THE STARS

By Carlee lammersmanaging Editor @CarLEELammErS

The WVU Board of Gov-ernors unanimously voted to make Gordon Gee the permanent president of the University Monday.

The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commis-sion is expected to have an emergency meeting to ap-prove the selection.

The BOG has rescinded the previous motion, which stated the interim president could not be a candidate for the full-time position.

BOG chair James Dailey said he believes Gee is a perfect match for WVU and has a plan to continue the University’s momentum.

“It is clear Gordon Gee has not been a placeholder president by any means. He has been an extraor-dinary high-energy leader who is getting things done, moving us forward and clearly has the support of

our Board, senior Univer-sity leaders, faculty and staff, students, elected of-ficials, higher education peers and opinion lead-ers,” he said. “Countless people have urged us from Day One to keep him.”

Ryan Campione, WVU Student Government As-sociation president, serves on the BOG as a student member. Campione said he is thrilled with the de-cision and believes Gee is a perfect fit for WVU.

“In a short amount of time, President Gee has warmly embraced the stu-dent body, engaging with us in all different facets of student life,” he said. “Stu-dents greatly appreciate his caring involvement and are overwhelmingly thrilled to see him continue as presi-dent and as our friend.”

Gee previously served as president of WVU from 1981-85. He returned to campus in January 2014 on an interim basis, af-ter James P. Clements

departed for Clemson University.

Gee said he has appre-ciated West Virginia’s hos-pitality and is excited to serve on a long-term basis.

“When I had the oppor-tunity to return to West Vir-ginia and this University earlier this year, I did not hesitate. And I have found it to be the same wonderful and welcoming place I re-membered,” he said.

“With great joy, I also found that our University had grown, matured and was competing on the na-tional academic stage with some of the very best land-grant research universities in the country.

“I am honored, ener-gized and humbled to serve West Virginia Univer-sity as the 24th president.”

Former Mountaineer football greats joined to-gether in Morgantown Saturday for the inaugu-ral Once a Mountaineer, Always a Mountaineer campaign.

The campaign, designed by West Virginia University Public Relations Society of America and the United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties, was ini-tiated as a way to bring for-mer WVU football play-ers back to Morgantown to inspire healthy lifestyle choices among children in the Mountain State.

Saturday’s events kicked off with a Day of Play at the Student Recreation Cen-ter that allowed more than 150 area children the op-portunity to participate in drill style activities with current and former WVU football players.

The Student Government Association’s “Great De-bate” was held Monday between the Launch Party and the Trusted Ticket in the Mountainlair Commons.

Twenty-nine Board of Governors candidates, includ-ing independent candidate Drew Nexsen and three Ath-letic Council candidates, participated in the debate.

Dr. Lisa DiBartolomeo, Chair of the Faculty Sen-ate, moderated the debate, while students gathered around the edges of the area to cheer on their favorite candidates.

Each candidate was given 60 seconds for opening in-troductions and then, in 30 seconds, answered a ques-tion specific to their platform.

The debate began with Athletic Councilor candidate Ashley Morgan from the Trusted Ticket, who is push-

ing to increase Student Recreation Center Awareness.Brady Smith, a write-in candidate for athletic coun-

cil with the Launch Party, was also given the opportu-nity to partake in the debate. He focused on making club sports more affordable.

Hot topics of the debate for the Board of Governors included improving career services, student health, re-tention rates and college affordability.

Julie Merow, a candidate for the Trusted Ticket with the platform of diversifying dining services, touched on her personal experiences of having a dietary allergy and not having many options in the dining halls.

“More can be done (for these students),” she said.The second half of the debate consisted of a face-off

between the presidential and vice presidential candi-dates of each party.

The Launch Party vice presidential candidate, Kar-tik Motwani, revealed the party’s strategic plan on a large poster board that closely follows the University’s

2020 plan.Farah Famouri, presidential candidate of the Launch

Party, was not afraid to answer questions with sass.“We’re not politicians. We’re students, and every

member of our ticket is a real person,” she said.Famouri also said she would work on all issues on

campus, not just safety.Chris Nyden, presidential candidate for the Trusted

Ticket, put a large amount of emphasis on past experi-ence and knowledge of how to get things done.

“We brought results to SGA. I can promise you Jake (Evans) and I will continue to bring results, as we have done already,” Nyden said.

Election polls open today at 9 a.m. at the Mountainlair, the Law School and the Mineral Re-sources building. Voting will continue through Thursday.

Nearly 1,000 WVu Hospital employees could strikeBy JaCOB BOJessON

Staff WritEr @daiLyathEnaEum

A possible strike by nearly 1,000 employees at the West Virginia University Hospi-tals may be on the horizon after negotiations between the hospitals and Labor-ers’ Local 814 Union broke down Monday.

The two parties have been negotiating regarding a new contract for months and left

last week’s meetings on a positive note.

John Grossklaus, who represents the labor union in the discussions, said he was hopeful the parties would be able to solidify some details Monday, but after hours of negotiations, a new contract seemed far away.

“This is the most bizarre contract negotiation I’ve ever been in in my life,” Grossklaus said. “I’ve never dealt with a company that

would put up its B-players to be negotiators, and they’re yet to make a decision at the table. We’ve made all kinds of decisions.”

The labor union ex-tended its notice of strike several times, but accord-ing to Grossklaus, the cur-rent March 17 deadline is final.

If a deal is not struck by then, the union, which rep-resents more than 900 work-ers at the hospital, will go on strike effective March 18.

“If we don’t come to an agreement, we’re not giving them another extension, be-cause they lied to us on the last one,” Grossklaus said. “They were supposed to agree on three things with us in order to get that ex-tension. They only agreed on two of them.”

At the moment, the two parties are in disagreements on pay upgrades, medical leave of absence and dis-ability resets, among other things.

During Monday’s meet-ing, seniority and discipline were brought to the table.

“I think the hospital thinks they’re done with them not being willing to negotiate seniority and dis-cipline, which has noth-ing to do with money,” Grossklaus said. “Our prior-ity is to give them our pro-posals on it and see what happens.”

Representatives from the hospital did not want to comment on the progress of

the contract after the meet-ing Monday, but said they still believe an agreement will be reached.

“We remain hopeful and very optimistic,” said Amy Johns, director of Public Affairs Planning, Market-ing & Communications for WVU Healthcare & Health Sciences.

Negotiations will con-tinue later this week.

WVU Career Services to host two-day career fair on campus By eVelyN merITHeW

Staff WritEr @daiLyathEnaEum

West Virginia Universi-ty’s Career Services Center is hosting its second two-day Career Fair the week after spring break for stu-dents to meet with and learn more about multiple businesses.

WVU students of all lev-els and majors are invited to take advantage of this job and internship search opportunity March 19-20 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. There will be approximately 75 companies March 19 and approximately 60 com-panies March 20.

“There will be different employers each day, so stu-dents should attend both

days. Last fall, we had 1,200 students on the first day (of the fair) and 1,100 on the second,” said Sarah Glenn, assistant director of em-ployer relations. “We are hoping for a significant in-crease this spring, as more and more students realize that there will be different employers each day.”

Among the company representatives coming are PepsiCo., the FBI, GEICO, Target, Altria, Mylan, Goodyear, AT&T and the U.S. State Department.

Glenn recommends stu-dents wear business-pro-fessional attire and bring several copies of their resume.

“Students should pre-pare their elevator pitch, a 30-60 (second) recap of their professional goals

and successes, as well as research registered em-ployers in advance,” Glenn said.

Students can find a com-plete list of the employers on MountaineerTRAK or by downloading the WVUJOB-FAIRS mobile app, which was launched in fall 2013.

“Last fall, Career Ser-vices hired our first market-ing intern, and this spring, we added a social media intern. We learned how important it is to provide quick and accessible infor-mation to students,” Glenn said. “(Students) aren’t going to read 10 pages on how to work a career fair, but they are interested in watching quick video clips.”

Students can download this app for free. Glenn said most students will be

out of town for break dur-ing the week before the Career Fair, so Career Ser-vices is going to use Face-book, Twitter and LinkedIn to help assist students who want to be prepared for the event.

“There will be videos on developing an elevator pitch, infographics and pic-tures on what to wear and what not to wear, resume tips and advice on general career fair etiquette, such as warning students against collecting lots of giveaways during the fair and not hav-ing a free hand to shake,” Glenn said.

The WVU Career Fair is a way for the University to show off its students’ wide range of talents in all dif-ferent fields of study, and Glenn said as the number

of well-prepared and com-petitive students attending the event increases, so does the number of employers.

Glenn said the WVU Career Fair is also a good way for students to learn about companies they may not have heard of before because they are not direct-to-consumer organizations.

“B/E Aerospace, a global manufacturer, will be at the fair to find marketing in-terns in addition to engi-neers. Mondelez Interna-tional’s portfolio includes Nabisco and Kraft just to name a few,” she said.

A large number of stu-dents successfully find in-ternship and full-time em-ployment opportunities at the Career Fair, and stu-dents who impress recruit-

ers in person are more likely to be offered an interview.

“Career fairs are one of the best, if not the best, way to meet with a large num-ber of corporate recruiters face-to-face. Most of the time, students rely on elec-tronic resumes to get their foot in the door,” Glenn said. “When you have the opportunity to make your first impression in person, you should take it.”

and Super Bowl XLVIII champion Bruce Irvin.

“It’s always good to give back,” Irvin said. “I love West Virginia so much, so when they asked me, I didn’t hesi-tate. Hopefully we can make

this a tradition. I’m looking forward to continue doing this again each year.”

All the football players in attendance shared the sen-timent their involvement in the event was extremely im-portant to them and was their way of giving back to the local community that once gave them so much.

Many of the players noted the experience as an oppor-tunity to be a role model and someone for children to look to as a positive example.

“It’s always good to get out and get involved with the kids. It was good to run around with them a little bit and break a little sweat,” Har-ris said. “I think back to when I was younger and going to camps like this. A lot of times these experiences don’t really hit the kids until much later in life, but it’s important for them to have people to look up to.”

Event organizers said the idea for the day’s events stemmed from similar events hosted by professional orga-nizations, including the NFL.

“Pro sports organizations find ways to give back to their communities,” said Joey Har-mon, a Day of Play executive. “There’s the NFL Play 60 to help reduce childhood obe-sity, and nothing like this has ever been done (here) before, so we just decided to use the resources we had and cre-ate something awesome out of it.”

Among the local chil-dren who attended the Day of Play event was Adam Hill, an eighth grade student at Suncrest Middle School. Hill said he thought it was amaz-

ing that former WVU and current NFL football players would take time out of their schedules to spend the day with him.

“I’m having a lot of fun, and it’s cool to hang out with all the football players,” Hill said. “I really like running, I run track, so these drills are pretty fun. I want to come to WVU when I grow up and play basketball or football.”

Players and event partic-ipants also visited the WVU Children’s Hospital in the afternoon to inspire the pa-tients and spread smiles with their infectious Mountaineer spirit.

“My favorite part of the day was the hospital visit, the smiles on the player’s faces made the six months of hard work completely worth it,” said Collen Lewis, an event coordinator. “We all want to make a real difference in the next generation’s lives and ensure that they have every opportunity to succeed in their own lives. These events were the perfect way to make sure this happens.”

Event coordinators and the players said they hope to make the Once a Mountain-eer, Always a Mountaineer campaign an annual event.

SHAnnon McKEnnA/THE DAiLY ATHEnAEUMDancers Krysta Beth Kemp and partner Derek Wetsch dance to a Southern theme.

SHAnnon McKEnnA/THE DAiLY ATHEnAEUMBen Seebaugh and Katie Heller won first place Friday night.

BY JAKE JARVISA&E WRITER

@DAILYATHENAEUM

Benjamin Seebaugh and Katie Heller won first place in the Danc-ing With Our Mountain-eer Stars competition Sat-urday evening. The couple beat out 14 other cou-ples to take home the gold.

Seebaugh and Heller currently serve on West Virginia University’s Stu-dent Government Associ-ation as the vice president and member of the Board of Governors, respectively. After participating the competition in 2013, Heller convinced Seebaugh to be her partner this time around.

The couple danced to a mash-up of Fergie’s “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” and Will.i.am’s “Bang Bang.” Dressed to the nines with a nod to 1930s fashion, they wowed the audience with classy performance.

“There were a couple of timing issues, but aside from that, our practice re-ally paid off,” Seebaugh said. “Katie (Heller) pos-sesses a tremendous atten-tion to detail, so we were able to focus on sharp-ening our dance during rehearsals.”

As a part of the compe-

tition, the couples were responsible for acquiring donors for a blood drive hosted by the American Red Cross. For each do-nor, the couple would re-ceive one additional point added to their overall score.

Samantha Di Carlo and her partner Patrick Garcia tied with Seebaugh and Heller for getting the most donors and receiving spe-cial recognition from an ARC representative.

“I felt like the winners deserved to win, but I think the number of peo-ple who went to the blood drive in support of the dancers played a huge role,” said Michael Phil-lips, a sophomore biology student. “The couple who took second place easily could have won if it hadn’t been for the large numbers of SGA members who gave blood.”

The first runners up were Jackie Riggleman, a graduate assistant in Mountainlair Program-ming, and Steve Eccleston, a student in the College of Business & Economics. They danced to “Ladies Choice” from the musical “Hairspray.”

This couple was by far the most energetic of the evening. During their per-formance, they had a glow-ing, genuine smile that told

the audience they were having a good time. The panel of five judges noted their extreme attention to detail.

Riggleman was left with-out a partner Wednesday evening when Ryan Boyd, her former partner, had to drop from the compe-tition due to work com-mitments. Riggleman and Eccleston did a stunning job with only three days of rehearsal.

Skip Smith, the 2013 Mountaineer Idol, and Mel Moraes, an alumna of the WVU Dance Team, were the second runners up.

Smith wowed audi-

ences with his incredi-ble vocal talent by singing the opening of his num-ber. The pair then ripped off their pants to reveal colorful leggings and tank tops in which they danced their way to spring break bodies.

One standout couple was Jeff Fuss, from the WVU Boxing Club, and Kristi Wood-Turner, from the WVU Center for Service and Learning. They had a comical routine complete with basketballs, booty-popping and a special flash-mob performance.

At the closing of the per-formance, Fuss and Wood-

Turner broke out signature WVU Cheerleader dance moves and were joined by a crowd of 10 audience members.

Other couples presented

dances ranging from a sul-try salsa, an emotional contemporary number to even a “traditional twerk.”

EDITORIAL

The Daily Athenaeum’s 2014 SGA endorsements

Before we announce our endorsements for this year’s Student Government Asso-ciation elections, we would like to take a moment to explain ourselves in an at-tempt to head off the in-evitable criticism that will come our way, regardless of whom we endorse.

Our endorsements are made by The Daily Athenae-um’s editorial board, which is comprised of the editor-in-chief, managing editor, opinion editor, city editor, sports editor and arts and entertainment editor. Re-porters covering SGA elec-tions also provided input in the decision.

Endorsements are tradi-tionally released by news-papers prior to the start of voting to provide vot-ers with a reasoned case for supporting particular candidates.

The reasoning behind newspaper endorsements goes something like this: as journalists, we spend our time closely observing politics, much more closely than the typical layperson.

In our particular case,

we are the only journalists covering SGA throughout the year, so we are uniquely positioned to present a case for the election of particular candidates based on their records, as opposed to their rhetoric.

These endorsements are merely the opinion of the staff.

There will certainly be those who disagree, as is their right.

But we hope students will consider our argument be-fore casting their ballot, as we have put forth a great deal of effort to ensure we endorse the candidates who we feel will best serve our University.

Polls will be open to-day through Thursday from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Students can cast their votes in the Mountainlair throughout the entire voting period and other polling places will be at the Law School and the Mineral Engineering Build-ing today, the Student Rec-reation Center and Health Sciences Center Wednesday and Towers on Thursday.

No matter who you vote

for, make sure and take the time out of your day to cast your vote.

Now, here are our endorsements:

For president and vice president, we endorse Farah Famouri and Kartik Motwani.

We believe Famouri and Motwani have the most feasible plan for the Uni-versity. Their Student Body Strategic Plan is in line with WVU’s goals and has been adapted to be easily ac-complished within a school year.

Famouri and Motwani are currently involved in a combined 18 student orga-nizations on campus. Due to on-campus involvement, we believe the two are well-equipped to unify WVU and increase student involve-ment in many facets of the University. The pair’s ex-perience and leadership, in and outside SGA, proves they are capable of leading the student body and step-ping up to fight for students.

While Chris Nyden’s goals and accomplishments should not be overlooked,

we believe Famouri and Motwani are the best team to take on the positions.

For these reasons, we are confident that Famouri and Motwani are the most promising candidates for student body president and vice president, and we give them our full support.

For Board of Gover-nors and Athletic Council, we endorse the following candidates:

Amanda HutchisonHutchison’s desire to

make WVU more accessi-ble for students with dis-abilities is definitely worth pursuing. If achieved, Hutchison’s platform could transform WVU.

Julie MerowMerow’s desire to make

WVU’s dining options more inclusive to students with special dietary concerns is much needed. We believe this is a realistic plan to im-prove dining on campus.

Mike IbekweAs a public health stu-

dent, Ibekwe is knowledge-able on his platform of stu-dent health and wellness. His ideas and goals to edu-

cate students will certainly benefit students – espe-cially since health insur-ance will be mandated for all students in the 2014-15 school year.

Anthony BraxtonBraxton, a current BOG

member, has accomplished quite a lot this year. If re-elected, we believe Brax-ton will make great strides in student connectivity and with the Mountaineer Par-ent’s Club.

Stephen ScottScott, a current BOG

member, has accomplished quite a lot with his platform of advising. Next year, Scott plans to take the data he ob-tained from survey work on campus and develop it even further. We firmly believe Scott will be able to make significant improvements to WVU’s advising process, which is much needed.

Joy WangWang, another current

BOG member, made signif-icant strides with her men-torship program this year. As she shifts her focus to parking this campaign sea-son, we believe she has a

parking amnesty program that would benefit students.

Chelsea MaloneMalone plans to bring a

new organization to cam-pus and work with the Carruth Center to improve the quality of mental health services available at WVU. We believe this is vital on any college campus, and Malone’s plan is a step in the right direction.

Brian BellewBellew has a unique ap-

proach to improving stain-ability on campus. His ideas to bring organic foods from WVU’s organic farm to cam-pus and measuring WVU’s carbon footprint are new approaches to increas-ing sustainability. We be-lieve these are worth look-ing into.

Lucas HilsbosHilsbos has already made

great strides in bridging the gap between WVU and the local community. His ideas will do nothing but ben-efit both the city of Mor-gantown as well as WVU students.

FRIDAY’S PUZZLE SOLVED

CROSSWORD

PHOTO OF THE DAY

HOROSCOPEBY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year you alter-nate between being extremely as-sertive and being extremely laid-back. Others are likely to react to this changeability, so try to be un-derstanding. You know how to trig-ger a partner or an associate, espe-cially when the topic is money. Try to keep the peace. If you are single, you could discover that someone is try-ing to change you. You do not want a bond like this; instead, go for one where you will be accepted. If you are attached, your sweetie might find this newfound duality to be a delight-ful change. You keep life exciting.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH You might sense that you have an edge, and you do in a key situation.

You’ll have little tolerance for settling for anything less than what you want. Your temper could erupt at any given moment. By mid-afternoon, you’ll be-come far more poised. Tonight: Treat a loved one.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You could go from being somewhat blue or quiet in the morning to be-ing Mr. or Ms. Personality by the af-ternoon. You’ll express a real sense of direction and draw others in closer. Even someone who does not usually agree with you could emerge. To-night: Among the crowds.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Use the morning for a key proj-ect, when your leverage and abil-ity to draw in others is high. By the afternoon, you might resent being bogged down by what you judge to be insignificant details. Hold your

tongue, and keep your own counsel. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HH You seem to offer a perspective that many people do not have. Your feedback is valued, even if you encounter diffi-culties with a higher-up. This person simply tends to be a bit of a curmud-geon. Refuse to let this person get to you. Tonight: Do what you want.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed by every-thing that is going on. Your temper could rise as others aggressively seek you out. Screen your calls rather than blow a fuse. Dealing with work mat-ters might preoccupy your afternoon. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Deal with a partner, associate or friend directly. Both of you could be

the victim of a misunderstanding. Limit the rhetoric, as you attempt to clear the air. Someone else will ap-preciate your ability to detach and see the big picture. Tonight: Paint the town red.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Though generally you’re known as the sign of diplomacy, lately you seem to be specializing in putting your foot in your mouth. Do not let today be an-other example of this behavior. In the afternoon, listen to a loved one’s saga. Tonight: Dinner for two.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Dive into work, and clear out as much as possible in the morning. Interper-sonal interactions will take up a large part of the afternoon. You’ll enjoy the change of pace. Talk with a loved one about what you want for the two of you. Tonight: Go with the flow, but ac-

cept an invitation.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You could be frivolous in the morning and efficient in the after-noon. You suddenly might realize how much is on your plate and de-cide to concentrate on what must be done. Create the possibility of work-ing at home, where you can focus. To-night: Head home and relax.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You could be more in tune with a child, a new project or a loved one in the afternoon. To someone close, your change in mood from the morn-ing chilliness that emanated from you will make him or her smile. Share more of your emotional side. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You are likely to speak your

mind and cause quite a hullabaloo. By the afternoon, you might wish that you had stayed a little more con-tained. Consider what might be the best peace offering or at least an ex-pression of your caring. Tonight: Set-tle in at home.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH Check out a financial offer or an in-vestment in the morning. The re-search that you do could prove to be most worthwhile by the afternoon. A discussion could reveal a lot more about what is being offered. Fortu-nately, you will ask the right ques-tions. Tonight: Hang out.

The 86th Academy Awards supply laughter, elegance

Sunday marked the 86th annual Academy Awards, known as the Oscars, at the Dolby Theater in Holly-wood, Ca. Ellen DeGeneres returned as host to an eve-ning full of laughs, beauti-ful fashion and predictable winners.

All eyes were on the red carpet. This year we were treated to standout dresses showcasing rich color and perfect tailoring.

Lupita Nyong’o, star of “12 Years a Slave” and win-ner of Best Actress in a Sup-porting Role, was easily one of the best dressed. In a soft blue Prada dress, Nyong’o looked elegant with a flow-ing, knife-pleated number.

My personal favorite was Charlize Theron. Sporting a powerful black Dior dress, the deep-cut, decolletage neckline that gave a Malefi-cent vibe. The long train and $15 million worth of Harry Winston jewelery made her a stand-out queen.

As the main event kicked off, I was excited to see DeGeneres hosting once again. She stayed true to herself and teased audience members and lightened the stressful mood.

“Possibility No. 1, ‘12 Years A Slave’ wins best picture,” DeGeneres said. “Possibility No. 2, you’re all racists.”

Halfway through the show, DeGeneres asked if anyone in the audience was hungry. Hands shot up in the air, which prompted the host to order Cici’s Pizza and distribute it to the crowd.

But as the evening went on, the antics actually “broke” social network-ing site Twitter. Degeneres posted a selfie with stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Julia Rob-erts. This picture was the most retweeted in Twitter’s history, reportedly crashing

the site for approximately 20 minutes.

The show was a blast to watch, but the real reason we all tuned in was to see who would take home the trophy.

Matthew McConaughey won Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in “Dallas Buyers Club.” Poor Leonardo DiCaprio. De-spite being the most men-tioned person on social media, (123,299 mentions according to the Oscars website), he lost once again.

Another big win went to Jared Leto for his stun-ning portrayal of Rayon, a HIV-positive transgender woman, in “Dallas Buy-ers Club.” During his ac-ceptance speech, he gave a heartfelt thank you to his mother for encouraging him to dream big.

Although his perfor-mance was stunning, it is

disappointing the director Jean-Marc Vallee chose to cast Leto instead of an ac-tual transgender woman. He made an offhand com-ment to CBS reporters when asked if he would ever cast a transgender woman in the role.

“Never. (Are) there any transgender actors?” Val-lee said. “I’m not aiming for the real thing. I’m aim-ing for an experienced ac-tor who wants to portray the thing.”

But the best acceptance speech of the evening goes to Cate Blanchett for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

“And perhaps (to) those of us in the industry who are still foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women at the center are niche experiences, they are not,” Blanchett said. “Audi-ences want to see them, and in fact, they earn money.”

During the evening, at-tendees were treated to performances of this year’s nominees for Best Original Song, including Idina Men-zel’s rocky “Let It Go.” But the most moving perfor-

mance came from Pink.Pink dawned the ruby

slippers and bedazzled dress to honor “The Wizard of Oz,” by singing “Some-where Over the Rainbow.” One word: breathtaking.

The Oscars mark the end of Awards Season in Holly-wood. But in a few months when it rolls around again, look to us for full coverage.

Villains steal TV audiences’ hearts ‘3 Days to Kill’ stars Kevin Costner

squarespace.comKevin Costner stars in ‘3 Days to Kill.’

WesTley ThompsonA&E WRITER @dAIlyAThEnAEum

sTephAnie messingerA&E WRITER @dAIlyAThEnAEum

Why do we like the bad guys? Why is it we always root for the evil person to win?

Many of the most pop-ular television shows to-day feature a villain as the main character. AMC’s “Breaking Bad” follows the cunning and brilliant Wal-ter White, someone whose greed and desire for power completely transformed him into a monster. Show-time’s “Dexter” follows a serial killer, and Netflix’s “House of Cards” docu-ments the ruthless and driven Frank Underwood.

Even when the villain isn’t the main character, they often attract quite a fan base. Spike from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was an evil vampire, meant to be the main enemy for only a season, but he quickly became such a fan favor-ite that Joss Whedon wrote him into the rest of the se-ries. The Governor on “The Walking Dead” is another example of audiences lov-ing the evil man.

So why do we like these guys? I suspect there are a few reasons.

The first reason is they are more interesting. They offer more complex-ity in both their storyline and motivation. Good guys tend to have a very straightforward and often repeated story arc. Some-thing happens, they are forced into a heroic role, they struggle, but eventu-ally adapt and vanquish the villain.

Bad guys do not have to hold to that pattern. Their motivation can be different – even entirely alien to us – and what is strange is interesting. What does Frank Under-wood want? Power. Plain and simple. There is no tragic background, no met-aphoric calling to arms – Frank wants power be-cause he desires it. Nothing more.

Even how they achieve their goals is exciting. Bad guys have no rules to fol-low. A paragon of human-ity is bound to certain rules, and they cannot kill unless it’s justified. They must do the right thing, but bad guys aren’t. They can do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals.

Frank Under wood wants to extend his reach in the U.S. government, so he lies and manipu-lates his way to the top. Dexter wants to rid Mi-ami of criminals, so he ties them to a table and stabs them to death, but not be-fore collecting a sample of their blood as a trophy.

It’s fun to unwrap a vil-lain’s personality, too. They are often more com-plex than the standard protagonist. For someone to be pushed into being evil, a lot had to happen.

Walter White’s ruthless-ness was a result of years of being unrecognized and undervalued for his intel-lect, being screwed by his business partners and the rage of a whole life seem-ingly lived for nothing and ending too soon.

Dexter’s struggle with his “dark passenger” and trying to assimilate into so-ciety and become human is another example of an interesting personality of a villain.

A good guy would never have to struggle with such things. Villains are more complex and have different histories and motivations.

“You know that he (Dex-ter Morgan) had trauma early in his life, and he’s doing it for a purpose,” said Jackson Lilly, a sophomore animal and nutritional sci-ence student at West Vir-ginia University. “He’s not being bad to be bad.”

Villains can also be liked simply because root-ing for them is a refresh-ing change from how tele-vision shows normally work. Everybody is used to following the good guy, so when you have a chance to see the bad guy’s story from his point of view, it’s exciting and new. It gives a different perspective than what everyone is used to.

Whether you love them, hate them or love to hate them, villains starring as the protagonists on their own shows is an awe-some and exciting path for entertainment to take. Wildly successful shows like “Dexter,” “Breaking Bad” and “House of Cards” have proven this is a win-ning formula, and I’m ex-cited to see where shows take this next.


The action-packed and heart-wrenching movie “3 Days to Kill,” starring Kevin Costner as Ethan Renner, hit theaters in late February. Renner is an in-ternational spy struggling with his dedication to his job as a CIA agent and not spending time with his family.

The great choices in actresses to accompany Costner’s main role were perfect for this thrilling movie. His wife is played by the beautiful Connie Nielsen, and with their re-bellious teenage daugh-ter, played by Hailee Stein-feld, all came together for the perfect dynamic of the less-than-perfect family.

Their struggles and hardships seemed realis-tic and relatable through the big screen. The family deals with Renner’s lack of presence and what he be-lieves to be his last chance

at life after finding out he has lung cancer and is given approximately three months to live. Renner at-tempts to play a larger role in the lives of his wife and daughter and make up the time he lost.

Audiences were kept on their toes as Renner was given a second chance at life, though it came with the chance of losing his family after promising he would end his career.

Vivi, a powerful char-acter played by Amber Heard, offers him an ex-perimental drug to ex-tend his life. The catch? He must come to work for her with the mission of hunting down and killing the world’s most danger-ous terrorist, as if strug-gling to spend time with his daughter and gain her affection was not hard enough.

Renner accepts Vivi’s offer, and audiences go along for the roller coaster ride of Renner’s life as he balances being a CIA agent with teaching his daughter how to ride a bike.

The fatherly role Renner attempted to take on kept

audiences laughing and entertained, as he often underestimated the job description of a full-time dad.

This heart pounding story keeps getting bet-ter throughout the action-packed, fight scenes from the old and dying Renner. There was never a dull mo-ment in this movie, though at times Renner’s symp-toms from his illness were pretty predictable and un-realistic, as they affected him just as he was ready to shoot the trigger and com-plete his mission.

In the end, Renner’s at-tempt to keep his last mis-sion from his family was something he could not do.

“3 Days to Kill” has a nice twist at the end, and during the final scene, his relationship with his wife and daughter was finally mended. The ups and downs, fight scenes, hu-mor and love made this movie one to remember in 2014. Costner did an excel-lent job selling his newest movie to audiences.

TITLE FIGHT

WYTHE WOODS/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMMembers of the WVU women’s basketball team come together before the team’s game against Texas Tech Feb. 26.

No. 7 West Virginia set to take on Kansas Jayhawks with Big 12 title hopes in reachby kevin hooker

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The No. 7 West Virginia women’s basketball team will close out its regular season schedule at home tonight against the Kansas Jayhawks at 7.

There are five seniors on this year’s team – Asya Bussie, Christal Caldwell, Brooke Hampton, Jess Har-lee and Taylor Palmer – all

who will be recognized prior to tonight’s tip off.

WVU is coming off its best win of the season with a 71-69 road victory over No. 6 Baylor. With the win, the Mountaineers are in contention for a share of the Big 12 regular season title. Both Baylor and West Virginia are 15-2 in confer-ence play with one game remaining.

“I’m very proud of the team. It was a great win,”

said West Virginia head coach Mike Carey. “I’ve said it for the last two days. We just needed to keep it close at the end of the game.”

WVU was led by Bussie, who scored 21 points while grabbing five rebounds and blocking three shots. Bria Holmes chipped in with 12 points, including going 3-for-4 from 3-point range.

“I’m so happy for these

young ladies,” Carey said. “These girls understand what it takes to win at this level. Your whole career, you want to win a cham-pionship, and we’re right there if we can win (these next few games).”

Kansas, who also upset Baylor earlier in the sea-son, dropped four straight games and are coming off an 87-79 loss against Iowa State. The Jayhawks are led by junior forward Chelsea

Gardner, who averages 16.8 points per game.

“I hate to be the downer, but we have to play (well) against Kansas,” Carey said. “It’s a quick turn-around in two days. The (Baylor win) means noth-ing if we can’t win that game.”

WVU trails 3-2 in the se-ries all-time, dating back to December 1992.

Alvarez, Martin homer as Pirates top Red Sox

WVU’s win over Baylor a historic featWhile Mountaineer fans

may have been shocked at the result of Sunday’s game against Baylor, for the newly No. 7 West Vir-ginia women’s basketball team, it was the result they expected. This team is cen-tered on one goal – one that started as soon last season ended.

For the seniors on this year’s team, their jour-ney began after they were knocked out of the first round in the NCAA tourna-ment by Delaware. Senior guards like Brooke Hamp-ton and Christal Caldwell traded in beaches for hard-wood during the summer to make sure they were set up for success. Center Asya Bussie put in two years of work to get her team in their current position.

To be in contention for the Big 12 Conference title, West Virginia had to enter a hostile environment in the Ferrell Center, where Baylor had won 35 straight conference games. Before leaving for Waco, Texas, head coach Mike Carey said his team had noth-ing to lose, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Carey said that because he knows how to motivate his team and knows his team would respond by playing inspired basketball.

The win solidified West Virginia as a contender for the women’s national title and may have even vaulted Carey’s name into the Coach of the Year conversation.

I believe West Virgin-ia’s 71-69 victory over the Lady Bears is the most im-portant win from a WVU team since Dana Hol-gorsen guided the Moun-taineers to a victory in the Orange Bowl in 2012. And the best part is this season isn’t even close to being finished. Every game the Mountaineers play from this point on will become more and more important.

A Big 12 championship is great, but Carey has his sights on a larger prize. His mentality is perfectly por-trayed in a picture that was taken right after the buzzer sounded. Averee Fields embraced one of her team-mates while the rest of her team jumped up in celebra-tion, but where is Carey? He was on the sideline, by himself, with no smile on his face. The win may have felt great, but Carey’s team is now in a position to do something for the first time in school history.

If West Virginia can han-dle Kansas on Senior Night in the WVU Coliseum, it will represent the first con-ference regular season title since 1992 when the Moun-taineers competed in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Even if Sunday’s win was the first time you watched this women’s team, Senior Night tonight is an excel-lent way to show this team and the five seniors who are the heart of this team the support they deserve.

The foundation of hard work and determination paved the way for Moun-taineers this year. There is a still a lot of work that needs to be done before this sea-son is a success according to their standards.

B R A D E N T O N, F l a . (AP) — Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin hit two-run homers off Brandon Work-man, who started in place of injured Jake Peavy, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Boston Red Sox 7-6 Monday.

Pittsburgh leadoff bat-ter Starling Marte reached on an infield single in the first that stopped an 0-for-9 start, and Alva-rez homered to right off Workman with two outs. Marte singled in the third, and Martin followed with a drive to left, his second homer in two days.

Workman gave up five runs and five hits in 2 1-3 innings in place of Peavy, the right-hander who ac-cidentally cut his left in-dex finger with a fishing knife last weekend.

Pirates starter Fran-cisco Liriano struck out three and walked one in two hitless innings.

Mike Carp, trying to win a bench job with the Red Sox, hit a two-run homer against Bryan Morris in the eighth.

STARTING TIMELiriano zipped through

his two innings on just 25 pitches. After giving way to Edinson Volquez, Liriano threw 10 more in the bull-pen before calling it a day. “I felt a lot better about my fastball command today,” said Liriano, who’s made two starts. “The sinker was a lot better.”

TRAINER’S ROOMPirates first baseman

Gaby Sanchez has not played since Friday, when he hurt his right knee while sliding into third base.

Tests showed no struc-tural damage, and San-chez took some swings in a batting cage Monday.

Red Sox manager John Farrell said there was no change in the status of Peavy. “He’s going to be pretty much day to day,” Farrell said. “We’ve got to be careful how much he sweats and be cautious

about any potential in-fection getting in there. That’s what we’re gauging everything by now.”

TAKING THE FIELDTravis Snider made

his first start in the out-field this spring training. Snider had offseason foot surgery and sliced his left hand in a kitchen accident a few days before report-ing to camp. He found out via Twitter about Peavy’s injury.

“I heard that I’m not the only guy who had issues with a knife this spring,” Snider said. “We’ve got to come up with some kind of glove or something. Freak things happen.”

Snider is battling Jose Tabata, Andrew Lambo and Jaff Decker for the starting job in right field. The Pirates hoped to make Snider their everyday right fielder last season, but he batted .215 in 111 games.

“It was good to get back out there and run around a little bit,” Snider said. “When you don’t play for a handful of months and then get back into it, there’s going to be ad-justments to make. I feel good about the work I’ve already put in. I’ll play a few more games, get some more at-bats and we’ll see where we’re at.”

CALL TO THE PENKoji Uehara and Junichi

Tazawa each pitched one scoreless inning.

Earlier this spring train-ing, Farrell planned not to use either reliever un-til about one-third of the way through the exhibi-tion schedule.

“They’re going to have ample rest between their outings,” Farrell said. “We still target roughly seven outings in spring training for both of them, so we can use the schedule to our advantage.”

Farrell said Uehara is a different – and better –pitcher than he was when he first was in the majors as a starter in 2009 with the Baltimore Orioles.

GYMNASTICS

Deal peaking at right time for Butts, West VirginiaBy Dillon Durst


With the Big 12 Con-ference tournament and postseason just three weeks away, junior gym-nast Beth Deal is peaking at the right time.

Arguably one of the team’s best beam work-ers, Deal posted the sec-ond-best score in program history with a 9.95 on the event Feb. 21 at the Per-fect 10 Challenge at Okla-

homa City.Against No. 22 Ohio

State Deal scored a 9.85 on beam, tying for second place.

The beam routine is without a doubt Deal’s strongest routine. The Parkersburg, W.Va., na-tive said the routine just comes naturally to her.

“It’s always been my strongest event and my fa-vorite,” Deal said. “It just comes easiest to me.”

Before enrolling at West Virginia, Deal was a three-

time Level 10 regional qualifier on the club level, and was also a 2011 Junior Olympics National Cham-pionships qualifier.

A two-time Level 10 West Virginia all-around champion, Deal captured five all-around titles dur-ing her career at the club level.

As a freshman in 2012, Deal was pronounced as the East Atlantic Gymnas-tics League beam cham-pion. Deal also earned EAGL All-Academic Team

and won EAGL Rookie of the Week.

Deal owned a season average score of 9.569 on beam that season, and her 9.9 performance helped the Mountaineers se-cure a victory at the EAGL Championship.

In her sophomore sea-son, Deal earned a beam season-average score of 9.725, ranking No. 2 on the team. She was also No. 20 in the Southeast region and No. 10 in the Big 12 on the event.

Deal said she credits her performance the past few weeks to her work ethic in the gym during practice.

“When I compete, I try to think about being in Cary Gym,” Deal said. “How I practice is how I compete during meets, so it tends to work out in my favor.”

After facing three ranked opponents at the Perfect 10 Challenge and beating Ohio State Sun-day, Deal said she be-

lieves the team has some solid momentum heading into this weekend’s meet against No. 1 Florida.

“I’m really excited to go against Florida,” Deal said. “I think it’s going to be a really fun meet.”

Aside from her numer-ous athletic accolades, Deal is also a member of both the Big 12 Commis-sioner’s Honor Roll and the Garrett Ford Academic Honor Roll.

Prediger earns air rifle championship at GArC competitionBy meGhAn CArr


Junior Maren Predi-ger earned the individual championship in air rifle after a slow start in the re-lay at the Great American Rifle Conference Cham-pionships Sunday in Ox-ford, Miss.

The junior earned a 593 in the discipline, one of her lowest marks on the season, but pulled it to-gether in the final, scor-ing 206.7 to bring home her first GARC individual championship.

WVU head coach Jon Hammond spoke after the championship about Pre-diger’s perseverance.

“You’ve got to hand it to Maren (Prediger) today,” Hammond said. “Despite her air rifle open relay, she got the job done in the fi-nal. That is a huge confi-dence booster for her, to be able to say that she is the air rifle champion in the conference.”

Prediger has been at the top in air rifle all season for the Mountaineers. She finished first eight times this season, the most of any player on this team.

The junior is averag-ing 572 in smallbore, 595 in air rifle and 1,166 over-all, staying consistent in all categories. Predi-ger’s averages improved from 2013, in which she finished with a 563.6 in

smallbore, 594.6 in air ri-fle and 1158.2 overall in her first season with the Mountaineers.

The junior joined the Mountaineers her sopho-more year and emerged as one of WVU’s premier rife shooters.

Prediger tied her ca-reer-best 598 air rifle, the team’s top mark at the team’s NCAA Qualifying Match in Columbus, Ohio in the 2013 season.

At the GARC champi-onships in the 2013 sea-son, Prediger placed third in air rifles with a 699.7 mark, Prediger shot a championship-best 597 in the open relay.

Friday night, the Peter-saurach, Germany, native earned her second career All-GARC First Team Air Rifle honor. Prediger was also named to the All-GARC Combined Score Second Team and took home the team’s Scholar Athlete Honor.

The awards were an-nounced on the eve of the GARC championship and the WVU rifle team took home 14 total honors.

“It’s always good to earn conference honors,” Hammond said. “We’ve had such a good season, so it’s nice to see the team pick up some individual awards, too.”

Sophomore Garrett Spurgeon earned three first-team honors. The sophomore earned first

team All-GARC small-bore, air rifle and earned combined score rec-ognitions. The confer-ence honors are the sec-ond career smallbore and combined score first-team recognitions for the shooter. In the 2013 sea-son, Spurgeon was named to the Honorable Mention Air Rifle Team.

Fellow sophomore Patrick Sunderman was named to the All-GARC Air Rifle and Combined Score Second teams and the All-GARC Small-bore Honorable Mention Team.

Junior Meelis Kiisk earned three honors Fri-day night. Kiisk earned All-GARC Smallbore, Air Rifle and Combined Score second teams.

Senior Daniel Sojka was named to the All-GARC Smallbore Second Team, as well as junior Thomas Kyanko. Kyanko also earned honorable mention in combined score.

The Mountaineers also brought the fifth con-secutive GARC title to Morgantown.

WVU now looks to the NCAA Championship where it will be vying for its second championship in a row and 16th overall. The championship will be held in two weeks at Mur-ray, Ky.

riley cautions still plenty of time until playoffsMIAMI (AP) — Miami

Heat president Pat Riley has a message for all the Miami Heat fans that are already looking ahead to the playoffs and a chance for a third straight NBA championship.

“Before everybody gets excited, we’ve got another 24 or 25 games,’’ Riley said at a Heat charity function on Sunday.

“We’re playing very well right now, but every day you keep ratcheting up what you need to do to get ready for what you know is going to be an incredibly competitive playoff. Right now, you have to keep in mind we have a long way to go.”

The Heat (42-14) will head into Monday’s home game against Charlotte winners of seven straight and 10 of 11. They still have

to wait seven weeks before the playoffs.

“Everybody thinks it’s right around the corner. No, a lot of stuff can hap-pen,” Riley said. “We’re in home-court advantage races, not only in the West but in the East. That’s not an objective.

“The objective, I think according to Coach (Erik Spoelstra), is that (we) stay on track with the defense and the rebounding, and I think we’ll be OK.”

Riley touched on several other topics during a brief meeting with reporters.

-On LeBron James: “The fact that he’s a con-fident player right now, probably the most con-fident player in the NBA, and it’s not born out of arrogance or born out of anything else other than the main thing, which is

winning. He wants to win. That’s all it’s about.”

-On Dwyane Wade, who this season has been managing sore knees: “Dwyane is an 11-year veteran and he knows his way around the block. He knows what he has to do to get himself ready. Again, I go back 11 years with him, and I’ve seen him from the beginning to where he is today. He’s a smarter, more efficient in using his energy.”

-On not signing former Heat swingman Caron Butler, who signed with Oklahoma City on Satur-day after being bought out by Milwaukee earlier in the week: “We love Caron. We reached out to him but he was very definitive with what he wanted and I don’t think it’s something we could have promised.”

-On 7-foot center Greg Oden, who has returned after missing nearly four years due to knee inju-ries: “He’s gone through a lot and I just cross my fin-gers, and knock on wood every day that he stays healthy. And if he does, he’s going to get better. And if he gets better then we’re going to be better. That’s why we brought him in.”

Riley also sounded content to leave the in-game decision making to Spoelstra.

“Look at me, man. I am full of vitality to have some fun,” Riley said while standing next to wife Chris at the team’s Family Festi-val charity event. “Six years ago, when I was coach-ing, I was waking up at 5 a.m. It was dark and I was depressed.”

KU’s Embiid to sit out rest of regular seasonLAWRENCE, Kan. (AP)

— Joel Embiid will sit out the final two regular-sea-son games for No. 8 Kan-sas so that he can rest a lower back strain that has already caused him to miss a game, and it’s possible the freshman center could be out through the Big 12 tournament.

Jayhawks coach Bill Self said Monday that Embiid re-aggravated the injury and that experts have told the team’s training staff that the best remedy is simply rest. An MRI exam taken on his lower back came back negative.

“We’ve made a decision that since we are so close to the postseason, we will re-evaluate him on Sunday,” Self said. “If the discom-fort ceases, he should be able to practice on Monday and participate in the Big 12 championship. If he’s still having symptoms of tight-ness and soreness, then we

will look at sitting him lon-ger through the postseason conference tournament.”

The Jayhawks, who have already wrapped up their 10th straight Big 12 cham-pionship, play host to Texas Tech on Wednesday night. They finish the regu-lar season Saturday at West Virginia.

They’ll have a first-round bye in the Big 12 tourna-ment, which starts March 12.

“There is no reason why he should not be feeling much better by the NCAA tournament,’’ Self said. ‘’The doctors feel that amount of time off should do him won-ders for how he is feeling.”

The 7-foot Embiid has been a revelation this sea-son, averaging 11.2 points and 8.1 rebounds despite only playing basketball for a few years. The native of Cameroon is expected to be a lottery pick if he declares for the NBA draft, though he

told The Associated Press in a recent interview that he’s leaning toward returning to Kansas for his sophomore season.

Either way, his ability to guard the rim – he’s already set the school’s freshman record for blocks - and cre-ate match-up problems in the paint will be invaluable in the NCAA tournament.

Embiid miss the Jay-hawks’ game against TCU on Feb. 15 with the same back injury, but came back to average 14 points and 10.3 rebounds the past four games. That includes a 12-point, 13-rebound per-formance against Okla-homa and a 13-point, 13-rebound outing against Oklahoma State.

“It should not be an in-jury that keeps him out the rest of the season,” Self said. “Last time he was off five days and that worked nicely for him, and he was able to come back 100 percent.”

Williams growing up in paintby connor murrayassociate sports editor

@connorkmurray

Freshman forward Devin Williams was a force in the paint dur-ing West Virginia’s 81-59 blowout win over TCU Saturday, registering a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

This was Williams’ first double-double since he grabbed 13 rebounds and scored 12 points against Oklahoma State Jan. 11.

“It feels good. I feel like I worked for it,” Wil-liams said. “My mom al-ways said, ‘What you put in is what you get out,’ and I’ve really just been trying to prepare (in) these last two or three games.”

In the 20 minutes Wil-liams played Saturday, he was able to stay out of foul trouble, only com-mitting two fouls. Wil-liams said that was a key in allowing him to make such an impact in the post.

“I actually got to play a whole game without fouling out or being in foul trouble, so I think that played a part in it,” he said.

Saturday’s perfor-mance was one of sev-eral high notes of Wil-liams’ freshman season. Although he lacks con-sistency at times, Wil-liams said he is learning how to become a more effective post player.

“What I’ve learned this year is probably just to

make your move as quick as you can, because ev-erybody on the team is there to help each other,” Williams said.

“If I don’t make that move quick enough, I’m just letting the defense reset itself. I’m just trying to adapt and make quick moves and be efficient.”

With the depth is-sues West Virginia has faced because of injuries and illnesses this sea-son, Williams has been placed into an important role early in his college career.

“It’s been difficult, es-pecially the role I have been playing this year. We’re down to eight players now, and the role that I was already given was big, but now being down to seven or

eight players … It’s really more demanding,” Wil-liams said.

Although Williams said he struggled some along the way in his freshman season, his mother has been a source of reassurance and inspiration.

“I’ve been struggling and going up and down, but my mom just told me, ‘You’ve got to find yourself, and the only way you’re going to find yourself is to stay fo-cused, stay prepared and stay in the gym,’” Wil-liams said.

West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said Williams’ effort in the second half Saturday made a big impact on the game.

“The difference in

our team is Devin Wil-liams played in the sec-ond half. He came out and rebounded the ball and played like a man. He scored it close, and it makes all the differ-ence in the world,” Hug-gins said.

With all of the prep-aration Williams put in this season, he said it felt rewarding to see his hard work pay off on the court Saturday and wants to keep this mo-mentum going into the final two games of the regular season.

“It’s been a long time coming. I feel good, and I want to move forward and hopefully get (a double-double) in Okla-homa,” Williams said.

CORY DOBSON/THE DAILY ATHENAEUMDevin Williams dunks the ball Saturday against TCU.

Yankees get past Nationals 4-2

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — David Robertson pitched a scoreless fourth inning Mon-day in his first ap-pearance as the Yan-kees’ new closer in New York’s 4-2 vic-tory over the Wash-ington Nationals.

Robertson hit his first batter, Danny Espinosa, then in-duced a double-play grounder by Tyler Moore to shortstop Derek Jeter, who fielded a tough-hop grounder. Robert-son is replacing ca-reer saves leader Mariano Rivera, who retired after last season.

“It was OK. ... I got three outs,” Robert-son said. “I would have liked to throw some better pitches, but I’ll get another chance.”

Jeter went 0 for 3, including a dou-ble-play grounder. He is hitless in seven at-bats over three spring training games. The Yankees captain broke an an-kle in the 2012 AL championship series and played in just 17 games last season.

Zach Walters hit a solo homer for the Nationals.

T R A I N I N G ROOM

Nationals: Out-fielder Bryce Harper, sent home Sunday with flulike symp-toms, is expected to play Tuesday against Atlanta.

“He actual ly wanted to come on the trip, but after yesterday I just told him to take another day,” manager Matt Williams said.

Right fielder Jay-son Werth, who strained his right bi-ceps while working out Saturday, will be evaluated Tuesday.

Washington re-lievers Tyler Clip-pard (back) and Drew Storen (per-sonal matter) are ex-pected to pitch in the next few days.

Yankees: First baseman Mark Teix-eira, limited to 15 games last year be-cause of a right wrist injury, hit against pitchers for the first time this year and hopes to play Thursday.

Teixeira went 2

for 4 batting right-handed in a simu-lated game, includ-ing a lined single and a bloop single to right that he jokingly called a triple.

“First of about 20 this year,” he said.

Teixeira, a switch-hitter, also hit two foul balls and missed a pitch during 12 pitches left-handed.

Manager Joe Gi-rardi didn’t rule out outfielder/des-ignated hitter Al-fonso Soriano (flu-like symptoms) from also playing for the first time Thursday.

S T R A S B U R G START

Washington right-hander Stephen Strasburg is sched-uled to make his first start Tuesday.

Strasburg, who had bone chips re-moved from his sur-gically repaired right elbow last October, is to throw two innings. The 25-year-old is 29-19 over four sea-sons, including 8-9 last year with a 3.00 ERA in 30 starts.

“We’re not go-ing to push him to three at this point re-gardless of his pitch count,” Williams said.

STARTING TIMENationals: Fifth

starter candidate Ross Detwiler gave up four runs, five hits and struck out three in 1 1-3 innings.

Tanner Roark, also in the mix for the fi-nal rotation spot, scattered two hits over two scoreless innings.

Yankees : Ivan Nova threw three hit-less innings, striking out four.

ANDY’S ANSWERYankees spring

training instructor Andy Pettitte arrived for a three-day stay and said he plans to stay retired.

Pettitte, who threw batting practice, re-tired after the 2010 season, returned for 2012 and 2013, then retired again.

“There’s nothing in the works,” he said.

Pettitte, 41, dis-cussed the an-nouncement last month that Jeter in-tends to retire after this season. The Yan-kees captain turns 40 in June.
