Bill would alter college debt system ‘Pay It Forward’ plan would delay repaying to draw from income

By Jim Bach @thedbk Senior staff writer A group of state legislators is looking for innovative ways to make college affordable, and one bill could radically alter the way students pay for college in the state.

This state could join a growing number of others, including New York, Oregon and Washington, in considering implementation of a “Pay It Forward” system in higher education funding.

The model would deviate from the traditional way of paying for college — paying semesterly and alleviating the costs with loans and grants — to a system that would cost students nothing during their years at school but would be paid for out of their post-graduation income. The paycheck deductions would be about 3 percent and continue over the course of 20 to 25 years.

“The idea of it I think is phenomenal.

I think it could be transformational,” See forward, Page 3

After the University System of Maryland adopted amendments to remove restrictions on sick leaves, this university is using those changes to help shape its own policy.

Previous rules limited university system employees to 15 days of sick leave per year, time designated to care for ill family members.

The amendments, set to take effect April 15, remove that cap, granting employees pay during prolonged sick leaves and eliminating the previous six-month minimum required to announce an anticipated

leave. Access to advanced sick leave means that after employees use up all their accrued sick leave, they can continue to be paid while out sick.

“The USM is signaling its intent to improve policies, which clearly telegraphs to [this university’s] administration that this is the minimal standard we’d like to see here,” said Jeff Pittman, an American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees of Maryland spokesman.

The system’s policies mandate a required “baseline” that member universities must follow but can improve upon, Pittman said.

“We think we can negotiate a little more specific to this university’s needs, but broadly, we support the improvements to the sick leave policies,” said Pittman, who would not comment on negotiation details See USM, Page 3

Let them eat cake Love Your Body Month event teaches students to fuel bodies, enjoy treats

By Grace Toohey @grace_2e Staff writer It seemed like an oxymoron: an educational event programmed by dietitians that encouraged audience members to eat cake.

But campus dietician Jane Jakubczak said it was no oxymoron.

“Nutrition doesn’t have to be so judgmental and exclusive.

Nutrition should be a positive experience,” Jakubczak said.

“All foods can fit into a healthy diet — we just have to make sure we get the nutrition we need for everything that we do. And that certainly leaves room for cake.”

Jakubczak and dietetic student volunteers presented

“Have Your Cake and Eat it Too!” to promote positive ways for people to nourish and respect their bodies last night in Stamp Student Union. Cosponsored by Delta Phi Epsilon sorority, the Love Your Body Month event tried to break down some conventional attitudes about food to an audience of about 100 students.

“You think of food as making you fat. We’d like you to switch that attitude so when you think of food, you think, ‘food fuels my body,’” Jakubczak said. “You want to make sure you take care of your body, and you fuel it so that you live an optimal life.”

Senior nutrition and food sciences major Alexandra Raymond presented ways that students can appreciate what

Chris noronha, a HEALTH Works peer educator, writes a positive body image message during last night’s “Have Your Cake and Eat it Too!” event. sung-min kim/the diamondback the body does on a daily basis.

“It’s really, truly amazing,” said Raymond, a dietetic student volunteer. “Your blood travels 168,000 miles every single 24 hours — that’s a lot of work that your body’s doing, and food makes that possible.”

Kristian Kuhnke, a nutrition and food sciences major and student dietetics volunteer, compared the body to a car, emphasizing all the parts essential for the automobile — or

body — to keep going.

“Carbohydrates — they get a really bad rep still, but it’s not really necessary,” she said.

“They are your body’s preferred energy source.”

Student dietetics volunteer Carrie Bishop led students through an exercise while eating a Hershey’s Kiss. She first asked them to look at it, then unwrap it slowly, then smell the “sweet chocolate aroma” and finally place it on

their tongues and let it melt.

“Was that not the best Hershey kiss you’ve ever tasted? It’s important to stop and smell the chocolate,” said Bishop, a senior nutrition and food sciences major. “Just slow down, and just enjoy what you are eating.”

Raymond reinforced this idea of enjoying food by explaining joyful eating and healthful eating, a combination of what people want and what their bodies need.

“You want to think about the things you can add to your meal and not necessarily take away,” Raymond said.

Before the event concluded with free cake, the entire audience took the Eater’s Agreement Oath, pledging to recognize that the body needs food and to see eating as “a fundamental act of love and nourishment.”

Junior kinesiology major Ashley Brannan thought the event was a good reminder of

how to enjoy a treat.

“I think it’s just really good to remind everyone,” Brannan said. “It’s okay to eat dessert, it’s okay to enjoy it. If you take the time to enjoy everything you’re doing, you’ll never feel bad about eating dessert.”

But for Jakubczak, the event was more about impacting students’ long-term decisions.

“I really do believe that diets are dangerous, so if just one person out in the audience decided they weren’t going to diet anymore, that would make me really happy,” she said.

The media, Brannan said, tends to influence these decisions too much.

“I think there’s hope,” she said. “But I always think the media is always going to play a part, and every day we’re going to be pushed further and further down, and that’s why we have to come to these events to bring us back up to reality.” gtooheydbk@gmail.com

LGBT fraternity gives 13 bids in second recruitment

By Sarah Dean @thedbk Staff writer Thirteen students received bids Monday from Theta Pi Sigma, the East Coast’s first LGBT “frarority,” after the organization completed its second rush season on the campus.

“Coming out as being a part of the LGBT community, I really wanted to incorporate the two ideas, like family and LGBT,” said president Aubrey DiBello, a junior cell biology and genetics major. “So I got on trusty old Google and I was like ‘is there such a thing as an

FOAL From PAGE 1 is a part of the broodmare, or breeding, program that was reintroduced to the campus in 2013, in which mares are sent out to be bred and returned to the university to have their foals.

Bess, the mother ready to give birth a little more than 11 months after conception, was set up in her stable with heat la mps a nd ca meras.

Students and faculty kept watch via smartphones and computers until she went into labor. When Bess started showing signs of labor, the group ran across the street to the Campus Farm to assist with and observe the delivery, which Burk said went smoothly.

“I don’t know if I would say textbook, because it was almost better than textbook,” she said.

LGBT fraternity?’ because I really love the ideas of Greek life and what they stood for.”

DiBello founded this university’s chapter of Theta Pi Sigma last semester. An initial recruitment process brought 18 total members to the group last semester, and so this semester was a chance to increase its efforts. Recruitment was split across two weeks because of the snow days, DiBello said, but despite the delays, she described the rush process as “laid back.”

“You’re impressing us by your personality, by who you are,” she said. “You can just like come here and be you.”

The recruitment began with two information sessions, in which prospective members were introduced to the organization and its members.

“We tell them a little bit about us, what we stand for, introduce all the members and then at the end, if they have any questions, then we’ll get up, people will go around and talk, meet each other,” DiBello said.

Theta Pi Sigma also held an ice cream social and game night, where members got to know the applicants on a more personal level, DiBello said.

The week concluded with an event entitled “Sunday Siesta,”

where active members held short interviews with each participant through a speed dating process. “ We h a d a n a we s o m e turnout for rush week and I am excited for the semester ahead,” DiBello said.

The social group’s motto is “out of many, we are one,” DiBello said, and Theta Pi Sigma does “everything like a normal fraternity does,” including intramural sports, p h i l a n t h ro py a n d so c i a l events. Members also have academic standards they must adhere to, such as maintaining a 2.5 GPA. “Unlike the small groups

The group spent the entire night Feb. 11 waiting for the delivery, but when nothing happened, they were nearly sure the baby would come the next day.

The students watched Pax for a few hours after the delivery and said he was quick to stand up and nurse. He also spent some time getting to know his mother.

“They were a great match from the start,” Burk said.

She hopes four foals will be born on the campus next year.

“The foals have been wonderful for the college,” Burk said. “One thing I love is the sense of rebirth every spring. … The barn has this sense of excitement.”

The two foals born on the Campus Farm last spring were the first in 30 years, which gave students in ANSC 237: Equine Reproduction, a lecture-based class taught by Charlie Apter, the opportunity to observe the deliveries and

gain hands-on experience.

Apter, who along with a student helped deliver Pax, said the class not only allowed students to be present at the delivery but were also required to go out each day for two weeks to take milk samples that would help determine the exact day Bess would give birth.

Apter has been teaching equine reproduction for two years, and he said the experience of watching a real-life delivery is special for students.

Although students can always watch videos, “it’s just not the same as interacting with that mom and baby face-to-face,” he said.

Blocker is not one of the eight students i n Apter’s class, but she works directly with the mares and foals at the Campus Farm.

“It’s a really unique because we have this opportunity to have this horse to work with even though we are kind of in

an urban setting,” she said.

The broodmare program has brought attention to the Campus Farm and the equine program in the past two years, Apter said. Blocker also emphasized the campuswide interest in the program.

“It just brought animal science to more people’s minds, which is great,” she said.

On ly ma res l ive on the Campus Farm, so Burk will oversee a group of seven to nine students in Pax’s care and training at Equine Research Unit, the university’s broodmare farm in Ellicott City, where he will be trained and allowed to frolic in the pasture.

[through Pride Alliance], it’s more social, so that’s something that’s really lacking in the campus LGBT community: being able to socialize,” said junior nutrition and food sciences major Zoe Kresie, who attended the rush events as a prospective member.

DiBello was looking for social opportunities for LGBT students last semester when she learned about California-based Theta Pi Sigma.

“All of high school, I played sports, so I loved being on a team, and that sister-brother relationship on sports teams,” DiBello said. “I really missed that coming here.”

DiBello emailed the organization’s founders, who established the organization at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2005, about how to start a chapter at this university.

“Right now, at the stage that it’s at, you’re kind of leaving a legacy behind for the school, so it’s kind of like it’s bigger than just joining a fraternity,” said junior finance major Attom Oshima, who attended the rush events as a prospective member. “It’s more, especially because this is the first one on the East Coast.” sdeandbk@gmail.com

“For them to take out race is doing Jordan Davis a disservice,” Campbell said.

Carswell, the event coordinator, said Florida’s “stand your ground” law is “just another way to kill black men.”

Mike Mpamaugo, a sophomore civil engineering major and panelist at the event, said he can relate to Martin.

“I can identify with it, walking to 7-Eleven to get candy,” he said. “I do it every day, and when I saw it, I said, ‘That could be me.’”

Campbell and Carswell both made personal testimonies to the existence of racism today. Campbell referenced a noose hung on a tree outside of the center in September 2007.

The Pay It Forward model would sustain itself in the long term, Reznik said, as graduates paying into the s y s te m wo u l d b e c o ve ri n g t h e c o s t fo r c u r re n t undergraduates.

The bill would not implement t he Pay It For wa rd system if passed, but it would authorize and require the University System of Maryland to study the impact and feasibility of moving toward this type of program.

“It’s a great, innovative idea in order to make college more affordable for everyone,” Del. Alonzo Washington (D-Prince George’s said. “Maryland has worked extremely hard to keep tuition down here, in the state of Maryland, in our public universities, but I think we can do more.”

Reznik said that with a Pay It Forward program, students are free to opt out and pay for college by traditional means, but t he proposed system could help keep students from graduating college with a high debt burden.

“You don’t have to have this burden sitting in the back of your head about, ‘How am I going to make my student loan payment?’” Reznik said.

H o w e v e r, t h e P a y I t Forwa rd system is a mbitious, supporters and opponents said, and has yet to be implemented anywhere in the country.

The biggest concern is the financial implications of starting this type of program, Reznik said, and while the program could be innovative, “the financial questions are huge.”

This program is “not easy to i mplement or cheap to implement,” Reznik said, “Because there are huge upfront starting costs, if you can imagine, because that first group of students or first several groups of students that go into school, there’s nobody paying into the system behind them.”

The University System of Maryland, which ultimately would be tasked with studying the impacts of a shift to a Pay It Forward model, is skeptical of making such a drastic change.

P.J. Hogan, the university system’s government relations vice chancellor, said that while it sounds like a great idea, the initial costs are exorbitant.

Hogan, however, said despite the concerns about costs and a complicated implementation, he wouldn’t be averse to the system studying what the impacts and challenges would be, as the bill only looks at green-lighting a s t u d y, n o t o u t r i g h t implementation.

In October, as a model for this program was fi rst discussed in the Oregon state legislature, 11 education organizations includ i n g t he A F L-CIO, The Education Trust, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and the American Federation of Teachers, came out in opposition to the idea, arguing that it does nothing to reduce the cost of college or the trend of states cutting higher education funds.

“This legislation puts an additional burden on individual students, reinforcing the concept of higher education as an individual transaction separate from the community,” a statement by the coalition said.

STAFF EDITORIAL

early every facet of transportation around this university — from the Department of Transportation Services, to Route 1 traffic, tickets and on- and offcampus parking have earned student complaints for years.

This editorial board has frequently echoed the frustrations voiced in the university community by those simply fed up with parking woes, fed up with fines and fed up with bottleneck traffic on the Route 1 corridor.

While fines and traffic likely will remain points of contention for years to come, the College Park City Council has chosen to address one aspect of the parking: Residents, visitors and members of the university community can now pay for parking using smartphone application MobileNOW!.

The City Council approved the three-year exclusive license for pay-by-cell parking services Feb. 11, bringing a similar mobile payment option to those already offered in Washington and — as of October — at this university to 13 city pay stations. The electronic service could be implemented as soon as this summer, and if all goes well, it could grow to cover the city’s more than 300 metered parking spaces.

In a rare example of the City Council receiving something for

MATT SCHNABEL

nothing, the deal comes free of cost. Though the app’s users will be charged 35 additional cents per transaction, it’s understood that increased convenience must come at a price.

OUR VIEW

The City Council’s decision to add electronic parking payment with MobileNOW! is the right move.

Moreover, users will receive follow-up text reminders about meter time that likely will save them money in the long run. Though this editorial board has condemned fee increases affecting students in the past, those parking at pay stations will still have the option of paying in the traditional manner, so drivers can determine for themselves whether the extra 35 cents is worth it.

The deal’s timeliness also deserves commendation. Washington introduced its Parkmobile payment service in July 2011, and this university followed suit less than five months ago. Though it’s conceivable the city’s plans to expand MobileNOW! services could fall through, the move nonetheless points toward

the city’s commitment to improving its infrastructure.

As with recent council talks regarding undergrounding city utilities, the addition of electronic parking payment services offers a significant — albeit far less expensive — means of making the city more attractive to commuters and visitors of all stripes. As part of an anticipated Route 1 redesign, the MobileNOW! deal might not seem vital, but it’s far from inconsequential. Pay-by-cell parking services eliminate one more headache for university faculty, staff and students as well as residents in the constant battle against parking tickets, a benefit that can’t be measured in quarters, dimes and nickels alone.

“Everyone nowadays has phones, cellphones, iPads, smartphones, so it makes sense,” District 1 Councilman Fazlul Kabir said Feb. 18. “We are not taking away any option. We are just adding more options.”

We’re inclined to agree. It’s not too often the university community gets to have its cake and eat it too, and the MobileNOW! app’s optional convenience comes relatively cheap.

For this city — rebranded “a smart place to live” — pay-by-cell parking services are simply the next intelligent move in a continual strive to keep up with the times.

Bringing Muzak back CHARLIE BULMAN

make trips feel shorter and allow students to enjoy a relaxing respite from the stress of their daily schedules. Although the continuity and understated elegance of lyricless jazz offers many advantages — freeflowing instrumental tracks are easily looped and supply a coherent sound to listeners arriving later in the song — this university’s elevator tunes needn’t be limited to Muzak.

Starting from the bottom up would grant students unparalleled input to sounds during their rides. Elevator speakers could air this university’s own radio station, WMUC, offering the low-profile outfit more visibility and stimulating greater interest in studentproduced programming.

Other options include creating an Internet repository that could feed different tracks to elevator speakers based on the time of day. Students’ submissions would be aggregated, sorted by genre and played at the appropriate hour. Lighter, jazz-infused beats would be eclipsed by heavier sounds as the day wore on. At worst, passengers would experience an eccentric twist to the usual monotony of their rides.

Co n s i d e r i n g t h e co n s i s te n t growth of our tuition, it’s unlikely that many students would opt to add to their bill in exchange for smoother trips. Therefore, the viability of Muzak would ultimately depend on identifying frivolous university expenditures that it can replace. For instance, the scores of $4,500 televisions decorating campus dining halls have been singled out as an overly extravagant alternative to markers and erase boards. Choosing against refurbishing or replacing those glorified menus when their time inevitably comes could open the door to a university-pioneered Muzak resurgence.

We’ve all suffered the misfortune of slipping into an elevator with a stranger. This tedious ritual — practiced in dorms, apartments and academic buildings throughout the campus — is all too familiar. After pressing the button for his or her floor, Person A asks for a riding mate’s destination. Person B indicates the floor, muttering a compulsory thankyou under his or her breath.

Sometimes, elevator buddies exchange empty small talk. But more often than not, the inhabitants of these dungeons stare straight forward as the elevator slowly inches up or down.

Fortunately, awkward silence can’t arise without, well, silence.

I’ve eased the discomfort of many less-than-ideal social situations by inconspicuously sliding a headphone into one ear. This university could take the edge off the thousands of elevator rides students, faculty and staff experience each day by turning to a time-tested antidote for awkwardness: elevator music.

Sometimes known as Muzak, elevator music emerged as a distinct genre of instrumental jazz in the 1920s intended to soothe the psyches of passengers unfamiliar with the new method of vertical transportation. The smooth, lyricless beats offered riders a pleasant distraction from the uneven movements of the shifting conveyor. While elevator hysteria has waned over the years, elevator music still could distill the awkwardness that suffuses cars in its absence.

Installing elevator speakers campuswide would offer many Charlie Bulman is a sophomore advantages: it would ameliorate government and politics major. He can tensions between passengers, be reached at cbulmandbk@gmail.com.

Overcoming the desire not to eat MARIA ROMAS “Damn, that girl needs to eat a burger.”

It’s Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and I can’t count how many times I have already heard that phrase. Not only is it incredibly rude and presumptuous, but saying this to or about someone may in fact be incredibly detrimental to his or her health — or even the health of the person you are gossiping with.

I have known too many girls struggling with eating disorders. I have had many of my close friends come to me, admitting their struggle of fighting to win over the monster that is anorexia, bulimia or lesser known disorders. These women seem happy. Yet on the inside, they are going though so much turmoil, it’s hard to believe. Unfortunately, in today’s society, it’s not uncommon to have an eating disorder. According to The Renfrew Center Foundation for Eating Disorders, about 24 million people in the United States suffer from an eating disorder. So when you say insensitive things to your friends, you never know who could be listening and who could take what you say to heart.

A couple of years ago, I took dieting to an extreme. After I packed on my so-called Freshman 15, I couldn’t

figure out how to lose weight without doing what parents and teachers always told me not to do — starve myself. I had days where I didn’t eat anything but some carrots. Eating was on top of my list of things that were making me unhappy, because it made me feel fat.

It didn’t help that I was struggling with other mental health issues at the time, and couldn’t think straight enough to organize a healthy way of getting fit or thinner. I wanted a quick and easy fix for my predicament — and choosing not to eat gave me direct power over at least that portion of my life, something I was fighting to gain in other aspects.

So I got skinny.

And everyone told me how great I looked. Whenever I received a compliment about my looks, I beamed with happiness. When someone told me to go eat a burger, I took it as a sign that I was doing something right. But I also became truly mean — I snapped at everyone around me, and didn’t feel like caring about anyone else but myself. It took a little bit of help, but I slowly began to see what not eating was doing to me and those around me. And slowly, I figured out a healthy way to live and eat.

Whenever I feel like I have gained weight, I still consider how easy it would be to just stop eating. Food and I sometimes have a very contentious relationship, because often,

after eating one fattening food, it’s easy to eat more. Then it’s just as easy to get angry at that food’s effect on your body and refuse to eat it out of spite. But the problem really is that I love food — especially food that’s not good for me. I would much rather order a big dish with carbs and meat than a salad at a restaurant. I don’t like to cook, and much of the food that’s good for you can take time and planning to prepare. Eating is truly hard when you’re expected to look a certain way.

But the worst part is that I know I’m not the only one who has these problems. A lot of the time, I don’t even consider my fight with food a problem at all because I know people who are having a harder time grappling with their disorder. And that’s why I know that it’s not a choice to “just eat a burger” or for some to “stop throwing up.”

People develop eating disorders because they want to look a certain way, when really we should all be accepting of one another’s body types, shapes and sizes. If we can find a way to teach people that while growing up, maybe we won’t have so many girls with so many different harmful methods of molding themselves into what others deem “pretty.”

trap. Sure, they have much better food at reasonable prices, but think about how much worse you’ll feel when your next meal is back at the dining hall. Is having a single good meal really worth the week of sadness that will follow? No, it isn’t.

Fourth, always go to the dining hall at exactly dinnertime. Dinnertime is the best time to be in a dining hall. The food is more hastily prepared. You’ll end up sitting at a table with — and possibly befriending — complete strangers. You, and the 20 people in line in front of you, get to watch nostalgically as some poor freshman spends 10 minutes figuring out how to order a sandwich. Though there will be many meal options — too many, in my opinion — each of the options will have a long line, so you can feel confident you’re not alone in making your particular dinner selection.

Finally, and this is crucial, never be courteous to the dining hall staff.

Sure, they work long days, but that’s no excuse for the terrible food they sometimes serve. Each and every staff member is individually accountable for the quality of the food they serve, whether or not they make it.

You might be tempted to be friendly — they are human beings, technically — but do your best to stifle this weakness. Staff members will only learn to be better if we punish them for each and every mistake they make — that’s simple science.

If you follow these steps, I guarantee you will have the most proper college dining plan experience possible. You will enjoy every meal, no matter how much you overpaid for it. Your dining plan is a significant element of your college life — be sure to always make the most of it.

Managing a dining plan is one of the most difficult tasks students face at this university. There are so many kinds of points; the hours constantly change, and the menu options are always in flux. Even though I’m in my eighth semester of having a meal plan, I’ve only just figured out how to make my meal plan work for me. To save you the time and agony, here is my experience-tested method for making the most of your dining points.

First, save all your dining points for the end of the semester. Finals week is the best time to spend your extra dining points.

Adele’s will be extra crowded, so you’ll get to spend three quality hours waiting in line with your 20 friends. The dining halls will basically have only pizza left, and what’s better than a week of eating nothing but pizza? And if you don’t end up using all your points, the extras will go back to Dining Services, who you can trust will use the money to make everyone’s dining experiences better in the future.

Second, spend almost all of your Terp Bucks at the beginning of the semester. Get toilet paper, school supplies, drinks and those eccentric organic snacks that cost way too much. That way, you won’t have to worry about figuring out where to get food toward the end of the semester — you won’t have any other options. The sooner you run out of Terp Bucks, the sooner you can enjoy the worry-free life of eating every meal, every day, at the dining halls.

Third, never go to 251 North, Ezra Fishman is a senior accounting Seasons 12, or any of the special and finance major. He can be reached “taste of” meals. These are all a at efishmandbk@gmail.com.

Always willing to pick yourself up when you fall, you are certain to learn from your experiences in ways that others may not, and this will give you certain advantages in life -- tenacity and longevity, to name only two. You are able to outlast many others in your pursuit of achievement and success.

FACEOFF | SPACE JAM 2

jam session or waste of space?

Rumors have swirled that a sequel to the ’90s smash kids’ movie Space Jam is in the works, potentially starring LeBron James — but is making Space Jam 2 even worth it?

NO: SPACE JAM IS ACTUALLY NOT A GOOD MOVIE

YES: IT WOULD BE ANOTHER FUN DOSE OF NOSTALGIA

By Dustin Levy @DustinBLevy Staff writer It was the movie that had 5-year-olds reciting R. Kelly lyrics.

Space Jam, which ingeniously combined ’90s NBA stars with the antics of the Looney Tunes in 1996, reverberates with a generation whose parents would constantly pop in the Space Jam VHS to keep their children entertained.

Oddly, a Deadline report of an alleged sequel was met with virulence on social media from those who grew up with the movie. Fans contended the film, possibly starring LeBron James, would harm the sanctity of the original, in which Michael Jordan plays basketball with cartoons.

Space Jam 2 would not only revisit the campy joy of the original, but it would also introduce a whole new generation to the lighter side of the NBA. James was linked to the sequel rumblings, and it’s easy to see why — he is the face of the NBA, much as Jordan was at the time of Space Jam. If James balks, the considerably more likable Kevin Durant would make a fine addition to the Tune Squad, especially considering his acting experience in the essential children’s basketball movie Thunderstruck.

But more importantly, Space Jam 2 would be a return to movie screens for the Looney Tunes. The Muppets have experienced a resurgence with The Muppets in 2011 and the upcoming Muppets Most Wanted. Additionally, TeenNick has capitalized on nostalgia by airing ’90s children’s shows in its “’90s Are All That” programming block. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and the rest of the gang are long overdue

to endear themselves to audiences once again.

A Space Jam sequel, more than anything else, creates a possibility to update the film. The cameos alone serve as reasons to produce Space Jam 2 — Jordan’s presence is all but necessary; Bill Murray must appear because he’s Bill Murray; and Wayne Knight — well, what else could he possibly be doing?

Another incentive for the sequel is its crucial inclusion of NBA stars. Space Jam included the talents of Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. Whom will Space Jam 2 enlist? Kobe Bryant? Derrick Rose?

The sequel could even improve upon the one major mistake of the original: not embracing the undeniable hilarity of Shaquille O’Neal, who instead regrettably starred in Kazaam the same year Space Jam was released.

The Space Jam soundtrack was another main contributor to the film’s sacredness. It’s hard to top Seal’s “Fly Like an Eagle” and the iconic Space Jam theme song, but it’s fun to imagine what the sequel will feature. A Kanye track? A Pitbull tune? An “I Believe I Can Fly” reprise? The possibilities are endless.

Space Jam grossed $90 million domestically and $230 million overseas, making it the highest grossing basketball movie of all time, according to Box Office Mojo. It’s hard to imagine a sequel not having the same success. Even if Space Jam 2 is a horrible trainwreck, which some would argue the original turned out to be, the results would be undeniably entertaining. But more likely, a Space Jam sequel would reinvigorate the memories of a ’90s staple that had children everywhere believing they could fly like Michael. dlevydbk@gmail.com

By Robert Gifford @rcgiff Senior staff writer This weekend, the Internet was abuzz with rumors that LeBron James had been cast in a sequel to 1996’s Space Jam. Regardless of whether this development is true — James’ camp insists he hasn’t signed on, while Warner Bros. insists the film is happening — the idea was catnip to anyone who had seen and loved the original film as a child.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. As a kid growing up in the ’90s, I thought the idea of the world’s foremost athlete teaming up with some of the world’s most popular cartoon characters was simply irresistible, especially when combined with a killer soundtrack (R. Kelly classic “I Believe I Can Fly” debuted with the film) and cameos from a host of NBA greats. At the time, it seemed like the coolest thing in the world — and it’s easy to remember it that way.

But nostalgia can cloud reality, too. Some kids’ movies age remarkably well — the films of Pixar, golden-era Disney and Hayao Miyazaki, to name a few, remain immensely watchable into adulthood and will likely never lose their status as classics.

Space Jam is not one of those movies.

Rife with product placement — the film more or less functions as a 90-minute ad for Nike and McDonald’s — shoddy animation, lame gags only the prepubescent could enjoy and an absolutely miserable-looking

Bill Murray (who’s obviously just there for a paycheck in the nadir of his career), Space Jam kind of sucks. In retrospect, it’s easy to see why parents groaned at the prospect of sitting through yet another viewing.

What’s more, the film is an affront to the legacy of Looney Tunes — which, unlike Space Jam, is one of those forms of children’s entertainment whose genius is evident even into adulthood. Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Frank Tashlin and the other minds behind the original Merrie Melodies infused their short films with an anarchic, subversive spirit and worked opera, mythology, drag, corporate satire and existentialism into their five-minute cartoon shorts.

They undoubtedly would have hated their creations being used to sell Big Macs.

Yes, Space Jam was an important part of my and many others’ childhoods. Yes, it’s still kind of fun to rewatch it with friends — especially with the aid of some liquid lubrication — and return to a place where the sexualization of a cartoon bunny didn’t seem at all strange. But don’t mistake nostalgia for quality — it’s the pre-critical simplicity of childhood you’re pining for, not the cinematic genius of the Monstars.

So leave the Looney Tunes — and the weary parents who would have to sit through 90 minutes of LeBron James pretending to be likable — alone. The world doesn’t need another Space Jam. One was enough. rgifforddbk@gmail.com

SOFTBALL

In program’s worst start, Watten stays optimistic

By Kyle Stackpole @kylefstackpole Staff writer The Terrapins softball team entered the seventh inning trailing Cal Poly 4-0 in the final game of the Cathedral City Classic on Saturday night.

The Terps had one final chance to string together a couple of runs and leave Palm Springs, Calif., with a win.

Instead, the Terps went down in order, giving Cal Poly pitcher Sierra Hyland her first no-hitter in the fifth start of her freshman year.

The loss dropped the Terps to 1-14 this season for their

worst start in program history, which dates back to 1995. The only years the Terps had failed to win more than five of their first 15 games were in 1995, when the Terps were 5-10, and last season, when they started 4-11. Neither team made the NCAA tournament, despite the 2013 team winning 31 games and finishing third in the ACC. “We’re going to be fine,” coach Laura Watten said. “We just have to stay together as a team and as a unit and continue to build and grow and get strong.”

As a team, the Terps struggled offensively again this weekend. After scoring four

From PAGE 8 Wells grabbed the rebound with 16 seconds to play.

Coach Mark Turgeon elected not to call a timeout as Wells turned up the floor, instead hoping the Terps could find a quality shot in transition.

Wells, the Terps’ leading scorer, pitched the ball to Faust, who drove up the left side of the floor at Orange center Baye Moussa Keita and rose for a layup. Though Keita and Faust made contact in the air, the referees didn’t call a foul and Faust’s attempt was off the mark.

“Those things happen, man,” Wells said. “It could have went either way.

It could have been a foul.”

Turgeon felt as if Keita fouled Faust on the play, but Boeheim disagreed.

“They shot 27 free throws,” Boeheim said. “If anybody’s going to complain about officiating, I’m going to complain.”

Either way, Faust couldn’t finish the shot and the Terps were forced to foul Orange guard Trevor Cooney after Syracuse corralled the rebound.

Last season, the Terps had six players hit over .300, including infielder Lindsey Schmeiser, who hit .347 with 12 home runs and 59 RBIs on her way to earning ACC Freshman of the Year honors. This season, she is hitting .267.

took four dribbles before chucking a 3-pointer that clanked off the backboard to the right of the hoop, clipped the rim and bounced away as time expired.

“I didn’t have enough time to do a full jump shot,” said Allen, who scored a game-high 22 points. “I tried to just get it off and tried to get the best shot I could.”

Allen’s misfire on the desperation attempt was the last of a string of plays in the final 50 seconds of Monday night’s game that didn’t go in the Terps’ favor.

As Boeheim made sure to point out in his news conference, the Orange has had its share of close games and still holds a 26-2 record.

The Terps, though, have often come out of hotly contested games without a win, aside from Wells’ late 3-pointer to lift the Terps over Miami in January.

Monday’s game, though, was just the latest chapter in a season full of narrow escapes for the Orange and near misses for the Terps.

“It’s a little frustrating,” Allen said.

“We’re playing good basketball and we keep coming up short.”

to give the Orange a 57-55 lead, and the Terps called a timeout to set up an inbounds play with 3.5 seconds left.

Forward Charles Mitchell, inbounding the ball under his own basket, couldn’t get the ball to either of the Terps’ top two options on the play.

“There’s a reason [Boeheim] has won 900 games,” Turgeon said. “[He] took our initial play away.”

So Mitchell passed the ball to Allen, who turned up the floor and akasinitzdbk@gmail.com

In addition, the Terps’ power hitting has been almost nonexistent. Through their first 15 games last season, the Terps hit 11 home runs, but Schmeiser has the Terps’ only homer through the 15 games this season. While the long balls haven’t returned, the Terps showed some potential to hit with power with four doubles over the weekend.

“We had some good outings offensively,” Watten said. “For the most part, we just have to be consistent from game to game.”

Though Watten has never had a team start with this many losses, she has had a team collapse after a near-perfect start.

INJURIES From PAGE 8

In 2008, the Terps began the season winning 19 of 20 games before finishing 17-22 and missing the postseason.

“It’s just really recognizing that this is the first stage of the season,” Watten said.

Watten knows the Terps still have plenty of the season left — including all of ACC play — and that 15 games is not enough time to consider her team a disappointment.

“We have to keep going because we have a hell of a lot of season left,” Watten said.

team to keep the momentum going from each event to get the scores we need,” senior captain Ebony Walters said.

For the Terps, the adjustments have not been limited to new faces in the lineups. The order the upperclassmen were accustomed to also changed when Dodds tore her Achilles during warm-ups at North Carolina.

“Ebony has to get used to going last on floor, and Steph has to get used to going last on vault,” Nelligan said. “These things take time, but they are really starting to understand their new positions.”

With Tang’s return and minimal lineup changes the past couple weeks, the Terps now look to build off two season highs last meet as they start a three-meet road trip. With Dodds and Jones out for the season, however, Black and the other gymnasts who were given opportunities will need to continue to perform at a high level.

“It doesn’t matter what setbacks we have,” Nelligan said. “We still have our goals, and they decided we can either use them as excuses or use them as motivation. And they have chosen motivation.”

vital during their current six-meet winning streak.

“Everybody has been stepping up altogether,” junior captain Stephanie Giameo said. “There hasn’t been one person here or there. As a team, we have been approaching each meet with more confidence.”

The injuries and early-season stumbles on beam forced Nelligan to continuously tweak lineups and try new gymnasts. But after the adjustment period passed, the Terps found success with a consistent lineup that features gymnasts, such as Black, who weren’t competing prior to the injuries.

Nelligan said he doesn’t expect one person to step in and replace the scores of an injured teammate. Rather, he expects every person in the lineup to improve their own score by a tenth to help make up for that loss.

Black stepped in with her critical score against North Carolina, and her success trickled for the rest of the event. The Terps set a season-best score on bars with a 49.025.

MIDFIELDER TAYLOR CUMMINGS had a first-half hat trick and finished with seven points in last night’s 14-3 victory against Hofstra. file photo/the diamondback about two minutes later to give the Terps six unanswered goals, a string that put the game out of reach.

“The girls came out firing,” Reese said. “And that led to three goals in three minutes in the first part of the second half, which is just how we wanted it to be.”

After a seven-goal performance against Penn State, attacker Brooke Griffin scored her first of the game with 23:44 remaining. It took her just 32 seconds to find the back of the net again.

But it was Cummings who generated the greatest spark on a frigid night in New York. Coming off her least productive game of the season, the sophomore led the Terps with five draw controls, and her four assists are a team-high this season.

“We needed to tough through the weather and tough through Hofstra’s defense,” Reese said. rbaillargeondbk@gmail.com

White eventually came around to score the game’s first run after his record-breaking steal. He swiped second again in the fifth.

Larry Long, who played for the Terps from 1997-2000, set the record, and Alfredo Rodriguez equaled it in 2012.

White’s contributions at the plate were equally important, though. After the Terps jumped out to a 2-0 lead, the Dukes scored two runs in the first and third innings, taking a 4-2 lead.

White responded with a twoout, two-RBI double in the fourth to tie the game, and the Terps never trailed again.

“If he doesn’t get that, we leave a guy in scoring position three straight innings, and that would have been pretty bad,” Szefc said.

The Terps exploded for five runs in the fifth, taking a 9-4 lead in their first comeback win of the season.

we transitioned the ball downfield.”

Cummings broke a scoreless tie five minutes into the game on a free position shot. The Terps (5-0), who have jumped out to fast starts in their past few games, didn’t score for nearly 15 minutes after Cummings’ goal.

Hofstra (2-2) scored with 12:04 remaining in the first half, but Cummings responded with her second goal of the game just more than a minute later to regain the lead for the Terps. After Cummings controlled the ensuing draw, midfielder Kelly McPartland wrapped around the goal and rifled a shot in the top left corner for her 10th goal of the season.

With 2:52 remaining in the first half, a Hofstra player fouled Cummings as she ran toward the goal, but Cummings managed to fire a shot on her way to the ground. The ball found the back of the net to give the Terps a 4-1 lead entering halftime.

“We got a lot of looks at goal in the first half, we just weren’t scoring,” Reese said.

The Terps got on the board early in the second half, though. Midfielder Beth Glaros controlled the period’s opening draw, and Cummings found midfielder Zoe Stukenberg, who finished for her ninth goal of the season 12 seconds in.

Goalkeeper Abbey Clipp made a save after Hofstra controlled the next draw, and midfielder Erin Collins picked up a ground ball to put the Terps back on offense. Cummings then dished out her second assist in a 46 second span when she found McPartland for her second goal of the game.

CAREER STEALS FOR CHARLIE WHITE

With his pair of steals in yesterday’s 13-6 Terps win at James Madison, the Terps center fielder broke a three-way tie for first place in the Terps’ record books for career steals. White was tied with former Terps Larry Long and Alfredo Rodriguez at 62.

One game after the Terps recorded just three hits, six Terps had a hit, and three — White, shortstop Blake Schmit and designated hitter Michael Rescigno — had multi-hit games. Every starter reached base at least once.

Dukes left-hander Aaron Hoover left after just 3.2 innings, becoming the fifth opposing starter the Terps have chased before the end of four innings.

“We always try and get to their bullpen as fast as we can,” Schmit said. “We take pride in getting that starter out of the game and just pounding away.”

While the Terps gave up six runs, they allowed the Dukes no more than two runs in a single inning, while playing in what Szefc described as a hitter’s ballpark.

Left-hander Jake Drossner picked up the win in his first start of the season, going five innings and allowing five hits and four runs.

“Jake had a good start, gave us five real strong innings,” Szefc said. “Really made big pitches in the fifth.”

After the Terps’ five-run fifth, lefthanders Zach Morris, Jamie Pashuck and Rob Galligan made their first appearances of the season to close out the victory.

White was the star of the afternoon, though. While he started the season slowly — he was 2-for-20 entering yesterday — he broke through against the Dukes to boost the Terps to a road victory. “ I t’s a to u g h ga m e , s o yo u have to stay positive all the time and come to the ballpark with a good attitude and just stick to your approach,” White said. “It’s just a matter of staying positive and eventually you’ll get out of [slumps], if you stick to your game and your approach.” psuittsdbk@gmail.com

ON THE WRONG END

Against a team with its own share of close calls, Terps couldn’t complete upset late in Monday’s loss to No. 4 Syracuse

By Aaron Kasinitz @AaronKazreports Senior staff writer Jim Boeheim had to correct the reporter who suggested Monday that Syracuse’s past five games were unusually close.

“No, no. Amend that,” the Hall of Fame coach said after directing the Orange to a 57-55 victory over the Terrapins men’s basketball team. “How many games have we played in the

league, 15? All 15. Only one hasn’t been close.”

More often than not during ACC play, Syracuse has done enough to pull out victories in those tight contests. The Orange are 13-2 in the conference and have won six of those games by five points or less. The Terps, meanwhile, are 1-3 in ACC games decided by less than five points.

Monday night, the Terps outscored Syracuse 5-1 in the final two minutes but narrowly missed a few late opportunities to polish off their frantic comeback. Forward Jake Layman

missed a free throw with 47.7 seconds left that would have tied the game, guard Nick Faust missed a contested layup through contact with less than 10 seconds to play and guard Seth Allen missed a running 3-pointer at the buzzer.

And in a result that seemed to fit the script of both teams’ seasons, the Orange left College Park with a two-point victory.

“There are certain opportunities that we get that we have to take full advantage of,” guard Dez Wells said. “We can’t miss free throws

down the stretch. I missed one; Jake missed one. I should have made better decisions down the stretch for us as a team. … I feel like that really cost us the game.”

Even after Layman — a 71 percent freethrow shooter entering the game — was off the mark on his first of two free throws, the Terps had a chance to take the lead when Syracuse forward C.J. Fair missed a short jumper and See CLOSE, Page 7

White sets steals mark with two in road win

Black posts critical score in Friday win over North Carolina

Center fielder goes 3-for-5 at James Madison

By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Staff writer The Terrapins gymnastics team headed to the uneven bars against North Carolina on Friday needing a spark to get the night headed in the right direction, after posting a season-low score on vault.

Senior Elizabethe Manzi started the rotation off by sticking her landing, but she received a 9.675, a score the Terps would eventually drop. The jolt the Terps were looking for came next. Senior Jessie Black, competing for just the third time in any event this season, posted a 9.875, her career-high and a Terps-best on bars this season.

Black is one of the many gymnasts who have received an opportunity this season because of injuries to senior AllAmerican Katy Dodds and sophomores Kathy Tang and Haley Jones. Just like her teammates in past meets, Black capitalized on her chance and delivered a needed routine.

“Things just kind of clicked,” coach Brett Nelligan said. “Bars just wasn’t going well, and she was having trouble with the dismount. And then finally about two or three weeks into the season at practice, the dismounts started clicking, and now she is on a roll.”

After joining the lineup three meets ago, Black now has the highest bars average on the team.

The Terps’ outlook was bleak in early February after they lost at New Hampshire, falling to 1-3 on the season. The Terps were competing without Dodds and Jones, who both suffered season-ending injuries, and Tang, who was hampered by her injuries, forcing her to sit out some events. But the Terps stepped up in place of their injured teammates, and performances like Black’s have been SENIOR JESSIE BLACK has emerged as one of the Terps’ top options on bars this season See injuries, Page 7 after injuries to contributors thinned the team’s lineup. file photo/the diamondback
