‘ACCIDENTAL RACIST’
New SGA leaders inauguratedby bryan bumgardner
associate city editor
The Student Government Association of West Virginia University celebrated the inauguration of the 2013-14 administration at the Erick-son Alumni Center Sunday.
SGA president Ryan Campione and SGA vice president Ben Seebaugh gave inaugural addresses at the event – Seebaugh’s in the version of a video from abroad.
Former SGA president Zach Redding and former SGA vice president Jarred Zuccari gave speeches at the event, reflecting on their positions and offering words of advice.
“The people I’ve met (and) the experiences I’ve had have truly changed my life,” Zuccari said. He ex-pressed his support for the incoming administration.
“I have full faith in all of you that you will take stu-dent government to the
next level,” he said.Redding harkened to the
core ideals of student gov-ernment in his address.
“Being in student gov-ernment gives you the abil-ity to help others and make change,” he said. “What else can you ask for?”
In his inaugural address, Campione spoke to the in-coming governors about the challenges ahead.
“We are beginning a long and toilsome journey, and I want to put things in per-
spective,” he said. The governors are serv-
ing a constituency of more than 29,000 students.
“That is literally a larger constituency than every single mayor of a town or city in West Virginia, with the exception of six,” Cam-pione said.
Even so, Campione said he feels all members of SGA should be accessible to the students.

Competitive cheer club wins
national titleby LaCey PaLmerassociate a&e editor
The West Virginia Uni-versity Competit ive Cheerleading Club re-ceived national attention this weekend at the Na-tional Cheerleaders Asso-ciation Collegiate National Championship.
The team won first place competing in Intermediate All-Girl Division I, beat-ing the University of North Carolina at Charlotte by nearly two points and a to-tal of 16 teams during the competition.
“I kind of feel like I’m on top of the world,” said club president and senior Sara Treser. “I feel like anything is possible.”
Since its founding five years ago, the team has al-ready won two national ti-tles – the first in 2010 and now in 2013.
In order to be invited to the competition in Day-tona, Fla., the teams must send a video of their skills to the judges. Once they qualify, the teams compete throughout a span of two days in April.
On the first day, or pre-liminaries, the team com-petes with a cheer and a routine set to music. If se-lected to advance to finals, the team competes with their routine again on the second day. If the deam does not advance, they compete in the Challenge Cup that evening, which WVU’s team had to do this weekend.
“On the first day of com-petition, they called us on a legal issue in our pyramid that kept us out of finals,” said head coach Amanda Hite. “We had to compete against nine other teams in Challenge Cup, where only the winning team moved on to finals.”
The girls knew the Chal-lenge Cup would be their last shot at earning another national title and took the competition by storm.
“The pressure didn’t faze the girls, and they ad-vanced easily to finals,” Hite said.
According to Alexan-dra Russomano, it’s almost unheard of to not advance, then win Challenge Cup and win the entire cham-pionship, but this team was able to.
“We worked hard to get that finals performance, and hitting the routine was just the perfect way to show ourselves and the judges that we belonged there the entire time,” Rus-somano said. “We were so determined when we got here that we actually won twice. That truly describes our team.”
Despite many obsta-cles throughout the sea-son, the girls continued
fighting until they reached the goal they set for them-selves at the beginning of the season.
“I knew at the beginning of the season that these girls could win,” Hite said.
The girls have been put-ting countless hours of practice in during the past few months.
“We’ve been practic-ing the same routine over and over again since before winter break, at least three times per week, and the few weeks prior to leaving for Daytona we would prac-tice nearly every day,” Rus-somano said. “On top of the practice, we also needed to fund-raise to even go on the trip. All the work and stress was definitely worth it, though.”
Treser agreed despite the obstacles, winning a national title was worth it.
“There was a lot of adver-sity, and it wasn’t smooth sailing,” Treser said. “Prior to winning, there were a lot of tears, injuries, emotions and late-night practices followed by early-morn-ing practices. The amount of physical and emotional stress is inexplicable, but I’d take all the bruises and beating over again, though, if it means hearing them call our name as national champions.”
The team also hopes their hard work and suc-cess is noted around the University. As a club, the team feels it doesn’t al-ways receive the attention it deserves.
“I wish it were viewed as a bigger deal,” Treser said. “We are representing the school at such a pres-tigious competition and winning first place, and we always get so many com-pliments about how classy we are, yet the University doesn’t always recognize our efforts.”
Russomano said she hopes the win helps secure a greater respect for club sports.
“I believe the win helps to create an even better name for WVU and shows that we have success not only within school athlet-ics, but also within club sports,” Russomano said. “Also, I hope the respect the students have for club sports grows from this win and helps to make our club known throughout the school.”
Regardless, Treser said she is sure the success of the club will only continue to grow.
“I hope the team contin-ues to win national cham-pionships, makes a name for themselves and be-comes a recognized sport by WVU,” Treser said.

Maniacs to host annual Ryan’s Rallyby Summer ratCLiff
staff writer
The Mountaineer Mani-acs will host their second-annual 5k run/walk to ben-efit former West Virginia University student Ryan Diviney.
Diviney, a resident of Ashburn, Va., was brutally attacked outside the Wil-ley Street Dairy Mart in No-vember 2009 and remains in a coma-like state to this day.
Due to the excessive funds needed to cover Di-viney’s continued medical care, numerous fundraisers are coordinated each year at WVU to raise money for
his family. Chris Northrup, execu-
tive director of the Moun-taineer Maniacs, said the Maniacs hope to see an in-crease in the level of partic-ipation from last year’s 5k.
“Last year we had around 100 runners and raised over $2,500,” Northrup said. “This year we have set a goal of 250 runners and $3,500.
“With that said, we need the help of students to come out and run or walk in this great event.”
The Ryan’s Rally 5k run/walk will be held April 27 at 10:30 a.m. at the Student Recreation Center.
Registration forms can be
picked up on the door of the Maniacs’ office and can be mailed in or dropped off in the Student Organizations Office in the Mountainlair.
Registration is also avail-able online at www.active.com/running/morgan-town-wv/ryans-rally-5k-run-or-walk-2013 .
All participants will re-ceive a free shirt the day of the race and can also re-ceive 1-2 hours of commu-nity service by logging on to iserve.wvu.edu.
Northrup said the Ma-niacs are excited to help a student in need while rais-ing awareness for violence throughout WVU’s campus.
“We are very excited to
once again team with the Ryan’s Rally foundation to put on a 5k to raise money for Ryan Diviney’s contin-ued medical expenses and to raise awareness for vio-lence on campus,” he said.
“It is an amazing cause and a good way to get a little exercise while giving back to a great foundation. This event is a true win-win. In the words of Ryan’s Rally: We got this.”
All funds raised at the race will go directly to Ryan Diviney’s continued fight for life. For more informa-tion on Ryan and his rally, visit www.ryansrally.org.

WVU Slut Walk 2013 draws attention to victim blaming, rape cultureby terri ParLett
copy editor
The sluts have spoken. Friday night, more than 100 women and men – self-
proclaimed “sluts” – gathered to march down High Street in protest of victim blaming.
WVU’s Slut Walk 2013 started in front of the Mountainlair and ended at the courthouse on High Street.
Slut Walk began in Toronto in 2011 as a counter to the advice from a representative of the Toronto Police De-partment, who said “women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” Women were out-raged by the implication that their appearance was to blame for rapes and assaults, so they began rebelling.
Women and men marched down the street, some dressed as sluts, some simply as they were, to counter the example that many, like the police officer in Toronto, expect of them.
Chants of “however we dress, wherever we go, yes means yes and no means no” and “sluts and hos can still say no” filled High Street as passersby watched a scant-ily clad crowd march past.
Typically, these events are very female-dominated. However, this Slut Walk included a strong male demo-graphic. Sam Wilmoth, a social work student, said this is a positive sign for the movement.
“It represents an acknowledgement that is a problem that affects everyone. Whether you know it or not, ev-erybody knows somebody who has been victimized in a

is continually growing.“I see a bright future for
the club,” Russomano said. “My first year, we got sev-enth, my second year, we got second, and this year we won twice. The talent of this club and determination to succeed is unlike any team I have ever been on, and I look forward to my senior year on this squad to see what else we can accomplish.”
Unfortunately, Treser does not get the opportunity
to compete next year since she is graduating.
“It was a lot more emo-tional for me this time since it’s likely my last cheerlead-ing competition ever,” Treser said. “I think I barely cried when we won my freshman year, and this year I cried be-fore the routine, during and after.”
Treser said the bonds with her teammates will be the aspect she misses most.
“I really feel as if these girls became my little sis-ters, and I still feel as if my old teammates are fam-ily,” Treser said. “I’ll just re-
ally miss cheerleading in general.”
Hite said being with the girls is the best part of be-ing involved with the team.
“I definitely coach the best girls year after year,” Hite said. “They are so ded-icated and work so hard. Seeing the looks on their faces when they won made everything worth it.
“I was so relieved their hard work paid off. Every move they made was per-fect. They deserve to be na-tional champions.”

terrible, tragic and unnec-essary way. We all have a connection to this issue,” Wilmoth said. “When men come out and they show that they are thinking about these things, it just says something good about us as a species.”
By wearing provocative clothing and protesting the rape culture perpetuated by these ideals, the women participating in Slut Walk hope to show that women, no matter how they pres-ent themselves, are not inviting sexual assault. Wilmoth said this is an es-pecially large problem on
college campuses. “College campuses
across the country have astronomically high levels of rape and abusive rela-tionships and bullying and all kinds of things that we need to take care of, and events like this are a good way to start,” he said.
At the end of the walk, in front of the courthouse, Ruth Kershner, associate professor of social and be-havioral sciences, told the story of two young girls who had been raped. She said two sisters, age 13 and 16 at the time, were taken into the woods, raped and tossed into a ravine. The younger sister died, but the 16-year-old was able to make her way out of the
ravine.Twenty years later, as a
36-year-old woman, the sister committed suicide in the same ravine where her sister was killed.
Kershner said the police officer who investigated the case said, “She was raped and murdered 20 years ago, and she only died today.”
Kershner said this vi-olence needs to stop. “When I started teach-ing at the University, the chances (of a woman being raped) were one in 10. Now it’s one in six. It’s times like this when we have to stand up and say, ‘we are not going to take this anymore.’”

Venezuelans choose between Chavez heir, new path
ApVenezuela’s interim President Nicolas Maduro greets supporters as he arrives to cast his ballot in the presidential election in Caracas, Venezuela, Sunday.
CaRaCaS, Venezuela (aP) — Voters chose Sunday be-tween the hand-picked suc-cessor who campaigned to carry on Hugo Chavez’s self-styled socialist revolution and an emboldened second-time challenger who warned that the late president’s re-gime has Venezuela on the road to ruin.
Nicolas Maduro, the long-time foreign minister to Chavez, pinned his hopes on the immense loyalty for his boss among millions of poor beneficiaries of government largesse and the powerful state apparatus that Chavez skillfully consolidated.
Maduro’s campaign was mostly a near-religious hom-age to the man he called “the redeemer of the Americas,” who succumbed to cancer March 5. He blamed Vene-zuela’s myriad woes on vague plots by alleged saboteurs
that the government never identified.
Challenger Henrique Capriles’ main campaign weapon was to simply em-phasize “the incompetence of the state,” as he put it to re-porters Saturday night.
Maduro, 50, was favored to win, but his early big lead in opinion polls was cut in half over the past two weeks in a country struggling with the legacy of Chavez’s manage-ment of the world’s largest oil reserves. Millions of Venezu-elans were lifted out of pov-erty under Chavez, but many also believe his government not only squandered, but plundered, much of the $1 trillion in oil revenues dur-ing his tenure.
Venezuelans are afflicted by chronic power outages, crumbling infrastructure, unfinished public works projects, double-digit in-
flation, food and medicine shortages, and rampant crime. Venezuela has one of the world’s highest homicide and kidnapping rates.
“We can’t continue to be-lieve in messiahs,” said Jose Romero, a 48-year-old indus-trial engineer who voted for Capriles in the central city of Valencia. “This country has learned a lot and today we know that one person can’t fix everything.”
In the Chavista strong-hold of Petare outside Ca-racas, the Maduro vote was strong. Maria Velasquez, 48, who works in a government soup kitchen that feeds 200 people, said she was voting for Chavez’s man “because that is what my comandante ordered.”
Reynaldo Ramos, a 60-year-old construction worker, said he “voted for Chavez” before correct-
ing himself and saying he chose Maduro. But he could not seem to get his beloved leader out of his mind.
“We must always vote for Chavez because he always does what’s best for the peo-ple and we’re going to con-tinue on this path,” Ramos said. He said the govern-ment had helped him get work on the subway system and helps pay his grandchil-dren’s school costs.
The governing United So-cialist Party of Venezuela deployed a well-worn get-out-the-vote machine spear-headed by loyal state em-ployees. It also enjoyed the backing of state media as part of its near-monopoly on in-stitutional power.
Capriles’ camp said Chavista loyalists in the ju-diciary put them at glaring disadvantage by slapping the campaign and broadcast
media with fines and pros-ecutions that they called unwarranted.
Capriles is a 40-year-old state governor who lost to Chavez in October’s presi-dential election by a nearly 11-point margin, the best showing ever by a challenger to the longtime president.
“Capriles ran a remark-able campaign that shows he has creativity, tenacity and disposition to play po-litical hardball,” said David Smilde, an analyst with the Washington Office on Latin America think tank.
At his campaign rallies, Capriles would read out a list of unfinished road, bridge and rail projects. Then he asked people what goods were scarce on store shelves.
Capriles showed Maduro none of the respect he ear-lier accorded Chavez. Mad-uro hit back hard, at one
point calling Capriles’ back-ers “heirs of Hitler.” It was an odd accusation considering that Capriles is the grandson of Holocaust survivors from Poland.
The opposition contended Chavez looted the treasury last year to buy his re-election with government handouts. It also complained about the steady flow of cut-rate oil to Cuba, which Capriles said would end if he won.
Venezuela’s $30 billion fis-cal deficit is equal to about 10 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.
Maduro, a former union activist and bus driver with close ties to Cuba’s lead-ers, constantly alleged that Capriles was conspiring with U.S. putschists to destabilize Venezuela and even sug-gested Washington had in-fected Chavez with the can-cer that killed him.
The Glen Oaks Church of Christ and the islamic Cen-ter of Morgantown have partnered to host an in-formational public discus-sion of islam and Christian-ity today and Tuesday.
Both nights will fea-ture speakers Sohail Chaudhry, an imam at the islamic Center of Morgan-town and Andrew rob-erts, a minister at Jackson Heights Church of Christ in Columbia, Tenn.
Tonight from 6-8 p.m.
in the Mountainlair Ball-rooms, the two will discuss the topic of the Bible and the Quran.
Tomorrow from 6-8 p.m. in room G20 of Ming Hsieh Hall, the topic will be the Christian view of Jesus and the islamic view of Jesus.
Both events are free to attend, and a ques-tion-and-answer session will follow each speaker’s presentation.
roberts said the events help to promote under-
standing between the two religions and provide a great opportunity for any-one to learn about both religions.
“it’s an opportunity for people to learn and make an educated decision about their faith,” he said.
“it’s a setting for edu-cation, and students are generally willing to listen to different points of view in a civil way.”

“Never be afraid that you are alone. You can reach out to any (gover-nor); there’s always some-body there to help you,” he said. “And always be will-

After the event, SGA Governor Evan McIntyre paused to reflect on his ex-periences from election to inauguration.
“I feel like there was never really an end,” he said.
“It went from campaign-ing to trying to figure out what needs done and how to do it.
“There’s so many things left to do.”
McIntyre supported Campione’s perspective on SGA’s accessibility.
“We should be out there and available,” he said. “There’s so many things we can do to help the stu-dents that they don’t know about.”

WASHINGTON (AP) – Watch out, Joe Biden. The other vice president is in the house.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who plays Vice President Selina Meyer on the HBO comedy “Veep,” came to the White House on Friday to have lunch with Biden.
While in the West Wing, Louis-Dreyfus took the opportunity to try out the vice president’s desk - the real one, not the replica she uses on the set.
“I surprised him by sit-ting at his desk, so he thought he’d just ask my advice on various briefs he had to deal with,” Louis-Dreyfus said in an audio clip posted to the White House website. “I was happy to give him my ad-vice, which he paid no at-tention to whatsoever.”
“It’s a day I’ll never for-get,” she added.
Her performance as an ambitious but largely pow-erless No. 2 hasn’t gone unnoticed by Biden.
After the former “Sein-feld” star won an Emmy award for her perfor-mance in the first season of “Veep,” Biden called her to offer his congratulations, the vice president’s office said.
And in 2008, when then-Sen. Biden and President Barack Obama were run-ning for office, Biden and Louis-Dreyfus appeared together on NBC’s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” where Biden plunged the actress into the pool of a dunk tank to raise money for breast cancer. The two then shared a soggy smooch through the bars of the dunk tank.
The second season of “Veep” starts Sunday.

Cultures as diverse as Bali, Ghana, Trinidad and Brazil collided Friday night at West Virginia Universi-ty’s World Music Showcase Concert.
The concert included the WVU Balinese Gamelan En-semble, the African Mu-sic and Dance Ensemble and two steel drum bands, and it presented traditional world music, as well as
popular music, on unique instruments.
The show opened with the Balinese Gamelan Ensem-ble. The word “gamelan” re-fers to the entire ensemble, which consists of drums, a series of bells played with a mallet and gongs. The WVU Balinese Gamelan Ensem-ble performed several tradi-tional songs, including one which was accompanied by a viola solo.
After the gamelan, the Af-rican Music and Dance En-
semble performed. This was a high-energy performance of various African drums, accompanied by traditional African dances.
When choreographing the dances, Michael Ver-celli, associate professor of world music, turned to master Dagomba dancer Sulley Imoro. Imoro cho-reographed the traditional Dagomba praise dances the ensemble performed.
The program also in-cluded two steel bands, one
composed of students with no previous experience in the band and one reserved for students who have pre-viously performed in steel band. This half of the per-formance heavily featured compositions and arrange-ments by graduate assistant Rafael Smith.
Smith is an exchange stu-dent from Brazil, and he will be graduating with a mas-ter’s degree in music com-position. For the concert, Smith arranged the popular
“Trololol” song, of YouTube fame, “Fireflies” by Owl City and a medley of Michael Jackson songs. He also ar-ranged a traditional Brazil-ian tune, meshing his own culture with that of the steel drums of Trinidad.
The unique thing about this concert was that many students had never played the instruments in the en-sembles, and some had little to no previous musical ex-perience. This didn’t lessen the concert, though. Every
ensemble performed beau-tifully, and the performance was one of the most ener-getic and fun I’ve seen lately.
In the fall, the world mu-sic classes offered at WVU will include Japanese Taiko drumming alongside the steel bands and African mu-sic and dance ensembles. Vercelli encouraged stu-dents, with or without pre-vious experience, to explore these options.

A bill touted by propo-nents as a necessary eco-nomic development stim-ulus for Morgantown failed to pass in the West Virginia legislature Satur-day night, as the 2013 leg-islative session came to a close.
The ill-fated bill was a victim of legislative horse-trading, as members of the House refused to pass the bill without passage of an
unrelated bill that sought to increase magistrate pay. The clock struck midnight before an agreement could be reached on both pro-posals, so neither passed.
The Morgantown bill would have set aside mil-lions for the creation of a new exit between Westo-ver and Star City and the construction of an eco-nomic development that would include a baseball
stadium. The bill’s sup-porters, including Mor-gantown mayor Jim Ma-nilla, lamented its demise as the latest failure of West Virginia government to ad-dress the economic needs of the state.
Manilla took to Twit-ter to vent his frustration in the immediate after-math of the session. “Sad, sad, sad day for Morgan-town, north central WV,
and the state for not pass-ing TIF. This is why we are ranked last in everything,” he tweeted.
Manilla’s statement is a bit melodramatic, but the incident does underscore the failure of West Virgin-ia’s government to get be-hind much-needed eco-nomic development.
Considering Morgan-town’s stature as an eco-nomic powerhouse for
the state, with the Univer-sity as its driving force, it’s puzzling the state wouldn’t seek to invest in the area.
The bill’s failure also ex-emplifies the worst of reck-less legislating. Why would these bills that would have such far-reaching conse-quences for the state be decided on in such a hap-hazard manner?

“It ain’t like you and me can rewrite history,” sing Brad Paisley and LL Cool J on their new duo single, painfully titled “Accidental Racist.”
It’s obvious in the song neither singer has the agency, tact or intelligence to change the past or future course of human events, but the tune is even more prob-lematic than countless blog posts and tweets spouted in a media reaction to the song have observed.
We are amid the sesqui-centennial of the American Civil War, and countless events and gatherings have taken place to remember the War Between the States during its 150th anniversary. The majority of these me-morials attempt to remem-ber the Civil War in an ac-curate light, which is to say, an achy and perplexing one.
For much of the South, the war of northern aggres-sion is inseparable from southern culture, and thus the war lives on as an intri-cate and beloved part of be-low-the-Mason-Dixon Line heritage. The North, too, has an inevitably tense situation to engage when it sets out to remember the people, events and history of the battles that cost hundreds of thousands of Americans their lives.
In addition to (and ar-guably more problematic than) the goofy wordplay and general ridiculousness of “Accidental Racist,” Pais-ley and LL Cool J make seri-ous and irresponsible mis-calculations by intertwining both generalized and com-icalized takes on race with different tenets of Civil War memory.
At best, “Accidental Rac-ist” is a dangerous oversim-plification of the causes and forces that brought about the Civil War, as well as the way slavery was handled,
and reconstruction was performed in the post-war Union.
Paisley references that his Confederate flag T-shirt as merely representative of his Lynyrd Skynyrd fanship, claiming it “somehow is like the elephant in the corner of the south.”
When LL Cool J responds to “Dear Mr. White Man,” he sings that “I wasn’t there when Sherman’s march turned the South into firewood/I want you to get paid but be a slave. I never could.”
Cool J also sings, “RIP
Robert E. Lee, but I’ve gotta thank Abraham Lincoln for freeing me, know what I mean.”
These song lyrics are in-fused with historical ele-ments, but irresponsibly, and they are not even close to being comprehensive enough to be accurate.
The Confederate flag is much more than a symbol of Southern pride; it’s a lasting relic of a regime that fought to maintain its right to hold slaves. Sherman didn’t merely turn “the South to firewood” – he and his men obliterated and pillaged a
path from Atlanta to Savan-nah. And, as evidenced by the recent film “Lincoln,” America’s 16th President’s relationship with emancipa-tion was anything but easy and clear-cut.
To be fair, it’s a some-what honorable move to try to tackle racism in a song. It’s happened before – but by artists who more gently and judiciously approach the issue, like Public Enemy and Billie Holliday. It’s Pais-ley and LL Cool J’s method-ology of attempting to lec-ture about a vast historical event and draw in multiple
complex issues surround-ing the Civil War to make their argument that’s pre-carious. Sadly, more peo-ple will probably ingest “Ac-cidental Racist” than will read Eric Foner’s “The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery” or Eliza-beth Varon’s “Disunion!”
The brief and simple treatment Paisley and LL Cool J give to the Civil War and slavery gives listeners the idea they’re getting a les-son and receiving a message based on fact.
Because of the vastness of the war and the complex-
ity of slavery, it’s impossible to healthily inform or per-suade of anything invoking what the pair do in the time allotted in a pop song.
Paisley and LL Cool J cer-tainly cannot rewrite his-tory, as they admit in their ditty. They also, because of their ignorance of history and quickness to churn out a quirky novelty country/rap song instead of consid-ering stewardship of history, are writing the present and future in an immature and volatile way. I only wish we could rewrite – or just re-move – their song.

BORN TODAY This year you often express your views and communi-cate intellectually; however, there are times when you swing from be-ing logical to being more emotional and conflicted. Do not let co-work-ers, acquaintances or those you don’t deeply trust see these swings. You will change after this year. If you are single, you’ll meet someone very im-portant to your life and well-being af-ter June. Enjoy it! If you are attached, the two of you need to plan special mini-trips alone as a couple.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Before you attempt to change a pattern, know that your ef-forts might need to be repeated. Plan your activities appropriately. You will be busy communicating with others -- remember to keep it light. Avoid signing any important papers to-day. Tonight: Happily head home for a chat.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Look at your finances. Are they bal-anced? Study alternatives before making a decision. You usually think there is only one right way, but know that there are many different paths. Involve yourself in work that you are passionate about. Tonight: Catch up on news over the phone.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You have strong feelings, and you communicate them to others. Some-times you go overboard in making your points. A male friend could be extremely assertive; let go and see what happens. Get a close friend’s opinion. Tonight: Spend your money
wisely!
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You need some time away from oth-ers. Seclude yourself if possible; oth-erwise, you could find yourself in a difficult situation where your grump-iness will emerge. The power to pre-vent this outcome from happening is in your hands. Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You might want to understand more of what is going on behind some-one’s strong statement. When you hear this person’s message, be sure to ask questions in order to find out where he or she is coming from. Be as clear as possible. Tonight: Take a much-needed break.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH The possibility of an eye-opening ex-perience appears on the horizon. You might want to jump on this oppor-tunity within the next few days. For some of you, a foreigner will enter your life who shares your vision and goals. Tonight: Catch up on a good friend’s news.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH You could be overwhelmed by every-thing that is happening around you. Do not minimize the importance of a loved one. Open up to new possibili-ties through discussions on a one-on-one level with a key person. A partner could be grumpy. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.
SCORPIO (OC T. 23-NOV. 21) HHHHH Your emotional side dom-inates right now. What you want will take time, but it will allow you to do certain things differently. Listen to your inner voice. Try to detach from
knee-jerk responses. You’ll be able to get a better sense of direction as a re-sult. Tonight: Rent a movie.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHHH You have get-up-and-go. Do not minimize your energy or your creativity. You find answers and solu-tions out of the blue. Be more in con-tact with your basic needs, and honor them. You often give up your power. Resist the urge to do so now. Tonight: With a favorite person.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Know what is happening around you. Stop and observe. You understand the position of a very de-tached person, even if you feel trig-gered. Articulate your feelings and intellectual view clearly, and others will respond in kind. Tonight: Return calls before you decide.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH Your ingenuity comes out in a discussion, and others un-derstand your opinions. A loved one might choose to test your limits. Be careful with your temper during the next few days, as you could say something you’ll regret later. Tonight: Don’t overthink a situation.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH A domestic matter dominates right now. You could be feeling off-kilter regarding a problem within your household. Know that you will do whatever it takes to clear up this is-sue, though the cost might be more than you expect. Center yourself and relax. Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

Beats, art on display at 123
In a night of beats, art and graffiti, “That 808 Life” dis-played every angle of local talent at 123 Pleasant Street Thursday night.
Headlined by mash-up producer DJ Monstalung, “That 808 Life” brought a handful of different musical artists together to make one very unique sound.
Ranging from beatboxing to electronic dance music to rap, each artist brought a dif-ferent vibe to a crowd of more than 50.
“(This show is) a showcase of local producers and beat makers,” said Ryan “DNK” Dunkerley. “A couple guys brought their DJ gear down; some just brought mixes that they made together.”
Dunkerley utilized differ-ent live-made loops by beat-boxing and playing bass gui-tar in a similar fashion to his other role as “The Professor”
for his project Cupcake and the Professor. While his style sounded more produced than in his other project, his original flavor was still amus-ing and exciting.
Quote, a local rapper, be-gan the evening by perform-ing some of his produced beats. While they weren’t live-mixed like many of the other performers, the sound was surprisingly crisp and clean.
Eric “DJ Monstalung” Jor-dan added his works to the mix by playing a blend of well-polished vibes and mash-
ups. The music sounded like it could just as easily be per-formed at a concert next to Girl Talk, and coupled with his helpful input on some of the other DJs’ sets, Monsta-lung’s works proved a class above the rest.
Joining the musical aspect were a few local painters who stopped by to display their art, including some pieces from new artist Amelia Ear-hart Pancake.
“I didn’t even know that I could paint,” Pancake said. “I lost my Internet and tele-
vision, and my computer got stolen, and I needed an out-let anyway, and I just kind of started painting one day. Stuff just kind of came to me.”
Pancake’s art consisted of largely feminine pieces and explored different styles from one piece to another. Next to a multi-surfaced piece of a jellyfish stood more ex-otic works, such as a vagi-nal flower that was painted over a picture of Pancake’s ex-boyfriend.
“I found a vagina much more inspiring than his face,”
Pancake said. Mixing the rap and bass-
heavy music with the paint-ings was a large graffiti wall set just inside 123’s doors for anyone to sign. The wall was tagged by almost every patron who entered the bar, as well as by all those performing.
As different as the art-ists themselves, the graffiti wall contained everything from traditional calligraphy to short quotes to elaborate etches.

Ghost B.C. continues to impress with ‘Infestissumam’
Only in the wondrous and magical time that is the year 2013 – with all the modern opportunities it affords and the innumerable choices in everyday life – can a band like Ghost B.C. exist and thrive.
On the Sweden natives’ second album, “Infestis-sumam,” shock rock, a style exemplified by such per-formers as Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson and Gwar, is taken to a new level.
Led by the aptly named lead singer Papa Emeritus II,
who always appears dressed as a skeletal, evil-look-ing pope, “Infestissumam” stands out in the crowded world of modern music.
For the record, the other members of the band are known as “nameless ghouls,” and they perform only in darkened robes. Seriously, Google these guys and try not to want to listen.
They are so much more than their image, though.
Their latest effort has seen the band soar to new heights of popularity, though that rise has not been without controversy.
In fact, while already fresh off of a dispute involving use of the original band name, Ghost, the band actually had
to redesign the album’s cover art, since U.S. manufacturers turned the band down on multiple occasions because the art depicted a medieval orgy.
Weird enough for you to check them out now?
If not, be aware they pos-sess some major chops, as well.
Consisting of a vocal-ist, two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer and a keyboard player, Ghost B.C. uses a su-perior knowledge of song crafting and a brazen disre-gard for convention to pro-duce a sound that reminds one of a church service on the eve of the apocalypse.
The organ is instantly rec-ognizable in today’s rock world as a largely foreign en-tity, but they weave its pas-sages brilliantly and seam-lessly into the context of the music. It intertwines with buzzing, distorted guitars that take their cues from both the winding leads of classic rock, the ear-grabbing sim-plicity of punk and the rhyth-mic, marching thump of thrash, all contained within a darkened atmosphere.
It’s an altogether refresh-ing result.
Full of religious-sounding, chanting vocal work that is as haunting and serene as it is beautiful and smooth, this unholy matrimony of per-
ceived musical disconnect comes together to form a powerful melodic entity that is more than worthy of praise.
The harmonies are sub-tle and subdued, serving to keep a calm, though slightly unnerving tone to the music, due to the band’s contrasting style and execution.
They show a great deal of maturity in letting songs breathe, and they create a sense of space unlike so many of their progressive peers.
Ghost B.C. simply isn’t who you want them to be, in the best possible way.
Whether they’re drawing from pop-punk, polka, clas-sic rock, thrash or angrily scribbling on the church bul-letin in the back pew, from the depraved carousel ride of “Secular Haze” to the surpris-ingly pop-sensible bounce of “Jigolo Har Megiddo,” Ghost B.C. throws enough change-ups to keep the album from getting stale, and they keep the unique concept they’ve created sounding crisp and fresh.
“Infestissumam” is likely only the beginning for this mega-talented and unapol-ogetic six-piece outfit.

Spring game will provide sneak peek
of 2013As the West Virginia foot-
ball team walked off the field following the New Era Pin-stripe Bowl, it was inevitable things were about to change.
After a season in which the Mountaineer defense was as bad as it’s ever been and one of the most talented and prolific offensive units to ever don the Old Gold and Blue lost a large percentage of its key cogs, there has been plenty of uncertainty and in-trigue surrounding WVU’s second spring practice with head coach Dana Holgorsen at the helm.
That’s why next weekend’s Blue-Gold Spring Game is going to be so important for anyone following Mountain-eer football. For a team that has so many question marks surrounding it heading into the season, this will be a great first opportunity to get some of the answers to the ques-tions everyone is asking.
And there are so many things that need to be answered.
Of course, the biggest question comes from the huge shoes Geno Smith left behind after three years as the Mountaineers’ starting quarterback.
Up to this point in the spring, according to Holgors-en’s depth chart (which, as he always says, isn’t really even worth the paper it is printed on), junior Paul Millard is listed as the No. 1 quarter-back ahead of redshirt fresh-man Ford Childress and true freshman Chavas Rawlins. Whoever wins the job, likely either Millard or Childress, will have the daunting task of stepping in for Smith and – based on the past success of first-year quarterbacks at WVU – will be expected to jump in and make big con-tributions quickly.
Dating back to 2002, West Virginia’s last four starting quarterbacks have all won at least nine games in their first year starting.
But the Mountaineers don’t just have to figure out who will be throwing the ball; there are also plenty of spots available for the players who will be catching passes from whomever wins that job. In an offense in which the depth at receiver is more im-portant than ever, WVU re-turns just two receivers who caught more than two passes last season and lost five of its six leading receivers.
As a result, there will be plenty of chances for not only the players returning without much experience, but also for guys like Kevin White and Daikiel Shorts to begin mak-ing a name for themselves before the rest of a talented class (that includes players like Shelton Gibson) makes its way to campus for fall camp in August.
When you factor in a tough running back com-petition, a young offensive line and a defense that has been gaining experience and is hungry to get better after last season, there will be plenty of things to watch for when they take on the field Saturday at Milan Pus-kar Stadium.
Right now, I think West Virginia is looking at a bit of a rebuilding year with ev-eryone who left after last sea-son. Even with the best of-fensive talent the school has seen in quite some time, the Mountaineers were only able to win seven games. So it’s hard to expect WVU to win more than six games or so in 2013.
But that’s just the way I think it will turn out right now; there will be plenty of things that could change as the season draws closer and once we get a good look at the talent of the players who will be counted on to con-tribute more this season.
And evaluating those things will start Saturday in the spring game when we get to see them in real, in-game action for the first time.

WVU takes two of three from Flames, has won 12 of last 17 gamesby connor Murray
sports writer
The WVU baseball team concluded a busy five-game week by win-ning two of three games against the Liberty Flames in Lynchburg, Va., this weekend.
Friday night’s game was dominated by WVU’s sophomore left-hander Harrison Musgrave. Mus-grave threw seven shutout innings, striking out two and allowing only three hits as he improved his overall record to 5-1 with the Mountaineers’ 8-0 victory.
Junior first baseman Ryan McBroom continued his recent power surge with a three-run home run in the first inning.
The Mountaineer of-fense never looked back from there, rattling off 11 hits on the way to victory.
Saturday was a com-pletely different story, however, as the Moun-taineers found themselves at the mercy of the Liberty offense, falling 9-2.
Junior Corey Walter took the loss for WVU after working 6.1 innings while giving up five earned runs on the strength of eight hits. With the loss, Wal-ter’s record dropped to 2-4 on the season.
Senior pitcher Roy
Brooks did his part to shut down the Mountain-eer offense, working 7.0 innings while only giving up two earned runs on five hits.
Sophomore short-stop Taylor Munden pro-vided a bright spot for the Mountaineer offense, go-ing 2-3 on the day with a double, a walk, a run bat-ted in and a run scored.
Sunday’s game was a complete change of pace from the offensive output in the first two games of the series as the pitcher dominated the rubber game.
Senior Dan Dierdorff pitched a gem for the Mountaineers, throwing a complete game without surrendering an earned run in the 2-1 WVU victory.
The senior from Mount Wolf, Pa., struck out five Liberty batters while only surrendering five hits during his nine innings of work.
The first inning pro-vided all the offense t h e M o u n t a i n e e r s would need as back-to-back RBI’s from Brady Wilson and Ryan Tunt-land gave WVU an early 2-0 lead.
Dierdorff locked it down from there as the Mountaineers saw their

The West Virginia men’s soccer team traveled to face a former Big East Conference foe, the Pittsburgh Panthers, Saturday night at the Pe-tersen Sports Complex.
The Mountaineers en-tered the game with a 1-1 re-cord in the spring season. WVU defeated Navy last weekend after falling to the Pittsburgh Riverhounds of the USL Pro League.
West Virginia (1-1-0) and Pitt played to a 0-0 fi-nal. Despite playing well in long stages of the game, the Mountaineers’ lingering problems of finishing scor-ing opportunities came into play again.
The Mountaineers have never officially fallen to Pitt in head coach Marlon LeB-lanc’s tenure at WVU. West Virginia ended the Backyard Brawl on a 13-year unbeaten
streak. “It’s more than just a
namesake that makes a ri-valry. We’ve been pretty much the dominant force in this rivalry for the entire length of it. I think, if any-thing, our guys got a taste of what it’s like to go on the road and deal with a team that was trying to break things up and disrupt things,” he said.
LeBlanc added that some of his guys were able to face some tactics and challenges they are not accustomed to in a regular-season game.
“I thought they responded well,” he said. “There were a couple nasty challenges that our guys were very much prepared to step to the fore-front and defend each other and play for each other. They played very well, rep-resenting the shirt on the road, dealing with some of those obstacles and circumstances.”
WVU was able to gain
many chances through its solid attack all afternoon. Its best chance came when senior forward Jay Williams was able to get the ball into the net, but the officials ruled him offsides.
“We created some really good chances, and we felt that, with some better fin-ishing, we could have had the game put away in the first five or 10 minutes,” LeB-lanc said. “We played very, very well; we were just un-lucky on the scoring end. I don’t think it’s a question if whether or not we’re go-ing to create them (scoring chances) or finish them.”
West Virginia will con-tinue its spring season on the road when it travels to play St. Francis next week-end. The Mountaineers will look to win their first game away from Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium this spring season.

It was a busy weekend for the West Virginia University volleyball team as it played three sets each against Wil-liam & Mary, University of Virginia and George Mason. WVU managed to go 2-1 with every team it faced.
“It was a long week. We started practice on Tuesday and worked more on tech-nique on Friday,” said WVU head coach Jill Kramer. “We still need to work on things we can control. We need to be able to put the ball where we want it, too, and be strong at the left-side at-tacker position.”
The Mountaineers came out strong against William & Mary, winning the opening two sets by a score of 25-20 and 25-16, but the Tribe cap-italized on errors from West Virginia in the third set and managed to come away with a 12-15 victory.
“We came out with some fire against William and Mary; we looked and played
strong,” Kramer said. “But we gave up a lot of unforced er-rors and lost the third set.”
WVU came out strong again in its second match of the day against George Ma-son, picking up the first set by a score of 25-21. GMU started to find their groove in the second set and blasted the Mountaineers 25-18. Coach Kramer got her group
to bounce back in the third set bouncing the Patriots 15-8.
“We had a slow start in the second set, but we continued to play as a team in the third set and managed to come away with a victory,” Kramer said.
The final match of the weekend came against Vir-ginia, where West Virginia
shot out of the gate strong and picked up the first set 25-18. The Cavaliers would bounce back in the second due to communication er-rors and even the match at one. The volleyball team fin-ished its weekend strong by rallying in the third set to complete the sweep by a score of 25-21.
“This is the best I have
seen us play this year,” Kramer said. “When we play as a team, we look like one of the best teams out there right now.”
The volleyball team will continue practicing through-out the week as they prepare to take on George Washing-ton and old rival Marshall.

WVU drops two of three during weekendby meghan carr
sports writer
The West Virginia Uni-versity women’s soccer team competed against Pittsburgh, Ohio State and St. Francis (Pa.) this week-end, winning one match of three and making the Mountaineers 2-2 in spring play.
The Mountaineers de-feated Pittsburgh 1-0 Sat-urday in the first 45-min-ute match and lost to Ohio State 1-0 in the sec-ond 45-minute match in Pittsburgh.
In the Pittsburgh game, freshman midfielder Amanda Hill scored on a header after a corner kick from sophomore Kate Schwindel sent the ball into the box.
These were Ohio State’s final two games of its spring season, and the Buckeyes proved a little too difficult for the Mountaineers to adjust to. Associate head coach Lisa Stoia said it was a little difficult for her team to play one half against one style and play the next half against a different style.
Ohio State forward Kris-ten Niederhaus was left un-matched in the Mountain-eer box and slipped the ball past sophomore goalie Sara Keane, scoring the decisive goal and putting the Buck-eyes up 1-0.
Ohio State won a 2-0 de-cision against Pittsburgh in the third game.
The Mountaineers did not have a happy home-coming as they lost to St. Francis Sunday 2-1.
“I think we beat our-selves today,” Stoia said. She was filling in for head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown while she assists with Na-tional Team training this week.
The Mountaineers had many opportunities on of-
fense but couldn’t capital-ize. They had eight shots on goal today, compared to St. Francis’ five shots. The Mountaineers couldn’t keep up with the faster legs of St. Francis. Stoia said fa-tigue is a big part of it.
“I’m not one to make ex-cuses, but I think this team coming off playing two tough teams yesterday, and then being low in numbers, I think it’s always hard and tiring,” Stoia said.
Several defensive mis-takes from the Mountain-eers allowed St. Francis to quickly take control of the game. Stoia said inexperi-
ence and youth could be part of the reason for the defensive lapse today.
“I think, sometimes, we get caught in transition, and it’s a very young back-line with not a lot of expe-rience playing together, so there is always going to be breakdowns, and that is something we will work on in training to get them better,” Stoia said. “We pre-pare all week long for these type of things, and we’ll address these breakdowns this week.”
St. Francis struck first with 10 minutes left in the first half.
Another defensive mis-take allowed St. Francis to score just three minutes into the second half, but two minutes later soph-omore Kate Schwindel scored the only goal for the Mountaineers.
There were still mistakes made throughout the game, but Stoia said she is happy with the effort she saw in the second half.
“What I told the team at halftime is I’m not worried about certain breakdowns that we had, in reference to what St. Francis was able to do,” Stoia said. “I was more concerned with tak-
ing care of West Virginia Soccer. I like what I saw from them in the second half, as far as effort goes. I think we just need to come back this week and men-tally regroup.”
Stoia will continue to coach in Izzo-Brown’s ab-sence. Izzo-Brown is cur-rently helping with the U.S. U-20 National team training camp in Carson, California.
The Mountaineers are back in action April 20 against Maryland at Dick Dlesk field. Admission is free.

Man city beats chelsea 2-1 to reach Fa cup finalLONDON (AP) — Man-
chester City reached the FA Cup final by beating de-fending champion Chelsea 2-1 in a free-flowing game at Wembley on Sunday.
Goals by Samir Nasri in the 35th minute and Sergio Aguero in the 47th built a 2-0 lead, and Demba Ba pulled the Blues back into the game with an acrobatic finish in the 66th. Ba wasted his team’s best chance to tie it when he fired straight at goalkeeper Costel Pantili-mon from close range min-utes later.
“It is another great day for the club,” City captain Vincent Kompany said. “We never doubted the fact that we wanted to win tro-phies. This was an impor-tant game and it will be an even more important game in the final against Wigan. That is what we are looking forward to now.”
City will be a huge fa-vorite in the May 11 fi-nal against Wigan, which beat Millwall 2-0 on Sat-urday. Chelsea beat Liver-pool in last year’s final, but its only hope for a trophy is now in the Europa League, where it has reached the semifinals.
A day after Wigan’s vic-tory was marred by Millwall fans fighting in the stands at Wembley, City and Chel-sea combined to put the fo-cus firmly back on soccer as they produced an enter-taining end-to-end game played at a relentless pace.
The opening goal was set up by a run by Yaya Toure, who found Aguero free in the area. The Ar-gentine laid off the ball to Nasri, who tried to play a 1-2 with Aguero — only for
the ball to ricochet back to the Frenchman off Cesar Azpilicueta. Augero calmly slotted it past keeper Petr Cech.
Many fans were still making their way back to their seats after the half-time break when Gareth Barry sent a cross into the
area and Aguero rose to put in a looping header off the post.
Just seconds after man-ager Rafa Benitez put in Fernando Torres as an ex-tra attacking threat, Ba met a high bouncing ball in the area, turned in the air and sent a shot past a diving
Pantilimon.In the Premier League,
Manchester United won 2-0 at Stoke, getting a goal from Michael Carrick in the fourth minute and a penalty kick by Robin van Persie in the 66th after the Dutch forward was fouled by Andy Wilkinson.
Closing on a record 20th English league title, United (26-4-2) opened a 15-point lead over second-place Manchester City (19-4-8), the defending champion.
Stephan Sessegnon, Adam Johnson and David Vaughan scored spectac-ular goals to give Sunder-

Trey burke leaving Michigan early for nba draftANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP)
— The time was right for Trey Burke.
The Michigan star made it official Sunday: He’s leaving the Wolverines to enter the NBA draft. The move came as no surprise after Burke was voted The
Associated Press national player of the year and led Michigan to the NCAA ti-tle game as a sophomore.
Burke also considered going to the NBA a year ago, but he came back for another season. Now he departs with his stock
seemingly peaking.“I just felt like this was
the best opportunity for me,” Burke said. “It’s an opportunity that I’ve al-ways wanted.”
The 6-foot point guard averaged 18.6 points and 6.7 assists per game in
2012-13. He made perhaps the most memorable shot of the NCAA tournament, a long 3-pointer in the fi-nal seconds against Kan-sas that sent that regional semifinal to overtime.
Michigan made the Final Four for the first time since
1993, and in the champi-onship game against Lou-isville, Burke scored 24 points in a losing effort.
Burke nearly left the Wolverines after his fresh-man season but decided to stay. Expectations were high at Michigan after his return, and the Wolver-ines lived up to them – in part because Burke’s fu-ture never seemed to be a distraction.
“He came back with re-ally a fire in his belly to improve his game,” coach John Beilein said. “He just went to work. There wasn’t one time that I felt that he was playing for the NBA and not playing for Michigan.”
Once the season ended, it would have been shock-ing if Burke came back again. The main question for Michigan is how many other players the Wolver-ines might lose. Junior Tim Hardaway Jr. and freshmen Mitch McGary and Glenn Robinson III are also con-sidered candidates to turn pro.
Burke’s teammates were on hand for his announce-ment Sunday, but they weren’t available to re-porters. The deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft is April 28.
Burke didn’t need much time. His case was pretty clear cut.
“I really felt, knowing Trey the way I know him, that this decision was go-ing to be an easy one for him,” Beilein said. “We
have always wanted young men to come back with both feet in, and making sure that those other op-portunities – if they were there – that he was ready for it. We felt, both ways, that this was his time.”
Burke took over as Mich-igan’s point guard as a freshman – after Darius Morris had gone pro fol-lowing his sophomore sea-son. Now Michigan faces the same scenario. Incom-ing recruit Derrick Wal-ton Jr. may have a chance to run the team right away, and Spike Albrecht – who scored 17 points in the ti-tle game – is also expected back after backing up Burke.
“A lot of our guys are go-ing to have to step up, and we have no doubt that they will,” Beilein said. “There are big footsteps to fill, but we feel very strongly that we have the guys that can really assist us in that.”
Burke leaves after bring-ing Michigan back to heights the program hadn’t enjoyed in some time. In 2012, the Wolverines tied for their first regular-sea-son Big Ten title since 1986.
After that, Burke de-cided to stick around for another year, and Michi-gan made it all the way to the national championship game.
“Last year, the advice I was getting, I didn’t really realize how true it would be until I came back,” Burke said. “It was a great decision.”

overall record grow to 20-17, good enough for sixth place in the Big 12 standings.
Junior Trey Lambert was the hard luck loser on the day for Liberty, as he matched Dierdorrf ’s com-plete game with one of his own, allowing just two runs on five hits with two strikeouts.
Having won three of their last four games, the Mountaineers will head to Charleston, W.Va., to face
the Morehead State Eagles Tuesday at 6 p.m.
T h e E a g l e s w i l l come into the matchup struggling as they have lost 12 games in a row, drop-ping their overall record to 9-27.
With a weekend series at Texas looming after their date with Morehead State, coach Randy Mazey may very well give the start-ing nod to Zach Bargeron or Brock Dykhoorn in an effort to preserve the top three in the rotation for the team’s return to Big 12 play.
