WVU BOG approves tuition hike

By CarlEE Lammers Managing Editor

During last week’s West Virginia University Board of Governors meeting, members approved a tuition increase for all students.

In-state undergraduate students will see a 6 percent increase of $366 per year, and out-of-state students will see a 4 percent increase of $764 per year – pending approval by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.

Graduate students will

see similar increases and housing will increase by nearly 4.5 percent.

The increase comes in lieu of the state’s decision to cut WVU and divisional campus’ funding by $13.3 million.

Other cutbacks and cost increases have created an $18 million gap the University is working to close through cost savings.

Along with tuition increases, the Board approved pay freezes for all employees, a move vice president for Administration and Fi-

However, that won’t be enough to fill the gap.

To strategically fill the hole the University will implement a two-year planning cycle “to seek input and make deliberate and strategic changes” to the University’s budget, Weese said.

Rather than make cuts across the board, each vice president will be given the

Community flocks to Dunkin’ Donuts new Sabraton location

BY Caroline Peters Staff Writer

America runs on Dunkin’. And now, so does Morgantown.

A new Dunkin’ Donuts opened Wednesday, along Earl L. Core Road in Sabraton.

The smell of sugary donuts and coffee has drawn an unexpected amount of customers.

Days after the coffee shop opened, the line stretched outside the door and eager customers waited in the parking lot. For almost 40 minutes, 10-year-old Arabella Weaver waited in line.

“My babysitter wanted to do something fun today so I asked her to bring me to Dunkin’ Donuts,” Weaver said. “We waited 39 minutes but I’ve been waiting years, so it was worth it.”

Dunkin’ Donuts manager Andrae Fykes said he was not prepared for the amount of customers the shop has received.

“We were not anticipating this many customers but we truly appreciate it,” Fykes said. “The rush of customers has actually led us to hire more people but as long as the customers are happy, Dunkin’ Donuts is happy.”

Margaret Phillips, vice president for Human Resources at West Virginia University, has recently received the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources’ 2013 national award Excellence in Human Resource Practices.

This award honors the achievements of college and university HR professionals for improving the quality of programs and services on their campuses through effective HR administration practices.

“I am both honored and humbled to receive this award on behalf of the WVU Division of Human Resources,” Phillips said.

Phillips was first recognized with CUPAHR’s Southern Region award as a prerequisite for the national award.

CUPA-HR has more than 16,000 HR professionals and other campus leaders from more than 1,900 member organizations.

University President James P. Clements called Phillips “a leader with integrity, vision and enormous dedication. She has surrounded herself with a great team and together they consistently produce results that add value for our employees.”

“Margie has a track record of meaningful success,” he said.

Philips came to WVU in 1982 as a compensation analyst and served in

various positions before being named the firstever vice president of human resources in 2006.

The nomination states that Philips “has overseen a total reorganization of the division and transformed the University’s human resource delivery from top to bottom, with multiple new programs ranging from recruitment to retirement, from wellness to training, and from performance management to job satisfaction.”

“Margaret has raised the appreciation of human resources throughout the University community, across all classes of employees, and among all constituents,” said Patricia Gyurke, WVU’s senior adviser for HR strategic initiatives. “She not only championed HR at the highest levels of the institution, but also brought others on board to help WVU understand that a strong and viable HR division is a key element to the overall success of the university.”

Human Resources is an integral department at WVU which has had many accomplishments in the past several years, including: a new Mountaineer Leadership Academy, a new compensation structure for employees in the non-classified category and a new salary schedule for classified staff, an employee wellness program, a new student

The Morgantown Farmers Market is up and running for the summer and is offering members of the community a taste of hometown flavor.

Each Saturday morning Downtown Morgantown offers a shopping experience for fresh produce, meats, eggs, breads, all locally grown.

In the past year, the market has introduced several new features to amplify patrons’ experiences.

The biggest addition to the

market was the construction of the pavilion on Spruce St. last year.

The pavilion was a great addition to the market, according to market manager Lisa Lagana.

This spring solar panels were added to the roof of the pavilion.

The solar panels were donated by The Mountain Institute, and Lagana said there are plans to install more.

This addition will save the city a tremendous amount of money on electricity and will also support sustainable energy, she said.

The Morgantown Farmers Market has also added 11 new vendors

“Our peak season is in July,” Lagana said. “We are really looking forward to the blueberries that will be coming then.”

Another new feature of the market is that it is not limited to cash transactions.

Shoppers can stop at the market booth and swipe their debit or credit card to receive “market bucks.”

The tokens come in $1 and $5 amounts and can be spent at almost every vendor. They can also be purchased with Electronic Benefits Transfer cards (formerly called food stamps), so that lower income families have the opportunity to shop at the market.

Lagana said she has also been working on creating a schedule of non-profit organizations to come to the

market each week and provide education and entertainment for shoppers.

“We would like to start incorporating a healthy lifestyle theme into these education sessions,” she said.

Belly dancing instructors and yoga instructors have already been booked to teach mini-lessons at the market, and Lagana said encourages any other fitness experts who would be willing to share their time to contact her.

Morning-after pill appeal officially on hold NEW YORK (AP) — The Obama administration’s appeal in the legal fight over morning-after pills has been officially put on hold until a judge weighs a new plan to allow girls of all ages to buy the contraceptives without a prescription, according to a government letter filed Tuesday.

Lawyers with the Department of Justice and those for the plaintiffs who sued over the issue told the clerk for the federal appeals court in Manhattan that they wanted to suspend the appeals case until they hear again from U.S. District Court Judge Edward

Korman, U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said in the letter.

The government had appealed the judge’s underlying April 5 ruling, which ordered emergency contraceptives based on the hormone levonorgestrel be made available without a prescription, over the counter and without point-of-sale or age restrictions.

But on Monday, the Department of Justice notified him that it was reversing course and seeking prompt Food and Drug Administration approval of all-age sales — an announcement that

judge would address the issue. A woman answering the phone in his chambers on Tuesday declined to comment.

The government had originally asked the judge to suspend the effect of that ruling until the appeals court could decide the case. But the judge declined, saying the government’s decision to restrict sales of the morning-after pill was “politically motivated, scientifically unjustified and contrary to agency precedent.” He also said there was no basis to deny the request to make the drugs widely

available.

The government had argued that “substantial market confusion” could result if the judge’s ruling were enforced while appeals were pending, only to be later overturned.

Last week, an appeals court dealt the government a setback by saying it would immediately permit unrestricted sales of the two-pill version of the emergency contraception until the appeal was decided.

The morning-after pill contains a higher dose of the female hormone progestin than is in regular birth control pills.

Taking it within 72 hours of

rape, condom failure or just forgetting regular contraception can cut the chances of pregnancy by up to 89 percent, but it works best within the first 24 hours. If a girl or woman already is pregnant, the pill, which prevents ovulation or fertilization of an egg, has no effect.

The FDA was preparing in 2011 to allow over-the-counter sales of the morning-after pill with no limits when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius overruled her own scientists in an unprecedented move.

According to the University, even with tuition increases WVU’s in-state tuition is more than $3,000 less than the average of its HEPC peers, and about half the average of some of its regional competitors.

While the University recognizes the financial burden the tuition increase may cause on students, Weese said the University will continue to increase undergraduate scholarship funds at the same pace as tuition.

June’s must-see movies hit the big screen

Celeste Lantz COPY Desk Chief

This Is The End Directed by: Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogan Release date: June 12 This new comedy could go either way, with a cast full of cameo appearances of other famous actors and comedians. The premise of the movie is simple enough: trying to survive a zombie apocalypse while holed up in Franco’s abode, but the thing that makes this movie special is the entire cast playing themselves.

Among some of these recognizable names are Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jonah Hill, but there are also appearances by Mindy Ka-

ling, Emma Watson, Channing Tatum, Rihanna and Paul Rudd.

It seems to have been a busy year for Emma Watson and Channing Tatum, both acting in The Bling Ring and White House Down, respectively.

This Is The End was based on a short film created in 2007 by Rogan and Baruchel named “Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse.”

Evan Goldberg, the film’s director, said in an interview with The Guardian that the premise of the film was based on America’s obsession with reality T.V. and how they want to watch something that is real.

If you’re already a fan of these comedians and you loved “Pineapple Express” and “Superbad,” you should

probably add this film to your repertoire, as well.

The Bling Ring Directed by: Sofia Coppola Release date: June 21 Sofia Coppola, daughter of Francis Ford Coppola (“The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now”) and director of “Marie Antoinette” with Kirsten Dunst, comes back to direct “The Bling Ring,” a movie based on real events and adapted from a Vanity Fair article, “The Suspect Wore Louboutins.”

“The Bling Ring,” an American/British crimedrama, features Emma Watson, Leslie Mann and newcomer Taissa Farmiga. The film follows a group of fameobsessed teens, the Bling Ring, who use the Internet and other tracking tools to

track the whereabouts of various celebrities to break into their homes.

The real-life group broke into the homes of Audrina Partridge, Lindsay Lohan, Megan Fox and Orlando Bloom between 2008 and 2009. The suspects vandalized the homes, stole clothes and jewelry and spent their money at the same clubs where the celebrities were known to frequent.

For a movie that envelopes American culture so fully - an obsession with fame and the steps people will take to get there the cast promises to deliver both drama and comedy.

This is one you’ll kick yourself for missing.

Monsters University Directed by: Dan Scanlon Release date: June 21

Our favorite monsters return - this time as college students. “Monsters University” introduces Mike (Billy Crystal) and Sulley (John Goodman) for the first time, essentially as bitter enemies.

As Henry Barnes from “The Guardian” states, “There are some Pixar films you just don’t touch.”

However, it seems Pixar has made “Monsters, Inc.” the one exception. Reviewers say the film stays as true to the first as possible and introduces a number of laughs.

The film’s plot revolves around Mike and Sulley’s personality differences.

Mike is driven and serious and Sulley, as we know, is big, brawny and playful.

Both are majoring in “scar-

ing” and join the same fraternities. They have the same arguments we see in the first movie as they disagree about what to do with Boo. However, due to the odd choice of setting (a university), “Monsters University” isn’t just a film for children. Many of the situations such as frat parties, the feature “trash” chugging and piles of monsters strikingly similar to orgies go over the heads of children and appeal to the older crowd chaperoning them.

If you were ever a fan of the dynamic duo or need to take your respective little ones out for a show, “Monsters University” is the way to go. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘The Purge’ lacks subtlety, finesse; fails to impress Carol Fox A&E Writer

“The Purge,” which made its way to theaters Friday, has an interesting (though not innovative) premise – any and all crime is legal for 12 consecutive hours once a year, during which American citizens are free to do what they wish to one another or themselves without fear of emergency or medical intervention. However, the movie ultimately falters under the weight of cumbersome issues it isn’t prepared to tackle in 85 minutes.

The movie begins 62 minutes from the commencement of the Purge, and we’re introduced to the Sandins having a family dinner – in this dystopia, the nuclear family somehow manages to survive.

They seem like the average American family – except for the fact they are ridiculously wealthy (like, they have an arcade in their home wealthy). The patriarch of the family, James Sandin (played by a drippingly sentimental Ethan Hawke) has made a fortune selling high-end, high-security defense systems to protect (wealthy) families from would-be Purgers.

At the dinner table, we get a sense of just how much the Purge has invaded the consciousness of Americans. It is almost yawningly a part of their routine, but there is something a little off about their preparations. Though we’re not sure what yet, something foreboding lies beneath each scene.

Soon after locking down for the Purge, Charlie Sandin, the son (played by “Parenthood”’s Max Burk-

holder), hears a man running through the neighborhood pleading for help. The son disables the home’s security features to let the man in. Though the Sandins are afraid this man is a hunter, it turns out he is the prey.

His pursuers are a Manson Family-esque group equipped with a charismatic leader and girls with long hair and billowy dresses. The leader uses one-line witticisms, like “We aim to violate, annihilate and cleanse our souls,” and “Wanting is our will this fine night.”

The leader of this group offers one of the most interesting characters in the film.

Played by Rhys Wakefield, he is an eloquent psychopath with John Travolta’s smile and a nihilistic disposition. He is beautiful and sinister in a kisses-his-victims-on-the-head way, and

he is effective in his creepiness down to his exacting blinks.

The group of psychopaths tells the Sandins they must return their prey, or they’ll all be killed, and the rest of the movie shows us what the Sandins decide to do.

The filmmakers try to offer us an unexpected ending, but that turns into multiple twists, and you’re simply left feeling exhausted and dissatisfied by the plot knot. “The Purge” doesn’t offer any closure or catharsis like the Purge (the day) promises.

The film seems to want to say something about class relations, violence in America and extremism. And almost immediately, we are inundated with cliche philosophical dilemmas. Like, are humans naturally aggressive, violent people? If so, do we need catharsis?

‘Now You See Me’ leaves room for sequel

Also, the film has an odd anti-Christian sentiment.

Rather than offer questions for pondering, the audience is left with myriad tangential questions. Why do we sneer at Christians so readily in this alternate reality? Why has this dystopia fostered an even greater level of racism and classism? Essentially the film tries to tackle too much in too little time.

There are problems other than the film’s inability to flesh out its own philosophy. All of the shots are a little too tight, which is dizzyingly uncomfortable. Also, the music was too intense and heightened the suspense of what would otherwise be mundane moments.

Actress Lena Headey, who plays the mother, Mary, is almost good, but she’s certainly been better in other roles. She plays a

chilling Cersei Lannister on “Game of Thrones,” but fails at being a caring suburban housewife.

If anything, this film just recycles tired suburban beliefs – “things like this aren’t supposed to happen in our neighborhood,” “the enemy is all around,” “beware the unknown.” It might have been interesting to watch how quickly the ‘average’ family turns into ravenous torturers, but that wasn’t the case. It seems there was no real work done by the filmmakers; they just decided to throw a bunch of tropes up to see what stuck, and not much did.

Overall, it was an interesting idea, but it lacked subtlety and finesse, and even an interesting story can’t mitigate a heavy hand. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Thadeus (Morgan Freeman) displays impressive magic during the film.

Carolyn Kinnear A&E WRITER

As soon as I saw the trailer for “Now You See Me,” I knew this was one movie I had to see. The biggest draw for me was the original script, which is incredibly refreshing with what’s been coming out of Hollywood lately. Another reason I wanted to see this was simply because it looked fun and entertaining. It did not disappoint.

Everything from the beginning of the movie was great. The story starts out by introducing the magicians that would eventually become the Four Horsemen.

The Four Horsemen include Daniel (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt (Woody Harrelson), Henley (Isla Fisher) and Jack (Dave Franco).

These magicians were brought together to perform

incredible magic tricks that had never before been seen.

Most of these tricks involve levitation, disappearing and, oh yeah, robbing a bank from across an ocean. All of the money they steal, they give to the public, never keeping any for themselves.

Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) is the officer in charge of the investigation, but somehow, even with the help of exmagician Thaddeus (Morgan Freeman), the Four Horsemen always manage to stay several steps ahead of him.

This cast is clearly heavy in big names. In addition to the actors already mentioned, the amazing Michael Caine and Melanie Laurent frequent the screen.

While I was impressed with everyone’s performance, I really enjoyed watching Eisenberg and Harrelson’s interations. This is the second time that they have acted on screen together; they first

came together on the set of “Zombieland.”

Franco is also busy showing the world that he is just as good of an actor as his brother James. We have been seeing the younger Franco in a lot of movies lately, most recently “Warm Bodies” and “21 Jump Street.”

Fisher is a name that’s been around for a few years now. There are a lot of men in this cast, but she was able to hold her own against every single one.

My favorite performance in the movie has to go to Ruffalo. He is known for doing a lot of independent movies, and I’m glad he is starting to get cast in some bigger films. He is an amazing actor, and this movie shows that he should not be ignored for future studio films.

Other than the actors and their performances in “Now You See Me,” one of the things that kept this movie

entertaining were the quick cuts from scene to scene. As soon as the scene was starting to slow down, it would cut to a new one. Because of this, I can say that there were hardly any slow parts in the movie.

One of the complaints that others have had about this movie is that the ending was left too open-ended.

However, some have argued the reason behind this is because they might make a second movie. If this is the case, bring it on. I would love to see another one of these movies.

I would strongly recommend this movie to anyone looking for something fun to watch. This movie would appeal to both men and women, young and old or anyone looking for a movie that is worth both your time and your money. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Security and freedom: mutually exclusive?

ap

President Barack Obama speaks about immigration reform, Tuesday.

Over the past week, revelations of a top-secret National Security Agency program ominously named “PRISM,” reignited an everlasting debate on the balance between security and liberty.

On one side, the Obama Administration and other anti-terror hawks vehemently defended the government’s right to surveil its citizenry in the name of protecting them. On the other, many Americans wary of the expanding powers the federal government is giving itself in the name of national security assert the program is the latest infringement on the civil liberties of Americans.

Although it is hardly surprising that President Obama, who was recently criticized for snooping on

journalists in an attempt to go after leakers and who believes he has the power to kill American citizens suspected of terrorism without due process, claims the government has the authority to carry out this mass surveillance program, it is outrageous when compared to his comments as a candidate in 2008.

At the time, President Obama, a former constitutional law professor, claimed his election would lead to the rollback of the unconstitutional excesses of President Bush’s relentless “War on Terror.” Obama specifically decried the controversies over the Bush Administration’s involvement in warrantless wiretapping as an infringement on basic liberty. Fast

forward five years, and President Obama is in charge of a surveillance program that can be used to monitor communications through a variety of mediums, including social media and telephones.

According to information obtained by The Guardian, the government has been sifting through millions of e-mails, listening to phone calls, and monitoring online activity under the auspices of PRISM for the past several years.

The notion that the privacy of all Americans should be compromised in the name of this never-ending “War on Terror” is as ridiculous as it is illegal. The Constitution’s Fourth Amendment unambiguously guards against “unreasonable searches

and seizures.”Surely, the founders would have held that the government eavesdropping on our most private communications would qualify as “unreasonable.”

As with all powers the government adopts, they only tend to snowball and become more expansive as time passes.

The American people must stand up against this egregious violation of their rights.

We leave you with these wise words uttered by Benjamin Franklin: “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

OP-ED COMMENTARY

Joe Manchin’s disappointing stand against students

KIRK AUVIL columnist

I have written previously in this space about the weight we should place on politicians’ decisions regarding student loans. During the 2012 election, I discussed how Romney and Obama’s respective policies would affect students financially. But now is a bleak time for students’ financial futures, largely due to Senate Republicans who are doing their best “Snidely Whiplash” impressions by prioritizing corporate profits over students.

But right wingers say the Republicans proposed a bill and the Dems rejected it out-of-hand. Obama said he would veto the bill, even if it made its way through Congress. What kind of partisan villains would do such a thing?

The problem is the Republicans’ bill can only be described as intensely stupid. It would have combatted the financial burden of higher interest rates on students by tying the student loan rate to market-based rates, also known as higher interest rates. In the short term it seems like a good plan, but as time marches on, rates would hike and students would be suffering interest rates around double the 3.4 percent interest rate they enjoy today.

I’m glad that Senate Republicans finally found it in their hearts to propose a bill instead of just filibustering everything under the

UCLA students protest a tuition hike. sun, but they may want to make sure that their bill isn’t achieving the opposite of its stated goals next time. Such an act leaves us with only two possible conclusions.

One, Senate Republicans are incredibly incompetent and do not understand how their bill actually work. Or two, these senators are venomously disingenuous and simply wanted to create a paper tiger so they could run crying to the media to flog Senate Dems for “failing to be nonpartisan.”

Sadly enough, Obama’s own solution to the student loan rate hike was similar to the Republicans’ plan, including ties to market rates and an eventual loan rate

npr

that would nearly double the current rate. The poor man is just collapsing under the weight of his own shattered convictions at this point.

It really begs the question, whose side is Obama on?

He doesn’t back the Democrats’ bill which would keep student loan rates at their current 3.4 percent. He said he’d veto the Republican bill if it made it onto his desk, despite the fact it shared similarities with his own measure. What is he doing?

But the unkindest cut of all did not come from the predictably scurrilous Republicans. It didn’t even come from Democrats’ spineless and often traitor-

ous leadership. No, it came from our state’s very own Sen. Joe Manchin. He was the only Democrat to vote against the Democrats’ bill, which would have locked in the current student loan interest rate for another two years. So now we have a few questions to ask ourselves.

It’s fair to say that many students at WVU supported Manchin during the 2012 election. He carried Monongalia County despite the fact that it is John Raese’s dark throne of power. The WVU Young Democrats endorsed him. He spoke at WVU. Obviously he was courting the student vote. So, for him to turn around and betray his constituency by vot-

ing against a bill to protect them from rate hikes is just despicable.

“It’s only common sense to keep higher education affordable so that we can train our students for the jobs of the future and can effectively compete around the world,” according to Manchin’s website.

He goes on to say that he wants to find a long-term solution rather than to extend the current 3.4 percent interest rate for another two years.

So to review, he believes that education is important, he courts the student vote, and then he throws the baby out with the bathwater by refusing to pass a

stopgap measure because it’s not as appealing to him as a hypothetical measure which would have possibly satisfied his criteria for a solution more thoroughly than the one that he voted against.

As students, we should all show our appreciation for Manchin’s tireless championing of our causes by voting him out of office next election. We’ll be doing him a favor by granting him early retirement, and the man works so hard to undercut the people who supported him that I am quite certain he’s extremely tired by now.

He deserves a break, and we are just the people to give it to him.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Try not to push yourself too hard. If you suddenly find that your feelings are hurt, stop and detach. You could be emotionally vulnerable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others seek you out, and you might have some difficulty juggling all the different demands that land on your shoulders. A child or new love interest could be on the verge of throwing a tantrum if he or she doesn’t get what he or she wants.

Tonight: Among the crowds.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be easily irritated, and that frustration might come out in your interactions with those who are close to you. Take a deep breath. Indulge yourself, and buy a new item or two for your wardrobe. Consider taking a walk if that’s what it takes. Tonight: Run an errand or two.

Don McLean thrills Creative Arts Center

BY SHAWNEE MORAN A&E WRITER

Don McLean, a folk-rock singer-songwriter known for his famous song “American Pie,” entertained a large crowd at the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center on Saturday.

Hopeful, last-minute fans lined up at the CAC box office before the show to purchase a ticket for the concert. Other audience members waited patiently in the hallways of the CAC, eagerly anticipating the start of the show.

“I’m looking forward to ‘American Pie’ and ‘Vincent (Starry Starry Night),’” said audience member Gary Wiles before the show. “I’ve been a fan of his ever since I realized that he sang ‘American Pie.’ That’s when it all started for me.”

Charlie Moran was also excited to see McLean perform.

“His album was the first album I ever bought, back when I was in fourth grade,” Moran said. “It’s re-

ally awesome that I get to see him now.”

As the audience members settled into their seats, the lights dimmed and band members stepped onto the stage.

The room filled with applause and only got louder as Don McLean made his entrance.

He thanked the audience for coming and promised them a long, fantastic concert.

“We’re going to sing so many songs tonight that you’re going to be sick of them,” McLean joked.

With his soothing voice and hypnagogic melodies, the majority of the audience’s favorite songs were McLean’s beautiful, lyrical ballads. Audience members cheered McLean on as he hit high notes effortlessly in songs such as “Crying.”

“If We Try” and “Empty Chairs” deeply affected many audience members as they wiped away tears beginning to form in the corners of their eyes.

McLean also played a

variety of fast, upbeat rock ‘n’ roll -inspired songs.

Many audience members clapped their hands or tapped their feet in time with the music. The audience’s favorite upbeat songs included “La La Love You,” “Tulsa Time,” “Addicted to Black” and of course, “American Pie.” Don McLean saved the best for last as he closed the concert with his hit song, “American Pie”. As soon as he played the first chord, audience members howled with excitement and a thunderous applause filled the room.

McLean encouraged audience members to sing and clap along with him as he played. The house lights gradually lifted and many people stood up; several people started to dance in the aisles as the music started getting faster.

After the nine minute song had ended, audience members continued to cheer. McLean began to play the song once more after the audience cheered him on. For his encore,

McLean performed the much awaited songs, “Vincent (Starry Starry Night)” and “Wonderful World”.

After the concert, many audience members rushed to the lobby where McLean was to sign autographs.

Dave Guillory, first in line, talked about the concert as he waited excitedly for McLean to appear once again.

“I thought the concert was awesome. I’ve been a fan of his for about 40 years now, since my seventh birthday actually,” Guillory said. “This was a realization of a life-long dream to see him.”

George Drennen, another huge fan of McLean, also enjoyed the concert.

“The concert was absolutely unbelievable,” Drennen said. “It was one of the best concerts that I’ve ever been to.”

Audience members left with an autograph of the iconic singer and “American Pie” stuck in their head. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘The Addams Family’ musical to bring kooky family to life

blogspot.com

The cast of ‘The Addams Family’ performs their musical.

BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR

One of America’s favorite families, “The Addams Family,” will bring their national tour to the Creative Arts Center Sunday as the last show in the 2012-13 University Art Series.

Gomez, Morticia, Uncle Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and Lurch will come to life on stage and

bring with them a musical comedy everyone will enjoy.

The musical features an original story about Wednesday, her new, “normal” boyfriend and the family’s reaction, according to West Virginia University Arts & Entertainment public relations specialist David Ryan.

“With the tour stopping in Morgantown on Father’s Day, what’s a more appropriate tale?” Ryan said. “Gomez

has to not only cope with the startling revelation but also how their family will react to him.”

This musical about the kooky family began in March 2010 and ran through December 2011, becoming one of Broadway’s biggest hits.

Created by authors Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa, choreographer Sergio Trujillo, award-

winning director/designers Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch and with production supervision by fourtime Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks, this is one show you won’t want to miss.

“The Addams Family is not your normal family,” Ryan said. “If you’ve seen the sitcom or the movies you know how deliciously offbeat they are and how important family is to them.”

Although creepy and weird, the family is always filled with love and warmth.

Charles Addams created several thousand cartoons, sketches and drawings throughout his career, which spanned six decades, but his creation of The Addams Family brought his greatest acclaim.

“The show promises to be a hilarious night and another chance to join this incredi-

bly weird world created by Charles Addams,” Ryan said.

“The Addams Family” is set to begin Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $44-$55 depending on seat location and are discounted for WVU students. Tickets can be purchased at the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box offices or online at www.ticketmaster.com. lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

M.T. Pockets hosts 10-minute play festival, showcases local talent

BY SHAWNEE MORAN A&E WRITER

M.T. Pockets Theatre Company successfully hosted the first half of their 10-Minute Play Festival this weekend with the help of supportive audience members.

The 10-Minute Play Festival, inspired by the New Works Festival, was created to give more playwrights an opportunity to workshop their material in a positive, friendly environment. In turn, this festival also created many different opportunities within the local community for directors and actors.

The plays, as the title of the festival suggests, were limited to ten minutes each.

“We decided to limit it to ten-minute plays because it is imperative for playwrights to workshop their plays and

seeing them on their feet actually being performed is a great way for them to see if their vision is coming to fruition as they expected,” said Toni Morris, founding art director of M.T. Pockets.

In order to compensate for the overwhelming amount of entries that piled in from all over the world, the M.T. Pockets committee decided to extend the festival to two weekends, instead of one. After careful consideration and meticulous planning, the committee narrowed down the entries to include a diverse array of genres, topics and a balance of local and foreign plays.

The first weekend of the 10-Minute Play Festival focused solely on local plays.

As the seats in the intimate theater began filling up, audience members chatted excitedly with one another

about who they were there to see and what plays they wanted to see.

In no time, actors took the stage with confidence, knowing they had the support of family members, close friends and fellow actors who were watching in the audience. Local playwrights, also scattered in the audience, watched proudly as their work was brought to life for the first time. It was clear through the performances the directors and actors had put in a great deal of time and effort to make sure the evening was perfect.

Ben Adducchio, who performed a flawless Russian accent in “Say Hi To Mick Jagger,” written by David Beach, clearly spent a great deal of time making the accent as authentic as possible.

“I was really lucky,” said

Adducchio. “I got to meet with someone who lives in Morgantown from Russia.

I started talking to her and showed her the script, and she read some lines with her accent, and then I did it. It turns out that she found a lot of the things that I was doing wrong and helped me with it.”

From a broad variety of issues ranging from gun control to relationships, the plays were as varied as the people who wrote them.

Through brilliant writing and flawless dialogue, the content of the plays reflected the creativity of each writer.

Recent and past events, relationships, literature and even social media influenced the festival.

“White’s Room,” written

by Sean Bonnette, was influenced by a class exercise in 1997. This exercise about

characters waking up in a white room with a forgotten memory. This event inspired Bonnette to adapt the exercise into a play for the festival.

David Beach’s “Say Hi To Mick Jagger” was based on the life and death of Andrei Berezhkov. The 10-minute play focused on when Berezhkov, son of the Soviet cultural minister in Washington, tried to defect. It also focused on the devastating aftermath of the event.

“I was living in Washington, D.C. back in the ‘80s, and I saw Andrei Berezhkov on the news,” Beach said. “I can’t identify what it was, but it touched me in some way and I wondered for years what happened to him. Ten years later I read an article in the Washington Post where he had been killed, and a bit of me

broke. It stayed with me all the time and I knew I had to write about this.”

“Anatomy” by Tracy Turner was a lighthearted play inspired by social media about relationships.

Turner knew that she wanted to write something for the festival and found her inspiration from a comment on Facebook one day.

“It seemed like a relatable topic and I’ve been in enough relationships to know enough about relationship dynamics,” Turner said. “I was really happy with the actors, they were fantastic”.

The festival continues Friday and Saturday at 8:00 p.m. at M.T. Pockets. For more information on ticket prices and reservations, visit their website at www. mtpocketstheatre.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

SPORTS WVU has five go in MLB draft 7

Wednesday June 12, 2013

by michael carvelli sports editor

After not having anyone taken in last year’s Major League Baseball first-year player draft, the West Virginia baseball team saw four current players – and one future Mountaineer – selected by MLB teams in the 2013 draft.

All five players were selected on the final day of the three-day draft.

“I’d like to congratulate all of the draftees as it is a great honor in itself,” said West Virginia head coach Randy Mazey in a press release. “It is the sign of a good program when that many underclassmen get drafted in one season.”

Juniors Ryan Tuntland, Sean

Carley and Ryan McBroom and redshirt sophomore Harrison Musgrave, as well as incoming freshman Dmitri Casas were the Mountaineers selected.

Tuntland was taken in the 29th round with the 882ndoverall pick by the San Francisco Giants. The junior third baseman hit .325 with three home runs and 36 runs batted in during the Mountaineers’ 2013 campaign.

Musgrave went in the 33rd round to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Bridgeport, W.Va., native was named the Big 12 Conference’s Pitcher of the Year in 2013 after finishing with a 9-1 record with a 2.17 earned run average in 95.1 innings.

Quarterback Clint Trickett transferred to West Virginia from Florida State this spring. He will be eligible to play this season.

WVU quarterback competition could lead to more transfers doug walp sports WRITER

A little less than a month ago, freshman quarterback Chavas Rawlins’s high school coach Andy Pacak announced the three-star recruit who enrolled early at West Virginia University would be transferring to another school.

Pacak first told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the decision was ultimately based on the departure of former Mountaineer quarterbacks coach Jake Spatival, who had played a major part in Rawlins’s recruitment but left for a co-offensive coordinator position at Texas A&M this offseason.

Still, the fact Rawlins’s decision came just weeks after former Seminole Clint Trickett’s highly-documented transfer to WVU was coincidental timing to say the least, making it difficult not to acknowledge at least a minor correlation between the two.

But Trickett’s fairly sudden landing in Morgantown will more than likely end up playing a role in pushing more than just Rawlins out when all is said and done – in fact, in my opinion it practically dictates that either junior Paul Millard or redshirt freshman Ford Childress will not finish out their collegiate careers at WVU. Rewind just a couple of months back to spring camp where both Millard and Childress were quite literally neck-and-neck for the starting quarterback job for the Mountaineers in 2013. Both teammates respected their competitor, but ultimately felt the job was theirs for the taking.

But now, Trickett’s arrival

has thrown a wrench into the entire operation.

On the one hand, it’s actually a nice addition for West Virginia, because throwing a fairly battle tested-player into an already heated quarterback competition is only going to raise the level of play at the position when the Mountaineers finally hit the field to open up the 2013 season.

But look at it from a different perspective and the quarterback battle becomes a bit more convoluted. Obviously, both Millard and Childress both still firmly expect to be WVU’s starter come September, but the fact of the matter now is that it’s probably more of an all-or-nothing type situation for both players.

Because although both players are obviously much more familiar with Holgorsen’s offensive schemes, Trickett’s actual game experience gives him a marginally better chance to land at least the backup job for the Mountaineers. That means even in the best-case scenario in which either Childress or Millard actually wins the starting job outright, their counterpart would likely have to settle for the third-string job.

Now, I’m not discounting either player’s dedication or loyalty to the team, but it would be fairly surprising for either player to go from being the potential starter for a Division I team in the Big 12 conference to a third-string role within the team. It would be much more likely that the third wheel in the quarterback battle ends up pursuing a role with another, perhaps smaller, school.

The problem is, with Trickett’s late arrival into the post-spring practices

Carley was the third West Virginia player to go off the board this season when San Diego Padres chose him with the No. 1,018 pick. He sat out last season due to NCAA rules after transferring to WVU from Air Force.

Both Musgrave and Carley have said that they will be back for the 2014 season.

football opponent preview

WVU to get early-season test vs. Oklahoma by amit batra sports writer

The West Virginia football team will take its inaugural trip to Norman, Okla., when the Mountaineers face the Oklahoma Sooners Sept. 7 at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

The game, scheduled for 7 p.m. and set to be televised on Fox Network, will be an early test for a newlook WVU team following a disappointing inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference. West Virginia opens its season Aug. 31 against William & Mary before its second meeting with OU as a member of the Big 12.

The contest marks the Mountaineers’ first road game at Oklahoma since 1982. The two schools will face each other for the sixth time, with the Sooners leading the head-to-head, 3-2.

In the initial conference game between West Vir-

ginia and No. 12 Oklahoma last season, the Sooners came away with a 50-49 win in Morgantown Nov. 17.

In 2013, OU will see some difficult competition as it will face non-conference foes in Louisiana Monroe (8-5 in 2012) and Tulsa (11-3 in 2012) in Norman.

The Sooners will also face Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., Sept. 28. OU travels to Notre Dame for the first time since 1999.

With the exception of the Kansas Jayhawks, all of the Sooners’ opponents reached a bowl game a season ago. In conference play, Oklahoma will see WVU, TCU, Texas Tech and Iowa State at home, while it travels to Kansas, Baylor, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Oklahoma will face Texas in neutral territory, as the two rivals will meet in Dallas.

Oklahoma’s 2013 opponents had a combined 9660 record in 2012. Only two

teams OU will play in 2013 didn’t see a national ranking at least once in the AP or USA Today poll during the 2012 season.

“We came to Oklahoma because we knew we’d get the opportunity to compete against the very best and win championships,” said All-Big 12 center Gabe Ikard following the release of the 2013 schedule.

Ikard understands the importance of the daunting schedule, and he also sees it as a chance for the Oklahoma program to grow and the opportunity at hand.

“Every week is going to be a challenge,” he said.

“I know our fans will be excited to cheer us on, whether we’re at home, in the Red River Rivalry or on the road. Every game is big, but opening our Big 12 season at home against West Virginia is a fantastic opportunity.

“Additionally, the chance to play Notre Dame in South

Bend is important to our players and our fans. Finishing the regular season with games at Kansas State and at Oklahoma State will be exciting, as well. We look forward to a great season.”

With former Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones gone, the race for a starting QB is still open between redshirt junior Blake Bell, redshirt sophomore Kendal Thompson and redshirt freshman Trevor Knight.

Bell, used mainly as a goalline specialist with his 6-foot-6, 263-pound build, could get the nod to become a starter with Jones’ departure.

Also returning for the Sooners will be senior wide receiver Jalen Saunders.

Saunders played in nine games in 2012, starting in eight of those contests. He led the team in receiving yards per game and he also ranked No. 3 in receptions. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Golf history for Tiger Woods is all about success

AP

Tiger Woods talks with a coach on the practice green during practice for the U.S. Open golf tournament at Merion Golf Club on Tuesday.

ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — The photo of Ben Hogan hitting his 1-iron into the 18th green at Merion in the 1950 U.S. Open is among the most famous in golf history, capturing the pure swing one of the greatest players when the pressure of a major championship was at its peak.

Instead of marveling at the swing, Woods thought more about the results.

“That was to get into a playoff,” Woods said Tuesday, sounding more like a golf historian than the No. 1 player in the game.

“Got about 40 feet and still had some work to do. It’s a great photo. But it would have been an all right photo if he didn’t win. He still had to go out and win it the next day.”

Hogan managed to lag the long putt to about 4 feet and quickly knocked that in for his par to join a three-way playoff, which he won the next day over Lloyd Mangrum and Tom Fazio. Of his four U.S. Open titles, that meant the most to Hogan because he proved he could win just 16 months after a horrific car accident that nearly killed him. On battered legs, Hogan had to play the 36-hole final, followed by the 18hole playoff.

“Knowing the fact that he went through the accident and then came out here and played 36 and 18, that’s awfully impressive,” Woods said.

In some small way, Woods can relate.

Five years ago, Woods tried to play the U.S. Open with the ligaments shredded in his left knee and a double stress fracture in his lower left leg. The USGA published a book called ‘Great Moments of the U.S. Open,” and the photo it selected for the cover showed Woods arching his back and pumping his fists after making a 12foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole at Torrey Pines to get into a playoff.

It wouldn’t have been much of a photo if he missed.

Woods had to go 91 holes that week. He had to make another birdie on the 18th hole of the playoff to go extra holes before finally beating Rocco Mediate.

“I think there was a lot of people pulling for Tiger,” said Rory McIlroy, who was 19 at the time, a rookie on the European Tour who failed to qualify for the U.S. Open. “He was playing on a broken leg pretty much, so I was definitely pull-

ing for Tiger. It was probably one of the best performances golf has ever seen, if not sport in general.”

Hard as it might have been to believe that day, it also was the last major Woods won.

He had one more chance at a major after his season-ending knee surgery, losing a two-shot lead to Y.E. Yang in the 2009 PGA Championship. After two darks years brought on by the collapse of his marriage and more injuries to his left leg, he had at least a share of the 36-hole lead in two majors last year, and he had an outside shot at the Masters in April going into the final round.

Majors don’t come as easily as they once seemed to for Woods, though he never looked at them that way.

“It wasn’t ever easy,” he said. “I felt it was still difficult because the major of the majors, three of the four always rotated. It was always on a new site each and every year. Augusta was the only one you could rely on from past experiences. A lot of majors that I won were on either the first or second time I’d ever seen it.”

Woods won four majors on courses he had never

played — Medinah for the 1999 PGA Championship, Valhalla for the PGA Championship the following year, Bethpage Black in the 2002 U.S. Open and Royal Liverpool for the 2006 British Open.

Merion is new not only to him, but just about everyone.

It last hosted a U.S. Open in 1981, when David Graham putted for birdie on every hole and closed with a 67. Phil Mickelson, Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker played Merion, but they were all college kids at the 1989 U.S. Amateur. A few others competed in the 2005 U.S. Amateur or the 2009 Walker Cup. But never at a U.S. Open.

“I don’t remember much about it from that long ago,” Stricker said. “But I remember at least that it was a great, old course with a lot of history to it, one that I enjoyed playing back in ‘89 and no different than today. It’s a great test.”

It figures to be a different test this week.

For all the history of Merion, this week seems like a recurrence of the troublesome weather that has followed the PGA Tour around this season. The course has received some 5 inches of rain since Fri-

day, so much that it was closed for practice one day on the weekend, and play was stopped three times on Monday.

It was packed under mostly sunny skies Tuesday in what amounted to a crash course for so many players with the start of the U.S. Open only two days away.

“Played the golf course last Wednesday, which has proved kind of invaluable now,” Graeme McDowell said. “I flew in yesterday with the intention of playing 18 holes late last night, but that didn’t happen.

So I’m kind of adjusting my plan here at the minute. I’m going to play nine holes this afternoon and nine holes tomorrow.”

Phil Mickelson spent two days at Merion last week, which also proved invaluable. He left town Monday for San Diego to practice in California’s dry weather, though he was planning on being home Wednesday, anyway, to watch his oldest daughter speak at her eighth-grade graduate ceremony.

Woods stopped at Merion on the way to the Memorial, and wondered how much he got out of that practice round. It rained practically the entire time,

so the ball wasn’t flying very far in the air or when it hit the ground. Woods was trying to figure out how much the ball would run along the canted fairways in dry conditions.

Now, he might not find out.

“I thought it might be totally different,” Woods said. “As I explained at Memorial, I thought the ball would be running out and we would hit different clubs and different shapes.

But it’s going to be the same as what we played” in his practice round two weeks ago.

Woods already has forgotten about his last start, an abysmal finish at the Memorial where he couldn’t make a putt and wound up 20 shots out the lead. He said he had a good week of practice at home in Florida until some tropical weather came through.

“I guess it was getting us ready for this one,” he said.

The preparation is all part of the plan. Woods talked about going to other major courses ahead of time to map out his strategy and get a feel for how to play the course.

“But then I have to go out and execute,” he said.

“And go out and win an event.”

most significant decisions for this team without even having a full offseason to evaluate.

Luckily, since Millard is a junior and Childress has already been redshirted for a season, Holgorsen and his assistants most likely have a

pretty good idea of who has more value between those two, even if they haven’t necessarily been letting the media in on it.

In addition, since Trickett’s actually seen some time on the field, the coaches will be able to

evaluate him a bit through game film, but it’s also important to remember that while Trickett is indeed the most game experienced of the three quarterbacks, he still only has 106 career pass attempts.

One thing is for sure,

when WVU’s fall camp convenes in August, all three players will be involved in the most heated and important competition of their lives. Although the Mountaineers could certainly afford to keep all three players despite who wins the start-

ing job, I just can’t see the final member of West Virginia’s edition of Three’s Company sticking around to be the third wheel on a rebuilding team and offense.

Thoroughman enjoys return to West Virginia by greg madia multimedia editor

file photo

Former West Virginia forward Cam Thoroughman played for the Mountaineers from 2006-11.

It was only a little over two years ago when former West Virginia University basketball forward Cam Thoroughman played his final game as a Mountaineer. After Kentucky eliminated West Virginia in the third round of the 2011 NCAA tournament, Thoroughman’s West Virginia career ended.

This past weekend Thoroughman reverted back to his glory days as he returned to Morgantown to help out WVU head coach Bob Huggins with his annual fantasy camp.

“I thought this was a great way to get back in town and see a lot of good folks. I was here for five years of my life, and I loved it. I would say it was the best time of my life,” he said.

Thoroughman played at WVU from 2006-2011 and was most excited to see former coaches and teammates like Huggins and Mike Gansey. Although those relationships are strong now, Thoroughman was placed in the middle of a transition period at WVU. Thoroughman, a native of Portsmouth, Ohio, was recruited by former WVU and current Michigan

coach John Beilein. Thoroughman played a season under Beilein before he left for Michigan. Then Thoroughman was part of a group that could have been lost in the shuffle due to the coaching transition of Huggins taking over for the 2007 season. The former WVU forward remembers his first meeting with Huggins after he became head coach, which pointed an unfocused group in the direction of winning.

“I think if I remember his words correctly, Huggins told us, ‘This may be the hardest thing you’ll ever do in your whole life,’” Thoroughman said. “For me there was a lot of hesitation, I was scared almost after that.”

From Thoroughman to players such as Da’Sean Butler and Joe Mazzula, there was no choice other than to go with what Huggins wanted. Although there may have been some hesitation, making the choice to embrace Huggins set the foundation for West Virginia to make a Final Four run in 2010.

“I think a lot of us on the team realized we were going to do whatever it took to get a win at the end of the day. I mean we cared about each other,” Thoroughman said. “If that meant you had to go set ten screens, or you don’t shoot the ball

the whole game, if we would end up getting a win, that’s what you had to do.”

That season was special for West Virginia, as the team won the Big East Title on the road to the Final Four. Naturally, some of Thoroughman’s finest memories come from that season.

“Winning the Big East Tournament in the Garden and having ‘Country Roads’ blasted in there was pretty sweet,” said Thoroughman, “And also where I’m from in Ohio, its right on the border where all the Kentucky fans are, and when we beat Kentucky (2010 NCAA Elite 8), when no one gave us a chance to win that game, and we ended up winning. It was awesome.”

Thoroughman finished his career averaging just 1.5 points per game, and 2.3 rebounds per game, but served as an important player and part of the team during the time when the 2010 Final Four team was coming closer together. After getting his MBA from WVU during his senior season, Thoroughman ended his basketball career.

He now works for Marathon Petroleum Corporation at a refinery in Robinson, Ill. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Former WVU center Burton named to Australian national team by joe mitchin sports writer

Former West Virginia women’s basketball player Natalie Burton last stepped on the court in Morgantown in 2012 before graduating with a degree in finance.

She returned to her hometown of Perth, Australia, to begin her business career.

Despite working in finance advising, Burton continued to play basketball part-time with the WNBL’s West Coast Waves. Last week Burton was given another opportunity – a spot on the Australian National Team.

Burton, a fan favorite at WVU for her charm and humility, appeared in a tryout for the team in Canberra,

Australia, after she received a phone call inviting her to the event.

“The head coach was only just announced so it was the first camp with the new coach,” Burton said.

The tryout lasted five days before the final decisions were made for the team known in Australia as the “Opals”.

“We trained twice a day,” Burton said. “They hold these camps every few months or so, and this camp was to get selected to play three games in China with the national team and also to go to the World University Games in Russia in July.”

Burton was selected to play on both of those teams.

Burton played 119 career games for WVU from 20092012. She started 31 of 33 games in her freshman season before seeing her minutes dwindle in the more recent years. Burton finished her time in Morgantown with a career 2.7 points per game mark with 2.4 career rebounds per game and 46 blocks. She also is second all-time in field goal percentage in program history with 52.8 percent.

The Australian Women’s National Team last played in the London Olympic Games last summer. The squad won the bronze medal after losing to Team U.S.A. in the semifinals. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
