Student arrested for arson attemptBY TRAVIS CRUM
AND DEVON UNGERDA STAFF
A West Virginia University stu-dent is facing fourth-degree ar-son charges after police alleg-edly found him attempting to burn down the Alpha Omicron Pi sorority house.
Th e man attempted to light the house on fi re April 16 around 2 a.m., according to reports.
Th e suspect suff ered a broken leg while attempting to elude po-lice, said WVU Police Chief Bob Roberts. He underwent surgery April 21.
Th e student’s name cannot be released until police serve a war-rant, Roberts said.
A warrant cannot be served until he is released from the hos-pital, which should be sometime this week, he said.
The police discovered the man squirting charcoal fl uid on the mulch in front of the house as he was attempting to light it on fi re.
Th e suspect was not targeting the AOPi house for any specifi c reason but was under the infl u-ence of alcohol, Roberts said.
“Th ere was nothing in the ini-tial interview that said it was di-
rected to anyone living in that house,” he said.
“He just found the charcoal fl uid, and I think there was mulch there. And he was squirting the charcoal fl uid in the mulch.”
Cindy Le, a member of AOPi and resident of the house, said she heard someone pounding on the door the morning of April 16 but disregarded it.
“I wasn’t going to go answer it at two in the morning,” she said, adding she assumed it was a neighboring fraternity playing a prank.
Th e knock at the door was a University police offi cer. After no one answered the door, the police went to a nearby frater-nity house, where they asked res-idents if they had phone num-bers of anyone in the sorority, Le said.
“I woke up to texts asking if our house got burned down,” said AOPi member Ally Ruscin. “I had no idea what they were even talking about. I guess the police got a hold of our presi-dent, so she let everyone know what was going on.”
Sorority member Casey Raf-try said the man was not target-ing the house members.
“I think it’s actually probably true that he has nothing against AOPi. The people across the street have a grill, so I’m sure it could have been their charcoal fl uid he used,” she said. “Peo-ple just do dumb things when
they’re drunk.”Le said the sorority sisters are
not taking the incident lightly.“It’s so scary that people do
things like that,” Le said. “With everyone asleep, no one would have even known it was happen-ing. We seriously could have all been killed.”
If found guilty, the man could face between one to two years in prison and a fi ne of $2,500.
Alex Koscevic contributed to this report. Koscevic is a member of AOPi.

‘DEAD WEEK’ NOT SO DEAD
Master of Fine Arts program ranks in top 100BY DEVON UNGER
STAFF WRITER
U.S. News & World Report ranked West Virginia University’s master of fi ne arts program 93rd among the top 100 fi ne arts gradu-ate programs in the country.
Th e WVU division of art and de-sign has made the list every year since 2003.
Alison Helm, professor of sculp-ture and chair of the division of art and design, said the rankings help bring attention to the program and its graduates.
“It’s a vote of confi dence not just from students that have graduated and gone on to have successful ca-
reers, but it’s other peers who look at your program and are knowl-edgeable,” Helm said. “Th is is a real valid rating from colleagues who know the arts.”
Th e program is attracting ener-getic new faculty with ideas that move the school forward, Helm said.
She said the program does not like to pigeon hole students into a specifi c artistic discipline but en-courages students to explore vari-ous types of media.
Th e program also allows stu-dents the opportunity to gain teaching experience they can ap-ply to future jobs in art education.
“I’m pursuing my own art ca-
reer, but also I’d like to teach as well. Th ey’ve given me the oppor-tunity to have some teaching expe-rience, and that is very valuable,” said Cassie Clements, a third year student in the MFA program.
Originally from Huntington, W.Va., Clements was aware of WVU’s program while complet-ing her undergraduate work at Co-lumbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio.
She said the program’s opportu-nities helped her decision to come to WVU for graduate school.
Jennifer Rockage, a third year student in the MFA program, said she got the chance to meet print-making professor Joseph Lupo
during her senior year at Clar-ion College in Clarion, Pa., where she completed her undergradu-ate degree.
Lupo, as well as other fac-ulty, encouraged Rockage to join WVU’s program.
Along with her experience with faculty, Rockage liked the size and opportunities of the program.
“I think the department defi -nitely has a lot to off er graduates, and I’m glad to see it ranked in the top 100. It’s exciting,” Rock-age said.
Th ere are approximately 24 stu-dents in the program at any time,
Number of street fi res in Morgantown on the rise
BY MELISSA CANDOLFISTAFF WRITER
A total of 58 street fi res have been reported since the begin-ning of the spring semester at West Virginia University, said Morgantown fi re marshal Ken Tennant.
Since the start of 2010, there have been 36 cases classifi ed as street fi res and 22 dumpster fi res, Tennant said.
Th e Morgantown Fire Depart-ment classifies street fires as anything ranging from burning couches, kitchen tables, piles of garbage and dumpsters.
If a student is found taking part in a street fi re, he or she could face the criminal charge of mali-cious burning, Tennant said.
“We’ve had fi res damage ve-hicles. We’ve had fi re fi ghters in-jured, people injured,” Tennant said. “We have had couch fi res and dumpster fi res against the houses that led to setting the houses on fi re.”
Students who participate in
the fi res do not usually think about the danger they are put-ting themselves, their friends, property and bystanders in, he said.
Tennant said in the past, the MFD was unable to attend to all emergency calls because they were too occupied with the num-ber of street fi res.
During basketball and foot-ball season, the department has to call surrounding area depart-ments for backup, he said.
More than 27 fi res were re-ported the night the WVU men’s basketball team won the Big East Tournament.
“Th e criminal charges for set-ting the fi res were implemented about 10 years ago,” he said. “I’m really not so sure that was such a turn for the students as the man-datory $1,000 fi ne seems to be,” Tennant said.
In early 2000, Tennant said WVU started implementing

Faculty Senate: Strategic planning
process ongoingBY SHAY MAUNZ
STAFF WRITER
West Virginia University’s Strategic Planning Council is is preparing for the University’s next long-term plan.
The council hopes to take more concrete steps in the next few weeks between fi nals and commencement, said Provost Michele Wheatly.
“We will be helping some of those groups to have some in-tense discussion so we can do some real work with them over the summer,” Wheatly said at Monday’s Faculty Senate Exec-utive Committee meeting.
Wheatly added several task forces have been formed in ad-dition to the other originally cre-ated in the process.
Current task forces include
one to focus on discovery and innovation, one for inclusivity and another for international activity.
New task forces include groups to focus on WVU’s main campus, the Health Sciences Center and some that are all-inclusive.
They address issues such as faculty development, re-search, health and well-ness, first year success and community engagement.
Wheatly also said more work groups will be formed, and offi -cials are still garnering input on the process.
“We will listen to input from anyone who wants to give it,” she said. “But we are structur-ing some discussions around

Ryan Diviney fundraiser a ‘success’
BY TRAVIS CRUMCITY EDITOR
A West Virginia University professor organized an event that raised more than $8,000 to benefi t the family of soph-omore political science major Ryan Diviney.
Earlier this month, Daniel Brewster, a sociology professor and two of Ryan’s friends held a fundraising dinner at Dragonfl y
restaurant in Morgantown. Th e event aimed to aid the Diviney family with Ryan’s high medi-cal costs.
Brewster said money is still being calculated from the silent auction, which could bring the total to $9,000 by the end of the week.
“It was defi nitely a big suc-cess, and we defi nitely got more than I expected,” Brewster said. “I anticipated around 200 to 300 people, but Dragonfl y said we had a little over 700.”
Ryan, who remains in a coma, was attacked outside the Willey Street Dairy Mart Nov. 7 at 3:10 a.m.
Jonathan May, 18, and Austin Vantrease, 18, of Newark, Del. were charged with malicious assault in connection with the beating. A trial date of July 16 has been set for the two teens.
On April 22, Ryan moved from his home in Ashburn, Va., to the Kessler Institute for Rehabilita-tion in northern New Jersey. Th e Institute specializes in rehabil-itation programs for individu-als with spinal cord and brain injuries.
Ken Diviney, Ryan’s father, said Ryan has three hours of therapy a day and has adjusted to life at the Institute.
“I don’t sense any stress in
him at all,” Ken said. “Right now, (the Institute) is trying to fi gure out where he is and what type of treatment they want to provide for him. It seems to be an excel-lent facility.”
Recently, doctors said Ryan no longer needs a tracheostomy tube to help him breathe. Th ey are planning on removing the tube once Ryan’s skull has been fully healed, Ken said.
Ryan also received his fi rst shower in six months while at the Institute, Ken said. Up un-til now, Ryan had only been re-ceiving sponge baths from his

Police: Bus driver who struck, injured student to be cited
BY TRAVIS CRUM AND SAMANTHA COSSICK
DA STAFF
Th e Mountain Line bus driver who struck a West Virginia Univer-sity student on Wednesday after-noon will be cited with failure to yield to a pedestrian’s right of way, said University Police Chief Bob Roberts.
Mountain Line driver Jay A. Ziehm failed to yield the right of way to student Jason Forman based on the investigation and investigat-ing offi cer’s opinion, Roberts said.
Forman, a freshman engineering major, was struck by the bus while using the crosswalk on Evansdale Drive near Towers and the Student Recreation Center. He sustained a
fractured wrist and trauma to his body that could need further sur-geries, Forman said.
A failure to yield the right of way to a pedestrian citation typically re-sults in a fi ne, though Roberts if un-sure of how much.
David Bruff y, director of Moun-tain Line Buses said the accident “should never have happened.”
“Anytime anything like this hap-pens, it is absolutely contrary to our mission, and our very reason for being here,” Bruff y said. “Safety is our fi rst priority in everything that we do.”
Roberts said the UPD spoke with all witnesses, including the bus driver, but would not disclose what he said due to the fact the ci-tation will go to court.
Bruff y is not worried about the matter reaching court because he is more concerned with Forman’s well-being, he said.
“You are talking about a young student who’s got their entire lives in front of them,” he said. “Every-thing else is just money, and, rel-atively speaking, that’s not all that
important.”UPD will work with the Univer-
sity to make the crosswalk safer if the University desires, Roberts said.
“Accidents are going to happen. Our job is to investigate those acci-dents and see what happened. Cer-tainly we will work with the Univer-sity to make it safer,” Roberts said.
Th e bus in question was leaving the area at approximately 1 p.m. en route toward Engineering, said April Johnston, senior communi-cations specialist for WVU’s News and Information Services.
At about the same time as the ac-cident Wednesday, Mountain Line released a statement via Twitter that the Orange Line, which runs from Towers to Engineering hourly was “off schedule due to involve-ment in a traffi c accident.”
Shortly thereafter Mountain Line tweeted again that “(Blue and Gold) at 1:40 moving again; leaving Towers on schedule; no 1:20 run due to accident.”
Mountain Line driver to receive citation for failure to yield to pedestrian’s right of way
charged with street fi res. Th e biggest problem for those
students is the possibility of be-ing expelled or suspended from WVU.
Derek Dornes, a sophomore pre-business and economics ma-jor, burned a dumpster at the be-ginning of the fall semester.
“It was poor decision,” Dornes said. “I made it in a diff erent state of mind, and it led to con-sequences far above anything I wanted to have over something as stupid as burning a dumpster.”
Dornes said he was issued fines, community service and academic probation.
“Everyone hears the rumor that if you burn a couch or a dumpster you can get expelled, but no one ever thinks it can hap-pen to them,” he said.
“Th e school is serious about it. It’s a long and stressful process, and it is something I never want to go through again.”
Tennant advises students to think twice next time they go to participate in a street fi re, be-cause there is a good chance of being caught.

to be important.” Th roughout the strategic plan-
ning process, the University will try to do work that complements the eff orts made in preparation for WVU’s reaccreditation in 2014, Whealty said.
“What we want to do is build a plan that has the right kind of benchmarks and methodolo-gies,” she said.
The committee also heard from Roy Nutter, representa-tive to the Advisory Council of Faculty, and Senate Chair Nigel Clark, who visited WVU Institute of Technology Friday.
Faculty at WVU Tech voiced frustration over the relationship between themselves and WVU’s main campus, including some of the processes within Faculty Senate, Nutter and Clark said.
“It is evident that we need to work on harmonizing some of our processes with them ... how things fl ow through our commit-tees, how they fl ow through their committees,” Clark said.
Nutter said the faculty tend to overlook WVU Tech and that the senate must strive to be more in-clusive, though the manner of doing so is not yet apparent.
“We need to keep in mind that these other campuses exist,” he said.

and the program generally takes three years to complete, Helm said.

“We’ve noticed twitching around his eyes and hope this is a sign that the nervous system is regenerating,” Ken said in the update. “I know this is early, but the decision to bring him to Kes-

tions are still being collected for the fundraiser, and items from the auction can still be bought.

Massey: Mine clear of gases before explosion
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Air samples did not show high lev-els of explosive gases just before an explosion in a West Virginia coal mine that killed 29 work-ers, and what caused the disas-ter remains unknown, the mine’s owner said Monday.
Massey Energy Co. board di-rector Stanley Suboleski said the samples were taken by foremen as part of a shift-change exam at the Upper Big Branch mine, just “tens of minutes” before the blast.
Massey spokesman Jeff Gil-lenwater later said he could not be more specifi c about the time. Th e examination also showed that air fl ow in the underground mine was fi ne, Suboleski said.
“All the indicators are that at the start of the shift, everything was OK,” said Suboleski, a min-ing engineer.
Suboleski, two other Massey board directors and Chief Execu-tive Don Blankenship spoke at a company news conference Mon-day to address several issues re-lated to the explosion, the na-tion’s worst coal mining disaster in 40 years.
“Th is has left us humbled and hurt, and searching for answers,” Blankenship said.
The news conference was
held a day after President Ba-rack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Gov. Joe Manchin led a memorial for the fallen miners. Two other miners were injured in the blast.
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration has is-sued the mine eight citations for violating preshift examination rules in 2010. Suboleski told re-porters that 60 percent of the vio-lations in the last 16 months were deemed “nonserious or nonsub-stantial” by inspectors, and that the overall number was compa-rable to those at similar Appala-chian coalfi eld operations.
Suboleski noted the “inordi-nate” amount of MSHA orders last year alleging the most seri-ous kinds of violations. Massey assigned two full-time employ-ees to the mine in response, he said, and the agency issued 80 percent fewer such orders in the seven months before the blast.
While adding that he was not alleging they had made the mine less safe, Suboleski also cited how MSHA ordered changes to the ventilation system that Massey’s engineers initially op-posed. Th ese changes made the system more complicated and reduced its air fl ow, he said.
MSHA spokeswoman Amy
Louviere said such “adverse mining conditions” as heaving fl oors and accumulating water preceded Massey’s decision to adopt the changes.
“Th e system in place could not be eff ectively maintained by the operator to ventilate the mine,” Louviere said. “Massey had one of two choices: either repair the conditions or revise the ventila-tion plan.”
Massey Board Director Bobby Inman called allegations that the company put profi ts over safety a “big lie.” He blamed such sen-timent on plaintiff s lawyers and leaders of the AFL-CIO and United Mine Workers union. Th e UMW said Monday that it would help investigate the blast, and both it and the AFL-CIO rejected Inman’s comments as spin.
“The big truth is, 52 peo-ple have been killed on Massey property since 2000,” said Phil Smith, a UMW spokesman. “No other coal company has had even half that. Th e numbers are pretty clear.”
Inman also repeated the board’s recent expression of confi dence in Blankenship, who has become lightning rod for criticism of the Richmond, Va.,-based company and its handling of the mine.

Adult Swim hosting block party today
BY DAVID RYANA&E EDITOR
Th e cable network responsible for fast food items living in New Jersey and a robot chicken will be in Morgantown today.
Adult Swim, the mature off shoot of Cartoon Network, is hosting a block party at the VFW from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and admission is free.
Th e “Adult Swim Block Party and Rag-bag of Jollifi cation” is a nationwide tour of 10 college campuses.
Stacey Moscatelli, director of market-ing for Adult Swim, said the channel reg-ularly holds events for college students.
“We’ve always kind of done stuff like this – not necessarily a carnival – but we’ve always done tours and visited col-lege campuses since the beginning” of the network, she said.
Moscatelli said college campuses are “a good connection” for the network. Much of the channel’s ratings are col-lege students.
“We all know college kids are big fans, so we like to hit campuses as much as we can,” she said. “We know they’re poor, and we like to give them some free stuff .”
Th e event will be in the style of a car-nival, complete with typical fi xtures, such as a ring-toss. An event press re-lease even says “clown possible.”
“It’s pretty much traditional carni-val games ... but with an updated, Adult Swim-design and theme to it,” she said.
Live music will be off ered by indie rock band Steel Train. According to the All Music Guide, the band takes “a post-punk approach to the hoary sounds of ’70s album-oriented rock.”
Th e tour will also feature free T-shirts, both custom-made on site and from a large selection available featuring net-work characters.
Adult Swim previously visited Mor-gantown for the premiere of the “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” movie in 2007.
Costumed characters of Meatwad, Frylock and Master Shake were seen pa-
rading in front of the Warner Th eatre.“Morgantown was good to us on the
movie tour, and we know we’ve got some good fans there,” Moscatelli said. “We try to get there whenever we can.”
Unlike the movie tour, the characters won’t be making an appearance.
Th ose characters are tied up with the “Adult Swim Characters Live!” tour.
Video game fans can also preview four new releases from Capcom, includ-ing “Super Street Fighter IV,” “Lost Planet 2” and “Dead Rising 2.”
Th e VFW is located on the corner of Spruce and Willey streets.

Continued focus on mine disaster necessaryStories that should stay fresh
in the minds of society are some-times cast to the wayside.
For whatever reason, news that should stay in the public consciousness is set aside in fa-vor of more sensational topics.
Th e explosion that killed 29 miners at the Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, W.Va., is one such news story.
In recent days, Massey Energy Co. executives have gone on the record defending the compa-ny’s safety record, its commit-ment to miner safety over profi ts
or production and the impor-tance of maintaining its current leadership team in this time of controversy and shareholder concerns.
Speaking at a news conference at the Charleston Civic Center, Th e Pittsburgh Post-Gazette re-ported Monday Massey board director Bobby R. Inman said allegations that the company “traded off safety for profi ts” are simply lies propagated by the media, a lawyer in a suit against Massey, the president of the AFL-CIO, the head of the United
Mineworkers and even the presi-dent of the United States.
Th e company has also insisted that samples taken by a foreman during a shift change just “tens of minutes” before the blast in-dicated that air quality at Upper Big Branch was normal.
Claims like these, when taken in light of such a horrifi c di-saster, show the necessity for a complete investigation into the causes for and circumstances surrounding the blast.
Yes, it has been touching to see such wonderful support
from across campus, the state and the nation.
And yes, it is, at a minimum, honorable (if not entirely ex-pected) of Massey to off er sub-stantial benefi ts the company has given to the families of the miners that were killed.
We cannot forget what hap-pened. We cannot stop asking questions until a full investiga-tion is complete, the causes of the blast are known and mea-sures are taken to prevent such a catastrophe from happening ever again.
We applaud the work of ded-icated journalists who con-tinue to cover the developing stories related to the Upper Big Branch disaster and the rever-berations throughout the min-ing industry.
We hope the public continues to demand such stories.
And for the sake of the fam-ilies, we hope for a satisfac-tory resolution to help heal the wounds and fi ll the void by the loved ones they lost.

As the last week of classes commences, seniors prepare for graduation – the last event many of us will attend as students of West Virginia University. It is a huge step toward integration into the real world.
Is a celebration of our cumula-tive eff orts to gain useful knowl-edge and experience that will stay with us forever.
But it is also a large chunk of change from our pockets.
According to the West Virginia University Offi ce of Admissions,
the current cost of tuition and fees are $5,304 for in-state stu-dents and $16,402 for those who are from outside the state.
Yet, this is just the generic cost.
Many degree programs have tuition costs that range from $5,454 for in-state theatre majors to $6,406 for in-state biometrics majors.
In the current cost of atten-dance calculation, the Univer-sity allots $936 to $1,008 for per-sonal expenses per year. As we all know, this amount is insig-nifi cant in comparison to the amount we spend per year to live in the city of Morgantown.
Parking alone adds up de-pending on where and how long
you park. Even if you’re inclined to save, it doesn’t take long for $936 to dwindle away.
Just so we are on the same page, that is approximately $104 a month, $3.47 a day.
I’m pretty sure I spend $4 a day in parking and printing in the library.
Needless to say, by the end of the spring semester, there aren’t too many dollars left in your pocket to pay the neces-sary expenses to participate in graduation.
As of now, in order to walk at graduation, you must fi rst pay the $39 graduation fee and then purchase your cap, gown and tassel for $41.98.
Th ese are just the basic items
needed to participate. Th e book-store and other similar stores around town sell graduation packages that include gradua-tion announcements and thank you notes for $100 more.
Other costs include gradua-tion photos (because most col-leges don’t allow friends and family to approach the stage to take photos), additional tran-scripts, an alumni services fee of $25 per year (this gives you the ability to continue to use career services and its Mountaineer TRAK program) and, of course, all outstanding library fi nes and parking violations.
Th is hefty expense comes at an inopportune time – we are pack-ing, moving, job hunting and
pretty much starting our lives. Unfortunately, those of us who
have to support ourselves do not have the money to spend on graduation, which is why I pro-pose to include graduation costs into tuition.
Th is does not necessarily mean tuition should increase. Th e Uni-versity should reevaluate what is included in tuition and recon-sider the importance of diff erent expenses.
Elizabeth Reynolds, associate vice president for planning and treasury operations at WVU, told the Dominion Post that tuition currently applies to many cam-pus off erings.
Th ese include things like ac-cess to the computer labs, PRT
and Mountain Line bus services, library services and student af-fairs services such as WVU Up All Night and movies at the Mountainlair.
Tuition also includes media expenses as well as admissions to sporting events, operations at the Mountainlair and access to the Student Recreation Center.
Not all students have the chance to utilize these services or even attend a football game. Th ey will, however, most likely partici-pate in the commencement cer-emony (if all goes right).
Graduation expenses for com-mencement should be included in tuition and fee costs.
It just seems more fair to all of us.

Th e end is nigh for “Lost.”After six seasons of time-
bending, brain-aching drama of twists, turns and confound-ingly odd plot developments, the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 will soon have some kind of resolution.
I say “some kind,” because when it comes to “Lost,” noth-ing ever makes any sense. Not logically, anyway, nor with any sense of predictability.
Th e fi nal season is now wind-ing down with only four ep-isodes remaining to tie up all the loose ends.
Rather annoyingly, there is no new episode this week. ABC, in its infi nite wisdom, has broken up the fi nal four episodes with seemingly no explanation.
The only inference I can make is this episode has been moved to accommodate the two-hour fi nale scheduled to air May 23.
As mentioned before, the show has been on for six years and has plenty of confusing el-
ements to tie up.Th e show has long confused
its audience with various plot devices – the mysterious island, its mysterious other inhabitants and the mysterious Dharma Inititative, a group researching the eff ects of the island.
Th e show added a complex time-travel arc last season that saw the islanders living and working with the Dharma Ini-tiative in the ’70s.
In an attempt to get back to the Island of 2004, the group detonated a bomb that set up this season’s complications – alternate timelines.
Th ere are now two realities of the characters – one reality as if the plane never crashed, and the reality with our characters struggling to get off the island.
Th row in a battle of good ver-sus evil and you’re left with a heap of things to resolve.
Show creators Damon Lin-delof and Carlton Cuse recently told Wired Magazine there will be some conclusion to the par-allel storylines.
Recent episodes have seen Desmond, first introduced pressing a Dharma button ev-ery 108 minutes, gathering the same group of people in the al-
ternate reality that are currently on the island.
“Th e audience is saying, ‘I hope they explain the relation-ship between these two stories,’ and that, to us, is the only an-swer we owe,” Lindelof said. “Because at this point, the char-acters are not aware that there’s any timeline other than the one they are in. But if they were to become aware of the paral-lel worlds, what might they do about it? Th at becomes a fun-damental question.”
Th at statement is a massive understatement. We have seen what their lives would have been without their crash, and they still intermingle.
After six seasons, the show creators owe a lot to us. To sim-ply disregard signifi cant plot de-vices will be a disservice to the audience, and it won’t just be to retain a sense of mystery of the show but of lazy storytelling.
In preparation for the event, ABC will air the pilot episode of the show before the two hour fi -nale at 9 p.m. May 23.
I, like much of the show’s fans, await with uncertainty and hope.

Avi Buff alo’s latest a boring album, lacks experience, professionalism
Eighteen-year-old Avigdor Zah-ner-Isenberg aka Avi Buff alo and his three fellow band mates, who have yet to graduate college, are as new to Sub Pop Records as they are to adulthood, so experience isn’t on their side.
Th e band’s self-titled debut al-bum, which is released today, may appeal to a handful of indie-folk enthusiasts.
Otherwise, it’s a lukewarm ef-fort capable of boring the pants off its listeners.
Most of the album is distantly reminiscent of New Mexico’s Th e Shins, subbing saxes for any trumpets ,and featuring light, airy vocals.
While it may not be a direct in-fl uence, Avi Buff alo shares with the Ohio quartet Pomegranates a dreamy, clean sound that be-comes fatigued after the fi rst cou-ple of tracks, especially during “Coaxed.”
Th e acoustic, overdriven elec-
tric guitar tracking, in addition to the double tracking of vocals dur-ing most verses suggest Th e Shin’s infl uence.
Th is recording tactic, which re-veals any tonal inconsistencies between the two vocal tracks, pro-vides a full, purposefully unprofes-sional eff ect.
However, it does not make up for what Zahner-Isenberg has to say.
Th e band’s lyrics are playful but are at times too light hearted to be taken seriously.
Lines like those featured in “What’s in it for?,” the band’s fi rst single, such as “You are tiny and your lips look like bacon,” disarm any serious emotional connec-tion a listener could make with this album.
“Five Little Sluts” is the album’s highlight.
Th e track is one of the few songs on the album that promotes any sort of interesting harmonic mo-tion between the bass and lead guitars.
“Jessica,” however, is what one would expect from an average teenage boy.
Th e teenage relationship anxi-
ety is almost palpable.Much like Th e Allman Brothers
Band song of the same name, Avi Bufalo’s “Jessica” is complete with guitar solos but poorly written and performed.
Check this out if you happen to like Th e Shins or Pomegranates without any interesting musical moments or catchy hooks.

Justin Bieber concert canceled due to crowd safety concernsSYDNEY (AP) — Th ousands of
frenzied teenagers, who spent the night camped out by Sydney Harbour awaiting a concert by pop star Justin Bieber, surged to-ward the venue Monday morn-ing, sending at least eight girls to the hospital and injuring several more.
Police canceled the perfor-mance after the swarm, which may have begun when rumors spread that the 16-year-old Ca-nadian heartthrob had arrived early.
In the crush, at least 10 girls fainted, and paramedics had to pull them out of the crowd, ac-cording to Australia’s Network Seven.
Of the eight sent to the hospital, one fractured her knee cap, though most had hyperventilated.
“We were expecting this to be the biggest concert we ever had, but we just couldn’t have foreseen this scale,” said Grant Denyer, the weather presenter for Network Seven’s Sunrise program, which was planning to broadcast the open-air concert.
Police said the station was well prepared, but that the frenzy of 5,000 fans got out of control.
“Th ey wouldn’t listen to our directions, so hence they left us with no option,” Deputy Commis-sioner Dave Owens told report-ers, adding it was a concern that so many youngsters were out at night without their parents.
Monica Caruana, 14, said the commotion started when the venue opened early.
“The doors were meant to open at 5, but they opened at 3 for some reason and everyone bolted,” she said, adding that
one of her friends was “knocked out” in the chaos. Th e singer was meant to take the stage just be-fore 8 a.m.
Jessica Whatmore said she feared she would be trampled in all the pushing and shoving.
“I couldn’t wait to get out of
there,” said the 13-year-old.After the cancellation, many
of the girls went to Network Sev-en’s studios, where they caught a glimpse of Bieber through a win-dow before he performed his hit “Baby” on the stage there.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year, you advance a key project or goal. The going might not always be smooth, but it’s worthwhile. A partnership could play a sig-nifi cant role in events and how they unfurl. Others often give you more than enough feed-back. Your ideas count. If you are single, you have quite the selec-tion of suitors. Get to know each person, and then decide if they fi t with what you want for your-self. If you are attached, allow your sweetie to have more say. He or she will appreciate your confidence. SCORPIO can be challenging.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ Your imagina-tion takes off . You might be hard-pressed to stay present in the moment. Others de-mand more attention. Your ability to concentrate (de-spite yourself ) could make or break you. A partner pulls in close later today. A one-on-one chat makes both of you a little uncomfortable. Tonight: Dinner for two.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★★ Dive into the job at hand. Complete paperwork and make key calls. If you are feeling overwhelmed, ask for some support. A boss might
be messing up a project with his or her vagueness. You need to add clarity. Tonight: So many options. What would you like to do?
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★★ Allow your good mood and fun style to infuse a boring job or project with new enthusiasm. You might be seeing a situation through very diff erent eyes than oth-ers. Prepare to spell out this perspective as if you were speaking to a child. Tonight: Squeeze in a walk or a visit to the gym.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★★ Getting going could be difficult, especially as home is where you most like to be. If you are feeling tired or pushed, go easy on your-self. If possible, start work late. Midafternoon, you return to your energetic self. Tonight: A late dinner.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★ Make calls and schedule meetings early. Late afternoon, you will want to re-fl ect on what you have heard. Some of you will close your door simply to be able to con-centrate and clear out a proj-ect. A friend wants your atten-tion. Tonight: Bring extra work home.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★ Take a hard look at a business deal or an expen-diture. Make sure it is worth the costs. You have an idea of what you will receive, but the reality could be quite diff er-ent. Initiate an important con-versation late in the day. To-night: Run an errand fi rst.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★ Plunge into work, but understand that although you see the logic of a situa-tion, you might need to spell it out to an associate who has a diff erent thought process. Get down to brass tacks later today. Tonight: Buy a card or token of aff ection.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★ Take your time reveal-ing your idea. Thoughts that race through your mind are intensely personal. You might wonder if you can focus on the job at hand. You can and will late this afternoon. To-night: Feeling better.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★ Keep your eye on the big picture. Your mind drifts with ease as it spins out new ideas. Take your time nailing down each detail of a plan. Think positively. Tonight: Much-needed personal time.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★ Take on a challenge dutifully, and work with it. You might see a lot more money involved than you thought possible. Meetings later today help you nail down details. Ask an associate for some feedback. Tonight: Where the action is.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★ Meetings might be more important than you originally thought. You are doing quite a juggling act as you work with one partner while trying to visualize and incorporate innovation. Make a call to a loved one at lunch-time. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★★ A partner demands a lot of your attention, feed-back and answers. Though you might be uncomfort-able, you do what is needed. Late afternoon, study alterna-tives to a problem. Call in ex-perts. Tonight: Try a new local restaurant.

Mountaineers place sixth in Big East RegattaBY JAMIE MCCRACKEN
SPORTS WRITER
The West Virginia rowing team fi nished in sixth place at the Big East Conference Cham-pionship Regatta Sunday.
The Mountaineers finished with 63 points, 25 points bet-ter than last year’s last-place fi nish.
“Our overall team perfor-mance was the most complete in my short time here at WVU,” said the Mountaineers’ third-year head coach Jimmy King. “Our team is much improved, and al-though we were disappointed to not place a bit higher in some events, we can’t overlook the fact that we are indeed racing at a higher level than before.”
Notre Dame captured its sev-enth-straight Big East Champi-onship. Th e Fighting Irish fi n-ished with 121 points, winning

tionably, the deepest program in the conference,” King said. “Th at’s a credit to their coach-ing staff and their student-athletes.”
Georgetown also capped off a notable fi nish, placing second with 93 points. Th e Hoyas had three silver medalist boats, as well as a bronze. Other teams fi nishing above WVU were Syr-acuse (84), Louisville (80) and Connecticut (70).
With a time of 7:37.155, WVU defeated Villanova in the varsity 8+ petite fi nals, and the Moun-taineers defeated the Wildcats in the second varsity 8+ pe-tite fi nals (8:05.743). Led by ju-nior coxswain Anastasia Du-Pont, the Mountaineers’ varsity 4+ boat fi nished in third place (8:33:214) and took home a bronze medal.
“We can’t be satisfied un-less we’ve won,” King said. “I’m pleased with the improvements we’ve made in the past couple of weeks to achieve the perfor-mances we had this weekend.”
WVU’s novice 8+ boat placed fourth (8:02.346), edging out Louisville (8:03.654) and Syra-cuse (8:24.194).
Th e team has one race left on its spring schedule. It will travel to Cherry Hill, N.J., to compete in the Eastern College Athletic Conference Regatta Saturday.
“Like last week, we need to have consistently good workouts through the week along with an increasing focus as we get closer to race day,” King said. “Because we’re in the last week of classes that might be a bit more chal-lenging, but the team under-stands all of that.”
Tickets available for Gold-Blue Game
newly appointed head coach Tim Floyd granted Curry and another signee a release.
Curry played at Stratford High School in Houston as a senior where he averaged 19 points, seven rebounds and two assists. He played his fi rst three years at Elsik High School where he av-eraged 10 points as a freshman, 20 points as a sophomore and 15 points as a junior.
Th e left-hander fi nished his high school career as a McDon-ald’s All-American fi nalist.
CURRYContinued from PAGE 10
47th-best overall player nationally by ESPN.com.
Although the Mountaineers were upset in the second round of the NCAA Tournament by San Di-ego State, they still fi nished with a program-best record of 29-6. Four of the team’s six losses came to top four teams.

Male Rookie of the YearJunior-transfer Nicco Cam-
priani wasn’t able to cap off his spectacular season with a NCAA National Championship for the WVU rifl e team, but it doesn’t take much away from what the junior accomplished in his fi rst year as a collegiate player.
Campriani attended the Uni-versity of Florence (Italy) for three years before joining the Moun-taineers. After sitting out the en-tire fi rst semester of competition due to NCAA transfer rules, Cam-priani came out of the gates with little hesitation.
In his fi rst match against N.C. State, Campriani shot 593 in air rifl e and a 587 smallbore score to record a school-record aggregate score of 1,180. WVU then wel-comed then-No. 1 Alaska-Fair-banks, and Campriani set or tied four school records en route to a program-best aggregate score of 1,185. He shot a school-record 589 smallbore and tied a school re-cord with a 596 mark in air rifl e. His standing score of 195 in small-bore also tied a school record.
The success continued
throughout the year for the fi rst-year Mountaineer as he won the Great American Rifl e Conference smallbore, air rifl e and combined score championship. Campriani fi nished the season with a team-best 1,185.83 combined score av-erage, 596 air rifl e average and a 589.83 smallbore average.
He was named fi rst-team all-American in air rifl e and small-bore – the only Mountaineer to be named to both fi rst teams.
2. Tavon Austin, football3. Shane Young, wrestling
Most Improved Player of the Year
When the WVU men’s basket-ball team and standout Da’Sean Butler needed a right-hand man, it was sophomore Kevin Jones who stepped up.
After averaging 6.3 points and 4.9 rebounds as a freshman, Jones may have had a hard time scripting a better sophomore campaign.
As just one of three players to start in all 38 games, Jones was one of the most consistent play-ers on the off ensive side of the ball for the Mountaineers. Other than senior Butler, Jones was able to hit the baskets when West Virginia needed them most.
Averaging 33 minutes per game, Jones’ scoring skyrocketed as he fi nished second on the team with 13.5 points. Th e sophomore was second on the team with 7.2 rebounds per game behind NBA-bound teammate Devin Ebanks who averaged 8.1 boards.
Th e Mount Vernon, N.Y., native registered double-fi gure scoring in all but seven games and re-
corded career-high point totals of 22 and 23 points in the same week in the Mountaineers’ wins over Coppin State and Cleveland State.
He scored double-fi gures in all of the Mountaineers’ postseason games with the exception of the Final Four loss to Duke.
After just one double-double in his rookie campaign, Jones fi n-ished with fi ve as a sophomore while being named to the all-Big East Tournament and all-East Re-gion teams.

Teams end strong season with loss to Fighting Irish in Big East Tournament
BY MICHAEL CARVELLISPORTS WRITER
All great seasons must come to an end.
For the West Virginia wom-en’s tennis team, that end came last week at the Big East Con-ference Tournament in South Bend, Ind.
Th e Mountaineers, who fi n-ished the season with a fi nal re-cord of 17-7 and 7-3 in confer-ence play, were able to make some noise early in the tourna-ment before losing in their sec-ond-round match against even-tual conference champion Notre Dame.
On Th ursday, eighth-seeded WVU came away with a 4-2 win over ninth-seeded Cincinnati to advance to the second round.
“I am really excited that we came out and played as well as we did all year,” said WVU head coach Marc Walters in a release. “Everyone contributed to the
win and hung in there without giving anything away.”
The Mountaineers swept the doubles point before win-ning three out of the fi ve singles matches. Veronica Cardenas and Ashley Pilsbury both picked up straight set wins for WVU.
Cardenas, playing from the No. 3 seed, defeated Cincinna-ti’s Lindsey Lonergan 6-4, 7-5. Pilsbury beat Abby Mayo in the sixth spot in the lineup 6-0, 7-5.
Freshman Emily Mathis clinched the win with a three-set victory over Elise Woulfe.
On Friday, the Mountaineers ran into a Notre Dame team that came into the tournament ranked No. 6 in the nation. WVU lost 4-0.
“Notre Dame is going for a national title, and they played up to their reputation today,” Walters said in a release. “I was pleased with our eff ort, and we did our best the entire match.”
Th e Irish clinched the match when Kali Krisik beat Ash-ley Pilsbury 6-0, 6-0 in straight sets.
After their loss to Notre Dame, WVU was supposed to play a consolation match Saturday that could have given them a top-six fi nish in the tournament.
But, due to inclement weather, the matches were can-celed, ending the season.
Seniors Stephanie LaFortune and Gabriela Blaskovicova will graduate this semester.
In the Big East Tournament, LaFortune fi nished her Moun-taineer career with a straight set loss to Cincinnati’s Kse-nia Slynko and didn’t play in the match against Notre Dame Friday.
The remaining players in-cluding several key mem-bers return next season for the Mountaineers.

Weather conditions hurt chances for additional conference qualifi ers
BY BRAD JOYALSPORTS WRITER
Cold weather, heavy rain and wind are never elements track teams want to battle.
Unfortunately for the West Vir-ginia University track and fi eld team, it had to deal with those obstacles in its fi nal outdoor reg-ular season meet at the St. Fran-cis Father Bede Hines Invita-tional in Loretto, Pa., Saturday.
Mountaineer head track and field coach Sean Cleary was proud of his team’s performance despite the conditions it was forced to face.
Although WVU didn’t have any new athletes qualify for next weekend’s Big East Conference Championships, Cleary said he was happy to see his team end the season strong.
“Th e weather was a very big factor in the outcome of individ-ual performances,” Cleary said. “Cold, rainy and windy are the conditions that we pray we don’t get. Th at’s what we were faced with.”
Sophomore Aubrey Moskal led West Virginia, fi nishing fi rst
in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 4:48.19.
Th e Mountaineers continued their success on the track with very strong performances in the mid-distance dashes. Th e team began strong with sophomore Kelly Fortune fi nishing second in the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.62.
West Virginia continued its success in the 400-meter dash where the team took four of the top fi ve spots. Freshman Arielle Gaither placed second (59.94) while junior Brittany Wolford fol-lowed in 1:00.48 to fi nish third.
Junior Jordan Mitchell and sophomore Kyllie Bebout ended in 1:00.83 and 1:03.04 to fi nish fourth and fi fth, respectively.
“Th e girls in the 1,500 meter ran very good races for the most part,” Cleary said. “Mid-distance is an area that we are currently very strong in, and the results showed that.”
Th e Mountaineers also had success in the field events. Terina Miller fi nished second in the hammer throw with a 45.95 toss. Th e junior followed up her performance with a seventh-
place fi nish (11.47 meters) in the shot put.
Senior Brittany Fink fi nished third in the discus with a mark of 38.72 meters.
Both marks fell short of quali-fying for the Big East Champion-ships, and although Cleary was upset, the coach said it will be a strong motivator for his athletes entering next season.
“The throwers continue to compete hard,” he said. “If the weather cooperates next week, they should be rewarded with lifetime best throws.”
As the team prepares for the Big East Championships next weekend, Cleary feels that his team’s regular season was a success.
“I wish we had a few more qualify for the Big East meet, but we’re still sending a very deep squad,” he said. “At the be-ginning of the year, our goals revolved around being at full strength (entering the postsea-son). I feel very strongly that we are ready to accomplish what we set out to do.”

Rivalries fuel spring footballThink back for a second
to your time as a high school athlete.
No matter which sport, no matter your skill level, you had a rival.
It may have been a team or even a specific player.
It may have been a friendly ri-valry or, as in my case, you may have hated that school, their colors and everyone associated with that program.
Now, imagine taking that competition to another level – the Division I football level.
There, everyone you battle against is a great athlete; every team you play can be the dif-ference between a memorable bowl game in the South or an embarrassing one in Toronto.
But the biggest of rivalries may not even take place in the fall, but in spring camp. Some of the best and most interest-ing rivalries actually exist be-tween squads and between teammates.
Spring camp can be long and, at times, boring. Four days a week the players go to the same field, do the same stretches and perform the same drills – all while knowing they can’t use what they’re learning for an-other five months.
It can get old after a while.But that’s where those rival-
ries come in. For the West Vir-ginia football team, the offense hates the defense. The defense hates the offense. Every player competes with another, whether it be someone trying to win his spot or a player on the opposite side of the ball trying to pad his statistics.
“It gives you something to practice for,” said WVU line-backer J.T. Thomas.
“You want to have some kind of drive that gets you through practice. So if you can develop those love-hate relationships, it makes practice more fun and more exciting.”
It’s not all friendly. There are always those little arguments and those scuffles that turn a head and raise an eyebrow. As with any team, such events usually happen on a daily ba-sis in the Mountaineers’ spring camp.
There have been those line of scrimmage standoffs between the WVU offense and defense. There have been sideline argu-ments where one player calls out another for not playing hard enough.
“It can get ugly at times,” said defensive tackle Chris Neild.
But it’s certainly not a bad thing. It gives a team a pulse and pushes everyone to get better.
After all, with the season opener still five months away, there’s not too much to compete against.
Moments like those may oc-cur between the offensive and defensive lines or maybe when someone lays an unnecessary hit on a ball carrier.
It’s football. It happens.As long as nobody gets hurt,
it’s all a part of the team-build-ing process.
For instance, now when a scuffle breaks out during a WVU practice, instead of joining in on the argument, one side will start chanting the color of its jersey – the defense in blue, the offense in white.
It’s not just a competition be-tween two groups of 11 players, though.
For Thomas, it’s tight end Will Johnson.
“Me and Will go at it,” Thomas said. “Anytime we get a chance to make contact, we will. We just have the same body type, so we’re always trying to out-do each other. I think me and him would race to our cars if we had to.”
For Neild, it’s both guards and the center – whoever they may be.
“I have a rivalry against three,” he said. “The defensive line has a rivalry against every one of the offensive linemen. But we all know why we’re out there.”
It’s what makes the otherwise dry and uneventful spring prac-tice worth its while.
In the meantime, West Vir-ginia head coach Bill Stewart hopes his players improve and learn something in the process.
“After practice, we’re broth-ers,” Stewart said. “What hap-pens out here stays out here. That’s football.”

Struggling WVU baseball team hosts Duquesne for second time this season
Huggins adds forward to 2010 recruiting class
Men’s b-ball named Team of the Year
BY BRIAN GAWTHROPASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Bob Huggins lost one forward in Devin Ebanks but signed a replacement Monday.
The West Virginia head coach announced the signing of Houston native Darrious Curry, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound forward.
Curry becomes the third player in the Mountaineers’ 2010 recruiting class, joining point guard and Logan, W.Va., native Noah Cottrill and cen-ter David Nyarsuk of Moun-tain State Academy in Beck-
ley, W.Va.“Darrious fi lls a void that
we have at small forward with the losses of Da’Sean (Butler) and Devin,” Huggins said in a release.
“We lost all of our size on the wing, and our size is critical to our success. We wanted to add more size to our perimeter.”
Curry previously signed with University of Texas at El Paso in November under then-head coach Tony Barbee. Af-ter Barbee left to take the head coaching position at Auburn,

It was a season to remember for the West Virginia men’s basket-ball team.
Expectations had never been higher for the Mountaineers as they entered the season with a top 10 ranking in numerous polls, and West Virginia was able to live up to all the hype.
After a disappointing loss on the road to Connecticut Feb. 22, the Mountaineers did the un-thinkable, winning their next 10 games, including the program’s fi rst Big East Conference Cham-pionship, and their fi rst berth in the NCAA Final Four since 1959.
For its eff orts, the team was unanimously selected by The Daily Athenaeum sports staff as the Team of the Year for the 2009-10 athletic season.
West Virginia used the hero-
ics of forward Da’Sean Butler in two of its three Big East Tourna-ment games as the senior hit a game-winning 3-point shot in the Mountaineers’ opening round win over Cincinnati and con-nected on a layup against George-town in the closing seconds to claim the title.
After winning their fi rst three NCAA Tournament games, the Mountaineers upset No. 1 seed Kentucky 73-66 to earn a spot in the Final Four.
West Virginia started the year winning 13 of its fi rst 14 games with its only loss coming on the road to then-No. 4 Purdue. Dur-ing the run, the Mountaineers won the 76 Classic Champion-ship, beating Portland in the fi -nal, 84-66.
Th e team fi nished the season 31-7 including a third place reg-ular season fi nish in the Big East. Th ree of the team’s seven losses came by a margin of three or fewer points.

Female Rookie of the YearTh e West Virginia women’s bas-
ketball team had one of the best seasons in the program’s history.
Freshman Asya Bussie played a major role in the team’s success.
Th e Mountaineers struggled to an 18-15 fi nal record a year ago due to the lack of a true post presence. It all changed this year in Bussie’s fi rst year as a Mountaineer.
The 6-foot-5 freshman was second on the team with 5.5 re-bounds per contest and third in scoring to earn DA Sports Female Athlete of the Year honors, receiv-ing eight of the possible 12 fi rst-place votes.
She was one of the two play-ers on the team to start in all 35 games this season. Bussie was third on the team, averaging 10.1 points per game including 16 dou-ble-fi gure scoring games. She fi n-ished with a career-high 19 points against Eastern Kentucky Dec. 8.

The West Virginia baseball team will take a welcomed break from Big East Conference action to face Duquesne tonight.
The Mountaineers (17-23) host the Dukes (8-33) at 7 p.m. at Hawley Field. Th is is the sec-ond meeting of the two squads. In the fi rst last Tuesday, WVU routed the Dukes 23-6.
Earlier in the year, WVU head coach Greg Van Zant said the non-conference games are not nearly as important as Big East games; however, the Mountain-eers should never overlook their
opponents.“It’s always good when we are
relieved by an out-of-confer-ence game in the middle of the season,” Van Zant said. “Th e Big East is grueling, and every game is tough even when you do go out of conference.”
Facing Duquesne may just be the cure the Mountaineers need after getting swept by No. 24 Pittsburgh over the weekend.
Although the Dukes enter the meeting with a sub-par record, they have shown the ability to compete against a stronger club. Duquesne squeaked out a 10-9 win over Atlantic-10 Conference rival St. Bonaventure Sunday.
Mark Tracy singled in the game-winning run in the bot-tom of the ninth. Tracy, a senior, leads the team in home runs (11) and RBI (36). Opposing pitchers like to work around the slugger as he leads the Dukes in walks (21), as well.
Tracy is accompanied by an-other big bat, Andrew Heck. Th e Pittsburgh native leads the team with a .671 slugging percentage. His .384 batting average is also top on the team.
WVU currently holds a seven-game winning streak over the Dukes.
