tory come alive. And ‘Ham-

ilton’ makes us all want to learn more about history.”

Before the ceremony, Miranda got a chance to see some of Columbia’s Hamil-ton memorabilia, including his wedding band, enroll-ment papers and his final letter to his wife, Eliza, writ-ten on the morning of his fateful duel. He was also serenaded by the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, performing songs from “West Side Story,” a musical that inspired him to songwriting.

The prize was estab-lished by Kennedy’s sister, Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith, in consultation with playwright Tony Kushner. The year’s recipient is an-nounced every Feb. 22, the anniversary of the late sen-ator’s birth.

“Hamilton” explores Hamilton’s life and is told by a young African-Ameri-can, Asian and Latino cast and with music that blends musical theater, rap and pop.

The show has won a Grammy Award and awards from the Outer Critics Cir-cle, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle and the Drama Desk, and it is a likely candidate for Tony Awards this summer. The show’s album became the highest-debuting cast re-cording on the Billboard Top 200 in over 50 years.

Miranda said he hoped his work would inspire more: “History is so sub-jective. The teller of it de-termines it,” said Miranda. “I’m excited to see what sto-ries come out of this and what comes next.”

Celebrities inspire kids at first CA WE Day

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were among the stars bring-ing thousands of Los An-geles-area school kids to their feet Thursday at Cal-ifornia’s inaugural WE Day celebration.

The educational event drew 16,000 local students to the Forum in Inglewood, California, for a day of in-spirational speeches and celebrity appearances. Stu-dents earned admission to the WE Day gathering by participating in yearlong community service proj-ects with their schools.

Theron challenged the young audience to become the generation that ends AIDS. Rogen shared how a lack of resources for Al-zheimer’s disease inspired him, a self-described “lazy man-child,” to start his own charitable organiza-tion. Zooey Deschanel and the cast of TV’s “New Girl” encouraged the students to participate in a group hug.

Gomez opened the show by performing “Kill Em With Kindness.” Lo-vato roused the crowd with her new song, “Stone Cold.” Henry Winkler, Mar-tin Sheen, Joe Jonas, Hol-lywood couple Nikki Reed

and Ian Somerhalder, Tyrese Gibson, Amandla Stenberg, Kermit the Frog and singer Big Sean were among other entertainers addressing the students, who represented 550 Cali-fornia schools.

Several student activists were also recognized dur-ing the program for creat-ing their own charities or advocating for overcom-ing gender stereotypes and physical challenges. Among them were teen-age skiers Corrine Hindes and Katrine Kirsebom, who started an organiza-tion that donates hats and gloves from ski resorts’ lost

and found boxes to home-less people in Northern California.

Kids at WE Day Califor-nia heard about cultural appropriation, the plight of disappearing bees, the global need for clean water and how to become more eco-friendly. Fourteen WE Day events are being held across the United States, Canada and the U.K. The organization also provides curricula and guidance to schools to identify needs in their neighborhoods and ways to get involved.

Highlights from the pro-gram will air as a TV special August 28 on ABC.

‘Quantum Break’ has good concept, marred by tiresome gunplayWhat would you do if

you could control time? Visit the future and grab an iPhone 50? Kill a despised historical figure while he’s still a baby? Carve out some time to catch up on your Netflix queue?

Will Joyce, the genius who discovers time travel in “Quantum Break” (Mi-crosoft, for the Xbox One, PC, $59.95), wants none of that. He’s the kind of quirky brainiac who just wants to unlock the se-crets of the universe. Un-fortunately, his tinkering has busted the time-space continuum so badly the whole thing’s about to collapse.

You play Jack Joyce, Will’s brother, who’s dragged into the whole mess by an old friend named Paul Serene. Paul is head of Monarch Solu-tions, one of those myste-rious corporations that’s so powerful it needs its own military - and he has his own ideas about how to harness time travel. Is Paul insane? Can Will be saved? It’s up to Jack to find the answers.

Fortunately, he’s the kind of average-Joe who turns out to be ridicu-lously skilled with fire-arms. Unfortunately, sav-ing the world is going to require him to kill hun-dreds of people who made the mistake of signing on with Monarch. So what could have been a brain-bending time-travel romp turns into yet another trig-

ger-happy orgy of violence. Sigh.

At least Jack’s exposure to Will’s device gives him some unique talents. He can dodge bullets, freeze enemies and unleash “time blasts” that hurl op-ponents into the air. Occa-sionally, Jack needs to use his powers to solve rudi-mentary puzzles - like, say, reversing time to restore a broken bridge.

What’s most distinctive about “Quantum Break” is the way it’s presented. Most of the time you’re controlling Jack in com-puter-generated scenarios, like you would in a typical video game. But on occa-sion you’re invited to put down your controller and watch what Paul and the other characters are up to.

These non-interactive episodes are shot on full-

motion video, with hu-man actors in real-life settings. The quality is de-cent - about on the level of an episode of “24” - and the cast has some famil-iar faces, like “The Wire” veterans Aiden Gillen and Lance Reddick. Jack is played by Shawn Ashmore, best known for “The Fol-lowing,” and it’s a little dis-concerting to switch from watching the real actor to

controlling a computer-ized version.

The combination feels like binge-watching a season of a middling TV thriller, except you have some control over the out-come. The video segments you see are determined by some of the choices you make in-game, enough so that you’ll want to play through “Quantum Break” a few times to see all the

variations.That makes it all the

more disappointing when the drama wraps with an exasperating firefight that depends more on old-fashioned ballistics than trippy quantum physics. “Quantum Break” pulls off some neat tricks with its overall presentation - I just wish its separate ele-ments were cleverer. Two stars out of four.

gamespot.com‘Quantum Break’ has the potential for cool, mind-bending time control gameplay, but wastes its potential on just being another tired shooter.

Amidst a run of crucial Big 12 series, the West Vir-ginia University baseball team won’t face Texas, Okla-homa or Baylor this week-end. They’ll instead be fac-ing Furman, a team only dimly remembered by some West Virginia fans as an old foe from the Mountaineers’ Southern Conference days in the 1950s and ‘60s.

For WVU head coach Randy Mazey, the Furman Paladins are far from ob-scure — they’re a blast from the past.

“I know all about the Fur-man Paladins because I was a Clemson Tiger, which is only about 30 or 40 miles up the road,” Mazey said. “They’re going to come in here and

play hard. They’ve played really well against Clemson and South Carolina this year.”

Mazey met Furman a number of times during his days as a star player for Clemson in the 1980s, and he’s kept a close eye on his old rival this season head-ing into the Mountaineers’ (16-11) three-game meet-ing with the Paladins (11-17) at Monongalia County Ballpark.

Although Furman’s re-cord is unimpressive, con-sidering their comparatively weak strength of schedule in the Southern Conference, they’ve proven competitive against major conference foes Clemson and South Car-olina in tight nonconference losses.

West Virginia has had is-sues with overlooking unher-alded opponents this season

— one only needs to look at the two-game sweep at the hands of Canisius last week — and the Mountaineers need to keep the mental fo-cus that carried them to mid-week wins over Marshall and Eastern Michigan.

“We need to treat this like a Big 12 weekend,” Mazey said. “If we don’t, they’re very capable of winning this se-ries against us. We can’t think that we can take this week-end off.”

Furman is coming into the weekend having lost five out of its last six games, starting with a 9-7 loss to Clemson in Greenville, South Carolina. The Paladins dropped two of three against East Tennessee State last weekend and last lost to Gardner-Webb 2-1 on Thursday.

Making matters tougher for the Southern Confer-

ence’s seventh-place team is the fact that its two top hit-ters, freshman outfielder Jabari Richards and senior third baseman Jordan Simp-son, are suspended for the series. Furman still has hit-ters who can get it done as first baseman Brandon Elmy, second baseman Sims Griffith and outfielder Carter Grote are all hitting over .300.

West Virginia hopes to carry in the same veteran pitching rotation it has used every weekend this sea-son, with junior righthander Chad Donato facing Fur-man’s Will Gaddis on Friday, Ross Vance taking on junior Matthew Quarles on Satur-day. Senior Harry Norman is set to start for Furman Sun-day, but WVU’s starter is yet to be determined after reg-ular Sunday starter BJ My-ers left his last start with an

injury.The Mountaineers are

prepared for the schedule to change this weekend, how-ever, as inclement weather may force a doubleheader.

“We’re playing pretty well right now,” Mazey said. “We’ve won four out of five, and we need to carry this into the weekend because it looks like we may have some weather issues and may have to play a doubleheader for one of the games. That’s al-ways a cause for concern.”

Weather concerns have already forced one change to the schedule, as Friday’s game was moved up an hour and a half to a 5 p.m. first pitch. Saturday’s game is set for 4 p.m., and first pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m on Sunday.

THROWBACK TIME

BY CONNOR HICKSSPORTS WRITER

@DAIlyAThENAEuM

After two lopsided losses so far this spring, the West Virginia women’s soccer team hopes to rebound this weekend as it plays host to Georgetown at Dreams-work Field in Morgantown.

The game, originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, was moved to Sunday at 1:30 p.m. due to threat of inclement weather, and will be played on Dreamswork Field, the team’s practice facility, in order to avoid damag-ing the pitch of Dick Dlesk Stadium.

The Mountaineers have fallen to Georgetown in their last two meetings, first in last year’s NCAA Tournament and again in an exhibition match last August.

The match is the third of a difficult six-game spring slate for the Mountaineers, who fell to Penn State in the Elite Eight last season. Last weekend, West Vir-ginia fell to rival Pitt 3-0. Over spring break, WVU also lost 3-0 to the West-ern New York Flash of the Women’s Professional Soc-cer League.

It is important to note that these two losses can’t be taken too seriously, con-sidering the team is play-ing in the absence of Kade-isha Buchanan and Ashley Lawrence, both of whom are practicing with the Ca-nadian national team to prepare for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics.

So far, the spring has had less of a focus on the Mountaineers’ usual win-ning ways and more of a

focus on allowing younger players to get playing time in order to get a better idea of what has to be done for next season.

Most importantly, soph-omore goaltender Michelle Newhouse has stepped in to the net for the Moun-taineers, filling the void left by Hannah Steadman, who will graduate this spring as the most successful goal-tender in the program’s 20-year history.

While the score might not accurately reflect her performance, Newhouse

is maturing as well as coach Nikki Izzo-Brown could hope. The goalten-der is playing with a fairly inexperienced defense in front of her and will cer-tainly have an easier time once the All-American Bu-chanan returns for the fall season. Regardless, Ne-whouse has posted some miraculous saves through the spring, as well as a first-half shutout against the professional Flash.

With several underclass-men seeing the majority of the playing against the

team’s first two opponents this spring, Izzo-Brown and her coaching staff hope progress will be seen not just by next season, but by the end of the six-game spring schedule.

“We learned a lot on where we need to im-prove,” said assistant coach Marisa Kanela in an inter-view with WVUSports.com last weekend following the loss to Pitt.. “Defensively, we need to work on orga-nization. Offensively, we need to work on bearing down in front of the net so

we can finish our oppor-tunities. Thankfully, we have four more games, and we’re excited about those chances to continue on the road to improvement.”

Because the match has been moved to Dreams-work Field, there will be limited seating for fans, but attendance is still en-couraged. Kick-off is set for 1:30 p.m.. Dreamswork Field is located across the street from Dick Dlesk Soc-cer Stadium.

@DAIlyAThENAEuM

After playing much of the spring in the southern United States, the West Virginia University men’s golf team returns a little closer to home this week-end as they’re set to com-pete at the Robert Kepler Invitational, hosted by Ohio State.

Due to the possibil-ity of inclement weather, Ohio State shortened the tournament from 54 to 36 holes. The first 18 will be played Saturday, and the second round of 18 will be played Sunday.

With the Mountain-eers having not played up to expectations in re-cent tournaments, head coach Sean Covich has shuffled up the WVU lineup. Sophomore Av-ery Schneider and fresh-man Max Sear will retain their place in the lineup, as will freshman Tristan Nicholls, rather than competing as an individ-ualist like he did at Mis-sissippi State. New ad-ditions this week will be freshman Cole Hand and senior Mason Short. This will be both Hand and Short’s first competitive action since the Presi-dent’s Day Challenge in February.

“We are shaking up the lineup this week to get our younger guys some valu-able tournament experi-ence before the end of the season,” Covich said, in an interview with WVUS-ports.com. “It will be nice to have Avery Schneider in the lineup, as he’s from Columbus and has played several rounds on the Scarlet Course. Having him there will help the younger guys get familiar with the course. Weather conditions will certainly be a factor this weekend, temperatures are ex-pected to be in lower 30’s with high winds and rain or snow. We will find out how mentally tough our guys are in these adverse conditions.”

The Scarlet Course will be one of the longest golf courses the Mountain-eers have played this sea-son, sizing up at 7,455 yards. Ohio State’s course was designed by Alister MacKenzie, the same course architect who de-signed Augusta National, home of this week’s Mas-ters tournament on the PGA Tour. Renovations in recent years were overseen and designed by PGA Tour legend and Ohio State alum Jack Nicklaus.

Concerns of fatigue re-main for the Mountain-eers after playing two tournaments back-to-back this past weekend, with only a short three-day turnaround before the tournament at Ohio State.

“We’re trying to take any sort of load off that we can,” Covich said. “It’s going to be tough. I talked to Brian (strength and conditioning coach) about trying to take it easy on them at workouts. At this point we’re trying to maintain the energy we have.”

West Virginia will see a number of big name teams this weekend, most notably from the Big Ten, including Northwestern, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State and Penn State.

After back-to-back let-downs this past weekend, the Mountaineers are ea-ger to turn things around with the Big 12 Champi-onships only three weeks away. A packed April schedule hasn’t done them any favors, but in order to close out the sea-son strong, West Virginia will need the likes of Sear, Schneider and Nicholls to regain their early season form.

Men’s soccer

WVU looks for second straight spring victoryBy RogeR TuRneR

SportS Writer @Dailyathenaeum

The WVU men’s soccer team travels to Richmond, Virginia, Saturday to take on the VCU Rams in game two of its five-game spring slate.

The Mountaineers opened the spring soccer exhibition period against ri-val Pitt in a backyard brawl matchup that came down to the wire last Saturday. Se-nior captain Joey Piatczyc scored a game-winning goal to secure a 2-1 victory for the Mountaineers. Last week’s meeting between West Vir-ginia and Pitt was the first time the two border rivals have faced each other since the Mountaineers departure from the Big East in 2011.

All 16 West Virginia play-ers saw action in the first ex-hibition match against the Panthers. Junior Felix An-gerer and Piatczyc recorded the two goals for the Moun-taineers, while freshman goalkeeper Konrad Dziedzic made his debut for WVU.

The 2-1 final from Am-brose Athletic Field in Pitts-burgh was the first victory for WVU, who looks to start the 2016 spring exhibition season on the right foot, coming off a 7-12 record and

MAC semifinals appearance last season.

The Rams have taken on Division I opponents James Madison and Navy and also faced off against the semi-pro Richmond Kickers or-ganization in an exhibition contest.

VCU touts a young crop of talent this spring after com-ing off a 7-10 record last sea-son and a trip to the Atlantic 10 Championship ending in a bitter defeat against con-ference foe Dayton. The

Rams feature a squad of 27 players, with 10 freshman and nine sophomore mem-bers that will benefit from action this spring. West Vir-ginia comes into the exhibi-tion match with 16 players on the spring roster, as the incoming recruiting class will join the team for fall competition.

After the Mountain-eers’ contest against VCU and home exhibitions ver-sus Charleston and Buck-nell, the team will host open

tryouts for any WVU stu-dents interested in joining the program. The tryouts will take place on Tuesday, April 19, just three days be-fore the final spring game when the Mountaineers take on alumni at Dick Dlesk Stadium.

Saturday’s exhibition game between WVU and VCU will kickoff at 1:00 p.m. at Sportsbackers Stadium on the campus of VCU.

Mountaineers search for first Big 12 win

By neeL MADHAVAnSportS Writer

@Dailyathenaeum

Coming off its bye week, the West Virginia Univer-sity women’s tennis team is set to return to action this weekend with two matches against No. 34 Kansas (12-5, 2-2 Big 12) and Kansas State (8-9, 0-4 Big 12).

“During the bye week we took a step back and went back to working on the ba-sic things that we were fo-cusing on over winter break, technical things and issues, foot work, conditioning, things like that,” said head coach Miha Lisac.

For the Mountaineers (6-8, 0-3 Big 12), the journey toward their first ever Big 12 win continues. With se-nior captain Hailey Barrett still out with a foot injury, sophomore Habiba Shaker will again lead the Moun-taineers at the top of the lineup. Shaker has blazed a trail through her oppo-nents this season, amass-

ing an 11-1 overall record in singles.

Junior Kaja Mrgole re-turned from a stress frac-ture injury two weeks ago in the match against Iowa State. Even though she dropped her singles match, she paired up with sopho-more Lyn Yuen Choo to win her doubles match. Accord-ing to Lisac, it’ll take Mrgole a few matches to get back to full-match fitness, es-pecially after being out for a couple of months. The Mrgole-Choo duo has com-piled a team best 5-0 dou-bles record and looks to im-prove on that this weekend.

Freshman Paula Goetz and sophomore Carolina Lewis have struggled in re-cent matches, but both still boast near .500 singles re-cords. Lewis suffered a heartbreaking three-set loss against Iowa State, but looks to get back to her winning ways against the Jayhawks and Wildcats.

“We do have to continue to get better,” Lisac said.

“Our doubles lineup hasn’t necessarily been working out, especially in recent weeks. I feel like we were able to figure out a lineup when Haley was still in the lineup, but that has not been working as well as we would have liked it to since Haley went out. In general, we have to get better in dou-bles. It doesn’t matter nec-essarily who the pairings are. The execution has to be a lot better than where we are right now.”

Kansas is reeling as of late. After a 12-2 start to the season, the Jayhawks have dropped three straight matches, including two straight in Big 12 play. The Jayhawks are led by No. 95 Anastasiya Rychagova, who in addition to being 11-4 this spring, has defeated a number of other nation-ally ranked players this sea-son, including No. 65 Vikto-riya Lushkova of Oklahoma State.

The Wildcats and the Mountaineers are a lot

alike; both are young teams still trying to find and es-tablish their identities. The match against Kansas State might be the best opportu-nity that West Virginia has this season to get over that hurdle of winning the pro-gram’s first Big 12 Confer-ence match.

“Both teams are going to be tough, I mean just like ev-erybody in the Big 12,” Lisac said. “Kansas has been do-ing very well. They’re having a very good season. I mean it’s nothing we haven’t seen. They’re definitely moving down the right road, but nothing we haven’t seen in the past or wouldn’t be able to compete against.”

The Mountaineers will face the Jayhawks at 3 p.m. today at either Ridgeview Racquet Club or the Moun-taineer Tennis Courts be-hind the Coliseum depend-ing on weather conditions, and will face Kansas State at 10 a.m. on Sunday morning.

Track

West Virginia hits the road, travels to FairfaxBy JoeL noRMAn

SportS Writer @Dailyathenaeum

With another weekend comes another road event for the Mountaineers.

After splitting up last week-end, the West Virginia outdoor track and field team reunites this weekend for the Mason Spring Invitational in Fairfax, Virginia, on Saturday.

Last year at the Invitational, then-freshman Shamoya Mc-Neil got second place in the triple jump with a then-career best 13.39-meter jump.

Last weekend, West Vir-ginia competed in the Texas Relays and Stanford Invitational.

At the Relays, Shamoya Mc-Neil and freshman Danique Bryan represented West Vir-ginia. With the games broad-

cast to the world on the Long-horn Sports Network via ESPN, McNeil jumped 12.75 meters for a fifth-place fin-ish in the triple jump. Bryan’s mark of 5.54 meters in the long jump section B earned a ninth-place finish.

“Texas was good to our student-athletes,” head coach Sean Cleary said afterwards in an interview with WVUsports.com. “The weather was not what we were hoping for, but both Shamoya (McNeil) and Danique (Bryan) went out and competed very well. This was Shamoya’s best opening meet, while Danique appears to be rounding into shape. This trip was successful.”

Sophomores Brynn Harsh-barger, Jillian Forsey and Bria Welker traveled to Califor-nia for the Stanford Invita-tional. Harshbarger got 34th

place in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 35:28.09. Fors-ey’s 16:05.89 time earned her a 14th-place finish in the 5,000-meter run, while Welker rounded out the group with a 33rd-place finish in a time of 58.9 in the 400-meter run.

“Jillian (Forsey) ran a tre-mendous race. She ran the second fastest time of her life and achieved a mark that will be required for the NCAA Championships,” Cleary said. “Jillian ran a little faster than we expected her to run today. This bodes well for the season. Brynn (Harshbarger) was un-fortunately not quite up to strength after developing a respiratory sickness over the past few weeks. While she did run her fastest time ever, she was hoping for a little more out of herself. Savana (Plom-bon) unfortunately did not

make it to the line after con-tracting a virus just hours be-fore the race. It was heart-breaking pulling her from the race. In the long run, we will be glad that we did so.”

Cleary has stressed various times the need for West Vir-ginia to gain NCAA qualifi-ers. Last weekend, no Moun-taineers finished higher than fourth place. Granted, there were only five total athletes competing in the two events, but West Virginia needs im-proved results if the goal of reaching the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Champion-ship remains.

Now the Mountaineers turn their attention to the Ma-son Springs Invitational. West Virginia looks to grab a few victories in Fairfax.

Philadelphia 76ers move ahead in rebuilding process without HinkiePHILADELPHIA (AP) —

Sam Hinkie quit on The Process.

The Philadelphia 76ers threw a pizza party.

No, the two events were not related, though it was a bit peculiar to find the team’s practice facility fes-tooned with balloons as se-lect season-ticket holders gorged on food a day after perhaps the most bizarre departure in 76ers history.

With Franklin, the blue dog mascot, waving from a window, the Sixers wound down practice with Drake’s “Energy” blaring through the court.

“I got enemies, got a lotta enemies / Got a lotta peo-ple tryna drain me of my energy.”

Might as well have been Hinkie’s theme song.

The Sixers are moving

ahead in their painful re-build without the general manager who methodically turned the organization into one of the worst in profes-sional sports.

The new era comes a day after Hinkie informed the team via a 13-page man-ifesto littered with refer-ences to Abraham Lincoln and flightless birds that he was out.

Coach Brett Brown was again left holding the bag as Hinkie scrammed out of town.

“He obviously felt like this was not something he wanted to be a part of,” Brown said Thursday. “He didn’t want to be a part of the collaborative effort.”

Brown decided to stick out this elongated rebuild and was rewarded - re-warded? - earlier this sea-

son with a contract exten-sion. Hinkie was hired by owner Josh Harris in 2013 to find a creative way to turn the Sixers into winners. Hinkie’s plan - gut the ros-ter of any solid NBA talent, shred payroll and stockpile draft picks to build for the future - had the initial back-ing of ownership.

The 76ers went 19-63 on his watch in his first season and 18-64 last season.

Year 3 has been even worse even by those miser-able standards.

The Sixers started 1-30 and Harris had been em-barrassed enough. Hinkie’s power was weakened in December when the Six-ers hired Jerry Colangelo to oversee basketball opera-tions. Hinkie ran an analyt-ics-minded front office and when the Sixers wanted to

add more basketball people, he balked.

Hinkie was pushed and became more defiant, in-sisting he didn’t help and that his sour relationship with agents would improve once he started throwing cash at free agents - which the Sixers are finally poised to do this summer.

Hinkie did not share in Philadelphia’s vision of hav-ing him adjust or add to the power structure, so he quit.

Following Hinkie’s de-parture, the 76ers looked to the family tree for a replace-ment - Bryan Colangelo had long been mentioned as having a future role in the organization after stints in Phoenix and Toronto.

The Sixers are set to hire the former NBA executive of the year as their general manager, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The person spoke on condition of ano-nymity because Colangelo’s hiring was not official.

Brown said after practice Thursday he learned Hinkie quit through the team’s me-dia relations department.

Hinkie lasted less than three full seasons and left the Sixers with the worst re-cord in the league at 10-68.

The Process, Part II is underway.

“It doesn’t mean things have been blown up,” Brown said. “We’re com-

mitted to the path that we said we were going to be on three years ago. No mat-ter who was going to be in charge of the draft this sea-son, next season, we’re jumping into the free-agent market.”

Harris and co-owner Da-vid Blitzer attended prac-tice and did not speak to the media.

Hinkie was also at the practice facility and met with some of the players. He did not talk to the media.

Hinkie made his state-ment in a farewell letter, ob-tained by ESPN, that blind-sided management and caught Brown off guard.

“There has been much criticism of our approach,” he wrote. “There will be more. A competitive league like the NBA necessitates a zig while our competitors comfortably zag. We often chose not to defend our-selves against much of the criticism, largely in an ef-fort to stay true to the ideal of having the longest view in the room.”

Hinkie doesn’t exactly leave behind a barren cup-board - Nerlens Noel, Joel Embiid, Jahlil Okafor and overseas prospect Dario Saric still have potential on the court or as trade bait, the Sixers have about $60 mil-lion in salary cap space, and they could have up to four first-round picks in the 2016

draft. Even without Hinkie in place, Brown’s job is safe.

“I know he’s taking his hits all over the place,” Brown said. “But he hired me. I was his partner.”

Like any partnership, they squabbled.

The 2014 draft could de-fine the organization for a generation.

With two top-10 picks, the Sixers selected Em-biid and Saric. Embiid was picked at No. 3 and has yet to play because of foot inju-ries and there’s no guaran-tee he’ll become even a ser-viceable NBA player. Saric has been stuffed overseas and could play there for at least one more season.

Hinkie shaped a roster this season that failed to in-clude a solid point guard or any veterans to help guide the young players. Okafor, the No. 3 pick of the 2015 draft, had his season marred by a series of off-court inci-dents and he served a two-game suspension for his role in a Boston street fight. Management refused to ad-dress Okafor’s behavior or punishment, leaving Brown as the lone spokesman.

Through the draft, the Colangelos, or free agents, Brown said the worst is be-hind the Sixers.

“I feel like patience as we’ve known it isn’t going to have to be required as much anymore,” he said.

Former basketball player injured in Brussels attack ready to win the day

BRUSSELS (AP) -- Sebas-tien Bellin, a 6-foot-9 (205-cm) giant once celebrated for his skills on the basketball court, is better known now as the man photographed lying bloody on the floor of Brus-sels’ main airport after the March 22 bombings.

But as he recovers at the Erasmus Hospital in Brus-sels, Bellin says he’s grate-ful the picture was taken. It shows him how close to death he was and reminds him of all the people who helped save his life.

“That picture set off an in-credible amount of positiv-ity ... that ultimately ended up with me keeping both my legs, being alive,” says Bellin, a former member of the Bel-

gian national team who also played at Oakland Univer-sity in Michigan. “So is that the determining factor? No, probably not. But is it one of the factors? Absolutely.”

It’s almost as if he feels ev-eryone around the world who saw the photo was pulling for him.

“People in general are good people. They see some-body suffering, they see somebody in obvious pain, well, the first instinct is: ‘Man, I hope they are going to be OK,’” says Bellin, who also played professional basket-ball in Belgium and is a well-known figure in this small country of 11 million. “If you can get collectively a mas-sive amount of people that think that, I’m pretty sure that does something to the overall outcome.”

The 37-year-old resident of Battle Creek, Michigan, who now works for a sports video company, had been in Belgium on business and was on his way home on the day of the attack. He had just checked in for his flight when the first blast went off. At first there was darkness. He started to run, and the sec-ond explosion threw him into the air. He remembers hitting the ground.

“The first thing I noticed was my hip,” he says. “I re-member a huge ball of kind of bone and flesh just kind of sticking out of my hip.”

From that point on he said to himself he had to get out of there - but his legs wouldn’t cooperate. He couldn’t move.

“At one point, somebody came and dragged me to be-hind the column, where the famous picture was taken,” he says. “So I was holding my one leg, which was almost detached from my body, and they were grabbing me, they were pulling me with my other arm. I can remember the pain.”

A military medic applied a tourniquet to stop the bleed-ing in one leg. Later, another passenger tied one on the other.

He ended up losing 50 per-cent of his blood, but he re-mained conscious through-out and kept pushing for treatment. A triple helping of

pasta carbonara the night be-fore had kept his blood sugar up, preventing him from passing out.

Police had cordoned off the attack zone, fearing an-other attack. Eventually, Bellin was placed on a lug-gage cart and pushed out of the cordon.

After insisting he needed to go, he kept asking to be pushed to the front, to get out of the airport.

“It’s that survival instinct,” he says. “You want to push yourself in the front of the line.”

Now Bellin is using that positive attitude to rebuild his life. Wearing a T-shirt embla-zoned with the slogan “win the day,” he says he’s focused on two things: rehabbing his shattered legs and spending more time with his wife and two daughters.

“The hardest part is not on me, it’s on my family, it’s on my loved ones who saw that picture,” he says.

Back home in Michi-gan, his wife Sara was get-ting their daughters ready for school on March 22 when friends started mes-saging. She signed on to her computer and turned to the news, only to be confronted with the image of her hus-band, blood and debris be-neath him, his legs splayed awkwardly in front.

“I lost it,” she says, now sit-ting on the hospital bed next to her husband, whose left leg is propped up on pillows, the sheet thrown aside to reveal the traction.

Bellin occasionally shifts his massive shoulders by pulling on a triangular tra-peze suspended above the bed, trying to get comfortable as he recounts the events.

Family members blanch - some are hearing the de-tails for the first time. His fa-ther Jean, the family rock, has crossed his arms across his chest and seems to be hang-ing on for dear life. Sara re-coils as the gruesome truth is described. Jean’s wife, Lisa, reaches out to comfort her.

And yet as Bellin talks, there is optimism. He was close to death and he sur-vived. Can it get better than that?
