President John Lahey made a surprise appearance and speech at a Delsole Street party hosted by WiGo on Saturday.

Wherever WiGo, Lahey goes

By SARAH HARRIS and TARA O’NEILL

Eight years ago, President John Lahey banned May weekend from the Quinnipiac campus. That ban didn’t stop more than 400 students from attending an off-campus party on sponsored by the app WiGo, however.

The ban also didn’t stop Lahey from making an appearance at the party to give a speech and take pictures with students.

“And you guys are living proof that May weekend still exists,” Lahey said in his speech during the surprise appearance. “I love you

all, have a great weekend and stay safe.”

On Saturday, April 25, WiGo or “Who is Going Out,” an app used to make social plans on college campuses, held a party on Delsole Street in Hamden for Quinnipiac students.

WiGo came to Quinnipiac after the school made it to the final four in the WiGo Madness tournament.

Students poured out over the lawn and onto the street. The event was originally scheduled to be on Washington Street where WiGo student ambassadors live, but the party was relocated after Student Affairs reached

out to the students and asked them to not have the event, according to residents of the Washington Street home.

Seniors Connor McNamara, Rich Borek and Nick McCloskey then volunteered to host the party. They said they were surprised by the amount of students that showed up.

“We did not expect it to be what it was, we thought it was seniors only, and it clearly was not,” McNamara said.

Every neighbor The Chronicle interviewed said they did not have a problem with the party and spoke fondly of the resident

students.

“Let me tell you something, these guys are so good. Connor [McNamara], the day before, talked to me and my wife, and talked to us in the morning,” said Jose Vazquez, the students’ next door neighbor.

Former Student Government Association Student Body President Mostafa Elhaggar reached out to Lahey and invited him to the event at Washington, according to Kenny Pilanski, a resident of the Washington Street See WIGO PARTY Page 4

Panhellenic changes recruitment to Labor Day weekend

see what’s happening on award-winning website since 2009

POLL

Panhellenic sorority recruitment will be sooner and much quicker in the fall 2015 semester, according to Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Courtney McKenna.

Women interested in joining a Panhellenic sorority will be able to complete recruitment during Labor Day weekend, instead of having the process spread out over two weekends later in September, McKenna said. This change comes just two years after recruitment was moved to the fall semester.

The university used to hold recruitment during two separate weekends to get the three necessary days needed for recruitment without interfering with class schedules.

Holding recruitment during Labor Day weekend will allow it to be completed in just one weekend, rather than two, according to McKenna.

Carli Costello, the former chief recruiting officer for Kappa Alpha Theta said the one-week

hiatus in the middle of the recruitment process can cause unease for potential new members.

“Having to wait an entire week to find out if they are going to get asked back to their top choice [or choices] can be extremely nerve wracking,” Costello said. “Recruitment is supposed to be one of the most exciting weekends for potential new members, not one in which they are really anxious or worried.”

McKenna said when recruitment was held on two weekends, they had it on two separate campuses because there weren’t enough large rooms on either campus to accommodate all of the students.

But now that Panhellenic sorority recruitment will be held during Labor Day weekend, McKenna said recruitment can now take place solely on the Mount Carmel campus.

“Because we do it that very first weekend, none of those intramurals and none of those [gym and dance] classes have started yet, so we have access to use the dance studios, which we normally wouldn’t have access to,” McKenna said. “And we wouldn’t have to have two sets of

facilities staff working for two weekends.”

This change also means that the Panhellenic Council will not need to spend as much money during recruitment because they won’t need to spend money for shuttles to transport the members and potential members to and from the York Hill campus.

“We are trying to make it a more user-friendly process... I think it will be really good and really beneficial.”

– COURTNEY MCKENNA DIRECTOR OF FRATERNITY AND SORORITY LIFE Sophia Giuffrida, a junior in Alpha Chi Omega, said the change in location is better, but that having the event on Labor Day weekend isn’t.

“I think it’s better that it’s all on main [campus] because it’ll probably go faster and flow

The Quinnipiac Chronicle

easier,” Giuffrida said. “As for the three-day weekend, I don’t think it makes sense because it’s technically during a holiday and it’ll be a more hectic weekend.”

This earlier recruitment has one downside, according to McKenna: lack of extra time to inform potential women about recruitment.

“It does require the Panhellenic council, as well as my office, to think differently how we communicate to incoming students about recruitment because it is a quick decision,” McKenna said.

She said they intend to inform students and provide insight into recruitment during admitted students day and orientation, as well as through emails and social media.

The Panhellenic Council and McKenna decided this was a step in the right direction for recruitment because it provides a more complete experience.

“We’re really trying to make it a more userfriendly process,” McKenna said. “I’m very excited. I think it will be really good and really beneficial.”

protests end in Hostages killed in airstrike Baltimore destruction

Capitals down Islanders in Game 7

President Obama took full responsibility for the deaths of two hostages being held by Al Qaeda who were killed during a U.S. counterterrorism effort in January, according to the New York Times.

The hostages were Warren Weinstein, an American who was held by Al Qaeda since 2011, and Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian who was held by Al Qaeda since 2012.

According to the article, two other Americans were killed in another U.S. operation in the same region, though their presence in the area was not known at the time.

Evgeny Kuznetsov scored the gamewinning goal for the Washington Capitals during Monday night’s Game 7.

Kuznetsov scored the winner with less than eight minutes left to go, giving the Capitals a 4-3 series win over the New York Islanders in the Metro Division semifinal. The win solidified the Capitals a place in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

Game 1 of the Capitals/Rangers series is set for Thursday at 7:30 p.m.

Maryland governor declared a state of emergency Monday night and called in the National Guard, according to CNN. The violent protests led to buildings and cars being burned, nearly a dozen businesses being looted or damaged and 15 police officers getting wounded, the article said. This was a result of protests turned violent in the aftermath of the funeral of Freddie Gray — an AfricanAmerican male who suffered a spinal cord injury that led to his death a week later, sparking uproar about police brutality.

Grilling for a good cause

Student Veterans Organization hosts Operation BBQ

By MATT GRAHN Staff Writer

The Student Veteran Organization (SVO) organization held its second annual Operation BBQ to raise money for the Gary Sinise Foundation, which helps to build smart homes that have automated features for wounded veterans.

The event was held on Saturday, April 25 out on the Bobcat Lawn. There were food trucks and an all-you-can-eat pig roast.

There were also raffles, an inflatable basketball hoop, an obstacle course and DJs. SVO Treasurer and Navy veteran Eric Salas believes this year’s event was better than last year.

“Last year was our first time doing it, so we had to see how we did. So, we learned from last year and … everything is going smoother this year,” he said.

Last year Operation BBQ raised money for Operation Once in a Lifetime, which is an organization that helps with a variety of needs for veterans and their families.

Beta Theta Pi was one of the organizations that showed up to support the SVO. Sophomore Nicholas Manson, a brother of Beta Theta Pi, said the weather played a part in improving this year’s Operation BBQ. “[Last year] it was raining and no one showed up, but [this year] it’s beautiful, we have more people and it’s a great event,” Manson said.

Also helping out at the event was DJ and

So, to provide these services to Army. the men that watch our country and wave Felix was happy to partake in the event. our flag proudly is a rewarding experience,” “As a DJ, I don’t do a lot of these kind Felix said.

SVO President Zachary Peters, who is an Army veteran, feels a sense of pride in being able to help out his fellow service personnel.

Peters originally joined the SVO to find a sense of belonging in the Quinnipiac community.

“I found it hard to integrate with younger students, so I found it easier to make friends with veterans that are my age because I can relate to them,” Peters said.

Salas said SVO helped him return to civilian life.

“In the military, it’s a whole different ball game, and a lot of people don’t recognize it,” Salas said. “I was nervous about getting back into school and how I’m going to do with my grades. The SVO provides a lot of resources to help people study and I have nothing but good things to say.”

Peters said that the Quinnipiac community, as a whole, is supportive of those who have served their country.

“I went to a national conference in January and I was amazed at how many [other schools’ veteran groups] get the same support that we do,” he said.

In respect to support, senior and SVO Press Representative Rebecca Choubah recalls what she heard from the veterans in this group.

“I’ve heard from a lot of the veterans that they feel a lot more comfortable, a lot more welcome, and they love it here,” she said.

Speaking up for the misrepresented

Students propose diversity petition to university

By SARAH HARRIS Managing Editor

The Global Engagement Fellowship has created a proposal and a petition that will be presented to administrators this week that recommends changes the university should take when dealing with diversity and minorities on campus.

The university changed one of the core values from diversity to inclusion this academic year. The end goal of the group is for the university to focus on diversity again, rather than inclusion.

Three seniors, Italo Alves, Lexie Gruber and Emmanuel Laboy developed the proposal alongside the Global Engagement Fellowship, and will present it to Executive Vice President and Provost Mark Thompson and Chief Diversity Officer Diane Ariza on Friday, May 1.

“We want Quinnipiac University to be an environment accommodating of every student, regardless of his or her ethnicity, race, gender, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, or country of origin,” said Italo Alves.

The petition states that offers

“important solutions to improve the Quinnipiac University environment for students from underrepresented minority groups.”

The group has sent the petition around for QU students to sign.

The goal of the petition is to show Thompson and Ariza the support they have from students to make the changes the fellowship are recommending.

The proposal addresses a few events that the Global Ethics Fellowship saw on campus. The most recent event, Walk-A-Mile, was mentioned. It is a philanthropy event held by Alpha Chi Omega that raises awareness about domestic violence against women where men will put on high heels and race against other men. On the flier for the event, it questions “Are you man enough?”

The proposal states how this could be gender bias.

“The ad raised gender stereotypes, and considered only women as targets of domestic violence, which is not true,” according to the proposal.

Another event the proposal mentions is Kappa Alpha Theta’s Queso for CASA event. The sorority cre-

ated a flier with maracas on it and Gruber went to twitter expressing her concern of the flier being culturally appropriated.

The proposal also addresses a campaign poster created last fall by two freshmen running for class president, that had the two men sitting in a tub of colorful balls with the slogan “We have the balls to represent you.” The proposal says it is “gender-based stereotypical, basically enforcing that women were not biologically empowered to represent the freshman class.” Gruber went to Q30 with concerns of the flier being gender bias.

Some of the recommendations they list include creating a minority liaison position with in SGA, mandatory diversity awareness sessions for students organizations and Greek Life and a list of recommendations for the Department of Residential Life.

An SGA liaison would create more widespread events that include diversity-related issues.

“The SGA minority liaison will work to integrate all student communities across the university, bringing the perspective of underrepresented

groups to the table of discussions within SGA,” Alves said, “So that decisions are made and programs are created while taking into consideration their impacts on all communities on campus.”

There is a large emphasis on Residential Life in the proposal, which recommends the department should have more cultural diversity programs and more training on inclusion and diversity for Resident Assistants.

Alves is an RA himself.

“It is perhaps the department that most affects student lives on an individual level,” he said.

Director of Residential Life Jennifer Crane said she backs the changes the students are proposing.

“Resident assistants and hall directors deal with the ramifications of events that happen on campus as impacts on students’ lives,” she said.

Alves hopes the school takes the proposal into consideration.

“If the underrepresented communities are claiming that more diversity programs should be implemented, that means that they are not satisfied with the current environment.”

More than 400 students attend WiGo party WIGO PARTY from cover house and friend of Elhaggar.

Pilanski said that he was looking forward to Lahey’s appearance.

“We knew that everyone would love to see him and wanted to extend the invitation to him to show him our appreciation for all that he has done for us,” Pilanski said.

According to Ronald Smith, captain of the Hamden Police Department, the police received an anonymous phone call informing the department about a large gathering of students, cars parked everywhere and public drinking on Delsole Street.

Smith said Hamden police were on scene at the house by 2:07 p.m. but were unable to completely clear the party until 3:01 p.m. due to the volume of students in attendance.

“For three hours straight people were walking from every direction to get to this thing. It was like Woodstock, for the bro generation,” said Art Mongillo, a neighbor and Quinnipiac alumnus of the class of ‘95.

The event was one of the largest gatherings of Quinnipiac students, according to Lahey.

“This is the biggest crowd of Quinnipiac Bobcats since the Yale hockey game,” Lahey said as the crowd erupted into cheers.

Lahey attended the event, taking selfies and interacting with students as he usually does during this particular weekend. He gave a speech to the crowd that is now streaming on YouTube under WiGo’s account (Check out quchronicle.com for the video). The video was also posted to a well-known website TotalFratMove.com with the headline

PHOTO COURTESY OF WIGO

Students crowded the lawn of a Delsole Street house on May weekend. WiGo, or ‘Who Is Going Out,’ hosted the party after Quinnipiac placed in the final four of its WiGo Madness Tournament.

“President of Quinnipiac University Flexes Rich Nuts In Front Of Students At Wigo Event.”

Borek was surprised to see Lahey at his house the day of the party.

“I had just walked out of the house and I saw a dude in a suit, and I was like ‘is that president Lahey’ then I knew it was officially insane,” he said.

Most students were happy to see Lahey at the event.

“The love between Lahey and his students is very much mutual.

It’s means a lot to the senior class that he came out on Saturday,” Pilanski said.

Cassandra Bonenfant, a recent Western New England College graduate, attended the WiGo party and said she was surprised to see Lahey at the event.

“I thought it was awesome that the university’s president showed up,” Bonenfant said. “[My school’s]

president was cool but never made an appearance at a party.”

Lahey mentioned how he’d never heard of Delsole Street before this past weekend.

“I didn’t even know this street existed, I’m gonna have to buy all these houses. I got all of New Road and most of Whitney Avenue but I didn’t realize–you’re all kind of tucked away back here,” he said.

Lahey’s presence might have pleased students, but certain residents were angry. Hollie Schraeder, a neighbor down the road of the house, tried speaking to Lahey but he did not speak to her. Schraeder plans on writing an open letter to one of Hamden’s local newspapers.

“The neighborhood here is very established,” she said. “The students here are very behaved. I don’t understand why he would just announce something like that, it sounds inappropriate.”

Wren Kruse, a graduate of the Quinnipiac Law School was also upset by what the president said.

“It just seems really arrogant, and I graduated from Quinnipiac law school so like he’s shitting on his alum[ni] when he says stuff like that. And he should work with the community rather than working against them,” she said.

The event had food trucks, an ice luge and handed out WiGo clothing apparel.

Ben Kaplan, the creator of WiGo, said Quinnipiac is “one of our most engaged schools.” Kaplan’s vision for WiGo is to bring people together in real life.

“This event epitomized my vision,” Kaplan said. “I couldn’t be happier.”

The university declined to comment on Lahey’s appearance.

Opinion The underappreciated arts

TWEETS OF THE WEEK I think Quinnipiac is boycotting our behavior and making us live in our filthy elevators for the next few weeks @aglazewskii Alexis We survived #MayWeekend 2k15 #qu @Sully644 Jonathan Sullivan I need Jesus after this weekend... or an exorcism.... or both #MayWeekend @sammysweetyy sammy sweety A short list of things ill miss abt QU part 2: my uber driver, joy the cash register worker @ the caf, and ABP @rachel_elyse14 rachel You know you go to QU when guys have vineyard vines tattoos

As an interactive digital design (IDD) major and a fine arts minor, I am always looking for ways around campus to share artwork with others and be involved in the art community. But I have also seen how underappreciated the arts are at this school.

Although things are getting better since our IDD Mac lab is moving into the new Center for Communications and Engineering next year, we have always had a hard time getting into our IDD classes since the current lab is so small and can only fit a certain amount of students. Most people don’t even know our major exists.

KRISTEN RIELLO It’s disappointing that Design Editor our school is a liberal arts @kristenriello school, yet the “arts” are so neglected. Since a fine arts course is required for most students, you would think that more resources could be put towards the arts. There’s only one tiny room for all of the art classes and such limited supplies.

Think about beyond just visual arts.

Buckman Theater is so small, yet filled with such talented individuals. Don’t they deserve a bigger stage? It seems like left and right other programs are getting a new this or that, and Buckman Theater is just sitting there patiently waiting for its turn, unsure of when it will come.

In my experience with the art classes here, we have rarely been allowed to take out nice paper for our projects. Sometimes we have to use paper that is basically like printer paper, which obviously isn’t good to paint on. They frequently run out of paint colors like white and the primary colors, and there are very limited colors to begin with.

There’s no one really monitoring what is being taken either. This is discouraging for a lot of students who already feel intimidated and inadequate when it comes to arts. If students were given better quality materials to work with, I think that they would take better care of them and put more effort into the projects, therefore growing the art classes here. It’s definitely not solely the issue of better materials, but it’s student motivation in these classes. They go hand-in-hand with helping each other improve.

There are organizations here that keep the arts alive like Montage, which showcases student artwork and writing. A lot of the student media organizations are really good about supporting us design students and utilizing us to our full potential.

The amazingly creative and talented students are the ones who consistently try to show why the arts are important on this campus.

The truth is we aren’t an art school.

We all know that. But this school isn’t just meant for certain majors; it’s meant for the whole community. We are all different and unique, and our differences need to be celebrated, not neglected and pushed aside as if they are less important.

It’s sad that during my time here I probably will not see much change in the art programs, but I hope that future students will continue to support the art community I hope that I can make positive changes in the art community as well. I think it’s up to all of us designers, painters, creative writers, poets, drawers and supporters to keep the arts alive in this community.

ADVICE FROM ANDY

Spending the summer successfully

ANDY LANDOLFI Staff Writer @AndyLandolfi

It is with great sorrow — well maybe moderate (okay, without sorrow) — that I bid the 20142015 school year goodbye. All good things, like all bad things, must end — so whether the past year was memorable and unforgettable, or painful and arduous, I assure you it is over. I will say it again: It is over.

Feel free to either cheer or weep. I will wait.

Now that we have regained composure (and wiped away either the tears or the champagne dripping down our faces) we will endeavor to focus on more important things like our schoolwork and…

Oh, sorry: I struggle adjusting to change.

So what is there to focus on? How can you keep busy this summer? Let me offer a few suggestions.

1.) Keep up with the news: Attending Quinnipiac often results in a disconnect to everything else occurring in the world. Between classes, homework and campus events, staying wellinformed gets pushed to the bottom of most “todo lists.” So this summer — if summer classes and internships are not a time constraint — make yourself more informed; if you don’t understand the world around you, you will never understand the one unfolding in front of you.

Disclaimer: Stick to more traditional news websites; the Internet hosts a limitless amount of phony news sites that attempt to draw widespread attention by fabricating false or misleading stories. If you are uncertain, the New York Times is a reliable source.

2.) Sleep. And then once you wake up, sleep some more. The fall semester waits for nothing, and, when it arrives, you will wish you slept better this summer.

3.) Take a road trip. We dream of places to travel to, yet we often fail to actually go to these places. So this summer, grab some close friends, get behind the wheel, and go somewhere — it doesn’t matter where. Take a week off work this summer to journey along cracked asphalt; I promise you wont regret it. Before responsibility drowns us, before the real world captures us, before obligation impedes us, there exists a world to be seen — a world worth seeing.

4.) Whatever meets your fancy.

My final point — and my broadest point — is borne from necessity; the restraints of print-based word counts curbs the synthesis of a robust list of possible ways to spend summer leisure time.

On a final note, I want to thank those of you who take the time to read my weekly column — I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. Here’s to a happy, healthy, relaxing and safe summer; I hope it meets, and surpasses, individual expectations.

The best decision of my life BRYAN LIPINER Former Editor-in-Chief I truly can’t believe how quickly these four years have gone by. I still remember my first media summit and my first Quinnipiac Chronicle staff meeting. In August of 2011, I joined this newspaper in hopes of jumpstarting my career in journalism. With no prior experience, I was somewhat skeptical of what I was getting myself into.

And now, as I sit here writing my final piece for The Chronicle, I still think about the day I decided to join this organization.

I’ve often said that it was one of the best decisions of my life. But the more I think about it, the more sure I am that it was the best decision of my life.

The people I’ve met. The friends I’ve made. The things I’ve learned. It’s all invaluable.

So what advice can I offer in my final

piece? A few life tips feel appropriate.

First, get involved. And do it right now.

Quinnipiac has countless organizations that students can join. These organizations are there for us to help us learn outside the classroom and to meet new people. Take advantage of these opportunities. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a freshman or an incoming senior. Utilize these tools; you won’t regret it.

Second, don’t be afraid to make a mistake. Or several of them. College is a time to learn by doing. Mess up now, and you won’t have to worry about messing up later. This is the only time in your life where you’ll have the luxury of trying new things and taking big risks. Don’t let it pass you by.

Third, keep in contact with friends and family. This goes for everyone from freshmen to the class of 2015. If you’re away at school, don’t forget about your parents.

Sure, you may be busy and tied up with

schoolwork, but they’re why you’re here.

Call them frequently, even if it’s only for a few minutes at a time. And when you graduate, don’t forget about your college friends.

They’re why your undergraduate years were so much fun.

Fourth, as great as these years have been, it’s important to realize that this is not your peak. Cliché maybe, but the best is really yet to come. Set goals, and you’ll only go up from here.

It’s fair to say that I wouldn’t be where am I right now without this organization.

At some point during my sophomore year, I made it my goal to become editor-in-chief of this newspaper. Two years later, I accomplished my goal and then some. Put effort in, and the rest will follow.

How do I close a piece like this? The only way that comes to mind is by saying thank you. Thank you to everyone I’ve met through this organization over the past four years. I

couldn’t have been more fortunate to have been able to work with you guys. Chronicle members are some of the most dedicated and hardworking students on campus.

That’s one thing that will never change.

Just keep writing SARA KOZLOWSKI Former Arts & Life Editor I started writing for The Chronicle during the spring semester of my freshman year. A friend knew I was uncertain about my major, which was English at the time, and encouraged me to write for the school paper. I was hesitant, but today I am so thankful that I listened.

I gradually became more and more interested and involved in The Chronicle. I always liked writing, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it. I switched my major to media studies and then—eventually— switched to print journalism, which continues to be my major to this day. I’m glad I was introduced to The Chronicle because if I wasn’t, I’d probably still be lost.

I’ve spent so much time writing, editing and working for The Chronicle that I couldn’t even fathom it into numbers. I have no idea how many hours of work it would amount to, but I think that’s what makes it so special. It’s pure devotion. No one forced me to do it. And no one made me stay. It was

all me and my own motivation, my own free will to be a part of something bigger than myself.

The Chronicle is a lot of work. I think this is something that goes completely unnoticed by the majority of the student body.

Unless they witness it firsthand, people would never know how hard we all work to put out the best issue possible each and every week. Even when other people are preparing for midterms or preparing to go home for a holiday, the rest of us are working our asses off to make sure the issue is in good shape for publication the following week. I can’t really explain why we do it. It’s just kind of addicting.

What we do is art. That’s sounds really cheesy and stupid especially coming from me since I’m never sentimental about anything. But seriously, everyone who works for The Chronicle cares so much about what we put out. We don’t believe in publishing something that isn’t worthwhile. If we’re not satisfied with something, we stick with it. We stick with it until we’re pulling our hair out and wanting to scream, but we stick

with it until it’s the best it can possibly be.

That’s art.

I learned a lot from the Chronicle. Sure, I learned how to do a lot of technical stuff related to my major. Things like how to use InDesign, AP style, editing, communication, management and leadership skills, to name a few. But I also learned more important things like how to be myself.

In the beginning, I didn’t want to write because I didn’t like it when people read my work. In fact, I never even called it “my work” because I never thought my writing was good enough to be considered “work.”

It was always just silly things I wrote on a computer. Not quality. But The Chronicle opened my eyes and showed me that I was being insecure.

As a freshman and sophomore, I opened up the more I gained praise from my editors for my “work” and it was exciting. It made me come out of my shell and to be firm in who I am. Now I write and say whatever I feel like, as most Chronicle members may know (just read every wreck I’ve ever written on quchronicle.com).

All I can say is if you like writing then write. You don’t have to write for The Chronicle like I did if you don’t want. Just make sure you keep writing because writing will keep you company in times of loneliness. It will always be by your side, reminding you of who you are. I still don’t know what I want to do in life, but I’m sure if I keep writing, one day I’ll find the answer.

Hayles didn’t expect to work for Rolls Royce this summer; she had wanted to intern in the fashion industry. Then she saw Rolls Royce come up on a search engine for internships, and it was in her desired area of New York.

According to Roberts, Ernst & Young is one of the Big Four accounting firms, along with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler and Deloitte.

Seagreen Records is a local record label and booking agency that finds likeable bands and helps the artists record albums, EPs or cassettes. The company also distributes the music and books shows for the bands.

Based in Concord, New Hampshire, the coalition aims to promote legislation and provide services that will benefit victims of domestic and sexual violence.

Roberts participated in Ernst & Young’s leadership program and applied for this internship last summer. Early last semester, he found out he received the position for the New York City office.

Hammer’s job will mainly consist of working with the legal matters of the CD printing process and distribution, booking shows and running those shows.

Hayles will be a purchasing intern. Her work will involve buying supplies primarily for the engines that the company builds.

Her department will get a budget outlining how much they can spend on programs, engines and anything else.

“Someone who is a good purchasing intern tries to figure out the best way to spend that money more efficiently,” Hayles said.

As for advice, Hayles says, “Be aware of what’s out there. An internship is an internship. You are going to learn, no matter what.”

Internship:

Recently, Roberts was accepted into their Global Student Experience Program. In addition to working in New York, he will perform the same type of work at the London office for four weeks.

“I have always wanted to work in a big city,” Roberts added. “I’m excited about it.”

“I will be auditing companies on a team with other employees at Ernst & Young,” Roberts said.

Minor:

Hammer chose this internship because it is similar to the work he does for WQAQ, where he serves as general manager.

“This is what I want to do. The music business is huge and I love music,” Hammer said.

The hands-on experience, such as contract negotiations, will also help Hammer promote his own band.

“At this point in my life, personal experience is much more worthwhile than the money,” Hammer said.

“I want women and men who are attacked to understand that if you are walking down the street and somebody makes a comment at you, touches you, or whistles at you, that is sexual assault,” Cook said.

For her internship, Cook will be doing advocacy work. She will be going to the State House and presenting to committees to advocate legislation which will provide services for the victims.

“I’m a little bit of a feminist,” Cook said. “Once our society eliminates this culture of antagonizing women for their bodies, I believe gender equity in the workplace, politics and economics are soon to follow.”

Have your bagel and eat it too Dating app generates fewer, but higher quality potential matches for you

By KELLIE MASON

Associate Arts & Life Editor

As a young professional, dating is fun but it can also be stressful. You can only go to so many bars and parties to meet new single people. Coffee Meets Bagel makes dating easier for you.

Coffee Meets Bagel is an app that was created by three sisters, Arum, Dawoon and Soo Kang, who couldn’t find any dateable guys in New York City. They realized these fun people existed, but they didn’t know how to go about meeting and connecting with them.

The dating website launched in April 2012 and the app launched in August 2013.

When creating the name, the sisters thought about what part of the day everyone looks forward to. Most of the people using the app are busy, young professionals and everyone looks forward to daily coffee breaks.

And what’s better than coffee and a New York style bagel?

This app is not like Tinder, OkCupid or JSwipe. Coffee Meets Bagel gives you one “Bagel,” or potential match, each day at noon so you can focus all your attention on one person. Accordingly, their slogan is, “What’s happening at noon?” This app makes your lunch break a little more exciting.

The app is most popular in larger metropolitan areas like New York City, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, according to its website. Currently, Coffee Meets Bagel has made more than 25 million matches, according to creator Dawoon Kang.

Once you receive your Bagel, you have 24 hours to “like” or “pass” on them. Once your Bagel likes you back, you are prompted to start a conversation. You have eight days to have a conversation and exchange contact information.

A personal profile is the first thing someone sees when he or she receives a Bagel. The app curates four photos from your Facebook profile, a couple of headshots and a couple of full body pictures, but you can always pick and choose what you want others to see.

There are three written parts to the profile to showcase your interests. The “I am…” section lets you write three things about yourself.

The “I like…” section lets you describe three specific passions and interests. And the “I appreciate when my date…” section allows you to further explain your interests and what turns you on.

Every profile is reviewed for quality assurance. Your one match a day is personalized and picked out just for you

RAVE

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE/WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

based on sex, age, ethnicity and religion. Your personal information, such as your name, remain completely private. The algorithm chooses only the best of the best for you.

Coffee Meets Bagel asks you to authenticate via Facebook to pick out Bagels with whom you share mutual friends and to avoid matching you with existing friends.

Nothing is posted on Facebook unless you want others to know about your dating life.

The app even has its own blog. It gives tips and tricks from creating the best profile to ditching the date if it’s not going as well as expected.

There are plenty of success stories people share from using the app. A lot of the cute stories are posted on the blog and their Instagram account, coffeembagel.

“I think about the first couple who notified us of the fact that they are getting married,” Kang said. “They are in New York [City] and extended an invite.”

Kang said that it has been a challenge getting same-sex couples to try the app but a couple from Los Angeles has reached out after meeting. She is proud they are finally making it work for all people.

In order to reach more people, the app asks members to follow them on Twitter, tweet

about them and send text messages to contacts in your phone. The more people on the app, the more opportunities you have to meet cool singles in your area.

First black female attorney general

Sleepless in Hamden

After 165 days of waiting, Loretta Lynch became the new attorney general last week. She is the first black woman to serve as attorney general and will be replacing Eric Holder. Lynch graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School, has been a federal prosecutor and worked at several private law firms. She was confirmed 56-43 with 10 Republicans voting for her according to the New York Times. A close call, but she made it.

So why did it take so long? The Senate was voting on a human trafficking bill. You would think that if it has anything to do with human trafficking that the answer on what to vote on would be easy, right? Well, in this bill, it says that the restitution funds that traffickers give to victims wouldn’t have been able to be used for their abortions, according to CNN. It has absolutely nothing to do with Lynch, but a senator said he would not propose a vote for Lynch until the bill was passed.

It seems that most of the Republicans were wary of voting her in because of her stance on immigration that mirrors Obama’s plan to let 5 million undocumented immigrants stay in the United States, according to the New York Times. Refinery29 listed some of the policies she stands by: 1.

She’s actually against legalizing marijuana, unlike President Obama. 2. She’s not afraid to go after the law enforcement when it comes to police brutality; she has done it plenty of times before. I hope she won’t be remembered as the first black woman attorney general, but as a fearless leader whose decisions repair this country. ̶ S. Harris

It’s the last week of classes here at QU, which means finals week isn’t too far away.

With the endless amount of exams, papers, group projects and catch-up work to do, students forget the most important thing: sleep.

Many students put sleep at the bottom of their priority list, but doing so is extremely dangerous. If you forgo the doctor-recommended eight or more hours of sleep in lieu of over-caffeinated all-nighters, there can be serious consequences.

For starters, lack of sleep causes memory loss, according to the Huffington Post. That’s right: the information you stayed up until 6 a.m. cramming for is probably gone by now.

Sleep helps you store that information and be able to recall it more efficiently.

Second, sleep deprivation decreases your optimism, according to PsychCentral. This may sound silly, but going into exams with a positive attitude is half the battle. Also, you become less friendly, giving those group projects another reason to become difficult. Your collaboration and problem-solving skills will certainly be subpar if you’re running on too few hours of sleep. So much for that coveted A. Other scary side effects include increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and obesity, as well as a lower threshold for stress, according to the Huffington Post. Trust me, you’ll become a more productive finals week survivor if you leave time for sleep. ̶ K. Novak

Slavery in New Haven

New Haven police officer comes to Quinnipiac to discuss the widespread crime of human trafficking

By KELLIE MASON

Associate Arts & Life Editor

In 1850, an average slave in the American South cost $40,000 in today’s dollar. Today, a slave in terms of human trafficking costs about $90. Human trafficking is the illegal movement of people, typically for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.

On April 22, the Quinnipiac Catholic Chaplaincy hosted a presentation titled “Slavery in New Haven: Exploring the Local Dimension of Global Human Trafficking” as part of its Program in Engaged Religion’s Anchor Speaker Series.

Sergeant Jacqueline Hoyte, a 15-year veteran at the New Haven Police Department spoke about her efforts combating human trafficking in the city located only eight miles from the Mount Carmel campus.

“It is a crime against humanity,” she said.

Hoyte is part of a core group of law enforcement and prosecutors who deals with human trafficking cases. She works to show her fellow officers that these crimes are committed on their streets.

“These cases are not being tried or prosecuted locally,” Hoyte said. “Everything is always done on the federal level. We have such a huge problem and these cases are coming up everywhere in New Haven and we’re unable to or we don’t have the proper training to get cases prosecuted properly.”

About 150,000 children from the United States are exploited in prostitution every year.

Most victims are American-born children, a majority are runaways and as many as 68 percent to 72 percent of these youth have been involved in the children welfare system, according to The National Center for Missing and Exploited

By ALYSSA BROWNE

Children.

The trafficker can be a pimp, a boyfriend, a relative, coach, teacher or anyone who is in control over a minor, according to Hoyte.

“A lot of the time a parent is pimping out their children,” Hoyte said. “And the child will feel obligated they have to provide for the family.”

During the presentation, Hoyte showed about eight arrest photos of the same girl over a two-year period. She asked the audience to call out how old they thought she was.

The answers ranged from 12 to 15 years-old.

The audience gasped in shock; the girl was 12 when she was first trafficked.

Her appearance declined drastically. By the last two photos her face had no color, she had scratches and scars, a black eye, dark circles, dirty hair.

Living in this lifestyle, being forced to have sex, being beaten, raped and drugged can cause this kind of harm to the body, Hoyte said.

“Sexual trafficking of minors also includes street prostitution, which is becoming increasingly common,” Hoyte said. “Stripping can also cause sex and labor trafficking.”

People are now going online to buy sex from minors, Hoyte said. There are websites where girls will lie about their age to be trafficked.

Trafficking has also become popular in gangs and private parties.

“CSEC [Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children] arises through a commercial exchange in which one or more parties gain a benefit where a child engages in sexual activities to have key needs fulfilled, such as food, shelter or access to education,” Hotye said.

California, Texas, Florida, New York and Illinois have the highest number of reported trafficking cases, according to The Polaris

DESIGN BY HANNAH SCHINDLER

Project, a group that seeks to identify, report and eliminate trafficking networks in communities.

In Hoyte’s opinion, Connecticut can now be added to the list of states with high reported human trafficking cases. This state is a destination for runaways, Hoyte said.

If the victim is underage, it doesn’t require any proof they are being trafficked. It is assumed they were forced or coerced into doing a sexual act, Hoyte said.

“We don’t view the person being trafficked as the offender,” Hoyte said. “Most of the time they are afraid to leave.”

With the advanced training, the New Haven Police Department will now be able to look beyond drug offenses and noise complaints to determine whether a young person is being trafficked. Law enforcement will use the Urban Dictionary app to become fluent in the language used within trafficking rings.

About 600,000 to 4 million people are

trafficked worldwide each year, according to U.S. Department of State.

“Victims in Connecticut have included women from Latin America, Eastern Europe,” Hoyte said.

Teachers, businesses and transportation workers are also getting involved in the fight against human trafficking, Hoyte said.

This is known as community collaboration in New Haven.

“Sometimes we think of these events taking place in far off lands,” Quinnipiac Catholic Chaplain, Father Jordan Lenaghan said. “We think they’re taking place in Ukraine or in the Czech Republic. We don’t often imagine that these global problems that have social and ethical and moral and cultural dimensions also have expressions here.”

it to be, simply hit the “spy” button and the app will notify you when the price drops on all online stores with that item. MySaleSpy can be used for any sort of product, not just clothes. Doing this will save you money and time because you won’t have to track down price changes from other websites for yourself.

The next app, Closet+, allows you to plan ahead for things to wear by storing photos of everything in your closet. You can then categorize your clothes with tags like “color” or “in need of dry cleaning” to separate them. The app also allows those to track when outfits were last worn. You wouldn’t want to re-wear, would you?

Closet+ also lets you create a packing list for vacations or business trips. An added perk: you can do it on the go, instead of needing to be home digging through your closet to plan. This is the ultimate fashion app for people that crave organization and efficiency.

RackItUp is also an interesting app because not only can you organize clothes but also sports equipment such as snowboards, water skis, fishing rods or bikes.

The last app on this list, RetailMeNot, is a coupons app that will save you money at your favorite stores and restaurants. Their motto is: “We’re Out to Save the World (Some Money),” and that is exactly what they do best. Alerts can be sent to your phone to notify you when deals are nearby.

You can use the app at stores like Kohl’s, Macy’s and Bed Bath & Beyond. Coupons are also verified daily so you don’t ever get stuck in the embarrassing situation of being caught with a fraudulent coupon.

Overall, these apps are easy to use and very helpful if you like being organized and want to shop a bit smarter. If you want to update your summer wardrobe this year, try out some of these apps to save money and time.

Amp up your closet with apps

Staff Writer

Do you ever get sick of your old clothes and want to get rid of them? How about having so many clothes that you never wear all of them or even remember what’s in your closet?

If this is you, there are many apps you can download to help you with your shopping endeavors. Most of these apps have websites as well.

The first app is called Vinted, where fellow Vinties–yes, “Vinties,” or style-savvy people– can sell women’s clothes. The process is very simple; users take pictures and include brief descriptions of the items they wish to sell. Once something is sold, the earnings are transferred to your bank account. The Vinted app is only compatible with certain Apple products.

All of the clothing is pre-worn, but Vinted seems to have a good reputation with users.

“I am obsessed with this Vinted app. At

the rate I’m going, I’ll be selling my entire wardrobe,” @ken_z_quinn, a fan and user, said online.

Similar to Vinted, another consignment app compatible with the iPhone is Poshmark. Users can easily buy and sell women’s clothes based on their fashion needs. Like Vinted, items are added each day–that, yes, have been worn–but worn gently and with love and care.

Poshmark also gives you outfit ideas if you’re stuck and going to a big event where it is crucial to look nice. Oh, and get this: buyers can find brands like Michael Kors, UGG and Louis Vuitton for discounted prices they would never find at department stores.

There are also several shopping apps that can be used by both genders.

MySaleSpy, a website and app for your iPhone, can save you money while shopping online. If you see a pair of shoes, a shirt or any other item that just isn’t quite the price you’d like

Hearst signs with Arete Sports Agency

By STAFF REPORTS

Former Quinnipiac men’s basketball forward Zaid Hearst has chosen his professional representation. The Bobcats’ leading scorer in 2014-15 signed with Arete Sports Agency on Monday, Quinnipiac Athletics informed The Chronicle.

“I’m ecstatic because I’m not only starting a new chapter of my life, but I’m going to be getting paid for something I love to do,” Hearst told The Chronicle.

Arete Sports Agency was founded by Andre Buck, and currently represents clients such as P.J. Tucker, Tim Frazier, Dionte Chistmas, and Stephane Lasme.

“I am very proud of, and excited for, Zaid Hearst on his signing with Andre Buck and his Arete Sports Agency,” Quinnipiac men’s basketball head coach Tom Moore said in a statement to The Chronicle. “It is an exciting time for Zaid and his family, and I feel comfortable that he is in good hands as he begins his career in professional basketball.”

Hearst said that he is unsure where he

will be playing next year, but that he is sure he’ll be playing professionally somewhere.

“I don’t know when, but I will be playing in the NBA,” Hearst said. “It’s only a matter of time when that will be. This is only the beginning of a new chapter and I know I’m going to have to work harder than ever before in order to separate myself and prove who Zaid Hearst is.”

Hearst was selected to the All-MAAC first team this season, after scoring 18.3 points and 6.1 rebounds in 36.8 minutes per game.

For his career, the small forward recorded 1,610 points, 628 rebounds and 224 assists.

“Soon, my mother will get to kick her feet back and relax because she deserves it for everything she has done,” Hearst said.

“Nobody would have thought the boy from Bethesda, Maryland who rode his BMX bike around the city and played at Leland and Coffield Recreation Center would become a professional basketball player.”

Zaid Hearst averaged 18.3 points-per-game this season at Quinnipiac.

NICK SOLARI/CHRONICLE

Baseball has most wins in MAAC under Delaney DELANEY from Page 16 With a runners on first and third, Delaney sent the runner from first and Northeastern’s catcher Josh Treff reacted by throwing the ball to second base, forgetting about the runner at third. The runner at third immediately sprinted towards home plate and slid in safely

while the runner from first was safe at second as well.

“That is our style of play. Our approach is to be aggressive,” Delaney said after the 5-1 win. “Stealing runs is a big part of the game, those small plays are the difference makers.”

With a record of 11-7, Quinnipiac has the most wins in the MAAC. It’s difference-mak-

ing plays like this that have the Bobcats atop the standings.

With the way Delaney has been turning the program around, Quinnipiac has to look like a destination for possible recruits. And if they can get a better field in the future, it can only help.

To have the choice to play for a head

coach who has MLB experience, encourages his team to play exciting baseball and play for a program that has scheduled games against powerhouses such as Vanderbilt and Northeastern should be a no-brainer.

Only time will tell, but the future of the baseball program looks bright under John Delaney.

GAME OF THE WEEK

Softball sweeps Rider in doubleheader

By MICHAEL HEWITT Staff Writer

One day removed from being swept by the Iona Gaels, the Quinnipiac softball team (14-32, 7-11 in MAAC) swept the Rider Broncs (10-32, 4-12 in MAAC) on Sunday afternoon at the QU Softball Field.

Heading into Sunday’s doubleheader, Quinnipiac had scored nine runs in its last three games.

That issue rectified itself on Sunday.

The offense tallied a total of ten runs between the two games, providing more than enough support for pitchers Hannah Lindsley and Casey Herzog.

Despite the scoreboard indicating different results, Quinnipiac head coach Jill Karwoski said she saw “nothing” different in her team’s offensive approach.

“We just jumped on the pitchers better today,” she said. “Iona threw faster, so timing could have been a bit of an issue. Today the speed jumped down a little bit, so the adjustments were easier. But, our approach was the same.”

Heading into the seventh, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks, Lindsley toed the rubber aiming to finish her day with the complete game victory.

She could not finish the job, but Karwoski was pleased with her performance. “[Lindsley] was consistent against a good-hitting, scrappy team,” she said. “By that fourth

Turner: women’s ice hockey ‘moving forward’

By NICK SOLARI Web Editor

For Cassandra Turner, taking the reigns for Quinnipiac women’s ice hockey has gone fairly smoothly to date.

Turner was named the program’s interim head coach after former head coach Rick Seeley announced his resignation on April 9. She says that the first few weeks of her new position have entailed much of the same work she’s always done, given that she was the team’s associate head coach for the previous four seasons.

“A lot feels the same,” Turner said. “We get the opportunity to work with fantastic athletes, and a lot of the past few weeks has just been making sure our team is just in a good spot. We’re just doing the right things to move forward.”

Turner added that some of the minor changes have been some of the toughest adjustments for her, but that she feels as though she has a good handle on the situation.

“I think, certainly, there’s a lot of certain details and things that haven’t been a part of my job in the past that I’m still getting used to.

Like the budget, managing the team so much during the offseason and such.”

Turner said she’s relied on the help from others around the program, especially from assistant coach Paul Nemetz-Carlson.

“The support has been fantas-

The women’s ice hockey program is still searching for additional assistants for next season, but the first-year head coach added that it’s a process that will take some time.

“We’re making steps,” Turner added. “It’s important to me to make sure we take the time to get the right people in here, so it’s certainly not something you want to rush. Of course, we want to do things faster

rather than slower, but you have to take some time.”

The Bobcats named Cydney Roesler its 2015-16 team captain on April 19, which Turner thinks is the true beginning to next season.

“Knowing that everyone was really happy to have her as a leader was our first step of really pushing into next season,” Turner said.

Quinnipiac graduated only four seniors this season, and will return four of its top five scorers from a season ago. For Turner, the team needs to put more emphasis on

scoring and controlling the offensive zone.

“I love what we call Quinnipiac hockey,” Turner said. “It’s tough, it’s disciplined. We don’t allow a lot of shots and we possess the puck. The one element I would like to evolve is how we play offense in zone by allowing a little more creativity and adding a little more puck support to create more opportunities.

“That’s going to be the one thing that shifts a little bit. I think we have the personality to have that evolution.”

Turner has one larger goal for the team: consistent improvement in what she calls each “segment” of the season. She’s split the season up into thirds, 11 games apiece, and wants the team to consistently improve throughout the course of each period of time.

“Our main goal is to keep getting better in each third of the season,” Turner said. “We want to step out on the ice every single day and find ways to become the best hockey team we can be.”

And though she’s currently just the interim head coach, Turner doesn’t anticipate leaving her post anytime in the near future. “I’ve been here for seven years, and this is where I’d like to stay,” Turner said.

“I’m excited about the opportunity this year to be able work with this year with the team on the ice.”

The Titans are second in the conference in shooting percentage and man-up success.

Their defense is led by goalie Jason Weber, who leads the conference in saves-per-game, averaging 15 per game.

Quinnipiac finished second in the MAAC in scoring, averaging 16 points-per-game. The Bobcats featured three of the top five conference scorers in Michael Sagl with 46, Ryan Keenan with 30, and Brian Feldman with 29.

Since Feldman earned a starting spot, the trio have shown the ability to dominate games, as shown by their collective seven goals against Air Force in the regular season finale.

Quinnipiac’s defense, meanwhile, has allowed 12 goals-per-game, which is second most in the MAAC. The Bobcats will be tasked with holding Detroit’s offense at bay, which ranks second in the league.

The Bobcats play in their first round game against Detroit this Thursday at Marist College.

Women’s tennis wins second MAAC title

By ALEC TURNER Sports Editor

The Quinnipiac women’s tennis team won its second consecutive Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference championship on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Bobcats have punched their ticket to an eighth NCAA tournament appearance.

Quinnipiac opened up the MAAC tournament against the Marist Red Foxes and won 4-0. The Bobcats then faced Niagara in the conference championship, winning 4-0 as well.

Since the Bobcats have joined the MAAC last season, they are a perfect 20-0 against conference foes. Quinnipiac has swept its opponent in its last four matches.

Senior Jacqueline Raynor won the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player award for the second consecutive year. During the course of the tournament, Raynor won three matches for the Bobcats. The senior extended her 24-match win streak, adding to her record-

breaking season with 49 wins.

Junior Sophia Dzulynsky also won three matches in the tournament, including two in the championship against Niagara. Sophomore Sydney Young finished with two wins in the tournament, clinching the conference tournament with a singles victory to give the Bobcats a final victory.

Before the conference tournament began, Quinnipiac head coach Paula Miller won the MAAC Women’s Tennis Head Coach of the Year award in her first season as head coach.

The Bobcats also had eight All-MAAC selections, including five first team selections.

Overall this season, the Bobcats hold a 14-8 record. They currently hold a five match win streak and are winners of eight of their last 10 in the month of April.

The Bobcats have made eight Division I NCAA Tournament appearances, but are still looking for their first National Championship victory. Quinnipiac made the tournament last season and fell in the first round to No. 11

Baseball program headed for success under Delaney TYRELL WALDEN-MARTIN Associate Sports Editor @Tyrell_Walden

Forty games into his first season with Quinnipiac, baseball head coach John Delaney has already developed a winning environment.

After finishing the 2014 season at 1831 (12-10 in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference), former head coach Dan Gooley retired after 33 seasons with the program.

Ex-Quinnipiac player and Milwaukee Brewers draftee Delaney immediately took over following the season, being promoted from assistant coach to head coach.

Since he’s taken over, the baseball program has looked brighter after each and every game.

During his three-year tenure with the Brewers, Delaney was regarded as one of the top third-baseman prospects in the organization before he decided to retire, according to the Quinnipiac athletics website.

When Delaney made his return to the team as an assistant in 2013, he brought much needed professional knowledge with him. Any former player that has experience in professional sports has loads of information and wisdom to share. For Quinnipiac to have Delaney guiding the baseball team has been perfection.

On April 21st, the Quinnipiac baseball team won its 18th and 19th games of the season, tying and eclipsing the 18 win-mark from a year ago. With 12 games to go in the regular season, the Bobcats have the chance to further their quest for improvement.

When Delaney took over as head coach, it can only be assumed that he implemented the hard work mentality that won him “Hardest Worker Award” at the Brewers’ 2009 spring training camp.

The Bobcats have made a great turn around offensively this season compared to last under their new guidance, specifically.

In 49 games last season, the Bobcats drove in 201 runs, had a batting average of .247, an on-base-percentage of .332, a slugging percentage of .341 and 16 total home runs.

In 40 games this season, their improvement is easily visible. Quinnipiac has driven in 184 runs so far, has a team batting average of .266, an on-base-percentage of .347, a slugging percentage of .354 and a total of 13 home runs.

Delaney has the Bobcats taking risks offensively with the way they have been running the bases, which makes a large difference. Quinnipiac has stolen 57 bases and been caught only 22 times, compared to last season where the Bobcats stole 47 bases and were caught 21 times in the full season.

During the April 15 win over Northeastern, fans in attendance saw this first hand.

Delaney instructed his team to execute a risky double steal.
