IHOP is bringing a sec-ond location to the Mor-gantown area, this time in West Virginia Uni-versity’s newest dormi-tory complex, University Park.
The IHOP, scheduled to open September 2015, will be open 24 hours a day and offer students who cannot commute to the existing Morgantown IHOP off of Cheat Road a chance to still enjoy the restaurant and its famous pancakes.
“We want to wel-come students, and be
a part of the commu-nity for many years to come,” said Jay Johns, se-nior vice president of stra-tegic operations imple-mentation at DineEquity, Incorporated.
The restaurant will be run by IHOP Franchisee Bob Sharp, who has been a part of the chain for 45 years.
“You will get a lot of peo-ple here, (so) we can serve 24/7,” Sharp said, refer-ring to the restaurant’s lo-cation that is within walk-ing distance of several University housing build-ings, Ruby Memorial Hos-pital and Milan Puskar Stadium.
IHOP Operations In-
terim Vice President Charles Scaccia does not expect to see any commu-nity blow back concerning the corporate restaurant’s opening in Morgantown. Large corporations coming to Morgantown has been a pattern in the last few years as more and more open their doors and local businesses close theirs.
“That’s the great thing about IHOP,” Scaccia said. “We connect with the com-munity wherever we go.”
Scaccia said he be-lieves this is an oppor-tunity to help grow the ever sprawling city of Morgantown.
“Morgantown is a com-munity that thrives on ed-
ucation and the college,” Scaccia said. “This is a great opportunity to con-tinue the growth and devel-opment of (Morgantown).”
According to Mark Nes-selroad, the chief operat-ing officer of Glenmark Holding LLC, Univer-sity Park is “100 percent on time” to be opened in fall of 2015, a factor in which some expressed worry after the opening delay faced by University Place and its tenants in fall 2014.
Nesselroad says Uni-versity Park is already fur-ther ahead in construc-tion than University Place was this time last year, and furniture is scheduled
to go into the building on June 1.
Johns said the IHOP has been proposed for about 6 months, and came to-gether rather quickly as the building itself went up.
“O u r p a r t n e r s h i p with WVU has been great,” Johns said. “WVU has been 100 percent supportive.”
Along with offering a new late-night or post-football game dining ex-perience for students and community mem-bers, IHOP will also of-fer new job opportunities with flexible schedules to work with students’ needs.
Johns says while IHOP would be interested in in-corporating work study benefits into their pro-gram for student em-ployees, it is too early to say if that will work out.
Everyone on the IHOP team said they expected no issues in opening and op-erating the new IHOP lo-cation. They are excited to see how the “to-go” format of their sales will develop.
“Students are a grab-and -go crowd,” Scaccia said. “Whenever you’re studying, whenever you’re hungry, we’ll be there for you.”

West Virginia Univer-sity offered a sneak peek of the Evansdale Cross-ing, a building being con-structed to connect the up-per and lower levels of the Evansdale campus, Friday afternoon.
The Crossing is sched-uled to open in early spring 2016, and will offer several
amenities meant to bring the Evansdale campus up to par with the Downtown campus, including a two-story Barnes & Noble, a Reed College of Media In-novation Lab, a post office, four new eateries and sev-eral new student services offices.
“The Evansdale Cross-ing really is renovation and rebirth right here on the Evansdale campus,” said WVU Provost and Vice Pres-
ident of Academic Affairs, Joyce McConnell.
McConnell said she is ex-cited for the opportunities the building will offer for Evansdale students.
“Think about it as a hub. A hub of student activ-ity offering an array of ser-vices,” McConnell said. “It will enhance the student experience.”
The building is meant to make the lives of the stu-dents living on Evansdale
more similar to the lives of those living downtown by offering the same services within walking distance, she said.
There will be a registrar office, a student accounts office and a financial aid office within the Cross-ing to offer easy access to students.
Also featured in the building will be the new Reed College of Media In-novation Lab, which will be
home to several 3D printers, drones and other technol-ogy meant to enhance the experience of those in the Reed College.
“This is a great day for the University and also a great day for the Reed College of Media,” said Maryanne Reed, Dean of the Reed Col-lege of Media. “This build-ing represents (our) focus on the future.”
Reed said the Innovation Lab is a “game changer,”
and anticipates seeing the work that will be done there in the future.
Four new Morgantown eateries, including a Lit-tle Donkey Tacos, a Hugh Baby’s BBQ and Burger Shop, a Collo Rosso Pizza and a new Taziki’s location will find their home in the Crossing.

West Virginia University hosted its 10th annual Relay for Life Friday night in the WVU Natatorium to honor all those who have suffered or passed away from cancer.
The all-night event, going from 6 p.m. Friday night to 6 a.m. Saturday morning, was meant to symbolize how cancer never sleeps. It featured numerous clubs and organizations from around WVU selling goods to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
“Anyone you talk to is going to have someone they know affected by cancer—that’s why this is so impor-tant,” said Ashley Greer, a graduate student and senior advisor for the WVU branch of Relay for Life.
The Relay for Life event was organized by a private committee of WVU students who worked throughout the year to coordinate the event with the school.
“Every year is just very exciting because there are al-ways new people,” Greer said. “It seems like every year we grow and grow.”
The 12-hour event featured numerous activities meant to keep the morale up for those participating, including a Mr. Relay pageant, a tug of war challenge, a dodgeball tournament and a DJ from WVU’s radio sta-tion U92 playing music all through the night.
The most sentimental of the events came in the lumi-naria ceremony. Those in attendance wrote the names of their loved ones who have suffered from cancer on pa-per bags with glow sticks inside and placed them on the bleachers. In near darkness, members of the crowd were summoned forward to crack the sticks in their bags. Some were crying in remembrance of loved ones lost to cancer as they returned to their places in the crowd.
“Cancer affects so many people. This is a great way to remember all of them,” said Kandis Castelli, a graduate physical therapy student.
Relay for Life also gave clubs and organizations a chance to complete their mandatory community service hours while giving back to the community and raising money for cancer research. The event allowed them to connect more with other organizations.
“There is so much interaction between us and other people in the school,” said Joseph Gruber, a team mem-ber of WVU Club Gymnastics, who sold baked goods and lemonade to those walking around the track. “This helps get our name out there while also giving back to

WVU hosts 10th annual Relay for Life event, raises cancer awareness
Members of Greek community honored for achievements

@dailyathenaeUm
Fraternities and soror-ities at West Virginia Uni-versity were honored last night for their achieve-ments during the school year in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.
Awards were given based on the level of in-volvement each orga-nization showed in the categories of scholar-ship, leadership, service and brotherhood and sisterhood.
To kick off the cere-mony, University Pres-ident E. Gordon Gee spoke about Greek life in Morgantown.
“I believe in our Greek program here at WVU,” Gee said.
Gee recalled his own Greek experiences and expressed the hopes he has for the future of these organizations to improve the lives of WVU students across campus.
“As you think about the awards and recog-nitions this evening, re-member that you carry an inordinate level of re-sponsibility to make cer-tain that this University is recognized as a place that doesn’t only play hard but works hard,” Gee said.
Dr. Barbara Copen-haver –Bailey, assistant vice president for Student Success, closed the cere-mony by speaking about what it truly means to belong to a fraternity or sorority.
“Life is about loving and taking care of one another, being the best person you can be, serv-ing your community and making the world a better place,” Copenhaver-Bai-ley said. “I challenge each of you to take that to heart and together, as the WVU Greek community, let’s continue to do good work, build on our successes and continue to be the best we can be to make
the world an even better place.”
Kappa Kappa Gamma and Sigma Phi Epsilon were awarded for the emphasis the two orga-nizations have put on academics.
Next, awards were given to organizations for their dedication to brotherhood and sister-hood. Because of their outstanding numbers and recruitment program, Al-pha Omicron Pi received the award for excel-lence in membership re-cruitment. Kappa Kappa Gamma, Sigma Alpha Ep-silon and Sigma Phi Epsi-lon also received awards based on their commit-ment to brotherhood and sisterhood.
The recipients of ser-vice awards were chosen for the work that they’ve done this past year to raise money and orga-nize service-learning op-portunities on campus and throughout Morgan-town. These awards were given to Sigma Alpha Ep-silon, Alpha Phi and Chi Omega.
Several awards were given to Greek chap-ters based on their abil-ities to run their organi-zations efficiently. Some of these awards included Excellence in Operations, Membership Develop-ment Education and Risk Management. Recipients of these awards, and other awards in this category, included Sigma Kappa, Alpha Omicron Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Chi Omega, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Delta Gamma.
Awards were also given to several individ-uals who stand out in the Greek community.
Jon Salazar and Ellen Walburn were named Outstanding Greek Man and Woman respec-tively for their hard work and dedication to Greek life.

the community.”Many different teams
hosted activities relevant to the sports they play. Along with their baked goods, the Club Gymnas-tics team also featured “Flip for a Buck,” where they would perform flips if
paid a dollar. The lacrosse team hosted a version of corn hole using lacrosse sticks.
Many local celebri-ties attended, includ-ing Mountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia and for-mer WVU quarterback Pat White, who walked around the track and par-ticipated in many different activities.
“This is something
we look forward to al-ways,” said Dustin Star-sick, who represented the WVU Physical Therapy department along with Castelli.
Starsick and Castelli sold raffle tickets to win basketballs autographed by members of the wom-en’s and men’s basket-ball teams. In past years, they offered massages for donations, and while
they didn’t this year, they were still confident in the amount of donations they were receiving.
“Just asking for dona-tions is not the best way to (raise money),” Star-sick said. “Getting people (to) have fun and give do-nations is great, though, and that’s the point of this whole night.”
Next, Elizabeth De-ver and Blake Humphrey received awards for be-ing this year’s Emerging
Greek Leaders and for recognizing what it takes to be a leader in the Greek community.
For their continued dedication to the success of WVU’s Greek organiza-tions, Steve Dearien and Whitney Rae Hatcher re-
ceived the awards for Out-standing Alumnus and Alumna.
Lastly, the Homecom-ing award for Greek Week 2014 was awarded to Al-pha Xi Delta, while Kappa Kappa Gamma, Alpha Sigma Phi and Sigma Al-
pha were recognized as the winners of Greek Week 2015.

A select group of gradu-ating West Virginia Univer-sity students will have the opportunity next month to take a professional gradu-ation photograph courtesy of WVU.
Stationed at the Health Sciences Center Pylons on May 11 and at Woodburn Circle on May 12, photog-raphers will spend five minutes with each student who has pre-registered for
a time slot. “This is an opportunity
developed by our Univer-sity Relations social media staff as an option for grad-uates looking to get photos in front of iconic places on campus like Woodburn and the HSC pylons,” said Tony Dobies, WVU social media strategist. “We know stu-dents do this each year...the week before Commence-ment, students fill Wood-burn Circle for a photo like this.”
Dobie also discussed the University’s motivation be-
hind offering a service like this.
“We just wanted to do something nice for our students, give them a free photo and eliminate the ef-fort of trying to find a pho-tographer and pay upwards of $200 for the same type of photo.”
Although registration is now closed, Dobies said more time slots may be-come available through so-cial media at later dates.
“We were blown away by how quickly students reacted and signed up,”
Dobies said. “Currently, all of the slots are filled up, so there are no longer oppor-tunities for students to sign up, but there’s a chance if the demand for these pho-tos continue over the next few weeks, that we’ll be opening up a few spots and give them out through various contests on social media.”
In addition to the gradu-ation photos, WVU is hold-ing a video campaign ask-ing students to share their plans after graduation.
“This is an additional
piece to our new brand campaign, ‘Mountain-eers Go First,’’’ Dobies said. “We’ll have a few incen-tives to give away to stu-dents who record one of these videos.”
Students can see past en-tries from this campaign by searching for “Mountain-eers Go First” on Youtube.
Students may allow up to 10 additional people in their photo.
Those who have signed up are asked to come five minutes before their sched-uled time, and are re-
minded to bring the photo release from the link be-low. Photographers have the right to cancel if par-ticipants are unavailable or unprepared, according to a press release.
While all times lots are currently full, interested graduating students are encouraged to monitor @WestVirginiaU on Twitter for any openings.

which will sell beer and wine, will sit on the top floor.
“We’re doing more than just serving people cups of coffee,” said Doug Van Scoy, the fresh hospitality Partner representing both Octane Lounge and the juice bar.
Van Scoy said the Oc-tane Lounge and juice bar will create hundreds of jobs
while bringing WVU grad-uates back to the Univer-sity, referring to the owner of Octane who is a WVU alumnus.
Also in attendance at the event were Morgantown City coucilmember Nancy Ganz and Deputy Mayor Marti Shamberger, who both expressed the excite-ment this building will hold for not only the University, but the entire Morgantown community.
“From a community per-spective, we really appreci-
ate the University keeping us informed,” Shamberger said. “I can’t wait to see (the Crossing) open in the fall.”
The Evansdale Crossing sneak peek was organized and coordinated by Pro-fessor Geah Pressgrove’s strategic communication capstone class, where stu-dents have been working for months to plan the event.
“We had to build aware-ness for everything,” said Keryssa Slaubaugh, a cap-stone student. “We’re re-ally excited about how (the
Crossing) will shape the Evansdale campus.”
Some at the tour were given a tour of the inside of the building, but others went on a virtual tour of the building through Google Glass.
“I think this whole build-ing is really exciting,” said Mary Cate Prendergast from Octane Lounge. “If I had something like this when I went (to) college, I would not have wanted to leave.”

London (aP) — There is still time to save lives — that’s why governments and aid agencies Sunday rushed doctors, volunteers and equipment to Nepal without waiting for the dust to settle.
U.N. spokeswoman Orla Fagan, who is heading to Nepal, said preventing the spread of disease is one of the most important tasks facing aid workers who are arriving.
“There are 14 interna-tional medical teams on the way and either 14 or 15 in-ternational search-and-res-cue teams on the way,” she said. “They need to get in as soon as possible. They will use military aircraft to get them into Nepal.”
Diarrhea was already a growing problem and a measles outbreak was feared, with vaccines in short supply, the U.N. warned in a report.
Substantial logistical
hurdles remain, but there were hopeful signs as Kath-mandu’s international air-port reopened after Satur-day’s crushing earthquake, though there were still de-lays as aftershocks con-tinued. Some aid vehicles were able to travel overland from Indian to the stricken Nepalese city of Pokhara.
“That means supplies could potentially come in overland from India. That is a positive sign,” said Ben Pickering, Save the Chil-dren’s humanitarian ad-viser in Britain. “The airport opening is a small miracle.”
He cautioned that cha-otic conditions may cre-ate a bottleneck at the air-port as governments and aid agencies try to bring in personnel and supplies in the coming days.
The need is great: UNI-CEF said Sunday that nearly 1 million children in areas affected by the earth-quake are in “urgent need”
of humanitarian assistance. UNICEF staff reported dwindling water supplies, power shortages and com-munications breakdowns.
Celebrities like singer Shakira sent tweets ap-pealing for help for UNI-CEF. The mobile payment company Square created a “cashtag” to donate: cash.me/$unicef. PayPal an-nounced it was waiving fees for donations to several aid organizations.
Information was still lacking about conditions at the earthquake’s epicenter, Pickering said.
“Going forward it’s about access to the epicenter, and
helicopters are the key, but it’s not clear whether they can be sourced and whether the high altitude is a problem,” he said, adding that Save the Children has emergency kits pre-posi-tioned in three warehouses in Nepal and plans to dis-tribute bedding, buckets and other basic supplies to 2,000 families as quickly as possible.
Other charities face simi-lar roadblocks.
International Search and Rescue Germany said a team of 52 relief workers including doctors, experts trained in searching for people buried under rub-
ble and several dog squads are flying Sunday. The team will bring a mobile medical treatment center.
Spokesman Stefan Heine said the priority was to get to the scene of the quake as quickly as possible to find those still alive.
They will be supported by numerous governments that have announced plans to send aid worth millions of dollars.
The Pentagon said a U.S. military plane departed Sunday morning for Ne-pal carrying 70 personnel, including a U.S. Agency for International Develop-ment disaster assistance
response team, an urban search and rescue team from Fairfax, Virginia, and 45 tons of cargo. California was also sending a team of 57 urban search and rescue workers.
The United Arab Emir-ates deployed an 88-mem-ber search-and-rescue team to Nepal Sunday, and the Emirates Red Crescent also sent a team.
The Israeli military said it is sending a 260-member mission to Nepal to provide immediate search-and-res-cue help and medical aid.
surveyor and water qual-ity technician had left for Nepal on Sunday.
No time to lose: Global response to Nepal earthquake gears up
ApMembers of a German rescue organization board a plane at the airport in Frankfurt, central Germany, Sunday, April 26, 2015, for their flight to earthquake-torn Nepal. International Search and Rescue Germany says a team of 52 relief workers includ-ing doctors, experts trained in searching for people buried under rubble and several dog squads will fly to Nepal.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3: 5 ways it’s differentSANTA MONICA, Calif.
(AP) ‑ “Call of Duty: Black Ops 3” is enlisting a few new recruits.
The third installment in Treyarch’s popular mili-tary shooter saga is adding the option to play coopera-tively with other gamers in the plot-driven campaign. The developer is also ditch-ing traditional avatar cus-tomization in its multi-player mode, instead opting for players to pick among nine distinct characters, each with their own unique weapon and ability.
“We wanted it to have a little more soul to it,” said Game Director Dan Bun-ting after a recent dem-onstration. “We were talk-ing about voices and giving them personalities. It was kind of a leap of faith to say, `You’re going to pick this character who is this guy or girl, and that is the character you’re gonna be.’ That was the direction we started to explore.”
Other additions planned for the futuristic “Black Ops 3,” which is scheduled for release Nov. 6 for PlaySta-tion 4, Xbox One and PC, include the ability to swim and shoot at opponents un-derwater in the multiplayer mode, as well as analyze the
campaign’s more expansive battlefields with high-tech perspectives culled from teammates’ intel.
“With co-op players, they can be in multiple places,” said Campaign Director Jason Blundell. “In these larger environments, they can be at different heights and positions in the battle-field, so to ensure those en-gagements are just as rivet-
ing and just as cinematic, we had to create a brand-new, goal-oriented anima-tion system.”
Here’s a look at five of the biggest changes coming to Activision’s blockbuster shooter franchise:
Fantastic FourThe campaign mode has
been overhauled to encour-age re-playability with up to four available co-op players.
The levels will be more open than past “Call of Duty” ti-tles, and players will be able to customize their weapons, loadout, gender, outfit and enhancements. That cre-ativity can be shown off be-tween levels inside a new virtual safe house.
Staying PowerThe new entry follows
the events of “Black Ops II,” when drones hijacked by a
terrorist in 2025 crippled the world. In the campaign, which begins five years later, soldiers can be upgraded with about 40 cybernetic modifications, which allow players to accomplish such high-tech feats as remotely hacking enemy robots or chaining together melee strikes.
Jump Around Following the injection of
rocket-thrusting soldiers in last year’s “Call of Duty: Ad-vance Warfare,” the troops in “Black Ops 3” have sim-ilarly been granted wings. The game’s 360-degree, mo-mentum-based movement system allows multiplayer combatants to quickly grap-ple environmental surfaces, power slide across land-scapes and cling to walls.
Special SomeoneTreyarch has dubbed its
new multiplayer charac-ters “specialists.” That’s be-cause each operative comes equipped with their own personal weapon and ability outside the tried-and-true create-a-class system. For example, bow-wielding Bra-zilian Special Forces agent Outrider is outfitted with ex-plosive bolts and the power to detect nearby enemies.
Open ArmsWhile the developers
have done away with mul-tiplayer character custom-ization, they’ve greatly expanded weapon person-alization, providing play-ers with more tools to trick out munitions. The game’s guns can be equipped with an optic and up to 5 attach-ments, camouflage and user-designed paint jobs with up to 64 different lay-ers on three sides.

WASHINGTON (AP) ‑ Two secretaries of state, Tea Le-oni and Madeleine Albright, arrived arm in arm as a wide mix of Hollywood and Washington players gath-ered for the national "Nerd Prom."
The White House Corre-spondents' Association din-ner has become a celebrity magnet, this year drawing some big names from tele-vision, sports and movies to rub shoulders with mem-bers of Congress and to hear the president speak. It has grown to become one of Washington's biggest events since its smaller origins in 1914 when journalists gath-ered to push for greater ac-cess to the president.
Leoni, who plays the na-tion's chief diplomat on TV's "Madam Secretary," was part of an entourage Satur-day evening with Albright, the first female secretary of state. The two joked that they trade notes on acting. They arrived with CBS' Bob Schieffer and Leoni's TV husband, Tim Daly. But Daly claimed Albright as his own.
"She's my White House Correspondents' Dinner girlfriend," he said. "We met here, and we sat together one year, and now she's offi-cially my date, so I'm a lucky guy."
The wide array of celeb-rity guests included actors from other popular politi-cal dramas as well, includ-ing Kerry Washington and Darby Stanchfield from ABC's "Scandal." The mix of politicians, the media and Hollywood celebrities was surreal, Stanchfield said.
"I've been taking notes, actually," she said.
Alfre Woodard, who plays the president on NBC's "State of Affairs," said she enjoys hearing President Barack Obama's humor be-cause "with him, it comes out of nowhere and it's very dry, and he does have a wicked sense of humor."
Much of ABC's "Modern Family" cast also joined the party, along with would-be presidential candidate and reality TV star Donald Trump.
Recent news was also the talk of the red carpet, includ-ing the TV special where Olympic athlete Bruce Jen-ner revealed on national television that he identifies as a woman.
Laverne Cox, a transgen-der actress known for her role on "Orange is the New Black" said viewers who saw Jenner's story saw "a beauti-ful human being who cares deeply about their family, whose a parent and at 65 can no longer live a lie.
"I think that's someone everyone can relate to," Cox said. "Stepping and living into our truths is something all of us must do."
Politics was also on the mind for attendees as an-other presidential election approaches. Jane Fonda said she thinks it will be a tough campaign but that Hillary Clinton is strong, "and she can take it."
Newswoman Katie Cou-ric said she warned her hus-band the dinner would be a crazy mob scene "full of a lot of great people, a lot of self-important people, some ce-lebrities, and it's fun."
Gayle King of CBS This Morning said she doesn't understand why people call this the "nerd prom," though.
"I'm thinking `where are the nerds?'" she said. "These are people who are at the top of their game who really en-joy meeting other people. It's great."
Olympians Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, who have become popular commen-tators for NBC's Olympic coverage, joined the pea-cock network for the Wash-ington event for the first time and walked carefully on the red carpet. Lipinski said she was honored to attend, and
Weir said the entire specta-cle was "pretty amazing."
"We're just so excited to be here to celebrate being one with our media broth-ers and sisters and really celebrating the spirit of the night and the spirit of what we all do in entertaining and educating the world," Weir said.
The dinner also drew at-tention on social media, though some pointed out news networks were ignor-ing protests that turned vi-olent just 40 miles north in Baltimore where a man died in police custody.
The featured performer for the night was Cec-ily Strong from "Saturday Night Live." She poked fun at many media organiza-tions in the room, but when it came to NBC's Brian Wil-liams, she stopped short and said she had "nothing - because I work for NBC."
When he finally took the stage, Obama joked it was the night when "Washing-ton celebrates itself. Some-body's got to do it."
Later, Obama brought out comedian Keegan-Michael Key as his "anger translator" to wonder aloud why he had to be there at all.

Prescription drug addic-tion has long been a prob-lem in Appalachia. Patients with health problems or chronic pain are prescribed addictive painkillers to combat even the smallest discomfort, but are left with addictions drug companies are all too happy to supply.
Certain pharmacies have even been labeled “pill mills” for their reputation as drug suppliers, where clearly-addicted patients can refill their unnecessary
prescriptions with little to no questioning involved.
More pill use equals more profit for large drug companies, and this men-tality has unfortunately led to eleven drug distrib-utors refusing to publi-cize records of the num-ber of painkillers they’ve supplied to West Virginia pharmacies.
To be denied informa-tion detailing just how in-fluential drug companies have been in supplying
these “pill mills” is a mat-ter of public concern in all areas. Home break-ins, armed robberies and ar-rests are common with ad-dicts, which subsequently tear families apart and send countless men and women to jail for crimes they’ve committed simply to sup-ply their addiction. What’s more, tax dollars pay for these addicts’ arrests and prison stays, which need-lessly cost West Virginians more money each year.
Pharmaceutical compa-nies are likely withholding these numbers in the inter-est of keeping sensitive data from competing compa-nies, but in doing so, they’re continuing to enable the addictions of thousands.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that West Virginia has the highest mortality rate from drug overdoses in the country. With lives at stake, money should not be the primary factor in decid-ing whether these numbers
are made public or not.This editorial board feels
that making this data ac-cessible to all would spread awareness of how prevalent an issue drug addiction is around the state, and may even influence legislation to restrict what hand “pill mills” have in fostering new addictions. Funding for the creation of rehabilitation centers may also increase as well.
Addiction is a problem extending far past an ad-
dict’s first incarceration, but stays in rehab clinics have proven effective in re-ducing addicts’ return to drugs after release.
While the pharmaceuti-cal business is certainly lu-crative, it can sometimes tread into immoral terri-tory. In hopes of improving public welfare, West Virgin-ians deserve to know drug companies’ influence on the state.

It truly is a happy Monday for us seniors; unbelievably, it is our last one ever as un-dergraduates. I always knew in the back of my mind my carefree life here in Mor-gantown had an expiration date—the ominous year of 2015—but I couldn’t fathom just how quickly the time was going to fly.
That humid August day in 2011 when our entire class was herded into the Coliseum, fresh as fresh-men can be, is still vivid in my memory. It was a day of pure chaos, but I clearly re-member one proclamation from that day: “Take a good look around. This will be the first and last time that the class of 2015 will be together as one.” It was a surreal mo-ment, and I recall getting chills without knowing why.
That day four years ago may be the last time we were all contained in one place, but the truth is we’ve been intertwined as one since the day we arrived in Morgantown. Together, we clobbered onto the bus outside of Towers to go to Shooters, Rain and Cellar. We clinked red solo cups at tailgates, losing our voices from screaming “Cheers, beers and Mountaineers” too many times to count. We sang our hearts out to “Country Roads” downtown
at midnight and danced to “Wagon Wheel” at the old Mutt’s.
We rushed by each other in the library, scrambling to print papers two min-utes before class. We “re-sponded” to each other’s discussion boards on eCam-pus and met in the library to freak out about group proj-ects. We’ve trudged to class in freezing sleet and snow, lamenting how people have to legitimately cross-coun-try ski to get to campus.
Together, we crammed onto the PRT, requested our
football tickets last-minute, argued with bouncers who didn’t believe our fake IDs were real, and flagged down trucks to hop in the back.
Our class experienced a different atmosphere in Morgantown in 2011-2012 many freshmen will never be able to understand. Sun-nyside was a whole differ-ent world, one in which we ventured with a squad of ten other kids from our dorms every weekend. House par-ties were jam-packed with kids spilling out of houses vibrating with a mix of
throwbacks and “Levels,” “Wild Ones,” “Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay,” and who knows what else.
The spring semester of 2012 was uncharacteris-tically hot and absolutely beautiful, and we all know St. Patrick’s Day of that year will go down in infamy.
The day started at eight in the morning and what can only be described as abso-lute insanity ensued for the next sixteen hours. I’ll never forget my entire freshmen floor gathering in one room to watch the airing of “I’m
Schmacked,” absolutely terrified we’d see the evi-dence of our shenanigans and pausing and screaming when we recognized some-one. It was a year of Hyper-glow, Kap Slap and “Buck-wild” airing on MTV.
There may be thousands of us in the class of 2015, and we may not all know each other by name. Many of us know each other in a com-plex web of connections and crossed paths–that guy who you always see at Jimmy John’s at 2 a.m., the girl you hug in the bathroom of Joe
Mama’s, the boy who is al-ways in your lecture halls. People may think West Vir-ginia University is a huge school, but they don’t re-alize the rare and unbreak-able kinship that each and every Mountaineer shares.
We’ve brought each other comfort while break-ing down in the library dur-ing finals week, deliriously laughing at the dumbest stuff after realizing it’s been eight hours since we started studying. We’ve rejoiced to-gether in the sweet relief and joy of a sunny week-end in a college town where there is an unspoken agree-ment that all responsibilities will be relegated to a later date. Sunshine in Morgan-town is an absolutely beau-tiful thing.
To all my fellow class-mates, and especially my fellow graduating seniors, you have played the big-gest role in my experience at WVU. The times we spent together will be cherished in my memory forever. We might not know what lies ahead for us after school, but we can take comfort in the fact we at least made one amazing decision thus far in our lives in becoming Mountaineers. The thought of graduation is sad at times, but I will never truly feel alone out in the real world knowing I’ll always be in-explicably connected to my fellow Mountaineers.

Are you about to embark on an internship abroad? This can be very exciting, and definitely nerve wracking, and with so much going on you might not know where to start or how to spend your time.
So here are a few tips on how to survive being abroad (which can definitely be a lit-tle daunting at first) and how to make the most of your time while you are there.
1. Learn the language.If you are going some-
where where they speak something other than Eng-lish, make it your goal to learn the native language! The best way to learn a lan-guage is to go to a country where that language is spo-
ken. If you surround yourself with English speakers, you’ll use them as a crutch and won’t learn as much as you would have if you were just thrown into the city alone and had to fend for yourself with your foreign language skills.
Make it a point to mingle with some locals, maybe take a language class or two, and really give it your best effort while you are there. Learning other languages is like gain-ing a super power, and will be a wonderful souvenir to take home.
2. Keep a travel journal.Considering how busy
you’ll be with your intern-ship and random touristing, it might be a fun idea to keep a travel journal and log all of your fun experiences. It’s easy to forget the little things, and they account for such great stories later, so it’s defi-
nitely fun to remember them.3. Keep memories of
home.Even if you are having a
wonderful time abroad, be-coming homesick is bound to happen. Keeping pic-tures of your friends and family around will help, and also make sure to Skype/call them when you can. It’s also fun to post your pictures on Facebook so people can comment on your adven-tures, know what you are up to, and offer you support and good wishes.
4. Learn the rules.Different places have dif-
ferent rules, and you defi-nitely wouldn’t want to be doing something you didn’t know was wrong. When a cop pulls us over in the States, we are supposed to wait in the car for the officer to come to us.
In other places of the
world, people are expected to get out of the car without being told. Let’s hope you won’t get pulled over, but it’s good to know some general rules there so you know what is expected of you.
5. Get a travel guide.New places can get rather
scary because of how big and confusing they are. A travel guide in your backpack is a must. In there, you’ll learn where all the touristy stuff is, as well as hotels if you needed to stay the night, in-formation about the city that could be important to you later, and places to eat if you have been walking for a while and just can’t wait anymore. There are tons of additions so look for one that best suits your needs.
6. Stay with a host family.A host family will help you
out a lot, especially if there is a language barrier. They’ll
be able to show you around, help you get accustomed to the new culture, and fill you in on their way of life. You’ll get a whole different per-spective if you live with a family instead of by yourself, so I’d really encourage you to look into it.
7. Don’t give up.
There are times where you are really going to want to go back home in the beginning. This happens, so don’t worry! Just give it time. If you’re like me and hate change, it will take you a bit to get adjusted, but I promise it will be worth it to stick it out.
Happy traveling!

Friends of Deckers Creek raise money for environmentChelsea walker
A&E writEr @dAilyAthEnAEum
Friends of Deckers Creek (FODC) officially said sayo-nara to Old Man Winter on Friday, April 24, as the or-ganization hosted its ninth annual Spring Meltdown to raise funds for its environ-mental efforts within the Morgantown area.
Bustling with splendid music, superb food and spectacular gifts, FODC’s Spring Meltdown had Mor-gantown Brewing Com-pany filled to capacity with locals and students looking to support the nonprofit.
Founded in 1995 by a group of kayakers, rock climbers and others who enjoy the outdoors, FODC began as a group effort to monitor water quality and curb illegal dumping. By 1997, the group began re-ceiving small grants and recognition, boosting its support in the community. And by 2000, FODC was recognized as a nonprofit organization. FODC, with its seven active treatment facilities, recruits commu-nity members and local youth to aid in monitoring water quality and clean-ups within the watershed habitats.
The organization’s Youth Action Board (YAB) con-sists of adolescents ages 12 to 18 interested in tak-ing action against the toxic waste and pollution in the Deckers Creek watershed. The organization utilizes various student groups through WVU, where it gains volunteers majoring
in anything from fisheries and wildlife to communica-tions and marketing.
Michael Crane, a junior strategic communications student in the Reed College of Media has been working with FODC over the course of the semester. Crane said he has been drafting press releases and compiling in-formation about FODC to advocate its work to the public. He said although he had never heard of FODC before working with them through his WVU course, he was more than happy to assist in promoting the or-ganization’s environmental governing.
Through a silent and live auction, the Spring Melt-down paired with local businesses to prepare gift donations to bid on and raffle. Proceeds from the high-energy event support the FODC’s hiring of an AmeriCorps VISTA, a Vol-unteer in Service for Amer-ica, to assist the group in its labors from the office to the outdoors.
Community stakehold-ers from Black Bear Bur-ritos, Gary’s Comics and Pathfinder all donated prizes for the silent auction. Patagonia apparel, tickets to Mountain Stage and in-novative Eno Hammocks
were just a few of the gifts up for grabs. The live auc-tion allowed attendees to bid on prints from local art-ists and various other prod-ucts designed for outdoor enthusiasts.
Hometown artists Greg Short and the Josh Arthurs Band graced the stage Fri-day night, playing nostal-gic tunes. Short provided a Morgantown favorite, strumming up John Den-ver’s “Country Roads,” while the Josh Arthurs Band played classics like Pink Floyd’s “Wish U Were Here” and James Taylor’s “Carolina in My Mind.”
Nikki Hoffman, a Mor-
gantown local and long-time companion of the Josh Arthurs Band, came out to support not only her friends, but FODC as well.
“The event is for a great cause. It’s very interest-ing, the amount of things they have in the silent auc-tion,” Hoffman said. “The bands are really great, so it’s awesome.”
Hoffman’s involve-ment with various other city organizations like the Woodburn Redevelop-ment Commission and The Neighborhood Coordinat-ing Council was where she first heard of FODC and its
environmental activism. Hoffman feels that with
the amount of new indus-tries coming into the Mor-gantown area, an estab-lishment such as FODC is needed to counter the en-vironmental impact.
“I think just having a sense of community and togetherness helps with the community aspect, but also having a specific organiza-tion that’s involved with the environmental aspect by preserving Morgantown is great,” Hoffman said.
Suzanne Moore, exec-utive director of FODC, said the organization re-lies heavily on community outreach to raise awareness about the pollution within Deckers Creek, where some of the most affected zones cut through more heavily populated areas of Morgan-town. Moore said events like the Spring Meltdown and numerous other out-reach events, like the 10K Deckers Dash, helps raise major funds and awareness for FODC.
“It’s just a time where we can all get together, listen to some great music, have some good beer and bid on auction stuff that benefits a healthy Deckers Creek,” Moore said. “The commu-nity support that we get is fantastic. It’s always great to see the way the community rallies for the importance of clean water and the im-portance of what we’re try-ing to do.”

Mumford & Sons, Zac Brown Band’s ‘Jekyll + Hyde’ & Ciara’s ‘Jackie’by Caitlin worrell
A&E Editor @dAilyAthEnAEum
Zac Brown Band-“Jekyll + Hyde”Country music fans won’t have to wait another minute. Zac Brown and his band of hard strumming outlaws are set
to release their fourth studio album, “Jekyll + Hyde.” The record comes at an interesting time for the country genre that has seen a bit of a plateau in new material. The creative stall throughout the industry has had country fans lethargic and yearning for fresh, new sound. “Jekyll + Hyde” is the perfect pick me up that drops just in time for summer for an ailing genre and hungry music lovers. The album, which adopts a classic country aesthetic, gives soothing highs and lows for a refreshing listening journey. “Homegrown,” the album’s lead single, is an easy, southern rocking hit. Zac Brown sings of his hometown roots as the band effortlessly pairs the pick of a banjo with the strum of a soft acoustic guitar. Though lead singer Brown regards the album as “a little bit of everything,” music lovers can be assured of the band’s usual south-ern outlaw charm. Other hits on the album include, “Loving You Easy,” and “Dress Blues” which both stray away from the Zac Brown Band’s typical country tune. “Jekyll + Hyde” will be available for download tomorrow.

Ciara-“Jackie”Whether it’s her ultra sexy dance moves or her sultry voice, Ciara has been a force to be reckoned with in the R&B in-
dustry for years. Her sixth studio album “Jackie,” is expected to break her slow-vibe mold and explore the pop side of the veteran urban artist. This is the first album since the birth of her child and her public breakup with rapper Future, which could be the reason for “Jackie’s” musical shift. Titled after her mother, Ciara drew inspiration from her personal life as creative fuel for her new lyrics. Her lead single “I Bet,” which also features T.I., showcases Ciara’s familiar R&B style with a twist. The chorus follows a catchy, club-inspired beat, straying away from her typical seductive slow jams. Ciara gives fans even more variety with two exclusive remixes of the song on the album. The first version, crafted by artist R3hab, turns the crossover hit into a full-blown club anthem. R3hab adds heavy bass drops and battling synthesizers to create a fast-paced listening experience. “I Bet” also gets an overhaul with artist Joe Jonas. The track gets a pop-inspired re-vamp by the ex-boy band member, showing that everyone has a wild side. “Jackie” will be available for download May 4.

Mumford & Sons-“Wilder Mind”After rattling a few feathers with the release of their single “Believe,” Mumford & Sons have their work cut out for
them with the remainder of their album. “Wilder Mind” is definitely a wilder take on the group’s classic indie folk fash-ion. After eliminating a banjo completely from the new album, Mumford & Sons is seemingly unrecognizable for listen-ers yearning for the twangy flair. Some are digging the change though, as fans get to see a more alternative side to the multi-faceted musical ensemble. “Wilder Side” follows a somber, slow pace, giving the album an overall darker feel. Tracks such as “Snake Eyes” and “Believe” are deep and spacey, creating a build-ing tension on the album. Harder rocking tracks like “The Wolf” highlight Marcus Mumford’s vocal strength while showing off the group’s new electronic style. “Wilder Side” is a leap of faith for the famous folk group, but may have fallen short of fan’s expectations. The album is expected to officially drop May 4.

Google executive confirmed dead in Nepal quakeNEW YORK (AP) — Dan
Fredinburg, a Google exec-utive who described him-self as an adventurer, was among the hundreds who died in a massive earth-quake that struck Nepal on Saturday.
Google confirmed his death. Lawrence You, the company’s director of pri-vacy, posted online that Fredinburg was in Nepal with three other Google e m p l oy e e s c l i m b i n g Mount Everest. The other three, he added, are safe.
Google would not give further details. According
to the technology blog Re/Code, Fredinburg was an experienced climber who co-founded, in his spare time, Google Adventure. The project aims to “trans-late the Google Street View concept into extreme, ex-otic locations like the summit of Mount Everest or the Great Barrier Reef off Australia,” according to Startup Grind, a global startup community.
Fredinburg also helped start Save the Ice, an orga-nization dedicated to rais-ing awareness about global warming “through adven-
turous campaigns and events around the world,” according to its website.
Fredinburg started at Google in 2007. He served as product manager and the head of privacy at Google X, the company’s secretive arm best known for “moonshot” projects such as the self-driving car.
Google said it has launched a “person finder” tool for Nepal to help peo-ple find loved ones in the aftermath of the quake and “is working to get up-dated satellite imagery to aid in the recovery effort.”
Google says it is com-mitting $1 million to the quake response.
The actress Sophia Bush, who has appeared in photos with Fredin-burg posted by entertain-ment outlets, called him “one-of-a-kind” in a post on Instagram.
“A dancing robot who liked to ride dinosaurs and chase the sun and en-vision a better future for the world. His brain knew how to build it,” she wrote. “His heart was constantly evolving to push himself to make it so.”

ing a matter in your head that revolves around your personal life. Tonight: Sort through invitations, then choose.
pIScES (FEB. 19-MARch 20) HHHHH
You could be overwhelmed by every-thing that is happening around you. Your words, though well-intended, might fall flat. Verbalize the same state-ment in different ways until you make some headway. Clear out as much as you can. Tonight: Return calls, then decide.

Needing to grab some conference momentum in a critical Big 12 series with the Kansas Jayhawks this weekend, the West Virginia University baseball team instead lost two of three at home to slide further down the conference standings.
The Mountaineers lost 3-1 and 9-5 Friday and Sat-urday at the Monongalia County Ballpark, squan-dering their chance to get rolling against the Big 12’s last-place team.
Despite the dismal dis-play in the first two games, however, West Virginia fought back to salvage a win on Sunday afternoon, winning 5-4 after go-ing down 4-0 early in the game.
“We lost the first two games of the series and they throw a four-spot up in the second and you’re thinking ‘OK, come on Mountaineers, don’t give up,’” said Mountaineer head coach Randy Mazey after Sunday’s game.
“We talked about it af-ter yesterday’s game and
before today’s game that sometimes in baseball, things don’t go your way and you get tested. That happens in life, too. It was a great time to prac-tice how to respond to adversity.”
West Virginia started the weekend with fresh-man righthander BJ My-ers on the hill Friday night against Kansas southpaw Ben Krauth. Although the Mountaineers struck first on an RBI double by first baseman Jackson Cramer, Myers surrendered the lead in the fifth, balking in the lead run.
Once Kansas had the lead, they didn’t look back. Krauth was dominant, lim-iting the Mountaineers to just the one unearned run on three hits in 6.1 innings, and sophomore Stephen Villines closed the home side out for a 3-1 Jayhawk win.
While Friday’s game was a low-scoring pitch-er’s duel, Saturday was a slugfest that saw the two teams combine for five home runs. West Virginia’s Ross Vance was touched up for five unearned runs in the first inning, after
two Mountaineer errors and a three-run homer by Jayhawk designated hitter Marcus Wheeler.
WVU managed to claw back in the middle innings, making it a 5-3 game after home runs by Cramer and right fielder Shaun Wood, but any hopes of a full Mountaineer comeback were dashed in the ninth inning, when Kansas ral-lied for four runs off fresh-man Conner Dotson to put the game out of reach.
Although Cramer and Wood each added their second homers of the day in the bottom of the ninth, it wasn’t enough and West Virginia fell 9-5, ensuring a series loss to a team that came into the weekend holding down last place in the Big 12.
“We went through a spell a few weeks ago where we were playing re-ally well and things were going well,” Mazey said after Saturday’s game. “Now we’re on the other side where we’re not play-ing all that well. That just happens in baseball over a long season.”
Down 4-0 early, Shaun Wood got West Virginia on
the board in the bottom half of the second with his seventh home run of the season, combining with his performance the day before to give him round-trippers in three straight at-bats.
Shortstop Taylor Mun-den did the rest, making it a one-run game on a two-RBI single before giving the Mountaineers the lead with his team-high 10th homer of the year, a two-run blast to make it 5-4 Mountaineers in the sev-enth inning.
Although Sunday starter Chad Donato struggled to navigate a tight strike zone early on in the final game of the series, giving up four runs in the second in-ning, the sophomore right-hander settled down and pitched into the eighth.
“It came down to who really wanted it today,” Do-nato said. “We came out with a lot more energy and aggression, and the bats were swinging. I didn’t have my stuff today, I got squeezed a lot for probably the whole game, but I just fought back and believed in my defense.”
With the home series
loss, the Mountaineers fall to 24-17, with a 6-9 record in conference play. West Virginia will next be in ac-tion with a pair of midweek road games, facing Mar-shall Tuesday and Radford
Wednesday, leading into a weekend Big 12 series against fifth-ranked TCU at the Monongalia County Ballpark.

For the first time since Nov. 20, 2014, fans entered the gates of Milan Puskar Stadium to watch football. Eager to see what the 2015 season could have in store for West Virginia football, Mountaineer faithfuls witnessed a strong defen-sive preview, but little-to-no offense at the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game.
The defense won the game in a scoring system that includes points for
defensive stops and turn-overs, 42-10.
Quarterback Skyler Howard led the way in passing with 121 yards, de-spite only completing 9-22 passes. Opposing Howard at the quarterback posi-tion, William Crest Jr. to-taled 31 yards on three passes, but also added 31 receiving yards and 16 rushing yards, as he was tried out at several differ-ent positions.
“He’s one of our better football players,” said head coach Dana Holgorsen. “A lot of this is what spring
football is all about–the ability to experiment with different people at dif-ferent things. I think we would all agree that he’s a pretty good football player, so we’re going to continue to do things and figure out what he does best.”
Another anticipated po-sitional battle was at run-ning back, as the Moun-taineers boast four players who could take the start-ing role.
Juniors Rushel Shell and Wendell Smallwood didn’t suit up for the game, as Holgorsen wanted to give
the incoming freshmen, Donte Thomas-Williams and David Sills, some ac-tion in the backfield.
Williams led the way for the ground attack, finish-ing with 87 yards, while Sills finished with 71, in-cluding a 26-yard play.
Jacky Marcellus, who is listed as a wide receiver for the Mountaineers, had 12 carries, 47 yards and the offense’s only touchdown.
Defensively, the Moun-taineers had a lot about which to be happy, as they forced four turnovers, and recorded 11 negative yard-
age plays and three sacks.Junior lineman Larry
Jefferson registered two of the sacks, while soph-omore linebacker Xavier Preston had the third.
Jefferson, Preston and Nana Kyeremeh each fin-ished with a team-high five total tackles on the day, while six defensive regulars didn’t suit up.
Following the game, Holgorsen indicated he’s expecting a big year from Preston, and that his per-formance only further re-inforced his prediction.
“I like our senior line-
backers, but they better watch number 53,” he said. “Xavier Preston might be our best defensive foot-ball player at this point in time.”
Holgorsen also stressed the competition at ev-ery position is still in full swing, and no player has a secured position.
“There’s competition everywhere,” he said. “(At) every position, we got sec-ond-team guys that are go-ing to be fighting for reps.”

volleyball
Sunahara ready to get it going at WVU
by nicole cUrtinsports editor
@nicolec_WVU
Summer break is quickly approaching, and it will be plenty of time for new West Virginia volleyball head coach, Reed Suna-hara to ready the team for next season.
Sunahara met with the media last week for the first time since he was hired in March.
“I like our progress, and the girls are working hard,” he said. “They’re adjust-ing to me, I’m adjusting to them, and we’re trying to build a good culture in the gym.”
Four big-name play-ers left West Virginia af-ter former head coach Jill Kramer resigned, and Su-nahara said there is room
to add two, three or four more girls. It is late in the year for recruitment, but the majority of the roster is still filled with players, and most of them had playing time last year.
Jordan Anderson, Nikki Attea, Lamprini Konstan-tinidou and Anna Panag-iotakopoulos all left the team. On the other hand, strong players such as Hannah Sackett, Brittany Sample, Hannah Shreve, Melvina Brown and Gi-anna Gotterba remain.
“It’s always hard to re-place good players, but there’s a lot of players out there. The hardest thing is experience,” Sunahara said in reference to los-ing Anderson and Attea. “It’s hard to replace expe-rience. Once we get set-tled in and have a system,
we can get players like that and even better.”
Last season, Gotterba split time with Panagio-takopoulos as libero and gained experience playing against the teams WVU faces every year such as Texas, Kansas and Okla-homa. Brown, Sackett and Shreve also had time on the court. Sackett, a crit-ical part of Kramer’s puz-zle last season, will return as a senior. Shreve missed a few early games last sea-son due to injury, but her blocking at the net and powerful serve are some-thing Sunahara can use very well.
The upside to coming in as a new coach and hav-ing 11 girls on the roster is that they already know each other and their own strengths and weaknesses
on the court.“I think we have talent.
It’s there–we’ve just got to get better kids,” Sunahara said. “As a coach, you al-ways want better kids, so we’re working hard to re-cruit and bring kids in that we want to bring in. I thought Jill (Kramer) did a good job recruiting, and we’ve just got to make sure we build off that. I like what we have–we’re going to utilize what we have as much as we can and make the best of it.”
Sunahara added a new assistant coach in Rebecca Rudnick from Liberty Uni-versity. Rudnick was a star for the Lady Flames during her collegiate career and then began coaching there in 2011.
Kevin Carroll remains on the staff as an assistant
coach. He has been work-ing with the Mountaineers since June 2013, and all of the girls on the team right now have been practicing and playing under his as-sistance since then.
“It’s a learning pro-cess,” Sunahara said about the spring season. “The spring is a good time for me to learn. For me be-ing a new coach here, it’s time to see what we have, so we’re going to use what we saw in the spring.”
The next couple of months leaves time for Coach Sunahara and his staff to recruit a couple more players to fill the ros-ter and get ready for sum-mer practices before class resumes in August.

Distance medley relay team takes firstby Dj DeSkinS
sports Writer @dailyathenaeUm
The West Virginia Uni-versity women’s track and field team completed the 120th Penn Relays Friday in Philadelphia after two days of competition.
WVU participated in its fifth-straight Penn Relays, the third-largest track meet in the world, after compet-ing in the University of Vir-ginia’s Virginia Challenge last weekend.
“Penn Relays is always a highlight for our track and field team,” said head coach Sean Cleary. “Having the opportunity to compete in front of 50,000 people is, for some, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
On day one of the re-lays, the Mountaineers had strong showings from sev-eral of their top athletes.
“We were expecting a very competitive dis-tance medley relay team, and some individual per-formances that stack up
against the nation’s best teams,” Cleary said. “At this point of the season, we are really trying to establish ourselves at a level that will help prepare for the Big 12 Championships.”
In the high jump, both Marsielle McBeam and Hannah Stone participated. McBeam placed 29th over-all while Stone finished in 33rd, each clearing the 1.60-meter mark.
In the 5,000-meter run, Savanna Plombon crossed the line at 16:48.96, two sec-onds off of her career-best time. Her efforts earned her eighth place in the event.
Katlyn Shelar also fin-ished in the Top 10 for the pole vault after being ab-sent from Cleary’s lineup for the past month with a wrist injury. Her 3.80-meter leap earned her sixth place.
WVU also featured Re-nee Maisonneuve in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Her time of 10:59.73 earned her 20th overall.
Late Thursday night, the Mountaineers’ distance
medley relay team earned first place with a time of 11:40.54. The group of Kelly Williams, Christa D’Egidio, Brianna Kerekes and Amy Cashin beat out second-place Maryland by only two seconds.
“The distance medley re-lay was a positive moment
for the girls. It’s always fun to win a race and for that we are pleased,” Cleary said. “While we ran well in the event, I believe we still have a lot more to offer.”
On day two, the lone Mountaineer to compete was freshman Shamoya McNeil, who qualified for
the finals in the triple jump. Over the past three week-ends, she has set two career-best marks in the event. However, she was unable to continue her streak of first place finishes this weekend when she placed sixth over-all with a 12.38-meter leap.
“Our hope is that Sham-oya is named to the All-Big 12 team again in outdoors and punches a ticket to the first round of the NCAA Championships,” Cleary said. “I feel both are realis-tic goals.”
WVU didn’t feature all of its top performers, how-ever, leaving some in Mor-gantown to prepare for the team’s coming events.
“Some of our long-dis-tance runners took the weekend off to train,” Cleary said. “They have their NCAA qualifying marks and will continue to prepare for the championships.”
The Mountaineers take on the Jesse Owens Track Classic next weekend in Co-lumbus, Ohio. This will be the final event for the Big 12 Outdoor Championships, at Iowa State University, and the NCAA Qualifiers.

Donato fights through rough start to save series

With his team on the verge of being swept at home, West Virginia start-ing pitcher Chad Donato got off to a shaky start Sun-day, but bounced back in the middle innings and helped spur the Moun-taineers on to a 5-4 victory against Kansas.
After getting through the top of the first inning with no trouble, Donato found himself in hot water in the top of the second.
Three straight singles loaded the bases to start
the inning, and after a lin-eout by designated hit-ter Steve Goldstein, Do-nato issued back-to-back walks that gave Kansas a 2-0 lead.
The damage was in-creased when second baseman Justin Prot-acio and left fielder Con-nor McKay each singled in runs, and the Jayhawks found themselves with a 4-0 lead and well on their way to a road sweep.
“Chad is really good…We tell our guys all the time, our hitters, when you’re facing a good, qual-ity starting pitcher, the time to get him is early–
before he settles in,” said head coach Randy Mazey.
The Jayhawks did just that, but West Virginia’s offense picked Donato up with three runs in the bot-tom half of the second to keep the game tight. Do-nato said that response by his offense gave him the confidence to keep plug-ging away.
“It gave me a lot of con-fidence. I was a little wor-ried out there, but the bats helped me…getting a cou-ple runs to get us back in the game. It definitely re-lieved a lot of pressure,” he said.
With home plate um-
pire Darin Stiers calling a tight strike zone in the early going, Donato was forced to adjust. He over-came his early command problems, put trust in his defense and found a way to work through 7.2 in-nings while giving up four runs on eight hits and four walks.
“I felt comfortable with the defense behind me. They started making some good plays. I wasn’t just trying to strike everyone out. If I miss, they’re going to hit it, but my defense is there to back me up,” Do-nato said.
After putting up five
consecutive zeros from the third through the sev-enth inning, Donato got another lift from his of-fense when short stop Tay-lor Munden connected for a two-run home run over the left field wall that gave West Virginia its eventually decisive 5-4 advantage.
“I was the first one out to dap (Munden) up. That was big. That’s a team player right there and it was a game changer; just what we needed,” Donato said.
Following their second loss to Kansas to start the series, Donato said the players stuck around at the
ballpark Saturday night to have a talk about collect-ing themselves for a late-season run. The results showed Sunday afternoon.
“We had a big talk (Sat-urday) night as a team, just the players. It came down to who really wanted it to-day, and we came out with a lot more energy,” Donato said.
“I got squeezed a lot, for probably the whole game, but I just fought back and believed in my defense…It’s great having confidence in your run support.”
Last week an edito-rial ran in our newspaper about the Sports Informa-tion Directors, or SIDs, that represent the athletic department for West Vir-ginia University.
For those who do not know what that job en-tails, it includes several responsibilities including, but not limited to, writ-ing and posting press re-leases for their assigned teams, traveling to away games or tournaments to be able to post those up-dates as well as live tweet-ing, and dealing with the media.
These Associate Direc-tors of Athletic Commu-nications work tirelessly to get things done for the teams they represent and have always worked hard
for the writers on the sports staff at the Daily Athenaeum.
There are a few things that I would like to point out about the editorial. One: The sports staff did not write or contribute to the article, and we did not read it before it was printed. Two: After read-ing it, I have acknowl-edged the factual inaccu-racies, as well as part of the reason behind it being written.
For the sake of transpar-ency, I would like to ex-plain these things to our readers and other fans that pick up the sports section, as well as apologize to the SIDs office.
We receive all kinds of feedback from students, readers and others that they want us to cover the smaller programs, aka the varsity sports, on campus. These teams don’t bring in revenue like football or
men’s basketball do, but they are still University Di-vision I teams — my refer-encing them as a “small” sport does not dimin-ish their validity or com-petition in intercollegiate athletics.
Believe me, I would like to cover the small sports as well. At the moment, we do not have the staff, and we haven’t all year, to give these teams proper coverage.
Almost all of our writers are working on two differ-ent beats, and we are all students as well, so they have a full plate. It can be difficult to keep people in positions of writing for the rowing team or women’s track when we constantly have people coming and going from the section.
We hire our writers and trust them to do their job and contact the SIDs ac-cordingly, and it has come to our attention that some
haven’t followed through on that. Until recently though, they were telling us that they couldn’t get an interview for this or that reason, and blaming the SIDs.
Of course, then if a story drops, we, as editors, aren’t going to be happy, and I believe the frustra-tion on our side was that we thought SIDs weren’t getting back to people in time.
There were instances when a couple of different people in the department took extremely long to re-spond to us via email and did make things a little dif-ficult for some of our writ-ers and editors at times.
One of the paragraphs in the editorial states that the gymnastics coaches came to our open house and helped build a great relationship. Yes, they did come to the open house and yes, we have a great
working relationship with them, but the coaches do not have to come to our open house for us to have a good relationship with them.
The SID for gymnas-tics has worked with sev-eral of us on the staff for years and always kept us up to date, although it was cool to have the coaches come by.
Another statement said that the University funds the athletic department, so they should have a moral obligation to be more in-viting to the community. The University doesn’t pay for anything in athletics.
Scholarships come from the Mountaineer Athletic Club, which supports all 18 varsity sports. Money that revenue sports collect is used for those sports, and while there may be years of loss instead of profit, the University still isn’t dish-ing out money to them.
The DA is not the only media outlet that covers smaller teams at WVU. WVU News has at least four sports reporters per semester covering all kinds of sports.
The Dominion Post cov-ers all the teams, includ-ing the smaller programs, and we’ve all seen their reporters at all kinds of games. Also, the school’s radio station, U92, has a great set up with teams at WVU — especially hockey, baseball and women’s basketball.
We take pride in the op-portunities we are given here at the DA to cover West Virginia on all bases, including the “smaller” sports. The only thing our section can do now is prove ourselves right and reach for a higher standard. Our students, staff and readers deserve it.
