When Brad Lavender re-turned to West Virginia Uni-versity as a nontraditional student in 2010, his love of Japanese culture led him to search for an on-campus Anime Club. After finding none, he decided to launch one of his own.
Now, more than two years later, the WVU Anime and Manga Club has more than a dozen consistent members.
Anime is the term for Japanese animation and ranges from animated tele-vision series to full-length feature films and has as many genres as live-ac-tion. Some are based on books and some on manga, which is a comic equivalent of Anime.
Many series that are li-censed for the U.S. have a dubbed voice track with English-speaking voices, but all U.S.-licensed series have English subtitles.
President Brad Lavender said because many of the club’s members are familiar with more popular shows,
the club tends to show less popular shows during their meetings.
“As a way to broaden our horizons, we tend to watch things from mid-popular down to obscure,” Laven-der said. “For the big stuff, if you want to see it, you can stream it online, or you may have a friend who has it. But on movie nights, anything goes.”
Vice President Kekoa Ta-itt said WVU Anime Club is a place where people with a unique but common hobby can come together.
“You don’t see many peo-ple with a hobby like Anime; its very rare to find people like that,” Taitt said. “So when I saw there were peo-ple like me in this club, I de-cided to come to a meeting.”
Taitt said he plans to keep the club alive and growing next year.
“I want to keep this go-ing next year, because a lot of people want a way and a place to express their enjoy-ment of Anime – it’s more fun than watching alone,”
“Little good is accomplished without controversy, and no civic evil is ever defeated without publicity.”THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Student wins NSF fellowshipby madison fleck
staff writer
Emily Lipscomb, a se-nior civil and environmen-tal engineering student at West Virginia University, has been awarded the 2013 National Science Founda-tion Graduate Research Fellowship.
The program recognizes outstanding graduate stu-dents in NSF-supported science, technology, engi-
neering and mathematics disciplines who are pursu-ing research-based mas-ter’s and doctoral degrees at accredited U.S. institutions.
“I first became interested in the fellowship when Dr. Jennifer Weidhaas encour-aged me to apply,” Lip-scomb said.
Weidhaas, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at WVU, is also the faculty advisor for the American
Society of Civil Engineers. She and Lipscomb first met in 2011 when Lipscomb was an officer in the stu-dent American Society of Civil Engineers.
“I think she was im-pressed with me after that, and she asked me to do a summer undergraduate re-search fellowship with her,” Lipscomb said.
After working together for two semesters, Wei-dhaas encouraged Lip-
scomb to apply for the NSF fellowship.
“Emily is one of the brightest students that I’ve worked with,” Weidhaas said. “She was just an excel-lent candidate for the fel-lowship, and sure enough, she was awarded it.”
Lipscomb will be awarded $30,000 for three of the five years it will take her to complete her grad-uate program. The money can go toward her tuition or
her research, and while she is still weighing her options, Lipscomb has a good idea of the kind of research she wants to do.
“One of the things I’m really interested in possi-bly working on is antibiotic resistance genes and how they act as pollutants in the environment,” she said. “We all use antibiotics, and you’ll flush extra prescrip-tion drugs that eventually end up in the sewers.
“If they’re not treated completely, they end up in rivers; so how can we deal with that in environmental systems?”
Lipscomb hasn’t decided where she will do her grad-uate work. She says she is currently considering WVU, Virginia Tech and the Uni-versity of Illinois.

Prom Perfect
by shelby toomPasstaff writer
In the heart of a college town, Chris-tian Help, a nondenominational and non-profit organization, is holding its third an-nual Prom Chic Boutique to provide the formal attire needed for a memorable night.
Since 1975, the United Way agency has been helping others through services such as the free store, career closet, food pantry, financial systems and more, but now that prom night comes at a higher cost, Christian Help is doing everything it can to make dreams come true.
“Our Prom Chic Boutique has been a huge success in previous years,” said Stephanie Shepard, Career Closet coordi-nator and Boutique organizer at Christian Help. “We have gently used and brand new, designer dresses, as well as shoes, jewelry and everything and anything girls need for prom.”
Shepard said the majority of dresses donated are from Coni & Franc located on High Street and Classic Bridal on Uni-versity Avenue, as well as a few individual contributors.
“This is my first year organizing the boutique, but I have heard stories and seen pictures from years previous, and seeing how great of a success it was in pre-vious years made me really excited to co-ordinate it this year,” she said. “By hold-ing this event, girls are welcome to find a dress, wear it to prom and keep it or do-nate it back for next year’s boutique.”
Even though the event is primarily for girls to find the perfect dress, there is also

Do you have what it takes to be a wild warrior?
The West Virginia Univer-sity Army ROTC will host the second annual Wild Warrior Challenge to discover who is tough enough.
“It’s a 5k adventure, ob-stacle race,” said Sergeant John Feiler, battalion Com-mander and professor of military science at WVU. “It’s kind of similar to the Tough Mudder or Spartan Race, although it’s not quite that intense.”
Feiler said the course will be built at Mylan Park – where the race will take place – exclusively by WVU Army ROTC cadets.
Racers will pay a $25 en-trance fee; however, 100 per-cent of the proceeds will go toward local veteran organi-zations in the community, something Feiler said sets the race apart from others.
“It’s something that gives directly back to the veterans
organizations here in the immediate area,” he said. “That’s kind of what’s unique about are race versus some of the others, all those are very strictly run for profit.”
Last year the race do-nated more than $4,000 for veterans in the community. Feiler said this year he hopes to raise the bar even higher.
This year proceeds will benefit Military Fam-ily Readiness Groups of Monongalia and Preston counties and Operation Welcome Home.
“Our target goal is 300 participants. I expect we will meet and exceed that,” Feiler said.
“Operation Welcome Home is a veterans assis-tance place. They provide a get-away essentially for lo-cal veterans, whether it be to meet with counselors, to hang out, to hold meet-ings or have a quite place to study... Then the other half will go to the Family

a limited selection of suits for boys.
“Boys would be able to find something here, but they would have to call ahead of time to make sure we have their size, since we have a limited selection,” she said. “So far we have about 10 people signed up, but we would love to have up to 50 people here to shop the boutique.”
Christian Help is cur-rently taking appoint-ments for Friday, from 2-5 p.m. and Saturday, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. However, if necessary, they will stay open later.
“We don’t restrict by
county; last year the major-ity of individuals came from Preston County,” she said. “I think Morgantown is not one of the lower socioeco-nomic counties in West Vir-ginia, so we definitely want to remain open and get the word out to other counties.”
Coni & Franc co-owner Connie Merandi said she and her husband, Frank, have been in business for 31 years and look forward to donating dresses to the Prom Chic Boutique each year.
Coni & Franc offers ev-erything from sports wear, shoes and accessories, ca-reer and interview cloth-ing, regular and cocktail dresses, everyday wear, evening wear, beauty pag-eants, homecoming, prom,
bridal dresses and much more, and they have sup-ported the Prom Boutique each year.
“Christian Help does a wonderful service for those young ladies whose families cannot afford to purchase a dress,” Merandi said. “This is one of those places where they can get a great dress, be able to go to the dance in something appropriate and have all the accesso-ries they need.”
Coni & Franc donates dresses and items that are of good quality but might have been either discontin-ued or been ready to mark down, to enhance the selec-tion that they can offer.
“Everyone at the Chris-tian Help is lovely. They are there to help, nurture
and give confidence so that these girls can go have a great experience at their prom,” she said. “These people have a pure heart, and they are there to serve the community, and this is just one way they can give ladies the opportunities to go to prom in style.”
Christian Help will also have limited gift certificates available for boutonnieres and corsages as well as for hair and makeup.
“Every girl deserves to feel like a princess at her prom, regardless of back-ground,” Shepard said.

Weidhaas said she is also very optimistic when it
comes to Lipscomb’s future.“I’m really happy that
Emily was awarded this fel-lowship because we don’t have enough women in en-gineering,” she said. “I know that she will really take ad-vantage of this opportunity and make the best of it.”

Taitt said.Club member Joshua
Burns, who joined the An-ime Club in November, said the community atmosphere is the reason he enjoys the club.
“Anime is a hobby that in the past I had enjoyed independently, but like with anything else, you kind of want to have a community of people you can share it with,” Burns said. “If you’re watch-ing a comedy you get to hear everyone else laugh – it’s a really fun and ca-
sual atmosphere. There are plenty of people that would probably judge us for having this hobby, but in here there is no judgment.”
The WVU Anime Club meets each Monday at 6:30 p.m. in room 225 of Brooks Hall. Next Wednesday the club will host a movie night
at 6:30 p.m. All club meet-ings and movie nights are open to any interested student.

obama says he’s ‘determined as ever’ for gun bill
HaRTFORd, Conn. (aP) — With time running out on the chance to pass gun con-trol legislation, President Barack Obama on Mon-day warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shoot-ing victims that he’s “de-termined as ever” to honor their children with tougher laws.
Obama’s gun control pro-posals have run into resis-tance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt. Efforts by Senate Democrats to reach compromise with Repub-licans over expanding re-quired federal background checks have yet to yield an agreement, and conserva-tives were promising to try blocking the Senate from even beginning debate on gun control legislation.
“The day Newtown hap-pened was the toughest day of my presidency,” Obama said in an emotional speech from Connecticut’s capital, an hour’s drive from New-town. “But I’ve got to tell you, if we don’t respond to this, that’ll be a tough day for me too.”
Some of the Sandy Hook families are making an at-tempt to push through the bill. Obama met with them privately before his speech at the University of Hart-ford Monday evening, then brought 12 family mem-
bers back to Air Force One for the trip back to Wash-ington. The relatives want to meet with senators who’ve yet to back the legislation to encourage their support in memory of their loved ones.
“Nothing’s going to be more important in mak-ing sure that the Congress moves forward this week than hearing from them,” Obama said. His eyes teared as he described Ni-cole Hockley, who lost her 6-year-old son, Dylan, say-ing how she asks him every night to come to her in her dreams so she can see him again.
“If there’s even one thing we can do to prevent a fa-ther from having to bury his child, isn’t that worth fight-ing for?” Obama asked.
Obama’s speech was in-terrupted repeatedly by standing ovations from the packed gymnasium. At one point, the room erupted with chants of “We want a vote!” Audience members, many wearing green rib-bons in support of the vic-tims, were stomping their feet on the bleachers and clapping their hands in uni-son with the chant.
“This is not about me. This is not about politics. This is about doing the right thing for all the families who are here who have been torn apart by gun violence,” Obama said, his voice rising with emotion as he shook
his finger in the air.Obama argued that law-
makers have an obligation to the children killed and other victims of gun violence to al-low an up-or-down vote in the Senate. That would re-quire 50 votes to pass, rather than a procedural maneuver some Republican senators are threatening to require 60 votes, potentially sinking the legislation.
“Some back in Washing-ton are already floating the idea that they may use po-litical stunts to prevent votes on any of these reforms. Think about that. They’re not just saying they’ll vote no on ideas that almost all Americans support. They’re saying they’ll do everything they can to even prevent any votes on these provisions. They’re saying your opinion doesn’t matter. And that’s not right.
Obama rode to the speech with Connecticut Gov. Dan-nel P. Malloy, who signed sweeping gun control leg-islation into law Thursday with the Sandy Hook fam-ilies standing behind him. But legislation in Washing-ton faces a tougher chal-lenge, as the nation’s mem-ories of the shooting fade with time and the National Rifle Association wages a formidable campaign against Obama’s proposals.
Majority Leader Harry Reid brought gun control legislation to the Senate
floor on Monday, though actual debate did not begin. He took the step after receiv-ing a letter from 13 conser-vative Republican senators including Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, saying they would use delaying tactics to try pre-venting lawmakers from beginning to consider the measure. Such a move takes 60 votes to overcome, a diffi-cult hurdle in the 100-mem-ber chamber.
The conservatives said the Democratic measure would violate the Second Amendment right to bear arms, citing “history’s lesson that government cannot be in all places at all times, and history’s warning about the oppression of a government that tries.”
Further underscoring the tough road ahead for the Obama-backed legisla-tion, a spokesman for Sen-ate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that the Kentucky Republi-can would join the filibus-ter if Reid tries to bring the measure to the floor.
Obama said the vote shouldn’t be about his leg-acy, but about the families in Newtown who haven’t moved on to other matters.
“Newtown, we want you to know that we’re here with you,” Obama said. “We will not walk away from the promises we’ve made. We are as determined as ever to do what must be done.
In fact, I’m here to ask you to help me show that we can get it done. We’re not forgetting.”
A group of Sandy Hook families originally planned to travel to Washington ear-lier on Monday, but the White House offered to give the families a ride so they could also attend Obama’s speech before their lobby-ing push. The White House lit up the steps of Air Force One with flood lights so photographers and televi-sion cameras could capture the image of Obama climb-ing the plane’s steps with the families at dusk.
Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose 6-year-old daughter Ana was among the victims at Sandy Hook, held up a sign that said “Love Wins” as she walked toward the steps of Air Force One.
The families’ lobby-ing trip was organized by Sandy Hook Promise, a non-profit started by community members in the wake of the shooting. “The group is en-couraging senators to come together around legislative proposals that will both save lives and respect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans,” the group said in a statement.
With time running out on negotiations, the White House is making an all-hands-on-deck push this week. Vice President Joe Biden and Attorney Gen-
eral Eric Holder planned to promote their plan at the White House on Tuesday with law enforcement of-ficials. First lady Michelle Obama planned to wade into the debate Wednes-day with a speech on youth violence in her hometown of Chicago. And on Thurs-day, Biden was taking part in a discussion on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” with people who have different views on gun control.
Organizing for Action, the grassroots group being formed out of Obama’s re-election campaign to sup-port his agenda, said it was launching online ads Mon-day asking the public to urge their senators to support background checks. The ads will target 11 senators – all Republicans – through Facebook and search en-gines. An OFA spokesman said the group was not dis-closing the cost of the ad campaign.
Gun control is divisive in Newtown, Conn., as in the rest of the country. Not all Sandy Hook families sup-port gun control, and even those involved with the lob-bying push organized by Sandy Hook Promise are not backing the assault weap-ons ban. But those families are asking lawmakers to ex-pand background checks, increase penalties for gun trafficking and limit the size of magazines.
ApPresident Barack Obama looks at Nicole Hockley and her husband Ian, right, after she introduced him at the University of Hartford in Hartford, Conn., Monday.
Readiness Groups of Monongalia and Preston counties. That will help (vet-erans) as they return home from Afghanistan.”
Feiler said he believes or-ganizations such as Oper-ation Welcome Home and Family Readiness Groups of Monongalia and Pres-ton counties are vital to the
community, and he is ex-cited for the opportunity to give back.
“When you look at the population of just West Vir-ginia University itself, there’s over 500 student veterans here. Then in the surround-ing community, the state of West Virginia always by na-ture has always been very much in pro support of its military and veterans,” he said. “It’s organizations like these that help veterans get
their foot in the door (upon coming home).”
Feiler said after a success-ful first year, he is excited to host the race a second time.
“Seeing the competition of it all. It was really enjoy-able last year. I worked ex-tensively on it , and I kind of took it from a bunch of stuff that was paper and turned it into something that became a reality,” he said. “The in-tent of the race is really to get the local community in-
volved, get people out to en-joy the weather and bring awareness.”
The event will take place Saturday, April 20 at Mylan Park. Following the race, there will a be a social for all competitors.
Participants must be 18 or older to register.

Stone Sour surpasses previous work with latest release
Few bands carry the tat-tered banner of quality, well-thought, radio-friendly hard rock in today’s musical cli-mate; even fewer bands do so with as much talent and success as Stone Sour has during the course of the band’s 11-year existence.
Originally formed in 1992, disbanded, and then re-formed to their current state as a side project by Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor, the group has evolved to the point where some say that the newest Slipknot reminds them of Stone Sour, rather than the opposite.
Undeniably, Stone Sour are aiming for their new-
est work, the double album “House of Gold & Bones,” to stand as the band’s magnum opus of sorts.
This kind of lofty expec-tation is evidenced through Taylor’s description of the totality of the two albums as being like Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” meets Alice in Chains’ “Dirt.”
If Taylor aimed any higher, he’d be living in the clouds. In the past few months, “House of Gold & Bones – Part 1” has garnered mostly positive reviews from blog-gers, journalists and fans.
Now, will “House of Gold & Bones – Part 2” live up to the hype?
Symbolically, matching their career trajectory, the album begins with a sol-emn piano passage which slowly builds with the addi-tion of strings and thump-
ing drums, setting things off with a bang. It’s a controlled explosion, though – a mas-terfully designed, brilliantly executed blast. Each band member is on his game on this one.
Taylor’s words are each sung with a mesmerizing level of conviction and at-tention to vocal subtleties that take his performance to a new level. He’s also at the top of his game lyrically, with not-so-subtle gems like “I’m an anti-everything, man; a scab on the lips of the lord.”
In truth everything has been taken to a new level. In terms of pure scope and vision, “Part 2” reminds me of general first impressions about another similarly con-ceptual album of the cur-rent generation, Green Day’s “American Idiot.”
Additionally, those ex-pecting the Pink Floyd comparison to be all hype will be surprised to learn that in terms of how the al-bum seamlessly shifts con-cepts and tells a great story, it is very much a valid comparison.
Not only does the al-bum contain some of Stone Sour’s heaviest material to date, but it also showcases some tunes that would rival the intensity of Slipknot.
Moments like the end of “Red City” and parts of “Peckinpah” actually lean more toward thrash and other genres that are more aggressive than Slipknot’s nu-metal aesthetic.
It’s all done in good taste, though. In addition these moments are infrequent enough that the group will not alienate mainstream lis-
teners who will latch on to at least a few of the band’s driv-ing and anthemic choruses crafted for radio airplay. Po-tential singles could include “Stalemate,” “Do Me a Fa-vor” and “Gravesend.”
Perhaps the album’s most impressive aspect is its suc-cess at providing the listener with a variety of listening experiences within a single package.
From the dance-beat drums on “Black John” to the eerie-yet-beautiful “Sa-dist,” the band shows they can execute just about any style with their high level of musicianship and songwrit-ing. Many hard rock albums suffer from a lack of writing ability, as albums will get boring or bogged down with filler tracks. With this record, you will never wonder how many tracks are left or how
much time is left in a song.It would be remiss not
to give praise to producer David Bottrill, whose stun-ning work creates some ex-tremely poignant chords with some of the most solid and full low-end sounds I’ve heard in a long while, all the while having the know-how to effectively dial things back and work with – rather than against – the band’s mallea-ble nature.
The bottom line here is that this is Stone Sour’s de-fining work.
It’s an album that doesn’t ask for your attention throughout; it demands it. They’ve not only crafted an album but an experience.
123 Pleasant Street hosts night of metal mayhem
Patrick Gorrell/tHe DailY atHeNaeUMSolomon’s Key plays to a rowdy crowd at 123 Pleasant Street Sunday night.
Sunday’s brutality-packed lineup went off without a hitch at 123 Pleas-ant Street.
Featuring metal outfits Reanimator, Disillusion Ef-fect, Solomon’s Key and Irukandji, the show aimed to please metalheads of all shapes and sizes, and it cer-tainly achieved that goal.
The evening’s main event, headliners Irukandji, introduced themselves to a
whole new audience, as this was their first time playing in West Virginia, let alone Morgantown or 123.
The Pennsylvania natives put on a high-quality per-formance that displayed their technical skill and their passion for all things heavy.
Their first impression treated them well; they ex-pressed an admiration for Morgantown’s musical climate.
“It’s nicer than it is at home; the crowd reaction was about the same, but it seems like there’s a bet-ter scene down here,” said
drummer Jagger Bush John.With influences like
Job For a Cowboy and The Black Dahlia Murder, the band deployed their furious brand of death metal to an eager and energized crowd.
Vocalist Josh Hogue dominated the stage with enough movement and hand gestures to match the band’s uber-spastic sound.
With his unique phras-ing of harsh vocals, Hogue added an extra dimension to the mix. Underneath his blood curdling shrieks, the instrumental corps dis-played great technical pro-ficiency while laying down
riff after menacingly good riff and a truckload of blast beats.
In addition bassist Josh Wade showed uncommon mastery of his instrument, as his fingers moved back and forth every bit as deftly as any guitarist.
Drummer Jagger Bush John also puts on a hell of a show from behind his kit, flipping his sticks around with all the frequency of a caffeinated Tommy Lee, while playing music with twice the required skill level.
The band put on this high-caliber performance
despite playing to a minia-ture Sunday-night crowd.
They later explained that they don’t change their ap-proach based on audience size.
“We act asinine what-ever we do; that’s the foun-dation of Irukandji right there,” Hogue said. “We like to have to have a good time.”
Undoubtedly a result of excellent performances like this one, the band is on their way up the metal ladder with more than 1,000 Face-book likes and new material on the way produced by the drummer of popular death core act Belie My Burial.
“We’re hoping to have a full-length [album] together by the end of this year,” Wade said. “We have about six or seven [new] songs put together.”
Irukandji plans to do more West Virginia shows in the future, so check them out next time they’re in town.
They’ve got the chops and the ambition to move up from the underground.
“I’d say the sky is the limit, but I don’t want to set my goals too low,” Wade said.

Last week marked an ominous anniversary for West Virginia.
It’s now been three years since a tragic explosion resulted in the deaths of 29 miners at the Up-per Big Branch mine in Mont-coal, W. Va.
Numerous investigations have concluded the explosion was the result of the coal mine operator’s neglect of safety regulations.
Unfortunately, our leaders have failed to take the necessary steps to ensure these crimes are
prevented, as accidents con-tinue to routinely take the lives of West Virginia’s coal miners even three years after this his-toric tragedy.
West Virginia currently has more coal mining deaths than any other state in the country for 2013, with several miners hav-ing been killed in the past few weeks alone.
Why hasn’t the state’s leader-ship learned from the mistakes of the past, including those that
led to the Upper Big Branch ex-plosion? When will they under-stand that if the coal companies are left to their own devices, they will cut corners on miner safety if it means increasing their prof-its, as they’ve demonstrated with their actions time and time again?
West Virginians should be asking their elected officials these questions.
It’s time our leaders cared less about being perceived as
friendly to the coal industry and more about the lives of the hard-working coal miners.
Until our leadership stands up to the coal industry, which has made billions on the backs of Appalachia’s hard-working coal miners whose lives they treat so dismissively, it’s only a matter of time before the next avoidable tragedy strikes at a West Virginia mine.
Remembering Upper Big Branch
gOVbOOKTALK.gPO.gOVTwenty-nine miners were killed after an explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine in the worst mining disaster since 1970.
In a C4SS op-ed on the Korean “crisis” (“I’m Already Against the NextWar, and You Should Be Too,” April 4), Tom Knapp wrote, regarding his negative impressions of North Korea:“most of what I think I know about it is really just what other governments choose to tell me. And those other governments routinely lie – to everyone, about ev-erything, day in and day out, as a matter of policy …”
The current war scare drummed up by the US government (and by cable news – if there’s any differ-ence) fully bears out Knapp’s skepticism.
Let’s take a closer look be-hind the official version of events in Korea over the past several decades:
The standard framing of the Korean War is an unam-biguous, unprovoked aggres-sion by the North, beginning with a sudden and massive invasion across the Demar-cation Line. But in fact the years leading up to the war featured constant cross-bor-der incursions by both sides, often involving thousands of troops.
The North Korean version of events was that the Seoul regime had conducted a large-scale artillery bom-bardment across the bor-der on the 23rd and 24th, fol-lowed by a surprise South Korean raid on the town of Haeju. The American mili-tary status report at nightfall June 25 said the North Ko-reans had captured all terri-tory three miles south of the Imjin River — except for the area of the “Haeju counter-attack.” John Gunther, in his biography of MacArthur, re-counts being informed by a high-ranking member of the American occupation on the 25th: “A big story has just bro-ken. The South Koreans have attacked North Korea!”
As war broke out, South Korean dictator Syngman
Rhee ordered the massa-cre of at least 100,000 leftist dissidents with the acquies-cence of the US military com-mand. The victims included tens of thousands of politi-cal prisoners imprisoned by Rhee in the preceding years. The regime emptied its pris-ons, lined up the prisoners and shot them, dumping their bodies into hastily dug trenches. US military officers were present at some of these mass killings; the US military actually photographed some of them.
By way of background, the Korean system of governance that had emerged in the vac-uum left by Japan’s 1945 withdrawal was a loose feder-ation of self-governing com-
munes, in which the large and influential Korean anar-chist movement played a ma-jor role. Soviet and American military authorities, in their respective spheres, quickly put an end to this.
The Americans, obviously suspicious of anarchists or leftists of any kind, encour-aged dispossessed aristo-crats to form a military re-gime which imprisoned by the tens of thousands the an-archists it had dispossessed and, in a few years’ time, took advantage of the war to fin-ish them off once and for all.
Fast forward to the pres-ent: Kim Jong Un’s threats of nuclear retaliation against American targets take place against the backdrop of large-
scale joint US-South Korean naval exercises inside North-Korean territorial waters. The US claims them as South Ko-rean waters based solely on a demarcation line unilat-erally drawn by the United States at the end of the Ko-rean War. The US-drawn line is not confirmed by any treaty or recognized by any international body. And by the normal standards for cal-culating territorial waters un-der international law, North Korea’s claims to the waters in which the exercises took place are entirely legitimate.
So, viewing events from outside the distorting ideo-logical prism of official US statements and their par-rots in the media, what re-
ally happened is that North Korea responded to an enor-mous provocation and a credible threat by warning of retaliation in the event of attack.
“OK,” you may be saying. “But even if all that stuff’s true, responding to an off-shore provocation in North Korean waters with bluster about nuclear targets in the US is kind of nuts, isn’t it?”
Well, it’s certainly im-moral. For one state to re-spond to another state’s mil-itary aggression by killing, or threatening to kill, its civilian population is monstrous.
And if it’s monstrous, it’s monstrous when any-one does it. It would also be monstrous if some purely
hypothetical country, the only country in the world with atomic weapons, used them to kill several hundred thousand civilians in two Japanese cities. It would be monstrous if some purely hy-pothetical country with hun-dreds of long-range bombers had had, as its official mili-tary policy, making first use of nuclear weapons and hit-ting every major popula-tion center in the USSR in retaliation for a conven-tional incursion into West-ern Europe.
The US government is a state. And lying – deliber-ately, shamelessly – when-ever it serves their interests is what states do. Don’t let mil-lions die for a lie.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year others find you to be exceptionally creative and a source of many new ideas, and they often seek you out for help. Your ef-forts are, and will be, more valued than you realize. If you are single, you open up to new possibilities. Unless you are willing to meet someone at least halfway, creating a bond could be difficult. If you are attached, honor the fact that it takes two to form and carry on a relationship. Your sweetie could need extra nurturing. A fellow ARIES might not have your imagina-tion, but he or she is fun to hang out with.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH The unexpected marks your actions, yet you also could be reacting to a parent or boss. Oppor-tunities come to you through conver-sations and from staying in contact with those in your immediate circle. Choose the right one for you. Tonight: As you like it.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HH Suddenly, you get it -- you under-stand what has been going on be-tween you and someone else. You can change your perspective, but of-ten you can’t control your knee-jerk reaction. That transformation will take time. Tonight: Make a small pur-chase on the way home.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You know what you want and where you are heading. The trick will be en-couraging others not to interfere with your set course. Even better would be to gain their support. You will have your hands full convincing an associate of the rightness of your
ways. Tonight: Make nice.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You are capable of dealing with the unexpected. Your mood swings de-pending on the situation. Know that how you feel now might change within a short period of time. Be care-ful, as a partner or an associate could become controlling. Tonight: In the limelight.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Seek out information that might not be readily available. Figure out why a situation is happening, beyond the obvious. Step back and observe, as you will be able to see more eas-ily. Know that a different approach is needed. Tonight: Join friends at a jam session.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Deal with others directly. People ap-preciate your time more than you re-alize. Pressure builds where you least expect it. Others have strong points of view that might not stand up to a creative idea. A boss gives you the au-thority you want. Tonight: Share your day with a pal.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH The unexpected occurs when deal-ing with others. You could decide that you don’t want any drama, but that is what you will get with your present circle of friends. Why not take this as a sign to detach? You can be present without being involved. Tonight: Take a favorite person out.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You’ll want to play it low-key, no mat-ter what goes on. Listen to others and what they are sharing. You have a strong sense of what is needed. Tune into one person and work together
to achieve more of what you both want. Tonight: Make sure you get some exercise.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Allow your creativity to flow, and you will make it through a difficult situation. Your innate reaction draws strong results. Do not become involved in a power play or difficult sit-uation. Others want to be around you, so let them. Tonight: Let the fun begin.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You might want to reassess a situation more carefully, especially as it can have quite an impact on your personal life. You might be more con-trolling than you realize, and it will draw in only negative reactions. Take some time to clear your head. To-night: At home.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Listen, but try not to over-whelm someone with questions. You could feel as if this person has pushed you beyond the call of duty. How you communicate that feeling will deter-mine the nature of your bond in the long run. You do need to say some-thing. Tonight: Kick up your heels.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might want to rethink a question involving your funds and security. Your impulsiveness could have given someone the wrong impression. You could want to change the situation. You also might be too generous for your own good. Tonight: Your treat.

The Voca People bring medleys to CAC
Kyle Monroe/THe DAIly ATHenAeUMThe Voca People, an a capella troupe, emulate the Evolution of Man Sunday night at the Creative Arts Center.
Mixing continuous med-leys with immediate crowd interaction, The Voca Peo-ple emitted rays of ener-getic a cappella Sunday night at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center.
Poppy yet original, the eight-person singing group donned all white outfits in order to strum together a
plot in which they repre-sented otherworldly aliens from the planet Voca and needed to refuel their spaceship with music to re-turn to their home planet.
Though the idea is inher-ently contrived, the audi-ence happily sat through the offbeat antics in favor of the musical numbers.
After touching audi-ence members and thereby downloading the entire history of popular music, each member of the troupe was able to shuffle through
years of top-40 songs and musical classics, moving fluidly from Ray Charles to Michael Jackson and spo-radically in between.
Each medley lasted five minutes or longer, and each contained the choruses to 10 or more songs, with no individual song in the med-ley lasting longer than 30 seconds. This rapid shifting kept the tempo upbeat and interesting, and it helped to make the performance in-credibly entertaining.
The medleys were
grouped according to genre and included a history of music, movies, Queen (the band) and love songs.
A steady compound of beat boxing kept the pace throughout the act, but sometimes the focus shifted a little too heavily upon the mouth-made snare drums and not enough on the vo-cal singing.
Between songs was a co-medic routine that chroni-cled run-of-the-mill alien interactions with humans and sometimes divulged
into mildly vulgar sexual innuendo. The show suf-fered a bit from the long pauses between numbers, though many enjoyed the humor of the performance.
“I was hoping for very much of the comedy that they put on,” said Rebecca Shriver, a senior child de-velopment student at WVU. “We were able to watch them on YouTube a few times before we came to the show, so it kind of gave us a gist of what it would be like, but I really liked how they would interact with the audience.”
Shriver was seated in the front row along with her boyfriend. They pur-chased tickets as soon as they found out The Voca People were performing, and to their enjoyment they were used as props during the show for the en-semble to interact with.
Shriver was one of only a handful of students in the crowd, as the heavy major-ity of the attendees came from around the commu-nity and not the classroom.
“It was really surpris-ing how few students were here,” said Kelly Cuth-
bert, a senior occupational therapy student. “I mean, I know it’s not Blink-182 or anything, but I was still sur-prised there weren’t more students.”
The audience largely seemed like the type of people who watch “Amer-ica’s Got Talent” every week, and it would not be a surprise if some of the concertgoers were frequent voters. They filled the Ly-ell B. Clay Concert Theater, save for the last six rows, which were designated empty.
After an hour and a half, The Voca People fi-nally sang enough musical numbers to get the power to their spaceship back, and they closed the per-formance with the inter-national hit “We Are the World” and a few accom-panying encores.
With such a bland plot, it would be hard to push more than two hours into the show, but The Voca People was still a delightful experience filled with pow-erful vocals and a unique take on musical mash-ups.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jay-Z is bringing the “Made in America” music festival back to Philadelphia.
The rapper posted a teaser video on his “Life and Times” website Mon-day that showed footage from last year. It says this year’s festival will again take place on Labor Day weekend - Aug. 31 and Sept. 1.
The lineup will be re-vealed at noon Wednes-day on the digital music streaming website Spotify.
Last year’s festival was the first of its kind for the entrepreneurial Jay-Z, who is married to super-star Beyonce and owns a music management com-pany, fashion line, night-club and restaurant. He also has a stake in the Brooklyn Nets.
About 40,000 people
attended each of the two days of the 2012 “Made in America” on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in front of the Philadelphia Mu-seum of Art.
More than two dozen acts performed on three stages, one of which was near the museum steps made famous in the film “Rocky.” The eclectic lineup chosen by Jay-Z in-cluded Skrillex, D’Angelo, X, Janelle Monae, Cal-vin Harris, Pearl Jam, The Hives, Run DMC, Odd Fu-ture and Drake.
City officials said the festival generated at least $10 million in economic impact for the city and cov-ered all municipal costs as-sociated with the event.
The teaser video says “Made in America” will again be sponsored by Budweiser.

The Enigma that is Aaric
MurayIf you weren’t already
aware, this year’s college basketball season was sup-posed to be Aaric Murray’s final campaign toward a po-tential selection in the 2013 NBA draft.
The towering, athletic cen-ter, who originally transferred from La Salle and sat out the entire 2011-12 season in or-der to get a chance to play for the legendary Bob Huggins in Morgantown, was look-ing toward an impressive de-but that he hoped would al-low him to bypass his senior year of college basketball and enter his name into the NBA draft.
It really wasn’t that far-fetched of a scenario initially, as Murray had recorded 13.2 points and 7.2 rebounds a game (including 15.2 points and 7.7 rebounds in his soph-omore season) for La Salle through his first two colle-giate seasons, while nearly setting a new school record with 143 career blocks in just those two years.
So the numbers made it seem as if it wouldn’t neces-sarily be a stretch to assume that with Murray’s inher-ent talent and ability cou-pled with the fact that he’d have a full season under the 700-win Huggins to even fur-ther polish that ability, that WVU would be more or less a pit stop for the Philadel-phia-native on his way to the Association.
In fact, Huggins has even publicly remarked recently that there was an under-standing of sorts in place be-tween himself, the WVU ad-ministration and Murray’s “people,” that Murray would almost certainly only be stick-ing around for the 2012-13 season before bolting for the draft.
However, as West Virginia fans are already all too famil-iar with, things didn’t go to plan for Murray or the Moun-taineers this season.
Murray’s numbers ac-tually fell across the board. He averaged nearly half of the amount of points scored (8.8) in his first year at West Virginia, than his sophomore season at La Salle (15.2), his rebounds dropped by almost two full rebounds a game and he had nearly one less block a game.
So obviously it had to have been a bit of disappointment for both parties, but 2012’s shortcomings don’t neces-sarily mean the struggles will continue for either Murray or the Mountaineers in regards to 2013-14.
Murray has since been humbled tremendously. He must by now have real-ized that he simply isn’t yet ready to make the jump to the next level and that returning to school to be coached un-der Huggins as a senior will only help him become a bet-ter player.
I also think he most likely possesses a much better understanding that, even

West Virginia to take a break from Big 12 play, will face Ohio State Tuesday

by kevin hookerSportS writer
The West Virginia baseball team will look to end its two-game losing streak today, as it will travel to Co-lumbus, Ohio, for a game against Ohio State.
The first pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m., and live results and a recap following the game can be found at WVUsports.com.
The Buckeyes, although No. 5 in the Big 10 Conference, have an overall record of 19-10, while the Mountaineers recent slide drops their record to 17-15 and 4-5 in Big 12 conference play.
“We’re starting to hit the meat of our schedule,” said head coach Randy Mazey prior to last week-
end’s series against Baylor. “It’s go-ing to start to get tougher against good teams on the road.”
West Virginia ended its eight-game win streak to Baylor last weekend, losing its games Satur-day and Sunday. The Mountaineers defeated Baylor 9-8 Friday but lost by a combined score of 19-1 in their two losses.
In their 11-1 loss Sunday, the Mountaineers gave up nine earned runs in the bottom of the second inning. West Virginia scored their only run of the game in the fourth inning, as junior Ryan McBroom hit his team leading seventh home run of the season. McBroom and des-ignated hitter Matt Frazer are No. 2 and No. 3 in home runs in the con-ference, respectively.
Left fielder Jacob Rice, who’s been competing for the top batting average in the Big 12 Conference all season, batted just 1-for-16 over the weekend, dropping his .355 bat-ting average to No. 10. Third base-man Ryan Tuntland ranks No. 7 in the conference, hitting .368 from the plate. The team batting aver-age also dropped below .300 for the first time this season.
Despite their recent offensive woes, Mazey isn’t concerned head-ing forward.
“We’re not shocked (offen-sively),” Mazey said. “We knew go-ing into (the season) that our of-fense was probably going to be the strength of our team. Any guy who steps to the plate is very capable of carrying us through a weekend.”
The rough defensive weekend for the Mountaineers, which gave up a combined 38 hits, 27 runs and three errors against the Bears, dropped the team ERA to second-worst in the conference at 4.14.
The Buckeyes dropped two of their three games last weekend against conference rival Minne-sota and were scoreless in their two losses. The Ohio State offense, which has been its bright spot all season, has scored just six runs in its last five games.
The Mountaineers are right back at it Wednesday, as they’ll be returning to Morgantown for a 6 p.m. game against Youngstown State.

race for starting quarterback tight
mel moraes/the Daily athenaeumFord Childress, left, throws during a spring practice as Paul Millard stands and watches.
by MiChael CarvelliSportS eDitor
For his first two seasons in Morgantown, Paul Millard’s role was set in stone.
He was Geno Smith’s backup and got the opportu-nity to learn from the three-year starter while spending some time mastering the West Virginia offense.
Now, as Smith prepares to likely be the first quarterback taken in this year’s NFL draft, Millard and redshirt fresh-man Ford Childress are neck and neck fighting it out to see who will take over as the Mountaineers’ signal caller when the team steps on the field for the first time in 2013.
But neither quarterback has been able to separate from the other so far during spring practice.
“They’re learning,” said offensive coordinator Shan-non Dawson. “We’re not there yet. I think everybody understands we’re not there yet. We’re dealing with kids who are inexperienced.”
Much like most of the other positions on the WVU
offense this fall, the quarter-back position will have very little in-game experience to go off to determine who should get the job.
As a true freshman, Chil-dress redshirted and didn’t play, while Millard appeared in 11 games during his first two seasons at WVU.
In the 2012 season, he completed nine of his 19 at-tempts with two touchdowns and an interception. But Mil-lard said he’s starting to get more comfortable now that he has been getting to re-ceive reps with the first team in practice.
“The first two years I hadn’t been getting the reps that I’ve been getting now,” he said. “Just having the op-portunity to get reps and to pass and run the offense and to see the offense from the sidelines, I think it definitely helps for anybody to watch and learn.
“It’s nothing that I can’t handle. When I came to West Virginia, I knew what was going to be thrown at me ... (Now that Smith is gone) somebody else is go-
ing to take the reins, and I’m just working hard each and every day to be that person.”
While Millard and Chil-dress are in competition for the same job, the junior said that it’s been a friendly bat-tle during camp. Still, the two know the prize that’s at stake, and they know what they need to do to take care of that task at hand.
“We both understand what’s at hand and that the best guy is going to play,” Mil-lard said. “We’re both here to win games, and we want great things to happen for this University and for this football program.”
With all of the weapons the Mountaineers lost of-fensively and the struggles that took place on the de-fensive side of the ball a year ago, expectations are much lower for WVU coming into this season. That underdog mentality is something Mil-lard likes.
It’s a role the undersized, under-recruited quarterback has been used to playing his entire career. And he’s using it now to help him try to win
the job.“It’s a good thing, to be
honest,” he said. “We’ll prob-ably be picked last (in the Big 12 Conference); we’re the underdogs now.
“You just have to have a chip on your shoulder be-cause nobody expects any-thing from you, but we all expect high things out of ourselves and out of this team ... I like being the un-derdog, I always have.”
But for now, Dawson and the rest of the coach-ing staff will be looking for Millard or Childress to step up and show they have what it takes to lead the way for this young, inexperienced offense.
“I don’t know if I have ever been 100 percent pleased with any quarterback,” Daw-son said. “They are not where they need to be right now.
“They still make inexpe-rienced mistakes every day and the only way you correct that is with reps. There has never been a quarterback race more even than them.”
though he stands 6-foot-10 at nearly 250 pounds, noth-ing is going to be handed to him, not by Huggins and es-pecially not by NBA scouts and executives.
Another thing working in Murray’s favor looking toward the future is the fact he’ll also be yet another year older next season, which never seems like a lot initially, but even when you’re talking about a kid who will turn 24 this July, there is still a tremendous amount of mental growth and maturity occurring at that age. Murray, who was notably flustered and emo-tional on a number of occa-sions on the court this season for the Mountaineers, would be one of the biggest benefac-tors from another year of this growth.
But it’s Mountaineers who will also ultimately benefit.
Because now, West Vir-ginia will get a chance to reap some of the rewards from Murray’s development un-der Huggins in 2012 and dur-ing the upcoming offseason.
Murray will also be looked upon to provide integral, ex-perienced leadership in the paint and just on the floor in general. This would be fa-vorable to the Mountaineers, who lost senior bigs Domi-nique Rutledge and Deniz Kilicli to graduation and the 6-10, 240 pound sophomore Volodymyr Gerun to a trans-fer following this season.
Murray showed flashes at points last year, including an inspired effort in the Moun-taineers’ final home game that left many scratching their heads wondering where that play was the rest of the year. The point is that he’s already shown he’s certainly physi-cally capable of making a sig-nificant impact in a college basketball game.
If he can just continue to mature and develop a consis-tent mindset to pair with his obvious physically abilities, Aaric Murray could be more than a minor contributor or role player on next year’s West Virginia team. In fact, with the right work ethic and mindset, there’s no reason he couldn’t actually be its best player.

Rutgers reviewing all sports practice videosTRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Rut-
gers officials are scrutinizing practice videos of all sports to see if any coach engaged in behavior like the type that cost men’s basketball coach Mike Rice his job, the uni-versity president announced Monday. The inquiry into Rice and how university of-ficials responded is also go-ing deeper as the school an-nounced that it plans to hire a consultant to conduct an independent review.
University President Rob-ert Barchi, speaking Monday during a town hall meeting on the school’s Newark cam-pus, said that he wants any instances of bullying or ho-mophobic language to be re-ported immediately.
He also reiterated that he wished he had viewed the video where Rice – whom Gov. Chris Christie on Mon-day called an “animal” – shoved players and called them gay slurs when it first surfaced in November, say-ing he would have fired Rice then.
Rice was fired last week only after the video became public. Athletic Director Tim Pernetti, an assistant basket-ball coach and the universi-ty’s top lawyer also resigned last week, while some Rut-gers faculty members and others called for Barchi to step down, too.
Meanwhile, Christie on Monday defended Barchi’s performance while blasting Rice’s behavior. He also crit-icized the reaction of those who knew about it and did not fire the coach months ago, when the video was given to university officials and viewed by – at least – Athletic Director Tim Per-netti, university interim counsel John Wolf and Mark Hershhorn, the chairman of the university Board of Gov-ernors’ athletics committee.
“They were wrong not to come to the conclusion that Coach Rice needed to be fired immediately,” Christie said at a news conference.
Hershorn’s lawyer, Jenni-fer Joseph, said the governor is wrong about Hershorn. Hershorn immediately
called for Rice to be fired af-ter he saw the video in De-cember, she said, declining to say where he made the recommendation.
While the governor had is-sued statements previously, it was the first time Chris-tie took questions about the scandal at the state’s flag-ship public university. The Republican governor added that had he been aware of the issues earlier he would have used his “power of per-suasion” to try to get Rice fired then.
He said he viewed the video not only as a gover-nor but as the father of a col-lege athlete. His son Andrew plays baseball at Princeton.
“You’re talking about kids being miserably treated by the guy who determined whether they keep their scholarship or not,” Chris-tie said. He said the video cost the coach his credibil-ity with young athletes and their families.
“What parent would let this animal back into their living room to try to recruit their son after this video?” he said.
Christie said it was a mis-take for Barchi, who took office in September, not to watch the video last year when he first was told about it. But he said leaders of large organizations must delegate some matters and that the mistake was not a firing offense.
It was Pernetti’s job to know what the coach was
doing, Christie said. Accord-ing to a settlement the uni-versity provided to The As-sociated Press on Monday, Pernetti is receiving $1.25 million as he departs, along with perks ranging from health insurance for more than two years to a $12,000 annual car allowance until next year and his university-issued iPad.
Rutgers announced Mon-day that it was commis-sioning an independent re-view of Rice’s conduct and the way the university re-sponded to it. The board of governors will meet Thurs-day to discuss that.
Also Monday, board chairman Ralph Izzo said that one board member – Hershhorn – had seen the video in December and that it was not shown to other members. The topic of the coach’s conduct was discussed at a committee meeting in December, but it was not discussed at the whole-board meeting that month.
Joseph, Hershorn’s law-yer, said he voiced his con-cerns about what he believed was “abusive and demean-ing” behavior “quickly, re-sponsibly and diligently.”
Before hearing Her-shorn’s account, state Senate President Stephen Sweeney called on the board mem-ber to resign. “Any trustee or member of the board of governors who witnessed the tape at any point before it was publicly aired, and
took no action, should be removed or resign immedi-ately,” he said in a statement.
The scandal has prompted the FBI to investigate whether a former Rutgers basketball employee asked for money from Rutgers in exchange for not taking the videos public, a person fa-miliar with the investigation told The Associated Press on Sunday.
Asked about the FBI in-quiry on Monday, Barchi said the agency wasn’t called but came “on their own.”
As the investigations mount, Christie said he did not believe that state law-makers should have an in-quiry of their own, saying Rutgers is investigating and that holding hearings would “continue reputational dam-age” to the school.
Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, who has called for hearings said “the taxpayers, students, faculty, adminis-trators, parents, alumni and other constituents” deserve to know what happened.
Meanwhile, Rutgers is turning to former dean Carl Kirschner to run its athletic department on an interim basis while it conducts a search for someone to take the job permanently.
It’s the second time that Kirschner will run the pro-gram. He took over at the start of 2009 after Robert Mulcahy was fired, and held the role for four months, stepping down when Per-netti took over.
