We will show that this cannot continue.” Amber Preston, prevention education specialist and an advocate at RDVIC, said Walk a Mile is a way to show not all men should be grouped into the small percentage of people who actually commit these crimes. Preston also reminds that both men and women can be perpetrators of sexual violence. “Research suggests that there is a small population of men that actually commit sexual violence.

After nearly two weeks of an “up-hill battle,” Samuel Richardson was appointed to the Student Government As-sociation Board of Governors last night after the Judicial Board ruled he had been de-nied his right to due process.
In the majority opinion, the Judicial Board decided not to
call for the Student Govern-ment Association’s BOG to rehear and revote on Rich-ardson’s confirmation, citing a lack of evidence that Rich-ardson would receive a fair hearing.
“It was very nerve-wrack-ing,” Richardson said. “I was thinking about how things did go well. The Judicial Board did seem very open to hear-ing our arguments and they seemed logical and to make
sense. I’m just glad things turned out the way the did.”
At SGA’s regularly sched-uled meeting Wednesday, the BOG voted 9-3 not to confirm Richardson, the 16th highest vote-getter in the most re-cent student body election, to fill now former-Governor Amanda Hutchison’s seat.
This decision came after a private meeting where the BOG questioned Richardson about his qualifications, pre-

it because they were actually into it,” Gerdon said.
Every member in each group performed tumbling, dancing and stunting no matter their experience level. Those who were new to this activity said they definitely ran into their own challenges and had to spend a lot of time practicing.
“For me, the hardest part was throwing the girls up in the air,” said Kyle Gresak, a
freshman Airbands partici-pant. “It was stressful because if you drop a girl, you could hurt her.”
While many male par-ticipants did admit to hav-ing no experience cheering, several audience members found their performances to be the most enjoyable part of Airbands.
“I always have a good time watching the guys compete and dance at Airbands,” said Andrew Bays, a senior in Alpha Gamma Rho. “The guys get really into it and it’s funny to watch.”
Overall, each team per-
formed to the best of their abilities but only one could win.
Team Incredibles took first place in both the Airbands portion as well as the over-all Greek Week. While it was competitive and some teams were disappointed they did not win, Greek Week accom-plished its goals and many said it was an enjoyable ex-perience. The week finished with many completed philan-thropic service projects and a stronger unity amongst the Greek organizations.
pard, a sophomore music student and member of Ep-silon Sigma, wanted to speak to the bad reputation fraterni-ties get when it comes to sex-ual assault.
“We are all wearing our let-ters so it looks better on frater-nities. It’s one way of showing that we aren’t all (perpetra-tors of violence),” Sheppard said.
Ronnie Cosco, a partici-pant in Walk a Mile and a se-nior MDS student at WVU,
pointed out this event shows how strong women are, es-pecially survivors of sexual violence.
“(This event is) for raising awareness about domestic abuse and violence against women, but it also shows in a way how strong they are—because they can get past that and they can wear heels for longer than a mile,” Cosco said. “It’s just ridiculous the different norms between guys and girls. Most guys wouldn’t want to be caught dead in heels, but in other countries they would think this is an awesome thing. I think it’s a good cause.”
The event also aimed to get people talking about this ta-boo topic, which in the past has been swept under the rug.
“It shows how much we have evolved, like the past generations no one talked about it. Now we’re at the point where men are stand-ing out against what other men do to women. And it’s not about keeping women in their place—it’s that we are all equal and we are all equally strong. I definitely feel stron-ger in these heels,” said Will Unger, a participant in Walk a Mile.
they can put sanctions on Venezuela to try to strangle their economy – just like they have done to Cuba for decades and decades. So
we are out here trying to say that we are not going to stand for that,” Pyles said.
Pyles further com-mented on suspicious coup attempts to overthrow the current Venezuelan presi-dent, Nicolas Maduro, who is a member of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela.
“Just recently, the (Ven-
ezuelan) government actu-ally uncovered a coup at-tempt and broke up a coup plot to actually oust the (Venezuelan) president. And, he’s been democrat-ically elected somewhere around 20 times in the so-cialist party that Maduro belongs to,” Pyles said.
Pyles claims that the pro-testers’ goal for the day was “to raise awareness about the U.S. role in attempting to overthrow the democrat-ically elected Venezuelan government.”

of amazing,” said Makayla Lewis, team leader for MARS and also the account executive for the event. “I’ve never pulled an all-nighter before this, and I just did more than that for this group. It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life.”
The Create-A-Thon be-
gan Friday at 3 p.m., with the participating students meeting at Martin Hall for a rally to kick things off, then from 4:15-7 p.m. the groups split up to talk strictly about strategy, with no computers allowed. At 7 p.m. the groups met with their respective clients to showcase their ideas and receive feedback about which one was most fa-vorable. After the meeting, the groups worked straight through until 3 p.m. Sat-urday creating the mate-rial decided on for their
clients.“Having just 24 hours re-
ally makes you be creative on the fly,” said Kristen Basham, a graduate stu-dent and member of the MARS team. “It makes you realize things don’t always have to be perfect.”
Throughout the night there was an events team to coordinate the food spon-sors and organize activities such as hula hooping con-tests to keep morale up for the volunteers. There was also a social media team actively running all of Cre-ate-A-Thon’s social me-dia channels to keep par-ticipants entertained and awake.
“We were having fun. It was a lot of hard work but it’s what I love to do,” Basham said.
After the presentations, Dr. Sang Lee, a strategic communications profes-sor at WVU, expressed his respect for the work done, saying it was up to par with work produced in one se-mester of a capstone class.
As presentations were given, pride for their ac-complishments was ev-ident on all the partici-pants’ faces.
“I’m very proud of Cre-ate-A-Thon, and I think it’s something the Reed Col-lege of Media should be proud of,” Lewis said. “Any-thing can happen within 24 hours.”

oKLaHoMa CITy (aP) — Every day when Dr. Ross-lyn Biggs goes to work as a federal government vet-erinarian she is reminded of her mother, one of 168 people killed in the Okla-homa City bombing and honored Sunday on the 20th anniversary of the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil until Sept. 11, 2001.
Biggs has the same job once held by her mother, Dr. Margaret L. “Peggy” Clark, as a food safety vet-erinarian at the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture. She interacts often with some of the people who worked with and recall her mother’s professionalism.
“I remember her spirit and her dedication,” Biggs said as she and other fam-ily members gathered around an empty chair adorned with flowers in a field of empty chairs de-signed to memorialize the victims of the April 19, 1995 bombing.
“It’s wonderful to see that people still remember and still care,” Biggs said.
Former President Bill Clinton, who was presi-dent when the attack oc-curred, spoke at Sunday’s service at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, where the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Build-ing once stood. Memorial officials estimated that 2,500 people attended the observance.
“Oklahoma City, you have chosen well,” Clin-ton said. “For 20 years you have honored the memories of your loved ones. You have inspired us with the power of renewal.”
Clinton said the city has recovered from the ter-
rorist attack “in the face of mad, crazy people who think that differences are all that matter.”
“The whole world needs you now,” the former pres-ident said in reference to other deadly terrorist at-tacks that have occurred around the world.
The service started with a 168-second moment of silence to honor each of those who died. It con-cluded about 90 minutes later with survivors and tearful relatives of the dead reading the names of those killed.
“This was a place of un-speakable horror and trag-edy,” said Frank Keating, who completed his first 100 days as Oklahoma’s gover-nor the day before the at-tack. “How some evil indi-vidual would do what he did ... is unforgiveable and absolutely unimaginable.”
“The agony was consis-
tent. The agony appeared never to end,” Keating said.
After the service, La-Donna Battle and her fam-ily were standing between two of the 168 metal and glass chairs that now stand as a testament to those who were killed. The two chairs were inscribed with the names of her parents, Calvin and Peola Bat-tle, who were arranging to receive Social Security benefits when the bomb detonated.
“We’re completing a journey with steel hearts. We’re rebuilding our lives.” LaDonna Battle said.
Timothy McVeigh, an Army veteran with strong anti-government views, carried out the bombing as revenge for the deadly standoff between the FBI and Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993 — exactly two years before Oklahoma
City.McVeigh was convicted
on federal murder and conspiracy charges in 1997 and executed in 2001.
His Army buddy, Terry Nichols, was convicted on federal and state bomb-ing-related charges and is serving multiple life sen-tences in a federal prison.
In a statement, Pres-ident Barack Obama thanked first responders who risked their lives af-ter the bombing, law en-forcement and prosecutors who brought the perpe-trators to justice and or-dinary men and women in Oklahoma for their resilience.
“If those murderers hoped to terrorize the American people that day, to break our spirits or shat-ter the bonds that unite us, then they completely and utterly failed,” Obama said.

People gathered at the former site of the Oklahoma City federal building to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the terrorist bombing there that killed 168 people and injured many others.
tive session for Mr. Richard-son’s confirmation,” the ma-jority opinion said, “at which they asked questions which appeared to undermine Mr. Richardson’s appointment process.”
The opinion also said both parties produced evidence showing “the unusual and secretive treatment” through which Richardson went.
A week prior to the private meeting between the BOG and Richardson, Student Body President George Ca-pel and Chief of Staff Randy Jones met with Richardson to discuss the situation and how difficult it would be for him to be confirmed by the BOG.
Richardson said in the hearing he interpreted this to mean the BOG had already decided not to confirm him prior to the private meeting.
Former Student Body Pres-ident Chris Nyden was told by a current governor that Saba-tino was added to the group message used by the MAD Movement during the cam-paign season prior to being confirmed.
Capel said Sabatino was added to the group because she was interested in becom-ing an executive and sev-eral others were added to the group as well.
Governor Shani Waris said during the hearing that after serving as the Chief of Staff for the 2013-14 SGA admin-istration, Richardson said he would find the position of ex-ecutive a demotion.
“He really disrespected the position of executive as a whole,” Waris said in the hearing.
“Because you felt slighted, you decided to not confirm him? Is that what you’re say-ing?” Chief Justice Jason Kyle said.
“No, there were several
other things,” Waris said.Richardson was asked
during the private meeting if there was anything that could “tarnish or jeopardize the in-tegrity of this organization” if he were to be approved. He responded that “everything should be okay...,” according to notes taken by governors at the meeting.
Governor Tori Money-hun expressed her concerns about Richardson’s profile picture in a private group message. The picture was a mugshot from Richardson’s underage citation which was later expunged from his record.
“Why is that a thing?” she asked in the private meeting.
Sabatino and Moneyhun are both members of the Al-pha Phi sorority.
SGA’s executive secretary was not present at Richard-son’s private meeting with the BOG, prompting him to ask the notes not be realesed because he said he feared they might not be completely accurate.
Along with the decision to install Richardson on the BOG, the Judicial Board ruled that secret votes in con-firmation hearings are now forbidden.
Justice Neal and Justice Derrik Whitlow concurred in judgements, writing in addendum that the matter should have been remanded to the BOG in order for them to hold an unbiased confir-mation hearing.
“It is my opinion that ev-eryone involved in this situ-ation displayed the utmost regard for our students, and our governing documents, throughout every step of this process...,” Capel said in a statement. “We welcome Governor Sam Richard-son onto the Board of Gov-ernors, and we are excited to move forward with our administration.”

Music Monday: Riding the new alternative wave
Passion Pit Bubbly and eclectic en-
semble Passion Pit chan-nels the ‘80s with the re-lease of its album “Kindred.” Dropping Tuesday, the “in-dietronica” group has com-bined super synthesized beats with detailed lyrics loaded with personal strug-gles and triumphs. The group’s single, “Lifted Up (1985)” encompasses Pas-sion Pit’s typical funky and electronic dance sound fea-turing lyrics expressing grat-itude and appreciation. Pas-sion Pit front man Michael Angelakos recently opened up to the press about his battle coping with bipolar disorder. The artist’s tribula-tions serve as inspiration in Passion Pit’s tracks. “Where the Sky Hangs” features bal-lads that tell a tale of love and incorporate Angelakos’ high pitched, child-like vo-cals. Angelakos stays true to upholding Passion Pit’s true aesthetic. The singer song-writer paired raw and re-
vealing lyrics with peppy, upbeat tracks. This created a more defined sound for the alternative group.
JoywaveWith roots planted in
Rochester, N.Y., Joywave’s electronic indie-rock shines in its album, “How Do You Feel Now?” dropping Tues-day. Joywave’s musical style blends disco-like, elec-tronic beats with rocking guitar riffs and bold lyrics. Joywave’s electronic-pop shines in “Tounges,” a glitzy track with catchy synthe-sized beats and rhyming, hip-hop lyrics. Continu-ing to showcase its varia-tion within the industry, Joywave’s “Destruction” and “Somebody New” har-vest harsh punk rock gui-tar tones. Joywave loses its smooth, electronic sound with these two tracks, but the variation shows the group’s ability to blend styles from all genres. “In Clo-ver” features beats similar to those in “Tounges” with zipping electronic strokes. Overall, “How Do You Feel Now?” can be considered one of Joywave’s most musi-cally diversified albums yet.
YelaWolfWhat do you get when
you mix down home south-ern sound and slick-spit-ting lines? One explicit “Love Story.” Alabama un-derground rapper and re-cording artist YelaWolf has created a masterpiece that ties country, rock ‘n’ roll, hip-hop and stellar vocals all into an 18-track record. Yelawolf’s venture into the hip-hop industry began in small town Gadsden, Ala., where the southern soul first started experimenting with raps and mixtapes, build-ing an audience for himself on Myspace. Since the rap-per’s emergence into the rap scene, YelaWolf has collabo-rated with some of music’s most adored artists; from Lil Jon, to Diplo and Kid Rock. The Alabama native also works frequently with Emi-nem, who made an appear-ance on YelaWolf ’s “Love Story.” The collaboration titled “Best Friend,” com-bines somber lyrics with guitar riffs and a few notes from the piano. While “Best Friend” and “Box Chevy V” sound more like YelaWolf’s typical rapping style, “Amer-ican You” is a slower, coun-
try beat that features brazen ballads. “Love Story,” which also drops Tuesday, is an album blending an array of musical genres. It high-lights YelaWolf’s talent as a serious artist whose sound can be loved by punk rock-ers, country crooners or hip-hop fiends.
Built to Spill Indie rock band Built to
Spill will release its album “Untethered Moon” Tues-day. The group, whose ori-gin began in Boise, Idaho, has been toying with folk and blues elements since 1992. Through vibrant gui-tar undertones and sim-plistic, meaningful lyrics, Built to Spill showcases its emotional depth and mu-sical skills as an ultra-mel-low indie rock group. “Never Be the Same” is a joyous track with blissful ballads from brilliant vocalist Doug Martsch. Built to Spill’s al-bum features similar sounds within each tune, offering little diversity from track to track. “Untethered Moon” is a consistent record fit as a soundtrack for relaxing on a lazy, sunny afternoon.

Police should be equipped with drug overdose reversal shot
Sadly West Virginia has found itself yet again at the list compiling the top of the highest amount of drug overdose deaths. For-tunately, new legislation is taking place to try and help counteract these statistics.
Last month, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin passed a law allowing police, other emergency personnel and even family and friends to administer naloxone, a drug which reserves the ef-fects of heroin and pain pill overdoses. Previously, only medical personnel were allowed to administer the drug.
Unfortunately, State Police officials told the Charleston Gazette they don’t intend on training and equipping their officers for use of the drug. Accord-ing to the article, the de-partments state uncertainty surrounding cost and train-ing as their reasons. Indi-vidual county police de-partments are looking into
how to train and equip their officers.
Training state police—and for that matter local and county police—could help save the lives of citi-zens, and be the first step toward the recovery they need.
West Virginia’s drug problem is no secret; With nearly 500 heroin over-doses last year alone, leg-islation is a great first step on the road to recovering as a state. However, this leg-islation does little good if emergency personnel are not equipped and trained in the use of the drug.
The article reports other state police agencies such as New Jersey, North Caro-lina and Pennsylvania have already started carrying the drug. In Pennsylvania, an insurance company offered to cover the cost to equip each state police cruiser. Officers in the neighbor-ing state were also able to be trained online on what
the drug does and how it is used.
West Virginia could fol-low in these footsteps by looking for agencies to help recover costs (each kit costs between $22 and $60) as well as looking into either online training, or training through local hospitals.
Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster made an ex-cellent point when he told the Charleston Gazette this option would be ideal for rural areas. In locations far-ther away from hospitals, with less EMS workers, the ability of police to adminis-ter the reversal drug could very well be the difference between life and death.
In an effort to help the state recover from its crip-pling drug issues, this train-ing and equipment are es-sential. In order to protect and serve, police need all of the available tools they can get.
With only a few weeks left of the semester, many students are scrambling to finalize their summer plans. The question of where to live and work in the summers of your col-lege years is a big one.
Deciding whether to gain experience in your chosen field—or work a dependable job for quick cash—can be a bit of a tricky wicket. On one hand, you need to have money
to pay the bills and sur-vive the school year. On the other, it’s known that internships and experi-ence are a crucial factor in landing a job after gradu-ation; it’s a must for many employers.
If you score a paid in-ternship, that’s obviously a great scenario. But what should you do if you find an unpaid internship?
While working for free might feel cruel at times, you can still gain a lot. You may not receive monetary compensation, but you do gain experience, refer-ences, a resume booster
and a better idea of the in-dustry. By experiencing day-to-day life in the field in which you are hoping to work; You may realize you either love it or hate it. It’s certainly great to fig-ure these things out sooner rather than later.
According to the Na-tional Association of Col-leges and Employers, 55 percent of the class of 2012 had an internship or co-op during their time in col-lege. Almost half of those were unpaid.
While the issue of un-paid internships has been gaining negative media
coverage in the past few years, it’s still a fact of life for many college students.
As an intern, you gain di-rect access to a number of mentors in the field. These experienced professionals will “hold your hand,” so to speak, far more than they would if you were an em-ployee; it’s understood that you are still learning.
You not only gain knowl-edge from them during your internship but gain contacts and references for the future. Not all intern-ships are about fetching coffee and providing slave labor for menial tasks—the
return you get from the po-sition might not be mon-etary, but that’s not the only way to judge the ex-perience at all. The com-pensation interns aren’t getting in money should be coming through valu-able education in a real world setting. There’s also the possibility of landing a job with the company af-ter graduation if the intern-ship is a great fit.
Although you provide extra help as an intern, you also have to consider it’s work for the employees to train you—they are tak-ing the time to help you be-
cause they do want to see you succeed.
It sucks to be unpaid, but we have to consider in a lot of cases we may not really be “necessary” or greatly aiding the company; the company is providing us with valuable experience and skills. Sometimes we really may not be enti-tled to a big paycheck just yet, and forcing all com-panies to pay interns may actually eliminate intern-ships rather than produc-ing paid ones, which would undoubtedly be a shame.
Secrets of your social security number: Saving now, spending later
From the time every American is born, they are assigned a Social Secu-rity number that goes with them at all times.
Most college students have had to give their So-cial Security number when registering for various po-sitions in their life, such as applying for college or a job.
People also need it when filing taxes, opening bank accounts or otherwise es-tablishing a line of credit. Some may wonder why So-cial Security numbers are applied and why it seems to go everywhere. Fortu-nately there is a reason for that.
According to the U.S. Social Security Adminis-
tration, the Social Security number was established in 1935 to track workers’ earnings and to determine how much people would earn in Social Security benefits once they reach retirement age.
Social Security is the fund that provides a por-tion of income for retir-ees that was established by the passage of the So-cial Security Act in 1935. While it would seem sim-pler to just track people by their name, it can actu-ally be difficult to differen-tiate people when search-ing for John Q. Smith out of a whole population of John Smiths.
Fingerprints were also considered for this pur-pose, but even back in 1935 fingerprinting was heavily associated with criminal investigation.
As time went by, the us-
age of the Social Security number expanded to other registries. For example, in 1966, the Veterans Admin-istration started using the numbers to identify hospi-tal patients and keep track of their records.
Now, one can find in-formation on almost any-one if they know the cor-rect number. However, it seems this would make it easier for identity thieves to get a hold of someone’s records. One data breach and they could get access to the rest of the victim’s records.
According to the SSA, the first person to receive a Social Security number was John David Sweeney Jr., yet he died of a heart attack at age 61 before he received any benefits from Social Security.
The official age of eligi-bility for benefits is 65, yet
with more and more people living past that age today, the Social Security fund is in danger of running out of money. As such, the young men and women entering the workforce in this gen-eration and future gener-
ations cannot depend on the fund lasting until they are ready to retire or face disability.
As such, current and fu-ture college students need to work hard and start sav-ing for retirement early on
to make sure they can pro-vide for themselves when the time comes. It may seem a long way away for those who are beginning their careers, but with the current economy, things are very unpredictable.

Morgantown got a sweeter treat than the warm weather this week-end with the return of the annual Chocolate Lovers’ Day celebration. The down-town corridor was trans-formed into a festival of indulgence as local busi-nesses teamed up with the event to whip up some de-licious offers.
In its 16th year, the Chocolate Lovers Day has been an annual spring sta-ple for dessert enthusiasts in the area.
“It’s kind of like a tradi-tion to come back for some of my friends, so I’m trying it for the first time,” said Jesse Felde, a newcomer to the chocolate event. “One of my roommates comes every single year and she loves it.”
The Chocolate Lovers’ Day celebration, which is hosted by Main Street Mor-gantown, partners with lo-cal downtown businesses offering savory treats and event specials. Guests of the celebration had count-
less options to satisfy their cravings. Each guest re-ceived a map, indicating participating businesses and street vendors. Partici-pants were essentially sent on a dessert scavenger hunt through the city, with each business giving stamps for covering that location. Chocolate lovers who re-ceived the most stamps on the map could return their map to be entered in the official grand prize draw-ing. The giveaway fit the celebration’s chocolatey theme, with the winner scoring four tickets to Her-shey Park in Hershey, Pa.
Beginning at 11 a.m., crowds began to fill the High Street area and des-sert lovers made a mad dash for some of Morgan-town’s most popular eat-eries. Some downtown hot spots dishing out treats included The Cupcaka-rie, who shared its favor-ite chocolate mini-cup-cake flavors. Garcia’s Local Market was bustling with participants as they of-fered chocolate donuts on top of numerous taco spe-cials. Also passing out free-bies was Dairy Queen, with
a free chocolate cone when you stamped your map.
The event in the Court House Square also featured a few local vendors. Some of the vendors represented were Relay for Life, Mor-gantown Lions Club, WVU PRSSA and the Waterfront Hotel. The Girl Scouts also made an appearance at the event, whipping up some tasty creations made from their famous cookies. Their thin mint and tagalong brownies were a huge hit amongst chocolate lovers.
While guests enjoyed the sugar rush, businesses and vendors appreciated Choc-olate Lovers’ Day for the boost in business.
“I hear there are a lot of businesses that people don’t know about until they come to Chocolate Day,” Felde said. “It just brings out people. It’s a big event and it kind of gives every-one a chance to check out the new businesses around Morgantown.”
The businesses seemed to agree, with many seeing an increase in their usual Saturday turnout. One new restaurant praises the Chocolate Lovers’ celebra-
tion as a great way for busi-nesses to get their name out there.
“Being a new business (we haven’t even been open for a year yet), we def-initely thought it would be good exposure for us,” said Steve Dilettoso, part owner
of the Iron Horse Tavern. “It’s good to see a lot of people out who may have heard of the place but not really known where it was.”
The Iron Horse Tavern went all out for the choco-late bash, creating special chocolate-infused menu
items. Chocolate lover par-ticipants could munch on a chocolate brownie with candied bacon, chocolate-covered candied walnuts and even chocolate rub steak.
Luke Dahn is a famed composer, associate pro-fessor of music theory and chair of the music de-partment of North West-ern College. On Friday he came to West Virginia to inspire at the Creative Art Center.
“I had the honor of be-ing guest composer for the week,” Dahn said. “And of being able to work with the student composers at WVU.”
Dahn played two of his compositions, “Penum-brae” and “Traces.”
Penumbrae originates from the word penumbra, which means partial shade or shadow. This song was dedicated to the Mos-cow Conservatory’s Stu-dio for New Music for its first opening. Penumbrae uses clarinet, violin, viola, cello and piano in its per-formance which is over 11 minutes long.
“The whole of the work is held together in creative ways for while exact repe-tition of large swatches of music is not a central con-cern, the establishment of clearly identifiable affin-ities among its sections does assume a vital role,” said Gregory Marion, pro-fessor at the University of Saskatchewan. “These af-finities include numer-ous associations based upon manner of attack; at times, for instance, pithy rhythmic interplay domi-nates across the complete ensemble, while at other times the strings alone es-tablish a pensive mood via the coordinated un-folding of upper register harmonics.”
The second song, “Traces,” is a piano solo with seven diverse sound-ing “chapters.” The piece was written for Ryan Fogg and has been preformed solely by him. With a sim-ilar air to it as say a De-bussy or Chopin piece; there is this hectic short-ening of notes that only a practiced ear and fin-ger could accomplish. It holds a melancholic e mi-nor prelude, which could explain its overall emo-tional tone.
With each movement, the piece began to take on a life of its own until it re-prised the opening on the seventh to close. Despite having only one instru-ment it was amazing how diverse each of the seven movements were.
Dahn earned gradu-ate degrees in composi-tion from the University of Iowa and Western Mich-igan University. Dahn is co-founder and co-artistic director of the Ensemble: Peripheries and is also on the Board of Directors for the League of Composers/ISCM in New York.
“When composing, I draw from numerous in-fluences,” Dahn said. “My music reveals an admira-tion for numerous com-posers such as Birtwistle with his attention to de-tail and often extroverted rhythms; Donatoni with his outlandish timbral combinations and angu-lar melodies; Dutilleux and the beautiful richness of his harmonic palette; Berio with his frequent heterophonic treatment of melody; and Gompper and the sheer vitality of his music.”

After struggling to get much going against West Virginia starting pitcher Chad Donato in the early stages of Sunday’s rubber match, Oklahoma put to-gether rallies in the fifth and sixth innings and slugged its way to a 10-2 victory at Monongalia County Ballpark.
West Virginia took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first after a pair of Sooner errors allowed Jus-tin Fox and Jackson Cra-
mer to score, but the of-fense went silent from then on.
O klahoma star t ing pitcher Robert Tasin set-tled in nicely after an event-ful first inning and held the Mountaineer lineup down while his offense warmed up. He helped his own cause at the plate as well, collecting two RBIs and getting on base in two of his three at-bats.
Tasin was as efficient as they come, needing just 103 pitches to get through 7.2 innings of work. He kept West Vir-ginia’s lineup off bal-
ance, inducing two double plays and 10 ground ball outs.
“The guy is good. His ERA is under two. He’s 7-1 now. He throws everything on the knees and some of it moves towards you. Some of it moves away from you,” said head coach Randy Mazey.
“He’s just a really good pitcher. He’s their third re-ally good starter, and with that offense, that’s why they’re in first place in the Big 12. It’s just a really good team.”
The Mountaineers were only able to scratch out
six hits against the Soon-ers’ Sunday starter, who saw his earned run aver-age drop to 1.41 with his dominant effort in the se-ries clincher.
Center fielder Craig Ai-kin, who came into the game hitting .347 on the season, put on a show at the plate, going 4-for-6 with a double, and RBI and two runs scored.
The Sooner lineup took advantage of an off day from Donato, who said he didn’t have his full arsenal of pitches working.
“I felt pretty good com-ing out of the pen and
starting the game off, but I struggled with my fastball command,” he said.
With the wind blow-ing in for the majority of the afternoon, Oklahoma made some offensive ad-justments in-game that al-lowed the Sooners to break out for 15 hits.
“They came out with a really good approach to-day. They made a good adjustment with the wind blowing in from left to hit balls the other way,” Mazey said.
“If this were a basket-ball game, they would have hit about 20 or 25 3-point-
ers. That’s how well they played offensively today.”
With the loss, West Vir-ginia falls to 22-15 overall and 5-7 in the Big 12, just a half a game ahead of sev-enth-place Kansas, who pays a visit to Morgantown this weekend. Oklahoma improved its season mark to 26-16 and 10-5 in con-ference play.
The Mountaineers will next be in action 6 p.m. Tuesday, when in-state ri-val Marshall makes its first appearance at the new ballpark.
West Virginia competes in the arena Grand Prixby daVid statman
sports writer @djstatman77
The West Virginia Uni-versity swimming and div-ing team hit the pool again this weekend as seven men’s swimmers com-pleted their participation in the Arena Grand Prix at the Mesa Skyline Aquatic Center in Mesa, Ariz., tak-ing part in the action from Thursday through Satur-day evening.
The Arena Grand Prix was one of six events in the 2014-15 Arena Pro Swim Series, sanctioned by USA Swimming. Some of the best swimmers in the country — names like Mi-chael Phelps, Ryan Lochte and Katie Ledecky — com-peted alongside collegiate and high school swimmers in Mesa this weekend, with eyes toward showing their stuff for future Olympic qualification.
Mountaineer Head Coach Vic Riggs brought
seven men’s swimmers with him to Mesa this weekend: Juniors An-drew Marsh, Jake Iotte, Jay Hickey and Max Spencer, sophomores Frank Csonka and Austin Green, and freshman James Koval.
One of West Virginia’s breakout stars of the sea-son and one of the team’s two NCAA qualifiers, An-drew Marsh headlined the contingent of Mountain-eers headed to Mesa and wound up winning two races.
On Friday, Marsh took a first-place finish in the C Final of the 100-me-ter backstroke, follow-ing up with another C Final win in the 100-me-ter freestyle the next day. Marsh also turned in a 31st place finish in the 100-meter butterfly Thurs-day, after coming in sev-enth in the D Final of that event.
Meanwhile, Spencer, who established himself as one of West Virginia’s best
breaststrokers this season, finished 28th overall after a fourth place showing in the 100-meter breast-stroke. He was joined in that event by Iotte, who finished 43rd overall and missed a berth in a final.
Koval put together one of the better individ-ual performances from a Mountaineer in Mesa. On Thursday, he finished 19th overall with a third place showing in the C Fi-nal of the 400-meter indi-vidual medley, and went on to finish 23rd in the 1,500-meter freestyle on Saturday.
Hickey stepped up to take a second place fin-ish in the B Final of the 200-meter backstroke Saturday, rolling in with a season-best time of 2.05.50 — he also reached the D Final of the 100-me-ter backstroke Friday, fin-ishing fourth in that race for an overall finish of 28th.
Green competed in three events over the weekend. He turned in an eighth-place perfor-mance in the D Final of the 200-meter butterfly Fri-day, sandwiched by a 66th
place finish in the 100-me-ter butterfly and a 50th place finish in the 200-me-ter individual medley.
Csonka also competed in two events for the Mountaineers, but failed
to reach a final. Csonka finished 65th in the 100-meter butterfly and 60th overall in the 100-me-ter freestyle.

WVU scrimmages Duquesne on Sundayby aShley conley
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia wom-en’s rowing team held a scrimmage on the Monon-gahela River with Duquesne this past weekend, where no team scores were kept. The usual formats were al-tered and the lineups were interchanged in an effort to enhance the Mountain-eers’ work ethic in prepa-ration for the competitive season later this month, which includes the EAWRC
Sprints and the Big 12 Championships.
The Duquesne scrim-mage was West Virginia’s last competition until the Sprints, which will take place on May 3 in Cherry Hill, N.J.
The First Varsity Eight, Second Varsity Eight, Third Varsity Eight and the First Varsity Four boats all partic-ipated in the event. Accord-ing to Coach Jimmy King, the scrimmage benefitted both teams and was ulti-mately a quality way to pre-pare for the EAWRC Sprints
in just a few short weeks.Freshman rower Em-
ily Stasi from Haddenfield, N.J., is a stroke for the Sec-ond Varsity Eight boat. Stasi said staying focused is the key to making sure the boat is fast and ready for the Big 12 Championships.
“My boat had a pretty successful day of racing. We started out a bit frantic but were able to bring the focus back internally and stay re-laxed for the remainder of the pieces,” Stasi said.
“It felt really good to fi-nally be on our home river
for a race. Being familiar with the course isn’t some-thing we’re used to, so that was nice. Knowing it was the seniors’ last time racing on the Mon, we all wanted to row for them.”
The weather in Morgan-town for Sunday’s scrim-mage was ideal for the occasion and the water conditions were fantastic, allowing the Mountain-eers to get the most of the scrimmage and enjoy one last event on the Mon be-fore the season ends.
“There were definitely
highs and lows to today’s racing. Some boats had a better outcome than oth-ers but all boats showed a fight,” Stasi said Sunday af-ter the conclusion of the scrimmage.
The Mountaineers will head to New Jersey for the EAWRC Sprints at the be-ginning of May. The Big 12 Championships will follow May 16-17 in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Times for both com-petitions will be announced at a later date.
West Virginia Univer-sity’s women’s track and field team returned from Charlottesville, Va., and the Virginia Challenge this weekend with good show-ings from some of its top student-athletes.
The Mountaineers faced off against their toughest competition of the out-door season, facing top 25 ranked teams like Michi-gan, Michigan State and Virginia Tech.
“Our schedule is set up to continue to rise in the
level of competition,” head coach Sean Cleary said.
“These opportunities are important in estab-lishing those that will be in Iowa with us. From this meet forward we are look-ing to get on a roll that will allow us to peak at Big 12.”
Day one only saw two Mountaineers compete at Virginia in the triple jump and the pole vault.
“We are starting to run the team in events that are more to their spe-cialty,” Cleary said. “The 1,500-meter run, high jump, pole vault and triple jump are the events we are mainly concentrating on.”
Freshman Shamoya McNeil, a Jamaican na-tive, continued her strong play in the outdoor season with a first overall finish in the triple jump.
Her mark of 12.51 me-ters was a career-best mark, breaking her former record of 12.39 meters that she set the week before at the Mason Spring Invita-tional. This was her sec-ond victory in three weeks.
Sara Finfrock tied for 14th overall in the pole vault with a mark of 3.37 meters to close out the day for WVU. She improved on her 3.35-meter vault from the week before in Fairfax,
Va., that earned her fifth place at George Mason.
On day two, West Vir-ginia was featured in three separate events.
I n t h e w o m e n ’s 1,500-meter run, Kelly Williams placed 11th in her heat. Her time of 4:24.47 was good enough for 26th overall in the competition.
Williams was followed by Amy Cashin in 34th place overall with a time of 4:26.02.
Marsielle McBeam, also a native Jamaican, posted her best mark of the out-door season in the high jump with a 1.68-me-ter jump. She followed her mark of 1.67 me-ters, good enough for first place at the Mason Spring Invitational, with a third place finish this weekend.
WVU will travel to Phil-adelphia for the Penn Re-lays this coming weekend. This event is the lon-gest uninterrupted colle-
giate track meet in the na-tion’s history and will host top talent from across the country.
“We need to approach the next month as the most important month of train-ing,” Cleary said.
“April’s dedication will show dividends come the championships.”
The Mountaineers will look to perform at their highest level in one of the world’s largest track events, featuring the third-largest track and field au-dience behind only the Olympics and World Championships.
The Relays will begin Thursday and continue into Saturday.
“It’s weekends like this where we really need to take advantage of the op-portunities presented to us to keep getting better and lock down some NCAA qualifying marks,” Cleary said.

Pierce leads Wizards past Raptors 93-86 in overtimeTORONTO (AP) — Paul
Pierce beat the Raptors with a veteran mix of brains and baskets.
Pierce scored five of his 20 points in overtime, Nene had 12 points and 13 re-bounds, and the Washing-ton Wizards beat Toronto 93-86 on Saturday in Game 1 of their first-round play-off series.
“It takes the pressure off us and puts it on them now,” Pierce said of win-ning on the road to start the series.
Pierce hit a 3-pointer, his fourth of the game, to be-gin the extra session, fur-ther tormenting a Raptors team he eliminated with Brooklyn in last year’s play-offs, then derided this week by saying, “I don’t feel they have the ̀ It’ that makes you worried,” in an interview with ESPN.
“He was really big,” Wiz-ards coach Randy Wittman said. “I thought the 3 he hit
to start the overtime was big (for) momentum.”
Bradley Beal scored 16, while John Wall and Kevin Seraphin each had 10 for the Wizards.
Amir Johnson scored 18 points and DeMar DeRo-zan had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Raptors, who have yet to win the opening game of a first-round series in seven post-season appearances.
Toronto hosts Game 2 on Tuesday night.
Badgered by taunts from a vocal sellout crowd, Pierce also drew the ire of Toronto’s general man-ager. Masai Ujiri, who was fined $25,000 after he used a profanity about Brooklyn at the start of last year’s se-ries, used another profan-ity in a pregame speech to thousands of fans watching on a big screen outside the arena. This time, Ujiri’s off-color comment referred to Pierce’s recent “It” remark.
“Typical Ujiri,” Pierce smirked when told about it after the game. “You heard what he said last year when I was in Brooklyn. I could really care less. I think I can play the psychological war a little bit better than him.”
Pierce may have never played it better, although he’s certainly had plenty of practice.
“You’ve just got to em-brace it,” Pierce said of be-ing the villain. “It’s not that I’m a bad guy. Everybody knows I’m a good guy, I mean off the court. That’s just the role you portray to media on the court, on the road. Everybody is boo-ing you, no one likes you. I embrace it. It fuels me, truthfully.”
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who attended the game, told Canadian broadcaster TSN that Uji-ri’s comments were “not appropriate.”
Before the series, Witt-
man said he picked Pierce’s brain about what Brooklyn did to beat Toronto last year, and Pierce’s experience in winning an NBA title with Boston.
“It’s a unique situation having a guy like him,” Wit-tman said. “If I don’t take advantage of having a guy who’s going to be a first bal-lot Hall of Famer and pick his brain, then I’m not do-ing a very good job.”
Washington held a dou-ble-digit lead in the second half, but Greivis Vasquez, who came on after All-Star Kyle Lowry fouled out, tied it at 82-all by hitting a 3-pointer with 25 seconds left.
“We didn’t get discour-aged when they tied it up, we just stayed confident with each other,” Pierce said.
Neither team scored again until Pierce made a 3-pointer 36 seconds into overtime, the first basket in
a 7-0 Wizards run. Toronto missed seven straight shots before DeRozan’s dunk with 29 seconds left.
The Raptors’ only Game 1 win came over Philadel-phia in the second round of the 2001 playoffs.
Lou Williams, Patrick Patterson and Vasquez each had 10 for the Raptors, whose bench outscored the starting five 48-38.
DeRozan, Lowry and Terrence Ross shot a com-bined 11 for 41, including a 0-for-11 performance from 3-point range.
“We just missed a lot of easy shots,” DeRozan said.
More than the poor shooting, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said he wasn’t happy that his team got outrebounded 61-48. Washington has 19 offen-sive rebounds.
“Until we make (re-bounding) a priority, it’s going to be hard for us,” Casey said.
Three of the past five meetings between the Wiz-ards and Raptors have gone into overtime, including one triple-overtime game.
TIP-INSRaptors: Tyler Hans-
brough started in place of Johnson, who missed four of Toronto’s final seven games with a sore right ankle.
Wizards: Washington won in Toronto for the first time since a 134-129 triple OT victory on Feb 27, 2014. They Wizards had lost their past two visits.

COACH IN THE CROWDKentucky coach John
Calipari, who coached Wall and Patterson during their time with the Wild-cats, watched from a court-side seat near the Raptors bench.
rit Cole pitched six effec-tive innings, Pedro Alvarez homered and the Pitts-burgh Pirates swept Mil-waukee 5-2 Sunday, leav-ing the Brewers with their worst start in team history.
Milwaukee dropped its fifth straight game and fell to 2-10, the poorest record in the majors.
Cole (2-0) improved to 9-1 in his last 10 decisions at PNC Park, and has won six straight overall. He gave up two runs and struck out six.
Alvarez hit his fourth homer of the season, Josh Harrison had two hits and
Chris Stewart added a two-run single in the sixth off Matt Garza (1-2).
Pittsburgh has won five of seven, including three in a row over Milwaukee, to get back to .500 after los-ing its first three games of the season. Mark Melan-con worked the ninth for his second save.
Jonathan Lucroy had two of Milwaukee’s six hits. Garza surrendered five runs in six innings.
The Pirates began the series hitting just .207 as a team, the lowest in the Na-tional League. That num-ber improved to .222 after a weekend in which Pitts-
burgh outscored the reel-ing Brewers 17-7.
Milwaukee’s shaky play did little to help Garza. An error, a wild pitch and an RBI single by Andrew Mc-Cutchen put the Pirates ahead 2-0 in the first.
Milwaukee evened it in the second on a run-scor-ing groundout by Jean Se-gura and an RBI single by Lucroy but the Brewers could get little else going against Cole.
The hyper-intense righty is growing into the staff cornerstone the team en-visioned when it selected him with the top overall pick in the 2011 draft, par-
ticularly when he pitches at home.
Cole is now 6-0 with a 3.06 ERA in his last eight starts overall dating to last September and is 13-6 at PNC Park since making his debut on June 11, 2013.
The Brewers offered lit-tle resistance after the sec-ond. Cole struck out four in a row at one point and al-lowed just one baserunner over his final four innings. That was plenty of time for Pittsburgh to get to Garza.
Alvarez hit a solo homer into the Milwaukee bull-pen behind the center field fence in the third to put the Pirates up 3-2 in the third.
Pittsburgh added on in the sixth, though it came at a price. Garza hit Pi-rates shortstop Jordy Mer-cer with a pitch while Mer-cer was attempting to bunt. He left with rib discomfort and was replaced by Jung Ho Kang, who scored along with Alvarez on a sharp sin-gle to left by Stewart.
TRAINER’S ROOMPirates: Pitcher Charlie
Morton will likely make one more start in an extended spring training game before a decision is made on when he could return to Pitts-burgh. Morton is recover-ing from hip surgery.
UP NEXT
Brewers: Milwaukee be-gins a weeklong homestand on Monday when it starts a four-game set against Cin-cinnati. The Brewers went 9-10 against the Reds last season and haven’t beaten Cincinnati in a season se-ries since 2006. Wily Peralta is 3-3 with a 2.88 ERA in six starts versus the Reds.
Pirates: Pittsburgh opens a four-game series with the Chicago Cubs on Monday. The Pirates are 14-6 against the Cubs over the last two seasons at PNC Park. A.J. Burnett (0-1, 2.25 ERA) gets the start. Burnett is 7-4 with a 3.25 ERA in 13 career starts against Chicago.
Jones throws two touchdowns in OSU spring gameCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— Already a statewide ce-lebrity after guiding Ohio State to three postsea-son wins and the national championship last season,
Cardale Jones made the most of his very first colle-giate start at home.
The senior-to-be com-pleted 19 of 42 passes for 304 yards and two touch-
downs to Corey Smith to lead the Gray to a 17-14 win over the Scarlet before a national spring-game record crowd of 99,391 at Ohio Stadium.
“It was pretty fun,” Jones said. “I hope I can carry it over to the fall.”
Jones also won a half-time quarterback chal-lenge. But he was far from perfect, throwing two in-terceptions and being sacked three times.
Coach Urban Meyer was enthused about what specific players did in 15 spring workouts, but not so much by how far the Buckeyes progressed.
“As I just told our play-ers is that we did not im-prove as a team. That was not a good team out there. As a team, that’s much worse than what you saw in January, obviously,” he said, referring to the Buck-eyes’ 42-20 win over Ore-gon in the College Foot-ball Playoff championship game. “But we did individ-ually get better.”
Defense dominated the spring game as the of-fenses were hampered by injuries. Erik Smith in-tercepted two passes and Nick Conner picked off a pass and forced a fumble for the Gray, while Joey Bosa, Adolphus Washing-ton and Donovan Munger had sacks for the Scarlet.
Many of the Buck-eyes’ top players did not see action because they are recovering from sur-gery or injuries, includ-ing tailback Ezekiel El-liott (hand), quarterbacks Braxton Miller (shoulder) and J.T. Barrett (broken ankle), wide receiver Mi-chael Thomas (groin) and several starting linemen.
The game, with tick-ets costing $5 for admis-sion and $15 for a reserved seat, was played under sunny skies with temper-atures in the 70s. The at-tendance surpassed the 95,722 at the 2009 spring game at Ohio Stadium, the previous high.
Jones, who took over af-ter Miller missed the sea-son and Barrett was hurt in the Michigan game, was off limits to tacklers and he passed on almost ev-ery down.
“Early, he was missing on a few things,” said of-fensive line coach and co-coordinator Ed Warinner. “He was just a little bit off early and then he got some rhythm and hit some big plays.”
Jones, who could have elected to go into the NFL draft but decided to return for his final year of eligibil-ity, hit Smith on a 58-yard scoring pass with a min-ute left in the half and then
won the game with a 37-yard throw to Smith with 3:43 remaining in the fi-nal period with a running clock.
Much of the action did not take place during the glorified practice. There was a circle drill before the game in which players squared off at midfield and attempted to block each other, with All-American defensive end Bosa bump-ing helmets with offensive tackle Taylor Decker.
A quarterbacks chal-lenge at halftime featured Jones and Barrett against former Buckeyes Heis-man Trophy winner Troy Smith, with Jones winning the distance competition with a 74-yard heave.
There were also races to determine if students could outrun the fastest Ohio State players (they could not, with Elliott edging Miller with the students far behind) and there was also a pushup contest featuring students at midfield.
Fourth-string quar-terback Stephen Collier tossed a 35-yard scoring pass to Terry McLaurin at the end of the half to cut the lead to 10-7.
Collier, who was 15 of 33 for 157 yards with three interceptions, f l ipped a shovel pass to Par-ris Campbell for a 3-yard touchdown on the last play of the third quarter.
Even the game had light moments. At one point in the first quarter, Tyvis Powell — Jones’ room-mate — intercepted one of Jones’ passes and re-turned it 38 yards before being run out of bounds by Jones. Powell then pre-tended to take a selfie while hugging his roomie.
“I said to myself, ‘I know he knows that I know what he’s doing,’” Powell said, laughing. “But he threw it anyway. So I had to show him why I was dad and he was son. So I picked him off.”
