NITE ride considers Uber-like phone app Students could be able to request rides easier By Morgan Eichensehr @MEichensehr Staff writer DOTS is looking into developing a free mobile application for NITE Ride to remedy some complaints about the nighttime curb-to-curb service. The application would function like the transportation service app Uber, which allows users to request a taxi to pick them up from their preferred location, said David Allen, Department of Transportation Services director. “Someone can request a ride via the app. They’ll know where the vehicle is; the vehicle will know where they are and can be dispatched to get them,” Allen said. “So students could stay inside, stay safe and come out as the vehicle pulls up.” Allen said this idea came up in a recent meeting with University Police Chief David Mitchell when discussing student safety. T he current Shuttle-UM NITE R ide service offers students a ride to campus destinations that normal bus routes don’t service. However, some students said they experienced long waiting times and unhelpful operators. Senior nursing student Laurie Hu nt sa id she uses N I T E R ide regularly and thinks the app could promote safety. “[The dispatcher] will tell me a time and I’ll go outside and wait, and I just don’t feel safe, and it’s freezing or snowing,” Hunt said. With the app, “students wouldn’t have to wait outside in the dark.” Last week, the Residence Hall Association approved a resolution presented by Transportation Advisory Committee Chairman Steve Chen, calling for the development of the app. About 24,000 NITE Rides were requested over the past academic year, Chen said. He said there are currently two NITE Ride vehicles serving students, with an average arrival time of about 12 minutes. However, he said, many students complain about several aspects of the service.

Workshop for wildlife help refreshes univ student group Project WILD event aims to spread awareness By Aisha Sharipzhan @aishasharipz Staff writer Members of this university’s Wildlife Society chapter were taken back to their elementary school days Sunday while participating in a workshop to learn how to better educate others about animals and the environment. The Wildlife and Heritage Service

of this state’s Department of Natural Resources brought the Project WILD workshop to this university. The aim was to train the club members — potential future educators — about wildlife and environmental conservation. About 20 club members came out to the six-hour workshop in the Animal Science/Agricultural Engineering Building, looking to gain resources and tips on how to educate children and adults about these concepts, said Kerry Wixted, education specialist for the Department of Natural Resources’ Wildlife and Heritage Service and leader of the presentation. “It’s been very educational and informational. … I’m glad I came here to see how things work out,” freshman biology major Katie Mullen said. “[Working with children in the future] is definitely a possibility.” Sze Wing Yu, the president of this See wild, Page 2

ity, Wixted told the students that the white poker chips represented pesticides, as the game was meant to portray bioaccumulation, or the collection of chemicals or pesticides in an organism. “We all learn about [bioaccumulation] in class, even in high school you’ll learn about it, but it’s more effective when … you count all your chips and you’re like, ‘Oh no, I didn’t survive after all!’ It makes an impact,” Yu said. Throughout the workshop, Wixted enhanced her explanations with animal replicas and models and facts about wildife in this state. She also handed out fact sheets and children’s books to the students so they could use them if they work with children in the future. Ju n i o r e n v i r o n m e n t a l science a nd pol icy major Julie Copiz said she found the workshop helpful because it gave her a broader understanding of the concepts she learns in classes. “[The workshop] gives a better understanding to all ages … so that they appreciate nature more, especially in urban areas where they don’t interact with nature as much,” Copiz said. Yu said the Wildlife Society might be incorporating these activities for young audiences at their Maryland Day table later this month.

university’s chapter of the Wildlife Society, said this type of workshop is important for university students among this field to attend so they can use wildlife knowledge to help them in their career plans. Wixted’s workshop consisted of teaching more than five activities that could be used to instruct different age groups. Fo r e x a m p l e , a g a m e named “Oh, Deer!” involves one group representing deer, others that act as predators and another that symbolizes natural resources such as water, food and shelter. In the game, the deer compete for limited resources while the predators hunt the deer, demonstrating the resource competition among species in an ecosystem. “I didn’t know we were going to do so many activities, [but] I really enjoyed doing it,” said Yu, a senior environmental science and policy major. “We [also] did outdoor activities and people seemed to like it. One was where we split up into groups and went around nearby to look for signs of wildlife and water.” Another game consisted of students playing the role of grasshoppers looking for food by col lect i ng poker chips.

The feeling onstage, raising those numbers, it’s absolutely incredible — there’s nothing like it.” On Saturday, Terp Thon became the eighth-highe s t-f u n d ra i s i n g d a n c e marathon in the nation for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, moving up from its No. 10 spot last year, said Tracy Flack, assistant director of Children’s Miracle Network. “It was very rewarding to see those numbers up there after dancing my butt off all day,” freshman business student Kevin Eberhardt said. More than 400 colleges and high schools held dance marathons for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and raised $16 million for 170 children’s hospitals last year. “Their fundraising helps ensure that Children’s National can deliver worldclass ca re,” Flack sa id. “They help us ensure we

can really make it a children’s hospital, that we can have art therapists, music therapists, specialized equipment for pediatric patients. They help us ensure that kids can be kids when they come to Children’s National.” To reach and exceed their $600,000 goa l th is yea r, Terp Thon members focused on turning the event into a yearlong fundraising effort, Vaccaro said. In the fall, the organization hosted its first-ever FTK We ek, w it h c a mpu sw ide events held each day. Over the course of the seven days, it raised $34,000. Te r p T h o n a l s o h e l d a one-day fundraising push Feb. 18, with the hope of collecting $15,000 in 24 hours. They surpassed that goal by about hour 15, raising more than $42,000 by the end of the day, Pontius said. “It’s an amazing feeling to set up with one goal and then absolutely crush it,” she said. Unlike in past years, Terp Thon was held in Xfinity Pavilion instead of Ritchie Coliseum or Cole Field House. The pavilion has a 2,000-person capacity, compared to Ritchie’s 1,000-person capacity. “Last year at Ritchie, we were at capacity the whole d ay, a nd t h at wa s re a l ly

It allows us to focus on the families and the dancers who come instead of worrying about how we’re going to fit. ” Throughout the 12 hours of dancing, “Miracle Families” shared their stories — an element of the dance m a rat h o n t h at c re ate s a c on n e c t ion b e t we e n t h e campus community and the hospital, said Maryam Abutaleb, Terp Thon’s hospital relations chairwoman. “When you bring everyone in the same room, students see where thei r money is going and families see how ma ny people a re here for

them,” said Abutaleb, a junior special education major. Some of the Miracle Kids, including 12-year-old Amanda Merrell, put on talent shows throughout the event. Merrell was 2 years old when she was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma and doctors amputated her left leg. And despite having had another surgery on her femur just two weeks ago, Merrell took to the Terp Thon stage and performed Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” and Hannah Montana’s “Life’s What You Make It.” It was the first time since the surgery that she put her prosthetic leg back on. “The songs are related to my story,” she said. “I think about the things I’ve overcome.” trichmandbk@gmail.com

Theater From PAGE 1 thought that with enough support, the location could become a community staple. “It felt like a really good fit where I could use my strengths as a film academic and connections in that world, and also with the community on this campus to breathe new light into the theater,” she said. The theater will continue to screen m a i nst rea m movies at night, but it will now hold events, film series and special screenings for the first time, McGrath said. For example, she hopes to start by showing Oscar-nominated movies and other notable films from the nine months

during which the theater was closed for renovation. McGrath said she hopes the theater becomes a cinematic hub for the university, as students can easily reach it via the 130 Greenbelt Shuttle-UM route. “It’s another cultural experience that we’re offering to the community and to get the students to go beyond the College Park borders a little bit,” she said. “It’s something students were not taking advantage of as much as they should, and we’re hoping this is a way to bring them to Greenbelt.” McGrath will also offer film class-related screenings or host other academic events at the theater. She is already working with the film department and the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, and she said she

will provide film exhibition internships to students. While Clarice officials said it was too early to release event details, the film department hopes to host the first event at the theater later this semester or early in the fall semester, said Brian Real, a graduate assistant for the film studies department. The department hopes to screen a silent film with local band Boister providing live accompaniment to the film’s score. While this university has the Hoff Theater in Stamp Student Union, the department must rent out the theater, which is expensive — $730 for a full day or $440 for a half-day — and usually can only be done once or twice a semester, he said. The new space means more

events, and screening rarer films, Real said, thanks to an easier, more sophisticated projection method at Greenbelt. “For Greenbelt, the thing is, we’ll be able to get things from archives, places like the Library of Congress and so on, and show stuff that is extremely hard to see,” Real said. “And they will be able to show good prints of it without actually damaging them. Hoff cannot do this.” Greenbelt’s nonprofit approach is new for the area, but has quickly become a popular and successful way to support independent, smaller theaters, McGrath said. The Senator Theatre in Baltimore is also a nonprofit. The Greenbelt City Council voted unanimously for Mc-

Grath’s plan in December during a meeting about the theater. McGrath formed her plan after attending several conferences on the topic and talking to other single-screen theater owners. “It almost sounded too good to be true, but once I backed it up with evidence and research and showed [the city council], ‘Look, there were all these other people doing it,’ they were willing to take that leap,” she said. B ei n g a nonprof it a l so means the theater can apply for grants, McGrath said, but it will depend on ticket sales and concessions. McGrath’s nonprofit model made the plan very appealing, Greenbelt City Councilwoman Leta Mach said. The

council heard other plans for the theater, but McGrath’s put community and education first. “When I think about the theater business, I think it’s difficult to survive without somet h i n g e x t ra ,” M a ch said. “T his way gives the theater what it needs to be the most successful.” The theater has been in operation since 1938, when Eleanor Roosevelt helped spearhead the project as part of the New Deal, McGrath said. Recently, the city spent $1.2 million to renovate the theater’s concession stand, fully digitize the screens, install the 35mm projector and provide basic systematic updates to the theater, she said. jsnowdbk@gmail.com

She said she would appreciate an app that could make the service more accessible. Hunt agreed and said she would rather use an app to request rides than deal with the “frustrating” current

said she was concerned that students might not be awa re of the $1 cost to DOTS and would use the serv ice a rbitra ri ly. She said she worried that this expense would show up in mandatory fees if it became more popular than expected. Gideon Potok, a sophomore computer science and economics major and RHA senator, voted against the RHA resolution. “Students may not realize the impact of this service because they may not feel it in their pocket,” Potok said. “It seems like just a free taxi service.” But Allen said he doesn’t ex pect to need to ra ise mandatory fees as a result of frequent app use. “NITE Ride is our doorto-door service that fills in where our buses don’t go,” Allen said. “It can only be so popular because it only goes so many places.”

dispatching system. “It’s a really good idea, and I would definitely use it because I just get really fed up,” Hunt said. “Especially when it’s really backed up or you have to wait for a driver and sometimes you worry they forget about you — and sometimes they have.” The university’s budget crunch led DOTS to apply for grant money to help fund the project, which would cost about $4,950 to develop, Chen said. Allen said DOTS is pursuing grants from the Pepsi Enhancement Fund and Pa rents I n it i at ives F u nd and should know whether it received both grants by the beginning of June. Allen said he has been talking with an app developer about app customization and implementing the app on the campus. Chen said the app is expected to cost DOTS about $1 per use, which would be paid to the developer. RHA President Sree Sinha meichensehrdbk@gmail.com

Fracking is OK

Hold campuses accountable

Opinion Editor

STAFF EDITORIAL

he Diamondback often reports on uncomfortable or depressing topics, not the least of which is sexual assault on the campus. It’s unsettling to learn about fellow students’ struggles, and it’s frustrating to write and read about the same crimes and the same pain, despite all the university’s efforts to protect its community from assault. But not reporting on sexual assault would be unforgivable. Community members must be informed before they can support victims and advocate change, and this newspaper takes its duty to inform very seriously. That’s why this editorial board supports a congressional bill that would hold universities to the same standard. The Campus Accountability and Safety Act, a bill introduced to the U.S. Senate by a bipartisan group of sponsors, would make reporting sexual assaults more transparent by requiring universities to disclose data on how many cases of sexual assault they investigate and the outcomes of those investigations. The information disclosed would be distressing, but making it publicly available would force students, administrators and the nation to face the realities in which many of their classmates, pupils and friends are already living. The bill takes a two-pronged approach. Its policy requirements would ensure that every university receiving federal funding has staff and systems in place to help victims of sexual assault, and its reporting requirements would put pressure on schools to ensure that those staff and systems are working well. In terms of policy, this university has already worked to offer resources to sexual assault victims. The Office of Civil Rights & Sexual Misconduct

website provides discreet reporting options, “Know Your Rights” guides for victims and accused individuals, links to on- and off-campus support and more. But when it comes to reporting, some officials have expressed qualms. Title IX Coordinator Catherine Carroll told The Diamondback that the university doesn’t want students to look at low adjudication rates for alleged assaults and think administrators aren’t doing enough. OUR VIEW

This university should adhere to a proposed U.S. Senate bill requiring universities to disclose sexual assault data. Some cases aren’t adjudicated because of the accuser’s “age or jurisdiction” or because the university makes accommodations such as housing or schedule changes for the alleged victim, Carroll said. Sexual assault is a complex issue, and it makes sense that the university would need to address different cases in different ways. But the university should never hide data from the community out of fear people will misunderstand its complexities. This is a time to explain the situation, not conceal it. If the rate at which this university adjudicates alleged perpetrators of sexual misconduct is acceptable, then the university should be able to convince intelligent, invested students of it. If the rate is problematically low, then the university should not be allowed to hide it. Moreover, releasing discouraging data is not worse than releasing

nothing. It’s common knowledge that about 1 in 5 women will experience a sexual assault during her time at college. The Rape, Abuse a n d I n ce s t Na t i o n a l Ne two rk reports that nearly 70 percent of assaults go unreported; and a documentary on campus assault, The Hunting Ground, debuted in January and is touring campuses around the nation. The absence of hard data does not create a rosy picture of assault on this campus; it merely makes assault seem less immediate, a national ratio rather than a local number. If this university did disclose the number of alleged assaults it investigates each year and the punishments perpetrators receive, it would at least be acknowledging its struggle with sexual assault. Furthermore, if it did so without a federal mandate, it would set an example for other institutions. While a campus with a documented sexual assault problem might not be appealing to potential new students, it would look better than one that refuses to release its data altogether. Reporting requirements would pressure universities to improve their services, too. If an administration cannot hide embarrassing data, it can only try to improve over time by training its staff (another provision of the bill) and making more resources available to students. Data would also allow the community to better understand the state of on-campus sexual assault and perhaps encourage more people to get involved with awareness and support efforts. The Campus Accountability and Safety Act is about bringing sexual assault into the light of public scrutiny, and this university should support that goal through its own actions.

half as much carbon dioxide, less than a third as much nitrogen oxides, and one percent as much sulfur oxides at the power plant.” In regard to the seismic activity triggered by the injection of fracking waste into the ground, this “scientific finding” has led to incendiary responses from many renowned geologists, including Mark Zoback, Stanford geophysicist, who told a U.S. Senate committee, “The earthquakes in question would have occurred someday as a natural geologic process — injection could simply advance their time of occurrence.” He also said that “no earthquake triggered by fluid injection has ever caused serious injury or significant damage.” The National Research Council conducted a study and similarly concluded that “hydraulic fracturing to date has been confirmed as the cause for small, felt seismic events at one location in the world. The process of hydraulic fracturing as well as that presently implemented for shale gas recovery does not pose a high risk for inducing felt seismic events.” Herein lies the mechanism environmentalists use to further their agenda: egregiously distorting facts by presenting them out of context. Despite their foolishness, their deception and rhetoric still carries the ability to influence public opinion and lawmakers. Because it is not wrong to say that environmentalists’ allegations are based on truths, an unscrupulous audience can very easily perceive such distorted information as frightening. In Fedarko’s column, he ironically writes, “[If] decades of mining disasters, oil spills and nuclear meltdowns have taught us anything, it’s that in spite of the energy sector’s best efforts, errors can and will happen.” I would like to inform him that fracking has been practiced in the United States since the 1940s, earlier than the production of nuclear energy, and there has never been an accident commensurate with those caused by coal-mining disasters, nuclear meltdowns or oil spills. Fedarko’s ignorance could be discounted if it were isolated to him, but he is currently disseminating this ignorance, with the backing of the SGA, for the purpose of passing legislation to impose a fracking moratorium in this state. We must question the legitimacy of his cause, as it does not seem as if the facts are on his side.

n the March 2 guest column “Fracking is not worth it,” Marcus Fedarko, a freshman and member of the SGA’s Student Sustainability Committee, argues against the harvesting of natural gas through fracking, especially in this state. Unfortunately, the absence of credible substantiation of many of his broad claims, as well as his confusion of correlation and causation in the sources he does cite, saturates his article with ignorance. The arguments Fedarko makes are not novel among other environmental organizations like the committee he represents. The usual accusations against the fracking industry include water contamination and exacerbating air-quality issues, among others. An investigation of these claims by experts and scientific studies reveals their deceptive nature and challenges their veracity. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study entitled “The Future of Natural Gas” found that certain cases of water contamination by natural gas have pointed to hydraulic fracturing wells as contributors. However, the study found that these outcomes were due to “substandard well completion practices by a few operators,” not a standard outcome of this industry, as many environmentalist groups seem to incessantly claim. Reports of contamination of tap water by fracking activity indicate that the water changes color and produces a fetid odor, so residents immediately know to stop using it. Although use of natural gas does contribute to the greenhouse effect, studies have shown that natural gas could displace coal, a much more toxic substance, as a primary source of fuel. This transition has led to a decrease of American greenhouse gas emissions since 2007, according to a 2014 U.S. Energy Information Administration study. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “Compared to the average air emissions from coal-fired generation” — which is the predominant domestic source of energy in the U.S., per the Energy Patrick An is a junior biology major.

he other day, the temperature rose to 48 degrees, and I could feel my inner shopaholic awakening. Crop top season is upon us. Time to buy new wedges and dresses. Time to shop for a snazzy pair of shades. Time to blow all the money that we don’t actually have! Whether you’re working three jobs, living off a loan or mooching cash from your parents’ pockets, college is the financial low point of our lives. We wince at the empty ramen bowls sitting on our desks and the $34 left in our savings accounts. Yet we somehow still manage to afford fishbowls at Terrapin’s Turf or breakfast sandwiches at Bagel Place every weekend. Despite the hundreds of free XL cotton T-shirts we receive at university sporting events, we still head down to the University Shop off Knox Road to buy sick silky Under Armour tops. Do we feel ashamed as our banks call us for a third time in one week, warning us that we overdrew once again? Do we feel guilty as we call our mothers and

fathers begging for just a few bucks to be transferred into our accounts? Do we feel endless waves of disappointment when we find out that our $20 entrees will not provide us with leftovers? Yes. Yes, the struggle can be real. But what matters most is that despite our inability to shop anywhere other than T.J. Maxx, it’s socially acceptable to be broke. College is the only time where our parents will mail us food on our birthdays or make special trips to the grocery store when we go home for spring break. We can spend more money on Pizza Kingdom than on textbooks and still manage to keep our jobs and housing. We treat ourselves to concerts when we deserve them or trips to Washington after long exams, and the reason we do so is because this is the last time we can act selfishly. I have no idea how different the “real world” will actually be once I graduate, but I do know that I won’t have the time or money to go run a Tough Mudder race or get a henna tattoo on my forehead as a practical joke, or eat Chick-fil-A every Thursday even though I know it’s awful for me. Right now is the only time we can afford to treat ourselves. No mortgage. No kids. No commitments.

But of course, my college debt is rapidly increasing every time I buy a Metro pass or a new pair of state flag socks. The day I graduate will be the day I‘m slammed with bills and interest fees, but I’m hoping my future career will take care of that. I’m determined to make it. Right now, however, I’m allowing my minimum-wage paychecks to carry me as far as I can go. I want to run Color Runs before my legs give out. I want to eat fried chicken and donuts before my metabolism shuts down. And I want to travel to weird places before I’m stuck at a desk. I’m simply willing to spend my nonexistent income on new experiences while I can. And while this debt piles up, there are only two things we can do: enjoy life and give our parents ginormous hugs. My parents have been so generous to dish out the money they think I need to truly experience my youth but wise enough to make me finance poor decisions on my own. Mom and Dad, I promise I will pay you back one day. As for now, I have one year left to make poor financial decisions. So, who wants to go shopping? Katie Stuller is a junior English m a j o r. S h e c a n b e re a c h e d a t kstullerdbk@gmail.com.

pring break is right around the corner, and many of us have warm, sunny destinations ahead. And as the stereotype goes, many of us are stressing out about our bodies in preparation. Whether you want to lose weight, gain weight, gain muscle or just look as though you’ve been totally healthy this whole year, you know you have to seriously change your lifestyle. Going to the gym more, drinking more water, eating less junk food, or getting more sleep in general all take hard work. As spring break approaches, you find that you are nowhere near your goal body. What happened? It’s easy: You didn’t go to the gym; you watched Netflix instead. You didn’t drink more water; you just drank more alcohol, especially over the four-day weekend. And over that four-day weekend, you ate more junk food than your bank account and belly could handle. Body goals require self-control, and what’s annoying is how susceptible they are to a loss of self-control. Long ago, I read an article that explained self-control from a dietary perspective. Skipping all of the science jumbo, I think my paraphrase will bring the point home. Imagine your brain is a bowl and self-control is measured in marbles: The more marbles in your bowl, the more self-control you can exercise. When you decide to not click that tempting “play next episode” link on Netflix and go for a run instead, you

exercise self-control; you didn’t do what you really wanted, but you gave it up for what is good for you. You must now take a marble out of your bowl, as you have used up some of your self-control. That’s how your brain works: The more self-control you exercise, the less you have left over. So theoretically, after a day of awesome, healthy decisions, you are frothing at the mouth at night, calling for Chinese food delivery from a place you don’t even like because you just have no self-control left. The problem with maintaining selfcontrol when dieting, living on a college campus and having a four-day weekend before spring break is that none of those things allow for you to replenish your self-control. Your brain needs glucose, a type of sugar found in citrus-y fruit and some fish, to replenish the self-control it used up. So to get some marbles back in your bowl, you have to eat some tangerines, salmon or nuts throughout the day. We can all agree that’s not always feasible in college. Moreover, alcohol is one of the most powerful drainers of glucose in the brain. So when you day-drank for two days in a row last weekend, you drained your glucose, and thus your self-control, without even making any healthy decisions. The solution seems simple: Eat more fruit, drink less alcohol, and you’ll be better able to maintain self-control in order to achieve your body goals. Easier said than done. But now you know the science behind your failures, and perhaps you can use it to your advantage come summertime. Margaret Zelenski is a senior criminology and criminal justice and English major.

HOROSCOPE | STELLA WILDER

orn today, you are as curious as you are industrious, and this is sure to give you a tremendous advantage in life -- especially as you begin to make your way in the highly competitive world of professional endeavor. You are driven to learn as much as you can about the world around you -- what makes it turn, what makes the people in it tick, what opportunities there may be for you, how you may be able to take advantage of those opportunities, and most importantly how all of these essentials are intertwined and affect each other on a daily basis. You are observant and studious, and you have been endowed with a fine memory for even the tiniest of details; once a thing is learned, it stays learned. The ebb and flow of life is a source of constant fascination to you, and you never miss a trick. You are entertained by the antics of others.

REVIEW | UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT

Breaking in a new hit Tina Fey’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is looking like the newest in a long line of Netflix original success stories

By Hannah Lang @DBKDiversions For The Diamondback Once again, Tina Fey has proved she’s a comedy force to be reckoned with — but you probably knew that already. Un b re a k a b l e K i m m y Schmidt, the brand-new sitcom and brainchild of Fey and Robert Carlock (both minds behind 30 Rock) premiered Friday on Netflix. The 13 episodes in the show’s first season were originally intended for NBC, but after the network decided to drop the show, Netflix picked it up for two seasons. The show stars Ellie Kemper as the title character. You might recognize her from The Office and Bridesmaids, in which she consistently delivered hilarious performances as two separate characters with equally innocent and positive per-

an apartment, she meets her future roommate Titus (Tituss Burgess, 30 Rock). Burgess delivers a relatively underwhelming performance as the stereotypical gay man trying to make it as an actor in New York City. The trope is overused in sitcoms and doesn’t leave much room for character development, but Burgess tries to make the most of his character. Though Burgess had a large following on 30 Rock, his character as Titus isn’t believable or anything new. K immy also finds a job as a nanny for Jacqueline Voorhes (Jane Krakowski, 30 Rock), a self-absorbed trophy wife living with her son and stepdaughter. Krakowski’s character alone isn’t particularly memorable, but her interactions with Kimmy often elicit the funniest scenes and lines in the show.

sonalities. Kimmy Schmidt is no exception. Despite being kidnapped by a religious apocalyptic cult leader and spending the past 15 years in an underground bunker with three other women, Kimmy is a firm believer in pure sunny positivity. The “Indiana mole women” are rescued from their bunker, and they are transported back to modern-day society. But after coming to the Big Apple for The Today Show with Matt Lauer, Kimmy decides to stay in New York City. Most of the pilot episode is very reminiscent of Elf — Kimmy looks a lot like Will Ferrell prancing around the city like a kid on a sugar high. She eats candy for dinner, doesn’t understand how automatic sink faucets wo rk a n d b uys l i g h t - u p rainbow sneakers. After Kimmy searches for

S i n c e s h ows l i k e T h e Office and Parks and Recreation ended, there haven’t been many network sitcoms that draw a large audience and have a cast of talented comedians. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt succeeds in taking a stab at the genre. The first season of the show was originally produced to air on NBC, so it will be interesting to see how the second season differs. The writers will have much more freedom and an opportunity to step away from the show’s 30 Rock roots. Ellie Kemper comes to life as the title character in Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a Although the show isn’t new comedy from 30 Rock’s Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. photo courtesy of ign on youtube.com necessarily a surefire hit at first glance, Tina Fey’s past success combined with the talents of the show’s actors Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Isn’t The First Show rescued by netflix indicate that Unbreakable • Marco Polo (originally developed by starz) Kimmy Schmidt might be • Arrested Development, Season four (Originally aired on Fox) a successful sitcom in the • The killing , season four (originally aired on AMc) near future.

HUSKERS From PAGE 8 shooting from the field on the night, and Trimble and Wells closed out the game o n t h e o f fe n s ive e n d to polish off the Terps’ seventh straight win. Trimble finished with a team-high 21 points and sparked a key second-half run. Wells, meanwhile, added 18 points and hit a big shot with 8.8 seconds left that helped the Terps (26-5, 14-4 Big Ten) fend off the Cornhuskers (13-17, 5-13) and improve to 10-0 in games decided by six points or fewer. “We just try to grind it out every game,” Wells said, “regardless of it is easy or not.” Early on, though, things were a bit hectic for the Terps. Trimble and Pack’s presence on the bench because of foul trouble only added to the wackiness of an off-kilter first half. Each team committed at least 12 personal fouls in the opening 20 minutes, but neither shot better than 39 percent from the field. The result was a sluggish first half played at a snail’s pace in which neither team

ORANGE From PAGE 8 The Orange barreled out of halftime with renewed momentum when Treanor scored three goals in a 4:06 span, the first coming less than two minutes into the period. “She is just one incredible player,” Fitzpatrick said of Treanor. “She can just find any hole in the net and put it in there, and I give her props. I was very impressed.”

could pull away. Trimble, in his limited time on the floor, scored nine first-half points, and guard Dez Wells added seven to keep the Terps afloat. Meanwhile, Nebraska’s star, guard Terran Petteway, did his best to spark the Cornhuskers on their Senior Night. Though Petteway scored 14 points in the first half, he picked up his third foul less than two minutes before halftime when seldom-used Terps guard Varun Ram drew a charge on the lanky guard. “Other guys were in foul trouble, so Coach put me in, and that’s kind of what I do,” Ram said. “I make people uncomfortable.” Still, Nebraska used a 9-1 run out of the locker room, which included two free throws after referees whistled coach Mark Turgeon for a technical foul, to build a small cushion. But midway through the second half, Trimble sparked a game-swinging 10-0 run. He first threaded the needle with a dime to forward Michal Cekovsky, who flushed home a dunk. Then Trimble caught a pass from Wells about two steps beyond the 3-point line and

Fitzpatrick finished the day with eight saves, seven of which came in the first period. After Poplawski’s w i p e d - o u t goa l fo l l owing Treanor’s outbreak, the Orange could only muster a final goal from attacker Halle Majorana, who transferred to Syracuse from the Terps’ program last year. After Cummings scored two insurance goals between the 20-minute and 12-minute marks, the Terps settled into a patient passing attack for the remainder of the contest.

drained the jumper to tie the score at 48 with 9:49 to play. After Trimble hit two free throws and whipped a pass to forward Jake Layman for a three, the Terps’ lead stood at five. The Cornhuskers swung back, though, and Shavon Shields completed an and-1 with 42 seconds to play to cut the lead to one. But with the shot clock winding down, Wells drilled his jumper with less than 10 seconds left from about 17 feet out on the left wing. Shields’ last-ditch 3-pointer clanged off the rim, and the Terps earned a win that affirms their position in the record books even before they begin Big Ten tournament play as the No. 2 seed Friday in Chicago. “Nobody can ever say we didn’t do something special or do something that exceeds any other team that has been at Maryland,” Wells said. “Even Juan [Dixon] and them didn’t have 26 regular-season wins. So I guess we have one up on him.” “But we have a lot more achievements to make before we can really talk about him.” akasinitzdbk@gmail.com

From PAGE 8 it provides an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. “It’s amazing,” Brown said with the cutdown net draped around her neck. “We are just having fun on this ride. Now we have no choice but to keep the streak going.” Brown, who led the Terps in scoring in the first two tournament contests, poured in 19 points to pace the team once again. Three other starters joined Brown, the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, in double figures. But they still had to combat Mitchell, who was single-handedly trying to pull her team to three straight wins in the tournament. After scoring 29 points in each of the Buckeyes’ first two games, the coaches’ Big Ten Player of the Year selection finished with 31 points on 11-for-20 shooting last night. “It was a lot of work. It took a lot of work,” said guard Shatori Walker-Kimbrough, who matched up with Mitchell for portions of the game. “Not just the person on her, but everybody had to be locked in on the court. … She’s a great player.” Mitchell pulled her team back after the Terps built a 15-point advantage early in the second half. Ohio State put together a 14-2 run that cut the Terps’ lead to 54-51 at the 12:49 mark.

TIGERS From PAGE 8

The 10-7 victory sealed the Terps’ fifth straight win to start the season, and it marked the team’s second defeat of a top-five opponent in that span. “It’s always nice to get [top-five] wins under our belt,” Cummings said. “But I don’t think we’ve played to our potential yet. We focus on the little things every day and every game, and we haven’t really accomplished a lot of those.” ccaplandbk@gmail.com

the defensive dominance. The two marked Princeton’s high-profile players and set the tone for the Terps’ effort in their own half. Last season, the Terps often turned to defender Goran Murray, a preseason first-team All-American, to mark their opponent’s best player. On Saturday, the Terps proved they can lock down good opponents without him. Tillman attributed part of the Terps’ success to preventing Princeton from earning extra-man opportunities. The Tigers had scored nine goals on man-up situa-

Froccaro opened scoring for the Tigers on an unassist-

ed goal with 3:14 left in the first quarter. But it was the only one of his five shots that got past Bernlohr (12 saves). Orban, though, didn’t find the same success. The last time Orban failed to score was March 1, 2013, when the Tigers beat Johns Hopkins, 11-8. Since then, Orban has established himself as one of college lacrosse’s premier scorers, and his streak marked the fourthlongest in program history. But the Terps halted Orban and the rest of Princeton’s offense Saturday en route to picking up a decisive win. “When we needed to dig in,” Tillman said, “the guys really dug in.” jneedelmandbk@gmail.com

Go Terps! Mark Turgeon

The Terps refused to let the Buckeyes climb ahead, though. “[Mitchell] took it upon herself to assert her will on us,” Brown said. “We responded great. We didn’t buckle.” With the help of a 49-28 rebounding edge and a 22-7 advantage in second-chance points, the Terps fended off Ohio State down the stretch. In addition to their dominance on the glass, the Terps caught fire from behind the arc. The Terps started the night by hitting 9 of their first 12 attempts from downtown. Their hot shooting eventually cooled, however, and that’s when the Buckeyes climbed back. But with less than five minutes remaining in regulation, center Brionna Jones, who battled foul trouble all night, grabbed offensive rebounds and finished putbacks on two possessions to help the Terps stave off the Buckeyes. Jones’ layup at the 3:33 mark was the Terps’ last field goal of the contest, but they managed to hold the lead until the final buzzer. And instead of suffering a loss on a Mitchell bucket that could’ve capped a double-digit comeback, the Terps remained on the court to receive their second Big Ten trophy of the season. “We’re not done. We’re not done yet,” Walker-Kimbrough said. “We got two goals down, and we still got one more to go.”

points for the final 13 minutes. “This team just continues to separate themselves in terms of making play after play after play for one another,” coach Brenda Frese said. “They definitely had to earn that game.” The tournament finals victory marks the Terps’ 24th win in a row, which matches the program record set during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.

LINCOLN, Neb. — About six minutes into the Terrapins men’s basketball game at Nebraska on Sunday night, Melo Trimble trotted to the bench, a place where he hasn’t spent much time during his head-turning freshman season. A couple minutes later, Richaud Pack, a starter who serves as the Terps’ No. 2 point guard, joined the star rookie on the sideline. The Terps have been saddled with several setbacks during their surprising surge into the national limelight this winter, and their final regular-season contest shoved a new set of challenges in their faces. They played without an established point guard for extended stretches, and they never quite gathered a rhythm before a restless Pinnacle Bank Arena crowd. No matter. As they have often done this season, the No. 10 Terps stood firm through a wave of sloppiness and pulled out a 64-61 victory behind the familiar formula of stout defense and solid late-game play from Trimble and guard Dez Wells. And this time, the Terps’ narrow triumph was historic, as it clinches a school-record 26 regular-season wins. The Terps went 25-3 before postseason play in their 2001-02 national championship season. “I always talk to the guys about being extraordinary,” coach Mark Turgeon said. “We had a chance to separate ourselves in history. So our guys were really dialed in.” The Terps held Nebraska to 30.5 percent

Terps take down Ohio State to clinch Big Ten tournament title, extend winning streak to 24 games By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Senior staff writer

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. — With the ball in the hands of the nation’s leading scorer and less than 20 seconds on the clock last night, No. 3-seed Ohio State had the chance to hand the top-seeded Terrapins women’s basketball team its first loss in 24 games. Buckeyes guard Kelsey Mitchell attempted to drive the lane, but she was called for a travel with seven seconds left after taking several

hits from Terps defenders. Terps guard Lexie Brown then drew a foul and calmly sunk a pair of free throws at the other end to give her team a three-point advantage with 3.8 seconds remaining. Mitchell’s 3-point try before the buzzer from just inside half-court clanged off the rim to ensure the Terps’ Big Ten tournament win. The Terps’ bench stormed the court as confetti rained down in celebration of a 77-74 win over the Buckeyes at Sears Centre Arena. It was a back-and-forth affair during which the Terps’ lead bounced between one and six

Defense stymies Princeton offense in lopsided victory Dunn, Ikeda key stout performance from nation’s stingiest unit By Joshua Needelman @JoshNeedelman Senior staff writer The Terrapins men’s lacrosse team ended a historic streak Saturday against Princeton. Tigers midfielder Kip Orban, a senior drafted 19th overall in the 2015 MLL draft by the Charlotte Hounds, entered the game having scored a goal in a Division I-leading 29 straight contests spanning back to his sophomore campaign. But with defenders Casey Ikeda and Matt Dunn forcing Orban and the rest of the high-powered Princeton attack into poor shooting positions, Orban’s streak ended, and the Terps shut down the Tigers in an 11-4 win at Byrd Stadium.

Behind the stout defensive performance, the Terps lowered their goalsagainst average from 5.25, which led the nation, to 5.00. “The glue down there, Matt Dunn and Casey Ikeda, do such a great job of keeping everything together,” coach John Tillman said. “Those seven guys, including the goalie, those guys have done a really good job. And if we can get those guys in those situations, we feel very confident that we can have a lot of success.” Orban wasn’t the only potent offensive player the Terps held scoreless Saturday. Attackman Mike MacDonald, who came into the game with 10 goals and a .417 shooting percentage, failed to find the back of the net. Meanwhile, midfielder Zach Currier, who earned

USILA Offensive Player of the Week and NCAA.com Offensive Player of the Week honors after totaling five points in the Tigers’ 16-15 win over Johns Hopkins on Feb. 28, was held without a shot and committed three turnovers. Tillman said the first-half play built his team’s confidence early in Saturday’s game. The Terps failed to clear and were forced to defend Princeton with four short-stick defenders. “We got it done,” Tillman said. “We saw that as a really good victory for us, just emotionally. Hey, we didn’t have all of our poles on, and we still found a way to get it done.” For Tillman, Ikeda and Dunn keyed defender Matt Dunn locks down on a Princeton attackman during the Terps’ 11-4 victory over the Tigers on See TIGERS, Page 7 Saturday. The Terps are allowing five goals per game on average this season. alexander jonesi/the diamondback

Cummings scores six goals to help hold off Syracuse Junior leads team to second victory over top-5 opponent in rematch of 2014 national championship game By Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan Staff writer The Terrapins women’s lacrosse team walked into the locker room at halftime of its contest against Syracuse on Saturday afternoon with a four-goal lead. But after the No. 1 Terps and No. 5 Orange kicked off the second half, attacker Kayla Treanor’s three straight goals in the period’s first six minutes helped the Orange cut the Terps’ lead to one. Then Syracuse appeared to tie the game when Orange midfielder Taylor

Poplawski’s crossing shot slipped past Terps goalie Alex Fitzpatrick nine minutes into the period. The score was wiped out, though, when referees called an illegal stick penalty. From there, the Terps followed the lead of midfielder Taylor Cummings, who had six goals on the day, to seal a 10-7 victory over the Orange in a rematch of the 2014 national championship. “[It was] definitely a momentum shift,” Cummings said. “You go from a tie game to a two-goal shift. I think that’s definitely a big swing, no matter who puts it in, so it definitely gave us a little more cushion

and kind of helped us breathe and relax and kind of take a little pressure off, which was nice.” Cummings led all scorers in the contest with seven points on six goals and one assist. The junior also grabbed two ground balls, controlled six draws and caused two turnovers. She recorded her second straight first-half hat trick and added an assist on Kristen Lamon’s goal with 31 seconds remaining in the first half. She posted another three goals afterward, all of which came after Poplawski’s score was called back in the second half. “That’s the kind of player she is,”

coach Cathy Reese said. “She’s all over the field, huge draw controls, huge possessions. She was feeling it today and led our team.” The Terps jumped out to a 1-0 lead less than one minute into the contest on a shot by midfielder Erin Collins. The Orange and the Terps then traded goals as the squads set a physical, aggressive tone in the first five minutes. Syracuse committed 18 fouls to the Terps’ eight in the first half and led the penalty category by a 28-17 margin by the game’s end. “They’re a very physical team, and I knew that’s the style they play,” Reese said. “We’re very familiar with

them, having competed against them quite often last year, so we needed to play through it.” With less then five minutes remaining in the first half, Cummings helped the Terps expand upon their 4-3 lead with two goals in less than three minutes. She also tallied her only assist of the day with 31 seconds left, a crossing pass through the crease to Lamon, who slashed the ball into the back of the Orange’s net. The Terps outshot Syracuse 30-20 on the day with a 20-12 margin in the opening period. See ORANGE, Page 7
