Starting this upcoming school year, West Virginia University students can be-gin purchasing food from off-campus eateries with their Mountie Bounty.

Student Government As-sociation Governor Julie Merow has been working on this initiative since she ran

for SGA in spring 2014, and just last week she received confirmation that her hard work had paid off.

“So many other schools have this and we want WVU to be on the same level,” Merow said.

According to Merow, there has been strong sup-port on the business side of this project as well as the stu-dent and University side.

“We didn’t have to con-

tact the businesses, some businesses in Morgantown had called the Mountain Card Office before to see if it was possible. The demand was there from the business side,” Merow said.

Throughout the whole process, Merow has been working with the Moun-taineer Card Services to en-sure everything is taken care of and the system can start working as soon as possible.

Two months ago Merow sent out packets to local ven-dors to explain the process to them and tell them how to be involved. While Merow is hopeful Mountie Bounty will start being accepted at businesses like Panera, CVS and McDonald’s come the fall semester, she believes it is too soon to say for certain.

If one were to visit the Mountainlair in the late morning last Friday, they would assume it was business as usual: A mostly empty building with a few sum-mer school students petering in and out to grab lunch. By noon, however, the Mountainlair became as crowded and active as ever thanks to West Virginia University’s New Student Orientation program.

Each summer, thousands of soon-to-be WVU students are able to visit cam-pus to learn about and take in their future surroundings thanks to the ori-entation program.

“I’ve learned a lot of really cool stuff, like how all the systems work,” said Owen Harris, an undecided freshman student. “I met some really interesting people that I’ll be in a dorm with and everything.”

More than 200 students are booked for orientation each weekday in June, learn-ing about housing, advising, scheduling

and a variety of student organizations.“It’s a really big sports school and that

got me into it,” said Danielle Williams, a freshman forensic and investigative sci-ence student. “I’m looking forward to all of the sports.”

Williams had already signed up for the Mountaineer Maniacs.

While orientation is focused mostly on academics and housing, the experi-ence also gives new students a chance to get a feel for Morgantown as a whole.

“I like the community,” said Ryan Sta-

For most, San Diego in June presents the oppor-tunity for an ideal sum-mer vacation with its golden shores and peren-nially sunny skies, but for Virginian Frank Fumich ,the county was just the first stop on his 3,000 mile journey back to the eastern United States.

Fumich, a West Virginia University alumnus, is a competitor in the 34th an-nual Race Across America, a harrowing cycling race that began Tuesday in the military city of Oceanside, California and will con-clude 12 grueling days later in Annapolis, Maryland.

Throughout the 12 days, cyclists will cross just as many states while rac-ing against the clock to make it to the finish line in time. They will cycle over 170,000 vertical feet, equivalent to four ascents of Mount Everest.

“Cycling is kind of my Achilles heel of sports,” Fumich said. “My anxiety level is basically a 100 on a scale of one to 10.”

In his 17 years as an en-durance athlete and ad-venturer Fumich has never competed in an en-durance cycling race, opt-ing instead for endurance running. After the Boston Bombing in 2013, Fumich ran three back-to-back marathons to raise money for the victims, then ran from Arlington to Boston to deliver the $78,000 his efforts produced.

Fumich says he ex-pects RAAM to be one of the hardest feats of his life,

but is determined to finish strong, not for himself but for the man he is racing for, Ryan Diviney.

“I’m doing this because Ryan can’t,” Fumich wrote on his Facebook page. “Ev-ery time I want to quit I’m going to think of that. Ev-ery peddle stroke I make is one peddle Ryan isn’t able to do, every rain storm I go through is one Ryan won’t get to experience… and even the pain and discom-fort is at least LIVING and he can’t have any of that.”

Diviney was a WVU stu-dent when five and a half years ago a physical al-tercation left the then 20-year-old sophomore hospital bound in a vege-tative state of conscious-ness. Since the incident, Diviney’s family has stayed by his side, paying up to $2 million dollars in hospital fees annually, according to Fumich.

“There’s a lot of things not covered by insurance,” Fumich said.

Fumich named his fun-draiser “RAAM for Ryan” and hopes cycling RAAM in Diviney’s name will not only raise money to assist the family with their med-ical bills, but also keep Di-viney’s story relevant and noteworthy to the public. As of Tuesday, Fumich has raised $32,000 in Diviney’s name.

“There were so many similarities between Ryan and I at that age,” Fumich said, explaining why he felt so strongly for Divin-ey’s story.

According to Fumich, both him and Diviney

McDowell CHOICES, a program started by the West Virginia University College of Physical Activity and Sports Sciences just re-ceived a one year continua-tion grant from the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture.

The program was origi-nally created with a $204,000 grant from the Highmark Foundation. This grant al-

lowed McDowell CHOICES to create and implement strategies that let students receive the 60 minutes of physical activity recom-mended daily.

The program’s recently re-ceived USDA grant will en-able McDowell CHOICES to continue its efforts in in-creasing physical activity in McDowell County.

Eloise Elliott, WVU dis-tinguished professor, elabo-rated on the benefits of the USDA grant.

“The grant from the USDA that we are currently imple-menting has a greater focus on getting families involved in physical activity with their children in after school pro-grams,” Elliott said.

According to Sean Bulger, CPASS associate profes-sor, McDowell County has a number of health dipar-tites. It is believed that this program will help alleviate some of the health concerns caused by unhealthy lifestyle choices.

“We took a look at it from a need and an asset stand-point,” Bulger said. “(We want) to create additional opportunities for children and adolescents, for them to be active during and after school.”

Elliot believes the pro-gram can help build strong partnerships within McDow-ell County schools and local communities as well as in-crease the number of healthy lifestyle choices made within school settings.

“We chose McDowell County because of the com-mitment from the school system, the communities and the Reconnecting Mc-Dowell Initiative in making physical activity and health promotion a priority,” Elliott said.

According to Elliot, the program took into consider-ation the voices of the chil-dren and the types of phys-ical activities the children would be interested in when creating the program.

Some after school ac-tivities offered to children through this program in-clude Zumba, archery and the video game Dance Dance Revolution. These activities, in addition to others, are of-fered to students before, dur-ing and after school hours.

“We listened to the stu-dents’ voices in telling us what they wanted us to do,” Elliott said. “It’s important

that (the children) have ad-ditional opportunities in the school settings so they can reach the recommended 60 minutes.”

Bulger said based on the program’s positive feed-back from both students and McDowell County res-idents, he sees this pro-gram continuing in the future.

“We envision this as a long-term partnership with

the schools down there,” Bulger said. “There’s a lot of interest not only from stu-dents but from communi-ties as well.”

According to Bulger, data collected from McDowell CHOICES shows positive lifestyle changes, including increased activity among students.

“(The program) is looking forward to seeing what can be accomplished in a long term time frame,” Bulger said.

The program previously provided funding for three after school programs at each

school in McDowell County. Over $5,000 was provided per school for physical edu-cation class equipment, fit-ness program upgrades and professional development for physical education and classroom teachers.

McDowell CHOICES will continue through Septem-ber 2015. The program will continue to focus on increas-ing healthy lifestyle choices as well as offering physical opportunities within the McDowell County school settings.

came from Northern Vir-ginia, both attended WVU, and they both hailed from similar families.

“I realized just how easily this could have happened to me at that age, and now that I have kids I see what it could feel like as a parent,”

Fumich said. “I just want to help any way that I can.”

While Fumich is inspired and determined to finish RAAM, he is realistic about the obstacles ruling against him.

“Honestly I think I’ve got a 50/50 chance in even fin-ishing. So many things can go wrong,” Fumich said. “I just want to finish for Ryan.”

Fumich will be expected to cycle at least 20 hours

and 250 miles a day, endur-ing temperatures more than 100 degrees to finish a cy-cling race that is longer than the Tour De France and over in roughly half the time.

According to Fumich, not only has his family and Di-viney’s family been support-ive of his endeavor, but so has the entire Mountaineer family.

“All Mountaineers think we’re the greatest and every

Mountaineer wants to stick together. Everybody is so ex-cited to help,” Fumich said. “This shows what a great community the Mountain Nation is.”

Throughout his training process, which sometimes lasted 15 hours a day, Fu-mich updated the public on

his preparations for RAAM while reminding them of the reason he is racing. He called for people to donate to Diviney by sharing links on social media.

“If this cause hits people in the heart like it did for me, I encourage people to donate. It really can help,”

Fumich said.For live coverage of the

chura, a freshman petroleum engineering student. “With-out this college, the town would be a regular town, but the college has made it so much more.”

An important cog in the program’s machine is the University’s roster of orienta-tion leaders, current students who work with the thou-sands of incoming freshmen and parents. Holly Long is

one of the dozens of orien-tation leaders helping bring in new students this summer.

“I got an email from some-one in my department about it and I thought ‘That sounds kind of fun!’ so I applied,” Long said. “I have never had a more fun job. I like meeting all the new faces and being friends with all of the other orientation leaders and see-ing all of these new excited freshmen come in and expe-rience all of these things that we already have.”

While Long said she pri-marily worked with par-ents, she still spoke at length

with 15 to 20 students per day. She said the most com-monly asked questions from students were “Where’s the bathroom?” and “What do I do next?”

Orientation will continue through June, showing more than a thousand new stu-dents per week how beauti-ful the campus, town and the state as a whole really are.

“I’ve always been a fan,” Harris said. “Ever since I re-member, I’ve always wanted to come here, and now I’m living the dream!”

“Hopefully there won’t be any problems. The busi-nesses really want to be on board with this and I don’t know why the card office would be against it,” Merow said.

According to Merow, while these businesses have done everything necessary to be a part of the project, there are still some calls to be made.

Merow said buying food from off-campus vendors with Mountie Bounty will

work just like buying food in the Mountainlair with Mountie Bounty. They swipe the student ID card and that is it.

“I think businesses see that it’s going to bring more students into their busi-nesses and make more money for them,” Merow said. “There are a lot of op-tions available on campus but I know sometimes stu-dents get tired of the food in the Mountainlair.”

Merow believes the op-tion of paying with Mountie Bounty will appeal to parents of students as well.

“Parents like Mountie Bounty because they can

control what it is spent on,” Merow said. “If you’re not on campus but you don’t want to spend your own money you can use your Mountie Bounty. It’s a really conve-nient option.”

This is the third time someone has tried to make this possible, according Merow, but she is very con-fident this will be the last.

“As a part of SGA I feel like I’ve done a lot of easy, simple things before, but I feel like this is the thing that is actu-ally going to really help stu-dents,” Merow said. “I’m very excited for this.”

six killed in california balcony collapse during a party

BeRKeLey, Calif. (aP) — A 21st-birthday party thrown by a group of visiting Irish college students turned tragic early Tuesday when the fifth-floor balcony they were crammed onto col-lapsed with a sharp crack, spilling them about 50 feet onto the pavement. Six peo-ple were killed and seven se-riously injured.

Police and fire and build-ing officials were working to figure out why the small balcony broke loose from the stucco apartment house a couple of blocks from the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. But one structural engineer said it may have been overloaded if, as city officials said, it was holding 13 people.

High school student Jason Biswas’ family nearby was awakened by the noise.

“They thought there was an earthquake, but then we looked out the window and saw seven or eight people on the ground,” the 16-year-old said. “There were piles of blood everywhere.”

Five of the dead were 21-year-olds from Ireland who were in the country on so-called J-1 visas that en-able young people to work and travel in the U.S. over the

summer, while the sixth vic-tim was from California, au-thorities said.

The accident brought an outpouring of grief in Ire-land from the prime minister on down, with the country’s consul general in San Fran-cisco calling it a “national tragedy.”

Police had gotten a com-plaint about a loud party in the apartment about an hour before the accident but had not yet arrived when the metal-rail balcony gave way just after 12:30 a.m., spokes-man Byron White said. It landed on the fourth-floor balcony just beneath it, leav-ing the pavement strewn with rubble and the red plas-tic cups that are practically standard at college parties.

“I just heard a bang and a lot of shouting,” said Dan Sul-livan, a 21-year-old student from Ireland who was asleep in the five-story building. Mark Neville, another Irish student in the building, said: “I walked out and I saw rub-ble on the street and a bunch of Irish students crying.”

The U.S. government’s J-1 program brings 100,000 col-lege students to this coun-try every year, many of them landing jobs at resorts, sum-mer camps and other at-

tractions. The San Francisco Bay area is especially popu-lar with Irish students, about 700 of whom are working and playing here this summer, ac-cording to Ireland’s Consul General Philip Grant. Many work at Fisherman’s Wharf and other tourist sites.

Sinead Loftus, 21, who at-tends Trinity College Dublin and is living this summer in a different apartment in Berke-ley, said Berkeley is “the Irish hub.” In fact, she said, “I’ve heard people complain there are too many people from Ireland here.”

“It’s student-friendly, it’s warm and it’s a lot cheaper than San Francisco,” she said.

Investigators will look at such things as whether the balcony was built to code, whether it was overloaded and whether rain or other weather weakened it, said Kevin Moore, chairman of the structural standards committee of the Structural Engineers Association of California.

Berkeley officials said the building code would have re-quired the balcony to hold at least 60 pounds per square foot. Its exact dimensions were not released, but Grace Kang, a structural engineer and spokeswoman for Pacific

Earthquake Engineering Re-search Center at Berkeley, said it looked to her to be 4 by 6 feet, or 24 square feet. That would mean it was sup-posed to hold at least 1,440 pounds.

She said it appeared small for the crowd that had ap-parently gathered on it, Kang said.

“They were packed like sardines, and then they were moving,” Kang said. When people “are moving about a lot or dancing, that impact load may further exacerbate” the strain.

Also, the apartment house appeared to have been wood-frame construction, and the balcony was canti-levered out from the build-ing, with no additional sup-port beneath. Both can make a balcony more vulnerable to dry rot and weathering in general, Kang said.

In the meantime, city in-spectors barred use of the building’s other balconies while they are checked for safety.

The Library Gardens apartment complex, com-pleted in 2007, is in a lively part of downtown Berke-ley close to the campus and is a popular place for stu-dents to live. Several tenants

reached by telephone said it is well-maintained.

Berkeley Police Chief Mi-chael Neeham said the re-sponse to the noise com-plaint had been given a lower priority after police received a call of shots fired elsewhere.

The building is owned by BlackRock, the largest as-set management fund in the U.S., according to city offi-cials, and managed by Grey-star Management, whose website says it operates more than 400,000 units in the U.S. and abroad.

In a statement, Greystar extended condolences to the victims’ families and added: “The safety of our residents is our highest priority and we will be working with an in-dependent structural engi-neer and local authorities to determine the cause of the accident.”

On the closed street be-low, a shrine was growing: flowers, a pack of cigarettes, a Cal Berkeley banner, con-dolence notes. Victims’ rel-atives were expected to be-gin arriving from Ireland on Tuesday night.

The dead were identi-fied as Ashley Donohoe, 22, of Rohnert Park, California, and Ireland’s Olivia Burke,

Eoghan Culligan, Niccolai Schuster, Lorcan Miller and Eimear Walsh. The Irish stu-dents attended various col-leges in Dublin.

“My heart breaks for the parents who lost children this morning, and I can only imagine the fear in the hearts of other parents whose chil-dren are in California this summer as they seek to con-tact them now,” Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny told lawmakers in Dublin.

“It is truly terrible to have such a serious and sad inci-dent take place at the begin-ning of a summer of adven-ture and opportunity for so many young people on J-1 vi-sas in the U.S.”

A 2010 Associated Press investigation of the J-1 pro-gram and the companies that arrange the visits found that many students paid thou-sands of dollars to come to the U.S., only to learn the jobs they were promised didn’t exist. Some had to share beds in crowded houses or filthy apartments.

Following the investiga-tion, the State Department tightened its rules governing participating businesses.

ApPolice and officials stand outside of the Library Gardens apartment complex, where a fourth floor balcony rests on the balcony below after collapsing in Berkeley, Calif., Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Berkeley police say several people are dead and others injured after a balcony fell shortly before 1 a.m., near the University of California, Berkeley.

Local Morgantown art-ists are fortunate to have an affordable quality re-cording and music editing service not far from home with Nicco Catalano of NeekAttack Productions. Catalano has been work-ing with rappers, pop sing-ers, R&B artists and full bands since he moved to Morgantown in 2013 to en-roll at West Virginia Uni-versity. Catalano is a mu-sician and a finance major, so starting his own music business seemed like a no-brainer. Since then he has helped record, mix and master hundreds of songs for over thirty different artists.

Catalano started work-ing with home recording in 2009, when he was a member of a rock band in his hometown of Wheel-ing, W.Va. As a freshman in high school, Catalano and bandmates struggled to pay for time in a profes-sional studio but wanted to have physical copies of their music for friends and fans. So they dove head-first into recording them-selves, where Catalano found he had an ear for de-tail in mixing—being able to pick out the conflicting frequencies in a song at first listen.

Later, as the band went their separate ways, Cata-

lano continued to pursue his love of making music by working with a hand-ful of rappers from the Morgantown area. During this early period, he was not making money for his services, but was instead gaining invaluable experi-ence and skills that would later make him more qual-ified in this field.

NeekAttack’s current setup consists of an iMac desktop computer that runs Logic Pro X with ex-ternal Waves plug-ins, connected to an exter-nal compressor, FireWire interface,and finally an industry standard micro-phone. He also uses studio monitors in order to get a more full-bodied sound when examining a mix. All of this equipment was mainly funded by the rev-enue Catalano has accu-mulated over the past two years servicing artists.

When he first got to Morgantown, he needed to find clients so that he could grow his business. Catalano said most of his first artists were referred to him via word of mouth, with friends referring him to local rappers, as well. These artists helped pro-mote NeekAttack Produc-tions as a brand, spark-ing more artists to get in touch with Catalano. By his sophomore year of college, Catalano was re-cording artists or mixing their songs virtually every

day. The key to his growth has been in his rates and charisma.

“The biggest thing is my pricing. I do $30 an hour, but you get a finalized product from that. Profes-sional studios charge by the hour but also charge a lot for mixing and mas-tering,” Catalano said. “I’m very personable with all the people I work with - I give honest opinions and feedback.”

This information can be attested to, as one of NeekAttack’s frequent re-cording artists Chris Al-len has nothing but posi-tive things to say about his musical engineer.

“Nicco knows his art-ists. He knows the sound we want just as much as we do. He knows what we will think sounds good,” Allen said. “There is ton of chemistry on a musical level between us. Then, he’s just cool. We have be-come actually pretty good friends, so everything is perfect right now.”

But Catalano doesn’t think he has even scratched the surface of the music business, as he plans to legitimize his company. He also hopes to establish products that would make home record-ing easier and more en-joyable for amateur art-ists. Catalano is constantly teaching himself more and more about mixing and recording music, reading

books and watching on-line tutorials on how to use the hardware and soft-ware to their highest po-tential. His biggest con-cern is making the music quality as good as that of a professional studio.

“When I mix a song, I want to make sure the av-erage ear thinks it is just another song they bought on iTunes,”Catalano said. For more information on NeekAttack Productions, visit http://neekattack.com. Information can also be found on the company’s Twitter and Soundcloud.

High Street is littered with local restaurants and pubs. From pizza to burri-tos, there are a million op-tions for anyone looking for a hot meal. However, there is a new style of cuisine here in Morgantown. Opening this past winter, Soul Broth-ers, the new soul food res-taurant, opened their doors on Walnut Street. Offering all kinds of delicious soul food, Soul Brothers offers downtown Morgantown a unique cuisine for a cheap price.

Opening their doors on February 1, 2015, Soul Brothers has immediately become the new place to grab dinner or a late snack on a night out on the town. Located next to Fourth and Goal, Soul Brothers is lo-cated in the old Sandwich U storefront. Owners Mark Kammer and Ray Glymph’s goal is to bring your mom-ma’s cooking right here to Morgantown.

“We bring a unique take on things you don’t see in Morgantown,” Kammer said. “It is a fast paced busi-ness. It doesn’t matter how busy we are. In ten minutes, you will get your food.”

Soul Brothers offers a di-verse menu. Fried chicken, deep-fried appetizers ; you name it, Soul Broth-ers makes it. The mac and cheese, cornbread, shrimp, wings and ribs are deli-cious, however, the real

treat is the Southern fa-vorite, po’ boys. Made with catfish, chicken, shrimp or pork, Soul Brothers is the only place in town offering the yummy, authentic Lou-isiana cuisine. To top off

any meal, carnival favorites such as deep fried oreos, cheesecake and cookies grace the desert menu.

“The most popular menu item is the chicken and waffles,” Kammer said.

“Over the past few weeks, we have gotten a new menu. It is continuously revolving.”

The other perk of Soul Brothers is the fairly priced food. Most meals cost any-

where from seven to nine dollars and offer whopping portions. The homemade sides are only a couple of dollars, ideal for broke col-lege students.

“I loved Soul Brothers. I

am a cook and I always have high expectations for food,” said WVU senior Nick Bar-beau. “The popcorn shrimp po’ boy was awesome and surprisingly cheap.”

Kammer and Glymph purposely cater to college students by offering low prices.

“Our food is priced rea-sonably,” Kammer said. “You are getting a full meal for ten dollars. Ribs are the only thing over ten dollars but you are getting a pound of ribs and a side.”

Soul Brothers offers a large dining area, as well as a delivery service. Open late into the night, WVU students and local com-munity members now have the option for order-ing soul food that is deliv-ered straight to their door.

“I ordered my food and it came about thirty minutes later, which is not too bad for a delivery driver,” Bar-beau said.

Although they have fu-ture plans, Soul Brothers plans to stay on Walnut Street for the long haul.

“We are both young,” Kammer said. “This is not the last Soul Brothers. Right now we are perfect-ing the trade. We plan to stay here awhile. In a year or two, Walnut Street will be a much more prominent street.”

Arts Monongahela, the organization who runs a nonprofit art gallery lo-cated on High Street, held an exhibit opening Fri-day, June 12 for black-smith and metal artist Zac Campbell. His work was scattered around the gallery, all for sale, with beautiful pieces rang-ing in sizes from a trinket that could fit in a pocket, to a two-foot standalone candlestick.

Greeting everyone as they walked in was Arts Mo n o n g a h e l a p re s i -dent, Charlie Sims. A very friendly individual, he handled all sales of Camp-bell’s work as well as pro-moting the gallery and dis-cussing art in general with patrons. He said the or-ganization’s plan has al-ways been to further art in the area and promote lo-cal talent in both art and

music. “The original intent was

we wanted to advance the arts up and down the river…multi-county,” Sims said.

Arts Mon holds monthly live concerts, paint and sips, and adds many cre-

ative opportunities for the community to con-nect itself with the me-dium of physical art. At the Zac Campbell exhibit, Sims was intently trying to communicate with specta-tors so they would feel like their opinion was impor-

tant. They were all given the chance to write out or speak ideas on how to de-velop Arts Mon and to de-scribe what they felt peo-ple would want to see or experience.

Though the gallery opening was an incredi-

ble chance for the public to view his work, he ad-mits to truly thriving in his workshop.

“I just want to keep building, displaying is cool but I want to be in the ga-rage,” Campbell said.

Campbell started do-ing metalwork when he was 16, as his brother and father were professional welders. He started just doing practical welding, before he began imagin-ing the metal becoming something more. The in-fectious art bug had bitten Campbell. In 2003, Camp-bell built his first piece - an abstract standalone sculpture.

“I see it sitting there in front of me, I build what I see…your hands have to catch up with your head,” Campbell said.

Campbell loves to chal-lenge himself with his work. It seems simple to just heat the piece of metal you are working with and

then hammer it into the shape desired, but Camp-bell prefers to work with the natural curves of the metal when creating his abstract work. Some ex-amples of this were on display—roses with con-voluted stems, herons with crooked legs, and fish jumping out of the water twisting their scales freely.

There was beer and wa-ter on ice for any spectator who walked through the door, as well as a donation box for Arts Monongahela to support a continued presence in downtown Morgantown.

Sims encourages all art-ists to contact Arts Mon online if they are inter-ested in opening an ex-hibit there. Information on upcoming events and gallery openings can be found on their website or the Arts Mon Facebook page.

Rachel Dolezal, the NAACP chapter president who was recently revealed to be a white woman mas-querading as African Amer-ican, is ridiculous. While I don’t think Dolezal’s in-tentions harbored any ill will, what she did is a little more than disrespectful and frankly it’s just plain stupid. Many have cited this inci-dent, saying “how far will identity politics go?” us-ing a line of reasoning fre-

quently called the slippery slope argument. These argu-ments, which some call fal-lacies, tend to state some-thing along the lines of “if X is made normal/legalized what’s to stop Y?” with X be-ing a concept or lifestyle re-cently accepted by most of society, and Y being the ex-act opposite.

It’s easy to see the flaw in this reasoning, especially when X is usually something like gay marriage and Y is something ludicrous like pedophilia. However, with cases like Dolezal, it be-comes easier for others to see this slippery slope in re-

gards to identities. With this case being so close behind transgender woman Caitlyn Jenner’s rise to fame, many might say “If we can change genders, why not races?” While that line of logic may seem to follow, hear me out on why Dolezal’s strange race case draws a clear line in the sand and makes the slippery slope more like a steep staircase.

Obviously Dolezal will have her supporters. No matter where you go, there will be someone, some-where, who will agree with you. However, these people are a fraction that pales in

comparison to the amount of people who see this for what it really is: An iso-lated case of identity insan-ity. However, what separates “trans-racial” from the more accepted transgender? It’s a matter of brain chemistry.

Whether or not you be-lieve that gender is entirely a social construct, psychology and neurology tell us defini-tively that men and women are wired differently. With that in mind, it’s easy to see how someone may be wired much like the oppo-site gender, and thus iden-tify with said gender. How-ever, race is almost purely

superficial. Sure, there are some minute differences in bone density, sensitivity to sunlight, and muscle mass here and there, but there’s nothing that separates the races mentally. Differences in philosophy and thought processes can often be at-tributed to culture and eth-nicity, but not race.

So, while Dolezal may be a rallying point for people to claim identity politics is overstepping its bounds, her situation and the attention surrounding it also serve as a good point of reference as to just how far we as a soci-ety will let people go. Race

and gender may be some-thing you’re born with, and you may feel that you’re in the wrong gender, but feel-ing like you’re in the wrong race? While in theory it may be harmless to try and accli-mate oneself to a different culture or ethnicity, race is something that simply can-not change, and the reac-tion to Dolezal shows us this isn’t going to change any time soon. Perhaps if you feel that you’re born into the wrong race, you should re-think some other things be-sides your skin color.

Society’s limits on identity politics: The slippery slope argument

Four American tour-ists were arrested several weeks ago for stripping on a mountaintop in Malaysia deemed sacred by the lo-cals. When an earthquake struck the area the follow-ing week and killed eigh-teen people, Malaysian of-ficials detained the tourists at the airport and will likely charge them with public ob-scenity, claiming their pres-ence angered the spirits who reside in the mountain and caused the earthquake.

The Internet has ex-ploded in recent contro-versy over the validity of a country arresting tour-ists over an issue as bizarre and unrealistic as spiri-tual discord. With the rise of the secular worldview in most parts of the developed world, it’s no surprise why this response has been so common among the read-ers of online news sources. However, the situation re-

quires a bit of empathy and tolerant thinking in order to understand why the tourists were entirely in the wrong, not the Malaysian people detaining them.

This isn’t the first time American tourists have been taken into custody for disrespecting property of significant value in other

countries. Two California women were arrested in March for carving graffiti into the walls of Rome’s Col-osseum and faced prison sentences for the crime. Their offense on the surface may seem quite different than the incident in Malay-sia, but the two have a num-ber of similarities.

While the Colosseum isn’t sacred in a spiritual sense, it’s considered a trea-sured and ancient space by people around the world, and signs are posted around the site to deter the kind of behavior tourists are un-fortunately known far and wide for participating in. The women were regarded

as acting stupidly and out of line by nearly everyone who came across their story, as it’s common sense to not leave crude, impulsive marks on historical build-ings in general.

The tourists in Malaysia acted similarly on a moun-tain of equal importance to the local people, and were even notified of the sacred quality of the mountain by their guide before disrobing. However, the rest of the de-veloped world doesn’t ap-pear to recognize the in-fluence of local spirits as being reason enough to de-tain tourists from leaving the country. Laws should never be made on the ba-sis of spiritual presence or divine involvement, but it’s still incredibly important to honor local customs and treat them with respect, no matter where you are in the world.

To question whether the mountain actually harbors spirits or not misses the point entirely. Think about it: If the tables were turned, Americans likely wouldn’t

want to see people from other countries stripping in a church or synagogue just because the tourists didn’t regard our spiritual customs with the same kind of im-portance and respect as we do. I don’t believe the tour-ists in Malaysia set out with the intent to disrespect the local people with their ac-tions, but unawareness or ignorance of a culture can be just as destructive as any blatant act of defilement.

Regardless of what is “true” or not from a reli-gious standpoint, customs are customs, and learning to honor them correctly is a crucial part of becom-ing a more empathetic and understanding human be-ing overall. This group of tourists has unfortunately given the rest of the world an image of an arrogant, egocentric America, but fu-ture tourists would do well to learn from their mistakes when traveling and repre-sent this country in a more positive manner.

OITNB helps shed light on major issues in US prison system

Chances are good that you have seen the Inter-net or even your circle of friends abuzz over the newly released season of Orange Is the New Black. Perhaps you’ve even binge-watched the show your-self. Most shows about the criminal justice sys-tem have the main focus of solving crime and locking up the bad guys respon-sible. Orange Is the New Black, however, is quite the departure from this point of view, choosing in-stead to focus on life inside prison and the ways people deal with it. While enter-taining, Orange Is the New Black does have a way of making one think critically about the prison system.

The show itself is an ad-aptation of author Piper Kerman’s memoir Orange Is the New Black: My Year

in a Women’s Prison. Priv-ileged and well-educated, Kerman is hardly the type one would easily guess to be an ex-convict. Her expe-rience in prison led her to write the book and become an advocate for prison sys-tem reform. Even though the show itself is a fiction-alized account of Kerman’s real-life incarceration for a 10-year-old drug offense, the important themes of the book still make their way onto the screen.

Orange Is the New Black hosts a diverse cast of characters that gives view-ers a glimpse into the re-ality of prison life. How-ever, the women housed in the show’s Litchfield Pen-itentiary are hardly rep-resentative of the United States’ prison population. Most people incarcerated on American soil are men,

and an overwhelmingly large number of those pris-oners are Black or Latino. The annual cost of keeping these people imprisoned is a whopping $74 billion, money that would proba-bly be better spent improv-ing communities where people feel the need to re-sort to criminal activity.

Orange Is the New Black takes the viewer behind the walls of Litchfield Pen-itentiary and into the lives of its inmates, whose sto-ries are similar to those of many of America’s 2.2 million inmates. A large number of inmates are so-cioeconomically disadvan-taged, their lifelong lack of education and opportu-nity driving them into the gaping maw of the criminal justice system. Also pres-ent are people who would be much better off in insti-

tutions that are not pris-ons, such as people who are struggling with addic-tion or serious mental ill-ness. The people suffering from these afflictions re-quire different resources that prisons often lack and they should be dealt with accordingly.

The United States incar-cerates more citizens than any other nation, and by no small margin. But why is the prison population in the United States so stag-geringly high? The answer is not an easy one, with many contributing factors. Now more than ever, more people are doing time and with mandatory minimum sentencing, those con-victed often receive lon-ger sentences than they would in the past. Even people with nonviolent of-fenses are serving more

time. Because there is a lack of

support for people upon re-lease, it is also very easy to end up back in prison after their time is done. Ex-cons with nowhere to go have a hard time finding pub-lic housing that will accept people with a criminal re-cord. Also difficult is find-ing a decent job, due partly to a lack of job training pro-grams that allow prisoners to better themselves and partly due to employers be-ing unwilling to hire con-victed felons. With no way to obtain a job or housing, people may feel the need to resort to criminal activ-ity once again in order to survive. The prison sys-tem does very little to en-courage growth or to make offenders see the true re-percussions of their crime, instead focusing on mak-

ing people feel as if they lack any sort of agency.

Of course, these are all very big problems to tackle, but now that Orange Is the New Black has caused so many people to think about the prison system and the people affected by it in a new way, it is possible to start a conversation about how we can do things bet-ter than we have been do-ing them. The show itself does not glorify the crimes committed by the char-acters and it doesn’t even portray the characters as good or bad, just as peo-ple. This editorial board believes by entertain-ing viewers in a thought-ful manner, Orange Is the New Black humanizes the stories of American prison-ers in a way no article can.

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT | 5Wednesday June 17, 2015

There’s a certain stigma that goes along with the tireless reincarnation of cer-tain movie franchises. Lest we all forget the train wreck that was “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.” Despite the fact that certain block-buster classics are better remembered than remas-tered, the world still ea-gerly awaited the release of Jurassic World. It didn’t disappoint.

Although revamped with a little more CGI, “Jurassic World” kept to the same principles as its past mov-ies. We see the corporate big guy who forgets that these gentle giants have feelings too. We also see the person who originally hates kids, but ends up loving them. They’re quickly reminded of what life was like before they got to be so jaded. These are a just a handful of the life lessons placed through-out the film, proving this isn’t your typical dinosaur movie.

“Jurassic World” brought to the table something not even fans could have pre-

dicted: Laughter. With new inventive characters who always have something witty to add, it was strange to think how the audience was overcome with laughter rather than fear. And with a guest cameo from Jimmy Fallon, this movie is full of funny tidbits for all types of Jurassic fans.

When considering giv-ing this oldie a new chance, don’t let history steer you wrong. “Jurassic World” is a classic effortlessly re-told. Everyone wants to see the dream get bigger. With Jurassic Park now Juras-sic World, the environment takes on a new touristy aes-thetic, resembling some-thing along the lines of Uni-versal Studios. Being able to recreate dinosaurs is no lon-ger as impressive as it used to be, so mad scientists be-come deeply fascinated with making their little miracles into war-waging beasts. With more gore than previ-ous films, the death count for this movie is strikingly high.

But storyline and setting aside, the cast truly deliv-ers. Chris Pratt, who plays some kind of velocirap-tor trainer, teaches us the

importance of friendship. Whether among dinosaurs or his red headed corporate love interest played by Bryce Dallas Howard, Pratt’s char-acter embodies the true es-sence of loyalty and love. With the film showcasing constant power struggles between humans and di-nosaurs, older brothers and younger brothers, or good

versus evil, the movie cou-ples unpredictability with the same classic tale we know and love.

Now, that’s not to say the monsters haven’t changed. You can’t have a dinosaur movie without big players like the ferocious T-Rex. But all the added gene splic-ing could have made the movie a bit too science-fic-

tion heavy. But, filmmakers avoided crossing this line.

With the creation of a new evil species that hunts cute long-necked dinosaurs for sport, the movie has a way of pulling on one’s heartstrings. Fans’ emotions were espe-cially on edge in the scene in which a brachiosaurus is taking its last few breaths in Chris Pratt’s arms. There’s

this strange moment where the creature has this helpless expression. I think it was try-ing to convey to Pratt’s char-acter that it’s all about sur-vival of the fittest. It is this combination of action, emo-tion and a little light-heart-edness that makes this fran-chise so memorable.

Everybody Is Going To Heaven by Citizen

Taking a rather large de-parture from their debut style, the Ohio/Michigan pop-punk band Citizen gets very grim on their new LP. Their second album, ironically titled Everybody Is Going To Heaven, is due to release Tuesday, June 23. Fortunately for me and other fans of the group, their label Run For Cover Records elected to pri-vately stream the album on Soundcloud June 9.

The first two singles, “Cement” and “Stain,” had given me a slight picture of this album as very grungy and harsh, with deep and overpowering bass lines. This grim hum is accompa-nied by minor chords and dead notes behind lead vo-

calist Matt Kerekes’s hurt words and pained wail. Kerekes showed a lot of vo-cal diversity on this record, continuing to showcase his punk singing while also dipping into some forced screams on “Stain.” He even incorporated a bit of mumbling through songs like “Ten.” The album is certainly reminiscent of early Nirvana in its struc-ture, with lyrical focus on loneliness, unworthiness, and falling deeper into the shadows of life.

There are breaks from the brutal speed of the al-bum with acoustic num-bers and interludes to-ward the end of songs, which helps the record flow smoother. My initial opinion was that this al-bum was going to be too brooding and unsettling for my taste, but as I con-tinued listening I found myself relating to many of

the themes present in the music both instrumen-tally and lyrically. I am fi-nally confident enough to say that Everybody Is Go-ing To Heaven will have its own place in my June playlist.

The Fool by Ryn Weaver You’d be a fool not to

think Ryn Weaver is the next indie-pop sensation. In August of 2014, she re-leased a single onto Sound-cloud, “Octahate.” The song was co-written with Charli XCX and boasted a team of big name producers, including Benny Blanco, EDM artist Cashmere Cat, and the band Passion Pit. The song instantly blew up, getting noticed and recog-nized by several popular artists before peaking at number three on Billboard charts. From there she has only continued going up.

With her new album The Fool, which was released

on June 15, she has con-tinued to show her pop in-genuity and further herself from the pack. Throughout the album, I heard many different sounds and loops being used in the instru-mentals, which added full-ness and depth to the pro-duction. The vocals still fell nicely into the mix though, and nothing was lost.

Weaver’s songs on her new record The Fool fea-ture simple but elegant catchy beats, which blend pop and wavy dance mu-sic that will stick in your head for many weeks. There is one acoustic song on the album, “Travel-ing Song,” and it is a very pleasant reprieve from the bass kicks and synth pads of the rest of the al-bum. It also is allowed Weaver’s bird-like voice to shine. Give it a chance, and The Fool could become a cheerful soundtrack to

your equally uplifting summer.

Grand Romantic by Nate Ruess

Nate Ruess’s debut solo album is exactly what it tells us it will be; grand and romantic. After the inter-national success of Fun.’s 2012 album Some Nights, Nate Ruess has decided to pursue a solo career.

Grand Romantic was re-leased on June 16 after sev-eral preceding singles, the most notable being “Noth-ing Without Love.” This track is an upbeat, piano man pop song. Ruess does a lot of similar lyrical and vocal work to Some Nights, with layers of reverb and harmonies coinciding with hints of distorted spo-ken word. But the produc-tion on Grand Romantic is much more electronic, with a lot of effects being put on the many instru-ments used to give them

a more unique and mod-ern feel.

Ruess shows off his range on every song from start to finish in a pleasant mix of ballads and pop an-thems, proving once again that he is one of the most stand-out male vocalists of this generation. I hear a 21st century reincarna-tion of Freddie Mercury in some songs, especially his collaboration with rocker Beck on “What This World Is Coming To.” Ruess also sticks to his usual style of crooning over piano about chasing love and overcom-ing his fears and pain on songs like “It Only Gets Much Worse” and “Grand Romantic.” It is a special al-bum with both happy and sad extremes and a lot of beautiful notes from the golden vocal box of Nate Ruess.

UM and Panic are the perfect pairchelsea walker

a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

Rhythm, rhymes, blues and a touch of psyche-delic rock concoct the unorthodox sounds that g e n e ra t e s A m e r i c a n rock band Widespread Panic.

Just as its name indi-cates, the group’s style in-corporates ‘widespread’ musical influences from jazz, blues, southern-rock to funk.

Widespread Panic’s era began 27 years ago, when band members John Bell, a singer well known as J.B, a bass playing fiend Dave Schools and a guitarist Mi-chael Houser, nicknamed “Panic” for his anxiety spells, began collaborat-ing jams in the Athens, Ga., area. The group, in dire need of a drummer, found luck when they met Todd Nance and Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz. After play-ing in small venues within the Athens music scene, Widespread Panic’s groovy aesthetic landed them in the studio of Landslide Records, where their de-but album, “Space Wran-gler” was born in 1988. Adding one more musi-cal funk fanatic, Panic’s lineup was officially set when the group added keyboardist John “JoJo” Hermann.

Panic wasted no time

recruiting the likes of de-voted music fans with their stellar sets. The group released nine stu-dio albums, sold out more concerts at Red Rock Am-phitheater in Golden, Colo., and was headlining nearly every major U.S. music festival over the fol-lowing two decades, set-ting the jam band scene ablaze.

In 2002, tragedy struck the band when Houser was diagnosed with pan-creatic cancer. His death on August 10, 2002 left the band in shambles. It wasn’t until 2006 when Bell recruited old time friend and wicked guitarist Jimmy Herring, who was no stranger to the onstage limelight. Herring’s past, streaked with a loaded re-sume, had the musician on stage with greats such as The Allman Brothers Band, Derek Trucks Band and The Other Ones, a band that hosted the “core four” members of the Grateful Dead. Her-ring’s inclusion propelled Panic into a rejuvenated and renewed state, adding a layer of vintage twang and soul resonating from the strings of his sizzling guitar.

On its Summer 2015 Tour, the jam band that combines an array of genres hopes to keep its “sunnyside up” and its “dirty side down” as they

take the stage in Pitts-burgh, Pa.

With special guests Umphrey’s McGee, Wide-spread Panic will have no trouble prepping the crowd for a rocking night of music. Umphrey’s Mc-Gee combines progres-sive rock with jam band sets to create the ultimate rock n’ roll genre. Band members Brenden Bayl-iss, Jake Cinninger, Joel Cummins, Andy Farag, Kris Myers and Ryan Sta-sik have 17 years of on-stage craftiness, playing more than 100 concerts every year. Umphrey’s jams have a genre of their own known as “progres-sive improvisation,” as the group meshes many un-dertones of the jam band scene like bands such as Phish while also incorpo-rating funk rock mostly accustomed to old school bands Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. Umphrey’s is known for its brilliant light show through the duration of its shows, making for an impressive live music ex-perience combined with lengthy set lists as well as ravishing guitar and drum solos.

Widespread Panic and Umphrey’s McGee will jam on at Pittsburgh’s Stage AE Sunday, June 21. For more information visit, http://widespreadpanic.com/.

The Major League Base-ball First-Year Player Draft comprises three days, 40 rounds, and over 1,000 players being selected. By the third day, teams are just searching for di-amonds in the rough – players from Puerto Rico, obscure NAIA schools and, this year, two play-ers from Randy Mazey’s West Virginia Mountaineer squad.

Junior relief pitcher Blake Smith became the first Mountaineer taken

early on Day 3, going in the 24th round to the Wash-ington Nationals, while starting shortstop Taylor Munden was selected by the Miami Marlins in the 27th round.

In addition, the Cincin-nati Reds drafted Connor Bennett, a righthanded pitcher from Buford, Ga., who has committed to play his college ball at West Virginia, in the 34th round.

Smith, a junior, will have until July 17 to de-cide whether to sign with Washington or return to West Virginia for his senior season. If Bennett chooses

not to sign, he won’t be able to enter the draft for another three years.

A 6-foot-5 righthander from Tyler, Texas, Smith transferred to West Vir-ginia after two seasons at Howard College. Although head coach Randy Mazey struggled at times to find a consistent formula out of the bullpen, the hard-throwing Smith turned in a strong season as West Vir-ginia’s closer, saving five games with a 3.64 ERA and 38 strikeouts.

“It’s something I have been working towards for a long time now,” Smith said in an interview with

WVUSports.com. “I don’t think this would

have happened if I hadn’t decided to come to WVU and for that I am grateful.”

Me a nw h i l e, Tay l o r Munden’s senior sea-son was nothing short of a stunning success. Af-ter spending his fresh-man year at a military col-lege in Alabama, Munden flashed a great glove but a subpar bat in his first two years with the Mountain-eers, hitting .206 in 2013 and .261 with little pop in 2014.

This year, Munden came out of nowhere to lead the Big 12 with 11 home runs,

after hitting just three in his first two seasons com-bined. Munden also made headlines with the glove, once earning the No. 1 play on SportsCenter with a dazzling no-look flip to second.

“I am so appreciative of this,” Munden said. “I have worked very hard for this my whole life and it is a dream come true. I want to thank my coaches for making the player I am to-day and I hope I can carry everything over to my pro career.”

Munden earned All-Big 12 Second Team hon-ors this season. The short-

stop signed his contract with the Marlins on Sun-day, and will most likely begin his pro career in the Rookie Level Gulf Coast League.

This year’s draft class was far from equaling the school record mark set last season, when West Vir-ginia produced six play-ers who were taken in the MLB Draft. There are 14 former Mountaineers currently in professional baseball, including Major Leaguers Jedd Gyorko and David Carpenter.

In a league known for up-tempo offenses and high scoring shootouts, having a true gunslinger at the quarterback po-sition is absolutely nec-essary to keep up in the Big 12.

While you can get by with a ground and pound philos-ophy in other conferences, you’re going to need a quar-terback whose skill set goes beyond the three-step drop and play action fake in this league.

With a preseason Heis-man candidate in Trevone Boykin leading the pack and a slew of young talent throughout the rest of the league, here’s how the Big 12’s top-five quarterbacks stack up heading into the 2015 season.

1. Trevone Boykin – Se-nior, TCU

Just a year removed from being a wide re-ceiver, Boykin got his chance at the quarter-back position for TCU under new offensive coor-dinators Sonny Cumbie and Doug Meachem in 2014. He took the opportunity and ran with it, spearheading one of the best offensive attacks in the country and leading the Horned Frogs to a 12-1 season mark. With most of his offensive weapons returning this sea-son, Boykin will have room

to grow in his last season in Fort Worth and could lead the way to a College F o o t b a l l P l a y o f f appearance.

2. Seth Russell – Junior, Baylor

While he only saw limited action in 2014, Russell im-pressed with his size, poise and arm strength in the few snaps he did get. The 6-foot-3, 220 pound Garland, Texas native threw for 804 yards and eight touchdowns in 2014, and showed good discipline in making his reads, tossing just one in-terception. Art Briles’ quar-terbacks have a reputation for stepping in and step-ping up right away, and I ex-pect Russell to do the same thing.

3. Mason Rudolph – Sophomore, Oklahoma State

After starting 2014 with a 5-1 record, the Oklahoma State Cowboys’ offense went completely stagnant. The Pokes put up just 13.6 points per game during a five-game losing streak that dropped their record to 5-6 and put their postseason dreams in jeopardy. Head coach Mike Gundy knew his team had gone stale, and in-serted freshman Mason Ru-dolph as the starter to inject some life into the offense. Though the Cowboys were blown out by Baylor 49-28 in Rudolph’s first start, he showed signs of turning the ship around, and with his next start, a 38-35 overtime

win against Oklahoma in Norman, he solidified his place as QB-1. Rudolph completed 57-percent of his passes in his three starts and threw for 853 yards and six touchdowns in his three starts at the end of the season. Head-ing into 2015, Rudolph will have invaluable experience under his belt and a full season to show what he is capable of.

4. Patrick Mahomes – Sophomore, Texas Tech

Although things didn’t exactly go as well in year two under Kliff Kingsbury for

the Red Raiders as they did in year one, they may have found their quarterback for the next three seasons in the midst of the chaos. Freshman Patrick Ma-homes took the reins from Davis Webb in the latter half of the season, and although Texas Tech went just 1-3 in his starts, the Red Raiders were much more compet-itive in those games than they had been all season. Mahomes threw for 1,547 yards and sixteen touchdowns in his four starts and showed the kind of quickness Webb

lacked. If Mahomes is indeed tapped as the starter again in 2015, he could be one of the top of-fensive weapons in the conference.

5. Skyler Howard – Ju-nior, West Virginia

After Clint Trickett’s se-nior season was cut short due to concussions he sus-tained over the course of the year, Skyler Howard was slotted into the starter’s spot by head coach Dana Hol-gorsen. Howard struggled with his accuracy at times, completing just over 50 per-cent of his passes over the

last three games of the sea-son, but kept WVU’s offense running at an efficient rate. His ability to move out of the pocket and get upfield provided an added ele-ment to Holgorsen’s offense that Clint Trickett didn’t. With a full off-sea-son of working with a new crop of talent, Howard should be able to develop a rapport with a young group of receiv-ers before the season gets underway.

West Virginia Univer-sity women’s soccer play-ers Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan are currently the only two collegiate athletes on the Canada Women’s National Team roster. While the ma-jority of the roster is made up of professional players, Lawrence and Buchanan are proving they’ve earned their spot on the team de-spite no professional expe-rience thus far in their ca-

reers. In front of a plethora of 45,420 screaming fans, Lawrence, a rising junior, scored her very first ca-reer World Cup goal in the 10th minute of Canada’s matchup with the Nether-lands on Monday in Mon-treal, Quebec. The game ended in a (1-1) draw.

While the crowds and stadiums at the World Cup level are much larger than those at the colle-giate level, both Moun-taineer standouts have remained composed and poised. With her trium-phant goal, Lawrence be-

came the third young-est player to ever score a goal for Canada in the World Cup, right behind Kara Lang and Sophie Schmidt. Lawrence just re-cently celebrated her 20th birthday.

Both Lawrence and Bu-chanan have shown im-mense stamina as they have each played the full 90 minutes in all three of Canada’s matches so far, including a win over China PR (1-0), a (0-0) draw against New Zealand, and most recently the draw against the Netherlands.

Buchanan, a defender, has been a backbone for the Canadian’s defense which has only allowed two goals in three games. Their stellar defense has been credited with keep-ing Canada in a position to make a true run for the Cup.

“I am so proud and happy to have shared two amazing performances with Ashley (Lawrence) and Kadeisha (Buchanan). Sharing Ashley’s goal with her and my staff was a re-ally special moment and one I will forever treasure.

Also, to watch Keisha navi-gate and lead the back line like she always does was priceless,” said West Vir-ginia head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a press-re-lease. Brown was in atten-dance along with some of Lawrence and Buchan-an’s teammates, as well as other members of the Mountaineer coaching staff.

Canada currently holds the top spot in Group A with a five point total, advancing them to the knockout stage where they will meet a third-place

team, to-be-determined, at 7:30 p.m. on June 21. The match is to be played at BC Place in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Both Lawrence and Bu-chanan received All-Big 12 First Team honors in the last two seasons at West Virginia. After the World Cup wraps up, the pair looks to help kick off the Mountaineers’ 2015-16 season in a scrimmage against Wright State at 1 p.m. August 9 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium.

For most coaches, losing a quarterback like Bryce Petty could be an insurmount-able challenge. Luckily for the Baylor Bears, Art Briles isn’t like most coaches.

Since signing on as the head coach in Waco in 2008, Briles has become known by some as “the quarterback whisperer” and by all as an offensive mastermind.

When Robert Griffin III made his historic run to a Heisman Trophy in 2011, Briles’ transformation of a program that used to be the laughing stock of the Big 12 into a team in the national

spotlight every week was complete.

And that 10-3 2011 season that ended with the afore-mentioned Heisman Tro-phy and an Alamo Bowl vic-tory over Washington may not even be Briles’ best ac-complishment as Baylor’s head coach.

After Griffin opted to forego his last year of eligi-bility to put his name in the NFL Draft, where he was picked second by the Wash-ington Redskins, the ques-tion of replacing him made many wonder if Briles could keep the positive momen-tum his program gained that year going.

Nick Florence, who hadn’t seen any significant

work since his freshman year in 2009, stepped in as a senior and threw for 4,309 yards, the most in the NCAA in 2012, and Baylor’s offense kept right on rolling.

Though they finished just 7-5 in the regular sea-son, a Holiday Bowl win over UCLA confirmed the Bears were still headed in the right direction, and that coach Briles’ system works even when it loses a Heis-man Trophy winner.

Petty took the keys to the Cadillac after Flor-ence’s graduation, and the Bears continued their climb to contender status. With one of the most po-tent offenses in the coun-try, Baylor has registered

back-to-back 11-win sea-sons, but there is still room for improvement.

Were it not for an October trip to Morgantown that re-sulted in a 41-27 loss to the Mountaineers, Baylor would have undoubtedly found it-self in the College Football Playoff.

Petty has gone to join Geno Smith with the New York Jets, but history tells us the next man up is likely to have just as much, if not more success in Briles’ offense.

Junior Seth Russell, who saww spotty action last sea-son, appears to be the front-runner to take the starting job in 2015, but the Bears did land the No. 2-ranked quar-

terback in the 2015 recruit-ing class in Stephenville, Texas native Jarrett Stidham.

Whoever is taking the snaps in 2015 will have a plethora of weapons in his arsenal. Junior running back Shock Linwood, who rushed for 1,252 yards and 12 touch-downs in 2014, provides big play ability out of the back-field, while the receiving trio of KD Cannon, Corey Cole-man and Jay Lee are sure to be a headache for opposing defensive backs.

Baylor’s defense will be anchored by the hulking frame of defensive lineman Shawn Oakman, who fin-ished second in the Big 12 af-ter tallying 11 sacks in 2014, but the Bears will have to re-

place one of the best defen-sive players in school history in linebacker Bryce Hager.

A weak non-conference schedule was a hindrance for the Bears in 2014, and that could be a problem again this season as Baylor takes on SMU, Lamar and Rice in the first month of the season.

The Bears will certainly be tested during their Big 12 slate, however, which in-cludes back-to-back road tests against Oklahoma State and TCU in the latter part of November, before they wrap up the regular season at home against the rival Longhorns.

Texas to review all academic support for athletesAUSTIN, Texas (AP) --

In the wake of allegations of misconduct within the men’s basketball program, new University of Texas President Greg Fenves has ordered a sweeping review of all academic services in the athletic department.

“Academic integrity is the core of everything we do,” Fenves said Tuesday.

Fenves had been on the job just a few days when the Chronicle of Higher Ed-ucation last week reported allegations of misconduct involving three former men’s basketball players dating back to 2006.

The school immediately hired an outside investiga-

tor to probe the allegations, which Fenves said could take a “couple of months.” He said nothing has been discovered in the first few days of that investigation that he would consider a major concern.

Fenves was the school provost and oversaw ad-missions before he was promoted to president. Fenves said he had al-ready wanted a broad re-view of academic support services and the Chronicle of Higher Education re-port “brought it front and center.”

“I take these allegations very seriously,” Fenves said.

The basketball investi-gation and the broader re-view will be led by Gene Marsh, a former chairman of the NCAA infractions committee. Having Marsh do both seemed logical to make a seamless process, Fenves said.

The scope and length of the broader review are still being determined, but it will include athletic ad-missions, academic coun-seling and selection of ma-jor courses of study, Fenves said. It will also review spe-cific students, transcripts and course work, and will include a public report.

“I’m very proud of the academic success our stu-

dents have had,” Fenves said. “This is just a thor-ough review to make sure we are doing everything we can to support the ac-ademic integrity of the program.”

Fenves defended Texas as a model program for other universities. Ath-letic director Steve Patter-son said more than half of Texas’ approximately 500 athletes have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher and about 150 are at 3.5.

“All indications are ev-erything is fine,” Fenves said.

In the report by the Chronicle of Higher Ed-ucation, a former aca-

demic counselor said a math instructor told him she saw former basket-ball player Martez Walker cheating on an exam, and that Walker was allowed to pass anyway. Walker has since transferred. The counselor also said he be-lieved former Longhorn P.J. Tucker received imper-missible help with a pa-per while preparing for the NBA draft, and a former academic mentor said he helped write papers for for-mer player J’Covan Brown.

That time span covers part of the tenure of for-mer coach Rick Barnes, who was fired in March af-ter 17 seasons. Barnes was

then hired at Tennessee. Patterson said Barnes’ de-parture had “nothing to do with any academic issues.”

The basketball investi-gation and the broader re-view will be led by Gene Marsh, a former chairman of the NCAA infractions committee. Having Marsh, who will bill the school for hourly expenses, do both seemed logical to make a seamless process, Fenves said.

Fenves said he’s unsure if Marsh will try to speak with Barnes. The NCAA will have no role in the de-partment review but will be kept informed, Fenves said.

Cardinals under investigation for hacking AstrosST. LOUIS (AP) -- Fed-

eral law enforcement au-thorities are investigating whether the St. Louis Car-

dinals illegally hacked into a computer database of the Houston Astros to obtain in-formation on players, a per-

son familiar with the situ-ation said Tuesday in an unusual case involving two former division rivals in Ma-

jor League Baseball.The person spoke on con-

dition of anonymity because MLB, law enforcement of-

ficials and the two teams were not disclosing details of the investigation.

The New York Times first reported that the FBI and Justice Department were investigating whether Car-dinals’ front-office officials were behind the effort to steal information from the Astros’ database, called Ground Control.

“Major League Baseball has been aware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegal breach of the Houston Astros’ baseball operations database,” MLB said in a statement. “Once the investigative process has been completed by federal law enforcement officials, we will evaluate the next steps and will make deci-sions promptly.”

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said sub-poenas have been issued, though he did not provide details.

“There are legal prob-lems associated with fed-eral law enforcement offi-cials seeking cooperation from private individuals,” Manfred said. “If the fed-eral government wants in-formation from us they would subpoena informa-tion and that’s what they’ve done.”

Messages seeking com-ment from FBI offices in Washington, Houston and St. Louis were not re-turned. The U.S. attorney in St. Louis, Richard Callahan, said he was unaware of the investigation.

The Cardinals are among baseball’s most successful franchises on and off the field. Only the New York Yankees have won more World Series titles than the 11 won by St. Louis, which is among the best-drawing teams in all of sports, with annual attendance topping 3 million every year since 2003.

The Astros and Cardinals were rivals in the National League Central until Hous-ton moved to the Ameri-can League in 2012. The As-tros hired former Cardinals scouting and player devel-opment executive Jeff Luh-now as general manager in December 2011, and he has helped lead turn the team from a laughingstock into a contender.

The Astros finished 70-92 and fourth in the AL West a year ago, ending a woeful streak of three straight 100-loss seasons. They are cur-rently in first place in the AL West.

It wasn’t immediately clear how many Cardinals employees were under in-vestigation, or whether top front office officials were possibly aware of the activities.

“Then there’s the ques-tion of who did it?” Man-fred told reporters in Bos-ton. “Who knew about it? Is the organization respon-sible? Is the individual re-sponsible? There’s a whole set of issues that are needed to be sorted through.”

He said he couldn’t recall a similar case in baseball’s long history.

“Until we know, this is different than when we might investigate a drug case (or) we have access to all the facts in a real-time situation,” he said. “That’s just not the case here. We don’t exactly know what the facts are.”

MLB’s forensics experts were not involved in the case, Manfred added.

“This is a federal inves-tigation not a baseball in-vestigation,” he said. “Ob-viously any allegation like this, no matter how serious it turns out to be, is of great

concern to us.”The Cardinals and Astros

said they were cooperating with the investigation but declined further comment. Astros manager A.J. Hinch said his team would focus on baseball.

“Obviously from the baseball perspective we’ll deal with the baseball and all other questions will go elsewhere,” Hinch said.

His counterpart in St. Louis, Mike Matheny, sounded a similar tone and said the case at this point wouldn’t be a distraction for his first-place Cardinals, who have the best record in baseball. He said he’d been unaware of the investiga-tion until he “got pulled out of the weight room” Tuesday morning.

“We have opportunities for distraction every day” he said. “It’s part of what we do, it’s a big part of what we do. We divide them into the controllables and the un-controllables and this is one of the uncontrollables. We don’t have any clue what’s going on.”

Luhnow was not made available to reporters in Houston on Tuesday, but said in June 2014 that the team had been the victim of hackers who accessed serv-ers and published months of internal trade talks on the Internet.

“It was an illegal activ-ity and we’re going to pur-sue it and try and find out who did it and prosecute,” Luhnow said at the time, noting that the Astros were working with the FBI and MLB security to determine who was responsible for the breach.

The Astros rely heavily on sabermetrics in their eval-uation of players and have been open about the fact that they use an online da-tabase to house their pro-prietary information. Last year, the Houston Chroni-cle had a detailed report on Ground Control, noting the team even had a director of decision sciences and that everything from statistics to contract information to scouting reports were stored at a web address protected by a password.

“One of the things I have been talking to my counter-parts about with other clubs is recommending that ev-erybody take a look at their own security systems and make sure they don’t get hacked the way that we were,” Luhnow said last year after the hack became pub-lic knowledge.

Manfred downplayed wider security concerns about MLB’s digital systems.

“We have a technology company that quite liter-ally is the envy of compa-nies throughout America - not just sports enterprises,” the commissioner said. “We routinely make the re-sources of MLB Advanced Media available to all of the clubs. We have the type of security arrangements that are necessary.”

Craig Newman, chair-man of the privacy and data security practice of the New York law firm Patter-son Belknap Webb & Tyler, said it wouldn’t be surpris-ing that a team would be in-volved in hacking given the amount of money in profes-sional sports.

“Data analytics have be-come a critical strategic and tactical drive for both pro-fessional and collegiate ath-letics and, unfortunately, the transition from statis-tical modeling in player evaluation made famous by `Moneyball’ to stealing sensitive information from competitors is a natural pro-gression,” Newman said
