UVa-Wise has seen a more-than 50 percent climb in the number of freshmen applicants to the college since the institu-tion’s name change in 2000, of-ficials say.
About 1,028 prospective students have applied for fall admission to UVa-Wise — the second most in college history
— as of March 15, the col-lege’s second early admissions date, said Rusty Necessary, vice chancellor for enrollment man-agement.
That number falls just short of 2009, which saw 1,063 appli-cations, Necessary said.
“The freshman interest for next fall is certainly up,” he said.
But enrollment deposits for freshmen early admissions are down 10 percent from this
point last year, some-thing Nec-essary said s u g g e s t s students are being more selective in their appli-cation pro-cess.
“For a lot of reasons, in-cluding the economy, students are a little more hesitant to de-
posit,” he said.About 696 freshmen appli-
cants have been admitted so far this year; 704 were admitted in total in 2010.
“We’re still on the right track to meet our admission goals,” Necessary said.
High school students con-tinue to express a strong inter-est in attending UVa-Wise — a reflection of the willingness of
Student work from freshman seminar classes will be on dis-play in “The Integrity Project,” opening at 1 p.m. on Monday in the Gilliam Center for the Arts.

The area’s new-est representative used an on-campus energy summit to criticize the Obama administra-tion for not exploring what he called the vast untapped oil deposits in locations like the Rocky Mountains and Alaska.
Rep. Morgan Grif-fith (R-Salem) spoke at the fourth annual En-ergy Technology Sum-mit Monday in Cantrell Hall.
The event was sponsored by the Southwestern Virginia Technology Council.
During the sum-mit, representatives from energy companies like BP, Alpha Natural Resources and Domin-ion Resources spoke about their companies’ innovations in energy production.
Griffith said he be-lieves Obama is stifling what could be massive energy production that might help counter high energy prices.
“I believe that we, as a nation, have a higher percentage of oil reserves in this

Freshman Ronnie Speakman drew number 717 in this year’s lottery. He said he and his poten-tial roommate wanted to live in Asbury or Thompson, but doubts he’ll be able to now since he drew such a high number — just three below the highest.

Three hundred eighty-one students drew numbers in Wednesday’s housing lottery, which will guarantee everyone who drew a number a bed on campus next year, residence life officials say.
“The cutoff number is 720,” said Angie Lemke, director of residence life. “So all students who drew are guaranteed housing.”
Fewer students than last year drew — last year’s number was 429.
Lemke said she thinks making students pay their housing application fee before drawing a number — there-
by eliminating from the lottery those students who draw a number just to see what they would have gotten but have no intention of actually living on campus in the fall — contributed to the lower number of students drawing numbers and helped the whole process run smoothly all day.
“This [was] probably one of the smoothest lotteries we’ve ever had,” she said.
Only about a dozen students came to the lottery without the required re-ceipt from the cashier’s office indicat-ing they had paid their fee, and they were able to go pay the fee and return for their number, she said.

Burglary reported near campusBy Jordan FiferNews [email protected]
A reported burglary near the college led campus police to issue an e-mail alert to students, faculty and staff Thursday.
A woman moving into a home on Wright Avenue — off Coeburn Road and near Darden Drive — called 911 shortly before 12:30 p.m. after reportedly finding a stranger in her home, said Wise Police De-partment Chief Tony Bates.
“She come through the house, and he was standing in the living room,” Bates said.
The man told the homeowner “he for-got something [and] had to come back and get it,” Bates said.
The suspect ran from the house toward Stadium Drive and Carl Smith Stadium, Bates said.
He was described as a white male wearing blue jeans, a blue jacket, a black

country,” Griffith said, referring to the Obama administration’s estimate that the U.S. has only two percent of the world’s oil reserves.
If the federal government allowed more domestic oil production, Griffith argued, the country could see reduced prices for gas and new royalties and revenues that could be used for the cre-ation of new energy sources.
He said that while researching new sources of energy is always a good idea, companies shouldn’t focus on one par-ticular energy source.
“I believe in an all-of-the-above ap-proach for energy production,” Griffith said, when asked by an audience mem-ber about nuclear energy in the U.S.
But, he said, the government needs to look closer at safety regulations if and when new nuclear power plants open in the U.S.
G r i f f i t h also urged the Obama admin-
istration to invest in natural gas re-sources.
“Prosperity doesn’t happen over-night,” he said, referring to the need to invest in new models of energy produc-tion. “We should tap into prosperity.”

The crosswalk across Darden Drive, a long fought-for installation intended to ensure the safety of students walking to and from class, was the scene of a wreck involving three students earlier this week.
At around 9:20 a.m. Tuesday, a motorcy-clist drove into the back of a car which had stopped to let a student cross the road in the crosswalk, according to Virginia State Police Senior Trooper G.A. Powers.
Junior Brittany Fraizer was driving the car and sophomore Hunter Botts was on the motorcycle.
“[Botts] was unable to stop and struck her,” Powers said.
Botts was cited for following too closely, according to state police.
The motorcycle was towed away, and UVa-Wise Campus police and deputies with the Wise County Sheriff’s Department di-rected traffic around the accident for about an
hour.Botts was taken to a hospital after the
wreck, Powers said, and the pedestrian, whom neither state nor campus police were able to identify, was released to attend class after he spoke with police.
Botts was released from Holston Valley Medical Center by Thursday morning, ac-cording to hospital officials.
According to Botts on his Facebook page, he broke vertebrae in his back and will wear a brace to help heal.
Powers said Tuesday’s wreck was the first he’s worked involving the new crosswalk, which was installed last summer.
“It’s something new to everybody and probably that’s the problem,” he said.
UVa-Wise Campus Police Sgt. Ronnie Shortt said he knows of no concerns about the crosswalk that have been reported to campus police.
Because the crosswalk is on a Virginia roadway and not a campus street, the Virginia Department of Transportation has jurisdiction over the crosswalk, Powers said.

faculty to help in the recruitment pro-cess, he said.
“It helps us unlock those good students to get them off the market,” Necessary said. “The early admis-sions programs are very attractive to
students who are very intentional and have done the right things as a junior.”
Similarly, freshmen SAT and GPA scores are on the rise, too. That’s be-cause more students are being ac-cepted from areas outside the college’s
primary recruitment area in Southwest Virginia, Necessary said.
UVa-Wise is beginning to be no-ticed outside the area, and students are more and more interested in applying, he said.
“The reputation as we travel is that we are an institution on the move,” he said. “I think we are in good shape for the fall.”

SGA has money left in the coffer, and they’re looking to spend it.
The 2010-2011 SGA budget lists a conservative estimate of $8,910.11 left in funds as of March 17, according to the organization’s data. That’s about $4,000 more than where SGA left off at the end of the spring semester last year.
But money not spent this semester isn’t recouped next year, so the group is looking for campus improvement where the money can be spent, said SGA Presi-dent Stephanie Lawson.
“We want things that will help the most people on campus,” Lawson said.
SGA had a budget of $63,125 for the 2010-11 academic year, records show. That money comes from student fees.
Lawson this year started a 5K home-coming race for charity, which she said she hopes will become an annual tradi-tion. The group has also stepped up their community service efforts by volunteer-ing at and contributing to homeless shel-ters and nursing homes.
Much of the money spent this year has gone to student organizations — to help with travel expenses at conferences,
to fund new groups and to offset mem-bership costs, the SGA data shows.
Other major expenditures include an estimated $6,500 for homecoming, $3,262.82 for the winter Holly Ball and
$3,595 for new ex-ercise equipment in the Slemp Student Center gym.
The $8,900 left as of March 17 is only an estimate, be-cause it’s based on allocations to proj-ects that came in un-
der budget — like the Miss UVa-Wise pageant — or to projects that haven’t yet happened — like the Spring Formal dance.
That means SGA may still have in excess of $15,000 to spend.
Lawson and SGA Treasurer Luke Rasnick said the group hopes to invest in campus beautification projects, like planting flowers.
They hope to secure permission to paint Darden Drive red and gray, as well.
Lawson encouraged students with ideas to attend an SGA meeting, held every Friday at 1 p.m. on the fifth floor of the Slemp Student Center.
SGA looking for projects
Lawson
a senior biology major, said traffic moved steadily all day through the lot-tery line.
“There were a lot of people here when it opened and a lot during the convocation hour,” she said.
Sophomore Jake Freeman drew number one in the lottery.
“I actually went later in the day,” he said. “[I was] thinking it was too late and I was probably going to draw a super high number, but when I saw I had drawn number one I couldn’t help but smile.”
He said the people working the lottery got excited for him, too.
“They were yelling, ‘Yay where are the balloons and confetti we have our number 1,’” he said. “My friends were really excited for me and I guess you could say a little jealous because I knew one had drawn like 630-some-thing.”
He said he wants to live in Asbury because he stayed there over the sum-mer and liked having access to a living room and kitchen.
“Especially the kitchen, that saves on making late-night McDonald’s runs every night,” he said.
As of about 3 p.m. Wednesday, the lowest number in the lottery — 720 — had not been drawn, but Robbie Speakman, a freshman business ma-jor, pulled 717 as he went through the line.
“Not too good to be honest,” he said. “But it is what it is.”
His potential roommate, freshman Charlie Fiorella, drew a high number too, Speakman said. He said the pair were originally hoping to live in either Asbury or Thompson halls, “but not now.”
He said they will probably choose Culbertson, which he said will be an improvement from living in McCraray this year.
Junior nursing major Caitlyn Boyd also drew a high number Wednesday
afternoon — 612.“It sucks,” she said when she saw
her number. “I was hoping for under 200.”
She said her current roommate, sophomore nursing major Erica McK-
eller, with whom she plans to live next year, drew 577. The pair were also hoping to land a room in Asbury, where they lived this year.
Some students said they partici-pated in the lottery as a back-up plan,
even though they had to pay upfront to draw a number.
Junior environmental science major Jennifer Fulton drew 288, but she said she’s looking for off-campus housing next semester. She drew a number just in case that doesn’t pan out, she said.
“I’m just kind of going in with friends,” she said. “I got the lowest number out of them, and I guess we’ll try to live in Asbury or Martha Ran-dolph again.”
All students who drew a number and intend to live on campus next year must attend their time slot during Sun-day’s housing sign up, said Tamara Robinson, coordinator of housing op-erations.
“If they don’t, they’re assigned housing after the transfer students.”
But, students can still sign up for housing, she said, with the understand-ing that they will be assigned housing last.
Students who cannot attend Sun-day’s sign-up need to send their lottery number, their ID and a letter indicating that someone else can sign up on their behalf with a friend. Students wishing to room together should show up to the sign-up together, Lemke said.

News BriefsStudent groups to raise money for Japan earthquake and tsunami relief
Nearly a dozen representatives from UVa-Wise student organizations plan to raise money for the belea-guered victims of Japan’s devastating earthquakes and tsunami.
Members of every campus soror-ity and fraternity, as well as the Resi-dence Hall Association, the National Residence Hall Honorary and the Art Guild, met Wednesday to plan for the campus-wide fundraiser.
The effort is set to begin Monday and last through April 15, said Chase
Elswick, a senior psychology major and the organizer of the group effort.
Representatives will staff tables around campus in the coming weeks, Elswick said, but they’ve not yet worked out a schedule.
In the meantime, students, faculty and staff can bring donations to Josh Justice on the third floor of the Slemp Student Center.
Money raised will go to the Amer-ican Red Cross, Elswick said.
Post office goes paper-free
Students no longer need to bring
paper copies of package receipts to pick up mail in the college post office.
Customers can now check their e-mail at a computer on the main desk at the post office. Employees will scan the bar code directly from the comput-er monitor.
“We’re glad we finally got this worked out so students can have an alternative to printing out the paper,” said David Amos, assistant manager of mail services.
Amos cautioned that during peak times, students may experience faster service by bringing a paper receipt anyway.
Student board applications due today
Nominations for students to serve on the UVa-Wise College Board are due by 5 p.m. today. One student serves on the board each year in a non-voting capacity, though their input may shape discussions. The current student mem-ber is senior business administration major Sarah Smith.
Nomination forms are available at uvawise.edu/studentlife/leadership/events, and are due to Stephanie Shell in the Office of Student Life on the third floor of the Slemp Student Cen-ter.

Comedian Mark Viera is set to perform his routine on campus Wednesday at 9 p.m. in Cantrell Hall.
Viera, 37, started his career as a comedian 10 years ago in New York City.
He was working at a job that he hated and really wanted a career that “would save him from the mental anguish” he was experiencing with his cur-rent job, he said.
“People around me always said ‘you should be doing com-
edy,’ and I heard what they were saying,” Viera said.
Finally, a friend who had been pushing him to become a comedian handed him a book-let from a class titled, “How to Write Funny.” Viera made his career change right at that mo-ment, he said.
Viera said his biggest in-spiration is his family, who he watched television with grow-ing up. They would watch shows including “The Carol Burnett Show,” “Saturday Night Live,” “All in the Family,” “Three’s Company” and “Mork & Min-dy.”
“Growing up, it was OK to
laugh in my house,” Viera said. “It was never frowned upon, even if it was at someone else’s expense.”
He said his favorite come-dians include Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Ray Romano, Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Bill Cosby and Robin Williams.
Viera has opened concerts for singer Marc Anthony and is part of the “Top Dogs of Com-edy” tour along with three other comedians.
The event is free and spon-sored by SAB.

New stairs being installed on halls

New stairs are being installed on both Thompson and Asbury halls this month.
The old stairs were rotting out, said Chad Nodine, the college’s director of facilities. He said the salt put on them winter after win-ter finally took its toll and the stairs were rusting.
The new steps will be made of heavy gauge aluminum, he said, which will not corrode. Each stair
step will be an individual piece.“If we ever have this problem
again, we can unbolt the step tread” and replace it, he said.
The project, which is being completed by Small Time Welding in Wise, will cost $16,000, Nodine said.
The crew is tackling one set of stairs at a time, but working si-multaneously on both buildings, he said.
Nodine said the whole project, which includes both sets of stairs on each building, will be completed by April 8.
Crews work Monday to cut off old stairs at Asbury Hall. The stairs, which had corroded due to salt and wear, will be replaced by alu-minum steps by early April.

Dear Em & Kay,My roommate has been a
complete b - - - h lately. She’s selfish, she uses my stuff all of the time, she never cleans up after her or her friends, and she complains about the smallest things. She wants to room together next year but I don’t think I can handle much more of this. Do you two fight a lot as roommates?
- Looking For New Roomie
Looking For New Roomie,While we have our mo-
ments of “awkward fights,” they never last long. We find that spending too much time together sometimes makes the other one feel suffocated, so we spend time together and apart.
Try getting involved in different organizations and things around campus so you two aren’t always on top of each other. Spending time apart from her will relieve ten-sion because you’ll develop other friendships.
If you still don’t want to live with her, make sure you tell her soon so she can try and find another roommate before you have to pick for next year. If she wants to try to work it out, give her the chance. Good luck!
Love,
Em & Kay

Dear Em & Kay,One of my friends just
got a new boyfriend…again. Even though she goes through more than I can keep up with, one thing al-ways stays the same — she leaves me out to dry when he’s around. I’d like to think she values our friendship more than that, but I’m not sure anymore. How can I not be stuck cleaning up her mess when he leaves?
- Not A Broom
Not A Broom,We’re really sorry that
your friend does that to you every time she gets a new boyfriend. Try pulling her aside and telling her that you’re concerned with her always needing a boyfriend.
She might just be feeling lonely and going out for a girls night could be the cure for it. If she is just one of those people who always needs someone like that in their life, we think you should still suggest the girls night out without the boyfriend.
Try having a “friend date” once a week so you two can catch up and talk about life. We have mini friend dates all of the time and always end up laughing. They work — we promise. Good luck!
Love,

Digging into police records in Ger-many. Examining 15th century docu-ments in the London National Archives. Teaching Appalachian children that their grammar isn’t wrong, but there’s a “home language” and a “school language.”
Three UVa-Wise faculty will discuss their recent or ongoing research during a panel lecture, set for March 30. Tom Goyens, assistant professor of history, Donald Leech, assistant professor of his-tory, and Amy Clark, assistant professor of English and the director of the Appa-lachian Writing Project, will each present their research during the panel lecture.
“The hope is that students will get a sense of different research methods, and that students will kind of see a differ-ent side of their professors,” said Chris Scalia, assistant professor of English and chair of the lecture committee, which is co-hosting the panel with the Faculty Research Support Group. “I don’t think the faculty are even quite aware of the research their colleagues do.”
Clark is co-editing a book on region-al dialects and also conducted research
with middle school, high school and col-lege students to see if teaching standard English alongside regionally spoken English. She found that teaching both side-by-side dramatically increased test scores, she said.
“You learn so much about grammar this way,” she said. “And you can give a historical background, which is such an important step.”
Goyens went to Germany in the summer of 2009 and searched for infor-mation about Johann Most, an anarchist who moved to America from Germany in 1882.
He said he plans to talk about what he found in Germany, such as old police records suggesting that Most had secret agents tailing him.
“He was basically kicked out of Ger-many,” he said. “He became the source for the caricature of the anarchist.”
Leech also studied history, but a much more ancient history. He studied 15th century land law, pouring through old documents in the London National Archives and looking at ancient papers documenting land usage concerns.
The lecture will be held in the Cha-pel of All Faiths at 1 p.m., and count for cultural credit.

Five things you didn't know:
Charlie Sheen

Sheen’s real name is Carlos Irwin Estevez, but he is, of course, better known by the stage name Charlie Sheen. Because going by Carlos Irwin would just be crazy, right?
After being fired from the CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” Sheen announced a nationwide stage tour called “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not An Option.” The tour sold out in a record 18 minutes, proving Americans will waste their money on just about anything.
Sheen wrote and produced a direct-to-video docu-mentary in 1997 called “Is There Life on Mars?” In hindsight this makes sense, given his now-infamous remark made during a recent interview on NBC: “I’m tired of pretending like I’m not b - - - - ing a total rock star from Mars.”
His brother, Emilio Estevez, hasn’t criticized Sheen’s antics, but neither has he really come out in support of them. Not exactly a “Ducks fly together” sentiment, evidently.
Media reports suggest Sheen will earn upwards of $8 million this year thanks to endorsements and his up-coming tour. Maybe he’s right about “winning.”

With the loss, the Cavs’ ace has fallen to 5-9 on the season, despite a 2.0 ERA.
In the second game, freshman pitchers Kaylla Holdway and Chelsey Booth both pitched well for the Cavs, but the offense couldn’t muster enough runs when the game was on the line.
The Cavs took a 1-0 lead in the second inning, as freshman catcher Charity Lawson scored Wash-burn on an RBI single.
Rio Grande added a run of their own in the third inning, tying the game at 1-1.
Rio Grande took the lead in the fifth inning, with back-to-back RBI hits, but the Cavs couldn’t mount a late comeback, falling 3-1.
The Cavs dropped both games of their double header against Lindsey Wilson College on March 22, falling 6-1 in the first game and 7-0 in the sec-ond.
In the first game, Lindsey Wilson took advan-tage of two Cavs’ errors to score five unanswered runs during the third and fourth innings.
The Cavs responded with an RBI by senior centerfielder Maddi Ridenour that scored Lawson.
The Cavs couldn’t manage to score anymore runs, while the Blue Raiders added an insurance run in the seventh, making the final score 6-1.
McCoy took the loss, despite surrendering only two earned runs in the game.
In the second game, the Cavs’ offensive strug-gles continued, as the team managed to record just two hits against Raiders senior pitcher Morgan Pas-chall.
The combination of Holdway and Booth was unable to contain the Lindsey Wilson’s bats, as the Blue Raiders cruised to a 7-0 victory.
Ridenour and sophomore designated hitter Ashleigh Roenker were the only Cavs to have a hit in both games.
Roenker blamed the Cavs’ losses on team con-fidence.
“Our confidence level got down early in those losses,” she said. “We just need to stay focused the entire game so we can play to our maximum po-tential.”
The losses put the Cavs record on the season at 9-16 overall and 2-4 in the conference.

Recently I had a book review for a class and decided that I could download the book to my PC us-ing Amazon’s Kindle service since it would not only save me time but also cost about half the price as a physical copy.
I had no idea how many prob-lems I was about to encounter by this decision.
The first problem was the sim-ple fact that Kindle does not include page numbers for their books, in-stead relying on a system known as “location,” which divides the book into pieces and percentages.
While not a problem for a casual reader, trying to cite selections from the book becomes impossible.
This is in addition to not being able to follow along with the teacher or a friend who each have the physi-cal copy.
The other problem was one completely unex-pected.
I decided to write the paper using the digital book and borrow my friend’s hardcopy to cite it.
The paragraphs were not located in the same places within each resource.
Also, the Kindle included sentences that were not in the print copy.
The problem comes from the fact that the font used and the size of the screen may be completely different from the physical book.
Luckily I had a professor who was understand-ing, but to say this was horrifying might be an un-derstatement.
Amazon has announced that they will begin
implanting page numbers to Kindle after numerous complaints. This implantation will begin with 10,000 books, including the top 100 sellers.
Despite this, many books will still be left with-out page numbers, at least for the time being.
The strong trend toward digital books is easily spotted, and it is not hard to imagine that in the near future hardcopy books may be as popular as the tele-graph.
Yet this is a problem that will almost undoubt-edly have to be answered before digital books will gain wide acceptance in academia.
Perhaps the solution will be a new citation sys-tem or maybe e-readers will just have to implement page numbers, only time will tell.
Until this question is answered students should remain cautious of digital books.

On March 11, everything that could have gone wrong, in fact did go wrong.
The confirmed death toll after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan has risen to nearly 10,000 peo-ple, with more than double that figure missing.
Entire towns were wiped off the face of the map as a result of the 23-foot tsunami waves.
The effects of the quake were felt throughout the Pacific, including the United States, and the event has generated support from across the globe.
Millions of dollars have already been raised. Search and rescue teams volunteered to go overseas to help the people trapped in the rubble.
Countless individuals are currently risking their lives to stabilize a nuclear power plant that was dam-aged in the quake.
The radiation from the power plant has forced people to stop drinking the water.
While the dust settles, we must maintain our awareness of the situation and not forget the long road to recovery facing the Japanese.
Like the disaster in Japan, a major earthquake struck Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010.
As many as 300,000 people died and millions of others were left homeless.
Haitians are still struggling from the devastation, as they are still struggling to find permanent shelter and a consistent source of food and water.
After 9/11, the Red Cross had so many people donate blood, most of it went to waste.
Months later, there was another shortage, this
time with no immediate rush to answer the call.Too many times, we respond to the calls for help,
but stop just short of finishing the job.Don’t forget the Haitians, the Japanese, the peo-
ple suffering in Africa and other parts of the world. These individuals are experiencing real prob-
lems that we can help them with.These people need our help economically, phys-
ically and emotionally.
We must set an example for the rest of the world and do everything within our power to help these people in need.
If the rest of the world cannot depend on us now, when can they?
It shouldn’t matter how far or how inconvenient it is to us. Our humanity is what binds us together.
Whether it is volunteering, giving money or do-nating blood, you can help save a life today.
We must continue to help those in need

Games of the WeekBy Cameron ParsonsSports [email protected]
The Sweet Sixteen resumes tonight, and there are so many match-ups to watch.
The biggest surprise of the season has been the advance of two Richmond area teams — Virginia Commonwealth University and Richmond University.
VCU was able to take down the third -seeded Purdue Boilermakers 94-76, while Richmond took out No. 13 seed Morehouse State on March 20.
VCU, an 11th seed, and Richmond, a 12th seed, will both play tonight.
VCU will play Florida State at 9:57 p.m., while Richmond will face top-seeded Kansas at 7:27 p.m.
Richmond has been on a nine-game winning streak, not losing a game since Feb. 17 to Temple.
The Spiders are led by senior guard Kevin Anderson and senior forward Justin Harper. The two have scored a combined 1,168 points during the season.
Richmond has a great team, but they are facing a very young and talented Semi-nole team, which could prove to be a deadly combination.
Florida State has also advanced by way of an upset victory, the Seminoles dominated Notre Dame 71-57.
The perennial favorite, Ohio State, ended George Mason’s bid to play this year’s Cinderella, crushing them 98-68 on March 20.
The Buckeyes are led freshman forward Jared Sullinger, the top freshman player in the country.
Sulllinger dominates opponents and has been unstoppable all season.
The Buckeyes will play Kentucky at 9:45 p.m. The Wildcats are led by their own fresh-man phenom.
Freshman forward Terrenance Jones averages just shy of a double-double a game, and has dominated opponents like Sullinger.
This game should feature a great match-up between the country’s two best fresh-men.
In the final game tonight, North Carolina will face Marquette at 7:15 p.m.
Marquette upset Syracuse 66-62 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, while North Carolina barely hung on against Washington on March 20.

Baseball drops five in a rowBy Adam HoodStaff [email protected]
After climbing to the top of the Mid-South Conference standings last week, the Cavs struggled against Georgetown and Montreat over the last six games.
In the three doubleheaders on March 17, 18 and 19, the Cavs only managed to win one game.
The Georgetown College pitching staff proved to be the difference in the four-game series last weekend against the UVa-Wise baseball team.
The Cavs’ pitchers were the only strong point against the Tigers, who defeated the Cavs in three-out-of-four games.
The Cavs gave up only a combined five earned runs in the series, but only managed to get two runners across home plate the entire weekend.
Assistant coach Eric Lemely said the team struggled against the George-town pitchers.
“We were unable to get anything going offensively all weekend,” he said. “You have to give their pitchers credit, they threw the ball extremely well.”
On March 17, the Cavs lost the first part of the doubleheader 2-1 in a pitch-ing duel.
Junior pitcher Ryan Crosby threw six and two-thirds innings without giv-ing up an earned run, but couldn’t get much help from his offense.
The Cavs hitters were held to just four hits and one run in the first game.
Sophomore third baseman Taylor Jones drove in the Cavs’ only run in the second inning.
In Friday’s second game, the Cavs came away with a 1-0 victory.
Pitcher Josh Joseph dominated the Georgetown hitters by throwing a com-plete game shutout.
Joseph only gave up two hits and two walks in seven innings of work without allowing a run.
The game’s only run was scored in
the top of the fifth inning when Jones ad-vanced to second on a single from senior centerfielder Brad Ricker.
Joseph said his performance on the mound against Georgetown was a result of good preparation and a solid team ef-fort.
“I really felt good going into the game,” he said. “I was able to put the
ball where I wanted to, and the guys made plays behind me.”
In the first game of the doubleheader on March 18, the Cavs encountered many of the same troubles scoring runs
that had plagued them in the past. Georgetown took a late lead in the
sixth inning by scoring two unearned runs against junior pitcher Scott Cole.
Cole threw five and two-thirds in-nings, giving up the two unearned runs and walking one batter.
In the weekend’s final game, noth-ing really changed for the Cavs. George-town put the game out of reach early on by scoring three runs in the first two in-nings.
The Cavs tried to mount a comeback in the second inning when sophomore first baseman Brian King and freshman designated hitter Mason Mays both lined singles and freshman centerfielder Ryan Walker drew a walk.
The rally came to an end when soph-omore shortstop Chaz Hall grounded out to third ending the inning.
In their doubleheader against Mon-treat College on March 23, the Cavs lost the two games by a combined two runs, falling 11-10 in the first game and 8-7 in the second.
In the first game, the Cavs gave up six runs in the first inning. The Cavs bat-tled back and during the top of the fifth inning, tied Montreat 9-9.
The Cavs managed to take their first lead of the game in the seventh inning, only to watch Montreat to score two runs

to win the game.In the second game, Montreat again
jumped out to a early lead, and led the Cavs 7-0 at the end of the third inning.
The Cavs’ comeback began in the fourth inning, with the team scoring two runs.
The deciding factor in the game came in the bottom of the fourth, as Montreat added a single insurance run which proved to be the game winning run.
A breakout five-run inning in the fifth brought the Cavs within a single run of tying the game, but they couldn’t muster a run for the remainder of the game, falling 8-7.
Lemely said the team is still in good shape in conference play and are ready to get back on the field.
“This series is behind us now,” Lemely said. “We are ready to move and get ready for the next opponent.”
The team will travel to Pikeville College for a four-game series tomorrow and Sunday.

Softball team drops close gamesBy Cameron ParsonsSports [email protected]
The Cavs have dropped four games in a row, two to the University of Rio Grande and two against Lindsey Wilson College.
The Cavs dropped both games of their road doublehead-er against the University of Rio Grande on March 19. The Cavs fell in a 3-2 come-from-behind loss in the first game and 3-1 in the second.
The team is outscored 72-26 through the first three in-nings, but outscores opponents 60-42 during the rest of their games.
However, the team has been unable to win games with-out scoring more than four runs. In fact, the team has only won one of their 16 games in which they score less than four runs.
In the first game against Rio Grande, the Cavs took a 1-0 lead with a homerun by junior third baseman Ashlee Washburn at the top of the second inning. The homerun was Washburn’s second of the young season.
Washburn’s homerun was the only Cavs’ hit of the game.
In extra innings, the Cavs were able to add another run, increasing their lead to 2-1, but three runners were strand-ed on base, which proved to be the deciding factor in the game.
In the bottom of the eighth, Rio Grande tied the game with an unearned run and then took the lead and the game with another one.
Senior pitcher Megan McCoy pitched a brilliant com-plete game, but couldn’t get offensive help late in the game.
Lindsey Wilson senior first baseman Kaylee Garrett slides into homeplate and Cavs’ freshman catcher Charity Lawson as the umpire signals Garrett safe during the Cavs 6-1 loss on March 23. The Cavs will face Pikeville College today at 5 p.m. in a confer-ence doubleheader.
It has been four years since Major League Baseball’s homerun king stepped onto the dia-mond, but now he is making headlines stepping into a federal court.
Barry Bonds is facing four counts of making false statements to a grand jury and one count of obstruction of justice during his 2007 indictment for steroid use.
Bonds claims innocence, saying that his trainer and childhood friend Greg Anderson told him it was flaxseed oil and arthritic cream.
This all stems from the infamous Bay Area Laboratory CO-Operative case in 2002. That organization helped high profile professional athletes illegally take performance enhancing drugs.
NFL player Bill Romanowski, Olympic ath-lete Marion Jones, MLB player Jason Giambi and a host of other athletes were all found to have been involved with BALCO.
Bonds holds MLB’s records for most career MVP awards, career walks, career homeruns and homeruns in a single season. He was also a 12-time Silver Slugger Award winner, an All-Star in 14 seasons and a Gold Glove Award winner eight times.
During his 22-year career, Bonds never test-ed positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Since the BALCO investigation and the subsequent scandal that rocked the sports world, Bond, Giambi, Mark McGuire and others that were accused of using the drugs have become scapegoats.
This trial is a continuance of the line of thought that the players are responsible.
The MLB didn’t have a strict drug testing system in place for a specific reason: It was never there so that players could take drugs to make them better athletes and make baseball a more popular sport.
The rise of the NFL during the 1990s drove baseball to a place where it was losing its status as America’s Pastime.
Football was taking over, and something had to happen.
The home run race, driven by “enhanced” players, allowed MLB to keep up with the chang-ing times.
Now that the government has cracked down, they blame the players.
The players were given the freedom to do whatever they wanted, and they chose something that would help their careers.
This situation could have been prevented if the league had taken steps to prevent it.
Instead of letting your wallet do the thinking for you, try to use a little integrity.
Doing the right thing doesn’t always get us what we want, but at least we can feel a little bet-ter about ourselves if we do.

The men’s and women’s tennis teams have played two matches and are preparing them-selves for the challenges in the new Mid-South Conference.
The men’s team is 0-2 so far this season, after losing 4-2 against Randolph College on Feb. 26 and 6-1 against Milligan College on March 19.
Head coach Danny Rowland said more practice will turn their season around and calm the young team’s nerves.
“It’s hard to get a lot of court time this time of year, but I feel like the more we play the bet-ter we will get,” Rowland said.
Standout freshman Chase Cupp has re-mained individually undefeated.
Cupp defeated Randolph’s two seed with a score of 6-1 and 6-2, while picking up a victory against Milligan’s two-seed 6-1 and 6-1.
Cupp said he remains undefeated because he played “right at the right times,” but he said that college competition is an adjustment from high school.
“It’s [college competition] definitely a step up,” Cupp said. “When you transition into col-lege you know every match is going to test you 100 percent, that isn’t always true about high school.”
The women’s tennis team started the season 1-1, after dominating Randolph College 4-2 to open the season on Feb. 26. In that match, the Cavs’ only losses came after two three-set over-time matches.
However, the Cavs fell 6-1 against Milli-gan College on March 19.
The women’s team has three freshmen, two sophomores and two juniors on their roster, making experience a key problem.
Sophomore Rachel Juhan said that age is an obstacle that the team has to overcome. She said returning players, like herself, need to be leaders and encourage the new players.
“We need to take practice more seriously and be more aggressive at the net,” Juhan said. “We also need to work on doubles because we have some freshmen playing with upperclass-
Tennis teams wrap up non-conference schedule
men, so we need to work on communication and practice harder.”
Rowland said leadership is important on both the men’s and women’s teams.
“I’m looking for leaders on both teams, age is both a good and a bad thing,” Rowland said. “The bad is no experience, but the good thing is they’re eager to learn and to play.”
The men’s and women’s tennis teams will play their first conference match tomorrow at 12 p.m. against the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky.
