Alumni, students look back on Mutt’sBy Megan Calderado
staff writer
When West Virginia Uni-versity announced it would be purchasing 39 properties in the Sunnyside area ear-lier this year, it didn’t take long for students to realize not only would houses be demolished, but so would Mutt’s Sunnyside Pub.
Mutt’s had been in Mor-gantown for decades,
and until last month, it was the only bar still re-maining in the Sunnyside neighborhood.
Last week, demolition crews tore down the bar, along with other hous-ing units in the block of properties.
St u d e nt s i m m e d i -ately took to social me-dia to voice their opinions about the University’s pur-chase and demolition of
Mutt’s using the hashtag #savemutts.
Alumnus and former Mutt’s patron Dan Shren-sky said during the early ‘80s when he was a student at WVU, the legal drinking age was 18.
“We would go up to Mutt’s and shoot pool pretty much all night,” Shrensky said. “I actually got kicked out twice, but I just kept go-ing back, because I always
had fun.”Until its closing, Mutt’s
continued to offer custom-ers free pool.
Shrensky also said there was a smoking apparatus in the back of the bar called “Puff-n-Snuff ” for non-drinking customers who were just looking to hang out.
During his time at WVU, Shrensky said Mutt’s also offered friendly specials
such as a spaghetti dinner each Sunday – something he believed made all pa-trons feel welcomed.
“On Fridays, it was called TGIF, and everyone would just barhop down Sunny-side,” Shrensky said. “But eventually, Sunnyside got cleaned up more and more, and stuff became centered downtown.”
Eric Felicetti, a senior student and former Mutts
patron, said he’s lived in Sunnyside for three years and feels at home in Sun-nyside, and Mutt’s contrib-uted to that atmosphere.
“Mutt’s was the last bar in Sunnyside, so now there’s nothing left,” Feli-cetti said. “I’m heartbro-ken pretty much.
“The best memories were just walking in at 1:30 in the morning and seeing
Fourth annual Diversi-Tea to feature talk, teaBy Cody sChuler
managing editor
As technological inno-vation continues to perme-ate today’s culture, the West Virginia University Division of Diversity, Equity and In-clusion is hosting the fourth annual Diversi-Tea Thurs-day to remind everyone that sometimes a cup of tea is a better way to get to know someone than a cell phone.
David Fryson, chief di-versity officer at West Vir-ginia University, said the event is an effective way to bridge cultural gaps and promote understanding in
an enjoyable way.“The Diversi-Tea is an
enjoyable event whereby we celebrate one aspect of the richness of our cultural diversity,” he said. “Many times, something as simple as tea can be used as an il-lustration of how we are a part of a world community.
“We invite everyone to come and participate.”
International students from Afghanistan, China, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Tur-key will operate booths from which they will serve tea and other traditional delicacies from their home countries.
Sharon Mallow, program coordinator for the Division of Diversity, Equity and In-clusion, said the Diversi-Tea event allows students to share their culture with oth-ers in a unique and fun way.
“It’s so nice, because you get to taste all the teas, and the students are shar-ing about their country and answering questions about what they do and how they do it,” she said.
“In the three years that we’ve done this, we’ve had so many people come up to us and tell us, ‘we’ve never been to an event like this.’”
The event also serves
as a platform to recognize groups and individuals who have shown exceptional promotion of understand-ing and inclusion in the University community. Selected individuals and groups will be presented with awards and recognized at the event.
Additionally, a skit titled, “Teas Past, Teas Present” will further expand on the role of tea as a way to bridge the cultural divide. The per-formance will feature two parts set more than 60 years apart, with a narrator interjecting and providing

amnesty day offers Id
replacementsBy jaCoB Bojesson
correspondent
If you’ve lost, damaged or simply hate the way you look on your Mountaineer Card, today is the day to re-place it.
The Mountaineer Card Amnesty Day will take place from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Mountainlair com-mons area.
Students and employ-ees will have the opportu-nity to replace a damaged card for free and a lost card for $10, versus the nor-mal $10 and $20 charged, respectively.
Even if the card is in per-fect condition, it can be re-placed to ensure a longer lifespan.
“This is your opportu-nity to get a free new card,” said Tami Stalnaker, pro-fessional technologist for WVU Student Affairs. “Of-ten, the magnetic strip is worn out, so it might look fine, but you can have trou-ble swiping the card.”
The only requirement to get a new card for free is that the old one is turned in and the picture is updated.
“This gives students an
opportunity to update their photo,” Stalnaker said. “The photo you took as fresh-man looks nothing like the senior photo, so this gives students the chance to get a new photo, and that’s go-ing to be a requirement.”
The event will also pro-mote My Mountaineer Card, an online portal where students can man-age their Mountie Bounty and keep track of all trans-actions and swipes.
“You can check all of your transactions,” Stal-naker said. “It will give you a list of when you’ve swiped your card to get in the door or to buy a coke or to get into a basketball game.”
Students with lost or stolen cards can also re-port them missing on the website.
Students can update their balance and sign up to get free reminders via text or email when their balance is running low.
“It’s been around, but I think we’ve had some trouble getting the word out,” Stalnaker said. “It’s a
Photographer’s work addresses economic,
cultural shifts in Mass.By ashley tennant
staff writer
Professional photogra-pher and educator Mary-beth Meehan gave a pre-sentation about her recent project “City of Champi-ons,” a selection of prints she photographed and transformed into pub-lic art in Brockton, Mass., Tuesday evening in White Hall,
Her work addresses is-sues in culture, immigra-tion, change and the re-sulting emotions.
Meehan was born and raised in Brockton, but as she got older and moved away from her home-town, she realized things there changed drasti-cally, both culturally and economically.
“City of Champions” was her personal project not only to understand the transformation her
hometown endured, but to allow others to under-stand change can repre-sent something deep and inspirational.
Meehan collaborated with the city of Brockton to hang banners on public buildings of photographs she captured of the diver-sity within the city. Soon after, local students did the same.
“I knew that my home-town had changed a lot since I left it 25 years be-fore, and I wanted to go back with my camera and understand what had hap-pened,” she said. “Also, to try and understand the newness – the new land-scape, the new economic landscape and the new so-cial cultural landscape.”
Meehan said even af-ter years of being a jour-nalist, sometimes she still gets a little nervous

Mountaineer Country Gun Sales, Ice Cream offer unique ‘double dip’By KaIty WIlson
staff writer
Guns and ice cream may not be the most obvious combination for a country store, but for Mark and Teresa Walsh, it’s a match made in heaven.
The couple opened Mountaineer Country Gun Sales and Mountain-eer Country Ice Cream five years ago.
Mark Walsh had owned the once-vacant lot, along Point Mar-ion Road, and across from their home for several years, and after some inspiration from his father, Walsh and his wife Teresa decided to build and open up the store.
“Teresa always wanted an ice cream shop,” he said.
So the couple combined all the things they love and created their large Mom-and-Pop-style store.
“We wanted to break the trend,”
Mark said. “We wanted to get away from the commercialized businesses.”
Mountaineer Country Gun Sales and Mountaineer Country Ice Cream sells Hershey’s ice cream soft serve, shakes, slushies and sun-daes with several different kinds of cones for the ice cream including waffle cones, pretzel cones, M&M cones and more. They also offer burgers, hot dogs and pastries.
Adjacent to the ice cream shop is the gift shop, and the back of the store houses the sporting goods section.
The gift shop contains knick-knacks of all kind including animal figurines, dream catchers, coffee mugs and more.
A cow holding a wine bottle, a squirrel holding salt and pepper shakers and bears holding a sign that reads, “Wipe Yer Paws” are just some of the unique goods found in

the Walshes’ country store. Teresa Walsh, who said
she spends nearly 12 hours each day at the store, said the community really took off with the idea of the coun-try store.
“It’s fun to do all of it,” she said. “A guy can say he wants to go look at guns, and his wife can browse the gift shop.
“It has something for ev-eryone to look at.”
The outdoor sporting goods section contains walls of hunting guns, ammo,
knives, crossbows, fishing poles, live bait, rods, reels and more.
The Walshes said they see no need to make the drive to a sporting goods chain store when they carry many of the same products.
According to the couple, many people even find things in their store they had a diffi-cult time finding elsewhere.
Mark, who also works a full time job at a phar-maceutical company, said he strives to help his customers as much as he can.
“If there is something they want, and we don’t have it, I
will order it for them,” he said. “We really try to maintain a friendly atmosphere and the old-fashioned values of business.”
This summer, the cou-ple said they expect shop-pers and ice cream lovers to be found enjoying ice cream cones on the benches and rocking chairs in front of Mountaineer Gun Sales and Mountaineer Country Ice Cream.
As strong supporters of the local community, the Walshes said they would be more than happy to welcome anyone from the WVU com-munity to come and check out their country store.
Mountaineer Country Gun Sales and Mountaineer Country Ice Cream is located at 659 Point Marion Road.

“It’s just like a bank card where students can track and reconcile their charges,” Twigg said.
Most of the described
features are available on smartphones.
“Times are changing,” Twigg said. “It’s the tech-nology age.
“Everything before was done by hardware and pa-per, and that’s less efficient.”
He said this was one ma-jor motivator for My Moun-taineer Card’s shift to the web.
“We see the how the
world is changing and all the feedback we’re getting,” Twigg said. “It all comes down to student service, and that’s what we’re here for.”

commentary in between.Mallow said though the
event does feature presen-tations, one of the best parts about it is simply meeting new people and talking with one another.
“We allow people to min-
gle with one another,” she said.
“We don’t just occupy the whole time with talk-ing from the platform – be-cause that’s the whole point. If you’re going to sample teas and then you’re meet-ing with people and kind of getting to meet new people, it’s nice to have the ability to do that.”
Diversi-Tea will take place Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ball-rooms. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome to attend.

like, 75 people you’ve seen before,” Felicetti said. “You didn’t have to know all of their names, but it just felt so homey.”
During the past four years Felicetti said he’s had dozens of friends visit, and he took each of them to Mutt’s.
He said he also particu-larly liked the bartenders and the manager, George.
“George is like a legend.
Everyone who’s ever been there knows him,” Felice-tti said. “They had the best bartenders in town, too.
“They treated every-one the same, whether you were a regular or it was your first time there, and they even said hi to you around
campus.”Felicetti attended Mutt’s
closing night, where he said the love for the establish-ment was obvious.
“It was on a Monday night and rainy – not the ideal bar night,” he said. “But it was still the longest
line ever. “It was at least an hour
and a half wait in the rain, but people didn’t care.”
In October, WVU an-nounced its plans for Uni-versity Place, a $70 million public-private partnership that will house more than
800 students. Following demolition,
crews will begin to pre-pare the land and lay foundation.
University Place is slated to be complete by fall 2014.

talking to strangers. “I was walking down
a street I hadn’t been on since I was in the march-ing band in 1985, and I thought, ‘I am not leav-ing until a take a picture,’” she said. “It’s scary, those of you who are students who are doing projects,
you never lose that fear or those butterflies, ‘Can I do this?’ It’s hard.
“I started to see that even though Brockton had declined, that the decline was about the economic shift,” she said.
“What I was realizing was not that these weren’t the people who were the problem who were ruining the place, but the place was getting knocked around
by these bigger global forces.”
Meehan said she went into a neighborhood she previously never would have entered because her parents taught her it was a place filled with drugs and crime.
“Within those pockets of dysfunction were these families just trying to make it,” Meehan said.
Meehan said she com-
pared the new Brockton to the one she remembered from so long ago.
“One of my things about Brockton became this idea of contradiction of new lives trying to embroider a very distressing landscape, so I always try to look for pictures that convey that,” she said.
“So, trying to suss out the perception of violence from the reality – it’s really
very difficult, but it’s sort of our job as journalists and storytellers to really con-front a place directly to try to create a narrative of what we actually find.”
She encouraged the stu-dents to work on projects they truly cared about – not ones they felt pressured to do.
“Students should choose projects that they really care about. (Something)
that they’re interested in discovering about their community and work re-ally hard and not get dis-couraged,” she said. “I en-courage everyone to find new vantage points and new ways of turning the people around you inside out so you can understand them and get as many per-spectives as possible.”

Underground sound: The newest releases in underground music
The Black Angels’ “Indigo Meadow” is not as far a de-parture from their previous four records as it may appear. The Texas-based, psych-rock quartet is known for their dark lyrics and anti-war themes, and while at first listen, it may sound as if lead singer Alex Maas has found a new ro-mantic interest, this album is far from mellow and bright.
The title and lead track “Indigo Meadow” is an indul-gently sexual song, and this early blast of psychedelic love may be responsible for concealing the gravity and inten-sity that brings this record back down to earth for the next twelve songs.
The unfortunately topical single “Don’t Play with Guns” was written only days before the shootings in Aurora, Colo., and its searing warnings of the dangers associated with firearms falling into the wrong hands echoed even louder when it was finally released in January. The distor-tion and aggressive guitar that have for so long defined the band are symbolically juxtaposed against the melodic har-monies and chorus lines that distinguish this album from their earlier work. The eerie organ and heavy bass line in “Holland” recall the band’s pseudo-European frame of mind. A song of longing and lamentation, “Holland” re-inforces the band’s association with the disenfranchised and theologically oppressed night-walkers.
Ever true to their Velvet Underground influence, “The Day” sounds only to be missing the soft vocals of Nico and the glowing ring of a few bells to complete the tribute. The poppy “You’re Mine” is deceptively dark and may actu-ally be the most lyrically unsettling song on the album. Fuzzed-out and seductive, this track may very well tell the tale of a relationship ending in cannibalism.
“Broken Soldier” is perhaps the most blatantly anti-war song on the album, as the pounding bass drum seems to be counting off the conflicted soldier’s last seconds of in-nocence: “It’s hard to kill when you don’t know which side you’re on.” 1970s-esque distortion and trailing vocals com-plete Maas’ dramatic imagery.

The Cave Singers are back and have brought with them a new band member. Bassist Morgan Hender-son (formerly of The Blood Brothers and Fleet Foxes) affords the band more flexibility and a more com-plete, “mature” sound than what fans have enjoyed from their previous three releases. The Seattle folk-rockers maintain their endearing charisma and prove as relatable as ever on this spring’s “Naomi.”
Released on Jagjaguwar, The Cave Singers have named this album after a “fictional muse” who em-bodies the hope and growth emerging from a cold and mundane winter of addiction, moving away, ag-ing and spiritual ambiguity.
On “Shine,” lead singer Pete Quirk celebrates the arrival of spring and emancipation from the “dark-ened mornings” of a chaotic past life. The folky dagger “Evergreens” is paired best with some of the band’s older songs, a sort of continuation of the wandering and wondering that always finds shelter in Quirk’s lyrics.
“Northern Lights” could almost pass as a Neil Young cover and showcases the band’s passion and aptitude for storytelling that’s best narrated over smoky rock ‘n’ roll.
Quirk’s dry-ice vocals (and occasional harmon-ica) keep The Cave Singers’ sound more balanced than ever, while Derek Fudesco’s slyly powerful gui-tar dares drummer Marty Lund to take the anxious rhythm even further, majestically finding solace in the changing seasons and rejuvenation of “Naomi.” Like a spontaneous adventure across a winter’s high seas, “Naomi” lifts you off the ground for the whirl-wind ride and then gently places you back down on the mainland, offering a fresh start away from which-ever island you may have been lost on.

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Kim Kardashian’s upcoming di-vorce trial will be a family af-fair, but her attorneys do not expect to call her famous sisters to testify about the re-ality star’s brief marriage to NBA player Kris Humphries.
But Kris Jenner, Kar-dashian’s mother, and sev-eral lawyers and managers are expected to testify about the pair’s relationship and prenuptial agreement, ac-cording to a witness list filed Monday in Los Angeles.
Humphries is seeking
an annulment of the pair’s 72-day marriage, claiming it was based on fraud. Kar-dashian wants a judge to enter a divorce judgment instead and has denied ac-cusations that she married Humphries for the sake of her reality shows.
She will testify that she “did not defraud (Humphries) into marrying her,” the filing by Kardashi-an’s legal team states.
Kardashian’s boyfriend, Kanye West, and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe are not
listed as probable witnesses.Kardashian and West,
who has been deposed in the case, are expecting a baby in July. Humphries’ lawyers attempted to serve West a deposition subpoena disguised in a Nordstrom’s box last year, just one of the incidents that have contrib-uted to acrimony between Kardashian and Humphries since she filed for divorce in October 2011.
Humphries, a power for-ward for the Brooklyn Nets, and Kardashian were mar-
ried at a lavish, star-studded ceremony that was televised by E! Entertainment Televi-sion. The network also airs “Keeping Up With the Kar-dashians” and several spi-noff shows based on the family’s activities.
Humphries’ lawyers have not yet filed their witness list.
The former couple is scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles court on Friday to try to settle the case in ad-vance of a May 6 trial date.

White House celebrates Memphis soulWASHINGTON (AP) – A
White House celebration Tuesday night of Memphis soul music is an affirma-tion of the decades of hard work that went into making it a classic American music sound, said some of the art-ists tapped to perform.
“I’m proud to do this,” said Sam Moore, half of the Sam & Dave soul duo, known for the hit “Hold On, I’m Comin’.”
Moore said he was kick-ing off the concert in the East Room after an introduction by President Barack Obama. The 77-year-old said it’s his first time meeting Obama and he joked about possi-bly wearing a diaper – just in case.
“You just hope you don’t slosh in your shoe,” he said in between rehearsals.
Artist William Bell said the concert reaffirms years of hard work that began in the 1960s when Stax Records was created in Memphis, Tenn., and the label cranked out one soul and R&B hit after an-other for more than a decade.
“As kids coming up, we didn’t think it would last this long,” the 73-year-old Bell said of the music genre dur-ing a rehearsal break. He said he would perform one of his hits, “You Don’t Miss Your Water.”
Tuesday’s concert is the 10th in the “In Performance at the White House” series. The lineup includes Ala-bama Shakes, Steve Cropper, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples, Justin Timberlake, Bell and Moore, with Booker T. Jones as music director and band leader.
The entire program is set to air next Tuesday on PBS sta-
tions nationwide. It will also be broadcast at a later date over the American Forces Network for service mem-bers and civilians at De-fense Department locations worldwide.
The program also hon-ors Memphis, where whites and blacks came together in the 1960s to make a soulful blend of gospel and rhyth-mic grooves despite it being a segregated city.
Earlier in the day, the first lady kicked off a work-shop featuring Moore, Sta-ples, Timberlake, Mus-selwhite and Harper for students from 16 schools and organizations.
Mrs. Obama also tried to encourage the students, in-cluding some aspiring musi-cians, by noting that the art-ists perched on stools in front of them have spent decades perfecting their talent to get where they are.
She recalled playing the piano as a young girl and said she regretted not keep-ing it up. But she said the skills learned through music can be useful in other ave-nues of life.
“The discipline, the pa-tience, the diligence I learned through the study of music, those are all skills that I apply every single day in my life,” Mrs. Obama said. “I ap-plied them as a student, as a lawyer, as a first lady, and definitely as a mother.”
Started in February 2009, the “In Performance at the White House” series has cel-ebrated the music of Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach and Hal Da-vid, Hispanic music, music from the civil-rights era, Mo-town and the blues, Broad-way and country music.
My roommates and I have gotten into many de-bates over the last couple of semesters. Whether it concerns equal refriger-ator space, the climbing water bill, or the should-we-or-shouldn’t-we dis-cussion that comes up whenever the idea of a puppy is mentioned, gen-erally we all end up com-ing to an agreement that serves the greater good.
One of the few excep-tions to this is when boys are involved.
My two roommates are much more sports fanati-cal than I am and have a penchant for muscular,
athletic guys. Meanwhile, I tend to gravitate to the type of guy who spends more time in the library than at the Student Rec Center.
It didn’t take long for me to realize that even outside the confines of my apart-ment, my opinion is a mi-nority. I’ve spoken to girls who go the gym solely to find the perfectly built boy, and I have friends who treat the guys on WVU sports teams like they’re celebrities.
Perhaps it’s because I have no interest in ath-letics – shocking as that may be at this school – but all those hours study-ing biology in the library (and checking out the guy across the table from me making a dent in his or-
ganic chemistry home-work) got me thinking about just why everyone still finds beefcakes so uni-versally attractive.
It doesn’t take a scientist to figure out that the affec-tion women have for mus-cles likely stems from the cavemen days, when men when men took on the role of protecting women from wild animals and other prehistoric dangers.
That being said, muscles were certainly not frowned upon within cave woman circles. Add to that the in-herent quest for fitness – that is, the ability of an individual to survive and pass on his genes – and the affection for robust, sturdy men was born.
All of this is fine, well, and good then, if the con-
stant threat of mountain li-ons and bears is an issue for you. But here on cam-pus, most students are more terrified of their sta-tistics final than of being mauled by an animal on their way to class.
In today’s world, the need for a strong man to protect a woman is out-dated. Although humans have evolved over the years to the top of the food chain, somehow what we find attractive still hasn’t caught up.
Scientific studies from the University of New Mexico echo this idea: apparently, women with less-masculine partners reported that they found more manly men attrac-tive when they were most fertile. However, those
who had macho guys as partners were less likely to find other burly guys appealing.
So, yes, women are hard-wired to think it’s a total bonus if a boy (man) has nice arms or that V-shaped thing in his lower abdo-men. Add a pretty face on top of that and the deal is done. But when searching for a long-term partner, are these traits really what we should be looking for?
We are so busy trying to find the perfect mate with the picture-perfect body and face structure to go along with it that we don’t realize these characteris-tics are completely irrele-vant in the long run.
In 20 years when kids, jobs and bills take up more time than school, partying
and sleeping do now, will a guy who can kick a soccer ball really be that high on the priority list?
And yet, seemingly de-sirably features like intel-ligence, work ethic, po-tential parenting skills and warmth are often overlooked.
It’s time to step out of the cave. We live in a world of higher education and mortgage payments. We don’t need muscles to survive any longer; we need brainpower more than physical power, hard workers more than rock-hard abs.
Our environment has changed significantly since the days of the Ne-anderthals, and it’s about time our standards did, as well.

In pursuit of that end, many countries, states, cities and counties have attempted to call atten-tion to issues that, while relevant, raise questions about legal precedent and
societal standards that are raised with many new laws.
Last week, the West Vir-ginia House of Delegates passed a bill that would make sexting for teenagers illegal. To clarify, the bill is designed to outlaw the distribution of nude pho-tographs by juveniles on the Internet, through so-cial media or by texting in order to prevent the prolif-eration of unwanted pho-tos or pictures taken and distributed without the consent of the subject.
While it is undoubtedly a positive step toward fur-ther curtailing harass-ment, bullying and sexual abuse among minors, the bill possesses ambiguous undertones concerning its reach. Determining what constitutes illicit behavior among consenting adults is convoluted enough; es-tablishing what underage individuals can and can-not circulate on the Inter-net is a different matter entirely.
The age of consent in West Virginia is currently
16, with a few rules regard-ing the age of the partner involved in any consen-sual sexual relationship. Could two 17-year-old stu-dents engaging in a mutual partnership be sentenced to up to one year of juve-nile detention – the pen-alty outlined by the bill – if one sends a racy photo to the other? Will the law only apply to images cir-culated on the web? What if a 16-year-old posts nude pictures of herself to Face-book of her own accord?
When it comes to per-
sonal relationships and the law, it can be difficult to discern a definitively right answer about many issues. Bring the Internet into the fray – a medium which has created plenty of confusion surround-ing existing laws – and matters are only further complicated.
The ambiguity of the bill as it has been presented to the public could ultimately harm its integrity and im-pair its enforcement.

One of the greatest con-tributing factors to pollu-tion in America today is the persistent struggle of multiple parties to keep gas prices as low as possi-ble. The United States and its citizens will not change until their hands are forced, until the struggle is to raise gas prices.
Lower gas prices lead to more driving and more in-efficient automobiles. If gas is cheap, the average per-son can afford to drive a gas-guzzling car to work, to school or to the movie the-
ater a block away. This av-erage person has no need to find alternative, environ-mentally friendly means of transportation, so the mar-ket and government have no need to provide them with effective and afford-able alternatives.
In a system such as this, automobile manufac-turers produce primarily fuel-inefficient cars while hybrid and electric cars re-main toys for the wealthy to ease their consciences and buses are seen as tools for students and the work-ing class. This is the current American system; gas is cheap and change is expen-sive, so people buy cars and the ice caps keep melting.
It is time to consider an alternative path for our so-ciety to take as more people become aware of the envi-ronment’s gradual collapse. Hybrid and electric cars are expensive because there is little incentive to buy them beyond the plight of the po-lar bear. Many bus systems are stagnant or declining because our culture puts heavy stress on owning pri-vate cars. If gas prices for private drivers increase, however, it is very likely the U.S. will see drastic changes in its citizens’ habits. As the free market and public pol-icy change along with the mindset of the public, the reforms will be political, so-cial and economic.
To describe the results of higher gas prices, I will employ two very frighten-ing words: taxes and subsi-dies. If a government – lo-cal, state, or federal – were to tax gas at the pump, driv-ers would immediately cut down on unnecessary trips, and those who could would begin traveling by bus. Over time, conventional car sales will drop and demand for hybrid and electric vehi-cles will spike. Manufactur-ers will devote more time to developing cheaper, sus-tainable vehicles to meet the new demand. Some bus routes will be overcrowded, but proceeds from gas taxes could be used to pay for the improvement of pub-
lic transportation, which would not be subject to the gas tax in order to defray costs.
To ease the transition period, the government would subsidize hybrid and electric car manufacturing, thereby allaying the tempo-rary dip in profits from car sales as well as encourag-ing consumers to buy new emission-free or low-emis-sion vehicles. Above and beyond these positive ef-fects, the exhaust polluting the atmosphere will drop precipitously.
The results of height-ened gas prices are not only environmental. When there are fewer cars on the road, there will be fewer
accidents, less need to find space to park – allowing for increased expansion – and less noise pollution.
Currently, the American system has relegated envi-ronmentalism to a buzz-word, leaving it only for those who are willing to devote their entire lives to the cause or to those who have enough money to take it on as a hobby. Rely-ing on the good conscience of a few to save the world from the apathy and igno-rance of the many is no way to live. Until the conditions of the system change, the people will not change and the environment will con-tinue to be paved under our indifference.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year, you experi-ence a new beginning in a significant area of your life. To others, you will seem as if you have endless energy and creativity, and they will be right. Take advantage of this special year; use it well, but do not step on oth-ers’ feet. If you are single, you might choose a relationship in which some-one puts you on a pedestal. Be care-ful -- there is only one way to go, and that is down. Go for a more realis-tic bond.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH A new beginning becomes very possible. Express your enthusi-asm for a project and for the direction in which you are heading. Once you are behind something, it becomes a reality. Share some of your ideas with friends and loved ones. Tonight: Find a reason for celebration.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH You have a lot going on. Take your time deciphering your feelings, as they could change rapidly. Rather than act aggressively or get into a fight, stop to see what is happening within yourself. Once you can discuss this reaction, you will feel much bet-ter. Tonight: Not to be found.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH A friendship could take a sudden new twist or turn. You have worked so hard to get to a certain point that you hardly have had any time to relax. Stop and look around. Your feelings very likely will float to the surface, so take some time to deal with them. Tonight: Greet a change positively.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH Pressure builds. You might be on the verge of a professional change, or perhaps you are heading in a new direction with a relationship where you look up to the person. Visualize more of what you want, and express your desires openly. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out to someone you care about who is not easily acces-sible. You have an opportunity for a new beginning here. You might want to rethink what has happened and what you want to happen. With clar-ity, success is more likely. Tonight: Let your imagination play out.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH Work with an associate or a dear friend as a duo -- you might feel more empowered that way. This person of-ten seems to share and act on the same feelings that you experience. Work on communication in order to strengthen your bond. Tonight: Chat over a lengthy dinner.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Defer to someone else. You might feel like you have little choice right now. Your sense of humor makes others feel more relaxed, but sometimes you have to honor your needs. Others can be touchy. Know that it might have little to do with you. Tonight: Choose from many options.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You might want to have a long-over-due discussion with an associate or someone who could be instrumen-tal in your day-to-day life. You don’t always have the control you desire. Count on this person’s understand-ing; he or she has good advice to of-
fer. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH Answers come forward once you focus. Be open to brain-storming. Though you might vent some anger, you also will see the way around a hassle. Others share opin-ions more than new ideas, but their different perspectives still are helpful. Tonight: Take a long-overdue break.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH You are open to change and are willing to let go of a need to have certain matters go your way. In any case, a family member might be on the warpath. To calm down the situ-ation, you might want to let go of be-ing right. Make and return important calls. Tonight: At home.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You speak your mind, and others stop to listen. You might have a tone that comes off as angry when expressing your feelings to someone. Choose your words with care. Take re-sponsibility for your side of an issue; you’ll feel better as a result. Tonight: Invite friends over.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Be aware of what you are offering. You might be overspending. Avoid taking a financial risk, no matter how logical it might seem. Be care-ful when swallowing your anger, as it could encourage spending or some other self-destructive habit. Tonight: Balance your checkbook first.

Haley Slagle rocks Morgantown SoundBY COREY ZINN
A&E WRITER
Monday night, U92 FM hosted Morgantown’s sweet and lyrical Haley Slagle, who was accompanied by guitarist extraordinaire Billy Matheny on Morgantown Sound in the Gluck Theatre of the Mountainlair.
Haley Slagle has played rhythm guitar for Billy Ma-theny’s side project, The Frustrations, for 10 years. Recently, she decided to be-gin a new solo project.
Slagle, with her acoustic guitar, and Matheny, with his electric, sat side-by-side and played profound and simple tunes from Sla-gle’s new EP, The Frustra-tions’ original songs and some covers.
Slagle’s melodies are re-
laxing and her words strong, and they supply a sweet reminiscence of West Vir-ginia. Even with the simplic-ity of her style, she still cap-tivates you with well-crafted harmonies and the natural emotion of her lyrics.
“I’ve been using my com-ing-of-age experiences as a palette,” Slagle said. “That’s where I’ve been drawing from.”
She has been writing since the age of 12, and the wisdom and emotion in her music are evident. Her new solo project began with the help of her friend and band-mate, Jeremy Batten.
“I was sitting around try-ing to write better songs when my friend Jeremy had this idea,” Slagle said. “He had this idea of starting out by recording the vocals and
then recording the drums last.”
The result is her new “Haley Slagle EP,” and from the abnormal recording process comes more vocally centered songs.
By recording the vocals by themselves, Slagle was able to experiment with dif-ferent instrumentation. She is working on a similar full-length album that will be re-leased next year.
Slagle and Matheny’s chemistry shines through their music. Together, they made hysterical banter and sang in beautiful harmony, comfortably strumming their guitars.
“We met September or October of 1988,” Matheny said. “In Fairmont (W.Va.) in a bar called Marco’s.
“It’s where you go before
you fall off the face of the Earth,” Slagle said.
Since Matheny and Slagle have been friends, they have played together on and off until settling with The Frustrations.
You can listen to Haley Slagle’s EP and find out where she’ll be playing next at www.haleyslagle.com. She will be playing at her favorite Morgantown venue, Gene’s Beer Garden, April 20.
Listen to past recordings and see who’s playing next on Morgantown Sound at http://morgantownsound.wordpress.com.
You can also check The Daily Athenaeum on Mon-day for the artist playing that evening.

‘Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon’ is a ‘boo-tiful’ time
The original “Luigi’s Man-sion” is an outstanding game.
It caught a lot of flak when it was originally released for the Gamecube, because it didn’t play like a traditional Mario game, with no koo-pas to stomp or princesses to rescue.
Although, this actually makes perfect sense, as it is a Luigi game and shouldn’t stick to that formula. Brothers don’t have to do everything the same way.
For example, the only previous Luigi game is the edutainment title “Mario is Missing,” which is an educa-tional game that taught me much about Rome and Bei-jing while also being a re-gretful rental from a local Blockbuster.
But I digress.“Luigi’s Mansion” was a
fun romp through a haunted mansion, combining ele-ments of “Ghostbusters” and “Resident Evil” with all that Nintendo charm fans know and love.
It got solid reviews, and as a launch title for the Game-cube, sold well, becoming the fifth-largest selling Game-
cube title. The game was re-sponsible for a huge shift in how Luigi acted, making him more than a palette swap of his brother.
So, of course, Nintendo didn’t return to the series for 12 years.
But now that’s changed with “Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon” for the Nintendo 3DS.
Finally.Luigi has been summoned
to Dark Moon Valley by Pro-fessor E. Gadd, the mad sci-entist he assisted in the first game, after the destruction of the Dark Moon, a floating crystal sphere that kept all the nearby ghosts peaceful.
Now Luigi and his trusty vacuum must step back into the role of ghost hunter and collect the shattered pieces of the Dark Moon while also stopping a colorful group of poltergeists and the resident spooks of the Mario series, Boos.
As stories go, there isn’t much other than “ghosts have appeared; please go stop them,” with occasional foreshadowing toward a big-ger threat.
Instead of one mansion, though, there are five – each housing different puzzles and frights for players to over-come, and each ending with a battle against some sort of
monstrous boss.Along the way, players will
also be granted new tools, such as an antimatter flash-light to make vacuuming ghosts that much easier, as well as giving players ample opportunity to suck up plenty of coins.
Unlike the first game, in which more coins just led to a better mansion at the end, here coins serve an in-game purpose, with more coins leading to better upgrades for Luigi’s tools, which, in turn, leads to more money.
However, the game has lost some of the charm seen in the original.
The puzzles seem a lot sim-pler and earning more money doesn’t really require a lot of thought or skill.
Also, there are no more portrait ghosts. The bosses and mini-bosses of the orig-inal are replaced by generic, albeit colorful, ghouls that aren’t nearly as interesting.
Overall, this game is still a lot of fun, and while it can be a bit repetitive, it is never in ways that ruin the experience. This game is definitely worth it for those saddled with a 3DS and nothing to play.

NEW YORK (AP) – Cookie Monster stands accused of shoving a 2-year-old. Super Mario was charged with grop-ing a woman. And Elmo was booked for berating tourists with anti-Semitic slurs.
Times Square is crawling with entrepreneurs who dress up as pop-culture characters and try to make a few bucks posing for photos with visi-tors to the big city. But some of these characters are un-like anything you’ve seen on “Sesame Street” or at Disney World.
They smoke, they use foul language, and they can be ag-gressive. At least three of them have been arrested in the past seven months.
“He was using words that were really bad,” said Parmita Kurada of Stamford, Conn., who told police she got into a dispute this week with a man in a Cookie Monster costume who demanded $2 for pos-ing with her 2-year-old son, Samay.
Kurada said that when she told the Cookie Monster that her husband needed to get cash, the shaggy blue crea-ture pushed the boy and be-gan calling her and the child obscene names.
“It was very scary for us, and I was crying. I didn’t want to provoke him, so I said, `We’ll give you the money, but stop yelling!’” she said.
Osvaldo Quiroz-Lopez, 33, was charged with assault, child endangerment and ag-gressive begging. His lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment.
Asked by a WNBC-TV re-porter why he no longer likes the character he sees on “Ses-ame Street,” little Samay said: “Because Cookie Monster give me boo-boo.”
In the wake of the latest arrest, the bustling “Cross-roads of the World” was filled Tuesday with performers, in-cluding multiple versions of
Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Hello Kitty, a Transformer ro-bot, Lady Liberty, Super Mario and Elmo.
Many of them are immi-grants trying to eke out a living in what appear to be knockoff costumes.
As street performers pro-tected by the First Amend-ment, they are free to roam Times Square and work for tips that average between $2 and $5 a photo as long as they don’t block traffic, sell mer-chandise or demand pay-ment, police say. That’s a tick-etable offense that can cost about $60.
“I don’t think they should charge, but if they’re unem-ployed or homeless, and this is the only way they can make money, it’s OK,” said Lauren Larcara of Oakland, N.J., who posed with a torch-carrying Statue of Liberty.
Laura Vanegas, a 45-year-old native of Ecuador, changes into her Liberty robes and ap-plies copper-green face paint behind the Times Square mil-itary recruiting station. She said she picks up $30 to $50 on her eight-hour shift.
Steve Crass, dressed as a robot in fluorescent red and white plastic panels, said he has made as much as $280 during his six-hour stint in front of Toys R Us. He acknowl-edged: “Some of the charac-ters are a little too aggressive.”
Police spokesman Paul Browne said in an email that the department has had “oc-casional issues with the `faux paws’ in Times Square, but they’re nominal.”
The case against the Super Mario charged with groping is still pending. The Elmo ac-cused of an anti-Semitic rant pleaded guilty in September to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to two days of com-munity service.
City Council Speaker Chris-tine Quinn called the Cookie Monster case “just horrible”
and said lawmakers have been looking into how to regulate the characters. But she noted the issue is, well, fuzzy.
“It’s very challenging le-gally because dressing up in a costume and walking around Times Square is, we believe, a First Amendment-protected activity,” said Quinn, a candi-date to be New York’s next mayor.
Similar cases of misbehav-ior by costumed perform-ers have been reported in Hollywood.
Disney did not respond to a request for comment, while the Sesame Workshop, the organization behind “Sesame Street,” said it has not autho-rized such uses of any its char-acters in any city and is look-ing into what actions it can take.
Anthony Elia, a New York lawyer in the intellectual-property field, said the en-tertainment groups probably have a case for trademark in-fringement, but “the challenge probably would be getting a bunch of self-employed entre-preneurial individuals to stop.”
It’s not the easiest way to make a living. On a day when temperatures pushed 80, they sweated in their outfits, com-ing out from under their over-sized costume heads only to grab a hot dog or a smoke. When one posed for a photo, two or three others dashed over and joined in.
“Want to take a picture?” a furry red Elmo asked a tour-ist. Moments later, he declined to speak to a reporter, saying through his costume, “I no speak English.”
A Minnie Mouse offered a toddler in a stroller her hand and positioned herself at the handlebar. A Super Mario rushed over to join her.
“She said, `Can you give us money?’” said the child’s mother, Melanie Somogyi of Hamilton, Ontario. “And they grabbed the stroller!”

Cheerleaders are needed to become part of the 2013-2014
WVU cheerleading team!
2013 will be step forward
for WVU defense
The 2012 season could not have been much worse for the West Virginia defense.
After routinely finding its way into the top 30 na-tionally in nearly every sta-tistical category for the past few years, the Mountaineers were toward the bottom in three of the four major de-fensive categories – includ-ing finishing No. 114 in scor-ing defense, allowing more than 38 points per game.
The only team from a BCS conference that allowed more points per game than the Mountaineers, which al-lowed more than 45 points in six of seven games mid-way through the season, was Colorado.
But better days are on the horizon for the WVU defense.
I mean, they can’t get much worse, right?
With Keith Patterson making the move to defen-sive coordinator and a lot of new faces on the defensive coaching staff, the Moun-taineers have a new mind-set heading into the 2013 season.
Getting back to that same style of hard-nosed, blue-collar football West Vir-ginia defenses have always been known for is without a doubt a great move. And honestly, it helps they strug-gled as much as they did in some ways.
Suffering through such a difficult season can make you look back at the way you handled things. It can make you realize success doesn’t come as easily as it usually had for WVU football in re-cent years.

You’ll take five or six Kevin Whites, but as far as Big 12 football com-ing from junior college, who knows what will happen to him?” said WVU wide re-ceiver coach Lonnie Gallo-way. “I don’t want to toot Kevin’s horn right now, be-cause he’s been practicing for seven days, so right now he’s still part of the group. He’s made plays in practice, but right now he’s one of the
guys until he gets through these 15 days of practice.”
White is currently play-ing on the outside as Jor-dan Thompson and Con-nor Arlia have jumped out ahead as possible starters in the slot. Also, fourth-string quarterback Logan Moore has moved to re-ceiver halfway through spring ball.
Injuries hit OL Hard Last week WVU head
coach Dana Holgorsen an-nounced injuries to both Pat Eger and Adam Pankey. Eger, who was competing for the starting center role, injured his ankle, and will be out temporarily.
Right now, most believe keeping Eger out is pre-cautionary. With Eger out, there have been more op-portunities at the center position.

The West Virginia base-ball team couldn’t get back on the winning track Tuesday night, losing to Ohio State 9-0 at Bill Davis Stadium.
The Mountaineers were shut out for the fourth time this season – the second time in three games. The loss extends their losing streak to three games and drops their overall record to 17-16.
The Buckeyes took ad-vantage of fielding blun-ders by the Mountaineers,
thanks to three WVU errors in the first two innings.
West Virginia, which has the third-best batting av-erage in the Big 12 Con-ference, had only four hits compared to Ohio State’s eight.
Crucial errors on failed pick-off attempts allowed Ohio State’s Joe Ciamacco to reach third base with no outs and eventually score the first run of the game.
Ciamacco drove in an-other run in the second in-ning on another throwing error to second base. Two additional errors in the eighth inning sparked a six-
run frame, extending Ohio State’s lead to 9-0.
Despite the loss, senior pitcher Dan Dierdorff (1-4) allowed three unearned runs, five strikeouts and two walks in five innings of work. Ryan Hostrander al-lowed one earned run, six hits, three walks and one strikeout in 2.2 innings of relief.
Ohio State starting pitcher Brett McKinney al-lowed just one hit, one walk and six strikeouts in five in-nings. Ciamacco led the Buckeyes with two hits, one run and one RBI.
Ryan Tuntland, Ryan
McBroom, Chris Rasky and Justin Fox each had one hit for the Mountaineers. Tunt-land’s .368 batting average is the seventh-best in the Big 12.
Left fielder Jacob Rice, who has 44 hits in the sea-son, went 0-3 with one strikeout.
West Virginia’s best op-portunity to score came in the seventh inning with runners on second and third with no outs. However, the Buckeyes struck out the next three batters they saw, keeping their shut out in tact.
The Mountaineers re-
turn to Morgantown to-day, as they’ll be hosting Youngstown State at Hawley Field at 6 p.m. The Penguins are an abysmal 9-22 on the season and are coming off a 24-7 loss against Pittsburgh.
The Mountaineers will look to get back to their offensive ways, as Youngstown State’s pitch-ing has given up 24 home runs on the season, most in their conference.

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Wednesday April 10, 2013
“We have had a couple guys who have been work-ing at guard who also have been working at center – Pat (Eger)’s injury has given us a chance to work them back in and get them some reps,” said WVU offensive line coach Ron Crook. “Tony Matteo has done a solid job stepping in. He is basically
relearning a position, be-cause he hasn’t practiced it much this spring. Russell Haughton-James will move in there as well.”
As for Pankey, a torn ACL means he will not only miss the rest of the spring, but likely the 2013 regular season.
“You hate to see that happen to a kid. He was making a lot of strides. He was improving on a daily basis. It is frustrating from
that standpoint,” Crook said.
Changes in the Defen-
sive Backfield In 2012, the West Virginia
defense allowed opponents to score 38 passing touch-downs. With a new corner-backs coach Brian Mitchell, new coverages and a scheme have already been introduced.
“We are talking about a different scheme. We are
a 3-4 team. I’m not exactly sure what they did last year. They did some 3-4, but they also did some 4-3,” Mitch-ell said. “The terminol-ogy has changed. Some of the responsibilities on the back end have changed. Their footwork has to be different on every play. You can have one cover-age but six or seven differ-ent calls.”

Bruce Irvin, Julian Miller, J.T. Thomas and Chris Neild, the Mountaineers had a feeling that it was always going to be that way.
They hadn’t been used to struggling the way they did, and they got away from do-ing the things that had made them so successful in the past.
Now they’re ready to re-turn to that.
Some of them, like se-
niors Brodrick Jenkins, Will Clarke and Darwin Cook, played a part on the 2010 unit that finished in the top five nationally in total de-fense. So, they’ve seen what it’s like at the top, and they don’t want to feel what it’s like at the bottom anymore.
Another thing that hin-dered a lot of what the Mountaineers wanted to do a season ago on the defen-sive side of the ball had to do with how young they were.
West Virginia played 15 freshmen on defense in 2012, and seven were start-
ers for at least one game.While that usually never
bodes well for the current season, it will more than likely pay dividends in a big way in the following years.
And that’s what could happen this year for West Virginia. Freshmen Karl Jo-seph and Isaiah Bruce were among the best defensive playmakers as freshmen a year ago, and with a year un-der their belt, they’re ready to step up and become lead-ers on the unit this year.
With as many underclass-men gaining valuable expe-
rience last year, the Moun-taineers have a chance to be much improved.
The new mindset – paired with the fact none of them want to be as bad as they were last season – should really have a major impact on the way the Mountaineer defense plays on the field.
It would be a big surprise if they didn’t get better.
But, like I said it isn’t much of a stretch, because how much worse could it possibly get?
Bruce improving during spring
By nick arthurassociate sports editor
After finishing second on the team in tackles a season ago as a redshirt freshman, Isaiah Bruce proved he can be one of the best linebackers in the Big 12 Conference.
He consistently showed up every week, a part of a defense that couldn’t say the same, while allowing the most points in school history during the season.
This spring has been dif-ferent for Bruce, though, as he’s adjusting to a new de-fensive coordinator, new schemes and a new lead-ership role.
That new defensive co-ordinator, Bruce’s posi-tion coach last year, Keith Patterson, has presented a different coaching style than Bruce experienced with former defensive co-
ordinator Joe DeForest last season, but not one he isn’t used to.
“(Coach Patterson) is pretty hard on me. But every coach I’ve had has been pretty hard one me,” Bruce said. “They do it be-cause they know your po-tential, and they’re trying to get me better. I encour-age him to be hard on me.”
Bruce has spent most of this spring trying to im-prove small parts of his game, such as patience and knowing his role.
“I’ve been having a great, I’d like to think, a better spring. I’m gradually get-ting better. I’ve had a cou-ple of problems I’ve cor-rected from film,” he said. “I’m just trying to be more patient. I tend to overrun plays. I’m also working on better tackling.”
The Jacksonville, Fla., native has also added
weight this offseason, bet-ter fitting his position at in-side linebacker. It will en-able him to take on blocks more efficiently and with-stand the weekly bangs and bruises of college foot-ball more efficiently.
“Last year, I felt really small, especially standing beside (senior linebacker) Doug Rigg. He was huge,” Bruce said. “I feel like I’m getting bigger ... I think I’m keeping my speed up, too.”
As far as reminiscing, Bruce has tried to stay away from reflecting on the defensive struggles from a year ago. Instead, he’s focused on what he can control.
“I don’t really think about last year at all. The only thought that pops up is that we can’t do what we did last year,” Bruce said. “I wouldn’t say it’s a clean slate, but we’re try-
ing to look toward the fu-ture. We’re definitely going to do a lot better than last year. Right now, we’re try-ing to be the No. 1 defense in the Big 12.”
Bruce was named to the Big 12 all-Freshman team a season ago, and he will join Karl Joseph as the two top-returning tacklers from 2012. Despite the ac-colades, Bruce says he can always go up from here.
“I don’t think there is a ceiling. There is always room to get better. I feel with his kind of coach-ing and the rest of coach-ing that’s going on that I can really get to that level and play better all around,” Bruce said. “There’s no stopping to how far I can really go. That’s the plan, and I don’t plan to stop anywhere.”

Dad says Louisville G Smith leaving for NBALOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Ju-
nior guard Russ Smith will leave Louisville early to en-ter the NBA draft, according to his father.
Russ Smith Sr. said the Car-dinals’ leading scorer “did it all” during a college career that culminated with Lou-isville’s 82-76 victory over Michigan on Monday night for the NCAA champion-ship. That title, two Big East crowns and an all-conference first-team selection this sea-
son completes a resume he said made it easy for his son to move on to the next level.
Smith’s father said his son will announce his decision in the next week.
The 6-foot-1 Smith aver-aged 18.7 points this season, including 22.3 in six NCAA tournament games. But he struggled in the Cardinals’ ti-tle-clinching victory, missing 13 of 16 shots and finishing with nine points.
Nonetheless, Smith Sr.
said, “he’s going.”“Even if he had gone 20
for 30, he just wanted to win. He’s happy for the guys that stepped up when he was struggling. That’s ho
Calls to Louisville’s ath-letic department were not immediately returned. Car-dinals players returned Tues-day to campus from Atlanta but coach Rick Pitino, mem-bers of the basketball staff, athletic director Tom Ju-rich and several administra-
tive staffers went to New Or-leans to watch the Louisville women play Connecticut in the NCAA final.
Smith has not hired an agent but his father said he plans to have input into that decision. Nicknamed “Russ-diculous” by Pitino because of his wild and unpredict-able play, the slight but ag-ile Smith provided plenty of highlights for the Cardinals — along with questionable shot selection.

Millick wraps up successful West Virginia careerby Meghan carr
sports writer
Senior Kaylyn Millick’s gymnastics career at West Virginia University may have ended Sunday night, but her accomplishments in her final season should be remembered.
She stepped up as one of the dominant leaders this season with ease, and she often spent her spare mo-ments before routines giv-ing quick pep talks to fel-low teammates or cheering from the sidelines as her teammates competed. She understands what the terms teamwork and lead-ership really mean.
Coaches describe Mil-lick as a team-oriented player who knows her in-dividual accomplishments count toward a collabora-tive goal.
Millick seems to stand out on a team filled with larger-than-life personali-ties like fellow senior team-mate Alaska Richardson, known for her confident personality, bold floor rou-tines and powerful vault.
Richardson, Millick and senior Chelsea Gold-schrafe highlighted a phe-nomenal 2013 season filled with record-breaking highs and disappointing ends.
Richardson, Millick and Goldschrafe were the first gymnasts recruited by head coach Jason Butts and as-sistant coach Travis Doak.
Millick transferred to WVU after an impressive freshman season at East-ern Michigan University. She said WVU was always the place she wanted to go, but an injury prevented her from pursuing her dream at the time.
“She got in touch with Travis first and said she was interested in transfer-
ring,” Butts said. “When Travis told me this, I said, ‘We’ve got to get her here, even if we have to move heaven and earth to do it.’”
Butts said it wasn’t just Millick’s breakout fresh-man season at Eastern Michigan that made her a perfect fit for the Old Gold and Blue uniform.
“She is a die hard Moun-taineer fan, and her desire to compete here was un-matched,” she said. “You can’t buy that kind of dedication.”
As one of two all-around competitors for the Moun-taineers, there is added pressure for Millick to per-form on a high level dur-ing the meet, yet the senior seems to thrive under pres-sure and against adversity.
Millick fell off the un-even bars and hit her head during the meet against Denver. She immediately jumped back up and re-sumed her routine, later earning a 9.85 score on beam and a 9.925 on floor.
“Kaylyn just has what it takes. She’s consistent in competition. She’s a fierce competitor and is not one to look stupid in front of a crowd,” Butts said.
Her desire to succeed earned her eight 39.0 or greater all-around scores.
Millick’s most memo-rable performance came Feb. 24 when she scored a near perfect score of 9.95 on floor against then-No. 3 Michigan. The score ties the record for highest score on floor in WVU history.
“I thought she deserved a 10.0, and I still do,” Butts said.
Millick never missed a lineup in her career at WVU, competing in every meet during 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Millick’s senior season
could fill any highlight reel, but Butts said that’s not all she should be remembered for.
“Her sheer will to win and determination to never give up (left an impres-sion), and she always gave it her all,” Butts said.
“She was always the first to volunteer for any com-munity service projects, and any functions we had, she was the first one there in gold and blue.”
These qualities can’t be seen through her statistics, but they are a part of the legacy she leaves at WVU.
When people look back at the 2013 Mountaineers, they shouldn’t remember their flop in the NCAA re-gionals; even the team agrees it was a disappoint-ment. Instead, they should be remembered for what they accomplished for a 12-week season, especially Millick.
“Ten years from now if we were to win a national championship, her name will be on that trophy, or at least the legacy she left will be,” Butts said.
Millick said she’s not ready to leave Cary Gym and hopes to work next year as a student volunteer while she attends graduate school here at WVU.
“It’s weird to say it’s fi-nally over, but I’m just happy that I got the oppor-tunity to even be here,” Mil-lick said.
“Coming off my fresh-man year, I never thought I would be happy in a place ever, and I’m just so glad that I got to come here.”
Millick exemplifies loy-alty in a time when al-legiance to schools and teammates is sometimes rare.

Rory McIlroy arrives at 2013 Masters with new confidence
around the country
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Three months into the sea-son, Rory McIlroy feels as if it’s already been a long year.
The splashy announce-ment of his Nike deal, and the commercial with Tiger Woods that raised hopes of a big rivalry. The missed cut in Abu Dhabi. The first-round exit from the Match Play Championship. Quit-ting halfway through the second round of the Honda Classic. The loss of his No. 1 ranking.
And now, McIlroy is ready to get started.
“I’ve always said the main golf season is from the start of April to the end of August, so that’s when I want to play my best golf,” McIlroy said Tuesday.
It all starts with the Masters.
McIlroy can’t simply dis-miss the last three months and the endless questions about the state of his game and his new equipment. He at least brings some mea-sure of form to the first ma-jor championship of the year. Desperate to find his game, he added the Texas Open at
the last minute and in turned out “almost perfectly.” The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland didn’t think about his swing, only his score. He challenged in the final round and wound up the runner-up.
Whether he’s ready for Augusta National won’t be known until Thursday. But at least he knows it’s there.
“I’ve went through these patches before where I haven’t played so well and the game feels quite far away, and then something clicks and then all of a sud-den, it’s back again,” McIlroy said. “I probably should have learned more from it from last summer when I was go-ing through those struggles. ... When I don’t play my best, it’s when I get into bad hab-its in my golf swing. When-ever my golf swing is where I want it to be, that’s when I produce results.
“And that’s what I’ve seen has started to happen over the past few weeks.”
The problem has been the swing, not the clubs he was swinging.
Even so, McIlroy con-
ceded the adjustment took some time. Woods took nearly five years before working all the Nike clubs into his bag. McIlroy did it all at once, and when he played poorly the first two months of the year, it only added to the scrutiny.
“The way I was hitting the ball at the start of the year, I needed a short game just to get myself around the golf course,” McIlroy said. “Off the tee has been a big im-provement. There was a lit-tle bit of an adjustment pe-riod getting the driver that really suited me. And once I got that, you gain confidence whenever you play rounds and you see yourself hitting good drives, hitting it in the fairway and setting yourself up with iron shots into the greens.”
McIlroy has plenty at stake this year.
A win this year would put him exclusive company. Dat-ing to 1960, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tiger Woods and Phil Mick-elson are the only players to win majors in three straight seasons.
