June and Lonnie Atwell of Cyclone, West Virginia, were faced with a diffi-cult decision when they discovered their nephew, Alex, had been born ad-dicted to heroin, OxyCon-tin and barbiturates. They couldn’t decide whether to adopt Alex or leave him as a ward of the state.

His parents were ad-dicts themselves, and ac-cording to his doctors, the drugs were to blame for Alex’s severe autism and deafness.

The drug epidemic in West Virginia is not just harming adults and teen-agers addicted to opioids and barbiturates; it is also afflicting the next genera-tion: Babies who are born addicted.

Babies born with neo-natal abstinence syn-drome can suffer from seizures, tremors, fever, diarrhea and have diffi-culty feeding. Sometimes there is permanent brain damage, as in Alex’s case.

Beginning in fall of 2016, West Virginia University will be the first to host an undergraduate degree pro-gram in music therapy in the state of West Virginia.

Music therapy is the sys-tematic use of music to ad-dress non-music goals. Music therapists are highly trained musicians who work in various settings, such as palliative care, with premature infants or to help people with autism better their communica-tion skills.

overdoses per 100,000 people in the state. That rate has increased to about 34 drug overdoses per 100,000, according to a report from the Trust for America’s Health program.

“The drug(s) most often abused in West Virginia are opioids such as her-oin and OxyContin,” said Laura Lander, head social worker for the Behavioral Medicine department at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown. But she has also seen babies with traces of cocaine, nico-tine and caffeine in their systems.

While babies diagnosed at birth with the syndrome can be treated success-fully, many are then dis-charged into homes torn apart by drugs, where there is a high likeli-hood of neglect and abuse.

“Ultimately, it puts the baby at risk of abuse and neglect,” said Rhonda Ed-munds, a founder of Lily’s Place, an alternative cen-ter in Huntington specif-ically designed to treat infants born with the syndrome.

Edmunds and other

caregivers say there are not enough treatment fa-cilities in the state to care for these babies or their addicted mothers. Cabell Huntington Hospital and Ruby Memorial Hospital together have less than 80 beds available in their neonatal intensive care units. The only alternative care center of its kind in West Virginia, Lily’s Place, can only shelter up to 15 drug-dependent infants at a time.

“I think the facilities feel forced to send (these babies) home because there’s not enough room for all of them,” Edmunds said.

The mission of Lily’s Place is to help addicted babies withdraw from the drugs in their system and to assist mothers recover from addictions as well. Lily’s Place would like to open a long-term female rehabilitation program al-lowing addicted moth-ers to begin the program while pregnant so they would be further along on the road to recov-ery when their babies are born.

“A study done at Vander-bilt said 80 percent of kids who go into an environ-ment with active drug users will be drug us-ers themselves by mid-dle school age,” Edmunds said. “We’ve got to get help for their families. Re-hab is a wonderful thing, but there aren’t enough spaces.”

June and Lonnie Atwell adopted Alex in May 2012 when he was 3 years old. June told a local TV station she just fell in love with the little boy.

disorder at Trump rallies: as american as cherry pie?ap

This Oct. 24, 1968, file photo shows balloons going up in Madison Square Garden, in New York City, as a crowd gathers to hear third party candidate George C. Wallace. Wallace’s speech drew more than 15,000 spectators, among them an unknown number of demonstrators who heckled him while others were guarded by a huge show of police force outside the arena.

Even before the presi-dential candidate arrived at the rally, the arena seethed. Fistfights broke out as the national anthem played. Supporters tore up demon-strators’ signs, beat them with sticks, pummeled them with folding chairs.

The year was 1968; the candidate was Alabama Gov. George Wallace.

If you’re struggling with feelings of deja vu, you’re not alone. The recent dark turn of the 2016 presidential campaign - the ugly scuf-fles and confrontations at Donald Trump’s rallies - has brought back memories of the turmoil of the 1960s, and fueled fears that America is careering into a similarly an-gry and violent era.

Will it happen? There’s no way of knowing. Some note this is a different time: When Wallace climbed the stage of Detroit’s Cobo arena, on Oct. 29, 1968, col-lege campuses were explod-ing, American cities were in rubble, and Wallace’s incen-diary words were just some

of many, many angry words of that era.

As contentious as our times may seem, they’re not that bad - yet. But protesters, drawn by Trump’s positions against immigrants and Mus-lims, have been ejected from his rallies; one North Caro-lina man was charged with assault after he was caught on video hitting a man be-ing led out by deputies at the event in Fayetteville. Trump says he does not encourage violence; the fault, he says, lies with the demonstrators.

In fact, if you take the long view, what’s happening is not all that unusual. Poli-tics and violence have been mated since the republic’s earliest days. It was black power activist H. Rap Brown - now serving a life sen-tence in the 2000 murder of a sheriff’s deputy - who said “violence is as American as cherry pie.” Other, more rep-utable observers agree.

The colonies’ victory over the British, believes Glenn W. LaFantasie, professor of civil war history at West-

ern Kentucky University, taught Americans “that vi-olence can be justified so long as it can be done for a good cause.” And in the de-cades that followed, they of-ten used violence in support of - or opposition to - vari-ous causes:

- When Irish and Ger-man Catholics arrived in the 1840s, the Know Nothing party arose to oppose them, rioting in Louisville (more than 20 killed, many more injured) and turning a series of elections in Baltimore into a series of bloodbaths.

- In the run-up to the Civil War, Kansas had its own war between pro-slave and abolitionist forces. In that same year, 1856, abolitionist Sen. Charles Sumner gave a speech in which he de-manded Kansas’ admission as a free state, and ridiculed Sen. Andrew Butler for his ef-forts against it; two days later, Butler’s cousin Rep. Preston Brooks accosted Sumner in the Senate chamber and nearly caned him to death.

- For four days in July of

1863, in the midst of the Civil War, there was fighting in New York City - working-class men, angry because the rich could buy their way out of fighting for the Union, ri-oted. They turned their wrath on their black neighbors, and thousands of them fled.

There followed lynchings and other attacks on blacks and race riots in the North and South that left untold numbers of blacks dead. A series of anarchist bombings spread fear after World War I. Mobs preyed on purported communists - most promi-nently, at two concerts by singer Paul Robeson at Peek-skill, N.Y., in 1949.

“This is a dark streak that runs through American his-tory,” said sociologist Todd Gitlin, who was president of the Students for a Demo-cratic Society in 1963-64 and an organizer of the demon-stration that brought thou-sands of protesters to Wash-ington in 1965.

By experience and by scholarship, he is an ex-pert on that decade, and the

many ways in which violence became its hallmark, from the “police riot” that was the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago to the attacks on the Freedom Rid-ers who bused to the South to fight for civil rights.

“The mobs were there to fight against the invading Yankees, the legions of com-munism and John F. Ken-nedy; their way of life was at stake,” Gitlin said.

Wallace gave voice to those same people. “When he’s on ‘Meet the Press,’ they can look to George and think, ‘That’s what I would say if I were up there,’” his wife, Lurleen, once said.

Michael A. Cohen, author of the forthcoming book “American Maelstrom: The 1968 Election and the Pol-itics of Division,” said that aside from Detroit - where the violence was so great that Wallace cut his speech short after a few moments - the candidate held simi-larly contentious rallies in Minneapolis, San Diego and elsewhere.

His speech at New York’s Madison Square Garden drew more than 15,000 spec-tators, among them an un-known number of demon-strators who heckled him while others were guarded by a huge show of police force outside the arena.

Like Trump, Wallace was openly disdainful of his pro-testers. Cohen believes Wal-lace courted mayhem, think-ing it helped his cause. He taunted hecklers from the stage:

“After Nov. 5, you anar-chists are through in this country. I can tell you that,” he said. And, regarding a long-haired heckler: “If he’ll go to the barbershop, I think they can cure him.”

“There is menace in the blood shout of the crowds,” wrote the New Republic col-umnist Richard Strout, who covered the event. “You feel you have known this some-where; never again will you read about Berlin in the ‘30s without remembering this wild confrontation here of two irrational forces.”

Assessing pilots’ mental healthThis month marks the

one-year anniversary of the Germanwings plane crash that took the lives of all 150 passengers and crew mem-bers on board. Co-pilot An-dreas Lubitz, who had suf-fered from depression for several years, locked the captain out of the cockpit on a routine flight from Bar-celona to Dusseldorf and set the plane on a collision course with the French Alps below.

Investigators recently announced Lubitz was re-ferred to a psychiatric clinic two weeks prior to the crash by a doctor but did not take himself off duty in order to follow the recommen-dation. The health pro-fessional who treated him was not allowed to advise higher-ups of Lubitz’s men-tal state and force him to take time off due to German confidentiality laws.

At first, news coverage of the event only furthered the public’s negative opin-ion of mental illness. Men-

tally ill people have been accused of being more prone to violent behaviors in the past, though these al-legations have been proven false in a number of studies. Luckily, this new informa-tion has diverted attention away from mental illness itself and to the laws and practices surrounding what

doctors should or shouldn’t reveal to airport officials.

Individuals suffering from depression pose abso-lutely no threat to society, but the disorder is known to impair judgment and al-ter a person’s perception of the world. Simply put, a depressed person should not be given total auton-

omy over the decision to continue working in a job where hundreds of lives depend upon qualities like quick thinking and judg-ment, which their disorder can dramatically affect.

This should be especially true if the person is tak-ing behavior- or mood-al-tering medication. Lubitz’s

remains tested positive for traces of the antidepres-sant citalopram (other-wise known as Celexa) and the sleeping aid zopiclone. At the very least, all air-port personnel around the world should stay updated on what medications a pilot takes and create flight regu-lations surrounding taking

medications with unpre-dictable side effects.

France’s Bureau of In-vestigation and Analyses has also shed light on an-other issue that may have led to Lubitz’s failure to take time off: Pilots are at risk of losing their jobs if they re-port having a mental illness. This takes away any incen-tive for pilots to take time off from their stressful line of work to seek treatment, which could lead to more fatal mistakes or decisions while flying.

Current mental health professionals only break patient confidentiality if a patient is in immediate danger of hurting them-selves or others. However, revising these laws to in-clude taking greater pre-cautions for those in pro-fessions where others’ lives depend on their mental sa-lience could prevent trage-dies like this from happen-ing again.

The crime scene investi-gation program at West Vir-ginia University continues to grow exponentially. As more incoming students enter into this program to become crime scene in-vestigators, it’s easy to see precisely what in pop cul-ture may have influenced this career choice.

“C.S.I.” is a popular long-running television series that bore multiple suc-cessful spinoffs. The sheer saturation of these types of crime programs on televi-sion makes them a viable reason for the high num-ber of people choosing this specific career path.

While this may be good news for anyone working in the field, this phenom-enon could cause students to disproportionately flock to professions portrayed well in the media. It’s obvi-ously a good thing to have

more people in important fields such as C.S.I., but why have an oversatura-tion of police work on tele-vision when other fields could be represented just as well?

Police work is undoubt-edly dangerous in any con-text, and it’s that danger which makes these kinds of professions so popu-

lar on television. Televi-sion isn’t exactly known for its realism, but its in-fluence is indisputable. However, it wouldn’t be difficult to also integrate lesser-known professions into primetime television.

While the rise in C.S.I.s may be in part thanks to shows like “C.S.I.” and “N.C.I.S.,” where the char-

acters’ job is closely tied to the plot of each episode, it’s just as likely that an in-dividual may want to be-come a chemistry teacher after watching “Break-ing Bad.” After all, Wal-ter White’s occupation as a teacher has minimal im-pact on his later criminal exploits within the show, but a fan with an interest

in chemistry may be sub-tly inclined to work toward a similar career.

Giving characters more obscure jobs would not only give young people ideas about their future and widen the options for upcoming members of the workforce, but it would make television programs more interesting as well. Think about your favorite television characters and what they do for a living. How many are washed-up toymakers, jaded factory workers, incompetent fry cooks, bored paper-push-ers, zany scientists or griz-zled police officers?

These tropes, along with many more, exist to tell bigger stories more easily, but they shouldn’t be followed to the letter. Most people give very lit-tle thought as to what their favorite characters do out-side of the stories they star in, so presenting viewers with new and interesting careers wouldn’t be a risk in any sense of the word. In fact, one could argue it’s

better for business.It’s nearly impossible to

tell what popular culture will latch onto next, but if there’s one thing to be learned from the success of offbeat movies and shows in the past few years, it’s that audiences want va-riety. Media representa-tions of different cultures and ethnicities are gener-ally well-received, so why not throw in a bigger vari-ety of jobs and careers as well?

Variety may be the spice of life, but it can season fiction just as well. We’ve seen plenty about C.S.I.s and office workers, so give this nation’s youth more portrayals of clinical lab-oratory scientists, census workers, farmers or even those who teach Eng-lish as a foreign language. Hopefully with this kind of representation, these relatively unknown oc-cupations will get some of the attention they deserve.

After years of bad pub-licity, SeaWorld may finally make an important busi-ness change. Last Novem-ber, SeaWorld announced it would end its theatrical shows with orcas at its San Diego location. By 2017, these shows will no longer function at all locations and will be replaced with an ed-ucational program about the captive orcas instead. However, SeaWorld exec-utives continue to ignore the fact that these large marine mammals require much more room to swim than what can be provided in their current cement en-closures, and this won’t be remedied by simply ending shows.

SeaWorld gained a nega-tive public image shortly af-ter the release of the 2013 documentary “Blackfish,” which focused on the mis-treatment of orcas inside its San Diego location. It dis-cussed how the mistreat-ment of Tilikum, a male orca, led to the death of two trainers. The film used in-terviews with former train-ers and behind-the-scenes footage of the whales in the park with the trainers to il-lustrate the poor conditions the orcas lived in.

Before SeaWorld, orcas already had a negative im-age due to their ruthless hunting behaviors, hence their nickname “killer whales.” Most of what peo-ple knew about the species

came from wildlife tele-vision specials, which are known to make wild ani-mals appear much scarier than they truly are.

SeaWorld brought these animals up close for humans for the first time to view and study while also providing entertainment to crowds. However, one would think that the people responsible for these animals would un-derstand the tanks they are kept in are not nearly large enough to accommodate their size and should have realized the whales would eventually react to their cramped environment in a violent fashion.

Orcas are large marine mammals. Males can reach

26 feet in length while fe-males can reach 23 feet, and their weight can reach up to 12,000 pounds. However, the largest tank at the Sea-World in San Diego is just 36 feet deep, 180 feet long and 90 feet wide. That size is clearly not large enough for a 26- foot whale, espe-cially since they are used to swimming more than 100 miles in a day. They also fa-vor colder climates, so the warm California weather is not nearly cool enough for their liking. The officials at SeaWorld claim that the information provided in “Blackfish” is false, but not providing proper living con-ditions for these animals is undeniable abuse.

The backlash against Sea-World continues, even after the announcement of a $100 billion expansion of the orca pools. However, an animal of this size cannot possi-bly be given enough room to live in while in captivity. As such, I predict SeaWorld will continue to receive neg-ative press and have a dam-aged reputation until the healthy whales are released back into the wild and there are no more orcas living in captivity.

Several institutions and government officials are pushing for an end to keep-ing orcas in SeaWorld. The California Coastal Commis-sion approved the pool ex-pansion at the San Diego lo-

cation under one condition: SeaWorld has to make sure its whales don’t breed. The restriction was intended to not subject more of these animals to living out their lives in captivity. However, surprisingly enough, animal rights activists are against the legislation and claim all animals have the right to re-produce during their life.

SeaWorld continues to push back on these poli-cies, but if it truly wants to change the way its company is viewed, then it needs to remove the whales from its enclosures permanently. It claims to want to change to a more educational en-vironment where onlook-ers can view the whales in

a more natural setting, but there is simply nothing nat-ural about a whale living in a small cement enclosure. Or-cas are entirely too large to be kept in “bathtubs” with several other whales.

Simply put, orcas live lon-ger in the wild, and there is nothing “wild” about Sea-World’s environment. As much as I appreciate that SeaWorld is finally address-ing the problem surround-ing its whales after three years of criticism, it doesn’t change the fact that whales cannot possibly be given a better sanctuary to live in than the oceans in which they are born.

‘Love’ is a win for romantic-comedy fans on Netflixby corey eLLiott

A&E writEr @dAilyAthEnAEum

If you’re into romantic comedies, “Love” will prob-ably settle your binge-watch craving.

“Love” is brought to you by Judd Apatow, who wrote “40 Year Old Virgin,” “Pine-apple Express,” “Knocked Up” and other movies, short films and television shows. Sitting at No. 1 on the power rankings of best TV shows that ended after one sea-son is “Freaks and Geeks,” which Apatow wrote. Nat-urally, there are similari-ties between “Love” and the short-lived “Freaks and Geeks.”

This Netflix Original Se-ries was released on Feb. 19. All of season one’s 10 episodes were included in the release, which is good and bad- good because you don’t have to wait a week for each new episode but bad because of the pace at which most people watch readily available TV shows. It took me maybe three days to watch the entire season, no exaggeration. Another obvious pro to “Love” being on Netflix is the commer-cial-free aspect. Each epi-sode is 40 minutes or fewer, making it a cakewalk to get through in a hurry.

The show takes place in LA and stars Gillian Jacobs and Paul Rust. Jacobs plays

New Jersey native Mickey Dobbs, a difficult, confused, outspoken, bad habit-rid-den radio program manager. Rust plays Gus Cruikshank, a Midwest-born, nerdy, shy, overly-nice teacher for a TV show. Both are in their early 30s, which comes as a sur-prise because the two look

like they’re in their mid-20s. Shortly after Mickey and

Gus break things off with their partners, they find each other in an unlikely scenario. One morning fol-lowing a rough night for both, Gus offers to pay for Mickey’s hangover reme-dies and they embark on a

friendly adventure for the day.

They form a friendship and neither are too sure what they want or expect from one another. Mickey finds herself liking Gus, yet finds him too nice and not edgy enough for her life-style. She even sets Gus up

with her Australian room-mate which goes poorly but sparks Mickey and Gus’ relationship.

After a few rocky dates and hangout sessions, Gus isn’t sure Mickey is right for him as her interests don’t particularly coincide with his. They both struggle find-

ing themselves through-out the first season. After a breakup between Gus and Mickey, season one’s finale brings them back together, a perfect segue into the sec-ond season.

It’s a plot of two com-pletely different people with completely different interests who somehow find chemistry. “Love” com-bines drama, comedy and romance for a show that re-lates real-life problems and experiences.

Season one includes a guest appearance from the once more-relevant Andy Dick. Dick is known for his odd features and for-mer MTV show titled, “The Assistant.”

“Love” has the script of your typical romantic com-edy movie, however it’s in the form of a show. I find it intriguing because it starts out with the ordinary theme of “nice guys finish last” before doing a complete 180.

Arguably the worst part of binge watching Netflix shows is the dreaded wait for the next season. Usu-ally, I’ll end up having to rewatch the show before season two because of the lengthy gap. There isn’t yet a premiere date for “Love’s” second season, but season two is currently filming and is expected in 2017.

WVU Lab Theatre debuts ‘Venus in Fur,’ two-person play pushes boundariesby woody poNd

A&E writEr @dAilyAthEnAuEm

Theater has always been a platform for social reform and personal expression. Playwrights tell biographical stories and write about the social themes or injus-tices that either affect or influence their daily lives. But when does that expression become too much? In David Ives interest-ing 2010 Tony Award-winning play “Ve-nus in Fur,” a playwright meets his match in a woman who has a lot to say about his play and about his ideas of society, the-atre and people. WVU’s Lab Theatre is presenting this play, its third production of the semester, at the end of this week.

“Venus in Fur” is a two-person play that takes place at the tail end of a cast-ing call for an adaptation of the 1870 Austrian novel of the same name writ-ten by the main character, Thomas Nova-check. The play is presented in an audi-tion format, in which the playwright and

the mysterious girl Vanda, who shows up as he is preparing to go home, read from the play and explore what it really means.

The play within the play examines a vi-olent, sexual relationship between a mas-ochist and the beautiful woman from up-stairs who treats him like her slave. The woman in the novel has the same name as the girl auditioning, which is the first layer of mystery surrounding Vanda, and her opinion on the character and the script itself differs greatly from Nova-check’s. She finds some of the dialogue to be very sexist, while Thomas argues that the play is about two people with burning passion for each other. “Venus in Fur” weaves in and out of an actor and a playwright talking about the play and ac-tually reading scenes from it. They read more and more of the play, as it slowly becomes the primary way they commu-nicate their ideas and how they define their relationship.

The two actors who have collaborated

to create this piece did so without a full-time director. First year MFA acting stu-dent Joe Gay and senior BFA acting stu-dent Ashley Koon play the two roles in Ives’s play, and their collaboration dur-ing the rehearsal process is what brought the play together. They broke down the text, asked each other questions and played with different interpretations of the scenes in order to bring together this play with all of the complicated layers that Ives wrote into his script.

“We did a lot of table work, pulling the beats apart and naming them to fig-ure out what they mean,” Gay said. “We spent a lot of time finding what’s real in what we are saying and where the lines are blurred, and where the characters in the book reflect what our characters are saying.”

Theatre history professor Dr. Jay Ma-larcher advised the project along the way. He came to several rehearsals and helped give feedback and direction to the two performers as they went on their journey.

Malarcher really took to the text because of how much there was to be analyzed and how many layers could be found and explored.

“Everything we went to the text for, an-swers it gave us. The deeper you dig, the more you find in a play like this it’s like Shakespeare,” Malarcher said.

There are so many themes and ideas crammed into this script; it’s almost dif-ficult to keep track of them all. Power, sex, S&M, gender bias and the current state of playwriting and the theatrical environ-ment are all very prevalent from Thomas’ opening phone conversation to the final plot twist.

“Venus in Fur” has a preview showing at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow, and will officially debut Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. Guests can also catch two Friday showings at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. in the Vivian Davis Mi-chael Theatre. Admission is free but seat-ing is limited.

@dAilyAthEnAEum

Saint Patrick’s Day is almost here, so we decided to give you two recipes in honor of one of West Virginia University’s favor-ite days of celebration.

Corned beef and cabbage is a tradi-tional dish often served on the popular Irish holiday. You can resort to using a slow cooker, but boiling the meal on the stove seems to be a favored method.

Ingredients:• 1 uncooked (about 5 pounds)

corned beef brisket (1 half pound per person)

• 2 large onions• 2 heads of cabbage• 10 full-sized peeled carrots• 15 small, white potatoes• Desired seasonings

Directions:Rinse the beef brisket in cold water and

dry and place in a large pot. Fill with wa-ter until beef brisket is covered with six inches of the water.

Place pot on stove and set to a high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, let the meat cook for 30 minutes covered. Lower the heat to medium/high, and al-low the beef to cook for another 3.5 hours. Add desired seasonings such as garlic or bay leaves.

Slice onions and cabbage into equal sized chunks. Cut carrots and potatoes into small pieces as well.

Once meat is cooked, add the vegeta-bles to the pot. Return the lid onto the pot, and allow the ingredients to cook for an-

other 15-30 minutes.When the vegetables are done cook-

ing (potatoes will be tender), remove the vegetables from the pot. Let the brisket sit in the pot for an additional 15 minutes. Keeping the corned beef submerged in the water will allow it to retain moisture. Once you are ready to begin eating, slice up the meat, add the vegetables, serve and enjoy.

The next recipe is not only a St. Patty’s breakfast favorite, but a Dr. Seuss phe-nomenon. Green eggs and ham, popular-ized by the famous children’s book, is the perfect shamrock-colored meal to serve the morning before a big day of drinking.

Ingredients:• 6 eggs• 1 tablespoon of milk• 2 tablespoons of onion (chopped)• 1 cup of kale and/or spinach leaves• Salt and pepper• Butter for frying• Ham (any kind)

Directions:Combine first five ingredients in

blender and blend until green.Heat butter in a frying pan over stove.

Once melted, pour green egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit for a couple minutes be-fore you begin to stir and scramble with a spatula. Cook until eggs are done all the way through.

Place the eggs on top of deli ham, or add ham to the egg mixture to cook de-pending on preference.

Serve with toast and enjoy.

Game Developers Conference to showcase VR SAN FRANCISCO (AP) —

With the release of a pair of high-definition head-sets on the horizon, virtual reality will soon be, well, a reality for consumers cu-rious about the immersive medium.

Before the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive debut in a few weeks, VR is back in the spotlight at this week’s Game Developers Confer-ence, the 30th annual gath-ering of the video game - and now VR - industry that kicks off Monday at the Moscone Center.

For the first time, GDC will play host to the Virtual Reality Developers Con-ference, a spin-off summit dedicated to VR creators learning more about their 360-degree craft. VRDC will feature talks with such titles as “Enabling Hands in VR” and “This is Your Brain on VR: A Look at The Psychol-ogy of Doing VR Right.”

“It’s another example of how VR is legitimate now,” said Adam Orth, cre-ator of “Adr1ft,” a first-per-son VR experience set to launch alongside the Rift that transports players in-side a stranded astronaut’s space suit.

Orth is among the VR creators influenced by tra-ditional games, films and apps who will in atten-dance at VRDC, confront-ing issues facing the emerg-ing medium.

“It’s still so new, and there are still so many challenges to overcome,” said Orth. “For instance, if someone is doing some-thing simple as using a shovel in VR, how would that look and feel? It wouldn’t look and feel like it does in a typical game. I’m looking forward to that, the challenge of creating

normal things in abnormal scenarios.”

Orth isn’t alone. A survey of last year’s GDC attend-ees found development of VR projects more than dou-bled, with 16 percent of at-tendees currently creating VR content - up from the 7 percent who said they were working on VR in last year’s poll.

Regardless of the grow-ing interest in VR, many in the gaming industry - and beyond - remain appre-hensive, despite the fact those clunky, nausea-in-ducing VR headsets of the 1990s have morphed into the sleeker, lower-latency goggles of today.

While 75 percent of de-velopers surveyed believe VR and augmented reality is a sustainable business, 27 percent don’t see adoption of VR systems matching the current population of game consoles like the PlaySta-tion 4 and Xbox One.

“It’s not like everyone is 100 percent on board,” said Simon Carless, execu-tive vice president at UBM Tech Game Network, which organizes GDC and VRDC. “I think people are very in-terested and excited about it, but we’ve yet to see the mass adoption it will clearly need to take off.”

The first consumer ver-sion of the Rift, available March 28, is being sold for $600. The Vive, which comes with a pair of sen-sors that detect motion in a room, will be released April 5 for $800. They both require high-end PCs in or-der to work.

The steep price and computing requirements haven’t swayed early adopters away from VR. Oculus and HTC both said initial orders for the Rift and Vive systems sold out within minutes. A con-sumer edition of the lower-powered Samsung Gear

VR, a mobile Oculus head-set that works with Sam-sung smartphones, sold out when it was first released last year.

Sony will be next to test the commercial viabil-ity of VR. The company is hosting an event Tuesday during GDC where it’s ex-pected to announce the price and release date of PlayStation VR, a headset formerly known as Project Morpheus that works in tandem with the PlaySta-tion 4 console, instead of a super-charged PC.

“The commercial release of Oculus, Vive and Play-Station VR is really just the beginning, if this takes off,” said Carless. “It’s the kind of thing you have to try to be really excited about it. Most people haven’t had the opportunity to do that, even though we’ve been talking about VR for years now. It’s going to be a grad-ual process.”

forbes.comWith virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift releasing soon, game developers are thinking about how to best uti-lize this revolutionary new hardware.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Big-picture issues and futuristic ideas - rather than the usual hot app or startup launch - have taken the spotlight at this year’s South by Southwest Interactive tech jamboree.

President Barack Obama’s open-ing keynote on Friday referenced the current fight between Ap-ple and the FBI and set an issue-driven tone for the conference. And a daylong online harassment sum-mit put the spotlight on the trou-bling topic of online harassment . Meanwhile, panels focused on fu-turistic ideas such as robots for the elderly and supersonic public transportation.

So far, though, there’s no sign of breakout apps like Twitter in 2007 or Foursquare in 2009. (Or livestreaming app Meerkat last year, which was quickly eclipsed by Twitter’s Periscope.)

“This year’s festival has been more about connectivity, im-mersive experiences and exter-nal, larger issues rather than past years, which were more about new launches,” said SXSW veteran Tom Edwards, chief digital officer for Dallas-based marketing firm Epsilon.

More than 30,000 attendees

flooded the streets of downtown Austin over the weekend, soaking up live music and marketing stunts including a life-size Ferris wheel provided by the USA Network show “Mr. Robot.”

Here’s a look at the buzziest trends so far at the festival’s tech-focused conference, which runs through Tuesday.

---BIG ISSUESIt’s an election year, and

hotly debated issues dominated discussions.

Obama, the first U.S. president to headline a SXSW event, said he was strongly committed to encryption but said authorities must be able to access data held on electronic devices to fight crime and extrem-ist violence. He didn’t specifically comment on the FBI’s case against Apple, however. A federal court has ordered Apple to help the FBI break into a phone used by one of the San Bernardino killers. Apple has ap-pealed the ruling and says the gov-ernment plan puts the privacy of all users at risk.

Panels on online harassment discussed trolling and abuse in on-line comments and social media, mainly of women. One panel gave

statistics and examples of the ha-rassment women of color and fe-male journalists face to illustrate the scope of the problem on social media.

Another panel, initially canceled due to threats of violence against panelists and the festival, discussed how game-related design, such as algorithms or pre-set filters, could be used to discourage harassment. Due to the previous threats, the daylong online harassment sum-mit took place under tight security, but there were no disturbances.

The festival had its own mini-dis-crimination controversy. Organiz-ers apologized to a panelist after she tweeted that she was told she had to remove her headscarf for a festival ID badge. She was eventu-ally allowed to take a photo with her headscarf - then received a badge with the right picture but the wrong name and affiliation, as her tweets documented and the festi-val confirmed.

---FUTURISTIC IDEASRodney Brooks, creator of

Roomba and CEO of Rethink Ro-bots, argued that robots aren’t as dangerous as people think they are. At one point, he reached into his

pocket and pulled out a coin - then noted that no robot is currently ca-pable of doing the same.

Still, the robotics pioneer thinks robots will be essential for elder care, helping with daily tasks, act-ing as companions and driving people around. In similar respects such as manufacturing, he argued, robots won’t displace jobs, they’ll do the work no one wants to do.

Dirk Ahlborn, CEO of Hyper-loop, a company aiming to cre-ate a transportation system using capsules traveling through tubes at the speed of sound, took the stage to enthusiastic whoops from the crowd. He said the Hyperloop, which he claims will condense a five-hour trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco to 36 minutes for less than the cost of a plane ticket, is well on the way to becoming reality.

While he acknowledged critics who say the project could cost $100 billion to build - far more than Hy-perloop’s own estimates - he said his company is trying to disrupt the transportation industry.

---TECH AND MUSICAs always, tech and music inter-

mingled during the festival. When the indie-rock band Great Caesar

played at a popular local bar, it was no ordinary SXSW show. Its spon-sor, Doppler, was testing ear buds designed to augment live music. Via an app, ear bud wearers could adjust the bass they could hear, for example, or create an echo effect. They could also choose pre-mixed filters that mimic the sound effects of different places, such as a small studio or Carnegie Hall.

“I like having some kind of con-trol over what I’m listening to,” said Marshall Heinz, a law student in Austin who tried out the device. “I make music, so to interact with people who are way better musi-cians than me is pretty cool.”

---SONY’S ‘N’ CONCEPTSony had one of the buzziest

product demos of the festival, pre-viewing a prototype device called the “N’’ concept neckband. It’s a speaker that rests on the neck, plays music, takes pictures and responds to voice commands such as queries about the weather. Response to the device, unveiled Saturday, has been enthusiastic, said research and de-velopment deputy president Jun Maruo, who said there’s no time-line for when Sony might release the neck band or what it might cost.

Issues, not apps, are the focus at South by Southwest entertainment expo

NEW YORK (AP) — Here’s a question you’ve likely never asked yourself: Can covert surveillance be beautiful?

But you might be ask-ing it as you stroll through “Astro Noise,” journalist and filmmaker Laura Poi-tras’ exhibit at the Whit-ney Museum of American Art, in which images stem-ming from mass govern-ment surveillance are, in a number of cases, physically striking.

Take, for example, the patterns of bright greens, blues and oranges adorn-ing the wall as one enters the exhibit. Seen from afar, they appear to be color-ful modern paintings one might see in any contem-porary museum. But actu-ally, Poitras is presenting data - hacked Israeli drone feeds from a listening base in Cyprus. The original im-ages were contained in documents leaked by for-mer NSA contractor Ed-ward Snowden.

“Definitely the piece is trying to work on multiple levels,” says Poitras, best known for “Citizenfour,” her Oscar-winning docu-mentary about Snowden, and her news reports on the same subject, which won a Pulitzer Prize.

“We found these fasci-nating colorful images that I was immediately com-pelled by. And they also have this fascinating story, so they work as news. We’re looking at intercepts from hacked Israeli drone feeds. But it’s not cynical. I like them as images, too.”

Though Poitras is best known as a filmmaker and

journalist, she says her first solo museum show has given her a chance to ex-plore the issues important to her in a medium even more suited to her way of thinking.

“I felt almost MORE at home,” she said in a re-cent interview. “The cre-ative process was really liberating. It’s more ab-stract, which is what I like. It opened up new possibili-ties, and liberated me from things I’m happy to be lib-erated from.”

Though covert surveil-lance might not, at first glance, seem like a sub-ject for exploration at an art museum, the Whitney’s director, Adam Weinberg, begs to differ.

“Artists reflect their times, and we are living in very complicated times,” Weinberg says. “It would be very strange if people were only dealing with questions of beauty and emotion at a time when the world is in such a state.”

For Weinberg, one of the most valuable aspects of the exhibit, which opened last month and runs through May 1, is that “it’s an experiential installation. It’s not just about infor-mation. One of the things that’s happened in this day and age is just the absolute avalanche of information, which we could never ever hope to sift through, and in most cases we can’t even understand half of. (But) we still have to make eth-ical and moral judgments about notions of surveil-lance and privacy, and this ... puts the viewer at the center of those questions.”

Looking for your fi rst professional job after college takes time and com-mitment, so it is important to start this process early. Once you identify your general career aspirations and understand the knowledge, skills and abilities required in your fi eld, you are on track to start your job search. The follow-ing outlined steps will help you develop effective job search strategies and increase your chances of successfully landing your fi rst professional job.

12 Steps of the Job Search Process1. Get in the right mindset. It’s best to begin searching for a job at least six

to nine months prior to graduation and plan on setting aside three hours a week for the process. Finding a job can be diffi cult, but it’s worth it in the end.

2. Develop your resumes and cover letters and have them reviewed by a career counselor. Resume examples can be viewed on our website at careerservices.wvu.edu/students/build-a-resume.

3. Upload your documents to MountaineerTRAK and begin searching applicable job postings.

4. Make social media work for you, not against you. Potential employers like to connect with candidates via social media, so be selective in what you tweet.

5. Utilize other online resources, such as CareerShift (access code: wvsenior) and LinkedIn. Don’t overlook individual company career pages.

6. Leverage your network. Talk to classmates, alumni, professors, family, and friends to learn about potential job opportunities.

7. Join professional associations. Visit “What Can I Do with This Major?” at whatcanidowiththismajor.com/major/, select your major(s) of interest and scroll to the bottom for a listing to fi nd groups in your industry.

8. Stay organized! Track the jobs you’ve applied to and adhere to deadlines and dates, as well as follow-up details.

9. Schedule a mock interview with a career counselor to practice and polish your interview skills. Schedule an appointment with a career counselor by calling 304-293-2221 or emailing [email protected].

10. Participate in University career fairs and other professional development events. Career Services provides several opportunities for you to meet with potential employers by hosting multiple University- wide career fairs and industry-specifi c events.

11. Follow up with employers after every interview. Sending a thank you note or email will stand out and impress most potential employers.

12. Do your homework to decide if you will accept an offer or not and be prepared to negotiate if necessary. Learn more about evaluating job offers at careerservices.wvu.edu/students/evaluating-job-offers.

With determination and an effective job search process, your fi rst profes-sional job can assist in transitioning the knowledge, skills and abilities you’ve established as a student into the workplace and prepare you for bigger and better opportunities in the future.

For more about job search strategies, visit Career Services in the Mountain-lair Monday-Friday 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. or visit our website at careerser-vices.wvu.edu.

Former Yale captain says he’ll sue school over recent expulsionHARTFORD, Conn. (AP) —

Former Yale basketball cap-tain Jack Montague was ex-pelled over a sexual assault allegation and plans to sue the school, his attorney said Monday.

Attorney Max Stern is-sued a statement saying Montague had a relation-ship with the woman. He said the dispute is about the last of four sexual encoun-ters, occurring in October 2014.

The lawyer said the woman claims she didn’t consent to the sex but Mon-tague said she did and also asserts she later came back to his room to spend the night.

Stern said a Title IX of-ficial filed a complaint on the woman’s behalf on Nov. 18, a university panel ruled against him and the provost upheld that ruling. Mon-tague was expelled on Feb. 10.

Stern said Montague par-ticipated in the hearing process.

Stern called the decision “arbitrary and excessive by any rational measure” and believes Montague was made a “whipping boy” fol-lowing a report on sexual as-sault by the Association of American Universities.

That report detailed a sur-vey of Yale students and esti-mated 25.2 percent of under-graduates had experienced at least one incident that “does not meet Yale’s stan-dard for consent” and 18.1 percent had experienced an

incident that involved “force or incapacitation.”

“Yale has been oblivious to the catastrophic and ir-reparable damage resulting from these allegations and determinations,” Stern said. “The expulsion not only de-prives Jack of the degree which he was only three months short of earning, but has simultaneously de-stroyed both his educational and basketball careers.”

Yale declined to com-ment on Montague’s case, but said its process for in-vestigation allegations of sexual assault is thorough and fair.

In 2012, Yale settled re-solved a federal complaint over its responses to sexual assaults on campus and set up a system to better handle complaints.

That system, in which complaints are resolved by a university committee, in-cludes strict confidentiality requirements.

Expulsion at Yale requires a threshold of “preponder-ance of the evidence” for establishing wrongdoing, lower than any criminal case.

“Only about one out of 10 cases ends in expulsion, and the decision to expel a student is made only af-ter the most careful consid-eration, based on the facts and, when appropriate, dis-ciplinary history,” the school said.

Police and the local pros-ecutor say no criminal al-legation has been filed and

they are not investigating.Stern said he plans to file

a federal lawsuit in Connect-icut within a month.

Montague was named captain and played through Feb. 6 despite the allega-tions against him, averag-ing 9.7 points per game.

The school said it would not remove an athlete from a team based solely on al-legations, “unless a student were placed on an emer-gency suspension and sep-arated from the school.”

The team went 7-1 in his absence, finishing the year

22-6 and winning the Ivy League championship with a 13-1 league record. They will play Baylor on Thurs-day in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the school’s first appearance in the event since 1962.

The team apologized for wearing warm-up T-shirts during a nationally tele-vised Feb. 26 game against Harvard that featured Mon-tague’s number, nickname and the word “Yale” spelled backward.

“Jack’s one of our team-mates, our brothers,” for-

ward Justin Sears said Sun-day. “We’re a team still, no matter what.”

Despite uncertainty and lack of details at the time, some groups on campus condemned the basket-ball team for wearing the T-shirts, putting up post-ers that accused the team of supporting a rapist. They also used the incident to speak out on wider issues of sexual assault at Yale.

Last week, the group Unite Against Sexual Assault Yale invited people to write their feelings in chalk on

tiles in front of Sterling Me-morial Library. Hundreds did, with messages such as, “The only team I’m cheer-ing for are survivors @ Yale - dismantle men’s athletic privilege.”

Organizer Helen Price said the event was not meant to condemn the bas-ketball team or Montague.

“We aimed to give peo-ple an outlet for the frustra-tion and anger they have felt at Yale’s sexual climate for a long time, the basketball in-cident was really just a cata-lyst,” she said.

WVU will have to fight

it out in deep East

RegionWest Virginia finished

second in one of the deepest conferences in recent memory and man-aged to seize its highest NCAA seed in six years. That was the easy part.

The real work be-gins on Friday when the Mountaineers will have descend into a loaded East Region in order to achieve the ultimate goal they set at the beginning of the season: Winning West Virginia’s first-ever national championship.

There’s no easy game in this region, including West Virginia’s first round matchup against Stephen F. Austin, a team that can consider itself a mini ver-sion of the Mountaineers.

Employing a press of their own, the Lumber-jacks are the only team in college basketball that forces more turn-overs than West Virginia does. They’ve gone 53-1 in Southland Conference play over the last three years, guided by an op-ponent WVU head coach Bob Huggins knows well: Longtime friend and former assistant Brad Underwood.

“I’ve known Brad for a long, long time,” Hug-gins said. “I have great respect for him and his ability to coach basket-ball. They’re a good bas-ketball team. They don’t beat themselves.”

West Virginia is heav-ily favored, as they should be, but Stephen F. Austin is far from an easy out. Then the Mountaineers would have to face an old Big East rival, Notre Dame, a team that carved out an 11-7 record in the always-strong ACC.

Lightning-quick point guard Demetrius Jack-son is one of the best players WVU will face all season, and star big man Zach Auguste may be one of the only centers in the country who can match up physically with West Virginia’s Devin Williams–he averaged a double-double this sea-son, leading the ACC in rebounding.

Alternatively, the Mountaineers could take a shot at revenge at for-mer coach John Beilein and Michigan, in what would be the second matchup between West Virginia and Beilein since he left in 2007. There’s also the attraction of a possible Backyard Brawl Sweet 16 matchup with Pitt, but WVU is more likely to face two-seed Xavier or a Wisconsin team revitalized by new head coach Greg Gard.

One of the best teams in a rebuilt Big East Con-ference, Xavier hung around the top 10 for al-most the entire season, ultimately finishing 14-4 in conference play be-hind star guard Trevon Bluiett.

Major threats also lurk on the other side of the East bracket. One-seed North Carolina boasts senior stars Brice John-son and Marcus Paige and is considered a ma-jor national title con-tender. Then there’s four-seed Kentucky, which looks completely differ-ent than the team that de-stroyed WVU by 39 in last year’s Sweet 16 but is still highly dangerous behind star guards Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray.

All these teams are strong, but they all also have one thing in com-mon: None of them have ever faced Press Virginia. West Virginia’s dogged defense and will to win has made it one of the East’s biggest contend-ers as well, and there’s no one in the region they can’t beat.

DAVID STATMANSPORTS EDITOR@DJSTATMAN77 BACK TO THE DANCE

After one-year layoff, No. 23 WVU back in NCAA Tournament

BY DAVID STATMANSPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

The West Virginia Uni-versity football team’s coaching staff had a bomb-shell dropped on it late on the first day of spring practice, as news broke that wide receivers coach Lonnie Galloway is leav-ing West Virginia to be co-offensive coordinator in Louisville.

A six-year veteran of the West Virginia staff, Gallo-way recruited and coached several major Mountain-eer stars at wide receiver, including Kevin White, Mario Alford, Tavon Aus-tin and Stedman Bailey. Galloway leaves behind a young, talented wide receiver unit that looks poised to take the next step, but which will now need to find a new posi-tion coach as spring prac-tice gets underway.

Galloway reportedly re-ceived a multi-year con-tract extension and a raise from West Virginia less than a month ago. How-ever, that didn’t stop Gal-loway from joining Bobby Petrino’s staff at Louis-ville, where he will work alongside line coach Chris Klenakis to direct the Car-dinals’ offense.

After a playing career as a quarterback for Western Carolina and in the Arena Football League, Galloway started his coaching career in 1996, assisting at Elon, East Carolina and Appala-chian State before joining Bill Stewart’s staff as wide receivers coach in 2008.

Galloway left for Wake Forest after Stewart’s fir-ing in 2011 but returned to West Virginia in 2013.

In his stint under Dana Holgorsen, he served as not only one of WVU’s best recruiters but one of its most successful po-sition coaches, helping to turn both Kevin White and Mario Alford into All-Americans.

Wide receiver looks to be one of the strengths of the team again this year, as one of the only units re-turning just about entirely intact from last season. Leading receivers Shel-ton Gibson and Daikiel Shorts both return, as well as the extremely promis-

ing young core of Jovon Durante, Ka’Raun White, Gary Jennings and David Sills.

“We’ll have some strong competition going into the spring season coming up, and they’ve all been work-ing hard,” Galloway said before the start of spring practice. “I expect a lot out of these guys.”

After an 8-5 season and a Cactus Bowl win in 2015, Galloway’s departure is another chapter in an off-season that has featured a fair bit of turnover in Hol-gorsen’s assistant coach-

ing staff.In January, West Vir-

ginia hired longtime vet-eran line coach and former Texas offensive coordina-tor Joe Wickline to run its offense, while safeties and special teams coach Joe DeForest and assis-tant defensive line coach Damon Cogdell were both let go after their contracts expired at the end of the month.

West Virginia managed to lure Arizona safeties coach Matt Caponi to take DeForest’s spot on the de-fensive side shortly after-

ward. Cornerbacks coach Brian Mitchell surprisingly left in February to take the same job at Virginia Tech– last week, the Mountain-eers announced the hiring of former Miami Dolphins assistant Blue Adams to take Mitchell’s place.

West Virginia hoped that hiring Adams would be the last adjustment it would have to make to its coaching staff but will now have to hit the coaching market once again in the midst of spring practice.

WVU receivers coach Lonnie Galloway leaves for Louisville

BY ALEC GEARTYSPORTS WRITER

@DAILYATHENAEUM

After missing the NCAA tournament last season, the West Virginia Uni-versity women’s basket-ball team waited on Selec-tion Monday to see what team will be on the Moun-taineers’ radar next. The Mountaineers earned the sixth seed, and they will face the Princeton Tigers at noon Friday in Colum-bus, Ohio.

“I think it says a lot about these young ladies,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “We have 11 new players, eight of them freshmen. To get a six-seed in the NCAA Tourna-ment, they did a great job this year. I am very proud

of them.”Princeton, who received

the 11th seed, finished sec-ond in the Ivy League with an overall record of 23-5 and 12-2 in conference play. Both teams are a part of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota region led by No. 1 South Carolina.

It marks the sixth time Princeton has made the tournament in program history, fourth under head coach Courtney Banghart. Since being named head coach, Banghart took the team from 7-23 to 26-3 in a matter of two seasons, placing first in the Ivy League five times.

Even with the success and long history of the Ti-gers, WVU has never faced Princeton, which explains how Carey started his press

conference on Selection Monday.

“Before you start, I know nothing about Princeton,” Carey said.

While WVU hasn’t faced Princeton, the Mountain-eers are familiar with the Ivy League style and aren’t overlooking the Tigers.

“Everybody in the NCAA Tournament is a really good team,” said WVU se-nior Arielle Roberson. “Es-pecially [Princeton], being very fundamental it’s going to be key for us to buy in on defense and get stops.”

The trip to Columbus will be Roberson’s second appearance in the tourna-ment; she last made it in 2012-13 as a member of the Colorado Buffaloes. Now, using her last year of eligi-bility, she will get one more

run.“Not everybody gets to

be in the NCAA Tourna-ment, but being with this group of girls really made my time fly by,” Rober-son said. “It’s been really great.”

After making it to the WNIT championship game last season, senior star Bria Holmes is happy to be back in the NCAA Tourna-ment, and she believes the Mountaineers deserve to be where they are.

“It’s a great feeling, mak-ing the tournament this year,” said Bria Holmes. “We came a long way, I just want to keep pushing.”

If WVU were to advance to the second round, the Mountaineers would have a chance to play the Ohio State Buckeyes in their city.

“I’ve seen Ohio State play a couple of times and they are very, very good. I’m surprised they aren’t a higher seed,” Carey said. “They have one of the best guards in the country, so we’ll have our hands full.”

While Carey acknowl-edged the threat of Ohio State, he also reiterated the team has to worry about Princeton first.

Holmes put the team’s meeting on Friday into perspective in the best way possible, realizing for some of the Mountaineers, it is their last chance.

“Nobody wants to go out with a loss. It’s all or noth-ing,” Holmes said. “It’s my last one, so I’ve got to give it my all.”

WVU carries weekend momentum against struggling RadfordBy Chris JaCksonAssociAte sports editor

@cJAcksonWVU

Redshirt freshman Jimmy Galusky did what he’s done all season, and that’s just what the Mountaineers needed heading into Tues-day’s affair against Radford.

Galusky’s walk-off single in the 12th inning capped off a doubleheader, leading to a series victory over Old Dominion to improve to 9-4. That was exactly what the Mountaineers longed for, still reeling from an extra in-ning defeat earlier in the day.

“That right there to-day shows the character of your team,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “You lose a heartbreaker in the first game in extra innings. We beat a really good team two out of three on our home field. I hate that the fans missed this game because this was a pretty entertain-ing game to watch.”

They took two of three from an Old Dominion team that entered the series at 10-2. The resiliency and depth paid off once again, over-coming a 4-3 deficit and finding a way to send it into extra innings for the second time of the day.

Now it’s onto Radford, which is 2-14 and has lost five straight. No. 2 Vander-

bilt and Kent State com-pleted sweeps during that span, outscoring Radford 46-13 with a pair of shutouts.

Tyler Swarmer likely takes the mound for Rad-ford against WVU’s Camp-bell, who’s 0-1 with a 4.63 ERA after recording his first loss in a 13-4 loss to Vander-bilt last Tuesday. Camp-bell has a 4.15 ERA in 4.1 in-nings pitched, allowing two earned runs during his first start against UNLV earlier this year.

Opponents have out-scored Radford 114-46 this season, holding it to a .202 average. Second baseman Danny Hyrbek is the only hitter who’s surpassed .265, leading the team with a .345 batting average and 19 hits.

Zach York leads the way with five RBIs and three dou-bles, but inconsistency at the plate has led to a .200 batting average, marking the fifth highest average for Radford. Six Mountaineers have ex-ceeded the .300 spot through the first 13 games, including a trio of freshmen.

Left fielder Kyle Gray is hitting .364 with a triple in 10 starts, tagging alongside right fielder Darius Hill’s .333 average and team-high totals in RBIs (10) and tri-ples (2). Galusky’s walk-off showcased another big-time play from the redshirt fresh-

man, leading to an offensive group that continually claws its way back into games.

All-American Kyle Davis has three home runs and nine RBI’s alongside a .321 average, tallying the Big 12’s third-highest long ball total thus far. KC Huth also has nine RBIs and four extra-base hits, helping an offense that holds the conference’s second-highest batting aver-

age behind No. 8 TCU (.299).An experienced bullpen

adds to WVU’s advantage this afternoon, providing quality depth that showed during Saturday’s double-header. Jeff Hardy’s 3.2 in-nings of relief for BJ Myers helped the Mountaineers comeback after trailing 4-3, striking out six Radford hit-ters to cap the series.

Conner Dotson also re-

lieved an ailing Chad Do-nato in the series opening 4-3 victory over Old Domin-ion, not allowing a baserun-ner in 1.2 innings. Brandon Boone’s 4.1 shutout innings kept WVU alive during game two before falling 5-4 in 10 innings.

“I think that’s going to play dividends in the end. It’s really going to show when we get late into the

tournaments and wherever this season takes us,” Davis said. “Being in these types of games, knowing how to fight and knowing that we always have a chance to win and just keeping that resil-iency is going to be huge once we come to those great teams that take us deep into the game.”

In a season marked by inconsistency, the one thing that the West Virginia University women’s tennis team has been able to hang its hat on is the continued success of Habiba Shaker.

The sophomore from Egypt has played her way to a 10-1 singles record so far this spring, including going 10-0 at the No. 2 singles po-sition. She has also teamed up with senior Hailey Bar-rett for an 8-3 record at the

No. 1 doubles position.“We put in a lot of work

during the preseason with working on our weak-nesses, and most impor-tantly, our fitness and con-ditioning on the court. I think that really helped me,” Shaker said.

As a freshman, Shaker showed flashes of what was to come from her during her career as a WVU ten-nis player. In her freshman season, Shaker compiled a 24-10 overall record during the 2015 season.

“I wasn’t here last sea-son to see her play, but

from what I have gathered from working with her, it’s been mostly a lot of mental toughness improvement, understanding where she needs to improve in that department and helping her along the way,” said WVU assistant coach Em-ily Harman. “A lot of this is between the ears, and you have to focus as much en-ergy there as we do on the physical side on the court. So she’s been very com-mitted and very dedicated, and I’ve been very proud of her in terms of making those changes.”

Despite Shaker’s suc-cess, the Mountaineers haven’t yet been able to make their mark in the Big 12 Conference, finish-ing last season with an 0-9 mark in league play. But this season, even with just a 6-5 record in nonconfer-ence play, there’s a lot to be optimistic about for the fu-ture with this young team.

“I feel that we worked hard throughout the non-conference matches, and we should keep that fo-cus going into the Big 12,” Shaker said. “We have to give it our best and leave it

all on the court. I believe in my teammates, and I know we’ll do better this year.”

In addition to her suc-cess on the court, Shaker has excelled in the class-room as well. The sport psychology student has been named to the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll, the WVU Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll, qualifying for the WVU Dean’s List for the Fall 2015 semester.

“It’s been a delight to work with her on the court and see the improvements and see, match to match,

how she’s improved,” Har-man said. “I wouldn’t say her tennis has been as good as I’ve seen her play but that’s the cool part. She’s still been winning matches even though she hasn’t al-ways played as well as she’s capable of playing.”

Shaker and the rest of the Mountaineers return to the court this weekend for the toughest test they have faced this season, as they start Big 12 Confer-ence play at No. 13 Okla-homa State.
