Passing of the Rifl e
New mascot Burwell receives his musketBY ERIN FITZWILLIAMS
CORRESPONDENT
The rifle has officially been passed.
Brock Burwell, the West Vir-ginia University new Mountaineer Mascot, was presented the musket by former mascot Rebecca Durst in a ceremony Th ursday.
Former Mountaineer Mascots Rock Wilson (1991-1993), Brady Campbell (2006-07) and Natalie Tennant (1990-91) all spoke about the history, role and signifi cance of the mascot.
Burwell talked about his jour-ney to fi nally become the mas-cot after two years of being an alternate.
“It really didn’t hit me until a few weeks after I was announced,” Burwell said. “I realized how many pushups I was going to have to do, I’ve been in the gym.”
He has aspired to be the mas-cot ever since he appeared as the “Little Mountaineer” with his un-cle and former mascot Wilson.
Although frustrated by being an alternate, Burwell said it was the greatest time in his life and is very excited to be the new mascot.
During his speech, Wilson called up his 3-year-old son, River, who was clad in tiny buckskins and carried a plastic musket.
“When I was the West Virginia Mountaineer, I had seen a tradi-tion 10 years before where a guy brought a Little Mountaineer to
the games with him, and (Bur-well) was my ‘Little Mountaineer,’” Wilson said. “And believe it or not, he wore that uniform.”
Wilson told the tale of how the Mountaineer came to be in the 1920s, and then in 1934 when the Mountain Honorary began to se-lect an offi cial mascot.
He also talked of his time as the mascot and how he is still rec-
ognized today for his three-year term.
“Th e experience I just described is about to be lived by that young man (Burwell) sitting right there, and I’m so excited for him,” Wil-son said.
Wilson had been an alter-nate mascot for two years before his term and followed a female Mountaineer, just as Burwell has,
Tennant said.Durst, the second female mas-
cot, completed her 2009-10 term wearing the buckskins and repre-senting WVU.
“Th is past year has really been a whirlwind. It’s been challenging, it’s been very, very exciting, and above all, it has changed my life,”

School of Medicine, Nursing receive top honorsBY ANN COMPTON
STAFF WRITER
West Virginia University’s School of Medicine received two national honors in U.S. News & World Report’s 2011 edition of “America’s Best Graduate Schools.”
Th e school was recognized in April as 10th-best for rural medi-cine and ranked 49th for primary care. Th e last time WVU placed in the top 10 was 2008.
Th e rankings are based on rat-ings by medical school deans and senior faculty in the nation’s 126 accredited medical schools and 20 accredited schools of osteo-pathic medicine, according to the website.
“It’s recognition by our peer in-
stitutions and their opinion lead-ers in the country of the quality programs we have here at WVU,” said James Brick, WVU School of Medicine interim dean.
The school has a history of outreach to the rural population, Brick said.
Currently, there are 25 to 30 outreach clinics and educational programs where medical students
can learn and work, Brick said.Th e outreach programs are a
continuation of the University’s commitment to its land-grant be-ginnings, Brick said.
“We have a very significant commitment to rural health care here at WVU,” Brick said. “Th is school has a long-standing tradi-tion of service.”
Every student in the School of Medicine must learn and care for patients in rural areas as a requirement for graduation, he said.
“West Virginia is a very rural, sparsely populated state, and we feel that it’s important to go to the people and serve them,” Brick said.
Approximately 40 percent of graduates from the School of
Medicine practice in West Vir-ginia, Brick said.
“It’s good to be recognized, but it’s more important to do the work,” Brick said.
WVU’s School of Nursing was also ranked No. 72 for its Masters of Science in nursing program by U.S. News & World Report.
The rankings are by nurs-ing deans and faculty at schools across the country.
Th e recognition is proof of the quality programs at WVU, said Georgia Narsavage, dean of the School of Nursing.
“Hopefully this will help poten-tial students realize that WVU is the place they want do their nurs-ing degree at,” Narsavage said.
Frat welcomes disabled teen
BY MELISSA CANDOLFISTAFF WRITER
Since the beginning of last year, members of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity have been enjoying the company of a lo-cal high school student living with Down syndrome.
Every Monday through Th ursday, the brothers of West Virginia University’s TKE open their doors to Spencer Stemple, a 17-year-old senior at Morgan-town High School.
Spencer said coming to the house has been the best time of his life because the broth-ers treat him like a full-fl edged member.
“We play sports – that’s my favorite, like basketball, foot-ball and baseball,” Spencer said.
In the beginning of the fall 2009 semester, the TKE broth-ers were approached by Spen-cer’s mother, Patty Stemple, about spending time with him after school. She received the suggestion from her son who is a TKE member at Shepherd
University. “My son told me to call the
TKE house,” Patty said. “We went to a meeting and talked about what it would entail. Th e brothers talked about it and de-cided to do it.”
Patty said the brothers are great with Spencer, and their time together brings out the best in him.
“Th ey are providing a very needed service, and that makes them feel good about them-selves,” she said, “We have been very open about it and how good it has been for us.”
Spencer is a very active teen-ager, so when he is with the brothers, they are constantly getting into something, Patty said.
“He likes to play golf, he likes to swim, and he loves to be play basketball,” she said, “He can play all the sports and do those things in a normal way with his normative peers, and that re-ally makes him excited.”

‘Mini-scholarships’ created for students
BY SAMANTHA COSSICKASSOCIATE CITY EDITOR
Students who need finan-cial assistance paying for the 2010-11 academic year can turn to the West Virginia Uni-versity Foundation for help.
The Foundation launched a new campaign April 12 called “Stepping Up For Stu-dents,” which aims to collect money from donors to give as scholarships, said Greg McCracken, director of the University Fund at the WVU Foundation.
“What we are trying to do is ask alumni and friends of the University to look at the web-site and make gifts toward the campaign,” he said.
The Foundation’s scholar-ships will be different than typical scholarship or finan-cial aid packages in that they will only range from $500 to $1,000, McCracken said.
“What we’re really doing is creating a mini-scholarship, and it’s a need-based schol-arship,” he said.
Many times students are successful academically and work to make ends meet but still need a little help staying in school.
The Foundation hopes to help more than “just a hand-ful” of students, but aid as many WVU students as pos-sible, he said.
“Hopefully if we raise enough money we can

More than 1,500 undergrad summer classes to be off ered
BY BRITTANY COLESTAFF WRITER
With Finals Week just around the corner, West Virginia Univer-sity students have several online and on-campus options for sum-mer classes.
WVU will off er more than 1,500 undergraduate courses, includ-ing 340 sections of undergradu-ate online classes this summer.
Those courses include ba-sic courses, as well as a variety of new and unique courses, said Lynn Reinke, director of commu-nication for Extended Learning and Summer Sessions.
Many of the WVU depart-ments will off er new classes to give students opportunities they wouldn’t necessarily have during the year, Reinke said.
“Th ere are some classes that we defi nitely think are interest-ing, so we wanted to highlight them,” Reinke said.
These include: “Barley to Beer,” “Monsters, Vampires, and Liberated Women” and a Na-tive American Studies course with the opportunity to travel to Alaska, Reinke said.
Th e online course “2012 Myths of the Maya” will help students better understand the Mayan culture, said Bonnie Brown, co-
ordinator of the Native American Studies program.
“Th is is a course that will de-bunk some of the myths that have been generated from the Mayan culture, especially the 2012 myth, and hooking into the fact that so many people are in-trigued in the Mayan calendar,” Brown said.
Students will learn about Ma-yan literature, mythology and will learn how the Mayan cal-endar has been interpreted in new-age literature and apoca-lypse conspiracy theories from a professor who studied in Mayan country, Brown said.
Professor Michael Ennis has a doctorate in literature and has published several materi-als about Mayan culture, Brown said.
“I know that the students will learn a great deal from Dr. Ennis in this really unique online sum-mer class,” she said.
A second Native American Studies course, “Yup’ik Culture and History,” will include a 10-day trip to Tuntutuliak, Alaska, Brown said.
“Th is is what we call a travel-immersion class,” Brown said. “Th ey will be visiting a Yup’ik village community of about 300 people.”
WVU will also off er more basic classes that fulfi ll General Edu-cation Curriculum requirements, Reinke said.
“The important message to students is how flexible the schedule is,” Reinke said. “We have a variety of things between online, on-campus and the ad-venture courses.”
Summer classes provide more fl exibility for travel, work or trips home, Reinke said.
Under the new 12-week term, students have the opportunity to take a three-week class, take a three-week break and come back to take a six-week class, Reinke said.
Th is format allows students to still register for classes from now until summer, Reinke said.

making him feel right at home in the fraternity, she said. In the beginning of the semester, they made him a pledge and then eventually honored him as a brother.
Spending time with Spen-cer has allowed the brothers to grow, said Ben Archer, a senior
industrial engineering major and TKE member.
“It gives us a chance to give back to the community, but in another way, it helps us see an-other side of life,” Archer said.
Eric Larson, a pre-business and economics major, said having a responsibility like this shows the WVU community that fraternities are not just about partying. It is a responsibility he will gladly take on, he said.
“We do care about the com-munity,” Larson said. “(Spen-cer’s) brother is a brother of TKE at Shepherd University, so we are taking care of our own. Spencer is now a TKE brother, too.”
TKE hopes to continue spending time with Spencer during the following school year as well.

Deadline for parking permit renewal ends todayRecycling on the rise
BY DAVID RYANA&E EDITOR
An estimated 18 tons of elec-tronic waste was collected by West Virginia University as part of a free recycling event April 23.
As of now, that number is 28 tons below last year’s, although recycling at the University has increased since 2007 when it of-fered paper, plastic and card-board services around campus.
However, in the past year, re-cycling of plastic has decreased 3 percent, aluminium decreased 25 percent, scrap metal decreased 31 percent, steel cans decreased 61 percent and cardboard de-creased 47 percent.
Paper recycling at WVU has in-creased 20 percent, with 392 tons of paper recycled in 2009 more than the 326 tons in 2008.
Th e University recycled a total of 46 tons of electronic materi-als in 2009, a 25 percent increase over a total of 37 tons of recycled
material in 2008.Clement Solomon, director
of the Offi ce of Sustainability at WVU, said recycling is now in-grained into everyday routine around campus.
“People are quietly doing it. Th ere’s no big fanfare with regard to it,” Solomon said.
“It’s actually become an ev-eryday activity. People do it their own way, whether it be collect-ing it for a few days and taking it to the bin or doing it on a daily basis.”
Th e University’s WE CAN sus-tainability project hosted the April 23 event in conjunction with local technology recycle company PC Renewal.
Th e event took hundreds of items, such as TVs, printers, com-puters, DVD players, telephones and cell phones off the hands of Morgantown and WVU commu-nity members, said Barbara An-geletti, Recycling Coordinator for WVU.
Angeletti said the event was important due to the nature of the material found in electronics.
“Th ese items contain toxic sub-stances (lead, mercury) that must be removed before disposal,” she said. “Otherwise, these tox-ins leach into the ground at the point of disposal and contami-
nate the disposal area.”Th ere is also an economic ben-
efi t to the University for recycling, she said.
“When our refuse trucks tip their load at the transfer station, it costs $58.50 per ton,” she said. “When the recycling trucks tip their load at the recycling center, it costs WVU nothing.”
WVU does not currently off er its own recycling service for elec-tronics but is contracted through PC Renewal.
Th e company is able to dispose materials in electronics in an en-vironmentally safe way accord-ing to EPA guidelines, according to its website.
“Th ese (electronic) items also contain gold and copper, which is both valuable and recoverable, so deconstruction is necessary to capture the valuable components and to remove the harmful ones,” Angeletti said. “It is also illegal to put these items in the trash.”
Th e recycling numbers show that the WVU community has begun to embrace recycling, An-geletti said.
“Recycling is one of the easi-est ‘green’ practices to adopt be-cause it requires almost no sacri-fi ce,” she said.

help a significant number of students. That’s our goal,” Mc-Cracken said.
The campaign idea came about after speaking with the Financial Aid Office and realiz-ing there was an increase in the number of students seeking fi-nancial aid, McCracken said.
During the 2008-09 academic year, the Financial Aid Office had about 800 students contact
them saying they needed assis-tance due to “special circum-stances,” said Kaye Widney, Fi-nancial Aid director.
“If a student or family has a hardship, we have always en-couraged them to contact the Financial Aid Office,” Widney said. “This (scholarship) is just another tool.”
Eligibility for the scholar-ships will be determined on a
case-by-case basis, and fund-ing availability is dependent on the success of the campaign, Widney said.
McCracken said it is still “very early” for the campaign, but the Foundation has re-ceived some gifts.
“It probably reinforces my thought that it is an issue out there,” McCracken said. “We are seeing gifts coming in, but some people are telling us things are tight.”

It is not uncommon to turn on a news program and hear some-one decry the tremendous level of partisanship evident in to-day’s political system.
Politicians and pundits alike have testifi ed about just how bad our current situation is and wistfully reminisce about the “good ole days,” when one must assume cooperation was king and a hearty chorus of Kum-baya was often heard emanating from the halls of the capitol.
Th e idea that Congress was once a magical place where ev-eryone got along and put aside their ideological diff erences to work toward the good of the country is an appealing fi ction, with an emphasis on the latter word.
Still, when the most sweep-ing legislation in nearly half a century is signed into law with-out a single vote from the oppo-sition party, something may in fact be amiss.
One might argue the reason
health care reform didn’t re-ceive any bipartisan support was because the bill was so ideologically one sided or al-ternatively that Republicans were set against reform no mat-ter what the bill contained, for political reasons. Th ere is, how-ever, an important explanation that is frequently overlooked. Our political system inherently punishes bipartisanship and re-wards extremism.
This systemic problem is largely the result of our system of political primaries. Most peo-ple don’t realize primary elec-tions have not always been an important part of our political process.
Until the early ’70s, many states didn’t even hold prima-ries, and the political parties themselves often selected who they would run for the general election. Primaries were insti-tuted in an eff ort to make the selection process more dem-ocratic and responsive to the popular will.
Th e problem is that the peo-ple who vote in primary elec-tions are not representative of the population as a whole. A breakdown of the entire Amer-
ican electorate would put the vast majority of Americans somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum, with rela-tively small, but vocal, minori-ties fi lling out the right and left extremes.
With such a large voter pool to court, one would think that the political environment should be fairly receptive to moderate pol-iticians, who by defi nition are more willing to compromise and work in a bipartisan man-ner. But it’s not, and primaries are partly to blame.
Turnout in primary elections is much lower than in general elections. Th is allows the rel-atively small number of ex-tremists have undue infl uence in this phase of the process. Th ere is ample evidence for this distortion.
Joe Lieberman lost his Dem-ocratic senatorial primary in 2006 but won the 2006 general election in convincing fashion as an independent. Arlen Spec-ter, a noted moderate, switched parties in 2009 to avoid a pri-mary battle and is expected to win reelection in 2010. Former Florida governor Charlie Crist leads statewide general election
polls for a U.S. Senate seat but trails challenger Mark Rubio in polls for the Republican primary – he is widely expected to an-nounce an independent bid for the seat.
It’s evident the average pri-mary voter is more ideologically extreme than the average gen-eral election voter. Th us, having a record of bipartisanship or ex-pressing a willingness to com-promise is not the message pri-mary voters, for the most part, want to hear.
One reason primary turn-out is low and dominated by the party orthodoxy is intensity of interest. People with strong political convictions generally care more about politics and are more likely to be politically ac-tive. Overcoming this interest gap is diffi cult if not impossi-ble, but it is not the only factor that pushes primary electorates away from the center.
Th e structure of primaries, most importantly who is al-lowed to vote and rules govern-ing what candidates advance, can be reformed so that less ex-treme candidates can compete in a primary setting.
Th e fi rst step is to end the
practice of closed primaries, in which only registered mem-bers of a political party can vote in that party’s primary. As the number of unaffi liated and in-dependently registered vot-ers grow, closed primaries (still used by about 20 states, includ-ing West Virginia Democrats) shut out a larger and larger seg-ment of the electorate.
Moving away from closed primaries would be a start, but adopting an alternative method known as “blanket” prima-ries could have an even greater moderating infl uence. Rather than forcing voters to select only from candidates of a sin-gle party, they could vote for any candidate from either party, in theory allowing moderate can-didates to attract support from both sides of aisle.
Another modifi cation some-times associated with the blan-ket primary is an altered ad-vancement rule, where the top two vote getters, regardless of party affi liation, move on to the general election. So if two Re-publicans or two Democrats, or one Green Party and one Lib-ertarian, receive the most pri-mary votes they square off in
the general election. Th is helps solve the problem that arises in “safe” districts, in which the winner of the dominant party’s primary is almost guaranteed to win the general election. What-ever methods are implemented, reforming the primary system is a critical fi rst step that must be taken to reduce excessive levels of partisanship.
I’d like to end this column on a personal note. Th is may be the last column I write for this pa-per, and I wanted to acknowl-edge and thank the wonderful staff at Th e Daily Athenaeum who work very hard and rarely get the praise they deserve. I’d like to especially thank the copy desk staff , for keeping me from looking too stupid, Dave Ryan, for hiring me in the fi rst place, and Brannan Lahoda, the edi-tor I’ve worked with the most, who has given me far more lat-itude than I deserve. Finally I’d like to thank the DA readers. Th ank you for all of your com-ments, both positive and nega-tive, on the website, as well as complements you’ve given me in person. It was an honor and a privilege writing for you on a weekly basis. Th anks.
Reforming election system can reduce partisan gridlockZACH VIGLIANCOCOLUMNIST
Th e West Virginia University Student Government Associa-tion’s proposal for a larger bud-get of $1.4 million should be ap-proved in the fall.
SGA currently has a budget of $70,000 for projects around campus – pittance in relation to the scope of the organization’s ambitions.
Th e current budget hampers multiple levels of the organiza-tion’s eff ectiveness.
SGA routinely has to deny re-quests for funding for student organizations due to its limited budget.
Once the fi rst round of dona-
tions are made and governors are able to work on their plat-forms, there is little money to continue business.
“It sounds like a lot, when you really think about it, 15 gover-nors, executives, you don’t have that much freedom to spend,” said Ron Cheng, SGA vice president.
Cheng said the request for a budget increase would put WVU in line with other peer institu-tions, whose student leaders have more budget freedom.
Cheng said SGA President Chris Lewallen visited peer in-stitutions to fi gure out where
their money came from: stu-dent fees.
Depending on the outcome of an expected referendum vote in the fall, Cheng said a fee of $2 would be applied to each stu-dent per credit hour. A student taking 15 credit hours would pay $30 in fees, for example.
It might seem odd we are championing an increase of stu-dent fees while at the same time championing a tuition freeze.
With the vote in the coming fall, this fee won’t apply until the next round of student leaders.
Th ough $30 may sound like a lot, a sizable budget of $1.4 mil-
lion will give our student leaders much more power to improve the student experience at WVU.
Field space for intramu-ral sports has long been a con-cern, and Cheng said the group has often had no funds to help maintain areas or help establish projects.
With the additional money, the organization will be able to fi nally contribute to the so-lutions of campus problems, not merely advocate on the stu-dents’ behalf at the University level.
Of course, a bigger budget will require much more oversight.
Cheng said how the funds will be overseen will most likely fall on a professional accountant or the appointment of a supervisor.
We hope these oversight de-tails are provided, in full, before the referendum.
Knowing SGA has a system to oversee the additional funds will be key to the student body ap-proving such a request. We hope the students of WVU seriously consider this request.
Th e SGA at WVU can be so much more if given adequate funding.
In March, Apple engineer Gray Powell lost a prototype iP-hone 4G at a bar while celebrat-ing his birthday.
Th e one-off phone was found and picked up by a stranger who identifi ed the object as a dis-guised iPhone.
Upon this discovery, he sold the phone to popular technology website Gizmodo in exchange for cold hard cash –$5,000 to be exact.
Despite the phone be-ing remotely bricked after its disappearance, Gizmodo’s edi-tors and bloggers in no time had released details of the phone as they snapped photos of it and threw them on their website.
At the same time, to ensure Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ dirty lit-tle secret was going to be ex-ploited in every way possible,
Jason Chen, an editor for Giz-modo, presented the phone’s ob-servable features in a video.
Bad move, Jason, bad move.Police raided Chen’s home
Friday with a warrant to seize his computers under the prem-ise that they had been used to commit a felony.
Perhaps Jobs was so upset by Powell misplacing his iPhone that he felt compelled to ask the police to go and trash Chen’s house.
Now, it needs to be acknowl-edged that Jobs isn’t exactly a doltish individual.
It doesn’t take a rocket scien-tist to realize, based on Gizmo-do’s eagerness to publicize one undercover Apple product, that it probably wouldn’t hesitate to do the same again if it had access to any more devices.
Jobs knew that Chen was your average nerd who enjoys mak-ing what amounts to allowance money from blogging about technology and gadgetry.
As if retrieving the sacred pro-totype iPhone didn’t settle things
enough (Gizmodo did indeed re-turn the phone), the police by way of Apple justifi ed the need to storm Chen’s house with the explanation that he might have been a top-secret, super-crazy intelligence agent who had Jobs on his hit list.
But wait, perhaps we’re all missing the point. Maybe this whole fiasco is simply a marketing ploy fabricated by Apple’s brilliant marketing department.
Could we be pulling away from rainbow-colored iPod com-mercials in favor of epic viral campaigns?
If that truly is the case, then Steve Jobs, you’ve really out-done yourself this time. Maybe the iPad isn’t selling as well as you had hoped, or maybe col-lege students are fi nally realizing your laptops shouldn’t cost more than their cars.
Whatever the case, one thing is for sure – if Chen wasn’t a fan of Apple products before this happened, he certainly won’t be now.

Willie Nelson and son to perform at CACBY MACKENZIE MAYS
ASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR
Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson and Th e Promise of the Real per-form tonight at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center.
Grammy Award winner and iconic country singer Willie has been on the music scene since the ’70s, establishing a large fanbase along the way.
Having released many success-ful albums, Willie is now on tour to promote his latest eff ort titled “Country Music.”
Willie’s son, Lukas, is his open-ing act on the tour and will be ac-companied by his band Th e Prom-ise of the Real.
According to Lukas, the band’s sound is diffi cult to describe and has the capability of fi tting into several genres.
“Our sound is mostly folk/rock blues with Americana roots,” Lu-kas said. “We are sort of a jam band, too, but with rock ‘n’ roll infl uences.”
Lukas said this unique style has allowed the band to appeal to a va-riety of music fans and has made him proud to have a sound of his own.
“Everyone can like us because we integrate different musical styles into our work, but we’re not too far out there or weird,” Lukas said. “At the same time, we have a familiar and ‘at home’ sound even though our work is totally original.”
Having been on tour with his dad since he was a baby and sing-ing and playing the guitar since age 11, the family business is something that’s become comfort-able to Lukas, and he appreciates the opportunities it’s given him.
“It just feels like I’m playing mu-sic with him (his dad, Willie) like I would at home,” Lukas said. “It’s fun, and it’s really about the only time I get to see him. It’s the best quality time you could spend with someone. Singing is like sharing your soul with someone – some-times we don’t even need to talk
because we know we’re on the same level.”
Although Lukas admits fans have realized the similarities of his voice to his famous father’s, he claims there are a few diff erences in their music styles.
“We’re similar in the sense that we have that same ‘Allman Broth-ers’ style, and we give out the same vibe,” Lukas said. “We have more of that southern rock sound, but all of his fans seem to like us, too.”
Lukas expects a great crowd at the CAC tonight and said his con-certs are all about “closing your eyes, letting go and letting all your worries fade away.”
Lukas Nelson and Th e Promise of the Real are currently working on a new album and have an EP ti-tled “Brando’s Paradise Sessions,” which will be available for sale at the concert.
Willie Nelson and Lukas Nelson and Th e Promise of the Real per-form at 8:30 p.m.
Country music icon Willie Nelson performs. He and his son, Lukas Nelson, will perform at 8:30 p.m. at the Creative Arts Center.
Knoxville excited for premiere of new MTV series ‘Th e Dudesons’
BY MACKENZIE MAYSASSOCIATE A&E EDITOR
MTV is set to premiere its newest stunt-fi lled series “Th e Dudesons in America” next week.
Johnny Knoxville, a producer of the show, and Jukka Hilden, member of Th e Dudesons, dis-cussed the dangerous stunts the upcoming season has to of-fer, what it has cost them and their experience in America in a conference call April 22 with Th e Daily Athenaeum.
Th e Finnish stuntman group “Th e Dudesons” have seen in-ternational success with its “Jackass”-like TV series and are now bringing their antics to America with the help of Knox-ville, who has stunting experi-ence himself.
Th e series has been a hit in Finland for 10 years, and ac-cording to Hilden, having the opportunity to continue the show in America has brought a whole new dynamic to the show and meeting Knoxville was “a match made in hell.”
“We could never aff ord the stunts back home, but Johnny (Knoxville) opened the door with MTV, so now it’s a whole new dimension – it’s called the ‘land of opportunities’ for a rea-son,” Hilden said. “Th e stunts we’ve been able to do here are amazing. It’s been a damn good time, and it’s a very lov-able place.”
However, this new dynamic has also brought many injuries to the stunt group. According to Hilden, Th e Dudesons have suf-fered broken backs, ribs, ankles and tailbones.
Hilden said the injuries have
been worth it, and the series isn’t just about pulling fearless stunts but is about the experi-ences Th e Dudesons have in a new country.
“It’s a combination of every-thing. It’s about us coming here to America trying to fi nd our place in society with a culture that is so diff erent from what we’re used to,” Hilden said. “At the same time, it’s about doing creative and unique stunts. Th e whole thing is we never want to make fun of Americans – the joke is on us.”
These “creative” stunts in-clude walking on stilts in a bull-ring and trying to outrun wild tigers.
Knoxville said although there are obvious similarities to his MTV series “Jackass,” there are also diff erences and believes the show will be a big hit with American viewers.
“I really don’t know how to compare it to ‘Jackass.’ It’s in the same spirit, but Th e Dudes-ons are doing their own thing,” Knoxville said. “I think Ameri-can audiences are going to love it – it’s a whole new dimension of stunts.”
According to Knoxville, cast members from “Jackass” will make guest appearances on the new series, and “Th e Dudes-ons” will appear in the upcom-ing “Jackass 3D” movie.
Th e crew has been fi lming in America since January and has three episodes left to fi nish. Knoxville and Hilden seemed equally excited for the new show.
“Don’t think too much into it; just tune in and enjoy us getting banged up and exploded, and have a good laugh,” Hilden said.
“It’s been a blast so far. Uncle Sam is our new best friend.”
“Th e Dudesons in America” premieres on MTV Th ursday 6 at 10 p.m.
Cinco de Mayo celebration to raise money for international students
BY BRITTNI MCGUIREA&E WRITER
West Virginia University cele-brates Cinco de Mayo with a Mex-ican fi esta featuring music, a fash-ion show with traditional Mexican dresses and a folkloric dance by professional dancers.
Th e West Virginia Council of In-ternational Programs is hosting the event as a scholarship fund-raiser tonight from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Community Room of the Mountaineer Mall.
Th e fashion show will include approximately 10 models who will showcase traditional Mexican fash-ion from the diff erent regions of the country.
“In addition to the fashion show, we will have special guests per-forming traditional dance,” said Lisa Dunn, coordinator of Coun-cil of International Programs. “Also, music that encompasses the Mexi-can culture.”
According to Cecilia Orrego, member of the WVCIP, the event will not only be a great time and immerse the community in Mexi-can culture but will provide others with great opportunities.
“WVCIP board members are very excited and happy for this event to happen,” Orrego said. “It will give the chance to raise some money to scholarship funds and
help out our future Council Inter-national Program participants.”
WVCIP is an exchange pro-gram for professionals in the hu-man services fi eld from around the world and provides a four month exchange program that improves cross-cultural communications.
According to Sandra Dixon, member of the WVCIP board, the program is a nonprofi t organiza-tion, and fundraisers like this one help to fi nance its mission of “in-tercultural exchange.”
“Th is event will showcase Mex-ico’s amazing diversity,” Dixon added. “It will provide members of the Morgantown and WVU com-munities the opportunity to experi-ence Mexican culture in a very per-sonal way.”
Brayn Barrera, a freshman gen-eral studies major at WVU who
plans to attend the event said he was proud of the area for sup-porting such an event and is ea-ger to learn more about a diff erent culture.
“Events like these are the epit-ome of bringing diversity to the WVU campus. Not a lot of people here celebrate Cinco de Mayo other than making margaritas,” Barrera said. “It will be a good chance for others to get to see a diff erent kind of culture and experience some-thing that is diff erent from their own.”
Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for children 10 and younger, and $95 for a table of eight.
Th e event will cater appetizers and have live entertainment, which is included in the ticket price.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year, a partnership enhances your life and becomes far more important than in the past. You might feel out of sync sometimes when in-teracting on such a close level. Re-alize how much approval means to you. Learn to stand without it, and you will become freer. If you are single, you will desire a close relationship. As a result, you could hook up too quickly. Don’t settle, under any circumstances. Remember, it takes a year to get to know someone. If you are at-tached, the two of you defer to each other depending on the oc-casion. This year, you will want your signifi cant other to make more decisions. SAGITTARIUS can encompass all your time and attention.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★★ You have plans for the weekend that might prevent you from being present in the here and now. You feel uncom-fortable with a discussion, a fi -nancial matter and others in general. Why not take off early? Tonight: Proving life is an adventure.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★★★ A key associate, friend or loved one demands to be the one making the de-cisions. You could be uncom-
fortable with the decisions this person makes, but you don’t have a better solution. You come from a vibrant, cen-tered place when dealing with others. Tonight: Go along with another’s plans.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★★ A lot of opinions come forward if you listen and challenge. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is racing through your mind. Know when to share your ideas, which might not be now. Timing is everything! Be assertive. Tonight: Answer calls and e-mail fi rst.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★ All work and no play is not a good recipe right now. Friends tend to keep pushing you to join them. Meetings seem out of sync with the real issues. Use care with a fi nan-cial commitment; you could go overboard with spending. Tonight: Clear out errands fi rst, then decide.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★★ Your fiery side emerges when dealing with a child or loved one. Your high energy gets others thinking. You are very serious with a co-worker or associate. You take action quickly and sur-prise others. Tonight: Going
to extremes.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★ Keep an eye on the ba-sics. You might be more com-fortable at home. Your creativ-ity helps you get a project and your week accomplished. Oth-ers need your stability and per-spective. Use care with frustra-tion. If you suppress it, anger can develop and you could blow up. Tonight: Happy at home.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★★ Keep conversations moving and don’t lock on any one point. Later, you can re-think these conversations. A friend could encourage you to do something you want to do. You are high energy. A partner seems to understand you well. He or she feels connected with your feelings. Tonight: TGIF.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★ You can gain fi nancially if you don’t overthink things too much. Others mean well, but you might feel a little out of sync with them. A profes-sional eff ort pays off in many ways. Remain centered. To-night: Your treat.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★★ Beam in exactly what you want. With your magnetism skyrocketing, a
“maybe” easily could turn into a “yes.” Reach out for someone at a distance who you trust. This person certainly has a strong opinion. Tonight: What-ever makes you happy.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★ Take your time com-ing to a decision. If you are un-comfortable with what you are hearing, just listen. You will have plenty of time to think later. A partner takes a very strong stand. He or she knows you well. Listen to this person. Tonight: Just for you.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★★ All arrows point to a key meeting. As a sign, you excel with people, especially in group settings. Though you might get a strong reaction from another person, express your thoughts in a meeting. Tonight: Where people are.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★ A must appearance is inevitable. You might have a very diff erent idea about what is acceptable to the majority. Communication lets you know when others feel uncomfort-able. Do listen. Tonight: Count on going to bed late.

Rowlesburg hosts third annual ‘May Day Celebration’BY ASHLIE WALTER
A&E WRITER
Confederates and Union sol-diers will take to the battle field once more Saturday in a reen-actment of the Civil War.
The all-day event is spon-sored by the Tourist Commis-sion of Rowlesburg and is a cel-ebration of the anniversary of the town’s participation in the Civil War.
The people of Rowlesburg de-feated the Confederate Army in its attempt to destroy the town’s Cheat River Bridge April 26, 1863.
Although the townees were outnumbered, they succeeded due to their familiarity with the area.
This is the third celebration, but this is the first year battle site tours and rides to the top of
Cannon Hill are available. These tours begin Saturday
from 11:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.“The ride up to Cannon Hill
is worth the trip to Rowlesburg,” said Tim Weaver, commissioner of Tourism & Economic Devel-opment in Rowlesburg. “Rowles-burg is truly a magical place.”
A re-enactment of the Bat-tle of Rowlesburg will be per-formed at 2 p.m., and a Civil War Banquet featuring guest speaker Michael Workman will be held at 5 p.m.
There is a Buckwheat Cake
Breakfast Sunday at 8 a.m. fol-lowed by a “Big Mud Bog” con-test at noon and a military drill exhibition.
The event is not only ded-icated to honor those who played a significant role in the Civil War but is also an opportu-nity to benefit the community.
An Ambulance Services ben-efit is hosting A Ladies Tea Fundraiser at noon at the Christ Methodist Church.
“The Ambulance Services is also holding a dinner and bingo that all sponsor our organiza-tion,” said Kathy Sines, treasurer of the Ambulance Services asso-ciated with the Rowlesburg Fire Department.
The event is open to the pub-lic, however, certain events re-quire tickets.

Activision signs 10 year deal with ‘Halo’ creator Bungie
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Activision Blizzard Inc., cur-rently embroiled in a legal shoo-tout with two of its former game developers, has locked up the makers of “Halo” in an exclusive 10-year deal.
The company said Thursday it will bring to market the next big action game universe from Bungie, the video game stu-dio behind “Halo,” “Myth,” and “Marathon.”
It marks Bungie’s first such partnership since breaking off from Microsoft in 2007.
Under the deal, Activision will have exclusive worldwide rights to publish and distribute all fu-ture Bungie games based on the universe on multiple platforms and devices.
Jason Jones, who co-founded Bungie in 1991 and led the cre-ation of “Halo,” is heading up the development team.
Multiple game releases and the creation of an online com-munity are also part of the deal, executives said.
“We certainly think of the suc-cess we’ve built in `Halo’ over the last 10 years as a minimum bar for the success we plan mul-tiples of in the future,” Harold Ryan, president of Bungie, said in an interview.
Thomas Tippl, Activision’s chief operating officer, said Bun-gie laid out a compelling vision of the universe. “When it’s ready and when we’re talking about it, I think you will be blown away,” he said.
Tippl described an ongoing legal battle with Jason West and Vince Zampella, top executives at game studio Infinity Ward, as “unfortunate and unique.”
The two men have said they were fired recently by Activ-ision so the company could avoid paying hefty royalties on last fall’s hugely popular “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.”
Activision has said in a coun-tersuit that it fired them for in-subordination and trying to poach key employees.
“I think the Infinity Ward situ-ation is unique and unfortunate but it is not going to change our strategy nor our ability to attract the best talent in the industry,” Tippl said.
He also said profit margins on game publishing, above 20 percent in fiscal 2009, would be helped by the new partnership.
Activision is majority owned by France’s Vivendi SA.
Activision shares rose 26 cents, or 2.4 percent, at $11.19 in afternoon trading.

Paris Hilton owes $1M restitution for failing to plug ‘Pledge This!’
MIAMI (AP) — Paris Hilton should return up to $1 million she was paid for the 2006 box-offi ce bomb “Pledge Th is!” be-cause she didn’t plug the fi lm enough, an attorney for the mov-ie’s investors told a federal judge Th ursday.
The 29-year-old hotel heir-ess, actress and self-promoting businesswoman refused nine requests for print and broadcast interviews she should have given under her contract, said investor attorney Bryan West.
“We paid her $1 million, and we’re entitled to get at least a portion of that back,” West told U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno. “Part of what actors do is promote their fi lms.”
But Hilton’s attorney, Michael Weinsten, said she took part in several high-profile publicity
events – including an appear-ance at the Cannes Film Festival – and that the contract didn’t re-quire her to do interviews when she was busy on other projects.
Weinsten added that Hilton also had the right to approve or reject any proposals or off ers.
“Paris Hilton is a brand. Th at is her value, and how she makes money,” he said. “She did sub-stantial publicity.”
Hilton, who testifi ed last sum-mer at a trial over the dispute, did not attend Th ursday’s hear-ing. She said previously that al-though dissatisfi ed with the fi n-ished “Pledge This!” cut, she wanted the college sorority romp to succeed and worked hard to make that happen. Yet the fi lm only made $2.9 million.
Moreno previously rejected the investors’ eff ort to sue Hil-
ton for $8.3 million in damages, which included the $1 million she was paid for her acting and as executive producer.
But he left open the possibil-ity that she might have to repay some or all of that fee as restitu-tion if she did not fulfi ll her pub-licity obligations.
Moreno did not indicate when he would rule.
The case centers on deter-mining the value of the appear-ances Hilton did against the cost of those she rejected, which ranged from a proposed appear-ance on NBC’s “Tonight Show” to phone chats with several Brit-ish publications.
“Th e question is, what is the value of what she did do? Be-cause she did do something,” Moreno said. “How do I quan-tify it?”

NEW YORK (AP) — For the right price, some lucky Beatlemaniac will be able to own the lyrics to the fi nal song on the classic Beat-les album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
John Lennon’s handwritten lyrics to the Beatles classic “A Day in the Life” are being auc-tioned in June, Sotheby’s an-nounced on Th ursday.
Th e double-sided sheet of pa-per features Lennon’s edits and corrections in his own hand – in black felt marker and blue ball point pen, with a few annota-tions in red ink.
It is expected to fetch between $500,000 and $700,000 when it is sold in New York on June 18.
Rolling Stone magazine listed “A Day in the Life” at No. 26 in its compilation of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and “Sgt. Pep-per” won four Grammy awards in 1968.
Th e lyrics stirred controversy when the Beatles released the al-bum in 1967.
Th e song was banned by the BBC because it twice features the line, “I’d love to turn you on,” which was interpreted as sup-porting illegal drug use.
Th e song was also left off cop-ies of “Sgt. Pepper’s” sold in sev-eral Asian countries for the same reason.
Th e album’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” was alleged to have glorifi ed the use of the hal-lucinogenic LSD, a claim that bandmembers denied.
In addition, “A Day in the Life” features the lyric “he blew his mind out in a car,” which Beat-les afi cionados claim is a refer-ence to the accidental death of Tara Browne, the Guinness heir and close friend of both Lennon and Paul McCartney.
NEW YORK (AP) — Conan O’Brien says he wouldn’t have done what Jay Leno did and take back the “To-night” show.
O’Brien tells “60 Minutes” that he could not have publicly handed over the “Tonight Show” and wished his successor well, then displace him less than a year later.
He made his fi rst remarks about his acrimonious
January departure from NBC in a “60 Minutes” inter-view to be broadcast Sunday.
O’Brien says he decided to leave NBC rather than accept an off er to move back a half hour in late-night because he saw no point in giving his all to a relationship that seemed to have no future.
O’Brien has signed a contract with TBS to begin a talk show in November.

Brendan Fraser takes on nature in ‘Furry Vengeance,’ fails badly
(AP) — It’s getting diffi cult to tell Brendan Fraser’s hammy come-dies apart. Asked to explain the dif-ference between “Monkey Bone,” ‘’Bedazzled,” ‘’Journey to the Cen-ter of the Earth” and his latest, “Furry Vengeance,” I might plead for my mummy.
Fraser has built a small, dorky industry by being an exceptionally smiley fellow.
He is cheery, positive and always gives himself fully to the movie at hand – which is more than can be said for many.
In “Furry Vengeance,” he plays a father, Dan Sanders, who has moved his family from Chicago to the Oregon woods, where he hopes to please his demanding boss (Ken Jeong) by overseeing a new subur-ban housing development.
His wife (Brooke Shields) and his mopey teenage son (Matt Prokop) miss the city, and regard Dan’s ob-sessive loyalty to his boss increas-ingly skeptically.
As Dan supervises the “Rocky Springs” development, an upris-ing takes form. Th eir habitat threat-ened, the wilderness’ animals seek to frighten off the intruders. Led by a raccoon, the tiny insurgents out-wit and bedevil Dan until his san-ity begins to slip.
It’s a bit like if Alfred Hitchcock had made “Th e Birds” as a 5-year-old.
Th e cleverest thing about “Furry Vengeance” is that the com-pany Dan works for touts itself as a “green company.” In truth, it’s nothing of the sort.
They happily explode beaver dams and trample through pris-tine forest to lay down pavement and a shopping mall.
Eventually, the forest animals are locked up in a Guantanamo Bay-like prison.
Th ankfully, the movie doesn’t extend this metaphor.
Dan’s own money-hungry boss curses the pseudo environmen-talists who live green “only when convenient.”
Dan, who drives an SUV hybrid, very much falls into that category. He barely survives before learning that it’s not always easy to be eco-friendly.
Th e lesson is no coincidence: “Furry Vengeance” is produced by Participant Media, whose ear-lier fi lms include the Oscar-win-ning documentary “The Cove” and “Food Inc.,” neither of which is exactly shy about its respective message.
Th e animals here, thankfully,
aren’t talking cartoons, though they’re close.
Th e fi lm uses a mixture of CGI and real-life, trained animals – which is surely a tad hypocritical, too, for a fi lm about letting nature be.
(After all, “Th e Cove” centers on Ric O’Barry, who became an activ-ist after rebelling against the treat-ment of a dolphin for a TV show: “Flipper.”)
No animals may have been hurt in this production, but Brendan Fraser was. Th at he bothers with fi lms like this is dispiriting because of his talent, as evidenced by mov-ies like “Th e Quiet American” and “Crash.”
Those films made use of his smiley demeanor for a superfi -cial cover, not just vacant broad comedy.

West Virginia off ense still
hard to gaugeSpring football is about pro-
gression and development. Spend a few days at Mountain-eer Field and you’re sure to fre-quently hear those two words roll off the tongue of West Vir-ginia’s players and head coach Bill Stewart.
It’s also an opportunity for guys who haven’t received sig-nificant playing time to prove themselves and younger play-ers to catch up to speed.
With that being said, West Virginia concludes its spring session tonight with the an-nual Gold-Blue Spring Game, and no one is quite sure what to expect.
For one, projected starting quarterback Geno Smith will be standing on the sidelines as he recovers from a broken bone in his left foot.
That leaves Coley White to manage both offenses. White is the same guy who requested a switch to slot receiver at the end of last season.
White may still make the move to receiver, but he was unable to get a head start on learning the position because the Mountaineers’ two other scholarship quarterbacks – true freshmen Barry Brunetti and Jeremy Johnson – didn’t enroll early enough to participate dur-ing the spring.
As a result of Smith’s injury, WVU still has yet to find its of-fensive identity.
When running back Noel Devine and slot receiver Jock Sanders announced they were returning for their senior sea-sons, offensive coordinator Jeff Mullen welcomed back his two best offensive weapons.
But Smith differs from most recent Mountaineer quarter-backs in that he is known for his passing prowess and likes to stay in the pocket.
So will WVU primarily be a passing team if Smith is fully healthy in the fall, or will they rely on Devine to carry the offense?
It remains to be seen which direction Mullen chooses to go in, or if he will try to find the per-fect balance and mix in a heavy dose of runs and passes.
A few seldom used and rel-atively unknown players have made a name for themselves this spring, but there’s no way to know the impact they will have when meaningful games begin.
Running back Daquan Har-grett has stood out in the last week and runs as hard as any-body on the roster. Fullback Matt Lindamood has also dis-played his ability as a power-ful runner, although the bulk of his success has come against backup defenders.
But with Devine rightfully sure to receive the bulk of the carries, there may not be enough touches for either guy to make any noise in the fall.
Running back Jordan Rob-erts made a splash in the spring a year ago, and after receiving limited playing time in the reg-ular season, Roberts decided to transfer to the University of Charleston (W.Va.).
Those types of storylines build over the spring.
There’s also a buzz about an increased role for tight ends Tyler Urban and Will Johnson. That sounds all too familiar to what was said a year ago, and the duo combined for just 16 catches and two touchdowns.
WVU has seldom used tight ends for the last decade, and there’s no guaranteeing this pair will have a major impact in this year’s offense, despite how the constant praise both have re-ceived from the coaching staff.
While there have been some feel-good storylines this spring, it’s much more difficult for them to continue into the reg-ular season.
Everything seen tonight should be taken with a grain of salt, because it may not mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

West Virginia made some changes to its spring football practice schedule this year, but none may be more visible than tonight’s Gold-Blue Spring Game.
Th e game, which is expected to kick off at 7:25 p.m., is being held on a Friday evening for the fi rst time. Traditionally, the Moun-taineers end spring with a Satur-day spring game at a noon start time. Th e coaching staff pushed back the start of spring camp in part to allow projected starting quarterback Geno Smith time to heal his broken bone in his left foot.
“We want to try something dif-ferent this season and get under the lights and put a little spark in Morgantown,” said WVU head coach Bill Stewart prior to the spring season.
Students are admitted to the game for free with a valid WVU ID. Tickets are on sale at the gate for $5. Th ey were also sold in ad-vance throughout the week at the Mountaineer Ticket Offi ce.
“I am pretty excited,” said WVU safety Robert Sands. “It is a Friday night game underneath the lights in our own home sta-dium, so hopefully we will get a big turnout. I hope we show them what our defense has.”
WVU Director of Sports Mar-
keting Matt Wells said he is un-sure whether a larger crowd will be expected from last year’s 12,000 fans.
“It’s hard to predict,” Wells said of the attendance. “But we cer-tainly hope for a larger crowd.”
He added that a lot will depend on the weather. It is expected to be around 80 degrees and sunny at the start of the game.
“If nothing else, the later date gives you the chance to have a lit-tle better weather, which could help the crowd,” Wells said.
Having the game on a Friday night could hurt the amount of fans from outside the area trav-eling to Morgantown who have to work during the day or have other schedule confl icts.
But, Wells said, the fact the players would need to prepare for fi nals over the weekend, it was necessary to have the game on Friday. In addition, the team showed an interest in playing un-der the lights.
“It could certainly hurt the number of people from the south-ern part of the state that come up for the game,” Wells said.
Th e athletic department has tried to add activities to the fes-tivities and make it seem like an all-evening event.
Th e events include a Fan Fes-tival, autograph signing with for-mer players and a game between

Butler wins Best Male Athlete

BY BRIAN GAWTHROPASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR
Da’Sean Butler took the West Virginia men’s basketball team to places it had only been one other time in the program’s history.
In his fi nal season as a Moun-taineer, Butler led his team to the program’s fi rst 30-win sea-son and its fi rst Big East Confer-ence Championship.
His 17 points per game in his team’s fi rst four NCAA Tourna-ment games helped the Moun-taineers upset No. 1 seed Ken-tucky in the Elite Eight and clinch WVU’s second Final Four appear-ance – the program’s fi rst since 1959.
He was consistent in the clutch when his team needed him to be and was a role model. As head coach Bob Huggins has said, But-ler did everything right.
He was unanimously chosen
as Th e Daily Athenaeum Male Athlete of the Year, as voted upon by the DA Sports Staff . Butler beat out football’s Noel Devine and baseball’s Jedd Gyorko.
Butler had six game-winning shots during his senior season, including two in the Big East Tournament, and was selected to the Conference’s fi rst-team as well as earning second-team all-American honors. He was named the Big East Tournament Most Outstanding Player.
Th e Newark, N.J., native ended his career as the third-leading scorer in the program’s history and also exits in the top 20 in ca-reer assists, rebounds, 3-point-ers made, games played, minutes played and steals.

It begins at 5:30 p.m. and features infl at-
able games for fi nger paint-ing and an autograph session with former players. An Old-Timers Game featuring those former players will take place at 7 p.m. and will last for 25 minutes. Spring game format: Teams will split into two teams. The fi rst-team off ense and defense will represent the blue team. The remainder of the players will dress in white. What to watch: Projected starting quarterback Geno Smith will not play, so soph-omore Coley White will take all QB snaps. Head coach Bill Stewart said he would like to get the tight ends involved in the game. The defense returns nine starters. Starting kicker Tyler Bitancurt is out with an injury, so WVU will use a very young kicking game.

begins at 5:30 p.m. and will con-sist of infl atable games and fi n-ger painting among other things for children. Th e Fan Festival will be located in the parking lot out-side the stadium near the Ronald McDonald House. It will close at 6:30 p.m.
At 7 p.m., the Old-Timers Game will begin. It will be a simu-lated 25-minute, two-hand touch game between former Mountain-eer greats like quarterback Major Harris (1987-1989), quarterback Mike Sherwood (1968-70), quar-terback Jake Kelchner (1992-93), running back Undra Johnson
(1985-1988), running back Bob Gresham (1968-1970) and defen-sive end Re-naldo Turnbull (1986-1989).
“We just tried to add some things to add a few twists and hopefully add to the attrac-tion for fans to come to the game,” Wells said. “We just took some things that we are already doing in the normal season and incorporated that into the spring game.”
Wells said the WVU athletic de-
partment constantly looks at what other schools have done for their spring games and tries to imple-ment some of those ideas into its own plan.
However, West Virginia has been unable to create a sig-nifi cant buzz about the spring game in the past. Th is year, with the fact that Smith will not play could aff ect the amount of fans that make the trip to Morgan-town to see the fi rst sights of the 2010 team.
But, a trend has shown an in-crease in attendance at spring games across the country over the last few years.
Alabama had the highest at-tendance of any school this year with 91,300 fans. Nebraska
(77,670), Ohio State (65,223) and Penn State (55,000) followed.
Th e Big East Conference has not seen as large of an increase, though. Rutgers had a record 20,114 at its spring game, but no other school in the conference had more than 6,500.
While on a smaller scale, the trend has been seen at WVU, as well.
Last year, the 12,000 fans were the second-most in West Virginia spring game history. In 2008, the crowd reached 18,000. But, few prior to those years were over a few thousand.
“Our fans are as passionate and interested in what is going on at our football program 12 months a year,” Wells said.
He said having a smaller pop-ulation base and not being close to a large city hurts the atten-dance for the game.
FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR
After being named the Big East Conference Defensive Player of the Year along with earning a spot on the league’s second team, Sarah Miles was named the DA Female Athlete of the Year by the DA Sports staff .
Miles beat out track’s Chelsea Carrier by four points. Women’s soccer senior Carolyn Blank re-ceived the most fi rst-place votes, ending with four.
Miles was the catalyst in the women’s basketball team’s re-cord-setting year that saw the Mountaineers fi nish with a pro-gram best 29-6 record including an appearance in the Big East Championship game and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Th e point guard was one of four Mountaineers to average double-fi gure scoring on the season, fi n-ishing third with 10.1 points-per-game including a season-high 18 points in WVU’s Big East semifi -nal win over Rutgers.
Miles also reached double-fi g-ure scoring in both of her team’s NCAA Tournament games.
She led the Big East in assists, fi nishing with 5.88 per game, in-cluding ending with at least seven assists in 16 games. Th e 5-foot-7 Miles also recorded at least fi ve steals in six games.
Miles is already 10th in the program’s history in steals with 172 career takeaways. She’ll also likely fi nish within the top 10 in assists and inside the top 20 in
free-throws made.2) Chelsea Carrier, track3) Carolyn Blank, women’s

COACH OF THE YEARBob Huggins said it without
any hesitation.“If you can win our league, you
can win a national champion-ship,” WVU’s head men’s basket-ball coach said in the preseason.
Huggins nearly proved that saying right. He led his team to the program’s fi rst Big East Cham-pionship by beating Georgetown in Madison Square Garden and advanced the Mountaineers to the Final Four for only the second time in the school’s history.
In the meantime, he reminded those throughout the country why he’s one of the top colle-giate basketball coaches in the nation.
It took just three seasons for Huggins to turn WVU into a pow-erhouse in the Big East despite having just three players the coach recruited in the top seven of the lineup.
It was the winningest season in the school’s history, as the team lived up to the program’s fi rst top-10 preseason ranking, stay-ing with the nation’s top 10 for all but one week during the reg-ular season.
Th e Mountaineers were ranked as high as sixth after starting the season 11-0 before a tough loss on the road at Purdue sent the team into a rough stretch in which it lost three of fi ve.
After WVU’s loss on the road at Connecticut, a heartfelt post-game speech from Huggins ig-
nited a spark for the team as it won its next 10 games all the way to the Final Four before losing to the eventual national champion Duke.

GAME OF THE YEARIt was a game the West Virginia
men’s basketball team wasn’t supposed to win.
With three future NBA Lottery picks, including likely the best
player in the nation John Wall, No. 1 seed Kentucky entered its Elite Eight matchup with the Moun-taineers as the clear favorite.
Th e team, which was ranked No. 1 for much of the regular sea-son, was judged as bigger, faster and more talented.
But potential didn’t get the Wildcats anywhere against WVU. West Virginia took advantage of Kentucky’s youth and inexperi-ence to claim a 73-66 win and ad-vance to the program’s fi rst Final Four since 1959.
“Forty-nine states picked us to lose,” Butler said. “We wanted to make everybody upset.”
In the early going, Kentucky played up to its expectations, jumping out a seven-point lead by dominating the paint and keeping the Mountaineers cold from the fi eld.
But WVU stuck with its 1-3-1 defense and slowly the tide turned in favor of West Virginia. Behind Butler’s four 3-pointers, the Mountaineers went on a 15-9 run to take a two-point lead en-
tering the half. WVU team didn’t even hit a
fi eld goal inside the 3-point line until the second half, but the Wildcats struggled from outside the arc.
Th e Mountaineers held off a late Kentucky rally to clinch the East Regional bid to the Final Four.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — David Freese waited so long for his fi rst home run, St. Louis Cardinals pitchers were teasing him.
Th at business is out of the way after the rookie’s six-RBI day fu-eled a 10-4 victory Th ursday that sent the Atlanta Braves skidding to their ninth-straight loss.
“I put my two cents in,” Freese said. “Obviously, getting that fi rst homer is always the toughest. I was just trying not to worry about it.”
The Braves wrapped up an 0-7 trip, their fi rst winless swing of seven or more games since September 1949 when the fran-chise was located in Boston and went 0-8 in Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been on one like this,” said manager Bobby Cox. “Probably have, but it’s not going to be in our mem-ory, that’s for sure.
“It was a lousy trip. It’s been a horrible experience to endure.”
Adam Wainwright (4-1) worked six solid innings, keeping the ball down for the most part to miti-gate high swirling winds, as the Cardinals completed a four-game sweep. With Albert Pujols getting his fi rst day off , St. Louis still won its fi fth in a row and swept Atlanta for the fi rst time since 1993.
“It’s like winning a double-header, right?” said manager Tony La Russa. “Albert gets his rest and it’s a nice lineup we put out there.”
Jair Jurrjens (0-3) strained his left hamstring and lasted only one inning for Atlanta, although he was hopeful he wouldn’t miss a turn in the rotation. Jurrjens said the hamstring bothered him during warmups.
“I was cautious about it, I tried not to put so much pressure on it,” Jurrjens said. “I tried to all-arm it and it wasn’t working so well.”
Th e Braves lost 10 straight in 2006 – they can match skid Friday night at home against Houston.
“It’s probably the worst road trip ever,” said Eric Hinske. “You can’t blame it on anything. Maybe it’s good we’re doing this in April and not in September.”
Th e Braves have totaled 17 runs during their slump. Rookie Jason Heyward returned after one game on the bench and had two hits, including the fi rst homer allowed by Cardinals pitching in 10 games at home this season.
Wainwright, a fi rst-round pick of the Braves in 2000, is 5-0 with a 2.00 ERA against Atlanta in eight games. Yadier Molina helped out with two hits and two RBIs and Colby Rasmus scored four times.
Freese’s day was the biggest by a Cardinals rookie since at least 1957, when rookie qualifi cations were established, the Elias Sports Bureau said. Freese has eight RBIs the last two games, getting two RBIs Wednesday on his 27th birthday, and 14 on the season.
Th e Cardinals acquired Freese from San Diego for Jim Edmonds after 2007 and he won the third base job this spring.
Freese hit a three-run homer off the right-fi eld foul pole with two outs in the fi rst off Jurrjens, his fi rst of the year and the fi rst of his career at Busch Stadium. Freese added a three-run double off Jesse Chavez in the fi fth.
“Th at’s why I’m here, to drive in runs and score runs,” Freese said. “Th ey put me out there to do a job and that’s what I’ve got to keep thinking.”
Th e Cardinals scored in double fi gures for the fi rst time since an 11-6 opening-day victory at Cin-cinnati. Th ey last swept Atlanta in a four-game series Aug. 14-16, 1989, including a doubleheader. Th e 1993 sweep was in a three-game set.

Enourato’s dream quickly coming to an end WVU travels to Cincy for crucial Big East battle with Bearcats
WVU BASEBALL
BY BEN GAUGHANSPORTS WRITER
The West Virginia baseball team may play its most important three-game series of the season as the Mountaineers head to the road to face Cincinnati tonight to face the Bearcats at 6 p.m.
With 12 games left in the reg-ular season, the Mountaineers (18-23, 3-12 Big East Conference) come into the weekend series two games out of the eighth and fi nal conference tournament spot.
“For us to have a realistic chance to catch Cincinnati, we’ll have to win two out of three this weekend,” said WVU head coach Greg Van Zant. “We’re going to play each game like it’s the last game of the year.”
Junior pitcher Jarryd Summers will get the start Friday night and comes in with a 1-7 record and a 4.66 ERA.
“Jarryd Summers has been very consistent and gone out and competed in all of his starts,” Van Zant said.
However, the Mountaineers have struggled to score when Summers has been on the mound this year.
“I don’t think it has anything to do with us not hitting when Summers pitches,” Van Zant said. “Other than the fact that he’s been pitching our Game 1’s, we’ve been facing other team’s No. 1 pitchers. It’s just been hard for us to score runs in Game 1 of the conference games.”
Cincinnati (20-20, 5-10 Big East) comes into the series with
a 3.75 team ERA – second in the Big East.
The Mountaineers will look to continue their off ensive pro-duction from Tuesday’s win over Duquesne against the stout Cin-cinnati pitching staff .
“Our hitters have to come up with a big weekend and go out there and have great at-bats,” Van Zant said. “We have to do every-thing we can to limit the strike-outs and really fi ght for every run we can get.”
Although the Bearcats have an above-average team ERA, their overall batting average is last in the Big East at .240. In ad-dition, they have more strike-outs (300) than any team in the conference.
Th at bodes well for the Moun-taineers, as Summers leads the team with 46 strikeouts this season.
“We just have to continue to increase the number of strikes that we throw, which in turn cuts down the number of walks,” Van Zant said. “Our pitching staff is going to have to throw really well, and we’re going to have to com-pete hard in the batter’s box to have a chance to score runs.”
Every game at this point in the season is important for West Vir-ginia. Van Zant knows his team needs to fi nish the season strong if it wants to have any chance of playing postseason ball.
“We’re going to try to win these games one at a time,” Van Zant said.

Ever since West Virginia closer Chris Enourato moved to Bridgeport, W.Va., from Belts-ville, Md., when he was 8 years old, playing baseball for West Virginia University had always been something he wanted to do.
“I’ve been going to WVU foot-ball, basketball and baseball games ever since I moved to West Virginia. It was my dream to play here,” Enourato said. “So actually, getting to come play here has been a pretty awesome experience.”
That dream came true just prior to his senior year of high school when he officially com-mitted to play for West Virginia head coach Greg Van Zant. But that dream almost went away just as quickly as it had come true.
Enourato, who was also an all-state football player at Bridgeport High School, tore his ACL and MCL in the early part of the football season. Ini-tially, he thought the injury was going to cost him his baseball scholarship.
A phone conversation with Van Zant told him otherwise.
“I called coach about a week or so after to tell him what hap-pened,” Enourato said. “He told me I could keep the scholarship. When he said that, it was just a huge relief.”
He rehabbed his injury and was able to come back to play baseball for the Indians. That season he, along with current WVU teammate Jeremy Gum, led their Bridgeport team to the Regional Championship and garnered first team all-state honors.
Heading into his freshman
year at WVU, Enourato had no idea of what his role on the team would be or if he was even go-ing to have one. Just two weeks before the beginning of the sea-son, Van Zant informed his young pitcher he would be the team’s closer.
“When I was in high school I was always a starter, and I had never closed before,” Enou-rato said. “But I just took over the role, and I’ve loved doing it ever since.”
While most teams usually shy away from having a fresh-man as a closer due to the pres-sure placed on the pitcher with the game on the line, Van Zant didn’t hesitate with Enourato.
T h e p i t c h e r d i d n ’ t disappoint.
In his 29 innings pitched as a freshman, Enourato finished
with a 2-1 record with five saves and a 4.34 ERA.
He saw those numbers rise in his sophomore year when he picked up five wins and set a new career high with six saves and struck out 34 hitters in his second season.
Last year, he placed his name into the WVU record books. He picked up six saves in 2009 breaking the school record for career saves in the process.
One year later, more records and accolades continued to pile up.
He was named the top closer in the Big East by College Base-ball Insider at the beginning of the season while he set a new school record for appearances by a pitcher after his perfor-mance against Niagara March 16.
“It’s a great feeling to have your name with those records, and I think I can continue add-ing to them,” Enourato said. “But without my teammates, I wouldn’t have accomplished any of them. They had to make the plays and swing the bats to make all of those saves possible.”
After this season is over, Enourato will start getting him-self ready for the Major League Baseball Draft, which begins June 7.
“Of course, I hope I can get the chance to get drafted and play at the next level,” Enou-rato said. “But if not, I’m going to go to grad school, and I’d like to be a college baseball coach one day.”
LEANN ARTHUR/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMWest Virginia relief pitcher Chris Enourato delivers a pitch in the Mountaineers’ loss to Louisville on April 17. Enourato will end his career at WVU as the school’s all-time leader in saves and appearances.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Tyreke Evans has won hundreds of trophies in his young basket-ball career and many of them seem to have lost an arm, a bas-ketball or some other piece in his mother’s care.
Bonita Evans will have to wait to get the NBA Rookie of the Year trophy Evans won Th ursday un-til some safeguards are in place in the home he is building her in Delaware.
“She’s broken too many,” Ev-ans said. “I probably have 400 trophies and about a hundred of them broke. I’d come down-stairs and she’d try to glue them back together but it was too late. I didn’t care about it. But the main important trophies, we’re going to put them in a glass case for her.”
Evans capped his fabulous rookie year for the Sacramento Kings by beating out Golden State’s Stephen Curry and Mil-waukee’s Brandon Jennings for the coveted award.
Evans became the fourth rookie ever to average at least 20 points, fi ve rebounds and fi ve as-sists per game, joining Oscar Rob-ertson, Michael Jordan and LeB-ron James in an exclusive club.
“Th is is one of the awards I had a goal of since I came into the NBA, being rookie of the year,” Ev-ans said. “I’m proud it came true. It was one of my dreams since I was little. I fi nally had a chance for my dream to come true.”
Evans was the fourth pick in last year’s NBA draft after spend-ing one season at Memphis. Like
Chicago’s Derrick Rose a year ago, that one year at Memphis was enough to make him Rookie of the Year.
He led all rookies in scoring at 20.1 points per game, was second in assists at 5.8 per game and fi fth in rebounds at 5.3.
“After maybe the fi rst week or two in the regular season, the level of consistency that he set-tled into was just remarkable given his age and one year of ex-perience in college,” Kings pres-ident of basketball operations Geoff Petrie said. “It was just fun to watch it all unfold.”
Evans was the only rookie to appear on all 123 ballots from a media panel, getting 67 fi rst-place votes and 491 total points.
Curry was second with 43 fi rst-place votes and 391 points, with Jennings getting 12 first-place votes and 204 points. Players were awarded fi ve points for a fi rst-place vote, three for a sec-ond and one for a third.
While Jennings got off to a fast start, scoring 55 points in his sev-enth career game, and Curry fi n-ished the season with a fl ourish, Evans was consistently strong all season long.
Evans drew praise from around the league, with Kobe Bryant call-ing him a “grown man” when asked to assess the rookie race after playing Curry and Evans in successive nights in March.
Evans’ performance this sea-son brought life back to Arco Arena, where fans had grown dis-interested in recent years as the Kings struggled.
Th ere was even a rally planned at a Sacramento mall on Th urs-day night in Evans’ honor.
Evans erased any disappoint-ment from last year’s lottery, when the Kings ended up with the fourth pick in the draft de-spite having the league’s worst record.
With top pick Blake Griffin sidelined for the season for the Los Angeles Clippers with a knee injury, second pick Hasheem Th abeet spending part of the sea-son for Memphis in the NBA De-velopment League and fi fth pick Ricky Rubio staying in Europe in-stead of signing with Minnesota, there were no regrets in Sacra-mento with how the draft played out.
“I know there was a lot of real disappointment at that moment,” Petrie said. “It just shows that life is real uncertain and good things can come out of what appear to be not so good things sometimes. It all worked out.”
After a disappointing home opener when he scored only three points and didn’t make a shot from the fi eld, Evans took over the Kings after leading scorer Kevin Martin went down with an early injury.
He scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games.
Evans was remarkably con-sistent, averaging between 19.4 points and 22.1 points per game in every full month of the season.
“He’s the most consistent rookie I’ve ever seen,” coach Paul Westphal said. “There’s
nothing but a great career in Tyreke’s future. Knowing him, I know he doesn’t view this as an achievement. It’s just a start to his career.”
Curry, the son of former NBA player Dell Curry, might have been playing better than any rookie by the end of the season. He averaged 17.5 points, a rook-ie-best 5.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 steals per game for the Warriors.
But he was much better in the final three months, averaging 21.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game after Feb. 1. Th at vaulted him right into the rookie race, giving Northern California NBA fans something worthwhile to follow while the Warriors and Kings struggled through another diffi cult season.
